Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

They climbed over the wall and entered the inn's backyard.

"I already inquired about it for the bailiff this afternoon,"

Wang Er said in a low voice.

"Those two unfamiliar men lived in the room in the northwest corner,"

"Just go ahead, sir,"

"I'll stay here and keep watch for the bailiff."

"Alright, thank you for your trouble, Brother Wang."

Song Jiang cupped his hands in greeting.

With two henchmen,

According to Wang Er,

We arrived at the guest room in the northwest corner.

I knocked gently on the door.

A soft, alert shout suddenly rang out from inside the room.

"Who?"

"Waiter,"

One of the henchmen replied,

"Please open the door, sir. We've brought you water to wash your feet."

"No need,"

The person inside the room immediately answered.

Seeing that the other party remained wary and refused to open the door,

Timely Rain had no choice but to step forward personally.

He said in a low voice

"General Huyan, Commander Zhang, I am Song Jiang,"

"Upon learning that the two are now living here,"

"Therefore I have come specifically to see you!"

A moment of silence fell over the room.

After a while,

Only a tiny candlelight appeared.

Then,

The door opens,

But Zhang Qing, the Featherless Arrow, was standing at the door.

He looked at Song Jiang with a wary expression.

"Are you the timely rain, Song Jiang?"

“That’s right, it’s Xiao Ke,”

Song Jiang hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"This must be Zhang Qing, the Prefectural Commander of Dongchang Prefecture. I am..."

To finish speaking in order to wait for the timely rain,

Zhang Qing interrupted him directly.

"I heard that Clerk Song also became an outlaw,"

"So what brings you here now, seeking out us defeated generals?"

"this....."

Song Jiang looked around.

"It would be quite inconvenient to talk at the door,"

"It's better..."

Zhang Qing hesitated for a moment.

Turning his head, he glanced at Huyan Zhuo inside the room.

Seeing General Huyan nod,

Only then did they move aside to clear the space in front of the door.

"You all stay outside and keep watch,"

After Song Jiang finished giving instructions to his two henchmen,

He hurriedly stepped into the house.

As soon as I walked in,

He then met a middle-aged man who had been living for over a year.

A man with an imposing presence.

He was sitting in the main seat.

He hurried forward.

Bow respectfully in greeting.

"I am Song Jiang, a former official of Yuncheng County. I have met General Huyan."

"Enough. I am now just a defeated general. Why must you bow like this?"

Huyan Zhuo frowned and said,

"Besides, didn't Supervisor Zhang say you've also joined the outlaws?"

"Then why even mention that county official?"

"this....."

Song Jiang gave an awkward smile.

He was obsessed with his official career.

But because there was no hope of passing the imperial examinations...

After more than ten years of hard work and scheming,

He had only recently become a minor clerk in Yuncheng County.

Thinking of this, Huyan Zhuo, despite facing defeat at Liangshan...

Chapter 788 The Persuader

But nowadays, they are still government troops and generals.

Song Jiang then revealed his original official position.

They started using bureaucratic jargon.

To everyone's surprise, Huyan Zhuo didn't care at all.

The timely rain was naturally extremely embarrassed.

But fortunately, he's managed to stay in the public sector for so many years...

Song Jiang had long since developed an incredibly thick skin.

He straightened up as if nothing had happened.

Then they heard Huyan Zhuo ask,

"What brings you here, you scoundrel?"

"General Huyan, I have come here to show you the way,"

Song Jiang cupped his hands in greeting.

"General, do you know that the Liangshan troops are currently searching and capturing you two around this marshland?"

"Hmph, what's so strange about that?"

Huyan Zhuo snorted coldly.

"General, you are unaware of this,"

Seeing Huyan Zhuo's impatient expression,

Song Jiang hurriedly said,

"Then the Liangshan general, filled with resentment, led the imperial army to besiege and annihilate them."

"The order has been given; once the two are found,"

"He was immediately beheaded, his body chopped into mincemeat, and his head sent to be displayed throughout Shandong!"

“Bandits! It’s not surprising that they would do such a thing,”

Huyan Zhuo said angrily,

"Although we have suffered a defeat this time, the imperial court will certainly not tolerate a force like Liangshan,"

"I'm afraid it won't be long before another large army comes to conquer them."

"I'll just wait for those bandits in the underworld!"

"This, Clerk Song, where did you get this information from?"

Zhang Qing, who was standing nearby, asked in bewilderment,

"Although my Dongchang Prefecture is quite far from the marshland,"

"But over the past six months, I've kept hearing people talk about it,"

"That leader of Liangshan was a generous and magnanimous man,"

"Those punished by Liangshan were mostly wealthy and powerful families in the countryside who had committed crimes,"

"I have never heard of the Liangshan chieftain being so cruel and murderous."

"Aren't all the bandits and outlaws in the world the same?"

Huyan Zhuo said nonchalantly,

"Nine out of ten of those so-called heroes of the greenwood are nothing but charlatans who steal fame and fortune."

"General Huyan is right,"

Song Jiang immediately agreed.

"In my humble opinion, this is how Liangshan treated the two of them,"

"Actually, it's to make an example of someone,"

"Using the deaths of these two men to intimidate the rest of Shandong,"

"So that other places will not dare to rebel against Liangshan again!"

"Can....."

Zhang Qing wanted to say something more.

Huyan Zhuo, however, was already impatient and said,

"Alright, Song Jiang, you've said enough,"

"Please speak frankly about your purpose in coming here."

"Since the general has asked, then I will no longer conceal anything,"

Song Jiang smiled slightly.
