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

Li Shishi looked helpless: "She only got drunk after she came to my place. In my opinion, Sister Qiongying obviously has something on her mind, which is why she thought of drowning her sorrows in alcohol."

At this moment, the already drunk girl suddenly began to sob.

He mumbled, "Father, Mother..."

"It seems that Qiongying is homesick,"

Li Shishi embraced Qiongying with pity.

The girl immediately hugged her and buried her head in Li Shishi's arms, crying.

De Chunmei, standing to the side, asked in surprise, "Since Sister Qiongying misses home, why doesn't she go back? Isn't she still a princess?"

"This is indeed strange,"

Li Shishi looked at the man beside her: "Does Dalang know the reason?"

Zhao Yuan was certainly aware of this.

But this was a secret that Qiong Ying had kept.

Since she didn't speak, Zhao Yuan naturally didn't say anything more.

They could only shake their heads and pretend they didn't know.

Qiongying cried for a while, then fell soundly asleep.

However, his hands were still tightly wrapped around Li Shishi's slender waist.

Li Shishi felt helpless, but didn't want to wake her up.

So all they could do was cover Qiongying with a thick cloak.

She let the girl sleep soundly on her lap.

“By the way, Shishi, I might have to go to Cangzhou in a couple of days,” Zhao Yuan said.

"What is Dalang going to Cangzhou for all of a sudden?"

Li Shishi asked doubtfully, "But do you know anyone there?"

"Does Shishi know the origin of Liangshan?"

Zhao Yuan took a sip of wine and asked with a light laugh.

"My lord, wasn't Liangshan built by Wang Lun?"

De Chunmei interjected, "Could there be some historical allusion in this?"

"Wang Lun was a mere scholar who failed the imperial examinations; he was neither good at literature nor martial arts. Without anyone's help, how could he have built such a foundation as Liangshan?"

Zhao Yuan explained with a smile, "In Cangzhou, there is a man who is extremely famous among the outlaws and bandits. He is known as Little Whirlwind Chai Jin, the Master Chai."

"This Master Chai is generous and righteous, and he has always liked to befriend heroes of the martial arts world and help down-on-his-luck chivalrous people. People from all walks of life have benefited from his kindness."

"It was with his financial support that Wang Lun was able to come to Liangshan to join the outlaws and establish the Liangshan stronghold."

"Now that I have seized this stronghold, although it is aboveboard, I still need to go and see this Master Chai and explain things to him."

"Master Chai, your surname is Chai..."

Li Shishi asked in surprise, "Could it be a descendant of the Later Zhou royal family?"

“Exactly,” Zhao Yuan nodded.

Li Shishi then said with a strange expression,

"It seems that this Master Chai still harbors resentment towards Song Ting, but his actions will only bring trouble upon himself sooner or later."

It's more than just having anger in one's chest.

Chai Jin made friends with outlaws everywhere, and anyone who was a criminal in the Song court...

When you arrive at his place, you'll be treated to fine wine and meat.

He may not have harbored rebellious intentions, but he clearly loathed Song Ting.

That's why they go to great lengths to disgust the imperial court and government officials.

“Sister, didn’t the Chai family claim to have an iron certificate of merit? It seems that this Master Chai is only able to act so recklessly because of this certificate,” Chunmei said.

Li Shishi chuckled and said, "Silly sister, the imperial edict and iron scroll are only a life-saving item if the emperor recognizes them; otherwise, they are nothing more than a death warrant."

Seeing that Chunmei was still a little confused,

Li Shishi didn't explain, but looked at Zhao Yuan and asked, "How long will it take for you to leave, my lord?"

"It will take at least a month from start to finish,"

After Zhao Yuan finished speaking casually, he asked in surprise, "Shishi, aren't you coming with me?"

"My lord is going to do something important, what am I supposed to do by following him?"

Li Shishi lowered her head and said, "I am weak. If I fall ill again while traveling in this cold winter, wouldn't that be a burden to you, Dalang? I don't want to trouble you to fight tigers for me again!"

"Fool, how is that causing trouble?"

Zhao Yuan gently stroked Li Shishi's face: "Although we are not married, we are already one. Saving your life is saving my life. Saving yourself is not a burden."

"Big Brother..."

Li Shishi was moved and instinctively moved closer.

Seeing this, Chunmei blushed and turned her back.

Zhao Yuan was also deeply moved, recalling the days he and Li Shishi spent traveling together after leaving Tokyo.

He couldn't help but kiss those red lips.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the two got close,

Suddenly, Qiongying muttered, "It's so crowded, I can't breathe!"

Li Shishi then realized that she had accidentally pressed down on Qiongying, who was lying on her lap, and quickly sat up straight.

Zhao Yuan pursed his lips regretfully, while Chunmei covered her mouth and chuckled to herself.

Disturbed by Qiongying's (nodding) greeting, Li Shishi was reminded of something.

"Who will accompany you on this journey, young master?"

Zhao Yuan thought for a moment and said, "I don't know that Master Chai, but Instructor Lin has a past with him, so Instructor Lin will come with me on this trip, and Brother Xiao Qi will also be helping along the way."

"In that case, why don't you bring Qiongying along too, Dalang?"

Li Shishi advised, "She has something on her mind. Instead of staying cooped up on Liangshan Mountain, she should go out for a walk to clear her head. Perhaps that will help relieve her worries."

Should we take Qiongying to Cangzhou?

Although Zhao Yuan was somewhat surprised, he did not refuse the shop.

Although Qiongying was a woman, her personality was as forthright as a man's.

Zhao Yuan always treated her like a younger sister.

Taking her out for a walk now, so she doesn't dwell on hatred all day, is not a bad idea.

Zhao Yuan and Li Shishi had discussed the matter.

But no one noticed,

Qiongying, who was lying on Li Shishi's lap, suddenly pouted.

His lips moved slightly, as if to say,

Anyone want to go together?

Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiends Diagram

New Year's Eve had passed, and it was the day before we descended the mountain.

Zhao Yuan opened the Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiends Diagram, which was given to him by the system at the start of the game.

Instantly, a dark night sky appeared in my mind.

There was no moon in the starry sky.

Only the stars scattered in all directions radiate light.

The brightest star in the very center, surrounded by other stars, is Zhao Yuan's main star.

Ziwei Emperor Star!

Right next to the main star are thirty-six celestial stars with slightly weaker light!

On the outer side are seventy-two Earthly Fiends whose light is slightly dimmer!

Zhao Yuan had been busy the past few days.

I almost forgot I even had this Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiends Diagram!

Looking at the countless stars in my mind,

Zhao Yuan focused his consciousness on a celestial star.

I immediately received a system notification.

"Tiankui Star, without a master."

I changed it again, and it was still the same.

"Tianxiong Star, ownerless."

Unclaimed? Does that mean I have to choose a star master for them?

Zhao Yuan thought for a moment and found the Lone Star among the Heavenly Stars.

Then silently recite Lu Zhishen's name in your heart.

"The system has detected that the host intends to make Lu Zhishen, the Flower Monk, the master of the Heavenly Lone Star. Are you sure you want to confirm?"

"Note: Only those whose loyalty passes the test can be granted the position of Star Lord!"

"Note: Once the position of Star Lord is granted, the Star Lord will be absolutely loyal to the Ziwei Emperor Star until death."

997 "Note: Once the Star Lord is confirmed, he/she cannot be replaced unless he/she dies."

In the original Water Margin world, Lu Zhishen was the Lone Star.

Now that he is Zhao Yuan's brother, his loyalty to him is beyond doubt.

Zhao Yuan immediately nodded.

"Sure!"

"The Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends Chart has been updated to include one more Heavenly Gang Star Lord: Lu Zhishen, the Lone Star Monk!"

Once Zhao Yuan focused his consciousness on Tian Gu Xing again,

The once lifeless stars suddenly seemed to come alive.

It gives people a feeling of vitality.

Even the starlight seemed to have gained a touch of vitality.

The system feedback Zhao Yuan received was also different.

"The Lone Star of Heaven, Lu Zhishen the Flowery Monk!"

After this sentence is finished,

Zhao Yuan waited for a long time, but still didn't hear any other system notifications!

That's it? Zhao Yuan was stunned.

"System, after being granted the position of Star Lord, are there any bonuses?"

"After the host grants the position of Star Lord, as the Star Lord performs meritorious service, he/she will gradually gain bonuses in terms of martial prowess, intelligence, and leadership, and at the same time awaken the Star Lord characteristics."

"Lu Zhishen, the Flower Monk of the Heavenly Lone Star, has just been granted the position of Star Lord and has not yet made any contributions, so his bonus is zero."

You have to perform meritorious service to get the bonus!

Zhao Yuan was immediately filled with regret. If only he had known better a few days ago…

They then bestowed upon Lu Zhishen and his companions the title of Star Lord.

In that case, this attack on Xixi Village,
