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

Huyan Zhuo bowed and expressed his gratitude.

"Farewell!"

The soldier nodded.

Turn around and walk back to the street.

They quickly disappeared into the crowd of people.

Huyan Zhuo stood at the entrance of the courtyard.

But he hesitated.

He didn't dare to raise his hand to push open the courtyard gate.

He had no children.

There is only an elderly woman in the house.

There were also several old servants.

An elderly couple

They lived a life of mutual support and companionship.

There is a special feeling about it.

However, this campaign against Liangshan failed.

Huyan Zhuo was not only wanted by the imperial court,

His family members were also punished by the imperial court.

This made Huyan Zhuo think,

He naturally felt guilty towards his wife.

In the short term,

But they had no idea.

How should I meet him?

While Huyan Zhuo hesitated,

The courtyard gate was suddenly opened.

An old servant looked at Huyan Zhuo, who was standing at the door, with surprise.

"General, you...you're really back?"

".....Um,"

Huyan Zhuo nodded.

"In the morning, someone slipped a letter through the crack in the gate,"

The old servant was excited.

He kept rambling on and on.

"They say the general will return today."

"The lady has been waiting in the hall ever since she received the letter,"

“They would occasionally ask me to come to the gate of the yard to check on things,”

"I never expected the general to actually return."

".....Um,"

The old servant said,

Hu Yanzhuo immediately issued the question.

He hurriedly asked,

"By the way, how did you get here?"

"It was a group of kind-hearted men who helped,"

The old servant began to explain.

"Some time ago in Bianliang, news suddenly spread that the general had been defeated in his campaign against Liangshan,"

"After hearing this, the lady was restless for several days, hoping to hear news of the general as soon as possible."

"But unexpectedly, just two days later, news came again that the general had defected to Liangshan!"

"We and the lady certainly don't believe it, but those corrupt officials in the court,"

"They had already concluded that the general had become an outlaw, and had even issued a warrant for his arrest."

“They even sent people to search our house and wanted to take the lady away for interrogation as well.”

"Fortunately, at that moment, a group of men suddenly appeared,"

"They drove away the officials and their errand runners from Bianliang,"

"Then he took his wife and a few of us,"

"Having evaded capture by government troops, we arrived at Dongping Prefecture in Shandong..."

Chapter 901 Lady Huyan

"After arriving in Dongping Prefecture, the men settled my wife and us in this courtyard,"

The old servant explained,

"They also said that the general would definitely be here soon."

"After that, those men left."

We haven't seen them again.

"That's it,"

Huyan Zhuo pondered for a moment, and then...

Did they identify themselves?

"No, I don't have that."

The old servant shook his head.

"The lady and we have inquired about this before,"

"But those men never talked about their origins,"

"They only said it was because they didn't want to see General Huyan wrongly accused,"

"That's why I stepped in to help."

Upon hearing this, Huyan Zhuo

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

In one's heart,

They should be grateful to Liangshan.

It couldn't help but add another point.

original,

He thought Liangshan had saved his family.

Perhaps they will use their gratitude to force me to join the Liangshan outlaws.

but now,

Just look at those Liangshan people who saved their own children.

Surprisingly, he didn't reveal his identity to his family.

This shows that they genuinely wanted to save him.

I have never had any intention of repaying their kindness.

This,

This also relieved Huyan Zhuo of his worries.

How should I face my elderly wife at home?

After all, his wife,

Although not from a wealthy or prominent family.

However, they also came from families of generals in the Song court's army.

If they find out that I have become an outlaw,

How could Huyan Zhuo possibly have the face to face her?

"Alright, I'll go in and see Madam first,"

Huyan Zhuo gave the order,

"Go and prepare some food first."

"General, ever since I learned that you were coming back today,"

The old servant laughed.

"Madam had already instructed us to prepare the wine and dishes."

"That's good, that's good,"

Huyan Zhuo nodded.

Stepping into the courtyard,

He walked straight towards the hall.

Starting in the morning,

Lady Huyan Zhuo had been waiting in the hall.

Upon hearing footsteps in the courtyard,

He hurriedly came out to greet them.

"General, it really is you!"

"Madam, I...I'm back!"

Huyan Zhuo looked at his wife in front of him,

He gave a wry smile.

"It's all my fault for being incompetent and causing trouble for you, Madam."

"I am overjoyed that the general has returned to see me,"

Lady Huyan saw that although Huyan Zhuo did not appear to be injured,

However, his face and figure were noticeably thinner.

Obviously, these days after the defeat,

Huyan Zhuo's life was not good either.

"General, please come inside."

Lady Huyan hurriedly pulled Huyan Zhuo towards the hall.

"These dishes and wine were just reheated by me,"

"If we delay any longer, it will probably get cold again."

In the hall were Huyan Zhuo and his wife.

The other old servants had already known the situation and had withdrawn.

Let the elderly couple spend time alone together.
