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

Sun Li, Sun Xin, Gu Dasao, and Le He each packed their belongings.

Because they were worried that the more than two hundred henchmen in the mountain stronghold would refuse to follow them.

The four of them alone would inevitably appear weak and outnumbered.

Being looked down upon by Qingfeng Mountain

Sun Li then simply set a fire.

The stronghold on Dengyun Mountain was burned to the ground...

Chapter 968 Ascending to the Clouds

The mountain stronghold was burned down.

The henchmen of Dengyun Mountain,

Even if you are impatient,

They could only follow Sun Li and the others.

Let's head to Dengyun Mountain in Qingzhou together!

.....

Not long after Sun Li and the others left,

Zhao Yuan, along with Liu Huiniang and Chen Liqing,

There was also Jiao Ting and three or five personal guards.

We also arrived at the foot of Dengyun Mountain.

This return to Dengzhou

Time is not urgent.

after all,

Even the Dengzhou navy,

They left spies in Dengzhou.

Wait for news to come back.

The navy returned by boat.

It always takes time.

Zhao Yuan then wanted to take advantage of this time,

Wandering around various parts of Dengzhou,

while walking,

They then arrived at the foot of Dengyun Mountain.

Thinking of Zou Run and his nephew Zou Yuan,

The Dengyun Mountain stronghold has already been given to Sun Li and his group to live in.

Although these four men were unwilling to join Liangshan,

But he was, after all, a well-known hero of Dengzhou.

Zhao Yuan then wanted to go up the mountain to take a look.

Let me see it.

That Luan Tingyu got a junior brother,

Sun Li is capable!

.....

After asking the villagers for directions to Dengyun Mountain,

Zhao Yuan and others,

It's like sightseeing and enjoying nature.

Slowly ascending the mountain path,

It was already late autumn.

Leaves fell from the trees all over the mountain.

Only a hazy yellow light remained.

Although it looks desolate and dilapidated

But it has a unique charm.

Among the crowd,

Besides Liu Huiniang

They were all martial arts practitioners.

Climbing mountains and wading through rivers,

It's naturally not a difficult task.

Only Liu Huiniang,

Although intelligent,

But she was truly a weak woman.

When I returned to Dengzhou before,

Zhao Yuan even found her a little donkey.

Used for riding.

but now,

Walking on the mountain path,

That little donkey wasn't doing so well.

After the female Zhuge Liang descended to the ground...

Not long after they left,

She rubbed her ankle with a look of grievance on her face.

It was obvious that they couldn't walk.

Zhao Yuan had no choice.

You can only squat down.

He carried it on his back!

"Thank you so much, brother!"

In front of Zhao Yuan,

Liu Huiniang never cared about the difference between men and women.

With a joyful expression, he climbed onto Zhao Yuan's back.

"My sister Qiongying was bragging to me about it last time,"

"My older brother carried her on his back last time."

"It's my turn now."

"What's the point of arguing about something like this?"

Zhao Yuan chuckled.

"It's a matter concerning our daughter,"

Liu Huiniang wrapped her arms around Zhao Yuan's neck from behind.

He said with a smile,

"Brother, you don't understand!"

"Don't believe me? Look at my cousin next to me,"

"She's hoping that you'll carry her on your back just once, big brother."

Zhao Yuan subconsciously turned around to look at Chen Liqing.

The female guard immediately blushed.

He hurriedly waved his hands in explanation.

"I didn't! Don't listen to Ah Xiu's nonsense!"

"I'm not talking nonsense,"

Liu Huiniang teased,

"Who was that looking at me with such envy just now!"

"You little rascal, I'm going to pinch your mouth!"

Chen Liqing was furious and embarrassed.

He raised his hand, intending to teach his cousin a lesson.

Liu Huiniang naturally dodged and weaved.

He patted Zhao Yuan with a smile.

"Brother Zhao, let's go!"

My cousin is angry!

.....

Amidst joyful laughter and merriment,

The group spent more than an hour.

We finally arrived at the top of Dengyun Mountain.

What comes into view is...

But it was not a bandit stronghold.

Instead, it was a scene of ruins.

"How...how could this be?"

Chen Liqing asked in surprise,

"Have we gone to the wrong place?"

"There's only one path leading up and down Mount Dengyun,"

Liu Huiniang got off Zhao Yuan.

"How could I possibly have gone to the wrong place..."

Chapter 969 Who did it?

The female strategist walked around the village, which had been reduced to ashes.

He squatted down again.

He reached out and touched the beams and pillars, which were already blackened by the fire.

Then he turned to Zhao Yuan and said...

"Brother, the middle of this pillar is still warm."

"It seems that this village was most likely set on fire yesterday."

"But how could this village have been burned down when it was perfectly fine?"
