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

"Our original purpose in coming south was to buy some timber for shipbuilding,"

"Recruit one or two craftsmen who know how to build ships,"

"But in the rumors of that Ming Cult,"

"Our Liangshan has become a demon king who desires to annex the outlaws of Jiangnan!"

"Since Fang La dared to say that,"

"If our Liangshan doesn't react at all,"

"Wouldn't that be a complete waste of the momentum he built for Liangshan!"

"Besides, there's also the matter of Ye Chun,"

"Anyway, we'll have to break ties with the Ming Cult sooner or later,"

"Then let's make our move sooner and seize the initiative!"

"Does brother intend to use tonight's battle to intimidate the bandits of Jiangnan?"

Ruan Xiaoer reminded him,

"But the Ming Cult will definitely send troops afterward..."

"After tonight's battle,"

Zhao Yuan chuckled somewhat shamelessly.

"Let's take a boat to Mingzhou right away!"

"When Fang La finds out about this and sends troops over again,"

"We've already met up with Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi in Mingzhou,"

"Even if the Ming Cult pursuers arrive by then,"

"What do we have to fear!"

"Perhaps it's a good opportunity to take advantage of the fact that all the bandits from Jiangnan have gone to Mingzhou,"

"We've fought the Ming Cult, so these heroes of Jiangnan won't only know how powerful the Ming Cult is, but also be unaware of the prestige of our Liangshan..."

Chapter 1205 The Pursuit

Following the directions given by the old boatman of Taihu Lake...

The Four Dragons of Zhejiang, with three hundred henchmen...

Regardless of the darkness of night,

They followed the official road, searching for the trail of the group of northern medicinal herb merchants.

"Brother, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

The most obese of them all, Chongbo Longqiao, was panting heavily.

"We've been chasing them for almost two hours now,"

"But we haven't seen a single person!"

"this....."

Jade Claw Dragon Cheng Gui looked at Earth Playing Pearl Dragon Xie Fu beside him.

He was also a little unsure.

"Don't worry, brother, it can't be wrong."

Xie Fu, the dragon playing with a pearl, pointed to the horse manure that had fallen on the ground.

“Look at all this horse manure on the ground,”

"We southerners are used to doing business by boat,"

"Even though there are horse-drawn carriages, there aren't many."

"But the abundance of fresh horse manure on the road clearly indicates that many horse-drawn carriages gathered together and passed by, leaving behind these manures."

"Much of this horse manure is still warm,"

"I think those herbal medicine merchants aren't too far from us."

"That's good!"

Jade Claw Dragon Cheng Gui gritted his teeth.

"Let the younger ones work even harder!"

"As long as we catch up with this group of herbal medicine merchants and bring Ye Chun back!"

"After we return to the stronghold, each of us will be rewarded with twenty strings of cash!"

Upon hearing the reward,

The henchmen, who were originally panting and exhausted, were now staggering around.

They all perked up immediately.

Run forward with all your might!

Jinlinlong Zhai Yuan watched this scene.

But he frowned.

I couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"What's wrong, third brother?"

Xie Fu asked the dragon playing with the pearl.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Second Brother, I think we should let the men rest for a bit before continuing the pursuit,"

Jinlinlong Zhai Yuan suggested,

"When my fourth brother and I boarded that herbal medicine merchant's ship before,"

"His retinue consisted entirely of tall, burly men from the north."

“Now, that fellow clearly knows that Ye Chun is one of our men,”

"Yet they still dared to rescue him!"

"Such a person is definitely not an ordinary person."

"Should we rashly chase after them now?"

“The henchmen are all exhausted.”

"What if we can't win..."

"Can't beat it?"

Xie Fu, the dragon playing with a pearl, chuckled.

"Third brother, you're overthinking it!"

"We've brought over three hundred henchmen with us this time!"

"And what about that group of medicinal herb merchants? There are at most a hundred of them!"

"Even if they are all tall, strong men from the North,"

"But how can ordinary people compare to us, the underlings who are always fighting!"

"Not to mention that we have three times the manpower of them!"

"besides,"

Xie Fu, the dragon playing with a pearl, explained,

"The reason we're pursuing them so closely,"

"We need to catch this group off guard!"

"Then Ye Chun must already be involved in our affairs,"

"I told this herbal medicine merchant everything!"

"They fled the camp overnight,"

"They're obviously afraid of being caught by us!"

"If we rest now,"

"Trying to catch up with them now will only take more time!"

"But....."

Jinlinlong Zhai Yuan wanted to say something more.

Xie Fu, who was playing with a pearl, immediately interrupted.

"Stop thinking about other things."

"The most important thing right now,"

"It's about getting back that Ye Chun!"

"Otherwise, what about Sect Leader Fang?"

"They will absolutely not let our Zhejiang Four Dragons go!"

Looking at Xie Fu, who was playing the role of the dragon, his face was filled with coldness.

Listening to his warning,

Jinlinlong Zhai Yuan could only nod hastily.

"Don't worry, Second Brother,"

"Since Ye Chun was lost by me and my fourth brother,"

"The two of us will definitely bring him back!"

.....

Following the official road,

Dongting Mountain, one of the four dragons of Zhejiang

With over three hundred henchmen,

They walked forward for another half an hour.

The night road was dark.

To avoid getting lost,

Nearly half of the three hundred-plus henchmen were carrying torches.

While these henchmen were focused on getting on their way...

They caught up with the group of medicinal herb merchants from the north.

When they returned to the camp and received the reward promised by the Four Dragons of Zhejiang,

Suddenly, a hail of arrows shot out from the forests on both sides of the official road.

Caught off guard,

Immediately, thirty or forty henchmen fell to the ground, howling in pain!

"No, there's an ambush!"

Jade Claw Dragon Cheng Gui immediately shouted,

"Watch out for hidden arrows from both sides!"

His loud reminder,

Ultimately, it couldn't keep up with the speed of the rain of arrows.

quickly,
