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

"The warships of Liangshan are currently off the coast of Mingzhou,"

"Brother Lu, you're so powerful, why don't you go and cause trouble for Liangshan?"

"I'm busy right now, is that not allowed?"

"Heh, to put it bluntly, isn't it just that you lack guts?"

"Sigh, no wonder the Liangshan heroes look down on the heroes of Jiangnan."

"What do you mean by that? When did Liangshan ever look down on us?"

"You still don't know? That Liangshan chieftain, Zhao Dalang of Dongjing, said back then..."

"The people of Jiangnan are all cowards,"

"Each one is more spineless than the last!"

"With just a little movement of his troops, Liangshan can make Jiangnan surrender at the mere sight of them."

"Where did you hear that? How come we have no idea?"

"Hmph, those words came from the north,"

"You'll probably hear it in a couple of days,"

"Otherwise, do you think Liangshan got the warships?"

"Why is it anchored off the coast of Minnesota?"

"Isn't it all about wanting to seize control of Dezhou Prefecture in Jiangnan?"

"But if it's really as you say,"

The door to the private room on the second floor opened.

Zhao Yuan stood in front of the railing,

He asked expressionlessly.

"The Liangshan bandits intended to seize Dezhou Prefecture in Jiangnan..."

Chapter 1218 Provocation

"Then why are their warships still anchored off the coast of Mingzhou?"

Zhao Yuan addressed the man who kept insisting that Liangshan was a place for only the strong.

He asked,

"As far as I know, the Liangshan warships have been in Mingzhou for over a month."

"If Liangshan truly has ambitions for Jiangnan, why hasn't it made a single move?"

Upon hearing him ask that question,

The other bandits in the lobby,

They all realized it immediately.

"That's right, if Liangshan really wants to take over our Jiangnan region,"

"Shouldn't we have been able to make a move a long time ago?"

"Why would they still stay obediently off the coast of Mingzhou?"

"In military campaigns, the key is to strike unexpectedly,"

"If Liangshan really intends to make a move,"

"When I first arrived in Jiangnan,"

"They should have already led their troops to attack Mingzhou City,"

"It shouldn't have been delayed until now!"

.....

Faced with increasing questions,

The man was clearly flustered.

"Who said Liangshan hasn't made any moves?"

"Didn't they have a major battle with the government's navy before?"

"But the government struck first,"

Zhao Yuan sneered.

"What, you mean,"

"Faced with the government's naval forces encircling and suppressing them,"

"Then Liangshan shouldn't have taken action?"

"Hmph, just who are you, bastard?"

"Why are you siding with the government?"

"You scoundrel, are you perhaps a spy for the government?"

"Have you come to this Wanghai Tower to gather information?"

"You, you scoundrel, don't you dare spout such nonsense!"

The man immediately retorted angrily.

"How...how did I become someone in the government?"

"Aren't you?"

Zhao Yuan snorted coldly.

"You just started making provocative remarks,"

"It's obvious they want all the outlaws here,"

"Let's make an enemy of Liangshan and have a great battle!"

"Everyone, please speak up,"

"Now, in Jiangnan,"

"Is it the government that most wants the bandits of Jiangnan to fight against Liangshan?"

"At that time, Liangshan and the outlaws of Jiangnan will fight to the death,"

"Wouldn't the government just be able to get away with this?"

"yes,"

Someone immediately nodded in agreement.

"This guy's identity is definitely suspicious!"

"Our Green Forest Gathering this time,"

"Everyone gets together because they want to have some fun,"

"And while we're at it, let's see what the purpose is of those Liangshan warships heading south?"

"The situation is still unclear,"

"This scoundrel is trying to sow discord between us and Liangshan."

Isn't it obvious that they have ulterior motives?

"You are all right!"

Zhao Yuan knew someone, and Pang Wanchun also came out from a private room next door.

He first looked at Zhao Yuan,

He then spoke loudly to the men in the hall.

"I am Pang Wanchun from Siming Mountain,"

"My Siming Mountain is a gateway for those from the north to the south,"

"Any news from the north will always reach my Siming Mountain first."

"Then why do you say that, you scoundrel?"

"The news is that the Liangshan chieftain looks down on Jiangnan and is planning to march south,"

"Why haven't I heard of it?"

"this....."

The man was being interrogated by so many people.

He was immediately covered in sweat.

His face turned pale.

"Actually..."

Before he could finish speaking,

The man turned his head.

He then rushed out of the restaurant...

Chapter 1219 Each Person's Thoughts

"This kid wants to run away!"

"Catch him now!"

"stop!"

.....

In the lobby on the first floor were bandits.

They immediately gave chase to the panicked man.

"Brother, these past two days in Mingzhou City,"

Ruan Xiaowu said in a low voice,

"We often hear similar remarks that try to sow discord between Liangshan and the outlaws of Jiangnan,"

"Could it really be the government's doing?"

"Those good-for-nothing officials,"

Zhao Yuan sneered.

"How could someone possibly do such a thing?"

"They're busy plundering the people's money,"

"Then how can you have time to worry about other things?"

"So, what does my brother mean?"

Ruan Xiaowu asked in surprise.

"This matter is most likely related to the Ming Cult,"

Zhao Yuan said in a deep voice,

"Didn't you say that before?"

"The owner behind this Wanghai Tower is a member of the Ming Cult,"

"Given the power of the Ming Cult, if the government were to gain control,"

"How could we not have noticed?"

“That’s true…”

Ruan Xiaowu nodded in agreement.
