Water Margin: Hu Sanniang and I swapped clothes

"Brother, you..."

Xie Zhen and Xie Bao sensed something was off about Sun Li's words and were about to press him for an answer when Sun Li lifted Xie Zhen onto his black horse!

Before Xie Zhen could react, lying face down on the back of the black horse, Sun Li lifted Xie Bao up as well!

Sun Li slapped the black horse's rump and shouted:

"How dare you steal my horse!"

"Quack quack! Quack quack!"

The black horse galloped away, its four hooves spurring it on!

Jie Zhen and Jie Bao lay side by side on the horse's back, helplessly being carried away by the black horse!

Sun Li pretended to chase after them for a few steps, then pointed at Xie Zhen and Xie Bao's departing figures and began to curse:

"You scoundrels! I'd better never see you again!"

The five hundred soldiers he led were all infantry, and he was the only one on horseback. His horse, Wuzhui, was a thoroughbred, so who could catch up with him?

Five hundred government troops chased after them for a while, making a ruckus, and returned looking disheveled to report:

"The general's horse is too fast..."

"Never mind!"

Sun Li shook his head in disappointment: "Two thieves have escaped, so we have no choice but to return to the city to report back first, and then we can discuss the matter further..."

……

Is this really true?

The prefect of Dengzhou stared wide-eyed in disbelief:

"Those two death row inmates were actually Sun Tixia's brothers?"

"How dare I speak presumptuously before you, my lord?"

Wang Kongmu smiled wryly: "The steward of the Mao family thought that Commander Sun looked very familiar, but he dared not be sure at the time!"

"Afterwards, I asked the humble officer Sun about his background, and he revealed that the two condemned prisoners had two cousins ​​whose surname was Sun!"

"Among them, one with a sallow complexion became a military officer in the prefecture; isn't that Commander Sun?"

The prefect of Dengzhou was immediately at his wit's end:

"This is just the steward's side of the story, and it may not be true."

"Even if Commander Sun really is the brother of those two condemned prisoners, what harm is there as long as he handles matters impartially?"

"I'm afraid that Commander Sun will bend the law for personal gain and let those two death row inmates go!"

Wang Kongmu grew increasingly frightened: No wonder Commander Sun's face was so grim after he learned that Xie Zhen and Xie Bao had been thrown into death row!

No wonder Commander Sun insisted on getting to the bottom of the matter!

If Commander Sun wants to avenge his two cousins, not only my father-in-law and brother-in-law, but I will also be caught in the crossfire!

"He dares?"

The prefect of Dengzhou glared at him: "If he dares to bend the law for personal gain, then don't blame me for upholding justice!"

Wang Kongmu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly flattered, "Your Excellency is wise!"

Just then, a constable came to announce, "Your Excellency, Commander Sun has returned!"

So fast?

The prefect of Dengzhou and Wang Kongmu exchanged a glance, and Wang Kongmu pressed for an answer:

"Can we bring back two death row inmates?"

Official: "I haven't seen it."

"snort!"

The prefect of Dengzhou flew into a rage and slammed his hand on the table:

"What a corrupt and lawless magistrate, Sun Tixia!"

"Guards, seize that scoundrel for me..."

"Please wait, Your Excellency!"

Wang Kongmu quickly dissuaded the prefect of Dengzhou: "I have heard that Commander Sun possesses the courage of ten thousand men, but I fear..."

The prefect of Dengzhou was even angrier: "Am I supposed to avoid his sharp edge?"

Wang Kongmu: "..."

……

The back garden of Maojiazhuang.

Grandpa Mao and Mao Zhongyi were bound hand and foot, with sacks over their heads, kneeling on the ground, tears streaming down their faces.

They were completely in the dark, not knowing where they were or what awaited them.

While rubbing the large fleshy growth on the top of his head with his large hand, Zou Run asked Sun Xin:

"Brother, why did we kidnap them from here and then bring them back here?"

Sun Xin smiled slightly: "This is called taking things by surprise."

"No one could have imagined that we would kidnap people from here and bring them back here."

After Xie Zhen and Xie Bao caused a scene, the back garden of Maojiazhuang was locked up again.

Sun Xin and his group climbed over the wall from the side near the mountain, without anyone noticing.

"It's most likely my brother who'll be coming later, so I can't show myself. You know what to do, right?"

Sun Xin glanced at Zou Run and then at Luan Tingyu, who was the actor who played the "Sick Tyrant".

"Don't worry, brother!"

Luan Tingyu patted his pectoral muscles: "They're all on us!"

Just then, the henchman who was keeping watch suddenly ran over to report the news:

"Someone has gone up the mountain!"

Sun Xin finished wrapping his face mask and was about to leave when he heard one of the henchmen say again:

"Only two people came!"

two?

Sun Xin was surprised: "Two people?"

Henchman: "The moonlight is dim, and I can't see very clearly, but I saw two figures moving about on the mountain..."

"Could it be...?"

Sun Xin's mind raced, and without hesitation, he said:

"Fire the signal arrows quickly!"

Luan Tingyu strode to the courtyard wall, which was built against the mountain, and one could see cliffs when looking up.

He reached into the flying fish bag with his left hand to take out the bow, and with his right hand he pulled an arrow from the beast-shaped jar.

Luan Tingyu nocked an arrow, drew the bowstring taut, aimed at a towering tree on a cliff, and fired. The arrow pierced the night sky with a sharp whistling sound.

"Jill—"

Although Luan Tingyu's archery skills were far inferior to those of "Little Li Guang" Hua Rong, they were still above average.

Moreover, he specifically chose a large tree that would require at least three to five people to encircle, and the arrow struck the trunk squarely!

The whistling of the whistling arrow attracted the attention of the two figures, who noticed the white cloth strip tied to it.

By the moonlight, Sun Xin looked up at the cliff and saw two figures taking off white cloth strips to examine the area.

The two figures then climbed down the cliff face.

It's amazing how these cliffs are so steep and barren, with not a single blade of grass growing on them.

The two figures, however, resembled two large geckos, climbing down the cliff face head to toe and using both hands and feet.

Luan Tingyu gripped his halberd tightly, as if facing a formidable enemy, but Sun Xin suddenly ripped off his mask:

"Don't worry, it's my brother who's coming down!"

"Only the two of them could get down that cliff!"

When they were still a foot off the ground, the two figures jumped directly from the cliff into the back garden of Maojiazhuang.

The two figures stumbled as they landed, and Sun Xin quickly rushed forward to support them.

"Watch out, bro!"

Upon seeing Sun Xin, the two figures burst into tears of joy:

"Second brother, are we dreaming?"

Having absorbed the original owner's memories, Sun Xin recognized the two figures as his cousin at a glance, even though it was their first meeting.

"Two-Headed Snake" Jie Zhen and "Two-Tailed Scorpion" Jie Bao!

"Thank you so much, Second Brother, for saving me!"

Jie Zhen and Jie Bao bowed deeply to Sun Xin, while Sun Xin's heart was in his throat:

Why are there only the two of you?

"Where is my brother?"

"My older brother..."

Jie Zhen and Jie Bao recounted Sun Li's actions one by one.

Finally, Jie Bao emphasized, "Your elder brother wants you to have many descendants for the Sun family!"

broken!

Sun Xin's heart skipped a beat:

Sun Li's words are a FLAG; it seems unlikely he'll ever get out of this...

"Walk!"

Sun Xin turned and ran in a hurry, and Luan Tingyu and Zou Run followed immediately.

After being beaten with a disciplinary rod, Jie Zhen and Jie Bao, whose legs were not functioning properly, also limped along behind.

After scaling the courtyard wall, Sun Xin didn't even bother to greet Zou Yuan, who was guarding the horses. He leaped onto his horse and rode away!
