Volume 3: The world is in turmoil, and the undercurrent continues Chapter 397: Return to the Mountain
Just when Cao Rongsheng was familiar with Liangshan's affairs, Zhu Wu and others were finally able to take a breather. Looking at the time, it was already past noon, and everyone was hungry. Many people ate a few mouthfuls of dry food on the boat and then fell asleep.
In the river, white waves lapped at the boat. From time to time, bursts of heat could be heard from the reeds on both sides. The more than two thousand people on the boat were silent. Occasionally, one or two moans could be heard, which was caused by the river water rushing in.
Even though the wound was fresh water, it still hurt a lot.
When the boat arrived, it was already the night of the 16th day of the first lunar month. Sister-in-law Gu and Zhang Qing caught everyone and frowned. When they left, the first batch was 800, the second batch was 2,000, and the third batch was also 2,000.
There were 5,000 soldiers and horses, but now there are less than 3,000 including the wounded. How could they have suffered such heavy losses since Zengtou City?
Yesterday it was Huang Xin's body, and now it was the dying Li Gong who was carried down. After a day and a night of tossing, this half-life was now only hanging in one breath.
"This damned bitch has caused my brother to do this. I, Zhang Qing, swear to kill his whole family." Zhang Qing gritted his teeth, held the stretcher and comforted Li Gong and said: "An Daoquan will be here soon. Brother, you have to hold on."
Li Gun's face turned pale, and he shook his head feebly. He held Zhang Qing tightly with his right hand and let out a sigh of relief. As soon as he let go of his right hand, he died. It was a pity that the Feitian Great Sage died in Liangshan.
The fallen leaves have returned to their roots.
Zhang Qing couldn't stop talking to Li Gun, but Li Gun didn't react at all. The stretcher carried Li Gun into the room. An Daoquan caught him and started resuscitating him. Zhang Qing stood there, watching the wounded being brought in around him.
In the house, those with arrows and missing arms and legs looked particularly dazzling under the moonlight.
In the Juyi Hall, the lights have already been turned on. There are more than forty people on the left and right. Except for a few empty seats, the rest are all full. In the hall, there is a dark-faced man in the middle, with a tattoo on his right forehead.
Faintly visible under the candlelight, with sharp edges and corners, clenching his right fist and placing it on the handle of the Grand Master's chair, it was none other than Song Jiang and Song Gongming, known as Timely Rain.
There is a man sitting on the left, tall and mighty, with a jade tree facing the wind, wearing common clothes but his noble temperament cannot be concealed, Hebei Jade Unicorn Lu Junyi.
The two people in the hall, one holding a feather fan, closing his eyes and meditating, the other wearing armor, with a slightly thin face, are Wu Yong, the wise star, and Qin Ming, the thunderbolt fire.
Counting the time, the afternoon should have already arrived. Everyone has had dinner, but they have waited until now, and they already have a faint feeling that something is wrong.
"Report... Chief Zhu is back..." The little guy ran in, reported and then retreated.
But just this sound made many leaders come back to their senses from their speculations. Zhu Wu was nicknamed the divine strategist. He was the most powerful think tank in Liangshanbo besides Wu Yong. He had been on this trip for five years.
Thousands of troops, ten leaders, news came during the period
Encountered trouble. As for what kind of trouble it is, it is still unknown. The layout of this matter lasted for more than half a month. Since Zhujiazhuang, he has used this to build up his momentum, and then plans Pangjiazhuang and Liujiazhuang to cover this hundred miles southwest.
Connected together, Liangshan is like a granary.
The big plan here was decided when the brothers put incense and paid homage to the emperor. Now the birth plan is even more fundamental, so Liangshan's 35,000 troops were forced to give out 5,000, and Wu Yong even used a chain plan to support it.
To prepare for emergencies, it shows how much he attaches importance to the birth plan.
Zhu Wu and Yan Qing were at the front, followed by Chai Jin, Zhang Shun, and Li Jun. Lin Chong and Wu Song were at the back as support, and Guan Sheng had already gone down to heal his injuries.
When Wu Yong saw this, he frowned and stood up. When Song Jiang saw Wu Yong getting up, he also walked down from the stage. Lu Junyi followed, but at a glance he saw Yan Qing, who looked pale.
No one looked bad, their clothes were in tatters, their hair was disheveled, their heads were gray, and they were in a very miserable state.
When Zhu Wu saw Song Jiang coming down, he knelt down and said, "Brother, Zhu Wu is incompetent. He failed to bring two brothers Huang Xin and Li Gun back alive. General Guan was also seriously injured. Please punish me..."
As he said that, Yan Qing and others also knelt down with fists clasped.
Song Jiang took a step back suddenly and shouted: "Two brothers..."
After shouting, he beat his chest and feet, with tears in his eyes. Wu Yong hurriedly stepped forward and supported Song Jiang: "My condolences, brother, people cannot be resurrected after death. We are going to hold a funeral for the two brothers now, and we must give them a generous burial."
"Yes, brother, Xiao Yi, what is going on? Not many people know about this matter, how could it get to such an extent?" Lu Junyi stepped forward and gave Song Jiang a hand.
Wu Yong also supported Zhu Wu with his hand: "Brother, get up quickly. Tell us in detail what happened, so that we can discuss how to avenge the two brothers."
At this time, Song Jiang finally regained his composure and pulled Zhu Wu up: "Brother, please wake up quickly. The three of us planned this matter personally, and no news was leaked beforehand. Please tell me quickly, what's going on?
"
"Hey, you guys are like this, what do you think Brother Zhu said?" Li Kui shouted angrily, pulled Song Jiang to the stage, pressed him on the seat, and pulled up a few people behind Zhu Wu: "I'm afraid of bird droppings.
They are all brothers, what can't be said? No matter who he is, Tieniu will kill him with just one move."
Yan Qing sighed and said, "Speaking of which, you know this man Tieniu."
Yan Qing lowered his head and spoke with a frown. Li Kui also frowned and grabbed Yan Qing: "Yan Xiaoyi, what do you mean by this? I respect you, but you want to pour this bird droppings on Tieniu, even if you can't beat you."
, I also want to gesticulate with you again."
It turns out that Yan Qing's sumo wrestling is a skill of overcoming strength with softness. Li Kui had suffered losses at the hands of Yan Qing before and knew that Yan Qing was very skilled. Normally he would not dare to do it, but if he said he knew this person,
That is to say, he might have leaked the secret, but Li Kui would not accept this kind of injustice.
As he was about to take action, he heard a "pop" sound in the hall, and Song Jiang slapped the handle of the Grand Master's chair with his palm: "Tieniu, don't you think it's messy enough? Why don't you step back quickly..."
Yan Qing is the son of Lu Junyi, the third person in charge in Liangshan, but Li Kui is Song Jiang's deceased brother. If these two people really fight in the hall, let alone the winner or lose, the two brothers in the hall will not be able to lose face.
Wu Yong also stood up and shouted: "Tieniu, didn't you hear what brother said? The plan for this matter was personally decided by me and my brother, how could the news leak out? You know the person Yan Qing said, so just listen to what Yan Qing said
Qing said what they have gone through, so what if you really know each other? Are you worried that your shadow will be distorted if you are upright? "
Wu Yong scolded Li Kui, who said that his face turned red. He looked around, but walked to the pillar and leaned on it angrily: "Just tell me, if what you said is wrong, Tieniu will not be without your axe."
The few people at the moment were also extremely speechless. This Li Kui was aggressive by nature, he was a proficient outsider, and he was a first-rate master in kung fu. He just couldn't change his temper. If he hadn't been completely devoted to Song Jiang and was 120% loyal, he wouldn't have been able to break through.
He has died countless times due to his misfortunes, so now everyone is used to saying these angry words and looks at them with a smile.
But what Zhu Wu said next, no one thought Yan Qing was joking anymore.
"Yes, not only Tieniu, but also many of the brothers here know each other. It can be said that we have met old acquaintances." Zhu Wu sighed and said.
The whole hall was in an uproar. When Zhu Wu looked at Kong Ming, an ominous premonition arose in Kong Ming's heart and he stood up slowly: "Could it be...him..."
