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

"Please, Chief Zhao, take us in and let us join you on Liangshan Mountain."

"To do my part for the people of this world."

"I heard that Sickly Yuchi went to Erlong Mountain with Song Jiang, didn't he?"

Zhao Yuan asked in confusion,

Why didn't the three of you go with him?

“Our elder brother, like Song Jiang, has long been blinded by the promise of amnesty,”

Sister-in-law Gu said helplessly.

"Back then, he was also implicated by the Xie brothers, Xie Zhen and Xie Bao,"

"That's why he lost his position as a military officer."

"Now that Song Jiang is leading the charge to seek amnesty,"

“Our elder brother is naturally hoping to rely on Song Jiang,”

"He will return to his position as a military officer."

"But none of the three of us held any official positions before,"

"I have no interest in the offer of amnesty."

"Furthermore, Song Jiang is cold-hearted,"

"He could even bring himself to harm a brother like Magistrate Hua, who had followed him for over a decade."

"If the three of us follow him,"

"I'm just afraid that things might happen in the future,"

"She was also the first one he abandoned."

"Therefore, I humbly request that Chief Zhao also grant permission for the three of us to join him on Liangshan Mountain!"

"it is good!"

Zhao Yuan immediately nodded.

"Since the three of you think so highly of me,"

"Willing to go to Liangshan together,"

"Of course I would welcome it."

"But like Master Gongsun and the others,"

"We also need to make the unpleasant points clear upfront,"

"After the three of them went to Liangshan,"

"Every move they made was subject to the rules and regulations of the Liangshan army."

"If the three of you are still willing, then we will all be brothers on Liangshan from now on."

"But if you don't want to, we can still be friends."

"Chief Zhao, please rest assured,"

Sister-in-law Gu laughed.

"Since we've said we're going to Liangshan,"

"Of course, I had already prepared myself mentally."

"That's good,"

Zhao Yuan nodded.

Then he picked up the wine bowl.

Looking at the crowd in front of him,

"I didn't expect to come here this time,"

"In the end, so many heroes were willing to join Liangshan,"

"Come on, drink this bowl of wine!"

"From now on, we're all one family!"

"it is good!"

Gongsun Sheng and the others also picked up their wine bowls.

Zhao Yuan drank it all in one gulp.

Compared to the slightly reserved atmosphere before,

Now let's all talk it out.

They have all become members of Liangshan.

Naturally, everyone was relieved.

"Chief, we've returned to Liangshan with you,"

Gongsun Sheng inquired,

"Then what should be done with the stronghold on Qingfeng Mountain?"

"Brother Zhao, should we leave some people here on Qingfeng Mountain?"

Hua Xiaomei also asked...

Chapter 1319 Setting Fire to the Mountain

"No need,"

Zhao Yuan shook his head.

"Qingzhou is too far from the marshland,"

"There's no convenient waterway here,"

"The imperial court will definitely send a large army to attack the marshland next year."

"At that time, the government troops on the Qingzhou side,"

"And then there's Song Jiang; anyone could besiege Qingfeng Mountain with their troops."

"So there's no need to keep anyone here,"

"It would be best if we all retreated to Liangshan together."

Qingfeng Village on Qingfeng Mountain

It was originally built by the three men: the fair-faced young man Zheng Tianshou, the short-legged tiger Wang Ying, and the brocade-haired tiger Yan Shun.

after that,

Wang Ying, the short-legged tiger, kidnapped the daughter of the Hu family in Hu Family Village with Zhou Tong, the little tyrant.

He was killed by Wu Song.

The remaining two are Jinmaohu Yan Shun and Baimian Langjun Zheng Tianshou.

They were following Song Jiang's orders.

Send his henchmen and lackeys.

Impersonating Qin Ming's government troops,

They went to Qingzhou to set fires and loot.

They wanted to pin the blame on Qin Ming.

Good forcing the Thunderbolt Fire to fall into the grass.

Unexpectedly, they encountered Zhao Yuan leading his troops.

Jinmaohu Yan Shun was killed directly by Zhao Yuan.

And that fair-skinned young man, Zheng Tianshou

This was because Song Jiang wanted to survive.

He stabbed him directly in the back and killed him.

After that,

Qingfeng Mountain was thus occupied by Liangshan.

However, at that time,

Because Chao Gai and his men had nowhere to go.

Zhao Yuan then temporarily lent Qingfeng Mountain to Chao Gai and the others.

After that,

That's why Chao Gai took in Song Jiang and his companions.

Therefore, regarding this Qingfeng Village...

Even those who were among the first to arrive at the mountain, such as Gongsun Sheng and Liu Tang,

There wasn't any deep affection between them.

Not to mention the Hua siblings who came later.

I learned from Zhao Yuan that

After Qingfeng Village was to be abandoned and no longer used...

Everyone then returned to their lodgings to pack their belongings.

Two days later,

On the original houses of Qingfeng Village,

They had all been doused with kerosene and strong liquor.

As Zhao Yuan dropped the torch

The entire Qingfeng Village was instantly engulfed in flames.

In the firelight

Zhao Yuan led the group,

They hauled the remaining grain from Qingfeng Mountain.

They headed towards Liangshan Marsh.

...

The fire on Qingfeng Mountain

It was quickly learned by Murong Yanda and Dong Ping, the Double-Spear General, in Qingzhou City.

"Your Excellency, I have already ascertained the situation,"

Dong Ping stepped forward and reported,

"An internal conflict has occurred on Qingfeng Mountain,"

"Song Jiang was driven out of Qingfeng Mountain,"

"They've already hidden themselves in Erlong Mountain."

"As for the fire obtained on Qingfeng Mountain,"

"It was Zhao Dalang from Liangshan who released him."

"Originally, there were many thieves on Qingfeng Mountain,"

"They've already followed that Zhao Dalang,"

"Let's go to Liangshan Marsh together."

"Hmph, this Song Jiang is truly a good-for-nothing!"
