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

Liu Menglong was bound by the armor he wore.

But he couldn't swim fast.

They had no choice but to chase after him.

He took off his military uniform and put it on.

The two swam not far in the water,

Then they saw that the fire had already spread over.

The reeds on both sides crackled and popped as they burned.

Thick smoke billowed across the water.

Before we even got close,

Then I felt the flames burning.

The flames from the burning reeds on both sides blocked the water's surface.

Ruan Xiaoer took a deep breath.

plunge into the water,

Dive forward.

Swim to the fire's edge.

The water temperature has risen a bit.

Fortunately, the reeds burned quickly.

Swam a short distance,

The reeds in front were mostly burned.

The flames weren't as big anymore.

Ruan Xiaoer would occasionally surface to catch his breath.

The water surface was covered only with ash from the burning reeds.

Ruan Xiaoer only went up there occasionally to get some fresh air.

It is still submerged in water.

Ruan Xiaoer turned his head occasionally,

But Liu Menglong had already caught up to him, within four or five feet of him.

All of his armor had been removed.

Liu Menglong originally intended to take advantage of Ruan Xiaoer's unpreparedness.

Chase after him and capture the thief who led him into this perilous place.

Now we see that Ruan Xiaoer discovered,

They then gave it their all to catch up.

Chapter 1655 Is it shameful?

Ruan Xiaoer noticed that Liu Menglong's speed had increased dramatically.

He also became competitive.

It darted forward like a flying fish.

The two chased and fled.

Soon,

They then emerged from the reeds.

As Liu Menglong was giving chase,

Suddenly, dozens of large Liang warships were seen lined up on the water.

He was taken aback.

He turned and ran away.

Zhang Shun, nicknamed "White Streak in the Waves," had already spotted the two men swimming towards him from the bow of the boat.

Seeing Liu Menglong trying to escape,

He plunged into the water with a single dive.

Ruan Xiaoer saw Liu Menglong trying to escape,

He turned back and chased after them.

Liu Menglong hadn't escaped very far,

Zhang Shun caught up with them.

He hugged her around the waist.

Ruan Xiaoer also caught up.

The two of them worked together to pull Liu Menglong out of the water.

A speedboat sped up.

Pull the three of them onto the boat.

Two online trolls tied Liu Menglong up tightly.

Zhang Shun wrung out the water from his clothes.

Looking at Liu Menglong,

"Who is this fellow? His surname is Shui, which is quite fitting."

Ruan Xiaoer laughed and said, "This fellow is Liu Menglong, the commander leading the troops this time."

"My surname is similar to Shui's,"

"Only you and Xiao Qi can catch him in the water."

Liu Menglong snorted coldly.

He looked around at the warships with disdain.

"If it weren't for your trickery,"

"With your shabby ships like this,"

"I can wipe you out with the flick of my finger."

Ruan Xiaoer, however, was the naval commander appointed by Zhao Yuan. Upon hearing this, he smiled and said...

"If war were only about who had the better weapons,"

"Then the Song Dynasty should have destroyed the Liao and Western Xia long ago."

"I think you're a good man too,"

"If you are willing to submit to my Great Liang,"

"I guarantee you'll become a leader of an online troll army."

Zhang Shun also said, "I, Zhang Shun, grew up by the Xunyang River."

"We're practically from the same village, we both drink from the same river."

"As you've seen, the most frequent vessels traveling on the Yangtze River these past few years have been those transporting precious stones and other valuables,"

"The Song Dynasty has lost the hearts of the people; now it is a time for heroes to vie for power."

"When we rise up, when General Liu arrives,"

"I suppose the Jiangnan region is already engulfed in flames of war?"

Liu Menglong learned that Zhang Shun was also from Changjiang Township.

His complexion also softened a bit.

"The people of Jiangnan have suffered greatly from the tribute of rare stones and flowers in recent years,"

"Fang La used the pretext of eliminating Zhu Mian,"

"But it gathered a large number of people."

"However, when I went north, Chancellor Tong had already led 200,000 Western troops south,"

"I'm afraid Fang La won't be able to cause trouble for very long."

Zhang Shun laughed and said, "The Manichaeism has gathered many heroes from Jiangnan."

"Tong Guan's army has already fought several battles with the Manichaeans,"

"But they had their share of wins and losses."

"Fang La, on the contrary, captured Wuzhou and Quzhou,"

"Our spies in Daliang have just received news,"

"Emperor Huizong issued an edict intending to pacify Fang La,"

"It is clear that Tong Guan did not gain the upper hand in Jiangnan."

Liu Menglong, however, had not yet learned of this news.

Hearing this, he was taken aback.

Ruan Xiaoer said, "If General Liu hasn't made up his mind yet,"

"Please go and rest in the cabin first,"

"The fire has already spread inside,"

"We should go with the fire,"

"Rescue your men."

Upon hearing this, Liu Menglong

I also felt embarrassed.

The responsibility for this defeat can be entirely attributed to him.

Chapter 1656 Surrender

Fortunately, the soldiers under his command all had the surname Shui, which was quite good.

They should all be able to escape from the water.

Unfortunately, all those warships were destroyed.

Liu Menglong thought for a moment.

"I am willing to submit to the Great Liang,"

"Please do your best to rescue my soldiers."

Ruan Xiaoer saw that Liu Menglong was willing to surrender.

It was also a great joy.

They immediately ordered the flares to be fired again.

The warships that had been lying in ambush on all sides then moved toward the center.

On the left were Li Jun, Tong Wei, and Tong Meng.

On the right is Zhang Heng, the boatman.

Next up is Ruan Xiaoqi.

Ruan Xiaoqi, however, led his troops in ambush in the reeds.

After Liu Menglong's army entered the reed marshes,
