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

These bandits were also in dire straits.

They were all dressed in tattered clothes.

The weapon in his hand was also in a terrible state.

Emperor Huizong of Song also possessed a modified kitchen knife, a type of broadsword.

He found himself blocked from both sides.

He immediately picked up the broadsword... threw it away, knelt down, and shouted,

"Hero, spare your life!"

A bandit approached.

They snatched Emperor Huizong's bundle.

She kicked him to the ground.

His eyes lit up and he pulled out a copper coin.

"It's good money, not cheap cash worth ten times its face value."

"Get out of here!" said another bandit.

Emperor Huizong of Song was granted a general amnesty.

They scrambled and crawled forward.

"Wait!"

Another bandit shouted.

Emperor Huizong dared not run away again.

Stand obediently and await your fate.

He was too weak from days of travel.

It can't run fast at all.

If you disobey, you may be caught and killed.

The bandit looked around.

"Judging from your accent, you're not a local?"

Emperor Huizong of Song bought meals and chatted with people along the way.

They also needed to ask for directions along the way.

I'm already familiar with the local dialect.

I can roughly understand what they say, but I can't speak it myself.

He could only try his best to imitate it.

"My hometown is in Huainan."

Chapter 1795 Let's Rebel Together

"Where did you say you're from?"

The bandit couldn't understand.

Huainan.

Emperor Huizong repeated.

The bandit still only half understood what he was hearing.

He grabbed Emperor Huizong's thin arm and muttered to himself,

"She's fair-skinned and delicate; she's probably good at writing and arithmetic."

"The chieftain will surely like it."

"Take him back to the mountain stronghold!"

"Spare me! Hero, spare me..."

Emperor Huizong of Song was terrified.

I regret not wearing tattered clothes.

This is the northern mountainous area of ​​Longyou County.

Although the "Longyou Merchant Guild" had not yet been formed,

However, its geographical conditions destined it to be frequented by many merchants in the past.

With more traveling merchants, there are naturally more bandits!

The chieftain was a young man named Xue Su.

He robbed what was his family's traditional trade.

He had only been the eldest son for a few years, having inherited his father's business.

Upon meeting Emperor Huizong of Song,

Xue Su actually clasped his hands and said,

"I'm sorry to have disturbed you, sir."

Emperor Huizong bowed in return, saying, "I dare not."

Xue Su said, "Although you are covered in dust, sir,"

"His demeanor, however, resembled that of a scholar."

"To be honest, sir, I have also studied the classics,"

He had great respect for scholars throughout the world.

"Easy to say, easy to say."

Emperor Huizong of Song couldn't figure out what the other party was thinking.

Xue Su shouted, "Quickly, bring my mother here!"

A short while later, a woman dressed in silk appeared.

He bowed respectfully to Emperor Huizong of Song.

"May you be blessed, sir. I am but a humble servant, surnamed Zeng."

"Greetings, madam."

Emperor Huizong dared not look at it for long.

They were afraid of angering the bandit leader.

Xue Su ordered his men to kill a chicken and prepare wine.

Prepare to entertain guests.

Zeng also personally tended the stove to brew tea and inquired about its preparation.

"May I ask where your immortal abode is, sir?"

Emperor Huizong of Song had already memorized his lines.

"My ancestral home is in the Huai River region,"

"He was sent to Tokyo to await a vacancy due to his influence,"

He was over forty years old when he finally got a minor official position.

"That tyrannical emperor fled south last year,"

"I also followed along without really understanding what was going on,"

"They specifically collected ships for the treacherous minister Cai You."

"Upon arriving in Hangzhou, I was assigned to assist in the collection of salt taxes in Yanguan County."

"When the new dynasty's army arrived, the salt workers killed their superior officer,"

"I was so scared that I fled overnight,"

"I intend to go to Jiangxi to seek refuge with an old friend."

"But the gentleman has seen the world,"

Zeng was extremely impressed and said,

"My late husband was a good man when he was young,"

"It was all because he offended the county magistrate,"

"They had no choice but to become outlaws."

"This slave was originally a courtesan in Quzhou,"

"It was bought by a merchant from out of town,"

"When passing through Longyou, we encountered bandits who robbed us."

"The merchant abandoned his goods and fled,"

“I went up the mountain to follow my late husband.”

Emperor Huizong of Song, reflecting on his own wandering journey, couldn't help but sigh,

"We are both fellow sufferers in this world!"

Zeng said, "Although this servant is an unlucky person,"

"But he has also read books,"

"I also taught my son to read the classics."

“In the past, the court was tyrannical, and I was forced to become an outlaw by circumstances.”

"I recently heard that the new dynasty has captured Hangzhou,"

"That tyrannical ruler is most likely dead,"

"Heroes rose up in various prefectures and counties,"

"This is the time for good men to show their skills."

"My son intends to start a rebellion in Longyou,"

"The gentleman traveled south from Tokyo with the emperor,"

"He must be very knowledgeable,"

What are your thoughts on the current situation?

Come again?

Those who were forced to rebel before were just low-level thugs.

Now you're being asked to be someone's strategist!

Xue Su sat down beside him, his hand on his sword.

His eyes were fixed intently on him.

They clearly wanted to know Emperor Huizong's worth.

Emperor Huizong of Song dared not speak nonsense.

Based on his own observations and experiences along the way, he refined his words,

"Zhang Shun launched a surprise attack on Hangzhou from the sea,"

"The troop strength is probably not large."

"Therefore, they had no time to head south and conquer the prefectures and counties,"

"We must first head north to eliminate Liang Shicheng's river defenses."

"Once the river defenses are destroyed, the soldiers of Lianghuai can launch a large-scale crossing of the river."
