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

He was filled with shame and repeatedly agreed.

"Rest assured, Your Excellency, I will certainly not disappoint you this time!"

"By the way, when you go to Qingfeng Village this time, send someone to escort Hua Rong's family to Qingzhou!"

Murong Yanda said in a deep voice,

"I will use them, along with the lives of Song Jiang's family members, to offer sacrifices to the innocent civilians who were killed or injured outside the city last night!"

　(Li's) "This..."

Qin Ming hesitated for a moment.

Song Jiang had his family to care for, so Thunderbolt naturally didn't bother with him.

But Hua Rong had previously gotten along very well with Qin Ming and Huang Xin.

He had a wife and a sister at home, and he treated them with great respect.

Although later, Hua Rong, because of Song Jiang, joined the outlaws at Qingfeng Mountain,

But Qin Ming and Huang Xin still had some affection for him.

Naturally, they couldn't bear to see their family members killed.

"What? You want to disobey orders?"

Seeing that Qin Ming did not agree, Murong Yanda immediately roared in anger.

"If you don't bring Hua Rongde's family to Qingfeng Village when you arrive, I will use your family to pay for the lives of the people who perished in Qingzhou last night!"

Chapter 354 If the opportunity arises in the future, my brothers will surely be able to shed their traitorous ways and serve the country.

On Qingfeng Mountain,

After hearing Qin Ming describe himself as the leader of a bandit group

Song Jiang's eyes immediately reddened.

"Damn bandits! How could I, Song Jiang, have become a bandit! I was devoted to my country and only thought of serving the court, how could I...?"

Before he could finish speaking,

This timely rain finally remembered where it was.

With a touch of embarrassment, he looked up and around.

The Liangshan heroes remained expressionless.

Chao Gai frowned, clearly not expecting this from his brother.

He actually looked down on bandits from the bottom of his heart.

Hua Rong's expression, however, was the most complex.

He was originally a general in the imperial court.

Although it was just a small magistrate's village.

But at least he was still considered an official.

They lived a carefree life.

Now, because of Song Jiang's involvement,

He became a bandit,

He had hoped to follow Song Jiang by his side.

In the end, our brotherhood wasn't in vain.

Who would have thought he'd end up as an outlaw?

This brother Gongming, however, was unwilling to defile himself and join the bandits!

"This little idiot was just acting on impulse. Although you brothers have fallen into the life of bandits, you all have your own reasons for doing so."

Seeing that everyone's expressions were off, Song Jiang

He quickly tried to salvage the situation.

"If the opportunity arises in the future, you brothers will surely be able to shed your bandit identities, serve the country, and repay the court..."

He was only halfway through his sentence when...

He was then interrupted by Bian Xiang.

"This damned court is now filled with treacherous officials who can't distinguish right from wrong! Who would be willing to serve them!"

"Brother Bianxiang is right,"

Xu Ning agreed.

"I was originally an instructor in the Imperial Guard's Golden Spear Class, but because of my family's heirloom armor, I attracted the covetousness of Gao Kande, and almost ended up losing my family and my life! Who would dare to serve such a court!"

The words of these two men drew nods of agreement from the Liangshan heroes, as well as Chao Gai and Liu Tang.

If the court is truly enlightened,

　(bica) Now on Qingfeng Mountain,

There will be no more large gatherings.

Song Jiang never expected that his words would...

This unexpectedly provoked opposition from many people.

Seeing that Timely Rain looked embarrassed,

Hua Rong couldn't bear it any longer and changed the subject.

"Brother Gongming, now that Murong Yanda has sent men to Yunzhou to arrest your family, we need to make plans for this as soon as possible..."

"Well, when I first started working at the Yuncheng County government office, I had someone draw up a contract with my father, instructing him to expel me from the Song family,"

Song Jiang hesitated and said,

"Even if Murong Yanda's men arrive in Yunzhou and find out about this, they probably won't make things difficult for my father and brothers, right?"

"Sir Song, your method might fool Shi Wenbin, but how can it possibly deal with Murong Yanda?"

Wu Yong shook his head.

"Last night, under the watchful eyes of everyone, countless civilians were killed or wounded beneath the walls of Qingzhou!"

"Even if Murong Yanda doesn't care about the lives of the people, he should at least consider his own reputation!"

"And your plan to eliminate any potential heirs, Clerk Song, was nothing short of slapping him across the face in public!"

"In his anger and embarrassment, why would this fellow care about a mere contract?"

The wise man's words,

Upon hearing this, Song Jiang's face turned pale.

"How...how could this be?"

"The best course of action for Clerk Song is to return to Yuncheng as soon as possible,"

Wu Yong sighed.

"Since Murong Yanda has determined that Clerk Song is the leader of the bandits in Qingfeng Mountain, then Clerk Song's father and brothers will certainly have no chance of survival once they are arrested by the Qingzhou government."

"Scholar Wu is right,"

Song Jiang nodded repeatedly as he listened.

"I will return immediately and must get my father and brothers out of Yuncheng before the Qingzhou government officials arrive. But then..."

Although Timely Rain was quite famous among the greenwoods...

But only a handful of people could gain his trust.

He killed Yan Poxi in Yuncheng back then.

After careful consideration, Song Jiang identified three places where he could hide.

They were nothing more than Chai Jin of Cangzhou, Hua Rong of Qingfeng Mountain, and the brothers Kong Ming and Kong Liang of Baihu Mountain.

Now, because of him, Hua Rong has become an outlaw.

Chai Jin was far away in Hebei.

Although the brothers Kongming and Kongliang were his disciples,

But Kong Taigong of White Tiger Mountain acquired the estate.

It's only slightly better than a typical farm.

Bullying rural farmers is one thing, but...

Once Song Jiang and his men's whereabouts are exposed...

How could Kong Taigong's estate possibly withstand the pursuing government troops?

Seeing Song Jiang in a dilemma,

Chao Gai immediately understood his brother's predicament.

"If you don't mind, after you bring your father and brothers here, you can settle down at Qingfeng Mountain."

"Is the Heavenly King telling the truth?"

As Song Jiang asked the questions, he couldn't help but glance at Zhao Yuan beside him.

Chao Gai then remembered...

This Qingfeng Mountain was given to him by Liangshan.

He hurriedly sought Zhao Yuan's opinion.

"Chief Zhao, I am unaware of this matter..."

Chapter 355 My wife and sister are in your care, Chief Zhao.

"Since I have already stated that Qingfeng Mountain is under the jurisdiction of King Chao, I will naturally not interfere,"

Zhao Yuan replied calmly.

Chao Gai wasn't a man of many schemes.

Upon hearing Zhao Yuan's reply, he immediately believed it.

On the contrary, it was Song Jiang,

He then furtively sized up Zhao Yuan for a while longer.

After confirming that the leader of Liangshan truly had no other intentions,

Then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sir Song, there's no time to lose, let's set off as soon as possible~"

Wu Yong suggested,

"Bring your father and brothers to Qingfeng Mountain as soon as possible, so you can put your mind at ease sooner."

"What Scholar Wu says makes sense, then I..."

Song Jiang nodded, but then, halfway through his sentence, he suddenly remembered something.

He then looked at Hua Rong with a troubled expression.

Little Li Guang paused for a moment, then immediately understood Song Jiang's meaning.

"Don't worry, Brother Gongming, I will go to Yunzhou with you!"

"But your wife and younger sister are still in Qingfeng Village..."

Song Jiang hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"this......"

Hua Rong's expression shifted for a moment, then he forced a smile and said...

"It's alright. That Zhen Sanshan Huang Xin is also a good man. He certainly wouldn't harm my wife and sister."

"That might not have been the case before, but it's hard to say now!"
