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

"Furthermore, Hu Sanniang is a member of Liangshan. The reason why she suddenly wants to marry Zhu Biao is still unknown. If the people of Hu Family Village are injured during the attack on the three villages, it will not look good for anyone in the future."

"Judging from the confident demeanor of the two strategists, have they already devised a plan?"

Sun An asked curiously.

"This three-man defense isn't difficult to break,"

Wen Huanzhang laughed,

"The incident at Hu Family Village must have a reason. Once we find out, with Hu Sanniang around, they probably won't make things difficult for Liangshan."

"As for the Li family village, Li Ying has made a fortune in gold and silver through business dealings with Liangshan these past few months."

"Now, because of the Zhu Family Village, we have to become enemies with Liangshan. We don't know how much money we will lose. That cunning old eagle, Soaring Eagle, must be very unhappy."

“We can first send someone to visit Lord Li in Lijiazhuang and tell him that this military expedition is only for the sake of Zhujiazhuang.”

"If he is willing to stay out of it, we can continue doing business as usual in the future."

"What if the Sky-Soaring Eagle refuses?"

Lu Zhishen asked in a muffled voice.

“If he refuses, we can also spread the word that the Li family village has business dealings with Liangshan.”

"When the Zhu family hears this news, they will definitely become suspicious of Li Ying. I will then do something to turn the Zhu family against the Li family. It shouldn't be difficult."

........

Wen Huanzhang and Xu Guanzhong decided in the Hall of Righteousness to send troops to attack the Zhu Family Manor.

Throughout Liangshan,

They immediately got to work.

The final decision rested with the two strategists.

This expedition to Zhujiazhuang,

Led by Hsu Kuan-chung,

Leaders including Sun An, Lu Zhishen, Li Kui, Yang Zhi, and Longhu Xiongjiao,

He led four thousand infantrymen and one thousand cavalrymen into battle.

The remaining Lin Chong and the others stayed behind at the marsh to guard against any unforeseen events.

When this news reached Jinshatan...

The sorghum immediately had an idea...

Chapter 390 Sorghum Repays Kindness

Gao Liang wanted to settle the score with Liangshan for saving her father.

Upon hearing that Liangshan had dispatched troops to attack the Zhu Family Village

So they left behind the osmanthus and roses.

Alone, carrying mint and Buddha's hand,

The three men disguised themselves as merchants and headed towards the Zhu Family Village.

On the way,

Mint asked, puzzled.

“My lady, if you want to repay your kindness, you can join the Liangshan leaders in a military campaign.”

Why take us along on this separate trip?

“Peppermint is right,”

Buddha's Hand chimed in,

"With your skills, Madam, if you were to kill one or two leaders of the Zhu Family Village on the battlefield, wouldn't that repay the favors of Liangshan?"

"You two seriously underestimate the heroes of the world. But, this is also my fault,"

Gao Liang said with a laugh,

“Back in Zhaojia Village, no, in Mengyin County, almost no one could rival me. I was just as arrogant back then, almost thinking I was invincible.”

"It wasn't until I came to Liangshan this time that I realized there are always stronger hands among the strong."

"Those leaders, Zhu Gui, are just the ones in charge of running the inn at Liangshan, yet their martial arts skills are already far superior to mine."

"The other leaders in the army are certainly no weaker than Zhu Gui in terms of martial arts."

"If I went to war with them, how would I have the chance to achieve merit?"

Because Zhao Yuan impersonated Zhu Gui and fought against Gao Liang.

Instead, it caused this misunderstanding.

Sorghum thought that

There must be even more skilled fighters on Liangshan Mountain than "Zhu Gui".

If the real Zhu Gui heard this,

I'm afraid I'll have no choice but to either laugh or cry.

"My lady, I've always felt that there's something amiss with that leader, Zhu Gui,"

Buddha's Hand suddenly said,

“Once before, I told Chief Qiong Ying that Chief Zhu Gui was highly skilled in martial arts.”

"The leader, Qiongying, seemed to have heard something funny. She just kept laughing and wouldn't answer no matter how much I pressed her for an answer."

"My lady, do you think that Zhu Gui, the leader, might be someone else impersonating him? For example, we've been on the mountain for over two months, but we've never seen the Liangshan chieftain?"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Sorghum glared at Buddha's Hand.

“A true man does not change his name or surname. The leader of Liangshan is such a hero, how could he impersonate someone else to make fun of us?”

"But something really isn't right,"

Buddha's Hand said, feeling wronged.

"Anyway, I don't believe that there are many people on Liangshan who are more skilled in martial arts than my wife."

The three of them, master and servants, chatted and laughed.

After traveling for most of the day,

We had already arrived at the foot of Dulonggang.

When Gaoliang and the others left the marsh,

The Liangshan army has not yet set out.

Therefore, in Dulonggang...

He was unaware that Liangshan was already preparing to attack him.

Because Zhu Biao, the third son of the Zhu family, is getting married soon.

Therefore, at the foot of Dulonggang

At this time, there was a steady flow of people coming and going.

There were servants preparing wedding items,

There were also relatives and friends of the Zhu family.

They arrived early to celebrate Zhu Biao's wedding.

The three of them, Gaoliang, master and servants,

Although I don't know how dangerous the winding road in front of Zhujiazhuang is,

But with the influx of people on the job

That's how it went.

They successfully reached Dulonggang.

They entered the Zhu Family Village.

"My lady, now that we've infiltrated the Zhu Family Manor, what should we do next?"

Mint asked.

Sorghum was just a passing fad.

To infiltrate the Zhu Family Village,

It has truly succeeded now.

For a moment, she was at a loss.

"My wife, how about this,"

········Requesting flowers·· 0

Buddha's Hand suggested,

"Let's find an inn to rest first, and then gather information about the Zhu Family Village."

"If there is anything urgent, then quickly step down and inform Liangshan to make preparations as soon as possible."

"If we can't find out anything useful, we'll wait until Liangshan attacks the Zhu Family Village,"

"Take the opportunity to set fire to the manor, causing chaos, so that Liangshan can successfully capture the manor."

Buddha's Hand's suggestion was immediately agreed to by Sorghum.

The three of them, master and servants, found a passerby, asked for directions, and then...

He then headed straight for the inn.

But did not expect,

I asked three companies in a row.

All the rooms were already fully booked.

It turns out it was all because of Zhu Biao's marriage.

The inn was already full of guests who came to offer their congratulations.

And this Zhu Family Village isn't very big.

Throughout the entire village,

There are only two or three inns that can accommodate people.

"My wife, what should we do?"

Mint said worriedly,

"All the inns are full, and we're completely unfamiliar with this place. It's getting dark soon, so we don't want to have to spend the night in the wilderness, do we?"

"this......"

For a moment, Gao Liang was at a loss.

As always, the wise Buddha said.

"Wife, if all else fails, let's find a farm family. Give them more money, and someone will surely be willing to take it."

"That's true,"

Gaoliang nodded.

The three, master and servants, began to wander around the estate.

Find a secluded and hidden farmhouse where it is convenient to carry out your mission.

After searching around for a while,

Gaoliang then took a fancy to a small courtyard.

This courtyard is located near the manor wall.
