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

While listening to him recount the events of the evening,

"So, Hu Cheng is indeed imprisoned in the dungeon?"

Zhao Yuan asked.

"That's right,"

Shi Qian nodded.

“I’ve seen a portrait of Master Hu before, and he admitted it himself.”

"I originally wanted to leave with Master Hu, but before we even left the dungeon, we ran into Luan Tingyu with that iron rod."

"what?"

Upon hearing this,

The maid, Mint, immediately exclaimed in surprise.

It was Buddha's Hand, who was standing nearby, who quickly reached out and covered her mouth.

The group stayed in the secret room.

I waited quietly for a while.

Seeing that there was no movement coming from above,

He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't make a sound! If we get caught, we're all finished!"

Buddha's Hand glared at Mint.

"Um,"

Mint nodded pitifully.

"I forgot just now too..."

"Brother Shi Qian, what's next?"

Zhao Yuan asked curiously,

"Didn't Luan Tingyu stop you?"

When Shi Qian returned,

Although in a hurry,

But there were no signs of a fight on his body.

Zhao Yuan is not wrong about this.

"Brother, you are unaware of this,"

Shi Qian recounted what had happened when he came out.

"Thanks to Master Hu's help in covering for me, Luan Tingyu didn't make a move against me."

"This Hu Cheng is indeed a businessman; his mind works very quickly."

Zhao Yuan gave a thumbs up.

Gao Liang, standing nearby, asked in surprise,

"Since Luan Tingyu didn't realize your identity, why are the guards outside searching for people from Liangshan?"

"this......"

Shi Qian pondered for a moment,

"I think there was another servant from the Zhu Family Manor present at the time, and perhaps that person reported the matter to the higher-ups."

"Although Hu Cheng's explanation deceived Luan Tingyu, it still had many flaws."

"If we had replaced them with someone who knows the situation in Hujiazhuang, I'm afraid they would have discovered the problem very quickly."

Now that the Zhu Family Manor knows we've infiltrated, will they relocate Manor Lord Hu?

Gao Liang said worriedly,

"Wouldn't all our previous efforts have been in vain?"

"No, the Liangshan troops are already at the post; they should be on duty by tomorrow morning."

Zhao Yuan shook his head.

"It's only a matter of time before the Zhu Family Village is besieged. At this point, where can they possibly move their people?"

"Brother, what should we do next?"

Shi Qian inquired.

"One word: Wait!"

Zhao Yuan thought for a moment,

"Once the brothers on the mountain surround the Zhu Family Village tomorrow, you set fire to the village. With their help, we can destroy the Zhu Family Village from the inside."

"What about you, brother?"

Shi Qian asked in confusion.

"While things are chaotic in the village, I'll find a way to sneak in,"

Zhao Yuan clapped his hands and made a decision.

"Even if we can't find Hu Cheng, we must rescue San Niang first."

"Brother, if you act alone, what if..."

Shi Qian hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

The sorghum beside him noticed his worry.

He opened his mouth and laughed.

"It's alright, I'll go with Chief Zhu tomorrow..."

Leader Zhu?

Shi Qian paused for a moment,

Only then did I realize...

Zhao Yuan was still using Zhu Gui's identity in Gaoliang.

"In that case, I entrust my brother's safety to Madam Gao."

Shi Qian cupped his hands in greeting.

"Chief Shi Qian, you're too kind,"

Gao Liang quickly waved his hand.

"When it comes to martial arts, Chief Zhu is much better than me. It's hard to say who will take care of whom tomorrow."

At this moment, the Buddha's Hand beside him suddenly exclaimed in surprise,

"Brother Shi Qian, aren't you two leaders of the mountain stronghold?"

"But judging from your attitude towards Chief Zhu Gui, why do I always feel like he's the chieftain?"

This girl was one of the four maids in Gaoliang.

Most intelligent

Normally, Zhao Yuan didn't have much contact with them, which was fine.

But in the last two days,

We spend our days and nights together.

Buddha's Hand immediately and keenly noticed...

The identity of this "Chief Zhu"

Something seems wrong.

"cough!"

Zhao Yuan quickly coughed lightly.

“I joined Liangshan relatively early and am considered one of the elders, which is why Brother Shiqian is more respectful to me.”

"Is that right?"

Buddha's Hand looked at the two of them suspiciously.

I still felt something was off.

"Alright, stop guessing."

Gaoliang reached out and pinched the little face of Buddha's Hand, scolding him.

"As the saying goes, a true man does not change his name or surname. How could Chief Zhu possibly fool us about something like this!"

“Yes, yes…”

Zhao Yuan's lips twitched.

I felt a wave of frustration.

Since you've already said that...

How can I reveal my identity in the future?

To be honest,

Wouldn't that be admitting that you're not a real man?

Shi Qian, who was standing nearby,

Hearing this, he held his breath even more.

I barely managed to hold back my laughter...

Chapter 410 Women are like clothes

Zhujiazhuang was busy all night.

The three Zhu brothers practically turned the whole village upside down.

But they still couldn't find Shi Qian.

Zhu Long and Zhu Hu, in their frustration,

He then went to ask Luan Tingyu.

It was the old lady who publicly stopped them.

"There is no clear evidence of what happened last night. When Liangshan soldiers come to attack the stronghold today, we will still need Teacher Luan's help."

"At this time, do not say anything that might offend him."

"Father, we can't just leave the Liangshan spies in the village unattended,"

Zhu Biao said coldly,

"Otherwise, if Liangshan attacks the village and they cause trouble inside, working together from within, our Zhu Family Village will surely be doomed."

"But now, after all that commotion all night, you've achieved nothing,"

Old Master Zhu said with difficulty,

"We don't know where those Liangshan bandits are hiding, so how can we capture them?"

"Father, I have an idea,"

Zhu Biao said with a gloomy expression,

"Hu Sanniang has an affair with the Liangshan leader. Whether it's Liangshan attacking or the thief who infiltrated the manor, they're probably all here for Hu Sanniang."

"In that case, why don't we lure the snake out of its hole? Maybe we can catch a big fish."

"Luring the snake out of its hole?"

Old Master Zhu paused for a moment,
