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

He was originally in Liangshan.

He was the commander of a cavalry battalion.

The Song Dynasty adopted the military system.

Fifty men form a team, and two teams form a city.

Five commanderies form one battalion, and five battalions form one army.

Ten armies form one wing.

The battalion was also commonly referred to as the "command".

The general in charge of management is the commander.

In the past six months or so,

From the horse market in Hebei

Every other month,

Four or five hundred fine horses were sent.

This has increased the number of cavalry in Liangshan.

There are already two armies.

That's nearly five thousand people.

After Yang Zhi surrendered to Liangshan,

He then served as the commander of the cavalry.

He commanded a battalion of cavalry.

After he went to guard Dulonggang,

Luan Tingyu then took over his position.

"The soldiers of Liangshan obeyed orders without question, and no one disobeyed."

Luan Tingyu cupped his hands in reply, and then...

He then hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.

"Teacher, please speak freely."

Zhao Yuan laughed.

"On this Liangshan Mountain, there's no need to be so hesitant and indecisive."

"Since that's the case, I, Luan, will speak frankly,"

Luan Tingyu explained,

"In fact, Luan also has a twin brother. Because he is skilled with double swords, he is known in the martial arts world as Double Swords Luan Tingfang."

“In the early years, due to a dispute over the position of the head of the Zhu family village, the head of the Zhu family village had two brothers, Zhu Wannian and Zhu Yongqing, who both left Dulonggang to make a living on their own.”

“My brother Luan Tingfang was their martial arts teacher, so he went with them.”

"The teacher brought this up now,"

Zhao Yuan pondered for a moment,

"Are you worried that your brother will be implicated by Liangshan?"

"What the chieftain said is exactly what I was worried about,"

Luan Tingyu said helplessly,

"Then Master Zhu has two brothers. The third brother, Zhu Yongqing, is alright, but the second brother, Zhu Wannian, is quite wicked..."

“I advised my brother back then not to associate with Zhu Wanlai, but he never listened to me.”

"Now that Liangshan has captured the Zhu Family Village, I have surrendered to Liangshan,"

Luan Tingyu said worriedly,

“I’m worried that Zhu Wannian will do something bad to my brother if he finds out about this.”

"So I want to go down the mountain and find my brother myself!"

"Well, Teacher Luan has just taken over as commander of the cavalry. It would be inappropriate for him to leave at this time, wouldn't it?"

Wen Huanzhang said meaningfully.

"The teacher wants to go down the mountain?"

Zhao Yuan, on the other hand, did not hesitate much.

"Since it concerns the safety of our fellow teachers, we should act quickly and decisively!"

"The cavalry battalion of teachers will be temporarily handed over to Qin Ming 2.0 and his apprentice Huang Xin,"

"Furthermore, if the teacher does not know the whereabouts of the brothers, he can ask Zhu Gui and Shi Qian,"

"One of them is in charge of hotel intelligence, and the other is in charge of intelligence gathering. With their help, we should be able to find the teacher's brother soon."

Luan Tingyu was taken aback for a moment.

He clearly hadn't expected Zhao Yuan to consider things so thoroughly for him.

"...Thank you very much, Chieftain!"

Chapter 462 The Taoist Priest Comes to the Door

After Luan Tingyu took his leave,

Then he went to find Zhu Gui and Shi Qian.

He asked the two men to mobilize their subordinates to help him find his brother's whereabouts.

And he himself,

Also, pack your things.

Heading towards Jingyang Town!

He vaguely remembered,

The Zhu family has a relative who is a steward in Jingyang Town.

It's highly likely that Zhu Wannian and Zhu Yongqing are involved.

They went there to stay with relatives.

If his brother Luan Tingfang were to continue following the two Zhu brothers...

They must have gone there!

..........

Three days later,

Luan Tingyu, who had gone down the mountain, had not yet sent back any news.

On Liangshan,

Zhao Yuan then received the report.

There was once a Taoist priest,

They caused a huge disturbance at the Liangshan Hotel on the east bank of the marsh!

He even went so far as to say,

We must send Zhao Dalang from Tokyo to see him in person!

When the soldiers came to report, 18

There were other leaders in the Hall of Gathering Righteousness.

Upon hearing that someone actually disregarded Liangshan and Zhao Yuan, Li Kui...

He immediately flew into a rage.

"Brother, where did this Taoist priest come from, daring to humiliate Liangshan and your brother like this!"

"I'll go down the mountain right now and kill that bastard!"

"Tie Niu, wait a minute!"

Shi Qian stopped Li Kui.

Then he looked at Zhao Yuan.

“Brother, if we’re talking about Taoists who know you, besides Master Gongsun from Qingfeng Mountain, I’m afraid there’s only Master Chen Xizhen from Bianliang, the capital of Tokyo.”

"Who cares if his surname is Chen or Li? He's not my brother's father-in-law. Let me, Tie Niu, go down the mountain and chop that guy up first!"

Li Kui started making a fuss and went to get his axe.

Shi Qian quickly grabbed the black man's arm,

She whispered something in his ear.

Shi Qian originally intended to use this opportunity to persuade Li Kui to stay.

But unexpectedly, after hearing this, the dark-skinned fellow...

But he immediately started shouting loudly.

"What did you say? This Taoist priest surnamed Chen is actually my brother's father-in-law?"

"Why does my brother need so many fathers-in-law? They can't eat or drink anything!"

"You black bastard, what nonsense are you spouting?"

Zhao Yuan glared at Li Kui with annoyance.

"That Master Chen's daughter once shielded me from an arrow and saved me on the fighting stage in Tokyo!"

"If it really is him, then the people of Liangshan will naturally find it difficult to do anything about it!"

"So it was that Lady Chen's father,"

Li Kui muttered,

"Won't he still be my father-in-law sooner or later?"

The black man's words were heard by the other leaders around him.

They all smiled knowingly!

Zhao Yuan was too lazy to argue with this scoundrel anymore.

Since it's possible that Chen Xizhen has come,

Regardless of how this Taoist priest viewed him as the leader of the Liangshan bandits,

Just for Chen Liqing's sake,

Zhao Yuan would always make sure to go down the mountain to see him in person.

..........

In the hotel on the east bank of Liangshan Marsh,

Chen Xizhen's face was ashen.

I sat alone in the shop.

He poured himself a drink from the wine jug.

The shopkeeper and all the other employees have been driven away by him.

Outside the hotel,

Both Liangshan teams gained soldiers.

Holding a powerful bow and sharp arrows,

Awaiting orders!

Not far away, there were also about a hundred people.

Standing on tiptoe and craning my neck, I looked towards the hotel.
