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

If this were placed on Shaohua Mountain,

If there were such a prosperous and developed town nearby,

It's likely that Shi Jin and his men have already plundered it.

How could it possibly continue to thrive like this forever!

"Our Liangshan has four inns surrounding this marshland,"

Lu Zhishen introduced,

"Now they have all developed into similar small towns,"

"You can find all kinds of goods from all over the country here,"

"Brother, let's go up the mountain first today,"

"In a couple of days, when you have more free time, you are welcome to come to this town to drink and stroll around."

I gave a brief introduction to the Liangshan hotel to the group from Shaohua Mountain.

Lu Zhishen then led them to the shore of the marsh.

We're just waiting for the navy to come by in their ships.

From top to bottom of Shaohua Mountain

They were all brought into Liangshan, which was located in the marshland.

...

The group had only waited for less than half an incense stick's time...

Then a dozen or so large ships, each weighing a hundred stones, emerged from the depths of the marsh.

They came towards the shore.

These large ships were all newly built by Liangshan in the past six months.

Meng Kang, the jade banner pole.

He was originally a shipwright who oversaw the construction of large ships for transporting precious stones and other valuables.

Since Yinmachuan,

After Deng Fei and others joined Liangshan...

Deng Fei, the Fiery-Eyed Lion, remained at Yinmachuan.

He was responsible for purchasing all the military horses and infantry for Liangshan.

As for the other two leaders

Iron Hole Eye Pei Xuanhe Jade Banner Pole Meng Kang,

Then he returned to Liangshan Marsh with Zhao Yuan.

Now, the Iron-Hole Eye is on Liangshan Mountain.

He was a clerk in the Ministry of Personnel.

He was specifically in charge of the promotion and demotion of all civil officials in Liangshan.

And Yu Fan Gan Meng Kang.

He also went back to his old profession.

Specifically in the water village,

To build all the necessary naval warships for Liangshan.

Those ten or so naval warships were drafted too deep.

Naturally, they cannot approach the shore.

After stopping in deeper water some distance from the lake,

A small boat was lowered from the large ship.

Once it gets close to the shore,

Only then did Lu Zhishen and the others see it.

Standing at the bow of the boat was none other than Ruan Xiao'er.

He jumped off the deck in a few swift movements.

After meeting with Shi Jin and others,

Then he smiled and said,

"Commander, don't be in a hurry, wait here at the dock."

"What, are there other people who want to take a boat into the village?"

Lu Zhishen asked curiously,

"Haha, we just received the news too,"

Ruan Xiaoer said happily,

"My brothers have already taken a boat into the marshland,"

"We'll be at the hotel on the west bank in about half an hour,"

"We'll pick up Brother Zhao then, and then we'll take a boat back to the mountain together."

......

Upon learning that Zhao Yuan had entered the marshland,

Lu Zhishen was naturally overjoyed.

Seeing that there was still plenty of time,

The flowery monk then pulled Shi Jin and the other three along.

They also invited Shi Xiu, Ruan Xiaoer, and others to accompany them.

The group went directly to the Liangshan Hotel on the west bank.

They chatted and drank casually.

However, everyone seemed somewhat distracted.

The Liangshan heroes waited to escort Zhao Yuan back to the mountain.

The four men were Shi Jin (Nine-Tattooed Dragon), Zhu Wu (Divine Strategist), Chen Da (Leaping Tiger), and Yang Chun (White Flower Snake).

I was about to meet the renowned leader of Liangshan.

My heart was naturally stirred with excitement.

Half an hour later,

There were lookouts and henchmen who relayed the message.

They say the chieftain will be arriving soon.

The people in the hotel

They hurriedly came out to greet them.

In the water not far away,

There were four or five small boats.

It paddled swiftly towards the lake shore.

On the lead boat,

A young man stood there, exuding confidence and high spirits.

He was chatting and laughing with the person next to him.

On this side of the lake shore,

Taking the opportunity, Lu Zhishen gave Shi Jin and his companions a brief introduction to the people who had come from the other ship.

Shi Jin learned about the young man on the leading small boat,

He was the leader of Liangshan, and a descendant of Zhao Dalang from Dongjing.

I couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Chief Zhao is actually so young?"

"Haha, although my brother is young, without him there would be no prosperous Liangshan today,"

Lu Zhishen laughed heartily, with a hint of smugness in his voice.

"Think back to a year ago, Liangshan was run by that white-robed scholar, Wang Lun,"

"There were only three or four leaders and a couple thousand followers on the entire mountain. How could that compare to what we have today..."

Chapter 600 Shi Jin Goes Up the Mountain

After a while,

The small boat approached the shore.

Zhao Yuan stepped onto the shore.

The Flower Monk quickly led his group of Liangshan brothers forward to greet them.

"Brother, you're finally back!"

Lu Zhishen laughed heartily.

He then immediately grabbed Shi Jin, the Nine-Dragoned Swordsman.

He was brought before Zhao Yuan.

"Brother, this is the leader of Shaohua Mountain, Brother Shi Jin, the Nine-Tattooed Dragon!"

"Their Shaohua Mountain is under siege by government troops, so it's hard for them to find refuge there,"

"That's why they've traveled all this way to seek refuge with us!"

"Shi Jin greets Chief Zhao!"

Nine-Dragon hurriedly presented his power.

Although the young Zhao Dalang from Tokyo before us was young,

But in the green forest

It's always been about ability.

It's not about seniority.

"Brother Shi, please rise!"

Zhao Yuan quickly helped the Nine-Tattooed Dragon up.

While in Yizhou,

He suddenly received a message from Liangshan.

It is said that government troops are coming to besiege Liangshan.

So they traveled light and simply.

They sped back to Liangshan.

Unexpectedly, after arriving at the hotel on the south bank of the lake,

Only then did I learn that

The so-called government army's encirclement and suppression had actually turned into Shao Huashan leading his followers to surrender.

Zhao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Naturally, they were overjoyed.

Like the two strategists Wen Huanzhang and Xu Guanzhong,
