Sun Li had a good appetite that day, eating two lamb legs and ten steamed buns.

Then he left the tavern alone; he came alone and he left alone.

"Honey, are you sure you don't want your uncle to go alone?"

Unbeknownst to Sun Li, Sun Xin was standing by the window as he left, watching his figure slowly disappear.

"What else can you do? Are you willing to let me go?"

Sun Xin looked at his wife with a grin.

"Seriously!"

Sister-in-law Gu patted Sun Xin on the back and said coquettishly.

"I'm serious."

Sun Xin felt the force of his wife's pats on his back, and he was very excited.

“My brother is definitely going to lose this battle, so what am I supposed to do? It would be more useful for me to stay here.”

"What do you mean, sir?"

Sister-in-law Gu was a little confused. She knew that her husband was actually capable and very smart.

However, after marrying her, Sun Xin restrained his abilities and was content to be a modest and content manager.

"The prefect of Dengzhou has disliked my brother for a long time, and he has been trying to trip him up at every turn during this expedition."

Sun Xin calmly said, "I bet that once the news of my brother's defeat gets back, the prefect of Dengzhou will immediately make my brother take the blame."

“If my brother dies in battle, that’s fine. But if he doesn’t die and comes back, his whole family will probably be implicated and imprisoned.”

"If it's that serious, then we'll have to..."

Sister-in-law Gu was startled. If it involved the whole family, then her own family would be affected too!

"So I can't go with my brother. I need to stay in Dengzhou. If the prefect tries anything, I can protect my sister-in-law and you."

Sun Xin said, holding his wife's hand.

"Honey, what are you saying? Aren't you ashamed?"

When Gu Da Sao heard her husband's words, her face flushed slightly, a rare occurrence for her.

"Hehe, we're an old married couple, what's there to be shy about..."

……

"Honey, you should go help your uncle."

After their lovemaking, Sister-in-law Gu said to Sun Xin.

"Hmm? You want me to go?"

Sun Xin was somewhat surprised, since his wife had always disliked him going to the military.

"You can leave Dengzhou to me. Besides, there's Jie Zhen and Jie Bao too. I'll take care of them and they'll definitely be able to protect my sister-in-law without any problem."

"On the battlefield, you are my uncle's brother, a brother who fights tigers together. If you go, you will definitely be able to play a great role."

"I also need to let others know that my man, Gu Qiuyue's man, isn't just someone who can be a shopkeeper in the village!"

This time, unusually, Sister-in-law Gu did not stop Sun Xin from taking the field; instead, she encouraged him.

"I really have a wonderful wife!"

Sun Xin was taken aback at first, then he laughed.

"Okay, I'll go. But don't worry, this trip to Liangshan isn't some dangerous place. Who knows, in the future, our whole family might end up on Liangshan!"

“How come you see?”

Sister-in-law Gu was even more surprised.

"As you know, I know quite a few people. There's a brother named Yang Lin, nicknamed 'Golden Leopard,' who is now the leader of the Liangshan inn scouts. He wrote to me, inviting my whole family to come to Liangshan."

"Moreover, the heroes of Liangshan are now extremely famous in the Song Dynasty's outlaw world! Especially their leader, Brother Ren Yuan, who is a renowned hero, a great philanthropist, and a great savior!"

"The area under Liangshan's jurisdiction can now be said to be the most peaceful and prosperous place in the Song Dynasty. I think even if we go there, it will be very good."

Sun Xin does indeed have unique insights.

"Then why didn't you tell your uncle? Your uncle is also a martial artist, and he even had a master before, didn't he?"

Sister-in-law Gu was somewhat puzzled.

“My brother is good in every way, but sometimes he is a bit too ambitious. If we don’t let him experience some setbacks or push him a little, he might not see the true nature of the world.”

"then you……"

Sister-in-law Gu asked somewhat uncertainly.

“Since my wife has told me to go, I will certainly go. However, that’s for tomorrow. My wife, it’s getting late. How about we discuss the whip technique in more detail?”

Silent all night.

The next day, when Sun Li led his soldiers out of the east gate to head to Liangshan, he saw Sun Xin, fully armed, at the city gate.

"Little brother! What brings you here?"

Sun Li was overjoyed and quickly stepped forward!

"Brother, I'm here to lend you a hand! Don't worry about the house, my wife, and the Xie brothers, Xie Zhen and Xie Bao, will help take care of it!"

Sun Xin smiled and said to Sun Li, while showing Sun Li his equipment: a lion helmet, willow-leaf armor, two iron whips, and a long spear made of wrought iron!

"I really never thought I'd see you wearing this armor again."

Sun Li nodded repeatedly as he looked at his younger brother's handsome appearance fully armed!

With my younger brother around, I'm much more confident this time!

"Let's go! Our destination is Liangshan! Let's set off!"

……

Liangshanbo is a pass on the northeastern route.

A legion has already been stationed here since early this morning.

The mobilization of troops from Qingzhou and Dengzhou was already known to the Liangshan Tianmu Camp.

Two thousand armored cavalrymen from Qingzhou led the charge first, followed closely by twelve hundred infantrymen from Dengzhou!

This northeastern pass was the only route they could take to get here.

Today, a large banner has been raised here, with two big characters written on it: Ever-Victorious!

The First Infantry Legion of Liangshan! Also the first unit in Liangshan to have its own banner!

Yuan Lang's Ever-Victorious Team!

As a veteran of Liangshan, Yuan Lang held a very high position in the Ever-Victorious Group and the Liangshan infantry!

They were also the regiment with the most veterans among the Liangshan infantry!

However, because the Ever-Victorious Legion became famous too early and was too powerful, it took on the important task of guarding Liangshan after Liangshan had more legions!

Basically, every time Ren Yuan went down the mountain, the task of guarding the mountain was handed over to Yuan Lang's Ever-Victorious Team!

This is both a sign of trust and an affirmation of the Ever-Victorious Team's strength!

That's why Yuan Lang hasn't gone down the mountain on missions for a long time—he's been guarding the home, like a tiger guarding its home!

"Boss, Brother Tianmu reports that the Qingzhou army has arrived five miles away!"

One of Yuan Lang's junior officers rushed over to report to his commander.

"Alright, pass down the order: all troops, prepare for battle! Are the pit traps ready? Prepare the barricades and crossbows!"

While giving instructions, Yuan Lang personally led his men to the pass to set up defenses.

The decision to bring him here today was made after discussions among the strategists of Liangshan.

In Xiao Jiasui's words, you are a pair of double-edged swords, and Huyan Zhuo is a pair of double-whips. The two of you are evenly matched!

Moreover, the strategist also said that although the Huyan family and Liangshan are currently allies, it cannot be ruled out that Qingzhou might cause trouble and send Huyan Zhuo's linked cavalry to charge.

Therefore, Liangshan must arrange its strongest army to deal with them, and Yuan Lang's Ever-Victorious Army is the obvious choice!

Furthermore, Xiao Jiasui also said that there are not many people in the Song Dynasty who wield two weapons at present, and Yuan Lang and Huyan Zhuo are undoubtedly among the best!

Therefore, this whip-cracking competition will become a major event for the outlaws of the Song Dynasty!

Yuan Lang slowly turned the water-mill steel mace in his hand, and he could already feel the tremors coming from the ground.

Come on, Huyan Zhuo, let me see who is the number one dual-wielder in the Song Dynasty!
