Transmigrating to the Song Dynasty: Water Margin Business Management

The group rested temporarily in a mountain forest, the atmosphere heavy and oppressive. The wounded leaders sat or lay down, their faces contorted in pain.

An Daoquan had not yet arrived. Zhao Tianming's wife, He Xiang, looked at the miserable state of everyone and felt sorry for them. She took out some dry food from the bundle of someone next to her and said softly, "Everyone, eat something first and save your strength."

He Xiang distributed the dry rations to everyone one by one. Lu Zhishen took the rations and chewed them heartily. His wound was still bleeding, but he still said boldly, "Thank you, sister-in-law. This little injury is nothing!"

Wu Song silently accepted the rations, his eyes filled with determination, as if he were pondering his next move.

Lin Chong leaned against a tree, sulking. He thought of the despicable acts of Gao Yanei, Gao Ke, Wang Zhiqiang, and others, and his anger burned within him.

"These shameless bastards, they actually used such despicable means!" Lin Chong punched the tree trunk beside him, and leaves fell one after another.

Seeing this, Lu Zhishen said, "Instructor Lin, don't be angry. Let's wait until we've recovered from our injuries before we settle the score with them!"

Lin Chong sighed deeply: "We have suffered heavy losses this time, and we don't know when we will be able to get justice."

Wu Song took a bite of his dry rations and said, "Brother Lin, there's no need to be too pessimistic. We will definitely have a chance."

At this moment, He Xiang walked to Lin Chong's side, handed him a piece of dry food, and said softly, "Instructor Lin, have something to eat."

Lin Chong took the dry rations and looked at He Xiang gratefully: "Thank you, sister-in-law."

He Xiang said, "We're all brothers who've been through thick and thin together, so there's no need to be so polite."

On the other side, Lu Zhishen and Wu Song were discussing something in hushed tones.

Lu Zhishen said, "Brother Wu Song, we cannot let this grudge go unavenged."

Wu Song nodded and said, "But right now we need to heal our injuries first, and then we can make further plans."

The group ate their dry rations in silence, their hearts filled with resentment towards Gao Yanei and his ilk, and worry about the future.

At this moment, several henchmen were on guard in the distance, vigilantly observing the surrounding movements.

Suddenly, a bird took flight, alerting them.

"Watch out, everyone!" one of the henchmen shouted.

Everyone tensed up immediately and gripped their weapons tightly.

Lin Chong stood up and said, "Don't panic, let's assess the situation first."

After a while, they realized it was just a false alarm, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Zhishen cursed, "This sudden scare has me on edge!"

He Xiang comforted her, "It's always good for everyone to be careful."

As the sun gradually set in the west, the light in the mountains and forests became dim.

Lin Chong gazed into the distance, secretly vowing in his heart: "Gao Yanei, Wang Zhiqiang, Gao Ke, I, Lin Chong, will never let you go!"

As night fell, the group spent an uneasy night in the mountains, waiting for dawn and hoping to avenge their grievances in the future.

The night grew deeper, and the mountains and forests were silent except for the occasional chirping of insects. Everyone was exhausted and had fallen into a deep sleep, their breathing rising and falling clearly in the still night.

Lin Chong leaned against a large tree, unable to fall asleep. He gazed at the sleeping crowd, his eyes revealing determination and resolve. After a while, he slowly rose, picked up his knife, and quietly left.

Thinking of the suffering everyone had endured, especially the tragic fate of Zhao Tianming's family, Lin Chong's anger burned uncontrollably. He knew he bore the responsibility of seeking justice for everyone, and the source of all this was the arrogant and domineering Gao Yanei.

Lin Chong walked with firm steps, his mind filled with only one thought: "Gao Yanei, tonight will be your end!" Under the cover of night, he strode quickly toward the city.

Throughout the journey, Lin Chong's mind was filled with the various evil deeds of Gao Yanei and the family hatred he had endured. His once happy life had been shattered by Gao Yanei and his gang, and he vowed to make Gao Yanei pay a terrible price.

When Lin Chong arrived at the city gate, it was already closed. But this did not stop him; with his exceptional skills, he easily scaled the city wall and entered the city.

The city streets were deserted, with only the distant echoes of the night watchman's voice. Lin Chong carefully avoided the patrolling soldiers and crept towards Gao Yanei's residence.

Finally, he arrived at the gate of Gao Yanei's mansion. The gate was tightly closed, with two guards standing watch. Lin Chong hid in the shadows, observing the surrounding situation.

Taking advantage of a moment of relaxation in the guards' vigilance, Lin Chong darted out like a ghost, instantly subduing two guards. He gently pushed open the gate and slipped inside.

The mansion was quiet as Lin Chong carefully searched for Gao Yanei. Suddenly, he heard Gao Yanei's laughter coming from one of the rooms.

Lin Chong gripped his knife tightly and kicked open the door. Inside, Gao Yanei and Wang Zhiqiang were drinking and making merry. They were all stunned to see Lin Chong suddenly burst in.

"Lin Chong, what have you done..." Gao Yanei exclaimed in horror.

Lin Chong's eyes widened in fury, and he shouted, "Gao Yanei, today is your death day!" With that, Lin Chong brandished his knife and charged towards Gao Yanei.

At this moment, Gao Ke revealed a wicked smile and said to Lin Chong, "Instructor Lin, let's talk things out. Why are we fighting?" His smile was sinister and cunning, but his eyes kept flashing, clearly showing that he was very afraid, but he still tried to calm Lin Chong down with his words.

Lin Chong glared at him, his eyes burning with fury, and roared, "Enough nonsense, give me your life!" Lin Chong's roar was like thunder, making the whole room seem to tremble.

Gao Ke was startled by Lin Chong's imposing manner, but his survival instinct kicked in instantly. He swiftly reached out and hurled a heavy wine jar from the table at Lin Chong. The jar whistled through the air, but Lin Chong reacted with lightning speed, sidestepping the jar as it grazed his shoulder and shattered against the wall behind him with a crash, sending wine and shards flying everywhere.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Gao Ke disregarded everything else, grabbed the equally panicked Gao Yanei beside him, and turned to run wildly towards the door. Their footsteps echoed in the room, sounding extremely chaotic.

Wang Zhiqiang stood to the side, his face pale with fright from the sudden turn of events. Seeing Lin Chong's murderous gaze and Gao Ke's disheveled escape, he felt a warm sensation between his legs and wet himself. He collapsed to the ground, muttering incoherently, "Spare me, spare me..."

Lin Chong was not about to let Gao Ke and Gao Yanei escape so easily. He kicked off the ground and chased after them like an arrow.

Gao Ke and Gao Yanei rushed out of the room and ran desperately down the corridor. Lin Chong chased after them closely, the knife in his hand gleaming coldly in the moonlight.

They ran into a spacious courtyard, where Gao Ke and Gao Yanei tripped over a stone and both fell forward. Lin Chong seized the opportunity, raised his knife high, and shouted, "You won't escape today!"

Ignoring his pain, Gao Ke quickly got up and continued dragging Gao Yanei along. Gao Yanei was terrified and could only let Gao Ke drag him along.

Hearing the commotion, some of the servants in the courtyard rushed over with their weapons. Lin Chong, undaunted, met the lead servant head-on. The servant raised his club and swung it at Lin Chong, who dodged to the side and simultaneously kicked the servant in the stomach. The servant screamed and fell to the ground.

Another servant attacked from the side, and Lin Chong swung his knife, breaking the servant's staff in two. Then, with another slash, he cut the servant's arm.

While Lin Chong was entangled with the servants, Gao Ke and Gao Yanei continued to flee into the distance. Lin Chong was extremely anxious and struggled to break free from the servants' encirclement, chasing after their retreating figures.

At this moment, several more servants surrounded him, trying to stop Lin Chong. Lin Chong slashed left and right, and amidst the flashing light of his blade, the servants were injured and fell to the ground.

Lin Chong finally broke free from the servants' obstruction and continued to chase after Gao Ke and Gao Yanei. He had only one thought in his mind: he must make these two villains pay for their crimes in blood!

As Gao Yanei ran in a disheveled state, he looked back in terror and shouted into the shadows, "Master Wufeng, save me!" His voice was sharp and shrill due to extreme fear.

Just as Lin Chong's blade was about to strike Gao Yanei, Wu Feng appeared like a ghost, blocking Lin Chong's fierce attack. Lin Chong felt a powerful force surge through him, and his blade nearly slipped from his grasp.

Lin Chong glared at Wu Feng and shouted, "You sorcerer, how dare you aid and abet evil!"

Wu Feng looked coldly at Lin Chong and said, "Instructor Lin, why be so persistent? Going against Gao Yanei will not do you any good."

Lin Chong's eyes widened as he roared, "He has committed countless evils and oppressed the good. Today, I, Lin Chong, will take his life!"

Wu Feng smiled slightly and said, "Instructor Lin, don't be impulsive. Gao Yanei is a nobleman. If you hurt him, you will be making an enemy of the entire elite class."

Lin Chong spat and cursed, "What powerful and wealthy people? You're all a bunch of treacherous dogs who bring disaster to the country and its people! I, Lin Chong, am a man of integrity, why would I be afraid of you!"

Wu Feng's face darkened, and he said, "Since Instructor Lin is so ungrateful, don't blame me for being impolite."

Lin Chong showed no fear and replied, "Come on, I want to see what you, this sorcerer, are capable of!"

Having said that, Lin Chong swung his sword at Wu Feng again. Wu Feng dodged to the side, and at the same time, a staff appeared in his hand, which he pointed at Lin Chong. Lin Chong quickly defended and blocked the staff with his sword.

The two exchanged blows, exchanging dozens of moves in an instant. Lin Chong grew increasingly fierce, his swordsmanship sharp and each strike carrying a deadly intent. Wu Feng, on the other hand, used his unpredictable movements and magic to contend with Lin Chong.

While fending off Lin Chong's attacks, Wu Feng said, "Instructor Lin, you're courting death."

Lin Chong shouted back, "Even if I, Lin Chong, die today, I will drag this villain down with me!"

Lin Chong's attacks grew increasingly fierce, and Wu Feng gradually began to feel the strain. He thought to himself that he could not continue to entangle with Lin Chong like this.

Then, Wu Feng began chanting incantations, and suddenly a fierce wind arose, whipping up sand and stones. Lin Chong's vision was obstructed, but he still gripped his knife tightly, watching Wu Feng's direction warily.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Wu Feng waved his staff, and a black beam of light shot towards Lin Chong. Lin Chong was unable to dodge in time and was struck by the light, his body swaying.

But he quickly regained his footing and charged at Wu Feng again, roaring, "Demon, today it's either you or me!"
