"It's all because of Song Jiang, who was too obsessed with being granted amnesty, that's why..."
Chapter 1317 Little Li Guang Joins Liangshan
Having said that,
Zhao Yuan looked around curiously.
"What about Song Jiang, Wu Yong, Lei Heng, and the others?"
"Brother Zhao, Song Jiang fled overnight the night before last."
Hua Xiaomei immediately spoke up.
"When they left, they took all the gold and silver treasures from the village,"
"They also took over a thousand bushels of grain with them."
"Gone? Where did you go?"
Zhao Yuan frowned and asked.
"They must have gone to Erlong Mountain,"
Flower Girl replied,
"Half a month ago, after learning that you, Brother Zhao, had sent someone to Qingfeng Mountain,"
"Then Song Jiang sent the Kong brothers to deal with the stronghold at Erlong Mountain,"
"They must have fled there by now."
"Chief Zhao, Song Jiang might be involved in the death of Chao Tianwang,"
Liu Tang stepped forward and spoke.
"Let's fight our way to Erlong Mountain!"
"Take down Song Jiang and Lei Heng,"
"Tell me properly, how exactly did King Chao die?"
"Chao Tianwang was indeed unjustly killed,"
Zhao Yuan shook his head and said,
"But to say that he was killed by Song Jiang,"
"First of all, there must be solid evidence."
"Brother Liu Tang, there are some things..."
"Without solid evidence, it's not appropriate for Liangshan to get involved."
"Otherwise, you might accidentally be accused of bullying the weak!"
"But......"
Liu Tang wanted something else.
Gongsun Sheng quickly stopped him.
He leaned close to the red-haired demon's ear and whispered something.
"Stop talking, this is indeed a difficult matter."
"If you say that again, you'll be putting Chief Zhao in a difficult position."
Liu Tang left in frustration.
The crowd welcomed Zhao Yuan into the main hall of Qingfeng Village.
Later, during the banquet,
Hua Xiaomei recounted the recent events that occurred on Qingfeng Mountain.
Everything was explained in detail.
“Brother Zhao, my brother was wrong to trust Song Jiang before,”
Hua Xiaomei spoke up for her brother Hua Rong.
"Now, Song Jiang is doing this for the sake of being granted amnesty,"
"Disregarding past relationships,"
"They even tried to frame my own brother!"
“My brother has now parted ways with Song Jiang,”
"Brother Zhao, could you...?"
"If Magistrate Hua is willing to come to Liangshan,"
Before Hua Xiaomei could finish speaking,
Zhao Yuan then smiled with delight.
"Of course I'd love to!"
"Brother,"
Hua Xiaomei quickly and happily looked at Hua Rong.
"Thank you for taking me in, Chief Zhao,"
Hua Rong cupped his hands in a complicated gesture.
"Alright, Magistrate Hua,"
Zhao Yuan comforted him,
Let bygones be bygones.
"There's no point in dwelling on it any longer."
"It's better to relax and forget all about it!"
"There's something that Magistrate Hua might not know yet,"
"When I went south before,"
"In Jiangnan, I met a sharpshooter nicknamed 'Little Yang Youji',"
"This man's surname is Pang, and his given name is Wanchun,"
"He is the chieftain of Siming Mountain in Jiangnan."
"You could say that he and Hua Zhizhai are two great archers, one in the south and one in the north."
"Now even Chief Pang has joined Liangshan,"
"It's a perfect opportunity to test my archery skills against Magistrate Hua."
Hearing that someone was his equal in archery skills,
Hua Rong immediately forgot about Song Jiang's troubles.
He eagerly anticipated meeting Pang Wanchun.
Here
Seeing that Hua Rong had already obtained Zhao Yuan's approval,
Gongsun Sheng and the others exchanged glances.
They then followed suit...
Chapter 1318 Let's Go to Liangshan Together
"Chief Zhao,"
Gongsun Sheng bowed and said...
“Our brothers,”
"I've always followed King Chao."
"From Yuncheng, we arrived at Qingfeng Mountain."
"Chao Tianwang has already gone ahead of us,"
"The few of us left have nowhere to go."
"We humbly request that Chief Zhao take us in."
"Let's all go to Liangshan together and join the heroes..."
"Master Gongsun,"
Zhao Yuan pondered for a moment,
"I'm quite familiar with these people,"
"Are you all willing to join Liangshan?"
"Of course I would welcome it."
"But we need to make things clear first,"
“Our Liangshan is different from ordinary bandit strongholds,”
"Since you all intend to join Liangshan,"
"Once we get to the mountain, we must abide by the rules of Liangshan."
"On Liangshan, the most important thing is military discipline,"
"Once you're on the mountain, if you violate any military regulations,"
"Even I cannot stop the military judge from carrying out the execution."
"Chief Zhao, please rest assured,"
Gongsun Sheng laughed,
"We've already heard about the rules of Liangshan from Magistrate Hua."
"Since we're going to Liangshan, we've naturally made all the necessary preparations."
"Once we get to the mountain, we will definitely abide by the military laws and regulations of Liangshan."
Liu Tang, Zhu Tong, Li Zhong, and Bai Sheng were standing nearby.
They quickly said in unison,
"Don't worry, Chief Zhao, we will definitely abide by the military laws and regulations of Liangshan!"
"Very well, when I return this time, you will all come with me back to Liangshan."
Zhao Yuan nodded.
He agreed to let several people seek refuge with him.
Gongsun Sheng and his companions were overjoyed.
They all picked up the wine bowls on the table to celebrate.
After everyone had a few more drinks,
The tigress, Sister-in-law Gu, also brought her husband, Little Yuchi Sun Xin, and Tie Jiaozi Le He.
He carried the wine bowl to Zhao Yuan's side.
"Chief Zhao, although I am a woman,"
Sister-in-law Gu said loudly,
"But I've been in this business for quite a few years now,"
“I have seen many heroes like Chief Zhao.”
"But there aren't many like Chief Zhao who are so dedicated to serving the people."
"Chief Zhao, my two brothers are on Liangshan Mountain. Please take good care of them, Chief."
