After seeing Zhao Yuan and his group off,
Pang Qiuyan couldn't help but ask,
"Brother, do you really think this Master Zhao has a way to get us out of Mingzhou?"
"Don't worry, it'll definitely work,"
Pang Wanchun nodded.
"Brother, how could you trust him so much?"
Pang Qiuyan asked, puzzled.
Even if he were that Little Li Guang Hua Rong,
"My archery skills are no less than yours."
"But this is, after all, Jiangnan, this is Mingzhou,"
"It's the territory that the Ming Cult has acquired."
"And Hua Rong is from out of town,"
"We people from Jiangnan have no choice,"
"What can he, an outsider, do?"
"You saw the expression on Master Zhao's face just now,"
Pang Wanchun said,
"If I weren't so confident,"
"He won't come looking for us."
"Hua Rong followed Song Jiang, who was determined to be granted amnesty."
"They naturally disapproved of Fang La, who was determined to rebel,"
"So it's normal for them to want to sabotage the Ming Cult."
"Besides, even if it's about what happened at Taihu Lake before,"
"The Ming Cult will certainly not let this Master Zhao go."
"We didn't take action against him before only because Fang Tianding wanted to offer him amnesty."
"I reckon the Green Forest Gathering will be the day after tomorrow,"
"If Zhao Da still doesn't give Fang Tianding an answer,"
"At that time, the Ming Cult will settle all scores with him, both old and new."
"But look at Master Zhao, did he look anxious just now?"
"I still don't believe it,"
Pang Qiuyan pursed her lips.
"How can someone from out of town have such great abilities?"
"Just now you were saying that even three or five hundred people could be brought out of Mingzhou,"
"Who does he think he is?"
"Zhao Da is our last hope now,"
Pang Wanchun sighed.
"Besides him, is there any other way for us to leave Minnesota?"
"For us, the best course of action is still prayer,"
"So Zhao Da really has a way to get us out of Mingzhou?"
"Otherwise, my brother and I, besides seeking refuge with the Ming Cult,"
"Then there really will be no way out."
......
A small courtyard in Minnesota.
Fang Tianding was discussing matters with Lü Shinang.
Lü Shinang was in charge of the Ming Cult's affairs in Deming Prefecture.
He had twelve powerful leaders under his command: Shen Gang, the Sky-Supporting God of Fuzhou; Pan Wende, the Wandering God of Shezhou; Ying Ming, the Divine Strategist of Muzhou; Xu Tong, the Six Ding God of Mingzhou; Zhang Jinren, the Thunder God of Yuezhou; and Shen Ze, the Giant Spirit God of Hangzhou.
Taibai God Zhao Yi of Huzhou, Tai Sui God Gao Keli of Xuanzhou, Diaoke God Fan Chou of Changzhou, Huangfan God Zhuo Wanli of Runzhou, Baowei God He Tong of Jiangzhou, and Sangmen God Shen Qie of Suzhou.
These twelve people included some who were originally followers of the Ming Cult, and others who were leaders of the Green Forest Mountain strongholds under Lü Shinang's command.
"Young Master, Mingzhou City has been completely sealed off."
Lu Shi Nang laughed.
"There are no orders from our Ming Cult in this Mingzhou City now,"
"Not even a fly can escape."
"That's good,"
Fang Tianding nodded.
"What about the government?"
"Won't they show up and get in the way then?"
"Rest assured, Young Master,"
Master Lü assured him,
"Young Master, you know that the county magistrate of Mingzhou is in charge,"
"Just slip the money into his hand,"
"Even if something catastrophic happens in Mingzhou,"
"That corrupt official won't care."
"Oh, and there's also the estuary of Moon Lake,"
Fang Tianding reminded him,
"Of the men in Jiangnan, nine out of ten can swim."
"If the waterways are not also blocked,"
"At that time, I'm afraid we really won't be able to wipe them all out."
"I've also prepared for this,"
Lu Shi Nang laughed.
"That Moon Lake has an inlet to the sea,"
"I ordered my subordinates, the Yellow Banner God Zhuo Wanli, the Leopard Tail God He Tong, and the Mourning God Shen Suo, to... [unintelligible]!"
"Don't even mention a living person,"
"Even if it's a big fish, it won't be able to leave the estuary of Moon Lake that day."
"Okay, that's good."
Fang Tianding nodded in satisfaction.
Lu Shinang pondered for a moment,
He still spoke up.
"Young Master, the only thing we can worry about now is Liangshan!"
"They had ten warships and over a thousand soldiers off the coast of Minnesota."
"Previously, the government's navy in Mingzhou was defeated by them."
"The naval forces we can mobilize this time are no match for those of the government..."
"If Liangshan suddenly makes a move, I'm afraid my three men alone won't be able to stop them at all..."
Chapter 1238 Delivery
"You don't need to worry about that,"
Fang Tianding said with a smile,
"I've already made arrangements for Liangshan,"
"Their purpose in coming to Jiangnan this time is to purchase seagoing vessels and timber for shipbuilding."
“Even that Ye Chun we found before,”
"Now it has fallen into the hands of Liangshan."
"Ye Chun?"
Lu Shi Nang asked,
"Is he the one who followed the Four Dragons of Zhejiang to build ships and train troops on Dongting Mountain in Taihu Lake?"
"Um,"
Fang Tianding nodded.
"The cult leader was originally counting on Ye Chun to build his large and small shovel boats in Taihu Lake,"
"In the future, whether dealing with government troops or not,"
"The Liangshan Marsh is still a powerful weapon."
"Who knew those four Zhejiang dragons would be so utterly useless,"
"They can't even keep an eye on a shipwright like him,"
"He actually managed to get onto the Liangshan ship."
"In the end, three of the four died,"
"Only Xie Fu, the pearl-playing dragon, remained; he became a traitor,"
"He saved his dog's life by surrendering to Liangshan."
"Young Master, since Xie Fu has surrendered to Liangshan,"
Lu Shinang said worriedly,
"Then we need to make a plan, what if...?"
"Don't worry, it's just to keep those Liangshan people out of the way,"
Fang Tianding said,
"I've already contacted the owner of that shipyard in Minnesota,"
"Gather all the timber and ships that Liangshan needs."
"Tomorrow, hand these things over to Liangshan,"
"They will immediately head north back to Shandong."
"It will absolutely not involve anything we do in Minnesota."
"Can you be sure?"
Lu Shinang said,
"What if they don't leave..."
"I'm worried they won't leave, so I've recently arranged for someone to do so."
Fang Tianding said smugly,
"The rumors have spread throughout Jiangnan, and internal strife has broken out at Liangshan,"
"Zhao Dalang from Tokyo was also seriously injured, and his fate is unknown."
