Rippling blue waves
Zhao Yuan and the others stood at the bow of the boat.
For a while,
I suddenly remembered Liangshan Marsh!
"Brother, the scenery here is no less beautiful than our own waterside marshland!"
Jiao Ting couldn't help but say.
"If you ask me, the environment here is much better than our lakeside village,"
Zhang Shun commented.
"Our Liangshan Marsh is shallow; even at its deepest point, it's less than three zhang (approximately 10 meters) deep."
"Secondly, there are too many reeds and bushes in the pond,"
“I used to swim in that pond,”
"I always feel a bit stifled,"
"It's not like swimming in the Yangtze River before,"
"It was a great trip!"
"The Taihu Lake in front of me gives me a feeling similar to that of the Yangtze River back then."
“Our pond is indeed too small,”
Zhao Yuan couldn't help but sigh as well.
"Over the past six months, as more and more people have come up the mountain,"
"Let alone Brother Zhang Shun, who has traversed countless rivers and lakes,"
"Even I sometimes feel too stifled."
"Feeling stifled? I think it's great!"
Jiao Ting looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression.
"Our Liangshan is bustling with activity right now,"
"Isn't it great?"
“You don’t understand your brother’s ambitions,”
Zhang Shun laughed.
"My brother's ambition lies in the world,"
"They just think our lake is too small."
"Hehe, that's true,"
Jiao Ting nodded in agreement.
"Brother, let's defeat the imperial army that came to suppress the bandits next year,"
"Does that mean we can openly raise the flag of rebellion?"
"Not urgent,"
Zhao Yuan shook his head.
"You think this rebellion is a rebellion against the enemy?"
"Does that mean whoever starts the fight gains the advantage?"
"Is not it?"
Jiao Ting asked in bewilderment,
"In these kinds of situations, it's not always about who's the first to step forward,"
"Who is the leader?"
"Whoever is the first to step forward will be the one the court hates the most,"
Zhao Yuan sneered.
"And who will ultimately win,"
"It's not about who steps forward first,"
"Let's see who's the strongest!"
"We, Liangshan, want to seize this world!"
"We must train our troops more, stockpile grain, and delay declaring ourselves king!"
"Rebellion is a matter of paramount importance,"
"You can't get things done by being impatient."
The three of them stood at the bow of the boat chatting.
The surrounding area is blocked.
They were all Zhao Yuan's personal guards.
There's no need to worry, of course.
What they said,
The boatman overheard it!
The three of them were chatting.
While enjoying the beautiful scenery of Taihu Lake,
The cruise ship quickly glided across most of Taihu Lake.
Seeing that Dongting Mountain was not far away,
The cruise ship suddenly stopped.
"what happened?"
Zhao Yuan asked in surprise,
Why didn't you move forward?
"I'll go ask the boatman,"
After Zhang Shun finished speaking, he walked towards the stern of the boat.
There are two boatmen there.
He was punting along the boat pole, looking at the Dongting Mountains not far away.
"Why have you two elderly people stopped walking?"
Zhang Shun walked over and asked.
"We still want to go to Dongting Mountain,"
"Let's go see the scenery on that mountain."
"Sir, it's not that we're unwilling to move forward,"
An old boatman explained,
"Gentlemen, you have come from afar,"
"I don't know the situation of Taihu Lake."
"In the past, there was Taihu Lake and Dongting Mountain,"
"Of course everyone can go up."
"But since two months ago,"
"A group of bandits went up Dongting Mountain,"
"After setting up camp on the mountain,"
"We can't go up Dongting Mountain!"
"Although these bandits don't forbid our pleasure boats and fishing boats from rowing on Taihu Lake,"
"But they forbade us from getting any closer to Dongting Mountain."
"Is there such a thing?"
Zhang Shun exclaimed in surprise.
"Old man, do you know the name of that bandit from Dongting Mountain?"
"There are four great kings on Dongting Mountain,"
The old boatman thought for a moment.
"They are respectively named Jade Claw Dragon Cheng Gui, Pearl-Playing Dragon Xie Fu, Brocade Scale Dragon Zhai Yuan, and Wave-Rushing Dragon Qiao Zheng,"
"These four used to hang out in Zhejiang and were known as the Four Dragons of Zhejiang."
"Some time ago, I don't know why,"
"Once we arrive at Dongting Mountain, we'll seize the mountain and become kings, recruiting soldiers and horses on a massive scale!"
"Since then, Dongting Mountain has become inaccessible."
.....
Zhang Shun returned to the bow of the boat.
The situation on Dongting Mountain
He told Zhao Yuan.
"Brother, are we still going to Dongting Mountain?"
"If we're going, let one of our men row the boat..."
"Never mind, let's not cause trouble for others."
Zhao Yuan shook his head.
In his impression, these four dragons of Zhejiang
He was likely a naval commander under Fang La.
Unexpectedly, Fei Bao and his three companions left Taihu Lake.
Instead, these four Zhejiang dragons have taken over Taihu Lake...
Chapter 1196 Water Fortress Blocking the Way
Zhao Yuan didn't know either.
Whether or not the Four Dragons of Zhejiang have now submitted to Fang La remains to be seen.
but,
According to the old boatman,
These four used to hang out in Zhejiang.
Recently, however, I suddenly found myself at Taihu Lake.
In Zhao Yuan's opinion
These four people are most likely...
They have already pledged allegiance to the Ming Cult.
This time, they established themselves as kings of the mountains around Dongting Lake.
This was also in accordance with Fang La's wishes.
Training soldiers on this mountain.
To prepare for a future rebellion.
