"Does Liangshan really trust them with the salt fortress?"
"If you doubt someone, don't use them; if you use someone, don't doubt them."
Sun Xin laughed,
"Isn't Zhao Dalang, the leader of Liangshan, famous throughout the martial arts world for his magnanimity?"
"Since Zou Yuan and his nephew Zou Run have already joined Liangshan,"
"Then he will naturally make good use of his talents."
"Hmph, you think too highly of Liangshan,"
Sick Yuchi couldn't help but retort,
"Don't forget, Liangshan also occupied the original Dengzhou water fortress,"
"Even considering Zou Yuan and his nephew Zou Run,"
"Now he is the head of Liangshan Salt Village,"
"But if they really have any ulterior motives,"
"Then the Liangshan navy will naturally not let them pass by."
"Furthermore,"
Sun Li sneered.
"The coarse salt from that salt village,"
“It is incredibly precious to us,”
"But for Liangshan, that's probably all there is to it."
"If the Liangshan chieftain truly trusts those uncle and nephew,"
"We should take them back to the main stronghold of Liangshan Marsh,"
"Stay in this remote salt village of Dengzhou,"
"Where will there be a chance for advancement in the future!"
"There's something your uncle might not know,"
Sister-in-law Gu chimed in,
"The two brothers, Jie Zhen and Jie Bao,"
"They were taken back to the marsh by the leader of Liangshan!"
"what?"
Sun Li was stunned for a moment.
Obviously, they didn't expect it to turn out this way.
"Those two uncles, Zou Yuan and Zou Run, were originally the leaders of Dengyun Mountain,"
"Shouldn't they be better than those two hunters, Jie Zhen and Jie Bao?"
"How can the Liangshan chieftain act like this...."
Sister-in-law Gu could tell that
This illness is attributed to Yuchi Sunli.
Or from the bottom of my heart,
They looked down on the brothers Xie Zhen and Xie Bao.
He immediately became somewhat displeased.
"What's wrong with the brothers Jie Zhen and Jie Bao?"
"In terms of martial arts, those two might not be as good as you, Uncle,"
"But few could rival them,"
"Back then, if you had helped even a little bit, Uncle,"
"Make arrangements for the two of them,"
"With those two brothers' skills, they wouldn't just be two hunters!"
"Why are you bringing this up again?"
Sickly Yuchi looked utterly embarrassed.
“I wasn’t looking down on hunters when I spoke,”
"I'm just worried about the two brothers, Jie Zhen and Jie Bao,"
"Don't be fooled by Liangshan..."

"Liangshan is a famous stronghold throughout the land,"
Sister-in-law Gu retorted,
"How could they possibly lie?"
"Besides, the two brothers, Jie Zhen and Jie Bao,"
"Besides his martial arts skills, what else does he have?"
"Would it be worth Liangshan deceiving?"
Sickly Yuchi was rendered speechless by the rebuttal.
Tie Jiaozi quickly spoke again to ease the tension.
"If that's the case,"
"Perhaps the brothers Jie Zhen and Jie Bao will be given important positions by Liangshan?"
"Humph,"
Sick Yuchi muttered something indignantly.
"It's just a trip to Liangshan Marsh,"
"Maybe he'll just be doing odd jobs up the mountain."
"Not going to Liangshan was a sign of not being valued; going to the Water Margin is a sign of being valued."
Sister-in-law Gu said sarcastically.
"Why has everything changed so suddenly?"
Sickly Yuchi was so angry that his face turned ashen.
He did find it hard to accept.
The hunter brothers whom I used to look down on.
Jie Zhen and Jie Bao,
It's surprising that Liangshan would value them.
That's why I lost my composure and said those things.
".....alright,"
Sun Xin quickly tried to smooth things over.
"You should all get some rest."
"We have to set off for Qingfeng Mountain tomorrow morning!"
Although it was unpleasant...
But these four people are, after all, genuine relatives.
Even if you break a bone, the tendons will still connect it.
The four of them had no choice but to continue their journey together.
.....
They had been traveling for six or seven days straight.
Sick Yuchi Sun Li, Little Yuchi Sun Xin, Mother Tiger Gu Dasao, and Iron-Called Le He,
The four men led over a hundred henchmen from Dengyun Mountain.
We finally entered the territory of Qingzhou.
But very soon,
The four men sent out scouts to gather henchmen.
They noticed that they seemed to be being watched by someone.
"Can you confirm the other party's identity?"
Lehe asked somewhat nervously.
"Judging from the looks of it, they are most likely government troops,"
The henchman replied,
"I've heard that the commander of Qingzhou Prefecture is called Dong Ping, the Double-Spear General,"
"This guy is a formidable opponent,"
"He previously led troops to attack Liangshan,"
"Although they were defeated by Liangshan,"
"But he escaped alone,"
"Upon arriving in Qingzhou, he gained the appreciation of Murong Yanda."
"Qingzhou now has over three thousand soldiers,"
"They are all under Dong Ping's command."
What is this person's personality like?
Sun Li asked with concern,
"If we continue forward,"
"Would this fellow lead his army to attack us?"
"It's highly likely,"
The henchman nodded.
"We've found out,"
"Besides his volatile temper,"
"He seems to still be eager to eliminate bandits and gain merit,"
"Previously, when the imperial court sent people to attack Liangshan,"
"These two spears will be accompanied by the troops of Qingzhou,"
"Go and attack Qingfeng Mountain!"
"Both sides have had wins and losses,"
"In the end, Dong Ping couldn't do anything to Qingfeng Mountain,"
"Qingfeng Mountain can only defend its stronghold; it cannot repel the government troops."
"If that's the case,"
Sun Xinde's expression immediately turned sour.
"If we continue forward,"
"Is there a high chance I'll be entangled with that guy?"
