He glanced at Huyan Zhuo cautiously.

Only then did he inquire.

"General, what are your plans for the future...?"

"what about you?"

Huyan Zhuo countered with a question,

"We..."

Han Tao and Peng Qi exchanged a glance.

After a moment of silence,

Han Tao gritted his teeth and...

He opened his mouth and said,

"We want to wait until our family arrives,"

"If Liangshan really protected our family's safety,"

"Then the two of us will stay at Liangshan and serve them to the death!"

"You want to become outlaws?"

Huyan Zhuo frowned.

"Why not leave Liangshan?"

"Don't they want you to leave?"

"That's not true,"

Han Tao shook his head.

"Liangshan said that we can decide for ourselves whether to stay or leave,"

"only....."

Peng Qi interjected,

"But now, in the eyes of the imperial court, we have all become traitors,"

"He's wanted by the imperial court again,"

"Even if you hide your identity, once your identity is exposed,"

"I fear that we may face annihilation at any moment."

"Besides, we're both martial artists,"

"Besides joining the army, we are about to go down the mountain, and we don't know how to support our families."

"Rather than living a miserable life down in the mountains,"

"It would be better to stay on Liangshan Mountain, where I can still put my talents to good use."

"But what about the imperial court..."

Huyan Zhuo hesitated, as if he wanted to speak.

"It was the imperial court that didn't want us first,"

Peng Qi shook his head and said,

"Since those high-ranking officials in Bianliang don't trust us."

"Why should we risk our lives for them!"

Huyan Zhuo fell silent immediately.

In his heart,

I couldn't help but agree with the two of them.

Rather than changing one's name,

Hiding in the east and west

It would be much better to show off one's skills on Liangshan Mountain.

but.....

Huyan Zhuo thought of his surname.

He came from the Huyan family, a prominent military clan.

Of course, one cannot act as recklessly as the two of them.

"General,"

Han Tao couldn't help but advise,

"Isn't Liangshan planning to fake our deaths over the next two days?"

"After that, General, you can change your name and stay at Liangshan, right?"

"that is!"

Peng Qi agreed from the side.

"The three of us were together back in Hebei,"

"If we could join the Liangshan outlaws together, we could at least look out for each other."

"this....."

Huyan Zhuo wanted to shake his head immediately,

But I don't know why.

Suddenly, he remembered what the Liangshan chieftain had said about the Jurchens' future southward invasion.

For military generals,

The best place to make a contribution.

It is undoubtedly a battlefield!

When foreign tribes invade...

Not only when military generals achieve merit,

This is also a great opportunity for them to make a name for themselves in history!

Huyan Zhuo naturally also harbored the ambition to achieve merit.

This gives the surname Huyan a chance to be recorded in history.

But Liangshan...

Huyan Zhuo still harbored some distrust.

But then,

He gave a wry smile.

Now we must be wary of those Jurchens.

I'm afraid only Liangshan can do it.

At the court,

Those officials who followed the six traitors,

Everyone is praising the alliance with the Jin against the Liao.

Meanwhile, the northern regions gained military generals and soldiers.

Over the past century,

They had long since fallen into depravity and decadence.

Even if the imperial court eventually discovers that the Jurchens harbor wolfish ambitions,

They wanted to rely on the soldiers from the north to hold off the Jin army.

I'm afraid there's absolutely no chance!

"General!"

Han Tao and Peng Qi wanted to say more words of persuasion,

Huyan Zhuo, however, had already shaken his head.

"Alright, the three of us have all survived a calamity today, and it's a rare occasion to meet again,"

"Tonight we'll just drink; we can talk about everything else later!"

"Can....."

Peng Qi wanted to persuade him further.

Han Tao quickly and quietly tugged at him.

He has noticed that

In Huyan Zhuo's words,

They didn't immediately refuse.

this means,

Huyan Zhuo was already tempted.

I just can't make up my mind yet.

Instead of continuing to persuade them now,

This annoyed Huyan Zhuo.

It's better to figure out a solution later.

Tonight is the day for Liangshan to celebrate their victory over the government troops.

But Huyan Zhuo and the other two

As a defeated general,

Faced with such a celebration,

Naturally, it was incredibly awkward.

So, on the Liangshan side...

So he didn't greet the three of them.

It only allows the soldiers,

Give it to them.

They also sent over a banquet.

Huyan Zhuo and his companions survived the ordeal.

Now the three of them meet,

That naturally means eating meat and drinking wine to one's heart's content.

After several rounds of drinks,

The three of them quickly became quite drunk...

Chapter 896 Drunkenness

He was slurping alcohol in his mouth.

His face was already flushed from drinking.

Han Tao was drunk.

At this time, while holding the cup,

He couldn't help but speak up.
