Ultimately, I couldn't help but feel a sense of shared sorrow, like the fox mourning the death of its kin.
When Yang Zhi led him to the front and back of the courtyard of Zhu Taigong's house...
Li Ying didn't have time to think about anything else.
All that remained in my heart was unease.
He was already starting to regret it.
If it were before,
When the messenger from Liangshan came to their door,
The Li family was able to decisively agree to join forces with Liangshan to attack the Zhu family village.
Now there's no need to worry about how Liangshan will treat the Li Family Village!
Chapter 432 A Master of All Trades
Following behind Yang Zhi and Li Kui,
We walked into the main hall of the Zhu Family Village.
There were only two people in the room.
One was dressed as a scholar, with delicate features, resembling a learned man.
The other person was handsome.
He was also tall and strong.
No need for Yang Zhi's introduction,
Li Ying immediately recognized the two men's identities.
They hurriedly led Du Xing forward to pay their respects.
"Li Ying has met the chief of Liangshan."
"Master Li, you're too kind,"
Zhao Yuan casually pointed to the chair next to him.
"Please take a seat."
After Li Ying sat down,
Zhao Yuan didn't rush to speak to him.
Instead, he coldly looked at Li Kui, who looked completely guilty.
"Tie Niu! Didn't I already give the order that Zhu Family Village has surrendered and that no further fighting is allowed? Why did you suddenly start fighting with Li Village?"
"Well...brother, I'm just a little itchy at 18,"
Li Kui, that dark-skinned fellow, said with a fawning smile.
"Besides, it only injured a horse, not a person..."
"Regardless of whether anyone was injured, a military order is a military order!"
Zhao Yuan shouted coldly,
"What are you still doing here? Get to the military court and get your flogging!"
"...Fine, I'll go!"
Li Kui stubbornly replied with a sound of agreement.
Then they were about to leave the hall.
At this moment, Li Ying, who was standing to the side, saw that this dark-skinned man was about to be subjected to military law because of him.
Although this is something he brought upon himself,
But this matter ultimately concerns me.
Li Ying still doesn't know how Liangshan will deal with the Li Family Village.
Naturally, they didn't want to offend anyone at this time.
He quickly got up and began to plead for mercy.
"Chief Zhao, that was just a misunderstanding, brother..."
Before the Sky-Soaring Eagle could finish speaking,
Li Kui, however, directly retorted.
"My brother wants to beat me with a military rod, what business is it of yours!"
"Brother said long ago that there is no mercy under military law! Are you trying to break the military law of Liangshan?"
Li Ying was speechless after being rebuked.
He never expected that his kind plea would backfire.
I never expected to receive such treatment.
And Li Kui,
Seeing that Li Ying was rendered speechless by him,
But he burst into triumphant laughter.
Then he walked out of the hall with cheerful steps.
He went to lead the army.
"I'm sorry, Master Li,"
Zhao Yuan said helplessly,
"My brother here is a muddle-headed fellow who can't tell right from wrong. Please don't take offense, Master."
"fine,"
Li Ying quickly shook his head.
"This brother has a pure and innocent heart, which is truly rare!"
The two exchanged a few polite words.
Xu Guanzhong glanced at Zhao Yuan,
He then directly asked Li Ying,
"When we sent our envoys to Li Family Village earlier, didn't the village chief say that he was unwilling to get involved in the war between Liangshan and Zhu Family Village?"
"Why are you bringing wine and meat to entertain the troops again?"
"this......"
Li Ying chuckled dryly and quickly explained,
“My Li family village and the Zhu family village have been neighbors for a long time on this Dulonggang. Before, I couldn’t bring myself to be their enemy.”
"Now that the Zhu Family Village has been defeated by Liangshan, it can be said that they deserve it."
"Liangshan has rid our Dulonggang of a scourge, so it is only right that we come here with wine and meat."
This person is indeed shrewd...
Zhao Yuan shook his head with amusement.
No wonder in the original timeline of Water Margin,
Dulonggang Sanzhuangli
In the end, only Li Ying, the Sky-Soaring Eagle, got a good ending.
Not only did they survive the battles fought by Liangshan in the south and north,
Later, after the Song court granted him an official position and made a promise,
Having clearly understood the situation, he decisively resigned from his post.
Not only did they save their own lives and Du Xing's,
Can we still return to this Dulonggang?
He continued to be a wealthy man.
Thinking of this,
Zhao Yuan then recalled Xu Guanzhong's earlier suggestion.
We recruited Li Ying, the soaring eagle, into our group.
Just this thought,
Zhao Yuan immediately rejected it.
Although Li Ying, the Sky-Soaring Eagle, possessed exceptional martial arts skills,
307's eagle-tail throwing knife...
It can be considered a renowned skill in the martial arts world.
However, this person's personality is too smooth.
All he wanted was to be his rich husband.
Even if they were forcibly brought up the mountain,
Such people
They certainly wouldn't genuinely submit to Liangshan.
Zhao Yuan was ultimately not Song Jiang.
Song Jiang didn't distinguish between good and bad, or between fragrant and foul.
They kept recruiting people from Liangshan.
Its purpose,
They were single-mindedly focused on increasing the prestige of Liangshan.
Fortunately, after attracting the attention of the Song court,
They were granted amnesty and promised official positions.
Zhao Yuan, however, was determined to expand and strengthen Liangshan.
In the future, it will be easier to seize the Song court and replace it.
In the early stages of starting a business,
It's clearly not appropriate to hire a scoundrel like Li Ying.
Thinking about this,
Zhao Yuan then lost interest in Li Ying, this soaring eagle.
I told Xu Guanzhong,
He nodded again to Li Ying and Du Xing.
Zhao Yuan then led Yang Zhi out of the hall...
Chapter 433 Jingyang Town
in the yard,
Yang Zhi asked, puzzled.
"Chief, I have just witnessed Li Yingde's martial arts skills,"
"Even within our Liangshan, it would rank in the top ten,"
"Why doesn't the chieftain recruit such a hero up the mountain?"
"A forced marriage will never be sweet, Commander Yang,"
Zhao Yuan laughed.
"I have said before that Liangshan will never force people to become bandits, and it will remain the same in the future."
