"Although the Zhu Family Village is a large village, it is ultimately just a village of ordinary people."
Zhao Yuan waved his hand with amusement.
"If the soldiers of Liangshan can't defeat them, then... wouldn't all my efforts in Liangshan over the past six months have been in vain?"
"I've also heard that when Wang Lun, the white-robed scholar, was the leader of Liangshan about half a year ago, although it had a great location, it was still relatively unknown in the martial arts world."
Gao Liang sighed.
"No one expected that Chief Zhao from Tokyo would bring about earth-shaking changes to Liangshan in just over half a year after taking over."
Mint, who was nearby, heard this,
Unable to resist interjecting,
"I don't know why, we've been up the mountain for two months, but we still can't run into Chief Zhao!"
"There are so many things going on at Liangshan, isn't it normal that we don't see each other often?"
Buddha's Hand rolled its eyes at Mint.
"Take our magistrate of Mengyin County, for example. How many times a year can you actually see him?"
"In terms of territory, Liangshan's current area is even larger than Mengyin County. That Chief Zhao must be much busier than our county magistrate..."
Chapter 405 Hu Cheng
"That's a real shame,"
Gaoliang also laughed,
"The three of us went up Liangshan once, but we didn't even see the leader of Liangshan."
"If Madam Gao really wishes to see my chieftain, I will introduce you when we return this time, what do you say?"
Zhao Yuan asked with a light laugh.
This sorghum is highly skilled in martial arts.
Many men cannot compare to her.
Although she said this trip to Zhujiazhuang,
This was solely to repay the kindness of Liangshan in saving her father's life.
But if we could take the opportunity to keep her here...
For Liangshan, that was...
This clearly adds significant combat power.
Even if we can't keep them here,
Let's make a good connection.
It's always a good thing.
After all, this mirror-like sorghum,
In the timeline of "The Suppression of Bandits and the Victory of the Bandits"
However, he had captured Li Kui alive twice.
He was able to fight against Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen, and Wu Song, among others.
"Then it's settled!"
Gao Liang laughed heartily.
Reaching out to pick up the wine glass
"Before that, I wish Liangshan a great victory!"
"Thank you!"
Zhao Yuan picked up his wine cup.
The two made a light touch.
Then he drank it all in one gulp.
........
Deepest part of Zhujiazhuang
Zhu Taigong obtained a residence.
Shi Qian took advantage of the darkness,
Explore along the way,
We have arrived at the entrance to the dungeon we found last time.
Just as he had guessed,
Because of the great defeat of Luan Tingyu and others,
Losing one-third of their soldiers
The village lacked sufficient troops for nighttime defense.
Previously, there were four men guarding the dungeon.
Three people have already been transferred elsewhere.
At the dungeon entrance, only one man remained, holding a long spear.
He was yawning and standing guard at the gate.
With the destination in sight,
Shi Qian was not in a hurry.
They just lay there quietly on the roof, waiting.
Another half hour passed,
When the gatekeeper leaned on his long spear,
While leaning against the wall and fast asleep,
Shi Qian then spiraled down the pillar.
First, quietly take the dungeon key from the guard's waist.
He then tiptoed to open the dungeon gate and slipped inside.
This dungeon was the Zhu family's private prison.
It's not very big inside.
In the dimly lit corridor,
Several oil lamps were lit on both sides.
Looking around,
There were only six prison cells.
Shi Qian went to each of them one by one.
The first five cells were empty.
When they reached the innermost cell,
Inside, on top of thatch,
But he was facing the wall.
Lying there was a man with a sorrowful face.
Hearing footsteps behind,
The man didn't turn around.
He simply opened his mouth and said,
"Zhu Biao, my sister has already said she would never marry you, so you should just give up on that idea."
"Even if you disagree, as long as you are in the hands of the Zhu Family Village, how dare Hu Sanniang refuse Zhu Biao's demands!"
Shi Qian shook his head and sighed.
"That voice, isn't that Zhu Biao's?"
The man in the cell suddenly turned around.
Looking at Shi Qian outside with a puzzled expression,
"This is the Zhu family's dungeon. How did you manage to sneak in, man?"
Shi Qian carefully examined the man's appearance.
Indeed, it bore some resemblance to the portrait of Hu Cheng.
And then I heard him speak just now,
He immediately realized that this person must be Hu Sanniang's brother, Hu Cheng.
"Master Hu, don't worry, I'll get you out right away!"
Shi Qian picked up the key and was about to open the prison cell door.
But after trying for a long time,
The iron lock on the door couldn't be opened at all.
“Brother, the key to this cell door is personally kept by Zhu Biao. Without his key, you can't open this door at all,”
Hu Cheng couldn't help but remind him.
"Bah! I refuse to believe that there's anything in this world that can stump me, the Flea on the Drum!"
Shi Qian spat at the prison door.
He then took out an extremely thin copper wire from his person.
Then he lay down on the cell door.
He started fiddling with the iron lock.
Before joining Liangshan,
Shi Qian travels the world.
He relied on his exceptional lightness skill.
And the skill of theft.
The iron lock on this wooden cell was exquisite.
But that didn't stump him.
In just a short while
The two people in the dungeon heard a "click".
The copper lock had already been opened by Shi Qian using a thin copper wire.
.. ........ .......
"Master Hu, I've opened the lock."
Shi Qian smiled smugly.
Hu Cheng limped out of the prison gate.
He asked, his face full of surprise.
"The Flea on the Drum? Are you perhaps a leader from Liangshan?"
"Hehe, it's good that Master Hu knows,"
Shi Qian recalled what Hu Cheng had just said.
He still doesn't understand.
Hu Sanniang had already been tricked by Zhu Biao into going to the Zhu Family Village.
