"Brother Yan Shun, could it be that you've already...?"
As Zheng Tianshou spoke, he slumped back into his chair, looking utterly defeated.
The people in the hall looked at each other in bewilderment.
When you don't know what to do,
Suddenly, a henchman rushed in, alarmed, to report.
"Third King, a group of cavalry has arrived at the gate of the stronghold and is challenging us!"
Chapter 345 Clerk Song, You're in Trouble
"Brothers, the Liangshan army is coming for us, what should we do?"
After the fair-faced young man Zheng Tianshou finished speaking,
Suddenly, he stood up and knelt down at Song Jiang's feet.
"Brother Gongming, please, you must save me!"
"this......"
Song Jiang's face immediately turned pale with embarrassment.
“I have never met Chief Zhao, but I’m afraid… Oh, right, it seems that King Chao and Chief Zhao have some connection. Brother, why don’t you hurry up and ask them for help?”
Upon hearing this, Zheng Tianshou immediately recalled that Chao Gai had mentioned earlier that Liangshan had helped them lift the siege of Erlong Mountain.
Thinking of this, the fair-skinned young man immediately felt a little annoyed.
In the past two days, we should not have treated Song Jiang as an honored guest, but instead neglected Chao Gai and others.
“King Chao, I was rude to you the other day,”
Zheng Tianshou bowed and said,
"Now that Qingfeng Mountain has been robbed, we beg Heavenly King Chao to save us. If Heavenly King can save Qingfeng Mountain today, I am willing to give the foundation of Qingfeng Mountain to Heavenly King as a place to settle down."
His words immediately stirred Liu Tang's interest.
Both Erlong Mountain and Taohua Mountain have been captured by the government.
The mountain stronghold was also burned to the ground.
Rather than returning to Erlong Mountain to rebuild the family business,
It would be better to regroup at Qingfeng Mountain!
Thinking of this, Liu Tang quickly offered some advice.
“Brother Chao Gai, since Qingfeng Mountain has taken us in, why don’t we lend them a hand?”
“Your Majesty, since you are acquainted with Zhao Yuan, why don’t you mediate between them?” Song Jiang said.
"this......"
Out of consideration for Song Jiang, Chao Gai was about to agree when...
Wu Yong suddenly coughed twice.
"Chief Zheng, Clerk Song, those cavalrymen are from Liangshan, but that's just our guess,"
The wise man suggested,
"Now that they are challenging us in front of the stronghold, Chief Zheng might as well go and check it out first. Once we confirm that they are from Liangshan, we can then discuss what to do."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Tianshou immediately realized its merit.
If the person who came was indeed from Liangshan, then he would do this to save his life.
They were quite willing to hand over the mountain stronghold to Chao Gai and his men.
But if they weren't soldiers from Liangshan...
Wouldn't he be at a loss if he promised to give Qingfeng Mountain to Chao Gai now?
After all, the chief leader, Jinmaohu Yan Shun, and the second-in-command, Aijiaohu Wang Ying, are both dead.
Now, this vast estate of Qingfeng Mountain belongs to Zheng Tianshou, the handsome young man, all by himself!
Thinking about this,
Zheng Tianshou apologized and hurriedly left the hall.
Go to the entrance of the mountain stronghold to check the situation.
After he leaves,
Wu Yong looked at Song Jiang and suddenly said,
"Sir Song is about to be in big trouble. Why don't you hurry up and think of a way to escape?"
"What does Wu Xuejiu mean by this?" Song Jiang asked, puzzled.
"Sir Song, Liangshan has always hated those who bully the common people, and earlier, in order to cut off Qin Ming's escape route..."
Before Wu Yong could finish speaking, Song Jiang immediately understood his meaning.
Although the people near Qingzhou City were killed by Yan Shun and Zheng Tianshou,
But the one who ordered them was you, Song Jiang!
If Liangshan were to find out at this time...
According to their usual practice, Song Jiang had to be dragged to the gate of Qingzhou City for a public trial!
Upon realizing this, Song Jiang shuddered and quickly said,
"Scholar, what should I do now? Please, scholar, save me!"
"Doesn't Clerk Song know what to do?"
········Requesting flowers·· 0
Wu Yong chuckled meaningfully.
"Can......"
Song Jiang was still somewhat hesitant.
Wu Yong, however, added fuel to the fire.
"Clerk, you'd better make a decision quickly, or things will get complicated when Chief Zheng comes back."
Song Jiang's expression shifted for a moment, then he suddenly nodded emphatically.
"Although I intended to cut off Qin Ming's escape route, I only had Yan Shun disguise himself as Qin Ming and walk around the gate of Qingzhou City. Who knew that these two would be so vicious and actually slaughter a group of innocent people!"
.. ... .......
His words left everyone in the hall speechless.
Previously, when he ordered Yan Shun and Zheng Tianshou to go down the mountain,
Although Song Jiang did not explicitly order them to slaughter civilians,
But they said they could do things expediently.
Isn't this a blatant hint to Yan Shun and Zheng Tianshou that they'd do anything to provoke Murong Yanda?
Now, Yan Shun and Zheng Tianshou have incurred the wrath of Liangshan for their massacre of civilians.
Song Jiang, Song Gongming, immediately tried to distance himself from the matter!
A hint of disdain immediately appeared on Liu Tang's face.
Although the others did not say it outright, they clearly had a new understanding of Song Jiang, the timely rain.
Seeing that the crowd remained silent, Song Jiang's expression immediately became somewhat awkward.
He knew that it was somewhat shameless of him to say that.
But his ambitions remain unfulfilled.
Naturally, one must retain the ability to serve the court.
How could he possibly die on Qingfeng Mountain because of two bandits?
Thinking of this,
Song Jiang gritted his teeth, walked to Hua Rong's side, and whispered a few words to him... strength.
Chapter 346 Is Chief Zhao satisfied with this treatment of me?
After a while,
The pale-faced young man, Zheng Tianshou, returned to the hall in a flustered manner.
"Brother Gongming, it really is Liangshan's men outside,"
After Zheng Tianshou finished speaking,
He then strode up to Chao Gai, intending to kneel down.
They'd trade the entire Qingfeng Mountain estate for his life.
I just don't know why.
Zheng Tianshou sensed that something was off about the atmosphere in the hall.
He looked at the expressionless crowd with a puzzled expression.
Finally, their gaze settled on Song Jiang.
"Brother Gongming, you..."
Before he could finish speaking,
Zheng Tianshou suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest.
Looking down, he saw an arrow piercing his chest.
He looked in the direction the arrow had come from.
Then, Little Li Guang Hua Rong drew his bow and nocked a second arrow.
"W-why......"
Before Zheng Tianshou could speak, another arrow shot out, piercing his chest once more.
The pale-faced young man's consciousness was beginning to fade.
By this time, he had come to understand.
Who in this hall truly wants him dead?
Zheng Tianshou slowly turned around.
Looking at Song Jiang's dark face,
A bitter smile appeared on his face.
He then collapsed to the ground.
"Brother, I also need you to cut off Zheng Tianshou's head, and then come with me to welcome the Liangshan chieftain!"
Song Jiang clenched his fist and gave the order in a deep voice.
Hua Rong did as instructed without expression.
Song Jiang, seeing the severed head in Little Li Guang's hand, was about to step out of the hall...
After the two walked outside the hall,
Hua Rong hesitated for a moment, but still spoke up to remind him.
"Brother Gongming, the visitors are not friendly. No matter why the Liangshan troops have come here, we should be on guard."
"Yes, brother is right,"
Song Jiang reached out and took Zheng Tianshou's head.
He then ordered Hua Rong to mobilize the henchmen and soldiers of Qingfeng Mountain in preparation for any eventuality.
