If she could marry Wu Song,

Then Wu Da can rest assured.

The more Zhang's sister-in-law thought about it, the more pleasing Liu Xianglan seemed to her.

Then, taking advantage of the break while serving tea and water,

Tell Wu Da about this.

Wu Da immediately realized it was a marriage between brothers.

Although the eldest brother is like a father,

However, he did not force Wu Song to accept it.

Instead, he asked his brother's opinion first.

It's all fate,

This Wu Song previously,

When Liu Xianglan was rescued from Zhou Tong

I had close contact with him before.

I also have a good impression of this pretty girl.

Then he thought of his brother and sister-in-law's arrangements for his marriage.

I've been troubled by this for over half a year now.

He hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

The Wu family agreed.

The rest was easy.

Liu Huiniang found an opportunity to tell her uncle about it.

Chen Xizhen was misunderstood because of the previous incident where Chen Liqing was dressed as a man.

I feel somewhat guilty towards Grandpa Liu.

Now there is a chance to make amends.

Without hesitation, he found a gap.

To make the matter clear to Old Man Liu

Old Master Liu only had this one daughter.

He is now old.

The remaining wish of my life

Even if Liu Xianglan is able to find a good family,

These two Wu brothers

The eldest was honest, and the second brother acted like a hero.

If Liu Xianglan had married Wu Song,

Shen will definitely not be bullied.

Thinking of this,

Old Master Liu readily agreed...

Chapter 324 Song Jiang, the Timely Rain

The Liu family and the Wu family were invited to marry.

As the matchmaker, Chen Xizhen couldn't very well leave.

The three of them had no choice but to continue living in the village.

Helping both families prepare for the wedding.

At the same time,

Zhou Tong's attempt to abduct Liu Xianglan failed.

They could only return to Li Zhong and Chao Gai in a sorry state.

Seeing the beauty gained and then lost again

This fellow was naturally extremely unwilling.

Then he began to incite Li Zhong and Chao Gai,

Hopefully, these two will be willing to stand up for him.

They went to teach the man who had saved Liu Xianglan a lesson.

Unexpectedly, Li Zhong scolded him directly.

"Brother, you swore a solemn oath in front of that frivolous monk that you would never bother Old Master Liu's daughter again!"

Li Zhong said unhappily,

"You've tried to kidnap people three times, but failed each time. In my opinion, it's because of your vow that Heaven is interfering! Yet you still won't stop. Aren't you afraid that you'll really get your vow to be struck by lightning on that day?"

Chao Gai, standing to the side, frowned and said...

“A true man keeps his word. Once he has made a vow in front of others, how can he go back on his word? Wouldn’t that be the behavior of a petty person?”

Zhou Tong saw that Liu Tang, Gongsun Sheng, and the others all looked at him with disdain.

Knowing that asking them for help would be useless, they were filled with resentment and jealousy.

The group was worried that Qin Ming and Huang Xin would lead their troops to pursue them.

Without further delay,

They headed straight for Qingfeng Mountain.

They continued like this for two days.

We had already reached the foot of Qingfeng Mountain.

Zhou Tong's last visit here was several years ago.

Now I have forgotten the way.

The group then hid in the woods.

I plan to stop someone when they pass by so I can ask them for directions.

This wait lasted for another half a day.

As darkness fell,

Just as Li Zhong and Chao Gai had decided not to wait any longer,

Let's just go up the mountain and try our luck.

But unexpectedly, at this moment,

But a short, stout man watched as the broadsword passed by from outside the woods.

Liu Tang quickly got up.

He grabbed his weapon and charged out of the forest.

Without wasting words with that man,

He kicked him from behind, knocking him to the ground.

(bica) returned and seized his broadsword.

Grabbing by the collar,

They then dragged the man all the way back into the woods.

"Brother, I've brought him back."

Liu Tang threw the man in front of the crowd.

Chao Gai stepped forward, about to ask a question,

I don't want to think about the man on the ground.

Upon seeing him, she immediately became excited.

"Is it Chao Gai, the Master of the Manor?"

"you......"

Chao Gai also felt that the man's voice sounded somewhat familiar.

He quickly moved forward.

He exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Gongming, what are you doing here?"

As he spoke, Chao Gai quickly helped the man on the ground up.

Gongming? Song Gongming?

Everyone around was startled.

Liu Tang hurriedly stepped forward.

Upon seeing that the man was indeed Song Jiang, he hurriedly knelt down.

"Brother Song Jiang, please don't be offended. I was only thinking of grabbing someone to ask for directions, and I didn't examine their face carefully..."

"It's alright. It was already dark, and I'm quite dark-skinned, so it's understandable that Brother Liu Tang couldn't see me clearly."

Song Jiang dusted himself off and said nonchalantly,

"By the way, Master Chao, how did you get here?"

Song Jiang asked in surprise,

"Didn't you say you were settling down on Erlong Mountain? I was thinking of visiting Erlong Mountain after my trip to Qingfeng Village."

"Well, it's a long story,"

Chao Gai sighed, recounting how Erlong Mountain had been breached by the Qingzhou army.

With nowhere else to go, the five of them first sought refuge at Peach Blossom Mountain.

However, Qin Ming and Huang Xin caught up with them and destroyed the mountain stronghold.

The group had no choice but to come to Qingfeng Mountain to seek refuge with Yan Shun and Wang Ying.

"Brother Gongming, these two are the heroes of Peach Blossom Mountain, Tiger Slayer Li Zhong and Little Tyrant Zhou Tong,"

Chao Gai introduced them to both sides,

"Chief Li, Brother Zhou Tong, this is Song Jiang, also known as the Timely Rain of Yuncheng, the Righteous Protector of Yuncheng!"

This Song Jiang,

Reputation among the outlaws

But it's much bigger than his career in officialdom.

Upon hearing his name, Li Zhong and Zhou Tong...

He immediately knelt down on the ground.

"So it's Brother Gongming! We've always heard of Song Jiang, the Timely Rain, for his filial piety and righteousness, but we've never had the chance to meet him before. It's truly an honor to meet you now..."

"It's just a little bit of empty fame, why should you two brothers care about it!"

Song Jiang quickly helped the two up.

The group chatted for a while,

Remembering that Song Jiang had just mentioned going to Qingfeng Village, Wu Yong asked curiously,

"Sir Song, could it be that you also know Yan Shun, Wang Ying, and Zheng Tianshou of Qingfeng Mountain? Is that why you went to join them?"

"Scholar, I don't recognize any of the three people you're talking about,"
