Chapter 359: A Glimmer of Hope Half a glimmer of light
Ning Liheng.
Chai Zhi rustled on the ground, writing these three words, Zhu Wu sat on the steps in front of the altar, watching the afternoon sun shine obliquely in, and the fine dust dancing in the air.
Ning Liheng...... Ning Liheng...... Has anyone heard of this name before......"
It wasn't a question that came out of his mouth, but after a moment, someone answered: "I haven't heard of it, but what matters is what to do now." ”
It was Zhang Shun who had just walked in from outside the door, and at this time, in addition to Zhu Wu, Zhang Shun, Yan Qing, Lu Fang, Sun Xin and several other leaders near the broken temple in this mountain range, there were also dozens of Liangshan minions who were slightly or seriously injured.
For Ning Yi, these "nameless" people may not get much human rights treatment, but as the most elite part of the mountain bandits in Liangshan, they did play a great role in the fight and escape along the way. The reason why these people were selected by Liangshan was that they were all people with experience in the rivers and lakes, and they covered up the traces of suspicion along the way, and at this time, they really took care of their wounds and were able to breathe a little, but under this blow, the entire broken temple and the people in the forest near the broken temple were also in a state of decadence.
When Zhu Wu and Zhang Shun spoke, Yan Qing, who was bandaged and her eyes were bloodshot, had already come in from outside the door. I only heard Zhu Wu say: "Take a break, everyone will leave, what else can you do?" ”
"Let's go? This time things are done like this, how can we go! Brothers...... It is not known how many of the brothers were arrested. Now where can we go! ”
It was the slightly injured "Little Wenhou" Lu Fang who said this, he held the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand, propped it up on the ground, and had already stood up. Zhu Wu glanced at him: "What if you don't leave?" ”
"Don't talk about the brothers who have already gone, the brothers who fell into the hands of the thief, we won't just ignore them!"
"But you can't stay here ...... so many"
"I saw that Brother Shi Yongshi was surrounded by more than ten people in the chaotic battle, I'm afraid I have already gone to ......," Sun Xin interjected with some frustration.
"The staff was just arrested, I didn't leave, I have to go back." Yan Qing stood by the door and said. He is quite popular in Liangshan, not to mention that Liangshan at this time has not been strictly ranked. Lu Junyi's second position is certain. Zhang Shun looked at him: "Let's go?" How to go, this time more than 200 of us converged, will there be only more than 40 people left to go back? And let Second Brother Lu and them be arrested? Let's go back to the mountain, what do the others say...... People must be rescued......"
"This is not the Daimyo's Mansion, it's too far away from Liangshan, let's count everything in that person......"
"Brother Ruan, they're nearby, right? How far away? ”
"No, have you ever called yourself again? They will arrive at Kaifeng Mansion in only three or five days......"
"What can I do? Brother Zhu. ”
“…… I can't leave, so I can only stay and wait for the opportunity to save people...... But the injured brothers still have to go back first, no matter what the mountain decides......" Zhu Wu struggled for a long time, and finally expressed his attitude, "There are fewer of us, so we can act together." But that Ning Liheng ...... Brother Yan. Do you know anything about your days on the ship? ”
"Jiangning's first talent, you have also seen it, in his twenties, I only have one face to face with him, and I don't know anything. If you hadn't talked about it later, I wouldn't have known about his holiday with Brother Xi at all......" Yan Qing said this with a gloomy face and a stiff tone, and took a breath. Again. "But Brother Zhu is right, their morale is high now. We're all here, we're just going to get in. I'm not leaving, but I want to...... Let's leave first, then Ning Liheng is not simple, let's not be served by him. ”
After he said this, he turned around and was about to go out, Lu Fang said over there: "What are you kidding, what's not simple, it's just been calculated once, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, that guy is only in his early twenties, we're really afraid that he won't succeed!" I, Lu Fang, didn't leave, and chopped him when I found an opportunity. ”
Zhang Shun said: "They are going up the waterway, if they want to drag it, I will find a way to scuttle their boat." ”
"Think twice, go now, but fall into an ambush." Zhu Wu frowned and thought about it.
Zhang Shun looked at him and said, "Brother Zhu, among us people, you are the best at scheming, I can't do it, I can only do some brute methods." This time we are just a temporary setback, if you have an idea, we are brothers, and we always believe in you the most. ”
When he had said this, the rest of the people nodded. This time, everyone's frustration seems to be just a problem in one link, and if you have to calculate, it is Zhu Wu who can be trusted after all. Zhu Wu lowered his head and thought about it, and finally nodded:
"I know it, I looked back and thought about it, that Ning Liheng seems to be powerful, but in fact, he has done more things to prepare for a rainy day. After Brother Yan arrived on the boat, Ning Liheng suddenly attacked after his name was reported, indicating that he was only suspicious of Brother Yan before, and it was nothing to do. Otherwise, if he doesn't say anything, Brother Yan won't be able to dodge...... Maybe I'm thinking too much. Well, let's first determine the method for the brothers to return to Liangshan later, and then ...... Just turn back and see if you can wait for an opportunity to save people. ”
He spoke and stood up. At this time, the light of the sky shone into the temple gate through the gap in the trees, Yan Qing walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Thank you." He nodded. The rest began to prepare, wiping their weapons, tightening their bandages, or closing their eyes. For them, a night of sleepless was not a big deal, but the continuous midnight fighting and the subsequent flight were still very tiring for everyone.
And here, in addition to imagining the possibility of saving people in his heart, Zhu Wu has also begun to write letters to be sent to Liangshan or to some brothers on the way.
This time, it may not be said that there is no turning point, but it cannot be easily ended, and for him, it is a complete failure. Of course, if he can find a glimmer of life in such a desperate situation, he still has hope of recovering a city.
On Liangshan, he is not a Zhao'an faction. This time, everything can be said to have appeared from this.
Since the Song leader went up the mountain, the trend that Liangshan has always shown is inclined to Zhao'an. This is the wish of the Song leader, and most people also know that if they can recruit An, of course it is a good thing, after all, there is no future to be a thief for a lifetime. For a long time, this seemed to be the only way out. The people who are not from the Zhao'an faction are vague about the future, and they actually have no resonance with each other. Since Fang La's capture of Hangzhou. That's what has changed.
For Zhu Wu and others, who are accustomed to green forests. Defecting to the imperial court is actually not a very exciting thing, it can only be said to be the only choice without a choice. However, as the situation in the north and south began to change drastically, everyone finally saw a glimmer of hope. Now that the Wu Dynasty wants to suppress Fang La in the south, and the north is facing repeated failures in the Liao, it can't take care of a Liang Shanbo at all, and even Tian Hu and Wang Qing are all beneficiaries. In this case. If you can really rise up and shout the slogan that the prince will Xiangning have a kind of, it is not hopeless.
Most of the more than 40,000 people on Liangshan are still far-sighted minions after all, and for them, since they have become mountain bandits. The first thing I think about is the future of being a mountain bandit. Leader Song wants to recruit An, this kind of idea can't be said on the surface. When the idea of rebellion began to become apparent, the whole of Yangsan could not sit still. This time, everyone was sent down the mountain, just to really start the banner of Liangshan.
The soldiers were divided into several routes, including robbing prisons in Jiangning and other places, rescuing the people captured under the command of Xiala, and contacting the Fangla branch that had become scattered again after the destruction of Hangzhou. In the final analysis, it is necessary to take advantage of the defeat of Fang La's troops to accept his defeated troops, and even tell other people in the green forest. Yangsan is more promising. After all, they were defeated, and we still saved the people. And on the way to Zhuwu. The last thing that I chose to make a name for myself was to rob the birth gang.
For a long time, Song Jiang, Wu Yong and others were reluctant to tear their faces with the royal family, even if they sent everyone out this time, they also left the idea in their hearts that "after Liangshan grows stronger, they can still increase their Zhao'an chips". Zhu Wu directly hijacked the Shengchengang, as long as he left a reputation after success, the people of the Zhao'an faction could only eat Coptis dumbly, and admitted the matter with a smile. It can be described as a clever plan to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, but unfortunately it fell short in the end.
But in any case, although Zhu Wu had been saying that this was not a daimyo's mansion before. But Lu Junyi was arrested, and on Liangshan, I am afraid that he still has to move people, and if he can find a way to settle things before the arrival of the large army, he will still be able to find a way out after all, after all, it is already very good to be able to kill thousands of people.
It must have been difficult, but now he can only see a walk.
As for Ning Liheng, after all, there is only this one fight, and he still has the confidence in his heart that he can level the situation.
So I thought about the whole thing in my mind. After writing the letter, Yan Qing and the others were about to go back to the dock to investigate the situation, Zhu Wu arranged for the people near the small temple, and after they quickly evacuated to the new location, they followed Yan Qing and Zhang Shun and returned together.
At the same moment, in the daylight near dusk, Ning Yi and Wen Ren walked on the side of the ship: "The news has been released?" ”
Wen Ren nodded and looked at the scene on the dock: "It's all released, now around here, even if it is a tea and egg seller, everyone knows that Liangshan and a group of bandits have been arrested, and tomorrow they will have their legs broken and hung on the mast to sunburn alive." ”
Ning Yi looked at a stall selling tea eggs from a distance: "It's so cruel, will it cause any resistance?" ”
Wen Ren laughed: "How is it possible, everyone is very happy, and the crowd is excited." By tomorrow morning, there will be a lot of people coming to see the excitement...... However, Liheng are you sure this is useful? ”
"I don't know what to do." Ning Yi still looked at the scene outside the dock, and his eyes kept looking farther away, "But theoretically, because they made a mistake and were caught in the second-in-command, they can't go back, so they can only stay here and follow until this second-in-command is rescued or it is confirmed that he is dead, so ......"
He paused slightly, then looked at Wen Ren, and smiled as if he was also a little uncertain: "So, no matter which bandit den you are in...... I think it's all like this, right? (To be continued.) )
