Chao Gai was whipped on his right shoulder, and his entire collarbone was broken, but there was no good doctor in the army, only a Tulang Zhong came to apply herbs, and wrapped it in a strip of cloth.

Song Jiang came over to visit, but Wu Yong and Liu Tang didn't want to see him, he didn't mean anything, and he said a few polite words and went to his own devices.

By the evening of that day, Chao Gai's injuries gradually worsened, and everyone couldn't help but worry.

"Mr. Jialiang, if you let Brother Chao Gai go down, it will definitely be inappropriate, so it's better to think of a way." Yang Lin said worriedly.

Wu Yong is now the backbone of this group, and since Chao Gai was injured, he has been thinking about the way out of the Black Pine Ridge group. Allegiance to Song Jiang is a choice, but Liu Tang, Yang Lin and others will not agree, and he can't get over it in his own heart, and Song Jiang may not like Chao Gai, the eldest brother in the title, to block him in front of him. Returning to Black Pine Ridge is also a way out, but it is destined to be a place to be guarded, and a few people can live a small life behind closed doors, but it is impossible to display their ambitions. The most tangled is the last option, that is to take refuge in Liangshan Manor, he firmly believes that as long as he comes, the ancient officials will not refuse, but when Dongxi Village was in the past, he didn't go directly, just wanted to do a career and reflect his own value, but now it seems that he can't, and in the end he still has to go to see the little brother without anything.

Can't hesitate any longer! Wu said to himself in his heart. Liangshan Manor has already interacted with the imperial court, and Hu Yanzhuo, who provoked the Sanshan grass in Qingzhou City, was the defeated general of Liangshan's subordinates, and tens of thousands of troops were wiped out in only half a day. What a strength is hidden in this manor! He felt that if he dwelled on his little self-esteem, he would probably miss out on a great change.

"I believe that the brothers don't want to stay here anymore, but there are two options at the moment, one is to go back to Black Pine Ridge and continue to live a small life behind closed doors; the other went to Liangshan, took refuge in the jade-faced Meng tasted the petty officials, and followed them to do it vigorously; Where to go, you decide for yourself. ”

After Wu Yong thought deeply, he said resolutely.

"Go to Yangsan! I've had enough of the place where birds don't poop in Black Pine Ridge. ”

Liu Tang is very active and belligerent, and he often hears the name of the small official of the Gu family in Yuncheng, so he immediately makes a choice.

"Then Liangshan Manor wants us people?"

Although Yang Lin also wanted to go, he didn't know the bottom of his heart.

"The ancient petty officials have a one-sided friendship with me, and we will not refuse to take refuge sincerely, so just rest assured about this matter."

Wu Yong immediately reassured several people, and everyone had no objections. At that moment, Liu Tang and Yang Lin went to mobilize the old department of Heisongling, and Bai Sheng took people to the town in front to ask the doctor to treat Chao Gai's injuries, and agreed to leave for the south in the middle of the next day.

In the early morning of the next day, Wu Yong, Liu Tang and others left a letter in the camp, only saying that they would send Chao Gai south to treat his injuries, and they brought more than 500 of his subordinates to go. When Song Jiang rushed to hear the news, he only saw a group of people in the distance.

"This guy is rude, wait for me to chase someone and capture him."

Kong Liang, Deng Long and others shouted one after another.

"King Chao Tianwang came all the way to save Er, which is equal to fire and water, and now he is seriously injured and returns, are you all repaying your benefactor like this?"

Hua Rong really couldn't stand it on the side, so he said coldly.

For a while, everyone was speechless when asked, and then Song Jiang coughed dryly and said: "Everyone has their own ambitions, so let him go!" ”

When those people heard this, they turned around and went back to the camp, but none of them looked at Hua Rong more, and only left him alone at the end.

The city did not know about the changes in the enemy camp outside the city. Yesterday, Hu Yanzhuo agreed with Murong Yanda that he would go out of the city to invite the battle to attract the attention of the thieves, and then send people to secretly go out of the West Gate to ask for help everywhere. The ploy was a great success, and several men were able to break through, and now they just had to wait for the arrival of the slow army.

In the following days, Song Jiang commanded his men to attack the city several times, but they were all repelled by Hu Yanzhuo's troops, and there was no one in the camp who fought against Hu Yanzhuo except Hua Rong, and the two sides were stalemate there for a while. After a few days, Song Jiang found out that several officers and soldiers from Laizhou, Victoria and other places came to help, and he was panicked, and after convening everyone to discuss, the army temporarily withdrew to Erlong Mountain. He naturally became the big leader, but he pitied Deng Long, Li Zhong, and Zhou Tong, who were not as strong as others, and only changed from the eldest brother to the younger brother.

The siege of Qingzhou was lifted, and the happiest person was, of course, the prefect Murong Yanda, who sent away the reinforcements from all walks of life, and hurriedly wrote the Qin chapter to the imperial court, reporting the glorious exploits of the defeat of the Three Mountain Bandits. However, at this moment, he suddenly received an urgent official letter from the imperial court, and after reading it, he was stunned for a while, and after a long time, he put away the official document, and the corners of his mouth slowly hooked, revealing a cold smile.

A day later, Murong Yanda hosted a banquet in the mansion for Hu Yanzhuo, the greatest hero of the retreat. Fine wine, delicacies, auspicious words, and the atmosphere of the banquet was unusually harmonious, but after a few glasses of wine, Hu Yanzhuo fell down with exhaustion.

"Eun-sang, why—why did you treat me like this?"

Hu Yanzhuo never imagined that he would fight to the death, but what he got was such a result, he asked with a struggle.

"Huyan and I are old friends in the past, and now I have made great contributions to Qingzhou City, I don't want to do this, but the king's fate is difficult to disobey!"

Murong Yanda said as he took out an official document from his arms.

"Yesterday, I just received an urgent official letter from the imperial court, saying that you fornicated with the Liangshan thieves and buried the 9,000 troops of the imperial court, and the crime is unforgivable, and the prefectures and governments were ordered to arrest and send them to Beijing to be punished."

"Enxiang, the lower official is wronged!" Hu Yanzhuo was taken aback when he heard this, and immediately cried out.

"This official also thinks that you are wronged! But after you sent out the army, why did you dismiss your subordinates and send your family away, and even Han Tao and Peng Ji did the same, this kind of behavior is not suspicious! ”

Hu Yanzhuo was stunned when he heard this, when will there be such a thing? But he didn't know the details, and he couldn't defend himself.

And Murong Yanda saw that he didn't say a word, but said that he was said, and he was secretly happy in his heart, but he didn't expect that he had just retreated from the thieves, and immediately arrested the court prisoners, he was really happy, and immediately said with a smile:

"Whether the general is wronged or not, the official can't judge, and you go to Beijing to appeal to the imperial court, I believe there will be a clear decision, but now you can only be wronged."

Immediately, Murong Yanda ordered the messenger to take Hu Yanzhuo into custody and send him to the capital on a later day. This man, who worked hard for him for half a month, is now not as good as a pig or dog.

Let's say that since ten days, the scenes of fighting and killing in Qingzhou City have all fallen in the eyes of a group of outsiders, and the leader is a Taoist priest, who is Gongsun Sheng, the new intelligence director of Liangshan Manor. After the victory of the officers and soldiers that day, Ma Ling went south to Runing to pick up Hu Yanzhuo's family, and Gongsun Sheng led people to Qingzhou non-stop, staring closely at this lone ruler.

Hu Yanzhuo, the number one hero in Qingzhou's killing of thieves, suddenly became the prisoner of the imperial court, and immediately became the number one news in the government. Gongsun Sheng naturally got this information easily, and then he sent people to rush to the manor urgently, while scattering his hands to keep an eye on the mansion's every move.

A few days later, a heavy flail prisoner, escorted by a team of errand officers, left the west gate of Qingzhou Mansion and went west along the official road. In a few days, the group came to Qizhou, where they changed to an official boat, and then went south along Jishui, preparing to go to Yunzhou and then enter Beijing by land. One day later, the ship arrived at the Yunzhou wharf, but when it was about to go ashore, it unexpectedly collided with an incoming ship upstream, and the ship capsized and everyone fell into the water. Fortunately, there were many ships coming and going, and with everyone's rescue, most of the people in the boatload were rescued in the end, but the key culprit was never heard from again, and everyone only thought that he was wearing a heavy flail and sank to the bottom, so they also turned back and reported the news.

Hu Yanzhuo's heart has been like ashes since he was imprisoned, and after he was released, he walked all the way to the Yunzhou wharf, and encountered the capsizing incident, and he thought at that time that he was just dead and clean, so there was no struggle after entering the water. Who expected that things would not go according to people's wishes, and just when he felt that he was sinking into the water and couldn't get out, he was suddenly pulled out of the water and pulled into a boat. Then he unlaid, freshened, changed, etc., and he was at his mercy for some reason, and after a while, he saw his savior.

"How are you?"

Hu Yanzhuo was taken aback when he saw it, and couldn't help blurting out asking.

"Why can't it be me?"

The man asked with a smile, and his tone was warm like a spring breeze.

"So the matter of Runing Mansion was also done by you?"

Hu Yanzhuo suddenly understood something and asked eagerly.

"It was indeed us who did it, but we didn't have any malice, on the contrary, if we didn't make a move, then Gao Taiwei and they would definitely make a move, and at this time, I am afraid that your relatives are already in the prison in the capital. Could it be that the commander thinks that there is only one person left in the army of 9,000 in half a day, and Captain Gao will let you go? Will the court let you go? ”

The man said lightly, Hu Yanzhuo listened to it but it was like a slap in the face, he suddenly understood in an instant, his end was actually doomed, no matter how great the credit of Qingzhou Li was, it was nothing more than to make a wedding dress for Murong Yanda, no wonder he did not hesitate to start with himself. He sighed and asked:

"What does the ancient little official want to do with me now?"

"How dare you deal with it, now Mrs. Zun and the family are waiting for the generals to gather, although Liangshan Manor is small, it is clean enough, tolerant enough, and responsible enough, I believe that the Huyan system will like it."

Hu Yanzhuo was stunned for a moment after saying this, and then a warm feeling slowly arose in his heart. Then he remembered all kinds of rumors he heard when he was in Beijing, what poetry is the best in the literary world of Beijing, martial arts are comparable to the prince of Jin, and what "Man Jianghong" and "Three Kingdoms", etc., at that time he didn't believe that there was such a genius in the world. When I first saw this young man that day, I looked at him who was still a little young, but I actually felt a little contemptuous of him in my heart. Now that I think about it, I have lost my eyes, and extraordinary people always have something extraordinary about him, maybe this is the will of God. Hu Yanzhuo pondered for a long time, and finally made up his mind, he threw himself into a big salute to the young man in front of him.

"The general of the defeated army, cheekily ask the petty officials to take him in, and he will not dare to resign before and after the saddle in the future."

"General Huyan is well aware of righteousness, Liangshan's luck! Luck to the people of the world! ”

The boy lifted him up from his seat, and clasped his hands together. Between that invitation and response, the two had a common heart and affection, and the small cabin made a good story of a monarch and a minister that was passed down to future generations.
