Li Kui was woken up in his sleep, got up and came up angrily, and was about to scold, when he saw that it was Li Li and Mu Chun, the dirty words were swallowed back into his stomach, and he suddenly found that it was already dark all around, and he was taken aback, and asked: "Zhulong didn't catch up with the birdman last night?" ”

"Nope!" Li Li shook his head.

"Damn, it's so bad that Lao Tzu waited all night, let's go, let's go back to Liangshan, think about how to explain to Brother Song Jiang!" Thinking of Song Jiang, Li Kui had a headache, and the others were similar.

"What's that?" Tong Wei suddenly pointed in the direction of Liangshan and said in surprise.

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and saw black smoke rising from the air in the distance, which should be on fire.

What's going on?

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and I have a bad feeling in my heart.

Li Kui shouted: "Quick, go back to Liangshan!" ”

The four big boats rowed and headed towards Liangshan.

……

In the Liangshan cottage, the fire is full of fire and thick smoke.

Zhu Biao ordered the fires to be set on fire, all of which were individual houses and stacks of firewood, which seemed to be very loud, but in fact, none of the important buildings were on fire.

Chao covered them and closed them, and saw the fire and smoke in the cottage, and the killing shouts shook the sky, and everyone panicked.

"Liu Tang and Bai Sheng, two brothers, you come with me and see what is going on!"

Chao Gai took Liu Tang and Bai Sheng and ran to the cottage.

On Liangshan now, there are only these two people who can be moved.

"Brother, I'll go too!" Wu Yong ran to follow.

The remaining five people, Zheng Tianshou, Yan Shun, Shi Yong, Song Qing, and Song Wan, looked at each other. Song Jiang is not here, they have no backbone, but at this time, Zhu Long called, and there was an accident in the cottage, they didn't know what to do!

Song Qing was so anxious that he stomped his feet and complained: "Where is my brother, he hasn't come back yet!" ”

Others did not dare to complain about Song Jiang, and accused Li Kui of Hulai.

Chao Gai and the four of them came to the main gate of the cottage and saw Zhu Biao, Zhu Hu, Sun Li, Ruan Xiaoer, Xie Zhen, and Xie Bao, six fierce generals, with a group of soldiers, killing all sides in the cottage.

Although there are many minions in the cottage, they are like a group of cowardly lambs, who are killed and cry for their fathers and mothers, and run in all directions.

Ruan Xiaoer saw Chao Gai from a distance, recognized him at a glance, and came over with a steel fork.

"Brother come with me!" Chao Gai was about to rush up, but was grabbed by Wu Yong and dragged in the direction of Dongshan.

Chao Gai was pulled by him and walked a few steps, standing still, "Brother Xian, what are you doing here?" I'm going to fight! ”

"What to kill, Liangshan is gone! Brother, you take Liu Tang and Bai Sheng brothers, and the three of them go to escape together! Wu Yong said eagerly.

"How come, I still have so many brothers in Liangshan-" Chao Gai was not reconciled.

"What's the use! How many people can my brother move? I just saw Zhu Biao, Zhu Hu, and Sun Li, all of whom are brave generals! And I, Liangshan, are already disheartened! If my brother doesn't leave now, when will he stay? ”

Wu Yong said sincerely, Chao Gai sighed gloomily, and said helplessly: "We have no way to escape now, and it is difficult to fly with wings!" ”

"If there is no way to escape, then how did Zhu Biao come up?" Wu smiled mysteriously, "Brother, Brother Liu Tang, Brother Bai Sheng come with me!" ”

After speaking, he continued to walk forward, out of the cottage, up the East Mountain, along a hidden path, around the back of the mountain, between the two cliffs and peaks, there is a "road" that can be climbed.

The four of them used their hands and feet together, and went down slowly.

When he finally came down, Chao Gai stepped on a stone that was out of the water, and in front of him was the boundless lake.

When Wu used it, he asked, "Brother Xian, there is no boat here, what should we do now?" ”

Wu Yong smiled, "Brother, don't panic, the little brother can conjure up the boat!" ”

He leaned on the cliff, stepped on the stones that came out of the water, entered the crevice of the cliff, turned a corner, and Chao Gai could not see him.

Chao Gai looked inside, and after a while, half of the bow of the boat was exposed around the corner, and then a canopy boat appeared, and Wu Yong sat on the stern of the boat and paddled.

"Brother Xian is really planning for a rainy day!" Chao Gai exclaimed in surprise and got on the boat with Liu Tang and Bai Sheng.

Wu Yong put the oars on the board, walked up to Chao Gai, and asked, "Is there a good place in my brother's heart?" ”

Chao Gai shook his head and arched his hand: "The incident happened in a hurry, there is nowhere to go, please ask the virtuous brother for guidance!" ”

"Hey, my brother's generous and loyal people shouldn't have stepped into the troubled waters of the rivers and lakes, but now Liangshan no longer exists, and my brother has five places to go!"

Chao Gai said with a smile: "Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang, he just proposed three strategies. The virtuous brother said five at once, far better than Kong Mingyi! Please elaborate. ”

"One is to throw himself into Tianhu in Hebei, the second is to surrender to Wang Qing in Huaixi, the third is to throw himself into the south of Jiangnan, the fourth is to flee to Daliao, and the fifth is to surrender to Zhulong."

After hearing this, Chao Gai was silent for a while, "Is there a sixth one?" ”

"Find an old temple deep in the mountains and cut your hair to become a monk."

Chao Gai said unwillingly: "Is there anything else? "The last one, surrender to the imperial court!" Wu spread his hands out.

Eight choices, none of which Chao Gai wanted.

"Brother Xian, what do you think I should do?" In desperation, he asked Wu Yong to take the idea.

Wu sighed secretly in his heart, this is the difference between Chao Gai and Song Jiang.

Although Song Jiang is kind on the outside and has a good temper, he is very assertive in his heart. On the contrary, Chao Gai has a strong and bold personality, but when things come to an end, he has no idea, how can such a person be the boss.

If it weren't for this, how could he secretly take refuge in Song Jiang.

It's just that between him and Chao Gai, after all, he has a good friendship, and he can't help but plan for him.

Wu Yong cleaned up his mood and replied: "The best strategy is to go to Huaixi Wang Qing!" The Great Liao army is in chaos, and Hebei will also be in flames. And the south of the Yangtze River is heavily taxed, and the imperial court must send a large army to conquer, and Tian Hu and Fang La are rare for a long time. ”

"Okay, let's go to Huaixi to join Wang Qing, I heard that he has founded the country and called the emperor, and the country name is Chu, I will go this time, I can also get over the addiction of being an official, maybe I can get a general." Chao Gai smiled and said to Bai Sheng: "Brother Bai Sheng, let's drive the boat and go southwest." ”

"Wait, brother, please let the little brother get off the boat first." Wu bowed over.

Chao Gai Yileng: "Won't Brother Xian go with us?" ”

Wu Yong shook his head: "Little brother wants to stay in Liangshan!" ”

"But Liangshan is about to be occupied by Zhu Long!"

Wu smiled and said nothing, Chao Gai understood something, no longer persuaded each other, and said sadly: "Brother Xian, if you say goodbye today, I don't know when we can see each other again?" ”

"I wish my brother, Liu Tang brothers, and Bai Sheng brothers to have a good future and smooth sailing!" Wu bowed down with a deep bow, and then9 got off the boat, stood on the stone, and said goodbye.

"Virtuous brother—"

"Brother Pedant—"

Chao Gai, Liu Tang, and Bai Sheng said goodbye to him, and the estrangement and gap in the past have now dissolved.

Wu Yong looked at the awning boat and disappeared into the vast lake, and sighed in his heart.

In fact, for Chao Gai, it was a good choice to take refuge in Zhulong, but his self-esteem did not allow him to do so.

Does he know that his ability is not as good as Lin Chong, Qin Ming, Wu Yong and others, and even inferior to the hardcore junior brother Liu Tang, his qualifications and status in Liangshan, Zhujiazhuang does not admit it, and when the time comes, he will be below the former junior brother, not only will he be embarrassed, but Wu Yong, Lin Chong and others will also be embarrassed!
