Chapter 476: Chao Gai Goes Up the Mountain
Chao Gai and his party went all the way east, in the direction of Liangshanbo, as He Zhi expected.
He Zhi still followed closely with Luo Ying.
"Senior Brother He, I see that you have been following these people. Who are they?" Even after all the previous experiences, Sakura was still very confused about the identity of Chao Gai and his party.
She has vaguely realized that there may be the "protagonist" of this world in Chao Gai's group. After all, 21.7% of the exploration degree is there, even if Sakura is a fool, I know that these people must be unusual! If you are not the "protagonist", it is impossible to bring such a high degree of exploration.
"They are the protagonists of this world. "Now, He Zhi doesn't plan to continue to hide this issue. He smiled and pointed out the identity of Chao Gai and his party to Luo Ying.
"They?" Luo Ying keenly grasped the details revealed in He Zhi's words.
"That's right. They. He Zhi smiled at Luo Ying and nodded.
"You mean, every single one of them is?" Sakura's eyes widened.
As a reincarnation with no space, Sakura is most accustomed to the mode of a single "protagonist". In a mission plot, if there are two protagonists, it can already be considered a lot.
As for He Zhi's "The Legend of the True Immortals", although it is said that there are many protagonists, there are more than a dozen protagonists, but in fact, in every time period, there are only two protagonists, one male and one female.
Therefore, it is really hard to imagine what it is like for a group of protagonists to suddenly appear in a plot mission.
Moreover, what makes Luo Ying even more unimaginable is that Chao Gai's group of people will actually be the "protagonists" of this world!
To be honest, whether it was Lin Chong or Yang Zhi before, if He Zhi told Luo Ying that they were the protagonists of this world, Luo Ying might not be too surprised. After all, both of them are the top players in the world.
But the group of people in front of him, Luo Ying really looked left and right, and they couldn't see that they had the appearance of the protagonist!
Just look at it, in Chao Gai's group of people, Chao Gai is just a country guard, even if he is a little famous in the underworld, but he is already over thirty-five years old, and he is already middle-aged and elderly in this era!
There are also the three Ruan brothers, that is, the three fishermen! Usually any reincarnation person sees them, I'm afraid they don't even bother to look at them! Wu Yong and Gongsun Sheng are poor and sour talents, and the other is a wandering Taoist, both of whom have some ability, but they have no ability! The most important thing is that they are still very old!
The last Liu Tang looks strange, he doesn't have much ability, his personality is stunned, and his brain feels a little problematic!
If it weren't for the fact that He Zhi really got 21.7% of the exploration degree, I'm afraid Luo Ying wouldn't believe anything she said when she heard He Zhi say that this group of people was the protagonist!
He Zhi saw Luo Ying's overwhelmed appearance, but he couldn't help but smile in his heart. If I tell you that there are more than 100 protagonists in this world, and the most critical first male protagonist has not yet appeared, don't you want to be stupid?
There is also the first protagonist Song Jiang: a corrupt, short, and extremely ordinary-looking petty official, who has almost no ability in his own right, and in a way, his personality is still weak!
A guy like this is actually the first protagonist of this world! If Sakura knew about it, would she feel that the worldview she had built since entering the empty space was about to be shattered?
He Zhi thought with great disgust - if Luo Ying knew the true face of the Water Margin, what kind of expression would she show.
However, now He Zhi is just thinking about it. The plot of the Water Margin is still far from the real climax. Liangshan One Hundred and Eight will be the final reunion, but five years later, He Zhi is still ready to focus on the plot of Liangshan Xiaojuyi.
After Wu Yong and others robbed the Shengchengang, they did not go directly to Liangshanbo. Instead, he returned to Chao Gai's house. This is also because Chao Gai's family has a lot of money, and there are relatives and subordinates, so Chao Gai is still reluctant to run directly.
Moreover, Chao Gai is conceited and is the first good man in Shandong, and both black and white give him face. So he was not afraid of the government coming to arrest him, so he took a group of people swaggering and returned to his house with the treasures he had just arrived.
Of course, this is the same as the "Water Margin" that He Zhi knows. Chao Gai and the others felt that they didn't show their faces at all when they hijacked the Birth Gang. still has a fluke mentality, feeling that the government may not necessarily know that they did it.
As for everyone defecting to Jiangnan or to Liangshanbo, it was all a calculation after being discovered by the government. A group of people felt that there was no need to implement it for the time being.
However, He Zhi, who understands the plot, of course knows that at this time, Cai Jing has already received the Pegasus Express from those sobered up sergeants, and then pressed over with an order.
Jeju's observation made He Tao and his younger brother investigate carefully, and determined that it was the famous Chao Gai who robbed the birth gang. So he ordered the soldiers and prepared to arrest Chao Gai.
Fortunately, Chao Gai is a real head snake in Shandong. Here, He Tao and He Observation had just ordered troops to set off, and Chao Gai over there had already received the news.
Song Jiang, Zhu Tong, Lei Heng...... These little officials are all friends with Chao Gai. Until He Tao wanted to arrest Chao Gai, several people discussed it, and they all ran to report to Chao Gai.
Chao Gai originally had a plan to escape, so He Tao had not yet entered Chao Gai's Dongxi Village, and Chao Gai, who received the news here, had already burned his house with a very decisive fire, and took Liu Tang and Gongsun Sheng and his party straight to Liangshan.
He Zhi had only waited for two more days in the inn in Songjia Village before he saw the smoke billowing from Dongxi Village. He Zhi knew that this was a signal for Chao Gai to flee to Liangshanbo.
He Zhi smiled slightly, and took Luo Ying on the road again. The two followed Wu Yong and his party all the way, and it didn't take much time to return to Liangshanbo, where they had been here once.
is different from the original serious "Water Margin", in this world, Chao Gai and others were not suddenly attacked by He Tao, but had already prepared to escape. So this time they escaped quite calmly. There is no such dangerous chase and kill plot in the book.
Of course, He Zhi himself can't remember the details of the Water Margin clearly. And He Zhi doesn't care about the change of details. As long as Chao Gai and the others finally go to Liangshanbo, it makes no difference to He Zhi.
Soon, as soon as I invited someone, I arrived at Liangshan. At this time, Liang Shanbo and He Zhi had already changed their appearance when they first came. Now it is the height of summer in Liangshan, and the scenery is picturesque up and down the mountain.
Among Chao Gai and his party, the three Ruan brothers were originally fishermen, and their families had fishing boats. And Chao Gai himself also has some resources, and he also got two small boats. The group got a total of seven or eight small boats, put all the looted and sorted out property on the boats, and rushed to Liangshan in a mighty way.
Regarding the situation of Liang Shanbo, Chao Gai and others are naturally very clear.
As a well-known hero in Shandong, Chao Gai has a bit of a strong relationship with Liang Shanbo, a strong man who falls into the grass. Although he had never met Wang Lun, the white-clothed showman of Liang Shanbo's current leader, he still had a good relationship with Zhu Gui, who was in charge of external liaison with Liang Shanbo.
Therefore, the first stop for the group to go to Liangshan Bo was the restaurant run by Zhu Gui on the dry land at the foot of Liangshan Mountain.
When he arrived at the restaurant, Chao Gai told Zhu Guiyi about his own affairs. Zhu Gui was suddenly overjoyed in his heart.
What kind of person is Chao Gai? Shandong's well-known heroes! Such a figure came to vote with a large number of good players, and Zhu Gui naturally immediately thought that this would certainly greatly enhance Liangshan's strength.
A cottage like Liangshanbo is most afraid of its lack of strength, and it will one day be suppressed by officers and soldiers. If Chao Gai and others can join, they will not only increase their strength greatly, but also have people in the official face who can be contacted. It can be said that the probability of being exterminated by the government has been greatly reduced.
Therefore, Zhu Gui was extremely enthusiastic, and while killing pigs and sheep to entertain Chao Gai and others, he also told all the things to the upper echelons of Liangshanbo. Next, Wang Lun promised to let Chao Gai and others go up the mountain, and the arrangement was almost similar to that in the Water Margin biography.
However, just when He Zhi was interested in waiting to see how Lin Chong became popular with Wang Lun, and how stable Chao Gai was when he sat on the top spot in Liangshan. The problem arises again.
At the banquet where the white-clothed showman Wang Lun entertained Chao Gai and others, Liu Tang and Lin Chong actually had a little skirmish!
The main reason is that this world is very subtle and different from the world of "Water Margin", which He Zhi does not know. In "Water Margin", an important reason why Wang Lun did not dare to accept Chao Gai and others to go up the mountain was because Chao Gai fought with He Tao and killed many officers and soldiers sent by the government to kill him.
This fight came out of Chao Gai's mouth, the first was to frighten Wang Lun, making him afraid that accepting Chao Gai up the mountain might lead to the encirclement and suppression of the government. The second is the idea that Wang Lun did not dare to fight the treasure that Chao Gai carried. Think about it, Chao Gai's gang even killed that old man, how dare he Wang Lun provoke a grass coward?
It was precisely because Wang Lun was so simply frightened and behaved so cowardly that Lin Chong's dissatisfaction was aroused, and it also gave Wu Yong the opportunity to use a discordant strategy to encourage Lin Chong to fire and Wang Lun.
But now in this world, Chao Gai didn't fight with He Tao in the first place. Instead, he took his own people to Liangshanbo smoothly. Therefore, Wang Lun's scruples about Chao Gai are far less strong than in the normal plot of "Water Margin".
Moreover, this Wang Lun is still a short-sighted guy with no foresight at all. He looked down on Chao Gai and his party in his heart, and then heard that Chao Gai and others had brought a large amount of gold and silver up the mountain, so he was even more moved.
For the large amount of wealth brought by Chao Gai and his party, Wang Lun was eager to receive it in his family's treasure house immediately. But for Chao Gai's gang, he didn't want any of them. Although Wang Lun is not afraid that Chao Gai and others will attract the government to encircle and suppress him, he can also see that Chao Gai and his gang are very grouped. He was worried that if he relented and let Chao Gai and others join, he would shake his position as the leader of Liangshanbo.
So, Wang Lun's eyes rolled, and he thought of a plan - since Wang Lun is known as a white-clothed showman, there is always bad water in his stomach - this Wang Lun accepted Chao Gai and his party to go up the mountain on the surface, but secretly Wang Lun encouraged Lin Chong and said a lot of bad things about Chao Gai.
He also said that Chao Gai was able to run so easily after winning the Birthday Gang this time, I am afraid that it is not an undercover agent of the government?
Lin Chong was moved by Wang Lun's words, and he tested it during the banquet. And Liu Tang was brainless, and argued with Lin Chong on the spot. In the end, the two sides parted unhappily.
Wang Lun, who saw Lin Chong in conflict with Chao Gai and others, was almost overjoyed. It was easy to hold back the smile, pretending to separate the two sides, and then let Chao Gai and the others go back.
Chao Gai and the others returned to the residence prepared for them by Wang Lun worriedly, and their expressions were not good-looking. Liu Tang looked annoyed, and shouted that he wanted to go to Jiangnan.
"Brother Liu, don't say it again! If we can't pass this level, I'm afraid we won't be able to go to Jiangnan, but we will have to go to Liangshanbo underwater to be accompanied by fish and shrimp!" Chao Gai also reprimanded Liu Tang very rarely.
Chao Gai's face was also very ugly. Lin Chong's strength is too strong. The sense of oppression brought to him was even more powerful than when he faced Yang Zhi! Their gang clashed with Lin Chong, and Chao Gai felt that Lin Chong could no longer stand on their side.
At the same time, the performance of Wang Lun, a white-clothed showman, in conniving at Lin Chong's conflict with them during the banquet, has already clearly illustrated the problem: Wang Lun does not welcome them at all!
And once Lin Chong stood on Wang Lun's side, Chao Gai and the others were afraid that a catastrophe was coming! This Liangshanbo was not a good thing. They came with a large sum of gold and silver, and they might have gotten into the mouth of a tiger!
"I didn't say I could come to Liangshanbo. Liu Tang muttered, turned his head and stopped talking.
Chao Gai asked Wu Yong again, "Professor Wu, what can you do?"
"This ...... Brother, don't worry, let me think about it carefully. Wu pinched the beard on his chin, also racking his brains.
The conflict between Liu Tang and Lin Chong was indeed unexpected by Wu Yong, and it also disrupted almost all of Wu Yong's arrangements. Originally, in Wu Yong's plan, Lin Chong was an important pawn! He should be on their side! But now Lin Chong has almost been pushed to the opposite side of them!
For such a situation, Wu Yong is also at a loss. Lin Chong's strength is there, and no matter how powerful Wu is, there is no way to deal with Lin Chong.
Could it be that this group of them even snatched the Birthday Gang, but they had to fold their halberds in this Liangshanbo? Wu Yong pulled his beard, and he couldn't be reconciled no matter how he thought about it.
And just when Chao Gai's group of people were at a loss, He Zhi smiled. Chao Gai and his party couldn't do anything about Lin Chong, but He Zhi had a way. The seeds he planted in Lin Chong half a year ago should also be harvested.
