Water Margin set the country

Chapter 42

In the afternoon of the next day, Chao Qing left Qingzhou City again under the cover of Sun Erniang.The city is still full of bloody winds and chaos, but Chao Qing no longer cares about these things.When he returned to Erlong Mountain, Yang Lin and the others were all happy to see him come back safely. They heard him explain how he sneaked into Murong Yanda's house and took his life. Everyone was amazed and admired Chao Qing's wit and courage.

At this time, Su Liang and Su Jinniang had brought their younger brother Su Yi and his family to Erlong Mountain.

Of course, this is involuntary.The two brothers and sisters had just been sent to Murong Yanda's home when they encountered an assassin, and then they disappeared, and Murong Yanda's head was chopped off.

When Su Liang and Su Jinniang escorted the rescued village girl, the officers and soldiers pursued by the imperial court rushed into Sujiazhuang to get her. Seeing that they were either caught by the government and died, or fought desperately to make a living, So Su Liang made up his mind, and finally took his family to kill the officers and soldiers, and fled to Erlong Mountain to become a bandit.

For their arrival, everyone in Erlong Mountain naturally welcomed them very much.

Chao Qing reached an agreement with Lu Zhishen, Wu Song and others. Erlongshan and Liangshan will form a brother village. From then on, they will have the same blessings and share the same difficulties. If Liangshan sends troops to attack Yuanbi village, Erlongshan will also come to help.

After getting the promise from Lu Zhishen and others, Chao Qing took Yang Lin to Liu Taigong's house first, and returned to Liangshan with Liu Taigong and Liu Cuilian.

Chao Qing first introduced Yang Lin to everyone, and when Chao Gai saw that a good man came to vote, he was very happy and let him take the top spot.Then Chao Qing reported that he had concluded an alliance with Erlongshan. Chao Gai, Lin Chong and others were overjoyed, and most of the leaders were also happy.Of course, Chao Qing didn't mention the killing of Yuanbi Village and Murong Yanda yet.

Finally, Chao Qing reported to Chao Gai that he was married, and pleaded guilty for not informing Chao Gai in time.Seeing that the uncooked rice had already been cooked, Chao Gai couldn't say anything.

Wu Yong also persuaded from the side: "We are all heroes in the world, we don't care about common etiquette, as long as the young leader and Miss Liu and his wife are of the same heart, then it will be good."

So the cottage was decorated with lights and festoons again, and a lively wedding was held for the two. Everyone in the cottage came to send blessings, which was very lively and festive.

After finishing all this work, Chao Qing carefully inquired about the situation in the cottage when he was away. What he didn't expect was that Song Jiang had already sent two of his capable apprentices, Kong Ming and Kong Liang, to Liangshan with a letter. There are more than 700 Baihushan people who went up the mountain.In addition, Song Jiang also relied on his prestige in the world to attract many heroes to the mountain, and these people were arranged by Chao Gai to be middle-level small bosses.

That night, Chao Qing came to Chao Gai's residence alone. When he saw Chao Gai, he knelt down to Chao Gai with a plop.

Chao Gai didn't know why, so he quickly helped him up, and asked with concern: "My son, what are you doing?"

"Father, if my son makes a big mistake, will father punish me?"

Hearing what Chao Qing said, Chao Gai guessed that he must have caused trouble by going down the mountain this time, so he said: "As the saying goes, a son doesn't teach his father and son wrong. If you really made any mistakes, it must be because I, the father, didn't do a good job. , how can I punish you?"

Chao Qing was also moved when he heard this, although he was not considered Chao Gai's son, but since time travel, this nominal father still took good care of him, making him, an orphan, feel the warmth of family affection for the first time.

"The boy went down the mountain this time, and caused a big disaster!"

Chao Gai said with a smile: "I know. Tell me what trouble you have caused. If we are wronged, we should apologize to others. If you have done nothing wrong, then we Liangshan will not be afraid of others coming to argue."

"Haier thinks he did nothing wrong. It's just that he saw injustice and acted righteously. It's just that the people he offends are not ordinary people."

"We are heroes, do justice for the heavens, and only ask for a clear conscience. No matter who you offend, my father will support you."

So Chao Qing explained how to rescue the captive woman, how to fight against Yuanbi Village, how to eradicate Tang Meng together with Erlong Mountain, and finally how to kill Murong Yanda, etc., from beginning to end, including this time. One of the main reasons for getting married is also to save lives.

Chao Gai was silent when he heard that, and frowned tightly.

"Father, this matter was done by the child alone. It has nothing to do with the village. The child has a clear conscience. If the father doesn't want to make trouble with the Yuanbi village, he can send the child to the Yuanbi village and let them do what they want."

Chao Gai laughed, and said, "My son, what do you think of being a father? I, Chao Gai, an indomitable man, if he can't protect his own children, is he still a human being? Don't say that you messed with Yuanbi Village. If you offend the Zhao official family, I will still support you as a father."

Chao Qing was very moved in his heart, this Chao Gai really has nothing to say about his kindness to the people around him.So Chao Qing took the opportunity to propose to send troops to destroy Yuanbi Village.

Chao Gai said: "This matter still needs to be discussed with Brother Gongming and the military advisor!"

"Even if you want to discuss with them, father must first have an opinion in his heart!"

Chao Gai pondered for a while, then slapped his thigh, and said quite proudly: "Since we have formed a relationship with Yuanbi Village, we will fight sooner or later. If we don't send troops now, wouldn't it appear that I, Liangshan, are too lacking in ambition?" .In my opinion, let’s go and wipe out this Yuanbi stronghold.”

So the two invited Song Jiang, Wu Yong and Lin Chong over, and Chao Gai told them that he was going to send troops to Yuanbi Village.

Both Song Jiang and Wu Yong were taken aback, how could they suddenly start a war with Yuanbi Village!
Chao Qing recounted the evil deeds in Yuanbi Village.

Song Jiangdao: "Even so, it is not necessary to start a war with Yuanbi Village. It is said that enemies should be resolved rather than knotted. Why not send someone to make peace, and avoid a war!"

Chao Gai said: "Your brother's words are wrong. Yuanbi Village's evil deeds are obvious and are despised by the heroes of the world. How can we make peace with such a person!"

Chao Qing also took the opportunity to say: "Father's words are true. Let Liangshan act on behalf of the heavens and send troops to Yuanbi Village, just to let the world know my righteousness of Liangshan. After this battle, Liangshan's prestige in the rivers and lakes will be great. Besides, Yuanbi Village is rich in money and food. Conquering the Yuanbi Village can also supplement the income of the Shanzhai."

Song Jiang still said worriedly: "But I heard that Chen Xizhen has a lot of schemes, and most of his subordinates are good at fighting. After this battle, he may not be able to return with a complete victory."

Chao Qing said: "His Yuanbi Village has only 2000 troops, which is less than one-third of my Liangshan. Our Liangshan is also like a cloud of warriors, no worse than his Yuanbi Village. Besides, Erlong Mountain is there to help in this battle. Why can't we destroy him?"

Lin Chong got up and said: "Lin Chong is willing to lead the army to level the Yuanbi stronghold!"
