Water Margin: You dog official, you still say you don’t know martial arts?

Chapter 403 Gao Qiu: Is it your fault or mine? [2 more]

Hua Yue Niang and Hu San Niang were annoyed by the old man with white beard, so they wanted the old lady to put on lipstick to teach him a lesson.

But unexpectedly, the old lady crawled into the bed and made the old man with white beard laugh!

The old man with white beard hadn't fought with anyone for a long time. Today, he was in a good mood, so he played with Hua Yue Niang and Hu San Niang, two beautiful young ladies.

Hua Yue Niang and Hu San Niang originally thought that an old man with a white beard could be easily controlled by the two of them, right?
Unexpectedly, the old man with white beard is quite difficult to deal with!
Even the two of them combined couldn't defeat the old man with white beard.

So before they knew it, Hua Yueniang and Hu Sanniang had started to get serious about it.

In the end, even if they joined forces, they couldn't defeat the old man with white beard.

Instead, he was mocked by the old man with white beard:
"A month of sticks, a year of swords, a lifetime of guns, where are you just now...

"The shooting skills are ordinary...

"The swordsmanship is only for show...

"The two of them teamed up to play their own games...

"They are still the peerless duo, but that's it? That's it?"

Hua Yue Niang and Hu San Niang were so tired that they were sweating and panting, but they didn't hurt the white-bearded old man at all!

Just when Hua Yueniang and Hu Sanniang were feeling discouraged, Lu Junyi happened to pass by and hurriedly called out:

"Master, don't hurt them!"

Master?

Is he your master?
Hua Yueniang and Hu Sanniang suddenly realized:
It turns out that the old man with white beard is the Shaanxi hero Iron-Armed Zhou Tong!

Since Zhou Tong went to Liangshan, he built a thatched hut in the back mountain to live in and seldom came to the front mountain.

So Hua Yue Niang and Hu San Niang didn't recognize him, and they were wondering where this old man with a white beard came from who was so fierce...

It was not until Lu Junyi called them out that they realized:

It turns out that they were facing the former number one in the world!

In this way, Hua Yue Niang and Hu San Niang would not be discouraged.

Even peerless masters like Lu Junyi, Lin Chong and Wu Song were Zhou Tong's disciples.

It is reasonable and logical that the two of them cannot defeat Zhou Tong together.

What's more, the two of them teamed up to fight Zhou Tong for at least fifty or sixty rounds.

If this matter were to get out, it would actually help raise their profile.

Hua Yueniang and Hu Sanniang hurriedly stopped and greeted Zhou Tong:

"Mrs. Huayue and Mrs. Hu San pay their respects to Mr. Zhou!
"We sisters were blind and did not recognize the great man. We have offended Mr. Zhou. Please forgive us, Mr. Zhou!"

Zhou Tong is already seventy-six years old, why would he bother with two young girls?
After playing with Hua Yue Niang and Hu San Niang for a while, I felt a lot younger!
Zhou Tong smiled and waved his hand:

"No offense, no offense!"

Lu Junyi quickly stepped forward to introduce them to Zhou Tong:

"Master, this tall girl is my second brother Lu Zhishen's adopted sister, Yizhangqing Hu Sanniang.

"This short one is my seventh brother Hua Rong's biological sister, Chang'e Shooting the Sun and Huayueniang..."

Zhou Tong nodded with a smile:

"I know, I know, the two most outstanding heroes!

“I’ve heard of their names in the back mountain. They are considered the best among the young people!

"Today, the two of them were sparring, and I happened to pass by, so I gave them some pointers!
"I hope they don't blame me for being too talkative!"

Hua Yue Niang was so moved that she bowed to Zhou Tong and said:
"Mr. Zhou, Yue Niang wants to learn martial arts from you!"

After being reminded by Hua Yue Niang, Hu San Niang also bowed her head and said:

"Mr. Zhou, please accept me as your disciple!"

The two of them have special identities, and Lu Junyi intercedes for them:
“Master, please accept both of them!

"They are my elder..."

"Cough cough!"

Hua Yueniang and Hu Sanniang coughed at the same time.

Lu Junyi blinked his eyes and changed his words flexibly:
"...An opponent who might fail even if he tries to be careful, he has great talent!

"Under the guidance of the master, you will become a great man!"

Zhou Tong was in a good mood today, and with Lu Junyi, the founding disciple, pleading for him, he nodded in agreement:
"I am old, and I have already accepted a closed disciple. I can only accept you two as nominal disciples..."

Just be a registered disciple!

He is such a big shot, the best in the world, it's good enough that he can remember our names!
Hua Yueniang and Hu Sanniang looked at each other and bowed to the ground at the same time:
"Disciple Hua Yueniang and Hu Sanniang pay their respects to the Master!"

Zhou Tong laughed out loud:

"Okay, okay, you guys will come to the back mountain to learn martial arts with my disciples from now on."

……

Tokyo, Palace Marshal's Mansion.

"boom--"

Gao Qiu was furious: (ノ益)ノ彡┻━┻

Hu Yanzhuo was silent.

"waste!"

Gao Qiu pointed at Hu Yanzhuo's nose and cursed:

“You have three groups of troops, a total of 20,000 men!

"We attacked a small Liangshan Lake, but the whole army was annihilated?

"Guan Sheng, Xuan Zan, Hao Siwen, Shan Tinggui, and Wei Dingguo have all surrendered to the enemy. How dare you come back to see me?"

Hu Yanzhuo was confused:
Then I go?
Am I joining the bandits too?
Now that I'm here, I definitely can't just leave like this.

Hu Yanzhuo had no choice but to swallow his anger and was scolded by Gao Qiu.

When Gao Qiu was tired of scolding him, Hu Yanzhuo carefully explained himself:
"En Xiang, this matter really cannot be blamed on me..."

"If you don't blame me, who do you blame?"

Gao Qiu glared and said, "You blame me?"

Hu Yanzhuo: "No..."

"What's not?"

Gao Qiu asked sternly:

"Is it your fault or mine?"

Under Gao Qiu's stern questioning, Hu Yanzhuo shrank his neck and said against his will:

"Mine is not..."

"Since you've already admitted it, there's nothing more to say!"

Gao Qiu was too lazy to talk nonsense with him:

A mere warrior, not worth mentioning!
What's so great about courage that cannot be matched by ten thousand men?
Have I not shown enough courage in persecuting people?
Wang Jin, Lin Chong, Yang Zhi...which one of them is not brave enough to match ten thousand men?
What is it worth?

Gao Qiu waved his sleeves:
"Hu Yanzhuo was ordered to cooperate with Guan Sheng to suppress the bandits. The entire army was wiped out, and only this man returned!

“This person must be colluding with the rebels!

"Come here, take Hu Yanzhuo to the prison and wait for interrogation!"

Several guards nearby immediately rushed forward, pinned Hu Yanzhuo to the ground and tied him up!
"Unfair—"

If Hu Yanzhuo wanted to struggle, how could these guards tie him up?
But Hu Yanzhuo heard Gao Qiu's words and didn't say he was dead, so he didn't struggle firmly and was tied up by several guards:

"Thank you, I'm wronged..."

Gao Qiu was too lazy to listen to him anymore. Someone had to take the blame for such a big thing!
Cai Jing definitely wouldn’t be able to recite it, he definitely wouldn’t be able to recite it.

Guan Sheng, Xuan Zan, Hao Siwen, Shan Tinggui and Wei Dingguo all defected to the rebels. The most we can do is punish their families, but we can't let them take the blame.

Then it will be Hu Yanzhuo's turn to carry it!

As for Hu Yanzhuo being wrongly accused, so what?
Gao Qiu said he was guilty, but he was guilty even if he was innocent!

Gao Qiu said he was innocent, so he was innocent even if he was guilty!

After several guards dragged Hu Yanzhuo out, Gao Qiu ordered Li Yuhou:

"Immediately send people to arrest Guan Sheng, Xuan Zan, Hao Siwen, Shan Tinggui, Wei Dingguo and Hu Yanzhuo's family!

"One is missing, you are the only one asking!"

Li Yuhou: “Yes!”
