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

Chapter 642 Fang La: Shandong's No. 2 Tiger Minister, is he so terrifying? [ more]

"what?"

Fang La couldn't believe his ears:

"What did Pu Wenying see?"

The attendant who came to report knelt on the ground and dared not utter a word:
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I didn't know..."

Fang La also knew that he couldn't possibly know that. If he knew, he would surely bleed to death.

So the question is, what did Pu Wenying see?
Fang La jumped off the dragon bed, without even bothering to put on his shoes or clothes, and ran out of the hall in one breath.

However, his palace was built in Bangyuan Cave, so he could not see the sky at any time.

Fang La could only wait for someone to bring a sedan chair, and then hurried to the observatory surrounded by guards.

Without even taking a look at Pu Wenying's body, Fang La looked up at the starry sky, but... he was left with nothing.

No, what the hell is this?
Fang La tilted his head back with his mouth wide open, looking so much that his eyes hurt, and he had no idea why Pu Wenying had died.

"His Majesty!"

Just when Fang La decided not to look anymore, someone called him from behind.

Fang La looked back and saw that the person coming was a Taoist with untied hair.

The Taoist carries a sword on his back, and he looks like a sword drawn from its sheath!
Sharp and unmatched!
“It turned out to be the Heavenly Master!”

Seeing the Taoist with untied hair, Fang La breathed a sigh of relief. This was Bao Daoyi, the spiritual master under his command!

The four great bandits in "Water Margin" were all assisted by immortals or demons.

Song Jiang has Gongsun Sheng and Fan Rui.

Tian Hu had Qiao Daoqing and Ma Ling.

Wang Qing had Li Zhu and Kou Wei.

Fang La had Bao Daoyi and Zheng Biao.

Bao Daoyi was a powerful magician who once cut off Wu Song's left arm with a flying sword. He was killed by a cannon blast.

With Bao Daoyi by his side, Fang La felt more confident:
"Tianshi, do you think this celestial phenomenon is mysterious?"

Bao Daoyi was not good at observing the night sky, but he was good at calculating. So he looked up at the starry sky and calculated with his fingers:
"puff--"

In no more than two seconds, Bao Daoyi also spat out a mouthful of blood towards the sky!

His body swayed and he fell backwards!
"Tian-shi-"

Fang La was so frightened that his soul left his body. He was at a loss as to what to do. He could only watch Bao Daoyi fall backwards!

"In the end what happened?"

Fang La felt so cold in his heart that he fell to the ground!
At this moment, someone suddenly came to report:
"Your Majesty, this is not good, this is not good!"

Fang La opened and closed his mouth twice but could not utter a word, so he could only reluctantly raise his hand to the eunuch who came to report.

The eunuch said in a panic:

"Your Majesty, something serious has happened!
"The imperial court sent Shandong's most powerful minister, Liu Gao, to attack our country!
"Liu Gao has already captured Runzhou!
"Eastern Hall Privy Councilor Lü Shinang and four commanders, Shen Gang, Xu Tong, Gao Keli, and Zhang Jinren, surrendered to Liu Gao!

"The other eight commanders died in battle..."

"hiss--"

Fang La couldn't help but gasp:
How could Shandong's most powerful minister be so terrifying?
"His Majesty……"

A eunuch next to him seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.

Fang La glanced at him, and the eunuch mustered up the courage to speak cautiously:

"Will the celestial phenomena observed by Eunuch Pu be reflected in this person?"

"Oh!"

Fang La was awakened by his words:

Isn't it!

As soon as Pu Wenying died, he received the news that Liu Gao had captured Runzhou!

Would you believe that the astronomical phenomena observed by Pu Wenying had nothing to do with Liu Gao?

"His Majesty--"

After Bao Daoyi arrived, the next person to arrive was the palace commander Zheng Biao.

Zheng Biao, nicknamed "Zheng Mojun", is Bao Daoyi's apprentice and has learned many magical skills.

When Zheng Biao came and saw Pu Wenying lying on the ground with blood in his mouth, Bao Daoyi was also lying on the ground with blood in his mouth. He was shocked!
Zheng Biao couldn't help but raise his hand and wanted to count with his fingers.

Fang La didn't know where he got the strength from, he suddenly rushed forward and grabbed Zheng Biao's hand tightly:

"My dear, please don't calculate. Please don't calculate!"

Zheng Biao was confused: "Why?" Fang La turned around with a sad face and looked at Pu Wenying and Bao Daoyi:

"They have already calculated it..."

"hiss--"

Zheng Biao was so frightened that he clenched his fists:

so close!

"My dear, I just got some news..."

Fang La took a breath and told Zheng Biao about Liu Gao's occupation of Runzhou:

"I suspect this matter is related to Liu Gao..."

Zheng Biao was stunned for two seconds: "Your Majesty is right to doubt!
"This matter is probably related to Liu Gao!"

Fang La was depressed: "What can I do?"

Zheng Biao frowned and analyzed:

"Your Majesty, if Liu Gao wants to continue south, he can either go through Changzhou or Xuanzhou.

"If we go to Changzhou, Qian Zhenpeng, the governor of Changzhou, is more courageous than ten thousand men!

"If we go to Xuanzhou, the governor of Xuanzhou, Jia Yuqing, has six commanders under him who are all very capable!

"It won't be easy for Liu Gao to go to Changzhou or Xuanzhou!
"As soon as he is blocked by our army, I will personally lead the army to support him!

"No matter what, I will take Liu Gao's head for your majesty!"

"Good! Good! Good!"

Fang La felt relieved after hearing Zheng Biao's words:
"In that case, I'll leave this matter to you, my dear!"

Zheng Biao: "It's all on me!"

……

Runzhou.

"Big brother, second brother, sixth brother, ninth brother!"

Wu Song let go of Dai Zong's hand and casually pulled back his messy hair that had been blown into a "Shamatte" style by the strong wind:
"I'm coming too!"

Dai Zong went first to inform Guan Sheng, and Guan Sheng came on his own riding Red Hare. Dai Zong then went to fetch Wu Song.

Since Dai Zong could only lead one person, Shi Xiu, Shan Tinggui and Wei Dingguo led the army behind.

"Here we come, brother!"

Liu Gao hugged Wu Song excitedly.

Before, when there were only Sun An, Qin Ming and a few others around me, I always felt insecure.

Only when Guan Sheng and Wu Song arrived did Liu Gao feel relieved.

After Wu Song hugged his brothers one by one, he told Liu Gao:
"Brother, the 4,000 troops from Dengyun Mountain have been incorporated into Wutou City, so Wutou City now has a total of 10,000 troops!

"I brought three thousand men with me this time. Shi Xiu, Shan Tinggui, and Wei Dingguo will each bring a thousand men and will follow later!"

"it is good!"

Liu Gao remembered that there were 4,000 troops in Wutou City and 3,000 troops in Dengyun Mountain.

During this period of time, they were allowed to develop freely and their military strength increased.

However, because the various mountain strongholds are too close to each other, it is inevitable that the heroes who come to seek refuge will be divided.

When the territory became larger, Liu Gao felt that it would be enough to keep only Liangshan Lake in Shandong.

By then, there will be copycats along the way, and development will be faster across the board.

With Guan Sheng and Wu Song, Liu Gao summoned Lu Shi Nang:

"Old Lu, come and explain the map to the brothers."

"Yes!"

As the Privy Councilor, Lu Shinang had a map of the Southern Kingdom in his hand, so he took out the map and explained it to everyone:

“The rebel’s palace is in Qingxi County, and our army has two routes to choose from.

“The first is to take the route of Changzhou, Suzhou and Hangzhou.

“The second is to take the route through Xuanzhou, Huzhou and Hangzhou.

“The enemy’s forces along the Xuanzhou and Huzhou routes are relatively small.

"But if we go through Changzhou, I will have an advantage..."

Qin Ming was impatient and couldn't stand him keeping things in suspense, so he kept asking:
"What advantages? Tell me quickly!"
