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

Chapter 644: Lu Shi Nang: The clown is actually me? [1 more]

It was a dark and windy night outside the city of Changzhou.

Lu Shinang looked up at the tall city walls, his heart filled with despair:

"En Xiang, how can we enter the city?"

"Not urgent."

Liu Gao, wearing a black robe, walked to the foot of the wall, looked up at the top of the wall and listened carefully.

"When will the reinforcements arrive?"

"I heard that the three kings in Suzhou sent a large army to attack Runzhou from our side!"

"Hey! The army of the three kings, please come quickly. If they don't come, I'm almost suffocating to death!"

"What are you holding back? You went to see Xiao Taohong last night..."

"I'm not! I didn't! Stop talking nonsense!"

The three kings of Suzhou?

Liu Gao knew that they were talking about Fang La's brother Fang Mao, who was one of the three royal brothers and was stationed in the important city of Suzhou.

As far as Liu Gao knew, Suzhou had 70,000 defenders, and Fang Mao also had the famous "Eight Cavalrymen of the South" under his command!
The "Eight Great Knights of the South" are much more valuable than the "Twelve Gods of Jiangnan", and they are basically all fierce generals.

Since Fang Mao has sent reinforcements, Liu Gao must hurry and capture Changzhou before the reinforcements arrive.

Liu Gao was not interested in whether the defenders on the city wall were looking for Xiao Taohong, he just walked forward along the wall.

Wu Song and Shi Qian, who also changed into night clothes, followed Liu Gao closely.

Lu Shi Nang was confused:
What are you doing?
Although I don’t know what Liu Gao is doing, he seems very powerful!

Lu Shinang had no choice but to follow closely behind him, and saw that Liu Gao stopped after walking a distance and seemed to be listening to something.

But it was the middle of the night and everything was quiet. Lu Shinang could not hear anything unusual even when he pricked up his ears.

Unable to resist secretly poking the seemingly easy-going Shi Qian, Lu Shi Nang pointed at his own mouth shape and asked Shi Qian:
What is Eun-sang doing?
Shi Qian pointed at Liu Gao and then at his ear.

Lu Shinang understood but he didn't know what he understood...

So Lu Shinang could only follow Shi Qian, walking and stopping, until Liu Gao stopped.

Liu Gao listened carefully for a while, and confirmed that the guards on the city wall were asleep, then he turned around and looked at Shi Qian:

"Brother Qian'er, it's up to you!"

"Just wait and see, sir!

"spit!"

Shi Qian spat into his palm, took a few steps back, glanced at the city wall and began to sprint forward!
"Whoosh-"

With a leap, Shi Qian jumped more than ten feet high!
Then Shi Qian lightly tapped the brick cracks of the city wall with his toes, and took off again like a dragonfly touching the water, and landed directly on the city wall!

Although Shi Qian could jump directly onto the city wall, considering that it might wake up the defenders, Shi Qian chose to put his hands on the edge of the city wall first, and then carefully stick his head out to check when he heard no movement.

Sure enough, the two defenders fell asleep against the city wall with their guns in their arms, snoring softly.

My husband is so awesome!
Shi Qian was so impressed by Liu Gao that he exerted force with both hands and climbed up the city wall.

His lightness skills were so great that his feet landed on the ground as fast as a civet cat, without making any sound.

Peeking out from the battlement, Shi Qian waved his hand.

He couldn't see Liu Gao, but he knew Liu Gao could definitely see him.

Sure enough, after he waved his hand, a golden light flew up from under the city!

Shi Qian grabbed the golden light.

Strangely enough, the golden light lost its power as soon as it reached his hands.

My husband, your calculations are so accurate?
Shi Qian secretly admired that the golden light he caught was actually the twenty-four golden hooks of the Hongmian Lasso!

After firmly grasping the flagpole with the twenty-four golden hooks, Shi Qian pulled the red cotton lasso twice.

At the foot of the city wall, Lu Shinang looked at the red cotton lasso and then at Liu Gao in amazement:

"I climb up?"

Liu Gao nodded:
"Hurry up and climb!
"The longer we delay, the more likely we'll be discovered by the sentinels!"

"Yes..." Although Lu Shinang was good at martial arts, he didn't know how to do light work, so he could only climb up cautiously.

Looking up from the bottom of the city wall, it seems very high, but only when you climb to the top do you realize how high it is.

Sitting on the parapet, Lu Shinang's calves were cramping.

Then he saw Wu Song climbing up.

Wu Song was much more agile than him. He climbed up in no time and put away the red cotton lasso.

Lu Shinang was stunned: "Why doesn't the Minister En come up?"

Shi Qian pointed: "Isn't that it?"

When Lu Shinang looked back, he saw Liu Gao soaring into the sky like an eagle and landing lightly on the top of the city wall!

"hiss--"

Lu Shinang couldn't help but take a breath of cold air:
No, are the requirements for becoming an official so high now?
He was the one who killed the previous governor of Runzhou. It was obvious that all those officials were good-for-nothings!

Why is Liu Gao so versatile?

[Lu Shi Nang's favorability +1000! ]

Liu Gao climbed up the city wall, took the red cotton lasso handed to him by Wu Song, and tried to go down from the other side of the wall.

They moved swiftly and coordinated well, and entered the city easily without alerting the defenders.

Lu Shinang was sweating profusely.

He thought Liu Gao would be a burden, but he didn't expect that the clown would be himself...

Lu Shinang was familiar with the terrain, and he and Liu Gao and the other two quickly found the residence of Xu Ding, his confidant.

Still without going through the door, Liu Gao and Shi Qian cooperated to take Lu Shinang and Wu Song over the wall into the yard.

With Lu Shinang leading the way, Liu Gao and his men found Xu Ding, who was recuperating, with ease.

As a middle-aged man, Xu Ding had no choice but to fight again and again in the backyard, but he was defeated again and again, so he had to call a truce today.

Seeing that Lu Shinang was stunned, Xu Ding suddenly sat up and exclaimed nonchalantly:
"Brother, are you a human or a ghost?"

"Nonsense! I'm not dead yet!"

Lu Shinang stepped forward and let Xu Ding touch it a few times.

When he found it was warm, Xu Ding felt relieved:
"Brother, I heard that you surrendered to the imperial court?"

"No, I voted for En Xiang!"

Lu Shinang introduced Xu Ding to Liu Gao:
"This is Liu Gao, the governor of Yangzhou and the governor of Pingnan!

"Why don't you come and see En Xiang?"

Xu Ding was indeed Lu Shinang's confidant. Lu Shinang asked him to pay homage to Liu Gao, and he did so.

[Xu Ding's favorability +100! ]

[Congratulations to the host and Xu Ding for becoming “casual friends”! ]

Since Xu Ding had become their own man, Liu Gao and Lu Shinang told him all their plans.

Xu Ding agreed readily, and the matter was settled.

After leaving Xu Ding's house, Lu Shinang asked Liu Gao:
"En Xiang, are we leaving the city?"

"No, we're going to meet someone else."

Liu Gao told Lu Shinang, who continued to lead the way and brought Liu Gao to Jinjie's mansion.

Jin Jie was discussing something with Qin Yulan:
"My dear, I have something to say but I don't know whether I should say it or not..."

Qin Yulan: "You and I are husband and wife, what is there that shouldn't be said?"

Jin Jie: "My husband wants to take a concubine!"

Qin Yulan narrowed her eyes and asked, "Sir, have you found anyone?"

Jin Jie held Qin Yulan in his arms and said with courage:
"Madam, Yumei is not young anymore..."

Qin Yulan: (￣ε(#￣)☆╰╮（▼皿▼）
