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

Chapter 711: Liu Gao Flies Over the Eaves and Walks on the Walls, Xu Ning Is Exiled to Qingzhou [2 more]

So what is the use of this talent?

Liu Gao consulted the system and found out that the so-called "crime of deceiving the emperor" meant that if Liu Gao committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, as long as Liu Gao did not dance in front of Song Huizong, Song Huizong would ignore it 100%.

To put it in an analogy, it is a "false" crime that never existed!

This talent seems very powerful, but unfortunately it cannot be tested for the time being, so Liu Gao decided to try "flying over eaves and walking on walls".

Liu Gao quietly emerged from among his brothers and jumped to the ground as light as a swallow.

In order not to wake up his brothers, Liu Gao did not wear shoes and walked out barefoot.

When he got outside, Liu Gao stepped on the wall to try out the feel.

Then he bent his legs and kicked them, and flew up as if he had stepped on a spring!
When he reached the highest point, Liu Gao stepped on the wall!
Strangely enough, Liu Gao seemed to have escaped the pull of gravity!
With the body parallel to the ground, he took a few quick steps along the wall!
He didn't stop until his face was about to touch the roof, then turned around and climbed onto the beam!

The whole process was as smooth as flowing water!

"Flying over eaves and walking on walls" and "as light as a swallow" are a perfect match!
Liu Gao estimated that even if it was the city wall of Tokyo, he could climb up directly with his "flying over eaves and walking on walls" and "being as light as a swallow".

After trying it, Liu Gao went back to his brothers and fell into a deep sleep...

The next day.

Xu Jing and Mei Zhan were pleasantly surprised to find that they recovered quickly after taking the secret pills given by Liu Gao internally and applying them externally.

"I heard that my brother added a lot of tiger whip to our pills!"

Mei Zhan said with emotion:

“It’s so precious!”

"Yeah, otherwise how could it get better so quickly!"

Xu Jing was also very emotional.

They only had minor injuries, and since they were strong and healthy, it was conceivable that they would be able to be healthy again in ten days or half a month at most.

Now I can walk independently.

Mei Zhan stood up with the help of the wall and took two steps, then said to Xu Jing:

"Brother Xu, I need to go back to Runan, Yingzhou.

"I can't say how many soldiers I have, but I can lead about 80,000 men without any problem.

"Brother Liu Haizhu has been very kind to me. Bringing more people to Liangshan is a way of repaying him."

Xu Jing nodded: "That's what I meant.

“The imperial court will not let this go, and the next general sent by the imperial court will be even more difficult to deal with.

"I will also bring some men here to help Liangshanpo gain momentum."

After the two men had discussed it, they went to see Liu Gao together.

Liu Gao naturally would not object, so he sent Zhang Bao and Wang Heng to protect one of them each.

It’s not that they want to monitor Xu Jing and Mei Zhan, but Xu Jing and Mei Zhan are now covered in wounds, and it is too difficult and too dangerous for them to walk a long distance alone.

Without anyone to protect me, I'm afraid I'll be kidnapped by some strong man along the way and have my heart cut out to make a hangover soup.

After breakfast, they split into three groups. Zhang Bao escorted Mei Zhan to Runan, and Wang Heng escorted Xu Jing to Taiyuan.

Liu Gao and his men continued to return to Liangshanpo.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Kaifeng Mansion.

Teng prefect went to the hall and ordered Xu Ning to be stripped of the long shackle, beaten with twenty sticks, and have his cheeks tattooed by a scribe. According to the distance of the place, he should be sent to Qingzhou prison.

In the hall, a seven-and-a-half-jin round-head iron leaf protective shackle was made and nailed on, a seal was affixed, a written document was attached, and two guards were sent to escort him forward.

The two escort officers were Dong Chao and Xue Ba.

In the original novel, these two escorted Lin Chong first and then Lu Junyi, and they specialized in escorting brave men who were not as brave as ten thousand men.

But Liu Gao traveled through time and changed the plot. They only escorted Lin Chong and not Lu Junyi, so they were able to live to this day.

Dong Chao and Xue Ba received the official document and escorted Xu Ning out of Kaifeng Prefecture.

I saw Madam Xu Ning waiting in front of the mansion with a child of about six or seven years old.

This six or seven-year-old boy is Xu Sheng, the son of Xu Ning, who is also a general in "The Sequel to Water Margin".

After his parents passed away, Xu Sheng was adopted by Hu Yanzhuo, who asked him to study literature with Wen Huanzhang together with his son Hu Yanyu.

Later, Xu Sheng and Huyan Yu, Song Qing's son Song Anping, and Hua Rong's son Hua Fengchun became sworn brothers, and finally followed Li Jun to Siam.

He also married Hu Yanzhuo's daughter Hu Yanyuying, but that's another story.

The mother and daughter cried with Xu Ning, and then gave silver to Dong Chao and Xue Ba.

Dong Chao took the ten taels of silver, and Madam Xu said kindly:

"This is to honor the two Duang Gongs!"

Ten taels of silver, should we split it in half?

Dong Chao and Xue Ba looked at each other and curled their lips:
No sincerity at all!
"Don't worry, ma'am!"

Xu Ning comforted Madam Xu:
"I have been struggling in Qingzhou for several years. I have to come back and reunite with my wife!"

Madam Xu just cried and couldn't speak.

Xu Ning also told his son Xu Sheng:
"Practice martial arts well and don't cause trouble.

"When your father is not at home, you must be careful about everything."

Dong Chao and Xue Ba took Xu Ning to the envoy's room and imprisoned him. Then they went home and packed their luggage.

Dong Chao was tying up his parcel at home when he saw the bartender at the hotel at the corner of the alley saying:
"Mr. Dong Duan, a gentleman would like to speak to me in my shop."

Dong Chao: “Who is it?”

Bartender: "I don't recognize you, just ask the waiter to come."

Dong Chao and the bartender went straight into the counter in the store, and saw a wealthy official with goldfish eyes.

The official with goldfish eyes asked Dong Chao to sit down:

"Please wait a moment, Master."

After a while, Xue Chao also came.

When everyone was present, the senior official with goldfish eyes took out ten taels of gold and placed them on the table.

Dong Chao and Xue Ba looked at each other. In fact, it was a basic operation for them to take money and do things in this line of work. But it was obvious that this big official with goldfish eyes was not an ordinary person.

So Dong Chao and Xue Ba confiscated the gold and asked:
"I don't know you, your Excellency. Why did you give me gold?"

The senior official with goldfish eyes said: "Blah blah blah..."

After coming out of the hotel, Dong Chao and Xue Ba went home to get their luggage and took the water and fire sticks, then went to the envoy's room to get Xu Ning, and escorted him on the road.

After walking for a day, Xu Ning's sores broke out.

He had also just been beaten with hundreds of sticks, and he was walking on the road step by step, unable to move, just like Lin Chong in the past.

Dong Chao and Xue Ba were not polite to him at all. If he walked slowly, they would beat and scold him. Xu Ning was miserable.

That night the three of them went to an inn in the village. When they entered the inn, Dong Chao and Xue Ba both looked at Xu Ning.

Xu Ning was exhausted both physically and mentally at this time, so he didn't have the energy to do that. He just fell to the side holding the wooden yoke, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Dong Chao was furious: "This beast is so ignorant!

"Does the master have to pay the store out of his own pocket?"

Xue Ba was also very unhappy, and pulled Dong Chao out to a corner to whisper in his ear:

"Xu Ning is a man of few eyes and no sense of taste, and he doesn't have much money, so there's nothing to be gained from him.

"Since the Privy Councilor wants his life, why do we have to go to Qingzhou to take action?

“It’s just in the woods ahead!
"I have the support of the Privy Councilor. If Kaifeng Prefecture has anything to say, it won't be a problem for the Privy Councilor to give his orders."

"This is impossible!"

Dong Chao glared at Xue Ba:
"Have you forgotten what happened to Master Lin?
"If another flower monk showed up on the way, without Master Lin's advice, both you and I would be beaten to death!"

Xue Ba spread his hands: "What can I do?"

Dong Chao's two little eyes rolled around:
“Brother, we have been to Qingzhou before.

"Do you still remember that there is a Erlong Mountain in Qingzhou?"

Xue Ba nodded: "Of course I remember!
"There's a group of bald donkeys on Erlong Mountain!

"Not only did they rob people of their money and their bodies, they also wanted to kill them. How cruel!"

Dong Chao looked around to see if there was anyone around, and whispered in Xue Ba's ear:
"Let's just keep going and torture that guy as much as possible on the way.

“If there really is someone protecting us secretly, we will definitely stop them.

"At that time we just said it was unintentional and we didn't think they would kill us.

"If the person who secretly protects me hasn't shown up when I arrive in Qingzhou, then I don't exist.

"We did this at the foot of Erlong Mountain."

Xue Ba's eyes lit up: "We can also frame Erlongshan!"

"Not bad!"

Dong Chao chuckled:
"In that case, we can go to Qingzhou and ask for a reply, and Kaifeng Prefecture will have nothing to say.

"Isn't that wonderful?"

Xue Ba gave a thumbs up: "Great! Great!"

After the discussion, Dong Chao and Xue Ba went back, took out some change and asked the waiter to buy some wine and meat.

Xue Ba skillfully boiled a pot of boiling soup, brought it over and poured it into the foot basin, shouting:

"Coach Xu, you should also wash your feet and sleep well."

Xu Ning was called out of his half-sleep and struggled to get up.

He wanted to wash his feet himself but was blocked by the wooden yoke and couldn't bend down.

Xue Ba said hypocritically:

"I'll wash it for you."

Xu Ning hurriedly said: "No way!"

Xue Ba smiled in a simple and honest manner: "People who leave the place care a lot."

Seeing Xue Ba's honest and simple appearance, Xu Ning, who was half asleep, did not resist and stretched out his leg.

Xue Ba grabbed Xu Ning's feet and pressed them into the boiling soup!
Xu Ning screamed in pain:
"Oh mom!"

I hurriedly pulled my feet back and saw that the soles of my feet were all red and swollen from the burn.

Xu Ning instinctively wanted to curse, but he had to bow his head under the eaves, so he had to politely refuse:
"I am not worthy of this..."

Xue Ba cursed and said:

"I have only seen sinners serving officials, but have I ever seen officials serving sinners?
"I asked him to wash my feet with good intentions, but he complained about the cold and the heat. Isn't this a good deed that goes unrewarded?"

Xu Ning didn't dare to answer and fell aside.

At this moment, Xu Ning inexplicably thought of Lin Chong.

Lin Chong was also exiled to Kaifeng Prefecture at the beginning, and I don’t know if Lin Chong also suffered so much.

Could it be that he did not send Lin Chong away back then and betrayed their brotherhood, so today he has to suffer the same pain that Lin Chong suffered?
Ugh……

Xu Ning curled up into a ball, feeling pain all over his body, yet he regretted his decision.

If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have sought to make progress. If I hadn’t been sent to the execution ground, how could all these troubles have happened?
But once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back...

I don’t know what will happen when I get to Qingzhou. The prison camp is not a place for human beings.

Even if you make it, it's still hard to make a living.

How to find a job with a face full of gold seals?
The more Xu Ning thought about it, the more miserable he felt. He felt that the future was bleak and dark.

It was thought that Xu Ning fell asleep in the second half of the night. However, at four o'clock in the morning, Xue Ba woke him up and urged him to set off.

Dong Chao took off a pair of new straw sandals from his waist, but the ears and the straps were made of hemp, and asked Xu Ning to wear them.

When Xu Ning saw that his feet were covered with blisters, he had to find some old straw sandals to wear.

Dong Chao had already used his old straw sandals to make fire, so where could he get them?
Xu Ning had no choice but to put on the new shoes.

Before he had walked more than three or two miles, the big blisters on Xu Ning's feet were broken by his new straw sandals.

He was covered in blood and couldn't even walk.

However, Dong Chao and Xue Ba were beating him with water and fire sticks from behind, so Xu Ning could only endure with bloody footprints at every step...
