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

Chapter 883 Liu Gao: Isn't this a coincidence? [2 more]

"Catch the Nanman——Where are you going——"

After entering the city, Song Jiang and Wu Yong fled in panic.

But they didn't know the way, so they were like headless flies, running around aimlessly, unable to shake off the pursuers...

When they fled to a small alley, the door suddenly opened and a big man with a yellow face pulled them in.

"Where did you run to?"

"These two southern barbarians escaped so quickly!"

"Look over there!"

The pursuers walked away outside the wall cursing.

Song Jiang and Wu Yong breathed a sigh of relief and quickly bowed to the yellow-faced man:

"Thank you for saving my life!"

The yellow-faced man helped them up and asked:
"No, no, I wonder what your names are, gentlemen?"

Song Jiang likes this part the most!

Song Jiang dusted himself off and pulled himself together:
"This one is the 'wise man' Wu Yong!
"Xiao Ke, the 'timely rain' Song Jiang from Shandong!"

Then Song Jiang waited for the yellow-faced man to bow down.

Unexpectedly, the yellow-faced man grabbed him excitedly and asked:
"Brother, since you are from Shandong, have you ever heard of Shandong's Little Xuande Liu Neng Liu Haizhu?"

"what?"

Song Jiang was confused.

He has always enjoyed the treatment of others bowing down to him after he revealed his identity.

Unexpectedly, the yellow-faced man was indifferent to his identity, but instead asked him about Xiao Xuande!

Is Xiao Xuande more famous than me now?
Song Jiang was very unconvinced, but after all he still had to rely on the yellow-faced man to save his life, so he had to perfunctorily say:
"heard about it……"

The yellow-faced man asked excitedly:

"I heard that little Xuande was granted the title of Duke of Cangzhou by the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, right?"

Song Jiang felt even more bitter: "Yeah..."

The yellow-faced man was delighted and asked again:

"Does Xiao Xuande have a 'hard-working man' named Shi Xiu under his command?"

Huh?
Song Jiang and Wu Yong looked at each other, and Wu Yong said:
“Yes, Shi Xiu is a general under Xiao Xuande.

"How did brother know Shi Xiu?"

That's it!

The yellow-faced man felt relieved:

"To be honest with you two, my brother is known in Jianghu as 'Sick Guan Suo' Yang Xiong.

“Shi Xiu is my sworn brother.

"After the fall of Jizhou City, my brother and my wife hid here. We wanted to escape from the city but didn't know where to go.

"Thank you both for telling me where my brother is. I will take my wife to join my brother tomorrow if I have a chance.

"By the way, what are you two doing in Jizhou?"

Song Jiang and Wu Yong looked at each other and hesitated for a long time. Wu Yong finally said:
"To be honest, brother, the two of us were actually sent by Little Xuande to contact the Second Crown Prince of the Jin Kingdom, Lahan.

"Blah blah blah... That's how it is. Brother, please give us a hand!"

"Ah this..."

Yang Xiong wanted to slap himself in the face:

I told you to stop talking. You could have left directly tomorrow...

But now that things had come to this, Yang Xiong had no choice but to agree to help:

"You stay here for one night and wait. I'll go out and ask around tomorrow..."

Song Jiang and Wu Yong breathed a sigh of relief. With the help of Yang Xiong, a local, things became much easier.

The next day.

Yang Xiong went out for a walk and came back, and told Song Jiang and Wu Yong nervously:
“Oh no!

"The 'Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King' Chao Gai, who you have been following all the way here, has been hanged at a crossroads!

"I think he's seriously injured. If we don't rescue him soon, he'll be in great danger!"

"what?"

Song Jiang and Wu Yong were shocked. They looked at each other and Song Jiang asked:

"Are there any Jin soldiers guarding the area?"

Yang Xiong nodded: "There are only a few Jin soldiers on the surface, but I saw ambushes around..."

"No!" Song Jiang gritted his teeth and stamped his feet:

"Chao Gai is my beloved relative, friend, brother, and I must save him!"

"Brother, wait a minute!"

Wu Yong quickly grabbed Song Jiang and said:

"The Jin soldiers are fishing!

"We went to rescue him and fell into a trap!"

Song Jiang was anxious: "Are you going to watch someone die without helping?"

Wu Yong frowned and pulled out his goose feather fan:

"We have to save them, but we still have to make long-term plans..."

Then Song Jiang and Wu Yong discussed a solution.

A day passed, and Yang Xiong almost fell asleep...

……

Crossroads.

Chao Gai was hung high on the flagpole, dying and almost frozen through by the severe cold.

"Brother Song Jiang, Brother Wu Yong..."

Chao Gai murmured weakly:
"You better not come, they have set an ambush..."

Although he said this, deep down, Chao Gai still hoped that Song Jiang and Wu Yong could come to rescue him.

It’s not just because Chao Gai doesn’t want to die.

Or maybe Chao Gai didn't want his brother, who he had followed for so long, to prove that he was blind through his actions...

However, a day passed and Song Jiang did not come...

……

At the same time, envoys from the Jin Kingdom also came to Liu Gao.

"The Marshal Jinyan Daomo, under the command of the Second Crown Prince Lahan of the Jin Kingdom, pays homage to His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan!"

The Jin envoy was a strong man with a big beard. When he saw Liu Gao, he bowed and presented a secret letter:
"This is a letter from my Second Prince to His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan. Please have a look at it!"

Yan Qing took the secret letter and checked it to make sure there was no problem before presenting it to Liu Gao.

Liu Gao had already made an estimate before reading the letter. As expected, Lahan wanted to form an alliance with him.

Lahan hoped that he could help him kill Wuzhu.

In return, he would give Jizhou, which was taken from the Liao Kingdom, to himself.

Isn’t this a coincidence? Isn’t this a coincidence?
Liu Gao smiled:

He sent Song Jiang to form an alliance with Lahan, but Lahan also sent people to form an alliance with him!

By the way, Song Jiang should have arrived in Jizhou by now, right?

After handing the letter to Xu Guanzhong and Zhu Wu, the military advisors, Liu Gao asked Jinyan Daomo:

"What plans does Lahan have?"

The Golden-Eyed Demon looked around and saw a lot of people, including Lu Zhishen, Lu Junyi, Wu Song, Yue Fei and others from the Grand Council.

The Golden Eyed Demon looked at Liu Gao again and said, "Your Highness, Prince of Yan, can I have a word with you for a moment?"

"cannot!"

Liu Gao said tactfully:

“There are no outsiders here!
"If you want to tell me, tell me. If not, take the letter and get out of here!"

The Golden Eyed Demon had no choice but to say:
"The Second Prince will invite the Fourth Prince to come to Jizhou for a hunting party.

“The hunting ground is close to the border between Jizhou and Cangzhou, Your Highness the Prince of Yan can send people to ambush in advance.

“When there is a suitable opportunity, His Royal Highness Prince Yan will set up an ambush, and His Royal Highness the Second Prince will also hold back His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince’s men.

"If both sides cooperate, we will definitely teach His Majesty the Fourth Prince a lesson!"

Liu Gao's mouth curled up into a teasing smile: "But how can you teach me to trust Lahan?"

The Golden Eyed Demon bowed and said:
"His Highness the Fourth Prince now controls the military affairs of the Jin Kingdom, and attacking the Song Dynasty is his top priority.

“If Your Highness Prince Yan does not want the Jin troops to march south, the best opportunity is to cooperate with Your Highness the Second Prince this time.

“My Second Prince loves peace.

"If he inherits the position of Wolf Lord, he will definitely be able to live in harmony with Song."

Liu Gao said impatiently: "So, how can I trust him?"

The Golden Eyed Demon had no choice but to take out a gold medal:
"This is something that the Second Prince carried with him, take this as evidence!
"If Your Highness Prince Yan doesn't believe it, you can go to our Wolf Lord and report the Second Prince with this gold medal and the Second Prince's handwriting!"
