A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television

The battle was over, and the two sides were in chaos.

(Zhao Yupan, who practices martial arts)

Everything was just as Lu Cheng expected. Song Jiang led thousands of troops to attack Zhujiazhuang, deliberately avoiding Hujiazhuang, and strictly ordered his men not to harm people from Hujiazhuang.

Because Hu Sanniang married Lu Cheng and did not marry Zhujiazhuang, Zhujiazhuang was very dissatisfied with Hujiazhuang, and the alliance between the two villages had already broken down.

Moreover, because Zhu Biao was rude and contemptuous of Li Ying, the owner of Lijiazhuang, the relationship between Lijiazhuang and Zhujiazhuang became weak.

In this way, only Zhujiazhuang was the enemy of Liangshan, and Hujia and Lijia were just watching from the sidelines.

Song Jiang led his troops to attack Zhujiazhuang twice, but both times they returned without success and suffered heavy casualties.

At this time, Sun Li, who was sick, brought his mother Gu Dasao and the two brothers Jie Zhen and Jie Bao to Liangshan. Seeing that Liangshan was attacking Zhujiazhuang, Sun Li took advantage of his friendship with Zhujiazhuang's coach Luan Tingyu to sneak into Zhujiazhuang, and then helped Liangshan successfully capture Zhujiazhuang with internal and external cooperation.

After occupying Zhujiazhuang, Liangshan's troops looted Zhujiazhuang and obtained more than 500,000 shi of grain, as well as countless gold and silver treasures, worth more than one million guan, far more than the treasures obtained by Chao Gai's clever capture of the birthday gift.

Moreover, Song Jiang led his troops down the mountain, made great contributions to Liangshan, and won over many younger brothers. Chao Gai, however, sat in the mountain stronghold, with only the initial few younger brothers around him.

When the two sides were compared, Chao Gai's contribution to Liangshan was compared. Song Jiang also had more say in Liangshanpo.

After that, Song Jiang was still not satisfied and wanted to bring the flying eagle Li Ying to Liangshan. Wu Yong gave Song Jiang a plan to frame Li Ying, kidnap all of Li Ying's family members to Liangshan, and burn Li Ying's manor by the way, cutting off Li Ying's retreat.

But Li Ying was not stupid. After being reminded by Lu Cheng in advance, he was always very careful. Knowing that someone had framed him for colluding with bandits, Li Ying did not refute it. He immediately sent all his family members to Hujiazhuang, escorted by the escorts stationed in Hujiazhuang, and went to Lujiazhuang for refuge?

At the same time, Li Ying took Lu Cheng's letter and went to Jeju Prefecture in person to explain the situation to the Jeju prefect.

The Jeju prefect learned that Li Ying was on good terms with the son-in-law, so he naturally would not suspect that he was colluding with bandits. He then sent people to investigate the situation and learned that it was the Liangshan bandits who deliberately framed him.

After proving his innocence, Li Ying immediately went to Lujiazhuang to thank Lu Cheng in person.

"My Lord, this time I am really grateful for your reminder. Otherwise, I would have been framed by the Liangshan bandits and had to go to Liangshan."

"Master Li, you don't have to be polite. After all, we are friends. But, I am afraid that Dulonggang will not be so safe in the future."

Li Ying also nodded: "The Liangshan looted the entire Zhujiazhuang, and all the men, women, old and young in Zhujiazhuang were beheaded. Even many innocent people died at the hands of the Black Whirlwind Li Kui and others, adding many wronged souls. I used to think that these Liangshan bandits might still have some sense of justice, but now it seems that they are just a group of extremely vicious people!"

Li Ying, who was almost plotted to go to the mountain, was also scared when he thought of all this and the tragic situation in Zhujiazhuang.

The Liangshan bandits do not engage in production, but rely on robbing and pillaging to survive. Whenever they capture a place, they will definitely plunder everything, and many innocent people will also be implicated.

This Dulonggang is at the foot of Liangshan Lake. If the Liangshan bandits want to rob, they can go there at any time.

In the past, there was Zhujiazhuang blocking the way, but now that Zhujiazhuang is gone, Li Ying is a little afraid to go back.

At this time, a servant came to report that a farmhand from Lijiazhuang had come. Lu Cheng nodded, and the servant quickly brought the farmhand from Lijiazhuang to the hall.

As soon as the manor servant of Lijiazhuang saw Li Ying, he knelt on the ground and cried: "Master, our Lijiazhuang is gone!"

Li Ying was stunned: "What? Say it again."

"Master, since you left, a group of thieves came to the manor and started burning and killing without explanation. Except for a few who escaped, most of the servants and maids in the mansion were chopped by the black whirlwind with an axe. I went out to fetch water and escaped. Before I returned to the manor, I saw a big fire in the manor. I asked Xiao Cui who escaped, and then I knew that our Lijiazhuang was gone..."

Li Ying was shocked when he heard this, and sat back in his chair, muttering: "The foundation of several generations of my Li family is gone just like that?"

Although Li Ying also transferred part of his property when he moved his family, and gave Lu Cheng a generous gift, those were only part of his family property.

A small part of Lijiazhuang's property is still on Dulonggang. Li Ying never thought that the people of Liangshanbo would do such a thing.

"Liangshan bandits are too bullying! I, Li Ying, will avenge this!"

"Master Li, the Liangshan bandits are now powerful. Even if you want to take revenge, you still have to plan for the long term."

Li Ying came back to his senses, his expression was a little lost, and he looked much older: "My husband, it was Li Ying who lost his temper."

"It doesn't matter. I can understand Master Li's mood."

In fact, it is normal for such a thing to happen. The Liangshan bandits failed to frame Li Ying and failed to invite Li Ying to the mountain, but the feud had already been made, so they would naturally not give up the plan to rob Lijiazhuang.

Although Lijiazhuang is not as powerful as Zhujiazhuang, the wealth accumulated by the Li family for generations should not be underestimated. Naturally, it is the object of Liangshan's covetousness.

"Sir, I'll go see my wife and children first."

"Master Li, please do as you please."

After seeing Li Ying off, Lu Cheng waved his hand, and a servant at the door of the living room immediately walked in: "Master."

"Go and call Lai Fu over."

"Yes."

After a while, Lai Fu walked in, and Lu Cheng casually asked: "What's the situation at Hujiazhuang now?"

"Master, Wu Song took two thousand soldiers and horses to train near Hujiazhuang yesterday to ensure that they can support Hujiazhuang at any time."

Although Lu Cheng had a good understanding of Song Jiang's character, he would not completely ignore Hujiazhuang, and had already made proper arrangements.

If the Liangshan people dared to attack Hujiazhuang, Lu Cheng would not mind going to Liangshanpo in person. After all, Hujiazhuang was also the hometown of Hu Sanniang and the grandmother's home of his son.

Fortunately, the Liangshan troops were quite sensible. Although they swept Zhujiazhuang and looted Lijiazhuang, they did not dare to touch Hujiazhuang at all and retreated.

After this incident, Li Ying, the Putian Diao, stayed in Yuncheng County with his family, and used the remaining assets of his family to purchase some fields and shops, preparing to start a business again.

As for the remaining people on Dulonggang, they basically all went to Hujiazhuang, which became the only surviving village on Dulonggang.

In order to ensure the continuation and development of the family, the Hu family split up after discussion. One part continued to stay in Dulonggang to develop, and the other part came to Yuncheng County, bought a piece of land next to Lujiazhuang, established a new Hujiazhuang, and became neighbors with Lu Cheng's Lujiazhuang.

Lu Cheng did not pay much attention to these, and lived his life at home with his wives.

It is worth mentioning that Jiafu Princess Zhao Yupan, who has been hanging out with three women, Hu Sanniang, Pang Qiuxia, and Ji Ruxue, has become interested in learning martial arts.

Zhao Yupan, who is fifteen or sixteen years old, is still in the development stage. Because of her good foundation and adequate nutrition since childhood, she has a good foundation for martial arts. After being strengthened by the body-strengthening pills, her physical fitness has been greatly improved, and she has the foundation for practicing body-strengthening methods.

Perhaps, in the future, this princess of the Song Dynasty can become a female general with superior martial arts...
