"They even shot the chieftain with a stray arrow,"
"They're naturally worried about retaliation from us!"
"That's why they pulled this stunt,"
"Song Jiang wanted Liangshan to intervene,"
"Good, we'll get our revenge!"
"Did Liangshan really take the bait so easily?"
Wang Qing sneered.
"Surely Zhao Dalang isn't that stupid?"
"If Liangshan were to make peace with Huaixi and Erlongshan now,"
Li Zhu shook his head.
"It has gained great prestige among the common people,"
"The Liangshan sect has always valued the common people,"
"so......".

"Does the strategist think we should agree to peace talks?"
Wang Qing inquired.
"That's right,"
Mr. Jin Jian nodded.
"This time, Liangshan saved their chieftain,"
"We owe Liangshan a huge favor."
"If we keep this favor,"
"Who knows what other demands Liangshan might make in the future?"
"Why not take advantage of this opportunity?"
"We immediately agreed to Liangshan's offer."
"That settles this favor."
"Furthermore, it's about making peace,"
"They must offer us satisfactory terms from Erlong Mountain,"
"Why don't we take advantage of this opportunity?"
"I want more gold, silver, and money,"
"It can also make up for the losses from these last few times."
"Um,"
Wang Qing nodded.
"That works too."
"If we continue like this, we won't owe Liangshan any favors,"
"It can also make up for the losses from these few incidents."
...
Since that day,
After Wang Qing and Li Zhu discussed it,
On Zhao Yuan's side,
I also took the opportunity to meet Wang Qing once.
After the two sides met,
Regarding the life-saving grace received by Liangshan this time,
Wang Qing immediately expressed his gratitude.
"If it weren't for the chieftain,"
Wang Qing said while lying in bed.
"I'm afraid I'm going to die this time."
"Clearly, last time, it was Huaixi who made the mistake first,"
"This time, we are very grateful to Chief Zhao for disregarding past grievances..."
"alright,"
Zhao Yuan interrupted,
"Let's not talk about the past anymore."
"I think Mr. Li must have already spoken to Chief Wang,"
"The reason I saved Chief Wang,"
"It's all for the sake of the great cause of rebellion in the future."
"Although the Song Dynasty looks dilapidated now and the people are suffering, it is still in dire straits."
"But those officials who are loyal to the court,"
"But there are still many."
"Even if we all raise the flag of rebellion now,"
"At that time, I'm afraid we'll have to face the imperial army's conquest."
"So everyone's relationship is better now,"
"We can always help each other out in the future."
"What Chief Zhao means is,"
Wang Qing said meaningfully,
"Shall we form an alliance?"
"It can't be considered an alliance,"
Zhao Yuan shook his head and said,
"It's just that we're fighting a common enemy together."
"Really,"
Wang Qing's face remained calm.
He inwardly scoffed.
He understood, of course.
Liangshan was unwilling to form an alliance with him.
To put it bluntly, they simply look down on Huaixi's strength.
The things I said before,
They were merely hoping that Huaixi could help Liangshan share some of the attention from the Song Dynasty.
After exchanging a few polite words,
Zhao Yuan then revealed the matter that Liangshan was planning to discuss with Huaixi and Erlongshan.
With Li Zhu's prior communication,
Wang Qing readily agreed.
Seeing that there were no objections from the Huaixi side
Zhao Yuan didn't say anything more.
After chatting for a couple more minutes,
He then took his leave.
......
Three days later,
But it was the strategist Wu Yong who brought the gold and silver.
First, we arrived at Liangshan.
"Chief Zhao is willing to help us negotiate peace with Huaixi,"
Wu Yong bowed and thanked him.
"Regarding this matter, everyone on Erlong Mountain..."
"Of course, I am extremely grateful..."
"You don't need to thank me,"
Zhao Yuan said with a cold face,
"When you get back, tell that Song Jiang..."
Chapter 1387 Duan San Niang
"Those who commit many unrighteous acts will surely perish."
Zhao Yuan said coldly,
"If this continues..."
"Your clerk Song,"
"I'll ruin myself sooner or later!"
"......yes,"
Wu Yong dared not refute.
He could only nod obediently.
"Alright, although we from Liangshan can mediate this matter,"
Zhao Yuan continued,
"But how to negotiate is something you'll have to discuss with the Huai Xi people yourselves."
"In two more days, there will be Lady Duan Sanniang, wife of King Qingde of Huaixi,"
"We'll be there soon."
"Then, you two will face each other and talk to each other."
"In any case, we must thank Liangshan for their help this time,"
Wu Yong cupped his hands and said,
"This is a small token of our gratitude from Erlong Mountain,"
"Please accept this, Chief Zhao."
Zhao Yuan took the gift list and looked at it.
Almost all of them,
It's already worth twenty or thirty thousand strings of cash.
As for this money that was given away for free
Zhao Yuan naturally wouldn't refuse.
