Jiao Ting immediately lost his patience.
"What does it look like! Tell me!"
Startled by him,
That rogue then blurted out,
"That man looks like the former clerk Song!"
"Song the Clerk? Are you talking about Song Jiang, the Timely Rain?"
Zhao Yuan frowned.
"Yes, it's him,"
The rogue smiled ingratiatingly.
"I used to know Clerk Song quite well, and we met often,"
"So in the morning, although the man covered his face with a cloth,"
"But to me, that look is indeed very familiar."
"It's simply because Clerk Song is now a criminal under the government's control,"
"I think he probably wouldn't dare to return to Yuncheng,"
That's why we can't be sure.
"Alright, take them away."
Zhao Yuan waved his hand.
After the guards took the hooligans away...
Jiao Ting finally couldn't help but speak up.
"Brother, isn't Song Jiang up on the mountain?"
"Why have you come to Yuncheng again?"
"Judging from the trouble this scoundrel is causing in Yuncheng, he's most likely after Huyan Zhuo and Zhang Qing,"
Zhao Yuan chuckled.
"He probably wants to repeat the mistakes of Zhu Tong and Lei Heng,"
"We want to force Huyan Zhuo and Zhang Qing to become outlaws and follow him to Qingfeng Mountain."
"Pah! This black bastard is really dreaming,"
He said angrily, "I have no face."
"We're fighting to the death against the imperial court at the front,"
"That black bastard is thinking of reaping the benefits from behind!"
"If we had known, we should have killed that black bastard when he came up the mountain."
"No matter what, Song Jiang was sent by Chao Gai to help Liangshan,"
Zhao Yuan chuckled.
"Even out of respect for that King Chao, we shouldn't take his life so easily."
"Not to mention that this black-clad fellow has also amassed a great reputation in the martial arts world."
"Brother, now that things have come to this, what should we do?"
Jiao Ting scratched his head and said,
"We can't really let that scoundrel Song Jiang take Huyan Zhuo and Zhang Qing back to Qingfeng Mountain, can we?"
"That won't do!"
Zhao Yuan sneered.
"Huyan Zhuo and Zhang Qing were defeated generals of Liangshan,"
"How to deal with them is a matter for Liangshan,"
"It's not Song Jiang's place to interfere."
"so,"
Zhao Yuan thought for a moment,
"Send someone back to the mountain and tell the three strategists about the situation here in detail."
"Song Jiang pulled this stunt,"
“Once the news gets out, the families of Huyan Zhuo and Zhang Qing will likely suffer.”
"Have your three strategists send men to fetch their families and transport them to..."
"Liangshan?"
Jiao Ting asked.
"No,"
Zhao Yuan shook his head.
"Send it to Dongping Prefecture."
“Sending them to Liangshan would inevitably raise suspicions of being a threat,”
"Send them to Dongping Prefecture. What happens next is up to those two to decide."
Regarding Huyan Zhuo and Zhang Qing,
Zhao Yuan naturally hoped that these two would join Liangshan.
The former was a veteran general from the north.
His ironclad chain cavalry,
They are also top-tier elites.
The latter, Zhang Qing,
Her skill with throwing stones far surpasses that of Qiong Ying.
He was also a rare and valuable general.
If Liangshan could recruit these two men,
Regarding one's own strength,
It is obvious that there will be a significant improvement.
But regarding the two who were persuaded to surrender...
Zhao Yuan, however, disdained to use schemes like Song Jiang.
Act like timely rain.
Even if the two of them went to Liangshan,
I fear he still harbors feelings for the Song court.
Full of resentment,
"As for us, we won't go back to the mountain for now."
"not going back?"
Jiao Ting asked in surprise,
"Brother, a victory celebration banquet has already been prepared on the mountain."
"We haven't yet captured Huyan Zhuo and Zhang Qing; the former is a key general in the government army,"
Zhao Yuan laughed.
"We can celebrate after we take them down."
"But haven't those two disappeared without a trace?"
Jiao Ting asked in confusion,
Where should we look for them?
"Isn't it because that scoundrel Song Jiang is showing us the way?"
Zhao Yuan analyzed,
"The reason why that timely rain appeared in Yuncheng,"
"It must be Huyan Zhuo and Zhang Qing; they were here last night."
"Now that scoundrel has left,"
"Or they brought Huyan Zhuo and Zhang Qing with them,"
"Or just trailing behind them..."
Chapter 801 Horns
Zhao Yuan ordered Jiao Ting to send someone back to Liangshan.
The news was communicated to Huyan Zhuo and Zhang Qing.
Also, send someone to handle things in Yuncheng.
The people of Yuncheng besieged the county government office.
Since Zhao Yuan has already intervened,
Naturally, we can't just abandon this place.
Fortunately, the marshland is not far from Liangshan.
At noon,
Xu Guanzhong received the message.
He then hurriedly arrived in Yuncheng.
"The chieftain is going to Qingzhou,"
Xu Guanzhong asked as soon as they met.
"Um,"
Zhao Yuan did not hide anything.
He simply nodded.
"Both Huyan Zhuo and Zhang Qing are exceptionally brave generals,"
"Rather than let them be tricked by that scoundrel Song Jiang into going to Qingfeng Mountain,"
"It would be better to come with us to Liangshan."
"Zhang Qing, the one without feathered arrows, is easier to deal with,"
Xu Guanzhong pondered for a moment and said,
"But that Huyan Zhuo comes from the Huyan family,"
“Generals from military families like this probably won’t join Liangshan so easily.”
"No matter how difficult it is, you should always try."
Zhao Yuan said helplessly,
"That scoundrel Song Jiang made such a mess of things,"
"Those two did not become outlaws but joined the bandits,"
"There was absolutely no chance of survival."
"Right,"
Xu Guanzhong saw that he could not persuade him,
