Chapter 359: A glimmer of hope, a half ray of light
Ning Liheng.
Chai Zhi walked rustling on the ground and wrote these three words. Zhu Wu sat on the steps in front of the altar, watching the afternoon sunlight slanting in and the dust dancing in the air.
"Ning Liheng...Ning Liheng...has anyone heard of this name before..."
What came out of his mouth was not a question, but after a moment, someone still answered: "I haven't heard of it, but the important thing is what should happen now."
The speaker was Zhang Shun who had just walked in from the door. At this time, in addition to Zhu Wu, Zhang Shun, Yan Qing, Lu Fang, Sun Xin and other leaders near the ruined temple in the mountains, there were also dozens of injured people.
The Liangshan minions, whether light or heavy, are here.
For Ning Yi, these "nameless" people may not receive much human rights treatment, but as the most elite bandits in Liangshan, they did play a great role in the fighting and escape along the way.
The role of these people. The reason why these people were selected by Liangshan
Later, they were all people with experience in the martial arts world. They had laid up suspicions along the way to cover up their traces. Only then could they really deal with the wounds and be able to breathe a little. However, under this blow, the entire ruined temple and the ruined temple were completely destroyed.
Everyone in the woods near the temple also looked depressed.
When Zhu Wu and Zhang Shun were talking, Yan Qing, who was wrapped in bandages and whose eyes were bloodshot, had also come in from the door. Zhu Wu could only be heard saying: "Have a rest and everyone will leave. In addition, there are
What can be done?”
"Leave? How can we leave after things happened like this! Brothers... I don't know how many of the brothers have been arrested. Where can we go now!"
The person who said this was Lu Fang, the "Little Wen Marquis" who was slightly injured. He was holding Fang Tian's painted halberd. He propped himself on the ground and stood up. Zhu Wu glanced at him: "What else can we do if we don't leave?"
"Not to mention those who are already gone, we can't just ignore the brothers who have fallen into the hands of that thief!"
"But we can't have so many people staying here..."
"I saw Brother Shi Yongshi being surrounded by more than ten people in the chaos. I'm afraid he has already gone..." Sun Xin interjected with some frustration.
"Yuanwai was just arrested. If I don't leave, I have to go back." Yan Qing said standing by the door. He is quite popular in Liangshan. What's more, although Liangshan has not strictly arranged seats at this time, Lu Junyi's second place is
It was a sure thing, Zhang Shun looked at him: "Let's go? How to go? This time more than 200 of us gathered together, are there only 40 or so left to go back? Are we going to let Brother Lu and the others be arrested? Let's go back to the mountain, and others
What should I say... people must be rescued..."
"This is not Daming Mansion. It is too far away from Liangshan. That person takes care of everything we do..."
"Brother Ruan and the others are nearby, right? How far away?"
"No, are you going to call me again and throw yourself into a trap? They will arrive at Kaifeng Mansion in just three to five days..."
"What can we do, Brother Zhu?"
"...I can't leave, so I can only stay and wait for an opportunity to save people...but the injured brothers still have to go back first, no matter what the mountain decides..." Zhu Wu struggled for a long time. Finally he expressed his position, "We
There are fewer people, so we can move together. But Ning Liheng...Brother Yan, have you learned anything during the past few days on the fleet?"
"You have also seen the most talented man in Jiangning. He is in his twenties. I have only met him once and don't know anything about him. If you hadn't mentioned it later, I would have no idea about his feud with Brother Xi..."
Yan Qing looked gloomy and finished speaking in a stiff tone,
He took a breath and added, "But Brother Zhu is right, their morale is high now, we all stay here, we will just ride in. I won't leave, but I think... everyone should leave first, then
Ning Liheng is not simple. Let’s not let him take over everything.”
After he said this, he turned around and was about to go out. Lu Fang said over there: "Are you kidding me? It's not that simple. I've only been tricked once. Victory or defeat is a common occurrence for military strategists. That guy is only in his early twenties. We're really scared."
He can't do it! I, Lu Fang, will not leave, so I will chop him into pieces when I find the opportunity."
Zhang Shundao: "They came up along the waterway. If they want to be dragged away, I will find a way to cut off their boat."
"Think twice. If you go now, you will be ambushed." Zhu Wu frowned and lowered his head in thought.
Zhang Shun looked at him and said: "Brother Zhu, among us, you are the best at scheming. I am not good at it. I only know some reckless methods. This time we were only temporarily frustrated. If you have an idea, we will be brothers."
I always believe in you the most.”
After he said this, the others also nodded. This time everyone's setback seemed to be just a problem in one link. When it comes to making plans, the one who can be trusted is Zhu Wu after all. Zhu Wu lowered his head and thought for a moment,
Finally he nodded:
"I know. I looked back and thought about it. Ning Liheng seemed to be powerful, but in fact he was just doing more to prepare for a rainy day. After Brother Yan arrived on the ship, Ning Liheng suddenly suddenly stopped after his name was announced.
The attack showed that he had only doubted Brother Yan before.
It's not an exhaustive plan. Otherwise, he would take action without saying anything, and Brother Yan wouldn't be able to avoid it... Maybe I'm overthinking it. Anyway, let's first determine how the brothers will return to Liangshan later.
Then... we turn back and see if we can wait for an opportunity to save people."
As he spoke, he stood up. At this time, the skylight shone through the gaps between the trees and entered the temple door. Yan Qing came over, patted his shoulder and said, "Thank you." He also nodded. The rest of the people began to do it.
They were getting ready, wiping their weapons, tightening bandages, or starting to close their eyes and rest. To them, just one night without sleep was not a big deal, but the continuous fighting in the middle of the night and the subsequent escape were still disturbing.
Everyone is very tired.
Here, in addition to imagining the possibility of rescuing people, Zhu Wu also began to write letters to be sent to Liangshan or to some brothers on the way.
This time, it may not be said that there is no turning point, but it cannot be easily settled. For him, it is a complete failure. Of course, if he can find a glimmer of hope in such a desperate situation, he still has the chance to pull it off.
The hope of returning to Yicheng.
On top of Liangshan, he was not the Zhaoan sect. Everything this time can be said to have emerged from this.
Ever since Leader Song came to the mountain, Liangshan's consistent trend has been to recruit peace. This is Leader Song's wish, and most people also know that if they can recruit peace, it is of course a good thing. After all, they will be a mountain for the rest of their lives.
There is no future for thieves. For a long time, this seemed to be the only way out. People who were not part of the Zhao'an faction were vague about the future, and there was actually no resonance between them. Since Fang La captured Hangzhou, these things
Only then did something change.
For Zhu Wu and others who are accustomed to living in the green forest, joining the imperial court is not really an exciting thing. It can only be said to be the only choice when there is no choice. However, under the general trend of drastic changes in the situation between the north and the south,
Everyone finally sees a glimmer of hope. Now
The Wu Dynasty wanted to suppress Fangla in the south, and faced successive defeats in the Liao Dynasty in the north. It simply couldn't care about Liangshanbo, and Tian Hu and Wang Qing were all the beneficiaries. In this case, if they could really rise up and call the princes and generals Xiangning
There is such a slogan, but it does not mean that there is no hope.
Most of the more than 40,000 people above Liangshan are still without foresight. For them, since they have become bandits, the first thing they think about is their future as bandits. The leader of the Song Dynasty wants to recruit people, but this kind of thinking cannot be done in the future.
It was stated openly. When the idea of rebellion began to become obvious, the entire Liangshan could not sit still. This time everyone was sent down the mountain to really raise the banner of Liangshan.
The troops were divided into several groups, including robbing prisons in Jiangning and other places, rescuing all those captured under Fang La's command, and contacting Fang La's branch, which had become fragmented again after the city was broken in Hangzhou. In the final analysis, they wanted to take over Fang La's men after his defeat.
The defeated troops even told other green forest people that Liangshan had a better future. After all, they were defeated and we saved the people. But on Zhu Wu's journey, the final choice to make himself famous was to rob the birthday card.
For a long time, Song Jiang, Wu Yong and others were unwilling to break up with the royal family, even if they sent everyone out this time. They also had the idea in their hearts that "after Liangshan becomes stronger, they can still increase their recruitment chips." Zhu Wu directly robbed him.
As for the birthday plan, as long as they leave a reputation after success, everyone in the Zhao'an faction can only eat Coptis chinensis and admit it with a smile. It can be said to be a clever plan to drain the firepower. Unfortunately, it fell short in the end.
But no matter what, although Zhu Wu has been saying before that this is not Daming Mansion. But Lu Junyi was arrested, and there may still be people on Liangshan. And if he can find a way to settle things before the arrival of the large army, he will eventually be able to find it.
A way out, after all, being able to kill oneself out of thousands of people is already pretty good.
This matter must be difficult, but until now, he can only walk.
As for Ning Liheng, after all, this was the only time they had to fight, and he still had the confidence to level the situation.
After thinking about the whole thing in his mind. After writing the letter, Yan Qing and others were ready to go back to the pier to investigate the situation. Zhu Wu arranged for everyone near the small temple to quickly evacuate to the new location.
Then he followed Yan Qing and Zhang Shun back together. The three of them were all good players, but if they just went to explore the situation, the possibility of being surrounded was not high after all.
At the same moment, in the near dusk light, Ning Yi and Wen Renbuer were walking on the side of the ship: "Has the news been released?"
Wenren Buer nodded and looked at the scene on the dock: "Let them all go. Now everyone around here, even a tea egg seller, knows about the arrest of a group of bandits in Liangshan, and they will be there tomorrow."
His legs were broken and he was hung from the mast to die in the sun."
Ning Yi looked at a stall selling tea eggs from a distance: "Will it arouse any resistance if it is so cruel?"
Wenren Buer laughed: "How is it possible? Everyone is very happy and excited. By tomorrow morning, there will probably be many people from all over the country coming to watch the fun... But, Li Heng, are you sure this will be useful?"
"I don't know either." Ning Yi was still looking at the scene outside the pier, looking farther away, "But theoretically speaking, because they made a mistake and were arrested as the second in command, they can't go back.
We can only stay here and follow until the second in command is rescued or confirmed to be dead, so..."
He paused slightly, then looked at Wenren Fuji, and smiled as if he was a little unsure: "So, no matter which bandit den you are in... I think it should look like this, right?"
