Song Jiang also looked at the three of them.
Waiting for them to explain.
Liu Tang frowned and said,
"That Chief Zhao has done us Qingfeng Mountain a favor,"
"Now that the soldiers of Liangshan have not moved, we must not make a move prematurely!"
"This teacher, Mr. Luan, is highly skilled in martial arts,"
Hua Rong explained,
"With just the few of us, I'm afraid we won't be able to take him down easily!"
"But if we waste time and the other Liangshan leaders realize what's happening,"
"We're afraid we'll end up losing more than we gain..."
Chapter 619 Each Returns to Their Mountains
"Brother Hua Rong is right,"
Wu Yong also said,
"Now we are at their mercy, like fish on a chopping board."
"The reason Liangshan is holding back is most likely because they are mindful of the friendship between their leader and Chao Gai,"
"If we make the first move now, wouldn't that just give them an excuse?"
"The scholar has a point,"
Song Jiang quickly nodded.
"Brother Hua Rong, keep your men in check and don't let them anger Liangshan."
.....
While Qingfeng Mountain was discussing countermeasures,
Luan Tingyu had already stepped forward and approached them.
"Chief Zhu, please come out and speak!"
Zhu Tong was stunned for a moment.
He thought Luan Tingyu was coming now.
They want to invite you to Liangshan.
He immediately said, somewhat embarrassed,
“Teacher Luan, I have a past relationship with Clerk Song and Chief Lei, and I am now planning to go to Qingfeng Mountain with them.”
"I can only appreciate Chief Zhao's kindness."
"Please, Teacher Luan, let us leave."
"Chief Zhu, you've misunderstood. That's not what I was talking about,"
Luan Tingyu smiled slightly.
"As for Captain Zhu's departure, that's naturally up to him to decide,"
"We Liangshan will never do anything that forces others to do something they cannot do."
"this....."
Zhu Tong glanced at Song Jiang and the others beside him.
He hesitated for a moment,
He still walked towards Luan Tingyu.
"I wonder what Teacher Luan wants to say to me?"
"Chief Zhu, actually..."
Luan Tingyu whispered a few words in Zhu Tong's ear.
"W-what did you say?"
After hearing this, Zhu Tong
He immediately exclaimed in surprise.
"Chief Zhu, whether you believe what I just said or not, is up to you."
Luan Tingyu smiled slightly.
"Since Chief Zhu has chosen Qingfeng Mountain today,"
"We from Liangshan naturally can't say much,"
"I hope Chief Zhu will take good care of himself in the future!"
After saying this,
Luan Tingyu then turned around and went back.
After a while,
The Liangshan soldiers then turned around.
They headed towards the lake, which was dozens of miles away.
Seeing Liangshan leave,
The people of Qingfeng Mountain finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that Zhu Tong was still standing there in a daze, Song Jiang...
He hurried forward.
"Chief Zhu, what's wrong? Did that Luan teacher from Liangshan say something to you?"
Zhu Tong, the bearded gentleman, turned around.
Looking at the concerned faces around him,
Song Jiang, who seemed to truly regard him as a close friend,
Then I remembered what Luan Tingyu had said earlier.
He and Lei Heng were in trouble this time.
It was all planned by Song Jiang.
I felt a moment of dizziness.
Zhu Tong was determined to convince himself.
Song Jiang was not that kind of person.
But thinking back to when Ma Erkou made that threat earlier...
Song Jiang's strange behavior...
"Chief Zhu, Chief Zhu?"
Song Jiang called out twice more.
The bearded man noticed something unusual.
This filled him with suspicion.
"nothing,"
Zhu Tong shook his head expressionlessly.
"Teacher Luan simply said that if we have nowhere to stay in the future, we can go to Liangshan again."
"These Liangshan people are truly relentless."
Kongming snorted.
"Chief Zhu has already agreed to come back to Qingfeng Mountain with us,"
"They still want to poach people's employees; they're really despicable."
"Kong Liang! If you don't want those pearly white teeth anymore, you can just say so!"
Liu Tang clenched his fist and waved it in front of Kong Liang's eyes.
The lone fire star immediately retreated a bit.
"Enough, Kongming, stop fooling around!"
Song Jiang angrily rebuked him,
After disciplining his apprentice,
He was just about to ask Zhu Tong another question when
But they found that the bearded man had already walked away to the side by himself.
Just as Song Jiang was about to go over,
Wu Yong quickly tugged at him.
"Brother Gongming, let's go back to Qingfeng Mountain first,"
"Jeju is ultimately Liangshan's territory, so it's best to leave as soon as possible."
"...Fine then,"
Song Jiang glanced at Zhu Tong, who was not far away.
He then ordered the henchmen of Qingfeng Mountain...
They immediately headed towards Qingfeng Mountain.
......
Liangshan Marsh, Hall of Gathering Righteousness
After Luan Tingyu returned with Bian Xiang, Ruan Xiaoqi, Lü Fang, and Li Yun,
He then immediately recounted his journey down the mountain.
He reported everything to Zhao Yuan.
"Chief, we did not bring Zhu Tong up the mountain,"
Luan Tingyu bowed and begged for forgiveness.
The others followed behind him.
They all bowed down and said,
"Please punish me, brother!"
"Alright, this isn't your fault,"
Zhao Yuan hurriedly stepped forward,
They helped everyone up.
As the saying goes, a forced relationship is never sweet.
"Since that bearded man can't resist old feelings and insists on going to Qingfeng Mountain, then let him be."
"Teacher Luan, you did a good job by not acting impulsively and rashly attacking Qingfeng Mountain this time..."
Chapter 620 Imperial Crackdown
"Teacher Luan should not feel pressured,"
Xu Guanzhong laughed,
"We have many leaders on Liangshan Mountain. One more Zhu Tong won't make a difference, and one less Magnificent Beard won't make a difference either."
"Initially, we let you down the mountain because he had an accident in Yuncheng and we couldn't just ignore it."
