Everyone looked at Wu Yong in confusion, not understanding what Wu Yong was blaming himself for.
Sun Lei glanced at Wu Yong and shook his head helplessly. In fact, Wu Yong could not be blamed for all this. It was Chao Gai who recruited Song Jiang to Erlong Mountain. With Chao Gai's character, even Wu Yong would have no use stopping him.
After Song Jiang went up the mountain, Wu Yong's dissuasion would not have any effect. The root of everything could only be blamed on Chao Gai's character. How could a person with no scheming stand up to a scheming master?
"Brother, those dog officers are following!"
Wang Dingliu ran over and said to Sun Lei, it was already dawn, and the officers and soldiers were now chasing after him on the shore.
"This place is very close to Tokyo. There are troops stationed everywhere. If we encircle you, it will be troublesome!"
Lin Chong quickly said that more than half of the Song Dynasty's army was near Tokyo. Now that their whereabouts have been revealed, a large army will soon receive the news.
"Continue to go north, directly pass Huazhou, and go to the Yellow River!"
Sun Lei thought for a while and pointed to the north and said, the Yellow River is wide and winding. Before the arrival of the army, if you enter the Yellow River and find a small river, you can hide your body.
The officers and soldiers chased there for a long time, but finally couldn't catch up. Their legs couldn't catch up with the ship that was riding on the wind.
"Master Supervisor, the thieves are heading to Huazhou!"
Mu Hong pointed to the place where Sun Lei's ship disappeared and shouted, that was Huazhou where their garrison was located.
"Dai Zong, go to Huazhou quickly to inform Song Jiang and ask him to lead troops to stop Sun Lei!"
The supervisor looked at Dai Zong and ordered.
"yes!"
Dai Zong took the order and ran to Huazhou with the help of God and the Dharma.
"Brother, Chao Gai..."
Lin Chong looked at Chao Gai's body on the deck. Lu Zhishen was chanting sutras for salvation, while Liu Tang, Wu Yong, Xiao Rang, and Jin Dajian were kneeling beside him.
Lin Chong's meaning was obvious. Chao Gai was dead, and they were now exposed. They couldn't escape with Chao Gai's body, so they had to find a way to arrange it.
"Let's talk about it after we enter the Yellow River!"
Sun Lei shook his head and said.
In Huazhou, Song Jiang had already gathered a large number of fishing boats to block the entire Bian River leading to the Yellow River.
"Brother, will Sun Lei really come here?"
Guan Sheng frowned and looked at Song Jiang and asked. He didn't have much hatred for Sun Lei, but was rather grateful.
After all, he was ordered to annihilate Liangshan, and Sun Lei defeated him in an upright manner. There was no enmity to speak of, it could only be said that his skills were inferior to others.
What's more, Sun Lei also saved his family members from the pain of exile, which can be regarded as accepting Sun Lei's favor.
"Dai Zong reported in person that King Chao Tian was kidnapped by Sun Lei. Now I don't know whether he is alive or dead. I must stop Sun Lei again and rescue King Chao Tian!"
Song Jiang said through gritted teeth.
Guan Sheng and Hu Yanzhuo looked at each other and remained silent. Song Jiang's words could deceive ordinary people, but neither of them were fools. How could Sun Lei kidnap Chao Gai? Chao Gai obviously ran away by himself. Just go and seek refuge with Sun Lei for protection.
However, when they heard Sun Lei's name, Guan Sheng and Hu Yanzhuo felt a little uneasy. They had once led an army of tens of thousands to be defeated by Sun Lei, but now they had thousands of people around them. How could they stop Sun Lei.
"Don't worry, Sun Lei only has a few dozen people around him this time!"
Dai Zong smiled and said, this time they had an absolute advantage. If Sun Lei hadn't been outnumbered, he would never have had the chance to come back to report the news.
"Ha ha!"
Song Jianghaha grew up, and Sun Lei only brought a few people with him to seek death.
"Brother Song Jiang, there are countless tributaries in the Bianhe River. If they only have one boat, they can divert from the small ditch to other tributaries. He has already appeared, and it is impossible to follow the main river again!"
Hu Yanzhuo looked at Song Jiang and said.
"ah?"
Song Jiang, who was still laughing just now, suddenly stopped laughing, and a bad feeling arose in his heart.
"Quickly, draw out two thousand people and search along the Yellow River!"
Song Jiang immediately shouted at the army, and two thousand troops were quickly dispatched.
"Brother, little brother, go take a look!"
Dai Zong said to Song Jiang.
"Well, report it immediately if there is any situation!"
Song Jiang nodded and said, Dai Zonghui's magical skills come and go like the wind, and are only suitable for exploration.
Seeing Dai Zong and the army disperse, Song Jiang's face turned pale. If he couldn't take down Sun Lei this time, he might not be able to do anything to Sun Lei in this life.
"Sun Lei made a big fuss in Tokyo, and now there are only a dozen people around him. We can't let Sun Lei leave this time!"
Song Jiang looked at Guan Sheng and Hu Yanzhuo and said that he had no clue now and could only rely on these two people. Both of them were generals who had led troops for many years and should have some abilities.
"Sun Lei must be thinking about entering the Yellow River. As long as he enters the Yellow River, he can go back to Liangshanbo. There are many direct rivers that Chenqiaoyi can walk to here, but the fastest one is the irrigation canal ten miles away from here! But that canal A little narrow.”
Hu Yanzhuo pointed to the east and said, although the canal is close, it is winding and not a good road.
"Yeah! Come on, let's go take a look!"
Song Jiang's eyes lit up. He had no clue now. Since Hu Yanzhuo said it was possible there, he might as well go and have a look. He could also check other rivers along the way. Anyway, this main river was probably impossible.
As the sky grew dark, Song Jiang led the people along the road to search the ditch.
The boat of Sun Lei and others was moving forward in the dark canal at this time. There was no light in the dark night, and the boat was moving very slowly, without any life.
"well!"
Lu Zhishen sighed and stood up, saying that he had already helped Chao Gai to achieve salvation, and he had recited the Diamond Sutra ninety-nine times, so he was worthy of Chao Gai, a man who valued righteousness.
"Master Lu, he is already gone, so what's the use of chanting sutras? He won't be able to survive either."
Sun Lei looked at Lu Zhishen and said.
"People always have something to think about, and the Sa family is just doing their best."
Lu Zhishen was not a pedantic monk. He knew that after death, the lamp would be extinguished and chanting sutras for salvation would be meaningless, but it could give people peace of mind.
"Brother, there's something going on!"
Hua Rong whispered.
Sun Lei and others immediately became alert and looked in the direction Hua Rong was pointing. A large number of soldiers holding torches were slowly coming over there.
"Looks like we bumped into each other after all!"
Sun Lei shook his head helplessly. If he wanted to enter the Yellow River from the Bian River, he had to cross Huazhou. He knew that with Dai Zong around, Song Jiang would definitely ambush on the river, so he looked for an inconspicuous canal, and finally encountered it.
"Brother, there are not many people, just kill them!"
Li Zhu squinted his eyes and saw that there were only more than 300 people. This number of people was nothing in front of them.
"Go first! This may just be the enemy's vanguard."
Sun Lei shook his head. There were few people on their side, so it was best not to fight. There were many defenders in Huazhou. If they were surrounded, it would be difficult to break through.
The ship moved forward quietly, but Song Jiang didn't notice it, but Hu Yanzhuo's sharp eyes immediately noticed something was wrong with the water surface.
"There's movement there!"
Hu Yanzhuo shouted, and the soldiers immediately rushed forward with torches, and an inconspicuous cargo ship appeared in the canal.
"Whoosh!"
An arrow was shot out, hitting the soldier in front, followed by several more arrows. The first ten soldiers were shot dead on the spot, and the soldiers who rushed to the ditch broke away in an instant.
