Two days later, Ma Zheng led people across the Yellow River.
Along the way, Ma Zheng was very careful. After crossing the Yellow River, he only walked a few dozen miles and rested after entering Xiangzhou.
After staying in Xiangzhou for another two days, I saw that everything was fine before heading north.
"Daughter, don't think about it, the thief won't come!"
After passing Xiangzhou, Cheng Wanli sighed when he saw that Sun Lei did not show up. He didn't know whether he should be happy or regretful.
"He will come! He said so!"
Cheng Wan'er shook her head and said with a firm tone.
"We are already in Hebei. Can he still come from Liangshan?"
Cheng Wanli looked at his daughter and said.
"Bang bang bang!"
A burst of earth cannon sounded.
"kill!"
Suddenly, there were loud shouts of killing from the mountains on both sides, and a group of thieves wearing animal skins and wielding swords came down from both sides.
"Where did the thief come from!"
The leading general stepped forward and shouted, trying to scare away the thieves with the majesty of an official army.
But to their surprise, they found that these thieves had no fear and rushed directly into the formation.
"If possible, try not to leave anyone alive."
This is Sun Lei's order. Everyone in Liangshan will abide by Sun Lei's order. They wave their weapons and harvest the lives of those soldiers.
Soon, hundreds of soldiers were slaughtered, and only Ma Zheng, Zhao Liangsi, and Cheng Wanli retreated to Cheng Waner's carriage.
"Prefect Cheng, long time no see!"
Sun Lei stepped forward with a smile.
"Sun Lei!"
Cheng Wanli looked at Sun Lei in shock. Although he had already guessed, he didn't expect that Sun Lei would actually kill all the soldiers this time.
"Sun Lei!"
Ma Zheng and Zhao Liangsi looked at Sun Lei in disbelief. They did not expect that the most evil thief in the world was actually a young master.
"You two are Ma Zheng, the Wuyi doctor, and Zhao Liangsi, the Zhongsan doctor. You don't have to go to the Jurchen Jin Kingdom!"
Sun Lei looked at Ma Zheng and Zhao Liangsi with a smile and said.
"What do you want to do? We are on a mission to the Kingdom of Jin on the orders of His Majesty the Emperor. You, a thief, dare to stop us. You know it is a capital crime!"
Ma Zhengyi pointed at Sun Lei and scolded him.
"Talking to idiots like you is like playing the piano to an ox. Catch them, gag them and take them away!"
Sun Lei was in no mood to pay attention to Ma Zheng and Zhao Liangsi. These two guys didn't understand what a stupid thing they were doing.
"Miss Cheng, I'm not too late!"
Sun Lei clasped his fists at the carriage and smiled and said that this success was possible thanks to Cheng Wan'er's cooperation and agreement to the marriage.
"Thank you so much, Sun Yingxiong, I will never forget your life-saving grace!"
Cheng Wan'er stepped out of the carriage and saluted Sun Lei with a blessing.
"Ms. Cheng, you're welcome. I'm going to return to Liangshanbo later. Miss Cheng and Magistrate Cheng should also come with me!"
Sun Lei looked at Cheng Waner and Cheng Wanli with a smile and said.
"Why do you want to kill them all? You can capture them!"
Cheng Wanli looked around at the people in Liangshan who were cleaning the battlefield, frowned at Sun Lei and asked, Sun Lei has never killed like this in the past. If Sun Lei has really become a villain, then he will have to reconsider his daughter's death. In the future, there is a big difference between a rebel who still has some conscience and a murderer.
"In order to keep secrets, dead people are the best at keeping secrets. They always have to pay the price for doing something wrong, even if they don't know what they are doing."
Sun Lei looked at the corpses that were dragged away. He had already prepared a big pit on the mountain just to bury these people's corpses.
"What's the meaning?"
Cheng Wanli looked at Sun Lei and asked.
"You still don't understand what you are doing? Do you have the ability to drive tigers and devour wolves? Can you afford the consequences of luring wolves into your house?"
Sun Lei looked at Cheng Wanli and said.
"You mean the Jurchens?"
Because he was going on a mission to the Jurchen Kingdom of Jin, Cheng Wanli specially collected some information, but the information was limited. He only knew that the barbarians in the Jurchen White Mountains and Black Waters used to be attached to the Liao Kingdom. They rebelled against the Liao and established the Jin Kingdom a few years ago.
"It seems that you don't know much about the Jurchens. I'm just telling you that the Jurchens are far stronger than the Khitans. This Song Dynasty can't even defeat the Khitans, but it still wants to plot against the Jurchens? Why don't you take a knife and run to the Jurchens?" Wipe your neck in front of real people?"
Sun Lei looked at Cheng Wanli and said.
"please."
Seeing that the battlefield had been cleaned, Sun Lei didn't say anything to Cheng Wanli and asked Lu Fang to take them away.
"Brother, everything is here!"
Guo Sheng and his men came over carrying a row of boxes, which contained the gifts brought by this mission.
"Take everything and go back to Liangshan!"
Sun Lei nodded and ordered that the battle was over. He could not expose his whereabouts. Staying here for a day would be dangerous.
On the last day of January, Sun Lei finally returned to Liangshanbo with his people.
"elder brother!"
Xu Guanzhong bowed to Sun Lei in the Juyi Hall. After receiving the news, he rushed back to Liangshan with Hu Yanqing.
"Everyone knows what happened, right?"
Sun Lei looked at Xu Guanzhong and asked.
"Brother wants me to lead a team pretending to be a delegation from the Song Dynasty and go to the Kingdom of Jin to find out the truth?"
Xu Guanzhong looked at Sun Lei and asked.
"Yes, seeing is believing. So far we have only fought a small battle with the Jurchens on the Liaodong coast. The real situation of the Jurchens is all speculation, and the specific situation is still unclear."
"However, this trip is full of dangers, and there is a narrow escape from death. The Jurchens are barbarians and moody. I don't want the military advisor to take risks."
Sun Lei shook his head again, his face full of tangles. He was reluctant for Xu Guanzhong to take risks. Although the information was valuable, there were many ways to obtain it, so there was no need for Xu Guanzhong to take risks.
"Brother, I'm willing to go!"
Xu Guanzhong immediately smiled and clasped his fists. He likes to travel around and experience different customs and customs. It is an extremely rare opportunity to go to the Jin Kingdom as an envoy this time. He can even contact the Jurchen high-level officials and explore some core secrets.
"Brother, don't worry about my little brother's safety. My identity this time is as an envoy of the Song Dynasty. The Jurchens have just established their country. It is impossible for them to be at odds with the Song Dynasty. They will never embarrass me."
Seeing that Sun Lei was still a little worried, Xu Guanzhong smiled and said that he was very grateful to Sun Lei for caring about him, but he was unwilling to give up the opportunity to go to Liaodong. Whether it was for the future of Liang Shanbo or for himself, he could not give up this opportunity. opportunity.
"In that case, let's follow the advice of the military adviser. These are the things of the mission. The military adviser should familiarize himself with them first."
Sun Lei pointed at the boxes and said.
"Yes, brother!"
Xu Guanzhong smiled and clasped his fists, asked the guards to move the boxes out, and followed him out.
"This time I pretend to be a mission to go to Liaodong, there are many dangers. I want to think carefully about the candidates. Let's go and rest first!"
Sun Lei looked at the others and said, Xu Guanzhong is willing to take risks for Liangshan, but his brother cannot just watch his brother take risks, he must do his best to ensure Xu Guanzhong's safety.
"Yes, brother!"
Everyone's face was filled with excitement. Although the trip to Liaodong was full of risks, who among the people present didn't have unique skills? How could you be afraid of danger?
