Water Margin: You dog official, you still say you don’t know martial arts?

Chapter 872 Tian Ding: My country has been destroyed again [3 more]

Nanfeng Prefecture.

"Congratulations, king!"

Song Jiang led his men into the Imperial Garden and said to Tian Ding, who was playing with the concubines:
"The imperial court has sent an envoy to recruit us!"

"Recruitment?"

Tian Ding hadn't reacted yet, and was still chatting with the palace maid with a playful smile:

"What kind of peace?"

Song Jiang said happily:

"The court is willing to pardon our crimes and recruit us to serve as officials!
"My king, are you surprised?"

Crazy?
Tian Ding's face changed:
"We are so happy to be kings and overlords here, why should we serve as dogs for the imperial court?"

"What are you talking about, my king?"

Song Jiang's face was as black as a coal ball:
"We are rebelling against the will of Heaven, and we have no choice but to do it!
"Now the court doesn't care about our crimes and invites us to serve as officials. What's wrong with that?

"Does Your Majesty want to be a rebel for the rest of his life?"

"you--"

Tian Ding's expression changed constantly:

"Grandmaster, this matter still needs to be carefully considered..."

"That's too late!"

Song Jiang said coldly:

"The angel has arrived at the palace gate. Your Majesty, please prepare to receive the order!"

"what?"

Tian Ding's face changed drastically:

“The Imperial Master hasn’t come out yet!
"For such a big thing, we should at least inform the Imperial Master!"

"The Imperial Master is in seclusion and won't see anyone, so there's no need to disturb him!"

Song Jiang raised a playful smile and looked back at Prime Minister Wu Yong and Grand Commandant Dong Ping behind him:

"We all support the king's offer of amnesty. Your Majesty, please prepare to receive the order!"

Tian Ding's face turned green:

"I don't want to be recruited!
"I don't want to accept the order!
"I want to see the Imperial Master!"

"Recruiting is in accordance with the will of heaven, please don't make mistakes, my king!"

Before Song Jiang could say anything else, the imperial envoy came in.

It was Su Yuanjing who had just returned from Daming Prefecture.

This time, Su Yuanjing finally enjoyed the treatment he deserved, with everyone treating him like a star and following him closely.

Su Yuanjing took out the imperial edict from the imperial edict box, held the imperial edict in his hand and looked at Tian Ding.

Tian Ding stood straight and was about to say something powerful and resounding when he suddenly heard Song Jiang sneer.

"Pfft!"

Tian Ding's legs went weak and he knelt down, even more cowardly than Emperor Xian of Han when he stood in front of Cao Cao.

It’s simple, he was dealt with by Song Jiang.

Song Jiang, Wu Yong, and Dong Ping all knelt behind Tian Ding. Su Yuanjing then unfolded the imperial edict and read aloud:
"The decree said: Since I ascended the throne, I have used benevolence and righteousness to govern the world, practiced rituals and music to change the country, and used fair rewards and punishments to stop wars...

"Blah blah blah, I miss Tian Ding, Song Jiang and others, who are loyal and righteous and never cruel. They have long wanted to surrender and are determined to serve the country...

"Blah blah blah, I have now specially sent the Grand Marshal Su Yuanjing to carry the imperial edict and personally go to Nanfeng to pardon all the crimes committed by Song Jiang and other people, big and small...

"Blah blah blah, when the amnesty arrives, don't let me down and surrender as soon as possible. I will definitely make you important. Therefore, I have issued this edict, and I hope you will know it.

"Promulgated on November 20th, winter of the seventh year of Zhenghe."

After Su Yuanjing finished reading the imperial edict, Song Jiang and others shouted "Long live the emperor" and bowed again to express their gratitude.

Tian Ding collapsed to the ground:
The overall situation has been decided, and I have lost my country again...

……

Jingnan Prefecture.

King Liang Yong of Jingnan came to the Prime Minister's Mansion on horseback.

Today, Prime Minister Li Zhu hosted a banquet and invited him to discuss important matters.

When Liang Yong arrived, he saw that important court officials including Imperial Preceptor Kou Wei, Privy Councilor Li Huai, Grand Marshal Teng Xun, and Palace Commander Yuan Lang had all arrived.

Although they are all high-ranking officials, since the territory only covers Jingnan, they are actually just changed names compared to the past.

Even if Liang Yong wanted to put on airs, he couldn't...

Li Zhu, Kou Wei and others stood up to greet him and invited Liang Yong to sit in the main seat, and then brought in wine and food.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Liang Yong put down his wine glass and asked Li Zhu: "Prime Minister, what's the big deal?"

"Mr. Jin Jian" Li Zhu smiled bitterly:

"Your Majesty, I have heard that the State of Jin has already surrendered!"

"what?"

Liang Yong was shocked: "Is this true?"

"Not bad!"

Li Zhu smiled bitterly and shook his head:

“I heard that the five prefectures of Nanfeng, Shannan, Yun’an, Ande, and Dongchuan have now been taken over by the government army.

"Tian Ding, Song Jiang and others have led their troops to Tokyo..."

"Clang!"

Liang Yong accidentally knocked over the wine glass and was horrified:

"Doesn't this mean that we are the only family in Huaixi?"

Li Zhu: "Yes."

"Buzzing..."

The news about Li Zu was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples, and everyone present couldn't help but talk about it.

"We are alone and weak. If the imperial army were to surround and suppress us, how would we respond?"

"They have already occupied five prefectures. It's time to make great plans. How can Song Jiang surrender?"

"We might as well surrender..."

"Snapped!"

Liang Yong's head was buzzing and he felt dizzy. He was so angry that he slapped the table hard:
"Shut up, everyone!"

The whole place fell silent. Liang Yong looked around with wide eyes, and finally looked at Li Zhu:
"Does the Prime Minister have any good ideas?"

"Have!"

Li Zhu looked at Liang Yong's drooping eyelids and smiled:

"Three of the four former rebel kings are dead!
"Only Shandong Liu Neng, although recruited by the imperial court, forced the imperial court to give up thirteen prefectures to him!
"Now the name of the King of Yan is so powerful that it shakes the whole world. Instead of serving the court like a dog, it is better to go to the King of Yan and live happily!

"What do you think, Your Majesty?"

"Prime Minister, you——"

Liang Yong was so angry that he suddenly stood up, and then he felt dizzy again and sat down involuntarily.

Seeing Liang Yong like this, Imperial Master Kou Wei realized that his dizziness was not caused by drinking too much.

"Is there poison in the wine?"

Kou Wei struggled to stand up, grabbed the table with both hands and tried to lift it, but it didn't move...

This Kou Yan had a rough, dark and ugly appearance, with short, fluffy hair, a railway cap on his head, and a red robe that was as red as fire.

His nickname is "Poison Flame Ghost King". He is a demon who is accustomed to burning people with demonic fire.

After failing to overturn the table, Kou Wei became furious and muttered something. He drew his sword and slashed at Zhengnanli, then opened his mouth and was about to spit fire at Li Zhu.

It's a pity that his pre-swing is too long!

He had just opened his mouth when a flash of sword light appeared and his head as big as a basket rolled off his neck!
"puff--"

A puff of blood mist spurted out from the neck, and everyone in the room was shocked!

"Shh-"

After the sword cut off Kou Wei's head, it circled in the air and then cut off Liang Yong's head with another sword!
Liang Yong's direct descendants, the brothers Teng Xun and Teng Kan, tried to draw their swords in a hurry, but their hands were too weak to do so.

The brothers Ma Xian and Ma Jin had already drawn their swords, and each of them placed one on the neck of Teng Xun and Teng Kan.

Li Huai stared at Teng Xun and Teng Kan:
"We have already surrendered to King Yan!
"If you don't surrender, you will die!"

Teng Xun and Teng Kan looked at each other and said in unison:

"We surrender! We surrender!"

That's it.

Li Zhu took back the flying sword and told his nephew Li Huai:

"You guys guard Jingnan, I'm going to Daming Prefecture."

……

Daming Mansion.

After a thorough inspection, An Daoquan stood up and said with a smile:
"Congratulations, Your Highness. The princess is pregnant!"
