I became a saint by picking up corpses in Water Margin

Chapter 390 Yang Chang Pulls Out the Willow
Xiao Gong brought a thousand Xi troops and followed Yang Chang and his wife back to Zhending overnight.

It’s not that he didn’t think about escaping. After all, if he wasn’t careful or took advantage of the cover of night, he could easily get rid of surveillance.

however.

Yang Chang and Qiu Qiongying were hitting flying birds with flying stones on the road, which stunned the Xi people.

The accuracy and height are even more terrifying than archery.

If I try to escape rashly and get discovered, won't I be hit to death by a flying stone?

This visual shock did not end there.

When the team reached the vicinity of Shahe River, dusk had already fallen quietly.

Yang Chang ordered the army to light torches and let the horses rest, eat grass and drink water. After that, they had to continue their march and rush back to Zhending City overnight.

In order to demonstrate his night vision, Yang Chang deliberately stood on a high place beside the bridge and counted the number of people in front of Xiao Gong.

"Thirty-five, thirty-six, thirty-seven"

Xiao Gong stood aside, not daring to interrupt the counting, but he didn't believe it in his heart.

There are spots everywhere you look, can you really see them clearly?
If you count the people in this team now, there should be one hundred but actually there are ninety-three. Princess Qiu is also standing on the bridge at this moment, waiting to see how this ends.

"Ninety-two, ninety-three."

Yang Chang stopped counting abruptly, then looked at Xiao Gong with a puzzled look, "Strange, why are there seven less?"

"Uh"

Xiao Gong was horrified and thought, can you really see that?

You are already so strong and have such terrifying abilities. No wonder you had to fight at night so many times before. Why is God so caring for you?

Legend has it that the Prince of Jin was nicknamed the Bright Heavenly Lord. Could you really be a god who has descended to earth?
Thinking of this, Xiao Gong swallowed his saliva and replied awkwardly: "Just now outside Anxi City, dozens of soldiers fell to Jin Wang Tong, and this team suffered slightly more casualties."

"I see."

"quack."

Yang hadn't finished speaking when he was interrupted by a few bird calls, and the calls continued.

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a few crows chirping on the branch of Uncle Willow's tree.

"It's really noisy!"

"Sir, the sound is like a crow?"

"It's crows. There seem to be seven or eight of them. I don't know what they are calling."

After hearing the conversation between Yang Chang and Qiu Qiongying, Xiao Gong was once again shocked by his vision. He thought to himself, not only can you see in the dark, but you can also see far away, right?

The fellow immediately volunteered, saying solemnly: "King Jin, on our grassland, crows are ominous birds. Their appearance will bring disaster. I will go and chase them away right away."

"Just go."

Yang Changgang signaled him to leave, then clenched his right fist and smashed it into the palm of his left hand in annoyance.

There was a crisp sound.

Seeing this, Qiu Qiongying immediately asked with concern: "Sir, what's wrong with you?"

"I shouldn't have let him chase the birds away. I should have just gone and pulled out the tree. That way they wouldn't dare to do anything rash."

"Pulling out a tree? Sir, you want to learn from Master Lu? This is not easy. Are you sure?"

"Haha, what do you think?"

Yang Chang smiled mysteriously, thinking to himself, I am at the seventh level of Qi training, my Dantian is as vast as a lake, no matter the burst or endurance, I am far superior to Lu Zhishen who is at the second level of Qi training.

Qiu Qiongying knew it was safe when she heard the tone, so she pointed in the direction of the willow tree and said anxiously: "Sir, go quickly. Xiao Gong is still looking for stones on the ground. It's not too late to go now. The bird hasn't run away yet."

"Very good."

Yang Chang said this with big strides, and in a flash he came to Xiao Gong's side, pretending to be curious and asked, "I asked you to chase the birds, why are you bending over?"

"Eh? I'll find some stones."

"Looking for stones to chase away birds?"

"correct."

Xiao Gong nodded and replied, "Although it's not as accurate as you and the princess, it can still scare away a few crows."

"Don't bother with that. Just pull the tree out."

"What did you say, King Jin?"

"Pulling out the tree."

Yang Chang left this sentence and walked straight to the willow tree. Xiao Gong followed him after realizing it, and reminded him carefully: "Prince Jin, this is a tree, not a bunch of grass."

"So what about the tree? Ask my princess, am I the first one to pull up a tree?"

“You’re not number one yet?”

Xiao Gong was confused at this time. He felt like a frog in a well and came to a strange world.

Just as he was stunned, Qiu Qiongying said, "When you get to Zhending, ask around. The story of Lu Zhishen uprooting a weeping willow tree is nothing new."

"Lu Zhishen?"

"Well, he will come to Zhending soon. By the way, it was he who went with me to Shangjing and saw me chop off Wuqimai's head with Yelu Yanxi's sword."

"hiss"

Xiao Gong heard a deep breath.

When he learned that Wuqimai had passed away, Wushi and others told the public that he died suddenly of a serious illness, and no one guessed the real cause of death.

Yang Changgang had already said once that he would kill the Jin emperor with his own hands after persuading Xiao Gong to surrender. Now he brought forward the witness Lu Zhishen and reiterated his glorious record, which made Xiao Gong begin to doubt.

He's not telling the truth, is he?

The Jin emperor was killed by him? Who dares to be his opponent?
The decapitation operation has been upgraded? Killing generals and marshals was scary enough before, but now you are targeting the emperor directly?
Okay, okay, I have no regrets surrendering.

As long as Yang Chang keeps on killing, the Jin Kingdom will surely be finished in the future.

At this moment, Yang Chang had come to the willow tree, and after taking a look, he smiled.

The willow tree in front of him should be as big as a telephone pole, and thicker than the one pulled out by Lu Zhishen that year. However, Yang Chang didn't care at all. This guy even wanted to make it more difficult.

"Master Lu uprooted the weeping willow tree upside down. Today, I will pull it upside down for you."

"Hurry, all of you stay away, be careful not to get hurt by the tree!"

When Qiu Qiongying heard this, she was the first to stand up and echoed and reminded loudly. Yang Changze smiled and comforted her: "It's okay, I won't hurt anyone when I pull out the tree."

"Then don't leave!"

"Uh"

Xiao Gong took two steps back and then stood still again.

In a daze, he saw that Yang Chang neither took off his armor nor gathered any strength to prepare himself. His hands were just placed directly on the tree. The scene looked like he was holding a flagpole with both hands.

Then, I heard a voice: "Get up!"

In an instant, the entire river bank shook violently.

Yang Chang held the tree up like this, pulling out a bunch of roots like pulling out a carrot. He raised his hands above his chest but didn't pull any roots off. Then he gently threw it towards the Sha River, and the crown of the willow tree fell upside down into the water.

The moment he lifted up the willow tree, it was like Sun Wukong using a fake gourd to cover the sky, making the originally dark sky suddenly become pitch black.

The people of the grassland advocate the use of force, but they have an answer in their minds about the upper limit of the strong, which is nothing more than being the strongest in the tribe. However, Yang Chang has obviously subverted their cognition.

Xiao Gong and his troops were dumbfounded. They couldn't believe that anyone could do such a thing, and yet it was happening right before their eyes.

The willow tree fell by the river, which was ironclad proof.

At that moment, no one wanted to run.

The Xi soldiers who were resting nearby plucked up their courage one after another and came to the fallen tree in groups of three or four to take a look, making clicking sounds from time to time.

Commander Xiao Gong was no exception. He even lowered his head to confirm the authenticity of the tree roots, but accidentally saw Yang Chang's shoes.

Prince Jin's shoes are so clean that they should be able to lift the willow tree up, but the tree's force will push back on him, and his shoes will be stuck in the mud.

He doesn't need to borrow strength from the earth? Then how much strength does this pair of arms need?

"Take some time to rest. We'll set off in one stick of incense!"

"Yes!"

If outside Anxi City, these Xi people surrendered under pressure, now they were truly submitting to Yang Chang and succumbing to his inhuman power.

The troops marched at night, and no one left halfway, until they arrived at the city of Zhending in the late night. At that time, Lu Junyi was in charge of defense. When he heard the scouts report that there was a fire in the north of the city, it seemed that a group of soldiers were coming, he personally went to the north gate to meet the enemy.

When the 'enemy troops' arrived at the city, he heard that familiar voice.

"Brother, it's me! Open the city gate!"

"Is this the King of Jin?"

Lu Junyi lowered his head to identify it carefully. His ears recognized it but his heart did not. He thought, how could it be the Prince of Jin?
The Prince of Jin and the Princess went to scout this morning, but there were only two of them on two horses. But now there are more than a thousand people outside the city. After all, I have been an envoy and participated in many major wars. How could I be fooled by this?
It must be a bad guy pretending to be him, trying to take advantage of the King of Jin's absence to steal our Zhending city.

Thinking of this, Lu Junyi said loudly: "It is already late now, and it is not convenient to place the army in the city. Please camp outside the city for the time being and enter the city tomorrow morning."

"Sir, does Lu Junyi dare to disobey orders? Is he planning a rebellion?"

"My lady, don't be angry. Lu Junyi has suffered a lot in the past, and he is just being too cautious at this moment."

"Can"

Qiu Qiongying was about to complain, but when she turned around, she saw Xiao Gong standing by. She then approached Yang Chang and gently reminded him, "You can't stop us from spending the night outside the city just because he's cautious. Where is your prestige, my king?"

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"Haha, don't worry, ma'am."

After Yang Chang finished comforting Qiu Qiongying with a smile, he immediately turned to look at Xiao Gong and asked, "General Xiao, do you know Qinggong?"

"heard about it."

Xiao Gong nodded and said, "It is said that there are some people in the Song Dynasty who can climb walls and break into houses and commit murders with the help of tools."

“You can also do it without tools.”

"Oh"

"Want to see it?"

Without waiting for Xiao Gong to respond, Yang Chang grabbed the saddle and jumped down.

Under firelight.

Xiao Gong looked surprised and immediately looked at Qiu Qiongying beside him.

"Why are you looking at me? The king asked you to look at him!"

"Ah I"

"Look."

"Eh"

As soon as Xiao Gong responded and turned around, he saw, with the help of the firelight from the city walls and outside the city, that Yang Chang, who was wearing an embroidered robe and golden armor, suddenly flew into the air, stepped on the city wall to gain leverage, and then jumped onto the city wall.

"Princess, what is the Prince of Jin doing?"

"Didn't you hear just now? This is the king's Qinggong."

"He also knows Qinggong?"

"The king knows everything. You will slowly discover it in the future."

As soon as Qiu Qiongying finished speaking, she heard Lu Junyi shouting from the city wall: "Open the city gate quickly!"

"Control your soldiers and do not disturb the people when entering the city, otherwise the King of Jin will not forgive you!"

"Don't worry, Princess. They can save it all."

Xiao Gong patted his chest and promised, Qiu Qiongying immediately grabbed the two reins, urged the mount forward, and responded: "That's good, get ready to queue up to enter the city!"

At this time, Lu Junyi on the city wall was still suspicious when he saw Yang Chang, so after giving the order to open the city, he continued to ask: "Prince Jin, where did you get this army outside the city?"

"Zhongshan Prefecture, Anxi County."

"Zhongshan is safe? Isn't that where the Salihe garrison is?"

"correct."

Yang Chang nodded slightly and replied calmly, "This is the army he sent to ambush me. It was also the defeated army that ambushed Li Yanxian, and then I surrendered them in front of me."

"You are undoubtedly capable of fighting against thousands of troops, but there are only two of you, the princess and I. How did you bring them back? Could these people be Salihe's accomplices?"

Lu Junyi asked with a worried look on his face.

Yang Changze smiled and waved his hands, "Didn't you see me using Qinggong just now? I only need to show a little bit of my strength, do they dare to escape halfway? As for Salihe's accomplice? He is probably trembling in Anxi at this moment, it is impossible for someone to be his accomplice."

“You are too strong.”

Lu Junyi was known to be the unrivaled master of spears and sticks, so it was not easy for him to compliment others, but he was truly convinced by Yang Chang.

The two of them cooperated for the first time to attack Zengtou City. At that time, Yang Chang had a hard time fighting Shi Wengong, but Lu Junyi was able to subdue Shi Wengong with just a few moves. He dared to claim that his martial arts was second to none in Liangshan, and he never dared to show up and say that he was the best.

Now, only ten years have passed, and Lu Junyi can no longer catch up with his former younger brother, and the gap is still quite long. It is not an exaggeration to say that he can only catch up with him.

It was heard that many unknown Liangshan leaders had greatly improved their martial arts skills after being taught by Yang Chang. Lu Junyi also wanted to ask for guidance, but he couldn't bring himself to do so.

He complimented Yang Chang for a few words on the city wall, then followed him downstairs to welcome the army into the city, and then took Xiao Gong to settle the surrendered soldiers.

It was already past midnight when Xiao Gong finished his work. He wanted to ask Yang Chang for permission to rest, but Lu Junyi told him to come back tomorrow morning, saying that it was inconvenient to disturb him.

How could Xiao Gong dare not disobey? He returned to his place of settlement to rest. Zhending City was completely quiet at this point, with only soldiers on duty at night patrolling the streets from time to time.

Everyone was asleep, but Lu Junyi, the garrison commander of Zhending, didn't dare to sleep. Ever since he was stabbed in the back by Song Jiang, it became difficult for him to trust strangers.

Although Yang Chang said that Xiao Gong's people could be trusted, Lu Junyi's mind was still filled with question marks.

Non-my family, its heart must be different.

If he didn't demonstrate his loyalty through actual actions, he wouldn't treat him as a real colleague, so he took special care of the Xi people's resettlement site and basically didn't sleep that night.

After finally making it to dawn, Lu Junyi had just fallen asleep at his desk when Xiao Gong came to his door in a hurry.

"General Lu, General Lu?"

"Ok?"

Lu Junyi suddenly woke up, frowned when he saw Xiao Gong and asked, "It's you, what are you doing here?"

"I came to see King Jin. Did you sleep here last night?"

Seeing Lu Junyi's exhausted face, Xiao Gong thought to himself, are all the generals under the King of Jin so hardworking? No wonder he became so successful in just a few years. If he wants to gain a foothold, he will probably have to work hard too.

"To see the King of Jin?"

Lu Junyi rubbed his forehead and said in a slightly reproachful tone: "You arrived late yesterday, and it's just dawn now. Can't you let the King of Jin rest for a while?"

"Am I early?"

"What do you say?"

"Uh"

Xiao Gong was about to ask when it was not too early, but suddenly he heard someone behind him calling: "Brother, brother"

Turning around and looking back, I saw a thin man who quickly arrived at the lobby of the government office.

So fast!

"Brother, he is"

"The newly surrendered General Xiao."

"Oh? Hello, Brother Xiao."

"Don't shout, I'm not as old as you!"

After hearing Lu Junyi's reminder, Shi Qian quickly joked to Xiao Gong: "Isn't that perfect? ​​Now it's your turn to call me brother."

"Don't be so unreasonable, General Xiao, don't blame me, this is Shi Qian, the commander of the time."

"General Xiao Gong, I meet the current commander."

Xiao Gong imitated the Han people in performing the fist-clasping salute, and his heart was filled with turmoil again.

This short man can actually be a commander. Who are the people under the command of King Jin?

Just as he was thinking, he heard Lu Junyi beside him asking, "Why are you in such a hurry to come here so early in the morning?"

"I want to see King Jin."

As soon as Shi Qian finished speaking, Lu Junyi reminded him in a deep voice: "I just said that it's early in the morning now. If there is nothing urgent, don't disturb King Jin's rest."

"How could I not know my limits? But there is an urgent military situation today. Wushu led the main force of the Jin army northward and crossed the Yellow River yesterday."

"This is really an emergency. I'll send someone to ask for it right away."
