Water Margin: My 108 Heroes Come from All Heavens

in fact.

He had already been considering changing jobs for a while.

He followed Zhao Gou.

I'm under pressure all the time, and I even have to work overtime in the middle of the night.

If one day the other party discovers that I also have a system, the consequences will be even more dire.

but……

Han Zhong represents the demon camp of the Jin Kingdom.

They take pleasure in eating people.

He was destined to be irreconcilable enemies with the Jin Dynasty, and it was impossible for them to be on the same side.

"Guards! Take all these monsters to the Heavenly Prison and keep them under strict guard!"

Zhao Gou gave Liangshan a deep look and gave the order in a deep voice.

"yes!"

Zhu Wushi, Cao Zhengchun, and Yu Huatian responded simultaneously.

They then each employed their own methods.

They subdued the ninety-three demons.

Spy guards from the Dragon Guard Manor, agents from the Eastern Depot, and officers from the Western Depot filed in.

The demons were escorted out of the palace.

soon.

The once bustling hall suddenly became much quieter.

The surviving ministers, including Cai Jing and Wang Fu, looked at each other, their faces pale and their legs trembling.

Even those carefree military generals.

He also became taciturn at this point, clearly not yet having processed this cruel reality.

"My esteemed ministers, you may disperse."

Zhao Gou glanced at the remaining officials in the hall, his voice low and weary.

"We take our leave!"

The officials, as if granted a pardon, hastily withdrew from the Linde Hall.

Liangshan was also about to retreat.

But Zhao Gou stopped him.

"Liang Aiqing, you stay."

Liang Shan paused, his heart sinking.

It’s over.

It's definitely not going to be good.

Zhao Ling'er jumped up from her seat, looking at Zhao Gou with pleading eyes: "Father, I want to stay too!"

"You go back first."

Zhao Gou's face was stern, and his tone left no room for argument.

Zhao Ling'er pouted, glanced at Zhao Gou, then at Liang Shan, and reluctantly left Linde Hall.

……

Inside the hall.

Only Liangshan and Zhao Gou remained.

Zhao Gou sat on the dragon throne, his fingers tapping lightly on the armrest, making a rhythmic "tap-tap" sound.

Liang Shan stood with his hands hanging down, his heart filled with unease.

a long time.

Zhao Gou finally spoke, his voice low and somber: "Minister Liang, what do you think of... how I treat you?"

"Your Majesty's grace is boundless; I am deeply grateful."

Liang Shan bowed immediately, and then launched into a string of official platitudes.

"Yeah?"

Zhao Gou's lips curled up.

After a pause, he finally revealed his purpose: "The reason I kept you here is actually to give you a... mission."

Here it comes!

Liang Shan secretly thought things were going badly; it seemed they were about to increase his KPIs.

"I want you to feign surrender to the Jin Dynasty and become an undercover agent."

Zhao Gou stood up, walked to Liang Shan, and said in a low voice.

"What?!"

Liang Shan's eyes widened.

He had just killed the Celestial Realm Evil Dragon of the Jin Kingdom not long ago, and now he had also exposed the ninety-three demons lurking in the court.

The Jin state probably wished they could get rid of him as soon as possible.

Go undercover?

Isn't this like throwing lambs to the slaughter?!

"Your Majesty, I am of limited talent and learning, and I fear I am unfit for this great responsibility..."

Liang Shan hurriedly declined, shaking his head like a rattle drum.

"Liangshan".

Zhao Gou interrupted him, somewhat weary, and said, "Now, among all the civil and military officials, there are very few people I can trust."

Upon hearing this...

Liang Shan blinked.

Isn't that right?

Almost all the civil and military officials in the court were demons, except for Zhu Wushi, the three others, and treacherous officials like Cai Jing, who were his own people.

It would be strange if he had anyone to hire him.

"Today's events have served as a reminder to me."

Zhao Gou, hands behind his back, gazed intently: "Since demons can infiltrate the court of our Great Song Dynasty, we can also send spies to the Jin Dynasty to infiltrate its high-ranking officials, working with the Song Dynasty from within and without to steal intelligence and relieve the pressure on our Great Song!"

Looking at Zhao Gou's triumphant appearance, Liang Shan couldn't help but twitch his lips a few times.

It seems so.

Zhao Gou was greatly provoked by these ninety-three demons.

They actually want to send an undercover agent to the Jin Kingdom; they're playing a double agent game here.

"The undercover job is of utmost importance."

Zhao Gou took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Not only do we need to remain calm in the face of danger and adapt to changing circumstances, but we also need to possess sufficient strength. Such talents are extremely rare, one in ten thousand."

"It is obvious that I am not that kind of person."

Liang Shan quickly spoke up, his survival instinct kicking in.

"It's obvious that you're that kind of talent."

Zhao Gou stared at him, his tone leaving no room for argument.

Liang Shan gave a bitter laugh.

Is there anything else I want to say?

But Zhao Gou interrupted him: "When you return home victorious, I will bestow upon you the title of a king of a different surname!"

A king of a different surname?

Liang Shan's lips twitched a few times.

He can make grand promises sound appealing, but he needs to be alive to actually enjoy them.

The Jin Kingdom is the lair of demons. If he, a human, were to truly submit to it, he would likely face immense difficulties.

"Don't worry."

Zhao Gou suddenly took out a pill and said with a smile, "This pill was obtained by me by chance. It is called the Transformation Pill. After taking it, you can transform into any race in the world, and I guarantee that no one will be able to recognize your human identity."

"No one can see through it?"

Liang Shan's eyes lit up as he looked at the pill.

It seems so.

It must have been obtained from the system.

Thinking about this.

He couldn't help but feel a deep sadness.

Their system, even if just a little bit of information leaks out, is priceless.

And my own system...

No.

The more I think about it, the angrier I get.

When I get back, I must find the system and give it a good scolding.

"This elixir is indeed miraculous."

Zhao Gou coughed lightly, not daring to make any promises: "But don't be too reckless. The world is vast, and there are always people who possess special supernatural abilities to identify demons."

Upon hearing this...

Liang Shan remained silent for a moment.

He cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I believe this matter needs to be considered..."

"I haven't settled accounts with you yet for corrupting my daughter."

Zhao Gou said something in a low voice, his eyes full of meaning.

Liang Shan swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

My back was covered in cold sweat.

"Ling'er used to be such a well-behaved child, but now she keeps repeating things like 'I will never part from you until the mountains crumble and the heavens and earth unite,' and she even says she wants to find a lover and elope..."

Zhao Gou sighed and shook his head: "As a father, my heart aches."

Liang Shan swallowed hard.

He felt extremely guilty.

"So, are you going to go on this undercover mission or not?"

Zhao Gou looked at Liangshan with a tender gaze, as if he were looking at a dead man.

"go!"

Liang Shan gritted his teeth and said.

"Excellent! I knew I hadn't misjudged you!"

Zhao Gou patted Liang Shan on the shoulder, his face full of satisfaction: "Don't worry, I won't let you fight alone. Someone will contact you, a one-way communication. No one but me will know your identity."

Liang Shan gave a bitter smile.

I knew earlier...

He had vowed never to tell Zhao Ling'er a love story again.

He dug a hole and buried himself in it.

"Get ready, we'll set off in three days."

Zhao Gou added another sentence.

"So fast?!"

Liang Shan's eyes widened.

"The pressure on the soldiers at the front is too great; the sooner the better."

Zhao Gou nodded solemnly.

He then handed the pills to Liang Shan.

Liangshan accepted the elixir.

Since things had come to this, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.

"By the way, Your Majesty, do you know where the Five Elements Qi can be found?"

He suddenly thought of something and took the initiative to ask.
