Watching Li Kui's retreating figure, Li Huan couldn't help but sigh.
These lonely bachelors on Liangshan would definitely be envious if they saw a group of young women every day.
It's only natural to lose control.
Xiao Qiao suddenly asked, "Mr. Li Huan, what exactly is the purpose of this Liangshan Marsh?"
Li Huan smiled calmly: "To be honest, Liangshan Marsh has a total of 106 leaders and tens of thousands of soldiers. They occupy the advantageous terrain, rob the rich to help the poor, act on behalf of Heaven, and fight against the imperial court!"
Xiao Qiao nodded, her eyes revealing approval and admiration.
Da Qiao asked, "What position does Mr. Li Huan hold at Liangshan Marsh?"
Li Huan truthfully stated, "I am the head of Liangshan Marsh, sitting in the top seat!"
Xiao Qiao said, "Does Mr. Li Huan often use the 'Light Escape Technique' to come to Liangshan Marsh?"
Li Huan said in a serious tone, "That's right! The current court is corrupt, and the emperor is incompetent, causing the people to suffer greatly. Many heroes were forced to join the Liangshan bandits and form a righteous army. Seeing their chivalrous deeds, I stayed at Liangshan Marsh and became their leader!"
Xiao Qiao nodded, then asked, "Then Hu Sanniang is called your wife? Or perhaps, she's your sister?"
Clearly, Xiao Qiao did not understand the term "Niangzi" (娘子) used during the Song Dynasty.
Da Qiao naturally didn't understand that "Niangzi" meant "wife".
Li Huan stated directly, "Hu Sanniang is my wife!"
Xiao Qiao was astonished: "You came to the Song Dynasty nine hundred years in the future and married a woman from Liangshan Marsh?"
Li Huan didn't hide anything and succinctly recounted his experience of setting up a stall selling boxed lunches in Hujiazhuang.
Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao were quite moved after hearing this.
"That Zhu Biao is greedy and ungrateful. He didn't save Hu Sanniang for money. He's truly despicable!"
"Fortunately, Hu Sanniang married Mr. Li Huan. If she had married Zhu Biao, she would not have had a good outcome."
Li Huan laughed and said, "I married Sun Shangxiang in Wu County, and now I've married Hu Sanniang in the Song Dynasty. Aren't you two indignant on behalf of Sun Shangxiang?"
Xiao Qiao laughed and said, "September 100 years apart, how can my sister and I evaluate this, or how can we stand up for what is right?"
She still believed that Sun Shangxiang was still in a foreign land during the Three Kingdoms period.
The matter of time travel was indeed beyond Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao's comprehension, and Li Huan could not explain it in detail at the moment. Since Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao did not blame him, Li Huan did not waste any more words.
He thought to himself that, according to the system's requirements, when traveling back to the world of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin", he could only bring two people with him. Currently, there were four people: Xiao Qiao, Da Qiao, Hu Sanniang, and Pan Jinlian. He had to make a choice.
Li Huan quickly thought it over and decided to take Xiao Qiao and Pan Jinlian to the real world first, and then come back to pick up Da Qiao next time.
As for Hu Sanniang, she is more suited to remain in "Water Margin".
Having made up his mind, Li Huan instructed Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao to get on the electric tricycle and head towards Juyi Hall.
Ten minutes later.
Arrive at the front of the Hall of Righteousness.
A heated argument could be heard from inside the hall, along with the sounds of tables being slammed and benches being smashed.
Li Huan was filled with rage.
The imperial court hasn't even sent troops to besiege Liangshan Marsh yet, and instead of using this time to train your troops, what are you doing sitting in your rooms making a ruckus in broad daylight?!
Li Huan got out of the car, led Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao up the steps, and entered the Hall of Gathering Righteousness!
Wu Song pointed at Lu Junyi's nose and said loudly, "Master Lu, don't blame me for speaking rudely, but you want to go to another place to buy fertile land, which clearly means you intend to retire!"
"If you don't want to stay in Liangshan, please leave as soon as possible, Master Lu. Why insist on spending Liangshan's money?"
Lu Junyi was about to retort when he saw Li Huan.
“Brother Li Huan…” Lu Junyi’s expression changed slightly.
"Big brother is back! Big brother is back!"
The crowd cheered in unison.
Then the hall fell silent.
Because everyone was staring blankly at Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao.
They were radiant and graceful, like celestial beings descended to earth, or like two bright lamps illuminating the Hall of Gathering Righteousness.
Wang Ying, the short-legged tiger, stared intently at Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, and involuntarily took steps toward them.
"Did you bring these two women back, brother, to give to the brothers as wives?"
As Wang Ying spoke, she swallowed hard.
"I wonder if my elder brother would be so kind as to grant me the beauty on the left as my wife? I would be eternally grateful and would serve you faithfully, even unto death!"
Wang Ying stared at Xiao Qiao, her two small, beady eyes blazing with longing.
Shi Qian suddenly burst out laughing: "Hehehe... Dwarf Tiger, you've died ten thousand times, what do you need a wife for?"
Wang Ying said, "To die beneath the peony is to die a romantic death. To spend a night with such a beautiful woman, I, Wang Ying, would rather live ten years less."
Snap!
Wang Ying got slapped!
The person who hit him was Li Huan!
"These two ladies are my good friends. How dare you harbor such evil thoughts and utter such disrespectful words!"
Li Huan shouted angrily and slapped Wang Ying again, making him bleed from his mouth and nose and spit out his teeth.
"Since I left Liangshan, you have not violated military discipline, yet you have harassed the women soldiers. What is your punishment?"
Wang Ying covered her face and fell to her knees with a thud.
"Brother Li Huan! I was so tempted, I shouldn't have touched that young lady's hand, I know I was wrong!"
Wu Song clasped his hands in a fist and said, “I have already severely punished Wang Ying. I punished him by making him go down the mountain and steal 10,000 taels of silver from the government to fill the treasury. I also gave him fifty lashes and made him fetch water from the kitchen for ten days.”
Li Huan nodded, then scolded, "If you dare to touch me again, I'll chop off your dog's melon seeds!"
Wang Ying trembled in fright: "I won't dare again, I won't dare again..."
Li Huan then looked at Lu Junyi with displeasure.
“Master Lu, I just heard Wu Song say that you went to other places to buy fertile land. When did Liangshan start doing this kind of business?”
Lu Junyi hurriedly clasped his hands in greeting: "Liangshan's reputation is widespread, and the number of people coming to join us is increasing every day. However, it is not suitable to grow crops on the mountain, which makes me extremely anxious. Therefore, I have ordered people to go to other places to buy fertile land, so as to solve Liangshan's food shortage problem!"
Wu Song quickly retorted, "We live off the land and the water! When have the heroes of Liangshan ever gone hungry? Don't try to scare us with this excuse to use the Liangshan treasury to buy fertile land elsewhere and build houses for yourselves."
Li Huan understood.
Lu Junyi was making long-term plans and considering his future.
As the saying goes, "He who does not plan for the future will have trouble in the present."
After Song Jiang and Wu Yong died, no one dared to mention the matter of "accepting amnesty" again.
Lu Junyi has become a wanted criminal of the imperial court. He dares not leave Liangshan Marsh at present, and he will not be able to be granted amnesty in the future. He can only make preparations in advance by buying fertile land and building a house.
This guy originally made his fortune through business. He's shrewd and clever. Now he's hiding in Liangshan, living a carefree life. Once Liangshan is destroyed or declines, he'll take the opportunity to leave and live a leisurely rural life.
Li Huan smiled faintly, already having a plan in mind.
You, Lu Junyi, are secretly plotting something, but I'll use your intelligence to expand Liangshan's market and accumulate wealth.
Li Huan said, "Master Lu's foresight is exactly what I want. Please have Master Lu write a detailed plan and give it to me!"
"A planning document?" Lu Junyi was taken aback!
