In this way, Zhang Qing stayed on the Shuibo Liangshan Mountain for a total of seven days.
Today is a 'good day' for Zhang Qing and others to return to Dongchang Mansion.
Originally, Wu Zhi planned to take the leaders of the village to see Zhang Qing off.
By the way, arrange a farewell banquet for him.
But when Zhang Qing heard about the farewell banquet, he was so panicked that he seemed to be unable to shake his head.
It wasn't until Zhang Qing rejected Wu Zhi's kindness six times in succession that Wu Zhi sent him away with regret on his face.
After all this tossing, it was already evening.
And when Zhang Qing, leading his group of soldiers, arrived at Dongchangfu City.
At this time, the sky was completely dark.
There were clouds in the sky and not a single star could be seen.
The sudden autumn wind blows by and hits people, making them feel cold and unbearable.
Yes, the weather at this time has already reached late autumn.
When the soldiers under Zhang Qing's command screamed loudly under the city wall, they wanted to give way to the soldiers above the city wall and open the city gate.
The reply I received was that we must wait until the governor personally approves.
Otherwise, no one has the right to let Zhang Qing and others enter the city without permission.
When Zhang Qing heard this reply, he was immediately furious.
I couldn't help but think to myself, what do those blind people think of me, Zhang Qing?
Is it possible that I've only been away from this area for a few days and you guys don't know me anymore?
Just when Zhang Qing was furious, the prefect of Dongchang Mansion came to the city wall with a cautious look on his face.
But I saw that the prefect Liu was about 1.7 meters tall and his face was full of flesh.
Under two thick eyebrows, there is a pair of slightly cloudy triangular eyes.
The nose is slightly larger and the lips are slightly thicker.
A belly that looks like a big iron pot is holding upside down, plus two thick short legs.
It makes the overall look both funny and ridiculous.
When the wealthy prefect Liu saw Zhang Qing and others standing at the foot of the city, his triangular eyes widened.
The expression on his face seems to be saying, weren't you captured by Shuibo Liangshan?
Why was he released safe and sound at this time?
At this moment, Zhang Qing, who was standing under the city, seemed to have guessed what the other party was thinking.
So he quickly explained:
"Master Liu, I know that you must be very confused now as to why I, Zhang Qing, was able to return to Dongchang Mansion safe and sound after being captured by those thieves."
"But before I explain to you, can you let me go into the city first?"
"After all, too many things have happened in these days."
"So I won't be able to explain it clearly to Mr. Liu for a while."
"After I enter the city, I will slowly explain it to Mr. Liu, do you think so?"
But Mr. Liu, after listening to Zhang Qing's remarks, not only did not believe it, but actually laughed with contempt.
After the laughter subsided, the expression on Mr. Liu's face gradually became gloomy.
"Zhang Qing, Zhang Qing, do you think I, Liu, am a fool?"
"Go back quickly, go back to your Shuiboliang Mountain!"
"Otherwise, don't blame me for not remembering the friendship between my former colleagues and shooting you all here!"
Zhang Qing was shocked, and then he quickly stepped forward and shouted:
"Sir, what do you mean by this?"
"I, Zhang Qing, have been living in Dongchang Mansion for more than ten years. Why do you want me to leave?"
As soon as Zhang Qing finished speaking, the corners of Mr. Liu's mouth suddenly twitched several times.
At the same time, when he spoke, he no longer showed any emotion.
"Since you have to pretend to be stupid with me here, I'll ask you a question."
"Someday, if you get a lovely wife, you can send your lovely wife to my mansion to stay temporarily for a month."
"Although I am a rough man, my ability to coax women is thousands of times better than yours, Zhang Qing."
"After the one-month period, I will definitely give you a happy little wife."
"I just hope that when the time comes, you, General Zhang, will never dislike her."
"At this time, if you agree to my request, I will let you enter the city and never break your promise."
"I wonder what General Zhang wants?"
With Zhang Qing's past temper, he would have already ordered the hundreds of soldiers behind him to attack the city.
But Zhang Qing, after experiencing everything in the past few days, his character has obviously become much more mature than before.
At this time, he also knew that if he dared to do that, what would be the difference between it and rebellion?
Moreover, in the situation before us, it is true that we should solve the problem quickly.
If the feud with Mr. Liu continues, he will be the only one who suffers in the end.
Although Zhang Qing felt very humiliated in his heart at this time.
But he had to suppress this anger temporarily.
"Master Liu, I know what you mean."
"When you spoke to me like that just now, you were undoubtedly saying that I had taken refuge in Shuibo Liangshan."
"Well, let me ask you now, how can we prove that we have not taken refuge in Liangshan?"
"How can we enter the city? Please let Mr. Liu explain clearly."
Master Liu curled his lips and sneered.
"I have such thoughts in my heart, is there anything wrong with me?"
"The head coach of Tokyo City's 800,000 Imperial Guards, Lin Chong, and the Imperial Envoy Yang Zhi, and that little bastard officer Lu Da who serves as the commander-in-chief."
"Before this, who was not an official of the imperial court?
Who is not loyal to the imperial court?"
"But what happened next?"
"Don't you still want to join Shuibo Liangshan?"
"It's not impossible for you, Zhang Qing, to come to the city, but you must obey the following conditions of mine."
"The first is that the hundreds of soldiers under your command must immediately throw away their weapons and let me appoint people to bring all those soldiers into the camp for custody."
"No one is allowed to be released without my order."
"As for you, Zhang Qing?"
"Then you must hand over the bright silver gun and the bag full of stones."
"And the captains under my command will carry twenty kilograms of iron shackles for you."
"Only in this way can you enter the city."
When Zhang Qing heard these words, he was completely stunned.
Although before that, he had already guessed that the next request made by Mr. Liu would be extremely harsh.
But what he didn't expect was that when Master Liu treated them, he was almost no different from a group of prisoners.
But now, one very realistic thing facing Zhang Qing is that if they don't do this, they will have no chance to enter the city.
