When Zhang Qingqing cleared his mind, large beads of sweat immediately flowed down his cheeks.
After a long time, I finally came back to my senses from the endless panic.
It is not that he is afraid of fighting the leaders on Shuibo Liang Mountain. Facts have proved that he is fully capable and capable of defeating those leaders one by one.
The reason why Zhang Qing is so worried is that he has an inherent impression of those grassroots bandits in his mind.
For a long time, the impression given to the Song Dynasty court by those grassroots bandits was that they were extremely vicious and committed all kinds of evil.
Murder, arson, and looting of gold, silver, and jewelry are all basic operations.
What's more, it is not unethical to dig out the human heart and liver, cut up a living person, cook them and eat them.
Although the leaders on Shuibo Liang Mountain treated me kindly and politely.
But this does not mean that those grassroots strongmen will be so kind to the people in Dongchang Mansion.
If internal strife breaks out because of my discord with Mr. Liu, and eventually the people in the city are brutally murdered by Shuibo Liangshan, then I will already be a big sinner!
Thinking of this, Zhang Qing suddenly became nervous.
And when he looked at Mr. Liu again, the contempt before was gone in his eyes, replaced by a touch of deep worry.
"Master Liu, I finally figured it out. I want to understand why the gang of thieves in Liangshan did what they did!"
Mr. Liu looked at Zhang Qing with a puzzled look on his face, and his tone was full of doubts.
"Why?"
Zhang Qing grinned, and his eyes contained wisps of light.
"It's nothing more than trying to use this trick to make the two of us fight among ourselves."
"And after the internal strife between the two of us, Dongchang Mansion may also change hands!"
Mr. Liu stroked the beard on his chin, and after pondering for a long time...
"Perhaps what you say makes sense, but I can't believe it."
"Unless Zhang Huqi can..."
When Mr. Liu's treacherous expression was reflected in Zhang Qing's eyes, he couldn't help but make him feel very unhappy.
But in order to properly resolve the crisis before him, Zhang Qing could only put aside his former aloofness and continued in as calm a tone as possible:
"What can be done?"
"Lord Liu, you might as well say it bluntly. Whatever I, Zhang Qing, can do, I will try my best to cooperate."
Mr. Liu stroked his beard and smiled, with a cunning look on his face.
"Zhang Huqi can definitely do it, because Zhang Huqi has already done it before."
"But at this moment, Zhang Huqi is not sure whether he is willing to do it again for Dongchang Mansion and the tens of thousands of people in it."
The eccentric Mr. Liu in front of him really made Zhang Qing very unhappy.
But even so, what can Zhang Qing do?
Is it possible that he can step forward and knock the opponent down with a big flying kick, and then say, "Speak quickly if you have something to say or fart quickly?"
Zhang Qing sighed softly.
"As long as we can protect Dongchang Mansion, I, Zhang Qing, will try anything no matter what."
Mr. Liu nodded with great pride, and then took the letter from Zhang Qing's hand.
While tearing it apart, he looked at Zhang Qing with a half-smile.
"This is what a city-defending general should say."
"Later, I will write back a letter to the water puddle Liangshan, scolding those water puddle grass bandits."
"This move can not only express our position, but also suppress their morale."
"When that group of puddle bandits comes to attack our Dongchang Mansion, you, Zhang Huqi, will go out to fight."
"I know very well about Zhang Huqi's abilities, not to mention that on that day, Zhang Huqi relied on his flying stone skills to defeat several of the opponent's leaders in a row."
"In the end, if Zhang Huqi had not underestimated the enemy and was captured by mistake, it is estimated that Zhang Huqi would have made great contributions to our Dongchang Mansion that time."
"So this time, Zhang Huqi fights against the grass bandit leaders on Shuibo Liang Mountain. I don't have many requirements for you. As long as you capture one and kill each one!"
"In this case, I don't believe that the captured bandit leaders can still escape!"
After Zhang Qing heard these words, he immediately didn't know what to say.
It is true that since ancient times, officials and bandits have been at odds with each other.
But the leader of the group of Shuibo Liangshan had a certain degree of kindness to Zhang Qing.
After he was caught that day, instead of being tortured to extract a confession from him or even beheaded on the spot, he was treated like a distinguished guest and treated with great respect.
Although there are some small thoughts of the Liangshan leader in this, it undoubtedly allowed Zhang Qing to receive a dignified treatment with no worries about food and clothing.
What if when he met the leaders of Shuibo Liangshan again, he not only did not remember the kindness of the past to survive, but suddenly went on a killing spree.
Zhang Qing felt really uneasy in his heart.
But if he categorically rejects Mr. Liu's request, he will not be able to wash away the charge of collaborating with the enemy and treason.
For a moment, he didn't know how to get better.
After thinking about it for a long time, I finally made up my mind.
"Master Liu, how about this?"
"Someday, when our army fights with those grass bandits in Shuibo Liangshan, I will only capture but not kill them. Is that okay?"
"Keeping the lives of those grass bandits will make it easier for you to collect rewards from the court, right?"
In Zhang Qing's opinion, this move was undoubtedly a very appropriate approach.
Because of this, I not only eliminated Mr. Liu's suspicion, but also repaid Shuibo Liangshan for not killing him.
But when those words reached Mr. Liu's ears, Mr. Liu was very dissatisfied with Zhang Qing's rhetoric.
Not only that, he also sneered repeatedly when expressing his views.
"Zhang Huqi, the reason why I ordered you to do this is to give you a chance to prove your innocence."
"If Zhang Huqi showed mercy to those grass bandits on that battlefield, how could that show your determination to be irreconcilable with those puddle bandits?"
"So, in the next battle, whether it is on Zhang Huqi's flying rocks or on his bright silver spear, we must drink all the blood of the enemy leader!"
"This is the bottom line for Zhang Huqi to face the enemy in the next battle, and it cannot be changed!"
Zhang Qing knew as soon as the other party spoke so resolutely that there would probably be no chance for relaxation in this matter.
In this case, there is no need for him to continue to persist.
Because in that case, not only would it not be able to reverse the final direction of the matter, but it would also make Mr. Liu more suspicious of himself.
Zhang Qing nodded helplessly.
"If that's the case, then Zhang Qing just obeys his orders."
At this time, seeing that Zhang Qing, who was usually arrogant and arrogant, was finally willing to bow his head to him, Master Liu felt extremely happy.
