"Newcomer! Come in!" Yan Qing, the Prodigal, called out to the newly joined handyman.
The handyman entered the room with an apologetic smile.
Lu Junyi was sitting boldly on a rattan chair, looking suspiciously at the servant before him.
"Qin Ming said you... have something to tell me?"
Qin Hui was trembling all over with fear, but he still managed to speak his piece.
"R-replying to Lord Lu, this humble one was, was... entrusted by the reigning Emperor to sneak into Liangshan and deliver a message!" Qin Hui was as shameless as Fang Zhiyi had anticipated; he simply elevated his backer's status by a whole rank.
"You? Hahaha, just you?" Lu Junyi burst into laughter. "Do you think I'm that easily fooled? Men, drag him out and chop him to pieces!"
"Wait!" Qin Hui suddenly jumped up. "Everything I said is true! I, I have a verbal message!"
"A verbal message?" Lu Junyi raised his hand to stop Yan Qing.
"It's a message specially brought from your good friend!"
The Imperial City Department's arrangements were very thorough. They had directly sought out Lu Junyi's good friend in the army, written a letter of persuasion using a tone and address only the two of them knew, and then forced Qin Hui to memorize it.
Although Qin Hui was terrified at this moment, thinking of his future prospects, he had to bite the bullet and recite it all.
Lu Junyi fell silent.
The eyes of the few people in the room remained fixed on Qin Hui. As soon as Lu Junyi gave the order, they would kill this servant on the spot.
It must be known that in the current Liangshan, the man named Shao Jiang was at the height of his power. If the words coming out of this servant's mouth reached his ears, it would probably lead to another bloodbath.
"Besides this, who else did the Emperor ask you to find?" Lu Junyi asked slowly.
Qin Hui immediately knew his little life was spared and instantly grew excited: "And... the instructor of the 800,000 Imperial Guards, Lin Chong!"
As soon as his voice fell, a bright spear smashed onto his shoulder, bringing a wave of pain.
Qin Hui turned his head abruptly and saw a face filled with murderous intent: "Dog official, what do you want with me, Lin?"
Shao Jiang calculated the time. According to the current situation, the Northern Song Dynasty was beset by internal strife and foreign threats, making it the perfect time for his uprising... but Lu Junyi's group was still somewhat troublesome.
But he couldn't delay any longer. He immediately decided that whether they complied or not, he would issue orders to them. If they disobeyed, they couldn't blame him for turning ruthless.
However, to his pleasant surprise, regarding his order to reorganize the army, Lu Junyi and the others, who had always remained neutral, complied, albeit somewhat reluctantly.
"I'll just squeeze out their value and then slowly dispose of them..." Thinking of the great enterprise he was about to achieve, Shao Jiang couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
He was originally just an ordinary worker. After complaining a bit while reading a novel, he was pulled into this world. Relying on his familiarity with the Water Margin, he was confident he could trample everyone under his feet.
Shao Jiang was full of gratitude for the second life given to him by the system, especially after becoming the master of this mountain stronghold. He was already enjoying the conveniences of power: he could directly kill anyone he found unpleasant, and snatch any beautiful girl that caught his eye... He just had to do it behind the backs of Wu Song, Lu Zhishen, and the others. After all, he still needed to maintain his image.
He didn't even dare to imagine how free and easy his life would be after he proclaimed himself Emperor in the future.
"Send down the order! After the army is reorganized, we march on Jizhou Prefecture!"
"Are you sure you haven't got the wrong place? I mean, this transmigrator is indeed sent by that thing..." Fang Zhiyi toyed with the withered grass in his hand, which gradually turned to powder.
"Nonsense, I can smell it with my nose!" Little Hei said. "But the risk is a bit high... I know you very well. You want to take out the transmigrator it sent to weaken its power... This logic is correct, but we're playing with fire right now."
"Are you scared?" Fang Zhiyi curled his lip.
"Bullshit! When have I ever been scared?" Little Hei immediately became indignant.
"Then shut up." Fang Zhiyi threw away the residue in his hand. "It should have thought of the consequences when it laid hands on Yue Anyao."
A subordinate ran in from outside the door: "My Lord! The Liangshan bandit army is rushing toward Jizhou!"
Fang Zhiyi stood up, his gaze looking in that direction: "Let's hope that piece of trash puts up a good fight..."
This was his first time coming into contact with a world that bordered on real history. Fang Zhiyi was actually a bit uncertain, but he was betting that the transmigrator was also uncertain.
"You're just letting a She Kecun defend against Liangshan... I can't help but feel you're being a bit overconfident." Little Hei said.
Fang Zhiyi shook his head: "I used to write novels. Whenever I lacked inspiration, I would look up various materials. I just happen to have some impression of this She Kecun."
Little Hei tilted its head.
"Let me tell you something you don't know... The character Song Jiang actually existed in history, and he was also a bandit leader. I let She Kecun come here because of his life story... This man captured Fang La alive, and on his way back from the campaign, he conveniently captured Song Jiang as well."
Little Hei looked astonished: "Him?"
Fang Zhiyi nodded: "He was a fierce guy. Later, while defending a city, he was captured by Jin soldiers, then broke out of prison, escaped, and rejoined the Song army. It's a pity... he died of illness."
Little Hei nodded. It had seen many melodramatic plots, but it didn't know much about the history Fang Zhiyi knew.
"I'm certain that the transmigrator has only read the novel and hasn't read the history books." Fang Zhiyi paused. "Besides, She Kecun is just insurance."
Just as he thought, Shao Jiang personally led the massive army to the border. When he saw an unfamiliar dark-faced general standing on the city gate, he didn't care at all. His heart was full of excitement about conquering the world.
It made sense; anyone would be overwhelmed with emotion at this moment. Meanwhile, She Kecun on the city gate had already made perfect preparations. He reinforced the city defenses, forged siege-defense equipment, and stockpiled supplies. He didn't even let Fang Zhiyi worry about a single thing throughout the entire process.
When the bandit army had just begun to march, the reconnaissance squad sent out by She Kecun captured the information, continuously relaying messages back to Jizhou Prefecture. It could be said that Shao Jiang's entire journey was broadcast live.
But at the end of the day, Shao Jiang was just an ordinary person. Even with the system's help and his deep familiarity with the Water Margin, when the warfare scenes from paper were projected into reality, he had no idea how to command. He simply threw the command authority to the leaders who had previously led armies, while he comfortably sat there acting as a mascot.
Seeing Fang Zhiyi strolling up the city tower, She Kecun, who was directing the soldiers, frowned: "My Lord, please return inside the city. Swords and arrows have no eyes..."
Fang Zhiyi waved his hand to stop him. Instead, he leaned on the city wall and looked outward. He squinted for a long time until his gaze finally locked onto a single person.
"That is our target."
Little Hei held its breath in deep concentration.
"I suppose we've officially crossed paths this time..." Fang Zhiyi took a few steps back.
Amidst the roaring battle cries, the Liangshan forces began their siege. She Kecun immediately stepped in front of Fang Zhiyi: "Archers, ready!"
Unexpectedly, Fang Zhiyi suddenly spoke up to interrupt: "Wait!"

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
