Chapter 189: The Incomplete One Hundred and Eight Generals

"Report to the Zhang Zhaizhu, the manager of Li Family Manor, 'Ghost Face' Du Xing,

and the Third Young Lady of Hu Family Manor, 'One-Zhang Qing' Hu Sanniang, ask to see you."

In the evening, Zhang Jie was handling the affairs of the Zhu Family Manor, sending people to reinforce the city defense,

transporting the spoils back to Liang Shan, etc., when the messenger soldier stationed at the city gate came to report.

"They finally came; I thought they would wait and see for a few more days!"

Zhang Jie smiled and put the documents he had finished reading on the desk.

Although this Li Family Manor, Hu Family Manor, and Zhu Family Manor also had many grievances,

such as the Li Family Manor, under the leadership of the Manor Master "Soaring Eagle" Li Ying

and the management of the general manager "Ghost Face" Du Xing, was very prosperous,

with the momentum to catch up with and surpass the Zhu Family Manor, and the Zhu Family Manor secretly suppressed the Li Family Manor;

the Hu Family Manor, the weakest of the three, swayed between the Li and Zhu families,

playing the balance policy of the Li and Zhu families to ensure that neither family would dominate and then swallow the Hu Family Manor in one bite;

the Zhu Family Manor kept making small moves to maintain its position as the boss;

although the three families were just three mountain manors, the stories among them could simply be written into an abridged, youth version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms";

but externally, the three families were of one mind and had always been consistent in dealing with the outside world;

so when attacking the Zhu Family Manor, Zhang Jie did not relax his vigilance against the Li and

Hu families, and specially sent elite scouts to monitor the two families.

According to the scouts, when the Li and Hu families received the report that the Zhu Family Manor was being attacked,

they hurriedly raised troops, intending to come for a pincer attack from inside and outside,

and defeat this bold bandit force that dared to plot against their three major mountain manors.

As a result, before the two manors arrived halfway, they received a report

that the Zhu Family Manor had already been captured by the Liang Shan bandits.

In fear, the troops of the two manors immediately retreated to their respective manors,

looking like turtles shrinking inside, strictly defending.

However, looking at their close communication, it was very likely that the two families would merge to resist Liang Shan together.

After all, the Zhu Family Manor, which was stronger than them, had been destroyed by Liang Shan,

and dividing troops would only give Liang Shan a chance to break them one by one.

Manor Master Li Ying of Li Family Manor and Manor Master Hu Taigong of Hu Family Manor were not such stupid people.

And Zhang Jie was busy receiving the Zhu Family Manor, so he turned a blind eye to their behavior.

"Tell them I will meet them in the main hall."

Zhang Jie ordered.

"Yes."

The messenger soldier accepted the order and left.

Not long after, the messenger soldier led Du Xing and Hu Sanniang to the main hall of the Zhu Family Manor.

"I didn't expect that in less than half a day, this Zhu Family Manor would have changed hands!"

Du Xing looked at this main hall, which he had visited many times and where he had attended many banquets held by the Zhu family, and sighed with emotion.

The scenes of Old Master Zhu waving his arms among their three families, and the three Zhu brothers, Zhu Long, Zhu Hu,

and Zhu Biao, showing off their power and martial arts, were still vivid in his mind.

He didn't expect that in just half a day, the three Zhu brothers would die at the hands of Liang Shan,

and Old Master Zhu would be angered to death. It was really things are the same but people have changed, things are the same but people have changed!

"Sigh..."

Standing beside Du Xing, the heroic female general did not speak,

but the sorrow between her brows could not be wiped away no matter what.

"The Zhang Zhaizhu is here!"

Following a shout, Zhang Jie walked slowly into the main hall from the back door.

"Du Xing of Li Family Manor meets the Zhang Zhaizhu!"

"Hu Sanniang of Hu Family Manor pays respects to the Zhang Zhaizhu!"

Seeing the master arrive, Hu Sanniang and Du Xing bowed together.

"The two of you don't need to be overly polite; please take your seats."

Zhang Jie pointed to the chairs on both sides and smiled.

"Thank you, Zhang Zhaizhu."

After the two thanked him, they sat down only after Zhang Jie sat in the main seat.

However, the tension in their hearts still made them dare to sit only on half a buttock on the chair, looking like frightened birds.

'No wonder this Du Xing is called Ghost Face.'

Zhang Jie, who had carefully looked at Du Xing for a few times, thought to himself.

Du Xing's dress and appearance were not unusual; he wore a tea-brown shirt,

wore a "Wan" character headscarf, tied a white silk sash, and wore a pair of oil-soled boots below.

But his face was somewhat deformed and square, his skin was rough like burlap,

and he had a pair of dull dead fish eyes. He was extremely ugly, just like the evil ghosts and Rakshasas recorded in Buddhist scriptures,

which was why he got the name "Ghost Face."

However, Zhang Jie would not look down on Du Xing because of his ugly appearance:

He could be the manager second only to Manor Master Li Ying in Li Family Manor with such an unlikable appearance,

which showed that his ability was extremely strong, enough to make the people of Li Family Manor ignore his ugly appearance.

In Zhang Jie's view, he should be a low-profile, youth version of "Phoenix Fledgling" Pang Tong.

And when he turned his gaze to Hu Sanniang, Zhang Jie's eyes suddenly lit up.

I saw Hu Sanniang with misty temples and cloud-like hair, clear eyebrows, enchanting posture,

tender skin, jade-like skin, hibiscus appearance, and natural beauty.

And what attracted Zhang Jie the most was that she was not only beautiful, but also heroic in military uniform.

Unlike the gentle Pan Jinlian, Yan Poxi, and other women,

Hu Sanniang combined beauty and martial arts, with a relatively high beauty index, and was a uniform-type beauty.

'No wonder she could make that lecherous Wang Ying, the Short-Legged Tiger, unable to forget her.'

Zhang Jie sighed in his heart.

Wang Ying was lecherous by nature, once fought with Yan Shun for Liu Gao's wife,

and was called in the book "greedy for money and lecherous, setting fires and killing people, Short-Legged Tiger Wang."

And what Zhang Jie couldn't stand the most was that this Wang Ying, like Hannibal, actually ate people in a physical sense.

He robbed houses with Yan Shun and Zheng Tianshou at Qingfeng Mountain,

and once wanted to take Song Jiang's heart and liver to make a hangover soup, but bowed down after knowing his identity.

Although this reflected the greatness of Song Heizi's "Timely Rain" reputation,

Wang Ying was so skilled and so unscrupulous, which showed how many hangover soups made of human hearts and livers he had eaten before meeting Song Jiang.

"But speaking of which, Hu Sanniang is simply the beauty representative on Liang Shan!"

Zhang Jie thought of the only three female generals among the one hundred and eight generals on Liang Shan: Hu Sanniang, Gu Dasao, and Sun Erniang.

Gu Dasao had thick eyebrows and big eyes, a fat face and waist, and was rough and fierce. People in the Jianghu called her "Mother Tiger,"

which meant a mother tiger, so one could imagine her appearance and temper.

Sun Erniang had murderous aura across her eyebrows, fierce light in her eyes, a waist as thick as a pulley,

and hands and feet as strong as mulberry skin. Her overall image was fierce and oppressive,

and she was called "Mother Yaksha," and her fierceness and oppression were self-evident.

Only Hu Sanniang was white-skinned, beautiful, and had long legs, which met the aesthetic standards of modern people.

Of course, because of Zhang Jie's intervention,

"Mother Yaksha" Sun Erniang and her husband "Vegetable Garden" Zhang Qing had already perished,

and counting the time, they had already been beheaded after autumn, so the one hundred and eight generals could not be gathered.

However, Zhang Jie didn't care about this.

According to his three views, there were really not many heroes among these one hundred and eight generals.

Since that was the case, if they couldn't be gathered, they couldn't be gathered.

This was not the Dragon Ball world where you could summon a dragon and make a wish if you gathered seven dragon balls. ===== CHAPTER 190 =====

This isn't the Dragon Ball world where you can summon the Divine Dragon and make a wish just by gathering seven Dragon Balls.
