Chapter 456

"Let Fang La's envoy come in."

Following the end of Zhan Zhao's words, a very burly young man walked in from outside.

It can be said that the eyes of the envoy sent by Fang La this time were full of wildness, giving people the feeling that this young man was not a human, but a wild beast.

Perhaps Fang La sent this person here just to give Liang Shan a show of force.

However, Fang La's thoughts were destined not to succeed on Liang Shan.

After all, among those who could be forced onto Liang Shan, which one was a good person?

Looking at the burly man full of wildness sent by Fang La, Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows, and then stared at this envoy of Fang La without any emotion and said:

"I don't know what Fang La sent you here to tell our Liang Shan."

"Now both our factions are clashing with the Northern Song, and there is no time to waste!"

"If Fang La has anything for you to convey, just say it directly."

Seeing Zhan Zhao actually being so straightforward, the envoy sent by Fang La was also slightly surprised.

However, he was originally a rough person, and seeing that there was no need to waste more words, he was naturally very happy.

Subsequently, the envoy sent by Fang La to Liang Shan directly stated the purpose of this trip.

"Our leader hopes that our Fang La and your Liang Shan can form an alliance."

"Advance south together!"

"After capturing the Northern Song later, our leader is willing to share the land of the Northern Song equally with all the brothers of Liang Shan!"

After hearing the words of the envoy sent by Fang La, Zhan Zhao felt slightly surprised.

He never thought that Fang La would actually send someone to form an alliance with Liang Shan.

However, in front of the envoy, Zhan Zhao did not directly agree or reject the news of the alliance from Fang La, but let the envoy sent by Fang La rest in Qingzhou first.

"This matter is of great importance."

"We need to consider it before giving you a reply."

"Now the envoy can rest in our Qingzhou territory first; after our Liang Shan has an accurate answer, we can reply to you!"

After hearing Zhan Zhao's words, the envoy sent by Fang La did not show any courtesy and walked toward the outside.

He knew that the alliance between the forces of Fang La and Liang Shan was not a small matter; if Liang Shan directly agreed to their alliance, that would be the strange thing.

After watching Fang La's envoy leave.

Zhan Zhao's brows furrowed tightly again.

"What do you say, should our Liang Shan form an alliance with Fang La?"

Zhan Zhao looked at Lu Zhishen, Ouyang Chun, and the Golden Gong responsible for Liang Shan on the side.

In fact, Zhan Zhao's heart was very conflicted now.

Because forming an alliance with Fang La would indeed have some benefits.

Now their Liang Shan's forces were very strong, but if it were only them, fighting against the Northern Song would inevitably cause great casualties to their Liang Shan.

After all, they were currently engaged in war, and no one could guarantee how many casualties their own soldiers would have on the battlefield.

But if they joined forces with the people on Fang La's side, it would reduce their own casualties.

After all, if the two factions attacked together, the pressure on the Northern Song side would be even greater.

But the people on Fang La's side were not easy to deal with either; if Liang Shan really formed an alliance with Fang La's side in good faith, they might be schemed to death by the people on Fang La's side without even knowing it.

Now that Fang La sent someone to form an alliance with Liang Shan, Zhan Zhao still could not guess what exactly was behind it.

Hearing Zhan Zhao's question, Lu Zhishen and Ouyang Chun also furrowed their brows tightly.

They also did not know whether they should accept the alliance.

After all, the matter of forming an alliance with Fang La had both advantages and disadvantages, which indeed made them quite conflicted.

The Golden Gong on the side saw the appearance of everyone furrowing their brows at this moment and could not help but laugh.

Subsequently, he looked at Zhan Zhao, Lu Zhishen, and Ouyang Chun and said lightly:

"Liang Shan can go ahead and form an alliance with Fang La; you don't need to fear anything!"

After hearing the Golden Gong's words, Zhan Zhao, Lu Zhishen, and Ouyang Chun were all quite surprised, because they did not understand why this mysterious person who had always been helping Liang Shan was so sure that this alliance of Fang La had no malicious intentions toward Liang Shan.

So Zhan Zhao, Lu Zhishen, and Ouyang Chun cast questioning gazes at the Golden Gong.

Seeing the very confused expressions of the three, the Golden Gong responsible for Liang Shan sent by the Night Watchmen said slowly:

"We also have our people in Fang La's place."

"The matter of the alliance between the two factions of Fang La and Liang Shan this time was actually orchestrated by us."

Looking at the Golden Gong who was speaking, Zhan Zhao, Lu Zhishen, and Ouyang Chun all revealed very shocked expressions.

They did not know that the Golden Gong came from the organization of the Night Watchmen.

Their Liang Shan only knew that this mysterious person who had always been by their side came from a very powerful organization.

Their Liang Shan being able to become as powerful as it was now step by step, eating away at the land of the Northern Song, was all pushed by this mysterious person in front of them and the forces behind him.

If it weren't for the help of their mysterious forces, their Liang Shan might have been flattened by the Northern Song army long ago.

Although they knew that the forces behind this mysterious person in front of them should be very powerful, Zhan Zhao and the others still did not expect that it would be powerful to this extent.

Not only could they secretly support their Liang Shan, but they also secretly supported Fang La.

If one thought carefully, in fact, the entire Northern Song's current precarious situation was exactly caused by the forces behind this person in front of them.

And since they could do this to the Northern Song, was it not also pushed by the forces behind this mysterious person for the other empires that were experiencing war?!

Thinking of this, Zhan Zhao did not dare to continue thinking deeply.

Zhan Zhao looked at the Golden Gong in front of him with a very serious expression, and then asked:

"What exactly is the force behind you?"

"Why do you have such powerful ability, even being able to influence the survival of a country?"

Seeing Zhan Zhao's interrogation, the Golden Gong still did not become serious, but smiled lightly and said very easily:

"These things, when the time comes in the future, you will naturally know."

After seeing the Golden Gong's answer, Zhan Zhao was very dissatisfied and then said in a slightly threatening tone:

"Then aren't you afraid that as long as you don't say the forces behind you, I won't follow your plan and form an alliance with Fang La."

"Let all your hard work be destroyed in one day?"

Hearing Zhan Zhao's words, the Golden Gong smiled somewhat playfully and then continued:

"Do you think that you not forming an alliance will have any impact on us?"

"Have you forgotten why your Liang Shan started an uprising?"

"Have you forgotten why you killed Song Jiang to take the position back then?"

"Zhan Zhao, your Liang Shan wants to attack the Northern Song, not for us, and even less for you, but for the common people living on this land of the Northern Song!"

"Have you forgotten how difficult the lives of the common people in the Northern Song are?"

"Wasn't your original intention in leading Liang Shan to launch a war against the Northern Song to let the common people live a good life?"

"If you give up the alliance with Fang La because you are angry with me in your heart, leading to the death of Liang Shan's soldiers in the war, leading to the common people continuing to live in a miserable environment."

"Then go ahead."

After finishing, the Golden Gong stopped caring about what Zhan Zhao thought and walked straight out of the camp.

After hearing the Golden Gong's words, Zhan Zhao did not actually say anything more; indeed, the reason he wanted to defeat the Northern Song was to let the common people live a better life.

Since he could finally achieve this goal, why should he care what the forces behind this mysterious person wanted to do? As long as the common people could have a good life in the end, that was it.

Just as Zhan Zhao figured it out, he suddenly saw that the Famous Sword Ranking had changed.

Zhan Zhao looked up at the Divine Dragon Sword on the list, with some envy in his eyes, and then he looked at the Juque Sword he had always carried.

Zhan Zhao's Juque Sword was not the famous Juque Sword of the Great Qin's Nongjia.

The Juque Sword in Zhan Zhao's hand was one that a sword smith who admired the sword-casting master Ou Yezi very much had made.

By chance, this sword smith once saw the Juque Sword forged by Ou Yezi, and after returning, he painstakingly forged a sword and also named this sword the Juque Sword.

He wanted to see how much difference there was between the Juque Sword he forged and Ou Yezi's Juque Sword.

"If only my Juque Sword could also appear on the Famous Sword Ranking."

"At that time, I could also obtain Heavenly Dao rewards, increase my own strength, and be able to protect more people."

Zhan Zhao muttered while looking at the Famous Sword Ranking in the sky.
