"Haha, welcome Brother Song Wan. I am Liu Cheng." Suddenly, outside the hall. At this moment, Liu Cheng, who was wearing a luxurious white robe, walked in and said with a smile.
Previously, when Wang Lun had come to ask him about Song Wan's participation, he had smiled slightly. It had been three months, and there was finally another Liangshan hero who had come to join. Although the other party did not have much ability, this was not bad. He could at least do some chores.
When he came over just now, he happened to hear that Song Wan was from the foot of the mountain. His eyes immediately lit up and a plan appeared in his mind. Therefore, he was much more enthusiastic towards Song Wan now.
"I, Song Wan, pay my respects to Your Majesty." When they saw Liu Cheng enter, they saw his imposing appearance and his majestic figure. At this moment, Song Wan's face was filled with excitement. His eyes lit up as he thought, As expected of a celestial being. I heard that he's a god from heaven. It's true. I came to the right place this time.
It turned out that the few versions that Liangshan had publicized for Liu Cheng outside, although there was a hint of confusion, were all about the appearance of a celestial being, the son of a god, and the reincarnation of a true dragon. It was as exaggerated as it could be. This made people outside, like those scholars and officials, naturally snort disdainfully. They sneered disdainfully, He didn't know what to say.
In short, no one believed this. They all thought that this was just a rumor and no one took it to heart. As a result, Liangshan's reputation grew, but it still did not attract the attention of the government.
However, if someone saw Liu Cheng's true body with their own eyes, these legends would be verified one by one on him. After Liu Cheng awakened his dragon spirit, the dragon might on his body increased by the day, and the aura on his body gave people the most realistic feeling.
There was nothing wrong with saying that he was the true dragon and son of heaven.
"Alright, alright. Brother Song Wan, please rise.”At this moment, Liu Cheng walked over and gently helped Song Wan up with a smile on his face.
Instantly, Song Wan's face was filled with shock. He was extremely shocked by Liu Cheng's strength. He didn't expect Liu Cheng to pull him up. He couldn't even resist and stood up involuntarily. Although he had only practiced some superficial martial arts, he was as powerless as a baby in Liu Cheng's hands.
This made him even more respectful and respectful. He said with a serious expression,"I don't dare to call myself the king's brother. In the future, I'm willing to be a small soldier under the king, forever loyal to the king.”
"Haha, don't say that. There's no king here. You can call me lord from now on.”Liu Cheng smiled and sat down on the main seat.
"Song Wan greets my lord." Song Wan immediately knelt down with an excited expression.
"Alright, Brother Song, please take a seat." Nodding, Liu Cheng smiled with a face as moist as jade.
This time, the way they addressed each other as brothers was just polite or intimate. If Song Wan had a word, it would be better to address him as brother, but unfortunately, he didn't.
It was because Liu Cheng's status was too high, even though the saying that he was the son of the Red Emperor was fictional. However, he was really the crown prince of the vast and burly man. Therefore, it was indeed not suitable for him to do as the locals did. It was indeed not suitable for him to call some people brothers.
Therefore, ever since he took over Liangshan Lake, there was only the monarch and his subjects here. There was no brotherhood between brothers.
Moreover, in the original novel, the so-called brotherhood was basically a joke in the end. Among the 108 heroes, how many could be called heroes?
Even if there were, they would all die in the end, and they would all die a horrible death. Therefore, if one wanted to achieve great things, there had to be rules. This was not the underworld. This was a rebellion. What brotherhood? Get lost.

The night was as dark as ink, and the silver moon was like a hook.
When it was dark, other than leaving a hundred men behind for Wang Lun to guard the village and protect his nest, Liu Cheng was wearing a black cloak, hiding his appearance and aura. Then, he led his personal guards and Du Qian's 200 soldiers down the mountain with Song Wan as the guide.
During the day, Liu Cheng had said,"Since Brother Song Wan has come up the mountain to join me, this shows that he trusts me." We are brothers who eat from the same nest. Therefore, today, my brother was forced to have a home and could not return. He could only go up the mountain and fall into the grass. Then, if I, as the lord, do not show a little, wouldn't that chill my brother's heart?”
"Thus, I plan to mobilize all the troops of Liangshan tonight and go down the mountain to seek justice for you, Brother Song Wan. I want the world to know that other than the laws of the world, the heroes of Liangshan will also enforce justice on behalf of the heavens. I want to let those evil gentry and dog officials know that there is still someone in the world who can rule them.”At that time, Liu Cheng's words were bold and impassioned, causing Song Wan and the others to be so excited that tears flowed down their faces. Without a second word, they knelt down and swore to be Liu Cheng's slaves forever.
Actually, how could Liu Cheng be so kind? In the end, this was just the emperor's trick. Firstly, in the name of seeking justice for Song Wan, cutting off Song Wan's path of retreat. At the same time, it would make Liang Shan's reputation more resounding in the martial world, attracting more heroes to join.
Secondly, with Song Wan as a guide, it would be easy to see who was good and who was bad in the surrounding villages. When the time came to beat up the local tyrants, divide the land, buy the hearts of the people, and recruit soldiers, it would be easier to trust Song Wan. And Liu Cheng could also harvest a large amount of food and money.
Since ancient times, wasn't rebellion a process like this? They fought a batch, then pulled another batch. In the end, the army was like a snowball, rolling bigger and bigger until it swept over the world and settled the country.
To put it bluntly, conquering the world was a process of redistributing power and interests. Those old interest groups were the targets that the new forces wanted to defeat. Then, Liu Cheng did not rely on the gentry groups to rebel, and he was so poor that he could not eat. Naturally, he could only borrow food from those gentry groups.
They had money, food, and women. Therefore, they could only look for them. If they looked for the commoners, they would only starve to death faster.
Under the hazy night sky, on the west bank of the lake, ten small boats formed a fleet that stretched for ten miles. At this moment, after traveling for more than two hours, they finally reached the shore. After which, a black figure could be seen on the boat. He led a group of people and quickly flew down. Each of them was as swift as flying, and their figures stood firmly on the land.
Following that, the army of a few hundred people marched forward with light footsteps and calm expressions under the lead of a pitch-black figure.
Although it was the first time for some people to encounter such a large-scale business down the mountain, they could not help but feel a little uneasy and nervous. However, when they saw a pitch-black figure in front of them, Liu Cheng, who was completely hidden in a cloak, their faces were filled with fanaticism. Their eyes were filled with worship, and the last trace of uneasiness in their hearts disappeared.
Destiny.
They shouted in their hearts.
That figure was the person they were loyal to, the god in their hearts.
