Zhao Mingcheng and Li Qingzhao, a pair of hard-luck mandarin ducks, were originally rescued by people sent by Feng Hua to Daming Mansion.
Wu Yong knew that the two were talented and famous, and rescuing them might play an unexpected role among literati and some ministers in the court. .
"Take good care of him and his wife, and provide all their daily necessities.
They must not suffer any grievances in life.
In addition, send a team of soldiers to protect the safety of the two of them, lest Cai Jing sends people to sneak into Daming Mansion to assassinate them.
This couple is ill-fated.
Since they can escape with their lives, they should not get involved too much.
As far as I know, Zhao Mingcheng loves gold and stone inscriptions.
Madam Zhao is also a famous talented woman.
She is more knowledgeable in this area than me.
Please help them if you can.
As for other things, you don’t have to worry about it.”
Lin Chong knew what Wu Yong meant, but Lin Chong didn't want to take advantage of Li Qingzhao.
Li Qingzhao in history was a poor woman and a respectable woman.
It would be better for such a woman to stay away from these intrigues.
Although Wu Yong didn't understand why Lin Chong did this, he believed that Lin Chong must know his purpose of taking in the couple, and he believed that Lin Chong must have a deeper meaning in doing this, so he nodded in agreement.
Wu Yong felt that he could not understand Lin Chong more and more now.
Instead, he seemed to be transparent in Lin Chong's eyes.
It was precisely because of this feeling that Wu Yong became more and more afraid of Lin Chong.
Although the expression on Wu Yong's face never changed, his heart was no longer as calm as before.
That night, after the brothers had rested, they all came to the hall.
The banquet was already prepared, including chicken, duck, fish, and fresh fruits and vegetables.
The brothers in Liangshan hadn't seen each other for a long time, and it happened to be a great victory and triumph, so it was quite lively to get together.
Li Kui has a loud voice.
He holds the wine jar and drinks with whomever he wants.
He keeps shouting about how happy he is.
The new brothers who joined the group were a little restrained at first, but after a few glasses of wine, their true colors were revealed one by one.
They all started drinking together, and the atmosphere was very lively.
Almost most of the brothers were drunk that night, but Lin Chong was the one who took the most care, and was finally helped back by the soldiers.
Lin Chong didn't wake up until three o'clock in the morning the next day.
When he opened his eyes, he still felt a splitting headache.
"These brats" Lin Chong rubbed his aching head and slowly sat up.
I called my soldiers to fetch water to wash up, and asked the kitchen to make some light porridge to warm my stomach.
Only then did I feel better.
When Lin Chong came to the hall, many brothers had already arrived, and everyone was sitting there chatting.
Lin Chong came in and all the brothers stood up to say hello.
After Lin Chong said hello to everyone, he said, "You guys, I drank too much from you last night.
My head still hurts now."
"Hahaha, what does it matter if Brother Lin drinks so much wine?"
Si Xingfang said with a laugh.
"That's right, all the brothers are well aware of Brother Lin's drinking capacity," Zou Yuan agreed loudly.
Lin Chong looked helpless, stretched out his hand and nodded at the two of them.
"Hahaha" seeing Lin Chong's expression, the brothers all laughed.
The brothers arrived one after another, and the last one was naturally the sleepy-eyed and unkempt Li Kui.
Last night, Lin Chong was helped back by the soldiers, and Li Kui was carried back.

"Now that Tian Hu has been pacified, although we have won successive battles this year, the soldiers are already tired.
In addition, there are many newly recruited soldiers this time.
The recruits lack training and do not fully understand our various systems in Liangshan.
Therefore, in the recent period, we will focus on defense, train soldiers diligently, and improve the combat effectiveness and morale of all officers and soldiers."
"That's how it should be," Gongsun Sheng said first.
"Brother is right."
Wu Yong also nodded in agreement.
The other brothers didn't care about strategic matters like this.
Anyway, they agreed as long as Lin Chong said it.
Lin Chong continued, "Daming Mansion originally had an army of 120,000, but this time I brought back another 300,000, bringing the total strength to more than 400,000.
It is definitely not possible for all of these people to stay in Daming Mansion.
As for where to allocate them, all the brothers will have to pool their wisdom and express their own opinions."
After Lin Chong finished speaking, he looked at everyone.
Wu Yong thought for a while and said, "If you want to mobilize troops, you must first determine the direction of the next move, so that you can adjust accordingly."
"I don't know what scholars have to say."
Lin Chong looked at Wu Yong with a smile.
Wu Yong stood up and took two steps, organized his words in his mind, and then said, "The one that can pose a threat to us now is the frontal court.
Although we signed an armistice agreement with the imperial court, this agreement was just for both sides to get what they needed at that time.
Sooner or later, the agreement will be torn up and the war will begin again.
From the current point of view, the imperial court is still our biggest opponent.
The second threat is the Liao Kingdom behind it.
Although the Liao Kingdom has not been as strong as before in recent years, we cooperated with the imperial court to defeat their army of hundreds of thousands last time.
This hatred cannot be solved.
As our strength grows, the Liao Kingdom will probably pay attention to us, and it is very likely that they will send troops in advance to prevent us from continuing to develop.
However, Liao soldiers are good at riding in field battles and are not good at siege warfare.
Another potential threat is Wang Qing from Huaixi, but his brother has already been wary of him, so Wang Qing can be ruled out for the time being.
Then the only ones left are the imperial court and the Liao Kingdom.
As for how to choose, it is up to my brother to make the decision."
Wu Yong explained from the perspective of potential threats.
Although he did not give Lin Chong the final answer, the meaning was very obvious.
However, if he wanted to taste Wu Yong's words carefully, Lin Chong also heard that Wu Yong actually suggested sending troops to areas bordering the imperial court.
Lin Chong thought for a moment, but without saying anything, he asked, "What other suggestions do the other brothers have?"
Wu Li hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Judging from the current situation, the threat from the imperial court is greater than that from the Liao Kingdom."
A simple sentence expressed Wu Li's attitude.
"The Liao Kingdom must be on guard," Gongsun Sheng said and closed his eyes again.
As several people expressed their opinions one after another, other brothers also expressed their opinions.
Some said that we should guard against the imperial court, some said that we should guard against the Liao Kingdom, and there were noisy and noisy support for either one.
Listening to the different opinions of the brothers, Lin Chong also fell into deep thought.
Indeed, it now seems that the imperial court is the biggest threat to Liangshan, and it is also the one that borders its own territory the most.
However, the imperial court's current treasury is empty, and its troops are still strong enough to attack but are seriously insufficient.
The only one that can take advantage is the Western Army.
However, he has deployed enough troops on the western front, not to mention defense and offense.
"Where should the imperial court and the Liao Kingdom deploy their army?"
Lin Chong thought over and over again.
The brothers who were making a lot of noise saw Lin Chong sitting there thinking, and slowly stopped talking so as not to affect Lin Chong.

After thinking for a while, Lin Chong suddenly asked, "What are the chances if we start a full-scale war with the imperial court now?"
The brothers below all became energetic when they heard Lin Chong's words, and then looked at Lin Chong with bright eyes
