Chapter 91: Holding Ten Thousands with One
Adding a new life skill is dispensable to Yang Chang, and it is impossible for him to perform as a street performer.

Compared to the practicality of being a chef, hunter, farmer and horseman, sleight of hand can bring people surprise and joy. It can be regarded as a play skill to amuse Hu Sanniang, but one needs to find an excuse to learn it.

Yang Chang met Dai Zong and Li Kui head-on and learned that they were going to Jizhou to look for someone.

Finally, someone mentioned Gongsun Sheng to Song Jiang, so Yang would not interfere in other people's affairs.

When they said goodbye, Li Kui suddenly waved his fist at him. "When I invite Mr. Yiqing back, I will also give Wang Aihu a good look, so that he won't slander us for no reason."

"okay."

Yang Chang thought to himself, it is true that he slandered you, but I am the one who cut off his roots. I don’t know how powerful Gongsun Sheng’s magic power is. He won’t blame me, right?

Thinking of this, Yang Chang was both looking forward to and worried about Gongsun Sheng coming down the mountain.

Gao Lian was injured by Yang Lin's crossbow, and his return to the city for recuperation gave Song Jiang a chance to catch his breath.

Yang Changze followed Zhu Tong to set up a small camp to guard the central army and prevent the Gaotang government troops from raiding the camp again. Apart from taking care of his injured horse, he practiced spear and stick fighting with Zhu Tong every day. The days soon came to late September.

After Gao Lian recovered from his injury, he led his troops to attack, but he saw seven small camps protecting the central army, like seven stars surrounding the moon. Because he was still frightened by the robbery, he sent people to challenge the enemy outside the camp every day.

Song Jiang was guilty and did not dare to fight, so he ordered all the camps to hold their ground. However, Gao Lian suspected that Liangshan was cheating, so after a few days of confrontation, he led the main force back to the city.

In early October, Gongsun Sheng returned.

Song Jiang and Wu Yong led a group of leaders to the outside of the camp gate in Longzhong to welcome him, and then held a banquet to welcome him, which was a great honor.

Yang Chang looked at Gongsun Sheng again and again, and always felt that he did not look like a Taoist priest. However, Li Kui spoke in person at the welcoming banquet, praising Master Luo for his profound magical powers. After hearing this, all the leaders became confident of victory.

The next day, Song Jiang led his troops to attack and fought with Gao Lian at the foot of the city.

Gao Lian used the yellow sand technique to drive away the beasts again, but Gongsun Sheng broke it with golden light, and the original tigers, leopards and other beasts were all cut out of white paper.

The two sides fought a magic battle, and Yang Chang, who was watching, was amazed. He thought to himself that he knew it was a trick, but he could only see through it one by one, while Gongsun Sheng was able to break it with one move.

Great!

Seeing that Gao Lian's magic failed, Song Jiang decisively led his troops to attack.

The Liangshan troops rushed forward and killed the enemies, and finally won the battle with pride. Yang used the excuse that his horse was injured and openly followed behind to pick up the corpses.

He had been told to pick up equipment before coming, so his frequent ups and downs did not arouse any suspicion. However, the weapons and experience points dropped by the government troops killed outside the city were basically lost.

The next day, Gao Lian defended the city, and Song Jiang divided his troops to besiege and attack the city, and Yang Chang did not gain any benefits.

At night, Wu Yong set up an ambush to target Gao Lian. Yang Chang followed Zhu Tong and hid outside the stronghold, where they witnessed a magic battle that was like a fireworks show.

Gao Lian used a magic trick to summon up a dark evil wind, and coordinated with the Flying Magic Gourd to spit fire, as if a savage beast was about to swallow up the stronghold. However, Gongsun Sheng was more skilled, and he summoned thunder to roar from the clear sky, breaking Gao Zhifu's magic in an instant.

After a commotion and bloodbath, the 'gold master' Yang Chang returned to the village to happily pick up the corpses.

Yang Chang picked up countless experience points of sleight of hand, and estimated that all three hundred flying soldiers were lost, but he did not pick up the body of the big boss Gao Lian. After asking, he found out that the guy actually escaped back to the city.

It doesn’t matter, good things are never too late.

After the battle, all the troops returned to the camp to rest. Zhu Tong settled his men before he found time to ask Yang Chang.

"Sanlang, I see you've been busy collecting these days. Have you found any weapons or armor you like?"

"Alas." Yang sighed, "Maybe I'm just unlucky. The weapons left on the battlefield are not as good as the ones given by Master Lin, not to mention the armor."

"Don't be discouraged. Picking up corpses directly has this disadvantage. If you want them to fit you, you have to customize them. There should be a chance after we break into the city. You can try to pick them up again. If it doesn't work, go back to the mountain and find someone to make them directly. There are blacksmiths to join us anyway." Zhu Tong was reluctant to mention Tang Long's name when he made suggestions because it was Li Kui who brought him back. And Yang Chang would not admit it even if he met a suitable one in order to justify picking up corpses.

I don't even have time to pick up corpses and win prizes, so how can I care about weapons and armor? Besides, ordinary soldiers don't have good ones.

Seeing that his magic was suppressed, Gao Lian had no choice but to ask soldiers from other states to come to his aid overnight. The next day he dispatched troops to break through the siege and deliver the letter.

Upon hearing the news, Wu Yong took advantage of the situation and ordered Dai Zong to return to Liangshan to mobilize troops to disguise as reinforcements. A few days later, Gao Lian fell into the trap and was lured out of the city.

Gao Lian suffered heavy losses in the hasty battle. Looking back, he saw that the city had been captured by Liangshan, so he had to lead the remaining troops to a secluded path in the mountains.

However, there were still ambushes arranged by Wu Yong at both ends of the path, with Sun Li and Zhu Tong's troops leading one in front and one behind.

Unable to move forward or backward, Gao Lian abandoned his horse and fled up the mountain, but the Liangshan soldiers were relentless in pursuit.

Wu Yong had figured out his escape route, so there was no way he would let the tiger go back to the mountains and let him get away.

Yang Chang also acted out of character today and volunteered to follow Zhu Tong in an ambush, all for the big boss's reward.

Of course, Yang Chang also found an excuse. He had his eyes on Gao Lian's golden armor.

Gao Lian was seen abandoning his horse and walking, looking for a path on the hillside.

Upon seeing this, Yang Chang decisively abandoned his horse and went after them. He had learned the ability to cross mountains through hunting, and with his [Centipede Step] it was as if he were walking on flat ground, so he soon got ahead of the pursuers.

Gao Lian could not climb fast in his armor, so he had to take it off as he walked to reduce the weight. Soon his hair was disheveled and he looked miserable.

"Thieves, please leave."

"Come and die!"

"Gao Lian, die!"

The shouting behind him was getting closer and closer. Gao Lian suddenly turned around and saw Yang Chang a few meters away. He was shocked and hurriedly made hand gestures and chanted incantations in panic.

"rise!"

"Fuck you!"

Yang Chang was only one step away from capturing the thief, but Gao Lian unexpectedly summoned a black cloud into the sky.

In an instant, it flew up to a height of several feet on the cloud and quickly drifted towards the top of the mountain.

Is this guy still a mortal? He can even fly in the clouds, I'm so envious
Yang Chang watched the reward slip away, thinking that perhaps he was not destined to have powerful magic. Otherwise, he would not have done such a stupid thing as plotting against Gongsun Sheng and picking up his corpse at Liangshan.

When he turned around and was about to pick up the golden armor that Gao Lian had dropped, he suddenly saw Gongsun Sheng coming down the hillside, raising his sword and performing magic on his horse.

"disease!"

"No"

Hearing the voice, Yang Chang turned his head and looked back. Gao Lian, who was riding on the clouds on the top of the mountain, disappeared, but appeared on the west side a few feet away and fell down the slope.

How is this going?

Before Yang Chang could figure it out, Lei Heng, who was next to the landing point, leaped up, raised his broadsword and cut Gao Lian in two. The prompt to pick up the corpse immediately flashed.

Spell skills!
Lei Heng cut off Gao Lian's head, and when he stood up, he saw Yang Chang rushing over, so he joked: "I have already beheaded Gao Lian, I can't give you his head, but his armor is left on the slope."

"I don't want his head. I'm just surprised he ended up here."

Yang Chang responded while squatting down to touch the corpse, and the BOSS drop he had been looking forward to finally came.
