Chapter 97: Disaster (First Order Request)
After meeting Song Taigong, Hu Sanniang returned to the back mountain. When she reached a deserted place, she suddenly stopped.

She frowned and murmured, "Sir, have you noticed that Song Jiang is behaving strangely today?"

"Strange? He is full of energy and enthusiasm."

"What I meant was that he seemed to be deliberately getting close to us just now."

"Heh." Yang Chang's mouth twitched, and he sneered disdainfully, "I'm afraid you have accepted Wang Aihu's death, so you remembered us, but this belated show of goodwill is meaningless."

"Then why were you smiling at me just now?" Hu Sanniang was puzzled.

Yang Chang looked at the foggy lake and said meaningfully, "After all, he is the second in command of Liangshan. It is not good to offend him. Did you notice what I saw just now? Chao Gai can no longer suppress him."

"That can't be helped. Most people come here because of his reputation. It's Chao Gai's fault for letting the wolf into the house. The martial arts world is still more powerful than fists."

"My wife has changed a lot."

The cold wind blew Hu Sanniang's hair into disarray. Yang Chang couldn't help but tuck it behind her ears. Looking at his woman's resolute face, he thought to himself that swords on the battlefield are blind, so don't get hurt.

At a tender moment in his heart, Yang Chang remembered that there was an unused [Strength Rice] that was dropped by Luan Tingyu.

He thought that his body was restricted by the inhibitory drugs, and taking them might not bring out their full effects. Why not give it to his woman to save her life?

Yang Chang immediately took out the [Strength Rice], handed it to Hu Sanniang and said solemnly: "Madam, carry this [Strength Rice] with you. If you encounter an enemy you cannot defeat, you can eat it to instantly increase your strength. The effect can last for one or two hours."

“This rice.”

Hu Sanniang held the rice in her hand and examined it carefully. She felt that it was different from ordinary rice. Then she looked at Yang Chang with suspicion, "Sir, your strength is amazing. Did you eat this [Strength Rice]? How much do you have hidden on you?"

"Where are there more?"

Yang Chang smiled bitterly, and then explained: "I am so strong because of my childhood. This [Strength Rice] was also given by that Taoist, so I think it can't be fake."

"I see. Then I will accept it."

Seeing that Hu Sanniang believed it without a doubt, Yang Chang secretly praised himself for his good stitching.

He added the wandering Taoist priest to his original explanation to Wu Song, but one lie requires countless lies to cover it up. If he finds a treasure that he can't use in the future, how can he make up a story to Hu Sanniang?
Well, you should hurry up and make friends with Gongsun Sheng. I also want to cultivate Qi and become an immortal.

Once you practice and master the magic, all magical things will make sense.

Taking advantage of Song Jiang leading his troops down the mountain to fight, it seems that he has time to do something? Sure enough, everything is the best arrangement.

The vanguard Qin Ming stationed outside the water to wait for the enemy that day, while Song Jiang and the rest of the troops went down the mountain to join forces the next day.

The troops turned around and there was a lot of noise.

After the hustle and bustle, the mountains return to tranquility.

After sending Hu Sanniang to Yazui Beach, Yang Chang returned to the camp, changed into Taoist attire, and went up the mountain to look for Gongsun Sheng with great anticipation.

As soon as I climbed up to the pass on the back mountain, I saw Chao Gai looking out in the cold wind, his weather-frost-covered face full of worries.

"Brother Tianwang?"

"It's Brother Yang. Why are you dressed like this?"

"Haha, I haven't worn it for a long time. I just took it out today to change and wash it. I also went to visit Mr. Yiqing. You know my situation."

"It seems that you have recovered well, but it is right to ask Mr. Yiqing to confirm. Next time I lead the troops down the mountain to fight, you don't need to work so hard, my dear brother. You go quickly."

"it is good"

Yang Chang seemed to hear a hint of loneliness in Chao Gai's tone.

After walking a few steps and looking back at Chao Gai's back, he seemed like a pine tree standing out on the side of a mountain. All the bushes and thorns were far away from it, growing alone on the stone, drinking the wind and dew.

Yes, Chao Gai was just a village head before. He was okay at playing tricks on ordinary people, but how could he beat the officials who were well versed in human nature?

Song Jiang's selection of generals this time is very meaningful. Except for Lin Chong, the veteran of Liangshan, the other leaders of the cavalry and infantry are almost all his confidants or close friends. The navy, which has always been controlled by the three Ruans, is replaced by Li Jun, Zhang Heng, and Zhang Shun who guard the mountain. When Hei Sanlang completes all the arrangements, Chao Gai will only have a name left.

It was useless for Yang Chang to remind Chao Gai, as the situation was already beyond redemption. He was now only concerned with Gongsun Sheng.

The Qi Refining Realm boss who crushes mortals is the sword of Damocles hanging over everyone's head. Yang Chang can't beat him and has to join him.

Later, I arrived outside Gongsun Sheng's house and saw that the windows were open even in winter.

Peeping in through the window, he saw Gongsun Sheng sitting cross-legged on the couch in meditation. There was smoke coming out of the incense burner on the table beside the couch, and a whisk lying on the edge with its hair hanging down.

Yang Chang came with light steps and did not speak a word, but he was noticed by Gongsun Sheng.

"Who's outside?"

"Mr. Yiqing, I, Yang Chang, would like to see you."

"Oh?"

Gongsun Sheng got off the bed, as light as a nimble warrior. When he opened the door and saw Yang Chang dressed up, he immediately showed curiosity.

"Brother Yang, this is..."

“This is originally a thing of the evil way”

Yang Chang then told the story of how the pest was eliminated in Centipede Ridge.

After hearing this, Gongsun Sheng stroked his beard and muttered, "That guy bullies men and women. He is not a Taoist at all. He also tarnishes the reputation of Taoism. You brothers have done a great job."

"Sir, you are truly a man of truth."

"I see that your spirit has recovered. I wonder why you came to see me today?"

"That's right," Yang Chang said as he took out the "Yin Yang Kan Feng" and handed it to Gongsun Sheng, explaining with a smile, "This book was also left by the evil path. I tried to read it but didn't quite understand it. Xiao Rang couldn't fully explain it either, so I would like to ask you to give me some pointers."

"Yin Yang Feng Shui?"

Gongsun Sheng took it and flipped through two pages, then began to frown and shake his head, "Although this book is about the Daoist art, it is very different from what I have learned. I am afraid it can't help you."

Seeing that the "stepping stone" was ineffective, Yang Chang was not in a hurry to take back the book. He continued to smile and said, "I heard that your teacher is a great master who can solve my doubts. Why don't you keep it for now? If you have the opportunity to return to the fairy mountain in the future, you can help me ask questions."

"This"

"We are all brothers in Juyi. Please help me with this, sir. I am really interested."

"Ok."

Gongsun Sheng had to accept it because of the "brotherhood". Yang Chang thought to himself that he had to leave a hook now, otherwise how could he be related to Luo Zhenren?
After Yang Chang delivered the book, he saw that Gongsun Sheng had no further response, so he bowed and left.

When they first met, the other party was a Qi-refining cultivator, and Taishe Niu was at a disadvantage.

Yang Chang decided to gradually enhance their relationship. Being too radical would easily arouse suspicion and disgust, so he had to find a suitable opportunity to have in-depth communication.

After returning to the camp and waiting for two or three days, news came from outside the water that Song Jiang had won his first victory. The enemy general Peng Qi was captured alive by Hu Sanniang.

Peng Qi was captured and had no choice but to surrender. He went to the mountain stronghold to meet Chao Gai that day.

After Chao Gai inquired about what happened on the battlefield, he learned about Hu Sanniang's extraordinary abilities. He felt that he had not been kind enough to Yang Chang, so he held a banquet for her alone that night.

That night, the two of them drank and chatted, and then he asked him to stay overnight on the top of the mountain.

The next day, Yang Chang woke up and deliberately passed by Gongsun Sheng's door. He explained that Chao Gai had stayed overnight with him, greeted him and made himself familiar with him. He then went to visit Song Taigong, Song Qing, Xiao Rang and others. It was already noon when he returned to the camp in the back mountain.

Just as I was lying down to take a nap, a minion suddenly ran in hurriedly.

"Brother, disaster, disaster!"
