Chapter 108: The Origin Of The Blazing Flames Banner; Wutongshen Returns To The Mountain

In front of the military camp in Rocky Valley, Longzhong Mountain, the Chief of the Mountain Stronghold Wang Lun looked at Madam Bai, who stood gracefully before him, exuding charm with every movement, and laughed:

“If Madam dreams of surrendering so readily, she is truly a heroine, a wise and capable outstanding person!”

Madam Bai shook her head and laughed: “Around the Chief of the Mountain Stronghold, there are many hidden talents, and all the sisters here have excellent martial arts skills!

It truly makes me admire you immensely!

Especially Sister Jiuniang, not only is her martial arts strong, but she can also wield that yellow Blazing Flames Banner, truly worthy of your title of Fire Phoenix!

The flames you just unleashed, I fear, few in this world could withstand!

If the Chief of the Mountain Stronghold hadn’t called for a timely halt, I would have been burned to ashes by now!”

Hearing this, Yang Jiuniang couldn’t help but shake her head and laugh:

“Sister Yue’e, you flatter me!

To be honest, I, this little sister, am not proficient in Daoist Arts!

This Blazing Flames Banner was also something I and my brothers stumbled upon and bought from a market in the Western Capital in the past!

At that time, a barbarian from Western Xia was selling various items like wine vessels and silverware, and this Blazing Flames Banner was mixed among them!

I saw its unique design, so I bought it!

I never expected it to be such a treasure for starting fires!”

Madam Bai was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then shook her head and laughed:

“Sister, you don’t know, this is the Blazing Flames Banner that was used by Xiao Tianzuo and Xiao Tianyou, generals of the Liao Kingdom in the past?

With this banner, the Xiao brothers caused quite a stir among the Great Song Dynasty’s military formations!…”

As she was speaking, they suddenly heard the Female Flying Guard Chen Liqing laugh and ask:

“Since Sister Jiuniang possesses such a formidable treasure, why didn’t you use it when you and your five brothers fought against Brothers Shi Bao and Du Xue previously?”

Hearing this, Yang Jiuniang shook her head and laughed:

“Sister Liqing, you are unaware!

I, this little sister, usually enjoy martial arts the most, and my usual weapons are the Gentle Wind Blazing Flames Sword and the Red Dragon Darts, I rarely use this yellow Blazing Flames Banner!

Over time, I often forget that I have such a skill on me!

If not for Sister Yue’e and the Chief of the Mountain Stronghold Wang Lun engaging in a Daoist Arts duel today, I might not have remembered that I still have this Blazing Flames Banner!”

Having said this, the young lady looked at Wang Lun again, full of surprise:

“Rumor in the martial world says the Chief of the Mountain Stronghold possesses peerless martial arts, but I’ve never heard that you are also skilled in Daoist Arts!

Judging by the Daoist Arts you displayed today, I fear you are not inferior to Sister Yue’e!”

Without waiting for Wang Lun to reply, Madam Bai laughed and said:

“Sister Jiuniang, please don’t praise me too highly!

In the few duels just now, any discerning person could see that the Chief of the Mountain Stronghold was more than a step ahead of me in every way!

In my humble opinion, the Chief of the Mountain Stronghold’s Daoist Arts are probably not inferior to those of the reclusive experts!

To be honest, I am extremely curious!

The Chief of the Mountain Stronghold appears so young, how did you cultivate your Daoist Arts to be so formidable!”

Wang Lun laughed: “If I said it was obtained through a fortunate coincidence, would Madam believe me?”

Madam Bai laughed: “If anyone else said that, I would certainly find it hard to believe!

But if it’s the Chief of the Mountain Stronghold who says it, then I believe it!”

Having spoken, the Madam then sternly addressed Wen Tongshen Jing Chenbao and Wu Tongshen Lü Chengneng, who had remained silent behind her:

“Why are you two still hesitating?

This Madam has already agreed to follow the Chief of the Mountain Stronghold Wang Lun, and you two are still dithering?

Believe it or not, if the Chief of the Mountain Stronghold gets angry, those present alone could overturn our Red Peach Mountain!”

Upon hearing this, Lü Chengneng couldn’t help but cup his hands and say with a bitter smile:

“We brothers have always admired Madam the most and have always followed Madam’s lead!

By rights, since Madam has agreed to surrender to Brother Wang Lun, we brothers should not hesitate in the slightest!

But Madam also knows that on Red Peach Mountain, we still have our brothers Lie Tongshen Ye Conglong, Xiong Tongshen Zhang Yinggao, and Li Tongshen Su Zhuohu!

The five of us are sworn brothers who have kowtowed together!

If my second brother and I surrender to Brother Wang Lun, when Liangshan and Huai River West engage in conflict in the future, won’t we brothers be forced to fight each other and kill each other?”

Although Wen Tongshen Jing Chenbao did not speak, he nodded slightly, clearly thinking the same as Lü Chengneng!

Just as Lü Chengneng finished speaking, Powderless Beauty Tong Saihua suddenly grinned and laughed:

“Haha! What’s so difficult about that?

You two can go up to Liangshan and join first, and then invite your three brothers to come along, wouldn’t that solve it?”

Hearing this, Jing Chenbao finally spoke:

“Miss Saihua, you are unaware!

My eldest brother Lie Tongshen Ye Conglong is very friendly with Great General Lei Yingchun, and it might not be easy to persuade him to join Liangshan!…”

As he was speaking, Tong Saihua glared:

“If that’s the case, then as Sister Bai Yue’e said, we’ll go and overturn Red Peach Mountain now!

At that time, I’ll see if your brothers prioritize their friendship with him and Lei Yingchun, or their sworn brotherhood with you and Lü Chengneng!”

Upon hearing this, Jing Chenbao’s face became even more sorrowful!

At this moment, the Chief of the Mountain Stronghold Wang Lun laughed: “Alright!

I have a proposal here, why don’t you two generals listen!

First, I will not only not force you to join Liangshan, but I will also let you two return!

The condition is that you must first marry Miss Saihua!

Because I promised her that I would arrange a good match for the three of you!…”

As soon as he said this, Lü Chengneng hurriedly shouted:

“Forget about being a matchmaker! Please state the second option, Chief of the Mountain Stronghold!”

Wang Lun smiled slightly and said: “Second, as Miss Saihua suggested, you two will return and persuade your sworn brothers to all join Liangshan!

If you do this, I will no longer act as a matchmaker for you two and Miss Saihua!

As for whether you can achieve a marriage in the future, it will all depend on your own fate!…”

Before he finished speaking, Lü Chengneng and Jing Chenbao both shouted:

“We choose the second option!”

“Haha! Good! Then you two quickly pack up and return to Red Peach Mountain!” Wang Lun laughed heartily:

“My business here is concluded, and I am preparing to return to Liangshan Marsh!”

Hearing this, Jing Chenbao’s eyes lit up, then he shook his head slightly and laughed:

“Brother Wang Lun, are you intentionally testing us brothers?

Aren’t you afraid that after we return, we will never bring this up again?”

Wang Lun laughed: “As long as you two are not afraid of me attacking your stronghold and turning it upside down, you can certainly try!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Tong Saihua called out:

“This Grandma has another condition!

That is, after you return, besides persuading Ye Conglong, Zhang Yinggao, and Su Zhuohu to join Liangshan, you must also bring that group of Round Shield Rolling Knife Hands!

Otherwise, this Grandma will marry the two of you right now!”

Hearing this, Jing Chenbao couldn’t help but say with a bitter smile:

“What about us brothers is it that Miss Saihua fancies? We can change it if it’s something we’ve done wrong!”

Lü Chengneng was even more impatient and said:

“Miss, please don’t be like this, we promise you!”

As they were speaking, Wang Lun laughed and said: “Alright! Since you two generals have chosen the second option, then quickly pack up and return to Red Peach Mountain!

We will depart for Liangshan once our four contingents are assembled!

At that time, we will reunite at the marsh…”
