Song Jiang, leading the remnants of the Liangshan faction, finally arrived in Wuzhou on a dark and windy night after a long and arduous journey. The majestic Taiyuan Mansion seemed to be quietly waiting for their arrival in the night.

As the outline of the distant city gradually became clear, Song Jiang, dressed in rags and looking exhausted, felt a mix of emotions.

Outside Wuzhou City, Zhu Wen and Jiang Xiaobai had already led their troops to wait. The two stood side by side, with the Yellow Turban elite soldiers lined up in neat rows behind them, their momentum as imposing as a rainbow.

Zhu Wen, clad in iron armor, exuded both majesty and refinement, while Jiang Xiaobai, dressed in fine clothes, wore a smile. The two stood side by side, like two insurmountable mountains.

Upon seeing this, Song Jiang quickly straightened his clothes and, with a mixture of trepidation and awe, slowly stepped forward.

"Oh, Brother Gongming, it's been so long! You're still as dashing as ever!"

Zhu Wen spoke first, his face beaming, but his tone held a subtle hint of amusement.

He knew Song Jiang well; although he had fallen on hard times, his former reputation still remained, and his current humility was merely a result of being forced by circumstances.

"General Zhu, you flatter me. Song Jiang is nothing more than a bandit now, how dare I speak of my prowess?"

Song Jiang immediately bowed and greeted them with utmost humility, a hint of bitterness flashing in his eyes.

In this chaotic world, strength determines everything. He was no longer the Liangshan leader who held a place in the Yellow Turban Army and commanded the wind and rain, but a desperate outlaw who needed to rely on others to survive.

"Brother Song, you are too modest. Who doesn't know the names of the Liangshan heroes among the Yellow Turban rebels?"

"Today, with Brother Song joining us, it is a great fortune for Wuzhou, and for all of us!"

Jiang Xiaobai smiled slightly and interjected.

"Brother Jiang, you flatter me. Song Jiang is willing to serve Wuzhou, and will go through fire and water for General Zhu and Mr. Jiang without hesitation!"

Upon hearing this, Song Jiang felt a warmth in his heart, but also became more wary.

He knew that behind this seemingly warm welcome lay exploitation and scheming.

Even so, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue acting.

"Good! With Brother Gongming's words, we can rest assured."

"Come, come, let's go into town! We'll host a banquet tonight to welcome Brother Gongming and wash away the dust of his journey!"

Zhu Wen laughed heartily and patted Song Jiang's shoulder affectionately, as if he were patting an old friend on the back.

The group entered the city in a grand procession and headed straight for the largest restaurant in the city.

The restaurant was brightly lit and bustling with activity. A grand banquet had been prepared, awaiting the arrival of distinguished guests.

During the banquet, Song Jiang was seated to Zhu Wen's right, a position second only to the host, demonstrating Zhu Wen's high regard for him.

However, Song Jiang dared not relax in the slightest, for he knew very well that this position was not easy to hold!

"Brother Song, come, let me toast you!"

Zhu Wen raised his cup and shouted, the wine in the cup swirling, just like the ambition and scheming in his eyes.

"General Zhu, it should be me who respects you. Thank you for taking us in and giving us homeless dogs a chance to settle down and make a living."

Song Jiang quickly stood up, raised his cup with both hands, and responded respectfully.

After saying that, he downed the strong liquor in his glass in one gulp without even flinching.

"Brother Song, you flatter me. We are brothers in troubled times, and it is only right that we help each other."

"From now on, the Liangshan faction will be part of the Yellow Turban Army of Wuzhou. We will advance and retreat together, and share glory and prosperity!"

Seeing this, Zhu Wen smiled with satisfaction. He knew that Song Jiang was showing his loyalty to him and demonstrating his obedience to everyone present.

Upon hearing this, a flicker of excitement crossed Song Jiang's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

He understood that although Zhu Wen's words sounded nice, the real test was yet to come.

"General Zhu, although our Liangshan lineage is in dire straits, every one of us is a hero. As long as you give the order, we will go through fire and water without hesitation."

"We only hope that General Zhu can give us a chance to prove our worth."

Therefore, Song Jiang, who had long been at his wit's end, quickly expressed his support.

"Brother Gongming, rest assured, I, Zhu Wen, am not the kind of person who would abandon someone after using them. As long as you do not betray Wuzhou, we will naturally not treat you unfairly."

"Furthermore, I also plan to designate a piece of land in Wuzhou as a camp for the Liangshan faction, so that you will have your own territory and your own troops. What do you say?"

Zhu Wen nodded, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes.

In his mind, Song Jiang was a man who could bend and stretch, and was a useful talent.

"Thank you for your kindness, General Zhu. We will swear to serve you to the death, and we will go through fire and water for Wuzhou without hesitation!"

Upon hearing this, Song Jiang was overjoyed, but he pretended to be calm and quickly stood up to bow.

The banquet continued, and the atmosphere grew increasingly lively.

During the banquet, Song Jiang frequently offered toasts, speaking earnestly and humbling himself to the point of humility.

He understood that only in this way could he win Zhu Wen's trust and secure a place for himself and the Liangshan faction in this chaotic world.

Zhu Wen and Jiang Xiaobai also witnessed Song Jiang's humility and obedience at the banquet, which lessened their guard.

They knew that Song Jiang was no ordinary man, and even had great ambitions, but so what?

After several rounds of drinks and several dishes, the banquet gradually drew to a close.

"Ding! Song Jiang's skill 'Gathering of Heroes' activated!"

Gathering of Heroes: People's hearts are won over, and all wisdom and strategy are lost. This skill is the most important skill of the Liangshan gathering of heroes and is unique to Song Jiang, the Timely Rain.

Effect 1: Language can bewitch the mind. Even the wisest person can make a mistake. Song Jiang persuades the other party with kind words, reducing the other party's intelligence by 2 points, making it easier for Song Jiang to convince them.

Note: This effect is halved for those with higher intelligence than Song Jiang.

Effect 2: Tears fall from the heart. Song Jiang's true feelings are revealed, and his tears increase his charm by 2 points, making the other party feel pity and more willing to accept his words.

Note: This effect is doubled when the user is in an unfavorable situation.

Effect 3: Turning Adversity into Opportunity. In adversity, Song Jiang can boost the morale of the entire army, increase the army's combat strength by 1 point, and increase his own charisma by an additional 2 points.

Note: This effect activates automatically when your side is at a disadvantage.

Effect 4: Words of Gathering Righteousness. When Song Jiang gives orders or suggestions to his subordinates, they are more likely to believe him. This reduces the subordinate's intelligence by 1 point and increases Song Jiang's own persuasiveness, making them more likely to accept his suggestions or orders. Note: This effect is more effective for those with high loyalty.

Effect 5: Combining loyalty and affection, Song Jiang uses words of loyalty and affection to make the other party feel his sincerity and care, reducing the other party's intelligence by 2 points and increasing his own charm by 4 points, making the other party willing to go through fire and water for him.

Currently, Song Jiang's skill "Gathering Righteousness" reduces Zhu Wen's Intelligence value by 2 points upon activation.

"General Zhu, although I, Song Jiang, am a rough man and a bandit, I know how to judge people."

"You are not only a master of martial arts, but also a man of great talent in commanding troops. You are a true hero of our time. We, the brothers of Liangshan, are willing to follow your lead and fight against the powerful enemy together."

Emboldened by alcohol, Song Jiang began to express his admiration for Zhu Wen.
