Do you have the strength to force me to join the Liangshan bandits?

Chapter 155 Qiu Qiongying: Lu Junyi, I've wasted my time recognizing you as my elder brother! [1st Update]

"Hi!"

Qiu Qiongying stomped her little boots in anger:

He usually seems pretty smart, so why is he acting so stupid tonight?
If we just let that silver-plated spearhead go, what if he leads the government troops back to fight us?
You should know that Silver-Looks-like Spearhead has 20,000 government troops under his command. Do you think we can hold them off if they come back?

"Hey, what's with the hey?"

Cai Fu glared at her:
"From now on, women should refrain from interrupting when men are speaking!"

"you--"

Qiu Qiongying's face turned bright red, and she looked furious.
I'm speaking up for you, and you're still trying to impose rules on me?

good good!
If I say another word from now on, I'll take your surname!

With a flick of her braid, Qiu Qiongying turned and walked away, going to the silver-maned white horse and stroking its mane handful by handful!
Sparks flew from the horse's mane as it was stroked!
Then a pair of large, green eyes, like those of a hungry wolf, stared intently at Lu Junyi.
You'd better say something for me!

If all else fails, you can at least try to smooth things over!

Honestly, I wasted my time considering you my older brother!
What does Lu Junyi know about romantic relationships?

If he understood this, he would be the best in the world and wouldn't need to resort to hat tricks.

Guan Sheng didn't understand this either; he had devoted his entire life to cosplaying Guan Yu.

Others include Yang Xiong, Zhu Tong, Suo Chao, Liu Tang, Deng Fei, Shi Qian...

They're all straight men.

No, Yang Xiong should sit at the same table as Lu Junyi.

So Qiu Qiongying was isolated and helpless, and could only sulk in her own heart, thinking to herself, "Wait till the government troops come and kill us!"
Even if we die together, I'll still make a sarcastic remark at you!
However, to her disappointment, Zhang Qing returned alone on horseback after only about half an hour.

"elder brother!"

Zhang Qing dismounted, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Cai Fu, and said with shame:
"I only managed to recruit a little over three thousand people!"

"The rest of them fled back to their respective states!"

Quite a lot!
Cai Fu was already very satisfied with this number.

Last time, Guan Sheng had 15,000 troops, but even with Guan Sheng's prestige, only about 2,000 surrendered in the end. What more could you ask for?

These two groups of surrendered soldiers together numbered more than 5,000, accounting for about one-tenth of the total forces in Liangshan Marsh.

Zhang Qing then said, "I ordered them to wait in the military camp, while Gong Wang and Ding Desun stayed behind to appease the troops."

"I was afraid my elder brother would be getting impatient, so I came to report first!"

"Thanks for your hard work, brother!"

Cai Fu hugged Zhang Qing. To be honest, Zhang Qing's character was far superior to Dong Ping's.

"Alright, let's go back to Liangshan Marsh first, and we'll bring the surrendered soldiers up the mountain early tomorrow morning."

Turning around, Cai Fu and Qiu Qiongying made eye contact.

Qiu Qiongying flicked her braid again.

"Ah."

Cai Fu smiled and didn't take it seriously; she was just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl.

Hmph, you little rascal are pretty good!

Although Qiu Qiongying deliberately turned her head away from him, she was actually completely impressed.

I'm increasingly convinced that I didn't misjudge Cai Fu; he truly is a man of integrity and upright character!
As for Zhang Qing, he has already become part of their play...

……

When Cai Fu and his group returned to the Beishan Hotel, Zhang Qing saw the innkeeper, Zhu Fu, greeting Cai Fu with a beaming smile. Only then did he realize that this hotel was actually Liangshanbo's spy.

I even ate at this hotel...

Fortunately, I hadn't been drinking and had several dozen personal guards with me, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable...

Although it was almost midnight, it didn't stop Cai Fu, the second chieftain, from taking the boat.

Zhu Fu quickly arranged several small boats to take Cai Fu and his group to Jinshatan Beach.

A small boat can carry at most three or four people, and normally Lu Junyi and Guan Sheng would sit with Cai Fu.

But for some reason, Deng Fei insisted on sharing a boat with Cai Fu tonight.

"The three of us are all physically robust!"

Lu Junyi frowned and urged Deng Fei, "What are you doing squeezing in here?"

Although Guan Sheng didn't speak, he stroked his beard with his large hand and squinted at Deng Fei with his phoenix eyes:
What do you want to do? Normally, Deng Fei would have gone to another ship, but tonight he could only smile and try to get on board.

Cai Fu guessed what was going on, so he said, "Let's squeeze in."

Deng Fei squeezed onto the boat, but didn't find a good opportunity. Cai Fu, Lu Junyi, and Guan Sheng kept talking.

"Big brother, last time it was me, this time it's Zhang Qing..."

Guan Sheng stroked his long beard and reminded Cai Fu:
"The imperial court will certainly not let this go!"
"I wonder which famous general will attack Liangshan next time..."

Cai Fu hesitated for two seconds, and Deng Fei finally seized the opportunity and quickly interjected:

"Brother, I want to follow you!"

Guan Sheng: (_)
Cai Fu asked with a smile, "Brother Deng Fei, do you know what the consequences will be if you follow me?"

"I know!"

Deng Fei had already thought it through:
"Brother, aren't you competing with Song Jiang for the position of leader of Liangshan?"
"I've thought it through. There's no point in following Song Jiang. I want to follow you!"

Good guy!
You're so straightforward!
Cai Fu patted Deng Fei on the shoulder:

"You're wrong. It's not that I'm competing with Song Jiang for the position of leader of Liangshan."

"It's because Song Jiang wants to be a dog of the imperial court, and I don't want to!"

Deng Fei suddenly realized:

"Brother, I don't want to be a dog for the imperial court either!"
"Brother Pei Xuan and Brother Meng Kang don't want to be dogs for the imperial court either!"

"We'll follow you, we'll do whatever you say!"

Cai Fu was taken aback: "You can represent Pei Xuan and Meng Kang?"

"I can!"

Deng Fei said without hesitation:

"Brother Meng Kang listens to me. I saved Brother Pei Xuan. The three of us are sworn brothers!"

“I’ll go back and tell them, and they’ll definitely all be willing to follow my brother!”

"it is good!"

Cai Fu grasped Deng Fei's hands:

"Since you've followed me, from now on, if I have one steamed bun, you'll definitely have half a steamed bun too!"

Deng Fei felt he had finally found his people, and he grabbed Cai Fu's hands and shook them vigorously:
"Thank you, brother!"

……

Loyalty Hall.

Song Jiang sat in the main seat, frowning and hesitant, while the scene below was in complete chaos...

"Brother, I'll go challenge him tomorrow!"

Hua Rong went back and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt:

Doesn't this mean "Little Li Guang" lost to "Featherless Arrow"?
The problem is that Hua Rong thinks he can win, and that he shouldn't have chased after Zhang Qing when he feigned defeat and fled!
Take this opportunity to draw your bow and shoot that son of a bitch!

After reviewing the game, Hua Rong regretted not performing well, so he decided to volunteer to fight.

"no!"

Li Kui argued his case logically:
"Brother, do you still remember the plan that Tie Niu mentioned?"

"That was what Tie Niu said first!"
"If we're going to fight tomorrow, it has to be Tie Niu who goes first!"

"Brother, I'll go!"

Lin Chong got a fleshy bump on his forehead from being hit by a stone, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became:
He could have defeated Zhang Qing simply by doing this and that, but he suffered such a huge loss!

When Li Kui and Hua Rong were fighting, Lin Chong couldn't help but volunteer to fight as well.
"I will surely capture 'Featherless Arrow' alive tomorrow!"

Hua Rong: "I'm going!"

Lin Chong: "I'll go, I'll go!"

Li Kui: "I'll go, I'll go, I'll go—"

Seeing his brothers so enthusiastic and eager to participate late at night, Song Jiang was very pleased:

It seems we will definitely be able to capture Zhang Qing alive and inflict a great defeat on the government troops tomorrow!
Last time, the guy surnamed Cai helped Guan Sheng win over, and he really made a name for himself!

This time, since the guy surnamed Cai isn't at Liangshan Marsh, it's finally my turn, Little Black Fatty, to shine!
