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

Chapter 176 An Daoquan: This is love! [2 Updates]

"Bala, bala, bala..."

An Daoquan recounted his experiences over this period to Li Qiaonu, with some artistic embellishment.

For example, if you hurt your kidneys, or if you hurt your kidneys and then tried the local shop owner's services and there were no side effects...

For example, there are the unspeakable stories about him and Sun Erniang and Gu Dasao after he joined Liangshan...

It wasn't until the food and wine were served, and Cai Fu and Wu Song had eaten until their mouths were greasy, that An Daoquan finally finished speaking.

Li Qiaonu's face flushed red, then turned white, then green, then black, then yellow...

"My lord, you've really suffered!"

Li Qiaonu hugged An Daoquan's neck, weeping bitterly.

"It doesn't matter, I'll do anything as long as I can be with you!"

An Daoquan held Li Qiaonu in his arms and made a grand vow!

"The same goes for me!"

Li Qiaonu nestled in An Daoquan's arms and whispered:
I envy neither kings nor officials, neither merchants nor money!

"If I could stay with you forever, I would give every inch of my black hair to the years to come!"

"As long as I'm with you, my lord, I'd be willing to beg on the streets!"

An Daoquan grinned, his face crinkling like a blooming chrysanthemum, and looked triumphantly at Cai Fu and Wu Song:
What did I say? What did I say?

This is love!
Cai Fu, Wu Song, and Shi Qian, three single men, looked at each other, speechless, and could only eat their food in silence.

"only……"

Li Qiaonu changed the subject:
“My mother treated me like her own daughter, and she was always responsible for paying the ransom.”

An Daoquan was prepared: "Isn't it just five hundred taels of gold?"

"I made a fortune after my trip to Tokyo!"

As he spoke, An Daoquan pulled out a stack of paper money from his pocket:

"It's anonymous; anyone can withdraw money from it!"

This is thanks to the fact that Gao Qiu was a corrupt official, and too many people gave him gifts, and the gifts were too extravagant.

Of course, you can't bring in boxes of gold and silver as gifts; that would be too ostentatious.

Therefore, Gao Qiu now accepts bribes in the form of paper money.

To make withdrawals convenient, we definitely can't keep it anonymous; otherwise, wouldn't it be easy to find out?

Those who gave him gifts were all petty corrupt officials. When others gave gifts to petty corrupt officials, they naturally gave them silver coins.

The petty corrupt official gave the money given to him by others to the big corrupt official Gao Qiu.

After changing hands several times, it became impossible to verify the information.

However, An Daoquan's document was attached to the official fishing permit, making it inconvenient for him to retrieve it personally.

"My lord, how could I let you spend so much money..."

Li Qiaonu pushed away An Daoquan's hand, rummaged in the bedside cabinet for a while, and pulled out a shiny jade ruyi.

He quickly stuffed it back in and continued rummaging around, pulling out a bulging brocade pouch.

Li Qiaonu opened the brocade bag and poured out a pile of loose silver. Cai Fu estimated that it was about 180 taels.

Li Qiaonu then dragged a large bag from the hidden cabinet at the foot of the bed, and brought it to An Daoquan's front, opening the bag wide.

It turned out that the inside was full of copper coins. Cai Fu estimated that there were at least thirty to fifty strings of cash.

"My lord, this is all my savings..."

Li Qiaonu gazed at An Daoquan with her large, watery eyes:
"Although it's not much, I'll share it with you!"

An Daoquan was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes, and he hugged Li Qiaonu tightly.

"Qiaonu, you are so kind!"
"After we redeem you, we'll leave together!"

"Once we're on Liangshan, no one can separate us!"

Li Qiaonu nodded with tears in her eyes.

An Daoquan released her and said decisively:

"There's no time to lose!"
"Qiaonu, I'll redeem you right now, and we'll leave Jiankang Prefecture immediately!"

"My lord, look how anxious you are!"

Li Qiaonu burst into laughter through her tears:
"It's getting late. You need to go with Madam Li to redeem yourself, and I still need to pack my belongings. I also need to say goodbye to my parents; we'll need to buy a carriage for such a long journey to Shandong..."

"The food and drinks are already laid out here, so let's eat and drink our fill first and then take our time."

"My lord, why don't you stay here tonight? We can take a carriage out of the city early tomorrow morning, wouldn't that be better?"

An Daoquan thought about it and agreed: "Qiaonu is indeed the most thoughtful."

So An Daoquan settled down and enjoyed a hearty meal with Cai Fu, Wu Song, and the others.

After finishing the meal, An Daoquan called Li's mother over and handed her a stack of paper money. How could Li's mother refuse?

An Daoquan held Li Qiaonu in his arms, grinning from ear to ear. It was a wonder he was still thinking of Cai Fu.

"Brother, I'll rest here tonight."

“If it’s inconvenient for you, brother, you can wait for me at Liu Lang’s shop.”

"I will meet up with you first thing tomorrow morning."

Are you trying to make things inconvenient for me? I'm too embarrassed to point it out!

Cai Fu knew that nothing he said would work when he saw An Daoquan's bewitched look, so he simply asked Li Qiaonu to teach him a lesson.

"Alright, we're leaving."

Cai Fu called to Wu Song, glanced at Shi Qian, said goodbye to An Daoquan, and left the city before dawn.

After leaving Li Qiaonu's house, Wu Song sneered:
"Brother, I don't think Li Qiaonu is a good woman!"
"I'm afraid Doctor An will suffer a great loss because of her!"

"Experience makes perfect."

Cai Fu put his arm around Wu Song's shoulder and laughed:

"That's how they all grow up."

Honestly, aren't you the same, Sixth Brother?

Wu Song felt inexplicably embarrassed and quickly changed the subject:
"Brother, we can't just stand by and watch, can we?"

Cai Fu chuckled: "Of course!"

……

Cai Fu and Wu Song left in the afternoon, and An Daoquan lay on Li Qiaonu's bed, feeling a bit nostalgic.

"My lord, you should rest for a while."

Li Qiaonu said gently and considerately:
"I'll pack my valuables."

An Daoquan said eagerly, "I'll help you!"

"Oh, my lord, you should just lie down and rest for a while!"
"This isn't a man's job, let us women do it!"

Li Qiaonu pushed An Daoquan onto the bed and began packing his valuables.

An Daoquan lay there refusing to close his eyes, staring at her with lustful eyes, tracing her curves with his gaze.

After tidying up for a while, Li Qiaonu said:
"My lord, I'm going to say goodbye to my parents. You stay here and don't move."

An Daoquan grabbed her hand:

"Qiaonu, I'll go with you!"

"Oh, my lord, our good days are far from over!"

Li Qiaonu playfully pushed his hand away:
"Let me have a few private words with my parents!"

Although An Daoquan was reluctant to part with Li Qiaonu, he had no choice but to let go since Li Qiaonu had said so.

Li Qiaonu gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and said tenderly:

"My dear, wait for me to come back!"

An Daoquan immediately felt bathed in sweetness and nodded happily:

"Go back quickly!"

Li Qiaonu left, glancing back every few steps. An Daoquan, lying on Li Qiaonu's bed, felt it smelled wonderful.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a few pieces of clothing piled up in the corner of the bed. He was momentarily blinded by lust and began to examine and play with them.

Who knew he would find a large, bitter tea seed.

An Daoquan's expression changed; this wasn't his size!

Whose bitter tea is it anyway?
Just as An Daoquan was holding the large bitter tea seed, both shocked and furious, he suddenly heard a flurry of footsteps outside the door!
