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

Chapter 177 Lu Zhishen: I'm really not Deng Yuanjue! [3rd update, please subscribe]

broken!

An Daoquan stared blankly at the large cup of bitter tea for two seconds, then suddenly realized what was happening:
This is a huge incident!
"boom--"

The door was kicked open from the outside, and a group of thugs barged in like wolves!

The head constable drew his sword and shouted:
"An Daoquan, the rebel from Liangshan, you've been caught!"

"I am not An Daoquan—"

An Daoquan instinctively denied it, but it was to no avail.

He is a renowned local doctor; who doesn't know him?
A group of officers pinned him to the bed and tied him up tightly!
"Stop wasting your breath, Doctor An!"

The captain smugly sheathed his sword, but after several attempts, he couldn't get it in, so he had to hold it, scabbard and all.

"My mother even saw you for a medical checkup at the beginning of the year!"

Having no other option, An Daoquan had to change his approach to defend himself:

"Misunderstanding! I'm not a rebel from Liangshan, I'm a doctor!"

The head constable sneered: "What misunderstanding?"
"Your lover has reported you!"

"You came with Cai Fu and Wu Song, the bandit leaders of Liangshan!"
"Tell me, where are they?"

"what?"

An Daoquan was struck dumb as if by lightning.

Although he had already guessed it, it was still too exciting to be proven true!
After all, just now, Li Qiaonu had kissed him and said tenderly, "My dear, wait for me to come back."

It turns out that Li Qiaonu didn't go out to say goodbye to her parents, but to report him to the yamen!
No wonder they told him to stay right here and not move!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the head constable pretended to draw his knife and held it to An Daoquan's neck:

"Say or not?"

An Daoquan looked utterly dejected: "What did you say?"

The constable angrily asked, "Where are Cai Fu and Wu Song, the leaders of Liangshan Marsh?"

"I have no idea!"

Having been betrayed in his relationship with Li Qiaonu, An Daoquan was completely enraged and roared:

"Kill me!"

"Hmph! I hope you'll still have this guts even when you're in jail!"

The captain sheathed his sword and glared at him:
"take away!"

A group of constables pushed and shoved An Daoquan out, and a large crowd gathered on the street to watch.

"Squeak, squeak—"

The window seemed to be blown open by the wind, and Shi Qian's figure appeared through the window:

"That miracle doctor certainly has guts!"

……

"Get out of the way!"

On the main street, the head constable walked ahead with a fierce expression, clearing the way, but the road was completely blocked by the people.

"Isn't this Doctor An?"

"What did Doctor An do wrong?"

"You say they're colluding with the Liangshan rebels, didn't you see the arrest warrant posted on the city gate?"

"Nonsense! I can't read!"

"Dr. An has been practicing medicine and saving lives in Jiankang Prefecture for so many years. He is a good person, not a traitor!"

"Yes, Chief, you haven't arrested the wrong person, have you?"

"Captain, your mother was seriously ill at the beginning of the year and almost died. It was Doctor An who saved her!"

"There are gods watching over us, Captain! You can't repay Doctor An like this!"

"roll--"

Enraged, the constable drew his sword and pointed it in a circle:
"Don't get in my way of arresting the traitors!"

"Otherwise, I'll arrest you all!"

"Pfft!"

Just then, a burly man stepped out from the crowd and stabbed him in the ribs from the side!
Then the big man calmly drew his sword, brushed past him, and stabbed another constable in the stomach!
At the same time, another pilgrim stepped out from the crowd, wielding a pair of monk's knives that sent a group of constables fleeing in terror!
An Daoquan, whose face had already turned ashen, was both surprised and delighted to see the burly man charging towards him.
"elder brother?"

"Thud!" The burly man cleaved the constable holding him in two with a single stroke of his blade, grabbing An Daoquan in one hand and wielding the knife in the other, roaring:
"Cai Fu, the 'King of the Northern Blades,' is here! Anyone who stands in my way shall die!"

"Stop!!"

The streets were in complete chaos!

Not everyone actually knows his name, but those who do have an obligation to spread the word:

"Run! They're rebels from Liangshan!"

"He's the Northern Sword King! He's the one who caused trouble in Tokyo twice and Daming Prefecture three times, and even Liang Zhongshu was defeated by him!"

"This guy kills without blinking an eye!"

The streets immediately descended into chaos, and Wu Song couldn't help but reveal his own secret:

"Wu Song the Pilgrim is here! Anyone who blocks my way shall die!"

However, nobody knew him, and people were still spreading rumors about him:

"I heard he killed a dragon in Hebei!"

"Li Shishi has been played by him!"

Wu Song: (_)
Cai Fu: (_)
I'd accept a dragon if it were me, but no, I've never even seen a single hair of Li Shishi!

How dare they try to smear me like this?

Cai Fu was also speechless, but now was not the time to explain. He shoved An Daoquan onto the carriage.

"Out of town!"

An Daoquan scrambled into the carriage, and when he turned around, he saw that the driver was Wang Dingliu.

"drive--"

Wang Dingliu drove the carriage through the crowd toward the city gate, with Cai Fu and Wu Song running behind him.

Firstly, Cai Fu and Wu Song were both quite fit on their feet, and secondly, there were too many people on the street, so the carriage couldn't run very fast.

He ran all the way to the city gate, where he saw a fat monk blocking the gate and fighting with the government troops!

When he wielded the 62-pound water-milled iron staff, dozens of city gate guards simply couldn't withstand it!
Especially when a city gate guard suddenly recognized him:

"It's terrible! 'Precious Light Tathagata' has broken in!"
"The rebel Fang La has reached Jiankang Prefecture!"

"You bastard..."

Lu Zhishen looked on in bewilderment as the government troops who were fighting around him scattered upon hearing the name Deng Yuanjue!

It's a case of cause and effect, really. Back then, Deng Yuanjue was mistaken for him in Tokyo and almost got captured by government troops.

Today, Lu Zhishen arrived in Jiankang Prefecture and was mistaken for Deng Yuanjue, which frightened away the government troops...

That’s not right!

Lu Zhishen blinked his bull eyes:
Wouldn't that mean I've been outdone by him?
"I am Lu Zhishen, the 'Flowery Monk'!"

Lu Zhishen was enraged and frantically chased after the government troops, shouting as he did so:

"I am truly not Deng Yuanjue!"

"I am a flower-—monk—"

The carriage had arrived at the city gate, and Cai Fu pulled Lu Zhishen along:
"Stop chasing, let's get out of the city!"

Helpless, Lu Zhishen was dragged out by Cai Fu, and he kept turning back to wave and shout to the government troops:

"Flower-Monk"

Government troops: (⊙﹏⊙)(⊙﹏⊙)(⊙﹏⊙)
I don’t care about you!

As soon as Cai Fu and Lu Zhishen charged out of the city gate, the government troops quickly closed the gate and raised the drawbridge.

On the city gate tower, hundreds of government soldiers huddled in fear, while a captain squatted on the ground, cursing in a voice barely audible:

Fang La is here!
"How can we possibly stop him? The grain and wages for the ditch have been owed for half a year!"

"If you push the master too far, he'll just open the city gates..."

After Cai Fu and his men rushed out of the city gate, Zhang Shun was guarding their horses on the official road outside the city gate.

Cai Fu mounted his horse and glanced back:
Good guy!
Not only were there no pursuers, but the city gates were also closed!
Is this such a dish?
Slow!

Big black rat!

Cai Fu took a closer look:
Shi Qian, dressed in all black and carrying a bulging sack, came running at breakneck speed!

【Don’t worry, there’s more to come】
