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

Chapter 189 Who Does He Want to Ambush? The Fierce Tiger of Jiangnan! [3rd Update, Requesting Monthly Tickets and Recommendations]

Is Fang Jie here?

Everyone instinctively looked towards the courtyard gate, where a tall and imposing young general strode in.

Cai Fu looked closely and saw that the man had a face like jade, eyes like bright stars, was tall and mighty, and exuded a heroic aura!

Wearing a golden crown to bind his hair, a battle robe adorned with a hundred flowers, and holding a halberd, he was like the reincarnation of Lu Bu, the Marquis of Wen!
There was also a "Little Marquis Wen" named Lü Fang in Liangshan Marsh, who dressed like Lü Bu, but only captured his appearance.

In Cai Fu's view, Fang Jie was exactly the same in appearance and spirit, no wonder he was nicknamed "the fierce tiger of Jiangnan".

This corresponds to Lü Bu, the "fierce tiger of Jiuyuan".

Fang Jie was indeed a formidable fighter. In the original novel, Fang Jie and Qin Ming fought for over thirty rounds without a clear victor.

As a result, Du Wei ambushed Qin Ming with a flying knife, which made Fang Jie's killing of Qin Ming less meaningful.

However, we cannot say that Fang Jie is inferior to Qin Ming just because Du Wei helped him in the battle.

Fang Jie's second achievement was that he first fought Guan Sheng one-on-one for more than ten rounds, and then Song Jiang sent Hua Rong to join forces with Guan Sheng to fight Fang Jie.

Guan Sheng's strength goes without saying; he is undoubtedly the leader of the Five Tiger Generals.

Hua Rong was able to fight Qin Ming for forty or fifty rounds without a clear winner; even placing him among the Eight Tiger Generals would be an underutilization of his talent.

Fang Jie fought against the two generals, and although it was difficult to determine a winner, he was able to hold his own.

Song Jiang shamelessly sent Li Ying and Zhu Tong to fight together, making it four against one.

Fang Jie then withdrew from the battle and fled back to his own lines.

Based on the combined results of these two matches, Fang Jie's strength is at least at the level of the Five Tigers.

Otherwise, it would have been enough for Song Jiang to send Hua Rong to assist in the battle; there would have been no need to send Li Ying and Zhu Tong as well.

This battle was almost a rematch of the Three Heroes vs. Lü Bu.

Fang Jie may have lost, but he was still honorable.

Cai Fu glanced at Fang Jie, then subconsciously looked at Fang La, and sure enough, saw that Fang La's expression was stiff.

At the same time, besides He Conglong, Fang La was accompanied by a short, stocky, dark-faced man.

The burly man with a dark face had one hand hanging by his side. Cai Fu, with his sharp eyes, saw a glint of cold light flash in his hand.

Cai Fu immediately knew who he was. If he was not mistaken, he was Du Wei, the Grand Commandant of the Imperial Guards and General of the Cavalry.

Du Wei's other skills are ordinary, except for his throwing knives.

His first attack was a sneak attack on Qin Ming, which resulted in Qin Ming being killed by Fang Jie with a single halberd thrust.

Later, Yu Baosi and Sun Erniang also died from Du Wei's flying knives.

So here's the question: who is he planning to ambush with the throwing knife in his hand?
Cai Fu saw Fang Jie rush into the mourning hall like a gust of wind, and Fang La's expression softened.

Du Wei withdrew her hand behind her back, and when she took her hand out again, the throwing knife was gone.

Then, Fang Jie's loud wailing echoed from the mourning hall, moving all who heard it to tears.

After a long while, Fang Jie walked out of the mourning hall with tears streaming down his face and headed towards Fang La.

Fang La's expression stiffened again.

Du Wei reached behind her again, as if she had grasped something, her eyes fixed on Fang Jie.

"Pfft!"

Fang Jie knelt before Fang La, saying nothing, only weeping uncontrollably.

Tears welled up in Fang La's eyes, and he couldn't help but reach out and touch Fang Jie's head.

"uncle……"

Fang Jie broke down emotionally.

After his father died, he only had his grandfather as a relative.

After his grandfather died, his closest relatives were his paternal uncles Fang La and Fang Mao.

"I know I know……"

Fang La sighed deeply, struggled to support his weak body, and embraced the weeping Fang Jie.

Although he had lowered his guard against Fang Jie, Du Wei still held a throwing knife in his hand.

As specks of white fluff drifted down, Cai Fu instinctively looked up and saw...

It's snowing.

Thankfully it's January now, not June.

The snow fell heavier and heavier, gradually turning Fang La and Fang Jie, who were embracing each other, into a human-shaped snow sculpture, merging them into one.

……

The next day, after An Daoquan's treatment, Fang La's health improved somewhat, and his complexion was no longer so pale.

He sat back in a large armchair, wrapped in a furry tiger skin. Although still listless, at least he could sit still.

Fang La took Fang Jie's hand and introduced him to Cai Fu:
"Jie'er, this is Cai Fu, the second leader of Liangshan Marsh, known as 'Sai Xuande'."

"He and Jinzhi are already engaged, so he's practically your brother-in-law."

"We're all family, you should get to know each other better."

This was Fang Jie and Cai Fu's first meeting.

From Fang Jinzhi's perspective, Cai Fu politely addressed his brother-in-law as "Brother Jie".

"Your Majesty, this humble monk is late!"

Sweating profusely, Deng Yuanjue burst into Fang La's "ward" and bowed to Fang La.

Fang La pointed at him and laughed, "Are you upset that I didn't reward you?"

Then Fang La said to Fang Jie, "When I rushed to see my uncle for the last time, I was assassinated at Shuangmantou Mountain."

"It was your brother-in-law and the Imperial Advisor who arrived in time to save me."

"If it weren't for their display of divine power, I'm afraid I would have..."

"what?"

Fang Jie's expression changed drastically: "Uncle, you've been assassinated?"

Deng Yuanjue's expression also changed drastically: "Your Majesty, have you been assassinated?"

"No, this humble monk has been helping Yuandong all along..."

"Ok?"

Fang La was taken aback and subconsciously looked at Cai Fu.

Cai Fu's mouth twitched twice secretly:

"Your Majesty, it was my third brother, Lu Zhishen, the Flower Monk, who displayed great power at Shuangmantou Mountain that day!"

This was quite awkward. Fang La coughed lightly.
"My dear son-in-law, may I ask your younger brother to come in and meet me?"

Fang La has experienced too much in the past two days, narrowly escaping death twice, so he hasn't been able to verify things with Cai Fu.

As for rewards, Fang La had no interest in them at the funeral and planned to discuss them afterward.

Who knew they had mistaken the person for someone else...

Cai Fu then summoned Lu Zhishen in, and he stood with Deng Yuanjue, looking exactly like twins.

However, upon closer inspection, Fang La recognized them; one liked to wear red, and the other liked to wear black.

Of course, this is not absolute. Deng Yuanjue would also wear other colors. Who would wear all red all the time for no reason?

So, if we examine their appearances closely, Lu Zhishen had a round face and a full beard, while Deng Yuanjue had a square face and a full beard.

Lu Zhishen was a bit darker, and Deng Yuanjue was a bit lighter.

Lu Zhishen was eight feet tall, while Deng Yuanjue was half an inch shorter...

"Thank you so much, Master Lu, for saving my life!"

Fang La bowed his head to Lu Zhishen:

"I will remember this!"

From then on, Fang La would never admit his mistake, nor would anyone else present.

……

Liangshan Park.

Duan Jingzhu stumbled into the Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness and tearfully told Song Jiang:
"Brother, Yang Lin, Shi Yong, and I are going to the north to buy horses."

"When I arrived there, I selected two hundred strong, vigorous, and fine-haired horses."

"Upon returning to Jeju Island, the governor of Jeju learned of the situation and dispatched troops to surround the island!"

"My brother fought his way out of the encirclement and escaped back!"

"The whereabouts of the brothers Yang Lin and Shi Yong are unknown..."

"what?"

Song Jiang slammed his fist on the table in anger:
"Zhang Shuye, the prefect of Jizhou, dares to be so rude!"
"Yang Lin and Shi Yong are both Song Jiang's brothers. If Song Jiang doesn't rescue them, he swears he's not a man!"

Hey?

Song Jiang was stunned after he finished speaking:
It feels a little strange that no one is saying, "My brother is the leader of the stronghold and shouldn't be touched."

Let's give them some monthly passes and recommendation votes!
