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

Chapter 196 Sister-in-law Gu: Uncle, go quickly, don't worry about me [2 updates]

Sun Li had considered the possibility that the government troops might have some kind of conspiracy, but confident in his martial arts skills, he didn't care.

After all, he was a ruthless man who could fight Huyan Zhuo's double whips for thirty rounds with just a single whip, with no clear winner.

There were only three hundred government troops, a handful at a glance, so what did he have to be afraid of?

Just do it!

"drive!"

With a shout from Sun Li, the black horse galloped towards the government troops!

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, the government troops turned around and saw that Sun Li had already arrived like a whirlwind!

"boom--"

Sun Li charged straight into the government troops, like a wild boar charging into a field of crops!
They charged and ran like wolves and boars, rampaging and crashing about!
The government troops were immediately scattered by him!
Sun Li rushed closer to the last prison van and glanced at the plump woman inside:

Isn't that Sister-in-law Gu?
"Auntie, I'm coming to save you!"

Sun Li shouted, handed the spear to his left hand, grabbed the tiger-eye bamboo-jointed steel whip with his right hand, and slammed it hard against the prison cart!

His spear was merely a handy weapon; the Tiger Eye Bamboo Joint Steel Whip was his ancestral divine weapon!
"boom--"

With one lash of Sun Li's whip, the prison cart surrounded by thick wooden sticks was shattered!
Sun Li originally thought that if the prison cart was broken up, Gu Dasao, with her impatient nature, would immediately rush out.

To everyone's surprise, Sister-in-law Gu just sat in the prison cart, shaking her head and giving him a bitter smile...

Sun Li glanced at it while fighting:
"hiss--"

A large iron chain was seen threaded through Gu Dasao's calves and locked to the carriage shaft!
Sister-in-law Gu's calves were so raw and bleeding that they attracted a swarm of greenbottle flies...

Uncle, go quickly, don't worry about me—

Sister-in-law Gu shook her head vigorously, moved by Sun Li's single-handed rescue of them, yet unwilling to implicate him.

Unfortunately, her mouth was stuffed with a smelly sock, so she couldn't speak and could only shake her head desperately at Sun Li.

Sun Li repeatedly destroyed Zou Yuan and Zou Run's prison carts, and sure enough, they were all pierced through the calves by iron chains!

Sun Li felt a chill run down his spine. Even if he saved the person, how could he bring them back to Liangshan Marsh?

Just as Sun Li was in despair, a strange-looking official suddenly appeared and pointed at him:
"Spit on him!"

Sun Li was taken aback, but then he saw ten soldiers emerge from the government troops!

Each of them carried a large water bag on their back, and a tube was attached to each of the water bags!
Ten soldiers, gripping their pipes, sprayed water at Sun Li:

"puff--"

Many black, viscous liquids, like black snakes, lunged at Sun Li with bared fangs and claws!
Although he didn't know what it was, Sun Li instinctively pulled on the reins, and the black horse reared up!

However, it was all in vain. The black snakes pounced on the black horse and coiled around it in every way possible!

"Fizz!"

Sun Li took two breaths and found the black, viscous liquid that had been splashed all over the black horse to have a very strange smell!
That strange-looking official waved his hand again:
"Burn him!"

Ten more soldiers emerged from the government troops, each carrying an iron gourd on their back!

Ten soldiers removed the iron gourd, shook it twice, and pulled the stopper out towards Sun Li:

"call--"

Suddenly, fiery snakes spewed out from those iron gourds, lunging at Sun Li with bared fangs and claws!

Sun Li's expression changed drastically. Without thinking, he flung the stirrup and flew backward!

"call--"

The fiery snakes pounced on the black horse, and in the blink of an eye, the horse was enveloped in a ball of fire!
"Xilulu——"

The black horse let out a series of pitiful cries and struggled desperately, but the flames grew larger and stronger...

Even the sparks flung from its body can set the surrounding trees and grass ablaze!
Sun Li could hardly believe his eyes: What kind of fire is this? Why is it so ferocious?
But there was no time for him to think it over. Before he even landed, a government soldier cast a large net as if he were fishing!

Just as he landed, the large net descended from the sky and covered him!
Many government troops rushed up and grabbed Sun Li, binding him up along with the large net!
Sun Li struggled desperately and roared repeatedly, but he was still tied up like a big ball of flesh and put on the prison cart.

"You may be as cunning as a devil, but you've already drunk the master's foot bath water!"

That strange-looking official walked over smugly.

Sun Li looked closely and finally realized what was strange about the official:

He was clearly a public servant, yet he had words tattooed on his face!

Although the words were tattooed, only "Diepei...zhou" was tattooed, the name of the prefecture was left blank!
Even stranger, he was a man without ears!

It has neither ear nor any ear!
Sun Li, both surprised and furious, demanded, "Who are you?"

"I'll kill you damned traitors!"

The earless constable glared at him fiercely:
"My lord is He Tao, the arresting officer of the Three Capitals of Jeju!"
"It was one of your accomplices who cut off the master's ear, and you don't you recognize me?"

It turns out that He Tao was the arresting officer who was sent to Yuncheng County to investigate the case after Chao Gai and his men robbed the birthday gifts.

Because they trusted Song Jiang, Chao Gai and his men became wary.

As a result, He Tao not only failed to capture Chao Gai, but also had both of his ears cut off by Ruan Xiaoqi.

The words on his face were tattooed by the then-prefect of Jeju.

Cai Jing was very angry because of the birthday tribute incident.

They threatened the then-governor of Jeju, saying that if the thieves were not apprehended within ten days, they would send the governor to Samun Island.

The governor of Jeju then shifted the pressure onto He Tao, having all the characters tattooed on him first.

If the governor of Jeju goes to Shamon Island, he will first exile He Tao to a remote and harsh military prefecture.

The result, of course, was that they failed to capture Chao Gai.

When the governor of Jizhou saw that He Tao's ears had been cut off, he was merciful and did not exile He Tao to a remote and harsh military prefecture.

However, Cai Jing showed no mercy, and the governor of Jeju was sent to Shamon Island...

The previous governor of Jeju was sent away, which led to Zhang Shuye taking over the post.

He Tao himself had his ear cut off, yet he was grateful to the new governor of Jizhou.

Knowing that Chao Gai, Ruan Xiaoqi, and others had joined Liangshan Marsh, they naturally hated Liangshan Marsh to the core.

When Zhang Shuye attacked Liangshan Marsh, He Tao volunteered to join the army.

When Zhang Shuye set a trap, He Tao volunteered to help.

Now that Sun Li has been arrested, He Tao is extremely pleased and makes outrageous remarks:

"I'll kill you all, you traitors, sooner or later!"

He then said to the twenty soldiers, "Thank you all for your hard work. I will certainly report your merits to the Prime Minister!"

Those twenty government troops were not from Jizhou, but were sailors and firemen borrowed by Zhang Shuye from Shan Tinggui, the military commissioner of Lingzhou, and Wei Dingguo.

He wore ordinary military uniforms and mingled among the soldiers.

They were the key to luring the enemy out of their hiding place, and their appearance at the crucial moment proved to be a great success.

"Mission accomplished, let's go back!"

He Tao waved his hand triumphantly, and the government troops turned the prison cart around, collected the corpses, and took them back with them.

Sun Li was bound into a large ball of flesh and placed on Gu Dasao's prison cart. The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
The family is finally reunited...

Sister-in-law Gu winked at Sun Li, and, relying on the unspoken understanding between her sister-in-law and brother-in-law, asked:
Is there any reinforcements?
Sun Li shook his head: It's just me...
