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

Chapter 225 Song Jiang: What the hell am I expecting? [4 chapters, please subscribe]

Besides Qiu Qiongying and Guan Sheng, Cai Fu also brought Lu Junyi, Yan Qing, Yang Zhi, Shi Jin, Shi Xiu, and Shi Qian.

I didn't originally want to bring Lu Junyi, since Lu Junyi's appearance is too conspicuous.

But Lu Junyi refused.

They also said that Guan Sheng was more conspicuous than him, and that since Lu Zhishen and Wu Song went last time, and Guan Sheng went this time too, how could he be the only one left out? They also said that their elder brother was showing favoritism...

Cai Fu had never realized Lu Junyi was so clingy, so he had no choice but to bring Lu Junyi along.

So Cai Fu and his group of nine men and nine riders left Liangshan Marsh.

Before leaving, Song Jiang asked Cai Fu with anticipation:

"I'm bedridden recovering from my injuries. If you were to leave, who would take care of all the affairs of Liangshan?"

"Brother, don't worry!"

Cai Fu said with a smile:
"Don't I still have a few brothers here?"
"Cai Qing, Lu Zhishen, and Wu Song formed a temporary council."

"They can handle all matters, big and small."

"They can't solve it..."

Song Jiang opened his eyes wide in anticipation. If he really couldn't manage things himself, being able to rule from behind the curtain wouldn't be bad either!

Cai Fu coughed lightly: "They can still resolve this through a meeting of the three of them!"

What the hell am I expecting?
Song Jiang was breathless for a long time, and when he looked at Wu Yong, he realized he wasn't much better off than him...

Sighing, Song Jiang shook his head helplessly:
"It seems that the matter of opening a branch village can't be delayed any longer."

Wu Yong wholeheartedly agreed: "Brother is wise!"

"Once my injuries have healed..."

Song Jiang gritted his teeth:

"We'll bring it up with him when he comes back this time!"

"Strategist, where do you think would be a good place to open a branch camp?"

Wu Yong counted on his fingers:

"Our first choice is definitely Shandong."

“In Shandong, Peach Blossom Mountain, Dengyun Mountain, and White Tiger Mountain are too small.”

“Brother can choose one from Erlong Mountain, Qingfeng Mountain, or Dulonggang.”

Dulonggang was originally the territory occupied by Zhujiazhuang, Hujiazhuang, and Lijiazhuang.

Song Jiang hesitated for two seconds:
"Erlong Mountain is still the best."

"Erlong Mountain is strategically important and defensible, easy to defend but difficult to attack."

"It's a pity that Lu Zhishen burned down the mountain stronghold, but fortunately he didn't burn down Baozhu Temple as well."

"Once we arrive, all we need to do is occupy Baozhu Temple, rebuild the mountain stronghold, and we'll quickly become a force to be reckoned with!"

Wu Yong nodded: "Very well, since that's the case, let's wait until Cai returns before making any decisions."

……

Cai Fu led his brothers westward.

Guan Sheng, Yang Zhi, and Shi Jin all know the way, so there's no need to worry about getting lost; just follow them.

After traveling for several days, it was already late when Cai Fu said:

"Brothers, let's find a place to rest."

The brothers all said it was good.

As luck would have it, there was a young man ahead of them, carrying a bundle on his back, walking dejectedly.

With Yan Qing around, there's no need to trouble Cai Fu and the others.

Yan Qing stepped forward and called out to the young man:

"Please, sir!"

The young man originally didn't want to talk to anyone, but seeing that Yan Qing was handsome, he stopped and returned the greeting.

Seeing his miserable expression, Yan Qing struck up a conversation:
"Young man, is something troubling you?"

If it were someone like Li Kui, the younger generation wouldn't bother with him.

However, since it was Yan Qing, the young man sighed and began to pour out his troubles to him:
"My lord, you may not know this, but our place is called 'Four Willows Village'."

“My master’s surname is Di, and there are more than 100 people in my family. Who within a hundred miles doesn’t know that my master, Di Taigong, is a great philanthropist?”

"My master has always done good deeds, but last month a monster appeared in his house!"

"what?"

Yan Qing was startled: "What kind of monster?"

The young man looked around and, seeing that no one was paying attention, lowered his voice and said to Yan Qing, "My master only has one daughter, who is twenty years old."

"Last month, I encountered a monster!"
"This monster has taken over my young lady's room, and since then, my young lady's room has been kept tightly shut!"

"He only eats tea and drinks in his room and doesn't come out to beg for food!"

"If anyone goes to call her, she will throw bricks and stones at them randomly, and many people in the house will be injured by them!"

"My master invited all the sorcerers within a hundred miles, but they still couldn't catch it!"
"So I sent someone to invite a famous monk from afar."

"However, the monk, upon hearing this, refused to come with me."

"Ugh--"

At this point, the young man sighed:

"I don't know how I'm going to explain this to my master when I get back..."

"Is there such a thing?"

Yan Qing sympathized with him for a few words, then went around in circles to say that his group had missed their lodging and had nowhere to spend the night.

"This is easy."

The young man was kind-hearted:
"My master is happy to help others, so please come and stay at my house for the night."

"Thank you, young man!"

After thanking the young man, Yan Qing turned around and waved to Cai Fu and the others who were trailing behind in the distance.

No, that's a problem!
Cai Fu and the others saw this and continued to follow Yan Qing from a distance, while Yan Qing followed the young man.

Before long, the young man led Yan Qing to a village and they easily found their way to a large manor.

This is my home!

The young man asked Yan Qing with great enthusiasm:

"Where is your brother? Can you find him?"

"that is not?"

Yan Qing turned around and pointed, and the young man, upon seeing it, was so frightened that he tripped and fell to the ground:
"My lord, spare my life!"

It turned out that it was already dark, and the few lights in the village only illuminated the road with a dim yellow light, adding to the eeriness of the place.

The young man spotted a group of burly men riding tall horses galloping towards him!

I thought it was robbers!

Yan Qing helped the young man up and coaxed him gently:
"Don't be afraid, young man, we are all good people!"

You're so handsome, you seem like a good person...

The younger generation looked at Cai Fu, Lu Junyi, Yang Zhi and their group, and only wished that their parents had given them one less leg.

But it was too late to say anything now. The gates of the manor were wide open, and he was still in Yan Qing's hands, with nowhere to escape...

Fortunately, Cai Fu and his men did not commit arson, murder, or looting when they arrived. The young man cautiously led them inside.

With this young man leading the way, Cai Fu and his group went straight into the main hall.

A man in his forties or fifties came out; of course, in the 21st century, he would only be considered middle-aged.

But these days, people in their thirties can call themselves "old men," and it's perfectly reasonable for people in their forties or fifties to call themselves "great men."

The young man greeted him tremblingly:

"Great-great-grandfather, the little chubby one has arrived..."

"You went out for a while, and now your tongue is all tied in knots?"

Di Taigong asked curiously, and upon seeing Cai Fu and the others, his face immediately lit up with joy:

"You scoundrel, are these the sorcerers you invited?"
"Alright, alright!"
"These mages are so imposing, they must be very capable!"

"My daughter is saved!"

Young man: (⊙﹏⊙)
Just as Yan Qing was about to speak, Cai Fu, having overheard the mention of a sorcerer and her daughter, couldn't help but ask:
"Where is this?"

No, where did you give me this to?

Is this still Water Margin? Huh?

Could this person speaking be from Gao Lao Zhuang?
"Didn't you explain it clearly to the monk?"

Di Taigong rolled his eyes at the young man, then said to Cai Fu with a forced smile:
"This is Siliu Village, and my surname is Di!"

"I wonder which sorcerer will be exorcising demons tonight?"

Siliu Village!

Cai Fusong breathed a sigh of relief:

Thank goodness, it's still Water Margin!
As for the haunted Siliu Village—I know the answer to that!
