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

Chapter 230 Niu Gao commits suicide, Shi Jin is shot with an arrow [2nd update, please vote with monthly tickets and recommendations]

"Okay!"

Qiu Qiongying had been studying under Lu Junyi for several months, waiting for an opportunity to make a name for herself!

Since the black-clad man had chosen her, Qiu Qiongying rode forward without hesitation and openly announced her name:
"I am Qiu Qiongying, a female general of Liangshan, known in the martial arts world as 'Shadowless Thunder God' or 'Iron Bullet'!"
"This young lady doesn't kill nameless ghosts with her gun. Who are you? State your name!"

When did you start calling yourself "Iron Bullet" again?

Cai Fu's mouth twitched twice secretly:

Also, little girl, could you please stop imitating Guan Sheng's way of speaking?
broken!

Blackie's heart skipped a beat:

Since I don't have a nickname, just by giving my name, I already feel inferior to others!
How about we make one up right away?
Blackie's education level was limited, so he could only look at himself, who was completely black from head to toe.

Looking around again, the mass grave was eerie and terrifying, like a living hell...

Got it!

The black man started talking without warning:

“Tell me my name, and I’ll give you a fright!”
"In the martial arts world, I am known as 'Black Rakshasa' Niu Gao!"

It really is you, Little Cow!
Cai Fu had already guessed it from the dark-skinned fellow's attire, after all, there weren't many heroes who wielded maces.

There are very few heroes who wield maces and are dressed entirely in black from head to toe.

Considering the timeline, who else could it be besides Niu Gao, the lucky general of Yue Fei's army?
Although Niu Gao was not very skilled in martial arts, he was very famous and was ranked alongside Zhang Fei, Li Kui, and Cheng Yaojin as one of the "Four Great Rough Men in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms"!
He was also a rare lucky general, as Jin Wuzhu died at his hands.

For this reason alone, Cai Fu had to protect him:
"Yingzi, I have a use for him, don't kill him!"

"rest assured!"

Qiu Qiongying turned around and smiled: "I will go easy on you!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"

Upon hearing this, Niu Gao's dark face turned a deep blue with anger:

"Don't hold back, I'll give it my all!"

Good guy!
Cai Fu's mouth twitched twice secretly:

This guy, well, he looks big, clumsy, and not very clever, but if you actually think he's a fool, then you're the fool...

"Quack! Quack!"

Niu Gao spurred his horse toward Qiu Qiongying, who was still on her horse, waiting for him to come over before waving her little hand!
"Whoosh-"

A pebble hit Niu Gao's big face!

Niu Gao let out a howl and fell off his horse...

After rolling twice on the ground, Niu Gao got up and wiped his face; his hands were covered in blood!

Niu Gao felt wronged and pointed at Qiu Qiongying, shouting:
"Didn't you say you'd go easy on him?"

Cai Fu shook his head: "She has already shown mercy."

"If she used iron pellets, she's already dead!"

"Ah this——"

Niu Gao's eyes darted around:
"How can she use iron pellets in a fair duel with me?"

"This is not fair!"

"Okay!"

Qiu Qiongying picked up her halberd and said confidently:
"I won't use iron pellets, let's fight another round!"

She wanted to test the spear technique that Lu Junyi had taught her, to see how much better it was than the spear technique taught in the immortal's dream.

Are you that confident?
Niu Gao blinked his bull eyes:

"You're using hidden weapons, I'm not fighting you!"
"I want to choose another one!"

Cai Fu laughed heartily: "As you wish!"

Niu Gao had already made his choice and immediately pointed at Yan Qing, shouting:

"Pretty boy, come out and fight me!"

"good taste!"

Cai Fu gave a thumbs up:

If you're not going to choose a woman, then choose someone who's thin and small!
This is why Shi Qian lacks presence; otherwise, Niu Gao would definitely have chosen "the flea on the drum"...

Yan Qing wasn't annoyed, and asked with a smile:
"Hey big guy, I'm Infantry General. Do you dare fight me on foot?"

"Why don't you dare?"

Niu Gao was furious:
"What ability do you have to dare to provoke me?"
"Grandpa Niu, dismount and fight you!"

As he spoke, Niu Gao jumped off his horse. Yan Qing had already dismounted and was standing casually in front of Niu Gao.

Niu Gao demanded, "Where are your weapons?"

Yan Qing spread his hands: "I always go empty-handed and don't use weapons."

"You do your thing, don't worry about me."

"nonsense!"

Niu Gao was even angrier:

"You only have two fists, I have an iron mace. Even if I win, I won't be a hero!"

After saying this, Niu Gao hung his double maces on the saddle and walked over to stand five steps away from Yan Qing, facing him directly.

Niu Gao was eight feet tall, while Yan Qing was just over six feet tall; the difference in their stature was striking when they stood together.

"You're so small, Grandpa Niu would probably kill you with one punch!"

Niu Gao laughed heartily, feeling that he was capable again.

He didn't have any special tactics; he just went straight for the electric cannon!

That's it?

Yan Qing calmly dodged Niu Gao's electric cannon.

Niu Gao turned around and threw another punch!
Yan Qing dodged away again.

After missing his target with both punches, Niu Gao panicked and suddenly unleashed a left whip kick!

"Well done!"

Yan Qing ducked down and crawled between Niu Gao's legs!
With his shoulders braced against Niu Gao's Qu Gu acupoint, and his hands gripping each of Niu Gao's thighs, he suddenly thrust upwards with all his might!
Niu Gao's legs were suddenly powerless after Yan Qing pressed down on his Qu Gu acupoint, as if a tree had lost its roots!
Although Yan Qing was small in stature, he was quite strong. How could a sumo wrestler like him not be strong?

He lifted Niu Gao up and spun him around several times before throwing him out!

"Boom—" Niu Gao's tall and strong body crashed heavily to the ground!

He was so dizzy from the fall that he saw stars!
Yan Qing grinned, grabbed one of his arms, twisted him behind his back, and pressed his knee against his back:
"Do you admit defeat or not?"

Niu Gao's big, dark face was pressed against the ground, his mouth full of dirt. He struggled a few times but couldn't move at all.
Left with no other choice, Niu Gao had to slap the ground with his other hand to indicate that he had given up.

Yan Qing then released him, and Shi Xiu gave him a thumbs up:

"Brother Yi, you really are the best at poker!"

Niu Gao got up, shook his dizzy head, and suddenly shouted:
I'm so angry!

Niu Gao drew his sword from his waist, held it to his neck, and waited for someone to stop him.

In the original story, this is how Niu Gao lost to Yue Fei.

Yue Fei embraced her tightly, and they became sworn brothers.

Cai Fu didn't believe Niu Gao would really commit suicide; that guy was shameless!
However, even if we see through each other, we won't say it outright; we can still be good friends.

Cai Fu glanced at Qiu Qiongying, who immediately understood and raised her hand:
"Whoosh—Clang!"

Niu Gao felt a powerful force strike the sword, and he quickly threw it away, looking up to the sky and sighing:

"I have never been defeated by anyone before. Today's embarrassment is nothing, nothing at all!"
"I really won't survive!"

If you're going to die, at least don't throw away your sword!

Cai Fu was rigorously trained in the 21st century; no matter how funny something was, he wouldn't laugh.

He dismounted and Cai Fu stepped forward to pull Niu Gao back:

"Forget it, all my brothers have unique skills!"

"Even if we lose, it won't be shameful!"

"Wow, that's strong!"

Niu Gao was very surprised.

He thought he was incredibly strong, but when Cai Fu grabbed his wrist, the strength was beyond measure!
Niu Gao then asked Cai Fu, "What is your honorable name, and where are you from?"

Shi Xiu endorses Cai Fu:

"Do you know Liangshan Marsh? My master is the leader of Liangshan Marsh!"
"It is Cai Fu, known in the martial arts world as 'Sai Xuande' and also as 'King of the Northern Blades'!"

"Oh!"

Upon hearing this, Niu Gao was both surprised and delighted:

"So it was Cai Daowang in person! Why didn't you say so earlier? I'm sorry for offending you!"

After saying this, Niu Gao bowed deeply. Cai Fu helped him up and asked with a smile:

"Brother, why are you robbing people here?"

"Ugh--"

Niu Gao sighed:

"The child has no mother; it's a long story!"
"I am from Shaanxi, and my ancestors were soldiers."

"Because when my father passed away, he instructed my mother: 'If you want your son to become famous, you must go and study under Master Zhou Tong.'"

"Therefore, my son and I left our hometown to search for Master Zhou."

"There is a legend that someone passed through Qilin Village in Neihuang County and encountered a group of bandits robbing people on the way."

"I killed the bandit leader, took his armor and saddle, and drove away his henchmen."

"Thinking about it, I sought out Master Zhou to find out what I could do to make a living."

"So, I'll also rob some things here, firstly to make a living, and secondly to take some as a gift for the audience..."

"Isn't this just a coincidence?"

Cai Fu pulled Lu Junyi over: "This is my second brother, Lu Junyi!"
"He is Mr. Zhou's first disciple!"

Upon hearing this, Niu Gao immediately bowed to Lu Junyi again.

Cai Fu then introduced him to Guan Sheng, Yang Zhi, and others.

After bowing to Zhou Tong, Niu Gao asked Lu Junyi about him and learned that Zhou Tong had already taken on a closed-door disciple.

Niu Gao was frustrated: "What should we do?"

Cai Fu thought for a moment and said, "If you want to become my apprentice, I can write you a letter of introduction."

“Take this to Liangshan Marsh in Shandong, find ‘Flowery Monk’ Lu Zhishen and give him the letter, and he will naturally accept you as his disciple.”

Both Lu Zhishen and Wu Song entrusted him to select apprentices, and Cai Fu happened to entrust Niu Gao to Lu Zhishen for training.

Although, in terms of weaponry, Niu Gao might have been more suitable to be Huyan Zhuo's apprentice.

However, Cai Fu and Hu Yanzhuo were not familiar with each other, and Niu Gao's personality was also incompatible with Hu Yanzhuo's, so Lu Zhishen was a better match.

The reason Niu Gao was sent to Liangshan Marsh on his own was because he had brought his mother with him, and it was inconvenient for her to go to the State of Jin with him.

Niu Gao thanked Cai Fu, who then wrote him a letter of introduction. Niu Gao then went to fetch his mother.

Cai Fu and his group continued on their journey, and this time they traveled safely until they reached the foot of Baodu Mountain.

Baodu Mountain was extremely steep, so Cai Fu left the horses at the foot of the mountain and had Qiu Qiongying and Shi Jin guard them.

Cai Fu and Lu Junyi, Guan Sheng, Yang Zhi, Yan Qing, Shi Xiu, and Shi Qian walked up the mountain.

"Tang Bin, the 'Mountain-Pulling Warrior,' was originally a military officer in Pudong. He was brave and upright, and had once sworn brotherhood with Guan."

On the way to Guansheng, Tang Bin was introduced to his brothers:

"He was framed by a powerful figure and killed his enemy in a fit of rage."

"The authorities were in a hurry to capture him. He originally wanted to go to Liangshan to join them, but he was robbed when he passed through this mountain."

Tang Bin fought with the leaders of Benshan, Wen Zhongrong, known as "Mountain Shaker", and Cui Ye, known as "Mountain Mover".

"Neither Wen nor Cui could defeat him, so they invited him to the mountain to become the chief of the stronghold."

"Last year, Tian Hu invaded and seized Huguan, and we demanded that he surrender."

"Tang Bin was unwilling at first, but he was outnumbered and outmatched by Tian Hu, so he reluctantly submitted."

"But he only resides in Benshan, serving as a flank for Huguan..."

At the same time, Qiu Qiongying and Shi Jin were guarding the horses when suddenly two arrows shot towards them!
Caught off guard, Shi Jin was shot in the arm with an arrow and could no longer wield his three-pointed double-edged sword...

Fortunately, Qiu Qiongying was skilled with hidden weapons and reacted quickly, snatching the arrow in her hand!
