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

Chapter 233 Tian Hu: A Thousand Blades at Once, I'll Turn You into Minced Meat! [2nd Update, Requesting Monthly Tickets and Recommendations]

"This is a family matter."

"You shall remain outside the gate and shall not enter without my summons, lest you offend the women."

Prince Tian Hu of Jin stood at the door, stopping the many guards who had followed him.

He entered the hall only with the Princess Consort of Jin, who was also Wu Li's younger sister, Grand Commandant Fang Xuedu, and Governor Hu Ying and Tang Xian.

After sitting down, Fang Xuedu whispered to Tian Hu:
"Your Majesty, the commander-in-chief returned and said everything was fine, so why did the princess suddenly return to Weisheng?"

"There's probably more to this than meets the eye..."

A hint of displeasure flashed in Tian Hu's eyes:
"Qiongying is a quiet and stubborn child."

"Although I have never met Cai Fusu, I have heard his story."

"What do you mean by 'three disturbances in Daming Prefecture, two disturbances in Kaifeng Prefecture'..."

"He even cut off Grand Commandant Gao's ear; he's a real desperado!"
"Liangshan Marsh has a great reputation in Shandong. If we can recruit Cai Fu to our side, we can attack Tokyo from two sides in the future!"
"Therefore, I am determined to obtain Cai Fu!"

"If Qiongying delays my important affairs, I will..."

"The Emperor's brother-in-law has arrived!"

Hu Ying suddenly reminded him, and Tian Hu stopped talking, smiling as he looked at Wu Guojiu who had just entered.
"Imperial Brother-in-law, has Xiao Qiongying returned?"

"Your Majesty, I was just about to bring Qiongying into the palace when I didn't expect Your Majesty to have already arrived at my home!"

"I am so sorry I couldn't greet you from afar!"

Wu Guojiu, accompanied by his wife Ni and Qiu Qiongying, entered and greeted Tian Hu.

Qiu Qiongying was already reluctant to bow to Tian Hu, but now that she's become more assertive, she's become even more perfunctory in her bowing.

Tian Hu frowned almost imperceptibly, and then smiled:

"We're all family, no need for formalities."

“My beloved concubine knew that Qiongying had returned and was worried about the child, so I accompanied her to see her.”

"You silly girl, with war and chaos outside, how dare a young lady run around alone like this?"

Princess Jin walked over, took Qiu Qiongying's small hand, scolded her a couple of times, and then inquired about her marriage:

"Qiongying, what's Cai Daowang's character like? Are his parents still alive? Does he have any siblings? Blah blah blah..."

"Sister-in-law, no wonder Qiongying doesn't like any of the talented young men in Weisheng Prefecture!"
"So she already had a plan. It's true what they say, daughters grow up and become independent, blah blah blah..."

Qiu Qiongying's face fell. She had thought of all the dangers, but she never expected this to happen!

Princess Jin pulled Qiu Qiongying aside and had a private chat with Madam Ni for a while.

Tian Hu coughed once, and Princess Jin understood immediately, pulling Ni Shi to the back hall.

Tian Hu then adopted the airs of an elder and lectured Qiu Qiongying:

"Little Qiongying, you've been gone for months without a word. Do you know how worried your aunt is?"

Qiu Qiongying hung her little head and didn't say a word, her little hands squeezing the iron pellets until they were almost wet.

There's no other reason than a lack of certainty.

She knew all the civil and military officials in the court, and aside from Hu Ying and Tang Xian, Fang Xuedu was also a man of unparalleled bravery!
Qiu Qiongying once witnessed Grand Commandant Fang Xuedu and "Dragon Slayer" Sun An fight for fifty rounds without a clear winner!
You should know that Sun An was a formidable man who could fight Lu Junyi to a standstill for a hundred rounds, so you can imagine how formidable Fang Xuedu was!

Although Fang Xuedu and Sun An were only sparring, Fang Xuedu's strength should not be underestimated, and Qiu Qiongying dared not take the risk.

It wasn't that I was afraid of dying, but that I was afraid of losing this opportunity, as it would be almost impossible to find such a good opportunity again.

Therefore, Qiu Qiongying could only remain silent.

However, she has always been like this, so no one doubts her.

"We've spoiled this child rotten!"

Wu Li gave Qiu Qiongying a mock glare, then smiled apologetically at Tian Hu:
"I'm sorry to have worried Your Majesty and Queen!"

"Hahahaha!"

Tian Hu waved his hand dismissively, feigning magnanimity, and winked at Wu Li:

"Didn't Xiao Qiongying find someone she loved in Liangshan Marsh and not want to come back?"
Why are you willing to give it up now?
"Could it be that Cai Daowang is bullying our little Qiongying?"

"If that's the case, your uncle will stand up for you!"

"No no……"

Wu Li quickly spoke up for Qiu Qiongying, and Tian Hu glared at her:
Who gave you permission to speak?

Wu Li shrank back, and Tian Hu chuckled as he asked Qiu Qiongying:
"Little Qiongying, how about your uncle sends troops right away?"
"I have nothing else but a lot of soldiers!"

"Tomorrow I will send the Grand Tutor and the Palace Commander with an army of 100,000 to Shandong to capture Cai Daowang and bring him to you as an apology!"

"Your Majesty is joking..."

Qiu Qiongying had no choice but to reply:

"Brother Cai Fu is very good to me, I just miss my mother..."

"is it?"

Although Tian Hu was smiling, his voice was full of pressure:

"I heard you brought back a few guards, all of whom are Cai's men."

“Call one in and ask him if you’re covering for him.”

Qiu Qiongying cried out, "No!"

"Ah!"

Seeing Qiu Qiongying's reaction, Tian Hu felt even more certain that his prediction had come true, and waved to Hu Ying.

Hu Ying immediately went to the entrance of the hall and sent two guards to escort the people away.

A short while later, two guards brought in a burly man.

This burly man had thick eyebrows and big eyes, a dignified appearance, and was tall, strong, and imposing.

As soon as he entered, he immediately felt several scrutinizing gazes.

Especially their two gazes, like those of hungry wolves, seemed to want to devour him completely, leaving not even a trace!
However, he showed no fear and walked confidently to Tian Hu.

His gaze was fixed on Tian Hu, causing Tian Hu to involuntarily narrow his eyes!
Hu Ying and Tang Xian simultaneously placed their hands on the hilts of their knives, staring intently at the burly man as if facing a formidable enemy! Fang Xuedu involuntarily leaned forward, his five toes gripping the ground with his right foot, like a tiger ready to pounce and tear at him at any moment!
Tian Hu gripped the handrails tightly with both hands and sneered:
"Who are you? Why do you not kneel before me?"

The burly man chuckled: "We are of equal renown, why should I kneel before you?"

"hiss--"

Everyone gasped in unison!
Wu Guojiu exclaimed in shock, "You are... Cai Daowang?"

Don't blame Wu Guojiu for not realizing that if Cai Fu were to restrain himself, he would only exude a murderous aura.

The murderous intent could not be hidden.

He became an executioner at eighteen and continued until he was twenty-five, his murderous aura becoming deeply ingrained.

However, not being able to hide his murderous aura is not a big deal; in Wu Guojiu's eyes, he is nothing more than a fierce general.

Although Tian Hu and his men suspected Cai Fusheng, they only thought of him as an assassin and did not suspect Cai Fusheng.

But at this moment, Cai Fu revealed his identity and his body trembled. He unleashed his domineering aura of "I am the only one who can do this!"
This really surprised Tian Hu and his men!
After a brief moment of shock, Tian Hu couldn't help but burst into laughter:
"Legend has it that Cai Dao Wang's favorite pastime is venturing deep into the tiger's den!"

"When I saw it today, it certainly lived up to its reputation!"

Tian Hu did not doubt that Cai Fu had fabricated his identity; Cai Fu's domineering and arrogant attitude could not be faked.

This domineering aura is very similar to that of Tian Hu, who declared himself king.

The difference is that Tian Hu exudes a more domineering aura, while Cai Fu has a stronger murderous intent.

Tian Hu's domineering aura was even stronger because he had already accomplished something.

Cai Fu's murderous aura intensified because he always charged ahead in every battle!

"Choke!"

Hu Ying and Tang Xian had already drawn their swords and pointed them at Cai Fu.

Cai Fu remained unfazed: "Brother Tian, ​​if you have any problems, come at me. Don't try to outsmart a kid."

Qiu Qiongying, who had been hanging her head, suddenly raised her head as if she had triggered a key word:
Whose child are you talking about?
"Good! Good! Good!"

Although Tian Hu was seated, he seemed to be high above, pointing down at Cai Fu:

"Cai Dao Wang, you are a talented person, I admire you!"
"Now that you're here, I'll have a heart-to-heart talk with you!"

"You have brought Liangshan to join me, and I hereby appoint you as the Grand Marshal of all the armies under Heaven!"

"When we unify the world in the future, I will appoint you as king!"

"How about we share wealth and prosperity?"

"Not bad!"

Cai Fu laughed heartily:

"Tian Hu, if you lead the State of Jin to submit to me, and one day we unify the world, I will appoint you as—"

"What about Duke Anle?"

"presumptuous!"

Fang Xuedu, who had been holding back for a long time, could no longer contain himself and slammed his fist on the table!

With a loud crash, the table shattered into pieces when he struck it with his palm!

Fang Xuedu glared angrily: "King Cai Dao, this is the State of Jin!"

"How dare you utter such arrogant words? Aren't you afraid you won't be able to leave the Imperial Uncle's residence?"

“Hualalala…”

As soon as Fang Xuedu slammed his hand down on the table, the guards standing at the door rushed in like a swarm of bees!

"Shuashuashua——"

One hundred guards with swords drew their swords at the same time and surrounded Cai Fu in layers!
Cai Fu remained calm in the face of danger and asked Tian Hu with a smile:
"Fat Tiger, are you trying to kill me?"

Brother Tian, ​​Tian Hu, Fat Tiger...

Prince Tian Hu of Jin turned green:

"Who is in control of the situation now, the one surnamed Cai?"
"Your life is now in my hands. Kneel down and beg for mercy and you might live!"
"Otherwise, I will simply give the order..."

Cai Fu asked with a smile, "What if I give an order?"

Tian Hu's eyes widened: "A thousand blades will fall upon you, turning you into mincemeat!"

Cai Fu smiled dismissively and held up one finger:
"I don't need to cut you into a thousand pieces to kill you."

One cut is enough!

"What right did you have to kill Miya..."

Before Tian Hu could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a chill in his throat, as if Consort Fan was playing with him with an ice cube in her mouth...

Ok?
Fang Xuedu keenly sensed the sudden murderous aura beside him and quickly turned his head to look:

There stood a dark-skinned, thin, and small man with a rat-like face, a pointed mouth, and monkey-like cheeks, looking like a rat that had come to life!
This "rat spirit" appeared behind Tian Hu at some point, holding a sharp ox-ear knife in his hand!

Silently, he placed the bull-ear-shaped dagger against Tian Hu's throat, and just now, he swiftly made a cut!

Normally, someone as strong as Fang Xuedu would be able to sense even the slightest hint of killing intent from the "Rat Spirit"!
But just now, Fang Xuedu, Hu Ying, and Tang Xian were all completely focused on Cai Fu!
As a result, the "Rat Spirit" got close to Tian Hu, and because of a single sentence from Cai Fu, he slit Tian Hu's throat!

"brute!"

Fang Xuedu was both shocked and furious. He reached out to grab the "rat spirit," but the "rat spirit" suddenly disappeared into the crowd!
Fang Xuedu dared not relax for a moment, concentrating his attention on chasing him, afraid of losing sight of him in the blink of an eye.

Only then did Tian Hu belatedly realize that his throat had been slit.

He opened his mouth in disbelief:

“宀…”

It looked like there was a gap in his neck!
Winters in the State of Jin are very cold, with cold air rushing in!

Tian Hu hurriedly reached out to cover his neck, but he couldn't stop the bleeding; blood kept gushing out from between his fingers...

[Kill Tian Hu, let's give him some monthly tickets and recommendation votes!]
