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

Chapter 240 Lu Junyi: Isn't this more fragrant than Jia's? [3rd update, please vote with monthly tickets and recommendations]

"Second brother, that's about enough..."

When Cai Fu returned to the village shop, he found that Lu Junyi and the young woman had already started an affair.

There's no way they wouldn't hook up! The woman is gentle and charming, the man is tall and strong, the woman is unmarried, the man is widowed, and with the added aura of a hero saving a damsel in distress, it would be strange if they didn't!

Lu Junyi blushed, feeling as if he had betrayed his elder brother.

"Big brother, I'm not..."

"It could be!"

Cai Fu interrupted Lu Junyi:

"That's not what I meant. The man just now was Dong Ping, the military commander of Dongping Prefecture."

“If we don’t leave quickly, it will be too late when he returns with his army.”

Lu Junyi suddenly realized what was happening, and at that moment the young woman spoke up:

"I... I can tell my father!"

Cai Fu was taken aback: "What is your father's surname?"

"Procedure!"

The young woman explained:
"My father is the Prefect of Dongping Prefecture!"

"Dong Ping dared to lay a hand on me today! My father will never forgive him if he finds out!"

Lu Junyi was taken aback: "Your father, no, your father-in-law, is the prefect?"

"yes……"

The young woman cautiously stole a glance at Lu Junyi.

She worried that her family background would scare Lu Junyi away...

These days, it's still important to consider social standing and family background when choosing a partner.

Dong Ping was rejected by her father every time he asked for her hand in marriage because they were not of equal social standing.

However, under the halo of being a hero who saves the damsel in distress, she didn't care whether Lu Junyi was a good match for her or not.

But she was worried that Lu Junyi would back down...

Cai Fu was also taken aback:
Your father is Cheng Wanli, the prefect of Dongping Prefecture, so aren't you Cheng Wan'er?
Speaking of Cheng Wan'er, she was a tragic figure. In the original story, her entire family was killed by Dong Ping.

Dong Ping abducted her to Liangshan Marsh and forcibly married her; her fate was even more tragic than that of Hu Sanniang.

At least Hu Sanniang didn't marry Li Kui...

Moreover, Cheng Wan'er gave birth to a son named Dong Fang for Dong Ping, who later became a general under Yue Fei.

However, it seems unlikely that Dong Fang will be released; perhaps Lu Fang will be the next one.

Lu Junyi did not back down, but he couldn't help feeling a little inferior:
She's the governor's daughter...

"That won't help!"

Cai Fu shook his head:

"Dong Ping's horse is fast!"
"Even if we rush to Dongping Prefecture now, he will arrive first!"

"He will send troops to capture us..."

Cheng Wan'er quickly said, "I can be a witness!"

"it's useless!"

Cai Fu waved his hand: "He won't give you a chance to prove yourself!"
"Besides, even a common soldier wouldn't recognize you!"

Cheng Wan'er panicked: "Then what should we do..."

"We cannot go to Dongping Prefecture!"

Cai Fu hesitated for two seconds: "Otherwise, we'll just be facing his military might head-on..."

Lu Junyi's eyes lit up: "How about we go back to Liangshan Marsh?"

"Neither!"

Cai Fu immediately rejected it:

Are you headed straight for Liangshan Marsh? I'm almost embarrassed to point that out!

"Dong Ping knows we are from Liangshan. If I were him, I would definitely send a detachment to intercept us in the direction of Liangshan!"

After Cai Fu finished speaking, Cheng Wan'er's face turned pale:
"You are Liangshan..."

"Correct!"

Lu Junyi told her without any hesitation:

"We are the heroes of Liangshan, do you regret it?"

Cheng Wan'er's face was as pale as paper, but her little hand quietly grasped Lu Junyi's big hand.

Her little hands were cold, yet she held them tightly.

Lu Junyi felt a warmth in his heart: Isn't this even better than Jia's? Cai Fu's mouth was stuffed full of dog food:
Damn, fortunes change! Before, it was always my buddies eating my dog ​​food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing romantic relationships)...

"We blah blah blah..."

Cai Fu made a decisive decision:
"You screwed that son of a bitch over there!"

None of the brothers objected, so Cai Fu gave the shopkeeper a silver ingot and told him to find another way to make a living.

The shopkeeper knew that Dong Ping was doomed once he returned, so he thanked him profusely and left with the silver to a distant place.

……

"Hmph! Hurry up!"

Just as Cai Fu had predicted, Dong Ping fled back to Dongping Prefecture and immediately gathered troops to arrest Cai Fu.

Unfortunately, Dongping Prefecture didn't have many cavalrymen at the moment, so Dong Ping only gathered three thousand infantrymen and rushed to the village.

The problem with the infantry was that they were too slow, so Dong Ping had to personally whip the three thousand infantrymen to make a forced march.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Dong Ping really whipped them, making his infantry suffer terribly and forced them to run for their lives.

"Hmph! I've remembered it all!"

Dong Ping gave these government troops a heads-up in advance:

"Those were all traitors from Liangshan who committed murder, arson, and all sorts of evil deeds!"
"No matter what they say, just kill them!"

"Also, Miss Cheng has been taken hostage by them!"
"Perhaps Miss Cheng will be forced to say things she doesn't mean!"
"Don't believe that killing all the Liangshan rebels will automatically save Miss Cheng!"
"For every head of a traitor, I don't care how much the court rewards, I will personally give him an additional ten strings of cash!"

There must be a brave man under the heavy reward!

Upon hearing Dong Ping's words, the government troops were energized and ran for their lives!

They were almost there when they bumped into Cai Fu and Lu Junyi riding towards them on horseback...

Cai Fu, Lu Junyi, Yang Zhi, and Shi Jin, four heroes, rode ahead on horseback.

Shi Qian chased after them in his carriage.

Upon seeing Dong Ping arrive with the government troops, Cai Fu and Lu Junyi immediately turned their horses and fled down the side road.

"Hmph! Chase after them!"

Dong Ping was overjoyed and immediately led his army to pursue Cai Fu.

Although Dong Ping's men were all infantry and couldn't run fast, fortunately, Cai Fu and his men had chosen a difficult side road in their panic, which made it hard for their horses to run.

Dong Ping urged the curly-haired lion beast to give chase, and swung his silver spear, striking the wheels hard!
"boom!"

He snapped the wheel of the carriage with his spear, and the carriage immediately tipped over uncontrollably!
Shi Qian, like a giant flea, leaped onto Shi Jin's horse's rump with a "whoosh," as light as a feather.

"drive!"

Without the carriage to carry them, Cai Fu and his group of five, four on horseback, were able to escape much faster.

"Hmph! Go after them—"

While ordering the government troops to chase after Cai Fu and his men, Dong Ping quickly dismounted and climbed into the carriage to check on Cheng Wan'er.

If Cheng Wan'er is alright, Dong Ping will have no choice but to see her off to prevent her from spreading rumors when she gets back.

However, to Dong Ping's surprise, when he lifted the curtain, the carriage was empty!

broken!

Dong Ping's heart skipped a beat:
I fell into the trap!

……

After Dong Ping was led away by Cai Fu, two more horse-drawn carriages came out of the village shop.

Inside the carriage were Madam Ni, Madam Wu, and Madam An, protected by Qiu Qiongying, Wu Li, and Ye Qing.

Cheng Wan'er and her maid were in the other carriage, protected by Shi Xiu and Yan Qing.

The two carriages parted ways. Qiu Qiongying went back to the previous village shop to wait for Cai Fu, while Shi Xiu and Yan Qing escorted Cheng Wan'er to Dongping Prefecture.

Shi Xiu rode a horse, and Yan Qing drove the carriage, taking advantage of the time Cai Fu had bought them to reach Dongping Prefecture as quickly as possible.

The city gate guards had received Dong Ping's orders and were conducting a thorough search of anyone entering the city to see if there were any rebels.

Yan Qing said to Shi Xiu, "Brother, we need to think of a way..."

"Come in!"

Shi Xiu drew his ghost-head broadsword and roared:
"Prefect Cheng's daughter returns home—"

"Those who block the way shall die!"
