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

Chapter 253 Lü Bu vs. Lü Bu [4 Updates, Please Subscribe]

Tong Wei and Tong Meng exchanged a glance, hesitating to speak, yet remaining silent...

Li Jun snorted:
"Speak your mind, or spit it out!"

"What kind of behavior is this, all all that fussing and swaying!"

Tong Wei: "Brother, are we really going to Erlong Mountain?"

Tong Meng: "Brother, I don't think Song Jiang is capable of accomplishing anything..."

The two brothers, one after the other, actually hit the nail on the head regarding Li Jun's feelings.

But Li Jun hadn't made up his mind yet, so he could only shake his head:

"Back then, we followed Song Jiang all the way to Liangshan."

"I originally thought that following him would allow me to make a name for myself."

"Now it seems too difficult..."

Before Tong Wei and Tong Meng could say anything more, Li Jun had already taken off his clothes and lay down between the two of them, then blew out the lamp.
"I'm not talking anymore, I'm going to sleep!"

……

Three days later, at the Dongshan Hotel.

Aunt Gu, heavily pregnant, sat on the doorstep, enjoying a plate of candied fruit.

Gu Dasao was already broad-shouldered and thick-waisted, and after becoming pregnant, she indulged in eating and became so fat that she almost turned into a ball.

It's already March, and the old trees outside have sprouted new branches with hints of green on them.

Sister-in-law Gu felt very comfortable, and Sun Xin couldn't help but urge her:

"Wife, don't stand in the cold wind outside!"

"Come in and warm up!"

"I'm not that precious!"

Sister-in-law Gu glared at him unhappily:
"I don't need your fake concern!"

To prove she was a real man, Sister-in-law Gu not only didn't go inside, but also tore open her shirt, exposing her chest!

Despite the March spring breeze pouring into the ditch, Sister-in-law Gu said in a booming voice:
"Excellent! Absolutely excellent!"

Sun Xin: (_)
“Clack… Clack…”

The sound of horses' hooves came from afar. Sister-in-law Gu looked over and saw a man and a horse coming from the main road.

Their Dongshan Hotel was the eyes and ears of Liangshan Marsh; if anyone passed by, Sister-in-law Gu would naturally keep an eye on them.

Gradually, the man and his horse drew closer, and Sister-in-law Gu could see what he looked like.

This man had a face like jade, eyes like bright stars, was tall and imposing, and exuded a commanding presence.

There was a large bundle on the horse's back; I don't know what it contained, but it looked very heavy.

A long strip of something was draped over the wing ring of the Victory Hook Bird, wrapped tightly in layers of thick cloth.

Although this person's clothes and appearance were very ordinary, he exuded a hidden domineering aura, which made Sister-in-law Gu dare not look him in the eye.

The man also noticed the hotel and slowed down. Taking advantage of this, Sister-in-law Gu got up and started soliciting customers.

"Sir, please take a rest!"

"My family has fine wine and meat, and when we want snacks, we have huge steamed buns!"

The man was already weary from his long journey, and upon hearing what Sister-in-law Gu said, his stomach began to rumble.

So he stopped in front of the shop, dismounted, and tied the horse to an old tree in front of the shop.

The man entered the shop, ordered food and drinks, and sat down to wait. Sun Xin lifted the curtain from the back kitchen and waved to Sister-in-law Gu.

Sister-in-law Gu, heavily pregnant, went into the kitchen.

Sun Xin lowered his voice and said, "Wife, something's wrong with him!"

Sister-in-law Gu nodded: "He's definitely acting strangely. He seems more like a general leading troops into battle!"

"Yet he has a bandit-like spirit deep down..."

Sun Xin asked suspiciously, "Could it be a fellow member of another mountain tribe who was recruited by the imperial court?"

Sister-in-law Gu thought for a moment and said, "You know what, you really shouldn't say that..."

Meanwhile, the man sat by the window, frowning as he studied a map he couldn't understand.

"Clatter... clatter..." Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves came from outside. The man frowned and quickly opened the window to look out.

A troop of cavalry, about a dozen riders, arrived outside, all dressed in red robes and armor.

The leading general is truly remarkable!

He wore a three-tiered crown with gold and jade ornaments; his robe was adorned with brocade and floral patterns.

His armor was covered with a thousand fiery dragon scales, and his belt was tied with a red agate.

He rides a rouge-smeared horse like a dragon, wielding a vermilion-painted halberd.

The man's eyes lit up immediately when he saw this great general.

Remembering his brother-in-law's words and seeing the general's appearance, the man excitedly went out and asked:
"Is the visitor 'Little Marquis Wen' Lü Fang?"

"Uu——"

When "Little Marquis Wen" Lü Fang arrived at the scene, he was about to dismount and enter the Dongshan Hotel to inquire about Sister-in-law Gu's recent situation.

Unexpectedly, such a person rushed out of the Dongshan Hotel. Lu Fang, mounted on his horse, looked down at him and sized him up:

"I am 'Little Marquis Wen' Lü Fang. Who are you?"

Upon hearing that it was indeed him, the man went to the old tree without saying a word, untied his horse, and mounted it.

He removed the long object from the wing ring of the victorious bird, without untying it, and merely gave a cold laugh:
"If you can defeat the halberd in my hand, I will naturally tell you who I am!"

Lu Fang frowned: "You also want to challenge me?"

This incident stirred up long-buried memories for Lü Fang.

Back then, when he became an outlaw in Duiying Mountain, that bastard Guo Sheng insisted on taking over his stronghold.

Duiying Mountain consists of two mountains. Lü Fang suggested that he and Guo Sheng each take one mountain, but Guo Sheng refused.

As a result, Guo Sheng challenged Lü Fang every day.

The two were evenly matched in martial arts, and fought for more than ten days without a clear winner.

If Song Jiang hadn't passed by Duiying Mountain that day, and Hua Rong hadn't shot him and Guo Sheng into submission with an arrow, they might still be fighting one-on-one now...

Upon hearing this, the man realized that "Little Marquis Wen" Lü Fang was often challenged!

Daring to use the name "Little Marquis Wen" and being constantly challenged yet still alive and kicking, he truly lives up to his reputation!

"Not bad!"

The man shouted, "Do you dare to fight me for three hundred rounds?"

"Wa hahaha!"

Lu Fang laughed loudly, for he was now a completely different person!
Back then, he and Guo Sheng were evenly matched in strength.

But ever since he joined Song Jiang at Liangshan, he would go to Hua Rong for guidance whenever he had a problem.

Hua Rong had a special connection with him and was happy to give him pointers.

He was talented and hardworking, and in the blink of an eye, two and a half years had passed, and Lü Fang's strength had soared!
If he were to fight Guo Sheng one-on-one now, Lü Fang was confident that he could defeat Guo Sheng within fifty rounds!

Unfortunately, Guo Sheng and he had become buddies, so even when they were sparring, they couldn't really go all out.

Lu Fang had always wanted to find an opponent to test his strength, and that person arrived at just the right time.

With complete confidence, Lü Fang pointed his halberd at the man:
"Where would three hundred rounds be needed?"
"If I can't defeat you in fifty rounds, I'll admit defeat!"

Are you so crazy?
The man was startled and dared not be careless. He quickly unwrapped the cloth covering the halberd.

He opened the large package again, took out a set of armor, and put it on.

He wore a golden crown to tie his hair up, a battle robe adorned with a hundred flowers, and held a halberd in his hand, looking just like Lu Bu, the Marquis of Wen, reborn!

Sister-in-law Gu was watching the show from the sidelines, not thinking much of it at first, but when the man put on his full armor, Sister-in-law Gu's eyes widened:

"My lord, these two men look so alike?"

Sun Xin: "You know what, you really shouldn't say that..."

Lu Fang waited until he put on his armor and took a look, then his face darkened and he snorted coldly:
"Trying to imitate someone like Dong Shi only makes you a laughingstock!"

"If you are defeated today, I will make sure you can never wear this armor again, nor use the halberd!"

"Do you dare to bet?"
