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

Chapter 263 He Yuanqing: It's Just a Case of Officials Forcing the People to Revolt [2 Updates]

"what--"

The village woman instinctively opened her arms, wanting to hug Cai Fu, but Cai Fu slapped her away!
At the same time, the broad, thick, and heavy demon-head sword swung down!
"when!"

With a clang of metal on metal, the Ghost Head Broadsword cleaved through the Plain Sword and then, in the process, cleaved through Cao Liang!
"Pfft!"

Cao Liang stared in disbelief at Cai Fu, his head lolling to the side, and his entire body was torn apart from his neck!
Because the broadsword is meant to split the broadsword, the splits are not as precise or even.

However, the ghost-headed broadsword still managed to cleave Cao Liang from the neck down to the waist.

As Cai Fu drew his ghost-head broadsword, Cao Liang's upper body was split in two, his internal organs and blood flowing freely...

As for Cao Cheng, after shouting "Go!", Cao Liang rolled forward, but he rolled backward.

He rolled to the wall in one go, and no one knows what mechanism Cao Cheng pressed, but a small door opened in the wall.

Cao Cheng rolled out through the side door... halfway through.

"Pfft!"

Hu Sanniang reacted quickly, sending the moon blade flying!

The crescent-shaped blade, resembling a wolf's fang, spun rapidly and caught up with Cao Cheng!
It pierced right into Cao Cheng's lower back!

Qi Bing plunged in, pinning him to the ground!

Cai Fu had already cut off Cao Liang's head, and then dragged Cao Cheng in and cut off his head as well.

One advantage of having long hair is that you can simply pull out a bun, put the two heads together, and carry them away.

When they went outside, they saw that Jie Zhen and Jie Bao were fighting with their henchmen against the henchmen of Wutong Mountain.

Cai Fu raised Cao Cheng and Cao Liang's heads high and said in a booming voice:
Cao Cheng and Cao Liang are dead.

"Those who refuse to surrender will be killed—"

The lackeys of Wutong Mountain were never as good at fighting as the lackeys of Liangshan Marsh.

The main force of Cai Fu's side consisted of government troops, but they were also trained by serious generals such as Guan Sheng, Lu Zhishen, Suo Chao, Sun Li, and Yang Zhi.

As the saying goes, a cowardly soldier is a cowardly individual, but a cowardly general leads to a cohort of cowards.

Of course, it was the underlings of Liangshan who were beating the underlings of Wutong Mountain.

The henchmen of Wutong Mountain only managed to avoid collapse because of their large numbers.

However, when Cai Fu showed off the heads of Cao Cheng and Cao Liang, the morale of the henchmen of Wutong Mountain collapsed immediately.

"Crash la la la..."

One by one, the henchmen of Wutong Mountain dropped their weapons, knelt on the ground, and declared their surrender.

Then Jie Zhen and Jie Bao counted the number of people and found that there were more than a thousand surrendered soldiers.

Cai Fu patted Jie Zhen and Jie Bao on the shoulder and said appreciatively:
"You two brothers deserve the credit for this surprise attack on Wutong Mountain!"

Xie Zhen and Xie Bao were very excited. They had been on Liangshan for so long, but Song Jiang had never given them a major credit before.

Although they had done similar things before, the Liangshan Marsh under Song Jiang's rule had become rigidly hierarchical.

Once the order of the 108 heroes is established, no matter how great your achievements, your ranking will not change.

Back then, the only reason I was still willing to fight so hard was because of my love for Brother Song Jiang or for the Song Dynasty.

"Burn down Dazhai!"

Cai Fu ordered his henchmen to set fire to relieve pressure on Lu Zhishen and Fang Jie, who were attacking from the front.

His plan was for Lu Zhishen and Fang Jie to launch a frontal attack, while he would lead a surprise attack on the Wutong Mountain stronghold.

However, at least 1,500 troops were deployed on the main battlefield, along with a fierce general like He Yuanqing...

Cai Fu was worried that Lu Zhishen and Fang Jie wouldn't be able to handle this big fish, so he set fire to the Wutong Mountain army to disrupt their morale.

Then Cai Fu personally led his henchmen down the mountain, only to run into them before they reached the halfway point.

"Big brother-"

Lu Zhishen walked excitedly at the front of the group, carrying his deformed monk's staff. He waved to Cai Fu, then turned back to He Yuanqing, who was obediently following behind him, and said:

"Disciple, call him Uncle!"

He Yuanqing then waved to Cai Fu:
Uncle—

Good guy!
They've all started taking on apprentices themselves?

Cai Fu saw a completely unfamiliar face. Although he didn't know who it was, he inexplicably felt that it must be He Yuanqing. Sure enough, after the victorious reunion, Cai Fu asked and found out that it really was He Yuanqing, a mere ten-year-old boy.

Cai Fu was worried that Lu Zhishen and his men wouldn't be able to defeat him, but unexpectedly, Lu Zhishen beat He Yuanqing into submission!

Moreover, they also gathered more than a thousand surrendered soldiers!

Cai Fu gave a thumbs up: "Third brother, awesome!"

Lu Zhishen laughed heartily, while Fang Jie, standing to the side, felt humiliated and secretly vowed to pull a bigger one next time!

No, let's go for the big one!

Ok?
Cai Fu noticed that He Yuanqing's mood was off.

Following He Yuanqing's gaze, one could see the heads of Cao Cheng and Cao Liang hanging on the flagpole.

He Yuanqing stood there blankly, his eyes brimming with tears.

Patting Lu Zhishen on the shoulder, Cai Fu walked to He Yuanqing's side:

"Yuanyuan, what's wrong?"

He Yuanqing sniffed:

"Although they've been using me, they've also been playing along with me..."

"Without them, I might still be lingering in the market, fighting with children for steamed buns..."

Cai Fu frowned: "So you think they shouldn't have died?"

He Yuanqing shook his head: "I don't know."

"They didn't do anything wrong, it was just that the officials forced the people to rebel..."

"They didn't do anything wrong?"

Cai Fu gave him a strange look and beckoned for someone to take the two heads off the flagpole.

Cai Fu pulled He Yuanqing along, carrying the two severed heads in a tattered cloth bag.

"Let's go for a walk."

He Yuanqing was in a bad mood and didn't want to go out, but Cai Fu pulled him along and he couldn't help but follow.

Good guy!
He Yuanqing looked at Cai Fu with disbelief:

I never expected my uncle to be so strong!
Originally, He Yuanqing thought that his superhuman strength must be the venom of a scorpion!

Unexpectedly, Lu Zhishen was born with superhuman strength, and Cai Fu was also incredibly strong; even Fang Jie could lift his hammer...

When Lu Zhishen saw Cai Fu taking He Yuanqing out, he quickly followed, lest He Yuanqing, being ignorant, try to provoke Cai Fu.

Hu Sanniang, as a disciple, followed along, and the four of them descended the mountain.

When the four men arrived at the village on horseback, the setting sun was like blood, making it seem as if the ruins were submerged in a sea of ​​blood.

Do you know where this is?

Cai Fu asked He Yuanqing, who looked around:

"I don't know, it seems like the village was ravaged by fire?"

Where did everyone go?

Cai Fu didn't say anything, and continued to lead him forward. When they were almost at the end of the village, they could see a patch of fire in the distance.

By this time, it was already dark, so dark that even though Cai Fu and He Yuanqing were right next to each other, their faces were not clearly visible.

So that patch of firelight was particularly dazzling, and sparks were swirling and flying into the sky in the wind.

He Yuanqing exclaimed, "Huh? Who's trying to keep warm?"

God the hell is trying to keep warm!
Cai Fu's lips twitched subtly twice, but he said nothing and led He Yuanqing toward the firelight.

Upon getting closer, He Yuanqing discovered that it was an elderly man with white hair burning paper money in front of a small hill.

There was so much paper money that the old man threw handfuls into the fire, making the flames look like a fire.

Cai Fu glanced at He Yuanqing:

"Yuanyuan, go ask that old man where this is."
