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

Chapter 271 Cai Fu: He's slandering me! [2 Updates]

"You misspoke!"

Cai Fu slapped his forehead: "I was asking about Xingren Prefecture."

The journey from Tokyo to Jeju involves passing through Heungin Prefecture, Han Yiyun replied with surprise and uncertainty:

"It's always sunny..."

Cai Fu nodded: "That would be best."

"I'm going to Tokyo in a couple of days to see an old friend from the martial arts world."

Han Yiyun's heart skipped a beat again:
"I wonder what the name of this old friend from the martial arts world you mentioned is?"
"I'm from Tokyo, so perhaps we know each other."

Cai Fu chuckled and waved his hand:

"It would be bad if you knew her; I was talking about a close female friend."

"Ah this..."

Han Yiyun was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter:
Even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman; the land of gentle pleasures is a hero's grave!
It turns out that Sai Xuande's weakness is lust!
Han Yiyun had long heard that Cai Fu had several female confidantes.

Besides Princess Jinzhi of the Southern Kingdom, there was also Lu Junyi's sworn sister, Qiu Qiongying.

By the way, Cai Fu's female disciple, Hu Sanniang, was also exceptionally beautiful.

Now Cai Fu has mentioned having a close female friend in Tokyo. If we can make good use of Cai Fu's weaknesses...

Han Yiyun was very happy. He made an excuse that he couldn't hold his liquor and went home to rest. When he got home, he wrote a little note.

After rolling up the small note and stuffing it into a bamboo tube, Han Yiyun sneaked out of the house.

There are two trees on the left and right sides of Han Yiyun's house, one is a jujube tree and the other is also a jujube tree.

Taking advantage of the darkness and the absence of anyone around, Han Yiyun swiftly climbed up the jujube tree on the left.

There is an abandoned bird's nest on a branch of this jujube tree, about two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters) above the ground.

Han Yiyun stuffed the bamboo tube into the bird's nest, climbed down the jujube tree, and sneaked back home.

After Han Yiyun went inside, a large black rat emerged from the shadows in the corner and climbed up the jujube tree.

This big black rat climbed the tree much faster than Han Yiyun; it leaped up like a big black monkey in an instant.

The big black monkey pulled a bamboo tube from the bird's nest, then jumped down quietly, landing without a sound.

The big black monkey turned back into a big black rat and, under the cover of night, darted towards Cai Fuju's direction.

Cai Fu put his left arm around Lu Junyi and his right arm around Wu Song, and the three brothers walked home arm in arm, chatting and laughing.

When I got to my front door, a big black rat suddenly darted out of the doorway!

Fortunately, Cai Fu and the others were already used to it. Wu Song asked with a smile:
"Qian'er, is there some good news?"

Shi Qian chuckled and handed a bamboo tube to Cai Fu.

Cai Fu pushed open the courtyard gate: "Come in and talk."

So the four of them went inside, closed the door, went to the bedroom, lit candles, and Cai Fu read the little note.

At first glance, Cai Fu's originally serious expression turned into something else entirely:
"He's slandering me! He's slandering me!"

What nonsense are you being slandered about?
Lu Junyi took it with great interest, glanced at it, and then handed it to Wu Song with a strange expression.

Wu Song took it and immediately spat it out:

"How dare you say my older brother is a lecher?"
"What the hell did this guy investigate?"

Lu Junyi shrugged: "Big Brother sleeps with us brothers every night, how could he be lustful?"

You can't say that!

Cai Fugang was about to correct Lu Junyi when Shi Qian started to make a clever joke:
"Brother, how about I change it for him?"

"Stop it!"

Cai Fu waved his hand: "It's fine as it is. Anyway, no important information has been revealed."

"Take it back to them, keep a close eye on them, and see who leaked the message."

Shi Qian stuffed the small note back into the bamboo tube, informed Cai Fu and the others, and slipped out of Cai Fu's house.

There was no way around it; it was a habit ingrained from his profession over decades. Shi Qian felt like a thief even when he went back to his own home.

Before long, Shi Qian stuffed the bamboo tube back into the bird's nest in the jujube tree to the left of Han Yiyun's door. Then Shi Qian stopped moving, climbed up three feet, and, as if transformed into an owl, perched on a branch, keeping watch.

Around midnight, a shadowy figure came up and climbed the jujube tree to steal birds' nests.

Shi Qian looked down at him from his high vantage point, memorized his appearance, and watched him leave.

Meanwhile, Cai Fu, Lu Junyi, and Wu Song also slept together, still talking about Han Yiyun.

Wu Song asked curiously, "Brother, since that tiger coming down the mountain dares to cause trouble, why don't you let me kill it?"

Cai Fu chuckled: "No rush, let's play along with him."

"Sixth Brother, there's no need to worry!"

Lu Junyi picked at his toes and said:

"That bastard won't escape from Big Brother's grasp!"

Cai Fu casually pulled a thin bamboo strip from the bamboo mat, intending to put it in his mouth, but then threw it away.

I did chew on one before, but the bamboo mat was new then; now so many big men have slept on it...

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Cai Fu thought for a moment and said, "In a couple of days, we'll go to Longtou City to visit Mr. Zhou and my fifth and seventh brothers."

"It's been a long time since I've been there, and I wonder how Longtou City is doing."

Lu Junyi and Wu Song both agreed, and the conversation drifted off into the night, the three brothers chatting until late into the night before finally going to sleep...

……

Longtou City.

A burly man with a ferocious face rode in front, followed by a man with eagle eyes.

The eagle-eyed man rode a tall horse, his eyes lowered, as if lost in thought while traveling.

Behind Hawkeye were two burly men, flanking him on the left and right.

The burly, menacing man in front saw the Three-Forked River Port and turned back to warn the eagle-eyed man:

"Strategist, we've arrived at Zengtou City!"

The eagle-eyed man gave an "oh," pulling himself out of his thoughts and looking ahead.

The old master's seemingly casual move back then, I wonder what's become of it now; perhaps it will come in very handy later.

To his surprise, instead of village women washing clothes by the river, there were two burly men bathing naked in the river.

The hawk-eyed man's gaze sharpened: "Something's wrong! Something's happened in Zengtou City!"

The burly, ferocious man stared at the two men and said, "Strategist, shall I go and capture those two and interrogate them?"

"Don't alert the enemy."

The eagle-eyed man pondered for a moment:

“We’ll go ask around and see how things go. You guys just have to read my signals.”

The three burly men responded in unison, and then the four of them calmly walked to the Sanchahe Port.

Behind the eagle-eyed man were two burly men, one with thick eyebrows and small eyes, his eyebrows as black as ink, but his eyes as small as mung beans.

The other one had no eyebrows, and the area above its eyes was bald, but it had a pair of large, bell-like eyes.

The eyebrowless giant felt he was more approachable, so he went to the riverbank and asked the two giant men bathing there:
"Young man, could you tell me how to get there to buy a horse?"

The two burly men taking a bath pointed to the middle road among the three forks in the road and said:

"Keep going straight to the end and you'll reach the horse market."

Or is it the horse market?

The eagle-eyed man frowned and interjected:
"This is our first time here. Is this still Zengtou City?"

The two burly men taking a bath said in unison, "It's a duck, it's a duck."

"Young men, we're new here and don't know how to buy horses."

The eagle-eyed man pulled out a handful of copper coins:
"If you can help us find our way, this money is our way of thanking you."
