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

Chapter 286 Niu Gao: I'd like to see just how valuable this distinguished guest is! [1st Update]

Cai Fu originally thought that Han Yiyun wouldn't go with him, since it would be easier for Han Yiyun to cause trouble if he left.

So Cai Fu deliberately didn't bring Shi Xiu, keeping Shi Xiu, this expert at catching adulterers, to catch Han Yiyun.

If Han Yiyun dares to cause trouble on the mountain while I'm not there, Shi Xiu will notify Lu Junyi to take him in.

Unexpectedly, Han Yiyun wanted to come with him. Cai Fu thought it was a good idea, it was just a different way to recruit him.

So what if Han Wu is criticized?

With Wu Song, Yue Fei, and Fang Jie in my own team, how could I not recruit him?
"Alright, just the two of you, that's the most I can do."

Cai Fu did some quick calculations and said, "We already have eight people. Any more and we'll become too big a target."

Fang Jie was very happy, but Cai Fu immediately reminded him:

"You can't wear that outfit; it's too flashy."

"All weapons and armor are in the carriage. Sixth Brother, you and Qian'er will ride in the carriage and be in charge of guarding the weapons."

Fang Jie was speechless.

Imagine how stylish he would look on the streets of Tokyo with that outfit!

Pity……

So, of the eight people in Cai Fu's group, except for Wu Song and Shi Qian who traveled by carriage, the others rode on horseback.

They walked for two days, covering about seventy or eighty li.

It was getting late, and Cai Fu tried to find an inn to rest, but couldn't, so he had to stay at a large manor.

If Yan Qing is present, he will knock on the door; if Yan Qing is not present, Shi Xiu will knock on the door.

Unfortunately, Yan Qing and Shi Xiu were not there. Cai Fu looked around and realized that it should be Niu Gao and He Yuanqing, the two younger ones, who should go knock on the door.

However, these two showed no awareness of their responsibilities as juniors and remained seated on their horses without moving.

Just as Cai Fugang was about to order the two of them around, Yue Fei had already dismounted and gone to knock on the door.

Yue Fei was a fair-skinned young man who was reasonable and unlikely to be rejected, but to his surprise, he was rejected as soon as he went up to him.

The servants at the gate of the manor looked miserable and said:
"We have distinguished guests at our door. Please find somewhere else to rest!"

Hey!

Just moments ago, Niu Gao and He Yuanqing sat motionless on their horses. Now, Niu Gao suddenly jumped off and shouted without any restraint:
"Passing travelers, if you need to stay the night, what's the big deal about shooting birds?"

"I'd like to see just how valuable this distinguished guest is!"

Yue Fei grabbed Niu Gao.

Niu Gao was about to rush in, but Yue Fei pulled him so he couldn't move!
Huh?
Niu Gao looked back at Yue Fei in disbelief.

Actually, he originally looked down on this pretty boy, Uncle Qi.

Whether it was Cai Fu, Lu Junyi, or Wu Song, Niu Gao respected all these uncles and elders.

Only Yue Fei, being the youngest and having a pretty face, made Niu Gao very resentful.

When Yue Fei was rejected by the servants, Niu Gao immediately stepped forward, wanting to prove that he was more capable than Yue Fei.

As a result, when Yue Fei, that pretty boy, pulled him, he couldn't move and only then did he realize that appearances can be deceiving.

Niu Gao's shout startled the farmhands, who hurriedly tried to dissuade him:
"Guest, please don't speak loudly!"

"If our distinguished guest were to blame us, the entire village would be wiped out!"

The servant had originally said that a distinguished guest had arrived at the house, and Cai Fu would have left if it weren't for Niu Gao's commotion.

Asking for lodging is a matter of asking for someone's help; if it's inconvenient for them, you can't force them.

Little did anyone know that Niu Gao's commotion would lead to the servants' words, making Cai Fu realize that things were not so simple.

Cai Fu asked him, "What kind of distinguished guest is this, so vicious?"

The servant glanced back timidly into the courtyard, then lowered his voice and said mysteriously:
"I'll tell you his name, and you'll be so scared you'll wet yourself!"

He was the King of Justice of Liangshan Marsh, with countless heroes under his command!

"Today he and a young man, riding two horses, passed by our house and asked to stay the night."

“My grandmother is entertaining them right now. I kindly advise you to leave so you don’t get into trouble.”

"Shh-"

Everyone turned to look at Cai Fu, who waved his hand to signal them to be quiet and asked the servant, "Who is the King of Justice?"

"You don't even know the King of Justice?"

The villagers looked at Cai Fu as if he were a country bumpkin:

"Do you know 'Iron Arm'? Do you know 'Sai Xuande'? Do you know 'Northern Blade King'?"

Cai Fu shook his head: "I don't know any of these people."

"This is a person!"

The villagers became increasingly convinced that Cai Fu was a country bumpkin.
"The King of Justice made a scene in Daming Prefecture three times and in Kaifeng Prefecture twice!"

"You're so arrogant and don't even know who this important person is..."

"Alright, alright, you should all leave now!"
"Don't offend our distinguished guest!"

"Pfft!"

Niu Gao and He Yuanqing, the two younger ones, couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Pfft, pfft!"

The servant was very unhappy: "You guests are so ignorant!"

"I kindly taught you this, and you still laugh at me?"

"To be honest, we are the heroes of Liangshan."

Cai Fu dismounted with a smile, put his arm around the servant's shoulder, and walked towards the courtyard gate:

"We have come here specifically to bring the King of Justice back to Liangshan Marsh."

The farmhand was stunned: "Ah, this..."

"We were just joking."

Cai Fu patted him on the shoulder:

“If you take us to see the King of Justice, you will surely receive a reward.”

Zhuang Ke couldn't help but shrink back, glancing furtively at Cai Fu, then at Wu Song, Niu Gao, Han Yiyun, and the others, all of whom looked fierce and menacing. He felt he had truly been blind.

So the servants had no choice but to cautiously lead Cai Fu and the others to the thatched hall. Before they even entered, they heard a shout and curse coming from inside:
"It's a blessing you've accumulated over many lifetimes that the master wants you to serve wine!"
"What's wrong with touching your hand? You dare to pull away?"

Another arrogant voice rang out: "If you dare to dodge again, I'll chop off your hand with one stroke!"

Then came the sound of a girl crying: "Waaah..."

Cai Fu frowned, shoved the servant aside, and strode inside.

They saw two men in the thatched hut ruthlessly forcing a young girl into a compromising situation.

The man was short and small, with a dark and thin face.

The other was younger, strong, with a short beard and big eyes.

The girl was in her prime and quite beautiful.

There was an old man lying on the ground nearby, who had obviously been kicked down.

The strong young man drew his sword halfway out, glaring at the girl with wide eyes and threatening to chop off her hand.

The short, dark-skinned man was reaching out to grab the girl, who retreated backward, tears streaming down her face.

"Still hiding?"

The short, dark-skinned man glared at her with his small eyes, then opened his arms and lunged forward to hug the girl!
"brute!"

A loud shout, and a flash of light from the blade!
The short, dark-skinned man's vision blurred; he felt as if a blade had flashed by, yet it also seemed not to...

But the next second, both of his arms broke off at the elbows!
Both forearms fell uncontrollably to the ground, and blood gushed from the severed limbs!

He then realized: there really had been a flash of light!
"what--"

After a two-second pause, the short, dark-skinned man suddenly erupted in a hysterical, piercing scream:

"my hand--"

"Shh-"

The strong young man hurriedly drew his waist knife, but then saw a flash of light and he was sent flying backward against his will!
