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

Chapter 302 If you do not abandon me, I will gladly become your godfather [3rd update, please subscribe]

Han Shizhong had called Cai Fu "brother" countless times, but this one "brother" was the most touching.

It seemed that this cry of "brother" had exhausted all his strength; he was panting heavily after he finished shouting.

Cai Fu stopped and turned around to look at him.

Han Shizhong rolled over and jumped off the bed, kneeling on the ground:
"If you do not abandon me, brother, I will follow you to the death..."

abandoned?
Only a fool would abandon such a renowned general who fought against the Jin dynasty!
Han Shizhong, like Yue Fei, was a brilliant military commander. After he grew up, he was able to take charge of a task independently and was able to be ennobled and appointed as a prime minister!
Moreover, Han Shizhong is almost at his full potential; he is much older than Yue Fei and is nearly thirty years old.

Cai Fu helped Han Shizhong up with both hands:

"Very well! In that case, I am willing to become sworn brothers with you!"

"From this day forward, we will never be apart, and we will be together through life and death!"

Han Shizhong was overjoyed, and tears welled up in his eyes:

"It's my wish, but I don't dare to ask for my ear!"

So Cai Fu called Wu Song and Yue Fei in, and the four of them became sworn brothers.

Han Shizhong was two years younger than Shi Wengong and two years older than Wu Song.

Therefore, Han Shizhong was ranked sixth, Wu Song seventh, and Yue Fei eighth.

After the sworn brotherhood was formed, Han Shizhong truly integrated into the group and could finally call Cai Fu "brother" with a clear conscience.

Han Shizhong was left to rest in the room, while Cai Fu, Wu Song, and Yue Fei went downstairs to continue their drinking.

"What a load of rubbish, a timely rain!"

Tang Niu'er had drunk several bowls of wine and was cursing Song Jiang with his brothers:

"Song Heizi has absolutely no sense of loyalty!"
"Back when I was in Yuncheng County, I did odd jobs for Song Heizi and earned a few strings of cash in return!"

"I saw that he was generous and thought he was a good person. When he needed my help, I rushed forward with all my might!"

"He killed his mistress Yan Poxi, and was arrested by Yan Poxi and brought to the county government to plead his innocence. It was I who kept Yan Poxi occupied for him!"

"He got away, why would he care whether I live or die?"

"Only then did I realize that he always talked about brotherhood and loyalty, but he was just trying to trick heroes into risking their lives for him!"
"Song Heizi can be considered a number one hero of the martial arts world?"
"Besides his harlot Yan Poxi, who else can he beat?"

The brothers listened with great interest and laughed heartily, finally allowing Tang Niu'er to vent his pent-up resentment.

He had been wandering the martial arts world for so many years, and he didn't even have anyone to talk to.

The main problem is that Song Jiang has such a good reputation in the Jianghu (江湖, the world of martial arts and outlaws). If someone says something bad about Song Jiang, they will instead come and criticize him...

Wen Huanzhang, fanning himself with a goose feather fan, listened with a smile. When he saw Cai Fu coming downstairs, he got up and walked towards the door.

Wu Song and Yue Fei sat down to drink, while Cai Fu, understanding the unspoken message, followed Wen Huanzhang out.

When they reached the open space outside the hotel, Wen Huanzhang slowed down and waited for Cai Fu to catch up so they could walk side by side.

“Brother, this Tang Niu’er is very useful.”

Wen Huanzhang covered his mouth with a goose feather fan and whispered his suggestion:
"Although he is not good at fighting, he has done Song Jiang a favor, so why not send him to Erlong Mountain?"

"It was only said that he came to seek refuge with Song Jiang, and Song Jiang, being a hypocrite, had no choice but to take him in even if he was unwilling."

"Not only should we take him in, but we should also give him important positions, at least a seat in a high-ranking position."

"When Tang Niu'er is on Erlong Mountain, he'll spread the word about how Song Jiang treated him, and the people of Erlong Mountain will fall apart..."

Cai Fu's eyes lit up, and he gave a strong thumbs-up:

"Military Advisor, great!"

Wen Huanzhang humbly covered his mouth with a goose feather fan and laughed:
"It's a small skill, nothing worth mentioning."

After discussing the matter, Wen Huanzhang went back to his room, while Cai Fu returned to the table to continue drinking with his brothers.

Niu Gao is mocking He Yuanqing:
"In other words, your eldest uncle and sixth, no, seventh uncle smashed the suspension bridge with your hammer!"
"The suspension bridge is broken, the hammer is yours, but you have nothing to do with this?"

"You know nothing!" He Yuanqing emphasized, his face flushed and neck bulging.
"This is because my uncle cares for me!"

"I was originally going to go, but my uncle said I'm still growing and he was afraid that I would overexert myself and damage my body!"
"You have no idea how good my uncle is to me. He teaches me how to be a good person and takes good care of my health!"

"Those two beasts, Cao Cheng and Cao Liang, only know how to teach me to do bad things, and they treat me like livestock!"

Just then, Cai Fu walked in, and He Yuanqing, emboldened by the alcohol, knelt down with a "plop":

"My nephew is an orphan, ignorant and naive. If he hadn't met his uncle, who knows what kind of mess he would have become!"
"If you, Uncle, do not mind, I am willing to become your godfather!"

"it is good!"

Although it was a bit sudden, Cai Fu accepted it gladly.

He Yuanqing is a capable and obedient boy with no ill intentions; he's also a staunchly loyal subject, perfect for assisting his son in the future.
"You are destined to be with me, so I will take you as my godson!"

He Yuanqing was very happy and swore on the spot:

"Godfather above, I will follow Godfather from now on!"

"Through fire and water, no matter what!"

"There's no need to go through fire and water, just tell me first—"

Cai Fu's face darkened: "Who told you to drink?"

"Ah this..."

He Yuanqing was dumbfounded. Cai Fu had said that he was only ten years old and not allowed to drink alcohol. He quickly pointed at Niu Gao:
"My senior brother invited me to drink!"

"Ok?"

Cai Fu glared at Niu Gao: "Who told you to drink?"

Niu Gao was dumbfounded. Cai Fu had said that one was only allowed to drink alcohol after turning fourteen, but he couldn't resist sneaking a taste because of his craving...

Seeing that even pledging allegiance to a godfather wouldn't work on He Yuanqing, Niu Gao decisively dragged others into the mess, pointing at Yang Zaixing and Luo Yanqing and shouting:
"Uncle, those two are about my age!"

"Those two drank too!"

Yang Zaixing and Luo Yanqing: (_)(_)
Yue Fei, now fourteen, secretly rejoiced at escaping death and transformed from a dragon-slaying hero into a dragon himself.

"You're all being very indulgent while we elders are away!"
"Brother, he must be severely punished as a warning to others!"

As a result, He Yuanqing, Niu Gao, Yang Zaixing, and Luo Yanqing were all punished by being forced to face the wall until sunset.

Han Shizhong went to sleep after dinner, but woke up suddenly in the middle of the night and slammed his fist on the bed.
"I'm so damn bad..."

……

The next day, Cai Fu set off back to Liangshan Marsh.

Han Shizhong and Wen Huanzhang rode in the same carriage and chatted along the way.

As they chatted, the conversation drifted to themselves, and Han Shizhong said with annoyance:

"Strategist, I don't know why I offended Gao Yanei!"
"I've never met Gao Yanei before, so why does he hate me so much?"

Wen Huanzhang gave him a hint:
"Chief Shi went to Tokyo yesterday to investigate."

"The news brought back was that the government troops surrounded Tongfu Inn the night before, and it took them a full half hour to break into Tongfu Inn and arrest people."

"Brother Han, why did the government troops delay for half an hour on such an important matter?"

Han Shizhong was taken aback: "Half an hour? What are they waiting for?"

He was ultimately a brilliant strategist. After pondering for a long time, Han Shizhong suddenly slapped his thigh:
"Could they be waiting for Gao Yanei?"

"Gao Yanei was assigned by Grand Commandant Gao to be the commander of the Dragon God Guard!"
"I understand, he's trying to take credit for my work!"

After combining all the clues, Han Shizhong finally figured out the truth, and he was so enraged that his eyes were bloodshot.
"You corrupt official Gao Qiu, I will never let you live under the same sky!"
