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

Chapter 305 Wu Song: I said I wouldn't be near women, and I meant it! [3rd Update]

Tokyo, Imperial Study.

"waste!
"It's all rubbish!"

Emperor Huizong of Song slammed the table down: (ノ益)ノ彡┻━┻

"A mere Liangshan Marsh, and a mere Sai Xuande, have stumped my entire court!"

Emperor Huizong was so angry that his whole body trembled:

"Tell me, what use do I have for them?"
"What use would I have for you?"

Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Yang Jian, and Gao Qiu, the four treacherous officials, were severely reprimanded by Emperor Huizong of Song and trembled with fear.

"Liangshan Marsh must be eradicated at all times; we cannot afford not to!"

Emperor Huizong of Song waved his hand angrily:

"Who do you think we should send to suppress them this time?"

"Shh-"

Cai Jing, Tong Guan, and Yang Jian all looked at Gao Qiu:

You caused this mess, so you have to take the blame!
"Your Majesty, calm down!"

Gao Qiu had no choice but to bite the bullet and go ahead:

"Your Majesty, the honey trap has been set, we are just waiting for the traitor Cai to take the bait!"
"Instead of mobilizing our troops, let's just sit back and wait for the honey trap to work, and then we'll have this traitor Cai completely under our control!"

"Humph!"

Emperor Huizong thought about it and agreed, since Li Ping'er had already been given away:

"I'm just waiting for your honey trap!"
"If even the honey trap doesn't work, I'll appoint you as commander-in-chief. Go and attack Liangshan Marsh!"

Gao Qiu: "Yes, yes, yes..."

Jin Dynasty, Huanglong Prefecture.

The strategist with eagle eyes, Hami Chi, looked up at the Fourth Prince Wuzhu with reverence:
His face was as red as charcoal, his hair as black as clouds, with bushy eyebrows, a long beard, a wide mouth, and round eyes!
He was ten feet tall and had a broad shoulder span!
At this time, Wuzhu had just returned from the military camp, fully armed:

He wore a golden elephant-trunk-inlaid helmet, its gold gleaming; two pheasant tails fluttered to the left and right.

He wore a bright red brocade robe with embroidered flowers, and an outer layer of gold armor inlaid with dragon scales.

He rode a four-hoofed, snow-red dragon-horse, and held a golden sparrow axe with a dragon-tail and phoenix-head design.

Like a mountain-splitting warrior, or a demon king incarnate!

Recalling how Wuzhu lifted the thousand-pound iron dragon with one hand, as if a god had descended to earth, Hami Chi couldn't help but feel his heart flutter:
This is the emperor he has decided will be the one to unify the world and become the greatest emperor of all time!
"I wonder what business Your Highness has with me..."

As Hami Chi spoke, his gaze suddenly sharpened. He noticed an old acquaintance among the group of barbarians behind Wuzhu.

An old acquaintance who shouldn't be here.

Sure enough, Wuzhu dismounted and beckoned the old acquaintance to his side:
"Strategist, look who this is!"

"Zhang Zhaonu?"

Hami Chi asked in surprise, "Weren't you captured by the Liangshan people?"
How did you get back?

Zhang Zhaonu was also surprised: "How did the strategist know that I had been captured by the Liangshan bandits?"

Hami Chi sighed: "I've figured out that Liangshanbo destroyed Zengtou City."

"There weren't enough people available at the time, so I couldn't save you..."

Zhang Zhaonu gritted his teeth and retorted, "So the strategist just abandoned me and Huang Bingnu and escaped alone?"

Hami Chi's expression changed, and he was about to explain when suddenly a golden light flashed before his eyes, and Zhang Zhaonu's head fell to the ground.
"Pfft!"

Zhang Zhaonu's eyes widened in disbelief; he clearly hadn't expected to die so suddenly...

Wuzhu tossed the Golden Sparrow Axe to the servant beside him and snorted coldly:
"Zhang Zhaonu has definitely been turned by the Southern Barbarians!"

"The strategist is a pillar of our Great Jin Kingdom. How dare he sow discord between me and the strategist? He deserves to die!"

Hami Chi's eyes welled up with tears, and he knew he hadn't misjudged the person!
"Thank you for your trust, Your Highness!"

Hami Chi lowered his head and covered his chest with his hands:
"Your Highness, I am willing to give my life for you!"

Cai Fu and his group had a smooth journey back to Liangshanbo. When they were still seventy or eighty li away from Liangshanbo, not far from the mountain and not far from Jingmen Town, they passed through the village they had left on their way out.

"Isn't this a coincidence?"

Niu Gao pointed to a large manor and said with a smile, "We shouldn't trouble two hosts when we have a guest. Why don't we go to their house for the night?"

It turns out that this large manor house was the home of Liu Taigong, where "Little Black Third Brother" impersonated Cai Fuqiang and kidnapped a woman.

Before Cai Fu could speak, the servants from the large manor came out and, seeing Cai Fu and his group, hurriedly came forward to greet them.

"This humble servant pays respects to the King of Justice!"

The King of Justice?

Yang Zaixing looked at Cai Fu in surprise; he didn't know his godfather had such a title!
Cai Fu had never told him this, and more importantly, he could tell that the servant was not afraid of Cai Fu!
It is reverence!

For heroes like them, it's easy to instill fear in the people, but it's incredibly difficult to earn their respect!
Cai Fu dismounted and helped the servant up. The servant said warmly:

"Your Majesty, our Grandfather already gave the order!"

"If Your Majesty returns and passes by my door again, I must invite Your Majesty in and treat you with the utmost hospitality!"

While he was talking to Cai Fu, other servants went in to inform Old Master Liu.

Before long, Old Man Liu came out as fast as he could, leaning on his cane, insisting on inviting Cai Fu in as a guest.

Cai Fu and his companions were already looking for a place to stay, and since Liu Taigong was so welcoming, they naturally couldn't refuse his hospitality.

So Cai Fu and his party entered Liu Taigong's house and were directly invited to the thatched hall, where they were treated to fine wine and food.

Yang Zaixing only learned that Cai Fu had saved Liu Taigong's daughter when Liu Taigong brought it up at the banquet.

However, Yang Zaixing had never heard Cai Fu mention it.

Using Cai Fu as a mirror, he saw his own youthful frivolity reflected in the image.

Recalling how he killed a few henchmen in Dafen Village, he wished he could tell the whole world about it...

Yang Zaixing was filled with shame.

Cai Fu's mind, however, was on Wu Song.

During the banquet, Wu Song was absent-minded, glancing around from time to time, and barely ate a few bowls of wine...

Cai Fu knew why Wu Song was distracted, but he didn't point it out. He just drank with Liu Taigong.

After several rounds of drinks and several dishes, Cai Fu deliberately asked Old Man Liu:

"Grandpa looks so worried, could it be that something is on his mind?"

Old Master Liu shook his head with a wry smile: "It's nothing, my daughter just caught a cold. I'm sorry for making Your Majesty laugh."

Cai Fu asked the question, and then looked at Wu Song, who started drinking heartily, pouring and drinking by himself without needing anyone to offer him a toast.

That night, Cai Fu and Wu Song slept side by side, and Cai Fu deliberately asked Wu Song:

"Seventh brother, what do you think of Miss Liu?"

Wu Song: "Snoring...snoring..."

Cai Fu shook his head helplessly. This brother was good in every way, except that he was too concerned about his image.

He says he's not interested in women, but he's clearly fallen for Miss Liu, yet he's still pretending!

However, Cai Fu was not in a hurry. This place was very close to Liangshan Marsh, and Wu Song could come anytime once he came to his senses.

Let's see how long Wu Song can keep up the act.

Silent all night.

The next morning, after having breakfast, Cai Fu and his companions bid farewell to Liu Taigong and returned to Liangshan Marsh.

I hadn't walked two steps from Liu Taigong's house when I was met by that gossipy village woman.

The gossipy woman asked with a grin, "What? You guys got scolded too?"

"also?"

Cai Fuxian turned around and winked at the children before asking the gossipy woman:

"What? You've been criticized and kicked out before?"

"Isn't it?"

The gossipy old woman pouted and said, "Old Master Liu asked me to find a suitable son-in-law for Miss Liu, and I've gone to great lengths to find one for him!"
"And guess what? I found one, and Miss Liu scolded him out of it!"

"I searched for all the talented young people in the surrounding area, but Miss Liu scolded them all!"
"Tell me, where does this kind of thing come from?"
