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

Chapter 311 Li Ping'er: Is this even human?! [3rd update, please vote!]

The first session of the Liangshan Marsh Scholar-General Training Program has begun!

Professor Wen Huanzhang.

The first cohort of trainees includes: Lu Junyi, Lu Zhishen, Han Shizhong, Wu Song, Cai Qing, Yang Zhi, Zhang Shun, Shi Xiu, Yan Qing, Zhang Qing, Cao Zheng, Sun Li, Sun Xin, Le He, and Xuan Zan.

Under the personal supervision of class teacher Cai Fu, Wen Huanzhang gave the students an in-depth yet easy-to-understand explanation of "The Art of War".

Cai Fu audited a class and felt that Wen Huanzhang truly deserved to be called a private tutor with more than ten years of teaching experience.

Having taught unruly children for over a decade, Wen Huanzhang knew all too well how to impart knowledge to the illiterate.

Although some of the first batch of students were illiterate, they still listened with great interest.

Of course, there are definitely differences in intelligence. Take Lu Junyi for example, Cai Fu thinks we should learn as much as we can.

However, Cai Fu should have higher expectations for characters like Han Shizhong, Lu Zhishen, Yang Zhi, and Sun Li.

They were all officers, some even from military families, and after graduation, they were all capable of handling things independently.

Although Wu Song, Shi Xiu, and Cao Zheng came from humble backgrounds, they were intelligent and capable of learning real skills.

Although there were only fifteen spots available in the first phase, once the leaders found out, how could they not come and audit the classes?

Cai Fu didn't chase people away; his main approach was to let those willing to fish take the bait, like Jiang Taigong fishing.

As a result, people like Liu Tang, Ruan Xiaoqi, and Shi Jin were defeated on the spot.

Fang Jie, Yang Zaixing, and He Yuanqing listened with great interest.

To Cai Fu's surprise, Shi Qian was more enthusiastic than anyone else!
This guy was actually hanging upside down from the roof beam while listening!
Listening to lectures and practicing skills at the same time, without neglecting either!

After returning to Liangshan Marsh, Cai Fu was not idle. He practiced martial arts, sparred with others, attended classes, and drank wine, keeping himself very busy.

Finally, it got dark, and Cai Fu returned to his room, only to find a huge bathtub placed in the middle.

Jiao Ting was pouring hot water into the container bucket by bucket, while Li Ping'er was scattering flower petals into it from a flower basket.

Good guy!
Cai Fu had just wanted to take a bath, but he didn't expect Li Ping'er to be so thoughtful as to arrange it for him.

As for Jiao Ting, Cai Fucai didn't believe that guy could come up with such a plan; he himself was too lazy to even clean up the mess...

Tonight, Wu Song and Yang Zhi accompanied Cai Fu back. Upon seeing this, the two of them immediately left.

Li Ping'er thought Jiao Ting would also leave, but he didn't.

Although this fellow was rude, he was Cai Fu's close confidant.

While Li Ping'er was still figuring out how to get Jiao Ting out, Jiao Ting had already wrapped his hands in a wet towel and was scrubbing Cai Fu's back with a "crunching" sound...

Li Ping'er was almost in tears: "Master, Jiao Ting is so clumsy, let me rub your back instead!"

"Master, you need to work harder!"

Jiao Ting proudly showed off his massive arm:

"How much strength can you possibly have with those skinny arms of yours?"

Just as Li Ping'er was in despair, she suddenly heard Cai Fu say in a muffled voice:

"Let her try."

"what?"

Jiao Ting was frustrated, but Li Ping'er felt as if she had found a way out of a desperate situation!

Seeing that Li Ping'er was about to undress, Jiao Ting had no choice but to leave. Even close confidants can't just look at anything.

Overjoyed, Li Ping'er took a new towel, wrapped it around her little hands, and began to serve Cai Fu wholeheartedly.

Although she only got a trial opportunity, and only a trial opportunity to scrub Cai Fu's back, Li Ping'er felt as if she had obtained the greatest satisfaction in life!

……

Back in her room, Li Ping'er lay in bed, unable to sleep.

Keep in mind that she has never actually fought in a real battle.

Strictly speaking, aside from her father, this was the first time in her life that she had ever touched a man's skin.

Although it was just a back rub, Li Ping'er was already deeply impressed by Cai Fu's robust physique.

Is this guy even human?

In comparison, Cai Fu was like a giant bear, while she was like a weak and pitiful little white rabbit. She had already mustered her courage because her first task was to gain Cai Fu's trust.

The simplest and most direct way to give oneself away is to do so, but Cai Fu only asked her to rub his back.

After she finished rubbing, Cai Fu told her to leave.

Li Ping'er could clearly sense that Cai Fu also had needs, but Cai Fu forcefully restrained himself.

Li Ping'er didn't know why Cai Fu was restraining himself. Perhaps it was because she couldn't put Cai Fu's mind at ease yet.

But how could she reassure Cai Fu?
Li Ping'er stared wide-eyed until dawn...

As dawn broke, Li Ping'er felt sleepy.

I was just thinking of taking a nap, but I ended up sleeping until noon...

Having never served others before, Li Ping'er hurriedly got up and went outside to find a large crowd.

……

"Brother, all the spies are here!"

Shi Qian pointed to the rows of kneeling lackeys outside the courtyard.

There were all kinds of uniforms, including infantry, cavalry and navy.

Cai Fu glanced at them and saw that there were as many as fifty people!
All of this was discovered secretly by Shi Qian and his intelligence battalion; there were spies from the imperial court, as well as spies from Erlong Mountain...

Li Ping'er came out and immediately spotted her contact person, her heart skipped a beat!

Cai Fu knew she had come out, but he didn't turn around. He just glanced at the spies.

Sure enough, he discovered that there were two spies, and their expressions were strange after Li Ping'er came out.

"Qian'er, thank you for your hard work!"

Cai Fu waved his hand: "Drag him away and have my brothers execute him!"

Shi Qian bowed and agreed, and one hundred intelligence soldiers dragged the group of spies away to Cai Qing, two by two.

Upon hearing that they were to be beheaded, the group of spies cried out loudly, pledging their innocence.

Cai Fu ignored it; one cannot be soft-hearted in this kind of matter, otherwise it will cause a big mess.

Li Ping'er's two contacts also shouted, wanting to be tainted witnesses.

Even if others wanted to be tainted witnesses, they wouldn't have such a good opportunity. Li Ping'er was right there; all they had to do was expose her identity...

"Chief, she—"

Suddenly, a spy broke free from the restraints of the two intelligence soldiers, jumped up, pointed at Li Ping'er, and shouted!
Cai Fu shouted, "Slay!"

"Cha-"

Shi Qian appeared behind the spy like a ghost and swiftly slashed his throat with a single blow!

His signature bull-ear dagger was very sharp; it slit the spy's throat in one swift motion!

The spy covered his throat with one hand, pointed at Li Ping'er with the other, and stared wide-eyed!

He wanted to say something but couldn't utter a word; his mouth opened and closed several times, only blood and froth spurted out...

Li Ping'er was terrified!

She watched helplessly as the spy fell into a pool of blood, her legs gave way, and she collapsed to the ground with a thud...

At this moment, Li Ping'er's mind went blank.

She didn't know why Cai Fu wouldn't let the spy finish speaking.

That spy could have easily exposed her true identity with just one more word.

As the spy fell, Cai Fu turned back and glanced at her, his gaze carrying a profound meaning.

It's over!

Their eyes met, and Li Ping'er's heart felt like it was about to leap out of her throat:
He got it!

He knows everything!
