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

Chapter 360 How could an emperor be so shameless? [3rd update, please vote!]

"Say or not?"

Cai Fu's face darkened, and he rubbed the ghost-head broadsword against Kangli Ding'an's neck, drawing blood immediately.

Kangli Ding'an looked pitifully at Princess Tianshou: Are you just going to stand by and watch your uncle get stabbed?

I'm someone who values ​​family ties, so of course I couldn't just stand by and watch my uncle get stabbed!
Princess Tianshou closed her eyes: King Cai Diao, please!

You are such a filial daughter!

Kangli Ding'an asked Cai Fu helplessly:

"Brave warrior, if I tell you, will you spare my life?"

"Of course, you are the princess's maternal uncle."

Cai Fu said with a smile, "If we can avoid killing, of course we won't."

"Unless you're courting death."

Kangli Ding'an gritted his teeth and glared:
"Okay! I'll tell you!"
"I killed the stunt double with the Golden Horse sword!"

"hiss--"

Princess Tianshou gasped with her eyes closed:
Good heavens, it really is you!

Cai Fu stared into his eyes: "Why?"

"To... frame you!"

Kangli Ding'an sighed, ultimately succumbing to Cai Fu's sharp, piercing gaze:
"I will die at your hands. You cannot prove your innocence. The only way is to fight your way out of the Imperial Uncle's residence and escape back to the Song Dynasty..."

"Wait!"

Princess Tianshou couldn't help but interject:
"How can you be so sure that he can break out of the Emperor's brother's residence and escape back to the Song Dynasty?"

"You do not know?"

Kangli Ding'an looked at Princess Tianshou with a strange expression:

"The Northern Sword King is very famous!"
"First, he made a scene in Daming Prefecture three times, and then he made a scene in Kaifeng Prefecture three times!"

"He once escaped unscathed from being surrounded by 800,000 Imperial Guards!"

"How many soldiers does Mozhou have? Can they stop the Northern Sword King?"

Is this happening?

Princess Tianshou opened her eyes in disbelief and looked at Cai Fu:

Why have you never told me this?
Cai Fu glanced at her defiantly: "Do you think I should tell you about the 'Buddha's Palm' technique just because I've learned it?"

Can you please show me a little respect?

Kangli Ding'an felt wronged: No, in such a serious atmosphere, you two are still exchanging glances?
Sensing Kangli Ding'an's resentment, Cai Fu withdrew his gaze and looked at Kangli Ding'an:
"continue!"

Kangli Ding'an had already said so much, so he didn't care about this last bit of fuss:
"I am, after all, the emperor's brother-in-law!"
"When my sister begs the Wolf Lord for mercy, won't he avenge me?"

"Makes sense."

Kangli Ding'an's words were exactly what Cai Fu had expected:

"So why do you also want to provoke a war between Liao and Song?"

"Yes!"

Princess Tianshou angrily pressed on with her question:
"You're the emperor's brother-in-law, and your sister is the empress. What are you after?"

Kangli Ding'an shook his head with a wry smile: "Princess, did you see your aunt, cousin, and sister during your visit?"

"No……"

At this point, Princess Tianshou suddenly realized:
"Have my aunt, cousin, and sister been kidnapped?"

"exactly!"

Kangli Ding'an's eyes welled up with tears:

"They're in the hands of the Jurchens. If I disobey them, they'll all die!"

Princess Tianshou frowned deeply: "But Uncle, by faking your death to frame Prince Cai Diao, it's as if you were really dead..."

"I know!"

A bitter smile appeared on Kang Liding's lips:
But I have no choice!
"If I don't listen to the Jurchens, your aunt, cousin, and sister will all die!"
"I have to die too!"
"Besides, faking my death to frame Cai Fu isn't exactly a betrayal of the Wolf Lord."

"When the Wolf Lord and your mother got married, he told me the truth after he was drunk."

"He said he had a dream, which was to march south and conquer the beautiful world of the Central Plains. "However, the State of Song was like a grandson, paying tribute every year, so he had no excuse to march south."

"So I listened to the Jin people, which saved the lives of your aunt, cousin, and sister, and also helped the Wolf Lord awaken from his dream. It was a win-win situation!"

Good guy!
Cai Fu's mouth twitched twice secretly:

Are you sure the Wolf Lord isn't just bragging while drunk?

"Ah this..."

Kangli Ding'an hesitated for a moment: "No way, the Wolf Lord was a great ruler..."

"Don't you feel guilty saying that?"

Cai Fu chuckled: This Liao king Yelü Hui, in the original story, would be defeated by the Liangshan heroes and forced to surrender to the Song Dynasty in two years. How dare he call himself a great ruler?
For Princess Tianshou's sake, Cai Fu changed the subject:
"Besides, what makes you think this will provoke a war between the Liao and Song dynasties?"

"what?"

Kangli Ding'an's eyes widened in surprise:
"Won't they? The Wolf Lord will definitely lead his troops south for me!"

"Even so..."

Cai Fu sneered: "The Song emperor will immediately sue for peace, offering gold, silver, and my head!"

Princess Tianshou panicked: "No way! You managed to escape unscathed even surrounded by 800,000 chicken spirits!"

"The whole body! The whole body! The whole body!"

Cai Fu has to correct this: what kind of Song language is this little sister learning?
"The emperor of Song might not be capable of offering me his head."

"But the Song Kingdom is so big, with so many people, it shouldn't be difficult to find a head that looks like me, right?"
Have you ever heard of the story of "The Prince Replaced by a Civet Cat"?

Princess Tianshou: "Should we politely change tables?"

Cai Fu: "..."

How could an emperor be so shameless?

Kangli Ding'an was dumbfounded, and after a long while, he finally managed to utter a sentence:
"...That's none of my business, I'm already dead!"
"I have already taken my family and money, changed my name, and fled to a faraway place!"

"How wishful thinking!"

Cai Fu curled his lip, sheathed his ghost-headed broadsword, and then held it to Wuyan Yanshou's neck:

"now you!"

Wuyan Yanshou was originally watching a play, but unexpectedly he was suddenly dressed in a theatrical costume:

"Turn, what's my turn?"

Cai Fu sneered: "Didn't you specifically go to find the princess and bring her to the Imperial Uncle's study?"

Wu Yanshou said pitifully, "No, the princess came back and asked me where you went..."

ha?
Cai Fu subconsciously glanced at Princess Tianshou, whose face flushed slightly.
"I was just asking casually..."

Cai Fu looked completely bewildered: "So you mean you came back after leaving the banquet?"

"What did you go to do?"

Princess Tianshou's face turned even redder: Do I have to tell you even if I go to the toilet?

Well, that doesn't matter.

Cai Fu did not press the issue to get to the bottom of things, which in turn cleared Wuyan Yanshou's name.

As for what Wuyan Yanshou said to him later, he could say it was a misunderstanding, and that would be justifiable.

So Cai Fu laughed and effortlessly sheathed his ghost-headed broadsword:

"I see. I misunderstood you."

Wu Yanshou breathed a sigh of relief: He had finally survived another difficult day...

Seeing that the atmosphere had finally eased a bit, Kangli Ding'an couldn't help but ask:
"Brave warrior, there is something I do not understand..."

Cai Fu: "What is it?"

Kangli Ding'an asked unwillingly, "I thought I had done it perfectly, so where did I go wrong?"

His question revealed the true thoughts of Princess Tianshou and Wuyan Yanshou, and Princess Tianshou provided a helpful assist:
"Yes, why?"

Cai Fu chuckled: "It's very simple..."

[Don't worry, there's more to come. First, please give me some monthly tickets and recommendations!]
