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

Chapter 365 Lu Zhishen: Reincarnation of a God or Buddha? HE—TUI! [1st Update]

The abbot's room at the Demon-Suppressing Temple.

Master Yuantong held the hand of a young woman whose identity he didn't recognize, looking her up and down, left and right, and sizing her up and down:
"No rush, let me read your face first."

"Madam, please forgive my bluntness, but you are a blessed woman who brings good fortune to her husband."

"Since you married into your husband's family, the family has been thriving and prosperous."

"only……"

The lady was initially delighted, but became somewhat displeased upon hearing the word "only":
"Just what?"

Master Yuantong sighed: "It's bad for the lady."

"Moreover, this old monk observes that the lady does not seem happy..."

The lady grew anxious: "I am indeed unhappy every single day!"
"Master, how can you possibly harm me?"

"You look like you're in a hurry."

Master Yuantong, with a kind and benevolent expression, said:
"Let me examine your bone structure to determine where the problem lies."

"Come on, take off your clothes first."

"boom--"

The lady had just undressed halfway when the door was kicked open!
A fat monk carrying a staff stormed in aggressively!
Master Yuantong was completely bewildered: Whose subordinate is this?

Lu Zhishen was the first to burst into the abbot's room, just in time to witness this sordid scene, and was immediately enraged:
"Bald monk, you dare to call yourself abbot?"

"call--"

Lu Zhishen cursed loudly as he swung his 108-pound water-milled iron staff!
Master Yuantong's life was spared, and the staff struck his right shoulder!

With a sharp crack, Master Yuantong's entire arm was smashed to pieces!
The lady screamed, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted on the spot!

Master Yuantong broke out in a cold sweat from the pain, hurriedly pulled a knife from under the prayer mat, and cursed loudly:
"Bald monk, take this!"

Master Yuantong was also skilled in martial arts, but he was caught off guard and Lu Zhishen struck first.

He held the knife in his left hand, jumped up and slashed at Lu Zhishen, but Lu Zhishen dodged and swung a shovel instead!

The sharp crescent-shaped blade slashed hard across Master Yuantong's knee, severing his lower leg instantly!
"Amitabha!"

Master Yuantong immediately lost his balance and fell to the ground. Now he finally understood how dangerous it was.

"Master, spare me! Master, spare me!"

"Shh-"

The sharp crescent moon locked onto his neck, and Lu Zhishen sneered:
"An enlightened monk? A reincarnation of a god or Buddha? HE—TUI!"

A glob of phlegm sprayed onto Master Yuantong's face, and Master Yuantong burst into tears:
"It's just a boast, it's just a boast from this old monk..."

Cai Fu was only one step behind Lu Zhishen when he came in and this was the result.

Cai Fu glanced casually at the naked, unconscious woman lying on the ground, and curled his lip:
Ordinary goods!
"Sir, count to three."

Cai Fu smiled and looked down at Master Yuantong, who lay in a pool of blood:
"Tell me your true identity—"

"three!"

Master Yuantong was greatly alarmed and hurriedly said:

"My name is Labu, and I was originally a centurion in the Great Jin Kingdom!"

"The higher-ups saw that I was eloquent and quick-witted, so they shaved my head and sent me here to be a spy!"

"The main focus is on the Emperor's brother-in-law, Kangli Ding'an..."

That's it!

Cai Fu knew immediately that he had found the right person:

"Where is the family of Kangli Ding'an, the emperor's brother-in-law?"

Master Yuantong bled so much that his face turned pale.

"If I tell you, will you spare my life?"

Cai Fu and Lu Zhishen exchanged a quick glance and laughed:

"I promise I won't kill you!"

Master Yuantong gritted his teeth and glared:
"Kangli Ding'an's children are in the cellar below the abbot's room!"

"The lady is blah blah blah..."

Following Master Yuantong's instructions, Cai Fu lifted the bed board and found a cellar underneath.

When Cai Fu went down to take a look, he saw two children huddled together, shivering, like two little quails.

The little boy was still holding half a spoiled steamed bun in his hand...

Beast!
Cai Fu had seen many news stories like this before he traveled through time, but he never expected that there would be such venomous women in this era!
Tiger poison doesn’t even eat seeds!
The two children screamed in fright when they saw Cai Fu, and Cai Fu picked them up, one in each arm, and comforted them gently.

"I was sent by your father to rescue you. Don't worry, you're all safe!"

The two children had been locked in the cellar for who knows how many days. They defecated and urinated in the cellar, which was hot and stuffy and they couldn't take a bath. They were covered in stench.

Cai Fu didn't mind and carried them out of the cellar.

When Lu Zhishen saw the two children looking so pitiful, he was furious and went up to hit them with his shovel again!

Master Yuantong has completely lost both of his lower legs, and he's only missing his left arm before he becomes a human stick!

Master Yuantong cried and pleaded, "Master, you promised you wouldn't kill me!"

"What are you crying for? I didn't kill you!"

Lu Zhishen stormed out with Cai Fu, only to see Shi Wengong beating up a strong man!

It turned out that the strong man who had been having an affair with the Empress Dowager's wife in the secret room came out and bumped into Shi Wengong.

Shi Wengong is chasing after the warrior monks of Zhenyao Temple. These warrior monks are strong and powerful, and they are obviously elite soldiers who have been promoted to the rank of warrior.

However, even elite soldiers of their caliber were no match for Shi Wengong, who slaughtered them indiscriminately!

A burly man carrying a large knife came out and bumped into them, shouting:
"Hey you, take this!" *Swish—*

The burly man swung his sword at Shi Wengong, but Shi Wengong flicked it with his spear, sending the man's sword flying!
Watt hair?
The strong man's face changed drastically, and he turned to run, but Shi Wengong raised his hand and pierced his calf with a spear!

"Om-"

Shi Wengong swung his spear, and the spearhead vibrated violently in the calf of the strong man!
With a loud "bang," the strong man's calf exploded!
It was fried until it was a bloody mess, and even the bones were shattered!
The strong man screamed and fell to the ground. Shi Wengong swung his spear and smashed it into his other leg!
"Oh!"

Another explosion rang out, and the strong man's other calf was smashed to pieces, with the bones shattered!
Shi Wengong pressed the spearhead against the back of the burly man's neck and demanded sharply:

"Tell me, who are you?"

Even a strong, muscular man is a man, he said through gritted teeth:

"I won't tell you even if you kill me!"

Cai Fu came over with Lu Zhishen, carrying two children:

"Fifth brother, he is probably the Jin Dynasty's Marshal, the Falcon-Eyed Gentleman!"
"He's the one who seduced the Empress Dowager!"

The burly man stared wide-eyed in disbelief: "How did you know...?"

Upon seeing the two children in Cai Fu's arms, the burly man suddenly realized what was happening and flew into a rage:
"That guy confessed everything?"

Cai Fu handed the two children to Lu Zhishen, then grabbed the hawk-eyed young man by the neck:
"Tell me, where is the Empress Dowager?"

The eagle-eyed young man knew he couldn't keep this a secret. If he didn't say anything, Cai Fu would just have to spend a little more time searching.

So this time, the Falcon-Eyed Gentleman didn't stubbornly refuse and readily pointed Cai Fu in the direction of the secret room.

Cai Fu carried the Falcon-Eyed Gentleman to the secret chamber. At the door, Cai Fu stopped and instructed Lu Zhishen:
"Third brother, you keep watch outside."

What's so great about looking at the wind?

Lu Zhishen was bewildered, holding the two children, but since Cai Fu had given the order, he obediently did as he was told.

Cai Fu carried the Falcon-Eyed Gentleman and Shi Wengong inside, and immediately saw the naked Empress Dowager.

Who are you people?!

The Empress Dowager's wife, who had been lying sprawled on the bed, was so startled that she sat up abruptly!

Upon seeing that the hawk-eyed young man had lost both legs, she froze for two seconds, then suddenly, with tears in her eyes, pointed at him and cursed:

"You beast, you've finally met your match!"

The eagle-eyed young man was dumbfounded:

What happened to the promise, "I've abandoned everything to be with you, my love, you must never betray me"?

What happened to the promise, "My lord, please be careful, my life is in your hands"?

Is this my fault?
The Empress Dowager's wife glared at him defiantly:
Who told you not to pay attention to safety!
"Thank you, heroes!"

The Empress Dowager quickly turned to Cai Fu, looking pitiful, and said:

"I am the wife of the Emperor's brother-in-law!"
"I came to the Demon-Suppressing Temple to fulfill a vow and was spotted by this scoundrel, who forcibly imprisoned me here!"
"I am powerless and unable to resist, but fortunately I was saved by the two heroes!"

"Once we return to the Imperial Uncle's residence, I will certainly inform him and reward these two heroes handsomely!"

"puff--"

The eagle-eyed young man was so angry he almost vomited blood.
"You wretch! Today you still boast that I am as strong as an ox and a hundred times stronger than the Emperor's brother-in-law!"
"How did you become so powerless and unable to resist?"

"You bitch, did you resist?"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Cai Fu tossed the eagle-eyed young man to Shi Wengong:

"Apply him wound medicine, don't let him die so soon."

He then wrapped the Empress Dowager's wife in a quilt, making her look like a silkworm cocoon, carried her on his shoulder, and strode out.

The three brothers captured the Falcon-Eyed Gentleman and the Empress Dowager and took them out of the Demon-Suppressing Temple. Princess Tianshou had already arrived with her troops.

Cai Fu then ordered his guards to bring Master Yuantong over and hand him over to Princess Tianshou.
"The emperor's brother-in-law's wife, children, as well as the main culprits and accomplices are all here. You can do whatever you want with them."

Princess Tianshou glanced at her younger cousins' pitiful appearance, then looked at the Empress Dowager's wife lying in bed...

Although Cai Fu did not say it explicitly, Princess Tianshou had already vaguely understood and had him taken back to the Imperial Uncle's residence.

Cai Fu was not involved in how Princess Tianshou was dealt with afterward, and he never saw the Empress Dowager again.

An hour later, all the civil and military officials of Mozhou were present in the main hall of the Imperial Uncle's Mansion.

Princess Tianshou revealed the wolf-head token:

"The Imperial Brother-in-Law has entrusted Mozhou to my sworn brother Cai Fu!"
“Cai Fu has handed the Wolf Head Token to me. From this day forward, Mozhou is under the control of Cai Fu and me!”

"After I have finished speaking, who is in favor and who is against?"

Princess Tianshou was the apple of the wolf king's eye and held the wolf head token. Which civil or military official would dare to oppose her?

Thus, the transfer of power was completed smoothly. After the civil and military officials left, Princess Tianshou kindly reminded Cai Fu:

"Brother Cai Cai, these people may not be truly loyal to you. You should replace them with your own people!"

"Thank you for reminding."

Cai Fu didn't need her reminder, but Princess Tianshou's reminder meant that this Liao girl was someone he could get along with.

So the question is, to whom should Mozhou be handed over?

Cai Fu thought for a moment and said, "Fifth brother, you will be the general of Mozhou."

"I'll send you a prefectural governor later."

Shi Wengong was overjoyed and immediately bowed deeply in respect.

"Thank you for entrusting me with this important task, brother. I will certainly live up to your expectations!"

Cai Fu helped him up with emotion: "Fifth brother, you won't have to wear a mask anymore."

Shi Wengong: (╥﹏╥)
