Chapter 376 Dai Zong: Is Cai Fu a vixen? [3rd update, please subscribe]

That's an entire state!
After hearing Princess Tianshou recount the whole story, Yelü Hui, though knowing that Cai Fu's acquisition of Mozhou was understandable, still felt a pang of heartache!
What do you mean by "selling one's father's land without a care in the world"?

Yelü Hui originally thought that Cai Fu, a dragon crossing the river, would find it difficult to hold onto the enclave of Mozhou, and that he might be able to find an opportunity to take it back.

But he never expected to be betrayed by his own beloved daughter.

With Princess Tianshou's help, it will be much easier for Cai Fu to defend Mozhou.

It was also because of Princess Tianshou that Yelü Hui couldn't bring himself to harm Mozhou...

Princess Tianshou's focus was different from Yelü Hui's:
"Father, aren't you saddened by your uncle's death?"

sad?

Whenever Yelü Hui mentioned the emperor's brother-in-law Kangli Ding'an, he wished he could drag him out of his coffin and whip his corpse!
If he can't even manage his own backyard, what else can this guy do?
It's one thing to be unable to manage one's own backyard, but to make matters worse, he even gave away my Mozhou!
Why didn't you die sooner?
If it weren't for the Empress and Princess Tianshou, Yelü Hui would have already started cursing.

But in front of Princess Tianshou, Yelü Hui shook his head with a wry smile:
"What's the use of being sad? The Emperor's brother-in-law has left us forever..."

Princess Tianshou reminded Yelü Hui: "What does Father Emperor intend to do with my aunt and those two Jurchen spies?"

"What aunt?"

Yelü Hui snorted coldly. He couldn't whip Kangli Ding'an's corpse, nor could he urge Kangli Ding'an's wife to do the same.
"Chop off that bitch's hands and feet and throw her to the dogs!"
"As for the two Jurchen spies, detain them for now!"
"I will interrogate him severely again later, and interrogate him in detail!"

Having explained everything, Yelü Hui, beaming, pulled Princess Tianshou aside:

"Daughter, there is something I'm unsure whether I should say..."

Princess Tianshou was taken aback: "Why doesn't Father just say what he wants to say?"

Yelü Hui chuckled: "You've heard of Wuzhu, the fourth prince of the Jin Dynasty, right?"

"When you're not here..."

Princess Tianshou's face turned green, and she quickly covered her ears with her little hands:

"I won't listen, I won't listen!"

Yelü Hui frowned: "In that case, let's talk about how to take back Mozhou!"
"I appointed Kangli Ding'an Yongzhen to govern Mozhou because he is the emperor's brother-in-law, and I wanted to keep the benefits within the family!"

“Cai Fu is a Song citizen. How can I entrust Mozhou to him with peace of mind?”

"no!"

Princess Tianshou became anxious upon hearing this:

"Mozhou was entrusted to Cai Fu by my uncle before he died!"

"How can Father Emperor go back on his word?"

"joke!"

Yelü Hui narrowed his eyes and said with a half-smile:

"Why is it that I have gone back on my word regarding Cai Fu, whom Kangli Ding'an entrusted to me?"
"Besides, I only appointed Kangli Ding'an to guard Mozhou, not to bestow Mozhou upon him!"

"What right does he have to give away my Mozhou?"

"The gifts were sent by people from the Song Dynasty!"

Princess Tianshou's eyes reddened with anxiety: "Father, Cai Fu is still my savior!"

Yelü Hui already had a plan in mind: "I am grateful to him, how about I give him ten thousand taels of gold to repay his kindness?"

Princess Tianshou was speechless and could only stomp her little boots in frustration.

"Mozhou has already been given to Cai Fu by my uncle!"
"Father, you can't take it back!"

Yelü Hui sighed, then changed the subject: "In that case, let's talk about Wuzhu's matter again..."

Princess Tianshou covered her ears again: "I don't want to hear it! I don't want to hear it!"

Yelü Hui: (_)
……

Mozhou.

"Whoosh—" A skinny man with a crab-like face rushed to the vicinity of the city gate, then suddenly slammed on the brakes, kicking two ridges into the ground!
Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, he squinted and gazed at Mozhou City not far ahead.

This sight was astonishing; the skinny man with the crab-like face couldn't help but gasp.
Are all the guards at the gate just low-ranking thugs from Liangshan Marsh?

Of course, he couldn't recognize the skinny man with the crab-like face just by looking at him. How many of the tens of thousands of henchmen of Liangshan could he possibly recognize?
He was looking at the sleeves of the gatekeepers.

There were also many government troops who surrendered at Liangshan Marsh. There wasn't enough time to procure armor for so many people, so how could they prove their identities?

The simplest method is to have the surrendered government troops tear off half of their left sleeves.

The skinny man with the crab-like face noticed that although the guards were wearing Liao Dynasty uniforms, they had all torn off half of their left sleeves.

Doesn't this prove that the guards at the gate were all low-ranking thugs from Liangshan Marsh?
No way?
The skinny man with the crab-like face thought to himself: Could it be that Brother Cai Fu has really taken over Mozhou?
This skinny man with a crab-like face was none other than Dai Zong, the "Divine Traveler," whom Song Jiang had sent to Mozhou to gather information.

Because Dai Zong possessed the ability to travel 800 li in a day, he arrived before Zhang Shuye.

Dai Zong sneaked into the city gate and inquired around. He quickly found out that Mozhou really belonged to Cai Fu.

Moreover, rumors of Cai Fu's romantic affair with Princess Tianshou were spreading like wildfire throughout the city...

"What did you say?"

Dai Zong stared wide-eyed in disbelief:
"Was Princess Tianshou captivated by Cai Fu's good looks?"
"Therefore, they asked the emperor's brother-in-law, Kangli Ding'an, to give Mozhou as part of Cai Fu's dowry?"

"Isn't it?"

An old man told him mysteriously:
"My son's childhood friend's neighbor's eldest daughter's nephew is a soldier!"
"That day he stood on the city gate tower and saw it clearly!"
"Princess Tianshou, in front of thousands of government troops on and below the city walls, grabbed Cai Fu's head and started biting it!"
"There's another earth-shattering secret, which I don't usually tell just anyone. I'm only telling you this because you're honest!"

The old man looked around and lowered his voice, saying:
"I heard that Cai Fu is actually a male fox spirit!"

"hiss--"

Dai Zong couldn't help but gasp:
"real or fake?"

"More real than pearls!"

The old man spoke with great conviction:
“There’s a woman on our street named Sister Hong; I’ve seen her refine pills…”

Give me a break, old man!

Dai Zong knew he couldn't get anything more out of the old man, so he gave him a perfunctory reply and moved on to the next one.

After inquiring with many people, they all said pretty much the same thing, and some even gave Cai Fu a new nickname:

The Succubus of the Song Dynasty!

Dai Zong was both amused and exasperated, but after summarizing the situation, he concluded that Cai Fu was probably indeed having an affair with Princess Tianshou.

No one knows how Cai Fu won over Princess Tianshou, but in any case, Princess Tianshou gave him Mozhou.

This is certainly not the truth. The problem is that the truth about Kangli Ding'an could not possibly be spread among the people.
However, Princess Tianshou was indeed seen biting Cai Fu's head, a sight witnessed by thousands of Liao soldiers...

Dai Zong felt he had gathered enough information, so he left the city gate, preparing to rush back to Erlong Mountain to report to Song Jiang.

After binding the armor to his legs, Dai Zong chanted the incantation for divine speed and then flew away as if riding on clouds!

"Shh-"

Just as Dai Zong was galloping along the official road, he saw a person in the distance riding on firelight, coming at lightning speed!

What the hell?

Dai Zong was stunned. He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the other person was walking faster than him!

This unscientific!

Dai Zong subconsciously slowed his pace, wanting to greet the person.

But the person was walking too fast and darted past him in a flash...
