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

Chapter 384 Prefect Murong: Liu Guangshi, are you planning a rebellion? [2 Updates]

"Wow--"

A bucket of cold water was poured over him, and Murong Yanming was jolted awake. He opened his eyes and saw four big faces above him!

There was a person with a palm-sized blue birthmark on his face and a few sparse red whiskers on his cheeks!

Another person had a head full of red hair, a round face that was purplish-black, and a vermilion birthmark on his sideburns, on which a patch of yellow hair grew!

One of them had a rat-like face, a pointed mouth and monkey cheeks, and was completely black from head to toe, looking just like a big black rat!

There was yet another man with a dignified appearance, sharp eyes, imposing presence, and a broad back and thick waist!

Murong Yanming hurriedly closed his eyes:

"I know the rules, I didn't see anything!"
"Please accept the gold and silver I have on me, sir!"

"I just beg you to spare my life!"

A sarcastic voice rang out: "Prefect Murong, your life is quite precious, you think you can just send us away with this little bit of silver!"

Murong Yanming's expression changed drastically: "I am not Prefect Murong!"

"You got the wrong person!"

A cold blade was pressed against Murong Yanming's neck: "If it weren't for Prefect Murong, I would have killed him!"

Murong Yanming burst into tears: "I am Prefect Murong!"
"Heroes, what exactly do you want?"

"It's much easier now that you're Prefect Murong!"

The eerie voice said, "Open your eyes!"

"No, no! I'll be as soon as I open my eyes..."

Before Murong Yanming could finish speaking, his eyelids were violently ripped open.

The sarcastic voice came from the burly red-haired man: "See that?"
"This is our Liangshan Marsh Master, known in the martial arts world as the 'King of the Northern Blades,' Brother Cai Fu!"

"what?"

Murong Yanming's expression changed drastically, and he couldn't help but curse Gao Qiu in his heart!

If Gao Qiu hadn't come to suppress the bandits, how could he have provoked Cai Daowang of Liangshan Marsh?
Murong Yanming did not question Cai Fu's identity. These four burly men were not ordinary people, and Cai Fu was even more like a fierce demon, with an imposing aura!

Murong Yanming hurriedly got up and gave Cai Fu a proper kowtow:
"Your Majesty, please spare my life!"

Cai Fu's lips curled into a mocking smile: "As long as you obey, I guarantee you won't die."

Murong Yanming bluntly said, "Listen to me, listen to me!"
"If I were disobedient, I wouldn't be fit to be the prefect!"

"it is good!"

Cai Fu enjoyed dealing with these cowardly officials who were afraid of death.

"Gather all the troops from Qingzhou!"

Murong Yanming: "Ah, this..."

The burly man with the blue birthmark then placed his precious sword against the back of Murong Yanming's neck.

Murong Yanming hurriedly said, "It's all on my shoulders!"

……

"Cheer up, everyone!"

Liu Guangshi glanced at the sky; the sun was setting, and dusk was approaching.
"It's easiest to launch a sneak attack after dark!"

The 10,000 imperial guards he led were all yawning constantly; even with rotations, they had been working for several nights in a row.

They were all listless, except for the imperial guards around Liu Guangshi who were still trying to appear energetic.

Liu Guangshi was also very tired, but he had a strong premonition that the rebels' reinforcements were coming soon!

It will happen either tonight or in the next two days.

A military officer standing nearby couldn't help but ask him, "General, could it be that the Liangshan rebels didn't send reinforcements?"

"We have 130,000 troops here, why would the Liangshan rebels be like moths to a flame?"

They will come!

Liu Guangshi said with certainty.

He is inexperienced; if he is not confident, he will not be able to control this group of arrogant and unruly soldiers.

The military commander curled his lip and said nothing. These second-generation generals all thought they were born to fight.

Saying anything won't help; getting beaten will make you behave.

Just then, a junior officer came running to report: "General, a large contingent of government troops, about four or five thousand strong, is approaching on the road. They are flying the Qingzhou banner!"

"what?"

Liu Guangshi frowned: "What are the Qingzhou soldiers doing here?"

The commander kindly reminds you: "Qingzhou Prefect Murong Yanming is the brother of Consort Murong!"
"Could it be that the Qingzhou soldiers he sent are... to aid us?"

The commander didn't say it explicitly, but Liu Guangshi understood what he meant.

Liu Guangshi hesitated for two seconds, then shook his head:
"No, Prefect Murong is not that kind of person!"

"If he wanted to share the credit with us, he would have come long ago, not waited until now!"

Commander: "What does General Liu think?"

"The Qingzhou soldiers are imposters!"

Liu Guangshi punched his palm: "I think they're probably rebels from Liangshan!"
"If we let them pass, and they fall into a trap, the Grand Commandant will be in danger!"

The commander was convinced: "That's right. Prefect Murong is the emperor's brother-in-law, how could he share the credit with us?"

"Our forces outnumber theirs by a factor of two. We can wait in comfort and attack them by surprise, and we can completely wipe them out!"

Liu Guangshi narrowed his eyes, his gaze flashing with a fierce light:

"When they're halfway across, listen to my command and cut them in half!"
"Let's try to annihilate them!"

Military Commander: "Yes!"

Before long, Liu Guangshi saw four or five thousand Qingzhou soldiers walking along the official road.

"At their marching speed, they won't reach the camp by nightfall!"

Liu Guangshi sneered: "Didn't they even think about where they'd sleep tonight?"

"Needless to say, it must be a Liangshan rebel in disguise!"

Several military commanders and officers agreed wholeheartedly.

So, as the four or five thousand Qingzhou soldiers passed through their ambush without any warning, Liu Guangshi waved his hand:

"Come at me!"

"boom--"

With a cannon shot, Liu Guangshi took the lead and led 10,000 imperial guards out of the woods!
In an instant, shouts of battle arose everywhere, and the 10,000 Imperial Guards charged towards the 4,000 to 5,000 Qingzhou soldiers as if they had been injected with chicken blood!

The four or five thousand Qingzhou soldiers were caught off guard and were completely stunned by the Imperial Guards, unable to organize any resistance.

Under Liu Guangshi's powerful attacks, some died, some were wounded, some fled, and some surrendered...

"kill--"

Liu Guangshi did not expect that these four or five thousand Qingzhou soldiers were so weak in combat.

That's understandable, though, since they're just a bunch of rabble.

After cutting through the Qingzhou soldiers, Liu Guangshi arrived at a carriage.

A group of elite Qingzhou soldiers guarded the carriage, and Liu Guangshi guessed that the rebel leader must be inside.

Perhaps it is Cai Fu!

"We're on the same side! We're on the same side!"

The elite Qingzhou soldiers fought and shouted wildly, but no one listened to them.

Liu Guangshi was in a bloodthirsty frenzy. After slaughtering his way through them, he rushed to the carriage and used his spear to lift the curtain:
"Traitor... my lord?"

When Liu Guangshi first arrived in Qingzhou, his father, Liu Yanqing, took him to visit Murong Yanming.

Therefore, at this moment, Liu Guangshi recognized Murong Yanming at a glance:

"Why is my husband here...?"

"nonsense!"

Murong Yanming's face was as pale as paper, clearly frightened. Upon seeing Liu Guangshi, he immediately launched into a tirade of curses:
"I am here to support the Grand Commandant, why can't I be here?"
"Liu Guangshi, are you trying to rebel? Huh?"
"Who gave you the audacity to kill government troops? Huh?"

"I'm going to report you to the Grand Commandant!"
"You wait for me!"

Are these really government troops?

Liu Guangshi felt a chill run down his spine and hurriedly knelt down.
"My lord, it's a misunderstanding!"

【Don’t worry, there’s more to come】
