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

Chapter 41 The Five Tigers of the Zeng Family
"Whoohoo-"

The village on Dead Tree Mountain was ablaze, as if the Olympic flame had been lit on the top of the mountain!
Yu Baosi felt a little sorry:

"Brother, why burn down the stronghold? Keeping it is at least a way out..."

"hehe."

Cai Fu smiled faintly: If you don’t cook, you’re not professional!
"Why keep this stronghold?"

Bao Xu told Yu Baosi:
"From now on, I will follow my brother wholeheartedly and will never come back!"

The group stood in front of the burning Kushu Mountain stronghold for a while, and Cai Qing finally couldn't help asking:

"Brother, why don't we go?"

"Not urgent."

Cai Fu sat on a reclining ox rock, calmly answering while wiping his knife:
"Wait until the fire is out before leaving."

Lu Junyi was very curious: "Brother, why do we have to wait for the fire to go out?"

"If we don't wait for the fire to be extinguished, and it spreads and burns the entire mountain, the consequences will be disastrous..."

Cai Fu's explanation left Lu Junyi completely baffled:

"The consequences of setting the entire mountain on fire...

"It's nothing more than burning down all the trees on the mountain!"

"Second brother, remember this!"

Cai Fu told him earnestly:

“Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets!”

ha?
Lu Junyi was confused.

Cai Fu's earnest advice can be translated as follows for him:

Second brother, remember this! No matter what I tell you to remember, remember it!
At this moment, there was a sudden strong wind, dark clouds, lightning, thunder and heavy rain!

The rain was so hard that it was hard to open one's eyes. Cai Fu didn't care about pretending to be cool and hurriedly took his brothers to find a place to take shelter from the rain.

It's too early to even find a place to take shelter from the rain...

……

Zengtou City.

"Hasn't the teacher been found yet?"

A white-haired, ferocious-looking old man from another race slapped the table and said angrily:

"Could this guy have escaped?"

This old man from a different race was none other than Zeng Nong, the chief of Zengtou City.

His eldest son, Zeng Tu, the leader of the Zeng Family's Five Tigers, a seven-foot-tall, red-faced man, thought for a moment:

“Probably not.

"Father, have you forgotten that the teacher came to our Zengtou City because he offended an unparalleled powerful person?

"Besides, last time I pretended to be a teacher and shot Chao Gai to death with a poison arrow, Liangshanpo wanted to seek revenge on me!

"Besides Zeng Toushi, who else can protect him?"

"Brother is right!"

Zeng Kui, the fourth of the Zeng family's Five Tigers, a large, yellow-faced man eight feet tall, interrupted and said:

"And the teacher went with Yu Baosi. I suspect he asked Yu Baosi to take him out to buy a thousand-mile horse!"

"Hmph! If you don't eat the toast, you will be punished with a drink!"

Zeng Mi, the second of the Zeng Family's Five Tigers, a dark-faced man eight feet tall, cursed angrily:

“It’s his blessing that the Fourth Prince has taken a liking to him!

"He refused to accept the Zhaoye Jade Lion, which meant he rejected the Fourth Prince's offer!
"Father, what should we do if he really buys a Maxima?"

"Get rid of him, of course!"

Zeng Suo, the third of the Zeng Family's Five Tigers, a six-foot-tall, purple-faced man, sneered and said:
"His Highness the Fourth Prince once said that teachers possess courage unmatched by ten thousand men!

"If he refuses to surrender, I would rather destroy him!
"Lest he be used by the enemy!"

"Not bad!"

Commander Zeng confirmed it, and at that moment, a nine-foot-tall, white-faced man suddenly rushed in:
"Father, the teacher is back!"

This nine-foot-tall, white-faced man was Zeng Sheng, the fifth of the Five Tigers of the Zeng Family.

Zeng Sheng said excitedly: "The teacher also said that he would treat the five of us brothers to a drink!"

"Oh?"

Commander Zeng was overjoyed: "Could it be that the teacher has figured it out?" The fourth son, Zeng Kui, was good at martial arts and poetry and books. He was the only one of the Five Tigers of the Zeng family who was both civil and military.

Zeng Kui's eyes rolled around and he muttered:
"Father, I think even if the teacher hasn't figured it out, he must be shaken!

"He wants to treat the five of us brothers to a drink, most likely because he wants to talk about love, so the five of us brothers will talk about love with him!
"There's an old saying in the South that goes, 'If you work hard enough, you can grind an iron rod into a needle!
"The five of us brothers will work together to persuade him. Even if he is an iron rod, we will grind him into a needle tonight!"

"That's it."

Commander Zeng stroked his beard with satisfaction:

"Go ahead, don't keep the teacher waiting."

"Don't worry, father!"

The eldest brother Zeng Tu stood up and said:
"Tonight, the five of us brothers will use all our strength to capture the teacher!"

After coming out of Zeng's mansion, the five tigers of Zeng family went to Shi Wengong's small courtyard with full confidence and eager to try.

Shi Wengong had already prepared a table of food and wine and was arranging for the five tigers of the Zeng family to take their seats.

The second one, Zeng Mi, was reckless and put his face directly on the wall:
"I haven't seen the teacher these days. I thought he would never come back!"

"a ha ha ha……"

Shi Wengong laughed dryly twice:

"Erlang, you're joking. Didn't I ask Yu Baosi to go to the north to buy horses?

"The horse Yu Baosi bought for me was robbed when we passed by Kushu Mountain.

"I'll go with him to ask for a horse..."

"Don't talk nonsense, Old Two!"

The eldest brother Zeng Tu scolded Zeng Mi and said to Shi Wengong with a smile:

"Teacher, please forgive him for speaking so directly!
"I wonder if the teacher has retrieved the horse from Dead Tree Mountain?"

"No……"

Shi Wengong's face flushed:
"Bao Xu, the 'God of Death' of Dead Tree Mountain, has no moral principles and bullies the few with his numbers..."

The five tigers of the Zeng family looked at each other, and the fourth one, Zeng Kui, asked with a smile:

"I wonder how I can be of service to you, Master?"

Shi Wengong waved his hand, and a handsome servant came over to filter the wine for them.

Shi Wengong said shamelessly: "Drink this bowl of wine first."

The five tigers of the Zeng family looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

Only the fourth brother, Zeng Kui, looked at the handsome servant suspiciously:

"Teacher, who is this?"

Shi Wengong: "This is my new servant. He is knowledgeable and interesting. He can play all kinds of music and sing!"

"Oh?"

Zeng Kui raised an eyebrow: "Come sing a song for us to liven up the atmosphere!"

"Shiro, business is important!"

Shi Wengong picked up a full bowl of wine:

"Let's drink this bowl of wine first!"

Zeng Kui had no choice but to pick up the wine bowls with his four brothers, clink them together, and drink it all in one gulp.

After drinking a bowl of wine, Shi Wengong patted his chest:
"Tell me the truth, how do I treat you five brothers?"

The fifth brother Zeng Sheng said with a smile:
"The teacher teaches us five brothers according to our aptitude and does his best!

"We five brothers all respect our teachers!"

"In that case..."

Shi Wengong finally opened the map of Yan State:
"Can you five brothers help me get a horse from Dead Tree Mountain?"

"Well..."

The five tigers of the Zeng family all looked at the fourth one, Zeng Kui, who chuckled:
"Of course we have to help the teacher!

"But there are five to seven hundred men at Dead Tree Mountain. We need at least a thousand men to defeat them!
"If the teacher accepts the Zhaoye Jade Lion, we have to go no matter what for the sake of His Highness the Fourth Prince!

"If the teacher refuses to accept the Zhaoye Jade Lion, it will be embarrassing for the Fourth Prince, and we won't be able to send troops!"

"Ah this..."

Shi Wengong looked embarrassed and speechless, so he had to ask a handsome servant to filter the wine.
