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

Chapter 425 Song Jiang: You used to call me "good brother," now you call me "Chief Song"? [1st update]

"Yuanyuan, how did you come up with that 'disarming hammer' move?"

Cai Fu had forgotten about this matter after rushing out of Tokyo, and only now did he remember to ask He Yuanqing about it.

"I had no choice..."

He Yuanqing felt very aggrieved when he talked about it:

"I used to bully people because of my superhuman strength, but my master is even stronger than me!"
"When my master was teaching me moves, he always bullied me because of his strength, and he would knock my hammer away every time!"
"The child learned his lesson later; if he couldn't win by confronting them head-on, he would try to find a way!"

"For example, this move, the 'disarming hammer,' came about in a flash of inspiration!"
"Although my master broke through my move, he still praised me!"

"Praise me for being adaptable, which allows me to perform even better in real combat situations!"
"When I fought that Jin Dynasty strongman, I was not as strong as him, so I thought of this move, 'Disarming Hammer'!"
"It's a pity the Jin Dynasty strongman dodged too quickly, otherwise this hammer blow would have smashed him to pieces!"

Cai Fu laughed heartily.

Lu Zhishen's way of teaching his disciples was quite unique; he forced He Yuanqing to change his habit of relying solely on brute force.

That's good. Through He Yuanqing's fight with Zhang Conglong, Cai Fu discovered that He Yuanqing has indeed grown.

In this way, it's a foregone conclusion that He Yuanqing will grow to the level of a strong tiger like Lin Chong and Wang Huan.

If they have any further opportunities in the future, it is not entirely impossible for them to grow into a powerful tiger like Guan Sheng, Lu Wenlong, or Yue Yun.

After that topic was over, Yue Fei and Cai Fu started talking about Song Jiang:
"I didn't expect that little fat black guy to be so capable of causing trouble!"
"After leaving Shandong, they actually created a new situation in Hebei!"

This was indeed beyond Cai Fu's expectations.

If they hadn't discovered the unique marching marks left on the tree trunks along the way, they would have ended up at Shaohua Mountain.

The purpose of marching markers is to prevent the rear guard from getting lost.

This is how Hua Rong and Xu Ning caught up with Cai Fu after they rushed out of Tokyo.

Cai Fu and his men followed the marching markers along the way and arrived at Gaizhou.

Upon arriving in Gaizhou, Cai Fu encountered Song Jiang's scouts and only then realized that Gaizhou already belonged to Song Jiang.

Cai Fu couldn't help but sigh that the chosen one of the world was indeed the chosen one of the world.

Even after he himself took Liangshan Marsh, Song Jiang's luck remained strong.

However, in retrospect, Song Jiang was able to occupy Gaizhou because he killed Tian Hu, which led to the fragmentation of the Jin state.

But Song Jiang was driven away by his own actions. If he hadn't been forced to leave, Song Jiang would still be at Liangshan Marsh hoping for amnesty...

Every drink and every bite is preordained; every cause and effect has its reason.

Cai Fu chuckled: "That's fine. With Little Fatty here, the Jin Kingdom will remain in this fragmented state."

"It will be much easier for us to attack later."

"Master, Gaizhou is just ahead."

With the keen eye of Hua Rong, Cai Fu looked around and indeed, the outline of Gaizhou's city walls had become clear.

Flying prominently atop the city wall was the apricot-yellow banner proclaiming "Acting on Behalf of Heaven" from Liangshan Marsh!
Cai Fu's lips curled into a mocking smile: "Little fatso, you still can't bear to part with this banner!"

Hua Rong sneered: "He's not worthy?"

"Xiao Hua, you should tone it down a bit later."

Cai Fu reminded him, "It's not time yet."

Hua Rong: "I understand!"

"Crack, bang, bang..."

Hearing gritted teeth behind him, Cai Fu turned around and gave Hu Sanniang another instruction:

"You'd better tone it down, don't burn your teeth. When the time comes, you can take your revenge however you like."

Hu Sanniang: o(￣ε￣*)
"Master, Little Fatty has come out to greet you!"

It was Hua Rong, with the best eyesight, who spotted it first. Cai Fu looked around and sure enough, a group of people was leaving the city.

The underlings carried various banners, including "Song," "Lin," "Qin," "Lei," and "Chai"...

The chubby little black guy still loves to act!

Cai Fu smirked and led his men on horseback to meet them.

Song Jiang went out to greet Cai Fu for a full mile before finally meeting him. He immediately dismounted and bowed deeply.
"Your humble brother Song Jiang greets Brother Cai Fu!"

Cai Fu didn't emphasize anything about "addressing someone by their title when working." He dismounted, smiled, squatted down, and helped Song Jiang up with both hands.
"Brother Song Jiang, it's been a long time! How have you been?"

Song Jiang and Cai Fu put on a dramatic performance: "Thank you for your concern, brother. Everything is fine since I came to Gaizhou!"
"I can't sleep or eat properly without Brother Hua Rong by my side!"

Having said that, Song Jiang looked at Hua Rong with deep affection:
"Thank you so much, brother, for personally bringing Brother Hua Rong to me..."

Hua Rong originally didn't want to give Song Jiang a friendly look, but remembering Cai Fu's instructions, he said expressionlessly:
"Chief Song has misunderstood!"
"My master didn't bring me here; he came with me to pick up my family!"

With a shout of "Underpants!", Song Jiang was struck dumb as if by lightning:

When he accompanied me to Liangshan, I called him "good brother"!
Now the new people have replaced the old ones, and they're calling him "Chief Song"!
Slow!

Song Jiang suddenly discovered the blind spot:
"Owner?
"Brother Hua Rong, why do you call Brother Cai Fu 'master'?"

Hua Rong avoided Song Jiang's gaze and said with a blank expression:

"Our master traveled thousands of miles to Erlong Mountain and rescued all of you brothers from the encirclement of the imperial army of 130,000!"

"Hua Rong was moved by his master's loyalty and also wanted to repay his master's kindness, so he was willing to become his master!"
"I will go through fire and water, and die!"

"Ah this..."

Song Jiang was speechless and subconsciously looked at Wu Yong.

Wu Yong helplessly covered the lower half of his face with his goose feather fan.

Initially, Wu Yong's gesture was just a way of expressing speechlessness, but it gradually became a tacit understanding between the two.

This indicates that they have nothing to say.

Cai Fu handled this matter brilliantly, so brilliantly that Song Jiang would have to kowtow to Cai Fu every time they met.

It is perfectly reasonable for Hua Rong to be moved by Cai Fu's loyalty, and it is only natural for him to repay Cai Fu's kindness!

No one can find fault with it!

The heroes behind Song Jiang—no, the heroes of Erlong Mountain, no, now we should say the heroes of Gaizhou.

The heroes of Gaizhou were speechless; some even felt envy and resentment, wondering why it wasn't them...

You should know that Cai Fu is now a warlord who has established himself as king. It is not shameful for him to worship him as his master!
So many people want to worship him, but they can't even get the chance!

If Cai Fuzhen were to ascend the throne and become the emperor, Hua Rong would be carried along with him!
"Brother Hua Rong..."

Song Jiang stepped forward, tears welling in his eyes, and grabbed Hua Rong's hand. Hua Rong barely managed to hold back from pulling away.

This time it wasn't acting; Song Jiang truly couldn't bear to lose Hua Rong, who was his trusted confidant!
Where can you find a confidant who is skilled in martial arts, accurate in archery, beautiful, and loyal?
Song Jiang once firmly believed that even if Wu Yong and Li Kui might betray him, Hua Rong would never!
However, to his surprise, Wu Yong and Li Kui were still there, but Hua Rong had already left him...

Song Jiang originally thought that as long as he grabbed Hua Rong's hand and squeezed out a few tears, he could win back Hua Rong's heart.

As a result, Hua Rong didn't even glance at him, and Song Jiang immediately understood that Hua Rong's heart was no longer with him...
