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

Chapter 453 Cai Fu: You didn't even give me a single hair! [2 Updates]

you?
Cai Fu glanced at the burly-faced imperial brother-in-law, a mocking smile playing on his lips:

"Sit down and talk."

The chubby-faced imperial brother-in-law plopped down before suddenly realizing what had happened:
No, why should I listen to him?
Although he is the King of Qi, I am also the brother-in-law of the King of Chu!

So frustrating!

The big-faced imperial brother-in-law originally wanted to give Cai Fu a hard time, but unexpectedly he was the one who got a hard time instead!

The key point is that they didn't intend to intimidate him; it was he who was incompetent and intimidated by their imposing manner...

After realizing what had happened, the big-faced imperial brother-in-law held his breath, knowing that even the King of Chu dared not give him a hard time!
Although the king of Chu was Wang Qing, the Duan family was very powerful. It could be said that the king and the Duan family shared the world!

Why should he have to put up with Cai Fu's attitude?
The big-faced imperial brother-in-law had a gloomy expression. It was all Cai Fu's fault for appearing too suddenly, which caused him to not perform well.

Now that I'm prepared, Cai Fu can't suppress me with just his momentum. Maybe I can even turn the tables!
Taking a deep breath to compose himself, the burly-faced imperial brother-in-law deliberately sat down in his chair and casually cupped his hands in greeting to Cai Fu:

"General Duan Er, Commander-in-Chief of the Chu State's Protectorate Army, greets Your Majesty!"

Cai Fu ignored him and calmly picked up his teacup.

Lu Zhishen, standing behind Cai Fu, glared at him:
"Ok?"

"hiss!"

Duan Er's face paled involuntarily; the fat monk's appearance was too frightening.
A thousand broken iron wires are gathered along the edge of his mouth, and a patch of dreadful hair is exposed on his chest!
Those who develop a face like a carnivore or a fish eater are not people who read scriptures and chant Buddha's name!
This is still the description from the original novel; in reality, Lu Zhishen has already been led astray by Cai Fu...

In the original novel, Lu Zhishen actually didn't kill many people, especially in the later stages, he often showed mercy.

However, following Cai Fu, he traveled all over the country and killed countless people. Lu Zhishen embarked on a path of seeking revenge and proving his path through killing!
I'm afraid that once you get to Liuhe Temple and hear the Qiantang River tide, you'll just laugh and say that the sound of the tide is not as loud as my fart!
I'll most likely never become a Buddha in this lifetime...

Two generals behind Duan Er stepped forward simultaneously, unleashing their combined power to confront Lu Zhishen!
Hello?

Lu Zhishen sized up the two generals with great interest, especially the one with a face full of scars and eyes like copper bells:
This is a master!

With the two generals joining forces, they withstood Lu Zhishen's oppressive aura. Only then did Duan Er recover, feeling both ashamed and angry.
No, how can just anyone intimidate me?
Don't I, Duan Guojiu, have any pride?

Originally, Duan Er felt very superior to Cai Fu.

The State of Chu was established early, and in the eyes of many people in Chu, the State of Qi was a nouveau riche.

Not only Duan Er, but even Wang Qing believed that the alliance between Chu and Qi was an overestimation of Qi's status.

Therefore, Duan Er's attitude at the beginning was arrogant and condescending.

As a result, the combined pressure from Cai Fu and Lu Zhishen forced Duan Er to reveal his true colors.

He's just a pig riding the wave.

He got involved with Wang Qing through a girl, and Wang Qing took him to the skies, but he mistakenly believed that he could actually fly...

However, Cai Fu is a powerful dragon, and Lu Zhishen is a fierce tiger. If a pig sees a dragon and a tiger, wouldn't it be so scared that it would run away in terror?
Duan Er was both ashamed and angry, and said with a belly full of rage:
"Duan Er has come here on behalf of the State of Chu to the State of Qi!"

"Firstly, to congratulate the King of Qi on the founding of his state; secondly, our State of Chu intends to form an alliance with your State of Qi..."

Cai Fu calmly took a sip of tea, interrupting Duan Er:
"Offering congratulations verbally?"

This is embarrassing...

Duan Er didn't bring Cai Fu any gifts, mainly because Wang Qing didn't treat Cai Fu as an equal rebel king.

Wang Qing viewed Cai Fu like a Gold Saint looking at the five Bronze Saints, making no attempt to conceal his arrogance as someone who had "gotten rich first."

Furthermore, Wang Qing's Chu state was a newly established makeshift organization...

To put it bluntly, Wang Qing was a prisoner a few years ago, and his background was that of a deputy platoon leader in Kaifeng Prefecture, Tokyo!

He was rebellious from a young age, indulging in drinking, gambling, whoring, beating his father and cursing his mother. He even made his father blind. What does he know about diplomatic etiquette?
Wang Qing believed in the law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak. In his view, the alliance between Chu and Qi was a reward for Cai Fu!

What other gifts should I give?
Of course, it was indeed inconvenient to bring gifts from the long distance between Chu and Qi, so Duan Er offered a forced explanation:
"Your Majesty, please do not misunderstand!"
"Our country had originally prepared congratulatory gifts, but it was really not easy to bring them over from thousands of miles away!"

"The government is cracking down too hard, and it's inconvenient to travel..."

Cai Fu was too lazy to listen to his explanation and interrupted him rudely: "A gift of a goose feather from a thousand miles away is a small gift but carries great meaning."

"I know that you have traveled thousands of miles through various prefectures and states, and it is inconvenient for you to travel. Even sending a goose feather is a token of my appreciation."

"In the end, you didn't even give me a single hair."

"I wonder if it's because your Chu state is stingy, or if your Chu state thinks our Qi state is worthless?"

Duan Er's face turned bright red: "King Qi, please don't push your luck. Our Chu Kingdom has only meant well..."

Cai Fu laughed loudly: "What good intentions?"
"Do we, the people of Qi, need to beg for food? Do we need your charity?"

"you--"

Duan Er's complexion kept changing, sometimes yellow, sometimes green, sometimes yellow, sometimes green.
What are you going to do?

"Shouldn't I be asking you that?"

Cai Fu narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing through them:
"Why does your Chu state look down on me so much?"

Duan Er took a deep breath: "Good! Good! Good!"

"King Qi is indeed domineering; he'll just pretend Duan Er never came here!"

"Farewell!"

"Wait!"

As soon as Cai Fuyi spoke, two generals rushed in from outside and blocked Duan Er's way. They were Yang Zaixing and He Yuanqing!

Yang Zaixing was nine feet tall, and He Yuanqing was eight feet tall. The two burly men glared angrily at Duan Er!

Duan Er's expression changed, and he suddenly turned around to glare angrily at Cai Fu:

"Does the King of Qi intend to turn against the State of Chu?"

Cai Fu laughed: "You people from Chu have come all this way to slap me in the face, and now you want to leave?"

Although Cai Fu was smiling, Duan Er felt a chill run down his spine and couldn't help but ask:
What are you going to do?

"You've come all this way, so I should leave you something as a souvenir!"

Cai Fu looked at Duan Er with a smile:

"According to the fine traditions of our Qi state—"

"Since your Chu Kingdom doesn't take me seriously, it's not unreasonable for me to leave you with one eye, is it?"

"hiss--"

Duan Erqing couldn't help but gasp:
"You surnamed Cai! You dare touch a single hair on my head..."

Before Duan could finish speaking, Yang Zaixing and He Yuanqing had already approached him like wolves and tigers!

"stop!"

Two generals behind Duan Er confronted Yang Zaixing and He Yuanqing respectively, and the four of them started fighting one-on-one!

Duan Er seized the opportunity to turn around and run away, but something flew from outside the door and hit him squarely in the eye!
"Ow—"

Duan Er screamed and covered his eyes with his hands; a trickle of bright red blood was already seeping through his fingers...

Qiu Qiongying walked in from outside, patting the dust off her hands, because she had just picked up a pebble from the ground.

If you were to use an iron pellet to hit Duan Er, it wouldn't just be a matter of losing one eye.

Cai Fu ignored Duan Er, who was blind in one eye, and instead took a keen look at the two generals fighting against Yang Zaixing and He Yuanqing.

Especially that one with a face full of scars and eyes like copper bells...
