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

Chapter 505 Cai Fu: You little fatso, you've got some nerve! [1st Update]

Within the territory of the Song Dynasty, it could be either the imperial court or the State of Chu.

There are many more outside of China, such as the Liao, Jin, and Western Xia dynasties...

However, the imperial court has just granted Cai Fu amnesty, so they probably wouldn't bribe Zheng Mojun to cause trouble, right?

Probably not?
Cai Fu wasn't sure for a moment, but he felt that this matter was definitely related to Bao Daoyi.

“Bao Daoyi is Zheng Biao’s master, so he is most likely aware of this matter.”

Cai Fu instructed Li Tianrun, Shi Bao, and Pang Wanchun:

"Go back to the Southern Kingdom and secretly report this matter to His Majesty."

"Don't alert them yet, just send trusted confidants to investigate secretly..."

Li Tianrun and Shi Bao nodded in agreement, and Pang Wanchun also said "Aba aba".

Di Lei tidied up the shop, served wine and meat, and Cai Fu invited his brothers to sit down and eat and chat.

As they chatted, the conversation turned to how Lin Chong was captured. Shi Bao mentioned that Song Jiang had sent Qin Ming and Lin Chong to besiege Guan Sheng, and Cai Fu immediately became anxious upon hearing this:

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

At this moment, Pang Wanchun suddenly knelt down on the ground with a "plop":
"Aba Aba..."

Shi Bao quickly explained on Pang Wanchun's behalf:

"General Pang originally intended to shoot Instructor Lin, but he mistakenly hit General Guan..."

"what?"

Cai Fu's expression changed drastically, and after finding out what happened, he was speechless.

To be fair, Pang Wanchun's archery skills are absolutely top-notch in the Water Margin world; even if he's not as good as Hua Rong, he's only a hair's breadth away from him.

It can only be said that Guan Sheng inherited his ancestors' skills perfectly, even his tendency to be hit by arrows was perfectly passed down...

Cai Fu did not make things difficult for Pang Wanchun, but helped him up and comforted him kindly.

When Hua Rong heard that Pang Wanchun was the "Number One Archer in Jiangnan," he immediately felt a desire to compare himself to him.

Upon hearing that Pang Wanchun intended to shoot Lin Chong but mistakenly hit Guan Sheng, Hua Rong lost interest in Pang Wanchun.
Nothing!

"Brother, to be honest..."

Lin Chong had been silent until this point in the conversation, when he finally spoke up:
"Song Jiang actually harbored ill intentions towards Zhaode Prefecture!"

"He wants to join forces with General Guan to attack Jinning Prefecture. If General Guan agrees, fine. If he doesn't agree, he will take this opportunity to capture General Guan!"

"In this way, Zhaode Prefecture will be leaderless and in disarray, and Song Jiang can take over Zhaode Prefecture!"
"But after my brother was captured, he probably won't fight General Guan anymore... right?"

"You little fat black bastard!"

Cai Fu slammed his hand on the table: You've got some nerve!
Lu Junyi gave Lin Chong a push: "Before you go to see my fourth brother, does Song Jiang have any plans?"

Before this, when Cai Fu dealt with Lin Chong, Lu Junyi remained silent, and Cai Fu had even forgotten their relationship.

It was only then that Cai Fucai remembered that Lu Junyi and Lin Chong were fellow disciples, the kind who grew up together since childhood.

However, back in Liangshan, Lin Chong sided with Song Jiang and directly distanced himself from Lu Junyi.

Therefore, Lu Junyi and Lin Chong, these two fellow disciples, remained like strangers.

But now that Lu Junyi has pushed Lin Chong away, Cai Fu knows that he still has feelings for Lin Chong.

Lin Chong recalled carefully: "Song Jiang only took me, Qin Ming, Mu Hong, Guo Sheng and I to see General Guan."

“Wu Yong’s decision to stay in Gaizhou must be for some purpose, but I don’t know what that purpose is.”

Lu Junyi snorted coldly:
"Since Fourth Brother has been hit by an arrow, Song Jiang will definitely take the opportunity to harm him!"

"Big brother, let's go to Zhaode Prefecture to help fourth brother!"

"it is good!"

Cai Fu made a decisive decision:

"It's already past midnight, so it's not convenient to travel any further."

"We'll rest for the night and head to Zhaode Prefecture tomorrow morning."

"Your Majesty, I'll go too!"

Shi Bao and Pang Wanchun volunteered at the same time, while Li Tianrun was a step behind but also said he would go. "Forget it, you're both injured."

Cai Fu waved his hand: "Let's go back to the South first."

"Aba Aba!"

Pang Wanchun stood up, picked up his spear, and twirled it to show that he still had the strength to fight.

"Brother, I understand your feelings."

Cai Fu stepped forward and pointed to the bloodstain spreading across his abdomen:

"Your injuries are too severe for you to continue fighting."

"Don't worry, although we are few in number, we are all elites, which is more than enough."

“You also have a heavy burden on your shoulders. You must hurry back so that my wife can find out who is behind Zheng Biao.”

"To prevent further disaster."

Shi Bao also pulled Pang Wanchun along, saying, "Let's listen to the king!"

"This matter is of utmost importance and cannot be delayed!"

Ok?
Li Tianrun suddenly realized that Shi Bao had made a slip of the tongue:

Cai Fu is the Duke of Zhenguo of the Southern Kingdom, how can he address the King?

You're not from the State of Qi!
However, Li Tianrun decided not to correct Shi Bao's slip of the tongue, since everyone makes mistakes sometimes.

Since they had to travel the next day, Cai Fu, Lu Junyi, and the others ate their fill and then went to their guest rooms to rest.

As Lu Junyi and Lin Chong went upstairs, they subconsciously glanced at each other, but then turned their faces away at the same time.

Cai Fu sensed something was amiss between them, so he graciously helped them get together.
"Second brother, you and Dalinzi are fellow disciples, right?"

"Why don't you two catch up tonight after being apart for so long?"
"Daxing, Long'er, and I went to bed."

Lu Junyi curled his lip: "What's there for me to talk about with him?"

Despite saying that, Lu Junyi still went into the same room as Lin Chong.

Lin Chong glanced gratefully at Cai Fu, who waved his hand, and Lin Chong then closed the door.

Cai Fu then told Yang Zaixing and Yu Hualong to go to sleep. It's good to be young; both kids fell asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillow.

After Cai Fu and the others had fallen asleep, he got up, got out of bed, and left without making a sound.

There was only one candle lit in the lobby downstairs. Cai Fu walked to the front door in the dim candlelight, opened it, and went out.

As a northwest wind blew through the gate, Cai Fu saw a shivering figure emerge from the darkness.

"Suck it!"

Pang Qiuxia hugged herself tightly, sniffed, and looked pitifully at Cai Fu:

“Cai Fugeigei…”

"Shh!"

Cai Fu raised a finger and covered her cherry-like mouth with it, feeling her lips as cool and soft as ice.

Pang Qiuxia blushed and subconsciously shrank her neck, only to see Cai Fu beckon her with his finger.

Cai Fu turned and walked through the gate, and Pang Qiuxia hurriedly followed him in like a husky.

Cai Fu picked out the untouched cooked beef left on the table and gave it to Pang Qiuxia.

With a beef in one hand and a half-full jar of wine in the other, Cai Fu led Pang Qiuxia to Hua Rong's room.

Hua Rong, knowing the situation, gave the room to Cai Fu and Pang Qiuxia, and went to sleep with Yang Zaixing and Yu Hualong.

Cai Fu closed the door and lit a half-burnt candle, which warmed the room.

Pang Qiuxia snatched the cooked beef, jumped onto the bed, covered her numb legs with the blanket, and began to wolf down the beef while holding the plate.

At this moment, Pang Qiuxia no longer cared that her crush was there; she was hungry and cold outside!

Anyone who frequently goes hungry during the coldest days of winter knows that the colder it is, the hungrier you get, and the hungrier you get, the colder it gets!
Pang Qiuxia, a gentle girl from a water town in southern China, had never suffered like this in her life...

Cai Fuqing couldn't help but pat her little head and hand her the wine jar:
"Have a bite to warm yourself up."
