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

Chapter 523 Dong Ping: This is a master! [1st update]

"General Gao!"

Upon seeing the iron-faced general, Dong Chao and Xue Ba immediately recognized him:

Isn't this Gao Ping, the adopted son of Grand Commandant Gao?

That one ear, so identical to Gao Qiu's, clearly shows they're father and son!

Originally, Gao Ping had a crooked nose. It is said that his nose was smashed by the guards of the Grand Tutor's mansion, so he was forced to wear an iron mask.

In all of Tokyo, there was no other general with only one ear wearing a half-face iron mask except for Takahira.

Therefore, Dong Chao and Xue Ba recognized him at a glance and immediately stepped forward to complain:

"General Gao, these two are close friends of our master. They have come from afar, and our master has sent us to accompany them on a tour of the city of Tokyo!"

"Unexpectedly, he was beaten to death in the street by the village donkey. We don't know how to explain this to our relatives!"

"General Gao, you must stand up for us!"

This iron-faced general was none other than "Double-Gun General" Dong Ping, who naturally knew Zhang Bangchang's lackeys.

Upon hearing that the two deceased were Zhang Bangchang's close friends, Dong Ping knew which side he should take.

After all, there were many dirty deals between Gao Qiu and Zhang Bangchang...

The boy argued vehemently: "No, they..."

"Hmph! What do you mean 'not'?"

Dong Ping glared at him and interrupted him fiercely:

Is it your fault or mine?

"Murder in the street is intolerable under the law!"

"Guards, tie him up and send him to Kaifeng Prefecture!"

At Dong Ping's command, a group of imperial guards behind him immediately swarmed forward!

The young man flew into a rage: "Under the emperor's very nose, how can there be no reasoning?"

Under the emperor's nose, who the hell will listen to reason with you?
The Imperial Guards sneered inwardly. "You've offended the Prefect of Kaifeng. Do you think you can defy the heavens?"
"let me go!"

Several imperial guards held the boy down, but he defiantly shook off their hands.

Immediately, one of the imperial guards shouted, "He dares to resist arrest!"
"He even dared to attack the Imperial Guards!"

"Shh-"

The imperial guards immediately stepped aside, and a row of guards behind them raised their spears and thrust them at the boy without hesitation!
"Do not--"

The young woman, tears streaming down her face, clung to the carriage window and screamed:

"Stop! He's just a child—"

I don’t care about you!

This group of well-trained imperial guards immediately launched a "salted fish thrust"!
The boy was both shocked and furious: "You're arresting people without even knowing the facts!"
"Now they're killing people without even distinguishing right from wrong!"
"Is there still heavenly law? Is there still kingly law?"

With a roar, the boy jumped up from the carriage and reached out to grab the top of the carriage canopy!
A long strip wrapped in thick cloth was tied to the top of the carriage shed, which he pulled down.

"Shh-"

The boy grabbed the long stick and swung it with all his might against the dense barrage of spears thrusting towards him!
"boom--"

Countless spearheads snapped in the process, and even the rank of Imperial Guards were sent flying backward by the terrifying force transmitted from the spear shafts!
One of the spear tips even flew out and, by sheer coincidence, pierced and killed an Imperial Guard!
Upon seeing this, Dong Ping flew into a rage: "Hmph! How dare you kill an Imperial Guard in the street right under the Emperor's nose!"
"This fellow is definitely a traitor!"

"kill him!"

Another one died?
The young woman was utterly bewildered: Three lives have been taken, including one by a member of the Imperial Guard. Tokyo really is incompatible with our family!

The hundred Imperial Guards that Dong Ping brought immediately surrounded the young men and stabbed them to death from all directions!
However, being stabbed to death by random gunfire was only the outcome they imagined; the boy swung the long stick around like a windmill!

"Boom boom boom——"

All the imperial guards surrounding the boy were sent flying backward, and upon landing, they all simultaneously coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Pfft—" Dong Ping was furious: "Hmph! You little beast! Stop being so arrogant!"
"Take my shot!"

The Imperial Guards quickly retreated to the outer perimeter, and Dong Ping urged his curly-haired lion beast forward, charging menacingly towards the youth.

"Hmph! Die!"

The young man leaped onto his blue-maned horse and gently shook the long stick in his hand:
"Bam—"

The thick cloth wrapped around the long strip burst open, revealing a tiger-headed, gold-inlaid spear inside!

"Shh-"

Before Dong Ping's spear could even arrive, the boy's tiger-headed gold-inlaid spear had already thrust towards Dong Ping's face!

"Humph!"

Dong Ping sneered, calmly using his left hand to deflect the tiger-head gold-inlaid spear, while his right hand thrust the silver spear at the boy!

However, to his surprise, his left-hand silver spear could not deflect the tiger-head gold-inlaid spear!
"Shh-"

The tiger-headed, gold-inlaid spear roared as it pounced on Dong Ping like a tiger descending a mountain!
Good guy!
Dong Ping broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly performed a backbend, falling backward onto the horse's rump!
The gleaming spearhead swept past his face, and Dong Ping crossed his two spears and desperately parried the tiger-headed gold-inlaid spear upwards!

The intense friction between the tiger-head gold-inlaid spear and the silver-inlaid spear sparked a string of sparks!
"Squeak..."

The tooth-grinding friction sound made Dong Ping's eardrums ache!
This is a master!

Dong Ping's heart skipped a beat. He gritted his teeth and used both spears to deflect the force of the tiger-headed gold-inlaid spear to the side!

"what?"

The young man was excited at the sight of the hunt, and he didn't expect that Dong Ping was so skilled in martial arts that he could actually block one of his shots!
He has a nickname, "Gao Yiqiang" (meaning "High One Shot"), because no one has ever been able to withstand a single shot from him!
"it is good!"

The boy shouted, "Again!"

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding..."

The boy and Dong Ping exchanged three or five blows in the blink of an eye, and anyone who wasn't blind could see that Dong Ping was at a disadvantage.

To be more precise, Dong Ping was completely outmatched by the boy from the very beginning, only able to parry and unable to retaliate...

Dong Chao and Xue Ba watched with growing anxiety, and couldn't help but exchange a glance:
How can this be good?

If we're talking about insults, Xue Ba is the one.

He was the one who boiled water to wash Lin Chong's feet when he and Dong Chao escorted Lin Chong to Cangzhou.

Later, he and Dong Chao escorted Lu Junyi to Shamen Island, and he was the one who boiled water for Lu Junyi to wash his feet.

At this moment, Xue Ba's little eyes darted around, and while the boy and Dong Ping were fighting fiercely, he sneaked over to the side of the carriage.

Xue Ba drew his sword and held it to the young woman's neck, shouting:
"You little beast, stop now!"

The boy glanced back briefly and was both shocked and furious:
"You thief! Let go of my mother!"

The young woman cried out through tears, "My son, go quickly, don't worry about me!"

"Cut the nonsense!"

Xue Ba roared viciously, "Still dare to resist? Don't blame me for chopping off your mother's head with one stroke!"

"leave me alone!"

The young woman told the boy without hesitation:
"Your mother is dying, and you are our only son!"

"Don't worry about me! Go! Go—"

"mother--"

The young man, his hair standing on end in fury and his eyes blazing with rage, suddenly roared and pressed a spear against Dong Ping's chest:
"A life for a life!"

"Ah this..."

Xue Ba was annoyed: No, didn't your father, Grand Commandant Gao, always boast that you were brave enough to fight ten thousand men?
How come a kid managed to get you under his thumb?
Dong Ping was even more frustrated. Since he mastered martial arts and dominated the world, he had never experienced such a crushing defeat!

"You can't afford it!"

Xue Ba gritted his teeth and glared, betting that the young man was a filial son, and slashed the young woman's neck with the blade!
