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

Chapter 532 Duan Sanniang: Oh no! Song Jiang is about to rebel! [1st update]

Chu State, Nanfeng Prefecture.

"My beloved concubine, I am doing this to relieve Dou Wa!"

Wang Qing comforted Duan Sanniang with a look of deep affection:
"Do you think I can't see the open and covert struggle between your brother and Song Qing recently?"

"They are all subjects of the State of Chu. I cannot bear to see them fight amongst themselves, which is why I have set out this reconciliation feast today."

"I hope that for my sake, they will put aside their prejudices, shake hands and make peace, and let bygones be bygones."

Duan Sanniang curled her lip and said, "Hmph! Who told him to be so high-profile as soon as he arrived, causing trouble in the army!"
"Didn't you say that the Minister of War was a nominal position?"

Wang Qing smiled wryly and said, "My dear consort, his commanders can't be without a single soldier, can they?"

"I must at least show them that I trust them."

"Don't worry, my dear consort. Your uncle Fang Han is the Privy Councilor, and he controls the army!"
"What kind of trouble can Song Qing, who is new here, possibly cause?"
"Let's not talk about this anymore, baby, give me a kiss!"

Duan Sanniang was even more lustful than Wang Qing. After being embraced and kissed by Wang Qing, she didn't say anything.

The two were being intimate when a eunuch came in to report:
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, all the guests have arrived."

Wang Qing then shut his tongue and, pulling Duan San Niang along, straightened their clothes and went out together.

At the banquet, Wang Qing glanced around and saw that Duan's men and Song Jiang's men were clearly divided, and tensions were high.

It is clear that a verbal conflict occurred between the two sides before Wang Qing arrived.

On the Duan family's side came Duan San Niang's two brothers, Duan Er and Duan Wu, her uncle Fang Han, and her cousin Qiu Xiang.

Besides Song Jiang, Wu Yong, Qin Ming, Lei Heng, Mu Hong, and Guo Sheng were also present on Song Jiang's side.

Duan sat on the left, Song Jiang sat on the right, and Wang Qing and Duan San Niang sat in the middle after they arrived.

When Song Jiang saw Wang Qing arrive, they all immediately stood up and bowed to him respectfully.

The Duan family was very perfunctory, showing little respect for Wang Qing, and they were all quite nonchalant.

The main problem was Duan's mindset.

After all, Wang Qing was just a fugitive who became a son-in-law in the Duan family.

Moreover, Wang Qing rose to power with the support of the Duan family, so they did not adjust their own positioning properly.

Duan San Niang's cousin, Qiu Xiang, said angrily:

"Brother-in-law, you've come at the right time! You be the judge!"

"I am the Imperial Guard Commander, in charge of the Imperial Guards!"

"But why do the troops under Song Jiang refuse to obey my orders?"

The leaders brought by Song Jiang were all appointed as military commanders, among whom Qin Ming, Huang Xin, and Guo Sheng were assigned to the Imperial Guard.

Wang Qing frowned and asked Song Jiang, "Song Qing, what is the reason for this?"

Song Jiang sighed: "Your Majesty, if the Imperial Guard Commander orders them to do military duties and they refuse to obey orders, I will certainly scold them severely!"

"But the Imperial Guard ordered them to build houses..."

Qin Ming said with a face full of indignation, "Your Majesty, we are soldiers, and we are willing to die on the battlefield!"

"But why should we be allowed to build houses?"

"We, the Imperial Guards, are not his household servants!"

"fart!"

Qiu Xiang was furious: "You make excuses when we ask you to build houses, but would you go to the battlefield if we asked you to?"

Qin Ming glared angrily: "If the Imperial Guard Commander won't let us go to the battlefield, how do you know we're unwilling to go?"

"How dare you talk back?"

Qiu Xiang slammed his hand on the table:
"Come on, slap the mouth!"

"Shh-"

Song Jiang, Qin Ming, and the others all turned to look at Wang Qing.

Wang Qing was overjoyed and nodded slightly.
"Never mind, it's Chinese New Year!"

Upon receiving Wang Qing's signal, Qin Ming abruptly overturned the table:
(ノBenefit)ノ彡┻━┻

In a flash, Qin Ming lunged forward, grabbing Qiu Xiang's neck with both hands and twisting it violently as if wringing out a towel.
"Crack!" Qiu Xiang's neck was snapped by Qin Ming!

"hiss--"

Wang Qing's face changed drastically, and he collapsed to the ground, stammering:

"Why go to such lengths during the Lunar New Year?"

Duan Sanniang suddenly realized: "Oh no! Song Jiang is about to rebel!"

At the same time, Lei Heng leaped up like a winged tiger and landed directly in front of Fang Han!
"Shh-"

In the blink of an eye, Lei Heng was right in front of Fang Han. He shouted in a panic:
"Lei Heng, what are you doing? I am the Privy Councilor!"

He grabbed a plate and smashed it against the ground, shattering it. Lei Heng then grabbed the broken plate and swung it violently.
"Cha-"

The sharp edges of the broken plate, like a blade, easily sliced ​​open Fang Han's throat!

Fang Han hurriedly covered his throat, but blood kept gushing out from between his fingers...

At the same time that Lei Heng made his move, Guo Sheng rushed towards Duan Wu. Duan Wu reacted quickly and grabbed the chair.

"call--"

Duan Wu slammed the chair down on Guo Sheng, who dodged it and then started fighting with Duan Wu.

On the other side, Mu Hong also clashed with Duan Er.

Duan Er's martial arts skills were even better than Mu Hong's, and he was dominating Mu Hong's fight.

Guo Sheng and Duan Wu were evenly matched, resulting in a draw.

"Cousin-in-law—Uncle-in-law—"

Seeing her two relatives die tragically on the spot, Duan Sanniang was both shocked and furious. Turning her head, she saw Wang Qing sitting on the ground, pale-faced and trembling. With annoyance, she flicked her sleeve:
"Useless trash! Everyone, heed my command—"

"Pfft!"

Duan San Niang swayed, then looked down in a daze:
A blood-stained sword blade pierced through his large belly!
Duan San Niang turned around in a daze and saw that the one who killed her was Wang Qing!
Duan San Niang could hardly believe her eyes:

"You, you were just kissing me..."

Your breath stinks!

Wang Qing gagged and kicked Duan San Niang's big buttocks.

Duan Sanniang fell forward involuntarily, unable to believe until her death that Wang Qing would dare to lay a hand on her...

"Third Sister!"

Seeing that Duan Sanniang had died at Wang Qing's hands, Duan Er suddenly realized:

"Wang Qing, you've actually used me and then discarded me!"

"boom!"

Qin Ming killed Qiu Xiang and came over to help, sweeping a whirlwind kick across Duan Er's neck!
"Gaba!"

Duan Er's neck snapped instantly, and his head suddenly spun around, landing behind him!

In his final moments, Duan Er witnessed Lei Heng and Guo Sheng working together to kill Duan Wu...

"it is good!"

Wang Qing's pale and trembling appearance vanished, replaced by a ruddy complexion and a spirited wave of his hand:
"The Duan family rebelled and defied the emperor, but fortunately, Minister of War Song Jiang and others risked their lives to protect their lord, and only then were the traitors killed..."

"Song Jiang, what are you doing?"

He stared in disbelief as Song Jiang pulled the sword from Duan Sanniang's back and walked towards him step by step.

"Hey hey hey..."

Song Jiang said with a sinister grin:
"The Duan family rebelled and defied the emperor. Although Minister of War Song Jiang and others fought desperately to protect their lord, Duan Sanniang was right beside the king. She drew the king's sword and stabbed the king to death with one stroke!"

As he spoke, Song Jiang thrust his sword fiercely towards Wang Qing:

"Your Majesty, I have already executed the traitor Duan!"
"You can rest in peace now!"

Wang Qing's face turned green, and he hurriedly shouted:
"Protect the Emperor! Protect the Emperor!"
