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

Chapter 538 Gongsun Sheng: Unfathomable! [1st Update]

When Yang Zaixing, Yu Hualong, He Yuanqing and the others arrived, the battle was already over.

As the eldest brother, Yang Zaixing inquired about Gao Chong's situation with concern:

"Third brother, we just saw a huge fire and torrential rain in the Imperial Garden..."

"How are you?"

Gao Chong patted Fan Quan's head, which was tied to the saddle, with great enthusiasm:
"Brother, how did you know I took the head of the King of Chu?"

Yang Zaixing, Yu Hualong, He Yuanqing: (_)(_)(_)
The three brothers certainly wanted to take credit, but they couldn't compete with them!

Horses are not as fast as Gao Chong's, nor are spears as fast as Gao Chong's!

Hoping that some enemy could slow down Gao Chong's advance, but none of them proved to be capable!
"Gao Yiqiang" truly lives up to his name; he has no equal who can withstand a single blow!
Gao Chong was feeling smug when Cai Fu arrived. Gao Chong happily went to greet him:

"Father is here!"

Cai Fu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his four adopted sons were all full of energy.

“What just happened?
"Why do I see both raging fires and torrential rain in the Imperial Garden...?"

"Shh-"

Yang Zaixing, Yu Hualong, and He Yuanqing all turned to look at Gao Chong.

Sure enough, Gao Chong patted Fan Quan's head, which was tied to the saddle, with a grin.
"Father, how did you know I took the head of the King of Chu?"

Cai Fugang wanted to praise him, but suddenly noticed the key point:
"My darling, come closer!"

Gao Chong, unaware of the reason, turned his horse's head so that the Jade Lion and the Fire Dragon Steed were side by side, thus bringing the father and son closer together.

Cai Fu immediately noticed that the Jade Lion's flowing white ponytail had been burned bald!
The horse's rear end was blackened by the smoke!
Looking again at Gao Chong's cloak, it was burned down to just half...

Cai Fu's expression immediately changed: "My darling, what exactly happened just now?"

Gao Chong, unaware that he had been exposed, said smugly:

“Just now, I charged in all by myself, first killing an Imperial Guard Commander, then a Taoist priest…”

Cai Fu pressed further, "Did the Taoist priest not perform any magic?"

"He cast a spell, but it's alright. The Imperial Advisor broke his spell and took his life with a single spear thrust..."

Gao Chong was showing off when Cai Fu slapped his helmet, making his head buzz!
Why did Father hit me?

Gao Chong, his eyes glazed over, took off his helmet and asked with a pitiful expression.

Cai Fu snorted coldly: "What do you think?"

He ripped off half of Gao Chong's cloak and showed it to him.

The white cloak was burned black, and it was riddled with holes.

Gao Chong scratched his head sheepishly: "The fire's a bit too big..."

"Is the fire just a bit too big?"

Cai Fu's face turned green: "If the Imperial Advisor hadn't arrived in time, do you know what the consequences would have been?"

Gongsun Sheng was taken aback: Could it be that the king also saw that this child looked like he was destined to die young?
Gao Chong, young and impetuous, didn't take it seriously, but only gave perfunctory replies:

"Father, I understand..."

"You're as good as a fool!"

Cai Fu became increasingly angry as he spoke, pointing out that Gao Chong only lived for two chapters in the original novel!

He appeared in Chapter Thirty-Eight and died in Chapter Thirty-Nine!
Cai Fu didn't want Gao Chong to die young; he was still hoping to lead Gao Chong to victory at the Battle of Langjuxu!

"Listen up, all four of you!"

"Especially your darling, and your Daxing!"

Cai Fu glared angrily at Yang Zaixing, who was completely dumbfounded.

No, what did I do wrong?

"Being eager to achieve merit and underestimating the enemy while advancing recklessly is a grave mistake!"

Cai Fu pointed at each of them and cursed them, finally landing his finger on Gao Chong's nose: "Chong'er, listen to me, it doesn't matter how many great deeds you've accomplished!"

"The most important thing is to come back alive!"

"You are all my sons, and I don't want anything to happen to any of you!"

"I want you all to live well!"

"Daddy..."

Gao Chong's eyes reddened, tears welled up in his eyes, and he wanted to say something but tears flowed before he could speak.

Yang Zaixing, Yu Hualong, and He Yuanqing were all moved; they could sense the sincerity in Cai Fu's words.

Cai Fu always kept them by his side and taught them like his own sons.

Therefore, their values ​​inevitably gravitated towards Cai Fu's, and their emotions inevitably resonated with Cai Fu's.

As the eldest brother, Yang Zaixing was the first to express his opinion:
"Please rest assured, Father, I will always remember your teachings!"

Gao Chong, Yu Hualong, and He Yuanqing all told their father to rest assured.

Cai Fu's expression softened, and he ruffled Gao Chong's hair.
"Look at the state of your horse's rear end."

When Gao Chong turned around, he noticed that the horse's tail was completely burned off, and its once snow-white rump was now blackened with soot...

It was only at this moment that Gao Chong felt a sense of dread. If Gongsun Sheng hadn't come, he might have been burned to death!

Gao Chong reflected on Cai Fu's teachings and understood them even more deeply, and resolutely decided not to rush headlong into things anymore.

At the same time, Gongsun Sheng looked at Gao Chong with a strange expression:

Why has this child's appearance changed?

He clearly saw Gao Chong before as someone who would die young, but now he looks like he'll live to be at least seventy!

"hiss--"

Gongsun Sheng couldn't help but gasp, instinctively glancing at Cai Fu:
Your Majesty is indeed a god descended to earth!
Unfathomable, unfathomable!
……

"Hurry up!"

Song Jiang and Wu Yong led several hundred cavalrymen and fled Nanfeng Prefecture in a panic.

These hundreds of cavalrymen were all former underlings whom Song Jiang had brought from Liangshan Marsh. They had followed Song Jiang through many battles and suffered repeated defeats, making them a battle-hardened elite force.

Time was of the essence, and Song Jiang had only brought out such a small number of men. They fled in panic, like stray dogs or fish that had escaped a net, for dozens of miles...

Exhausted and hungry, the men and horses stopped to rest in the roadside woods at Wu Yong's suggestion.

Song Jiang dismounted and limped to a large rock to sit on.

After catching his breath for a while, Song Jiang finally remembered to count the heads. He turned around and looked:
Where is the "unobstructed" aspect?

"Unobstructed" Mu Hong?
Qin Ming and Lei Heng exchanged glances, then Wu Yong remembered: "Today is Brother Mu Hong's patrol day..."

It's over!

Song Jiang's heart skipped a beat. The Qi army had already broken in; needless to say, what had become of the patrolmen?

"Brother Mu Hong, waaaaah..."

Song Jiang's eyes immediately welled up with tears:

“You followed me from Jiangzhou to Liangshan, then from Liangshan to Erlong Mountain, then from Erlong Mountain to Gaizhou, and from Gaizhou to Nanfeng Prefecture…”

"We've been together day and night, through thick and thin, like brothers... *sobs*"

"Now that you've abandoned me, how am I supposed to live, Brother Mu Hong..."

Song Jiang was in tears, beating his chest and stamping his feet, heartbroken and hysterical.

It was truly heartbreaking to hear, and even Wu Yong, Qin Ming, and Lei Heng, who were standing nearby, were moved to tears.

Just then, someone came panting heavily into the woods, shouting in a sweat:

"Grasshopper, Iron Flood is coming!"
