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

Chapter 544 Cai Fu: You've fallen for my trap! [1st update]

Foreign Lord Li Shufu?
Cai Fu looked Li Shufu up and down, and memories of him came to mind.

In the original novel, Li Shufu slapped Jin Wuzhu to the ground as soon as he appeared.

After three or four rounds, they captured Yue Fei's fourth son, Yue Lin.

Although Yue Lin's martial arts skills were mediocre, Li Shufu's strength should not be underestimated.

Li Shufu was already a very good fighter, but his nephew Hei Manlong was even better.

Hei Manlong wielded a pair of large iron hammers and fought Yue Yun for a hundred rounds without a clear winner as soon as he appeared.

Not only are they good fighters, but they're also allies.

After capturing Yue Lin alive, Li Shufu ascertained Yue Lin's identity and then betrothed his daughter, Princess Yunman, to Yue Lin.

In other words, Li Shufu was Yue Fei's relative by marriage.

Hei Manlong is Yue Yun's sworn brother.

After learning that Yue Fei and his son had been murdered, he lied to Li Shufu and led three thousand Miao soldiers to Lin'an.

He fell into Zhang Jun's trap, and if it weren't for Han Shizhong's son, Han Yanzhi, saving him, he would have been finished.

However, this also led to Hei Manlong and Han Yanzhi becoming sworn brothers...

In short, Li Shufu was not an outsider.

Therefore, Cai Fu forbade Gao Chong to kill him, and only asked Li Shufu why he had invaded Nanning Prefecture.

Although Li Shufu lived in a remote corner, Cai Fu's reputation was so great that it had already spread to Yunnan.

In addition, Li Shufu was defeated by Gao Chong, a mere child, and lost all his spirit, so he confessed honestly.

"The people of Nanning Prefecture killed your vanguard, Chili?"

Cai Fu was very curious: "Just for a golden leopard?"

Li Shufu: "Mmm-hmm!"

Cai Fu laughed: "You believe that?"

Li Shufu was taken aback: "My Miao soldiers would never dare to lie to me..."

"Is it possible that your subordinate Miao Bing was also deceived?"

Cai Fu asked him, "Do you know that Chai Gui is dead?"

Li Shufu: "I know."

Cai Fu pointed to Chai Niangniang, who was carrying a child:

"Nanning Prefecture doesn't even have a man who can hold his own right now."

"Only a widow and her children are left, and you have bullied them to this extent."

"Do you still believe that there is such a person in Nanning Prefecture who killed your vanguard Chili for a leopard?"

"Ah this..."

Li Shufu scratched his head, feeling a little itchy.
"Does Your Majesty mean... that such a person does not exist?"

"Yes, but it may not be from Nanning Prefecture."

Cai Fu asked Li Shufu, "Have you encountered any opponents in Nanning Prefecture?"

Li Shufu shook his head: "That guy I chased away before, what was he called Thunder Tiger? He's got some skills too..."

At this point, Li Shufu suddenly realized: "Does the King mean him?"

Cai Fu was taken aback: "What Thunder Tiger?"

At this moment, Lady Chai timidly interjected:

“That’s my master’s cousin Chai Jin’s attendant, named ‘Thunderbolt’ Qin Ming…”

Cai Fu chuckled: "So it was him!"
"They've been here?"

"Exactly..."

Because Lady Chai came out relatively late, she did not know that Cai Fu was the King of Qi; she only knew that Cai Fu had saved her and her child.

So she answered whatever Cai Fu asked, telling him everything about Chai Jin's comings and goings.

After listening, Cai Fu understood the situation:

"If Chai Jin and his men drive Li Shufu away."

What will you do?

Lady Chai paused for two seconds, then said, her face pale:
“My son and I are simply powerless to defend Nanning Prefecture.”

"It's like a child carrying gold through a bustling market; not only will he not be able to keep the gold, but he might also bring about his own death."

“Uncle is originally from the Chai family, and he saved my mother and me. Perhaps he is more suitable to guard Nanning Prefecture…”

At this point, Lady Chai's heart skipped a beat:

“This…no way, Uncle doesn’t seem like that kind of person…” Cai Fu asked with a smile, “What kind of person?”

Lady Chai fell silent.

Cai Fu then looked at Li Shufu: "Do you understand now?"

Li Shufu blinked his big eyes:
"Could the one who killed my vanguard be her uncle?"

Cai Fu nodded: "You've fallen for their trap."

"That's despicable! That's shameless!"

Li Shufu was so angry that he slapped his thigh:
"If I run into that bastard, I'll smash his dog head in with a shovel!"

"You'd better figure out how to save your own head first."

Cai Fu smiled and pulled out his large, cleaver, slicing a Dali pear:
"It's your business if you fell into their trap, but you led Miao soldiers to kill my people—"

How could I possibly forgive you?

"Ah this——"

Li Shufu was dumbfounded and hurriedly bowed to Cai Funa:

"I know I was wrong, and I beg Your Majesty's forgiveness!"

Now you can tell who the king and queen are?
Cai Fu skillfully peeled the Dali pear, his large, gleaming cleaver slicing the skin as thin as a cicada's wing.
This is a knife-training game that he invented himself.

At first, I either peeled the pear skin too thickly or broke it, but now I peel it as well as if I had used a fruit knife.

Ignoring Li Shufu, Cai Fu effortlessly peeled the Dali pear.

With a gentle pull, the pear skin falls off in circles, forming a long string that looks like latte art.

"Wow--"

A childish exclamation.

Cai Fujian raised an eyebrow and looked at the child standing with Chai Niangniang.

The children were stunned.

Cai Fu smiled and waved to him, and the child immediately ran over.

"Fu'er!"

Lady Chai panicked and tried to stop the child, but the child had already run up to Cai Fu.

Cai Fu picked up the pear peel to show him, and asked with a smile:
"Is it extravagant or not?"

The child sucked his fingers and said, "Shezhe!"

Cai Fu laughed and handed him the peeled Dali pear.

The child took the Dali pear, blinked his large, clear eyes, and then pointed to the ghost-headed broadsword in Cai Fu's hand:

"Uncle Big Knife, I want to learn this!"

Uncle Big Knife?

Cai Fu was amused by his nickname and laughed heartily, rubbing his little head:
"You want to learn? I'll teach you!"

Although the child was only three or four years old, he had seen a bit of the world and immediately kowtowed at Cai Fu's feet:

"Master, please accept my bow!"

Cai Fu happily accepted him; this Chai Paifu was indeed a good man.

In the original story, he not only resolved his feud with the Yue family, but also acted as their protector.

He became sworn brothers with Yue Lei, Yue Ting, Yue Lin, Yue Zhen, and other second-generation generals of the Yue Family Army, with Chai Paifu being the eldest.

However, Chai Paifu's martial arts skills were only so-so, on par with Yue Lei and Yue Ting.

I wonder how successful I will be after raising me since I was a child.

Slow!

Cai Fu suddenly remembered something:

"Do you know who I am?"

Chai Paifu was taken aback: "You're Uncle Big Knife!"

"No, you are the master!"

Cai Fu had no intention of hiding anything from him, and told Chai Paifu frankly:

"I am the King of Qi."

Originally, Chai Niangniang thought her son was very fortunate to have such a powerful master.

Upon hearing Cai Fu's words, Chai Niangniang was struck dumb and instinctively rushed forward to protect Chai Paifu!

It's like playing a game of eagle catching chicks. Cai Fu is the eagle, Chai Paifu is the chick, and Chai Niangniang is the mother hen...
