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

Chapter 557 Zhao Fujin: Cai Ya can go, but I can't? [2 Updates]

Cai Ya's once bright and expectant eyes have turned back into lifeless, dead fish eyes.

"King Qi did not come..."

"what?"

The young scholar sighed in disappointment.

She had finally managed to sneak out of the palace, hoping to see her fiancé.

I was disappointed to find no one there, and I don't know when I'll see Cai Fu again...

The young scholar could usually resist seeing Cai Fu, but now that she had, she was satisfied.

But not seeing it only fueled the unhealthy growth of her inner thoughts...

Cai Ya heard the young scholar's lament and turned to look at her with a half-smile:
"Fifth Young Master, what's wrong?"

"Is it not swollen...?"

To conceal the rampant growth of unseen desires within him, the young scholar quickly changed the subject:
"Has Sister Cai seen your crush yet?"

"Ding!"

Luan Yu's ears perked up.

Cai Ya shook her head with a wry smile: "No, he... didn't come either."

Young scholar: "Oh..."

Cai Ya's eyes flickered as she recalled the task her father had given her:

"Fifth Young Master, I've made up my mind!"

The young scholar was taken aback: "Decid what?"

Cai Ya resolutely declared, "I'm going to Qingzhou to see him!"

Little scholar: Σ(｀д′*ノ)ノ

Although her intention was to seduce the young scholar, Cai Ya herself had made up her mind:

"I can't take it anymore!"

"I want to see him, even if it's just once!"
"Even if he scolds me, hits me, or kicks me out, I will still go to see him!"

The young scholar was stunned: "Sister Cai, the journey from Tokyo to Qingzhou is a long one, I wonder how difficult it must be..."

"Aren't you afraid?"

"Not afraid!"

Cai Ya said firmly:

"I'm not young anymore. How many years of youthful beauty can a girl have?"
"I don't want him to see me old and faded; I want him to only remember me when I was young and beautiful!"
"I know I'm not good enough for him. I just want to serve him for a few more years while I'm still young and beautiful..."

The young scholar couldn't help but ask, "What if Feng Hua is no longer here...?"

Cai Ya said even more resolutely, "I will leave!"

The young scholar blinked his bewildered eyes: "What are you trying to achieve by doing this?"

"Fifth Young Master, you don't understand."

Cai Ya didn't explain to the young scholar, but simply asked her:
"You haven't seen the person you wanted to see either. Do you want to come with me?"

"Let's go together!"

Cai Ya's resolute decision gave the young scholar courage:

Cai Ya can go, but I can't?
After finishing his sentence, the young scholar realized something was amiss and added:
"Sister Cai, I'll keep you company!"

"The road is too dangerous, I brought many guards with me!"

Cai Ya chuckled: "Fifth Young Master, I'm leaving now. Are you going back to make preparations?"

"I……"

The young scholar knew perfectly well that once he returned, he would never be able to leave again, but he was worried that leaving without saying goodbye would anger Emperor Huizong of Song.

Although Emperor Huizong doted on her and treated her like a precious jewel, this matter was still far too serious...

"As you wish!"

Cai Ya's smile faded, and the corners of her mouth turned down.
"Once I've made up my mind, I'm determined to do it!"

Everyone should go crazy for something at least once in their life!
"I don't want to regret it when I'm old!"

After saying this, Cai Ya glanced at the young scholar and then said to Luan Yu and the other guards:

"let's go!"

Without hesitation, Luan Yu protected Cai Ya and pushed her through the crowd. No matter what, he would stay by Cai Ya's side.

Because of Cai Ya's noble status, he couldn't offer her much, so his main focus was on companionship.

"Sigh—" The young scholar was provoked by Cai Ya's glare, gritted his teeth, and led several guards to chase after her:

"Sister Cai, wait for me!"

Several guards pretended to persuade the young scholar:

"Young master, should we tell the master..."

"Don't say it!"

The young scholar glared at them fiercely:
"When I get back, I'll go and apologize to the master myself!"

She wasn't actually that afraid of Emperor Huizong, since he had always forgiven her for whatever she had done wrong in the past.

The guards looked troubled, but were actually overjoyed, and helped the young scholar squeeze out of the crowd.

Cai Ya came prepared, carrying silver coins with her.

The young scholar hadn't prepared any money, but he wasn't short of a few taels of silver.

If you're really short of money, pawning the gold bracelet on her wrist would be enough for a round trip to Qingzhou.

So Cai Ya and the young scholar formed a small convoy and set off from Tokyo to Qingzhou...

……

Xijing.

"Hulala..."

Lin Chong turned the sheepskin bag upside down, and ten ferocious-looking human heads rolled all over the ground!
The generals on either side remained unfazed; they were all seasoned veterans, and none of them hadn't seen a human head before.

"This one is He Heita, the young marshal of the Jin Kingdom!"

Lin Chong introduced each of the heads to Lu Zhishen one by one:

"This one is Marshal Dou Bili of the Jin Kingdom!"

"This one is the fifth marshal of the Jin Dynasty, Walibo!"

Lin Chong's introduction gradually moved the generals around him. Those with numbers before "Marshal" were all commanding generals!

In other words, the Fifth Marshal, Walibo, held a position in the State of Qi equivalent to that of Lu Zhishen!

The last head Lin Chong introduced caused everyone to gasp involuntarily:
"This one is Zeli, the fifth prince of the Jin Kingdom!"

"hiss--"

Even Lu Zhishen's eyes widened in surprise; the Fifth Prince Zeli's status was comparable to that of the Prince of Guangping!
Lu Zhishen only told Lin Chong to kill ten named Jin generals, but unexpectedly Lin Chong even killed the fifth prince of the Jin Kingdom!
Lu Zhishen laughed heartily, strode forward, and opened his arms to embrace Lin Chong:
"Good kill!"

"elder brother……"

Holding Lu Zhishen in his arms, Lin Chong was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes; he had finally found what he had lost.

When they first became sworn brothers, Lin Chong didn't think too highly of Lu Zhishen.

After all, at that time Lu Zhishen was just a flower monk who looked after a vegetable garden.

However, times have changed, and Lu Zhishen is now the "Grand Commander of Huaixi" of the State of Qi!

In the State of Qi, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was second only to the emperor and above ten thousand others!
Only when Lu Zhishen was still able to embrace him at this point did Lin Chong realize how precious Lu Zhishen's heart was...

"brother!"

Lu Zhishen sensed Lin Chong's trembling body, so he hugged Lin Chong's waist tightly.

"Well……"

Lin Chong grunted.

A strip of flesh was sliced ​​off his waist by a Jin soldier's spear, and it hadn't fully healed yet.

When Lu Zhishen tightened his arm around the wound, he caused the healed wound to burst open!
That would have been fine, Lin Chong could tolerate it, but what he couldn't tolerate was the chicken bone he kept close to his body getting stuck in his wound...

Lu Zhishen quickly released Lin Chong, and seeing bloodstains on Lin Chong's waist, he tore open Lin Chong's clothes.

Sure enough, I saw the wound I had squeezed so hard, and a chicken bone stuck in it.

"What is this?"

Completely bewildered, Lu Zhishen pulled the chicken bone out of Lin Chong's wound.
"Boom!"

"hiss--"

Lin Chong couldn't help but gasp!
In a moment of madness, Lu Zhishen stuck the chicken bone back in.
"Pfft!"

Lin Chong broke out in a cold sweat from the pain: "Brother, be gentle..."

Lu Zhishen scratched his bald head with a strange expression:

"Brother, what kind of folk remedy is this...?"
