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

Chapter 563 Luan Tingyu: Weren't you being very extravagant just now? [5th update, please subscribe]

If Lin Chong had said this before, Cai Fuzhen might not have believed him, because Lin Chong's dark history was too dark.

The fact that Lin Chong betrayed Lu Zhishen in the Wild Boar Forest was enough for Cai Fu to banish him to the sidelines.

But Lin Chong showed Cai Fu his change:

He really went to the northern frontier all by himself and racked up ten kills!
And it wasn't just a bunch of people; there were also marshals like Walibo and princes like Zeli!
That's already quite an achievement, especially considering that Cai Fu just witnessed Lin Chong single-handedly holding off the bandits.

With so many bandits, even Lin Chong would have had a hard time escaping, but he still went forward without hesitation!

Lin Chong's performance was very convincing, so Cai Fu believed him and helped Lin Chong up with both hands.
"A prodigal son who returns is more precious than gold; brother, welcome back!"

Lin Chong's eyes welled up with tears: Isn't this better than the little fat guy?
If I had sided with Cai Fu earlier, why would I have suffered so much with that fat little black guy?
Having dealt with Luan Tingyu and Lin Chong, Cai Fu turned his attention to the five kneeling mountain bandits:

What kind of people are you?

The five mountain bandits were terrified, and Jin Biao, the one with the big mouth, hurriedly confessed:

"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
"We became outlaws on the back mountain of Woniu Mountain. My name is Jin Biao!"
"These three are my sworn brothers—Hu Tianbao, Hu Tianqing, and Xu Qing!"
"That brother took refuge in the front of Woniu Mountain, and he was known in the martial arts world as 'General in Brocade Robe' Yue Zhen!"
"We five truly did not know that these were Your Majesty's family members. We had no intention of offending you, and we beg Your Majesty's forgiveness!"

Cai Fu laughed: "How did you know they were my family members?"

"Ah this..."

Jin Biao was dumbfounded and subconsciously looked at Luan Tingyu.

Luan Tingyu spat fiercely on his face:
"Weren't you being very extravagant just now?"

Mimicking Jin Biao's tone, Luan Tingyu arrogantly said:
"King Qi?"
"If he could fight his way from Liangshan Marsh to Qingzhou and establish his own kingdom, so can I, Jin Biao!"

"Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding!"

Jin Biao hurriedly explained, "What I meant was that I was going to Qingzhou to seek refuge with the King!"

"brute!"

General Yue Zhen, the "Brocade-Robed General" who later became the mountain bandit king, was both shocked and furious:
"You knew all along that these were the king's family members, why didn't you tell me?"
"You want me to help you besiege the king's generals?"
"Jin Biao, you're so disloyal!"

Yue Zhen was heartbroken when he heard the news. He had come to help, but he ended up being the one who was injured the most!
Jin Biao and the other three were only shot once, but he was shot twice!

Isn't this bullying the honest person?

Hu Tianbao and Hu Tianqing quickly spoke up for Jin Biao:
"We were in a critical situation and didn't have time to explain..."

Xu Qing also said, "If you don't help us, how can we withstand it?"

Thus, Cai Fu understood that Hu Tianbao, Hu Tianqing, Xu Qing, Jin Biao, and Yue Zhen were not in cahoots.

The two sides should only be acquaintances, and Jin Biao and his group even tricked Yue Zhen.

In the original story, the five mountain kings were all generals of Yue Fei's army, but in reality, Jin Biao was a cannibal.

Jin Biao immediately wanted to make a hangover soup with cow antlers when he first appeared, but Yue Zhen, who was visiting, saved him.

Although the original novel does not explicitly state whether Hu Tianbao, Hu Tianqing, and Xu Qing are cannibals, since they are accomplices of Jin Biao, even if they did not consume the hangover soup, they at least condoned Jin Biao's behavior.

Therefore, Cai Fu disliked the four of them very much.

Cai Fu glanced back at Cai Ya and Zhao Fujin, then suddenly frowned, strode up to Zhao Fujin, and hooked a finger under Zhao Fujin's delicate chin.

Zhao Fujin instinctively tried to struggle; no one had ever dared to treat her so lightly.

However, Cai Fu suddenly flew into a rage, his hair standing on end, which made Zhao Fujin's heart tremble.

Cai Fu suddenly turned around and waved his hand:
"kill!"

Upon hearing Cai Fu's resolute words, Hu Tianbao, Hu Tianqing, Xu Qing, and Jin Biao hurriedly cried and begged for mercy:
"Do not--"

"Your Majesty! Spare me, Your Majesty!"

"Ignorance is no excuse, Your Majesty!"

"If you kill me, I will haunt you even as a ghost!"

Cai Fu ignored them and turned his back. Gao Chong was about to make a move when he saw Lin Chong draw his spear: "Swish—"

Lin Chong was already prepared. As soon as Cai Fu finished speaking, he swept his eighteen-foot spear across the battlefield!
The winding spearheads swiftly, accurately, and ruthlessly severed the necks of the four cripples of Woniu Mountain!

“Bang bang bang bang—”

Hu Tianbao, Hu Tianqing, Xu Qing, and Jin Biao all fell to the ground at the same time, a spray of blood mist gushing from their necks!
Four plumes of blood mist joined together, as if they had dyed half the sky red!

Cai Ya instinctively wanted to cover her face with her sleeve, but when she thought that Cai Fu had killed the people for them, she forcibly suppressed it.

She glanced quickly at Zhao Fujin and was surprised to find that Zhao Fujin's expression remained unchanged!

You should know that Zhao Fujin was a real princess of the Song Dynasty. She grew up in the palace. What kind of upbringing did she receive from a young age?
Do you really think everyone in the palace is a good person?
In fact, Zhao Fujin was also frightened, but she knew that Cai Fu killed these four people for her sake.

Why not for Cai Ya?
Because Cai Fu lifted her chin and glanced at her throat.

Zhao Fujin knew that his throat had been pierced by the gold hairpin, and that bloodstains would inevitably remain.

This is why Cai Fu was so furious!
So even though Zhao Fujin was about to vomit, he still tried his best to keep his expression unchanged.

Although she wasn't officially married yet, Zhao Fujin was already subconsciously demanding of herself the standards of an empress.

"Your Majesty, spare me! I truly know nothing!"

Yue Zhen kowtowed to the ground: "I was just passing by!"
"They asked me for help, and I acted out of a sense of loyalty..."

"You helped without knowing anything; you're really loyal."

Cai Fu knew that Yue Zhenren was a good person, so he was willing to give him a chance:
"Fine, I'll give you a chance to live."

Have you ever heard of Song Jiang, the "Timely Rain"?

Yue Zhen nodded subconsciously: "I've heard of this person. He was the first general under the King!"

What the hell...

Cai Fu was speechless: "You're wrong, he wishes he could kill me!"

"what?"

Yue Zhen stared wide-eyed in disbelief, but Cai Fu waved his hand dismissively.

"Don't listen to the rumors circulating in the martial arts world."

"If you want to live, do one thing for me..."

……

There are a total of three thousand henchmen on both the front and back sides of Woniu Mountain.

Cai Fu was very curious as to why such a large group of bandits had been raised on the border of Qi.

After hearing Yue Zhen's explanation, Cai Fucai realized that the imperial army dared not come to the border of Qi, but Qi also followed the rules and would not cross the border even half a step.

Therefore, a no-man's-land was formed outside the border of the State of Qi.

Yue Zhen and his group took advantage of the situation to develop their business in the no-man's-land.

In other words, they actually benefited from Cai Fu's influence.

Therefore, Cai Fu decisively ordered a large-scale sweep along the border of Qi, prohibiting any more bandits from taking advantage of the situation.

After Yue Zhen helped organize the three thousand henchmen, he bid farewell to Cai Fu and went to Jiangnan alone.

Cai Fu helped Cai Ya and Zhao Fujin into the carriage, and then slipped inside himself...

Luan Tingyu sat in the driver's seat at the front of the carriage, cracking the whip with a miserable expression:
"drive--"
