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

Chapter 636 Bao Daoyi's Little Black Fatty Pendant [2 Updates]

General Kong, it's all my fault...

When Hu Sanniang rode past him on a tall horse, carrying Kongming's head, the old soldier who had advised Kongming felt deeply ashamed.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Kongming's large, unclosed eyes on his head were staring intently at him, as if questioning him:

Has there been an explanation now?

"Ahhh-"

The old soldier had a mental breakdown and turned to run, causing many others to follow, resulting in them being hunted down.

When the old soldier died under Hu Sanniang's blade, he felt a sense of relief, finally able to give Kongming an explanation...

This was just a minor incident. Under the pursuit of the Qi army, Kongming's troops quickly surrendered.

Some of them were originally low-ranking members of Liangshan Marsh, and they all knew about Cai Fu's relationship with Liangshan Marsh, so they surrendered without any pressure.

Cai Fu did not linger, leaving "Golden Wings of the Clouds" Ou Peng as the general of Changzhou, and leading a large army south to attack Suzhou.

The defender of Suzhou was Kong Liang, nicknamed "Lone Star".

Kong Liang was even less skilled than Kong Ming, and he too was killed by Hu Sanniang with a single blow.

Cai Fu left Ma Lin, the "Iron Flute Immortal," as the general of Suzhou, and then led a large army south to attack Xiuzhou.

Duan Kai, the garrison commander of Xiuzhou, once again changed his tune depending on the wind. As soon as Cai Fu's army arrived, Duan Kai immediately opened the gates and surrendered.

However, this time Cai Fu did not let him stay in Xiuzhou. This kind of opportunist can't hold on to anything.

Cai Fu left behind Yang Lin, nicknamed "The Leopard of Brocade," as the general of Xiuzhou, and together they led a large army south to attack Hangzhou.

The general defending Hangzhou was Zhang Heng, nicknamed "Boat Fire Boy".

Zhang Heng was not skilled in martial arts, but he was quick to seize opportunities. When the city fell, he jumped into West Lake and escaped.

Cai Fu left behind Deng Fei, nicknamed "Fiery-Eyed Lion," as the General of Hangzhou, who then led a large army south to attack Muzhou.

The general guarding Muzhou was Yue Zhen, known as the "General in Brocade Robe".

When Yue Zhen saw Cai Fu arrive, he pretended to exchange a few blows with Hu Sanniang before fleeing.

He didn't even return to Liancheng; he went straight to Qingxi.

Cai Fu left behind Wei Dingguo, the "Divine Fire General," as the commander-in-chief of Muzhou, and once again led a large army westward to attack Qingxi.

The general guarding Qingxi was Chai Jin, nicknamed "Little Whirlwind".

Upon seeing Cai Fu arrive, Chai Jin abandoned the city and fled without saying a word.

Cai Fu didn't even get to meet Chai Jin before easily taking back the capital of the Southern Kingdom.

Song Jiang conquered these five prefectures very quickly, but Cai Fu was even faster, practically conquering them in a flash.

We learned from the surrendered soldiers that Song Jiang had already led a large army to attack Shezhou.

Cai Fu then left "Little Yuchi" Sun Xin to guard the palace, while Liu led the main army westward to rescue Shezhou...

……

Yuling Pass.

"Aba Aba..."

Pang Wanchun was learning sign language from a senior deaf-mute person when Pang Qiuxia ran over and started gesturing with her hands.
"Brother, something terrible has happened! His Majesty has been defeated and retreated to Yuling Pass!"

"Aba Aba?"

Pang Wanchun gestured incredulously at Pang Qiuxia.

Pang Qiuxia learned sign language along with him, so she could understand the meaning of his gestures:
"The imperial court has sent a large army to besiege us, and the general in charge is said to be 'Timely Rain' Song Jiang!"
"Hey—big brother, wait for me—"

Pang Wanchun rushed out anxiously and, as soon as he reached the gate, he saw Fang Jinzhi.

Fang Jie, known as the "Fierce Tiger of Jiangnan," and Deng Yuanjue, known as the "Precious Light Tathagata," escorted Fang Jinzhi up the mountain.

Pang Wanchun hurriedly went to greet Fang Jinzhi, and then gestured wildly at Fang Jie. Although he couldn't understand what Fang Jie was gesturing, he guessed what it meant. Fang Jie muttered something under his breath:
"Bao Daoyi, that traitor, had already sold himself to the imperial court long ago!"

"He helped Song Jiang capture Qingxi, and then led Song Jiang to attack Shezhou!"
"You know his sorcery; we mere mortals are utterly powerless against it..."

In terms of martial arts, Fang Jie is no less skilled than Qin Ming; in fact, in the original novel, Qin Ming died at the hands of Fang Jie's halberd.

This time, the two fought for more than fifty rounds without a clear winner. However, Bao Daoyi, this sorcerer, used magic to terrify the Southern army, causing them to abandon their armor and flee in panic.

Fang Jie had no choice but to protect Fang Jinzhi as they fled towards Yuling Pass.

After listening, Pang Wanchun gestured again, and Pang Qiuxia caught up, panting, to help Pang Wanchun translate:

"My brother said that with his little Yang Youji here, if one comes, he'll shoot it! If two come, he'll shoot them both!"

After finishing the translation, Pang Qiuxia patted her chest muscles:
"And me, Little Taishi Ci!"

Fang Jinzhi was overjoyed: "I have already sent someone to inform the Duke of Zhenguo. He will definitely come to our rescue!"

The Duke of Zhenguo in the South was Cai Fu. Hearing her say this, Pang Wanchun and Pang Qiuxia secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they were confident in their archery skills, they felt much more at ease knowing that Cai Fu would be coming.

Fang Jinzhi temporarily settled in Yuling Pass, but Song Jiang's army arrived again in just two days...

Song Jiang led 15,000 men to Yuling Pass. Bao Daoyi introduced Yuling Pass to Song Jiang:

"The general guarding Yuling Pass was Pang Wanchun, nicknamed 'Little Yang Youji,' who was the first person in Jiangnan to be able to shoot arrows."

"Pang Wanchun had two deputy generals, one named Lei Jiong and the other named Ji Ji."

"Both of these lieutenants wield crossbows weighing seven or eight hundred catties, and each is skilled with a mace."

"Small azoosperm?"

When Song Jiang heard that the man was skilled in archery, he was deeply moved, recalling that he once had a subordinate who was also an archer...

Qin Ming and Hua Rong thought of each other simultaneously: "I wonder who shoots more accurately, my uncle or this little Yang Youji..."

"The general manager only needs to challenge us."

Bao Daoyi said confidently, "Don't worry about Pang Wanchun, I will take action."

"Thank you for your trouble, Celestial Master!"

Song Jiang felt a little bitter. Whether it was the attack on Qingxi or the attack on Shezhou, it was Bao Daoyi who made great contributions.

Moreover, it seems that Bao Daoyi intends to handle all the battles from now on. What will that make him?

Is it Bao Daoyi's little black chubby pendant?
But Song Jiang had no choice; after all, Qin Ming was the only capable general he had under his command.

That being said, Qin Ming was always at the forefront before, so why isn't he being proactive today?

Song Jiang subconsciously looked at Qin Ming, only to see that Qin Ming seemed to be itchy all over, scratching incessantly through his armor.

What's the difference between this and scratching an itch through a boot?
Seeing that Qin Ming had no intention of taking the lead, Guo Sheng, nicknamed "Sai Rengui," spurred his horse forward and challenged Pang Wanchun to a duel.

"Guo Sheng, the 'Sai Rengui,' is here! I've heard there's someone called 'Little Backscratcher,' come and fight me!"

"Aba Aba!"

Pang Wanchun was naturally furious, but since he was mute, he couldn't utter any threats, so he simply shot an arrow directly at the target:
"Whoosh-"

Guo Sheng had already heard from Bao Daoyi that Pang Wanchun was skilled in archery, so he was naturally on guard.

Seeing Pang Wanchun shoot an arrow, Guo Sheng didn't hesitate and swung his halberd fiercely towards the cold light!
"Pfft!"

The arrow just missed the halberd and struck Guo Sheng in the throat!
Guo Sheng could hardly believe his own feelings. He subconsciously reached up and touched his throat before he could believe that he had really been shot with an arrow...

Seeing Guo Sheng die under Pang Wanchun's arrow, Song Jiang burst into tears and bowed deeply to Bao Daoyi.
"Guo Sheng and Song Jiang met when they were both lowly and had been companions for many years, their bond as strong as that of brothers. Unexpectedly, they met their demise here..."

"I beg the Celestial Master to help me take revenge!"
