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

Chapter 646 Qu Yuan: Alas! It's done! I won! [1st update]

Yang Fan's unparalleled bravery is by no means weak; in the original novel, he fought against Yang Zaixing.

It didn't specify how many rounds, only that "the two battles were truly evenly matched, with each side facing a formidable opponent. Just as the fight was at a stalemate, Yan Chengfang, seeing that Yang Zaixing was unable to defeat Yang Fan, brandished his double hammers and shouted, 'Yan Chengfang has come to assist in the battle!'"

Yan Chengfang was the Golden Hammer among the "Four Fierce Generals and Eight Great Hammers" of Yue Fei's army.

He was originally a subordinate of Yang Yao, became sworn brothers with Yue Yun, and then joined Yue Fei's forces.

However, Yang Fan was unaware of this and thought Yan Chengfang had come to help him. Unexpectedly, Yan Chengfang smashed him to death with a hammer.

Incidentally, Yan Chengfang was the son of Yan Qi, the surrendered general and garrison commander of Xiermu Village. He was a year younger than Yue Yun and had not yet been born.

Yang Fan's skills were comparable to Yang Zaixing's. Upon seeing his older brother dead, he rushed forward and fought Lu Zhishen to the death.

Yang Fan was a cavalry general; if he had a horse, it wouldn't be easy for Lu Zhishen to kill him.

However, his mount was killed by the mad bulls when the fire bull formation charged.

So Yang Fan is currently without a horse. Without a horse, how can he possibly defeat Lu Zhishen, the king of infantry?

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding..."

Lu Zhishen and Yang Fan fought for forty or fifty rounds, and Yang Fan gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.

Seeing no hope of revenge, Yang Fan gritted his teeth, glared, feinted with his gun, and then turned and ran!

After being swept away by the fire oxen, many ownerless horses roamed the canyon.

Taking advantage of the momentum, Yang Fan leaped onto the back of an abandoned horse and fled towards the end of the canyon...

"stop--"

Lu Zhishen roared and took off chasing after him with his big feet!

The Luohan Camp was busy cleaning up the remnants of their army, and only a little over a hundred bald men followed.

Worried that something might happen to Lu Zhishen, Wu Song quickly led several hundred soldiers of the Double-Sword Battalion to help Lu Zhishen.

Lu Zhishen's big feet couldn't outrun a horse, and he wasn't familiar with the terrain, so he lost the chase.

When Wu Song caught up with Lu Zhishen, Lu Zhishen was studying a map at a three-way intersection.

"Never mind, Third Brother!"

Wu Song advised Lu Zhishen: "The bandit leader Yang Yao is dead. Even if a few remnants of the bandits escape, it won't affect the overall situation."

"Besides, there are 100,000 mountains here. If there is a problem with the geographical map, you won't be able to find Snake Coil Mountain by following it."

"Instead of fumbling around on the map here, we might as well go back and capture a prisoner to ask for directions."

"Yes!"

Lu Zhishen slapped his thigh, realizing he had gotten carried away in the fight, but fortunately Wu Song brought him back to his senses in time.

The two brothers rushed back, but the battle in the canyon had already ended.

Li Zhu stepped forward and reported to Lu Zhishen and Wu Song:

"Grand Commander, there are over eight thousand surrendered soldiers in total, and countless deserters..."

"Let the surrendered soldiers lead the way, let's go to Snake Coil Mountain!"

Lu Zhishen still had Yang Fan on his mind.

Yang Fan is young but has extraordinary martial arts skills. Lu Zhishen was worried about him getting away like this.

……

dungeon.

By now, the Grand Commander's troops should have already stormed in...

Qu Yuan thought to himself with a smug satisfaction:

Left Guard General Guan Shiyan and Right Guard General Shen Tiejian together had three to four thousand henchmen!
With the help of Guan Shiyan and Shen Tiejian, Lu Zhishen can easily take down Shepan Mountain!
That tyrannical emperor Yang Yao is most likely to be caught. Once Yang Yao is captured, the rebel army will fall apart!
Having made such a tremendous contribution along with Guan Shiyan and Shen Tiejian, the King of Qi would surely give the three of them an important position.

According to Qu Yuan, there was a significant shortage of civil officials in the State of Qi, and if he applied there, he could at least become a prefect.

The King of Qi was a legitimate vassal king appointed by the emperor, which meant that I would be officially employed from now on!

Wouldn't that be better than hanging out with Yang Yao?

Qu Yuan's thoughts grew increasingly optimistic, but to his surprise, he was met by a group of burly, bald men who looked like wolves and tigers, who dragged him away menacingly. "Who are you people?"

Qu Yuan asked, both surprised and frightened, "What are you going to do?"

The bald man didn't answer, but instead escorted him to the Golden Palace. Along the way, corpses littered the ground, and blood flowed like rivers...

"Has the Grand Commander broken in?"

Qu Yuan suddenly regained his confidence: "Let me go!"
"Without me, the Grand Commander wouldn't be able to break in!"
"I have performed an extraordinary service, and the Grand Commander will reward me!"

The bald man ignored him completely until they entered the Golden Hall, where he threw Qu Yuan to the ground.

"Grand Commander, the prisoner has been brought in!"

Qu Yuan knelt on the ground and looked up to see Lu Zhishen, Feng Tai, and Li Zhu all there.

Yang Yao's father, Yang Xiao, lay in a pool of blood, while Prime Minister Wu Tianmei knelt on the ground, desperately begging for mercy...

"The Grand Commander is innocent!"

Qu Yuan immediately cried out his innocence to Lu Zhishen:
"I was determined to join the King of Qi and persuaded Generals Guan Shiyan and Shen Tiejian to work with the Grand Commander to break through Snake Coil Mountain!"

"If you don't know where Generals Guan Shiyan and Shen Tiejian are, the Grand Commander only needs to summon them and ask them!"

Li Zhu asked with a forced smile, "Are you the mastermind?"

Qu Yuan hesitated for a moment, thinking that Lu Zhishen was able to break in because Guan Shiyan and Shen Tiejian had done the work.

Otherwise, given the complex terrain of the Ten Thousand Mountains, it would have been extremely difficult for Lu Zhishen to find Snake Coil Mountain.

Therefore, Qu Yuan readily admitted: "Yes, I am the mastermind!"

Lu Zhishen made a gesture with a gloomy expression, and Wu Song's second disciple, Di Lei, threw two heads in front of Qu Yuan.

Upon closer inspection, Qu Yuan realized that it was Guan Shiyan and Shen Tiejian!
"hiss--"

Qu Yuan couldn't help but gasp at the stench of death:
"Great, Great, Great Commander, they colluded with you from within and without to help you take Snake Coil Mountain. They genuinely wanted to surrender to King Qi. Why did you kill them?"

"What a load of crap!"

Lu Zhishen snorted coldly and told Qu Yuan about what Guan Shiyan and Shen Tiejian had done.

Qu Yuan could hardly believe his ears; after hearing it, he was completely dumbfounded.
"No! It's all fake! It's all fake!"

"Actually, there was no collusion from within or without. There was no Guan Shiyan, no Shen Tiejian, no Yang Yao, no Lu Zhishen..."

"Hahaha, it's all fake! Fake! Don't touch me, I'm a scholar!"
"Let me go! I still need to go to the capital for the imperial examination! I'm not crazy, hahaha, I'm not crazy..."

Several bald men from the Arhat Camp pinned Qu Yuan to the ground. Li Zhu stepped forward, touched his skull, and shook his head at Lu Zhishen with a strange expression.

"Perhaps he has lost his mind..."

Could it be that what Qu Yuan said was true?

Lu Zhishen and Wu Song exchanged a glance, both feeling that perhaps Qu Yuan had truly been wronged.

However, Guan Shiyan and Shen Tiejian were already dead, and no one could prove Qu Yuan's innocence.

Qu Yuan has gone mad again; whether he was wronged or not seems to matter.

"That's all."

Lu Zhishen waved his hand, and the several bald men released Qu Yuan.

Qu Yuan got up, clapped his hands, and laughed loudly:

"Ah! Okay! I won!"

Laughing and shouting, he ran towards the door without saying a word.

Lu Zhishen and Wu Song thought he was faking it, but when they chased after him, they found Qu Yuan lying face down in a pool of blood.

He struggled to his feet, his hair disheveled, his hands stained with blood, and his body covered in blood.

Qu Yuan clapped his hands, laughed and shouted, and sang and danced as he descended the mountain...

Lu Zhishen and Wu Song exchanged a glance: It seems that Qu Yuan has really gone mad!
