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

Chapter 7 Lu Junyi: What hatred and grudge?
"elder brother……"

Lu Junyi was extremely grateful and said sincerely:

"I have no way to repay you for saving my life! I can only..."

"hiss--"

Cai Fu couldn't help but gasp:
Such familiar lines!

Although...you are a man!
"If you don't abandon me, I'm willing to become sworn brothers with you!

"I regard my brother as my brother, and I will always be with him in life and death!"

After saying that, Lu Junyi knocked his head to the ground, and his forehead was bleeding, which shows how determined he was.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Cai Fu breathed a sigh of relief and was overjoyed. Being able to become sworn brothers with Lu Junyi was like having a trump card at the start of the game.

We must remember that this world is not the 21st century, and the relationship between sworn brothers may be more solid than that between blood brothers.

There was no ceremony like beheading a chicken or burning yellow paper; the two of them became sworn brothers in this dark prison...

……

Daming Prefecture, at the city gate.

Cai Fu walked out with two young jailers in a swagger, and even greeted the city gate guards he knew:
"Old Wang, let's have a drink together at Lichunyuan tonight!"

Lao Wang was a drunkard, and although he and Cai Fu were just acquaintances, he immediately agreed when he heard about the wine.
"The level is settled!"

When Cai Fu led the two jailers out of the city gate, a gate guard nearby asked Lao Wang in surprise:

"Is the prison sentence this high now?"

Cai Qing is seven feet and eight inches tall, and Cai Fu is eight feet and three inches tall!
Lu Junyi is even taller, a full nine feet tall!

"yes……"

Old Wang glanced at the backs of Cai Fu and the two jailers and couldn't help but smack his lips:
"How much can you drink..."

Cai Fu, Cai Qing and Lu Junyi walked out of the city gate and headed east. After walking ten miles, they saw a small pavilion.

Lu Junyi's Qilin beast was tied to the pillar of the pavilion, and Yan Qing stood in front of the steps of the pavilion looking up.

Upon seeing Lu Junyi, Yan Qing flew out of the pavilion like a swallow and bowed to Lu Junyi:
"Congratulations to the master for turning misfortune into good fortune!"

"What does it mean to turn misfortune into good fortune and turn disaster into blessing?"

Lu Junyi limped and introduced Cai Fu to Yan Qing:

"I was able to come out alive only because of my big brother's rescue!

"Xiao Yi, remember this Cai Fu, known as 'Sai Xuande' in Jianghu, is my Lu Junyi's elder brother!
"Without my big brother, there would be no me!"

Yan Qing immediately knelt at Cai Fu's feet and said with great gratitude:

"Thank you, brother, for saving my master!

"From today on, Xiaoyi's life belongs to my brother!"

Cai Fu helped Yan Qing up with both hands, and everything was said without words.

"Brothers, it's not advisable to stay here for long."

Cai Fu asked Cai Qing and Yan Qing to help Lu Junyi onto the horse:

"Let's go further first and then reason."

So Lu Junyi lay on the horse's back, and Cai Fu and the other two walked, choosing to walk in places where no one lived.

As they walked and talked, Cai Fu, Yan Qing and Lu Junyi pieced all the information together.

The truth came to light.

Lu Junyi's face turned green:
"So Song Jiang first sent Wu Yong to Daming Mansion to trick me into going to Liangshanpo...

"After trapping me in Liangshanpo, he instigated Li Gu to falsely accuse me of being a traitor in Daming Prefecture...

"Once I'm in jail, he'll send Chai in to bribe Big Brother to save my life...

"No, what does he want to do?
"Does he want to hurt me or save me?"

Cai Fu patiently advised: "Brother, think about it later.

"If he saved you, where else would you go?"

"Ah this..."

Lu Junyi is not a smart man, but he is not a fool either. After hearing what Cai Fu said, he figured it out:
"I can only follow him to Liangshan..."

"Yes!" Cai Fu said as he swept the grass in front of him with a machete.

“You were originally a wealthy man in Daming Prefecture.

"If it weren't for their plan, even if it was my brother-in-law...

"Well, you can also live a life of ease and comfort.

"It was because of their scheme that you went from being a wealthy man to a traitor, and now a prisoner waiting to die!
"If they rescue you again, you'll just become a rebel and then you'll have to thank them!

"Do they want to harm you, or do they want to save you?"

"brute!"

Lu Junyi was so angry that his kidneys almost exploded:

"What hatred or grudge do I have against him? Why would he want to harm me like this?"

"Then only he knows..."

As the sun sets, Cai Fu looks back at Lu Junyi with a burning gaze:
"One day, if Song Jiang falls into our hands, you put a knife to his neck and ask him why."

Ah this...

Lu Junyi's scalp was numb:

Song Jiang is the King of Liangshan, commanding tens of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of brave generals...

Put the knife on Song Jiang's neck?
Even though Lu Junyi was incredibly brave, he couldn't even think about it...

That's just his nature.

No matter how great his abilities or reputation are, he is not the one who can take on the most important responsibility.

But if someone takes the lead and tells him what to do, he will become an invincible warrior!

So at first Lu Junyi's scalp was numb, but when he met Cai Fu's pair of shining tiger eyes, Lu Junyi's heart suddenly became heroic, and he slapped his head:
"Brother is right!

"One day, I will put a knife to his neck and ask him why he hurt me like this!"

The Qilin Beast's eyes went dark, and it nearly stumbled...

Cai Fu and Lu Junyi looked at each other and burst into laughter at the same time.

Yan Qing also started laughing.

Are you crazy?
Cai Qing couldn't laugh.

He and Cai Fu are brothers, and he does whatever Cai Fu asks him to do.

Due to time constraints, Cai Fu did not give him a detailed explanation, and he acted based on his trust in Cai Fu.

But seeing that Cai Fu's path was getting narrower and narrower, Cai Qing felt that he should have a good talk with Cai Fu.

If we keep going like this, we’ll end up with no way out!

Before sunset, Cai Fu and his companions finally found several thatched houses in the mountains and forests, which seemed to be inhabited.

Cai Fu and his four companions walked forward, Yan Qing knocked on the door, and a young monk opened the wooden door and asked who it was.

Yan Qing said with a smile:
"Master, we are the public servants who are escorting the prisoners back.

"In my haste to get on, I missed my place to stay.

"Could you please, Master, be kind enough to let us stay here for one night?"

The young monk looked at Cai Fu and the others, scratched his bald head and said:

"Please wait here, benefactor. I will go and ask the master."

He went in and came back soon:

"Master said that monks should be compassionate. Please come in and rest."

Yan Qing thanked the young monk, then came in with Cai Fu and Cai Qing, leading the Qilin beast carrying Lu Junyi.

The young monk took them into the guest hall, where he saw an old monk sitting on a cushion.

The old monk has kind eyes, white hair and beard, and is counting Buddhist beads in his hand. He looks like a highly accomplished monk.

The old monk heard footsteps coming in and raised his eyelids:
"Amitabha, donors...

"what?"

When the old monk saw Lu Junyi's face painted black, he was stunned for a moment and blurted out:

"Lu Junyi?"
