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

Chapter 746 Cai Fu: My brother-in-law's acting is over the top! [1st update]

"Shh-"

Everyone looked toward the city gate, where hundreds of riders were rushing toward it!
The first to charge was Qiu Yue, who had already been promoted to Commander of the Palace Guards, and the second was none other than Emperor Gaozong of Song!

Although Emperor Gaozong of Song acted like a grandson in front of the Jin Dynasty, he could actually be considered both a scholar and a warrior.

Not to mention the arts of playing the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, which are all family-inherited skills, he can also draw a bow and draw a stone and five dou.

Riding a horse was naturally no problem for him either; otherwise, there wouldn't be the story of "King Kang crossing the river on a mud horse."

At this moment, Emperor Gaozong of Song, disheveled and like a madman, rushed over!
If it weren't for his conspicuous imperial robes, everyone would probably mistake him for a madman...

Damn it?

Cai Fu was a little surprised and almost accidentally broke the orange peel.

Fortunately, his hand was steady, and he smoothly transitioned with the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, continuing to peel the orange.

The official road had long been cleared for Emperor Gaozong of Song, allowing him to reach Cai Fu without any hindrance.

"Brother-in-law!"

Emperor Gaozong of Song arrived on horseback, and before the horse had even come to a complete stop, he tumbled off the saddle!

Only then did the onlookers realize that Emperor Gaozong of Song was dressed very carelessly, with one collar tucked in!
That's not all; Emperor Gaozong of Song was also wearing slippers, which caused one of his boots to fly off when he rolled off his horse!
He rushed to Cai Fu's side, grabbed Cai Fu's hands, and hurriedly looked him up and down:
"Brother-in-law, are you alright anywhere?"

When Cai Fu saw that Emperor Gaozong of Song had tears in his eyes, his lips were trembling, and his hand was shaking as if he had Parkinson's disease...

pass!

The brother-in-law's acting is over the top!
Although Emperor Gaozong was acting out a dramatic scene at this moment, Cai Fu could tell that it was not actually Emperor Gaozong who had instructed him.

After all, no one knew that Cai Fu would help everyone up one by one; the assassination attempt was clearly a spur-of-the-moment decision.

But how could Cai Fu let Emperor Gaozong of Song off so easily?

Cai Fu's face darkened, and he snorted coldly:
"Brother-in-law, I was assassinated as soon as I arrived in Jiangzhou!"
"Tell me, who is the mastermind behind this?"

It seems only I can be the emperor...

Looking at the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in Cai Fu's hand, Emperor Gaozong of Song gritted his teeth in fury:

"Which beast dares to assassinate my brother-in-law?"

"If anything were to happen to my brother-in-law, how could I face my fifth sister?"

Looking around fiercely, Emperor Gaozong of Song pointed to the heavens and swore:

"If I find out who is the mastermind behind the assassination of my brother-in-law, I will definitely exterminate his entire family!"
No, exterminate their entire family!
“Build another pagoda to suppress him in the Xunyang River, so that he will never be able to rise again!”

"We also want to ensure he has no descendants!"

Goodness, are you really that ruthless to yourself?

Everyone fell silent, but seeing Emperor Gaozong's attitude, some couldn't help but believe him:
After all, who would curse themselves to never rise again and to be childless?

Especially the oaths made by the emperor are different from those made by ordinary people; they are bound to be law!

Sure, Ninth Sister!

Cai Fu couldn't help but look at Emperor Gaozong of Song with new respect. Although he was a bit immature, Emperor Gaozong was only fifteen years old after all.

Historically, Emperor Gaozong of Song ascended the throne at the age of twenty, so it's quite remarkable that he could achieve this much five years earlier.

After making the oath, Emperor Gaozong of Song bowed deeply to Cai Funa.
"Brother-in-law, please give me a month!"

"Within a month, I will definitely give my brother-in-law a satisfactory explanation!"

Let's delay for a month first. If we still can't find out in a month, we can just cede a few more states to appease my brother-in-law!
If my brother-in-law can live to see another month...

Emperor Gaozong's attitude was appropriate; if Cai Furuo were to be aggressive, it would appear as if an adult were bullying a child.

"Alright, then I'll leave this matter to you."

Cai Fu casually returned the Green Dragon Crescent Blade to Guan Sheng and helped Emperor Gaozong of Song up with both hands.

Then, with a gentle pull, the peel of the Suichuan kumquat in his hand fell down in circles, just like a latte art.

Emperor Gaozong of Song was dumbfounded: "Ah, this orange was peeled with a Green Dragon Crescent Blade?"
Cai Fu stuffed the oranges into Emperor Gaozong's hand, but Emperor Gaozong instinctively declined, saying, "Thank you, brother-in-law, you should eat the oranges you peeled!"

Cai Fu laughed and casually made a joke:

"I'll only eat two, the rest are yours."

My brother-in-law's words were loaded with meaning!

Emperor Gaozong of Song then launched a brainstorming session:
Could it be that my brother-in-law means that the matter of his assassination can be put behind us as long as we cede two states to him?

The remaining prefectures still belong to me. This condition is too... too lenient, isn't it?

Seeing that Cai Fu and Emperor Gaozong of Song seemed to have made up, the onlookers finally remembered what they should do.

“Hualalala…”

The soldiers and generals gathered here hurriedly knelt down, shouting:

"Your Majesty, we, your humble servants, pay our respects!"

snort!
Emperor Gaozong of Song was very angry:

What? If your brother-in-law were to chop me up with one stroke, you'd be free of trouble, right?

However, before truly gaining control of the empire, Emperor Gaozong of Song magnanimously waved his hand:
"Rise!"

Compared to when Cai Fu personally helped them up one by one, the soldiers from all over felt as if they had experienced both extremes of life:

How can there be such a huge difference in character between a brother-in-law and a brother-in-law?
"Brother-in-law, let's go into the city!"

Emperor Gaozong of Song held an orange in one hand and affectionately linked arms with Cai Fu with the other.

"Shh-"

All eyes turned to Cai Fu again.

Would the King of Qi really dare to enter the city?

Many people are secretly speculating that Emperor Qinzong's death was inextricably linked to Emperor Gaozong.

It's just that no one dares to say it out loud.

If the Prince of Qi were killed, Emperor Gaozong of Song would truly be able to unify the country!

It may even be the largest territory since the founding of the Song Dynasty!

Putting themselves in Cai Fu's shoes, if they were in Cai Fu's situation, they certainly wouldn't dare to enter the city with only a dozen or so people.

But they were also looking forward to Cai Fu entering the city, because Cai Fu was seen as fearless by everyone!
If the King of Qi is afraid of trouble, is he still the King of Qi?
Cai Fu did not disappoint anyone; he entered the city hand in hand with Emperor Gaozong of Song in a very open and generous manner.

As Cai Fu walked past the shopkeeper with the pointed head, he glanced at him, seemingly casually.

The shopkeeper understood immediately. After Cai Fu passed by, he threw down his abacus and darted into the crowd...

As Cai Fu reached the city gate, unnoticed, a large black rat walked past him.

The big black rat nodded to Cai Fu, who smiled confidently.

It seems that his brother-in-law is not in a hurry to kill him. Although the city is heavily guarded, there is no ambush.

If there were no ambush, their group of "unmatched brave men" would be more than enough in case of any unexpected situation.

While an army's siege is indeed formidable in the open areas outside the city, in the street fighting within the city, the "unmatched bravery" is far more powerful.

After Cai Fu and Emperor Gaozong entered the city, they went directly to the mourning hall of Emperor Qinzong.

At the entrance of the mourning hall, Cai Fu helped Zhao Fujin out of the carriage.

When Zhao Fujin arrived at Emperor Qinzong's coffin, he couldn't help but burst into tears, and Emperor Gaozong also shed tears with him.

Cai Fu stayed in the mourning hall for half a day. At sunset, a palace attendant suddenly came to report:

"Your Majesty, Lord Zhong has arrived!"
