Chapter 188: Conquering Luan Tingyu with Words

"Brother is the Little Mengde of Shandong and the King of Hell of Yuncheng?! Luan Tingyu is being rude."

Seeing Luan Tingyu's great courtesy, Cao Jie grasped the pair of rough, hard hands and said with a smile: "Teacher Luan is too polite. I am just a little bit of a name. Today I come with my brother Wu Song to pay a visit to the teacher. I have heard of the teacher's great name for a long time, but I have never had the chance to meet him. Today I meet him. He is indeed a hero!"

"No, no! I just have a little bit of strength."

After some pleasantries, Luan Tingyu asked, "Who is this female knight?"

"She!"

Chen Liqing held her head high, chest puffed out, and slightly raised her chin, waiting for Cao Jie to introduce her.

"Ignore her!"

"you……"

Chen Liqing snorted, shook her teeth, turned around and walked out of the room, looking at the clouds in the sky and sulking.

But she didn't know that a wanted thief naturally couldn't reveal his name.

This is for her own good.

"Brothers, please take a seat. I don't have much to offer you here. Fortunately, I still have a jar of Lihuabai from outside the pass. I will use wine instead of tea."

After the three of them drank three bowls of wine, they became familiar with each other.

"Excuse me, why are you two brothers looking for Luan Tingyu? How did you get in touch with my younger brother Tingfang?"

Cao Jie smiled and said, "I won't hide it from you, brother. The woman outside is surnamed Chen. I was lucky enough to know about their relationship. I was worried that you wouldn't be able to see outsiders in Zhujiazhuang, so I thought of this."

"I see. Is my brother safe and sound in the mountains?"

"I have never been to the Ape Arm Village, and have never met your brother. But..."

Cao Jie turned around with a serious expression, which immediately aroused Luan Tingyu's curiosity. He asked, "I hope my brother can tell me something."

"I just came back from Yizhou a few days ago. The one who has been ordered by the court to suppress Yuanbi Village is Zong Ze, the Tongpan of Dengzhou."

"Oh!"

Luan Tingyu remained silent, apparently not knowing what Zong Ze was capable of.

"I won't say much about Zong Ze. You may not know this yet! Zong Ze was in Dengzhou, but he got a trusted lieutenant to go to Yizhou to suppress the bandits. This man's surname is Sun Li, and he is known as Bing Yuchi in the underworld. He uses a long spear and a bamboo steel whip, rides a black horse, and has the fighting power of Yuchi Gong."

"ah!"

Luan Tingyu was horrified and said with a bitter face: "My brother is done for!"

"I see that you have the ability to refine your essence and nourish your qi, and I think you are not bad either. Why are you so anxious when you heard about the sick Yuchi Sun Li?" Wu Song asked.

Luan Tingyu frowned and sighed, "To be honest, brother, that sick Yuchi Sun Li is my senior brother, and we had the same master teach us martial arts. I learned spears, sticks and flying hammers, and he learned spears, sticks and steel whips. His martial arts are not inferior to mine. My brother Tingfang, who uses two swords, is no match for Sun Li!"

"Ah! There is such a relationship."

Cao Jie said, "Why don't you write a letter to your senior brother, asking him to show some mercy to you if he sees you?"

"Alas! You don't know my brother's temper. How could he hold back? Moreover, he is well-versed in military books. If we meet on the battlefield, he will definitely not show mercy. That's why I said my brother should give up!"

Luan Tingyu paced back and forth anxiously, muttering, "No, I must write a letter to Tingfang, telling him to be careful and hide from Sun Li if he meets him!"

"That's easy. Just write a letter home and I'll give it to the woman outside and ask her to pass it back to Yizhou."

"Thank you very much, brother."

"No need to thank me. I just have something from the bottom of my heart to say to my brother."

"I'm all ears."

"Just now I said that Sun Li is nothing, it is Zong Ze who is the Confucian general. In my opinion, Yuanbi Village will definitely be wiped out by him."

"Really?" "If nothing unexpected happens, Yizhou will definitely be here within half a year."

"hiss!"

Luan Tingyu smiled bitterly. This time he was no longer anxious. Instead, he sat down and said, "I don't know who bewitched my brother. He went up the mountain to become a bandit. Today he encountered this disaster. There is nothing I can do. There is nothing I can do!"

"Brother, everything depends on human efforts," Wu Song advised.

"In my opinion, Teacher Luan should make plans early. Among the people who rebelled in Yuanbi Village, there is also a person named Zhu..."

Luan Tingyu blurted out, "Who?"

"Zhu Yongqing!"

"It turned out to be him!" Luan Tingyu's expression was stiff, but his hands were clenched into fists.

Zhu Yongqing is the younger brother of the owner of Zhujiazhuang. If his becoming a bandit is exposed, he will inevitably be held accountable by the court.

By then, given the temperaments of the three members of the Zhu family, a disaster would surely occur.

As a teacher, he would definitely be deeply involved in it.

For a moment, Luan Tingyu wanted to leave.

Cao Jie saw that the time had come, so he said, "I came to see Teacher Luan today, not for anything else, but because I have a great place to give to you, my brother."

No matter whether it was Yangshui or Xinshui, Luan Tingyu vowed to never surrender. The original book also said that he died in the chaos of war.

It can be seen that this person hates evil and it is not easy to make money.

If we stay in Zhujiazhuang, we will inevitably become enemies.

Leave it to Wu Song for now, and slowly subdue him.

"I don't know where to go?"

Cao Jie pointed at Wu Song and said, "Teacher Luan knows that my brother Wu Song is a general in Dongping Prefecture. He has been appointed by the court and is in charge of two to three thousand troops. He has many captains under him. Although he is a low-level military officer, he can be promoted quickly as long as he has military merits. Does Teacher Luan have any ideas?"

"Head of Xuanyi Army?"

It would be a lie to say that Luan Tingyu was not jealous.

Luan Tingyu didn't have the ability to get the title of the county's chief constable, so he could only make a living by selling his martial arts in Zhujiazhuang.

Wu Song nodded and said, "I know that a small captain has really buried such a great talent as yours. But I am only this capable. Alas! But then again, if you and I join forces, how difficult will it be to gain military merit? In two or three years, you can also become a deputy commander."

His senior brother Sun Li is now the chief officer of Dengzhou.

When people reach middle age, they feel a little inferior because they have achieved nothing.

He has not been in contact with his senior brother Sun Li in these years, naturally because he feels that his talent is not recognized.

A small village teacher, to put it nicely, is a master, to put it bluntly, is just a dog raised by Zhujiazhuang.

Luan Tingyu was very interested, but still did not express his opinion.

A resolute face, with no visible expression.

At this time, Cao Jie added fuel to the fire: "Brother is an official in Xuanyi Army. If there is any change in Yizhou, he can also protect you. It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others. A good iron must be strong itself!"

"Teacher Luan, Wu Song has seen many incompetent people in important positions in the Xuanyi Army. There are few who can fight and kill, and most of them are cowards. With your skills and abilities, if you can't show your talents, wouldn't it be a waste of the martial arts you have practiced for half a lifetime?"

Wu Song shook his head and sighed, "I feel so sorry for my brothers!"

Luan Tingyu took a deep breath, stood up and bowed: "Brother Wu Song, I will hand over all my skills to you!"
