Chapter 21 Wang Lun: Brother, you should have told me earlier that you are the enemy of the King of Hell.
He sat upright on the chair without moving, and spoke in a condescending manner, with arrogance and looking down on everyone.

Wang Lun's behavior really angered everyone.

Especially the three Ruan brothers, who hated evil and were unruly. If someone respected them a foot, they would respect them a yard. If someone bullied them an inch, they would punch them and beat them until they were left with a tear.

Ruan Xiaoqi said with a sarcastic "Hehe" and said with a fake smile:

"We brothers went to the mountains to become bandits because we respect you, Liangshan. Are you looking down on us? I heard that Liangshan was funded by Mr. Chai."

"Mr. Chai is generous and likes to make friends with heroes from all over the world. He is known as the Mengchang Lord of the modern era and nicknamed the Little Whirlwind."

"Looking at the behavior of Village Master Wang today, it seems that his reputation is not worthy of him!"

Given Wang Lun's personality, it would not be easy for Lu Fang and Jiao Ting to go up the mountain.

Now the two forces on the mountain are relatively balanced and under Wang Lun's control.

In fact, ever since Cao Jie intervened and recommended Song Wan to go up the mountain early, it was impossible for them to be of one mind as in the original book.

If Wang Lun wants to keep his position as the top leader, it will be impossible for him to further expand the power of Song Wan, the second leader.

Men of letters like to play tricks and seek balance.

How could they know that Jianghu people only care about loyalty. Song Jiang is not good at fighting, but he can still be the boss. What is his basis?
It’s the word “righteousness”!
Therefore, we must think of a way. Even if we cannot get up the mountain in the end, we must ruin Wang Lun's reputation.

This is exactly why Cao Jie went up the mountain in person.

Cao Jie sighed and interrupted Ruan Xiaoqi, saying, "Master Wang, please don't blame me for my brother's hot temper. Brother Qi, we need help from others, how can we say such things? Besides, Master Chai is Master Chai, and Master Wang is Master Wang, how can we confuse them?"

"Erlang, he did it, so why can't we say anything?" Ruan Xiaowu had a bad temper and joked, "Look at him, if you don't know him, you would think it's the emperor sitting there!"

The corners of Wang Lun's mouth twitched suddenly, his face turned pale, and he couldn't stand or sit.

Just as he was about to speak, Cao Jie said, "If Village Chief Wang doesn't like my brothers Lu Fang and Jiao Ting, then we should go somewhere else. Brother Lu Fang, you are very good at using the Fang Tian Hua Ji, and brother Jiao Ting, you are a great sumo wrestler. It would be a good idea for you to go to the residence of Mr. Chai..."

The most important thing for people in Jianghu is reputation. Wang Lun also knows the importance of reputation, so he would never let him ruin his reputation. He thought to himself:

"If we let them go to Cangzhou today, and they really catch the eye of Mr. Chai, then I, Wang Lun, will be in a passive position. Alas, I have to think of a way."

Wang Lun gave Du Qian a wink.

The third leader nicknamed "Touching the Sky" is the best in Liangshan in terms of combat power, ranking first together with Song Wan.

He is also a leader in the residence of Mr. Chai.

After all, his figure is there, touching the sky, as tall as King Kong in the clouds.

Because he had never met a truly strong man, he overestimated his own strength and stood up and said, "You two heroes came to my Liangshan not to be minions, but not everyone in my Liangshan can be a leader. I think I have some martial arts skills, why don't we compete in the training ground."

"Very good!"

If it weren't for his brother Cao Jie, young Marquis Wen Lu Fang would have never been able to endure this humiliation and would have stabbed him thousands of times with the painted halberd in his hand.

But for the sake of Liangshan's foundation, he had to endure this anger.

He could only vent his anger on the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand.

"Are there any horses on the mountain?"

"There are a few inferior horses kept at the foot of the mountain." Song Wan said with a smile, "Follow me, my good man."

Wang Lun looked at Song Wan with a gloomy look, very dissatisfied.

Soon, the sound of horseshoes hitting bluestone was heard on the mountain road. Someone was riding a horse so fast on the narrow mountain road.

Then we saw the young Marquis Wen, wearing a bright red cloak and waving a Fang Tian Hua Ji, leaping out.

The Fang Tian Hua Ji is often used for decoration and rarely used in actual combat, but this does not mean that its power is weak.

On the contrary, its power is incredible, but it requires extremely high standards from the user.

The head of the painted halberd is sharp and pointed, so the user is required to be proficient in spearmanship. There are blades on both sides of the painted halberd, so the user is required to be proficient in axe and knife skills. The gap between the twigs and the trunk of the painted halberd can lock the enemy's weapons. The long pole of the painted halberd is also very lethal, which requires the user to be proficient in stick skills.

Among the unique military skills, there are three methods of using the painted halberd: the "support" method, which focuses on charging, shoveling, chopping back, stabbing horizontally, stabbing downwards, and slanting; there is the "Hu" method, which focuses on chopping horizontally and cutting; there is the "inside" method, which focuses on counter-attacking, horizontal hooking, wall nailing, and stabbing; there is the "escape" method, which focuses on hitting through, picking, and straight chopping.

Therefore, just by looking at it, one would find that the methods of using the painted halberd are truly dazzling, let alone mastering them one by one?
It is precisely because the Fang Tian Hua Ji is complex to use, has many functions, requires tremendous strength and skill, and combines the functions of both light and heavy weapons in one, that it is very demanding on the user.

Therefore, once you have mastered it, you can often gain a great advantage and become an unrivaled warrior. You can compete with heavy weapons, such as bone hoes, hammers, and borings in strength, and with light weapons, such as spears, guns, and knives in moves and skills. You can even defeat the enemy with cleverness and use force to overcome cleverness, and take a great initiative!

As soon as Lu Fang appeared, he put Du Qian under tremendous pressure.

One is a brave warrior, the other is at best a heavy infantryman.

Although heavy infantry is better than cavalry, it takes an organized heavy infantry unit equipped with long weapons to withstand the charge of light cavalry.

Du Qian held a sword in his hand. His arms were thick and long, and he really wanted to hold his sword horizontally while standing on his horse.

But... when facing a cavalry charge, few people would not be scared.

Lu Fang rushed back and forth on the training ground, but still saw no opponent coming on the field. He also felt that the inferior horse under his buttocks was seriously exhausted, so he reined in his horse and pointed the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand at Wang Lun:

"I am Lü Fang, the young Marquis of Wen! Who dares to fight me to the death?"

Among the 108 Liangshan heroes, when it comes to horse fighting, Lu Fang can be ranked among the best.

Du Qian, what is he?

"嘤嘤嘤!"

Du Qian ignored Wang Lun's gaze and looked up at the sky.

"Ahem, brother Lu Fang's horsemanship is truly extraordinary. We don't have a leader in Liangshan who is good at horse fighting. This battle..."

Before Wang Lun finished speaking, Cao Jie said with a smile: "Then Chief Wang should keep Lü Fang."

"I'm afraid that this will bury Brother Lu Fang. I think... it's better to..."

Before Wang Lun could finish his words, Jiao Ting, with his chest exposed and shaking, took a sumo wrestling stance and said in a muffled voice, "Brother Du Qian, I don't know how to fight on horseback, nor do I know how to use swords. Let's wrestle. If you can make me retreat a step, I lose."

Du Qian had just lost face, so he took a deep breath and decided that it would be best not to resort to violence. Jiao Ting's suggestion was exactly what he wanted.

But as soon as they fought, he realized that he was careless.

"boom!"

A body over two meters tall and weighing more than two hundred pounds fell to the ground, causing a cloud of dust to rise.

Wang Lun's mouth twitched again: "It's over, the fierce dragon has crossed the river, we can't keep them! We must send them down the mountain to avoid disaster."

Du Qian also wanted to save his reputation, so he endured the pain, stood up and fought with Jiao Ting for three rounds. Finally, he lay on the ground motionless, his body feeling as if it had fallen apart.

"Haha, my brother is the best in Shandong in wrestling and sumo. Brother Du Qian, you are using your weakness to fight his strength!"

Cao Jie began to activate his "Mengchang Jun" skill, took out a bottle of medicine for injuries, and said, "Come, I'll apply the medicine on you, don't hurt your bones."

With the ladder, Du Qian also came down from the stage and smiled awkwardly.

But when Cao Jie began to apply the medicine with massage techniques, Du Qian was surprised and asked, "This medicine...what is the relationship between my brother and Yan Wangdi, the doctor who brings the dead back to life in Qinghe County?"

Wu Song, who was acting as a bodyguard, said in a loud voice: "The enemy of the King of Hell is my brother Cao Jie."

Du Qian exclaimed, "Ah!" and immediately bowed his head. "Brother Song Wan refused to say where he bought the medicine after he came back. Later, there was a man named Yan Wangdi in Qinghe County who could revive the dead. Brother Song Wan then said that the medicine on the mountain was provided by Yan Wangdi. Brother Cao, please accept my greetings."

"My seventh brother's nickname is the Living Yama. I don't actually agree with this term."

Using a name that has been used by someone else is like marrying a second-hand one.

But once the name spreads, it is no longer something you can control.

Wang Lun was thinking about how much silver to use to get rid of this group of dragons crossing the river, when he suddenly heard the three words "Yanwangdi" and was immediately shocked.

He came up to listen and couldn't help but hold Cao Jie's hands, saying in surprise: "Brother, you are the enemy of the King of Hell? The flood washed away the Dragon King Temple! Brother, you should have said you were the enemy of the King of Hell! How could this be possible! Brother Zhu Gui, prepare a banquet..."

Serve tea! Serve good tea!

Please take a seat! Please take a seat!

In the underworld, if you have a good name, you can get by wherever you go.

Even the emperor had to be polite to the miracle doctor, let alone a bandit leader who robbed and looted...
