Among the four great classics, Lu Chen’s favorite since childhood was not Journey to the West, but Water Margin.
The scene in Water Margin that impressed him most was the scene where Song Jiang and his companions smashed their wine bowls after drinking before going to battle.
It was not easy to travel back to ancient times, and it was not easy to get such an opportunity. Lu Chen felt that if he did not smash the wine glass in his hand after drinking, it would always feel like something was missing.
Sure enough, when he threw it down, a sense of heroic spirit of a gangster emerged spontaneously, and Lu Chen felt that he was also a man of the world.
Thinking of this, he looked at Zi Yan and Liu Kang. Shouldn't a smart person say something helpful at this moment?
However, the praise and flattery that Lu Chen had imagined did not come. Instead, Zi Yan and Liu Kang were filled with astonishment and horror.
Lu Chen couldn't help scratching his head, thinking, what's going on? This seems different from what I imagined. Could it be that the posture and angle of my throwing the cup are different?
Just when Lu Chen was considering the possibility of falling again, more than 20 strong men rushed out from behind the screens on both sides of the hall. They were all holding knives and axes in their hands, and they didn't look like good people at first glance!
This sudden change left Lu Chen confused, but this was not the end.
Just as this group of people rushed out from behind the screen, the people brought by Liu Kang also stood up and took out weapons from their arms.
Seeing that the two parties who were just friendly and planning to build an empire together have now become hostile and want to kill each other directly, Lu Chen felt heartbroken!
"The city is so cunning! I want to go back to the countryside. The roads there are just as slippery, and people's hearts are even more complicated!"
"We were all brothers and sisters of the Holy Church, and we agreed to help each other. We agreed to conquer the world together, and this is how you conquer the world? Even if you want to use force against your own people, you should do it after you conquer the world, right?"
However, Liu Kang and Zi Yan's attention was no longer on Lu Chen. Looking at the ambush of swordsmen around them, Liu Kang said with a gloomy face, "Zi Yan, you are so bold! I came to inspect the Yangzhou branch on behalf of the leader. What are you planning to do by preparing these people? Do you want to harm the leader?"
Zi Yan glanced at Liu Kang with disdain and said, "Cult Leader? Haha! Do you really think that just because you have the title of Cult Leader, you can do whatever you want? I captured Lu Chen on my own initiative, and you guys just want him. Do you think I'm a fool?"
"Witch, my Holy Church respects the leader as the most respected, and you are just a saint. The Holy Church has trained you for so many years, and it would be fine if you were ungrateful, but now you actually do such a thing of repaying kindness with enmity. You are simply acting like a beast!" Liu Kang scolded.
Zi Yan sneered, "What's wrong? Do you feel you don't have the upper hand in terms of force, so you want to put pressure on me on the moral level? I'm telling you, put away your little thoughts. I originally thought that if you knew when to advance and when to retreat, I could let you leave here alive. I didn't expect you to be so ungrateful. Then don't leave today, stay!"
"Haha, you think you can defeat me? Do you really think this small number of people can stop me?"
"If these few people can't stop you, what about more?"
As Zi Yan spoke, she clapped her hands, and more than twenty people rushed in from outside. Each of them had a powerful crossbow in their hands, and after coming in, they aimed the crossbow arrows at Liu Kang and others.
Crossbows are indeed powerful weapons. Liu Kang, who had a calm expression just now, finally changed his expression when facing so many crossbows.
He stared at Zi Yan fiercely and said, "If I'm not mistaken, these crossbows are from the headquarters supporting your Yangzhou branch. I never thought that our headquarters would support you with all their heart and soul, but in the end, they would raise a bunch of ungrateful people!"
Zi Yan curled her lips in disdain and said, "Don't make your words sound so nice. Back then, you not only sent us crossbows, but also sent a large number of crossbowmen. Aren't you just trying to use these people to divide our Yangzhou branch?"
"It's a pity that I'm one step ahead of them. These brothers are now members of our Yangzhou branch. Your wishful thinking has failed!"
"Your people? Hahaha, I don't think so. Do you think our brothers from the headquarters are so easy to bribe? Open your eyes and take a good look."
Liu Kang waved his hand and the crossbowmen who rushed in aimed their crossbows at Zi Yan and the others.
The situation changed in an instant. Zi Yan's face turned pale and she said, "This is impossible. When did you contact them?"
Liu Kang snapped open his folding fan and fanned it triumphantly, saying, "Back when we were at headquarters, we considered this sort of thing, so we've been taking good care of these brothers' families. And when they left headquarters, we made an agreement that if headquarters really sent someone to the Yangzhou branch that day, they would have to obey orders. Even if I didn't meet them, they knew who to listen to!"
"Lady Saint, I advise you not to resist stubbornly. Crossbows are no joke. It would be such a shame if they really pierced a few holes in your body!"
As he spoke, Liu Kang's expression was full of joy, and it was obvious that he was extremely excited at the moment.
Zi Yan looked at the crossbowmen, then at Liu Kang, and suddenly a strange smile appeared on her face. She said, "You don't really think you have a sure win, do you? Threatening them with the brothers' families, only someone from your headquarters would do such a rotten thing!"
"Brothers, don't hold back any longer. Kill him today, and tomorrow I'll lead you to the headquarters!"
As soon as Zi Yan finished speaking, at least half of the crossbowmen turned their guns towards Liu Kang and the remaining crossbowmen.
Seeing this scene, the smug look on Liu Kang's face froze immediately. He said in disbelief, "This is impossible. Don't you care about your family at all?"
"Haha, family, the family at the headquarters is family, but the family at the Yangzhou branch is not family? Don't I know your little tricks? To tell you the truth, on the first day these people came, I had them marry new wives and settle down here. Compared to your family's coercion of them, it's obvious which is superior!"
"Bitch, it turns out you've been rebelling for a long time!"
"Haha, this is all because of you!"
"Why, do you think you have already won?"
"At least I can kill you first!"
"Kill me and you won't survive!"
"Am I afraid of you?"
“Come on!”
"Come here!"
"Ah, no wonder the White Lotus Sect has been unable to defeat the imperial court for so many years. With your kind of attitude, it's a wonder you could win!"
