Chapter 143 I have Wu Song, the advantage lies with me
All the anger and disappointment ultimately turned into a shout.
Wu Song roared, "Song Jiang, how dare you be so ungrateful!"
Song Jiang stepped forward and laughed, "Wu Erlang, what do you mean by being ungrateful? Wang Lun betrayed me first, what righteousness do I owe him?"
Wu Song stepped forward and said, "Brother, have I ever wronged you? Brother, have I ever wronged anyone?"
"Inside the White Dragon Temple, I suggested taking the opportunity to kill Huang Wenbing to avenge me. That bastard Wang Lun didn't think about avenging me; he only thought about escaping. Isn't that betraying me?"
Song Jiang was somewhat agitated, speaking loudly and spitting as he spoke.
"I, Song Jiang, am the timely rain of Shandong. Where have I not received the full support of my brothers? In Qingfeng Village, Hua Rong, Qin Ming, and Huang Xin call me their brother. At Chai Jin's manor, how could Chai Jin not acknowledge me as his brother? Lei Heng, Dai Zong, Xue Yong, and Li Kui—which one of them dares to say no to me?"
Song Jiang pointed at Wang Lun behind Wu Song and angrily said, "Only he deliberately slighted me and looked down on me, making me a military agricultural commissioner and forcing me to farm. Wang Lun bullied and humiliated me, can't I kill him?"
Wu Song was so angry that he could hardly control his emotions. He said, "Who traveled thousands of miles to save you? It was the chief! Although the chief did not agree to your plan at Bailong Temple, he still managed to capture Wuwu Army overnight and capture Huang Wenbing, allowing you to get your revenge. Is that a betrayal of you? The chief said that the garrison commander is responsible for the food supply of all the soldiers in Liangshan. It is of great significance. How could he have neglected you?"
Song Jiang roared, "Wu Song, don't say another word. Whether you help me today or not has no impact on my grand plan. The heroes around me are from the Manichaean sect in Jiangnan. We have only one goal today, and that is to kill Wang Lun."
Wang Lun smiled slightly, raised his teacup, and offered a distant toast to Song Jiang. He then poured the tea into his mouth and praised, "Good tea."
Song Jiang laughed loudly, "Wang Lun, how can you be so arrogant? Do you really think you're in charge of everything?"
Wang Lun remained seated and smiled, "Song Jiang, I understand you want to kill me. If I were you, I would have done the same. But you're too hasty. Even though the main force of the Flying Tiger Army is out on the move, are you sure you can defeat me?"
Song Jiang sneered, "Now is the best opportunity."
Wang Lun shook his head and sighed, "I used to think that although you were determined to be recruited by the emperor, you were shrewd and ruthless, and that you were quite a character. But now I see that you are just a pretty face with no substance."
Song Jiang angrily said, "Wang Lun, you're about to die and you're still being stubborn. With Hua Rong and Huang Xin out of the picture, you only have Wu Song by your side. How can you possibly win?"
Wang Lun glanced at Wu Song and said, "I have Wu Song, so the advantage is with me."
Shi Bao stepped forward and asked in a deep voice, "You're Wu Song? I heard you can fight tigers?"
Wu Song looked at Shi Bao and asked, "Who are you?"
Wang Lun also became interested in this person. Fang La had several experts under his command, but he didn't know who this person was or why he had come to cause trouble for him.
Although brave, he was also foolish.
They think they can kill me with just a few men? Do they really think the Liangshan Flying Tiger Army is a pushover?
Wang Lun asked with a smile, "Brother, I, Wang Lun, have never offended Fang La. Why have you come to my door? I've heard that Fang La has several very capable heroes under his command: Shi Bao, Deng Yuanjue, Li Tianrun, Si Xingfang, Wang Yin, and Fang Jie. May I ask who you are?"
Shi Bao found it quite strange and said, "Where did you get so much information? Our Holy Lord hasn't started any uprising yet, so logically, very few people in the world should know our brothers' names."
Wang Lun chuckled and said, "Fang La thought he was keeping his uprising a secret, that he had done it without anyone noticing, but in fact, the whole world already knew about it."
Shi Bao was shocked: "What?"
Wang Lun said, "Oh no, I should say that the whole world will know from tomorrow onwards, because I will use the Jianghu Daily to spread the news of Fang La's rebellion widely, especially sending more copies to Tokyo, so that the court can make preparations in advance."
Shi Bao roared, "Wang Lun, you little brat, you won't live to see tomorrow!"
He was Fang La's confidant and knew best about Fang La's planned uprising. He knew that Fang La was not yet fully prepared, and if the matter were to be leaked, the imperial court would send troops to suppress it, and Fang La would inevitably be defeated in a hurry.
In any case, Wang Lun cannot live to see tomorrow.
Wang Lun laughed and said, "You still haven't told me your name?"
Shi Bao said, "I'll let you die knowing why. I am Shi Bao. You injured Li Tianrun in Jiankang and then framed me. Your malice is truly despicable. Fortunately, the Holy Emperor is discerning and sent people to investigate the matter, restoring justice to me. But even so, since you were determined to harm me, I will kill you."
Wang Lun laughed heartily, "So you are Shi Bao. I've heard of your great name for a long time. I beat up Li Tianrun and framed you because I knew you were impulsive and vengeful. I knew you would come to seek revenge after you found out the truth. But once you come, I will make sure you don't leave alive. From now on, you will stay by my side as a guard."
Shi Bao angrily retorted, "How dare you speak so arrogantly!"
He had already drawn his sword and shouted, "Brothers, charge! Kill Wang Lun!"
The sword-wielding warrior charged forward, meeting Wu Song head-on.
Wu Song also wielded a knife and was skilled in foot combat. The two knife-wielding experts fought each other, their swordsmanship sharp and swift, making for a very entertaining spectacle.
Wang Lun held his teacup, watching with great interest.
Song Jiang and Dai Zong followed behind the crowd and rushed toward Wang Lun, but were intercepted by Wang Lun's guards.
The two sides clashed and fought.
Wang Lun's guards were all handpicked from the Flying Tiger Army, and their skills were all excellent. Most of the confidants that Song Jiang had recruited recently were not good at martial arts and were no match for him.
However, the men brought by Shi Bao were all highly skilled in martial arts, and several guards were injured.
The men brought by Shi Bao worked together and were quite lethal. They broke through the guards' encirclement and rushed into the inner room where Wang Lun was.
Zhao Ping'an and Shi Qian, armed with knives, stood in front of them and went to meet them.
Wang Lun no longer stood idly by. He put down his teacup, drew his two triangular daggers, and charged straight at Song Jiang.
He was very fast. Now, many of Song Jiang's men had been injured, and the men brought by Shi Bao were also held back by Zhao Ping'an and Shi Qian. No one cared about Wang Lun.
Wang Lun, gripping his military dagger, charged directly at Song Jiang without any resistance.
Song Jiang was startled and hurriedly swung his sword to strike, but Wang Lun parried it with his left-hand military dagger and then thrust his right-hand military dagger into Song Jiang's lower abdomen.
With a clang, Song Jiang drew his sword to block.
Wang Lun was quick to act, and his skill with the military dagger was something he had studied extensively with masters like Wu Song and Lu Zhishen. His moves were extremely ruthless, and almost every move could be fatal.
Song Jiang's mediocre skills were no match for Wang Lun; he was quickly outmatched after only a few exchanges.
In his panic, he turned to look at Shi Bao, only to find that Shi Bao and Wu Song were locked in a fierce battle, making it impossible for Shi Bao to quickly escape the battlefield and kill Wang Lun.
Song Jiang then regretted it.
He underestimated Wu Song's martial arts skills, and he also underestimated Wang Lun's martial arts prowess.
Although Wang Lun only has Wu Song by his side now, Wu Song is not the only expert.
In fact, Wang Lun had somehow mastered martial arts and was a formidable kung fu master.
Song Jiang was in a very sorry state and kept retreating.
After taking a few steps back, they heard footsteps and hundreds of people entered the government office and surrounded the small courtyard.
Without turning around, he heard Yang Zhi's voice: "Chief, please step back and let me fight Song Jiang."
Then another person said, "Why bother with Vanguard Yang? With just one arrow from me, Song Jiang will surely die."
It was Pang Wanchun's voice.
Song Jiang was utterly despondent.
