Water Margin: You dog official, you still say you don’t know martial arts?

Chapter 674 Liu Gao: I helped you get the throne, and you asked me to take the blame for you? [1 more]

With such a big thing happening, Pang Wanchun decided to go meet Fang La in person with Liu Gao and Fang Tianding.

Pang Qiuxia naturally insisted on going with him.

Pang Wanchun handed Yuling Pass over to his two deputy generals Lei Jiong and Ji Ji, and personally led 500 men to protect Fang Tianding to Bangyuan Cave.

So Liu Gao's team expanded again.

"Brother, you have to help me!"

In the carriage, Fang Tianding held Liu Gao's hand affectionately:
"If you don't help me I'll be dead!"

Liu Gao laughed: "Not really..."

"Brother, I can't beat my Third Uncle!"

Fang Tianding said dejectedly:
“I know myself.

"I can't read, I'm not very good at martial arts, I've never fought in a war, and I'm not that cruel..."

Liu Gao was speechless: But you have self-knowledge!

Fang Tianding said worriedly:
"Brother, I have a feeling that Uncle San has a backup plan waiting for me!

“My third uncle is in Bangyuan Cave right now, so my visit to my father this time may be very dangerous!
"Brother, you must help me!

"Besides you, I don't know who I can trust anymore!"

Liu Gao nodded: "That's right..."

Just think about it, even his own uncle wanted to kill him!
Who can Fang Tianding still trust?

But why should Liu Gao help him?

Fang Tianding came prepared. He grabbed Liu Gao's hand:

"Brother, you help me and I will help you!
"When I become the Archbishop, I will support you in becoming the king of Shandong!"

"What are you talking about!"

Liu Gao's face darkened and he shook off his hand:

I treat you as a brother, why are you making empty promises for me?
It has to be said that Fang Tianding still has the potential to be an emperor. At least he is naturally good at drawing big pictures.

Liu Gao thought Fang Tian would play the emotional card with him, but he kept talking about business...

Well, since it’s a business, Liu Gao doesn’t have any psychological burden.

"Ah this..."

Fang Tianding saw that the pie-in-the-sky approach didn't work and quickly changed to a more realistic condition:
"Brother, what do you think of Hangzhou?"

Liu Gao: “Not bad.”

"If you don't give up, I will give you Hangzhou!"

Fang Tianding grabbed Liu Gao's hand again:
"Then we brothers will be inseparable and support each other!"

"Well……"

Liu Gao had to admit that Fang Tianding's condition was very realistic.

Hangzhou is the most prosperous city in Jiangnan, after all, it is the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty!

only……

"Brother, you have a good plan!"

Liu Gao looked at Fang Tianding meaningfully:
"The imperial court has already conquered Suzhou, which is only separated from Hangzhou by Xiuzhou.

“By the time you succeed to the throne, Xiuzhou might have been conquered by the imperial court.

"You gave me Hangzhou, so I can be your scapegoat, right?
"I helped you get the throne, and you want me to take the knife for you?"

"No no no!"

Fang Tianding panicked:
"Brother, please forgive me. I have no such intention!

"I just want to give my best to my brother!

"Brother, please don't misunderstand me!"

"That's all!"

Liu Gao sneered in his heart and changed the subject:
“Brother, I help you only because you are my brother!
"You gave Hangzhou to me. Wouldn't it make people misunderstand that I helped you just to get Hangzhou?"

"Ah this..."

Fang Tianding was stunned: So do you want it or not?
I don’t know how to explain this?

The corners of Liu Gao's mouth twitched twice secretly:

Haven’t you heard the story of my ancestor, who gave up Xuzhou three times?

Why don’t you give it another try?

Fang Tianding hesitated and decided to try again:
"Don't worry, brother, this is my sincerity!
"Brother, you saved my life. It is not too much for me to give you the whole world. What is Hangzhou worth?

"If you don't accept it, I won't dare to ask you for help!"

You're quite boastful. Are you the only states in the world?
Liu Gao sighed: "Well, we are brothers after all!"

"Thank you for helping me, brother!" Fang Tianding was so excited that he bowed down:

Very good!
My brother helped me get the throne and also helped me guard the country!

After I ascend the throne, I can rest assured!
"You!"

Liu Gao rubbed Fang Tianding's head:

"Don't be happy too soon, we don't know what kind of bloody storm is waiting for us!

"As for Hangzhou, let's talk about it after we defeat your Third Uncle first!

"If we can't defeat your Third Uncle, we'll all be dead!"

Fang Tianding was startled: "I completely rely on you, brother!

"Brother, you must help me!"

"nonsense!"

Liu Gao put his arm around his shoulders affectionately:

"We are brothers, if I don't help you, who will?"

Fang Tianding nodded vigorously: "Yeah!"

"Your Highness!"

Pang Wanchun's voice sounded beside the carriage:

"We are about to reach Shezhou. Should we go into the city?"

Shezhou?

Liu Gao remembered that Shezhou was ruled by the emperor's uncle, King Fang Hou.

Fang Hu is Fang La's uncle and Fang Jie's grandfather.

Fang Hu's son was the original second king, but he had died in battle.

Fang La lost his father and Fang Hu lost his son.

Although they are uncle and nephew, they are as close as father and son.

The problem now is that it is still early. If we don’t go into Shezhou, there is no problem in continuing on our way.

But Fang Hu is Fang Tianding's grandfather after all, and it would be bad for Fang Tianding to not be able to go to Shezhou to see him...

Fang Tianding was hesitant and asked Liu Gao:

"Brother, do you think we should go into the city?"

Liu Gao asked back, "You and your uncle Fang Mao are fighting for the throne. Who are you helping, uncle?"

"Neither of us can help each other..."

At this point, Fang Tianding's eyes lit up:
"Brother, do you want me to bring the Second Master over here?"

Liu Gao asked again: "Is it difficult?"

"It was originally very difficult. My Second Master does not interfere in matters concerning the throne."

Fang Tianding's eyes lit up:
“But if my Second Master knew that my Third Uncle sent assassins to kill me, he would definitely stand on my side!
"Brother, let's go into the city!"

Liu Gao had no objection.

He and Fang Jie are sworn brothers, but strictly speaking, he is closer to Fang Hu.

So Fang Tianding's team entered the city.

With Fang Tianding as the pioneer, Liu Gao easily met his uncle, King Fang Hou.

It has to be said that people grow through experience, and Fang Tianding's performance was even more outstanding than Liu Gao had imagined.

"Second Master..."

Fang Tianding threw himself into Fang Hu's arms with tears streaming down his face and almost knocked the old man down!

Liu Gao looked at Fang Hu. He looked very similar to Fang Jie, except that he had white hair and a gray beard.

"What's wrong with the prince?"

Fang Hu held Fang Tianding in his arms and asked in surprise:

"What happened, why did it come to this?"

"Second Master, it's a long story!"

Fang Tianding sobbed and looked around.

Fang Hu understood what he meant and took Fang Tianding into the back hall.

Liu Gao and his friends were waiting in the hall. Deng Yuanjue had nothing to do, so he introduced someone to Liu Gao:
"Brother Liu, let me introduce you to a brave man!"

Liu Gao saw that although this man was a civil servant, he was tall and strong, with a broad back and strong waist, like Li Kui.

Deng Yuanjue took the man's hand and said with a smile:

"To be honest, my brother is as brave as ten thousand men!
"I am not as good as him!"
