The protagonist of this crossover film and television series is disrupting the plot again.

Chapter 34 Three Heroes and Five Righteous Men

Jiang Ping's earnest and persuasive words, which were both reasonable and persuasive, were hard not to be moved by.

Bai Yutang, however, remained expressionless and uttered only one sentence that left Jiang Ping speechless: "Is the Dulong Bridge still there?"

Jiang Ping was dumbfounded, then his expression began to show some panic.

How did Fifth Brother even know that he cut down the Dulong Bridge?

With so many people present yesterday, it's understandable that the plan might have leaked. But the Dulong Bridge project was something he did secretly, without telling anyone or letting anyone find out!

Originally, he thought that his fifth brother was skilled in martial arts and agile, and that his eldest brother and the others would not dare to be ruthless because of their brotherhood. He also thought that Zhan Zhao and the Ding brothers would probably not be able to make a move first because of their eldest and third brothers. So, he said in front of others that he was not feeling well, but secretly he went back to Trap Island to make arrangements to make it impossible for his fifth brother to escape, and at the same time, he could show off his own abilities.

If this matter succeeds, even if Fifth Brother is angry, there's nothing he can do. Moreover, Fifth Brother is the least resistant to provocation, and he's confident he can get Fifth Brother to go to Kaifeng Prefecture on his own initiative.

But things didn't go as planned. He waited on the river for a long time but no one showed up. When he got to the island, he found out that his third brother had killed his fifth brother. Suddenly, things took a turn for the worse.

This rendered all his efforts futile, and not only that, his fifth brother also found out.

This is absolutely unbelievable!

"Get out!" Bai Yutang said.

Jiang Ping dared not utter a word and left dejectedly.

Back in the hall, seeing the expectant looks on everyone's faces, he awkwardly touched his nose and said, "Fifth Brother won't listen to advice!"

When asked how he had persuaded Bai Yutang, the question was answered.

Jiang Ping was naturally embarrassed to relay Bai Yutang's words, especially the fact about Dulong Bridge, which was really awkward. He wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into when he thought about it. He had been clever for nothing and had spent half a day trying to outwit the air.

Therefore, he avoided the important points and simply repeated his own words in their entirety, while naturally omitting Bai Yutang's words.

Everyone sighed upon hearing this.

Xu Qing shrank back and dared not utter a sound. Because he had injured Bai Yutang yesterday, what was originally a reasonable matter suddenly became unreasonable. Now he dared not suggest trying to persuade others, because he would definitely be kicked out if he did.

Zhan Zhao stood up: "I'll go and explain to Bai Yutang. If he blames me, I'll apologize to him and that'll be it."

Lu Fang quickly stopped him, saying, "It's not your fault, it's all Fifth Brother's fault... he... sigh! I'll go find him!"

Lu Fang gritted his teeth as if he had made a tremendous decision. He immediately stopped Zhan Zhao and was about to go by himself. Just as he stepped out the door, Ding Zhaolan and Ding Zhaohui also stood up and said, "Let's brothers go too!"

Xu Qing glanced at Lu Fang's retreating figure, then at everyone in the hall, and suggested directly, "Why don't we all go?"

If this older brother can't persuade them, then it will be his turn to persuade them next. He definitely can't do it, and to avoid losing face, we should all go together!

If it's going to be embarrassing, we'll all be embarrassed together!

Besides, there's strength in numbers, so who knows, we might be able to persuade them!

……

The group followed Lu Fang to Bai Yutang's courtyard. When they arrived, Lu Fang was still hesitating whether to go in or not.

Lu Fang looked up at the people who had followed him, gritted his teeth, and knocked on the door: "Fifth Brother, are you there?"

Everyone was speechless.

"Come in!" a voice came from inside the house.

Lu Fang silently cheered himself up, pushed open the door and looked inside. He saw Bai Yutang leaning against the bed railing, applying medicine to his wound. The gruesome wound was still bleeding.

Lu Fang's heart ached so much that tears streamed down her face. She instantly forgot what she was about to say and surrounded Bai Yutang, offering him comfort and care.

"Fifth brother, are you still in pain? It's all third brother's fault, he hit too hard."

Xu Qing, who had just followed in, was speechless. He turned and glared at Jiang Ping, his meaning clear: Look at the terrible idea you came up with!

Jiang Ping...

Okay! Okay! It's all his fault!

Lu Fang, a man in his forties or fifties, was crying his eyes out; it was heartbreaking to see.

Bai Yutang frowned, but couldn't bring himself to say anything harsh. He could only helplessly say, "It's just a superficial injury; there's no serious damage to the bones."

Lu Fang ignored him, constantly groaning "Ouch!" as if he were the one who was injured. He even snatched the medicine bottle from Bai Yutang's hand and gently helped apply the medicine and bandage the wound.

Bai Yutang didn't resist, after all, it was indeed a bit difficult for him to apply the medicine to himself.

Zhan Zhao stepped forward, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Fifth Brother, please consider my foolish brother's feelings. This matter was entirely caused by Zhan Zhao. If you have any blame to bear, please blame Zhan Zhao."

Bai Yutang looked at him, thought for a moment, and asked, "Where is Bai Fu?"

!! !! Bai Fu!

Zhan Zhao suddenly realized that after he snatched the three treasures back from Bai Fu yesterday, he had temporarily tied Bai Fu up in the East Bamboo Forest to prevent him from tipping off Bai Fu. He planned to capture the Golden-haired Rat and then release him. However, something unexpected happened and Bai Yutang was injured, so he forgot about Bai Fu.

Zhan Zhao said awkwardly, "I forgot for a moment that he was still in the East Bamboo Forest. I'll go and release him right now."

Xu Qing quickly said, "There's no need for the Southern Hero, I'll go myself. I know where Bai Fu is."

Without waiting for Zhan Zhao's reaction, he turned and left.

Zhan Zhao awkwardly touched his nose, and for a moment he was too embarrassed to say anything more.

The two Ding brothers looked at each other, unsure of what to say. They had come specifically to help their brother-in-law, Zhan Zhao, but now that he remained silent, they were at a loss for words.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Fang finally finished bandaging his wound.

Bai Yutang ignored everyone and lay back down on the bed.

Lu Fang: "Fifth brother, you..."

Bai Yutang: "We will set off at the beginning of the morning tomorrow and head to Kaifeng Prefecture."

Upon hearing this, Lu Fang was overjoyed, knowing that he always kept his word and never went back on his word. He immediately said, "In that case, Fifth Brother, you should rest well first. We'll set off on time early tomorrow morning!"

As he spoke, he didn't forget to take everyone with him.

The next day, just as dawn was breaking, everyone had already gotten up and made all the necessary preparations, waiting for Bai Yutang to finish packing so they could set off immediately, fearing that something else might go wrong.

The group remained silent throughout the journey, focusing solely on their travels, making the atmosphere somewhat somber.

Bai Yutang genuinely had nothing to say to them. Firstly, he was naturally aloof, and secondly, they weren't familiar with each other and had nothing to talk about.

In addition, he subconsciously tried to avoid getting too involved with the people who traveled through the world, so as not to be sad when he left.

The reason he was able to leave the previous world so easily was largely because he had no karmic entanglement or emotional bond with that world.

He didn't invest much emotion in that world, nor was there anyone or anything there that he was attached to. He was all alone, lonely yet carefree and free. Whether to stay or leave was entirely up to him, and he would never put himself in a difficult position.

So in this world, he plans to live a few years of peaceful life as he pleases, just like in the last world, and then move on to the next world after recovering his state of mind.

However, his change inevitably made the other people in his group think more.

Without him.

The current Bai Yutang is so different from the Bai Yutang of the past.
