Chapter 12 A clever plan in exchange for a safe place

"Zou Er, what kind of fame are you doing?"

It was the stout man who spoke, and Miao Ling thought that he should be the head of this Hu Fengzhai. And the "Zou Er" he called in his mouth should be the Humpty Dumpty man.

"Boss, Junko and I robbed two suspicious people at the bottom of the mountain."

That Shunzi is a tall and thin boy, as soon as Zou Laoer's words fell, he listened to Shunzi, "Yes, they said that they were fleeing from the famine, but according to the small one, it is simply a young master and young lady from a rich family, maybe... It was eloped. ”

As soon as everyone heard the word "elopement", the time suddenly boiled again. The boss was not happy to hear this, and hurriedly waved his hand and scolded, "What are you arguing about?" All given quietly. ”

The stout man pointed at Miao Ling and Cheng Eun, "It's the two of them?" ”

Zou Lao Er nodded in response. Estimating that the distance was far away, the stout man couldn't see clearly, so he sent the young man beside him down to take a closer look. He called the young man "Little Four".

Xiao Si'er's legs and feet are very dexterous, and he came down from the high stairs in three or five strokes, holding a torch in his hand, and shining it on the faces of Chengen and Miaoling. Then he looked up and shouted, "Yes, this pair of men and women don't dress like ordinary people. ”

When the stout man heard this, he also stepped down from above, and looked at the two of them with a strong firelight. After a while, the man asked, "Hmph, dog man and woman." ”

Cheng En was disgusted when he heard this, and immediately took a sip, "What kind of dog man and woman, put my mouth clean." ”

The stout man didn't expect him to dare to say this, and Deng Shi was stunned. But the second Zou was clever, and when he went up, he slapped Chengen and scolded, "It's not honest to fuck." ”

Cheng En argued bitterly, "If you want to kill or cut at me, you are all great masters, if you dare to touch a hair of her, I will let you die without a place to be buried." ”

"Yo, it's pretty hard." The stout man glanced at Miao Ling again, "I also said that it wasn't a dog man and woman who eloped, I Hu San really didn't believe it, so tell me, what is your relationship?" ”

Cheng Enden didn't answer, and Miao Ling immediately said, "We are brother and sister. She paused, afraid that Hu San would not believe it, and added, "It's cousins, I confess, we did lie, in fact, we escaped from marriage, and I was afraid that you would laugh, so I changed my words." ”

Cheng'en was so surprised by this answer that he was stunned for a while, not knowing how to continue.

"His grandmother's is a runaway again." Zou Lao Er pointed at Miao Ling and said to Hu San, "Boss, don't listen to this girl's nonsense, she is fleeing from the famine for a while, seeing that we see their identities and changing their names to escape marriage, the man has a gunshot wound in the leg, I see, these two people did something illegal in Jingling City and escaped." ”

When Miao Ling heard him hear this, she suddenly felt a pang in her heart, and without waiting for Hu San to react, she said, "Wronged, you see what I can do as a weak woman, he is my cousin, and he did work as an errand in Jingling, just because my father wanted to marry me to a bad old man who was about to die of illness, he helped me escape from the city, who expected, in order to avoid the pursuit of my family, unfortunately fell down a steep slope, my cousin was injured, he helped me, but I couldn't ignore him." Later, I met the two. I swear, I don't dare to tell the truth. ”

She said sonorously and forcefully, her eyes were firm, and Hu Sanyi was stunned when she heard it, and she was skeptical.

"Since that's the case, then I can't keep you, Zou Er, Ming'er will take the two of them back to Jingling, we can't afford to provoke this disaster."

As soon as Zou Lao Er was about to agree, he saw Miao Ling begging, "The little woman has long heard that the brothers in Hu Fengzhai are all righteous heroes, if Hu Lao Er is willing to take in our brothers and sisters, go to the soup and go to the fire, I will not hesitate." It's just that if you send us back to Jingling, we will only die. ”

Hu San frowned and asked rhetorically, "Leave you behind?" Hmph, I'll leave you two young masters and young ladies to serve you? ”

Miao Ling said, "No, we are not a big family, I have been doing laundry and cooking since I was a child, as for my cousin, he has a good kung fu and good marksmanship, I think Boss Hu doesn't just want to sit on this small hill." ”

Miao Ling's later sentence hit Hu San's heart, and I saw that Hu San immediately cast a sharp gaze at Cheng En, "You said he knows kung fu and shoots?" ”

Cheng En snorted, "I will have more skills, but Maxima often has, Bole does not often have." ”

Hu San and the others didn't understand what Maxima and Bole were, but listening to his posture, they felt that it was a reasonable sentence. Zou Lao Er and Shunzi were also said to be stunned, and they had no idea for a while. It was the little fourth child who leaned into Hu San's ear and muttered, "Daddy might as well ask that man to see what he is capable of." ”

Hu San felt reasonable, so he said, "Then tell me, what are your skills?" ”

Cheng En said, "I can shoot an arrow into the throat of my prey, I can pierce the skull with a shot, and I know how to set up a formation." ”

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked.

Hu San was stunned for a moment, then sneered again, "Hmph, I think you can only eat cows." ”

Cheng En continued, "I have a way to help you capture Mulian Village within five days, and surrender more than 1,000 guns and 20 boxes of gold bars." ”

When Hu San heard this, he was shocked. Namulianzhai is the largest bandit leader in Jingling, a large village of tens of thousands of people, gold and silver treasures, guns and ammunition comparable to the Lu family's army. Mu Chengfeng, the owner of the village, is domineering, and the wife of the owner of the village is also the daughter of a big village owner, and she looks down on the small cottage next to her, bullying and oppressing, doing all kinds of evil, and even the Lu Jiahui army dares to fight. He Hu Fengzhai is the smallest mountain, just because he is unable to resist Mu Lianzhai, and he has to pay protection fees regularly every year, Hu Fengzhai's income is not much, and he has long been dissatisfied with him. Although there is a sense of resistance, there is no intention to replace it.

Cheng En's words undoubtedly touched the most sensitive one of Hu San's heartstrings, he has been the owner of the village for many years, why don't he want his brothers on the mountain to live a worry-free life, but where are the current conditions enough?

Hu San was still hesitating, so he listened to Zou Lao Er, "Boss, don't listen to him, where does he know what art of war is arranged, who can't say big things?" ”

Miao Ling also felt that Chengen was a little exaggerated, although she knew that Lu Chengen was not small, but she felt that it was indeed a matter of eating cattle to win Mulianzhai on the fifth day, and she couldn't help but worry about him.

But listening to Cheng'en, he said confidently, "The so-called capture of the thief first captures the king, if you don't take down Mulian Village, how can the people of other villages believe in you?" ”

Seeing that he didn't look like a big talker, Hu San leaned in and asked, "Do you really have a law?" ”

"I never speak."

"If you can't take it in five days, what about Mulian Village?"

"It's up to you, but I have two conditions."

"On what terms?"

"First, take good care of my sister, and don't allow anyone to approach her and touch her in the slightest."

"No problem."

"Second, all the plans are arranged and formulated by me, and your people must unconditionally obey and implement them, and if any of them are not executed properly, I will not be responsible for the failure of the action."

Zou Lao Er rushed to say when he heard this, "Boss, he is shirking his responsibility, thinking that the law is fooling us, and he can't be fooled." ”

Xiao Si'er said, "He is already at the end of his rope, if he can stay in our Hufeng Village, it is his best choice, I don't think he is talking big." Even if he was talking big, it would not be too late to slaughter their brother and sister when the time came. ”

Hu San seems to be inclined to his son Xiaosi'er, but he is still a little uneasy.

"Okay, my Hu San believes you, if you don't succeed, and it will hurt my Hu Fengzhai big thing, I will slaughter your head and hang it in front of my Hu Feng Zhai Village, as for your cousin, be my mother-in-law and give me a son."

Cheng En saw that he had to involve Miao Ling, and he was a little apprehensive in his heart. Miao Ling nodded slightly at him at this time, meaning not to worry about her.

Cheng En thought for a while, then raised his head and said, "What if I become it?" ”

Hu San said, "Then I, Hu San, will marry Jin Lan with you, and please sit in Hu Fengzhai's second master and share your wealth." Seeing that he still had concerns, Hu San said, "As for your sister, let you deal with it." ”

Cheng En listened to it and said bluntly, "Okay! ”

Cheng En immediately arranged the plan to seize Mu Lian Zhai, although Hu San is the master of a village, but he does not know how to capture the enemy, only knows how to fight hard, listening to Cheng En's method of not moving a knife and a gun, he feels that it is really incredible, and he is not sure in his heart. He has always been known for practicing what he says, and since he has promised Lu Chengen, he can't go back.

Miao Ling was also a little confused, but considering the situation at the time, it was not easy to speak out, and only waited until Zou Lao Er locked the two of them in a thatched hut and waited for everyone to go away, and then asked about the doubts in his heart.

"Do you know that Mulian Village?"

Cheng En said with a smile, "I knew that you were confused, thinking that I had just joined the army and won a job, and I fought Mu Lianzhai, and this fight was three years." ”

"Three years!" Miao Ling was very surprised, but after this short period of surprise, he suddenly realized, "No wonder you dare to make bold statements, but I really think you are talking big." ”

Cheng En chuckled, leaning against the wall with a somewhat unstable center of gravity, "It's up to people to make things happen, and it's up to heaven to make things happen." It's a big story, but it's also true. ”

Cheng En continued, "The reason why Mu Lianzhai is so powerful, and it has grown year after year, threatening the Hui army, is not only because Mu Chengfeng dares to think and dare to do, but also because of his capable wife. Few people know that his wife Lian was once the chief maid in the former dynasty Prince Yiheshuo, and the prince's house hid countless gold and silver treasures, but no one knew where the treasures were. Lian is shrewd, when the prince was there, she secretly knew the hiding place, and when the prince fell, his house was raided, but nothing was copied. At that time, my uncle was only a local military leader, and he also knew about the treasure hidden by the prince in the house, so he thought of the law to get this treasure. Who knows, when my uncle got the news, the treasure had already been washed away, and my uncle regretted it, and later learned that it was the Lian clan who rolled it away, she was robbed by Mu Chengfeng at that time, in order to save her life, she handed over the treasure at the moment and became Mu Chengfeng's wife, and since then Mujiazhai has been renamed Mulian Zhai. ”

Miao Ling sighed, "I see, so they have strong guns and ammunition, and they can also recruit troops, and it coincides with troubled times, so they grow very fast." ”

"Yes, so my uncle always remembered that when he became the commander of the Hui army, the first thing he had to do was to capture Mulianzhai, not to suppress bandits, but to capture Mulianzhai's treasures. I fought with Mu Chengfeng for three years, and I finally found a way to annihilate him in one fell swoop, but I was abandoned by my uncle because of the warlord melee. ”

"So, do you want Zou Lao Er and Shunzi to pretend that Mu Lianzhai's people arrested us, use us as bait, wait for Lu Chengze to be fooled, and then let Lu Chengze fight with Mu Chengfeng, and finally take advantage of the fisherman?"

"Yes, but that's the general direction. Lu Chengze is different from the past, after so much, he has also developed a suspicious temperament, fortunately, Mu Chengfeng is a straight man, as long as Lu Chengze comes to find trouble, Mu Chengfeng will not give him good fruits to eat. If you let the people of Hu Fengzhai publicize the treasures of Mulian Village, don't say that it is Lu Chengze, and the nearby Southwest Army will not be able to sit still. ”
