That night, around two o'clock in the unitary hour, Guan Shuo and Chen Miao came to the Shahe River to wait for the boat that Zhou Hu said in the letter.

Glancing at Guan Shuo, Chen Miao, and a few rebel soldiers holding torches beside them, Huang Yun whispered to Zhang Ji: "Brother Zhang Ji, why take this risk? ”

You must know that because of Zhang Ji's curiosity about that Zhou Hu, Fang Cai Chen told them a lot of things about that Zhou Hu, which made Huang Yun tremble when he heard it.

There is no doubt that Zhou Hu is definitely a giant in the Kunyang area!

As the so-called gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, Huang Yun feels that there is no need to take this risk in order to see that Zhou Hu, after all, that Zhou Hu is a villain who doesn't even pay attention to Guan Shuo and Chen Miao.

Looking at the trembling Huang Yun, Zhang Ji said with a smile: "Brother Zimei, don't worry, didn't Chen Shuai say it?" That Zhou Hu and Nanyang Qu made Zhang Zhai have an old relationship, and besides, he reached a private agreement with the righteous teacher, so there will be no danger...... Later, I will act as the escort of the two Qu Shuai, and what Zhou Hu looks like. ”

"Didn't Chen Shuai say that Zhou Hu was once burned and covered his face with a mask when he went in and out, what can be seen from this?"

Huang Yun was helpless, and shook his head with a wry smile: "How could Brother Zhang Ji be interested in a bandit?" ”

After that, he seemed to think of something, and asked in surprise: "Could it be that Brother Zhang Ji is from Kunyang." ”

"That's not ......"

Zhang Ji's eyes flashed a little gloomy, and he stopped talking, but finally did not reveal anything.

Just when Huang Yun wanted to continue asking, a soldier beside Guan Shuo in front of him suddenly whispered: "Guan Shuai, Chen Shuai, a ship is coming......

Huang Yun turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw a boat on the river at night, with a flag with the words 'Kunye Mutual Benefit' on the boat.

"Huh?"

Zhang Ji was slightly stunned, when he saw this unfamiliar flag, he immediately thought of the banner of the 'Luye Freemasonry', and felt that the two were inexplicably similar.

"Bang."

Guided by a soldier wielding a torch, the boat slowly docked on the riverbank.

Immediately, a sturdy brute came out of the cabin, stood on the bow of the boat, and glanced at Guan Shuo, Chen Miao and others on the shore.

Seeing that the two of them did not bring too many guards, he nodded and said, "You can go in for six people." ”

Guan Shuo waved his hand, and immediately a nominal soldier took the lead in boarding the ship, glanced into the cabin, and then returned to Guan Shuo's side and whispered a few words.

"Snort." The reckless man sneered, and said with mockery: "Don't be a villain...... That's what. ”

“……”

Guan Shuo glanced at the reckless man coldly, and he didn't talk nonsense with the other party.

After all, he also recognized the reckless man, who was Zhou Hu's right-hand man, Niu Heng.

He was the first to board the ship.

Following him, Chen Miao nodded to Huang Yun and Zhang Ji, and also boarded the boat.

"This guy...... It's so strong.'"

When boarding the boat, Zhang Ji couldn't help but glance at the bull heng, he was surprised that there were such tall and burly reckless men in the world, but the other party's mouth, that rude and uneducated tone, immediately made him frown: "What do you see?" ”

"No, no."

Afraid that Zhang Ji would have a conflict with this sturdy reckless man, Huang Yun hurriedly pushed Zhang Ji into the cabin.

At this time in the cabin, Zhao Yu took Jingnu and He Shun, as well as two black tiger thieves, who were sitting in the cabin, quietly waiting for Guan Shuo, Chen Miao and others.

"Guan Shuai, Chen Shuai......"

Zhao Yu was greeting with his fists in his hands, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Zhang Ji, who was walking in behind Guan Shuo and Chen Miao, and his face under the mask was suddenly full of consternation.

Immediately, the consternation turned into surprise.

Zhang Ji?!

Is it Zhang Ji?!

He's alive?!

Zhao Yu recognized at a glance that the man who followed Guan Shuo and Chen Miao into the cabin was none other than one of the two guards beside him back then, Zhang Ji.

From the side, Jing Nu obviously recognized Zhang Ji, who was originally sitting quietly beside Zhao Yu, sat up unconsciously, and straightened her back.

Zhao Yu noticed Jingnu's abnormality in time, quietly held her hand, and gently pinched it twice, signaling her not to make a noise.

Because there was a low table in front of the two, Guan Shuo and Chen Miao didn't notice Zhao Yu's small movements, but Zhao Yu's behavior of staring at Zhang Ji and Jing Nu's behavior of subconsciously sitting up made Guan Shuo and Chen Miao feel a little wrong.

"Leader Zhou, what's wrong?" Chen Miao said tentatively.

As soon as Zhao Yu heard it, he knew that the subtle movements of him and Jing Nu were excited, which aroused the suspicion of Guan Shuo and Chen Miao.

He suppressed the excitement in his heart, raised his hand to Zhang Ji, and asked as calmly as possible in a voice that was even more hoarse than he usually pretended to be hoarse: "This ...... It seems a bit of a face. ”

"This Zhou Hu is really cautious enough......

Chen Miao was mistaken, thinking that Zhao Yu just saw the face, and after looking back at Zhang Ji, who was already sitting in the corner of the cabin, he explained: "This is ......"

He paused for a moment, and finally decided to tell the truth: "This is the envoy sent by Zhao Qushuai, the righteous master of Jiangdong, who came to visit him because he heard the name of the leader of Zhou. …… As for the rest, forgive Chen for inconvenience. ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Ji also hugged his fist towards Zhao Yu: "Zhang Ji, I've seen Leader Zhou." ”

"Sure enough, it's Zhang Ji...... Zhang Ji defected to Jiangdong? It seems that my brother, after escaping that day, is also afraid to defect to the Koto ......' sweet potato

Zhao Yu thought secretly.

At this time, he felt Jingnu squeeze his hand, and seemed to be in a hurry.

Zhao Yu gently patted Jingnu's hand with his fingers, signaling her to be calm.

Although Jing Nu didn't speak, he could more or less guess what Jing Nu wanted to express: find a way to recognize Zhang Ji.

But after thinking about it carefully, Zhao Yu thought that this matter should not be in a hurry.

For example, he first had to make sure that Zhang Ji was still loyal to him, the Luyang Zhao family, or to him.

It's not that he doesn't believe that Zhang Ji, a loyal guard who once risked his life to fight for him and Jingnu to escape for their lives, it's just that nearly seven years have passed since his Zhao family was martyred, and he can't ensure that Zhang Ji is still loyal to his family.

In the name of 'Zhou Hu', it took him nearly seven years to build the current camp, how could he allow it to be destroyed by a moment of negligence?

After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Yu was ready to say to Zhang Jitao: "It turned out to be the messenger of Jiangdong Yishi...... Zhou heard that Jiangdong Yishi has been in the limelight recently, and even tiger generals such as Han Yanna, one of the five tigers of Chenmen, have been repeatedly defeated in the hands of Jiangdong Yishi......"

"This Zhou Tiger ......"

Just as Zhao Yu was asking, Zhang Ji also secretly observed the other party.

It's a pity that Zhou Hu on the other side, as well as another person who doesn't know who it is, all wore a tiger stripe mask on their faces, making it impossible for Zhang Ji to see the faces of these two people clearly.

But for some reason, Zhou Hu's gesture made him feel a little absurd and familiar.

『…… Could it be that I've seen this tiger before?'

Zhang Ji was very surprised, but he was not impressed.

Surprised, he replied as calmly as Zhao Yu remembered: "Leader Zhou has a good reputation. I didn't expect that the leader of Zhou also heard of my Jiangdong Yishi......"

"Haha. Of course, Zhou will also pay attention to the world's major events. …… As far as Zhou knows, it is precisely because of the uprising in Jiangdong that there is now a situation where all kinds of righteous teachers have risen one after another......" Zhao Yu smiled, and then quietly probed: "By the way, I don't know when Brother Zhang Ji arrived here?" Is there anything new to tell Zhou? ”

Zhang Ji felt very strange, but he still said truthfully: "Zhang only arrived today, as for the matter of Jiangdong, it is too involved, please forgive me for the inconvenience." ”

"Only here today?" So......

Zhao Yu's heart moved slightly, and he suddenly had an idea in his heart.

He shook his head in mock regret: "That's really a pity......"

After that, he turned his head to look at Guan Shuo and Chen Miao, and said with a smile: "Let the two Qu Shuai wait for a long time." ”

In fact, Guan Shuo and Chen Miao were already impatient, but it was just not good to rudely interrupt the conversation between Zhao Yu and Zhang Ji.

After all, they didn't want to offend the leader of the black tiger thieves in front of them, nor did they want to be rude in front of Zhang Ji, the envoy of Jiangdong.

Hearing Zhao Yu's words at this time, Chen Miao waved his hand very generously.

Compared with Chen Miao's generosity, Guan Shuo didn't have a good face towards Zhao Yu, he said coldly: "Zhou Hu, tell me what you mean." ”

Zhao Yu spread his hands and said with a smile: "Zhou's intention is very simple, it is nothing more than to invite two ...... Send back those who have escaped. ”

"No way!"

Guan Shuo snorted heavily and said coldly: "What are your ideas, I know very well......"

From the side, Chen Miao also shook his head and said: "If it doesn't involve us, Guan Shuai and I can agree to Leader Zhou's conditions." But I think Chief Zhou also knows how serious the impact it will have on my righteous master if we return those subordinates. …… Zhou Hu, don't regard our concession as cowardice. I have heard that you have organized the captured soldiers of my righteous division as 'subordinate soldiers' and opened up a lot of new fields in your county, and I think you also attach great importance to this year's harvest. If these farmlands were destroyed by war again this year, I think you would feel sorry too, right? ”

"It's worthy of Chen Shuai, much smarter than the guy next to him who can only get angry......

Zhao Yu smiled, spread his hands and asked, "How are the two of you going to deal with those deserters?" ”

Guan Shuo sneered and said tentatively: "The righteous master will accept them, after all, they were the heroic soldiers of my righteous master before......

"Oh."

Zhao Yu was not angry, and said with a chuckle: "Since this is the case, I will ask the people of Kunyang to move to Runan and Xiangcheng counties......"

Of course, Guan Shuo could hear the threat, and snorted coldly: "You don't want those newly cultivated farmlands?" ”

Zhao Yu chuckled twice, and said gloomily: "To grow grain in the field, you also have to weed, remove insects, water, and fertilize, how can you borrow grain directly to save effort?" …… If you don't give it, I'll grab it! ”

Guan Shuo was dizzy, and said angrily: "You are a bandit!" ”

Zhao Yu laughed: "Zhou was originally a thief and a robber, as everyone knows, grabbing grain is just a return to his duty." ”

"What a duty!"

Guan Shuo slapped the table and was furious.

From the side, Huang Yun and Zhang Ji looked at each other and watched the quarrel between the two sides dumbfounded.

They had never heard of such a ferocious local bandit force that even a righteous master dared to rob ......

You must know that he is the most powerful force today.

Suddenly, Zhang Ji noticed that the person next to Zhou Hu, who was also wearing a tiger stripe mask, seemed to be looking at him intently.

『……』

Those eyes, which were not malicious, made him faintly feel a little familiar.

It's as if somewhere have you seen it before.
