On March 22, Yang Tong impatiently led 300 bandits to attack Chen Zu's cottage.

In this battle, the Black Tiger Village can be said to be the best of the best, not only Liu Heimu, Zhang Feng, Chu Jiao and other seven defectors to the sect owner all came out, but even Chen Mo and Wang Qing were also in the team.

Zhao Yu suspected that Yang Tong must have made some deals with Chen Mo and Wang Qing in private, otherwise, Chen Mo and Wang Qing should not have responded to Yang Tong like this.

After all, no one is a fool, the leaders of the Black Tiger Village, can't they see that Chen Zu and his gang were forced out by Yang Tong to loot the caravan?

Of course they knew, but they didn't say anything.

is the so-called dead friend of the dead and the poor is not dead, Chen Zu has no friendship with them, they can use it for Chen Zu to provoke Yang Tong unhappy?

As long as he is not blind, who would not see that Yang Tong clearly wants to unify the eastern part of Yingshan and become the real tiger of Yingshan?

Otherwise, how could Yang Tong not even give Chen Zu a chance to explain and admit his mistakes, so he was impatient to bring people to ask for it?

"It's a pity......

In this regard, Zhao Yu secretly regretted it.

Some people may find it strange, since Zhao Yu admires Chen Zu so much, why did he help Yang Tong eradicate Chen Zu and his gang?

Wouldn't it be better to keep Chen Zu first, and wait until Zhao Yu replaces Yang Tong, and then find a way to recruit Chen Zu?

What's more, why did Zhao Yu have to wait for Yang Tong to take Yang Tong's place after he annexed the rest of Yingshan?

Can't he replace Yang Tong first, and then do something to the rest of the cottages?

The answer is...... Not really.

Because Zhao Yu's age is a hard injury, even now, he is only thirteen years old, replacing Yang Tong at his age, how many people in the village will agree?

Will this group of unruly bandits be willing to obey the orders of a teenage child? Even if this little hairy boy does have superior wisdom.

Therefore, there will inevitably be a split within the Black Tiger Village at that time, and there is no doubt that some people will choose to leave.

If there were still other large-scale cottages in the eastern part of Yingshan at that time, then there would be one more thing to worry about - would the other cottages try to annex him when the Black Tiger Village was weak?

After all, the location of the Black Tiger Village is quite good, and the bottom of the mountain is the intersection of Rukun and Xiangkun roads.

Considering this, instead of marrying someone at that time, it is better to help Yang Tong eradicate several other cottages in the eastern part of Yingshan first, so that the Black Tiger Village will become the only bandit in the eastern part of Yingshan.

In this way, even if there is another split within the Black Tiger Village at that time, it will not be taken advantage of by other bandits.

Helping Yang Tong get rid of Chen Zu is precisely this reason - although Zhao Yu does appreciate Chen Zu very much, yes, but the problem is that Chen Zu doesn't know, take a step back and say, even if Chen Zu knows, is he willing to defect to Zhao Yu and obey the orders of a teenage child?

According to common sense, as long as Zhao Yu managed to get rid of Yang Tong and take Yang Tong's place and caused a split within the Black Tiger Village, Chen Zu would definitely take the opportunity to annex it.

Therefore, even if it is appreciation or regret, Zhao Yu can only abandon Chen Zu and put an end to all possibilities that will destroy his plan.

Of course, although he had accepted the plan to 'give up Chen Zu' in his heart, Zhao Yu subjectively wanted to try it and see if he could spare Chen Zu's life.

After all, it is really rare to find a few really capable people in the category of bandits.

Therefore, he took the initiative to ask Yang Tong, hoping to follow him to crusade against Chen Zu and his gang.

Yang Tong didn't care about this, and agreed casually.

In the early morning of March 23, Yang Tong led the crowd to the area of Chen Zu's cottage.

However, Chen Zu had already taken precautions.

He is not a fool, he sent people to the Black Tiger Village six times to urge, but the Black Tiger Village ignored him and deliberately owed the two points of interest that belonged to his cottage, and Chen Zu guessed that Yang Tong was trying to force him to loot the caravan and break the agreement.

Some people may say, since Chen Zu guessed Yang Tong's sinister intentions, why did he still get hit?

The reason is that there is no way.

Because the cottage survives by robbing the village and plundering the past caravans, but robbing the village is like harvesting the wheat in the field, it will be gone after one harvest, and those villages that have been robbed will take a long time to recover, but the caravans in the past are different, after one group of caravans has been robbed, there will be the next batch, so robbing the past caravans is the foundation of a cottage.

And now, because of the agreement with the Black Tiger Village, Chen Zu and his gang can neither rob those caravans, but the Black Tiger Village will not return the two cents of profits that belong to them, so the people under Chen Zu's hands will definitely be in trouble.

Instead of watching the man-made rebellion under his hands, it is better to have a real fight with Black Tiger Village.

With this in mind, Chen Zu was angry and led people to rob the caravan under the mountain, igniting the war between the two cottages.

Sure enough, two days after Chen Zu's side finished robbing a caravan, Yang Tong took hundreds of bandits to kill them violently, and did not give Chen Zu the slightest chance to explain or admit his mistakes, and counted the crimes of the laggards in front of the public as soon as he arrived.

It's ridiculous!

This Yang Tong is a thief, and he is actually qualified to convict another group of thieves?

Chen Zu, who was extremely angry, interrupted Yang Tong's words to count his crimes in public, and scolded unceremoniously: "Yang Tong, you don't put gold on your own face, no one knows, it's not that I broke the rules, but you forced me to break the rules!" You despicable and shameless person, I shouldn't have helped you in the first place, so that today I was bitten by you. …… Beasts are not as good as animals! ”

After that, he scolded Liu Heimu, Zhang Feng, Chu Jiao and other seven village owners, and scolded the seven village owners who did not dare to squeak.

After all, they also understand that when this matter is investigated, it is actually their side that is at fault, but who made them a part of the Black Tiger Village now?

With Yang Tong's order, the bandits of the Black Tiger Village launched an offensive against Chen Zu's cottage.

In today's Runan area, Chen Zu and his gang are well-known bandits, with a population of more than 200, nearly eighty percent of whom are young and strong bandits, and they can also be called the hegemonic side, but unfortunately, the Black Tiger Village is a nine-in-one cottage, with one enemy and nine, Chen Zu and his gang can temporarily block the offensive of the Black Tiger Village is already very remarkable, how to talk about defeating the latter?

On the same day, the people of the Black Tiger Village and Chen Zu and his gang fought fiercely for an hour, and Chen Zu and his gang barely repelled the former's two attacks, but in the end it was still inevitable that they were killed by the people of the Black Tiger Village.

Seeing this, the bandits under Chen Zu surrendered on their knees, but Chen Zu and his henchmen were still fighting for their lives.

Seeing Chen Zu's desperate appearance, Chen Mo and Wang Qing put away their weapons one after another, obviously they also admired Chen Zu and intended to let Chen Zu go, so that Chen Zu would have a chance to escape.

The rest of Zhang Feng, Wu Sheng and others also deliberately avoided Chen Zu, and they didn't know if it was out of shame.

However, Chen Zu didn't know that someone released water on him, and he was bent on bringing someone to kill him and slaughtered Yang Tong.

Seeing that Yang Tong's face was becoming more and more impatient, Zhao Yu quietly summoned Niu Heng, hoping that Niu Heng would come forward to capture Chen Zu alive.

Niu Heng is an upright and reckless man, and his good brother Zhou Hu asked him to capture Chen Zu alive, so he was captured.

So he didn't even take a weapon, and rushed towards Chen Zu with a pair of fists.

However, before he could make a move, Chu Jiao's righteous son Chu Yan killed in front of Chen Zu, saw the latter's flaw, and knocked Chen Zu's weapon away with a sword, and then put the sharp blade on Chen Zu's neck.

Chen Zu was just about to struggle, but at this time, he heard Chu Yan shout in a deep voice: "Don't act rashly!" If it weren't for my father's order that I don't hurt you, how would you be alive at this time? ”

『……』

Hearing this, Chen Zu's face flashed with a pale color, and finally sighed.

Seeing this scene from afar, Chu Jiao stroked his beard and nodded slightly.

Suddenly, as if he had sensed something, he turned his head and found that Zhao Yu, who was standing beside Yang Tong, was staring at him.

"Speaking of which...... He is not needed for today's affairs, so what is this boy going to do?'

Thinking secretly in his heart, Chu Jiao smiled at Zhao Yu.

“……”

Zhao Yu was stunned and smiled.

Chen Zu was captured by Chu Yan, and the bandits who were still fighting before no longer resisted and surrendered one after another.

At this time, Chu Yan held Chen Zu hostage and walked towards Yang Tong.

Zhao Yu turned his head to glance at Yang Tong, and seeing that Yang Tong was still gloomy, he quietly whispered a compliment: "Congratulations to the master of Dazhai, after today, you will be the real tiger of Yingshan!" ”

Hearing this, Yang Tong was slightly stunned, and his face couldn't help but show a little joy.

At this time, Chu Yan had already brought Chen Zu to Yang Tong.

Probably because of Zhao Yu's compliment, Yang Tong was in a good mood at the moment, and asked Chen Zu with a sneer: "Chen Zu, can you admit your mistakes now?" …… If you are willing to admit your mistakes and obey me, I can spare your life. ”

"Hmph." Chen Zu snorted coldly and said mockingly: "Sure enough, you are your purpose, you just want this Yingshan surname Yang ......"

As he spoke, he glanced around at the people around him, and mocked: "It's ridiculous that some faceless and skinless guys are willing to follow your surname Yang ......."

Hearing this, it seemed that Zhang Feng, Wu Sheng, Liu Mao and others couldn't hold their faces and spit on them.

At this time, I heard Yang Tong ask in a stunned voice: "Don't talk nonsense!" Willing or unwilling? ”

"I don't want to! Kill me. Chen Zu refused indifferently.

Seeing this, a bit of fierceness flashed in Yang Tong's eyes.

However, at this moment, Zhao Yu suddenly said to Yang Tong: "In the end, it is indeed our persecution, although everyone does not say it, most of them know in their hearts that it is because of this that they intend to let Chen Zu go, if the master of Dazhai kills him, I am afraid that it will damage benevolence and righteousness, which is not conducive to the future." Moreover, if Chen Zu is killed, his people will definitely hate the lord of Dazhai deeply, and if they hold a grudge, they will wait for an opportunity to retaliate in the future, and they may cause trouble. In my opinion, this person is indeed a talent, it is a pity to kill it, try to make him return to obedience and serve the lord of the village, this is the best policy. …… At the moment, he is angry in his heart, and naturally he is unwilling to give in, so it is better to detain him in the village and lock him up for a year and a half, and when he is angry, he will inevitably give in. ”

"You promise?" Yang Tonghu asked.

Zhao Yu nodded: "I will definitely be able to persuade him for the master of Dazhai." ”

Seeing Zhao Yu's confident face, Yang Tong nodded thoughtfully, the fierceness in his eyes gradually receded, and he waved his hand and said, "Come on, take him back to the village and imprison him!" ”

Hearing this, everyone present was stunned, and glanced at Zhao Yu thoughtfully.

Even Chen Zu, who had closed his eyes and was waiting for death, looked at Zhao Yu with a puzzled expression, not understanding why Zhao Yu wanted to intercede for him.

"This kid...... Could it be that he is here to protect Chen Zu? But why?'

In the distance, Chu Jiao stroked his beard, thoughtful.
