"PS: I'm a little late, I'm sorry."

———— the following text————

As soon as Yang Tong dies, naturally some people will jump out and want to compete for the position, which is a matter of course.

But everyone guessed the beginning, but not the end, everyone thought that the seat of the owner of the village would fall on the heads of Guo Da, Wang Qing, and Liu Heimu, who would have thought that a teenager suddenly jumped out to stir up the situation and snatched the seat of the owner of the village.

Except for Wang Qing, who left angrily, if you want to ask who is the most difficult to accept this, of course...... It can't be a bull cross.

"Ah Hu, you have become a big master, you have to take care of us in the future."

At the moment when Chu Jiao, Zhang Feng, and Ma Hong have already opened their mouths to call 'Zhou Zhai Master', Niu Heng still calls Zhao Yu in his original tone, as if he did not realize the change in the situation, and still regarded Zhao Yu as the original little brother.

The real most difficult to accept is Guo Da.

Because of Zhao Yu's disturbance, the meeting to elect the owner of the village ended hastily.

Immediately, Chu Jiao took the lead in taking the confused Yizi Chu Yan to celebrate Zhao Yu, Zhang Feng and Ma Hong followed closely behind, although Chen Zu looked slow, but in a sense, he was the first person to defect to Zhao Yu, plus the unknown Niu Heng, these people are obviously usable.

Seeing Chu Jiao, Chu Yan, Chen Zu, Zhang Feng, Ma Hong, and Niu Heng surrounding Zhao Yu, Chen Mo hesitated, and Liu Heimu left with jealousy and unwillingness.

Subsequently, Chen Mo also left.

It can be seen from Chen Mo's gaze at Zhao Yu before leaving, Chen Mo must have a lot of things he wants to ask Zhao Yu, but obviously now is not the time.

Only Guo Da, neither to go nor to stay, looked at Zhao Yu and the others in the distance silently, until Niu Heng, who was confused about the whole thing, called him: "Guo Da, what are you still sitting there doing?" Ah Hu has become the owner of the village, let's celebrate. ”

"I congratulate you on being a ghost!"

Guo Da cursed in his heart, and even noticed that he turned his gaze to his side.

Although Zhao Yu still had a smile on his face that made Guo Da feel familiar at this time, for some reason, Guo Da felt unusually strange.

After thinking for a while, Guo Da stood up and walked towards Zhao Yu, and when he walked in front of the latter, he opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to call Zhao Yu.

Is it called Ah Hu like he used to be?

Or, like Chu Jiao, Zhang Feng, Ma Hong, and Chen Zu, they were renamed Dazhai masters?

Zhao Yu obviously saw through Guo Da's entanglement at the moment, gave a step and said with a chuckle: "Brother Guo Da, if you also came to congratulate me, you would be too late." ”

Zhao Yu's relaxed tone, as well as the title that he still calls himself 'Guo Da's big brother', made Guo Da feel a little better in his heart.

However, it was only slightly better.

Under the watchful eyes of Chu Jiao, Chen Zu, Zhang Feng, and Ma Hong, intentionally or unintentionally, Guo Dagan laughed twice, and then said solemnly: "Ah Hu, I want to talk to you alone." ”

Zhao Yu was not surprised by Guo Da's request, and he had no intention of refusing.

Immediately, he nodded, and immediately looked at Chu Jiao, Chen Zu, Zhang Feng, Ma Hong, and Niu Heng.

Chu Jiao, Zhang Feng, and Ma Hong all knew each other, and Chu Jiao immediately said: "I just went to see the movements of the officers and soldiers." ”

Zhang Feng and Ma Hong also echoed casually.

Only Niu Heng was curious about what Guo Da wanted to talk to Zhao Yu alone, and said to Guo Da dissatisfiedly: "Guo Da, if you have anything to say, just say it, why bother...... Chen Zu, what are you pulling me for? ”

"Manniu, you just come with me." Chen Zu smiled and pulled away Niu Heng, who couldn't understand the situation the most, for Zhao Yu.

At this time, Guo Da also looked at Zhao Yu and ordered: "Chen Cai, you also go out and guard the Juyi Hall, and no one is allowed to approach and eavesdrop, including yourself." ”

"Yes, Boss." Chen Cai nodded, and then glanced at Zhao Yu with a complicated expression, and then turned around and left with the rest of his companions.

Hearing Guo Da's command, Chu Jiao and Chen Zu, who had already walked to the vicinity of the hall gate, stopped and looked back at Zhao Yu, and saw that Zhao Yu was still smiling, they glanced at each other, and then walked out of this hall.

At this time, only Zhao Yu and Guo Da were left in this hall.

"Fur ......"

After staring at Zhao Yu for a long time, Guo Da let out a long breath, then looked at Zhao Yu and nodded again and again: "Zhou Hu, the people in the village have underestimated you, who would have thought that you are so young and have such ambitions?" If you don't mind, can you tell me when you started thinking about the position of boss? ”

As soon as he heard Guo Da call himself, Zhao Yu vaguely guessed a little, but he didn't mind, and said with a smile: "Brother Guo Da's words, I don't understand ...... very much."

"Don't understand?"

Guo Da's face sank, and he lowered his voice and said, "You are very smart, but others are not stupid!" I see very clearly that your competition for the position of the owner of the village today is definitely not your whim! You've been preparing for a long time! You don't have to be cunning, you just kept saying that you admired Chen Mo and Wang Qing, so you used to secretly protect the two, I thought it was strange at the time, but I never thought that you were preparing for this matter at that time. …… And Chen Zu, you persuaded the boss that day to leave Chen Zu alive, and promised that he would definitely change his mind and go to my Black Tiger Village in the future. Now, Chen Zu has indeed defected to my Black Tiger Village, but it is you Zhou Hu who he has defected to! I'm curious what exactly did you exchange for Chen Zu's allegiance? ”

Speaking of this, his expression became more and more gloomy, and he shouted in a low voice: "Say! You deliberately let Chen Zu go last night, what did you tell him to do?! ”

Faced with Guo Da's questioning, Zhao Yu was not surprised.

As early as when he released Chen Zu, he expected that he would inevitably be questioned by Guo Da afterwards, and it was for this reason that he didn't bother to let Chen Zu go out over the wall, and walked out directly with Chen Zu from the main gate of the main village.

"What does Brother Guo Da think?" Zhao Yu asked rhetorically.

“……”

Guo Da opened his mouth, a few hints of disbelief flashed on his face, and he muttered, "You...... You helped him kill the boss, no, it can't be, it was just ...... last night"

Speaking of this, he seemed to have thought of something, looked at Zhao Yu again in horror, and asked in disbelief: "You had long expected that the boss would meet Ishihara's group of officers and soldiers last night?" ”

This question is huge, Zhao Yu didn't answer it positively, just smiled, and took it as a tacit.

Seeing Zhao Yu's reaction, Guo Da's heart was shocked, and he was full of anger, so he immediately pulled out the sword at his waist, put the blade on Zhao Yu's shoulder, and said through gritted teeth: "It turned out that you designed to kill the boss." ”

Turning his head to look at the blade on his neck, Zhao Yu was not afraid at all, and asked with a smile: "Brother Guo Da, what are you doing here?" ”

"Don't call me big brother, I don't have a brother like you!" Guo Da reprimanded angrily.

Hearing this, the smile on Zhao Yu's face gradually retracted, and he looked at Guo Da calmly: "Since that's the case...... Okay. So, Guo Da, what do you want to do? ”

Hearing Zhao Yu call his name, Guo Da was shocked, and immediately laughed and said, "Hahaha, finally the original form is revealed...... Yes, yes, you don't need me now, you have Chen Zu, you have Chu Jiao, and even Chen Mo secretly helps you, which of these three is not as good as me Guo Da? Hahaha...... Good boy, good boy, the whole cottage people have been played around by you......"

Seeing that Guo Da was trembling with anger, Zhao Yu didn't want to overstimulate him, shook his head and said: "No, among the people in the village, what I value the most is you, there are so many people in the village, only you have the ability to manage hundreds of people and support the entire cottage...... Maybe Chu Jiao and Chen Zu can do the same, but I don't really trust them very much......"

“……”

Guo Da was stunned when he heard this, and then said angrily: "You don't come to bluff me!" You are courting me just to take advantage of me. ”

Zhao Yu nodded and admitted: "Yes, at first, I showed favor to you, and I did have the intention of taking advantage of you, but then I gradually realized your talent, so I tried every means to separate the relationship between you and Yang Tong...... You haven't had time to ask about this, have you? It's okay, let me tell you first, when Chen Mo and Wang Qing noticed about Ma Gai, I asked you to hide Yang Tong, that's right, I did it on purpose, I guessed that with Chen Mo and Wang Qing's character, as long as they are suppressed by Yang Tong, then they will inevitably use this matter to blackmail Yang Tong, you conceal Yang Tong in advance, Yang Tong will inevitably be angry with you afterwards, so that it will be convenient for me to separate you and Yang Tong......"

"......" Guo Da was stunned, and when he wanted to express the anger in his heart, he heard Zhao Yu say again: "But people are not grass and trees, how can they be ruthless?" On the night of Chen Zu's Wu Jin rebellion, Ah Jing and I were seriously injured, and the injuries were under the flesh and skin, you personally gave me a massage, for several days, each time for more than an hour, and treated my own brother like this, although I was in great pain at that time, and you laughed at me, but I was very grateful to you...... Therefore, in this village, I will not frame you if I frame anyone, because you are my big brother Guo Da, you were before, you are, and you will be in the future. ”

“……”

Listening to Zhao Yu's sincere words, Guo Da was quite moved.

As Zhao Yu said, Guo Da treats Zhao Yu well, like a younger brother, but it is precisely like this that Zhao Yu's 'betrayal' is the most unbearable for Guo Da.

Guo Da is attacking Zhao Yu today, is it because Zhao Yu wants to be the owner of the village?

Of course not, because Guo Da doesn't actually have much ambition for that position.

The reason why he evaluates this way is because he wants to be, but he also knows that he is not suitable, when there is nothing to do inside and outside the cottage, he should be the owner of the big village and try it, then there must be no problem, but once it comes to a big problem, his indecision and hesitation will be exposed.

The reason why he competed with Wang Qing and Liu Heimu for the position of the owner of the village today was purely because he didn't want Wang Qing and Liu Heimu to sit in that position.

Wang Qing, a person who was once suppressed by Yang Tong and Guo Da in every way; Liu Heimu is a cunning and insidious real villain, let these two people become the owners of the big village, Guo Dasheng is afraid that they will not have a good life in the future.

From this point of view, Zhao Yu became the owner of the big village, in fact, Guo Da is acceptable, after all, he is his brother - he just kept silent in the meeting, which is the reason.

What he really couldn't accept was that he suddenly realized that he was being used by Zhao Yu.

was used and betrayed by someone he trusted, like his own brother, it is not difficult to imagine how angry Guo Da is in his heart.

In contrast, he vaguely realized that Zhao Yu killed Yang Tong in order to seize the position of the lord of the Great Village, which was secondary.

But now when he heard Zhao Yu's heart-to-heart words, especially the sentence "Because you are my big brother Guo Da", "I was, I am, and I will be in the future", most of the resentment in his heart suddenly disappeared.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu took the opportunity to persuade again: "Put down the sword, Brother Guo Da, if you want to talk, let's put down the sword and talk about it." ”

Guo Da looked at Zhao Yu hesitantly.

Although most of the resentment in his heart was eliminated by Zhao Yu's heart-touching words, the remaining anger was still there, and he said with a straight face: "Hmph, the words are nice, who knows if it's true or not?" ”

Zhao Yu and Guo Da have been together for so long, so they are naturally familiar with Guo Da, shook his head when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Brother Guo Da, first of all, you must know that I have never had the idea of harming you, Chen Mo, Wang Qing, Chu Jiao, Chen Zu, including Brother Niu Heng, these people are all secretly protected by me, so I asked them to go to feint to attack the main village of officers and soldiers, because there is the least danger over there, and where do I put you?" I put you in the main village, didn't I? I've always put you in the safest place, right? ”

“……”

Guo Da glanced at Zhao Yu in disbelief and did not refute, after all, the facts were indeed as Zhao Yu said.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu persuaded again: "I know that Brother Guo Da is angry in his heart, because I didn't discuss with you in advance, and I also believe that if I tell Brother Guo Da that I want to be the master of the village, Brother Guo Da will agree." …… But how can I tell you about this beforehand? ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at Guo Da and said in a low voice: "If you can, I hope that Brother Guo Da will never know that I set up a plan to murder Yang Tong, firstly, to avoid the guilt of Brother Guo Da, and secondly, I don't want Brother Guo Da to be defensive of me, after all, in this village, except for Ah Jing, Brother Guo Da is my closest person......

“……”

Guo Da opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu persuaded again: "I know that Brother Guo Da must have a lot to ask at this time, so let's sit down and talk slowly." ”

As he spoke, he slowly raised his hand to push away the blade of the sword that was on his neck, and immediately reached out to take the sword in Guo Da's hand.

In this process, Guo Da hesitated, but in the end, he still let Zhao Yu take the sword.

And this also means that most of the resentment in his heart has been eliminated.

Under the pull of Zhao Yu, Guo Da reluctantly sat down, and the position was very coincidental, and the two of them sat in the seat that originally belonged to Yang Tong.

After the two sat down face to face, Guo Da frowned and looked at Zhao Yu, and suddenly asked, "Ah Hu, when did you start thinking about the position of the boss?" ”

Hearing that familiar title, Zhao Yu knew that Guo Da's anger was almost gone, so he decided to tell the truth and restore Guo Da's trust in him.

"When I first went up the mountain."

"At the beginning, when you go up the mountain?" Guo Da's eyes widened in shock.

He originally thought that Zhao Yu was worried about the position of the owner of the village, maybe after being monitored by Yang Tong, but he never expected that Zhao Yu already had that idea when he first went up the mountain.

Looking at Guo Da's shocked appearance, Zhao Yu chuckled and said, "Yes, when I first went up the mountain, I had this idea." …… To be precise, it was because I wanted to try that idea that I decided to stay in the cottage later, otherwise I would have fled from the cottage with Ah Jing at the beginning of spring. ”

Guo Da opened his mouth and asked, "Then you went to the boss at that time......

"Yes." Zhao Yu nodded: "Just to replace it." ”

"Help the boss annex the rest of Yingshan'......"

"It's for today, too."

Guo Da asked many questions in a row, and Zhao Yu told the truth, and the more he knew the truth, the more shocked Guo Da became.

He couldn't imagine that the teenage boy in front of him had spent a whole year and a half secretly preparing for the purpose of seizing this cottage today.

He shook his head and muttered, "I thought you were just smart, but I didn't expect ......"

If Chu Jiao only guessed a few points before, he was shocked into a cold sweat, and at this moment, Guo Da was shocked when he heard Zhao Yu's original local disclosure of the preparations for the past year and a half.

Who would dare to imagine?

A teenage kid deliberately infiltrated a den of bandits, in order to recover the bandits for his own use?

And the incredible thing is that it really did it.

It's simply ...... Appalling!

No matter what other people think, Guo Da was really frightened by Zhao Yu, and his scalp was numb by Zhao Yu's preparations to seize the throne.

"This kid...... It's horrible.'"

Guo Da looked at Zhao Yu's gaze, and a little fear flashed.

He had never met such a scheming child, no, even an adult, not as terrible as this kid.

At this time, Zhao Yu spread his hands and said: "I have truthfully informed Brother Guo Da of everything, and I have not concealed anything, what does Brother Guo Da think about this?" ”

"What do you think about this?"

Guo Da raised his head and glanced at Zhao Yu, and snorted coldly: "I learned that you separated the boss from me and Niu Heng, and designed to kill him, I can't wait to kill you with a sword......

Guo Da's sword was taken by Zhao Yu, Zhao Yu naturally would not be frightened by Guo Da's words, and shirked when he heard the words: "Brother Guo Da, a slap can't make a sound, if Yang Tong really regards you and Brother Niu Heng as confidants and trusts him very much, then no matter how I get separated, it won't play a role, right?" In the final analysis, Yang Tong's trust in the two of you is nothing more than that, do you remember Wang Qing who threatened Yang Tong with Ma Gai? Yang Tong called you out to ask, splitting your head and covering your face is an angry scolding, of course, I am responsible for this matter, it is indeed me who did it on purpose, but is Yang Tong okay? He doesn't even give you a chance to explain! Is this called trust? ”

“……”

Guo Da's nose spewed out a wisp of turbid air, and his voice was deep and long.

Yang Tong's attitude that day was indeed a thorn in Guo Da's heart, and later, whether Yang Tong gradually distrusted Guo Da, or Guo Da gradually alienated Yang Tong, it really started from this incident.

Zhao Yu is certainly responsible for this, but Yang Tong ......

I have to say that Yang Tong's attitude that day really made Guo Da quite cold.

At this time, Zhao Yu struck while the iron was hot and said bewildermently: "Don't even give a chance to explain, is that called trust?" If that's trust, then trust is too fragile. Brother Guo Da doesn't want to blame me for dividing the two of you, in fact, even without me, Yang Tong's so-called trust in you and Big Brother Niu Heng is too fragile. …… Liu Heimu is an example. In order to take Liu Heimu as an example and win over Chu Jiao, Zhang Feng, Ma Hong and others, Yang Tong could even ask Brother Niu Heng to give up his seat to Liu Heimu. ”

“……”

Guo Da glanced at Zhao Yu and remained silent.

But he knew in his heart that this incident made Niu Heng very angry, so that he gradually distanced himself from Yang Tong, and turned to Guo Da with him, and hugged the kid in front of him to resist the pressure brought by the 'defection faction' such as Liu Heimu, Chu Jiao, and Zhang Feng.

Although Guo Da guessed that there must be Zhao Yu as a bad kid, as this kid said, if it weren't for Yang Tong's 'cooperation', how could the relationship between the three of them plummet?

Seeing that Guo Da was silent, Zhao Yu continued to spare no effort to persuade Guo Da: "I didn't want Brother Guo Da to know the truth before, on the one hand, I didn't want Brother Guo Da to treat me as a jackal, tiger and leopard, and gradually alienated, on the other hand, I didn't want Brother Guo Da to feel any guilt about Yang Tong, in my opinion, there is no need at all." …… is different from Brother Guo Da and Brother Niu Heng, you two are moral and affectionate, but Yang Tong or Liu Heimu is good, but they are both profit-seeking villains, you see Yang Tong and Liu Heimu, some time ago, they called brothers and sisters, but when it came to the moment of crisis, Liu Heimu didn't run for his life? Do you think it's just Liu Heimu's despicable? No, it's just that Yang Tong didn't find a chance, if he had the opportunity, he would definitely leave everyone and run away, fleeing faster than anyone else, it was because I knew his character, so I wanted to use a miserable victory in Xiangcun to stabilize him, so that he felt that he could win and not run away in advance. …… I know that Brother Guo Da still has some old feelings for Yang Tong, and I want to take revenge on Yang, but I really don't want Brother Guo Da to point his sword at me, I think that Brother Guo Da's friendship with me is far more stable than that between you and Yang Tong, if Brother Guo Da is killed one day, I will definitely try my best to rescue. ”

Listening to Zhao Yu's words, Guo Da was in a trance, and a slightly strange look appeared on his face.

It's not that he doesn't believe Zhao Yu's promise, he just thinks that Zhao Yu 'overestimates' him.

Guo Da remembered very well that when he saw the officers and soldiers carrying Yang Tong's head with spears today, his first reaction was: It's over, the people in the village are going to be confused.

Even if he raised his sword and glared at Zhao Yu angrily, he was only resentful that Zhao Yu, the little brother he regarded as a younger brother, actually used him and betrayed him.

As for informing Yang of the vengeance......

Well, he really didn't think about it.

Although he did say before, what would he say that he would like to kill Zhao Yu with a sword, but that was purely angry words, the sword was finally taken by Zhao Yu, if he really had this idea, Zhao Yu A child could take the sword from his hand?

couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed Guo Da suddenly.

He coughed and quietly diverted the subject: "Leave aside the other things, I still want to know one more thing......"

As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Yu and asked in a deep voice: "Ah Hu, you are definitely not from an ordinary family, who are you?" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yu, who had just looked at him, flashed a little hesitation on his face.

"Can't tell?" Guo Dahu asked suspiciously.

Zhao Yu thought for a moment, then suddenly looked at Guo Da Zhengse and said, "I don't want to deceive Brother Guo Da, but my background will bring me death." But if Brother Guo Da can promise to keep secrets, I can tell Brother Guo Da in exchange for Brother Guo Da's trust. …… This secret is known to only two people in this world. ”

"Ask about your origin, and you can still be involved in the scourge of killing? This kid isn't bluffing me, is he?'

Seeing Zhao Yu's solemn expression, Guo Da was both surprised and curious, and immediately swore: "I can swear to the sky." ”

"That's not necessary, I can trust Brother Guo Da."

As he spoke, Zhao Yu got up and approached Guo Da and whispered a few words in the latter's ear.

Suddenly, Guo Da's face showed a look of horror, his eyes widened and he looked at Zhao Yu in disbelief, and he was speechless in shock: "You...... You ......"

Seeing this, Zhao Yu smiled and asked, "With this secret, in exchange for Brother Guo Da's trust in me again, is it enough for you and my brother to return to the same as before?" ”

Guo Da's face was full of shock, nodded slightly, and immediately stepped forward and patted Zhao Yu's arm.

"Enough ......"

Zhou Hu, that is, Zhao Yu, the second son of the Marquis of Luyang Township, this secret that only he and Jingnu know in this world, is naturally enough to exchange Guo Da's trust in Zhao Yu.

As for the secret itself, Guo Da actually doesn't care at all - he is a thief, where can his identity be innocent?

What he values is trust, and Yang Tong can't give him the trust.
