The next day, when Zhao Yu woke up from his sleep and opened his eyes, he found that Jingnu was still sleeping.

Pretending to be asleep, to be exact.

Her slightly trembling eyelashes and her gradually reddening face could be seen clearly by Zhao Yu.

This is not to blame Jing Nu, after all, she basically wakes up early every day, but she has nothing to do, so she simply continued to lie on the grass bunk, quietly looking at Zhao Yu who was sleeping at the time, and reverie.

After all, the relationship between the two is indeed a bit special.

Every time Zhao Yu showed all kinds of signs of imminent awakening, Jingnu would close her eyes in a panic to avoid the embarrassment when her eyes met.

Seriously, the kind of embarrassment that can make Jingnu's ears turn red is enough for her to remember vividly.

"Stop pretending, get up."

Pinched Jingnu's nose, Zhao Yu took the lead in turning over and getting off the bed, standing on the flat ground and stretching.

At this time, behind him, Jing Nu sat up on the bed with a confused expression, stretched out her hand and rubbed her eyes, as if she had just woken up but was not yet awake.

However, looking at the clear gaze when she secretly glanced at Zhao Yu, and the sly smile on her face as if a little weasel had stolen a chicken, it still revealed the fact that she had already woken up.

"What's wrong?"

As if sensing Jingnu's abnormality, when Zhao Yu turned around in confusion, he saw Jingnu holding back a smile and lowering her head.

Zhao Yu, who was conscious, reached out and touched his face, only to find that the face on the left side of his mouth, including his chin, was slimy.

Seeing Zhao Yu speechlessly wipe the saliva from the side of her face with her cuffs, Jingnu couldn't help laughing.

She saw Zhao Yu sleeping on her stomach and drooling again today, and she worked very hard to wake up the young master.

After a while, Xu Fen came over and knocked on the door and started Zhao Yu and Jingnu's morning exercise today.

Although they moved from the house to this side, and even became Yang Tong's right-hand man, Zhao Yu and Jingnu still insisted on practicing martial arts every morning, until Yang Tong woke up and sent someone to summon Zhao Yu.

Unless there are special circumstances, otherwise the two have never stopped.

It is worth mentioning that when Zhao Yu and Jingnu were still living in the house, the thieves in the village saw that they were practicing martial arts there seriously, and most of them responded with mockery and abuse, but now, basically no thieves under Yang Tong dared to laugh at them, and Liu Tu and others under Chen Mo would not, at most, they would spit on the ground, regardless of whether Zhao Yu saw it or not.

By the way, when he learned that Zhao Yu intended to practice martial arts, many thieves under Yang Tong volunteered to help, so as to get closer to Zhao Yu, including Yang Tong's fierce husband Niu Heng.

It's a pity that these people have a lazy personality and can't hold on for a few days, just like Niu Heng, they only taught Zhao Yu for two days, and they couldn't get up on the third day.

Also, you can't expect a group of bandits to rise up every day like a soldier, and the older the bandits, the more so.

Not only the Black Tiger Village, but also the other bandits in Jiuzhai.

But these days are okay, after all, the officers and soldiers under the mountain have not retreated, when Zhao Yu and Jingnu got up, the camp gradually became noisy, many bandits gathered in the open space in front of the cottage, while looking at the officers and soldiers camp under the mountain, while waiting for the room to prepare breakfast for them.

I don't know how long later, there was a sudden burst of cheers outside the cottage.

"Retreat! The officers and soldiers retreated! ”

"Aha! These damned officers and soldiers are scared! …… These guys have finally learned how good we are! ”

"Officers and soldiers retreat! Officers and soldiers retreat! ”

Zhao Yu and Jingnu, who were practicing martial arts, including Xu Fen, who taught them, turned their heads and saw many cottages pouring into the village, shouting and cheering.

"The officers and soldiers have retreated?" Xu Fen's spirits perked up, but when he turned his head to look at Zhao Yu, he found that Zhao Yu's face was unusually calm.

He asked in surprise: "Huzi, the officers and soldiers have retreated, aren't you happy?" ”

"Huh? Oh. ”

Zhao Yu was stunned, and then a slight smile appeared on his face: "Of course I'm happy, I didn't react." ”

In fact, of course, he didn't react, he just wasn't surprised.

Not to mention that Ma Gai has been forced to become the internal response of his Black Tiger Village, even under normal circumstances, Ma Gai has no way to continue attacking the mountain, after all, yesterday's sneak attack, the officers and soldiers under the mountain really lost a lot of manpower - although the sneak attack that day, the ten cottages also lost a lot of manpower, but in general, the loss of the officers and soldiers was greater, especially in the second half, when Chen Mo and Wang Qing came forward to knock Ma Gai out and kidnap him, if it weren't for Yang Tong's failure to affect Ma Gai's position as the county lieutenant, In fact, yesterday the bandits could actually occupy the camp of the officers and soldiers, instead of setting fire to the grain and grass in the camp and retreating, deliberately giving those officers and soldiers a chance to extinguish the fire.

"Nearly 800 people were lost in the two battles, and Liu Bi, the county commander of Kunyang, most of them had to ask Ma Gai......

Zhao Yu thought secretly in his heart.

However, he was not worried, because he knew that when Ma Gai led the officers and soldiers to attack the Black Tiger Village again, this county lieutenant would definitely be able to break the Black Tiger Village in one fell swoop and wash away the humiliation of the first two defeats.

Why?

Because that's what the four of them decided yesterday in that cave.

Although Guo Da is a little sorry for this current Black Tiger Village, Yang Tong and Zhao Yu don't care: Yang Tong doesn't care, that's because he can sacrifice anyone and anything in order to become the 'Tiger of Yingshan'; and Zhao Yu doesn't care because he has long been thinking about moving the cottage, the reason is that the current Black Tiger Village is halfway up the mountain in Yingshan Mountain, and it is difficult to guard against the surprise attack of officers and soldiers, so he is ready to move to the top of the mountain.

Hengzhu wants to give up the original cottage, why not give this credit to Ma Gai and help him wash away the shame of the first two defeats?

finally got a county lieutenant-level internal response, whether it was Zhao Yu or Yang Tong, they attached more importance to the latter's position as a county lieutenant than Ma Gai himself.

Around the hour, Guo Da personally came to Zhao Yu's residence, and saw that Xu Fen was teaching Zhao Yu and Jingnu some tips on using swords, and he was not stingy, and taught some of his sword skills - probably all of his experience in killing people.

During this period, Guo Da pulled Zhao Yu aside and asked in a low voice, "After a night's rest, are you better?" ”

Of course, Zhao Yu knew what Guo Da was asking, and nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Guo Da sighed, patted Zhao Yu's shoulder and said, "That's good." …… Don't think about it, it's just a special case, and the boss is just ...... Just to take care of the big picture. ”

Zhao Yu snorted coldly, but he didn't say anything, and changed the topic to ask Guo Da's intention: "Brother Guo Da came to me, I don't know why?" ”

Guo Da said with a smile: "It was the boss who asked me to come here to see how the Ah Hu brothers are doing, by the way...... Ask what happened next......"

He glanced around, and saw that Xu Fen was teaching Jingnu martial arts alone, and did not pay attention to this side, so he lowered his voice and said to Zhao Yu: "Ah Hu, as you said, Ma Gai has already withdrawn from the army, so next, we should do something to those four cottages, right?" …… But how? What do you have in mind? ”

The four cottages he mentioned in his mouth refer to the remaining four of the thirteen cottages at that time who refused to bring people to support Black Tiger Village for various reasons: Cai Cheng, Xu He, Yu Rong, and Yuan Xu.

Previously, the Black Tiger Village would ally thirteen cottages and took the initiative to give up the road under the mountain, and these thirteen families were more or less benefited, but when the Black Tiger Village was attacked by Kunyang officers and soldiers, these four people refused to bring people to help the Black Tiger Village for various reasons.

At that time, not to mention that Yang Tong gritted his teeth with hatred, even Zhao Yu regarded them as dead people and the objects that he was ready to eradicate in the first step.

"What the boss means is to mention this matter in front of the lord of Jiuzhai Village, and say that they will go together to crusade against the other four families......" Guo Da said in a low voice.

"Then he must have escaped." Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "You tell the master of the village, don't worry about this matter." This time, whether it is our Black Tiger Village, or the rest of Jiuzhai, they have lost a lot of manpower, not to mention that the rest of Jiuzhai may not be willing to help us crusade against the remaining four families who betrayed, and we ourselves must avoid losing manpower again. …… In the past few days, let's eat and celebrate in the village, and don't mention the crusade against the other four families. Do you think those four won't panic? Those four families originally thought that we would not be able to stop the officers and soldiers of Kunyang, but now that we not only blocked it, but also defeated them in turn, those four families will also regret it, and they will inevitably send people to ask for their guilt. …… When they send people over, let's not do it first, trick Cai Cheng, Xu He, Yu Rong, and Yuan Xu to come and apologize in person, and wait until the four of them come to the Black Tiger Village, without saying a word, take it down, cut off the head, and use the heads of these four people to deter the people of the four cottages and force them to surrender to the cottage ......"

"Great idea!"

Guo Da left satisfied, and told Yang Tong about Zhao Yu's strategy.

Yang Tong was also very satisfied after hearing this, so he passed down the order: In order to celebrate the repulsion of Kunyang officers and soldiers again, the cottage celebrates for ten days!

To celebrate means to drink wine and eat meat, how can the bandits refuse?

Not to mention that the bandits in Black Tiger Village were excited about this, even the rest of the bandits in Jiuzhai were not busy returning to their respective cottages.

And when the Black Tiger Village celebrated, the owners of Cai Cheng, Xu He, Yu Rong, and Yuan Xu sent people to ask for their guilt one after another, explaining all kinds of excuses for failing to come to help at that time.

Because of the heavy stakes, Guo Da was not sure in his heart, so he asked Zhao Yu: "If I am good at deceiving each other, can I deceive those four people into the village?" ”

Zhao Yu shook his head and said: "Everyone is suspicious, if you are kind to coax each other, the four people will definitely be suspicious, on the contrary, you have to scold them, tell them directly, you want to remove them from the Fourteen Zhai Alliance, but don't say it to death, for example, you can hint at them, let them give compensation and apologies in response......"

Guo Da listened to Zhao Yu's suggestion, and when he met with the thieves sent by the four people one by one, he scolded and said: "Let Cai Cheng, Xu He, Yu Rong, and Yuan Xu come to my Black Tiger Village to apologize in person, and there is still a turning point in this matter." ”

After that, they waited for several days, until May 19, Xu He, Yu Rong, and Yuan Xu really came to the Black Tiger Village with more than a dozen bandits, but Cai Cheng did not come.

On the side of Black Tiger Village, Guo Da has sharpened his knife at this moment, and he is ready to cut off the heads of Xu He, Yu Rong, and Yuan Xu, and force down the bandits under him.
