———— the following text————

After the New Year, Zhao Yu will be twelve years old.

Of course, just like Ning Niang grew from six to seven years old, age is not very meaningful to Zhao Yu, after all, twelve years old is still a child.

If Zhao Yu did something out of the ordinary, it would still arouse the suspicion of others, after all, it had only been two or three months since the incident of the Zhao clan in Luyang, and if Zhao Yu was impatient to start implementing his plan, it would still inevitably arouse the suspicion of those bandits in the village.

After all, his original title of 'second son' was quite resounding in Luyang and Yexian, although not too many people had seen his face.

Of course, although he did not plan to immediately implement the plan to recover this group of bandits, this did not prevent Zhao Yu from collecting information about the group of bandits in the village, such as their origins, preferences, etc., which would help him in his future plans.

What really made him a little embarrassed was Jingnu.

I have to say that if Jingnu was just from an ordinary poor family, maybe she didn't have much resistance to the bandits, but don't forget, she was cultivated by the Zhou family, whether it was etiquette, embroidery, reading, writing, don't look at Jingnu's identity as a maid in the Xianghou Mansion at that time, but in fact, the Zhou family cultivated her as a daughter - after all, she is the concubine of her youngest son in the future, how can the Zhou family tolerate Jingnu and nothing?

In the process of cultivation, Zhou's values inevitably affected Jingnu, which led to Jingnu's very disgust and rejection of thieves.

Of course, people like Xu Fen, Deng Bai, Deng Song, and Ning Niang don't count, after all, these children haven't killed anyone yet, they just help work in the thief village, and they are not real thieves.

What Jingnu dislikes is the thieves in the thief village who go down the mountain from time to time to rob their homes, including Chen Mo, the second village master who is quite principled in Zhao Yu's opinion.

Therefore, as winter faded away and spring gradually came, Jingnu had the idea of wanting Zhao Yu to leave her.

At the beginning of February, seeing that last year's snow was gradually melting, one day Jingnu said to Zhao Yu in private: "Young master, when will we flee from here and go to Yuncheng?" ”

Zhao Yu was stunned when he heard this, you must know that he didn't expect to leave, and he was still planning to recover this group of bandits.

When she learned of Zhao Yu's thoughts, Jing Nu's eyes widened in shock, and she couldn't help but say, "Young Master, these people are all bad people!" ”

Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "Having said that, it is undeniable that it is the only place for you and me at present...... Jingnu, you listen to me, if you want to take revenge, you and I must have a team of obedient people, the thieves in this thief village are a good choice, as long as I can find a way to become the lord of the village here, let the thieves below obey my orders, and then I can send them to inquire about you and my enemies, find the real murderer, and take revenge! ”

Speaking of which, Jing Nu's thoughts are also different from ordinary people, normal people will most of them be surprised when they hear Zhao Yu's thoughts, and think that Zhao Yu can't do it - a child who is still boiling water and cooking for a group of thieves in the gang room actually wants to become the leader of a gang of vicious thieves?

But Jingnu is different, she deeply trusts Zhao Yu, she believes that Zhao Yu can do it, she just resists those bandits.

She persuaded Zhao Yu and said, "Young master, we can defect to General Wang Shangde, General Wang admires you very much and will definitely help us avenge us." ”

"Not necessarily."

Zhao Yu shook his head.

It is true that General Wang Shangde does appreciate him Zhao Yu, but the question is, is the realistic General Wang really willing to confront a powerful force in the country for his Zhao Yu?

Zhao Yu didn't know if that 'Tong Yan' was the mastermind behind the whole thing, but whether he was or not, the force that framed him Luyang Zhao was undoubtedly a very powerful force, after all, even the county commander of Luyang County, Liu Wei, succumbed in front of this force, and the old man Mao of Yexian County died in vain.

Can you imagine the strength of that force?

Is Wang Shangde really willing to confront that force in order to entrap him? And the kind that never dies?

If he Luyang Zhao is still there, and he is still the president of the Luye Freemasonry, then there is still some hope for this matter, but now that the Luyang Zhao family no longer exists, there is only one Zhao Yu left in the entire Zhao family, even if Wang Shangde appreciates his intelligence, but is he really willing to confront a force that is countless times stronger than the Ruyang Zheng family in order to simply entrap a smart child?

Zhao Yu was not sure at all.

This is also the reason why Zhao Yu never thought of defecting to Wang Shangde.

He would not pin his life and Jing Nu's net worth on Wang Shangde's trade-off—if Wang Shangde in turn traded them with that powerful force, wouldn't they have died in vain?

His own net worth and life must always be in his own hands, and he cannot be entrusted to others, Zhao Yu still understands this very well.

Therefore, he would rather go to great lengths to find a group of bandits as minions and gradually build up his own strength to take revenge, rather than go to Wang Shangde, who has an army of more than 100,000 troops, and go to the slightest possibility that Wang Shangde is willing to help him take revenge.

After listening to Zhao Yu's reasoning, Jingnu was silent, and after a while, she hesitated and asked, "That...... Didn't Yuncheng go either? ”

"Yuncheng, ......"

Hearing Jingnu hear Yuncheng, Zhao Yu couldn't help but feel melancholy, and immediately shook his head: "I'm not going." ”

It's not that he is ruthless, just because he has a place for the time being, so he ignores his grandfather and grandmother, but because it is too late in time.

Around October last year, the Hou Mansion of his hometown was tragically destroyed, because of the cold winter, Zhao Yu and Jingnu had no way to escape to Yuncheng at that time, and the cold winter weather was enough to kill them on the way.

At the moment, the snow and ice are melting and the weather is getting warmer, but the question is how long has it been? Almost four months!

Four months!

If Old Man Zhou had gotten the tragedy of his daughter, son-in-law and grandson in advance, I believe that he would have fled with his wife and joined his two sons.

If it was too late, if Old Man Zhou didn't know in advance, but arrived in Yuncheng with Liang Chengjun's gang first, then what should have happened would have happened in the past four months, even if Zhao Yu fled to Yuncheng with Jingnu at this moment, it would be useless.

Hengzhu is already irreparable, and the only thing Zhao Yu can do is to pray that his grandfather and grandmother can escape this catastrophe.

"Alright then......"

Seeing that Zhao Yu had made up his mind and insisted on staying in this thief village to prepare to implement his plan, Jing Nu could only listen, although she still rejected it in her heart, thinking that a noble person like Zhao Yu must not mix with a group of thieves.

It's a pity that she can't do anything about it right now.

She can only work hard to practice her martial arts, hoping that one day she can help Zhao Yu and do those things that she thinks are dirty and ugly on Zhao Yu's behalf.

In March, the atmosphere in the thief village suddenly became tense.

One morning, when Zhao Yu and Jingnu followed Xu Fen and they returned from cutting firewood, they found that Zhu Wang, who usually slept until about noon, was standing at the door of the room, as if waiting for them.

Sure enough, seeing Zhao Yu and the others coming back, Zhu Wang immediately stepped forward, called Zhao Yu and Xu Fen aside, and instructed: "There are brothers who have gone down the mountain to find out the news, Kunyang County is organizing people to encircle and suppress us, you should be careful these days, collect firewood and go to the mountains, don't wander around in the middle of the mountain, so as not to be implicated." ”

"Kunyang County sent county guards to encircle and suppress?"

Zhao Yu was taken aback, but after thinking about it, he was relieved.

How could Kunyang County have been allowing a gang of Ying bandits to rob homes and houses in the territory?

It stands to reason that the officers and soldiers encircled and suppressed the bandits who did a lot of evil, and Zhao Yu should naturally support it out of common sense, but the embarrassing thing is that his current position is really a little embarrassing.

He couldn't help but wonder if the county officials of Kunyang caught him and Jingnu, whether they would also be arrested as the remnants of the bandits.

After returning to the room, Xu Fen told everyone about it with a serious expression, and ordered: "From tomorrow onwards, Ning Niang will stay in the room, Jingzi, you also stay, lest something happen in the village when a few of us are not there, Huzi, Deng Bai, Deng Song, the three of you will go with me to chop wood." ”

When Xu Fen commanded, the rest of Deng Bai, Deng Song, and Jing Nu were all a little panicked, and Ning Niang was even more frightened, hiding in Jing Nu's arms, and asked weakly: "...... Will we be killed by all the officers and soldiers? ”

Xu Fen rubbed Ning Niang's head and said with relief: "Don't worry, the people in the village will definitely be able to repel those officers and soldiers." …… Shizuko, take care of Ning Niang for me. ”

"Hmm."

When it was close to noon, Zhao Yu, Xu Fen, Deng Bai, and Deng Song carried wooden barrels full of rice and vegetables as usual to the big house where the thieves in the village were cooking.

Originally, it was always noisy in the big house, but today, the big house is exceptionally quiet.

When Zhao Yu and the others carried the wooden barrel into the house, he found that the bandits were sitting in the house.

On the wooden chair with tiger skin on the main seat, a man wearing a small coat of animal skin sat there, only to see this person with a gloomy face and fierce eyes, this person is the master of this gang of thieves, Yang Tong.

In the first place on the east and west sides of the house, there are Chen Mo, the owner of the second village, and Wang Qing, the owner of the third village.

When Zhao Yu and the others carefully put down the wooden barrel in the house, they happened to hear Wang Qingzai say disapprovingly: "What is there to discuss?" The soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, Kunyang will send people to die, let's kill one by one! …… Aren't they the officers and soldiers of Kunyang? It's not that I haven't dealt with each other, so if you have this time, it's better to eat early......"

As he spoke, he caught a glimpse of Zhao Yu and Xu Fen, and asked with a smile, "Those boys, what are you cooking today?" ”

Xu Fen replied cautiously: "I slaughtered a pig, cooked two buckets of meat, and twenty chickens and ducks, half a bucket of beans, and some cured meat and the like......"

"Hmm." Wang Qing nodded and ordered, "Don't forget to cook wine." ”

"Yes." Xu Fen replied cautiously.

At this time, Yang Tong, who was sitting on the main seat, spoke: "Wang Qing, don't be in a hurry to eat wine and eat first. The brother who heard the news from the mountain said that the Kunyang County Commander had organized three or four hundred people this time, and it was said that half of them were county officials in the county, and the rest were recruited township warriors, who were menacing......

"Three or four hundred?"

Hearing this, the group of bandits in the big house immediately talked about it.

Among them, some of the thieves patted their chests and shouted cruel words like "just do with them".

But there are also bandits who show panic on their faces and propose to abandon the cottage and flee into the depths of Yingshan.

All in all, the house was so noisy that it was even more noisy than the market.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Yu frowned and shook his head secretly.

What is a rabble, a plate of loose sand?

I'm afraid it's these people, the officers and soldiers of Kunyang haven't come yet, and they have messed up first.

"Can these people really repel the officers and soldiers of Kunyang?"

Zhao Yu was really a little unsure.

Suddenly, he saw Chen Mo, who was sitting in the middle of the seat without saying a word.

As if sensing Zhao Yu's gaze, Chen Mo turned his head and glanced at Zhao Yu, so startled that Zhao Yu immediately lowered his head and avoided the other party's gaze.

"This Chen Mo is unusually calm. …… Let's wait and see.'"

He thought to himself.

Although he was a little sorry for Kunyang, Zhao Yu couldn't sit back and watch this gang of bandits be exterminated by Kunyang, if it really didn't work, he decided to advance his plan.

But before that, he was going to take a look at the situation first, after all, that Chen Mo ......

It doesn't feel easy.
