"PS: I fainted, I didn't release it."

———— the following text————

As the saying goes, it is better to be a chicken than a cow.

Some people would rather be the leader of a small place than be dominated by a larger force, especially for some unruly bandits.

Therefore, when Liu Heimu put forward that suggestion, Zhang Feng and Ma Hong themselves were a little disgusted.

However, after thinking about it carefully, the two of them found that they had no room to refuse at present, after all, they were now under the fence, sheltered in Black Tiger Village and sheltered by Yang Tong.

Living in the master's house, eating the master's food, drinking the master's wine, and refusing the master's proposal, this kind of thing Zhang Feng and Ma Hong naturally ......

Do it!

Hey? Do it?

Of course!

What are you kidding, they're bandits!

What could be embarrassing!

What really made Zhang Feng and Ma Hong hesitate was just that they were worried about whether they would offend Yang Tong after refusing.

What is the fate of offending Yang Tong?

Quite at the beginning of Xu He, Yu Rong, and Yuan Xu, the three owners of the village had already used their lives to make a demonstration, and these three people were invited to the big house by Yang Tong, mistakenly thinking that Yang Tong had forgiven them, and drank happily, but Guo Da broke in with a team of thieves and cut them to the ground.

With the examples of Xu He, Yu Rong, and Yuan Xu that day, Zhang Feng and Ma Hong were afraid that they would accidentally offend Yang Tong, after all, the latter was a ruthless master who would kill people with a smile.

Out of fear, Zhang Feng and Ma Hong exchanged a look, but no one had the courage to refuse.

I don't know if Liu Heimu will be wrong, he saw that the two didn't speak, and mistakenly thought that the two were hesitating, so he immediately struck while the iron was hot, and used himself as an example to tell about the various preferential treatment after defecting to Yang Tong.

Not to mention, Liu Heimu's use of his own experience as an example really made Zhang Feng and Ma Hong a little excited.

After exchanging glances, Zhang Feng said to Liu Heimu: "Liu Heimu, let's discuss?" ”

"Okay, okay, you two discuss."

Liu Heimu nodded again and again, and even folded his arms and looked at Zhang Feng and Ma Hong intently.

Seeing this, Zhang Feng licked his lips and said, "I mean, I'll discuss it with Ma Hong after I go back." ”

Hearing this, Liu Heimu seemed to be a little unhappy, and frowned before saying, "That'...... I'm waiting for good news from you two tomorrow? ”

Grudgingly at Liu Heimu, Zhang Feng and Ma Hong got up to say goodbye.

After saying goodbye to Liu Heimu, Zhang Feng took Ma Hong back to his residence, only to see the two of them retreat left and right, discussing the matter softly.

I have to say that among the owners of Bazhai Village, the most unlucky is Sun Yi, who died tragically on the spot due to the ambush of Kunyang officers and soldiers, and his subordinates escaped by luck and went to Black Tiger Village instead, becoming Yang Tong or Chen Mo, or Wang Qing's subordinates.

In addition to Sun Yi, the second worst in Bazhai is Zhang Feng and Ma Hong.

The two of them are simply difficult brothers, and the cottages they worked hard for each other were all wiped out by the Kunyang officers and soldiers in one fell swoop, and they also lost more than a dozen brothers each in order to rescue Sun Yi, so that there are only about 30 people left under the hands of the two at present, which is as miserable as Liu Heimu at the beginning.

In view of this situation, the two originally planned to wait for this matter to be over, and the two of them took their brothers to work together to build a new cottage, and they were brothers to each other, regardless of superiority, but they did not expect that today Liu Heimu proposed to them on behalf of Yang Tong to solicit them.

"Why don't you agree to take a look at it first?"

Ma Hong hesitated and said: "Even if what Liu Heimu said is false, it is undeniable that Yang Tong is indeed kind to him, if Yang Tong treats you and me well, you and I will do things for him, it is okay...... After all, the two of us and the brothers are now eating and drinking in the Black Tiger Village, if we refuse, I am afraid of offending Yang Tong. ”

Zhang Fengshu smiled and said, "You're afraid that he will kill the two of us like he killed Xu and the three of them." ”

"That shouldn't be, after all, Yang Tong also needs to be faced."

Ma Hong shook his head and said, "But the 'caravan benefit', you and I may not be able to get it in the future." …… Without the benefit of the caravan, you and I want to rebuild the cottage, there is only one way down the mountain to loot, looking at the attitude of Kunyang County now, even if Ma Gai is repelled by the Black Tiger Village this time, he may not turn a blind eye to you and me, if Kunyang County decides to level the mountain, we are sheltered in the Black Tiger Village, it is undoubtedly the wisest choice. ”

Zhang Feng thought for a while and said, "Okay, just according to what you said, let's take a look at Yang Tong's attitude first." …… You and I must at least be on an equal footing with Guo Da, Liu Heimu and others. ”

"Hmm." Ma Hong nodded.

The two discussed, went back to the house to sleep, and the next day, they came to Liu Heimu's house together, and expressed their willingness to go to Heihu Village to Liu Heimu.

Liu Heimu was immediately overjoyed, and immediately led the two to see Yang Tong.

As soon as Yang Tong heard that Liu Heimu had brought Zhang Feng and Ma Hong to ask for a meeting, he immediately understood what was going on.

You must know that although the plan of 'annexing Bazhai' was formulated by Zhao Yu and implemented by Guo Da, how could Yang Tong not know about it?

Therefore, when he learned that Liu Heimu brought Zhang Feng and Ma Hong to ask for a meeting, Yang Tong was immediately overjoyed.

Of course, before Zhang Feng and Ma Hong made their intentions clear, he still had to pretend, so as not to make people think that he was taking advantage of others.

Therefore, he invited Liu Heimu, Zhang Feng, and Ma Hong to the house, and pretended to ask the three of them about their intentions: "Heimu, you brought Zhang Zhai and Ma Zhai over today, I don't know what happened?" ”

Not to mention, he pretended to be presentable, at least Liu Heimu, Zhang Feng, and Ma Hong didn't see any flaws.

At the suggestion of Liu Heimu, Zhang Feng and Ma Hong glanced at each other, clasped their fists and said to Yang Tong: "Lord Yang Zhai, the two of us are grateful to the Lord of Yang Zhai for staying behind, and we are treated with good wine and food every day, and the two of us are not happy to go." Knowing that the owner of Yang Zhai did not dare to fight with the officers and soldiers because of the disunity of the people in the village, the two of us came to express our hearts, hoping to join Guizhai and resist the officers and soldiers together with the owner of Yang Zhai, and share the blessings and difficulties in the future! ”

The guess in his heart was confirmed, and Yang Tong was immediately overjoyed, but he didn't accept it immediately, but pretended to say: "Don't misunderstand, I made an alliance with each other on the same day, and we made an appointment to advance and retreat together, and now the owners of the village have been taken advantage of by the officers and soldiers because of their assistance to my Black Tiger Village, Yang Tong should take care of you, how dare you use this matter to coerce the two to join my Black Tiger Village?" ”

I have to say that his contrived words, not to mention that he himself was a little sick to his stomach, even Liu Heimu, Zhang Feng, and Ma Hong also showed embarrassed smiles after hearing it, so that the atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little weird.

Seeing this, Yang Tong immediately changed his words: "However, since the two of them can afford Yang and are willing to lead the crowd to my Black Tiger Village, how dare Yang treat the two of them badly?" After that, he raised his right hand, pointed three fingers to the sky, and swore solemnly: "Yang swears to the sky, from today on, the two are my Yang Tong's brothers, and they will share blessings and difficulties in the future. ”

After that, he made all kinds of promises to Liu Heimu, Zhang Feng, and Ma Hong, and the three of them were very pleased to hear it.

Zhang Feng and Ma Hong swore on the spot that they hoped to assist Liu Heimu and recruit several other cottages for Yang Tong, and Yang Tong was even more happy to hear it.

After Liu Heimu, Zhang Feng, and Ma Hong left, Yang Tong immediately sent someone to call Guo Da and told Guo Da everything about Fang Cai.

Guo Da didn't know that Liu Heimu had actually seen through everything, but he hadn't exposed it, so he said to Yang Tong quite proudly: "Ah Hu is really right, it's not good for us to come forward in this matter, and it's best for Liu Heimu to come forward." ”

Yang Tong also nodded, and echoed: "Buying bones with a thousand dollars, today is finally rewarding." After that, he asked Guo Dadao: "Zhou Hu these days...... What have you done? ”

Hearing Yang Tong mention Zhao Yu, Guo Da was slightly shocked in his heart, and said in a good voice: "I didn't do anything, I was thinking about some things in the future, I chatted with him in the past two days, and he felt that there was only one surnamed Ma as our internal response, which was still very passive, so he was weighing whether to take that ...... The surname is Liu. ”

"The surname Liu? Liu Bi? ”

Yang Tong was slightly taken aback, and said with a smile: "This kid is really bold...... he said, and he asked again: "Have there been people from Chen Mo and Wang Qing who have tried to win him over recently?" ”

Guo Da smiled and said, "I'll send Chen Cai to keep an eye on it." …… Moreover, Ah Hu himself knows the proportions, and knows that the boss is worried about Chen Mo and Wang Qing, how can you contact those two people? ”

Speaking of this, he spoke euphemistically for Zhao Yu: "Actually, the boss doesn't have to worry, although Ah Hu is young, what he can and can't do, he knows it in his heart, I don't think you need to restrain him too much, boss." ”

Yang Tong nodded thoughtfully, and then said: "By the way, I heard from the people below that Niu Heng has given Liu Heimu a look from time to time these days, and he has openly provoked several times, right?" You go to Niu Heng and tell him to be more restrained! ”

"Okay, boss."

Guo Da nodded.

On the same day, Liu Heimu, Zhang Feng, and Ma Hong decided to immediately persuade Chu Jiao, Wu Sheng, Feng Xing, and Liu Mao, the four village owners.

Among the four village owners, Chu Jiao and Feng Xing's forces are the most complete.

After all, Chu Jiao's gang had repelled a group of Kunyang officers and soldiers attacking their cottage, and although more than a dozen people died, most of them were still saved, including the women and children in their village.

And Feng Xing was the only one in the Eight Villages who was not attacked by the Kunyang officers and soldiers, and he himself was afraid of the sneak attack of the Kunyang officers and soldiers, so he took his men to the Black Tiger Village.

Therefore, in addition to Chen Zu, Chu Jiao and Feng Xing can be regarded as the luckiest of the Bazhai.

As for the rest of Wu Sheng and Liu Mao, they are not as lucky as Chu Jiao and Feng Xing, but they are not as miserable as Zhang Feng and Ma Hong.

The only exception is Chen Zu, who thinks that Liu Heimu, Zhang Feng, and Ma Hong don't think that Chen Zu will defect to Black Tiger Village.
