Under the same night sky, there was no noise of war drums in the daytime up and down Baihu Mountain, and it also fell into a quiet.

However, compared to the complete darkness of Qingzhou City, there is still a little light above and below the mountain and the stars in the sky. Both the officers and the bandits on the mountain were on guard against a possible night attack, so they each lit bonfires and torches to illuminate at least the area around the camp.

At this time, in the White Tiger Village, the two brothers of the Kong family were already depressed, even if they used the crossbow at the bottom of the box, but the battle situation was still extremely unfavorable to their own family, the strength of this Qingzhou official army was too strong, and the soldiers were still old, Kong Ming had obviously guessed that the other party wanted to consume all the arrows and stones in his own village, and at that time it was really impossible to hold it with this geographical advantage.

What's even worse is that most of the whole village is wounded, and the number of war dead has reached more than 150 people. And both of his brothers were also injured a lot, even if they wanted to grit their teeth and break through desperately.

"Owner, how is this good?" In the Gathering Hall, several small leaders were looking at them blankly, although they did not say it explicitly, but the intention in their hearts was already obvious - they had no intention of fighting again, and they had the intention of surrendering to the government, and only looked at the decision of the two leaders.

Kong Liang's face was a little terrifying, and he gritted his teeth and stared at these cowardly guys: "You ......" He just wanted to scold, but was interrupted by Kong Ming pulling his hand: "Let's think about this matter again, don't worry, our brother will definitely give you an explanation before tomorrow." ”

A few small leaders didn't dare to persecute too much, so they immediately retreated and gave up the righteous hall to the two leaders. And as soon as they left, Kong Liang couldn't help it: "Big brother, why be so kind to them, these guys are really too angry, it's only been two days since they fought, and they're going to surrender...... Once we really go down the mountain and surrender to the government, the end will be difficult to say! ”

Kong Ming smiled bitterly and sighed: "Of course I know that once I take the initiative to go down the mountain, I will be in the hands of others, but have you thought about it, how long can we last?" If you continue to hold on, you can certainly last two days, and you can kill some officers and soldiers, but what good is this? On the contrary, it will make the government hate us even more, and the end will be even more unbearable. ”

After a pause, he looked at his brother again and said, "And now there are not only us brothers in the cottage, but also many people in the village, as well as my father and our wife and children." Have you ever wondered what will happen to them next? ”

These words really reminded Kong Liang, and also made his face change: "Then is it just like this?" "He's really a little unwilling......

"That's all there is to it, I think everyone can understand our predicament, there are already too many dead, there can be no more casualties." Kong Ming sighed. Compared with his somewhat radical and reckless brother, he is obviously the more stable one.

"But...... Can they really accept us surrendering empty-handed? I heard that the people in the government are very greedy. Kong Liang still hesitated after some struggle, but these words already showed that he had made concessions.

"There is still some wealth in the stockade

objects, and the income from our many years of operation is also hidden in the secret room of Zhuangzi, and the officials and soldiers may not be able to find it. When the time comes, take them out and hand them in, and you should be able to offset some of your sins. The casualties of the officers and soldiers this time are also very heavy, and it is also beneficial for them to incorporate us. Kong Ming hesitated for a moment and then gave his thoughts: "Let's go to the back to pack up some gold and silver, and send someone down the mountain before the fourth watch to find out their mouth." ”

"That's all it can be." Kong Liang can only bow to reality in the end, his strength is far inferior to others, and if he wants to protect himself and his family, then he can only compromise and surrender.

And just when the two brothers were still fantasizing that they could take out the belongings hidden in the White Tiger Village as bargaining chips, the officials and soldiers under the mountain had already found the secret room they thought was safe.

Although this White Tiger Village occupies a large area, it cannot allow the entire Qingzhou army to settle in it after all. Moreover, it was located at the bottom of the mountain, which was not conducive to holding the way down the mountain, so Sun Tu did not set up the military camp in it, but only sent those wounded into it for better diagnosis and treatment.

And in order to prevent any mistakes, such as the thieves had already dug the secret passage between Zhuangzi and the village on the mountain, so as to be attacked, Sun Tu even sent people from the scout camp to conduct a careful search in Zhuangzi early, and Shi Qian was the leader of the team.

Although the secret room in the White Tiger Village is designed to be secret and ingenious, there are still flaws in the eyes of Shi Qian, who is good at stealing treasures, after a period of searching around, he really found a hidden cellar under a flower garden in the backyard, and when he opened it, he saw a large amount of grain and silver money, which was the wealth mentioned by the Kong brothers.

Shi Qian and the others did not delay, and immediately sent someone to report the matter to Sun Tu, so that he was pleasantly surprised and hurried over to take a look. There were a large number of casualties in the army this time, and he naturally wanted to pay generous compensation, but the money and food on hand were left to continue training, and once they were used, they would be overstretched.

Especially when he saw the gold and silver snatched by those who didn't know where Baihu Mountain came from, Sun Tu was even more amazed: "Speaking of which, I'm afraid that we are the poorest soldiers." The greed and exploitation of officials, the robbery of thieves, only we have to work hard to get the share that should belong to us, and we have to worry about endless troubles afterwards. This bag of gold is enough for more than a thousand of my brothers for a month! Sighing with emotion, Sun Tu casually took the heaviest gold in the big package, but when the package was lifted and a line of small words below was revealed, his expression changed: "Luojia Village...... How is this place name somewhat familiar......"

"Eunuch, could that be the name of the village that we passed by when we first arrived in Qingzhou. The little one still remembers that there is a stone tablet at the entrance of the village, and the three characters of Luojia Village are written on it. A pro-soldier who used to belong to the Jiangzhou soldiers spoke.

And Sun Tu's eyes narrowed even more quickly: "Yes, I heard Murong Yanchao and them mention this bloody case of destroying the village before." Could it be that all the old and young people in the village there were killed by the people on the White Tiger Mountain? As he spoke, his hand holding the package clenched suddenly, and after his eyes wandered over the package again, he found that there were indeed a few drops of blood on it!

This time, those around me were originally because of the hair

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

The faces of the soldiers, who were excited by the abundance of wealth, also became solemn. This kind of massacre of the village is not an ordinary crime, just thinking about it makes people indignant, and they can't wait to kill them all.

"It's not too late to ask after breaking through White Tiger Mountain and capturing their leader alive." Sun Tu let out a breath of turbidity, and at the same time, he had secretly decided in his heart that he must investigate this matter to the end, no matter who did it, he would make the other party pay a heavy price.

Just as Sun Tu was still disposing of the belongings in the White Tiger Village, a black shadow suddenly appeared in the weeds not far from the barracks. This person's movements were very light, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, it had only been a few days, why had an army appeared under this White Tiger Mountain? This time, I was ordered to come to contact, can I still go up?

"Whether I can get in or not, I can't just leave, how can I find out the origin of this army!" The man muttered a strange sentence that was completely different from the official language of the Song people, and continued to move forward, and at the same time pressed one hand on a somewhat dilapidated and simple scimitar at his waist, always on guard.

Just as he continued to move forward, intending to approach the largest military tent in the middle, a big man in front of him suddenly came to this side with a little staggering steps, and while walking, he muttered in his mouth: "Damn, the wine in this White Tiger Village is really a little strong, and the Sprinkle family has only drunk two jars, and it looks like it is not much worse than the liquor that San Lang gave me to drink......" As he spoke, he just stood a few feet away from the black shadow, and then unbuckled his belt, took out the guy and put the water.

Such unscrupulous practices, coupled with the splashing of urine, some of them fell directly on the black shadow's face, making him dare to be angry. At the moment, he was no longer patient, and suddenly he stepped into a force, and the person suddenly jumped up, and the scimitar in his hand was out, straight to the throat of the other party.

This sudden attack made the man who had just finished urinating and received his brother back suddenly shocked. But he didn't panic completely because of this, and immediately let out a low shout, seeing the angle of the knife, his thick body suddenly folded back, and he narrowly dodged the knife that slashed at his throat. At the same time, one of his feet has also been lifted up, directly taking the opponent's lower.

A missed knife did disrupt the rhythm of the other party, and when he felt that the vital point of his lower body was attacked, he quickly withdrew the knife and wanted to retreat. But his movements were obviously not as good as those of the big man, and he shouted with a broken voice: "Run there!" A pair of large hands had reached out like lightning, and one was clasped on his forearm, which had slowed down a little by half a beat, and then his body quickly approached, and before he could swing the knife in his hand again, he had already drunk it high, and smashed it the still wet ground in front of him, and smashed it into the mud where he had just wet.

With a single bang, the black shadow had been smashed to the ground, and its whole body was about to fall apart. Not to mention running away or attacking, I don't even have the strength to get up from the ground. Then, a big foot had already stepped on his hand holding the knife, and with a crisp click, his wrist bone immediately shattered, and the knife was completely out of control.

It was only then that the soldiers in the rear barracks heard the sound and hurried over with torches, reflecting the embarrassed appearance of the face covered with urine and blood on the ground, and also the slightly dignified black face of Ruda......
