Chapter Seventy-Five: I've Seen the Old Man
Just when Huang Dahu and Liang were each taking action, on the Black Wind Ridge, the bandits who stayed behind in the cottage also learned the news of Luo Biao's annihilation.
"Yan Kui, I swear to kill you to avenge the blood revenge of the big boss!"
Shi Dalei, the third master who was ordered by Luo Biao to stay and guard the cottage, had red eyes, tore his throat and swore a bloody oath.
As mentioned earlier, Shi Dalei and Chen Heizi are the same as the old team that fled for their lives with Luo Biao, after many years of getting along, several people have long become brothers in life and death, and their feelings are better than close relatives, this time Luo and Chen died in battle, and Shi Dalei only had the word revenge left in his heart.
It's just that Shi Dalei knows that Luo Biao and Chen Heizi, together with the elite of Qianhei Fengling, are not Yan Kui's opponents, and he took the liberty to take the remaining old and weak people in the village down the mountain to take revenge.
As a result, the three masters of the Black Wind Ridge, who have always been reckless, under the influence of revenge, not only did not rush and recklessly, but began to think about the gains and losses of advancing and retreating.
The reason for this is not because Shi Dalei suddenly changed his mind, but because he knew that if he tossed the remaining foundation of Black Wind Ridge because of his command, then he really had no power to take revenge.
Therefore, after receiving the bad news that Luo Biao was killed in battle, to the surprise of everyone in the cottage, Shi Dalei not only did not rush down the mountain to take revenge, but ordered everywhere to guard the cottage, so that Yan Kui could not have the opportunity to sneak attack.
…………
"Isn't this Shi Da Lei a scheming person, his previous reckless posture was all disguised, and the death of Luo Biao and Chen Heizi, who were above him, just made him reveal his original form."
Heifengling cottage, a small courtyard
Zhuang Laofu quietly sat alone in the study, thinking about the current situation in the cottage and under the mountain.
And just as he was pondering the reasons behind Shi Dalei's diametrically opposed methods of dealing with things in the past, a little boy came to report.
"The three masters invite the military advisor to the Juyi Hall to discuss matters."
Zhuang Laofu is not surprised by this invitation, the current cottage, the main thing is Shi Dalei, the third master, and under it is him, the military advisor, Shi Dalei has just taken power, and nothing can completely avoid him.
In fact, after the news of Qinghukou came, in just half a day, Shi Dalei had already asked Zhuang Lao Fu for the third time to discuss matters, which also shows how dangerous the current situation of the cottage is......... and Shi Dalei, the current cottage master, is not as confident as he is on the face.
Told the little boy to go down, Zhuang Laofeng simply cleaned up, and then hurried to the Juyi Hall, Shi Dalei had been waiting here, and when he saw him enter the door, Zhuang Laofeng was startled by the first sentence.
"Strategist, I want to lead the village to take refuge in the sky, what do you think?"
Zhuang Lao was stunned for a moment, and then he replied with a frown: "What do the three masters think, tell me in detail with the old man." ”
Shi Dalei nodded, in the past, he really didn't take this old sour Confucian Zhuang in his eyes, but now that Luo Biao has died in battle, he is in charge of his own family, and he really feels that some things really have to be discussed with these people who have read books, these people are smart-witted, and they are more comprehensive than the rough men who can only fight with knives and guns.
Not to mention, Zhuang Laofu advised Luo Biao not to go down the mountain before, if Luo Biao listened to Zhuang Laofu, the situation would probably be completely different.
Shi Dalei is clear about these.
…………
After waving off the minions, Shi Dalei dragged Zhuang Laofu to sit down, and then said angrily: "The tragic death of the big boss, I want to avenge him, but only the remaining sons and daughters of our cottage really can't confront the official army, so I thought, it's better for us to take refuge in the sky."
The father and son of the Xia family on that line, there are many generals, and the power is far superior to Yan Kui, let's send people to Chongshan County, on the condition of avenging the big boss, I hope that the whole village will surrender, and the father and son of the Xia family will not be moved.
As long as it leads a reinforcement here, it will inevitably be confronted by the officers and troops of Qinghukou, we take the opportunity to sneak attack from behind, under the internal and external attacks, the officers and troops will be defeated, even if they can't kill Yan Kui, they can also vent their anger fiercely, and at the same time, the current crisis of our cottage will also be solved. ”
"Hiss........."
Zhuang Laofu looked at Shi Dalei with some shock, he really underestimated this rough man, but he didn't expect that there was a splendid interior under his reckless appearance.
So, is Shi Dalei's idea good?
Good!
Of course!
Don't think that now there are only a few hundred minions left in the Black Wind Ridge to attract others, this is a few hundred bandits who dare to fight, once they are subdued, they will immediately make the strength of the cottage go to a higher level, this temptation, Zhuang Lao Fu does not believe that the Xia family father and son can turn a blind eye.
And more importantly, over the years, the wealth accumulated by Luo Biao's robbery and robbery is not a small number.
Before, it was embarrassing to buy grain and silver, that was because there was no cash, and there were valuable items such as jewelry and antiques in the warehouse of the Black Wind Ridge Cottage, although these things were not easy for bandits, but they were all good things outside.
Looking at what Shi Dalei meant, as long as he could avenge Luo Biao, he didn't care about giving away this wealth accumulated by Heifengling to others.
Even if the father and son of the Xia family can resist the temptation of hundreds of minions in the Black Wind Ridge, they may not be able to hold on in the face of these treasures that can be exchanged for real gold and silver.
As the head of the three major bandits in Chongshan, the cottage minions are almost twice as large as those of Heifengling, once they really send troops to help, the tired army of Qinghukou alone may not be able to stop it, not to mention that there is still Shi Dalei on the mountain who can go down the mountain at any time to attack.
Zhuang Laofu looked at Shi Da Lei, who was in the light of the catalog, and a shadow fell in his heart.
…………
Here, I want to show the attitude of Zhuang Junshi, this master is a staunch Confucian student, and he hates these bandits and bandits in Heifengling, and what he thinks about every day is that the imperial court will send troops to exterminate Heifengling.
So how did Zhuang Laofu hate bandits so much, and how did he end up in Heifengling?
It all started five years ago.
Five years ago, Zhuang Junshi, who is now known as Zhuang Laofu, is still a private school teacher in the countryside of Qingyuan, because of his age, he has lost the heart of scientific research, and he is teaching students to learn literature and literacy every day, although the life is not rich, but it is also delicious.
But I don't want to, there are unforeseen circumstances, once Zhuang Laofu went out to visit friends, passing by Chongshan, he was running into Luo Biao who was going up and down the mountain to rob, adhering to the psychology of one more sheep is also driving, and Luo Da also tied him up as a meat ticket.
But I don't want to, this dealer is poor, where to get the ransom to save people, just when the bandits in Heifengling were about to tear up the ticket according to the rules, Luo Biao found that he accidentally found a good poem written by Zhuang Laofu, and later learned that he was a private school gentleman, Luo Biao started to love talents, leaving Zhuang Laofu's life, and let him make a document on the cottage.
In Luo Biao's heart, he left Zhuang Laofu's life, Zhuang Laofu should be grateful to him, but in fact, he didn't know that Zhuang Laofu was an authentic Confucian disciple, and he was deeply ashamed of going up the mountain and falling into the grass.
But ants are still stealing life, and what about people, Zhuang Laofu still didn't do anything to himself after all.
However, although he was temporarily appointed to the thief's nest, Zhuang Laofu did not reluctantly degenerate himself as a bandit, but kept silent and hid himself in obscurity, looking forward to the day when the champion could capture this place, or he could escape quietly from the Black Wind Ridge.
Unexpectedly, things don't go according to people's wishes, his low profile did not let Luo Biao let him go, but he became a military advisor in the cottage all the way.
It has to be said that it is ironic that an old boy who has a heart for the court, but has no ambition for half his life, is in a den of bandits that he is deeply ashamed of, and has a prosperous official fortune.
And this irony did not affect Zhuang Laofu's loyalty to the imperial court, and when he became a cottage military advisor, he began to plan how to better help the imperial court suppress bandits.
Offer advice to let the court win, let Luo Biao suffer!
At this time, Zhuang Laofu can be said to have lived for five years in addition to the matter of life and death, and it is time to do something for the court to be innocent.
But what he didn't expect was that the development of things after that was completely beyond his expectations, for example, when he stopped Luo Biao from going down the mountain before, he was worried that Yan Kui, who was in Qinghukou, would be caught off guard by Luo Biao's sneak attack.
However, the result afterwards did confirm that he almost ruined Yan Kui's plan, and Luo Biao's words of remorse before his death were more like a cold joke............
………
Now, Luo Biao and Chen Heizi are ambushed, and there is only one reckless and rude Shi Dalei left in the cottage, no matter how he looks at it, he is not Yan Kui's opponent, Zhuang Laofu thought that the time had come for him to get out of the sea of suffering, but he didn't want Shi Dalei who he didn't put in his eyes turned out to be rough and fine, and he figured out a clever plan.
No, I've got to stop him!
Zhuang Laofu secretly made up his mind in his heart.
But this is not easy, looking at Shi Dalei with a determined face in front of him, Zhuang Laofu knew that he had made up his mind, and his persuasion was not only in vain, but also likely to cause Shi Dalei to doubt his intentions.
Tsk, tricky............
In the final analysis, Zhuang Laofu is not a talented person with many scheming, otherwise he would not have been an old boy in the countryside for half his life, and he would not have advanced an inch.
The reason why Zhuang Laofu was able to become the military advisor of Heifengling was because Ye Yunfan, the former second master and military advisor of the cottage, died, and he was one of the few scholars in the Black Cottage, so he was lucky to take the position with the support of Luo Biao, in fact, Zhuang Laofu was not good at giving advice.
To let him come up with a set of effective coping methods in a very short period of time, Zhuang Laofu really does not have this ability.
So, he could only pretend to agree to Shi Dalei's proposal for the time being, and then said goodbye and left, returning to his study to quietly ponder countermeasures.
Small courtyard, study
When Zhuang Laofu was full of sorrowful thoughts, someone suddenly knocked on the door outside the study, Zhuang Laofu thought it was a child waiting outside, but he didn't care, and explained to him not to disturb himself, but the knocking on the door continued.
At this time, Zhuang Laofu finally realized that something was wrong, he took out a dagger from under the chair, quietly hid it in his sleeve, and then said in a low voice: "Come in." ”
The door opened from the outside, and a sturdy young man with a fierce expression entered the door lightly, and then faced Zhuang Laofu with a guarded face, and neatly performed a Northern Jin Dynasty military salute.
"Qingyuan militia, Long Guang, I have seen the old man ............"
