Gude and the others returned to the camp behind the mountain and did not attract much attention, they inquired, there was no one to patrol here in Huanglongzhai at night, after asking about the residence of Yang Xun and others, Gude took a few people to Yang Xun's stone house in Huanglongzhai at night.

Yang Xun, as the backbone of the three, had just sent Guo Yue and them back, and heard a report from the soldiers that someone from the three masters had come to look for him. In his impression, the third master is a person who only knows how to fight, and he has no friendship with him, why would he come to find him at this time.

"Let him in!" couldn't think of anything famous, so Yang Xun asked his soldiers to bring people in first.

When they came to the door, their soldiers stopped them and let only one of them in, and after a gesture, Goode went in alone.

After entering the house, he saw Yang Xun sitting alone on the main seat at the back of the hall, looking at him lightly. Goode did not show weakness, looked directly at Yang Xun and walked closer, and said: "I have seen the four masters!" ”

"Guiguzi" has a saying in the closing chapter, "It is possible or not, and its plan is clear, so as to make it the same and different." Clutch has to guard, first follow its will. It means to find out what the other person means before acting, and to maintain the status quo until it is clear. Although he was sure to convince Yang Xun, he decided to test it first.

"I heard that you were sent by the third brother, so tell me something." Yang Xun said indifferently, there was no trace of closeness in his tone when he talked about the third brother, but there was no obvious rejection.

"Back to the fourth master, the third master heard that the big boss planned to be unfavorable to you, and he couldn't bear to let his brother for many years come to this point, so he specially asked me to come over and inform you." Old German said without being shocked.

When Yang Xun heard this, he was indeed shocked, he did not have doubts about Gude's identity, and if the big boss really wanted to attack him, he would definitely need the help of the three masters, so it was normal for the three masters to know the news in advance.

Yang Xun settled down and asked Gude, "Third brother, do you have anything else to explain?" ”

"Yes, the third master said that he has always respected the person of the fourth master, and if you want to go down the mountain after learning the news, he will give you a convenience." When Gude said those words just now, he was also very worried, he didn't know how far the contradictions between the leaders of Huanglongzhai had developed now, and he was just gambling just now. But after Yang Xun heard the news, he directly believed it, and he knew that he had made the right bet.

After Yang Xun heard that the three masters were willing to let him go down the mountain, he fell silent. He really didn't want to go down alone like this, wasting everything he had established in Huanglongzhai in the past few years. But he knows that after all, the three masters and the big bosses are the township party, and now they are willing to let themselves go for a life is already very face-saving.

Seeing that Yang Xun didn't speak for a while, Goode thought to himself that it seemed that Yang Xun also had other ideas, and he didn't want to sit still, so he hugged his fists and saluted, pretending to want to say and stopped: "Qiyu is the fourth master, and the little one doesn't know whether to say it or not." ”

"Say!" Yang Xun's answer was very crisp.

"In fact, there are more than three masters, in the village, many brothers attach great importance to the four masters, this time the big boss wants to be unfavorable to you, and the brothers can't stand it. Since we beat up the nearby county town, the big boss is not as wise as before, and the cottage brothers are not the same as before, if the four masters are willing to take the lead in setting things right, I think many brothers will follow you to support you. Gude further persuaded that it was his real goal to divide the leaders of Huanglongzhai and let them have Neijiang.

As soon as Goode said this, Yang Xun's eyes turned directly to stare at him, just now Yang Xun was thinking about whether he could have a chance to turn defeat into victory if he made the first move. I didn't expect my thoughts to be directly expressed by a small soldier.

Yang Xun's sharp eyes were fixed on Goode, wondering if what he meant or whether he was tempting him, but disappointed, Goode also looked at him calmly, and did not reveal any inner thoughts.

Neither of them spoke, just watched quietly, and after a while, maybe they felt that they would not gain anything if they stared at it any longer, Yang Xun opened his mouth to break this silence, "Is this what the third brother meant, or is it just your own thoughts?" ”

"This is my own idea, the third master just let me inform you." This is Goode's answer.

"You said that many brothers are willing to follow me to set things right, if I take someone to deal with the eldest brother, what about the third brother, after all, you belong to his command?" Yang Xun asked.

"Of course, the three masters are handed over to you to dispose of, and we are willing to obey the orders of the four masters." Goode thought to himself, you don't have to worry about the three masters, he has already been killed by my own hands yesterday.

"When did you join the cottage, and why have I never met you?" Yang Xun asked suddenly.

"I defected last year and was assigned to the three masters, but I have heard the brothers in the right camp mention it many times, saying that the righteousness of the four masters is a rare hero." Goode didn't know why Yang Xun suddenly asked such a question, so he could only make up a paragraph to answer.

"No wonder, a lot of people came here last August, and you must have come at that time. The third brother asked for orders to guard the right peak after replenishing the soldiers at that time, and before I knew it, I hadn't seen him for almost a year, and it was rare that the third brother still remembered the friendship at the beginning, and sent you over to deliver the letter. Yang Xun said with emotion.

When Gude heard this, he knew what Yang Xun might have discovered, and he learned from the people who surrendered that the third master was Youfeng, who had only gone this year, and Guo Yue, the fifth master, had been guarding there before.

He looked up at Yang Xun and saw that the other party was also looking at him fixedly, and his heart suddenly had a score. He opened his mouth and replied: "You remember wrong, the fourth master, I only followed the third master to guard the right camp this year. ”

"Oh yes, I misremembered!" Yang Xun pretended to be mistaken, patted his head and said.

"It's okay if you, the nobles in charge, forget things. I just don't know what you think about this messy matter, I can help you contact the brothers around you, and once you do something, the brothers can cooperate with you. Seeing that this flickering had passed, Goode hurriedly said and pulled the topic back again.

"I have to think about this matter carefully, if I attack my eldest brother, I will not be an unrighteous person. He can be unrighteous, and when I am different from him, I can't. ”

"However, have the four masters ever thought that the current big boss is still a brother to you? The king regards the minister as a sibling, and the minister regards the king as the heart; The monarch regards the minister as a dog and a horse, and the minister regards the monarch as a countryman; The king regards his ministers as mustard, and the ministers regard him as an enemy. Now it is the injustice of the big boss that comes first, and if you start first, it cannot be regarded as unrighteousness. On the contrary, the brothers need your guidance to bring our cottage back to the way we used to trust each other. Seeing that Yang Xun was still hesitating, Goode continued to persuade.

"Have you read a book?" Yang Xun did not answer Goode directly, but asked him.

"The small one is that I have read books for a few years, but it is useless, I just hope to help the four masters set things right and rebuild the order of our cottage."

"Who are you, as far as I know, there are very few literate people in the cottage. Among the people who defected last year, I have seen all the literate ones, but you are not among them. Yang Xun stood up, pulled out the long sword on the weapon rack next to him, and pointed at Goode and asked.

"Hey, I was still seen by the four masters, but I didn't expect that reading books is also a shortcoming." Goode spread his hands and said jokingly.

"Hmph, you're right, if you're somewhere else, you might have been deceived. But this is Huanglongzhai, a den of thieves, you can read and write, which is indeed your biggest flaw. Say, who are you, and what is my purpose in coming here? Yang Xun sneered and drank.

Gude tidied up his shirt, hugged his fist and saluted Yang Xun, and replied: "Reacquaint yourself, in Xia'anping County, Lieutenant Gude, I have seen the four masters." ”

"Are you from the government? Don't you know that this is a den of thieves, and if I give the order, you will be killed on the spot, and no one will be able to help you to avenge it. Yang Xun looked incredulous, and at the same time threatened, he thought that Goode was still lying to him.

Goode took out the seal letter of the county lieutenant of Anping from his bosom and threw it over, saying, "Of course I know, but don't the four masters want to know how I got here?" ”

"Then tell me how you came in, don't tell me that the third brother surrendered to the government and let you in." Yang Xun put away his sword and returned the seal letter to Goode, and said with a sneer.

"Of course not, the three masters will not surrender, and they can't surrender now. Just yesterday, I have led people to capture the right peak of Sheep's Head Mountain, and the three masters of Huanglongzhai were killed on the spot in yesterday's confrontation, as for the 2,000 people in your right battalion, except for those who died in battle, everyone else has already disarmed and surrendered. I infiltrated under the leadership of the surrendered men. Goode knew that since the other party found out that he was disguised, he would talk openly and honestly.

He now needs to tell as much as possible about the advantages he has, anyway, it is impossible for Yang Xun to personally go to the left and right peaks of the front to find out the truth. And this is more conducive to his next negotiations with Yang Xun.

"The left and right battalions of this village are located on the top of the mountain, and there is only one road suitable for the attack of the brigade, you say that you have captured the right peak, do you think I will believe it? Who doesn't know that the mountain road between the two peaks is a natural barrier in this village? Yang Xun thought that Goode was cheating on himself, and he also believed that Youfeng could not be taken down so easily.

"The four masters must have forgotten that the county town needs to pay money and grain every six months, and I think you should recognize this knife." Goode untied his waist and threw it to Yang Xun, which he took from the three masters, and was different from the other bandits in the cottage.

Yang Xun took the knife, pulled it out and looked at it, and fell silent for a moment. He returned the knife to Goode and said, "In this way, I think the left and right battalions should be in your hands by now. ”
