"Big brother, it's not as serious as you say, is it?" Tang Biao rarely saw Zhu Tong get angry, but this time he seemed to have really done something wrong, which made the eldest brother feel the danger of destroying the village.

"Biaozi, the reason why Taishan has not used troops against us now is because after all, Su Xiu has just arrived in Taishan for only a year, and many places need to make big changes, plus two consecutive battles in the past half a year, there is still a certain amount of pressure on the current Taishan, but with his rectification, these problems will be solved sooner or later, and we will become more and more difficult to mix in Taishan."

"Doesn't that mean we're safe now?"

"Biaozi, if you think about it carefully, a few months ago, he was not afraid of Python Cloud Village, but now he is afraid to fight us? Not doing it doesn't mean that he doesn't dare to do it, he just wants Taishan to recover more production and army combat effectiveness. But now that we've messed with him, we can't say anything if we don't do it again, so we have to return the horse this time. ”

To be honest, Tang Biao was not very convinced, he felt that Zhu Tong's courage was getting smaller and smaller, but Zhu Tong was really good to him, a few years ago, Zhu Tong's own brother had a dispute with him, and Zhu Tong reprimanded his own brother without saying a word. Although there is a suspicion of buying people's hearts, Tang Biao is the kind of character who obeys whoever treats him well, facing Zhu Tong, although Tang Biao complained a little in his heart, he still obeyed Zhu Tong's arrangement.

"Biaozi, take me to see the person you escorted back."

"Okay, big brother."

Soon, Tang Biao took Zhu Tong to the dungeon. When Zhu Tong saw the imprisoned Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping, he quickly asked people to untie the ropes on their bodies, and personally stepped forward to make amends: "Let a few people suffer, my subordinates are not sensible, and I hope that Mr. will forgive me, I don't know what Mr. is called?" ”

As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling face when you stretch out your hand, although they were robbed of their horses, and their subordinates suffered heavy casualties, but now they come to make amends, and it is not good to ignore them.

So Su Shuang replied with an expressionless face: "Forgive me and don't dare to be, under Su Shuang, this is my partner Zhang Shiping, and everyone else is our guard." If there is anything in charge, just say it clearly, don't use it. ”

"It turned out to be Mr. Su and Mr. Zhang, I don't know where the two gentlemen's war horses are going?"

"It's not a secret, these war horses are Taishan County Shou Su Xiu Su wanted, I heard that a few months ago Su Da talent defeated Python Cloud Village, I didn't expect that there were cottages that dared to rob his things, I had already asked people to report the news, presumably now Lord Su has already sent troops to Laiwu."

"Misunderstanding, this is purely a misunderstanding, Mr. Su, this is not the place to speak, please move to the lobby, Rong Zhutong explains." When Zhu Tong heard it, it was really something that Taishan County wanted, so he was even more firm in his judgment just now, if he really ate this batch of war horses, it is estimated that the entire Dragon Falling Village will not leave chickens and dogs.

Although Su Shuang did not come to Mount Tai to do business, but since he took over Su Xiu's business this time, he naturally wanted to inquire about Mount Tai's situation. Zhu Tong, Su Shuang, knows that the master of Descending Dragon Village, one of the three major cottages in Taishan, is the same level of bandit boss as Python Cloud Village a few months ago.

To be honest, Su Shuang is not absolutely sure that Su Xiu can send troops, after all, the siege of the city by bandits and the attack of the mountains by officers and soldiers are two different concepts, and this dragon village is also the base camp that people have been operating for decades, how can it be so easy to take? Even if it is won in the end, it may pay a considerable price, and Su Shuang doesn't know if this war horse is qualified enough for Su Xiuhua to fight for it at such a big price.

"Then bother Zhu to lead the way." After thinking about it carefully, no matter whether Su Xiu would send troops to rescue him or not, he had to drag Zhu Tong and buy time for Su Xiu. Besides, now Zhu Tong doesn't look like he's going to make trouble, so Su Shuang is not so afraid.

Coming to the lobby, Zhu Tong and Su Shuang Zhang Shiping sat down as guests and hosts, and Zhu Tong said: "Two gentlemen, today's incident is indeed a misunderstanding, the people under him originally went down the mountain to fight the autumn wind, who expected to collide with the two gentlemen, Zhu Tong is here to make amends with the two, and I hope that the two adults will not remember the villain, so it is okay to expose it?" ”

"Master Zhu, let's not talk darkly, just say anything, we are businessmen, we don't want to be angry, if there is really any misunderstanding, just make it clear."

Su Shuang knew very well that this matter was not a misunderstanding, more than 2,000 people went down the mountain to fight the autumn wind, who would believe it? But now that they are still in the hands of Zhu Tong, they can't offend Zhu Tong too harshly, and he knows the truth of Mingzhe's self-preservation very well.

"That's the case, since the two gentlemen are sending horses to Su County, they must have a lot to do with Lord Su, I will send the two gentlemen and the war horse down the mountain, I hope that the two gentlemen will say a few good words in front of Lord Su, this matter should not have happened, and I will compensate for other losses, okay?"

Su Shuang didn't expect that Su Xiu's deterrent power in Mount Tai was already so heavy, and it made the big boss of the Dragon Descending Village, one of the three major villages, so afraid.

"It's easy to say, but Su and Master Su are just general friends, and it is unknown whether Master Su will ignore Su."

"As long as Mr. Su is willing to intercede, Zhu Tong will be very grateful, and if Master Su is unwilling to pay attention to Zhu Tong, he will not blame Mr."

……

After sending Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping to count the damage of the war horse and his men, Zhu Tong called Tang Biao to the lobby.

"Biaozi, let me ask you, would you be willing to surrender the officers and soldiers?"

"Big brother, how can you say such a thing? What good is it for officers and soldiers, how can we be happy to occupy the mountain as kings, want to drink and drink, want to eat meat and eat meat, and be a Rausch officer and soldier? ”

"Biaozi, to be honest, I thought the same way before. But since this Taishan came to Su Xiu, I slowly feel that this person is not simple, and his future is definitely more than just one state and one county. It can be seen that the combat strength of the Taishan Army has improved in just half a year, and I wonder if it's time to find a good way out for my brothers. ”

"Big brother, the brothers are willing to follow you, so I didn't think that there was no way out, now the Taoist officials in this world are more ruthless and poisonous than bandits, we are at least robbing with open knives and guns, and the officials are stumbling behind their backs, causing many families to be ruined. This Su Xiu may be a good official, but who can guarantee that he will not change, even if he will not change, then can he fight so many officials of this big man? ”

"But Biaozi, what I want to say is that there are only two paths in front of us now, either surrender or perish. I don't want to watch my brothers die innocently, so I have to surrender, since it is surrender, we have to choose a master who I think is not bad, at least now it seems that this Su Xiu is our best choice. ”

"Big brother, is there really no other way?"

Zhu Tong shook his head: "Biaozi, I'm not afraid to tell you, now many cottages have isolated us, I haven't figured it out before, now it seems that these cottages are also considering surrendering or even surrendered, once the war starts, we don't have any chance of winning." ”

"Big brother, I'm sorry, Biaozi caused you trouble." Tang Biao is not a fool, Zhu Tong has already said it so clearly, and Tang Biao also realized that he had made a big mistake in this matter.

"It doesn't have much to do with you, it's just a little earlier for us to have a showdown with the officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers will find us if there is no such thing."

"Biaozi, go and talk to your brothers, if you are willing to surrender with me, go with me, and if you don't want to, we won't force it, give them a little entanglement, let them fend for themselves, I hope you don't run into them on the battlefield in the future." After speaking, Zhu Tong sat down on the chair as if he had used all his strength.

……

Su Xiu ordered all the troops and horses to rush to Laiwu non-stop, this time to rescue Su Shuangzhang Shiping, Su Xiu brought 7,000 people, most of them were veterans who had experienced the battle a few months ago and surrendered in several cottages.

After a rapid march, they finally arrived in Laiwu County at dusk. Seeing that a battle might happen at any time, Su Xiu immediately asked the troops to reorganize on the spot, bury the pot and cook, and send scouts to patrol the surroundings in order to deal with the confrontation that might occur at any time.

"Report - a large group of men and horses have been found in the front, and they are coming from the direction of Laiwu in the direction of our army."

"Who are you looking for? How many people are there? ”

"The sky is too dark, and the place is too flat, for the time being, I can't tell whose soldiers and horses are, and there are about three or four thousand people."

"Probe!"

"Three or four thousand people, it seems that Zhu Tong is almost pouring out, is this going to fight me to the death?" The corners of Su Xiu's mouth rose and smiled slightly.
