Zhao Dahai suddenly fell into Zhao Xiaozi's ear and whispered, "Since you are my nephew, if I let you betray Woniu Mountain, are you willing?" ”

Zhao Xiaozi didn't expect such a question at all, he was stunned, turned his face to look at Zhao Dahai, thinking that he was joking, and said at that time: "You won't." ”

"What if I will?" Zhao Dahai stared at Zhao Boy deadly, and there was no joke in his eyes.

Zhao Xiaozi took a step back, touched the hilt of the knife with his hand, looked at Zhao Dahai carefully, and said firmly: "Even if the sea is dry and the rocks are rotten, I will not betray Woniu Mountain, please be aware of this." ”

Zhao Dahai took a few steps back, and said softly in his mouth: "Very good, very good, you are very loyal." But there was no praise in his tone, but there was some helplessness and regret.

Zhao Xiaozi saw Zhao Dahai retreating, and he felt a sense of relief for no reason, and was just about to turn around and go to the front line, when he suddenly felt a pain in his heart, and looked down in surprise, a shiny knife tip protruded outside his heart, it was the tip of the knife, which was the tip of the Black Tiger Army standard saber that he was most familiar with.

I wanted to shout, but I couldn't make a sound anymore, and I tried hard to look back to see who had done it, but I had no strength, and looked at Zhao Dahai in surprise, Zhao Dahai shook his head helplessly, and there was a deep sadness in his eyes.

"Why—what—" Zhao Xiaozi finally asked with difficulty, in fact, he already had the answer in his heart: "Why-to-betrayal-brothers-"

"Because, the cottage is finished, and if we want to live, we must surrender and recruit peace." Zhao Dahai's eyes suddenly lit up.

Zhao Xiaozi looked at Zhao Dahai who was dressed in an official robe, and then looked at the well-behaved pipe hat that Zhao Dahai had worn on his head, and understood everything, when he fell, he said to himself: "Could it be that being a dog official, being a dog is better than being a man?" ”

I don't know if he asked Zhao Dahai or himself.

Killing Zhao Xiaozi, Zhao Dahai's long-suppressed guilt suddenly disappeared, and the original irritability was swept away, and he helped the hat on his head again, but after thinking about it, the hat was worn out, it was already small, so he reached out and took it off, but he looked at it again and again, and then fell to the ground fiercely.

At this time, the incident of Zhao Xiaozi being killed was seen by the brothers in front, and they didn't believe their eyes looking at Zhao Dahai, and when Zhao Dahai threw his hat on the ground, everyone asked in a whisper: "Deputy commander, why?" ”

Zhao Dahai laughed and said, "No, Zhao boy should be killed." for he will betray me. "He said betraying me instead of betraying us, at this time, everyone's heads hadn't turned around, they just looked at Zhao Dahai dumbfounded.

Zhao Dahai shouted an order to the dozens of close brothers who were already surrounding him: "Order all brothers, gather, I have something to say." “

These dozens of brothers were deliberately accepted by Zhao Dahai when he was in Xiaozhai, as if he was Zhao Dahai's personal soldiers, and everyone has long known Zhao Dahai's thoughts, because when he was in Xiaozhai, Zhao Dahai has received the shopkeeper who delivered goods to and from the cottage more than once, and everyone also knew that although the cottage was good, but after all, there was no future, and these people were excluded and guarded together because Zhao Dahai was excluded and guarded by the cottage, and there was injustice and righteousness here, so they followed Zhao Dahai one-sidedly.

When Zhao Dahai received the shopkeeper for the first time, although he didn't read Qian Tong's book, Qian Tong's words were deeply rooted in his heart, he was originally an official, why did he follow the thief? lost the hereditary hundred households for no reason, and lost the official body that others couldn't grab for no reason? Shame and reproach the ancestors of the underground?

It's not for the brother and sister-in-law who treats him like a brother, or for this Lu Shi who treats him like a brother?

Now, my brother is dead, leaving only three children and my sister-in-law Xiaoya, and then the stupid brother who has no city, this is his last relative in this world.

And although these relatives were rescued by Lu Shi, can they really live?

No, looking at the Ming Dynasty, there is darkness, but the officials and troops are still strong, so strong that they can't shake half a point at all, although the landlords and old wealth are hateful, but they are united that is a big mountain, and it is not at all something that thousands of men, women, old and weak Lying Niu Mountain can carry.

For these relatives of their own, the road ahead is not bleak, but hopeless.

If you want to live, live with dignity and be rich, you must take another path.

His stupid brother took out means that ordinary people couldn't reach in the reorganization and training of the cottage, showing boundless wisdom and means, which made him see the capital, yes, it is capital, as long as there is this capital, where can the world go, it is much stronger than being this deputy commander who is not embarrassed or embarrassed, and is tired and tired.

Zhao Dahai deliberately took the stringer, the rice fat shopkeeper did not observe the cottage's drill drill once, more than once in front of him to show Lu Shi to build a gun saber, more than once let him see his own training results, every time the little shopkeeper saw, the little shopkeeper was shocked to drop his jaw, Zhao Dahai every time he told him to increase the means of brother invention, let the little shopkeeper praise the gods.

And every time he goes back and forth, the conditions for himself will be raised by one liter, and the reward for his brother will be raised.

Counting up, he has gone from a hundred households in the health office to a deputy thousand households, and his brother has also been promoted from the small officials in the capital to the five grades.

After the battle of Xikou, he even included himself in the border army and became a guerrilla, and his brother was favored by the governor Yang He, and nominated the governor's mansion Wupin James, and by the way, even the three boys were already worth a hundred households, which can be regarded as an explanation of his own brother to the dead Zhang family.

As for the ideal of his stupid brother, it is very good and beautiful, but there is always a distance between the ideal and the reality, it is just a painting cake on the horizon, if you want to eat it in your mouth, you don't know when the year of the monkey and the month of the horse, especially in this troubled world, I don't know if I can have the life to eat.

In order to realize such a world, it is not impossible, according to the wisdom and ability of the stupid brothers, in the future, they will open a government and build a government, govern one side, and then have their own military power in their hands, and pacify the local bandits, at that time, the two brothers will work together, and they will be able to create such a world.

I also once asked for an official position for Tianxing and other brothers, but the result I brought back was not good.

The reason is that this rice fat has been passed through the sky, and the emperor has issued a holy decree, and the head of the Woniu Mountain cottage must be led to keep the official hat of this Yansui place.

I can't say, if you want to dye the red robe on your body, you need blood and human life, and it's okay to think that Tianxing is okay for you, but starting from the old thing of the third uncle, down to Chen Ce and Zhao Xing, and what bullshit Captain Geng Kui, he is extremely vigilant about himself, and treats his deputy commander as a thief and thief, which is a good thing, now, okay, then you will be the stepping stone of our brothers, the more the better.

Yesterday, his cronies brought in the matchmaker again, and told him on the spot about the arrangements for the official army, and the governor personally supervised the battle, transferred several counties to sign the Ding military households, as well as the soldiers and horses of the Yansui Dusi, and there were 5,000 governors' standard battalions, and set up heaven and earth in front, waiting for their own brigade to drill.

This arrangement has made Zhao Dahai completely desperate, this time the official army has made a desperate effort, and there is no chance to escape.

However, the matchmaker still gave Zhao Dahai a big surprise, and at that time he took out two brand-new letters of appointment in his arms, one was his own, and the governor of the three sides was personally under him, and he was actually under the guerrilla general of his own border army, and he led the people who followed him to surrender, and the promotions arranged by his subordinates were all handled by themselves, as long as they were reported.

There is also a confession, which is Lu Shi's, and it is clearly written on it that it is the concubine who is the chief political senator and walks directly under the governor's tent.

The condition is that when the fire in the south is burning tonight, let go of the pass, and at the same time persuade Lu Shi to surrender.

Okay, in the eager eyes of his cronies, Zhao Dahai slapped his thigh at that time and agreed with the matchmaker to recruit An.

The first thing Zhao Dahai did was to take the elm-like Zhang Jia Dalang, tie it up and put it aside, mainly because he was afraid that he would make a mistake, and if there was a good one, he would be sorry for the old brother.

And then there is Zhao Xiaozi, that kid has no heart with himself, so he stares and thinks about working hard for the cottage, and there is a group of guys with the same mind as him under him, kill him, and he must be killed on the spot to solve the trouble.

Those brothers who were preparing for war at the front were recalled one by one, and looked at the deputy commander Zhao Dahai inexplicably, this is all imminent, why do you give up the defense and hold any meeting?

"Now, I declare that I, Zhao Dahai, as the deputy commander, order everyone to lay down their arms."

This order immediately caused an uproar among everyone, when did it happen, and everyone had to lay down their weapons?

One of the brothers asked in a loud voice: "Deputy commander, you can't lay down your arms, the border army will attack immediately." ”

"Lay down your arms." Zhao Dahai said sharply again.

"Why?"

Zhao Dahai pointed to the corpse of Zhao Xiaozi on the ground and said loudly: "Zhao Xiaozi betrayed us, I don't know who is with him, and now in the case of internal and external troubles, everyone must lay down their weapons and let me know who still obeys my orders." ”

At this time, the brothers who retreated saw the deputy captain Zhao Xiaozi who fell in the dust, everyone coaxed the next child, Zhao Xiaozi betrayed the cottage? How can it be.

"Whoever puts down his sword and gun is not a traitor, if he does not put down his sword and gun." Zhao Dahai shouted to the dozens of brothers standing behind him: "Come on, kill those who don't put down their swords and guns on the spot." ”

This severance is like a death sentence, and it is a test of a person's loyalty.

The first to put down the knife and gun was the five hundred new attached troops, they didn't know the reason, they didn't know who Zhao Xiaozi was, they only knew that Zhao Dahai was the deputy commander of the cottage, and it was instinct to listen to military orders.

Then there were those cavalrymen, hesitantly putting down their swords and guns, hoping to prove their innocence, and also hoping to solve this matter as soon as possible, only a dozen of Zhao Xiaozi's affectionate brothers quietly hid behind the crowd and hid a few short blades.

Putting away the swords and guns, Zhao Dahai suddenly announced loudly: "I, Zhao Dahai, now announce as a guerrilla general of the Ming Dynasty, accept the imperial court's recruitment, and let go of the border military robes to pass the customs." ”
