The topography of Zhaoshan County is like a burden, the north and south ends are large, the middle is small, from east to west, it is also 130 miles away.

The surname Zhao is the largest surname in Zhaoshan County, and it is also the only family in the county.

It is said that in such a situation, the Zhao family should say nothing in the county, but this is not the case. In the past ten years, with the progress of thought, coupled with the fact that the Zhao family was too domineering in the past, which caused great dissatisfaction, under the severe suppression of the government and the opposition of most of the businessmen and pawns in the county, the shape of the Zhao family has deteriorated. It can be said that they are almost on the verge of becoming the target of public criticism.

In the past two years, thanks to the alliance with Zhang and Wang, and the formation of the business circle, the current decline has been barely stabilized.

As a member of the Zhao family, who doesn't want the Zhao family to regain its former glory. Therefore, for those who secretly support the bandits to make trouble for themselves, they hate them to the core. It was with the covert support of some big forces that the Silla family village was able to take root, and naturally it was among the targets of their hatred. It's just that they have been secretly fighting with those opponents, and they haven't pulled out their hands to clean up the bandits one by one, and the county security regiment in the county town is controlled by the county magistrate, so they can't find their names, so they don't attack the bandits for a while.

Last year, Zhao Tianming thought about asking the Wang family to come over to help eliminate these bandit villages, large and small, just because he was afraid of causing a joint counterattack by County Magistrate Zhou and others, and Zhao Jiazhai started as bandits after all, so he had to take care of the reputation of the rivers and lakes, and did not open his mouth to the Wang family. Now that the Wang family has taken the initiative to help them exterminate the Silla family, he doesn't care about the grievances between the Wang family and the Silla family, as long as the Silla family is finished...... It's a win-win situation for all. Naturally, he was willing to cooperate: while ordering food to be prepared, he announced that a friend was coming to visit. Secretly, he notified a few henchmen, prepared manpower, and once the Silla family was finished, he immediately went up to pick up the bargain and occupy it.

In the faint moonlight, white is stone, black is earth, and bright light is puddles.

Marching on horseback at night is actually not much faster than running, but it is better than saving the body.

"How long will it take to get to Zhaojiazhai?" After running more than 160 miles in one breath, the sky has turned from black to gray, and it is about to dawn. Wang Shihua looked back and saw that everyone was sweating on their foreheads, and the war horses under their crotches were also panting, all of them looked like they were overconsumed, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious, so he could only ask the guide he found from Guanhu Village.

"The head of the family, after this big bend, you can see Zhaojiazhai. After walking two or three miles, you will arrive at Zhaojiazhai. ”

"Ergouzi, tell the brothers sù, cheer me up. When I arrived at Zhaojiazhai, I invited everyone to drink wine and eat meat and take a good rest. ”

Nature got an eager response.

At this moment, thirty-four meters in front of him, two torches suddenly lit up. In the light of the torches, a group of people on horseback, spears, stopped there.

"It's my big brother Shihua?"

"It's me. Ha... Ha... But I'm Brother Zhao Chuan. ”

"Sure enough, it's Big Brother Shihua. Brothers, light the torches and greet the distinguished guests..."Zhao Chuan happily dismounted and walked quickly to this side with a few people. On both sides of the avenue behind him, every five or six meters, stood a pair of spearmen. With a command, the spearmen lit their torches and raised them high. At a glance, in the darkness, like the back of a long dragon, it extends to the gate of Zhaojiazhai. And Zhao Tianming, with his family and a group of subordinates, also walked to the gate to wait, and hundreds of women and men were ready to dance to welcome them...... This is the highest welcome courtesy for our guests.

Wang Shihua and the others hurriedly dismounted, walked towards Zhao Chuan with a fist, and laughed: "It's grand, it's too grand, Shihua doesn't dare to be it..."

"Our two families are allies, and we are brothers, so we don't dare to greet them." I haven't seen him for more than half a year, Zhao Chuan is much calmer and more sophisticated: "The brothers have come from afar, all the way hard, Xiaozhai has already killed pigs and sheep, prepared a little wine to chat about their hearts, just waiting for the distinguished guests to come." ”

After a few words of greeting, Wang Shihua and Zhao Chuan took the lead and walked towards Zhaojiazhai. Every time they pass by a pair of spearmen, they will fire a shot into the sky.

Zhaojiazhai is much more atmospheric than Qinghuazhai. Qinghuazhai is more than three miles away from the avenue, and has to turn over a mountain, and Zhaojiazhai has a tendency to change to the tiger sitting on the ground, and directly occupies the whole mountain, and the gate is less than forty meters away from the side of the avenue.

As soon as Wang Shihua approached, dozens of women on both sides of the avenue danced flowers, and hundreds of men on the right danced to welcome the guests. Passing through them, I saw hundreds of girls holding wine bowls, singing Tujia welcome songs, and holding barricade wine.

After everyone drank the wine, the girls retreated, and Zhao Tianming stepped forward with his subordinates and family. smiled: "It's rare for Brother Shihua to come here, so I have to have a few more drinks with my brother today." ”

"Take the liberty to disturb, I hope Brother Zhao will forgive me."

"That's right. Our two families are allies, and we are good friends in private, so if you can come to Xiaozhai as a guest, it will give me Zhao Tianming's face. ”

Next, introducing each other, Wang Shihua gave gifts, Zhao Tianming asked his subordinates to greet the guests, and he pulled Wang Shihua to take the lead towards the cottage. Wang Shihua hurriedly said: "Brother Zhao, junior brother still has something important to hurry up next, this is ......"

"If it's a big thing or not, isn't it just a small village? Don't worry, according to what your telegram said, whether it's food and drink, or horse guides, I have enough for you, brother. It has been a hard work for you to come from afar, and it is not too late for the brothers to have enough to eat and drink and rest before you start. ”

Seeing Zhao Tianming say this, Wang Shihua could only follow him helplessly.

Along the way, although Wang Shihua said intimacy with Zhao Tianming, he secretly wrote down the pattern of Zhaojiazhai in his heart, especially the surrounding environment.

An hour later, in the hall located at the top of the mountain, Wang Shihua, who was full of wine and food, was thinking about saying goodbye, but unexpectedly, Zhao Chuan sent a map and said with a smile: "Brother Shihua, this is the topographic map of the Silla family village that has been prepared for a long time. ”

Wang Shihua got up and thanked him, but after taking the map, he didn't open it on the spot, but said with a smile: "Our two families have cooperated closely in recent years, we are both friends and brothers, if there is anything I Wang Shihua can help, please speak up." ”

"Brother Shihua, I don't know what your plans are after you conquer the Silla family?"

Knowing that you have something to do, but still procrastinating, this is asking for something. You can't talk to them anymore, otherwise, it is very likely that the Silla family village will get the news and be prepared. Although there are only a few dozen people there to defend, prepared and unprepared cannot be treated equally, and Wang Shihua will be happy if there is one less Wang family member killed. Therefore, he said bluntly: "Thanks to the kindness of the Zhao family, the little brother understands it." If I wasn't in a hurry, I would definitely stay here for a few months to observe the demeanor of the Zhao brothers. ”

Seeing Wang Shihua picking out, Zhao Tianming smiled and shouted to everyone: "Look... I'll just say, everyone is their own people, Brother Wang is also a cheerful person, what's the matter, everyone opens the skylight and says bright words, knocking on the side, but seeing the outside. ”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Zhao Tianming smiled at Wang Shihua at this time: "Brother Wang, then I will be blunt?" ”

"Brother Zhao just talks."

"Shihua, you also know the situation of our Zhao family in Zhaoshan County, so Lao Zhao, I can't help but be a little worried, I don't know if you want someone or the village this time?"

The dignitaries show that they are turning favors to take revenge; If you want a stockade, you will grab the territory. Although the Wang family is an ally, they are the most likely to be hated if they cross the line.

"Dignitary..."Wang Shihua replied with a cheerful smile. Then, seeing that the Zhao family was relieved both openly and secretly, he smiled and said: "Brother Zhao, don't worry, although I, Wang Shihua, am young, I still understand this truth, and I will never cross the line." It's just that the younger brother is not familiar with the place here, and he hopes that Brother Zhao will help. ”

"Huh... Ha... I didn't say it, I want someone, a gun, or something else, as long as you open your mouth, I will do my best to satisfy. ”

Now that it has been put on the table and made it clear, there is no need to merge, and everyone is naturally still allies. As soon as Zhao Tianming's words fell, Zhao Chuan immediately said: "Brother Shihua is righteous, and our Zhaojiazhai must also be worthy of our friends......

Wang Shihua didn't know what he was going to say, so he had to look at him with a smile.

"Brother Shihua, there are six or seven hundred people in this Silla village, relying on the dangerous terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, very arrogant. With all due respect, the people you brought here, although they pretended to be sick as much as possible, and everyone was a good man, but the number was a bit small. If Brother Shihua doesn't dislike our Zhao family, I am willing to personally lead the troops to listen to your dispatch. ”

Are you afraid that my speech will not be counted?

Seeing that Wang Shihua's brows were slightly furrowed and his eyes were lowered, Zhao Chuan hurriedly explained: "Brother Shihua, we all know that you are a hero who spits on a nail and will never break your promise. The little brother has no other meaning, it is completely for your consideration, this Silla family village is really difficult to attack......"

"Brother, don't worry, I really don't pay much attention to the dozens of people in Silla Jiazhai."

"Dozens of people?"

Wang Shihua smiled and nodded, and out of the corner of his eye, he found that all the Zhao family members present were stunned, not like they were pretending, and immediately came to their senses: feelings, they still don't know the situation in the Silla family village, thinking that Luo Dali's main force is still in the village.

Zhao Tianming frowned, didn't speak, glanced at Zhao Chuan, and Zhao Chuan immediately ran out.

Taking advantage of this time, Wang Shihua briefly talked about the matter, and Zhao Tianming and the others were all stunned: these dozens of old, weak, sick and disabled people were guarding the village, and they were wiped out with their own fingers. knew this, and there was still a need to ask the Wang family for personal favors...... Don't you have to repay this favor?

Soon, two gunshots rang out outside. You don't have to look at it to know that Zhao Jiazhai must have sent people to monitor the Silla family, and such a large transfer of people and horses naturally can't be hidden, and now that it has been concealed, that is to say, the person in charge of this news is either bought by Luo Dali, or has an unclear relationship with the Silla family village to help conceal it, and these two gunshots must have shot people.

Sure enough, after a while, Zhao Chuan walked in and reported: "Daddy, it's this damn Luo Tianyou who concealed it and didn't report it." ”

Zhao Tianming nodded, raised his hand to Wang Shihua and hugged his fist, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Wang, let you see it." ”

"It's okay, the forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds. Brother Zhao manages thousands of people, and it is normal for one or two crooked ones. It's like my Wang family, since I became the head of the family, I have killed two or three batches with heavy hands. Scold... Heh..."

Soon, under the personal gift of Zhang Tianming and others, Wang Shihua and others came to the gate of the cottage, told Zhao Tianming about the reinforcements, and asked him to prepare some wine and food......
