Lu Qing thought to himself: "This joint defense team is so powerful, in this troubled era, maybe it can do something big, it's the same everywhere, listen to the words of the fourth Liu Youtian, that Zhao Guohua is also a character, hearing is false, seeing is believing, just let me contact it personally, if Zhao Guohua is really a character, then I will defect to him"

Thinking of this, Lu Qing said: "Big brother, you don't think it's better to be like this, I'll go talk to that Zhao Guohua, touch his hole cards, and when I come back, how about you make plans?" ”

Listening to Lu Qing's words, Wang Hu hesitated for a moment, looked at several leaders and said, "What do you have to say, brothers?" ”

"Nope! No! ......" the second leader Chen Dashan and the fifth leader Liu Fangfei also said. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"What about the fourth? What's your opinion? Seeing that the four leaders Liu Youtian didn't speak, Wang Hu asked.

After looking at a few leaders, he remembered the agreement with Zhao Guohua, and shook his head.

At noon, Zhao Guohua was thinking about the next move in the big tent, although he broke through the pass quickly in the morning, he still let a few bandit leaders escape, and he was arranging for people to interrogate the captured small leaders, so as to find the fastest path to the main altar of Qinglongzhai. At this time, a guard came in and said, "Report to the captain, the three leaders of Qinglongzhai are asking to see you outside the tent." ”

"Let him in." Zhao Guohua said.

Lu Qing walked into the big tent and saw a man in his thirties with a well-proportioned and slender figure looking at him with blazing eyes, and on either side were ten standing straight joint defense team members, carrying steel knives at their waists, standing with their hands down.

Seeing this, Lu Qing knew that this man was Zhao Guohua, the captain of the Yongxin County Joint Defense Brigade, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Sinner Lu Qing pays a visit to the captain. ”

Zhao Guohua didn't speak, just looked at him coldly.

Lu Qing's heart was "plopping", for fear of being dragged out and killed, the more he thought about it, the more scared he became, and cold sweat flowed from his nervous forehead. Looking at Lu Qing's nervous appearance, Zhao Guohua was very proud, he had read books on psychology in his later life, and knew that looking at Lu Qing without speaking like this would form a great psychological pressure on him.

After a while, Zhao Guohua said coldly to Lu Qing, who was kneeling in front of him: "What is the matter with you coming to see me?" ”

"Sinners are willing to join the Joint Defense Brigade." Lu Qing lowered his head and said.

Looking at him with a straight face, Zhao Guohua asked, "Don't you feel a little late to surrender at this time?" ”

"This ...... This ......" Lu Qing was speechless.

"You arranged the interception of the goods in Mingfeng Village and the attack on the escort team......" Zhao Guohua asked another question.

"Huh? ......" Lu Qing collapsed to the ground all of a sudden, waiting to be dragged out and beheaded.

Seeing his frightened appearance, Zhao Guohua said: "You stand up, I won't settle old accounts." ”

Hearing this, he stood up as if he had escaped death, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"You came to vote for me, do you have a vote?" Zhao Guohua asked.

Hearing this, Lu Qing hurriedly said, "I am willing to persuade the big leader to release Miss Meng and the captured officers and soldiers, and return the ransom received. ”

Zhao Guohua asked unhappily and angrily: "That's all?" ”

After thinking about it, Lu Qingyi gritted his teeth and said, "As long as the adults don't attack anymore, my cottage is willing to offer 100,000 taels of silver." ”

"Leader Lu, do you say that I, Zhao Guohua, am the one who is greedy for money? Hahahaha......" Zhao Guohua laughed out loud after speaking.

"Lord Zhao, is it ...... Do you have to drive us to the end of our lives? Lu Qing said sadly.

Looking at him, Zhao Guohua said, "Why should I kill you all? What good will it do me to drive you all out? ”

"Oh? What does that mean? If you don't kill or let go, you don't want money and you don't ......want to die," Lu Qing was confused, and he looked at Zhao Guohua stupidly.

"Hahahaha...... Come to see the seat for Leader Zhang and serve tea. Zhao Guohua laughed and ordered.

After drinking tea, waving his hand and retreating from the guards, Zhao Guohua and Lu Qingmi talked......

After talking for a while, Zhao Guohua sent five members of the joint defense team to send Zhang Qing out of the camp and escort him to a short distance in front of the gate of Qinglong Village before going back.

Seeing that Lu Qing had returned to the village, several leaders hurriedly greeted him, and the big leader Wang Hu asked eagerly: "Third brother, how is the matter going?" So what does Zhao Guohua mean? ”

Looking at a few leaders, Lu Qing smiled and said: "This Zhao Guohua is really good, he has promised not to attack the mountain again, and he will open up to us." ”

"Did he really agree? Are there any conditions? Wang Hu asked in disbelief.

"yes, what conditions does he have? Third child, say it quickly, I'm in a hurry," the second leader, Chen Dashan, also shouted.

After taking a sip of tea, Lu Qing said slowly: "Of course he is conditional......"

"What conditions? Do you want us all to surrender and go down the mountain for the people?" asked Liu Youtian, the fourth leader.

Glancing at him, Lu Qing said: "Yes and no, he has several conditions, the first is to immediately send Miss Meng to the joint defense brigade and hand it over to them, the second is to immediately transfer all the captured officers and soldiers to the joint defense brigade, and the third is to return the 200,000 taels of ransom originally collected to them." This fourth rule is to obey his command in the future, and no longer harass the people, forcibly seize the people's property, and still less intercept passing merchants, rob money and hurt people. Speaking of which, Zhang Qing didn't say anything.

After hearing the above four points, all the leaders did not speak, and the four pairs of eyes looked at the big leader Wang Hu.

Wang Hu looked at the brothers, thought about it and said: "The first three can be promised to him, but the fourth one is difficult, after all, more than 1,000 brothers in my Qinglong Village have to eat and drink every day, and without silver, this cottage can't be maintained." ”

Hearing this, Lu Qing said: "Regarding this problem, Zhao Guohua also said that he can provide 2,500 taels of silver for the cottage every month in the future to maintain the expenses of the cottage." ”

"Really? Did he really say that? Third child, aren't you joking with your brother," Wang Hu was so shocked that he almost jumped up.

Lu Qing nodded solemnly and said, "I don't think he is the one who lied to us." ”

"Fourth, you have seen Zhao Guohua, do you think what he said is credible?" Wang Hu asked.

Liu Youtian looked at Wang Hu, then at the others, and said, "I believe in Zhao Guohua, and I also think that he will not lie to us." ”

"Okay, since the two brothers said so, I agreed, damn it, I'll take a gamble, the second, the fifth, if you two agree, the eldest brother will bet on this......"

"We have no opinion!" The second leader, Chen Dashan, and the fifth leader, Liu Fangfei, said in unison.

After the discussion, everyone started to act according to the division of labor, the five leaders Liu Fangfei sent Miss Meng to the joint defense brigade, and the rest of the leaders went to release the officers and soldiers captured by the cottage. Many of the captured officers and soldiers who had been forced to build fortifications on the hill were gathered, and the officers and soldiers sat separately on the ground, and each was given two steamed buns and a bowl of water.

After these officers and soldiers finished eating, several leaders called all the officers and soldiers into the Juyi Hall, and saw that the Juyi Hall was full of minions with knives and guns, and more than ten officers thought that the bandits were going to slaughter them, and Qianhu Lu Dacheng scolded: "You damned bandits and bandits, you dare to slaughter officers and soldiers, Lao Tzu will not let you go, kill it, Lao Tzu is not afraid, and he will be a good man after 18 years." ”

Hearing his words, the third leader, Lu Qing, said: "Lu Qianhu, who said that he was going to kill you, did we say this?" With that, he pointed to the leaders of the house.

Several leaders looked at Qianhu Lu Dacheng like idiots, and did not speak.

Looking at the expressions of several leaders, it didn't look like they were going to kill someone, Lu Dacheng was relieved, he looked at Lu Qing and asked suspiciously: "You didn't kill us, why did you call us here, and you arranged so many swordsmen and gunmen?" ”

"It's not that I'm afraid that you won't understand our good intentions and have a misunderstanding." Lu Qing said in a flat tone.

"Good intentions? What kind of intentions? Lu Dacheng asked.

With a faint smile, Lu Qing said, "Our big leader has decided to let you go down the mountain and let you take the troops back." ”

"Huh? …… Yes? …… Yes? ......" The captured officers were stunned when they heard this.

A hundred-household officer arched his hand and asked, "Is this leader telling the truth?" ”。

"Of course it's true, Lao Tzu's words are more than you officers and soldiers." Wang Hu said loudly.

"Hear what our big boss said, do you still have doubts?" Liu Youtian, the fourth leader, said.

"Believe it! Believed! Thank you leaders for your grace of not killing, we will never dare to offend your leaders' tiger power again in the future......" More than a dozen captured officers thanked each other.

"That's it! , you go first, wait at the bottom of the mountain, your soldiers will go back to their respective homes when they arrive, and Qinglong Village will not care about dinner. ”

"Hahahaha...... The officers of the dozen or so captured officers laughed, bowed to the four leaders in the room, and then ran out of the justice hall with happy faces, as if they were afraid that the leaders would regret it.

On the bumpy and rugged mountain road, more than a dozen minions escorted a small sedan chair to the bottom of the mountain with difficulty, a gorgeous carriage followed by an empty car, a red-clothed female general rode on a horse and followed the small sedan chair, followed by several female soldiers. The road is not easy to walk, the car is bumpy "clang", and in some places you need someone to carry the car over.

This group is the team of the five leaders Liu Fangfei escorting Miss Meng to the joint defense brigade, since Miss Meng was forcibly taken up the mountain, Liu Fangfei placed her in her own residence, so Miss Meng was not bullied.

"This female king, where are you sending me? I beg you not to sell me, I will ask my father to give you a lot of money...... Woo woo woo ......" Meng Yujing said Miss Meng and cried.

Miss Meng thought that this bandit woman was going to sell herself to the Qinglou as a prostitute, and when she thought that she was a prostitute of a prefect's daughter, she couldn't help but feel sad and burst into tears.

"Don't cry, who said they were going to sell you? I'm going to send you back to your house......" Liu Fangfei shouted angrily.

"Lady King, what you said is true?" Miss Meng stopped her tears, poked her head out of her pride and looked at Liu Fangfei and asked, with a look of disbelief.
