Besides, Gu Badi, who stayed in the village, saw that Gu Batian had not returned for a long time, and there was no news, so he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, restless, and turning around.

At this time, a villager came to report: "The woman surnamed Mu on death row is about to die, do you want to find a Lang Zhong to heal her?" ”

Gu Badi frowned: "The eldest brother ordered that she should be sacrificed alive to the third child, but she can't be allowed to die, it's so cheap for her, Lao Tzu will go over and take a look." ”

They went to death row, a large windowless room where the men were about to be executed.

As soon as the door of the prison was opened, there were bursts of cries and begs for mercy from inside, and there were really many people on death row, these people were covered in blood, and the wounds on their bodies were not treated in time, and the suppuration and infection emitted a disgusting stench.

Mu Xiao'e was lying on a pile of straw, her face was pale, her body was red with blood, her breath was weak, and a small 'prisoner' was taking care of her and helping her check her wounds. When the little 'prisoner' saw the cell door opened, he hurriedly retreated in a corner, trembling with fear.

Gu Badi glanced at the frightened trembling 'prisoner', didn't speak, walked straight to Mu Xiao'e, saw that Mu Xiao'e's breath was weak, and he was really dying, so he scolded impatiently: "Mom. , they are all about to die, and they have to waste Lao Tzu's herbs" turned back to Zhai Ding and said: "Call the old immortal Zhang Langzhong over and let him save this person's life, otherwise he will die." ”

Zhai Ding responded and took the order.

Gu Badi stared at the little man viciously and said, "You are responsible for taking care of this girl, if she dies, Lao Tzu will make you die a good death." ”

The little 'prisoner' hurriedly echoed: "The villain obeys!" ”

Gu Badi turned around and walked out, and the door behind him slammed shut.

Let's put aside for the time being how Zhang Langzhong bandaged Mu Xiao'e and didn't mention it for the time being, and said that in the ancestral hall of Gujiazhai, after Yu Xiang introduced the situation of Gujiazhai, he asked: I intend to attack Gujiazhai and never suffer in the future, what do you think? ”

"Support the owner of the village!" The crowd shouted in unison. At this time, Yu Xiang was already a god-like existence in the minds of everyone.

At this time, several people helped a trembling old man to separate the crowd and walked in front of Yu Xiang, and the people in the hall were suddenly silent.

The red lady stepped forward and said, "Jiugong, why are you here?" ”

The name of the person who came was Mu Jicheng, who was over 90 years old, the oldest and oldest man in the village, and he was highly respected, and everyone respectfully called him Jiugong.

Jiugong said: "I heard my children and grandchildren say that the owner of the village led everyone to win the battle and saved the lives of the whole village, and he is a great hero, and I specially come to thank the owner of the village." ”

After Jiugong finished speaking, he looked around and raised his voice: "My Mu Jicheng's sons and grandchildren, kneel down for me for the owner of the village, thank the owner of the village for his life!" ”

As soon as the words fell, there were more than thirty people kneeling down in the hall.

Yu Xiang hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down and gave a big salute to Jiubo, and then said to everyone, "Everyone, please get up, please get up!" ”

The crowd stood up. Yu Xiang ordered someone to bring a chair and asked Jiu Bo to sit down.

Jiugong said: "I just heard that the owner of the village is going to attack the thief's den? ”

Yu Xiang replied respectfully: "That's right, get rid of the evil!" ”

Jiu Gong said: "I support it from the bottom of my heart, if I don't uproot the enemy, sooner or later there will be another disaster." Although my old bones can't kill the enemy with the owner of the village, my children and grandchildren will definitely follow the owner of the village, let them be sent, and die without regrets! ”

Yu Xiang bowed and thanked Jiugong, he turned to face everyone and said: "If there is a war, there may be sacrifices, this attack on Gujiazhai, I hope everyone is willing to participate in the war, and if you are willing to attack Gujiazhai with me, please raise your right fist." ”

Yu Xiang raised his right fist, and everyone in the hall raised their fists in unison.

"Okay, with everyone's support, I have a ninety percent chance of defeating Gujiazhai." Yu Xiang said confidently.

Everyone listened to the owner of the village said that there was 'ninety percent sure of the destruction of the ancient village', the heart was overjoyed, yesterday when the siege of the ancient Batian said that there was 'eighty percent sure of winning', everyone was still half-convinced, the owner of the village said that there was ninety percent certainty, at this time everyone was convinced of Yu Xiang's words, and everyone was suddenly enthusiastic.

Yu Xiang continued: "This attack on Gujiazhai, only the young and strong men in the village need to participate in the battle, the only seedlings in the family do not fight, and if there are many brothers in the family, one person must be left without fighting, as for who to stay, it is up to the brothers in the family to agree. ”

"Before this expedition, everyone had to eat a full meal of war, stew the captured horse, and the whole village ate the expedition meal outside the ancestral hall and drank the practice wine."

Everyone got the order and got busy, the men set up pots and chopped wood, and the women cut vegetables and cooked. Outside the ancestral hall, people shuttled, busy and orderly.

Yu Xiang saw the scene of everyone in full swing, and felt deeply cordial, he had seen such a labor scene when he was a child in the countryside, and since he arrived in the big city, he has never seen such a united and hot scene.

Yu Xiang returned to the house and asked Zhang Erhu to introduce the origins of several people who had the intention of returning to obedience, most of these people were from poor local families, had practiced some martial arts, and were forced by life to work under Gu Tianba.

Yu Xiang asked, "Who has a life in their hands?" ”

Zhang Erhu replied truthfully: "Most of them have them, and there are small ones, they work under Gu Batian, and he doesn't have any orders to keep you at all, he will regularly let everyone kill people and practice their hands." ”

Although Yu Xiang was very satisfied with Zhang Erhu's confession, he was still very shocked in his heart, in this era, is human life really like a mustard? Take a living person to practice?

Yu Xiang asked Zhang Erhu: "Attacking Gujiazhai, what do you think should be the way to fight?" ”

Zhang Erhu said: "Gujiazhai is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it should be outwitted, if so, a strong attack will inevitably cause great casualties." ”

Yu Xiang said: "Outwitting the best, can you find a way to open the gate of the wall?" ”

Zhang Erhu: "I'm not 100% sure of this, Gu Batian has not returned for a long time, Gu Badi must be suspicious, and he must strictly guard the walled gate." ”

"Would the Gu Ba Di think that the Gu Ba Tian army would be annihilated?" Yu Xiang asked.

Zhang Erhu replied: "He would never have thought of this, Gu Batian's martial arts are strong and resourceful, he has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for decades, rarely encountering opponents, and Gu Jiazhai worships Gu Batian as a god up and down, always thinking that he is invincible, this time the whole army was wiped out, he would never have expected it." ”

"Well, then, go and bring the brothers who were intent on surrendering, and I will see them." Yu Xiang commanded.

After a while, several people were led to the hall with their hands tied upside down.

Yu Xiang ordered Zhang Erhu to loosen the rope for them.

Several people immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed again and again, and kept saying: "Thank you for the grace of the owner of the village not to kill, we are willing to submit to the owner of the village and never give up." ”

Yu Xiang helped them up and said: "I have heard Zhang Erhu say about you, in this troubled world, my conscience is in trouble, and in order to survive, I have to do something against my conscience, which is understandable." ”

Yu Xiang continued: "Zhang Erhu and the things you did with Gu Batian before will be written off from this moment on, no matter whether it is good or bad, it will never be pursued in the future." But from now on, what you do must be in a chivalrous spirit, in accordance with the established rules, and there must be no disobedience. If there is a violation, the punishment for both crimes will be combined, and there will be no leniency, do you understand? ”

"The little one understands, from now on, be a man again! Never a bandit! Then they said, and bowed again. I am extremely grateful to Yu Xiang in my heart, from this moment on, they have drawn a clear line with the past and can be an upright person.

At this time, Goudan pulled his father and broke in, and asked Yu Xiang to reason: "Owner of the village, everyone is going to participate in the war, why don't you let me go, besides, my father also agreed, don't believe you ask my father!" ”

Daddy Tu hurriedly said: "Yes, the owner of the village, you just let the dog participate in the war, although he is the only seedling of my family, it is true, but the village is such a big thing, our family has not participated, and someone will poke the backbone in the future." ”

As soon as Yu Xiang was about to speak, the three Orion brothers also broke in, and the three brothers were arguing over who to go and who to stay, and no one wanted to stay, so they wanted to find Yu Xiang to comment.

Yu Xiang looked at the red lady for help, the red lady understood, she said: "You go to the ninth prince, the ninth prince said that whoever is allowed to go!" ”

A few people thought it was feasible, so they went out and went to Jiugong.

Yu Xiang was very satisfied, and solved such a thorny problem in one sentence, worthy of the Red Lady, Yu Xiang asked the Red Lady to sort out a list of fighters, and soon, the Red Lady sorted out the list, but saw that there were more than 60 people on the list, and the eldest of the three brothers of Dog Egg and Orion was not on the list.

Yu Xiang made detailed arrangements for Zhang Erhu and several other people, and completed the deployment of the details of the battle.

"Okay, let's start the table right away!" After Yu Xiang finished speaking, he followed Ah Niu to the outside of the ancestral hall.

The aroma of horse meat permeated the entire village, and dozens of square tables were placed around the ancestral hall, and the scene was spectacular. The women were busy setting up the dishes for each table, and there were some vegetables on the table, and there was a large pot of horse meat on each table, some in wooden basins, some in copper basins, and some in clay pots.

Of course, Yu Xiang's main table uses a copper basin. Sitting at the main table, Yu Xiang's heart has a lot of emotion, every time he eats together, he always sits in the corner of the side table, today, he sits on the upper seat of the main table with copper basin horse meat, his status is noble, a silk otaku spent two days, changed his seat, changed his identity and status.

Seeing that everyone was seated, Yu Xiang passed on the order that those who participated in this battle were not allowed to drink, and the rest could drink happily.

Before the feast, Yu Xiang held a simple sacrificial ceremony in the hall of the ancestral hall to worship the villagers who had just died in battle.

After the worship, Yu Xiang returned to his seat, announced the opening of the feast, everyone dined, fragrant horse meat, fragrant wine, and children's cheerful laughter, painting a relaxed map. After last night's baptism of blood and fire, everyone has no fear of the upcoming battle.

After eating the war meal, Yu Xiang led everyone to set off, and Yu Xiang deliberately led the team to the gate of Gujiazhai at the time of E.

There were already sentinels who went to report to Gu Badi, saying that someone was coming, Gu Badi stood on the wall and looked down, only to see that a pair of torches came towards the gate of Gujiazhai, and a group of people carried a person towards the village, and there was a woman in red clothes in front of her, she was a red lady who was pretending to be captured.

Zhang Erhu's miserable cry reached Gu Badi's ears far away: "Second master, open the door quickly, the big boss is seriously injured, he is dying, he needs immediate treatment!" It's too late. ”

Gu Badi stood on the wall, and saw a group of people walking in the shadows below, with the help of the firelight, he recognized that the person in front of him was a red lady, and it was Gu Batian lying on the stretcher. Gu Batian didn't move, as if he was dead.

Seeing that Gu Batian was injured, Gu Badi was suspicious, afraid of fraud, and did not dare to open the gate rashly. He shouted on the wall: "Zhang Erhu, what's wrong with the big boss?" ”

Zhang Erhu cried and mourned: "The second master, the big boss has been hit by the dart of the mysterious person, and there is still a breath of air, call Zhang Langzhong, maybe he will be saved." ”

Gu Badi still couldn't rest assured and didn't dare to open the door easily. He said to Zhai Ding, "Go find Zhang Langzhong and let Zhang Langzhong go down to see first." ”

After a while, Zhang Langzhong came, grabbed Zhang Langzhong's collar in a domineering manner, and said viciously: "You go down to see the injuries of the big boss, and you must report to me truthfully, if there is a half-false, I will make your whole family die a good death." ”

Zhang Lang's body was like a sifting chaff, but he was only praised, and he was put down from the wall by the hanging basket.

Zhang Langzhong stepped forward, took a look with the help of the firelight, and saw that Gu Batian was dead, and he was about to shout, but Shengying had whispered in his ear: "Don't be afraid, as long as you don't shout, we will never hurt you." Zhang Langzhong suddenly understood what was going on, it turned out that he was using Gu Batian's corpse to deceive the gate of the village.

Zhang Langzhong has long hated Gu Batianyi and bandits.

At this time, Gu Badi shouted on the wall: "Zhang Langzhong, how is the injury of the big boss?" ”

Zhang Lang was calm and calm, and shouted to the city: "The second master, the big boss still has a breath, open the gate quickly, I will wait for rescue, and if I delay, I am afraid that I will not be able to save it." ”

Zhang Erhu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he didn't expect Zhang Langzhong, who was usually timid and afraid of things, to be so calm and calm at a critical time, and he couldn't help but admire it in his heart.

Gu Badi listened to what the honest Zhang Langzhong said, and immediately relieved his heart, he asked people to open the gate of the village, and he hurried forward with a few villagers.

Gu Badi came to Gu Batian's corpse, and was just about to take a closer look at Gu Batian's situation, when he suddenly felt a chill on his ribs, he was completely defenseless, and a sharp knife had already pierced his heart from under his ribs.

Gu Badi suddenly understood what was going on, he glared at Zhang Erhu and said, "You treat you well, why do you harm me?" ”

Zhang Erhu didn't answer, he twisted it with his hand, and the sharp knife crushed Gu Badi's heart, Gu Badi's eyes were round, and he immediately died on the spot.

Shengying saw all this in his eyes, and when he saw Zhang Erhu so vicious, he felt very uncomfortable.

When the rest of the people saw that Gu Badi was dead, they immediately slashed and killed the nearby villagers with their swords, and quickly rushed into the village. Subdued the guards and opened the gate.

Yu Xiang, who followed closely, led everyone and rushed into the stockade. Kill a few bandits who tried to resist on the spot.

After guarding several entrances and exits of the village, Yu Xiang ordered people to shout in the village: "Stay at home, don't go out, violators will be killed!" ”

Seeing that the general situation had gone, he disarmed and surrendered one after another. There are also some thieves who usually do evil, knowing that it is impossible to escape death, he tried to break out of the village, but they were like lost dogs at this time, without fighting spirit, only a few rounds, they were killed by Shengying and Li Gang's big swords.

The rest of the people in the stockade saw the thief being killed through the crack in the door, and knew that they would die if they went out, so no one dared to open the door and come out.

Gujiazhai was quickly controlled, and Yu Xiang passed down an order to strictly prohibit indulgence. Fire. Burn. Rob, rape.*.captive. Omitted, indiscriminately kill innocents, and violators will be beheaded.

The crowd obeyed the order, and there was no fighting. Smash. Grab the chaos.

The servants in the stockade were happy from the bottom of their hearts, judging from the situation of this team controlling the stockade, they were afraid that the officers and soldiers would come, and there were no such rules, they saw hope from this team, and felt that a ray of sunshine was shining out of the thick dark clouds, and this day was about to change!
