Chapter Ninety-Seven: Zhao Anzhong

At this time, the straw curtain at the door was lifted, and a middle-aged man in his early thirties rushed in, hugged Zhu Lei, and said loudly: "Brother, I heard that you have died in the chaos, I didn't know how to explain to Ah Ping, I didn't expect to be able to come back alive, it was really Mingzun's blessing." At this point, the man's eyes were already slightly red, and he was about to cry.

Zhu Lei broke away from the other party's arms and said with a smile: "Ah Xu, you are also a five-foot-long man, and you are not a girl, why do you have to cry!" ”

The man laughed when he heard this, shook his head and sighed: "You don't know how many people have died in the Japanese army in the past few days, hey, the piles in the crematorium look like small hills, and they look like panic, who knows when they will-" Speaking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head.

Zhu Lei was overjoyed when he saw this, and stretched out his hand to pull Luo She'er and said to Li Xu: "Ah Xu, I was able to come back this time, thanks to this Luo brother." Then he said to Luo Sheer: "This is my brother-in-law Li Xu." ”

"Thank you, Brother Luo!" Li Xu hurriedly saluted Luo She'er, he noticed the person next to him, looked at it for a while, and asked in a deep voice, "What is the name of this brother?" Who is it? What do you do for a living? ”

"Under the surname Luo Mingshe'er, a native of Liaodong, he was an errand under the command of Zhou Juncheng, the soldiers and horses of Jeju in the Great Song Dynasty!"

The air in the grass shed froze suddenly, and Li Xu took half a step back, as if he was about to call for his subordinates who stayed outside the door to come in. But seeing Luo Sheer's calm appearance, his movements stopped again, and asked Zhu Lei: "What's going on?" ”

Zhu Lei smiled bitterly and replied, "San Lang." Prison Zhou asked me and Brother Luo to come to you to discuss the matter of Zhao'an! ”

Li Xu's face changed greatly, his eyes moved on the faces of Zhu Lei and Luo Sheer, and after a while, he grabbed Zhu Lei's arm and walked out of the door, and ordered his subordinates casually: "You two keep an eye on the person inside, don't let him run around." He and Zhu Lei walked to a secluded and uninhabited place, and asked in a low voice: "You and I are both children of Mingzun, how can you do such a thing and invite here?" ”

"Mingzun didn't let us rebel with Fang La!" Zhu Lei smiled: "Besides, my life is in the hands of others, how can I not listen to the official's orders?" ”

Li Xu listened to Zhu Lei's voice outside the painting, and said with a smile: "I see, you lied to that official!" ”

"Saburo. I just promised to bring this Rosher to you. As for whether to accept Zhao'an, that's your business, and the official also knows, how can you say that I lied to him! When Zhu Lei said this, he sighed: "Anyway, I also brought the people." It's up to you whether you recruit or not. San Lang, you can think about it slowly. There are a lot of roads, anyway, you don't have a mouth to eat here! ”

"Not bad!" Li Xu also understood, and called the henchman on the side and said, "You send that guest to my ship." He is a good servant, and he wants to give him everything, but he can't let outsiders see him! When the henchman was far away, he turned his head and asked with a smile: "Brother, do you know how many officers and soldiers there are in this Xiuzhou City, and how is the defense?" ”

Luo Sheer was lying on the couch, under him was a thick brocade quilt, covered with a fox skin felt, not far away from a beast head incense burner beast mouth flowed a wisp of cigarettes, if it weren't for the slight shaking under him and reminded himself that he was in a boat, Luo Sheer simply thought that he was living in a rich house.

"These Manichae thieves will really enjoy it!" Luo She'er snorted coldly, since he saw Li Xu that day, he was taken to this boat, he stood up and walked towards the cabin door, a young man stood up and said with a smile: "If Lang Jun has anything you want, just open your mouth, it's windy outside, it's better to rest in the cabin!" ”

Luo She'er replied angrily: "I am not muddy, and the wind can blow it off." It's so stuffy inside, let me go out and breathe! ”

The man didn't let go, and said with a smile: "There are many people outside, so that outsiders are afraid of causing trouble when they see it, and then the leader will be punished again, and please ask Lang Jun to bear with him!" ”

Seeing that the other party's attitude was extremely resolute, Luo She'er had to snort coldly, returned to the couch, and secretly hated: "It must be this Zhu Lei's bad idea, knowing that I am from the Northland and don't know water, so I will be detained on this broken boat." If you can escape this time, you will definitely make that guy look good! He lay on the couch, sniffing sandalwood, thinking about how to persuade Li Xu to recruit an for a while, and then worried that if Li Xu refused to recruit an and kill him, he gradually fell asleep with the slight shaking of the ship.

I don't know how much time passed, Luo Sheer suddenly felt that someone was calling his name, shaking himself gently, he couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly sat up.

"Lang Jun, no, Captain!" Li Xu carefully presented a steaming handkerchief with both hands, and said with a smile: "The people who have been waiting on the boat for the past few days are still agreeable, if there is any neglect, the villain will immediately drag down and break his leg to vent the anger of the captain!" ”

Luo Sheer took the handkerchief in a daze, wiped it casually on his face, and then sobered up a little, seeing Li Xu and Zhu Lei standing in front of him, Zhu Lei was okay, Li Xu seemed to have changed a person, and his face was full of gruesome smiles.

"It's all right, it's just that I've been on the ship for a long time and I'm a little depressed!"

"It's all to blame for the villain's lack of thoughtfulness!" Li Xu smiled bitterly: "It's just that there are a lot of eyes and ears in the army, and the villain is afraid that the captain will be discovered by the thief and ruin the big thing of Zhao'an!" ”

Luo She'er couldn't help but feel refreshed when she heard this, and jumped down from the couch: "Leader Li, you have decided to recruit An!" ”

"Not bad!" Li Xu replied: "It's just that this matter has a lot to do with it, and the villain can't give a reply to the captain right away, and the people who have been busy changing the key positions to the letter these days can give you an answer now, and please forgive the captain!" Speaking of this, Li Xu lifted the front of his robe and was about to bow down. Luo She'er hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him: "Leader Li should not be polite, this kind of thing should indeed be cautious, what a crime!" ”

"Tai Lieutenant has such a large amount, it is really a blessing for us!" When Li Xu said this, he made a gesture, and the rest of the people in the cabin walked out, leaving only him, Zhu Lei, and Luo She'er, and he lowered his voice and said: "The villain has a plan this time, and he can return to these tens of thousands of rebels!" ”

It turned out that Li Xu had the idea of making grass on both sides of the wall, but he didn't expect that he got an astonishing news from elsewhere this morning, the official army had captured Shezhou two days ago, and directly threatened the peasant army's hometown of Bangyuan Cave in Qingxi County, and the peasant army under Xiuzhou City had already fallen into the dilemma of neither advancing nor retreating. So he immediately decided to accept the recruitment of the official army, and was ready to turn against each other and give his family a lot of wealth. This Li Xu is also a scheming person, knowing that if there are more people who know about such things, it will be easy to leak out, so he decided to start an incident alone, set fire to the camp that night, and attacked the officials and soldiers inside and outside, and regarded the heads of these tens of thousands of peasant troops as their own vote!

When Luo She'er heard this, he asked with some confusion: "Leader Li, it's not that I can't believe you, it's just that the camp of tens of thousands of people has a wide range and there are gaps between them, how can it be so easy to light a fire?" ”

When Li Xu heard this, he said with a smile: "Taiwei doesn't know, the villain burns not only the camp, but also the grain and grass next to the ship and the wharf, as the saying goes, 'the army will die if there is no savings', as long as the ship and the grain and grass are burned, the Mani thief will be self-defeating!" Speaking of this, he saw that Luo She'er still looked a little unconvinced, and said in a low voice: "The villain set fire to the fourth watch tonight, and the officers and soldiers in the city can wait until after dawn to go out of the city to pursue." ”

"It would be best if that was the case!" When Luo She'er heard this, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and after dawn, the defenders naturally saw it clearly on the city tower, and they were not afraid of what tricks Li Xu played.

Since everything was decided, Li Xu immediately ordered two shrewd and capable subordinates to escort Luo She'er back to the city, and before parting, he specially selected a few gifts to present to Zhou Ping and Wang Ziwu respectively to atone for his sins.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is already evening. The atmosphere in the peasant army's tent was very heavy, and the leaders of all walks of life in the tent had solemn faces, looking like a catastrophe was coming.

"Rank, you have also heard that Shezhou fell, the two leaders Chen 14 and Shi Sheng were killed in battle, and thousands of parishioners were martyred. And we are still under this Xiuzhou City, what do you say should be done? Fang Qifei, who was sitting at the top, asked in a deep voice.

There was silence in the tent, everyone had a sad look on their faces, only the Zheng Demon King on the side still had that cynical smile on his face, Fang Qifei sighed and asked, "Demon King, do you have an idea?" ”

"The idea? No! Demon King Zheng replied with a big grin: "Lao Tzu didn't think that he would have a complete body into the ground when he followed the Holy Father this time, anyway, there are hundreds of dog officials who died in the hands of Lao Tzu, and there is no loss if he dies!" Happy, happy! ”

Hearing Demon King Zheng's answer, Fang Qifei couldn't help crying and laughing, he still knew a lot about the details of this group of people in the tent, pretending to be a ghost and robbing houses can be said to have their own strengths, but no one can compare to this Zheng Demon King in the ability to go into battle and drive everyone to fight, but he didn't want the other party to answer like this.

At this time, a person next to him asked: "Demon King, in terms of the ability to fight, no one here is as good as you, what should I do to give a quasi-word, don't say these frustrating words!" ”

Demon King Zheng sneered: "Since everyone is following the Holy Father, don't think of any perfect strategy, only by surviving in death can there be a way to live, according to the meaning of a certain family, everyone will start to storm this Xiuzhou City from tomorrow, even if you can't take it, you will kill the guards in this city and dare not go out of the city." Otherwise, if you retreat like this, tens of thousands of people will be in chaos, and you will have to let the family drive the sheep like last time! Speaking of this, Demon King Zheng stood up and threw the wine jars on several cases to the ground: "I don't care what you do, anyway, the two thousand people in the hands of my Demon King Zheng are going to be thrown under this Xiuzhou City!"
