Zhang Degao and Li Maocai naturally didn't see the expressions on the faces of Qian Yuanshan and others, and after the two of them left the camp of the "Flying Dragon Pioneer Camp", they traveled all the way and rushed back to the "Purple Stone Village" before evening. After the two entered the village, they went straight to the "Juyi Hall" to see Shi Song, who was waiting for news there.

In the "Juyi Hall", although Shi Song, who listened to the reports of Zhang and Li, was relieved, his face did not show it, and he still had a calm expression. On the one hand, he ordered Zhang and Li to go down to rest, and on the other hand, he ordered people to prepare gold.

At this time, a young man sitting at the top of the table stood up, clasped his fist at Shi Song and said: "The big boss, the 'Feilong Village' was the master of the Wei family, and my 'Zishi Village' were called brothers to each other, and there was never any fight. Even after changing his family in the first two years, he has always been with me 'Zishi Village' well water and does not violate the river water. This time, it suddenly raised troops to attack for no reason, which is already a violation of the rules of the green forest. Even if the big boss does not lead troops to fight, he should defend the village, and he will fight against it, how can there be a reason to send a thousand taels of gold instead. If this matter spreads, my 'Zishi Village' will definitely be ridiculed by my friends on the road as cowardly and afraid, and I only know how to buy safe soft bones with money. Besides, we know almost nothing about the current head of the 'Flying Dragon Village', how can the big boss conclude that the other party will definitely withdraw the troops after receiving the money. ”

"The third is right," another older man chimed in, "Since this 'Flying Dragon Village' changed its name and changed its family, its style of acting has become completely different from before. Not only did the weapons they use and the clothes they dress more and more bizarrely, but they haven't 'traded' since.

A group of thieves who fell into the grass did not rob the merchants, did not plunder the people, and stayed in the cottage all year round and did not come out, which itself makes people suspicious. Moreover, according to the spies' report, the 'Flying Dragon Village' soldiers at the foot of the mountain are all strong and strong, with red faces, obviously they have lived quite well in the past few years, and they have not sat on the mountain because they no longer do 'business'. This shows that in the past few years, there have been people who have been paying for them, so that they don't need to go down the mountain to do 'trading' anymore.

No one will do a loss-making business, and those who pay to support them will naturally have a plan. According to the brothers, some time ago, the 'Flying Dragon Village' suddenly attacked the 'Baihua Village', not just to settle the grudge between the two sides for many years. According to the minions of the former 'Baihua Village' who defected to our village, the people of the 'Feilong Village' took away tens of thousands of pieces of money, gold, silver and jewelry after sweeping away the 'Baihua Village'. Therefore, the brothers thought that the purpose of the 'Flying Dragon Village' attacking the 'Baihua Village' should be to seek wealth first and revenge secondary. And our 'Zishi Village' has no grievances with him, and his intention to send troops to Baima Mountain this time will not have any other possibilities except for seeking wealth. After all, our cottage is the most abundant in the villages near the left, and it is far from being comparable to the 'Baihua Village' that calls itself 'the first village in Youyun'. Therefore, the younger brother thought that what he was trying to do was definitely not a thousand taels of gold that could be sent. ”

It was Shi Song's two sworn brothers who spoke - Zhang Keyong and Zhao Chengen. The two of them didn't agree with their eldest brother's practice of spending money to sell Ping An from the beginning, and at this time, seeing that Zhang Degao and Li Maocai had already negotiated the terms with each other, they planned to do Zuihou's persuasion efforts before the real transaction.

"That's why the foolish brother sent someone to make peace with them, and took the initiative to send a thousand taels of gold," Shi Song defended himself, "Since they are here to seek wealth, they will naturally achieve their goal after obtaining money." With these gold foundations, they can go back to their big bosses, who would be willing to fight desperately to attack the stockade. Even if they come here to do more, this thousand taels of gold is not a free gift, at least we can conclude from this what the other party's purpose is, so we can prepare in advance and deal with it to the end. ”

Shi Song's words were not unreasonable, so his two righteous brothers didn't say anything more, and after saluting Shi Song, they left the "Juyi Hall".

Outside the "Juyi Hall", the two glanced at each other, showed a wry smile at the same time, and sighed at the same time. Zhao Chengen said to Zhang Keyong: "Second brother, it seems that the eldest brother is really old, and he will no longer live up to his ambitions back then, and he only wants to guard his little family background, so that his son can go down the mountain and become a rich man in the future." Now, even a 'Flying Dragon Village', he doesn't dare to take it seriously, and he wants to break the fortune and avoid disasters. ”,

Zhang Keyong shook his head and said: "Brother, don't underestimate the 'Flying Dragon Village', its strength is not the same as the original 'Five Tiger Village'. A big village like 'Baihua Village' was wiped out by it within two or three days, which shows that it is by no means easy to match. The reason why the foolish brother opposes the eldest brother spending money to avoid disasters is mainly because he is afraid that this transaction is a trick played by the other party, and its purpose is just to explore the reality of our side. If we agree to the deal, it proves that we have no bottom in our hearts and are afraid of them. Then, the next step is probably to be confident and bold to attack my cottage. ”

Although Zhao Chengen agreed with Zhang Keyong's statement, in the face of Shi Song, who had already made up his mind to break the fortune and avoid disasters, both of them knew very well that their persuasion would not have any effect. The helpless two people sighed again, and then turned around and walked towards the part of the village they were responsible for with anxiety, intending to urge their minions to step up the defense to prevent the people of the "Flying Dragon Village" from making a surprise attack.

Fortunately, there was no abnormal situation throughout the night, and the next morning, Zhang Degao and Li Maocai said goodbye to Shi Song, took dozens of soldiers, and escorted 1,200 taels of gold out of the "Purple Stone Village" and went to the "Feilong Village" camp.

When Zhang Degao and Li Maocai arrived at the "Feilong Village" camp, they were warmly greeted by Qian Yuanshan and others. After the two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, Qian Yuanshan ordered his subordinates to check the gold, and invited Zhang and Li to the Chinese military tent to talk. The two were not in the mood to chat with Qian Yuanshan and others at this time, so most of the time Qian Yuanshan and others were talking, and Zhang Degao and Li Maocai were basically perfunctory at other times except for emphasizing that "Feilong Village" should be trustworthy a few times.

It didn't take long, and after the 1,200 taels of gold points were finished, his subordinates came in and reported to Qian Yuanshan, and the number was exactly the same as the previous day.

Hearing this, Qian Yuanshan stood up and said to Zhang and Li: "Shi Dangjia is really a kind person, and the name of 'benevolent and righteous Shizhai Master' is not in vain. ”

Zhang Degao emphasized again: "Of course, the name of benevolence and righteousness of my village owner is known to everyone on the green forest road. It's just that now the owner of my village has fulfilled his agreement, and I hope that the money owner can keep his promise and immediately set up camp. ”

"This is nature," Qian Yuanshan patted his chest and said, "Qian Mou will order the camp." ”

After speaking, Qian Yuanshan immediately ordered the guards around him to pass the order, and the whole battalion immediately sorted out their bags, pulled out the camp as quickly as possible, and left the Poplar Valley.

With Qian Yuanshan's order issued, the entire camp immediately became lively. All the soldiers were in action, packing their bags, tying up their weapons, and dismantling their tents, and they were very busy.

Seeing that the other party acted so quickly, the stones in Zhang Degao and Li Maocai's hearts were half gone. However, out of precaution, they did not leave immediately, but continued to stay in the barracks. Waited until the other party finished packing up, lined up in a neat queue, and under the leadership of Qian Yuanshan and other leaders, slowly walked out of the Poplar Valley, and traveled north along the mountain road for more than a mile, and then the two said goodbye to Qian Yuanshan and walked back. Moreover, after saying goodbye, these two people still did not return to their own village immediately, but stood in place for a long time, watching the minions of the "Flying Dragon Village" climb over a small mountain in front of them, confirming that the other party was indeed really pulling out the camp, not fooling themselves, and then turned around and went to the "Purple Stone Village".

In addition, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, when Zhang Degao returned to his cottage, he also specially sent two more clever minions to stay behind to monitor the movements of the "Flying Dragon Village" team. And he also instructed the two minions that once the other party has any abnormal behavior, they must immediately return to the village to report, and there must be no mistakes. The two minions nodded yes again and again, and then quietly followed behind the "Flying Dragon Village" team, secretly monitoring their every move.

After arranging the surveillance soldiers, Zhang Degao and Li Maocai rushed back to the "Zishi Village" with other minions. After entering the village, Zhang and Li went directly into the "Juyi Hall" like last time, and reported the relevant situation to Shi Song, who was waiting for news there.

I heard that the people of "Feilong Village" have indeed set up camp and headed in the direction of Xiayunling, and a stone in Shi Song's heart has fallen to the ground. He said to Zhang and Li: "The two brothers have worked hard in the past two days, you wait and go back to rest first, and the owner of this village will be rewarded later." ”

Hearing this, Zhang and Li hurriedly humbled a few words, and then saluted Shi Song again, and then turned around and walked out. But before they could reach the door of the "Gathering Hall", one of the two minions they had arranged to monitor the "Flying Dragon Village" team ran in out of breath. ,

This minion soldier entered the "Juyi Hall", didn't bother to explain to Zhang and Li, ran directly to Shi Song, knelt down on one knee and reported: "Those people from the 'Feilong Village' left the Baiyang Valley and went north only two or three miles, so they suddenly turned around and went south, came straight to the direction of my Dazhai, and re-established their camp on the edge of the purple pebble beach five miles away from Dazhai. ”

"What did you say?" Shi Song asked.

"The team of 'Feilong Village' went and returned, and re-established their camp on the edge of the purple rock beach five miles away from Dazhai." The minions who reported the message repeated what they had just said.

Confirming that he had heard correctly, Shi Song couldn't help but be furious. On the one hand, he scolded the people of "Feilong Village" in his heart for not being trustworthy, and not only did not withdraw his troops after receiving gold, but approached "Zishi Village" even closer than before. On the one hand, he was annoyed that Zhang Degao and Li Maocai were incompetent, and they couldn't even tell whether the other party was really withdrawing or fake.

He turned his head, glared at Zhang Degao and Li Maocai with anger on his face, and asked, "Didn't you say that the team of 'Feilong Village' has already gone north to Xiayun Ridge, why did they go and return and camp five miles away from my Dazhai?" Mo Feier and the others colluded with the leader of the 'Flying Dragon Village', took their benefits, and turned around to deceive the owner of the village. ”

Zhang and Li hurriedly knelt on the ground and defended: "The big boss is wronged, the little one is indeed watching them dismantle the camp and go to Xiayunling with their own eyes." Moreover, the little one was afraid of their deception, so he followed their team for almost two miles, and then came back to report to the big boss. ”

Then, Zhang Degao pointed to the soldier who reported the news, and continued to argue: "This brother secretly followed and monitored the 'Flying Dragon Village' It was also a small arrangement. If the little one has any collusion with the 'Flying Dragon Village', how can he let him keep an eye on it. ”

Shi Song listened to Zhang Degao's explanation, the anger in his heart decreased slightly, he pointed to Zhang Degao and Li Maocai's noses and said, "In this way, the owner of this village and Xin'er will wait once." Wait for the hurry to the 'Feilong Village' camp, ask them clearly, don't talk about credit, go and return. If he can't find a reason, then don't blame the owner of the village for turning his face ruthlessly and raising troops to level his camp and the 'Flying Dragon Village'. ”

When Zhang Degao and Li Maocai heard this, they kowtowed to Shi Song a few times, and escaped from the "Juyi Hall" with rolling and crawling, letting the minions who reported the news lead the way and went to the new camp of the "Flying Dragon Pioneer Battalion".
