In the "interrogation room", Liu Wanbao was still drinking tea leisurely, and Wang Kunjun and the others did not speak, but just observed Liu Wanbao while patiently waiting for Liang Ziyue to bring someone over. After a while, just as the tea in Liu Wanbao's cup was about to be drunk, there was a knock on the door, and Liang Ziyue walked in with Qingchen.

After entering the house, Liang Ziyue walked straight behind the table and sat down on an empty chair, and after Qingchen saluted Wang Kunjun and the others, he turned around and looked at Liu Wanbao carefully, and then said to Wang Kunjun and the others: "Uncle Yu, this person is the one Liu Er who the little nephew said before, and he is one of the three people who came to watch yesterday. The little nephew had seen him before, so the little nephew could be sure that he was indeed the second leader of the Five Tigers Village, and he would not be wrong. Moreover, when the little nephew followed the three of them to the hiding place, it was also confirmed from the content of their conversation. ”

Wang Kunjun and the others heard Qingchen confirm that this person was the Liu Er in charge of Xiayun Ridge, and they had no doubts in their hearts, and made up their minds that they must convince this Liu Wanbao. And after Liu Wanbao listened to Qingchen's words, he woke up like a dream. Although he couldn't recall seeing the Taoist priest in front of him somewhere, at least he knew the answer to one thing.

Previously, he had never understood how his actions on his side would be known by the people of the Jade Void Palace, and he had prepared in advance. In his opinion, I am afraid that this matter is probably done by the inner ghost, and before he was captured, he was thinking about how to find the inner ghost after returning to the cottage. Now everything is clear, there is no inner ghost at all, but it has been discovered when I brought someone to investigate. The other party even sent someone to follow him and overheard his conversation with his men, without knowing anything about it. Thinking of this, Liu Wanbao couldn't help but secretly scolded himself for being incompetent, and he didn't find anyone following. If he knew that "Flying on the Grass" came alone for the first time, because the people of the Yuxu Palace were busy moving, and the vigilance was relatively weak and relaxed, he was not discovered. And it was the second exploration that he insisted on that revealed his traces, and there was a series of fiascos that followed, I don't know how he would feel.

After Qingchen confirmed Liu Wanbao's identity, he was still unsatisfied, sorted out his thoughts, and continued: "As far as the little nephew knows, there are five righteous leaders in this Xiayunling Five Tigers Village, that is, the head of the family, known as the Xiayunling Five Tigers, which is also the origin of the name of the village. Among them, the big boss is called Wei Caisi, the one who led the team to attack from the front door last night. This person is also a hero, he values his brother's righteousness, and he is a character who dares to take responsibility. It's just that he is greedy for money, and once he encounters a big deal, even if the other party is strong, he won't let go easily. The reason why he attacked our Jade Void Palace this time was because his spies had learned from some sources that we had a large amount of gold and silver here, and there was a spy named 'Flying on the Grass' who did spy on the existence of a large amount of gold and silver on the day when the uncles were about to move. ”

As soon as Qingchen said this, Xu Shaoan, the head of the security team, blushed, and was very ashamed of the dereliction of duty of himself and the team members. This matter was already known when Qingchen followed and eavesdropped on Liu Wanbao and the others, and for this reason, Xu Shaoan also reviewed the problem of the guards failing to detect the snoopers in time. It was precisely because of this mistake that the security team, which was holding back its anger, made a lot of effort when formulating the defense against the enemy, exerted all kinds of firepower to the extreme, and attacked extremely ruthlessly, thus successfully wrapping Wei Caisi and the main force led by Wei Caisi into dumplings.

Qingchen obviously saw Uncle Xu's embarrassed expression, hurriedly skipped this paragraph, and continued: "Previously, our Yuxu Palace and Wuhu Village were well water and not river water, although the distance was not far, but they were still a little afraid of each other, so they have always been safe. This time it's because the money we have here is too huge, so big that Wei Caisi, who is greedy for money, is willing to take risks. ”

"The second leader of the Five Tigers Village is the one who is in charge of Liu," Qingchen pointed to Liu Wanbao, who was sitting, and said, "Liu Er's family is also a person who values love and righteousness, and he is very good to his brothers and subordinates, and he is very respected by the big and small leaders and minions on the mountain." And he is not greedy for money like Wei Caisi, and he is steady. Being able to think twice before acting on everything is Wei Caisi's right-hand man. Before going down the mountain this time, presumably Liu Er's family had persuaded Wei Caisi, right? ”

Liu Wanbao didn't answer Qingchen's question, because he didn't expect that the other party had already figured out the situation on his side, and even guessed his possible reaction, which was in response to the sentence "Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles", what else is there to say.

Qingchen didn't care that he didn't answer his question, but continued to talk eloquently: "Although Wu Xinqing, the third leader of the Five Tiger Village, is just a rough man, he is loyal to Wei Caisi, and he lost his life in the battle with the enemy two years ago to save Wei Caisi. Xing Bude, the fourth master, is a very cerebral person, and he has always been Wei Caisi's military advisor, but unfortunately he was plotted by the enemy some time ago, and he is still bedridden. And Wu Xinji, the fifth leader, is Wu Xinqing's younger brother, but he is far inferior to his brother, and he is the most unworthy of the five leaders. usually bullies men and women in the cottage, and does all kinds of evil. As far as the little nephew knows, he seems to be very interested in the daughter of Liu Er's family, and for this reason, the second master has had conflicts with him many times. If it weren't for Wei Cai's thoughts for his brother's sake, he repeatedly tolerated it, but he was afraid that he would have been driven down the mountain long ago. In addition, there are more than 20 leaders at all levels in the Five Tiger Village, gathering more than 500 minions. It can be regarded as the largest group of bandits in this area of Fangshan. ”

Speaking of this, Qingchen looked at Liu Wanbao and asked, "Liu Er is in charge, what Xiaodao said, yes or no?" ”

Liu Wanbao was very surprised by Qingchen's words, and he couldn't understand how this Taoist priest heard these news. Like Wu Xinji's idea of beating his own daughter, it is impossible for outsiders to know except for the people in the cottage. Could it be that there are really ghosts in the cottage who leaked these things to these Taoist priests.

As if he saw Liu Wanbao's thoughts, Qingchen explained: "Liu Er is in charge, don't worry, these things are not deliberately leaked to Xiaodao by the people in your cottage." It's that Xiaodao is usually idle and likes to wander around. Sometimes, I happened to visit the Five Tigers Village, and saw that the scenery there was very good, so I stayed for a few days. These things were all seen with my own eyes during the period, or from listening to the minions in the village and the daily chatter of the masters. Of course, Xiaodao also met the second master in the village. ”

Qingchen said it easily, but Liu Wanbao was shocked by horror. This means that this Taoist priest who is not amazing is a super-first-class master, and entering and leaving the Five Tiger Village is like entering a no-man's land. It can be said that as long as he wants, he can take his own life and the lives of others in the cottage at any time. It seems that I am very lucky to be able to live to this day. ,

At this time, Liu Wanbao was already a little unable to sit still, he put the teacup in his hand on the ground, and then hugged his fist to Qingchen and Wang Kunjun and others in the seat, and said: "What this Taoist chief said is the truth, and I admire this Taoist master for Liu. Defeated by your subordinates, Liu confessed. Liu just wanted to know, what did the Taoist leaders mean by bringing Liu here, was it just to humiliate Liu? Although Liu is a rough person, he is also bloody. The head fell off but the scar the size of the bowl, if you want to kill it, you have to cut it casually, Liu is not a hero in the blink of an eye, and begged the Taoist to give Liu a good time, so that Liu can go down there to be a companion with the eldest brother. ”

Liu Wanbao was impassioned, but Wang Kunjun and the others felt a little crying and laughing, it seemed that this Liu Er's master recognized that he would kill him, so he put on such a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, waiting for the neck to be stabbed.

Several people glanced at each other, and finally Zhang Weixin came forward and said with a smile: "Liu Er's master has misunderstood, Poor Dao and your brothers are looking for the second master, not to take the life of the second master. We are all cultivators, and we don't want to kill more. The sniping of Wei Da's family and those minions before was also a last resort. I'm waiting to find the second master, but it's really to save the lives of the second master, as well as your family and the surviving minions in the Five Tiger Village. ”

Liu Wanbao was a little confused for a while when he heard this, and thought to himself, these Taoist priests and his side now have a deep hatred, how can they say that they want to save their lives and the lives of the people in the cottage. So, he hugged his fists and asked, "What does the Taoist mean by this?" ”

Zhang Weixin replied: "Poor Dao means that Liu Er's family, his family and his subordinates will soon have to worry about their lives, and Poor Dao and your brothers and sisters don't want Zaijian to kill as ruthlessly as in the front yard of Yuxu Palace, so they want to help Liu Er's family escape this catastrophe." ”

"I don't know who wants to take the lives of Liu, his family and his subordinates, how does the Taoist plan to help me, and what are the conditions for helping me?" Liu Wanbao asked still confused.

Zhang Weixin looked a little embarrassed and said: "Don't hide it from the second master, it is the poor Dao and your brothers who want to take your life, and the way to save you is for us to give up Jihua who took your life." As for the conditions for not killing you? It's very simple, that is, give up your cottage and all the horses in the cottage to us, and obey our orders. ”

Liu Wanbao was stunned by what he said, with an expression of disbelief on his face. At first, he thought that Zhang Weixin was joking with him, but the expressions of several Taoist priests on the other side showed that the other party was not joking with him, and he was completely serious when he said these words. Liu Wanbao is no stranger to this way of using members of the enemy as hostages to force the enemy to submit. Some of this kind of things have been used by him himself in the process of robbery, and they usually work well. But it is the first time I have seen a group of Taoist priests like this, taking people who are not under their control as hostages and blackmailing others. And listening to the other party's tone, it can be said that he is confident in his actions, and it seems that as long as they are willing, they can put the people in the Five Tigers Village under their control at any time.

Liu Wanbao believes it at this time, and it is not believed that it is not. If these Taoist priests of Yuxu Palace really caught his more than 300 brothers and wives and daughters in the cottage at this time, tied them in front of him, and asked him to give up his former enemies in order to protect the lives of these people and obey their commands, he Liu Wanbao might have surrendered. After all, the situation is stronger than people, and you can't put the lives of your brothers and your wives and daughters on the line for the sake of your own fame.

But this is not the case now, the other party just said empty words and let himself surrender, which is also a bit too rash. In his opinion, there are generally only two types of people who can say this. One is to play tricks and use big words to scare the opponent and defeat the opponent psychologically. The other is superior strength, with absolute superiority, not taking the opponent in his eyes at all, and at the same time absolutely saying that he can do it. And which kind of Taoist priests in front of him belong to, Liu Wanbao was really difficult to judge for a while.

If you want to say that the other party is saying big things to scare yourself, but the creepy scene in the front yard of the Jade Void Palace is still vivid. To say that the other party is superior in strength, Liu Wanbao still has a trace of luck, thinking that these Taoist priests may be good at defending but not good at attacking, with the dangerous terrain of Xiayun Ridge, the brothers who stayed in the cottage should still be able to fight.

Liang Ziyue, who was good at observing words and feelings, saw his hesitation from Liu Wanbao's expression, and understood that although the other party was jealous of Yuxu Palace, there was still a fluke mentality, and Yuxu Palace needed to show his strength more fully to help the other party make up his mind.

So he turned his head and whispered a few words to Xu Shao'an, who was sitting next to him, and Xu Shao'an communicated his meaning to Wang Kunjun and Zhang Weixin, and finally agreed to his suggestion. Then, Xu Shaoan got up and walked out of the house. And Zhang Weixin said to Liu Wanbao: "Presumably, Liu Er's advice on the poor road is a little hesitant, or he simply scoffs. I feel that Poor Dao is talking big, and I feel that the current strength of Wuhuzhai can still fight with us. Then the poor Dao might as well show the strength of our waiting group to Liu Er's master, and it is not too late to make a decision after you have seen it. ”

After a while, Xu Shaoan returned to the house and nodded to Wang, Zhang, and Liang. Wang Kunjun and the others took Liu Wanbao out of the house with him. Tang Chao and Yang Xin were standing outside the room, and when they came out, Tang Chao nodded to Wang Kunjun and the others, signaling that everything was ready.

Under the leadership of Tang Chao, everyone walked through the Moon Gate, and through the front yard, which had been relatively clean, until they walked out of the Guanmen and came to a relatively open place. At this time, Liu Wanbao, who was completely unrestrained, did not move the slightest idea of escaping, as soon as he wanted to see the skills of these Taoist priests with his own eyes, after all, this was related to the future fate of Wuhu Village. Second, these Taoist priests are all strong martial artists, and it is difficult to say whether they can run away. But one thing is certain, if he does escape, the few men who are still in custody will probably become scapegoats, and they will not be able to lose their lives for their own sake.

About 100 meters away from a forest, everyone stopped. Tang Chao handed over the two iron plates and two wooden boards in his hand to Liu Wanbao and asked him to confirm the texture. Liu Wanbao took it for some reason, put it in his hand, and looked at it again. It is estimated that this iron plate is nearly a minute thick, and the wooden board or should be called a wooden block is made of pine wood, which is more than half a foot thick. On the surface, there is nothing special about it, and I don't know what these Taoist priests are asking him to see. Tang Chao asked Liu Wanbao to take these boards and carry them to the tree in front of him with him, and then returned to the place where everyone was standing. ,

At this time, it was about five o'clock in the morning, the sky was still very dark, and in the already dim moonlight, the shadows of the boards that were used as targets were no longer visible from a hundred meters away. I saw that Yang Xin and Zeng Zhilin, who had the best marksmanship among the people who crossed the crowd -- although Zeng Zhilin had been discharged from the army, first, he had not been in the army for a long time, and second, he was also very talented in shooting, and he was a marksman in the SWAT team at the beginning -- took off the Type 95 rifle from behind his body, put on the night vision devices equipped by the Xishan soldiers during the exercise, and raised his gun to fire at the target 100 meters away. The two of them each fired ten shots, and then Tang Chao took Liu Wanbao to retrieve the target.

With the light of the flashlight in Tang Chao's hand, you can clearly see that each target is full of bullet marks. The two pieces of pine had already shattered under the blow of the bullets. Although the two iron plates were not broken, the holes on them also proved the power of the bullets.

Liu Wanbao saw all this in his eyes, and he felt quite shocked. He couldn't understand how the two Taoist priests could see the target in the distance in the dark night - the new moon at the beginning of the month could not provide enough light at all, and he couldn't understand how the strange weapon in their hands could easily hit such a heavy target from nearly a hundred paces away. If nothing else, the loud noise they make when they use their weapons is already quite terrifying. And the cylindrical object in the Taoist priest's hand that emits bright light is also extraordinary, it is not a lantern or a candle or anything like that.

But he now understood at least one thing, that is, the lives of his eldest brother and those 200 brothers were probably lost on this strange weapon. Thinking that these Taoist priests can put more than 200 people to death in less than half a cup of tea with this kind of weapon, then the seemingly arrogant words they just said are by no means to scare themselves, they do have this kind of strength, and they should really think about what they should do in the future.

Just when Liu Wanbao hesitated, Zhang Weixin came over and patted him on the shoulder, signaling everyone to continue the discussion in retrospect. On the way to the Jade Void Palace, Liu Wanbao had been weighing the other party's requirements in his heart, and after thinking about it, he considered all possible situations, and finally reason prevailed over emotion. Although he can't avenge his eldest brother, he will lose his reputation by throwing himself into the door of killing his brother and enemy, and he is likely to never be able to raise his head in front of his fellow people in the future in the future, but for the benefit of the cottage, for the safety of the brothers and his family, he Liu Wanbao will admit it even if he has been infamous for a lifetime. So, the moment he stepped into the main hall of the apse of the Jade Void Palace, he finally made up his mind to accept the other party's conditions and find a way to live for those brothers who were still alive.

In the main hall of the apse of the Yuxu Palace, Liu Wanbao solemnly hugged his fist to Wang Kunjun and the others, and said with a solemn face: "The ability of all the Taoist masters has been taught in the next, and they are convinced in the next. The conditions proposed by the Taoist chief were accepted, and in the future, the Taoist leaders of the Yuxu Palace were driven, and Liu Wanbao would go to the soup and fire, and he would not give up. ”

After speaking, he pointed to the sky again, and solemnly swore: "The sky is above, I, Liu Wanbao, will be the subordinates of the Taoist leaders of the Yuxu Palace from today onwards, and I will never regret it. Then he swept to the ground towards the traversers.

Hearing him say this, a big stone that passed through the hearts of the people finally fell to the ground. Wang Kunjun hurriedly stepped forward, helped him up, and said, "Liu Er's words are serious. Since the second boss is willing to be with us, everyone will naturally be brothers in the future, and they will not be subordinate or not. Second, the big self of the family is waiting for a lot, and giving us a gift is to fold our life. It stands to reason that I should wait to salute the second master. As he spoke, he returned the salute to Liu Wanbao with his fists, and Liu Wanbao hurriedly got out of the way when he saw this, where did he dare to accept it.

At this time, Zhang Weixin came over and pulled Liu Wanbao, introduced him to the names of everyone present, and asked Liang Ziyue to call the other traversers in the Yuxu Palace, as well as Yuxuzi and Qingchen, to introduce Liu Wanbao. After a while of greeting and excitement, everyone quieted down, sat around the hall, and discussed the next step.

Although Liu Wanbao was successfully convinced, this was only the first step to success, and there were still many things that needed to be done to achieve a comprehensive victory in the "Wanjun Operation". And the first thing to do was for Liu Wanbao to come forward and persuade the other five people who were captured to accept the control of the Yuxu Palace and be loyal to the Yuxu Palace.

With Liu Wanbao's status and prestige among the minions of the Five Tiger Villages, this persuasion work is far easier and simpler than the people of the Yuxu Palace to persuade Liu Wanbao. Needless to say, the three survivors of the siege and annihilation battle in the front yard of the Jade Void Palace, the tragic scene a few hours ago was absolutely unforgettable, and no matter what the people of the Jade Void Palace asked them to do, they would not have any objections. And it is even simpler to convince the other two Liu Wanbao's close confidants, since they are confidants, then naturally they and Liu Wanbao are the same heart. They will fully support and cooperate with Liu Wanbao in whatever decision he makes. Therefore, Liu Wanbao talked with them for only a cup of tea, and then won their support, and the five of them said that everything was based on Liu Wanbao's head and had no two hearts.

Once you've done the simplest step, the rest isn't so easy. Liu Wanbao is subjugated to the Yuxu Palace, but now he is not the only one in the Wuxu Village who has the final say, and the bedridden fourth brother and the useless fifth brother are in the way, how to make these two people surrender is another key to the success of the entire "Wanjun Operation".

After studying and discussing for a while, it was not until the light of day that a plan was basically determined, and then Wang Kunjun, the general liaison of the operation, assigned their respective tasks to the executors of the plan. As the people who received the task left the Yuxu Palace one after another, the "Wanjun Operation" entered a new stage.
