The Lu family happily agreed to Aobai's plan to send grain. They are eager to have a good relationship with Jinyiwei, and these grains cannot be traded, and they can only rot in the warehouse.

Ao Bai selected more than a dozen people, pulled some grain, and set off for Shenshan Township. The road is not far, it can be reached in two days. Ao Bai and Yang Yu rode away from the group on fast horses and rushed to Heishi Village first, where he was ready to convince the bandits before the grain arrived.

In the afternoon of the next day, the two successfully found Black Rock Mountain. Ao Bai was in a hurry, Yang Yu was not dissatisfied, nor did he show the slightest fatigue, Ao Bai was sure that he had good kung fu and was not the kind of pampered person.

There are many fields under the mountain, and the fields are full of wheat. All the crops are harvested in the barn in the fall, only the wheat sprouts when the frost falls, grows in the snow and ice, heads when the spring comes, and harvests a heavy life in the scorching heat. Perhaps wheat is the messenger of spring, it is the first smile to revive the earth, and quietly and unknowingly brings the breath of spring.

Ao Bai led the horse to the edge of the village and found a young man who looked the most energetic, this man was in his early twenties, very strong, and at first glance he was a practitioner.

"Hello, I would like to ask how to go to the Black Stone Village?"

The young man looked at him and Yang Yuan, and asked vigilantly, "What are you doing in Heishi Village?" ”

Ao Bai said with a smile: "We are here to discuss some business with the master of Shizhai." I asked some people and heard that it was right here. ”

The young man said coldly: "I don't know your accent is a local, go back, outsiders are not welcome in Heishi Village." ”

was rejected by a mouthful, Ao Bai was not impatient, and said with a smile: "As long as I meet the owner of the village and chat for a while, I will not be an outsider." You're not a simple farmer, are you? I can see that you have practiced kung fu, and farming is just a cover-up, but in fact, you are also a copycat, right? ”

The young man beckoned, and a boy beside him hurried into the village, probably to call someone.

"Who are you? Have something to say to me. ”

Ao Bai smiled: "We have no malice, we just want to go into the cottage to talk about something." You don't have to be so outside, right? I know that the peasant brothers were forced to live, so they became bandits. I have a plan to make a fortune together. ”

The young man looked at Ao Bai and snorted: "I don't think you look like a peasant at all, you look like an official." ”

Ao Bai smiled: "Aren't you either a farmer or a bad person?" I've brought you a few cartloads of grain, and I'll be here tomorrow. You won't take it if it's good, right? I know it's not going to be a good winter. ”

Seeing that he was always smiling, the young man gradually relaxed his heart, and said strangely: "My name is Shi Kai, I am indeed a copycat, why did you send us food for no reason?" ”

It's called throwing stones and asking for directions. As soon as Ao Bai heard that this person's surname was Shi, he immediately thought that he might have something to do with the owner of the village, and arched his hand: "In Xia Huang'an, this is my brother Yang Yuan." Since Brother Shi can speak, why don't you take us to the village? You just have to take a moment to listen to my advice, and there's nothing to lose. ”

After speaking, he threw the short knife he was carrying to the ground and said with a smile: "We don't bring weapons, it's sincere enough, right?" ”

Shi Kai looked at Yang Yuan again, and Yang Yuan smiled: "I don't have weapons, I believe that the peasants are simple and will not harm me." ”

"I'll take you on a trip." There were a lot of people in the village, Shi Kai waved his hand again and let them disperse, stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling people, Ao Bai and Yang Yu were all smiling, so that people could not be hostile.

After the hill from the path, Ao Bai silently observed the terrain, which was surrounded by mountains on three sides, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it was a good idea for the robbers to entrench here, unless the regular army was sent to besiege them, it would be difficult to exterminate them.

The Black Rock Mountain is not very high, and it will not take long to reach the top. The two of them entered the lobby and waited, this lobby was very simple, the furnishings were messy, and it was very cold, the mountain wind poured into the house through the crack in the door, and it was not much different from outside, and it was not a comfortable thing to live in the cottage.

A sturdy old man walked in with a group of subordinates, he was Shi Lianzhi, his appearance was very distinctive, with a leopard's head and eyes, his face was black like Zhang Fei, but his beard was like Guan Gong, he looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "In Xia Shi Lianzhi, I heard that you are going to send food to the cottage, where did this food come from?" ”

Ao Bai arched his hand and said: "Shizhai master, fortunately." The food comes from the Lu family in Xinzhou, and winter is coming, so I am afraid that the cottage brothers will not have anything to eat, so I send some, but it is not enough to say it. ”

Shi Lianzhi laughed and said, "Hahaha, interesting." Are you Lu Feng's people? What kind of heart is he in this? ”

Everyone else also laughed, and Yang Yu also laughed along with it, not treating himself as an outsider, I don't know if I thought he was also a thief.

"Village master, there are too many people here, what I want to tell you has some secrets, can you just let you and a few core people listen to it?"

Shi Lianzhi waved his hand and said, "You all go down first, Shi Yong, Shi Zhan, Shi Kai, you stay and close the door." ”

All the thieves left the hall, leaving only Shi Lianzhi and his three sons.

Shi Lianzhi said: "If you have anything to say, you can say it." Let's start by telling me who you are. ”

Ao Bai took out the gold medal and lit up, and said straight to the point: "Then I'll say it directly, I am the commander of Jinyiwei Xuanwu." He is also a member of the Jinyi Guard. ”

The faces of the four of them changed as soon as they heard this, and Shi Yong and Shi Kai wanted to pull out their knives. Shi Lianzhi beckoned, signaling his sons to be calm. frowned and said, "Are you Jinyiwei?" We are laughing cottages, do we have to take care of Jinyiwei? ”

Shi Kai stared at Ao Bai and said angrily: "I thought you were good people, but I didn't expect it to be the imperial court eagle dog." Bring you up, count me blind. ”

Ao Bai said without hurry: "Don't get excited, if Brother Shi doesn't bring me up, it will really be a bad thing." I'm not here today to hurt you. The fact that Heishizhai can develop into what it is today is related to the fact that there is no army stationed in Shanxi. Let me ask, if an important minister participates in one of your books, and the court is ready to send someone to encircle and suppress it, what will you do? ”

Shi Yong snorted coldly and said, "I'd rather be a broken jade than a complete tile!" ”

Ao Bai shook his head and said, "It's very brave." I admire your courage, but the brothers in the village are all from peasants, and their combat effectiveness is definitely not as good as that of the regular army, how did you fight? If you don't want to rebel, why should you lose your life for no reason? I have a great suggestion for everyone to live, would you like to hear it? ”

Shi Lianzhi is not a brainless reckless man, he knows very well that if the imperial court wants to deal with them, Heishizhai can't stop it, and he sighed and said, "Say it." However, the situation of Heishizhai today is not easy, and it cannot be easily handed over to others, which is not fair to his brothers. It's okay if I die, but everyone else must be okay. ”

"Daddy!" It doesn't matter what he says, the three sons are all sad and angry and want to break the corpses of Ao Bai and Yang Yuan into thousands of pieces.

Ao Bai smiled bitterly: "I said the master of Shizhai, who said that you died." I think you've led the cottage very well. The corrupt officials forced the people to rebel, and you united a group of ordinary people together and let them eat. If I were to appoint officials, at least make you a prefect. Don't worry, I'm saying good things. ”

Shi Yong said: "You just want to recruit us, right?" It's not that easy, our cottage is not so easy to break. ”

Ao Bai smiled: "Really? I don't think you're in a stable place. Surrounded by mountains on three sides, it is indeed easy to defend, but in fact, it is also forcing yourself to death. The officers and soldiers surrounded but did not fight, and the problem of food alone would kill everyone, and in the end, there was only one way down the mountain to break through, and the archers of the opposing side waited at the bottom of the mountain, shooting indiscriminately for a while, and you were all wiped out. Of course, you may have a back road, such as climbing the mountain, so that even if you escape, without this stronghold, the Black Stone Village would not exist. How do you live when a group of you people become homeless? ”

Ao Bai knew very well the way of thinking of the robbers, and the four of them were speechless. He said again: "If I don't recruit you, I will take you bigger and stronger, and continue to rob." Interested? ”

The world is so crazy that weasels are bridesmaids for chickens. Shi Lian Zhiqi said: "Could it be that you, the brocade guard, are not doing it anymore and want to be a robber with us?" ”

Ao Bai said with a smile: "Jinyiwei still has to do it, otherwise who will keep your cottage safe?" As long as you are willing to cooperate, I will take you to rob, and it will definitely be twice the result with half the effort and a lot of fun. ”

Shi Lianzhi pondered for a moment, his face softened slightly, and asked, "What are we going to do?" ”

Ao Bai smiled: "The owner of the village is really good at talking. You have to grab, but you have to learn to grab it in a low-key way. ”

Shi Lianzhi and his three sons couldn't think of a robbery that could be low-key.

Ao Bai gave them a few examples and talked about his ideas. "It's very simple to keep a low profile, for example, it is the same robbery, and there is a difference between a daytime attack and a night operation, so that the brothers all change into black clothes and attack at night. In this way, even if you kill someone, no one else knows who did it. There is also where to do it, how to complete the robbery without hurting his own brother, these are all things to talk about. ”

Shi Lianzhi became interested and sighed: "Are you really from the government?" ”

"Of course, the government also has a purpose. We want to rob a certain target, those merchants who go back and forth to Zhangjiakou. Ao Bai said: "This is just a preliminary cooperation, and when you have enough, I will arrange a job for you to ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing." ”

Shi Lianzhi frowned and said, "You said those businessmen who traveled back and forth to Zhangjiakou? It's hard stubble, and it's not that easy to move. ”

"Your current strength is almost poor, but with your local prestige, can you lure other gangs to vote? If everyone unites, not to mention businessmen, the regular army can also fight. But we must have a good relationship with the farmers. I am the most Ming is the peasants, robbed things, and gave them a little benefit, so that the people have food to eat, clothes to wear, they will remember your good, one to ten, ten to hundred, Heishizhai is also a good man. ”

Shi Lianzhi listened very seriously and sighed: "You let us rob the rich and help the poor? Isn't it really recruiting us? ”

Ao Bai smiled: "That's right, but you must be associated with the magistrate and become an organized and disciplined **...... A part of the money you earn is also used to pay attention to officials, so that they can see the benefits and recognize you as their own people. Only the official and bandit families can facilitate development. If there is good, who will beat you? ”

After chatting for a while, Shi Lianzhi and the three children were attracted by the idea of worship.
