Chapter 23: The Evil Spirit

As soon as Sun Monkey heard that Ye Zheng had decided to attack Zhoujiabao at night, he was suddenly taken aback, and hurriedly spoke out to dissuade him: "Brother Ye, don't be in a hurry, this matter must not be, absolutely not!"

Ye Zheng frowned, and said unhappily: "How can you say this? The purpose of our coming here is to rob it, why is it that at a critical juncture, you are going to give us a retreat again?"

Sun Monkey said with an embarrassed face: "Brother Ye, you don't know, that week, the powerful ghosts were monstrous here, and there were hundreds of evil slaves and thugs under him, and what made people even more headache was that ten years ago, this person had spent a lot of money to invite dozens of martial arts warriors from the Long Dao Gate to serve as his bodyguards. The leader of the group of warriors of the Long Sword Gate is three brothers, they are called Xiang Long, Xiang Hu, Xiang Leopard, the martial arts strength of the three people are above the second-level samurai, especially the boss Xiang Long, it is even more powerful, it is said that he is already the strength of the third-level samurai, there are a few of them in the Zhou Mansion, we want to forcibly attack and rob, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream, it is simply impossible. Otherwise, how could Hall Master Yang Hong suffer a big loss last time and come back. ”

Ye Zheng pinched the butt of the AK47 gun in his hand, looked up at him, and said lightly: "We haven't attacked Zhoujiabao yet, how do you know that we can't take it? If you're afraid, don't go!"

When the people in Niujia Village saw that Sun Monkey always poured cold water on them and doubted their ability, they were suddenly a little unhappy.

What are you kidding? You can doubt our ability, but how can you doubt our little brother Ye'er's ability? His ability and ability are obvious to all in our entire Niujia Village, how can you, a monkey, question it?

Thinking of this, everyone stared at him unkindly, and Sun Monkey himself felt that he had just said too much.

Sun Monkey also knew that what he said just now must be a suspicion of growing the ambition of others and destroying his own prestige, and listening to Ye Zheng's tone, he seemed to be a little dissatisfied, and he quickly smiled awkwardly at the moment, and said, "I...... I don't mean that, I mean, even if we really want to attack Zhoujiabao, we have to plan carefully before we can act. ”

Hearing this, everyone's faces softened a little.

At this time, Ye Zheng looked at him and said indifferently: "The plan and action strategy, I have already planned it in my heart, and when the time comes, you only need to follow my instructions and implement it step by step, and you don't need to worry about the rest." ”

Sun Monkey heard this, and said with some concern: "But." We ......"

"Brother Sun, this time I went down the mountain to rob Zhoujiabao, it seems that you are just responsible for leading the way, it was I who asked Lord Deng Zhai for orders to come down the mountain to rob, I am the leader of this team, so, Brother Sun, don't worry so much, if you are really tired, then you can rest here and wait for us to come back, okay?" Before Sun Monkey could say anything, Ye Zheng immediately interrupted him.

Seeing that he had been kind enough to persuade him three times and twice, Ye Zheng was unmoved, and he was inevitably a little unhappy in his heart, and he couldn't help but be a little unhappy at the moment: "Okay, since Brother Ye, you have already planned it, then I won't be nosy." I'm really a little tired after such a long journey in the past few days, or I'll rest here as you say, and wait for you to return. ”

Ye Zheng nodded and didn't say anything more.

So, everyone began to drink and eat, and after a short rest, they were ready to wait until the sun went down, and then they acted according to the plan that Ye Zheng had drawn up with them in the afternoon. Their gang now has an almost blind admiration and belief in Ye Zheng's ability and ability, basically whatever he says, everyone will do it, and implement it without delay. For this, even Ye Zheng himself couldn't believe it.

A few hours later, the sun finally went down, and everyone was almost resting, all of them seemed to be in a very good state of mind, everyone picked up real swords, guns, bows and arrows, and after everything was ready, they stayed where they were waiting for Ye Zheng's order.

"Brothers, let's go!"

Ye Zheng gave an order, and everyone began to set off quickly, quietly going straight to Zhoujiabao all the way.

Zhoujiabao is actually a relatively large village, because there are more surnames Zhou, so it is named.

The whole Zhoujiabao is located on a plain at the foot of the mountain, with a total of more than 400 households, and the mansion of the Zhou ghost is located in the innermost part of the village, and it is also the largest housing building in the entire Zhoujiabao. There are several courtyards and gardens in front of and behind the Zhou Mansion, covering an area of dozens of acres, adding up to at least dozens of patios, and there are even more small cottages in the wings.

When Ye Zheng and the others came to Zhoujiabao, it was already completely dark, but at this time, in the entire Zhuang Village, except for Zhou Li's mansion, which was brightly lit, the doors of other villages were closed, and the lights were dim. There are few villagers in the village, but in that backward feudal society, like the ordinary poor people, they will generally go to bed very early, because lighting the lamp also costs the lamp oil, after all, the poor can save a little is a little.

Because there were no people walking in the village, Ye Zheng and the others sneaked into the vicinity of Zhou Li's mansion very smoothly, outside the courtyard of Zhou's mansion, there was a circle of high walls, inside the wall, the lights were bright, the people were noisy, and it was very lively, I don't know what activities or parties the ghosts were doing at home this week.

Hidden outside the wall for a long time, Ye Zheng and the others didn't find that there were slaves from the Zhou Mansion who came out to inspect, but it is no wonder that this week's ghosts are notorious here, and their wealth is monstrous, and there are so many evil slave thugs and samurai bodyguards in the mansion, who dares to run to beat him without his life, and he can't get along with him, thinking about this, Ye Zheng also thinks it is reasonable.

Ye Zheng led everyone quietly around the wall, and finally found the entrance gate.

At this time, on both sides of the vermilion lacquer gate of the Zhou Mansion, there were two huge and mighty stone lions, and under the lantern at the door stood four big men with long sticks.

At this time, Niu Sanyan, who was hiding in the shadows to investigate, turned around and came to Ye Zheng's side and told them about the situation at the door.

Niu Tiezhu, who was standing behind Ye Zheng, suddenly approached him and said in a low voice: "Brother Ye, now there are four gatekeepers at the door, do you think we will directly knock them out and then rush in through the main gate, or go around to the backyard of the Zhou Mansion and quietly climb over the wall to enter?"

Ye Zheng pondered for a moment and said: "Climb over the wall or something, it's a bit too low-key, I can't mention the domineering of our Niu family army at all, since we are blatantly robbing the Zhou Mansion, then we are afraid of what he will do, wait and listen to my arrangement, and kill directly from the main gate of the Zhou Mansion!"

"Hehe, what Brother Ye said makes sense......"

"Hehe......"

When everyone in Niujia Village saw Ye Zheng jokingly call them Niu Jiajun, they couldn't help but feel very funny, and under the laughter of everyone, the tension and anxiety in everyone's hearts were suddenly alleviated a lot.

After making a joke and relieving everyone's tense atmosphere, Ye Zheng suddenly turned straight and said: "Everyone, listen, from now on, prepare your weapons, bows and arrows, and wait for Brother Tiezhu to lead a few skilled brothers to quietly touch the main gate, and put down all the four guards for me, remember not to make any noise during the action! The other people follow behind me and ......act when they see the opportunity."

Everyone in Niujia Village gathered around Ye Zheng, and after hearing his action plan clearly, they all prepared to stop and act according to the plan.

At this time, Ye Zheng shouted to his side of the big tiger and the little tiger, and gave the three pistols on his body to the two brothers and one for each of them, so that they could use it for self-defense, and asked the two brothers to protect their own safety. Seeing this, the big tiger and the little tiger were very grateful, and after taking the pistol, they were very excited, and they couldn't do it with envy to Niu Sanyan and the others who were standing next to them.

Ye Zheng couldn't help but be secretly amused when he saw the two of them holding pistols, looking like they had won a treasure, and at the same time, he also reminded him with a straight face: "Big Tiger and Little Tiger, you two listen to me, unless it is a last resort, remember not to shoot easily, because the power of this pistol is too great, and those who are generally shot will either die or be disabled." ”

Speaking of this, Ye Zheng paused, glanced at the people present with a sharp gaze, and said slowly: "Although the evil ghost and others have done a lot of evil this week, and they deserve death, but there are so many servants and slaves in their mansion, it is estimated that there are not a few innocent people who are not guilty of death, so we will attack this time, except for the evil ghost and a few of his henchmen and evil slaves and thugs under him, try not to kill innocent people by mistake." ”

When everyone heard this, they all nodded, feeling that Ye Zheng was very thoughtful, and they respected and admired his character more and more.

After ordering everything, Ye Zheng's expression was awe-inspiring, and he ordered very domineeringly: "Brothers, attack the Zhou Mansion at night, start acting now!"

"Yes......"
