After learning from Zou Yuan and Zou Run that Yang Lin and the others had the intention of surrendering, Zhu Long decided to persuade him to surrender in person.

Think about it, what are you? Isn't it just a son of a local hero!

It's nothing, if you can't give your subordinates glory and wealth, even if you don't even respect it?

Then don't play any games to chase the Central Plains, and be an honest landlord!

With such a mentality, Zhu Long came to Shi Xiu and the others, and sincerely apologized as soon as they met.

"I'm sorry, I'm really busy, I've been trying to have a glass of wine with a few brothers, I don't know if the servants have been slacking off......"

Shi Xiu and the others hurriedly saluted, and when they saw that Zhu Long still respected himself as before, several people felt a little better.

Yang Xiong said with a smile: "Although the big officials are busy, how can we not know?" It's just that we eat and drink the wine and meat of the big officials every day, and we are a little embarrassed to receive it in vain! ”

My brother laughed. Hey, it's not an excuse, the little brother has really had a lot of things recently, there are joys and sorrows, I don't know where to start. Zhu Long sighed, looking sad.

Shi Xiu said strangely: "I heard that the Daguan people recently defeated the Liangshan people, and many heroes and heroes have been added to their subordinates. ”

Zhu Long waved his hand, shook his head and said: "What subordinates, they are all like-minded good brothers, get together and want to do a career." ”

"Although I repelled Song Jiang, the old father was frightened by Song Jiang and fell ill and was bedridden. The third brother was cut off half of his life by Li Kui with an axe, and I don't know if I can ...... it."

Speaking of this, Zhu Long's eyes were red, "Yesterday I was in my father's room, and he told me to take care of my two younger brothers when he was sick, but in less than half an hour, my younger brother was carried back in a coma, and I ...... I don't know how to explain it to my father! ”

Zhu Long's true feelings were revealed, and he couldn't help tears falling, and his voice choked.

Shi Xiu and the others were also sympathetic, wanting to comfort but not knowing how to talk about it.

After a while, after he waited for his mood to stabilize, he smiled embarrassedly and said, "I lost my temper and made a few brothers laugh!" Actually, I came here this time because I have something to say to you. ”

"I was like-minded with a few people, and I hit it off at first sight, and I wanted to ask you to stay in Zhujiazhuang for a long time, but at that time, Zhujiazhuang was in danger, and I didn't know if I could survive, and how could I drag you into the fire pit!"

"Now that Song Jiang has been repulsed, the people in the villa are strong and strong, and they are thriving, so I have the courage to implore you to join us in Zhujiazhuang, and everyone will work together to do a great cause! Don't shirk! ”

The four of them looked at each other and stood up and bowed down together.

Yang Xiong said: "Thanks to the grace of the big officials, I want to be very generous, I, Yang Xiong, am willing to surrender, hold the whip and stirrup for the big officials, and be willing to be a pawn in front of the horse!" ”

"Brother Yang Xiong's words are also our heart's voice." Shi Xiu, Yang Lin, and Deng Fei said in unison.

Zhu Long was very happy. Hurriedly helped up a few of them, and said solemnly: "I wish you an oath that in the future, you will be blessed with the four elder brothers, share hardships and hardships, and live up to today's friendship!" ”

Shi Xiu said: "The big officials can no longer call us like this, mess up the dignity and humility, let outsiders listen, and laugh at us Zhujiazhuang for having no rules!" ”

"They are all good brothers, how can there be any 'dignity'!" Zhu Long said disapprovingly.

Yang Lin Zhengse said: "No! People don't walk without heads, and birds don't fly without heads. Officials should not be presumptuous and belittle the brothers. ”

"That's right! Please change your words, otherwise we won't dare to agree! Yang Xiong also nodded.

Zhu Long said helplessly: "Okay, Brother Yang! Brother Shi! Brother Yang! Brother Deng! ”

The four of them laughed, and Zhu Long asked the servants to serve some wine and food, and chatted while eating and drinking.

After chatting for a few words, they took the initiative to ask for a job arrangement.

Everyone's enthusiasm is so high, of course Zhu Long is very happy, and said to Yang Xiong and Deng Fei: "The guard battalion is being prepared, how about the two of you as the head of one?" ”

Although it is only a capital head, this is in the pro-guard battalion, which is about the same as the lieutenant of the five main battalions, and I haven't seen Lu Fang and Guo Sheng are just the heads?

Both of them happily agreed, and Zhu Long asked them to go to Hu Gang in the afternoon and be his deputy.

Shi Xiu and Yang Lin also looked at him blankly, waiting for his assignment.

Zhu Long smiled, "I want to ask Brother Shi and Brother Yang to be the deputy captains of the Dark Guard Battalion, I don't know what to do?" ”

In fact, Zhu Long wanted Shi Xiu to directly serve as the battalion lieutenant, but he was afraid that others would not be convinced, so he first asked him to be the first deputy battalion lieutenant.

"Dark Guard? What does it do? Shi Xiu thought the name was a bit strange.

"It's mainly about espionage, but of course, there are other missions as well." Zhu Long smiled and said, "It's still an empty shell, waiting for you to build the platform." ”

Shi Xiu touched his nose and smiled bitterly.

After a few more drinks, Zhu Long went to visit his father.

I wish Taigong's spirit is much better than last night, and it seems that he will not kick his feet at once.

Zhu Long breathed a sigh of relief and chatted with him for more than half an hour.

He had already ordered that no one should mention the news of Zhu Biao's injury in front of Zhu Taigong, and of course he himself would not mention it, but they were all talking about the past and the deeds of their ancestors.

Most of the time, it was Zhu Taigong who was talking, and Zhu Long was listening.

Zhu Long, who listened to the story, did not fall asleep, but Zhu Taigong was talking, his eyes slightly closed, and he waved his hand, "You go, I'm a little sleepy." ”

Zhu Long said goodbye and came to see Zhu Biao again.

Hu Sanniang was taking care of him here, and the two were whispering and giggling.

Zhu Long stood at the door, neither walking nor entering, a little embarrassed!

"Big brother!" Zhu Biao lay on the bed, covered with only a sheet, and his face was a little pale.

Hu Sanniang hesitated for a moment, and said with a red face: "Big brother! ”

Zhu Long smiled: "Should I make a lipstick envelope!" ”

Hu Sanniang's face turned even redder, and Zhu Biao coaxed: "It must be given, not less than five hundred taels!" ”

Zhu Long walked to the side of the bed, lifted the sheet, and the stitched wound on his back looked like a giant centipede.

Luckily, there was no inflammation.

Zhu Long breathed a sigh of relief.

Hu Sanniang said on the side: "According to your method, I have scrubbed San Lang with spirits today." ”

"There's Lao Sanniang!" Zhu Long arched his hand, and he still couldn't rest assured.

The so-called spirits are only more than 40 degrees, some are low, and may not have an effect, and they must be 75 degrees of alcohol, and the effect is the best.

"You talk, I won't bother you!" Zhu Long smiled and left.

He was going to make disinfectant alcohol by distillation.

The principle is simple, but it is difficult to get started.

There is no glass tube, so I have to use a bamboo tube instead;

If you don't have a sealed plastic wrap, cover it with a piece of brown paper......

With the assistance of several servants, after an afternoon of tinkering, he finally made a cup of disinfectant alcohol and hurriedly sent it to Zhu Biao for use.
