After Zhu Hu left with his newly acquired subordinates, Zhu Long informed Chen Shou of the new task, and Chen Shou accepted it without saying a word.

"You haven't been in charge of these captives for long, okay?" Zhu Long was a little worried.

"No problem!" Chen Shou is full of confidence.

"But you only have four soldiers under your command, only 400 people, but there are more than 3,000 prisoners to manage, can you suppress it? If they run away in a hurry, it's serious! It's not that I care about these people, but I fear that they will harm the local people. ”

"Run? Where can they go? Without the protection of Zhujiazhuang, he was immediately arrested by the government! ”

Chen Shou said with a smile: "This batch of captives came just in time, it just so happened that the last batch of captives were reformed, and they saw that the old-timers had a way out, so they worked as coolies for a few months, so naturally they didn't have such strong resistance." ”

"You grew up in a honey pot, and you feel tired when you see them as coolies, but in fact, the farmers are more tired than them in farming, they are all from a bitter background, what is it to do some work, and they are not hungry."

Zhu Long smiled, "Even if that's the case, it's amazing, to be able to manage so many robbers and bandits well." ”

"My subordinates also have some tricks of their own." Chen Shou said with a smile: "In your opinion, they are all captives, they are the same, in fact, they are also very complicated, this mountain, that mountain, is not monolithic." I'll let them take care of themselves. Big bosses, small leaders, and ordinary captives, one layer at a time, eating, drinking, wearing, and living are not classified as ranks. These guys all want to climb up, desperately try to please us, they are much more ruthless to their own people than we are, there are informers every day, they want to bring down the boss, climb up by themselves! ”

Zhu Long laughed when he heard this, this Chen Shou is really a fucking talent.

……

When he came back from the prisoner camp, he saw Qin Ming and his wife waiting at the door of the council hall, but Zhu Long's eyes were on the third person.

The young man was tall and long, with his hair scattered, and stood in the shadows under the eaves, his head bowed. Compared to the burly and sturdy Qin Ming, he looked a little thin, but he was full of strength.

"Lord!" Qin Ming saw Zhu Long from afar and shouted.

"Brother Qin, sister-in-law! Why are you standing at the door, go in and sit! Zhu Long arched his hand, his eyes were still glancing at the young man, and after seeing it clearly, he sighed and arched his hand: "Brother Hua, don't come unharmed!" ”

Hua Rong nodded without making a sound, squinting his eyes, as if he was a little afraid of light.

Zhu Long remembered the dark and lightless environment in the dungeon, and stayed in it for four or five months in a row, and it was indeed difficult to adapt to it for a while after coming out.

"Three of you, please come in!" Zhu Long stood at the door and made a gesture to invite in.

"My lord, please!" Don't look at Qin Ming as a big boss, he has been mixed in officialdom for more than ten years, and he mixes very well, he is still very shrewd, and he also has a set of how to get along with leaders.

Several people walked into the lobby in turn, Zhu Long sat in the main seat, the others sat in the lower seat, only Hua Rong was still standing.

"Brother Hua, I have always admired your character and martial arts, although the family village is small, but I am sincere, I sincerely ask Brother Hua to join my Zhu family army, everyone is blessed and enjoys the same difficulties, and participates in the great cause, I don't know what you think!"

Zhu Long knew that since Hua Rong came, there was a chance that he would be submissive to him.

But he still respects talents, takes the initiative to invite, and sincerely persuades him to surrender.

Hua Rong bowed her head and was silent, Hua Xiaomei was anxious, stood up and said, "Brother, say it quickly!" ”

"Hua Rong greets the officials who wish to be great!" Hua Rong bowed down and said bitterly.

Zhu Long knew that he was still a little reluctant, and he didn't care, people who have the ability always have a bit of character.

"Brother Hua, with your help, why worry about big things?" Zhu Long was very happy, Hua Rong's strength was definitely at the level of the Five Tigers, and in terms of marksmanship, he was on par with Qin Ming; In terms of archery, he stands alone in the world; On the art of war, he beat Qin Ming!

"There's a request from a subordinate!" Hua Rong hesitated for a moment and spoke.

"Please!"

"I want to go to Liangshan and pay homage to my deceased wife."

Zhu Long said solemnly: "This is human nature, and there is nothing to do!" It's just that Brother Hua's physical condition is not very good, why don't you rest for two days before leaving? ”

"The subordinates are anxious in their hearts, and they can't wait to turn into birds and fly to Liangshan."

"Brother Hua is really a lover! Well, Brother Hua can't see the light in his eyes, I'll arrange a carriage for you! ”

"Thank you, the big official, my subordinates retire!"

"Brother Hua, please go and freshen up and rest, and I will hold a banquet in the evening to celebrate Brother Hua's joining."

Qin Ming got up and said, "Lord, I'll take my eldest brother to my residence to rest." ”

"Okay, let's ask Brother Hua to settle down at your place first, and then I'll arrange a place for him to stay! You have to come over for the banquet tonight! ”

"Yes!" Qin Ming left with his wife and brother-in-law!

Seeing Hua Rong's departing back, Zhu Long remembered another person and sighed.

"Why is the lord sighing?" Xiao Rang asked.

"I remembered that there was another person in the dungeon of Zhujiazhuang, but he couldn't be used by me, and I felt sorry in my heart!"

"The lord is talking about Li Jun?"

"Really!"

"The lord cherishes talents, and his subordinates admire them! Now that Liangshan has disappeared, Song Jiang will not live long, as long as the lord is sincere, Li Jun will naturally be moved and sincerely submitted! . ”

Zhu Long shook his head, "In order to avenge the five brothers of Ruan Xiaowu, we will dig out Li Li's heart and disembowel, and take a deep feud with Li Jun, how can he really submit?" Having a Zhang Shun is enough to worry me! The so-called suspicious person doesn't need it, he is obedient, and I don't dare to accept it! ”

Xiao Rang said disapprerovingly: "Although the relationship between Li Jun and Li Li is not bad, it can't be said that if you kill Li Li, you will have a blood feud with Li Jun, right?" ”

"They are brothers, we killed his brother, how can it not be a blood feud?" Zhu Long asked rhetorically.

"Brother? Not really! Who are you listening to? Li Jun's ancestral home is Jiangzhou, Li Li is a native of Jieyangling, how can he be a brother! Xiao Rang explained.

Yes?

Isn't it a brother?

Zhu Long was stunned, it didn't make sense! Zhang Heng, Zhang Shun, Mu Hong, Mu Chun, Tong Wei and Tong Meng are all brothers, why is Li Jun and Li Li not?

He recalled carefully, as if it was indeed not said in the book that they were brothers, and it seemed that he took it for granted.

"Not good!" He remembered something and suddenly screamed.

Xiao Rang was taken aback, "What's the matter, lord, what's wrong?" ”

"It's too late to elaborate! I'm going to the dungeon! After speaking, Zhu Long hurriedly walked outside.

Xiao Rang looked at Zhu Long's back, and guessed what was going on, he followed from behind, but was thrown far away by Zhu Long.

……

In the dungeon, a few torches dispelled the darkness.

In the uncertain firelight, a group of heavily armed soldiers walked forward in silence.

No one spoke, only heavy footsteps echoed through the dead dungeon.

Sun Li's expression was solemn, with a sharp knife in his hand, and he walked step by step to a cell in the depths of the dungeon.

He was followed by eight pro-soldiers, all of whom were henchmen who followed all the way from Dengzhou, and each of them was personally taught by him and loyal to him.

As long as he gives the order, they are willing to kill anyone for him.

When he came to a cell, he stopped, and two cronies stretched out their torches into the cell, and inside was a tall, muscular man with cold features, deep eyes, and hair that was scattered like a proud lion.

"Li Jun!" Sun Li's voice was cold, and his eyes were murderous.

"Who are you?" Li Jun's eyes were like sharp swords.

"Sun Li!"

"You're here to kill me." Li Jun's voice was calm, and he walked with some kind of enlightenment.

"You should have died!" Sun Li sneered, after he received Zhu Long's task yesterday, he came directly to kill Li Jun, but Qin Ming and his wife had been doing Hua Rong's ideological work in the dungeon.

Early this morning, he was ready to do it again, but Qin Ming and his wife came again and took Hua Rong away.

In fact, if Zhu Long wants to kill Li Jun who refuses to surrender, no one can say anything, there is no need to be sneaky at all, he can kill him openly.

However, Li Jun is generous and righteous, and he is very popular in Liangshan, and in these days when he was in prison, people often came to visit him with wine and meat, and if he was killed publicly, there would inevitably be people who would intercede, and Zhu Long would simply kill him first in order to avoid trouble.

Sun Li's thoughts flashed in his mind. He took out a white silk from his bosom and threw it between the fences.

"The lord is merciful, leave you a whole corpse. If you are sensible, you will cut yourself off, lest we do it and die an ugly death! Sun Li shook the sharp knife in his hand.

Li Jun stood for a while, bent down to pick up the white silk, looked at it for a long time, then looked up at the top of his head, looked at Sun Li, pointed to it, blinked his eyes, and said helplessly: "There is no place to hang it!" ”

Sun Li saw that the beams on the roof of the cell were too high, and there were wooden planks pressed on them, so it was impossible to hang ropes.

"Looks like I'll give you a ride myself!" Sun Li sneered and shouted, "Open the door!" ”

A cronie pulls out the key, opens the lock, and pushes the door open.

Sun Li stepped in, and his subordinates also pulled out their waist knives and followed in.

Li Jun's expression was solemn, his hands clenched the white silk, stretched it straight, and retreated to the corner of the wall.

But the cell was so big, he took four or five steps back, and his back was against the wall, and Sun Li approached within seven steps of him, and eight personal soldiers followed him, standing in a fan shape, and surrounded Li Jun.

Li Jun's heart sank. Between the advance and retreat of these people, the cooperation is very tacit, and even the pace is very neat.

"Kill!" Li Jun roared and threw himself forward, but his feet did not move.

He bluffed, wanting to let the other party show his flaws.

But he was disappointed, and the nine people on the opposite side were as steady as old dogs, especially Sun Li, who put strong pressure on him.

"Kill!" Sun Li roared angrily, rushed forward with an arrow step, opened the five fingers of his left hand, pressed towards Li Jun, and stabbed the sharp knife in his right hand between Li Jun's chest and abdomen.

Li Jun had no way to retreat, and hurriedly threw Bai Aya at Sun Li's face.

Bai Aya blocked Sun Li's sight, he used a sharp knife to pick Bai Aya away, Li Jun had already shifted his shape and changed positions, rushed to his left subordinate, and in the face of several people's knife stabs, he used Bai Aya to wrap around the four waist knives and forcibly knocked them out from the gap between the two.

Sun Li turned around and slashed at Li Jun's back, his clothes were torn, and the tip of the knife cut through the flesh, but it was not deep.

Li Jun rushed out of the prison door, took the cell door with his hand, locked it, pulled out the key, and completed it in one go. He stood outside the cell and smiled mockingly at the people inside.

Sun Li's face turned red, so many people killed an unarmed prisoner, and they actually let the prisoner escape, but locked himself and others inside, he was so ashamed and angry, what kind of face did he have to see the lord!

"Farewell!" Li Jun laughed twice, took a big stride, and ran towards the dungeon gate. It feels good to be free and run around.

He opened the door, and the sunlight from outside shone in, making his eyes tingle and he couldn't help but squint.

This is not a place to stay for long, you have to find a way to get out!

He endured his discomfort, and when he looked around, a voice sounded not far away, "Hey, you've escaped!" ”

Li Jun was shocked, turned his head to look over, and saw a heroic and upright young man walking over at the corner of a house, with a surprised expression.

"Zhulong?" Li Jun was surprised and delighted, surprised that the boss of Zhujiazhuang was here, and happy that he subdued Zhu Long, so he could go out unimpeded.

He didn't say a word, and pounced on Zhu Long!

Zhu Long raised a kick and kicked Li Jun upside down!

Fighting with hand-to-hand, I wish the dragon great confidence!

Don't talk about Li Jun, even if Lu Junyi comes, he doesn't pay attention to it. The only one who has no confidence to deal with it is Wu Song, after all, even tigers can be killed with their bare hands!

Although Li Jun's martial arts are extraordinary, but without weapons, when he meets Zhu Long on a narrow road, he is tragic, and in less than ten moves, he is locked in the joint of his right hand and subdued to the ground.

"Li Jun, are you convinced?" Zhu Long shouted.

"Not convinced!" Li Jun tilted his head and said loudly.

"Okay, come again!" Zhu Long let go and took a few steps back, allowing Li Jun to stand up.

Li Jun stood up and rubbed his shoulders, this time he was good at learning, and slowly approached Zhu Long, protecting his hands on his chest.

His caution seemed a bit clumsy to Zhu Long, who was proficient in sanda fighting, with light and flexible steps, and extremely quick to dodge. Li Jun made a few moves in a row, but he didn't hit him, but was caught by Zhu Long, played a set of combination punches, and was beaten to the ground.

"Li Jun, are you convinced?" Zhu Long asked again.

"Hmph, come again!" Li Jun's face was swollen, he got up, rushed towards Zhu Long, and when he approached him, he suddenly threw out a handful of dust.

Zhu Long had a little dust in his eyes, he couldn't see, and was continuously attacked by Li Jun, so he had to protect his head and two ribs, and kept retreating.

Although he couldn't see it, Zhu Long could distinguish the opponent's position, and he launched a counterattack, although he was still being beaten, he could also hit Li Jun a few times. He has infinite strength, and his punches and kicks are very heavy, and Li Jun is very jealous.

He suddenly became short, quickly rushed to Li Jun, stopped him by the waist, and relied on his divine power and fighting skills to throw Li Jun to the ground and firmly suppress him.

"Li Jun, are you convinced?" Zhu Long said loudly.

Li Jun was silent for a while, and said a little frustratedly: "Convinced!" I can't beat you like this, so what can I do if I don't accept it! ”

Zhu Long smiled, let go of him, got up and stood up, his eyes were still closed, his hands stretched forward and groped, but his eyes were still invisible.

Li Jun stood up, his expression changed several times, obviously struggling in his heart, and finally said: "Zhu Daguan, you wait here, I'll go and release Sun Li!" ”

"They're locked up by you? Haha, interesting! ”

After Li Jun turned around and entered the dungeon, Zhu Long opened his eyes and showed a smug smile, today is really an unexpected joy, and he subdued the two generals at the same time.

Needless to say, Hua Rong is also a rare talent in water warfare, he is the absolute boss of the Liangshan Water Army, and his ability is outstanding.

When he was in Jieyang Town, several other people were in awe of him, such as when Zhang Heng was carrying Song Jiang on the boat, he didn't like Mu Chun and Mu Hong at all, but in the face of Li Jun, he immediately changed his respectful face.

Sun Li and a few people were cutting locks, and sparks were splashing.

"Don't cut it! I'll pick the lock, stand back! Li Jun appeared at the door of the cell, the key in his hand.

Sun Li and his subordinates looked at each other, unable to understand what was going on.
