It didn't take long for the man to run over in a hurry and say to Luo Chuan: "Three, the helper is invited, please come with me!" ”

Luo Chuan arched his hand and said, "There is labor to lead the way!" ”

The man immediately turned around and walked forward, the people at the head of the bridge got out of the way, and the three of Ximen Mountain slowly walked onto the bridge. After crossing the bridge, you will see that there is a city gate. There was a row of strong men standing on the tower above the city gate, some holding strong bows and crossbows, some holding swords and guns, all staring at the three of Ximen Mountain with serious expressions.

Passing through the city gate, there is a spacious martial arts training ground. There were dozens of people lined up in a neat formation on the field, dancing with guns and sticks, and they looked well-trained. Walking through the martial arts training ground, it is a house like a palace. Up and down the steps, each stood four strong men with knives. After going up the nine steps, you will arrive at the entrance of the lobby.

The man who led the way stood at the door and shouted inside, "Tell the master, Simon's family has brought it!" ”

Feixiang heard him speak rudely, became furious, and was about to have a seizure, but Luo Chuan hurriedly waved his hand to stop it. At this moment, a voice immediately came from inside: "Please!" ”

The three of Ximen Mountain walked in with their heads held high, only to see Li Zhen sitting opposite. Behind him stood two big men, and on the right row of chairs in front of him, sat four men of different ages. The row of chairs on the left, all empty.

When Li Zhen saw the three of Ximen Mountain coming in, his face sank, obviously with some anger in his heart. But he held back his anger, stood up, and arched his hand and said, "The three of you have come to our gang, and you have missed the welcome, please forgive your sins, please sit down and talk!" ”

Ximen Shan bowed his hand and saluted back: "Gang Master Li is polite!" With that, he walked to the left and sat down in a chair.

Luo Chuan and Feixiang did not sit down, but stood behind Ximen Mountain.

Li Zhen shouted again: "Come on, serve tea!" ”

Ximen Shan waved his hand and said, "You're welcome. Let's get down to business! Gang Leader Li sent someone to spread the word, saying that he wanted to make peace with Peach Blossom Village, I don't know if he was sincere? ”

Li Zhen glanced at Ximen Mountain and said, "Mr. Ximen, of course we are sincere. We are talking about the affairs of Peach Blossom Village, why didn't Peach Blossom Village send people here, but you three outsiders came, can you represent Peach Blossom Village? ”

Fei Xiang took over and said, "Since we can come, we can naturally represent them. If you have anything to say, you might as well say it bluntly, and you don't have to beat around the bush! ”

The person on the other side immediately shouted: "In front of the helper, you are a little woman, how can you speak?" Apologize to our helpers! ”

Feixiang sneered and said, "I am not qualified to speak, free my grandfather decides, it is not your turn to talk nonsense." If you interrupt your helper's guests without permission, and obviously don't take your helper seriously, you should immediately kowtow to your helper to make amends! ”

The man was furious, and he shouted angrily: "Cheap maid, you are so disrespectful and impatient to live? ”

Seeing this, Li Zhen hurriedly scolded: "Don't be rude, you sit down for me!" ”

When the man heard this, he saw that Li Zhen's face was not good, so he had to glare at Liangchen and sit down angrily. Li Zhen fought with Feixiang yesterday and knew that her martial arts were not weak.

Li Zhen turned his head to Feixiang and said, "It turns out that the girl is the granddaughter of Mr. Ximen, and she is rude." I have heard for a long time that the girl Feixiang is sharp and smart, and she really deserves her reputation. ”

Feixiang saw that Li Zhen suddenly became polite, so she also said slowly: "Gang Leader Li, it's too famous, and the little girl doesn't dare to be it." I don't know who you're listening to? ”

Li Zhen didn't answer Feixiang's question, but glanced at Luo Chuan and said, "Luo Shaoxia, don't say dark words in front of the Ming people, you have fought against us many times, I don't know why?" ”

Luo Chuan smiled slightly and replied, "Gang Master Li, I shouldn't need to tell you this. You should know what you have done. ”

Li Zhen said coldly: "We don't have anything to offend the young man, why do you Ximen family stand up for others?" ”

Feixiang took over and said, "My grandfather is known as Ximen Laoxia, and he naturally likes to do chivalrous things. If you don't oppress others, we won't be your enemies. Whether it's in Baihe Village or in Peach Blossom Village, your behavior is really unbearable! Yesterday you killed innocents indiscriminately, and my grandfather would draw a knife to help him whenever he saw a bad road. If you don't change your ways, what happened yesterday will probably happen to you often. ”

Li Zhen's face sank, and he said: "You won by luck yesterday, don't think that we can't do anything about you." If I really want to wash the Peach Blossom Village in blood, it's just a matter of gestures. It's just that the leader of this gang thinks that God has the virtue of a good life, and he doesn't want to kill more, so he intends to talk to you. If you insist on going your own way, we won't be able to care for much. ”

Feixiang saw that Li Zhen was a little angry, so he accepted it when he saw it, and said, "That's good, there is no need to mention the past." May I ask about the matter of Peach Blossom Village, how do you want to end it? ”

Li Zhen thought for a while and said: "In my opinion, you put all our people back, and we promise not to trouble them in the future, and we will not interfere with each other's well water." What do you think? ”

When Luo Chuan heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, "This is not good!" ”

Luo Chuan flatly refused, and Li Zhen was greatly surprised. You must know that the boat gang can take the initiative to say that it will not harass Peach Blossom Village in the future, which is an unprecedented move.

The Boat Gang had already subdued many villages on the outskirts of Nanyang before, and most of them did not dare to resist at all. A few villages did not agree at first, but as soon as the boat gang left, these people obeyed.

This time, Li Zhen returned from a big defeat, and naturally became angry and refused to give up. However, several big and small leaders of the Boat Gang were killed, and even the Holy Maiden of the Boat Gang lost their fighting spirit, and he no longer had any powerful subordinates.

Li Zhen had no choice but to send someone to Peach Blossom Village. He felt that he had been greatly wronged, and he was very aggrieved in his heart. Seeing that Luo Chuan still didn't agree at this moment, Li Zhen wanted to turn his face on the spot.

But when he thought of something, Li Zhen had no choice but to hold back his anger and ask coldly: "What do you want to agree to peace?" ”

Luo Chuan's face sank, and he said: "You went to Peach Blossom Village to kill people and set fire to them for no reason, not only killing dozens of people, but also robbing a lot of money and property, and burning down dozens of houses. If you really have the sincerity to talk about peace, shouldn't you say something about it? At least give proper compensation! What if you don't have to do another loot in a short time? ”

Li Zhen said angrily: "You have killed dozens of people, but we have more deaths, how can this be counted?" ”

Feixiang said coldly: "This is your provocation first, we are just forced to fight back." If we hadn't arrived in time yesterday, I'm afraid that Peach Blossom Village would have been killed by you. As for your people, to put it mildly, they are purely looking for their own death, which can be regarded as innocent! ”

Feixiang's words were undoubtedly pointing at Li Zhen's nose and scolding. Li Zhen and the others were suddenly so angry that they roared angrily: "You, you dare to insult your brothers like this." It seems that if I don't give you a little color today, you don't know how high the sky is and how thick the ground is! Someone! ”

With Li Zhen's loud shout, dozens of people instantly poured out from both sides of the hall and the gate, surrounding the three of Ximen Mountain. The four people on the opposite side also stood up and showed their swords.

The three of Ximen Mountain glanced at these people contemptuously, but their faces did not change. On the way here, Ximen Mountain estimated that this was a Hongmen banquet, and the four of them had already discussed the strategy to deal with it.

Fei Xiang deliberately said something very ugly, just to see how sincere they were. Luo Chuan is confident that after yesterday's battle, there are no masters in the boat gang, at most, Li Zhen and Li Xing can barely resist the three of them for a while.

Feixiang thought that if he wanted to make a move, he could take advantage of the opportunity to negotiate peace and get close to Li Zhen. At that time, Ximen Mountain suddenly attacked, and Li Zhen would definitely be captured alive in one fell swoop, or killed in one move.

The boat gang has no leader, and it is bound to panic. A group of rabble, as long as they saw the leader killed, would definitely fall apart and immediately scatter and flee.

As soon as the three of them entered the door just now, they saw that in addition to Li Zhen and Li Xing, there were three other people in the hall. Ximen Mountain's vision, as soon as he saw the expressions of the three of them, he knew that their martial arts were at most comparable to Li Xing, and they should not be Luo Chuan and Feixiang's opponents.

That's why Feixiang made a disrespectful speech, intending to anger Li Zhen and let him show all his hole cards first. Li Zhen knew that the martial arts of the three people in Ximen Mountain were not weak, and of course he would send out the strongest people in the boat gang as soon as possible.

Although the boat gang surrounded the three of Ximen Mountain, no one dared to rush forward. They all knew that these three people were very powerful, and the first few people who went up would definitely die. Of course, this is also because Li Zhen has not yet issued the final attack order, and he is also hesitating.

Li Zhen thought to himself that if he could kill the three of Ximen Mountain together, there would be no big problem. But if they are allowed to escape, the result will be quite serious, and the situation will be out of control.

Li Zhen and Luo Chuan fought yesterday, but they were defeated by his Luo Chuan's men. Li Zhen was really not sure that he could kill the three people of Ximen Mountain at the same time. Therefore, Li Zhen set up an ambush and wanted to call out first to test Ximen Mountain and others.

But Li Zhen saw that the three of Ximen Mountain were not panicked, and they looked confident. The three of them didn't pay attention to everyone at all, and they didn't even look at them a few times. This made Li Zhen even more unconfident in his heart, and he didn't dare to give the order to do it.

Because once you do it, there's no room for maneuver. Ximen Shan saw that everyone was just staring at him viciously, but there was no sign of making a move.

Ximen Shan had already seen it, and he didn't say anything, so he hurriedly said: "Gang Master Li, you are really setting up a Hongmen banquet!" However, you have to think clearly, if you do it again this time, and you want to talk about it later, it will not be so easy! ”

Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The leader of this gang is not such a villain, just now your granddaughter was too rude, and he actually insulted his brothers in front of him." Then the brothers were angry. ”

Li Zhen naturally knew about this move, and I am afraid that there will be no chance of peace talks in the future. He saw that Ximen Mountain looked confident, so he didn't dare to give an order rashly. Ximen Shan heard that he lacked confidence, and seemed to be a little weak-hearted, so he wanted to force him.

Ximen Shan immediately stood up and said, "Since you are not sincere, there is no need to talk about it anymore." We take our leave, you'd better let these people retreat, you must know that swords and guns are merciless, and people cannot be resurrected after death! ”

Li Zhen was in a hurry and said, "Old gentleman, please sit down first, you have something to say." For your request, we can consider it! ”

Ximen Shan was a little surprised to see that he Li Zhen was showing weakness, so he had to pretend to be quiet, and then said along the way: "Gang Master Li, since this is the case, we won't let these people surround us, right?" ”

Li Zhen was helpless, and with a wave of his hand, the boat gang immediately retreated. Only then did Ximen Shan sit down again and said, "Gang Master Li has already expressed his sincerity, so let's continue to talk!" Three girls, you finish what you didn't say just now, and then finish talking! ”

Feixiang replied and said, "Gang Master Li, if you really want to negotiate peace, we hope that you can make compensation for what you have done before." ”

Li Zhenqiang held back his anger and asked, "How do you want us to compensate?" ”

Feixiang smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I won't want too much of you, just a thousand taels of gold!" ”

Li Zhen was shocked and shouted, "Not much? Miss Simon, you dare to open your mouth. The lives of dozens of mountain and wild villagers actually demanded a thousand taels of gold from us! ”

Feixiang's face sank, and she said coquettishly: "Although the village man has a humble status, he is also a human life. Moreover, those you have killed are the breadwinners of their families, and their families will be left without support. The lives of the dozens of people we took are worth a lot of money, right? ”

When Li Zhen heard Feixiang's words, his heart was so anxious that he couldn't help blurting out: "You are a girl, how can you threaten me with other people's lives?" ”

Fei Xiang was so clever, as soon as he heard Li Zhen's tone, he knew that he valued those who were captured very much. Zhifeixiang couldn't figure it out, but when he ran away yesterday, it was a different performance.

Feixiang originally said it casually, but at this moment, she had a plan in her heart, so she said: "Gang Master Li misunderstood, we definitely have no intention of using the lives of those people to blackmail you." Gang Leader Li, I'm just reminding you. ”

Li Zhen hesitated for a moment and asked, "You mean that if we promise to take out a thousand taels of gold, you will be willing to let go of your brothers?" Are there any other requirements? ”

Luo Chuan Liu immediately replied: "In addition, you must also promise that you will not invade the village of ten miles near Taohua Village in the future. If something like this happens again, it won't be a matter of a few taels of gold. Of course, we will not embarrass your helpers. We will not force them to go where they go, they will choose! ”

After listening to this, Li Zhen couldn't help but hesitate. A thousand taels of gold is not a small amount, he thought for a long time before he said: "Although this incident was caused by us, this gang has also killed and injured hundreds of people, and your request is too much. The leader of this gang also wants to turn the conflict into a jade silk, and is willing to make some compensation. But a thousand taels of gold is too much, and we don't have that much gold. As a sign of our sincerity, I will promise to compensate you five hundred taels of gold. What do you think? ”

Luo Chuan immediately said: "Gang Leader Li, this is not doing business, you can also bargain, this is our bottom line, it can't be changed!" With the power of the Boat Gang in Nanyang, this should be something that can be easily done. ”

Li Zhen didn't dare to agree immediately, hesitated for a while, and then said: "Your requirements are too high, and I can't scrape together so much gold for a while." I see that you will allow me to consider it for a few days, and then I will give you an answer. I don't know if it's possible? ”
