Chu Hou seemed to be strange when he heard what Tang An said, so he called Cai Tai over for interrogation together.

"Lao Cai, you listen to the side, tell me if there is anything wrong with what he says. ”

"Yes. Cai Tai responded.

Chu Hou continued to ask: "Tang An, what kind of play is the 'fake fight' you just said?"

Tang An said: "It was a large group of officers and soldiers who came out of the city, blowing and beating, shouting and drinking, eating a lot of grain from the common people along the way, and then going to the bottom of the mountain, some of them fought two battles, and dozens of people died and then withdrew; some of them shouted and shouted at the bottom of the mountain, shot two arrows casually, and left after shooting." ”

Chu Hou turned his head and asked Cai Taidao, "Is there anything he said?"

Cai Tai said: "It was basically like this before. ”

Chu Hou said: "That's why. ”

Cai Tai said: "I may not be able to fight and I don't want to die, so I don't want to fight." But you have to give an explanation to the people, so you have to pretend. ”

Chu Hou frowned and said, "Go up and shoot a few arrows casually, is it to explain to the common people?" ”

Cai Tai smiled: "Yes, yes, those chiefs are not highly conscious, and there are no heroes like Chu Hou." ”

Chu Hou smiled: "Lao Cai, you are here again." Then he asked Tang An: "So this time, you saw that we came to crusade, and the momentum was huge along the way, and you thought that we were here to pretend to give an 'explanation' to the people, right?" ”

Tang An said: "Yes! Who knows that you will fight to the death as soon as you come up! We haven't fought a desperate battle for many years." ”

Chu Hou was a little frivolous when he won this battle, but now when he heard him say this, he thought that he really shouldn't think too highly of himself, if this time they worked hard as soon as they came up, the first battle would be played by the four masters, and the number of wins and losses was really hard to say. Then he asked: "You just said that the second master is not guarding the mountain pass, and the big boss is in the cottage on the mountain, right?"

Tang An said: "Yes." ”

Chu Hou said: "What level are these two people?"

Tang An said: "The second master does not have a lion to concentrate on the sixth stage, and the big master has a five-clawed dragon concentration on the fifth stage." ”

Chu Hou said: "Nonsense! Why is it that the one with a lower rank is a big master, and the one with a higher rank is a second master?"

Tang An said: "The villain doesn't dare to talk nonsense, just because the big boss is shrewd and capable, so everyone obeys the five-clawed dragon to be the big boss." Although the second master is not brainless, he is just a brave man. ”

Chu Hou said: "I see, what is the situation at the pass guarded by the other lion?"

Tang An said: "It's very steep, and you usually have to use a rope to tie the basket to go up, which is why the third or fourth master is usually at the bottom of the mountain, it's too difficult to go up." ”

Chu Hou said: "Okay, you go down." He handed him the meat, and asked his men to take him aside, and from time to time the sound of him eating was heard in the air.

Hearing him say this, Chu Hou hesitated, the first battle was relatively easy, but it also folded the waning moon, and his energy was consumed by nearly half, with this half of his energy, it is not impossible to fight other body lions, but if it is a war of attrition, how can he fight the five-clawed dragon again? I also heard that the five-clawed dragon has a flying dragon group of dozens of people, all of which are composed of cultivators, so it is even more difficult to fight. Moreover, listening to Tang An's words, it seems that he doesn't even have a chance to fight with other lions, but he leads the army to be condescending, which is undoubtedly even more difficult.

Cai Tai looked at Chu Hou with a hesitant look, as if he was in a predicament, Cai Tai is a very shrewd person, seeing this, he knew that Chu Hou was not very confident in the next battle, and now it seems that there is a lack of a step, of course Cai Tai has to give him this step, so Cai Tai said: "The lord went out this time, beheaded two bandits in a row, and captured hundreds of prisoners, which can already be regarded as a big victory, which is enough to report the will of heaven and reassure the people." It would be very honorable for this class to return to the city. ”

Chu Hou shook his head and said: "It is indeed a victory, but firstly, the foundation of Niutou Mountain has not been damaged, and if we leave, they will have to harass the people, withhold taxes, and even retaliate against us; second, the old man's great revenge has not been avenged, and his daughter has not been recovered; the most important thing is, what are we here for? We are here to rob things! We are all about to sell ourselves, what is the use of only robbing back a large number of people now!" Speaking of which, Chu Zhongli was excited. attracted many people to look sideways, but under Chu Hou's gaze, he turned his face back again.

Lao Cai saw that he was anxious, and he was angry, and he was too frightened to speak. Just watched Chu Hou's face continue to be ugly.

After a while, Chu Hou's sad face suddenly stretched, and he said to Cai Tai: "Old Cai, do you think you can fit in my clothes?"

In fact, Chu Hou's words were just literal, but Lao Cai's intestines were bent, and he heard this: "Lao Cai, do you want to sit in my position as Chu Hou in Linjiang?" was so frightened that his face was like earth, and he quickly knelt down and said: "Chu Hou is above, I don't dare to do this rebellious thing if I kill me!"

Chu Hou couldn't cry or laugh, helped him up, and said, "Hey, Lao Cai, where do you want to go, I suddenly thought of a plan." This strategy requires the cooperation of the two of us. ”

"What kind of strategy?" Lao Cai was scared into a cold sweat, just calmed down, and asked.

"Drop the bag. Chu Hou said with a smile.

"How to use the bag plan, please make it clear. Cai Tai said.

"So ...... so" Chu Hou said a few words in Cai Tai's ear, Cai Tai applauded and laughed, and the words of praise continued.

Chu Hou called Zhang Feizi, found a secluded place with Cai Tai, changed the clothes of the two, and shaved off Cai Tai's beard, and asked Zhang Feizi to stick it on Chu Hou's own face, Zhang Feizi used some glue to paste Cai Tai's beard.

"Hey, Lao Cai, you look very energetic, it's the same as being ten years younger! The lord is also a lot calmer. Zhang Feizi commented.

"Just look like that, I'll have to get it off after a while, it's too uncomfortable to glue the hairs on my face. Chu Hou said.

After Chu Hou came out, some people who knew him were surprised, and he didn't explain anything, and the smart people understood it themselves.

At this time, the soldiers had already rested, and they were about to march to the mountain, but these hundreds of captives could not be taken up, at least one person and dozens of soldiers had to be left to watch, so Chu Hou said: "Wanyue, you stay here and watch the captives." ”

Wanyue shook her head like a rattle and said, "No, Master, I just worshipped you as a teacher, how can I not see your majesty with my own eyes? ”

Zhang Feizi patted his stomach and said, "Boss, I'll stay here and watch the captive, right?"

Chu Zhongli said: "No, I will have to use you later, not to mention that you are not murderous, you can't suppress them, and you are inexperienced." ”

Zhang Feizi said: "Then Xu Yuan, he, he has experience." ”

Chu Zhongli said: "No, I have to rely on him to command the army." ”

Zhang Feizi said: "Then Lao Cai...... No, Lao Cai has to pretend to be you, so there is no one!"

At this time, Feng Yi lost no time in stepping forward, half-knelt on the ground, and said, "Villain Feng Yi, I don't know if Lord Chuhou remembers, can you give the villain another chance this time." ”

Chu Hou nodded: "Well, Feng Yi, yes, it's okay for you to send a letter before, but this time it's okay to look at the captives......"

In fact, to be honest, when Chu Hou asked Feng Yi to send the letter, he didn't value Feng Yi's talent, but he valued Feng Yi's courage, and after sending the letter, Chu Hou had a higher opinion of Feng Yi, but if he talked about military talent, Chu Zhongli would not believe that his ability could surpass those grassroots officers under him. Originally, Chu Hou thought that since Yueyuan Yantai didn't look at it, there would be no problem in finding a grassroots officer to watch it, but Feng Yi suddenly came out, and Chu Hou really had to think about it without Feng Yi.

Feng Yi saw that Chu Hou was hesitating, obviously unable to believe himself, and was very anxious in his heart, when he suddenly saw a captive sneaking in the group of captives out of the corner of his eye, looking east and west, and squatting while moving out of the crowd.

This time it helped Feng Yi, Feng Yi pointed at his hand and shouted: "Hey, what are you doing!" Fei stepped forward, kicked him down, kicked him down with another kick, kicked out a few of his teeth, and blood flowed out of the captive's mouth, the captive waved his hand indiscriminately and shouted for mercy, but Feng Yi did not relent, and still hit him hard in the face, blood splashed out again and again, and the captive next to him saw it, and his face showed a look of fear. Even some of the soldiers couldn't bear to look at it.

"Okay, okay, I'll give you this task, you stop. Chu Hou said lightly. Feng Yi, Feng Yi, for a chance to perform, you can really work so hard. As soon as these words came out, Feng Yi's fist that was about to hit the captive's face instantly stopped in the air.

"Thank you, Lord Chuhou!" Feng Yi stopped, and the captive fell to the ground, bleeding from his eyes, nose, and mouth, and he had already fainted. Feng Yi walked out of the crowd, knelt down and kowtowed to Chu Hou a few times before standing up, and then went to lead dozens of brothers to arrange for the guards to take prisoners.

Except for dozens of whirlwind troops guarding the prisoners under the leadership of Feng Yi, all the others followed Chu Hou up the mountain, and the waning moon was still carried by Zhang Feizi. This mountain road is very difficult to walk, you have to raise your legs to take a step forward, some places the mountain road is still very narrow, only one or two people can pass, that kind of situation has to pass slowly, and even sometimes the cliff also rolls down the gravel, crackling sound, although it does not hurt people, but also scares the soldiers a lot.

Chu Hou has the power of the Eastern Emperor in his body, so he naturally doesn't feel that there is anything difficult to walk on this mountain road, but seeing the soldiers walking so hard, he can't help but sigh in his heart, although the old saying "the location is not as good as the people", but the location is also quite important, like this Niutou Mountain is so steep, the defense provided for the group of robbers can be imagined, if it is not for this Niutou Mountain, their career will not be able to develop so much.

And over there, Zhang Feizi ate a belly of beef, and he had the strength, and he could carry the waning moon on his back and be able to carry it, although it was difficult to walk on the mountain road, but he had "looking, smelling, asking, and cutting", and his perception was different from ordinary people, and he was tired of walking the mountain road, but there was no danger. The waning moon is even happier, someone carries her on this mountain road, just like playing in the mountains and rivers, and even hums a song.
