Yinmachuan is located in Jixian County, Tianjin, not far from the imperial capital, which is why it is robbed here and harvested a lot.

If it is outside the customs, there are sparsely populated and the number of customers is too small in this era, how can you feed a village of people?

Because the mountains are beautiful, the water surrounds the peaks, so it is called the Drinking Horse River.

Yinmachuan is surrounded by high mountains, and there is a post road in the middle, which is really a good place to kill people and sell goods, and rob houses.

On weekdays, there are many thieves here, and the merchants are all frightened, but the government is also because of the steep terrain here, and many expeditions and suppressions have been fruitless, so they simply ignore it and let the thieves run rampant.

The cottage is located in a key point on the mountain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but for these more than 100 skilled Ouchi guards, these are not a problem.

Due to the inconvenience of communication, it was not certain whether Tian Guinong had gone up the mountain, so under Xu Yang's arrangement, everyone found a few farmhouses and lived first.

As for the people in those peasant households, can they live in this mountain and wilderness, and what kind of good people can they be, bring shackles, first escort them back to Jixian County, and then slowly interrogate them after they turn around and wipe out all the people in the cottage.

After waiting for a few days, the guards waited impatiently, but Xu Yang practiced martial arts every day, and sometimes took the time to refine a few doses of medicine, and the whole person was very busy.

Finally, when several leading guards looked for Xu Yang three or four times, and even some people thought that Ruan Shizhong had defected, an agreed code came from the mountain.

A bronze mirror was tied to a tree on the mountainside, and the reflection of the setting sun shone brightly, and the guards by the river found it and went up to find it.

The stone under the bronze mirror, pressed with a piece of information, when opened, is a simple map depicting the exact location of the cottage.

In addition, there are three words, the farm has arrived.

Xu Yang clenched his fists, and it was done.

Without further ado, late will change.

That night, according to the map, more than 100 guards, in addition to arranging for 30 people to ambush under the mountain where the cottage is located, and catching the fish that escaped from the mountain at any time, more than 70 other people, plus Xu Yang, and the group sneaked up the mountain.

With a navigation system, Xu Yang is like a ghost, bypassing several dark piles and sentinels, these are small characters, there is no need to startle the snake.

Seeing the bonfire in the cottage from a distance, Xu Yang made a gesture, and the guards divided into three waves, and touched the various mountain roads according to the previous plan.

Soon, the battle took place.

This is unavoidable, and it is also what Xu Yang expects, which can help him clear out some of the cottage troops, and can also reduce the accidents he plans later.

There were few obstacles in his way, and he was the first to rush into the stockade.

The cottage stands on the mountain, and the other three sides are exactly three mountain roads.

Xu Yang's wave of people rushed in from the east side, which was the weakest side of the entire cottage defense.

Ruan Shizhong specially marked before that this side was guarded by the mad tiger, the owner of the four cottages, and the mad tiger's only hobby was good wine.

Ruan Shizhong had already fought with the Mad Tiger in advance, and drank with the Mad Tiger every night.

The two are still together at the moment, and the mad tiger has been filled with sycophants Ruan Shizhong, who is not clear about the east, west, north and south.

Hearing the sound of shouting and killing outside the house, Mad Tiger woke up for a while, and reluctantly got up to take a look.

However, there was a pain in his waist, and when he turned his head, Ruan Shizhong, who was already drunk to the side, had already stabbed into the key point in the waist of the mad tiger at this moment.

The smell of alcohol seemed to pour out of the mad tiger's body with blood, and he was awake in an instant.

However, at the same time, the strength in his body, the strength that he could not use up on a daily basis, also gushed out with the blood, and there was no trickle left.

The mad tiger, who understood everything, fell, and his round eyes could not be closed for a long time.

The cottage is broken.

Tian Guinong was in the house, feeling a little uneasy.

Ever since the sun set, this feeling has been haunting him, making him sit or stand.

The last time I felt this way was on the day when the Tianlong Gate was breached.

After that, he fled to the rivers and lakes, and under the shadow of being wanted and hunted down, he fled for nearly a month before finally hiding in the Yinmachuan cottage.

However, only a few days later, he learned about the tragic situation of Tianlongmen from Ruan Shizhong, who was also wanted and chased and fled.

Except for Nguyen Shi Trung, who forcibly escaped, everyone else was sentenced to death and executed after the autumn.

The crime is treason.

If the court knew that he had secretly possessed the treasure knife of the king, this crime would not be exclusive.

However, Ruan Shizhong didn't know, so he was angry.

Tian Guinong did doubt Ruan Shizhong's loyalty, but when he saw the almost disemboweling sword wound on Ruan Shizhong's chest, all his doubts turned into a rare guilt.

Ruan Shizhong, as his own junior disciple, actually did not get any benefits from him.

His martial arts were taught by Tian Guinong's father during his lifetime, and when Tian Guinong took over Tianlongmen ten years ago, Ruan Shizhong's martial arts stagnated.

Even if Ruan Shizhong is an unborn genius in the Tianlong Gate, his identity is destined to make him not make much progress.

However, with his extraordinary understanding and diligence, he still became the second only master in Tianlongmen.

And this time, it was precisely because of Tian Guinong's identity as a junior brother that Ruan Shizhong was targeted, if he hadn't escaped after breaking out and hurting people, according to normal operations, Ruan Shizhong would definitely have been executed in advance.

Fortunately, the junior brother survived in a desperate situation, so that he also had an extra hole card.

Otherwise, in the absence of power, in the face of the high reward of the imperial court, Tao Baisui may not be willing to continue to serve himself as the master.

It is more likely that he was caught by him and exchanged for a reward for silver and a piece of Zhao'an document from the imperial court.

Now that there is Ruan Shizhong, no matter how Tao Baisui has to weigh it again.

Besides, he is also temporarily avoiding here, and after avoiding this limelight, he still has to go to the Medicine King Valley.

At least there is not afraid that the government will come to arrest them, and they can poison as many as they come.

However, it has only been stable for a few days, and today he actually has a feeling of uneasiness again.

As night falls, this feeling grows stronger.

Don't?

At that moment, he heard shouts of killing.

Hurriedly rushed to the Juyi Hall, Tao Baisui and Ruan Shizhong were there, and Tian Guinong was relieved.

At least it's not Tao Baisui who colluded with the government to betray himself.

Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't even be able to escape.

As for the officers and soldiers outside the walled gate, Tian Guinong didn't pay too much attention to it.

There are three ways out of the cottage, and the officers and soldiers who are not familiar with the place can only know one or two at most, and they really can't hold it, so they can just run away by themselves.

As for Tao Baisui, he is not his father, so he doesn't care if he lives or dies.

After enjoying a good life with himself for ten years, it's time to sell his life for himself.

However, Tao Baisui's words made Tian Guinong instantly feel like falling into the freezer, chilling all over, and completely losing control.

"Officers and soldiers are killed from three sides, and there are internal ghosts. Tao Baisui gritted his teeth and said.

Tian Guinong looked at the two people in front of him suspiciously, at this moment, he felt that everyone was hateful, and everyone was suspicious.

Tao Baisui is the least likely to betray himself, even if he betrays, there will be a better way, than to let the officers and soldiers directly attack the cottage, he might as well open the gate and lead the officers and soldiers to arrest him.

Ruan Shizhong is also impossible, although he escaped from the Ouchi guards, but that sword is definitely not fake, even the shoulder blade of his right hand has been broken, what is the use of a Ruan Shizhong who has lost most of his martial arts?

However, the suspicion of these two people cannot be completely ruled out, if Tao Baisui arranged for the officers and soldiers to attack, and then betrayed himself to launder himself, it is not impossible.

The same is true for Ruan Shizhong, if he fails to escape, under the heavy punishment, he may not agree to be in the office.

As for the other leaders of the cottage, they are all suspicious, but they are still resisting with their minions and have not been able to appear in the Juyi Hall.

Seeing that Tian Guinong had been silent, Tao Baisui, who was impatient, simply pulled out the steel whip on his waist, faced Ruan Shizhong, and was ready to start.

In his opinion, Ruan Shizhong is the internal response, and there is no problem.

He knew that he was not Neiying, so the only possibility left was the seriously injured Ruan Shizhong in front of him.

It's a pity that Tian Guinong didn't know all this.

Facing the steel whip and facing the murderous Tao Baisui, Ruan Shizhong did not move.

At this point, no matter what he does, he will make his situation worse.

His only chance is that he knows the character of Tian Guinong better than anyone else.

The cold tone impacted Tian Guinong's thinking: "Master Tao Zhai, can't you bear it? Why don't you arrest our senior brothers and go to the officers and soldiers to ask for merit?"

Tao Baisui was not a clever person, Ruan Shizhong's inexplicable words, he didn't understand what it meant at all, and pointed at Ruan Shizhong with a steel whip, but he couldn't say anything to defend himself.

His actions speak far more convincing than his words.

With a steel whip down, Ruan Shizhong said anything else was false.

In the eyes of Tian Guinong, this is not the case.

He only knew that Tao Baisui was going to do it, and he was going to do it to himself, he didn't even bother to do the most basic cover-up, and directly pulled out his weapon against Ruan Shizhong and himself.

If you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust.

Tao Baisui turned his back to Tian Guinong, bent on taking down Ruan Shizhong first, and then saying something to explain Ruan Shizhong's slander.

He was very relieved of the other leaders in the village, and they trusted each other for many years.

Without their own approval, they absolutely did not dare to collude with officers and soldiers, attack the cottages, and arrest the peasants.

Although he had also moved the idea of selling the land and returning to the farmer before, but over the years, the land returned to the farmer and accumulated a deep authority, and without certainty, Tao Baisui did not dare to do it.

Especially after Tian Guinong's junior brother Ruan Shizhong went up the mountain with an injury, Tao Baisui was not sure that he would capture both of them in one fell swoop.

Although there are many people in the cottage, there are not many high-end combat power.

Everyone is tied together, and there is no 100% certainty in dealing with a farmer, coupled with Ruan Shizhong's not a light bargaining chip, Tao Baisui has no confidence that he can complete his plan without hurting his muscles and bones.
