Act VII:

day, exterior view

Liu Sheng's army marched through the mountains in groups, following the birds' tracks from all directions to the outside of a village.

The village has a wall, and the wall looks freshly built.

Liu Sheng's army, armed with bloody steel knives and all kinds of spears and spears, stood outside the wall with fanatical cheers, and some of the birds cried: This village still has a wall, is it a thief's nest? It was just repaired, why is the village still open? The birds flew to this village and never came out again. No wonder there is no one in every village here, it seems that they are all hiding in this village, and the birds are flying towards this village, there must be someone in this village, kill, go in and kill, and find the nest of thieves.

Some soldiers (shouting): Why are some people still opening the gate of the village? Aren't you afraid that we will go in and kill them?

Some soldiers (carnival): Maybe they forgot to close the door, and they were frightened by us, so they just went in, killed- ah-

They all shouted and rushed into the village.

Shouting and rushing in, there was no sound for a while, and the inside of the Zhuangzi was still quiet.

Soldier standing outside the wall (howling): Why is there no sound after only going in for a while?

Shen Shijie (holding two sledgehammers and riding up, shouting): Why don't you go inside? What are you doing standing outside?

Soldiers (shouting in unison): General Shen, there are already a lot of people going in, but they only see them coming in but not coming out, and there is no sound when they go in, and if they don't see a single person coming out, there won't be anything eating people inside, right?

Shen Shijie (got off the horse, stopped, looked at Zhuangzi carefully, and said to himself, Bai): What's going on? How can there be something eating people inside? How can there be a wall in this village? There is no one on the wall, and the door of the village is open, why is this? Could it be that there are thieves in this village? If there are thieves, how can there be no one on the wall guarding the wall? What are you doing with the door of the village? Is it just a net to wait? I want to take a closer look at what is going on, and I can't rush in. You, you, you, you, all go in and see what the situation is, and when you encounter a situation, you can shout quickly, or come back to report the situation.

Soldier (Bai who is all afraid): General, the situation inside is scary, why don't we all go in together.

Shen Shijie (angry white): Bastard, don't kill the violators, go in.

More than ten soldiers (had to be nervous and very frightened to walk towards the village. ）

Shen Shijie (watched the soldiers enter the village gate without blinking, the soldiers disappeared behind the village gate, waited for a while, did not hear any sound inside, and did not see anyone come back to report the situation. I can't help but say to myself: It's strange, what is the situation? How can this be? Since I, Shen Shijie, entered the village on the order of the marshal to kill people, I have not lost a single soldier, and all the villages I have passed through have been killed and killed, and the soldiers will shout and kill when they enter the village, but why do I only see people entering and not going out today? If I go in and there is no sound, will I meet some richer rich man? There are more and better treasures for them to rob? No, it's not right to have a wall, and this situation is even more wrong, I have to report to my brother Shen Shi as soon as possible, and let my brother decide what the situation is, he must be bigger than my official.

Mr. Shen Shizong (clapping the horse and waving Guan Gong's big knife ran over, but before he reached Shen Shijie, he shouted): Shijie, what's going on? Why can't you stand still?

Shen Shijie (turned to Shen Shizong): Brother, you came just in time, this village is different from other villages, not only has a wall, but also the people who go in can only see in but can't get out, and there is no movement as soon as we enter.

Shen Shizong (in front of Shen Shijie, got off the horse, and looked at the Zhuangzi wall first, Bai): Tsk, it's not right that this village has a wall, it's like it has just been repaired, but how can there be a wall that is not guarded? The village gate is still open? Aren't you afraid that we will go in? Aren't you afraid that we will attack? If it was Tang Sai'er's nest that had just been built, Tang Sai'er would be so bold? Tang Sai'er was not like this? So what's going on? Tang Sai'er was defeated in the Qingzhou Imperial Stone Shed, but he didn't have any strength, if it wasn't Tang Sai'er, what was going on? Let people go in and take a look, I don't believe that people will not move when they go in, even if the pig goes in and is frightened, it will bark and run.

Shen Shijie (pointing to a dozen or so soldiers): Hurry up and go in and have a look.

More than a dozen soldiers (look at Shen Shijie, and then look at Shen Shizong, seeing that Shen Shizong was expressionless and murderous, he had to tremble and take the weapon in his hand and walk towards the village gate step by step. ）

After a dozen soldiers entered the village gate, they were still as silent as before and disappeared.

Mr. Shen Shi (waited for a while, his face full of doubt.) ）

Shen Shijie (to Shen Shizong): Brother, isn't it?

Mr. Shen Shi (looking at the village gate and talking to himself, white): It's strange, even if the pig goes in and encounters a situation, there is a sound, how can there be no sound? There won't be many beauties inside, right? No, they all see beautiful women who want to be sons-in-law and are reluctant to come out, so there is no sound, so that we are afraid and dare not go in.

Shen Shijie (worried to Shen Shi): Will this be the case?

Shen Shizong (white): How could this not be the case? You forgot that there was a soldier in a village, and when he saw a beautiful woman, he closed the gate and didn't let people in, and he wanted to be a son-in-law inside, until we went in and killed the beautiful woman.

Shen Shijie (to Shen Shizong): But will there be so many beauties today? Will they all want to be a son-in-law in it?

Mr. Shen Shi (white): Will there be such a possibility again, did you meet a good baby inside?

Shen Shijie (white): Even if you meet a baby, can you still meet a baby by yourself without fighting or grabbing it? Will there be so many treasures?

Mr. Shen Shi (white): It's not right. Could it be that the remnants of the White Lotus Sect's anti-thieves are hiding inside? Could it be the lair of the White Lotus Sect?

Shen Shijie (white): I can't eat accurately.

Mr. Shen Shijie (looked at Zhuangmen again with a heavy face, gritted his teeth, rolled his eyes, and looked at Shen Shijie again.) ）

Shen Shijie (with a blank look on his face.) ）

Mr. Shen Shi (suddenly like a spirit, suddenly happy and excited Bai): Shijie, it seems that our opportunity to make great contributions has arrived, do you think, the White Lotus Sect was defeated and lost in the Imperial Stone Shed, how many troops are there now? If we all go in together and catch the thief Tang Sai'er, wouldn't this be a great achievement?

Shen Shijie (look at Shen Shizongbai): You said Tang Sai'er is inside? This is Tang Sai'er's thief's nest?

Mr. Shen Shizong (white): It's entirely possible. Shijie: Don't act rashly at the West Gate, after I transfer all 10,000 troops and surround Zhuangzi on all sides, I will go to the North Gate, and all three of you will obey my orders, and at the same time the four gates will attack, and in one fell swoop, the remnants of the White Lotus Sect will be wiped out here, and they must not be allowed to break through and escape alone.

Shen Shijie (Li Kebai): Yes.

Act VIII:

day, exterior view

Mr. Shen Shi (led the army to stand outside the north gate.) ）

Suddenly, the north gate of the village was closed.

Hong Renquan (suddenly came out and stood on the Zhuangmen Tower, very majestic with silver armor all over his body, shouting): Look at you, you are the general who came to slaughter the officers and soldiers of the village, right?

Mr. Shen Shi (looked up at Hong Renquan in surprise, confessed): I said, how can there be no one? Seeing that I am going to attack, isn't it appearing? (looking up and shouting at Hong Renquan) Who are you?

Hong Renquan (shouting): General, can we discuss? As long as you promise not to slaughter this village, we will not hurt any of you, and we will release all your people back.

Mr. Shen Shi (confession): Sure enough, the people who went in were captured by them, but how could they all be arrested without a sound? (shouting:) Old man, you are so bold that you dare to arrest all our officers and soldiers, who are you? Are you the remnants of the White Lotus Sect?

Hong Renquan (shouting): No, we are all villagers.

Mr. Shen Shi (shouting): Villagers? (pause) Okay, since you're not, then you can quickly release the people I put in. If you dare to hurt any of them, I will leave no chickens and dogs in your village.

Hong Renquan (shouting): General, Hugh must be arrogant, and if you want to release them, you must first have a condition.

Mr. Shen (shouting): What conditions?

Hong Renquan (shouting): We must promise not to slaughter this village before we can release them.

Mr. Shen Shizong (confession): How can you not eat the meat in your mouth? (suddenly changing his face and shouting angrily:) Nonsense, don't you kill them all? If you come to coax me again, how can I let you go? Otherwise, you will kill them, and talk nonsense and deceive people, otherwise, how can there be no sound to be caught?, even if you catch pigs, pigs will bark, not to mention that these are still trained troops, who will believe your nonsense?

Hong Renquan (shouting): General, it's not hard to make you believe that your people are still alive. (With a wave of his hand, the soldiers of the original advanced village were all tied up and escorted to the wall,) General, look, are they all your people?

The Ming army began to stir, and some (called): Isn't that Zhang San? Isn't that Wang Wu? That's not••••••

Hong Renquan (shouting): General, as long as the general agrees to our request, we can release them all, what do you think?

Mr. Shen Shizong (shouting to the tied officers and soldiers): How did they get caught? Why didn't you make a sound? Can't you even shout?

Some of the soldiers who were tied up on the wall (shouted): General Shen, they are so powerful, after we entered the village, we saw some beautiful women running, so we followed to chase, but we chased far away and just turned a corner, and suddenly some people came out, and they all covered us with ropes, what is the use of us shouting again?

Mr. Shen Shi (angrily muttering to himself): Sure enough, I met beautiful women, (angrily shouting) Why don't you all be sons-in-law inside?

The tied soldier (let him shout): General, help us, we are all attracted and confused by beautiful women for a while.

Mr. Shen Shizong (shouting): Shut up, you have ruined General Ben's plan. It seems that you are the remnants of the White Lotus Party, and you want to survive here? You think that arresting a few of my people will make me submit? But you are wrong, do you know that General Ben is powerful? You know that you should release them quickly.

Hong Renquan (shouting): General, we are not the White Lotus Remnant Party, we are indeed all villagers.

Mr. Shen Shi (shouting): Then what do you say, what is your name, what is this village called, who are you from this village, and why are you still wearing armor?

Hong Renquan (shouting): My name is Hong Renquan, our village is called Hongjiazhuang, I am the leader of the self-defense group organized by the villagers in the village to defend themselves, I don't know how to call the general Gao's surname?

Mr. Shen Shi (shouting): General Ben's surname is Mr. Shen Mingshi, do you know General Ben's name?

Hong Renquan (shouting): It turned out to be General Shen?

Mr. Shen (shouting): Shut up, did General Shen also shout from you, a thief?

Hong Renquan (shouting): It seems that General Shen is not sincere?

Mr. Shen Shi (shouting): Who is sincere with you, a thief? General Ben is not sincere, are you sincere? If you are sincere, release the people as soon as possible, and then come out yourself, and we will negotiate.

Hong Renquan (shouting): If the general agrees to my request, I will release him immediately and go out to negotiate with the general in person.

Mr. Shen Shi (self-muttering): Capture the thief and capture the king first, so it's just right. Okay, I promise you to negotiate, but I can't be the master, you have to come out quickly and follow me to see Marshal Liu Sheng, you can talk about the success depends on your sincerity, as long as you are sincere, I think it will not be difficult for the marshal to agree to your request.

Hong Renquan (shouting): Okay, since the general said so, then General Lao Shen will lead us to Marshal Liu. (After shouting, disappear on the Zhuang Gate Tower.) ）

Mr. Shen Shi (confession): Hmph, you want me to have an affair with them? Hurry up and prepare the bow and arrow, and when he opens the door of the village and comes out, give me ten thousand arrows to shoot him to death, as long as the thief is dead, it is not difficult to attack this village.

The archer immediately drew his arrow.

The door of Hongjiazhuang is wide open.

Hong In-quan (walked out with the two people on the left and right.) ）

Shen Shizong waved his hand violently, and immediately the soldiers standing in front squatted down, and the archers hidden behind fiercely held the arrows and pulled the strings, revealing ten thousand arrows in unison.

Hong Ren was too late to draw his sword, and fell to the ground with an arrow. The other two fell to the ground with arrows in their faces.

Inside the Hongjiazhuang Gate,

Hongxiu girl Hong Siba and Hong Yunxiu immediately risked their bows and arrows to rescue the three of them.

Hong Renquan and the three were rescued back to Zhuang.

Hongxiu Nu (seeing that the other two were dead, grandpa Hong Renquan was protected by armor, but he was also in danger, he hurriedly pulled out an arrow to apply the medicine to his grandfather, and saw that his grandfather was unconscious, and he suddenly heard the sound of killing outside the village, and hurriedly waved tears and ordered): Hurry up and carry grandpa down to find Langzhong. (Then, angrily got on the horse and shouted) Four-eight, Yunxiu, follow me to kill and avenge grandpa.

The north gate of Hongjiazhuang suddenly opened.

The red show girl rushed out of the village first.
