Regarding Xiao Rang's bold words, Wang Ying, Yan Shun and Shi Qian naturally didn't believe it, even Pei Xuan, who knew his ability, was not very confident at this time.

But the situation is already very critical, the other party is prepared, and there must be a perfect plan, in this case, they are powerless to reverse the situation. So although they didn't believe Xiao Rang's words, they had to try their best, and the dead horse was used as a live horse doctor.

So Xiao Rang easily got the command of more than 500 troops.

Yan Shun and the others all stared at Xiao Rang, wanting to see what means he had to dare to say such a thing. Xiao Rang didn't explain, but he looked like he was in his chest, which seemed to give people a kind of confidence and heroism that would win.

"Scout, report the latest movements. In his position, seeking his government, Xiao Rang was unequivocal.

"More than 800 people from Taohua Mountain are along the southeast trail, a few miles from the foot of my Qingfeng Mountain, and there are more than 1,200 people from Baihu Mountain, and they are only a few miles from the northeast trail, and they can reach the gate of our cottage in a quarter of an hour!" the scout tried to speed up his speech and simplify the content of the report.

"Well, I see, let's see. After hearing the news, Xiao Rang's expression did not change in the slightest, but walked to the edge of the seat and sat down, picked up the teacup in the conference hall and drank tea.

This made the four people here unable to understand.

"I said, what are you doing here? Sitting here and doing nothing, waiting to die? You must know that there is going to be a kill over there, and there is only a quarter of an hour left!" Wang Xiaohu was very unhappy, he didn't like Xiao Rang very much. He is less than six feet five inches tall, which is one meter five when calculated, even if he is a woman, he is too short, let alone a man, so he is the most despised; Fortunately, he was born with greater strength than ordinary people, and at the age of twenty, he was the first strong man in the township, so everyone who dared to laugh at him in front of him was beaten by him. But because of his height, he couldn't find a daughter-in-law, and those normal women were unwilling to marry him. So he simply robbed a woman, and because of this, he had to be arrested by the government. So he came to be a bandit and took refuge in Qingfeng Mountain. Yan Shun, the owner of the village, did not dislike his figure, and later because of his true ability, he also made him the second master, and the relationship between the two was very good. After grasping a certain amount of power, he felt that many people were talking about his height behind his back, so he was very sensitive and irritable. So he was most resistant to Xiao Rang, who was tall and handsome, from the beginning, and now Xiao Rang stood up again, which naturally made him very unhappy, taking this opportunity, of course he wanted to vent, not to mention, he really didn't know if Xiao Rang really had a way to repel the enemy who came to attack and protect his stockade.

"Second master, don't rush, take your time. Xiao Rang looked at the two and the three of them who seemed to be a little anxious, so they were embarrassed to pretend to be steady, smiled, and said: "Brothers, all along, several big cottages in Qingzhou have been living in peace and have no contact with each other.

"Speaking of which, Yang Lin, the 'Golden Leopard', came here a few days ago to persuade us to join their 'Northern Green Forest Association', saying that it was the largest alliance of green forest heroes in the north led by Lu Junyi, the 'Jade Qilin' in Beijing. But we didn't agree, and sent him away at will. Other than that, there is nothing else going on in the village these days. "Pei Xuan is in charge of the day-to-day affairs of the cottage and is very clear about this.

"Brother Kongmu, you forgot, this guy only joined in the past few days, this time he joined, the two sides joined forces to attack us, who knows if there is a connection between this?" Wang Ying saw that Xiao Rang was unhappy, and after listening to Pei Xuan's words, he felt that he had caught something, so he immediately stood up and accused Xiao Rang and poured dirty water on him, at least to make him unhappy.

It was Yan Shun who stopped him. "Okay, now Xiao Rang is already a brother to all of us, Wang Ying, don't talk nonsense, Brother Xiao is already a part of the cottage, and there will be no problems. ”

As the founder of the cottage, although Yan Shun usually drinks like a doctor and doesn't care about things, he has a great prestige at this time, and his words are very useful.

Wang Ying respected Yan Shun very much, so he didn't say much. As for Wang Ying's words, Xiao Rang did not evade it, nor did he look angry, because since he was hurt by the imperial court, his heart of loyalty to the country has changed a lot, not only his views on the country, himself, and the people, but also his attitude towards everything has changed a lot.

"It should be this reason, since it is two sides attacking, then I have a question. Xiao Rang said without thinking.

"Oh, is it because of this, is it really possible!" Pei Xuan was the first to figure it out, he just didn't see the connection between the two at first, and when Xiao Rang reminded him, he naturally saw the key at once.

"What kind of thing did they all join because we didn't join, they want to make an example of chickens and monkeys, and set an example for other mountains?" Shi Qian also quickly thought of it, and Yan Shun and Wang Ying over there also suddenly realized when they heard it.

"Then your question, is Erlong Mountain?" Pei Xuan had already figured it out, and naturally thought of Erlong Mountain. "Did they also join the 'Northern Green Forest Society'?"

Xiao Rang nodded, "That's right, the strongest of our four is Erlong Mountain, and even if the other three are combined, they are not necessarily their opponents." ”

Yan Shun's faces were also very solemn, if Erlong Mountain also had to participate, they would have no ability to resist at all.

"They are so strong, they won't participate in the meeting of Na Laoshizi, otherwise they will destroy us directly by sending three or four thousand troops, how simple is it?" Wang Ying felt that even a small cottage like himself was unwilling to participate in such a Jianghu Alliance, let alone the largest cottage base in the north like Erlong Mountain?

"It may be that Erlongshan thinks that the combined strength of the two parties is enough to clean us up, and he doesn't take us seriously at all. Pei Xuan didn't think like that, after all, Lu Junyi's fame was very big in the north, except for the situation like Qingfeng Mountain, ordinary cottages would definitely not oppose such an alliance.

"That's right, so, I want to ask you, whether it is war or peace, this matter is very important, there is not much time, you have to decide quickly. "Xiao Rang doesn't sell Guanzi, because there is really not a lot of time.

"Peace? Now that the opponent's army is about to be killed, what is the difference between seeking peace at this time and escaping from the battle? Even if you want to make peace, you have to fight first!" It was Wang Ying who said this, because he had been ridiculed since he was a child, so he had a very strong sense of self-esteem, and the most unbearable thing was insults and ridicule.

"That's right, I built this cottage because I couldn't stand the instructions of the imperial court, and now I join them, isn't it subject to other restrictions? In this case, what's the point of me building this cottage!" Yan Shun was also reluctant to ask for peace, because what he wanted was freedom.

"Fight to fight, I don't care. Shi Qian agreed in a relaxed tone.

Seeing that the three of them directly agreed, Pei Xuan had no room for opposition. "Okay, then fight, there's nothing to say. It's just that now that a stick of incense has passed, if they march in a hurry, it won't be long before they reach the mountain, what are your plans?" Pei Xuan felt that Xiao Rang was a little too confident, and for the sake of prudence, he still asked.

"Okay, since we have all decided to fight, then I'm not welcome, and let you see my methods!" Xiao Rang didn't answer Pei Xuan's question, because there was not enough time to explain
