"He deserves to die."

"If I hadn't come, what do you think would have happened?"

"And the children of good families have become corrupt after being bandits in the mountains for so many years."

"You won't forget the three village chiefs' wives, will you?"

"Besides, these people hurt you."

"I have no other advantages except that I love to hold grudges."

"Puchi~" Hearing Li Xiuzhu being so funny, Su Ru still laughed out loud even when she was feeling the most uncomfortable.

But after Li Xiuzhu said this, Su Ru fell silent again after laughing.

No matter what, it is an indisputable fact that those people have changed.

After sighing, Su Ru stopped worrying about this issue.

At this moment, a soldier suddenly appeared in front.

"General, those bandits want to negotiate with you."

Negotiation? Interesting.

Li Xiuzhu nodded when he heard this.

"Let them wait. Where is my carriage?"

"My Lord, we are almost at the foot of the mountain."

"Okay, go down."

As Li Xiuzhu said this, he picked up Su Ru amid her screams.

Panicked, Su Ru hurriedly said, "Put me down quickly."

However, Li Xiuzhu did not do so.

"The carriage can't go up the mountain. We have to go down. You don't have the strength now."

Su Ru wanted to say more, but Li Xiuzhu continued, "Don't worry, you are wearing a bamboo hat, so no one can see your face. As long as you don't come out of the carriage for the next two days, I guarantee that no one will know who you are."

After hearing what Li Xiuzhu said, Su Ru finally stopped talking.

At this moment, Su Ru's eyes were fixed on Li Xiuzhu's face, and it was unknown what she was thinking.

Although Li Xiuzhu noticed Su Ru's gaze, he did not expose her.

The two of them walked down the mountain and got on the carriage. Li Xiuzhu then told the driver, "Go to the front. I want to see what these guys want to talk to me about."

Compared to being a general, Li Xiuzhu prefers underworld titles.

"promise!"

"Hello~"

The carriage started, Li Xiuzhu glanced at Su Ru and said softly: "You can get some sleep. Don't worry, I'll be fine with me here."

Li Xiuzhu's words made Su Ru's heart tremble. What a woman needs most at this time is the words "I am here".

"Um!"

The Suru fell asleep as soon as he lay down.

Although there were several layers of soft cushions, the carriage was still shaking. But even so, she could fall asleep, which showed how tired Su Ru was.

Not only was I physically exhausted, I was also mentally tired. After all, I was tied up yesterday and was frightened. It would be impossible for anyone to fall asleep easily.

Fortunately, this road is a government road and is relatively smooth.

About a cup of tea later the carriage stopped.

"Sir, we're here."

Li Xiuzhu then opened the curtain of the carriage and walked out. He looked at the twenty or thirty strong men on the opposite side and walked over.

As soon as Li Xiuzhu stepped forward, two captains and a dozen soldiers quickly stepped forward to protect him.

Although Li Xiuzhu was speechless, he did not try to be stubborn.

It’s not that he’s afraid, it’s his character. His current character is that of a weak scholar.

Although his horse riding and possible murder were exposed in a hurry yesterday, he still had to continue acting.

As long as I don't admit it, you can only guess.

At this time, the person in the C position of the bandits stood up.

"I am Qi Shaoshang. I don't know how I have offended you, General. Even if we die, we should die knowingly, right?"

"If you brothers are short of money, my Lianyun Village can provide some help."

Qi Shaoshang? Lianyun Village? What the hell?

Li Xiuzhu's mind raced as he heard this, and he sneered and said, "No offense?"

"You haven't forgotten that you robbed a wealthy family in the Golden Snake Village yesterday."

"They are my family members. Although I ordered people to kill everyone in the Golden Snake Village, do you think I can let go of this grudge?"

As soon as Li Xiuzhu opened his mouth, Qi Shaoshang's heart skipped a beat. After Li Xiuzhu finished speaking, he felt that this could not be resolved peacefully.

However, Qi Shaoshang was also confident. Lianyun Village was easy to defend but difficult to attack. The Golden Snake Village was captured mainly because they were unprepared.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Your Excellency must have something important to do when you send so many troops. Our Lianyun Village is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Your Excellency, are you not afraid of failing the Emperor's orders?"

Li Xiuzhu smiled when he heard this.

"I only want the dead, not the living. If I fire a few rounds of rockets, the thick smoke alone will be enough to kill at least half of the population of Lianyun Village."

"And I have a backup plan. I guarantee that none of you will survive."

"Now you either surrender or die."

Qi Shaoshang paused when he heard this. It was indeed as Li Xiuzhu said. After the fire broke out, unless it rained heavily, there would be a lot of casualties in Lianyun Village.

Qi Shaoshang looked at the Cangshan Mountain behind him with depression. It seemed that too dense trees might not be a good thing.

"Sir, are you really not going to give us a chance to live? I have more than 10,000 strong men in Lianyun Village, including the Golden Snake Village. If we fight, do you think we can win?"

Li Xiuzhu thought for a moment after hearing this, and suddenly smiled.

"I heard there are many martial arts experts among you?"

Qi Shaoshang knew that a turning point had come when he heard this, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and said proudly: "There are five first-rate masters, dozens of second-rate masters, and countless third-rate masters."

"Very good, let's make a deal then."

After a pause, Li Xiuzhu continued, "You all know about the war in the north. Now that Juyongguan has fallen, I want you to help me steal the city gate at night."

"This isn't difficult for high-flying knights like you."

"As long as we take Juyongguan, what happened yesterday will be written off."

"As for the number of people, each village that participates in the martial arts competition can only keep one person at most. The rest are up to you."

"This is the bottom line. I'll give you an hour to think about it."

After saying this, Li Xiuzhu turned around and left, not at all afraid of exposing his back to the other party.

With so many soldiers behind him, the other party may not dare to take action even if they want to. Even if they really dare, the worst that can happen is that they will expose their skills.

At this time, several bosses came to Qi Shaoshang, and one of them, who was bald, said, "Boss, what should we do? Let's fight."

"We have so many good fighters. We will definitely be able to defeat them even if they are well-equipped soldiers."

Qi Shaoshang shook his head when he heard this.

"How many people can make it out? Only one out of ten people below the second-rate level survives, and the average people in the village die at best if one percent survives."

"Many of those people are our friends, and some even include your family members."

"If we run away alone like this, how can we survive in the martial arts world in the future?"

How about this, let’s vote by raising our hands, the minority shall obey the majority, and those who are willing to seize the city shall raise their hands.

After Qi Shaoshang finished speaking, he was the first to raise his hand, and the lawyer followed suit and raised his hand second.

At once, the seven village chiefs looked at each other and raised their hands.

They were already preparing to start fighting against the Liao. Silla was also an enemy, and helping their people regain their homeland was what they wanted.

What's more, it was their fault that their siblings and relatives were held hostage.

"General, they have discussed it. But they still have one last question. They want to know how the general can guarantee that he will let them go afterwards."
