In the main hall of Erlongshan Baozhu Temple, everyone below Deng Long stared at Han Benshan with suspicion and even hostility. A few impatient ones were about to show off their weapons and kill him. An outspoken leader said coldly: "It's really unexpected that you, Ghost Sword Han, have actually become the talon of the government. Are you entertaining me?"
Facing this scene, Han Benshan did not show any panic. He just crossed his arms and looked at the crowd and said, "Master Deng, is this the way you treat guests at Erlong Mountain? Han kindly came up to the mountain to advise you. You are Did you do this to me?"
"If we are really friends, we will treat each other with courtesy, but you... hum!" Deng Long replied calmly, holding his hand on the arm-thick iron bar next to the chair, as if he would be ready at any time. Can kill it.
"I said that we joined forces with the Qingzhou magistrate to get rid of Sun Tu more easily. Otherwise, do you think that people like Erlongshan can really kill him surrounded by more than a thousand officers and soldiers? That is just cooperation, not who Who should I rely on?" Finally, Han Benshan decided to speak clearly. After all, he still had to rely on the power of the people in Erlong Mountain.
But soon someone raised another question: "As you said nicely, the government and the government are one, so will Murong Yanchao listen to you and deal with Sun Tu?"
"Of course. To say who wants Sun Tu to die the most in the world right now, I'm afraid you and I are far inferior to Murong Yanchao. Haven't you heard what happened in Qingzhou City before? Since Sun Tu took over the Qingzhou City The Empress has almost taken over the power from Murong Yanchao, do you think he will let it go?"
"But he is a member of the government after all. Will he take such a big risk to cooperate with us? And once the matter is spread, how can we behave in this world and on the green forest road?" Deng Long still had his own concerns. , people like them are indeed most afraid of being contaminated by officialdom.
"As long as the design is clever, who knows that it was the cooperation of both of us that eliminated Sun Tu? When the time comes, Murong Yanchao will do his best to distance himself, and you Erlongshan can take all the credit. Who will be the hero in the world then? Admired?" Han Benshan responded immediately.
When he said this, Deng Long was finally moved. If he could get rid of Sun Tu, it would eliminate a major hidden danger. More importantly, Erlong Mountain could really increase its prestige with this. In fact, what he said before that Erlongshan's strength was not inferior to that of Liangshanbo was just to put money on his face. Everyone on the mountain actually knew that compared with the heroes of Liangshanbo who dared to rob the birthday card and go to Jiangzhou to cause trouble, Erlongshan, which is only trapped in a corner, really has no impressive achievements. Being able to get rid of Sun Tu this time is really an opportunity.
However, just when Deng Long wanted to say yes, someone below him coughed. Then Deng Long glanced at the middle-aged man who looked a little thin and frail, and saw him gently coughing. Shaked his head. Seeing this, he swallowed back the words that came to his lips: "Brother Han, this matter is not a small matter after all. Brothers and I have to discuss it again before we can decide. You can go down the mountain and wait for the news."
In fact, Han Benshan also saw that person's behavior and frowned secretly. It seemed that there were smart people in Erlong Mountain. He pointed out all the pros and cons this time, but the other party still hadn't made a decision...
But soon, he put on a smile again: "In that case, I will go to the foot of the mountain and wait for the village master's good news. But I have to make one thing clear. There is not much time left for Erlong Mountain. If we wait for Sun Tu They have suppressed Peach Blossom Mountain again, and when the government and the army come to attack you with great momentum, it will be too difficult to join forces with the government to kill Sun Tu. With that said, I say goodbye." With that, he turned around and wanted to leave. .
But at this moment, two people suddenly flashed past him on the left and right at the same time, blocking his way: "Han, from what you just said, you seem to be looking down on our brothers in Erlong Mountain. We would like to fight with you, see. Are you qualified enough to cooperate with us? If you are brave enough, go out and show your skills." As he said that, both of them looked at him with provocative eyes.
This time, Deng Long didn't speak. Just now, this guy said that his copycat village was so unbearable, as if he was really afraid of Sun Tu and the Qingzhou soldiers. At this time, he must be taught some lessons to let him know how powerful Erlong Mountain is.
Seeing that there was no movement behind him, Han Benshan knew what Deng Long and the others were thinking, and the corners of his mouth immediately curled up into a sneer: "In that case, there's no need to go outside, just keep an eye on it!" Before he finished speaking, he shook his hand and let out a sneer. The light flew straight out of the sleeves and shot towards the man on the left. At the same time, he jumped backwards and came to the front of the man on the right. He quickly dipped his elbow and swung out, hitting him with a bang. The man's lower abdomen was immediately beaten until he fell down with a groan.
The man on the left didn't even dare to move at this time, because a sharp blade was already placed at his throat. Just now, as long as Han Benshan's hand turned slightly away, he had already been pierced by the knife.
In an instant, all the Erlongshan leaders who were originally full of disdain in the palace changed their expressions. Deng Long also stood up and held his stick, but he could not make any subsequent movements. When Han Benshan took action just now, they couldn't even see his movements clearly. It was just a blur in front of their eyes. The life and death of one person was in his hands...
It was not until this time that everyone knew that Han Benshan, who they regarded as a loser, was actually so strong. If he really wanted to attack, without any preparation, half of the people in the palace would be killed, and it was hard to say whether Deng Long, the master of the village, could protect himself.
Seeing that he had shocked the whole audience, Deng Long did not do anything more extreme. As soon as his hand shook, the chain knife returned to his sleeve and disappeared, and then he punched the frightened guy in front of him. : "Accepted."
"Han... Brother Han is really good at martial arts, I admire him." After a moment, Deng Long swallowed his saliva and said, still with lingering fear in his heart.
"It's just some life-saving means, but I don't dare to say that I am sure that I can hurt Sun Tu. His martial arts skills are not low..." Thinking that even my sworn brother Hu Mingzong was killed by Sun Tu and the others, There was no sense of pride in his heart. Although among these brothers, Han Benshan is indeed the most skilled in ghost swordsmanship, the eldest brother, the second brother, and the fourth brother are also very strong in martial arts. Since these people are not Sun Tu's opponents, he has no intention of taking the risk to assassinate Sun Tu. It is placing hope on external forces.
Thinking of this, he turned back and said: "By the way, there is one more thing I would like to remind Master Deng. Although your Erlong Mountain is
The situation is dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack, but if the army is really determined to deal with you, you will still have no choice but to die. Don't think that you can survive by sticking to it.
"Perhaps with the same strength, the officers and soldiers can't help but wait for you, but what if Sun Tu is asked to mobilize soldiers and horses from surrounding prefectures? One thing you may not know is that Sun Tu is Tong Guan's disciple, and Tong Guan But now the secret envoys of the Song Dynasty are in charge of the military power of the world. So you should take care of yourself."
After saying this, Han Benshan finally strode out with his head held high, but none of the grumpy bandit leaders in the hall dared to step forward to stop him.
After he left for a while, everyone came back to their senses and all turned their attention to Deng Long: "Fortress leader, what should we do about this matter?"
"Military advisor, what do you think?" Deng Long asked the middle-aged man who stopped himself from nodding just now. This was Lu Yuan, the second-ranking military advisor in Erlong Mountain, known as Sai Zhuge.
Seeing that everyone was focusing on him, Lu Yuan coughed again: "There are two reasons why I didn't let the leader of the village immediately respond to this matter. One is that I was afraid that Han Benshan was really taking advantage of us and deliberately The problem is more serious. After all, his brothers were indeed harmed by Sun Tu, and he must be bent on revenge. We have no grudge against Sun Tu, so we can't help him for no reason. Secondly, what is Sun Tu's strength? It was just hearsay. Is it really necessary to join forces with people in the government? But now it seems that some of the previous statements are not false. With the martial arts demonstrated by Han Benshan just now, it should not be difficult to attack and assassinate him. But even so, he couldn't I don’t dare to attack Sun Tu, I’m afraid the other party is really in trouble.”
"What about the previous one?"
"It's hard to say this. It's true that the Qingzhou army defeated Baihu Mountain, but does he really dare to attack Taohua Mountain and Erlong Mountain again? If he doesn't have this intention, we will inevitably be exploited by others. It's hard to say what the outcome will be. Of course, we can also turn our passivity into initiative. We don't necessarily have to join forces with Murong Yanchao. We can also join forces with Li Zhong and others in Taohuashan. With the combined strength of our two mountains, It doesn’t necessarily mean that we can’t defeat the army.”
"Well, that makes sense. Instead of cooperating with the ignorant government, it's better to join forces with the brothers from Taohuashan." Deng Long also nodded with deep understanding.
Others all agreed. This made Lu Yuan's spirit even more boosted: "So what we have to do now is to stabilize Han Benshan first, and then send people to contact Taohua Mountain to convince Li Zhong, Zhou Tong and the others to join forces with us to deal with the army. Of course, if there is Taohua Mountain If we really don't want to cooperate, we can settle for the next best thing and cooperate with Murong Yanchao and the others before it's too late. Now we have the initiative, we can move forward and retreat freely, but we can't let Han Benshan lead the way."
"What the military advisor said is true, so I'll just go with what you said. Hey, this time I want to let all the green forest comrades in the world see the methods of Erlongshan. There are only one governor and more than a thousand officers and soldiers. How can it be that our Erlongshan Are the brothers really afraid of him?" Deng Long nodded immediately and said, looking very heroic, which also won the unanimous applause of the other brothers, as if Sun Tu and Qingzhou soldiers had been completely defeated by them at this time Under the offensive...
