When Dai Zong led a dozen people to the front of Lijiazhuang, he immediately aroused the vigilance of the guards. Twenty or thirty bows and arrows were aimed at them. At the same time, someone shouted: "Don't blame me if you dare to approach again." You're welcome!" Although the words were serious, there was deep uneasiness in his tone.
Although they are both on Dulonggang, Lijiazhuang is obviously incomparable to Zhujiazhuang. Whether it is the scale of the manor or the surrounding defenses, it seems that as long as everyone in Liangshan attacks with all their strength, this village will be destroyed. Therefore, in the past, Liangshan could only detach a team of about a hundred people to contain the entire Lijiazhuang, so that they did not dare to leave the village rashly.
When Dai Zong saw this, he smiled casually, then raised his hands to show that he had no ill intentions. He took a few steps forward and then said loudly: "Brothers in the village, please don't be nervous. I am Dai Zong. I have no intention of coming here today." I don’t have any ill intentions at all, I just want to see your owner Li Ying and discuss something important. Please ask one of your brothers to go in and report."
His kind attitude finally made the villagers feel a little more at ease. After muttering a few words under their breath, some of them stopped to wait and hurried back. After a while, a burly man appeared on the high wall of the manor and shouted outside: "It turns out that Chief Dai is here. My manor owner said that he couldn't come out to welcome him because of something. Please forgive me. If Chief Dai is really kind and Come, please go into the village alone, and I, Duxing, will keep you safe. I wonder what Chief Dai’s intention is?"
"Brother, beware of fraud." The brother beside Dai Zong also became a little nervous at this time and hurriedly reminded him. But he smiled calmly: "It doesn't matter, today I have to show my sincerity. Could it be that I won't enter the bank because I am worried that they will attack me? And I think Li Ying can be regarded as a hero, so he won't Harm me." After saying that, he waved his hand for the others to stay where they were, while he continued to move forward with his hands raised high: "Then Dai Zongke is coming, please open the door to accept guests."
The people in Zhuangzi really didn't expect this man to be so courageous. They walked up to him without hesitation and admired him a little more. After a while, someone opened the front door of Xianxian Manor as instructed and let him in to talk. At this time, Du Xing had also come down from the wall. When he saw Dai Zong, he clasped his fists and said, "Shenxing Taibao is indeed well-deserved. My ugly face Du Xing really admires me. Please go to the inner room to meet my master."
"It's easy, Brother Du, please." Dai Zong smiled and returned the greeting, and then carefully observed the other person. This Du Xing was tall and muscular, with a simple knife in his hand, and his face was full of bumps and scars. The ugly face really gave people a domineering and fierce feeling, which he did not dare to look down upon.
Du Xing didn't say anything more, and immediately led the way, taking Dai Zong with him to the inside of the manor. Along the way, they met many young men in Zhuangzhong who were holding guns and sticks and looking worried. When they learned Dai Zong's identity, they all stared at him with wary and hostile eyes. It seemed that as long as Du Xing was not around, These people dare to attack them.
But Dai Zong was not frightened by the atmosphere. Instead, he paid attention to the number of people coming and going in the village, and quickly made a judgment. It seemed that there were only more than a hundred young people available in Lijiazhuang, and it was indeed not a threat.
When they arrived at the big house in the middle of Zhuangzi, an extraordinary-looking man in his thirties wearing a warrior robe was already waiting with a half-smile.
There it is. As soon as he saw Dai Zong, he laughed and came up to him: "Dean Dai has come to visit my Li family village. Li Ying is really flattered."
"I have met Master Li. I have admired Master Pu Tiandiao for a long time." Dai Zong also immediately stepped forward with a smile. Then they both greeted each other at the same time and walked in with their arms, looking at him like his old friend for many years. It was like a reunion, very affectionate. Du Xing was a little stunned when he saw it, and after a while he turned back to go about his own business.
But in fact, this was the first time that these two people met each other today. It was not until they entered the living room of the house and sat down, and after saying a few polite words, Li Ying looked at each other and asked: "I wonder why Brother Dai came here today? Could it be that he is here? Are you a lobbyist?" When he mentioned the word lobbyist, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Mr. Li is indeed a quick talker. Yes, I am here for this. But more importantly, I am thinking about the hundreds of people in your Li family village." Dai Zong looked back at the other party without any hesitation: "Mr. Li You should also see that our Liangshan brothers have strong troops. There are dozens of leaders like the following, and there are thousands of other soldiers who dare to fight. Not to mention your mere three manors on Dulonggang. Even if we want to take down the Jeju Prefecture in front of us as a copycat, it won’t be too difficult.
"It's just that God has good intentions, and we, the Liangshan brothers, are by no means indiscriminate killers, so we have never attacked Hu and Li Village. Our sincerity has been shown long ago, but I wonder if Master Li will reciprocate? Then Zhujiazhuang has always been an enemy of my Liangshan brothers, and even took the initiative to send troops to provoke them before. We are forced to send troops to attack, and I hope the owner of the village can understand."
The words were both soft and hard, which made Li Ying feel more pressure and his expression became more serious: "So what is the purpose of your coming here?"
"According to my brother's point of view, the best thing is to hope that Master Li can abandon the dark side and join the light. As long as Master Li is willing to defect to me in Liangshanbo, the positions of several leaders will definitely be vacant. I have long heard that Master Li has a point steel gun and five guns. Flying knives are unpredictable, unparalleled, and I, Liangshan, are thirsty for talents, so I should use you seriously." Dai Zong observed the other party's reaction and said: "Of course, if Master Li really doesn't want to do this, We don’t dare to force it, we just hope that Li Village can strictly maintain neutrality and not send any more troops. As long as Master Li can do this, he is a friend of my Liangshan brothers. If there is any mission in the future, we will definitely help."
"This..." Li Ying suddenly fell into hesitation, "Zhujiazhuang and I have always had a close friendship. It would be unreasonable for a hero to abandon them now..."
"Master Li's words are wrong. There are things a man does and things he doesn't do. Zhujiazhuang has always been domineering here. It is said that Dulonggang has three villages standing side by side, but in Jeju Mansion, everyone only knows that there are three villages. Zhujiazhuang does not know that Lijiazhuang exists... Moreover, as far as I heard, last year the second son of Zhu Biao was injured by Zhu Biao, and Zhujiazhuang did not show any sign of it after that. Is this called friendship? ?”
Dai Zong's words really hit the mark. As the three brothers of the Zhu family grew stronger, and with such a powerful figure as Luan Tingyu guarding them, the Zhu family village became more and more popular. In the past two years, it has been completely overwhelming. The other two villages.
Hujiazhuang was actually okay, because Zhu Biao fell in love with Hu Rong's relationship and treated them well.
Even though he was respectful, he was not so kind to Lijiazhuang. Just last spring, due to some minor disputes, Zhu Biao injured Li Ying's second son Li Jie, and he has not been able to fully recover to this day. Li Ying has indeed held back his anger for long enough.
Now that Dai Zong had uncovered the past, Li Ying's face suddenly darkened: "It's just a conflict between the younger generations, but it won't affect the decades-old friendship between the Li Zhu family."
"Really? Maybe Master Li is too generous to take things like this to heart, but have you ever thought about how the people in Zhujiazhuang will view this matter? They will only think that Master Li is weak and can be bullied. He The day will only get better, and by then, Lijiazhuang's life on Dulonggang will be even more difficult." At this point, Dai Zong's face darkened: "So it is also a good thing for Lijiazhuang that our Liangshan brothers send troops to attack Zhujiazhuang this time. One thing, the owner of the village, please think twice."
After pondering for a long time, Li Ying finally said: "Do I really just have to sit back and watch?"
"Of course." After hearing this, Dai Zong felt happy and said quickly: "We don't need to send any soldiers from Lijiazhuang. After we break through Zhujiazhuang, we won't hurt Lijiazhuang. Of course, if the owner of Lijiazhuang is We sincerely consider Liangshan our friends, please tell me how to move the ecstasy formation in front of Zhujiazhuang, many of our brothers have been injured there."
Li Ying was tangled again. As an ally who had cooperated with Zhujiazhuang for decades, he certainly knew the true and false situation outside Zhujiazhuang, but speaking out at this time meant that he was completely on the opposite side of Zhujiazhuang. This was really very What he wants to see.
"Master Li, as long as you are willing to tell the truth, you will be a great benefactor to my Liangshan brothers. From now on, you and I will have plenty of time to help each other..."
"I... It's not difficult for me to tell you the secret, but you need to agree to my request first." After some struggle, Li Ying finally spoke.
"Master Li, please tell me, as long as it doesn't violate morality, we will accept anything."
"I just hope you can hurt less people after conquering Zhujiazhuang. Although the Zhu family members are at fault, the old and weak people in Zhujiazhuang are innocent. And there is Hujiazhuang..."
"Haha, Master Li is indeed a true hero, I admire you. You can rest assured that we will not harm ordinary villagers in Hujiazhuang or Zhujiazhuang. Although I, Liangshan, are regarded as thieves, I always act in the right way, and I will never do anything harmful to God." Dai Zong immediately patted his chest and promised, "I can also swear to God, if Liangshan hurts innocent people afterwards, no matter how hard it is, we will all die! "
Seeing that he spoke so solemnly, Li Ying naturally had no doubts anymore, and immediately said: "I believe what Brother Dai said. In fact, it is very easy to break the ecstasy array in front of Zhujiazhuang. There are all those who disturb people's ears and eyes in that array. Trees, and this is the key. As long as you encounter a fork in the road, the right path is to go left when you see the poplar tree. If you follow this, you can go straight into the interior of Zhuangzi, and you don't have to worry about the traps along the way."
Dai Zong was overjoyed when he heard this. He stood up again and thanked Zhujiazhuang: "It is the master of Zhujiazhuang who has done a great job in defeating Zhujiazhuang this time. I, brother Liangshan, thank you for your great righteousness."
It wasn't until Dai Zong left that Li Ying began to regret it, wondering whether his decision was right or wrong...
