Facts have proved that Zhang Shou was the only one whose bad words worked. Although Zhu Ying and Yang Laoguan kept saying that they hoped for another group of rebel soldiers to come and let them satisfy their desire, the next half night was calm. If it were not for the dozen or so bloody captives hanging on the big trees in the village, even Zhang Shou would have thought that the experience of last night was a dream.
Early in the morning, when the dandy young men in Cuiyun's room who had been drugged by Miss Zhu without knowing anything woke up, they heard their followers' exaggerated stories of the dangers of last night. Most of them were skeptical, so many of them inevitably ran to the village to watch the chaos.
Seeing these half-dead captives tied with ropes and hanging on the trees, looking listless and ignoring them completely, the dandies could not help but get angry. If Hua Qi, who was sitting nonchalantly with a knife in his arms, was not too conspicuous, and Ah Liu, who was holding a short bow and looked so cold and murderous, they would definitely go up and teach those defenseless soldiers a lesson.
But not everyone is interested in beating up a fallen dog. For example, Zhang Wu wandered around the village in confusion and found that people were shouting in the houses everywhere, as if they were preparing something. He wanted to stop someone to ask what was going on without his followers. However, he stopped two people in a row, but they were too busy to answer him. Finally, he saw Zhang Shou from a distance and hurriedly ran forward.
"Little sir!"
When Zhang Shou saw Zhang Wu's anxious look, he knew what he was thinking, and immediately said with a smile: "There is strength in numbers, but too many people who can't work together will only cause trouble. Yingying is the one who is most afraid of trouble, so we cut the Gordian knot and let you all sleep together. As for Zhang Chen and Lu San, we keep them because the rebel army will think they are valuable to hold hostage."
"So, Miss Zhu is just doing this for convenience?" Zhang Wu was a little confused when he said the last three words. When he saw Zhang Shou nod, he couldn't help but feel very frustrated. "If she just tells me, I can order my entourage and guards to obey her."
"It's an emergency, there's no time for that. At worst I can do it first and then apologize to you later!"
Zhang Wu was startled when he heard the voice behind him. He turned around and saw that it was Zhu Ying. He was so scared that he dared not vent his grievances anymore. However, what Zhu Ying said next made all his grievances vanish.
"A Shou and I are celebrating our birthday today, and there will be a buffet at noon. I was planning to go to Cui Yun's room to call them, but since you are here, you can go back and call them for me. If you have nothing to do, don't hang around those guys who have been tied up and hung like dried fish. Come and help if you have time. If you can't help, the people you brought with you can at least help out and set the table, right?"
"Besides, Ah Shou just told me that since we were able to capture those rebels last night, you will definitely get a share of the credit. Don't worry about those trivial matters. Go now! By the way, remember to keep it a secret and don't mention the credit for now!"
Zhang Shou saw Zhang Wu was stunned at first, and then he ran back as if he had been hit by a spinning top. Zhang Shou immediately laughed and said, "You are really amazing. With just one sentence, people are immediately motivated!"
Zhu Ying raised her chin slightly and said proudly, "He's just used to it because of the accumulated power. To be honest, your words about sharing the credit are the most realistic... Come on, follow me!"
