After a slight hesitation, Morie Akiyama made a decision in her heart. She stood up directly and jumped over the approximately seven-foot courtyard wall. After entering the courtyard, Morie Akiyama held a large hand in her hand and looked around everything around her with cold eyes.

It was exactly as she expected, no one was in the courtyard...

At this moment, Kobayakawa Takahide also entered the courtyard. Looking at everything in front of her, a trace of doubt appeared in her eyes. With her rich experience, she could certainly see that this courtyard had not been empty for several days.

There have been people living there.

It was not like she said before that there was no one in the courtyard during the day, everyone went out to look for traces of Akiyama Morie, and came back at night to continue meeting in the courtyard.

But she was still in this small courtyard a few days ago, and she met the five Jōnin of Koga, and she also gained their trust, making them think that Morie was hiding in Yuyang City, but they didn't

Reason to leave this small courtyard!

Feeling the doubts in Kobayakawa Takahide's expression also made Akiyama Morie less suspicious of his half-sister. After looking at the situation in the small courtyard, Akiyama Morie said:

"Check around, I feel like this small courtyard is not that simple!"

"Um!"

The two sisters began to separate and check in the small courtyard. After half a stick of incense, Kobayakawa Takahide seemed to have found something and shouted:

"Morie, come here!"

Akiyama Morie heard the sound and walked over, only to see Kobayakawa Takahide in a very hidden cellar. When he walked down the cellar, Akiyama Morie immediately discovered something unusual. There were some brand-new marks on the cellar walls.

These marks look like they were made by swords, and some look like they were caused by burning flames...

At this time, Kobayakawa Takahide was in the northeast corner of the cellar, where there was a water tank half a person's height. Seeing the appearance of Akiyama Morie, Kobayakawa Takahide with a solemn expression pointed to the wall behind the water tank and said in a deep voice:

"check it out!"

Following what Kobayakawa Takahide expected, there was a pool of dark red blood on the wall at the fingertips of Morie Akiyama. Combined with the traces of swords in the cellar, it was self-evident what happened in this cellar!

After pondering for a moment, Kobayakawa Takahide said slowly:

"From my point of view, Morie, this place was targeted while I was looking for you. The five jounin were unable to defeat the intruders and gradually retreated into the cellar, trying to hide.

Despite being chased by the other party, this cellar was still discovered by the other party!"

Akiyama Morie nodded silently after hearing this. As far as the current clues are concerned, her views are consistent with Kobayakawa Takahide. Kobayakawa Takahide took a deep breath, looked at her sister who fell into silence and said:

"The five of them are all top masters in Koga. Even if they are besieged by dozens or even hundreds of times more people, they can break out. But now they are forced by the other party to hide in the cellar, which is enough to see the other party.

They are all top-notch experts, but there are not many people in Youyan today who can gather so many experts!"

Listening to the hints in her sister's words, Akiyama Morie's mood was mixed. At this moment, Kobayakawa Takahide took advantage of this opportunity and suddenly touched Akiyama Morie's wrist. Akiyama Morie was focused on

When I was thinking about things, I was not on guard against Kobayakawa Takahide, and his wrist was actually held by Kobayakawa Takahide...

However, in the end, Akiyama Morie's martial arts is much better than that of Kobayakawa Takahide. As soon as Kobayakawa Takahide grasped it, he was knocked away by Akiyama Morie's internal force, and he took several steps back before he could barely stop himself!

Looking at Akiyama Morie, Kobayakawa Takahide frowned and said:

"That's true!"

Seeing that she discovered her secret, Akiyama Morie said helplessly:

"Don't make any noise!"

Kobayakawa Takahide criticized this:

"Are you crazy? Or do you think they are just wooden piles that you can kill at will?"

Akiyama Morie was silent for a while and said:

"I know what I'm doing!"

Kobayakawa Takahide said without giving up:

"Since they have been eliminated, this matter is over. Mori Hui, go back to Yijing immediately!"

Jiyu, Feiziling

Looking at the looming mountain peaks in the distance, Zhu Sanshan, who had been living under siege for the past few days, suddenly felt tears filling his eyes.

For Zhu Sanshan, who has seen the blooming flowers and the blazing fire of Luo'an, although he has no choice but to fall into the trap of bandits on Daya Mountain, he still dislikes the boredom and depression of life on the mountain in his heart. But now that he sees Daya Mountain,

But he was moved indescribably in his heart!

After deciding to break out of the siege because his life was at stake, Zhu Sanshan quickly prepared and started to break out that night, because the siege in the previous few days went very smoothly, and it looked like he would be able to successfully recapture Eagle City soon.

Therefore, the Henan army that besieged Yingcheng also regarded Zhu Sanshan and others as turtles in the urn, and they were slack in their mentality and actions.

Therefore, in the face of Zhu Sanshan's breakout, the Henan army officers and soldiers were also slightly panicked. In order to survive, the brothers on Zhu Sanshan's side also used their energy to survive. Each one of them had their eyes red with blood.

With his bloody bravery, Zhu Sanshan really fought his way through the Henan army's camp.

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhu Sanshan led the men who broke out, and Sayazi ran towards Daya Mountain. Daya Mountain was their starting place, and they were familiar with the terrain, so as long as they ran back to Daya Mountain, the Henan Army would

Nothing can be done to them.

"Master! We have thrown away the Yu army!" Zhu Sanshan's trusted general Liu Chuang came to Zhu Sanshan and reported:

Zhu Sanshan nodded after hearing this, and then continued to run towards Daya Mountain. He was originally riding a horse, but during the breakout last night, the target on horseback was too big, so Zhu Sanshan could only

Abandoning the horses and breaking out on foot····················

Seeing that Zhu Sanshan wanted to continue walking, Liu Chuang gritted his teeth and reminded in a low voice:

"The brothers, the boss, have been running around all night and are now exhausted. Do you think you can take a short break so that the brothers can regain their strength, eat something and drink some water?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Sanshan shook his head decisively and said:

"It's already dawn. The cavalry of the government army may catch up with us at any time. We must enter the mountains as soon as possible! Let the brothers hold on a little longer. When we return to the mountains, I, Zhu, will entertain the brothers with big fish and meat!"

"I understand, boss, I will pass the message on to my brothers right now!"

An hour later, Zhu Sanshan led his remaining defeated troops and entered the mountainous area as they wished. Just as Zhu Sanshan expected, as soon as they entered the mountain, thousands of Henan cavalry were chasing them. If

Just now Zhu Sanshan's heart softened and he stopped, so the outcome is obvious.

Returning to his village, Zhu Sanshan completely relaxed and summoned a group of his cronies.

"How many people do we have now?" Zhu Sanshan was asked the question he was most concerned about as soon as everyone met.

Facing Zhu Sanshan's inquiry, his leaders also began to report. Listening to the number of people reported by his subordinates one by one, Zhu Sanshan's heart gradually sank to the bottom of the valley, even though he knew very well in his heart that after the breakout, he had just pulled out

This team will suffer heavy casualties, but after adding up the numbers reported by his men one by one, Zhu Sanshan is also unimaginable. He now has more than 3,000 people left under his command...

·············

You know, just a month ago, his total number of soldiers and horses reached 16,000!

Seemingly feeling the distress in Zhu Sanshan's heart, Liu Chuang, his confidant, also comforted him at the right time:

"The boss was in a panic when he broke out last night. Many brothers were separated. I believe many brothers will come back and reunite in a few days!"

Listening to Liu Chuang's consolation, Zhu Sanshan smiled bitterly and shook his head. Many brothers were separated during the breakout last night, but only a few could come back. The vast majority of them would probably die tragically.

Under the butcher's knife of the officers and soldiers, thinking of this, Zhu Sanshan sighed and blamed himself and said:

"I'm sorry everyone!"

Listening to Zhu Sanshan's words, the group of subordinates around him also comforted Zhu Sanshan one by one. Under the comfort of everyone, Zhu Sanshan barely regained some confidence, told his subordinates to take care of the injured, and sent out scouts to watch out for the officers.

The army may enter the mountains to encircle and suppress them.

After doing this, Zhu Sanshan ended the meeting. However, just when he was about to take a rest, a small leader named Guan Fu walked in and reported to Zhu Sanshan:

"Someone from the head of the family is waiting for you at the mountain gate, saying that he needs to see you for something!"

Hearing Guan Fu's words, Zhu Sanshan was a little surprised. Who would come to him at this stall?

Just when Zhu Sanshan was a little confused, Guan Fu spoke again:

"The other party claimed to be Zhang Zhen, and he was a merchant and brought a meeting gift to the boss..."

Upon hearing that there was a meeting ceremony, Zhu Sanshan gradually became more interested and asked:

"What did they bring?"

Guan Fu hesitated for a moment, took out a ten-tael silver note from his arms and handed it to Zhu Sanshan and said:

"They just gave me this and asked me to send a message to the boss for a meeting gift. As for the rest, I didn't ask much about it!"

After listening to Guan Fu's words and looking at the ten taels of silver notes he handed over, Zhu Sanshan still couldn't laugh or cry, but this also made him more interested in Zhang Zhen. He waved his hand casually and said:

"Bring this Zhang Zhen in! With these ten taels of silver, you can buy some good wine and food to eat with your brothers!"

"Thank you, Master! I'll bring Zhang Zhen up!"

Seeing that Zhu Sanshan did not confiscate the silver, Guan Fu suddenly smiled happily. These ten taels of silver were not a small amount in this famine year. If he used them well, he might be able to buy a wife!

After a while, a young man in gray robe came to Zhu Sanshan.

"My dear Zhang Zhen, I have met Mr. Zhu Da!"

After looking Zhang Zhen up and down, Zhu Sanshan said calmly:

"you know me?"

"When I was in Eagle City before, I had the honor to meet the master!" Zhang Zhen said respectfully:

After taking a deep look at Zhang Zhen, Zhu Sanshan asked in a deep voice:

"You said you brought me a meeting gift. Where is the meeting gift?"

Zhang Zhen smiled when he heard this, then took out a stack of banknotes from his arms and handed them over and said:

"A small gift is not a sign of respect, so I ask the boss to accept it..."

Zhu Sanshan took the stack of silver notes and weighed them with his hands. His small eyes couldn't help but squint. These silver notes were all 10 taels of silver notes from Yujingtong, a local bank in Hebei and Henan. There were about thirty pieces.

, it is obvious that the other party is thoughtful and understands that in this troubled world, the three major ticket numbers Guangshengyuan, Baichuantong, and Yishanhe are no longer very effective.

At present, only Yu Jingtong, who is rumored to be the boss of the Gao family, can be successfully accepted in Jiyu, and the face value of twelve taels is the most perfect. If the face value of the banknote is large, it is likely to arouse the alert of the banknote and trigger

unnecessary trouble.

Putting the stack of banknotes on the table, Zhu Sanshan looked at Zhang Zhen and said in a deep voice:

"Let's open the skylight and tell the truth. You came to our Dayashan Mountain and specially gave us so much money. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhen gave Zhu Sanshan a thumbs up and said:

"Master Zhu Da's quick words, I won't hide them anymore. I really have something to ask for here today! In three days, Guangtai Heng Company will send a batch of goods to Qilu, and this batch of goods will be shipped to Guangyan

Thirty miles east of the slope, it was delivered to the Qi army. There was a box in this batch. There was a treasure vase in the box, which was a favorite of our boss. I would like to ask Mr. Zhu to get it for us...

···········”

"Except for this vase, everything else in this batch belongs to Zhu Da. Our boss will also give you a thousand taels of silver as a thank you gift!"

Although Zhu Sanshan was very restrained in his heart when he said these words, a hint of greed still appeared in his eyes. Although he got a lot of wealth after the capture of Eagle City, due to this breakout, he had no time to transfer those

All his belongings were taken away, so he is now a pauper again!

The other party offered three hundred taels of silver and a thousand taels of silver as a thank you gift. This was enough to make Zhu Sanshan very tempted. Although his heart was already ready to move, Zhu Sanshan still asked:

"Who is your boss?"

Facing Zhu Sanshan’s inquiry, Zhang Zhen smiled and said:

"We, the boss, provide the money and you contribute the efforts. We all get what we need from each other, so why do you need to get to the bottom of it?"

After listening to Zhang Zhen's answer, Zhu Sanshan probably thought that what Zhang Zhen said was reasonable, so he did not continue to struggle with this issue. Instead, he changed his voice and asked very solemnly:
Chapter completed!
