"Could it be that Brother Ying Kang wants to lure those leaders to the camp and kill them?"
A flash of surprise flashed through Yuma's heart.
However, when he thought about Ying Kang's character, Yuma secretly shook his head and rejected his guess.
Because in his opinion, Ying Kang was definitely not the kind of person who betrayed his comrades for profit. Maybe Jin Gou would do such a thing with his eyes closed without any scruples, but Ying Kang would never do it.
Thinking of this, Yuma said hesitantly: "If Zhao Run had already released this news, I'm afraid not many heads would be willing to take the risk to come here for the banquet..."
He deliberately emphasized the word "here" in his words, intending to remind Ying Kang that this was the camp of his people in Qiu.
Ying Kang understood Yuma's reminder and smiled bitterly when he heard this: "I have been in Yangxia for decades and have no other abilities. This reputation is finally not ruined. There should be a few leaders who are willing to trust me."
.”
Seeing that Ying Kang had already said this, Yuma said no more, and immediately ordered all the Yuma under his command to go to the lairs of the hidden thief forces in Yangxia, and in his and Ying Kang's name, invite people like Xu
Jiazhai, Black Spider, Mangyao, Duan Lou, Geng Lou and other hidden thieves are in charge.
Only the people in Fuqiu were excluded.
Not to mention, Ying Kang of the Yiqiu people and Yuma of the Youma people used to have a really good reputation among the hidden thieves in Yangxia, much better than Jin Gou. So the next day, Black Spider,
The four heads of the Hidden Bandits, Sangyao, Duanlou and Genglou, came to the camp of the Yiqiu people.
Regarding this, the four leaders of the hidden thieves couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
After all, in the past, although the Yiqiu people and the Fuqiu people did not deal with each other and were strangers to each other, and even attacked and killed each other continuously for a period of time, they had one thing in common, that is, they kept the location of the camp very secret from each other and refused to
Not disclosed to outsiders.
And now, what important thing happened that made Ying Kang, the leader of the Yiqiu people, not hesitate to expose the location of their Yiqiu people's camp and invite the four heads of the hidden bandits here?
The leaders of the four hidden thieves, Black Spider, Mangyao, Duan Lou and Geng Lou, thought for a long time but still couldn't come up with a clue.
After a while, the four leaders of the hidden thieves were invited by Ying Kang to the secret room deep inside, and ordered the Yiqiu people under his command to serve the food and wine that had been prepared.
Black Spider, Mangyao, Duan Lou and Geng Lou, the four leaders of the Hidden Bandits, looked at each other after sitting down.
Finally, Mang Ya asked in his hoarse voice: "Brother Ying Kang, this time you invited the four of us to Guizhai for a meeting, is it Zhao Run who is preparing to send troops to attack us?"
Originally, Ying Kang wanted to wait for the leader of Xujiazhai, a local force that was somewhere between hidden thieves and mountain bandits. However, when Mangya asked about it, he stopped hiding it and said sincerely:
"Four heads, this time
Ying invites you all to come to the camp of our Yiqiu people to show you the position of our Yiqiu people... If our Yiqiu people have anything against you, the four of you can come to Ying in the future.
trouble."
Ying Kang's words made the four leaders of the hidden thieves, Black Spider, Mangyao, Duan Lou, and Geng Lou, not only surprised but also suddenly realized.
The leader of Duan Lou is a powerful middle-aged man named Duan Pei. Hearing this, he said boldly: "Brother Ying Kang is indeed the eldest brother. Duan admires him...Brother Ying Kang, don't worry, this time we will
If we unite to fight against that Zhao Run, I, Duan Lou, will definitely obey the orders of Brother Ying Kang, we will advance together and retreat together, and teach that arrogant brat Zhao Run a lesson!"
After hearing this, Ying Kang smiled wryly, waved his hand, and explained: "Master Duan has misunderstood. Ying invited you here this time, not because of that Zhao Run... Well, it has something to do with him, but it is not because of his desire.
Send out troops to destroy us."
After that, he looked at everyone present and lowered his voice and said: "Zhao Run asked Brother Yuma to deliver a message. He has changed his mind and no longer intends to catch all the Yangxia hidden thieves, but...well, in short,
He decided to recruit two groups of hidden thieves as his special group of hidden thieves."
"What...what does this mean?"
Black Spider, Mourning Crow, Duan Lou, and Geng Lou, the four leaders of the hidden thieves, slightly changed their expressions when they heard this. After looking at each other again, they invariably put their hands that were originally in the light and quietly put them in the dark.
at.
Seeing this, Ying Kang was shocked.
As a thief, he knows very well what it means when a thief puts his hands in the dark.
Therefore, he hurriedly said: "Four leaders, please don't misunderstand me. You all know Ying's behavior in the past. Ying will never betray his fellow men for the sake of glory... Ying has already said it before. If Ying
If I have anything to do with you, in the future the four of you can unite to attack and retaliate against the people of our city, and ask Ying to meet the previous leader without saying a word after his death."
Black Spider, Mang Crow, Duan Lou, and Geng Lou, the four leaders of the hidden thieves, looked at each other after hearing this. After a moment of silence, Duan Pei laughed and said to smooth things over: "Brother Ying Kang really scared us.
The ground is not light... Well, what is going on?"
Ying Kang heard this and looked at Yuma.
Youma understood, so he told Jin Gou secretly to seek refuge with Su Wang Zhao Hongrun, and told the latter the location of the camps of all the hidden thieves, including the Yiqiu people.
Black Spider, Mangyao, Duan Lou and Geng Lou, the four leaders of the hidden thieves, looked shocked and angry.
You must know that among the hidden thieves' tenets, betraying a companion is the most shameful and unforgivable. Although Jin Gou's Fuqiu people have always had friction with them in the past, and they cannot be said to be like-minded companions, they can at least be regarded as peers.
, betraying colleagues, although this cannot be criticized, it is also shameful.
After all, everyone had decided to unite against King Su that day, but Jin Gou secretly contacted King Su and even betrayed them for wealth. This is simply unworthy of a human being!
However, when they heard that Yuma had revealed the location of the Fuqiu people's lair to King Su as revenge, although the anger in the hearts of the leaders was slightly reduced, they still felt frustrated for some reason.
"The snipe and the clam compete for the fisherman's profit..." The leader of the black spiders, a short man with dark skin, shook his head and frankly expressed the feelings of everyone: "If we work together as one, even if the other party is a regular army, it will not be a problem.
With the strength of a battle, it is a pity that the Shang Shui army is as solid as a rock, but our side is a piece of loose sand... Then Zhao Run got the camp location of the hidden thieves like us without any effort, so why fight?"
With that said, he looked up at Ying Kang and said, "Brother Ying Kang, please tell me about Zhao Run's conditions."
The implication was that he no longer had any thoughts of confronting Zhao Hongrun, because he knew that their only advantage as a thief had been lost.
Ying Kang was silent for a moment, and then told Zhao Hongrun's promise in detail: "Yangxia must be returned to the court, but we can build our own Hidden Thief Village. As long as it is used by him in the future, he will send people,
Contribute to assist the construction of Hidden Thief Village, and the imperial court will acquiesce in the existence of Hidden Thief Village..."
"Isn't this the same as a fief?"
The four heads were shocked when they heard this.
Although they each have their own camp, which is not much different from the Hidden Thief Village, the problem is that their current camp is not allowed by the imperial court, and there is a danger of being surrounded and suppressed by troops sent by the imperial court at any time. But if they surrender to that person
King Su, their village of hidden thieves no longer has to worry about the court.
What's more, Zhao Hongrun also promised to provide money and effort to help their hidden thief village gradually expand.
What an opportunity!
However, there are only two places that can enjoy this treatment.
How to divide this?
You must know that here alone, there are four hidden thieves, Yiqiu Zhong, Youma, Black Spider, Mangya, Duan Lou, and Geng Lou. How can two places be enough?
"Two peaches kill three soldiers..." The short, muscular man whom the gangsters called Black Spider laughed twice as if mocking him, shook his head and said, "That Zhao Run is so clever, this use of power is really not in line with his age.
Ah." After that, he looked around and said with a half-smile: "Then what should we do now? Fight to the death for those two spots?"
Hearing this, Duan Pei frowned and said, "Black Spider, what are you talking about? Are we going to kill each other?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mang Ya laughed strangely twice and said in a conspiratorial tone: "Boss Duan, aren't you not heartbroken?"
"I..." Duan Pei opened his mouth, speechless.
Because he knew that even if he opened his mouth to refute, not many people would believe it, because the promise given by Zhao Hongrun was so generous that almost no one was willing to give it up.
Beside him, Yuma sighed secretly.
Killing three men with two peaches is not necessarily a clever and difficult-to-detect strategy, but it is one that people cannot refuse.
Becoming the exclusive group of hidden thieves around Su Wang Zhao Run, the daily expenses will no longer be a problem. More importantly, with the relationship with Su Wang Zhao Run, the imperial court will no longer send troops to encircle and suppress them at every turn, and they can even
Build your own Hidden Thief Village openly and openly, and from now on you can live under the sun without having to hide.
And what they want to do is to defeat the rest of the hidden thief opponents and grab the only two spots.
King Su has clearly laid out his chariots and horses, and is not afraid that the hidden thieves in Yangxia will not take the bait.
No, the leaders of the four hidden thieves, Black Spider, Mangyao, Duan Lou and Geng Lou, have lost their previous tacit understanding.
In fact, Zangya couldn't wait to clarify the topic: "Brother Ying Kang, are you inviting the four of us here just to let the four of us compete for the remaining spot?"
Don't think this is a good word. You must know that the subtext of this sentence is to ask Ying Kang: Do you, the people of Yiqiu, want to definitely occupy one of the places, so you invited us here.
No, after listening to Sang Ya's words, the eyes of the other three heads looking at Ying Kang faintly changed.
But at this moment, Ying Kang shook his head and said, "I, the people of Yiqiu, will not compete with you for those two places."
"Well?"
Everyone present was filled with surprise. Even Yuma didn't expect Ying Kang to say this, and looked at Ying Kang in surprise: "Brother Ying Kang, you..."
Ying Kang waved his hand and said to Yuma: "Yuma, from now on, you must not interfere... When this matter is understood, I will disband the Yiqiu clan and merge it with your Yuma clan."
Yuma was stunned when he heard this.
Although it can be said that Zhao Hongrun sympathized with the sufferings of the Youma people back then, so he explicitly told Youma that he would be accommodating to the Youma people. Therefore, Ying Kang's decision can be regarded as a solution to the future problems of the Yiqiu people.
What a great way to get home.
But the problem is that if this happens, the name Yiqiu Zhong will become history.
"Brother Yuma..."
"I have made up my mind, you don't need to persuade me any more." Ying Kang waved his hand to interrupt Yuma's words, and then turned to look at the leaders of the four hidden thieves, Black Spider, Mangyao, Duan Lou, and Geng Lou, Shen
He said in a loud voice: "Four heads, I Yingkang swear to God that this
I will never compete with you for those two spots, but as a condition, you have to help me... clean up the house!" After saying that, he paused and said to himself as if sighing with emotion: "This may be how I deal with that
The traitor’s last chance..."
"Clean up the house? Deal with the traitors?"
The four leaders of the Hidden Thief Clan, Black Spider, Mang Crow, Duan Lou, and Geng Lou, looked at each other, and they all guessed that Ying Kang was referring to Jin Gou, who betrayed the Ge Yang Clan back then.
"Unite to deal with the people of Fuqiu?"
Black Spider, Mangyao, Duan Pei, and Geng Chou, the head of Geng Tower, remained silent.
After all, the Fuqiu people are very powerful. Even if the four of them join forces with the Yiqiu people, they will probably have to pay a heavy price to kill the Fuqiu people.
At this time, I heard Ying Kang say: "Four heads, you are not only helping me with this matter, you are also helping yourself..."
It is true that if the Fuqiu people are not eradicated, then one of the two places will definitely be divided by the Fuqiu people, which will not be enough.
Thinking of this, Black Spider, Mangyao, Duan Pei and Geng Chou looked at each other and nodded in unison.
