But when he heard that these mountain villagers were going to chop themselves into pieces, cook them and sell them as game meat, Liu Shun also raised his voice and shouted outside the big net: "I am Liu Shun, the deputy general under the command of Wang Wu, the governor of Fufeng County. You guys
If the barbarians from the mountains dare to hurt me even a hair, my county guard will send troops to crush your bird mountain."
Before he finished shouting this to everyone in Li Mu, Liu Shun rolled his eyes and chirped again: "This general, I am here to invite Zhong Wuyan, the owner of your village, to visit Fufeng County as a guest."
"A guest?" Interrupting what Liu Shun was saying, Li Mu walked up to Liu Shun's big net and said, "I don't even know how to tell lies. Do you need to bring so many soldiers?"
After saying this to Liu Shun, Li Mu turned around and glanced at Zhong Wuyan.
Zhong Wuyan understood what was going on, and after a few words of explanation to the youngest Zhong, he turned around and left.
Following Zhong Wuyan, they came to an uninhabited forest. Before Li Mu and the others could stand still, Zhong Wuyan opened his mouth and asked Li Mu, "Why did you wink at me and call me over?"
"What else can we do? Of course we can discuss it!" But after hearing the question, Li Mu also stood firm and replied.
"Discuss? Discuss what?"
"Of course we are discussing what to do with the five hundred Fufeng troops captured by you."
After saying this to Zhong Wuyan, Li Mu then asked her: "What? Are you really planning to chop them up, stew them, and sell them as game in the city?"
"Of course not! I was just trying to scare them."
"That's it, that's why I winked and asked you to come over to discuss. But before discussing how to deal with them, let's first guess why Wang Wu, the governor of Fufeng County, sent troops to capture you."
"Take me? Humph! Just him?" But after hearing what Li Mu said, Zhong Wuyan also said with disdain.
Ignoring the disdain on Zhong Wuyan's face, Li Mu continued: "Right now, instead of discussing whether Wang Wu took advantage of you, let's discuss why he took advantage of you?"
"Why?"
"I'm still thinking."
After replying to Zhong Wuyan, Li Mu also turned to look at Wang Jian beside him. Deng Ai and others said: "Where are you? Have you thought about it?"
"My lord, if you want to know why we are guessing here? Just ask Liu Shun."
"He doesn't know!" But according to what Ran Min said, Deng Ai Yi said to him in a deep voice.
"He doesn't know? I said Deng Ai, how do you know he doesn't know?"
"If he knew, he wouldn't have announced his name just now and said those threatening words to us."
"What do you mean?" Huang Shi felt that he couldn't understand what Deng Ai was talking about. Does this have anything to do with self-reporting his name and threatening them?
Ignoring Huang Shi's question, Deng Ai turned to look at Li Mu and said to Zhong Wuyan: "My lord, Master Zhong, Liu Shun who led the army to Wushan Village must be planning to take Master Zhong back to Fufeng County by force.
As for why Wang Wu of Fufeng County suddenly raised troops to capture the leader of Zhong Village, according to my subordinates, this should be the pastoral order Wang Wu received."
"The pastoral order you received?" But after hearing what Deng Ai said, Zhong Wuyan also asked him in a loud voice: "You mean, the Changzhou pastor wants to kill me?"
"Probably not. If Changzhou Mu is really going to be unfavorable to Master Zhong, then it won't be these five hundred generals who go up the mountain this time."
"That's right!" But after listening to what Deng Ai said, Wang Jian also responded: "Liu Shun leading five hundred soldiers up the mountain is enough to prove that his purpose is not the entire village, but you, the owner of the village."
"The target is me? Not Wu Shanzhai?" After agreeing with Wang Jian's words, Zhong Wuyan also asked him in a deep voice: "Then what do you think Changzhou Mu will do with me?"
"Recruit!"
"Recruit?" But after hearing what Ma Su said, Zhong Wuyan wanted to ask, and Ma Su said: "If the recruitment fails, the village owner will be forced to submit. If the surrender fails, the village owner will be removed!"
What Ma Su said made Wang Jian and everyone in Deng Ai fall silent.
The reason for the silence was that what Ma Su said coincided with what they were thinking.
When Zhong Wuyan saw that Deng Ai and the others were silent, he also turned to look at Li Mu.
Looking at it, she found that Li Mu's brows were tightly knitted into the character "Sichuan".
This was the first time she had seen Li Mu show such a solemn expression. It seemed that what Ma Di just said was not alarmist, but an indisputable fact.
Precisely because this is an indisputable fact,
She was confused.
What she was confused about was why the Mu Shou, who was in charge of thirteen states, suddenly wanted to deal with her who was living a peaceful life in the mountains.
"Can't you understand?" He turned to look at Zhong Wuyan who was thinking hard. Li Mu looked at her and said, "I don't understand why you are just a small village leader in the Qinchuan Mountains. Why would he suddenly do this?"
To recruit you?"
After saying this to Zhong Wuyan, Li Mu continued to say to her: "Actually, I couldn't understand it at first, but I just thought of three people."
"Three people came to mind? What three people?" But after hearing what Li Mu said, Zhong Wuyan quickly gathered his thoughts and asked him.
Without replying to Zhong Wuyan's question, Li Mu continued: "If you ask me to guess, not to mention Changzhou Mu, even Wang Wu may not know that there is a person like you in this Qinchuan Mountains, and now
Since Wang Wu wanted to take you by name, I think this should be related to the three people I just thought of. Maybe Changzhou Mu didn't know about going up to Wushan to take you.
It was planned by one of the three of them." .??.
But after listening to what Li Mu said, Deng Ai also asked anxiously: "The three people my lord mentioned are the cousins of the Xia family and Tian Pi, the son of Changzhou Mu Shou?"
"Well! It must be related to these three people, otherwise I really can't figure out why Wang Wu suddenly led his troops to Wuxian stronghold to capture the master of Zhongzhai."
"Okay! It turns out it's the two of them!" But after listening to what Li Mu said, Zhong Wuyan also shouted angrily with a smile: "What? Then Xia Yingchun wanted Wang Wu to avenge her for killing Xia Chunlai.
Revenge? I haven't avenged his brother Wang Jiaohuo for killing my sister, but he came to me to avenge him first? OK, let him come. If he dares to take a step forward in this house, I will let him die in this house.
Inside.”
Is this really the purpose of Wang Wu's invasion? Is it for the personal revenge of the Xia family's cousins?
Deng Ai did not agree with what Zhong Wuyan said above. Although he did not agree, he could not guess the real reason why Wang Wu brazenly sent troops.
Li Mu and Deng Ai are the same. They both disagree that this is just a revenge hunt together. But if it is not a revenge hunt by relying on human power, then what is Wang Wu's real purpose in taking Zhong Wuyan?
Since I can't guess it for the moment, I will put this matter aside for now. After all, there is another thorny matter to deal with now. .
This difficult matter is how to deal with Liu Shun and the five hundred soldiers he brought!
Huang Shi, Bai Qi, and Ran Min suggested wiping their necks on the spot.
Wang Jian and Ma Su suggested that they imprison him in the stronghold first and see how Fufeng County reacts.
But the advice Deng Ai gave was different from the other five. Not only was it different, it was also extremely shocking.
"Lord, Lord Zhongzhai!"
After Wang Jian and Ma Su finished expressing their opinions to Li Mu and Zhong Wuyan, Deng Ai suddenly clasped his fists and said something to Li Mu and others that was not surprising.
"I have a plan that can not only solve the predicament of the leader of Zhongzhai, but also allow the lord to gain control of Fufeng County at his fingertips."
His eyes were burning and his expression was calm.
It was precisely because of Deng Ai's calmness that everyone in Li Mu was shocked.
"General Deng, tell me this wonderful plan!" But after hearing Deng Ai's shocking words, Wang Jian was the first to react and asked him excitedly.
How could Wang Jian not be excited? If Li Mu could get Fufeng County, it would be like getting a city of their own.
With their own city, they will have their own soldiers. With his own soldiers, he, Wang Jian, can fully display his talents.
Liu Shun and his adjutant Ying Jue were picked up one by one by Ran Min and thrown in front of Li Mu and Wang Jian.
After Ran Min threw the two of them to the ground, he did not forget to pat their heads twice.
After these two slaps, Liu Shun and Liu Shun immediately saw stars in their eyes.
It was also when they were staring at stars that Li Mu suddenly asked them, "Do you want to live or die?"
"I want to live." Although Liu Shun's eyes were filled with stars, Liu Shun replied without even thinking when he thought of his beloved wife waiting for him at home.
"Want to live? Then I will give you a way to survive!"
After saying this to Liu Shun, Li Mu turned to Ying Jue and asked, "What about you, do you want to live or die?"
"I?"
Ying Jue is not a brainless idiot like Liu Shun. Although he is not smart, he is not stupid either.
