Lin Jue was silent. Bao Meng's conditions were very good. After acquiring the territory of Shirenshan Dazhai, the scale of Luoyan Valley Dazhai was already quite large. But after adding in the surrendered soldiers and horses, the strength of Luoyan Valley Dazhai would also increase to more than a thousand.
The number of people and common people has also increased by five to six thousand. This ratio is appropriate. One household supports one soldier, and the village can be self-reliant without any shortage of supplies. If it can be recognized by other villages, it can relieve the pressure and allow
Everything has returned to calm. This is beneficial to Luoyan Valley Dazhai.
Bao Meng thought that Lin Jue was dissatisfied, so he hurriedly said: "If you are dissatisfied, what conditions do you want to put forward? Just say it, as long as I can fulfill it. But don't go too far. We, Beishan Dazhai, still have a foothold. If you
If your conditions weaken me too much, my words for you may not be strong enough."
Lin Jue slowly said: "Master Bao Dazhai, there is no need to mention the conditions. What I care about is not how generous your conditions are. What I worry about most is your trustworthiness. Because in my heart, you have actually
There is no trust left. How can I trust your words? That’s the problem. You can agree to any conditions in order to survive at this moment, but if you turn around and turn your back, what will happen?"
Bao Meng said hurriedly: "I swear to God, if I violate it, the heaven will punish me and the earth will destroy me forever..."
Lin Jue waved his hand and said: "No need to swear, we just made an alliance with blood and swore an alliance between heaven and earth not long ago, but what? You still want our lives. Oaths are unreliable."
Bao Meng said awkwardly: "Well... then... what does Military Master Fang say?"
Lin Jue thought for a while and said, "I heard that you have two sons, one is named Bao Yun and the other is Bao Lei, right?"
Bao Meng said in shock: "Yes. What?"
Lin Jue said: "Send your two sons to our Luoyan Valley Village. If you don't keep your promise, we will collect the bodies of your two sons. Don't worry, as long as you keep your promise, Luoyan Valley Village will take care of your two sons."
If you agree, we will make a deal. If you don't agree, we will pull you down. After killing you, we will lead our troops to capture your Beishan Dazhai. Until then, your two sons have still escaped.
We can’t lose it. The worst we can do next is to meet the bandits in Funiu Mountain. It’s still unclear who will lose and who will win. If we win, Funiu Mountain will be ours. Hahaha.”
Bao Meng's face turned purple, and there was a surge of anger in his heart, but he could not vent it out. Although he was extremely reluctant to take his son as hostage, only in this way could he make the other party believe in him and escape from death today. It turned out that he was indeed
There was the thought of regretting it after getting away, but now he has given up this idea. His son's life is in his hands, so he can only cooperate, not fight.
Bao Meng gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "That's it. I just agree."
Lin Jue laughed and said: "Okay, Master Bao is indeed a person who knows the current affairs. He can advance and retreat, bend and stretch. When he is hard, he is like iron, and when he is soft, he can even be as soft as a finger. I admire him."
Bao Meng knew that Lin Jue was teasing him, but at this moment he could only swallow his anger and say nothing.
"Master Gao, Military Advisor Fang, then you can let us go." Bao Meng said in a deep voice.
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Master Bao Dazhai, do you think I am a three-year-old child? You can't leave now. You can only leave when the son is in my hands. Master Bao Dazhai and those brothers have lost their weapons now, right?"
, I’m afraid I’m going to have to aggrieve you for a few days. I still need to arrange things here for a few days, and then we will return to Luoyangu Dazhai together. At that time, the master of Bao Dazhai can write a letter asking the two sons to come to my Luoyangu Dazhai for exchange.
You went back."
Bao Meng cursed in his heart, but he had no choice but to take off his weapon and throw it on the ground. Four or five people around him also took off their weapons and threw them on the ground. Lin Jue walked towards the door of the Juyi Hall and waved to the outside.
Later, Yuan Lang rushed in with a dozen Luoyan Army soldiers.
"Military advisor, what are your orders?"
"Take Chief Bao Dazhai and these guys under guard," Lin Jue said.
Yuan Lang was a little puzzled. He had agreed to kill Bao Meng, but why did he leave him alive? So he looked at Gao Muqing.
Gao Muqing said: "Take him down."
"Yes!" Yuan Lang cupped his hands, turned around and shouted: "Tie him up and take him away."
The Luoyan Army soldiers responded loudly and started to tie people up with ropes. Lin Jue smiled and said: "Be polite to Master Bao Dazhao. There is no need to tie people up."
"As you command!"
The soldiers escorted several people with their swords and filed past Lin Jue. Lin Jue stood with his hands behind his hands and looked at Bao Meng and others who were walking past dejectedly. Suddenly, Lin Jue shouted loudly: "Wait a minute. I almost let you get away with it."
."
Bao Meng was startled, turned around and said in astonishment: "Are you going to regret it?"
Lin Jue said: "Of course not, this matter has nothing to do with you, it has to do with this brother."
Lin Jue pointed at a leader of Beishan Dazhai. Bao Meng looked and saw that it was Jiang Ermao, the leader of the guard camp of the village. He didn't know what Lin Jue meant.
Lin Jue walked up to Jiang Ermao, frowned and looked at his face, nodded and said: "Yes, it's you, the one with the scar on your face. The leader of the village, is it him?"
Gao Muqing was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, nodded and said coldly: "It's him."
Lin Jue nodded and said to Yuan Lang: "Drag this man out and chop off his head."
Jiang Ermao trembled with fright and asked in shock: "What are you doing? Do I have any grudge against you?"
Bao Meng also shouted: "You can't break your promise. Since you agreed to the conditions, you can't touch my brothers."
Lin Jue frowned and said: "Master Bao, I won't touch a hair of the rest of the people, but this guy must die. That day I went to your village with my master of the village, and this guy made filthy words and insulted me.
My Gao Dazhao leader. That day I swore that I would kill him so that my Dazhai master could calm down. If you want to blame, just blame this guy for offending my Dazhai master."
Bao Meng stared in shock and tried to think back, but he couldn't remember what Jiang Ermao said that day in his branch village. Jiang Ermao couldn't remember what he said either, so he shouted: "
I...what did I say that offended the leader of Gao Dazhao? When did I say anything insulting?"
Lin Jue sneered and said: "It seems that you talk too much on weekdays, and I don't even remember that you have said dirty words before. Forget it, I will teach you how to understand. That day I and the leader of Gao Dazhao came to you
In the Juyi Hall, it’s okay for a group of you to show off your power and intimidate us. A few of them insulted me, the leader of Dazhai, saying, “Kill the men, strip off the women’s clothes, and everyone will have fun.”
, hang it on the flagpole to show the public." I saw clearly that one of them is you. The scar on your face is the best to recognize. I estimate that the others have been killed by me just now, but I hope you are alive.
, what’s the point of this?”
Jiang Ermao opened his mouth and looked at Lin Jue blankly: "Just... you want to kill me just because of this?"
Lin Jue sneered and said: "Yes, I am a grudge-bearing person. It's okay if you insult me, but if you insult the leader of my family, you will die."
Jiang Ermao's hands and feet were weak. How could he have known that the casual noise he made at that time would lead to death?
Such terrible consequences.
"I...I...Master of the Dazhai, please beg me for mercy. I'm just..."
Jiang Ermao looked at Bao Meng as if asking for help. Bao Meng sighed and turned his head, thinking: "Brother, your elder brother can't help you, and I don't want to annoy them. My life is in his hands now. You
You should never have scolded that woman. You don’t know the relationship between Fang and Gao Muqing. I’ve seen it a long time ago. Of course he will remember you if you insult his woman in front of Fang.
.Accept your fate.”
Seeing Bao Meng turn away, Jiang Ermao's heart became cold. He knew that the leader of the stronghold was absolutely unwilling to speak for him. The leader of the stronghold only wanted to protect himself, and he didn't care about his own life or death.
"Damn it! This is so unlucky." Jiang Ermao muttered, suddenly jumped up, broke free from the hands of two Luoyan Army soldiers and rushed out of the hall.
Yuan Lang cursed angrily, walked out of the hall quickly, bent his bow and aimed an arrow at the back of Jiang Ermao, who was running away. The densely packed Luoyan Army soldiers outside and the soldiers and horses of the Shirenshan Village who had surrendered looked on blankly.
All this, no one went to chase and intercept Jiang Ermao. However, their eyes were full of ridicule. In their eyes, this guy was actually a dead man. Because among the Luoyan Army, who didn't know that the leader of the third village, Yuan Langjian
His skills are superb and he can cut through a tree with a hundred steps. It is impossible to escape under his command.
Yuan Lang's arrow tip followed the figure running towards the village gate. Finally, the bowstring buzzed, and the arrow flew out like a meteor. With a whistling sound, it crossed dozens of steps in the blink of an eye and nailed Jiang Ermao.
On his back, Jiang Ermao fell to the ground, crawled for a few steps, and then became motionless.
Bao Meng witnessed all this and was frightened. He heard Lin Jue say in a deep voice beside him: "Clean the battlefield immediately, remove all the armor and weapons from these corpses, and throw all the corpses into the valley to feed the wolves. Yuan Lang, lead the troops there
The deputy village disarmed the 300 people in Beishan Dazhai. Anyone who dared to resist was killed on the spot."
