Zhang Shou's understanding of these two words is limited to various written materials, and the image materials are basically conjectures of later generations, but this does not prevent him from instantly realizing the seriousness of this matter. However, at the same time,
, but he suddenly thought of what Zhu Ying had told him, and then he just used it to poke Zhang Chen.
When he went to see Zhu Ying because of this, Zhu Ying happened to look towards him as well.
"You're not here for Zhang Chen, are you?"
"There must be someone who wants to take revenge against Zhang Chen!"
Zhu Ying swore loudly and found that Zhang Shou also had a tacit understanding. She immediately became even more happy. She glanced sideways at Zhu Hong, who was full of anxiety, and said with some annoyance: "A Shou and I can run, but those dandies here can
Run, where are there so many men, women, and children in this village? My father once told me that the most terrifying guys are the rebels, who burn, kill, loot, and do all kinds of evil!"
Little ancestor, you know they are doing all kinds of evil, but you still can't bear it? Zhu Hong was so anxious that the veins in his head were about to pop out.
But the next moment, Zhang Shou said something, and he suddenly calmed down as if a bucket of ice water was poured on his head.
"Everyone knows that under the emperor's feet in the capital, there are the largest number of troops and the most fortified defenses. Even in the Linhai camp, there were incidents like the killing of officers by camp roars. Logically speaking, if the rebel soldiers who managed to escape from the camp want to escape for their lives, they should not hide in the mountains.
Did Lao Lin go to avoid the limelight? But he did the opposite and went straight to the capital. Do you want to throw yourself into a trap, or do you want to perish together?"
Zhu Hong didn't even bother to look at Zhu Ying, who was full of approval, and asked very carefully: "Do you think Mr. Shou thinks this news is fraudulent?"
Zhang Shou thought for a while and shook his head slightly: "There should be no problem with the information channels of Duke Zhao's mansion, but is this the news that the Madam sent to you, Brother Zhu?"
"No...it's because the eldest lady went to Beijing for a short stay, so Zhao Guogong set up a secret line near the capital and received urgent news." Zhu Hong didn't have time to think about whether it was appropriate to tell Zhang Shou such a secret matter, not to mention in front of Zhu Ying.
He couldn't hide it, "The person who came here came at a high speed, and there was a command talisman to prove it. He left immediately after the news came. He said he would rush to the capital to report the news to Madam Tai."
"Regardless of whether the news is true or false, as soon as Brother Zhu reveals the news in Cuiyun Room, most of the people here are the children of Guijie who have never experienced anything. Do you think everyone will panic and run away immediately? At that time, push
Fighting each other, trying to hold each other back, anything can happen... The things ordinary people do in critical situations are sometimes more terrifying than the rebellion!"
Zhang Shou spoke extremely solemnly, and Zhu Ying could not help but feel a shiver in her heart. She nodded quickly and said: "Yes, I also heard my father say that when the Northern invaders invaded, the people on the border helped the old and young to escape, trampling on each other, it was terrible. Moreover,
What if someone deliberately lets us, the people from Duke Zhao's palace, come to report the news, but intends to intercept us on our way to escape, then wouldn't our trip be a trap?"
Unexpectedly, Zhu Ying could understand her meaning so quickly. Zhang Shou smiled at her appreciatively and immediately added: "Yes, we have to consider another possibility. If it is not for Zhang Chen, once someone knows about the capital, then
Duoguijie's disciples happen to be here, and they may intercept such a group of people from threatening the imperial court. Therefore, it may be better to stay here and wait for help than to rush back to Beijing."
Zhu Hong's face turned pale when Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying spoke to him together, and he couldn't help but ask: "Young Master Shou, you put it simply. This village is flat on all sides, how can we defend it?"
"Well..." Zhang Shou gently rubbed his chin, then looked at Zhu Ying and said with a smile, "Although I, the nominal teacher, can suppress these guys in Cuiyunjian, I am not as familiar with you as Yingying...
…”
Seeing Zhu Ying's eyes light up, he chuckled and said, "How about you go scare them and recruit their guards? I will go to the village immediately to recruit people. If I am not wrong, among the residents in the village, the former
There should be more than one Mr. Yang who has fought with your father."
It is impossible to say that Zhu Ying is fearless. She has encountered the biggest scene since she was a child, that is, assassins. But if she rashly goes back, she is likely to encounter danger on the way, and she will leave behind so many people in the village.
It was absolutely impossible for her, who had been proud since childhood, to escape alone with someone who was kind to her. Therefore, she suppressed this fear from the beginning.
At this moment, when she heard Zhang Shou say that Yang Laoguan, a highly respected man in the village, had fought with her father, she was overjoyed.
"Old man Yang fought with my father? That's great! You go to the village and ask him to gather people. I'll gather all the guards of these guys. I can't gather dozens of people! I'd like to
Let’s see what kind of rebels dare to attack us!”
"Then I'll leave it to you!" Zhang Shou smiled and nodded to Zhu Ying, then strode away.
As soon as he left, Zhu Hong couldn't help but ask: "Miss, do you really want to stay like this? In case Mr. Yishou is just talking about it, he actually wants to take the opportunity to leave first..."
"Are you stupid?" Zhu Ying glared at Zhu Hong with her brows raised, and her tone was extremely annoyed, "The same thing happened with Zhu Yu before. If you came to report to me after teaching him a lesson, how could you let him leak the news and cause trouble to someone?
Come to pick a fight? Are you still suspicious of Ah Shou? Do you think you have better judgment than my father and my grandmother, or do you think you are at least better than me?"
"There is absolutely no such meaning in a humble position..."
Seeing Zhu Hong hurriedly pleading guilty, Zhu Ying said neatly: "Ah Shou asked me to do this because he thought I was more familiar with the people here than him and could lose my temper. Besides, those pig heads looked at me staying.
I won’t make a fuss about leaving. I can speak better than him, a retired disciple of Grandpa Ge! As for the village, of course he has more prestige than me after having stayed for more than ten years!"
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. You go find someone. First... well, call me Zhang Chen and Lu Sanlang! Even with my great abilities, I can't suppress a group of weaklings. I have to start with the important things.
People grab it and press it down layer by layer...wait, maybe there is a faster way!"
While Zhu Ying was planning to establish her authority, Zhang Shou had already hurried to the village. He went straight to Yang Laoguan's house. As soon as he entered the door, the sharp-eyed Yang Dalang quickly called out: "Dad, the young man is here!"
Zhang Shou was very satisfied with Yang Dalang's title, but the next moment, Yang Laoguan poked his head out of the main door, and immediately greeted him with surprise and joy: "If you have anything to do, uncle, just ask me to come over, why did you come in person?"
?”
"Time is urgent, don't talk nonsense." Zhang Shou grabbed Old Man Yang's sleeve, half dragged and half dragged the old man into the house again, and then said briefly and concisely what Zhu Hong had just said.
While he was talking, he observed Old Man Yang's expression and found that the old man, who was smiling playfully at first, gradually lost his smile. Eventually, his eyes, which used to smile so much that they often squinted, revealed a bit of murderous intent and solemnity.
"I never expected that after so many years of peace, our village would be treated as a soft persimmon one day! The eldest lady and uncle are really good. When encountering a bad wolf, it is better to fight than to run, otherwise they will be chased to death!
"
Yang Laoguan smiled murderously, and then he opened his throat and shouted: "Boss, open the box for me and get out the old man who was eating. Second brother, go and call people from door to door, Deng Erniu, Qiao
Hu, Si Baozi, Liu Da..."
He announced more than a dozen names, and when he heard two voices of agreement coming from outside the door without hesitation, he rolled up his sleeves. On the thin skin of his arms, veins popped out one by one, but they were bigger than these veins.
What is more eye-catching is the bulging muscles.
Seeing Zhang Shou glance at his arm, he chuckled, waved his arm twice, and then said nonchalantly: "I haven't moved my hands in many years, and I don't know if I'm rusty. I'm waiting for our good news."
Well, not to mention just a hundred rebel soldiers, even if there are more, if we have twenty or thirty strong men, old and young, we will definitely be able to deal with them!"
Zhang Shou originally had such a guess in his mind, but now he saw that the guess was about to become a reality. Although this was a good thing that made people reassured, he was moved in his heart and finally said softly: "Lian Po is old and can still fight.
Of course I won’t fail to trust you. But I’m not afraid of ten thousand, I’m just afraid of the unexpected. How about we come up with a smart plan before we can defeat you?”
When Zhang Shou and Yang Laoguan had made plans, they saw the villagers who had been summoned again. Seeing that a large group of people immediately calmed down after the initial shock and anger, they immediately accepted their respective tasks without saying a word, and went back to convene
As a junior, Zhang Shou bid farewell to the confident old man Yang and walked briskly back to Cuiyun Room.
Even if they were from the old army, it really doesn't matter if Zhao Guogong left so many people in this village to take care of his "prospective son-in-law"?
Strictly speaking, this seems to be a taboo, right?
He was muttering in his heart, when Zhang Shou walked around the panda screen wall and came to the Qingfeng Xulai Hall, he happened to see Zhu Ying coming out of it happily. As soon as the two met, Zhu Ying said happily: "Ah Shou, I have done everything!"
"
Zhang Shou couldn't help but have a bad premonition, and immediately asked cautiously: "What can be done?"
"Haha." Zhu Ying smiled proudly, "I called Lu Sanlang and Zhang Chen over to see what was going on. Then I asked them to gather the others, and on the pretext of inviting them to taste tea, I drugged them except the two of them.
Everyone except this drug has died."
Miss, you are so... so powerful! Besides robbers, who would carry that kind of medicine with them these days...
Zhang Shou took a breath, and then had to admit that it was indeed a stroke of genius for Zhu Ying to kill a group of guys who were likely to succeed but failed. So, he gave people a thumbs up in admiration.
Faced with Zhang Shou's unabashed appreciation, Zhu Ying became even more elated.
"Although those guys have many followers to protect them, they are definitely not of the same mind when something happens. So, I told them that the rebel army has now flowed to the capital area. I sent people back to the capital to ask for help and let them stay in the water.
The pavilion and the two bamboo houses next to it, watch your master, leave other houses vacant, and don’t cause any trouble for me!"
Zhang Shou naturally understood everything: "In other words, in addition to the eight people in your family, that is, the guards of Zhang Chen and Lu Sanlang, you have gathered more than 20 people in total? Well, what you want is to work together
It’s not that there are too many people!”
"That's right! Those rebels had better not come. If they do come, don't even think about leaving!" Zhu Ying clenched her fists happily, as if she was a master, "Zhang Chen and Lu Zhutou are very easy to control."
, Besides, you might want to use them for some use, so I’ll keep them. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have any use for them, and I’d even lose a piece of their medicine!”
While he was dumbfounded, Zhang Shou couldn't help but secretly admire Zhu Ying's sensitivity.
Yes, he does need Lu Sanlang and Zhang Chen, otherwise it would be too thin to rely on Zhu Ying alone... Even if it is a hostage, it would be better to have two more, right?
