When Qiu Fu glanced out of the corner of his eye.

Zhu Di knew what the other party was up to.

It's nothing more than letting Tuqiao Village be used as bait.

No way!

Call him cold-blooded or selfish!

He would never risk the lives of the entire village just to save another group of people.

The other party is a thieves, and they are all on horseback.

If you are not careful, all the forty-seven people who come out may be lost.

When the time comes, every family will be hung with white silk ribbons, and every family will be orphaned and widowed?

He is not that selfless!

"arrive!"

He responded quickly and walked quickly to Qiu Fu's horse. Before Qiu Fu could speak, he immediately objected seriously: "Qiu Qianhu, I know what you want to do, but I refuse!"

Qiu Fu's face turned dark instantly.

Raise your hands and whip your whip.

When he whipped it towards Zhu Di, he twisted his wrist, and with a snap, the sonic boom of an empty whip flower sounded on the right side of Zhu Di.

Wow!

The villagers immediately gathered around and glared at Qiu Fu angrily.

Zhu Di did not back down and looked directly at Qiu Fu.

Zhu Neng looked at Uncle Eighth and others, his expression changed.

A flash of fear flashed in Qiu Fu's eyes. He was worried about Zhu Silang, not these villagers.

Pretending to be strong, he sneered, "Zhu Silang, you have to think carefully about the consequences of not following the order."

"There will be a guard of troops. If you find any excuse, you can let your folks stay here forever!"

"This group of thieves must have a lot of looted property. As long as you are willing to use this bait, I can agree to it. After the incident is completed, your village can get a 10% share!"

"You guys should give it a try, or force me to do it."

The coldness on Zhu Di's face gradually faded, "We want to share 20% of the wealth!"

"Impossible!" Zhu Neng laughed angrily, "The forty-seven of you will get 10%, and the whole body of us will get 90%."

"Brothers can barely accept this allocation."

"Okay, I agree." Zhu Di didn't hesitate because he suddenly realized.

If Tuqiao Village is allocated too much and the guards are allocated too few soldiers, there will inevitably be resentment towards Tuqiao Village.

After leaving the customs, if you encounter danger, the other party may not be willing to sincerely rescue you.

"However, we want to divide the horses among ten!" Zhu Di immediately made a new request, "This group of horse thieves has horses. We don't want good horses. We just choose the ten worst horses."

‘All members of the Emperor’s family have such a big appetite? ’

The corners of Qiu Fu's lips twitched, and he cursed secretly in anger. He glared at Zhu Di fiercely and said angrily: "Okay! I promise you!"

After decision.

Zhu Di, Qiu Fu, and Zhu Neng rushed to the entrance of the village together.

This village is called Liujiacun.

Everyone in the village has the surname Liu.

The three of them quickly reached an agreement with the clan leader of Liujia Village.

The sedan followed the convoy from Tuqiao Village on the road.

The thieves did not agree on where Liujiacun would send Ms. Liu.

Just let Liujiacun carry the sedan chair north along the official road.

From this we can see that these thieves are very cunning and cautious.

He was afraid that Liujiacun would ask the government to set up an ambush.

They will only take action to rob people after they are sure it is safe!

The Tuqiao Village convoy and the sedan chair walked together, just to bet that these thieves would not only not be afraid, but would also be greedy for the grain and grass they transported.

Whether it can happen or not depends entirely on God's will.

Before departure.

Liu Zuchang, the patriarch of Liujia Village and the father of the married woman, solemnly toasted Zhu Di and others.

"You brave men of Jiangning County, no matter whether this matter is successful or not, Tuqiao Village is the benefactor of my Liujia Village! The two villages have been friendly for generations! If Tuqiao Village is of any use to Liujia Village in the future, Liujia Village will definitely have a knot. I will repay you with my title ring!”

After saying this, Liu Zuchang drank it all in one gulp.

He threw the bowl on the ground, lifted up the skirt of his robe, and knelt down in front of everyone in Tuqiao Village.

Others in Liujiacun also knelt down.

Although Uncle Liu and others were scared, they were very moved. They drank it all and went to help the people in Liujia Village.

Zhu Di and Uncle Eight drank indifferently.

Neither of them is the kind of person who is particularly easily infected by emotions.

Only after being together for a long time can you be touched.

This is related to the experience of the two people.

Visually, the Tuqiao Village convoy and the empty sedan chair drove away from the village along the official road.

Zhu Neng smiled and gave a thumbs up, "Although Zhu Silang is usually very friendly, he is very proud deep down, but Qianhu you..."

"Do you really think it was me who made Zhu Silang surrender?" Qiu Fu interrupted Zhu Neng with a wry smile, "I do plan to give Zhu Silang a whip!"

"Just as I was pulling it down, the flash of a biting expression in Zhu Silang's eyes made me flinch."

"There seems to be a man-eating beast sleeping and dormant in Zhu Silang's body!"

Zhu Neng looked at Qiu Fu in shock.

Qiu Fu smiled bitterly and nodded: "It's true, I didn't lie to you. At that time, I clearly felt that if I took a breath late, Zhu Silang would take action!"

"And it's very likely that I will be the one who dies!"

"I've never seen Zhu Silang take action, so I don't know about his martial arts, but you know, those of us who serve as soldiers, our senses are often very accurate!"

"Fortunately, Zhu Silang finally understood my good intentions and the relationship was not broken."

kindness?

Zhu Neng looked at Qiu Fu suspiciously.

Qiu Fu explained with a smile: "They incorporate training into their daily routine. Why?"

Zhu Neng suddenly understood.

All the training in Tuqiao Village is to save lives after coming out of seclusion.

There is no comparison between thieves inside the customs and those outside the customs.

It is better to train and adapt with a group of thieves inside the customs, and then adapt again after leaving the customs.

"No wonder, later on, the frost on Zhu Silang's face faded away." Zhu Neng said with a smile: "I still have some understanding of Zhu Silang after having been in contact with him for more than 20 days."

"Now that he understands Qianhu's good intentions, he won't hold a grudge."

"I won't go snitching in front of Duke Cao."

Qiu Fu shook his head: "I'm not afraid of him snitching. Of course, I also have my own little thoughts."

"I would like to take this opportunity to test the effectiveness of marking training in Tuqiao Village."

"If they can stand the test this time, we will fully implement it in the military."

As he said that, he turned to look at Zhu Neng and Tan Yuan, "Old Zhu, you take your brothers and follow them thirty miles away."

"Tan Yuan, you and I go into the village, change into ordinary clothes, and follow Tuqiao Village. I want to see for myself the results of their training!"

On the official road.

Zhu Di sat on the shaft of the carriage, lost in thought.

new

Zhou Lang observed several times and finally couldn't help but said, "Mr. Zhu, if you have something on your mind, you can tell me. I may not be able to help, but it will be easier if you tell me."

His thoughts were interrupted and Zhu Di came back to his senses.

I couldn't help but laugh.

He was thinking about how much he had changed in the past year of peace and quiet.

Military acumen became dull and dormant.

Emotions can actually influence thinking and decision-making.

He wasn't like this before.

Take this incident as an example.

Because of his feelings for the villagers, when he discovered Qiu Fu's plan, he was immediately swayed by his emotions and made a decision to directly refuse.

The whip that Qiu Fu was going to give him instantly awakened the coldness and ruthlessness dormant in his body.

It was at this time that rational decision-making ability revived.

‘Qiu Fu, Qiu Fu, I won’t keep a small account for you this time. Although you have small thoughts and want to test the results of our marking training in Tuqiao Village, you also have good intentions. ’

Zhu Di ventriloquised and smiled, taking off the three-stone hard bow he was carrying.

Zhizhizhi...

Amidst the sound of the bow string being tightened, the three-stone hard bow was manipulated like a full moon.

'After passing Shandong, we are getting closer and closer to leaving the customs. The folks need this experience, and I also need to get back to my previous state. ’

Now, he especially hopes that these thieves will not be cowardly!

Snapped!

He let go suddenly and the bowstring rebounded.

Zhu Di turned his head and looked behind him. The sedan was just an empty sedan. There were eight sedan bearers, and the four walking behind were good guards from Qiu Fu.

Zhang Wu is among them.

Compared to the other three soldiers, Zhang Wu volunteered to follow.

He looked away and said with a smile: "Zhou Lang, help me drive the car. I have something I need to tell Uncle Eight and his friends."

"Mr. Zhu, please be busy." Zhou Lang said with a smile.

Watching Zhu Di jump, like an antelope hanging its horns, falling from the shaft of the car to the ground, and walking forward quickly.

He frowned and murmured: "Why do I feel that something is different about Mr. Zhu?"

Zhu Di gave instructions one by one from behind.

Finally catching up with Uncle Eighth and sitting on the other side of the car, Zhu Di smiled and asked, "Uncle Eighth, can you understand why I agreed?"

Uncle Eighth turned his head and grinned under the starlight, "At first, Uncle Eighth thought you were just because of the wealth and ten horses. Only on the way did you figure out that you wanted to use this group of horse bandits to make Fourth and others adapt in advance. "

"The riding skills of the thieves inside the pass, even if they are old bandits, are not as good as those outside the pass."

Zhu Di smiled, patted the ordnance on Uncle Eighth's car, and warned: "Uncle Eighth, please quietly open a few bundles of ordnance."

Uncle Eighth's eyes widened in shock.

Zhu Di smiled and said: "What are you afraid of? Just wipe it after use and put it back again. Is it possible that we are really waiting to be killed by horse bandits with our bare hands?"

It stands to reason that the ordnance transported under escort is never allowed to be used privately.

There is a seal on each bundle.

Uncle Eight nodded solemnly.

Zhu Di continued to explain, "When I heard the sound of horse hooves, Uncle Eight, you are in front and I am in the back. I immediately directed the villagers to close the car formation according to what I have practiced these days."

"I have already told the others that after closing, I will come to you to collect the weapons as soon as possible."

After taking note of it carefully, Uncle Eighth nodded and said, "Okay, Uncle Eighth has remembered it."

"Silang, don't worry about it. Life and death are determined by fate and wealth. You have done a good job."

"Boy, even if something happens, no one will blame you."

Zhu Di smiled and jumped out of the carriage.

Just treat Zhu Di and others as bait.

Hundreds of miles behind them, Zhu Ping and his wife, who traveled north to Peiping, stayed in the county government office of a small county.

After Zhu Xi washed his feet, he couldn't wait to jump on the bed, hugged Guanyin Nu, and kissed her hard. Then he was satisfied and entered the sage state. He said with emotion: "The fourth child passed by here two days ago. They should meet each other soon." It’s their turn.”

"I don't know what kind of torture he got into by sleeping in the open air."

Guanyin slave said hurriedly: "Can we help a group of fourth brothers? I don't even know how to repay Miaoyun."

"cannot."

Zhu Fang shook his head helplessly, "We can't speak even after we meet. If the fourth brother's identity is exposed, my father will definitely ask the fourth brother to move away from Tuqiao Village."

Guanyin slave stopped talking.

Miaoyun and the others have already integrated into Tuqiao Village. If they change places, they will have to integrate again.

Her experience made her very aware of how difficult it is to integrate into a new and unfamiliar environment.

royal palace.

In the imperial study room, the lights are brightly lit, the candles are burning, and they make crackling sounds from time to time.

Mao Xiang, who was hastily summoned into the palace, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who was reviewing the memorial. He wanted to ask several times, but was afraid of disturbing Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts.

At a certain moment, Zhu Yuanzhang asked casually without raising his head: "I haven't heard from Qiu Fu and others for several days. Where are they now?"

Mao Xiang tried his best not to laugh.

Summoned him into the palace late at night just to question Qiu Fu and his men?

The emperor just wants to save face and suffer the consequences!

You still need the consideration of a minister like him!

"Your Majesty, the latest news is from two days ago. They were very close to Shandong two days ago."

"It should be in Shandong now."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly and raised his head, "In the past few years, the Shandong local government has frequently reported that thieves in Shandong are relatively active, requesting the court to allocate silver taels to exterminate the thieves. What is the situation now?"

No! I'm still worried about His Highness!

Mao Xiang laughed secretly and replied: "Your Majesty, you should know that thieves and local powerful people are always inextricably linked."

"In recent years, we have indeed achieved some results in recruiting surrenders and rebels, but thieves in Shandong, Hebei, Henan and other places are still relatively active."

"Jinyiwei wanted to intervene, but the court and local civil servants tried their best to reject it..."

He noticed that Zhu Yuanzhang's brows furrowed even more tightly.

Mao Xiang said hurriedly: "But I think that with Zhu Silang's force, a small thieves can't do anything to him."

"We didn't ask him! Whether he is dead or alive has nothing to do with us!"

Mao Xiang lowered his head hurriedly, trying not to laugh.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand: "Go down."

"yes!"

Mao Xiang took the order and came out of the imperial study. He couldn't help it anymore and grinned.

Smiling, his face turned cold. As he walked out of the palace quickly, he said coldly to himself: "It's time to completely rectify these rubbish in the strongholds along the way!"

"It's been two days, and there's been no new news. The good life Jinyiwei provided them has made their life so comfortable!"

Any local stronghold of Jinyiwei is either engaged in business, farming or studying, or setting up a hook bar... In short, they can all enjoy the convenience and privileges provided to them by the Zhenfu Si Yamen.
