Dulonggang, Zhujiazhuang. Qinbei Pavilion
"Brother Hu, Brother Li Xian is here!"
Zhu Chaofeng greeted the arriving Grand Duke Hu and Li Ying at the entrance of Zhujiazhuang.
"Brother Zhu, are you so anxious to call us here because of the matter of Liangshanbo the day before yesterday?"
Li Ying asked straight to the point.
"Brother Zhu Xian, my daughter, your daughter-in-law was kidnapped by thieves, you must rescue her!"
Grand Duke Hu was old, and he held Zhu Chaofeng's hand tremblingly and said, "Zhujiazhuang is the strongest among the three families in Dulong Mountain. Now that their daughter has been kidnapped, it is impossible for Hujiazhuang to rescue her alone."
"Go in and say it, go in and say it!"
Zhu Chaofeng greeted Hu Taigong and Li Ying to enter Zhujiazhuang.
Entering the Zhu family's residence, Zhu Long, Zhu Hu, and Zhu Biao were already waiting with a team of burly villagers in full body armor.
"Please sit down, both of you!"
Zhu Chaofeng smiled and asked Taigong Hu and Li Ying to take their seats, and then let the servants serve tea.
"Liangshan Bo Sun Lei is aggressive and threatens to deal with me at Dulong Mountain. Do you two uncles have any countermeasures?"
Before Zhu Chaofeng could speak, Zhu Long asked.
"this……"
Grand Duke Hu was asked by Zhu Long and didn't know how to answer. He came to the Zhu family for this matter. Why did the Zhu family ask him back?
"Brother Zhu, in my opinion, this is all a misunderstanding. What kind of person Sun Yingxiong is, how can he be the same as us? Since it is just a misunderstanding, I think if you come to apologize and apologize, you will definitely be forgiven."
Li Ying looked at Zhu Chaofeng and said, the Zhu family obviously wanted to tie the Li family into a chariot and deal with Liangshan together. He was not stupid, so why should he be taken advantage of?
"Master Li, we have an oath to help each other in case of trouble. Now Liangshan is going to attack our Dulong Mountain. Who will be spared? Liangshan are all thieves. They probably want the food from my Dulong Mountain."
Zhu Hu opened his mouth and said that the three villages in Dulong Mountain were strong because they formed a joint defense. Not to mention the bandits and bandits, even the government had to give them some face. They had resisted a lot of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes over the years and saved a lot of wealth.
"Food? If I were someone else, I would think so, but this is Liangshanbo. Sun Lei has been here for two years. How has he ever gone down the mountain to borrow food and disturb the people in the villages and towns?"
Li Ying glanced at Zhu Hu, then looked at Zhu Chaofeng and said, Zhu Chaofeng had some attitude problems today. He didn't speak up about such a big matter. How come it was all the juniors who were talking.
"Master Li, what do you mean by this? Do you think Liangshan will give up if you beg for mercy? They are just thieves who have fallen off the grass!"
Zhu Biao glared at Li Ying and said, Li Ying's words were extremely weak, as if he wanted to kneel down and beg for mercy.
"Brother Zhu, what exactly do you want to say when you ask us to come here today?"
Li Ying ignored Zhu Biao, but stared at Zhu Chaofeng and said, without Zhu Chaofeng's acquiescence, how could the three juniors dare to talk to him like this. Now that Zhu Chaofeng is silent, he feels extremely disrespected.
"Brother Li Xian, I am also thinking about how to protect the village and eliminate thieves!"
Zhu Chaofeng saw that Li Ying was a little angry and smiled to smooth things over.
"Brother Zhu, you and I know very well that even if the three of us work together, we are no match for Liang Shanbo. Being an enemy of Liangshan will only put us and the other three villages into a dead end."
Li Ying looked at Zhu Chaofeng and said, he was too lazy to pay attention to the blushing faces of Zhu Chaofeng and the third son of the Zhu family. They knew the strength of Liang Shanbo very well, and the ten or twenty thousand bankers of the three villages combined were not enough to fill Liangshan's teeth.
"Hey! Brother Li Xian, Liangshan is a thief, why do you want us to go to war?"
Zhu Chaofeng smiled and said.
"What's the meaning?"
Li Ying asked with a frown.
"Brother Li Xian, there are thieves in Liangshan. They have their own government to deal with them. We can just help from the side. With the court officials here, why are we afraid of Liangshan bandits!"
Zhu Chaofeng said.
"The imperial court? How many defeats have the imperial court suffered?"
Li Ying said disdainfully, if the imperial court was reliable, why would the three villages build forts and unite to defend themselves?
"It's different this time. I have united with Dongping Prefecture, and Magistrate Cheng has promised to send troops to support them. As soon as the Liangshan thieves come, we will stop them head-on, and the officers and soldiers will cut off their escape, and they will die without a burial place. We are here at the foot of the mountain Don’t Li Xiandi still have confidence in the trap?”
Zhu Chaofeng said with a complacent look on his face that he had already thought of the countermeasures. With the help of the government and the army, plus the large number of people in their three villages and their strategic location, they were not afraid of Liangshan at all.
"In that case, Li will take his leave."
Li Ying stood up and glanced at everyone in the Zhu family coldly and said, it seems that Zhu Chao's invitation to him today was not a discussion plan at all. To unite the government and Liangshan, such a major matter was not discussed with him, the owner of Lijiazhuang, in advance. You made your own decision and then told him, obviously you didn't take him seriously.
"Brother Li Xian!"
Seeing that Li Ying was about to leave, Zhu Chaofeng asked him to stay. Zhu Long and Zhu Hu blocked the door directly. Zhu Biao just stood aside with a crossbow because of his leg injury.
"Zhu Chaofeng, what do you mean? Do you want to try Li's flying knife?"
Li Ying's face darkened, he shook his cloak, and placed his hands on the five flying knives at his waist.
"Brother Li Xian, what are you doing? Get out of the way! We are all a family!"
Zhu Chaofeng quickly asked his sons to get out of the way. He knew Li Ying's martial arts skills. The flying knife could kill people within a hundred steps. If there was a fight, there would be casualties. And now that the enemy was facing a powerful enemy, it was not the time for a fight.
"snort!"
Li Ying snorted and left.
Li Ying knew very well what Zhu Chaofeng was thinking. He just wanted to help his three sons find a way out. The three sons of the Zhu family were all skilled in martial arts, but they just had no way to enter the imperial court.
Nowadays, Liangshan is so powerful that the imperial court cannot encircle and suppress it, and has suffered many defeats. If the Zhu family can help the imperial court, then the three sons of the Zhu family can rise to prominence, and the Zhu family can rise from a small landowner to a wealthy official family.
But what does this have to do with Li Youying? He has no son, and he is already approaching his forties. Although he has taken a few concubines, he is already powerless. So what does fame and wealth have to do with him? How much of the wealth he had saved could he take away with him?
"The owner of the village!"
Du Xing, the grimacing boy, saw that Li Ying's face was extremely ugly, so he quickly led the horse over.
"Walk!"
Li Ying got on his horse, snorted coldly, and left with the people.
"Master of the village, but that member of the Zhu family made rude remarks again?"
After leaving Zhujiazhuang, Du Xing looked at Li Ying and asked. The three sons of the Zhu family were used to being arrogant. They lacked respect for Li Ying and had many verbal conflicts. It should be the same today.
"They're being rude? They're so arrogant! That's too much!"
Li Ying finally couldn't help shouting, and after yelling, he felt better.
"Duxing, when you get back, you should quickly go to Liangshanbo with your gifts. No matter what, you must let Liangshanbo know the goodwill of my Li Family Village."
Li Ying looked at Du Xing and said.
"Ah...this...villain doesn't know Liangshan...a hero!"
Du Xing was surprised and said quickly that although he had been walking around the rivers and lakes for a few days, he didn't know anyone from Liangshan. He might not be able to climb the mountain after this sudden incident.
"It's okay. I will repair the book myself. You don't have to save money by bringing more gold and silver."
Li Ying looked at Du Xing and said, he has no connections, but he can do many things if he has money.
