As for the remaining female guards, they all reached the level of second-rate masters. Even if the Zhujiazhuang in front of them dares to go against them, everyone can easily fight their way out from here.
Zhu Biao, who was on the opposite side, instantly turned red with anger when he heard Lan Niang's words. He had never been looked down upon in such a way, let alone a woman.
Although this woman was very good-looking, she still made him feel angry.
"I hope you won't cry if you lose later..." Zhu Biao snorted coldly. He stretched out his hand to the side, and a villager quickly took a long spear and handed it to Zhu Biao.
Lan Niang walked towards the square in front of the village, while others gathered around, staring at the field.
"Don't worry, as long as you don't cry...and I won't show mercy..." Lan Niang pointed the knife at Zhu Biao opposite.
A burst of dragon roar came from the sword Lan Niang drew out. When the people around heard the sound of dragon roar, their eyes showed a look of astonishment. Everyone looked at the beautiful knife with short breaths, and their eyes were bright.
The pattern on the blade and the gleaming cold light made everyone feel that it was a precious sword.
Even Zhu Biao on the opposite side was attracted by the knife, with a look of yearning in his eyes unconsciously.
"Yunze, you gave this knife to Lan Niang, what should you do..." At this time, Song Lin, who was beside Yunze, walked up to Yunze and said.
She looked at the knife with a little envy. In fact, she had wanted this knife for a long time, but she was too embarrassed to ask Yunze for it. After all, this is Yunze's sword.
Her words made everyone in Zhujiazhuang look slightly shocked. They were not shocked by Yunze's gift of the knife, but shocked by the tone of Song Lin's words.
She seemed to be very confident that the female guard could easily defeat Zhu Biao. After all, Yunze had said that the sword would only be given to the female guard after she defeated Zhu Biao.
"It doesn't matter, I have a lot of these knives. I've already sent a batch over. In a few days, I'll give you one as well, and everyone else will also give one to each of them!" Yunze said with a slight smile to Song Lin.
As soon as he said these words, everyone was stunned, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time. Yunze actually said that he still had such a precious sword, and also gave one to each of his men.
Is he so rich? Moreover, how were so many precious swords forged? They thought they heard wrong.
Just when everyone was shocked, the two people in the field were fighting together instantly. Zhu Biao took the lead in launching the attack. His spear came out of the hole like a snake and stabbed Lan Niang in an instant.
Just as the spear was about to hit Lan Niang, Lan Niang dodged to the side and raised her knife to slash at Zhu Biao's spear. With a crisp sound, the powerful energy rebounded towards Zhu Biao's spear.
Zhu Biao's spear almost came out of his hand. He looked at Lan Niang in shock, his eyes full of disbelief, and the faces of others around him were also full of shock.
Although Zhu Biao's strength is not that of a first-rate master, he is considered to be at the top among second-rate masters, and his strength is almost close to that of a first-rate master. But in the first fight, Zhu Biao fell behind.
Not only that, Zhu Biao's spear was cut with a half-inch-deep gap. Before Zhu Biao could react from the shock, Lan Niang had already kicked Zhu Biao in the heart.
Zhu Biao didn't have time to think about the powerful attack power, and quickly raised his gun to block the kick. While the gun blocked the kick, he was also knocked back several steps by the powerful counterattack.
Lan Niang's attack followed like a shadow, and she slashed again with the long sword, the power of the sword was astonishing. Zhu Biao had to raise his gun to block again. The long knife struck the gun body, and the iron gun shaft once again made a sound of gold and iron.
The huge force of the shock made Zhu Biao's hands numb, and he could hardly hold the gun barrel. What made him gasp even more was that a half-inch gap was opened again where the gun barrel blocked the knife.
The shock in his eyes made him unable to believe that this was true. Just as he was shocked, Lan Niang's long knife struck again, and he was hit again in the same place. Another gap half an inch deep.
The gap in his gun was cut deeper. One more blow and his spear would probably be cut off. He was so frightened that he stepped back and swiped the spear again.
He wanted to rely on the length of the gun body to force Lan Niang back. Unfortunately, although his reaction speed was fast, Lan Niang was faster than him. Lan Niang jumped up and used the power of the gun to fly up.
She raised her sword and struck again. Her sword skills were fierce and domineering, coupled with the long sword that could cut through iron as well as clay, it posed a great threat to Zhu Biao.
Seeing the long sword coming, Zhu Biao's expression changed drastically, and he instinctively raised his gun to block it. However, the moment he raised the gun, he felt bad, and the long sword also hit the gap at this time.
Ding... there was a crisp sound, and the iron spear in his hand was cut off instantly. The long knife passed by his face, and the bursts of cold light made Zhu Biao's scalp numb.
Before Zhu Biao could react, Lan Niang's long knife was already placed across Zhu Hu's neck. As long as the knife passed through, Zhu Biao's head would definitely be chopped off instantly.
Zhu Biao looked at Lan Niang in front of him in a daze, and did not come back to his senses for a long time. He could not hold on to five moves in Lan Niang's hands. Although, there is a reason for that knife.
But even if his weapons were comparable to Lan Niang's, he probably wouldn't be able to sustain twenty-three moves in Lan Niang's hands, and he looked a little lonely. Throwing away the spear in his hand, he said to Lan Niang:
"I lost..." He had an upright temperament and did not become angry because he lost. Instead, he was very calm. He turned around and walked towards Yunze, knelt down on one knee and said:
"Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy, I have offended Zhu Biao, please forgive me... Zhu Biao would like to apologize to you..."
Yunze looked at Zhu Biao who was kneeling in front of him. He knew that this guy was probably convinced. He smiled slightly and helped Zhu Biao up. He patted him on the shoulder and said:
"I said, I don't need you to apologize... I also said, I will definitely avenge Liangshan for your Zhujiazhuang, so you just need to believe me! Don't worry, I will never let you Zhujiazhuang be used as cannon fodder. !”
Upon hearing this, Zhu Biao raised his head and looked at Yunze, with surprise in his eyes and said, "What you said is true!"
Zhu Biao was worried that Yunze would use Zhujiazhuang as cannon fodder. Since Yunze promised in front of him, he believed Yunze a little.
"Of course...if you don't believe it, you can wait and see...if I really want you to use Zhujiazhuang as cannon fodder, you can refuse to execute my order!" Yunze nodded to Zhu Biao.
When Zhu Biao heard this, he looked slightly happy and said: "Okay... then it's settled. As long as I, Zhujiazhuang, are not allowed to be used as cannon fodder, I, Zhu Biao, will never refuse!"
"Your Majesty, please... I will prepare for you..." Zhu Biao quickly made a gesture of invitation to Yunze.
Hearing this, Yunze shook his head and walked towards the mourning hall.
"Since you're here, let's pay homage to your brother first. Your brother Zhu Long is also a hero, but it's a pity... alas... I couldn't cover my face!"
When brothers Zhu Biao and Zhu Hu heard this, their eyes suddenly turned red, and tears welled up in their tiger eyes. They followed Yunze into the mourning hall and took three sticks of incense for Yunze. After Yunze bowed a few times with the incense, he placed the incense on the incense burner.
As for Song Lin, Song Youwei and others, they did not go to offer incense. The two have different identities, so Zhu Longke cannot enjoy their incense. As for Lan Niang and other guards, they are not of a good enough level.
Yunze was brought to the back hall by the Zhu brothers, and Yunze was placed in the main position. Zhu Hu was the first to speak out: "Sir, do you have a complete plan to deal with the Liangshan bandits!?"
He knew that Yunze did not bring any reinforcements, and now he only hoped that Yunze could have a good strategy to deal with Liangshan. It was thought that Yunze was alone. He didn't hold out much hope either.
The same was true for Zhu Biao. Although Yunze promised him face to face that he would not let people from Zhujiazhuang be used as cannon fodder, he just couldn't figure out how Yunze could help them fight against Liangshan.
"Zhu Erzhu, how many ironwares do you have in your village? How many blacksmiths and carpenters are there?" Yunze didn't rush to answer the other person, he asked.
In addition to the five or six thousand soldiers in Zhujiazhuang, there should be about 20,000 people in the village. Maybe even more. After all, 20,000 was the official number known.
It is common practice for Zhuangzi like them to conceal the numbers of villagers and soldiers, and their purpose is nothing more than to avoid taxes. One less reported means one less tax.
Yunze didn't ask about how many soldiers and civilians there were in Zhujiazhuang. This number was relatively sensitive, so he asked people about this first, for fear that the other party would cast unnecessary doubts on him.
"The total number of these craftsmen that your Excellency mentioned should be as many as three to four hundred. I don't know what you are asking about..." Upon hearing this, Zhu Hu looked at Yunze in confusion.
Yunze didn't say much. He took out a few drawings from his body and handed them to brothers Zhu Hu and Zhu Biao, who each took a part of the drawings.
After seeing the above content, the two people's eyes instantly showed a look of shock. There is also a deep sense of disbelief.
"Sir, is this the newly developed arrow by Chaoting? Also, what is the weapon of this bamboo thunder?" Zhu Hu raised his head and looked at Yun Zedao.
Zhu Biao's breathing was a little rapid, and his eyes were full of surprise. He looked at Yunze and said, "Sir, do you really want to hand over these weapon drawings to us?"
Since he is the owner of the third village, he certainly knows about weapons. If these arrows on Yunze's drawings can be made, let alone resist Liangshan's attack, if they use them well, it is really possible to destroy Liangshan.
"Since I gave this thing to you, of course it is considered as a gift to you. You only need to make a batch in the shortest possible time. With your ability, it shouldn't be possible. As for what the bamboo thunder is. You are very We’ll find out soon.”
"You should be able to find gunpowder. If not, you can go to the county or Zengtou City and other places to buy some saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal. I will tell you slowly!"
"Huang Gai of Liangshan died two days ago. Liangshan should not have the energy to attack Zhujiazhuang during this period. At least, you still have one month to develop. I will find a way to delay the time as long as possible. By then, wait for us If you are well prepared, if Liangshan attacks again, they will never come back!"
Yunze said to Zhu Hu and Zhu Biao.
At this time, Liangshan is in the midst of civil strife. Chao Gai's death will make Song Jiang and others ready to take action. In addition to Song Jiang, several other factions may also want to seize the position of the Lord of Liangshan.
Of course, Song Jiang will definitely win in the end, but it will take Song Jiang at least a month to stabilize the situation in Liangshan. During this period, Song Jiang may send some people to harass Zhujiazhuang.
But the possibility of sending troops on a large scale is definitely unlikely. After all, if the internal situation is not stabilized at this time, Song Jiang is likely to let others take over and take away the position of the Lord of Liangshan.
During this period, if more trouble is caused to Song Jiang, the delay will be even longer.
Now, Yunze is waiting for the information sent by his intelligence personnel. Of course, he also needs to contact Lu Junyi and Lin Wen who are in Liangshan.
These two men were crucial to his plans. He brought Gao Yi's head, which was what Lin Chong wanted most. Of course, the most important thing was that Lin Chong wanted to kill Gao Chang. As long as Yunze gave Lin Chong the hope of killing Gao Chang, it shouldn't be difficult to make Lin Chong return. big.
Moreover, Yunze may still have secret letters between Song Jiang and Gao Chang that he found from Li Kui. There is a mortal feud between Lin Chong and Gao Chang.
Song Jiang colluded with Gao Chang and wanted to recruit him. Even if Lin Chong tried to be loyal, he would know that he had been betrayed by Song Jiang. If he is still loyal to Song Jiang, it can only be said that he is really hopeless.
As for Lu Junyi, it is even simpler. If Song Jiang and others hadn't plotted against him, how could Lu Junyi be forced to become a bandit? Just put what Song Jiang did to Lu Junyi in front of him.
Lu Junyi and Song Jiang are sure to fall out. With these two unstable factors, it will be very simple for Liangshan to destroy them.
If Song Jiang is destroyed in the entire Liangshan Mountains, others will not have anything to worry about.
Just after Yunze explained to brothers Zhu Hu and Zhu Biao some precautions and production requirements for arrows and bamboo thunder, Zhu Biao suddenly stood up and knelt down in front of Yunze again.
This time Zhu Biao knelt down on his knees, his expression full of guilt and respect.
"Sir, it was Zhu Biao who was ignorant and misunderstood you. From now on, Zhu Biao will never frown if you have any assignments. Please forgive Zhu Biao for his rudeness just now!"
Yunze was a little stunned by Zhu Biao's sudden move, but a smile soon appeared on his face. This kid was a bit stupid. He is also very straight-tempered.
Compared with the apology just now, this time he was more sincere. The drawings of arrows and bamboo thunder weapons that Yunze took out made Zhu Biao understand that Yunze really wanted to help Zhujiazhuang destroy Liangshan, not Zhu Biao was really grateful for using them Zhujiazhuang as cannon fodder.
Seeing his silly look, Song Lin and Song Youwei laughed a little. Lan Niang on the side was also amused by his move.
Hearing Lan Niang's laughter, Zhu Biao looked up and his face suddenly turned red. He didn't dare to look at Lan Niang's face. However, the way he looked at Lan Niang made Yunze a little stunned.
Could it be that this boy was tortured by Lan Niang and fell in love with Lan Niang at first sight? You must know that this guy seems to have a fiancée, who is really Hu Sanniang, the current owner of Hujiazhuang.
Thinking of this, Yunze's eyes showed a bright light, and he wondered what the relationship between Zhu Biao and Hu Sanniang was like. If possible, Yunze hopes to accept Hu Sanniang. Let her be her own woman.
Only in this way can Yunze be able to rest assured that Zhujiazhuang and Hujiazhuang will become his other bases.
