night.
Black Cloud Village.
Du Lisi told his father what happened in Pingquan Mansion today.
"Oh? Someone actually assassinated you?" Judge Du was also shocked after hearing this.
"Yes, dad, if Zhang Tianhe hadn't come to the rescue this time, I might have been doomed," Du Lisi said.
"So, you always say that this is not good for Zhang Tianhe, that is not good, and you always like to go against him. At the critical moment, do you know who is the person you are closest to?"
"Yes, what dad taught me was that I had many misunderstandings about him in the past." Du Lisi said.
"Zhang Tianhe has a broad mind and won't argue with you. If it were anyone else, and you treat him the way you usually do, would he be able to save you? From now on, you must be as close to him as possible. You brothers, unite, Outsiders dare not bully you." Judge Du said.
"Dad, I remembered it."
"Then who do you think is going to assassinate you?"
"Maybe it's because I offended too many people in the past, including enemies." Du Lisi said.
"So, you just haven't made any progress, your hair is still young, you don't know how to use your brain before speaking, and you can't even figure out who is your friend and who is your enemy. How can I rest assured? "Judge Du said angrily.
"Dad, what did I say wrong?" Du Lisi felt a little aggrieved.
"Can former enemies sneak into the troupe so easily? This is obviously a premeditated assassination."
"Dad, you mean Zhang Xiluan arranged it in advance?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out," Judge Du said. "People's hearts are sinister, especially in the officialdom. It's hard for others to say that Zhang Tianhe is sincere to you."
"But, since I have agreed to recruit him, and I am also a general under him, why would he kill me?"
"Throughout history, not many people actually died in the enemy camp. Countless famous heroes often died at the hands of their own people, such as Qin's God of War Bai Qi, Prime Minister Li Si, and the founding heroes of the Western Han Dynasty. General Han Xin, the famous Yue Fei, etc. are all like this," Judge Du said, "Think about it, can Zhang Tianhe be recruited in the same way as you?"
"what is the difference?"
"The relationship is different and the situation is different," Judge Du said. "I heard that Li Sizhe's father has an extraordinary relationship with the Governor Zhao Erxun. But we are just a bunch of beards. What background do they have in the officialdom?" What? In addition, when Zhang Tianhe was recruited, he was just a battalion, which was easy for the government to control. At that time, Hongmakan’s Ren Zhanbiao was still there, and we were also there. In this way, Zhang Tianhe was valuable, and the government could Let him destroy Ren Zhanbiao and us. When all three of our families are harmed, they can reap the benefits. And what is the situation now? Ren Zhanbiao is dead, Zhang Tianhe has become the commander of the third battalion, and his strength is no longer what it was before. It's comparable. If the government wants to manipulate him again, it won't be so easy. If you surrender to the court and be under Zhang Tianhe's rule, how can Zhang Xiluan not think more about it?"
"Dad, after hearing what you said, I seem to understand a little bit more."
"The government originally didn't plan to recruit us. He wanted Zhang Tianhe to wipe us out. However, Zhang Tianhe couldn't bear to do this for my sake. Therefore, he did Zhang Xiluan's job and recruited us. , it’s really difficult for him.” Judge Du said.
"Dad, what should we do now?"
"What else can you do? Are you going to be a bandit for the rest of your life if you don't follow the right path? Of course you have to accept the recruitment. With Zhang Tianhe there to look after you, it doesn't matter. Tomorrow, we will select five hundred people and rush to Pingquan. The government will pay travel expenses to the rest and send them home."
"Yes, Dad."
Pingquanfufuyamen.
"Wang Yaqiao, what did you do this time? You were so close to Du Lisi, but you couldn't kill him. Instead, you alerted the snake. You are called the 'number one killer', but it doesn't mean that your 'Three Deadly Axes' have never been used." Did you miss it? What happened today?" Zhang Xiluan was getting angry.
"Master Zhang, I didn't expect that Zhang Tianhe would save him, and his movement skills were so fast." Wang Yaqiao, the leader of the Ax Gang, said.
"Didn't expect that? Do you know how much trouble your mistake has caused me this time? It will make me very passive. Maybe people have already suspected me," Zhang Xiluan said, "At the beginning, if I said, If you can't handle this matter, I can find someone else. It's okay now. Not only did you fail to kill Du Lisi, but you also gave your three axes to others as evidence. Zhang Tian and those under him are not taking it easy. Seniors, like Tang Dalong, Ma Longtan, Liu Bodu, Li Sizhe, Chen Jia, etc., if you pick anyone at random, they are not easy to mess with."
"Sir, I will definitely pay attention next time." Wang Yaqiao said.
"Next time? Where can there be a next time? There is a sum of money here. Take it. You can quickly take your men and leave Pingquan Mansion to avoid the limelight. When I need you in the future, I will send someone to contact you. ," Zhang Xiluan said, "After you go back, you have to practice your ax well."
"Yes, sir." Wang Yaqiao took the money and left Pingquan Mansion overnight with Yu Likui, who played Song Jiang.
Within two days, Du Lisi arrived at Pingquan Mansion with five hundred men.
Zhang Tianhe led his brothers to welcome him twenty miles away.
"Brother, you can come today. From now on, our brothers will be officials in the same court and get along day and night. I am so happy." Zhang Tianhe said.
"Brother, I have misunderstood you a lot and offended you a lot before. I hope you will not forget the mistakes of others and forgive me." Du Lisi said politely when he saw Zhang Tianhe this time.
"Brother, those are all things of the past, why do you still mention him?"
"From now on, you are the leader and I am the deputy. You are my immediate boss. I will do whatever you ask me to do."
"Brother, whether it's a serious matter or a minor matter, let's discuss it between the two of us if we encounter anything." Zhang Tianhe said.
"That won't work. You are the orthodox leader, that is, the head of the family. I am under your leadership, and the order of hierarchy cannot be disrupted." Du Lisi said.
"Brother, we brothers can do anything." Zhang Tianhe saw that his attitude today was quite good, so he took the opportunity to say, "However, there is one thing I have always wanted to say to you, but I have never said it. Today If I say it, I hope you won't refute my face."
"What's the matter? Commander, please give me your instructions."
"I don't dare to take the order. I was discussing with you. That's it. I like two of your men very much. Can you loan them to my brothers? But don't worry, I won't borrow them in vain. I will give you a hundred horses for the infantry battalion. What do you think of the good horse?" Zhang Tianhe asked.
