The men and horses on both sides retreated, and the Huangmen Mountain side closed the gate of the village tightly. Tang Heng and Lin Chong turned back, still unsatisfied, and went straight to Gaokan.
"Young Master, that thief is a bald donkey who likes to humiliate people. Please ask me to go there again and I will definitely tie him up and bring him to the Young Master!"
Gao Kan said with a relieved smile: "Commander Tang, don't worry, we have plenty of time, why bother with such bandits?"
Lin Chong said hurriedly: "Master, I see that the thieves here are not very courageous. I am afraid that they don't have any trump cards. Why don't you order one or two people to call the door again and persuade them with good words? If they can take the initiative to come out and surrender, it will also show the master's kindness and kindness." It's a good talk to have little time to waste when you come, and to pass the news on to the generals and let the world know the virtue of the young master."
Just now Tang Heng was still angry at not being able to capture Lu Zhishen and told him to run away. Now when he heard Lin Chong's words, he suddenly agreed.
"What Coach Lin said is absolutely true, but my subordinate was reckless just now. If you are interested, Master, I would like to go."
Hearing this, Gao Kan pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "Forget it, Coach Yang and the others have not yet turned around, so I will give these people another chance, but Commander Tang must be careful of hidden arrows. It doesn't matter if he fails to persuade them to surrender. The arrangements are complete, and sooner or later the mountain gate will be closed." Take it.”
"Yes!" Tang Heng accepted the order and immediately turned around and packed up to persuade him to surrender.
After he left, Lin Chong approached Gao Kan and whispered to Gao Kan, "Master, do you want me to pick up Coach Yang and the others?"
"It's okay, let's wait and see if Commander Tang tries to persuade him." Gao Kan waved his hand and said.
In front of him, Tang Heng walked under the gate of the village and offered another kind words.
At this time, a little soldier's head stuck out from the mountain gate. He talked to him for a while, and his words became looser.
After receiving the news, Tang Heng took advantage of the opportunity for Xiao Bing to go back to report, and hurriedly turned back and reported the good news to Gaokan.
"Sir, the village is really empty. The soldiers at the village gate said they should go back and report to their master, and ask the master to come out and speak."
While he was talking, he heard the sound of bushes on the mountain next to him, as if someone was coming.
When Tang Heng heard the sound, he immediately became vigilant and guarded Gaokan behind. He was careful and alert. Lin Chong was also normal when he saw this.
After a while, they saw three people coming down the hillside over there.
It was only when I got closer that I saw clearly that the leader was Yang Zhi, followed by two people who had gone into the mountain with him earlier and sneaked into the stronghold to investigate.
After recognizing clearly that it was Yang Zhi, Tang Heng's face relaxed slightly and he stepped aside.
Yang Zhi rushed forward, knelt down on one knee with his fists clasped, and reported: "Sir, I am late, please forgive me."
"Coach Yang, you have worked hard. Can you find out what the situation is in the village?"
Gao Kan held his hands up, so Yang Zhi stood up to speak and asked at the same time.
Yang Zhi immediately reported: "Young Master Qi, just as the Neihuang County magistrate said in a secret letter, there are not many people in the village, only the old and the weak are left behind. However, my subordinates found out that apart from the miscellaneous soldiers, there were many people in the village gate." There are two people who need to be careful.”
Hearing this, Gaokan pretended to be surprised and asked, "Oh, who are they?"
"Young Master Qi, after investigation by my subordinates, I found out that one of them is one of the four bandits in Huangmen Mountain. I call him the divine fortune teller Jiang Jing. The other one doesn't seem to be from the mountain. He just came up the mountain not long ago. He is a great monk like a tiger and a bear. A water-milled Zen staff looks very powerful." Yang Zhi hurriedly explained.
"Haha, Coach Yang's careful investigation is admirable!" Gao Kan clapped his hands in admiration after hearing this.
Seeing this, Yang Zhi also pretended to be surprised and asked, "What's the matter? Have you seen that great monk?"
Lin Chong stepped forward and said, "Commander Tang and I had a fierce fight with the great monk just now, and we ended up with a draw."
"That's it!" Yang Zhi said, and continued, "After we sneaked into the village and hid in the dark, we heard Jiang Jinghe and the great monk say that the leader of Dazhai took over the masters of the third village and the fourth village. Lord, the elite men and horses from Heshan Mountain and the bandits from Liangshan are going to rob the Jiangzhou law field to save someone."
"In the end, the man was rescued, but he did not return to the mountain gate. Instead, he caused an incident and made the people on the mountain bear the blame."
"That great monk is a rude and straightforward man. He scolded him for being ungrateful. It would have been better not to go up the mountain if he had scolded him like this."
Hearing this, Gao Kan looked thoughtful. After a moment, he turned to Tang Heng and said, "Commander Tang, go to the gate of the village and see if their leader is here. If he is, Haosheng will explain to him. He went out to talk, and I personally made peace with him."
"Young master, you can't. I want to persuade you to surrender and ask your subordinates to go to Bianke. Why do you take the risk?" Tang Henglian advised.
Gao Kan waved his hand and said calmly: "It doesn't matter. If they are really heroes, they will not disdain to use secret arrows. Since I am determined to persuade them to surrender, I have no doubt that he is the gentleman."
"Young Master is so bold and heroic that all my subordinates admire me!" Tang Heng exclaimed in admiration upon hearing this.
After saying the general's words, Tang Heng came to the front to persuade him to surrender and made his words clear.
Later, Gao Kan asked Yang Zhi in a low voice about the situation in the village.
Yang Zhi glanced at Tang Heng and then said, "The second master has already arranged all the matters in the village and is waiting for the young master to come."
"Okay, I will go over when the second master comes out later." Gao Kan nodded.
Tang Heng had tried to persuade him before, but he saw the gate of the village opened, and a crowd of people poured out from inside.
The first one was dressed as a scholar, and the great monk who had fought before followed behind.
When a group of people came out, Tang Heng felt nervous and secretly took precautions. He said calmly: "Who is the head of the family?"
"My Majesty, Jiang Jing, the village is in charge at this time." Jiang Jing answered with his hands raised and his eyes swept away.
"Excuse me, where is the young master?"
Tang Heng replied hurriedly: "Master Jiang, please wait a moment. I'll go ask the young master to come over."
Then he turned around and came back. Gao Kan saw him here and went up to meet him. The two met at a close distance.
Tang Heng followed Gao Kan closely and said in a low voice: "Young Master is an upright gentleman. He is not a junior. However, when my subordinates saw them leaving the stronghold in large numbers, I am afraid they might not be on guard if they are worried. Please follow me. If something happens, Good at protecting the young master."
"Commander Laotang." Gao Kan thanked him.
The two of them came to the front together. After they met, Gao Kan handed over his hand.
"Excuse me, is this the master of Huangmen Mountain's second village, the divine fortune teller Jiang Jing Jiang?"
Jiang Jing returned the salute and said: "You are just a villain. I met you for the first time and I don't know your name. Please forgive me."
"The courtesy of the second master is just that of a man in white. I have long heard that the second master is a son-in-law and has the ambition to serve the country. However, due to bad luck, he was framed by a villain. It is a pity that he fell into despair."
Gao Kan looked at Jiang Jing and continued: "The time has come this time. I hope that the second master will live up to the ambition of young Ling Yun, realize the ruthlessness of bandits, submit to Wang Hua, and follow the right path. If the second master is willing to abandon the dark side and turn to the light, I will I will serve as a guarantee so that all brothers can have a clear way out."
"Is what the young master said true?" Jiang Jing asked.
"I would like to use the head above my neck as a guarantee, and all the heroes present will witness it. If there is any violation, everyone can take the head below." Gaokan said without hesitation.
Jiang Jing hesitated, then turned to Lu Zhishen and asked, "What do you think, Master?"
"The Sa family doesn't care about the many things, they only hate that treacherous thief who asked all the brothers to die for them for no reason!"
Lu Zhishen cursed in a low voice.
Gao Kan's eyes flashed when he saw this, and he said: "The person Grand Master is talking about is Ou Peng and others who followed the Liangshan bandits to the Jiangzhou Tribulation Field?"
