The next morning,
With Yang Ming's authorization, Xiao Cuixiong proudly led a group of surrendered Heimuzhai minions to meet Zhong Kai at the agreed location and began to take over Heimuzhai.
The accompanying people included Sun Simiao and Elder Liu from Baihu Village. Yang Ming used the excuse of making a waterwheel to persuade Lin Bingyan to send the prudent Elder Liu to give guidance.
Poor Ergouzi missed seeing Xiaocui's transformation and growth. He followed Yang Ming hard and did worthless hard work.
"Sister Xiaocui, Heimuzhai has been in operation for decades. It is built on a mountain. There are hundreds of people in the village. If we attack directly from the front, the gate of the village will not be easy to break through!"
Luo Tieniu, a fanatical follower of Yang Ming and the newly appointed team leader, walked quickly towards Xiaocui and asked respectfully.
"And the person responsible for guarding the gate of the village is Zhong Kai, who is also a strong general. If he closes the door and refuses to fight, we will return without success, and then the young master will not be happy."
Yang Ming selected four team leaders from 200 prisoners. After using big sticks and red dates to control the bandits, they were handed over to Xiaocui's command.
Along the way, Xiaocui was very proud of herself. Following Yang Ming, she could also experience the atmosphere of leading troops to fight. It felt really good.
In fact, Yang Ming was too lazy to run around to take care of these small things, so he asked Xiaocui and the others to come forward.
Heimuzhai has long been on Yang Ming's mind. Not only were they forced to flee for their lives in the early stages, but they also robbed homes and houses, which triggered Yang Ming's resentment.
Before Xiaocui set off, Yang Ming even asked Ergouzi to prepare Yangjiabao's pear wood sign, and was waiting for Xiaocui and Zhong Kai to clean it up and wait for it to be re-listed for business.
With Yang Ming's delegation of power, Xiao Cui also imitated Lin Bingyan's behavior and every move, and with Elder Liu sitting next to him, she responded fiercely:
"Little Tieniu, do more and talk less. Everything is under the control of the young master. You only need to follow the young master's arrangements and find a place suitable for alchemy."
"The rest of the team leaders, you all perform your duties. Whether you can perform well depends on your attitude next. In addition to not bullying ordinary people, you can do whatever you want!"
"Yes! Sister Xiaocui!"
In order to cooperate internally and externally to capture Heimu Village, Zhong Kai took advantage of Scarface's sneak attack on Baihu Village and led his men to quietly eliminate some of the more influential small bosses in the village.
After working hard all night, and after confirming that all safety hazards had been cleared, Zhong Kai struck while the iron was hot and led his brothers to pick up the guy and occupy the village gate.
"Brother, there is movement down the mountain. It seems like Scarface and the others are back!"
A big-headed soldier pointed at Xiaocui's group of people coming from the bottom of the mountain, and said to Zhong Kai in confusion:
"Brother! Something is wrong. They are no longer noisy when going up the mountain this time, and their marching speed is very different from usual. It's like they are coming directly to the village gate!"
Zhong Kai rubbed his eyes and stretched. In his opinion, bandits are bandits, they are all a bunch of rabble, there is no difference.
Besides, all the thorns in the village have been pulled out, and the granary is guarded. All he needs to do is guard the gate of the village and wait for the arrival of Yang Ming and others. Nothing will happen!
My waist is a little sore!
A few days ago, Zhong Kai took Sun Simiao's Soul-calming Pill, coaxed his wife to take it, and told Yang Ming and others that they were willing to help kill Wang Shen, the governor of Yanzhou.
The humiliation and revenge of killing the son can be avenged, and the wife's fighting spirit to live is rekindled. With the blessing of Sun Simiao's elixir, his body recovered quickly.
Last night, Zhong Kai, who had been waiting for a long time, seemed to have regained his former vitality. He took a big knife and a group of men and prepared to go out for a big fight.
His wife stopped him, and the couple looked at each other. From his loving eyes, Zhong Kai was very happy. His wife finally came out of the haze.
But the brothers under his command were very depressed. The originally exciting atmosphere had changed its tone, and a group of people had to wait for an extra stick of incense in the outer courtyard.
And relived the joy of fish and water!
"Uh! It's really different!"
Zhong Kai poked his head out and saw the bandits led by Xiao Cui approaching the village gate in four neat square formations. He was also shocked and quickly asked his men to prepare for a defensive counterattack.
"Cheer up and meet Scarface. No matter what happens later, without my order, anyone who shrinks from battle will die! Anyone who dares to open the gate of the village will die!"
Before meeting Yang Ming, Zhong Kai secretly recruited troops in the stronghold, planning to seize Heimuzhai as a stronghold. After stabilizing the foundation, he could one day take revenge.
This time to rebel against Scarface, in addition to the original veterans, there are also dozens of minions at hand.
It was because they were worried that these bandits would always be under Scarface's rule and they had a bone-deep, lingering fear of Scarface that they used military orders to calm people's hearts.
I hope Yang Ming can arrive in time, otherwise Scarface will ascend to the top and shout, and the remaining bandits in the village may still attack the village gate from both inside and outside under Scarface's command.
As time passed, it was not until Sun Simiao's face appeared in front of his eyes that Zhong Kai felt relieved. After giving the order to open the village gate to welcome Sun Simiao, Zhong Kai felt that his back was already soaked.
I have to admire Wang Shen, this rebel who has soldiers and self-respect, and how strong his psychological quality is.
