A few days ago, in order to attack Dahu Village, Song Dalei secretly moved Long'an Dazhai to Laoye Mountain, which is only more than a hundred miles away from Dahu Mountain. He only wanted to make it easier to attack Tiger Village, but he did not expect that it would also be convenient for his opponents to attack him.

Song Dalei's original plan was to capture Laohu Village with the help of Hu Yicheng, and then kill Hu Yicheng. He would then occupy Leng Hongxing and become the largest mountaintop nearby.

Under Tang Jiusheng's arrangement, things went unexpectedly smoothly. Song Dalei, the leader of Long'an Village, had no idea that he would fall into the trap set by others. He stupidly led 700 brothers into Tang Jiusheng's pocket and was chopped into pieces himself.

The brothers were leaderless, most of them surrendered, and the few who resisted were beheaded.

On the Laoye Mountain side, a fire broke out in Long'an Dazhai. The minions fell into the trap and went out to put out the fire. Unexpectedly, there was a smart and capable little leader Lin Changhao who felt something was wrong. He personally led fifty elite minions to guard the gate of the village. Lin Changhao

He only focused on guarding the outside of the village gate, but he didn't expect that Yu Long Xingkong and Su Qiuman suddenly appeared from behind and captured him alive.

The gate of the village opened, and two hundred people from outside, led by Ding Dali and Fatty, rushed into the village. The village was in chaos. The minions knelt down and begged for mercy. Those who resisted were all killed. Ding Dali and Yulong

In the blink of an eye, the fat man and his men plundered all the valuable and useful items in the village, pulled a dozen carriages and headed towards Dahu Village.

After returning to Dahu Village, Yu Long Xingkong introduced Lin Changhao to Tang Jiusheng and Ling Hongchu, who was still able to calmly guard the gate of the village even after the fire broke out in the village. He also praised him greatly. After hearing this, Tang Jiusheng was overjoyed and asked people to take Lin Changhao to the village.

He was escorted up, untied himself, and asked: "Lin Changhao, the leader of your village, Song Dalei, has been killed. Most of the brothers in Long'an Village have surrendered and have been recruited into the army. Are you willing to surrender?"

Lin Changhao smiled bitterly and said: "Good birds choose trees to roost, and good ministers choose their masters. I went to Long'an Village just to survive in troubled times and have food to eat. I led my people to guard the gate of the village for nothing more."

It's just my duty. Now that the leader of the village has been killed and everyone has surrendered and become an official army, how can I not surrender?"

Tang Jiusheng said with a smile: "Okay, practice your martial arts well. After the village is reorganized into the Tiger Camp, there is an urgent need for management talents. You will be an acting deputy lieutenant first. After a period of stability, I will promote you to the deputy lieutenant of the Tiger Camp or something else."

Appointment." Tang Jiusheng turned around and smiled at Ling Hongchu: "Captain Ling, I will kill him first and then report him, and I will give you a right-hand man. It is the right time for Shanzhai to employ people, so you don't have to thank me!"

Ling Hongchu laughed loudly, shook his head and joked: "This Mr. Tang is so funny. You accept people first, and then tell me to kill them first and then show them off. Do I dare not to use it? You are obviously bullying people with your thick arms!" Everyone was shocked!

laugh it out.

Ling Hongchu dispersed all the people from Long'an Village and mixed them with the people from Laohu Village. They registered the names and made a list. Those who were willing to stay were kept, and those who were not willing to wait for a few days. After a few days, they were stripped of their bodies as criminals, and they were given some silver and sent back.

At home, everyone is happy for a while.

After initially settling things in the village, Tang Jiusheng asked about Ling Hongchu again.

When I went to Guyuan County a few days ago, it turned out that there was also a group of strongmen in Guyuan County. They gathered four to five hundred people and occupied Jiulong Ridge. The local officers and soldiers encircled and suppressed them several times. Although they were unsuccessful, this group of people was clearly visible in Jiulong Ridge.

Some of them couldn't survive, so they wanted to come to Dahu Village to join a group, but they were afraid of being cheated, so they sent people to negotiate.

In order to develop the village, Ling Hongchu disguised himself as a Taoist priest and went down to Jiulongling in Guyuan County to talk for a few days. He said that he would definitely give Niu Hanliang a golden seat in order to appease the heart of Niu Hanliang, the owner of the village in Jiulongling. Hu Yicheng heard that

When Niu Hanliang came and wanted to replace him in the third position in Dahu Village, he was furious, so he colluded with Song Dalei to rebel. If you don't let me take the third position, then I will take the first position!

As a result, the plot was not kept secret, and Hu Yicheng was killed instead, causing Song Dalei to move his head. This time, the people of Dahu Village and Long'an Village were recruited, far beyond Ling Hongchu's expectation, and he also became a military commander. He was so grateful to Tang Jiusheng

Tang Jiusheng prepared his unicorn horse and rode the same horse with Ling Hongchu. They rushed to Jiulong Ridge overnight.

Niu Hanliang was surprised and happy. After weighing the pros and cons, he resolutely led the Jiulongling troops to surrender. Tang Jiusheng went to Guyuan County with the gold medal given by the emperor to greet the governor's house and opened the way. These hundreds of troops also set off for the road.

Tiger Village. In Dahu Village, after the adjustment of the troops in the three mountain villages, excluding the old, weak, sick, and those who were willing to return home, a total of more than 2,500 people remained. They were divided into five teams and all were organized into the Tiger Camp.

Tang Jiu Sheng was overjoyed. This unexpected surprise made him so excited. If he could recruit and surrender all the cottages at this speed, even tens of thousands of troops would not be a problem. Tang Jiu Sheng temporarily left Yu Long Xingkong to assist Ling Hongchu until the cottages were initially stabilized.

After that, Yulong Xingkong rushed to catch up with Tang Jiusheng and others. Anyway, Yulong Xingkong had fast feet, so catching up with them was not a problem at all.

Shui Ruyue tried hard to persuade Tang Jiusheng to take Leng Hongxing as his concubine, but Tang Jiusheng still refused. However, he gave Leng Hongxing a "status" and became Tang Jiusheng's guard captain. She could follow Tang Jiusheng every day, and naturally she would not suffer from lovesickness.

.Actually, Tang Jiusheng had a deeper meaning. He wanted to take the opportunity to slowly wear away Leng Hongxing's feelings for him, and it would not be too late to introduce another suitable brother to her in the future.

Leng Hongxing was very happy. Anyway, she had the opportunity to be by Tang Jiusheng's side every day, so just wait until he slowly changes his mind. Even if you are a stone, I will melt you. The two of them have their own concerns.

A few days ago, Tang Jiusheng took great pains to arrange for Yulong Xingkong and Su Qiuman to go to Long'an Village to set fire together, just to give him a chance to get along alone. The two of them killed and set fire together, and they cooperated very happily. Yulong Xingkong

He also gradually developed a secret feeling for Su Qiuman, but he couldn't open his mouth. Tang Jiusheng asked him privately, Yulong Xingkong lowered his head and said nothing, Tang Jiusheng laughed, then I will agree to the marriage on your behalf? Yulong Xingkong nodded shyly.

After staying in the cottage for another three days, Tang Jiuzheng and others packed their bags and returned to the Su family in Crouching Tiger Village, leaving only Yu Long Xingkong to assist Ling Hongchu in the cottage. On the way, Shui Ruyue and

Ximen Yushuang continued to enlighten Song Yulan, and then Song Yulan reluctantly agreed to the fat man marrying Su Yiwen. When the fat man learned the news, he had snot bubbles in his nose.

Before everyone could enter Crouching Tiger Villa, Su Qingtong, who had received the report, had already personally greeted him outside the village, but Yu Long Xingkong was missing in the crowd. Su Qingtong was thinking about his daughter's marriage, and hurriedly inquired about it in detail, only to find out that Yu Long Xingkong had stayed there.

After assisting Ling Hongchu in Dahu Village, Tang Jiusheng proposed marriage to Yu Long Xingkong as his senior brother, and proposed to Fatty as his eldest brother. Su Qingtong was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.

Tang Jiu Sheng originally planned to lead everyone to set off the next day and continue to Yong'an, but Su Qingtong did not agree to it and insisted on keeping Tang Jiu Sheng and others for a few more days. It was too kind to refuse, so Tang Jiu Sheng had no choice but to stay for three more days.

, Su Qingtong entertained her with good wine and delicious food every day, and was extremely attentive. Fortunately, Tang Jiusheng stayed for three more days.

On the morning of the fourth day, Tang Jiusheng had just gotten up and was practicing his sword skills in the courtyard. Leng Hongxing ran in in a panic outside. Before he entered the yard, he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Master Tang, Master Tang, go and help, the whole village is in danger."

I was surrounded by officers and soldiers, and I heard that an imperial envoy from Yong'an was calling at the gate of the village, saying that they were ordered to capture my uncle!"

Tang Jiusheng put away the Minglong Sword and said calmly: "Don't be impatient, take a breath and speak slowly, what happened? Tell me clearly, who wants to kill your uncle?" As he spoke, Leng Hongxing led him

Go to the living room in the front yard.

Leng Hongxing gasped and said: "The local captain Zheng Chaoming led more than 2,000 officers and soldiers to surround Zhuangzi. He said that there was an imperial envoy from Yong'an who was ordered to capture the imperial criminal Su Qingtong!"

Tang Jiusheng frowned, "Then they didn't say why they came to arrest your uncle?"

Leng Hongxing shook her head and said: "No, now Zhuang Ding is confronting the officers and soldiers at the suspension bridge. However, the officers and soldiers are too powerful and Crouching Tiger Village will definitely not be able to hold it back. My uncle has also rushed to the suspension bridge. Mr. Tang, except for you, no one else can do this.

People can be saved!"

Tang Jiusheng touched the imperial gold medal in his arms and sighed, "Come on, follow me to the suspension bridge to meet the imperial envoy from the imperial court." The two of them ran out of the yard and went straight to the suspension bridge at the entrance of the village.

I saw more than two thousand soldiers outside the village surrounding Crouching Tiger Village. The leader was a civil servant wearing a gauze hat, followed by a man who looked like a school captain. Su Qingtong was standing on the crenel of the wall, talking to the school captain. Tang Jiusheng

After saying hello to Su Qingtong, he asked someone to lower the suspension bridge, and asked the imperial envoy and the captain to bring hundreds of people into the village to read out the imperial edict.

The imperial envoy and the captain did not dare to come in at first, fearing that there would be an ambush in the village. Tang Jiusheng said loudly: "I am Tang Jiusheng, the son of the protector of the country, Tang Fulong. I can guarantee your personal safety, and there is no ambush in the village."

The imperial envoy wearing a gauze hat asked: "Young master, what can I prove?" Tang Jiusheng held up the gold medal given by the emperor high and said, "Take the gold medal bestowed by the Tang family as proof!" When the imperial envoy saw the gold medal, he put his heart back in his stomach.
Chapter completed!
