Chapter 127 A Tiger in the Heart! Wake Up!

When Qiu Fu glanced at him.

Zhu Di knew what the other party was up to.

It was nothing more than using Tuqiao Village as bait.

Absolutely not!

Call him cold-blooded or selfish!

He would never gamble the lives of all the villagers to save another group of people.

The other party was a bandit, all riding horses.

If he was not careful, the 47 people who came out might all be killed.

By then, every family would be hung with white silk, and every family would be orphans and widows?

He was not so selfless!

"Here!"

He responded and walked quickly to Qiu Fu's horse. Without waiting for Qiu Fu to speak, he immediately objected seriously: "Qiu Qianhu, I know what you want to do, but I refuse!"

Qiu Fu's face turned black in an instant.

He raised his hand and whipped.

When he whipped Zhu Di, he twisted his wrist, snapped, and the sonic boom of the empty whip sounded on Zhu Di's right.

Crash!

The villagers surrounded him in an instant, staring at Qiu Fu angrily.

Zhu Di did not give in and looked directly at Qiu Fu.

Zhu Neng looked at his uncle and the others, and his face changed.

Qiu Fu's eyes flashed with fear. He feared Zhu Silang, not the villagers.

Pretending to be strong, he sneered, "Zhu Silang, you have to think clearly about the consequences of not following orders."

"I have a guard, and I can find an excuse to let your fellow villagers stay here forever!"

"This gang of bandits must have a lot of looted goods. As long as you are willing to be the bait, I can promise that after the matter is done, your village can get 10%!"

"Are you going to take a gamble, or force me to do it."

The coldness on Zhu Di's face gradually faded, "We want to get 20% of the goods!"

"Impossible!" Zhu Neng was so angry that he laughed, "You 47 people get 10%, and we, a whole guard, get the remaining 90%."

"This distribution is barely acceptable to the brothers."

"Okay, I agree." Zhu Di did not hesitate, because he suddenly realized.

If Tuqiao Village gets too much and the soldiers get too little, they will inevitably resent Tuqiao Village.

After leaving the border, if they encounter danger, the other party may not be willing to rescue them sincerely.

"However, we want ten horses!" Zhu Di immediately put forward a new request, "This group of horse bandits has horses, we don't want good horses, just pick ten of the worst inferior horses."

'Emperor's old family, do you have such a big appetite? '

Qiu Fu's lips twitched, and he was so angry that he secretly complained. He glared at Zhu Di and said unhappily: "Okay! I promise you!"

After the decision.

Zhu Di, Qiu Fu, and Zhu Neng rushed to the village entrance together.

This village is called Liujia Village.

All the people in the village are surnamed Liu.

The three of them quickly agreed with the patriarch of Liujia Village.

The sedan chair followed the Tuqiao Village team on the road.

The bandits did not agree on where to send Miss Liu to Liujia Village.

They just asked Liujia Village to carry the sedan chair and go north along the official road.

From this point, we can see that this group of bandits is very cunning and cautious.

They are afraid that Liujia Village will ask the government to set up an ambush.

They will only take action and rob people after they are sure it is safe!

The Tuqiao Village convoy and the sedan chair go together, which is to bet that this group of bandits are not afraid, but also greedy for the food and grass they transport.

As for whether it can succeed, it all depends on God's will.

Before departure.

Liu Zuchang, the patriarch of Liujia Village, the father of the married woman, solemnly toasted Zhu Di and others.

"All the warriors of Jiangning County, whether this matter succeeds or not, Tuqiao Village is the benefactor of my Liujia Village! The two villages have been friendly for generations! If Tuqiao Village needs Liujia Village in the future, Liujia Village will definitely repay it with a favor!"

After speaking, Liu Zuchang drank it all.

He threw the bowl on the ground, lifted his robe, and knelt down to the people of Tuqiao Village.

Others in Liujia Village also knelt down.

Although the Sixth Uncle and the others were afraid, they were very moved. They drank the wine in one gulp and went to help the people of Liujia Village.

Zhu Di and the Eighth Uncle drank the wine indifferently.

Neither of them was the kind of person who was easily infected by emotions.

Only after getting along for a long time can they be touched.

This is related to the experience of the two.

…

Watching the Tuqiao Village convoy and the empty sedan chair driving away from the village along the official road.

Zhu Neng smiled and gave a thumbs up, "Don't look at Zhu Silang who is very friendly on weekdays, but in his bones, he is very proud, but you, the thousand households..."

"Do you really think that I made Zhu Silang surrender?" Qiu Fu interrupted Zhu Neng with a wry smile, "I really plan to whip Zhu Silang!"

"Just as I was whipping him, a fleeting look of man-eating expression in Zhu Silang's eyes made me retreat."

"It seems that there is a man-eating beast dormant in Zhu Silang's body!"

Zhu Neng looked at Qiu Fu in amazement.

Qiu Fu smiled bitterly and nodded: "It's true, I didn't lie to you. At that time, I clearly felt that if I was a breath later, Zhu Silang would take action!"

"And it is very likely that I would die!"

"I have never seen Zhu Silang take action, and I don't know his strength, but you know, we soldiers often have accurate feelings!"

"Fortunately, Zhu Silang finally understood my good intentions, and the feud did not end."

Good intentions?

Zhu Neng looked at Qiu Fu suspiciously.

Qiu Fu smiled and explained: "Why do they integrate training into their daily routine?"

Zhu Neng suddenly realized.

All the training in Tuqiao Village is to save lives after leaving the pass.

The bandits inside the pass are incomparable to those outside the pass.

It is better to train and adapt with a group of bandits inside the pass than to adapt after leaving the pass.

"No wonder, later on, the layer of frost on Zhu Silang's face faded away." Zhu Neng said with a smile: "I still have some understanding of Zhu Silang after being in contact with him for more than 20 days."

"Now that he understands Qianhu's good intentions, he won't hold a grudge."

"I won't go snitching in front of Duke Cao."

Qiu Fu shook his head: "I'm not afraid of him snitching. Of course, I also have my own little thoughts."

"I would like to take this opportunity to test the effectiveness of marking training in Tuqiao Village."

"If they can stand the test this time, we will fully implement it in the military."

As he said that, he turned to look at Zhu Neng and Tan Yuan, "Old Zhu, you take your brothers and follow them thirty miles away."

"Tan Yuan, you and I go into the village, change into a set of ordinary clothes, and follow Tuqiao Village. I want to see for myself the results of their training!"

…

On the official road.

Zhu Di sat on the shaft of the carriage, lost in thought.

Zhou Lang observed several times and finally couldn't help but said, "Mr. Zhu, if you have something on your mind, you can tell me. I may not be able to help, but it will be easier if you tell me."

His thoughts were interrupted and Zhu Di came back to his senses.

I couldn't help but laugh.

He was thinking about how much he had changed in the past year of peace and quiet.

Military acumen became dull and dormant.

Emotions can actually influence thinking and decision-making.

He wasn't like this before.

Take this incident as an example.

Because of his feelings for the villagers, when he discovered Qiu Fu's plan, he was immediately swayed by his emotions and made a decision to directly refuse.

The whip that Qiu Fu was going to give him instantly awakened the coldness and ruthlessness dormant in his body.

It was at this time that rational decision-making ability revived.

‘Qiu Fu, Qiu Fu, I won’t keep a small account for you this time. Although you have small thoughts and want to test the results of our marking training in Tuqiao Village, you also have good intentions. ’

Zhu Di ventriloquised and smiled, taking off the three-stone bow he was carrying.

Zhizhizhi...

Amidst the sound of the bowstring being tightened, the three-stone hard bow was manipulated like a full moon.

‘After passing Shandong, we are getting closer and closer to leaving the customs. The folks need this experience, and I also need to get back to my previous state. ’

Now, he especially hopes that these thieves will not be cowardly!

Snapped!

He let go suddenly and the bowstring rebounded.

Zhu Di turned his head and looked behind him. The sedan was just an empty sedan. There were eight sedan bearers, and the four walking behind were good guards from Qiu Fu.

Zhang Wu is among them.

Compared to the other three soldiers, Zhang Wu volunteered to follow.

He looked back and said with a smile: "Zhou Lang, help me drive the car. I have something I need to tell Uncle Eight and his friends."

"Mr. Zhu, please be busy." Zhou Lang said with a smile.

Watching Zhu Di jump, like an antelope hanging its horns, falling from the shaft of the car to the ground, and walking forward quickly.

He frowned and murmured: "Why do I feel that something is different about Mr. Zhu?"

…

Zhu Di gave instructions one by one from behind.

Finally catching up with Uncle Eighth and sitting on the other side of the car, Zhu Di smiled and asked, "Uncle Eighth, can you understand why I agreed?"

Uncle Eighth turned his head and grinned under the starlight, "At first, Uncle Eighth thought you were just because of the wealth and ten horses, and then you figured it out on the way. You wanted to use this group of horse bandits to make Fourth and others adapt in advance. "

"The riding skills of the thieves inside the pass, even if they are old bandits, are not as good as those outside the pass."

Zhu Di smiled, patted the ordnance on Uncle Eighth's car, and warned: "Uncle Eighth, please quietly open a few bundles of ordnance."

Uncle Eighth's eyes widened in shock.

Zhu Di smiled and said: "What are you afraid of? Just wipe it after use and put it back again. Is it possible that we are really waiting to be killed by horse bandits with our bare hands?"

It stands to reason that the ordnance transported under escort is never allowed to be used privately.

There is a seal on each bundle.

Uncle Eight nodded solemnly.

Zhu Di continued to explain, "When I heard the sound of horse hooves, Uncle Eight, you are in front and I am behind. I immediately commanded the villagers to close the car formation according to what they have been practicing these days."

"I have already told the others that after closing, I will come to you to collect the weapons as soon as possible."

…

After taking note of it carefully, Uncle Eighth nodded and said, "Okay, Uncle Eighth has remembered it."

"Shiro, don't worry about it. Life and death are determined by fate and wealth. You have done a good job."

"Boy, even if something happens, no one will blame you."

Zhu Di smiled and jumped out of the carriage.

…

Just treat Zhu Di and others as bait.

Hundreds of miles behind them, Zhu Ping and his wife, who traveled north to Peiping, stayed in the county government office of a small county.

After Zhu Xi washed his feet, he couldn't wait to jump on the bed, hugged Guanyin Nu, and kissed her hard. Then he was satisfied and entered the sage state. He said with emotion: "Lao Si and the others passed here two days ago. They should meet each other soon." It’s their turn.”

"I don't know what kind of torture he got into by sleeping in the open air."

Guanyin slave said hurriedly: "Can we help a bunch of fourth brothers? I don't even know how to repay Miaoyun."

"cannot."

Zhu Fang shook his head helplessly, "We can't speak even after meeting him. If the fourth brother's identity is exposed, my father will definitely ask the fourth brother to move away from Tuqiao Village."

Guanyin slave stopped talking.

Miaoyun and the others have already integrated into Tuqiao Village. If they change places, they will have to integrate again.

Her experience made her very aware of how difficult it is to integrate into a new and unfamiliar environment.

…

royal palace.

In the imperial study, the lights were bright, the candles were burning, and there was a crackling sound from time to time.

Mao Xiang, who was hurriedly summoned to the palace, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who was reviewing the memorials. He wanted to ask several times, but was afraid of disturbing Zhu Yuanzhang's train of thought.

At a certain moment, Zhu Yuanzhang asked casually without raising his head: "I haven't received any news from Qiu Fu and others for several days. Where are they now?"

Mao Xiang tried his best to hold back his laughter.

He was summoned to the palace late at night just to ask about Qiu Fu's guards?

The emperor was dying to save face and suffering in life!

He still needed the sympathy of a minister!

"Your Majesty, the latest news was two days ago. Two days ago, they were very close to Shandong."

"They should be in Shandong now."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly and raised his head. "In recent years, Shandong has frequently reported that the bandits in Shandong are relatively active, and requested the court to allocate silver to suppress the bandits. What is the situation now?"

This is it! I am still worried about His Highness!

Mao Xiang secretly laughed and replied: "Your Majesty, you should know that there are always inextricable connections between bandits and local tyrants."

"In recent years, there have been some results in recruiting rebels, but the bandits in Shandong, Hebei, Henan and other places are still relatively active."

"The Jinyiwei wanted to intervene, but the court and local civil officials tried their best to exclude them..."

Noticed that Zhu Yuanzhang frowned even more.

Mao Xiang hurriedly said: "But I think that with Zhu Silang's military power, a small bandit can't do anything to him."

"We didn't ask him! Whether he is dead or alive, it has nothing to do with us!"

Mao Xiang hurriedly lowered his head and tried to hold back his laughter.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand: "You go down."

"Yes!"

Mao Xiang took the order and came out of the imperial study. He couldn't help grinning anymore.

His face turned cold as he smiled. He walked out of the palace quickly, muttering to himself coldly: "These useless people in the strongholds along the way should be thoroughly rectified!"

"It's been two days, and there is no new news. The good life provided by the Jinyiwei makes them live too comfortably!"

All the local strongholds of the Jinyiwei are either engaged in business, farming and reading, or opening brothels... In short, they can enjoy the convenience and privileges provided to them by the Zhenfusi Yamen.
