C114 (1/2)
Seeing so many bandits present, Zhao Hu knew that the prefecture overseer usually did not bother with proper business and only wanted to extort the commoners.
”Honored masters, I, Hu, have called everyone here today. I presume that everyone knows the reason.” At this moment, the Great Master of Tianqing Mountain started to speak. His name was Hu Dehai, and he was originally the young master of the Hu Family Manor near Tianqing Mountain. Ever since he was twenty, he had been able to carry the cauldron, and because of this, all the people in the martial arts world called him the 'Cauldron Bearing Deity', Hu Dehai. Then, because of the drought in Zhengzhou, there was famine. However, Zhengzhou Manor did not care about the lives and deaths of the people. They still levied exorbitant taxes on them, forcing the master of the Hu manor, Hu Dehai's father, to his death. After killing him, they set fire to his residence. Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was fighting a fire, he opened the granary, and distributed the food in the two granaries of the State of Zhengzhou, then brought his men to Tianshan to rob the grass. In just a few short years, he had expanded the number of people to four or five hundred, which could be considered as a first-rate power in the surrounding area.
”Boss Hu, please speak frankly. When are we going into the city?” Under the stage, there were already some who couldn't hold back their impatience and spoke to Hu Dehai.
Hu Dehai smiled and ignored him, ”Yesterday, I heard that someone was going to attack Zhengzhou City, but after some investigation, the person who said that is not from our Zhengzhou city. It seemed that someone was secretly up to no good. He originally thought that Hu Dehai was a boor, but now, it seems that he was wrong. He was able to guess with absolute accuracy that there was something wrong with the information sent to him by the people around him. This meant that this person was not a boor, but someone with brains.
”Manager Hu, what do you mean? We were caught (undercover)? ” A village chief asked.
Hu Dehai shook his head and said, ”The situation is still unclear, but …”
Hu Dehai said, he looked around at the people, and suddenly raised his voice and said, ”However, it's really like what that person said, I wonder why most of the soldiers in Zhengzhou went to encircle and annihilate the Peach Blossom Mountain. This is our chance now. Tomorrow morning, we will send some people to the city, and when it is evening, we will work together and open the gates to the city. When that time comes, all the treasures in the city will belong to us! ”
Zhao Hu nodded. This was indeed a good opportunity, and Hu Dehai had also chosen the best strategy. As long as someone was in the city, he or she would be able to minimize the damage during the siege.
When everyone heard this, they gave Hu Dehai a big thumbs up.
”As expected of Great Master Hu. I'm convinced by this attention!”
”To the Hu Clan Head's brilliant plan!”
At the suggestion of someone, everyone raised the big bowl in their hands and gulped down the wine in it.
Zhao Hu probed for a while and was secretly surprised. The number of bandits and bandits that came to the Alliance this time was actually more than three thousand people. After the banquet, everyone was almost done drinking. Zhao Hu took the opportunity to leave Tianqing Mountain with a few people, reporting the situation to Luo Lingwei.
”What?” After Luo Lingwei and the others heard what Zhao Hu said, they were extremely surprised. They had thought that these rumors would only lead to the prefecture overseer trying to force the soldiers to come back to their aid. However, they had never thought that they would attract bandits, and that there would be so many of them. If the city of Zhengzhou were to fall, it would be instantly destroyed by these bandits.
At this moment, everyone looked at the person who had come up with this rotten idea. It was the spy who had told them that Ye Lianhe was surrounded.
”What are you all looking at me for? Wouldn't that be better? The bandits had really come. By then, even if the soldiers didn't want to go back, they would have to go back. At that time, wouldn't the prince's crisis have been resolved? ” The spy said to everyone with a nonchalant expression.
”You!” Zhao Wei stepped forward and grabbed his collar.
