The Golden Age Chapter 911: Same bed with different dreams

There was a silence in the Juyi Hall, and laughter suddenly started. When everyone looked over, it was the master Zhou Hongji who looked up and laughed.

"Qin Xiao is really cunning and cunning, no wonder he will be valued by the emperor." Zhou Hongji smiled and said, "Do you really think that sentence was Qin Xiao saying casually? This is intentional, just want to let him. Song Lun passed this sentence to our ears for the simple purpose of arousing suspicion between our brothers."

"Big Brother is right." Shen Xuangan said immediately: "This kid is not very young, but his scheming is very deep."

Zhou Hongji smiled and said: "Although this battle was defeated, many brothers have come back. This is a blessing in misfortune." Then he put away his smile and said: "No matter what Qin Xiao's plan is, from today onwards, strengthen the defense of the cottage. At twelve hours a day, people must be sent to patrol the mountain. Also, in the dark, there is a curfew, except for the patrolling brothers, other people are not allowed to walk around the mountain at will, if they violate it, they will be captured immediately."

A few people said yes.

"Montenegro has natural dangers to guard. As long as we guard the main road, even if the officers and soldiers come, we will be sighed." Zhou Hongji said: "Several brothers have worked hard recently. Strengthen the defense and find out where the fortifications need to be reinforced. , To deal with the officers and soldiers to kill at any time." Sitting on the chair with a tired look, waved: "Everyone, let me take a break."

Everyone got up and retreated. Before leaving, Zhou Hongji winked at Du Zitong, Du Zitong understood.

When everyone left, Zhou Hongji got up and returned to the back hall. After a while, he saw Du Zitong leading Song Lun in through the side door. Zhou Hongji signaled Song Lun to close the door, and then said: "Can they see?"

"Brother don't worry, we made a circle before coming over." Du Zitong approached: "Big brother can see who is the inner ghost?"

Zhou Hongji stared at Song Lun and said, "Did you miss what Qin Xiao said?"

"Don't miss a word." Song Lun hurriedly said: "The little one keeps it in his heart."

Du Zitong questioned: "Brother, didn't you say that was Qin Xiao's trick?"

"It's not that simple." Zhou Hongji shook his head and sneered: "If I don't say that, the inner ghost will be more alert." Looking at Song Lun, he asked: "Before sending troops, the four masters will inform you of the plan. You can tell Passed someone else?"

Song Lun hurriedly knelt down, shook his head and said: "The young one can swear to the sky, and he didn't reveal a word like others."

"Didn't tell the second master?" Zhou Hongji had a pressing look.

Song Lun said immediately: "The little one has never seen the face of the second master."

Du Zitong also said coldly: "Song Lun, the matter is very important. If you deceive, Lao Tzu will cut your head with a single knife."

"Four masters, the dispatch of troops is extraordinary. You told when you were young that you never told other people. Even if you are young, you dare not say a word." Song Lun raised his hand: "If there is any deception, the heaven will die!"

Zhou Hongji nodded slightly, and Du Zitong whispered: "Brother, who is the inner ghost?"

Zhou Hongji did not speak, but waved his hand to signal Song Lun to retreat first. Song Lun got up and bowed back.

"You almost died there. Naturally, it is impossible to collude with Qin Xiao." Zhou Hongji waited for Song Lun to leave before he whispered softly: "You are betraying the cottage, it will not do you any good, so you are definitely not a ghost."

Du Zitong was relieved and hurriedly said: "Big brother is wise. I am loyal to him and will never...!"

"Yuan Bao will never betray me." Zhou Hongji interrupted Du Zitong and said with certainty: "So after knowing that there may be ghosts in the mountains, I suspected two of them!"

"The second and third child?"

Zhou Hongji nodded and said: "Yes. At the beginning, I actually suspected that the third child was making a ghost behind his back. He kept saying in my ears that the second child was not, and it made me suspect that the second child was a gangster, the more so. , The greater his suspicion."

"The third child has the most thoughts, if he colludes with officers and soldiers,

Not impossible. "Du Zitong clenched his fist.

Zhou Hongji smiled coldly and said: "Today I will test my second child. If the second child did not make a mistake, then the third child must have colluded with the officers and soldiers. It is a pity that Xuanyuanchong has revealed a flaw after all!"

"The flaw?" Du Zitong was taken aback, immediately understood the meaning, lost his voice: "The second child is a ghost?"

Zhou Hongji gazes coldly and whispered softly: "I offered to let him take over for me as the top spot, but he was very cautious and flatly refused. My suspicion of him had been reduced, so he asked him to find a way to rescue the captured brother. After all, so many brothers have fallen into Qin Xiao’s hands. If they don’t listen to them and people’s hearts are not satisfied, their family members will inevitably have trouble. I knew that it would be idiotic to rescue so many brothers from the officers and soldiers, so this thing was lost. Let Xuanyuan rush to take care of it, as long as he is next, when the family members get upset and find him to have someone." Looking at Du Zitong, he lightly sighed: "In fact, it is also for you to relieve the siege."

"The eldest brother's care is unforgettable for the younger brother."

"But what I didn't expect was that Xuanyuanchong actually offered to go to see Qin Xiao and negotiate with Qin Xiao." Zhou Hongji's eyes became severe, and he sneered: "We just fought Long Ruijun. , He dared to run to see Qin Xiao, don’t you think it’s weird?"

Du Zitong immediately said: "There is only one possibility, that is, he knows that he will definitely not die there."

"If he says that he is righteous, he is reluctant to go to rescue his brother regardless of life and death. After all, the arrested brothers are not from the Huangtu Village, they are all brothers from other villages. It is really unreasonable for him to be so desperate. "Zhou Hongji said slowly: "But if it's only like this, it's fine. After all, these brothers rushed around with him. He was righteous and saved people regardless of life and death. It is not impossible."

Du Zitong moved his lips, but after all he did not speak.

"But he told me that if Qin Xiao releases people, he will definitely put forward harsh conditions." Zhou Hongji laughed mockingly, and said: "It is this sentence that finally exposed his flaws."

Du Zi rolled his eyes, as if he understood something, he whispered: "Brother, he colluded with the officers and soldiers and let us go back in a big defeat. He also guessed that many brothers must be captured. In this way, those brothers will become Long Ruijun offered us various bargaining chips." He clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and said: "Very sinister intentions!" Then he thought of something, wondering: "No, brother, Song Lun and the others were let go. Back, Long Ruijun has no chips in his hands."

"Don't worry first." Zhou Hongji raised his hand to stop and said: "The most important flaw is that he asks us to accept the imperial court."

"Zhaoan?" Du Zitong sneered: "This has always been his mind. He has always said that the Liaodong Army is not the Datang, but it is waiting for the court to call for security one day."

Zhou Hongji sighed: "In the past, I only thought he wanted to find another way out for everyone. Now it seems that from the beginning of the fight, he was thinking of being recruited. It's just that our brothers have always wanted to be free in Montenegro, without food and clothing. Worry, naturally will not be affected by him, and his plan to recruit security will not be realized. This time we have suffered heavy losses, morale is low, and people's hearts are unstable. As a result, he feels that as long as Long Ruijun presses it again, we may succumb. . His purpose of betraying us is to make us lose the battle, and then be successfully recruited by the Long Ruijun."

Du Zitong nodded, his eyes showed resentment, and said: "Once we are really enlisted, he will take great credit, and he will inevitably be promoted to be an official of the court compared to the second master in Montenegro. What he thinks in his heart." Gritting his teeth, bitterly said: "He is using our lives to pave the way for him to become an official."

"Song Lun and the others were released, Xuanyuanchong definitely didn't know beforehand." Zhou Hongji said: "He didn't let Qin Xiao use these brothers as bargaining chips for a simple reason, just because he didn't expect that I would let him Go to do this. He must feel that we did not let him lead this time when we sent troops. Naturally, it would not be easy to find him to solve such a big problem. If he was expected to send him to save people, he would definitely fight with Qin. The happy tradition will detain all the brothers who have been arrested."

Du Zitong thought for a while before he said: "Big Brother is right. But I don't understand why Qin Xiao would let him go?"

"Whether Qin Xiao has any other schemes, I still can't guess it for a while." Zhou Hongji said, "But the most likely thing is to buy people's hearts. If you think about it, we fought Long Ruijun. The deaths and injuries were heavy, and many brothers must have hated and feared Long Ruijun. Qin Xiao and Xuanyuan Chong should join forces inside and outside, and want to join forces to let Heishan be recruited. Naturally, people on the mountain can't be full of hatred for Long Ruijun. Qin Xiao let go. After returning, many people felt that the Long Ruijun was much better than the Liaodong Army, and even felt grateful to Long Ruijun. In this way, Xuanyuanchong was more confident in encouraging peace on the mountain."

Du Zitong was suddenly enlightened, and said, "Big brother, do you remember that a few days before we sent troops, Xuanyuanchong also took people to see Qin Xiao. He didn't tell him beforehand, so he said afterwards that he was just going to explore. Virtual reality." With a sneer, he said: "Brother, if I didn't guess wrong, that time they have reached an agreement and were embarrassed."

Zhou Hongji raised his hand to signal Du Zitong not to speak, and said softly: "Let me sort out the clues. Xuanyuanchong and Qin Xiao met and reached an agreement. He knew that we were going to send troops, but he strongly opposed it, just didn't want to lead the troops to fight in person, so The people in his Huangtu Village should not participate in the war to avoid losses. We did not tell him the plan to send troops, but since he and Qin Xiao were embarrassed, he must send people to pay attention to the movement on the mountain. Before sending troops, all the villages were preparing, although said It was for training, but Xuanyuanchong was so shrewd. He learned that the people in the villages were mobilized, and guessed that we might be sending troops."

"Then why did he know that I and Yuan Bao led the soldiers?"

"It's very simple. I want to sit in Dazhai, so naturally I won't go down the mountain. The youngest hasn't led a soldier down the mountain in many years. Except for Xuanyuanchong, you and Yuanbao are qualified to lead the army." Zhou Hongji sighed, "Xuanyuan He is very smart and knows the situation on the mountain. It is easy to guess that you two will lead troops to fight. As for the number of troops sent, he can guess the approximate number of troops sent after all. After all, no one is better than him. Understand the deployment of the Montenegrin army."

Duzi Channel: "Yes, the eldest brother is really wise and extraordinary."

"Qin Xiao got a secret report and set a trap, causing us to lose a lot." Zhou Hongji had a deep gaze and said softly: "Under the big defeat, the people on the mountain are panic and morale is low. At this time, Xuanyuanchong can jump out and persuade us to accept. Zhaoan. And today he just said the word Zhaoan to me!" Looking at Du Zitong, he sneered and said: "Fourth brother, who is the ghost, isn't it about to come out?"

Du Zitong stood up abruptly and said: "Big brother, I was defeated by Xuanyuan, and there are so many dead and wounded brothers, I can't spare him. I will gather people now to catch this inner ghost!"

"Confused." Zhou Hongji reprimanded: "Although I am convinced that he betrayed Montenegro, this is only my guess. No matter how big the suspicion is, after all, there is no real evidence in my hand. If you just grab him like this, There will be great chaos on the mountain. Also, there are not many people in Huangtu Village, but all the people under him are fierce and unusual. Xuanyuanchong's martial arts is unmatched except for ingots, and he is extremely prestigious in the hearts of the brothers. Gao, you took someone to catch him rashly. If you fail to catch him then, maybe you will die in his hands."

"What should I do?" Du Zitong frowned: "Big brother, if he continues to collude with officers and soldiers, but we don't do anything, we will regret it then."

Zhou Hongji waved his hand and said: "No hurry, no hurry. Since he has colluded with Qin Xiao, there will be some movement next. Brother, from now on, you send someone to stare at Huangtuzhai in secret, especially Huangtuzhai’s way down the mountain must be watched hard. If he still moves, he will definitely send someone to contact Qin Xiao secretly. As long as he guards the intersection, suspicious people go down the mountain and immediately follow. Going south, it must be to deliver the letter. The person who delivered the letter will be quietly captured. If we can get the evidence of his collusion with Qin Xiao, we can do it."

Du Zitong's eyes lit up and said: "Brother is still smart, I will arrange for someone to watch him immediately, and report as soon as I have news." He asked: "Big brother, do you want to tell the third child about this?"

"Don't worry." Zhou Hongji shook his head and said, "Just in case, don't let the third person know about this matter except you and me." A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "What is the mind of the third one? I can’t guess it, maybe he also has different intentions, so he must prevent it." Looking at Du Zitong, he said sincerely: "Now I don’t believe in anyone except you!"
