"You don't need to, I'll go down the mountain myself."

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked shocked.

Liu Quan hurriedly said: "Master Bai, you have been ordered to control the inside of the villa. You are the most senior and capable. How can you be allowed to go? This trip is very dangerous. If you are not here, there will be no leader in the villa. What will happen?"

"

Bai Qing looked over and said: "There are some things you don't know yet... I am going down the mountain. If King Chen orders me to be killed, it can stabilize the hearts of the people inside. If King Chen doesn't kill me, I can deal with him according to the young master's previous explanation."

, it will be delayed for a while, but you don’t know the inside story and don’t know how to face King Chen directly.”

After finishing speaking, he looked at Liu Quan and said: "You can think of this and have a smart mind. You can stay here and discuss defense matters with several brothers."

Liu Quan hurriedly responded: "How can a young man have such qualifications?"

Several people nearby also showed strange expressions.

"How can he compare with Mr. Bai?"

"Does it mean that we should obey his orders?"

"Based on his words alone, Master Bai concluded that he can coordinate defense matters?"

"This is too hasty."

——

Such a scene is also expected.

The last time they intercepted King Chen's men and plundered King Chen's belongings, Zhuang's Merchant Company sent a total of thirty-six people, resulting in considerable casualties.

The rest of the people are all friends through life and death, brothers in life and death.

In their eyes, those who were not chosen to work on that day were not truly loyal to Zhuang's firm.

Therefore, there was inevitably some estrangement and fear towards Liu Quan.

"Liu Quan can be regarded as my senior brother's registered disciple. There is no need to question his loyalty."

Bai Qing said: "It seems that he is quite smart today. You don't have to treat him as an outsider... The reason why he was not there in the last time was for another reason. It was not because of his lack of loyalty."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Liu Quan and said: "I have given instructions before about how to defend this villa. Everyone has a general idea in mind. If you feel that something is wrong and needs to be changed, then it depends on your ability.

I can’t convince these brothers..."

Liu Quan's expression changed and he hesitated a little.

Bai Qing said: "Brothers, you are not unreasonable. As long as you can tell the truth, they will listen to you... If you don't know how to defend yourself and talk nonsense, they will naturally not be able to listen to you."

Liu Quan paused for a moment, then raised his hands and said, "Yes."

Bai Qing looked at everyone and said: "When I go down the mountain, no matter what the outcome is, even if I am shot and killed by King Chen on the spot, don't blame Liu Quan..."

At this point, he exhaled and said with a wry smile: "Maybe I'm just one step faster than you."

Everyone looked sad and nodded.

Bai Qing pulled Liu Quan over, pointed to the back, and said, "Did you see that? That courtyard is where the young master is! Our duty is to guard there! I only need you to promise me that you will fight to the death to keep that courtyard today."

Liu Quan nodded and said: "If the courtyard is breached, Liu Quan must be dead."

Bai Qing said seriously: "Even if you die, you will die at the door of the courtyard and use your body to hold them back."

Liu Quan nodded solemnly.

——

At the foot of the mountain.

King Chen stretched out his hand and pulled.

The rope tugged.

The rope pulls the iron hook.

The iron hook penetrated Lu He's shoulder bone.

Lu He groaned and threw himself forward to the ground. He coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face was pale and he was sweating.

If it were an ordinary person, being dragged all the way, if he were to pull at this moment, his chain bones would probably be torn out.

Thanks to his high attainments in martial arts and years of training, he is physically strong and has the inner strength to protect himself.

But despite this, he also turned pale and almost fainted.

"How long do you think Qianlong Villa can withstand this king's military order?"

"Qianlong Villa is like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. Your Majesty, you must think twice before you act." Lu He opened his mouth, gritted his teeth and responded.

"Longtan Tiger's Den, facing tens of thousands of troops, will be shattered today." King Chen said calmly: "You have also followed Zhuang Ming for many years, and you must be familiar with the villa. If you can come up with a plan, I can take advantage of it without any effort.

Come down to the villa, and I can spare you."

"I have no idea."

Lu He said weakly: "Just kill me..."

King Chen pulled the rope and said slowly: "You can't believe it, but I have thought of it. All I need to do is find someone to send a message to Zhuang Mingsan to kneel down nine times and go down the mountain to die. Others will be exempted from death..."

After a pause, King Chen said with a smile: "Do you think Zhuang Ming felt that he was bound to die, so he came down the mountain to save these people? Or are you saying that people like Qianlong Villa will kill you just because of the chance of survival?

Mr. Thirteen, please tie him down?"

Lu He's face turned even paler, but he didn't speak. His eyes were like daggers and murderous.

King Chen waved his hand and said: "Let someone send a message. Within a hundred breaths, if Zhuang Ming kneels down and kowtows, I, the king, can open his eyes and pardon the death penalty of everyone in the villa. After a hundred breaths, if there is no response, attack the mountain."

!”

Just when he was about to give the order.

But someone suddenly called out.

"Your Majesty, someone has come out from Qianlong Villa."

"Um?"

"Should I shoot him?"

"Let him come down, he must be begging for mercy."

King Chen waved his hand and said, "I would like to see what he has to say."

Lu He raised his head slightly. He was extremely weak at the moment, and what he saw with his eyes was slightly blurred, but he could still tell that the person coming down the mountain was his junior brother Bai Qing.

After a pause, Lu He's mouth turned slightly bitter.

——

Bai Qing came all the way down the mountain.

What surprised him was that he was not shot.

After walking thirty steps, he paused, looked at the corpse at his feet, squatted down slightly, and closed Manager Zhou's eyes filled with reluctance.

"Lao Zhou, don't worry."

"For many years, no one who killed our Zhuang Company ended up well."

"The same goes for King Chen."

"As long as we hold on for an hour, Young Master will have a way to break the situation."

"Young Master will avenge us."

"Just rest in peace."

Bai Qing stood up and continued walking down.

He doesn't walk very slowly, but he doesn't walk very fast either.

——

"stop!"

The Zhennan Army surrounded him.

Swords and guns came together, pointing at Bai Qing.

The edge is sharp and the murderous intent is awe-inspiring.

Bai Qing's expression was cold. He took off his sword, threw it on the ground, and said, "Take me to see King Chen."

——

The soldiers of the Zhennan Army escorted Bai Qing to King Chen.

King Chen put his hands behind his back and looked down.

But Bai Qing's eyes were not on the prince, but on his senior brother Lu He.

Lu He's expression was gloomy, but he remained calm.

But his shoulders were pierced by iron hooks, his body was covered in blood, and he was extremely weak.
