(Sorry, I had a slight pain after finishing my teeth yesterday. I couldn't write a few hundred words in a long time, so I had to stop updating. It was better tonight, so I quickly coded a chapter.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After hearing Zhang Rui's words, the lobby was silent for a moment.

After a while, Zhao Bangjie's low voice sounded in the lobby: "Is this the rescue strategy arranged by your Tianshu City? It's not to fight the enemy side by side with us, but to abandon the village and escape?"

Zhao Zhen was also full of anger, and dissatisfaction suddenly burst out: "What is Di Lie's move?! We fought bloody battles with the Jin army and fought on the front line of Taihang. Tianshu City was one of the allies of Taihang. After receiving the call from our village, Qingcheng came to join us for the grand event, and only sent out a capital of troops... Isn't this going to make the Taihang villages feel cold and heartbroken!"

Although Zhao Zhen is young, he is born in the world's largest dyeing vat. Other things are not good, but he is self-taught and can do it without a teacher.

Zhang Rui did not show too much excitement, but said calmly: "My Tianshu City is like Guizhai, fighting bloody battles with the Jin army and fighting on the front line of Taihang. Last month, he defeated the Jinzhong Route Army that invaded our Tianshu City. The entire army is resting and it is difficult to send a large group of troops to help. For the request of Guizhai, he is willing but not strong enough. He had no choice but to send a team of elite cadres to defend the village with Guizhai soldiers. All the other non-combatants in the village must retreat to pacify... Here is the city lord who replied to His Highness's hand and wrote a letter. Please read it in detail."

Although Zhang Rui was very disgusted with Zhao Zhen's words and the leaders of the Taihang Villages, such as "convening order" and "the Taihang Villages were cold and heartbroken", he had never seen Zhao Zhen's letter, and was not sure whether the content contained words like convening, so he was inconvenient to comment. He just clearly conveyed his mission on this trip and received the reply from the city lord.

The etiquette officer took the letter and carefully checked it. He did not find any abnormalities before putting the letter on the black painted tray and presented it to Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen unfolded the letter, and the more he looked, the ugly his face became. Finally, he snorted and handed the letter to Zhao Bangjie. After Zhao Bangjie read it, his face was not as good as that.

The man with many wrinkles on his face scratched his head and asked carefully: "What did Zhao Zhizhai say in the letter?"

Zhao Bangjie sighed: "Just as Zhang Dutou said, let us transfer all the camp members to the Pingding Army."

At this time, Liang Xing couldn't help but say to the man: "My cousin, what Lord Di said is also a good idea. You should know that it is a big village like the Baima Mountain Village. He also moved to the Pingding Army and temporarily avoided the Jin army. Now, in the counties of the Pingding Army, more than 20 villages, including my Heiya Mountain Village, have already been sent to the harbor. According to my nephew's opinion, the Jin people are powerful. They temporarily avoid their edge and think that the future plan is also the right thing."

That man was Liang Xing's cousin, the original founder of Wuma Mountain Village, and the deputy magistrate Ma Bao. This Ma Bao was born as an ordinary hunter. In addition to having some courage and shooting skills, he had no idea about any planning and military strategy, and also had a humble background. Therefore, since Zhao Bangjie was welcomed to take over Wuma Mountain, Ma Bao has been retreating to the second line. After the arrival of King Xin, the hunter was even more silent, and he was timid in everything and would never dare to violate it at all.

The reason why Ma Bao rarely appears in the hall today is that Liang Xing and Liu Ze both found him and told him the current crisis and way out of Wumashan. I hope he can make the right choice.

In fact, the reason why Wuma Mountain Village was surrounded by the village, and was finally broken by the Jin soldiers. The most important reason is that there is no way out. Apart from the Wuma Mountain, the territory of the Jin people is full of sight. It is also dead when trapped, and breaking through the siege is also dead. Therefore, in despair with no way out, he was trapped so that his guns and arrows were broken, water and food were cut off, and finally flattened the Jin people's iron hooves...

But in this time and space, there was an obvious turning point, and Wuma Shanzhai had a way out - Pingding Army!

Even ants live in silence, let alone humans?

When Ma Bao heard this, he couldn't sit still on the spot. It was a major matter related to the life and death of tens of thousands of people in the village. Even if he was the "deputy magistrate" who never cared about the matter, he had to bite the bullet and come to the conference hall tremblingly to participate in the conference.

At this time, Ma Bao exchanged glances with the leaders, and all bet on King Xin and Zhao Bangjie.

There is no doubt that Ma Bao and all the leaders of Tianshu City regard this way out as a life-saving straw, and they are already very willing to do so. Now it depends on the verdict of the two big names.

From Zhao Bangjie's heart, he also knew that this was the only way to live. However, after all, he had been an official for many years, and he had seen and thought much deeper than the farmer below. Once all the villages were transferred to pacification, it would be to rely on others. On other people's territory, others would supply food, fodder, provide weapons, and enclose the base... What's the difference between it and the fish on the chopping board? By then, the armed forces of tens of thousands of people in Wumashan might not be surnamed Zhao... But if they refused, the lives of tens of thousands of people in Wumashan would be suspended...

On the one hand, there are gains and losses, and on the other hand, life is at stake. What choice should we make? Zhao Bangjie believes that His Highness King Xin is also in a dilemma with him.

Zhao Bangjie looked up and, sure enough, he saw the face of this royal boy with resentment and reluctance.

Zhao Zhen was meditated for a long time, and finally said: "There is a big obstacle to moving the village. You must be careful and discuss this matter later... Zhang Dutou, please retreat first, and then hand over your army, equipment, and food to Zhao Zhizhai for coordinated arrangements. You can go."

Liang Xing and Liu Ze on the other side knew something bad when they heard this. The people from Wumashan had never dealt with Tianshu City. They only thought that they were crowded and had a great master in the village, so they regarded themselves as the boss everywhere. They first poached the scepter, but now they directly swallowed up the gun...

Tianshu City! What a terrifying existence that was, 20,000 Jin soldiers were beaten to almost destroy the entire army... The news of Wuma Mountain Village was blocked and confused. He actually regarded the giant as a dwarf and had such an inauthentic idea. Isn't this asking for trouble...

Sure enough, Zhang Rui remained motionless and said proudly: "Your Highness may have some misunderstandings. Zhang Rui is the head of the Tianzhu Army in Tianshu City. This time, when you ask for help from your village, you will lead your army to help. Except for food and fodder, your village must be responsible for providing it, all other matters, including command and combat, will be solved by our hunting soldiers themselves. Outsiders should not interfere."

Regarding the principles of matters such as the relationship between the face and the hunting soldiers in Tianshu City, Zhang Rui's tone was unambiguous and his words became tough.

Zhao Zhen's already unhappy mood completely collapsed. He was furious and stood up. He pointed at Zhang Rui and shouted: "What a courage. You must know that this is not Tianshu City or Pingding Army. You are a small leader and more than a hundred people. You dare to be so arrogant in Wuma Mountain, where I have tens of thousands of villages. If I move all the soldiers and civilians in the village to Pingding, that's all. Wouldn't it be a small pawn to take my Wuma Mountain seriously?"

As for Zhao Zhen's roar, Zhang Rui's expression was as usual. He also answered with an allusion: "Why did the king talk about him? Now it is not a question of whether to migrate or calm down. The ** of the Hunting City of Tianzhu Army will be independent and will never change the slightest because of being in a different place. Please put the overall situation first! The life of the entire village is the most important!"

"What a life-and-death Zhang Rui, Iron, holds this king with his life to the whole village!

With Zhao Zhen's order, a clang of armor came from outside the hall, and a large number of people rushed in. They were all armed and sword-holding men. The armor on these armored soldiers was even brighter and brighter than what they saw outside the village before. It was obviously the personal guards of King Xin Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen looked at Zhang Rui surrounded by the center and smiled at the leader: "Zhang Dutou, tell you the truth. After you leave the garrison, your subordinates are surrounded like your current situation. Zhang Dutou should go to the garrison with my guards. Xiaoyu's subordinates put down their swords and abandon their darkness and turn to the light. After that, I should treat each other with courtesy. Zhang Dutou must think clearly, don't make mistakes on his own!"

Liang Xing couldn't help but jump up and shouted at Ma Bao: "Cousin! What's the point of waiting for you? Is this the attitude of Wuma Mountain Village to come to rescue reinforcements in the wind and snow? Such a move is really cold and heartbreaking!"

Ma Bao looked embarrassed and kept rubbing his rough hands covered with calluses. He sighed and kept looking at Zhao Bangjie. But he never dared to speak. As for Zhao Zhen, he didn't even dare to look at him.

From the heart of this simple hunter, this is indeed inauthentic. However, he is a priest in Wuma Mountain. He is placed on the stage and can't control anything in fact. What's more, now he is the Supreme Emperor of Wuma Mountain. How many courage does he dare to stop him?

Zhao Bangjie was also shocked by King Xin's actions. Thinking of the combat effectiveness and strict military discipline that the army had seen before, he felt that it was inappropriate, but he could not think of a better solution for a while. He also agreed with King Xin's statement in his heart. There was an uncontrollable force in the village, which was unacceptable no matter how it was. It was just that the people of the village had just saved the crisis and were threatened like this in a blink of an eye. This method was a bit unreasonable. Perhaps, this was how the people of the Tian family dealt with things...

At this time, Liu Ze was also full of anger. He was about to get up to argue, but was pointed at by a soldier with a knife and an axe. He suddenly couldn't say anything.

At this time, Zhang Rui was surrounded by more than ten armored soldiers, his face calm and his eyes were closed and his head was lowered. His eyes suddenly opened, and a cold light flashed. A strange blood-red light appeared on the scar on his left face. He suddenly exhaled and said, "Don't let yourself make mistakes, it's Your Highness!"

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Rui quickly reached into his arms, took out the eagle-mouth gun, pulled out the soft plug of the gun barrel, pointed the gun's fingers at the mouth, and pulled the plate machine... With a loud bang, the echo in the semi-closed lobby, and the sound was as loud as thunder.

The target of Zhang Rui's shot was neither the armored soldiers surrounding him nor Zhao Bangjie, nor the Xinwang Zhao Zhen... but a tung oil lamp on the east wall.

The lamp jumped up, the tung oil splashed, and the fire splashed everywhere. Gunshots, flames, smoke, oil and fire... The scene was in chaos.

The soldiers surrounding Zhang Rui were closest to him, so the shock caused by this shot was the strongest: the better ones were stunned, while the second ones were shocked, and the worst performers could not hold on to the weapons in their hands and fell to the ground.

Zhang Rui shot out and immediately knocked several people over, broke through the circumference, and rushed towards King Xin Zhao Zhen.

The soldiers behind Zhao Zhen were also stunned for a while, and it was not until Zhang Rui rushed closer to five steps that he realized. Just as he was about to make some move, he was pointed at by Zhang Rui's eagle-mouth gun and suddenly became shocked and retreated repeatedly.

When he was still three steps away from catching Zhao Zhen, Zhao Bangjie, who was closest to Zhao Zhen, rushed over and grabbed Zhang Rui's wrist holding a gun... If you want to talk about close combat, Zhang Rui, who was born in the Imperial Academy, could not beat Zhao Bangjie, who was a military general.

Just as he was about to fail, he suddenly smashed a seat from somewhere, blocking Zhao Bangjie. Then he rushed out of the slanting stalker and fought with Zhao Bangjie.

Liang Xing!

At the critical moment, the last tiger in the Heiya Mountain Village finally took the risk and chose to stand on the side of Tianshu City.

Zhao Zhen was frightened by the thunder-like sound, fireworks and copper oil lamps several feet away. The scene that was broken in response. When he came to his senses in a daze, a slightly hot iron tube was pressed on his forehead. Zhang Rui's slightly breathing sound came into his ears: "Don't your highness want to know the power of our army musket? Now you see it? As long as I move my fingers, I can shoot your highness at any time. I hope your highness won't mislead yourself."

"No!"

Zhao Bangjie and Liang Xing punched each other and jumped backwards and stopped.

"No!"

Ma Bao and the leaders were also shocked and hurriedly stopped the approaching movements of the group of soldiers to avoid irritating Zhang Rui. These soldiers actually would not accept the orders of the rest of the people besides Zhao Zhen, but the situation is obvious at the moment. If they approach, it may be detrimental to His Highness, so they have to stop.

For a time, a larger encirclement was formed in the lobby, surrounding Zhang Rui - slightly different from before. In addition to Zhang Rui, there was also a King of Xin in the encirclement.

A stalemate formed in the lobby. Only Liang Xing was puzzled and looked at the eagle-mouth gun in Zhang Rui's hand from time to time. Before, on the top of the cliff, the entire process of shooting the enemy by the hunters was in Liang Xing's eyes. He also noticed such a detail: muskets are fired one at a time, and they have never been fired in succession. Zhang Rui had already shot one shot before, but he had to load the bullets at noon! Is there any bullet in the chamber? Could it be that the short gun is different from the long gun, and can it be fired in succession?

Zhao Zhen's eyes were staring at the copper cup that fell to the ground and was split into pieces, as if it was his own head... As he looked, a cold air rose from his tailbone, and he immediately sweated like slurry, his face was like earth. His teeth were lightly knocked, and he said in a trembling voice: "Zhang Dutou, Tianshu City and Wuma Mountain, all of them are Taihang Rebel Army... They are all their own family members... They have something to say, and they can say..."

Zhao Bangjie also said in a deep voice: "Your Highness is eager to seek talent and is very frustrated. I hope Zhang Du will be forgiven for his offense. Zhao vowed here that as long as Zhang Du put down his sharp weapon, the Wuma Mountain Village will never happen. You and I are still friendly troops, and we fight against the Jin army side by side. And the matter of moving the village is just like Zhang Du Head's request. How about it?"

Ma Bao also bowed repeatedly and said, "That's right, we have agreed to Zhang Dutou's conditions. Don't hurt His Highness, that's a body of gold..."

Zhang Rui shook his head helplessly: "It seems that we are forcing you to move to the village - everyone, your life is yours, and yours is yours, and whether you leave or stay is all up to you. If you think that my Tianshu City is troublesome, we will go back, why bother like this?"

Ma Bao nodded repeatedly: "It's the best, Guicheng is a kind heart, we all understand. Today's things are wrong. Brother Zhang, just let go of something, we admit that we are willing to punish you. I just want to let Your Highness go..."

While Zhang Rui was pondering, the two doors of the lobby were suddenly pushed open, and one person rushed in in a panic. It was probably because the people who came were too panic and didn't notice the tension in the hall. He shouted: "No, the Jin army... the Jin army is attacking again!"

Everyone was stunned. The Jin army had just been defeated and attacked again. This was too unusual.

All the eyes of Wuma Mountain Village looked at Zhang Rui in unison.

This time, without waiting for everyone to say more, Zhang Rui spun the eagle-beak gun on his finger, inserted it back to his waist, and said calmly: "Let's go, you're done with your tricks, it's time to see what the golden man is playing." After that, he bowed to King Xin, strode away with a big strode.

King Zhao Zhen, who was forced to escape from the disaster, sat on the brocade chair with a loss of body, staring at Zhang Rui's back as he walked away, his eyes wide open. Zhao Bangjie, who was standing beside him, seemed to see his thoughts, stepped forward, and whispered: "Brothers are fighting against the wall, and they are humiliating him. Your Highness, be careful."

Zhao Zhen was silent for a while, sighed a long time, and waved his hand: "Go, don't let the Jin people kill into the village."

On the mountain road, Liang Xing quickly caught up with Zhang Rui and kept looking at the eagle-mouth gun on his waist. After holding it in for a long time, he couldn't help asking: "Zhang Dutou, can you really fire this short gun?"

Zhang Rui turned around and smiled playfully: "What do you think?"
