After walking forward nearly ten meters along the six-meter-wide crack, I finally arrived at another exit of the crack.

When he walked to the exit and looked inside, Zhengliang couldn't help but be stunned by the scene in front of him. On the other side of the crack, there was a small canyon surrounded by mountains on three sides. The small canyon was nearly two miles long from north to south, and extended from east to west to the foot of the highest peak of the wild high mountain (about 200 meters above sea level). Zhengliang initially estimated that when the fields here were completely reclaimed, it could solve the food problem of at least 300 people. The hills on both sides of the north and south increased upward at thirty degrees, and the highest point was about 80 meters. Although it was not very high, it formed a natural barrier. It was basically difficult to find other entrances around except for the crack at the entrance. Looking at this canyon, Zhengliang suddenly had a good idea in his heart, and at the same time he was more eager to eliminate the bandits inside and occupy the place as his own.

At this time, the two little guys who were originally responsible for guarding the entrance had already advanced to the distant village in advance according to Yukisuke's arrangement. Masara made some arrangements and then led the team to continue moving forward. After arriving at the edge of the town, the team was divided into two teams. One team temporarily stayed at the edge of the village and waited for the gate of the village to be captured and reinforced immediately. The other team was led by Masarara, with a total of eight people wearing bandit clothes heading towards the gate of the village. Yukisuke was still holding Oishi Taro and was responsible for opening the gate of the village. Although there was an internal fight in the village, in order to prevent accidents, it was more safe to approach the counterfeit village in this way.

The team moved forward all the way and saw a mountain village built along a small hill from a distance. The walls of the mountain village were built with wood and mud and stone, and the shortest place was about two meters. However, the mountain village was large and basically covered the entire hill. The houses were distributed along the hill, and the overall area was about twenty acres. There were some small mud wooden houses distributed around the path. Now all the small mud houses are closed with wooden doors. Through the gaps in the small windows of the wooden house, you can vaguely see pairs of eyes looking at their team of men nervously.

Soon, the team arrived at the gate of the village. The gate of the village was half open, and there were traces of fighting on the ground, and even a few bloodstains were found, but no one was seen. Masaru quickly arranged personnel to occupy the gate, and then sent someone to notify Tsuda Hirozo on the edge of the village to come and meet immediately. After arranging everything, Yukisuke, who entered the village in advance to inquire about the situation, came back.

"Your Highness, Sousakiro Tanishi has already attacked Oishi Noji's yard. They are fighting fiercely now. Since they dare not get close to each other, they are not very clear about the specific situation. But..." Yukisuke looked like he was about to stop.

"Continue to say it," Masaruo glanced at Yukisuke and ordered.

"Your Highness, the villain met Tadajiro and the others while checking the situation." Yukisuke replied immediately.

"Oh? Are you talking about those bandits who have always remained neutral?" Zhengliang also knew from the information provided by the two children that these bandits also took the opportunity to enter the village to prepare for fishing in troubled waters.

"Yes, Your Highness. They originally planned to rescue the villain's wife and daughter in the chaos." Yukisuke looked very moved, "Please forgive him. In order to convince them to surrender, I told them some of His Highness about His Highness. After knowing about His Highness, Tadajiro and the others expressed their willingness to surrender, but they needed to discuss the conditions with you in person." Yukisuke finally said the result with a timid urge.

"Oh?" Masara was surprised. Unexpectedly, someone surrendered as soon as he arrived here. He pondered for a moment, did not immediately express his opinion, but continued to ask, "Have they attacked my territory?" Masarara looked down at Yusuke who was kneeling on the ground, stared at his eyes, and observed his expression change.

"Your Highness, no. Many of them were farmers who could not survive at the foot of the mountain, and they had feelings for the places they lived in the past, so they rarely attacked nearby villages. Moreover, since the nearby villages did not resist too much force, the other bandits on the mountain frequently visited them, so in order to reduce the distribution of spoils, we, who were rejected and often acted as scapegoats, did not have the opportunity to attack these villages. Banishi Dalang and the others would not be willing to divide a portion of the easily obtained property to us." Hearing Masaru's question, Yukisuke replied calmly in response to Masaru's eyes. Although he was a little scared, after contacting this lord for a while, Yukisuke knew that this lord had a bottom line in dealing with any problems, and there was a chance to discuss things before crossing the bottom line. The attack on his territory was the bottom line in dealing with the bandit problem. The last time the captured bandits, all those who attacked the territory were executed.

"Well, okay, please inform them and let them come over. I want to hear what their conditions are there." Zhengliang smiled slightly and nodded in agreement. In fact, Zhengliang didn't want to fight with the bandits head-on. Once the bandits defeated the death to death, they would suffer heavy losses. Now there are eight or nine bandits surrendering, which is the best way, so that their side can form an overwhelming advantage in numbers, and even if they fight head-on, they can avoid excessive damage.

Soon, under the leadership of Yukisuke, a bald man with empty hands came to Masarara.

"In Shimo Tadjiro, pay homage to your highness." Tadjiro was shocked in his heart. In fact, today, the lord in front of him had already brought him great shock for the second time. First of all, I just learned from Yukisuke that Oshinoji, who had 17 fierce bandits, had completely wiped out his army. You must know that this group of bandits usually gave headaches from the powerful nearby. The most shocking thing was that even Oshinoji was killed by that lord. In addition, the seriously injured Danishi Daro, this mysterious lord has directly defeated the leaders of the two bandits. Now this lord leads dozens of feet.

It was really incredible to kill him to the door of his house, but he didn't notice it. So after Yukisuke's persuasion and his analysis, he finally decided to surrender. When he saw this mysterious lord face to face, Tadajiro was shocked again. The mysterious lord who defeated two bandit leaders in a row seemed to be only 17 or 18 years old. Is this a joke? Of course, if Masayoro knew what Tadajiro was thinking at the moment, he would definitely shout for injustice. Brother is a 28-year-old young man. Don't be deceived by this tender skin.

"Oh? You are the Tadajiro? When you come here alone, aren't you afraid that I will go back on my word and kill you?" Masarara smiled slightly, then stared at Tadajiro's eyes and said.

"Hahaha" Tadajiro didn't expect Masaru to be so direct, so he couldn't help but be stunned, and then laughed, "Your Highness, I know this guy Yukisuke's temperament. If this guy who is afraid of death is not completely sure that you will not regret it, you will not notify me to come here." After hearing Tadajiro's words, Yukisuke's face turned red and his teeth were chewing, and he would have jumped up and pointed at Tadajiro and started cursing.

"Oh. It turns out that the advantages of my newly acquired foot light team head are well known to everyone." Masaru smiled slightly and said. Masaru's words have two purposes. First, it is to win people's hearts. No matter who is poking his shortcomings, he suddenly finds that someone appreciates him and is grateful. After observation during this period, Masaru also recognizes Yuizu's contribution. The so-called reward and punishment are clear, and it is also appropriate to reward a position that has not yet been paid for. Secondly, tell Tadajiro indirectly that Masaru treats people who sincerely surrender, and there is no need to worry about the issue of settlement in the autumn. Even if he performs outstandingly, he will be promoted.

Sure enough, after hearing Masaru's words, Yukisuke immediately burst into tears and hurriedly knelt in front of Masaru, kowtowed a few times, and said stutteringly, "Thank you, your lord, ah! No, my subordinates must do their duty and strive to contribute to the prosperity of the Luo family's Wuyun." Masaru waved his hand slightly and signaled Yukisuke to avoid the gift. Yukisuke quickly got up, then stared at Tadajiro, as if he was provoking, look, I have changed from a bandit to a retainer.

"Hahaha, Your Highness's methods really make me admire you." Tadajiro laughed in the face of Yukisuke's provocation, not caring at all. Then he suddenly changed his mind, leaned over and stared at Masara, and said with a serious expression, "But, Your Highness, aren't you afraid that you will suddenly attack and control you?"

Osaki Kyuji, who was behind Masara, was furious when he heard this, pulled out his samurai sword and pointed it at Tadajiro and shouted angrily, "Bold". Seeing this, the surrounding stamina immediately raised his gun and approached. Masara smiled calmly, raised his right hand and signaled everyone not to act rashly, but his eyes kept looking at Tadajiro without blinking, and said calmly, "Then, you will soon feel the feeling of separation of your body and head." Then, he exerted a little force throughout his body, and a swordsman's pressure pointed directly at Tadajiro.

Tadajiro immediately felt the air around him suddenly condensed, and he felt a suffocating feeling in an instant, and quickly cheered up to deal with it. In this way, Masara and Tadajiro looked at each other, attacking and defending, and the atmosphere became stalemate. Until almost a cup of tea, Tadajiro finally lost the battle. At this time, his whole body was soaked in sweat. Yukisuke next to him laughed secretly when he saw this, "Who told you to compete with this devil, you know it's amazing."

"Your Highness, I finally believe that Daro Tanishi and Nishinoji Oshino were defeated by you." After Masara removed his pressure, Tadajiro took a deep breath and said with a wry smile.

Zhengliang smiled slightly, not saying anything about this.

"Then, Tadajiro, tell me your conditions?" Time is precious, and Masayoro didn't plan to beat around the bush.

"Hahaha" Seeing Masara's compliment for him, Tadajiro had to laugh to hide his embarrassment, and then said, "Your Highness is really refreshing. We only have one request, which is to ensure that we and our family are protected from harassment."

"Yes" Masaru readily agreed to Tadajiro's request, "At the same time, please accept the first position of the footlight team in my family."

"Yes, Your Highness, the ministers immediately summoned the rest of the people and obeyed your command." Tadjiro knew that Masayora was using his position to dispel other people's concerns, and at the same time, he had to admire the wisdom of the lord in front of him again. Of course, he was not completely convinced in his heart. He had already discussed with the others that once this lord asked his group of people to do something as scapegoats, they would immediately leave. But he didn't know that Masayora had no intention of letting them all join the military team he formed.
