Not to mention Tie Zhu being frightened, even Guo Daxian and others who were about to take action were also frightened. The two sides were just in a stalemate, staring at each other.

Fortunately, Lao Hei heard something familiar from the voice, and quickly asked: "But is it in front of my brother Tiezhu?"

"It's me, who are you? How do you know my name? Huh? You...you are..." In this dark place, Tie Zhu remained vigilant, but as he spoke, he also felt that the person's

The voice was very familiar, and he immediately exclaimed: "Are you Brother Hei?"

"Haha...it really is Tiezhu! Brother, it seems that Tiezhu and the others have not been killed yet."

Lao Hei was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly said to Guo Daxian beside him.

"Okay, okay, I heard everything. Brother Tiezhu, I haven't seen you for more than a month, are you okay?"

Guo Daxian walked to Tiezhu and said with a smile.

"Brother Guo, is it really you? Weren't you caught by the army?" He was frustrated just now, but in the blink of an eye he saw Guo Daxian again. The excitement in Tiezhu's heart was indescribable, and he saw him tightly

He grabbed Guo Daxian's arm tightly and asked.

"How did you know that I was arrested by the army?"

Guo Daxian wondered.

"Hey, Brother Guo, you don't know something. Just now, Shan Niu came here with Yan Bao..."

Tie Zhu quickly told what happened just now.

"Hmph, that's great. That boy from Shanniu usually seems to be well-behaved and honest. I didn't expect him to have such thoughts. I'm not even dead yet, and he's eager to change his family. That's great.

Very cool."

After Guo Daxian heard this, he was so angry that he laughed out loud.

Everyone present could hear Guo Daxian's helplessness and sadness at this time, and some of them felt the same. They had followed Guo Daxian's old man and worked hard to establish the territory. He had only been missing for half a month, and the village had changed hands directly. In the past, they had not bothered

The talents he cultivated have now become other people's lackeys. It is not easy for Guo Daxian to remain calm at this moment.

"Brother Guo, actually you don't need to say that, don't you still have our brothers?"

Lao Hei comforted him.

"Yes, our brothers also thought that it would be boring to be in this village, so we were ready to leave the village. Since Brother Guo is back now, we won't leave either. Our brothers will help you give him the position of the village leader again.

Grab it back."

Tie Zhu said with an honest smile.

"Haha, that's not necessary. I, Guo Daxian, will no longer be the master of this cottage. However, if I have something to do here, I need your full help, brother."

Guo Daxian shook his head slightly and chuckled.

"What does the elder brother want the younger brother to do? But there's no harm in talking."

Tie Zhu asked, patting his chest.

"We are on this trip because we promised Lord Zhu..."

Guo Daxian told Tiezhu what he wanted to do when he went up the mountain this time.

"Brother, you...have you all taken refuge with the government?"

Tie Zhu's expression suddenly changed, he subconsciously took a few steps back, exclaimed, and slowly moved his hand towards the handle of the knife, as if he wanted to fight with Guo Daxian and the others.

The expressions of the dozen or so people behind Tiezhu also changed drastically, and they all looked at Guo Daxian and the others with unkind eyes.

It can be seen from this that Tiezhu and the others have a sworn hatred against the government. Even if they hear just one sentence, their expressions will change so drastically.

"Brother Tiezhu, don't worry. We didn't seek refuge with the government. We just made a deal with Mr. Zhu from the government. After we help him capture Huya Village, he will let us go. Otherwise, we brothers will still be here at this moment.

You’re going to suffer in jail!”

Guo Daxian also didn't expect that Tiezhu would have such a big reaction after so many years. He was so frightened that he hurriedly explained to avoid misunderstanding.

"Brother Guo, would you also believe the words of the court dog officer?"

Tie Zhu was dubious and sneered disdainfully.

"Well, people have to bow their heads when they are under the eaves. And in my opinion, Mr. Zhu is different from other officials. At least until now, several months have passed, and I haven't heard any common people say that.

His bad words.”

Guo Daxian smiled bitterly.

"Okay, since this matter is related to the freedom of Brother Guo, you and all the brothers, I will help you no matter what I say."

Tiezhu hesitated for a while, but chose to believe Guo Daxian's words. After all, his life was saved by Guo Daxian, and there was no reason for Guo Daxian to lie to him.

"Brother, I heard from brother Tiezhu that Yan Bao went to call for help. This is a God-given opportunity!" After seeing that the relationship between the two parties had eased, Lao Hei dared to step forward and express his idea, "Let's hide it."

In this secret passage, let Brother Tiezhu bring Yan Bao and others in. When the time comes, we will take action and capture Yan Bao, and then we can hold Yan Bao hostage, open the mountain gate, and let the officers and soldiers outside come in."

"Okay, let's do what Lao Hei said. I wonder if brother Tiezhu is willing to help me this time. When the matter is completed, we brothers will go home to celebrate the New Year together and will never do this evil business from now on."

Guo Daxian asked with sincerity.

"Little brother, I obey!"

Tie Zhu quickly clasped his fists and agreed.

Then Guo Daxian and others began to deploy, waiting for Yan Bao and others to arrive.

Not long after, Yan Bao left and returned outside the courtyard, this time bringing around twenty people with him.

I saw Yan Bao looking at Tie Zhu coldly and laughing: "Brother Tie Zhu, can the leader of this village enter this courtyard now?"

"Since the leader of the village is here in person, how dare my subordinates refuse to let me go? Master of the village, please!"

Tie Zhu turned aside, stretched out his hand to guide him, and laughed softly.

"Oh? Why did Brother Tiezhu realize it after just a while?" Yan Bao is cautious by nature. The momentum shown by Tiezhu and the others just now is not comparable to ordinary people. Although he has brought about twenty people with him now, he is not

As for Tiezhu having such a change.

Even Shan Niu on the side looked at it for a moment. He knew Tiezhu's temperament. He wanted to come here to have a fight. After defeating Tiezhu, it should be the direction of the development of the matter. But let him

Unexpectedly, Tie Zhu actually gave way. Shan Niu hurriedly walked to Tie Zhu. After taking a closer look at Tie Zhu's appearance, he wondered: "It's you Tie Zhu. I thought someone had changed?"

"Hmph, I know I can't do it, so why should I lead these brothers behind me to die together? Although I, Tie Zhu, am stubborn, I can still see the reality clearly."

Tie Zhu had a cold face, and his eyes were filled with disdain and disgust. Even if the mountain ox came to him, he would involuntarily take a few steps back and distance himself from it before replying.

"Haha, look at Brother Tiezhu, you speak well, your words are well-founded, and you are neither humble nor overbearing. You are a good man. I will remember you. Let's do this. From now on, brother Tiezhu, just stay with me!"

To be honest, Yan Bao is also very disgusted by Shan Niu's behavior. However, it is the time for Shanzhai to hire people, so he can barely bear the temper and use them for a while. Yan Bao appreciates Tie Zhu's character very much.

, and immediately became interested in wooing him.

"Oh, brother Tiezhu, when you become famous in the future, don't forget me."

After listening to Yan Bao's words, Shan Niu's eyes flashed with envy and jealousy, then he changed his face and smiled.

"Thank you, village master, for your love!"

Tie Zhu ignored Shan Niu at all, hugged Yan Bao and stood there quietly without speaking.

"Very good! That's right. Brother Tiezhu, can you tell me what's going on in this courtyard with the leader of the village? Why do you have to guard it all year round and not let others get close? The leader of the village is very curious!"

Although Yan Bao was suspicious of Tie Zhu's abnormal behavior, he was still very happy after taking Tie Zhu away. For a while, he was not busy going to check what was going on in the yard, and planned to get closer to Tie Zhu first.

"Brother Guo discovered this cave three years ago. Later, Brother Guo found someone to dig a secret tunnel. There is a lake at the bottom of the mountain, which leads directly to the Shangbei River in the north of Shangtai Mountain, but..."

When Tie Zhu said this, he paused subconsciously, "But what?" Seeing Tie Zhu stop, Yan Bao asked in confusion: "We are all brothers, there is no need to be secretive."

"But the lake is several feet deep and more than three hundred feet long. You need to hold your breath and dive to swim out. If you force yourself into the water, your life may be in danger."

Tie Zhu replied truthfully.

"My dear, it's three hundred feet, nearly one mile. No wonder so many brothers disappeared. Did they die in this lake?"

The mountain ox was stunned. Although he was good at water, he was also frightened by the terrifying distance.

"Oh? Is there such a dangerous place? Then we have to go and see it with our own eyes." A trace of disappointment flashed in Yan Bao's eyes, and then he returned to normal and asked with a smile: "I wonder if Brother Tiezhu would like to lead the way? Let's go together.

Go and have a look.”

"Follow your orders!" Tiezhu fisted after hearing the words, and then stretched out his hand to say, "Please come with me, Lord of the village!"

A group of more than 30 people walked into the cave, and suddenly a cold wind hit them. The mountain cow shuddered suddenly and cursed: "It's too cold here. Who dares to go into the water?"

"Mountain Cow, do you want to go into the water and swim out?"

Tie Zhu was attentive and asked in surprise.

"Alas, it's not because of the officers and soldiers outside the mountain, we..."

Before Shan Niu finished speaking, Yan Bao interrupted him and said: "Okay, okay, we just came to take a look. Besides, it's so cold here. Who wants to go into the water? Then we won't freeze to death in it."

?”

"Brother Tiezhu, how long is this secret passage?"

This cave was so dark that it was difficult to see very far even with a torch. The stone stairs were narrow and spiraled down the inside of the mountain wall. Yan Bao was walking, when suddenly something clicked in his heart, and he began to feel flustered. He didn't know why.

Why is this so? Yan Bao looked around in confusion and asked casually.
