Chapter 060 Signal

Two to two, two to three, three to four... The time and place of Lin Zimo and Zhou Long's meeting were finally determined. Wang Qiang, who came back safely, brought back a big news to his master, that is, Sun Liujin and the mountain thief Lao Wu are determined to work together, hoping to completely eliminate their great master Zhou Long with the help of the government.

They calculated and calculated the past, and determined that the two took the most risks, the most suffered, and contributed the most... However, after they accepted the imperial court's recruitment in the future, they could not share their respective interests. After a secret discussion, the two people agreed to kill the other leaders in the cottage, and then they led the mountain thieves down the mountain to return to the court and share the glory and wealth given to them by the court.

Zhou Long's repetition and caution really made Lin Zimo almost lose patience and determined that the other party was not a good role to deal with. He knew that he was a mountain thief who designed Erlong Mountain in the name of Zhao'an of the imperial court. If this news blows into the ears of Fang Shiren and others, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat it.

Lin Zimo, who has weighed the pros and cons, is determined to get rid of some of the mountain thieves. As long as they can destroy their living forces, they will increase their chances of winning and reduce casualties for the future attack on Erlong Mountain. What's the situation? He has to make a final determination by the Erlong Mountain stream where he met with Zhou Long. However, nominally, Lin Zimo agreed to the proposal of Sun Liujin and the mountain thief Lao Wu, and sent someone to bring this sentence to them safely.

On the day of the talks, the sky lit up, and the gate was just opened. Lin Zimo personally led his own Wolf Tooth Guard to pour out. He and the eight members of the Wolf Tooth Guard brought their own weapons and were psychologically prepared to fight to the death. The departure of the nine people is unpredictable, and no one can guarantee that there will be no accident. In addition, their common point is that they are not afraid of death.

Before going out, Lin Zimo did not tell Yang Mengqi the truth, but as an excuse to hunt in the mountains. I don't want her to worry too much. Every time he does something extremely dangerous, she always takes a bath, puts on plain makeup, and then sends her father-in-law very formally. The implication of all this is that the husband and wife are of the same heart, living in the same bed, and dying in the same hole. Since Lin Zimo can't come back alive, Yang Mengqi will not live alone in this world.

Lin Zimo takes the lead, and his left and right sides are Wang Qiang and Gao Xiang respectively. Behind the three were six other members of the Wolf Tooth Guard. A total of nine of them rode horses all the way to the stream at the foot of Erlong Mountain. After half a day's journey, they arrived at the place where they made an appointment to meet with Zhou Long. One hour early, they turned over and got off their horses to rest invariably.

When Lin Zimo and nine others entered the ten-mile radius of Erlong Mountain, the detectives among the mountain thieves had already informed Zhou Long of the truth with a carrier pigeon. Zhou Long, who learned that there were no large number of officers and soldiers following Lin Zi silently, put down his doubts in his heart. He decided to personally lead more than 100 of his cronies, plus the third, the fourth and the sixth, to meet with the Lin magistrate for a while, leaving the second, the fifth, the seventh, and the eighth to stay in the cottage. The reason why I did this was more or less bewitched by the mountain thief Lao Wu.

Half an hour has passed when the two sides agreed to meet, and Zhou Long and others did not appear at the agreed place, which made Ji bald, who was a little anxious, casually asked, "Will this group of mountain thieves play with us?"

"Don't worry, be a little patient." While appeasing everyone's emotions, Lin Zimo made a final explanation: "Once you see me fanning the folding fan in your hand, then start to kill the thief. Except for what Zhou Long wanted to capture for me, all the mountain thieves he brought were killed. Don't leave me a living mouth.

The eight members of the Wolf Tooth Guard standing around stood neatly with their hands and said with one voice, "Yes."

Lin Zimo, who finished all the explanations, took the folding fan from his waist in his hand. After a quarter of an hour, I saw Zhou Long's brigade coming from afar. The eight members of the Wolf Tooth Guard have increased their vigilance and prepared for the battle. As soon as they see the signal in their master's hand, they will kill them immediately.

Zhou Long and others stopped within 20 meters of Lin Zimo, and Zhou Long, who turned over and got off the horse, said with a bright smile, "I'm very sorry, Zhou is late. I really shouldn't let Lord Lin wait. Lin Zhifu is not only a talent, but also has the courage to know others. You only bring such a few people, aren't you afraid that I will talk back?

"There, we have just arrived." Lin Zimo, who smiled, did not worry too much and said politely, "Master Zhou Zhai is really good at laughing, and you are a hero. I'm just a scholar."

The people behind Zhou Long saw that there were only nine people in total, so they naturally relaxed their vigilance. Without thinking much, they decided that the other party could not turn over any stormy waves. Even if the big master and Lin Zimo couldn't talk and wanted to turn against each other, they felt that it was easy for them to get rid of the nine people on the opposite side.

Lin Zimo, who slowly walked forward, was followed by Gao Xiang and Wang Qiang, while the other six members of the Langya Guard stood still. Except for the three big leaders behind Zhou Long, the remaining more than 100 mountain thieves did not follow. Zhou Long, who was mixed with the green forest, led the brigade down the mountain to be cautious. When I came to the appointed place to have a look, it was exactly the same as the news brought back by the carrier pigeon, so I relaxed my vigilance. At this moment, Zhou Long found that the government was so sincere, so he took a large number of brothers there, which not only lost face, but also seemed that he had no sincerity.

Lin Zimo stopped three steps away from Zhou Long and said again, "Master Zhou Zhai, it's really a pleasure to meet you."

Zhou Long, with a beard on his face, said bluntly, "Lord Lin is really polite. Since you can come here to see me, let's talk openly about the court's recruitment. As for gold, silver, wealth and silk, I, Zhou Long, don't want it at all. Of course, what we have got in the past 30 years must also be completely owned by us. Except for the pardon edict given to us by Emperor Zhu, this group of brothers must continue to follow me. As for the official position, I don't want the first or second grade. As long as you give me a third grade commander, and the leaders on my side should at least be a fifth grade thousand households!"

Lin Zimo felt that he was obviously not here to discuss and talk in detail with himself, but to give himself an ultimatum. Let's not say that the imperial court's recruitment is fake. Even if it was true, Zhou Long made such an unreasonable request, and Emperor Zhu Jianshen would not go to hell until he agreed. In his heart, he felt that he was a lion with a big mouth. Presumably, if Emperor Zhu really knew his conditions like this, he would be furious and vowed to completely destroy their group of self-righteous mountain thieves regardless of losses.

"I'm sure I can't answer you about this now." Lin Zimo said kindly, "I think your request is really... But I will forward it to you. As for how the court decided, I don't know.

"This is what the owner of this village means. If you let me make concessions, it is absolutely impossible." Zhou Long said in an irrelegotiable tone.

At this time, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Lin Zimo's original plan in silence was to deceive this group of mountain thieves down the mountain and then surround them and annihilate them. After all, they, who do not have a geographical advantage, are definitely not the opponents of Zhao Wenxuan's command. In this way, the casualties on this side will not be too large. However, the changes in the situation always can't keep up with the plan.

Lin Zimo felt that Zhou Long's requirements were not the basis and necessity to talk about it at all. Even if it's acting, you have to act like yourself. Playing with the folding fan in his hand, he is making a final thought. This time, if he puts Zhou Long and others back, I'm afraid it will take a lot of work to meet again. Not necessarily, I may not be able to see him in person for the second time.

After thinking about it, Lin Zimo looked into the distance, estimated the number of mountain thieves led by Zhou Long, and then compared the combat effectiveness between the enemy and his own side. He realized that the mountain thieves were not vigilant, and expected that they must have despised him because of the few people on his side. If you launch a sneak attack on the enemy, you still have a good chance of winning. After all, Zhou Long and other four big leaders of mountain thieves all stand in front of him and have a full chance to capture the thief and capture the king first.

"Lin Zhifu, that's my condition." Zhou Long stressed again and said carelessly, "If you can't make the decision, let the person you can make the decision come to talk to me. Since I can stay on this Erlong Mountain for more than 30 years, I'm afraid that your government will encircle and suppress us. Then again, if you can really wipe us out, you won't come to talk to me about peace.

Lin Zimo, who was not angry, continued to say perfunctorily, "Master Zhouzhai is wise. For the future and future of your brothers, I think you should make some appropriate concessions. After all, it is difficult for the court to accept such conditions as you.

"The owner of this village has said that if you can't make the decision, then you can ask your emperor to send someone who can make the decision to talk to me." Zhou Long showed an invincible expression and said, "It's okay for the officers and soldiers to bully the people. If you want to destroy us, go to dream!"

"I brought a gift for Zhou Zhaizhu, and I hope you can accept it." Lin Zimo, who pretended to be in a dilemma, suppressed his anger, turned his back to six people such as Ji Guangtou, and spread the folding fan in his hand and said, "Why don't you bring up the gift I gave to Zhou Zhai Lord quickly?"
