Lu Cunxiao sternly said: "What's going on, you tell me clearly." He clenched the battle ax in his hand, and his eyes showed a stern look.

"Boss Lu, those girls in Piaoxiang Peak are all women from good families snatched from outside." Under Lu Cunxiao's persecution, Zhang Niu broke into a cold sweat: "Those girls were sent to Piaoxiang Peak and locked up in the cave. It is used to reward those who have done meritorious service."

"Are they all girls from good families?" Lu Cunxiao sternly asked.

Zhang Niu nodded and said: "General Qiu knows that Boss Lu is jealous and won't attack the common people, so General Qiu arranges our Xiangyun Peak's affairs to deal with other bandits, or let us rob the government office. We are not allowed to plunder the people. But the men and horses of other peaks, who are in charge of food and grass, can only rob the people, and by the way snatch the women from good families and bring them back to the mountain. We all know about this, but everyone knows your character. I dare not even tell you."

"Then why did you lie to me, saying that the girl from Piaoxiang Peak is a prostitute who voluntarily went up the mountain?"

Zhang Niu smiled bitterly and said, "Boss, think about it for yourself. Even if they are prostitutes, who are willing to go up to the mountain to be prostitutes? People who have been to Piaoxiang Peak will be warned when they leave. The girl is a prostitute, and it is necessary to prove that the so-called temporarily resident girls live separately from those prostitutes... In fact, Piaoxiang Peak is all girls from good families, and they have never lived separately. They are all locked up in the mountains. The longer the time, the girls there, choose and play at will... just because you have never touched these things, otherwise you only need to go up the mountain once, and you will understand everything."

Lu Cunxiao was stunned, his body swayed, and the battle ax in his hand fell to the ground.

Zhang Niu sighed: "At the beginning when we went up the mountain, we said we were going to resist the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty. At that time, I always had this idea in mind. From the scene there, I knew that General Qiu was not as heroic as we imagined. It was just that I was confused at the time. After Feng, don't talk nonsense, we know that if you know the truth, you will definitely scold us, so... everyone didn't tell you the truth...!"

Lu Cunxiao suddenly raised his hand, slapped himself, and said dejectedly: "I am stupid. I am in it, but I don't know that there is such a thing in the mountains."

Mother Lu stared at Lu Cunxiao, and said calmly: "Even if you don't know this, but you have been helping General Qiu, those girls have fallen to this point, and you are unforgivable."

Lu Cunxiao turned around and knelt down in front of Lu's mother again, "Mother, the child is not filial, helping the evildoer... No matter how you ask the child to atone for his sins, the child will do as you want, even if it is death!"

Lu's mother turned to Chu Huan and said, "Master Chu, the dog has committed a lot of crimes, and you have to deal with how to punish it."

"Mother, he is a member of the government, and my son will never let him go." Lu Cunxiao immediately said: "It is true that General Qiu has disappointed my son, but... my son will never compromise with Qin officials."

"Compromise?" Chu Huan did not wait for Lu's mother to speak, and smiled lightly: "Lu Cunxiao, the governor came to ask you, who is more beneficial to the people than you and me in Xiguan?"

Lu Cunxiao opened his mouth, but did not speak.

"The governor knows that you want to seek justice for the people of Xiguan." Chu Huan said earnestly: "Actually, the governor doesn't think there is anything wrong with your original intention, but the way you are walking, the governor thinks it is a big mistake. Wrong, do you think that you can give justice to the people by going up the mountain to follow General Qiu and fight against the government? But you have also seen the fact that although there are indeed some corrupt officials in the imperial court who oppress and exploit the people, they will not kill them all. The targets of exploitation are those gangsters who pretend to do justice for the heavens, but what they do is against the heavens, in order to rob the people and kill them all, without mercy."

Lu Cunxiao's cheeks puffed up, but he just looked at Chu Huan and didn't speak.

"The rogues are everywhere, how much harm does it really do to the government?" Chu Huan sighed softly: "A group of mobs are just targets for the government. If the rogues want to survive and preserve their strength, they must have money, food and equipment, and a lot of manpower and material resources , These, do you think it is really possible to get them from the government? In the end, they were not snatched from the common people. Huluzhai is the most powerful bandit in Xiguan Road, but it is not the opponent of the government. , How much ability do you have to snatch things from the government? General Qiu wants to snatch things from the people, let alone other rogues. You fight the government, but the people who are really tormenting you are only the people of Xiguan.”

"I never thought of poisoning the people." Lu Cunxiao finally sighed.

"I know you don't have that kind of thought, but although Boren was not killed by you, he died because of you." Chu Huan said solemnly: "You joined General Qiu and fueled his arrogance, which gave Huluzhai the strength to torture him more. There are so many people... Lu Cunxiao, you have to admit this. When the governor came to Xiguan, he sighed at night, knowing that the people of Xiguan have suffered too much, so he tried his best to let the people live a better life, but you just You and I don’t have to argue about what is right and what is wrong, you just need to find a few people at random and ask them, and you will know the clue, and see if the people are praising the government or your gourd village.”

Lu Cunxiao was thoughtful, silent for a while, and finally asked: "Is General Qiu really the kind of person you said?" Turning to Lu's mother, he said: "Mother, do you remember that it was General Qiu when we almost starved to death? He sent us food, if he really poisoned the people, why would he help us?"

"To put it bluntly, it's actually very simple." Chu Huan asked, "Lingtang told me that before you went up the mountain, several villages were robbed by bandits. A team to protect several villages."

Lu Cunxiao sneered and said: "The bandits are coming, the government can't control them, we have to save ourselves."

Chu Huan smiled and nodded: "It is said that there were two groups of bandits who went to those villages without knowing their depth, but they were wiped out by the team you led. Both groups of bandits suffered heavy casualties and fled. It is already very loud, and those bandits are very afraid when they hear your name."

Lu Cunxiao's eyes showed pride.

"Since your reputation is spread among the bandits, General Qiu must have heard of your bravery." Chu Huan said slowly: "General Qiu is not an ordinary bandit, he is more scheming than others. , Huluzhai wants to grow, in addition to money and equipment, it naturally needs talents. You are dissatisfied with the government, but you are brave and good at fighting. Could it be that General Qiu can't make up your mind? The other rogues are afraid of you and dare not invade your village again Why can't General Qiu find a way to win you over?"

Lu Cunxiao's eyes flickered.

"You are not stupid, think about it for yourself, why did General Qiu not help other common people, but instead help you?" Chu Huan said slowly: "You, Lu Cunxiao, are brave and have hundreds of people under your command. With some food, I can collect you for my own use, this deal is really a good deal.”

Lu Cunxiao said: "You mean, the purpose of General Qiu's donation of food is to make us rely on him?"

"At least that's how it turned out." Chu Huan said with a smile: "He helped you, and you did go up the mountain to be driven by him." He sighed softly: "Perhaps you are just some flags that can be used in his heart. Just like the situation this time, he can break through alone without any suspense, and thousands of brothers can leave as soon as they say, if it is you Lu Cunxiao, what will happen?"

Lu Cunxiao bent down, picked up the giant ax that fell on the ground, stared into Chu Huan's eyes and said, "No matter what, the matter has come to an end, so it's useless to talk too much. Chu Huan, I'm not taking advantage of others, you can go now , take your men and horses, just kill them."

Chu Huan said helplessly: "As far as I know, there are still nearly 2000 people in the Sunset Village. If you really want to continue fighting, the Governor will not show mercy. I can also guarantee that when I capture the Sunset Village, no one will be left behind." A living."

Lu Cunxiao laughed and said, "Are you threatening me?"

"I'm just telling the truth." Chu Huan said lightly: "This governor will never be merciful to the unrepentant bandits who cause harm to the people." Staring at Lu Cunxiao's eyes, he said slowly: "This governor is very clear. There is no grain storage in Sunset Peak, and Ben Du's troops far exceed yours. You have no hope of breaking out of the siege. Ben Du doesn't need to attack. As long as the siege goes on, you will starve to death within half a month... Ben Du searched from the mountain When there is a large amount of grain and grass, there is no need to mobilize the grain and grass, as long as the grain and grass are used, it is enough to support the soldiers and horses for a long time."

The corners of Lu Cunxiao's eyes twitched, he knew that Chu Huan was telling the truth.

"The governor just wants to ask you now, do you really want these thousands of people to starve to death like this?" Chu Huan said calmly, "The governor already knows that although there are thousands of people gathered in Huluzhai, many The people who went up the mountain just wanted to make a living, and they didn't intend to turn the weeds into bandits. Although there were people who poisoned the people among them, most of them didn't do any evil things. After all, behind you, there are many who are just Do you really want these people to die in Sunset Village with you in order to make a living for the common people who have to go up the mountain?" After a pause, he added, "For that cruel, ruthless, despicable and shameless General Qiu?"

Lu's mother finally said: "Xiao'er, you have already made a mistake once, and you can't make another mistake."

Lu Cunxiao walked to Lu's mother, was silent for a while, and finally asked: "Chu Huan, what do you think?"

Chu Huan stared at Lu Cunxiao, and said calmly: "The governor said that a person is not afraid of doing wrong things, but he is afraid of doing bad things. After doing bad things, he can't turn back, but if he does wrong things, he can correct them. You are doing wrong things, not doing things. I will give you a chance to correct the bad things... Lu Cunxiao, you already know the true face of General Qiu. This is not me fabricating a lie to slander him. Lingtang has also seen the tragic truth. Don't be obsessed with it anymore. For the sake of the people of Xiguan, surrender Already!"
