Lord: Start with a book of Water Margin

Chapter 529 Taking advantage of the situation
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Yu Yulin replied, "To be honest, my lord, Uncle Wu Li is different from the rest of us. He is a wealthy and powerful man. He is good at using spears and sticks, his arms are as strong as a thousand pounds, he is good at shooting a hard bow, and he is used to using a fifty-pound heavy sword. Tian Hu knew that his younger sister was very beautiful, so he married her and made Wu Li a Privy Councilor, and therefore called him Uncle Wu Li."

Zhao Zhen asked again: "I heard that there is a daughter in his mansion who is not only proficient in martial arts, but also has a magical skill. She can throw stones and hit birds with her hands, and she never misses. Recently, people call her Qiong Shitou."

Yu Yulin replied, "Yes, the uncle once said in public that his daughter is very amazing. She is only 28 years old and she is a girl who never leaves the house. But she dreamed that a god taught her martial arts. She is proficient in using spears, knives, swords, halberds, sticks, clubs, forks and palladiums. She caused a sensation in Weisheng City and everyone called her [Qiong Shitou]."

"However, I heard that his daughter is not his biological daughter. She was abducted by Wu Li in Mianshan, Jiexiu. Because she was pretty, he kept her by his side. Now she has been named a princess by Tian Hu."

Zhao Zhen and the others heard this and looked at Zhang Qing who was standing aside and said, "Brother Zhang Qing, now that we have found out everything, I will ask Brother Dai Zong to go and make secret contact under the guise of delivering a letter. If he can bring back some words, we will make plans. How about that?"

After hearing this, Zhang Qing had no choice but to nod.

I never thought that Qiongying would become a fake princess now. I am afraid that she is also a famous bandit now. I am afraid that both of us will perish together. However, the two of them are thousands of miles apart and have no place to use their strength.

Zhang Qing sighed and said, "My husband, you have heard that Qiongying is in a dangerous situation and has no choice but to play along. If she survives, I will need you to take her in in the future."

After that, Zhang Qing led Ding Desun and Gong Wang out of the camp to patrol.

Zhao Zhen then said to Yu Lin: "Since you are sincere in submitting, I cannot turn you away. But my place is different from other places. Officials and generals must not harm the people, but protect the local peace. Can you do it?"

"Sir, I became a bandit just to save my life. If you take care of me, I would never dare to harm the people." Yu Yulin said.

Zhao Zhen sent Yu Yulin to serve as a deputy general in Wang Tianba's army first, and then he would be resettled after the Qingzhou bandits were wiped out.

Yu Yulin was overjoyed to see that Zhao Zhen did not care about his status as a rebel and made him a deputy general in the army as soon as he arrived. He thanked him repeatedly.

After settling Yu Yulin, Zhao Zhen looked at Liu Hui Niang. When Liu Hui Niang saw him, she asked the female rider serving in the tent to call the people from Yidu City who had been waiting for a long time.

The man entered the big tent, saw Zhao Zhen, took off the veil on his head, and calmly bowed his hands in greeting, saying: "I am Lai Yong'er. Today I am lucky enough to finally meet you in person."

Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said, "You have come here, leader, but have you agreed to my conditions?"

Lai Yong'er said, "We are all from the same background, and you and Brother Gongming are from the same village. Why do you have to force us?" Zhao Zhen said, "I am an official, and you are a bandit. It is natural for officials to suppress bandits. Moreover, when you were fighting against the Qingzhou siege, I sold you armor and weapons. After you broke through Qingzhou and plundered the local area, I did not do anything to stop you. Now the court is not happy with my delay and is attacking me openly or secretly. What can I do?"

Lai Yonger heard this and said, "Sir, there is a saying that goes, when the birds are gone, the good bows are put away, and when the cunning rabbits are dead, the running dogs are cooked. If we are defeated, will the court allow you to become powerful?"

Zhao Zhen said, "That's a matter for the future. For now, I have to wipe you out so that I can report to the court."

Lai Yonger saw that Zhao Zhen was unmoved, so he sighed and said, "Sir, maybe I can meet Brother Cui Hao?"

Zhao Zhen said, "Don't worry, Chief. Cui Hao is a man of honor. I have tried to persuade him to surrender, but he refused. I know he is so loyal that I cannot harm him. Now he has asked me to imprison him in the tent, and he is getting fat with plenty of food and wine every day."

As he said this, he asked someone to bring Yong'er to meet Cui Hao from a distance.

"How?" Zhao Zhen asked.

Lai Yong'er said, "The great lord is indeed a man of honor. I have seen the Cui Hao brothers. However, they want 10,000 strings of cash each, which is too much. How can they get so many gold and pearls at once?"

Zhao Zhen laughed loudly and pointed at Lai Yong'er, saying, "You can't fool me. You have robbed so many prefectures and killed so many wealthy people. Do you think a mere 10,000 taels of gold is worth anything?"

Lai Yonger heard this and stopped quibbling. He asked, "When will the great master release the Cui Hao brothers?"

Zhao Zhen said: "Just as the leader said, I am also worried that the court will destroy the bridge after crossing the river, so I don't want to attack the city to avoid heavy casualties. I am afraid you have the same idea now."

"I can make the decision about Cui Hao. I will neither kill him nor send him to Bianjing to ask for merit. I will release him after you have recruited him."

"Recruitment? What amnesty? Sir, are you going to recruit us?" Lai Yong'er said in shock.

Zhao Zhen said, "Here, leader, I also have spies in Bianjing. You have a brother named Fei Lian Huangfu Xiong, right? Didn't he go to Bianjing? Gao Lian, who was still fighting in front, was personally taken to the Taiwei Mansion."

Lai Yonger heard this and said with an unchanged expression: "It seems that we can't hide it from the great official. We are indeed planning to seek amnesty, and the great official also knows that we have no other way to go now. We can only bribe Gao Qiu with money to save our lives. In this way, the gold and silver are not enough to use. Brothers, we will pool our money together and pay for the ten thousand strings of gold and pearls."

Zhao Zhen said, "That's the best. There is another [Mao Tou Xing] Kong Ming, who is on his way here, and he also has 10,000 strings of gold and pearls. I will support the two of them, but you have to send the gold and silver first, so that you don't break your promise after you recruit them."

Lai Yonger nodded helplessly: "Since the great lord knows that we are seeking amnesty, I wonder if the daily artillery fire can be stopped?"

Zhao Zhen hesitated and said, "This..."

"We are willing to pay thirty thousand strings of gold beads in exchange for a one-month truce from the sir." Lai Yong'er said.

Zhao Zhen heard this and said with a smile, "We are all from humble origins, so I will agree to your request. In addition, I can also allow 300 people in the city to go out of the city to collect firewood every day, but no one can be missing when they return. I will not stop Huangfu Xiong from returning, but you and other subordinates cannot leave the city."
