My subconscious urge was to burst into a tirade.

But before she could finish speaking,

Before he could even utter a sound,

Rose covered her mouth.

 (bica) "Quiet! Look over there!"

Mint looked in the direction Rose was pointing.

On the wall beside the courtyard,

It was peeking its head out and looking into the yard.

"That's... Leader Zhu?"

Mint immediately recognized the other person's identity.

They stayed on Liangshan Mountain for more than two months.

Even if the five men, master and servants, were not familiar with the leaders of Liangshan, they had at least met before.

And Zhu Fu and his brothers also had Li Kui.

They are all from Yizhou.

They were from the same hometown as Gaoliang and the others.

Naturally, I'm more familiar with it.

"Rose, Buddha's Hand, you two go and guard the door,"

Gao Liang whispered the instructions.

"Osmanthus, Mint, watch your surroundings!"

Instruct the four maids to keep an eye on the surroundings.

To avoid being discovered by the servants of the summoned household,

Gaoliang then hurriedly walked to the foot of the courtyard wall.

"Ladies of the Gao family, were you forcibly kept here by Zhao Xin?"

Zhu Fu on the wall asked,

"Do you need me to get you out of here?"

"My father is still in Zhao Xin's hands. Chief Zhao and the others outside the city are helping me search for my father's whereabouts."

Sorghum replied in a low voice,

"I cannot leave this place until I find my father's whereabouts."

“So that’s how it is…”

Zhu Fugang nodded.

Then Gaoliang said again,

"Chief Zhu, you must find a way to tell Chief Zhao,"

“Zhao Xin harbored ill intentions towards Liangshan; he summoned me from Zhao Family Village,”

"It's all to use my martial arts skills to deal with the leaders of Liangshan!"

"what?"

These words naturally surprised Zhu Fu.

Because we were in the courtyard before,

Zhao Xin wept bitterly as she recounted her story.

Although Zhu Fu did not completely trust him,

But also his surrender,

There's always a bit of anticipation.

After all, there was a city governor acting as an inside man.

Liangshan captured Yizhou Prefecture.

That's a piece of cake!

Who knew that in the blink of an eye,

His wish was dashed!

Compared to Zhao Xin,

Zhu Fu naturally preferred sorghum.

"Don't worry, Madam Gao, I'll inform the chieftain of this news immediately!"

......

That night,

Zhao Yuan, who was outside the city, received a secret letter from Zhu Fu sent from the east gate.

After reading it,

He couldn't help but sneer.

"This Zhao Xin is indeed harboring malicious intentions!"

"What's wrong, Chieftain?"

Sun An inquired,

"But what new plan has this new military commander come up with to deal with our mountain stronghold?"

"This guy is trying to feign surrender,"

Zhao Yuan handed over the secret letter in his hand with a disgruntled expression.

It was handed to Sun An.

After all the leaders had read it,

He then asked,

"Everyone is welcome to speak their mind."

"Brother, what else is there to say!"

Li Kui immediately shouted,

"Of course, we should immediately send troops to attack the city and kill this bastard!"

"Chief, in my opinion, we should turn the tables on them,"

After thinking for a moment, Sun An made a suggestion.

"Since this fellow is feigning surrender, he must be trying to lure the Liangshan soldiers into the barbican and then ambush and kill them..."

Chapter 545 In the dead of night, when setting fire

"And because of the night raid by the government troops the day before yesterday, there are now only three thousand soldiers left in Yizhou Prefecture."

Sun An said with a smile,

“If Zhao Xin wants to ambush us, he will definitely have most of his soldiers lying in ambush at the city gate somewhere.”

"Why don't we turn the tables on them!"

"While sending one detachment to feign hostility, another detachment will be dispatched to launch a surprise attack on other city gates!"

"Caught off guard, the Yizhou government troops will surely be able to capture the city in one fell swoop!"

"good idea!"

Lin Chong couldn't help but clap his hands in praise.

"Brother, let's do as Brother Sun An says."

Zhao Yuan pondered for a moment,

He nodded.

"Excellent! Let's proceed according to Brother Sun An's plan!"

......

With Zhao Yuan's approval,

Han Bolong took advantage of the darkness,

The decision regarding Liangshan must be made immediately.

The message was relayed back to Yizhou Prefecture.

Zhu Fu and Li Yun opened the secret letter.

After seeing that Zhao Yuan had actually agreed to summon Xinde to surrender,

The two couldn't help but exchange bewildered glances.

"What happened? Didn't you report to Liangshan that Zhao Xin was problematic?"

Blue-Eyed Tiger asked in surprise,

"How could Chief Zhao agree to let him surrender?"

"I don't know either,"

Zhu Fu shook his head.

"In my heart, I have already made everything clear."

"How could this happen?"

Li Yun raised his hand and patted the wooden pillar next to him heavily.

“Master, the chieftain usually has his reasons for doing things.”

Zhu Fu said confidently,

"The chieftain must have some kind of plan for doing this."

"If you really have any plans, you should at least let us know,"

Li Yun said with a somewhat helpless expression,

"Could it be that Chief Zhao doesn't trust you and me?"

"Master, how is this possible!"

Knowing that Blue-Eyed Tiger had never worked as a spy,

Zhu Fu didn't take his idea seriously.

He just smiled and explained,

"The chieftain didn't write the plan in the letter, probably because he was worried that the secret letter would fall into the hands of the government."

"Since the chieftain agreed to Zhao Xin's surrender in the letter, we should just do as he says."

.........

After receiving Zhao Yuan's reply,

That evening, Zhu Fu went to the small courtyard where Zhao Xin had met them during the day.

The servants of the Zhao family remained in the small courtyard.

After hearing Zhu Fu say that he wanted to meet Zhao Xin,

The servant ushered Zhu Fu into the courtyard.

He hurriedly sent someone to summon Xinde's residence to inform him.

Zhu Fugang sat in the courtyard for less than fifteen minutes.

Zhao Xin then rushed over in a hurry.
