"Your Majesty, you don't have to take the risk. Leave these matters to me." Jing Ke probed.
"There's no need to say anything else. I just want to see these thieves and the legendary Tile Ridge Mountain. Besides, zhen is not going as the emperor. Isn't Zhong Jian familiar with Shan Xiong Xin? I will go and meet these thieves as a good friend of Zhongjian. He wanted to see if Great Sui had done a good job, but he had to go and become a bandit.”Yang Guang said.
Seeing that they could not persuade the Emperor, the guards did not say anything more and were on guard.
Jing Ke and his brothers were even more indifferent. They were confident that the world was vast and there was nowhere they could not go. They were just a few bandits and would definitely be able to protect the Emperor. Therefore, he did not advise her anymore.
After everyone was done packing up, Yang Guang led the curly-bearded guest, the red horsetail whisk girl siblings, and the guards to charge towards the tiled hill. The guards distributed the horses to the Curly Beard brother and sister. The Curly Beard brother was a big shot in the Jianghu, so riding a horse was naturally not a problem. To Yang Guang's surprise, Zhang Chuchen's riding skills were also extraordinary. Everyone rode at full speed and arrived at the periphery of the Tile Hill at noon. There was nothing magnificent from afar.
"What are you guys doing?" The patrolling soldiers of the Tile Mound Army saw dozens of people and quickly rushed over to ask.
"I'm here to pay a visit to your Second Chief. Tell him that your old friend Zhang Zhongjian is here to visit.”The bearded guest said.
"Alright, wait a moment. I'll go report to the second head.”The small fry got up and went to the back of the mountain to report, leaving a team of people to monitor everyone.
A moment later, a troop of military horses arrived. The man and horse in front were very majestic. The man on the horse immediately jumped off the horse and ran towards Zhang Zhongjian.
Yang Guang looked carefully at the person who came. He was ten feet tall, with a face like a spiritual officer, a green face and red beard, wearing a black scarf with ten thousand words, a lotus robe and black boots with foundation. This was Shan Xiong Xin, he was indeed mighty and extraordinary. Yang Guang nodded secretly. It seemed that his reputation was not for nothing!
"Big Brother Zhang, what brings you here? I haven't seen you for a few years and I miss you so much!”Shan Xiong Xin hugged the bearded guest passionately. Shan Xiong Xin admired Zhang Zhongjian's martial arts.
"Brother Shan, long time no see.”The curly-bearded guest replied, briefly recounting the past. It was all instructed by Yang Guang in advance.
Hearing that the curly-bearded guest had committed a lawsuit in the Yangzhou Prefecture and came here to settle down, Shan Xiong Xin was overjoyed. He was very clear about the curly-bearded guest's abilities. He had incredible skills on horseback and on foot.
Shan Xiong Xin turned to look at Yang Guang. He only felt that this person had an extraordinary bearing and a noble aura. Looking down, the dozen or so people were all agile. "Brother Zhang, who are these brothers?"”
Zhang Zhongjian followed Yang Guang's instructions and said,""These are some of my good friends in the martial world. They came with me to rely on the Second Leader.”
Zhang Zhongjian was a big shot in Jianghu, and his reputation and loyalty were praised by others. Shan Xiong did not doubt him. He immediately led everyone into his own stronghold and ordered his subordinates to arrange food and wine. He wanted to get drunk with these new friends.
The curly-bearded guest glanced at Yang Guang, indicating what to do next. Should he kill them or persuade them to surrender? Yang Guang nodded slightly at him, indicating that he should take things as they come and wait and see.
"Ding! Releasing a short-term mission: Persuade Shan Xiong Xin to submit to the host. Reward: 300 Overlord Points.”The system suddenly sounded.
Isn't this giving me a difficult problem? In history, Shan Xiong Xin didn't even surrender to Li Shi Min, so how can I surrender to him? Yang Guang complained to the system and lowered his head to think of a countermeasure.
Soon, the food and wine were ready. Shan Xiong Xin was worthy of being a wealthy man in Shandong. He drank cup after cup with the curly-bearded guest and then toasted Yang Guang a few more times. Yang Guang drank it happily. After three rounds of wine, Shan Xiong Xin was drunk and said to the bearded guest,"Brother Zhang, you and I are kindred spirits. Although we haven't seen each other much in the past few years, I still have some heartfelt words to tell you.”
The bearded guest glanced at Yang Guang and said,""Brother Shan, please speak."
Shan Xiong Xin smiled bitterly and shook his head."Now that the world is at peace, the four seas are at peace, and His Majesty is a wise ruler, opening the Grand Canal and conquering Goguryeo, he is a first-rate ruler in both culture and martial arts.”
Yang Guang looked at Shan Xiong Xin in surprise. Could it be that Shan Xiong Xin was hiding something? It seemed possible to persuade him to surrender.
The curly-bearded guest was also a little surprised. He didn't expect Shan Xiong Xin to advise him not to be a bandit. This was to test his sincerity in surrendering. He probed,"Brother Shan, why do you say that? Everyone was eating meat and drinking wine together. Moreover, I heard that Chief Zhai Rang and his brothers are kind and Brother Shan is also very bullied. Why would you say this?!”
Shan Xiong Xin picked up the wine cup and drank it in one gulp. He let out a long breath and continued to speak to the bearded guest,"Brother Zhang, do you think I'm willing to fall into the grass? "Although my Shan family is not an official for generations, we are still a large family in Shandong. I originally lived a carefree life in Juxian Village and only wanted to live a peaceful life. However, when he was drunk, he accidentally injured someone and was locked up in the Yamen to wait for trial. He thought that at most he would be banished to the army, nothing serious. However, Zhai Rang did not allow me to say anything and smashed the prison cell overnight to save me up the mountain. He even brought my mother here. I had no choice but to become a bandit, but even if I had other methods, I couldn't take this wrong path. Destroy your own future!"
The curly-bearded guest saw that Shan Xiong Xin seemed to be regretful, but he did not understand the Emperor's intentions. He looked at Shan Xiong Xin and asked what to do next.
Yang Guang raised his wine cup and said to Dan Xiong Xin,"I have heard about Second Brother Dan's loyalty for a long time. Now that I've seen it, it really lives up to its reputation."
Shan Xiong Xin was slightly surprised. He thought, I'm just a bandit, where have you heard of me?
Yang Guang knew that Shan Xiong Xin had doubts, so he said in his heart that he had heard about it from storytelling in his previous life. Ignoring Shan Xiong Xin's astonishment, he continued,""From Second Brother Dan's words, it seems that he regrets the matter of falling into the weeds. But from what I know, not long ago, you robbed a batch of official rations at the foot of the mountain.”If Shan Xiong Xin really took the initiative to rob them, Yang Guang was not prepared to forgive him.
Shan Xiong Xin was even more surprised. How did the other side know that he had robbed the grain? It had only happened a few days ago, and news of it had already spread to Yangzhou?
Shan Xiong Xin explained to Yang Guang," I was saved by Zhai Rang and was brought into the mountain. Zhai Rang thought that he could make contributions and asked me to go down the mountain to steal food. I didn't agree at first, but Zhai Rang threatened my mother, so I had no choice.”
So there was such a secret, it seemed that it was not difficult to persuade Shan Xiong Xin, Yang Guang thought, Damn it! The system was giving him experience points.
