"Official, there is no problem for you, from the very beginning, we planned to cooperate with you to catch the dog thief surnamed Zhao.

But we have one condition, I don't know if the official can think about it? "The person in charge of this matter in the Danyang Dart Bureau is also an old employee of the Changhong Dart Bureau.

People who have not experienced Zhao Ren's killing of He Dongjia on Nanshan do not have such a deep hatred for Zhao Ren. Some of them even thought that there was no need to exterminate Zhao Ren.

After all, a green forest person of Zhao Ren's level has a lot of resources in his hands. Danyang Dart Bureau cooperated with it, and when the dart passed by Zhao Ren's territory, Zhao Ren did not use his hands to rob them, so as to maximize the interests of Danyang Dart Bureau.

Liu Ling took a sip of tea, nodded and said, "Say it out first." ”

The old dart head smiled and said: "Our conditions are very simple, as long as Zhao Ren is caught, he can be handed over to us for disposal." ”

"Nope." Liu Ling categorically refused: "Zhao Ren is still useful to us, I am afraid we can't agree to your conditions." ”

"Official, this can't be said. If it weren't for the purpose of catching Zhao Ren to avenge the owner, we wouldn't have chased him for seven years. ”

"You can change the conditions, such as asking the imperial court to recognize the legitimacy of your dart game, or asking the imperial court to give your current owner He Yu a half-official position or something.

Otherwise, it will give you some money. I can make the decision on these conditions, but I can't agree to hand over Zhao Ren to you.

Zhao Ren has been on the run for several years, and he has also colluded with the powerful people in the DPRK and China, if we don't find out the person behind him, we won't be at ease, and we are not sure how many guys like Zhao Ren are still raised outside by that person.

If you were me, I would probably make the same choice, so don't mention this matter again. Liu Ling waved his hand, and his attitude was very resolute in his words.

The old dart head looked at Liu Ling deeply, and seeing that Liu Ling's face did not change, he nodded and said, "Okay, since the official has said so, then the Danyang Dart Bureau will not participate in this operation."

Forgive the grass people for being rude, farewell! ”

After the old dart head finished speaking, he turned around and said to the men he had brought with him to leave, and the group was about to leave.

Liu Ling's face was cloudy, whether this Danyang Dart Bureau helped or not, it was not something he could intervene in. Although he is dressed in the clothes of the imperial court, he is not able to have the final say in the disposal of the Danyang Dart Bureau.

It is true that Wu Desi's duty is to supervise this group of Jianghu people and directly arrest them if necessary. But they didn't do anything illegal and undisciplined, and they were helpful to Wu Desi in Zhao Ren's matter before.

At most, one does not cooperate with the work of the court, and it is okay to fine money, but it is a bit too much to arrest people.

Standing on Liu Ling's side, he naturally hoped that the Danyang Dart Bureau could help.

The combat effectiveness of the 5,000 soldiers really made Liu Ling not have much confidence. As long as they fall into a bitter battle, the fighting spirit of the soldiers will collapse in an instant. When Tang Ning evaluated the box soldiers before, there was one sentence that made Liu Ling very much in agreement.

Fighting with the wind, there is no better wave than the box soldiers. Fighting against the wind, there is no faster throwing than the box soldiers.

However, now Liu Ling represents the imperial court, and bowing his head to these people in the rivers and lakes is not something that Liu Ling can do.

Just as the old dart head was about to leave with everyone, a martial arts clerk standing on the side suddenly shouted: "Senior, please stay!" ”

The old dart turned his head and said, "Since the official business is unwilling to agree to the old man's conditions, there is no need to continue to discuss this matter."

There's nothing more to stay, farewell. ”

Then the officer said, "The reason why we did not agree to your terms is because it is not in our favor to do so." Zhao Ren's information is very important to us, but it also means another thing, that is, Zhao Ren himself has no role for us.

In that case, can we each take a step back and come to an agreement? ”

Liu Ling looked at this official with satisfaction, when he asked him to come over from Tang Ning a few years ago, he was still a child. At that time, he just found out that he was a martial arts practitioner, so he brought him back to Kaifeng.

Before I knew it, eight or nine years had passed, and this child now not only had good skills, but also had a very flexible mind. It seems that my choice was very correct. In time, this kid will either sit in his own seat or sit in the seat of the martial envoy.

Hearing this, the old dart head stopped, turned his head and said, "If this is the case, the old man is willing to listen to it." ”

"Business." The official arched his hand towards Liu Ling, and then retreated behind Liu Ling.

But Liu Ling smiled and said, "Wu Sheng, let's talk about it." ”

"Only." Wu Sheng bowed his hand again, took another step forward and said, "The next idea is that if you can catch Zhao Renhou, hand him over to us first, so that we can get information from his mouth."

After that, we will hand over Zhao Ren to you for disposal. We don't care about what happens after that.

Senior, what do you think of this approach? ”

The old dart head glanced at Liu Ling, and saw that Liu Ling nodded slightly at him, so he fell into deep thought.

I called the people around me and discussed a few words. In the end, the old dart head nodded and said: "You can agree, but you have to guarantee that when Zhao Ren is handed over to us, he cannot be a dead person, he must be alive." ”

Liu Ling smiled: "You can rest assured about this matter, we have a lot of experience in interrogation." It is not common for a prisoner to be interrogated and left to his death.

The prisoner died after the interrogation, which is even more important for us

It's a shame. ”

The old dart head laughed, and arched his hand towards Liu Ling: "Then the one hundred and twenty people in the Danyang Dart Bureau will all obey the orders of official affairs." ”

"I'm tired." Liu Ling also stood up and bowed his hand to the old dart, the two sides looked at each other and laughed, and finally the old dart left satisfied.

After the old dart head left, Liu Ling patted Wu Sheng's shoulder and said, "Good job." ”

"It's official affairs and martial virtue that make the adults teach by word and deed on weekdays, and the guidance is good." Wu Sheng's face was expressionless, and he said something serious.

Liu Ling laughed, pointed at Wu Sheng and shook his head.

He didn't say that your sycophant looks like Tang Ning, from that day on, Wu Sheng has always been a member of Wu Desi, and the relationship between him and Tang Ning will let it rot in his stomach.

If Wu Sheng, who was still young at the time, remembered this incident, maybe he would do something unfavorable to Wu Desi, and this would not work.

Not only will it make it difficult for him to protect himself, but it will also implicate Tang Ning, and it will deal a blow to His Majesty's prestige. This series of consequences, Liu Ling had already thought of it.

Soon after, the cooperation between Wu Desi and Danyang Dart Bureau officially began.

Prior to this, the governor of Luzhou had already sent 5,000 soldiers at the request of Wu Desi. Three thousand of them were in charge of all the entrances and exits to the valley.

The other 2,000 people followed Wu Desi to obey the dispatch.

The Danyang Dart Bureau also relied on their fame in the rivers and lakes to summon nearly 800 heroes to come to the rescue.

At the same time, when some of the turf was fighting, the lost dogs who were defeated by Zhao Ren were also sharpening their knives, ready to take the opportunity to participate in it, and they were ashamed.

Liu Ling knew about the existence of these people, but at the moment, Liu Ling didn't have time to care about them. What's more, they are still a kind of help to their own side now, even if they want to deal with it, they will wait until the end of this battle to catch them all.

After a rough count, Sun He said that in this battle, our side has an advantage in both strength and numbers. As long as he does not reverse low-level mistakes and does not give Zhao Ren a chance to take advantage of the battle, Zhao Ren will already be a turtle in an urn that cannot escape.

After that, Liu Ling sent people to surround Zhao Ren's base camp, besieging but not attacking. First, use the method of encirclement to consume the opponent's supplies and reduce the enemy's physical strength.

Three days later, the offensive began.

However, when the battle was at its height, a thunderbolt on the dry land stopped everyone.

Liu Ling gritted his teeth, grabbed the pale Sun He's neck and asked, "Where did he get the gunpowder?!" Where did he get the gunpowder?! “

"Subordinate...... The subordinates don't know...... My subordinates really don't know ......," Sun He stammered, sweat already running down his forehead.
