In the backyard of the Suzhou Mansion, the maid and maid went in and out with a basin of towels, this scene has lasted for nearly an hour, Shen Mo and the two old men, thinking that they were in a difficult birth, but Rou Niang came out and said that everything was normal, but it was not good to give birth.

The three of them were anxiously waiting, and the iron pillar outside hurriedly walked in, crouched in and whispered a few words in Shen Mo's ear.

Shen Mo frowned and scolded in a low voice: "Xu Hai, this dead pinch!" I think he's got his head caught in the door! "The so-called 'pinch' is a Shaoxing dialect, which is roughly equivalent to the meaning of nerds and idiots.

"Lord Ministry, please hurry to the city gate." Tie Zhu whispered.

"No, I have to stay here with my wife." Shen Mo shook his hand and said hatefully: "Let that dead pinch die, I don't care about him." ”

"Humble words, be calm and don't be angry." Master Yin said in a deep voice: "It's useless for you to be here, let's hurry up and deal with business, we are here." ”

Shen He was also worried: "It's going to be fine, right?" Go for it. ”

Shen Mo bit his lower lip tightly, his face was cloudy, and he paced in the courtyard a little anxiously. Xu Hai's stupid move will bring countless troubles. This move will definitely leave Hu Zongxian and those officials with the bad influence of this person's unruly and difficult to change the thief's surname. This will greatly affect his placement, or disposition, in the future.

Even a former bandit like Song Jiang who was obsessed with Zhao'an and made great contributions to the imperial court would inevitably die with a cup of poisoned wine, not to mention Xu Hai's attitude?

Shen Mo really wanted to let go, but he knew that it was impossible, once the plan was formulated, he had to stick to it, no matter how difficult it was, he had to grit his teeth and overcome it, otherwise what was the point of a means, and what changes could he talk about?

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and said, "Okay. Looking back at the delivery room, he suddenly said loudly: "Ruohan, let's all come on!" It's going to work! He nodded to the two old men, turned and went out.

"My lord, I'll prepare the horses!" Sanchi caught up and said, "It's faster to ride a horse." ”

"Prepare a sedan chair." Shen Mo's hurried pace gradually slowed down: "No horseback riding is allowed in the civil official city, this is the rule. ”

"When is this time, still care about those rules?" Three-foot's eyes widened.

"The head can be broken, but the rules can't be messed up." Shen Mo said lightly: "You stupid, rush over on horseback, how can I maintain my image?" ”

I used to keep a low profile to the end, but now that the situation has changed, if I want to be low-key but can't, then I can only do the opposite and make myself an idol.

In line with the fact that the head can be broken and the hairstyle can not be messy; Blood can be shed, and the government cannot wrinkle the principle, silently sat on the four official sedan chairs, and carried them directly to the city gate tower.

When he got off the sedan chair, he opened the sedan curtain, and he came out slowly, and sure enough, the official hat of the black gauze was upright, and the crimson official robe was not wrinkled, as perfect as if he had just dressed up.

When he raised his head, he saw that all the adults, including Hu Zongxian, were staring at him. Calmly bearing the reproachful gaze of everyone, he smiled faintly, and arched his hand with his usual elegant attitude: "Lord Ministry." ”

Hu Zongxian smiled bitterly in his heart: "This is really a frightening wind and met a slow ......" and said: "Lord Shen, you came just in time, you might as well come forward and take a look." ”

Shen Mo stepped forward according to his words, looked out, and saw Xu Hai's tens of thousands of troops, and actually clapped his hands and smiled: "It's still counting." As he spoke, he looked back at Hu Zongxian and said, "Ministry, Xu Hai is not late, right?" ”

"It's on time." Hu Zongxian nodded depressedly and said, "Do you think they are in such a big formation, as if they are here to surrender?" "Whoever looks at it, this is not a surrender, but a provocation!

The officials on the side said babblingly: "Yes, Lord Shen, don't say anything now, hurry up and arrange the troops to defend with all their might, in case of contingencies!" ”

Silent but extremely calm, he said to Hu Zongxian with a faint smile: "Just follow him, open the city gate, and I will go out to accept his surrender." ”

Hu Zongxian shook his head and said, "It's not feasible, if he takes the opportunity to take you captive, how can it be good?" ”

"Don't worry," Shen Mo smiled confidently, "Everything is in control." ”

Hu Zongxian looked at Shen Mo with a complicated expression, and a voice in his heart said: "Promise, this is the best way to solve the problem." As long as Shen Shen goes out, no matter what the result is, it is his responsibility alone, and his own involvement is much smaller.

But when the words came to his mouth, Hu Zongxian couldn't speak, because he couldn't forget how Shen Mo fought to protect each other at the beginning, and he couldn't forget his unashamed promises. Living and dying with wealth and wealth, is it just a matter of talking?

Although the official should hold the thick black way and give up the senseless feelings and righteousness, but Qin Hui still has three good friends, I, Hu Zongxian, can't even be inferior to him, right?

Thinking of this, Hu Zongxian made up his mind, raised his head and said, "Let's talk alone." The officials hurriedly retreated far away, leaving the place for the ministers to speak silently.

Seeing that the outsiders had retreated, Hu Zongxian said softly: "Humble words, you and I brothers, you don't have to die to save face, you must say it directly...... Don't you know how to end it? ”

Hearing him say this, Shen Mo was a little surprised, he always thought that Hu Zongxian was a ruthless and unrighteous master of thick black, and he could say such things to himself, which showed that he was too absolute. At the moment, he was a little moved: "Ministry, I really didn't expect today's change, because Xu Hai, who I know, is a very shrewd person, and he won't realize that his only way out is to lay down his weapons and strive for leniency." ”

"It's not me saying you, humble words." Hu Zongxian said: "Xu Hai is not Wang Zhi, he is just a cunning thief, how can he use common sense to guess?" It's not surprising that they have backtracked. ”

"No, I judge, he didn't regret it again." Silent and said in a deep voice: "Eighty percent is because he has not fought me head-on from beginning to end, and he has fallen to this point, and he is unwilling; In addition, he had already found out that I was buried beside him, and he knew that I had choked enough, and he couldn't be angry, so he wanted to get angry and look at our jokes. He smiled and said, "This is what makes him cute, and I would rather deal with him than Wang Zhilai." "So far, I can only try to put gold on Xu Hai's face, even if he is not worthy at all.

At this moment, Xu Hai's voice came from under the city: "In the last quarter of an hour, please ask Hu Butang or Lord Shen to come out and surrender, otherwise I will go back." ”

Hu Zongxian sighed, persuaded for a while, and saw that Shen Mo insisted on his opinion, so he had no choice but to say: "Then I will send guards to protect you!" ”

"Thank you for your kindness," Shen Mo shook his head and smiled, "No need, just give me a horse." ”

"Are you crazy?" Hu Zongxian was a little angry and said: "Joking with your own life is not the attitude that a court official should have. ”

"I'm not crazy." Shen Mo shook his head and said: "The reason is very simple, if Xu Hai is really as I expected, then it doesn't matter if I don't bring anyone; If he really changes, I will take as many guards as I want. He said with a faint smile and said, "Lord Ministry, please rest assured, I cherish my life very much, and I still have that sentence - everything is in control." ”

In the end, Hu Zongxian's persuasion was useless, and Shen Mo insisted on his own opinion.

So when the city gate slowly opened, Xu Hai and his subordinates only saw the silence of a Ming four-grade official uniform, riding a snow-white horse, with only an entourage leading the horse, and then flew out.

He was wearing nothing more than the same crimson robe as those big men in the city, but that kind of luxurious wisdom, calm and confident bearing, which was by no means comparable to those cowering officials, made Xu Hai completely forget his age. In the face of hundreds of heavily armed strong men, although he was alone, he was silent but did not have the slightest panic, he didn't say a word, he just looked at Xu Hai so calmly and majestically.

Against the backdrop of the fortified walls behind him, his image is incomparably stronger!

Xu Hai and the brothers behind him finally knew what it meant to be powerful without anger, he felt an unprecedented majesty, before that, he had never been afraid of anyone, including Wang Zhi, he also dared to call him by his name, but at this moment, in front of this person, he couldn't stand it. Finally, he spoke first: "I've seen Lord Shen." ”

Shen Mo bowed slightly: "General Xu, let's meet again, I don't know what you have to do?" Xu Hai sighed in his heart when he asked this, and said secretly: 'Could it be that my abrupt move today has caused the court to change course?' I couldn't help but feel worried in my heart, and my mouth was even softer: "My lord is really a noble person who forgets things, Xu Mou said that he came to 'Lianhe' as promised, and he has already notified you, have you forgotten?" ”

Shen Mo looked at the hundred generals behind him, and then at the tens of thousands of thieves in the distance, and said with a cold smile: "I have heard for a long time that General Xu is as trustworthy as gold, and he really came with the whole army, so follow me into the city." ”

Xu Hai naturally heard the sarcasm in his words, and said with a cheeky and sly smile: "My lord, I am indeed a sincere person." Today, I also brought a gift for my lordship, so that you will no longer doubt me. Without waiting for a silent answer, Xu Hai took out a burden from behind his back, shook his hand and opened it!

The adults in the city who watched this scene were all shocked when they saw the object, because in the baggage was a bloody human head.

I only heard him say in a loud voice: "According to the request of the adults, I killed Ye Ma in the next, and now present his head to show my loyalty!" As he spoke, he jumped off the horse, held the head in his hand, stepped forward, bent his waist, lowered his head, held it high above the top, and said respectfully: "Sinner Xu Hai, dedicate the head of the Japanese to the adult, in order to atone for his sins!" Lord Wanwang points out a clear path, and the sinners are grateful to the adults! "The head was scarred and hideous, especially when the eyes were still open, and they stared at each other stiffly, as if they were going to ask for their lives! Even a battle-hardened soldier will be frightened and chilled, and he doesn't know how to face it, let alone a weak scholar who has no power to restrain a chicken?

What is this dedication? It's clearly teasing and provocation!

It doesn't matter if Xu Hai is unconvinced, or unwilling, in short, before completely admitting defeat, Xu Hai still wants to test him one last time. As a martial artist who believes in the law of the jungle, he only submits to those who are stronger than him!

Shen Mo smiled faintly, then turned over and dismounted, landed firmly on the ground, and reached out to take the hideous head, as if he had grabbed a leather ball, without any abnormality.

Xu Hai was convinced, completely convinced, he was just about to speak, but he heard Shen Mo say in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Ye Ma looks like I know, this is not his head at all, but I don't plan to expose you." What other tricks, you just play, the official will accompany the ......" As he spoke, his tone turned cold: "But I want to remind you that the officials in the southeast are watching from above, think about it, if you are them, how will you feel when you see this scene?" ”

Xu Hai was stunned for a moment, and beads of sweat oozed from his head in a blink of an eye, he was not a fool, but he was fooled too thoroughly by Shen Mo at first, which made him angry; Coupled with the fact that Shen Mo has always been polite, he didn't put himself in the right position, and as a result, he did this stupid thing.

Then he heard the silence again: "If you really want to surrender, then you should be for your wife and future children; Your own brother, considering your future fate, clamp your tail, don't do stupid things again, otherwise this official won't be able to protect you! ”

When Xu Hai heard this, his intestines were full of regret, he looked at Shen Mo and hissed, "What should I do?" ”

"What do you think of yourself?" Shen asked lightly.

After a short period of silence, Xu Hai's knees gradually bent down, knelt on the dust, lowered his head that was always high, he admitted defeat, lost convincingly, and hissed: "Xu Hai, please surrender, let the adults deal with ......"

General Xu, who was sent to the balance of the sea, actually curtsied to his life-and-death rival! It really made everyone's jaws drop...... What does it mean? Everybody knows.

After a short period of silence, the hundreds of guards behind Xu Hai dismounted one after another and knelt down; The rows of men farther away also knelt down one by one like fallen wheat fields.

Almost in the blink of an eye, no one stood in front of silence.

Hu Zongxian stood at the head of the city, a little relieved, but also a little jealous, he felt that at this time, he should be standing below to call a cool. No matter how much you think about it, you can get a great credit without paying anything, and what is not satisfied? What's more, he has never won against Xu Hai, and for the kind of guy who only believes in the respect of the strong, he may not necessarily buy his own account.

When he thought about it, he was relieved.

According to common sense, Shen Mo should help Xu Hai up next, say something 'let's create a great cause together', and then the two of them joined hands to enter the city, but Shen Mo didn't do that, he still needs to teach Xu Hai and his unruly subordinates one last lesson!

So he slowly stretched out his right hand...... pressed on the top of Xu Hai's head. Everyone in the city and under the city was stunned, they couldn't forget this unbelievable scene for the rest of their lives, only to see Wen Zhuangyuan's silence, carrying a bloody human head in one hand, and gently pressing on Xu Hai's head with the other.

A sentence suddenly jumped out of people's hearts - make a thunderbolt and have a bodhisattva's heart!

Shen Mo's hand was still pressed on Xu Hai's head, Xu Hai didn't move, let him press it, and only listened to Shen Mo's deep voice: "You led the Japanese invaders to invade the country, and how many families have been ruined?" This is an unforgivable sin, now the emperor's grace is vast, since there is a chance to submit, you must cherish it, and you will be guilty of it in the future, don't be evil again, do you remember? "It's like...... The father is teaching the wrong son the same.

Everyone looked stupid, but Xu Hai's head was lowered, and he only heard him say: "The sinners remember, they must keep to themselves in the future, and strive to redeem their merits." "This famous giant was finally completely conquered after rounds of repeated battles...... Only then did Shen Mo throw the head into his arms, and said with a slight smile: "Get up, go into the city to participate in the ceremony, be more respectful to them, and talk about it after this pass." ”

Xu Hai nodded and said, "I know." So he let the army be stationed outside the city, and only took the hundred guards, and followed Shen Mo into the city.

Shen Mo did not participate in the surrender ceremony after all, and he was in the limelight enough today. And thinking about Ruohan at home, he didn't dare to waste a second like an arrow, so he rushed back on a horse...... But he no longer cares about any system and rules.

returned to the mansion, turned over and dismounted, and asked the three feet who came out, "Are you born?" ”

"Not yet!"

"Come in," Shen Mo said as he rushed to the backyard, the first time he had thought his mansion was too big. Running to the door of the weeping flower, he was so tired that he couldn't straighten his waist, and he was holding on to the door to breathe, when he heard a loud baby cry from the courtyard, and his heart was relieved, and he sat on the ground with his butt.

I heard the maid's ecstatic voice from inside: "Congratulations to the master, congratulations to the master, a little boy has been added!" ”

Shen Mo happily bounced up, regained all his strength, and shouted, "I have a son!" ”

Before the words fell, I heard the maid inside say: "Don't worry, there is another ......"
