Chen Da and the others went out and faced a group of bandits from Peach Blossom Mountain. They smiled slightly and said, "Master Yang, there is no need to be so grand. It's just a section of the road. It's not a good idea to let the brothers greet them together."

"Since we are brothers, of course we must treat them with dignity. Young men, please escort Mr. Chen to the Juyi Hall."

Chen Da smiled slightly, lifted his robe, and strode forward.

Yang Ning secretly admired Chen Da, who was worthy of being half-hearted, and could be so calm despite being outnumbered.

The three of them walked to the Juyi Hall, where an incense table was set up. On the incense table, there were pig heads, sheep heads, and cow heads offering sacrifices to heaven, which was very grand.

"Master Yang, this is too grand."

"After all, it is the lives of the three heads of Erlongshan, so they have to be taken seriously."

Chen Da sneered: "Master Yang is still afraid of the officers and soldiers outside, and wants to exchange the lives of my three brothers for a moment of peace?"

"No, I just don't want my brothers to bleed needlessly. After you leave, the incense will continue. Every year on this day, I will offer incense to you."

Du Biao sneered: "Brothers in Taohua Mountain, we are all bandits. Now Yang Ning can betray us to protect himself. Tomorrow, he will betray you to protect himself. Think about it carefully."

Chen Da secretly gave Du Biao a thumbs up.

When the bandits heard Du Biao's words, they immediately became uproar.

There were originally two leaders in Taohua Mountain, Yang Ning in Shangjiutian and Liu Dao in Xiajiuyou. Liu Dao died in the battle in Youzhou, leaving only Yang Ning. There was some instability within Taohua Mountain, and with this incident,

People's hearts suddenly became confused.

Seeing that the situation was bad, Yang Ning shouted loudly: "Brothers, don't listen to their nonsense. The officers and soldiers are chasing them. You are different from them. You are my brothers and sisters, and they are not."

"As long as we send them out, the officers and soldiers will not make things difficult for us. But if we keep them and the officers and soldiers attack, we will definitely lose our troops and generals."

"For your safety, I sent them out!"

Chen Da turned around and sneered: "Your brothers are so hungry that their faces are emaciated. Is this how you treat your siblings?"

Yang Ning was furious, this bastard was talking nonsense.

Although the two brothers Yang Ning and Liu Dao took the majority of the proceeds from each robbery, he did not treat his men badly when it came to food, and it was even more nonsense to say that he was sallow and skinny.

But Chen Da's words reminded the bandits of the time when they were dividing money and women. Yang Ning always took the lion's share. This didn't seem to be the case in Erlong Mountain.

At this time, the people's hearts in Taohuashan were already in chaos.

Seeing that the situation was bad, Yang Ning immediately shouted: "Kill them!"

The loyal one immediately stepped forward, but Dong Chao had quick eyes and quick hands. He raised two flying knives and accurately hit the hearts of the two of them, killing them directly.

Yang Ning quickly got down. Dong Chao was an expert archer and could hit any exposed area.

The third knife flew out and penetrated straight into Yang Ning's head, killing him on the spot.

Yang Ning died, and the bandits in Taohua Mountain were immediately in an uproar and at a loss.

Chen Da took the opportunity to raise his arms and shouted: "We people in the world have righteousness as our top priority. If Yang Ning didn't protect his brothers, he would be killed. It's a matter of course."

This seems to be the truth, but something is not quite right. The uneducated bandits always feel strange, but they have no leader and they don't know what to do.

Du Biao continued: "Now the officers and soldiers are attacking the city and we cannot defend it. What should we do?"

No one can answer.

Chen Da said: "Surrender the officers and soldiers in exchange for a way out."

"What?"

"You want us to surrender our officers and soldiers?"

"We will be killed."

The situation does not seem to be so ideal, but Chen Da's original intention is not to let the Taohuashan bandits surrender with him, but to bring more people to surrender, so that they can gain a higher status after surrendering.

The bandits in Taohuashan whispered, and finally divided into two camps. One side wanted to surrender, and the other side was worried that they would be killed after surrendering.

Those who advocate surrender are those who have not done many bad things, while those who do not want to surrender are those who have done too many bad things and are afraid that the officers and soldiers will be reckoned with later.

The majority of the people on both sides are surrenderers. After all, if there is a stable life, who is willing to live with their head tied to their belt.

A large number of people surrendered, which was an unexpected surprise. Chen Da was happy, but when he turned around, he found that Dong Chao had disappeared.

Du Biao shook his head slightly: "Brother, let him go."

Chen Da sighed: "It doesn't matter, everyone has his own destiny."

"Brothers who are willing to surrender, come with me and surrender. Brothers who are unwilling to surrender, just take the money and leave."

Every cottage has a way forward and a small escape route, just in case there is a situation where officers and soldiers attack the city.

After receiving Chen Da's permission, the bandits who refused to surrender took their savings and quickly left the alley. The bandits who chose to surrender carried Yang Ning's body, opened the gate of the village, and knelt down to surrender.

At the bottom of the mountain, Li Feng looked at the open gate of the village and smiled slightly: "General Wei, I hope you will pay attention to the one hundred veterans promised."

Wei Ze clasped his fists in conviction: "After I return, I will definitely convince General Liang to send a hundred veterans to the prince."

The two rode up the mountain one after the other. When they entered, they saw bandits kneeling on the ground. There was a corpse in the front, and behind the corpse were two people kneeling. One of them had fought with Li Feng.

of Chen Da.

Li Feng was surprised to see that Chen Da was the one who surrendered. He thought that Chen Da and the others would be killed by the two bandits from Taohua Mountain, but he didn't expect that they would counterattack.

Chen Da lowered his head and didn't see Li Feng's expression, but he heard the voice.

"Chen Da, a common man, pays homage to the general."

"Get up."

Chen Da looked up and saw that the person who came was Li Feng. He was very surprised: "King You?"

"Don't look at me in such surprise. I'm not a rare animal. You killed Yang Ning. That's great. Where is Liu Dao? Did he run away?"

Chen Da frowned: "Liu Dao has died under Youzhou City, doesn't King You know?"

Li Feng looked at Wei Ze, who shook his head. He didn't know about this at all.

"There were too many dead bandits in the city. We didn't have time to identify them, so we just burned them."

Chen Da felt a bit bitter at the corner of his mouth, feeling like a rabbit had died and a fox was sad. The second master of Peach Blossom Mountain was no different from other little bandits when he died. He was burned directly.

"Where's the other one, the sharp archer Dong Chao? I can still remember his few arrows."

Chen Da and Du Biao didn't say anything. It wasn't until Li Feng snorted that Chen Da said, "Third brother...Dong Chao was unwilling to surrender and ran away from behind."

The two of them thought that Li Feng would be angry, but Li Feng just chuckled: "Everyone has his own ambitions, and you can't force him. It's a blessing for Youzhou that you two are willing to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side."

"You also killed the bandit Yang Ning and recruited the bandits from Taohua Mountain. Yes, you will be rewarded based on your merits when you return, including at least an official position."

Chen Da, who had experienced being robbed of his credit, responded calmly, while Du Biao, who had never been an official before, was very excited. After all, becoming an official is the highest ideal of everyone in this era.

At this point, the crisis in the three mountains of Youzhou has come to two ends.

And only a dozen people died because of this.
