The wind suddenly blew the blue waves of the lake, and the wine gui outside blew in the wind. This made Zhu Gui, who was sitting at the counter, frown slightly and said softly: "I'm afraid there will be no guests coming to the door today."

Zhu Gui's hotel is located next to the official road five or six miles away from the foot of Liangshan Mountain. Its business is good on weekdays and has become an important eyeliner and ears for Liangshan Lake to be placed outside. They can often pass the news back as soon as the threat comes.

Zhu Gui, who has been in a restaurant for more than ten years, is already thirty-five this year. He is quite tall but looks a little thin. In addition, the two beards on his lips give people a sense of dryness and thinness, so he has the nickname of dry land.

Because he had been opening a store for ten years and had rich experience, he judged that after seeing the gust of wind, a heavy rain would soon come. In addition, it was approaching dusk, so it was even more impossible for a customer to come to the door. But shortly after he said this, a man walked into the store and made several friends laugh secretly.

Originally, Zhu Gui was planning to say a few words in self-deprecatingly, but after seeing the appearance of the visitor, his signature smile suddenly stopped, and his eyes were even more surprised. As soon as he looked, he winked at the client beside him and asked them to go out and guard outside the store immediately.

These guys were stunned when they saw the person coming, but they all reacted quickly and hurriedly walked out, not only staring at the official road ahead, but also taking care of the mountain village and the water park in the back, in case that the brothers in the village suddenly came to see people they should not have met. These guys were also brothers who had been following Zhu Gui for many years, so they were naturally completely on his side at this time.

Until he sent all his hands outside, Zhu Gui looked at the short and fat man smiling in front of him with a serious expression and whispered: "Why are you here?"

"I, my brother who misses me, came here to pay a visit in person?" The person who came was Zhu Fu, the smiling tiger, who is Zhu Gui's legitimate brother. Although these two brothers have the same father and mother, their appearances are very different. If they hadn't admitted it themselves, it would have been impossible for anyone to recognize them as their own brothers.

"You...you also know your current identity. Since you have surrendered to the government that day, you are the enemy of Liangshanpo. Are you not afraid of falling into their hands? Even if I want to protect you, I will not have the ability." Zhu Gui said worriedly, as if he wanted to send someone away immediately.

"Brother treats me the same as before. I am really ashamed. But don't worry, I have checked the neighborhood before coming to see you, and no one will come for the time being. And it's time to see that it's raining heavily, and the people in the village will not pick on me coming here in the rain, so I should be safe." Zhu Fu smiled honestly again, then dragged a stool and sat down in front of the counter.

Seeing his performance, Zhu Gui quickly thought of something: "You are here not only to see me, but also to have any other concerns. Just tell me what you and my brothers have."

"Brother really knows me. Since that's the case, I'll just say it." Zhu Fu turned around and glanced outside the shop, and found that no one else had noticed this place. He then said softly: "I'm here to save my brother from the sea of ​​suffering."

"Hmm? What do you mean?" Zhu Gui frowned and said in confusion.

Zhu Fu looked at him and said, "Don't you understand, what future can you have when you stay here as a bandit in Liangshan? Do you plan to waste your time like this for the rest of your life? Haven't you ever thought of getting rid of the current environment and being a dignified person?"

"You... have you come to be a lobbyist under the order of the government?" It was not until this time that Zhu Gui understood and said with a vigilant look: "You were also a brother in Liangshan Village at the time. Now, you are still going to be enemies with the brothers in the village regardless of your loyalty?"

"Haha, loyalty..." The response to him was Zhu Fu's disdainful sneer: "Brother, you really have loyalty to them, but are they really loyal to you and me? If you really have loyalty, they will leave you here to let go? Once the government sends troops to kill you, your restaurant will be the first place they want to take. Brother, do you think you can escape, do you think they will do whatever it takes to rescue you?"

Zhu Gui was stunned by these few words. He had never thought about such safety issues carefully. Now that he was exposed by his brother, his heart was naturally tight. Seeing this, Zhu Fu continued: "Brother, have you not figured out why Song Jiang and others made this arrangement yet? After all, isn't it just that he doesn't trust you enough? Because you are not theirs at all, and they have never really regarded you as a brother.

"Brother, think carefully. When Chao Gai and others went to Liangshan, how did Wang Lun and your brothers treat them? What did they get? Not only did they occupy the magpie's nest, they also killed many old brothers in the village. Now there are a few brothers who were alive? In addition to you and Du Song, and a few old friends in this restaurant, have you seen other people?"

It would be fine if you didn't think about some things. Now, after Zhu Fu reminded me, Zhu Gui thought about it carefully, and he felt a chill in his heart. As his brothers said, over the years, the old brothers in the village had already died and fled to death, and even if they didn't leave, they were completely marginalized.

Take myself as an example, it is somewhat useful, but I was arranged to be a spy in this tavern far away from the cottage. Now anything in the cottage has nothing to do with me. As for the two old brothers Du Qian and Song Wan, although they are still in the cottage, they have almost no power. They are said to be leaders, but they are actually not much different from minions.

If we really want to say it, the three of them are the longest people in Liangshan. They were already here when Wang Lun first built the mountain village. As a result, after a few years, they almost had no place to gain a foothold here. As Zhu Fu said, just because they were not from Chao Gai or Song Jiang. Or if they thought a little deeper, they were still worried that they were resentful and wanted to avenge Wang Lun.

Just looking at the changes in Zhu Gui's expression, Zhu Fu had already guessed that his heart had begun to shake, which made him sigh that Sun Dujian was indeed powerful and could easily grasp the knot of his brother's heart. Yes, Zhu Fu could not think of these words. Everything was taught by Sun Tu, and he was just conveying his meaning. Zhu Gui was a key point in Sun Tu's internal conflicts.

Seeing that the brother was already shaken, Zhu Fu struck and said while the heat: "Brother, staying here will eventually lead to a death. Why do you have to pay for those guys? I remember clearly that more than ten years ago, when you left home, all you thought about was just to open a hotel to live. But now, your hotel is open, but you harm people with it. Is this really what you wanted to do at the beginning? Being a brother will never harm you. At this time, the most correct choice is to abandon the darkness and turn to the light!"

"Did you ask me to go to Qingzhou to surrender to Suntu? Will he accept someone like me who is a bandit?" Just seeing him ask this, it means he was completely moved.

Zhu Fu hurriedly said, "If my brother can surrender to the government, Sun Dujian is naturally very welcome. But if this goes through, it is easy to be suspicious, even Liangshan is afraid that he will not be willing to give up. Therefore, in my opinion, my brother should make contributions based on his current identity and then surrender to the court. At that time, wouldn't it be much better to win a fame and official position than to be a thief now?"

Zhu Gui looked at his brother thoughtfully. He was not a fool either. At this time, he had heard some intentions from the other party's words. He came here not only to persuade him to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, but also to use his own place. This should be the real purpose of his adventure here.

Zhu Fu was more clever than his brother. When he saw his expression change slightly, he guessed what he thought and said, "Brother, I am really entrusted by Sun Dujian. I hope I can convince you to surrender. At the same time, Sun Dujian also has greater plans, but this matter is indeed a bit dangerous. If you don't want to take risks with your own life, you will never force you to be a brother. You can leave here with me now and return to Qingzhou. Even if I give you my current official position, I will definitely ask Sun Dujian to pardon your crime and let you become an official!"

His words were really sincere, which made Zhu Gui feel moved. After a while of hesitation, he finally bit his teeth: "Okay, I will read this and promise you to surrender to the government and stay in Liangshan as an insider! Just take it as avenging the favor of Wang Lun's village leader Wang Lun's grace and avenge his murdered revenge that day!"

After all, Zhu Gui is still just a rude person. What he values ​​most is his brotherhood. In comparison, his younger brother Zhu Fu is much more cunning. It is precisely because he knows his brother enough that he uses this move to retreat to advance, thereby completely convinceing the other party.

Now that Zhu Gui had made up his mind, Zhu Fu was naturally happy: "Then brother should be careful. Also, Sun Dujian wanted to instruct his brother to do something secretly..." As he said that, he lowered his voice and explained Sun Tu's meaning in detail.

Only these words made Zhu Gui feel shocked again, and his face turned pale: "You... they are really so sinister..." At this time, the wind and rain were blowing, and the wind came in from the door of the big shop with a drizzle, which made Zhu Gui shivered unconsciously. Although it was already spring, the weather was still cold.

"Liangshan is difficult to break, and sometimes some extraordinary means must be used. Moreover, those guys do not act too openly and uprightly on weekdays. This is just retribution." Zhu Fu immediately explained.

Zhu Gui pondered for a moment and finally nodded again: "Then I will try it, just hope it will be effective."

When it was completely dark that day, the hotel was closed, and Zhu Fu took advantage of the rainy night and quietly left and returned to Qingzhou to report the news.
