"Hello, Sixth Brother." Hong Hu, who came behind Zhang Rui's soldiers, greeted Zhang Rui with a military salute.

"Commander Hong, come here now, what good news can you bring me?" Zhang Rui said looking at Hong Hu who came over.

"Yes, Brother Six. A team of our battalion's elite team captured two big fish, and they were people we met before." Hong Hu said happily at this moment.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Rui thought about Hong Hu's words and asked: "But what about Yang Yingju, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and Na Sitku?"

"Sixth Brother Yingming, it is indeed those two guys." Hong Hu said with a smile.

"Haha, this is really an unexpected gain. Bring them over quickly!" Zhang Rui also laughed when he heard this.

"Yes, Sixth Brother. I will go down and bring them here." Hong Hu immediately replied

Since ancient times, it has been said that extreme yin produces yang, and extreme yang becomes yin.

After a battle, the afternoon sunshine began to change from strong to weak.

In October, China, which is located in the northern hemisphere, has already begun to experience shorter days and longer nights.

Zhang Rui looked at the sky and estimated that it would be dark soon. So he ordered to go down and prepare to set up camp.

Another advantage of this battle is that you can directly use the camp that the Qing army did not rush to destroy for your own use, saving the troops of the bandit suppressing army from setting up tents again.

Moreover, because the battle ended so quickly, all the military rations that Li Shiyao and others brought with them were captured by the bandit suppressing army.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Rui asked the cooking soldiers to follow the army's food supply and the common people did not have to save food. The captured chickens, ducks, pigs and other meats were also killed to add food to everyone, and the prisoners' meals were also cooked enough.

After Zhang Rui made these arrangements, Hong Hu led several people to escort Yang Yingju, Sitku, Li Kaifu and others to Zhang Rui.

Zhang Rui praised the team of men who captured Yang Yingju. At the same time, Zhang Rui also asked Hong Hu to write down their achievements one by one, and they would discuss their merits and reward them after the war was over.

After Zhang Rui's praise, the team members who captured and escorted Yang Yingju left happily.

Later, Zhang Rui took Yang Yingju and Sitku aside again.

"Governor Yang, General Xi really didn't expect that we would meet again! Why haven't you been doing well in Guangzhou recently?" Zhang Rui looked at the two of them and said with a smile.

"Brother Six is ​​joking." Yang Yingju also replied with a smile on his face.

"No? Why did you come here to this remote mountain? Everyone is fine. You are in your prosperous city of Guangzhou. I just want to live well in this deserted place. Why do you have to make trouble with me?" Zhang

Rui's face suddenly changed and he shouted angrily.

"Brother Six, you really can't blame us for this. It was Li Shiyao who insisted on coming over to beat you. I didn't want to either, but he insisted on us coming over, so we came over." Sitku quickly put the blame on Li Shiyao.

"So, I still blamed you wrongly?" Zhang Rui said unceremoniously.

"Don't dare, don't dare. Anyway, we are here." Sitku didn't dare to say anything more, so as not to make Zhang Rui unhappy and make himself more troubled.

"Okay, I don't care whether you mean it or not. Just tell me! What do you want me to do to you?" Zhang Rui stopped talking nonsense and went straight to the topic.

"Ahem, it's best to let us go. Of course, we don't dare to trouble Sixth Brother to use so much manpower in vain, or we should pay to redeem ourselves!" Yang Yingju didn't understand what Zhang Rui said when he heard it.

That’s what I’m familiar with.

"Well, not bad, very good." Zhang Rui nodded very satisfied with Yang Yingju and said, "Just calculate it according to the last time's money, everyone will be relaxed."

"Is this still considered a prisoner?" Yang Yingju asked cautiously after hearing this.

"Of course, they are your people, not mine. I can't afford to suffer!" Zhang Rui replied without thinking too much.

When Yang Yingju heard this, he quickly said with a sad face: "This is too much, I really can't afford it."

"Then how much can you pay?" Zhang Rui asked unhappily.

"I can only pay my share of the money. I am powerless to forgive others." Yang Yingju looked aggrieved.

"Do you think so too?" Zhang Rui ignored Yang Yingju and looked at Sitku and asked

"Yes, Sixth Brother. I am not the general of Guangzhou anymore, and I can't control them." Sitku seemed to have nothing to do with him.

"Oh, you are no longer General Guangzhou, does that mean it will be okay to kill you?" Zhang Rui said with a sudden realization.

"No, it's not. Brother Six, I also paid to redeem myself. It's not worthwhile to kill me." Sitku defended anxiously.

"But what should I do with those prisoners? Even if I take your money, I can't let me suffer like this!" At this time, Zhang Rui was thinking about how to get more money from them. After all, raising so many soldiers and horses requires a daily consumption of

There is a lot of money.

"Suffering a loss?" Yang Yingju recited this word in his mind several times, and he felt as if he had captured some information.

While Zhang Rui was still chattering to Sitku, Yang Yingju suddenly thought of something, which might make Zhang Rui give in.

I saw Yang Yingju interrupting the conversation between Zhang Rui and Sitku, then pulling Sitku aside and the two of them were talking softly.

After a while, the two seemed to have reached a certain tacit understanding.

"Brother Six, let's do this! I have a message here. Listen to it and see if you think it's worth the price of the prisoners. If you think it's not worth it, let's talk about the price of the prisoners." Yang Yingju said mysteriously.

Zhang Rui looked at Yang Yingju's appearance, could there be something wrong?

"Go ahead! Let me listen and see. If it's worth the price, I don't think you will suffer a loss."

"Okay, but you have to promise us. As long as you only know about this, you must not talk about it to anyone else. Even if you want to talk about it, don't say it was us who said it." Yang Yingju said with a vigilant face and an uneasy look on his face.

"Okay, let's talk! I'm a tight man. Besides, you are all my old friends, how can I hurt you?" Zhang Rui looked forward to seeing Yang Yingju getting more nervous the more nervous he looked.

"Old friend? Old friend is a hairball. If he were an old friend, he wouldn't have said that he wouldn't let us go without the prisoner money. This is not kidnapping and selling." Yang Yingju complained in his heart.

Yang Yingju thought for a while, as if there was something wrong with this.

Immediately, he shook his head in his mind, came back to his senses and looked at Sitku. Sitku met Yang Yingju's gaze and nodded to him.

Zhang Rui looked at them like this and couldn't help but want to scold them.

"If you have anything to say, why don't you tell me quickly? It's already this time and you're still acting so mysterious and nervous."

Just when Zhang Rui wanted to speak out, he only heard Yang Yingju say slowly:
Chapter completed!
