Chapter 401: Recruiting Suo Chao (2)(1/2)

Suo Chao led his troops to surround the Cai family and wanted to question Cai Mao and ask him to hand over his family. Otherwise, he would have to wipe out the Cai family.

Cai Mao was resenting Suo Chao for his eldest son being killed, and he wanted to take him alive. Now Suo Chao came to him on his own initiative, how could Cai Mao bear it? So with the help of the maid, Cai Mao walked out with the injury.

Seeing Suo Chao roaring in front of the door, Cai Mao was immediately angry and shouted directly to Chen Kuo: "Chen Kuo, why are you still standing there? You still haven't taken action to capture Suo Chao? If you don't, believe it or not, I will regard you as Suo Chao's accomplice and then kill them together!"

Chen Kuo looked helpless. He and Suo Chao were very good friends. How could they meet each other, let alone capture them?

Chen Kuo looked at Cai Mao and bowed, "Mr. Cai, I think the matter needs to be discussed for a long time. I know Suo Chao very well. Although he is impatient, he is definitely not a random killing innocent people! Sir, there must be any misunderstandings between this. It must be caused by some villains. He wants to watch the Lord and Lord. It is a good fisherman to benefit. Now our Daming Mansion is in danger and is threatened by the thief army. We must not fight in the nest! Fighting in the nest will only make us unlucky and make the enemy happy. Sir, please be cautious!"

Cai Mao coughed, his face was so ugly that he shouted: "Chen Kuo, are you a soldier from my Cai Mansion or Suo Chao's person? You actually helped Suo Chao speak, and ignored my words. How could I spare you! I will say it again, you will never act? If you don't act, don't blame me for being rude, I'll see you capture it together!"

Chen Kuo knelt down and shouted, "Sir..."

At this time, Suo Chao sneered and said to Chen Kuo: "Old Chen, don't persuade this stupid official. He has wanted to kill me for a long time. How could he let go? Cai Mao, let me tell you, send my family out quickly, otherwise I will make you look good!"

"Make me good-looking?" Cai Mao smiled angrily: "Haha, you killed my son, and you still want me to look good-looking? Do you want to kill me? Suo Chao, I tell you, no one can save you today! I must kill you! Avenge my son!"

Suo Chao snorted: "I didn't kill your son at all. Your son is lustful and deserves to die. I don't know which hero is used to eliminate harm to the people. It's so satisfying! Haha..."

As soon as these words were said, Cai Mao was so angry that he trembled all over. He pointed at Suo Chao and shouted: "Come, come, kill me, kill Suo Chao!"

Wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow w

These guards are all good players among the imperial guards. Cai Mao specially selected the ones from the imperial guards to protect his own safety. They basically played the role of one against three, extremely fierce. They surrounded Suo Chao and the soldiers, and surrounded the lambs like hungry wolves, scaring the soldiers gathered together and faced them cautiously. Although they were afraid, none of these soldiers surrendered.

But Suo Chao was not afraid, and he snorted, "Want to fight? Who is afraid of whom! I, Suo Chao, have never been afraid of anyone! Cai Mao, let me ask you the last question, will you let my family go! If you let my family go, I will leave now, and if it hasn't happened at any time, I will still be at ease to defend the city for you. But if you don't let anyone go, don't blame me for being rude!"

Cai Mao roared: "Let me go? Let me go! It's a pity that your family is not in my hands. If it is in my hands, I will cut them into pieces and slap them in front of you, so that you can know what the pain of losing a loved one is!"

"You are looking for death!" Suo Chao glared and roared, then the copper hammer in his hand rose up, rolling down like a force to slash Huashan. The guard in front of him did not react and was directly hit. His head exploded, and his flesh and blood splattered around him, extremely bloody.

Then, Suo Chao roared and swung the copper hammer.

Cai Mao was so scared that he sweated all over his body. He quickly wiped the blood on his face, then hurriedly retreated, and shouted to the guards: "Best, upper, upper, upper, kill me, kill me, execute Suo Chao on the spot, kill me! As long as those soldiers dare to resist, they are all the same crimes, and they are all killed, killed, killed, killed..."

As soon as the order was issued, the guards began to fight with swords and guns.

Suo Chao was like a fierce god walking out of the sea of ​​blood. He held up a copper hammer and started fighting roaring, making the guards retreat step by step, making it difficult to compete. But guards continued to emerge in the Cai Mansion, blocking Suo Chao's bravery.

Although Suo Chao was powerful, the soldiers beside him were very dangerous. Their martial arts were not as good as those of the imperial guards, and after a fight, many casualties were killed or injured.

A tragic battle was in front of the Cai Mansion. Swords and guns roared, blood splattered everywhere, and the killing was full of joy.

But as the battle progressed, the disadvantages of Suo Chao's side gradually became obvious. They had few people and were not good at martial arts. How could they be comparable to the elite imperial guards? In the end, only Suo Chao and a dozen soldiers were still struggling to persevere.

Seeing that this was not a solution, one of the soldiers shouted: "General, you retreat first, keep the green mountains and don't be afraid of no firewood. You retreat first and avenge us later!"

"Yes, General, you retreat first, and you must rescue your sister-in-law, and then avenge us, kill Cai Mao, and get rid of a disaster for the people of Daming Mansion!" The other soldiers also roared.

Suo Chao was red in his eyes and fought to the death, shouting: "I won't leave, let's share life and death with each other!"

Seeing that Suo Chao and the soldiers could no longer hold on, Ximen Qing took action decisively.

He pulled out his short halberd and began to bombard him from behind. His short halberd was like the sickle of the god of death. Whenever he touched the body of the guard, he would kill his life. In a short while, there were as many as a dozen guards who died in Ximen Qing's hands.

The appearance of Ximen Qing gave Suo Chao and his soldiers hope.

Suo Chao yelled: "Thank you for your help. If Suo Chao survives, he will definitely repay his kindness to his life!"

Ximen Qing laughed and said, "Brother Suo is so weird! I admire Brother Suo's name! These guards are willing to be lackeys of the stupid officials, so it should be killed!"

After saying that, Ximen Qing used "Steping on the Snow Without Trace", and the short halberd in his hand was raging wildly. For a moment, Ximen Qing's figure turned into a afterimage, which made the guards elusive. What's even more terrifying is that Ximen Qing's short halberd was extremely sharp. As long as it touched the guards' body, it would cut out deep and long blood marks, and the direction of these blood marks was still in an important part of the human body. So as long as you were hit by Ximen Qing's halberd, the guards would not die and would have no combat power and slept on the ground.

After a while, the guards who died in Ximen Qing's hands killed more than Sochao and all the soldiers.

Seeing Ximen Qing too fierce, the soldiers from Cai’s mansion rushed out even more crazily, like ants.

Seeing that this was not a solution, Ximen Qing turned to Suo Chao and the soldiers and shouted: "Brother Suo, brothers, stop fighting, go quickly!"

The soldiers nodded and then fought and retreated.

But Suo Chao was red in his eyes, how could he be willing to leave?

Ximen Qing came to Suo Chao, grabbed Suo Chao's arm, and said, "Brother Suo, let's go, don't fall in love with the battle. If you don't leave, there are too many guards, we can't leave!"

Suo Chao shook his head and said, "If I don't leave, I must save the lady and the child. Even if I die, I will save them!"

Ximen Qing said: "Brother Suo, your wife and children are not in Cai's house. I know where they are!"

"What? Do you know? How is this possible? How did you know?" Suo Chao asked anxiously.

Ximen Qing smiled and said, "Brother Suo, believe me, come with me. Let's leave here. I'm telling you the details. How about it?"

Suo Chao nodded and said, "Brother saved my life, I will believe in you naturally! Okay, let's go!"

Then the two of them rose up bravely, killed several guards, and fled quickly. Although the guards behind them chased after them, they were too fast and disappeared from the sight of the guards in a short while.

After learning that Suo Chao was rescued by a mysterious man, Cai Mao was so angry that he vomited blood. He immediately ordered the guards to chase him quickly. Even if he turned three feet into the ground, he would search for the whereabouts of Suo Chao and his family, and then kill them all quickly.

Ximen Qing and Suo Chao came to a remote corner and stopped.

Suo Chao asked with his fist, "Thank you for saving your life, I don't know your brother's name? Also, my brother said he knew about my wife and children, but he didn't know where they were? Please tell me so that I can reunite with my family!"

Ximen Qing said: "Let's go down to Ximen Qing!"

When Suo Chao heard this, he was shocked and unconsciously took two steps back and said, "You are the Emperor of Yi! Ximen Qing, the commander of Liangshan? Why are you here?"

Ximen Qing explained: "It's not because Brother Suo Chao is holding Daming Mansion that makes it difficult for our army to break through, so I came here in person, hoping to convince Brother Suo Chao to give up defending the city."

"So, did you put the fire in Kuwei?" Suo Chao frowned and said.

Ximen Qing nodded and said, "I released it. I learned that Brother Suo and Cai Mao had a gap. Because of this Kuwei, I set fire to Kuwei, hoping that Brother Suo would have a stumble with Cai Mao."

Suo Chao smiled bitterly and said, "I have heard that Emperor Yi is very intelligent, and now it seems that it is true. Then you killed Cai Mao's son?"

Ximen Qing nodded and said, "Yes, I killed it. After you and Cai Mao quarreled, Cai Mao sent guards to kill your family. Fortunately, I arrived in time and saved them and placed them in place. Then I sneaked into Cai's mansion and killed Cai Ying."

Suo Chao said: "Hey, commander, you have harmed me so much!"

Even though he knew that Ximen Qing was plotting against him, Suo Chao just couldn't vent his anger. No matter what, Ximen Qing saved his life and his family.

Ximen Qing smiled and said, "Brother Suo Chao, without this fire, Cai Mao will attack you. It's only a matter of time. I admire Brother Suo's character, so I want to invite Brother Suo to Liangshan to discuss major events! Now that the war in the Song Dynasty is raging, the national weapon has been occupied by Zhao Yunti, so for the rise and fall of the country, I beg Brother Suo to go up the mountain to gather together for the sake of great justice! I wonder what Brother Suo wants?"

Suo Chao hesitated for a moment, then said, "I have heard that many heroes have gone to Liangshan for a long time. I have always wanted to see and see. Since this happens, I can't do it if I don't leave. Well, I am willing to go to Liangshan and be the front pawn of the commander!"

Ximen Qing laughed and said, "With Brother Suo joining me, my Liangshan strength will be increased a little further. Haha, let's go, Brother Suo, I'll take you to find your sister-in-law!"

"Okay!" Suo Chao nodded quickly and responded.

----------------

Ximen Qing took Suo Chao around and finally arrived at the courtyard where Suo Chao's family was placed. When the two went in, they saw Suo Chao's wife having dinner with her children in the courtyard. Seeing Suo Chao, Wang covered her face and cried. Then he rushed into Suo Chao's arms with his children and burst into tears. Suo Chao also had tears on his face and hugged Wang and his children. The iron-blooded man also had a tender face.

After a while, several people calmed down.

Then, Suo Chao, Wang and his children knelt down and said to Ximen Qing: "Thank you for your life-saving kindness!"

Ximen Qing hurriedly helped several people up, then laughed and said, "Brother Suo, this gift is too big! I can't bear it!"

Suo Chao said: "Master, you must bear this gift. You not only saved my life, but also saved my family. Your kindness to us is like recreating it."

Ximen Qing said: "Okay, I'll accept your worship, okay! Don't be too polite after worshiping, otherwise I'll be embarrassed to stay here!"

Suo Chao smiled and said, "Haha, that's OK, we won't be pretentious anymore!"

At this time, Wang said, "I guess my husband and benefactor are hungry. I'll go and make some food for you. Let's talk here!" As he said that, he brought a pair of children into the room.

Ximen Qing and Suo Chao gave up, and Suo Chao asked, "Commander, since I have planned to surrender to Liangshan, I will naturally help Liangshan take down Daming Mansion. But now I am being hunted by Cai Mao, and I will be discovered if I show up. How do we act?"

Ximen Qing thought for a while, then said, "Brother Suo, how many of the generals guarding the city are your confidants, but you follow your fate?"

Suo Chao said: "Sixty percent! The other 40 percent are Cai Mao's confidant. Cai Mao has not been appointed as the prefect for a long time, so the tentacles have not yet involved all the generals and have not been cleaned up."

Ximen Qing smiled and said, "This is easy to do! Let's do this, Brother Suo, let's take advantage of the evening to find those trusted generals and convince them to surrender to Liangshan. If they are willing, then we will start immediately and open the city gate to welcome the Liangshan army into the city. How about it?"

Suo Chao nodded and said, "I think it's OK. If I lobby them, they will definitely agree. However, after the Liangshan army entered the city, Cai Mao's confidant generals would send soldiers to stop him. If the fight starts, wouldn't it be chaotic? It would be bad if the soldiers who are willing to surrender at that time!"

Ximen Qing smiled and said, "Brother Suo is considering meticulously! In fact, it is easy to deal with. Just let the soldiers who are willing to surrender tie a red hand towel on their left arm, won't it be enough?"

Suo Chao said: "Okay, just do it like this, then I will lobby them tonight!"

Ximen Qing nodded and said, "Then I will go out of the city and tell Lin Chong and the others about the details first, so that it will be convenient for combat!"

"Okay! Then you have to be careful too!" Suo Chao replied.

Afterwards, the two of them had some food and went into the room to rest.

At midnight, it was as dark as ink. Ximen Qing and Suo Chao each wore night clothes and left the small yard. On the street, it was obvious that many soldiers were searching for Suo Chao. In addition, there were also a large number of guards patrolling in the military camp, trying to find Suo Chao's traces and thus chased him.

Ximen Qing told Suo Chao to be careful, and the two separated.

Ximen Qing carefully sneaked out of the city and then returned to the Liangshan military tent. When she learned that Ximen Qing was back, Lin Chong and Li Kui, who were resting, quickly put on their clothes and then came to the Central Military Camp to discuss.

Ximen Qing talked about the situation after entering the city in detail. Lin Chong and Li Kui looked surprised after hearing this, and then gave a thumbs up.

Lin Chong said: "I think I have been sieging the city for more than half a month. Not only did I fail to achieve anything, but I wasted too much time and energy. Now the commander has taken action and won over Suo Chao in less than two days, making him willing to surrender. Daming Mansion is right at his fingertips. Oh, the commander is the commander, which really makes me admire him!"

Li Kui also scratched his head and said, "It's really amazing to use tricks. It seems that I, Tie Niu, have to learn to use tricks! When I returned to Liangshan, I was like Guan Sheng who borrowed books and read them, learning from him every night!"

"What book should I borrow?" Ximen Qing asked curiously.

Li Kui smiled and said, "Spring and Autumn!"

Ximen Qing rolled his eyes and almost fell to the ground.
