Chapter 191: The Helpless Li Family Manor and Hu Family Manor

"Too much deception!

These Liang Shan bandits are too much!"

In Li Family Manor, the Manor Master of Li Family Manor,

known in the Jianghu as "Soaring Eagle" Li Ying, who had a hawk-like head and tiger-like eyes, swallow-like chin, ape-like arms, and wolf-like waist,

wearing a dark red robe and a military uniform on the outside, had his two hard hawk eyebrows raised, furious.

"Sanniang, Manager Du, is that Liang Shan Zhang Zhaizhu really saying that?"

In Hu Family Manor, the Manor Master of Hu Family Manor, Old Master Hu, who wore a member's suit, had gray hair and a kind face, and was already old,

looked about the same age as Old Master Zhu,

but was much calmer than Li Ying, this impulsive "young man."

Hu Sanniang and Du Xing, who were sitting in the lower seats, stood up together to report:

"That Liang Shan Zhang Zhaizhu did indeed say so.

If we don't surrender by tomorrow, he will send troops to attack us.

He also said that if he breaks through our two mountain manors just like he broke through the Zhu Family Manor,

there won't be such good conditions as now."

"What should we do?"

A trace of worry couldn't help but appear on Old Master Hu's kind face.

As for why the people of the two manors were together,

it was naturally because the battle of Liang Shan breaking through the Zhu Family Manor gave them too much shock,

and they didn't dare to divide their troops, for fear of being broken by Liang Shan one by one.

And because the defense facilities of Hu Family Manor were better than those of Li Family Manor,

Manor Master Li Ying of Li Family Manor led the servants of Li Family Manor and others to retreat into Hu Family Manor,

preparing to use this as a fortress and combine the strength of the two families to resist Liang Shan's sharp edge.

"Old Master, instead of sitting and waiting for death, why not combine our two families' strength and fight those Liang Shan bandits!"

The middle-aged Li Ying was obviously much more energetic than the old Old Master Hu.

"Yes, Father, let's fight them!"

Old Master Hu's son, Hu Sanniang's brother, the young manor master of Hu Family Manor,

nicknamed "Flying Tiger" Hu Cheng, was young and energetic, and shouted in agreement with Li Ying.

What are the best conditions?

Once they surrender, their two manors are afraid they will be swallowed skin and bones by that Liang Shan Zhang Zhaizhu!

These two manors are the painstaking efforts of their respective ancestors for hundreds of years,

how can they be handed over to a group of Liang Shan bandits?

After this, I'm afraid that after a hundred years, there will be no face to see the ancestors in the Nine Springs!

"Fight?

I also want to fight, but what do we have to fight with?

That Liang Shan can break through the Zhu Family Manor within a few hours,

naturally it can also break through my Li and Hu families within a few hours!"

Old Master Hu glared at Hu Cheng, who was asking to fight, and suppressed him.

Then he turned his gaze to Li Ying, who was glaring with anger:

"Manor Master Li, it's not that I don't want to fight for my life, but is your Li Family Manor's strength stronger than the Zhu family's?

Or is my Hu Family Manor's manor more solid than the Zhu Family Manor's?"

"This..."

Li Ying, who was originally very excited, was instantly speechless by the question:

Although their three families on Dulong Ridge, Li, Zhu, and Hu, were nominally on equal footing,

in terms of strength, the Zhu family still occupied the top spot.

To say a word that damages one's own prestige, but is the truth, even if their Li Family and

Hu Family added together, their strength was not much higher than the Zhu Family Manor.

Although Li Family Manor was thriving under his and Du Xing's management,

it ultimately lacked a few decades of time, and its strength was difficult to look at the back of the Zhu Family Manor.

And Hu Family Manor was at the bottom of the three families in terms of the number of servants and the skills of instructors and

guards, and it also needed Hu Sanniang, a woman, to take the lead,

and could only seek survival in the cracks between their Li family and the Zhu family.

"And that Liang Shan Zhang Zhaizhu only gave us one night to think,

which is not giving us a chance to connect with close manors, or even seek help from the county government and prefecture government.

That Liang Shan Zhang Zhaizhu is a person with a chest full of gullies!"

After analyzing the strength gap between the two sides, Old Master Hu sighed again.

Originally, their plan was to gather the strength of the two families to defend Hu Family Manor to the death,

and seek support, combining the strength of many parties, not to say drive the Liang Shan force back to Liang Shan,

but also to nail them to the Zhu Family Manor, making them unable to move,

but that Liang Shan Zhang Zhaizhu simply didn't give them this opportunity.

"Could it be that apart from surrendering, we have no other way to go?"

Calming down, Li Ying, who also understood the strength gap between the two sides, sat decadently on the chair.

Old Master Hu sighed again: "As far as the current situation is concerned,

if we want to save your and my lives, we can only do as Liang Shan says."

"But, but those Liang Shan bandits are too cruel.

Old Master Zhu, Zhu Long, Zhu Hu, and Zhu Biao of the Zhu family were all killed by them!"

Hu Cheng thought of the news gathered by the spies, and couldn't help but shiver.

The adult men of the Zhu family were all dead, and although the Zhu family was not completely exterminated, it was almost the same.

Even if Liang Shan didn't kill the remaining orphans and widows, what about other enemies?

The Zhu Family Manor had made no fewer enemies over the years by relying on its strong soldiers!

"This is the means of an owl hero; if he doesn't move, he won't move, but if he moves, he must be like thunder, leaving no hidden dangers!"

Old Master Hu still sighed. This Liang Shan Zhang Zhaizhu's style of doing things

reminded him of the owl heroes of troubled times recorded in history books: having the ability to command troops,

having great means, and also having great determination, not bound by small sections, and killing decisively.

"Old Master, we can surrender, but we need a guarantee!"

The decadent Li Ying suddenly raised his head, staring at Old Master Hu with burning eyes.

"What guarantee do you want?"

Li Ying's change was so great that Old Master Hu was stunned for a while.

Just now he was clamoring to fight Liang Shan to the death,

and in the blink of an eye, he planned to hand over a "name certificate" to Liang Shan.

However, perhaps it was precisely this kind of fighting with all his might when he needed to fight,

and being able to put down everything when he said put down, that allowed him to take Li Family Manor from a third-rate manor

and manage it into a big manor that surpassed his Hu Family Manor and was second only to the Zhu Family Manor.

Li Ying continued: "Old Master, this depends on whether you can bear to part with it."

Old Master Hu laughed freely: "Regarding the century-old foundation of my Hu Family Manor, what is there that I can't bear to part with?

As long as my Hu Family Manor has it, Manor Master Li, just open your mouth, and I, the old man, will not refuse!"

For the sake of his Hu Family Manor's century-old foundation, he also went all out.

Li Ying still didn't explain directly, but sold a pass:

"This concerns the most brilliant treasure of Hu Family Manor, so please think twice, Old Master."

"The most brilliant treasure of our Hu Family Manor?"

Hu Cheng couldn't help but fall into thought, starting to think about what was the most brilliant treasure of their Hu Family Manor.

But no matter how hard he thought, he couldn't think of what could be considered the most brilliant treasure of their Hu Family Manor.

The most valuable piece of jewelry in their Hu family was just a string of East Pearls from the East Sea.

Although these East Pearls were also valuable, they were not enough to directly move that Liang Shan Zhang Zhaizhu.

After all, the Liang Shan Zhang Zhaizhu is a man,

so what great significance does a woman's jewelry have for him?

And it's not something left by his mother or other loved ones. ===== CHAPTER 192 =====
