Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 918: Fools' Foolishness

Akmu, who claims to be more visionary than Adu, actually has limited vision.

He thought that as long as he instigated Adu to take action, he could leave Shuixi and find another place to live after getting the subsequent money from the mysterious man... However, he did not know how stupid this "strategy" he had proposed was.

Not everyone in this world is wise, fools still make up the majority of the population. And there are always fools who think they are smart and do all kinds of unexpected things that make people laugh.

Their foolish words and deeds are often part of history...

After Ma Ye found that he could no longer take any action and found out that Adu was quite dissatisfied with Mrs. Shezi's tolerance, he made a plan to instigate Adu and make him destroy himself. He did not think that Zhu Su would be killed by Adu, but as long as someone in Shuixi took the initiative, the hat of rebellion he put on them would be confirmed.

It was an unexpected gain for Ma Ye that he found Akmu, the greedy "strategist" so easily. By stirring up the two "snipes and clams" of Shuixi and Shuidong, he, the "fisherman", could gain benefits.

In short, after "careful consideration", Adu began to gather his trusted warriors at night, preparing to attack Shuidong at night and kill Zhu Su.

At this time, Zhu Su, who was held as a hostage in Shuidong, was still unaware of what was happening and was wandering around the Shuidong village.

"Hey, sister A-Lian, are you dyeing cloth? Hmm, great batik! Sister is very clever, the dyed cloth is as pretty as your face!"

"Miss Aju? Hello, hello. Are you washing clothes? Well, the lotus in the water is beautiful, and only nature can be used for decoration..."

"Sister Axin, well, you are beautiful again today!"

The days and months are long in the mountains. In the first few days, Zhu Su could stay in the house obediently and enjoy the refreshing scenery in the mountains. But after staying there for a long time, Zhu Su gradually felt lonely and bored. He didn't even have a way to kill time. Being trapped in a house was almost driving him crazy.

Fortunately, Song Qin treated him with great respect and did not seriously treat him as a "hostage", and naturally did not restrict his activities.

Thus, the world-famous Prince Zhou turned into an idle and idle street urchin in Shuidong Village. Wandering around every day and flirting with the young girls and wives of the Buyi ethnic group had become Zhu Su's only entertainment in Shuidong Village.

He often flirts with these simple young girls and wives, making them blush.

"Your Highness, if you are really bored, why don't you go back to Guiyang..." Song Qin rubbed his brows pretending to have a headache and said to Zhu Su. "My wife trusts the Ming Dynasty, and I am no exception."

"I, Song Qin, am a minister of the Ming Dynasty. Even if Your Highness is not here, we are still willing to serve the Ming Dynasty with all our strength. It is really a pity for you to stay in the village... In just the past few days, the number of protests from my tribesmen that I have received every day has increased several times more than usual!"

Zhu Su was handsome, elegant, and eloquent, which was very different from other Buyi men. He wandered around the village with his flirtatious manners, and many young girls and wives in the village were really attracted by him. Ordinary people could hardly understand Zhu Su's nobility. In the past few days, many fathers and even husbands, out of a sense of crisis, kept asking to see Song Qin and asked him to drive away this "improper" guest as soon as possible.

The chieftain Song Qin was left in a state of confusion.

"Hahahaha, of course I believe in Tusi Song's loyalty." Zhu Su laughed and blinked, "I'm not doubting Tusi Song and his wife, but the customs in Shuidong Village are so simple and honest, I've never seen such a simple and honest one before."

"As the Han Chinese say, 'I am so happy here that I don't want to think about the future!' The chieftain will not chase me away, will he?"

Zhu Su certainly would not leave easily. He was in Shuidong to give Mrs. Shezi in Shuixi a reassurance. It was not just to appease Shuidong, but to express his "trust in the chieftains of Guizhou" by staying in Shuixi, so as to gain the trust of the chieftains and stabilize the surrounding situation.

Song Qin was just joking, and he had no real intention of driving Zhu Su away. In the past few days, he and Zhu Su had been together day and night, and the two sides had a certain degree of trust. Hearing Zhu Su praising their Shuidong environment, Song Qin felt honored in his heart, and still joked: "If Your Highness likes our Buyi girls, why not marry one home... It's a pity that I don't have a daughter. If not, it would be a great honor for me, Old Song, to find Your Highness as a son-in-law."

"Hahahaha, Lord Song, please don't let my princess hear this, otherwise your peaceful life in the future will be in jeopardy..."

The two of them were eating at the same table, joking and laughing with each other, and the days seemed to be the same as the previous few days. But just as Zhu Su put down his bowl and chopsticks, an abrupt sound of wooden clappers came from the west of the chieftain's house, startling Zhu Su, who had been accustomed to the unchanging life in the village.

Song Qinze had already stood up and said to Zhu Su with a serious face, "Your Highness, please wait a moment. I will go and take a look first."

Knocking on the wooden clapper, the sentry is sounding a warning to the village... Who would come to attack Shuidong at this time?
Could it be... the Ming army? Song Qin glanced at Zhu Su secretly.

Seeing Song Qin walk away quickly, Zhu Su's face became heavy. Outside the house, Zhu Su's eunuch and bodyguard Gou'er had already entered the house and stood beside Zhu Su. "Your Highness."

"Gou'er, could it be that Ma Ye sent someone here?" Zhu Su said solemnly.

"Your Highness, no." Gou'er thought for a while and answered decisively. "Di Meng in the city sent a letter today, saying that he has Ma Ye's subordinates under surveillance, and Ma Ye's confidants in the city have not made any rash moves. "And even if Ma Ye wants to force the chieftain of Qiandi to rebel, with the strength of his confidants, he certainly can't split his troops to attack the Song family in Shuidong."

"Who could that be..." Zhu Su pondered. He also knew that if he left Di Meng to watch over Ma Ye, Ma Ye would definitely not be able to send a large-scale force to attack Shuidong. It was even more impossible for the Shuidong sentries to sound the alarm as if they were facing a great enemy.

But for attacking Shuidong, only Ma Ye could have the possible motive. Who else would come to attack Shuidong at this time?

The mystery was soon solved. After a while, Song Qin came back with a sullen face. Before he even entered the room, he said, "Your Highness, it's someone from Shuixi calling."

"Shuixi?" Zhu Su stood up suddenly. "How is that possible!"

"Could it be that... they have rebelled?"

"Not sure." Song Qin asked his men to put on armor for him, and said to Zhu Su with a serious expression: "It seems that only a part of Shuixi came."

"Don't worry, Your Highness. Shuidong and Shuixi are old rivals... Since Shuixi has betrayed the agreement signed with my wife, then Shuixi is the common enemy of Ming Dynasty and Shuidong."

"Your Highness, please take shelter here for a while. I, Old Song, will drink with Your Highness after I defeat Shuixi!"
