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

Chapter 921 Zhu Su Returns to the City
Foolish people always think they are brave, and so is Adu.

At the beginning, he led the charge into Shuidong Village with the help of his guards, just like his brave father. At that time, he thought that he would be able to crush the pale-faced and obviously incompetent King Zhou and easily twist off his head, thus provoking a dispute between Shezi and the Ming Dynasty.

But as the fight went on, he realized that reality was harsh. These people from Shuidong were not much worse than those from Shuixi.

Of course, the two families, Shuidong and Shuixi, are across the river from each other. Over the past hundreds of years, they have been fighting openly and secretly for who knows how long. How could there be such a big gap in their strength?
What's more, Adu was leading only a part of Shuixi, while Song Qin, the chieftain of Shuidong, had the entire Shuidong military force in his hands!
Seeing that the raid had failed, even behind them, troops appeared: other villages in the surrounding area saw that their own chieftain’s village had been raided, and they all sent troops to support!
No matter how stupid Adu was, he backed down at this moment.

"Akemu! Akemu!" Adu waved his sword and forced back a Shuidong warrior who rushed over, while shouting to those around him: "Akemu! Where is Akemu!"

"Take the people with you! Stop Song Qin! Let me get out of the village first!"

"Chief, stop looking!" Someone beside him responded, "Akemu has already escaped!"

Adu was stunned. It was Akemu's idea that he came to attack Shuidong. He trusted Akemu so much, but now the situation is not right, he actually escaped...

"Akemu!" Adu wanted to kill the traitor with one blow, but Akmu had disappeared, so he could only feel helpless and furious.

Song Qin was fighting on foot, holding a large shield. He strode forward, his armor and shield covered with minced meat and blood plasma. The Shuidong warriors were all experts in fighting on foot in the mountains, and he, as a Shuidong chieftain, was extremely proficient in fighting in such complex terrain. He had seen Adu a hundred steps ahead, and was recruiting elite troops to behead Adu.

"His Royal Highness King Zhou has issued an order! Capture the leader of the bandits alive!"

"His Royal Highness King Zhou has issued an order! Capture the leader of the bandits alive!"

Gou'er rushed over with Zhu Su's order, pulled out his musket, and accurately shot a Shuixi leader who was loudly directing the battle. Seeing a big man suddenly have a bloody hole on his forehead, the Yi and Buyi warriors were all shocked, and the battlefield suddenly fell silent.

Song Qin was stunned for a moment, then realized that this was a fighter plane, and quickly shouted: "It's the Ming Dynasty's heavenly soldiers! The Ming Dynasty's heavenly soldiers are standing right here with us!"

"Kill! Send these thieves who dare to come to our village and make trouble to His Majesty the King Zhou of the Ming Dynasty!"

The morale of the Shuidong tribe was greatly boosted, but the morale of the Shuixi tribe dropped slightly due to their fear of unknown things such as fire guns. As one side gained strength while the other lost strength, the battle situation tilted more towards the Shuidong tribe. Adu was almost swept away by the fleeing tribesmen and rushed towards the village gate.

Song Qin pursued them relentlessly, but Gou'er realized that the ammunition for the musket was precious, so he put away his musket and grabbed a bow and arrow. He led five riders on horseback and went around the side of the mountain, firing arrows one after another. Every time he shot an arrow, a Shuixi leader who was commanding the battle would die under the arrow. As a result, no one dared to stay behind to cover the retreat, and Adu's troops completely lost their will to fight, and all began to flee for their lives towards the village gate.

"Open the gate! Stop them!" Song Qin shouted towards the village wall.

Shuidong Village is called a village, but the chieftain has been hereditary and has been operating for a long time. The village has long been similar to a crude city. At the beginning, the village wall was taken away by Adu's people because of carelessness, but now it has been taken back. At this time, the Shuidong people on the wall heard the chieftain's order and quickly pulled up the village gate that had been lowered. Except for a small number of Adu's troops who escaped from the village, most of the rest stayed in the village.

"Kill! Don't leave anyone alive except the leader!" Song Qin hated this group of thieves who dared to attack him, and gave the order with gritted teeth.

What followed was a one-sided massacre. Gou'er stood on a high ground, so there was no need for him to take action. He just silently supervised the killing of the Shuidong people to prevent them from killing the culprit of this disaster...

Fortunately, Song Qin also knew the importance of complying with the Ming Dynasty at this time and did not dare to ignore the Ming Dynasty's request. After an incense stick of time, Adu, covered in blood and tied up like a dead pig, was thrown in front of Zhu Su.

"Your Highness King Zhou, this man's name is Adu, and he's a chieftain in the western part of Shuixi." Song Qin kicked Adu angrily, and Adu, whose mouth was stuffed, let out a miserable groan.

"Yes. I have seen him." Zhu Su took a look at the man who was beaten like a pig. His cheeks were swollen and his lips were covered with blood. It was almost impossible to tell what he looked like before. It seemed that Song Qin had given him a lot of punishment. But Zhu Su still recognized from his "wise" eyes that this man was the Shuixi leader who had stopped him at the valley. The moment he recognized him, Zhu Su breathed a sigh of relief.

The worst situation is that Madam Shezi really decides to rebel against the Ming Dynasty for some reason...but if it is just this chief named Adu, the possibility of Madam Shezi's rebellion will be greatly reduced.

After all, the chief named Adu was at odds with Mrs. Shezi, which he had witnessed with his own eyes in the past.

Song Qin seemed to hate Adu very much, and he hated Shuixi as well. He kicked Adu again, causing Adu's body to curl up. "You dog! How dare you betray us Shuidong!"

"My wife traveled thousands of miles to Yingtian Prefecture to plead for you in order to ensure the survival of Shuixi. You bastards betrayed us Shuidong and even tried to attack us at night..."

He seemed to regard Shuixi as the culprit, so he kicked Adu hard and angrily insulted Shuixi. Zhu Su couldn't help but remind him: "Chief Song, I'm afraid that this sneak attack on Shuidong was not instructed by Mrs. Shezi of Shuixi."

"Huh?" Song Qin stopped kicking Adu. "How could that be? Why did this kid suddenly come to provoke us Shuidong?"

"Is he going crazy?"

"It's almost the same as going insane. But he was also used as a pawn by someone." Zhu Su sneered and said.

"Chief Minister Song, I am going back to Guiyang City."

"If the chieftain is willing, can you bring your men and go with me?" Zhu Su invited.

"Look at how I will catch the real culprit who attacked Shuidong!"
