Chapter 39: Promotion to Captain
Xionghun is the soul of the mountain, Qingxiu is the soul of water, and sincerity is the soul of people!
Because of sincerity, Ye Heng and Bai Ruyu became friends; because of sincerity, Ye Heng and Qiao Yong have a deep brotherly relationship; because of sincerity, there is a special connection between people, sincerity can supplement the defects of wisdom, but wisdom can never fill the defects of sincerity!
After separating from Kong Ying, Ye Heng and Qiao Yong followed the way they came to find the secret passage, and then returned to the White Horse Villa from the dark passage.
In the White Horse Villa, the members of the third team are waiting for it. Especially after a beast roar came from before, they were even more cautiously on guard! Seeing the two of them walk out of the dark passage one after another, they all breathed a sigh of relief. But after waiting for a long time, I didn't see Kong Ying appear, and they all showed doubts.
"All assembled!" Qiao Yong suddenly shouted.
Although everyone did not know what was happening, they did not hesitate to carry out the order, and after a few breaths, the third team gathered together and finished the formation.
Ye Heng faced the team, looking like a captain, and said: "I, Captain Kong and Qiao Yongshun searched through the secret passage, and we have found the real culprit in the case of White Horse Villa!"
"What, the real culprit has been found! Who is the real culprit?"
"Who did it, Lao Tzu is going to destroy his whole family!"
"What are you waiting for, why don't you hurry up and avenge your dead brothers!"
......
It's like throwing a boulder on calm water, and the team is in chaos!
Seeing that everyone was noisy, Qiao Yong roared loudly: "What's the noise! Shut up Lao Tzu and listen to Ye Heng finish speaking!"
Hearing Qiao Yong's roar, the person immediately quieted down, and more than a hundred pairs of eyes were gathered on Ye Heng, only then did he notice a large area of dark red blood on Ye Heng's body, and immediately someone thought of a lot, and looked at Ye Heng with a complicated expression, his ears were firm, and he listened carefully to Ye Heng's speech below.
Ye Heng's face was as usual, and he said: "The real murderer is none other than the current owner of the White Horse Villa-Bai Ruyu! We met with Bai Ruyu in Merlin ten miles away from the secret passage, and the two sides fought a big battle, Bai Ruyu was seriously injured and escaped, Captain Kong died on the spot, and I was also seriously injured. ”
So that's it!
After hearing Ye Heng's explanation, the scene was chaotic again, and all the team members began to talk about it.
"What, Kong Ying is dead?!"
"Bai Ruyu is so powerful!"
"No wonder we killed so many of us, we came here for revenge!"
"Now, Captain Death has become the real Captain Death!"
"Where did Bai Ruyu get such a strong strength? The White Horse Villa was destroyed by us, why did it come back to life so quickly?"
......
After a long time, Ye Heng raised his hand to stop everyone's discussion, and said: "Now that the truth has been ascertained, everyone will enter the White Horse Villa, and at the same time send the news back, and wait for someone to come from the village." ”
Everyone acted immediately, and Ye Heng went to heal accompanied by Qiao Yong, and he didn't say anything all night.
At noon on the second day, the second batch of people from Xiangyunzhuang galloped over, led by Tai Shien and Zhou Dashao, the leaders of the Xiangyun Escort Regiment. The two asked Ye Heng for the reason, and under the leadership of Ye Heng, they checked Merlin during yesterday's fight.
When the two of them saw the traces of Merlin's battle, they couldn't help but gasp! I saw that Merlin was in a mess, with stumps and gravel everywhere, and the center of the fight was filled with a deep pit, and there were still traces of blood in the pit!
"I didn't expect Bai Ruyu to be so powerful! It seems that after the White Horse Villa, there must be at least a martial arts level powerhouse in charge, and at the same time, more people must be sent to guard against it! Judging from the combat power shown by the other party, it is definitely not under Bai Ze! And Kong Ying is also hidden deep enough, he has always been a two-fisted opponent before, but he didn't expect him to be a swordsman, and his sword cultivation is not weak!" Tai Shien said.
"Yes, it's a pity, my Xiangyunzhuang lost a tiger general!" Zhou Dashao's face was gloomy, obviously really sad. Since Kong Ying entered Xiangyunzhuang, he has always been a sharp blade in the hands of Zhou Dashao, with outstanding ability, capable work, and easy to use. "Where is Kong Ying's body? I want to see it. ”
Ye Heng didn't answer, and walked straight to a new tomb, but there was no monument in front of the tomb.
Zhou Dashao looked at the new grave and was silent for a long time. In the end, he bowed deeply three times and sighed: "People die like lights going out, brother, let's go!"
"Ye Heng listens to the order!" After worshipping Kong Ying, Zhou Dashao turned around and ordered: "Pass my order, build a monument and repair a tomb for Kong Ying, and you must build a beautiful scenery! As a member of my Xiangyun Village, Kong Yingsheng is a person from my Xiangyun Village, and he must raise his eyebrows alive! Death is the ghost of my Xiangyun Village, and he wants to send the eight-sided majesty!" After speaking, Zhou Dashao went straight away.
It's just that no one knows, after Zhou Dashao regretted Kong Ying's death, he was extremely angry with him in his heart! After turning his back to Kong Ying's grave, he had secretly scolded Kong Ying: "This idiot, let you design to kill Ye Heng, why did you rush up and fight with others? If you win, it's just that, your credit is naturally indispensable, but you won't pick up soft persimmons and pinch them? The other party is obviously a hard stubble that I can't deal with, and your head was kicked by a donkey and rushed up to find death? It doesn't matter if you die, you have ruined Lao Tzu's follow-up plan!" I knew you were so useless, why didn't you die earlier, but something went wrong at such an important time! Useless things, if you die, you will die, what's the use of leaving you?"
Seeing this, everyone should be able to guess why Zhou Dashao didn't doubt whether Kong Ying was really dead. Because, in the eyes of a superior person like Young Master Zhou, anyone is a tool they can use, no one is indispensable, and there is no better substitute for the time being. If there is a better option, anyone can swap it out. Even if Kong Ying is not dead and this matter is not done well, his value in Zhou Dashao's eyes will be greatly reduced. Therefore, Zhou Dashao didn't really care about his subordinates, but just regretted the temporary loss of a handy tool, of course, there was no need to investigate the truth about whether Kong Ying was dead.
In fact, Zhou Dashao didn't know Kong Ying, and even what kind of person the real Kong Ying was, he didn't know, of course, he didn't bother to know! In his opinion, money can make ghosts grind, he has money and power, Kong Ying is just a dog who is willing to do anything for money and power, but this dog not only listens to the owner's words, but is better than other dogs, and it is impossible to spend effort to understand his heart for a dog! is as smart as Kong Ying, how could he not see Zhou Dashao's true face, so after confirming his relationship with Ye Heng, he chose to disappear.
Give up at the right time, walk away at the right time, in order to reach a new place in time, where the spring may be bright, there may be a hundred flowers!
Three days later, the third group of people from Xiangyunzhuang had also arrived. In the meeting hall of White Horse Villa, several people are sitting in turn.
"This time to investigate the case of White Horse Villa, Captain Kong unfortunately died, it is really regrettable!" Zhou Dashao broke the silence and first said: "However, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and the family cannot be without an owner for a day. ”
"What does Zhou Dashao mean, who can take on this important responsibility?" asked the fourth elder, Song Yizhi.
"My brother is not talented, so he is over eighteen years old, although he is a little stubborn, but it is really because there is nothing to do, if I can give him something to do, I think he can still be made. So I think it's time to give him some chances, to let him exercise. Zhou Dashao shook the feather fan lightly, looked like a discerning person, and said slowly. I really don't know what to do with this winter's feather fan?
Hearing Zhou Dashao's proposal, several people present couldn't help frowning.
At this time, a big man spoke, this person has a red face, one eyebrows, short sideburns and beard, and is five big and three thick, it is the second elder of Xiangyunzhuang, the third of the three male Zhou family, Zhou Jing, only to hear a loud voice sounded: "I don't agree! Just Zhou Xiong's bear-like, let him drink the shower and go to the kiln, he can do it, lose some silver in the casino, he can play with a good family on the street, what else will he do? This kind of virtue wants to be in charge of my Xiangyunzhuang's elite power?
None of the people expected that this second elder, who was dedicated to martial arts and never asked about the affairs of the village, would speak out at this time, and it was his grandchildren who were talking about it, and everyone was stunned for a while. However, soon their expressions changed again. Zhou Dashao's face became very ugly, even though he was dissatisfied, but the other party was his third grandfather, and he couldn't say anything. The eyes of the fourth elder Song Yizhi darkened, and he immediately returned to normal. Eighth Elder Tai Shi Qian and the head of the Xiangyun Guard Regiment, Tai Shi En, had a flash of joy in their eyes.
The second elder continued: "Zhou Liang, don't think that I don't understand anything because I never ask about the affairs of the village! Take a step back, even if I don't understand anything, then I still have a clear distinction between who is a talent and who is stupid! Two years ago, the boss passed on the throne to your Lao Tzu, for the development of our Xiangyunzhuang, you promoted a large number of newcomers, and these people have indeed made some achievements, which is understandable! But there are some things, you have gone too far! Even lard blinded your heart, and you have done a lot of stupid things to kill chickens and take eggs, and now you will be punished! In the White Horse Villa, more than 400 people were killed overnight, more than 400 people, all of them were raised by their mother's biological parents, which is not the baby bump in the family, if you say no, it will be gone, don't you feel sad? This is the price of your reckless actions! How many families are involved in so many people, how should we explain to these families? Have you thought about it! Now you have to promote Zhou Xiong's idiot, how many families do you want to harm? The candidate is discussed separately, Zhou Xiong's bastard, don't even think about it, I will never agree!"
No one expected that the second elder would be so angry today! Zhou Dashao coughed twice in embarrassment and said, "Third Grandpa, I know that you are always sad because my brother Zhou Gang was seriously injured, but this is something that no one expected. Now we are talking about the establishment of the third team, which is not only related to the management of the Xiangyun Escort Group, but also related to the rise and fall of our Xiangyun Village, so don't worry about it!"
In the past, when such words were said, the big hat related to the rise and fall of Xiangyunzhuang was buttoned, and the second elder was silent, which was related to the rise and fall of the entire Xiangyunzhuang, who should bear the responsibility? But today these words not only did not work, but also caused the second elder's monstrous anger, the second elder slapped the table, and the solid wood square table immediately shattered to the ground!
Second Elder Zhou Jing roared loudly: "Fart! Lao Tzu doesn't agree with Zhou Xiong's little bastard to be the captain of the third team, Xiangyunzhuang is over? Zhou Liang, do you think your third grandfather doesn't know how many fancy intestines you have! With your little ability, you are far worse than your Lao Tzu! You Lao Tzu is really smart, you are just a little clever, you have to have half of his ability, your third grandfather and I won't say anything today! Let me ask you, let Zhou Xiong's idiot be the captain of the third team, is it your Lao Tzu's meaning, or is it your idea?"
Zhou Dashao didn't expect the second elder to ask such a question, but this matter was really his own idea, and it was not easy to deny it in front of the second elder, so he said honestly: "It was my idea." ”
"I knew that you Lao Tzu couldn't do such a stupid thing! You little rabbit cub thinks how capable you are, and you Lao Tzu is blindly tossing around behind your back! You Lao Tzu is a beloved son, and he is too protective of his shortcomings, and he will turn a blind eye to some of your behaviors, and you know how many wrong things you have done are all your Lao Tzu wiping your ass in the back? Do you really think you are capable?"
The more the second elder spoke, the more angry he became, although his words were rough, the reason was not coarse, and he also said a lot of things that Zhou Dashao didn't know, Zhou Dashao's face changed several times, and he really didn't know how to respond for a while.
But the second elder showed no signs of stopping, and continued: "Who made the decision to attack the White Horse Villa? Don't tell me that you don't know, and don't tell me that it was your Lao Tzu's order, Lao Tzu doesn't believe it at all! Now that my Xiangyun Village has lost more than 400 lives for this, who bears the responsibility for this? All the good horses in the White Horse Villa have been lost, but this is a good breed raised from other places, and it is the painstaking efforts of my Xiangyun Village for more than 30 years! Who bears this responsibility? Hmm!"
Hearing the angry scolding and scolding of the second elder, Zhou Dashao's face changed drastically, and he lowered his head in shame. The faces of the other people present were not good-looking, and the issue of responsibility had really not been discussed until now, but if such a big thing happened, even if someone took responsibility, who could bear the responsibility? Even if someone was responsible for the disaster, how could the huge loss be compensated?
Seeing that the scene was at an impasse, the four elders immediately came out to play a round, and at the same time pulled the topic back, and explained with a smile: "Second Elder, don't be angry! Zhou Liang is just a suggestion, isn't this still to be discussed? Besides, everyone may not agree, you sit down first, dissipate your anger, dissipate your anger!"
Zhou Dashao was also clever, and saw that the second elder was not getting along well today, so he immediately laughed and apologized.
Seeing that the second elder's anger had subsided a little, the fourth elder asked, "According to the meaning of the second elder, who is more suitable to take the position of captain of the third team?"
The second elder stroked his sideburns and short beard, put on an unfathomable look, and said, "Actually, I have already made up my mind about this candidate, you guys can guess and see what my old Zhou's vision is?"
The four elders looked around, Zhou Da Shao had just been scolded, and it was naturally inconvenient to answer at this time, the eighth elder Tai Shi Qian and the head of the Xiangyun Guard Regiment Tai Shi En and his son glanced at each other, Tai Shi En said: "The person that the second elder can look at must be extraordinary! And this time the captain of the third team should be selected, this person should be a member of the third team, I don't know if I guess right?"
The second elder is a straight man and a good martial artist, and the candidate who can enter his eyes is obviously easy to guess, Tai Shien guessed the second elder's mind after a little thought.
The second elder smiled and nodded yes. Tai Shien continued: "As far as I know, although Ye Heng of the third team has not been in my Xiangyun Village for a long time, he is one of the first disciples of the four generations, and as soon as he enters our Xiangyun Village, he will take Cao Zan and Ouyang Zhu lightly. The case of White Horse Villa is even more of a fact that he found out the real culprit and seriously injured Bai Ruyu with Captain Kong, such a brave and resourceful young talent, I don't know if he is the second elder's choice?"
As soon as he heard the word Ye Heng, Zhou Dashao's heart was as uncomfortable as eating a green-headed fly when he ate a full banquet, but he was afraid that the second elder would go crazy again, so he could only swallow his anger and pray that God would open his eyes and never let Ye Heng become the candidate in the heart of the second elder.
But many times, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment! After hearing the word Ye Heng, the second elder's face was even more smiling, and he looked proud of Bole to find a thousand miles of BMW.
"Yes, yes, Xiao Enzi is worthy of being the head of the regiment, he is really like a torch, and he knows heroes with his eyes!" the second elder clapped his hands and praised.
These two elders are really unscrupulous, straightforward, as soon as the word "little Enzi" came into Tai Shi En's ears, his whole face immediately turned into a big red cloth!
Looking at the elated appearance of the second elder, everyone knew that today's matter could only be decided like this, don't look at the second elder's usual nothing, once he really wants to do something, it will be a bull's horn, and the eight horses can't pull it back, so it must be done! Although he didn't like it in his heart, Zhou Dashao didn't dare to say more.
The fourth elder, Song Yizhi, followed the words of the second elder and said: "Then it is decided, the eighth elder seems to have to work hard for you to be old, and you will be fully responsible for arranging Ye Heng to take any of the matter." ”
The Eighth Elder's face was calm, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or worried, but just nodded and said lightly: "It should be done." ”
So, Ye Heng was unconsciously pushed to the middle and high-level of Xiangyunzhuang. Many times, when good luck comes, you can pick up a big piece of gold when you fall, and when you are lucky, you can jump off your front teeth when you drink water.
But when it comes to luck, although it is general, savor it carefully, there is also cause and effect. Where does luck come from? Isn't it worth savoring?
