In the main hall, the owners of the villages are also familiar with each other, forming an obvious tripartite force.

The chair in the left row sits on the northern Qizhai headed by Qiu Yi, the northern Qizhai is the largest number of villages and the smallest of the three major forces, but because Qiu Yi used to have the identity of catching heads, and he attaches great importance to love and righteousness, he is very respected in the entire "misty" foggy mountain.

The right row is the six eastern cottages dominated by Qingyun Village, Hao Nuan and Qunying Village, among which Qingyun Village is the strongest, with more than 200 people, and Han Fei, the owner of Qingyun Village, is born in the army, it is said that he used to be a junior officer in the county, and later because he was dissatisfied with the style of giving gifts and bribes in the county, and finally fell into the grass.

There are nearly 200 people in Haonuan and Qunying Village, which is also a big village in the "misty" Wushan Mountain, and the other three cottages are smaller, only about 100 people.

The three cottages sitting in the front row are all central forces led by the Tianzhai Village, with more than 200 people.

The owners of the village sat on the mahogany chairs and talked to each other, and the things they talked about were all related to the recent events in the three counties.

In fact, Fang Ling's actions in the three counties have not only spread throughout the bandits, but also spread to the cities of the land from the mouths of the merchants.

While everyone was talking, the bandit on the side of the corridor in the hall shouted, "The three village masters have arrived!"

The inside and outside of the main hall suddenly quieted down, and all the people looked towards the corridor of the main hall, Fang Ling stood alone in a remote corner, and the charcoal ash on his face was also cleaned halfway, but he pressed the animal skin hat low, so that people couldn't see his appearance clearly, and when he heard that the three village masters were coming, he immediately raised his eyes and looked in. Update the fastest mobile phone: ://

Soon, a group of people appeared from the corridor.

At the front was a man in his early thirties, a slender man dressed in a blue gown, with a white face and a cleanly shaved beard, who looked not like a thief but a scholar.

However, he came step by step, step by step, like flowing clouds and water, although there was a faint smile on his face, but his eyes were as sharp as a knife, so that people did not dare to look directly, this person was Shen Huantian, the owner of the big village of the Tianzhai Village.

The two men who followed him were older than him, Zhu Mo, the owner of the second village, was thirty-three or four years old, with a tiger's back and a strong waist, carrying two big axes on his back, and the other middle-aged man with a big disc face was Chu Li, the master of the third village, whom Fang Ling had already fought against. Starting

Fang Ling stared at Shen Huantian's every move seriously, judging from his temperament of both civil and martial arts, he knew that he was really not an ordinary character, if he didn't know Qiu Yi on the black market, and took the method of strong attack, I am afraid that there would be a lot of vicious battles to fight.

Shen Huan sat on the tiger skin chair leisurely, scanned everyone like a king, and said with a smile: "You have come from afar, the owner of this village is deeply grateful, only good wine and good meat are used to entertain everyone, come here, serve wine and food!"

As soon as these words were spoken, some of his subordinates brought long tables into the temple, and each village owner put one in front of him, and at the same time, long tables and stools and chairs were also placed in the places outside the hall to let the people accompanying each village sit down.

Fang Ling did not sit down, and stood on the side of the corridor, which made people think that it was a thief who seized the sky, and let the thieves who passed by think that it might be an entourage of other cottages.

Immediately, there are subordinates who bring up good wine and good meat, the wine jar is revealed, it is fragrant, it shows the old wine, the plate of meat is mountain game, fired by a clever chef, sprinkled with special spices, just smell it has a mouth-watering feeling.

At this time, the sun had only "revealed" a small head, and in half an hour, it would be dark, and torches were lit inside and outside the hall.

Seeing the things on the table, Qiu Yi couldn't help but smile slightly: "Brother Shen is getting more and more developed, this is making money every day, and the food and drink in this village are comparable to the big restaurants in the state and county." ”

Shen Huantian said generously: "If Brother Qiu likes it, when you leave later, I will ask you to load more than a dozen jars of old wine, and this secret meat will also be filled with ten buckets, so that the brothers in Moshui Village can also taste it." ”

Qiu Yi didn't refuse, and arched his hand with a smile: "Then I'm welcome." ”

Han Fei, the owner of Qingyun Village, said: "Yo, Brother Shen, you are bold enough, otherwise you will get dozens of barrels for our villages." ”

Shen Huantian smiled lightly: "Brother Han, there is no need to laugh, your cottage in the south occupies three mines, and you make a lot of money every day, I'm afraid my little wine and food is not in your eyes." ”

Han Fei laughed out loud and said with a deep expression: "Brother Shen, that iron mine is just some windfall, and what can really last for a long time is the mountain." The merchants you pass by outside the cottage in the middle of the country are all from the big states and counties, and as long as you rob one car, it is like ten cartons in our poor country. (Initial launch, domain name (remember _ three.)

As soon as he heard this, Zhu Mo sneered and said, "Han Fei, don't be too aggressive, recently, you have extended your tentacles to our central region. ”

Han Fei pretended to be surprised and said: "Yo, I really didn't know that there was such a thing, but although we 'misty' the Foggy Mountain is divided into three parts, the North and the East, however, there is no demarcation line written on this place, everyone comes and goes from the mountains, and it is normal to accidentally 'touch' the boundary." ”

Fang Ling squinted his eyes and looked at it seriously, he had already heard some flavor from these words, it seemed that this matter of reaching out to cross the boundary was not a day or two, it seemed that the contradiction between the three forces was even greater than he thought, however, the more contradictions they had, the higher their chances of winning, on the contrary, if they were united, that would be the biggest problem.

Shen Huantian was not angry, and said with a slight smile: "Brother Han is right, there is a dividing line on the ground, how do you know which mountain belongs to which mountain?

Han Fei shrugged and said, "Brother Shen, there is no way to hurt your feelings, do you want to 'insert' a sign on this mountain road, and this place is under the jurisdiction of such and such a cottage?"

Shen Huantian didn't answer directly, but just looked around at everyone: "You should have heard the words of the messenger I sent, and you should have already sent someone to verify what happened in the three counties, right?"

Everyone suddenly looked solemn, Qiu Yi nodded and said: "Yes, as soon as I received Brother Shen's message, I immediately sent people to the three counties÷ as the messenger said, the king of Shicheng didn't know where to borrow a large number of soldiers and horses, and set up a plan to invite the king into the urn, and captured the patriarchs of the Wang clan in the form of a banquet, and then took over the two counties, and dismissed all the officials such as the county commanders, county lieutenants, and military affairs of the two counties, and also carried out an inventory of the children of the Wang clan. ”

Han Fei smiled when he heard this, slapped his thigh and said, "Don't look at this Shicheng King's young age, he really has some means, I don't dare to say anything else, but those corrupt officials and corrupt officials and the children of the Wang clan should have been investigated!"

When the owners of several villages in the east heard Han Fei say this, they all said nonsense: "Yes, although we are bandits, we still talk about morality, and those corrupt officials are much more ruthless than us." ”

"I heard that the king of Shicheng also ordered a three-year tax exemption, and there are other rewards for business, agriculture and fishing. ”

At this moment, Shen Huantian sneered and said, "Brothers, you seem to have forgotten your identity, ......right? But the dignified bandits, once the King of Shicheng unifies the three counties, then the next thing he will deal with is us!"

Everyone's faces suddenly changed in unison, and Han Fei sneered and said, "Brother Shen, you don't have to be alarmist, although the King of Shicheng has unified the three counties, this 'mystery' mountain is deep and forested, if they are smart, they will definitely know the difficulties and retreat." ”

"Yes, there have been so many county commanders before, who has never hit the idea of our cottage, and I can't even find the road when I enter the mountain. ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Shen Huantian said lightly: "Brother Han is right, for a while, the King of Shicheng will definitely not do anything to us, he needs to integrate his troops, however, I don't know if you have ever thought about where the large number of soldiers and horses used by the King of Shicheng to subdue the patriarch of the Wang clan came from?"

Saying this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, Qiu Yi had already been instructed by Fang Ling to secretly promote the development of things, so he was curious: "What does Brother Shen mean ......?"

Shen Huantian smiled slightly and said, "Everyone also knows that after the King of Shicheng came to Feng County, he discovered six mines, built a smelter, and then sent soldiers to escort merchants through Gukou Avenue to transport a large number of iron tools out of the city. Compared to the money he makes, what we make from digging mines is nothing more than a penny. With money, everything is convenient, and if I'm guessing correctly, these soldiers were borrowed from the counties around the "Mysterious" Mountains. ”

Fang Ling smiled when he heard this, although this was just Shen Huantian's speculation, but it was also logical, and Fang Ling had also imagined that if he hadn't accidentally known Xi Ling'er's identity, he would indeed have taken the step of borrowing troops from the county, of course, although he was the prince, but those officials were not fuel-efficient lamps, and it would definitely not work without spending money to do it.

As soon as Shen Huantian said this, everyone suddenly understood, and suddenly an unprecedented sense of crisis surged in their hearts.

Shen Huantian looked at everyone and continued: "For the surrounding counties, our 'mysterious' Foggy Mountain bandits are already a big trouble, if the King of Shicheng is now targeting us, do you think they are willing to borrow more soldiers?"
