Twenty-fourth Give way and wash your hands
In the courtyard of the Wang family in Wuliuzhuang, fifty sturdy men were neatly arranged, black clothes, carrying long knives and long bows, Wang Yongan and Xue Gang stood in the front, Wang Yongan said loudly: "Everyone, this is the third son of the Shuangliang King, Tongcheng Tiger Xue Gang, will replace me as the green forest scoop handle on Hebei Zhongbei Road, and after I wash my hands in the golden basin, all the things will be handed over to the third lord to deal with." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info I will no longer ask about the affairs of the rivers and lakes in the future, you are all brothers who have followed me for many years, if you are willing to retire with me, please stand up, and others will follow the three lords in the future! ”。
The people below coaxed and discussed, Wang Yongan has been the leader of the alliance for so many years, it is still good for everyone, the fifty men here are the descendants of the alliance leader, and they are also the direct force to maintain the status of the alliance leader, and many of the fathers of the people are following Wang Yongan.
Wang Yongan waved his hand, and the servant next to him ran to the house and took out two big boxes, Wang Yongan opened them, which were full of white silver, Wang Yongan waved his hand again, and the servant took out a big box and opened the lid, which was full of yellow and clear gold. Wang Yongan arched his hand towards the people below, "Everyone, this silver, two ingots per person, is considered the settlement fee I gave to everyone, from now on, we have nothing to do with each other, there are those who are willing to follow the three lords, this gold is rewarded by the three lords, and the three lords will follow the three lords in the future!" ”。
Xue Gang saw Wang Yongan signaling to him, so he walked up to the gold, picked up a piece of gold, and signaled to everyone, "Today's gold is from the old alliance master, follow me in the future, and in the future I will be promoted and make a fortune, some are beneficial, and I will not be reluctant to do it!" ”。
Wang Yongan said: "Tomorrow, the three lords will set off with me to go to Taihang Mountain Village, everyone will go back to prepare after taking the settlement fee, and tomorrow, I am willing to follow the three lords to gather here, and set off on time!" Come and get it! ”。
The people below talked a lot, they were all men on the rivers and lakes, and slowly people began to come out, and after taking the silver, they took the gold. Seeing that someone took the lead, everyone quickly finished it, only a dozen people only took the silver, Wang Yongan took a look, they were all veterans over fifty years old, and his heart was warm, they were all men who followed him to send troops and horses, and now they are all people with children and grandchildren.
Wang Yongan bowed to Xue Gang and took a box from the side, "Xue Gang, this is the token of the Hebei Green Forest Alliance, which will be delivered to you today, and you will be the leader of the alliance in the future, you must be kind to the brothers, but Wuliuzhuang is my ancestral property, and it has nothing to do with the alliance leader, tomorrow, I will take you to Taihang Mountain Village, which is the territory of the green forest in Hebei Province, as for whether you can serve the public, it depends on your ability, I can only help you so much!" ”。 Xue Gang also hugged his fists and saluted back, "Thank you for the grace of the old alliance leader, let Xue Gang repay you in the future!" ”。
Wang Yongan took more than a dozen of his old subordinates and left, leaving this place to Xue Gang. Out of the gate of the farm, watching the gate close behind him, Wang Yongan said loudly to the veterans who followed him out. "Let's go, old brothers, come to my house today, whoever is not drunk will not want to leave!" The veterans also loudly promised, "I should have retired a long time ago, and I must have a good drink with my brother today!" ”。
Li Ziqiu didn't know what was happening in the farm, so he had breakfast, packed his bags, and led the horse to wait not far in front of Rongyue's house. The gate of the Wang family is closed, Li Ziqiu feels strange, why is the door closed? . If Li Ziqiu usually went to knock on the door directly, now that he has decided on a family matter, he would be a little embarrassed. After waiting for a while and seeing that there was no movement, I was about to go up and knock on the door, when I heard the sound of footsteps and talking coming from the back of the house not far away.
Wang Yongan took his old subordinates, and as soon as he turned the corner, he saw Li Ziqiu, and when he saw Li Ziqiu leading the horse with his luggage, he guessed that he was planning to go out with him. I'm quite satisfied, this kid has a bit of a conscience. He said to his old subordinates: "This kid, everyone knows each other, right?" ”。
Li Ziqiu saw Wang Yongan coming over with a group of people, and hurriedly walked over to give a salute, "Uncle Wang, aren't you going out today?" He was a little confused, these old men are all from Zhuangzi, and they usually say hello when they see Li Ziqiu, why are they all wearing black clothes today, and they are all the same, dressed like the bandits in the village? .
A veteran said: "Li boy, we all know each other, very good boy, I heard that he is married to Miss Fushang?" Wang Yongan said to Li Ziqiu: "Come here, give a salute to your uncles!" Brothers, this is my new son-in-law, and I will be my own family in the future."
Li Ziqiu saluted the veterans one by one, and the veterans also looked at Ziqiu happily. Wang Yongan looked at Li Ziqiu's confused eyes, and explained to him as he walked: "They are all old subordinates who followed me to send troops and release horses, and then I went back to my hometown, and they followed me again, it is only by them that I can sit in the position of the leader of this alliance, and now, I have passed the position to Xue Gang, there are no rules to bind it, we old brothers are all relatives like a family, you have to respect them as I in the future, understand?" ”。
Wang Yongan's knocking on the door was very rhythmic, and Li Ziqiu guessed that it might be a code. Sure enough, the door opened, Wang Jiayu dressed up, and when he saw Wang Yongan with a smile on his face and Li Ziqiu coming back with more than a dozen veterans, he knew that things were going well, "Uncles, hurry up and invite inside, the banquet is ready!" ”。
This is Li Ziqiu's official arrival as a son-in-law, the banquet was drunk from morning to evening, a group of old men were drunk, fortunately, they were all from Wuliuzhuang, Li Ziqiu, Jiahe, and Jiayu sent them all home. Li Ziqiu secretly remembered that these were all members of the Wang family, on the surface, they were their own families, but in fact they were all members of the Wang family. These veterans turned out to be Wang Yongan's personal soldiers!
When he set off for Taihang Mountain, it was Xue Gang who took twenty people and disguised himself as a caravan. Wang Yongan set off three days later, with the remaining dozen or so people, who can now be regarded as Xue Gang's people. Wang Yongan sat in the car, everyone else became grooms and buddies, and Li Ziqiu's green coat and hat became Wang Yongan's follower.
These people are people on the green forest road, so naturally they will not come to trouble without opening their eyes, and this is just to hide the eyes and ears of the government. The government also turns a blind eye, as long as it does not kill officials and rebel, rob and rob openly, the government also needs these dark forces to help them maintain the order of the underground world.
The owner of the big village of Taihang Mountain Bear King Village is the Bandit Bear King, the second owner is the Flying Tiger Yu Feihu, and the third owner is the jade-faced little overlord Meng Fei. Under the command of 500 cavalry, 3,000 brothers, hidden in the Taihang Mountain, divided into three large villages, speaking of the bandit village here, there is already some history, from the Sui Dynasty Yang Guang into the army of Goryeo, Hebei experienced the chaos of the end of the Sui Dynasty, the people are not living, many people ran into the Taihang Mountain to live a savage-like life.
Later, there were more and more people, and gradually formed a bandit nest, and then gradually became an organized green forest village, Wang Jun can become the general owner of Dazhai by stepping off the horse and having a knife in his hand. Later, he led some brothers to rebel and defected to the Wagang army, but the green forest village here has been preserved.
Later, Wang Junke made an accident, Wang Yongan returned to his hometown, and regained the position of the head of the village by relying on his ancestral Yu Yin and outstanding martial arts. In the past seven or eight years, Wang Yongan has basically ignored the affairs of Taihang Mountain, and he intends to withdraw from the Green Forest Road, so he only retains the legitimate business, and the rest has been given to Xiong Da.
This time he brought Xue Gang to Taihang Mountain, and Wang Yongan was just doing his best, after all, he couldn't be sorry for the trust of the old man. What happens to Xue Gang in the future depends on Xue Gang's ability. According to Wang Yongan's estimate, it is not easy to pull up a team from Taihang Mountain. Xue Gang now has nothing to do except for a name, even these followers are also bought by themselves with gold and silver.
Wang Yongan was not worried about letting Li Ziqiu follow him to take risks, but after Wang Rongyue talked to Wang Yongan alone for a while, Wang Yongan was completely relieved. Rong Yue pulled Wang Yongan to her room and said, "Father, my daughter knows that you are going to do something big, but for your safety, I want Li Ziqiu to follow you!" Wang Yongan said: "Yue'er, I'm going to Taihang Mountain, it's not a high martial arts to ensure safety, as the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat four hands, there is not much difference between bringing one person and not bringing one, can Li Ziqiu still restrain them all by himself?" ”。
Rong Yue smiled and said to Wang Yongan: "Father, there are some things that are difficult to say, I'll show you", after speaking, Rong Yue said to the window: "Ziqiu, you come and talk to your father", Wang Yongan looked out of the window suspiciously, the air in front of the window fluctuated like water ripples, and Li Ziqiu appeared in front of him.
Wang Yongan looked at Li Ziqiu solemnly, "Li Ziqiu, have you practiced witchcraft?" Li Ziqiu saluted Wang Yongan: "Father-in-law, what I practice is not witchcraft, but immortal arts, and I don't hide it from my father-in-law, in fact, Wu Gang, the master of Rongyue, is Wu Gang in the Moon Palace, and he is an immortal in the sky, and Rongyue is now considered a successful cultivator, and he can also be called an immortal."
Rongyue bowed to her father, "Father, without the permission of the master, Yue'er doesn't dare to teach her family and the law of cultivation privately, after Yue'er has asked the master, she should pass on the method of cultivation to her family, and Yue'er also looks forward to our family becoming immortals!" Wang Yongan still didn't believe it very much, Li Ziqiu recited the spell, rode the clouds, and rose into the air, only Wang Yongan and Rongyue could see it, and the others were invisible to Li Ziqiu's spell.
Li Ziqiu escaped back to the room from the air, and Wang Yongan nodded, "You are all people with immortal fate, I originally knew Xue Dingshan's master Wang Xi Lao Zu, and Fan Lihua's master is Li Shan's old mother, who is also a fairy among the gods, but these two people are not in the world to create a meritorious career, and have never become immortals, so I know that the road to immortality is not available to everyone, and only if there is a fate, you can cultivate, otherwise it will only be a flower in the mirror, the moon in the water, in this case, Ziqiu, you will go with me, Yue'er, you are at home to guard the door, you cultivate immortals, Don't let others know, after all, this is not something that mortals can understand, if it spreads, I'm afraid of causing trouble! ”。
In this way, Wang Yongan set off with Li Ziqiu alone, he knew very well that with Li Ziqiu here, there would be no big danger in the trip to Taihang Mountain, the situation was not good, just let Li Ziqiu run with him.
