78. Recruitment
"This king is now recruiting dead soldiers, I wonder if the Wutang master has any intentions?"
Wu Tingyuan was shocked in his heart, looked up at King Han, and did not answer immediately.
King Han continued: "There are as many as two hundred people in your Shengyuan Hall, all of them are strong in martial arts, and the ability of killers is extremely high, is what this king said right?" ”
Wu Tingyuan only said: "Yes, there are more than 200 people in Shengyuan Hall, and as for the martial arts ability, His Royal Highness the King of Han praised it falsely, but it was just a small fight, not a climate, and it was just a mouthful of food." If he is really very capable, this mission will not disappoint King Han. ”
King Han snorted and said, "Lord Wutang is humble. As for the failure of this mission, Master Wutang should not take it to heart. The king has ascertained that the day was indeed expected of the action, and an ambush was laid. You can't blame the Wutang Lord or the killer of the operation for this matter. Now, the king is waiting to recruit 3,000 dead men for his use. If the two hundred or so people of the Shengyuan Hall can join this king under the leadership of the Wutang master, this king will be extremely happy. As for the treatment, Master Wutang can rest assured that he will not treat you badly. With this king, this glory and wealth will be inexhaustible. ”
Wu Tingyuan hesitated, but said: "In terms of treatment, I am naturally not worried, but we are just a group of grass people, accustomed to a humble and comfortable life, and never thought that we would enter the palace and live that kind of life, after all, we are still tightly restricted." Besides, the two hundred or so people under me have uneven martial arts and limited abilities, so I am afraid that they will not be able to meet the requirements of His Royal Highness the King of Han. ”
When King Han heard him say this, he actually refused politely, he frowned slightly, and said again: "Master Wutang is being modest again, this king naturally investigated and mentioned this matter to Master Wutang." In this way, your last few missions were secretly arranged by this king, in order to see how many catties and taels you have, and as a result, they were completed very smoothly, and many of the conditions we put forward were also met. The king is very satisfied, and this is why he intends to take you under his banner. Otherwise, the general Jianghu organization, this king really can't look down on it. ”
Wu Tingyuan was taken aback, it turned out that in the last few missions, there was King Han standing behind him.
King Han continued: "That Qiu Juren just offended my next person, and he didn't deserve to die, but when this king was tempting you, he gave you a practice, and also proposed that after you kill him, you will move the body elsewhere, and you have done it very well." Also, the big man of the teahouse, who was also the person I decided at will, asked you to kill, but you not only finished it, but also killed it within the time we specified. These many satisfactions gave me the idea of taking you under my command and joining the three thousand dead men. ”
Knowing this, Wu Tingyuan felt a little inexplicably anxious in his heart, he was deceived by others but didn't know it. Although, the two people who killed them were not wronged. That Qiu Juren, because his mother prevented him from taking the exam, actually pushed his mother into the pond and drowned him, and the government did not find out about it, but they found out; And that big man is a murderer who killed many innocent people, such a person, it is not a pity to die. However, being deceived into doing this, Wu Tingyuan was still extremely unhappy in his heart.
Moreover, the word "casual" said by the king of Han shows that the king of Han is really immoral, and he will determine the life and death of others at will, and he doesn't care at all. Although Shengyuan Hall is a hall of killers, it still attaches great importance to people's life and death, and if it is not a person who must be killed, it will not be killed. How could he lead many people from Shengyuan Hall to join him?
Wu Tingyuan made up his mind in his heart that he must not enter the command of the King of Han.
I also heard the king of Han say: "Master Wutang, I also admit that what you just said is reasonable, you are grass people, and when it is not necessary, there is no need to make a big move, and you have left the comfortable life before. It's just that I don't know if Master Wutang knows that your comfortable days are not long. ”
Wu Tingyuan raised his head and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Han, why did you say this?" ”
King Han smiled slightly, and said: "It seems that you don't know, now that Dongchang has set up branches, stationed in various cities, and the branches in charge of this city have already targeted you, ready to wipe you out." If I hadn't been maneuvering around it, I'm afraid I would have served you a long time ago. Knowing this, will you still stick to your previous life and make no changes? ”
Wu Tingyuan closed his eyes and opened them again.
So it was, on the day Qiu Juren died, Xu Zi and the others were not pursued, it turned out to be the greeting of King Han.
Seeing that Wu Tingyuan was silent, King Han seemed to be a little hesitant, so he changed his words and said to himself: "That's it, you don't need to answer me immediately, I'll give you a month, go back and think about it, and then give me an answer." Over there in Dongchang, you don't have to worry about it this month, I will keep you safe in January. But after a month, it's hard to say. ”
Wu Tingyuan arched his hand and said, "His Royal Highness King Xie Han protects my Shengyuan Hall thoroughly. After I return to the church, I will consult with all the brothers, and then reply to His Royal Highness the King of Han as soon as possible. "There is no second way now, and we will talk about the matter first.
King Han nodded, and patted Wu Tingyuan again: "I, I still hope that you can join my command, so that it will be good for everyone." ”
Wu Tingyuan saw that in the eyes of King Han, he had the confidence that he was bound to win, and it seemed that if he refused, what would happen was not necessarily.
It's not going to be that simple. What King Han said was naturally not.
"And the grass man went back." Wu Tingyuan saluted and said.
"Go ahead." King Han turned his head and signaled for the man surnamed Hu to send Wu Tingyuan out.
The man in the Chinese costume understood, and walked out of the private room with Wu Tingyuan.
Sent downstairs, the man surnamed Hu saw that there was no one around, so he said to Wu Tingyuan: "Master Wutang, seeing that you are also very serious in doing things, and you are never afraid of taking responsibility, I respect you as a man, and I will explain it to you." You'd better agree to His Royal Highness the King of Han's request, otherwise, His Highness has spent so much effort and burned again, I'm only afraid that there will be no one who can survive in your Shengyuan Hall. ”
Wu Tingyuan's heart tightened.
But this only turned what he had guessed into reality. Also, since the King of Han is violent, there is no reason to keep them.
"Thank you, Brother Hu, for mentioning it." Wu Tingyuan arched his hand and said, "I'll take my leave." ”
The man surnamed Hu also returned the salute.
Wu Tingyuan rode on his horse.
The sound of horses' hooves faded away at the end of the street.
The man surnamed Hu watched the man and horse disappear, sighed, turned around and left.
Wu Tingyuan rode on his horse and walked for a long time.
Suddenly, it was all Nan Ke's dream just now.
What Han King, what dead soldiers, what Dongchang, are all ridiculous.
He is just the master of the Shengyuan Hall, and his subordinates are just the killers of the Shengyuan Hall, nothing, nothing has changed, and there will be no change.
It would be nice if that could be the case.
How nice is that......
The lonely figure is reflected in the dazzling sunlight.
