This night, many things happened without warning, when Zhang Lian came, Chen Baifu, Shen Wei, Zhou Dafu and others were sleeping, no one thought that Zhang Lian would come, even including the East 'Gate' celebration, so when he saw Zhang Lian, his face unconsciously 'revealed' a trace of surprise, as if he felt that he had miscalculated.

"It smells of blood!" Dongmen' Qing wrinkled his nose, looked at the knife in Zhang Lian's sheath, and said, "You ......"

"Just killed someone." Zhang Lian didn't hide it at all, and his voice was very cold: "After the knife 'licked' the blood, I suddenly figured out some things, so I came over and asked you a few words." ”

Chen Baifu, Zhou Dafu and the others were a little nervous, and Dongmenqing glanced at Wu Ping, and when he saw that he was still calm, his heart was relieved, and he said, "What does Brother Zhang want to ask?" ”

Zhang Lian said: "You are Xiaowei Lao's subordinate, right?" This sentence was really straightforward, because it was too abrupt and too direct, so the faces of the water snake Cai and the others looked unnatural, and Zhang Lian sneered when he saw it: "It seems that you don't need to answer this question." ”

Who knew that Dongmen' Qing shook his head and said, "I am not Lin Guoxian's subordinate. ”

Zhang Lian frowned and sneered: "You are still dead!" Do you dare to say that you have nothing to do with Lin Guoxian? ”

Dong'men' Qingdao: "We have worked together on some things, but I am not his subordinate. ”

Zhang Lian raised his eyebrows, and suddenly smiled: "That also makes some sense." But you're not happy to come this time! ”

Dong'men Qing said: "We are just seeking a way to survive for ourselves, and we can't say that we have good intentions or bad intentions." Just as you have a father's vengeance and don't take revenge, isn't it for the same reason? ”

Zhang Lian's forehead was angry, and the knife that had not been wiped clean with blood was pulled out by the brush! Chen Baifu and Shen Wei all 'touched' out the dagger when they saw it, blocking in front of the East 'Gate' Qing, the water snake Cai picked up a stool, and saw that he was about to fight, but Zhang Lian didn't move, pointed to the blood stains on the knife and said: "Who said that I have revenge and don't take revenge!" ”

Dongmen' Qing pushed away Chen Baifu Shen Wei, who was blocking him, looked at the bloody knife that looked particularly poignant under the light, and said, "It turns out that you just came from Zhang Houde." But since you have already believed in Shen's 'door', why did you wait until today to do it? ”

Zhang Lian sneered: "Early, late, it's all the same!" ”

"It's different!" Dongmen' Qingdao: "You refused to do it that day because you still have concerns and dreams!" Now that the illusion is shattered, I can't care about anything. Right? Seeing that Zhang Lian didn't answer, he said: "Now that you have killed someone, it is no longer allowed in the imperial court, what are you going to do in the future?" ”

Zhang Lian said coldly: "My father has taken revenge, and I still have my wife's hatred!" Keeping an eye on the East 'Gate' Qing, he shouted like torture and asked: "Ah Lian's matter, is it your ghost!" As he spoke, he took two steps with his sword.

He came alone, and there were more people in the East Gate Qing House than him, but when he drank like this, Shen Wei and the others couldn't help but take a step back, and their momentum was completely suppressed. Suddenly, Wu Ping said in the corner: "Speak and speak, and do it!" If you still want to keep talking, it's best not to 'mess' around! ”

Zhang Lian glanced at him, and when he saw that he was short, he was a little contemptuous, and snorted: "What if I really want to do it?" ”

Zhou Dafu shouted: "You have one person, we have six people...... Lin Feng 'interjected' and said: "Seven!" Zhou Dafu shouted: "Yes! Heptad! We're afraid you won't make it! ”

Zhang Lian 'touched' the blood on his knife and said: "If Alian's death has something to do with you, let alone seven people, even seventeen people don't want to get out of this room!" ”

Zhou Dafu and the others felt a chill in their hearts when they heard this, and said in their hearts: "This is his land!" He's probably in an ambush outside! Otherwise, where would you dare to come in alone? "The momentum is even more discouraged. Wu Ping stood up and said, "Seven people are indeed not many, it may not be enough to kill them from the outside, but if the inside and the outside should rush out of this small Wushi Wai, it may not be impossible!" But before we rush out, you're going to die here! With a snort, the short knife hidden in his arm cut through the bandage of the knife and 'exposed' it.

Zhang Lian's eyes drooped, and he said, "May I ask the name of Gao!" ”

Wu Ping said: "Wu Ping! ”

Zhang Lian snorted, slightly surprised: "It turned out to be you!" He laughed at himself: "It seems that I have been really 'blinded' recently, and I actually thought that you were just an ordinary guard!" He said to the east 'gate' Qing: "You even commanded the generals under the old man Xiaowei, it seems that your status at sea is really not low!" ”

Dong Men' Qing smiled: "It's not high, it's not high, but I still don't care to do the things of molesting 'women', 'women', and 'yin' murder wives." ”

Zhang Lian's face softened slightly, and said, "Ah Lian's death really has nothing to do with you?" ”

East 'Gate' Qingdao: "Exposing the enmity between Zhang Houde and Ling Zun, we have premeditated. As for the matter of the sister-in-law, it is indeed just a coincidence. ”

Zhang Lian pondered for a long time, and finally put the knife back into the sheath, took a step back, Chen Baifu and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and Wu Ping sat back in the corner.

Dongmen' Qing said: "Brother Zhang, what are you going to do with us?" ”

Zhang Lian didn't answer, but asked, "What are you here for?" ”

"What we mean, Shen 'Gate' should have made it clear to you." East 'Gate' Qing said: "We want to invite Brother Zhang to join us. ”

Zhang Lian said: "Why do you want to invite me to join the gang? ”

Dong'men Qingwei hesitated and said with a smile: "To be honest, we have been a little tight on money recently, so we actually want Brother Zhang to bring the money and grain from Shixiacang to join us." ”

Zhang Lian sneered: "It turns out that in the final analysis, it's still for money!" ”

Dong'men Qing also did not deny it, and directly admitted: "Yes! ”

Zhang Lian said: "But if I really want to rebel, I will take Shixia Cang by myself!" Why should I divide it with you any more? ”

Dongmen' Qingdao: "It's not difficult for Brother Zhang to take the stone and go to the warehouse by himself, but what about after that?" Brother Zhang always has to find a place to stay, right? Although Brother Zhang is brave, but at the beginning of the grass, everything is difficult, and there must always be a refuge before gaining a firm foothold, even if Brother Zhang does not come to Nanao, he will get other cottages and seahouses, and this money still has to be 'spent'. ”

Zhang Lian was silent for a moment before he said, "If I go to the sea, what seat can Xiaowei give me?" ”

Zhou Dafu and others couldn't help but 'show' their joy when they heard his words, but Dongmenqing was still very calm, and said: "Although Uncle Lin is healthy now, his age Brother Zhang must know that he will always retire in a few years." "His words clearly mean that if you Zhang Lian comes, you may become Lin Guoxian's heir, so as soon as this remark came out, everyone from Chen Baifu to Lin Feng was surprised, but they didn't dare to question it, thinking that Dongmen' Qing dared to say this, most likely because Lin Guoxian had 'exposed' his mouth.

Zhang Lian had disbelief in his eyes, and sneered: "If I take his place, what are you going to do?" ”

Dongmen' Qing said with a smile: "I'm just a passer-by here, and when I help Uncle Lin solve the problem in front of me, if I have the opportunity, I will find another way." ”

He didn't feel strange when he said this, but said: "I don't want these empty cakes on the wall, I just want to ask, if I go to the sea, what seat can Xiaowei give me?" ”

Dongmen Qingzhi couldn't fool him with false words, and said: "At the beginning of entering the village, the position was equal to Shen 'Gate' and Wu Ping, as for whether he could inherit the throne, it depended on whether the eldest brother could convince the brothers in the village." If Brother Zhang is unhappy in the village and wants to find another high branch, as long as he opens his mouth openly, Uncle Lin will set up a banquet to send him off. If Brother Zhang wants to set up his own 'door' household, Uncle Lin will help Brother Zhang choose an island, prepare a ship, raise food, call for help, and inform the owners of the islands at sea and the governor of Macao to pave the way for the eldest brother. ”

Zhang Lian was quite moved when he heard this, and said, "These are the personal promises of the little tail elder?" ”

The east 'gate' said abruptly: "If you can trust me, you shouldn't ask this sentence!" If you can't trust me, what's the use of me telling you yes? ”

Zhang Lian hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, apologizing: "Brother Wang, forgive me." It's Zhang Lian who is suspicious! ”

Dongmen' Qing said again: "So Brother Zhang is intentional?" ”

Zhang Lian sighed: "Do I still have a choice now?" ”

Since Wu Ping and below, everyone is very happy to hear this sentence! Even the East Gate celebration can't help but 'show' a happy face.

Listening to the sound of the fourth watch, Zhang Lian said: "Time is running out, I just killed the patriarch, this matter is difficult to hide for a long time!" If you want to do it, you have to do it early! ”

Dongmen' Qingdao: "What is Brother Zhang going to do?" ”

Zhang Lian said: "I have saved up for Shixia Cang, and I really came to a prison guard to steal myself, which is really damaging my reputation!" Although Shixiacang is not small, where can it compare to the county government treasury? If the two of us join forces to go to the county seat, first, I can get revenge, and second, you can get money and food in your village! Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? ”

Dongmen' Qingshen 'groaned' for a long time, and said: "You want to go to the county seat to borrow grain?" I'm afraid it's a little difficult. ”

Zhang Lian glanced at him, then looked at Wu Ping, and said: "If only you come from the sea, it will naturally not be easy, but if there is 'chaos' within Raoping, it will be much easier for us to take things out of it." "Dongmen' Qing asked how to give birth to internal 'chaos', Zhang Lian said: "In the past two years, the 'tide' state capital has not been good, the court above has banned the sea, and the corrupt officials below are rampant, and the people have been bored and complained. At present, Rao Pingliu people are everywhere, as long as there is a little trick, even if it is not 'chaotic'! I invite local heroes to work together, and we will succeed! ”

The east 'gate' rejoiced: "If this is the case, then what are we worried about!" Everything is hosted by Brother Zhang! ”

Suddenly, there was some unusual sound outside the 'door', and another figure shook, Zhang Lian shouted: "What person! Then I saw two descendants of Benwei appear and said: "Collect the classics, Brother Per, let's take a look." Zhang Lian smiled at the East Gate: "They don't worry about me!" Dongmenqing smiled and expressed understanding, and Zhang Lian said: "I'll go to them first, and then come back to discuss the specific plan with Brother Wang." "The East Gate celebration should be good.

After Zhang Lian said goodbye, he returned home, and there were more than a dozen descendants gathered in the house, all of whom were his close friends, and several of them asked when they saw him: "Saving Dian, do you really want to do it?" "It's so exciting! Zhang Lian glanced at them a few times under the lamp and sighed: "I have starved you in the past few years, and from now on, we will no longer care about the rules of those birds in the court!" Let's get down to the grass! In the future, drink wine in a big bowl and eat 'meat' in large pieces! ”

Several juniors cheered when they heard this, and Zhang Po shouted in a low voice: "Be quiet! The cheers were silenced.

Zhang Po asked Wang Si about it again, Zhang Lian glanced at Zhang Lang, and said briefly, Zhang Lang stammered: "He turned out to be from Xiaowei Lao's side?" That...... That...... Then I'm ......"

Zhang Po said unhappily: "You are luring the wolf into the room!" ”

Zhang Lian stopped his younger brother and didn't let him say anything and hurt Zhang Lang, and said: "Don't mention this matter again, it's me, I didn't see through their origin at the beginning!" ”

Zhang Po said: "Then do we really want to join forces with them?" They have just used a lot of 'yin' tricks against us! ”

Zhang Lian said: "I didn't want to break the law at the beginning, so I didn't promise them. Now that we want to be opposed, it's always good to have a little more strength! Everything is focused on the overall situation, and designing to earn us is a thing of the past, and put it aside! There is such a *** court, and we are not people who are willing to die of poverty and old age for the rest of their lives, no matter whether Xiaowei comes to earn us or not, it is a matter of time before we fall into the grass! However, I am not familiar with things at sea, and I have no old 'friendship' with Koo, so I have to see if I go to Kooo's side or not. And we can't put all our chickens and eggs in one basket! Apo, you go now, take a trip to Tai Po, one is to pay tribute to Zheng Baye, thank him for his care to us over the years, and the other is to see if you can invite them to shoot together, if the South China Sea and Beishan can do both, then the odds will be much greater! ”

Zhang Po agreed, and Zhang Lian said to Zhang Lang again: "Brother, Wang Si, you go and appease you." We have to join forces with them now, and we must communicate in time to avoid misunderstandings! ”

Don't say that Zhang Lian dispatched troops here, but said that since Zhang Lian left in the East Gate, Chen Baifu and the others were all happy, and they all said: "Wang Gongzi is really a lucky general, as long as he comes out, there is nothing that can't be done!" ”

Dongmen' Qing smiled slightly and said, "This is just the beginning of things, and there are still dozens of miles to go before 'Cheng'!" Then he said to Wu Ping: "Now that the patriarch of Wushiwei is dead, Zhang Lian has agreed to cooperate with us, and our actions can be let go a little in the future, so that the brothers over there in the old house can sharpen their knives and eat well, and be ready to do things at any time!" ”

Wu Ping said: "Can you trust Zhang Lian? ”

Dongmen' Qingdao: "It doesn't sound like a fake. If he had intended to harm us, he would have sent someone to surround this house! But I don't think he's very close to us in his words, and I've heard Uncle Lin say that he's so wide-ranging, and maybe there's another way out, so we can't listen to him all! Said to Chen Baifu: "Wait for Zhang Lian to allow us to contact the outside, you go to contact Shen 'Gate', let him divide his troops into two ways, all the way to the open, and the manpower will be led by Wu Ping, in order to cooperate with Zhang Lian's actions, all the way to the secret, let him lead by himself, and have another use." He said to Zhou Dafu again: "No matter how Zhang Lian is going to act, he will invite me to go with Wu Ping." At that time, you will stay here on the pretext of taking care of Lin Feng. When Shen 'Gate' arrives, he should close the inside and outside, and take this stone from the warehouse. ”

Zhou Dafu was happy when he heard it, but Chen Baifu said: "Didn't we promise Zhang Lian not to take the stone and go to the warehouse?" ”

The east 'gate' Qing said with a smile: "If you don't take the stone, he said it himself!" When did I say yes? Besides, he said that he didn't want to bear the notoriety of being a prisoner and a thief—this was too unbelievable! In my opinion, most of him wanted to get this stone warehouse himself, and he didn't want us to get involved. Although there is money and grain in the county, it is not necessary to say whether you can get it! It's best to be able to 'borrow' it, but if we can't 'borrow', can't we wait to starve? The replenishment of our fleet is almost at an end! Can't take any chances! ”

After dawn, Zhang Lian brought Zhang Lang to discuss the plan with the East 'Gate' Qing, and after the strategy was decided, they split up, and allowed the people of the East 'Gate' Qing to enter and exit from the small 'gate' in the northwest of Wushiwei. Wu Ping went to the old house and came back, and saw that Zhou Dafu and Chen Baifu in the house went out to do things after receiving the order of the East 'Gate' Qing, and there was no third person in the house, so he suddenly said: "Brother Wang, they trust you very much!" ”

East Gate Qing nodded again and again: "Yes! I'm wandering around now, and I don't have anything in my pocket, but every time I see the way they look at me, I feel grounded! ”

"It is indeed rare to have such a group of brothers who trust them." Wu Ping said: "But Brother Wang, trust can't be eaten!" You are now dangling and have no foundation, how long can their trust in you last? How should you go in the future, what kind of reward can you give these brothers, have you thought about these things? ”

Dongmenqing was stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't answer for a while.
