Chapter Ninety-One: Catching the Wind

After sending a few people from Shuanglongling to his residence, Zhu Tong was reluctant to continue to face these few people who had offended the three leaders here, so as not to be hated. Therefore, he did not have too much politeness, and soon offered to leave.

Lin Fan and the others also knew Zhu Tong's thoughts, so they didn't keep it. After Zhu Tong turned to leave, Lin Fan looked at where they were going to live next.

It was a dilapidated yard, fenced off with some old fence stakes, full of holes made by decay or the entry and exit of livestock, and the effect of such a fence wall can be imagined.

In the courtyard, there were two thatched houses that were also dilapidated, and the houses looked crooked, as if they were about to collapse at any moment.

A few people entered the house and looked around, and the thatched hut was not much better than the shacks where the refugees lived, the inside of the house was dark and damp, and the space was cramped and cramped.

But at least it looks pretty clean, and the tables, chairs and benches are all available, and they should have been cleaned in advance, so the water bandits are not too much.

Under this kind of condition, not to mention the young master of a rich and noble family like Lin Fan, even He Fang Zhang Ping frowned a little. But fortunately, everyone is a military person, not so squeamish, and they can bear it.

It's just that although they never expected these bandits to build pavilions in the reeds, this is really too bad.

Even when they went all the way, there were at least a few places that were better than here, and it was obvious that this was because they had offended the three leaders of Yun Mengze, and they had deliberately arranged for them.

Bowing his head and entering the house, Lin Fan didn't pay attention to it, pulled a chair and sat down, and then beckoned the others to sit down.

After making sure that there was no one around, Zhang Ping was a little angry and said, "My lord, these people are too much!" I think it's better to let them change the yard for us again! ”

Lin Fan smiled, "Don't complain, I think it's good here!" Although it is broken, it is also because of this, it is relatively remote here, and few people come, which is just convenient for us to discuss and act. ”

Chen Fangshu also nodded, agreeing with Lin Fan's statement.

Wang Hu said at this time: "My lord, were you too reckless just now, if you really tore your face with Yun Mengze just now, I'm afraid you will be in danger!"

Lin Fan shook his head, "Listen to what they mean, this time they are all in charge of all forces, and at least they can speak." It's just us, a few inconspicuous little people. ”

"The words of that person just now were just for the sake of testing, to see how many catties and taels we had. If I didn't make a move just now, we would be treated as soft persimmons, and whoever wants to pinch it will pinch it! Only by taking action to deter can people know that although we are not big shots, we are not at the mercy of others. ”

Chen Fangshu smiled: "And it's not just them who test us, the adults are also trying to tempt!" Judging from the results, Wang Yunye really planned a lot this time! ”

Wang Hu asked suspiciously, "How can this be seen?"

"Yun Mengze water bandits have never taken other forces seriously, if in the past, the adults made a provocation, with Yun Mengze's temperament, I am afraid that we would have been taken down a long time ago, and then sent someone to Shuanglongling to ask for an explanation. If you encounter a short-tempered person, it is possible to kill us directly, where will there be such a good temper! ”

"And their behavior like this today, there must be some kind of plot that will make them endure for the time being, just as the so-called small intolerable will make a big plan!"

Chen Fangshu's final joke made everyone laugh out loud, He Fang smiled: "If those bandits find out, it is their forbearance made in order to take into account the overall situation that makes them show their feet, I'm afraid their lungs will explode!"

"I think that in addition to the purpose of testing Yun Mengze, the purpose of the adult's move this time should also be to act for others to see, right?" Chen Fangshu looked at Lin Fan and asked.

"Fang Shu is right! We're new to this place, so we're not familiar with this place. And those who came early undoubtedly know more about the situation here than we do. ”

"But if you come to the door to ask, people may not be rare to take care of you, rather than asking for someone to come to you, it is better to wait for someone to take the initiative to come to the door. Now that our actions at the ferry have fallen into the eyes of those who have a heart, I am afraid that in the next two days, that person should be found! ”

Chen Fangshu sighed: "Yes! All the forces that have come now are worried about what kind of medicine is being sold in the gourd of Wang Yunye's Fengtian Conference! ”

"Now that Yun Mengze's family is dominant, other forces can only compete with it if they are united. But even if we huddle together for warmth, we must show our strength, otherwise even if we join, we can only be used as cannon fodder. ”

"Your Excellency's performance just now is undoubtedly showing our strength, and with strength, there is a basis for cooperation. If we really join forces, we can also win a certain right to speak, at least we will not be consumed as cannon fodder. ”

"Among the current forces, on the surface, we have the lowest status, and there is not even one who can talk to the major leaders, and even the identity of Lei Geng faked by Brother Wang Hu may not be seen by others. And the adult's move is indeed more risky, but it is also a helpless move. ”

Chen Fangshu and Lin Fan explained these clearly, and the rest of them realized that there was so much meaning in Lin Fan's seemingly nonsensical actions.

Seeing He Fang and Zhang Ping's flattering expression, Lin Fan knew what kind of fart they were going to make, and he smiled to stop He Fang and Zhang Ping's sycophants that were about to speak.

He continued: "That's not enough, we can't all rely on outsiders. We are new here, out of hospitality, Yun Mengze should come to the banquet for Brother Wang Hu tonight, and we can also take this opportunity to collect news. ”

Wang Hu asked suspiciously, "But we just offended their three leaders today, will they still do this?"

"Yes, there are so many pairs of eyes staring, even if you pretend to be them, you have to pretend to be them! However, this kind of thing Wang Yunye should not come out in person, and Huang Xinfeng definitely doesn't want to see us, which means that this matter should fall on the head of the second leader, Liao Guangpu. ”

"When the time comes, Brother Wang Hu and I will go to the banquet, and a few of you will stay in the name of staying to take care of the house, and then you can find an excuse to go out and walk around, but you must also keep a low profile and not attract attention."

Lin Fan didn't worry that Wang Hu would go alone, worried that he would accidentally show his flaws and be noticed by Yun Mengze's bandits.

So he also wanted to follow, first, to facilitate the care, and secondly, to see if he could take the opportunity to get some unexpected gains, so he made this arrangement.

Seeing that several people understood what they were going to do, Lin Fan smiled and said, "Okay, after that, let's take a rest first!" Raise your spirits so that you can do things at night! ”

As Lin Fan expected, Zhu Tong really came again after nightfall.

"Leader Lei, our leader has prepared a few glasses of thin wine, and I will invite a few of them. It is not only for you to receive the wind and wash the dust, but also to apologize to you for today's events, please Leader Lei and a few brothers must appreciate the light! ”

Wang Hu said with a smile: "What did Leader Zhu say, we also did something wrong in today's matter, how dare we let a few leaders break the bank, we should apologize to several leaders in person." With Brother Lao Zhu leading the way, let's set off! ”

Seeing a strong man like Wang Hu trying his best to make a crepe look to himself, Zhu Tong secretly laughed.

I have long heard that the You brothers have not read for a few days, but they like to be vassals and elegant, but I didn't expect their subordinates to be the same.

"Leader Thunder, please come with me!" Zhu Tong said to Wang Hu.

He saw that only Wang Hu and Lin Fan followed, and Chen Fangshu and the others did not go out, so he asked with some confusion: "The rest of the brothers are not going?"

Wang Hu laughed: "Several of them are landlubbers, and they are a little seasick along the way, and they have no appetite, so I let them rest!"

Zhu Tong smiled, didn't care, and didn't ask much. Anyway, the leader values these two people, and it doesn't matter if the others go or not.

Just after Lin Fan and the others walked away, in order not to arouse suspicion, Chen Fangshu and the others waited for another half an hour before they started to act.

The three of them acted separately, He Fang, Zhang Ping, and the two of them together, and Chen Fangshu walked around on this island all the way.

On the way, Chen Fangshu suddenly stopped. After coming out, he noticed that two figures were following him not far behind, and he was deliberately testing the two of them.

The two obviously didn't expect Chen Fangshu to stop suddenly, which caught them off guard, and they quickly stopped. However, he quickly adjusted, pretending to be casual and looking at the scenery around him.

It's just that their instantaneous reaction just now has made Chen Fangshu sure that there is indeed someone following him.

Chen Fangshu dusted off the dust on his clothes, plucked the reeds and played with them in his hands, and continued to move forward as if nothing had happened. The two people behind him breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly followed.

Slowly, the two of them gradually realized that the person in front of them was just walking around the island aimlessly, and then chatting with passers-by from time to time.

The issue discussed is nothing more than the fact that several major forces have already come, and when did those who came first arrive.

In the eyes of those who followed, there was nothing wrong with the questions Chen Fangshu asked.

Almost every faction will inquire about this news when they come here, after all, for all factions, this place is unfamiliar. No one wants to be a deaf or blind man here, lest he be sold and have to help people pay for it.

This is human nature, not to mention that it can't ask anything, so as long as it doesn't involve the secrets on the island, Yun Mengze generally won't ask, let alone stop it.

Seeing that Chen Fangshu was very honest, the people who followed him gradually let down their guards, and followed Chen Fangshu back to his residence, and the two of them didn't find any abnormal behavior of Chen Fangshu, so they went back to resume their lives.

In fact, being monitored and followed is not Chen Fangshu's unique treatment, and other forces are the same, as long as they go out of the house, they will follow one or two tails behind.

After all, with so many forces coming here, Yun Mengze couldn't rest assured.

And other people know more or less, but after all, they are on other people's territory now, so they can only endure it.

Fortunately, as long as they didn't make trouble, Yun Mengze didn't restrict their freedom, and although the atmosphere between the two sides was tense, they could still be safe for the time being.
