Chapter Thirty-Eight: Recruiting the Black Tiger
Ji Beigu asked curiously: "I don't know what Gongzi Wei thinks?" ”
Wei Ziheng was in high spirits at this time, ready to do a big job: "Since I have made up my mind to contribute to Brother Beigu, there will naturally be some methods. I don't know, what do you think of the Black Tiger Gang? ”
Zhong Ren said insightfully: "The Black Tiger Gang, a well-known sect in the Wuyue Jianghu area. With a long heritage, the prestige of the Black Tiger Sword has shocked the rivers and lakes. The main stronghold of the Black Tiger Gang should be in the old land of the Yue Kingdom. I don't know when Wei Gongzi mentioned the Black Tiger Gang. ”
Wei Ziheng turned his head and said: "Now that King Yue is around, there are no trustworthy cronies, if you can use the Black Tiger Gang, maybe it will be a big help in the future." ”
Ji Beigu suddenly realized this, and couldn't help but say: "In this way, it does make sense. The Black Tiger Gang's previous attack on Wu Meng was nothing more than a relationship of interest and exploitation. Including the treasures of the former Wu Kingdom, a part of them was also given to the Black Tiger Gang.
Originally, the Black Tiger Gang was a sect on the rivers and lakes, and they did things for us just for money, Wei Gongzi was right, maybe he could really win them over. ”
"In this way, then things will be easy to do, and the current leader of the Black Tiger Gang, Black Tiger, is near this area, if you don't take advantage of this to recruit him. With all kinds of monetary benefits as bait, maybe the black tiger will agree. We want people's hearts. Wei Ziheng proposed the first important method.
Ji Beigu thought about it carefully, and decisively exclaimed: "In this way, this matter is feasible." My whereabouts from Langya to this place are originally secret, and I must not expose myself. Then invite Wei Gongzi and Zhong Daxia to go. ”
Zhong Ren raised his sword and saluted, saying, "Obey." ”
Wei Ziheng also nodded happily. Without further ado, he immediately left the camp tent and ordered two fast horses to prepare for the Black Tiger Gang's nearby station.
At the time of leaving, Ji Beigu ordered people to take out a sword, personally present it to Wei Gongzi, and said: "Brother Ziheng, in order to show my respect, I will give you this sword." Although it is not a peerless sword, it is by no means weaker than those famous swords that have been famous for a long time.
This sword is cast by the craftsmen of our Yue country, and the sword of the monarch of the Yue country is a sub-sword cast by the territory. What is the secondary sword, it is actually a spare sword, and the main sword of this sword is the sword of King Goujian of Yue who was powerful in the past. After the death of my grandfather, this piece has been reserved, according to the ancestral teachings of this kind of sword, will be given to his courtiers by the later king of Yue, as a inheritance. Today, I give it to you. ”
Wei Ziheng, taking the sword with both hands, couldn't help but be shocked by the magnificence of this sword, with the inscription "Yue Wang Goujian, self-acting sword". It is nearly two feet long and five inches wide, the stem is wound with silk rope, and the two sides of the sword grid are inlaid with blue glass. The body of the sword is covered with diamond-shaped dark lines, and the blade is thin and sharp. The workmanship is fine and the shape is gorgeous. This secondary sword is almost the same as the Goujian sword of King Yue that once amazed the four in the alliance of princes.
Wei Ziheng's eyes were almost stunned, this kind of king's sword was the first time he had seen it in his life, and he hurriedly thanked him: "King Yue's great grace is remembered, if I help King Yue seize power, I will definitely return this sword with both hands." ”
Ji Beigu waved his hand, pointed to the other sword placed on the side and said, "You don't have to, this is what I gave you." I don't have to worry about this because this is my grandfather's secondary sword. I originally wanted to hand over to you the secondary sword of my Yue Wang Bushou Sword, but the ancestral law has a text, if I have not passed away, I must not give the attachment to others. ”
Wei Ziheng was quite moved at this time, he never thought that this King of Yue was such a generous and generous person, and it was also the first time that he heard that the Sword of the King of Yue Kingdom would be cast two at the same time and used as a backup.
Zhong Ren and Wei Ziheng, after a brief farewell, rushed to the station of the Black Tiger Gang according to the information from King Yue Bushou's side. Hearing that after assisting the Yue Kingdom in this attack, the Black Tiger Gang will soon return to their territory, Wei Ziheng decided that he must go as soon as possible.
These two elite BMWs of the Yue Kingdom really acted quickly, and the speed was still unabated under the gallop.
Zhong Ren pointed to the tents in front of him that looked a little shabby, and said, "Those coarse cloth tents in front are the stations of the Black Tiger Gang. Wei Gongzi, be careful, the Black Tiger Gang is actually not under the control of Yue Guo. ”
Wei Ziheng had learned some rumors about the Black Tiger Gang a long time ago, and it was said that he had done some things to disobey the king of Yue, which once made the Yue country regarded as an outlier, but with the struggle for hegemony in the north, the matter of the Black Tiger Gang slowly settled down over time. This invitation to the Black Tiger Gang is naturally to deal with Wu Meng, and if you want to win over, you must use this as an opportunity.
Wei Ziheng nodded slightly, and the two of them strode into the station of the Black Tiger Gang. There were several black-robed people from the Black Tiger Gang, who were about to ask about the identities of the two. Zhong Ren took out a piece of Yue Wang token, and directly asked the disciples of the Black Tiger Gang to retreat one after another, and very respectfully invited the two of them to enter the station and meet the Black Tiger.
At this time, the black tiger was discussing the matter of leaving, and when he heard that two people with the order of the king of Yue had arrived, he couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that I was aware of the release of water when I attacked the Wu League? It's a bit hard to explain.
Just when Heihu looked sad and was about to find an excuse to shirk his responsibility, Zhong Ren and Wei Ziheng had already come to this camp tent that still looked very dilapidated.
Zhong Ren immediately greeted in the form of rivers and lakes: "Brother Black Tiger, don't come unharmed, there are some things to discuss when I visit." ”
Black Tiger looked at Zhong Ren, who was known as the number one swordsman in the Yue Kingdom, and said, "I don't know? Brother Zhong Ren, why are you here? ”
At this time, the black tiger was a little nervous in his heart, he was afraid that Zhong Ren would ask why he retreated when he had just attacked Wu Meng? I've been thinking about excuses in my heart.
Wei Ziheng stepped forward with the sword of King Goujian of Yue in his hand, put on the appearance of a messenger, and said: "The envoy of King Immortal in Xiayue has come to meet the leader of the Black Tiger Gang. Please also Black Tiger, please leave the unrelated people present, I have something important to ask. ”
Black Tiger looked at the sword vein pattern sword held by this envoy of the Yue King with a shocked expression, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, this was obviously the style of the sword of the Yue royal family. But the messenger in front of him is the envoy of the king of Yue after all, and he can't be lazy in etiquette, and at the same time, this sword is enough to prove that the status of this envoy is definitely not low. The black tiger, who was already a little rude in his conversational manners, hurriedly ordered: "You guys go out!" ”
The black tiger gestured and said very respectfully, "I don't know what the envoy has to do?" ”
There were only three people left in the tent, Zhong Ren, holding his Yue Shui and standing quietly to the side, observing the black tiger's every move. Wei Ziheng, who also practiced the courtesy of the courtiers of the Yue Kingdom at this time, said: "Black Tiger, I don't know if you ever thought about continuing to grow the Black Tiger Gang?" Now that King Yue is not long, he hopes that the past of the Black Tiger Gang can be written off. ”
When the Black Tiger heard that they did not blame them for attacking the enemy, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, after hearing Wei Ziheng's words, he couldn't help but think: "The envoy is right, the Black Tiger Gang in the past did have some gaps with the Yue Kingdom, but that was all in the past. ”
Wei Ziheng hit the nail on the head and said: "As far as I know, the Black Tiger Gang has been shifting its center of gravity to the north over the years. It is said that assisting the Vietnamese army in attacking the Ngo League itself is an important strategy for your northward advance. You hope to take the opportunity of destroying the Wu League, and you can smoothly enter the Central Plains and those famous factions in the Central Plains. Is that right. ”
The Black Tiger's face gradually fell silent, which was completely different from his expression when he fought, Wei Ziheng had also faced the Black Tiger at close range, and knew how fierce this person was. Maybe it was because there was some chaos at the time, and the black tiger didn't notice himself. The Black Tiger paused for a moment and said: "Yes, it is true, just like the Yue Kingdom, the north enters the Central Plains to dominate the princes, and my Black Tiger Gang is not willing to live in this southeast." The Central Plains is a glorious place, who doesn't want to be able to go to the Central Plains? ”
Wei Ziheng said very calmly: "I was ordered by King Yue to come to discuss this matter with you, I don't know what you think?" ”
"Tell me and see what it is." The black tiger's face gradually revealed a ruffian demeanor.
Wei Ziheng sat upright and said, "King Yue is seeking talent, and he hopes that the Black Tiger Gang can do things for King Yue." ”
"What does that mean?" As the leader, it is not bad for the Black Tiger to have insight into some details between words.
Wei Ziheng quietly approached the black tiger and whispered into his ear: "There is a high mountain in the Langya area, and there is a huge mountain camp in the east of the mountain, and it needs a master. ”
This sentence is like an electric current, which deeply stimulates the black tiger, and now Langya, the capital of the Yue Kingdom, is the former Goujian of the Yue Kingdom, in order to go north to fight for hegemony and move the capital from Huiji to Langya near the Central Plains. At the same time, now the Black Tiger Gang also has the intention to enter the Central Plains, if they can move their nest from the south of Yue to the north to Langya, which is close to the Central Plains. Then it will inevitably greatly promote the development of the Black Tiger Gang, and it is no longer a luxury to enter the Central Plains.
The black tiger was a little moved at the moment, it was nothing more than doing things for King Yue, and it didn't seem to be too difficult, and the black tiger still asked some details cautiously: "The grace of Lord Yue will not be forgotten, but I don't know what a black tiger gang can do for King Yue?" ”
Wei Ziheng tilted his head sideways, smiled slightly and said, "This is a mutually beneficial and win-win move, and it will not treat you Black Tiger Gang badly." I pledge in the name of King Yue. ”
Zhong Ren's face on the side was unmoved, but he already had some doubts in his heart, where is there a huge mountain camp in the Langya area, how could he not know? What the hell is this young man doing in front of him?
The Black Tiger began to shake his head a little, looked ahead and backwards, thought about the problem, and finally gave a clear answer: "Maybe the Black Tiger Gang is willing to serve the King of Yue, but I don't know why this huge Yue Kingdom needs our Black Tiger Gang?" ”
Wei Ziheng said with a mysterious smile: "You will know in the future." At the same time, you will be greeted by King Yue Bushou in person. ”
What the?!
The black tiger gradually felt a little uneasy now, how did this sentence feel like forcing himself to join the gang? And it's the kind of thing that must be promised, and now the face of King Yue, the black tiger must still be given.
Wei Ziheng seemed to clap his hands with some joy, and at the same time stood up, preparing to leave the tent, leaving such a paragraph before leaving: "You will one day, you will be happy for my arrival today." Mr. Black Tiger, cooperate more in the future. Oh, by the way, you can now arrange for people to get ready to leave your old place. After that, someone will come to inform you to meet you in Langya, and now the monarch of Yue is not long. ”
Mr. Black Tiger, no one has ever called Black Tiger that. Looking at these two somewhat strange figures at the same time, I suddenly felt a bit like getting on a thief ship. The black tiger touched his scum, shook his head and said, "Could it be that my Black Tiger Gang is going to be transferred?" Hahaha...... Meddlesome! Meddlesome! ”
