Chapter 18: Going and Staying
Xu Maogong followed Liu Chen into Liu Chen's room and closed the door smoothly, he knew that Liu Chen had something to say to himself when he asked him to come in.
"Dao Chief, what do you think of the leaders of the Barbarian Cow Village?" The process did not drag, and asked directly to the point: "I want to recruit them all under my command and take them to Liangdu, which is good for the expansion of our Liangdu power, and they have several grandmasters, if we add the teaching of our high-level martial arts, I believe that their strength will also have a qualitative leap, maybe there will be a great grandmaster." ”
"Lord, our current power is actually just starting, if they are all added, will it cause the tail to be big, after all, they are used to being free in this village, and if they are suddenly restrained, it will not be good. In addition, I think that Antler Mountain is a good place, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it also controls the main road across the Hengfeng Mountains, we can't lose it here, we must hold it in our own hands. Xu Maogong silently touched his chin, which did not have much long beard, and said to Liu Chen.
"That's fine, but Daoist, can you help me convince them to join us?" asked Liu Chen.
"This is a bit difficult, they are now attached to our fledgling force, they are helpless, Yuan is not as good as their current life, and the other is high-level martial arts, which can be used as a condition to talk to them. Xu Maogong looked at Liu Chen and said.
"Oh, by the way, Dao Chief, this Manniuzhai Duan family sisters are Wu Bo's niece, their mother is Aunt Mei's little sister, in-law's little sister, and Duan Mei and Kang Ren are married, Kang Ren is the master of Dazhai, that is, Wu Bo's niece and son-in-law. Liu Chen suddenly thought that Xu Maogong didn't know about this matter, and with this relationship, it would be much easier to persuade Manniu Village.
Xu Maogong's eyes lit up when he heard this: "In this way, then I am seventy percent sure, with this layer of kinship, plus the leaders of Manniuzhai are very united, so as long as they belong to us, whether they are with us or stay here, they have concerns, and they can be regarded as a backhand." ”
"Dao Chief, you are wrong, my Liu Chen's principle of doing things and employing people is to use people without suspicion and without suspicion. Since we use them, we don't need to worry about them, and if we have them, we will have some pimples in our hearts, which is not conducive to our development. Liu Chen said to Xu Maogong with a slight straight face.
"What the lord said is that I owe it to me. Xu Maogong also agreed with Liu Chen's statement, after all, as a courtier, he also hopes that there will be a Ming monarch who can let the courtier be loyal to the king without worry.
"Well, you will bother to get the chapter, persuade them and I'll leave it to you, but Uncle Wu and Aunt Mei will also help you on the side. Liu Chen said with a sigh of relief.
"Then I'll prepare. Xu Maogong gave Liu Chen a salute and withdrew. And Liu Chen also came out after him, found Lin Chong, and walked with Lin Chong towards the room where the guards were recuperating, preparing to go and see these brothers again before leaving.
At dinner, Liu Chen and the others had basically cleaned up, and Kang Ren also ordered the banquet prepared in the kitchen to practice for Liu Chen and them. Kang Ren, who was sitting at the top, raised the wine bowl and said to the people below: "Brothers, my uncle and they will leave early tomorrow morning, tonight I will represent our cottage for the young master Liu Chen and his uncle to practice, everyone raised the wine bowl, drank this bowl, and wished them a smooth journey." “
"Thank you for the hospitality of the owner of the village, our seriously injured brothers will be handed over to you, please. Liu Chen drank a bowl of wine, arched his hand to Kang Ren and said, after speaking, he also took the wine bowl and poured it full of wine, and said: "I, Liu Chen, am young and can't speak, so I will salute all the heroes with the help of the owner of the village, thank you for your help, in addition, tomorrow we will leave, maybe we will also make trouble for everyone, please bear with me." After speaking, he finished the bowl of wine.
"Young Master Liu Chen is polite, let's talk about it as a family, don't be polite. Kang Ren waved his hand at Liu Chen and said, then said, "Let's let go of eating, let go of drinking, let's talk about what is done." "Kang Ren is not a fool, he can see that Liu Chen still has something to say to them, and besides, Kang Zhi behind him is not a vegetarian.
"Okay, then let's eat first, only talk about wine and meat here, don't talk about business, and talk about it after drinking. Liu Chen also pushed the boat down the river.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, everyone sat in the hall together, the leftovers on the table had been removed, and cups of fragrant tea and some seasonal fruits were put on the table. After all, there was something to talk about, and everyone didn't drink much and stayed sober.
"Young Master Liu Chen, if you have anything to do, just say it, they are all your own brothers, and there is nothing to avoid. Kang Ren said.
"The lord of the village is polite, I do have something to discuss with the owner of the village, but I have a shallow resume and can't speak, so I will tell you the Taoist. Liu Chen saluted Kang Ren and said slightly apologetically.
"Then let's ask the Taoist to talk about it, it's so formal, and I'm not used to it. Kang Ren also made a little joke, and he also felt that the scene was a little embarrassing, which eased the next scene.
"Amitayus Buddha, all the village masters, then I will say it directly. I don't know if the owners of the village think that the forces behind the Evil Wolf Gang know that you have saved the lord, will they let you go, and everyone knows that the lord has Moran Guyu, this is a piece of fat, don't you want to see the classics handed down by the Moran Dynasty, that is the secret book to become the Martial Emperor. Xu Maogong threw out several questions in a row and asked this kind of person.
"Of course I want to see the cheats, how rare this opportunity is, but isn't the cheats not displayed yet, it's a pity. Martial idiot Kang Yi eagerly accosted.
"I think everyone also knows that the forces behind the Evil Wolf Gang will not let us go easily, and of course they will investigate you, as for if it can be investigated, it is unknown, I hope the result is good. But here I want to invite you to join us, our lord is the kingdom's canonized Viscount of Liangdu, in Liangdu has his own territory, you can form a private army, you can join, and you join the lord, I can promise you on behalf of the lord, the heavenly level cheats dare not say, the earth hunger cheats will definitely be for you to learn, after all, you join us, the strength is also our own strength improvement, isn't it. Xu Maogong said slowly.
"Heaven rank cheats are also available, don't look at my low level now, that's because I was ignorant in the past, and after a few years of mistime, I was promoted from a nineth-rank martial artist to a current eighth-rank martial artist, and it only took me less than a month. In addition, the head of the sect's marksmanship and stick skills are all heaven-level, after arriving in Liangdu, the head of the sect is the commander of my private army, and he will simplify his marksmanship and stick skills to all the sergeants, and as for the leader general, he will learn completely. Liu Chen also added on the side.
"Obediently, it's terrible, no wonder Lin Chong was able to kill Wolf Third and injure Wolf Second with a high-level martial artist, and he was able to resist under the Wolf King and his men for so long, but he only had a slight advantage. The people in the hall were also talking. Especially Kang Yi, who had studied with Lin Chong during the day, was even brighter.
"Of course, my Dao technique is also of the Heavenly Rank, and I will also be able to hand over my Dao Technique to someone who is destined at that time, and when the secret book of Mo Lan Guyu is revealed, we will copy it into a book, and open it to all of us for free according to different levels, including you who join us, after all, our forces are only grass creation now, and we also need you to join and do your part. As for how far we will go in the future, it depends on our joint efforts. Xu Maogong said lightly, not showing eagerness at all, as if he was in his chest.
"Wait a minute, everyone, we need to discuss it. Kang Ren looked at the calm Xu Maogong, and didn't pay attention for a while, after all, the temptation they put forward was still very big, and he couldn't cut off the future of his brothers and sisters, his father had been thinking about returning to the army when he was alive, but he didn't have a chance, and now that he has this opportunity, he can't let go easily.
Kang Ren took a group of siblings and leaders to the side hall and said, "Let's talk about whether we should agree or not. ”
Kang Ren said that everyone didn't speak, but they all looked at Kang Zhi, after all, Kang Zhi was their head, and Kang Zhi was behind all the decision-making schemes.
"I think it's feasible, but I don't know what will happen to our cottage, after all, growing up here is still very reluctant. Kang Zhi did not beat around the bush and gave the answer directly. "The Taoism I learned from my master is only a high-level Xuan-level Dao, and it is also a kind of fate to be able to compete with Xu Daochang's Blood Knife Heavenly Rank Dao Technique, I have long heard that Qingsongguan is not simple, and I have not taken it to heart, seeing Xu Daochang, I finally understand that Qingsongguan has been stable in this Hengfeng Mountain Range for a hundred years. “
"Then I can also learn the marksmanship of the Heavenly Rank, Lin Chong's marksmanship is absolutely powerful, I am not an opponent. Kang Yi also followed.
"I'm sure my aunt and uncle won't betray us. Duan Mei also said something, and the rest of the Duan family sisters also nodded.
"Anyway, I don't care, Brother Zhi said okay, I'll follow Brother Zhi. Liang Lu also said.
"Okay, then it's decided, see if there's anything else, and when the time comes, let's talk about it together, don't regret it afterwards, after all, we will be under the command of Young Master Liu Chen in the future." Kang Ren said.
"Hey, hey, I said that it doesn't matter to me, I'm just here to listen and follow it. Liang Yuan shouted on the side.
"Then where do you want to go, don't you want to run away, let's two brothers together, how good it is to have one article and one martial arts. His iron buddy Kang Li said as he stepped aside on his shoulder. Liang Yuan could only roll his eyes speechlessly and agree.
Returning to the hall again, Kang Ren spoke first, "Subordinates, bring all the brothers to meet the young master." As he spoke, he bowed to Liu Chen.
Liu Chen showed a smile, forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and hurriedly helped Kang Ren up, saying, "In the future, we will be our own brothers, no need to be polite." ”
"My lord, I have one more thing to say. Xu Maogong said to Liu Chen on the side, seeing Liu Chen nodding, he continued to speak: "The terrain of Lujiao Mountain is dangerous, we can't give up, we have to be guarded, and we can be horns with my Qingsong Temple, take care of each other, I will persuade my senior brother to join us, then we need to leave a team here, who is suitable to stay, it still needs to be decided by the lord." ”
"This matter is really troublesome, Brother Ren, who do you decide to keep, but I think so, rotate the leaders under the stream, rotate every three months, after all, when you arrive in Liangdu, the head of the sect will teach everyone marksmanship and stick skills, so that the rotation can also let every leader who is willing to learn can learn, and you can put forward the doubts in your own cultivation, so that everyone can solve them, we are brothers, we will never hide privately, and the secret books in the future will be the same, but don't be greedy, after all, you can't chew too much, and what suits you is the best." Liu Chen said to Kang Ren.
"This is the best, that young master, this first time to stay behind is estimated to encounter the interrogation of the forces behind the Evil Wolf Gang, then I, Duan Mei, Kang Yi, Kang Zhi and Liang Lu will stay, and after this tense period, there will not be so many people every time, and the other thing is that there should not be too many people who will leave tomorrow morning to follow the young master, let Liang Yuan, Kang Li, Kang Xin, Duan Lan, Duan Zhu, and Duan Ju set off as guards. As for the rest of the people, wait for the interrogation to be completed, and then quietly evacuate. Kang Ren said.
"Okay, then it's decided, let's go back and pack up first, and we'll leave early tomorrow morning. Liu Chen is also very excited, his power has finally expanded for the first time, and he will snowball bigger and bigger in the future, and he will stand more and more firmly in this other world.
