Chapter 40: Zhujiazhuang's Ambition
Before this, Yinmachuan still maintained an independent status, and Zhujiazhuang was also a relationship between well water and river water, but this time Zhujiazhuang was obviously ambitious and planned to annex even Yinmachuan.
You must know that Yinmachuan's annual income is almost less than 20,000 yuan, and if you take out more than half of it and hand it over to Zhujiazhuang, your life will be sad.
Of course, Zhujiazhuang also pointed out another way for them, that is, to submit to them and become their subordinate forces.
But Pei Xuan and the three of them are also arrogant people, especially Pei Xuan, in order to be a mouthful, he is not even willing to be an official of the level of Confucius in the Qingzhou Sixth Case, how can he bow to the boss of a Jianghu force?
What's more, he is not stupid, as a subsidiary force of Zhujiazhuang, he does not have to pay a huge amount of protection money for the time being, but in the future, he will have to obey the command of the "alliance leader", and if there is danger, he will go up to be cannon fodder, and he will grovel to please the boss, it is better for Pei Xuan to pay protection money.
Therefore, Pei Xuan and the three of them were extremely entangled, and at this time they suddenly received the news that Liangshan had captured Jeju Mansion, which made Pei Xuan and them extremely shocked and moved in their hearts at the same time - this Liangshan people played the banner of doing the right thing for heaven and robbing the rich and helping the poor, they are real heroes, if they have to take refuge in an alliance leader, why not choose Liangshan?
Next, Pei Xuan asked people to investigate the intelligence of Liangshan, especially related to the big boss Ye Ling, and when they got this information, the three of them agreed to join Liangshan - no matter which aspect, the actions of the heroes of Liangshan are much stronger than those of Zhujiazhuang, so they packed up the cottage and led all the horses and belongings straight to Liangshan.
Speaking of this, Pei Xuan said solemnly: "Leader Ye, all the leaders, it is not a small thing to intimidate, this Zhujiazhuang is only less than two hundred miles away from us, their next target is definitely here, and I hope everyone will prepare early." ”
Liu Tang said angrily when he heard this: "Zhujiazhuang, the straight lady thief, this Jianghu must not belong to their family, and they dare to coerce other forces!" Brother Pei, don't worry, if these thieves don't come, if they dare to come here to make trouble, I will definitely break their dog legs, and let this group of dog thieves know how powerful our Liangshan heroes are! ”
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Ye Ling said calmly: "Brother Liu Tang's words are not rough, Brother Pei, Brother Deng, Brother Meng, the three of you can stay here with peace of mind, if the people from Zhujiazhuang come, we have our own plans, and the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth." ”
Pei Xuan and the other three were also relieved, and everyone drank happily again, and the day was over.
After everyone woke up the next day, Ye Ling asked Pei Xuan to be the reward and punishment envoy of the cottage, responsible for recording and implementing all the rewards and punishments of the entire cottage, Deng Fei was under the command of Chao Gai as a leader of the infantry army, and Meng Kang returned to his old profession and supervised the manufacture of ships in the cottage.
In this way, nothing happened for more than a month, and there was still an endless stream of people coming up from the mountain to vote, and now there are nineteen leaders and three thousand minions on the cottage, and the weapons and equipment are also very neat.
On this day, suddenly Zhugui Hotel ushered in a few special guests, known as the envoy of Zhujiazhuang, the leader of the name is called Zhu'an, but a steward of Zhujiazhuang, said to come here to visit the leader of Ye Ling.
said that it was a "visit", but this Zhu An's attitude was very arrogant, riding a tall horse almost all the way into Zhu Gui's hotel, and when Zhu Gui came to pick him up, he just nodded his head immediately, just like dealing with a servant.
Zhu Guiqiang endured his anger and was polite to him, and sent someone to inform the mountain that he was a person who knew the overall situation, and he didn't want to cause the people in Zhujiazhuang to find excuses to make trouble because of the problem of his attitude.
After receiving the news, all the leaders exchanged a look - the one who should have come is still here, Liu Tang rolled his eyes and said: "But there is just a dog in charge, so he should play prestige in front of our masters!" This Boss Zhu's temper is too good, if I change it, I will directly take this guy off the horse and beat it up and then take care of it, or let me deal with them, I will never fall into the prestige of our cottage! ”
Shi Jin, Ruan Xiaoqi and others also echoed loudly, fearing that the world would not be chaotic, Wu Yong smiled angrily: "You people are also reckless, these people turned out to be guests, so let's meet first, if you don't speculate and then improvise, after all, salute first and then soldier." ”
Ye Ling also nodded in agreement, but he just sent someone to inform Na Zhu'an to come up the mountain to meet, and did not send anyone to greet him.
That Zhu An was drinking good tea in the VIP room of Zhugui Hotel, and suddenly saw a few small leaders walk in and said coldly: "You are the messenger from Zhujiazhuang, right?" The head of my family has an order, please follow me to the righteous hall on the mountain to narrate. ”
Zhu An frowned and said, "So Ye Ling sent you over?" You must know that Lord Ben is the steward of Zhujiazhuang, and this Ye Ling only sent a few of you little minions to welcome me? At least let Wu Yong or Gongsun Shenglin Chong and others come down, right? ”
The little leaders sneered: "I'm just acting on orders, we can do whatever we want to do, if you have any questions, please ask the head of my family directly in person, it's useless to tell us." ”
Several of Zhu'an's entourage were immediately furious, grabbed the clothes of this little boss and prepared to do it, the people of their Zhujiazhuang were used to being domineering, even the people of the government did not dare to underestimate them, and other places were like ancestors being offered, where did they receive such a cold reception?
However, Zhu An stopped them, he glanced at the little leaders coldly and said: "It's just a few small fish and shrimp, and it makes us seem to have lost our identity by doing it with them, let's go, go up the mountain with me, I want to see what Ye Ling says, hum!" ”
After saying that, he followed the little leaders of Liangshan in a big way to cross the water berth, and then went all the way up the mountain to the Juyi Hall, Zhu An peeked around, and saw that the mountain was majestic, the water was vast, and the Liangshan soldiers on the road were also bright and energetic, and they didn't dare to underestimate it in their hearts.
Entering the hall, there was a young man in white sitting on the tiger skin chair, although he was not young but imposing, sitting there was eight winds not moving, majestic as a mountain, and there were more than ten leaders sitting in two rows next to him, all of whom were dignified.
Seeing them come in, Wu Yong asked: "How many of them are the envoys of Zhujiazhuang, I don't know what you have to do in the mountain?" Let's put it bluntly. ”
