Chapter 148: Five people go up the mountain
Just when Ye Ling and Hua Rong were practicing archery, Shi Xiu suddenly came to find Ye Ling on this day, saying that he had a few old acquaintance brothers who came to the cottage to join him, according to him, these people also had some skills, so he begged Ye Ling to take some time out of his busy schedule to meet them.
Unlike the grass platform team that Wang Lun ran at the earliest, there were only a thousand people on the mountain at that time, and there were many old, weak, sick and disabled, four or five leaders, and only Lin Chong could fight, and there was very little money and food.
Therefore, at that time, whenever there was a slightly famous leader to defect, or more than ten people together, it was a rare luck for the mountain, and it was worth personally greeting Wang Lun, the white-clothed showman of the big village.
But now there are more than 30,000 elite soldiers in Liangshan, the division of labor among the three armies of Ma Bushui is strict, the leaders are fifty or sixty people, and the fierce generals and resourceful strategists who can fight are everywhere, plus the family service personnel have reached more than 100,000, as for the money and food, it is hundreds of times more than before, I am afraid it is more than that, I don't see that under the command of Li Ying's Finance Department and others, the caravans that come in and out every day are simply lively as if they are rushing to the market every day!
So now Liangshan is no longer anyone's way to defect, but has to go through a preliminary assessment, what old, weak, sick and disabled, what people with a bad reputation are not qualified to join the gang at all, and even if they can pass, they can only be a little minion, what? Do you want to be the boss? I'm sorry, but you have to be good enough, after all, the leader of the mountain is enough for the time being.
And even if some people are already quite famous, and they can be the so-called "heroes" who can be the leaders on the mountain, at most, they are the leaders in charge of the general reception of the hotel in the south, and Zhu Gui, who is in charge of the general reception, comes forward to greet them, and if you want to meet the leaders of the general village or even the big boss Ye Ling, it will not be easy.
This is like a super company such as Alibaba in later generations, if it was a few decades ago when Jack Ma's father personally distributed flyers on the edge of the West Lake to solicit people, even if an ordinary college student was willing to join, he could be personally received by the boss; But if you change to a super company that is now the first in the country and famous all over the world, let alone three books, even 985,211 key university graduate students cannot guarantee 100% entry, let alone get in person from Ma Yun's father, you are still dozens of levels away.

So Shi Xiu's old brothers have not been doing well recently, and they heard that Shi Xiu has been prosperous on Liangshan, so they want to come and defect, but they are naturally unwilling to start as a small minions or small leaders, and they also want to be a leader like Shi Xiu, and this is not something that Shi Xiu can decide, although he is also a dignified infantry general, but he does not have so much power.
But Shi Xiu didn't want the old brother to lose face, so he had the cheekiness to plead with Shi Xiu, and this was also based on the premise that the private feelings of both parties were very strong.
Ye Ling also smiled when he heard this, and casually asked who his brothers were, Shi Xiu was overjoyed, and hurriedly told the truth, but he didn't expect that Ye Ling was taken aback as soon as the words came out.
"There are two brothers who came this time, one is called Yang Xiong, who was the executioner of the two courts in Jizhou and the city of Cao, and later because his wife stole people, he killed him in a fit of anger, and then fled to the rivers and lakes.
The other is named Jin Leopard Yang Lin, he was originally an officer in Zhangde Mansion, and later he was also evil Shangguan has been living in the rivers and lakes, and he has also been to the rest of the rivers and lakes, but he feels that they are all wastes who are not talented, so he wants to switch to our cottage. ”
Ye Ling naturally knew Yang Xiong, this guy was indeed Shi Xiu's sworn brother, but he was repeatedly helped by Shi Xiu, and in the end he almost died at the hands of his wife Pan Qiaoer and the adulterer and the adultererous monk.
Although this Yang Xiong is a little softer and a little indecisive, his combat effectiveness is still not weak, and he is also an excellent executioner, which is also a special talent in this era, and it is also a great deterrent to prisoners, especially those on death row.
And although Yang Lin's strength is weaker than Yang Xiong's, he can be regarded as skilled, and his vision is stronger, he just recognized Shenxing Taibao Dai Zong at a glance, so he was able to go up the mountain smoothly.
These two people are still worth seeing by themselves, not to mention that this is still Shi Xiu's personal advice, so Ye Ling immediately agreed to meet these two people in person.
Of course, with Ye Ling's current identity and status, it is impossible to go down the mountain to greet him, and it is very face-saving to be able to take the time to meet them in person, Shi Xiu not only did not feel surprised by this, but was just overjoyed, and immediately rushed down the mountain to inform him.
After a while, I saw several people following Shi Xiu, but it was not Yang Xiong and Yang Lin that Shi Xiu introduced before, but as many as five people, among which there were two of them who were Ye Ling's old acquaintances and were not worthy of the most water duo, the tiger general Li Zhong and the little overlord Zhou Tong, Ye Ling had met them once in Peach Blossom Mountain not long ago, and he also cleaned them up.
In addition, there is a person whose shape is also very special, less than six feet tall, thin and withered, it is estimated that the scale is not seventy pounds, a pair of fresh eyes, no beard, but although the person is small, he is very spiritual, standing there with his eyes turning, obviously observing the surrounding situation.
Just by seeing this little man, a name had already appeared in Ye Ling's mind in an instant!
At this time, Qian is a native of Gaotang Prefecture, who is engaged in stealing, and even steals graves and tombs, and is good at flying eaves and walking on the wall, known as the drum flea, although it is only the penultimate among the one hundred and eight heroes, only one place higher than the horse thief golden retriever Duan Jingzhu, it can be said that the status is extremely low, and there is no sense of existence at all.
This can't be blamed on him, but the rest of the heroes are extremely contemptuous of his industry of "stealing chickens and touching dogs, chickens and dogs", although they themselves are murder and arson, rampant and domineering, extortion, and black shop sticks, but the latter everyone thinks it is awesome, and for him, most people know that he is stupid, even Wang Ying and other people who are more garbage themselves are no exception.
But Ye Ling never felt this way, in his opinion, whether it was a thief or a bandit, it was all an underworld industry, it was just a special product of this era, although everyone had a hard time, but the latter's arrogance towards the former was very ridiculous, so although the profession of a thief was not noble, it was not inferior to a murderer or a hooligan.
