Chapter 6 The Butterfly Spreads Its Wings
"Jiang Gongzi, a few children are not good at learning, and losing so quickly makes you laugh!" Meng Lu was ashamed in his heart, but it was not good to rush out on the spot to find face.
Jiang Gongzi saw that someone in the crowd of onlookers had already gone up to treat the injured, and even a bamboo bed had been carried into the field, presumably starting to prepare for Zhao Tianyou, and then nodded and said: "Master Meng, this person is already in great trouble, if you don't get rid of it as soon as possible, not only will you not be able to get the position of patriarch, but even the Meng family's fishing village will suffer a great disaster!" ”
Meng Lu was already a little flustered, and hurriedly answered: "What is Jiang Gongzi's plan, quickly tell the old man!" ”
After Jiang Gongzi whispered to Meng Lu for a while, he went downstairs and left with his subordinates, Meng Lu stayed where he was, frowning and thinking hard, forgetting to go to see the injuries of his sons. Jiang Gongzi's words before leaving were too shocking, and he couldn't accept it in his heart for a while, but desire is something that will swell with changes in the environment.
The position of the patriarch is a dream that can be in his heart since he was a child, otherwise he would not leave home at a young age to learn skills, and he has known since he was a child that he will never smile at him if he does not borrow external forces.
When he was a teenager, he thought that if he came back after learning his skills, he would definitely get ahead in the clan and would definitely be able to win the position of patriarch. Things are also going in this direction, if nothing else, the next patriarch will definitely ask him to take over, but the current patriarch is strong and strong, when will he step down?
What Jiang Gongzi wanted, Meng Lu didn't know, if he just liked Meng Shuirou, it would be too much to help Meng Lu so much. What is there in Mengjia Fishing Village? In addition to the fact that this dock bazaar has a little profit, nothing else is worth mentioning, is this little boat? As long as there is a willingness to spend money, doesn't the ship have a lot of money, why should you send a family that is good at assassination to help Meng Lu in the future?
And Meng Lu only needs to arrange to hide the killer, and then make some markings, and he doesn't need to directly do it or come forward, he can pick the peach of the patriarch, how can he not be tempted by the fact that he has been waiting for many years?
Zhao Tianyou, who was in the limelight, was surrounded by a group of middle-aged aunts, each of whom was the mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, which directly made Zhao Tianyou defeated and fled. Soon after returning to the martial arts arena, Meng Shuirou brought the patriarch to visit, and after a deep talk, he left satisfied.
This is a very coincidental incident, which completely changed Zhao Tianyou's idea of wanting to spend his life in peace. The general trend of the world has gradually become clear, the Yuan soldiers have gone south to Lin'an, and the slaughter of the city and the extermination of the clan in Shu have spread all over the south of the Yangtze River.
Fujian's coastal areas rely on the sea, wharf trade, shipping, fishing and other industries are economically developed, and ordinary people live in prosperity and live in peace, which is the best time for development in the past century. However, the imperial court was powerless to resist the Yuan, and officials from all over the country were reluctant to send troops in order to protect themselves, some were just consolidating and defending themselves to prepare to resist the Yuan, and some were already pondering surrendering and selling the city, and the Great Song Dynasty was powerless to control the officials in various places.
Patriarch Meng said a lot of things, and finally showed his true intentions, wanting to invite Zhao Tianyou as the head of the sect to recruit and train soldiers in the village to protect the fishing village. Zhao Tianyou was stunned at that time, did not agree immediately, and waited for the patriarch to leave before asking Meng Shuirou.
"Miss Shuirou, is there something going to happen in the fishing village? Or is it because I hit those people just now, what is the bad effect? ”
Meng Shuirou listened to Zhao Tianyou's continuous questions, and her originally smiling face also became solemn: "No, the patriarch didn't say anything to me, except for Jiang Gongzi running here, it's quite normal." Today, this kind of fight often happens, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, even if Meng Erhu is dead or disabled, you won't be held responsible, this is the tradition in our fishing village. ”
"Jiang Gongzi? Is that the guy on the big boat that passed by the day I fell overboard? ”
"Yes, it's him, he used to pester me all the time, and he never gave him a good look. Recently, I got closer to Uncle Meng Lu, but I didn't look for me when I arrived in the fishing village, it's really a little weird, do you think today's incident has something to do with him? Meng Shuirou's face turned red after she said that, and the implication was that Jiang Gongzi was jealous and arranged for several brothers of the Meng family to come to Zhao Tianyou for trouble, but what did Brother Tianyou think in his heart? Do you like what I mean?
Meng Shui is soft and bold and broad-minded, but after all, she is a cardamom woman who is in her prime age, and it is difficult for men on weekdays to enter her eyes, so she has never shown the demeanor of a little daughter.
Got in touch with Zhao Tianyou in the sea, and when I first met, I just kindly helped to rescue, although I had a good feeling, but there were many curious elements. Today, Zhao Tianyou came out to protect her, defeated three strong men in an instant, and stood in the field like a god of war, and the little flower in her heart unconsciously bloomed quietly and put this man in.
But what Zhao Tianyou was thinking about was not about men and women, he was searching hard in his memory, whether the time node of the major events in history had anything to do with the fishing village he was in. This time should be the beginning of another wave of the Yuan soldiers' large-scale southern invasion, it should be the first year of the Song Dynasty's Emperor Deyou who ascended the throne and ordered the world to raise troops against King Qin of Beishan, and there were no major events in this southeast coastal land!
Retracting his mind and seeing Meng Shuirou staring directly at him, Zhao Tianyou's face was also red, and he was a little embarrassed to say: "I just got distracted, Miss Shuirou, what do you think about the recruitment of village soldiers?" ”
"Brother God, the Mengjia fishing village has experienced several disasters, has been attacked by road bandits and pirates, and even the entire fishing village was burned down more than a hundred years ago. The men in our fishing village have to strengthen themselves and practice martial arts since they were young, beware of pirates when they go on the boat to fish, and beware of bandits on land when they go to the dock to transport goods, so it can be said that everyone can take a knife into battle. But this is the first time to recruit soldiers, I think it's okay, God bless brother, isn't it good to hand over your skills to everyone? ”
After speaking, he felt that it was inappropriate, and then said: "If you can teach, you can teach, and you still have the trick big brother who can't teach." ”
Zhao Tianyou pursed his lips, nodded and said, "There is no trick that can't be taught, but I don't know if this sect leader can be a good one." If it's just to strengthen the body, then it's nothing, I'm afraid that the patriarch recruits the village soldiers and has another deep meaning, and the current situation is unclear and there is no direct saying! ”
"Then I'll go and give a message to the patriarch, saying that you promised to be the head of the sect, and then I'm inquiring about the patriarch's thoughts." Meng Shuirou didn't know what she was thinking, a red cloud rose on her face, and after glancing at Zhao Tianyou's face again, even her neck turned red, and she hurriedly dodged to say goodbye and leave.
A few days later, the patriarch summoned more than 200 men between the ages of 18 and 30 in the fishing village to hold a ceremony to worship the heavens in front of the ancestral hall. Set up the banner of Mengzi Zhai soldiers, announce the power of the large and small villages of 30 miles of water and land, and the Mengjia fishing village officially established the village soldiers.
And Zhao Tianyou, the head of the instructor standing on the stage, looked at the more than 200 young men in the audience, and vaguely returned to the training ground of the Marine Corps, and his eyes were a little wet.
