"Mrs. Liu, please." Wang Bodang took a step sideways, and his attitude was a little respectful.

Liu Mang ordered Gao Zhong to take the guards to stay at the foot of the mountain, and according to the rules agreed by the two parties, only Qin Qiong and Yan Qing walked up the mountain.

Shan Xiongxin and Xu Shiji greeted them at the intersection of the mountain, and when they saw that Liu Mang really only waited for the two guards to go up the mountain, the two glanced at each other, hurriedly walked a few steps, and descended to greet each other.

"Oh, Liu Taishou, hard work." Shan Xiongxin smiled, but he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart.

Although he knew that Liu Mang, who led the two counties, was just a young man with tied hair, Shan Xiong always felt that Liu Mang should be taller and more robust.

And the young man in front of him is too guarded, although he is tall, he is too thin.

Shan Xiongxin unconsciously glanced at Qin Qiong, he really couldn't figure out how the chivalrous Qin Shubao, who was once famous in the rivers and lakes, was willing to obey the orders of a thin child.

"Be alone, polite." Liu Mang returned the salute with a fist.

For more than a year, Liu Mang has often dealt with officials and family owners, and has gradually cultivated the spirit of the master, coupled with his own affinity, he naturally formed a temperament, which is different from the high-rollers in the rivers and lakes, and it is also a temperament rarely seen by Shan Xiongxin.

Although Shan Xiongxin is a big man in the rivers and lakes, he is in the green forest after all. Most of the people I usually come into contact with are people with humble status. Even if you can get in touch with people with heads and faces, they are just so-called celebrities in the rivers and lakes.

This young man is too guarded, although he is thin and weak, but he inadvertently raises his hands and feet, and he seems to have a powerful aura, and Shan Xiongxin can't help but be impressed.

Shan Xiongxin issued an invitation, in addition to wanting to see Liu Mang's boldness, he also had the intention of taking the opportunity to exert pressure.

Even if it is attached to Liu Mang in the future, you must let Liu Mang know that I, Shan Xiongxin, am a gangster in the rivers and lakes, and if you want to win me over, you must come up with enough capital.

"This is Brother Mao, right?" Liu Mang greeted Xu Shiji, and behaved more calmly than the bigwigs who had been in the rivers and lakes for a long time.

"Liu Taishou, I'm glad to meet." Xu Shiji's city is deep and scheming, even he thinks it. This young man is indeed unusual. There is no pretentiousness and hypocrisy of today's high-ranking officials and dignitaries, but there is no lack of heroic spirit.

Shan Xiongxin has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, sharing the salt pond and fighting. Experienced countless fierce battles. Feeling murderous can deter Liu Mang.

However, although he has deep experience in the rivers and lakes, what he has experienced is nothing more than a minion. Dancing knives and sticks, fighting to the death.

And Liu Mang, although he rarely charges into battle in person, but he strategizes to win a thousand miles, how can Shan Xiongxin compare?

To put it another way, what Shan Xiongxin deals with every day is just a salt lord and the like, how can he be compared with Liu Bowen, the eldest grandson of Liu Mang, Su Dingfang and others?

To put it more simply, although they are all bloody battles, Shan Xiongxin commands minions. The fight is a "group fight", while Liu Mang commands the generals and fights the "battle"!

What Shan Xiongxin exudes can only be regarded as a heroic spirit that crisscrosses the rivers and lakes. And Liu Mang's body is shrouded in the spirit of a king who is competing for the world.

As soon as they met, the party who originally wanted to suppress with momentum was unconsciously discouraged.

……

In the middle of the mountain, a tent has been erected.

Although it is a temporary mat tent, it uses wooden poles. They are all of the same thickness, slenderness, and length, and the ropes and knots are exactly the same. Under the tent, on two large seats. There were several cases on each side. On several cases, the wine utensils and fruits are neatly placed.

Shan Xiongxin attached great importance to this meeting, not only to express his sincerity, but also to take the opportunity to show his strength - the soft power of the sword soldiers.

The two sides were in place, and Shan Xiongxin raised his hand to signal. Sit down with Liu Mang.

Wang Bodang Xu Shiji, well-behaved, stood behind Shan Xiongxin.

Liu Mang sat down, turned his head to Qin Qiong and Yan Qing and said, "Shubao, Xiaoyi, you can sit too." ”

"No!"

The second general forked his hands, lifted the placket, knelt on the ground on his left knee, and squatted on his right knee. In this sitting position, if there is an accident, you can bounce up at any time.

Liu Mang's move of letting his entourage sit down was a big surprise to Shan Xiongxin.

On the rivers and lakes, there is a difference between the eldest brother and the younger brother.

For example, Shan Xiongxin and Wang Bodang, although they are brothers in life and death, but in the scene of outsiders, the eldest brother is in charge, the younger brother is the entourage, the eldest brother sits, and the younger brother stands, this is the rule.

Even speaking, if the eldest brother does not allow it, the younger brother is not qualified to speak. A few days ago, Shan Xiongxin ridiculed Chao Gai about this matter.

"Hehe, they all say that Liu Taishou is good to his brothers, and sure enough." Shan Xiongxin is a compliment on the surface, but the implicit meaning is to ridicule Liu Mang's lack of rules in the army.

Liu Mang's mixed society in his previous life is not fundamentally different from the rivers and lakes of this era, how can he not understand the rules of the rivers and lakes.

He asked Qin Qiong and Yan Qing to sit down, it was intentional, and he also knew that Shan Xiongxin would definitely feel strange.

And Shan Xiongxin took the initiative to speak on this matter and gave Liu Mang a chance.

"Hehe, in the army, I am the master, they are the generals. In the rivers and lakes, Shubao and Xiaoyi are my brothers. I, Liu Mang, have self-knowledge, no courage to fight, no ability to duel. Even when he came to Jiwang Mountain to meet the single master, he had to rely on the escort of his brothers. In other words, my life is protected by my brothers, and if I let my brothers suffer hardship, won't I be able to afford it? Isn't it a joke about your own safety? ”

Although Liu Mang is not a clever tongue and a good argument, he is smart and clever, and he is already good at words, and he has been with Liu Bowen and others for a long time, and his mouth has become sharper.

Liu Mang is quite familiar with the way of the rivers and lakes, and seized Shan Xiongxin's mocking words to take the opportunity to show his energy.

"As a single leader, I'm not a person in the rivers and lakes, and I don't understand the rules of the rivers and lakes, but in my army, I have my own rules in the army. Uncle Mao should stand on the left and right, which is the rule of the rivers and lakes; And Shubao Xiaoyi, sitting down and resting is the rule in our army. ”

"Ah...... Oh...... Belch...... Hahaha......" Shan Xiongxin was speechless, so he could only laugh loudly to hide his embarrassment.

Liu Mang, in a half-joking way, thought that Shan Xiongxin and others conveyed a message: rules, much bigger in our army. The rules on your rivers and lakes, in my eyes, are all false and useless.

Joked: People sit and you stand, people eat and you watch.

One sit, one stand, respect and humility.

Xu Shiji and Wang Bodang stood with respect for the boss Shan Xiongxin.

Qin Qiong and Yan Qing sat down, which was the respect of the lord Liu Mang for his subordinates. On the contrary, if the subordinates are noble, the status of the lord will be higher.

Xu Shiji's city was very deep, and he always squinted his eyes slightly, secretly observing Liu Mang.

And Wang Bodang is a man of temperament, and he has a good impression of Liu Mang from the first time he saw him. At this time, Liu Mang interpreted the meaning of master and slave and brother, which made Wang Bodang even more envious.

It's just that for the sake of Shan Xiongxin's face and the so-called rules of the rivers and lakes, Wang Bodang can't cheer for Liu Mang.

A simple topic made it difficult for Shan Xiongxin to deal with.

Shan Xiongxin didn't say anything, but he couldn't help but admit in his heart that his knowledge was too far from others...... (To be continued.) )
