Chapter 48 Transactions (1st Update)
Zilong returned to the cabin where he was temporarily staying, Li Yu was still sleeping soundly, although the cabin was not luxurious, but it blocked the wind and sand outside, making Li Yu's little face flush and hot.
Zilong felt that he was still cold, and his back was cold, just because of Fei Lianbo's words.
"Go to Funiu Village, capture all the leaders of the alliance's private soldiers alive, and those who resist die!"
When he heard Fei Lianbo's request, Zilong's heart actually refused, this is simply an impossible task, under the cover of more than two hundred soldiers, capture more than a dozen team leaders hiding at the end, are you laughing? Zilong is not Guan Gong!
But Fei Lianbo's next promise made Zilong's heart move.
"If the bandits of Funiu Village complete it with you, I will go to the imperial court, change Funiu Village to Tugu Mountain Funiu Ridge, and hand over all the territory within its current activity area to you to manage, as for how to distribute ......"
Fei Lianbo's words he understood that this was simply equivalent to giving Zilong a fief, and then the brothers in the barberry village could directly become civilians and get their own Juntian.
The current range of activities of Funiu Village is a whole ten thousand acres of mountainous land!
Zilong's breathing was a little dignified, wiped the sweat that did not exist on his forehead, and took a deep breath, maybe the Niu Brothers of Funiu Village agreed to this matter, after all, not only did they wash white, but they also got Juntian, which was beyond their imagination!
"I have one more request!"
Zilong knew that this was the time to increase the size, and it was equivalent to cheapening Fei Lianbo if he agreed easily.
Fei Lianbo really didn't react abnormally, but felt that this was the drama that should be staged, but his mouth couldn't be loosened.
Fei Lianbo gently pressed the fire core, and the inside of the broken earth house fell into a hazy halo again.
"Oh? But I feel that such a price is enough for you and the bandit leader of Funiu Village to be happy! β
Zilong kept hinting to himself, calm down, calm down.
"Why do you think I can accomplish this impossible task?"
Zilong tried to knock on the side, but he always felt that Fei Lianbo had found him, which was very abrupt.
Fei Lianbo also seemed to know that Zilong would ask this question, and suddenly provoked the fire core, and the inside of the broken earth house lit up, and Zilong's figure seemed to be hidden in the dark, suddenly exposed to broad daylight, and his eyes flickered.
"I still know about Funiu Village, but I've never heard of a few urns of oil there to settle the characters of encirclement and suppression, at this time, you are here!"
Fei Lianbo didn't need to say much, he believed that Zilong could understand the meaning of his words.
Zilong did understand, and at the same time captured a piece of information that could be used, without this information, Fei Lianbo would not have been able to know so much about the situation of the encirclement and suppression.
In the temporary encirclement and suppression team formed by the alliance, there is Fei Lianbo's eyeliner!
"Well, give me the list and the characteristics of these people!"
Fei Lianbo is very satisfied with Zilong's performance, it seems that what Dugu Ku said in his letter is true, Dugu Zilong is really a useful talent, it seems that he should make good use of it, and he should take good precautions!
Fei Lianbo got up and threw a bag of tricks in his hand, and said with a smile: "Don't cherish those untouchables too much, as long as there are enough benefits, they are willing to work hard!" β
As soon as the words fell, Fei Lianbo's fat hand waved, and the broken earth house fell into darkness again.
When Zilong heard Fei Lianbo's last words, his heart suddenly fell into an ice cellar, and he suddenly realized that maybe in Fei Lianbo's eyes, he was no different from those untouchables, just a pawn in the inter-tribal forces.
Fei Lianbo miscalculated, he thought Zilong was a smart person, but he didn't expect that Zilong's cleverness and his cleverness were fundamentally different things.
The smart person in his heart is a husband who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, but Zilong is just a commoner who tries his best to stick to the principles in his heart, a commoner who slowly climbs up from slaves.
But Zilong had to admit that even if Fei Lianbo's cognition was not the same as his own, it was already the best result to be able to achieve this level now.
Back to the temporary hut, Zilong felt that the courtyard was surprisingly quiet, and he couldn't even hear Li Yu's snoring, so he was shocked and broke into the house, but Li Yu was gone.
Only in the place where Li Yu was lying, he found a long wooden tablet.
"This young man is very cute, take him back to the Chief's Mansion to take care of it for the time being, and the two of you can reunite after the matter is completed!"
Zilong looked at Mu Jian, and his face was distorted into a painful expression because of self-blame and anger, he was too careless, he obviously learned about Fei Lianbo's minus fifty-five good and evil value, and he didn't take precautions.
Zilong is also too naΓ―ve, he mistakenly believed Fei Lianbo's favorability of him as high as fifty, overestimated the hearts of people who were confused by power, and underestimated Fei Lianbo's bottom line.
Obviously, Fei Lianbo took Li Yu as a hostage, and Zilong is now out of his own heart or forced to be helpless, and the party in Funiuzhai cannot be delayed.
Zilong made up his mind, immediately packed his bags, and looked at the two boxes of gold and jade jewelry brought by Funiu Village, Zilong still decided to take them and leave them for people like Fei Lianbo or Helan Xiao, it's a pity!
Packed up his things, immediately rode his horse towards the city gate, until the early hours of the morning, the city gate was closed, leaving only one person to guard here, it was impossible for Zilong to go out of the city, but today's generosity when he first arrived in Tucheng, it really worked.
The person who stayed behind was the little soldier who led him to the chief's mansion today, and the little soldier saw Zilong's hurried behavior, remembered Zilong's generous shot, and opened the city gate for Zilong without hesitation.
Of course, the result of this was also satisfactory to him, and after spraying Zilong with Zilong for a long time and how hard he kept vigil, Zilong did not hesitate to throw him a small bag of five baht.
The little soldier happily accepted the reward and wrote down Zilong's instructions attentively.
"Don't tell anyone about going out of town tonight!"
This request is so simple that it can't be done, isn't it just a matter of saying two words!
When Zilong saw Xiaobing's appearance, he knew in his heart that it was delusional to rely on him to keep it secret, but as long as it had a temporary effect, it would not be in vain to waste his small bag of five baht.
Turning over the horse, I took another look at the earthen city, in the dark night, only in the direction of Juntian outside the city, there was a slight fire, and it was always the darkest before dawn.
Riding a horse and galloping, Zilong has already made up his mind since he left the city, he must try his best to protect the safety of the old and young in the barberry village, and Li Yu can't lose a single hair, otherwise the spirits of Li Sange and Murong Jing in the sky may be difficult to look at.
As soon as the sky was bright, Zilong had already entered the patrol range of the private soldiers of Funiu Village, fortunately, this was the time when the patrol private soldiers were lax, Zilong saw an opportunity, and ran up the mountain road with a smoke.
The inside of the forest was a little darker than the grassland outside, and although the horses' hooves were wrapped in sackcloth, they still made a clattering sound, and in the silence of the woods, there was a frightening echo.
"Who?"
"Which brother is on duty? I'm Dugu Zilong, the big boss of the Express, I'm back from Tucheng! β
Zilong's words made the people on duty a little suspicious, but the forest was dark, in order to prevent the target from being exposed, this person did not light the torch to confirm, Zilong had to take out the fire knife and flint.
After a few gentle scrapes, the velvet slowly smoked, and Zilong blew carefully, and finally showed a little light.
Seeing the firelight, the people on duty were engrossed, holding the swords tightly, as long as they found something wrong, they were afraid that they would take Zilong's life.
When the firelight grew, the villagers on duty seemed to see the only light source in the dark, and under the light source, it was Zilong's familiar face.
"It's really Brother Zilong, you're back! The big boss has been reading you for a long time! β
Zilong only said hello, and then went to the meeting hall in the house, and the people on duty in the village divided one person to report to Niu Yilang, Niu Yilang was overjoyed when he heard Zilong come back.
When he came to the conference hall, Zilong was in a daze, and when he looked in the direction of Zilong's daze, it was a horse corpse.
"Brother Zilong, this ......"
Zilong sighed lightly, and when he went, the horses were in a hurry, although they were also in a hurry, but Zilong took care of Li Yu's young age and did not rush to do so, because although the horses were tired, they were not unwell.
But back to Funiu Village, the dragon was anxious, all the way to the horse, it only took one night to finish the road for a day and a night, the horse was finally overwhelmed, tired and died.
Niu Yilang never thought that Zilong would be so affectionate to a horse, and his admiration for Zilong in his heart has another layer.
"Brother, as soon as the morning dawns, we will bury this horse thickly, you can rest assured!"
Niu Yilang did what he liked, of course Zilong understood that this was just comfort, but at this time, the situation was urgent, Zilong couldn't take care of a lot, and human life was still lighter than a feather, how could he still take care of the horse?
"This matter will be postponed for the time being, and I will inform the eldest brother of the story of Tucheng and his party, and the eldest brother will make his own decision!"
So he told the truth about the results of the discussion between Tucheng and Fei Lianbo, but concealed the contradictions between Helan Xiao and the tribes and Fei Lianbo, and did not mention it.
When Niu Ichiro heard this, his full color immediately sank.
Although he can trust Zilong, but how credible Fei Lianbo's words are, it is not yet known, if Fei Lianbo temporarily repents and takes off his guards, I am afraid that it will be cattle and sheep to be slaughtered.
However, as Zilong said, this is an opportunity, an opportunity for the brothers in the village to clear their names as bandits, not to mention, the promise of the entire range of activities in Funiu Village.
If Fei Lianbo really fulfilled his promise, then with Zilong's character and performance at this time, Niu Yilang believes that the old and young people in the village will have an excellent place to settle down.
After a few deep groans, Niu Ichiro said: "Although it sounds tempting, there are two things that I don't quite understand!" β
Of course, Zilong had already expected that Niu Yilang and the others would inevitably have doubts, but before anything became true, I am afraid that no one would be 100% sure.
Instead of hesitating, it's better to give it a bold try, what Niu Ichiro may lack is a reassuring pill that can make him have no worries.
"First, if Fei Lianbo repents, won't we sacrifice our brothers in vain and make wedding dresses for others? Second, although the strength of the private soldiers is not strong, they are not local chickens and dogs, how can they unknowingly tie up those team owners? β
Niu Yilang opened his mouth to ask, and it was the reassuring pill in Zilong's hand, so he took out his bag and handed the list to Niu Yilang, Niu Yilang listened to Zilong's explanation while watching.
Hearing that there was eyeliner in the other camp, Niu Ichiro's eyes flashed, so that the feasibility of this time has greatly increased, if you try your best, maybe the success is unknown.
"When is that Brother Long planning to do it?"
Zilong looked at the fading fire at the bottom of the mountain, and said leisurely: "This matter should not be delayed, tomorrow morning, it is the best time to do it!" It's all up to me to make my midnight trip! β
As he spoke, the iron fist tightened and slammed heavily on the table, causing Niu Ichiro to tremble.
ps: Brother's new book "Song Painting Jiangshan", everyone has a lot of support!
