Chapter 115: Favors and Transactions
Zhang Liang's return made Wu Da overjoyed, and the entire Wu Mansion was naturally celebrating, proper, and having a banquet!
On that day, how Zhang Liang sacrificed his life to save Wuda was also made public, and the Wufu was grateful, Wu Song and Ximenqing took turns to toast Zhang Liang, and even Jin Lian, who rarely showed up, personally poured wine for Zhang Liang.
Tong Ying rushed over when she heard the news, and she was also in a burst of joy.
Except for Zhou Dong and Lin Chong, as well as the rotating generals and nursing homes, the Wufu was all drunk.
The next day, Wu Da asked for details, and learned that Zhang Liang was abandoned in the wilderness that day, but he was picked up by a barefoot mountain doctor and returned home, and he was treated for more than a month before he snatched Zhang Liang's life back from the palace of the king of Hades.
Thinking of the last assassination again, Wu Da looked slightly confused.
Cai Jing's arrangement to ambush and kill Wu Da outside the city that day has been confirmed, and Fang La's belonging to the Jianghu forces secretly supported by Cai Jing is also certain, but Fang La secretly saved Wu Da's life, and the mystery of this is worth scrutinizing.
Moreover, Master Li was selected by Master Assassin Shi and sent to the palace during the emperor's draft, so doesn't Master Assassin Shi know the true identity of Master Li? What role does Fang La play in this? Cai Jing, as the emperor's favored and trusted master of a country, what is the purpose of doing this?
All these mysteries are still unknown.
……
Ximenqing had already prepared craftsmen in advance and sent them to Hujiazhuang under the protection of Lu Zhishen and Shi Jin;
Luan Tingyu, who was caught, had already been handed over to Zhou Dong, and after thinking about it, Zhou Dong's registered disciple couldn't turn the sky in the palm of Zhou Dong's hand;
Lin Chong took the soldiers on Liangshan who had been specially trained in the military camp for several months, as well as craftsmen, and rushed to Liangshan;
And Wuda took Zhang Ping and Zhang Liang to Tong Ying's military camp.
The last time Cai Jing made trouble in the court, it was Wu Da who turned the tide and learned the secrets of Cai Mansion from Ding Mao's mouth, so that General Tong Guan Tong was in danger, and returned to the northwest from Bianjing safely, both sides knew that the Tong family had always owed Wu University a favor.
Although this statement seems more like a deal after a transaction and impersonal, this is exactly what Wuda wants.
After all, it is not Tong Ying who is in power in the Tong Mansion today, no matter what his personal relationship with Tong Ying is, in terms of family standpoint, the two families are indeed making a deal.
Tong Ying was also bold, and asked directly: "What's the matter with me?" ”
Wu Da got straight to the point and said: "I need 20,000 sets of armaments." ”
"What!?"
Tong Ying Huoran got up, "It's no problem to have armaments, but how can the number be so huge, what are you going to do?" ”
Wu Da rolled his eyes and said angrily: "What are you panicking about? Am I going to rebel? ”
"Don't want to be with me. Many of the soldiers you sent to the military camp for special training are not from your martial arts at all. I treat you like a brother, so I haven't asked. But I know that they are from Yangsan. If you want 20,000 sets of armaments, won't you also give them to Liangshan? Brother, don't forget, all the people in Liangshan are criminals of the imperial court, and once they rebel, you and I will be killed! ”
Wu Da laughed and said: "Rebellion is not just about killing heads, it is about punishing the nine clans. Don't worry, I will never rebel, and Liangshan will not rebel, I have my own arrangements. Let me ask you, will you give 20,000 armaments, or will you not give them? ”
Tong Ying's face changed drastically, and after a long time, he asked, "Can it be less?" 20,000 sets is too much, and I can't be the master. ”
Wu Da didn't intend to deliberately embarrass Tong Ying, "I know you can't be the master, I just hope that if you want, you can give this letter to General Tong for me, and see if he agrees." ”
Tong Ying was a little unsure, "Brother, are you my own brother?" Tell me, what exactly do you want to do? Lin Jiaotou suddenly took the elite craftsmen out of Yanggu County, you have to tell me the truth, what do you want to do? ”
Wu Da's eyes were slightly small, "You spy on me?" ”
Tong Ying immediately became anxious, "Your Lin Sect leader has taken so many people out of the city, as a garrison, how can the people under my command not pay attention!?" ”
This is the truth, Tong Ying can say this part, and it can be regarded as enough face for Wu Da.
After pondering for a long time, Wu Da said truthfully: "In a few days, Liangshan will join forces with me to open a four-sea dart game, and when the time comes, you will know." ”
Dart game? Tong Ying was obviously not satisfied with this explanation.
After all, whose dart game needs 20,000 sets of armaments? If this matter is stabbed out by someone with a heart, the martial family will definitely not be able to eat and walk around, and his Tong family will definitely not be able to get out of it.
"You know too much about this matter, and it's not good for you." Wu Da said lightly.
Tong Ying struggled for a long time, and finally received the secret letter in his hand.
"I don't care what you're going to do, but remember, we're brothers."
Wu Da opened his mouth to speak, but in the end he didn't say anything and left the barracks.
Whether it is in history, or in Yanggu County, where Wuda is located today, the reputation of the Tong family is too stinky, and Wuda is now walking on a single-plank bridge, which seems to be infinitely beautiful, but in fact, if he is not careful, he will fall into the abyss, so he has always been wary of the Tong family, including Tong Ying.
In the face of real interests, Wu Da was afraid that he would be thrown out by the Tong family at any time as a bargaining chip, so he had to quickly exchange the favor that the Tong family owed him for armaments, he just wanted to put aside the friendship with the Tong family as soon as possible and only talk about the transaction.
Take these 20,000 sets of armaments as an example, the Tong family just opened an opening for Wuda, not to give it to Wuda, and Wuda still has to pay.
Of course, although Liangshan has formed an alliance with Wuda, those men and horses still belong to the Liangshan family, and when the 20,000 sets of armaments are in hand, he Liangshan still has to pay Wuda silver.
To sum up, Wuda is still Wuda, he can give advice for Tong Ying in order to protect Mingzhe, and he can also help Liang Shan to enhance his strength as soon as possible, but the premise of all this is a transaction, not just a favor, he wants to clean up the relationship, he can't fall into the mud, after all, the huge Wufu is not his Wuda alone, there is also Jin Lian, and the unborn child, as well as Wu Song, and Ximen Qing, and there are many, many loyal to the Wu family's generals and nurses, Wuda dare not bet, he is afraid of losing the bet, It will cost everyone's lives.
Since he has become the leading big brother, he must escort the brothers, not only to let the brothers have no worries about food and clothing, but also to let them have no worries.
This is the principle and bottom line of Wuhan University, and it must not be easily crossed.
Otherwise, is it like Song Jiang in the Water Margin, taking his brothers to death? I don't know what to do!
