Chapter 165 Who Dominates the Ups and Downs I
Zhao Quan didn't expect Old Man Hao to answer him with this reason, he was instantly dumbfounded, and only said after a long time: "Old man, without further ado...... The person who laid the dark flower is not easy to mess with. ”
"This old man will take care of himself, so I won't bother you. Come on, take Zhao Daxia down to rest, this Yang Baihu, you come with the old decay, I have a few words to talk to you. ”
Yang Chengzu could see that the old man's condition was not very good, although there was still light in his eyes, and his face was quite ruddy, but the fire of his life seemed to be about to be extinguished. Right now, it's just relying on a belief to support and maintain the operation of this body.
He followed the old man to a wooden house, and even Hao Qingqing was stopped outside, "Men talk to each other, women don't mix." Go and tell the kitchen, get more good dishes, it's a distinguished guest today, you have to entertain well, don't ask anything else. ”
When I entered the room, I saw that the furnishings in this room were very simple, with an iron bow hanging on the wall, a single knife, and no furnishings except for some necessary furniture. Hao Yunlong smiled:
"When you're old, you're too lazy to pick up, so the fewer things you have, the more worry-free. Sit casually, don't have to be inhibited. You should know that I am a military guard, a military man, and I am also a military man when I am old, so I don't pay attention to it, everyone can order it casually. ”
"What the old man said is that my family is also from a military background, and we are a family." Yang Chengzu pulled a chair and sat down, Hao Yunlong picked up the teapot and poured two bowls of water, "I'm not good at tea, so it's just some coarse tea, don't be too bad." ”
"You're polite, old man, that's good."
"Jinyi Wei 100 households? At a young age, this official is not small. We have three provinces here, there are many merchants, and the news spreads quickly, and I have heard about you. first sacrificed himself to block the breach in Huaxian County, and then collected the corpse for Meng Bo Qianli, there are not many such heroes now. In the entire Henan Bafu, you are also a prominent character, not simple, not simple. ”
"The old hero is polite, what kind of hero am I? It's just a fluke that has become a nickname, and compared with you, the person who leads the green forests of the three provinces, I can't mention it. ”
"Don't be modest, the girl told me the idea I came up with." Hao Yunlong only mentioned the text at this time, and he took a few puffs of the dry tobacco pouch, and the room was filled with smoke
"Do you know that most of those troublemakers are my sons and nephews. Speaking of which, at the beginning, this mountain was also beaten down by their Lao Tzu with a knife and a shot by me, and now, most of their Lao Tzu is gone, but there are still some people alive. Do you think it's appropriate for them to watch me kill their son? ”
"Old man, do you think it is appropriate for them to watch their son usurp this great position? There is only one owner of the village in Qinglong Mountain, and this owner can only be surnamed Xie, which is the key. When you people laid this foundation, everyone was trying to survive, maybe no one thought much about it, just wanted to live. So everyone is close and easy to get along with. But now that I have a territory and a status, my life is better, and I think about it more. ”
He took a sip of tea, "Some people feel that they have taken less, some people think that others have shared more, and some simply take a fancy to the position of this big village owner." These people cannot be appeased. It doesn't matter how good you are to them, they won't appreciate you, but will only think that they deserve it. Fear of power but not virtue, this kind of person can be found everywhere. The old man said that he wanted them to discuss my life and death, and I think he wanted them to stand in line. ”
"Those in your womb do not know what is going on on our borders." Hao Yunlong didn't answer this question, but said to himself:
"It's bitter on the borderland, lack of money and food, lack of clothing and medicine, in short, there is nothing to want, everything is lacking. Everyone has a hard life, and they want to find a sustenance for themselves, always thinking that if they endure hardships in this life, they will be able to enjoy happiness in the next life, or as long as they accumulate enough blessings in this life, they will be able to live a good life in the second half of their lives. This dynasty started from the Red Turban Army, and it was inseparable from the White Lotus Sect, and many of us in the border army joined the sect. The officials don't ask about this kind of thing, and no one cares about it in private, as long as it doesn't make a big deal, it's nothing. ”
"That Zhao Quan is also a member of the White Lotus Sect. He is a border army household on Jiliao's side, and we have to be regarded as parishioners. Everyone is a member of the sect, and his visit this time can be regarded as a visit to the parishioners. And he has a letter from the head of the sect, and his status is not low, don't look at it just an empty person who came, in my village, there are really many people who are close to him. ”
"So if the eldest lady slashes him outside, it will be a split. But when you enter the stockade, if you kill him again, someone will have to come out and speak, right? Yang Chengzu said:
"I think most of those people are willing to be close to him, not because of the sect, but because of other reasons. Just like the businessmen hired by us can betray me, I think if it is just a parishioner, it is just a few meals, everyone drinks together, and nothing else is necessary. The reason why those people are willing to be close to him always has their reasons, and Zhao Quan probably has some opinions, which are beneficial to them, or to the disadvantage of the old master. ”
"This kid has an idea. After I came, I wanted to say that I wanted to join the gang, and there were many people in my cottage, but he was not one worse. Besides, with his martial arts skills, he is enough to be a leader. But he was not quite the same as an ordinary leader, and when he went up the mountain, he said at one time that he would teach people to read and write, and then he said that he would set up a workshop, search for skilled craftsmen, and make instruments. ”
"Again, it is necessary to change to a group of heroes to discuss the mode, the affairs of this cottage, everyone in the cottage is in charge, and everyone has to discuss and handle it when they encounter problems. I'm old and can't keep up with his brain, but I know that he does have talent, and with him, maybe Qinglong Mountain will really go better. ”
"But what does that have to do with you?" Yang Chengzu said: "Qinglong Mountain is good, but it makes you lose the position of the owner of the village, so that the eldest lady cannot inherit the throne of the master of the village, so no matter how good Qinglong Mountain is, what is the use?" No matter how prosperous Liangshan is, what good will Wang Lun have? ”
"But do you think that now that I have joined him, how can I convince the public?" Hao Yunlong sighed and said: "There are many old brothers whose hearts are alive, and they feel that he has brains and should do what he says." There are also people who pinch me and ask me to recruit him as my son-in-law, and he does have this meaning, but the girl doesn't look down on him, so it didn't work out. I understand her thoughts, but I want you to say a word, what do you think of the girl? ”
"Old man, I want to say that I am willing to join your mountain, can you believe this?"
"Yes, it is said that Zhao Quan is more suitable than you, you and the girl are not all the way. If she follows you, she will probably suffer. But Zhao Quan's heart is too big, what he thinks is to be the emperor. ”
