Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Need for People
"Gao Jibo is now occupied by Dou Jiande, and two or three thousand of his brothers under the big boss have defected to him. When our big boss raised the flag, it was Dou Jiande who did his best to help. This person is said to be extremely righteous, and now Brother He Ruo is seriously injured, or ......"
The man who led the people to kill Ju Yeze walked up to Li Xian and asked tentatively.
Li Xian glanced at the dying He Ruozhong Mountain and said: "This is your business, I don't know you, and I can't talk about what it is like at first sight, Brother He Ruo is in urgent need of treatment now, if there is a good doctor in Gaojibo, you can take him with you." ”
His attitude was a little cold, and there was no enthusiasm on his face.
For this person who was killed at the last moment, on the surface, it seems that Li Xian should be grateful to him, but Li Xian has no good impression of this person, and always feels that this person is too scheming. If Zhang Jin's people did not gather on a large scale, he only needed to bring two or three hundred people, which was enough to rescue He Ruozhongshan. But apparently, the man had no intention of doing that. If it weren't for Li Xian's last arrow that knocked over Zhang Jincheng, I am afraid that this person will not stand up if he is still lurking.
That's right, he did it to avenge Sun Anzu.
But Li Xian really doesn't have a good impression of this kind of person who is so calm that he is not close to people, although in many cases, Li Xian also hopes that he is such a person. Since he was still in infancy, he has seen too many life and death partings and intrigues, and sometimes Li Xian really wants to be a cold-blooded person who doesn't recognize his six relatives, as long as he can guarantee that he won't die. But he really couldn't.
Because he knows that if he can really be cold-blooded, he must seal his heart and no one can be put in except himself. If anyone really does this, then there is no doubt that he will be incomparably stronger.
The person in front of Li Xian, although he can't be absolutely calm, is far more calm than ordinary people. Such a person is a hero, and if he takes a step back, he is a scum.
"My name is Ji Haotian, and I am the ninth under Sun Da's master. You can call me Ji Xiaojiu, it seems that I am a few years older than you, if you don't mind, you can also be like them, call me Brother Xiaojiu. ”
He glanced at Li Xian apologetically and said, "I don't know He Ruozhongshan. ”
Li Xian was stunned, and suddenly realized whether he had misunderstood something.
Ji Haotian sat down on the grass beside Li Xian, sighed and said, "I entered Gaojibo late, Brother He Ruo has been in Saibei for more than a year, and I haven't seen him. To be honest, I didn't even know there was such a person as Kawaka Shigeyama. Since I became the master of Sun Da, I have been studying the art of war, rarely going out, and rarely coming into contact with others. When Brother He Ruo and the others entered Junoze, I didn't know that my own people were coming......"
He raised his head and glanced at Li Xian and smiled bitterly.
"If it weren't for the fact that I heard them shouting to kill Zhang Jin, life and death together, I wouldn't know that they were all brothers under Sun Da's family."
His expression was sincere, and there was no hypocrisy in his words.
"Anyway, thank you, I've been planning for a long time, but I haven't found the right opportunity to do it. I thank you for Gao Jibo's brothers, you killed Zhang Jincheng and avenged the big boss. ”
He looked at Li Xian and said, "Do you know why I asked you just now how we are going?" ”
Li Xian shook his head.
Ji Haotian said very seriously: "At the beginning, our brothers swore that no matter who avenges Sun Da's family, we will treat him as the big master, and he will be the successor of Sun Da's family!" You killed Zhang Jin and said, from today onwards, the lives of these thousand brothers will be handed over to you. ”
Seeing Li Xian's expression change, Ji Haotian said: "Don't shirk, this is the blood oath of the brothers, you can't push it off!" ”
Li Xian slowly shook his head and said, "I'll push it off." ”
He sat down next to Ji Haotian, looked at He Ruozhongshan lying on a stretcher not far away, and said, "My arrow should not have been able to kill Zhang Jincheng." Missed a bit, missed the point. Therefore, you still have to make your own decisions about the future path, as for whether you go to Gaojibo to join Dou Jiande, I have no right to ask. In addition, I advise you to make a decision as soon as possible, although I have given medicine to Brother He Ruo, but he is too seriously injured and has lost too much blood, if it is delayed any longer...... I'm afraid he won't have a few days to live. ”
Contrary to Li Xian's expectations, Ji Haotian did not show any surprise or disappointment. He just nodded, and his voice was very low: "I know"
Li Xian glanced at Ji Haotian in surprise, and didn't understand why Ji Haotian said the above words since Ji Haotian knew that Zhang Jin was not dead. Moreover, Zhang Jin said that he was not dead, perhaps in addition to Zhang Jin claiming that he knew best at that time, Li Xian kept staring after the arrow was shot. Ji Haotian said he knew, how did he know?
"Zhang Jin said that he is used to wearing two layers of chain mail under his robe!"
As if seeing Li Xian's surprise, Ji Haotian explained: "That arrow didn't hit Zhang Jincheng's throat, so I knew that he couldn't die." Zhang Jin called people cunning and insidious, he didn't trust anyone, he only trusted himself. Of course, you're already amazing. ”
Ji Haotian said with sincere approval: "A hundred steps away, right in the chest, very powerful!" ”
Li Xian shook his head: "I just want to know, why do you pretend to think that Zhang Jin is dead, knowing that Zhang Jin is not dead?" ”
Ji Haotian smiled, lowered his head and plucked a weed, put it in his mouth and chewed: "Now the brothers are very confused, someone must lead them, otherwise if they disperse, sooner or later they will become a scourge to one side." They all now think that you have killed Zhang Jin, which is good, and at least they have a goal, that is, to follow you, the heir of the Sun family. If they knew now that Zhang Jin was not dead, they were afraid that the people in Juye Zezhong would retaliate, and they would definitely be in chaos. Maybe someone will run back to Juyeze and tell Zhang Jin about our whereabouts. ”
"You can't hold fire in paper."
Li Xian said.
Ji Haotian said: "It's okay, if they know that Zhang Jin is not dead in the future, you can take them to kill them again." The main thing is that now they must be made to think that Zhang Jincheng is dead. Therefore, whether it is to go back to Gaojibo to join Dou Jiande, or to go away, someone must stand up and lead them. And you, the only one. ”
Li Xian said: "They listen to you." ”
Ji Haotian shook his head and said: "They don't listen to me, they just look at who avenged Sun Da's family." When I persuaded them to pretend to surrender to Zhang Jin, I told them that sooner or later I would avenge the big boss. The reason why Dou Jiande occupied Gao Jibo so quickly was also because he swore to avenge the big boss. ”
He explained, "The reason is actually very simple, it seems that they listened to my orders when they killed Junozawa. In fact, you should be aware that they are not thorough. That's because in that case, in fact, no matter who stands up, they will blindly obey, because at that time they want to leave, the revenge has already been avenged, and they want to leave. I've just borrowed the momentum of that time, and now if you let me command them again, few people will listen to me. I know you don't believe it, but that's the truth. ”
"So, whether you like it or not, you have to take that responsibility on your shoulders."
Li Xian frowned and said, "This is not my responsibility, the reason why I came to ......"
Ji Haotian interrupted his words, pointed at He Ruozhongshan and said, "You are here for Brother He Ruo, right?" If he hadn't been unconscious now, it would have been the same choice as mine. ”
Li Xian was stunned and speechless for a long time.
Ji Haotian continued to persuade: "That's it, if you really don't want to wade into this troubled water, you can be wronged for a while, and wait a few days to find a place to settle down, and then you can leave." ”
After finishing speaking, Ji Haotian stopped talking, but sat there quietly waiting for Li Xian's answer. Li Xian raised his head and looked at He Ruozhong Mountain again, and then exhaled a long breath of turbidity.
"The brigade can't go to Gaojibo!"
Li Xian suddenly spoke.
Ji Haotian's eyes lit up, and then he nodded and said, "You have the final say!" ”
Li Xian hummed and said: "I'll bring you someone to Yanshan, the people of the imperial court just combed the horse thieves on the mountain a while ago, and now it's safe to go back!" After arriving in Yanshan, I will leave after a while, and the person is still yours! ”
"What about Brother He Ruo?"
Ji Haotian said: "Otherwise, I will send someone to find Lang Zhong first, and then send Brother He Ruo to Dou Jiande." Just tell him that Brother He Ruo is a hero who took people to avenge Sun Da's family, Dou Jiande didn't dare to do anything to him, on the contrary, if he wanted to win people's hearts, he had to treat Brother He Ruo's injuries well! We don't have medicine now, and the desolation on Yanshan can only delay Brother He Ruo's injury. ”
Li Xian nodded and said, "Just do it." ”
Ji Haotian stood up and respectfully saluted Li Xian: "Thank you, since I decided to avenge the big boss, the burden has been on my shoulders, and now that the burden is given to you, I can relax." ”
He turned and walked towards the soldiers under Sun Anzu's command.
"We've got a big boss now! His name is Li Xian, it is him, and he shot the dog thief Zhang Jin with an arrow! Just now, he had promised to take everyone to find a place to settle down! ”
Ji Haotian said loudly.
"Good!"
"Whew!"
The crowd erupted in cheers.
No one saw it, and a trace of cunning flashed in Ji Haotian's eyes.
"Anzhi, did you promise him?"
Luo Fu and the others gathered around Li Xian, and their eyes were fixed on Li Xian's face. Chen Que'er was a anxious surname, and he couldn't wait to ask when he squatted down.
Li Xian nodded: "Yes, I promised them to take them to find a safe place to settle down." ”
"Where?"
"Go back to Yanshan!"
The Iron Wolf laughed, his eyes bright. He looked at Li Xian and said, "Young General, it's right to do this." Let's be honest...... We need people now! The brothers of the Blood Rider and the Iron Float are almost dead, and if they want to survive, they must gather a group of talents. Although these guys are very vegetable, as long as they give me three months, they can practice basic tactics. The world is about to be chaotic, with these people, even if we just want to live in peace on Yanshan and don't want to muddy the water, it's safe! ”
Li Xian nodded and did not speak.
It's just that a voice in his heart said apologetically: Yes...... I need people.
Similarly, no one saw it, and in his gaze at Ji Haotian, there was a trace of strange color that flickered. Soon, so fast that no one could capture the meaning in that look.
