Zhou Qingfeng ran out of money.

After buying the "Traction Catalogue", he only had ten taels of silver left. For this amount of money, he also slapped his swollen face to fill the fat man, took out two taels as entertainment expenses, and invited two old men to have a good meal. He really didn't know that he had casually recruited two guys who had been horse bandits, and he was quite scared after the negotiation of sending people away.

It's just that there is no way back now.......

After some agitation, Wang and Zhang temporarily became the two small leaders under Zhou Qingfeng. The day after the plan was set, the two families came to the door with more than a dozen children to meet Zhou Qingfeng, the 'big boss'. These people are in their teens and in their thirties, and when they see that their 'big boss' is actually a stinky little kid, they are generally very unconvinced, and some people even laugh at him.

Image, image is important!

Zhou Qingfeng wants to forcibly support this aura, and he must not be looked down upon. He's the 'big boss', not a kid. In this case, it is useless to rely on the verbal education of the two minor bosses, and he must show a certain amount of ability himself. Needless to say, he gritted his teeth and took out all the money he had left to improve the food for everyone.

"Mama Zhang."

"Young Master, what do you command?"

"Go buy Ershi rice, and the people I want to join the gang will have three meals a day from today, and there will be meat for each meal, and the food tube will be enough."

"Wang Kunpeng."

"Yes."

"You don't have any weapons to take advantage of, so you go and order fourteen spearheads, and each person has one spear."

Improving food will naturally win people's hearts. This is a rare good treatment for the farmers who can only eat two meals a day and sometimes have sweet potatoes with millet. In addition, there is meat to eat, which is really a treatment that only exists during the New Year's holidays. Just for this meal, the dozen or so people who joined the gang suddenly settled down - the 'big boss' is young, but he is not stingy at all.

As for weapons, spears are the cheapest. A spearhead is at most two catties of wrought iron, and it doesn't cost a few dollars. Don't expect any ash poles, just use a little soft and hard tree pole temporarily, four meters long is enough. A dozen people can equip their weapons with their own hands.

However, after the so-called 'grace and power', after the delicious and delicious hospitality, Zhou Qingfeng came to a trick that others had not seen. He gathered a dozen people in his yard and lined them up, and then pointed his spear at the door of each of his men with the sharp tip of the spear, and loudly asked the other party how he felt—it was like a new recruit enlisting in the army, and the old squad leader was facing each other with a shiny bayonet.

Throughout the long history of evolution, humans have an innate fear of sharp objects. This is an instinctive reaction that cannot be avoided and can only be restrained. When the spearhead approached the front door, even Wang Zhang's two small leaders were startled, and the other subordinates all had hair standing on end, and their legs and feet were weak. If it's serious, your mind will go blank, and you'll either be stupid or run away.

In this case, Zhou Qingfeng also asked how he felt, and no one could finish the sentence at all. Several of them stammered a few times in fright, and two simply strode back, turning to escape.

"Yes, better than I thought, and the courage to stand up straight when the spear approached. Forget about these two who retreat and dodge, let them eat another good meal, and send them away. Zhou Qingfeng, a small man of 1.3 meters, carried a spear and paced back and forth in front of his team. More than a dozen of his subordinates were sweating like pulp by him, and their souls were not possessed, and they looked at him like a demon.

After Zhou Qingfeng finished speaking, Uncle Zhang, who was among the little leaders, knew that Zhou Qingfeng was training the courage of the team. He looked at the pale and excited red faces of his nephews and nephews, and said secretly in his heart: "Amazing, amazing, the big boss is really powerful."

In the past, horse bandits recruited people, and they had to fight hard to know whether the novice could do it? You even have to submit a petition for your name. Because some people boast that they are better than anyone else, but when they play, they have weak legs. The trick of the 'big master' to practice courage with the tip of a spear is really a small skill, and it is really remarkable. In the future, when recruiting people, Lao Tzu also used this trick to select people. ”

And the other small boss, Uncle Wang, had an ugly face, because the two after the lack of courage were the sons and nephews of his Wang family. Although the Wang and Zhang families are relatives, more than a dozen sons and nephews are inevitably secretly competing together. Everyone works hard and fights for the amount of food, but the most important thing is to fight for guts.

Although the seven or eight members of the Zhang family were all pale and sweaty, no one retreated, and at this moment they were all smiling for themselves to pass the test. On the contrary, the two retreating guys of the Wang family lost the face of the family, and seeing their panicked appearance, the rest of the Wang family was about to die of hatred.

The two who retreated were also pale after waking up, and quickly understood what had just happened. Just looking at the eyes of the brothers around them, they understood that if they were really driven away, not only would they leave a stain for the rest of their lives, but the Wang family would not want to raise their heads in front of the Zhang family in the future.

Uncle Wang, the little leader, went crazy with hatred, found a wooden stick and beat the two retreating nephews desperately. The two who were beaten could only endure it silently, not daring to make a sound. After the fight, Uncle Wang led the two of them to Zhou Qingfeng and knelt down, "Big shopkeeper, please be merciful, don't drive these two boys away." ”

Zhou Qingfeng dragged a Taishi chair to sit in his yard, and said slowly: "Uncle Wang, you also know what we are going to do when we gather so many people. If you turn around and run away when you see the knife soldiers on the field, how can this team take it? If you don't eat this bowl of rice, don't force it, let them go home and farm, guard the hot kang head of their wives and children, and save their lives. ”

This was said steadily, but the people of the Wang family were all panicked. This is more uncomfortable than pointing at their noses and scolding them that the Wang family has no eggs, and the remaining children and nephews also knelt down, begging Zhou Qingfeng to be lenient and not to drive his brother away.

Looking at the miserable appearance of the Wang family, the people of the Zhang family were both a little gloating and very apprehensive. They thought to themselves: Fortunately, they just survived, otherwise they would have been on their knees and embarrassed now.

Uncle Wang even hated and swore an oath: "The big shopkeeper, my old Wang was also fighting outside the border wall to make money back then, and he knew that the rules set by the leader must naturally be followed, otherwise his subordinates will deviate from morality." It's just that today it depends on whether I can let them stay with thin noodles, and I will stay behind them when they have to fight. If I am timid, I will recognize them as relatives, but I will not recognize the steel knife in my hand. ”

Seeing a group of people begging for themselves, Zhou Qingfeng's heart blossomed.

This turned the palm into a cloud, covered the hand into rain, and a little trick made a group of unruly Liaodong men bow their heads. He secretly thought: Let you look down on me when you first came, and let you eat Lao Tzu's food while slandering me behind my back that I am not a man, but only a child. Now that my reputation and status depend on my face, you have to be obedient to me.

"Uncle Wang's face, I naturally want to give it." Zhou Qingfeng personally helped his little leader up, "It's also my fault for this, it's normal for me to let my brothers go to the killing field without much training, and they will be afraid."

But if you want to earn money, you have to fight hard, and if I, the big boss, am not cruel to you, I am actually harming you. I didn't make it clear in advance about today's events, so let's get up without taking an example. It's okay to lose face today, I look forward to you earning it back in the future. ”

Slap me twice and you'll have to thank me.

Uncle Wang got up from the ground, feeling that his face was big enough, and his heart felt better. The rest of the people also swore that they would listen to the big boss, and whoever dared not listen would chop him up. Even when the Zhang family looked at Zhou Qingfeng again, they put away their original contempt, and they no longer dared to treat Zhou Qingfeng as a little child.

As the saying goes, 'grinding the gun in battle, not fast is also light'. After such a kneading and pinching, the cohesion and leadership core of the team can be regarded as established, and Zhou Qingfeng is naturally easy to speak. But after only two days of hard work, the remaining ten taels of silver were all spent, and his original plan to practice again naturally failed, and he couldn't wait to pull the team out to test his edge.

The dozen or so people in the team were also high-spirited and wanted to behave, but Zhou Qingfeng gave an order, even if he started to act. Before leaving, the two small leaders also asked Zhou Qingfeng why he didn't act in the dark, and Wang Zhang and the others always felt that it was safer to start in the dark.

Zhou Qingfeng came back with a sentence, "It's dark, and Zhao Miaozhu's people are asleep." But they must have arranged for people to keep watch at night, and they are vigilant, and they will rise up at the slightest movement. Besides, when it's dark, you can control these dozen people, and when the time comes, you won't be able to see your five fingers, and you will kill a ghost, and the team will have to be separated halfway.

Listen to me, I went to kill Zhao Miaozhu by surprise during the day, and I didn't leave a piece of armor, and I had a whole day to copy Zhao Miaozhu's home. Even if things don't go well, it's convenient to retreat. After all, who would have thought that we would go to kill people early in the morning? I bet that Zhao Miaozhu must be a fart when he sees us so ruthless. ”

Hahaha...... Zhou Qingfeng mobilized a few words, and the morale of everyone in the team was bursting. When everything was ready, Zhou Qingfeng sent down the spears that had been stored in the farmers' houses outside the city in advance, and everyone wrapped their faces in turbans, and then went out together.

Although the messy team is not very neat, although the untrained subordinates can only compete for morale, although Zhou Qingfeng himself is the first time to command this kind of 'black eats black' operation. But once the whole team took action, it carried a strong fearless momentum - because Uncle Zhou had no money, what was more terrible than being poor?

"Young master, young master, what am I doing?" Wang Kunpeng, a weak scholar, is also from the Wang family, and when he moved, he came over to ask for an errand.

"...... you? You look at the wind. Zhou Qingfeng said casually.

Wang Kunpeng suddenly begged, "Young Master, give me a spear." I'll fight with you, or my brothers will have to laugh at me. ”

In the procession, everyone on the Wang family's side was really laughing, and it was human nature to despise the weak. Zhou Qingfeng didn't take care of Wang Kunpeng's face, and flatly refused: "Don't think that the matter of Wangfeng is not important, it is likely to miss a few enemies when you fight later." If Zhao Miaozhu attracts reinforcements, someone has to give us a wake-up. You'll have to keep an eye on the road to Fushun City. ”

After speaking, Zhou Qingfeng chose an observation post for Wang Kunpeng on a tree on the side of the road, and forced him to climb up and keep an eye on the surrounding movements. At this time, the entire 'black eats black' team had arrived less than two hundred meters outside the Dragon King Temple, and the temple wall and the spire of the Dragon King Hall could be seen in front of them. After the 'Heavenly Eye', a faint purple glow shrouded it.

"Wang and Zhang, the two leaders."

"Yes."

"Divide the troops, a team of eight. I personally led a team through the back door. As soon as the enemy attracts the attention of the other party, I will have the trumpet blown, and you will rush in through the front door, and strike me back and forth, killing them like a river of blood. ”

"Order."

"Let's go, go and see what opportunities are hidden in this Dragon King Temple waiting for Lao Tzu. I can't wait to get my hands on it. ”
