Chapter 201: A Decision (6)
Regardless of whether what he said was sincere or not, at least he was very imposing.
Song Deping nodded: "Very good!" ”
"Then," he added, "and our Song family is loyal to the Great Wu, and you, including me, are all Wu people!" ”
Originally, everyone knew what he was recruiting people for, these people were always ready to leave here with the Song family's property and family members when the Northern Tang Dynasty attacked Lin'an, but no one figured out what happened when Song Deping suddenly said these words today.
"Now, Lin'an Gong Jin'an is out of the mountain, the banner is going, and everyone is looking forward to it, and I, Song Deping, am determined to take you to follow him, fight back against the Northern Tang Dynasty, and regain the lost territory!"
This time, what he said did not receive a passionate response from everyone, and around him was a large area of whispering.
These men looked at each other, obviously "frightened" by Song Deping's words.
Some of them are actually not afraid of death, but it is always excellent to be able to not die, although it is necessary to take a lot of risks to protect Song Deping's family and property, but at least it is possible to survive in danger, and once they participate in the battle, in the face of the wolf-like Northern Tang army, it is definitely impossible to return.
However, Song Deping said that he would follow Lin'an Gong Jin'an to fight against the Northern Tang army, is that true?
Almost no one believed him.
Everyone knows that although Lin'an Gong Jin'an bears the title of the first person of the young generation of Southern Wu, he really ignores things outside the window, and only focuses on traveling with Her Royal Highness the little princess.
That was in the past, and now that the little princess Ji Ru has fled, he can't get out, in order to protect the other party, he must be willing to stay by the other party's side for a lifetime.
Under such circumstances, Song Deping's claim that he would follow Jin An to kill the enemy is as ridiculous as a child preparing to deceive an adult.
Having said that, taking people's money and eliminating disasters for others, they got benefits from Song Deping, it was a transaction, but it was also the consequence of Song Deping letting them have a bite to eat and directly refusing, they had to weigh it.
Song Deping had already guessed that such a scenario would happen, so he didn't stop something, and let these people look at each other in whispers.
His gaze swept over all sorts of people, and finally landed on a young man.
The young man pursed his lips as if thinking about something, and stood there alone without looking at or talking to anyone else.
It is Jiang Tunshui that he is more interested in and optimistic about.
Sensing his gaze, Jiang Tunshui looked at him.
"Jiang Tunshui, you seem to have something to say?"
Jiang Tunshui hesitated for a moment and asked, "Family Master, really, I just want to make sure that we really want to follow Lin'an Gong Jin'an to fight back against the Northern Tang army to regain lost territory?" ”
Song Deping's face became a little serious, and he nodded firmly: "I can tell you very responsibly, it's true, it's absolutely not fake, I'm going to take you to see him now, although most of you haven't seen him in person, but presumably, the first time you see him, you will be sure: it's him, it's definitely him, it won't be anyone else." ”
"Family Master, I believe in you," Jiang Tunshui nodded and said, "I am willing to follow the family master and the Duke of Lin'an to recover the lost land, and I will not give up!" ”
He raised his fist as if to swear an oath, and there wasn't much impassionedness, nothing more.
But there is a spirit, a power from the depths of his soul that makes him look so extraordinary.
His spirit deeply infected other people, and even Song Deping was affected in the slightest.
"What are we still doing in a daze?" A man suddenly shouted, "The people of the Northern Tang Dynasty have already broken through Jinling, that is a sea of blood and a great shame, can we big men only be able to carry knives, but flee like rabbits!?" ”
"Yes, that's humiliation!" Another person chimed in, "Anyway, all the people who picked up were knives, and now that the head of the family can choose to dedicate himself to Dawu, what are we waiting for?" ”
People are always easily infected by the emotions of the people around them, which is probably a kind of resonance in the soul, and these times they do not think much about whether what they are about to do is right or wrong, and what the consequences will be.
Indeed, in many cases, reason does not prevail, people just follow a biological instinct, and people who are rational most of the time can become a generation of heroes, and then order these people, such as Li Zenan.
Song Deping smiled, the smile couldn't tell whether it was bitter or gratifying, to say that he had no feelings for Dawu, it was definitely untrue, but he was the head of the Song family, and he had to take into account the interests of his own family, and people in this position would always lose a lot of things, and sometimes, those things would return.
He felt hopeless that he could defeat the Northern Tang, and he felt that there was no hope, so he rejected Jin An.
But if, just if, Nanwu can really recover the lost ground, then all this he has paid is really worth it.
It was as if he had found the feeling of his youth.
He went out of the house and into the street, where his carriage was waiting for him.
The carriage traveled all the way down the street, followed by hundreds of people behind, so to speak, out of the feeling of being in a vast state.
Today, the people of Lin'an are surprised to find that Lin'an's large and small families are heading out of the city from all directions with surging people and horses like waves.
They were amazed, and many of them restrained their behavior of hiding at home like shrunken turtles, and followed the ranks of various families out of the city gate together.
Outside Lin'an City, the scenery is picturesque, the mountains are charming, like a fairyland.
Although it was a little hot and dry because of the rising sun, it did not dampen people's interest.
Everyone wants to know what these families want to do.
The crowd started from the Fengshan Gate of Lin'an, all the way to the south, to an unknown era.
……
……
Hu Wangji, the master of the assassin history, sat on the high platform, although he looked calm, but in fact, there was a lot of instability in his heart.
He knows these families, and when they have common interests with him, they seem to be looking at him, but when they turn their faces, they will definitely be thunderous.
On the surface, Jin An's methods made these people obedient, at least orally. But he knows that interests will make many people become unrecognized, let alone a vain Jin An.
There was no way for him to do it himself, because Jin An's knife had been hanging above his head like this, and it would fall anytime and anywhere.
