The thin man's eyes were shining, and he looked directly at Tian Chunlai, "Who are you?"

"Why do you need to ask? Just tell Boss Kou that old friends from Shouzhou are coming to visit. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" Tian Chunlai said indifferently.

The thin man looked around suspiciously for a while, then looked around, didn't see anything unusual, and was a little hesitant in his heart.

During this period of time, there were a lot of people coming and going to the lake, making it difficult for the boss to sleep and eat, and he didn't want to see outsiders again, he could also see that the boss was now under great pressure, as the boss himself said, the future fate of the brothers in the lake was also in this move, taking the wrong road, going astray, it would make the brothers in the lake head in a different place, he had to be cautious.

As the boss's henchman, he also vaguely knew that forces from all sides were trying to win over the boss, such as people from Jiangdu, Luzhou, and Jiangning, all of whom promised many benefits, but the boss just listened and did not express his position.

The person in front of him is obviously also a lobbyist, but he doesn't know where he is from.

Seeing that the thin man refused to report, Tian Chunlai was not angry, and said with a smile: "The people who come are all guests, whether you see them or not, what is the result after seeing them, you still have to decide whether it is a curse or a blessing, and the decision is not in the hands of your boss, is it so difficult?"

Tian Chunlai's indifferent attitude made the thin man make a decision, nodded, and with a little step, a starling quietly landed on his shoulder, and then flew away quickly.

The boat continued to glide forward, but the lean man's expression had returned to normal.

Tian Chunlai didn't care, at this time, the Chaohu gang of water bandits could still calm down, it could be seen that Kou Wenli was still very appealing in this gang, no one wanted to be a water bandit for the rest of his life, if he could seek a good background, who would not want to?

But it is very important to choose a correct object, the wrong choice may be the wrong life, it is difficult to turn over, and the right choice may be the glory and wealth of the blessing of the descendants, not to be cautious.

It is conceivable that Xu Zhihe and Yang Pu should have extended an olive branch to Kou Wenli, Xu Zhihe can get this force, which is equivalent to laying a nail in Yang Pu's hinterland, and he can attack Yang Pu's hinterland at any time, and Yang Pu can stabilize the hinterland with this force, and he can also use this force to attack Xu Zhihe's hinterland area together with the naval army mastered by Xu Zhixun.

So far, Kou Wenli has not made a decision, which shows that Kou Wenli still has some eyesight, knowing that the big players have not yet made a move, and everything is still full of uncertainty.

The yellow reeds slowly come into view, and the endless but intricate scenery of the lake is intimidating to anyone who doesn't belong here.

Even if a heavenly master comes here, looking at this complex and indistinguishable terrain, it is estimated that he can only sigh with admiration, thirty or fifty people drill into this reed, even if you have an army of 100,000, you are helpless.

Tian Chunlai spent a lot of time admiring the scenery of Chaohu Lake in this winter, not caring at all about the vigilant attitude of the lean man, but he was thinking about how to convince the other party after seeing Kou Wenli.

If it was only Xu Zhihe or Yang Pu who came to lobby Kou Wenli, Tian Chunlai would not be afraid, and the deep hatred with the Yang family made it unlikely that Kou Wenli would serve Yang Pu, while Xu Zhihe's side was more likely.

But Xu Zhihe is more like an invader in the eyes of Luzhou people, although Kou Wenli is dissatisfied with the Yang family, but it does not mean that Xu Zhihe, who is hostile to the Yang family, can be recognized by him, the Xu family has always adopted a hostile policy towards Luzhou, which is a family made by Yang Xingmi, and many children of the gentry in Luzhou are difficult to get ahead in Jiangdu, Kou Wenli is also very clear about this, it can be said that the entire Luzhou people are not credible in the eyes of the Xu family.

What made Tian Chunlai a little worried was the Yue Guo Qian family.

It seems that the Yue Guo Qian clan is far away from Chaohu, but with the ambition of the Yue Guo Qian clan, it is impossible not to see the importance of this Chaohu water bandit.

The Yang and Xu families fought to the death, but the Chaohu water bandits controlled the hinterland of Luzhou and the throat of the water into the river, and their power even extended to the line of Hezhou and Xuanzhou, which was undoubtedly an important chess piece for the Yue Kingdom that wanted to annex the south of the Yangtze River alone.

As long as this force can be obtained, it will be much easier to Jingluhe Prefecture, Runzhou and Xuanzhou, especially as an important weight to counter Xu Zhixun's Jiangning Naval Army, which is extremely crucial.

The Qian clan has a large number of talents, and they have been dormant for so many years, it can be said that the most urgent thing to look forward to the fight between the Yang and Xu families is Yueguo, and even more than Huaiyou.

The boat increased in speed, and soon entered the reeds, which were sometimes wide and narrow, with the occasional area of wider water, but almost all around were so yellow that you could not make out the comings and goings.

Of course, Tian Chunlai knew that these bandits had their own secret marks to mark, but they knew everything about the places that outsiders couldn't identify, which was also the foundation of their survival.

Half an hour later, a starling landed on the shoulder of the lean man, and as soon as the lean man stretched out his hand, the starling jumped into the man's hand, and the man took a small bamboo pipe from under the starling's feet, took out the note in the tube, and threw it into the water after a glance.

"Let's go, the boss is waiting for you. ”

When Tian Chunlai saw Kou Wenli, it was already three hours later.

The lean man's boat soon joined a medium-sized clipper, and together they boarded the clipper, heading straight into the center of the lake.

After three hours of running, I even enjoyed a famous grilled fish feast on Chaohu Lake on the boat before finally landing.

Although he didn't know where the shore was, Tian Chunlai knew that this was already on land, not on the island in the middle of the lake, which was normal.

"Wenli, it's really hard to see you. As soon as Tian Chunlai came ashore, he saw a man in black shirt walking quickly, his slightly gloomy face did not look like a character who had lived on the surface for a long time, but had the temperament of a literati, but the rough palm proved that he was not a character who lived by pen and ink.

"Brother Chunlai is not surprised, during this time, he is also like a rat drilling bellows, angry everywhere, but there is nowhere to stay, and he is extremely frightened. The man in the black shirt stepped forward and hugged Tian Chunlai warmly, looking extremely happy.

"Yes? A certain Guan Wenli is left and right, and he wants the wind to get the wind, and he wants the rain to get the rain. Tian Chunlai smiled.

"I know bitterly, isn't Brother Chunlai coming here this time to give some guidance?" The man in black smiled bitterly and shook his head: "If it's just one person, there are still one or two thousand brothers under this hand, and a certain brother has been in the wind and rain for twenty years, and when the wind and waves are urgent, he always has to find a way out for the brothers." ”

"It's not like Li Shiqi, it's an exaggeration to point out the maze, in fact, Wen Li should have a plan in his heart. Tian Chunlai said lightly as he walked: "Those who promise heavy profits must have a plan, and vice versa." ”

Kou Wenli is an assertive person, not an outsider can lobby, and he is willing to see himself, in fact, he has already shown a lot, that is, he has no intention of accepting other people's solicitation, but he doesn't know if there are envoys from the Qian clan in Yueguo, if they have already come, and why Kou Wenli is unwilling to accept the Qian clan's solicitation, this is what Tian Chunlai wants to understand.

"Hehe, it's still Brother Chunlai who knows so-and-so. The man in the black shirt said angrily: "Don't hide it from Brother Chunlai, there have been many people during this time, but a certain has been terrified, a certain is just a grass coward, even if there are one or two thousand brothers, maybe they can be used by people now, but what about in the future?

This is probably the biggest doubt and anxiety of these grass cobs as Kou Wenli.

Characters like them have always been unaccepted by the gentry and noble families, whether it is Yang Pu or Xu Zhihe, or the Qian family, they are all wealthy families, and it can be said that in terms of blood kinship, these grass cowards are disgusted.

It's like ant thieves crisscrossing the Central Plains Jianghuai, no one is willing to recruit and accept them, even if it is a character with a vulgar background like the Liang Zhu family, he only dares to secretly collude with him, and he never dares to make it public, like Jiang Feng, a character who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and must avoid it.

At this time, for the sake of their own strategy, the feudal clans naturally threw hydrangeas at Kou Wenli and these Chaohu water bandits, but once it happened, it was inevitable that the birds would hide the rabbits and the dead dogs, and Kou Wenli was very normal at this time, how could these feudal lords fulfill their promises?

In a sense, Jiang Feng also has this idea, to let Kou Wenli and them go to be black hands and do some filthy things that cannot be made public, Tian Chunlai believes that Kou Wenli is willing to do these things, but you have to give them a chance to self-bleach, and now Jiang Feng can only say that he has a general idea, whether Kou Wenli can believe it or not, it depends on Tian Chun to come here.

From Tian Chun's point of view, Jiang Feng is relatively benevolent, at least he will give Kou Wenli a chance for them, even if this opportunity is very humble, but if it is really too good, they are afraid that Kou Wenli will not believe it.

"Wenli, this time I came here for this, but Wenli, I'm afraid that I can't give you too good conditions, I'm afraid that you also have to be psychologically prepared, whether you succeed or not, Wenli, you decide by yourself, if there is anything you don't understand, if you can say it, you can say, if you can't say it, Wenli you will realize it, I believe that the first few groups of people are afraid that they will also give Wenli a lot of promises. ”

Tian Chunlai pondered for a while, before he said this, he believed that he could understand what Kou Wenli said, if Kou Wenli was a smart person, he would be able to understand that if some things looked too beautiful, they would probably be flowers in the moon mirror in the water, but it would be better to have lower expectations.
