Xu Zhong "chuckled" in his heart, and said secretly: "It's here." ”

Sure enough, Yu Chengzhu pointed to the group of people on Treasure Island: "Why did they come together?" ”

Xu Zhong was silent, although his superiors only instructed him to do things, there was no specific indication, and some things would not be directly revealed, this is the difference between officialdom and the rivers and lakes.

Whether officialdom is about interests or the interests of the sword, the rivers and lakes are straightforward expressions of their feelings.

Xu Zhong likes rivers and lakes, but he can't rely on officialdom. This dilemma, he has not been able to reconcile. Maybe there are some things that can't be coordinated.

But Xu Zhong didn't answer, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know at all, people are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves, and officialdom is not.

One is that people are in it, fighting with their lives, so they need to see the six ways, listen to the eight directions, and be superb in martial arts, so that they can survive.

One is that people are in it, fighting with their lives, it is not a fight, but a game, although there is no blood, but there is no wolf smoke on the battlefield. You need to be deaf and bright, delicate in all directions, and good at dancing with long sleeves, so that you can live a decent life.

The two are both different and similar, although there are some things that Xu Zhong can't cut the tofu on both sides, but after a lot of experience, he won't be able to, some things don't need to be said at all, he knows his belly, and he won't say it.

Xu Zhong knew something, but he couldn't say anything, so he only didn't answer. Yu Chengzhu is also a transparent person, so when he saw this, he didn't ask any more, and changed his words, saying: "If I compete with them, who will you help, Lord Xu?" ”

This sentence can answer her, Xu Zhong said: "This is not official business, natural bystanders." ”

Yu Chengzhu said: "No matter whether you win or lose, or live or die. ”

When she said the word "life and death", her voice raised, and then asked, "Lord Xu and your colleagues don't interfere?" ”

This sentence is difficult to answer, it is not right to say yes, it is not right to say no, but fortunately, Xu Zhong has some experience in officialdom and knows that in this dilemma, in addition to being noncommittal, there is also a way to respond.

So he nodded, nodding was nothing, neither a promise, nor a written note, it was a contract, but he nodded with a solemn expression, indicating that the matter was very serious, and he approved of it.

Yu Chengzhu turned pale at first glance, she had already dealt with the rivers and lakes and officialdom, she nodded and ordered: "Serve tea." ”

After a while, the tea came, and Xu Zhong raised his lamp and said, "Please." He took a sip, and the rest of the crowd took a sip as well.

And that Lord Hu's cronies also want to drink, only to listen to the bystanders: "What do you drink, you should accompany Lord Hu!" ”

The man laughed and said, "Don't laugh, I took refuge in Master Hu for the sake of the whole family." ”

Xu Zhong squinted and said: "You see the wind and make the rudder, and turn very fast!" ”

The man smiled and said, "The sea is stormy, can you not see the wind and rudder?" ”

Xu Zhong snorted heavily, stopped talking, and the man also took a sip of tea.

This sip of tea actually represents the meaning of standing by and watching, which is to use the ceremony to consolidate this heart, Yu Chengzhu did not force them to express their position, Xu Zhong was also white, so he used this ceremony to make a promise.

That is the tacit understanding of the people in the rivers and lakes, and others really can't see it.

Yu Chengzhu turned his head and said to the group of people from Treasure Island in the hall: "It stands to reason that I should have a salute with you, but our well water does not interfere with river water, I really don't know what you are doing, please forgive me for being rude, and ask directly about my intentions." ”

Among the group came a scribe about thirty years old, and said, "The Scattered Flower Woman is invited, and I have seen it in Xia Liu Ruyan." ”

Yu Chengzhu has heard the name of Liu Ruyan, he is known as the Iron Fan Xiushi, and the 36th Road Iron Fan Gong has been famous for a while, but this person does not distinguish between good and evil, but acts according to personal likes and dislikes, and the reputation of him on the rivers and lakes is not good.

Seeing him come out of the group of people on Treasure Island, Yu Chengzhu was not angry, and said: "Liu Ruyan, why does it sound like there are no bones!" ”

Liu Ruyan didn't expect Yu Chengzhu to be so polite, so she suddenly became angry and said: "It's better to have no bones than not to live!" ”

Yu Chengzhu's heart moved, thinking of Lu Ze's poisoning, and said immediately: "With hands and feet, how can you not live if you continue the righteous path?" Even if you can't survive, why harm the innocent and weak! ”

Liu Ruyan said: "Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are used as dogs, which is inherently unkind, how can there be any strong and weak!" ”

Yu Chengzhu said: "You are also a scholar, how can you not distinguish between right and wrong!" ”

Liu Ruyan said: "Survival is the last word, if you can't live, what if you distinguish right from wrong!" ”

Yu Chengzhu didn't know what to refute him for a while, but he was angry that he didn't read reasonably, at this time Ye Chenglin came out to speak, he and Yu Chengzhu connected with each other, and at this time helped his wife to relieve the siege: "You killed the whole village of Jichang Village, right?" ”

Liu Ruyan said proudly: "Not bad! ”

He actually admitted it bluntly, without the slightest intention of repenting of his mistakes, and Ye Chenglin was also angry.

Song Zhao said: "Bold, when you see my island master, you dare to be so rude!" ”

Only then did Liu Ruyan salute: "Lord Yedao is invited." ”

Ye Chenglin waved his hand, he didn't care about whether he was polite or not, he didn't care about this, but he also knew that Song Zhao was putting on his own prestige, and he wanted to create momentum, at this time, he wanted to put on a show, and Song Zhao did nothing wrong.

Ye Chenglin said: "You are on the sea, the chicken village is on the land, and the well water does not interfere with the river water, why do you want to kill the whole village?" ”

Liu Ruyan said: "Collecting money from people and eliminating disasters for others is just a rule of the rivers and lakes." ”

When Ye Chenglin and Yu Chengzhu heard this, their hearts brightened, and they said secretly: "Sure enough." ”

Just as they had guessed, they subconsciously looked to the side.

That Lord Hu's cronies hurriedly stood up and said, "It's none of our business!" ”

Xu Zhong shouted: "Did you ask you?" Sit down! ”

The cronie's surname is Lu, a single name is a flying word, usually he is a fox and a tiger, relying on the governor's brother-in-law Hu Wenlin to get close, and he called Xu Zhong and them around, but he didn't expect to be scolded by Xu Zhong on the spot, he was stunned for a moment, and when he reacted, he shouted: "Xu Zhong, I am at the same level as you, why do you train me!" ”

Xu Zhong's eyes widened, where do you want to talk to him! Lu Fei was still unconvinced, and he had to say a word to Xu Zhong, and the other colleagues pulled Lu Fei's sleeve, dragged him into his seat, and said in unison: "Don't talk!" ”

These people have been yelled at by Lu Fei all the time, and at this time, they spoke together, and the momentum was quite loud, and Lu Fei didn't dare to speak, so he had to sit down obediently.

When Yu Chengzhu saw this scene, she couldn't help but feel moved in her heart.

Xu Zhong is quite proud, it is rare for everyone to be so united, and it is faintly based on his horse's head, which coincides with his inner vision, and realizes it in front of him, he can't help but feel happy in his heart, and there is nothing more proud of life than this.
