"It's hard to do, it's not something I did alone!" Although the conditions given by Ding Li were very tempting, the requirements put forward were also very harsh, so Huo Lang shook his head and refused after thinking for a while, as if he was afraid that Ding Li would misunderstand, and seemed to be trying to convince himself, and then added in a low voice: "That is my eldest brother's hard work for more than ten years, and it is also exchanged for the lives of countless dead brothers in Huojialing, although I am the second leader, but I can't do such a big thing!" ”

It seemed that he had expected Huo Lang to refuse so simply, Ding Li nodded without minding, smiled and said nothing, until Huo Lang in front of him couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart and asked, Ding Li suddenly stared at Huo Lang's eyes full of urgency and continued to speak in a deep voice: "Third, for you and me, and even for the brothers behind you and me, it can be regarded as the best ending!" ”

Huo Lang didn't understand it anymore, with his brain, he really couldn't think of any other way to achieve the best of both worlds that Ding Li said, but after Ding Li paused for a few seconds, the words that came out of Ding Li's mouth again made Huo Lang also surprised, and even staggered back two steps.

"I personally reported to the Jiedu Mansion to recruit your brothers in Huojialing! Including you and everyone behind you, as well as everyone on Huojialing! ”

This sentence is undoubtedly more like a bombshell falling on his head for Huo Lang, Ding Li in front of him actually said that he wanted to report to the Jiedu Mansion to recruit himself, a team with thousands of people, this sudden news made Huo Lang can't believe it at all, staring at Ding Li with a shocked face for a long time, until his mind calmed down a little, he gradually kept a serious Ding Li in front of him is not joking with himself.

"No way, General Ding is really joking!" Huo Lang still refused to believe what was happening in front of him, shook his head persistently, sneered, and continued to add in a slightly self-deprecating tone: "A person of my status, in addition to making General Ding's position a few more grades, how can there be any other use value!" Besides, I, Huo Lang, am also the number two person in Huojialing, if I remember it well, Guangzhou City has raised my reward to 1,000 yuan a few years ago, so many years have passed, how to say that it should be doubled! ”

"That's right, Huo Er's worth has indeed risen! And it's more than doubled! Ding Li didn't hide it, Ding Li was clear about the content of the wanted notice of Jiedu Mansion, smiled at Huo Lang, nodded in response and raised his hand to stretch out three fingers, and shook them in front of Huo Lang before continuing: "Three thousand yuan!" The current worth of the second master is a full three thousand yuan, even if all the other brothers of Huo Jialing are combined, they are not worth half of the second master of Huo Jialing! ”

Seeing that Ding Li was still joking with himself at this time, Huo Lang also shook his head a little crying and laughing, then sighed, raised his eyes slightly and looked at Ding Li and asked, "General Ding, don't you just lack money and food?" Three thousand yuan is not a small amount, right? Even if it is in our Huojialing, General Ding will definitely not be able to get so many benefits, right? Isn't General Ding doing a business that is clearly at a loss? ”

"Neither nor not!" Ding Li immediately withdrew two of his three fingers and waved at Huo Lang, with a meaningful smile on his face, and explained softly to Huo Lang: "Three thousand yuan is indeed too attractive, but whether Jiedu Mansion can come up with such a large sum of money at once, no matter what others think, I don't believe it anyway!" And with the relationship between our Southern Navy and Jiedu Mansion, even if Jiedu Mansion relies on the three thousand yuan, I can't do anything, after all, I can't take my brothers to Jiedu Mansion with a knife to ask for debts, right? ”

When he said this, Huo Lang seemed to have understood what Ding Li meant, but there was still a look on his face that he didn't understand, and then found that Ding Li stopped talking, Huo Lang, who was a little stunned, hurriedly raised his eyes to Ding Li's smiling eyes, and asked a little impatiently: "Even if there is no money, with the attitude of the Jiedu Mansion towards General Ding, it should not be difficult to change me to a higher position!" ”

"Indeed, at least half a grade can be upgraded!" Ding Li still didn't hide it, nodded and responded calmly, and then sighed and began to sigh that it was not easy to take up the official position: "However, at most, it's only half a grade!" You should also know that our Datang's martial arts have been greatly restricted since Kaiyuan, especially when it comes to promotion, it is not as easy as imagined! Especially for a person like me who has soldiers and real power, any promotion, but it is necessary for the Jiedu Mansion to send someone back to Chang'an, Kyoto, to report to the imperial court! This is not 3,000 yuan, and the Jiedu Mansion can't make a decision! ”

"You also said that it is not easy to be promoted, but how can you easily let go of such a good opportunity? Isn't this what I just said, letting go of me and Huo Jialing is a loss-making business for you! Huo Lang finally understood where he didn't understand, anyway, it had already fallen into the hands of Ding Li, and Huo Lang had already prepared for the worst, so when he asked, he was also straight to the point, without dragging his feet at all.

"I'll tell you the truth, on the surface, it's exactly what you said!" Speaking of punctuality, Ding Li also regained his seriousness, and then changed his words, first looked back at the Southern Navy behind him, and then glanced at the woods behind Huo Lang, and then explained in a deep voice: "Zhao'an, you Huojialing, for me, it is true that there is no direct credit for your encirclement and suppression, and in terms of rewards, the Jiedu Mansion cannot be the master, and at most the bounty of three thousand yuan will be cashed!" But in the long run, if Huo Er's family can join our Southern Navy with many brothers on Huojialing, the actual benefits of the Southern Navy will definitely be the most! ”

"Why? Could it be that General Ding doesn't look down on the brother behind him? Huo Lang pursed his lips disdainfully, Ding Li's words made him feel like he was being fooled into joining the gang to do bad things, and Ding Li's words finally gave Huo Lang a chance to resist, so he opened his mouth without mercy.

"I can't look at it, I can't talk about it, I just don't want any of them to die for no apparent reason! That's not worth it! In the face of Huo Lang's ridicule of himself and the Southern Navy, Ding Li shook his head and responded lightly, which had already surprised Huo Lang, and he didn't know how to continue to fight against each other next, and continue to ridicule each other.

"You and the brothers behind you have seen blood, and this is definitely not comparable to the brothers behind me!" Ding Li saw that Huo Lang suddenly fell silent, and paused for a moment before continuing to explain: "The current situation in our Lingnan East Province is not good, many places in the east have been affected by the war brought by the rebel army, according to what I know from some people who fled here from the east, there are battles of different sizes almost every day, countless casualties, and human beings, the rebel army has slaughtered the city again and again, and even women, children, old and children refuse to let go!" ”

As he spoke, Ding Li paused again, his eyes were full of determination, and he stared at Huo Lang and asked in a deep voice, "Huo Lang! As a man, the country is in trouble, don't you want to do something for the country? How to say, you are also a Datang man, and you are also born and live in the land of Datang! You may not have any relatives around you, but you have thousands of Huojialing brothers! Even if you don't think about yourself, as the second in charge, you should always think more about your brothers behind you! I only know one thing, to be a horse thief for a lifetime, you will always be a horse thief in the end, even if your power can make the local Jiedu Mansion jealous, you are still a horse thief! ”

Ding Li's words can be regarded as talking about Huo Lang's heart, horse thieves, no matter how powerful they are, they are still horse thieves in the end, and it can be said that they can't get rid of the word thief for a lifetime, but for Huo Lang and Huo Jialing's group, they don't want to hear others call themselves horse thieves at all, at most they will admit that they are a group of green forest heroes who have no way out and fall into the grass, which is also why Huo Jialing doesn't go to do some burning, killing and looting casually, and even make them feel ashamed.

"You're right, but how can I believe all this?" The thoughtful Huo Lang finally nodded slightly after a long time, but he still had a trace of doubts about Ding Li's words, stared at Ding Li with a frown, and asked with a solemn face.

"Now that it's all like this, what other option do you have to choose not to believe everything I say?" Ding Li shrugged his shoulders indifferently, responded with a smile, then glanced back, then turned his head to look at Huo Lang and explained with a smile: "Just now my subordinates captured dozens of Huo Jialing's brothers, these people will go back with Huo Er's family later, even if our Southern Navy is the first to express its sincerity in this matter, as for whether Huo Er's family believes it or not, it all depends on Huo Er's own decision!" ”

After a pause, Ding Li, who groaned, raised his right fist and flipped it back and forth in front of Huo Lang, and then added with an unusually confident smile: "Ten days, give me ten days, and I will personally report this matter to Jiedu Mansion!" Ten days should be enough! ”

"You are so confident, I will definitely take my brothers to join the Southern Navy?" Looking at Ding Li's performance, Huo Lang frowned again and again, feeling that he was in a big pit at this time, and the person digging the pit was Ding Li in front of him, and he was dragged by Ding Li step by step into the current big pit from beginning to end.

The smile on Ding Li's face was indeed confident, after Huo Lang's greeting, Ding Li's eyes were full of smiles, and the smile on that resolute face seemed to be more diffuse, and quickly dispersed, so that Huo Lang in front of him was slightly affected: "This choice is relatively speaking, not only you and me, but also the brothers behind you get the most benefits, after all, to avoid a life-and-death fight, behind you and me, at least more than half of the people are lucky, because they don't have to die on the battlefield so early!" ”

"It's still the same sentence, horse thieves, always horse thieves, as long as there is a court, horse thieves will always be thieves!" Ding Li suddenly let out a sigh of emotion, raised his hand and patted Huo Lang on the shoulder, glanced at the other party deeply, and turned back to shout at Wang Ling, who was leading the troops: "Release all the brothers who caught Huo Jialing by mistake just now!" ”
