Chapter 552: I Wish to Be for the Mountains and the Sea
Gao Zhongping talked eloquently, starting from the source of the Bounty Hunters Association.
The Bounty Hunters Guild has been around for more than 100 years.
At the beginning, it was just a group of hunters who couldn't get along and prepared to set up a leather bag association, which was not on the table.
However, after several generations of development, the Bounty Hunters Association gradually gained scale, and a large number of itinerant hunters who were unwilling to serve the official forces joined the association, resulting in the rapid growth of the association, and there were some quite powerful hunters under its umbrella.
Hunters are rated by ability and contribution points, up to five stars or more......
At this point, there are three major factions within the Bounty Hunters Association.
Most of these people are born in the Union territories and are naturally close to the Federation, so they have been engaged in business with the Federation for many years.
On the other hand, the people of this group are more inclined to the Northern Steel Alliance, because many of them are natives who grew up on the boundaries of the Northern Steel Alliance.
As for the third faction, it is a neutral faction, and these people have no special sense of identity, and they join the Bounty Hunters Association just to make a living.
In times of peace, these three groups of people can work together and do things together??????????????? Get rich together.
But when it came time for the Northern Iron Alliance and the Federation to go to war on a large scale, the association, whose business spanned the two empires, was naturally divided.
Will you side with the Federation or the Northern Steel Alliance?
This is a multiple-choice question.
It's time to stand in line!
This inclusive association fell apart in an instant.
……
Let's talk about Xu Yingnan's house.
The Xu family is from the territory of the Northern Iron and Steel Alliance.
Before the Xu family joined the Bounty Hunters Association, it was just a small family in Shan County, and it didn't have much sense of existence.
The development of the Xu family is inseparable from the Bounty Hunters Association.
After several generations of painstaking management in the Bounty Hunters Association, the Xu family gradually became the backbone of the association.
When Xu Yingnan's grandfather and father's generation arrived, their power reached their peak, and Xu Yingnan's father, Xu Qiunian, won the position of vice president of an association.
If it continues according to the normal situation, Xu Yingnan will inherit her father's business and become an excellent bounty hunter, and inherit the Xu family's status in the association after mixing up enough qualifications......
But unfortunately, war broke out!
In this war in which they had to stand in line, the Xu family chose to stand in the Northern Iron and Steel Alliance after weighing it several times.
And then......
The Northern Steel Alliance was defeated by a butterfly incident.
The Xu family, who had bet on the chips, lost a lot and lost the family business accumulated for generations.
As a last resort, Xu Yingnan's father, Xu Qiunian, came up with a plan to marry his daughter.
The Huang family in Shan Zhou is a veteran family, and it is deeply rooted in Shan Zhou, where the Xu family started.
Marrying Xu Yingnan to the Huang family can be exchanged for the stability of the entire family, and it can also be a strong backer, which is also what Xu Qiunian thinks.
Sacrificing the happiness of one person seeks the happiness of future generations.
As long as Xu Yingnan marries into the Huang family, then the entire Xu family will have the capital to gain a foothold in Aozhou.
So, at what cost?
The price is Xu Yingnan himself.
After hearing this, Song Ziyu's whole person was not good.
What kind of bullshit family would make the women of their family a tool for glory and wealth?
Song Ziyu paced back and forth in the room, and finally looked at Gao Zhongping and said, "No, I'm going to take a trip to Fenzhou!" ”
"What do you want?"
Gao Zhongping had an expectant look on his face.
Song Ziyu said categorically: "I want to ask Xu Yingnan in person, if this marriage is what she wants, I will definitely follow her wishes, but if she is unwilling, ......"
Speaking of this, Song Ziyu's expression became colder.
"If she doesn't want to, I'll take her away." Song Ziyu said.
"Then you have to be mentally prepared, you will be the enemy of many people." Gao Zhongping said.
"No one can stop me in this matter!"
Song Ziyu said without hesitation: "Whoever dares to stop me, I will make whoever pays." ”
Gao Zhongping clapped his hands and said: "Boy, I like your character, but I must tell you that the Huang family was born in Aozhou, and its influence is all over the surrounding five counties, and there are two division commanders in the regular army within the alliance sequence from the Huang family, and there are a large number of middle and lower-level officers below to serve the Huang family. ”
Song Ziyu heard this: "There are always more ways than difficulties, ??????????????? first Go see the situation and see you again. ”
"And how many people are you going to take with you?" Gao Zhongping asked.
Song Ziyu thought for a while and said: "There shouldn't be many people for this kind of thing, I'm going to bring dozens of capable players." ”
This is a long way to go to Bianzhou, passing through the spheres of influence of several lords and overseers, and it is unrealistic for Song Ziyu to lead the army to fight over.
Gao Zhongping nodded and said, "The idea is correct...... I'm going with you, and maybe I can give you a hand. ”
……
Since he had this idea, Song Ziyu immediately summoned the main management personnel of Longshan for a meeting.
What I want to do this time is very confidential and should not be known to outsiders, so on the surface, Song Ziyu said that he was just going to Aozhou to attend Xu Yingnan's wedding.
Based on the purpose of this trip, Song Ziyu carried out a series of personnel transfers.
First of all, Song Ziyu ordered Gongsun Wan'er, Chen Youping, Gao Zhongping, Bai Xun, Bai Shaoqing, Su Zhen, Zhang Dahu, Ma Xiaolong and other important members to set up a committee.
In order to ensure the fairness and balance of power to the greatest extent, Song Ziyu even added the generals Zuo Zhen, Yu Ke and Zhang Song, the representative of the slave army, to this list.
In his absence, Yongsan was co-managed by a committee of more than a dozen members on the list.
Of course, in the special construction of internal affairs, agriculture, municipal construction, and other special projects, Song Ziyu still gave the privilege of the special person in charge, and unless two-thirds of the people on the committee voted to agree, no one else was allowed to interfere in the special construction.
】
The purpose of this is to ensure that the construction of Longshan can not be affected by internal friction to the greatest extent.
After arranging the management matters, Song Ziyu took Tang Jian, Chen Tianxing, Gongsun Wan'er, Gao Zhongping and dozens of elites with awakening ability to embark on a journey to Aozhou.
Along the way, it is unimpeded to reach the boundary river defense line.
Here, after completing supplies and vehicle overhauls, the team passed through the Boundary River.
Next, drive straight to Sweetwater.
The second time he came to Sweetwater Town, Song Ziyu found that it had changed a lot.
Although the town of Sweetwater in memory is a mess of planning, it has a large population and is full of the vibrant atmosphere of a wasteland town.
But this time, Sweetwater has become much more depressed, and both the population and the vitality of the town seem to have withered.
"The war has hollowed out the potential of this city." Gao Zhongping's words hit the nail on the head.
"Although Gongsun Congyun seems to be quite strategic, he is very happy in his bones, which is completely inferior to his father Gongsun Shuren."
"Sweetwater Town has declined to this point, and Gongsun Congyun bears the primary responsibility."
"In order to develop Sweetwater Town, Gongsun Shuren devoted himself to infrastructure construction, and he also studied power engineering and was well versed in the strategy of Taoguang and obscurity."
"When I came to Gongsun Congyun, although he could play tricks, he was ambitious and talented, and the decline of the Gongsun family was doomed."
When Gao Zhongping said this, he couldn't help but look at Gongsun Wan'er.
Gao Zhongping, who has always had a poisonous tongue, said: "But it would be wrong to say that the Gongsun family has no talents, but it's a pity that they don't know how to use people." ”
Hearing this, Gongsun Wan'er blushed: "Elder Gao, are you praising me or cursing me!" ”
"Of course I'm complimenting you!" Gao Zhongping said with a smile: "Your ability is obvious to all, if you have any shortcomings, it can only be that you were born bad." ”
These words made Gongsun Wan'er angry and annoyed, but she was helpless.
Seeing Gongsun Wan'er being suffocated.
Song Ziyu said to Gongsun Wan'er??????????????? Said: "It's rare for you to go back to Sweetwater once, go home and meet your parents and relatives...... Although time is of the essence on the road, we are waiting for you. ”
Gongsun Wan'er was very moved when she heard this.
"Thank you, Childe, I'll go back quickly."
After Gongsun Wan'er finished speaking, she took down the big bags of things from the locomotive, and wanted to go to the place where her family lived with difficulty.
Looking at Gongsun Wan'er's thin figure, Song Ziyu was a little reluctant, so he specially arranged for an entourage of a locomotive to accompany Gongsun Wan'er.
Gongsun Wan'er cast a grateful look at Song Ziyu.
This makes it difficult for Song Ziyu to understand, why is this girl so emotional about herself?
What is she grateful for?
Isn't it just a matter of raising your hands, I really don't understand.
……
This time, Song Ziyu was in Sweetwater Town, not only to let Gongsun Wan'er visit relatives, but also to have a lot of things to do.
For example, now, Gao Zhongping needs to do something.
Song Ziyu asked a few of his subordinates to accompany Gao Zhongping into the city, and he had to say goodbye.
This man was Du Shan, a Federation pilot who had followed him all the way from the city-state of Milo to Yongsan.
He had promised Du Shan that he would help him realize the opportunity to return to the Federation if he had the conditions, and now it was time to fulfill his promise.
Song Ziyu took out a locomotive and handed it to Du Shan and said: "Old man Du, the two of us are people who have been in prison together, and it can be regarded as a fateful friendship, I will send you this car, and the car is equipped with enough fuel to drive 2,000 kilometers and enough food for you to live for a month...... Head southeast along Sweetwater, past the Confederate territory, and you'll reach the Federation. ”
Du Shan sighed with emotion when he heard this: "I didn't expect that Lao Tzu would have the opportunity to return to his homeland in his lifetime, thank you so much." ”
Song Ziyu said a little embarrassed: "Because the next trip is not going well, otherwise I will still send you an extra paragraph." If you're worried about your safety, consider following the Sweetwater merchant group. ”
"Okay, I see!" Du Shan waved his hand and said: "If you have the opportunity to come to the Federation in the future, you can go to the West Military Mansion of the Federation to find me, and when the time comes, I will be the east, please appreciate the style of the Federation." ”
(Happy New Year, everyone, it will start to explode after the New Year!) )
