Sure enough, since Feng Delin went to Qingfeng Village, the whole cottage has shown a thriving scene.

His greatest characteristic is that he is good at managing money. Money is blood, as long as you have money, if you want to recruit troops, it is very easy. In these years, there are many people who can't eat. As long as the salary can be paid in a timely manner on a monthly basis, there are many people who come to sign up.

Under Feng Delin's painstaking management, in less than a year, he led the brothers in the cottage to make a few beautiful transactions, making a lot of money, and Qingfeng Village also expanded from a few hundred people to more than a thousand.

On this day, Du Qingfeng, the owner of Dazhai, held a meeting for everyone, only to see him said with a spring breeze on his face: "Brothers, how about it, I will say that Engong is a rare talent, you see, since Engong went up the mountain, conscientious, hard-working, and doubled our scale of operation." ”

"As the owner of the village said." The crowd said.

"Master Dazhai, you have won the award, mainly because of your good leadership and the joint efforts of the brothers, which has achieved a little achievement," Feng Delin said humbly, "Why do you care about these?" ”

"Brothers, have you heard, Engong is not only talented, but also very modest, obviously it is his achievements, but he pushed it to me and everyone," Du Qingfeng said with a smile, "Recently, according to the information we have, there will be a small group of Mongolian bandits passing through our jurisdiction, these people are our old opponents, the leader is still the dragon of the earth, last time they took advantage of it, I was seriously injured because of it, if it wasn't for Engong to save me, I would have died for a long time, so-called, there is no revenge and not revenge, Since they have come to the door on their own, I have decided to lead a detachment of men and horses to ambush them, and if it goes well, I will be able to annihilate them in one fell swoop. ”

"Lord Dazhai, I object," Feng Delin immediately said, "These Mongolian bandits are basically composed of nomadic Mongolians and other ethnic minorities on the steppe, they are used to living in the Mongolian steppe, good at riding and shooting, brave and good at fighting. In recent years, in order to implement the 'New Deal', the Qing government has set off a large number of reclaimed immigrants in Mongolia, and for this reason, the local feudal rulers colluded with the Mongolian princes and nobles and the Han landlords and warlords to buy and sell flag land in a large area, recruiting a large number of immigrants, making it impossible for the local Mongolian herdsmen to live. In this case, Bai Ying Dacheng of the Suuk Banner of the Zhuosuotu League of Inner Mongolia and Tao Ke Taohu of the former Banner of Gollus of the Zhelimu League successively raised the banner of defending their pastures and land, and these two people are outstanding figures, and the famous giant who is called the 'Mongolian horse thief' is really not easy to mess with. ”

"Engong, you are too worried, you are growing the ambition of others and destroying the prestige of our own family," Du Qingfeng said, "They only came here this time with a small group of bandits, not from the nest, how can we spit out this fat meat in our mouths?" ”

"These bandits have always been cunning, last time you were ambushed by them, and almost lost your life, this time, we must not fall for them again." Von der Lin said.

"Engong, you can rest assured," Du Qingfeng thought for a while, "Otherwise, for the sake of insurance, I will lead two hundred brothers as the forward, and you will lead the team of men and horses to join in the rear, just in case." ”

"No, no, no," Feng Delin hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I am still the striker, and you can lead the team to supervise the rear." ”

"Engong, are you still arguing with me about this?" Du Qingfeng said firmly, "Don't worry, it's foolproof, it's decided." ”

So, early the next morning, Du Qingfeng set off first with two hundred brothers, and Feng Delin led a large group of men and horses to keep a distance and follow behind.

However, what I didn't expect was that this small group of bandits was just a trick to lure the enemy, and the people had already laid an ambush, Du Qingfeng was eager for revenge, and rushed into the enemy formation first, but he was ambushed by others.

By the time Feng Delin arrived with his men and horses, the 200 or so people in the vanguard had almost been wiped out, and Du Qingfeng was shot several times and was also seriously injured.

Everyone hurriedly rescued Du Qingfeng back to the cottage.

That night, Du Qingfeng was too seriously injured and lost too much blood, and he couldn't do it, when he was dying, he lay on the bed, took Feng Delin's hand and said: "Engong, I regret not listening to your kind words and persuasions, so that there is today's defeat, I am not sorry to die, but I am sorry for my dead brothers." ”

"Lord of the village, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, don't blame yourself too much, take care of your body." Von Delin persuaded.

"I can't do it anymore," Du Qingfeng said, "Listen, everyone, after I die, the cottage will be entrusted to Engong, who is the master of the cottage." Whoever dares not to listen, will follow the rules in the cottage. ”

"Yes! Only the order of the lord of the village is obeyed. The crowd agreed.

"Master Dazhai, you have to cheer up, you haven't experienced any winds and waves, you are a bronze King Kong, an iron Arhat, this injury is nothing to you." Von der Lin said.

"Engong, don't comfort me, my own body I know, this time I can't survive no matter what, I am fortunate to be able to meet you, and work together, it is a great pleasure in my life, but I have not yet built my merits, and I am going to be separated from you and the brothers," Du Qingfeng took a lot of effort, and finally said, "I have enjoyed all the blessings, I have experienced everything, and I have nothing to regret, but I can't rest assured of these brothers." ”

"Please take care of your health." Everyone said.

"Zhao Wenyuan!" Du Qingfeng exerted a lot of effort and shouted.

"Here, Dazhai Master!" At this time, Zhao Wenyuan walked over from the side and knelt in front of Du Qingfeng's bed.

"I know that you are strong and loyal, after I die, Engong will be your master, you must protect him for me, no matter what the circumstances, you must be dedicated to him, do you hear?" Du Qingfeng said.

"I heard it, Lord Dazhai, please rest assured, no matter when, I will definitely keep in mind the words of Lord Dazhai and protect him." Zhao Wenyuan also cried.

"Okay, with your words, then I'm relieved." After Du Qingfeng finished speaking, he tilted his head and died of despair.

Since then, Qingfeng Village is owned by Feng Delin, under his painstaking management, in just a few years, Qingfeng Village has expanded from a cottage with only a few hundred brothers to three or four thousand people, becoming one of the best in the local area, even if it is the government, it does not dare to do anything to him easily.

Feng Delin has also grown from a non-first-ranking talent and a scholar to a generation of heroes who are decisive, calculating, silent, and dominating one side.
