Chapter 145: Sympathy
"General Chen, Hu Junshi, Brother Liu, let me introduce you to the leaders of our cottage, this is Brother Ge Shun, this is Brother Chen Gang, this is Jiang Junshi......"
In the Juyi Hall, the guests and hosts of the two sides sat down, and Ye Ying, as the host, enthusiastically introduced the leaders of the cottage to Chen Zhi and the three of them, but when he was about to introduce Zhuge Ying, he was interrupted by Hu Huaizhi, the military advisor of the Songzhou battalion.
"You, you are ......" Because the image has changed too much, Hu Huaizhi didn't recognize Zhuge Ying when he saw it before, but after careful viewing at this time, he immediately recognized this famous figure in Daning back then.
I didn't expect to be able to see the idol in my heart in this small bandit cottage, I thought that after so many years, Zhuge Ying had already passed away, but I didn't expect him to be still in the world, still hiding in this bandit cottage.
Hu Huaizhi still remembers that he was just a showman back then, and when he saw the descendants of Zhuge standing at the head of Dongliang City, his heart was boiling, and he was determined to take this person as an idol to help the people of Daning get rid of the dire life.
But it didn't take long for the news that Zhuge Ying committed suicide because the city was broken and was taken away by the Northern Barbarians, and Hu Huaizhi was uncomfortable for a long time.
"Strategist, what's wrong with you?" Looking at Hu Huaizhi's crazy expression, Chen Zhi watched from the sidelines and cared.
"Mr. Zhuge , Mr. Zhuge who repelled the Northern Barbarian army many times in Dongliang City back then is still alive, and he is still alive......" The excited Hu Huaizhi was a little incoherent.
Do you mean that with more than 20,000 people, Mr. Zhuge who blocked the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Northern Barbarians outside Dongliang City? Chen Zhi understood what Hu Huaizhi meant, and looked at Zhuge Ying with white hair in surprise.
Hearing Chen Zhi's words, Liu Chuan on the side was also stunned, Zhuge Ying's deeds had already spread throughout Daning, and in Daning's think tank, Zhuge Ying was an extraordinary existence.
"Zhuge Ying has died in Beiban back then, and now he is just a mountain villager." Zhuge Ying has looked down on everything for so many years, and the excited expressions of Chen Zhi and the others did not stir up waves in his heart at all.
"It seems that Liu Chuan lost this battle unjustly, and there are people like Mr. Zhuge in the Flying Eagle Club, no wonder in such a short period of time, this bandit cottage has become famous. But Mr. Zhuge stooped to be a subordinate, which is very inconsistent with your prestige! Hearing Zhuge Ying's identity, Chen Zhi didn't dare to procrastinate, he walked in front of Zhuge Ying and gave a deep salute.
From Chen Zhi's words, many people present could understand that Chen Zhi was unwilling to let go of a talent like Zhuge Ying.
"General Chen praised falsely, as a strategist, only when he meets a lord who appreciates him, can he have the opportunity to show his strengths, otherwise he will have an empty stomach and a full stomach, and he will only turn into dust in the end." Zhuge Ying said lightly, and in just a few words, his intentions were clearly revealed.
"A square inch of land is not a place to display, a vast world, in order to show your strengths." Chen Zhi was still unwilling.
Listening to Chen Zhi's words, Zhuge Ying, who was originally sitting, suddenly stood up, raised his head and started a burst of laughter, causing everyone present to look at him with doubts.
"It's a vast world, wasn't Dongliang City vast enough back then? The traitor is an important minister of the court, the emperor listens to and believes partially, and would rather bury the good country for his own selfish interests, I have sworn that I will never be with this generation in my lifetime. The more Zhuge Ying spoke, the more excited he became, so much so that his hair trembled.
"This time is not that time, Mr. Zhuge ......" Although Chen Zhi had never seen Zhuge Ying, but he had heard of his deeds, he really didn't want to let go of such a talent, and wanted to persuade him again, but was interrupted by a voice.
"The general is a friend of the old man, and he wants to dig the foot of the wall as soon as he comes, which is a little too unrighteous." It was Ye Ying, who had been standing next to him, who spoke.
At this time, Chen Zhicai reacted, he was attracted by a talent like Zhuge Ying, and he forgot where he was for a while, and in front of Ye Ying, he actually wanted to poach his strategist, and he felt a little embarrassed.
"Brother Ye, don't blame, Chen's meaning, Brother Ye is also a rare general, rich in a capable person like Mr. Zhuge , it is too condescending to live in a small cottage, it is better for you to go down the mountain with Chen at the same time, you will definitely be able to have a good future." Chen Zhi arched his hand towards Ye Ying and said.
"Hahaha, I thought General Chen was going up the mountain to catch up, but I didn't expect Zhao'an to come, so tell me, if I lead my subordinates down the mountain, what official position can I seal?" Ye Ying looked at Chen Zhi, then at Hu Huaizhi and Liu Chuan next to Chen Zhi, and said with a smile.
"This ...... With the talents of the little brother and Mr. Zhuge , at least it should be above Chen! Chen Zhi didn't expect Ye Ying to ask so directly, and hesitated for a while before answering.
"Actually, it's not difficult to recruit my Flying Eagle Club, I only need the imperial court to promise me two conditions." Ye Ying deliberately said lightly, and immediately gave Chen Zhi hope that he could take this bandit without blood, and he could get talents like Ye Ying and Zhuge Ying, which was really what he wanted.
"Brother Ye, please speak, Chen must run up and down, so that the court can agree to the conditions of the little brother." Chen Zhi, who was happy, immediately patted his chest and said.
"Clear up the grievances for Ye Shuai for the Fierce Eagle Army, and eradicate the Sima family." Ye Ying glanced at Chen Zhi and said lightly.
"I'm ......" Hearing Ye Ying's words, Chen Zhigang wanted to open his mouth to say something, but suddenly stopped, because of Ye Ying's two conditions, the imperial court would not agree to it no matter what.
At this time, the faces of the people of the Flying Eagle Guild also showed a relaxed expression, they were really a little worried that Chen Zhi would agree to Ye Ying's conditions, so that the Flying Eagle would be recruited.
"Little brother, you better change the conditions, even if there are a few more." After thinking about it, Chen Zhi said to Ye Ying again.
"These two conditions are indispensable!" Ye Ying said very resolutely.
The scene fell into embarrassment, Chen Zhi sighed secretly, when he came, he thought that it was unlikely that this matter would succeed, and now he realized that there was no possibility at all.
"Don't talk about that, General Chen, Hu Junshi, and Brother Liu are old friends of Ye, since I have gone up the mountain, of course Ye Ying has to be warmly entertained, I have asked people to prepare wine and food, let's only talk about love and righteousness today, not about political affairs." Seeing that everyone was staying there, Ye Ying suddenly said with a smile.
"Thank you, brother, I like Brother Ye's words, now we just eat meat and drink, and we don't give in on the battlefield, just see whose means are smart." Liu Chuan was a straight person, and Ye Ying's words were deeply in line with his heart, and he immediately echoed loudly.
While talking, some bandits brought food, the conditions on the mountain were difficult, there was no delicious food, but a few bowls of wine were eaten, and the atmosphere in the field immediately eased a lot. Chen Zhi and the leaders of the cottage were like friends who had known each other for many years, and they began to push the cups and change the lamps, and they also began to chat in the sky.
No one seemed to notice that today's two protagonists, Chen Zhi and Ye Ying, quietly left everyone's sight at this time, and the two walked out of the justice hall together and sat down at the stone table under a tree.
Gan Xiang is an empathetic woman, and when she saw her father-in-law and Chen Zhi walking out of the Juyi Hall alone, she knew that they must have something to talk about, so she silently sent a pot of tea to the two, and then avoided it from afar.
"Back then, I guessed that the little brother and the Fierce Eagle Ye Shuai must have a very close relationship, and they want to clear their minds for the Eagle Heroes, which Chen can understand, but why does the little brother hate the Sima family so much?" Chen Zhi sat at the stone table, took a sip of tea and said.
"Actually, it's not that I'm holding on to the Sima family, it's that the boss is a Sima family, and he can't tolerate me as a nameless boy." Ye Ying sighed, and briefly recounted the grievances and grievances between him and Sima Mingyu.
As far as Ye Ying is concerned, he has now become a bandit, and he doesn't care about the revenge of the Sima family, so there is no need to keep these things secret.
"I also heard that the proud son of heaven carefully cultivated by the Sima family was actually killed by a recruit in the Wild Lion Army, it turned out that this person was actually Brother Ye, Chen Zhi had to admire, the little brother's skill and courage." Seeing that Ye Ying had actually experienced so many things, Chen Zhi couldn't help but feel very emotional.
"Ye's volunteer since childhood is to join the army to kill the enemy and make contributions to the country, I didn't expect that a team like the Mad Lion Army is such a fly camp dog, what hope does this Ming army have?" The period in the Wild Lion Army was the darkest period for Ye Ying, and he was very touched every time he thought of this experience.
"The six major families of Daning have now become a cancer of the imperial court, they control the imperial court, occupy the vast majority of important positions in the court, and many people with lofty ideals have empty ambitions, but they have no way to serve the country." Ye Ying's words obviously also helped Chen Zhi, who was also a victim of the dictatorship of the family forces.
"So it's still a joy to laugh at the mountains and forests, eat meat and drink wine in a big bowl, and we don't hesitate to act when we see injustices, don't have to scruple left and right, this is the life that suits me Ye Ying." Why don't General Chen come to Fuhu Mountain and be the master of my cottage, we can drink and talk all day long, wouldn't it be happy? Ye Ying said with a smile.
Listening to Ye Ying's words, Chen Zhi couldn't help but be stunned, and after a long silence, he reacted and smiled: "Little brother is really eloquent, I originally came to persuade you to go down the mountain to accept Zhao'an, but I didn't expect that I would be persuaded by you to go up the mountain and fall into the grass to become a bandit." My Chen family has been loyal to Daning for generations, and if Chen really goes up the mountain, the ancestors may come out of the grave to hunt me down. ”
"Hahaha, it seems that General Chen and I are destined not to fight side by side, let's still drink bars, there is wine today and drunk tomorrow, tomorrow will be sad, and other things will be talked about when the wine wakes up." Ye Ying obviously didn't want to discuss this topic anymore, so he beckoned a bandit to bring two jars of wine and handed one of them to Chen Zhi.
In the woods on both sides of the mountain road down Fuhu Mountain, there were nearly two hundred bandits hiding at this time, among which there were some good players, including Gui Sanniang, You Tong, Zhu Tong, Du Kuian and Zhang Gui and other leaders of the martial arts realm.
These people hide here for only one purpose, that is, to intercept and kill Chen Zhi, the general of Ningyuan, who came to Fuhu Mountain.
"Brother Du, you said that we didn't follow the orders of the big boss, and intercepted and killed Chen Zhi and his party like this, will it attract the wrath of the big boss?" You Tong looked at the mountain road in the distance and said with some hesitation.
You Tong has been a bandit for so many years, and he has been very ruthless, and he has also killed a lot of people over the years, and he has killed several court officials, and he has no psychological burden.
But this trip did not magnify the order of the master Ye Ying, You Tong's heart was still uneasy, this young master did not have any shelf on weekdays, but he was also ruthless to those who violated the rules of the village, You Tong was in awe of this young man from the bottom of his heart.
In fact, many people present were as worried as You Tong, not only wanting to kill Chen Zhi and a few people to relieve the danger of being trapped in the cottage, but also worried about the anger of the big boss Ye Ying.
Under this mentality, many people quietly looked at the mountain road ahead, hoping that Chen Zhi and the others would appear, and faintly hoping that they would never go down the mountain.
