9 Gathering
The messenger from Qingfeng Mountain arrived a few days ago, asking the leaders of all places to gather at Qingfeng Mountain before the tenth day of the lunar month to elect a new head of the house, probably considering that some people are far away and have plenty of time. The messenger is a bit special, he is Hao Jingtian's henchman, and he has a flattering look when he sees Lin Jian'an.
After sending the messenger away, Lin Jian'an went straight to Mr. Han and Zhang Qi and Zhang Jiu, and did not say any other nonsense.
"Zongzhai has been scheduled to elect a big leader in Qingfeng Mountain on the tenth day of the lunar month, or the commander of the Shanzi Battalion. Mr. Han, Zhang Qi and Zhang Jiu, you will go with me in three days, and Zhang Yiyun will stay in Muzhai. Don't worry, you'll be fine with me. ”
Zhang Qi and Zhang Jiu have been living in Muzhai for a period of time, and the armor has long been gone, and there is no hostility, and there is not much confidence in his look. After all, Mr. Han has experienced storms, although he has no force, he is just a scholar, and he is not panicked, just nodded.
"There is more time, we don't take the path from Muzhai directly to Qingfeng Mountain, the road is not easy to walk, first turn to Huluguan, converge with Gaoliang, Zhuge de in the southwest and ride together, someone has a knife in his hand, no one is scared."
"Mr. Han, you have been in Zongzhai for many years, and there are always some subordinates, contact them when you arrive, so as not to be injured by mistake. Zhang Qi and Zhang Jiu are also contacting the old department of the big boss. ”
Zhang Qi and Zhang Jiu left to prepare, but Mr. Han didn't leave, not about the cottage, but about Jianyue, who seemed to have regarded himself as Lin Jian'an's person, and also knew the importance of the younger brother to Lin Jian'an.
"Jianyue is very smart and very studious, but his temperament seems to be a little weak, too kind, not very like you, it is naturally good in the prosperous world, but not now. Brother Jian'an, don't spoil him too much, let him suffer a little, otherwise once he leaves your wings, I'm afraid something will be bad. ”
Lin Jian'an was silent for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking, and finally said: "Thank you Mr. Han for your kindness, I will try my best to take care of him, and I also know what to do in the future." ”
Lin Jian'an, Mr. Han, Dafu, Zhu Jianheng Hualin and a group of more than 20 people arrived at Hulu Pass all the way without incident, and gathered the bright people, and they had to wait for Zhuge De to arrive before leaving.
It has begun to snow in Yongling, and it is snow-white when it is closed, and it looks very clean, and all kinds of dirt under the snow can no longer be seen.
Lin Jian'an took Mr. Han and Gao Liang to talk at the Guanding City Wall.
Gao Liang is the tallest of the three, his appearance is very powerful, he is holding a fine iron spear, his eyes are shining, his waist is bulging, and he is obviously carrying other blades, and his force value is higher than Lin Jian'an. Lin Jian'an looked at Gao Liang and said:
"Brother Liang, we will soon be the Shanzi Battalion, no longer pure bandits, some of the previous business can no longer be done like before, burning, killing and looting, there is no future if you do it again, of course, it is not that you don't do it, you have to continue to do it before there is no bigger territory, but you have to change the way and change the goal, there are still a lot of big dogs in the South and Central Plains, don't mess around with the local and Han mansions, otherwise we won't be able to survive in the first place."
Lin Jian'an turned his head to look at the east and continued: "I have reconciled with the Tie Da Boss of Nanyang Mansion, the Tie Gang we killed is only his distant relative, not a very important person, the Tie Da Boss is a tyrant, and interests come first." What does Nanyang need most? Grain cloth. What do we need most? Weapon armor. I negotiated with the Tie Da Chief, and we joined Zhuge to transfer grain and cloth from Shuzhong to Nanyang to change weapons and armor, and at the same time, the Tie Da Boss promised to provide us with the road and news to the Southern Central Plains. And don't expect much support from the Han government, it's up to us in the end. ”
Mr. Han nodded beside him, Lin Jian'an held his arm high, and said with a serious expression: "Brother Liang, you can no longer take your brothers like before, just like Mr. Han said, although there are many of us, we are a plate of loose sand, free and casual, many times there are no rules, even if the rules are set, the implementation is very poor, it is profitable to rush up, the situation is not good, and the combat effectiveness has been discounted several times." In the past, everyone had the same identity, they were all fucking bandits, no one was more noble than anyone, it was difficult to control, do you remember that time when Nanyang killed Tiequan? It's just that one of your brothers doesn't listen to the call, kills people if he wants to kill, and prostitutes when he wants to, and doesn't follow the provisions of my plan, and makes a move without authorization, and almost breaks a big deal. In the future, we will be an army, and we will implement military law, and we will also have a distinction between superior and inferior. I know that this is very difficult, there will be many brothers who will be centrifugal, but if you don't do this, you can't do it, no one can look down on us, you won't be able to develop and grow, you will always be a bandit, you won't be able to get greater wealth, and you won't be able to become a master. ”
Mr. Han was a little excited when he heard this, and he was eager to say something, Gao Liang touched his head and said with a smile: "Brother Jian'an, you know that I listen to you the most, you can do whatever you say, I used to do things when I came out to do things, and someone always bullied me honestly, only you helped me, and then Zhuge helped me, without you, there would be no me today, you can do whatever I want, let me kill whoever you want!" ”
Looking at Gao Liang's fierce appearance and listening to the brainless words, Lin Jian'an was speechless for a while, and could only pat Gao Liang's arm. At this time, a black line appeared in the distance of the vast white land outside the gate, Lin Bao was here to pick up people, and the time should have come. Lin Jian'an said with a smile: "Zhuge has arrived, Brother Liang and I will go out to greet him, Mr. Han is weak, so don't go, go back to rest first, and drink together at night." ”
Mr. Han was held back before he could say anything, and now he doesn't want to say it, and he is very depressed.
Lin Jian'an stood under the gourd pass and said to Zhuge De, who came from afar: "Let the brothers rest in the first pass, food and accommodation have been arranged, let's go around the neighborhood, we have something to say." Zhuge De waved his hand back, and followed Lin Jian'an Gao Liang to a forest next to him, Lin Jian'an didn't speak, and Gao Liang Zhuge and the two behind him didn't ask.
Zhuge De is not tall and has a delicate face, he is like a little brother among the three, but he is also the most powerful and has the most subordinates. Originally the child of a large family in the Han Mansion near Shuzhong, the family and another local tyrant fought for a small copper mine when the failure was destroyed, fortunately he was not killed when he was traveling abroad, and he defected to his uncle who was arranged by the family to be a bandit in Qingfeng Mountain, his uncle was already the leader of the jump in the southwest of Qingfeng Mountain, and when he got the news, he took people down the mountain to seek revenge, but he was betrayed by a traitor and died. Zhuge De had been mixed in Qingfeng Mountain for some time at that time, usually heroic and righteous, has a very good foundation, after the death of his uncle, he took over the mantle and continued to be a bandit, and later met Lin Jian'an, with similar temperament and similar experience, became brothers of the opposite sex, Lin Jian'an led people to assist Zhuge De to take revenge and snatch back the copper mine. Since then, the two have been mixed together, whether they are embarrassed or angry, in short, they have become more and more prosperous. Because Zhuge De has a wider network in the local area, and there is a small copper mine that the government does not look down on, he is the strongest.
Among the three, Lin Jian'an is still respected, without it, Lin Jian'an is the smartest, not a little smart, but a great wisdom, always making the impossible possible, always thinking of things that the other two can't think of, and being kind to the two of them, I have to obey.
