After Lao Jiu finished saying the words in his heart, as if he was in his heart, the whole person was relieved, he took a few deep breaths, and then stared at the leading brother with a calm face, hoping that after listening to his opinion, the eldest brother could be touched, and then make the wisest decision.

The other strong men, because they had misunderstood Lao Jiu just now, they all felt very guilty in their hearts, but because the eldest brother who took the lead had not yet expressed his acceptance of Lao Jiu's opinion, they did not dare to act without authorization, and walked over to express their gratitude to Lao Jiu.

It is precisely because of this concern in their hearts that they have been tormenting them, so after Lao Jiu finished speaking, they also set their sights on the eldest brother who took the lead, and they hoped that the eldest brother would not make a fool of himself for the sake of his own face at this critical moment and do things that hurt everyone's interests.

Under the gaze of everyone, the eldest brother in the lead felt unprecedented pressure, and he knew very well that there were only two ways in front of him at the moment, one was to gladly accept Lao Jiu's opinion, and modify his plan according to his ideas, which could not only appease Lao Jiu's emotions, but also block the mouths of the other brothers.

Although this choice is foolproof and will definitely not cause dissatisfaction among the brothers, it will make the leading brother lose face, so that it is likely that he will not be able to raise his head in front of the brothers in the future, and it is precisely because of this shortcoming that the leading brother directly vetoed this road.

The second way in front of the leading brother is to be stubborn, no matter how reasonable what Lao Jiu said just now, he will not admit it, and even directly order his brothers to beat Lao Jiu violently, and treat him with a crime of bewitching the public and disturbing the morale of the army.

Although this is a bit unkind, it can allow the leading brother to maintain his position firmly and not lose face in front of his brothers.

Originally, the eldest brother who took the lead had already denied the first way, so he could only choose the second way, but after thinking about it, he felt that this second path was really inappropriate, in case he was too much in dealing with Lao Jiu, so that he committed public anger, he didn't have to wait for Zhou Ming to come over and ask for his life, and the brothers under his command would send him to the Western Elysium.

After realizing such a danger, the eldest brother who took the lead gasped, and he secretly said in his heart, when did these brothers under me become so difficult to lead? You must know that before this, I was in front of them, I was simply a non-existent existence, but now it's good, no matter what I say in front of them, they always have to question and make irresponsible remarks about their own ideas, if this situation is maintained, my position as the leading brother will be taken away by them sooner or later.

After thinking about it for a long time, the leading brother still couldn't think of a way to get the best of both worlds, he raised his eyes and looked at the brothers in front of him, and the strong men looked at their eyes, they were all a little impatient, especially Lao Jiu, in his gaze, the leading brother saw disappointment and anger.

The eldest brother in charge knew that this tense state at present must not last, and he must quickly come up with a countermeasure before his brothers lose patience with him, otherwise once Lao Jiu expresses his dissatisfaction to himself in front of his brothers, it is likely to shake the military spirit of his brothers.

As the tension in his heart intensified, the cold sweat on the face of the leading brother became more and more, in order to make the strong men unable to see through his thoughts, his eyes moved back and forth in the private room, he hoped to use this way to confuse Lao Jiu and his brothers.

Just when he was at a loss and desperate, his eyes suddenly glanced at the door, and then his eyes lit up, and he immediately thought of a good idea, since compromise is not good for himself, maintaining a tough attitude is also not good for himself, then he might as well choose a compromise method, so that not only the disadvantages of the two choices will be avoided, but also the benefits of the two choices can be concentrated in one method.

After coming up with this good idea, the expression of the leading brother immediately changed, although he tried to put on a leisurely appearance before, but as long as the discerning person saw it, he knew that he was pretending to be garlic, but at this moment, his mood relaxed, and the expression on his face suddenly became natural.

Just when Lao Jiu and his gang of strong men were about to lose patience with him, he suddenly put on a righteous and awe-inspiring posture seriously, then looked at Lao Jiu, and said unhurriedly: "Lao Jiu, I am so grateful to you, you can withstand the pressure at a critical moment and tell me what you think, which proves that you have my big brother in your heart, and you really moved me by doing this." ”

Lao Jiu had been worried, he was afraid that the eldest brother who took the lead would not be able to hold his face after listening to his words questioning him, and then in a fit of anger, not only did he not listen to his own opinions, but instead took tough measures against himself, in this way, he would not only live up to his sincerity, but also put his brothers in danger.

As the so-called fear of something, when he said his thoughts, the eldest brother who took the lead not only did not immediately say that he wanted to adopt his own opinion, but kept silent and kept silent, in the process, his expression changed very richly, as if he was fighting fiercely in his heart.

Seeing the performance of the eldest brother in the lead, Lao Jiu thought to himself, it's over, it seems that the eldest brother's bearing can't tolerate my opinion at all, if he is a broad-minded person, after listening to my opinion, he must jump up happily for the first time, because after all, doing this by himself is equivalent to sending charcoal in the snow and helping him a big favor.

But the reality is just the opposite, not only did the old boy not show any happy look, but kept silent, and the expression on his face was even more unpredictable.

Through these performances, Lao Jiu guessed that the eldest brother must have blamed himself for being nosy, he shouldn't hurt his face in front of so many people, he wanted to clean himself up, but there was no good reason, and the reason why he remained silent was to think about what kind of excuse to use to poison himself.

With such a guess in his heart, Lao Jiu couldn't help but feel sad, he didn't regret standing up for his brothers, questioning the plan of taking the lead in the eldest brother, he was just unwilling, thinking why he was blind at the beginning, and would recognize such a narrow-minded person as the eldest brother, if he died at his hands today, it would be regarded as his own self-inflicted.

Thinking that his life was short, Lao Jiu suddenly lost all his thoughts, he really wanted to ask his brothers to go to his house after his death and give a message to his family, but when he thought that he would do this, it was likely to affect his brothers, so he hesitated again.

Just when he didn't know what to do, the eldest brother who took the lead suddenly spoke, he first thanked himself, and then said that he had just done it, which made him very moved.

Originally, Lao Jiu was already desperate, thinking that the leading brother would definitely not adopt his opinion, so that after he heard the leading brother's statement, he couldn't believe his ears for a while, and after being stunned for a moment, when he saw the reactions of his companions next to him, he was convinced that he was not hallucinating, and the leading brother really didn't blame himself.

Lao Jiu was so moved that he almost cried.

When the strong men on the side saw this scene, they hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him:

"Lao Jiu, why are you crying? You also heard what the eldest brother said, he is a person who understands, he doesn't blame you at all, and I thank you very much in my heart. ”

"Good brother, we were confused just now, we didn't know your good intentions, and even blamed you in our hearts, angry with you, when I thought of this, I felt so guilty that I wanted to find a place to get in."

"I really don't have the face to see you. Brother, don't say anything else, if our eldest brother listens to your opinion today, so that we can get out of the whole body, I will pay for your wine for half a year. ”

"I'll testify for you, if this old boy dares to cheat, my brothers and I will not spare him."

Seeing the brothers who were still gritting their teeth with hatred for themselves just now, they suddenly changed their faces at this moment, and they all ran over to express their apologies to themselves, not to mention how happy Lao Jiu was in his heart, because as a drunken putty, he didn't have much success in this life, and the only thing worth being proud of was that he had some friends around him who were worth befriending.

Just as he was excited, ready to accept the apologies of these strong men, and then say something to them, the big brother in charge interrupted all this.

"Don't mess around, I still have something to say." The leading brother stretched out his hands and motioned for the other strong men to retreat to their original positions.

Lao Jiu and the other strong men turned their heads one after another, looking at the leading brother with a puzzled expression, they really couldn't figure it out in their hearts, the leading brother had already expressed his gratitude to Lao Jiu, so it meant that he accepted Lao Jiu's opinion, so what else did he have to say now? Isn't it okay to just follow Lao Jiu's advice?

Although they couldn't guess the thoughts of the eldest brother in their hearts, these strong men didn't dare to disobey his orders, so they could only obediently retreat to the side, keep their mouths shut and keep quiet.

Lao Jiu looked at the leading brother with a serious face, and had an ominous premonition in his heart, he felt that the leading brother thanked himself like that just now, maybe it wasn't sincere, he just wanted to use this way to paralyze himself, so that he could lose his vigilance.

The eldest brother who took the lead saw that the emotions of everyone in front of him gradually calmed down, so he showed a smile, looked at Lao Jiu and said: "Lao Jiu, although I know that the opinion you just gave is very reasonable, but I still feel that this factor alone is not enough for us to completely change our previous plan." ”

As soon as he heard this, Lao Jiu and the strong men next to him were all surprised, they really couldn't figure it out, Lao Jiu had just said it very clearly, if the leading brother divided their gang into two groups, it would cause very dangerous consequences, since the leading brother had already understood this truth, why did he insist on going his own way?

"Big brother, I don't understand what you mean!" Lao Jiu was very emotional, but in order to show mercy to the eldest brother in the lead, his tone was very restrained when he spoke.

Although the strong men on the side did not dare to clearly express their inner dissatisfaction, they still exerted pressure on the leading brother by talking to each other and whispering.

Before opening his mouth to clearly express his opinion, the leading brother had already guessed everyone's reaction, so he was not surprised at all to see everyone's angry appearance at this moment.

"Everyone, be quiet, don't be impatient, listen to me finish." The eldest brother who took the lead cleared his throat, and then motioned for everyone present to calm down, and he still had something to say, "I know, you must be very dissatisfied with what I just said, after all, on the surface, I am so bent on going your own way, and I want to divide you into two groups of people to act, which is undoubtedly to send you to death." ”

After hearing these words, the strong men were all silent, they just stared at the leading brother with their eyes, as if they wanted to tell him with their eyes, since your old man knows this truth, why do you still say those stupid things?

Although Lao Jiu was very dissatisfied with the attitude of the leading brother, but after calming down, he felt that the reason why the leading brother said those words must be another conspiracy behind it, and it was precisely because of this conjecture in his heart that he did not blindly question the leading brother, but just nodded to him lightly and motioned for him to continue.

After carefully observing everyone's reactions, the leading brother confidently continued: "I believe that everyone feels very reasonable after listening to Lao Jiu's words just now, in fact, I don't hide it from everyone, I just thought the same as everyone, and I also think that Lao Jiu's opinion is very valuable and should be adopted."

But when I thought carefully about how to use his opinion, I found a problem.

He just said that our numbers are too small, and if we divide into two waves, it will be tantamount to dispersing our strength, which will have a huge impact on everyone to accomplish their tasks.

At first glance, these words make a lot of sense, but when you analyze them carefully, or even think about them from a different angle, the situation is different. ”

Lao Jiu and the strong men on the side, after hearing these words, they were all confused, they didn't understand what the leading brother wanted to express.

Through the expressions on everyone's faces, the eldest brother guessed their thoughts, and in order to explain things more clearly, he slowly moved to the door of the private room, and then pointed to the repaired door, and said proudly: "In order to let you better understand my words, I can only explain to you in combination with the actual situation."

The reason why we think that Lao Jiu's words are reasonable just now is because we have fallen into a misunderstanding, and we all take it for granted that the door we are going to dismantle after a while must weigh a thousand pounds, and it must be very laborious to carry, but the reality is not the case.

Our shopkeeper Lu is a very particular person, he has strict requirements for the interior decoration of his own bank, such as these doors, windows and furniture, he is shipped back from overseas, and the wood used to make these doors is not available in our Great Chu country. ”

The strong men looked at each other, and they didn't understand what these words of the leading brother had to do with the predicament they were facing.

Lao Jiu was patient, and after listening carefully to the words of the leading brother, he was suddenly shocked in his heart, thinking to himself, could it be that there is some mystery hidden in this door?

If this is the case, then his worries just now may really be a little superfluous.

"This kind of wood is a rare treasure, and the price overseas is extremely expensive, and it can't be bought at all in our Great Chu Country." The eldest brother continued to say unhurriedly, "The reason why this kind of wood is so valuable is because it has a smooth surface, light wood, and slow growth.

This kind of wooden door weighs only one-third of a normal door, and even if you are badly injured, two or three people will carry it as if it were fun. ”

Originally, the strong men all felt that the eldest brother who took the lead did not adopt Lao Jiu's opinion, because he couldn't pull it in, and wanted to deliberately go against others, but after listening to his words, everyone suddenly realized that things were not so simple, and the reason why the eldest brother took the lead insisted on going his own way was because he found something else.

The expression on Lao Jiu's face was a little embarrassed, he really didn't expect that the leading brother would have such a trick just now, he looked at the leading brother with some embarrassment, and said cautiously: "Big brother, I'm really embarrassed, it seems that I thought too much, it turns out that you have already had a careful plan, and my words just now are really ugly." ”

Other strong men also gathered around the big brother at this moment, courting him and praising his amazing observation.

The eldest brother who took the lead didn't pay attention to the strong men at all, he slowly moved to Lao Jiu's side, and then said with a sincere face: "Good brother, don't say such things."

I know that you gave me advice out of good intentions, and although you don't need it, you reminded me that when we act later, we must be foolproof and there must be no surprises.

With this in mind, I have decided to go out later, and only two of you will be selected from among you to follow me to do the guarding, and the others will all carry the door.

In this kind of well-staffed situation, if you still mess things up for me, then don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless and turning their faces and not recognizing people. ”

Lao Jiu and the other strong men, seeing that the eldest brother took the initiative to take a step back, they were all moved in their hearts, thinking that their eldest brother had changed a little after going through so many things today, and if this kind of thing had been put in the past, he would definitely have to be unforgiving.

After resolving the doubts of his subordinates, the eldest brother who took the lead and his brothers carefully explained his plan, and when everyone understood what he meant, he led everyone to take action immediately.

He first stretched out his hand to signal everyone to shut up and gather together, and then he crawled forward slowly, and when he reached the door of the private room, he moved more carefully, so that he did not make a sound as he moved.

He moved to the crack in the door, closed one eye, and then leaned on the crack in the door, peeking out, this step was very crucial, if he did not find out what was going on outside before he acted, it was likely that his brother would have been discovered before he came out of the private room.
