Chapter XXVI: Verbal Alliances
Lu Jingfei's family only had Feng Qingluan and him, and of course, the two of them were taken to the mansion of Cangyuan City together.
The officials did not take them to the lobby, but bypassed the lobby to Li Xianzhong's private residence.
Lu Jingfei felt strange in his heart, it stands to reason that he is a rebel and must be brought to the lobby.
"Master Lu, the prince is invited!"
A family member walked out of Li Xianzhong's mansion and spoke very politely.
Lu Jingfei didn't know how Li Xianzhong should treat them, so he was a little apprehensive, and followed his family to Li Xianzhong's living room.
Feng Qingluan peeked at it, Li Xianzhong's living room was not elegantly decorated, and there were a few colorful tiger skins hanging on the wall.
"Master Lu, I didn't expect you to be by my side for so long, I didn't even know you were undercover!" The speakers laughed heartily.
Feng Qingluan peeked again, and saw a huge strong man sitting on a wide Nanmu Taishi chair, with a full face and beard.
"Lord Wang, I'm not rebelling, and I haven't rebelled!" Lu Jingfei hurriedly explained.
"Alright, you sit down first, let's talk slowly!" Feng Qingluan heard Lu Jingfei call this bearded man the prince, and knew that he was Li Xianzhong, seeing that he was burly, not angry and arrogant.
Someone brought two chairs, and Lu Jingfei and Feng Qingluan sat down.
"Master Lu, I invite you to my house, but I have something important to discuss with you!"
Li Xianzhong glanced at them.
"Lord Wang, I am your subordinate, if you have any orders, I will do it!"
Lu Jingfei didn't know what his purpose was, and he spoke carefully.
"I received a letter from Wu Shaoguang in Tianyang City, he said that you are someone from the Huaxia Salvation Association, and asked me to get rid of you, the Huaxia Salvation Association, but the more he asked me to do it, I didn't do it, I know, he has long wanted to occupy my Cangyuan City!" Li Xianzhong was indignant when he spoke.
"What the prince said is right, our Cangyuan City is close to the sea, we can rush into the hinterland of the Chuxia Great Country, and we can retreat to the island in the middle of the sea, Wu Shaoguang's prodigal ambition, how can he not want to swallow up our big fat meat!"
Lu Jingfei's words spoke to Li Xianzhong's heart, and he understood that his current strength was less than one-third of Wu Shaoguang's.
"I heard that Wu Shaoguang was guided by the immortals and set up a musket team, I don't know what a musket team is, I heard that as soon as it smoked, people were killed!" Li Xianzhong spoke, with a hint of uneasiness on his face.
"The prince doesn't have to worry, he has a musket team, we can also have a musket team, in fact, weapons are not important, the key depends on who the poor people support!"
Lu Jingfei began to comfort him.
"Okay, let's not talk about the musket team, what is your Chuxia Salvation Association, I thought about it, since Wu Shaoguang wants me to exterminate it, it will definitely be beneficial to me, I have decided, cooperate with your Chuxia Salvation Association, you can help me defend Cangyuan City!"
Li Xianzhong's words made Feng Qingluan and Lu Jingfei a little surprised, and they didn't expect him to take the initiative to ask for cooperation.
"The prince is so favored, don't say anything about cooperation, we are your subordinates, we will do whatever you tell us to do!" Lu Jingfei remembered that Dongfang Mirror said that he wanted to cooperate with Li Xianzhong, but now that the opportunity is in front of him, how can he disagree.
"Not only do I cooperate with you, but I also have an old friend of yours, I heard that he has a gang under him, and we will all work together in the future!" Li Xianzhong said, and then shouted outside the door: "Let Luo Hu come in!" ”
Hearing Luo Hu's name, Lu Jingfei was shocked, because Luo Hu is a famous pirate in this area, killing people and goods, doing all kinds of evil, a few days ago, he was arrested and brought to justice, or he personally sentenced Ling Chi for the crime, and he didn't expect to be released by Li Xianzhong.
Before Li Xianzhong's words fell, a fat black man with a short figure walked in.
He didn't salute Li Xianzhong, but said to Lu Jingfei: "Master Lu, don't come unharmed, we will be colleagues in the future, and our Four Seas Gang is willing to obey your dispatch!" ”
Although Lu Jingfei was full of suspicion, he had no choice but to salute.
"Luo Zhuangshi will change his ways and serve the prince in the future, which is really gratifying!" Lu Jingfei has been a master for a long time, and naturally his appearance is silent.
"There's no way, I have to use your black and white path to protect the safety of Cangyuan City!" Li Xianzhong looked at the two of them.
"Master Lu will help me organize and train the army in the future and collect money and food. Gang Leader Luo, lead your subordinates to take care of Cangyuan City, and now Wu Shaoguang and other young people have sent a lot of spies to our Cangyuan City, you Luo Hu want to find them all! ”
Lu Jingfei and Luo Hu agreed at the same time.
"You two are mortal enemies, but, from now on, you must cooperate sincerely and don't go wrong!"
The two nodded in agreement.
"Master Lu, from today onwards, your Chu Xia Salvation Association will be able to openly operate in my Cangyuan City, what do you want to do, you don't need to tell me, but I want to ask you for an army that can defeat Wu Shaoguang and those other messy princes!"
Li Xianzhong said a lot, and Lu Jingfei knew his purpose.
"I forgot to ask, who are you this young man?" Li Xianzhong pointed to Feng Qingluan and asked.
"His name is Feng Qingluan, and he is my little brother!" Lu Jingfei hurriedly replied.
"Feng Qingluan, is it the Feng Qingluan who flooded the Yang Capital?" Li Xianzhong asked.
"That's just a very bad idea!" Feng Qingluan thought of Yangdu City, which was still in the water, and felt uneasy in his heart.
"No matter what the idea, it's good to win the battle, if you can flood Tianyang City and let Wu Shaoguang feed Wang Ba, then I can sleep peacefully!"
Lu Jingfei and Feng Qingluan didn't expect that it would be such a result, Li Xianzhong actually let the Huaxia Salvation Association openly carry out activities.
After leaving Li Xianzhong's mansion, Feng Qingluan said: "Brother Lu, I can go to the city and countryside of Cangyuan to mobilize the poor people, let them join the Chu Xia Salvation Association, or enter the troops of Cangyuan City2, if only we could establish a force that is all members of the Chu Xia Salvation Congress!" ”
Listening to Feng Qingluan's words, Lu Jingfei was a little worried.
"We don't know what Li Xianzhong's purpose is for the time being, does he want to kill us all?"
"Brother Lu, I don't have to worry about this, Li Xianzhong is alone after all, and he is afraid of being swallowed up by Wu Shaoguang. Also, even if we cooperate with Li Xianzhong, we must always be wary of him, he should be the same as Wu Shaoguang, it is not in his own interests, and he will immediately turn his face and be ruthless! ”
"What you said is right, and now Uncle Dongfang Jing is the president of the Chu Xia Salvation Association, we have to cooperate with Li Xianzhong, and we must listen to his opinion!"
"Brother Lu, where is Uncle Dongfang Mirror, he won't be Li Xianzhong's guest now!"
"That's not true, Uncle Shi is still in Cangyuan City, as long as it's convenient, he will meet us!"
The two returned to Lu Jingfei's home.
"Brother Lu, why is there only you in this big house!" Feng Qingluan was a little curious.
"Those of us who are masters are the easiest to offend people, and we are also more likely to make mistakes, in order not to affect our families, so we are masters outside, and we will never bring our family members with us!"
Listening to Lu Jingfei's words, he suddenly remembered Liu Hanyan, who had been separated for a long time, and he didn't know how she was, how could he bring his family with him.
"Brother Lu, you should send me to the countryside, I think it is still the suffering people who can help us rebuild the great country of Chuxia!"
"Qingluan, what you said is also right, Li Xianzhong, Wu Shaoguang and others are all for their own power, and they will never care about the life and death of the people, let alone think about rebuilding the great country of Chuxia!"
The two talked about it personally, and Lu Jingfei decided to send Feng Qingluan outside Cangyuan City.
Feng Qingluan was just ready. A carrier pigeon flew over, Lu Jingfei grabbed the carrier pigeon, took out the secret letter, and looked at it.
"Uncle Shi will be here tomorrow, let him assign us how to do it!"
Feng Qingluan agreed, and stayed at Lu Jingfei's house for another night.
At dawn the next day, Lu Jingfei hurriedly came over to call him.
"Uncle Shi has arrived!"
He hurriedly washed up, got up in a hurry, and came to see Dongfang Mirror with Lu Jingfei.
"Since Li Xianzhong agreed to cooperate with us, I don't have to come forward, you let go of your hands and feet, the brothers of the Spring and Autumn Society in the past have all taken action and placed them in Li Xianzhong's troops, maybe this Cangyuan City is the foundation for us to rebuild the great power of Chuxia in the future!"
Oriental Mirror said very confidently.
"Uncle Shi, there is another matter, that is, Brother Feng Qingluan wants to go to Cangyuan City and Countryside to develop the poor people to join the Chuxia Salvation Association!"
Lu Jingfei said, Dongfang Jing said: "This idea is good, let's think about it, which landlord is willing to give up his family business and go out to fight hard, or is the suffering person willing to give up his life!" ”
Feng Qingluan saw that Dongfang Mirror also supported herself. Hurry up and thank him for it.
"Uncle Shi, I also thought about it carefully, the children of rich families just want more power and money, and they will ignore the righteousness and shame of these things!"
"Boy, knowledge!" Dongfang Jing praised: "It's just that the land around Cangyuan City is fertile, and the people are richer than other places, if you want to succeed in the future, you should go to these places in the north and south, where the people are poor, and it is easier to start!"
"Uncle Shi's teachings, Qingluan keeps them in mind!"
"Okay, you can go outside Cangyuan City first and take a look, and you can train yourself!" Dongfang Mirror said and took out some silver coins from his arms.
Feng Qingluan saw Dongfang Mirror handing him the money, and hurriedly excused himself.
"This is the silver coin issued by Li Xianzhong, it can only be used around Cangyuan City, you can take it, maybe it will be of some use!" Lu Jingfei saw Feng Qingluan's resignation, and hurriedly persuaded.
Feng Qingluan no longer shirked and accepted the money. Lu Jingfei found two more members of the Chuxia Salvation Association and went to Cangyuan City and Countryside with him.
The two companions Lu Jingfei was looking for were both eighteen or nineteen-year-old young people, one of them was named Lin Guang and the other was Fan Cheng, who were about the same age as Feng Qingluan.
The three of them walked out of the city, singing and laughing all the way. Feng Qingluan saw that outside Cangyuan City, except for some small hills, it was all fertile land, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, such a great river and mountain were actually shattered.
