Zhu Shencone's words immediately made Li Hu and the others laugh, to be honest, Li Hu was also a little tempted, first, he had dealt with the Mongols at the border for so many years, but he had never been to the grassland, if he could go to the grassland to see, it would be good. Second, because of Zhu Shencone's acceptance and kindness, this allowed their group to settle down in Sheep's Head Mountain, and now their son has become Wang Jinwu's disciple, and everyone has long been their own people.

I have always been grateful to Zhu Shencone in my heart, and I want to repay Zhu Shencone, but I don't know how to do it. Now that Zhu Shencone has said this, since Zhu Shencone is going to take more people to the grassland next time, isn't this a good opportunity to contribute?

However, Li Hu thought about it and hesitated, it doesn't matter if Hu Lin goes with him, Lu Yisheng can also go, but if he goes by himself, there will be no one on Sheep's Head Mountain. Now that Sheepshead Mountain has just stabilized, there are still many things to do, and if something happens to them, they won't have time to rush back from the grassland!

"Next time, let the second and third children take a few people to follow the sixth master, I won't go, if I also go, no one will watch on this side of Sheep's Head Mountain." Li Hu said calmly to Zhu Shencone that if others heard this, they might have some thoughts about Li Hu, but Zhu Shencone knew that Li Hu was a straightforward person, and he said that he didn't mean anything else, just a matter of facts, so Zhu Shencone smiled and didn't say anything, and agreed happily.

When he came to Sheep's Head Mountain this time, Zhu Shencone already had several thoughts.

One is to look at the situation of Sheephead Mountain, although from Xia Dong and Wang Jinwu and others know that the development of Sheephead Mountain is not bad, Li Hu and others also do their best, but I heard that the actual situation has to be seen by yourself to rest assured.

Second, Li Hu and others are different from the people of Wangjia Village, the so-called relatives are different, and Li Hu is not from Wangjia Village after all.

Wangjia Village is Zhu Shencone's own people, they are close to each other, and there is an uncle Wang Rong, plus Zhu Shencone has spent a lot of effort in Wangjia Village over the years, and he has been able to control Wangjia Village. But Li Hu is just a group of homeless people who have just been subdued by Zhu Shencheng, and no matter how much these homeless people show kindness, they are still outsiders. To be truly trusted, it will take a certain amount of time.

Third, through the previous placement, Zhu Shencone placed several people in Sheep's Head Mountain, but it was still the three Li Hu brothers who really mastered the power of Sheep's Head Mountain. In this case, it is not appropriate to directly meddle in some affairs of Sheep's Head Mountain, and it is not appropriate to use strong means, based on Zhu Shencone's understanding of Li Hu, although Li Hu is a rough man, he has also served as a border army and a junior officer, and he has quite prestige in Sheep's Head Mountain.

In addition, Zhu Shencone also considered the arrangement of going to the grassland in the future, it is inevitable to go to the grassland next, the trade route has been opened, the harvest last time is huge, and it is absolutely impossible for him to give up this financial route.

If you go to the grassland again, the scale will not be the same as last time, according to Zhu Shencone's assumption, there will be at least a lot more people in his team. Even if he can't reach the level of a large merchant, he must at least reach the scale of a medium-sized merchant, but in this way, he will not have enough people in his hands.

There are actually not a few people available in Wangjia Village today, and there are nearly 100 people before and after, but most of these people are useful. In addition to the people who need people for the salt smuggling team, there are also the dignitaries from Pingyang, the people from Yangtou Mountain, and the people who stayed in Wangjia Village, and it is amazing that a dozen or so people can be drawn out of the left.

It is also dangerous to go to the grassland, and the person you bring must be strong, and you may have to fight with a knife when you encounter something. Ordinary people don't need it at all, they have to have some ability.

Zhu Shencone didn't want to take all the team that Wangjia Village had cultivated with great difficulty to the grassland, once he had an accident and was thrown on the grassland, it would be too late to regret it. After thinking about it, Zhu Shencone hit the idea to the side of Sheep's Head Mountain, and took advantage of this time to come to Sheep's Head Mountain, and by the way, he tested Li Hu and others.

didn't expect everything to go more smoothly than expected, when they learned of Zhu Shencone's arrangement to go to the grassland, Hu Lin and others actually took the initiative to follow Zhu Shencone to the grassland, even Li Hu did not refuse, and sincerely expressed his attitude, which was in Zhu Shencone's arms.

Since this is the case, it is impossible for Zhu Shencone to let it go easily, and immediately gave this matter half-jokingly and half-seriously.

According to the discussion, Hu Lin and Lu Yisheng picked seven or eight good men in the mountains to join Zhu Shencone's caravan at that time, so that a few more people from Zhu Shencone's side, plus himself and Ma Shizhou, would form a caravan of nearly twenty people.

With these numbers, plus the trade routes that went to the grassland to discuss before, it would be much safer to go there. And these people, including Hu Lin and Lu Yisheng, as long as they follow two more trips, Zhu Shencone believes that they can completely become his own people, and by that time, Sheep's Head Mountain will really belong to Zhu Shencone's forces.

"Sixth Master, I have something to tell you." After three rounds of drinking, after chatting about the grassland, Li Hu suddenly remembered something and said.

"Some time ago, a strong man appeared on the side of Zhaowuling, and the leader claimed to be a gust of wind, and it was not lively to rob the house. A few days ago, he also sent someone to Sheep's Head Mountain and handed me a ....... ”

"And this? What did you say? Zhu Shencone frowned slightly and continued to listen to Li Hu.

Li Hu told Zhu Shencone that this gust of wind had just come out some time ago, and he didn't know what the way it came from, so his subordinates gathered hundreds of people and occupied Zhaowuling on the eastern side of Yangtou Mountain.

Originally, the well water of the two sides did not interfere with the river water, and Li Hu and they were also homeless, but now with the support of Zhu Shencone, they have settled down in Yangtou Mountain, as long as this gust of wind does not come to this side of Yangtou Mountain, it will not affect the salt road where they smuggle salt, and Li Hu does not want to take care of this gust of wind.

But he didn't think about it, he ignored a gust of wind, this gust of wind actually sent someone to contact Li Hu first, and what he meant was that he wanted to join forces with Li Hu and his gang to do something big.

Curious as for asking, who would have thought that a gust of wind has a lot of appetite, and actually stared at Lingchuan, which is closest to Zhaowuling, and planned to do something in Lingchuan.

According to a gust of wind, Lingchuan Zhixian is a big corrupt official, and Lingchuan has been tossed by this bastard Zhixian over the years, and the people's grievances are boiling. Since this is the case, why don't he do a big deal for Tianxingdao with a gust of wind, if he can unite with the side of Sheep's Head Mountain, the two families will shoot together, and it will be easy to take Lingchuan.

Lingchuan is not a big county, just a small county, and there is no garrison in the county, at best, there are dozens of government servants and white soldiers, plus a dozen ordinary soldiers.

As long as they disguise themselves as ordinary people, first sneak some people into the county seat, and then take down the city gate from the inside and outside, as long as the city gate is in hand, then Lingchuan is in the bag.

When the time comes, take Lingchuan, kill the dog officer, and then open a warehouse to release grain, Lingchuan will naturally fall into his hands, and then erect a flag and gather troops, and a big thing can be done!

As long as the Lingchuan is the base, you can enter the Zhili to the east, and you can enter the Central Plains to the south, if you can directly attack Gaoping to the west, once you take Gaoping again, it is not difficult to divide one side with Taihang and Wangwu as the potential. If Li Hu is willing to start an incident together, a gust of wind can share the world equally with Li Hu, and the two will be kings side by side and share this glory and wealth.

After Li Hu finished speaking, Zhu Shencone was dumbfounded when he heard it, and his first reaction was whether this gust of wind was water in his brain? The toad yawns, what a big breath!

It is now the forty-eighth year of Wanli, not the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, and the world has not yet reached the time of chaos.

Although there have been many natural disasters and man-made disasters in recent years, and the Ming army also suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Salhu last year, the entire Ming Dynasty is still peaceful now, and the lives of the common people can go on.

In recent years, there have been no rebellions in the localities, and there have been several large and small rebellions in various provinces, but these rebellions have no climate.

For example, this is the case here in Shanxi, the biggest disturbance was when a group of mud-legged people killed a few officials, but they couldn't even beat down the county government, so they were killed by the officers and soldiers who rushed to the scene, and the mastermind was cut off in a blink of an eye, and the rest did not run away.

Zhu Shencone didn't know where this gust of wind came from, and how could he have such confidence. In this case, he should not be a promising mountain king, but he had to go down the mountain to kill officials and rebel, where did he have the courage?

"You didn't promise him, did you?" Thinking of this, Zhu Shencone asked.

"I'm not stupid, how can I agree." Li Hu's head shook like a rattle: "I am from the background of being a soldier, can I not know the Tao here?" If this thing had been as easy as a gust of wind said, we wouldn't have hid in Sheep's Head Mountain back then. ”

"Not to mention that a gust of wind is a rabble, even if the people he brings are all soldiers, it is impossible to kill officials and rebel! What if you are lucky enough to take Lingchuan? Once the news comes out, Ning Shanwei is close at hand, and as soon as the official army arrives, it will be good if a gust of wind can block half a round, and when the time comes, he will have to implicate his brothers, I am not as stupid as him. ”

Li Hu's words made Zhu Shencone's heart fall back, and he then asked where was the person sent by a gust of wind? Whether it is still in Sheepshead Mountain.

Li Hu told Zhu Shencone that the other party would go back after he returned to the duel, and when he went back, he seemed to look down on Li Hu a little, and said a few words that he originally thought that Li Hu was a good man, and the three brothers of the Yang family in Sheep's Head Mountain could conspire together to do great things, but they didn't think that they were actually shrinking turtles or something.

At that time, Lu Yi was so angry that he almost shouted for someone to take down this guy and cut off his head. However, Li Hu stopped him, Li Hu felt that although he did not promise a gust of wind, he could not commit confrontation between the two sides, in case the two sides fell out, no one could guarantee that a gust of wind would not be annoyed and angry and bring people to fight Sheep's Head Mountain first.

The foundation of this sheep's head mountain has just begun, and there are still a large number of salt goods from Zhu Shencone on the mountain, plus the salt road of private salt cannot be broken, so Li Hu secretly endured this breath after thinking about it, and put the person back.

After listening, Zhu Shencone frowned and did not speak for a while. Looking at his appearance, Li Hu felt a little apprehensive in his heart, and couldn't help but think of his previous decision to let people go, could he have done something wrong?
