Chapter 3 Han'an's Envoy

One day chatting, Du Gang praised Wang Xinghui, saying that he couldn't see that Wang Xinghui was young, and he was not small, and he dared to use his mouth to suck snake venom, Wang Xinghui said: "After I left Liantian Mountain since I was a child, I later met a lot of like-minded brothers in the two lakes and other places. Storyteller, singing, can be described as five elements and eight doors, full of talents, there is a foreign Xiucai once told me the peculiarity of snake venom, once the snake venom enters the blood vessels, the blood around the body will slowly coagulate, only the coagulated poisonous blood and poison sucked out, may be able to save a life, as long as there is no wound in the mouth, immediately after sucking it out, it is no big problem for people, the situation was more urgent at that time, Yi Lao Bo's life was on the verge of death, I had to take a risk. ”

Du Gang was very impressed, and on this day he brought four or five beggar-looking people with great interest, and said to Wang Xinghui and Uncle Yi: "You two are injured, but that poisonous snake has to be removed. ”

Everyone followed a few beggars, and came to the depths of the East Mountain Col, and the person who saw the snake cave that day pointed out to the beggar's head, only to see that the place where the snake cave was located, the strange rocks were craggy, the ancient timber wolf forest, a gloomy one, and it was chilling down the spine in the daytime.

A thin black beggar with a cloth bag on his body said, "Well, the mountain cliff has blocked the light, and this place is cloudy and cold, and it is a place where poisons like to gather!" He approached the left and right to look around, untied the gourd hanging from his waist, took the medicinal wine in the gourd in his mouth, sprayed it on his arms and legs, and then waved his hand to signal everyone to step back.

The old beggar tapped a few times in the grass with a dog-beating stick, and then quickly tossed the weeds, and a large hole appeared from the weeds. The hole was smooth and lackluster, apparently caused by poisonous substances crawling in and out. The old beggar muttered a spell and sprayed the medicinal wine in the gourd at the mouth of the cave. The rest of the beggars stepped forward, striking on the ground with sticks in their hands, babbling and singing, and walked slowly around the snake hole.

Everyone saw the novelty, and Uncle Yi was well-informed, and said: "It's the lotus flower that is singing, this is the arrival of the expert." The tiger baby asked curiously: "What is the lotus flower falling?" Uncle Yi said: "The lotus flower is the good luck that the flower child said when he begs for people!"

Uncle Yi glanced at him and said: "The lotus flower falling on the ears of others sounds like it is just an ordinary singing, but the beggars classify them according to different tones and repertoire, and slowly divide into many types, some of which can beat the drum and pass the flowers, and transmit all kinds of information and instructions. The lotus flowers sung by these beggars fell one by one, and they were frustrated in a low tone, like that, they were probably from the beggar gang!"

Not long after, there was a foul smell from inside the cave, followed by a noisy noise, and it was clear that the snakes inside were alarmed. A few beggars did not panic, quickly uncovered the cloth bag on their bodies, grabbed some yellow powder from it and sprinkled it on the ground in a circle, leaving only a gap in the hole, only to see more than ten snakes crawling out of the hole, these snakes are black, white, yellow, green, red, blue, purple and all colors, at first glance are extremely poisonous snakes. Du Gang, Wang Xinghui, Yi Laobo, Huwa, etc. looked straight up. These beggars grabbed them as if they were fishing for shrimp and put them in cloth bags.

After a while, the cloth bag was bulging, and the poisonous snake in it kept wriggling, and the beggar put his ear to the ground, listened carefully for a while, shook his head, and said, "Let's go." Wang Xinghui and Uncle Yi stepped forward to thank him, and the beggar said: "Uncle is polite, we are begging everywhere for a living, these poisons are our food, and we have been rewarded by several uncles, which is enough for us to eat for several days, thank you for not working." ”

Du Gang and Wang Xinghui sent the beggars out of the mountain gate, the beggar walked a few steps, suddenly stopped, sighed, and stepped forward and said: "There is a sentence, I must tell you, I see that there are many kinds of poisonous snakes in this snake cave, among which the red chain, black tip, golden ring, five steps, spotted viper, and pit are all highly poisonous snakes, so many poisonous snakes appear in a cave, there must be a snake king here, you have to be careful." ”

Du Gang said: "Since this is the case, why didn't you arrest the snake king just now! ”

The beggar shook his head and said: "All the big snakes become kings, they have gone through some creation, vicious and abnormal, not ordinary people can catch them, just now this snake king saw through my formation, has fled to the hole, we call Hanako often deal with snakes, familiar with the habits of snakes, a snake that can not be caught once, no matter what method is used, it is impossible to catch it a second time, alas, it is a pity, it is a pity, I also have to go far, otherwise the next time I meet, I am afraid that this beast will have to find me for revenge." ”

Du Gang said: "Isn't there another exit to this cave?" The old beggar said: "This snake king can gather five or six kinds of highly poisonous snakes for him to drive, there must be another thing in this cave, which can connect the four directions of the earth, and it has left this place at this moment." Just beware of this coming back. After saying that, he drifted away.

Du Gang and Wang Xinghui didn't know if it was true or not, but after all, he was maddened, this day Huwa led a guy back angrily to report, saying that a batch of drugs bought back from Yunnan was snatched away on the Jinsha waterway, Wang Xinghui was taken aback, stood up and asked: "Who did it, did it hurt people?"

The guy said: "I injured five or six people, and they ambushed us just after Yiliang, and five or six clippers surrounded us and forced us into the water, and the boat and medicine were gone, and the boat boss was the most seriously injured, and they slashed him, and he almost couldn't come back." "This trip to Yunnan was originally a big plan planned by Wang Xinghui, the medicine on the mountain is very scarce, in case of repeated poisonous insect bites, bruises, and injuries without enough medicine to treat, you can only watch with your eyes, whether you live or die and leave it to fate. In addition, even the Tianshan Mountains have just gained a foothold, and the surrounding situation cannot but be clear, the northeast direction is occupied by various warlords, and only the remote areas at the junction of Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou in the southwest direction, the situation is unclear, this trip to Yunnan, one is to purchase white medicine to treat injuries, and the other is to take advantage of this to explore the situation in the southwest, and take the route to the west, but he did not think that the first westward trip would be disadvantageous, Wang Xinghui asked again: "You didn't provoke anyone along the way?"

The guy said: "No, no, we remember the words of the eldest brother and the second brother, this westward journey, we have to make more friends along the way, but this group of people surrounded the boat violently to search the boat, our boat boss asked him which rule this is, a few words did not say a word and moved his hand, the hands are all black, with a knife, and finally left a word, saying, "Tea Horse Road, Jinsha Road, people can pass, money is not good!

Wang Xing would whisper this name, and Uncle Yi also groaned: "Wumeng Mountain Cheng is blind... , I haven't heard of this person, why is it so black......"

Du Gang has been muttering in his heart since the beggar who caught the snake said those few words, be careful to beware of this thing coming again, could it be on Hu Gui's body? Therefore, he has been ordering Huwa to step up vigilance everywhere, build tower fortifications, and be careful, when Wang Xinghui said that he wanted to open up this line in Yunnan, Du Gang once said: The cottage is new, and it should not be moved lightly. He asked Huwa to comfort the injured boat boss and others, and discussed with Wang Xinghui and Uncle Yi how to avenge the blind man in Wumeng Mountain, Wang Xinghui said: "Let's salute first and then soldiers, it is better to send someone to Wumeng Mountain for a trip and send a letter, no matter whether the medicine can be returned or not, there must be a disposal." ”

Uncle Yi said: "The road of Wumeng Mountain is not close, as the saying goes, the crow takes out the meat in the mouth, and the thieves and robbers who kill people and sell the goods are all rats drilling oil bottles, there are in and out, in order to be afraid of releasing the living mouth, and turn back to find all the people and horses to kill back, let's go to the door to ask for accounts, I'm afraid we can't please it." ”

The three of them spent a total of one night, and agreed that this grudge was too far, as the so-called strong crossbow ended, the whip was beyond reach, only swallowed this breath temporarily, the mountains did not turn around, and there was always a chance to meet in the future. Du Gang found someone to block the snake cave tightly with gravel and sanhe soil, which is not a problem.

Less than three months after the defeat of the Yunnan delegation, Deng Jinfan sent a guy from the Dongfeng Hotel to report that someone from Han'an County had come on business.

Du Gang, Wang Xinghui, Yi Laobo, and Huwa were very surprised when they heard the news, even Tianshan was in Han'an County, and Han'an County also came to raise troops several times after the cottage was raised, and there were mutual injuries, and no one could help anyone, and then it was gone, and there was nothing to do, and there was nothing to do, and I didn't expect that this would suddenly hear that the county government sent people to come on business.

Huwa smiled and said: "I even cleaned up Hu Guiquan in Tianshan, did not eat royal meals, did not pay official food, and Han'an County has always used well water and does not interfere with river water, we did not send someone to borrow his food, he came to pick up the tiger's whiskers, and sent someone to come on business! Come, come, call him up, and I will see how he does business!"

Uncle Yi asked the guy: "How many people are here, what do they look like, do you know their names?" The guy said: "Just two people, one is dressed up, brings an entourage, picks up a load of goods, and says what kind of greeting gift, but does not say name." When the guy said the word "greeting", he suspected that he had heard it wrong.

The four of them were even more confused this time, the county yamen gave a gift to the robbers? This is the first time I have heard of this! Du Gang groaned and said: "Tell Jin Fan, blindfold your eyes, don't let the spies step on the plate, and bring them up." ”

After a while, two guards escorted the two of them into the lobby one after the other. The man brought in a load of gifts and put them in it. The guards removed the black cloth from the eyes of the two men, and the first one with a beard calmly looked around, and the one behind dressed as an entourage.

Bazi Xu looked at Du Gang and the other four people, smiled slightly, arched his hand and reported to the door of the house and said: "I am the new secretary of Han'an County, the villain's surname is He, and I will meet a few village owners......

Du Gang, Hu Wa, and Uncle Yi all heard the word secretary for the first time, and Hu Wa also asked again, and Bazi Xu politely explained that it was the master. Wang Xinghui has traveled abroad, he has heard of it, but he has never visited it, and everyone thinks: Secretary, today, I can be regarded as seeing an official.

Secretary He also greeted Du Gang, Wang Xinghui, Uncle Yi, and Huwa one by one, and when he saw the ceremony, his name was shouted exactly at all, obviously he came prepared, and remembered everyone's appearance and name clearly. Uncle Yi saw that he was polite, and he couldn't see the intention, so it was difficult to distinguish friend from foe, and he also asked with a slight smile: "I can't think of the names of a few of our mountain and wild people, and I also bothered that Master He wrote it down, but I don't know why he came here with Master He this time?"

Secretary He smiled and said: "Uncle must not be polite, it is already the Republic of China this morning, the Yamen has changed its title, and we don't have a master here, just call me Secretary He,...... I'm here to bring the edict of County Magistrate Li, our County Magistrate Li, oh, the county magistrate is the county magistrate in the past...... The county magistrate Li said, we first came to the treasure land to perform our duties, it has been three months, long Mu Lian Tianshan all the village owners prestige, because of busy business, can not meet, now occasionally have leisure, specially ordered the official to come to visit......"

The more Du Gang and the others listened, the more they were enlightened, Secretary He saw it in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth smiled slightly, "County Magistrate Li has a word, and the lords of the village defend the suburbs, and work tirelessly, so that the robbers of Yunnan do not dare to invade, and the people of the four townships are more blessed. As he spoke, he uncovered the green curtain on the burden, revealing two baskets of copper coins, and took out a letter from his arms and sent it to Du Gang, "Please take care of a few village owners, during the national crisis, ** financial resources are limited, please don't be too little, and hope to accept it,...... This is a handwritten letter from the county magistrate Li to the lord of Du Zhai, please take a look. As he spoke, he sent a letter to Du Gang and the other four.

An hour ago, Du Gang also imagined several scenarios, the county government came to people on business, the big deal was to ask the teacher for sin, urge the payment of public grain, and ask for taxes, and he also thought about the way to respond in advance, each of which was the first to get off the horse and kill the other party's prestige. But at this time, the two frames of copper coins from the county lord are now placed in front of him, and roughly speaking, there are at least two hundred hanging coins, although it is not a lot, but the words of the people are clear: the finances are tight, please bear more. Du Gang continued the letter and asked blankly: "Since last year, we have had several frictions with Han'an County...... You came to the cottage this time just to give me this burden?"

Secretary He laughed: "It's true, don't question the master of Du Zhai, even Tianzhai had some misunderstandings with Han'an County before, we have heard of this, but that is already a matter of the former official, we Li County came to the treasure land for a long time, and we just want to make friends with heroes from all over the world, and we have no other intentions." At this point, everyone knew why Han'an County had not come to Liantianshan for half a year to look for trouble: it turned out that the official had changed. Du Gang still said worriedly: "Since ancient times, only the grass people have been talking to officials, Secretary He is here, what should I say?"

Wang Xinghui didn't answer, but he also saw that Secretary He didn't seem to have malicious intent, the tense atmosphere before eased, Huwa wiped her hands at a loss, glanced at the teapot on the table, walked over and poured tea, and ordered the guards to bring the chair, so that the two of them sat down. Everyone lost some flattered and sincere fears and apologized, and Secretary He also smiled and showed a kind of reckless generosity and open-mindedness.

Several people reintroduced the courtesy, drank tea, and chatted about some family things. Du Gang said euphemistically: "Although it is the new county magistrate Li who looks down on us and does not regard us as robbers who rob our homes, we have never had anything to do with the government, although we have never taken the initiative to embarrass the government, and we dare not take half an inch of credit.

Secretary He showed a disapproving expression on his face, patted the back of Du Gang's hand in a strange tone, and said earnestly: "Brother Du is serious, in today's troubled times, lawlessness, the government and the people are the same There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers, righteous people who serve the country and the people, how can there be a difference between the government and the people?" Our county magistrate Li has always admired heroes like you, just want to make friends, and have no other intentions, whether the effect is effective or not is a later story, if a few heroes do not abandon the marriage as a family, Han'an County will naturally have difficulties in the future, but today I will not mention it for the time being. ”

Du Gang slowly put his mind at ease, Secretary He praised it, he listened to it very usefully, and saw that Secretary He said it truthfully, he was very happy, he looked at Wang Xinghui and Uncle Yi, meaning to see if the two of them had anything to say, if not, it was almost noon, and it was time to stay for dinner.

Uncle Yi has been thinking about it since Secretary He went up the mountain, although the other party kept saying that he had no other intentions, but since ancient times, where has the reason why the county master has crossed the mountains and mountains to send money to the thieves and robbers for no reason? He quietly pondered Secretary He's words and deeds: although he has been verbally swearing that he wants nothing else, he has never revealed the intention of saying goodbye and leaving, but just smiled and said some polite words to Huwa and Du Gang, especially when Huwa was next to himself and said another sentence, "I will go to the soup in the future!" No, this secretary still has something to ask for! But why did he repeatedly refuse to admit it? Oh, understood! Uncle Yi thought to himself: He was afraid that we would regret what he asked for, so he had to excuse us again and again, and taught us to nail and turn our feet, and when he could not take back what he said, he would pick up the stubble, and what he asked for would be foolproof.

So what is he asking for? Can we help him do it? Uncle Yi smiled heartily: If it was something that even Tianshan couldn't do, County Magistrate Li would never have come so boldly with gifts, and as for what it was, it must have been in that letter.

He listened to Du Gang and Secretary He repeatedly polite, Du Gang said that it was useless, and asked Secretary He to bring back the money, and Secretary He said that before going out, the county magistrate Li repeatedly explained that he must ask a few village owners to accept it in person, he thought, it's time to pierce the window paper.

Uncle Yi stood up and interrupted Du Gang: "That's it, since the newly arrived county master takes such a fancy to our little Liantianzhai and is willing to make us a friend, we have to refrain again, that is, we don't know how to lift, then we are not welcome, this load of money, we will accept it, if the county magistrate Li is really useful to my Liantianshan effect, as long as we can do it, please say it directly, we will go to the soup and the fire." ”

Uncle Yi has always been a think tank on the mountain, Du Gang saw that Uncle Yi had made up his mind, and immediately stood up with a smile and said: "Yes, yes, yes, I will be my own family in the future, what is the use of our brothers, just say!"

Sure enough, Secretary He did not deny it this time, he pretended to pause, and said that he was still off, and under Du Gang's repeated urging, Secretary He said in a hurry: "It's not a secret, right now, cough cough, right now County Magistrate Li does have a little bit of trouble, and several village owners, it is also quite related, so County Magistrate Li ordered the officials to come to visit...... Or, why don't you ask the lord of Du Zhai to read the county magistrate's letter first, and then I will slowly talk to a few people?"

Du Gang took out the letter and saw at a glance the official seal of the red body at the end, which was very similar to the official seal on the official seal on the official list posted on the city gate in the past. Uncle Yi stood behind Du Gang and briefly read the meaning of the letter. With Secretary He's foreshadowing, County Magistrate Li's letter naturally did not need to be so vague, and after a brief politeness, he explained the current grim situation in Han'an County and the reason why he took the initiative to make friends.

It turned out that not long after the county magistrate Li took office, the defenders in the north sent a telegram to use the channel to enter Yunnan to suppress bandits. Secretary He took advantage of the time when Du Gang and Uncle Yi read the letter to explain the cause and effect of the incident, and he said: "...... In the name of suppressing bandits, he wanted to use the name of suppressing bandits to force his classmate Lu Shichang in Yunnan to suppress bandits...... Tang Division Commander and Lu Division Commander were colleagues in the Sichuan-Yunnan-Guizhou Protector Alliance, in the Great War to Protect the Country, Tang Division Commander loved to listen to the orders of General Fuwei, but Lv Division Commander was willing to listen to the orders of General Songpo, after the death of General Songpo, General Lu was squeezed out to the edge of Jue County, Xingwen and other marginal places, the dispute between the two has been a long time, this is not, Tang Division Commander wants to kill them all, sandwiched a Han'an County in the middle, it turns out that Han'an County is the scope of Wang Lingji, Tang Division Commander does not dare to collide with Wang Lingji, so there has been no way, now look at our Li County Magistrate by the Guangzhou National** Appointed to come from afar, there is no foundation, so he has no scruples, under the pretense of suppressing bandits, the soldiers are under the city of Han'an, and they want to use the road to adjust the defense, in fact, they want to go to the Sichuan and Guizhou areas to find their former comrades, and the current opponent will compete with each other. ”

Wang Xinghui nodded and answered: "So that's the case, presumably once County Magistrate Li agrees with Commander Tang to lead the troops across the border, Commander Tang will definitely come again to pick up the grass and beat rabbits, but I'm afraid that Han'an County will ...... at that time."

Secretary He slapped his palms: "That's it, County Magistrate Li also knows this way, we were appointed by the Guangzhou National **, thanks to the recommendation of Brigadier Wang Lingji, and came to Han'an as an official, which originally made some colleagues in Sichuan resentful, this Tang Divisional Commander, I heard that he is not very close to Wang Lingji Brigadier, in case he allows Tang Divisional Commander to cross the border, I am afraid, hehe, he is ready to kill two birds with one stone and take the sheep with one stone!"

Uncle Yi smiled disdainfully: "These soldiers have made a lot of war money, and everywhere they go, they are digging three feet into the ground, and County Magistrate Li's concerns are not unreasonable, what Secretary He just said, and I have some connections with the Tianshan Mountains, I don't know where to start?"

Secretary He continued: "Although Division Commander Tang and Division Commander Lu have a grudge, they both belong to the battle sequence of the national army, but they do not dare to blatantly send troops to fight, so they have to use the excuse to suppress bandits, and several village owners have made a good reputation in the past two years. Secretary He took out another piece of official paper from his arms and presented it to Du Gang.

Huwa scolded: "How can this be reasonable, what kind of bullshit teacher, dare to provoke me Lian Tianshan, I'll read it, I'll read it!" He snatched the text and read it aloud word by word:

"The commander of the 33rd Division of the Sichuan Army under the command of General Fuwei of the Republic of China, the lieutenant general of the army, and the general of Chongwei, Tang Mouzi, told the state and county books along the way: The husband and the artifact are falling, and the whole country is grieving; there are bandits, standing in the Tianshan Mountain, and it is the duty to hang the people and cut down the crime......

As soon as the sixteen words of "there are bandits, standing in the Tianshan Mountains, hanging the people and cutting down crimes, it is unshirkable" As soon as these sixteen words came out, more than ten people in the hall from Du Gang were suddenly furious, and there were five or six people who spat out dirty words to greet the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of Master Tang, Uncle Yi held back his anger and asked Huwa to continue reading, and Huwa read angrily:

“...... Along the way, the prefectures and counties all learned that there were people who contributed people, made powerful contributions, and the materials and military salaries should be at their disposal, and those who did not follow the rules were selfless in military law. ”

Du Gang muttered to himself: "It turns out that the bandits who are suppressed in the middle of the day, this bandit that the Tang division commander wants to suppress, refers to my Liantian Cottage, I can't imagine that we will do great things, and his reputation has long been spread all over Sichuan, and even his surname Tang is far away in northern Sichuan, and he also knows my prestige in Liantianzhai......"

Secretary He smiled and said: "Several village owners rose up and were heroic, which naturally attracted the attention of Sichuan, but the reason why Master Tang recruited Lian Tianshan to send troops this time was, in my opinion, all at the instigation of one person. ”

Du Gang, Wang Xinghui and other four people asked in unison: Who?

Secretary He popped out of his mouth word by word: It was the pioneer brigade commander sent by Division Commander Tang to lead the army this time, and it was your old acquaintance - Guo Xunqi. ”

When the four of them heard this, they nodded silently and said: "Yes, we snatched Lian Tianshan from Hu Guiquan's hands, and formed a big enmity with the Hu family, Xiao Nizi surnamed Hu was crying by the pillow, this Guo Xunqi must take this breath for his father-in-law!" Du Gang sat down on the chair and said, "Sure enough, Guo Xunqi will not give up so easily, he still came to the door." ”

Secretary He saw that he had explained the whole thing clearly, and sighed: "But isn't it? Guo Xunqi received the position of pioneer, but I am afraid that he is also a false way, and the drunkard does not mean to drink-he does not care about the dispute between Master Lu and Master Tang, nor does he care about Guangzhou ** and Wang Lingji, he is only afraid that he is coming for you, once he is allowed to lead the troops to come, Han'an County will inevitably suffer from the pond fish, I am afraid that he will be the first to suffer, first of all, the brothers of Lian Tianshan." ”

Du Gang and Huwa listened to him tell him what should happen before and after the incident, and their anger was completely provoked. After listening to Wang Xinghui and Uncle Yi, although they felt that Secretary He had some places to add fuel and vinegar, there were documents and letters as evidence, and the general context of the matter was reasonable and should be correct. After listening to it, everyone felt that there was no countermeasure for a while, only the tiger baby shouted to fight with the surnamed Tang.

Secretary He also said: "County Magistrate Li knows the benevolence and righteousness of several village owners, and knows the origin of Lian Tianshan and Guo Xunqi, and several villages are mainly able to have a good strategy for retreating, and there is no need for my Han'an County to intervene, then we naturally have nothing to say...... If a few village owners can understand the righteousness and accept the reorganization of Han'an County with the same hatred and hatred as my Han'an County, then the Tang division commander will have no excuse to enter the army, and the crisis in my Han'an County will naturally be half solved. ”

Secretary He was afraid that Du Gang would have other concerns, so he didn't wait for him to speak, and said: "A few village owners, please rest assured, County Magistrate Li said clearly, after accepting the reorganization, even the people of Tianzhai will remain intact, and the county will allocate money and grain on a monthly basis. ”

After sending off Secretary He and his entourage, Huwa shook her arm and shouted loudly: "The warlord combs, the county magistrate shaves, and the people are left breathless." What good people are in power, and now that they see that we have become the climate, they must have bad intentions if they want to win us over! I don't believe him!"

Du Gang, Wang Xinghui and Uncle Yi did not answer, and the four of them discussed again overnight. Du Gang and Wang Xinghui felt that cooperating with County Magistrate Li was the best policy for symbiosis, and rejected County Magistrate Li's kindness, not to mention that Commander Tang's 100,000 heavy troops pressed the border, even if it was Guo Xunqi's vanguard brigade, it would be easy to exterminate even the Tianshan Mountains. Since the establishment of Liantianzhai, although it has defeated many nuisances in nearby mountains, prefectures and counties, it is still self-aware of what the result will be when a small militia group, hundreds of people, and dozens of guns want to meet a reorganized strong army that defeated five times its own Beiyang Army in the Battle of Naxi.

When Secretary He left, he said that the county magistrate Li knew that the people of Liantianzhai were mighty, and the soldiers were angry with the enemy, and they were not afraid of the end of the crossbow of the Tang Division Guo Brigade, but the war together, the people of our county would be destroyed, and even the Tianshan style would be destroyed. Therefore, I implore you to condescend for the time being, accept the reorganization, and work together to protect your homeland.

Secretary He said kind words, Du Gang and the other four knew it, and there was no other good way to do it at the moment. Du Gang also thought in his heart: Working together to drive away Master Tang and Guo Xunqi, there is Han'an County in the northeast as a barrier, and even Tianshan can sit back and relax, so the time to free up his hands to settle accounts with the blind man of Wumeng Mountain is not far away.
