Chapter 89: Blending into the Rebels
Although it was getting late, it was said that Mandaozhong was still busy.
Xiang Yong and his entourage were taken directly to the city hall, and after waiting for about half an hour, they were cordially received by Wan Daozhong, the leader of the Ibaraki rebel army.
Xiang Yong and others expressed their admiration and respect for the personal chivalrous name of Wandaozhong, and expressed their willingness to join the great cause, while Wandaozhong welcomed the arrival of all chivalrous warriors and promised to give them corresponding status and treatment.
The joining of Xiang Yong and others is just a trivial matter, he heard when he chatted with the rebel army leading the way before, and now there are people from the rivers and lakes who come to vote every day, and there are many congenital strongmen.
Compared with the innate powerhouse, Xiang Yong and the others really have no advantage in their cultivation.
Xiang Yong and the others were able to get the time to see Wan Daozhong personally, mainly because of Xiang Yong's status bonus as a "disciple of Beihe Venerable", and the fact that he had made significant contributions to the rebel army and sent two boxes of precious magic crystals to the rebel army.
Xiang Yong and others did not discuss the specific positions they held during the meeting.
After the meeting, Wan Daozhong asked people to take Xiang Yong and others to settle down.
Judging from the accommodation arrangement, Wan Daozhong does attach more importance to Xiang Yong.
They were housed in a courtyard not far from the town hall.
Six people share a courtyard, which is the treatment only of important leaders of the rebel army.
This is a typical courtyard in the traditional style of the Dashun Empire, which is more classical than Wang Jianlong's courtyard.
But the area is much smaller, and the decoration and furnishings are far inferior to Wang Jianlong's house.
However, it is more than enough for six people.
Soon after Xiang Yong and the others moved in, three people came and knocked on the door with food, and when they asked, they knew that they were the servants assigned to them in the Ten Thousand Daos, responsible for heavy work such as sprinkling and cleaning the house.
One of them was a young girl, and Wan Daozhong instructed her to serve Li Xiumei closely.
"Brother Sheng, Wan Daxia really values you enough," Li Xiumei, who pretended to be Xiang Yong's fiancΓ©e, said with a smile, and then looked at the young girl seriously, "But please thank the big leader for me, I am also a child of the rivers and lakes, and I don't need anyone to serve me." "She's here to find out information, how could she leave an unidentified maid by her side.
The girl was supposed to be a local, born and raised, and had never seen much of the world, and there was always a kind of cringe in her eyes, like a bunny facing a group of carnivores, and she did not dare to speak loudly. She lowered her head and moved her lips slightly in anger: "Woman Li, the big leader has given an order, please don't embarrass me." β
Li Xiumei smiled: "Then don't embarrass me, okay? Otherwise, this is my brother's senior sister, you go and serve her." β
The girl lowered her head and peeked up timidly, just in time to meet Fan Xiaoyue's scrutinizing gaze, she was suddenly startled and buried her head deeply.
Fan Xiaoyue said: "I think this is not bad. You can follow me during this time, the big leader will not blame you. But then again, I am also a child of the rivers and lakes, and I have never been taken care of, if there is anything that is not good, please take more responsibility. β
The two servants beside her, visibly bolder, burst out laughing, but the girl remained standstill, bewildered.
And so it was settled.
There are enough rooms in the yard for each person to sleep in, and finally there is no longer a need to awkwardly squeeze two people into a room.
Night Ruri was a little stunned, but she didn't write her expression on her face.
It was night, and everyone slept peacefully. Xiang Yong said in advance that when he and others first arrived, it was best not to do anything too eye-catching, no matter what the plan was, wait a few days before talking.
As a result, the wait was several days, and Wan Daozhong did not meet them again, and his duties were not arranged. Of course, the three servants did not leave.
In the past few days, Xiang Yong sent everyone out and asked everyone to try to make a few friends. It is not necessary to find out any information, but we cannot continue to be isolated.
He himself hid in his room, using the materials exchanged from the main god to craft magic weapons and talismans for the battle that might arise at any time.
According to the information that Li Zhiping and his people inquired, the rebel army has not made any movement in the past few days, has not tried to expand its territory, and seems to be content with the status quo.
Strangely, there was no movement on the part of the Empire.
Li Xiumei was worried about being watched, so she didn't dare to use a small telegraph to contact the imperial capital in the past few days, and she didn't know what the latest decisions the empire had now.
On the fifth day, Xiang Yong felt that the heat was almost over, so he took his teammates and Li Xiumei to the city hall early in the morning to see Wan Daozhong.
This time they didn't wait long, and soon someone led them to the office of Wandaozhong.
The office of Wandaozhong is the former mayor's office, which is relatively intact, and the vases, various antique furnishings, calligraphy and paintings purchased by the former mayor are basically intact.
Wan Daozhong was sitting behind a large desk, writing hard, and a young and handsome man was turning through pages of documents for him, whispering from time to time.
In a few corners, there are several people from the rivers and lakes standing or sitting, all of whom are building foundations and cultivating skills, carrying swords and murderous spirits.
After Wan Daozhong corrected the last word, he raised his head, shook his sore wrist, got up and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao, have you rested well these days?"
Xiang Yong smiled and said, "If you don't move, the bones should be rusty." If Brother Wan has any send, let it be commanded. β
"It's only a few days of leisure," Wan Daozhong sighed, "There will be a series of fierce battles soon, and I hope that Brother Xiao can fight bravely to kill the enemy when the time comes." β
Xiang Yong replied casually: "That's a certainty." I don't know what Big Brother Wan is going to arrange for the younger brother to do?"
Wan Daozhong's eyes were blazing, "Brother Xiao's skills are naturally excellent, but marching and fighting are very different from the usual battles of our Jianghu people. β
Xiang Yong nodded: "Brother Wan is right. β
At this time, it's good to be a salted fish that can only shout 666, and Wan Daozhong will naturally let the topic continue.
"I wonder what Brother Xiao is good at in addition to martial arts? Have you ever read a military book or learned arithmetic?"
Xiang Yong shook his head: "I'm sorry, the younger brother is a martial artist, and I disappointed the eldest brother." I can't do anything else, but if I can be by my brother's side and protect my brother's safety, I am still confident that I can do a good job. β
Xiang Yong's request was also well thought out. After all, he and the others are not familiar with Wan Daozhong, and it is impossible for Wan Daozhong to entrust him with important tasks as soon as they meet.
Instead of going out to play with a patrol, or going to the front line to fight life and death, it is better to follow Wan Daozhong's side, and it is also convenient to find out the secrets about Sheng Du.
If you don't take the initiative to ask for power, you can also dispel some of the concerns in Wandao.
Sure enough, Wan Daozhong laughed, and was about to speak, when a man with a sword suddenly interjected mockingly: "You are a junior in the acquired realm, I don't know where you got the confidence to protect the safety of Brother Wan?"
