Chapter 607: Choosing the Way (2)
said goodbye to Lu Tianhao, resolved the slight grudge between the two, and finally returned to Taolin Town.
When he returned to the town, he changed his clothes and covered up the injuries on his body, and Ruan Zun didn't care about anything else, so he went to see the progress of the construction of the Fengyun Spirit Courtyard.
After not seeing each other for many days, the infrastructure of the Fengyun Spirit Courtyard is more complete, and a grand atmosphere can be seen from afar.
Looking at the asymmetrical couplet, Ruan Zun muttered: "The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying...... The world is out of my generation......"
"Young master, you're back!" Du Shen and Xia Guiren heard the news and took the lead in coming out of the spiritual courtyard.
"What's going on in Peach Blossom Mountain these days?" asked Ruan Zun.
"It's nothing else, I just heard that the people from Qingfeng Mountain have gone up the mountain, and I want to ask Zhou Tong to give an explanation for Wang Ying's disappearance, as well as the young master's fight with Zheng Tianshou in Erlong Mountain. Zhou Tong said clearly, he was worried. Fortunately, the young master is back, and it is estimated that Zhou Tong will soon find the young master to ask about something. ”
"Hmm. I'll deal with him then. No, I'm going to see him now. After hastily inspecting the construction of the Spiritual Courtyard, Ruan Zun once again asked Ou Peng to prepare the carriage and prepare to go to Taohua Village.
"Young master, I don't think you should go to this peach blossom village. "Ou Peng's face is difficult," the news of Erlong Mountain, I am afraid that it has spread to the Peach Blossom Village at this time. Young master, as a dark chess piece planted by the Demon Suppression Palace, how can Zhou Tong be compatible? Maybe, he is now in the magic knife Huo Huo, ready to take the young master. ”
"Zhou Tong is not Deng Long, his hostility to the government is not so deep. If Peach Blossom Mountain wants to survive, it is inevitable to deal with the government under the mountain. If you don't deal with it, the elixir of Peach Blossom Mountain can't be sold. Ruan Zun said, "What's more, first, the Heavenly Taoist Sect asked the imperial court for Erlong Mountain as a fief, and since then there is no direct confrontation with the imperial court, Erlong Mountain is the head of the three bandit mountains in Qingzhou, Erlong Mountain's move, Taohua Mountain is naturally happy to follow up; second, I have a great use for him, and I have a great use for Zhou Tong." ”
Simply cleaned up, rode lightly, and still took Ou Peng and Wu Ya to Peach Blossom Village. The fewer people who know about Erlongshan and his party, the better, and Ou Peng and the others know more.
Soon arrived at Peach Blossom Village. Sure enough, Taohuazhai had already gotten the news, and when they heard his arrival, they quickly strengthened their guard patrols. A team of thieves guarded the mountain, and he was not allowed to enter.
"Hurry up and report! I want to see the lord of the village!" Ruan Zun shouted to the bandits on the wall.
Zhou Tong was already behind the wall, and when he heard the words, he flashed out, holding the overlord spear, with an angry face, and pointed the gun at Ruan Zun: "Ruan Zun, you say, what am I sorry for you? After you came to Peach Blossom Mountain, I didn't care about you killing Li Zhong, I trusted you completely, and wanted to establish a career with you." If you want to build Taolin Town, I will ask you for money and money, and people for people. But now you're doing this to me?"
"Lord Dazhai, for your acceptance and trust, thank you, I have said it countless times, and I won't say much here. Ruan Zun looked at him neither humbly nor arrogantly, "If you want to explain anything else, I won't say much, I'll just ask you, Lord Zhou Dazhai, have you ever done anything unfavorable to you since I came to Peach Blossom Mountain?"
Before Zhou Tong could answer, an old man beside him had already spoken out and scolded: "After you came to Peach Blossom Mountain, have there been fewer incidents in this village? Now, knowing that you are a spy sent by the Demon Suppression Palace, the reason for these incidents is finally understood!"
"I haven't done anything that is not good for this village!" Ruan Zun argued, "What I did, Lord Zhou Zhai knew in his heart!"
"Ruan Zun, your strength is not what it used to be, the vitality of this village has not recovered, and I will not fight with you today. Zhou Tong said coldly, "You go back to Taolin Town to pack up your things, and then go back to your Demon Suppression Palace, from now on, you and I are like passers-by." The next time we meet, we will be enemies!"
He also learned the news just now, the spy stationed in Erlong Mountain, the flying pigeon reported that the owner of Erzhai turned out to be a spy who was planted by the Demon Suppression Hall to enter Erlong Mountain, which was also clearly proved in the public.
He was annoyed and upset. Ruan Zun, this kid, has a personality and practices, which are quite in line with his own wishes, especially when there is a shortage of people in Taohua Village, his appearance is like timely rain. The future he plans coincides with the copycat future he has planned.
Therefore, he is willing to take out a town and a lot of manpower and material resources to confirm this kid's concept.
"Master of the village, don't be in a hurry to say no more. Ruan Zun said, "The situation is different. Erlongshan has agreed to accept the reward of the imperial court, and in the future, Erlongshan will be the fief of their Heavenly Taoism, and the officials and troops will never be expropriated. Do you know what that means?"
"What!" Zhou Tong and the others were all taken aback, it was the first time they had heard the news that Erlong Mountain had made peace with the imperial court.
"The imperial court has a large number of troops around Erlong Mountain, and after Erlong Mountain accepts the reward fief, it will no longer be an enemy of the imperial court. Ruan Zun said, "Then in the next step, Qingfeng Mountain and Peach Blossom Mountain in Qingzhou are the thorns in the eyes of the imperial court." Dazhai master, comfortable days, not a few days!"
The news that Ruan Zun said was very important and sensitive, Zhou Tong didn't dare to believe it, and hurriedly ordered someone to check it again. However, he said that he didn't dare to believe it, but in fact, he and the surrounding high-level people of Peach Blossom Mountain had already believed it for at least seven or eight points.
"What do you mean by saying this?" Zhou Tong put down his spear, and his face softened.
"I just want to tell the lord of Dazhai that even if I am a person from the Demon Suppression Palace, it will not affect my actions in Peach Blossom Mountain, I can still continue to be the second village lord of Peach Blossom Mountain and the mayor of Taolin Town!" Ruan Zun was very confident.
"Ridiculous! Let a spy of the government be the second village master, the mayor of Taolin Town!" Immediately, many people from Taohuashan jumped out to oppose it.
"And in this position, the promise I made is still exactly the same as before, that is, I want to make Taohuashan the most powerful force in Qingzhou and even Shandong!" Ruan Zun looked at Zhou Tong a little defiantly, "Do you dare to continue to use me?"
Zhou Tong looked at him, as if considering the credibility of his words.
"I can't believe him! He's a spy! He's been lying to us for a long time!" the bandits from Peach Blossom Mountain refused to agree.
"If Taohuashan wants to survive, grow and develop, it cannot be achieved by relying on a counter-flag against the imperial court, but by cooperating with the imperial court to obtain huge political and economic benefits. Ruan Zun continued, "Lord Dazhai, if you think about it carefully, with the current strength of Peach Blossom Mountain, will it be difficult for the imperial court to really want to destroy us?"
"Why? It is because the spiritual grass resources on Peach Blossom Mountain are abundant, and this is our capital! Once this capital is lost, Peach Blossom Mountain will no longer have any value! There is no value to the imperial court!"
