Chapter 168: Almost Oolong
Zhu Zhen's heart was like falling into an ice cave, holding the teacup in his hand tightly, and his face was cloudy. Since the official success of the cash-for-work service, Zhu Ning'er has won the hearts of the displaced people, and the henchmen under Zhu Zhen have gradually surrendered to the past, and only the last few die-hard supporters instigated him to grit his teeth and pull up the team.
In fact, after leaving the camp of displaced people, Zhu Zhen began to regret it a little when he ate the first meal. On the construction site, there was white rice, some vegetables, and a little meat scrap every ten days and a half, but after leaving, if nothing else, the food had to be found by itself.
Even if they plundered the big households, they got limited supplies, and they had to live carefully after all. In the past, Zhu Ning'er was here, and he didn't need to worry about these small details, but now he has to make decisions about everything. Zhu Zhen, who was anxious, thought that he would get the promise of the Jingchu officials at that time and accept Zhao'an early, and he would not want to toss more after mixing with an official.
If this road doesn't work, then Zhu Zhen can only grit his teeth and attack the county seat, waiting for the opportunity in the future. But if you really do it, there will be deaths and injuries, Zhu Zhen hesitated.
After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said to Ye Xingyuan: "Ye Gongzi, don't speculate, how can I have such a heart? Since I took my brothers to uncover the rod, I naturally won't let go halfway, and I must earn a future for them." ”
Ye Xingyuan sneered and said: "Leader Zhu is obsessed and wants to go all the way to the dark? With more than 10,000 of you, can you really take down the nearby county town? Even if you can fight it, how can you defend it?"
Zhu Zhen was speechless, he never had a complete plan. Attacking the county seat is actually a slogan, which has not been implemented, and even if he really wants to plan the operation, he has not thought about it in the future.
Dinghu Province is the hinterland of Shenzhou, and its armament is relaxed. With the strength of the population, there may be a chance to attack a barren county town, but it is impossible to defend it. Either loot and withdraw before the arrival of the imperial army, hide in the mountains and forests, or turn into a rogue. Zhu Zhen never thought that far ahead.
He could only insist on: "Even so, we are good citizens and have no intention of making trouble, and the court is helpless to know that we are." Once we capture the county seat and shake the government and the opposition, we will inevitably send an advance envoy to Zhao'an, and we will also return to Tian Mo, and we will not dare to offend the heavenly army. ”
Ye Xingyuan laughed, mercilessly piercing his soap bubble-like fantasies. "So it's terrible not to study, although there have been things to recruit in the past dynasties, but if you attack the city and offend the authority of the court, which one of the first evils can get out of the way?
A group of displaced people were innocently hostaged, maybe the Son of Heaven sent a special grace to forgive their crimes and allow them to return to Tian Mo. Settle back in. But Leader Zhu leads you, but you can't go back to the past!"
Bravado. Raiding homes and robbing houses, this kind of thing can be tolerated by the imperial court. But attacking the county seat is to despise the authority of the imperial court nakedly, even if it is recruited, the first evil will be ambushed, otherwise how can it convince the people?
They said clearly," Zhu Zhen's face turned pale. Thinking of the words of the henchmen around him for a period of time, it seemed to be different from what Ye Xingyuan said, but Ye Xingyuan's words carried a fierce momentum, and he unconsciously believed it.
"Naturally, they lied to you. Ye Xingyuan sneered and said, "Loyalty is against the ear." Leader Zhu mistakenly believed people's words, now it is difficult to ride a tiger, you can't enter, you can't retreat, further is an abyss, and a step back is also a broken bone, I am thinking of everyone to get acquainted, I came to visit!"
Entering, attacking the county seat, Zhu Zhen's identity has naturally changed greatly, and now he is only a bandit, and he has become a thief when he turns around, which is certain death. retreated, waiting for Zhao'an, but no one must pay attention to it, and could only fend for itself in this Dinghu Province.
Zhu Zhen was ambitious, but now that Ye Xingyuan had exposed the rules, he suddenly found that he had fallen into a desperate situation, could he only wait for death? He was so moved that he couldn't hold the teacup in his hand, and when he fell to the ground with a thud, it shattered into thousands of pieces.
"Don't!" Zhu Zhen didn't have the intention of smashing the cup and killing people, he was not a decisive person in the first place, and he was even more in a trance at this time, where would he be so decisive. For fear that the knife and axe hand hidden behind the account would misunderstand, he hurriedly spoke out to stop it, but the voice echoed, empty, but no one rushed up.
Ye Xingyuan was taken aback, he is not a person who does not understand things, what does the order to smash a cup mean, it abounds in the book!
However, looking at Zhu Zhen's panicked expression, Ye Xingyuan muttered in his heart, could it be that the other party made a fuss about oolong? But if the other party killed himself because of the oolong, it would be a mistake.
After waiting for a while, there was no change, Ye Xingyuan remembered what Zhu Ning'er had said before, and he was relieved. Then he smiled and said: "Leader Zhu wants to imitate the name of smashing a cup and take my life? Why don't you see the knife and axe hand? Could it be that you can't even call this cronie? It seems that the situation of the leader is more difficult than I expected, and now that everyone has rebelled and left, where should I go?"
Zhu Zhen was discouraged, he had no intention of killing Ye Xingyuan, but the so-called cronies under him were also unreliable, which made him completely lose confidence. He collapsed in his chair, muttering to himself, "How can I be good?"
Ye Xingyuan smiled mysteriously and approached Zhu Zhen, "Why worry about Leader Zhu, I am here today to show you a clear path." If you listen to my plan, you will not only be able to survive this murderous disaster, but you will also be able to continue to be rich and prosperous, and you will be able to bless future generations, and you will be able to fulfill the wish of the leader. ”
Zhu Zhen seemed to grasp the last straw, thinking of Ye Xingyuan's name of "timely rain", he couldn't help but feel a little confident in his heart, and asked in surprise: "Brother Ye save me! It was I who didn't know the height of the sky earlier, offended my brother, and begged my brother to give me a way to live regardless of my previous suspicions!"
His title is easy to switch, once it is good, regardless of age, this brother is affectionate. Ye Xingyuan had a bad chill, but when he encountered such a villain who saw the wind and steered the rudder, he could only smile helplessly.
On the ridge, Zhu Ning'er stood in the wind, frowning slightly, looking at the scene in the camp from afar. Someone tiptoed up and reported to her in a low voice: "Miss, Shicai is a misunderstanding, Leader Zhu accidentally dropped the teacup, and he did not mean to harm Ye Gongzi, and now it has calmed down." ”
Zhu Ning'er nodded, "I knew that my father didn't have the courage, but Ye Gongzi had been in the camp for a long time, and he hadn't turned his face and left, did he really find a way to persuade his father?"
That person is Zhu Zhen's henchman, he has long been bought by Zhu Ning'er, and he is the most important chess piece buried next to Zhu Zhen. He scratched his head and said, "We don't know about this matter, Ye Gongzi and Leader Zhu finally lowered their voices, but they didn't know what to say. ”
Curiosity appeared on Zhu Ning'er's face, although she also expected that since Ye Xingyuan dared to come alone, he must have his own way, but she didn't know how to do it after all. She sighed in her heart, the lord is really capable of what people can't, and she doesn't know what means to use, so it's really impossible to speculate.
"Miss, Leader Zhu has sent Ye Gongzi out!" The henchman was sharp-eyed, and he saw Zhu Zhen nodding his head from a distance, and sent Ye Xingyuan out of the big tent, although he couldn't see the expression clearly, but he looked very flattering from his movements and figure, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
Zhu Zhen hated Ye Xingyuan to the core, and he was also clear, saying that due to the situation, Zhu Zhen did not dare to kill Ye Xingyuan, so he believed it. But before and after Gong, he actually whispered so lowly, what kind of magic power did Ye Xingyuan exert on him?
"Xiucai has the magical power of pure heart and holy sound, and can persuade people to be good, could it be that this Ye Xingyuan convinces the leader with his magical powers?" The henchman was also confused, and he couldn't figure it out.
Zhu Ning'er shook her head and smiled bitterly, "Ye Gongzi has unpredictable abilities, but he definitely didn't subdue my father with supernatural powers. Although my father is not a weapon, after all, he controls more than 10,000 homeless people, has no rank, and is really protected by the mandate of heaven, and this kind of supernatural power is helpless against him. ”
If a Xiucai could persuade the heads of ten thousand thieves with his pure heart and holy sound, then no one in this world would rebel, and he would have been persuaded by the imperial court to obey him.
The henchman also knew that this would be impossible, but he really couldn't understand how Ye Xingyuan could do it, so he could guess wildly on top of the ethereal supernatural powers.
"There's no need to guess. Zhu Ning'er looked at the direction Ye Xingyuan was traveling, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "He will come over to discuss with me in a while." I think so, trying to convince my dad that it would be impossible without my cooperation. ”
This self-confidence comes from strength, and if Ye Xingyuan wants to solve Zhu Zhen's problem, the most important thing is to find a way out for him. After all, Ye Xingyuan is a human being and not a god, and it is impossible not to use the power of the exiles that Zhu Ning'er now has.
I'm still useful to the lord! Looking at Ye Xingyuan's galloping figure, Zhu Ning'er felt a sense of pride in her heart. She waved her hand and repelled the others, and stood quietly on the top of the mountain, waiting for Ye Xingyuan to come.
Ye Xing saw Zhu Ning'er's fluttering figure in white from a distance, and knew that the other party was waiting for him on purpose, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart. This girl is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, her intelligence and strategy are so high that she is breathtaking, if it is in troubled times, she will have a place with her ability to guess people's hearts.
However, this kind of talent is easier to deal with, and it is not tiring to communicate, which is easier than dealing with Zhu Zhen and scaring and coaxing. Running to Zhu Ning'er, Ye Xingyuan grabbed the reins, nodded and smiled: "I know you will be here, I have already negotiated with Ling Zun, and I can find a way out for him." ”
And so it was. Zhu Ning'er admired in her heart, "Uncle is clever, Ning'er can't reach it." I don't know what Ning'er has to do in this way out, please just ask. ”
It's so easy to deal with. Ye Xingyuan felt even more comfortable, talking to Zhu Ning'er, he didn't need to say anything, the other party could grasp the point. The idea he came up with on a whim, of course, requires the cooperation of all parties to succeed.
If it can be done this time, it will kill two birds with one stone for Ye Xingyuan, and it will be a rare opportunity for the Zhu family's father and daughter. He jumped off his horse and said with an indifferent smile: "Miss Zhu is now the master of the displaced people, and when the north-south long canal was built in the past few years, these tens of thousands of people will obey you." Do you want this kind of obedience to be able to continue to maintain this authority and hold on to it?"
Zhu Ning'er was shaken and raised her head in disbelief. What is the lord saying, this is not a hint, he is already giving her a clear instruction......, right?
