Chapter 29 Surrounding
Xu Shiyang said this, but Old Man Hu was not as scared as before.
"Yes, don't worry, young master, I will never again." He nodded calmly: "I'm sure I will listen to the young master, and I will always follow the young master!"
Hu Lanshan is not afraid of Xu Shiyang getting angry, but is afraid of Xu Shiyang sneering.
Based on Old Man Hu’s past experience, Xu Shiyang became angry with his own people, but more regretful that he would not be able to make a living.
But if he sneered at someone, it was that he wanted that person's life.
This was the case with the Tartars before, and the manager Zheng Tianshou and Zheng just now would not be different.
Sure enough, when he heard Hu Lanshan express his loyalty, Xu Shiyang's evil fire dissipated a lot. He threw the old man aside and ordered:
"It's good to know! Now, go find the Lord Luan Fortress of 8 and the Lord Sun Fortress of 9, and ask them to bring weapons and trusted men to come to me."
"Affect the order."
‘Look for them? I knew you wouldn’t let Zheng Tianshou go.’
Old Man Hu was even proud of his guess at Xu Shiyang's thoughts early.
"Xu Er!"
"Master of Fort!" In front of him, a group of children who had just been rescued from the ogres' mouths rushed towards the temporary camp.
"We asked our people to be prepared, and also inform the newly arrived brothers Jie Zhen and Jie Bao to bring their weapons!"
"As for order!" After receiving the order, Xu Er did not leave directly, but asked: "Master, do you want to say something to the master and the second master?"
After all, this place is not 15tun, but the territory of the master of the Xu family. When dealing with people coming to trade here, it is easy for others to have bad associations and thus affect future markets.
"Just send someone to inform me."
Xu Shiyang thought about it and had to give some face to his elders no matter what.
Although he had decided to start a war for Fu Laishan, other than the core dock owner of the Xu family, no one knew about this news.
The men were still hoping to ambush Dao Ren Luo.
'Killing the third leader of Fulaishan is a great result.' Xu Shiyang thought with peace of mind: 'Also, it makes others think that the two families started a war because of my personal conflict with Zheng Tianshou, which is also beneficial for hiding the real purpose.'
...
Zheng Tianshou, the third leader of Fulaishan, is in a good mood today.
He brought the chef to the Xu family market, and the young lord who had taken the wrong medicine for the Xu family was filled with it in one breath.
Moreover, it is used for silver!
These days, silver is rare. I am afraid that even the boss will be jealous if he takes dozens of taels back in one go?
Of course, a large part of them belongs to the boss, and the other shopkeepers also score a little, but the remaining part must be the parties involved in the transaction that they are getting the biggest benefits.
With the money, even if there is something unexpected happening in the copycat, I will have a way out.
Even if the money is enough, he can find an opportunity to go to Jiangnan when the copycat is still there, buy a piece of paddy field, and be a rich man safely!
So, after getting Xu Shiyang's money, Zheng Tianshou brought a group of confidants with him to eat a heavy basket of steamed cakes (that is, steamed buns) to win people's hearts, and then..., he left the Xu family's first village and prepared to return to the mountain village.
As for the task of buying salt..., haha, there is actually no hurry.
Anyway, the elderly bandits of their leaders and confidants have always been short of salt.
As for the other bandits who went up the mountain to seek a way out, who cares about their life or death?
Still money is important!
Zheng Tianshou had two steamed cakes in his arms and a gourd of wine, and walked proudly towards the north gate of Xujiawu Fort.
Behind him were 10 elderly bandits and more than 20 newbies who came to do miscellaneous work.
These are Zheng Tianshou's "his own people" and the capital for him to settle down in Fulaishan.
Especially those old bandits, who had eaten two-legged sheep with Zheng Tianshou and slept with Xiaoniang, were all living things. When he got the right equipment, he would try his best to equip these old bandits - these people are equivalent to personal soldiers.
If they are lost, Zheng Tianshou's status in Fulaishan will be greatly reduced, so he is willing to give these old bandits some small favors.
"Brothers, I am happy today! When I return to the village, let's go to the back mountain to pick up a few clean girls and have fun!"
There are three main peaks in Fulai Mountain, guarded by three leaders. Zheng Tianshou himself guards Feilai Peak. What he mentioned naturally refers to the south side of Feilai Peak, where there are novices who have just climbed the mountain, many people and families, among which are very clean women.
The old bandits usually like to go there for fun, and bullying is no different from being opposed to being a mountain.
"Thank you for the reward!"
The novice followed the last tremblingly, not daring to say a word - they lived in the back mountain themselves.
The old bandits laughed and responded to Zheng Tianshou, and even began to joke with each other, discussing who should spend the night with their wife and daughter.
While chewing the sweet white steamed cakes and occasionally taking a sip of wine, the group walked out of the fort gate with a hint of arms and laughed wildly.
They were so proud that they didn't notice it at all. The north gate of the fort, which was supposed to be bustling because of the opening, was so quiet that there was an extra solemn atmosphere.
Xu Jiatunding, who was guarding the gate of the fort, stood on the earth wall, holding a soft bow and wooden gun, and watched nervously as the gang of robbers walked out of their fortress. Many people's fingers that were holding the gun handle were white.
With a creak, the wooden door closed behind Zheng Tianshou, and Tunding also added two heavy latches.
"Hmm?" Zheng Tianshou realized that the situation seemed to be a little wrong: "What's going on? Why did it close at this time?"
The old bandits also looked at the earth wall behind them in confusion. At this angle, they could only vaguely see the heads of wooden guns erected high among the stacks.
It was dense, as if it was dozens of shots.
"Not good! The Xu family wants to do it!"
It seemed as if a bucket of cold water was poured from beginning to end. The Sandang, who was floating in the mountain, threw the wine gourd in his hand, pulled out his waist knife with a choke, and stared at the closed Xu family gate fiercely.
The other bandits had not yet reacted for a while, and someone stared at the vigilant third leader for a while before he pulled out his weapons to prepare for the war.
More than 10 elderly bandits stared at the walls, fearing that they would throw rolling stones, thunders or archery from above. Although the fort had only soft bows to hunt foxes and rabbits, the bandits were not wearing armor, and a thin dress could still be fatal if they were shot by an arrow.
A group of people slowly retreated beyond the range of the earth wall until they hit someone else.
"Bastard! Why are you stunned at this time?"
Zheng Tianshou cursed in a low voice, but this time he turned around, he was stunned like those ignorant novices.
Chapter completed!
