After hearing what Lu Xiong said about Wang Fan and Zhu Hang, they realized how dangerous and fierce the murderous intent in the Tongbai Mountain banditry that had not been recognized by the world was. Their hearts were filled with turmoil, and they could not calm down for a long time.
And Cai Zheng sent his direct descendants to Tongbai Mountain to start a bandit rebellion, which can be said to have the advantage. Wang Fan and Zhu Hang did not expect that everyone in Zhufengtang would not only be able to ambush and kill all the dozens of confidants Cai Zheng sent to Tangzhou, but also
Dong Cheng, who was able to force him to go out to Tangzhou as a servant, did not dare to confront the local forces, so he had to hastily recruit 6,000 bandits to clean up the mess.
They came out of the state government office, accompanied Wang Zhen in the carriage, and briefly mentioned that Zhufengtang was a business company based on the Xu family in Tongbai Mountain, but they didn't pay much attention to it.
In their opinion, even if the head of Zhufeng Hall is considered a heroic figure in Tongbai Mountain, so what?
They did not expect that the first master of Zhufeng Hall would still stay in Tangzhou to take charge. The second master and fourth master were at Zhufeng Villa outside the city and could not make it to Kelan City. However, the third master here alone has an unparalleled scientific level.
Wu Yong, but a beautiful woman from the fifth head of the family has the ingenuity to completely manipulate Cai Ting's innermost feelings.
The eleventh master Yin Peng did not follow him to the courtyard at this time, but he was surrounded and protected all the way from the state government office. Zhu Hang saw that he had extremely extraordinary skills at a young age, and his expression was cold, so he also responded.
He has a sense of perseverance and pragmatism, and I secretly feel that such a person is definitely a rising star among the younger generation.
If only one or two people in Zhufengtang had such courage and courage, there would really be nothing to make a fuss about.
There are so many heroes in the world, and occasionally one or two heroes in each state or county stand out, but there is nothing worth making a fuss about.
However, there are at least a dozen heads of Zhufengtang, and if one of them is picked out at random, he has such a calm and courageous attitude. How can this not be shocking?
Zhu Hang had been an official for twenty years. Although his highest position was only general magistrate of one government, which was inferior to Dong Cheng, Guo Zhongxiong and others, he was the son of a former servant and the husband of the county lord. He also liked to make friends with heroes, and his disciples also
He attracts a lot of customers, and he also has some discernment.
Others did not mention it, but the butcher shop owner Zheng Tu stood in front of them and was arrogant, looking at him without any discomfort. The steward named Zhou Jing walked steadily, was strong and vigorous, and spoke and acted in an orderly manner. Obviously
It's not easy, but you can't get a top position in Zhufengtang.
It must be said that Zhu Hang still felt that Xu Huai, who was absent-minded, had a sluggish expression, and that his temperament was inferior to that of Zheng Tu, a butcher shop. He wasted a good body, but he could firmly sit in the third position of Zhufeng Hall, which was enough.
Doesn't it prove from the side that his martial prowess has surpassed the level of ordinary masters?
Of course, brothers Zhu Zhi and Zhu Tong were young and vigorous, but they still didn't care about it.
On the one hand, they thought that Lu Xiong was exaggerating. They even looked down upon Lu Xiong. With their backgrounds, it was rare for them to encounter such exaggerators in Bianjing. How could they just believe whatever others said?
On the one hand, Lu Xiong did not fully explain the disturbing and treacherous aspects of the Tongbai Mountain bandit, and some of the thrilling parts seemed a bit bland. It did not sound too thrilling, so it seemed ordinary.
As one of the items in the imperial examination of the current dynasty, Juelun Ke is different from the martial arts examination. It has lower strategic requirements. It is mainly used to select powerful middle and low-level military officials for the imperial army. Only eleven or two people stand out every three years, and the requirements are natural.
It's extremely strict.
Zhu Zhi and Zhu Tong had also heard about Guo Caoling's reputation, who liked to wield swords and guns, but in their view, assassination was not a serious and formal competition in the ring after all, and there was a big difference between the two.
Brothers Zhu Zhi and Zhu Tong did not know the specific details of Guo Cao Ling's assassination, but after hearing Zheng Tu say that the assassination was secretly planned by Yaksha Fox and Xu Huai was responsible for the implementation, they naturally concluded that they had used some trick to earn money from Guo Cao.
Age, no matter how you look at it, it’s not like Xu Huai, a guy who looks like a dull guy, really has that level of skill.
As for the battle of Huangqiaozhai, it is difficult to understand the danger unless you have experienced it personally.
In the eyes of the Zhu Zhi brothers, they had to annihilate one or two thousand gangster bandits at the cost of thousands of casualties. What was there to be proud of?
They followed their father Zhu Hang to serve in Jingjiang Prefecture. The Lingnan area was a place with poor mountains and harsh rivers, the barbarians were more ruthless, and there were many bandits. They followed the state many times to suppress the bandits, but every time they returned without great achievements, why did it appear that Tongbai Mountain was in chaos?
Special?
Of course, they were dissatisfied, but they still knew how to restrain themselves in front of Wang Zhen, Wang Fan and their father. At this time, they did not question randomly, but they were silently thinking in their hearts that they must find an opportunity to compete with this reckless tiger. Don't
Thinking that the little Tongbai Mountain is the whole world, this girl knows what Qingshan Tower outside the mountain is.
"The two gentlemen are indeed going to stay here in the next few days. I and Zhou Jing will arrange a few reliable women with quick hands and feet to come and take care of them - we will also leave for now, and will not hinder the two gentlemen and Wang Xianggong for the time being.
The young lady wants to talk about family affairs and wait for the banquet in the evening before meeting the two gentlemen!" Zheng Tu came forward in an elegant manner.
Zhu Hang, Zhu Zhi, and Zhu Tong were relatives of noble families, and were related to the Wang family. Of course, Xu Huai and Liu Qiong'er had to leave space to say some personal words to them. At the moment, Xu Huai and Liu Qiong'er
, Lu Xiong, Zheng Shou, Wang Kong and others resigned first.
…………
…………
There are still three or four jingshes in the Puyuan. One jinga is for Wang Zhen, Wang Fan and Wang Xuan's grandparents to live temporarily; the other jingshe is for Zhu Hang, Zhu Zhi, Zhu Tong and his son; Lu
Xiong, Zheng Shou, Wang Zhi and others also arranged to live in the clean and tidy courtyard.
Of course, Xu Huai could not wrong his own people. He, Liu Qiong'er, Yin Peng, and Zheng Tu went straight to the east and entered the monastery.
The prisoners have been incorporated into the Xiang Army. Not only did the more than a hundred Xiang Army soldiers have family members in Qalan City, but also a considerable number of family members of the prisoners who were sent to the Xiang Army followed them to Lanzhou for the convenience of taking care of them.
The jailers were so exploitative that many of their family members stayed in the prison camp for a little more comfort for their relatives who had come to Lanzhou for assassination, but they also spent all their wealth.
For example, Zhu Chengjun's nephew Zhu Shicong and his retainer Du Wu were sent to Lanzhou to take care of Zhu Chengjun. Before Xu Huai and the others came over, they had been exploited by the jailers and were reduced to poverty. They didn't even have the money to stay in a private house, so they had to sleep in the wilderness and suffer.
Many of the family members returned to their hometowns without any trouble and stayed in Lanzhou either begging for food or doing hard labor to make a living.
There are not too many people in Zhufeng Yuan, but the five hundred prisoners have family members stranded in Lanzhou. They will either support their travels to return home, or they will take them in directly. At this time, a few reliable women with quick hands and feet will be selected from among them to take care of Wang Fan.
The daily life of Zhu Hang and others is not that difficult.
Zheng Tu and Zhou Jing were left to deal with all these matters, and there was no need for Xu Huai or Liu Qiong'er to worry about it. They should go back to the courtyard where they lived temporarily to rest.
"Is there anything wrong with Zhu Hang and his son?" Liu Qiong'er was still a little confused as to why Xu Huai pretended to be an idiot in front of Zhu Hang and his son. He stood by the door and asked Xu Huai, "Are you worried about Guo Junpan, Pan Chenghu and Wang
Will Kong and others be won over by Zhu Hang and his sons?"
Although they initially thought that as kings, the only power Wang Fan and his son could rely on was to receive absolute attention, the appearance of Zhu Hang and his son weakened this expectation.
However, within Dai Viet, especially at this time, they were still unable to fight against Cai Ting's family. Having allies like Zhu Hang and his son would bring more advantages than disadvantages.
Brothers Zhu Zhi and Zhu Tong are a bit arrogant, but this is related to the fact that they were born in the Dingshi family.
They can even win over people like Guo Junpian and Pan Chenghu, so what can the Zhu family father and son not tolerate?
The reason Liu Qiong'er could guess was that Xu Huai might be worried that Guo Junpan, Pan Chenghu and others would get closer to the Zhu family and his son, so that they would try every means to gather the Tongbai Mountain bandits in the end.
Because of Guo and Pan, they made wedding clothes for the Zhu family and his son.
Such concerns may still arise.
Even if Wang Zhen was resurrected and returned to the center, they would nominally follow Wang Zhen's subordinates, Guo Junfan, Pan Chenghu, and the Xiang Army's deputy commanders, but Guo and Pan wanted people but no one, and they wanted money but no money.
It is not qualified to form its own series.
No matter how many Tongbaishan bandits are recruited by then, they will have to rely on them to find a way out.
Now that the Zhu family and his son have appeared, if Guo Junpan, Pan Chenghu and others follow closely and use the power of the Zhu family and his son to gather most of the Tongbai mountain bandits who can be incorporated, it will naturally weaken the power they can directly control in the future.
Liu Qiong'er guessed that Xu Huai had such thoughts and wariness, so he deliberately pretended to be an idiot in front of the Zhu family and his son, so as not to let them know his true face.
"I'm not as small-minded as you think. I was distracted just now because I was distracted, but where did you all think about it?" Xu Huai said with a bitter smile.
"Then what are you thinking about?" Liu Qiong'er asked.
"Before today, I had considered many things very clearly: If the attack on Yan is successful, Cai Qing's reputation in the court will be unparalleled for a while, and there will be no chance for Wang Zhen to revive; and if the attack on Yan is frustrated, the court will inevitably
There will be a lot of voices questioning the main war factions like Cai Zheng, and the return of Prime Minister Wang Chu will be a matter of course," Xu Huai said, "But think about it, if Prime Minister Wang Chu comes back, the inner forces he can directly mobilize are actually
What will the government and the public think of our Zhufengtang family? You have to know that the Dai Viet Court is harsh externally but full of wariness and vigilance internally. Will this become an obstacle to Prime Minister Wang Zhen's comeback?"
"Did you deliberately arrange for Wang Kong, Xu Zhong and the others to get closer to Mr. Wang Zhen and the others?" Liu Qiong'er asked with wide eyes.
"Yes," Xu Huai nodded and said, "Wang Fan's return from Chihu means that we can see the dawn of Wang Zhen's resurrection earlier, but the truth has not changed. Do you think I will reject Guo Junpan? Pan Chenghu
Are they fawning over the Zhu family father and son? I actually wish that was the case. Only in this way can our Zhufengtang not be too sharp and arouse others’ suspicion——"
"Then why do you have to pretend to be a fool?" Liu Qiong'er held her snowy cheeks, and suddenly thought of something, and said, "I understand, you must understand that no matter how good you are in front of Wang Fan, Wang Fan
No matter how much I value you, I will never recognize you as a frivolous son-in-law, so I just pretend to be an idiot and give up on this thought!"
