"General Chen Xian, the county guard, should know!" someone continued.
Yingbu's body trembled. He naturally knew Chen Xian, and even said that they all knew him.
When they fell into disgrace in Jiujiang and became bandits, they became the water thieves hated by everyone in Peng Zeshang. It was they who led the army to attack them.
They were not even eighteen years old at that time, they were still a group of half-grown children. As the water stronghold was breached, they were about to be beheaded.
But Chen Xian gave them a chance to survive, let them go, and persuaded them to join the army, which was how the Thunder Leopard Army came into being.
Therefore, strictly speaking, Chen Xian was a life-saving and reinventing benefactor to them.
"Let God decide!" Yingbu came to Pengze's side and picked up two pufferfish with his short halberd.
All the generals and commanders also understand!
Puffer fish is delicious, but it is also highly poisonous.
In Jiujiang, those who dare to eat puffer fish are warriors.
Yingbu is letting God decide whether they should stay or go.
If they don't die after eating puffer fish, it means that there is no end to their fate and they can join the rebel army.
As for death, everyone is dead, so what’s next?
Two pufferfish were eaten by the group.
Each found a shady spot to lie down under the shade of a tree, waiting for the wheel of fate to come.
The setting sun reflected on Pengze, glowing with layers of golden light.
Yingbu woke up from his sleep and looked at the robes around him.
Not many people could stand up again. Only a few people survived, and the rest had already died from the poison.
"Let's bury him well!" Yingbu sighed and buried his robe.
Then the group set out on their way to the rebel camp.
"I've met the Sheriff!" Yingbu and others knew that they were not qualified to see Jin Yao directly, and they didn't know how to meet Jin Yao, so they first came to see Chen Xian, the person who had given them a chance to live again.
"Who are you?" Chen Xian frowned, feeling somewhat familiar but unable to remember.
"Yingbu, Qiaohe, Moosang..." Yingbu and others said their names one by one.
Chen Xian still frowned, still unable to remember, but the name Yingbu was somewhat familiar.
"Pengze, Qingshui Village!" Yingbu said again.
"Oh! So it's you!" Chen Xian finally remembered, and then nodded happily when he looked at the strong and military-minded people.
"When it was said that the commander of the Thunder Leopard Corps was called Yingbu, I was still wondering if it could be you, but think about how it could be possible!" Chen Xian said with a smile.
"That's us!" Yingbu replied seriously, and then he led his subordinates to kneel in front of Chen Xian and said in unison, "Thank you so much, Sheriff, for your kindness back then!"
"It's really you!" Chen Xian was stunned. He really didn't expect that his intolerance back then would actually create the Thunder Leopard Legion, one of the four major legions of the Chu Kingdom!
But soon, Chen Xian was confused again, "Since you hold high positions in the Thunder Leopard Army, why did you return to Jiujiang! If Shouchun knows, you will be impeached!"
Yingbu and others looked at Chen Xian. Sure enough, the county guard was still the county guard back then. He always thought of them first.
"We have left the Thunder Leopard Legion!" Yingbu said.
Chen Xian frowned, but soon understood the truth behind it. After losing the war, and with no force as a guarantee, Shouchun and his gang would really have a problem if they did not blame them for the defeat.
"Come back when you come back. Now is the time for Jiujiang to employ people. Work hard and Jiujiang will be better in the future!" Chen Xian encouraged them again and did not intend to let them join the army to fight.
"We want to see Mr. Long!" Yingbu naturally understood what Chen Xian meant, but he still spoke.
Along the way, they were observing and found that Jiujiang was really different. It was in a state they had never seen before. Everyone was working hard and their eyes were full of hope.
This was the key to their decision.
Chen Xian frowned, looked at Yingbu and others, and said seriously, "Do you know what your decision means? Others will say that you betrayed the Lord and sought glory, leaving you with a lifetime of infamy!"
After all, Chen Xian was born in Confucianism and paid more attention to reputation, and he did not want people like Ying Bu to bear such a stigma like him.
"Doctor Sanlu once said that if you have a good heart, you will never regret it even if you die nine times. We just want to make our family live a better life, and we will never regret it even if we die!" Yingbu and others said solemnly.
It wasn't until they returned to Jiujiang that they realized that their real pursuit was just to make their families' lives better.
】
As the backbone and commander of the Thunder Leopard Corps, they also understood better the purpose of Chu State's reorganization of Tenglong, Thunder Leopard, Shadow Tiger and Kuaiji Navy.
Therefore, they do not hope that when their hometown faces Chu in the future, they will be unable to do anything.
"Alas~" Chen Xian sighed.
"Brother Chen, let them go!" Wu Rui also suddenly appeared behind Chen Xian and understood the ins and outs of the matter, so he said.
"I've met Governor Wu!" Yingbu and others naturally recognized Wu Rui's identity from his official uniform, so they hurriedly saluted.
"Come with me when you meet Mr. Long!" Wu Rui glanced at everyone and then motioned for them to follow.
"Mr. Long is not in the government office?" Yingbu and others followed Wu Rui to the edge of the newly built city tower and asked curiously.
Wu Rui smiled, and then pointed at the young man who was sitting on a beam and bragging with the surrounding migrant workers among the working crowd, "That's Mr. Long!"
"Ah?" Yingbu and others were all stunned. They had seen this man when they first entered the city and asked him for directions, but they did not expect that this was the world-famous Jiujiang Longjun.
"Surprising?" Wu Rui asked with a smile.
"Yeah!" Yingbu and others nodded.
"You'll get used to it!" Wu Rui shook his head.
They also tried to persuade them, but to no avail. Jin Yao said that this is a new home and cannot be faked. Every brick in the city wall must be inspected personally, otherwise it will be fake.
So we can only accept it as it is. After all, only Jinyao knows and can control this project best.
"Oh, Chang Shi has found a few more coolies!" Jin Yao naturally saw Wu Rui, Ying Bu and others, and even said that he had recognized Ying Bu's identity just now, but he was just too lazy to care.
"You're pretty strong, can you carry a hundred-jin boulder?" Jin Yao patted the shoulders of Yingbu and others and asked, testing their muscles.
"Ah? Okay!" Yingbu and others nodded dullly.
"Then go ahead and carry these huge stones for building the city to the city before dark, otherwise there will be no food to eat. Jiulong Palace does not support idle people!" Jin Yao continued.
"Okay!" Yingbu and others didn't know why they listened, and then several people actually carried a pile of huge rocks to the city and piled them up according to the instructions of the supervisor.
"How come we have become coolies?"
As night fell, Yingbu and his party, who were half exhausted, realized that they were here to work, so why did they just do hard work?
"Stop talking, I observed that Long Jun himself has never left the construction site for a day, and he has done no less than us!" Yingbu actually thought at first that Jin Yao was just engaging in formalism.
But after a day of observation, I discovered that Jin Yao really never stopped for a day, doing all kinds of work, dirty work, tiring work and fine work.
