"I am also willing to take the second-place Duke as the leader of the alliance."
Some people responded, and others followed. In a moment, a few people in the twenty-three families responded, and more than half hesitated. As soon as the covenant was established, it was too late to regret it. Although it was not to say that they had abandoned the Lord, but they regretted it, they were left behind.
The alliance's reputation has invisibly suffered a lot.
When Lu Shangjing saw it, she smiled: "You may have doubts, just make a decision after seeing the alliance paper."
He seemed to be smiling but not smiling as he spoke. He looked at the visitor and said no more words.
Everyone passed it on one by one and saw that it was very clear. Now every family is benefiting from the Ye family's industry. Now there are gangs everywhere, and if you want to be protected by the Ye family, you must make a covenant and have restrictions. Then
Advance and retreat together.
Some people looked at it and lost the smile on their faces, but secretly said to their companions: "The Ye family had a shallow foundation at the beginning and catered to us, so they only shared their property with us, without any restrictions or donations."
"Now that the Ye family has gradually stabilized over the past few years, they no longer need to cater to us. That's why this happened - even if there is no bandit group, I'm afraid it will still be like this in three years at most."
"In the future, the alliance's wine industry, newspaper industry, and other industries will only be able to share in the alliance's participation."
When he said this, everyone was immediately awestruck and started talking among themselves.
After a while, the gongs and drums sounded, which was the urging. Some people who had already made up their minds expressed their stance again: "Mr. Bang Second, the alliance is now in a mess. It needs to be restrained in this way so that all families can live in peace and prosper together. Our Cao family is willing to join the alliance.
When everyone saw it, it was Cao Hushan and He Mao, and they felt contempt in their hearts. These two families came out to support them again. However, looking at the covenant, it was quite reasonable. Each family's industry still remained independent, but they had to send troops when necessary and pay.
Fees maintain the terms of the alliance.
Immediately, more people came out to respond, and within a short time, half of the time had passed.
After meeting half of them, Ye Qing felt relieved. It was done at this point. After waiting for a while, several families still left. After counting, four families left.
Lu Shangjing smiled and said: "The strong wind knows the strong grass, and the rough wind knows the honest minister. It's a pity, but it's a good thing. Someone, please remove these four companies from the list, and liquidate them into shares within half a month. My family will buy them at a fair price."
Then he said: "We have all the alliance partners, please come over."
Everyone was scornful again and thought to themselves: "I have already planned it, and I just pushed him a few times in a pretentious manner."
Immediately, we went over together and saw the platform. Since it was the most common covenant, it was not of a high level. It was just a small altar made of a layer of loess.
At this time, they quickly put up the flags of the Ye family, and the nineteen surrounding families also put them up in a circle, with the copper leader's seal on them, and showed them to everyone.
Everyone is even unable to complain. This is obviously not a day-to-day idea.
Immediately, Ye Qing was invited to board the earth altar. Ye Qing was now fully clothed and armed with a sword, and stepped forward with great emotion. At this moment, a cavalry arrived not far from the camp. It was already dark. This was Lu Qing.
bright.
This was a critical moment. Although Lu Ming was the county magistrate, Zhou Feng led his troops to block it: "County Lord, my Lord is meeting with all the adults for an alliance. This is the time for the oath of alliance. If you come earlier, you will be an honored guest. Now
Please enter slowly to avoid ruining the luck of the covenant."
But he was determined not to let Lu Ming enter.
Lu Ming thought for a while and waved his hand to stop the soldiers. In any case, Ye Qing is now a seventh-rank Hanlin scholar, and his status is equivalent to his own, and he is qualified to fight against him. He said at the moment: "If you have a high place, I can see you outside.
"Please," Zhou Feng said quickly.
We climbed up on the guard tower at the entrance of the camp. The camp was not big. At a glance, we could see the torches surrounding it and everything was clearly visible.
At this time, there was a person on the earth altar. When I took a closer look, I saw this young man, his eyes were like paint, and he was energetic and energetic. He was meeting at the alliance at the moment. The man said: "It is unfortunate for me to live a long life. Bandits are everywhere. The thieves take advantage of provocations and indulge in harm."
, bringing trouble to the gentry and abusing the common people, we will form an alliance, the one below will protect his own family, and the one above will suppress the bandits to bring peace."
"All our allies will work together to learn from our ancestors and gods."
After finishing speaking, his attitude was calm and his demeanor was heart-warming.
At this moment, the people who were meeting below all bowed down in unison: "I am willing to join the alliance and obey the orders of the alliance leader."
Talking about this covenant, that is, you bow like this when making an alliance. You don’t bow at ordinary times, but this time you bowed, you can see a trace of white air coming out of the middle of the altar. It was light at first, but it was gathering, and gradually became stronger, and there was a hint of white air.
Honglai
Finally, it turned into a white-red smoke cloud. Strangely enough, the smoke cloud seemed to have eyes, and it steadily condensed on the Ye family's flag and the alliance leader's seal. It condensed for a long time and did not disperse, until it gradually merged with Ye Qing and the Ye family.
The family luck is connected and gradually disappears. This is stable.
Ye Qing felt his heart skip a beat. The White Virtue, which was originally the fourth level, immediately rose all the way to the top. As long as he went back and adjusted, the White Virtue would be perfect and promoted to Red Virtue.
This was an unexpected surprise, and he immediately smiled and said: "Although Qing is not talented, since I have been elected as the leader of the alliance by everyone, I should uphold the covenant. Those who have merit will be rewarded, and those who are guilty will be punished. Everyone should abide by it and do not violate it."
Seeing that everyone had responded, he added: "It's late at night. Since all the families have formed an alliance, it's time to raise the troops without further delay. But first, you go put on your armor and eat."
After all this was agreed upon, all the heads of the nineteen families were soaked in clothes and exhausted. They all felt good at the moment and rode back to their tents to change clothes and eat.
At this time, Lu Shangjing also felt wet and cold all over her body, but she said nothing. Seeing them and the militiamen, they immediately disappeared into the night tent under the cold wind and rain, and orders were passed down one after another.
"Master, why don't you go back to your tent and change clothes first?" Lu Shangjing said upon seeing this.
When Li Huaiji saw the alliance, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "My lord is really worthy of being a great man. Who dares to say that the Ye family has a shallow foundation now?"
He immediately followed him. Ye Qingning looked at Li Huaiji and said, "Huaiji, your clothes are already wet, so there is no need to talk at this time. You can go take a shower and change clothes first, and then come to my tent to eat and discuss together. How about that?"
At the sentry post, Zhou Feng was a little confused. He saw Lu Ming looking at Lu Ming in deep thought, but had to wait for him to wake up.
Arriving at the main camp tent in a short while, Ye Qing stood up and lay down, brows contemplating.
Under the warm and bright glass light, Qianqian was helping him take a shower. There was no one else in the tent at this time, so she asked: "Husband, why were you hesitant just now? Didn't you praise this person highly in the past?"
In private, Ye Qing did not hide anything from her, saying: "I have some things, and speaking of it... it is really appropriate to teach this person, but it will make him more dangerous - very dangerous."
In my memory, this person is a strange scar in this world. Perhaps he has suffered a lot from ghosts and gods. This person will have materialistic tendencies in the future. The world is different. He is anti-scientific by comparing himself to the earth.
No more tolerant than some countries on earth. In this world, such a tendency is actually very dangerous. If you are exposed to some knowledge of the earth,
Although the application of this knowledge in this world is very limited, even this fire thunder is not a chemical reaction, but uses the idea of "expansion of gas to produce explosive force", and uses fragments of spiritual stones that also achieve this effect.
Qianqian was shocked: "Will it be dangerous for the young master?"
Ye Qing thought and shook his head: "It is not dangerous to me, but to others. Tens of millions of people will regard him as a target and a thorn in their flesh. You can imagine the huge backlash..."
"Will it affect Heaven?"
"That's not true. After all, the world is... different. The impact is more on the mortal world and cannot be far away from the eyes of immortals. However, your young master is only a mortal. You little girl has such a big tone, so you are not afraid of being laughed at."
"That's it..." Qianqian was not afraid of being laughed at by others. She tilted her head and thought for a moment before covering her mouth and laughing: "Everything depends on use... This is what my husband taught me."
After running into the tent, she took out a small flower pot, buried a peach core in the black soil, and poured some water. With a flash of inspiration, she used her quick-witted farming technique.
The seeds germinate, take root, absorb, and grow into a peach seedling at a speed visible to the naked eye. The branches and leaves are full of aura, but at the same time, the color of the soil quickly dims.
Finally, when the soil becomes dusty, the peach seedlings will quickly wither...
Qianqian sighed, raised her head, her eyes were clear and serious: "It doesn't want to be confined to this flower pot, it wants a wider and richer soil... But if it is placed here, it can only grow so big."
Ye Qing stared into her clear eyes, which seemed to have a sincere and mysterious charm, which made him feel an inexplicable touch in his heart, and many indescribable feelings came over him.
In the end, he just touched her head: "Smart girl."
But he already understood her metaphor - how much basic strength you have, how much danger you can withstand. This is a relative principle.
Qianqian was holding her small flower pot and was digging out the peach seedlings' stumps from the dry soil. She saw that they were dead: "It failed to bloom and bear fruit. Qianqian was very sorry for it... I overused the farming method.
Good things can turn into bad things, and even Qianqian can become very dangerous."
"It doesn't matter. You lost a peach tree for me, and I will give you a better one later."
"Okay, let's not talk anymore... Master, come and try on these clothes."
At this time, a low military bugle sounded outside the camp... After a moment, the door opened, and a large number of people poured out of each tent. At this time, Lu Ming looked up and saw that the number of troops was already thousands...
"Your Excellency" saw that the uniforms of these troops were different and not uniform, but they were all in full armor: "This is a coalition of various armies in the county. Maybe the elites of each arm are here."
Normally this kind of gathering would be a big problem, but now that life and death were at stake, Lu Ming quickly ordered: "Stop quickly and inform them that we are coming."
In the rain curtain, the cavalrymen tore off their raincoats and bamboo hats one by one and shouted: "Mr. No. 2, please stay, the county magistrate is here."
The sound gradually became uniform and spread far and wide, playing the first distinctive accent note of the night. Ye Qing was startled and looked over.
At this moment, somewhere in the north, the light of the sword flew quickly to the west and plunged down from the thick black clouds.
Farther to the south, a dark army emerged from the woods like a ghost and passed through the official road. A Taoist waved to a general to lead the army forward. He stopped to inspect the fresh battlefield marks and held a piece of the army melted by the blazing light.
Shattered Limbs, frowned, thought for a moment, and followed the team.
