"Aren't you going to wait for Mrs. Bai?" Da Siming was forced into a corner with his hands held, and felt embarrassed for a moment. He knew that this matter was going to be discussed, but he never thought of being in such a hurry, so he could only focus on it.
Talk about her.
"Where is Sanniang now?" Zhang Xing naturally wanted to ask about this.
"We arrived at Galloping Horse City on the other side of the Sea of Bitterness four days ago." Da Siming introduced. "She should be faster than you if she rides alone. She should arrive in the next two days."
"Indeed." Zhang Xing thought for a moment and shook his head in response. "But it doesn't matter, this matter is my duty, and she is not the only one left to do it... What do you think of Da Siming? Can you agree to merge the two families into one?"
Okay, here we go again.
Knowing that he had nowhere to dodge, the chief commander finally said seriously: "There are so many things going on, how can Chief Zhang unify them so easily?"
"Time waits for no one." Zhang Xing replied simply, still holding the other person's hand without letting go. "Sometimes you can think about everything, but it's just a thought."
The great commander became more and more speechless.
"Although time waits for no one, Chief Zhang should also know that haste leads to waste." Lan Dawen, one of the three commanders standing outside the stone lobby, came back to his senses and took the initiative to explain to his chief commander.
"Lan Siming misunderstood." Zhang Xing looked back at this person and said. "When I said there is no one waiting for me when the time comes, I don't mean to help, but I mean to fight against the demon guards... It means that there is no time for anyone to fight against the demon guards, so we, the gang, are the first to come to the rescue.
.”
The room was awkward on the spot. I guess no one would have chatted with these people in Northland on weekdays. I didn't know how to deal with it for a moment.
After a long pause, Da Siming sighed again: "Chief Zhang has a greedy tongue."
"Talk is born in the human body and is a basic skill for dealing with people. It would be a good thing if it can be more powerful." Zhang Xing said with a smile. "However, it is related to the belonging of millions of people. I think Da Siming and several Siming
Even if my words are unfavorable, there must be something in my heart, so no matter how sharp my words are, they cannot turn black into white. And if it hits the point, it would be ridiculous to say that my words are just words."
"Then I dare to ask what Chief Zhang has hit on us?" Mrs. Lu's biological father, Black Pine Guards Commander Lu Dun, suddenly said coldly. "Is this the time that we can't wait for you?"
"This is certainly one of them."
"Don't you wait for us when we fight against the Demon Guard?"
"yes."
"What are you waiting for?"
"When the Demon Guards are in danger of disappearing, they will regret it endlessly."
"The Demon Guard is in danger of extinction..."
"Of course."
The stone lobby became quiet again.
Zhang Xing still held Da Siming's hand, turned around and looked around the hall, obviously puzzled: "Isn't it common knowledge that the Demon Guards are in danger of extinction? If not, why would I come here? Just kill them.
Wouldn't it be enough to build three cities and two defenders in the south, then return to Yecheng to establish the country, and take advantage of the situation to sign a nominal subordination contract with all parties in the north? Why do you have to come here in person? "
The few commanders were really close to talking, and they were a little confused for a moment... They didn't understand how the other party could say such nonsense and absurd things in such a high-sounding way.
Is this Demon Guard, which has been passed down for thousands of years, really going to die?
This is impossible!
Zhang Xing turned back to look at the old fat man in black cloak beside him, and said sincerely: "Don't you know, Da Siming? If even you don't know, then I really came here in vain."
The old fat man in black cloak said nothing. What the hell does he know?! He is still fainting now. Even the Grand Master can't keep up with such talk?
Zhang Xing laughed when he saw this, and came to ask the commanders: "Everyone, if you think that the Demon Guard can last forever, then why did you abandon Hebei? Isn't Hongshan the place where the Supreme Master holds the real dragon?
Is the life dyed red by the blood of another supreme being? There are monuments everywhere in Thudao Ridge and around the city, but is there a more obvious monument to the achievements of the Demon Guard in the world than Hongshan? And the big one in Wu'an County
The Black Emperor Temple is the largest Black Emperor Temple I have ever seen in my life. Why has it been reduced to a barracks now? I have also been to a small Tianchi in northern Shanxi, where the emperor of the Central Plains worshiped the Black Emperor. It is said to be the relics of the Black Emperor.
Aren’t the ruins of the Black Emperor where the Demon Guards once arrived? Where are they now?"
"If you say so, there is no refutation." After hearing this, Lan Dawen was the first to take the lead and sit down, and couldn't help but sigh. "I also roughly know what Chief Zhang means. The general trend of the world is moving forward, and Chi
The Emperor said that the True Fire Sect is spread all over the south of the Yangtze River, but it would be ridiculous to just burn a fire to worship the Supreme and be regarded as the direct leader of the Supreme, let alone specially open up a demon island... The situation in Dongyi is the best, but in the Wei Dynasty
We go to fight again and again, even if it were your gang or someone who had taken over the world, it would be impossible not to fight. This is the general trend of your Central Plains, right?"
"Follow the three radiances to drive away the four emperors..." Hei Yan, who had been silent until now, also laughed twice and then sat down. "Not only in Hebei, but also in the south and south, everyone knows what the situation has been like in the past few years.
I can’t suppress Hachigong, and I can’t do anything fake.”
"Chief Zhang wants to say that it is destiny for the Supreme Being to give up land to others, and if we, the Demon Guards, cannot turn gods into mortals, we will destroy ourselves sooner or later, right?" Lu Dun also sat side by side with the other two commanders.
, and then faced Zhang Xing seriously. "If that's the case, although you are exaggerating, we also recognize the truth. We just forgive me for speaking frankly...
"First of all, let's give land to people and transform gods into secular people. Why can't we, the demon guards, do it ourselves? Why should we rely on subduing others to make reforms?
"Secondly, this kind of thing has always required repeated advances and retreats like winning the Long Race, and this advance and retreat may last for hundreds of years, which is the change of dynasties in the Central Plains. And our Demon Guards have a deep foundation, so why should we say this?
Can’t wait?
"Thirdly, if we advance or retreat, we can live for a hundred years. Since we have both internal and external concerns, why should we choose Chief Zhang and the gang as the opportunity to change?"
This is to abandon the rhetoric and discuss the core issues, but in a sense, it is indeed acquiescing to Zhang Xing's pretentious words and entering the range that Zhang Xing wants to express.
"The first question is very simple. We really can't expect the inner circle of the Demon Guard to make innovations." Zhang Xing said with a smile. "It's even difficult to count on the heroes of the Northland inner circle to do this."
As soon as Sansi Ming sat down, Qin Bao and Jia Yue led more than 20 people to stand inside the door. When they heard this, they all went to see the woman in cloth, but the latter's face was as usual, and she didn't show any emotion.
He knows where to dig out a cookie and feeds the child next to him.
"Aren't you also a hero from the North? Why do you look down on the people from the North so much?" Lu Siming frowned.
"Don't underestimate it, it's just the truth... I dare to ask Mr. Lu, the Northland is a corner of the world, is it true or not?"
"Of course it is, but so what?"
"Naturally, there are several opinions. These opinions are not only my opinions, but also a summary of the so-called system reforms since the existence of Demon Guards. If I am wrong, several commanders can teach me at any time.
.”
"Tell me." Heiyan seemed a little impatient.
"One thing is that the Northland is sparsely populated and remote in the world. It does not mean that the heroes of the Demon Guard and the Northland cannot change themselves, but it is that they cannot change as fast or as violently as the hinterland of the Central Plains. I dare to ask, is that true?"
There were only four old men on the Demon Guard side who were questioned, so no one offered any special defense.
"Secondly, although the Northland is far away, it is still part of the world. A mere throwing knife ridge, a sea of bitterness, and the Bohai Sea cannot stop the communication between the Northland and the world. What's more, the Black Emperor originated from the Northland, and the Northland is already part of the world.
The ancestral home of the human race, the Central Plains regards the Northern Territory as one, and the Northern Territory has no intention of being independent. In this case, even if the demon guards and the Northern Territory want to go their own way, it will be difficult to prevent the surging Central Plains from influx, either overtly or covertly.
Come on, I dare to ask, yes or no?"
"..."
"Thirdly, although the Northland is said to be good at fighting, its power is limited compared to the Central Plains. Therefore, as long as the Central Plains and the Northland collide, and the Supreme Lord does not personally intervene, the Northland is often unable to cope with the turbulence of the Central Plains.
! Dare I ask, yes or no?"
"snort!"
At this point, Zhang Xing became serious: "Then it's fourth. At this turbulent moment, it's not just a victory or defeat, but even if the heroes of the North really try their best to change themselves, they will be defeated in the end.
The more intense heroes of the Central Plains are those who are conservative and contrary to the general trend... I do not believe that there are no such heroes among the Demon Guards."
Hearing this, the three commanders in the hall all looked awe-inspiring, and the senior commander next to Zhang Xing also sighed.
Immediately, Lu Dun, who was ranked in the Third Division, slowly said: "Chief Zhang's words are somewhat reasonable. It is indeed difficult for us to refute it, but why did I listen? The chief was talking one after another, and in the end he was threatening.
What? Could it be that if things are not safe here today, then those gangs will attack each other with swords?"
"Lu Siming did not get me wrong." Zhang Xing still held the hand of the Grand Master beside him, but he still dared to speak nonsense. "Before I came, I had sent troops to attack Liucheng and Luobo City.
And no matter whether there is a good result this time, when I go back... or not, he will definitely mobilize the army to continue going north. By then, it will not matter whether the demon guards are friends or enemies along the way... This point
, Hei Siming knows best."
Hei Yan seemed to be smiling, but he didn't deny it.
"Then what else is there to say?" Seeing this, Lan Dawen directly responded. "Let's go back and prepare separately. We will talk after we have done it."
"Lan Gong's words are a bit biased. The more urgent the situation is, the more we must try our best to avoid fighting. If someone's husband or son died at the foot of Daxing Mountain, it was too late to collect the body, only to be eaten away by wild wolves." Zhang
Xing's momentum did not diminish, and he turned around to look at the old fat man next to him. "Da Si Ming, I think the more this happens, the more sincerity I can show... The situation in the gang is there, and now there are many people who are ready to compete for supremacy.
At that time, even we ourselves did not expect how quickly Chunri collected Hebei. Now it is impossible not to take advantage of the right time and place to enter the north. This is not something that anyone can stop. I hope you can understand."
Da Siming sighed again but said nothing.
Seeing that the other party was silent, Zhang Xing still held the hand of the great master beside him, and then looked at Lu Dun:
"Lu Siming, let's move on to your question. I've already answered the first question. The second and third questions are actually the same question, which is why the Demon Guards chose to help me come here at this time.
To make this reform, I will tell you the answer now, that is, the conditions provided to you are the best, so good that for both the Demon Guard and you, once you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to find this opportunity again.
"Besides, even though it's a bit self-destructive, I have to make it clear that the Demon Guards have their own support and can fully afford to bet on this. If our gang is defeated, broken, and unable to fulfill its contract, you Demon Guards will
Wei can still start over."
Lu Dun listened for a moment and sneered: "It was you, Chief Zhang, who said before that we failed to catch the Demon Guards, and it was you, Chief Zhang, who said that time is too late for me. Now how do you say that it is you, Chief Zhang, who we can afford to bet on? You have such a mouth.
Aren’t you just talking nonsense?”
"Is there any contradiction in this?" Zhang Xing explained seriously. "What we are talking about is the moment and the present. Now our gang has the ability and determination to sweep the Northland, and the Demon Guards are destined to be unable to stop it; but what we don't need to say is the time.
The change of the Demon Guard is unstoppable, and our gang has the best conditions. As for whether the bet is worth it, it is about the long term. It means that the Demon Guard lives in a corner of the world and has the blessing of the Supreme Being. When the situation is about to collapse, instead
Easy to survive."
"But if you, Chief Zhang, fooled you into boarding the ship, does the Demon Guard really have a long-term future?" Heiyan suddenly said. "No one in the Demon Guard can see what you did in the Central Plains more clearly than me.
, people in the Central Plains say that you, Chief Zhang, are using the personnel system of the Demon Guards to tamper with the political system of the Central Plains, but I know that those people are talking nonsense. What you are doing seems to be similar to the Demon Guards in the North.
They are similar, but in fact they are completely different inside... Our Demon Guards have never forced their children to build a foundation, and then serve as soldiers in succession, let alone put the people in the guards to serve as officials in the countryside... Chief Zhang, that is
The gang has some shadow of Beidi, but it is just a shadow. In fact, it is ten times more strict than the Demon Guards! When the time comes, I am afraid that the entire Demon Guards will be eliminated in the gang."
When these words came out, many people looked surprised. Xu Jingzu, who had been settling accounts, hesitated a little.
"Isn't what Hei Gong said contradicting himself?" Zhang Xing said with a proud smile. "If it is really eliminated, it means that you first accepted my conditions, and then we made things happen together.
What if we melt it away and wait?”
Hei Yan responded seriously: "Chief Zhang, I have to make it clear to you that the Dangmo Guards have been passed down for thousands of years. Although as you said, they lost Hebei and went to Jin, now even the two southern guards of the North are far away.
Falling, but after all it is a place with clear family rules, you must ensure the rules of our demon guards, otherwise future generations will scold us."
"If Mr. Hei means this, of course I can guarantee it." Zhang Xing responded immediately, then turned to look at the person beside him. "In that case, would you like to listen to me seriously and explain the general conditions?"
The fat man wearing a black cloak sighed again: "Then please tell me."
Zhang Xing must be sure... because the other party's statement means that the great commander has recognized the previous pre-discussion, and there is a basis for cooperation... You have to find out whether the other party is willing to cooperate, right?
"You all should also sit down." Zhang Xing then let go of Da Siming's hand, and then asked others to sit down, but then looked at Lan Dawen in front. "Lan Siming, do you have tea and snacks?"
Lan Dawen spread his hands: "You have to go to the kitchen over there to get it. Mrs. Lu brought it herself... I originally planned for you to meet Da Siming, take a rest, and talk about business in the evening."
"That's no need. Anyway, what I'm going to say next is simple." Zhang Xing looked at the three commanders in front of him, glanced at Mrs. Lu, and spoke proudly. "Everyone, I came to Beidi today to discuss the merger.
There is only one thing that I can be proud of about conditions, and that is fairness... The biggest problem and hidden danger in the Central Plains and the North is unfairness, so the fairest conditions are the best conditions."
There was silence in the stone hall. The people in the gang were used to the language habits of their chief, but the several commanders of the Demon Guards were not used to it at all, and they became more serious.
"First of all, regarding the survival of the Demon Guards, I think we can allow the Demon Guards to continue to exist, and the members of the Demon Guards to join our gang as individuals, and the two systems operate in parallel... What do you think?" Zhang Xing first listed one.
Conditions. "Is it acceptable?"
"This method is somewhat original and leaves us some room, but we can't say whether we accept it or not now. Chief Zhang, we have already reached this point, so we should be more honest..."
"Okay, let's talk about the next thing. For members of the Demon Guards who join the gang, we will not only guarantee the treatment and position according to specific people, but also guarantee the overall treatment according to the regulations of the Demon Guards." As he said this, Zhang Xing pointed to the side.
People. "For example, the chief commander here is the leader, all the commanders are the big leaders, and the deputy commanders are given to the leader. The battle group depends on the number of people and cultivation level. Basically, those who are above the level of the core, we will give the leader treatment, and guarantee that the entire group will be treated as the leader."
The Demon Guards have no less than two dragon heads, ten big leaders, and twenty leaders."
"Two faucets?" Lu Dun asked coldly. "What do you want to do with this arrangement?"
"I want to achieve fairness and justice." Zhang Xing answered calmly. "If you know a little bit about our gang system, you should know that according to the geography and population of the north, there should be three platforms with three dragon heads, one in the south, and one in the south.
Then the north is limited to Daxing Mountain, with one in the east and one in the east... The most suitable of these three dragon heads should be to send one from the other side, one from the Demon Guard, and then another one from other people in the North. But the problem is that Da Si
Ming is the great master, and you should treat him with special attention no matter what, so I will add another position to the great master."
"The truth is correct, but Chief Zhang is still playing tricks." Lu Dun continued to point out. "No matter what, two dragon heads in a corner of the north will always make our Demon Guards alienate."
"How can you be so cunning when it comes to this?" Zhang Xing couldn't help laughing. "Then invite another leader to take up the post in another place, go to Daxingtai or Hebei, or even go to Huaibei, the east, including inviting Da Siming to go
So what if Yecheng is in charge?"
The three commanders looked at each other, unable to ask further about the matter... To be fair, the help was enough to save face. The population and geographical situation of the Northland are the regulations of the three platforms, and the actual occupation of the Northland by the Demon Guards is
Less than half, now they are given two faucets and can display one in Beidi, which is really a real profit.
"The current personnel arrangements are this. If you have no objection, I will continue to talk about the most important talent selection." Zhang Xing urged again and again, and seeing this, he continued. "You should know that we help the most important people.
The core identity is actually the identity of the leader. With the identity of the leader, even if you enter the palace, raise your hand in the meeting, or master the task, you have to go through this. Therefore, if you want to claim to be fair, in addition to the current appointment
, I also want to give you a guarantee that in the future, we will help attract talents and select leaders, and we will be fair and just to the Northland and Demon Guards."
After saying this, not only the three commanders, but also the gang elites who came with them also pricked up their ears.
"Let's talk about the ways to select talents first." Zhang Xing said seriously. "First, of course, it depends on cultivation. Rare things are valuable, and true energy is the most mysterious thing in the world. There are people who have cultivated to the level of a master and have lived for a long time.
Under the rule, the gang boss should go find someone and ask if they are willing to be the leader? Therefore, we act according to the times and select people with top-notch cultivation to be the leader. As of now, it is the Ningdan. I think the person who Ningdan can only
If people are willing to come, they should be treated like a leader and then we can do things together."
This is the proper meaning of the question, and no one had too many reactions.
"Second, the imperial examination... This is mainly a selection place for literary and legal officials. Everyone takes the exam together, concealing their names, unifying the test questions, and selecting special talents by subject classification... This matter has been around since ancient times, and the system of generals in the Wei Dynasty
However, the cultural transformation has not been done well. We have helped to make perfect preparations and then continue to do it. Depending on the number of people, they will come every year or every two or three years. We also need to build schools at all levels all the way to the university in Yecheng to let these literary and grammar officials
, including those young people who rely on force to practice, there is a basic method."
"This seems fair." Someone muttered, but it was Jia Yue. "But how to show fairness to Beidi?"
"Third, when promoting officials from the lowest level, we should give the rural soldiers at the lowest level a way to move up, so that they can enter the palace."
Zhang Xing ignored the other party and continued to make his final statement step by step, but he also gave an answer.
"Among these, especially the second and third items, I have a key suggestion, which is to divide the protection according to regions... For example, now, assuming that all the Northland is taken, the gang will include Hebei, Beidi,
For the four large areas of the Eastern Territory and Huaibei, there should be an approximate ratio when it comes to scientific examinations and promotions. For example, Hebei will take 100 people, and the Northern Territory will take 50 people. The Eastern Territory and Huaibei will each have five.
Ten people means that the quotas are fairly distributed according to the approximate population ratio, so as to avoid the unfair employment strategy of thinning the world and fattening Guanlong during the Wei Dynasty."
At this point, Zhang Xing spread his hands and asked: "Several commanders and the chief commander, what do you think? Is this personnel design fair enough?"
Zhang Xing's response was silence.
"Besides that, I have some ideas." Zhang Xing continued with a smile. "It can be regarded as a condition. Everyone, if the Northland is leveled in one fell swoop, let's try to gain a few more years of peace and tranquility. We are willing to help the Northland build a road.
road."
"Building roads?" Hei Yan asked in surprise.
"Build roads, build bridges, renovate rivers and ports, and connect the entire core area of Northland." Zhang Xing did not explain too much. "I realized on the way that Northland obviously needs this project, and we are willing to help, as long as we pay the labor.
, how can we not do it? In short, this is also a condition, plus the previous conditions, what do you think, is it fair enough, maybe you can help us to fight? "
Several commanders looked at each other and were speechless for a moment, but I don't know if it was an illusion, but the atmosphere was obviously much calmer, and it seemed that this condition also struck a chord with them.
After a while, Lan Dawen said: "Chief Zhang, we can't say that the terms you gave are unfair, but they are too urgent... The Demon Guard family has a great cause, and it is impossible to agree to it so easily."
"That's right." Lu Dun also frowned and said. "If Chief Zhang is not sincere when it comes to this matter, it must be because we are pretending to be big or have other motives to confuse people. But Chief Zhang, you can't just talk in vain.
Ya, with just a few words he forced us to hand over our foundation immediately... Can you please slow down a bit and let us discuss it?"
"Of course you can continue to discuss, but not too slowly," Zhang Xing said with a smile. "Because I only have ten days. After ten days, I will return from the south. By then, the exchange of goods will turn into a fight, so it will not be counted.
It’s my responsibility.”
At this point, Jia Yue couldn't bear it anymore: "Chief, are you from the Northland, the origin of the Demon Guard, or the Black Emperor's choice? Now that you have made such a big situation, you have to return to the Northland.
Family unity is a natural thing. Even if there are some difficulties, we should work hard to overcome the past. Why is there such a rush?"
Like everyone in the stone hall, Zhang Xing glanced at the senior gang leader, but like the others, he remained silent.
Others were reluctant to speak, but Zhang Xing had already expected it.
In fact, Zhang Xing had anticipated this scene as early as when he asked the other party in Thudao Ridge if he wanted to come together, and even when Youzhou arranged the other party to advance northward. This is because Zhang Xing knew in his heart that as an extreme
Jia Yue joined the gang's core combat force early on, but he has never been able to integrate into the gang. In other words, this Northland warrior has always been more concerned about his own Supreme Order status and was entangled in his relationship with other Supreme Orders.
He was bound by this thing, as if this was the whole of his life and his mission in life was this.
When we first met, this guy was already a bit obsessed, otherwise he wouldn't be the executioner for the rebels who like to kill people. Later, Zhang Xing tried to calm him down a few times, and he seemed to be gradually getting better.
, but with so many problems and such a huge career, it is impossible to always look after him, especially in the past two years, this guy's behavior has improved a lot, but he still can't get rid of the shackles of his identity.
Frankly speaking, the flaw in the negotiations now is just a trivial issue.
"That's right. Everyone in this hall is under the name of the Supreme. Why should we shout and kill?" Mrs. Lu, who had been silent until now, interrupted. "If you ask me, Chief Zhang doesn't have to worry too much about the tenth day.
So what if it slows down a little bit to January?”
"What do you mean by January?" Lan Dawen immediately came to ask Mrs. Lu.
"In one month, the two cities that have already started fighting in the south are temporarily left behind, but it is enough to summon the remaining heroes of the Eight Lords, Seven Guards and Hundred Regiments to gather here. Chief Zhang's fair strategy, why not just fight in front of the Black Emperor in this fairy cave?
I'd like to make it clear to all the heroes in the North. If I can convince them, wouldn't it be better if the entire North surrenders without a fight?" Mrs. Lu answered politely.
"Indeed." Lan Dawen immediately came to ask Zhang Xing. "What do you think, Chief Zhang? Madam Lu's suggestion is absolutely feasible, and once it comes to fruition, it will be enough to convince everyone... Isn't this just like you holding a conference in Yecheng?"
Do you mean it?"
Everyone came to see Zhang Xing. Jia Yue didn't know if he realized that what he just said was wrong. Anyway, he was looking forward to seeing him at this time.
Zhang Xing sighed after hearing this: "No, it can only be ten days..."
"Why is the persecution too urgent?!" Lu Dun was obviously angry. "It can be done in one month, but it has to be ten days. Are the Seven Demon Guards so contemptible?!"
"Ten days are so harsh!" Lan Dawen also gave the tone.
Zhang Xing turned to look at Da Siming, who had not spoken for a long time, and asked calmly: "Does Da Siming think so too?"
"Is there any reason why it must be ten days and not one month? Is it due to military considerations? Or is there something else in Hebei?" The old fat man wearing a black cloak smiled slightly. "Chief Zhang, if we can do it in one month,
If you succeed, you can convince the people of the North and then deal with other things, and you will get twice the result with half the effort. If there are any specific difficulties, I will just let you go..."
"That's not what I mean, but there is another way to say it." Zhang Xing shook his head repeatedly and his face became serious. "If we decide in ten days, we may be able to unite the Demon Guards and the Gang; if we decide in two years in three years, I will be able to do it."
It is certain that it will be successful, but the current situation does not allow it; as for the decision in January, I am afraid that it will not be possible in all likelihood... I can only say that this lady does not understand these political things, and she does not know that our biggest gang in the North is
The key is that I don’t have a foundation, I can’t go deep into every place to call on heroes, and I don’t know that I can only look for the chief commander and a few commanders to make my own decisions, so as to achieve a good result as much as possible.”
Mrs. Lu smiled slightly when she heard this, lowered her head and touched the child's head, as if she really didn't understand politics just now and spoke like this, and now she knew it was wrong and felt sorry.
The rest of the people in the hall couldn't help but feel a little nervous and even tensed up... Jia Yue was certainly a little uneasy, and even the commanders' faces looked ugly.
"In this case, I am fully aware of the situation, difficulties, conditions and requirements of helping Chief Zhang." Da Siming nodded, as if ready to end this straightforward meeting. "Ten days will be ten days, I will try my best to give you a good answer.
Concrete answer.”
Zhang Xing nodded and then stood up: "In that case, please ask Da Siming to arrange a place to stay. Most of us are coming to the Northland for the first time and have never seen the customs of the Northland."
"This is natural." The fat black man rarely stood up, raised his hand slightly, but pointed at Lan Dawen. "Dawen, it's better for you to entertain me."
Lan Dawen nodded, sighed, and then stood up: "Everyone, please come with me."
Zhang Xing took the lead and helped the others to leave together.
At this time, Lu Dun, one of the three commanders, suddenly came to the table and said coldly: "Chief Zhang, when you talk like this, we have no room for change, but I want to remind you that it is not impossible for Commander Zhang and us to
Self-determination, but such self-determination itself will cost our prestige and reputation. The so-called "maybe" is just that it may be possible."
Zhang Xing nodded: "It doesn't matter, as long as I can be fair, and the commanders can also be fair, but we can't do it, it's God's will, and the Supreme family is at a loss."
After saying that, he cupped his hands and walked out the door.
Then, just like when he came before, he crossed Li Qingzhou and stepped onto the long corridor dug out of the stone. Lan Dawen led the way in the direction of the Black Emperor Temple in front of the Immortal Cave.
After crossing the Immortal Cave and walking to the intersection in front of Heidi Temple, he was supposed to go to Stone City to settle down, but Zhang Xing suddenly stopped and stared at the person behind him: "Jia Yue."
Jia Yue was obviously in a daze. He was stunned and couldn't help but stop on the spot: "What?"
The people around him were also stunned for a moment, and then stopped one after another. Qin Bao moved forward slightly, positioning himself behind Jia Yue.
"Do you think that you and I, as well as Mrs. Lu, are all selected by Black Emperor, so we should have the words and actions that we should have during the selection process, and even Da Siming and several Siming should also behave in the same way?
We serve the Supreme Lord, but our actions and words just now were not like this at all, so we are confused and uneasy?" Zhang Xing asked seriously.
"yes."
"Then I'll tell you clearly." Zhang Xing responded seriously. "The Supreme is the Supreme, and people are people... Just like these orders, whose orders are they? Are they just the orders of the Supreme? Don't you have to be the first to control the demon guards?
Kill millions of people? Even the reason why the Supreme can become the Supreme is because of human affairs. And no matter what we choose, we must first be a good person. I am the chief of the gang, you are the big leader of the gang, we all
He is still an ordinary person in the North. It’s not that he won’t do things with the Supreme Being, nor does it mean that he doesn’t respect the Supreme Being. What I’m saying is that today, at the moment, we must first talk about human affairs and do human affairs. You must not confuse the two.”
Lan Dawen, who was originally at the front, stood behind Zhang Xing with his hands clasped behind his back, watching the scene with a blank expression and remaining silent the whole time.
Jia Yue thought for a long time and then asked: "So, today's matter has nothing to do with what I think about?"
"Yes." Zhang Xing nodded quickly.
"Then if I spoke twice, did it ruin the situation?"
"yes."
"Would that delay things?"
"No!" Zhang Xing immediately shook his head. "The key to determining this matter is the situation between the world and the North, the strength of our gang and the Demon Guards, our determination to advance in the North and their ability to protect the Demon Guards.
Thinking is the measure of how much everyone is willing to give up for the overall situation of the Northland... It's not that people won't consider the identity of you, me, or even Mrs. Lu, but that even if they consider it, there must be a specific measure, and it won't be because
Your two words have shaken my determination."
"That's right." Qin Bao also raised his eyebrows behind him. "Chief Jia, let me put it bluntly. If the chief commander of the Demon Guard changes his mind because of your two words, then the Demon Guard's commander will change his mind."
That’s it, you can defeat them even if you fight them!”
Jia Yue was slightly relieved, but Lan Dawen, who was directly opposite, remained calm-faced.
But Zhang Xing turned around and smiled: "Young people are ignorant and talk nonsense."
Immediately, without waiting for Lan Dawen to say anything, he turned back and asked Jia Yue: "What do you think? Since we are back in the north, do you want to go home?"
Jia Yue shook his head repeatedly: "You still have an uncle and his family, I have nothing."
Zhang Xing hesitated and could only nod.
There was nothing to say at that time. A group of people followed Lan Dawen and left the Black Emperor Temple and entered the small stone city. However, they did not stay. Instead, they went out of the stone gate, went down the stone mountain, and came to the big city below. Then they walked in the dark under the stone mountain.
Settled in a building next to the water.
Immediately, Zhang Xing ordered individuals to go to the city to play and rest on their own, but was not allowed to violate laws and regulations. He also followed suit and took Qin Bao around for a walk.
It can only be said that the capital of the North Demon Guard and the sanctuary of the Supreme Enlightenment is indeed extraordinary... Zhang Xing spent half an afternoon wandering around, and the biggest feeling he felt was that the ratio of craftsmen to warriors among the population was too high, and then the city
The industrial and commercial atmosphere is actually greater than the religious atmosphere.
Industry means that there are many workshops, especially those making various types of iron and wood products, while commerce is mainly focused on bulk goods. There are many warehouses along both sides of the river. You can clearly see from the boats going in and out. Most of them are leather goods, wood, ores, weapons and armor, and grain.
There are also a large number of cattle, horses, sheep, pigs and other livestock in a valley further to the north.
I can understand the workshop and weapons, armor and livestock, but I don’t understand why this place is engaged in other strategic bulk commodities. After asking for a while, I was relieved... It turns out that it is to use the power of the Supreme and Demon Guard headquarters to build credibility.
, Liquidity groups trade commodities here, which can greatly reduce possible human risks.
Of course, Chief Zhang sent someone to ask, and it was said that the world was no longer old, and some people had stolen the money for goods and fled directly to Hachigong's territory, or simply went to sea, and there was nothing they could do to defeat the demon guards.
It seems that the Supreme Being is still unable to stop some people from doing what they want.
After watching for half an afternoon, I went to eat the wild geese stewed in an iron pot, which is unique to the North. Zhang Xing even made an exception and drank two taels of the Northland spirit "Helmet Shao" with Qin Bao. After eating and drinking, he returned to his accommodation.
I went to the library, took a bath, changed into clean clothes, and then entered the room with a few purchased books.
At this time, Xu Jingzu asked to see him.
Of course, Zhang Xing had no reason to refuse the special documents for his trip, so the two parties met in the bedroom.
After Xu Jingzu came in, he bowed and immediately informed: "Chief, I have found out clearly that Mrs. Lu was just arriving yesterday. She arrived with Lan Dawen. The place of stay is across the river from our place. She took her with her."
The child is considered her late husband's cousin, and he is the head of the other family of the two Dukes in Tingtao City...During the Three Expeditions, Mrs. Lu's husband, Duke Tingtao, was killed by Yu Shuwen on the front line, and the child's father also died.
It was Guan Haigong who tried to capture the whole city, but Madam Lu killed his entire family, leaving only this child as the handler to control the whole city."
"In other words, Madam Lu's movement was launched in the same year as our gang." Zhang Xing sighed quietly. "In these years, we only won one more Galloping Horse City?"
"Of course not." Xu Jingzu said with a smile. "Looking at today's situation, Lan Siming is obviously towards Mrs. Lu. And if the Anchewei where Lan Siming is located belongs to Mrs. Lu, then the former Bingliu City is now called
The place called Ice Swamp City is in Benma City, Tingtao City, and Ancheweizhong. Even if it is nominally occupied by Liu Wenzhou, the grandmaster, if there is no promise, how can he stand as a grandmaster? Therefore, Liu Wenzhou
We have to count it on Mrs. Lu’s side as well.”
"In other words, the three areas we previously divided into the North based on geography, the northern west road, and the area facing the Sea of Bitterness, are basically exclusive to Mrs. Lu?" Zhang Xing thought thoughtfully. "It's amazing."
"It's really amazing." Xu Jingzu also sighed with emotion. "In this place in the North, my subordinates have also realized that the biggest trouble is not human affairs, nor is it the gods and dragons, but the winter is too long, and the mountains block the demons.
The reason why the Wei can stand thousands of miles is of course because they have the order of the Supreme and have great masters in charge. However, they can repair roads in the north, control the mountain hunting grounds, and mediate disputes between war groups. They are not the princes who occupy the rich land and only want to enrich themselves.
Instead, Mrs. Lu can surpass the Demon Guards, consolidate an area, pacify many local war groups, maintain harmony with the Witch Clan, and control the mixed-race tribes, which is truly remarkable."
Zhang Xing nodded repeatedly, seeing that Lan Dawen was on Mrs. Lu's side, while Mrs. Lu's biological father, Lu Dun, was more particular, just basic human sophistication, and to be able to say what he said now, he really understood some of the essence of the North.
.
To put it bluntly, here in the Northland, there are class conflicts, regional disputes, conflicts between real dragons and mortals, conflicts between demon guards and feudal lords are even more obvious, and the opposition between the Central Plains and the Northland is even more clear.
.
But in addition, one thing must be understood, that is, the astronomical and geographical conditions have led to the current way of life in the North.
For example, we cannot say how bad the natural conditions here are, but the problem is that with this kind of climate and mountains, as well as the objective conditions of a vast land and sparsely populated areas, how can we be independent in the North without using a production organization like a war group?
Another major core question is, outside of the fragmented production organization of the battle group, who and how can provide comprehensive public services to everyone?
Who will inspect and maintain the roads?
Who will arbitrate trade disputes?
Who will have priority in using the port?
Who will organize the sacrificial activities?
These things cannot be determined by winning the Long game, and this is also the fundamental reason why the Demon Guards can survive for a long time, but are increasingly exhausted. This is also the reason why Zhang Xing must add the condition of building roads in the north.
If the Gang wants to take over the Northland, it must assume the responsibility of providing public services.
Back in front of him, Zhang Xing continued to ask Xu Jingzu: "Is there any other information?"
"Yes..." Xu Jingzu hesitated. "In the afternoon, some locals hosted a banquet for Chief Jia."
"He is from the North, and it is unusual for someone to know him."
"My subordinates came here to talk about this because they are actually worried about one thing. Chief Jia has a simple mind, and Mrs. Lu is known for her conspiracy. Will Chief Jia be benefited by others and then frame us in turn?"
"What about?" Zhang Xing asked seriously.
"For example, he was deceived into meeting Mrs. Lu at night, but was framed for assassination by Mrs. Lu." Xu Jingzu said carefully. "After all, according to common sense, the best solution at the moment is for the two families to fight. As long as one leader is gone, Dang
The Demon Guard will have no choice but to cooperate with another company... Then we will have no choice but to argue."
Zhang Xing said with a smile: "It is obvious right under the eyes of the Grand Master that such a thing cannot be done. It will only make it more ridiculous when the time comes."
Xu Jingzu slowly shook his head: "Chief, you are right that it must not happen, but if you think about it again, is the matter really so obvious? If everyone thinks that this kind of thing happened by Mrs. Lu herself, then why can't we take the initiative to do it?
This kind of thing? Then why can’t Mrs. Lu accuse us of taking the initiative to do this? Let me tell you, as long as such embarrassing things happen, both of our families will be a toad in bed. But it just happens..."
Zhang Xing's heart moved slightly: "It's just that we are doing things, and others are doing bad things, so when the toad gets into bed, we always suffer... right or wrong?"
"Yes." Xu Jingzu said with a smile. "So, if the chief wants to do it, why not cause some trouble?"
"You!" Zhang Xing pointed at the other party and was speechless, but put on a leadership posture. "Xiao Xu, it's not that you are not allowed to play with people's hearts, but it must be when necessary. If you do these things when it is not necessary, the benefits can be huge.
Say whatever you need, but you may lose control and fall out of control one day... Remember, your age, talent, and enthusiasm are all here, and sooner or later you will be the backbone of the gang. The more you are like this, the more you need to know how to control yourself."
Xu Jingzu quickly became awe-inspiring.
"Of course, we are doing paperwork now, so you can say whatever you want." Zhang Xingfu comforted him again, as if he still couldn't escape the other party's conspiracy.
Just as he was talking, Chief Zhang suddenly stopped himself, and then raised his head in surprise. Then there was a noise outside, and Xu Jingzu quickly stepped aside.
After a while, Qin Bao came in, frowned and told: "Third brother, Jia Yue was drunk and was sent back by Mrs. Lu herself. She asked you if you had a rest?"
Zhang Xing was stunned for a moment, then stopped laughing: "Tell her, I have always been henpecked. My wife has not yet arrived, and I am alone and do not dare to meet each other at night."
Qin Bao was stunned for a moment, then turned around to chase the person away.
