Within a few days, news of He's appearance in Jiangnan had spread.
There are many eyes and ears in the Crocodile Village, and nothing in the world spreads faster than rumors. One word spread to ten, and the story spread quickly to both sides of the river.
Everyone knows that He and Cheng Dalei had a falling out, and now they have made a clean break and drawn a clear line. Now they are temporarily settling in Crocodile Village, thinking of joining another prince.
It can be said that the large and small forces near the Crocodile Village are moved by the wind. Everyone knows He's ability. Cheng Dalei can conquer a whole world in a short period of time, and He is at least half of the credit.
If he can get help, not to mention catching up with Cheng Dalei's power, it shouldn't be much different.
Therefore, in the past few days, people have been arriving at the Crocodile Village one after another. There is an endless flow of people in front of the Crocodile Village, and there is even a trend of overcrowding.
On this day, a passenger ship arrived in front of the Crocodile Village. When Hong came out of the cabin and saw the scene in front of him, he was still shocked.
I saw crowds of people in front of the gate of Crocodile Village, and ships of various sizes moored at the port. They were all sent by nearby forces.
Many of these forces are still at war. It is a rare thing for them to put aside their conflicts and maintain peaceful coexistence here.
This also illustrates the reputation of He.
Hong Liao walked to the port with only two companions behind him. This time, Li Xing did not invite He to go out in person, but Hong Liao came alone.
He had met with He to confirm whether the rumors were true or false.
When Hong Liao appeared, the discussion in front of the Crocodile Village became quieter. Everyone knew Hong Liao's identity. He was now the leading celebrity under Li Xing. As the first emperor of Jiangnan, Li Xing was also a member of the empire.
The legitimate heir.
There are quite a few factions near Crocodile Village that have nominally surrendered to Li Xing.
Hong was not in the mood to chat with anyone else. When he came to the gate, he was about to go up the mountain.
Immediately afterwards, he was stopped by someone. Wang Da Chong said in a rough voice: "Hey, do you understand the rules? Do you understand when you line up? Are you on a first-come, first-served basis?"
"Hey, blind your dog eyes, this is..."
The attendant behind him shouted, but Hong Lao stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Brother, we are new here and we really don't understand the rules here. May I ask, what are the rules here?"
Although Hong Liao is not very old, he has a decent appearance. He speaks in a precise manner and has the air of a master.
"My husband and I rested in our cottage, eating and sleeping all the way. We must have a good rest for a few days. Recently we have been eating and drinking our food. Alas, our temple here is small and cannot accommodate a great god."
Hong Liao heard the elegant meaning of Xiange and immediately understood it. He waved behind him, and his entourage carried the box over and opened it a crack. Inside was white silver, a total of five hundred taels.
After seeing Yinzi, Wang Dashong immediately changed his appearance, grinned and said: "Let me tell you, as soon as I saw you, you are different from other people. You are capable and capable. To be honest, with Mr.
It’s people like you I’m waiting for. I’ll invite you soon, I’ll invite you soon.”
Only then did Hong realize that the water thief wanted money to open the door. Whoever gave him more money could go up the mountain first and see He first. No wonder so many people gathered here, it turned out to be like this.
I have to say, this kind of thing is quite Toad Village style.
If you don't have money, you won't be able to do it early, and you will only open your eyes when you see money. Even if the iron rooster passes in front of you, you have to find a way to pluck out its feathers.
Since Hong Lao gave me a lot of money, I could naturally go up the mountain as soon as possible.
Under the guidance of Wang Dashong, he entered the mountain. Hong's expression did not change, but he quietly observed the layout of the Crocodile Village. Although the Crocodile Village is not big, it contains beautiful things. If you really want to send troops to attack, I am afraid it will be very difficult.
A group of people.
Taking people's money and eliminating disasters for them. Currently, Hong Liao is working under Li Xing, and all he thinks about is conquering cities and territories.
In the backyard of Crocodile Village, I met He. He was sitting under a big tree drinking tea. The cicadas were chirping noisily and the tea leaves were floating. It was quite peaceful.
Hong Liao walked a few steps quickly and came to He, bowed slightly and said: "Mr. He, I'm Hong Liao. I'm working in Jiangnan right now. I want to meet Mr. He."
Wang Da Chong looked at this scene and grinned subconsciously. Look at the shadow of the human life tree. This Mr. He is indeed a capable and capable person. It is his identity that makes him proud, and he must bow when he sees him.
When we first met, he said he could make a fortune, but he was not lying to himself.
The Zhu brothers also held their heads high at this moment. Everyone has seen what happened in the past few days. As soon as He's name was released, the Crocodile Village was crowded with people. There were so many dignitaries. In the past, I could even say a word to them even if the ancestral grave fever was high.
It smells good. Now he is nodding and bowing, and when he sees himself, he feels like he is seeing a big shot.
After all, there is nothing wrong with following He out of Zhutianzhuang. If I didn't follow him out of Zhutian Village, how would I be where I am today.
In any case, the Zhu family brothers started to tremble.
He picked up the tea cup, blew off the foam on it, took a careful sip, and then raised his head and glanced at Hong.
"You..." He frowned thoughtfully: "I think I've seen you before."
Hong Lao nodded: "I used to visit Mr. Cheng and met Mr. He. I was still a Taoist priest at that time."
He then nodded and pointed to the low stool next to him: "Sit down."
Hong Li then sat down, but only halfway, and said: "I heard that Mr. He is here. On the order of my lord, I came here to invite Mr. He to come out. If Mr. He comes to Yangzhou, my current position is He."
Sir."
He took a sip of tea and sighed again: "Do you know that I have fallen out with Cheng Dalei?"
"I've heard of some."
"Do you know why we had a falling out?"
Hong Lao shook his head: "I haven't dared to ask for advice yet."
He raised his head and looked at the sky, thoughtfully. After a while, he looked back and said, "You don't know that I have a laid-back personality. I don't have any ambitions. I don't want to live a life of fighting and killing.
But Cheng Dalei is not an honest man. He only thinks about competing in the world all day long. I tried to persuade him again and again, but he couldn't listen to a word. So I simply left Liangzhou and came here to see the great rivers and mountains.
"
"I've heard that Mr. He has the intention to make a living."
"It's just a rumor. It's okay to deceive ordinary people. I shouldn't deceive a smart person like you." He sighed: "I'm really tired now. I just want to spend a few days leisurely, killing and killing me.
It doesn’t matter anymore. To say the least, Mr. Trouble’s trip was in vain.”
Hong Liao stood up, clasped his fists and said goodbye. He raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and waved his hands casually in reply.
After walking a long way, Hong Liao looked back and saw He sitting quietly drinking tea. He looked very impressive.
