Chapter 219 Eight Swords Returning to the Mountain
Li Jiang stayed on the platform for three months, meditating every day and watching the clouds roll and relax in the sky.
On this day, he suddenly opened his eyes when he fell into meditation.
After a few seconds, he closed it again.
Half an hour later, four people went to the top of the mountain.
They were still talking and laughing at first, but they stopped talking as soon as they came up because they all saw a tall figure sitting cross-legged under the pine trees on the edge of the cliff.
The four of them stepped forward cautiously, each bowed respectfully and clasped their fists at their backs, and said in unison: "Elder brother, we are back."
"Well, just stand there!" Li Jiang waved his hand back without opening his eyes.
The four of them looked at each other, made faces at each other, and stood aside.
They all felt a little uneasy at this time, and each asked themselves whether there was something they didn't do right outside that aroused the resentment of their senior brother?
The four of them frowned and began to try to remember.
The atmosphere on the platform became quiet again.
The four of them thought about it for a long time, but they couldn't remember what they had done wrong, but they didn't dare to ask Li Jiang, so they could only ask each other with their eyes.
In his mind, oh no, it should be in the minds of the eight disciples, the senior brother is the strict master. He taught several people's martial arts. At the beginning, everyone didn't understand why the senior brother taught so much.
So strict.
The days at that time were so difficult! The eight of them all shuddered when they thought of that more than a year of darkness.
Later, after they all went down the mountain, they understood the painstaking efforts of the elder brother. If they didn't have the martial arts and knowledge taught by the elder brother, they might have drowned in the rivers and lakes long ago. How could they have the current scenery?
Therefore, the eight people respect and fear Li Jiang, and have now formed a conditioned reflex. Whatever the senior brother says must be right, and whatever the senior brother asks them to do, they must do it.
Zhao Shoujian, Sun Zhuoyan, Cao Chao and Zhou Nanjie waited in fear for half an hour, and finally heard the senior brother speak again: "Okay, everyone is here, go and greet your junior sister.
.”
"Oh", the four of them breathed out at the same time. Were they waiting for someone after a long time? If they had known that the junior sisters and the others were behind, they might as well have waited to go up the mountain together. Only the devil would be willing to stand behind the senior brother!
After receiving the order, the four of them were eager to run faster and rushed to the edge of the platform to look towards the mountain road.
After a while, a bouncing figure appeared in their eyes, followed by three people.
The four people on the platform immediately concluded that the one walking in the front must be the junior sister. She is the only one who is so lively. The others, especially the men, may be too deeply influenced by the senior brother, and they are all imitating the senior brother's actions consciously or unconsciously.
Pie: Steady.
Gao Shan also spotted the four people on the platform and ran over while waving.
When she got closer, she shouted loudly: "Second Senior Brother, Fifth Senior Brother, Seventh Senior Brother, Eighth Senior Brother, how come you have time to pick us up?"
The four of them curled their lips together, and Sun Zhuoyan also reminded: "Little junior sister, please stop shouting. Senior brother is meditating on the top of the mountain. Don't disturb him."
After he finished speaking, he quietly looked back, for fear of upsetting his senior brother.
"Yeah!" Gao Shan stuck out her tongue and quickly covered her mouth.
She took a few steps onto the platform and quietly asked Zhao Shojian: "Second senior brother, has the senior brother dealt with you?"
"Ahem, no. Children's words are unbridled, children's words are unbridled!" Zhao Shoujian was startled and immediately denied it.
Gao Shan looked at the other three and saw that they didn't dare to speak, so she rolled her eyes and stood with them.
Soon, Qianfa Wan, Long Ruoshui, and Hua Shu came up. The three of them were confused. Sun Zhuoyan learned the lesson this time and was the first to put his finger in front of his mouth to signal silence, and pointed the other finger behind him.
Everyone had a tacit understanding, and they immediately understood after Qianfawansan that the big tiger was waiting behind him.
The eight people gathered together and walked behind Li Jiang. The four people who came up the mountain from behind saluted together and said, "Elder brother, we are back."
"Well, they're all back in one piece, that's good." Li Jiang stood up and turned to them.
"Gee, with the martial arts taught by our senior brother, who can be our opponent?" Gao Shan said with a sweet smile.
"You, you don't know how high the world is. There are many masters who do not want to be serious with you just for the sake of the Five Mountains Sect. Why, do you think you are invincible?" Li Jiang gave her a hard knock.
"Ah, senior brother, I hate it. If you call me stupid in the future, it's all your fault!" Gao Shan protested, covering her forehead.
"Haha." Li Jiang actually didn't mean to blame Gao Shan at all. Instead, he liked her very much. Because her temper was really similar to Li Jiang's when he was a teenager. At that time, Li Jiang also liked to be blind.
It's just that now that I'm getting older, I'm hiding deeper.
Li Jiang remembered the past for a moment, then looked at the other seven people, and said: "Starting from the second child, report the situation of going down the mountain one by one."
"Yes, senior brother." Everyone agreed in unison.
Zhao Shoujian took the lead and said: "Elder brother, we followed your order and went north along the Yellow River to wipe out mountain bandits and water bandits. There were 12 gangs in total. We killed the enemy without any calculation. We entered 20 cities and eliminated 8 notorious local gangs. The proceeds
Money is equally distributed among the working people.”
"Well, you are the team leader. Write a detailed action report to me when you get down." Li Jiang instructed.
Zhao Shoujian agreed with a grimace.
The third child, Long Ruoshui, then reported: "Senior Brother, I participated in 13 of the battles. I did not participate in the remaining battles. I went into the city to collect information."
"Well, I'll write a personal report after I get down." Li Jiang said.
"Ah? I still want to write individually? Can't the team leader just write?" Long Ruoshui exclaimed.
Li Jiang's face darkened and he said, "What? Are you illiterate or don't want to write?"
Long Ruoshui thought about Li Jiang's various punishment methods and did not dare to answer this question. He quickly lowered his head and said: "Senior Brother, I will write it when I get down."
"Well, next one." Li Jiang nodded.
…
Finally it was the turn of the sixth Huashu. He took a step forward calmly, cupped his fists and said: "Elder brother, our team went eastward along the Yangtze River and wiped out a total of 21 mountain bandits and water bandits, and entered 36 cities to attack gangs.
20, 78 enemies were killed, 365 people without serious evil deeds were sent away, the money was handed over to seven shrines, and the rest was distributed to the public. This is the acknowledgment from the shrine and the list of distribution of money and food."
With that said, he handed Li Jiang a stack of paper.
Li Jiang looked through it roughly and found that it was basically the same as what Hua Shu said, so he smiled and nodded: "Lao Liu was meticulous and thoughtful. Not only did he complete the task very well, but he also had detailed data, which showed that he was serious about his work. Lao Liu
Second, you have to study hard and don’t give up!"
"Yes, yes." Zhao Shoujian's face turned red and he was speechless. Hua Shu waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Elder brother, everyone has his own way of doing things. I am stupid and can only write it down on paper. Don't blame me.
Second senior brother..."
Li Jiang interrupted: "Lao Liu, if you do well, you should be praised. It's also for the benefit of Lao Er to ask him to learn, lest he be fooled by the people below!"
Seeing that Hua Shu was still arguing, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, stop being so modest. After lunch, you come to my room. I have something to do with you."
"Yes, senior brother." Hua Shu had no choice but to close his mouth.
