Although Qin Donghe was dissatisfied, he had no choice but to do anything about it. He had not yet dared to openly oppose Mu Zhenshan. Although he had long wanted to be the leader of the alliance, his Black Wind Village was obviously not strong enough yet.
Heifeng Village, located in the southwest corner of Funiu Mountain, is actually not weak. His village is located in the Laoya Mountain and Fox Ridge areas. Although its own territory is not large, he controls eight or nine surrounding small villages.
Their overall strength, the number of bandits has reached more than 4,000. The east side is even bordering the territory of Shirenshan Dazhai. Their overall strength has been among the forefront of the villages. Therefore, these village owners do not dare to say Qin Donghe's words.
Indifferent, he always agrees with him if he can. But if there is a team between Qin Donghe and Mu Zhenshan, Mu Zhenshan will obviously side with him, because the overall strength of the alliance leader is much stronger than Qin Donghe.
"Let's go, everyone, let's go in and talk." Mu Zhenshan had a dignity of his own, but he ignored Qin Donghe's dissatisfaction. He turned around and walked inside. Everyone followed him in. Qin Donghe spat and had no choice but to
Follow in.
Although this building is the Juyi Hall of Taoyuan Dazhai, its layout is by no means the usual one. Walking through the patio and entering the interior, your eyes suddenly open up. This is actually a large courtyard surrounded by a circle of houses.
The open courtyard inside is surrounded by flowers, trees, pavilions and pavilions. In the middle of a circle of corridors is a huge octagonal pavilion, surrounded by carved screens, which makes it look like a wealthy family. Although it is far away, the words on the plaque on the octagonal pavilion are
But the handwriting is clear, it says: Fuguo Pavilion.
Everyone followed Mu Zhenshan into the pavilion. The area inside the pavilion was quite large, with more than a dozen large chairs placed, and it looked spacious. It was surrounded by carved jade railings and high-hanging palace lanterns, giving it a rather elegant and royal appearance. Lin Jue frowned.
He thought to himself: Does Mu Zhenshan also have ambitions? Is he like Zuo Zongdao? The majestic appearance in this barren mountain is because the traditions of the Funiu Mountain villages are different?
For some reason, a group of unruly bandit leaders immediately became respectful after entering the Octagonal Pavilion. They arranged their clothes and appearance, and the chaotic formation became orderly.
Bao Meng quietly came to Lin Jue and Gao Muqing and whispered: "You two stand aside and don't talk."
Gao Muqing and Lin Jue felt slightly curious. These people seemed to have become cautious, and the atmosphere became a little strange. They walked aside and stood to watch. But they saw Mu Zhenshan tidying up his clothes and beard, and leading the village leaders to face the north.
Under the plaque, a curtained wall stood in awe. Two servants came up and pulled a rope slowly. The curtain on the wall slowly opened, revealing three huge portraits several feet high.
Hang on the wall.
In the middle of the three portraits is an old man with a crown on his head and fluttering clothes. On the left and right sides are portraits of a middle-aged man and a young man. The middle-aged man also wears a crown on his head. The young man wears a crown.
The golden crown, the face is childish. This portrait seems to be very old, the picture has turned yellow, but the outline of the character is still very clear.
Lin Jue immediately understood that these three portraits must be the three emperors of Later Shu. Strictly speaking, there were only two emperors of Later Shu. One was the founding emperor Meng Zhixiang, and the other was
His son Meng Chang. In the hands of Meng Chang, the Shu Kingdom was destroyed by the Great Zhou Dynasty. The child next to him should be the third generation of the Meng family who fled to the Funiu Mountains with the soldiers and horses.
Lin Jue's guess was correct. These three portraits were of the two emperors of Later Shu, Meng Zhixiang and Meng Chang. The teenage boy wearing a golden crown next to them was Meng Chang, the son of Meng Chang who died in Panlong Ridge.
Dan. The old tribes of the Later Shu Kingdom originally wanted to assist Meng Dan in reviving the Great Shu, but Meng Dan was too frightened and could not accept the soil and water here, so he died in the mountains. The royal family's bloodline was cut off, and these old tribes of the Later Shu Kingdom in the Funiu Mountains were also lost.
Thinking about it, they became mountain kings one by one. Now, they can only use this method to remind themselves where their roots are, and to remind themselves that they all come from the Great Shu Kingdom.
Mu Zhenshan's face was serious, and he led the village leaders to stand in front of the portrait.
"The descendants of the old ministers of Great Shu gathered here to discuss the great cause of restoring the country. Our ancestors dare not or forget the idea of restoring the country. The heroes and spirits of the ancestors of the ancestors can learn from it, and if there is a will, they can reveal the holy edict."
Mu Zhenshan prayed in a deep voice and bowed in salute. The village masters behind him also raised their hands and saluted, each with a solemn and respectful expression. In fact, many of these village masters were no longer descendants of the old ministers of the Great Shu Kingdom.
The descendants of several leading generals and old ministers who led the army back into the mountains at that time have not survived for a hundred years. Except for Mu Zhenshan, Bao Meng, Qin Donghe and other eight or nine people,
The ancestors of the rest of the village owners are unknown. In other words, once their roots are traced, their ancestors may just be mountain people in the mountains, and there is no way to talk about their origins as former officials of the Great Shu Kingdom.
Some of the descendants of those old ministers had already abandoned their homeland and became subjects of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Some even became officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty. After the people who stayed in the Funiu Mountains fought against each other, some were killed by their entire families.
Roots, some families have no children, and recruiting outsiders as son-in-law has already become extremely chaotic. However, since you want to gain a foothold in Funiu Mountain, you must package yourself as an old minister of the Great Shu Kingdom. In other words, treat this matter as
Viewed as a belief. But what Mu Zhenshan said about "not daring or forgetting the idea of restoring the country" is just talk and a lie. They are now oppressed in the mountains, and even their own people cannot
If we unite and tolerate each other, how can we talk about restoring the country?
After the ceremony, the servants covered the portraits with cloth again, and Mu Zhenshan and others returned to normal and sat down one after another. There were only a dozen chairs in total, and a dozen powerful village owners could sit down, and the rest
The group of people could only sit down at the benches at the back. The personal attendants who came with them could only stand behind their respective village leaders. For example, Lin Jue, who was a military advisor, was not qualified to sit down. That was Gao Muqing.
She only got a wooden stool, which was temporarily placed in the first row of seats, and Lin Jue stood behind her.
After a while, everyone sat down. Mu Zhenshan coughed, looked around the crowd and said, "Brothers, today's alliance was held at the request of Master Bao Dazhai of Beishan Dazhai. Originally, it was only eight months since the last alliance.
, according to our rules, the annual alliance will not be held until the beginning of spring and April this year. But as you all know, there have been relatively big changes in Funiu Mountain recently. Therefore, I also feel that it is necessary to hold this alliance.
It is necessary. I would like to express my gratitude to all the village leaders for coming here despite the ice and snow to participate in this alliance."
Mu Zhenshan bowed slightly and bowed his hands to everyone.
"That's right, that's right. The leader is polite. If the leader calls, he will naturally come." Everyone said one after another.
Mu Zhenshan nodded and said: "Without further ado, there are a lot of things going on in each village, let's get started. I would like to ask Master Bao Dazhai to talk about the situation first. Master Bao Dazhai, please
.”
Bao Meng stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Thank you so much, Leader Mu, and thank you all the leaders of the Dazhai. Bao proposed to convene the alliance in advance this time because of the affairs of Luoyan Valley Dazhai. As we all know, the leader of Luoyan Valley Dazhai is Gao Dazhai.
I came to Funiu Mountain last year, and there has been chaos ever since. You all know those things. What I mean is that Funiu Mountain cannot continue to be so chaotic. Everyone wants to live a stable life, so it is time to resolve this matter.
. Therefore, the purpose of proposing this alliance is to let Leader Mu and other village leaders discuss and accept the leader of Gao Dazhai of Luoyan Valley as a member of our Funiu Mountain stronghold, so as to calm down this dispute and let everyone live a peaceful life.
"
After Bao Meng finished speaking, one person said in a conspiratorial tone: "Bao Meng, you are really upright and upright. I have never seen you willing to wrong yourself so much. The Luoyan Valley and Laojun Mountain are both your Beishan Dazhai's territory.
You, Beishan Dazhai, fought with them to the death last autumn and lost a lot of troops. Now you come forward to speak good words for them. This is really surprising. When will you, Bao Meng, be willing to suffer such a dumb loss? Or?
You said you got their favor, so you came here to be their lobbyist?"
Bao Meng said angrily: "Qin Donghe, what the hell are you talking about? What benefits have I gained? I'm thinking about everyone. If this matter is not resolved, everyone will not be safe. That's why I proposed this regardless of the previous grudges.
I have good intentions, but I put such a stinky fart in your mouth."
Qin Donghe sneered: "So, don't we have to be grateful to you? You didn't do it yourself. Don't think that everyone else didn't do it. Don't think that I don't know. You were frightened by them, for fear that they would eat you too.
It's just Beishan Dazhai. These outsiders are acting so recklessly. This alliance should not discuss accepting them at all. Instead, they should discuss how to jointly send troops to exterminate them and drive them away. It's a shame that you all pretend to be nothing, left.
Zongdao asked the outsiders to be destroyed, and the outsiders bullied everyone, but you still want to be with Xini. Damn you!"
Qin Donghe sneered and glanced at the people in the seat. Some of them looked ashamed, while others were incited by his words and had expressions of injustice on their faces.
Bao Meng was extremely angry, but had nothing to say. Qin Donghe revealed his old background. He was indeed afraid of Luoyangu Dazhai and was forced to do this. No matter how he explained it, he couldn't explain it. But on the other hand, he
, but Bao Meng sincerely hopes that everyone can accept Luoyan Valley. Because he has seen the strength of Luoyan Valley Dazhai, and he knows that if he insists on becoming their enemy, Lieutenant General Funiu Mountain will never have peace. This will also make his Beishan Dazhai
It is difficult for the village to be at peace. After all, if they want to jointly send troops, he will have to send troops to make enemies of Luoyan Valley. That is something he is absolutely unwilling to do. But if he does not send troops, he will become enemies of all the villages, and he is equally unwilling to do so.
He did this. So, in fact, he was just a doormat in the middle.
"Leader Mu, fellow village leaders, please allow me to say a few words." Gao Muqing said quietly.
Mu Zhenshan nodded slightly and said, "Master Gao Dazhai, please speak."
Gao Muqing cupped his hands and said: "Thank you. Everyone, I, the Luoyan Valley people, are indeed outsiders when we come to Funiu Mountain. Funiu Mountain is your territory, we know this very well. However, we came here because Zuo Zongdao invited me to come.
Come. If it weren’t for his invitation, how could we have set foot in the precious land?”
"Hey, Zuo Zongdao invited you here, but you killed him and annexed his territory. You are so loyal to the world. Hahaha, Zuo Zongdao is inviting the wolf into the house. You are a group of villains who do not respect the moral principles of the world.
Wolf, Zuo Zongdao's Yin Jian is not far away, how can we repeat the same mistakes?" Qin Donghe sneered.
