Mu Buping led his men to send Lin Jue and Gao Muqing back to their residence, and sent an extra hundred soldiers to protect them outside in case something happened. After he said goodbye and left, Gao Muqing asked Lin Jue: "The people who attacked us tonight are really from Qin Donghe.
What?"
Lin Jue smiled and said: "I didn't say it was him, Mu Buping said it himself. In fact, it doesn't matter whether it is him or not. What is important is that it is obviously beneficial to us to make the Mu family father and son dissatisfied with Qin Donghe."
Gao Muqing said: "That's true. Qin is always against us today. If it is really him who attacked us tonight, I will never spare him."
Lin Jue said: "The Mu family father and son cannot achieve great things because their hearts are not ruthless enough, their methods are not ruthless enough, or their ambitions are not big enough. Qin Donghe has gone through so much trouble, and they don't dare to do anything to him. If it were me, Qin Donghe
He was already dead. Killing Qin Donghe would just kill the chickens and scare the monkeys, and frighten the others. He didn't have the courage, and he would be replaced by Qin Donghe sooner or later. Mu Qing, remember, if this Qin Donghe becomes the leader of the alliance,
You must not go to his village to make an alliance, this guy won't worry so much. If his demands are not met, he will definitely kill someone."
Gao Muqing smiled sweetly and said: "I know."
Lin Jue saw her cute smile and said softly: "I want to thank you today. You are really good at it. In such a noisy environment, you can actually hear the sound of arrows piercing the air. If not for this, we would probably have to kill you today."
Oops."
Gao Muqing shook his head and said: "I didn't hear the sound of arrows piercing the sky. I just had a premonition at that time. I have fought too many wars, and I don't know what happened. I feel that danger is approaching, and I will be alert."
Lin Jue pointed his finger and praised: "It's so tight. Let's sleep."
Gao Muqing nodded in agreement, and when he saw Lin Jue walking towards the door with his mouth open, he suddenly asked: "Husband, something is a little strange today. I learned that Qin Donghe might have done something to us, but I didn't think about taking revenge on him. What's wrong with you, husband?"
Have you ever become so peaceful?"
Lin Jue laughed loudly and said: "I have always been like this. Tolerant, not bearing grudges, gentle, gentle as jade, and unconcerned with the world. That's me."
Gao Muqing rolled his eyes and said, "That's weird."
…
The next morning, the alliance meeting started again. The village leaders arrived outside the Octagonal Pavilion as scheduled. Lin Jue paid special attention to Qin Donghe's expression.
It was as if nothing had happened. However, Lin Jue still saw something strange in his eyes.
However, compared to Qin Donghe's indifference, the expressions of the Mu family's father and son were very gloomy. Especially the leader of the alliance, Mu Zhenshan, had a serious expression on his face, and cast his sharp eyes at Qin Donghe who was as if nothing had happened. Obviously, Mu Zhenshan, the leader of the alliance, looked at Qin Donghe as if nothing had happened.
Buping told Mu Zhenshan what happened. Perhaps he also told him Lin Jue's analysis.
In the gap before the meeting, Bao Meng secretly approached Lin Jue and reminded: "Master Gao, Commander Fang, I'm really sorry. Bao has tried his best. But these people are really difficult to deal with. Yesterday afternoon you guys
After leaving, they have agreed that they will never give in to you. Although I argued hard, I was helpless and could not change it. Qin Donghe's fellow made trouble, and the alliance leader did not object. Hey, in short, you should be careful for a while.
Make concessions when you have to, and don't make things get out of hand. It's only my fault that I didn't communicate well beforehand. You two must not act out of emotion, and you must not make the matter a deadlock, otherwise your lives may even be in danger."
Lin Jue burst out laughing. Bao Meng obviously didn't know where things were going, and he definitely didn't know about the assassination that happened last night. This person was indeed a little confused, but even such a person once dreamed of unifying Funiu Mountain. Even what happened in
He didn't even notice what was happening under his nose, which shows how ignorant he is. However, he was able to remind him a few words, which made Lin Jue feel more favorable to him. At least he tried his best in this alliance.
He was worried, but he just couldn't do it. Maybe he could let one of his sons go back after returning to repay his performance. But Lin Jue quickly gave up this idea, and it would be better to keep his two sons.
The people in Funiu Mountain are actually not trustworthy. Talking to them morally would be more effective than using coercion.
After a symbolic salute to the three portraits, everyone sat down to begin today's official alliance meeting. At the beginning of the meeting, Qin Donghe made no secret of his ultimatum to Gao Muqing and Lin Jue.
"Master Gao Dazhao, Military Advisor Fang. We, the Funiu Mountain strongholds, have gathered here for the purpose of your visit to the Yangu stronghold. We have all been staying in Chief Mu's stronghold for two days for this matter. I am waiting for you.
In the hope of harmonious coexistence among the villages in Funiu Mountain, we will participate in this alliance and give you the opportunity to join me in Funiu Mountain. However, your performance yesterday disappointed us all. You spoke arrogantly and refused to agree to our agreement.
The conditions put forward made all of us very angry. Yesterday, our villages discussed again and decided to issue an ultimatum to you this morning. First, you must immediately withdraw from the occupied territory of Shirenshan Dazhai. How to distribute these territories?
It is up to our other villages to make the decision. Second, in order to compensate for the chaos you have brought to Funiu Mountain, you must make a statement. Weapons, armor, food, money, silver, and jewelry can be used, no matter what they are, but I want to
It is absolutely impossible to remove even a cent. Thirdly, all the people and property of Shirenshan Dazhai that your village has embezzled need to be returned and handed over to each village to be equally divided. Fourthly, in view of your bellicose, brutal and unruly behavior,
We unanimously request that you only need to maintain 300 copycat troops and not raise one more soldier, lest your ambitions expand and pose a threat to other copycats. These four points are the result of our discussion and decision last night. You two must reply immediately and agree.
Or if you disagree, it will be decided in one word, with no room for negotiation. Do you two understand?"
Qin Donghe spoke out the four conditions that the villagers discussed and decided yesterday in one breath. The village leaders also stared at Lin Jue and Gao Muqing with cold expressions, looking threatening.
Gao Muqing and Lin Jue waited quietly for Qin Donghe to finish. Gao Muqing said coldly: "Are these four conditions just there? No more?"
Qin Donghe said: "We don't want to bully others. As long as you agree to these four conditions, we will recognize you as a member of Funiu Mountain. From now on, no one will touch you."
Gao Muqing sneered: "Should I thank you for such generous conditions?"
Qin Donghe laughed and said, "That's not necessary."
Gao Muqing said: "What if we don't agree?"
Qin Donghe said coldly: "It's shameless to give you face, so there is no need to give you face. You have to agree if you agree, and you have to agree if you don't agree. You have no choice. If you don't agree, you two will die here. Even you
Even if you would rather die than agree, we will still jointly send troops to annihilate you. By then, it will not be as simple as these four conditions. By then, your entire Dazhai will die, and no one will survive."
Gao Muqing sneered and said: "You said that, I'm scared to death. If you dare to attack my mountain stronghold, you will pay a heavy price. Even if we die here, you can't even think of easily capturing Luoyan Valley."
Qin Donghe said angrily: "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Today I am not talking to you about talking nonsense. I just want to agree or not to give you a word. There is no need to say anything else."
"Yes, agree or not, it's just a matter of one sentence, it's useless to talk so much nonsense." Seven or eight village leaders all joined in, shouting and making a mess.
Lin Jue stood up with a smile and said: "You are all people of high status, how is it inappropriate to yell here?"
"What are you doing? I'm going to yell and scream, why don't you bite me?" Several village leaders retorted angrily.
Lin Jue said: "This is an alliance, so there must be rules. This is also Taoyuan Dazhai. When you people come here, you should respect Taoyuan Dazhai. Leader Mu didn't say anything, but you guys were yelling without rules. They started shouting. Could it be that the leader of Qin Dazhai regards himself as the leader of the alliance?"
Qin Donghe was stunned, his face turned red and he said angrily: "Stop, don't sow discord. What I want to ask now is whether you agree to these four conditions."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "I want to ask, are these four conditions the result of all your discussions, right?"
Qin Donghe said: "Of course, it was unanimously agreed upon by all the village leaders."
Lin Jue nodded, pointed at several village leaders and asked several questions, and they all nodded in confirmation. Qin Donghe sneered and said: "Don't waste your efforts. How can I still deceive you with the conditions that everyone agrees with? Don't do it." Delay time and give you ten breaths. If you don’t reply again, we will no longer waste time with you.”
Lin Jue looked at the silent Mu Zhenshan and said: "Leader Mu, I won't confirm the others. I only ask what Leader Mu means. Leader Mu, please tell me, if Leader Mu asks me to agree to this condition, I will agree. Everything will be done only if the leader of the Mu League follows suit."
Qin Donghe laughed and said: "It seems that you still don't give up. Leader Mu, tell them to know that this condition has been confirmed by you and teach them to give up."
Mu Zhenshan stood up slowly, with an indifferent expression on his face. But seeing him looking around the audience majestically, he finally said in a rich and old voice: "Brothers, I propose that you accept Luoyan Valley Dazhai as the I am a member of all the villages in Funiu Mountain, and I do not attach any conditions or impose any restrictions."
"What?" There was silence in the Octagonal Pavilion. More than thirty village owners stared at Mu Zhenshan in shock, thinking that there was something wrong with their ears and they heard the wrong words.
"In the name of the leader of the Funiu Mountain Alliance, I, Mu Zhenshan, propose to unconditionally accept the Luoyangu Dazhai as a member of the Funiu Mountain Clan. Now, I ask all the Dazhai leaders to express their opinions. The ugly words are in the head. Anyone who disagrees is with me. Mu Zhenshan is against it. You all make your own decisions and don’t force yourself." Mu Zhenshan shouted.
Lin Jue almost laughed out loud. Leader Mu's words were inconsistent. He made it clear that anyone who disagreed was against him, and then said that he would never force himself. Isn't this a lie?
