In a blink of an eye, the day came when the Yangtze River thieves were invited to attend the meeting of heroes.
On the morning of the meeting of heroes, more than ten waves of water pirates gathered in Zhou Tai's water village, and until noon, there was still a steady stream of water pirates heading toward Zhou Tai.
The arrival of the water thieves made Pengze, which is usually quiet, extremely lively, as if it was the New Year.
After probably all the water pirate leaders had arrived, the Pirate King Luffy led a group of his "water pirates" to visit Zhou Tai's territory.
Looking from a distance, the water thieves who were guarding outside the water village saw the group of people led by the straw hat thief Luffy, and they couldn't help but feel frightened and frightened in their hearts.
What a strong team of water pirates! Although the straw hat thief has only been in Taoism for a short time, the thieves under his command are highly regarded by everyone.
Just as described in the latest crazy news on the Yangtze River, these water bandits under the straw hat thieves all wear bamboo hats and straw ponchos, and their faces are solemn.
The aura is so breathtaking that it makes one's heart palpitate.
They are all tough warriors. It seems that this straw hat thief has recently risen and has his own methods. However, with this team, not even half of the water pirates can defeat them.
When the thieves guarding the village gate saw how powerful the Straw Hat Gang was, they immediately did not dare to neglect them and hurriedly reported to the two leaders in the water village.
Zhou Tai was currently in the village chatting with a group of leaders who had come to attend the meeting. After hearing the situation reported by the little thief, he felt secretly surprised and hurried out of the village to watch it himself.
The water pirate leaders who had arrived at the scene were also gossiping. Everyone wanted to see what the background of this pirate king who dared to talk nonsense was, so they followed Zhou Tai out of the stronghold one after another.
This straw hat thief has aroused the interest of various village owners.
When they arrived outside the water village, they saw a group of tough men and horses wearing bamboo hats. Jiang Qin, who was responsible for supervising the various water pirates, had just come out first. He was currently chatting with the leader "One Piece".
When he saw the eliteness of the men brought by the pottery merchant, Zhou Tai couldn't help being shocked, secretly thinking, what a force!
At this moment, Zhou Tai was unconsciously afraid of this rising star among the Jiang thieves.
Zhou Tai calmed down, walked forward, looked at the pottery merchant who was talking to Jiang Qin, and asked doubtfully: "You are the straw hat thief brother Lu, the master of Lu?"
The pottery merchant changed his outfit at this moment. He was wearing a military uniform with a long sword across his waist and a big bamboo hat on his head. Hearing this, he turned around and looked at Zhou Tai for a while, but he saw that this animal had a strong body, full of muscles, and a face full of beards.
His appearance alone is terrifying, and I can't help but admire him secretly.
The pottery merchant straightened his expression and said: "My younger brother is Luffy, and you are the famous Jiujiang thief Zhou Tai Zhou, right?"
Zhou Tai really couldn't understand, how could such a young man, who looked soft and frail and spoke politely, subdue such a group of fierce men and become a huge bandit in a short period of time?
Apart from his handsome appearance, this guy doesn't seem to be any good at all.
Although there were doubts in his heart, Zhou Tai did not dare to be negligent. He cupped his hands and said, "Yes, I am a Jiujiang thief! The head of the Lu family has been very popular in the tributaries of the Yangtze River in recent months. I have long wanted to learn more about him.
I saw it today and I feel very…very…”
Zhou Tai talked for a long time, but he didn't know what words to use to describe this seemingly weak Luffy.
The pottery merchant was not in a hurry, and said slowly: "You are very surprised, aren't you?"
Zhou Tai nodded heavily and said, "That's right. Your Excellency, when you look at it, it doesn't look like one of us chivalrous people."
The pottery merchant wished he could spit Zhou Tai in a mouthful of sticky phlegm.
A water thief is just a water thief, but he is also a chivalrous person. Why are you pretending to be a martial arts master with me?
They are also thieves, but Bai Bo is the most cultivated! At least he can see his own identity rationally, unlike Bai Rao and Zhou Tai of Montenegro, who have no consciousness at all and cannot face their own identities objectively.
"Although Lu is not good at strength, he is good at wisdom." Tao Shang explained to Zhou Tai with a smile: "Master Zhou relies on the strength of his arms to eat, but we brothers don't rely on brute force, we rely on this."
After saying that, the pottery merchant raised his head and pointed at his head.
Zhou Tai looked at Tao Shang's head in confusion, and after looking at it carefully for a long time, he said curiously: "The head coach of Luzhai is practicing the Kung Fu of the Brain Gate? With all due respect, this is not a serious Kung Fu. No matter how hard you train your head,
, If you really fight against a general, how many blows can you withstand? The leader of the village needs to choose another way."
Potter: "..."
Water thieves are just water thieves, they have no culture at all, and they really can't communicate at all.
"Master Zhou has misunderstood. What Lu said is wisdom." Tao Shang sighed and shook his head helplessly.
After that, the pottery merchant pointed to a strong man wearing a bamboo hat behind him and introduced: "This is Lu's sworn brother and the second-in-command of my water village. Let me introduce him to the village owner."
The person standing behind him was none other than Xu Rong.
The peculiarity of Xu Rong's gathering today was that he did not wear the bronze mask that showed off his identity, but instead revealed his one eye that had not seen the sun for a long time!
He lowered his head just now, and his whole face was almost hidden under the bamboo hat, making it impossible to see clearly. After hearing the pottery merchant introduce him, he raised his head slightly and glared fiercely with his only remaining eye.
Zhou Tai took a look.
Zhou Taiyi was frightened when he saw Xu Rong's disfigured cheek and blind eye under Xu Rong's bamboo hat.
Good guy! This looks so scary! Fortunately, it’s daytime, if I bump into this while walking at night, I’d be scared to death!
And he only has one eye...Looking at this face, he is not easy to get along with!
No wonder this man named Lu dares to make such bold statements. It seems that he does have some vicious men under his command!
Zhou Tai generally respected brave men. He cupped his hands at Xu Rong and asked, "May I ask what is this brother's name?"
When Xu Rong heard this, the muscles on his cheeks twitched slightly, as if he was reluctant to mention his name.
After a long time, I saw him raising his hand and slowly returning the greeting to Zhou Tai, saying coldly: "Zhuo Luo."
The potter was almost unhappy.
Xu Rong was suffocating in his heart. He didn't know why the young master gave himself such a bad name. It was so damn convoluted.
Zhou Tai nodded, stretched out his hand, and said boldly: "Master of the Road Village, Brother Zhuo! Please!"
Luffy and Zoro then led a group of personal guards and followed Zhou Tai into Peng Ze's water village.
After everyone had sat down in the water village, Zhou Tai immediately ordered people to bring wine and food, and arranged a banquet for everyone who came to attend the gathering of heroes.
After three drinks and five dishes, Zhou Tai winked at Jiang Qin.
Jiang Qin understood Zhou Tai's intention, and immediately stood up, held up his wine cup, and shouted to the leaders of the water thieves in the field: "Everyone, today the leader of my Zhou village invites you to join this group of heroes. One is to strengthen the
I am proud of the prestige of the various families in the Yangtze River in chivalry! Secondly, everyone is hunting wild valleys in the south of the Yangtze River. Many village owners have heard of their names for a long time but have never seen their people. Today, through this chivalrous meeting
, we are also very familiar with each other, after all, we are all on the road, and we will inevitably have intersections in the future. Thirdly, in the past year, on the Yangtze River Hero Road in the south of the Yangtze River, some people are not very sensible and are always rude.
He acted wildly and recklessly, and broke a lot of rules. I must take advantage of this banquet today, so we can all sit together and talk about it."
Everyone whispered to each other after hearing the words, and for a while, there was a lot of noise in the hall in the village.
But I saw a bold-looking leader of the water thieves, stood up and said in a loud voice: "Master Jiang Er, dare I ask the unruly person you mentioned, who is the Jinfan thief Gan Ning?"
Jiang Qin laughed and said: "Master Liu, except for the one named Gan, among all the heads here, have any of us broken the rules?"
This is undoubtedly a roll call.
Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing this.
Upon hearing this, the village leader surnamed Liu threw the wine cup in his hand on the table and said angrily: "I know that the head of the Jiang family is talking about Gan Ning! This thief is really hateful. I won't hide it from you.
A man surnamed Gan made a case from the Xiangjiang River four months ago, plundered Quanling County, and robbed all the county's arsenal and money bank. This provoked the Lingling prefect Zhang Xian to send an army to Sujiang! The force was unprecedented in ten years.
Some are so big that I have no choice but to move the water village! Tell me, everyone, the man named Gan is a thief from the Yangtze River, but he traveled so far away to Lingling to steal, and after he caused the trouble, he still had to ask me to do it for him.
It is really hateful that he bears the wrath of the county government! I have been stationed in Lingling for five years, and now that I have lost my foundation, where will I go to make a living in the future? I must let everyone comment on me today!"
After saying that, he turned around to look at the water bandit leaders present, and sighed: "The boundaries of Linjun County on the Yangtze River are all the places where the village owners hunt wild grains. Wherever I set up a water village, I'm afraid you will all be unhappy.
! But if I don’t re-establish my career, what will the three hundred brothers under me do in the future? Tell me, all the leaders! How should I deal with this matter?"
When some village leaders heard this, they were filled with righteous indignation. They all comforted Village Master Liu and cursed angrily at Gan Ning. A young thief dared to act like this. He would definitely suffer a lot in the future.
The potter looked on with cold eyes and sneered secretly in his heart.
At this time, another village leader named Guan stood up and said angrily: "What Liu Village Master said is exactly what I want to say! The Jinfan thieves not only harassed the prefectures and counties at will, and angered the officers and soldiers of the counties, they were even more hateful.
, and even brag about the boundaries of the land to steal other people's food! As you all know, the land of Chaohu has always been the territory of my Laoguan, but two months ago, a large caravan passed by on the waterway from Chao County to Wuhu
This waterway, I have been using this idea for a long time, and I have been ready to cut it! Who would have thought that the Jinfan thief was so unethical that he actually led his people to rob the fat sheep in front of the checkpoint I set up!".m.
