The man surnamed Zhou was not stupid. The moment the potter's men carried the weapons into the hall, Zhou Tai knew that he had indeed lost completely this time. There was no room for improvement. If he continued to argue, he would probably lose too.
He has the courage and demeanor of the Yangtze River thief.
Weapons used by the officers and soldiers of Lianzhou County were all brought, and there were thousands of them at a time. Isn't this evidence that they have invaded the county?
You definitely can't steal so much by stealing. There is only one possibility to get so many military equipment.
Get paid.
Although he knew that there was evidence that could not be refuted, Zhou Tai felt somewhat uncomfortable.
If he loses to Gan Ning in this big test, then Zhou Tai will forget about it. After all, in his heart, he has always felt that he can compete with him.
But never would he have thought that the person who defeated him was none other than that little foreign thief who was less than twenty years old.
Zhou Tai couldn't accept this.
Just when everyone was talking, Gan Ning strode to the center of the hall and shouted loudly: "Stop making noise, listen to me!"
The thieves in the hall immediately stopped talking when they heard this, and all turned their heads to where Gan Ning was.
But Gan Ning cleared his throat, raised his neck, and yelled loudly: "To be fair, I want to be the leader of the Jiangnan Water Bandits! But thieves also have their ways. Since we decided the matter from the beginning,
Then we must abide by the rules! Brother Lu used his skills to break into Chungu County and took down the banner in front of the county government office. He is the leader of everyone in our field. Although I am sometimes surly, I am also the leader of the alliance.
Those who can afford to lose! As the saying goes, there is no circle without rules. Today I will be the first to pay homage to the alliance leader. From now on, I will take the alliance leader’s words as my honor. If there is any violation of the alliance, I will prove it by the oath I swore before the big exam.
Thousands of arrows pierced his heart and he died! Everyone in the arena is fighting for it, and heaven and earth will not tolerate it!"
After saying that, Gan Ning turned his head, raised his hands to the pottery merchant and said, "Gan Ning pays homage to the King of Thieves!"
Everyone in the audience heard what Gan Ning said. Although they were reluctant to do so, they had made an oath beforehand and it was not easy to overturn it now.
But seeing the thieves in the Yangtze River, they could only say angrily: "I have seen the King of Thieves."
The pottery merchant showed no signs of anger or anger. He just turned his head and looked at the heads of water thieves in the hall, and suddenly asked a question in confusion.
"Where's the sea?"
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this.
What does this... mean?
After a while, Gan Ning was the first to react.
The Jinfan thief once again raised his hand to the pottery merchant and said loudly: "I have seen the Pirate King."
Everyone in the venue couldn't help but feel a chill all over their bodies.
Zhou Tai rolled his eyes and tried hard to hold back the feeling of nausea.
This kid is really pushing his limits.
The pottery merchant looked around at the people in the hall and said slowly: "What Lord Gan Zhai said just now is right. There is no Fangyuan without rules. Since Lu is the leader of the alliance this time, he will first set a rule for you all."
, that is, the geographical division of our plundering in the future. No matter how big something happens, without the discussion between the alliance leader and the creditors, people present are not allowed to cross the border without permission to go to other people's places to attack wild valleys. This is what I want for the future of the village leaders present.
The first plan we made was for the stability of the Jiangnan waterways. Do you have any opinions?"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the venue immediately became energetic.
In fact, the fundamental purpose of holding the meeting of heroes from the very beginning was because Gan Ning crossed the water without authorization, traveled freely and plundered regardless of the place, which had a profound impact on all the village owners, but Gan Ning was very practical.
He is so powerful that other than Zhou Tai, ordinary water thieves cannot defeat him at all.
Now if this shameless pirate king can really solve Gan Ning's random plundering on the Yangtze River, it will be a great good thing for the entire Yangtze River bandit circle. What's the harm if the leader of the alliance lets him sit down?
?
It doesn't matter who the so-called leader is, the key is whether he can solve practical problems for the following members.
After all, false reputation is not the most important thing to the thieves in the field, the most important thing is profit.
It is related to the interests of everyone's future survival.
When I thought of this, I saw that the eyes of all the village leaders began to turn towards the Jinfan thief.
Everyone else is easy to say, but mainly this thief...will he accept it?
But Gan Ning gave a long salute to the pottery merchant and said loudly: "Since the leader of the alliance wants to establish rules, Gan is willing to obey the instructions of the leader of the alliance! Observe the territory and never cross-border hunting again! Everyone can do it.
Witness, if you regret anything, all the village owners will punish you together!"
Zhou Tai stood aside, dumbfounded and almost tongue-tied.
What kind of ecstasy soup did this kid named Lu give to the guy named Gan?
When had Jinfan Thief been so obedient and praised this boy so much!
Or is it that the man surnamed Gan is a righteous person, and once he decides on an alliance leader, he will really follow his orders without any regrets?
Zhou Tai had so many thoughts in his mind that he had no idea why.
But the other village owners couldn't help but be overjoyed.
The Jinfan thieves are willing to abide by the rules, which is a great blessing for them.
Then I saw all the village leaders in the venue clasping their fists hard at the pottery merchant and shouting loudly together.
"We are all willing to respect the leader's orders!"
"The alliance leader has decided, we are willing to strictly abide by the boundaries!"
"Never bully each other!"
"The King of Thieves is mighty!"
The shouts this time were obviously much more enthusiastic than the atmosphere just now.
The potter looked back and forth at the people present, and while looking, he said slowly: "Where is the sea?"
Everyone was stunned again when they heard this.
But this time they all reacted and understood what the leader wanted to hear.
"One Piece is mighty!"
A cheerful smile appeared on the potter's face.
"That's how you behave."
Pointing to the weapons on the ground, the pottery merchant continued: "As the leader of the alliance, I naturally have to take care of you. The more than a thousand weapons captured during this attack on Chungu County, you will take them back to your subordinates.
Let’s divide it up, oh, there are also a thousand stones of grain, and they will be given to all the village leaders present... Ganzhai Master, I’ll leave it to you to decide how to divide it!”
Today's pottery merchants have already ushered in the first water harvest in Danyang County during this season.
After proper grain production planning, this season's output has completely doubled compared to last year, and the grain bank is quite full, so it is fully capable of spending part of the taxed grain to win people's hearts.
As for ordnance, he now has as much as he wants.
Upon hearing that the pottery merchant was so generous and righteous, all the water village owners present couldn't help but burst into excitement.
This is a big deal!
One thousand stones of grain and one thousand captured military ordnance!
This is not a harvest that water thieves can grab every day!
It’s hard to see how this alliance leader is so generous and righteous despite his young age. No wonder he has risen so quickly!
Paying more attention to one's promise than one's life is sometimes a point of scoring, but most of the people who are involved in thieves consider themselves chivalrous, and they generally have special respect for those who are bold, righteous and generous.
Every time you kill a dog out of righteousness!
"We are willing to serve the leader to the death!"
"Alliance leader Tianen, I will never forget it! If you tell me anything from now on, Liu will be the first to stand up and support you. Whoever dares to disobey the alliance leader, I will fucking chop him up!"
"What nonsense are you talking about!? What kind of alliance leader? That's the Pirate King!"
"Yes, yes! Pirate King, it's necessary!"
Zhou Tai's heart seemed to be broken when he saw that all the village leaders in front of him were bribed by the pottery merchant almost instantly and firmly supported him as the leader.
For how many years, I have wanted to be a river thief king but never got it!
Now Lu used a thousand stones of food and a thousand weapons to secure the throne of the Pirate King in less than three sticks of incense.
What a courage and thunderous means.
At this moment, Zhou Tai felt that his situation seemed extremely small.
The world is too big and there are too many capable people, but I still don’t see enough.
When the place was in commotion, Gan Ning raised his head and glanced at the pottery merchant, only to see the pottery merchant smiling at him and raising his eyebrows.
Gan Ning suddenly realized something in his heart.
The pottery merchant allowed himself to distribute weapons and food to these thieves. In fact, he was giving himself an opportunity to turn conflicts into friendship and win over the hearts of these water thieves.
Gan Ning couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Even though he is very young, this Governor Tao is still very capable. He is thorough in everything he does and his thinking is so thorough.
Next, the pottery merchant re-planned the scope of activities on the Yangtze River for the heroes in the field.
In order to ensure that his eighteen counties in Danyang County would not be harassed by these people, the pottery merchants specially planned that section of the river road as the scope of their activities.
After the territory was properly divided and everyone had no objections, everyone present burned incense to worship heaven and earth, kowtow and swear an oath, renew their oath, advance and retreat together, share adversities, and obey the orders of the leader of the alliance.
Then, Gan Ning led most of the village owners to go out to distribute food and weapons. However, only two groups, Zhou Tai and the potter, were left in the water village, looking at each other with big eyes and small eyes.
Looking at Zhou Tai's slightly lonely expression, Tao Shang secretly sighed, walked forward and said to Zhou Tai: "Zhou Village Master, Lu is young and lucky enough to be the so-called leader, but he does not live up to his name.
In the future, I will have to ask the Master of Zhou Village for advice on many places, and I hope that the Master of the Village will not hesitate to give me some advice."
Zhou Tai grinned slightly, showing a smile that was uglier than crying, and said: "Brother Lu can control the world and win the hearts of everyone with just a few words. Such superb methods are incomparable to Zhou. How can he do it?"
If you dare to give me any advice, if anything happens in the future, I will just listen to your instructions."
Seeing Zhou Taipo's miserable expression, Tao Shang shook his head and said: "Master Zhou, a mere leader of the Water Thieves Alliance, is it worth your reluctance to part with it? Even if the entire Yangtze River is under your control, so what? Let's talk about it.
Go, isn’t there a thief and a traitor? You have been a thief for ten years and a thief for twenty years, is it possible that you can still be a thief for thirty or fifty years?”
Having said this, the pottery merchant turned around and walked out of the hall, leaving some words for Zhou Tai, saying: "Zhou Village Master is a man of great ability. Lu also hopes that the village master can be more broad-minded and visionary.
Don't blind your eyes to Mount Tai with a single leaf, but think carefully about it. You and I have the right to leave the country today, and we will meet again later."
Zhou Tai watched blankly as the pottery merchant gradually disappeared into the background in front of the hall, and couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
Although his figure looked thin and frail, it looked particularly dazzling under the sunlight at this moment. The words he just said accompanied his back at this moment. For some reason, Zhou Tai was stunned, and the tremor in his heart could not dissipate for a long time.
This guy named Lu is so cool! The layout seems to be quite good.
At this moment, the pottery merchant's tall background suddenly swayed under the sunlight, but he almost stumbled over the threshold, but Xu Rong had to hold him up.
"Bah! What the hell, are you tripping me?"
Xu Rong's voice was still cold: "Threshold."
"Can it be sawed?"
"This is someone else's house...it's inconvenient."
Zhou Tai shook his head and suddenly came back to his senses.
This kid doesn't seem to be that chic... he's quite tacky.
After the pottery merchant left, Zhou Tai lowered his head, seemingly thoughtful.
Jiang Qin came up behind him and whispered: "Brother, is there something wrong with Luffy?"
Zhou Tai did not refute when he heard this, but just said word by word: "A person who dares to claim to be the Pirate King must be somewhat abnormal, but I think there is some truth in his being abnormal just now. I may really be a little behind.
Well, in this business of water banditry, even if we win over the alliance leader, what will it be of use decades later?"
