Chapter 41: Helpless Choice
Wang Guandai's face looked so ugly that he covered his abdomen with his left hand, struggled to stand up, and stretched his right hand towards the short gun at his waist. Just as he was about to make the final decision, suddenly, with a gunshot, Wang Guandai fell down softly again.
Wang Guandai, one of the murderers of the Xiaoyaozhuang tragedy, was sent to a dead end by his own people and his life was killed with one shot.
Lu Ransong turned around in surprise, silently looked at the short gun in Lu Hongru's hand, and from time to time, he was emitting blue smoke, and was fighting fiercely in his heart.
Wang Guandai was cultivated by himself. If it weren't for the problem with Zhao Fan and Ye Rose, he would be quite good. He obeyed his own words and never thought of killing him. Even if he drew out his gun and gave him the courage, he wouldn't dare to fire it.
But why did my father shoot him to death? Do you want to put his person beside him? Lu Ransong couldn't figure it out and didn't dare to continue thinking, and just stood there in a daze.
"Ransong, what's wrong with you? You saw him pulling his gun just now. If I don't take action decisively, then it's either you or me who fell down. Do you feel sorry for this incompetent thing?" Lu Hongru looked at his son and explained hurriedly.
A hint of unaware sneer appeared on Lu Ransong's face, "Wang Guandai would not shoot. I know him too well. At that time, he was in Xiaoyao Village. He worked hard without credit and worked hard. You shouldn't kill him like this."
Lu Hongru pondered for a moment and immediately thought of a person who could take over Wang Guankai's job, even stronger than him, because he was calm, experienced in doing things, and was ruthless. It was most suitable to deal with Zhao Fan and Ye Meigui. At the same time, he could secretly find the whereabouts of the treasure map and grasp the situation in Ziyang County, and then said:
"I'm all for your own good. If you don't know about it, you'll have less trouble. I beat him to death and compensate you for one. I'll order Lu Huacheng to come and report to you. He is your brother, and he is all a family. I believe you will cooperate better."
How could Lu Ransong not know this person? He is five years younger than him. He is a celebrity around his father and a son adopted by his father in his early years. He has a loner personality and has disagreement with him since he was a child. Even so many years have passed. Who knows what he will become and how can he know his father's intentions? He strongly opposed:
"Wang Guandai is just one of my close confidants. There are other candidates, so my father will not bother."
"How can this be called trouble? It's been so long that I haven't caught Zhao Fan and found out the whereabouts of the treasure map. It seems that the capable people around you are not very good. Just decided, and he will come tomorrow." Lu Hongru did not give his son a chance to refute, and he made the final decision.
Lu Ransong was speechless for a moment and knew that it would be useless to say anything else, because his Ziyang County Governor was supported by his father, so he had to agree and acted at the opportunity when Lu Huacheng came. If his father sent him to monitor him, then he would find a way to let him sit on the bench.
After this battle, Phoenix Ridge not only solved the food problem, but also greatly supplemented the guns. Zhao Fan and Wild Rose's fame became increasingly popular in the surrounding areas.
Not only did they not harass the people, they also did not rob and kill people. They were like the heroes of Liangshan in "Water Margin", doing good things to do for the sake of heaven. Therefore, more and more people came to join, and more than 200 people have already arrived.
Since Lu Jiansong came, he has been holding his troops unmoved, which provides Zhao Fan and Ye Meigui with a long opportunity to rest. Now, in Fenghuang Ridge, with strong soldiers and high fighting spirit, it has become a force that cannot be underestimated.
The originally shaky Qing Dynasty seemed even more chaotic. External forces took the opportunity to intervene in the land of China, resulting in more and more guns flowing into the country, resulting in the industry of selling guns.
Bandits entrenched everywhere buy guns, replace equipment, expand their strength, and are ready to move.
On this day, Zhao Fan made an appointment with Wild Rose to meet in the back mountain. He rushed over early in the morning. Unexpectedly, Wild Rose was earlier than him, so he had to say apologetically: "Miss Feng, I have been waiting for you for a long time. Look at the current Phoenix Ridge is as solid as a soup. Should I leave it to you again? I have some things to do, so I will leave Phoenix Ridge for a while."
Wild rose was still full of excitement. This was the first time Zhao Fan had dated her alone. Before dawn, she got up early and dressed up carefully in front of the mirror. She was also teased by Lan Rose and the others when they saw it.
In her heart, since Zhao Fan sacrificed his life to save him, he has regarded him as his lover, but she didn't know how to speak up when she was playing with a knife, but she just kept thinking about him in her heart.
Gentle and virtuous, little birds rely on others, pure and beautiful girls can talk about love, can they not be a girl who dances with a knife and can’t be a child?
Wild Rose has been waiting for this day for too long, at least she thought so. She finally waited until Zhao Fan dated her, so there was no reason not to be excited, but Zhao Fan's call seemed to be a slap in front of her, and her face suddenly became cold.
He said incoherently: "You are the commander of Phoenix Ridge. How can you give in and leave whenever you say it? I don't agree. Even if you beat me to death, I don't agree. If you want to leave Phoenix Ridge firmly, I will follow you wherever you go. I will never get rid of me in my life."
Zhao Fan looked at her in surprise, "I just left for the time being and went to do something, but I didn't say I couldn't come back. You, a decent deputy commander, could you leave Fenghuangling and keep following me? What's more, you are still a cold and beautiful girl, smart, pure and kind girl, so you are not afraid that I can't hold back and eat you one day."
Wild Rose burst into tears and laughed out loud, "Only you think I am cold and beautiful, smart, pure and kind, but in their hearts, I am just a tomboy. If you really want to eat me one day, it depends on whether you have the courage to do so, so I am not afraid."
Zhao Fan was stunned and said gently: "I'm just going out for a few days, so stop making trouble, okay?"
"No, I will never do it. Phoenix Ridge cannot do without you, even for one day, half a day, or a minute. As for the same thing, I will follow you wherever you go." Wild rose smiled mysteriously, with a very firm attitude.
Zhao Fan was helpless and shook his head with a wry smile, "Okay, what do you think is more appropriate to be responsible for Phoenix Ridge for the time being?"
Wild rose pondered for a moment, and then pretended to be deep and said, "Su Yunyun, and Lu Xinlei, it's best for them to cooperate, and with everyone's support, there should be no problem."
Zhao Fan laughed "hehe" and said, "You are really good at choosing and picking soft persimmons. Forget it, I will recommend a few candidates. What do you think?"
"How about it, Zuo Yanfei is temporarily managed and Blue Rose assisted?"
"Yes, they are quite suitable, so that's what they're going to do." Wild Rose agreed, as long as it's not her, and then asked, "Who are you going to take away with you?"
Zhao Fan thought for a while, and in order not to cause her misunderstanding, he hurriedly said: "I mainly went to Xiaoyao Village to pay homage to 189 dead souls in the village, and then went to Qilin Village to pay homage to Su Murong, the savior of the life-saving benefactor. So, Su Yunyun and I went together."
Wild rose said "um" and it turned out that Zhao Fan had no reason to object because of this, but hurriedly added: "There are me and the three of us to go together."
Zhao Fan said in a negotiated tone: "It would be better for you to stay in Phoenix Ridge, and I can leave with confidence."
