At this time, a maid with outstanding appearance came out quickly. It was Ling'er whom she had met several times before. At this time, she said with a face of joy: "Master Lin is here. The lady asked me to take you in."

Lin Dongzheng didn't know how to get in, but when he saw Ling'er coming out, he was overjoyed and immediately nodded in agreement.

Following Ling'er through the crowd, he sat down at a position near the high platform. These positions were reserved for those with status. At this time, everyone saw Ling'er coming in with a strange boy, and they all cast doubtful glances.

.

It's just that Ling'er is the little dancing girl's maid, so everyone naturally recognizes her and secretly guesses about the relationship between Lin Dong and the little dancing girl.

The expressions of these people were seen by Zhu Guoxiang, and their faces suddenly became unhappy. Unlike him, Yang Ze had a smile on his face at this time, as if he appreciated Lin Dong.

Lin Dong ignored everyone's gazes, bowed to Zhu Guoxiang and others from afar, and then sat down in a conspicuous position.

Cheng San did not follow Lin Dong in. According to Lin Dong's instructions, he must arrange his manpower tonight and be ready to carry materials at any time.

Although he still didn't know what Lin Dong was going to do, he already felt that tonight's matter was definitely not simple, especially since he had followed Lin Dong to inquire about Leader Zhao and knew that Fengyang City stored a large amount of materials.

"Does the general want to rebel?" Thinking of this, Cheng San almost jumped up.

But when he thought about it carefully, it seemed impossible. After all, the general was an official of the imperial court. There was no need to take risks. After thinking about this clearly, he gradually calmed down. After thinking about it, he finally decided to gather his brothers first.

, it’s easy to deal with anything if something happens, maybe today is your chance?

He thought so in his heart, and when he started to take action, soon, his brothers were summoned by him, and this time it was the Tieniu who took the lead. As for Gangzi, he did not come together this time, obviously he was afraid.

.

After the last experience, everyone who followed Cheng San got benefits. These brothers naturally had to show off when they went back, making those brothers who didn't go with them jealous. The number of people who had the opportunity to come this time was obviously better than last time.

Much more.

Cheng San made a rough count and found that there were fifty or sixty people. Almost all of these people he had played with since childhood, and they were trustworthy. However, when he didn't see Gangzi, there was a clear trace of regret on his face.

.

Gangzi has been playing with him since childhood, but it's a pity that he is a bit cowardly.

After gathering the brothers together, Cheng San was not polite and became the leader himself.

According to his own statement, he is the popular person next to the general. If any of you are disobedient, I can let you go back and forth wherever you want as long as I say something in front of the general. As for joining the army, don't even think about it.

His brothers were so frightened by his deception that they all followed his orders obediently.

At this time, Cheng San was still not sure what Lin Dong was going to do, so he did not assign any tasks, let alone weapons. He just asked them to wait for his orders in a ruined temple.

Although these people usually hung out on the streets, they didn't know much about the army. After being fooled by him for a while, they didn't dare to say anything. They all became calm and honest, and agreed to wait for Cheng San's orders in the ruined temple.

After arranging everything, Cheng San turned around and left the ruined temple. According to what he said, the general also arranged other tasks. As for this place, he temporarily handed it over to Tieniu.

Although Tieniu's name sounds simple and honest, he is very smart and a good team leader.

Moreover, Tie Niu and Cheng San grew up together. Because Tie Niu was strong and rarely defeated in fights, his brothers also believed in him.

After everything was arranged, Cheng San didn't dare to stay. His task tonight was to arrange for migrant workers to move the goods. If this was not done well, the general would probably skin him, so he didn't dare to neglect it and left the ruined temple.

According to Lin Dong's arrangement, the workers were organized on various empty ships, and they only waited for Lin Dong's order to start moving.

Just as Cheng San was making secret arrangements, Li Da had already mixed into the crowd with a group of soldiers dressed as traders' pawns, preparing to cause chaos.

At this moment, an acquaintance suddenly emerged from the alley and came straight towards him.

Li Da was startled and hurriedly put his hand on the handle of the knife, ready to respond to the enemy at any time.

It turned out that Cheng San had just settled the workers and was about to come back to inquire about the news. Unexpectedly, he met Li Da here. He was worried about not being able to find the equipment. At this time, he was very happy to see Li Da, so he rushed over directly.

"General Li, what are you doing?"

Seeing that Li Da's sword had been halfway drawn out, Cheng San hurriedly stopped and said in shock.

It was only then that Li Da saw clearly that the person who came was actually Cheng San, and he was secretly surprised. Wasn't this kid always following the general? Why is he here?

"I'm here to perform a mission under the order of the general." Li Da didn't know why Cheng San was here, but Lin Dong had repeatedly confessed that his mission was only known to those who performed the mission with him, and no one else was allowed to know.

Therefore, he did not dare to reveal his mission.

Seeing his attire, Cheng San confirmed his suspicions and said secretly: "It seems that the general really has something big to do. This is my chance, Cheng San. Isn't the general worried about the autumn grain storage? What if?"

If you have the chance, why not..."

Thinking of this, Cheng San immediately smiled and said: "General Li Da, I have something to discuss with you."

"What's the matter?" Li Da became wary. This kid Cheng San is obviously a villain. What he asks for will definitely not be a good thing. It's just that this kid follows the general all day long and it's hard to offend him. If there is nothing against the principles,

, but I can agree to him.

"Actually, it's nothing serious. I just want to borrow some weapons." Cheng San said lightly.

"Borrow weapons? No!" Li Da refused directly.

"General Li, please think clearly. I am doing things for the general. If I don't get things done, the general will blame him..."

"Is this really what the general ordered?" Li Da hesitated. His development from a hungry farmer to a general leading troops was supported by Lin Dong, so he was also loyal to Lin Dong.

, Now I heard that something happened to Lin Dong, how dare I not be careful.

"This is still false. If the general hadn't ordered me to come, I would still be with the general." Cheng San said.

"Since it's the general's order, it's no problem. How many weapons do you need?"

Cheng San made an estimate, raised one hand and stretched out five fingers.

"Five handfuls?"

Cheng San shook his head and said: "More than fifty!" He had already calculated that the group of brothers Tieniu brought had more than fifty people. Since he was going to the Yamen to get the seal, it would be better to bring more people with him.

.

"So many?" Li Da was shocked. More than fifty long knives could already form a team of more than fifty people.

But Cheng San had already said that this was Lin Dong's order. Although Li Da was confused, he couldn't refuse. After thinking for a while, he found a guard and asked him to take Cheng San to collect the weapons. Of course, to collect the weapons

Before that, a written document must be established. Anton's army is very strict about material management. If more than fifty long knives were lost out of thin air, it would be enough for him to drink a pot.

Fortunately, according to the rules of the Anton Army, all equipment is in reserve. This is to prevent damage to the weapons and affect combat effectiveness, so these fifty long knives will not affect the army's equipment supply.

After Cheng San received the ordnance, he immediately called the brothers over and said solemnly: "I have already begged the general. The general said that whether you can join the Anton Army depends on your performance tonight.

Well, as long as you can help me, oh, not the general, help the general get this done, then I will be able to join the Anton Army."

Everyone was excited when they heard that they could join the Anton Army. They all asked Cheng San what his mission was tonight. Cheng San coughed and said, "According to the rules of my Anton Army, you don't need to know the mission tonight. You just need to follow the general's instructions."

Just follow the orders."

"Yes!" Everyone agreed enthusiastically.

How could Lin Dong know that Cheng San would make such a big noise for him just after he left for a while? If he knew that Cheng San was going to take advantage of the chaos to take down the principal's office, he would be so shocked that his jaw would drop.

, this is a real rebellion.

Fortunately, Cheng San is not too stupid. After he found those people, he also changed out of his clerk's clothes and still put on the civilian clothes he had before.

In this way, even if someone sees him, the other person will not be able to identify him, let alone associate him with Lin Dong.

As soon as Lin Dong sat down here, a maid brought a cup of tea. At the same time, a young man came over. This man was handsome and dressed as a scholar. He held up his hands with a smile on his face and said, "I don't know what I call you."

"I'm Lin Dong." Seeing this man's majestic appearance, Lin Dong didn't dare to support him and hurriedly stood up to return the courtesy.

"It turns out to be Master Lin. My surname is Fangyu, and my courtesy name is Chaozong."

"Are you Hou Chaozong? I've admired your name for a long time!" Lin Dong was startled. He didn't expect that he could see Hou Chaozong, one of the four young masters of Fushe. Judging from his appearance, he looked very talented, but he was a little thinner and a little more feminine.

Probably these were the literati of the late Ming Dynasty.

"It's just a little name, it's not worth mentioning." Hou Chaozong waved his hands repeatedly, but his face was quite proud.

Lin Dong said with a smile: "I've heard about the young master's name a long time ago, and I'm really lucky to meet him today."

"Thank you, thank you!" The two of them took their seats after being polite. At this time, Gu Hengbo had already walked out from the high platform.

Lin Dong raised his eyes and saw that this woman had a slim figure and was a bit bohemian. At this time, Gu Hengbo's clothes were not luxurious, but they were very decent and generous on her.

It is said that Huang Daozhou, a Neo-Confucian at that time, boasted that he had "a prostitute in his eyes but no prostitute in his heart". When he was drunk, the students from Donglin invited Hengbo to share his clothes and bed together to see if he really had Liu Xiahui's abilities.
