He Tao was stunned for a moment, watching Wu Yong reach out his hand to help him up from the ground. He then believed that Wu Yong was telling the truth and was not lying. For a moment, he didn't know how he was moved by an inexplicable emotion that was almost touching. , nodded vaguely without thinking.
Wu Yong immediately raised his voice and said: "Here you come, please quickly invite leader Zhu Gui to come up the mountain."
A young boy responded with his hands clasped outside the Juyi Hall, and then quickly went down the mountain to deliver the order.
Not long after, Zhu Gui rode up the mountain and strode to the Juyi Hall. When he saw everyone here, he paid homage to the elder brother Chao Gai and said: "The elder brother called the younger brother late at night, what's the matter?"
Wu Yong took up the conversation and said: "Well, from now on, he will be with you, so take good care of him."
Zhu Wu took a closer look at the man's attire. Two ears were missing, but he was dressed as an official from beginning to end. Zhu Wu looked at it and asked curiously: "Who is this official? How dare a simple commoner to trust a big man?" Be his big brother,"
While Zhu Wu was talking, He Tao also looked carefully at his future boss. He saw that this man was a man with a goat's mustache, and his shiny black hair was tied into a bun on the top of his head. He looks like a shrewd and capable man. Although his body is not as strong as those of the military generals, he was very energetic when he took those meteoric strides just now. He looks like a man who can reach out quickly and skillfully. He Tao looked at this man more pleasantly than at the fat man. However, He Tao had never stepped into the Jianghu, so he didn't know how the intrigues here compared with the officialdom.
Wu Yong introduced: "This is He Tao, the Jeju Observer. Now he is willing to submit to Liangshan. From now on, he will be under your command and be dispatched and cultivated by you."
"Yes," Zhu Gui responded with cupped fists, and then he looked at He Tao carefully.
"It's okay. You can go down and have a rest," Wu Yong said, and Zhu Gui took He Tao down the mountain.
After He Tao left the pass, Chao Gai asked: "How did the military advisor keep this man in the stronghold? Zhu Gui is our source of intelligence in Liangshan and placed there. If that guy has other intentions, wouldn't it be a long night and many dreams?" ,"
"Brother, you only see his shortcomings. Have you seen the surveillance network layout he just drew?" Wu Yong asked rhetorically.
Chao Gai nodded, and everyone turned their attention to Wu Yong, waiting for Wu Yong to continue speaking.
Wu Yong said: "The surveillance network drawn by this person is unusual. When it is run, it is not only highly concealed but also extremely efficient. I have just asked the Ruan family's three heroes to arrange people to deal with these government officials. Wait until these people are cleaned up. After that, I will make some slight changes to this, and we can rearrange our manpower to do things. At that time, this will be our Liangshan spy network, and we can have timely insights into what is happening dozens of miles around."
"Military advisor, this is not bad, but Ruan Xiaoqi cut off both of that guy's ears just now. If we leave him here like this, I'm afraid he will cause a big disaster in the future. Look at his appearance just now. He can't even speak. He said nothing, and it was obvious that he was suspicious," Lin Chong said at this time.
Wu Yong pinched the beard on his chin and said with a smile: "Of course I know this. This person is not the same as me. Keeping him here will be harmful but useless. However, you don't need to worry, everything is under my control." Inside, if He Tao is a man with intentions, when we defeat his first wave of attacks, he will not dare to be our enemy again, but this guy has his ears cut off and is still so unafraid of death, the more he You come to fight against us, obviously to avenge your two ears. Since you have suffered so much and the hatred is so deep, how could you easily surrender just because of my surrender?"
"What the military advisor expected was..."
"The reason why this guy agreed is just a time-saving trade-off to ensure his life. When we relax our guard, we can escape," Wu Yong said here, saying: "I deliberately arranged him outside the water pool. Zhu Gui's shop, just to encourage him to escape quickly, and this guy will definitely escape before dawn tonight, because this guy knows that once I set up our Liangshan spy network tomorrow, I will try to hide and escape. I'm afraid there's no hope, we just need to arrange people to keep an eye on this guy secretly, and wait until he escapes from Zhu Gui's shop, then we can take action on the way to eliminate him and eliminate future troubles."
"Since the military advisor has already planned to intercept and kill him when he flees, wouldn't it be more convenient not to do it here," Lin Chong said straightforwardly.
Wu Yong said: "I drew this control network to make him feel at ease and spared his life. If I did it at that time, wouldn't it be like killing a donkey and spreading the word? Wouldn't our reputation be ruined? Now, We spared his life and were kind enough to let him join the gang, but if he escapes at night, then we can openly and openly punish him for defecting according to the rules of the village."
Everyone nodded in agreement. At this time, a man came up from outside and knelt down on one knee to report: "Report to the leaders, twenty Qingqi have returned to the mountain and are all waiting outside now."
Wu Yong smiled and said: "I came back just in time, and I took care of He Tao's head by the way." After Wu Yong said this, he gave advice to twenty Qingqi, and after a while, they quickly rode down the mountain.
Wu Yong looked at the sky. It was already the fifth watch and it would be bright in another hour. It was a good time to set off for Huazhou.
Chao Gai said at this time: "Now that the rebellious three eyes have been removed and a new eye network has been added, you can rest assured here. Please be careful in Huazhou. I think the time is about the same. If you pack everything, you can board the ship. I've already asked the three men of the Ruan family to prepare the ship, which contains food and drinks for you on the road." After saying this, Chao Gai faced Shi Jin, put his hand on his shoulder and said, "Brother, Huazhou is in trouble everywhere right now. ,Success or failure often depends on a thought, so be careful, I am here waiting for your good news,"
"Brother, you can rest assured," Shi Jin said, and he and everyone else went down to the Juyi Hall, and returned to his own house in the back mountain for the last time, packing up the equipment and weapons on the way, and preparing to board the ship and set off.
After about a meal, Shi Jin, Shi Qian, Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng, Lin Chong, Yang Zhi and Lu Zhishen all met in the Juyi Hall and bid farewell to the leaders of Chao Gai. The minions brought out several jars of wine, opened several large tables, placed Shanghai-sized wine bowls, and filled them with wine one by one. Chao Gai raised them up and said: "Brothers, have a smooth journey. I am here for you." , waiting for good news to come frequently,”
When everyone heard this, they all raised their wine bowls and said, "Brother, take care," and drank the wine in the bowl.
After drinking these jars of good wine, Chao Gai personally sent everyone down the mountain. Just after passing two mountain passes, he met the twenty Qingqi who were about to take the way up the mountain. The leader of the group saw the group going down the mountain. , he quickly got off his horse, ran to Chao Gai and others, knelt down on one knee and said, "I have seen all the leaders,"
"Is everything done?" Chao Gai asked.
"Just as the military advisor expected, that guy was going to defect south and was hunted down by the boys on the way. This evil thief's head has been cut off by us," he said, turning his head and waving his hand back, and another guy came up. He placed a black cloth bag with blood stains on the ground and opened the bag to reveal a bloody human head. Everyone took a look and saw that this was He Tao who was still vividly developing the surveillance network in the Juyi Hall. A head without ears made people feel uncomfortable no matter how they looked at it. At that moment, Chao Gai waved his hand and said: "It's really a turn of events. The current danger has been resolved by all the generals at once. I think Huazhou will also be able to win a big victory." ,"
Chao Gai's words were not a compliment. We are all brothers. There is no need to deliberately say those kind words. These words were auspicious and everyone was happy to hear them. They nodded in agreement. Wu Yong sent those people to deal with He Tao's head. At this moment, the group of troops continued to descend the mountain. At this time, Ruan Xiaoqi and Ruan Xiaowu had already come back and arranged the ships. They first arranged for the original wave of soldiers and horses following Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi to separate. Then they arranged for these seven generals to lead a small team respectively, plus the two brothers Ruan Xiaoqi and Ruan Xiaowu, a total of nine teams, with nearly a hundred large and small ships, separated by a distance in front, back and behind, independent of each other but also mutually exclusive. In response, we set off from the golden beach in Liangshan and headed north along the waterway.
Gongsun Sheng led this group of ships as the vanguard, and Shi Jin was the last to finish off the rear.
The ship soon sailed out of Liangshan and entered the boundary of Yunzhou. Such a huge team really exceeded Wu Yong's previous calculations. It was not easy to cross the state quietly. In order to reduce trouble, Wu Yong and Gongsun Sheng came up with another plan before going down the mountain. When they entered the boundary of Yunzhou, Gongsun Sheng sat on the bow of the boat with disheveled hair, wearing a Bagua fairy robe and holding a bag in his hand. A pine-patterned sword was placed on the broad prow of the ship, and a table was placed on it with all the necessary offerings. Three pillars of incense were lit, and Gongsun Sheng pointed to the sky and recited a mantra.
Not long after Gongsun Sheng muttered the words, he saw many fine water droplets gradually rising on the calm lake. The water droplets surrounded the ship, gradually rising up to form a thick layer of fog, covering the entire fleet. It also filled all the water systems it passed. The people on both sides of the river looked at it as the morning mist, and none of them noticed that behind this thick fog, there was a huge fleet coming silently. Passing here, the officers and soldiers along the way did not even dare to think about it. On these ships that they had not noticed were sitting a group of well-equipped men, and they were about to set foot on the border of Huazhou. , where they began to work hard to create their own world.
