Returning to Xihua Building, Hua Xiaorong said something to Ximen Feng, who kept nodding his head like a good baby.
Otherwise, evil people will have their own trials and tribulations. Only a ruthless person like Hua Xiaorong can control a person like Ximen Feng.
Life for the leaders on Chao Lake was very difficult, especially for Han Ying. For Han Ying, life was worse than death if he could not get out of the water. Han Ying was as lustful as life, but King Zhang listened to Lu Tong's words.
He had to imitate Liang Shanbo and act for heaven, and under the banner of loyalty and righteousness, Han Ying did not dare to violate the rules.
Besides, since the banner was raised, the brothers have done less things like robbing women. Therefore, there are very few women in Chaohu. The few women who are there are either protected by strong men or are unsightly.
Just look at Han Ying's listless face and you will know how difficult it is to live without a woman. She was walking aimlessly along the water village with a wooden stick in her hand. Unintentionally, she saw a small boat sailing slowly towards her. Since she was an official
The army sent troops to Chaohu, and martial law was enforced for dozens of miles around the water village. How could a small boat sail in? Fearing that it was the eyes and ears sent by the government army, Han Ying led a few minions and ran to the waterside as if they were flying.
There were two people on the boat, a thin man riding the boat, and a man wrapped in a gray cloak.
"Hey, why are you so clever? Come to the shore quickly. If you don't come over, I will shoot an arrow!" Han Ying's fat face shook, and he raised his wooden stick and shouted at the people on the boat. At this time, those people
The men guarding the stockade also held long bows and aimed them at the lonely boat.
The man under the gray cloak was angry for a moment. He felt that Han Ying had no brains. The perimeter of the water village was heavily guarded and there were dense sentinels. How could he pass through if he was not one of his own? But Han Ying couldn't figure out the link and treated him as a spy.
The officers and soldiers who reported the news, the man in the cloak really didn't want to show up in public, otherwise he wouldn't have been wrapped up so tightly.
Now it's okay, Han Ying made threats, and the minions were on standby. In order to survive, he had to take off his cloak and reveal a handsome face.
Take a closer look, isn't it Ximen Feng, a big shot in Xihua County? Han Ying naturally recognizes Ximen Feng. In the past two years, most of the grain and grass supplies in the village have been bought by Ximen Feng, so in a way, Ximen Feng
He can be regarded as one of his own. If he knew what Han Ying was thinking, Ximen Feng would definitely find an opportunity to throw the leader into the water and feed it to the bastard. What Ximen Feng wanted was money, and he never really wanted to attach himself to Chaohu. Every time he came here
Whenever I go out, I always wear a cloak and cover my face, just because I don’t want to leave any trouble for myself. I am usually very good, but today I met Han Ying, a blind person.
"Leader Wang, it's a certain family, Ximen Feng, haha, Leader Wang doesn't remember a certain family?" Standing at the bow of the boat, Ximen Feng cupped his hands from a distance. Han Ying waved his hand, threw the wooden stick to the gangster, and signaled everyone to retreat.
To be on guard, he replied with a smile on his face and said, "Haha, it turns out to be the Ximen Wind. What kind of wind is it that brought you here?"
Han Ying's appearance is really wretched, with a short figure, a fat face and small eyes, and his smile always has a treacherous flavor. Ximen Feng secretly said in his heart, let Han Ying be happy for a while, maybe in a few days, this king will
The leader's head was about to fall into the hands of His Highness Zhao. After the boat docked, after some greetings, Han Ying led Ximen Feng up the mountain. When he heard that Ximen Feng was coming, Wu Yong and Song Jiang looked at each other. Could it be food?
Something went wrong?
Han Ying did not lead Ximen Feng to Juyi Hall, but went directly to the back mountain where Zhang Xianzhong was resting. Lu Tong and Zhang Xianzhong had already guessed that there might be a problem with the food, but their faces remained calm, as usual.
He walked out the door with a smile, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Ximen is here, why didn't you notify me in advance so that Zhang could prepare in advance?"
Zhang Xianzhong had a smile on his face and spoke softly. He held his hands and bent down. His airs did not look like the Lord of Chaohu, as if Ximen Feng was the boss. Some people may underestimate Zhang Xianzhong because of this, but this is also the strength of Zhang Xianzhong.
, if he hadn't asked for Ximen Feng, maybe he could have killed Ximen Feng by turning around. But now, the food matter still falls into the hands of this Ximen Feng, so what's the harm in bending down to please him? A man can bend and stretch, so why bother?
Do you care about so much face?
Those who do great things should be able to endure what ordinary people cannot endure. Sometimes, for the sake of great cause, it is necessary to bend down to please. Of course, Zhang Xianzhong was able to have this awareness, and it was inseparable from Lu Tong's enlightenment. Zhang Xianzhong would never have done such a thing before.
Zhang Xianzhong's success in Chaohu's business also benefited from this change.
Zhang Xianzhong has a kind attitude, and Ximen Feng is also a smart man. He naturally knows his relationship with Chaohu. Don’t look at the man named Zhang who salutes and smiles. He thinks that Ximen Feng is useful. If not, the man named Zhang
He dared to kill people in the blink of an eye. Among the countless leaders under Wang Jiayin at that time, Zhang Xianzhong was the most ruthless. Not only did Zhang Xianzhong have a black face, but his heart was even darker. He even treated his own woman, Dou Sha, so ruthlessly. Yan Youdao was a husband and wife who loved each other overnight.
, you can kill your own woman if you tell her to.
Ever since he found out that Zhang Xianzhong killed his woman, Ximen Feng knew what kind of person Zhang Xianzhong was.
Knowing Zhang Xianzhong's character, Ximen Feng had always been cautious when dealing with Chaohu. The two parties were just doing business and would never leave any clue to Zhang Xianzhong.
After entering the room and taking a seat, a waiter served tea. Lu Tong stroked his beard, which was neither gray nor yellow, and asked with a smile, "Brother Ximen is in a hurry to go into the mountain, but what's the urgent matter?"
When Lu Tong asked, Ximen Feng had a serious look on his face. He put down his tea cup, cupped his hands, and sighed, "To be honest with you two, a certain family went up the mountain this time to apologize. A few days ago, Zhang Zhang
The king sent a message that a certain family was preparing to raise grain. Everything was going as usual, but something unexpected happened yesterday. Yang Sichang sent troops to guard the mouth of the Liuhe River and strictly inspected the passing merchant ships. However, any ships carrying grain and salt were intercepted, saying that they had to wait.
They can only be released after the war is over."
Ximen Feng's expression was genuine and did not seem to be fake. Of course, he was not afraid of Zhang Xianzhong sending people to investigate. Yang Sichang ordered Huyan Baoshan to guard Nanyazikou in Liuhe River. He thought that Huyan Baoshan would not dare to disobey the order. Lu Tong was indeed paying attention to Ximen Feng.
The look on his face showed that Ximen Feng was very cunning, so he had to deal with it carefully. But after looking at it for a long time, he felt that Ximen Feng did not seem to be fake. Strange, why did Yang Sichang think of sending people to guard Nanya Zikou in Liuhe River? Nanyazikou is located in Liuhe River.
At the southern end, turn west and enter the river. It can be said that most merchant ships have to pass through Nanyazikou. If the army guards the river mouth, it will be difficult to transport food from there.
Grain fungus
Lu Tong didn't speak any more, but glanced at Zhang Xianzhong. Zhang Xianzhong understood the idea, his face was full of sorrow, he got up, walked to Ximen Feng, and bowed respectfully, "Brother Ximen, where is Chaohu now?"
Thousands of lives are in Brother Ximen's hands. How will this food be transported? I ask Brother Ximen to wave his sleeves again. Brother Ximen, don't worry. If this matter is to be accomplished, Zhang will give you a generous gift."
Zhang Xianzhong spoke sincerely and performed this great gift again. Ximen Feng quickly stood up and returned the gift with his hands raised, "Your Majesty, please don't do this. It will harm a certain family. Regarding the food, that family will do its best."
Do your best? Then Ximen Feng must have a way. If there is no way, a person like Ximen Feng will never accept this job. Zhang Xianzhong secretly laughed in his heart, and he guessed it right. This Ximen Feng went up to the mountain to complain was a lie.
, it’s true to take the opportunity to get more benefits. When he turned around and returned to his seat, Zhang Xianzhong’s eyes flashed with a hint of evil. Ximen Feng’s appetite was getting bigger and bigger. He couldn’t pass this threshold, and he had to leave this greedy Ximen Feng behind.
As for Ximen Feng, he was also thinking that he would probably not be able to deal with Chaohu in the future. Fortunately, he finally made a fortune.
With a cup of fragrant tea, white mist curling up, Ximen Feng frowned and thought hard, as if he was trying his best. The room was very quiet, Lu Tong smiled on his face, and secretly cursed in his heart, Ximen Feng obviously had an idea, but he still pretended to be pretentious
.Why is Lu Tong so sure? Ximen Feng is as cunning as a ghost and has no idea. How dare he go to Chao Lake to reveal himself? Isn't he afraid that Brother Song will chop off his head in anger?
After about half a stick of incense, Ximen Fengfang frowned and said slowly, "King Zhang, a certain family has an idea, but this idea needs to rely more on your brothers."
"Oh? Brother Ximen, tell me first, what is your idea?"
"Now that the government and army are guarding the Liuhe River, it is impossible to transport grain through the river. A certain family has some connections in the west. They can load the grain on ships and transport it to Gushi City in the south of Kaifeng through the river. However, from Gushi to Luzhou, a certain family
There is really nothing we can do, so King Zhang needs to think of more ways."
If Ximenfeng can really transport the grain to Gushi, and he sends people to transport the grain across Luzhou and back to Chaohu, there should be no big problem. After thinking about it, Zhang Xianzhong cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Zhang thanked Brother Ximen. That's it. That's it.
Next, Brother Ximen will transport the grain to Gushi as soon as possible, and we will send people to Gushi to collect the grain."
"Okay, since King Zhang agrees, let me go back early so that I can go to Haizhou as soon as possible!" Ximen Feng said goodbye and left. Zhang Xianzhong and Lu Tong personally sent them down the mountain. After Ximen Feng left, Zhang Xianzhong
The face also tensed up, "Ximen Feng is so greedy. I worked so hard to get something, but most of it fell into this person's pocket."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be angry. While waiting for the food to be shipped in, Lu will make a little plan and let Ximen Feng spit out as much as he eats. For this plan, we should decide who will be sent to receive the food as soon as possible."
After listening to what Lu Tong said, Zhang Xianzhong calmed down and summoned the leaders of Chaohu to come to discuss matters. He talked about the matter of receiving the food. Han Ying was the first to stand up and said, "Brother, this time I will let the younger brother go."
Let's go, big brother doesn't know, but the little brother is on this mountain and is about to get sick!" Han Ying spoke urgently, as if he would die on the spot if the boss didn't agree.
Han Ying cocked his neck like a big rooster. At this time, someone laughed out loud in the hall. The person who laughed was none other than the little bully Huang Chan. By the way, this Huang Chan was also a lustful man, and Han Ying was very different from Han Ying.
I have the same disease as Ying, so I quite understand why Leader Wang is so eager to take over the errand of collecting food. Now that we are down the mountain, we are far away from Gushi. If Leader Wang doesn't quench his thirst, then who is he?
Even people like Huang Chan know Han Ying's thoughts, and Zhang Xianzhong naturally knows it too. Who is Han Ying? He is a womanizer. He has been idle for so many years, why don't you give him Zhang Xianzhong face? Brother Han is like this
Zhang Xianzhong also kept his sense of loyalty in mind, so he nodded in agreement to receive the food.
In the past, Zhang Xianzhong would ask Lu Tong's opinion before making a decision. This was not only to be on the safe side, but also to give Lu Tong face. In these years, this was the only time he did not ask Lu Tong. He really felt that there was nothing to worry about, it was just to receive food.
Well, who is going to go? Zhang Xianzhong was not worried, but Lu Tong frowned. Of course he was not dissatisfied with Zhang Xianzhong, but was it inappropriate to let Han Ying go so hastily?
Although Han Ying, like Zhuang Huai, is Zhang Xianzhong's favorite general, to be honest, Lu Tong really has no confidence in Han Ying's ability. This person seems to be determined by fate and is full of gangsterism. If he goes to Gushi,
Who can guarantee not to do anything outrageous? I intentionally don’t want Han Ying to go down, but now that Zhang Xianzhong has spoken, it is not appropriate to dissuade him. First of all, Zhang Xianzhong will face difficulties. Don’t look at Zhang Xianzhong who seems to be kind to him, Lu, but Lu
Tong Ke knew Zhang Xianzhong's character very well. If he tried to dissuade him, Zhang Xianzhong would definitely listen and say, "What the military advisor said makes sense." But in his heart, hehe, he probably wanted to hold grudges.
"Brother, if Chief Wang goes down the mountain alone, there may be something wrong with him. It is better to send someone to help Chief Wang. With someone accompanying him, we can take care of each other. We can also discuss it if something goes wrong." Lu Tong said this, too
He tactfully dissuaded Zhang Xianzhong. Only then did Zhang Xianzhong realize that receiving food was a big deal, so why did he make a hasty decision to let Han Ying go? If Han Ying had a bad temper, wouldn't he be in trouble?
Looking at Lu Tong apologetically, Zhang Xianzhong suddenly became concerned. He thought for a moment, glanced at the leaders in the hall, and said slowly, "Leader at the critical moment, please accompany Brother Han down the mountain."
The Guan leader mentioned by Zhang Xianzhong is a great man. His name is Guan Xingping. He is a descendant of Guan Yu in the Three Kingdoms. He is good at wielding the Qinglong Yanyue Sword passed down by his family. Guan Xingping was born in the military and is a prudent man. He is appointed as his deputy.
As the main general. Of course, Han Ying also criticized this. King Zhang couldn't trust him, so he sent Guan Xingping, a dull gourd.
Zhang Xianzhong had orders, and Guan Xingping followed them. After everything was arranged, he was waiting for news from Ximen Feng. Zhang Xianzhong was preparing to receive the food, while Tie Mo, who was far away in Henan Prefecture, was practicing calligraphy calmly.
In the past two days, Xu Meiling also rushed to Mianchi with his soldiers and horses. He and Xu Meiling had not seen each other for a long time. This time they met and found that Xu Meiling was much more mature and a little colder than before.
Xu Meiling naturally had strong objections to Tie Mo. After the engagement was concluded, there was no movement, and she even went to Siberia, a place where birds don't shit. Although she was dissatisfied, Xu Meiling also knew that now was not the time to settle accounts.
