When they heard that the young Marquis was not dead, everyone had different expressions.
Some are ecstatic, some are sad, and some are calm. Some are happy and some are sad.
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Those who are willing to rejoin the Young Marquis' command will stand on the left, and those who are unwilling will stand on the right."
There are only three people standing on the left.
There were expressions of shame on the faces of the people on the right. They really felt uneasy about returning to the young Marquis. They were tired of the "you fight for it" fighting in the world, and they took the opportunity to "retreat bravely"! You can't do it without retreating.
You will be killed sooner or later in the middle, and you will be born early if you leave early!
Jian Feng Jiuxiao said as expected: "Stay on the left side and disband on the right side!"
When Feng Jiuxiao saw that the people were almost gone, she smiled and said, "Brothers, you have been intimidated by the butler, thank you for your hard work!"
Those people were actually just opportunistic, betting that Feng Jiuxiao wouldn't kill them!
Don’t you, Feng Jiuxiao, know that in this world, if you want someone to change their family, in addition to coercion, you also need inducements?
If the big housekeeper hadn’t promised everyone a lot of benefits, who would actually work for the big housekeeper?
The three people assessed the situation and concluded that the situation was over for the big housekeeper. Feng Jiuxiao took the initiative and immediately "abandoned the darkness and turned to the light" again!
Feng Jiuxiao pretended not to know anything and only showed an expression of "surprise and relief". In short, it was an expression of "warmly welcoming everyone back"!
In his heart, these three people had already been sentenced to death.
If they retreat bravely, Feng Jiuxiao will let them go. Because they will risk being held accountable or even hunted down by the young marquis and the chief steward, so they resolutely withdraw and no longer participate in the dispute. This is the best result!
Of course, if there was another person who went back to the butler again, he would be cut off if there was a chance.
The three people in front of me must have been bribed by the big housekeeper before the young marquis was in trouble. According to my understanding, many of the young marquis' cronies either retired or took refuge in other branches after his disappearance, which explains a lot of problems.
The chief steward did not seem to dare to blatantly say, "Those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish." Instead, he kept ordering the entire gang to do things under the banner of the young marquis. There is naturally coercion, but it seems to be an element of inducement.
Quite a few!
The young Marquis said that when he ran away after being assassinated, the entire Tiger Hall was chasing him!
If he hadn't been carrying the Japanese Kirigakure Red Flame Bullet, he would have almost died at the hands of the "brothers" of the Tiger Hall! The leader of the team at that time was Hall Master Liu, who was cut in half by the Young Marquis!
Based on this, we can infer that the people in the Tiger Hall have already been bribed! The young Marquis is at the peak of his power, who dares to intimidate them? It is obvious that there is only inducement! Since you said they were forced, then it is considered forced!
Although Feng Jiuxiao hated them in her heart, she still needed to use them to convey some news to her disciples.
First, the Young Marquis has returned from his trip to the Fairy Mountains overseas. If you have any matters, you can report directly to the Young Marquis. This is a clear message to everyone that the Young Marquis will "assume power" again! Take over the power of the Tiandao Sect!
The second is that the chief steward has worked too hard in the past year. In order to allow him to take care of his health, he decided to give him a temporary rest. If there is something in each branch in the future, please do not disturb the chief steward. This is "taking power"! Take back the authority of the chief steward.
!
Third, the side businesses that Tiandaomen has been involved in in recent months have all been centralized and managed by dedicated personnel. Everyone will openly select the position of general manager. From now on, it will be independently calculated, and there is no need to use the banner of Tiandaomen! All profits will be allocated by themselves! This is
"Delegate power"!
Although there is no such thing as "let's ignore the past", the first two items still make everyone uneasy. But the last one immediately makes people want to take action, and all doubts are immediately dispelled!
To put it bluntly, side businesses can continue to exist, and all the income will be allocated by the person in charge, without having to turn it over to the Little Marquis and Tiandao Sect! This is completely different from when the big butler was in power!
The three of them were gambling for their lives, but they didn't expect that Feng Jiuxiao not only didn't kill them, but also started to "reuse" them. They couldn't help but secretly rejoice. They were secretly happy, but their faces still pretended to be frightened, and they kept saying yes,
Everyone goes their separate ways!
Feng Jiuxiao is trying to build momentum now!
"A single spark can start a prairie fire"!
We must make everyone feel that a powerful force has been formed, cannot be easily shaken, and is the general trend!
The powerful force is called Shanmeng!
A mountain as immovable as a mountain, a mountain as stable as Mount Tai!
According to Mr. Xiao Hou’s estimation, the dark forces have lost their patience after years of planning!
Starting from the attack on the young Marquis, then the assassination of General Wei, and the interception of Taifu Gao, a series of actions meant that a big chess game was about to come to an end!
After analysis by the eldest son of Qi, Taifu Gao and others, the man behind the scenes is most likely a certain prince. He covets the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, colludes with civil and military officials, forms cliques secretly, accumulates power, and uses people in the world.
He used martial arts methods to stir up martial arts disputes to disrupt the court's vision, and secretly expanded his power, ready to launch a mutiny and usurp power at any time!
Once a mutiny occurs, it may be like the Xuanwumen Incident, where the mutiny can be quickly ended with minimal bloodshed, or it may be like the former prince Zhao Wang who started a war in the name of King Qin and marched northward for the throne.
, so that lives were ruined and blood flowed into rivers! Of course, his nephew, Emperor Jianwu, was also strangled to death in the Jinluan Palace with a bowstring!
On the surface, the Great Zhou Dynasty seems to be singing and dancing in peace, but Feng Jiuxiao knows that there are actually turbulent undercurrents. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is internal and external troubles! There are Japanese Japanese pirates along the coast who often harass the people, and there are Tatars, Jurchens and other nomads in the north who invade and plunder from time to time.
, although there is no war in the west for the time being, it is a temporary peace that relies on the general's 300,000 soldiers to defend it! There are countless small countries such as Qiuci, Tuyuhun, Loulan, and Dawan, and there are many variables. There is also Tianzhu in the southwest, which is often engaged in
A small move, if fratricide occurs again within the dynasty, the Zhou Dynasty will most likely be in turmoil and the building will collapse!
The lessons of past dynasties are that once there is civil strife in the Central Plains, foreign enemies will definitely take the opportunity to invade! The Wuhu chaos in China was caused by the rebellion of the Eight Kings of the Jin Dynasty and took advantage of it!
For a time, it can be said that ten rooms and nine empty houses were empty, and people died of hunger thousands of miles away!
Is there any reason why all the people in the world should suffer unreasonable disasters because of one person’s ambition?
You must speed up your actions. Otherwise, all the forces in the world will still be scattered, and they will be divided and disintegrated by the dark forces at any time. By then, the dark forces will have become powerful. Who in the world can compete with them? The only option now is to grow rapidly.
Only with your own strength will you have enough capital to fight with them in the future!
This is a top priority!
In the imperial court, people they know personally, such as Taifu Gao, Wei Qiansui, and Prince Qi, must take the first step to quickly find out and clear out the opponents lurking in the imperial court and eliminate them as soon as possible! Otherwise, it will not be good if there is an internal and external echo.
end!
On the rivers and lakes, the mountain alliance led by him must quickly raise a banner and gather the righteous martial arts comrades in the world to fight against those demons and monsters!
Whether it's an egg hitting a rock or a mayfly shaking a tree, you have to keep moving forward.
In order to increase your chances of winning and minimize your own losses, the best way is to build momentum!
The enemy is strong and we are weak, so our appeal and influence will naturally not be much stronger! Who will be optimistic about the disadvantaged side? How feeble is it to shout that "evil cannot suppress good"?
If the enemy is strong and we are also strong, then if we raise our arms and give a shout, at least those who respond may be able to win more than half!
If the enemy is strong, we will be stronger. If we raise our arms and give a shout, those from all over the world who will respond will surely gather together!
With the overwhelming momentum coming, who dares to act rashly? Who dares to call for a fight to the death?
The weaker you are, the more courageous others will be to bully you!
The original owner of the chosen house happened to have finished moving today and handed over the key to Feng Jiuxiao.
Feng Jiuxiao then led all the brothers straight to the "future base camp".
Feng Jiuxiao had already arranged for someone to make a door plaque with four big characters: Yingyue Villa!
From then on, Feng Jiuxiao had another title: Master of Yingyue Villa.
Yingyue Villa has a large area and many rooms, and the eight brothers all occupy one room each. Of course, everyone is self-aware and does not dare to touch the main house in the center. That is the owner's territory.
Feng Jiuxiao divided several areas and renamed all the pavilions. There are more than ten pavilions including Wangyue Pavilion, Guanhai Pavilion, Tingtao Pavilion, Canglan Pavilion, etc. As for Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Wangyou Pavilion, Xiaoyao Pavilion, etc.
Buildings, Liuyun Pavilion, Qixing Terrace, etc. have even hung up plaques and pasted couplets one by one.
There is also a small lake in the villa, which is euphemistically called "Yingyue Lake". There is a pagoda in the lake and the shadow of the moon in the water. The scenery is quite pleasant!
After the matter of hanging the plaque and couplets in the villa came to an end, Feng Jiuxiao sent a letter to several people. The imperial master Gao Taifu, Wei Qiansui, the eldest son of Qi, Huizhou Tianyingbao, Longhu Mountain Baihe, Handan City Spear King Ouxi and others.
The main idea of the content is to “make early plans”!
Feng Jiuxiao's plan is simple and crude.
Please ask Wei Qiansui to send some experts from the Imperial City Division to take charge. There is no limit to the number of people, but what they want is "to build a strong reputation."
I ask Mr. Gao to obtain an imperial edict or oral edict from the emperor, and allow himself to take bigger actions here, so that he can "justify his words and follow his example with a famous name", so that he will not violate taboos in the future.
He believed that there was a turbulent undercurrent in the imperial court and that the two forces had begun to compete!
According to the current situation, the opponent may still be waiting for the final overall plan before making a full blow, so everyone still has some time to prepare for war!
After all, it is not necessary to win over and corrupt a court official, and it is necessary to determine whether this person is really loyal to you in the end. This process must be quite long. This is also an opportunity to turn defeat into victory! After all, the general trend of the world is to be loyal to the emperor and patriotism, and to do treasonous and unethical things requires
Too much determination! Who would think of this idea unless it was a last resort, not a knife to the neck, not a shocking profit? So although the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, it seems quite disadvantageous, but the law of nature is clear and the people's support is with me. This is the imperial court
biggest advantage!
Without full assurance, those people could only make small moves in a roundabout way and did not dare to expose themselves prematurely, so the situation was safe for the time being.
After Feng Jiuxiao arranged this series of things, she was ready to do three things!
The first is to go to the Yuan family in Taihang Mountain to propose marriage.
The second is to lead the brothers to explore the miasma-filled Nameless Valley again.
The third is to plan to visit the eight major sects and discuss joining the Shanmeng League as soon as possible.
After waiting for seven days at Yingyue Villa, twenty experts from the Imperial City Division finally arrived, all at the commander level.
I also waited for a secret letter from Taifu Gao, which contained one sentence: "Everything will be adjusted accordingly"! Feng Jiuxiao knew that this was the emperor's tacit approval of the existence of the mountain alliance.
The leader of the twenty imperial city commanders is named Wang Lingdong. He is a capable man and a man of few words. He only said one sentence: "According to the decree of Qian Sui, I am here to listen to Mr. Feng's dispatch!"
Feng Jiuxiao immediately returned the greeting and said, "How dare you! Brother Wang has traveled thousands of miles to come to help me. I am very grateful. All I need is that you guys sit here. I apologize for any lack of hospitality!"
When Wang Lingdong saw that Feng Jiuxiao didn't show any airs at all, he immediately put away the worries and dissatisfaction in his heart and said hurriedly: "Young Master Feng is serious!"
After Feng Jiuxiao arranged for everyone to rest, he ordered Si Leng to quickly recruit some strong men and maids. It must be noted that the other party must be voluntary. If he hears of forced buying and selling, don't blame him for being ruthless!
Si Leng said hurriedly: "Don't worry, brother, if I do anything stupid, you can chop off my head!"
Feng Jiuxiao named Pang Shiwu and set off with him. Before leaving, he told Sanhua and Si Leng to discuss everything more, and to act according to the circumstances for small matters. For major events, flying pigeons sent messages, and they must pay attention to the twenty commanders of the Imperial City Division.
, now there is a lot of money in the village, spend it when you need it, don't feel bad. I have already let the wind go, the young marquis will come back at any time, the butler is missing, he must have escaped, and under the banner of the young marquis, Hengyang has been basically taken away.
All the forces in the city have been gathered around Yingyue Villa again, so Hengyang is safe for the time being. Dahuya was arranged to take over a few side businesses in other cities. Of course, he was a smooth-talking guy who was able to take over them.
There is almost no chance of winning, but behind him are seven or eight Imperial City Commanders with jade belts and long swords on their waists. Who dares to think that he is a brat? The three Tiandao disciples who have just "re-surrendered" are even more powerful. Many of them pretend to be powerful.
Before he could even think of what to say, they rushed up and started yelling, taking out all the account books and keys to the bank! If Feng Jiuxiao hadn't announced that the money could be allocated by himself, these three people would have even done it.
In order to wipe out all the money in their hands.
Dahuya was very happy to see these three people working so hard, and he was also happy to let them take the lead.
The three of them couldn't help but look at each other and smile knowingly when they saw Da Hua Ya contentedly, "Young people are still young people after all, it's so coaxing!"
Da Gaoya looked at these three people making noises like clowns, and his face was filled with joy, but he sneered in his heart: I'm still too young to play with your young master like this!
Anyway, if you are willing to be a pawn, then do so. Brother, he has already handed over the details before he left, but if there is any slight change, shoot him without mercy! You guys, let me see how long you can keep dancing?
Just as they were thinking about it, the three people came over again and said with pride on their faces: "Master Huo, what's going on? We have captured these two families, and the remaining ones are probably scared out of their wits. Once we go, they will have to
Hand over the seal obediently!" Mr. Huo now has a resounding name: Huo Wuya! Can the name given by the eldest brother be resounding?
Huo Wuya, who had big gaping teeth, even had a smile on his face, "The three eldest brothers are indeed amazing, I'll thank you for this trip!"
The three people all said that this was nothing. One of them whispered softly: "Please take care of me, Mr. Huo!" The two people also clasped their fists: "Take care of me!"
Huo Wuya couldn't hide the feeling on his face, and said with a smile: "Easy to say! Easy to say!"
It's early winter.
Taihang Mountain has been under constant fire since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. In the past, when Qi attacked Jin, entered Mengmen, and climbed to Taihang, Duke Huan of Qi once tied his chariots and harnessed his horses to Taihang.
Qin attacked Han, "defeating the danger of Yangchang" in Taihang, and captured Xingyang of Han in one fell swoop.
Liu Bang was also trapped between Xingyang and Chenggao, but he finally adopted Li Shiqi's suggestion, strangling Feihu in the north and guarding Baima in the south, thus turning the danger into safety.
In the 19th year of Taiyuan of the Jin Dynasty, Murong Chui of the Later Yan Dynasty advanced to attack the Western Yan Dynasty and stationed troops southwest of Linzhang. Murong Yong of the Western Yan Dynasty ordered all his troops to go and block the Taihang Pass. Murong Chui led his troops to enter from Fukou and finally destroyed the Western Yan Dynasty.
Feng Jiuxiao and Pang Shishi rode their horses galloping on the Taihang Ancient Road.
At this time, there is a haze all around, and the cold wind is like a knife.
Feng Jiuxiao said: "It's going to snow soon. Let's go ahead and see if there are any inns that can be temporarily opened."
Pang Shiwu hummed.
It's freezing cold, but the horses' hooves on the road don't stir up a trace of dust!
After walking for several miles, I finally saw smoke!
