Chapter 234 Chapter 6 Recruitment

While Gui Xiliang and Xing Rong waited in fear, Kou Zhong muttered, "Xiliang, have you and Shao Lingzhou's daughter formally married?" Gui Xiliang muttered in embarrassment: "It's just a matter of marriage, hey! Don't worry too much, Master Shao said that you can marry Miss Lanfang only after I have mastered the 'too empty strength' taught by him, because this inner Women are the most taboo in Kung Fu, Master Shao has good intentions." Kou Zhong squinted at him, and when he saw that he was uncomfortable, Shi laughed dumbly and said: "You seem to be the first day in the rivers and lakes, playing like a fool, and complacent thinking that you can take advantage of it. Can you use it?" Think about it with your little head, why does he want to marry his precious daughter to you on purpose, so why does he want to pass on the futility of you, a mother who can't go to the bridal chamber?"

Gui Xiliang was ashamed and angry: "Don't talk nonsense! Otherwise, we can't even be brothers." Xing Rong also drew his sword to help and said, "No way! If it wasn't for the help of Master Shao, even though Xi Liang was the disciple of the first lord, he would be at least half a block away from being the head of the Luzhu Hall." Gui Xiliang said harshly again: "You boy, you always like to treat the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. If Junshi Shao was that kind of despicable villain, he would not treat the virtuous as the leader of the gang, and sit on it by himself. !right?"

Kou Zhong smiled wryly and said, "If I were as naive as you two, if I had been swallowed by Li Mi and Wang Shichong to sacrifice to the Wu Zang Temple, then I would be able to sit here and talk to you. Tell me, Shao Lingzhou knows if I have sent someone Go to Jiangdu for help?" The two looked at each other in astonishment, and Gui Xiliang replied, "Don't you know? And if he knew, he would definitely tell me." Kou Zhong said indifferently: "You are at best his prospective son-in-law. If you have any troubles, the marriage contract will be automatically reimbursed. Sigh! If I guessed correctly, Luzhutang must be the weakest hall. And Mai That bastard Yunfei is the main hall master of one of the Qingzhutang or Yuzhutang, Shao Lingzhou is a gentleman who really likes to use private people so much."

The two were speechless, obviously guessing right for him. After a long while, he said with a slumped face, "Mi Yunfei became the head of the Qingzhu Hall." Kou Zhong said disdainfully: "The only advantage of that guy is his arrogance, just think about it! If Mai Yunfei knew that this was just a temporary measure, how could he give up on it? And Shao Lanfang has always been his good friend, how could he Suddenly willing to marry you. My sister is cute, your good brother is not bad, but Mai Yunfei should be more handsome than you, right?" Xing Rong couldn't help but nodded and said: "Xiao Zhong's words are not unreasonable! In fact, I also felt that the incident was too sudden at the time, but I didn't dare to speak when I saw Brother Liang's overjoyed look."

Gui Xiliang's face turned red and pale, he shook his head and said, "That's not the case. Why did Shao Lingzhou want to harm me? Even if I don't marry my daughter, I can't do anything against him." Kou Zhong stretched his hand over, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Why don't you have a wife? He didn't want to win over you, but he wanted to win over the Song Clan, and he wanted the next best thing, because I wanted the Song Clan to praise you as the leader of the gang. Shao Lingzhou is afraid of Song Que, the 'Heavenly Sword', and the younger brother next. But now that he has Li Zitong as his backer, the situation is completely different."

After a pause, he said with emphasis: "Just think about it, why did he move the helm to Yangzhou? It is because he and Li Zitong colluded with each other, and now you are asking me to go back to Yangzhou to die. How many brothers can a person have? You If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing you can do about it, little brother.” Gui Xiliang was in a daze for a moment, then lowered his head like a defeated rooster and said, "My heart is messed up for you!" Xing Rong said: "The more I think about it, the more I feel that Xiao Zhong's words make sense. Just think about why Shao Lanfang didn't go back to Yangzhou with her father, but stayed in Jiangyin?"

Kou Zhong interjected: "She doesn't even bother to pretend to you for a while!" Gui Xiliang said angrily, "Shut up!" After Kou Zhong stayed for a long while, he suddenly burst into laughter and said: "The boy finally figured it out!" Gui Xiliang smiled wryly and said: "You are so cruel, you shattered my dream, alas! What should I do now?" Kou Zhong asked Xing Rong: "The owner of Fengzhu Hall is Shen Beichang, so who is the head of Yuzhu Hall?" Xing Rong said: "Of course it is Luo Feng, who was originally the deputy head of Fengzhu Hall, no one is more qualified than him."

Kou Zhongdao: "Both are my old friends, did Shao Lingzhou find some ridiculous excuses to transfer them to other places so that they can deal with me more conveniently?" Gui Xiliang and Xing Rong looked at each other, and after a while the former said: "I am really convinced this time, both of them are not in Yangzhou now, damn it! Shao Lingzhou dared to harm me, I have to hate him report." Kou Zhong said with a smile: "Want to take revenge! It's very easy, as long as you have some patience." Then his eyes flashed brightly, and he said in a deep voice: "I have the ability to teach Li Mi never turn over, and naturally I also have a way to promote you as the leader of the gang, let old man Shao see clearly from a distance!"

Xu Ziling's surprise was justified. You must know that when a person is galloping at full speed, the blood energy in the body is running at its peak. If you speak at the same time, you will naturally speak in a hurry and quickly, consistent with the outside and the inside. Those who can reach the realm of first-class masters all have the ability to maintain a calm tone of voice. If the speed of speaking and running speed are completely opposite to those of others, not only slow and slow, but also pretending to be soft, it shows that he can Contrary to the natural conventions, it is possible to completely control the energy and sound release.

You Niaojuan, who is "reversing the law", must have reached the level of a master in martial arts. Looking down through the branches and leaves, from the perspective of Xu Ziling, you can only see the beautiful "Mei Niangzi" Jin Huanzhen standing on the edge of the cliff. When You Niaolan's voice came, her beautiful face changed slightly, and then she bloomed. With a charming smile, it can be seen that he may also be as shocked as Xu Ziling. Suddenly, a figure appeared at a height of five feet with the sound of breaking the wind, and then fell straight down as if falling from the sky, and landed beside Jin Huanzhen. When it landed, it was completely silent, as if his body Lighter than a feather.

Xu Ziling held his breath and remained motionless, using kung fu to shrink his pores. As long as one is not careful, it will arouse people's vigilance. "Reversed" You Niao's tired face is like yellow wax, thin bones, and looks like he is dying. His eyebrows and forehead are full of deep and painful wrinkles, but his stature is extremely high, which is really taller than the tall golden ring next to him. . His nose is taller and more curved than Ding Jiuzhong's, but his lips are thicker than Zhou Laotan's. His eyebrows are surprisingly thick and black, but the burning eyes below him are completely incompatible with his miserable and tired face, bright and clear Like a child, but in the depths of his eyes, there is a faint expression of cruelty and hatred that no child has, which makes people feel chilled. The Tsing Yi he was wearing was surprisingly loose, and it was kind of awkward that it didn't fit his body. On his back was a single-legged bronze figure that shone with gold. It should have weighed at least several hundred catties, but it was heavy on his back. It seems to be as light as a hair, not a burden at all. Jin Huan really moved away a little subconsciously. You Niaojuan clasped his hands behind his back, glanced around, raised his head to the sky, and made an unpleasant sound like a sharp cone scratching a porcelain plate, squinting his eyes and said in his unique voice: "Twenty years! It's rare that we Retrograde faction, Overlord Valley, Chishou Sect, and Charm Sect, the four evil sects of evil and different arts, are gathered together again, let’s not talk nonsense, people are mine, and as for the 'evil emperor relic', you like to fight over it , from the three lords, You will not interfere." Ding Jiuzhong's cold voice came from inside the pavilion: "You are really thinking of wishful thinking, first let people go to enjoy it, and only after we fight for the relics and lose a few times, will we come to check the price. There is such a cheap price in the world. about?" You Niaojuan's eyes flashed with a cruel and vicious light, and he said with a strange smile: "Ding Jiuzhong, your dream of the evil emperor must not have awakened yet, it seems that you have to wake you up personally." Zhou Laotan, who had previously been incompatible with Ding Jiuzhong, interjected, "You Niaojuan just happened to be wrong! Not only did Emperor Ding not wake up from the emperor's dream, but he was too awake to see your ulterior motives. What does the real girl say? " Jin Huan said with a charming smile, "Of course my sister agrees with what brother Zhou said!" All of a sudden, the three people who came first suddenly united to fight against the strongest monster, You Niaojuan. You Niaojuan said as if nothing had happened: "Since the three of you think so, I, You, can't be forced, and there will be no good results if I force it. Let us smash the relics to pieces, and let me take the lead first. How she handles it, I don't care at all." Jin Huan really said "Ouch", and gave him an incomparably charming look and said, "When did Brother You learn to be so careful and careful, after people spoil you, do we still have money to fish for?" You Niaojuan looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "You can't go left, you can't do right, don't you three still have no progress in the past twenty years? Don't you understand that there is a law of the jungle in this world? Do I have to kill to obediently obey my orders?" Ding Jiuchong said sadly: "Little brothers and sisters, Brother You wants to kill, what do you say?" Zhou Laotan quickly moved to Jin Huanzhen's side, put his arm around her waist, and smiled strangely on her face: "What do you say, brother, I will naturally advance and retreat with you, brows like wings what!" Jin Huanzhen smiled tremblingly under his arms: "Of course I lived with you but...not died together! Past life!" When she said "not to die together", her tone changed and she slammed an elbow on Zhou Laotan's side. Zhou Laotan hissed earth-shatteringly, the whole person flew away and rolled into a bush. Xu Ziling, who was watching from the sidelines, was stunned for a moment to expect this change. At the same time, there was a sound of breaking wind, and Ding Jiuzhong quickly retreated from the pavilion, while You Niaojuan chased after him like an arrow, and the two of them quickly entered the dense forest that grew behind the pavilion by the cliff. Jin Huan really leisurely came to the side of Zhou Laotan who was prostrate and motionless, and said coquettishly: "Little brother Zhou, you really haven't made any progress at all. After twenty years, you still don't know how a real husband can be as good as an adulterer. Read it together For the love of a husband and wife, I will give you an extra kick!" "boom"! Zhou Laotan rolled his feet in response, and did not stop until he hit the foot of the big tree where Xu Ziling was hiding. Jin Huanzhen went up the mountain without looking back. Xu Ziling felt his scalp go numb, it was the first time he had seen such a cruel, cunning, ruthless man and woman. Just when he didn't know whether he should immediately catch up and kill Jin Huanzhen, he suddenly felt different. Zhou Laotan, who was supposed to die terribly, bounced up from the ground as if nothing had happened, and said with a strange smile: "It's only him who doesn't make progress, and he didn't fall into the trap this time." After saying that, the smug smile escaped. Xu Ziling was so surprised that his whole body was almost numb. After taking a deep breath, he put on Yueshan's mask, jumped down from the tree, and followed You Niaojuan and Ding Jiuchong to climb the mountain. Kou Zhong met Xuan Yong, Ren Meimei, and Chen Jiafeng in the study of the General Manager's Mansion, and said: "A good start is the key to future success. Therefore, we must not take it lightly. When every political power is emerging, there must be some gratifying weather , It’s like a seed, from germination to budding and flowering.” The three of them didn't understand what he wanted to express, so they had to listen attentively. Kou Zhong showed a thoughtful expression. The three of them thought that he was what the organization wanted to say, but in fact he was hesitating whether to take out Lu Miaozi's historical secret book and read the chapter "Political Rise and Fall Gains and Losses". Kou Zhong finally decided not to show his hole cards, coughed dryly and then said from memory, and said flexibly: "But when the spirit behind the support of this new regime declines, there will be decay, so we must always reflect on it. , See if you have been corrupted by power, such as appointing private persons, rejecting dissidents, refusing to accept opposing voices, etc., hey!" The three of them were surprised to know that Kou Zhong had such a reason. Kou Zhongdao: "I'm just talking too far, in fact, as long as you follow the saying 'the more expensive, the more expensive', not only the political structure must be streamlined, but also the soldiers must be fine and not too many. If you can do this, you will be This is a good start, and it is also the spirit that our young marshals can raise." Old Xuan Yong blushed and said, "Fortunately, the young marshal made it clear, otherwise the subordinates would think that the young marshal wanted to make a big splash, and there are so many people recruiting so many people!" Kou Zhong shook his head and said: "Our top priority is to encourage production. If everyone goes to war, who will plow the fields? And our food and salary are not enough to meet the huge expenses. The people don't care who you are, as long as you can keep them If you live and work in peace and contentment, and have enough food and clothing, you will be willing to work for you, and everything else is superfluous." Ren Meimei said with a moved face: "I never thought that the young commander-in-chief has such a far-sighted plan for governing the country. We will definitely act according to the young commander-in-chief's will." Kou Zhong smiled and said: "Everyone who has read history knows my principles, but it is not easy to implement, and is easily affected by the objective situation. Therefore, I have to formulate a general strategy, first of all, how to consolidate the foundation This matter can be explained in detail by Director Xuan." Xuanyong then stated the strategy of taking Xiapi and Luoma Lake first, and then encircling Donghai County with the city. Ren Meimei and Chen Jiafeng were refreshed when they heard this. Kou Zhongdao: "For the organization of the army, you are excellent, but for the arrangement of the government structure, what ideal candidate do you have in mind?" The three of you look at me, and you don't know who can take on this important task. Kou Zhong said with confidence: "That is a very heavy task. If one is not good, it will make mistakes such as poor command, uneven distribution of power, and redundant staff. Fortunately, I have someone in mind. This person is called Xu Xingzhi. Now I have sent someone to call him back to the Pegasus Ranch. As long as he presides over the overall situation, we will be fine!" Xuanyong and the three saw that he was in control of everything, and all of them became more confident. Kou Zhongdao: "The second question is how to promote economy and trade. Even if we get the East China Sea, an important overseas trade center in the future, we still need a fleet of our own with rich sailing experience to play the role of Donghai County. " The three of them stared at each other, of course they didn't know how to get such a fleet out. Chen Jiafeng suggested: "As long as we reduce the tax on river traffic, we may encourage more boats to come to our territory to do business." Kou Zhong gave a thumbs up and praised: "It is indeed an excellent proposal! Taking advantage of the fact that we have few soldiers and few expenditures, we not only want to reduce the cost of buying roads, but also exempt the people from all kinds of exorbitant taxes. You Peng Liang Hui should have scraped a lot of oil and water over the years, and use it to support the overall situation!" Ren Meimei blushed slightly, gave him a white look and said: "You don't need to be reminded by the young marshal, we should know what to do. But rebuilding Pengcheng is expensive, I'm afraid that if the tax revenue is reduced, the money we have accumulated may not last for half a year Then spend a clear light." Kou Zhong smiled and said, "I'm going to worry about that. As long as I bring out the 'Duke Yang's Treasure', all problems will be solved. As for the fleet, I also have a detailed plan in mind, and I'll let you guys know about it later." Then he said to Xuan Yongdao: "You try to send me a letter to Wang Shichong, a man named Chen Changlin. If this person is in charge of Donghai County for us, it will definitely make the county the most prosperous foreign trade center, which will benefit us. It will be so big that it is impossible to estimate, if Jiangdu hadn't been buoyant due to overseas trade, Li Zitong would have died long ago." Xuan Yong nodded and said, "I've heard about this man before, but I don't know that he is good at maritime trade." Kou Zhongdao: "His ancestors have been engaged in maritime trade for generations, and are also good at shipbuilding. It is difficult to find such a talent in the world, so this matter is very important. According to my guess, he should return to the Eastern Capital. The eldest lady should have a way Check out his whereabouts." Xuan Yongdao: "This matter is on my shoulders." Kou Zhong asked again about the whereabouts of Ku Ge's defeated army. Ren Meimei said: "He has been heading towards the sea, killing people and looting along the way, he should have returned to the sea." Kou Zhong nodded and said: "Military affairs come first, I am very relieved to have Luo Qifei in charge of this matter." Chen Jiafeng patted his chest and said: "In the Pengliang area, no one is more informed than us, and we can never hide any troubles." Kou Zhong stretched his waist and said: "Then we will just wait for the good news of Qifei, we have another good start, let's start with killing the guy named Du Ren from the Luma Gang!" The three of them responded abruptly.
