"Bah!" The Red Lotus Messenger spat on the ground and said, "A dirty village girl also wants to serve the Holy Mother. What sweet dreams are you having in the clear sky!"
But this Red Lotus Envoy still has some brains, and he can do whatever Du Laozhuang says without him.
He looked at Wei Zhong, Yan Shilei and others in the team, rubbed the handle of the knife in his hand and said, "I think some people in your village seem to be pretty good."
Du Laozhuang glanced at his second son beside him, puffed up his chest with pride, and said: "Before the drought, our village was also a famously wealthy village in eight villages in ten miles!"
"The crops in the village are rich, and the mountains are good for hunting and furs can be sold, so our village has its own escorts." He patted his son on the shoulder, "We can come here from the north, thanks to these young people in the village take care of."
"Are there many escorts?"
The red lotus envoy who asked the question looked at this team. This team was a bit different from ordinary refugees. There were many young and strong people who looked like Lian Jiazi.
Du Laoer smiled at the Red Lotus Envoy next to Du Laozhuang and said: "Yes, sir, there are many young people in our village. During the slack time, many people go to work as escorts to earn some money for the family."
"How are your skills?" The man looked at Du Laoer and asked.
Du Laoer patted his chest and said to Honglian: "Although my skills cannot be said to be the best, I am stronger than the average person!"
Du Laoer knew that they couldn't escape going up the mountain, so he might as well take the initiative and find a better job.
"Sir, we are young, strong and have some skills, so you are right to choose us!"
When Zheng Qianshi came over, he happened to see Du Laoer's promise. He glanced up and down at Du Laoer and the young men behind him, with a hint of deep meaning in his eyes.
Although the Red Lotus Sect is powerful in southern Luzhou, it is not harmonious internally.
There are six thousand envoys like Zheng Qianshi in the religion, each of whom has at least a thousand people under his command. Zheng Qianshi has two thousand people under his command, which is considered to be the largest among the six thousand envoys.
But most of his subordinates are ordinary people, and their subordinates who know some martial arts and skills are not as good as Sun Chengyang and Zhao Zigao.
So when he heard Du Laoer's guarantee, he was moved.
"How many young men do you have who know some skills?"
When Du Laoer saw Zheng Qianshi asking about it, he knew that there was something right about the matter in front of him.
"Sir, there are ninety-seven young people in our village, and thirty-two of them are fairly skilled."
"Okay, I want them all!" Zheng Qianzhi walked up to Du Laoer and patted his shoulder and said, "Is there anyone literate?"
"Yes!" Du Laoer wanted to take a look at Zhou Yunshu, but Zheng Qianshi was standing in front of him and it was difficult for him to make any small moves.
"Okay, you can find all the young and literate people in your team and stand aside." Zheng Qianshi smiled and looked at the man beside him and said: "If you do well, I can give you A team leader does it."
When Du Laoer heard this, he immediately said excitedly: "Zheng Qian reassures you, I promise to complete the task, so just hold on!"
Zheng Qianshi showed a teachable smile to Du Laoer, and then continued to walk to the next caravan.
Du Laoer felt a little relieved when he heard the cries of the female relatives in the team next to him. At least Zheng Qianshi didn't say that he wanted to take away the female relatives in their team.
Zheng Qianzhi left, and Du Laoer's eyes immediately turned to Zhou Yunshu, who had been standing on the right back without speaking.
When Zhou Yunshu walked towards the middle of the team, Du Laoer and others followed behind.
When the people in the team blocked them, Zhou Yunshu looked at Yan Shilei and asked, "Uncle Yan, what are your plans?"
At this point, they have taken the initiative and put themselves in the tiger's mouth.
Yan Shilei took a deep breath and said to Zhou Yunshu: "Mr. Zhou, as you think, we do have enmity with the Red Lotus Sect, or in other words, with Sun Chengyang of the Red Lotus Sect."
Zhou Yunshu nodded and signaled Yan Shilei to continue.
"Sun Chengyang was originally the son-in-law of the head of our Shanxia Village. Later, he joined the Red Lotus Sect when it first emerged."
Yan Shilei recalled and said: "The Red Lotus Sect in the beginning did not have to use money to reach the position of Qian Envoy. It needed to recruit people."
"At that time, Sun Chengyang wanted to persuade the village chief to take the entire Shanxia Village to join the Red Lotus Sect, but our village chief thought the Red Lotus Sect was a heresy and refused, and even drove Sun Chengyang out of the Shanxia Village."
Yan Shilei looked at Zhou Yunshu's confused eyes and said, "That's all we know. The specific internal cause is the village chief's family affairs, but we don't know very well."
"After the village chief drove Sun Chengyang away, Xiao Cuier, our village chief's daughter, secretly followed Sun Chengyang away."
The little Cui'er that Yan Shilei mentioned was the woman in red robe who died in Shanxia Village at that time. After Yan Shilei explained a little, Zhou Yunshu understood.
"So, your village has a grudge against Sun Chengyang of the Red Lotus Sect."
A flash of killing intent flashed in Yan Shilei's eyes, and he said: "He must be the one who massacred the village."
The reason that allowed Sun Chengyang to massacre the village must be because of the iron mine, which was only known to the village chief and a few elders of Shanxia Village.
It's just that Yan Shilei didn't tell them about the iron mine. It was a secret of their village. Now he only hoped that Sun Chengyang didn't force him to find out the location of the iron mine when he massacred the village.
Zhou Yunshu could also guess that Yan Shilei did not tell everything, but people have secrets, she understood.
"I think there is no harmony within the Red Lotus Sect. If that's the case, then we might as well help them expand the conflict."
Zhou Yunshu was still thinking about when she would get her next windfall, but then the opportunity came to her.
Zhou Yunshu looked at Yan Shilei and said, "You and the people from Shanxia Village follow Brother Du to Zheng Qianshi's place. I will lead the literate people in the village to adapt accordingly."
"After we go up the mountain to find out what they are going to do this time, we will find a way to meet and determine what we are going to do next."
"Okay!" Du Laoer responded immediately.
Yan Shilei hesitated and said: "Sun Chengyang knows us."
Once they meet, Sun Chengyang will not let them go.
And once he threatens the iron mine, Zheng Qianshi will not offend Sun Chengyang for their newly recruited subordinates.
"I'll make it easy for you."
How simple is this simple disguise? It just darkens their already bronzed skin by one color. Yan Shilei has a big mole on his face, and the rest of the people have made some small changes on their faces, blending in with the whole look. Among the young men in the team, he was very inconspicuous.
Now that water is scarce, there is no need to wash your face. The makeup effect of this disguise can stay on your face for a long time. Zhou Yunshu transformed everyone in Shanxia Village in just a quarter of an hour.
Du Laoer, Yan Shilei and his party stood in two rows, one row was for those with better skills, and the other row was for the simple young ones.
Zhou Yunshu, Wei Zhong, Du Laosan, and Qingfeng stood alone together.
Yes, Wei Zhong followed Zhou Yunshu on the grounds that he was literate.
When Zheng Qianshi came over, he saw three well-organized teams of different lengths arranged by Du Laoer.
He looked at the three teams and nodded with satisfaction, and continued to ask naturally: "Are there any children in the team? Two pairs of boys and girls."
Everyone: "...?!!"
"Zheng Qianshi, why do you want a child?" Du Laoer stepped forward and couldn't help but be wary in his voice.
