At this time, Zhao Qinghu was in a state of confusion. The tragic death of his adoptive father and the villagers made the fire of revenge burning in his chest, and the heartbroken cries of his brothers made him faintly blame himself. It was all because I was too careless and underestimated the Ding family's viciousness and conspiracy. I regretted not listening to my adoptive father's dissuasion.
At this time, of course he understood that the famous Jiujiang firm was also an accomplice of the Ding family, but now there was no use regretting it. The top priority was what to do next?
The way down the mountain has been blocked by Pingbo Hall. Even if the brothers want to go back and collect the bodies of their relatives, they can't do it.
And revenge is weak. With only about forty people and twenty old broken guns, we can go against the more than 200 members of the Ding family who are armed to the teeth. Kill them all.
But if you don't take revenge now, how can you explain to your brothers that if you don't do it right, everyone may be scattered in an instant.
Li Fu watched from the side as Zhao Qinghu's face turned blue and white, gnashing his teeth at one moment, and then looking up to the sky and sighing, hesitating. But he didn't interrupt, just looked on with cold eyes.
Although he doesn't know the saying that if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight, but he knows this truth. As a leader, you must bear the responsibilities of a leader. It depends on whether you have this ability.
But I saw Zhao Qinghu pondering for a while, his red eyes gradually revealed a look of determination, and then he said loudly: "Brothers, listen to me."
Looking at more than forty eyes with wet tears, Zhao Qinghu held back the grief in his heart and said loudly: "The Pingbo Hall of the Ding family has harmed all our relatives in the village, and they must pay with their blood. I, Zhao Qinghu, I swear that I will never be a human being until I kill all the Ding family members, old and young, to avenge our relatives."
"Yes, blood debt must be paid with blood!"
"Kill his whole family!"...
Dozens of hateful faces at the scene also turned red and started shouting.
Zhao Qinghu continued: "Brother Li also said just now that the Ding family is waiting at the mountain pass for us to go down the mountain for revenge. They have many people and guns. We are not opponents yet. If we go to fight with them now, we will not be able to avenge ourselves. Even we ourselves were going to be killed by the Ding family, but their wishes were fulfilled."
At this time, Pan Loach, who had witnessed the massacre of the whole village, said loudly: "Brother Hutou, just tell us what to do. We all listen to you."
"Yes, let's just listen to Brother Hutou."
"Hutou, we will follow you, and we will do whatever you say. As long as we can kill the Ding family, we can go up the mountain of swords and go down into the sea of fire."
Everyone said in unison, which made Zhao Qinghu feel warm and heavy in his heart.
Zhao Qinghu looked at Li Fu, who was silent on the side, and said to him: "Brother Li, you are older and more experienced. Let me tell you my thoughts first. If there is anything wrong, please help me."
At this time, Li Fu secretly praised in his heart: "Jiangdong Tiger Head is indeed well-deserved. At a young age, he knows how to assess the situation and how to appease people's hearts. He is not blinded by hatred and knows the principle of long-term planning. With the leader, temperament."
So he solemnly nodded and said: "I dare not give you any advice, let's do the math together."
What Zhao Qinghu wanted was Li Fu's words. Now he is alone and weak, and he and his brothers are a group of newbies with only superficial experience in the world. When they need someone's guidance and help, they naturally want to recruit Li Fu into the group.
Li Fu basically agreed with this sentence and no longer stood idly by, which naturally cheered him up and gave him some confidence.
Zhao Qinghu said loudly: "We have such a bloody feud with Pingbotang, and there are also accomplices such as Datong Company in Jiujiang and the evil gangster called Fan Tianbao. Any one of them is a powerful force that is far beyond our current level. If we follow our usual With this idea, not only will I not be able to take revenge, I am afraid that I will be destroyed by these enemies sooner or later."
"So, I thought, since we no longer have a normal way of living, it's better to find an abnormal way of living. Isn't Pingbo Hall going to kill us as bandits? Then I will put up the pole starting today , what if you become a gangster in other people’s mouth?”
As soon as he said this, all the brothers at the scene were in an uproar, and then someone shouted: "Okay, Brother Hutou said it well, we are bandits today, and we will rob the Ding family at the right time, and rob Chase The business name is shitty, and then we go to kill Skywarp Leopard and his gang of Thousand Swordsmen."
But it was Zhao Qinghu's younger brother Pan Loach who was the first to stand up and support him.
You know, although these young men from Panjia'ao are willing to follow Zhao Qinghu for hunting and guarding, they are actually doing it to improve their family's life. These people are actually honest fishermen and farmers. They usually don't dare to think about things like rebelling. Now when they hear Zhao Qinghu say this, some people can't help but feel nervous.
And Pan Loach immediately stood up and agreed with Zhao Qinghu, which would create an atmosphere in which some people who had no independent opinions would follow blindly.
Sure enough, with Pan Loach being the first to stand up and support, naturally there will be a second one, a third one...
"Yes, we are raising a flag to rebel, but it is not against the government, but against the Ding family, Ping Botang, and Datong Company..."
Zhao Qinghu struck while the iron was hot and continued: "We want to take revenge and destroy the Ding family, Datong Company, and the Sky-Fanbao and other evil bandits. It is impossible for us to do it with just dozens of people and twenty guns." We need more people, more guns, and good guns. These all require money, a lot of money."
According to our past practices, we may not be able to accumulate enough power to take revenge in this life. But if we plant the flag and become the king of the mountain, we can free our hands and feet to grab and take it, and quickly develop our strength. "
"What if the Ding family colludes with the government to attack us? Are we no match?" Someone asked unconfidently.
Zhao Qinghu said confidently: "We just mentioned a lot of things that are not as good as others, but there is one thing that others are far from able to compare with us, and it is also the basis for our foothold."
"What is it?" The impatient one asked in a blur.
Zhao Qinghu smiled for the first time today, pointed to his feet and said, "It's this big mountain."
"Although the Ding family is the king and hegemon in Hukou, they only rely on fast guns and fast boats. They can run rampant in the rivers and waters, but they can also run rampant in the mountains."
"That's right! We have been hunting in the mountains and leading caravans over the years. We are as familiar with Wushan as our own home. If they want to enter the mountains, won't they be like blind people?" Someone suddenly realized.
Zhao Qinghu's eyes gradually revealed a confident light, and he said loudly: "We are the masters of this mountain. As long as the Ding family dares to come, we will take them around the mountain like walking dogs. When they are tired, we will Just give them a bite and see who can survive to the end."
