Both Gu Laosan and the innkeeper who bought tea for them were a little confused by the conversation between the two.
Who is this person, and their Master Zheng? When did he hear these truths?
Lin Manliu looked at the confused eyes of the two people and immediately made a suggestion.
"Can the shopkeeper find more tea leaves? We can distribute them to the brothers to make tea by themselves later. And Brother Gu, why don't you send the folks back to the village first?"
No matter how stupid they were, they were still elderly, and they both understood what the young man meant.
Gu Laosan spoke first: "It's time to cook later. I'll take the villagers back to make sure they're safe!"
The manager of the inn also said: "Okay! It will be brought up in a moment. All heroes, wait a moment!"
When the idle crowd dispersed, only Zheng Shuan and Lin Manliu were left in the station.
The figure in yellow shirt sat on the right side of Zheng Shuan, his body facing Lin Manliu, but his head tilted towards Zheng Shuan.
Seeing that the person who came had no intention of speaking, Zheng Shuan took the lead in clasping his fists and speaking out.
"You must be the Master Ye of Yijian Villa!"
Ye Dang heard this and said: "Exactly!"
Zheng Shuan responded: "Then Zheng has some new insights into the previous issues..."
He glanced at the young man as he spoke and exhaled slowly.
Lin Manliu spoke out: "Brother Zheng, you can say whatever you want, we will distinguish it ourselves!"
Zheng Shuan nodded and then picked up a tea bowl and placed it on his left side.
"Most of the rebels who suddenly appeared on the border of Dongdu are subordinate to King Wu of Hebei, because from the news I heard before, it was confirmed that the leader of the rebels is Guan Xiao, who is known as the 'Youlin of the World'..."
Then he picked up a tea bowl and placed it on his right side.
"The person responsible for the encirclement and suppression is the Eastern Capital Guard General - Wang Zhong. This General Wang is currently sitting at the foot of the mountain, but he has been unable to capture Guan Xiao..."
Lin Manliu asked subconsciously: "What is the connection between these two people?"
The young man certainly didn't understand the art of war, nor his strategy, but when he heard the words "personally" and "chichi" in Zheng Shuan's mouth, he could also taste some meaning.
In the eyes of Brother Zheng, or in the eyes of the world, this war disaster should have been over long ago?
Ye Dang heard the voice and said: "Although the name of Guan Xiao is not as deeply rooted in the hearts of the people as Hanchuan and Taxue, he can still be regarded as an extraordinary talent."
Zheng Shuan nodded in agreement, but his expression did not change.
Ye Dang then continued to speak: "No matter how resourceful he is, he should not let the defenders of a city besiege him for more than half a month. After all, the Yanyang elites in the Eastern Capital are enough to rival the Imperial City Forbidden Army in Xijing..."
After saying this, Zheng Shuan clinked the two tea bowls together.
"So some rumors spread, saying that the Eastern Capital Guard and the rebel leader were old acquaintances. Although Wang Zhong received the order to put down the rebellion as soon as possible, he deliberately besieged and refused to attack, all in order to persuade Guan Xiao to surrender. !”
Lin Manliu realized something was wrong and quickly said: "Brother Zheng, where did you get the news just now, and where did you hear the subsequent rumors?"
Zheng Shuanyan said: "The news must be true. The rich people who fled along the way said so. I also stopped a few bad-tempered ones and asked them all... It can't be false!"
Not long ago, several groups of wealthy families passed by the village and wanted to rest. Without a word, they rushed to the inn here.
After he heard the news, he entertained all those extremely rich men. While squeezing out the money, he also heard news that ordinary people didn't know.
Later, in order to ensure that the post station would not be targeted recently, Zheng Shuan stayed nearby here without incident.
He had just heard the noise coming from the inn at the entrance of the village, and he quickly entered the inn's hall through the back door.
Zheng Shuan continued: "As for the rumor, it is something I have heard recently. The person who sent the message is a brother of mine who likes to make troubles. Not many people know about it..."
His half-brother, who has been out and about all year round, is a veritable king of the mountain.
He said that he was afraid of being punished by God, and threatened that he would only rob wealthy businessmen in the mountains, but he did all kinds of things, but he had not yet touched the village where he was.
These days, his brother seems to be making a lot of money in the mountains. It is said that jewelry and money are higher than the mountains, and calligraphy, painting and antiques are wider than the sea?
Even the maids and maidservants accompanying the wealthy businessmen were robbed of many of them, saying that they wanted to arrange little wives for the brothers in the mountains.
However, these words were all spoken to him, Zheng Shuan, and it is unknown whether they are true or false.
After these beautiful words, there was a heroic statement from his brother!
"Brother Zheng, it doesn't matter if he stays in the village every day... The officers and soldiers on both sides of Dongdu are performing a big show today. If you and I collude and wait until the war is over to get some luck, there will still be people in this area in the future. Can we two brothers be accommodated?"
Zheng Shuan rejected the brother's request face to face, saying that his subordinates were all farm workers and could not achieve much success.
In this way, the interest of the Mountain King was dampened, and the other party no longer needed any persuasion. He only left one sentence: Those who are just waiting to die will not know who will stab them in the future!
Everyone sitting down listened to Zheng Shuan explain the origin of the news, and there was a look of confusion on their faces.
Lin Manliu said: "This is false. The man probably wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to devour Brother Zheng. But if it is true, it is too strange..."
Yue Hanzhi continued: "Even if there are some secrets to these things, they shouldn't be something ordinary bandits can know, or they can be passed on to others casually."
Ye Dang heard the words and said: "Then there is a possibility. The news was spread deliberately by someone with intentions to deliberately amplify the relationship between Wang Zhong and Guan Xiao!"
After the three of them finished speaking, Zheng Shuan clasped the two tea bowls upright and backwards.
He said: "As expected of Master Ye, Young Master Liu, and this girl...the words spoken by the three of them are all guesses in Zheng's mind!"
This dilemma on the outskirts of Dongdu is not simple.
And the rumors about the Demon Queen that appeared at the same time were definitely not just ordinary provocative words, but they definitely had deep meaning.
Lin Manliu said: "Brother Zheng needs to pay attention to his movements in the future. Regardless of whether he gains or loses power, he will definitely attack the village..."
Zheng Shuan responded: "Well, I've been prepared for a long time!"
If his good brother can really get some good soldiers after the war is over, or if the rebels have hidden money, he will continue to expand his territory.
In Zheng Shuan's hands, this hilltop composed of village "ruffians" is the best fish to handle.
But if the war backfires on him, and if he has a chance to escape and come back, he will definitely blame Zheng Shuan for all his problems.
After all, in the eyes of some people, without the scapegoat charging forward, the blades in their hands would be disadvantageous.
Ye Dangting stood up and took a casual look at the village.
"No matter what the outcome of the war is, this place will be affected, and there will be no good end... If Brother Zheng has plans, it would be better to leave early..."
Zheng Shuan looked at the figure in the yellow shirt, and his face suddenly showed fatigue.
It was as if he had aged many years in an instant, from a vigorous man to an old man with a stick at the entrance of the village.
He forced a smile and said: "The elders in the family have left, and we have made some money for them, so they went south early..."
Most of the folks who are still in the village are elderly and should not travel long distances. After all, our roots are here. Where will we call home after we go south?
No matter how much suffering there will be in the future, all the village bullies and gangsters must die first before the old, weak, women and children can have their turn...
At this point, Zheng Shuan had finished speaking, but he still did not ask about the purpose of Lin Manliu and others, nor about their positions.
Ye Dangting raised his hand and rubbed his robe, then walked out of the inn.
When he arrived in front of everyone at Yijian Villa, he called out softly and continued on his way!
Then the figure in the yellow shirt led his horse and continued walking towards the mountain road to the north.
Lin Manliu and Yue Hanzhi also left the table and hugged Zheng Shuan before leaving.
"Brother Zheng, take care!"
The latter smiled and returned the gesture with a fist in his arms.
"Take care, everyone!"
In the backyard of the inn, the shopkeeper, who was still rummaging for fine tea, heard the noise in the hall and ran out quickly.
Looking at the people at Yijian Villa who were already preparing to leave, he shouted hastily: "Heroes... why don't you wait any longer! We still have good tea here that I have been reluctant to drink in the past few years... "
Lin Manliu turned around and waved to the shopkeeper, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, keep all the good tea! We just finished all the tea leaves on the table!"
The young man spoke at the same time and pointed to the table in the inn.
Zheng Shuan and the innkeeper Xun Sheng looked over and found that none of the free tea was left, and there was a very bulging money bag on the counter.
Well, I really came here to ask for tea, but I just don’t have the patience to wait for good tea...
In the direction of the village, Gu Laosan, who had sent all the villagers home, was taking a leisurely walk just now with a proud look on his face.
Suddenly, when he saw the people in Yijian Villa gradually disappearing, he didn't know what he was thinking, and he immediately started running wildly.
During the run, he missed the mark several times and almost fell into the field, but he had no intention of slowing down.
Gu Laosan looked at the team that was getting further and further away, and he began to scream at the top of his lungs.
"Brother Lin! You haven't waited for us to tease Brother Zheng! Wait a minute!"
The young man riding the horse turned to look at the older man.
"Brother Gu, don't worry! Brother Zheng just called me Young Hero! You should show off to him for a little longer!"
When Gu Laosan rushed to the inn, he had exhausted all his strength. Hearing the young man's laughter coming from a distance, he also laughed.
He put his hands on his knees, panting and laughing loudly.
"Brother Zheng! Our seniority... is older than you!"
Zheng Shuan, who was standing aside, lifted it up like a rabbit.
"When I call you Brother Gu, do you agree?"
Gu Laosan's face lit up with joy, and he said with a smile: "Yes...promise! Why don't you dare to agree! We have a little brother Lin who can easily knock down Brother Zheng!"
Zheng Shuan nodded meaningfully, seemingly agreeing with Gu Laosan's words.
Just when Gu Laosan was feeling most proud, Zheng Shuan said something casually.
"Although I didn't see Master Lu today, I was called Brother Zheng by Master Ye. It felt so...so good!"
Gu Laosan said in surprise: "Master Ye, the second master of Yijian Villa? Is he the one who defeated Liu Mei?"
Zheng Shuan said with a smile: "The man in the yellow shirt at the front of the crowd is Master Ye!"
Because of his interaction with Lin Manliu, when Zheng Shuan chatted with his brothers, he would always talk about the strange people and strange stories of Yijian Villa or Lu Fengbai.
Naturally, their small village also knew a lot about the rest of the people in Yijian Villa.
Zheng Shuan admired Lu Fengbai, so he had a good impression of the second owner of his villa.
When talking to Gu Laosan and the others, they mostly picked out the good points to praise. Over time, they all respected the three owners of Yijian Villa more.
Gu Laosan lost his smile and immediately began to wail and mourn.
"Master Ye was in the woods earlier, right in front of me... Why didn't I, Mr. Gu, recognize him... How dare I speak out against Master Ye..."
At the same time, everyone at Yi Jian Villa had already traveled a long way. At the front of the group, Ye Dangting sneezed several times, as if he couldn't stop it.
Ah sneeze! Ah sneeze——ah——
