Except for Zhuo'er who was guarding Shen Jie, a large room of people gathered around Shen Lian's bed. His condition was obviously much better. Except for the excessive blood loss and his complexion was still pale, the severe pain in the wound had completely disappeared. , Zhou Miaotong was feeding him with a bowl of hot water brought earlier.
Not long after, Shen Jie opened his eyes, his eyes were calm, and the discomfort caused by the rapid consumption of mana had almost recovered.
Under normal conditions, the speed of absorbing the energy of the surrounding space is only about half that of the one who devotes himself to it, but he still has important things to discuss with them.
When Shen Jie walked over, everyone else looked at him respectfully. To them, this man was more than just a lifesaver.
"I actually came here today because I want to discuss some things with you. You all know that the road leading from the capital to here has collapsed in many places, which means that we will be safe in the short term. I don't know what will happen to you in the future. Plan?" Shen Jie asked.
Shen Jie asked this question, but when no one answered, he looked at Jin Yichuan: "Yichuan, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Yichuan said: "I will definitely not be able to return to the capital. I don't have a definite way out yet. I will wait until my second brother fully recovers before making any plans."
"Brother Lu, what do you think?" Shen Jie looked at Lu Jianxing standing aside and asked.
"Of course I want to return to the capital. My two brothers are in a different situation than me. They both have women. I think you can find a place to live in seclusion. That's not possible for me. My seventy-year-old mother is still at home. After I escape with my life, I still have to go back and pick up my mother," Lu Jianxing said.
"I remember Yichuan told me that your biggest goal in life is to inherit your father's legacy and become a hundred households. Are you willing to run away like this for the rest of your life?" Shen Jie said with disapproval.
"Brother Shen, what do you mean?" Lu Jianxing vaguely thought of something in his mind, and his expression became excited.
"Now that the Ming Dynasty is jointly attacked by the Lawa and Jurchens, even if the Ming Dynasty is still prosperous in the contemporary era, I guess the final outcome will not be too good. Instead of this, why not replace it." Shen Jie said.
"Brother Shen, we had this idea just now, but we were afraid that you wouldn't agree. Now that you have proposed this, I, Lu Jianxing, am the first to agree. I don't know what the two brothers think." Lu Jianxing said.
"Since eldest brother said so, I, Yichuan, will definitely follow him." Jin Yichuan said, no man wants to put his future aside and hide away for the rest of his life.
"Shen Lian is also willing to follow." Shen Lian also said immediately. Although he was weak, his expression was still very excited, so that he kept coughing after finishing speaking. Zhou Miaotong next to him slapped his chest from time to time for a while before he could Finally getting better.
The three of them had witnessed this man single-handedly kill hundreds of Japanese pirates from the side of the Grand Canal, and they had even repelled the encircling army along the way.
In their eyes, they no longer regard this person as a mortal like themselves. Perhaps he really has a destiny that defies heaven. If successful, the fate of the three brothers will change dramatically.
"Men need courage like you, but modern warfare already has guns and artillery. With my current strength, I can't stop the attack of a large number of soldiers. Therefore, I hope you can recruit more troops here. As far as I know , you Jin Yiwei have a large number of spies hidden in various places, can you also take advantage of it." Shen Jie looked at the three brothers.
"In the past, as the commander-in-chief of the Royal Guards, it was very difficult to summon the local imperial guards' spies without the order of Commander Zhang. However, there were some mistakes during the last time we escorted weapons from Hangzhou back to Beijing. A complete experience. As one of the 100 Jinyi Guards in Beijing, I am very likely to be able to forge relevant documents and summon them on the grounds of mission. I once learned that there are nearly a thousand spy guards in a state capital. It is completely possible. Use them to recruit local warriors to form an army." Lu Jianxing said.
"That's a good idea, but after gathering the troops, I need to go to the western desert first. Are you willing to follow me?" Shen Jie didn't say why he went to the west, and looked at the three people with sharp eyes.
Lu Jianxing looked in the direction of Shen Lian and Yichuan and saw that the two looked very determined. He finally made up his mind: "As long as it is the Lord's decision, the three of us are willing to follow it to the death."
There was a slight knock on the door outside, and everyone in the room except Shen Jie was startled.
"What are you afraid of? Do you think there will be danger with me here?" Shen Jie glanced at the three of them and said with some dissatisfaction.
With this sound, not only Lu Jianxing and the other three, but also Zhou Miaotong and Zhang Yan were restrained by him. When Zhuo'er saw this scene, she had never thought that her man had such a side, and she couldn't help but have the urge to try her best to be nice to Shen Jie.
Shen Jie walked outside, opened the door, and saw a tall woman in red standing in front of the door. It was Miss Zhou Lu who had led them here today.
"Sir, when our Jingshan Mansion colleague Zhang Qianrui heard that you were coming, he specially prepared the best banquet in our area to entertain you."
"Are you saying that Mr. Zhang came uninvited?" Shen Jie frowned slightly.
"Sir, don't be surprised. We here in Jingshan have a tradition of hospitality. Master Zhao, in particular, has always treated the adults who come here from all over the place as old friends. Based on what I have seen over the years, it is definitely worth a visit." Zhou Lu was not surprised at all and replied calmly.
"When you say that, I'm really looking forward to tonight's banquet. Tell Master Zhao, we'll go down right away." Shen Jie said with a slight smile on his face.
