There was nothing else to do at this time, so Zou Run ordered everyone to pack up Wang Lun's body and make a makeshift stretcher to carry it. San Ruan and Du Qian went back to the mountain first to make arrangements.
Before setting off, Zou Run secretly told Ruan Xiaoer, one of the four, that after arriving at Golden Beach, he should immediately find an excuse to contact his previous informants and take over the naval force as soon as possible. At the same time, he also ordered Ruan Xiaoer to send reliable people to the lakeside hotel to contact Dry Land Zhugui in advance after taking over the navy army and go up the mountain to obey orders.
He, Lin Chong, Yang Zhi, and Song Wan, together with a group of small and large minions, slowly set off in a boat.
Along the way, Zou Run commanded Ruoding and chatted calmly with the three of them. Lin Chong and Song Wan secretly nodded in admiration for this style and magnanimity. Even Yang Zhi, who had just learned the inside story, was greatly impressed. .
"Zou Village Master is indeed a young hero, different from ordinary people. He came thousands of miles to find Coach Lin, it was for righteousness; he scolded Wang Lun in front of hundreds of powerful enemies, it was for bravery; he did not care about past grievances, and collected Wang Lun's body for burial, it was for righteousness. Benevolence; it is wisdom to make many arrangements and accept the stronghold."
"It is not just Yang Zhi who is trying to flatter you, but a person as benevolent, righteous, polite and wise as the leader of the village is really rare in such a vast world. Yang Zhi admires him!"
At this time, the sun was at the top of the sky, the cold sun was tilted to the west, and the wet fog was hazy above the lake. The cold air was gradually rising. Twenty or thirty boats, large and small, cut through the water, with independent bows. After listening to Yang Zhi's words, he was not complacent. In the eyes of others, these things that happened were no small matter, but Zou Run knew that he only had such a calm mind in the face of danger based on his familiarity with the original work.
Therefore, Zou Run is not proud of his current achievements. Instead, he always reminds himself that he must listen more, watch more, learn more, improve his martial arts skills, and deepen his knowledge.
Of course, there is no need to tell others about these things, so facing Yang Zhi's praise, Zou Run still smiled slightly in return. He was about to say a few polite words when Song Wan beside him stepped forward to remind him carefully.
"Reporting to the village master, the golden beach is coming soon."
Looking ahead, a huge island lies on the lake. At this time, the lake is covered in mist, and the huge island appears and disappears.
In the cold winter, there are no birds and animals, and the entire lake is quiet. When the boat under your feet gets closer to the shore, you can hear a few bangs on the wall of the Golden Beach Water Village, and you can vaguely see minions holding swords and guns. Run up the wall to be on guard.
Seeing this, Zou Run cheered up and thought secretly, wondering whether the Ruan brothers had successfully taken over the water village.
Just as I was thinking this, I saw a hastily made flag rising slowly on the flagpole, waving fiercely in the cold wind. Zou Run had excellent eyesight. Looking around, he saw a big word "Zou" on the flag, and the ink was not yet dry.
Zou Run looked around and laughed. Lin Chong and others were puzzled and asked why. Zou Run suppressed the joy in his heart and responded:
"I see these eight hundred miles of water in Liangshan, so beautiful, and I feel happy in my heart. It's ridiculous that Wang Lun is in vain to be called a scholar in white. He really has no ink in his heart. He occupies such a precious land, and then there are the world's most successful generals like Coach Lin on the mountain. Even if the traitor Gao Qiu personally leads tens of thousands of troops from the imperial court, what should he have to fear?"
"This generation is short-sighted, as timid as a mouse, sitting on a mountain of treasures, and does not know a good man. Today's death is really God's will. I really can't blame others for doing it!"
Zou Run's words were full of heroism. Everyone nodded after listening to them, and they all thought that he was indeed the Little Qin King Zou Run. He could see the danger of this place at a glance, and he also had a lot of courage in his chest. Compared with him, Wang Lun was really a real person. It's the difference between cloud and mud. Among everyone, Lin Chong reacted the most, and Zou Run's words hit his heart.
Zou Run not only reiterated in public that Wang Lun was seeking his own death, but also directly ignored Gao Qiu's ferocious flames, saying nothing more than wanting to kill An Linchong. Although Lin Chong was a martial artist, he was not stupid. Naturally, he could hear the sincerity in his words. His eyes turned red and he was extremely grateful.
Not long after, everyone felt a slight tremor under their feet, and all the ships had docked.
In front of the golden beach, there were already Sanruan Duqian and another big man, with a group of minions playing drums and flutes, lining up to welcome them. Everyone got off the boat, and Lin Chong, Yang Zhi, Song Wan and others surrounded Zou Run and strode forward.
San Ruan, Du Qian and the man all came to pay their respects and greeted them with salutes. Zou Run stepped forward to help them up one by one. When it was their turn to help the Ruan brothers, he saw them secretly winking at him. He suddenly understood and nodded slightly in response.
When it was his turn to lift up the last man, Zou Run took a closer look and saw that he was wearing a deep-brimmed warm hat, a mink fur coat, and a pair of deer skin narrow boots. He was tall and tall in appearance. Two fists, a bone-faced face, and three beards. He secretly thought that this person must be Zhu Gui, so he grabbed his hand and kept saying hello.
"Okay, okay! I have long heard that the name of Hulu in the dry land has been spread in the Jianghu. Today I saw it, and it is indeed true. The former Wang Lun did not recognize the good men and buried the talents. Now that Wang Lun is dead, Zhu Gui's brother has made many contributions to the village. He should be in the village. There is a high chair in the Juyi Hall. What do you think?"
After saying that, Zou Run held Zhu Gui's hand with a smile, looked around the crowd, and asked.
Zhu Gui is an old man from Liangshan with deep qualifications. He is in charge of the hotel at the foot of the mountain and has made great contributions. However, Wang Lun was so petty before that he pretended not to notice. This time Zou Run promoted him from the big boss to the leader as soon as they met. Everyone said that Xinzhai The people in charge were very knowledgeable and didn't want to be humble, so they all nodded in agreement.
Du Qian and Song Wan were naturally happy that their old brother from Liangshan was promoted. Lin Chong was grateful to Zhu Gui for meeting and recommending him, and he also stepped forward to congratulate Zhu Gui.
Surrounded by everyone, Zhu Gui suppressed his excitement and barely controlled not to laugh out loud. He bowed and bowed in return.
An hour ago, Ruan Xiaoqi suddenly came to the hotel to see him, claiming that Wang Lun was dead. Everyone recommended Zou Run as the leader, and Zou Run ordered him to go back to the mountain to meet him.
At that time, Zhu Gui felt something in his heart. He keenly realized that this was an opportunity. He had long been dissatisfied with Wang Lun's behavior, so he agreed. He took his belongings with him, led a few confidants, locked the store door, and quickly followed Ruan Xiaoqi back to the mountain. But he didn't expect that the famous Xiao Qin King would be so generous and take the position of leader of the village.
"Zhu Gui thanked the village master for his promotion. Zhu Gui is willing to follow the village master and hold whips and stirrups for the village master!"
After Zhu Gui came back to his senses, he quickly saluted Zou Run. Zou Run naturally understood the feeling of being reused. Seeing that Zhu Gui was so happy that he wanted to bow down, he quickly caught him and said:
"Brother, don't be too polite. From today on, we are all brothers. Zou Run is young and unknown, and has little talent and wisdom. In the future, you will need all your brothers to support and assist you. I pay my respects to Zou Run."
After saying that, Zou Run turned around and saluted everyone. Everyone said that the leader of the village was so humble and kind, and couldn't help but shout. The atmosphere was extremely harmonious and everyone was happy.
Then the group of people set off, Du Qian waved his hand, and the minions brought a soft sedan, and asked Zou Run to ride up the mountain in the sedan.
Zou Run frowned slightly, turned around, and said to everyone: "Today you have elected me as the Lord of Liangshan. I would like to issue an order to inform all the brothers in the village, okay?"
Hearing these words, all the monks Zhang Er were confused. Du Qian, Song Wan and others thought, you are the leader of the village. We dare not obey any orders. However, although they thought this in their hearts, they did not dare to show it on their faces. , instead he took the lead and said:
"Who dares to disrespect the command of the village master? Please give instructions from the village master."
Zou Run nodded slightly and said loudly to the minions who were lining up to greet him and carrying sedans:
"We, heroes, have our own hands and feet. The big and small bosses on the mountain are all our brothers. How can I, Zou Run, treat my brothers as animals?"
"From now on, this type of sedan riding in the mountain village should be abolished! Except for the elderly or injured, no one is allowed to ride on it! Anyone who disobeys the order, regardless of the leader of the village, will be punished with military sticks, no mistakes!"
After saying this, he turned around gracefully and took the lead in walking up the mountain, leaving a group of small and large minions standing there weeping with gratitude and calling the leader of the village wise.
