"The Sa family is not talented, and he is also a dull person. He doesn't care about big things. He is willing to share the worries with the leader of the village on small things."
It turned out that Lu Zhishen was sitting closer to Zou Run just now, and he understood what he said about flying pigeons delivering letters, so he stood up and offered his words and suggestions.
"The Sa family has been in the Western Army for a long time, and they fought together with Qu Huan, the general of the Zhenrong Army on Jingyuan Road. Unfortunately, Qu Huan died, leaving behind a son named Qu Duan. I was entrusted by his father to teach him martial arts. I watched and He. This skill of flying pigeons to pass messages is a secret skill passed down from the Qu family in the late Tang Dynasty. I don’t want to show it to others because I have the kindness to teach him. I can’t bear to see the village masters working hard in the two places. The Sa family is willing to go to Jingyuan and give up their original feelings to obtain this skill as a gift of devotion."
Since time traveling, Zou Run has inquired everywhere, but no one knows about the letter sent by the flying pigeon. They all thought it was some kind of fairy tale, but they didn't expect that today's unintentional words would actually be fulfilled by Lu Zhishen. Zou Run was overjoyed. Only he knew what kind of fortune this stunt contained.
There are more than millions of political, military and commercial values hidden in this?
Zou Run hurriedly walked off the stage, held Lu Zhishen's big hand like a cattail leaf tightly, and said with great seriousness:
"Master, don't mention the gift of surrender. I, Zou Run, have been sincere in treating people all my life, and I have never been ashamed of this stereotype. But the skill of flying pigeons to pass messages is of great use to my cottage. Zou Run is shameless. I hope that master will stop working hard. , I have to go to Naqu’s house despite all the difficulties. If I can learn this skill, Zou Run is willing to reward me with a thousand taels of gold!"
After saying that, Zou Run ordered his servants to bring a thousand taels of gold and present it to him, which surprised Lu Zhishen.
He never expected that Zou Run would attach so much importance to this matter, so he immediately nodded heavily and warned himself in his heart that no matter what, he would accomplish this matter even if he had to sacrifice his skin, and he must not betray Zou Run's trust.
Having settled the matter, Zou Run struck while the iron was hot. He first asked the leaders to sit down and began to give instructions before leaving.
"I'll rest tonight and set off for Dengzhou early tomorrow morning. Fortunately, there is a waterway to get here, which will reduce the pain of bumpy carriage and horses. It doesn't matter. I have a few things to tell you and the leaders before I leave."
Lin Chong was the first to stand up and express his position, "I would like to ask the leader of the village to show me! We bow our heads and obey your orders!" Ruan Xiaoer, Du Qian, Song Wan and others also agreed.
Zou Run stretched out his hand and pressed down, motioning for everyone to sit down, and said in an orderly manner:
"The first thing is personnel appointment. Hua Monk Lu Zhishen will be the leader of Dengyun Mountain from now on. After Master Lu returns from Jingyuan Road and completes repairs in Liangshan, he will rush to Dengyun Mountain Dazhai by water to resume his duties. I want to entrust him to train troops. It’s such a big thing, I just hope that Master will return soon. Lin Chong, the Leopard Head, still has full authority to preside over the Liangshan Branch, and there must be no mistake!"
Lu Zhishen was refreshed, sang "Hey", and stood up to receive the order. From this moment on, it marked that he officially joined Zou Run's command. Lin Chong also clasped his fists and said yes.
When they agreed, the brothers looked at each other and smiled from the bottom of their hearts.
"The second thing is to deal with the street rat Zhang San, the grass snake Li Si and others. These heroes from Tokyo attracted the government's pursuers for us, and they were extremely loyal. I ordered Du Qian and Song Wan to select capable people and disguise themselves. After finishing, you can go down the mountain to take care of you. It would be a mistake to stop teaching! Don’t make any mistakes!"
In the seat, Du Qian and Song Wan immediately transferred out of the Juyi Hall after receiving the order, and went to the Guanxia camp to summon their troops to go down the mountain to respond.
"The third thing is to deal with Gao Peng in Gao Yanei..."
Zou Run stopped talking and glanced at Lin Chong. Lu Zhishen, Ruan Xiaoer and Zhu Gui in the hall also looked at Lin Chong. Lin Chong's expression changed as expected. Zou Run waited quietly for him to speak.
Lin Chong raised his sword eyebrows, clenched his fists with his hands, and his face was pale. Lu Zhishen wanted to stop when he saw this. Ruan Xiaoer also sighed to himself. He didn't understand why the leader of the village, who was always wise and powerful, wanted to bring this scourge back to Liangshan, not to kill him. Not even if you don’t kill.
However, Zhu Gui, who was sitting at the bottom, mustered up the courage and said:
"Teacher, it's not because I am timid and cowardly. Gao Yanei has done a lot of harm to you. It would not be an exaggeration to even cut him into pieces, but now is not the time to kill him..."
"That's enough!" Lin Chong suddenly shouted, and he said angrily: "Why do you all look at me like this? The village master's kindness to Lin Chong is as high as the mountains and the sea. Although I don't know the deep meaning of the village master's move, Lin Chong will never doubt it. The master has his own reasons for doing this, and we all just have to listen to the master of the village, Lin Chongduan will not abandon the important matter of the village due to his own selfishness!"
It turns out that Lin Chong was angry not because he resented Zou Run's actions, but because everyone still looked at him in the same way as before.
At this time, Lin Chong is not in the desperate situation in the original work where his family has been destroyed and his whole life is lost, nor is he hysterical and like a madman when mentioning the Gao family and his son. Now, first Zou Run traveled thousands of miles to find him, allowing him to settle down comfortably, and then Zou Run went to Tokyo alone and went through all kinds of hardships to get a family of children so that he could reunite and stay together. The future is bright and there are people around him. Accompanied by his closest relatives, Lin Chong naturally still deeply hated the Gao family and his son, but in comparison, he believed that Zou Run would never act without aim.
Sure enough, Zou Run smiled happily after hearing this and explained the reason why he did so.
"As expected, brother knows that I am no different from what Gao Yanei did. First, my sister-in-law's residence is closely guarded, and Master Lu's appearance is obvious. If I don't get Gao Yanei's help, how can I easily get out of the city? Even if I get out of the city by luck, , whether by water or land, how can we and such a large group of people, including two female dependents and the sick Teacher Zhang, escape from being pursued by the government along the way? Only by getting Gao Yanei's hand and teaching Gao Qiu what to do If you are worried about it, then use the golden cicada's plan to escape from its shell, build a plank road in the open and covertly visit Chencang, and then you can return to the mountain."
"Secondly, Liangshan is short of weapons. If Gao Yanei is in charge, we can make a good deal with Gao Qiu. I want him to redeem me with a hundred good horses, five hundred crossbows, and a thousand sets of armor. If the deal fails, , we will cut Gao Yanei's corpse into thousands of pieces. If the deal goes through, we will benefit. Gao Qiu exchanged state weapons for his own son. This is a taboo. This matter is in our hands and we will wait and see. If he falls out, he will be criticized by his political opponents in the court, and he can also be delayed by some checks and balances."
To be honest, this method was a helpless move, but it also really ruined a lot of Zou Run's brain cells. He racked his brains and just came up with a solution that had the best of both worlds. After all, although he currently has two strongholds and thousands of troops under his command, there is no serious scholar-strategist among them. No one can worry about this kind of planning work except himself.
Everyone in the hall was amazed after hearing this. Lu Zhi nodded deeply and said what he was hesitating to say just now.
"Brother, don't blame me. The leader of the village has discussed this matter with me many times, and I fully agree to it. Regardless of whether it is successful or not, even if Gao Qiu is the Taiwei of the palace commander's palace, he can be taught to use rat-proof weapons and not dare to act rashly. If not, It is difficult for us to escape smoothly with this strategy. This is a stopgap measure, it just depends on what Gao Qiu plans. If he doesn't agree, I will kill this guy for my brother to take revenge. If he agrees, my brother will have nothing to do with it. Worry, please let this guy go for now. The lives of these dogs and their son depend on Sajia, and Sajia will kill them sooner or later!"
