At Dengyun Mountain Juyi Hall, many leaders gathered together, not only to welcome the leader of the village back to the mountain, but also to meet the two heroes who had just climbed up the mountain. After listening to what Ling Zhen and Pei Xuan said with wry smiles, Deng Fei laughed heartily.
"Haha... In this way, there is another good story in the world. In the past, Master Lu saved Coach Lin, and there was a story in the world about the flower monk causing trouble in the wild boar forest. This time, my village leader saved him as soon as he took action. He has beaten Hong Tianlei and Iron Faced Eyes, two heroes, and is even better than Master Lu!"
Everyone nodded frequently, feeling that Zou Runzhi was like Taiyi, the great emperor of Qinghua in the East, who helped the poor and rescued the suffering wherever he went. He was also Gao Qiu's number one nemesis. He not only tied up his precious godson but also Said that three heroes, Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen and Ling Zhen, had been rescued from Gao Qiu one after another.
"What the leaders said is that if there is no rescue by the village master, my brother Ling Zhen and Pei Xuan will be the newly dead souls on the underworld. How can we meet with my brothers here? From now on, we are willing to be just pawns in the village. , I am willing to listen to the command of the village master and all the heroes."
After Ling Zhen finished his statement, Pei Xuan also stood up to speak, but he was indifferent by nature and not good at words. Even though he had just encountered a scene of great life and death, he was still reticent at this moment and cherished words like gold.
"Since Pei Xuan was rescued, he was ready to be sent, and he was willing to do what he could to repay him. However, if Pei Xuan was asked to do something that would harm nature, harm justice, and kill innocent people, he would rather die than do it."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the venue was stagnant. Ling Zhen stared at the big brother next to him with wide eyes in disbelief.
He always thought that he was an anomaly in the officialdom. He only knew how to work and could not speak. But today I realized that there is someone outside the world, and there is a world outside the world. The person next to me not only cannot speak, but can choke people to death when he speaks.
How could anyone say this in front of a group of green forest heroes?
The atmosphere was awkward for a moment, but as their benefactor and village leader, Zou Run not only wasn't angry, but looked at the two people in the field with great admiration.
Needless to say, Ling Zhen, after listening to him recount his experience, Zou Run was overjoyed to learn that he had indeed created powerful black powder. He was worried that his navy had not yet taken shape. If the Heping Navy and the Cheng Navy saw the truth, they might not be sure to win. Now that Ling Zhen is here, the success rate can be greatly improved.
And Pei Xuan's temperament is truly worthy of his nickname of "Stern Face". With this person, he will no longer have a headache about the overall military discipline of Dengyun Mountain after he leaves the mountain.
In the past, the affairs of enforcing military discipline were left to his uncle Zou Yuan, but his uncle knew that Zou Yuan was a generous and loyal man. Sometimes when the old man in the village made a mistake, he would just turn a blind eye and let it go. Shao Shao really did what Zou Run told him.
When Zou Run was on the mountain, he looked like he would strictly enforce the law. As soon as Zou Run left, Zou Yuan let himself go and managed military discipline based on his personal preferences. Zou Run had been having a headache about this for more than a day or two. Moreover, Pei Xuan was not only strict in enforcing the law, he was also proficient in the art of sword and pen, and was also a rare expert in internal affairs and administrative work. He was regarded as the first serious "civilian" under Zou Run.
When accepting people, you must first accept them. Zou Run knew that Pei Xuan had a grudge and was afraid of falling into the den of bandits who committed crimes. In order to dispel his worries, Zou Run stood up and said solemnly:
"What Brother Pei Xuan said is that although we are temporarily in the green forest, everything we do is a hero's act. It is not easy to harm the lives of good people. As long as we benefit the poor people in an all-round way, this is also the foundation for me to climb Yunshan and establish a stronghold. Everyone All must be remembered!”
All the leaders heard that everything was true. Seeing the personal guarantees from everyone led by Zou Run, and hearing many positive rumors about Zou Run during his exile, Pei Xuan finally felt relieved and nodded, officially agreeing. Join the team and reach the clouds.
Zou Run was overjoyed and was about to decide on the seats immediately, but Lehe stood up first.
"The leader of the village is very kind. It is a blessing for the village to have two leaders, Ling and Pei, go up the mountain this time. Regarding the seats, I have a few words from my heart."
Seeing Le and Kaikai talking, Zou Run's heart moved and he signaled that it was okay to talk.
"Leader Ling was originally the deputy envoy of Jiazhangku in Tokyo. He is proficient in martial arts, proficient in bow and horse, and is the world's best gunner. Leader Pei was formerly the sixth officer of the Jingzhao Mansion. He is proficient in swords and pens and is good at using two swords. These two Everyone is the best among people, their talents and martial arts are above Yuehe. Although they have recently climbed the mountain and lack of credit, when it comes to seats, they should be above Yuehe. At this time, you must not underestimate the hero. Please also ask. The leader of the village, Jun Jian."
Sure enough, Le He's heartfelt words were just to give way, and they also laid the groundwork for Zou Run's subsequent words in advance, that is, although these two people have good abilities, they have just climbed the mountain and have no credit for their ranking. It doesn't have to be too far back, but it can't be too far forward either.
As expected of Lehe, he was really quick-witted and well-rounded. He guessed Zou Run's plan in just a moment.
"No! Leader Yue is ridiculous. You are a lowly person. Being at the bottom is already a high achievement. How can you be ranked before Leader Yue? You must not do it." Of course, Ling Zhen was the first to refuse, and Pei Xuan followed suit. .
"Pei has a low level of talent and a low level of education. He is not qualified to serve as a soldier in the village master's account. There is no reason why he should be ranked ahead of leader Le."
For a moment, the three of them were giving way to each other in the Juyi Hall. Before the matter was finalized, Sister-in-law Gu also joined in the process.
Sister-in-law Gu thought that her husband was already the first person besides the village elders, and that she, a female prostitute, was ranked eighth because of her age and seniority. She had long felt that something was wrong. Now that two really capable people came back, she had to give in. The seat came at the right time.
Zou Run was very pleased to see everyone push each other in the Juyi Hall. Under his guidance, the atmosphere among the leaders of Dengyun Mountain was harmonious and they got along very well. There was no such thing as the usual dark activities of fighting for power and profit in the ordinary Green Forest Village.
After arguing for a long time, no one could convince the other. In the end, Zou Run made the decision and decided on the seats for the new cottage, and assigned errands to the two of them.
"From now on, another battalion will be added to the Shanzhai Infantry Army. Hong Tianlei Lingzhen will be the captain of the Shanzhai Firearms Battalion. He will be in charge of the research, development and use of gunpowder firearms. He will be the eighth in command of Shanzhai."
"Pei Xuan, a man with an iron face, is in charge of the military discipline of the infantry, navy and cavalry in Dengyun Mountain, and he holds the ninth position in the mountain stronghold. I act in accordance with military law in Dengyun Mountain, and the entire army, from me, Zou Yuan, down to everyone. You are a gangster, and those who violate discipline must be dealt with by Pei Xuan in accordance with the law!"
Zou Run was not stingy when it came to knowing people and assigning them well. Even though the current financial situation was difficult, he gave Ling Zhen a battalion with a wave of his hand. They valued Pei Xuan even more. Even though he had just climbed up the mountain and had not achieved half of the credit, he had handed over the power of military discipline and punishment as soon as he came up.
Looking at the group of leaders with different expressions below, Zou Run was worried that after he came down from the mountain, some people would not take the junior Pei Xuan seriously, so he immediately launched another big move.
Zou Run stepped off the tiger-skin chair, came to Pei Xuan, and suddenly pulled out his sword.
This knife was a fine sword that was made by all the craftsmen after a month of hard work after the blacksmithing workshop was built in the village. It was forged using the steel clipping process and was forged through repeated hard work. It was also engraved with the four characters of "Lord of the Climbing Cloud". A big character.
The sword's light was like snow, shining on Pei Xuan's eyebrows, and he swallowed subconsciously.
Zou Run smiled slightly and said decisively:
"Anyone who sees this sword is like seeing me, Zou Run. If anyone disobeys the military orders and disciplines, please have Brother Pei Xuan beheaded!"
