"General Chen, Military Advisor Hu, and Brother Liu, let me introduce to you the leaders of our village. This is Brother Ge Shun, this is Brother Chen Gang, and this is Military Advisor Jiang..."
In the Juyi Hall, the two parties were seated separately. Ye Ying, as the host, enthusiastically introduced the leaders of the village to Chen Zhi and the others. When he was about to introduce Zhuge Ying, he was interrupted by Hu Huaizhi, the military counselor of Songzhou Camp.
"You, you are..." Because the image changed so much, Hu Huaizhi did not recognize Zhuge Ying when he saw him before, but now after looking carefully, he immediately recognized this famous figure in Daning.
I didn't expect to see my idol in this small bandit village. I thought that after so many years, Zhuge Ying had already passed away, but I didn't expect that he was still alive and hiding in this bandit village.
Hu Huaizhi still remembered that he was just a scholar back then. When he saw the descendant of Zhuge with a feather fan and silk scarf standing at the top of Dongliang City, his heart boiled with passion. At that time, he was determined to make this person his idol and help the people of Daning escape from the dire life. .
But not long after, news spread that Zhuge Ying committed suicide due to the destruction of the city and was kidnapped by the northern barbarians. Hu Huaizhi suffered from this for a long time.
"Military advisor, what's wrong with you?" Chen Zhi watched with concern, looking at Hu Huaizhi's crazy expression.
"Mr. Zhuge, Mr. Zhuge, who defeated the Northern Barbarian armies many times in Dongliang City, is still alive. He is still alive..." The excited Hu Huaizhi was a little incoherent.
Are you talking about Mr. Zhuge, who used more than 20,000 people to block hundreds of thousands of Northern Barbarian troops from Dongliang City? "Chen Zhi understood what Hu Huaizhi meant and looked at Zhuge Ying, whose beard and hair were completely white, in surprise.
Hearing Chen Zhi's words, Liu Chuan on the side was also stunned. Zhuge Ying's deeds had already spread throughout Daning. Among Daning's think tanks, Zhuge Ying was an extraordinary existence.
"The Zhuge Ying back then has died in the Northern Barbarians, and the old man now is just a villager in the mountains." Zhuge Ying has looked down upon everything for so many years, and the excited expressions of Chen Zhi and others did not stir up any waves in his heart.
"It seems that Liu Chuan was not unjustly defeated in this battle. With people like Mr. Zhuge in the Flying Eagle Society, it's no wonder that in such a short period of time, this bandit village has become famous. But Mr. Zhuge's surrender is far different from your reputation." It matches!" Hearing Zhuge Ying's identity, Chen Zhi didn't dare to delay. He walked up to Zhuge Ying and bowed deeply.
From Chen Zhi's words, many people present could understand that Chen Zhi was not willing to let go of a great talent like Zhuge Ying.
"General Chen is ridiculous. As a counselor, only when he meets a lord who appreciates him can he have the opportunity to use his skills. Otherwise, all his knowledge will be turned into dust in the end." Zhuge Ying said lightly, after a few short words In just one sentence, your thoughts are expressed clearly.
"How can a small area be a place for display? Only a vast world can display one's talents." Chen Zhi was still unwilling to give in.
After listening to Chen Zhi's words, Zhuge Ying, who was originally sitting, suddenly stood up, raised his head and burst into laughter, causing everyone present to look at him with confusion.
"What a vast world. Wasn't Dongliang City not vast enough back then? The traitor was an important minister of the court, and the emperor listened to one side and ruined the great country for his own selfish interests. I have sworn that I will never associate with this generation in my lifetime." Zhuge Yingyue. He became more and more excited, so much so that his beard and hair were trembling.
"This moment is not the other moment, Mr. Zhuge..." Although Chen Zhi had never met Zhuge Ying, he had heard of his deeds. He really did not want to let such a great talent go, and wanted to persuade him again, but he was interrupted by a voice.
"The general is an old friend of mine. It would be a bit unreasonable to want to poach him as soon as he came here." The speaker was Ye Ying, who had been standing beside him.
At this time, Chen Zhicai realized that he was attracted by talents like Zhuge Ying, and for a moment he forgot where he was. In front of Ye Ying, he actually wanted to poach his adviser, and he felt a little embarrassed.
"Brother Ye, don't be surprised. What Chen means is that Brother Ye is also a rare general. For a talented man like Mr. Zhuge, it would be too humiliating to live in a small village. Why don't you go down the mountain with Chen at the same time? You can definitely win a prize." You have a bright future." Chen Zhi said, cupping his hands towards Ye Ying.
"Hahaha, I thought General Chen came up the mountain to reminisce about old times, but I didn't expect that he was here to recruit people. Then tell me, if I lead my troops down the mountain, what official position can I be granted?" Ye Ying looked at Chen Zhi, and then He looked at Hu Huaizhi and Liu Chuan next to Chen Zhi and said with a smile.
"This... with the talents of my little brother and Mr. Zhuge, he should be at least above Chen!" Chen Zhi did not expect that Ye Ying would ask such a direct question, and he hesitated for a while before answering.
"Actually, it's not difficult to recruit me to the Flying Eagle Club. I only need the court to agree to two conditions." Ye Ying deliberately said in an understatement, which immediately gave Chen Zhi hope that he could contain the bandit without any bloodshed and gain Ye Ying and Zhuge. Talents like Ying are really what he hopes for.
"Brother Ye, please tell me. Chen must be running up and down to get the court to agree to brother's conditions." The happy Chen Zhi immediately patted his chest and said.
"For the Fierce Eagle Army, clear Ye Shuai's grievances and eradicate the Sima family." Ye Ying glanced at Chen Zhi and said calmly.
"I..." After hearing Ye Ying's words, Chen Zhigang was about to open his mouth to say something, but suddenly stopped, because the court would not agree to Ye Ying's two conditions under any circumstances.
At this time, the faces of the Flying Eagle Club also showed relaxed expressions. They were really worried that Chen Zhi would agree to Ye Ying's conditions, which would lead to the Feiying Club being recruited.
"Little brother, you'd better change the conditions, even a few more." After thinking about it, Chen Zhi said to Ye Ying again.
"These two conditions are indispensable!" Ye Ying said firmly.
The situation fell into embarrassment, and Chen Zhi sighed secretly. When he came, he thought that there was little chance of success, but now he realized that there was no possibility at all.
"Let's not talk about that. General Chen, Military Advisor Hu, and Brother Liu are old friends of Ye. Since we have gone up the mountain, I, Ye Ying, of course have to treat them warmly. I have asked people to prepare wine and food. Today we will only talk about friendship and not political affairs." Seeing that. Everyone stayed there, Ye Ying suddenly said with a smile.
"Thank you, brother. I like what Brother Ye said. Now we just eat meat and drink wine. We won't give in to each other on the battlefield. We just want to see who is smarter." Liu Chuan is a straight-tempered person, and Ye Ying's words are in his heart. He immediately Echoed loudly.
While they were talking, some bandits brought food to them. The conditions on the mountain were difficult and there was no delicious food. But after a few bowls of wine, the atmosphere in the place immediately relaxed a lot. Chen Zhi and the other leaders of the village were like friends who had known each other for many years. They started to exchange cups and cups, and started chatting about the world.
No one seemed to notice that today's two protagonists, Chen Zhi and Ye Ying, quietly left everyone's sight. They walked out of the Juyi Hall together and sat down at a stone table under a tree.
Gan Xiang was a considerate woman. When she saw her husband and Chen Zhi walking out of the Juyi Hall alone, she knew that they must have something to talk about, so she silently gave them a pot of tea and stayed away from them.
"I guessed back then that the little brother must have a very close relationship with Ye Shuai, the Lie Eagle hero. He wanted to clear the grievances of the Lie Eagle heroes. Chen can understand this, but why does the little brother hate the Sima family so much? ?" Chen Zhi said while sitting at the stone table and taking a sip of tea.
"Actually, it's not that I'm holding on to the Sima family, but that the Sima family, the boss, can't tolerate an unknown boy like me." Ye Ying sighed and briefly recounted his grudges with Sima Mingyu.
For Ye Ying, he has become a bandit now and doesn't care about the Sima family's revenge, so there is no need to keep these things secret.
"I also heard that the proud man carefully cultivated by the Sima family was actually killed by a new recruit in the Mad Lion Army. It turned out that this man was Brother Ye. Chen Zhi had to admire the little brother's skill and courage." Ye Ying actually experienced so many things, Chen Zhi couldn't help but feel very emotional.
"Ye's ambition since childhood has been to join the army and kill enemies and contribute to the country. I didn't expect that a team like the Crazy Lion Army would be so useless. What hope does the Ming army have?" In that section of the Crazy Lion Army, Ye Ying felt that During the darkest period, he was deeply moved every time he thought about this experience.
"The six major families in Daning have now become a cancer for the court. They control the court and occupy most of the important positions in the court, leaving many people with lofty ideals with empty ambitions but no way to serve the country." Ye Ying said. His words obviously helped Chen Zhi, who was also a victim of the family's dictatorship.
"So it's better to live happily in the Swordsman Mountain Forest. Eat a big bowl of meat and drink a lot of wine. When we see injustice, we don't hesitate to take action. We don't have to worry about it. This is the life that suits me, Ye Ying. Why don't General Chen also come to Fu?" Hushan, wouldn’t it be nice to be the master of my village and we can drink and talk all day long?” Ye Ying said with a smile.
After hearing Ye Ying's words, Chen Zhi couldn't help but be stunned. He pondered for a long time before reacting and smiling: "My little brother is so eloquent. I originally came to persuade you to go down the mountain and accept the recruitment, but I didn't expect that you would persuade me to go up the mountain and fall into the grass. Bandit. My Chen family has been loyal to Daning for generations. If Chen really goes up the mountain, the ancestors may come out of their graves to hunt me down."
"Hahaha, it seems that General Chen and I are destined not to fight side by side. Let's drink at the bar. If we drink today, we will get drunk today. We will worry about tomorrow and worry about tomorrow. We can talk about other things when we wake up." Ye Ying obviously didn't want to discuss this anymore. Now that the topic was over, he asked a bandit to bring two jars of wine and handed one of the jars to Chen Zhi.
In the woods on both sides of the mountain path down Fuhu Mountain, there are nearly two hundred bandits hiding at this time, including some good players, including Gui Sanniang, Youtong, Zhu Dian, Du Kui'an, Zhang Gui and other leaders of a group of warriors.
This group of people had only one purpose of hiding here, which was to intercept Ningyuan General Chen Zhi and his party who came to Fuhu Mountain.
"Brother Du, you said that we intercepted and killed Chen Zhi and his party without following the order of the master. Will it incur the wrath of the master?" Youtong looked at the mountain road in the distance and said with some hesitation.
Youtong has been a bandit for so many years, and he is very ruthless in his attacks. He has killed many people over the years, and he has no psychological burden when he kills several court officials.
However, this trip did not amplify the order of the master Ye Ying. Youtong was still uneasy in his heart. This young master usually had no airs at all, but he was also merciless to those who violated the village rules. Youtong said from his heart I am in awe of this young man from the bottom of my heart.
In fact, many people present were as worried as You Tong. They wanted to kill Chen Zhi and others to relieve the danger of being trapped in the village, but they were also worried about the wrath of the boss Ye Ying.
In this state of mind, many people were quietly looking at the mountain road ahead, hoping that Chen Zhi and others would appear, but also vaguely hoping that they would never go down the mountain.
