Chapter 94 Uninvited guests
Before Di Lie could reach the meeting hall, which was located in the middle of the village and faced north and south, he saw Chen Gui chatting with several civil servants from a distance. // Free e-book download // Di Lie quickly approached and said curiously:
"Didn't you say there were guests? Why did you..."
Chen Gui said calmly: "This guest is not suitable to be received by lower officials. Currently, Commander Guan and Liu Sinong are receiving him in the meeting wing. I hope they will not reveal too much about the village..."
"You are not suitable for reception, but they can..." Di Lie thought for a moment, and then realized that the person coming was most likely...
When Di Lie stepped onto the bluestone in the meeting hall, Guan Zhongyong and Liu Erping, who were talking to someone, quickly stood up and saluted: "I have met the leader of the village."
Di Lie nodded in greeting, and when he glanced at the visitors, the visitors also focused their attention on him.
There were five guests in total. Except for a man in his thirties with sallow skin and a thin face sitting at the front seat who looked somewhat capable, there was nothing unusual about the other four people.
After the five visitors saw Di Lie, each of them had a look of surprise on their face. It was hard to imagine that such a young man would replace Guan Zhongyong, who was quite famous in the Taihang villages.
However, the few visitors were obviously not idle people. They quickly calmed down and bowed their hands to Di Lie as a gift: "Xu Qing, the third leader under Jiao Da, the leader of Black Cliff Village, has met the leader of Di Village; Wang, the second leader of Dashiling Village,
Enter, I have met the head of Di Da; the head of Xiaoshiling Village, Ping San, has met the head of the house; the head of Songfengling Village, Yu Qi, has met the head of the house; the head of Xianju Village, Wang Youyi, has met the head of the house."
Di Lie had already guessed that most of these visitors were people from various villages in Taihang, but he did not expect that each of these people was more powerful than the last. First there were some three leaders, then the second boss, and finally they were all the same leaders of each village...
…Hey guys, what kind of day is it today? It came so neatly.
At this time, Xu Qing, the three leaders of Heiya Village, that is, the thin man who looked somewhat capable, said: "I am waiting for the leaders of each village to come to the door today, and I have the temerity to disturb you. I am really cold..."
As soon as Xu Qing opened his mouth, Di Lie knew that his identity was not simple. Logically speaking, the four people who came with him were either the leader or the second-in-command of the village. But they pushed this three-headed leader to take the seat, and every time
Every time, he was asked to speak first, with a vague intention of following his lead. From this point, we can tell that if this person is not really capable, then it must be that the copycat behind him is very strong... Wait, Heiya copycat?
It seems that Guan Zhongyong mentioned it at the beginning. It is one of the four strongest strongholds among the Taihang villages. The owner of the village seems to be called...
Di Lie looked sideways at Guan Zhongyong, who looked slightly bitter, nodded, and said softly: "It is none other than Leader Xu Qing, the 'Skinny Tiger' and Xu San, one of the four tigers under the leadership of Jiao Dazhai, Jiao Wentong."
Di Lie calmly returned the greetings to everyone, then walked from the easy way to the first seat in the middle and sat down, and asked calmly: "But the village leaders and the heroes came hand in hand. Come to the village, what do you want to teach me?"
Xu Qing grinned and seemed to smile. It was just because his face was too thin and skinny, and he couldn't squeeze out any muscles to show the expression of "laughing", so he looked very weird. Of course,
Leader Xu San was indifferent and said to himself: "Although the leader of Di Village has recently come to power, he probably knows about our Taihang Nineteen Village Alliance, right?"
Di Lie nodded: "The Nineteenth Village Alliance attacked Luan City. The leader of this village has also heard about it. It's a pity..."
Xu Qing said calmly: "Although our Taihang villages have suffered minor setbacks, their vitality has not been damaged. It's just that each village has suffered losses, and everyone is thinking of ways to make up for it... The six villages we gathered today are all members of the Nineteenth Village Alliance.
Members. Back then, they made a blood alliance and vowed to be united and help each other..."
At this time, Guan Zhongyong couldn't help but interjected: "The covenant of that day was only for the attack on Luan City. Since the failure of the attack on the city and the attack by thousands of Jin Army cavalry, the Nineteenth Village Alliance has long been disbanded. Xu Santou took charge of the old affairs
It seems inappropriate to mention it again..."
Xu Qing narrowed his eyes, and with a flash of light, he said coldly: "Does Guan Er, the head of the family, want to break the contract and withdraw from the alliance?"
Guan Zhongyong said solemnly: "Guan is no longer the second in command, please don't call him this anymore; and since the death of the village leader Liu, the village has long been depopulated, and its strength has plummeted. It has long been no longer qualified to be ranked with other big villages. Perhaps
The three leaders have spoken seriously."
At this time, Liu Erping also muttered in a low voice: "There are still nineteen villages. That day, the 800-horse cavalry of that bastard Cake Cake rushed into the enemy, and the men and horses of three villages were instantly wiped out. Now a bunch of orphans and widows are left behind.
Damn it, I don’t even dare to touch that village..."
Xu Qing looked stern and said solemnly: "Guan Er... Well, the Guan leader means that he obviously doesn't take our Nineteenth Village Alliance seriously. Good! Very good! Very good!"
Di Lie had already heard something about it. This Xu person was one of the Nineteen Villages Alliance who killed Tianping Village in one go. He also mentioned something about being like-minded and helping each other... Obviously, they must have heard it.
He knew that Tianping Village was no longer what it used to be. So he united with a group of copycat leaders to come and fight against the autumn wind...
Sure enough, at this time, Wang Jin, the second head of Dashiling Village with a arrogant face, stood up from his chair and shouted: "Xu Shouhu, for the sake of the deceased Liu Dazhai Master, has been waiting for you to say nice things, but you are waiting like this
You don’t know good from evil. Forget it, let’s open the skylight and speak frankly - I heard that your Tianping village did a big deal and made a fortune. If you eat meat, do you also have to give us some soup? "
Di Lie's face turned cold and he said in a deep voice: "Where did you hear that we did a big deal?"
Ping San, the leader of Xiaoshiling Village, laughed loudly and said: "Have you forgotten that from Jingxing to Tianping Village, you have to pass by my Xiaoshiling? At the beginning of last month, you were really driving on the mountain road like a flowing water and horses like a dragon. What do you think?
Can you hide it from the eyes of the Sa family?"
Di Lie secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that this guy saw the land transportation of materials and took it for granted that Tianping Village had done a big deal, instead of really knowing that they ruthlessly robbed the Jin Army and saved many men and women from the Zhao and Song clans.
After thinking about it, I felt that I was worrying too much. If these poor and crazy bandits knew that they had done such a terrible thing, how could they dare to be so careless?
A piece of cake?
"Soup?" Di Lie turned to Guan Zhongyong noncommittally, "It's good to drink soup. It doesn't take any effort at all. It's relaxing and comfortable... Commander Guan, have we in Tianping Village ever drank the 'soup' from Dashiling Village before?"
"
A look of disdain flashed through Guan Zhongyong's eyes: "Dashiling Village is still inferior to our previous village. Hehe, we have never had any soup for our village."
"What about Xiaoshiling Village?"
"Never."
"Where is Songfengling Village?"
"No?"
"Where's Xianju Village?"
Guan Zhongyong simply shook his head.
Di Lie finally asked: "How is Heiya Village?"
Guan Zhongyong was silent for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Among the Taihang villages, except for Master Fu of Baima Village, who has a close friendship with Liu Village, who has provided help to our village, no other village has ever done anything to our village.
It’s more than half a favor.”
Di Lie nodded and directed his razor-sharp gaze at the five uninvited guests. Even though these five people were all ruthless gangsters who committed murder and swindled goods, he couldn't help but feel his heart tremble under the murderous aura as sharp as a cone.
"You all heard it? If you want to drink the soup from my Tianping Village, you must be qualified, but you... I'm afraid you don't have the qualifications!"
What Di Lie said was really serious, it was nothing less than a slap in the face. No matter how well-educated the five visitors were, they couldn't bear it... By the way, do these tough gangsters know what self-cultivation is?
Five visitors stood up on the spot. Among them, Wang Jin from Dashiling Village, because of his fat body and excessive force, turned his seat over. The loud noise alerted the guards, and suddenly Lala rushed in with a group of people in bright clothes and armor.
, a guard holding a heavy ax and throwing a sword.
The faces of the five visitors froze, and they subconsciously pressed their hands on their waists. Only then did they realize that their weapons had been confiscated when they entered the stronghold, and now they were using their bare hands.
Di Lie waved his hand, and the heavily armored guards all performed a military salute and retreated with their long axes and swords in hand.
Xu Qing took a deep breath, cupped his hands and said, "Since the leader of Di Dazhai has expressed his attitude, we can't stay long. We will meet again later. Farewell!"
Liu Erping grimaced and bowed repeatedly: "Leader Xu, if you have something to say, please tell me. In fact, the leader of the village doesn't really mean that. Let's sit down and discuss it..."
Xu Qing stretched out his thin but strong arms and pushed Liu Erping back with a slight push. The five visitors all walked away with dark faces.
Liu Erping rubbed his hands in a hurry and looked at Di Lie with a pleading look: "Master, there are other villages, but this Heiya Village is not easy to mess with! Why bother talking to death? Our supplies are so good.
More, just slip a little from your fingers and give it to them..."
"Liu Sinong, your duty is to be a farmer. Don't interfere with diplomatic matters." Di Lie ignored Liu Erping and only turned his attention to Guan Zhongyong, "Commander Guan, how strong is Heiya Village?"
Guan Zhongyong thought for a while and said: "Among the hundreds of villages in Taihang, the strongest ones are Baima Village, Cheyuanling Village, Fushan Village and Heiya Village. Heiya Village has tens of thousands of soldiers and three thousand elite soldiers. It is the strongest.
Stronger, second only to Baima Village, and similar to Cheyuanling Village. However, this time the Nineteen Village Alliance besieged Luan City and suffered heavy losses. Heiya Village lost nearly half of its elite troops and was severely weakened. If not for this, Xu Shouhu would not have needed to unite today.
When all the small villages come, his family can take over us... However, Master Jiao Da will never expect that the strength of our village is so strong. Even when the Black Cliff Village is at its peak, it may not be able to take over us. It's just that.
Nowadays, Heiya Village has united with other villages, big and small, to overwhelm the village. This is really worrying..."
Di Lie waved his hand: "This Taihang Mountain is a place where strength speaks for itself, and everything else is on the sidelines. Come, send a clerk in and draft an order."
"The orders are as follows: First, establish a secrecy bureau, and the leader of this village will also serve as the director. The leader of the first intelligence team is A Shu, who is in charge of intelligence on the Kingdom of Jin; the leader of the second intelligence team, Gao Liang, is in charge of the intelligence of Taihang villages. Second, from
From now on, all visitors will not be allowed to enter Tianping Village and will meet at Weizeguan instead. This order will be implemented immediately."
After Di Lie gave the order, he stepped out of the meeting hall, looked up at the gloomy and dull sky, and sighed slightly in his heart. Perhaps, an unexpected war was coming, just like the dark clouds in the sky.
