Chapter 46: Gathering and Dispersing
The leader of this area is called Zhou Fang. When Chen Mo and others followed Uncle Yang and others, they were discussing something with others. When they saw Yang Mao and Li Jiu coming over, Zhou Fang had a smile on his face: "It's Brother Yang.
Brother Li, come quickly, we are planning a big plan."
"Zhou Qushuai." Chen Mo and his party were stopped by the Taiping people around them. Only Yang Mao and Li Jiu went in. Yang Mao and Li Jiu stepped in and saluted, stepped forward and looked at Zhou Fang and said: "These are the people who are going to the countryside. Please ask Qushuai
Let them be under my command."
"This..." Zhou Fang frowned and looked at the group of thirty people, old and young. At a glance, it was difficult to find any outstanding combatants. He rubbed his temples and said nothing.
A strong man beside Zhou Fang stood up and said with a frown: "Yang Mao, Commander Qu admires your ability and just recruited you into this group of warriors. You are the elite of our Taiping Sect. How can these people do this?"
Incorporated into the strong men?"
"Qushuai!" Yang Mao's face darkened, he looked at Zhou Fang and said, "Qushuai promised me to take care of the locals."
"That's right." Zhou Fang nodded and said: "But taking care of them does not necessarily mean letting them join the warriors. You know, these are the elites of our Taiping Religion! What does it mean to let them join?"
Yang Mao and Li Jiu stood there with ugly expressions and said nothing.
"I promise you that I will take good care of them, how about this?" Zhou Fang stood up, patted the shoulders of Yang Mao and Li Jiu and sighed: "You have also seen that our Taiping Sect is so powerful now.
After we capture the city, we will settle them well. If you can perform meritorious service, then let them settle down in the city and give them land. It is better than running around in the army, isn't it?"
"But..." Yang Mao wanted to say something else, but Li Jiu pulled Yang Mao on the side, bowed and said with a smile: "What Commander Qu said is absolutely true, but how are we and other villagers going to settle now?"
"Let them follow the team. Don't worry, they won't be missing out on eating and drinking every day." Zhou Fang said with a smile: "But you need to train with other warriors, and you can't go back during this period."
"I'll give you some instructions." Yang Mao nodded helplessly and came out with Li Jiu.
"Why did you stop me?" Yang Mao came out of the tent. He didn't know how to face the villagers, so he frowned and looked at Li Jiu.
"Have you not seen it yet? Zhou Fang has no such intention at all. If we break up with each other, let alone them, we will die here. At least we can take care of everyone now. The rest can only be discussed in the future. At least
, everyone is alive and can make a living." Li Jiu sighed.
Yang Mao clenched his fist and finally released it. This was indeed the best result, but he didn't know how to face the crowd of villagers.
The two of them came to the crowd of villagers in silence. Looking at the expectant expressions, Yang Mao opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. Li Jiu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Let's talk to that Qu Shuai."
Okay, I’ll let everyone join the Taiping Sect, but I’m still relatively inexperienced, so I can’t let you continue to wait with me, but don’t worry, I’ll take you over as soon as I and I get a foothold.”
"Uncle Yang, what should we do?" Dalang looked at Uncle Yang and asked with a frown.
"People from Taiping Cult will distribute food every day. Everyone should follow the team first. If you need help, you can come to me and me. If we can help, we will try our best to help." Li Jiu looked at everyone and said in a deep voice.
In the unspeakable silence, Uncle Wu patted Da Lang on the head, grinned, and showed an ugly smile: "Then listen to Brother Yang and Brother Li, you are capable people, and these are the only ones left in Zhuangzi. Now that I’m alive, I’ll have to rely on you from now on.”
"Hmm..." Although Yang Mao nodded, he gave people a very hesitant feeling.
"Shuai Qu came to see me and we have something else to do. Let's find a place to rest first. After the decision is made, we will come to see you all." Li Jiu saw that Yang Mao was not in a good mood, so he explained, pulled Yang Mao and left.
"Why are you pulling me?" Yang Mao frowned and looked at Li Jiu, but he did not refuse.
"If I don't pull you away, I'm afraid you will be entangled. We are just hunters. At this time, it is rare to be able to take care of yourself. You don't really want to take all these people with you, do you?" Li Jiu frowned.
"If you can help, you should help some." Yang Mao's voice was lower. Now he really couldn't support these thirty people.
"Help? How can you help someone who is not a relative or friend? If you dare to help one or two people today, more than thirty people will come to your door tomorrow, and even more will be dragged in. Not to mention you and me, even if you sit in Zhou Qushuai's seat , there’s nothing we can do to help!” Li Jiu let go of Yang Mao’s hand, looked at him and said, “I’ve made it clear to you, it’s up to you whether you want to be dragged along by them or not.”
After saying that, without waiting for Yang Mao's answer, he went straight to the tent. Yang Mao looked at Li Jiu's retreating back, then looked back at the bewildered villagers, moved his lips, but in the end it just turned into a sigh, Silently, he turned around and followed Li Jiutong.
"What...is this? What do they mean?" Watching the two people leave, someone finally realized what they were doing, their expressions changed, and they tried to catch up with them, but were stopped by the Taiping Cult warriors around them.
"Get out of the way, I want to see them!" One person wanted to break in angrily, but these warriors were regarded as the Taiping Religion's protective troops, and they were all trained soldiers. How could they be shaken.
"How outrageous! This is Qu Shuai's barracks. Do you guys want to cause trouble?" Several warriors from around came forward, each with their weapons revealed, looking at Chen Mo and his party with eager eyes.
"Mom, back off!" Seeing this, Chen Mo quickly pulled his mother back, feeling a little heavy in his heart. What is the situation now?
A group of people clamored for a long time to no avail. In addition, the Taiping cultists had a tough attitude, so they could only disperse with curses. Everyone gathered to discuss what to do next, but after discussing for a long time, they just blamed Yang Mao and Li. Nine senselessness.
Chen Mo felt a little annoyed and wanted to leave with his mother.
"Don't be impulsive." Mother Chen did not let Chen Mo go this time, but just pulled him to wait quietly. There were more than a dozen men here, and they were orphans and widowers who couldn't speak, so they just listened quietly.
The final result was that they broke up unhappy, and no one had a useful solution. Even after the Orions such as Li Zheng, Yang Mao, and Li Jiu joined the Taiping Cult, there were more than 30 people without even a person in charge.
