Chapter 97 The Golden Cone Walk (8)

"Let me ask you, do you have any news about Jishan and Dangshan?" Seeing that it was Zuoyou, Zhang Xing asked from a distance.

When Zuo You heard the words, he stepped forward cautiously, and when he came to the root, he didn't dare to sit down, but just stood there with a wry smile: "It's nothing more than the drums are in full swing!"

"Since it's in full swing, the news from those leaders should be highlighted... Do you have any explanation?" Zhang Xingzhi kept asking while sitting at the table on the street with his hands clasped together.

"Of course there are." Zuo Youxian imitated the other party's cage and got serious. "To be honest with Zhang Baishou, Jishan is fine here. Anyway, I have been in charge of Xu's family for half a year here... But there is a lot of chaos in Dangshan. The mountain is big and there are many people. There are seven or eight troubles in half a year. There has been a lack of food, especially since the winter, but just a few days ago, it may be because of the news that there is a grain ship going north in winter, and a new friendship was formed there. In addition, there seem to be thirteen people in Xu's family, and it was agreed. We must fight for this one together, and we can't fight among ourselves... I heard that there are still a small group of thieves wandering from the Eastern Realm, and they are also planning to participate."

Zhang Xing nodded slowly: "Is Du Pozhen one of them?"

"Yes." Zuo Youxian thought for a while. "There is such a person. He was originally a sheep thief from the Eastern Realm... he was a small-time brawler, his cultivation was low, and there were few people. He almost didn't get connected to him when he was sworn. Just let them hang around and do the drudgery."

"Is Jishan ready to build a dam here?" Zhang Xing continued to ask.

"There is indeed such a saying." Zuo Youxian continued to nod. "But I heard that we have to wait for the fleet to pass Linhuan before doing anything... In winter, the water is shallow. For that kind of thing, a day and a night will be fine, and it will be effective if it is not good."

Zhang Xing nodded, and suddenly asked again: "By the way, what cultivation level do those 13 people have?"

"There is a man named Black Heart Tiger Zhou Xiaoyi, who is said to have reached Congealing Alchemy, but I guess he only has access to Ren Du's second channel, and he has not yet had the ability to control true energy like a rainbow in the Condensing Alchemy Realm... His name should also be an alias." Zuo Youxian Cooperate extremely well. "There is also a person called Louhuan, who is also the future of Ren Du's second vein... For the remaining 11 people, seven or eight of the main channels are perfect or upward, and three or four of the main channels are not enough. As for Xu Dangjia, I know it well." , He claims to have a Dzogchen pulse, but in fact he is a little short of it, he is a half pot with a lack of pulse.”

"I'm also a half pot with insufficient right pulse." Zhang Xing suddenly laughed. "Mr. Zuo You, with your cultivation level, you can still be a leader when you go there, why are you so careful?"

Zuo You was silent for a moment, but then put his hands together and smiled bitterly: "Does Zhang Baishou want to hear the truth?"

"nature."

"The truth is a bit offending."

"It's okay."

"Actually, to put it bluntly, it's not good for me to be an official from the left, and it's not right to be a thief from the right, and it's even more wrong to be neither black nor white. That's why I always deal with it carefully, thinking that it's better to be a free and easy person." Left You sighed rightly. "When you become an official, you must at least be a high-ranking official, otherwise you will be bullied and persecuted by the superiors. Do you see that the county officials who transported the grain this time will end up in a difficult situation? As for being a thief, being a thief in this world is certainly a pleasure. But he just can't be a big thief, but in this world, when everyone gathers together, it's not up to you whether you become big or not... Just like this time, the master Xu and the black-hearted tiger are obviously smart people, But they have to come to grab the food, and they have grabbed the food, and then the army comes to suppress, how will they gain a foothold? Aren’t they drifting like me? They may even lose their lives.”

Zhang Xing couldn't refute it. Of course, he didn't intend to refute it. He just kept silent for a while and continued to ask: "Then Mr. Zuo... Let me ask the last question, what information did you sell to General Chen when you came here?"

"No news." Zuo You looked around, hesitated for a moment, but didn't speak.

Zhang Xing understood: "Well, who did he ask you to send a message to? He didn't need to report the horse, but he had to use you?"

Zuo You finally smiled wryly: "It's good for Zhang Baishou to understand, how dare I say it?"

Zhang Xing couldn't help laughing: "Is it for Jishan or Dangshan?"

"Both." Zuo You helplessly.

"What's the specific content?" Zhang Xing didn't look suspicious at all. It would be ridiculous if the world didn't raise bandits' self-respect. If nothing else, Jishan and Dangshan didn't stop them, how could they divide the merchants from Xuzhou to the metasequoia forest.

Zuo You kept silent.

"Mr. Zuo." Zhang Xing stretched out his hand to pull the other party, and responded sincerely. "I didn't care about your status that day, I just gave you horses, knives and silver, and I already saw you as a close brother in my heart..."

Mr. Zhou, who was supervising the serving of food, couldn't help but turn his head to look at this side, and Zuo You, who is obviously four or five veins higher than Zhang Xing, actually didn't dare to talk nonsense, and could only nod indiscriminately: " I will remember Zhang Baishou's kindness in my heart."

And Zhang Xing also continued to retaliate: "The current situation is that you are placed here, not Longgang, which shows that General Chen does not regard you as his own family... Our dear brothers will be in trouble, How can you take care of an outsider?"

Zuo You was startled for a moment, and asked back, "Is Zhang Baishou in trouble?"

"It's not me, it's our brothers." Zhang Xing answered seriously.

"Our brother...?"

"Think about it...it's fine if I can't do anything, it's nothing more than losing all my wealth and going back to demote, but if you just leave like this, aren't you afraid of being blacklisted, even idle clouds and wild cranes? No?" Zhang Xing earnestly asked the other party. "Brother Zuo, since you are in this business, you should know what is really good or bad."

Zuo You was silent for a while again, but he simply said: "Zhang Baishou is also a smart man, I should have guessed it if I didn't say it... General Chen asked me to send a message to Dangshan, telling them not to come across the west bank of Huanshui, otherwise he will definitely Difficult to handle, but on the contrary, he is easy to handle."

Zhang Xing nodded, and then asked again: "Are you going to tell these people now?"

Zuo You immediately shook his head: "Zhang Baishou opened his mouth, how can he do it again? I just want to go to the helm of the Xucheng Changjing Gang, hide for a while, and then swim to the old place of the East China Sea... After all, we are so Communication, I'm afraid I can't hide it from General Chen."

As he spoke, Zuo You nuzui signaled that on the street, quite a few people sneaked a peek, and behind the closed door, there were even more people peeking.

"Since you've offended him, that's fine." Zhang Xing was rather proud, but he pointed at a casino steward who had just paid out the money, and ordered loudly. "Go by yourself, no matter which business Chen Ling's guy is in, and find another 20 taels of silver... as a send-off gift for my brother, or I will chop off your hand."

The steward raised his head and was startled for a moment, he hesitated to speak, and finally turned around to look for money.

Zhang Xing smiled back.

Zuo You also laughed.

After a while, Zuo You rode away immediately, but Zhang Xing yelled and asked those women if they were bought this year, would they like to go home?They have their own winter clothes when they go home, and these people will not dare to chase them within three days.They also called out those who had lost their hands to work in brothels, saying that they behaved themselves and would not stop business when they saw those who were working in brothels, they just wanted to cut off one hand.

For this matter, another person was killed on the street, and two more hands were cut off, making the originally clean street a mess.

And at this time, Qin Bao's three people hadn't wiped out General Chen's property.

Also helpless.

Besides, four or five people from Zhang Xing who made a big noise in the Metasequoia forest smashed all of Chen Ling's properties in the entire market, and intercepted the information about Zuo You's road by the way, holding three thousand fine armors and being close at hand. Chen Ling, who was so close, didn't show his face the whole time... Frankly speaking, this cast a shadow over Zhang Xing's heart.

In the evening of that day, on the way back to Longgang, Zhang Xing began to reflect on himself again, but he was helpless.

No way, this time things were already very difficult:
The first one is that he is unfamiliar with the place and has traveled a long distance. Apart from wearing a tiger skin, he has no real strength to borrow.

Secondly, it means that the situation is really bad. There is a shortage of food on the mountain, this wave of food is not planned, and the water is shallow in winter, so there will be conflicts anyway.

At the same time, all the forces seem to be half-hearted. It is difficult to name the enemy and the enemy. It is difficult to tell whether the Whale Gang is right or wrong. Needless to say, the insiders are not trustworthy at all, and the army on Longgang also intends to stand by and watch... Zhang Xing even had no reason to criticize others. When Bai Yousi came to him, he was perfunctory. Those ordinary Jinyi riders only wanted to keep their own property.

Thinking about it carefully, the only ones who are willing to protect the food team at this time, are willing to maintain order, and prevent this incident from getting out of hand, are actually only Bai Yousi and Qin Bao, plus Zhang Xing, who has abandoned the dark and turned to the bright... Of course, Hu Yan Yan, Qian Tang, Li Qingchen and others are also credible, but they are only listening to Bai Yousi's dispatch.

In the end, looking back at the present, this Chen Ling really made people feel powerless.

Thinking wildly, they returned to the Longgang stronghold... The sergeant in the stronghold looked at Zhang Xing and his party with a changed face at this time, but they were restrained properly and no one caused trouble.

Not only that, but when I went back to wash up, the clerk from before came over and said that General Chen had hosted a banquet and invited Zhang Baishou alone.

Zhang Xing took a long breath in his heart - he didn't think that there must be a turning point this time, but that there would probably be a clear statement this time.

Sure enough, one person entered the back hall on the second floor of the main building alone, and before he could say anything, Chen Ling, who was sitting on the main seat, blushed and applauded directly: "Zhang Baishou, Zhang Sanlang, we met by chance, but I have to admit, you It's really a character... As the confidant of the noble daughter of the Bai family, she has a bright future; she is also the first person in the world, so she can excel; moreover, she can disregard decency and dare to use any means. Being someone else, I will almost be moved by you today, but I, Chen Ling, also have my own ideas, if you are interested, you might as well sit down and drink a glass of water, and let me talk to you slowly."

Zhang Xing nodded, sat down directly, and then the beautiful maid who had her own incense came up to flatter the arrangement.

After everything was settled, Chen Ling first raised his glass in the couch and asked, "I'm older, so I would venture to guess about one thing. Does Zhang Baishou want to wait until I'm angry with you today and ask you about the crime, and then bring the one I brought with you?" Present the gifts one by one, explain the value, and then promise me a future for Mrs. Bai? This is the ultimate lure you can do, right? In fact, the key to this kind of strategy is to reassure people's hearts, isn't it?"

Zhang Xing nodded, and actually admitted... In fact, that's exactly what he was going to do.

Seeing this, Chen Ling was the first to smile and raised his glass as a gesture, while Zhang Xing was also unceremonious, picked up the warm wine in front of him, and drank it down in one gulp.

"Take it out." Chen Ling turned to look at the maid behind him.

The two maids dressed differently from the others immediately saluted and turned into the back room. After a while, they came out again holding a shiny golden object.

Zhang Xing could see clearly that it was something like a golden awl.

"Zhang Baishou." Chen Ling sighed and pointed at it. "This is a keel, sprayed with gold to form a gold cone... Such a keel and gold cone, I have 37 in my house... May I ask how this thing compares to Wang Zuojun's copybook? I will send one to Bai Xun for inspection, and please pass it on to Zhang Baishou. "

Zhang Xing suddenly realized: "It turns out that my family is so rich... It seems that I am as naive as a child today."

"No, no." Chen Ling replied sincerely. "No, no...these are all foreign things, otherwise, why would I give away one so easily? What I care about is actually only one thing, that is, our Zhongli Chen family can continue...but say To be honest, it's too difficult...do you know how this dragon bone and gold cone were obtained?"

"I would like to hear the details." Zhang Xing looked cold and held his hands together.

PS: Good night everyone.
