Chapter 98 New Chapter (4)

Ban Xiyu stood up and rubbed her face, and then she regained consciousness a bit, and then she heard the guard knocking on the door and urging her, and immediately put on her clothes: "Understood, please report to the chief and second master, I This is over."

Hearing her voice, the guard stopped knocking on the door: "Then ask the military division to act quickly, and I will report back right away."

He immediately turned around and ran away, thinking as he ran: The new military division is really strange, how could he close the door so tightly after sleeping?Afraid of being defeated by thieves.

Oh, I almost forgot, they are thieves.

After Ban Xiyu freshened up, he found the meeting hall after asking the bandits in Zhaizhong for directions.When she arrived, Song Ranze, the master, was playing chess with a young man face to face.

The two of them were sitting in the side room on the west side of the hall, the small window next to it was open, and the wind blew a light fragrance of flowers.

Ban Xiyu cupped his hands at the two of them and said, "Master and second master, good morning. I wonder what the two of you are looking for me to discuss?"

She speculated in her heart that today's meeting was a temptation for her.

Although she apparently passed Song Ranze's test, as the second in command of Xiaoyun Village, it is impossible for the second leader to allow an unfamiliar outsider to enter the village at will.

What's more, this "outsider" caused Song Ran a lot of losses not long ago.

Ban Xiyu is very clear that today's situation may be a "Hongmen Banquet", so it needs to be handled carefully.

At this time, Song Ran put down the chess piece in his hand, turned to look at her: "The military division is late, I thought you were going to strike and quit on your first day at work."

Ban Xiyu: "How could it be? It's just that I was late last night because I rested too late. I hope the two masters don't blame you."

After the words fell, the young man sitting opposite Song Ran smiled and said, "Is it not enough to blame me--did you sleep peacefully last night? If there is any poor hospitality in our small place, Young master, you are welcome, just say it."

Shen Zhihang said: "I have been taking care of the internal affairs of the village all these years, but after all, it is a time when there are too many people and people, and it is inevitable that we can't do it. Originally, we planned to renovate and repair all the houses in the near future, but we didn't Thinking that something happened suddenly.

"So I can only wrong you to live in the old house for the time being. When I have a chance in the future, I will change you to a bigger and more comfortable house."

Ban Xiyu looked at the person in front of him calmly, and saw that his features were delicate, his body was thinner than Song Ranze's, and his temperament was gentler.

The other party was wearing a plain Tsing Yi and a gray headband around the crown, so he looked like a storyteller on the street, not a bandit.

She said: "It's good to have a place to live. There is nothing to be wronged. Besides, I think the yard of Dadang's house is very fresh and elegant, with flowers and grass, and it is not simple and shabby. It is unexpected that Dadang's house is also good at taking care of it." patio."

Song Ranze: "Then I took care of it, it's all thanks to Zhihang. He likes to tinker with these fancy things."

A smile of sudden realization appeared on Ban Xiyu's face: "I see, it seems that the second master is very good at housekeeping, I admire, admire."

Hearing this, Shen Zhihang just lowered his head and twitched the corners of his mouth, without answering.He drank a cup of tea by himself, and then said straight to the point: "They are all sensible people, so let's not hide it - to be honest, I don't believe you."

Shen Zhihang looked at Ban Xiyu indifferently, and said, "Your origin and purpose are always a mystery to me. Besides, from Ran Ze's mouth, I can't see what's so great about you. Ability. If you want to be the military advisor of Xiaoyunzhai, it will not be so easy."

Shen Zhihang's words were within Ban Xiyu's expectation, she had already been mentally prepared, and said, "Then what should I do to get your approval as the second leader?
"Although my method of attracting the attention of the master is indeed extreme, it is also a helpless move. Besides, I came here with sincerity this time. If you two want to test me, why don't you listen to me first? "

Song Ran glanced at Shen Zhihang's face, seeing that he had no objection, he said, "Speak, let's listen."

Ban Xiyu then said: "Now is the most critical time for Xiaoyun Village, there are wolves around, and there are many old and weak women and children in the village, if you want Xiaoyun Village to pass this summer safely, you must find a way to break it. this crisis."

"Oh? Xiaoyunzhai is very safe, where is the danger?" Shen Zhihang raised his eyes to look at her: "Don't talk nonsense and alarmist just because you have a mouth that can speak well!"

"Is there any scaremongering? I believe that the second leader knows better than me." Ban Xiyu was not afraid, she took a deep breath, and then said: "The explosives that detonated the crisis were actually planted as early as when Xiaoyunzhai cooperated with the rich family. gone."

Ban Xiyu: "Because of the cooperation with Fulin, Xiaoyunzhai offended many people, including many merchants in Linzhou and Pingzhou, as well as government officials in Pingzhou.

"Right now the news of the downfall of the rich family has spread throughout Linzhou and Pingzhou, without Fulin as a backer, those merchants who have been suppressed by Xiaoyunzhai for many years will have to settle their old scores with you.

"Besides, Xiaoyunzhai has been domineering in Anning Town for many years. Didn't the government ever think about suppressing it? They didn't do anything before, because they were afraid of Fulin's power.

"But today is different. If the county government of Anning Town and merchants from all over the world join forces to deal with Xiaoyun Village, then Xiaoyun Village will be in danger." Ban Xiyu said: "This is what I call a dangerous situation."

Hearing this, Shen Zhihang raised his head, looked at her seriously and asked, "Then in your opinion, what should it be?"

Ban Xiyu said: "In my opinion, there are two ways now. One is to follow the old path and cooperate with other powerful merchants to try to win another backer;
"The second is to gather Anning Town and even other cottages in Pingzhou to fight against the various merchants and government that are about to attack."

After finishing speaking, Ban Xiyu paused, and said again: "However, to be on the safe side, I suggest to make two preparations. We must not only seek cooperation with merchants, but also join hands with other cottages, so that nothing will go wrong."

The method she said was similar to what Shen Zhihang thought.

Shen Zhihang and Song Ran looked at each other silently, and nodded secretly.Song Ran understood what he meant, so he said: "This method is good, but how can you guarantee it will succeed?"

Ban Xiyu replied: "If the two masters trust me, I can lobby on my behalf, find and persuade businessmen and bandits who can cooperate, and ask them to conspire with each other, how about it?"

"Well, there's no rush." ​​Shen Zhihang said.

He still felt that Ban Xiyu was suspicious, and he didn't want to let him out of the cottage, so he said, "Instead of dealing with the crisis that has yet to come, you should first think of a way, how to solve the current predicament—"

"There are so many people in the cottage waiting to eat, originally everyone was waiting, but they came back from the robbery to eat well, but you messed it up like this, and there was no food left.

"Since you have the ability, then solve this problem first, and then do other things."
