Chapter 8: The Heart

【Fengyun Reading Network.】

In the thick of the night, the Juhao fleet formed two long columns and sailed with difficulty northwest along the Tuning River

The faces of the people were solemn and solemn, and the movements of the oars were mechanical and quiet, and it seemed as if every heart had now turned into ballast stones, making it all the more difficult for these boats to bear

Everyone sorted out the bodies of Zhu Qing, Long Boshu, and the samurai who were shot dead on the ship, placed them on the side chord of the ship, and with a gentle push of the password, the corpses flipped and fell, causing a slight splash, and then sank away

There are thousands of fireflies flowing between the grass and knotweed on both sides of the river, as if the soul is out of the body, and the eyes are silent

There were fewer people, and the boat looked a little empty

It's as empty as Himeno Flatair's gaze flowing with the water at this moment

Jiang Wan didn't want him to be immersed in sadness, so she asked Feng Quanxiao about what happened to distract him

Feng Quanxiao will look for the eldest grandson Xiaochi halfway How did he meet Chang Sihao and save the river How was the Fang military division taken captive How to let go and briefly tell Han Naji and other things Finally, he said: "At that time, the military advisor lied to Chang Sihao, saying that we had been expanding westward to take Sichuan or something, and that kid really believed it, and later the military advisor said that he would come back with him to see the pavilion master, and the brothers in the west asked me to take care of it, but secretly told me to follow back from afar, and observe the movement around the tuning, especially at night, and pay more attention If you find that the letter bomb is playing, you will bring people to rush down to support."

Only then did everyone understand: It seems that after hearing the rumors of the five-party talks, the military advisor figured out the intention of the government, so he made such an arrangement, and he asked everyone to send a letter bomb first, presumably to lead the ambush of the official army to be exposed, and at the same time, it was equivalent to issuing an order to Feng Quanxiao's people upstream, so that he could attack the enemy twice and catch the enemy off guard."

In fact, it is not only Zhu Qing, but the other people are not very trusting of the other party, but judging from today's events, the military adviser expects the enemy plane first, the layout is accurate, and there is no problem with the character, but everyone is suspicious and suspicious, and almost broke the big thing, and there is a look of shame in their eyes for a while

Chu Yuan said: "Li Lao is looking for a disciple, he has never met him in half his life, and he doesn't want to get a small party in his old age, and there are successors in this lineage, which is the blessing of Li Lao, and it is also the luck of the cabinet" Feng Quanxiao saw that Fang Zhennuo was not there and asked: "What about the military advisor?"

Himeno Ping said: "Don't talk about him After Xiao Fang came back, there has been chaos on the mountain I forgot to ask Did you find the eldest brother at the end " Feng Quanxiao's expression was slightly darkened, and his eyes fell Lang Xingke said: "Pavilion Master, if you want to go out to find him before, I will oppose it, and now it is still the same Now that people have nothing to do with us, what can you do if you find it, you always think of him, people don't think of you."

Himeno Ping said: "You and the eldest brother of the eldest grandson were born and died, *** have fought so many battles, and now I use this kind of words to talk about him" Lang Xingke's emotions were also a little excited: "Pavilion Master, you don't like to listen to what I say, we people and his feelings are not closer than you, but because of this, we know what to do and what not to do."

Hu Yaoting and Feng Hongye were speechless when they heard this, Ji Yeping's throat was blocked, and he looked at Lu Taiheng and Yu Tiecheng on the back boat with a frustrated face, and he turned his gaze back: "Brother Jiang, let's go up and down, you are the most accurate in your opinion, you" He looked at Jiang Wan's appearance, and his voice suddenly stopped, and he couldn't say any more

Jiang Wan was half-sideways, quietly watching the river in the back cabin, he was holding the boat with one hand, one wrist hanging down the inside of his knee, and the blood-stained white robe was shaking in the night wind, making his arched back look even more rickety, and only the passing water flowing in his eyes brought a touch of movement and brightness to his deep eyes

Among the four disciples of You Lao Swordsman, he is the most chic, handsome, and young People often say on the rivers and lakes that only he has the charm of "the flute is not like a guest in the world" in the past, and now he sits there like a dying old man

As if they suddenly realized it, people were thinking at the same time: he is the only one left who is famous in the world

In the silent gaze of the people, Jiang Wan turned his head: "Pavilion Master, let's gather in the Pavilion to inherit the will of the White Lotus, who are you worshipping?"

Himeno Tairachi: "Naturally, it's Kannon Daishi"

Jiang Wan said: "One day, a poor woman went to the temple to ask for blessings, and found a person kowtowing in front of the statue of Guanyin, saying that he was in trouble, and asked the monk to be merciful and save the suffering.

This story Himenopira also heard Yan Lingyun tell and replied: "The priest said, 'It is better to seek others than to seek yourself.'"

Jiang Wan looked at him: "Yes, no matter whether others are good or bad, betrayal or loyalty, it no longer matters to you and me at this moment I am famous for believing in Jiangnan But it does not mean that I see people accurately and trustworthy as fools I am the same as all of you I also have suspicions and confusion in my heart and will break my word Pavilion Master, you have been cultivated by Yan Lao for many years, and you are enough to reach the heavens, but if you want to bring this group of brothers well, you must trust your own judgment in everything, and be your own master first."

Everyone knew that Yan Lao couldn't bear to let Ji Yeping take risks because of his loneliness, so he had little experience and practice, and he was frizzy when he was about to do things, and the eldest grandson Xiaochi was indeed superior to others Under such a bright light, it naturally made him even more bleak and nameless Ji Yeping grew up in such an environment, not only did he not regard the eldest grandson Xiaochi as a competitor, on the contrary, he was full of respect and reverence for him in his heart, and even when he was in trouble, he still thought that he would guide everyone to turn the tide and turn the tide This can't be blamed on him In fact, everyone is not like this

There is no wind and snow on the rivers and lakes, only iron-blooded and cold blades Correct decision-making, decisive action, and implementation in place This is the root cause of Juhao Pavilion to open up the world and unify the south of the Yangtze River

Without absolute trust, there can be no talk of absolute implementation, and how many wars have there been over the years, as long as the eldest grandson Xiaochi makes a decision, no matter how hard the bones are, everyone will risk their lives to bite and gnaw

However, sometimes the decisions are not always right, and the results are always optimistic, indicating that victory is not about strength, but more about confidence

These guys knew it, so as soon as they heard Jiang Wan finish speaking, they immediately understood what he meant

Eyes gathered, but Himeno Taira's face was expressionless, and the silence was like a cable post on the trestle that had not moved for many years

The sailors' paddling seemed to become more strenuous as the boats lost speed in the backwater, as if they were still on the river, bound by his silence

The atmosphere froze for a moment, and Lang Xingke stood up suddenly: "Pavilion Master, to tell you the truth, we have always felt that we have never been able to understand Fang Zhennuo's personality, but you have always believed in him, and today's facts have proved everything, and now we believe in your vision, why don't you believe in yourself like this?"

Ji Yeping saw that everyone's faces were gloomy, as if there was a state of resentment, a pair of dragon eyes were empty, and suddenly shot out two resolute cold rays, grabbed the red spear, stepped on the bow of the boat in two steps, and slowly swept around from near and far, and slowly swept around from far and near: "You know why I believe in Xiao Fang so much, why I don't give up on the eldest grandson brother" He paused, "Because they are my dear brothers, just like you and those who have just sunk into the water."

Himeno said: "It's not that I don't have confidence It's that everyone will be wrong about one thing I want to find him back I don't want to rely on anyone Juhao Pavilion can get to this day It doesn't rely on the leadership of one or two people But it depends on you and me, relying on the thousands of brothers up and down in the pavilion Although the eldest grandson was confused by women for a while and went the wrong way, he is still our family and brother He shouldn't be left behind, but after falling behind, should we leave him alone?"

After a short silence, people gradually understood what he meant, and the bottom of their hearts slowly connected like a stream of water, and every time they flowed, a soft call sounded: "Pavilion Master......" "Pavilion Master"

Himeno waved his hand and continued: "His affairs are always a personal matter Let's put it aside for a while Over the years, we have been honest and trustworthy, fair and reasonable Our identity is black, but our hearts are red The knife in our hands is cold The blood on our bodies is hot The government is unkind Burning ships to seal the sea, raising money and enclosing land Forcing everyone to leave their hometowns For a bite to eat Come together Now the overseers of Dongchang have entered Dongting They will not let go of the brothers of Lushan and Taihu They want to take away the last bowl of rice in our hands Everyone said What should I do ”

Everyone shouted: "Fight" and "Reversed"

Himenopaira held the red spear high and suppressed the voices of the crowd and said: "Brothers, you are wrong, we are not rebelling, let alone conforming to some bullshit providence, a big living person should live like a human being, they all crawl out of the intestines of people, why should they be treated as cattle and horses, and be insulted and bullied by them."

"Right"

"The Pavilion Master is right"

Himeno Ping said: "I am not as right as what Brother Jiang said, it is better to ask for others than for myself, I only want to ask: who can take back our land, wealth and dignity, and everything that has been snatched out of thin air."

"On your own"

"Self"

"Self"

In the midst of the sudden harmony, Yu Tiecheng, Lang Xingke and others looked at each other, and they couldn't help but nod their heads happily, quite overjoyed

Only Jiang Wan was silent

The cohesion of the eldest grandson Xiaochi was created by the leading brothers, and it was created in the course of running a business, and following the eldest grandson pavilion master meant wealth and victory, and the prestige he formed in the pavilion was not even prestige, but almost a kind of faith

A leader is a person who can give others a dream and a strong confidence to realize it

I saw Himeno Ping tilt his head and asked: "Brother Feng, you should still have some boats under your command" Feng Quanxiao said: "Yes, first, I am afraid that there will be many people and eyesore, and second, I am afraid that it will be difficult to turn around in the river I arranged the rest of the big boats to wait at the entrance of the tuning string "Himeno Ping Lingfeng looked at the dark sky and saw the moon and stars in the dark sky There is not much left of this night Said: "The speed of our breakthrough is already very fast But after all, we go around the Yangtze River in the distance Spread my order Everyone to speed up and strive to meet the big ship before dawn When you get to the river and let the sails go down the river, it's not too late to rest."

"Roar" Thousands of people breathed in unison, swept away the fatigue, and the speed of the fleet increased suddenly

Out of the line Xu Jiang Wan suddenly said: "Pavilion Master, I think of something"

Himenodaira asked, "What's the matter?"

Jiang Wan said: "If the main force of the official army is in Lushan, there must be a lot of them, and I am afraid that our more than 2,000 people will be a drop in the bucket In my opinion, we should fight more for Gutian, otherwise it will be difficult to carry out follow-up operations" Chu Yuan said: "This is because you have supported Wei Yinbao for so many years, even if he changes his face, he will not change his face so quickly Brother Fang has never dealt with him, and he may be worried too much Gutian Righteous Army is currently close to 100,000 It is not a small number If you can win it, the strength is not small Even if it is just to drag Yu Dayou, it will at least make us have less worries "

Ji Yeping thought for a while and said, "If there is a glimmer of hope, you can't let it go Brother Jiang, you can write a letter to him" Jiang Wan nodded, pulled off a piece of cloth, and used his fingers to pick up the blood on his body, and wrote on the cloth

On the neighboring boat, Lu Taiheng always frowned, looked at it for a while, and said: "It's not that I recite the bad luck curse, the military advisor is not false at all, Wei Yinbao is suspicious, guarded, and he doesn't believe in the Han people the most, as soon as this incident comes out, I'm afraid we won't even be able to deliver this letter to him."

When everyone heard this, their faces froze again Most of the Gutian Yijun are Miao Yao and the people have been bullied by the Han people for many years, and they are hated to the bone Every time the Han farmers and fishermen who have been collected in the Juhao Pavilion are sent over, they have to go through a strict review They are not more trusted than their own people Wei Yinbao even attributed the reason why he has been able to get away with the Ming Dynasty for many years It is attributed to this strategy of excluding Han and guarding against Han and cronyism Lu Taiheng's status in the cabinet is not low I have been to Gutian several times I basically did not see Wei Yinbao's face Now in this situation, it is even more difficult to say

Hu Yaoting said: "I'll go."

Jiang Wan finished writing the letter Listening to Lu Taiheng's words, he was muttering to himself Hu Yaoting's sudden speech made him stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "I forgot that this trip is indeed necessary for you" handed the letter over: "Your injury is not light, you must be careful all the way" Hu Yaoting said: "A trivial matter, nothing to say" picked up the blood book, shook it with one arm, and jumped over several small boats to go ashore Two of his subordinates urgently asked Ling to take care of him Ji Yeping nodded The two also flew ashore and chased after them

Seeing the three of them disappear between the forest shores, Ji Yeping was still a little stunned, and he didn't react, how could he be a "I have to do it" Feng Quanxiao was happy when he saw this: "Pavilion Master, you eat pork with Lao Yun on weekdays, how can you forget about the tiger master?"
