Chapter Eight Heart Collection
Under the thick night, Juhao fleet lined up in two long rows and sailed northwest along the tuning river channel with difficulty.
People's faces were solemn and solemn. The movements of the paddles were mechanical and quiet. It seemed that every heart had turned into a ballast stone at this moment, making these boats against the current more difficult to carry.
Everyone tidied up Zhu Qing, Long Boshu and the corpse of the warrior who was shot to death on the boat. They placed it flat on the side strings of the boat. They gently pushed forward with the command. The body flipped and fell, causing a little splash of water. Then it fell into a deep state.
There are thousands of fireflies flowing between the grass and the water on both sides of the shore, as if they are escaping from their bodies and are silently catching.
There were fewer people. The boat seemed a little empty.
It was as empty as Ji Yeping's eyes flowing with the water at this moment.
Jiang Wan didn't want him to be immersed in the sadness, so he asked Feng Quanxiao about his passing to lure his spirit.
Feng Quanxiao led everyone to find Changsun Xiaochi halfway through. How did he meet Chang Sihao and help Jiang Zhou? How did military advisor Fang get captured? How did he let him go? How did Han Naji and others briefly tell him. Finally, he said: "The military advisor lied to Chang Sihao at that time. He said that we had been expanding westward to take over Sichuan or something. The boy really believed it. Later, the military advisor said that he would come back with him to meet the Pavilion Master. The brothers from the west asked me to take care of him. But he secretly asked me to stop and follow him far away. Watch the movement around the string tuning. Especially at night, pay more attention. If you find that the bullet is fired, you will take people to rush down to support you quickly."
Everyone then understood: It seems that after hearing the rumors of the five-party talks, the military advisor figured out the intention of the government. Therefore, he made such an arrangement. He asked everyone to send a letter to the bullet first. It must be the ambush of the government army. Exposed, and at the same time, is equivalent to giving instructions to the people of Feng Quanxiao upstream. This way, you can attack twice and catch the enemy off guard."
In fact, it’s Zhu Qing. Others don’t trust each other very much. However, as far as today’s matters are concerned, the military advisor predicts the enemy’s opportunity first, the layout is accurate, and the character is no problem. But everyone guesses more and more suspiciously. It’s almost broken. A big event, a look of ashamed appeared in my eyes for a moment.
Chu Yuan said: "Li Laomi's disciples have not met for half a lifetime. I don't want to get Xiao Fang in Lin Lao. There are successors in this lineage. It is the blessing of Mr. Li and the blessing of the pavilion." Feng Quanxiao saw Fang Zhennuo was not there and asked: "Military Commander." Woolen cloth."
Ji Yeping said: "Stop talking about him. After Xiao Fang came back, things have been going on in the mountains. I forgot to ask. Are you looking for the eldest brother?" Feng Quanxiao's expression was a little dim, and his eyes fell down. Lang Xingke said : "People, you wanted to go out to find him before. I objected. Now I still said this. Now I have nothing to do with us. What can I do if I find it? You always think about him. People don't think about you."
Ji Yeping said: "You and Brother Changsun have been through life and death. *** have experienced so many battles. Now I use this kind of words to say it." Lang Xingke was also a little excited: "People. Don't let me not love me if I say it. Listen. Which of us 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 he heard this. Ji Ye Ping's throat was blocked. Looking around, Lu Taiheng on the back boat, Yu Tiecheng also looked frustrated. He turned his eyes back: "Brother Jiang. Let's go." You are the most accurate in looking at people. You..." He suddenly stopped seeing Jiang Wan's appearance and could no longer say anything.
Jiang Wan halfwayed and looked at the river quietly in the back cabin. He held the boat gang with one hand and his wrist was hanging on the inside of his knees. The blood-dirty white painting robe shaking in the night wind. He made him bow Qu's back seemed even more hunched. Only the passing water flowing in his eyes brought a little dynamic and bright color to the deep eyes.
Among the four disciples of the old swordsman You are the most elegant, handsome, and young. People often say that he is the only one who has the charm of "the flute is not like a guest on earth" back then. Now he is sitting there and he looks like He is an old man in the evening.
As if suddenly realizing it, people were thinking at the same time: The three kings of Juhao who are so famous all over the world are now the only one left.
In the quiet and painful gaze of people, Jiang Wan turned his head: "People, our Juhao Pavilion has inherited the will of Bailian. Who are you worshiping?"
Ji Yehei said: "Of course, it is Guanyin Master."
Jiang Wan said: "One day, a poor woman went to the temple to seek blessings. She found a man kowtowed and bowed in front of the statue of Guanyin Master. She said that she was in trouble. She asked the master to express compassion to save the suffering. When she looked closely, she was Guanyin. I asked, "How do you kowtow to yourself?" How did the Master answer?"
Ji Yeping also heard Yan Lingyun tell this story and replied: "The master said: 'Because it is better to seek others than to seek others'."
Jiang Wanwang decided to him: "No matter whether others are good or bad, betrayal or loyal, it is no longer important to you and me at this moment. I am famous for believing in Jiangnan. But it does not mean that I look at people. Accurate and accurate, keep your trustworthy as foolish. I am like you all. I also have suspicions and confusions in my heart and will break my promise. Master. You have been cultivated by Mr. Yan for many years and are so towering. But I want to lead these brothers well. You must also believe in your own judgment in everything. Be your master first.”
Everyone knows that Mr. Yan is entrusting his orphans because of an old friend. He can't bear to let Ji Yeping take risks easily. Therefore, he has less experience and is frivolous when he is in trouble. In addition, Changsun Xiaochi's work is indeed very good at home. He is better than others. Below, naturally made him look even more dull and unknown. Ji Yehei grew up in such an environment. Not only did he not regard Changsun Xiaochi as a competitor, but on the contrary, he was full of respect for him in his heart. Even in the face of difficulties, he still wanted to He will guide everyone to turn the tide and turn the world around. This cannot be blamed. In fact, this is not the case for everyone.
There is no romance in the world, only iron-blooded cold blades. The decisions are correct, decisive, and the execution is in place. This is the root cause of Juhao Pavilion opening up the world and unifying the south of the Yangtze River.
Without absolute trust, there is no absolute execution. Over the years, many wars, as long as Changsun Xiaochi makes a decision, no matter how hard the bones are, everyone will sacrifice their lives to bite and chew.
However, sometimes decisions may not be correct, but the results are always optimistic. This means that victory is not about strength. More about winning is confidence.
Everyone knew it well, so as soon as Jiang Wan finished speaking, they immediately understood what he meant.
His eyes were gone, but Ji Yeping had no expression on his face. He was as silent as a cable pile on the pier that had been moving for years.
The sailors' paddling movements seemed to be more difficult. The ships lost their speed against the water, as if they were still on the river, firmly tied to his silence.
The atmosphere condensed. Lang Xingke suddenly stood up: "People, to be honest, we all have always felt that we couldn't understand Fang Zhennuo's character. But you always believe in him. Today's facts have proved Everything. Now we believe in your vision. Why don’t you believe in yourself like this?"
Ji Yeping saw that everyone was so scattered and depressed, as if they were resentful and abandoned. A pair of longan eyes were weak and they suddenly shot out two resolute and cold lights. He held the red gun and walked wide and stepped onto the bow of the boat. His eyes went from close to far .Sweeping slowly from far to near: "You know. Why do I believe Xiao Fang so much? Why don't I give up on Brother Changsun?" He paused. "Because they and you and just sank into the water Those people are my closest brothers."
Ji Yeping said: "It's not that I don't have confidence. It's that everyone is wrong about something. I want to find him back. It's not that I want to rely on whom. Juhao Pavilion can get to where it is today. It's not that I rely on one or two leaders. Get it. Instead, rely on you and me, and rely on the millions of brothers in the pavilion. Although Brother Changsun was confused by women for a while, he took the wrong path. But he is still our family. Brother. He shouldn't have fallen behind. But after falling behind, should we leave him alone?"
After a brief silence, people gradually understood what he meant. The heart slowly connected and penetrated like a stream of water. Every time they flowed to a place, a gentle call sounded: "Peace Master..." "Peace Master."
Ji Yeping waved his hand and continued, "His affairs are still small matters. Let's put them aside first. Over the years, we have carried out canal transportation and operated business. We have always been honest and trustworthy, fair and reasonable. Our identity is dark. But our hearts are It's red. The knife in the hand is cold. The blood on the body is hot. The government is unkind. It burns ships and seals the sea, recruits and enlists land, forcing everyone to leave their hometowns. We got together for a meal. Now The governor of the Dongchang Army entered Dongting and would not let go of Lushan and Taihu brothers. They wanted to take away the last bowl of rice in our hands. Everyone said, what should we do?"
Everyone shouted, "Beat." "Reverse."
Ji Yeping raised the red spear high, suppressed the voices and said, "Brothers, you are wrong. We are not rebelling, nor are we following the will of heaven. A living person should live with confidence. It is crawling out of human intestines. Why should we be used as cattle and horses for them? Being insulted and bullied by them."
"right."
"The Lord is right."
Ji Yeping said: "No matter how right I said, it is not as good as Brother Jiang said. It is better to be self-reliant than to ask others. I only ask one question: Our land, wealth and dignity, and everything that has been stolen out of thin air. Who can seize it? return."
"By your own."
"Own."
"Own.."
Amid the sound of harmony, Yu Tiecheng, Lang Xingke and others looked at each other and nodded happily. They felt overjoyed.
Only Jiang Wan was silent.
Changsun Xiaochi's cohesion was created by his leaders and brothers. He was created through business operations. Following Changsun Pavilion Master means wealth and victory. What he formed among the Pavilion is not even prestige, but almost the same. A kind of faith.
The so-called leader is a person who can give others a strong confidence to realize his dreams and to realize them. Is Hime Yehei really enough of this confidence?
Ji Yeping turned his head and asked, "Brother Feng, you probably have some boats under your command." Feng Quanxiao said, "Yes. First, I am afraid that there are too many people to get annoyed. Second, I am afraid that it is difficult to turn around in the river. I arranged the rest of the big ships. Waiting at the entrance of the tuning string." Ji Ye Ping Ling Feng looked around and saw the moon hidden stars in the dark sky. There was not much left in this night. He said: "We have already made a breakthrough very fast. But after all, we go to the Yangtze River to tuning string and go around the distance. I will make everyone speed up and strive to meet with the big ship before dawn. When you arrive on the river, you will release your sails. It will not be too late to rest."
"Roar." Thousands of people spoke together, sweeping away the fatigue, and the fleet speed suddenly increased.
After walking out, Jiang Wan suddenly said, "People, I remember something."
Hinahei asked: "What's the matter?"
Jiang Wan said: "If the main force of the official army is in Lushan, there will definitely be a lot of them. I'm afraid that it will be a drop in the bucket when we arrive at more than 2,000 people. In my opinion, we should strive for more in Gutian. Otherwise, it will be difficult to carry out subsequent battles." Chu Yuan said: "This is. You support Wei Yinbao for so many years. Even if he changes his face, he will not be so fast. Brother Fang has never dealt with him. Maybe he is worried that he is too heavy. Gutian Rebel Army is currently close to 100,000, not a small number. If you can fight for it, the power is quite large. Even if it only drags down Yu Dayou, it will at least make us less worried."
Ji Yeping thought for a while and said, "If you have a glimmer of hope, you can't let it go. Brother Jiang. Please write him a letter." Jiang Wan nodded and pulled off a piece of clothing and dipped it with his fingers on his body. Just write it on the cloth.
On the neighboring ship, Lu Taiheng was always frowning. He looked at it for a while and said, "It's not that I chanted the unlucky curse. The military advisor said it is true. Wei Yinbao is suspicious in nature. He is very cautious in his life. He is also the most unbelievable person. He doesn't believe in the Han people. This time, the incident happened. .We may not even be able to deliver this letter to him.”
When everyone heard this, their faces calmed down again. Most of the Gutian rebels were Miao Yao, who were bullied by Han people for many years and hated them to the core. Every Han farmers and fishermen brought them to Juhao Pavilion. They had to pass through it. Strictly reviewed. It is no more trust than the clan's own trust. Wei Yinbao attributed the reason why he had been able to escape from justice for many years. It was attributed to this strategy of refuting and defending the Han Dynasty and appointing people to others. Lu Taiheng's status in the Pavilion is no longer low. He has been to Gutian I basically didn't see Wei Yinbao in a few times. Now it's even more difficult to say.
Hu Yaoting said, "So. I'll go."
Jiang Wan finished writing the letter. He was pondering as he listened to Lu Taehyung's words. Hu Yaoting's sudden speech made him stunned for a moment. Then he said happily: "I forgot. You really have to do this trip." : "Your injury is not light. You must be careful all the way." Hu Yaoting said: "A small matter is a matter of nothing." He put a blood letter in his arms and swayed his arm. He jumped over several small boats and went ashore like a dragonfly. He was in his hands Two people urgently asked for a follower to take care of him. Ji Yeping nodded. The two also flew on the shore to chase him.
