It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 282

Above the big river, the boats are divided into waves, and several big boats are heading forward.

Several ships come from different places but have a common destination.

"Brother Qi, it's always been good"

"It turned out to be Brother Zhu, I'm lucky to meet you."

The people on the two boats greeted each other. Qihuipo and Zhu Wucang were both bandits of Mo Mingmifeng, and they each dominated the Qinchuan area. Today, I got news from Dou Zhutong and went to Dou's Village at the same time.

Along the way, I met many people, all leaders of each family. If Huapihu itself doesn't have such great energy, but everyone knows that the real commander behind this matter is actually Mo Mingmi.

At about noon, everyone arrived at Doujia Village, and Huapihu personally greeted them at the gate of the village.

"Boss Qi, you came early, please come in quickly, Master Yan is already waiting inside."

"Master Yan is here too?" Qi Huipo was surprised.

"Yes, Master Yan will be here in the morning."

Qi Huipo walked quickly into the cottage, knowing that Qinchuanguan would send someone this time, but he didn't expect that Yan Di would be the one who came out. Here, Yan Di is a big man who cannot be offended.

Everyone gathered in the cottage hall, and Qi Huipo saw that, except for Yun Zhonglong, all eighteen school captains had arrived. From Yun Zhonglong, Zhou Chahai was also sent, but this was Dou Zhutong's site, and Dou Zhutong didn't show up today.

"Sister-in-law of the Dou family, brother Dou, we haven't seen each other for a long time." Zhu Wucang.

"Oh, my man has a minor illness, and now he is recuperating in the inner hospital. Today's matter is the same with my presence here." Huapihu said with a smile, but in his heart he just wanted to scold his mother. Knowing that Lv Chunhua's body was burned, Dou Zhutong couldn't be ill, and now he hangs with a mouthful of ginseng soup.

For Huapihu, everyone dare not give face. Although Huapihu is a woman, she is not weak in martial arts, and in terms of ruthlessness, she is no worse than Dou Zhutong.

What's more, the person behind her is Mo Mingmi.

All the eighteen families arrived, and these people were all vicious people who fought bravely. They met each other, and they uttered foul language. It was not until the appearance of Yan Di that everyone quieted down.

"Everyone, it goes without saying that everyone understands that today everyone is here for the same thing, that is, Cheng Dalei." Huapihu said: "I think everyone has heard of Cheng Dalei's reputation, and to be honest, it is a People. But here is our territory. Brothers are eating on a river. When he comes here, he wants to grab everyone's food. I ask the brothers, can we agree?"

"Since he dares to come here, he has to listen to Boss Mo. If it's a dragon, he has to be coiled, and if it's a tiger, he has to lie down for me. If he dares not obey, the brothers will teach him to be a man."

"I want everyone to come because of this. There is no bowl for Cheng Dalei to eat in Qinchuan." Huapihu was firm.

Yan Di only spoke at this moment: "Cheng Dalei's subordinates are only one or two hundred people. The last time Dou Zhutong ate it, he mainly suffered from the poisonous snakes in the water. This is easy to solve. Use realgar to drive away the snakes, and everyone takes small rafts to the island. The key now is, how many people can each family send?"

The voices in the hall quietened down. Although these people were a bunch of scumbags, they were all very ghostly. They wouldn't do something like this.

"As long as Cheng Dalei is pacified this time, General Mo will exempt everyone from taxes for March." Yan Di.

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up. Although the 18 families each guarded one side, monopolized the private salt, and wanted to ask for protection money from the merchants who passed by, they exploited the nearby ones, and Mo Mingmi also exploited them. To put it bluntly, they were just working for Mo Mingmi. If you can have three months without a pledge, this is not a small sum.

"Don't worry, Sergeant Yan, I have long thought that the surname Cheng is not pleasing to the eye. We sent three hundred people."

"No matter how mad the person surnamed Cheng is in other places, it's not easy to get here. We sent 200 people."

Everyone, you said a word, I said a word, and there was chaos in the hall. You sent 200 people, I sent 300 people, and finally the 18 families made up a total of 3,000 people.

When the sound slowly quieted down, Yan Di took out a map from his arms.

"This is the map of Snake Island. Let's see where we should attack."

"Master Yan, thousands of people beat a hundred people, and where are they going to attack, just kill them."

...

On Toad Island, the project is still in full swing, with three shifts for ten days, plus the bonus of building mastery skills, it is now nearing the end.

Originally, half of the lush trees on the island were felled. The Juyi Hall, the Medical Hall, the Dianjiantai, the observation platform... almost rose from the ground. Two piers, light and dark, were built on the periphery of Toad Island, and there was a dock to be completed. , In water, boats are more useful than horses.

In addition to this, there are defensive facilities, towers in high places, traps in the woods, and reefs buried in the water.

Until this day, all the projects have been completed, and the toad village has changed from an abandoned and broken cottage to a second-class cottage.

"Everyone stand together, stand together, align front and back, don't sway from side to side."

In the martial arts field, Xu Shenji brought a table over and gathered the strong men who had been snatched together.

"Third brother, what are they doing?" Someone in the crowd whispered quietly.

"It is estimated that it is to unload the mill and kill the donkey. Let's cross the river and demolish the bridge. Now that the work is over, we don't need us anymore."

"Let us go..."

"It's also possible that we were joined as bandits."

Xu Shenji and Liu Bei sat behind a table, Zhang Fei, Gao Feibao and others led the team and stepped forward one by one.

"Name?" Xu Shenji

"Zhao Sanzhuang."

"Where did it come from?"

"Qingye Town."

"Profession?"

"Bricklayer."

Xu Shenji asked, Liu Bei registered, and the pen fell on the words. Liu Bei took out a coin from the box.

"The bricklayer's wages are a sling, and the money is lined up next to it."

Zhao Sanzhuang was holding the money, and he was a little confused for a while. He had heard of people who took care of meals before killing people, but he had never heard of anyone who gave money before killing people.

"This queue, what's the queue for?"

"Have a boatload of people to send you ashore, go and wait by the side."

"Really let us go back?"

"Why, you don't want to go back." Xu Shenji said: "We are also recruiting troops now, come here, if you want to sign up, stand there."

Everyone got the money, and they stood together like falling clouds in the room. Some got one hang, some got a few hundred yuan, and for example, the carpenter and mason could reach three or four hangs.

These people face the loess and turn their backs to the sky. Like this ten days of busy work, taking care of meals in the morning and evening, and finally getting real money, there are not many opportunities like this.

"Master, that... I want to ask, do we still have work here in the future?" Zhao Sanzhuang said: "If you still have work, I can still come."

"Why don't you register everyone here? We may still be of use to you in the future. We will recruit people according to the roster. By the way, aren't you from Qingye Town? You are the person in charge of Qingye Town. ." Xu Shenji paused: "Of course, if anyone goes out to talk nonsense, we can't find your wife, children and children."
