Chapter 73: Climbing a high branch
(Let me talk about the updates during the Chinese New Year period. During the Chinese New Year period, one update is guaranteed every day, at 8 o'clock in the morning. Don't be too little! There are also old and young gunmen. Yes, there are a lot of things to do during the New Year! Back to normal after the end of the year! Thank you again all the book friends! )
"Fat man, you are really smart." A voice suddenly came from behind, startling Lu You and Jin Bao, and when they looked back, they took a few steps. Outside, He Li and Zhu Zhe were coming side by side.
"Brother He, Brother Zhu!" Lu You smiled brightly, "It's just a guess."
Zhu Zhe looked the two of them up and down and said, "Smartness means Smart, otherwise you wouldn’t be alive now, there’s nothing to be humble about.”
Lu You nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, brother Zhu is absolutely right."
Seeing the fat man nodding and bowing, Zhu Zhe let out a hey and walked away. On the other hand, He Li patted Lu You on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Xiao Zhu has this temperament. He is a young man. In fact, he is a good person. If you interact with him more in the future, you will naturally understand him. This is a man who can be a brother." A good brother who sacrifices his life and sheds his blood!”
The words are very casual, but they contain a lot of meaning. It means that He Li truly regards these two people as his family from now on, so he talks about what will happen in the future, which makes Lu You feel warm in his heart.
"Why do you care? I have always regarded Brother He and Brother Zhu as life and death friends!" Lu You said enthusiastically: "Brother He, after this battle is over, I invite you and Brother Zhu Let’s go to Yingchun Tower together, and be sure to give him face!”
He Li’s eyes lit up when he heard the word Yingchun Tower, and his attitude became even more enthusiastic: “Fat man, you’ve made a lot of money in the past few years! It’s a little money, don’t worry, my brother won’t save you any money!”
"Brother He, the Yelang boss said that when we arrive at Mao'er Mountain, he will give Fat Brother and I two silver medals from Tai'an City..." Jin Bao said cautiously on the side.
He Li raised his eyebrows and said: "Boss Yelang keeps his word, and what he promised is a matter of spit and nail, and it is indispensable for you. After this battle is over, I will do it for the two of you. . The silver medal in Tai'an City cannot be obtained casually. It must be applied first, then reviewed, and finally approved. It will take at least half a month!"
"No problem, I can do it! Wait, I can wait. After this battle, I will go to Tai'an City and wait!" Jin Bao smiled happily.
"Fat Lu invited me to Yingchun Tower, Jinbao, don't you have any expression?" He Lixiao asked.
“Of course it’s also Yingchun Tower!” Jin Bao slapped his chest loudly.
He Li nodded, "I took note of it. Fatty, I don't think you were seriously injured. You two won't participate in the next battle. Just go inside and help with some chores. That's it." "
"Thank you, Brother He, for your consideration!" Lu You was happy. It would be useful to invite people to Yingchun Tower, at least there is no need to take risks in the future. To be honest, he didn't want to die before dawn. Those who died before victory were the most unlucky.
Jinbao asked cautiously: "Brother He, when will the reinforcements come?"
He Li smiled, looked up at the sky, and said: "It's getting late today, it's severe winter. He also regards us as fish on a felt board, so he will not rush to attack. He will definitely wait until tomorrow, when all his troops are gathered before launching a general attack. So tonight, it is basically okay. Tomorrow morning, Yan Dong will launch a general attack. His men and horses are twenty times ours!”
He is just a small horse bandit, with no more than thirty or fifty men at most. Usually when he sees the regular army, he immediately flees. Now, with the last light, looking at the more and more flags gathering at the foot of the mountain, he can't help but feel... He was worried about whether he could get the silver medal.
"Whenever you need our brothers, just call Brother He!" Lu Youyi said sternly: "Being able to fight side by side with Big Brother, you and the Wild Wolf Boss, and live and die together, this will make the fat man boast for a lifetime. Even if I die, I will be very happy."
He Li laughed: "Don't worry, Fatty, you won't die."
Looking at He Li's retreating figure. Jin Bao whispered: "Brother He is quite a nice person, but that Zhu Zhe is not old, but he is not young in temperament, and he looks down on others."
Lu You glanced at him and said, "Bao Son, let me tell you, you have to be more respectful to Zhu Zhe than you are to He Li.”
"What's the point? I think under the boss of the Wild Wolf, He Like has a much higher status than Zhu Zhe. Zhu Zhe's hair is not even long, so I don't know what his background is?"
"Keep your voice down! Lu You said hurriedly: "Are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid? How old is Zhu Zhe? How old is He Li?"
"That's it." Do you need to ask? "
"Yes, there is no need to ask. Zhu Zhe is only twenty years old, and he can keep pace with He Li under Ye Lang. His martial arts skills are not much different between them, so don't forget. He Li is almost twice as old as Zhu Zhe. What will happen to Zhu Zhe in another twenty years?"
Jinbao took a deep breath.
"Bao'er, from now on we will follow the boss of the wild wolf. We are only in our early thirties. We will have a lot to rely on Zhu Zhe in the future. There is absolutely no harm in trying to please him!"
"I Anyway, I'm following you, Fat Brother!" Jinbao took out an ice cube and chewed it: "I have a small head and can't think of so many things. If you think so, I'll just follow you!" "Listen to Jinbao! At this, Lu You laughed and stretched out his big hand to rub the opponent's head: "We are brothers fighting, father and son are soldiers in the battle, we brothers will fight for a good future in the future."
< br>"Fat brother, can you guess who the reinforcements will be?"
Lu You smiled so hard that his face trembled: "At this time, it must be not difficult to guess. The wild wolf can get it The silver medal of Tai'an City, then it's clear who he is. Bao'er, Li Dachui can fight against Beiyuan Wutu and steal tens of thousands of people away from Wutu. Yan Sheng is nothing. Is it a joke? This time, I am afraid that Tai'an City and Li Dachui are planning to attack Aquarius State! They will gather Yan Sheng's troops here and wipe them out in one fell swoop."
At this point, Lu You lowered his voice and whispered: "Maybe the Lord of Tai'an City will also take action. If he comes to capture the thief, he will capture the king first, and if he shoots the man, he will shoot the horse first!"
"No. Right? An innate master, a god-like figure, kills someone himself? "
"Why not?" Lu You said. "A deity also needs to eat, drink, pee and poop, not to mention that this deity has to support so many people? There is also a son who is a horse thief. For the long-term plan of their children, the parents have far-reaching plans!"
" Fat Brother can still hang his book bag?"
"Last time I went back to Tai'an City, I heard it from a storyteller in a teahouse!" Lu You said: "This time, we are on a high branch. We were there before. Even if you stick to it, others will look down upon you. So, Bao'er, there are very few opportunities in this life. If you encounter one, you must seize it tightly. You must not relax and say "we are" again. Who among Tai’an City Lord’s men dares not to look down upon us?”
Jin Bao nodded repeatedly.
Aquarius City, Water Village.
At this moment, both the Qingshui River and the Juma River are all frozen. It will not thaw until at least March or April next year, and these two major arteries outside the customs will start to operate again.
At this moment, hundreds of large and small ships in Aquarius City are all docked in the dock. Someone is responsible for breaking the ice here every day to ensure that the water village does not freeze.
"Your Highness, this is the navy of my Aquarius City, the only one outside the customs!" Yan Sheng said proudly: "It took hundreds of years of management and accumulation to give me, the Yan family, this The foundation, Your Highness, if you have this naval force, you can dominate the outside world and defeat Linghuye at your fingertips.”
"Yan Jishi, it's not that easy!" Tie Le shook his head and said: "There is only one opportunity that we can really take advantage of. The advantage lies in suddenness and concealment. Once the opponent knows that you and I are joining forces, the navy's advantage will be , has been greatly weakened. Therefore, we have only one chance to defeat Linghuye. From now on, there will only be one use for transportation convenience. Moreover, the weather outside the pass is bitterly cold. Look, all the ships now. Aren’t they all lying down? "
Yan Sheng wants to raise the price, and Tie Le wants to lower the price. Naturally, one will exaggerate the role of the navy, and the other will infinitely magnify the other's weaknesses.
“This once is enough!” Yan Sheng said: “Your Highness, do you think so?”
Tie Le laughed loudly: “These ships are important, but I, Tie Le, value them more. , It's the Yan family. If there are these ships, I, Tiele, will use you as governor Yan."
Yan Sheng laughed: "Your Highness, why don't you get on the ship and take a look, my Yan family's warships, There is still something commendable about it.”
"Just when I wanted to broaden my horizons, I, Dayuan, immediately dared to claim to be invincible, but I'm really not good at fighting on a ship!" Tie Le took the lead on the springboard with a smile.
Just as Yan Sheng was about to follow, a person ran over quickly from behind.
"Provincial Governor, Provincial Governor!"
Yan Sheng turned around and looked at the visitor: "What's the matter, tell me!"
The visitor looked happy: "Young Master just now Someone was sent to send an urgent report. Our army has forced the wild wolf to Mao'er Mountain. Now all the troops are gathering there. The wild wolf has nowhere to escape. The eldest son said that tomorrow, we can launch a general attack in one fell swoop. Eradicate this scourge that has harmed our Aquarius State for many years.”
"You little thief chief, since the tiger's mouth has pulled out your teeth, you must be prepared to be bitten to death by the tiger!" Yan Sheng snorted coldly.
Tie Le smiled and said: "Yan Governor, since we are already catching turtles, why don't we go and see the excitement? I would like to see who this wild wolf is, what can he do?" If Yan, Governor, is so aggressive, he will be eliminated quickly!”
“His Highness is joking, but really, I also want His Highness to see the style of my sons in Aquarius State, otherwise, The little pony bandit is really not worthy of my care! Since your highness wants to see it, let’s go and see how my subordinates can defeat the enemy like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves tomorrow?” Tiele said happily.
