Chapter 233: Treat Each Other Sincerely (Please Vote for the Big Chapter)

The huge fleet of boats slowly sailed into Jizhou Wharf to the neat and powerful chants of trackers.

Jiang Kui, who had been waiting for a long time at the pier, stretched out his hand to build a pergola in front of his eyes. He squinted his eyes and looked carefully. He saw business flags with the word "Yang" plated in gold, flying in the golden sunlight like ears of rice...

"coming!"

He hurriedly knocked on the square table beside him. Lei Heng and Liu Meng, who were sitting drinking tea, quickly put down their tea bowls, stood up, followed Jiang Kui's footsteps, and went out.

Large ships docked slowly one after another. The laborers who had been waiting on the dock for a long time lifted up the heavy springboard and swarmed in. No one greeted them, but it was orderly. There was no shoving or shouting that usually occurs in order to compete for customers and business.

Wu Eryong stood on the side of the ship and looked around. When he saw the three brothers Lei Heng, Jiang Kui and Liu Meng standing on the trestle, he immediately jumped onto the trestle.

"Manager Wu, long time no see!"

Jiang Kui stepped forward with a smile and cupped his fists.

Wu Eryong quickly avoided it and returned the favor with cupped fists: "Chief Jiang, you are too cruel!"

Finally, he lowered his voice and said very fast: "Our boss is here..."

Jiang Kui turned his head in surprise and saw an extraordinary tall figure in white clothes and a silver crown. He tiptoed across three feet and landed gently on the trestle... He landed quietly, and the wooden trestle did not move at all.

Watching him stand on tiptoe, Jiang Kui and Lei Heng's eyes shrank instinctively.

"But in front of General Jiang?"

The man in white stepped forward, cupped his fists with a smile, and said, "Your Excellency, Li Jincheng, I have heard about Commander-in-Chief Jiang for a long time, and today I finally meet him. He is truly majestic and majestic!"

Jiang Kui was surprised and said to himself, "He actually came in person." With a smile on his face, he enthusiastically stepped forward and returned the gift: "Master Li is driving in Jizhou, why didn't you inform us in advance? How about the three of us brothers? Get ready..."

"Chief Jiang is so polite. I was too restless and decided to come with the boat to have a look. Besides, why should our family care about these false gifts?"

Li Jincheng cupped his hands and smiled. Finally, he turned his eyes to Lei Heng and Liu Meng behind Jiang Kui, and asked pretending to be confused: "These two seniors are..."

Jiang Kui quickly turned around: "Let someone introduce me, this is my brother, the 'Hunjiang Dragon' Lei Heng, the head of the Lushan family, and this is my brother, the 'winged tiger' Liu Meng, the fifth head of the Lushan family."

"Oh, it turns out you are the boss of Lei Da."

Li Jincheng stepped forward with a smile and bowed his hands: "I have admired my name for a long time. It seems that we are really destined. Your nickname is only one character different from my father's nickname when he was reincarnated."

Lei Heng responded with a polite smile: "It's just a bandit, it's not worth mentioning, but Mr. Li's name is 'a silver gun can control three rivers, not a fierce dragon that can cross the river'. Lei Mou has been like a thunder in his first few years."

Li Jincheng smiled and sighed softly: "It's a pity that my father's life is not long and he has no chance to meet Mr. Lei, otherwise you should have a chat!"

Lei Heng also nodded regretfully: "It's really a pity to be sidelined by fate!"

Li Jincheng turned to look at Liu Meng again, his smile slightly reduced: "I have met Mr. Liu Wu."

Liu Meng also returned the courtesy calmly: "Master Li, you are so polite. Our brothers have prepared a few banquets in the city. I also ask Master Li not to dislike the poor food at the border and show your appreciation."

Jiang Kui noticed the awkward atmosphere between the two of them, slapped his forehead and smoothed things over with a smile: "Look at my brain, hurry up, hurry up, Mr. Li, please come in soon..."

Li Jincheng smiled and stretched out his hand: "Chief Jiang, please, Mr. Lei... Er Yong, I leave this to you. You must make clear the amount to General Jiang's brothers, which ones were raised by the second brother and which ones. Hall Master Yang’s financing and what is Young Master Xiang’s financing are all clear!”

Wu Eryong: "Yes, the boss!"

The four of them went to Jizhou City in a polite manner.

Not long after, the four of them sat down in the largest restaurant in Jizhou City.

"If General Jiang is so polite, I will turn around and leave..."

Li Jincheng picked up the wine bowl in front of him and turned his back, smiling as he avoided the wine jar in Jiang Kui's hand.

Jiang Kui laughed and sat back on the chair: "Yes, yes, we are all happy people. We don't pay attention to the host and guest, just eat as much as you want... Store, bring us three more jars of wine!"

The younger brother in the hall responded loudly: "Please wait a moment, sir, I'll be here soon!"

Only then did Li Jincheng come to his senses and put the wine bowl back on the table: "This looks like a member of his own family drinking!"

"Ashamed to say it!"

Jiang Kui smiled and shook his head: "My three brothers are more than your brothers can help me, but I haven't even gone south to visit you brothers until now. It's really rude!"

Lei Heng raised the wine jar in front of him, filled himself with a large bowl of wine, raised it and said, "Lei is a rough man and can't speak. This bowl, Lei will pay tribute to Mr. Li."

After saying that, without waiting for Li Jincheng's reaction, he raised his head and drank the wine bowl in one gulp.

Li Jincheng looked at the empty wine bowls and rice bowls in front of him, then glanced in the direction of the wine jar at Lei Heng's feet, and helplessly picked up a plate of cold-cut smoked rabbit: "Master Lei is really not very good at talking. The wine hasn’t been served yet, how can I drink it... Come on, let’s replace the wine with meat and have a plate of Master Lei!”

As he spoke, he picked up the rabbit meat in front of him, raised his head and took a big mouthful of it into his mouth, chewing it with a ferocious expression.

The three brothers stood up quickly to persuade each other, and the tense atmosphere at the table finally eased...

At the right time, the store finally brought the wine. With the wine acting as a lubricant, the atmosphere at the table became more harmonious, and soon they began to call each other brothers.

"Brother Li, if we don't talk to each other, what's the matter with you going north in person this time?"

Jiang Kui's blushing hand was stroking the wine on his beard, and he patted Li Jincheng's shoulder vigorously with his other hand: "Don't mess with those restless little ones. Although we three brothers have been living outside the customs for a long time, we still have nothing to do with matters in the world. The three brothers have also heard a little bit. If there is a place where the horse's high stirrups are too short, you must not talk in circles. Even if you say it bluntly, whether you want a person or a knife, it is a trivial matter. After drinking this drink, We brothers can go south with you and beat up those Jinfan thieves who are trying to steal the family property from you..."

Liu Meng reminded in a low voice: "It's Jinfanwu!"

"that's not important!"

Jiang Kui slapped the wine table and waved his backhand: "It doesn't matter if he is Jinfanwu or a Jinfan thief, if he dares to extend his claws to our territory of Lianlianwu, we will not agree, but we will chop him into a hundred pieces or chop him into pieces." Turn it into minced meat and feed it to the dogs. Brother, just say something and let the brothers deal with him!"

Lei Heng, who was on the opposite side, also raised his wine bowl and said, "The second brother's words are a bit rough, but that's what Li'er is!"

Li Jincheng wiped the saliva from his cheeks and wondered, did the second brother's gangster aura come from the three brothers?

"Jincheng will bear in mind the friendship between the three old brothers!"

He threw his hands around in confusion: "But I'm just having a little fuss at Lianlianwu and Jinfanwu, so I won't bother the three old brothers..."

"Bang."

Jiang Kui slapped the dishes on the wine table, and then said in a rough voice with raised eyebrows, "You look down on our brothers?"

Li Jincheng hurriedly handed over his hand: "No, no, that's not what I meant... Hey, we are all family members, so I will get straight to the point and tell the truth. If there is anything I say that is wrong, please don't worry."

"Let's talk about it. Let's talk about the dispute between our Lianlianwu and Jinfanwu. It seems to be in full swing. If we really want to settle them, I won't bother my second brother to take action. Boss Yang, Young Master Xiang and I will go to the two sides. They can be bulldozed in one night!"

"The reason why I left Jinfanwu to fight slowly with them is not only because I want to make a point for myself, but also because I want the boys below to make a point for themselves and behave with their heads held high."

"We, the four brothers, are our peers, and we are all brothers born in a hail of swords, guns, and arrows. If I ask them for help in everything, even if they don't look down on me because of it, I myself will look down on myself. If things continue like this, what will this friend do?"

"I don't have many good friends, and they don't have many good friends either. We all still think that this friendship will be passed down to us for the rest of our lives. The little property of Lianlianwu is not worth the trouble of the four of us brothers." friendship!"

"I really don't have any other intention to go north this time. My second brother and Er Yong have been talking about these old brothers recently, saying that it is not easy for you to plant flags outside the pass. Now there will be several batches of Japanese servant troops sent to you. , there must be a shortage of food and daily necessities back there. The Tatars on the grasslands are jumping for joy these days. The imperial court will definitely control the border trade soon. They have to think of ways to get you some food and daily necessities first, so as not to let you bleed. Tears again."

"Isn't it going to be winter soon? I just thought about taking the time to come over and see what the elder brothers are missing. We can also seize the time to make arrangements and see if we can make it in time for winter. I sent it to you before so that you wouldn’t have to endure this winter..."

"By the way, the second brother also said that the old, weak, women and children on your side should be sent to the customs as soon as possible. If there is no way to resettle them in Liaodong, just follow our ship south and we will find a way to resettle them. If the fight starts, it will be troublesome if you want to send people into the customs. You are dragged down by the old, weak, women and children, and you can't concentrate on fighting the Tatars! "

The three brothers at the wine table stared at Li Jincheng blankly, their minds unable to turn around... It was as if they had been knocked unconscious by a big pie falling from the sky!

Li Jin looked at their unfocused eyes and couldn't help but raise his hand and wave it in front of Jiang Kui and Lei Heng.

Jiang Kui suddenly came to his senses, grabbed Li Jincheng's hand, and asked in disbelief: "Are you telling the truth?"

Lei Heng couldn't help but ask: "Why does Yang Erlang do these things?"

It's not that he was rude, but that he had never encountered such a person or such a thing in his entire life...

"What are you planning?"

Li Jincheng was also stunned by his question, and finally smiled, a little unruly.

He cupped his fists towards the three brothers again: "I'm sorry for my blunt words. If there's anything I don't like, please don't take it to heart... I thought you might have been at the border for too long and didn't even know." What do these three words Yang Erlang mean in the northern martial arts world, in the southern martial arts world, and in the entire Wei Dynasty!"

"As long as the second brother is willing to speak, he will split the earth and become the king. I'm afraid the emperor will definitely agree!"

"As long as the second brother is willing to speak, the North and South Wulin will have to beg him for the position of leader of the martial arts alliance!"

"He just wants to be emperor. As long as he doesn't come back in Japan, who can do anything to win over him?"

"What can he do to the three old brothers?"

"To put it more bluntly, what do these three old brothers have that are worthy of him?"

"Power? Money? Land? Or martial arts and beauty?"

"He just wants to make his old friends live a better life. He just wants everyone in the world to live a better life..."

"You don't treat him like a piece of cake, but my second brother sincerely treats you like half a master."

I told the three brothers not to take it seriously.

But when he opened his mouth, every word he spoke pierced the hearts of the three brothers.

Unfortunately, the three brothers couldn't even utter a single word of defense.

To be honest, although the rumors about Yang Erlang in the world are becoming more and more evil.

But after all, the three of them hadn't seen Yang Ge for several years, and they really couldn't figure out how high Yang Ge's martial arts was. They had always been skeptical about Yang Erlang's reputation as the best in the world. They felt that It was the building outside the building who was trying to kill Yang Erlang.

After all... Yang Erlang's martial arts was passed down to his three brothers. Others don't know how many years Yang Erlang has been practicing martial arts. How can they still not know it? How can anyone become the best in the world from a white body in just four or five years?

That’s obviously not martial arts!

But Yang Erlang and the others hadn't seen each other for many years, and now they saw Li Jincheng, the weakest among the four brothers of Yang Erlang.

Just now Li Jincheng stood on tiptoe and stepped easily on the dock. Even Lei Heng, the most skilled martial artist among the three brothers, could not say that he could definitely beat Li Jincheng.

A moment of silence.

After a while, Liu Meng, who had always talked the least at the dinner table, suddenly stood up, lifted up the wine jar that was bigger than a person's head, and motioned to Li Jincheng: "It's the three of us who sit in a well and look at the sky, and judge the gentleman with the heart of a villain. In this world, I respect Mr. Li, and I also respect Mr. Yang, the ‘Lord of the Gods’!”

After saying that, he lifted up the wine jar and drank like a cow.

Jiang Kui and Lei Heng looked at Liu Meng, who was drinking heavily, and opened their mouths, but they didn't know what to say... To be honest, secretly, the one they were most dissatisfied with Yang Erlang's famous name was Liu Meng. .

After all, back then, he was on par with Yang Erlang and was just one move away...

Li Jincheng watched Liu Meng drink with cold eyes. It wasn't until he drank half the jar of wine in one breath that he stood up without saying a word, lifted the jar of wine beside him, raised his head and poured it into his mouth...

Seeing this, Jiang Kui and Lei Heng stood up quickly, one trying to persuade Liu Meng and the other Li Jincheng.

"Okay, okay, as long as it makes sense..."

"My family, no matter what I say, I will throw away the words..."

Liu Meng and Li Jincheng fended off the two men's hands that came to grab the wine jar, and drank all the wine in one gulp while holding their necks.

After a while, both of them were blushing and holding the empty wine jar upside down, staring at each other like cockfighting cocks!

"Snapped."

The two wine jars smashed to the ground at the same time, and the two of them said in unison: "Waiter, bring the wine!"

Seeing this, Jiang Kui and Lei Heng rushed forward and forced the two men, who were holding their necks, back to the chairs.

"Okay, now that we've said it's our family, no one should take it seriously!"

Jiang Kui forcibly changed the subject: "Brother Li, let's get down to business. How much food can your brothers get together?"

Li Jincheng shook his head drunkenly: "Don't worry about how much we can get, let's talk about how much brother Lei needs!"

Jiang Kui and Lei Heng looked at each other and said in a low voice with some embarrassment: "What you just said is indeed the truth. I have received an official document restricting border trade. From now on, every large amount of goods entering and exiting the customs will be handled by dedicated personnel. , I can’t even interfere anymore... The gap on the Lushan side is huge, and it will be even bigger when the servant army is sent over!"

"No matter how big the gap is, brother, just count!"

Li Jincheng, who was drunk, stopped being polite and said: "As long as Brother Lei can guarantee that every grain of food we send will not fall into the hands of the Tatars; as long as Brother Lei can guarantee that every grain we send will not fall into the hands of the Tatars; Every strand of thread will be worn on the bodies of the heroes who killed the Tatars... Even if it requires five hundred thousand stones of grain and five hundred thousand bolts of silk cloth, our brothers will try our best to get them for you! "

"It can't be that much, it can't be that many..."

Lei Heng was shocked by his tone, and his shaking hands were trembling with excitement. He had a feeling of surprise and suffocation, saying, "I have never encountered such a rich battle in my whole life." "Now we are on the mountain. The food consumption in a month is only four to five hundred shi. The brothers are used to hardship. Even if they have fine grain, they are still reluctant to eat it. On weekdays, they mix two handfuls of rice with a pot of wild vegetables and grass roots to make a paste to satisfy their hunger. They can have 20,000 to 30,000 shi of grain. It’s enough for us to have a good year in the mountains. Those Japanese servants who came from the back came from the army and had 30,000 to 40,000 grains, which was enough for them. Our own brothers all eat mush to satisfy their hunger. There is no reason for them to eat better than our own brothers. Bar?"

After hearing his narration, Li Jincheng sobered up a bit. He struggled to sit upright while holding on to the dining table, and said seriously: "Second brother is doing these things just because he doesn't want to see this. From now on, our own brothers can eat whatever they have to. We bought these grains with money, clean grains, not plundered from the hands of ordinary people. There is no need to be so economical... Oh, by the way, the money to buy grains was all robbed from Japan. This can be regarded as taking from the people. , Use it for the people!”

As he said this, the four people at the dinner table laughed.

Li Jincheng continued: "It is already the beginning of September. We will raise 100,000 to 200,000 shi of grain before the beginning of winter. Later, we will have to see if the winter snow will be heavy this year. If we can't transport it, We have to wait until next spring. When my brothers go back, they can think about how to hoard this batch of food. "

"Forgive me for saying more. The food we got is not a big deal for our own brothers. If we have to burn it, it won't be a pity. We must not fall into the hands of the Tatars. The second brother is the most annoyed by this." It's such a bad thing. If he knows that the food he bought with real money has entered the mouth of the Tatars, he will be so angry that he will go out and kill them with a knife on his back. "

"He has been running around for a few years and has never had a peaceful life. He still hasn't even built a family. Let him be less worried..."

When Lei Heng heard this, he picked up the wine bowl and said solemnly: "As long as I am still breathing, a grain of grain will never fall from my hands into the hands of the Tatars!"

Li Jincheng struggled to grab the wine jar from Jiang Kui, poured himself a bowl of wine, and drank it down.

Jiang Kui looked at him like this, and after a moment of silence he said: "Let us three brothers do something for you brothers. It doesn't mean buying and selling, but you three brothers have done this job." Come on, if we don’t do something, we’re going to feel bad!”

Lei Heng put down the wine bowl, nodded heavily and said, "Yes, that's what I mean too!"

Liu Meng said: "Otherwise, the three of us brothers should lead the people south to demolish that Jinfanwu. We are quick with our swords and no one will know that it was the three of us brothers who did it!" "

Jiang Kui: "What a great idea!"

Lei Heng: "What a great idea!"

"This is not possible, this is not possible..."

Li Jincheng shook his head like a rattle: "If we let the old brothers intervene, this matter will go wrong, and our friendship will also go wrong. No, no, no!"

Jiang Kui slapped the wine table: "Then you have to show the way for us three brothers, right? You are the heroes who can run with a horse on your shoulders, and we three brothers are also men who can stand up to others with their fists!"

"or……"

Li Jincheng thought about it for a long time and said in a low voice: "Let's ask the elder brothers to try to get a group of cattle and sheep to enter the customs. The second brother is not good at anything, he just wants to eat and drink, and he is not willing to do it for himself." If you want to harm the people's cattle, you have to try your luck every time!"

Jiang Kui shook his head: "This kind of incidental matter is not worth mentioning on our man's wine table!"

Lei Heng: "I will lead my brothers to do some voting when I turn around. The grassland is huge and there are as many cattle and sheep as I want!"

"Then I really can't think of anything else..."

Li Jincheng spread his hands and said, "We really don't lack anything. Even if we do, those grass-head kings in the grassland will definitely not be able to give it to us."

Jiang Kui waved his hand: "I don't care, think about it again!"

Lei Heng: "Yes, think about it again..."

Liu Meng: "Otherwise, we three brothers should go and build Jinfanwu, right? It would be easier to transport food if we build more boats, right?"

Li Jincheng:......

He held his head and had a headache and thought for a long time. Finally, he came up with an idea and tried: "How about I send a group of good people over and ask Brother Lei to take them to the grassland for me to broaden their horizons? I, Lianlianwu Taiping, It’s been too long, and the people below have lost their blood. They are more like businessmen than charlatans. I want to lead them to fight for their breath, but you all know that the petty quarrels in the jiangs and lakes will not lead to anything. It must be a steel mouth sharpened by wind and snow outside the pass!"

Lei Heng hesitated: "Isn't this... still taking advantage of you, brother?"

Just as Li Jincheng was about to speak again, Jiang Kui had already slapped the wine table: "That's it. When the brothers from Lianhuanwu arrive in Liaodong, they will go to my place to beat them first. When they are ready, they will go to Lushan to make hair. I will take care of Master Rabbit." Come on, let’s make you a strong-willed man!”

Li Jincheng was overjoyed and picked up the wine bowl: "Then it's a deal, let's do it!"

The three brothers all raised their wine bowls: "Do it!"

The four wine bowls collided heavily.
