“Thank you for saving me… …” Seeing Zhou Yi fighting off the man in gray, Gong Shangyu quickly stood up, walked to Zhou Yi and bowed.
“Hey! Hey! Hey!” Zhou Yi quickly waved his hands to stop Gong Shangyu, then slowly took off the bamboo hat on his head. He just wanted to mock the masked man in gray, and Zhou Yi was not really prepared to play tricks: “Don’t thank me yet, the one with the big sword, do you still remember me?”
"Are you an accomplice in the robbery that day?" Li Hen suddenly recalled that night when Zhou Yi forced him back with a sword and rescued Yue Shan and the other two, and he exclaimed loudly.
"That's right!" Zhou Yi suddenly revealed a bandit-like look, and then waved his hand in the direction of the dense forest, shouting: "I am here to rob your government silver too! Come on! Children!"
... ... ... ..
"What? You said the official silver has been transported away?" Hearing Gong Shangyu's words, Zhou Yi smashed the table in the main hall of the mountain stronghold with one palm, jumped up from the chair, and said: "This is impossible. Your transportation that night was clearly destroyed by us! It was obviously not transported out!"
"That... is actually fake... it's just used to deceive people." Yan Yurou seemed to be a little afraid of Zhou Yi and spoke hesitantly.
Ren Ya said, "No wonder there were so few traces of carriages in Ping'an Town that day. I'm afraid you guys spread the news that you would exchange official silver in Ping'an Town yourself, right?"
Li Hen nodded to show his agreement.
"Oh!" Zhou Yi covered his face and said with disappointment: "So there is no money left in this broken village? Oh my... all my efforts were in vain."
Ren Ya smiled and patted Zhou Yi on the shoulder, then asked Li Hen and the others, "Who is that gray-clothed man? Do you know who he is?"
"This... I'm not sure." Gong Shangyu looked embarrassed.
"You don't know, so you just cooperate with them?" Zhou Yi said.
Ren Ya smiled and said, "There are hundreds of thousands of taels of government silver. When you hear this, most of your rationality is swallowed up. Who cares who they are? But greed always has its consequences. That gray-clothed man is simply using you. Now that the big thing is done, he swallowed your money and then came to kill you to silence you!"
Zhou Yi turned around and walked to Fu Ziwen, with a flattering smile on his face, and whispered: "Boss, I didn't get the good news. How about you take some of the things in this village and just move them as..."
Just as Zhou Yi was explaining to Cheng Yiyi, the leader of the Yanmen Five Killers, Gong Shangyu, suddenly walked up to Zhou Yi and said loudly: "No matter what, today's disaster of the Gray Clothes Man was entirely saved by the help of the young hero Qianbei. We are willing to accept Brother Qianbei as our leader and the master of our village!"
"Damn it! Stop it!" Zhou Yi waved his hands hastily and refused, "I am a young hero with lofty ambitions and I keep myself clean. How can I become a bandit here? I am..."
"Okay! It's a deal!" Before Zhou Yi could finish his words, Cheng Yiyi suddenly walked up to Zhou Yi with his head held high and quickly agreed. Zhou Yi was about to refute, but was suppressed by Cheng Yiyi's meaningful eyes and had to respond hesitantly.
Since then, the Yanmen Five Killers and their group have been incorporated into the "Yilou Ting Fengyu" studio. As for Yue Shan, Xiao Han and Pao Dingding, they also found this interesting and joined the group and became members of "Yilou Ting Fengyu".
The next thing to do is to rebuild the stronghold and deploy personnel, which will naturally be the responsibility of Fu Ziwen and Cheng Yiyi, and has nothing to do with Zhou Yi, a free-spirited man.
Zhou Yi excitedly ran to invite Tang Shangxin to go to the frontier with him, but when they left, Tang Shangxin had already left quietly, leaving Su Changyan looking at him somewhat embarrassedly.
Zhou Yi had no interest in chatting with Su Changyan, so he rode on Black Narcissus and continued to move towards the outside of the Great Wall with Ren Ya.
The two of them rode side by side on the mountain road, and Ren Ya suddenly said, "Brother Qianbei, your female boss is planning something big!"
"What do you mean?" Zhou Yi was a little surprised.
Ren Ya smiled, looked at Zhou Yi and asked jokingly: "Brother Zhou Yi, which one do you think is more important, hundreds of thousands of taels of government silver or a small hill like Luliang Mountain?"
"Of course it's official silver! Hundreds of thousands of taels! Damn, if I can get it, I can make at least millions of RMB in an offline transaction! I won't have to worry about the rest of my life!" Zhou Yi said without thinking.
"Hehe!" Ren Ya laughed and said, "This is the difference between Brother Qianbei and your female boss. For a free-spirited person like Brother Qianbei, money is of course more important. But for someone with ambition, it's completely different!"
"Brother Qianbei, think about it, the Luliang Mountains are strategically located and easy to defend but difficult to attack. The food inside is enough to feed nearly 10,000 people. And since it is located in a remote area near Yanmen Pass, the imperial court won't pay much attention to it. It's a perfect place for development!"
"No wonder! Cheng Yiyi is so excited, I thought he got the five kills from Yanmen!" Zhou Yi suddenly showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, then suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked at Ren Ya, and said in surprise: "I didn't expect it! Xiao Ren Ya, you are so smart! When you were in Luoyang before, you were not pretending to be stupid, right?"
"No way!" Ren Ya said, "I just followed Brother Zhao for a long time and learned his way of thinking. When I was in Luoyang, there was a great man like Brother Zhao, so why would I show off my skills in front of him?"
"That's right!" Zhou Yi couldn't help but smile in relief when he thought of the Zhao Emperor Bing who had planned everything. He looked at the sky from afar and said, "I wonder how he is doing in Luoyang now? Has he returned to Kaifeng safely?"
Zhou Yi drove the Black Narcissus for about half a mile. He saw many people standing in a row on the road ahead, ready for battle.
When Zhou Yi saw these people blocking his way, his face suddenly turned extremely pale. He never thought that these people had any good intentions in coming to him.
So he immediately jumped off his horse and drove it aside to rest and eat grass. Then he held up the Jade Water Sword and strode forward to greet them, saying with a smile: "So it's you old friends. I am honored to have you traveled a long way to wait for me here."
The people blocking the road were Changshengguo, the successor of the Dalun Temple of the Tantric Buddhism, and Ouyang Feng, the successor of Baituo Village.
Of course, what made Zhou Yi feel even more formidable was the Tantric Lama standing in front of the two men.
He was wearing a red cassock, his face was fair and rosy, he had a handsome appearance, and had an almost devilish masculine charm. His eyes were shining with a flickering light, looking straight into people's hearts. His forehead was vast, and just standing there he had an air of being otherworldly.
He smiled at Zhou Yi and said, "I am very happy to see you, young man who can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk!" (To be continued)
