Chapter 38 Argument
"To seek refuge with Princess Chu?"
All the leaders exclaimed that they could never imagine that the leader of Wu Village would actually let them seek refuge with Chu Qingyan.
Zhou Xin disagreed at first and immediately sneered:
"Don't you think it's ridiculous for a gangster to surrender to an official?"
"Yeah!" The leaders nodded.
This is Princess Chu, a being who is more noble than the city lord. Does a low-level bandit like Lingfeng Village have the qualifications to vote?
"Ahem, Master Wu, I think we should take the first route and surrender to Lingfeng Village. It's not certain whether Princess Chu will accept our surrender. If she doesn't accept us, isn't she waiting for death?"
The leader of Dazhai, Cheng Feng, did not expect Wu Yong to play such a big role, and did not allow the second path to be feasible.
The leaders below nodded one after another. You can still run now. When Princess Chu leads the army, her life will be in her hands. If she doesn't accept our surrender, it will be over.
Wu Yong saw everyone's expressions of disapproval and smiled disapprovingly:
"The main reason why you reject the second path is because you are afraid that Princess Chu will not agree to our surrender?"
"Uh-huh!"
Everyone nodded and looked at Wu Yong with some expectancy. If possible, they didn't want to be bandits.
They are afraid.
Originally, these bandits thought that life in the mountains was quite relaxing. Usually there were very few officers and soldiers coming to suppress the bandits. Even if they suppressed the bandits, they would just do it for a show. They did not have the guts to seriously suppress the bandits. However, they did use the name of suppressing bandits to defraud the people of their money. Courageous, and very courageous.
But this Princess Chu is different, she is so serious!
More than a dozen large villages have been destroyed.
At this moment, they were panicking, thinking that the bandits were really going to be wiped out. Anyway, while the bandits were suffering, it would still be the same wherever they went.
"If we surrender, I am 90% sure that Princess Chu will accept it!"
Wu Yong shook his jade fan lightly, raised his head and said confidently.
"Oh? Come and listen to Wu Xuexue!" Jiang Yuan's eyes widened.
Wu Yong got up and walked around in the lobby. Everyone followed him closely. Wu Yong shook his head and said:
"Since Princess Chu's reputation as a bandit suppresser spread ten days ago, I went out of my way to learn about Princess Chu's deeds."
"I observed carefully and found a problem!"
Wu Yong stopped and looked at everyone's expressions quietly.
"What's the problem, please tell me quickly!" Jiang Yuanyuan and Wu Yong looked slow and anxious, almost dying of anxiety.
The leaders below agreed very much with Master Jiang's questioning, and now they were all wondering why Master Wu still behaved like a poor scholar. If they hadn't dared to speak, they would have started scolding him long ago.
"Haha, I found that Princess Chu is recruiting troops," Wu Yong was very satisfied with the eager expressions of everyone, "After Princess Chu destroyed the bandits, Princess Chu has recruited all the bandits who survived!"
"Have you really collected them all?"
Some of the leaders were excited. If Princess Chu had taken in the bandits, she might not stop taking Lingfeng Village.
They are no worse than the bandits who were wiped out!
"Yes, when I think of this, I am 90% sure that Princess Chu will accept our surrender." Wu Yong turned to look at the hesitant Cheng Feng and continued:
"Master of the Dazhai, think about it, we are the first people to seek refuge with Princess Chu. Once our reputation is known, Princess Chu will definitely not treat us badly!"
Cheng Feng's eyes brightened when he heard Wu Yong's last words.
"No!"
Suddenly Zhou Xin stood up and pointed at Wu Yong:
"Master Wu Village, you can't push Lingfeng Village into the fire pit!"
Zhou Xin looked back at his surroundings and continued to shout:
"Everyone, do you know why Princess Chu is recruiting troops? It is she who has offended the three major forces in Lingzhou. She has enmity with the three major forces. You also know how terrifying the three major forces in Lingzhou are. If we surrender to Chu Princess, you will be the enemy of the three major forces when the time comes!"
"ah!"
The big boss below suddenly exploded, with a look of fear on his face.
Who in Lingzhou has never heard of the reputation of the three major forces.
Suddenly the lobby became noisy and noisy.
Wu Yong narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhou Xin who was persuading everyone. It seemed that Zhou Xin must have secretly joined the three major forces.
Sure enough, just when Zhou Xin felt that he had said the right thing, he continued:
"It is better to take refuge in the Zhongyi Hall than to take refuge in Princess Chu. I have a connection. I know a leader of the Zhongyi Hall. When the time comes, we can continue to be bandits after taking refuge in the Zhongyi Hall. Moreover, with the Zhongyi Hall as our back, no one in our Lingfeng Village can Don’t be afraid, you can rob whoever you want when the time comes, and live a comfortable and prosperous life!”
"The second village leader is right, we have to rely on others anyway, why don't we rely on Zhongyi Hall, why should we rely on Princess Chu!"
"We believe in the Second Village Master."
Zhou Xin’s cronies and leaders supported him one after another.
The remaining leaders were wavering and looked at the leader of Dazhai, Cheng Feng.
Soon the lobby became quiet.
Cheng Feng looked at Wu Yong and Zhou Xin standing on both sides, and finally looked at Wu Yong and said:
"Master Wu, Master Zhou is right. Do you still think we want to take refuge in Princess Chu?"
Wu Yong took a step forward and said confidently: "I still choose to seek refuge with Princess Chu!"
"You want to kill our Lingfeng Village..." Zhou Xin said angrily.
"Don't worry, Master Zhou, wait for me to finish." Wu Yong interrupted Zhou Xin and continued to face the crowd:
"Everyone, Master Zhou only knows that Princess Chu has provoked the three major forces, but he did not say anything about the forces behind Princess Chu!"
"Master Zhou, you must know that Princess Chu is the second daughter of the general who governs the country, and the younger sister of Chu Junyan, the most arrogant person in the Yu Dynasty. The power behind her is not stronger than the three major forces?
And there is another person behind Princess Chu, King Chu!
The entire Lingyang Mansion is the fiefdom of King Chu, and King Chu is a member of the royal family!
Is there anyone more powerful than the royal family in this world?
I just want my brothers to live a better life!
As for who the brothers want to join, I respect their choice. "
Wu Yong hesitated to speak, and finally sighed, walking slowly back to his seat.
The big bosses below were silent, looking at each other, not knowing what to say.
"Okay, both village leaders are right. Who do you think we should rely on?" Cheng Feng himself couldn't make up his mind, so he wanted to see what others thought.
The bald Jiang Yuan was the first to speak: "I support Wu Xuexiu. He is a scholar and has a better brain than the rest of us. You have also seen that after Wu Xuexiu came to our village, our life in the village was obviously better than before. "
"I support what the leader of the three villages said, and I agree with what the leader of the Wu village said, we surrender to Princess Chu!"
A big boss stood up and said.
"Yes, I also support Leader Wu!"
"Support Master Wu!"
Soon most of the leaders agreed with Wu Yong's choice.
Cheng Feng was afraid that Zhou Xin was still unconvinced, so he asked Yuwen Chengdu again:
"What do you think, Master Yuwen?"
When Zhou Xin saw Cheng Feng asking about Yuwen Chengdu, he cursed in his heart, "What the hell, if you don't agree, then you don't agree. What are you asking Yuwen Chengdu for? Who doesn't know that Yuwen Chengdu and Wu Yong are in the same group!"
They are in the same group!
Sure enough, Yuwen Chengdu’s deep voice sounded:
"I support Wu Yong!"
