Chapter 16 Entanglement

(At this moment, my mood is like the name of this chapter, entangled! There is a feeling that I am not flattering. I dare not ask my brothers for red tickets. As long as my brothers don't care about me, I will be satisfied!)

"Li Lingfeng!" After returning to the village, Xiao Tianjian stood in the gathering hall where the banquet had been withdrawn and shouted to Li Lingfeng, who was standing below.

"The little one is!" Li Lingfeng originally wanted to kneel down and answer. He thought that Xing Tianjun did not seem to advocate this rule, so he quickly straightened his waist and answered loudly.

"You did a good job today. Remember your skills once and be promoted to a long time! Fifty taels of silver! Are you satisfied with another pair of iron armor? Xiao Tianjian said to him.

Li Lingfeng quickly hugged his fist and replied, "Thank you, General! How dare you be dissatisfied!"

Xiao Tianjian smiled and nodded and said, "I have long known that you are good at kung fu and can read. He is a person who is good at literature and martial arts. The reason why you are trained in the new barracks is to sharpen your temper. I don't mean to suppress you. I hope you can understand!

There are rules for Xing Tianjun's reward and punishment. It is very unfair for others to be promoted to you without merit! It's not just aimed at you, everyone is the same. Only in this way can we convince the public!

You earned this by yourself today! So you don't have to thank me for anything. Do it well. With your ability, it is not difficult to get the team generals! It depends on your ability!"

Li Lingfeng sighed in his heart. To be honest, he was not happy during this period. He thought he was good at kung fu. With his ability, he could at least be a leader in another place, but Xiao Tianjian still let him polish it in the new barracks. The last time he questioned Xiao Tianjian's method of training. As a result, after martial arts, he After a great defeat, he had to accept the defeat and honestly returned to the new barracks and start from scratch.

This time, from the selection personnel of the new barracks to the soldiers, Li Lingfeng was the first to be selected, and he was directly selected into Shi Ran's scout team. The day before yesterday, he had just been promoted to the commander, and his heart was still somewhat unbalanced.

Today, he also watched the competition between Luo Li and the mountain tiger outside. He has been observing the match between the two. From the beginning, he could see that the mountain tiger was probably not Luo Li's opponent. When the mountain tiger fell to the ground, he noticed the expression of the mountain tiger, so he wasware of him. If he really guessed it well, this When the mountain tiger was angry, he brazenly drew a knife and wanted to attack and kill Luo Li, so he took action at the most critical moment and knocked over the mountain tiger with a stick, which saved Luo Li's life.

After listening to Xiao Tianjian's words, he had nothing to say. Xing Tianjun did things fairly. Even if he couldn't do absolute fairness, it was much better than anywhere he knew. Even his identity as the palm plate of Xing Tianjun, he queued up to eat like his subordinates every day. , never do anything special because of selfishness. It's the same with other officers. The big guys can eat whatever they have. As long as they can give it to the people below, Xiao Tianjian is never stingy, so the food level here has so far made everyone very satisfied.

Another obvious example is that among the brothers who initially followed Xiao Tianjian, some became sentry generals and some became team generals, but there are also people who are soldiers at the bottom. However, all those who are promoted are gradually promoted because of merit, and there is no nepotism at all. He believes that this is very I can't do it in many places!

And there is another one thing about the Xing Tianjun, that is, the relationship between officers and soldiers. Although Xiao Tianjian is extremely strict, he can achieve clear rewards and punishments, and Xiao Tianjian is also very strict with the officers. No one is allowed to abuse his subordinates without authorization, and asks the officers to do it. The strict care does not lose love, which makes him feel very comfortable to stay here, so he has nothing to complain about.

And Xiao Tianjian is right. Since he is a person of ability, why worry that he can't rise up? Today is a good example. As long as he is willing to do it, is he afraid that he will always be a big leader?

"Thank you, General, I understand! The little one will never live up to the general's expectations!" Li Lingfeng replied loudly.

Not long after, Luo Li followed Li Lingfeng out of the Juyi Hall, grinned and took Li Lingfeng's arm, laughing loudly: "Have fun! What a pleasure today! The men surnamed Gao actually looked down on us, which made them know how powerful we are! Brother Li, I, Luo Li, owe you a life today. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely return your favor! Let's not talk about anything else. This time, I got two hundred taels of silver for the king and two hundred taels of silver for the big master. I don't want it. The big master rewarded me with a few jars of good wine. Not to mention anything else, I'll treat you tonight. Let's have a good drink..."

Xing Tianjun is very strict. Usually, as long as he is fine, Xiao Tianjian rarely allows the soldiers to drink in private, but today is different. Although he and Gao Yingxiang are very unhappy today, because of the performance of Luo Li and Li Lingfeng, he has won a lot of face for Xing Tianjun, which makes Xing Tianjun very face. So he simply rewarded Luo Li with a few jars of wine and asked him to find someone to drink in private, as long as he didn't make trouble because of drinking, it was nothing.

While Xing Tianjun was happy, in Gao Yingxiang's camp outside the stockade, it was another scene. In Gao Yingxiang's big tent, the mountain tiger lay on the ground, and his buttocks and thighs were beaten with flesh and blood by military sticks, and he was almost interrupted.

Gao Yingxiang's face was pale. He sat in the big chair in the middle and looked coldly at the mountain tiger lying not far in front of him. Seeing that the mountain tiger had recovered by now, he snorted angrily and said angrily, "The mountain tiger! Let me ask you. Have you ever known Xiao Tianjian before?

The mountain tiger lay on the ground and shook its head and said, "Go back to the king's words! I don't know! I haven't seen him before!"

"Fit! Since you don't know Xiao Tianjian, and you know that Xiao Tianjian generously gave us so many materials, this is a help in the snow, do you know? And why don't you know how many times you refute his face and are against him? As far as I know, you were not this kind of person before. What is it for this time? Tell me the truth!" Gao Yingxiang patted the armrest of the chair angrily and asked the tiger angrily.

The mountain tiger lay on the ground and grinned. His face was about to go out of shape. He pressed his hands on the ground, slightly propped up his upper body, gritted his teeth and looked at Gao Yingxiang and said to him, "King of Breaking! Although I don't know Xiao Tianjian, I have a big grudge against him! I don't know what the king of adventures. When I followed the king of adventures, there was a cousin who also followed you! When the king led us through here and went to Shanxi, my cousin stayed here because he was sick!

In the past two years, there has been a break between me and my cousin. This time when I came back here, as soon as I entered the boundary of Fengxiang Mansion, my subordinates sent people around to inquire about him. However, it was not until I came to Yanyang yesterday that my subordinates learned from the population that my cousin had been killed! And the person who killed him was exactly this surnamed Xiao!

You should know that my parents have died since I was a child. Later, I was able to survive and grow up. It was all because of my aunt's residence that I lived my life. Later, after the drought, my aunt and uncle starved to death, leaving only me and my cousin. Although my cousin is not a tool and a little idle, it is also my aunt's. I'm alone!

I heard that my cousin stayed here. After he recovered from his illness, he also pulled up a pole. I didn't know why he offended the man surnamed Xiao. He was beaten to the door by the man surnamed Xiao, killed my cousin, copied his old nest and swallowed his men, and cut off his head hanging on the mountain gate to show the public! How can you not avenge such a great revenge? So today, as soon as I saw the Xiao, my subordinates were not angry, but when he showed his goodwill to the king, my subordinates still suppressed their anger and did not immediately turn against him and seek revenge on him!

But that man didn't give face to the king at all, and let his subordinates do so... Today, his subordinates are incompetent and lose face to the king. Please punish him! I have no complaints!"

After hearing this, Gao Yingxiang slowly leaned on the back of the chair behind him and frowned. Only now did he understand why the mountain tiger was so rude to Xiao Tianjian and had to fight against Xiao Tianjian everywhere! It turns out that there is such a hatred between them.

However, he is also an understanding person. After all, he has also started from an early age. Like between poles, this kind of mutual annexation can be said to be a very common thing. Xiao Tianjian can rise rapidly in the area of Yanyang in a short time. It is impossible to say that he has not annexed a few peers, but how can he kill Zhang Daban? Where's your cousin? It's really unfortunate!

If the mountain tiger wants to say it, it can't be wrong. No one can be happy if his relative is killed. It seems that there is indeed a cause for him to fight against Xiao Tianjian everywhere today.

Today, he can be said to be very embarrassed because of this matter. Because of the uproar of the mountain tiger, he not only failed to deter Xing Tianjun, but also made Xing Tianjun's morale soar. He was not ready to just forget about this matter.

At present, he still hopes to pull Xing Tianjun to his men. After all, he has just lost a lot of elite soldiers in the carriage gorge. Although his troops have recovered at present, many of them are exiles who have just been taken in. There is no combat effectiveness at all, and the soldiers of Xing Tianjun have obviously experienced it. There have been several battles, and the training seems to be quite sufficient. Compared with the thousands of soldiers under his command, it doesn't seem to be much worse. If he can recruit Xing Tianjun under his command, his strength will immediately increase a lot. However, after today's trouble, it is difficult for Xiao to agree to follow him. It's over.

After thinking of this, Gao Yingxiang had a headache. He had the intention to kill the mountain tiger. He used his head to show his goodwill to Xiao Tianjian and make up for the rift between them. But on second thought, it didn't work. The mountain tiger has been following him for so many years. It can be said that he is loyal. He has been fighting with officers and soldiers all the front. When he is brave, he can be said to have countless injuries. For such a loyal subordinate, he can't kill him to show his goodwill to an outsider. If he does that, it will definitely make his men feel cold. I'm afraid it will be difficult to let his men work for him in the future.

So simply turn against Xiao Tianjian, take advantage of Xiao Tianjian to come to the camp for a banquet tomorrow, take the opportunity to kill Xiao Tianjian, and then forcibly take his soldiers into the gang? Gao Yingxiang suddenly thought of it.

But then he immediately gave up the idea. It was not that he did not dare to do so, but that he could not do it. He thought that Gao Yingxiang had accumulated such a reputation among all kinds of rebels from the beginning to now. It was not because he gained such a reputation with chivalry and benevolence. This time, Xiao Tianjianming He took the initiative to show his goodwill to him and give him supplies and soldiers. He was not grateful, but also took the opportunity to kill him. Once the news spread, then the reputation he had accumulated in Gao Yingxiang's life would be completely finished! Can you expect someone to turn to him in the future? It is estimated that as long as someone has some ability, he will quickly take a detour as soon as he hears his name, so no matter how Xiao Tianjian refutes his face this time, he can't turn against him and kill him!

It doesn't work, which really gives Gao Yingxiang a headache! After thinking about it for a while, he finally made up his mind.

"So that's it! But today's matter is still not yours. Your grudges are your business. What's more, Xiao Tianjian killed your cousin. There may be other reasons! And you don't care about the overall situation at all, making things so far that we are ashamed! You should know that Xiao Tianjian took the initiative to give us a large number of supplies this time. As my subordinate, you treat him like this, which must make him and his subordinates unhappy!

You should know that we now need more people like them to enrich our strength and work with the government! Such a disturbance, but it seems that my subordinates are not strict, and my men are arrogant and rude! It's also for this reason that I hit you today. Do you have any complaints?" Gao Yingxiang took a deep breath, looked down at the mountain tiger lying on the ground and said to him, but his tone softened a lot.

The mountain tiger is actually not a stupid person. Today, it was only because he suddenly heard such news and was confused by hatred, so that he did something that made Gao Yingxiang not get off the stage. Moreover, he lay on the ground and had been carefully observing Gao Yingxiang's expression. Seeing Gao Yingxiang's eyes flashing just now, his hands couldn't help but He pinched his fist independently and guessed that Gao Yingxiang had a murderous intention for him just now. Thinking about Gao Yingxiang's situation now, Gao Yingxiang actually showed that he wanted to win this Xiao Tianjian into the group today, but he had ruined his big event. Thinking about it, since his second team leader died, there has been no one to take photos. Gu, although he has won the trust of Gao Yingxiang because of his bravery in the past two years, there are less than 200 people left under his men after the battle in the carriage gorge. Compared with two hundred and two thousand, of course he knows which is more important.

Gao Yingxiang killed him and used his head to show his goodwill to Xiao in exchange for Xiao to follow him. Therefore, thinking of this, the mountain tiger suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and knew that this matter was going on today. If Gao Yingxiang didn't miss his old love with him over the years, then Even if he is alive to the end.

After figured this out, the mountain tiger no longer dared to go down. He quickly gritted his teeth and lay on the ground and kowtowed to Gao Yingxiang, "The king hit me. I have nothing to say. Today's thing is indeed too much done! I also hope that Wang Nian will follow you to death in the face of his subordinates over the years, and spare him this time! I don't dare to be young anymore!"

Gao Yingxiang saw that Zhang Dapan had admitted his mistake, so he waved his hand and said, "Since you know the mistake, it's good! ......”
