In the simple meeting room in the mountain stronghold, Xiao Feng's current makeshift team gathered.
Xiao Feng sat at the top, Wei Xian, who looked sick, sat at the lower right, while Xia Feng, Wang Shu, Yu Liang, Li Mazi, and Li Dazhuang sat at the bottom.
What is being discussed now is the matter of Li Yanfeng, the second son of the governor's mansion, contacting the stronghold through Deputy Captain Gao.
Li Dazhuang has been learning to read and write in addition to training recently. Xia Feng and Bai Zhu have recently taught more than one illiterate man, which is also what Wan Jinlan requested.
As a soldier, the lower-level soldiers can be illiterate and only need to follow orders, but to become a general, this is not the case. They have few loyal men available, so they naturally need to train a few.
In a conference room, rough guys like Li Dazhuang and Li Mazi mostly kept silent and just listened attentively, for they were afraid that what they said would embarrass themselves.
Whenever Xia Feng was thinking, he would gently pinch his chin. At this moment, he narrowed his eyes slightly, pinched his chin and said, "In my opinion, Deputy Captain Gao cannot be killed now."
Xia Feng glanced at Yu Liang, "Uncle Yu, what do you say?"
The two of them went to Xiliu County together. After a round trip, they knew each other quite well. Xia Feng was already aware of the relationship between Yu Liang and Deputy Captain Gao. Yu Liang also knew that Xiao Feng's identity was not ordinary and was thinking of following Xiao Feng wholeheartedly.
Yu Liang shook his head and said, "He has allowed horse bandits to wreak havoc on the village for years. It's time for him to pay the price."
It's not that he doesn't have a fatherly heart. When he was a son-in-law in the Gao family, the two children were not very close to him. After so many years, he had children of his own, and he knew what kind of person Deputy Captain Gao was. There were many people in the surrounding villages who were harmed by horse bandits, so it was difficult for him to have a fatherly heart towards him.
Wang Shu said, "If Second Young Master Li asked Kaohsiung to arrange a meeting between the Dong family and Second Young Master Li, this matter is of great importance, and Kaohsiung might even come to the village in person to meet him."
Once Kaohsiung arrived, the changes in the situation inside the village could no longer be concealed.
Xiao Feng nodded, it was very likely that Kaohsiung came to the mountain village in person to look for someone.
He had already made up his mind about the matter and had a solution, and he had also determined that Kaohsiung would definitely die.
Gathering everyone together to discuss is also to take everyone into consideration.
Xia Feng pondered for a moment and said, "If Kaohsiung wants to come, welcome him in directly. Have most of the people in the village stay indoors and block the passage to the back mountain. No one is allowed to cook or light fires in the back mountain during this period. We can't let him find out the situation in the village."
Xiao Feng nodded calmly: "And then?"
Xia Feng said, "Have Kaohsiung tell Mr. Li Er that we know the whereabouts of the military pay and Peng Lin."
The matter is of great importance, Kaohsiung would never dare to take action against them at this time.
"As long as we establish a connection with Li Yanfeng, Kaohsiung will no longer be a threat in the future. It would be best for the boss to take this opportunity to bring some of the brothers in the stronghold into the army and serve under the Second Young Master Li."
The identity of a horse bandit is not useful after all. Joining the army and relying on Mr. Li Er to wait for an opportunity to seize military power is a good way out.
Xiao Feng looked at Xia Feng deeply; most of his thoughts coincided with his.
Li Dazhuang scratched his head. "If the boss works for Mr. Li Er in the future, then we will all be his people?"
Li Mazi punched him in frustration, "I've never seen anyone as stupid as you. Remember, your boss is always your boss."
Although the boss's face was painted black and he looked like a man in his thirties, he and his wife had a demeanor that Li Mazi had never seen before. He didn't believe that the boss had planned so much just to be someone else's younger brother.
Wei Xian looked at Li Dazhuang and shook his head. This man was not really that smart, but being honest was a rare quality.
Li Dazhuang knew he had made a fool of himself again, and said with a blushing face: "Of course I only recognize the boss and the wife, but I just don't understand what we are going to do in the future."
Xiao Feng laughed and planned to give the honest and obedient Li Dazhuang to Wan Jinlan as an assistant in the future.
After the arrangements were made, half an hour later, the brothers who were patrolling and looking out on the mountain stronghold came to report that two people had come down the mountain, one of whom was Ge Li, whom they all recognized.
Deputy Captain Gao did not want to enter the mountain stronghold, so he stopped at a hidden slope outside the stronghold and asked Ge Li to go in and call out the two leaders.
Xiao Feng and Xia Feng stood on a high place and looked down, and saw Ge Li coming up alone.
Xia Feng chuckled, "It seems that Kaohsiung and his biological father don't have a very good relationship."
Ge Li was brought directly to Xiao Feng. Seeing so many strangers, he looked surprised.
The leader was tall, with a dark complexion, and looked to be in his thirties. When his sharp eyes locked onto him, Ge Li shuddered unconsciously.
"Who are you?"
Xiao Feng stood with his hands behind his back and said, "Go tell Kaohsiung that I know the whereabouts of Peng Lin and the military pay, but I want to talk to the master behind him."
Ge Li clenched his fist to encourage himself, his face fierce, "Where are Master Fu and Master Song?"
Li Mazi sneered, "Of course he's going to where he should go."
When Ge Li saw many burly men surrounding him, his momentum weakened a little. His whole body tensed up and he looked at everyone vigilantly.
Xiao Feng raised his head slightly, and the brothers made way for Ge Li.
Ge Li walked down the mountain stronghold with shaking legs and came to the presence of Deputy Captain Gao.
"Boss, the leader of the stronghold has changed. Both Fu and Song are probably dead. That person said he knows the whereabouts of Peng Lin and the military pay, and he wants to meet with the master behind you."
It took Lieutenant Gao a while to realize what Ge Li was saying, and he suddenly looked up at the top of the stronghold.
His father had died. To be honest, Kaohsiung wasn't really sad at all. Now he was just shocked! Shocked that he had no idea what was going on in the village. Shocked that someone had the audacity to take Kaohsiung's treasure chest!
The veins on the back of Kaohsiung's hand bulged, and he raised his leg to go into the village to find out what was going on.
Ge Li hurriedly pulled the man back and said, "Boss, you can't do that. The horse bandits are fierce and powerful in numbers."
Kaohsiung waved him away with a sullen face, "What are you afraid of? They're still counting on me to meet the Second Young Master."
Although Kaohsiung said this, he didn't actually enter the stronghold. After thinking for a while, he said, "Go up again and tell the leader of the stronghold to meet you at the Sixi Restaurant in town at 3:15 PM."
Ge Li said gruffly, "Boss, is that all?"
The horse bandits in Gu'a Town were originally there to make money for them. Now that they have been wiped out and the situation has changed, how can they just let it go?
Lieutenant Gao felt more aggrieved than anyone else, but what could he do now?
Qingyuan County is the territory of the eldest son. If he makes a fuss and reveals that he has already joined the second son, what future will he have? Neither the eldest son nor the second son will forgive him.
He kicked Ge Li in the abdomen and said, "You useless bastard! Last time I asked you to deliver a message, didn't you have eyes? Can't you see the changes in the village?"
He said that with the brains of Fu Dangjia and Song Dangjia, there was no way they could drag Mangshan into the water!
Ge Li held his stomach in pain and looked grim as he watched Lieutenant Gao get on his horse and whip it to ride away.
Ge Li went up the mountain again to pass on the message, but he didn't dare to eat, drink or take things as before, so he left the stronghold directly.
Everything was as expected, and Xiao Feng felt calm.
"Li Mazi, you must bring your brothers with you this time."
Li Mazi was shocked and said, "Yes!"
"Xia Feng, if you go this time, I will expose your identity as a descendant of the Xia family in Qingzhou. In the future, you can show off your wisdom in front of Li Yanfeng."
Xia Feng thought for a moment and smiled.
The King of Qi wanted to send him to Li Yanfeng to serve as his aide and as an insider. This move was very quick!
