Although Fang Huatian didn't know what his son was doing, he could tell from the letters that the boy was sincere in his words, so he tried his best to cover it up, thinking that his son had figured it out and wanted to do something great.
Everyone in Panlong Village was feeling a little uncomfortable. Military Advisor Xue Qi's plans were repeatedly obstructed. Not only did the brothers they sent out fail to complete the task of expanding the recruitment, they even suffered casualties there.
Xue Qi was not stupid, he immediately sent people to investigate secretly, and finally, he found something suspicious. All the talents they had their eyes on ended up in Qingping County. He suddenly thought of the Qingping County Magistrate mentioned by Song Yunfan.
Xue Qi had a vague feeling that this person would definitely be their opponent, so it seemed that he had to ask the spies in Qingping County to investigate further.
But soon after, something happened in the village.
As a bandit camp of considerable size, there were naturally factions and frictions. However, due to the suppression of big leaders like Xiao Tianhu, the frictions were concentrated within a controllable range.
But this time was different. First, the water ghost Li Jin's brother Li Fei had a big quarrel with the infantry leader Zhang Da Kui, and they almost came to blows. On the night of the fight, Li Fei was beheaded.
Li Jin exploded immediately and brought his men to fight with Zhang Da Kui. Fortunately, Song Yunfan arrived in time and stopped the situation from getting worse. Xiao Tianhu reprimanded Li Jin on the spot for doubting his own brothers and dismissed him from his position. Li Jin was furious and packed up his bags to leave the stronghold. Song Yunfan used his expertise and found Li Jin in private to lobby. Li Jin was so moved by his "heartfelt words" that he knelt down and worshipped Song Yunfan as his brother.
Just as this matter was coming to an end, problems arose again in the gang outside Panlong Village. Because of the uneven distribution of spoils, the two leaders who were originally in charge had a dispute. One of them killed the other and then escaped with some people.
Xiao Tianhu was in a state of panic. He couldn't understand why the village had been so restless recently, his plans thwarted, his income reduced, and now even brothers were turning against each other. There were also some rumors in the village, and people were uneasy.
It was at this time that a Taoist priest came up the mountain. Xiao Tianhu thought that the other party was just a wandering Taoist priest. Although they were bandits, they would still show leniency to wandering monks and Taoist priests, so he prepared to give the Taoist priest some money to send him away.
The Taoist took the silver and turned around to give Xiao Tianhu a word.
"I have observed the celestial phenomena and see that a disaster has descended upon your region. The road ahead is dark and gloomy. The great leader needs to be on high alert."
The Taoist priest just left like that. Xiao Tianhu was stunned. Thinking of the rumors he had heard recently, he couldn't help but frowned.
Soon after, someone came to tell them that a stolen goods sales base outside their area had been seized by soldiers.
Xiao Tianhu slammed the table and was about to start scolding when he saw the military advisor and Song Yunfan rushing over. The moment he saw Song Yunfan, Xiao Tianhu's face turned dark.
That's right, ever since this guy came here, there's been no peace in the village! There are even rumors that Song Yunfan is secretly trying to win over other leaders with the intention of starting his own faction.
Xiao Tianhu looked at Song Yunfan's face, and his doubts grew stronger and stronger.
In Qingping County, Fang Zhiyi met with the bandits who came to surrender. Wang Jia was dejected. If he had known earlier, he would not have gambled with the master. He would have lost all his salary this month.
He also didn't understand why the master would attack Panlong Village. He knew this group of strong men and they were very powerful. Wasn't the master afraid of getting into trouble?
Of course he didn't know that when it came to using tricks, even ten Xue Qis were no match for Fang Zhiyi. He had many opponents in the past who were stronger than Xue Qi, not to mention that he had the script in his hand!
First, he rushed to recruit talented people. Then, he used his father's name to ask for resources from the surrounding counties. He didn't ask for too much at once, but only bit by bit. They dared not refuse. Then, in addition to vigorously developing Qingping County, he spent money. Maybe he became a leader for the sake of loyalty, but what about the minions below? Can loyalty be eaten?
