The words of Mr. Li, the chief of the Dai tribe, immediately ignited the atmosphere at the scene.

Immediately someone stood up and responded.

"That's right. I support Mr. Li. We have all gathered here this time. As the Han people say, the arrow is on the string and must be shot. There is no reason to give up halfway."

"We have been planning this for so long, it would be a shame to waste all our efforts."

Under Mr. Li's gaze, another person also stood up.

"If we succeed, everyone present here will be a great contributor to Annan. The King of Annan will thank us greatly and grant us more land, power, and wealth. You can get everything you want."

"I will definitely give my full support to Mr. Li."

Naturally, Old Li had been planning such a parliament for a long time, and many of the chieftains present had secretly defected to Old Li.

Therefore, the situation will never get out of control.

As more and more people stood up, fewer and fewer people were left without speaking.

Until the end, only three people did not express their opinions, but just confronted in silence.

Among them was the Dai chieftain noble who had previously opposed Mr. Li.

And these three people are obviously from the same Dai ethnic group.

Elder Li looked at the three of them, and had no intention of forcing them. He just said calmly: "This plan is very important. According to estimates, the Ming Emperor's troops will arrive at our ambush in about ten days."

"To prevent the news from leaking out and ruining the plan, I have issued a strict order to patrol the area day and night for twelve hours. No one is allowed to go out until the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty arrives."

"I think the three of you won't have any objections."

The three Dai chieftains looked at each other and understood that they were almost being held hostage. No matter whether they agreed or not, there was no way for them to get out of the jungle.

"Everything will be subject to Mr. Li's arrangements."

In the end, the three of them could only agree helplessly.

Given the current situation, they finally realized that they had boarded the pirate ship of Mr. Li from the Dai tribe.

In other words, the matter was already settled from the moment I joined this parliament.

Sure enough, ginger is still spicy when it is old.

…

Lan Quanzhi frowned and looked at the closely patrolled team, feeling somewhat anxious.

He has been lurking in Annan for seven years.

In seven years, he has married, had children, started his own family, and successfully become a member of the Dai tribe.

But no one knew that seven years ago he was a spy arranged by Zhao Yuanhong in Annan for the plan of the former owner of the Qun Ying Chamber of Commerce.

There are roughly hundreds of people like him who have lurked in Annan, infiltrating the various chieftain tribes in the most low-level way.

Until the day Zhu Ying became the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, only a few people revealed their identities.

And there are more people like Lan Quanzhi who continue to lurk.

Even after Zhao Yuanhong left Annan, they did not choose to leave.

In fact, most of the time they do this voluntarily.

When Hu Jima fell and the Ming Dynasty took control of the court, someone contacted them to ask whether they were willing to enter the officialdom or hold other official positions.

Some people choose to give up, restore their true identities and obtain official positions, while others, like Lan Quanzhi, have greater ambitions.

Because according to the latest regulations, if undercover personnel like Lan Quanzhi have not made any contributions, they will only be awarded merits according to the number of years they have been undercover.

The merits are very low, so there is no chance of getting a good position, and it is unrealistic to reach the top overnight.

And if one can make great contributions, even a hereditary title is not a fantasy.

Obviously, Lan Quanzhi had been waiting for this opportunity.

However, Mr. Li from the Dai tribe was very cautious and kept the news from leaking out, which left Lan Quanzhi with no chance to pass on the information.

"I have to think of a way. Otherwise, if I miss this opportunity, I will only be a lowly clerk."

What about doing things for the Emperor of Ming Dynasty and for the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty? Lan Quanzhi is really not that great.

In this world, if you want to stand out, it’s not as if you can just work hard and you’ll have a chance.

It requires more opportunity, otherwise there will be no chance of promotion.

Secondly, Lan Quanzhi was not worried about the safety of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, because he knew that the outside world had basically known about this plan, and the troops might have been prepared.

After all, there were quite a few people arranged by Military Advisor Zhao at the beginning.

In addition to those who are lurking, there are also those who are bribed with money and those who are instigated to rebel.

He is just a minor character.

"I have to give it a try. Maybe I should talk to Li Zhong."

Lan Quanzhi looked at the sky which was gradually getting darker and began to ponder.

He is also a member of the patrol team, but there are a total of five people in each team. While patrolling, they are also supervising and restricting each other.

Li Zhong is a member of the Dai tribe, but Lan Quanzhi knows that Li Zhong hates the tribe leader's family very much.

Because the person Li Zhong once loved the most was forcibly taken away by the clan leader's seventh son.

After thinking about it, Lan Quanzhi picked up a bottle of wine and went to where Li Zhong lived.

In fact, Li Zhong's family has a relatively high status in the Dai tribe. He has several brothers and lives a decent life.

Li Zhong never mentioned to anyone the fact that the person he loved most was being taken away from him.

Lan Quanzhi heard this from the clan leader's ninth son when he was serving drinks.

Bang bang bang.

As the door knocked, footsteps were heard inside the room.

The door opened, and Li Zhong asked in confusion, "We are not on patrol tonight, are we?"

Lan Quanzhi raised the wine in his hand and said with a smile: "I came here specially to have a couple of drinks with you."

Li Zhong frowned slightly, because his relationship with Lan Quanzhi was not good, but certainly not bad either, and their friendship was shallow.

Lan Quanzhi is an outsider and has no status in the clan. Theoretically, he is not qualified to drink with him.

Since he had nothing to do and couldn't go home recently, Li Zhong made way and said, "Okay, come in."

Lan Quanzhi followed him in.

The house is not big, but it is spacious enough for one person. After all, it is just a temporary residence.

Like Lan Quanzhi, there were several people crowded in one house.

"Brother Lan, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly. There's no need to beat around the bush. I don't have a say in the tribe. If I can help you, I'll do my best."

The wine was filled, Li Zhong took a sip, and immediately felt a little unhappy.

Because this wine is obviously cheap and inferior.

Li Zhong still had some dignity after all, so how could he drink such inferior wine? So when he spoke, it seemed like he was trying to drive the guest away.

"I don't know Brother Li, but I know Xiaofei." Lan Quanzhi said.

When Li Zhong heard the name Xiao Fei, his face changed. He immediately stood up, stared at Lan Quanzhi fiercely, pointed at the door and said, "Get out."

Lan Quanzhi shook his head gently: "I am here to help you get revenge, you have to think it through. If I leave this door, you will never have another chance for revenge."

Hearing this, Li Zhong paused and asked, "What do you know?"

Lan Quanzhi picked up the wine jug and filled Li Zhong's bowl, then said, "Sit down and talk."

Although Li Zhong was somewhat reluctant, he still sat down.

Lan Quanzhi then said, "A few days ago, I was working as a waiter for Li Shangxiang. I heard them talking about Xiaofei's affairs, and I knew the general situation. That's why I came to see you today."

"I just want to know if you have any thoughts of revenge."

Hearing this, Li Zhong no longer concealed it and said in a low voice: "I dream of killing that beast."

"Not only did he defile Xiaofei, he also killed our child."

In an instant, Li Zhong's eyes were already bloodshot.

It turns out that Li Zhong and Xiao Fei have been secretly together for a long time, and she is not even pregnant.

But what he didn't expect was that when the patriarch's seven sons were drunk, they not only committed the violation, but also, fearing that they would be exposed, committed murder.

The matter was soon exposed, but was suppressed by the clan leader, Mr. Li.

The problem was solved by a little girl paying some money, and Xiaofei's parents happily accepted it.

Only Li Zhong felt unhappy.

"Now that things have come to this, I won't hide it from you. You know, for people like us, we have been living in the dirt all our lives. It is extremely difficult to change."

"But now, there is an opportunity in front of you. If you can succeed, you will definitely have wealth and glory in the future."

"We are both on the same patrol team. As long as you and I join forces, we can definitely take this opportunity to report this matter to the authorities."

"You will know how to reward people based on their merits when the time comes. And since the clan leader and his family are the main culprits, no one will survive."

"This way you will not only get your revenge, but also achieve great success. Wouldn't your life be happy in the future?"

Lan Quanzi patiently and kindly advised.

Li Zhong was shocked.

"You actually want to..."

In the end, he didn't dare to say it out loud. As soon as he opened his mouth, he immediately stood up and went to the door.

He looked at the situation outside through the gap, then turned around and walked back.

"Do you know what the consequences of this are?" Li Zhong lowered his voice a few notches.

He didn't expect Lan Quanzhi to be so bold as to think of going out and telling on others.

"What are you afraid of? You have already made contributions, so why worry about that? This involves the safety of the Ming Emperor. Not only money, but even an official position can be obtained."

"Now that we have money, why do we need to live in such a place? Are you just thinking about those few acres of good farmland?"

"Why not move to the capital of the Ming Dynasty? The prosperity there is beyond your imagination."

Lan Quan said indifferently.

It seems that informing on others is not a big deal at all.

In his words, he deliberately omitted the consequences that these conspirators would face after reporting the incident.

"No, no, too many people will die." Li Zhong thought about it and finally chose to shake his head and refuse.

As a member of the Li clan of the Taiyi people, Li Zhong knew some secret information.

I also understand how terrible the consequences would be if this matter were exposed.

Such informing would definitely arouse the wrath of the government, and many people would die, without even having time to escape.

"If you don't tell on others, won't someone die?"

"The clan leader is using us. Believe it or not, he has already arranged a way out, but he didn't tell you."

"Whether the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is dead or alive, there will definitely be a large army encirclement and suppression this time. We are just a shield for the clan leader and his men. He wants to gain benefits by stepping on our corpses."

At this point, Lan Quanzhi said again in a sinister tone: "Even if you don't want to avenge Xiaofei, what about Xiaojie? Do you want to watch Xiaojie fall into the hands of those beasts?"

Li Zhong looked incredulous: "How...how did you know?"

Xiaojie is Xiaofei's younger sister, and looks somewhat similar to Xiaofei.

Men are all pigs.

Lan Quanzhi actually didn’t know that Li Zhong had feelings for Xiao Jie. After all, the girl was only twelve years old.

He was just bluffing, but he didn't expect it to work.

"As long as you cooperate with me, not only can you avenge Xiao Fei and vent your anger, but you can also take Xiao Jie away without any constraints."

"Originally, you and I are just abandoned children of the clan leader. Why should we die for him?"

Lan Quanzhi's words made Li Zhong hesitate.

In fact, Lan Quanzhi was wrong about one thing. Li Zhong was not a discarded pawn.

The clan leader, Mr. Li, did make some arrangements, and Li Zhong would also be one of those who would evacuate when the time came.

No matter what, Li Zhong is of the Li surname and is in the family tree.

But these are not very important to Li Zhong now.

"Okay, I promise you, tell me what to do."

Li Zhong picked up the wine glass and drank it all. At this time, the bad wine seemed to have turned into good wine, and a sense of heroism burst out from his heart.

Lan Quanzhi told us his plan.

"We should do this as soon as possible. Tomorrow night, you and I will patrol and work together to deal with the other three people. Then we will run away together."

"Don't worry, I have a way here. I can pass the news directly. Then everything will become much simpler. All we have to do is wait quietly."

Hearing this, Li Zhong looked at Lan Quanzhi deeply and nodded, "Okay, I'll follow your arrangements."

He now remembered what his tribesmen had once said, that none of these outsiders could be trusted.

At that time, he thought it was nothing, they were just some poor wandering people.

Now looking at it this way, we can tell that there must be something wrong with Lan Quanzhi.

Because most people have nowhere to go if they want to report something, and since Lan Quanzhi spoke so confidently, he must be the one with the problem.

Only now, Li Zhong has figured it out.

No poison, no hero.

If he could really gain wealth and glory, what would it matter if he betrayed his people? He already hated these people anyway.

He wanted to marry Xiaojie, but was opposed by the tribe members.

Everyone knew that those who opposed were looking at the intentions of the patriarch's son.

It’s better to die, and it’s best if everyone dies.

Hatred and greed filled Li Zhong's eyes, and seeing this expression, Lan Quanzhi felt relieved.

The hands that had been casually placed at the waist slowly relaxed.

"Brother Lan, you..."

At this moment, Li Zhong suddenly felt dizzy.

Clearly, the problem was the wine.

Lan Quanzhi smiled and said, "Brother Li, I am doing this for safety reasons. I am afraid that you will not agree and will sell me out."

"Don't worry, there are no other problems. Get some good sleep and we'll do it together tomorrow."

People like Lan Quanzhi have naturally been trained by Zhao Yuanhong.

Although it doesn't mean my identity is exposed, but if Li Zhong disagrees, it will be no different from being exposed. Naturally, I have to be on guard.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly.
