There's a Madman Sharpening His Knife at Night

Lu Hu and Pei Yuan, under the continuous toasting of the crowd, had breakfast until the afternoon, and then finally dealt with all the bandits in the town.

During this period, some people offered one bowl, and some offered three bowls. Both of them were willing to accept the bowls and drank. I don’t know how many bowls they drank during this period. And Pei Yuan also drank so much that he finally had it. Drunk.

After everyone left, Che Luhu held Lu Hu's hand and talked incessantly.

Lu Hu didn't feel annoyed, so he smiled and catered to Pei Yuan, listening to Pei Yuan pouring out his bitterness.

During this period of time, Pei Yuan encountered a lot of problems when handling help in Dingbeicheng. A large number of people from the Taiping Gang were following behind, which was a lot of mouths that wanted to eat.

But there are only so many resources at the moment. If you eat two more here, you will lose two bites there. How to balance it is a big trouble, and you can't starve people. Once they are hungry, Lu Hu is now ruthless. The image of the person is pressed on it, and they don't dare to pounce on it and bite the flesh and blood, but some greedy people who want to enrich their own pockets are indispensable.

Lu Hu was also summarizing the current problems of the Taiping Gang from the bitter experience of Pei Yuan.

From what I hear, most of them are superficial. The real core problem is actually one. The Taiping Gang has developed too fast and too fast, and now it is almost over the edge.

For gang positions in the city, more and more resources can be mobilized, and there are too few trustworthy people. Currently, there are only Li Er and Su Qingqing, but these two are too weak in their own strength. Now they are all appointed by Lu Hu forcibly. Yes, if you support him any higher, it will be difficult to convince the public, and it will also go against Lu Hu's previous general policy of corresponding status according to his martial arts strength.

For this reason, Pei Yuan cannot let go of the power in his hands. Although it feels good to have power, the price is that all kinds of things will eventually come to him and ask him to make a decision!

He was so busy that he was exhausted.

Lu Hu summarized the problem and already had a plan in mind. But now that Pei Yuan was drunk, it was not the time to talk about this. Lu Hu forcibly helped Pei Yuan up from his seat.

Pei Yuan was still shouting to himself, "Brother, drink for a while longer, I'm not drunk yet!"

"Okay, okay, you're not drunk."

Lu Hu helped Pei Yuan downstairs. The people below had dispersed. Among the dishes and cups, the shopkeeper was arranging for people to clean up. When he saw the two of them coming downstairs, he hurriedly greeted them.

"Have you prepared a room for my good brother?"

"It's already turned on. It's just opposite the gang leader's room. Hot water is also ready. Do you want me to help the deputy gang leader up?"

"No need, you can't help me. All expenses will be reimbursed to Feng Lie. Do you understand?"

"Gang leader, this is a small tribute to you. How can I accept this money?"

"Do as I say!"

Lu Hu directly supported Pei Yuan and went to the room.

The shopkeeper is left standing behind like a mourning heir. If the money is not spent, won't he have to deal with official business in the future and draw money as usual? There is no mercy left?

"You've done a good job these days. When you ask Feng Lie for money, ask him to save your shop a month!"

After Lu Hu's voice came from the front, the expression on the shopkeeper's face only relaxed to a certain extent. After serving for a few days, he was exempted from paying for a month. This business was indeed profitable, but it was not what he wanted. What he wanted It is possible to adjust the pumping ratio downward.

Lu Hu carried Pei Yuan to the room, and soon a waiter came up with hot water. Pour hot water into the barrel.

Lu Hu pushed his hand to the table and poured him a cup of tea. "Drink the tea, take a hot bath, and then go to bed early. Come find me in my room tomorrow morning!"

After that, Lu Hu left the room, went downstairs, and went to convene a meeting with people in the town.

Pei Yuan soaked in the hot water and watched the bright winter sunshine slanting into the house from the window. The water vapor was rising, and the drunkenness on his body gradually dissipated.

Suddenly I recalled what I had been like just now, and I felt embarrassed. I didn't act like this when I was drunk. It seemed that I was really under too much pressure as a helper during this period. Today I will listen to my brother and relax.

Thinking of this, he leaned his neck back and enjoyed this rare leisure time.

It is very rare for a person to truly enjoy his rest time. Only when he takes time out from his busy life can he taste the beauty of life. If a person has a lot of time to do nothing, he will only be bored. Struggling hard in the abyss.

Pei Yuan, who was leaning on the edge of the barrel, waved his hand and opened the window after the alcohol had dissipated.

The window is the most charming frame of the house. Pei Yuan tilted his head and looked at the scene outside the window as if looking at a painting. His mind was empty and he was in a daze.

After a while he fell asleep.

In the early morning of the next day, Pei Yuan got up early. After washing, he remembered Lu Hu's words yesterday and walked directly to the opposite door and knocked on the door.

After knocking three times, there was still no movement inside.

"Did brother get up early to practice?" But Pei Yuan thought again, "Brother has always been very careful, and the things he originally arranged were all in order. Since he told him to go to his room in the morning yesterday, there will definitely be no Such negligence!"

Pei Yuan pushed the door tentatively.

"Squeak~"

There was no latch on the door, and it opened as soon as he pushed it. Pei Yuan walked into the room slowly. When he entered, he first looked at the bed and saw that the bed was neatly made. This made his heart skip a beat. Then he turned around and saw A letter appeared on the table.

"No way~"

Pei Yuan came to the table, picked up the envelope, and saw it written on it: Pei Yuan, personally addressed by brother Xian.

The calligraphy is made of iron and painted with silver hooks, which is powerful and majestic.

"It's my brother's handwriting!"

Pei Yuan opened the envelope and took out the letter paper inside to read.

My brother Pei Yuan:

When you read this letter, I have already left Taiping Town. Yesterday, you and I were very happy to have a good chat over wine. From the words of the wise brother after drinking, I have already seen that the good brother is ready to become a good man. Regarding the preparations for the leader of the Taiping Gang, my brother made it clear before that the Taiping Gang is the ambition of my virtuous brother, not me.

The wise brother is innocent, chivalrous and courageous, but he lacks some experience. If the wise brother is allowed to start a gang with only his passion, there will inevitably be many setbacks and even life-threatening dangers. How can a brother stand by and watch?

This is just to help my dear brother, but my dear brother, you must remember that the things I do are not necessarily right. They are all my own ideas. My dear brother needs to be confident in the future and cannot blindly follow the plans I made before. Everything must be followed. Based on the actual situation, if you follow the rules and follow the steps, wouldn't it be like becoming a corrupt scholar?

After you got drunk and took a rest, I summoned everyone in Taiping Town and told me to go out if I had something to do. It was up to you to decide everything. Dear brother, please don’t use the name of gang leader. It’s not because of my brother’s greed for this false name, but the foundation of the Taiping Gang is mine. Taking it by force has only power but no virtue, and is unpopular. It seems that the Taiping Gang is thriving now, but in fact it is a mess. Once people know that I am gone, there is a hidden danger of falling apart. My dear brother, I must be clear about this.

Moreover, the matter of the Rebirth Religion can also make the other party more wary and give the wise brother more room for negotiation.

Once my brother has established a solid foundation, there will be no worries. My brother can decide all matters freely.

I will tell you a few more things later.

1. The person behind the division of accounts in Taiping Town is Chunfeng Xiaoyulou. (Although I have had contact with this organization, I don’t know much about it. I need to inquire more about it in the future.) But in fact, it is the official of Anyang Fucheng. This matter Although dirty, the Taiping Gang is not strong enough to set the table and make its own rules. The wise brother should give up and wait until the day when the world changes, and then worry about it.

Second, regarding the current problems of the Taiping Gang, in the final analysis it is one problem: lack of people.

Now that Feng Lie, Lin Qing, and Zhou Ping are here, this matter can be easily solved.

The specific arrangements of these three people are as follows:

Feng Lie was originally the person in charge of the town and was familiar with all affairs. He continued to let him run Taiping Town, and Zhou Ping was his deputy to spy on him. He moved Zhou Ping's family to Dingbei City, recruited his family members to join the Taiping Gang, and held certain positions in Dingbei City. position, in order to control Zhou Ping and at the same time make him more closely bound to the Taiping Gang, so that he can be used with confidence.

Lin Qing was a loyal man with a simple mind. He was brought to Dingbeicheng as his deputy, but he should not be allowed to act alone.

The disadvantage of Feng Lie is that he has many mixed thoughts, which must be suppressed by force. Once he cannot suppress them, he will have two minds.

The disadvantage of Lin Qing is that he has a simple mind and an impulsive personality. He only has a high position but no power, otherwise he will do a lot of bad things.

The disadvantage of Zhou Ping is that he is indecisive and prone to both snakes and rats. Affairs must be clearly arranged and the right to make decisions must not be given.

As the saying goes, no one is perfect. The disadvantages of the three people have been pointed out by the elder brother. The wise younger brother should be more careful. But the advantages of the three people should be discovered by the wise younger brother by himself. Everyone can make the best use of them. The ambition of the wise younger brother can be promoted.

As for Su Qingqing and Li Er, I still need to pay more attention to them and train them more. I think they both have a great spirit in their hearts and will definitely become talents in the future. These two people will be my right-hand men in the future, people who can be truly trusted.

Of course, all of these must still be based on the martial arts strength of the wise brother. If the martial arts cultivation of the wise brother is outstanding, he will be suppressed even if there are problems in the future. Strength and means are what the management gang lacks. Things that are not allowed, remember, remember.

Unknowingly, I have written a lot, so Brother Rong Wei will add a few words at the end.

The road is made by feet, and history is written by people. Every step a person takes is writing his or her own history.

I can conclude here that the good brother will definitely encounter great difficulties and setbacks in the future. Nothing in the world is smooth sailing, not to mention that the good brother has such lofty ambitions.

Only those who can withstand the test of the environment can be considered truly strong. Since ancient times, most heroes have struggled with adversity with an indomitable spirit.

But at the same time, I still want to explain to you that being brave doesn’t mean being fearless, that’s just stupidity. True bravery is being afraid but still choosing to move forward.

Knowing the difficulties and pain you may face, constantly struggling in the fear of death, and still being able to defeat yourself and choose this path is the real courage.

I have said before that Brother Xian has something that I don’t have, but I didn’t say it clearly at the time. Now you and I don’t know when we will meet again, so I’ll just name Brother Xian.

Dear brother, the most precious thing in you is your chivalrous heart. Brother, I have taught you a lot of conspiracy methods during this period, but you must remember that these are only means, not the purpose. With the power of the Taiping Gang, As you get bigger and bigger, brother, the power in your hands will also get bigger and bigger, but never lose your original innocence and chivalrous heart. When facing a huge choice, think about the purpose of creating the Taiping Gang. , make a decision that follows your heart.

The world is broken, people's hearts are ugly, people bully the weak and fear the strong, flatter the superior and bully the inferior, flatter the superior and disdain the inferior, despise the poor and love the rich.

Don't reject these, don't hate these, don't complain about these, accept them, and then let yourself always be the strong person.

There is a saying in my hometown that a real hero is one who recognizes the truth of life and still loves it.

All heroes are ordinary people. Thousands of twists and turns, thousands of tempers, determination never to change, that's all.

You are still very young, and in the future you will meet many people, experience many things, gain a lot, and lose a lot, but no matter what, there are two things that you must not discard, one is conscience and the other is ideal.

Speaking of which, I, Lu Hu, was born as a refugee. In order not to starve to death, I sold myself to the Senluo Society Death Arena, and later escaped with difficulty. Although there are many people in the world, I, Lu Hu, have no friends. I only talk to each other on weekdays, and there is no one around me. Alone, surrounded by shadow and shadow.

I'm so lucky to get to know my brother, get to know him through wine, and share our loyalty. I'm so lucky to have such a friend!

The time I spent with Xiandi in Dingbeicheng was the first happy day I spent in my life.

I hope that one day when you and I drink again, the person I drink with is the same Pei Yuan I know who has a chivalrous heart and puts life and death at risk in order to help the people of Dingbeicheng eradicate evil spirits, not Pei Yuan, the leader of the Taiping Gang.

Under the bed are the martial arts learned by my brother, and my brother takes them to fill the Taiping Gang's arsenal.

As I write this, it is almost dawn, and my brother is about to leave to see the world. I wish my brother Pei Yuan well.

Brother: Lu Hu.

When Pei Yuan read the letter, tears fell unconsciously and wet the letter paper.

He quickly used his sleeves to wipe away the tears on the paper.

"Brother, the past life was so difficult. No wonder my brother hates evil and has developed such incredible strength!"

Pei Yuan said to himself with a cry.

Then Pei Yuan carefully put the letter back into the envelope and put it away carefully. At this time, the weight of this letter in his heart far exceeded any martial arts.

"Brother, don't worry, Pei Yuan will definitely not let you down. He will stick to his heart and not be afraid of setbacks! I look forward to the next drinking session with you and my brother!"

Pei Yuan thought to himself.

At this moment, the shopkeeper appeared outside the door with breakfast, and saw the deputy gang leader sitting alone in Lu Hu's room, feeling sad.

"Deputy gang leader, are you the gang leader?"

"Get out!" Pei Yuan shouted coldly without turning around, so as not to let him see his tearful eyes.

"Oh!" The shopkeeper was extremely obedient when he saw this. He didn't dare to ask any more questions and turned around to leave immediately.

"etc!"

"Deputy Gang Leader, your orders."

"Close the door!"

"yes!"
