Chapter two hundred and eighty-six, the vanguard (II)

Beside the construction site, there is a row of thatched huts. One of the rooms at the end looks relatively luxurious and is not occupied by workers but by peripatetics.

Master Li Qingfeng is sleeping, sleeping soundly. Yesterday was just named Left Protection Law Zhang Mingyue, also in the sleep, sleep is not very good. And the Rainbow Brothers and so on. Anyway, everybody's sleeping.

Bang, Bang!

Bang, Bang, Bang!

There was a knock on the door of the thatched cottage. It sounded hurried. Half a pillar of incense, Xiao Yao sent all the people are drooping eyelids, in the room for a meeting, a listless yawn.

"Tell me, tell me, have you made up your mind? " Said Nan Gong jin-er excitedly.

"about what? "

"join the frontier guards. I've just told you twice. It's easy work, good pay. "

"Oh, yes, the vanguard. " Li Qingfeng blinked, closed his eyes, and tilted his head slightly to the sides: "You heard? The mayor wants you to join the vanguard, have you gone? If you have, please express your opinion quickly, don't delay everyone's sleep. "

Peripatetic people are basically in this big room for meetings, a lot of people, very crowded, but not a squeak. Honestly, if they didn't know the mayor was a civil servant, they wouldn't have opened it.

And Really, the frontier guards? Come on. Vanguard at best, death squads at worst. In the future, when Barbarian comes, the first dead will be the vanguard, and 99% of them will be on the other side of the Nanshui River.

So, who's got nothing better to do than be a pioneer?

"Well, you disappoint me! "

She got up with a heavy clap on the table, before he left, my husband emphasized to me that you are all his friends and his good brothers, and that you are all chivalrous swordsmen!

You gather together before collect protection fee, endanger the village, it is my husband big benevolence not to pursue a large number of, give you a way of life to let you reform. I didn't think you'd agree to it, and now you won't even help!"

"Uh... "

Li Qingfeng opened his eyes, the others also opened their eyes, in the mind to hear very bad taste. I thought if I gave him the runaround, the mayor would back off, but then he started making moral accusations.

Peripatetic school although are some idle people, but everyone is really very moral and very principled. Before this, Li Qingfeng lost to Lu ran, everybody in the mind have no complaints, also be willing to follow Lu ran to mix, but the latter refused, this just according to its proposal to build religious people go the right way.

"Well, Miss Nangong, we did promise Lord Lu that we would help you as much as we could while he was away from Huaizhou. But, vanguard -- Foshan. "

"What happened to the vanguard? The Vanguard undertook an important mission to spy on the enemy's territory and provide key information for the future main force of the frontier force. It was at the forefront of the whole war. It was glorious and magnificent. It was called a 'Fo' . "

"uh-huh, " Ms. Lee interrupted. "Mayor, this is a great job. We get it. "

"since you know it, you should feel a sense of nationality and responsibility, a sense of purpose, a sense of purpose. "

"uh-huh, mayor, one thing you might forget -- as if most of us weren't even from the windy country. "

"Ah... AH? "

"Yes. Take me for example. I am from the basalt city of Yannan Kingdom. Zhang Mingyue is from the East war country, and the colorful brothers are from Wuxia and Changqi. So Foshan"

"Oh, so you have no duty? " Said Nan gong-jin-er, who seemed suddenly to have lost her intelligence and was quick-witted. "You are not of Fufeng County, that's all right, but you are all of the seven kingdoms, and you are all from the north!

Don't you care that Barbarian is going to trample on the north, and Barbarian is going to murder your friends and family? Or do you think Huaizhou's survival has nothing to do with your friends and relatives thousands of miles away?

Warriors, you must know that Huaizhou, like Friendship Pass and the old town of Donghe, is the gateway to the southernmost part of the north. If this place is overrun by Barbarian, the rest of the country could fall. No matter how far away your friends and family are, they will be killed by the Barbarian! So Foshan

Li Qingfeng again couldn't resist, raising his hand to interrupt her, the embarrassment on his face was extreme: "Well, mayor, there's one more thing you may have misunderstood. ". We're pretty much alone at a party. Take me, for example. My father died when I was 15, and the rest of my family died long before that. How did your family die?"

Zhang Mingyue shook his head, face INSIPID: "I do not know, I was born an orphan. Colorful brothers seem to have relatives, but are against each other. "

Hear here, South Palace Jin Er is tiny one zheng, the in the mind is very not the taste. When she finally got the hang of it, she was left with a thousand unquestioned truths in her mind, only to miss them twice in a row? How could this happen? How could this happen?

For a moment she could think of no other reason, and felt a sort of pity and sorrow for them.

The world is very difficult, life is very difficult, for no relatives peripatetic personage is even more so. I've already gotten into this situation, and it's a little far-fetched to talk about a sense of national purpose.

But she couldn't think of any other way, no one else. Huaizhou city today can only fool to the number of the vanguard, also only peripateticism sent this force.

"No, even so, you'll all have to join the vanguard! " She shouted, sounding almost an order.

The crowd is tiny one zheng, a little muddleheaded: "must join? "

"Yes, we all have to join, " she said, without making much sense. "I calculated before I came here that there were one hundred and forty of you, and I had to join the vanguard to make up the number. "

"well... we can understand that. But why are we doing this? We don't need the money right now. "

"I don't care. You promised my husband you'd help me for a while. Now I have a problem and only you can help me, so you have to join. At least until my husband comes back, you have to be pioneers. "

No one said anything. Everyone looked at the master.

Li Qingfeng wiped the perspiration, also looked at everybody, in the mind is not the taste. He waved to the crowd and gathered in a small voice, out of earshot of the mayor.

After a while, the discussion was over.

He stepped forward, with a smile: "Mayor, we discussed. ". Peripatetics are all men of honor, since promised to Lu Tong Zhu, then this favor must help. But just so we're clear, we'll only help master Lu get back. When he comes back, we'll give up the vanguard job, and you'll figure it out."

"Good! " South Palace Jin Er did not think to agree to come down at a draught. What worried her most now was not whether the peripatetic people would work for half a month or a month, but whether she could hand over the task the day after tomorrow and whether the mayoral position could be saved.

As for half a month from now, I'm sure a husband will see to it.

"Now that it's settled, the mayor should go home, we need to rest. And what's next, can we come back in broad daylight? "

"Well, I'll try to come during the day. But there's one more thing you have to help me with. "

"and... and? "

The people all speak with one voice, the in the mind already a bit want to drive a person directly. As a representative of everyone to Lu ran made a commitment to the head, Li Qingfeng a face of black line, the intestines are regretful, really should not agree to Lu ran to help his wife.

I said yes out of kindness, even gratitude. Because Lu ran with strength won him, but did not catch them, but also point the way, but also promised to put the future peripatetic some stunts to them.

He was thinking, "there's only one mayor. "? And a woman. What could possibly go wrong? Nanshan town of things can not be done, not to mention the experts gathered peripateticism?

Now he knew that he was wrong. Nangong Jiner was not only a woman, but also a woman who didn't play by the rules.

"mayor, you... what else? " Li Qingfeng asked.

"It's nothing really, just that you are friends of my husband, and now you are building a religious gate to help you make some money. "

"Oh? "

Everyone looked at each other, and their faces relaxed. I thought she had some embarrassing request, but it turned out to be a kindness to help them make money.

After all, the other party is the mayor of Nanshan town, the hands of the resources should be a lot, and have a great voice and decision-making power, perhaps want to sub-several projects to give them a contract, get some oil money.

Unfortunately, they overthought it, and the way to send the money is not contract work.

"The headquarters Special Bond, you know? "

"You mean we should buy bonds? "

"Yes, the central government is issuing bonds again these two days. They have one-year and three-year maturities, with an annual interest rate of 30 percent. "

"I don't... I don't think so. "

Li Qingfeng and others shook their heads. Huaizhou City headquarters of the border defense special bond, he also heard that the interest is very high, in the official bond is the highest. But they're not so sure about that right now.

If it had been six months ago, they would have bought it. But now more than half a year has passed, Huaizhou city issued bonds is said to be fast 100 million, which for a local financial top years of income, who knows when the time will be able to repay?

Besides, they're all quacks. They're familiar with usury. Hands now saved a lot of money, to make money can also find other ways, simple and quick, bonds or this thing left to pure businessmen to play.

"Why forget it? " Nangong Jin Er did not understand, she really thought it was to send money to each other: "a year can earn 30% , you do not want to? or You buy three-year, the total profit doubled

"No. Huaizhou city's special bonds for border defense have been issued too much. I don't think it's a good idea. "
