Wagang Village.

Zhai Rang was searching for silver while rummaging through the boxes and looking for silver. Zhai Hong stood aside and said dissatisfiedly: "Brother Rang, aren't you really going to spend 5,000 taels of silver to redeem that guy Xu Shiji?"

Zhai Rang said in a deep voice: "Brother, Shiji is my sworn brother. How can I not save you when I die? What's more, I am the boss. If I abandon it, how will my brothers think of me, the boss?"

Zhai Hong's face darkened, and he patted his chest and said angrily: "Xu Shiji is just your sworn brother, I am your dear brother, my dear brother!

Do you know how Xu Shiji did when I was kidnapped by the dog official Gao? This bastard actually asked the archer to point his bow at me, and he didn't care about my life and death. After Shan Xiongxin was also caught by the dog official, the guy immediately compromised and ordered his subordinates to put down the bow and arrow.

Second brother, you are kind-hearted and treat others as a sworn brother. You still believe them with all your heart, but look at how they treat your brother? They don’t take you as a sworn brother, you are the one who takes your family seriously. You are stupid and spend 5,000 taels of silver to save this ungrateful wolf. Anyway, I absolutely disagree."

Zhai Rang frowned and said, "Brother, you misunderstood. Shiji is definitely not such a person. Xiongxin has already told me about the situation at that time. The reason why Shiji ordered the archers to aim at you was just to intimidate the dog official to release him. If Shiji ignored your life and death, he would have ordered the arrow to be fired at that time."

Zhai Hong said with a dark face: "Why did Xu Shiji compromise when the dog official threatened Shan Xiongxin? It's not because he and Shan Xiongxin are in the same group!"

"That's because if Shiji didn't compromise, the dog official would really kill Xiong Xin. The dog official would already have two hostages in his hands. It doesn't matter if he killed one!" Zhai Rang explained patiently, obviously he also knew that with his elder brother's IQ, he would definitely not understand this level.

Zhai Hong obviously couldn't listen, and sneered: "You believe whatever Shan Xiong said. You don't believe what my biological brother said. You don't think about it. Why do those archers only listen to Xu Shiji and not me? If this continues, can you, the boss, still point to the people below?"

Zhai Rang was silent when he heard this. Zhai Hong immediately added to his qigong: "Since Xu Shiji and Shan Xiongxin came, our strength has indeed grown a lot. However, the people below also began to praise the bravery of the Shan family and how resourceful Xu Junshi was. There were fewer and fewer people praising the boss. Shan Xiongxin and Xu Shiji were originally in the same group, and their family was huge. Since they were so great, why did they still join Wagang Village and just stand up on their own? The reason they joined us was not because they were interested in our territory and planned to occupy the magpie's nest!"

Although Zhai Hong was greedy and stupid, his eloquence was good. He actually made him come up with a conspiracy theory. Xiao was Zhai Rang's broad mind and felt a little uncomfortable at this time. He frowned and said, "Brother, who taught you these words?"

Zhai Hong snorted coldly and said, "Everyone knows Sima Zhao's heart, can you still use people to teach me?"

Zhai Rang said in a deep voice: "Brother, just say these words in front of me. Don't gossip outside. Copycats are the foundation for our lives, don't be ruined by your big mouth!"

Although Zhai Hong was stupid, he knew the weight of Shan Xiongxin and Xu Shiji in the current hamlet, so he snorted coldly and stopped talking. Zhai Rang continued to rummage the boxes and cabinets, but found that the money was far from enough, so he asked, "Brother, how much money do you have? Lend it to me first and repay it to you in the future."

At present, Wagang Village has not yet escaped the nature of bandits. It usually drinks a large bowl of wine and weighs the money. After returning to the village, it is divided according to the credit. Each leader has his own small treasury, responsible for the food, drink, defecation and slaughter of his subordinates. There is no unified financial management mechanism. So now he has to take out 5,000 taels of silver to redeem people. Zhai Rang couldn't take it out for a while, and he had to mobilize the heads to raise money.

Zhai Hong didn't want to save Xu Shiji, so he naturally refused to lend money. He said hard: "I don't have enough money myself, so where can I get the money? Before joining the parody, Shan Xiongxin and Xu Shiji were all worth a huge amount of money. You can go to Shan Xiongxin and Xu Gai (Xu Shiji's father)."

Zhai Rang obviously knew that it was impossible to borrow money from Zhai Hong, so he planned to summon the heads to a meeting to raise money. As soon as he walked out of the room, he saw a familiar figure strode away and disappeared into the darkness of the torch light.

"Hey, who walked over just now?" Zhai Rang asked a minion guarding outside the door.

The minion replied: "It was Mr. Shan who came, he stood for a while and left!"

Zhai Rang's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he slapped his forehead and said, "Brother, it's all your fault. Xiongxin must have heard of any bastards!" After that, he hurriedly chased after him.

Zhai Hong was secretly happy, and it was better to hear that. It would be better for Shan Xiongxin to leave the village with anger. From now on, the Zhai family's world will be in the Wagang.

Let’s talk about Zhai Rang chasing him all the way to the front of the village gate. He only saw Shan Xiongxin riding his horse away. He couldn’t help but shouted loudly: “Xiongxin, wait!”

The rapid sound of horse hooves gradually drifted away, and finally became too thin to hear. Zhai Rang couldn't help but feel extremely upset. Shan Xiongxin and Xu Shiji were on his left arm. If they both left the mountain village, the blow to Wagang would undoubtedly be a huge blow.

"The boss, Mr. Shan said he went to save Junshi Xu, should he send someone to help?" asked the minion guarding the village gate weakly.

Zhai Rang came to his senses and immediately said, "Don't talk, prepare the horse quickly."

Gu Jue

Today is Thirteenth, and the moonlight is covered all over the ground. The sound of the Yellow River flowing in the distance came from the distance. Xu Shiji couldn't sleep. Although he was very sure that Zhai Rang would bring money to redeem himself, he still had insomnia. After all, it was related to his future and destiny!

Xu Shiji's family is very rich, and he has no worries about food and clothing. When he is free, he travels around, gains knowledge and makes friends. Although he is young, his horizons are very broad. The reason why he resolutely joined Wagang Village was because he felt that the Sui Dynasty had been exhausted, and a real man should take the opportunity to establish something. However, if he loses this bet, he will have to change careers and follow Gao Bufan, the "dog official", which is undoubtedly contrary to his original intention.

Xu Shiji looked up at the bright moon in the sky, then looked down at Gao Bufan, who was resting with his eyes closed, and was struggling to take the opportunity to jump on the horse and escape, but the latter suddenly opened his eyes and said, "You win, let's go!"

Xu Shiji said in surprise: "Did you win?"

"Because the person who picked you up is here!" Gao Bufan said, standing up,

Xu Shiji listened with his ears, and the fields were quiet, but he could only hear the sound of the flowing water of the Yellow River in the distance.

Gao Bufan had already turned over the horse and smiled and said, "Although I lost the bet, meeting was fate. I plan to give Xu Junshi a generous gift. A batch of horses will pass by here within two or three days, and there will be no less than five hundred horses. However, the other party is not a fuel-efficient lamp. If Xu Junshi has the courage, he can eat it. If he has no courage, he will pretend that I didn't say anything!"

After Gao Bufan finished speaking, he left with his horse's belly. The moon was hanging high above his head, and the fields were empty. Xu Shiji stood alone by the fire with a look of surprise, as if he had an absurd dream.

Just as Xu Shiji was thinking about Gao Bufan's intention to say that, the sound of horse hooves came faintly from afar. The sound of hooves was approaching, and it was obvious that he was running towards this side.

At this time, Xu Shiji couldn't help but secretly sigh that Gao Bufan's hearing was so powerful that he could hear the sound of horse hooves so much earlier than he did!

"Shiji!" A familiar voice came from afar. Xu Shiji was happy and replied loudly: "Brother Shan, I'm here!"

The person coming was Shan Xiongxin. He rushed to the bonfire and saw Xu Shiji completely unscathed. At the same time, he was a little curious and asked, "Shiji, where is the dog official?"

"Let's go!" Xu Shiji replied.

Shan Xiongxin said with a strange look: "Go away?"

Xu Shiji nodded and said, "Gao Mujian made a bet with me. If the head of Zhai takes the money to redeem me, he will let me leave if he doesn't take the money. If the head of Zhai doesn't come, Shiji will have to follow him in the future."

Shan Xiongxin suddenly said, "So that's it. It seems that this dog official is not for money, but for Shiji's talent. Hey, this guy has some vision."

Xu Shiji said ashamedly: "If you talk about talent, Shiji may not be as good as Gao Mujian. By the way, where is Zhai's head of the family?"

Shan Xiongxin's expression was a little unnatural. He was angry when he heard the conversation between Zhai Rang and Zhai Hong. Although he was rich, he was generous and generous. After selling his property and joining Wagang, he had almost dispersed. Five thousand taels of silver is not a small amount. If he could afford it overnight, he planned to come to save the people alone. Even if he fought to the death, he would be considered as a friendship between his brothers.

Xu Shiji was smart without collecting money. He guessed a few points at the sight. The smile on his face slowly faded away and said in a deep voice: "So, is it actually I lost?"

Shan Xiongxin hurriedly said, "Shiji misunderstood. In fact, the boss is collecting money here. It's just that Zhai Hong is hateful. Not only did he try his best to obstruct him, he also said a lot of unpleasant words to slander us."

Xu Shiji did not ask what Zhai Hong said, because he could guess it, and sighed: "Brother Shan, I have a little doubt whether it was correct to join Wagang."

Shan Xiongxin frowned: "Shiji, Zhai Dazhong treats us well. Everyone is righteous and broad-minded and can tolerate others. Joining Wagang was the best choice at the beginning."

Xu Shiji nodded. It was because of this that he and Shan Xiongxin decided to join Wagang.

At this moment, there were suddenly bursts of rapid horse hooves in the distance, and Xu Shiji and Shan Xiongxin hurriedly looked up.

"Xiong Xin, Shiji, are you? I brought the money!" Zhai Rang's voice came from afar.
