Mu Hanchun snorted coldly, disdaining to argue.
Han Xiangzi said, ”Senior Zhuo Luo, it's still early, should we head down to pay respects to Ning Wan Lou?”
”There is no need,” said Zhuo. We'll just wait here quietly. ”
Han Xiangzi slightly nodded, and in the end, didn't say anything else.
And at the shrine under the feet of the five great young geniuses.
As time passed, more and more important figures entered.
The leaders of the seven bandit brigades, as well as the heads and upper echelons of the tribes who had received Ning Wan Lou's favor, all entered the hall one by one.
Until the arrival of Ning Yuling and Xiao Yu, the atmosphere had reached its peak.
Ning Yuling led countless of people, publicly offering incense and prayed. After finishing a series of ceremonies, Ning Yuling knelt in front of the grave and all of the important figures stepped forward to pay their respects with incense.
Xiao Yu, on the other hand, indifferently stood behind Ning Yuling. Since Xiao Yu was someone who had built up his core of gravity, he naturally had to follow along.
However, Xiao Yu's gaze was not locked onto the tombstone, but instead secretly surveyed his surroundings, looking at the surrounding topography.
Very quickly, Gu Ya arrived.
Gu Ya said after the incense was given to him, ”Brother Ning, it doesn't matter how others judge your merits. In my heart, you are the loyal and loyal Ning Wan Lou, the brothers who were willing to defend me from the artillery fire. ”The Nine Springs, go well!”
Gu Ya's mind was heavy, he then rushed to Ning Yuling and comforted him: ”Yu Ling, take care of your body.”
With that, Gu Ya turned and returned to the group of people. Under Zhu Yunqing's company, they stood there motionlessly.
Qian Jianzi came forward.
Arriving at the grave, I offered my incense and worship. Then Qian Jianzi spoke in a deep voice: ”You were once my disciple when I came to Thousand Swords Sect to cultivate. Regardless of your achievements, Master knows that you have ambitions. Unfortunately, his ambition had not been fulfilled, and the golden snakes had not been removed. I hope that in the next life, your ambition will soar, and everything will go smoothly! ”
After glancing at Ning Yuling, Qian Jianzi turned around and left as well.
A middle-aged man dressed in black, with a square face, slowly walked forward and offered incense sacrifices as he said faintly, ”I, General Wu Kui of the Eastern Army, am proud to have a deputy like you. I vaguely remember when the two of us, one spear and one horse, traversed eighty miles of the enemy army. Two people and one horse formed a self-defense line, frightening the enemy. That's your style. Brother, if there is an afterlife, this Regional Commander still wants to join hands with you! ”
Wu Kui chatted for a long time before leaving. As he passed by Ning Yuling, he sighed deeply. Then he walked to the front of the crowd.
One by one, the big figures went forward to pay their respects, and finally, Ning Xiong, Ning Hei Hu and Ning Long also went forward to offer their respects.
After finishing the ceremony, it was already the afternoon, and it was close to dusk.
Ning Yuling stood up, wiped away her tears, raised a scroll in her hands, looked at the three thousand odd horse bandits, and said hoarsely: ”Father's life involved the establishment of a private army, and in the midst of all helplessness, he made the decision to kill and rob. His original intention was to fight against the Polygonum Multiflorum Snake s and liberate the hundreds of tribes and towns around the Thousand Towers Mountain. His original intention was to rely on his current generation of horse bandits to abandon the reputation of his generation, and he would rather bear the cost of being scolded by the world. He had to strangle the Polygonum Multiflorum Snake race as well. So that all the tribes near Wanlou Mountain could live peacefully and live happily for generations to come. You three thousand mounted gangsters, you followed your father in burning, looting, killing, and persecuting countless wealthy aristocrats and merchants, you carry with you the curse of your entire life! Father has let you guys down. Father has implicated you! ”
Speaking to here, in front of the three thousand horse bandits, Ning Yuling openly knelt down and kowtowed, ”My father will atone for his sins. You are the sinner of the Province Pinghai, you are indeed the hero of the Ning Family! You have endured too much! ”
The entire audience of three thousand horse bandits were visibly moved.
After Ning Yuling finished kowtowing, she stood up and said: ”Back then, you all killed and robbed the wealthy and aristocrats for the sake of development needs, the need to fight against the Polygonum Multiflorum Snake. Now, our Treasure Pavilion has found a sufficient source of profit. We don't have to be mounted bandits anymore. Today, at my father's grave, I publicly announced that the seven bandit brigades had been disbanded. From then on, the Treasure Pavilion was not a gang of mounted bandits, and you were no longer mounted bandits. He could be a decent person. My Treasure Pavilion will assign you three thousand six hundred and fifty serious jobs. I'll let you all be good people, live in peace, marry and have children, continue your children, and enjoy the bliss of heaven! From now on, all of you are shareholders in the Treasure Pavilion, so you will share the benefits of the Treasure Pavilion's profits! ”
The moment those words came out, the entire audience exploded!
A vast majority of the people were elated, some even had tears of excitement flowing down their faces!
If there was a better way out, who would be willing to be a mounted gangster?
Furthermore, he could become a shareholder in the Treasure Pavilion and enjoy all the profits!
This was truly a deadly trump card! It was so direct that none of the mounted gangsters were able to refuse.
With fame and fortune, who could refuse?
Ning Xiong, Ning Hei Hu, and Ning Long were dumbstruck. They only knew that Ning Yuling was young and promising, and that he was in charge of the Treasure Pavilion, even though he wanted to purify the Treasure Pavilion with his full force. However, he would never have thought that this woman would throw down such a huge bomb!
Heartbreak!
In this way, who would be willing to follow them as mounted gangsters? Even the eight hundred trusted aides were shaken!
Feeling the cheers of the entire audience, Ning Yuling also revealed a happy smile, ”After I took over the Treasure Pavilion, I've been looking forward to this day ever since. Now, I finally have the ability to make this decision! ”
”Long live the Tower Lord!”
”Long live the Tower Lord!”
”We'll listen to you!”
”We can finally go home!”
The mounted gangsters had all gone crazy.
Ning Long roared at the same time, ”Stop messing around! Ning Yuling, you are simply messing around! ”
The entire audience quieted down as they looked at Ning Long.
Ning Long continued, ”I was the first to follow the Old Tower Lord and fight to the death. This Treasure Pavilion's property is at least half of mine, Ning Long's. Not to mention this, the Old Tower Lord had spent his entire life's effort just to kill the Polygonum Multiflorum Snake and liberate the hundreds of surrounding tribes. Now that the Polygonum Multiflorum Snake has not been eliminated, what basis do you have to disband this private army? What if you disband the private army and the countless tribes around you that haven't moved into Qi County? This is clearly deceiving your master to exterminate your ancestors, going against the Old Tower Lord's last wish! The Old Tower Lord will not rest in peace even if he dies! ”
At this time, Ning Black Tiger suddenly stood up and said, ”Commander is right, we absolutely cannot disband the mounted gangsters. We should continue to strengthen our mounted gangsters and kill Polygonum Multiflorum Snake. Completing the old tower lord's last wish was the right path. Furthermore, there were so many mounted gangsters present. They had joined the private army at the earliest possible moment for the sake of sacrificing themselves to kill the golden snake and liberate the tribe! No one would agree to such an unforgettable act! ”
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire crowd of mounted gangsters exploded into an uproar, causing a huge debate. The reason why they chose to become mounted gangsters, on one hand, was because they wanted to force a livelihood. However, it was also because they wanted to kill the golden snakes, liberate the tribe, and let their descendants live a peaceful life.
Ning Long's words deeply stung their hearts.
Ning Xiong said: ”What my father said is correct. If they disbanded now, no one would be able to kill the golden snake in the future. We disbanded, but our children and grandchildren still live in the nearby tribes, and our children and grandchildren say that they will always be the food of the golden snakes. Is that what everyone wants? ”
”This is not what we want. We do not want to disband. For the sake of future generations, we must kill the golden snakes! ”
”I've been a horse thief for half my life and have been scolded countless times. I don't mind doing it for a few more years. As long as I can kill the golden snake, even if I die, I am willing to do so! ”
”That's right, don't dissolve it!”
There were more and more mounted gangsters supporting Ning Long, and in the end, all of them were linked together and affected the whole battlefield!
Even Ning Yuling was shocked, she never thought that the situation would change so quickly.
At this time, Ning Xiong finally revealed a smile. Seeing everyone's support, his attitude became even more arrogant, and he shouted loudly, ”Ning Yuling, you deceived Master! Ignore the last wishes of the Old Tower Lord, he is not fit to be the Tower Master of the Treasure Pavilion at all! I suggest that the master of this building should be someone else. For example, the Grand Commander-in-Chief is very suitable. ”
Ning Black Tiger took the opportunity and said, ”That's right, the Great Commander has been diligent his entire life. After the Old Tower Lord dies, he still carries out the Old Tower Lord's last wishes, and only as the Great Commander he can fulfill the Old Tower Lord's last wishes. Everyone supports the Great General as the tower lord! ”
”Supporting the Grand Commander-in-Chief in becoming the tower lord!”
”The Grand Commander-in-Chief is the Tower Lord!”
”The Grand Commander-in-Chief is the Tower Lord!”
Over three thousand yards, they all said the same thing and asked the general to be the tower lord.
The sound was thunderous and awe-inspiring.
Even Ning Yuling felt a wave of despair, and involuntarily took a step back. She had never expected things to turn out this way.
He had a defeated look on his face.
Just then, a hand rested on Ning Yuling's shoulder. ”It's fine, with me here, no one can touch you!”
Ning Yuling raised her head and looked at Xiao Yu, laughing at herself: ”Xiao Yu, it's hard to go against the will of the people, I'm afraid that I will not be able to support you in the future. Get out of here, they're crazy. I don't want any unforeseen events to affect you! ”
Xiao Yu said indifferently, ”I said, with me here, no one will be able to touch you!”
Finished speaking, Xiao Yu took a step forward, faced the entire audience of three thousand horse bandits, and said coldly. ”With me, Xiao Yu, here for one day, no one can strip Ning Yuling of her position as the OP!”
Xiao Yu's voice was as loud as thunder, and directly drowned out the sound of everyone present.
Everyone raised their heads and looked at Xiao Yu.
Ning Xiong said: ”Xiao Yu, what qualifications do you have to interfere in the internal affairs of my Treasure Pavilion? Ning Yuling had forgotten his ancestors. Everyone supports the Great General as the tower lord, what qualifications do you have to oppose that? ”
Xiao Yu said coldly: ”Polygonum Multiflorum Snake, I'll kill! As such, the mounted bandits have no reason to continue existing! ”
With one sentence, the entire audience exploded!
