Chapter 726 The Wild Heroes
"Where does the manpower come from?"
"Brother-in-law, what kind of reputation did you have in the military household? Many people admire you and are willing to follow you? Now there are not many military members in the family. They work hard all day long but can't even make ends meet."
"Reputation? Reputation can be used as a meal? I have recruited people and I have to pay them for wages. Where can I take the business from? The most important thing is, after leaving Zhelin Town, who knows who I am?"
Three consecutive questions left my brother-in-law speechless. Lu Shisan said angrily: "Seriously. When you went out before, I asked you to visit Mr. Lu in Xinchang. Have you been there?"
"I went there, of course I went there! But I didn't see him, and I said that Mr. Lu happened to go out." Shi Lu was extremely curious about Mr. Lu, whom Lu, mentioned by Lu Shisan. After he went to Zhejiang with the Fujian merchant, he specially took a few days off to Xinchang, but who knew he was stunned. Seeing that Lu Shisan was full of confusion, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Brother-in-law, I fought with you last time. Is it really the young master Lu who helped Hu Butang fight against the Japanese in the southeast? He wasn't he just casually saying that he was lying to you?"
"I am a smuggler. What's the point of lying to me? Besides, who else can beat me to death with bare hands? I used some money during the days of entertaining me, but afterwards, Mr. Lu secretly kept ten taels of silver ingots. I didn't know how to thank him, and I could lie to me like this?"
Thinking of the few days of competition, Lu Shisan was fascinated and regretful, thinking that if he had met a true master like Lu Guangwu, he would not have taken a detour. In the year after Lu Guangwu left, he tried his best to make up for the flaws and the consequences that Lu Guangwu pointed out in his moves, and he would leave behind in the future without caring for his health. Over the past period of time, he realized that his martial arts had improved greatly. After grabbing herbs according to the prescription and simmering muscles and bones, some of the pain left in his early years was greatly relieved, and he was extremely grateful.
However, even a person like Lu Guangwu has never found a job in the court, let alone him?
Shi Lu had never seen Lu Guangwu before. Seeing Lu Shisan's excellence all the way, he thought about the old story of Fire Wolf when he was a child. He felt that it was not worth it for his brother-in-law and had to think about some news he had heard before. It is said that the countries in Southeast Asia are full of gold, and the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and there is no tax at all. Unlike here, let alone officials, even a mere minor official can make the people furious. It is better to learn from those pirates and try it!
The uncle and uncle each planned their own things. When they arrived at the gate of the Lu family, Shi Lu, who had sharp ears, heard someone talking inside. He thought it was his sister who learned about his return, so he happily left Lu Shisan and rushed into the door, but he didn't expect that he could see his sister Shi standing in the yard and talking to a few people. Among the few people, the young man in the leader looked at it at most in his early twenties and was dressed quite simply, but he was wearing a sword, which made him look more envious. After all, most of the soldiers in the army are officers, but only scholars with fame can wear swords.
What he even more unexpected was that when his sister saw his younger brother, she just smiled, and then shouted at him.
"Shisanlang, you are back. This young master said that he heard Mr. Lu of Xinchang mentioned you, so he came to visit him!"
"ah!"
Lu Shisan and Shi Lu exclaimed almost at the same time. Lu Shisan even threw down his burden and rushed to the young man, asking excitedly: "This young master is familiar with Mr. Lu?"
"I just saw it not long ago." Wang Fulin replied with a smile, and his eyes quickly looked at Lu Shisan.
In Lu Guangwu's notes, there were dozens of people mentioned in the ten prefectures in Guangzhou, but some were just mentioned in a hurry, while others were generous. Among them, Lu Shisan, who seemed to be in his prime, occupied the first place in Chaozhou Prefecture, especially the nickname of the Fire Wolf, which made him very interested. If he followed his previous idea, of course, he would send others to secretly contact each other according to the list in the future, but now the plan cannot keep up with the changes. The matter in his hands just needs manpower, so he can only make an idea.
But Lu Shisan didn't notice so much, and before he could even ask the other party's surname, he hurriedly asked: "Is Mr. Lu in Guangdong now?"
"It should be still here." Wang Fulin saw the other party's eyes bright, and the young man who was about the same age as him was a little suspicious. He saw several followers quietly retreating to the door. The sharp-eyed Liu Bo made a gesture that there was no situation outside the door. He had known that there was no one else in the room except Shi, so he said lightly, "Mr. Lu has gone into the sea with several pirates, trying to suck the two largest ones."
"What?"
This time, Lu Shisan and Shi Lu shouted at the same time again. Even when they started to entertain Wang Fulin, the Shi family, who felt that the young master with their entourage was intimate, couldn't help but take a breath. In an instant, Lu Shisan came to his senses and pulled Wang Fulin into the house hurriedly. It was not until he entered the door that he realized a little, and turned around and shouted at his wife: "Madam, look outside, don't let someone come in!"
But as he said this, he found that his brother-in-law Shi Lu had already rushed into the house before him, looking like you didn't even leave, and just stood in the house. So he had to ignore the boy. Since he was cheering up, he did not let go. He just looked at Wang Fulin and said, "Young Master, can you explain it clearly?"
"In short, Mr. Lu learned that many pirates in the Guangdong-Fujian area were hoping to be pacified, so he and another Mr. Zheng from Kunshan went deep into the enemy camp to investigate and strive to recruit these people."
Lu Shisan finally changed his expression suddenly and shouted: "Don't he know that Lin Dao, Qianlin, Afeng, the two pirate leaders, have sneaked back secretly and are now staying in Waiping. Several subordinates are recruiting soldiers in Chaozhou Prefecture? Even if he has the courage to be a ten thousand men, he relies on strong ships and powerful cannons to the sea. If those pirates turn against each other, it would be bad! No, little pomegranate, hurry up and find someone, find a boat!"
