Chapter 273 Four Beams and Eight Pillars (Please subscribe!)
Hearing the conversation between Jiang Chong and Wang Zilin, Li Shun, the "grain station", couldn't help but interrupt:

"How powerful are the Khitan cavalry under Yelu Yan? How much suffering have we suffered under them?"

"Ye Mingsheng is just a twenty-year-old kid. How did he do it?"

Wang Zilin shook his head and introduced:
"It's not very clear at the moment, but it seems that Ye Mingsheng used a new type of firearm, catching Yelu Yan off guard and causing the Khitan army to be defeated... As for the specific situation, we'll have to wait and see!"

After saying this, Wang Zilin said to Zhen Sanshan, who was sitting in the main seat without saying a word, with great admiration:
"Third Master, you are indeed far-sighted. This kid named Ye is indeed a ruthless character. Yelu Yan was defeated by him. Fortunately, we did not do anything, otherwise we would have been used as a gun by that Japanese bitch Kobayakawa Takahide!"

After hearing Wang Zilin's words, several people in the hall looked a little embarrassed, and the head of the group, Jiang Chong, looked a little unconvinced and indignant, as if he wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he said nothing in the end.

Ever since Ye Mingsheng led his troops to Fengzhou to serve as the general, several war advocates headed by the artillery chief Jiang Chong, because they had gained various benefits from looting An Zhirong's caravan, wanted to take advantage of Ye Mingsheng's unstable foothold in Fengzhou to teach Ye Mingsheng a lesson and teach him a lesson so that it would be convenient for them to continue looting in Fengzhou...
However, Jiang Chong and his friends' proposal was finally considered by Zhen Sanshan. Later, Ye Mingsheng changed the trade route from Xiangshuiyuan to Qumaling. Jiang Chong proposed to rob again, but was finally entrusted by Zhen Sanshan until now.

Both proposals were rejected by Zhen Sanshan, which made Jiang Chong and other pro-war factions full of complaints. They almost said publicly that Zhen Sanshan was old and only wanted to maintain the status quo and did not dare to do big things!

And now Ye Mingsheng defeated the ferocious Khitans in Yaowobao, which undoubtedly proved the correctness of Zhen Sanshan's decision and gave Jiang Chong a hard slap in the face with facts!

Hearing the praise from his master, Zhen Sanshan took a puff of his pipe. Under the faint gray smoke, his expression was a little complicated...
Although he stopped the looting activities of Paotou Jiang Chong and others, he was not worried about how powerful Ye Mingsheng was. From the very beginning, he looked down on Ye Mingsheng, a kid who was almost the same age as his grandson. What he was worried about was An Zhirong, the mastermind behind all this!
As a local tyrant, he was well aware of the close ties between An Zhirong and the Khitans. Judging from various indications, Ye Mingsheng was the person An Zhirong had hired to guard Fengzhou. So what Zhen Sanshan was really worried about was that, with An Zhirong's help, Ye Mingsheng and the Khitans would join forces to deal with him!
Although he thought so in his heart, Zhen Sanshan still accepted the praise from his subordinates. He put down his pipe and said calmly:
"This little bastard Ye Mingsheng is really something. We should be wary of him!"

Hearing what Zhen Sanshan said, Paotou Jiang Chong could no longer hold back and clasped his fists and said:
"Third Master, even if Ye Mingsheng defeated Yelu Yan, it was only because of his firearms. This is not his real ability!"

"As long as you give me an army, I will fight all the way to Fengzhou City and capture Ye Mingsheng's concubine to warm your bed!"

Zhen Sanshan narrowed his eyes when he heard this, tapped the sole of his shoe with his pipe and said:

"Don't worry, there will be a time for you to show your talents!"

Seeing that his request was rejected by Zhen Sanshan again, Jiang Chong, who had a hot temper, didn't dare to get angry at Zhen Sanshan, but his face was stretched long and his expression immediately became very ugly...
Ignoring the change in Jiang Chong's expression, Zhen Sanshan asked about the training of the bandits in the mountain stronghold, the progress of the collection of protection fees from the counties and towns of Posuo Prefecture, and other issues, and ended the meeting in Weihu Hall. Jiang Chong, who was very depressed, returned to his home and could no longer hold back and cursed:
"Fuck you, old man, if you're afraid of trouble, just step on him and don't delay my fortune, okay?"

"You bastard, the silver you stole is enough to last me eight lifetimes, and I only got a few cents."

"I've been serving you all these years, and now I have to endure your bullying! Damn you, you old bastard!"

After spitting out the fragrance for a whole cup of tea, Jiang Chong's anger finally subsided temporarily. He sat in the chair dejectedly, drinking tea in big gulps to replenish the saliva he had just consumed.

The maids and old women in the mansion, as well as the concubine he had robbed, were all trembling in fear at this moment. They did not dare to approach Jiang Chong, for fear that they would become Jiang Chong's punching bags and be beaten up for no reason...

At this moment, a servant in the mansion came to Jiang Chong tremblingly. He was extremely scared and said with a tearful voice:
"Master Jiang, Master Liu the Flowery Tongue is here."

"No, no, no one!" Jiang Chong was in a very bad mood and subconsciously said:
Among the four pillars of the bandits, Huashezi is one of the four outer pillars. His status is slightly inferior to the four inner pillars, Paotou, Shiye, Shuixiang and Liangtai. He is mainly responsible for external liaison work. For example, after kidnapping, he is responsible for negotiating with the other party. He is required to be calm, good at matchmaking, and able to quickly judge the situation.

Jiang Chong, who always thinks highly of himself, looks down upon people like Liu Peng who are only good at talking, so he was not in a good mood when the other party came to visit him.

The servant who received the order did not dare to delay and ran all the way to report. However, Jiang Chong, who was sulking, did not expect that although he had clearly rejected the other party's visit, half a cup of tea later, a smiling middle-aged white-faced fat man in his thirties appeared in front of him.

"Didn't I tell you to get out? Do you want me to pull your tongue out of your mouth?" Looking at Liu Peng who forced his way in, Jiang Chong cursed:

Not only that, at this moment, Jiang Chong already had one hand on the hilt of the knife. He believed that if the middle-aged fat man in front of him didn't give him a good explanation in the next second, he would definitely teach the other party a lesson!
Flowery tongue is worthy of being a flowery tongue. Although Jiang Chong spitted all over his face, Liu Peng still kept his composure and said with a smile: "Master Jiang is very angry, but this time I came uninvited, not to cause you bad luck, but I have a treasure to give you..."
