march to victory

The next day, inside the Baozikou Gold Mine!

The Baozikou Gold Mine is located at the foot of a large mountain. It is divided into two large areas, the inner and outer areas, and is surrounded by a fence made of wooden piles with a bowl mouth and a height of about [-] meters.

The outer area is divided into left and right sides. On the left side are accommodation and canteens for laborers and mine guards, and on the right side is a wide but shallow river. Usually, some workers wash ore here.

The inner area is the source of the small river, which extends all the way into the cave... No one knows what is going on inside, and even few people know how deep it is.It can be said that the confidentiality measures are very strict.Of course, there must be much more gold mines inside than outside, which is the key area.I even heard the sound of explosions inside from time to time, and there were some corpses and the like. Anyway, people outside felt that the inside was terrifying, so that few people were willing to go inside to work.Even for meals, the workers in the inner and outer districts are separated, which makes people even more imaginative.

Here, a 300-member mine protection team was originally stationed here, and because Huabaozi regards this place as the biggest source of income, it attaches great importance to it. Therefore, this 300-person mine protection team is also the elite and core of Huabaozi's armed forces. With confidence, this place has naturally become his lair.

However, because Hua Leopard had to stay in the county for a long time to deal with the old mayor Zhou Baichuan, serving the Japanese devils well, he himself needed the protection and enforcement of armed forces, so he mobilized half of the armed forces from here.In addition, it is not far from Dajin Town, so if something happens, you can definitely arrive within two hours, and there are no big armed forces in the surrounding area except for the little devils and two or three armed forces like Matou Town—— —This place is now occupied by the little devil. As long as the little devil does not fall, then, without the approval of the little devil, other armed forces that can threaten the Baozikou Gold Mine will not dare to move, or they will seek death.On the other hand, once the little devil approves the attack on the Baozikou Gold Mine, it doesn't matter whether Huabaozi concentrates all his power here or not. , definitely can't do the little devil.Therefore, under normal circumstances, even if there are only 150 people here, it is enough to resist the attacks of others.No matter how bad it was, they only needed to guard for two hours before they could get reinforcements.Therefore, Hua Leopard is still very relieved about this place, otherwise he would not have boldly deployed half of the armed forces directly... Of course, this is only under normal circumstances.

"Master Hu, tomorrow is the [-]th birthday of Mr. Peng (Liu Hu's father-in-law). Brothers have not had a big bowl of wine for a long time, and have been eating meat. Can you give them a delicious meal?"

Since Liu Hu became one of the leaders and expanded his strength in this area, his father-in-law's family began to prosper and gradually emerged, and Liu Hu's status in the father-in-law's family also increased.

A few days ago, my father-in-law sent someone over to say hello to him, and asked him to help out when he was free, preferably a day or two in advance.Tomorrow is my father-in-law's birthday. He went here today to show his identity and help. He stepped on this point very accurately, so he sent his wife there yesterday and arranged everything. At noon today, he I plan to bring fifty men specially selected, ready with knives and guns, and prepare to go to the old man's house to help... They say it is to help, but everyone knows it in their hearts, it's just to sit, chat with the guests, gamble and so on. You can't ask him to be a dignified second-in-command to move the table and clean the chairs, that's a slap in the face.To put it bluntly, the old man wanted to use his status and armed forces to show off the prestige of the Peng family.

In this regard, he is also happy - riches and honors do not return to their hometowns, like walking in brocade clothes at night.It's the same when you go to the old man's house to show off.

No, the fifty people had just joined together, and as he was walking over, he saw a group of foremen standing beside them smiling and watching, and one of them, a young man in his twenties, asked for a reward directly.

This young man is not an ordinary person. The reason why he dared to ask for the reward directly is because he is Zhou Yi, the nephew of Zhou Kaijun, the third master.

Zhou Kaijun has two daughters, but no son. Zhou Yi happened to have both parents dead, and he became a bandit with his uncle a long time ago. It can be said that Zhou Kaijun really raised Zhou Yi as his own son, and he only had to openly adopt him.

With the help of Zhou Kaijun, Zhou Yi was naturally very good at mixing, and soon became a small boss.

However, as Zhou Kaijun did not fight Liu Hu, Zhou Yi's status plummeted.The biggest reason why Zhou Yi didn't go to Dajin Town with Zhou Kaijun was that Zhou Yi was a hostage, whether it was for Liu Hu or Hua Baozi.

Therefore, Zhou Yi's position in Baozikou is somewhat special: although everyone knows that he is a hostage, as long as his uncle Zhou Kaijun is not finished and he does not cause trouble, even in the Baozikou gold mine, he is not easy to offend.Of course, in name, he has also changed from a former small boss to a current foreman, and he is responsible for supervising labor every day.It's just that his behavior of fishing for three days and posting on the net for two days was not mentioned by others. Liu Hu also pretended not to see him because he didn't want to force Zhou Kaijun too much.So, in this Baozikou Gold Mine, Zhou Yi lived the most nourishing life, and made a bunch of cronies and friends, spending money to play all day long.

Zhou Yi was definitely uncomfortable in his heart, but he had been in the arena for a long time, so he naturally had a good eye. He usually missed work, played cards, etc. He was the kind of person who never made big mistakes and kept making small mistakes.Moreover, because he knew his identity, he was born without the strength to choose to stand in line, so he would never hang out in front of Liu Hu, let alone try to please Liu Hu.Liu Hu is also based on the principle that seeing is not seeing, as long as this guy doesn't prevent big mistakes and doesn't run away, he's up to it.

However, I never expected that today, Zhou Yi would take the initiative to ask for a reward.

Hearing Zhou Yi's words, Liu Hu didn't think much about it, thinking that Zhou Yi wanted to borrow his own things to sell everyone's favors.

Naturally, I wouldn't fall for it.

He smiled immediately and said: "Brothers, this year has been hard enough. Originally, I wanted to find an opportunity to improve the food for everyone and have a dental festival. Now, it happens that my father-in-law's [-]th birthday is tomorrow, so I just do it all at once... ..." Speaking of which, he thought, instead of just selling favors to these people, he might as well take the opportunity to sell favors to everyone, anyway, it won't cost much.So, he looked up at everyone and shouted: "Everyone, don't worry. Tomorrow, not only will the food be improved for the brothers, but also for all the workers here. One counts as one. All will improve the food. Don't dare to say anything else. , but I guarantee that each person should at least have a bowl of meat and a bowl of wine. I just hope that everyone will work hard in the future and make a fortune together!"

"Thank you Lord Tiger!"

Immediately, everyone happily thanked Liu Hu.

Liu Hu nodded with a smile, and was about to continue walking. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Thank you Lord Hu for the generous reward, but since the wine and meat are guaranteed, can we give everyone here a big vacation? Let everyone take a good rest."

Then, Zhou Yi yelled to the surroundings: "Do you think so?"

No one answered, even though Zhou Yi's few friends around him looked at Liu Hu with a smile, none of them spoke.However, all the workers straightened up and looked at Liu Hu with expectations.

Liu Hu turned around abruptly, and looked at Zhou Yi with cold eyes.

Zhou Yi shrugged his shoulders with a smile, didn't speak, but looked at Liu Hu.

Not to mention Zhouyi's request is getting more and more excessive: I agreed to your last request, but you were not satisfied, and wanted to ask for more. You have to understand who is in charge here?Not to mention that Zhou Yi is suspected of inciting everyone, not to mention that if he really wants to magnify the fake, who will be responsible for the loss?I have already had three days off during the Chinese New Year - every year I can have a holiday during the Chinese New Year. Normally, prescriptions are not allowed unless there is a death. Now I have to return the holiday. Then, not to mention the decrease in my monthly income, the key Yes, the little devil and Hua Baozi blamed him for failing to complete the prescribed tasks. Liu Hu didn't want to take this responsibility—he wasn't so arrogant that he didn't take the little devil and Hua Baozi seriously.

Just saying that Zhou Yi dared to look at him so unscrupulously, he offended Liu Hu: You little hostage, if I didn't have the strength to swallow your uncle in one gulp, otherwise, how could you jump in front of me? qualifications?However, since you provoked first, then I will educate you and teach you a lesson, so others will have nothing to say.

Like Zhou Kaijun, Liu Hu is not big-hearted, and people who are not big-hearted are easy to get angry.And once a person is angry, it is easy to ignore many things, for example: Zhou Yi, who used to be respectful in front of him, or would rather take a detour than meet him, why would he suddenly take the initiative to provoke him so abnormally today? Own?

"Zhou Yi, what do you mean?"

"It's nothing interesting, I just feel that the brothers are busy with the affairs of the gold mine all year round and don't have time to rest. Tomorrow is Mr. Peng's [-]th birthday. If you are happy, maybe you will let everyone... Let's celebrate together!"

"The whole world celebrates? You are mocking me for my incompetence, my strength is weak, right?"

After finishing speaking, before Zhou Yi could open his mouth, he yelled coldly: "Come on! Zhou Yi refused to obey discipline and provoked me. Hang him at the gate for a day, let him have a long memory, and figure out his identity, so that he doesn't know where he is. Who is calling the shots now."

"You dare to hang me?" Zhou Yi was taken aback for a moment, then shouted angrily.

"Hang him for three days!"

Liu Hu shouted angrily.Immediately, his subordinates rushed over to tie him up... He was hanged for three days, among other things, the mosquitoes in this mountain alone could kill him.

At this time, the two people beside Liu Hu took a step forward, and the person on the left whispered, "Second Master, Zhou Yi is the nephew of the Third Master after all...We don't have the ability to swallow the strength of the Third Master now. It's better to be patient first, wait for the strength to arrive, and then..."

The following words were not spoken, but everyone understood the meaning.And the person on the right also whispered: "Yes! Second Master, if you want to achieve great things, you must first learn to endure. This is what you usually teach us. Let's endure temporarily and teach him a lesson. There is no need for this It's a small matter, and the third master is forced to fight with you desperately. Killing one thousand enemies will cost you eight hundred. At that time, even if we can defeat the third master, our strength will definitely be greatly damaged. But with the uncle watching from above, it is estimated that ...Besides, tomorrow is your father-in-law's birthday, at this time, it's better not to see blood, so as not to be unlucky."

Liu Hu thought for a while, and said: "For the sake of someone pleading for you, I will spare you this time, but the crime of living is inevitable. Come on! Put him in a water prison, lock him up for a day, and don't allow him to eat or drink. "

After finishing speaking, Liu Hu looked coldly at Zhou Yi who was still struggling, snorted heavily, turned and left.

And among the workers not far away, there were seven or eight men watching all this, with three words floating in their hearts - it's started!

They are all members of the assault company. They were sent in early this morning through their relationship to prepare for tomorrow...
