Volume 4: Following the Dragon and Slaying the Dragon Chapter 81 Take Refuge
Once there is a first, there will be a second. After accepting Song Xiu, several other people soon came to join him.
Except for a nearby level 40 bear-shaped monster who brought a group of less than 40 small monsters and called himself the Monster King and completely surrendered to Wang Liang, the others only surrendered in name only. They did not bring all their forces with them, but were willing to obey Wang Liang's orders and claimed to be part of Wang Liang's forces.
The ones who came to join him were the black bear demon Heifeng. Wang Liang originally wanted to change his name to Xiaohei, but he disagreed. In the end, Wang Liang had no choice but to accept this name.
A county lieutenant of Beixin County, named Qiao Zun, was in charge of more than 130 yamen runners in Beixin County and had a good relationship with the garrison in Beixin County. The reason why he defected was entirely because on the day when Wang Liang set up the Purple Air Wolf Smoke Pillar, he had a friend who knew how to read air and was drinking with him.
Qiao Zun was an ambitious man. He was willing to join Wang Liang's team and agreed that if Wang Liang started a rebellion, he could help Wang Liang take over Beixin County.
Of course, Qiao Zun is not a man without conditions. His requirement is that his family must at least obtain a title. Only by obtaining the title can his family break away from his current identity and pass on.
The other was the third in command of a nearby horse caravan, a strong man named Bo Da. Their horse caravan was actually a combination of nearby caravans and escort teams, with a total number of no more than 300 people, but they had their own camels and horses, commercial channels, and their own military force.
The reason why he chose to join Wang Liang was that he drank some wine in the Jingyangling Wine Shop, boasted to the sky, and finally got together with Yangtou's accountant, and finally they became brothers and voluntarily joined Wang Liang's forces.
However, he was only the third in command of the caravan, not the boss, so he couldn't move the entire caravan here. Now he could only move his usual business route a little bit over here.
However, I believe that if Wang Liang started a rebellion, the situation would be different. Wang Liang's status would more or less affect the voice within the caravan.
There was also a man named Chang Hou, who was the chief of a distant mountain village. He led more than 700 mountain people and made a living by hunting in the mountains. He knew of Wang Liang's existence because he accidentally hunted a sika deer under Wang Liang's command.
He was willing to join Wang Liang because Wang Liang would give him food to eat, but now he did not move his stronghold to Wang Liang's territory, but just lived in the original place, waiting for Wang Liang's orders.
Of course, there were still some scattered people who wanted to join, but they were either three or five people, or alone and not very strong, so Wang Liang did not have the time to write them down one by one.
Anyway, the wine shop is getting bigger and bigger, so those people can observe here first, and if possible, they can take them to various villages or mountain villages.
If they are willing to fight, we can also organize them into a team. How far they can go in the end depends on their luck.
After Wang Liang met a few people in the wine shop today, he originally wanted to wait for the Tianshi to send something over.
After all, Wang Liang was unwilling to let the people from the Tiansi Division enter his main house, so he asked them to deliver the exchanged items to the wine shop and he would transport them back himself.
But Wang Liang never expected that before he could get the people from Jiantiansi, he got the convoy from the Dongfeng Marquis family.
This convoy was quite strange. In addition to the three hundred soldiers on horseback, there were also five carriages that looked quite gorgeous.
This is actually a relatively normal travel configuration, but what is surprising is that the five carriages look like women's carriages.
After entering Jingyangling, they were discovered, but they stopped directly at a wine shop and asked to meet Wang Liang.
Wang Liang was waiting for the Astronomical Bureau to send something over. When he heard about this, he put down his wine glass and walked out.
"Hey, what are you doing..."
"Gong Ning, the daughter of the Gong family, the Marquis of Dongfeng."
Before Wang Liang could ask any questions, a woman got out of the carriage.
Although this woman was wearing clothes that were convenient for movement, it was clear from the layers of clothing that she was not an ordinary woman.
There were not many decorations on her head, only a red ribbon with a jade headband.
But such decoration, coupled with her temperament and a white round face, actually gives people a domineering feeling.
This sense of dominance displayed by the girl made Wang Liang speechless. What was going on?
Fortunately, someone Wang Liang knew finally came forward at this time.
That was the fat Taoist priest whom Wang Liang met last time when he went to Dongfeng Hou’s territory to inquire about information.
"My talented Taoist friend, it would be nice to meet you."
"So it's Fellow Daoist Liu. Fellow Daoist Liu, what's going on? I feel a little confused."
Wang Liang was naturally relieved when he saw an acquaintance, and asked with some confusion.
"This is what the Marquis of Dongfeng meant. The purple smoke signal you released that day was seen by all the worshippers in the Marquis of Dongfeng's mansion. When the Dongfeng Guards returned, they also told them about you. The Marquis of Dongfeng consulted with many advisers for several days and finally made a decision.
I hope you can assist the Crown Prince Gongqiu Conglong. In return, the Marquis of Dongfeng is willing to marry his daughter Gong Ning to you."
The fat and white Taoist Liu briefly explained the situation here.
Wang Liang laughed helplessly when he heard this: "Dongfeng Hou is not afraid that I am participating in the dragon fight and will defeat their family?"
"Dongfeng Hou's connections in the Heavenly Monitoring Department sent a letter, telling us what you exchanged for. Since you chose the position of God in Heaven, the matter of fighting for the dragon has nothing to do with you. The Dongfeng Hou family has no intention of fighting for the dragon. All they want is to keep the inheritance going."
Listening to the words of the fat Taoist Liu, Wang Liang looked at Gong Ning again. As the legitimate daughter of the Dongfeng Marquis family, she was well educated. Even though she knew her fate, she did not seem to be embarrassed at all. Instead, she looked at Wang Liang calmly, as if she was thinking about why her family chose Wang Liang for her.
Looking at the person in front of him, Wang Liang somehow thought of his wife in his dream. As a woman from the Qinghe Cui family, she also had her own confidence and pride.
Although Wang Liang has embarked on the path of cultivating immortals and has apparently forgotten the existence of the dream, after seeing Gong Ning, the shadow once again appeared in Wang Liang's mind.
Wang Liang shook his head. "I have a wife, and I won't stay here for long."
"I know, and this is exactly why my father chose you. I just want to preserve the inheritance of Marquis Dongfeng. When you leave, I will stay here and guard the Marquis Dongfeng Mansion."
After hearing Wang Liang's refusal, Gong Ning calmly expressed his thoughts.
