A day passed quickly.
In this one day, Cheng and Qin not only saw sweet potatoes, but also saw the harvester and the water conservancy organization of Dangyang Mountain.
The villagers near Dangyang Mountain were all grateful to Ye Qiu. In their eyes, Ye Qiu was a Bodhisattva sent by the heavens to save them.
He had a better impression of Ye Qiu than the current emperor, Li Er.
After all, the mountains were high and the emperor was far away. Although Li Er had basically ended the war against the king, the mountains were high and the emperor was far away. In particular, the Wuan County that Li Er had sent to guard had been exploiting the commoners for the past few years. This made the commoners of Wuan County extremely dissatisfied with the higher-ups.
As commoners, what they valued was being able to eat and wear warm clothes.
Although Li Er had ended the war, under Wang Shouzhi's oppression, they still lived a life worse than pigs and dogs. It was only when Ye Qiu arrived that the situation completely changed.
It could be said that Ye Qiu had completely liberated them. He had also taught them all kinds of knowledge and provided them with all kinds of things, allowing them to completely escape from their poor lives.
What they saw and heard along the way greatly shocked Cheng and Qin.
At dusk, Cheng and Qin finished their day's exploration and prepared to return to Autumn Wind Stronghold on foot.
On the way, the two of them did not say a word. What they saw and heard today really shocked them.
As a mountain bandit, he was actually more popular among the people than those officials.
This simply disrupted their worldview.
"Second brother, what do you think of this matter?”
After a while, Cheng Wenjin couldn't help but ask.
"I really don't know what Ye Qiu is thinking.”Qin Qiong was extremely furious and said something inexplicable.
Cheng Yaojin didn't understand where Qin Qiong's anger came from.
"This Ye Qiu is a natural genius. He could have brought benefits to a region, so why did he choose to be a mountain bandit? With his talent, he could have become a feudal lord, more than enough to be a regional governor, but he chose to become a mountain bandit.”Qin Qiong said.
Cheng Yaojin laughed and said nothing.
The sun gradually set and the moon slowly rose.
Cheng and Qin had already arrived at the entrance of Autumn Wind Stronghold.
The Autumn Wind Stronghold was brightly lit, and it was bustling with activity. The mountain bandits were having fun.
Ye Qiu was sitting in the middle.
When Qin Qiong saw Ye Qiu like that, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He was even angrier than he was when he suffered a defeat.
Such a person could benefit more people and more places, but he just had to stay here and be a useless bandit. He really didn't have any revenge. He was simply a salted fish.
He, Qin Qiong, didn't care about other people being salted fish. However, he was extremely furious that someone who could clearly benefit a region was going to be a salted fish.
It's fine if you're a salted fish yourself, but there are still so many people in the world who are in deep trouble. If you're a salted fish here, you're irresponsible to those people.
The more Qin Qiong thought about it, the angrier he became. He was so angry that he clenched his fists.
In the end, Qin Qiong couldn't take it anymore and walked straight to Ye Qiu's side.
"Ye Qiu, stand up.”Qin Qiong shouted angrily.
Ye Qiu looked at the angry Qin Qiong and was somewhat baffled.
Although Qin Qiong was his prisoner in name, these few days, he had never treated him like a prisoner. On the contrary, he treated him well and did not restrict his freedom.
In the entire world, only one family could treat prisoners like this.
Why was Qin Qiong so angry again?
Qin Qiong was filled with anger. He didn't care if he was a prisoner or if he would die. He was furious and wanted to scold Ye Qiu.
"Ye Qiu, why did you become a mountain bandit?”Qin Qiong said furiously.
Ye Qiu looked at Qin Qiong inexplicably and said,"General Qin, what's wrong with you today? Did you eat gunpowder? I'm a mountain bandit, what else can I be if not a mountain bandit?”
The bandits of Autumn Wind Stronghold were also angry because Qin Qiong had provoked their boss.
Because they knew that the Chief did not take this matter to heart at all.
"With your talent and your ability, you could have brought happiness to one side, to more people, to millions of people. Why did you choose to be a bandit here?”
Qin Qiong glared at him. What he saw and heard today was a huge blow to him. It had truly changed his worldview.
Before Ye Qiu could continue, Qin Qiong spoke again,"As long as you want to, I, Qin Qiong, can guarantee with my head that you can go anywhere in the eighteen paths of the Nine Prefectures. Why waste your life here as a bandit?”
Hearing Qin Qiong's words, the mountain bandits were stunned. How could they not understand the meaning behind Qin Qiong's words? Qin Qiong was trying to recruit their Chief to become a high official in the Imperial Court.
Qin Qiong was upright by nature and spoke his mind. He did not beat around the bush and directly spoke out the thoughts in the depths of his heart.
Hearing Qin Qiong's words, Cheng Yaojin was also stunned. Then, he hurriedly said,"Head Ye, I, Second Brother Qin, am right. With your talent, you should be able to see the world. I, Old Cheng, will also guarantee you that His Majesty will definitely listen to us. Moreover, His Majesty loves talents very much. You should not waste your life here.”
Ye Qiu was also stunned. He hadn't expected these two Great Tang Marshals to say such words.
For a moment, the scene fell into silence.
All the bandits of Autumn Wind Stronghold turned their gazes to Ye Qiu.
After spending so much time together, it was impossible for them not to know Ye Qiu's talent.
With Ye Qiu's talent, staying in this small Autumn Wind Stronghold was indeed a waste of talent.
They also agreed with Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin's words, thinking that with Chief's talent, he should indeed look at the entire world.
Even though they were very clear about it, they still couldn't bear to part with it.
After spending a year together, they had already followed Ye Qiu's lead. If Ye Qiu really left, they would be reluctant and cry.
After a while, Ye Qiu took a sip of wine and said,"General Qin, I think you are mistaken about something.”
