Chapter 347: Ice and Fire
Back then, it was a pair of brothers from the Lin family who came to Qingmeng, relying on a pair of fists and a knife to fight their way out of the world. A sheep, a horse, a cow...... Little by little, they formed a primitive accumulation. Gradually, the Lin brothers took root in the grassland, and all the people in the family migrated over. Later, in the battle between the tribes, the eldest brother died tragically, and the younger brother, Lin Kuoping's father, became the leader of the tribe.
This continued until the other nomads joined the tribe under the infestation of horse thieves, wolves, etc., and then officially established the Arabel Banner. It's a pity that my younger brother went out to trade once, and when he came back, he encountered wolves. By the time he returned, he was seriously injured. His last words let Lin Kuotai take over as the patriarch of the Alabel Banner.
The patriarch of a tribe has kung fu secondary, but also has outstanding foresight and courage...... For his son, there are a few pounds and taels, and the younger brother can't be clearer. Without any hesitation, he passed the position of the patriarch to Lin Kuotai. However, neither he nor Lin Kuotai thought that after so many years, Lin Kuoping would always be jealous.
Lin Kuotai shook his head: "I can't let you be this patriarch. ”
Lin Kuoping was a little frustrated, and laughed and said, "Haha, how is it? I know that you will not give up the power in your hands." ”
"You're wrong, I don't care about this bit of power, I don't want to watch you kill all your people. ”
"I can't kill them, I can only give them happiness. ”
"Happiness? If you start a war against the Balut Banner and the Urad Banner, how many people will be left in our Lin family? Even if we win, we will inevitably lose our vitality and let the other tribes swallow it. The prairie is the world of the jungle, and the first thing is to preserve strength. ”
"You are cowardly!"
If you two quarrel, you will quarrel with you, why are you holding me and not letting go? Huo Qing felt very innocent. However, he was really afraid that Lin Kuoping would be ruthless and kill himself again, how wronged he was. Taking advantage of Lin Kuoping's attention focused on Lin Kuotai's body, Huo Qing's hand drooped slightly, and the sword spirit shot out, stabbing Lin Kuoping's throat.
What the hell is this?
Lin Kuoping thought that someone was sneaking up on him, so he didn't care about hurting Huo Qing again, so he hurriedly dodged to the side. Hide, hide...... No matter where he ran, the sword spirit always lingered in front of his eyes. At this moment, he was really frightened, his face changed miserably, and he said in a trembling voice: "Big brother, I ...... I know it's wrong, you spare my life. ”
This scene also frightened Lin Kuotai. What kind of kung fu is this? It was the first time he had seen it. However, he didn't break it, went up and kicked Lin Kuoping on the heel, and asked: "Say, who is behind the scenes to instruct you to do this? Don't tell me, it's your own idea." ”
"It was really my own idea......"
"I think you don't repent of dying? Poisoning the horses of our tribe and strangling Lin Laosan is a capital crime. ”
Lin Kuotai put the Qingmeng knife with a slender body and a thick back on Lin Kuoping's neck, and said coldly: "I'll give you one last chance, don't you say it?"
The cold feeling coming from the blade made Lin Kuoping shiver with excitement.
At this moment, he really realized the horror of death, and said in a trembling voice: "Big ...... Big brother, I don't know where they came from, I only know that the man is called Zhan Hu, who is more than 1.90 meters tall, has a sturdy body, has a shaved head, and has a scar in the shape of a 'king' on his forehead, which is very fierce. ”
"Did he promise you anything?"
"He said that he would help us in the Arabel Banner and become the largest tribe in the steppe. I'm going to lay chimpanzee beans for the horses of our Arabel Banner, and he's going to lay chimpanzee beans for the horses of the Urat Banner. In this way, you can frame the Balut Banner upstream. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Arabel Banner and the Urat Banner joined forces and swallowed the Balut Banner in one fell swoop. Then, the War Tiger came to help our horses recover their health, and then swallowed the Urat Banner in turn......"
"What?" Lin Kuotai raised his eyebrows and asked, "You believe it?"
"Yes. ”
"You don't ask, why did he help you?"
He said that when Arabel Banner became the overlord of the grassland, he would use the specialties of the grassland to trade with him. ”
"You ......"
Whether this man has been kicked by a donkey in the head, or has he been in the water, he will believe even such a clumsy lie. Huo Qing felt that this war tiger was very powerful and knew how to grasp people's psychology. It just so happened that Lin Kuoping had been jealous of Lin Kuotai for so many years, but he didn't know what to do. However, Zhan Hu gave him such a chance, and the two naturally hit it off.
Huo Qing didn't understand a little and asked, "The people of the Alabel Banner, did they say when they will come over, join you, and come together to besiege the Balut Banner?"
"It was ten o'clock last night, I had gathered all the men, but they didn't send any man over and let my pigeons go. ”
"Oh?"
Huo Qing and Lin Kuotai glanced at each other, and it seemed that things were definitely not as simple as they imagined. Could it be that the people of the Urad Banner did not come here because they wanted the Arabel Banner to be cannon fodder? Or did they wait until the people of the Arabel Banner and the Barut Banner fought for defeat, and then they would reap the benefits of the fishermen? In any case, the current situation in the Arabel Banner is critical.
Lin Kuotai asked, "Huo Qing, you say, what should we do now?"
Huo Qing frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Respond to all changes with no change." ”
"What do you mean......"
"Raise our war horses well, no matter what happens, we can sit until we are prepared. ”
"Good. ”
In the current situation, Lin Kuoping cannot be put under house arrest, let alone killed. Otherwise, it will be a surprise to the snake, and it will be up to him to deal with the war tiger. It's to see what they have planned.
Huo Qing saw through Lin Kuotai's meaning at a glance, he took out a pill from his pocket and asked, "Lin Kuoping, do you know your mistake?"
Lin Kuoping glanced at Lin Kuotai and nodded, "I know it's wrong." ”
Huo Qing said: "Since you know that you are wrong, just eat this pill." When we get things settled, I'll give you the antidote. ”
"This ...... What kind of poison is this?"
"Then you don't care, I'll ask you, do you dare to eat it?"
"Uh......"
Now Lin Kuoping also understands that he laid chimpanzee beans on those war horses and strangled Lin Hansan, all of which are unforgivable. Lin Kuotai's temper, he knows, and it is very likely that he will directly correct the Fa on the spot. Lin Kuoping had no choice, he hesitated slightly, and finally swallowed the pill into his mouth.
Soon, a cold breath that froze to the bones entered his lower abdomen down his throat, and instantly swept through his limbs. He felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar...... No, this feeling of freezing was a hundred times stronger than that, and his teeth couldn't help but make a gadden gadden sound, and even his eyebrows were frosted.
"Ah......h
Gradually, Lin Kuoping's limbs stiffened, he couldn't bear the pain, and fell to the ground, frozen like a popsicle, unable to move.
This lasted for about five or six minutes, and Lin Kuoping suspected that he was about to freeze to death. Suddenly, a hot fire rose from the depths of his lower abdomen, and it spread to all parts of his body in an instant, along his strange meridians. Is it comfortable? Where is this comfortable, it is even more painful.
To use an analogy!
If a person's hands are frozen, they should first scrub them with cold chili water. Wait until the blood has eased up, and then it's okay. Don't put your hands in the hot tub directly, as that might destroy your hands. Anyway, Lin Kuoping feels like this now, his whole body seems to be burning, and even his skin is flushed with red.
This continued for another five or six minutes, and a cold sensation rose again from the depths of his lower abdomen...... One cold and one hot, this is the cycle repeatedly, torturing Lin Kuoping repeatedly. This kind of taste is even more terrible than the ten tortures of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. If it's just a hundred, give him a knife, or a shot, I'm afraid Lin Kuoping won't feel anything. However, facing death in such a constant cycle is like putting a mark on his heart, very scared, very afraid.
Finally, Huo Qing took out another pill and stuffed it into Lin Kuoping's mouth. After waiting like this for a while, Lin Kuoping's body could be considered to return to normal. However, there was fear in his eyes, and his body trembled from time to time, or he broke out in a hot sweat, as if he was still suffering from the pain of ice and fire.
Huo Qing said lightly: "Lin Kuoping, how is it? This tastes good, isn't it?"
Lin Kuoping said in a trembling voice: "Huo Qing, you ...... What kind of medicine are you giving me?"
"It was developed by myself, called the two heavens of ice and fire, so that you continue to reincarnate between ice and fire, is it refreshing?"
"You...... Are you going to wait until it's over, and you're going to help me detoxify?"
"Don't worry, I'll help you detoxify. However, don't make any other plans, only I can solve this poisoning, and if you don't believe it, you can go find someone to try. ”
"I believe, I believe. ”
What the hell, does Lin Kuoping dare not believe it?
Lin Kuotai was very satisfied with such an ending, and said loudly: "Let's go, let's go back to Lin's house immediately." ”
The current Alabell Banner, regardless of the situation in the Barut Banner or the Urad Banner, just sent out some people to look for Lin Ying'er and Sariqige and others. The others all returned to the tribe, training and taming horses. It's useless to say anything else, to speak hard with your fists.
However, Huo Qing was really tired, he and Lin Kuotai, Lin Kuoping returned to Alabel Banner, plunged into the yurt, and fell asleep. I don't know how long I slept, but Lin Xiongzi's voice came from outside, and he shouted in a low voice: "Huo Qing, the patriarch asked you to go over, and someone from Urad Banner is coming." ”
