For the name of White Wolf Village, Zhou Yulou is indeed no stranger, but he can't talk about it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

He clearly remembers that the first time he heard the name, it should have been no more than two years. When the White Wolf Village rose in the Central Plains and was popular near Daqing Lake, as a state and county near the Grand Canal, the only small city that could still be preserved, Acheng was lucky.

As Acheng's catcher, Zhou Yulou was naturally ordered to go out with his colleagues and searched for information about White Wolf Village.

Unlike Ah Cheng's current head-catching thunder sword, Zhou Yulou did not deal with it because he was afraid of encountering horse bandits, he and his colleagues went out to search together, and after not getting the slightest news, he took the opportunity to secretly go outside the city alone.

Sure enough, after several spies, Zhou Yulou unexpectedly encountered a cavalry sentry sent by the White Wolf Village on the plain. Although outsiders don't know that Zhou Yulou is equipped with martial arts, Zhou Yulou is still quite confident in himself. The so-called art masters are bold, and they follow the horsemen of the White Wolf Village all the way into the plain.

First, there was nowhere to hide in the plains, and although the deserted plains were full of weeds, it was tantamount to death for the sentry who was good at spying; Second, Zhou Yulou didn't dare to follow too closely, because after years of retirement, he almost forgot that he was also a person on the rivers and lakes back then; Moreover, the people in White Wolf Village are all fine riders, but they are not comparable to ordinary people's legs.

Rao is Zhou Yulou is light skills are quite famous in the Central Plains, and he is confident that he will only be faster than horses within a few miles, but beyond the range of dozens of miles, no matter how strong his skills are, Zhou Yulou has not yet reached the innate realm. The true qi in the body was not continuously supplied, and then it slowly lost to the other party on the plains.

Ren is Zhou Yulou does not give up, and he also knows that there are too many masters in the rivers and lakes, and he has been invisible for nearly 20 years, just to break through quietly. If the horse bandits in the White Wolf Village discover their whereabouts, it will undoubtedly bring ruin to Ah Cheng and cause endless troubles to themselves.

In between, he couldn't be too flamboyant and aggressive, so he kept it in his heart.

He was instructed by a master back then, and since then he has changed from an ordinary martial arts practitioner to a martial arts person who cultivates both inside and outside. Later, his continuous efforts and the understanding of this master's guidance made him a master of the Central Plains.

Although he got the guidance of this master, this unexpected and peerless fate made Zhou Yulou feel grateful. But this master is a famous figure in the rivers and lakes, but he did not accept Zhou Yulou as his disciple, which is the biggest regret in Zhou Yulou's heart.

Even if he became a famous master in the Central Plains, this master never admitted that he was his disciple. This may be the biggest obsession in Zhou Yulou's heart. In the past twenty years, even in his dreams, Zhou Yulou often dreamed that he was accepted as a disciple by this master.

Time flies, Zhou Yulou has become a famous master in the rivers and lakes, and this master is even more prestigious in the rivers and lakes, but Zhou Yulou has never seen him again. At this time, I suddenly heard the news of this person, and the excitement in my heart can be imagined.

Although Zhou Yulou has become a master and has made some fame in the rivers and lakes, after all, he has not been taught by that person for a long time. Even if he continues to work hard, he has already reached the extreme of an acquired martial artist over the years. He has been dormant for more than ten years to break through, but he has never been able to break through the last shackles and enter the innate realm that martial artists dream of.

Zhou Yulou vaguely knew that he needed an opportunity, or an external factor, although it was just speculation in his heart, in fact, this sudden realization was not far from China!

As the perception of the mind strengthens, the sensitivity of the surrounding affairs naturally increases. Since the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the situation has become clearer and clearer, there has been a great trend of unification in the Central Plains.

Zhou Yulou usually concentrates on cultivation, hides in the downtown of Acheng, and does his own things leisurely. Even though the surrounding environment has changed dramatically, I got a lot of unexpected news later, including the rise of White Wolf Village in the Central Plains. Zhou Yulou felt that there was no need, and deliberately pursued this group of horse bandits.

But he has also been waiting in Ah Cheng, waiting for a chance to break through, and a chance to understand it in the name of justice.

Although I don't know where the breakthrough point is, in fact, Zhou Yulou is getting closer and closer to this threshold.

Nature is the main way, and going with the flow will eventually become one.

Later, Zhou Yulou was also cultivating and conducting daily inspections, and he would slowly search around, and found some clues about the White Wolf Village, but it was not of great help to the understanding of the White Wolf Village.

But Zhou Yulou came to a conclusion that this group of people was a group of highly trained people, at least a group of orderly teams. To control this team, you definitely need a core character, a bold character.

A wolf who leads a flock of sheep can turn a flock into a wolf! A sheep with a pack of wolves will turn a pack of wolves into sheep!

Zhou Yulou is convinced of this truth!

In this part of the Central Plains, this group of people is either a group of remnants of the regular army that was lucky enough to survive the change of the imperial court. Either it was sent from the Khitans of the grassland, and Zhou Yulou preferred to believe that it was the Khitans, because only the Khitans had such elite horses.

And as a Khitan, there is definitely this possibility. Because they are in different seasons, as the Khitans who will be affected by the autumn and winter seasons, they can plunder material wealth in the Great Zhou, which is a good supplement.

And as cavalry deep into the Central Plains, they did not need supplies at all, there were supplies and resources everywhere. For the Khitans, a team of less than a thousand people can capture a large amount of supplies. Even if you take a step back, these people are all folded in the Central Plains, and they will not move the slightest root for the Khitan.

Of course, Zhou Yulou also questioned the actions of the White Wolf Village, because they were almost selective, and Zhou Yulou did not rule out that they did it on purpose, just to go deep into the hinterland and disturb the stability of the Great Zhou. Because there is another force involved in this, that is, the Northern Han Dynasty, which has always been attached to the Khitans.

For this regime that took over the power of the Later Han Dynasty from the Later Han Dynasty, they have always been unwilling to let the Guo family seize the rights of their Liu family. But because of the partial security, and the Liu family does not have a genius figure, even if there are some residual powers and talents of the year, but under the suppression of Guo Wei and Guo Rong, the two generations of genius emperors, the Northern Han Dynasty can only survive.

Therefore, being able to disrupt the actions of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and even cause interference to the Great Zhou court, must have been the hope of the small court of the Northern Han Dynasty. The Northern Han Dynasty was able to exist alone in the situation of being copied by the Great Wednesday, firstly, because the Great Zhou used him as a buffer with the Khitan, and secondly, the Northern Han still had a few rare genius generals.

Of course, Zhou Yulou did suspect that the horse bandits in White Wolf Village were a strange soldier sent by the Northern Han Dynasty. Because the Northern Han Dynasty, who has always been obsessed with the Great Zhou ruling the Central Plains, did not hesitate to obey the Khitan's words and plans like Shi Jingjiao of the Later Jin Dynasty back then. Because with the help of the Khitans, they felt that they could recover the lost territory in the Central Plains.

While everyone knows that they are using each other, it is clear that this use is beneficial to everyone.

After all, the Northern Han Dynasty never seemed to be separated from the Great Zhou, whether it was the personnel relationship between the two forces or the geographical inseparability, which made both sides understand each other very well. It is this understanding that makes both sides understand that without full certainty, and without allowing the fisherman to benefit, how to control the other party is the king.

The mutual interference between the two sides is obviously all-round. From the ordinary people's livelihood to the military of the border defense, and even the opposition of the DPRK and Chinese officials, it can be said that everything is done. Therefore, it is not strange for the Northern Han Dynasty to send cavalry to infiltrate the Great Zhou, and even feels that this is inevitable.

Because Zhou Yulou did not participate in the decision-making of the government, he did not have the consciousness and felt that he had the responsibility to pay much energy for the Great Zhou court. As long as it does not affect the improvement of his realm, and interferes with his leisure, Zhou Yulou will not care.

Even if it was the beginning of the spying, it was just out of the instinct of a Jianghu person, the so-called knowing that he would not be defeated in a hundred battles, this is already a habit, and he seems to like the feeling of everything under control. What's more, now that the surrounding state capitals are gone, if the White Wolf Village wants to attack the state capital, it is very likely that Ah Cheng will bear the brunt of the attack.

This will undoubtedly have an impact on Zhou Yulou, so he must know some information in advance.

Originally, because of the years of war, the people everywhere had no livelihood. In the relatively large towns of nearby states and counties, except for Liaocheng Mansion, only Acheng can still be spared. There are more than four Acheng in Liaocheng Mansion, and everyone knows which bone is hard.

Some people who are close to Liaocheng all go to Liaocheng to survive. Although the territory and urban area of Liaocheng Government are also limited, the government still accepts all the labor and soldiers sent by the government. As for the old, weak, sick and disabled who didn't have much use, they were naturally all rejected outside the city.

The lucky people, who have soldiers or coolies in their families, can follow them into the city to make a living. The only miserable thing is to stay outside the city, which is tantamount to waiting for death to suffer, but there is no way to do it.

Now it can be said that outside Liaocheng Mansion, hundreds of people are already stationed, and the tent stretches for no less than three or four miles.

Zhou Yulou saw it once at the beginning of the year, and on the same day, in order to escort the county order into Liaocheng Mansion, he personally saw the continuous flow of refugees outside Liaocheng Mansion. In addition to the shock, there is a kind of helplessness in the heart. I thought that if there was a real war, these people would undoubtedly be the first to be cannon fodder.

The world looked at everyone's pale and helpless faces, scrawny and crumbling bodies, and even more so that they were already dying. Every day, we see people dying and people being devoured by goshawk wild dogs.

And on the side of the same lonely city of Acheng, those who made a living on Daqing Lake that day were expelled by the imperial court one after another and landed on the shores around Daqing Lake. Although you can't be rich, you can still have a way to live.

Later, with the appearance and wanton raid of the White Wolf Village, coupled with some deliberate rendering by the government, the horse bandits in the White Wolf Village were simply heinous bad guys. Naturally, ordinary people were panicked, and now they can only run into Acheng, or survive next to Acheng.

The situation here is almost exactly the same as Liaocheng Mansion, and Ah Cheng is much smaller than Liaocheng Mansion, so naturally he feels even more pressure. But the people outside the city are still trying their best to come in and survive in Acheng, instinctively hoping to be sheltered by the lonely city of Acheng.

Zhou Yulou even believed that not to mention thousands of troops, as long as a horse team of several hundred people ran back and forth, no one would be spared those old, weak, sick and disabled outside the city.

"Seventeen young people are also the direct line of the Lei family, now Lord Thorn Shi is in charge of Liaocheng, although Ah Cheng is small and difficult to defend, but Ah Cheng is the foundation of the Lei family, presumably Lord Thorn Shi will definitely protect the family at all costs!" Zhou Yulou said lightly, looking at Lei Qingfeng's nervous face, he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart!

"Master Zhou's words are true!" Lei Qingfeng actually sighed, this tone seemed to contain too much helplessness, looking at Zhou Yulou as if he had made up his mind, he gritted his teeth and said tremblingly: "Zhou Ye has been in Acheng for decades, he may have overestimated the ignorance of the Lei family, and also underestimated the power of the White Wolf Village!" ”

"Oh!" Zhou Yulou was a little surprised, although he didn't know how Lei Qingfeng knew his master, but the secret hidden in his heart for nearly twenty years was contacted, and Zhou Yulou was still a little closer to Lei Qingfeng.

Zhou Yulou absolutely believed in the ability of that master, but he was also quite curious in his heart, how did the master he knew intersect with the White Wolf Village? How many secrets does the White Wolf Village contain that others don't know. Otherwise, as Lei Qingfeng, it is impossible to know too many secrets and insider information, and it is obvious that he was moved to say this.

"Probably! A certain family has indeed been in Acheng for too long, and some of them are sitting in wells and watching the sky! Seventeen rarely has something to say, and a certain family wants to listen to it! Zhou Yulou instead raised his eyebrows and looked at Lei Qingfeng with an encouraging smile.

It was quiet all around, and occasionally there was a horn from the water village.

Although Lei Qingfeng was still a little flustered, his eyes looked around, but when he saw Zhou Yulou's calm face, he remembered what the man said, and his heart calmed down a little. "Zhou Ye usually walks in Acheng, have you noticed that those people are different from ordinary people!" He asked cautiously.

"Hmm!" Hearing Lei Qingfeng's question, Zhou Yulou was stunned, looking at his tentative look, his heart couldn't help but move, and his voice lowered: "What do you mean, Acheng also has spies from White Wolf Village?" ”

Although he seems to have nothing to do, he actually knows little Ah Cheng very well, whether it is people or events, he is almost in control.

Saying this, Zhou Yulou suddenly realized, if it wasn't for Lei Qingfeng knowing something, would he be so anxious!

However, with the rapid increase in the population of the city in the past two years, there are indeed many people and many things that are no longer under Zhou Yulou's control. Thinking of this, Zhou Yulou's eyelids fluttered, knowing that he had indeed neglected the sinister on the rivers and lakes. And the Lei family is the head snake of Ah Cheng after all, and they must know more than themselves.

Lei Qingfeng didn't answer, looking at Zhou Yulou's expression, there seemed to be a sense of pride on his face, but he thought that he had come to ask Zhou Yulou for something. He immediately restrained his expression, and saw that Zhou Yulou didn't seem to notice anything unusual, and he couldn't help but feel a little at ease.

Immediately, he whispered: "I don't know how the second uncle feels in his heart, but he actually discussed with the fourth uncle to send all the clansmen to Liaocheng!" Imagine that there are white wolf village horse bandits everywhere now, and the officers and soldiers of the imperial court have no way to take these people, isn't this sending sheep into the tiger's mouth! ”

The second uncle he said is Lei Yi, the contemporary patriarch of the Lei family, and the fourth uncle is now the assassin of Liaocheng Mansion. Lei Yan has been sitting in Acheng, although he has not held any position, but the patriarch is the patriarch. Even Red, who served as a thorn in history, had to look at the look of this cousin.

Obviously, the Lei family is not at ease, and the safety of Xiao Acheng is no longer the final word of the Lei family. Lei Yi, as the patriarch, and Lei De, as the leader of the clan, are the clansmen with the highest positions in the court, and they want to send everyone in the clan to Liaocheng Mansion.

Although Liaocheng Mansion is also an isolated city, after all, it is much bigger than Ah Cheng, as the main decision-maker of the Lei family, as the speaker of Liaocheng Mansion, Lei De must first think of protecting his family and relatives. Of course, Lei Qingfeng's words represent this decision, and it is obviously the decision of the entire Lei family.

But I don't know why, Lei Qingfeng is not interested in this action, but is very worried. In the Lei family's status, Lei Qingfeng is not ranked in the top ten, but he obviously knows something.

Zhou Yulou understood that the Lei family obviously wanted to give up Acheng and stick to Liaocheng Mansion. And Lei Qingfeng was skeptical about the Lei family's ability, of course, this was not the only reason. Did he know something, or did he know what kind of danger he didn't know?

For a person with rich experience in the rivers and lakes, Zhou Yulou had no doubts about the current grim situation in Acheng. He did not suspect that Lei Qingfeng and White Wolf Village were colluding, but he did not rule out that he at least understood.

Zhou Yulou looked at Lei Qingfeng, seeing that his expression was a little excited, he vaguely knew what the problem was, although he was not sure yet, but he also knew that it would basically not be too bad.

"The dignified son of the Lei family, the nephew of Lord Assassin Shi of Liaocheng Mansion, the partial general of the Daqing Lake Water Village Water Army of the Great Zhou Dynasty, actually colluded with the horse bandits of the White Wolf Village?" Zhou Yulou's voice seemed to have penetrating power, looking at the young man in front of him, he did not politely deter Lei Qingfeng, which is also a common trick used to arrest and interrogate prisoners quickly.

What is strange is that Lei Qingfeng did not refute immediately, nor did he change color because of this, but just looked at Zhou Yulou quietly. It seems that Zhou Yulou is not talking about himself, he looks at Daqing Lake and seems to be confident.

"Where does Zhou Ye think Acheng and Liaocheng are safer!" Lei Qingfeng suddenly asked a strange question, and for the first time, he put his hands behind his back, and stood there with a bit of momentum.

"Where is safer!" Zhou Yulou seemed to be slightly stunned, and looked at Lei Qingfeng, as if he knew him for the first time. Looking at his expression, he was a little more appreciative: "This is not something that can be done depending on the power of the state capital, in the eyes of the horse bandits of the White Wolf Village, these two cities are nothing!" Zhou Yulou said slowly: "For an army that is good at horse warfare, attacking a city is tantamount to suicide, they obviously won't do such a boring thing!" ”

Looking at Lei Qingfeng's indifferent expression, Zhou Yulou appreciated him a little more, and continued: "Since there is a rumor that your Lei family has made a choice, it means that those old men of your Lei family must have received some rumors!" A certain family has observed this group of horse bandits, if they want to take Acheng and Liaocheng, as long as there is an internal response, it will not take an hour to take the city! ”

If others hear this, they won't be scared and their legs will weaken. Who wouldn't have thought that with the cover of the city, they would be at ease with the horse bandits.

"Why hasn't the White Wolf Village taken Liaocheng Mansion and Acheng all the time, because it doesn't do them the slightest benefit!" Lei Qingfeng actually said: "They are good at horse warfare, if they use their poor numbers to hold the city, it will be the most stupid decision and a dead end!" ”

"Now that they have this idea, it means that now the two cities have worked for them!" Zhou Yulou's eyes lit up, as if he suddenly thought of something, he looked at Lei Qingfeng with a surprised face, and said in a lost voice: "Do they want to cut off the retreat of the Great Zhou Water Army!" ”

You must know that this time, the emperor drove the expedition in person, but half of the naval army of the Great Zhou Dynasty was driven to the Grand Canal, and the rest were south of Huainan, and now they are fighting against the army of the Southern Tang Dynasty. If the return of the Great Zhou Navy's army is cut off, although it will not be a dead end, it will at least be a huge blow.

Lei Qingfeng clasped his fists and saluted Zhou Yulou, and also looked at the surface of Daqing Lake, where it was calm and peaceful. There was no hidden rapids in sight, but it seemed to be quiet before the storm.

He said quietly: "Zhou Ye is also an acquaintance of the master, and he is a person worthy of trust, otherwise the master would not have personally asked a certain family to come to Zhou Ye." In fact, a certain family is indecisive, and it really can't give up the wife and children at home. Don't hide it from Zhou Ye, a certain family will quietly leave their family in Acheng, hoping to take care of the old mother and children for a certain family when the conflict comes! ”

Zhou Yulou looked at the calm lake, but his mind was already full of the shadow of that master. As for what Lei Qingfeng said, although it was in his ears, he didn't take most of it to heart.

Howl!

A long hiss, like a split sun!

The calm surface of the lake suddenly rippled, and it seemed that wolves howled everywhere. Faintly shocking, looking for the place where the sound came from, but I don't know where it is.

The grass on the shore seemed to tremble, and there was a muffled thunderous movement, as if someone was standing in the sky, treating the ground as a big drum, beating the trembling ground vigorously.

The sound from far and near, but it shocked people's hearts, and the huge sound was getting closer and closer. It seemed that I saw the dark clouds covering the sun again, the smoke and dust were everywhere, and the sky seemed to be like a sandstorm, and a group of teams rushed over in the black.

Ah Cheng didn't seem to have much reaction yet, and a large convoy was slowly driving out of the east gate. The queue stretches endlessly, and the east gate is the direction of the opening to Liaocheng Mansion.

The convoy is planted with the Lei family's flag with black letters on a red background, which is the local Lei family's convoy in Acheng. The convoy stretched endlessly, all grim-faced, but no one dared to stop the team. Because the Acheng County Commander is Lei Yifeng of the Lei family, he is personally standing under the city gate, guiding the team to leave Acheng.

Acheng's head-catching thunder sword stood even more with a knife, commanding a few people to isolate the people quickly and prevent the people outside from taking the opportunity to enter the city in chaos.

The troops by the Great Qing Lake did not affect the actions of the Lei family, because it was an army of the Great Zhou court. Standing side by side with the banner of the Great Zhou Dynasty is the banner of the Lei family. Under the huge banner with black letters on a red background, it was Lei Di of the Lei family who stood on horseback, and he is now the commander of the horse army of Liaocheng Mansion.

In order to welcome the family members to Liaocheng Mansion, he personally led three hundred elite horsemen to Daqing Lake to welcome his family to Liaocheng Mansion.

A large group of horses were galloping over quickly, and the flying hooves kicked the grass and dirt, shaking the waters of Daqing Lake. The man on the horse was heroic, grinning like a wolf.
