After leaving Zhendingfu, the mountains gradually became more rugged, and the terrain became more and more barren, although the mountains were still covered with green, but the forests were not dense, and the pine trees gradually increased. Sometimes from a distance, the mountains seem to be covered with only a layer of lichen, for Lou Shuwan, who is accustomed to seeing the green fields of the south of the Yangtze River, such a scenery makes her feel a little desolate and barbaric - of course, since she took refuge in Tian Hu, she has never felt safe and steady in her heart, and the tension in her heart has always been consistent, and the illusion that she will be betrayed at any time has been consistent, and there is no time to solve.

"How long is it from Ji County?"

"It's going to take about half a day." When Lou Shuwan, who was on the horse, turned around and asked, the burly man next to him approached on a horse and replied with a respectful expression. This man's surname is Qiu, his name is Guyan, he is a master under Tian Hu, Lou Shuwan showed his financial management and management skills, and after gaining Tian Hu's trust, he transferred Qiu Guyan to her as a guard and deputy. For a few months, this Qiu Guyan has a calm and quiet personality, and he has not disobeyed Lou Shuwan's orders, and the two sides get along well.

"Since it is not far away, I will go to Ji County first and arrange accommodation and food. The third prince and General Yu don't know when they will arrive, and we will probably have to stay for a few days. ”

"Yes." Lou Shuwan gave the order, and Qiu Guyan immediately sent someone. Looking back, there was a team of more than 100 people walking at the foot of the mountain, carrying several truckloads of goods all the way forward. These people are all elite soldiers under Tian Hu, and as the leader, Lou Shuwan is riding on a horse in a gray-yellow cloak at this time. Although it is not easy for her to establish herself in the Tian Hu Army as a woman, she is in charge of part of the financial power at this time. If you want to be more comfortable in a big car, others will not say anything. However, since her position in Tian Hu's army has gradually been firmly established, she has gradually given up the habit of riding in a car, once she goes out, no matter how far or near she will inevitably ride a horse, and at the same time, she also carries a dagger day and night at the place where her waist is most accessible.

She has no martial arts, and even if her strength has a certain amount of exercise, she can't compare to ordinary men. Bring a dagger, don't hurt anyone. Just when necessary. It can be used to commit suicide - whether she dares to do it or not when the time comes, but this is indeed the original intention of her to bring the dagger, and occasionally when she touches the dagger sheath when she makes a decision, she will feel a little more power out of thin air.

Actually, of course, that's an illusion. really sheltered her from being bullied in Tian Hu's army. It was the influence of the Jin king Tian Hu himself.

When he had just fallen into the sphere of influence of Tian Hu's army. She and Lou Shuheng, who fled all the way, have reached the point of exhaustion. As a man, Lou Shuheng herself had collapsed, but she gritted her teeth and seized an opportunity to appear in front of Tian Hu. Mao Sui recommended himself to come up with some ideas for the other party - Tian Hu was originally a hunter, and later Luocao occupied a large territory, and his ability was there, but his knowledge was limited after all. After the bandits occupied the land, in the transformation from occupation to governance, talents were scarce, and Lou Shuwan was valued for this, which was similar to the situation that the Lou family was valued by Fang La in Hangzhou City.

At the same time, she has the ability to look good, she is a beautiful woman, and her upbringing and knowledge are not comparable to those of some local turtles. Tian Hu's original idea was to accept her into the harem, which was the most reassuring, but Lou Shuwan refused several times, with a firm attitude, Tian Hu was open-minded, and at the same time, he was unwilling to lose a talent to help do things, and he didn't use it - in fact, Tian Hu didn't understand, in Lou Shuwan's heart, if he really couldn't avoid it, he would have to push it halfway. After she experienced those things, she had a huge disgust for men, thinking that they were ugly, but this disgust was not enough for Cheng Dù, who protected chastity with her life, after all, the so-called chastity, whether physical or psychological, she had already lost.

Tian Hu did not use force, and after that, Lou Shuwan received a lot of convenience in Tian Hu's army, sometimes pulling the tiger skin as a big banner, and posing as "Tian Hu's mistress" to imply that other men who were interested in her also restrained a little. Therefore, for more than a year, her life in Tian Hu's army has basically been smooth. Except for the second brother who has been wandering around the Qinglou all day long, she only cares about the various things at hand that the Tiger King has explained.

After staying away from men, she suddenly found that women feel very good about doing things. Although there were still people who looked at her with the kind of eyes that wanted to strip her naked, she didn't care, what if she was stripped naked, the same thrust and thrust, and then she rolled her eyes as if she was dead, a poor thing dominated by her lower body. It's like the people who were killed after doing those things to her...... When they were done, she found the dagger and killed them all. For that moment, his eyes rolled and he didn't even have his life, men are stupid pigs. Did you really lose anything...... She thought about it once in a while, and then she couldn't help but laugh until she burst into tears.

Only occasionally when she dreams back at midnight, she will think of a certain figure, like a nightmare-that figure called Ning Liheng, her feelings for him at the beginning, even if there is a certain infatuation, it is not very deep, but what happened later left too many imprints on her memory, the death of her father and brother, the destruction of her family, and the misery of being displaced all the way were because of that figure. When she thought of him, it was difficult for her to think of revenge in the first place.

She knew that he had destroyed Liangshan, but she didn't know what he was doing now, so she had no idea what she wanted to take revenge. He has been doing it under Tian Hu, and maybe one day, he will face him head-on, but even if he thinks about it like this, he can't imagine what it will look like at that time. Only some bizarre conjectures that could not be spoken to others would seem clear, and she remembered the tragic experiences, the way the man thrust and thrust on her, and then she could kill him, the swagger of his might in front of him when he succeeded, and the various abuses he made after defeat—every time she did, the conjectures became more and more bizarre. When I woke up, it was mostly early in the morning, sweating profusely, the quilt was soaked, the desire was blazing, and the lower body was soft like a mire, and then I could only lie on my side alone until dawn.

Maybe one day, she will kill him, or he will kill her. This should be the only place where the two belong.

Of course, going to Luliang Mountain this time does not involve such complicated feelings.

Regarding the area of Luliang, Tian Hu had the intention to extend his strength at the beginning of the incident. That place is no better than the Central Plains or Hebei. Located on the border line, the people of the land that have been washed by blood for many years are fierce, and there are many scattered forces, and it is difficult to apply the general green forest rules here. After all, rules are such a thing as a thing to keep everyone from dying together under the drive of desire, but in this land, most of the people who can survive are outlaws, whether they abide by the rules or not, they may die at any time, and the meaning of the rules is not very big.

The reasons for this phenomenon are complex, but the most direct cause lies in the grass valleys on both sides. The Liao people regarded the people of this place as pigs and dogs. The warriors regarded its inhabitants as unruly savages and unruly people. Occasionally, larger forces will arise here, but most of them are hostile and relatively closed, and then easily dispersed. Because no matter how great your power is. It can't compare to the armies on both sides. After Tian Hu's tentacles reached over. It also took some effort to attract a large number of companions here, but his power is very large for a single cottage. But for Luliang, a piece of land that was originally fragmented like scattered sand, it is really difficult to say where to exert force, so there has been nothing to talk about progress.

Of course, extending the power to Luliang in the northwest has always been a icing on the cake for Tian Hu, and even if the progress is not big, it doesn't matter. However, in the past year or so, the situation in Luliangshan has changed a lot compared with before, which makes Tian Hu can't help but pay attention again.

A village called Qingmu Village has continued to grow and develop in Luliang in the past two years, and even managed to open up the smuggling business routes on both sides and obtained huge benefits, which is really coveted. At the beginning of the development of Qingmu Village, Cao Hong, a subordinate of Tian Hu, had noticed this, and he instigated the split of Qingmu Village, trying to take the opportunity to seize Qingmu Village, but later he was killed by the female owner of the village with strong martial arts.

This kind of thing was enough for the two sides to form a bond, but Tian Hu felt that it was quite troublesome to go deep into Luliang to avenge this kind of thing. He is still a relatively single person, everyone came out to mix, he had to admit that he had done wrong, he was beaten upright, and the generals on his side instigated rebellion in the past, but he was not successfully killed, and he had to swallow the matter. However, after such a long time after this incident, the development of Lu Liangshan is still expanding, and it has changed from a fragrant bun to a pot of fragrant buns, so he can't help but make up his mind again.

It is said that the female owner of the Qingmu Village with strong martial arts is old, and she has not yet married in her twenties, so she will marry - this marriage is different from the previous one, and the bargaining chip prepared by Tian Hu here is Tian Shi, who is known as the third prince in the army. Tian Hu's family has three brothers, namely Tian Hu, Tian Bao, and Tian Biao, Tian Shi is the son of Tian Biao, with good martial arts, and he is also good-looking, a talent, once married, the two sides are a family. And Tian Hu's side is full of sincerity, Tian Shi is not the one who married a wife in the past, as long as the other party nods, Tian Shi is in Qingmu Village, and he will never let the other party marry.

In addition, everyone has studied the fortune model of Aoki Village. Generally speaking, once the forces of Luliangshan are formed, they are often bitter and extremely xenophobic, so they are not pleasing in any way. But after the development of Aoki Village, it is very good, the nearby Wu Dynasty military often receives the other party's share of profits, the sweetness is really a lot, for some insatiable guys, Aoki Village is also a combination of vertical and horizontal, divided and attacked, and even has a clear understanding of the details of many generals in the military, so it can gradually gain a foothold.

Such a village owner, although he is a woman, is obviously very powerful in his control of interests. Simply sending a man may not be able to satisfy the other party, therefore, in addition to Tian Shi, Lou Shuwan used to be a lobbyist, and both parties are capable women, so they should be easier to talk in this regard.

If the situation is chaotic today, and the imperial court is busy recruiting various mountain bandit forces in the north, it is obvious that the Wu Dynasty's internal control has reached the limit. With the strength of the Tiger King, once he joins hands with Aoki Village, with such financial resources from the north and south, he will definitely be able to make a great career in the future.

This kind of rhetoric, Lou Shuwan had prepared it before, and it was constantly being improved in the past few days, of course, after meeting the owner of the village named Lu Hongti.

That night, she and the convoy carrying the dowry stopped in Ji County in front of them, waiting for the arrival of the third prince Tian Shi and Tian Hu's general Yulin - although Tian Hujun made a decision, Tian Shi himself was also arrogant, and he was not very reluctant to enter this kind of thing, he basically came here to investigate the situation of Lu Hongti in the attitude of running away from home. As for Yu Yulin, it was Tian Hu who sent him out to arrest him and wanted to press him to Luliang and his relatives.

At this time, the place is close to Luliang, Ji County is a big county, although in the eyes of Jiangnan people like Lou Shuwan, it seems very desolate, but there are indeed a lot of people. This is a diversion point to the north, after which people must choose to go to Yanmen Pass to exit normally, or to smuggle out to Luliang Mountain. Before the smuggling passage of Luliang flourished. Ji County was about half the size of today. In other words, its prosperity has suddenly swelled in the last year or two.

For such reasons. Every qiē in the county town is still full of barbarism. Pedestrians are three and nine streams. Most of them carry knives on their bodies, and it seems that no one is a good person. Even the merchants in the past have a murderous and bloody aura on them. The advent of smuggling roads prospered goods. However, the security guarantee has not been improved much, and if some people take the liberty to come and do not have a specific channel to guide them, most of them will not find a way to pass the customs. The most prosperous places are often Qinglou and knife shops, most of the forces have their own settlements, only the military and Han dare to walk arrogantly sideways in various places, but basically will not touch the local forces. The power of the government is very small - because there are few people who dare to come here to take office, and in the early years there were even those who were killed and hung on the flagpole, and the forces here all have the same characteristics, high-profile, flamboyant, and crazy, and then they rise up in batches, plunder the surroundings, eat and drink spicy, and then go quiet in batches......

Lou Shuwan stayed in Ji County until the fifth day, and Tian Shi and Yu Yulin came here with more than 200 soldiers. During this period of time, Lou Shuwan has also heard a lot about the female owner of Qingmu Village, it is said that she is strong in martial arts, has reached the realm of grandmasters, and now has a very high degree of control over the village, and wants to sow discord to split the village, it is impossible for the time being, in addition, it is said that she is very beautiful, so there are many people who propose to Qingmu Village in recent times, and even faintly rumored that the other party has the idea of recruiting relatives in martial arts - there are rumors outside, but I don't know if it is true or false.

In Tian Hu's army, there are also people who have seen Lu Hongti, but this time Lou Shuwan can't find anyone. Tian Shi's route was different, obviously he asked a familiar person, and after learning that Lu Hongti's martial arts were strong and beautiful, he became interested. He is twenty-five years old this year, his martial arts are good, and he is also handsome, ordinary women are tired of playing, Tian Hu occupies a place, and he has also played a lot of those crying and crying ladies, and at this time he seems to have the idea of conquering Lu Hongti - after all, this world is dominated by men, although it is in the name of entering the past, but with his own ability, he may not be able to conquer her......

That evening, the two groups met and met with each other. That Yu Yulin, as a general that Tian Hu relied on, was also quite a heroic person, he was in his thirties, strong in martial arts, and had a calm personality. If the other party can't look at Tian Shi, probably he also has the intention to do it. It was not the first time that Lou Shuwan had met them, and the day after the meeting, everyone set off from camp, and more than 300 people marched in the direction of Luliang Mountain.

On the other hand, after Lou Shuwan and the others left, a convoy of more than 100 people on Ning Yi's side also approached Ji County.

"After the front piece, it is useless to be an official." At dusk, the convoy camped, Zhu Biao pointed to the foothills in the north, turned back to Ning Yi and the others and said, "Luliang's side is even more chaotic than our Dulonggang side, those who can speak are either the army or the bandits, the common people are not without it, but if there is no power, the land can't be planted." You have to be careful when it's over, people can't be left alone, people here are ruthless. ”

“…… Although it is not good to say this, it is better to deal with the martial artists here than to deal with the literati. Ning Yi stood on the stone, covered his eyebrows and looked forward, "Literati, this thing, many times speak ambiguously, and after receiving money, they still cheat with you, and they don't recognize it when they turn their heads." Martial artists are much better, although they are greedy, but they do things when they receive money, they are very single, I still like them. After he finished speaking, he sighed: "However, it does look a little desolate...... Shanxi, ah......"

"Senior Lu's family is here, and I have always felt ...... It's not easy. ”

Zhu Biao sighed like this, and several martial artists in charge of the team around him also showed similar looks. Half of the warriors who followed Ning Yi up this time were from Liangshan at the beginning, and they were also trained in the camp on the Dulonggang side. When Lu Hongti was still there, he fought with them in the camp and beat them. At this time, most of the people have repented, their mentality has changed greatly, and Lu Hongti's status as a grandmaster has a lot of respect for her. It's just that for everyone's sympathy, Ning Yi pursed his lips and sneered.

"What's not easy, although it sounds like a rumor, but even the rumors of martial arts competitions have come out, and when I pass, I have to criticize her."

The sun was setting, although he said such words in his mouth, but when he thought of Lu Hongti's appearance, his heart still felt warm like the sun shining on his face, if he really ran to talk about her, would she still be like a little daughter-in-law, sitting on the edge of the bed and letting herself talk. After thinking about it for a while, he was as calm as him, and he couldn't help but look forward to it in his heart. And as he said, the army collected the money and got things done—as long as it wasn't fighting with the Liao—was basically dedicated, and now that the Liao State was destroyed, the next Luliang Mountain would have a rare opportunity to rest for several years...... A qiē is ahead. (To be continued......)
