Chapter 528: Heroes and Heroes (Part II)
Lou Shuwan saw Ning Yi again in the col that afternoon. But the ensuing development was not something she had clearly expected, or rather, after seeing the figure again in the col in the afternoon, she had fallen into confusion and did not make any contribution to the development of the matter. But it is not an exaggeration to say that she is the cause of the matter.
Lou Shuwan, Tian Shi, Yu Yulin and others entered Luliang Mountain, about a day earlier than Ning Yi's trip. After entering the mountain, the first thing to look for is the small ringing horse Qiu Mengtang.
This is a force that King Tian Hu of Jin had been exposed to two years earlier. As a big thief who can entrench in one place, although later generations described Tian Hu as a hunter, he was already a famous underworld lord long before the incident. In the northern area, the closer to Yanmen Pass, the more chaotic the public order, the strength of the government is weak, and the army is strong, but their status is low, and under the control of civilian officials, it is not easy to make money, and they are too lazy to manage the local chaos.
Of course, there are deeper reasons for this, such as the fact that the imperial court recruited traitors from the Liao State, such as Dong Pang'er, and placed them all in the north...... In short, in such a chaotic situation, Tian Hu is easy to stretch his tentacles everywhere, and Lu Liangshan is the place where he has already had his heart to start, but of course, it is not to say how urgent this mood is.
The situation in Luliangshan, to be honest, is too chaotic. The land here is barren, the people are fierce, and there are endless outlaws, if you can master this place, of course, there are advantages, but the reality is that it is basically impossible to control here. This reason. After Ning Yi once understood, he knew very well.
To say how powerful the people in Luliang Mountain really are, it is actually false. If these outlaws, who are so manic all day long, shouting that they cannibalism and kill, it is certainly terrifying to face ordinary people, but if a slightly more regular army kills them, they are basically unable to resist. The Liao people come to the grass valley once in a while, and the resistance in the mountains is definitely not something to sing or cry about. The army sent by Tian Hu can definitely fight a large area if they stop here. Rise to great majesty. But then? They hid in the mountains. Hide anywhere they can, but ...... They are reluctant to cooperate.
Of course, there are many reasons for not wanting to cooperate, xenophobia is only one of them, and the most troublesome thing is not enough to eat. Assuming that Tian Hu really wanted to occupy this side - not to mention the difficulty - he would first have to consider the problem of eating so many people. And here is a chicken rib that can't feed so many people. Smuggling, of course, can make a little money. But then came . That's a big problem.
Suppose that there is a force that unifies Lu Liang and feeds so many people, then this place will become a piece of cake. Although it is said that the Luliang Mountain is rugged. It is far less flat than Yanmen Pass, but after reunification, it is equivalent to fighting with the military who control Yanmen Pass. The forces that want to benefit, no one will let go of this place, at that time, Lu Liang can still only face contention and destruction, and once he falls into such a competition, Lu Liang will inevitably enter chaos again. Under the cycle, LΓΌliang has no foundation for unity and peace at all.
It is also for this reason that when Ning Yi first proposed advice to Hong, he emphasized that the surrounding areas of Luliang must not be unified, and the surrounding areas must continue to be chaotic, even if they are miserable, they can only watch. Only in such a situation, coupled with the bribery of the military at Yanmen Pass, will the other party turn a blind eye to this road of Lu Liang. On the premise of maintaining the chaos in the surrounding area, Aoki Village was able to show their benevolence in it, whether it was saving people or giving alms, and at the same time gather the strongest group of people in Luliang Mountain to become the de facto rulers of this place.
This strategy is actually quite dark, but there is no way, even if Ning Yi is there in person, he can only act like this. The light is gratifying, but Lu Liangshan can only live in such darkness for the time being, at most, a few fewer deaths.
Ning Yi can only do this, how much vision Tian Hu can have. Because of Luliang's scattered sand, it was easy for Tian Hu to reach in, but after reaching in, he had to provide materials and assistance, and he couldn't get output. And often he showed goodwill and raised a force of Lu Liang, and within half a year, this boss was cut down by his subordinates or enemies, for a variety of strange and inexplicable reasons. For people who want to do big things, it's a mixed feeling. Over time, he could only look at this place, and he couldn't put too much thought into it.
Xiaoxiang Ma Qiu Mengtang was randomly raised under such circumstances. Because of his strong martial arts, he is still standing for more than two years, and Tian Hu is of course happy to give some assistance and form a good fate. This time, Lou Shuwan and others went into the mountain to find the Blood Bodhisattva to do business, which was an opportunity to use people.
It's just that although he has formed a good fate, Qiu Mengtang is also quite enthusiastic about Lou Shuwan and others, but Qiu Mengtang, who has been a horse bandit in the mountains and forests for a long time, does not feel that his status is lower than that of Tian Hu's subordinates.
ββ¦β¦ Aoki Village has been booming recently, but I'm afraid that the Tiger King has thought a little wrong about these things. Qiu Mou is a native of Luliang, for so many years, licking blood from the knife edge, carrying his head to kill, he knows best what Luliang Mountain is like...... I tell you that you can only take advantage of things on the road for a while...... Blood Bodhisattva? You wait and see, a woman, on Luliang Mountain, what about her strong martial arts, am I Qiu Mengtang afraid of her? In less than two or three years, you will never see this person again. Either someone killed or ...... Hehe, it's for people to keep and play after being disabled...... Maybe someone did it, and maybe ...... It's my little ringing horse Qiu Mengtang. β
When he said these things, he showed a disapproving smile, and then said: "Of course, it has been rumored recently, she wants to compete in martial arts to recruit relatives, which is a good move." Women, they always have to find a man. With a man, there are multiple backers. Since everyone is interested, I will also follow to take a look, I didn't have a chance to fight in previous years, this time...... I'd like to try her depths for myself, haha......"
In all fairness, Xiao Xiangma's ideas are not without reason, but the most important thing is to compete with Tian Shi and others, and express his dissatisfaction with Tian Hu's desire to cooperate with Aoki Village. As the mountain boss of Luliang, he respects the tiger king who is entrenched in one place. But the Tiger King wants to form an alliance with Aoki Village, which shows that he is not optimistic about himself. His own village is currently not as good as Aoki, but Lu Liang is so chaotic, feng shui takes turns, a woman can be on the throne, and so can herself. In such a state of mind, he no longer pays attention to too much politeness and becomes quite aggressive.
The alliance with Qingmu Village is now in charge of Lou Shuwan, and Tian Shi has made psychological preparations for entering Qingmu Village. In such a situation, everyone accepted Qiu Mengtang's hospitality with a smile. On the one hand, I feel that this guy is really not very peaceful. Gotta bang good. In the chat, Qiu Mengtang was also a little curious about Lou Shuwan. After all, this woman is from everyone's beautiful background, mixed in a group of strongmen. It has its own strength. Especially after so many things. The change of mentality makes it naturally have a cold charm. Qiu Mengtang is a mountain man, and it is difficult to rob any ladies in Luliang Mountain, not to mention Lou Shuwan, a big family in the south of the Yangtze River. In a nutshell. I kind of miss her.
The two sides seemed to get along happily until the next day, and Lou Shuwan and others learned a lot about Lu Liangshan from Qiu Mengtang. Soon after noon, the minions came to report that someone from Aoki Village was about to borrow the road, and she naturally wanted to go and see it with her own eyes.
I saw Ning Yi.
At that time, everyone stayed at the mouth of the col, and the horse team of Zhuji passed from the side, and because of the direction of the light, it was impossible to see the people in the col. Lou Shuwan didn't expect to see that figure at all, and for a while she wondered if she was wrong, she stared at it for a long time, and even staggered off the horse and followed for a while. After making sure that nightmarish impression had become a real person, she looked in a trance. Qiu Mengtang, Tian Shi, Yu Yulin and others naturally saw it and asked about it suspiciously. Lou Shuwan's mood couldn't be suppressed at all, and after returning to the village, Qiu Mengtang and the others guessed and asked: "Do you have an old relationship with those people?" β
Lou Shuwan shook her head suddenly, gritted her teeth and replied: "There is a grudge." β
At that time, she was sitting on a chair in the cottage lobby, her head tilted slightly, and when the sun shone in, there was a suffocating coldness on her side face. It's just that the fundus of the eyes is complicated. Where could Qiu Mengtang stand this, and spread his hands indifferently: "Then I did him." β
The playboy Tian Shi actually had some thoughts about Lou Shuwan, and replied, "Is it okay?" β
"It's just a caravan, I'm enough to give Aoki Village face, but sometimes it's inevitable that there will be a little accident, and after I'm done, I'll personally come to the door to explain to the Blood Bodhisattva, what else can she do." Qiu Mengtang said, "What's more, the rivers and lakes are in the rivers and lakes, it is the rule of the rivers and lakes to have grievances and revenge, and everyone is a guest from afar, so you can't make Miss Lou unhappy, right?" β
Lou Shuwan tilted her head, she tried her best to calm her thoughts, but the first voice came out, almost hoarse: "This...... This is not very good, Qiu Zhai Master, he didn't find out his truth clearly, let alone ...... What's more, you have a covenant with Aoki Village, and it's not for my sake...... It's a mess like this......"
In the audience, Yu Yulin was a person who could really take ideas from Tian Hu's family, and smiled at this time: "That's right, but the owner of Qiu Zhai is also right, there is a grudge to repay the grudge and revenge, the master of the Qiu village, it may be better for us to come to this matter ourselves." β
ββ¦β¦ Actual situation? Qiu Mengtang pursed his lips, and for Yulin's words, he just waved his hand simply, and didn't bother to discuss, "It's just more than a hundred people!" β
He turned around and went out: "Little ones, order people, go out and do a vote." β
And that's where the whole thing begins.
And with Qiu Mengtang's dispatch, Lou Shuwan, who followed the past, was also infected by that fanatical breath, and couldn't hold back her thoughts. She couldn't figure out what this sudden day meant to her, and it was difficult to retain her sanity in dealing with things under Tian Hu's tent. The scene of catching the other party subconsciously appeared in her heart, and the various treatment methods after grabbing Ning Yi appeared irrepressibly in her heart, there was pleasure and pain in her heart, she couldn't think of what to say at the first sight of him, but some pictures couldn't help but emerge: the way he grabbed him, the way he killed all the people around him, the way he looked when he was humiliated, his reaction when he scolded him, and the way he begged for mercy.
The body trembled under the cloak like that.
It wasn't until the time of tea after the battle, under the sunset, because of the restlessness of his side, that reason began to return to the body coldly......
****************
Lou Shuwan couldn't understand the complex battlefield, but Qiu Mengtang had already sent someone to call for reinforcements, and Yu Yulin and Tian Shi had already seen that the situation was inappropriate, and they were mobilizing more than 300 elites. Looking at the mountains over there, the corpses and blood that spread over the mountains. Qiu Mengtang's men, even in the eyes of a layman, seem to have lost half. And the man named Ning Yi was moving away in an orderly manner.
For a long time, Lou Shuwan has been working under Tian Hu, and she has heard rumors about Ning Yi. opened a cloth shop in the capital, and then broke Liangshan and broke the name of a demon. The rivers and lakes seem to take this matter very seriously, and Lou Shuheng even completely cut off the idea of revenge after hearing about it, laughing at her inadequacy. But Lou Shuwan herself still has reason, what forty people broke Liangshan, but they just borrowed the momentum of the imperial court, and they joined forces and leveraged their strength. Although it is somewhat magical to pry the entire Liangshan, in the eyes of the wise, it is not something incomprehensible.
Manpower will always be poor at times, although the Tiger King is taking advantage of the situation, Fang La, Fang Qi Buddha and other talents, but they will also die out at the peak of their prime. This may be because of the calmness of a woman, Lou Shuwan will not be afraid of what Ning Yi has done. What's more complicated is that although she has heard some things about Ning Yi and some clips circulating in the rivers and lakes, Lou Shuwan is more or less evasive about the truth of the incident. What if you know, you can't take revenge now.
Because of this, even though she knew that Ning Yi was a powerful and ruthless character, she didn't react too much to Qiu Mengtang's actions in her confusion. Because what Ning Yi really scared her was actually a slash in her heart. "Didn't find out the truth clearly" is just her subconscious words, and Qiu Mengtang's "more than 100 people" is the right reason. No matter how powerful he is, there are only more than a hundred people.
But at this moment, her heart cooled down slightly, and she looked at that scene and thought in her heart: He is really powerful.
He seems to ...... It's always been so powerful.
Recalling the scene in Hangzhou, a trace of impossible thought emerged: I can't ...... Kicked to the iron plate, against this man, he has more than 100 people, won't he be able to fight back......
Of course, such thoughts felt a little ridiculous even to herself. Because the fighting between the mountains continued to spread, and then Qiu Mengtang's men began to come over in batches, gradually becoming 500, 600, and 700 people...... The sun was slanting in the west, Ning Yi led the team to retreat over the hill over there, and began to retreat and flee, Yu Yulin's side, more than 300 elites also gathered, and the lineup of thousands of people spread all the way to chase and kill. Even if they realize that the other party has some skills, it is unlikely that anyone will think that the other party can turn the tables, and Yu Yulin, Tian Shi and others, who have a deep understanding of the battlefield, think even so.
The sun was about to set, and Lou Shuwan rode her big horse, chasing after everyone with great difficulty in front of her.
I want to catch him, I want to ...... Get him.
She gritted her teeth and chased after the fading sunset, which she looked forward to. (To be continued......)
