After several people buried the bodies of the three people in Taiping Road, they immediately returned to the valley. Along the way, Gao Shun and Nan Ying saw that Yang Kun was still in a state of desperation, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

When he led Yang Kun to the warehouse of the sleepy tiger and saw that the black tiger was safe and sound, his eyes gradually regained their brightness, and he happily stepped forward to appease the black tiger.

Strange to say, the black tiger was originally restless in the cage, scratching and biting from time to time. After Yang Kun comforted him a few times, he immediately took away the fierce light in his eyes, and obediently knelt down, where is there still the brave man who chose people to devour, and Gao Shun and the others were surprised in their hearts.

Nan Ying coughed lightly and said, "Brother Yang......"

Yang Kun turned his head and said with a wry smile: "I understand, please arrange a quiet room, our previous topic is still not finished!" ”

In the study room of Gao Shun in Wubao, Gao Shun, Nan Ying, and Yang Kun sat down separately, and the three of them had their own things on their minds, and they were speechless for a while.

Gao Shun spoke first: "Does Brother Yang still have concerns?" Please rest assured, Brother Yang, it can be seen from today's events that there is indeed a misunderstanding between us, but after this battle, we have also sympathized with each other. If Brother Yang has anything difficult to say, there is no need to say more, just take the black tiger away! ”

Yang Kun said gratefully: "Now that things have come to this point, I really can't predict it. I have been innocent of both of them, and now I have received a great grace of salvation, and I will tell the whole story together, and I will not hide anything more. ”

He thought for a moment and said, "This starts more than two years ago, when a disciple of my sect happened to pass by this mountain, which coincided with a torrential rain. He had to find a cave to shelter from the rain, but after he didn't think about it, after making a fire in the cave, the fire reflected the four walls of the cave with golden light.

When he investigated, he found that this was a huge natural gold mine. This disciple knew that this matter was very important, and immediately after the rain stopped, he returned to the main altar and reported the matter to the great sage and good teacher Zhang Jiao. ”

Zhang Jiao was overjoyed when he heard this, so he sent this disciple to lead the people who were proficient in smelting in the sect to this mountain again to investigate in detail. After a few days of investigation, they found that there were not only gold mines in this mountain, but also other copper and iron deposits. Unexpectedly, when he went out of the mountain, he encountered the bandits who occupied the mountain, and because the enemy was outnumbered, after a fierce battle, only one person escaped back to the main altar with a wounded map. ”

Zhang Jiao saw that only one person returned with an injury, he was very angry, and immediately wanted to send the master of the sect to set foot on this mountain, but his brother Zhang Liang persuaded that this mountain is at the intersection of Liangyi and Liangyi, which is really beyond the sphere of influence of my Taiping Dao. Once this secret is made public, all forces will definitely fight for it, although the Taiping Dao is strong, it is beyond the reach of the whip! ”

"After thinking about it, Zhang Jiao also felt that it was not the best policy to take it by force, so he thought of me!"

Yang Kun said this, and couldn't help but smile slightly: "When I was a teenager, I lived in the land of the Southern Barbarians, and at the age of twelve, I happened to have an adventure, and Meng Yiren taught martial arts and the method of taming beasts. Martial arts are also okay, but this method of taming beasts is a thaumaturgy, and there is still some talent in the next, thanks to the true inheritance of the master, under hard practice, a large number of fierce beasts have been tamed, and the black tiger is a different species that I inadvertently received. Since then, I have been with tigers and wolves all day long, and I have enjoyed myself. However, in Yunnan and Yongchang, the Han and Barbarian tribes were full of contradictions, and the struggle was extremely fierce, and they couldn't help but be swept in, and they had to move back to their ancestral hometown and state, and soon became acquainted with Zhang Jiao's brother Zhang Bao, and under his introduction, he entered the Taiping Road. ”

Gao Shun Nanying listened attentively, and only then did he understand Yang Kun's origin.

Nan Ying smiled: "This Jiaohui thought of sending Brother Yang out of the horse, it must have taken a fancy to your beast taming thaumaturgy!" ”

Yang Kun nodded and said, "That's right!" That horn knew that if he wanted to succeed in this matter, he could only do it secretly. Then he sent me around to tame the tigers and bring them all to this mountain, intending to use the tigers to drive away the bandits who occupy the mountain as kings! ”

Gao Shun sighed: "This plan is really wonderful! Not only can they scare away the bandits without a trace, but they can also use the mouth of the bandits to spread the news that this mountain tiger group is in trouble, so that no one dares to come to live in this mountain. Taiping Road can rest assured that the bold plan to excavate mineral deposits! ”

Yang Kun smiled bitterly: "Brother Gao is right! After I led the tiger group to this mountain, I didn't have time to find the bandits, but they didn't know whether they were alive or dead, and they took the initiative to commit it, but they were slaughtered by the black tigers, and sure enough, people were panicked, and it didn't take long for them to fall apart. I was about to take further action, but I didn't expect it...... Hey! ”

Gao Shun smiled and said, "But unexpectedly, I led a large number of clansmen to drive away the bandits and occupy this mountain again!" ”

Yang Kun continued: "I saw that the number of senior brothers and others was small, but they were all brave, and they were by no means comparable to ordinary bandits and other rabble, and I was very jealous at that time. Then, Brother Gao quickly built a pass, forming a tight defensive situation, and I didn't dare to act rashly. Later, when I saw that my brother was chivalrous and helped those lonely and homeless people to live and work in peace and contentment in the valley, I really admired it in my heart, but I couldn't do it! I had to secretly restrain the tigers from entering the valley and hurting people! It's just that the days have dragged on for a long time, and it finally aroused Zhang Jiao's suspicions! ”

At this point, he no longer respects the great sage and good teacher, but directly calls Zhang Jiao's name, which shows that he has been extremely disappointed in Taiping Dao.

Gao Shun suddenly said: "I said why the tigers only monitor the valley mouth, but never enter the valley to hurt people, it turns out that this is the case!" ”

He stood up and bowed deeply to Yang Kun and said, "Brother Yang understands the righteousness, and would rather disobey orders but has been secretly helping, please accept my Gao Shun salute!" ”

Yang Kun couldn't help but be at a loss, and hurriedly got up to stand up Gao Shun, and said ashamedly: "How dare you be such a gift as a senior brother!" I am ashamed of myself, alas! Although I have repeatedly restrained the tigers, the tigers attach great importance to their territory, and once they find that people are intruding, they will spontaneously start attacking, and there have been continuous victims in the past 2 years, which is really my fault! ”

Turning his head to Nanying, he said: "That day, Brother Nan approached the tiger's den, attracting a group of tigers to chase after me, I happened to be absent at the time, and I rushed there immediately after discovering that something was wrong." Unexpectedly, Brother Nan won the world, and after killing all the tigers, he confronted my black tiger, but he was unscathed, what a strange person! Although I called it away with the sound of a flute, I never thought that this beast had suffered a great loss, but I refused to give up, and that night I sneaked into the valley while I was asleep, and wounded several more people! Alas, this is really .......," he said, feeling infinite guilt in his heart.

Nan Ying smiled and said, "Brother Yang doesn't have to mind, because you only know one and don't know the other!" ”

Yang Kun saw that Gao Shun was also silent with a smile, and said, "Oh? What do I not know? Please also show Brother Nan! ”

Nan Ying said slowly: "First, you don't know that my eldest brother has already issued an order after entering the valley, and everyone is not allowed to leave the valley without permission. In the past, those people were killed because the homeless people did not obey the order, and they only caused this disaster when they went out of the valley on their own, and you can't blame Brother Yang! Second, I want to thank you for saving my life! ”

He smiled bitterly: "To be honest, I have long been exhausted after fighting the tigers that day, and if Brother Yang's flute is blown a little late, I am afraid that it will become a big meal in the mouth of your black tiger brother!" What a brave crown in the world, I was just holding on to the death at the time! ”

The three of them couldn't help but laugh together.

"Third!" Nan Ying showed a strange smile, "Brother Yang, you know that your black tiger entered the valley that night and injured three people in a row, but it was a good injury, a wonderful injury!" My brother and I have to thank him! ”

Yang Kun opened his mouth wide when he heard this: "What? What is the reason for this? ”

Gao Shun continued: "I only said three words, and Brother Yang made his intentions clear!" ”

Yang Kunru fell into the clouds and mist, and asked urgently: "Which three words?" ”

"Heavenly Master Dao!" Gao Shun said in a deep voice.

Yang Kun was shocked and said, "Heavenly Master Dao? Could it be that they are actually people of the Heavenly Master's Dao? ”

Then he understood, and sighed: "It seems that the Heavenly Master Dao must have learned the secret of the mineral deposits in the mountain, and he wants to come first!" He was speechless.

Gao Shun and Nan Ying looked at each other, and Gao Shun said, "I don't know what Brother Yang's plans are in the future?" ”

Yang Kun smiled bitterly: "I plan to take the tigers out of this mountain as soon as possible, and go as far as possible!" Alas! The grace of saving the two lives and the virtue of releasing the tiger, please report it again after the next day! ”

Nan Ying smiled: "It's rare that Brother Yang and my brother hit it off at first sight and fell in love with each other!" Why don't you stay here and help everyone together! ”

Yang Kun shook his head suddenly: "No!" I must not stay here! ”

Nan Ying's eyes flashed with a hint of admiration and said, "Brother Yang is afraid that someone from Taiping Dao will chase and kill us, right?" ”

Yang Kun's body shook and said dejectedly: "Not bad! I am guilty of apostasy, and they will hunt me down for thousands of miles, so how can I harm others? ”

Gao Shun couldn't help laughing, and said proudly: "Brother Yang's kindness, our brother understands it!" However, Brother Yang's words are wrong! ”

He stared at the divine light and said: "Whether it is Taiping Dao or Heavenly Master Dao, its purpose is to occupy this mountain and take away my homeland, so there is no matter of Brother Yang, do you say that they will let us go?" I am a dignified man, and I should stand up for the defense of my homeland! Although he Taiping Dao and Heavenly Master Dao are many and powerful, what are we afraid of? If Brother Yang is willing to stay, he can fight with us against a strong enemy! How can it be better than Brother Yang dying alone in the world, right? ”

Yang Kun froze on the spot when he heard this.

"Big brother said it well!" Nan Ying stroked his palms and said, "When the court is faint today, the officials are corrupt, and the people are struggling to make a living, the trend of chaos will arise." These forces value the mineral deposits of this mountain in order to gather wealth and take advantage of the troubled times to dominate the world! When the time comes, the soldiers will be together, and suffering will not be the common people in the world? Where can Brother Yang flee to then? ”

Yang Kun said with cold sweat on his forehead: "What about Brother Yinan's intentions?" ”

Nanying said solemnly: "Gather like-minded people, save the people of Li in dire straits, retreat to defend a happy land, and advance to raise the banner of righteousness to protect the country and the people!" ”

Yang Kunxiong's body shook and said: "This is true! As he spoke, he bowed to the ground and said, "I am willing to follow the two, and from now on I will not care about life and death!" ”

The three of them held hands with each other, and their hearts were full of anger and sympathy, and they were speechless for a long time.

In the secret room of the fort, the first secret meeting since the fort was built, was held.

There were only seven participants, namely Gao Shun, Nan Ying, Yang Kun, Fang Yue, Gao Feng, Gao Tie and Gao Gao'er, and Zheng Sanshan was unable to attend the meeting because he had to guard Zheng Du.

First of all, Gao Shun told everyone about Yang Kun's affairs in detail, and announced that Yang Kun officially joined the gang from today, which immediately attracted a warm welcome from everyone, and praised his animal taming thaumaturgy, which made Yang Kun overjoyed and humble.

After Gao Shun told everyone what had happened in the past few days, everyone couldn't help but fall into silence and thought hard.

Gao Tie frowned first and said: "At present, we have formed a bond with the Taiping Dao and the Heavenly Master Dao, both of which are powerful and powerful, but one of them is extremely difficult to deal with. ”

Gao Feng Fang Yue and the others nodded in unison, and even Gao Shun couldn't help but sigh lightly.

Seeing that everyone was worried, Nan Ying smiled and said, "You don't have to worry too much, although the enemy is powerful, we are not without a way to deal with it!" ”

When everyone saw that he looked relaxed with confidence, they were all in good spirits.

Gao Gao said happily: "I know you have a lot of ideas!" Tell me what you can do! ”

Nan Ying pressed his hands together, leaned forward, and his eyes shot out a strong confidence: "We must do several things as soon as possible, one is to investigate all the residents in the valley as soon as possible, and we must not let the valley be mixed with internal ghosts, so as to prevent the enemy from colluding inside and outside." The stakes are high and need to be done immediately; The second is to strengthen the defense in the valley, the pass in the valley and the dock fort in the valley should be rebuilt high and thick, and the dangerous places that may be infiltrated in various places in the valley should immediately build tall towers and watchtowers, with flags during the day and firelight at night, echoing each other, and sending additional manpower to guard it all day; The third is to strengthen the training of trapped camps, so as to form a considerable combat force in a short period of time, and be ready to deal with the invading enemy at any time! Fourth, please ask Brother Yang to distribute your tiger herd in the mountains and reconnoiter the suspicious characters in and out of the mountains, which will be the strongest help for us to warn against the enemy. ”

Yang Kun smiled and continued: "Brother Nan, don't worry, this matter can be all on me!" ”

Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they thought of the black tiger's power.

Gao Gao'er hesitated: "It's just that those tigers are scattered in the mountains, will they attack us without distinguishing between friends and foes?" ”

Yang Kun took out a packet of herbs from his arms and said with a smile: "Miss, don't worry, these herbs can be distributed among the residents of the whole valley, decocted with water, and given one dose a day." After taking it for three days, the smell of the herbs can remain in the body forever without any adverse effects. When any beast I train smells of it, he will be able to distinguish friend from foe, and there will be no danger of harming anyone. ”

Everyone rejoiced.

Gao Gao'er touched his chest with his hand and said, "This is good!" I'm a little scared of your big worms! Don't worry about it again! ”

Seeing Nan Ying's teasing face, thinking of the previous embarrassing escape, he couldn't help but blush and lowered his head.

Nan Ying continued: "There is one more thing, since we know that the mountains contain rich mineral deposits, if we don't use them, it will be a tyrannical thing! also asked the eldest brother to dispatch craftsmen to dig and mine according to the map of the eldest brother Yang. Hehe, we can use all these gold, silver, copper and iron! ”

Fang Yue was puzzled: "What's the use of us asking for this?" ”

Nan Ying glared and said, "You are stupid! We can go to the mountains to buy food, salt, and war horses, and we can build our own blades and armor for copper and iron! We don't need it, you're still going to keep it for the Taiping Road rebellion! ”

Fang Yue said with a look of sudden realization: "I see! Yes, there are a few skilled blacksmiths in this valley! Haha, my old party wants to fight a good knife first! ”

Everyone burst into laughter, and the atmosphere was much lighter.

Gao Shun groaned: "Brother Xian said a few things that are very reasonable, we will do it at the same time tomorrow." But is that the only thing that means worry-free? ”

Nanying said lightly: "Don't worry, big brother, I just made an analysis in my heart, maybe the matter is not as serious as we imagined!" ”

Gao Shunqi said: "Taiping Dao and Heavenly Master Dao are both great religions in the world, each with hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. Isn't it serious enough that these two factions covet this place at the same time? ”

Nan Ying said calmly: "First, let's analyze from the perspective of power comparison. Although the Taiping Dao and the Heavenly Master Dao each have countless sects, they are all civil forces, and they have their own ambitions, and now that the time has not come, they will definitely not dare to make a big move, and blatantly gather people to attack, otherwise they are afraid that they will attract the encirclement and suppression of the government on the way. At most, we just sent a small group of people to come, although there are not many of us, but we are not afraid of him! ”

"Second, from the perspective of the right time and place. The Taiping Dao General Altar is too far away from us, it will take months just to come and go, and Zhang Jiao's current priority is to prepare for the world's moves in the near future, I am afraid that they will not spend too much energy on us, even if it is attacked, it can only be the spying and assassination of a few masters, we just need to be careful to prevent it, and now with the help of Brother Yang's tiger group, we have a better chance of winning. Heavenly Master Dao is not far from us, but this place is at the intersection of several forces, and it is already close to the territory of the Qiang people, I think they must also have a lot of concerns, and it is unlikely that they will attack on a large scale, not to mention that Zheng Du is now in our hands, and the valley is on high alert, Heavenly Master Dao must be ignorant of what is happening here, we still have enough time to make arrangements, at least we can have a delaying strategy! ”

"Oh? How to do this? Everyone was amazed.

Nan Ying looked at Yang Kun with a smile and said, "This plan has to fall on Brother Yang!" ”

Yang Kun opened his mouth and stammered: "What? I? ”
