Chapter 14: Detachment and Ascending Antler Mountain

Lin Chong looked at Liu Chen sitting on the ground, and hurriedly ran over, "Lord, are you okay!" Lin Chong stretched out his hand, ready to help Liu Chen up.

Liu Chen waved his hand, signaling that he was fine, no need to help, and looked ahead, his eyes were a little sloppy. "Hey, sect leader, why do you say that human life is so fragile, Uncle Liu Fu still has these guards, a day ago or even a few hours ago, everyone was still talking and laughing, yearning for the future life, thinking about going to the western Liangdu to help me build a fiefdom, but now all this has become illusory, Uncle Liu Fu doesn't even have a corpse in the capital. There were more than a dozen of us when we set off, but now, there are less than half of them, and if it weren't for the help of this group, maybe we would have walked under the Nine Springs. Liu Chen sighed, a little melancholy, a little frustrated.

"Young master, life, that's it, full of ups and downs, gone through, maybe it's a smooth road, maybe it's a bigger bump, only keep moving forward, the goal will be close, it will be reached, if there is no challenge in life, then there will be no motivation to move forward, as long as there is a goal, there will be a challenge, no goal, no challenge, live a muddy life, what is the difference between that and salted fish. Lin Chong took the opportunity to sit next to Liu Chen, looked at Liu Chen and said.

"That's what I said, I just think Uncle Liu Fu and their death is a bit worthless. Liu Chen said in a low voice.

Lin Chong looked at Liu Chen, looked around, and found that Wu You and the people from Manniuzhai were catching up, and they didn't pay attention to their side, so he lowered his voice and said to Liu Chen, "Lord, you also know everything about me, to be honest, when I first went to Liangshan, I merged with Wang Lun and promoted Chao Tianwang to sit in the top spot. But after Brother Song Jiang came, the brothers listened to him, for Zhao'an, in order to fight for future generations, beat Wang Qing, kill Tian Hu, fight against Liao and finally capture Fang La alive, most of the brothers died, but the brothers were willing, this is our goal, we have a challenge, and it is meaningful to do this, people in the world will give a thumbs up when they mention Liangshan, and they will no longer use a disdainful tone to say that the little thief is a thief, and the living thief is equipped with an army, and it is worth it. Lin Chong's eyes were a little red, thinking of his brother in his previous life, he couldn't help himself.

"Although the brothers separated in the end, whether it was the separation of yin and yang, or what thousands of rivers and mountains separated, but the brothers have no regrets, and later generations lamented the grievances of our death, the death is not worth it, in fact, it is wrong, to die for the country and the people, it is better than dying of old age on Liangshan, and the horse leather shroud is our highest honor. People's sentiments are just because we are not strong enough, and if we were a little stronger, the ending may be rewritten. Lord, you have such a good opportunity now, as long as we arrive in Liangdu, we will continue to strengthen ourselves, whether it is our own force or the strength of the army, as long as we are strong enough, who will come to provoke us, who will dare to provoke us, if we don't provoke them, they will already burn high incense. Lin Chong clenched his fists and encouraged Liu Chen to cheer up.

"Sect leader, I understand all of this, but I can't accept Uncle Liu Fu's departure for a while. Liu Chen stood up suddenly. Looking at the surrounding minions who were cleaning up the battlefield, he turned his head and said to Lin Chong, "Sect leader, when we arrive in Liangdu, let's get a team first, trained by you, and strive to make them have combat effectiveness as soon as possible, and fight for our future, this team will teach them marksmanship, such as Lin's spear is the most terrifying." Then let's gather the orphans around Liangdu, and you will teach the exercises, and we need to cultivate our top combat power. Liu Chen watched Lin Chong stand up and said to Lin Chong.

"Lord, there's no problem with this, I'll do my old job again. Lin Chong nodded and said.

"We will talk about this later, but the main thing for now is that we will collect the bodies of our guards and pay tribute to them, they are the forerunners of our own forces, and we must not forget them. Liu Chen waved his hand and looked for Wu You in the crowd.

"Uncle Wu, collect the remains and relics of the brothers and see them off. Liu Chen said.

"Okay, young master!" Wu You quickly agreed, and after speaking, he said to Duan Mei and the others beside him, "Xiaomei, please take care of our sacrificed brothers, and the young master will pay tribute to the brothers and thank them for their efforts." Wu You also had tears in his eyes.

"Yes, uncle. Brothers, take good care of the dead brothers, they died to protect my uncle and them, they are all heroes. Duan Mei said loudly to the bull bandits beside her.

After a while, the battlefield was cleaned up, Wu You and the carriage discarded in front of them were also driven over, and the bodies of the sacrificed brothers were buried in a vacant lot on the side of the road one by one, Kang Zhi said that where is a good place for feng shui, Liu Chen personally set up a tombstone, on which it was written "Loyalty and righteousness, immortal" and engraved their names on the back. Then he shouted to the sky, "Brothers, let's go!" After speaking, he knelt on his knees, "I, Liu Chen, kneel to the sky and kneel to my parents, today you are protecting me and losing your life, you are like my parents again, this first bow thanks to everyone for their loyalty." After speaking, he bowed to the mausoleum, "This second bow hopes that you will be rich and healthy in the next life" After speaking, he bowed a bow, "This last bow, I hope you will bless us to reach Liangdu smoothly, establish our forces, and threaten the kingdom, and wipe out the bandits who escaped this time." After speaking, he bowed his head and bowed deeply.

Wu You and the others also followed Liu Chen and bowed three times to the sacrificed brothers.

After paying tribute to Liu Fu and the guards, Liu Chen and the others walked forward in a carriage with Kang Ren and them. There was no word all the way, except for the sound of the hooves of the three-toed horses and the sound of ruts.

Not far away, Wu You suddenly turned around and came to Liu Chen's car, a little hesitant, as if he had something to say, but he never spoke.

"Uncle Wu, just say what you want, we see that there is nothing to say. Liu Chen's voice came out of the carriage.

"Young master, it was the barbarian bull bandits from Antler Mountain who came to beg us, at this time, a group of righteous bandits, their old masters were figures in the army, and they were only excluded from the grass. And Duan Jie, the first two masters of Manniu Village, is my brother-in-law, that is, Duan Mei's father, and Duan Mei's mother is your Aunt Mei's youngest sister. More than ten years ago, in order to avoid the enemy, when our family fled, we also wanted to go to Manniu Village, but before we arrived, the opponent came to the master, seriously injured me and your Aunt Mei, if it wasn't for the master who happened to meet, maybe we would have already become a cup of loess. Wu You's voice was a little low, he missed Liu Chen's father and Duan Jie.

"I didn't expect that this farewell has only been more than ten years, but Duan Jie and his wife have already gone before us. But young master, Manniu Village is not bad, let's go where to rest first, and then let's go to Liangdu. Wu You said with some hope that he and Su Mei hoped to go to the grave of Duan Jie and his wife to put a stick of incense.

"I also have this intention, I am going to the northwest, there are not many guards left, and no one has rushed to these carriages, just go to Manniu Village to rest and recuperate. Liu Chen also slowly responded.

"The young master has no other ideas, but there are many grandmasters in the Manniu Village, especially the martial idiot Kangyi, who is one step away from a high-level martial artist. Wu You suddenly whispered to Liu Chen.

"Hehe, Uncle Wu, let it be, it's mine that can't escape after all. Liu Chen pretended to say in a deep voice.

"Hehe, it's good that the young master knows it. Wu You saw that Liu Chen had an idea, and he was secretly happy, the young master can be civil and martial, this is the best reward for the master.

"Martial idiot, martial idiot, the last thing I lack is martial arts, I'm going to decide this martial idiot, no, I'm going to decide the entire Manniu Village." Liu Chen thought secretly in his heart.

Kangren, who was walking in front, didn't know that they had been remembered by others.

After walking for more than half an hour, Liu Chen and they finally came to the foot of Lujiao Mountain, looking at the majestic terrain and the terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Liu Chen and Lin Chong also nodded secretly, this mountain is really good, it seems that the old master of Manniuzhai is also a talent, but unfortunately he didn't have a chance to see it.

Without allowing them to think about it, Kang Ren led them along the mountain road to the Manniu Village.

Coming to the main village, Kang Ren said, "Little people, the distinguished guests are coming, go and prepare the wine and good food, tonight we are going to have a big banquet, one congratulates the distinguished guests to the door, and the second congratulates us on the majesty of the evil wolf gang, and the evil spirit that has been held back for half a month is finally out, haha" Kang Ren laughed heartily.

"Haha, okay, double happiness is coming, let's go and prepare. The old man also laughed heartily, and hurried to prepare for the banquet.

"Prepare incense and candles, and the guests have to offer incense to several old village owners, who are relatives of the old village owners. Kang Ren continued.

After a while, everything has been prepared, in the temporary ancestral hall, the spiritual seats of the three old village owners of Kang, Duan and Liang are erected high, and next to them are the spiritual seats of their families. Liu Chen looked at these thoughtfully.

People always have to have a belief, and with belief, they will not be afraid of life and death, and those terrorists in the previous life did not give up their lives for the so-called faith, and those who bombed human flesh, car bombs, and hijacked airplanes were not those fanatical believers.

Thinking of this, Liu Chen decided to wait until he waited in his own territory to build a cemetery, so that his brother who left in advance for his own power would have a place for his soul to settle.
