The morning sun rises to dispel the cold of winter. Although the wind is still bitterly cold, the presence of sunlight makes people warm from the bottom of their hearts.

The team of Green Pine Valley walked back, and their spirits were much more uplifted, and there was no more decadence of yesterday. Although the soldiers did not dare to make a loud noise because of Zhou Mingshu's death, they were still talking in a whisper, discussing the success of the night attack in Qingsong Valley and the reason for the success.

In the entire team, only Zhou Mingshu's two relatives looked particularly sad, and they didn't say a word on the way back to the valley.

Under Zhang Song's comfort, the iron guy has returned to his usual appearance, honest and silent, and has eliminated the discomfort caused by killing.

Zhong Lei sometimes rode a horse back and forth to patrol the team, maintaining order.

After only walking for a while, the sadness on Zhang Song's face had disappeared, and he rode a horse to stand side by side with Zhong Lei.

"Does Zhou Mingshu have any other capable subordinates?" Zhang Song asked in a low voice.

"Except for Li Mo, the others are already dead, I'm afraid that Li Mo will wake up." Of course, Zhong Lei knew what Zhang Song was worried about.

"Li Mo shouldn't be so fast. What is the prestige of Zhou Fang? How is it enough to unify Zhou Mingshu's subordinates? ”

"Zhou Fang? There should be nothing to fear. ”

Zhang Song thought for a while, and then said: "Zhou Fang shouldn't be a problem, I'll figure it out." The top priority is to send someone back to report the victory to Qingsong Valley, and at the same time remind Fang Jun to pay attention to precautions! ”

Zhong Lei nodded in agreement, and then ordered a cronie to ride a horse to the Green Pine Valley.

When they returned to Qingsong Gukou, the gate of Taniguchi was wide open, and Yu Minzhi, Zhou Fang, Fang Tao and others all went out to the open space at Taniguchi to welcome the team back.

Yu Minzhi was full of smiles, the strong enemy of Mengshan Bandit was defeated, her subordinates were unscathed, Zhou Mingshu, the old opponent, was dead, she was full of confidence in the future of Qingsong Valley, and there was no reason to be unhappy.

Zhou Fang stood with a gloomy face, and when he looked at others, sadness appeared in his eyes from time to time. It was only when no one was paying attention that a trace of joy would flash in Zhou Fang's eyes very quickly.

Zhou Mingshu's subordinates were all standing in line outside the Qingsong Valley at this time, and the original guards at the Valley Entrance were also guarded by Fang Tao and replaced by others.

When the two parties saw each other, they cheered in unison.

Zhang Song strode forward, saluted Yu Minzhi, and said, "A certain mission is not dishonored, and the Mengshan thieves are broken!" The crisis in Green Pine Valley has been solved! ”

"Good! Zhang Jun has a great merit! Yu Minzhi was happy from the bottom of his heart, and his voice trembled a little.

At this time, under the command of Da Zhong Lei, Zhou Mingshu's personal entourage brought Zhou Mingshu's body forward.

"It's just, it's just that Zhou Jun unfortunately died because of the ferocity of the Mengshan bandits......" Zhang Song choked up, and couldn't make a sound when he said it.

"Madame! Zhou Jun died so miserably! Zhou Mingshu's relatives came forward to pay homage at this time, crying loudly.

"Big brother!" Zhou Fang threw himself on Zhou Mingshu's corpse and cried loudly, grief-stricken.

Zhou Mingshu's men, who were standing behind Yu Minzhi, stepped forward together, surrounding Zhou Mingshu's corpse, crying in unison, like a swallow.

Other than that, everyone else was standing on the side, and although it was silent, not many people looked sad.

Yu Xinzhi and Chen Jia still had smiles on their faces, although their performance was seen by Zhou Mingshu's subordinates, but because of the death of Zhou Mingshu and his right-hand men, they dared not speak out.

"Don't be too sad, let's welcome Zhou Jun's soul back to Qingsong first." After Zhou Mingshu's men cried for a while, Yu Min stepped forward to help Zhou Fangdao, who was almost unable to stand in grief.

"Yes, don't be sad, you have to remember what Zhou Jun said before he died, inheriting Zhou Jun's will is exactly what we have to do now, I believe that Zhou Jun's spirit in the sky will also be pleased when he sees this." Zhang Song also said on the side.

"Line up and welcome Zhou Jun back to the valley!" Yu Minzhi frowned imperceptibly and glanced at Zhang Song quickly.

Under Zhong Lei's restraint and help, the soldiers lined up neatly and began to go to the Qingsong Valley.

On the way into the valley, some of Zhou Mingshu's subordinates heard the meaning of Zhang Song's words, and began to inquire about Zhou Mingshu's two relatives, and after a while, they surrounded the iron man.

With the support of his entourage, Fang Tao came to Zhang Song's side and walked side by side with Zhong Lei.

The three of them didn't speak, but just exchanged glances with each other, and they understood each other's thoughts. Although their faces were expressionless, the excitement in Fang Tao and Zhong Lei's eyes could not be concealed.

"Come to my place for a drink at night!" Fang Tao whispered to Zhong Lei and Zhang Song.

Zhong Lei and Zhang Song nodded in agreement.

"I'll come after arranging the ironworks." Zhang Song whispered.

While Zhang Song was talking, he glanced back at the iron guy, and saw that the iron guy was dealing with Zhou Mingshu's subordinates with the same face, and there was no dispute, so he was also relieved.

"Zhang Jun, Yu Xinzhi and Chen Jia are here, it seems that they are coming for you." Fang Tao pulled Zhang Song's sleeve and reminded in a low voice.

Zhang Song turned around, and sure enough, it was Yu Xinzhi and Chen Jia who came.

"Yu Xinzhi, Chen Jia, but what's the matter?" Zhang Song raised his head and said to the two of them with a smile.

Yu Xinzhi smiled proudly and said, "Zhou Mingshu is dead, who else can protect you now?" ”

"Are you going to attack us, Yu Jun?" Zhang Song asked loudly.

Zhang Song's voice was very loud, except for Zhong Lei's subordinates around him, even Zhou Mingshu's subordinates, who were asking about the iron guy, were alarmed and looked over in surprise.

Yu Xinzhi thought that the "we" Zhang Song said meant him and the craftsmen in the iron-smelting yard, so he said proudly: "I can't get used to you for a long time, I haven't had a chance, and now that Zhou Mingshu is dead, when will I attack you if I don't attack you at this time!" ”

Zhou Mingshu's subordinates' faces quickly became gloomy, but they didn't make a sound, they just looked at Yu Xinzhi together, their eyes were cold. Zhang Song's surroundings became much quieter for a while, and Zhang Song saw everything around him very clearly.

"As soon as Zhou Jun went, Yu Jun, you are going to attack us who were originally close to Zhou Jun, aren't you afraid that your behavior will make the world's teeth cold? You're a villain! Zhang Song's voice was agitated, and the words were like the sound of gold and stone, and they spread far away in this silence.

"Am I a villain? How dare you scold me! What's so great about being close to Zhou Mingshu? Zhou Mingshu is already dead, you dare to be so arrogant, I don't think you want to live anymore! Yu Xinzhi, who was scolded, was furious, "Bring a knife, I'll kill him first!" ”

Zhang Song looked at the angry Yu Xinzhi, sneered in his heart, he straightened his chest, and mocked: "Of course it's great to be close to Zhou Jun, even if he dies, it's better than you to survive!" If you have the courage to kill me, kill all the people close to Zhou Jun! ”

"Kill it, kill it!" Yu Xin was extremely angry, and without waiting for his subordinates to hand over the knife, he reached out to pull out Chen Jia's knife.

There was a sound of "swish", and Zhou Mingshu's subordinates could no longer control their anger, and they all came towards Zhang Song and Yu Xinzhi, and the knife was already in hand when they came over.

Zhang Song was on guard, while paying attention to the movements around him, and when he saw the movements of Zhou Mingshu's men, he was much more relieved, but he was still secretly vigilant and did not dare to relax.

Seeing Yu Xinzhi draw his knife, Zhong Lei, who had been quietly observing from the side, hurriedly pulled out his knife and stepped forward to protect Zhang Song. Fang Tao also ordered his relatives to step forward to protect Zhang Song.

Chen Jia had already noticed the movement around him at this time, he tightly held the hand of Yu Xinzhi who came to draw the knife, and said in a low voice: "You have fallen for Zhang Song, you see, Zhou Mingshu's subordinates have already surrounded him, don't move!" ”

"What are you afraid of!" Yu Xinzhi may have been suppressed by Zhou Mingshu in ordinary times, and he was very resentful, so he didn't think about his words and deeds, "I wasn't afraid of Zhou Mingshu when he was there, am I still afraid of him after death!" ”

"Xinzhi, what are you doing here? Don't put the knife down yet! The movement here finally attracted the attention of Yu Minzhi at the front of the team, and she rode over, "I'll talk about something when I go back to the valley!" ”

"What are you doing? The eldest brother's bones are not cold, are you going to do something in the same room? Zhou Fang also rushed over and loudly scolded Zhou Mingshu's subordinates, but his eyes looked at Yu Xinzhi and Chen Jia with dissatisfaction.

Under Zhou Fang's several reprimands, Zhou Mingshu's subordinates successively put their knives into their sheaths and returned to their positions.

Yu Xinzhi stopped stupidly, but he still pointed at Zhang Song with his hand, and his arrogance was very arrogant.

Zhang Song saw that the situation that was about to break out had slowed down, and he felt a little regretful, but he was not very surprised.

Mengshan thieves have just broken, the food in Qingsong Valley is still insufficient, and Zhou Mingshu is newly dead, in this situation, it is impossible for Yu Minzhi, as the lord of Qingsong Valley, to let the internal chaos arise. Knowing this, Zhang Song believed that Yu Minzhi still had it, otherwise, she would have been ousted from the position of the lord of Qingsong Valley by Zhou Mingshu.

As for Yu Xinzhi and Chen Jia, who have long been regarded by Zhang Song as dry bones in the mound, what is their threat? There is nothing to be afraid of.

"Heart, be at ease!" Although Yu Minzhi was admonishing Yu Xinzhi, his eyes looked at Zhang Song coldly.

Yu Minzhi then left, and Yu Xinzhi and Chen Jia also followed. Zhou Fang picked up and left, and glanced at Zhang Song coldly as he left.

Zhang Song smiled, didn't take the expressions of Yu Minzhi and Zhou Fang and the others to heart, he saluted Zhou Mingshu's men, and said loudly: "Thanks to your righteousness, although you are not talented, you are also willing to inherit Zhou Jun's legacy with you and protect Qingsong Valley together!" ”

When Zhou Mingshu's subordinates heard this, they all returned the salute to Zhang Song, and some even shouted "I am willing to be with Zhang Jun".

Seeing that Zhang Song was able to obtain the support of Zhou Mingshu's subordinates in just a moment, Zhong Lei and Fang Tao's joy was beyond words.

The turmoil came and went quickly, and the team soon quieted down again, and methodically headed towards the hinterland of the Green Pine Valley.

It's just that although the team quieted down and restored the order that had begun, the atmosphere became strange, and in addition to the sadness that still existed, there was also an inexplicable mood brewing.

Soon the team arrived in the open space in front of the council hall, and Zhou Mingshu's body was parked in the open space.
