Zhang Mengcheng, who was riding on a horse, suddenly shivered for no reason.

Although it is winter, I not only have freshly made cotton clothes, but also various items such as capes and ear protection. And now the speed of riding is not fast, and there is no cold wind at this time, there is no reason for this cold shiver, is someone calculating himself?

Thinking of this explanation, Xiucai, whose hands were stained with the blood of many people, was immediately relieved. Not to mention the previous enemies, even the second brother Cai who recently united with Artemisia Peak, and cleaned up the local tyrants in Baoan County, they will definitely keep cursing themselves in secret, the thousand households of Jinding Mountain.

But it doesn't matter, he crawled out of the pile of dead people, and he is already full of evil spirits. The curses behind the backs of those enemies are really useless to themselves.

Zhang Mengcheng, who once received the baptism of the light of science and technology in later generations, is now thinking about a bunch of feudal superstition dross. There are only two explanations for this, one is that he was greatly mentally stimulated, and the whole thinking took a radical shift. Another explanation is that at this time, a showman dressed like an upstart is completely idle.

"Master Xiucai, the next tun chief has already brought someone to greet you."

Lao Liao's injuries have long recovered, and at this time, he and Xigui, as the only remaining henchmen and team leaders around the leader of Xiucai, naturally have to act with Zhang Mengcheng.

"Oh, it's quite eye-catching. Be careful, Lao Liao, you go to replace Xigui, Xizi and Bao'er, you go to the front to inspect, and if something is wrong, you will immediately retreat. The rest are on their guard, ready to fight. ”

"Yes."

The Jindingshan cavalry, who had been instructed by the leader, quickly began their respective work. Lao Liao took a few cavalrymen to the periphery to replace Xi Gui, who was still on guard, and the neat movements he showed on the way showed that his riding skills had improved again during this time.

And Zhang Shuangxi and Guan Yuze, two boys who have grown quite tall, are both wearing brand new armor, and the war horses under them are also well maintained. Each of them took a few classmates who were fifteen or sixteen years old, and rushed to the place where there might be an ambush ahead.

The tun commander and his subordinates, who greeted the leader of the cottage, looked at the cavalry on the opposite side as if they were going to fight, and they were a little panicked. But they didn't do anything after all, so they still insisted on standing still and didn't react rudely.

"Sir, everything is normal in the left front, and there are no people in ambush."

"Sir, everything is normal in the front right, and no enemy has been found."

Zhang Shuangxi, Guan Yuze and others immediately came back to report after the inspection. Although they were a little puzzled by their husband's overly frequent drills during this time, they still completed their work seriously under the discipline they have been cultivating.

"Very well, you guys are back together. Everyone joined me into the cantonment to get ready for the winter drills. ”

"Yes."

There was no ambush here, which made Zhang Mengcheng feel a little regretful. I haven't experienced a battle for a while, and if I continue to be paralyzed by peaceful life like this, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to return to my previous state.

"Xiao Lao'er has seen the leader, and the 169 school-age tunding in Bentun have all been assembled, and they are ready to start this year's winter drill at any time."

The chief here is an old man in his fifties, who looks very healthy and speaks with a full sense of energy.

"I received news before that people from Chenjiagou have been here, what are they looking for you for?"

Zhang Mengcheng behaved so carefully this time, and it was not entirely because he had nothing to do. It's that he received the news before, and the tun here has been in contact with a local tyrant who has been cleaned up by the security guard before, so there is this one.

"No, nothing. People from Chenjiagou did come. But they were only discussing with me about releasing water from the spring canal next year, just to prevent a fight. ”

The tun chief was asked by the leader of Xiucai a little weak-hearted, the rich man of Chenjiagou was cleaned up in the village some time ago, and I heard that the family spent a lot of money to get through safely. The person from Chenjiagou did have some ideas behind his back, but he was directly rejected by himself, how did the leader of Xiucai know.

"You've done a good job in the past, and I've always felt that talents are rare, so I'll make an exception today and give you another chance."

Zhang Mengcheng's threat was clear enough, after his leader finished speaking. The cavalry that followed him all put their hands directly on the hilt of their swords.

"Leader Kai'en, the people in Chenjiagou did say other things, but I directly refused." Hearing the threat of the leader of Xiucai, Tun Chang's face turned pale in an instant, and then he knelt on his knees and began to beg for mercy.

Some of the tunding people around the tun chief, when they learned that their tun chief actually had a behind-the-scenes deal with other outsiders, they immediately opened the distance between them and the tun chief in fear.

Zhang Mengcheng looked at the old man he had always admired before and didn't say anything, but continued to wait for his next words.

"They know that the drill at our cantonment is about to begin, and you will definitely come over in person at this time, Leader. They want to take the opportunity to join forces with our people in the camp to get rid of you, and then divide all the labor and industry in the vicinity equally. "Knowing that the leader of Xiucai was still waiting for him, the tun chief told everything about it.

"What! Leader Mingjian, we don't know anything. ”

"Tun Chief, are you confused, do you want to kill everyone?"

"Are you stupid, old thing, those miscellaneous pieces of Chenjiagou have been grabbing water with us. What kind of intentions can they have, why do you want to meet them. ”

"Boss, just spare the tun chief this time, he is really a good person, and he never covets everyone's small gains."

"Yes, the two sons of the tun chief are still working hard for the big boss, the leader, for the sake of this friendship, just spare him this time." ……

After the tun chief's words were finished, there was a huge reaction in the surrounding tunding. Everyone was frightened by Chen Jiagou's thoughts, for fear that the talented Xiucai in front of them would directly pull out and kill.

"Wow~."

"P-o, oa, oa-......."

After the sound of a knife drawing sounded, a not very neat sound of knife drawing also sounded one after another. After the murderous aura of the cavalry shot at Tunding like a substance, the place finally returned to peace.

The noisy voices of the tunding made Zhang Mengcheng a little annoyed, so he quickly cooled down in this way. After Xiucai looked at the crows in front of him who had finally shut up, he had to sigh that there was indeed a clear difference between professional soldiers and militiamen.

"Whoever says anything more, I'll cut off his ear. Forget what I usually emphasized, to be disciplined at all times and in all places, what should you do now? ”

The leader directly began to intimidate, and the tunding finally remembered what they had learned before. They lined up again and stood, and not a single person dared to say a word on the way.

After Zhang Mengcheng saw Tun Ding standing in line again, he began to question the tun chief again. "Why didn't you report this matter to me as soon as possible, do you think you can hide it?"

"The people in Chenjiagou saw that I was unwilling, and finally gave up their ideas. Master Chen once rewarded Xiao Lao'er with a pound of millet in a famine year, so that my family did not starve to death. That's why I wanted to repay the favor, so I quietly hid it. ”

The tun chief knew that the leader of the show in front of him had quietly buried the hidden stakes when he was planting the tunding in various camps. But he thought he had captured the man's heart, so he was going to try to hide it. But the leader of Xiucai still knew, was he betrayed?

"The man surnamed Chen once rewarded your family with a meal, but he only saved you, will our cottage be less kind to you than him? If we hadn't been raising your family in the first two years of the disaster, you would still be alive until now, and you would have been boiled by the hungry people a long time ago. ”

It was not Zhang Mengcheng who said this, but Zhang Shuangxi, who was signaled by him. Because when Xizi first entered the cottage before, the chilblains on his hands were cured by the tun chief in front of him. Zhang Mengcheng deliberately pushed Zhang Shuangxi out, just to take the opportunity to let him experience some such things.

"The great kindness of the cottage, the little old man is even more difficult to repay. That's why he sent his two sons to the big boss as Ma Ben, just to repay this love. But my family was able to survive until they were taken in by the cottage because they were first relieved by Master Chen. Although I don't know if this reward is in any order, I still don't want Master Chen's family to be destroyed. Xiucai leader Kai'en, you will spare Master Chen this time, he has promised not to make up his mind again. ”

"It's all this time, and you're still trying to intercede with that bastard, are you really stupid. Tell the third uncle that you won't dare next time, you still have to think about your own family. ”……

Guan Yuze looked at the classmates in front of him who had changed from questioning to persuasion, and he also had some sighs in his heart. If I encounter something similar in the future, I don't know if it will be like Zhang Shuangxi, with a contradictory mentality and a difficult choice.

Choose to betray the cottage, or hide something from the village. For the current subordinate camps of Jinding Mountain, it has become more and more impossible. Since the betrayal of the original gentleman's henchmen, the gentleman who suffered a loss once has made a lot of changes.

Although the second uncle (Guan Zhiqing) and Mr. did not say it explicitly, from some details, Guan Yuze could feel that the organization of the cottage was becoming more and more tight. Even the number of personal soldiers under the leaders has begun to be restricted.

As for the cantonments under the cottage, there is more than one buried pile in each place, and they absolutely don't know each other. When following Mr. to inspect everywhere, although Guan Yuze couldn't see who it was, Mr. could find out everything every time, and it was by no means something that could be figured out by a secret pile.

Maybe in the future, when he leaves the cottage to fight with his second uncle, there will be one or several hidden piles around him. Every time he thought of this, Guan Yuze's heart became very complicated.

Although Jinding Mountain is still that place full of vitality, Guan Yuze has long noticed those abnormal movements hidden in the shadows.

Could it be that Jinding Mountain will start to become suffocating in the future, this is really not what I want to see. Guan Yuze looked at Mr. Zhang Shuangxi and Tun Chang, who were still riding on a horse, and prayed silently in his heart.

A large part of the light and darkness of Jinding Mountain is manipulated by Mr. I hope that Mr. Gentleman, who has always been relaxed, will not lose control of the situation one day in the future.
