Chapter 36: Tension
The north wind howled, bringing not only the biting cold, but also the choking blood. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Hao Xiong stood at the bottom of the hill, his face was gloomy as if he could freeze, and his whole person looked solemn and abnormal.
In fact, except for Hao Xiong, the 54 officials present all took out their weapons to defend themselves as if they were facing a great enemy, and even their faces were a little flustered, and even their legs couldn't help shaking.
And the reason for all this is this disgusting and terrible scene in front of you.
At this time, under the howling of the cold wind, this rich blood not only did not disperse, but became more intense, and the sound of the wind blowing in the ears also changed, just like the wailing of the dead, which made people shudder.
Originally, the officials were still shouting to avenge the villagers, but at this time, most of them retreated in their hearts, and in the final analysis, they were just a group of ordinary officials with enthusiasm but almost zero actual combat experience.
Walking out of the crowd, Huangfu Mu looked ahead, dozens of people were close together, holding weapons, their faces full of fear.
People from the government?
Although there are a lot of people, the momentum is inevitably a little weak, and there is no resolute temperament.
Defeat without a fight!
Huangfu Mu frowned, these people actually gave him such a feeling.
"I can't complain that this hundred miles of land is divided by bandits, how can this kind of power resist those fierce bandits who have done all the bad things?
Thinking of this, Huangfu Mu couldn't help but sigh, and he was a little disappointed with the government of this era.
What he was thinking in his heart, Huangfu Mu didn't express it on his face, he swept over the other party one by one, and saw that standing at the front of the official was a middle-aged man, this person was born with a dragon and tiger, and his body exuded an iron-blooded temperament.
Presumably, this is the leader of this group.
"I'm a villager of Zuoquan Village, and I didn't know that adults were coming, so I was rude." Huangfu Mu stepped forward and said with a slight salute.
"Village...... Villager? Seeing a teenager walking out of the crowd, Hao Xiong was immediately vigilant, but when Huang Fumu finished introducing him, his face was even more solemn, not a bandit? Is it a villager? How is this possible!
They tracked down the roe deer mountain bandits all the way, in order to intercept the other party before they did worse and worse things, but all the way after them, they found many corpses of the roe deer mountain bandits here, the number was so large that even Hao Xiong had never heard of it.
Unlike Wang Feng's kind of slippery person, Hao Xiong has served in Yingjiang County for many years, of course, he can see clearly that it is Eagle's Beak Mountain, which is also one of the three mountains, that has a fight with Roe Deer Mountain.
This really surprised Hao Xiong.
He didn't expect that it was not only Roe Deer Mountain that went down the mountain this time, but also many bandits in Eagle's Beak Mountain with the same name!
Although Eagle Beak Mountain is not very notorious compared to Roe Deer Mountain, they are also mountain bandits, and they have done such a heart-wrenching massacre here, which makes Hao Xiong feel like a great enemy, and he is ready to fight against him at any time.
But just when Hao Xiong thought that the young man in front of him was a bandit from Eagle Beak Mountain, the other party actually introduced him as an ordinary villager, this, how is this possible?!
"What nonsense are you talking about, there are all bandits here, how can you be a villager of Zuoquan Village?" Hao Xiong's eyes narrowed half-narrowed, and his tone was suspicious.
Huangfu Mu shook his head and said, "I didn't lie to you, my lord, I am indeed a villager of Zuoquan Village. ”
Seeing that Huangfu Mu's face was delicate, he was not like the lawless bandit in the ordinary mountains, but Hao Xiong still had some disbelief in his heart, his eyes were still cold and jealous, and he didn't say a word.
Looking at the other party's expression, Huangfu Mu couldn't help but smile bitterly, he really didn't know how to prove his identity.
"Ahem...... Brother Hao ...... "Just when Huangfu Mu was helpless, Han Chou moved step by step and came to Hao Xiong with the support of the villagers.
"Brother Han! How did you get this out? Seeing it clearly, Hao Xiong was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to support Han Chou.
Han Chou is dedicated to the village, and he is the enemy of Roe Deer Mountain, this kind of deeds is not only spread in the mountains and wilderness, but even in Yingjiang County, there are many discussions, all saying that this person is a good man, dare to do things that others dare not do.
Hao Xiong, who is concerned about Yingjiang and has nowhere to show his ambitions, is also impressed when he hears it, and has personally visited him, the two are of similar age and temperament are also very compatible.
"Acquaintances? That's easy! I didn't expect the other party to have such a relationship, Huangfu Mu was very settled, and his face was a little more relaxed.
At this time, Han Chou was very weak, but his face was full of perseverance as always, and he said slowly: "It's okay, I was just attacked by Yue Pingchuan, and I can't die......"
Yue Pingchuan!
Hearing the name of the bandit leader of Roe Deer Mountain, Hao Xiong's face was a little weird, and he said worriedly: "I heard that this Yue Pingchuan is a good hand, Brother Han actually made a sneak attack on him, and he must have been injured a lot, don't wait, you will go back to the county seat with me, I still have a few familiar doctors there, I ......"
Han Chou shook his head and didn't let the other party continue: "Brother Hao...... There's nothing wrong with me, I just want to tell you that the gang of villains in Roe Deer Mountain has been annihilated by us, and no one has been spared. ”
Speaking of this, Han Chou paused, pointed at the Huangfu Mu and said: "This matter is thanks to this Huangfu Gongzi, if it weren't for the other party, my Zuoquan Village would not have destroyed the enemy so quickly, of course, I think Brother Hao, you can also see that this time it is not only us, but also the people of Yingzui Mountain, of course, the other party is still invited down the mountain by this Huangfu Mugongzi." ”
Hao Xiong heard two important news. First, Roe Deer Mountain has been destroyed, and even the bandit leader Yue Pingchuan is among them. The second is that these people standing in front of him are really the people of Eagle Beak Mountain.
It's just that why did Han Chou fight the enemy with the personnel of Eagle's Beak Mountain?
Also, who is this imperial husband?
After intersecting with Han Chou for a long time, Hao Xiong is very aware of the other party's temper, cold on the outside and hot on the inside, no matter what emotions he has, he is not good at expressing them.
But now, when such an indifferent warrior in the past introduced the so-called Huangfu Gongzi, his waist was deliberately lowered by half an inch, which was skillfully captured by Hao Xiong.
Hao Xiong didn't want to ask what kind of ability this imperial prince had to convince Han Chou, at the moment, what he wanted to know most was how the roe deer mountain would fall? Also, why were the bandits in Eagle's Beak Mountain implicated?
However, one thing Hao Xiong can be sure of is that this is a conspiracy against Roe Deer Mountain.
Even Yue Pingchuan, the entire roe deer mountain bandits died here, even if the purpose of Hao Xiong's trip was to stop the roe deer mountain, but seeing this scene in front of him, he still couldn't help but feel frightened from the bottom of his heart.
Conspiracy? Wait, don't you think?!
Hao Xiong seemed to suddenly think of something, and he suddenly asked Han Chou: "Brother Han, tell me the truth, Li Ping was killed in the county a few days ago, did you do it?!" ”
