Three quarters of an hour ago, Jiang Ling and the three of them left the village and marched towards Black Sheep Mountain.

On the way, Jiang Ling smiled bitterly and said, "When I went into the village, I didn't seem to find out anything." ”

"I can't say that." Leia also teased, "At least we know that this triad should be useless." ”

Hull snorted lightly: "Co-authoring this president Kigan is a waste material, I originally thought that this triad was a neutral force that could be co-opted." ”

Jiang Ling shrugged his shoulders, and then said, "At least three things have been confirmed, first, the bandit suppression team is almost here." Second, judging from the situation of Mugan alone, the triad will not be too strong. Third, judging from Mu'an's attitude, the bandit squad is very strong. ”

"Oh?" Hull wondered, "How do you see the last point?" ”

Jiang Ling responded: "In any case, Mu An still understands the strength of Black Sheep Village, and from his confident appearance, it is not difficult to speculate that the strength of the bandit suppression team will be very strong." ”

Hull thought for a moment and said, "Actually, these three pieces of information are not very meaningful, and you can guess it." ”

"Indeed." Jiang Ling replied casually, he didn't say anything nonsense like "I wouldn't have entered the village if I knew this was the case, it's a waste of time", and Leia and Hull didn't say anything, after all, they are both professional players and won't ignore the process because of the result.

"But why is the name of this battlefield called Chihe Village?" Jiang Ling still doesn't understand this, he always feels that the information given by the system has a basic prompt function, since the name of the battlefield is Chihe Village, it means that the plot of this battlefield should revolve around Chihe Village, otherwise why not call it Black Sheep Mountain?

Leia roughly understood what Jiang Ling was thinking, and said with a smile: "We have also been to Chihe Village, and there is indeed nothing too noteworthy, so don't worry about this." ”

Jiang Ling knocked on the door of his head and said, "That's right, hurry up the mountain, you must gain the trust of the Black Mountain Cottage bandits before the bandit team comes." ”

The three of them continued to move forward, although they did not deliberately accelerate, but after all, the three of them were all cultivators of the Earth Transformation Realm, and their travel speed naturally exceeded that of ordinary people, and the distance of twenty miles could be reached in more than half an hour. This time is also enough for the three of them to discuss strategies and speculate and analyze the next situation.

Leia said: "Although there may be some problems with these three masters, after all, we have met with him, and the breakthrough is still on him." ”

Jiang Ling nodded and replied: "At present, we don't know much about the big boss and the second master, but there seems to be a lot of doubt in the third master Lu Qingshan. ”

Lei Ya thought for a while and said: "In the mouth of the village chief, Lu Qingshan is a scheming and vicious person who hides a knife in his smile, but judging from his previous behavior of beheading the tiger, he is a good man who talks about the morality of the rivers and lakes, and it doesn't seem to be pretending, which is very unreasonable." ”

Jiang Ling analyzed: "There may be three situations, first, the village chief has a misunderstanding of Lu Qingshan, although this is unlikely, but after all, the village chief does not know much about Heiyang Mountain, and may have misunderstood Lu Qingshan because of something, thinking that he is a wicked person who is quite deep in the city. ”

Hel shook his head when he heard this, and said, "It's almost impossible. ”

Jiang Ling didn't refute, because this point is indeed very unlikely, the village chief is a simple person, obviously the kind of person who will not belittle others casually, even if the object is a mountain bandit. Jiang Ling continued: "A more realistic situation is that Lu Qingshan, the third master, is not compatible with the second master. ”

"So on the grounds that Huzi 'broke the rules set by the big boss', he took the opportunity to kill the subordinates of the second boss to suppress the forces of the second boss." Léa thought of this and nodded in agreement.

"The third case." Jiang Ling bit his lower lip, narrowed his eyes and said, "It's because of what happened that this three-master family has changed, and it has become different from before." ”

Leia pondered for a moment when she heard this, and said, "What does it have to do with that fire?" After the fire, Mu Yuan, the former president of the triad, did not just run for his life, but tried his best to suppress the fire, causing himself to be buried in the fire, but Lu Qingshan escaped the catastrophe, so Lu Qingshan was grateful to Mu Yuan, so he also gave more support to the villagers of Chihe Village? ”

Jiang Ling said: "It's reasonable to think so, but I always feel that it's not that simple." ”

Léa asked, "Is there any other possibility?" ”

"That fire happened really strangely, and I even very much suspect that Lu Qingshan designed to kill Mu Yuan." Jiang Ling opened his mouth like this.

Hearing this, Leia and Hull both pondered, and Jiang Ling's guess was also reasonable.

In terms of the relationship or motives between the two parties, even though the big boss and Mu Yuan had an unknown secret talk, it seems that some kind of contract was set so that Heiyangzhai would not invade the village, but after all, mountain bandits are mountain bandits, and if they don't rob the common people, what are they called mountain bandits. However, the existence of the triad makes it impossible for the Black Sheep Village to extend its greedy black hand to the Chihe Village like a lamb to be slaughtered, as long as the triad president is killed, the Red River Village will lose a barrier, and the Black Sheep Village will naturally be slaughtered.

Another point is that judging from the situation at that time, it can be guessed from the words of the village chief that the former president Mu Yuan has a good strength, and he should have the strength of the Heavenly Change Realm. A sudden fire may leave many civilians helpless and unable to escape, but how could someone with Mu Yuan's strength not be able to escape? Is it really because of drunkenness?

"I don't think it should be the Black Sheep Village that deliberately eliminated the triad president and set up a killing situation." Leia said: "If it is true that the Black Sheep Village wants to get rid of the protective barrier of Chihe Village, they will not maintain a gentleman's agreement with Chihe Village until now. ”

"That's something else." Jiang Ling muttered.

"What if we were wrong, like it was really an accident?" ”

Leia shook her head and said, "It won't be that simple, and haven't you noticed Mu An's attitude towards Black Sheep Village?" It stands to reason that the Black Sheep Village has existed for so many years, and the big boss and Mu Yuan also have an inexplicable relationship, and they are very 'kind' to the people in the village, so it stands to reason that Mu An should not hate them so much. ”

From the point of view of the mountain bandits, it is indeed a benevolent act to be able to do not enter the village in front of them to loot, but only collect some rice, noodles and wine every month. Heiyang Village and Chihe Village have been peaceful for so many years, and it can be seen from the attitude of the village chief that although the villagers are afraid of Heiyang Village, they are not very hateful.

Jiang Ling also thought of this when he heard this, and continued: "So Mu An is also suspicious in his heart, or he knows very well that his father's death is inseparable from Heiyang Village. ”

"Maybe it's because of a personal vendetta." Hull shook his head and said, "Let's find out when we go up the mountain." ”

Jiang Ling responded: "There are indeed not many clues at present, and if you think about it more, it will be random speculation." ”

The three of them walked on the path in the wilderness, and it was past noon, but fortunately there were a few clouds that blocked the sun, making it less dazzling. The three of them sped up and quickly rushed to the Black Sheep Village.

…..

On Heiyang Mountain, there is a camp on the mountain, although this camp is not majestic or luxurious, but it covers a large area. A fortress of stone and loess, a fence made of stout wood, and two arrow towers guarded the entrance to the cottage.

There is a hall in the village, and in the center of the hall is written the three words "Black Sheep Village" with iron hook silver painting. At this time, more than 20 people gathered in the hall, all of whom were relatively high-status figures in the Black Sheep Village.

"Huzi followed me to take root in Heiyang Mountain from the beginning, earlier than you, although his strength is not good, but he can be regarded as a veteran-level figure, and he is also a righteous and affectionate brother on weekdays, and he is my confidant."

One of them spoke, his hair was thin, and there was a finger-long scar on the left side of his head, which cut his left eyebrow in two, and under the eyebrows were a pair of fierce beast-like eyes, faintly revealing a fierce light. This man is also a typical bandit, fat and strong, with a layer of solid muscles under the fat on the outside, his clothes only cover his left shoulder and abdomen, and his right shoulder and the arm as thick as an ordinary person's thigh are exposed.

The bandit, who looked like a fierce and vicious look, suppressed his anger and said: "But now, you have brought his head back to me, third child, have you gone too far?" ”

The gray-masked Sandang stood in the middle of the hall, and in the box at his feet was the head of the tiger. Hearing the aggressive questioning of the second master, the third master just replied in his hoarse voice: "He broke the rules of the big boss." ”

The second master naturally asked what happened before, and at this time he gritted his teeth and said: "He violated the law and attacked the villagers, he should indeed be punished, but he is not guilty of death, right?" After all, it's my people, so I should always do education, right? ”

"Your people?" The third master replied nonchalantly: "He is from the Black Sheep Village. ”

The second master was very angry by the attitude of the third master, clenched his fists, and shouted in a low voice: "Lu Qingshan! You don't have to give Lao Tzu an upline, Huzi is the brother of Black Sheep Mountain, you killed him because of such a small mistake, you have to give an explanation to the brothers! ”

Lu Qingshan continued: "Heiyang Village is not the same group of wild people in the mountains in the past, now we are talking about rules, there are no rules, there is no circle, this time to kill the tiger, but also to remind the brothers." ”

"You think you have the final say in Black Sheep Village!" The second master snorted, stood up angrily and said, "Just ask the brothers present whether Huzi should be killed!?" ”

Lu Qingshan's mask covered his expression, he stood in place without any movement, ignoring the whispering brothers around him, and just turned his gaze to the big boss, and after a while, everyone looked at the big boss.

In the center of the north of the hall sat a tiger skin chair, on which a muscular man sits, leaning on his elbow and his palm propped up his cheek over his brow, as if he were asleep.

But even so, there is a strange feeling that in that chair, it does not seem that a person is napping, but a tiger with its eyes closed.

Even when he closed his eyes, all eyes converged, and no one spoke.

"Huzi broke the rules, and he didn't obey Qingshan's discipline, so let's die." There was a lazy and undoubted voice from the chair, and he continued: "Mourning, bury the tiger, and if the people under Qingshan commit crimes in the future, you can also take care of it." If... Do you have to divide the brothers into which ones are yours, which ones are from the green mountains, and which ones... It's mine. ”

Originally, the second boss mourned and wanted to say a few words of opposition, but when the big boss said the latter sentence, a chill suddenly rose from his heart, he swallowed what he was going to say, snorted, nodded and didn't dare to say more.

Ganging up and fighting in the courts, this is the last thing the boss wants to see, and it is also something that can easily lead to death, mourning knows that what he said before has caused the displeasure of the big boss, how dare he say more.

The hall that was originally full of discussions, as the big boss closed the coffin, no one else said another half a word.

Whether it is convincing or deterrent, in short, the big boss easily suppressed this matter.

The big boss here still closed his eyes and said slowly: "Third brother, I didn't ask you to go down the mountain to kill your brother, how did I do the things I explained?" ”

Qingshan responded: "It has been investigated, the bandit team is ready to set off, and in two hours at the latest, it will be at Heiyang Mountain." ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly resounded with the sound of surprise and discussion, and the big boss slowly sat up straight and opened his eyes.

Those eyes seemed to be two pitch-black pools of water, bottomless. He said, "The main reason for inviting you here today is to inform you about this matter. ”

"Our Black Sheep Village is about to come to a catastrophe."
