Seeing that the enemy is currently in power, Ling Zhen, the big boss of Heiyang Village, gathered everyone together, but he didn't come to arrange tactics or to encourage people's hearts, but told everyone very bluntly that this time the battle will be nine deaths, and I don't want everyone to stay and play with their lives, and those who want to leave can leave now.

The brothers in the audience all admired Ling Zhen's character, and naturally knew that his words would not be a routine to test people's hearts, but indeed to persuade the brothers to flee for their lives.

The many bandits in Heiyang Village are indeed not good people, they are a group of refugees, outcasts, fugitives and bastards, and they are even more reckless and lawless at the beginning. After Ling Zhen went up the mountain eight years ago, he persuaded people by force, and then persuaded people with loyalty and righteousness, and naturally sat on the top spot of the cottage and set many rules. Over the years, it is true that the people of Heiyang Village have not robbed the poor people of Chihe Village, nor have they slaughtered innocent people viciously, but they have also taken oil and water from the passing caravans, and when they encountered uncooperative convoys, they also drew their swords and fought, and blood spattered five steps. I have done a lot of robbing the rich, but I have never done anything to help the poor.

Ling Zhen did not play a similar pretense of "doing the right thing for heaven", he simply led more than 90 people to fall into the grass on this mountain, but compared with other mountain bandits, there are more bottom lines, although this bottom line is not "conscience", but it can be said to be "human nature" or "morality".

But after all, he is a mountain bandit, and it seems to be a matter of course to be surrounded and suppressed by the bandit team.

Some people are greedy for life and afraid of death, which should be understandable.

Ling Zhen looked at everyone in the field, frowned slightly, and said: "I don't want to talk to you, and I'm not scaring you, I don't know how many people will die in this battle, you don't care about brotherhood, morality, life is gone, there is nothing!" ”

There was silence for a moment, but no one moved, until a moment later, the black-faced man called the black bear took two steps forward and bowed slightly towards Ling Zhen. He said: "Big boss, the reason why I made trouble and killed people back then was because that man insulted my brother, so I slashed him with a knife, and then let the government hunt him down." With so many brothers here today, how could my black bear escape? Even if I die here, my mother will be taken care of by the neighbors, and she will not be hungry or cold. She didn't want her son to be a bastard! ”

Brother Uesugi here also coughed lightly, and said with an indifferent smile: "My parents, brothers and sisters have been separated for many years, I do miss them, I will still find them, maybe one day I will pat my ass and go down the mountain when I save enough money, but I can't leave today, I'm afraid that if I get separated from you again, where will I go to find you." ”

Two of them started, and the others all bowed to the big boss and swore not to leave.

"Black Sheep Village is Lao Tzu's home, where else can I go."

"We won't leave, the head has fallen off and there is a big scar, who is afraid of whom!"

"This broken knife hasn't cut people for a long time, and it's going to rust if you don't use it anymore! If the bandit team dares to come, we will cut him! ”

The big boss looked at the group of brothers in front of him, his eyes were complicated, and he was sad and annoyed with relief, he was silent for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, since that's the case, I won't say more, our life and death depend on the success or failure of the sky!" Come on, get the wine! Take half of it for the brothers to strengthen their courage, and the remaining half will be drunk when the battle is won! ”

After a while, more than twenty jars of wine were brought up from the cellar, and the wine bowls were not enough, so two or three brothers shared a bowl, and everyone soon drank together.

Ling Zhen turned his head to look at Jiang Ling and the others, motioned to send them a jar of wine, and then said to everyone: "By the way, brothers, these three young people are here to help our Black Sheep Village, and they are also our brothers for the time being. ”

Jiang Ling and the three of them nodded to the big boss, and a fat man here drank a bowl of wine in his hand, wiped it on his mouth, and asked very directly: "The big boss, these two boys, and a girl, where did these three people come from?" Can you trust it? ”

"Lao Biao, don't look at other people's youth, let alone underestimate this woman, just take out one of the three of them, and even your Lao Tzu won't recognize you if you can beat you." Ling Zhen smiled open-mindedly: "As for whether these three guys can be trusted, I have to ask you three masters, the people he brought back, if there is any problem, you can find the third brother to reason." ”

Everyone laughed, disagreed, and continued to drink.

Ling Zhen turned around at this time, looked at Lu Qingshan, and asked in a low voice, "What do you think are the odds of winning?" ”

"Fifty percent." Lu Qingshan said hoarsely.

Ling Zhen pondered for a moment, looked at Lu Qingshan's eyes that were only exposed, and said, "How many brothers do you have to die?" ”

Lu Qingshan lowered his head and did not answer.

Ling Zhen sighed and said gloomily, "I hope that the remaining half of the wine in the wine cellar can be drunk." ”

Suddenly, Ling Zhen picked up a bowl of wine, turned around and came to the second master, he looked at the mourning Xiao and said slowly: "Eight years ago, I robbed you of your position, became the boss, and made you the second master, do you still hate me?" ”

The fierce-looking mourning Xiao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then shook his head and said: "Chen Sesame is rotten grain, I lost to you back then, and I was convinced, so what is there to hold a grudge against." ”

Ling Zhen touched the wine bowl with him, drank all the wine in the bowl, then patted Fu Xiao's shoulder, turned around and left.

"After this battle, whether I live or die, this position will be returned to you."

Fu Xiao turned his head to look at Ling Zhen's back, his pupils trembled slightly, and a glimmer of light flashed under his eyes.

........

On the Black Sheep Mountain, thirty-four figures quickly shuttled through the forest, everyone was dressed in black, and the figures were one after another, like a dark cloud, approaching the Black Sheep Village.

Yan Beirin walked forward briskly and said, "Maeda, I will deal with the big boss in a while, and you will deal with the third master, that is, the one wearing the mask." ”

Maeda wondered: "What about the second master?" ”

"You don't have to worry about it." Yan Beirin replied indifferently.

"Yes."

"As for the other bandits, just kill them." A cold light flashed in Yan Beirin's eyes, and he said, "But remember one thing, even if you can't completely eradicate the Black Sheep Village today, you can't let that big boss run away!" ”

"Understood." Maeda was full of answers, but at this time his heart was full of doubts.

In fact, from the very beginning, when this Yan-sama found the patrol camp and revealed his identity, Maeda was very surprised. He didn't understand how such a person could run to the patrol team to ask for troops to suppress bandits, although theoretically Lord Yan did not have such authority, but no one dared to disobey his orders, on the one hand, because of his strong strength, and on the other hand, because of the force he represented, the Divine Court!

This messenger of the gods rarely interferes in worldly affairs, and has always obeyed the will of the gods and done some earth-shattering things, how can he lead troops to suppress bandits!?

Although Maeda was puzzled, he naturally didn't dare to ask more, the position of the Divine Court in this world was not lower than the imperial power, and even exceeded. Besides, with the envoy of the Divine Court leading the team to suppress bandits, the success rate will be much greater, and it will be easy to fight side by side and make a fortune.

The question is, what is hidden in this anti-bandit operation?

Maeda is naturally also a good person, he is not blindly optimistic, in fact, he has been pondering all the possibilities - why the envoy of the divine court wants to suppress the bandits, but he just can't guess accurately.

There are two situations with the greatest possibility, first, there is a treasure hidden on the Black Sheep Mountain, which attracts the envoy of the Divine Court to pick it up. Second, there is someone on Black Sheep Mountain, who is worthy of the personal intervention of the special envoy of the Divine Court.

Now that he heard Yan Beirin say that he must leave the big boss of Black Sheep Village, Maeda almost confirmed that the problem was with the big boss. However, Maeda still didn't understand who deserved to be personally intervened by the envoy of the Divine Court.

The bandit team led the way by Mu An, and after a short time they had approached the gate of Heiyang Village, Mu An hid behind a tree and said in a low voice: "This is the gate of Heiyang Village, it seems that someone is sentry, do you need to make a detour?" ”

Yan Beirin sneered: "No need." ”

Maeda waved his hand, and two of the team opened their bows and arrows, pulled the strings like a full moon, and shot them directly, and the two mountain bandits guarding the gate fell in response, both of them were pierced by an arrow through the neck.

Yan Beirin said: "Let's go." ”

A group of more than 30 people suddenly accelerated, like a fish swimming into the sea, and the figure rushed into the Black Sheep Village in a flash.

At the same time as they entered Dazhai, a rapid and powerful bell suddenly sounded on the Black Sheep Mountain, startling the birds in the mountains and forests.

Maeda glanced up and sneered, "It seems that he is ready to greet him." ”

Yan Bei Rin said indifferently: "Then let's kill it." ”

The group had long since stopped hiding their whereabouts and quickly rushed up the mountain, and the brothers of the Black Sheep Village also gathered together and waited for them on the mountainside.

Ling Zhen stood majestically in the middle of the crowd with his hands on his chest, he raised his eyes to look at Maeda, and chuckled, "Isn't this the deputy captain of Maeda?" If I'm not mistaken, I came to Heiyang Village eight years ago, and you became the deputy captain of the patrol team in the same year, why do you only remember to go up the mountain to die now? ”

Maeda snorted and sneered: "You know Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu doesn't know you, since you know that Lao Tzu made you live happily on this mountain for eight years, don't forget to say a few good words to Lao Tzu when you get to the king of Hades." ”

Ling Zhen was unmoved, and even ignored Maeda anymore, but turned his head to look at Yan Beirin. Ling Zhen stared at Yan Beirin and said slowly: "No matter how fierce the dog barks, it's just a dog, but... It's not a shame to be a dog in the Divine Court. ”

Yan Bei Rin's face was unwavering, and he said indifferently: "It seems that you also know me." ”

"The Divine Court's operations are confidential and cautious, there are really not many people I can find out, but fortunately, I know you." Ling Zhen's eyes showed a cold light, and he said in a deep voice: "Deacon of the Divine Court, Yan Beirin." ”

"Well, it looks like you're not going to die." Yan Beirin glanced at the other people on the Black Sheep Village, and waved his hand indifferently: "The big boss has been in charge for so long, presumably you brothers have a deep relationship, then, this Black Sheep Village.... I'm going to bury you with you. ”
