(PS: Hou Ye is a good talker, even if he stays up until eleven o'clock, he has to add the code promised the day before yesterday, and when he waits for twelve o'clock, it is estimated that he will not be able to update, and he needs to wait until tomorrow morning.) After finishing this update, Hou Ye has to continue to stay up late at a little code, and strive to keep two chapters updated every day. ）

………………………………………………

Early that morning, after Nie Zheng said goodbye to Wang Gang, Yang Feihu, Jia Xiufang and other leaders who stayed behind in the cottage, he led Zhang Dazhuang and other fifty army volcanic thieves all the way to the wild boar forest sixty miles away.

The Wild Boar Forest is sixty miles away from the Black Wind Ridge, and because of the route, the Wild Boar Forest is much closer to the Qingzhu Ridge.

If Shen Jiazhai also left this morning, they might be able to resist the wild boar forest an hour or two earlier than Nie Zheng and the others.

Recently, due to the winter, the temperature in the entire Longhu Mountain is getting lower and lower.

And this morning, the sky was overcast, there was no sun, and the icy cold wind was blowing non-stop in the mountains, although Nie Zheng was wearing a fur coat, but sitting on the horse, he still felt a little cold.

It may be that Nie Zheng was a southerner before he was reborn, he lived in the warm south since he was a child, and he never went to the northwest during the cold season, so compared to other bandits in Heifeng Village, Nie Zheng was a little more afraid of the cold.

Besides, people like Zhang Dazhuang, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu grew up in Longhu Mountain when they were young, and they are used to the climate here, plus they have the foundation of martial arts and fitness, and they are far more than ordinary people like Nie Zheng in terms of resisting the cold.

In this way, under the guidance of Zhang Dazhuang and others, Nie Zheng wrapped his head in a leather hat all the way, and it took several hours until the afternoon of the same day to arrive at the wild boar forest.

The wild boar forest is actually a valley overgrown with towering trees.

In this valley, a large number of wild boars rush down from the top of the mountains on both sides of the valley during the winter snowfall, hence the name of the wild boar forest.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Nie Zheng's team joined up with the Shen family and horses waiting in the wild boar forest.

Before entering the valley, from a distance, Nie Zheng saw Niu Meng's familiar figure like an iron tower, waiting at the entrance of the valley.

After seeing his uncle's men and horses arrive, Niu Meng immediately shouted, informing the other people in the forest to come out to greet his uncle together.

Sure enough, after a while, I saw Yi Zixuan wearing a black coat, leading hundreds of elites of the Shen family with a white breath in his mouth, and hugged him respectfully.

"Meet my uncle!"

"Young Eagle, you haven't had lunch yet, we just warmed up the wine and batter in the forest, you hurry in and eat something, warm up."

Yi Zixuan and Niu Meng enthusiastically came to Nie Zheng and the others and brought them into the valley.

At this time, Nie Zheng also casually greeted him, and then unceremoniously followed Niu Meng and them into the valley.

Under a sheltered pit in the stone wall in the valley, several minions of the Shen family were setting up firewood there, hanging iron kettles and iron pots and other simple utensils, boiling warm spirits and batter.

Seeing this scene, Nie Zheng immediately turned over and dismounted, walked quickly to the fire, and couldn't wait to stretch out his hands and roast them next to the fire.

Sitting on the back of the horse and being blown by the biting cold wind for so long, Nie Zheng's hands were already a little numb from the cold.

Seeing this scene, Yi Zixuan, who was standing next to him, hurriedly instructed the minions: "Hurry up and serve a bowl of paste for my uncle, and pour a glass of liquor to warm up." ”

"Yes, sir."

When several minions heard this, they immediately and quickly complied.

Nie Zheng took the hot wine and warm paste handed over by several minions, and looked around without moving, looking at it, he didn't find Shen Hongyu's delicate shadow, and he was secretly a little strange in his heart.

Yi Zixuan knew who he was looking for, so he immediately sat down slowly on the stone next to Nie Zheng, stretched out his hand to pick up the firewood in the fire, and said lightly: "Don't look at it, the red jade didn't come this time." ”

"Oh, so she didn't come."

Knowing that Shen Hongyu did not come with him, Nie Zheng's heart was faintly disappointed.

Now that he hasn't seen the woman for a few days, he still misses it in his heart, and it is estimated that the reason why he has not seen a woman for too long in this strange ancient country has caused him to be panicked now, and his yin and yang are a little out of balance.

Nie Zheng took a sip of soju, and suddenly felt a hot current burn down his throat all the way to the dantian, and in an instant, his whole body became a little hot.

With the steaming mush, Nie Zheng ate without a bite, and asked casually pretending not to care, "Uncle Yi, why didn't Hongyu go to the alliance meeting together this time?" ”

Yi Zixuan added a few more sticks of firewood to the fire, and said: "Because of the reason for the dispersal of Gong some time ago, Hongyu practiced Qi and recuperated, so it was not suitable to run around, and the cottage needed her to guard it, so I didn't come over." ”

Nie Zheng nodded and asked with concern, "How long will it take for Hongyu to recover?" ”

Yi Zixuan turned his head to look at him, and said with a smile: "You are enlightened now, and you know that you care about your daughter-in-law." Saying this, he sighed softly and said, "Hongyu was too anxious to practice last time, which caused her true qi to go retrograde, and it is estimated that she will not be able to recover in a few months." ”

Hearing this, Nie Zheng pondered slightly for a moment, and said, "Is there any medicine that can help her recover quickly, last time I went to attack the Long Knife Gate, and I brought back a lot of medicine from there, I don't know if it can come in handy." ”

Yi Zixuan shook his head and said, "It's useless, ordinary medicine can't solve this problem, and she still has to rely on herself to slowly recuperate." By the way, you have to be mentally prepared to go to Tiger Village this time. ”

"Mentally prepared?"

Nie Zheng was stunned for a moment, and said puzzledly: "What kind of psychological preparation?" ”

Yi Zixuan sighed deeply and said, "The alliance meeting held by Qiu Xiaotian this time is different from the Jiuzhai Alliance meeting in previous years. In previous years, the Jiuzhai League, mainly for those who borrowed the dart car caravan from our Nanhu territory to worship the mountain money and borrow the road dividends, at that time, the alliance was to share the interests evenly, to avoid those dart caravans crossing from the South Tiger, repeatedly blackmailed and embarrassed by the major mountains, at the same time, but also in order to protect those dart caravans, no longer by the rest of the bandits and rogues, so every year in the past, the nine villages of the Southern Tiger will routinely hold an alliance meeting, so that all the mountain forces in our Nanhu territory, There is a long-term and stable survival plan.

But this time the situation is different, this time Qiu Xiaotian held an alliance meeting in order to unite all the mountain bandit forces in the entire Longhu Mountain, and prepare to form an elite force to fight against the upcoming Xipinghou army, so once the alliance is successful, it is estimated that all the mountain bandit forces in the entire Longhu Mountain will leave the original mountain in accordance with the order of the alliance leader, and re-establish an unprecedented huge mountain force. Since we have decided to go to the alliance this time, it means that we have agreed with Qiu Xiaotian's plan, so once the alliance is successfully elected, according to the rules, everyone in our Dragon and Tiger Mountain must obey the command and orders of the alliance leader, otherwise, it is a violation of the mountain rules, and they will be expelled and hunted down by the entire Dragon and Tiger Mountain. ”

Hearing this, Nie Zheng nodded and said, "I know this very well, since I have decided to participate in the alliance, I naturally have this mental preparation in my heart. ”

Yi Zixuan nodded, and sighed helplessly: "At present, the entire Longhu Mountain is in danger, if you are not careful, any mountain force is in danger of destroying people at any time, if you want to survive this crisis, there is no other way than to form an alliance." There are pros and cons to forming an alliance, and now we can only take one step at a time. ”

As for the real purpose of going to Menghu Village to participate in the alliance conference, Nie Zheng was not ready to tell Yi Zixuan in a hurry now.

If Nie Zheng told Yi Zixuan about his idea of competing for the position of the leader of the Dragon and Tiger Alliance, it is estimated that everyone, including Yi Zixuan, would think he was crazy.

Perhaps, for the sake of his safety, Yi Zixuan would definitely decide to give up going to the alliance conference on the spot and use coercive means to send Nie Zheng back to the cottage.

The Shen family would rather not participate in the alliance meeting than be half injured by their uncle.

Without knowing Nie Zheng's real hole cards, no matter who he is, he dares to challenge Qiu Xiaotian, who has the most competitive strength of the alliance leader, at the alliance conference, and he is undoubtedly asking for hardship.

Therefore, before arriving at the Tiger Village, Nie Zheng must hide his purpose of competing for the position of the leader of the Dragon and Tiger Alliance in his heart and not let anyone know. Except for Jia Xiufang, of course.
