Chapter 11: The Defeat
The sun sets and the moon rises. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The cold moon shone silently on the snowfield, and the cold wind became even colder.
Jiang Feng finished his meditation, looked at the still closed gate and the lights on the ice bridge, and sighed lightly and slowly got up.
Hey, it seems that I have no chance with Red Lotus Village after all.
Thinking of this, Jiang Feng couldn't help but feel a sense of loneliness rising in his heart.
When Xiao Qi was here before, he hadn't had it yet.
But now, he is alone, and Xiao Qi doesn't know where he went.
In the vast other world, alone.
Jiang Feng suddenly missed his parents in another world.
He slowly got up and shook off the ice and snow from his body.
Clothes have become stiff due to the long period of freezing.
Forget it, no one helps, I can also find Xiaoqi~!
He glanced at the red lotus village under the moonlight, and was about to turn around and leave.
But at this moment, the gate creaked open.
Niu Guodong laughed, took Han Hu and Violent Bear, and ran out.
"Boy, boy, wait for a hurry, damn, the stockade is too big!"
Niu Guodong strode over, grabbed Jiang Feng and said, "No problem, the owner of the village agreed." Haha, my old cow is out of the horse, a top two......!
On the side, Han Hu and Storm Bear scratched their heads and smiled, looking at Jiang Feng, full of joy.
Looking at Lao Niu's sincere and happy smile, Jiang Feng was very moved.
He lowered his head, mumbled, and followed Niu Guodong and the three of them towards the stockade.
When he entered the door, Niu Guodong also pointed at Jiang Feng and shouted provocatively at the guards on the ice bridge: "Wipe your eyes in the future, this is my brother, do you know each other?"
The guard also knew the name of Niu Guodong's second pole, and he didn't argue with him, just smiled and nodded.
"Let's go, my brother will take you to dinner!"
Niu Guodong pulled Jiang Feng and walked into the ice bridge and into the Red Lotus Village.
As soon as he entered the Red Lotus Village, Jiang Feng was attracted by the lights of thousands of homes in front of him.
It's a flat valley.
In the valley are families of people.
Fenced courtyards, thatched houses, red lanterns swaying in the wind.
The Red Lotus Village in front of him reminded Jiang Feng of the northeastern countryside on Chinese New Year's Eve.
"Let's go, our house is there!"
Niu Guodong pointed to a courtyard in the northwest and said: "Our Red Lotus Village used to be a village, everyone was a villager, and the owner of the village was the village head. The court is corrupt, and everyone can't survive. The owner of the village moved over with the whole village. ”
Jiang Feng nodded.
When he arrived in the village, Niu Guodong greeted the villagers all the way, introduced Jiang Feng, and walked all the way towards the courtyard.
The villagers were also very welcoming.
When some saw Jiang Feng, they came over to rub Jiang Feng's head and invited Jiang Feng to their house as a guest.
Waving goodbye to the villagers, Niu Guodong turned around with a laugh, put his arm around Jiang Feng's shoulders and said, "The people in this village are very good......
As soon as he said this, Niu Guodong suddenly saw several people in black coming in front of him, and this man in black was surrounded by a man in his thirties, with a thin figure and a fox fur hat.
Seeing this man coming, the smile on Niu Guodong's face suddenly froze.
"Let's go!"
Niu Guodong made a straight face and said to Jiang Feng and the three of them.
As they spoke, the three of them were ready to bypass these people without saying a word.
But at this moment, the man with the fox fur hat came over with a smile and said, "Yo, Guodong, have you recruited troops?"
He looked at Niu Guodong's side, the thin Jiang Feng, shook his head and said, "It's not that I said you, if you want to recruit people, you have to recruit someone who is about the same, what do you think you picked?"
"It's your business!"
Niu Er glared at him, snorted coldly, and walked away directly.
The fox fur hat looked at Niu Guodong's back and sneered: "The owner of the village asked you to patrol, but you didn't listen to the owner of the village, and used your power to recruit people for personal gain! I will definitely sue you in front of the owner of the village!"
"Whatever!"
Niu Guodong strode away.
After walking away, Niu Guodong turned around, glanced at the man with disdain, and said angrily: "Isn't it just that you have made some merits, what is your spirit, look at that ****, this has not been promoted yet, so I treat myself as a person!"
On the side, Jiang Feng couldn't help but laugh when he heard it.
Brother Niu seems to be rude and stupid, but this scolding is also very vicious.
"Now, the imperial court has sent an army again, Jiang Feng, don't worry, we must kill a few more court lackeys this time, make a great contribution, and show that guy!"
Niu Guodong stretched out his hand and patted Jiang Feng's shoulder, and then looked at Storm Bear and Han Hu.
"Yes, big brother!"
Storm Bear and Han Hu stretched out their fists and hammered them their chests, and said murderously.
Jiang Feng nodded, and asked curiously: "Brother Niu, you just said that the imperial court sent people to encircle and suppress us again, so does the imperial court come every year?"
"How could it be, they had already been frightened by our Eighteen Villages in the Wasteland. I don't know what tendons I smoked this time!" Niu Guodong shook his head with a blank expression: "However, I heard from the owner of the village that it seems that a cook from the City Lord's Mansion was killed." Pingyang Mansion thinks that our wasteland is provoking his majesty, no, just in time for the people from the Sword Shrine to come to Pingyang Mansion to inspect. Pingyang Mansion will send troops to fight!"
When Jiang Feng heard this, he was stunned.
Cook?
Could it be Li Dazhang?
Holy, let's put it that way.
I brought this war disaster in the wasteland into place!
"But ......"
Niu Guodong pouted and said, "However, this kind of excuse has been used by the imperial court. Every time, the people of Pingyang Mansion are killed by the bandits of the wasteland, and for the sake of the peace of the people, they send troops to suppress the bandits!
"You don't kill?"
Jiang Feng said curiously when he heard this.
There is such a rumor in the pass, saying that the bandits in the wasteland kill people without blinking, eat meat without spitting out bones. If they are caught, they will surely die. However, listening to Niu Guodong's words, it shouldn't be like this.
"Kill, however, we don't kill innocents indiscriminately, and we don't want to let it go!"
Niu Guodong said seriously: "The main reason we kill people is to grab territory. The wasteland is rich in resources, and the eighteen villages often have fires because of the ownership of the site. No, that birdman just now killed a few more people when he grabbed the territory last time. Okay, we're here, let's eat first, and then talk after eating!"
A simple fenced courtyard in front.
In the yard, there are stacks of millstones, which are covered with a thick layer of snow.
Under the thatched eaves, there are still bunches of golden corn.
......
Night.
Outside, the cold wind was raging, and the windows were whining.
Inside, it's warm.
Niu Guodong personally built a stove for Jiang Feng and put a bunch of charcoal for later use.
After doing all this, he left.
In the warm room, Jiang Feng was cross-legged on the kang, not breathing, but thinking about the words of the violent bear.
Niu Guodong's enthusiasm for himself exceeded his expectations, and it was beyond the scope of normal people's understanding.
Jiang Feng, who experienced the killing of his brother and was indifferent, was actually very suspicious along the way. However, when the violent bear left just now, he told Jiang Feng the reason in a low voice.
Niu Guodong has a younger brother.
When his parents were dying, Niu Guodong knelt in front of his parents' bed and vowed to take care of his younger brother. However, a year ago, the officers and soldiers suppressed the bandits, and his younger brother died in his arms.
Niu Guodong has become extremely irritable since then.
And the reason why he is so good to Jiang Feng is because Jiang Feng's figure and appearance are very similar to Niu Guodong's dead brother.
Probably, Lao Niu transferred his regret to his younger brother to Jiang Feng, which is why he was so good to Jiang Feng.
Hey, the way of the world!
Jiang Feng felt a little sorry for Lao Niu, and couldn't help sighing.
Then, he packed up his mind and prepared to settle down.
But at this moment, the urgent bell suddenly rang, and it instantly spread throughout the entire stockade.
Dangdangdang......
A moment later, there was a loud knock on the door outside the courtyard.
"Get up, all of you, assemble!"
"Hurry up!"
