The woman came to the stone pavilion. Li Changqing sat there, looking down at the valley with a sad face, with a confused look on his face, and his mind was not in this great morning light at all. The woman attached herself to his ear and whispered a few words. Li Changqing nodded and said, "They are actually old acquaintances."

The woman said, "It's right to be a good old friend."

Li Changqing said: "The person who can make Lan Ximei, the head of the eighth family in Langya Village, is definitely not an ordinary person."

The woman said, "Brother, when my sister-in-law screamed last night, several brothers' eardrums were pierced and bleeding, but he was fine."

Li Changqing sighed and said, "Those who come are not kind will not come."

The woman said again, "By the way, there is one person in their team that is our local one."

Li Changqing said: "Who is it?"

"The one named Zhang Changgong used to hunt in the Pale Mountain area, and a brother had seen him."

Li Changqing frowned. A hunter? In the chaotic times, no one's life will be peaceful, especially in this pale mountain, where many forces are rampant, burning, killing, looting, and many people in the mountains have to choose to leave their hometowns and find another way to survive. Many of them have joined the army, such as Zhang Changgong.

Li Changqing was really interested in the specialist named Zhang Fugui. He could gain Xu Beishan's trust at such a young age, which proved that this person had considerable abilities, and judging from his performance, it was indeed the case.

Li Changqing said: "Help me invite Lao Lu."

Lao Lu is a powerful general under Li Changqing. He only sat in the fourth seat in Feiying Castle, but his prestige is second only to Li Changqing. Lao Lu is a mixed-race of Chinese and Russian, but he only inherited black hair from his mother. He is a pure Russian in both physique and appearance.

Lao Lu's full name is Nicholas Runokhov, and even the brothers of Feiying Castle rarely call this difficult name. Anyway, they call him Lao Lu, who falls from above. Lao Lu is kind. Even if others call him the fourth shopkeeper, he smiled honestly and emphasized that it is best to call him Lao Lu. After a while, almost no one remembers his real name.

Li Changqing is one of the few who can remember the full name of Lao Lu in the Qing Dynasty. He saved Lao Lu's life, but he did not regard himself as a benefactor because he only saved Lao Lu once, and Lao Lu had saved him three times. From this point of view, he owe Lao Lu.

Lao Lu always had a smile on his face, especially in front of Li Changqing. His smile made people feel particularly sincere, without any hypocritical and adulterated ingredients: "Brother, are you looking for me?"

Li Changqing nodded and pointed to the chair opposite. Lao Lu did not sit down immediately, but carried the chair and placed it next to Li Changqing. He liked to get closer to Li Changqing.

Li Changqing glanced at Lao Lu, then looked at the brazier in front of him and whispered: "You should know about your sister-in-law, right?"

Lao Lu nodded, he leaned forward and placed a pair of hands the size of a palm fan on the brazier. The warmth spread from his palm to his whole body. Lao Lu Shu comfortably narrowed his gray-green eyes. Lao Lu usually looked like a cat, but once he entered the state of fighting, he quickly turned into a tiger.

Lao Lu said: "Brother is worthy of his sister-in-law."

Li Changqing shook his head: "I owe her, I will never pay it back in my life."

Lao Lu said: "We have lost a lot of brothers in the past two years."

Li Changqing remained silent. He understood what Lao Lu meant. Some of the dead brothers died in battle, while many of them died in Feiying Castle for some reason. The secrets in this were not enough to be told to outsiders, but Li Changqing could not hide them from Lao Lu.

Lao Lu did not discuss this topic in depth, rubbed his hands and said, "Do you still remember Mantang's death?" He said that Zhu Mantang, the third leader. Zhu Mantang was ordered to go to Lingtian Castle to pay his birthday to Xiao Tianxing, the chief leader of Langya Village, but died in Lingtian Castle. Lingtian Castle's explanation for this was that he was assassinated, but it had nothing to do with them.

Li Changqing said: "Xiao Tianxing is very ambitious. He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of birthday party to catch Yan Tianxin and me, but a pity..." He paused and said: "The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole behind him." In fact, Li Changqing only saw the mystery of the whole thing clearly after the incident.

Xiao Tianxing's death is definitely not as simple as it seems. No matter how deep the conspiracy or the perfect planning is, it will be slowly exposed in the face of time. If you want to find out the cause of Xiao Tianxing's death, you must first find the biggest beneficiary after his death. From the perspective of the development of Langya Village after that, the beneficiary is undoubtedly the Liuli Lang Zheng Qianchuan. After Xiao Tianxing's death, Zheng Qianchuan not only gained leadership, but also quickly gained the recognition of his subordinates, and took the entire Langya Village to accept Xu Beishan's enrollment.

As a bystander of the whole thing, Li Changqing saw it very clearly. He originally thought that Yan Tianxin's Lianyun Village and Zheng Qianchuan's Langya Village must have a fight, and he was happy to watch it on the wall, but Yan Tianxin obviously lacked luck. A volcanic eruption destroyed the hundreds of years of foundation of Lianyun Village. Yan Tianxin had to leave his hometown to lead the tribe to move westward, and there was no news about her since then.

The current Pale Mountain is in addition to Lingtian Fortress and Feiying Fortress. The former has turned to Xubei Mountain. Because of this, the status of Feiying Fortress has become more important. Zhang Tongwu and Xubei Mountain compete to win over Feiying Fortress in order to compete for the Manchurian territory, Li Changqing's reversal even determined the final ownership of Pale Mountain.

Lao Lu said: "What do you think of a brother?"

Li Changqing sighed and said, "Behind Xu Beishan is the Japanese."

Lao Lu knew that Li Changqing hated the Japanese the most, and he was the same. During the Russo-Japanese War, his father and his brothers all died in battle. Lao Lu even thought that the only reason he could leave Li Changqing was that Li Changqing defected to the Japanese, but this possibility almost did not exist.

Li Changqing is a smart man. He did not rush to fall to either side, and carefully found a balance between the two warlords. He has been living a free and easy life over the years. However, with the continuous collision between the two warlords, the major forces in Pale Mountain have also chosen their camps, and a change is unstoppable.

Lao Lu also asked Li Changqing about his future choice, but Li Changqing has always been very secretive about this.

Lao Lu said: "This Zhang Fugui and Lingtianbao are all the best."

Li Changqing said: "Xu Beishan's sincerity is greater than that of Zhang Tongwu, but unfortunately..."

Lao Lu said: "Don't you want to bear the infamy?"

Li Changqing's smile seemed a little bitter: "Infamous?" People like them were destined to be unable to change their reputation. Li Changqing picked up the already cooled tea, took a sip of the tea, and then said: "I want to leave."

Old Lu stared at Li Changqing in a daze. He had never seen Li Changqing so decadent.

Li Changqing said: "I want to hand over this burden to you."

Lao Lu shook his head and said, "Brother, I don't have that ability. No one in Feiying Castle has the ability except you."

Li Changqing said: "I am exhausted, your sister-in-law is just afraid..."

Lao Lu said: "I don't believe it. There is no doctor in this world who can cure my sister-in-law. Brother, it really doesn't work. Go to Bingcheng to find a Russian doctor?"

Li Changqing was about to speak, but someone came to report it again, but Zhang Tongwu sent someone over. Li Changqing couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Have they made an appointment? They actually came together."

The feeling of talking to Lan Ximei was much more natural. Luo Lie held the railing with both hands and looked at the sun rising from the top of the cliff in the east. The sunlight had become dazzling.

Lan Ximei leaned against the railing, looking at Luo Lie with her eyes, as if Luo Lie was the sun in her heart. She whispered softly, trying to attract Luo Lie's attention, but Luo Lie still didn't look at her. Lan Ximei pouted her cherry lips and said, "The scenery here is even better than mine?"

Luo Lie said: "When I came yesterday, there were not so many guard posts on the hillside there, and it seems that there were many more people today."

Lan Ximei cut and said, "What's so great? He doesn't dare to do anything to us with the courage of Li Changqing?"

Luo Lie finally turned his gaze to Lan Ximei's face: "What are you here for this time?"

Lan Ximei smiled charmingly and was full of charm: "Of course I'm here to see you."

Luo Lie continued to ask: "Represents Langya Village or Tyrannosaurus Society?"

Lan Ximei giggled: "I am me, no one represents me." She turned around and saw a group of people on the road below the valley, and she frowned with a smile: "Zhang Tongwu's people."

Luo Lie had actually seen the group of people for a long time, but he didn't know the origin of the other party. The group of people was wrapped very tightly, but from the standard of their military uniforms, it can still be seen that they came from the command of the Northern Manchu warlord Zhang Tongwu.

Lan Ximei said: "It's all tough characters, you're in trouble."

Luo Lie immediately understood what she meant. He was representing the Southern Manchu warlord Xu Beishan, but this group of people represented Zhang Tongwu's interests. Luo Lie browsed the appearance of those people one by one, and was sure that there was no one he knew. Although he had never met Zhang Tongwu, he had a lot of interactions with Zhang Tongwu's son Zhang Lingfeng. Luo Lie was worried that anyone would have met him. He could initially conclude that there was no one among this group of people who were in Huangpu with Zhang Lingfeng. In other words, the person who saw through his true identity should not exist.

Lan Ximei said: "That white-faced guy is Cui Shichun, and he is Zhang Tongwu's personal doctor."

Luo Lie nodded, thinking of Sa Jinhua who fell ill last night, Cui Shichun's arrival may be related to this matter. Xu Beishan was obviously not as good as Zhang Tongwu's thoughts on this point. If the people sent by Zhang Tongwu could really cure Sa Jinhua, Li Changqing might be grateful for this and even defect to Zhang Tongwu's camp.
