"Brother Wang, you said that if the master did not seek refuge with a big force like Black Tiger Village, why would he instead lead us to Xuanshui Village, a force similar to ours?" Two minions guarding the gate of Qingzhu Village were talking in a low voice.
Brother Wang put his hands in each other's sleeves. It was already spring but the temperature was still cold. His body was slightly bowed: "Xiao Zhang, you can't just look at the surface but also look at the inside. If the leader enters Black Tiger City, how can he become a leader?"
What?
There are many people in Black Tiger City who are more powerful than the leader. In the past, the leader was just an ordinary little commander, so it is better to go to Xuanshui Village and become a leader. This is called rather being a duck head.
Be the tail of the wind."
"Brother, you are so educated!" The younger brother looked at him with admiration. Wang Dazuo enjoyed the admiration of his younger brother and said with a smile: "In the past, Military Advisor Zhou in our village was a great scholar. Unfortunately, during the chaos, Military Advisor Zhou
They were taken away by the boss, otherwise you could have become as educated as me!"
Swish swish!
The bamboos outside the bamboo forest were rustling, and a cold wind blew by. Wang Dazuo, who originally wanted to use his cultural atmosphere to influence his younger brother, shrank his neck. The wind at night was really cold for them.
Wang Dazuo was blown by the cold wind like a shrunken turtle, but his younger brother seemed to hear some different sounds. This sound was a little different from the usual wind blowing sound. Normally, the wind blowing in the bamboo forest would also make sounds, but today's sound was like
a bit big.
Huhuhu...
Another gust of wind blew over. Maybe it was because the wind was a bit strong today. The cold feeling was alleviated by retracting my hands and neck into my clothes. The brazier on the side whirred in the strong wind, and the sound of drinking and fist-fighting could be heard from time to time in the camp.
The people from Xuanshui Village arrived, and the master was entertaining those people. The two of them were a little unlucky, and they were forced to stay outside for the night, but what was so good about keeping watch this night? The master and the others were still beaten away, and they had not been beaten since the establishment of Qingzhu Village.
It was attacked by outsiders.
The people from Xuanshui Village could only come in because of the leader, otherwise just looking for the road to Qingzhu Village would be enough for those people.
The two of them were keeping watch all night just to put on a show, to reassure the people of Xuanshui Village that the soldiers had suffered a lot for them.
Li Xiang walked forward slowly in the bamboo forest. He found that his mini map could also be used here. There would be some small red dots on the mini map. Those were the traps of Qingzhu Village in the bamboo forest. Li Xiang led the people to move them one by one.
After clearing the trap, we finally reached the gate of Qingzhu Village.
Zhang Qingyun's eyes were opened along the way. Li Xiang could see the traps hidden in the bamboo forest at a glance. The traps set up by Qingzhu Village were easily eliminated by Xiliang soldiers. Each of these traps was from Qingzhu Village.
People racked their brains and took great pains to lay out some traps. Some of the traps may even have been forgotten by the person who set them up, but the basis cannot be avoided from Li Xiang's eyes.
Zhang Qingyun successfully led them to remove the traps on the road and avoid the secret sentry in Qingzhu Village on the avenue. Since I don't know that your secret sentry is in the trees, then I will stay away. Your mother will not dare to leave even if she walks in.
Go in the bamboo forest, so you can't find it!
"Lord, listening to the sounds inside, it seems that people from Xuanshui Village have arrived, and the third master of Qingzhu Village is entertaining them." From outside the bamboo forest, voices from the village could be heard vaguely: "This is a good opportunity!"
"Don't worry!" Li Xiang opened the map. On the other end of the small map, a large force from the Xiliang camp was rushing over; "There are only fifty of us, and there are at least a hundred people in Qingzhu Village. Judging from the time, their banquet
How long has it just started? Now is not the time to take action!"
Li Xiang knew that the time when a person is sleepiest is before dawn, and that time is also the darkest time of the day.
That's the best time to take action. All the troops from the Xiliang camp arrived at that time. Li Xiang wanted to capture Qingzhu Village at the minimum cost. Can five hundred people still be unable to deal with two hundred drunkards?
"Rest on the spot, you go to the middle!" Li Xiang and his men formed a circle. The wind in the bamboo forest was not very strong, but it was still a bit cold. He asked Zhang Qingyun to go to the middle because Zhang Qingyun was the weakest among them.
Qingzhu Village
The third master, Black Bear, sat in the position where the second master had been. Sitting in the position of the first master was a big man who was even bigger than the black bear. He could sit on the thrones of two masters, but it was a bit cramped for the big man to sit on.
"In other words, the head of Qingzhu Village sent his most elite troops to the iron mine, and the person who killed my people in Xuanshui Village was also the head of Qingzhu Village?"
Black Bear nodded; "It is certain that when we fought with them, most of the master's men did not come out. Otherwise, if we wanted to take Qingzhu Village that day, we would have to wait until you came with your army."
The big man on the throne rubbed his eyes: "Are they over there in the iron ore area now?"
The black bear cracked his mouth and said with a smile: "They have no place to go except the iron ore area. They are a large group of people. It is difficult to support themselves by hunting. We have a large number of people left in the iron ore area."
Food, what kind of food is enough for them to support the opening of the market in the town?"
The big man nodded as he listened and knocked a few times on the edge of the throne with one hand: "Is there any movement over there in Black Tiger City?"
"Everything in Black Tiger City is the same as usual, nothing unusual!" Black Bear said.
"No abnormality?" The big man laughed: "There is no abnormality on the side, but the news has not been conveyed to them for the time being. It will not take long for the news to be conveyed."
"Start every day at noon to avoid long nights and dreams."
Black Bear wasn't very sure what the big man said. He had some vague guesses in his heart, but he didn't dare to say them out. He could only bury them in his heart and not say them out.
"It's my lord!" Black Bear lowered his head and said, and the big man got up and walked towards the hall: "Don't worry, if you follow us in Xuanshui Village, even Black Tiger City will not dare to take action easily. After all, the power behind us is far greater than that of Heilongjiang."
Tiger City needs to be strong as long as you are loyal, but if you dare to betray, Ten Thousand Snake Cave is waiting for you, you can be careful, but that is without affecting the plan of the divine religion, do you understand?"
There was a little sweat on the black bear's forehead: "Don't worry, sir, the black bear has no second thoughts!"
The big man has already walked to the door: "That's good, have a few drinks with me!"
The lights were brightly lit in Qingzhu Village, and all kinds of supplies accumulated by the headmaster were brought out, including all kinds of fine wines, and all kinds of wild beast meat stored in the freezer. Tonight, I just ate with open stomachs, eating as much as I wanted.
This kind of day is a grand scene that can only be seen during the Chinese New Year. People eat and drink until midnight. Qingzhu Village is in chaos, and the strong smell of wine overwhelms other smells.
The deeper the night went, the colder the temperature became, so the men and horses from the Xiliang camp arrived overnight.
The two guys guarding the gate of Qingzhu Village had gone to one side of the hut to lie down and pulled out their swords. Li Xiang walked quickly to the gate of Qingzhu Village. The gate of Qingzhu Village was made of Lingzhu and some wood. He took out a
A rope with an iron hook was thrown to the wooden wall. The iron hook caught the wooden wall and Li Xiang pulled hard. He stepped on the wooden wall and climbed up quickly. After a few steps, he landed on top.
There were several soldiers on the side who had also reached the wall. Li Xiang took a look at the small house where people lived, and went down to the gate with his knife. He handed the two guys to the soldiers above.
Soldiers are expensive and fast!
The gate of Luojiang opened wide. The Xiliang soldiers who were still cautious outside did not restrain their steps. The soldiers closest to the gate ran and rushed into the camp.
Qingzhu Village was in a mess. At a glance, there were fires and various leftover barbecues everywhere. A burst of snoring came from the house not far away. The people inside didn't know that Xiliang soldiers had come in.
The geographical location of Qingzhu Village is very good. There are no nearby forces nearby, so the soldiers of Qingzhu Village and Xuanshui Village can eat and drink without any worries.
Even if they add blood to the knife, they still don't know whether they will be alive tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. They like wine very much. When they encounter wine, as long as it is safe, they will get drunk and forget all their unhappiness.
Zhang Qingyun came to the mountain stronghold under the protection of five militiamen. Seeing Li Xiang not far away, Zhang Qingyun trotted up behind Li Xiang: "Lord, most of the people in the stronghold are unconscious. This is a good opportunity to control them."
, these guys are all good road builders!”
Zhang Qingyun is afraid that Li Xiang will kill all these people. Li Xiang is a wise master, but there is one thing that puzzles Zhang Qingyun. Li Xiang seems to like killing very much, whether it is a beast or a human being, as long as the enemy does not survive,
He was lucky to have a teacher, but he was still taken away as a tongue, otherwise he would have been like the people in the village and turned into fertilizer outside the Northwest Pass to nourish the earth.
"I'm serious!" Li Xiang looked around: "As long as they don't resist, nothing will happen. Where does their leader live?"
Capture the thief first. Capture the king. This principle is understood by Li Xiang. Moreover, those who can become masters in the village must have strong force. When Xiliang soldiers are grouped together, their combat effectiveness is very high. But how about they challenge the powerful soldiers alone? Their
The level is still a bit low.
If their cultivation level were higher, Prime Minister Li wouldn't have anything to worry about them.
"In Juyi Hall!" Zhang Qingyun said quickly: "Master, please come with me!"
Zhang Qingyun remembered that strong people would not be trapped by ordinary drinks. If they were drunk, they could sober up in the shortest time as long as there was a slight disturbance.
"Let's go!" Li Xiang led fifty people and Zhang Qingyun all the way forward. Xiliang soldiers rushed into the house made of bamboo and tied up the drunk and unconscious people from Qingzhu Village and Xuanshui Village with ropes.
The guy felt something bad when he was tied up. When he opened his eyes, he saw Xiliang soldiers. Just when he was about to shout loudly, the Xiliang soldier's knife slashed across their necks, and a human head rolled to the ground.
Others were woken up by the cold wind. When they woke up, they saw that they were outside with a rope tied to their bodies. They didn't understand what happened.
They were all beaten in one fell swoop!
Next to them were a large number of soldiers holding spears. They did not dare to shout because someone just wanted to shout. The sharp spear passed through the big man's mouth and went straight to the back of his head. These soldiers held
The guys with spears are ruthless.
Following Zhang Qingyun and Li Xiang, they came to the center of Qingzhu Village, in front of a huge house. No, it should not be called a house, but a palace. Different from other buildings in Qingzhu Village, this building was made of wood and was seven or eight meters high.
, brightly lit, with vermilion pillars and glazed tiles visible in the firelight.
"This palace?" Li Xiang grew up in the imperial capital. He had never seen a worldly palace. Even the harem palaces he had entered when he was a child. Even if the tall buildings in front of him were imitation palaces, he did not expect that there was one outside the Northwest Pass.
palace.
Zhang Qingyun looked at the palace in front of him with a somewhat complicated expression, "The master asked a construction worker from the town to build this ten years ago. It is usually used as a place for Qingzhu Village to discuss issues."
"The boss wants to be the emperor." Li Xiang raised his knife and said with a smile, "I want this place!"
Since being thrown into this ghost place, the loyalty and patriotism in Li Xiang's mind has disappeared. If there was no systematic appearance, Li Xiang would have died outside the Northwest Pass. Loyalty and patriotism?
At this time, Li Xiang just wanted to establish a power of his own and make himself comfortable. No one dared to provoke him.
"Water is outside?" A somewhat unclear voice came from inside: "Zhao Mazi, pour me a glass of wine!"
Li Xiang narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard the voice coming from inside. The voice sounded a little unclear, but it was full of energy.
"Surround!" Li Xiang didn't know how many people were inside. He would not let his soldiers take risks. Fifty people surrounded this small palace, which seemed a bit small.
"Go, let's send fifty more people over there!" Li Xiang said softly to Zhang Qingyun. Zhang Qingyun took one look at the palace, turned around and left.
Inside the palace, Black Bear and the big man from Xuanshui Village were watching and waiting for people outside. When Li Xiang brought people over, they woke up when they saw the benefits. When they saw the people Li Xiang brought, they did not dare to move and pretended to be awake.
Can you trick the other party into coming in?
There are not many people in the palace, there are only twelve people and ten personal guards in total.
The black bear's eyes were full of regret, he shouldn't have drank so much wine. The big man's eyes were full of thoughts. He was wondering which force the men were from. Looking at the soldiers outside and Prime Minister Li, he thought hard.
Black Bear said from the side: "If these people can kill here, they should be already..."
The big man asked: "Is there a back door?"
Black Bear nodded: "There is a back door, but..."
"But what?" The big man's eyes were a little fierce: "If you have something to say, please tell me!"
Black Bear said awkwardly: "There is a back door, but there are traps everywhere around Qingzhu Village. Finally, one third of my map still belongs to the part in front of the gate. If we want to rush out, we still have to break through the enemy army in front!"
"...." The big man was speechless.
"You have been surrounded. Do you want to come out on your own, or do we need the camp leader to set fire to ask you to come out!" The reinforcements arrived, and a hundred people surrounded the palace. Li Xiang shouted reassuringly: "I know that the peasant reinforcements are awake, please come out."
Come out, please! This palace is not easy to build, and I don’t want to destroy it yet!”
