Lou Shuwan saw Ning Yi again in the mountains that afternoon. But the development that followed was not something she clearly expected. In other words, after seeing the figure again in the afternoon in the mountains, she was already in chaos and did not make any changes to the development of the matter. promote. But it would be an understatement to say that she was the cause of the incident.
Lou Shuwan, Tian Shi, Yu Yulin and others entered Luliang Mountain about a day earlier than Ning Yi's trip. After entering the mountain, the first person I looked for was Xiaoxiang Maqiu Mengtang.
This was a force that Jin Wang Tianhu had come into contact with two years earlier. As a big rebel who can occupy a place, although later generations describe Tian Hu as an hunter, he was already a famous underworld lord long before the uprising. In the Northland area, the closer you get to Yanmen Pass, the more chaotic the law and order becomes. The government is weak, and the army is strong, but their status is low. Too lazy to manage.
Of course, there are deeper reasons for this. For example, the court recruited traitors from the Liao Kingdom, such as Dong Panger, and placed them all to the north... In short, Tian Hu could easily stretch his tentacles out of such chaos. Wherever he goes, Lu Liangshan is the place he has long been interested in, but of course, to say how urgent the mood is, it is not.
The situation in Lu Liangshan, to be honest, is too chaotic. The land here is barren, the folk customs are fierce, and there are many desperadoes. If you can master this place, of course, there are benefits, but the actual situation is that it is basically impossible to master here. This reason, after Ning Yi understood it, was very clear.
To say how powerful the people in Luliang Mountain are, it is actually false. If this gang of desperadoes who were so arrogant all day, shouting cannibalism and murder, were against ordinary people. Although it was terrifying, if a slightly more formal army came to kill them, they would basically have no resistance. The Liao people's grass-fighting valley came occasionally, and there was resistance in the mountains. Absolutely can't be called a song and cry. The army sent by Tian Hu stopped here. You can also definitely get down on a large piece and show off great prestige. But then what? They hid in the mountains. Hide wherever they can, but... they're not willing to cooperate.
Of course, there are many reasons for unwillingness to cooperate. Xenophobia is only one of them. The most troublesome thing is not enough food. Assuming that Tian Hu really wants to occupy this side - not to mention the difficulty - he must first consider the problem of feeding so many people. And here is a chicken rib that can't feed so many people. Smuggling can certainly make a little profit, but with it comes a big problem.
Suppose there is a faction that unites Lu Liang and feeds so many people, then this place becomes a piece of cake. Although it is said that Luliang Mountain is rugged, it is far less flat than Yanmen Pass, but after the reunification. It is equivalent to fighting with the military who control Yanmen Pass. No one will let go of this place if they want to benefit. At that time, Lu Liang could only face competition and destruction, and once he fell into such competition. Lu Liang is bound to enter chaos again. Under the cycle, Lu Liang had no basis for unity and peace at all.
It is also for this reason that when Ning Yi first proposed plans to Hong, he once emphasized that the surrounding of Lu Liang must not be unified, and the surrounding must continue to be chaotic, even if it is miserable, it can only be watched. Only in such a situation, coupled with bribing the Yanmenguan military, would the other party turn a blind eye to Lu Liang's path. Under the premise of maintaining the surrounding chaos, Qingmu Village can be in it—whether saving people or giving alms—show their kindness, and at the same time gather the strongest group of people in Luliang Mountain to become the de facto ruler of this place .
This strategy is actually quite dark, but there is no way, even if Ning Yi is personally there, he can only do this. The light is certainly gratifying, but Lu Liangshan can only live in such darkness for the time being, at most only a few people die.
Ning Yi can only do this, how much vision can Tian Hu have. Because of Lu Liang's scattered sand, it was easy for Tian Hu to reach out, but after reaching in, he had to provide supplies and assistance, but he still couldn't get any output. And often he shows goodwill and builds up a power of Lu Liang. Within half a year, the boss is cut down by his subordinates or enemies, for a variety of reasons, inexplicable. For someone who wants to do something big, it feels overwhelming and unspeakable. Over time, he can only look here, and can't use too much thought.
Xiaoxiang Ma Qiu Mengtang was built at will under such circumstances. Because of his high martial arts skills, and he still stood tall for more than two years, Tian Hu would of course be happy to help him and form a good relationship. This time, Lou Shuwan and others went to the mountain to find the Blood Bodhisattva to do business, which was an opportunity to use people.
It's just that although they have a good relationship, Qiu Mengtang is also quite enthusiastic about Lou Shuwan and others, but Qiu Mengtang, who has been a horse bandit in the mountains for a long time, does not feel that his status is lower than that of Tian Hu's men. Xiangma was quite arrogant, and when he heard the purpose of their entry into the mountain, he was a little disapproving.
"...Qingmu Village has been booming recently, but I'm afraid Tiger King is thinking a little wrong about these things. Qiu was born and raised in Lu Liang. For so many years, he has licked blood with his knife and killed him with his head, and he knows Lu Liangshan best. What does it look like... Let me tell you, you can only take advantage of things in the Tao... Blood Bodhisattva? Just wait and see, what about a woman who is highly skilled in martial arts on Mount Luliang? Am I, Qiu Mengtang, afraid of her? In two or three years, you will never see this person again. Either he was killed, or... Hehe, after being beaten up, he was raised for fun... Maybe who did it, maybe... It was me when I was young Ring Ma Qiu Meng Tang."
When he said these things, he showed a disapproving smile, and then said: "Of course, it has been rumored recently that she wants to recruit relatives by martial arts, which is a good move. Women, they always want to find a man. If you have a man, you will have many backers. Since everyone is interested, I will follow along to see it. I didn’t have the chance to fight in previous years.
In all fairness, Xiao Xiangma's thoughts are not without reason, but the most important thing is to compete with Tian Shi and others, expressing his dissatisfaction with Tian Hu's desire to cooperate with Qingmu Village. As the boss of Lu Liang's mountain, he respects the Tiger King who is entrenched in one place, but the Tiger King wants to form an alliance with Qingmu Village, which shows that he is not optimistic about himself. At present, his stockade is not comparable to Qingmu, but Lu Liang is so chaotic, and the feng shui takes turns. A woman can be in the position, and so can she. Under such a mentality, he no longer pays attention to too many politeness and becomes quite powerful.
The alliance with Qingmu Village is now in charge of Lou Shuwan. Tian Shi made psychological preparations for entering the Qingmu Village. in such a situation. On the one hand, everyone laughed and accepted Qiu Mengtang's hospitality, but on the other hand, they felt that this fellow was really not very safe. It has to be beat. While chatting, Qiu Mengtang was also quite curious about Lou Shuwan. After all, this woman was born as a lady, and was among a group of strong men. He also has his own strength, especially after experiencing so many things, the change of mentality makes it naturally have a cool charm. Qiu Mengtang was a native of the mountains, and it was difficult for him to loot any ladies in Luliang Mountain, let alone Lou Shuwan, a big family in the south of the Yangtze River. In short, quite a bit to like her.
The two sides seemed to get along happily until the next day, and Lou Shuwan and others learned a lot about Lu Liangshan from Qiu Mengtang. Shortly after noon. The minions came to report that someone from Qingmu Village was about to borrow it, so she naturally wanted to see it for herself.
I saw Ning Yi.
At that time, everyone stayed at the mouth of the mountain, and Zhuji's horse team passed by from the side. Due to the direction of the light, it is impossible to see the people in the col. Lou Shuwan didn't expect to see that figure at all, she wondered for a while that she was wrong, she stared at it for a long time, and even staggered off the horse and followed for a while. After confirming that the nightmarish impression had become a real person, she was in a trance. Qiu Mengtang, Tian Shi, Yu Yulin and others naturally saw it and asked about it doubtfully. Lou Shuwan's mood couldn't be suppressed at all. After returning to the stockade, Qiu Mengtang and others guessed and asked, "Do you have an old relationship with those people?"
Lou Shuwan shook her head suddenly, gritted her teeth and replied, "Have a grudge."
At that time, she was sitting on a chair in the lobby of the cottage, tilting her head slightly. When the sun shone in, her side face had a suffocating coldness. It's just that the eyes are rolling and complicated. How could Qiu Mengtang bear this, he spread his hands indifferently: "Then I did him."
Playboy Tian Shi actually had some thoughts about Lou Shuwan, and replied, "Is it okay?"
"It's just a caravan, I'm enough to give Qing Muzhai face, but sometimes a little accident is inevitable. After I'm done, I personally go to the door and explain to the Blood Bodhisattva, what else can she do." Qiu Mengtang said, "Not to mention the rivers and lakes are the rivers and lakes. Now, it's the rules of the rivers and lakes to take revenge and revenge, and everyone is a guest from afar, so we can't make Miss Lou unhappy, right?"
Lou Shuwan tilted her head, she tried her best to calm her mind, but the first voice came out, almost hoarse: "This... This is not very good, Qiu Zhaizhu, he didn't find out his truth, not to mention... What's more, you have a covenant with Qingmu Village, so it's not good for me... messing up like this..."
In the presence, Yu Yulin was considered to be someone in Tian Hu's family who could really make up his mind, and smiled at this moment: "This is true, but Qiu Zhaizhu is also right. , it might be better for us to do it ourselves."
"... False?" Qiu Mengtang curled his lips, and he simply waved his hand to Yulin's words, too lazy to discuss, "It's just over a hundred people!"
He turned around and went out: "Little ones, order someone and go out to vote."
That's how the whole thing started.
And with Qiu Mengtang's dispatch, Lou Shuwan, who followed in the past, was also infected by the feverish aura, and couldn't hold back her thoughts. She couldn't figure out what this sudden day meant to herself, and it was hard to keep the reason that she usually handled things under Tian Hu's account. The scene of catching the other party subconsciously emerged in her heart, and the various ways of dealing with Ning Yi after catching Ning Yi appeared uncontrollably in her mind. It felt both pleasure and pain. She couldn't figure out what to say at the first sight of him. , but some images kept appearing uncontrollably: the way he grabbed him, the way he killed all the people around him, the way he looked when he humiliated him, the way he reacted when he scolded him, the way he looked when he begged for mercy.
The body trembled just like that under the cloak.
It was not until the time for a cup of tea that the battle passed, under the setting sun, due to the restlessness of one's own side, that reason began to return to the body coldly...
****************
Lou Shuwan couldn't understand complex battlefields, but Qiu Mengtang had already sent for reinforcements, and Yu Yulin and Tian Shi had already seen the inappropriateness of the situation, and were mobilizing more than 300 elites. Looking at the mountains over there, the corpses and blood stretched across the mountains. Qiu Mengtang's subordinates-even from her layman's eyes-seem to have lost half of it. And the man named Ning Yi was moving away in an orderly manner.
For a long time, Lou Shuwan had not learned much about Ning Yi under Tian Hu's command. First, Tian Hu's subordinates don't have any specialized intelligence organizations, and secondly, Lou Shuwan doesn't really care much about things in the green forest.
After she was reused, she did specifically inquire about Ning Yi, and vaguely knew that the other party was doing business in the capital, continuing to run the cloth line, and also opened a bamboo store. The business is very good - this is Ning Yi's ability, Lou Shu Wan is not surprising, but on the other hand, she may have heard the rumor that her inner demon broke Liangshan, but she didn't know that it was Ning Yi.
Even in modern times, people are unfamiliar with the names of people in charge of certain major events in other provinces and other places, let alone in ancient times. On the other hand, even though he had deliberately inquired, Lou Shuwan was more or less evasive towards Ning Yi. Knowing what happens, I can't take revenge now.
That's why, even though she knew that Ning Yi was a powerful and ruthless character, she didn't react too much to Qiu Mengtang's actions. Because what Ning Yi really scared her was actually a knife in her heart. "I haven't figured out the truth" is just her subconscious words, and Qiu Mengtang's "more than 100 people" is the truth. But at this moment, she felt a little cold in her heart, and then she thought: is he so powerful
And then I can't help thinking: He seems to have always been so good.
Thinking back to the scene in Hangzhou, an impossible thought came to mind: I wouldn't... kick the iron plate, if I met this man, he wouldn't be able to fight back...
Such thoughts even felt a little ridiculous to her. The fighting between the mountains continued to spread, and then Qiu Mengtang's men began to come in batches, gradually becoming 500, 600, 700 people... The sun slanted westward, Ning Yi led the team back over the hill over there, Starting to retreat and flee, Yu Yulin's side, more than 300 elites also gathered, and the lineup of thousands of people spread all the way to chase and kill.
And the sun will fall...
