Chapter 573: The past hurts the future

Views:

Like a sleepless night, the noise and excitement continued into the early morning. Not long after the battle at Huo Chuanling broke out, people from all walks of life in Qingmu Village learned more or less of the outcome of the battle in different ways. After that, there was a tedious aftermath, with abuses, shouting and shouting from the mountain village, as well as the repressed celebrations of the people in the mountains.

The people who were sent out came back one after another, and then they were scolded one after another. The residents of the cottage now also know the news of the victory of the war, and they are excited and joyful to watch this strange triumph in the valley. After that, it was the aftermath that lasted all night, the return of the people, the gathering, and the result of cleaning the battlefield. Between the joy and joy, there was still a subtle cry...

This kind of movement continued until the east became white, and it dissipated as if it was suddenly divided by something. In the early morning, the morning dew soaked the clothes, and in the fresh air, everything seemed quiet and empty, and in the mountains in the distance, there was a refreshing and pleasant atmosphere. When I walked out of the room, my whole heart seemed to be empty.

Lou Shuwan sat on the wall and watched the residents in the valley below when they woke up in the morning. After a while, Yu Yulin also came out and looked at the valley. As for the situation of the Huo Chuanling battle, they both knew about it last night, an unbelievable result. Lou Shuwan couldn't figure out why 6,000 people faced a lineup of only 1,200 people, and they were killed and completely collapsed in less than an hour, but even if it was unbelievable, at that time, she couldn't tell What are the words, Ning Yi's words come to mind, and a slap in the face last night. Everything is empty.

As an army general, Yu Yulin saw the whole situation more clearly and thought more clearly. Although it was a little unbelievable at first, but after one night, by this morning, I can think of everything that should be thought of.

No matter how many people Luan Sanlang and Chen Zhenhai have, they will be bloody brave for a while. This kind of team will swarm up when they encounter soft persimmons, but after all, they will not be able to fight the real challenge. However, even so, the rout speed of 6,000 people against 1,200 people was so exaggerated. It can only be explained from the side. The strength and spirit of the Qing Muzhai team was a bit exaggerated.

Yu Yulin could see some clues in the chaos after they came back last night, because after the brigade returned. And a bunch of people. It was later returned to the stockade. And they were trained especially well, but these people were all smiling, obviously not losing the battle.

On the battlefield because it rushes too fast. He killed too many people, which directly led to him leaving the team, and then he killed a lot in the mountains before happily returning to the stockade. In the general concept, you can say that the enemy is too weak, but in reality, everyone cherishes their life. Even the regular army of the Wu Dynasty often only dares to hunt down and kill like this when facing an unarmed enemy. With such a team that actively seeks out the enemy, whether the enemy is weak or not is one aspect, and it is indeed a strong performance in itself.

And the most terrifying thing is that after they came back, they were reprimanded. Next, they may have to be punished and have their leaders write a review or something. This proves that the leaders in the mountains are not dazzled by a small victory like ordinary cottages, and their goals are far more than that.

In Yulin's opinion, anyone who can do such a thing and manipulate a Qingmu village in Luliangshan to such a degree, except for Ning Rentu, who came from the Secret Investigation Division, has the possibility to do it.

He wanted to tell Lou Shuwan about these things, but he still didn't say it. He didn't know the grievance between the two, but Lu Liangshan's trip might be when Ning Yi got involved. , is doomed to no avail.

In the morning, people went up the mountain to visit the leaders of Qingmu Village. Because the Blood Bodhisattva was injured, the owner of the second village, Zheng Ashuan, came out to greet the crowd and calmed the emotions of the crowd. Although there was a little friction in Lu Liangshan recently, Qingmu Village was able to calm the situation. Lu Liang's attitude and conditions of doing business will not change here, and everyone is welcome to come here.

After the friction last night, Qing Muzhai broke up the attack of Luan Sanlang and others like a thunderbolt. This result is already a good thing. Lou Shuwan didn't plan to visit the leaders on the mountain again, so it was Yu Yulin and Tian Shi who came forward. After meeting Zheng Ashuan, Qingmu Village entertained everyone and stayed for breakfast. While waiting, Tian Shi went to the back. Yu Yulin knew that he was probably trying to visit the Blood Bodhisattva. He walked outside the hall, and someone came over the nearby mountain road.

"General Yu, did you sleep well last night?"

Turning his head to look, Ning Yi in a white robe came over. In the early morning air, his smile seemed quite easy-going.

"Mr. Ning, what a coincidence."

"It's not a coincidence, I came to find you, General Yu." Ning Yi said with a smile.

Yu Yulin frowned: "Oh, what can Mr. Ning teach you?"

"I don't dare to give you advice. Ning came to the mountain this time to want Lu Liangshan to be better. Although he has some friction with everyone, he is not here to be a villain. I hope General Yu can understand this point."

Yu Yulin nodded in confusion.

"Ning wants to facilitate business with Tiger King. Of course, the premise is that Tiger King is willing to submit to the court and be a part of my Wu Dynasty..."

"Wait." Yu Yulin waved his hand, "Young Master Ning should have talked to Miss Lou about these things..."

Ning Yi smiled: "That's right, the conditions have been put forward to her. However, some things of kindness and resentment will inevitably make people dizzy and blind, and it is about business. The thing is the copy I gave to Miss Lou. Don't worry, the above things are the same. My suggestion is that after General Yu returns, tell Miss Lou directly that I have given you such a copy. You can say , I may want to provoke your relationship, but you confessed, so she can't cheat, and it saves a lot of trouble."

Yu Yulin looked at the envelope that Ning Yi handed over and thought that if the numbers of the two items were wrong, he might be designing Lou Shuwan. Who knew that Ning Yi would actually persuade him to confess. As a result, Lou Shuwan would not be able to do anything more. It's just that he seemed to be a little bit more attentive: "This way, Miss Lou is afraid to hate you even more. Mr. Ning, what's going on between the two of you?"

"The hatred that cannot be resolved, if she is willing to say it, General Yu will know. If she is not willing, let this matter be buried in her heart. But in general, I have no ill feelings towards her, and I hope she can do so in the future. Live a good life." Ning Yi bowed his hands, "Then I'll leave it to the general. If we can cooperate, this matter is good for both of you and me."

"Yu understands."

Yu Yulin also bowed his hands, feeling a little admiration for the man who was hostile last night. After Ning Yi left, he had breakfast in the hall. After hitting the wall, Tian Shi, who was not in a good mood, went down the mountain. After returning to the yard. Yu Yulin took out the letter according to Ning Yi's words, but what he said was still the same rhetoric that Ning Yi taught him: Ning Yi might be trying to frame Lou Shuwan. And he took the initiative to take out the letter. In this way, Lou Shuwan will also accept his love.

Sure enough, after Qiangzuo calmly checked the two pieces of data that he wanted to share, Lou Shuwan sat there, holding the letter, her eyes turning red. Ning Yi's behavior can be said to be a guarantee for the public, but for the private, it is the distrust of the gentleman's belly with a careful person. Yu Yulin silently put away his letter and went out. Although he failed this time, he still admires Lou Shuwan's ability. Knowing that Lou Shuwan will do something in Tiger King's side, he is willing to take a favor, but In private matters, he has no interest in her grievances with her inner demon.

The most important thing is that, if possible, he doesn't want to be the enemy of this guy nicknamed Inner Demon, he always feels that he is comprehensive and can count on everything.

On this morning, many people, including the Great Bright Sect, had already bid farewell to Qingmu Village and left the mountain. Due to the great victory last night and the fight that broke out in the Juyi Hall, from last night to this morning, out of concern for the Blood Bodhisattva, many people in the mountains have been ready to move, holding their anger and wanting to attack the people of the Great Light Sect . No matter how high Lin Zongwu was, he wouldn't stay in this dangerous place any longer. After saving enough face, he said goodbye to Qingmu Village in an open and honest manner, and Ning Yi, who didn't plan to mention his plan to kill him for the time being, seemed more open-minded. After the "friendly discussion", the two sides sent people down the mountain.

Turning around, Ning Yi asked someone to spread the word about Lin Zongwu, the leader of the Great Brightness, who lost to the Blood Bodhisattva in Luliang Mountain. You are so famous, you stepped on the top of a mountain, and finally walked away in despair. …

Anyway, there were not many witnesses, and the Blood Bodhisattva did not lose. After Lin Zongwu left, who would dare to tell the truth in Luliang Mountain...

On this afternoon, after things calmed down a little, what appeared at the Aoki Houshan training camp was not a celebration, but a funeral, a review, and the execution of military law.

After commending some brave soldiers and giving them two pounds of meat and a small iron medal, the announcement was followed by the list of dead companions determined last night. Part of the body was recovered and placed in front of the square. Then several battalion leaders and squadron leaders were called to the front to execute military sticks, and some of them were praised just now and received meat and medals.

"...We won the battle yesterday, and some people also showed great bravery. We don't want to erase these credits. But at the same time, the battle yesterday was a mess!" Han Jing, the most skilled soldier, spoke aloud on the wooden platform, with Ning Yi in his sleeve, and wrote out his opinions and suggestions in the name of Hongti. Back on top.

"... It's enough to win!? It seems that there are not many dead people!? Our brothers, companions, could have died less! Did you see last night, this morning, these brothers How do the family members cry? When others are happy, they can only cry at home, and some people can only be very happy. The third brigade, Fan Meng, his mother, when you are training, she always looks for some The fruit was brought to you to eat. She had been looking for Fan Meng last night. When she saw the body this morning, she cried and told me that the stockade was guarded and everyone was fine... Really? Her son died It's gone! I can't come back"

Han Jing waved his arms and shouted loudly, his eyes were already a little wet.

"Each of you has only one life, and each of your brothers has only one life. We grew up in Luliang Mountain, and it's no problem to work hard, but the purpose of hard work is to live! Why do people like Qi Qianjun and Zheng Ashi want to live today? Hit them, when they fought yesterday. They were still the bravest! But as your captains, they were incompetent! Because when we were working hard outside, they not only thought about how hard they were, but also how to ensure victory. On the premise of the premise, bring back even one more brother's life! Therefore, they are the captains. Qi Qianjun, you say, are you worthy of Fan Meng's mother?"

On the side, the man named Qi Qianjun who was lying on the bench lowered his head and did not speak. After a moment. Then he said in a rough voice: "I was wrong, I am willing to be punished!"

Han Jing turned his head and took a breath: "Of course, you will say. This is the first time you have gone out to fight after training. Some things are inexperienced. If you can't take it, it's good to win... But in fact, we still I haven't met a formidable opponent at all. Right now, there are more than 2,000 people wandering north of Luliang. They are the former Liao army. You can be so powerful against Luan Sanlang and these guys. How about against them? Can you get away with it? In any battle, we have to learn from experience. We should all look back and think about the mistakes we made this time! How to keep calm! How to keep cooperating with the brothers around you! This kind of thing! Tonight, all of you will review, as a team, each of you must think about it, and then say what you think can be done better! Finally, unite and do a review together... "

When Papa Papa started to hit the military stick, Han Jing got off the wooden platform and was quite satisfied with his speech. Cao Qianyong followed behind: "Old fifth, I didn't see you being able to say it like that, I always think it makes sense, but the taste is a bit strange..."

Han Jing took the piece of paper out of his sleeve: "According to what I said above, mother, I also feel that I am a bit sloppy. Third brother, do you think fourth brother is more suitable to come and talk about this... "

In Qingmu Village, the second and fourth are focused on administration, and the third and fifth are focused on military affairs. Cao Qianyong took the paper and looked at it: "Tsk, this Ning Rentu... Hey, you said that he and Hong mentioned something troublesome... "

"I heard about it. To be honest, I really don't like that little white face, but I also have to admit that he is very capable... Just this Lin Zongwu of the Great Bright Sect, his mother, knew that he was back last night. When it’s time to call someone to kill him, how easy it is to…”

There is a reason for the discussion between the two at this time. After last night's incident spread, Ning Yi's name and stories about him finally began to spread widely in Qingmu Village.

Originally speaking, Ning Yi came to Qingmu Village as an outsider. Even though they announced their relationship with Hongti to some people at the core of Qingmu Village, there was still a layer of estrangement between these people and Ning Yi. If it weren't for this, a large group of people went to Qingmu Village to force the palace. Qingmu Village could have been promoted. We also came to a strong aid, the head of the Secret Investigation Division, Ning Rentu, who had changed in the rivers and lakes, the development of Qingmu Village, and the training of troops. All have been influenced by him... Due to this barrier, his identity was not used here.

Ning Yi originally planned to use a period of time to eliminate this estrangement. Who knew that after the battle last night, the situation would slide in a direction that everyone had never thought of before. Daguang Sect leader Lin challenged the Blood Bodhisattva. As his own village owner, he was also a woman. After all, he was injured. After all, the person who the village owner was going to marry calmed the scene.

In Lin Zongwu's mouth, the marriage of the owner of his own village was said to be extremely ugly, and it was rumored that the two had a relationship between master and apprentice, and it was bloody! The owner of the village is bullied to such an extent, who the hell can bear it!

In the spread of these rumors, Ning Yi's identity was finally completely dug up, and the past events of Qingmu Village, his guidance on military training, and the fact that this time he brought an extremely magical firearm were all passed on. Because of these things, the original estrangement turned into an enemy in one day, and this Young Master Ning also became the most eye-catching guest in Qingmu Village.

But there are not many people who can see him.

At night, when Zheng Ashuan walked into the yard, he saw Ning Yi who was peeling an apple beside the bed in Hongti's room. The scholar raised his head and nodded to him, he then nodded and walked towards Liang Bingfu's room.

As the owner of the second village of Qingmu Village, Zheng Ashuan looks like an honest farmer. His martial arts skills are not very high, and his ability to handle affairs is only average. Qing Muzhai-style figure. Walking into the room, he reported to Liang Bingfu what happened in Qingmu Village. Due to the busy two days, this report has been said intermittently for a long time. After speaking, Liang Bingfu smiled.

"I heard. Shitou was beaten." Zheng Shitou, the captain of the fifth brigade of Qingmu Village, is also the son of Zheng Ashuan.

Zheng Ashuan said: "He did something wrong, and being beaten is a good thing. When he went home today, he also said that he couldn't help his dead brothers, saying that some brothers could not die..."

Liang Bingfu smiled and shook his head: "No matter what, it's a good thing to win."

Zheng Ashuan said: "It's a good thing that he came back safely."

"Yeah." Liang Bingfu nodded, thought for a while, then raised his head and said. "Brother Ah Shuan. Let me ask you something, what do you think about Liheng?"

"Uh... Brother Liang, what you said..."

"Cough, I mean. Liheng has come to the mountains. Now this crisis has been resolved. He is next. The first thing to intervene is actually your own affairs, some common affairs in the stockade. Arrange someone. Take care of things, open fields, repair houses, etc. Do you think it's not good for him to intervene like this, or that he has taken away your power... "

Generally speaking, it is impossible to say such words clearly, and that's why, after Liang Bingfu said it, Zheng Ashuan's face changed, and he shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, no, what's the matter, where is my ability, I myself Isn't it clear? Ning Gongzi is a very capable person, of course I don't think... "

"Brother Ah Shuan, what I said, I didn't really think about it." Seeing Zheng Ah Shuan's defense, Liang Bingfu waved his hand with a smile, and coughed twice, "The people outside are suddenly here, we don't want to think about it. , Sometimes the people below start a little friction, and it is inevitable that there will be some nails. Some things are human nature and cannot be avoided. Of course, I also know the size of your belly, brother Ah Shuan, you will never stumble on him, but This matter, just like this, I think Brother Ah Shuan, you should think in another direction."

"Uh?"

Zheng Ashuan was a little puzzled and didn't understand what the old man was talking about. Liang Bingfu took a sip of tea and thought about it before continuing to speak.

"Brother Ah Shuan, do you think... do I have the ability?"

"Brother Liang, you have been here for so long. Without you, Qingmu Village is gone. Of course you have the ability." Zheng Ashuan said.

Liang Bingfu shook his head: "You're mistaken, in fact, I am of medium aptitude, not a very capable person. I have been able to stay in Qingmu Village for so long because of my responsibility. You also know that I came from outside the mountains when I was young. , Let me tell you, people outside the mountains, there are too many people who have read books and are capable. Whether Li Heng or Qin Siyuan, the prime minister above him, they are the most capable people. Ah Shuan, I Time is running out…”

"Brother Liang, you..."

"No no no, listen to me, I know that time is short. As for Qingmu Village, after I leave, I will hand it over to Hongti. In fact, it is you who are helping support. We are at this dividing line, and we are in a precarious situation. , no one knows what the future will be like. We feel that we are powerful now, maybe one day the rain will blow and the wind will blow up again... Brother Ah Shuan, whether it is you or me, or our children and grandchildren, we have the ability. , is also the most important. While Liheng is here, you not only have to cooperate with him, but also let people learn from him..."

The old man swallowed and paused: "Young Master Ning, he is not limited to Luliang, you have to think more about it, as long as people like your Shitou and the girl have learned a little bit from him, go to It's useful after all…”

When he said this, he thought for a while, Liang Bingfu was already old after all, and sometimes his thoughts couldn't keep up, and after a while, he said, "The world outside, Liheng and the others are all people. Jing. I want Hongti to have a good life in the future, but who can say for sure? Maybe one is not good. There is something wrong with this Ning son... So you guys, when you can learn, follow along and learn more. , after all, my ability is limited, and I can't teach you very much. What you can learn from Liheng is the future road of Qingmu Village..."

The old people always want to keep their own fire, but they understand that their abilities are limited. What the old people are thinking about so far is still the future road of Qingmu Village. Zheng Ashuan nodded: "Brother Liang, I know what I mean, don't worry." He and the old man are usually common addresses, but at this time he still used "you".

The old man smiled: "Also, I heard that there are rumors about him in the stockade..."

"Well, because of Hong Ti's injury last night, Young Master Ning's reputation has spread."

"It's not enough just like this, this is a good opportunity." The old man said, "Because of the rumor about the master and apprentice that the leader Lin said last night, Hongti didn't want to get married..."

Zheng Ashuan was stunned: "This... how can it be done... "

"So, you should also talk to the outside world about this matter. This leader Lin not only ruins people's reputations, but also ruins people's marriages. Liheng has a big career outside. In order not to let this rumor affect him, Hongti doesn't want to get married anymore, we Qingmu Village were slapped in the face after all... just go out and say that."

"Then about the two of them...really..."

The night is getting darker, and the military camp in Houshan is still doing a review. The rooms in the valley are full of longing and joy. In the small yard and the old man's room, the lights are still on. In the mountains far away from Qingmu Village, some people came out of some camps, looked and said in the direction of Qingmu Village, they could no longer see the lights of Qingmu Village, but in that direction, people always let people I feel that there is a huge force that has already broken out of the shell. In the future, I don't know what kind of force it will become.

Or, will they become enemies, or friends...

Between the distant mountains, a wolf howl... (… )
