In the early morning, the entire Tuntian Mountain is busy.
After last night's bloody battle, Tuntian Mountain was in chaos everywhere.
At this moment, Liu Hongtao had mobilized an army of 20,000 men and was stationed near Tuntian Mountain, which became their forward position.
Song Yuanshan and Duan Lingxiao guarded the southern and western slopes of Yuntian Ridge respectively, and set up camp there, completely blocking the remaining two passages down the mountain.
The outskirts of Yuntian Ridge have completely fallen into the hands of the bandit-suppressing army.[
At the foot of the mountain, they set up a defense line in advance to ensure that no bandits could escape.
It has become a foregone conclusion to close the door and beat the dog.
During the whole time, Tuntian Mountain became a temporary headquarters, and Liu Hongtao's army was cleaning up the scene intensively and setting up defenses nearby.
In the past, when encircling and suppressing bandits, they always secured a place to retreat. This time, the army entered Yuntianling. This signal was to tell the bandits that the court was determined to suppress the bandits this time.
Liu Xia stood outside the ruins of the Juyi Hall in Tuntian Mountain, watching the officers and soldiers carrying corpses down the mountain, and couldn't help but sigh.
Yesterday, in the battle, the entire Juyi Gang was wiped out.
Counting the results of the first three days, they have killed more than 9,000 people.
This was a huge number, and it was also a massacre. All the heads of those bandits were hung in Yuntian Ridge, creating a strong sense of oppression for the remaining bandits.
After this battle, Yuntian Ridge was called Rentou Ridge by the people here because there were beheaded heads hanging everywhere.
Of course, this is a later story.
"Your Majesty, General Song and General Duan have received news that they have blocked the main road on the mountain. Unless Black Wind Village and Tianlong Village break out together, they can only sit back and wait for death."
Liu Hongtao smiled.
This time to suppress the bandits, the Chinese army will definitely win. Following Liu Xia, he will indeed be promoted to a higher position.
"You sent out all the spies I asked you to send out?"
Liu Xia asked.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, our scouting horses are now all over Yuntian Ridge, and no slightest sign of trouble will escape our eyes."
Liu Hongtao said.
"Very good, bring Zhao Wenzhi up. I have something to ask him."
Liu Xia said.[
"promise!"
Liu Hongtao hurriedly turned around and left. After a moment, Zhao Wenzhi was pressed up.
During the fierce battle last night, he had been at the foot of the mountain. When he went up the mountain just now, he saw that the foundation he had worked so hard to build was now in ruins.
Of course, this wasn't what frightened him the most.
When he went up the mountain just now, he saw the executioners of the Chinese army beheading people there. There were hundreds of heads, bloody, and some of them were familiar faces. This was what scared him the most.
It is said that these bandits have lost their humanity, bully men and women, and do no evil. But compared with Liu Xia, they can only be regarded as brats, and Liu Xia is the Lord of Hell.
What Zhao Wenzhi didn't expect was that Liu Xia was just a young child.
However, it also proves the old saying, evil people will be punished by evil people.
When Zhao Wenzhi saw Liu Xia, he knelt on the ground with a thud. He didn't want to hang his head on the mountain.
"Zhao Wenzhi, have you ever thought about where your Juyi Gang will be today?"
Liu Xia put her hands behind her back and looked at the undulating sea of clouds in the distance, turning her back to him and asked.
"No, no."
Zhao Wenzhi hesitated for a moment and then said calmly.
"Do you think that the imperial court will continue to be corrupt forever, and that you will continue to harm the people here?"
Liu Xia said coldly.
"My lord, please spare my life, my lord, please spare my life."
"Get up, I'm not planning to kill you now."
Zhao Wenzhi breathed a sigh of relief and stood up gingerly.
"People's hearts are inherently greedy, and so am I. That's why today's situation in Yuntian Ridge occurs. However, as long as I live, I will not let the people here make the same mistake again. Zhao Wenzhi, you and I will go to Tianlong Village tonight.
I want to meet this Qian Zhen."
Suddenly, Liu Xia said this abruptly.
Zhao Wenzhi, who had just stood up, knelt down again with a pop.
He could convince Qian Zhen by himself. Even if he failed, Qian Zhen would at least not kill him.[
However, if he went with Liu Xia, it would be strange if Qian Zhen didn't skin him alive.
Because he knew that what Qian Zhen hated most was these corrupt officials.
"Your Majesty, think twice. There are so many experts in Tianlong Village and it is very dangerous. This kind of thing can be left to the common people. Your Majesty, you really don't need to risk your life."
Zhao Wenzhi hurriedly advised.
"Haha, I have already decided. You go and prepare. We will set off at dusk."
Liu Xia sneered.
When Zhao Wenzhi heard this, his heart became cold. It seemed that this surrender was not that simple.
Before I knew it, it was already dusk.
After Liu Xia finished handling his official duties, he practiced for two more hours, looked at the distant mountains, and as the sun set in the west, he notified Zhao Wenzhi to set off.
On the way, Zhao Wenzhi was frightened.
He knew that if Liu Xia revealed his identity when he went to Tianlong Village, he would probably have a narrow escape from death.
He knew that Liu Xia was highly skilled in cultivation, but what would he do when the time came?
This is called a frown.
After walking for less than two hours, they arrived at the outskirts of Tianlong Village.
Tianlong Village has always been located at the northern foot of Yuntian Ridge, and their village is quite large.
The entire Tianlong Village is divided into six camps, and the headquarters is set up near Dusk Mountain.
As soon as they arrived at the foot of Dusk Mountain, they met the patrolling Tianlong Village team.
After Zhao Wenzhi revealed his identity, those people didn't dare to neglect. They hurriedly conquered Zhao Wenzhi and Liu Xia and entered Dusk Mountain.
After crossing the gate of the cottage, they saw camps scattered all over the mountains and fields.
The main buildings of Tianlong Village are all built on the slopes of Dusk Mountain. Although most of the buildings are made of wood, they still look very spectacular.
At this moment, the entire hillside was lit by bonfires, like stars in the sky.
In a short time, they were taken to the hall of Tianlong Village.
Liu Xia entered the hall and saw twelve chairs in the hall. In the center of the hall, there was a huge green-ridged beast's skin, which looked rough and mighty.
After serving tea, after waiting for a while, I heard footsteps.
Immediately, Qian Zhen entered the hall.
However, this time Qian Zhen was helped into the hall. It was obvious that Dabao had been tough on him yesterday.
"Oh, Master Qian, what's wrong with you?"
Zhao Wenzhi asked hurriedly.
After Qian Zhen sat down, he said with a pale face: "Forget it, yesterday I received intelligence that Tuntian Mountain was raided, so I took people to reinforce, but in the end, I was ambushed by the enemy. I was captured by one of their masters
Injured. Fortunately, Wu Cheng tried his best to save me, otherwise, you would not be able to see me."
At this moment, Zhao Wenzhi looked embarrassed. Qian Zhen felt sorry for him. As a result, he brought Liu Xia here today. He didn't need to think about it to know what the scene would be like.
"Zhao Qian is indeed very righteous, which makes me feel really ashamed."
Zhao Wenzhi said awkwardly.
"Why are you talking about this? We are all brothers, so there is no reason to refuse to save him. How did Brother Zhao escape?"
Qian Zhen asked.
Zhao Wenzhi's face immediately became hot, and he smiled awkwardly: "This... this..."
Seeing his hesitation, Qian Zhen knew that he also had a narrow escape, so he waved his hand and said: "It's okay, no one has a chance to climb high and step down. No need to say more, brother. Now your Juyi Gang has been destroyed. Although I, Tianlong Village, can't compete with
Compared with Heifeng Village, but Brother Zhao actually came to seek refuge with me, then I have to hand it over to you.
Chair. Right now, the Celestial Army is eyeing us. I am afraid that the imperial troops will soon surround us. If Brother Zhao is willing, please stay and help me. When we repel the imperial army, if I want to build another mountain, I will never stop him.
, if I am willing to follow me all the time, this position of deputy village leader will be yours."
Zhao Wenzhi was so moved that he almost shed tears. As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed, he had always known that Qian Zhen was a man of righteousness, but he experienced it firsthand today.
Then I felt that I was very proud of myself.
However, he had no way out.
He took a deep breath and said: "Brother Qian, do you really think that we are opponents of the imperial court?"
When Qian Zhen heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.
"To be honest, after the battle between the imperial army yesterday, I knew in my heart that this time, we are all in danger. The imperial encirclement and suppression this time is different from previous years. Not only are the troops strong, but Prince Weiyuan is also ruthless and ruthless.
Cunning. However, I will not surrender to the imperial court. Even if I die, I will fight to the death with these dog officials of the imperial court."
Qian Zhen said firmly.
"Then Master Qian is going to be buried with all your brothers?"
At this time, Liu Xia, who was sitting on one side, suddenly asked.
Qian Zhen was stunned. Seeing that this man was young and had followed Zhao Wenzhi, he thought he was a personal follower of Zhao Wenzhi. However, he looked a little unfamiliar, so he asked curiously: "Brother Zhao, this
Who is this young man?”
Zhao Wenzhi knew that sooner or later he would not be able to hide, so he bit the bullet and said: "Brother Qian, I'm not going to hide it, he is Prince Weiyuan sent by the imperial court to encircle and suppress us."
"What!"
At that moment, Qian Zhen was stunned, and then shouted: "Here comes someone!"
Suddenly, there was the sound of messy footsteps, and about a hundred people rushed into the hall in an instant.
"Zhao, I regard you as a brother, but I didn't expect you to be so shameless and defect to the imperial court. Kill them both."
Having said this, Qian Zhen pulled out his weapon.
"stop!"
At this time, Liu Xia shouted sharply. At that moment, everyone was stunned.
"Qian Zhen, I'm here to give you a chance. Do you think you can kill me?"
Speaking of this, Ao Cangqiong's aura suddenly came out.
Suddenly, a strong pressure instantly filled the entire hall. Those who rushed into the hall fell to their knees. The aura of the saint was no joke.
Even Qian Zhen was suppressed by this aura and took two steps back, staring at Liu Xia in shock.
He had long heard that Liu Xia was a Tianwen-level Onmyoji. He had not believed it at first, but now he finally believed it.
"Guan Gu, you and I have nothing to talk about. What about the saint? I, Tianlong Village, will not be afraid of you."
Qian Zhen said angrily.
"You are quite brave, but Qian Zhen, you really don't have to drag your brothers to be buried with you. They still have a way to live. If they continue to resist like this, they will all die. Have you ever thought about their wives, children, and children?
Their families?”
Liu Xia sneered.
"Hmph, stop talking about these useless things. If it weren't for your greed, how could we have gotten to where we are today?"
Qian said angrily.
"The imperial court will naturally make up for its mistakes. This king is not here to suppress bandits, but to restore peace to Pingzhou. I will not let go of any of those corrupt officials. However, if you continue to resist, Yuanping
