The entire Tianlong Village was completely silent.
However, in the meeting hall of Tianlong Village, the lights were brightly lit.
Here, there are fourteen people in total at this moment.
The leaders of the entire Tianlong Village are here tonight, and the atmosphere in the hall is very solemn at this moment.[
Everyone knew that they had been called here to discuss important matters.
Therefore, everyone was sitting upright, waiting for Qian Zhen to speak.
"Ahem, everyone. I have a letter here. You should read it first."
Qian Zhen looked around and handed Huang Long's letter to everyone.
After Huang Long's letter passed by, everyone's expressions on their faces were different.
"Master of the Village, this Huang Long is obviously trying to take advantage of the situation and rob us."
"Yeah, today he said he was bringing food, and it turns out he was a weasel paying New Year greetings. He didn't mean well."
At that moment, two leaders said angrily.
"Everyone, you can't say that. We have all seen the imperial court's determination to suppress the bandits this time, and the opponent's military strength is more than ten times ours. We are not the imperial court's opponents. If Huanglong really has a strategy to retreat from the enemy, we will
You have to think of a way out, right?"
At this time, another leader said.
"Fart, those people from Black Wind Village, whose hands have not been stained with the blood of our brothers? Now that we are going to take refuge with him, how are you going to explain to those brothers who died at the hands of Black Wind Village?"
Another leader said angrily.
At that moment, the hall became a mess, everyone was cursing and about to take action.
"That's enough, sit down."
Qian Zhen immediately stood up and said angrily.
At that moment, there was silence in the hall.
"Everyone, the imperial army is stationed more than fifty miles away from us. How long has it been and you are still fighting among yourself here! Do you want to hang your head in Yuntianling like the Juyi Gang?"
Qian Zhen shouted angrily.
At that moment, everyone in the hall lowered their heads.[
"I won't hide it from you guys, the only three paths before us now are. Either, be the same as the Juyi Gang. Or, join forces with the Black Wind Village. The last path is to accept the imperial edict. Let's gather everyone tonight
We are together, and I just want to hear your opinions. After all, this is a life-or-death moment."
When Qian Zhen said this, he was supported by his hands and continued: "We can't defeat the imperial army by combining the forces in our hands. We all know this in our hearts. I, Qian Zhen, am not afraid of death, but I don't want you either.
Just die in vain. Therefore, I do not agree with this path. The rest must either belong to Heifeng Village or accept the imperial decree. As the leader of the village, I will always find a way for you to survive."
Qian Zhen said seriously,
"Master, although we are not the opponents of the imperial court, we are not afraid of the imperial court. If you want me to see it, we might as well fight with them."
At that moment, a leader said.
"Shut up, Wang Erniu, you know how to fight. Have you ever thought about your mother, your wife, and your child?"
Qian said angrily.
Wang Erniu was stunned and stopped talking.
There was silence in the hall at the moment.
"We went up to the mountain just for a way to survive. The imperial court forced us to do it. We had no choice. If the imperial court could give us a way to survive and live our previous lives again, I think that would be a solution."
A leader said.
"Hmph, corrupt officials are in power now. Even if we are punished, will there really be a good ending? Don't forget what happened to Wang Fu'an who was punished that year?"
"You can't say that. I heard that Prince Weiyuan is a good man and has killed many corrupt officials."
"Humph, it's just a show. The world is as dark as crows."
"that is."
When Qian Zhen heard this, he stretched out his hand and said: "Whether we are Zhao'an or Huanglong, the road back is dark and we can't see. We can only cross the river by feeling the stones. Let's cut through the mess quickly.
Let’s solve it in the usual way. I think you guys don’t have any objections to this, right?”
Within Tianlong Village, if there are unresolved differences, everyone will vote to decide.
This is a tradition that has been going on for many years.
With that said, Wu Cheng took out the ballot box.
Many leaders distributed pens and papers, and everyone fell silent.
At this moment, Qian Zhen also felt a little headache. He rubbed his temples and leaned back on the chair tiredly.
I don’t know why, but I feel very tired today.[
After a long quarter of an hour, Wu Cheng began to collect tickets.
Immediately, Wu Cheng started counting votes.
At this moment, everyone was confused.
After a while, the results came out.
In fact, there were only two votes that decided to fight to the end.
Those who agreed to join Heifeng Village had three votes.
The remaining people all supported Zhao'an.
This result was beyond Qian Zhen's expectation.
I thought that everyone was like him, ready to fight to the death. It seemed that not everyone had the courage to face death.
As for Huang Long's tricks, Qian Zhen knew that no one would agree.
Because too many brothers died at the hands of Heifeng Village.
At this time, Qian Zhen suddenly felt relieved and stood up and said: "The results have come out. I think this is what most people think. I don't know what the imperial edict will be like, but we must always do it for us."
Take a gamble on your own future. According to our usual rules, this matter has been settled. I will be responsible for contacting the court. However, I also advise everyone to prepare for the worst."
Everyone nodded.
"The leader of the village who is dissatisfied with the gangsters is really working too hard. The brothers below me know the new policy of the imperial court, and dozens of them have already escaped. I originally thought that none of you were willing, but now look,
We can take a gamble."
At that moment, Sun Pei said with admiration.
"Okay, let's get over it now. We will discuss the details after I contact the court."
Qian Zhen said.
Everyone nodded and prepared to leave, but at this moment, Sun Peiwei's feet softened and he immediately knelt on the ground, and then shouted: "No, it's poisonous!"
"What!"
Qian Zhen was startled. At this time, he heard a burst of hurried footsteps, and then Zhang Lei kicked the door open.
"you!"
Qian Zhen felt full of strength and leaned back on the chair.
"Haha, Master Qian, I'm sorry. Our leader warmly invited you, but you are ready to surrender to the imperial court. You are really spineless."
Zhang Lei laughed and said.
"Despicable villain, even if you kill us, will you be able to rule Tianlong Village?"
Qian said angrily.
"Haha, Qian Zhen, Qian Zhen, haven't you understood it by now?"
Zhang Lei sneered.
At this time, he saw Wu Cheng slowly getting up, and there were three leaders who got up with Wu Cheng.
These four people have obviously been bribed by Heifeng Village.
However, Qian Zhen looked at Wu Cheng in shock.
Those three leaders were just outsiders and always unreliable, but Wu Cheng had been following him for many years, and he never believed that Wu Cheng would betray him.
"You were the one who administered the poison!"
At this moment, Qian Zhen suddenly realized.
Wu Chengnai was his personal attendant, so he was the most convenient to poison.
When they were discussing matters and serving tea, he felt something was wrong with the tea, but he was too preoccupied to take it to heart.
"Haha, Brother Qian, I did inject the poison. Are you curious as to why I wanted to harm you?"
Wu Cheng stood behind Zhang Lei and smiled lightly.
Qian Zhen shook his head in confusion, he really couldn't figure out why this happened.
"You are going to die anyway, so I will tell you the truth. I have been by your side, working as a cow and a horse for you, and going through life and death with you. Even if you don't tell me at the foot of the mountain, I have also made great contributions in Tianlong Village, why are you
Don’t want me to be the leader? I know that you look down on me from the bottom of your heart. However, if I kill you, I will be the leader of Tianlong Village, and Huanglong has already promised me. Hahahaha.”
Wu Cheng suddenly laughed.
"Wu Cheng, I have never wanted you to be the leader. I just hope that one day you can leave Tianlong Village and Yuanpingzhou. The world is so big, do you have to be a bandit? I have persuaded you several times to let you
You leave. It turns out that in your heart, you have always wanted to be the leader of this village? Hey!"
Qian Zhen smiled bitterly at this moment.
Wu Cheng has been with him for many years. He just wants to find a good home for Wu Cheng. Why not be better than being a bandit?
Qian Zhen knew in his heart that the Tianji Dynasty had not yet reached the point of dying, and it would be a matter of time before they were destroyed.
As a result, Wu Chengcheng unexpectedly hated himself because of these things.
"Hmph, stop saying such nice things. Do you think I will believe it?"
Having said this, Wu Cheng walked over and kicked Qian Zhen in the chest. Qian Zhen was immediately kicked away and hit the wall, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"That's okay, that's okay. If you can get your wish by killing me, then do it. But I beg you, the remaining people are all innocent. After you become the leader of this village, let them live."
Qian Zhen was completely dejected at this moment. Now that his great revenge had been avenged anyway, he was still alive like a walking corpse. He was so disheartened at this moment that he might as well go and reunite with Wang Rui as soon as possible.
Having said this, Qian Zhen closed his eyes.
"The village master, the village master!"
The remaining leaders panicked and shouted hurriedly.
"Hahahaha, Qian Zhen, look at how you look now, just like a dog. Don't worry, they will all go underground to accompany you. In addition, there is one more thing I haven't told you."
Wu Cheng said with a proud look on his face.
At this time, he walked up to Qian Zhen, stepped on Qian Zhen's cheek and said: "To tell you the truth, I was the one who drugged Wang Rui back then, and I was also the one who led the drunk Zhang Zixuan to Wang Rui's room.
I have to say, that bitch Wang Rui is really a beauty in the world. After serving her
After Zhang Zixuan, after Zhang Zixuan sobered up, he ran away. Then I felt relieved. Brother, you are really lucky. Unfortunately, that bitch recognized me, so I had to kill her. Poor Zhang Zixuan
, thought Wang Rui died because of his shame. Haha."
"brute!"
Qian Zhen said angrily.
"Haha, yes, I am a beast. You knew clearly that I was obsessed with Wang Rui to death, but you still married her. I don't accept it, but let's go down and reunite with her as soon as possible."
Wu Cheng smiled coldly, then slowly pulled out Qian Zhen's long knife and said with a ferocious smile: "It's over!"
Qian Zhen roared angrily: "Beast, even if I were a ghost, I would never let you go."
However, Wu Cheng's long sword had already fallen.
At this critical moment, a bloody light suddenly flew towards Wu Cheng. Wu Cheng suddenly dodged and the bloody light passed him by.
When Wu Chengyi turned around, he was stunned.
The entire hall was also stunned.
Because, I don’t know when Liu Xia had appeared in the room.
