Zhou Yuanbao saw Su Yun coming in all white and didn't even say a word to him when she entered the room, so he knew that she still had some complaints against him.
He didn't know how to explain it, but when he saw Su Yun entering the house and the door was closed, for some reason, an extremely ominous premonition arose in his heart.
Su Yun's outfit clearly suggested that Xuanyuan Chong had been murdered. She came alone to seek justice for Xuanyuan Chong, and even wanted to recover Xuanyuan Chong's body from Zhou Hongji.
But Zhou Yuanbao knew that at this time, it was definitely not a wise choice for the second sister-in-law to come alone.
The guard outside the door saw Zhou Yuanbao just standing there quietly, with no intention of leaving, and did not dare to say anything. After all, Zhou Yuanbao is not only the fifth master of Montenegro, but also the adopted son of the chief master, and the number one general of Montenegro.
Of course the guards didn't dare to offend.
Although Zhou Yuanbao's hearing was very good, he could not hear clearly what was going on in the room. When Su Yun's scolding sound came faintly from inside, his heart suddenly sank.
He has always been taciturn and rarely interacts with other brothers. He only has respect for Xuanyuan Chong.
I don't know how long ago, when I was in an extremely low mood, no one told me, but I went to the small wooden house in Xuanyuanchong, Huangtu Village, and after eating a meal cooked by my second sister-in-law, the depression in my heart disappeared. That kind of quiet and peaceful life was actually...
It made him feel extremely calm.
Over the years, whenever he felt depressed or even felt a deep-seated loneliness, he would run to that cabin and eat his second sister-in-law's hot meals, and all the fatigue and depression would disappear.
In his opinion, the second sister-in-law is the kindest and most virtuous woman in the world. She always speaks gently and softly. Hearing her voice is like bathing in the spring breeze.
Sometimes he even asked himself whether it was because he lacked father's love and mother's love so much that he found the feeling he had never had before from Xuanyuan Chong and his wife.
Although Zhou Hongji was kind to him in nurturing him, Zhou Yuanbao never really understood what fatherly love was from Zhou Hongji.
That small wooden house even became the sustenance of Zhou Yuanbao's soul.
There was a faint sound of scolding from the second sister-in-law in the house, which was of course abnormal.
Based on Zhou Yuanbao's understanding of his second sister-in-law, she would never speak loudly to others, let alone scold others. At present, except for second sister-in-law Suyun, the only one in the house is the head master, who would not even speak loudly to ordinary people.
The second sister-in-law actually reprimanded the boss. This is of course not right.
Zhou Yuanbao knew something must have happened inside that shouldn't have happened.
He closed his eyes, clenched his hands into fists, and his veins popped out. When another sharp scolding came from the room, he did not hesitate anymore, turned around and walked towards the inner room. Seeing this, two guards hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, but Zhou Yuanbao was the one to stop him.
One of them pushed them away easily and kicked the door open without thinking.
The dagger sank into the second sister-in-law's heart, and Zhou Yuanbao's pupils shrank. He never expected that what he saw was such a scene. His voice was hoarse and sad: "Second sister-in-law...!" Like a cheetah, Zai Su rushed over.
Before Yun fell down, he had already stretched out his arms to hug her. He slowly squatted down and watched the blood coming out of the corner of the second sister-in-law's mouth. He couldn't believe it.
Zhou Hongji stood stunned.
In the past two years, Du Zitong has often brought him women from the mountains. They were all girls from good families. Although they resisted at first, they all gave in in the end under Zhou Hongji's coercion and inducement. Therefore, in Zhou Hongji's view, this
There is no such thing as a woman in the world that he can't handle.
Although this young woman he had coveted for a long time was Xuanyuan Chong's woman, she was still a woman after all. In such a desperate situation, there was no reason why he could not succeed by coercing and tempting her.
But he never expected that Suyun looked weak but had such a strong temperament.
The dagger was inserted into her heart, and this woman had no chance of survival.
"Second sister-in-law...!" Zhou Yuanbao looked at his second sister-in-law, whose face was as pale as paper, full of despair and self-blame. Of course he knew that Suyun's knife had hit a vital point, and even the Da Luo immortal could not save him. He raised his head abruptly,
Looking at Zhou Hongji, his eyes were like daggers, and he said sternly: "What have you done?"
Zhou Hongji forced Su Yun to death, but at this moment he also felt guilty. Seeing Yuan Bao's eyes bursting with fire, he couldn't help but take two steps back and said in a weak voice: "I...I don't know why she...why she did this
?”
Suyun was dying, looking at Yuanbao shedding tears, she smiled bitterly and said: "Yuan... Yuanbao, from now on... I can't... cook for you anymore...!"
” His body sank and he lost his breath.
"Second sister-in-law...!" Zhou Yuanbao burst into tears and his voice sounded like a wolf howling.
Zhou Hongji said hurriedly: "Come...someone...!"
Several guards rushed into the house and were shocked when they saw the scene inside.
"She...she can't think about it anymore and wants to commit suicide. I...I can't stop it...!" Zhou Hongji didn't dare to look at Zhou Yuanbao for a while, and his whole body seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.
, said dejectedly: "I didn't want to kill her...!"
Zhou Yuanbao looked at Su Yun with tears in his eyes. Although she was dead, she seemed to be sleeping, with a calm expression on her face.
"It's my fault." Zhou Yuanbao murmured: "I can't even protect you...!" He raised his hand and slapped his face wildly, and half of his face was quickly filled with blood.
Swelling up, several guards looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Zhou Hongji reluctantly said: "Yuanbao, you...you don't have to be too sad, this...!"
Zhou Yuanbao ignored it at all, picked up Su Yun, turned around and walked out the door without even looking at Zhou Hongji. Seeing this, Zhou Hongji hurriedly said: "You...where are you going?"
Several guards tried to stop him, but Zhou Yuanbao's voice was as cold as ice: "If you don't want to die, just get out of the way!"
Seeing Zhou Yuanbao's murderous expression, the guards dared to stop him and got out of the way. They watched helplessly as Zhou Yuanbao carried Su Yun out.
Zhou Hongji watched Zhou Yuanbao's back disappear, and his feet suddenly softened, and he collapsed on the ground. Several people hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, but Zhou Hongji weakly shook his head. Thinking of Zhou Yuanbao's wolf-like eyes just now, he suddenly
Suddenly, a chill spread from his back to his whole body. At this moment, his mind went blank.
Qin Xiao, who was hundreds of miles away, naturally knew about the sudden changes in Black Mountain.
Although they could not send people to sneak into the mountains to find out the news, Long Ruijun still sent spies to keep an eye on the Black Mountain area. Huangtu Village raised troops, and Du Zitong led the troops to surround the Huangtu Village at the foot of the mountain. With such a change, naturally there were spies to Qin Xiao.
Report.
Inside the big tent, there was a charcoal fire and it was warm.
Less than three days after Jiang Xiaochun arrived with the Neiku cavalry, Gu Baiyi and Zhao Shengtai finally arrived with two thousand soldiers and horses.
For Qin Xiao, Gu Baiyi's arrival made his heart finally feel at ease.
There were many acquaintances who arrived with Gu Baiyi. In addition to Zhao Shengtai, the third boss Chen Zhitai and Geng Shao also came with the team.
When She Yue escaped from Suzhou City, the troops were divided into three groups. Qin Xiao and Princess She Yue went alone. Geng Shao took people directly to Hangzhou Camp to ask for help from the eldest grandson Yuanxin. After that, Geng Shao followed the eldest grandson Yuanxin to kill
Return to Suzhou City and to Gu Baiyi.
The third master, Chen Zhitai, followed Gu Baiyi as a bait to lure away the Suzhou battalion cavalry. After retaking Suzhou City, Chen Zhitai also followed Gu Baiyi.
When leaving the customs this time, Chen Zhitai and Geng Shao naturally came with them as a matter of course.
However, the Third Master felt a little disappointed.
He originally wanted to persuade Mrs. Wang Yu Xuanwu to follow him out of seclusion. After all, Wang Hongcai was dead and Yu Xuanwu was alone and helpless in Suzhou. The third master wanted to take on the responsibility of taking care of Yu Xuanwu, but he was
Yu Xuanwu declined politely.
However, during that time, the third master was considerate and took good care of Yu Xuanwu. Yu Xuanwu was not an indifferent person. Knowing that the third master was about to leave the country, he personally sewed a fur vest for the third master, which made the third master
I cherish it so much that I almost never take it off after receiving it.
He asked Geng Shao many times for advice on what Yu Xuanwu's thoughts were behind giving him clothes.
Geng Shao, relying on his little experience, gave him some advice and told him that it was Yu Xuanwu who hoped that the third master of the family could do something in the Northeast. When he became famous, he could return to Suzhou and marry Yu Xuanwu. Although the third master of the family was not
He didn't think it was more reliable, but his words still made sense to him. He felt that even if Geng Shao had spoken nonsense before, he had hit the nail on the head this time, so he made up his mind to follow General Qin.
Once you become a good person and become famous, you must go back and marry a wife.
After learning about the situation in Montenegro, the generals of Long Rui's army discussed matters in the big tent.
Naturally, Qin Xiao had informed Gu Baiyi of the situation here in detail, and Gu Baiyi also believed that if he wanted to truly start training troops in Songyang Grassland, the first step must be to eliminate the threat of Montenegro. After all, there are nearly 10,000 troops in Montenegro.
, and if you lose a battle, you will definitely be resentful. As long as you recover, you will become a hidden danger sooner or later.
"Fire merger!" After the third master learned about the situation, he first expressed his opinion and said with great certainty: "General, there must be a fire merger over there in Montenegro."
After the Third Master arrived at Caochang, he realized that the general had not forgotten him. The imperial court had offered him a military position as a seventh-grade Linghui Colonel. Although he was one level lower than Geng Shao's sixth-grade Zhaowu Colonel, the Chen family
For seven generations up to that point, no one had held an official position. However, the third master still cherished the military position of Lieutenant Colonel and felt that this was the beginning of his rise to the top.
After all, a county magistrate is only in the ninth rank, and he started out as a seventh-rank captain, which is not a low starting point.
Qin Xiao said with a smile: "Colonel Chen knows the lives of our friends on the mountain very well, why don't you analyze it for everyone."
When Chen Zhitai was in Xiling, he was also the third master of Jigong Gorge. He was really familiar with the tricks on the mountain. He immediately smiled and said: "General, if your own people surround your own people, that is a war. There are usually two types of this.
One reason is that the spoils are unevenly distributed. It is the most common thing for several leaders on the mountain to have conflicts because of the uneven distribution of the spoils. Although the people on the mountain usually call themselves brothers and brothers, they all say that loyalty comes first, but when there are benefits, they all want to take advantage of them.
If there are more people, then there will inevitably be uneven distribution of the spoils. They are all licking blood from the knife edge. If they are bullied, they must find their place."
"That makes sense." Qin Xiao smiled and said, "What else could happen?"
Chen Zhitai chuckled and said: "Women, there is a rule on the road, you are not allowed to seduce the second sister-in-law, it is taboo. But not many people really abide by this rule. When they see other people's wives are beautiful, they become jealous and get jealous.
It is also common to use a knife to fight if you are not successful."
Geng Shao nodded and said: "Colonel Chen is very experienced in this, and what he said must be right. However, Black Mountain has existed for so many years, and the uneven distribution of spoils should not exist. Colonel Chen, according to what you said, the merger of Black Mountain this time,
