Human City is jointly controlled by an alliance formed by various forces from various ethnic groups. Some of the ethnic groups have a small number of people in the local area and are not considered powerful, such as Turks, Uighurs, Tibetans, etc. There are three parties with the largest population: Mongols, Jurchens and Han people.
"Black Wind Banner" is the most powerful force among the Jurchens in Human City, and this Black Animal Farm is the market opened by "Black Wind Banner".
The leader of the "Black Wind Flag", Zhuo Duoerhan, is a middle-aged man with sallow skin, a short beard, and a lean build. He wears a long robe and mandarin all year round, and the long braids on the back of his head are always combed smoothly. Shining brightly, and always holding a sandalwood abacus in his hand.
From the outside, he looks like a typical businessman.
At this moment, Zhuo Duoerhan was sitting in a tent behind the Black Animal Farm.
Compared with the spacious yurts built by the Mongols, the Jurchens' tents are obviously smaller, but more detailed. Perhaps this is because the Jurchens in ancient times lived more in the forest and made a living by hunting. They are not really nomadic people on the grassland.
In fact, not only in the past, but also in the current Hou Jin and Manchu Qing Dynasties, they also followed the lifestyle left by their ancestors, but the targets of hunting were no longer the wild beasts in the primitive forests, but the people of the Ming Dynasty in the pass. .
Of course, hunting is not a completely dangerous thing. If you don't do it well, you may be eaten by the prey, and it is not surprising that you lose your life.
Zhuo Duoerhan sat at the table, playing with the sandalwood abacus with his fingers, but his eyes were turning left and right, and the expression on his face was uncertain. And the tent curtain was lifted, and a big man who looked like a black tower was walking with his big steps. Walked in.[
"Huluba, how is the search going?" Zhuo Dorhan asked before the visitor could say anything.
This big man named Horuba had no clothes on his upper body except for a heart-protecting leather armor. Dark muscles were exposed on his shoulders and back. He had a half-foot-wide cowhide belt tied around his waist, and a scimitar hanging on the belt. His stout body looks extremely narrow. He wears black leather pants that reach his knees, his legs are thickly black, and his leather boots are more than a foot and a half long.
"Found it," Huruba's voice was as rough as his body, "I've had it made by someone. It's in the woods in the Malanyu area to the west."
With a "bang", Zhuo Duoerhan slapped his palm on the table: "What did you say! Wanyan Lei and his group of twelve people were all killed?"
Horuba's head sank and he nodded, saying, "Yes, I have checked their corpses. Eleven of them died under the knife. Wanyan Lei's stomach was opened by his own axe."
Zhuo Duo Erhan stood up from his chair, gritted his back molars, walked a few steps in the tent, and said: "What a waste! I told him to stay in Human City, but he didn't Listen, he also said that he wanted to go out to fight the Autumn Wind of the Southern Barbarians! But it’s a good thing now, the Autumn Wind didn’t blow, and it cost everyone’s life, and a large group of people went out and not even a single one came back!”
Horuba said: "Then what should we do now?"
Zhuo Duoerhan said angrily: "Only Wanyan Lei knows the method of contacting the seller and the terms of the transaction. What can he do if he asks someone to kill me! And that guy is the nephew of Marshal Namutai. , now he is dead here, if we don’t catch the murderer and kill him, it will be difficult for us to explain to Shengjing!"
Horuba said: "I didn't see the black horse in the woods. It was probably ridden away. As long as we find the horse, we should be able to find the person who killed him."
Zhuo Dorhan stroked the edge of the sandalwood abacus, and finally calmed down a little, and said: "Okay, you send more people to look for it. Malanyu is not far from here, and maybe the murderer will come to Human." When the city comes, we must also search the city. Once we find it, we should deal with it carefully. Anyone who can kill Yan Lei and eleven iron guards should be a mediocre person."
Horuba grinned, revealing his yellow front teeth, and said: "Don't worry, Flag Master, I will handle it myself when the time comes."
Zhuo Duoerhan nodded, sat back on the chair, and started playing with the abacus again. But at this moment, a person hurried in from outside the tent, and it was one of his subordinates.
"Tell the flag master that two people are coming in front and want to see you," the Black Wind Banner said.
Zhuo Duoerhan said: "Who is it? What business do you have with me?"
The bannermen said: "They are two Han people, a man and a woman. The woman has her face covered. They don't want to say anything. They just say they want to see the flag owner." [
Zhuo Duoerhan had just received the news of Wanyan Lei's death, and he was already in a bad mood. He frowned and waved his hands: "No! If they dare to pester them, they will be beaten up and kicked out!"
The bannermen claimed that it was, but before they could turn around and leave the tent, they suddenly heard a muffled "bang" sound coming from outside the tent, followed by the sound of a body falling to the ground.
Only a hoarse voice was heard saying: "Master Shi, this Tatar said he would beat us up and drive us out, but he didn't know who was beating whom."
Another woman's voice said: "We are just looking for people, there is no need to kill them, just knock down everyone who blocks the way."
The hoarse voice responded: "Yes."
Only a few more muffled sounds were heard, mixed with two screams. It was obvious that the "Black Wind Flag" flag members guarding outside the tent had been injured by someone coming.
The hoarse voice said: "It's all settled, Mr. Shi, please go into the tent!"
Inside the tent, Zhuo Duo Erhan's expression changed, and Hu Luba came to the door in a hurry, just waiting for the other party to give him a big blow as soon as he entered the door.
But when he saw the hanging curtain on the tent door move, someone was really trying to push through the curtain. Before the curtain could be lifted, Hu Luba suddenly stretched out his right palm, grabbed the opponent's palm, and used enough strength to twist and send it away. !
This Fuluba is a master of wrestling. This move is called "twisting". When he uses it in his hand, it has the strength of a thousand kilograms. Even a big man weighing hundreds of kilograms will fall immediately. Fall out.
However, the visitor did not fall out. With a turn of his wrist, Hu Luba's strength was eliminated, and he used his backhand to grab his wrist. Hu Luba saw that the opponent's palm was out of his grasp, and his left arm quickly reached out. He has already put his arm around the opponent's shoulders, and is using another trick in wrestling called "hanging the door backwards" to grab the opponent and throw him out!
There was a continuous "bang bang" sound. There was a curtain between the two of them, and neither could see the other's face, but they used their own methods, and they had already used four or five moves in an instant.
Hearing a "boom" sound, Hu Luba collided with the opponent's force and took three steps back before he could regain his footing. The door curtain made of thick brocade canvas was struck by the force of the collision. It immediately broke into pieces of cloth and scattered on the ground.
Without the curtain, you can immediately see what's going on outside the tent.
The people who came were indeed a man and a woman. The man who had just fought with Hu Luba was a man in his thirties, wearing a dark blue coat, with a garlic nose and mung bean eyes. He was ugly. This man stood seven feet in front of the door. Obviously, the collision just now caused him to take two or three steps back.
Hu Luba was a strong man eight feet tall, with a body like an iron tower. However, this man was only six feet tall, and his body was not thick. It was surprising that he did not lose at all when competing with Hu Luba in terms of strength.
Behind the man stood a woman in a light silk shirt and skirt, with a slender figure, an emerald green cloak on her shoulders, her hair on her head like clouds, her face covered with a veil, only a pair of eyes exposed, but she could not see Clear appearance.
At the feet of these two people, four or five Black Wind Banners were lying on the ground. They were obviously knocked down because they blocked them.
Seeing that all the flag soldiers who fell to the ground had broken bones and tendons, and all suffered injuries, Zhuo Duoerhan's face became even more gloomy, and he said: "How dare two southern barbarians come to the black sheep farm to cause trouble? It's really a shame." You are so brave! Hu Luba, please send an alarm to me!"
This is the territory of the "Black Wind Banner". As soon as the alarm bell rings, hundreds of bannermen can be gathered immediately. No matter how powerful this man and woman are, they will never be able to defeat so many people.
At this time, the masked woman was heard saying: "Zhuo Tuo Banner Master, Wanyan Lei is dead, don't you want to make a deal?"
Horuba was about to pull the cord of the alarm bell, but Zhuo Dorhan suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute!"
The lean Black Wind Flag Master stood up from his chair, stared at the masked woman, and said, "What did you just say?"
The masked woman said: "We are here to visit just to make a long-agreed deal with you Jurchens. If the leader of Zhuotuo Banner is not sincere enough to invite us in, then the deal will be cancelled."
Zhuo Duoerhan's face looked uncertain. After a while, he finally raised his hand and said, "You two, please come in and talk."
Horuba stepped aside at Zhuo Turhan's signal. The ugly man was in front, and the masked woman was behind. The two of them filed into the door.
In the tent, there was a chair next to the table. The masked woman did not wait for Zhuo Duohan to invite her, walked to the table and sat down unceremoniously, while the ugly man stood in front of her with his hands behind his back. behind.
Zhuo Duoerhan looked at the two of them and said, "I don't know what you call them, and how did you know about Wanyan Lei's transaction?"
The woman said: "My surname is Shi, you can call me Miss Shi. You don't need to ask more about the transaction, just tell me, do you want to do it or not?"
This masked woman is none other than Shi Qingzhu, a divine priest of the "Tianchu" organization, and the ugly man is suspected to be the "Golden-crested Sword Demon" Guo Huaishan, whose pseudonym is Ge Li.
After the assassination on Tianqiao Street in Beijing, a group of "Tianchu" assassins were also included in the government's wanted list. Gree's machete, which was thicker than the door panel, was too eye-catching, so he didn't bring it with him.
Zhuo Duoerhan said: "Only Wanyan Lei knows the details of that transaction. The leader of this banner was just ordered to assist him. Now that Wanyan Lei has been killed, I have the intention to do it, but I don't know the price that has been agreed upon. I still can’t get things done!”
Shi Qingzhu said: "I can tell you the price. It is three hundred thousand taels of silver. Wanyan Lei must have brought the silver notes into the customs. Since he lived here before he was killed, you only need to look through the money he brought with him. I can definitely find my luggage."
