Midnight has passed, and the winds of the summer night have not yet calmed. In the fire-lit village at the foot of the mountain, a riot is spreading, and small-scale fighting is suddenly appearing between several courtyards that originally belonged to the main residence of the big village. In a larger area, people were panicked and dazed, but on the side of the outer walled gate, there were already people who put away their packages and quietly went down the mountain.

After the news of Xiao Xiangma's death, especially the fact that he was killed by the Blood Bodhisattva, such a terrifying scene suddenly appeared in the cottage. Some people watched blankly, some fled uneasily, and some people began to seize the opportunity and fight hard. In such turmoil, a group of people and horses were going up the mountain road, and more than 200 people rushed back to the gate of the village from the front, spread outflanking, and rushed into all parts of the village.

This team, which was originally a guest in the cottage, intervened in the turmoil as the host in the night. Lou Shuwan walked in the crowd, pale but determined to watch his subordinates behead the small leaders who resisted in the cottage, and then put down the riot in the name of Tian Hu.

The bloody qi was weakening her body, but it was further strengthening her spirit. The birdcage that once housed canaries had been broken when the city of Hangzhou was broken, and she was still at a loss at that time. In the Lou family at that time, only her father and eldest brother were fully aware of this. Now she finally understands why Ning Yi rushed into the Lou family to kill his father and eldest brother, because in the hearts of that kind of person who is like a tiger, on the balance of victory and defeat, only they can be opponents and can cause trouble to him.

There is no doubt that she paid the price for it. After that, on the way to escape, under the command of the Tiger King. She was already able to understand this unreasonable hardness. Especially when her second brother Lou Shuheng has been completely knocked into the abyss and collapsed, she has no way out.

There is no other way but to move forward.

When the woman who has experienced the twists and turns of the world is making a cold effort in the bandit village in the foothills. In another valley above Luliang, the bonfire is gradually becoming warmer......

The horses formed a large group in the darkness a little farther away, and on this side of the spectrum, tents surrounded the campfire, forming a small camp. Around the campfire. The members of Takeki haven't slept yet. After experiencing this day's battle, while the feeling in their hearts has not dissipated, they need to make the first review and reflection on today's battle, so as to ensure that they will not make the mistakes they have made in the next battle. But. In the darkness of the night. There are always people who secretly set their eyes in a certain direction in the valley. A curious and gossipy look.

Half of the people in Zhuji's team came out of the Dulonggang camp, and they knew a little about the relationship between Ning Yi and Hongti. The rest were mostly curious. Just like Yuwen Feidu, the youngest in the team, he is a child taught by everyone in the Dulonggang camp, with talent, lively personality, and eighteen martial arts in mathematics, although he is only fifteen years old, he has already shown signs of mastery. At this time, during the discussion, he was glared at by one of his masters because he secretly asked in private.

But it is conceivable that the discussions and gossip in the secret of this night are indispensable......

Ning Yi took a bowl of broth, walked to the stone in front of the tent, handed it to the woman sitting on the ground, and then sat down next to him. Red grapes took a small sip from the bowl.

The tent was set up not far from the wooden house, and a bonfire was lit in front of the tent, and the light of the fire shone on the faces of the two men, and it was clearly extinguished.

"Two questions." Ning Yi looked at the red grapes who were wearing a black martial arts suit and a cloak, and laughed, "First of all, what's the matter with the Blood Bodhisattva?" Isn't the iron sword I took a good one? You're a woman, so you have such a nickname. ”

"Your bloody hands are slaughtered, isn't there that no one knows." Hearing Ning Yi ask, Hongti also laughed, and she paused with the small bowl in her hand, "I also want to call it Heshan Iron Sword, but the nickname is taken by others, so what can I do......"

The woman smiled and looked at the sky, as if she was thinking: "Lu Liang, my name is Hongti, and when I first started, I always wanted to help people." So they called me Bodhisattva, called Red Bodhisattva, but this name actually didn't scare people, and then the mountains beat around, and I also killed a lot of people, and the brothers in the mountains said that it was better to call the Red Bodhisattva than the Blood Bodhisattva...... This name has been called in the past two years, and I just want to change it, but I can't change it. You...... Just listen to it. ”

"Primitive totem worship ......," Ning Yi muttered softly.

"What?"

"Nothing." Ning Yi smiled, as far as he was concerned, although he didn't have a very detailed understanding of the situation in Luliang Mountain, he had heard about Hongti's previous situation in the cottage.

In her early years, she took over the cottage from her master, and she regarded it as the biggest responsibility on her shoulders. Hongti is not taboo about killing, but if you talk about the core of her character, she is actually weak, more to say, she is more like a woman who is suitable for her husband and children after marriage. It is also because of this that while she has superb martial arts, her companions in the village may not be in awe of her. Just like when she went to Jiangning to kill Song Xian, it was her responsibility as the owner of the village, but in fact, it was more like she was forced by the people in the village, until she rectified Qingmu Village under Ning Yi's teaching, and the people in the cottage still respected him and were in awe.

At that time, she was called "Red Bodhisattva", and she was really not wrong. It wasn't until later that she made trouble in the stockade with her iron heart, killed a group, and split a group, that the stockade began to really grow. After that, she kept a distance from her subordinates in the village more or less, and the strict rules made Qingmu Village what it is today, and she finally became a blood bodhisattva who shocked Lu Liang in the killing of the outside world. In all fairness, the more dangerous the place, the more barbaric the nickname, and the barbaric is far more useful than the civilized one.

However, in more than a year, from the title of "Red Bodhisattva" to the image of "Blood Bodhisattva", in a place that she doesn't know, how many things have happened to the Red Bodhisattva, Ning Yi can only imagine one or two, what she has experienced, if you want to empathize. But it's not possible.

Thinking of this, Ning Yi didn't want to mention it more. Changing the subject: "That...... The second question is, what is the matter with the competition to recruit relatives...... How can I beat you......"

Ning Yi asked about the competition to recruit relatives, and Hong Ti was about to answer, but when she heard Ning Yi's question in the second half of the sentence, she suddenly looked stunned, and her face turned red. After the Liangshan incident, the two sides had a period of intimacy, but it was a year ago, and they had just met at this time. She suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Ning Yi watched this scene with interest. After a long time, Hongti regained his usual expression and glanced at him.

"That was spread by someone else." Hongti said softly, "You have to come to Luliang." I told Grandpa Liang after I received the letter. Grandpa Liang may have done something in secret...... Something. Then I met some people entering the mountain. The main thing they wanted to do was to contact Qingmu Village, for the sake of the Zhao'an edict of Lord Tan in the capital, and many people in Luliang Mountain also knew about it. So they gathered in Aoki Village. When I was external, I don't know why it was rumored that I wanted to compete to recruit relatives, Grandpa Liang said, it doesn't matter, as long as everyone is willing to go to Aoki Village to discuss things, it proves our status, and the future business will be better, so as long as it is in the past, they will all be carefully received. But the matter of Zhao'an Zhao, I think Liheng will be more clear, so I want to wait until you come over to get an idea. ”

"Zhao'an Zhao ......" Speaking of this, Ning Yi's face turned stern, and he shook his head slightly contemptuously, "Tan Zhi took over the first fire of Tong Guan's privy envoy, this is the impact of Zhang Jue's death last year. The bosses of the capital also began to be afraid, so they had to consolidate the line of defense from Yanmen Pass to Taiyuan, and then from Taiyuan to the capital. Although Tong Guan has been promoted and involved in this matter, he still has to promote and participate, although what is said above is that he must be strict with discipline after Zhao'an. But it is Tan Zhi and Tong Guan's people who are responsible for recruiting An, and it is Tong Guan and Cai Jing's people who are responsible for supervising these inspectors, and those who are responsible for supervising these inspectors are those who speak official Yushi, most of them are also related to some big families in the north, and even if it doesn't matter...... The person at the top is a bit of a great achievement, so the Imperial Observatory is also a ...... at the moment Where you only shoot flies and don't shoot tigers, there's no point in counting on them......"

Ning Yi babbled about this, and Hongti didn't necessarily understand, but just listened carefully. Ning Yi naturally understood this, smiled, and said it as a joke: "You don't have to worry too much, since someone is coming, I also expected the attitude, is there anyone from the Zuo family and the Qi family in the north?" ”

Hongti thought for a moment: "I heard...... It seems that there is a big merchant with the surname Qi in the background, and then there are people from General Dong, and there are people from the border pass Wushengjun...... There have been a lot of people in the past few days, and the specific details are probably best known to Grandpa Liang. ”

"Then Tian Hu should have sent someone too, right?" Ning Yi asked this, and suddenly thought, "By the way, that little horse seems to be Tian Hu's person, he suddenly turned his brain out of his hand to me, what is the reason...... There's a chance to see if I don't kill him. ”

"But he's dead." Red Mention Road.

Ning Yi was stunned: "I remember...... He escaped, I saw. ”

Hongti leaned against the stone and laughed a little lazily: "You wrote to tell me that you would have arrived earlier, but you were late, and I was worried that something had happened to you, so I came out of the stockade." I've been waiting for you on the road for some time, and tonight I saw a fight, so I went to someone and asked the reason, and then went to kill Qiu Mengtang and a few of his henchmen before returning to the wooden house. ”

"Uh...... Yes? Hongti said it lightly, but Ning Yi couldn't help but be stunned, then laughed dumbly, and after calming down for a moment, he shook his head and smiled, and gently held her hand. The two sat side by side by the stone at this time, Hongti did not resist, but just looked at the firelight, and his eyes became more and more quiet.

"Whatever...... Zhao'an Zhao is not a big deal. After having a name, it is easier to do a lot of things, but it is difficult to be in charge of logistics. These people say that they are recruiting peace, and most of them are definitely not able to command, but when they have a name, they want military salaries and weapons. When making a budget this time, everyone has been scolding their mother for half a month, and the Prime Minister's side can deduct most of the use to the place where it should be used, but there will always be a small part that will be divided. However, most of the division is still up to the Prime Minister......"

The light flickered, and the red grapes just listened quietly.

"Now that you're here this time, you don't have to worry too much about negotiations and other things. I shouldn't be able to come forward officially, but ...... Whether it's the Zuo family, the Qi family, Dong Pang'er, what generals, tiger kings, since we want to talk about business, I'll peel them off one by one......"

Ning Yi said softly, and then talked to himself for a while, Hongti closed his eyes, beside him, and fell asleep quietly......

After a while, Ning Yi took a deep breath and looked at the sky, then at the sleeping woman beside him, and at the group of figures in the distance, who were probably full of curiosity...... Growing up in an environment like Luliang, a woman should be vigilant under any circumstances, and any noise may wake her up, but she slept so peacefully and peacefully in his voice......

"If we don't go with them tomorrow, let's go together...... Well, it was decided. ”

As he carried the woman back to the hut, he whispered that he had made his decision. (To be continued......)
