After leaving Zhending Mansion, the mountains gradually became rugged and the terrain became more and more barren. Although the mountains were still covered with green, the trees were not dense and there were more pine trees. Sometimes from a distance, the mountains seemed to be covered with only a layer of lichens. For Lou Shuwan, who was used to seeing the green fields in Jiangnan, this scenery made her feel cool and barbaric. Of course, since she defected to Tian Hu, she has never felt safe and down-to-earth in her heart. The tension in her heart is always the same as the illusion that she will be betrayed at any time, and it will be solved at any time.

"How long is it to go before Ji County?"

"It will take about half a day." When Lou Shuwan turned around and asked, the burly man next to him approached the horse and answered with a respectful expression. The man's surname is Qiu, and his name is Guyan, and he is a master under Tian Hu. Lou Shuwan showed his financial management and management skills. After gaining Tian Hu's trust, he transferred Qiu Guyan to serve as her as a guard and deputy. For several months, Qiu Guyan has a calm and quiet personality and has no disobedience to Lou Shuwan's orders. The two sides get along well with each other.

"Since it's not far away, I'll be waiting to Ji County first and arrange my accommodation and food. The third prince and General Yu will arrive at some point, so we'll have to stay for a few days."

"Yes." Lou Shuwan gave the order, and Qiu Guyan immediately sent someone. Looking back, there was a team of more than 100 people walking at the foot of the mountain, carrying several trucks of goods all the way forward. These people were elite soldiers under Tian Hu. As the leader, Lou Shuwan was riding on a horse in a gray-yellow cloak. Although it was not easy for her to stand in the Tian Hu army as a woman, she was in charge of part of the wealth and power at this time. If she wanted to ride a big car more comfortably, others would not say anything. However, since the gradual stability of the Tian Hu army, she had gradually given up the habit of riding a car and fishing for the door. She must ride a horse no matter where she was far and near, and at the same time, she also brought a dagger day and night at the easiest place on her waist.

She has no martial arts skills, and even if her own strength is exercised, she is not as good as an ordinary man. She brings a dagger and does not hurt people, but she can use self-kill when necessary - whether she dares to do something when things are about to come, but this is indeed her original intention of bringing a dagger. When she occasionally makes a decision, she will feel that she has more power out of thin air.

In fact, that is of course an illusion. What really protects her from being bullied in Tian Hu’s army is the influence of Jin King Tian Hu himself.

When she was just trapped in Tian Hu's army, she and Lou Shuheng, who had fled all the way, had already ended. As a man, Lou Shuheng herself had collapsed, but she gritted her teeth and seized an opportunity to appear in front of Tian Hu, and gave some ideas for the other party with self-recommendation. Tian Hu was originally a hunter, but later she occupied a large territory. She had abilities, but her knowledge was limited. After the bandits occupied the land, talents were scarce in the transformation from occupying the land to managing. Lou Shuwan was therefore valued, which was a similar situation to the Lou family being valued by Fang La in Hangzhou City.

While having the ability, she is beautiful and is a lady of a lady from a wealthy family. Her upbringing and knowledge are not comparable to those of local locals. Tian Hu originally had the idea of ​​taking her into the harem, which was the most reassuring. However, Lou Shuwan refused several times and had a firm attitude. Tian Hu was open-minded to show that she was open-minded, and she was not willing to lose a talent to help with things. She did not use her strength. In fact, Tian Hu didn't understand. If she really couldn't avoid it in Lou Shuwan's heart, she would have to give up half of it. After experiencing those things, she felt that they were ugly, but this disgust was not as good as protecting chastity with her life. After all, she had lost the so-called chastity, both physically and psychologically.

Tian Hu did not use her strength, and then Lou Shuwan received many conveniences in Tian Hu's army. Sometimes she used the tiger's skin to make a big banner and put on the identity of "Tian Hu's mistress" to suggest that other men who were interested in her also restrained themselves. Therefore, over the past year, her life in Tian Hu's army was basically smooth. Apart from the second brother who spent all day in brothels and was confused, what she really cared about was the various things that the Tiger King explained to her.

After staying away from men, she suddenly realized that women's feelings of doing things were also very good. Although people often look at her with the look of stripping her clothes, she didn't care. So what if she stripped her naked, she thrust her like she was dead, and then her eyes turned white and she was poor people dominated by her lower body. Just like those who were killed after doing those things on her, she looked like that... After they vented, she found a dagger and killed them all. For the sake of the moment when her eyes turned white, she had no life. Men were stupid pigs. Did she really lose anything... She would think like this occasionally, and then she couldn't help laughing until she burst into tears.

Only when she occasionally dreams of midnight, she will think of a figure, like a nightmare - the figure named Ning Liheng. Even if she had a certain obsession with him, it was not very deep. However, everything that happened later left too many marks in her memory. The death of her father and brother, the destruction of her family, and the miserable displaced all the way were caused by that figure. When she thought of him, it was difficult for her to think of revenge at the first time.

She knew that he had destroyed Liangshan, but she didn't know what he was doing now, so she had no idea of ​​revenge. She stayed under Tian Hu's command and kept working upwards. Maybe one day she would face him head-on, but even if she thought about it like this, she would never think of what she would look like at that time. Only some bizarre imaginations that Lu Li could not speak to others would appear clear. She remembered those tragic experiences, the way the man was sucking her in her body, and then she could kill him, the power of success in front of him, and the humiliation of him after failure - every time, the imagination became more and more bizarre. When she woke up, it was often early in the morning, sweating all over her body, and the quilt was soaked, and her lower body was soft like a slumber. Then she could only lie on her side until dawn.

.[,!] Maybe one day, she will kill him, or he will kill her. This should be the only belonging of the two.

Of course, this time I went to Luliang Mountain, there was no such complex emotions involved.

Regarding the Luliang area, Tian Hu was determined to extend his power at the beginning of the uprising. That place was neither as good as the Central Plains nor Hebei. The land located on the border line has been scattered and has many scattered forces. It is difficult to apply the general green forest rules here. After all, rules are so that everyone does not die together under the command of the **, but on this land, most of those who survive are destiny. Whether they abide by the rules or not, they may die at any time. The meaning of rules is not great.

The reason for this phenomenon is complicated. But the most direct reason is that the grass-drawn valley on both sides. The Liao people regard the people in this area as pigs and dogs, and the military people regard the residents here as savages and unruly people who cannot rule. Occasionally, some larger forces will arise here, but these forces mostly hate both sides, are relatively closed, and then easily dispersed. Because no matter how powerful your power is, it is not as good as the army on both sides. After Tian Hu's tentacles came over, he also spent some effort to win over a large number of companions here, but his power is very large for a single parish, but it is really hard to say where to use force for Luliang, a place that was originally fragmented and fragmented like sand. Therefore, there has never been much progress.

Of course, extending the power to the northwest of Luliang has always been a icing on the cake for Tian Hu. Even if the progress is not big, it doesn’t matter. However, in the past year, the situation in Luliang Mountain has changed a lot compared to before, which makes Tian Hu unable to help but focus on it.

A village named Qingmuzhai has been growing and growing in Luliang in the past two years, and even found ways to open up the smuggling trade routes on both sides and gained huge benefits. This is really coveted. At the beginning of Qingmuzhai's development, Cao Hong, under Tian Hu, noticed this. He incited Qingmuzhai to split and tried to take the opportunity to seize Qingmuzhai, but later he was killed by the female leader with high martial arts skills.

This kind of thing was enough to make both sides arguing, but Tian Hu felt that it was quite troublesome to take revenge in Luliang for such things. He was a relatively bachelor person. Everyone came out to make trouble, and they had to admit their mistakes. He was beaten to stand at attention. The generals on his side went over to incite the rebellion, but were not successfully killed, so he had to swallow the matter. However, after so long after this, the development of Luliang Mountain was still expanding, and he had already changed from a fragrant bun to a pot of fragrant buns. He couldn't help but start thinking about it again.

It is said that the female leader of Qingmu Village, who is very skilled in martial arts, is old and has not gotten married in his twenties, so he will marry. This marriage is different from before. The bargaining chip Tian Hu is prepared to be Tian Shi, who is known as the third prince in the army. Tian Hu's family has three brothers, namely Tian Hu, Tian Bao, and Tian Biao. Tian Shi is the son of Tian Biao. He has good martial arts skills and looks good, and is a handsome person. Once a marriage is married, both parties will be a family. Moreover, Tian Hu is full of sincerity. Tian Shi did not marry in the past. As long as the other party nods, Tian Shi is married to Qingmu Village, and he will never let the other party marry.

In addition, everyone has studied the model of making a fortune in Qingmuzhai. Generally speaking, once the power of Luliang Mountain is formed, it is often bitter and deeply revenge, extremely xenophobic, so it is not pleasing to any aspect. However, after Qingmuzhai developed, it is very good. The nearby Wu Dynasty military often receives dividends from the other party, and there are many sweet things. For some greedy guys, Qingmuzhai also has a coalition, division and attack, and even has a clear understanding of the details of many military generals, so that they can gradually gain a foothold.

Although such a village leader is a woman, he obviously has a strong control over interests. Simply giving away a man may not be able to satisfy the other party. Therefore, outside of Tian Shi, Lou Shuwan was the lobbyist in the past. Both sides are capable women, so it should be easier to speak in this regard.

Now that the situation is chaotic and difficult to settle, the court is busy recruiting various bandit forces in the north. It is obvious that the Wu Dynasty's control over the internal situation has reached its limit. With the strength of the Tiger King, once he joins forces with Qingmuzhai, he will definitely be able to make a great cause in the future with such a way of wealth from the north and the south.

Lou Shuwan had prepared this kind of rhetoric before and was constantly improving it in the past few days. Of course, everything is subject to seeing the village leader named Lu Hongti.

That night, she and the convoy carrying the betrothal gift stopped in Ji County ahead, waiting for the arrival of the third prince Tian Shi and the general Yu Yulin under Tian Hu. Although the middle and senior officials of Tian Hu's army made a decision, Tian Shi himself was also arrogant and was not very willing to marry into a marriage. He basically ran away from home to investigate the situation of Lu Hongti. As for Yu Yulin, it was Tian Hu who sent him to capture him and wanted to suppress him to Luliang to marry him.

At this time, the place was close to Luliang, and Ji County was a big county. Although everything seemed desolate in the eyes of people like Lou Shuwan, there were indeed many people. This was a diversion point to the north. After this period, people had to choose to go out of Yanmen Pass normally or smuggle out to Luliang Mountain. Before the smuggling channel in Luliang flourished, Ji County was probably half the size of today. In other words, its prosperity suddenly expanded in the past one or two years.

Because of this reason, everything in the county is still full of barbaric atmosphere. Pedestrians and pedestrians are all full of swords. It seems that no one is a good person. Even the merchants who pass by have murderous aura and bloody smell. The emergence of smuggling roads has prospered goods, but the safety guarantee has not been improved much. If some people take the liberty, they will most likely not find a way to pass without specific channels. The most prosperous places are often brothels and knife shops, with a stream of momentum.

He has his own settlements. [,!], only military men dare to walk sideways in various places. But they basically won’t touch local forces. The power of the government is extremely small - because there are not many people who dare to come here to take office. A few years ago, some constables were even killed and hung on the flagpole. The forces here all have the same characteristics, high-profile, ostentatious, and crazy, and then they rise in batches, plunder the surroundings, eat deliciously and drink spicyly, and then calm down in batches...

On the fifth day of Lou Shuwan's stay in Ji County, Tian Shi and Yu Yulin came here with more than 200 soldiers. During this period, Lou Shuwan had also learned a lot about the female leader of Qingmu Village. It is said that she is very skilled in martial arts and has reached the level of a master. She now has a very high control over the village. It is impossible to sow discord and split the village for the time being. In addition, it is said that she is very beautiful, so there are many people who have proposed marriages to Qingmu Village recently, and there are even vague reports that the other party has a martial arts competition to recruit marriages. There are many rumors outside, but they just don't know whether it is true or false.

In Tian Hu's army, there were people who had seen Lu Hongti, but this time Lou Shuwan couldn't find anyone. Tian Shi's route was different. He obviously asked someone familiar. After learning that Lu Hongti was very skilled and beautiful, he became interested. He was twenty-five years old this year, with good martial arts and handsomeness. He was tired of playing with ordinary women. Tian Hu occupied a lot of the ladies who cried and cried. He seemed to have the idea of ​​conquering Lu Hongti - after all, men in this world. Although he was in the name of marriage, he might not be able to conquer her with his own abilities. Once he went to bed, no matter how strong a woman was, she would still obey him...

That night, the two groups of people met and met each other. Yu Yulin, as a general who was relied on by Tian Hu, was also a very heroic man. He was in his thirties, with a strong martial arts and a calm personality. If the other party looked at Tian Zhen, he might have been determined. This was not the first time Lou Shuwan and they met. The next day after the meeting, everyone set off, and more than 300 people marched towards the direction of Luliang Mountain.

On the other hand, after Lou Shuwan and others left, Ning Yi's convoy of more than 100 people also approached Ji County.

"After passing the front, the officials will be useless." At dusk, the convoy set up camp. Zhu Biao pointed to the foothills in the north and turned to Ning Yi and others and said, "Luliang is more chaotic than our Dulonggang. Those who can speak are either the army or are bandits. The people are not without power, but if they have no power, they cannot plant the land. If they pass, they must be careful. People cannot be alone. People here are cruel and ruthless."

"… Although it is not good to say this, it is better to deal with warriors here than to deal with literati." Ning Yi stood on the stone, covering his eyebrows and looking forward, "The literati often speaks ambiguously, and he cheats you after collecting money, and he turns his head and refuses to admit it. Warriors are much better. Although they are greedy, they do things when they collect money. They are very bachelors. I still like it more." After he said that, he sighed: "However, it looks a little desolate... Shanxi..."

"I always feel... it's not easy for Senior Lu's family to be here."

Zhu Biao sighed so much that several warriors in charge of the team around him also showed similar expressions. Half of the warriors who followed Ning Yi this time were from Liangshan people, and they were trained in the camp in Dulonggang. When Lu Hongti was still there, he had fought with them in the camp and beat them. At this time, most of them had repented and their mentality changed drastically. In addition, Lu Hongti's identity as a master, he admired her quite much. He felt honored by her lesson, and regarded him as half a proprietress and half a master. However, Ning Yi curled his lips and sneered at everyone's sympathy.

"What's so difficult? Although it sounds like a rumor, even rumors of martial arts competitions and brides have come out. When I pass, I have to criticize her."

As the sun sets, although he said this, when he thinks of Lu Hongti's appearance, he still feels warm like the sunshine shining on his face. If he really goes to say something about her, would she still sit by the bed like a young wife and let herself say it? Thinking about it for a moment, he is as calm as him, and he can't help but look forward to it. And as he said, the army collected money and did things - as long as it was not fighting with the Liao people - was basically dedicated. Now that the Liao Kingdom has been destroyed, the next Luliang Mountain will have a rare opportunity to rest for several years, and in how long can it develop in a few years... Everything is ahead.
