Chapter 1567 Black Tiger Mountain (Additional update for the leader of the alliance under the parasol trees)


    ??Black Tiger Mountain.


    It is just one of the ten miles of mountains.


    The long mountain of ten miles is called Shili. However, in the Chinese system, the numerals are mostly imaginary numbers. There may not be zero or a whole ten miles, but it is still long enough. There are mountains and rivers, lakes and lakes. The mountains are Wuzhou Mountain and Lion Head Mountain. , Black Tiger Mountain, Jilong Mountain, Ma''an Mountain, Dantu Mountain, Dustpan Mountain, etc., and the waters include Guyang Lake, Changshanze, Baolian Lake, Jinpen Bay, etc. Although the mountains are not high and the water is not deep, they are It is an excellent habitat for birds and animals, and is naturally an excellent place for the nobles to relax, play and hunt.


    ?The night wind was blowing, and the roar of some wild beasts was faintly heard in the mountains, which echoed among the rocks and forests, which seemed quite thrilling. The stars in the sky were dim, and it seemed as if there was a thin veil covering the sky and the earth, which made people feel very dull.


    In a cave sheltered from the wind in the mountain col, there was a faint light of fire coming out.


    Five or six strong men were sitting in the cave guarding a bonfire.


    ?Humfires can keep out the cold and drive away wild animals.


    ?However, after staying in the mountains for many days, these strong men gradually became no different from wild beasts.


    With a "click", a strong man sitting next to the campfire broke a branch. The three-finger-thick branch was easily divided into two sections like a thin chopstick. The strong man poked it into the bonfire and stuffed it into the bonfire so that the bonfire could burn longer.


    The firelight flickered, reflecting the bright and dark faces of the strong man beside the campfire, and the shadow behind the man leaning against the inner wall of the cave with his eyes closed also swayed, like a swaying poisonous snake.


    “How many more days…?”


    Someone seemed to be whispering, like a cold wind blowing from the cracks in the rocks.


    “It’s almost...it will be almost done tomorrow...”


    The other person responded in a low voice.


    The person who spoke before closed his eyes, and then opened them quickly, with a bit of anger, and more of an impatience, "That''s what you said the f**king day before yesterday!"


    “I also want to come early, what can I do if I don’t come?”


    “Could it be...”


    "Shut up!"


    “Just shut the **** up!”


    ??Several people in the cave were actually a little anxious. They all started making noises after being seduced, waving their arms, and even the shadows behind them swayed around, like several poisonous snakes preparing to bite each other.


    “Crack!”


    A branch was smashed against the inner wall of the cave, making a huge noise. The few people who were arguing subconsciously closed their mouths, turned their heads and looked inward, only to see a strong man who had been lying on the inside slowly sitting up, his eyes flashing in the shadows like lightning, sweeping across. However, everyone''s hearts couldn''t help but jump.


    "Are you all so anxious to die?" Under the mountain wall, although the strong man was sitting, his body was as tall as a rock, and his muscles were stretched out, giving people a strong sense of oppression.


    “No…no, with the leader…this…”


    “How can it be possible...the leader loves to joke...”


    The muscles on Chief He''s face twitched: "I never joke!" Chief He, whose surname is He, no one knows his specific name. He was originally a subordinate of Yan Baihu, and he was also a fierce bandit. Because he was extremely dark and ferocious, he was called He Black Tiger, but on the surface, everyone still called him He Leader.


    When everyone heard this, they immediately closed their mouths and shrank their heads like quails.


    "It was also so cold that year..." Leader He raised his head slightly, narrowed his eyes and said, "I don''t like the Xu family, and I don''t hate the Sun family... It''s just that that year, the young and old in the mountains had all their food and grass... Only Mr. Xu sent three carts of grain and survived the whole winter without anyone dying... Huzi, do you still remember?"


    Another person on the side said angrily: "I remember."


    He nodded with the leader and said with a cracked mouth, "Just remember! I am a gangster, but I also uphold morality! This time, I want to repay Xu''s favor! I hate owing favors the most!"


    The scar-faced man on the side smiled and said: "Yes, yes, He Yibo Yuntian, the leader, what is this..."


    "Shut up!" Leader He said unceremoniously, "Don''t **** treat me like a fool! You Scar Erlang, do you think I don''t know that you are clinging to Xiapi Chen? Ah? You think you are clinging to Xiapi Chen Chen, how dare you tremble in front of me?"


    The face of the scar-faced man changed. He glanced around with his little eyes, secretly pinched the handle of his subordinate''s knife, and said in a cold voice: "He and the leader, I also acted under orders...I definitely didn''t mean to target you..."


    Another man sneered, "I don''t know if you have a scar on your face. What you said is true or false..."


    The scar on the scarred man''s face seemed to be congested with blood, beating in the firelight, like a red centipede, ready to jump out at any time. He pointed angrily and said: "Black-horned man! Stop being so **** provocative! I You didn’t say anything bad about you, but you still dare to tease me! Do you think I didn’t see the people sent to Yanzhou? You still have the shame to tease me!”


    ??The black-horned man''s expression changed, he picked up the knife beside him and stared at the scar-faced man. "What, you just need to find a backer, but I''m not allowed to go?"


    The atmosphere in the cave suddenly became tense.


    “I don’t care who you want to find!” Leader He turned to Black Horn and shouted, “Put away the knife! What’s going on, you want to show your teeth on my territory?”


    Heijiao''s cheek muscles twitched twice, and he put on a smiling face, "How can I, haha, everyone has to eat properly..."


    "One last time! I don''t care about what happened to you two!" He and the leader interrupted Heijiao, "But this time it''s about hunting tigers! If you guys still do this, you should break up as soon as possible!" "


    Scarface rolled his eyes a few times and said repeatedly: "Of course this is arranged by the leader. Anyone who dares to disobey the order, let alone the leader, will be in trouble with me!" After speaking, he glared at Heijiao.


    Heijiao also glared at Scarface, turned to Leader He and said, "Of course I listen to Leader He on everything here."


    He and the leader were not polite, nodded, and then said to the man sitting next to the campfire: "Xiaosi, when will the things be delivered?"


    “The appointment is for tomorrow...” Xiao Si replied.


    "Then it''s almost a matter of the day after tomorrow..." Leader He nodded, looked around, and then said, "Actually, it''s very simple to kill the tiger... Someone will send five six-stone crossbows tomorrow. You just need to make the tiger fall. Or maybe it just needs to stay for a moment..."


    Scarface and Heijiao looked at each other, some subtle thoughts could not help but arise in their minds, and then turned away almost at the same time, not looking at each other. Generally speaking, civilians only have bows and no crossbows, especially the six-stone crossbows, which only appear in the military. But in this Jiangdong area, six strong crossbows can be sent, and they can be sent in advance before the tigers arrive, and they will Who is it?


    "Understood?" He looked around with the leader, "If you understand, rest early! Do whatever you have to do after killing the tiger, and don''t hang around in front of me!"


    After saying that, he and the leader ignored the other people, turned over and lay down again, leaving a few people staring at each other in the cave, but no one continued to say anything... Outside the cave, the cold wind howled, and Like a sad lament.


    …………………


    ?Winter is already deep, and even Jiangdong has received a heavy snowfall, painting Jianye City in pure white.


    ??In normal times, in a snow scene like this, some nobles would naturally come out to hang out in their free time, chant poems and enjoy the snow, but today, there was no one.


    The soldiers who came and went with orders and the servants who communicated with the nobles trampled the snow on the streets of Jianye City to a pulp, as if a dirty ditch had been overturned on the streets.


    ??Except for some heartless children playing happily in the snow in the alley, the reason why almost no one is interested in the snowy scene is because Sun Ce was assassinated...


    ??In Jianye City, whether it was a large restaurant or a small villa, some gentry children were sitting together, exchanging glances with each other, and chatting in low voices...


    "I heard that it was someone from the Xu family who did it... It wasn''t like that before... Then there were loyal people..."


    “Oh? This is the way of heaven…”


    "But why did I hear that it was made by Zheng Xixia... There is a six-stone crossbow... It is made by Jingxiang..."


    “Zhengxi and whatnot, there were no grudges in the past and no grudges in recent times, how could he come all the way here to attack? It’s probably a lie… He should still be from the Xu family…”


    "How long has it been going on for the Xu family? If you want to take revenge, you have already taken revenge. How could you wait until this time..."


    “Then who do you say it is?”


    “No matter who he is...this tiger has fallen, it’s time to calm down...”


    "Ha, that''s true... When the tiger comes, the price of cattle and sheep doubles! So does the wine! Alas, it''s really a hardship for the people..."


    “Who says it’s not?”


    "You said that we, the humble people, don''t just want to live in peace and quiet? Who can bear this torment?"


    “Yes, yes, the world is simply in decline...”


    Regardless of what these Jiangdong nobles said, the situation in the Sun family''s mansion was filled with gloom and gloom.


    “How is the eldest brother injured?!” Sun Quan eagerly grabbed the steward who came out of the inner courtyard, “What happened?”


    ?The steward looked mournful and said nothing.


    "Hi!" Sun Quan shook off the steward and stood on tiptoes to look into the inner courtyard. However, the courtyard wall was blocked and nothing could be seen except the soldiers stationed outside the courtyard gate.


    “The master of the family has his own destiny, so it’s okay...” Sun Lang looked at the side with a bad expression. He didn’t know whether it was because he was worried about Sun Ce or because of Sun Quan’s eager “brother” before...


    ?Sun Lang is older than Sun Ce, just because Sun Ce is the eldest son, while Sun Lang is just a concubine.


    ?Sun Quan didn''t say anything and didn''t even move his head. I don''t know if he was too concerned about Sun Ce and didn''t hear him, or he didn''t want to pay attention to Sun Lang at all.


    ?Sun Lang''s eyes flashed fiercely, and then disappeared immediately, still looking sad. "Well, at the critical moment, outsiders are not trustworthy, and it is better to be a brother... The head of the family is in love with that Zhou Gongjin every day, and they are very favored. But at this critical moment, where is this Zhou Gongjin? This is really…”


    "Shut up!" Sun Quan said angrily, "Just mind yourself!"


    ?Sun Lang was stunned for a moment and did not continue to say anything. He lowered his head and hid his face in the shadows.


    In the inner courtyard, Mrs. Wu sat in front of Sun Ce''s couch, her heart feeling like a knife.


    ??Although the relationship between Mrs. Wu and Sun Ce is not very harmonious, after all, it is the flesh that fell from her body. Seeing Sun Ce''s appearance, all the old unhappiness has long been thrown away, and only Sun Ce''s kindness remains.


    "My son, do you know who did it?!" Mrs. Wu held back her grief, the flesh on her cheeks jumped and looked a bit ferocious, "I will definitely destroy the nine tribes and crush their bones into ashes!"


    "They look like people from the Xu...Xu family..." Sun Ce''s face turned pale, and he was lying on the couch, with bandages wrapped around his chest and one leg. The smell of blood was mixed with the smell of gold sore medicine, and the smell was very strong. Although protected by armor, the power of the six-stone crossbow should not be underestimated. Not to mention the arrow on the leg, the arrow on the chest, although it was deflected from the heart, did not penetrate under the barrier of the armor. But the blood hole that was opened is still a very serious injury, and the bleeding has barely stopped until now...


    “Xu?” Mrs. Wu frowned. The Xu family had their homes confiscated and their entire clan exterminated before. Is it possible that they would be dug up from the grave again and their bones shattered into ashes?


    ?Sun Ce was injured in the chest and lost a lot of blood, so it was difficult to breathe. "...Listen...they are shouting, they are shouting..."


    "Did the assassin shout it himself?" Mrs. Wu still frowned, "Son, my mother knows... Okay, you can rest in peace and recuperate. My mother is here for the things outside, so don''t worry..."


    ?Sun Ce nodded with difficulty.


    Mrs. Wu stood up and prepared to walk out.


    Seeing this, Da Qiao quickly got up from the ground and was about to send Mrs. Wu off. But for some reason, he suddenly felt like the world was spinning. Then he couldn''t help feeling sick. He immediately lay on the ground and retched, with snot and tears flowing out randomly on his little face. …


    Mrs. Wu suddenly looked angry and glared at Da Qiao fiercely. Just as she was about to get angry, she suddenly thought of something and quickly asked someone to help Da Qiao to the ear room, and then called the doctor on the side to diagnose.


    Just like most mother-in-laws and daughters-in-law who have conflicts, Mrs. Wu doesn’t like Da Qiao either.


    The reason is very simple. Da Qiao is worthless. He has no husband''s family and nothing that can give Sun Ce any bonus. Although Sun Ce said that he just likes Da Qiao, others just won''t marry him. What''s the matter with his heart? Unfortunately, Mrs. Wu thinks Da Qiao The value of Qiao is just a plaything and does not require Sun Ce to invest too much emotion.


    Mrs. Wu hopes that the wife Sun Ce can marry should be the kind of wife whose husband''s family is strong and can complement each other. It is best to choose a beautiful woman from the Wu family...


    ?Although Sun Ce made up his own mind in the end, it also caused Mrs. Wu to have a bad attitude toward Da Qiao.


    "Mrs. Qi Zhen... this..." The doctor looked at Mrs. Wu and then at Sun Ce''s door. His face looked like he had been holding it in for more than ten days. He didn''t know whether to show sadness or joy. He looked like, "Well... Young Madam, we are happy... But Young Madam is weak... Well, we still have to be careful not to have fetal contractions..."


    ??Mrs. Wu frowned, with a complicated and unclear look in her eyes, "I don''t bother you about that matter... Could you please prescribe some anti-fetal medicine..."


    “It should be, it should be...” The doctor retreated.


    Mrs. Wu looked up at the sky and was silent for a long time. Finally, she sighed softly, and Ding Ling''s words drifted in the cold wind, "Husband, Ce''er has a daughter-in-law..."
