  Chapter 1567 Black Tiger Mountain

  Black Tiger Mountain.

   is just one of the ten mile long mountains.

The ten-mile long mountain is called Shili, but in the Huaxia system, the numerals are mostly imaginary numbers, and there may not be a whole number of ten miles, but it is long enough. There are mountains and rivers, lakes and lakes. The mountains are Wuzhou Mountain and Lion Head Mountain. , Heihu Mountain, Jilong Mountain, Ma'an Mountain, Dantu Mountain, Dupan Mountain, etc. The water has Guyang Lake, Changshanze, Baolian Lake, Jinpen Bay, etc. Although the mountains are not high and the water is not deep, it is It is an excellent habitat for birds and animals, and naturally it is also an excellent place for the children of the gentry to relax, play and hunt.

  The night wind was blowing, and some wild beasts could be heard faintly in the mountains, and the reverberation among the rocks and forests seemed quite thrilling. The stars in the sky are dim, and it seems that there is a layer of tulle covering the sky and the earth, which makes people feel very dull.

  In a cave in a mountain sheltered from the wind, some faint fire came out.

  Five or six strong men guarded a bonfire and sat in the cave.

  The bonfire 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 beasts.

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

  The flame flickered, reflecting the face of the strong man next to the campfire flickering, and even the shadow behind the man leaning on the inner wall of the cave with his eyes closed and resting his mind 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... Tomorrow will be almost..."

  Another person replied in a low voice.

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

   "I also want to go early, what can I do if I don't come?"

   "Could it be..."

"Shut up!"

   "You **** shut up!"

   Several people in the cave were actually a little anxious. After being seduced, they immediately became noisy, waving their arms, and even the shadows behind them swayed for a while, like a few poisonous snakes preparing to bite each other.

"Snapped!"

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

   "Are you all in such a hurry to die?" Under the mountain wall, although the strong man was sitting, he was burly, like a mountain rock, with muscles stretched out, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

   "No...not, with the leader...this..."

   "How can it be... The leader loves to joke..."

  The muscles on the leader's face twitched: "I never joke!" No one knew the leader's surname and name. He was originally Yan Baihu's subordinate, and also a thug, because he was extremely dark and extremely ferocious, so he was called Heihu, but on the surface, everyone still called him Heihu.

  Everyone shut their mouths immediately when they heard the words, shrinking their heads like quails.

"That year, it was also so cold..." The leader raised his head slightly, squinted his eyes and said, "I don't like Mrs. Xu, and I don't hate Mrs. Sun... It's just that in that year, everyone in the mountains ran out of food and grass... just Only Mrs. Xu sent three carts of grain, survived the winter, and no one died...Huzi, do you remember?"

  Another person on the side said in a low voice: "I remember."

  He nodded with the leader, his mouth parted, "Just remember it! I'm a bandit, but I'm also moral! This time, I'm paying back Xu's love! I hate being in debt the most!"

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

"Shut up!" The leader said bluntly, "Don't **** treat me as a fool! You Ba Erlang, do you think I don't know that you have climbed onto Xiapichen? Huh? You think you have climbed onto Xiapichen Chen, why the **** is he shivering in front of me?"

  The scar-faced man's expression changed, his small eyeballs first glanced left and right, secretly pinched the handle of the knife under his hand, and said in a cold voice: "And the leader, a certain is also following orders...I definitely didn't intend to target you..."

  Another man sneered, "The ghost knows if you have a scar on your face, whether what you said is true or not..."

The scar on the face of the scar-faced man seemed to be congested with blood, jumping in the firelight, like a red centipede, ready to jump out at any time, and pointed angrily: "Black-horned headman! Don't you **** provoke! Lao Tzu Didn't tell you about your shit, how dare you **** dare to talk to me! Do you think I didn't see the person sent to Yanzhou? You still have the guts to talk!"

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

  The atmosphere in the cave suddenly became tense.

   "I don't care who you want to find!" He turned to the leader and shouted at the black corner, "Put away the knife! What's the matter, you want to show your teeth on Laozi's territory?"

  Blackhorn's cheek muscles twitched twice, and he put on a smiling face, "How can it be, haha, everyone wants to have a meal..."

"Say it again for the last time! I don't care about the **** about you two!" and the leader interrupted Black Horn's words, "But this time it's about hunting tigers! If you **** do it like that, you should break up as soon as possible! "

   Scarface rolled his eyeballs a few times, and said repeatedly: "This is naturally to be arranged with the leader. Whoever dares to violate the order, let alone the leader, is to make things difficult for me!"

  Heijiao also stared at Scarface, then turned to the leader and said, "Of course I listen to everything here."

   and the leader were not polite, nodded, and then said to the man sitting by the campfire: "Xiao Si, when will the things be delivered?"

   "The appointment is tomorrow..." Xiaosi replied.

"That's almost the day after tomorrow..." He nodded his head, looked around, and then said, "Actually, it's very simple to kill the tiger... Tomorrow someone will send five six-stone crossbows, you just need to let the tiger fall, Or just need to stay for a moment and become..."

  Scarface and Heijiao looked at each other, and some subtle thoughts could not help but float up in their hearts, and then they turned away almost at the same time, not looking at each other. Generally, the folks only have bows and no crossbows, especially the six-stone crossbow, which only appears in the army, but in this Jiangdong area, six crossbows can be sent, and they can be delivered in advance before the tiger arrives, and they will who is it?

   "Understood?" and the leader looked around, "If you understand, rest early! What should you do after killing the tiger, and don't hang around in front of me!"

   After finishing speaking, the leader and the leader ignored the others, turned over and lay down again, leaving a few people staring at each other in the cave, but they didn't continue to say anything...

  Outside the cave, the cold wind howled, like a mournful lament.

  ………………

  Winter is deep, and even Jiangdong has a heavy snowfall, whitewashing Jianye City.

  In normal times, with snow scenes like this, there would naturally be some gentry children who would come out to wander around, recite poems and enjoy the snow, but today, there was none.

  The messengers who shuttled back and forth and the servants who reported and communicated between the gentry trampled the snow on the streets of Jianye City, as if a dirty ditch had been overturned on the street.

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

  In Jianye City, whether it’s a big restaurant or a small courtyard, there are some gentry children sitting together, eyeing each other, and talking in a low voice...

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

   "Oh? It's a sign of heaven..."

   "But how did I hear that it was Zheng Xixia's hand...the six-stone crossbow...is the craftsmanship of Jingxiang's side..."

   "Zhengxi and that thing, no grudges in the past and no grudges in the present, how could it be possible to come all the way here to do it, most of it is fake... it should be from the Xu family..."

   "It's been a long time since the Xu family. If you want to take revenge, you have already reported it. How could you wait until this time..."

   "Then who do you say?"

   "Whoever he is... This tiger has fallen, it should stop..."

   "Ha, that's true... When the tiger came, the price of cattle and sheep doubled! Drinks too! Oh, it's really hard for the people..."

   "Who said it wasn't?"

   "You said that us small people, don't we just want a peaceful life, this toss, that toss, who can bear it?"

   "Yeah, yeah, it's simply a decline in the world..."

   Regardless of what these Jiangdong gentry talked about, in the Sun's mansion, it was a gloomy cloud.

   "How is the injury, brother?!" Sun Quan eagerly grabbed the steward who came out of the inner courtyard, "What's the matter?"

  The steward looked mournful and said nothing.

   "Hi!" Sun Quan shook off the steward and tiptoed to look into the inner courtyard, but the courtyard wall was cut off, and nothing could be seen except the soldiers stationed outside the courtyard gate.

   "The head of the family is auspicious, so it should be fine..." Sun Lang stood aside, his face was very bad, and he didn't know if it was because he was worried about Sun Ce, or because of Sun Quan's eager "big 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 talk to him, and he didn't even move his head. I don't know if he was too concerned about Sun Ce not hearing, or he didn't want to pay attention to Sun Lang at all.

  In Sun Lang's eyes, a fierce light flashed, and then disappeared immediately, still looking sad. "Well, at critical times, outsiders are unreliable, so it's better to be your own brother... Patriarch and that Zhou Gongjin are in pairs every day, and the favor is added, but look at this critical moment, where is this Zhou Gongjin? It's really..."

   "Shut up!" Sun Quan said angrily, "Just take care of yourself!"

  Sun Lang was taken aback for a moment, but didn't 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 pierced 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, the old unhappiness has long been forgotten, and only Sun Ce is left.

   "My son, do you know who did it?!" Mrs. Wu suppressed her grief, the flesh on the side of her cheeks twitched, looking a little ferocious, "I will definitely destroy the nine clans, and blow my bones to ashes!"

   "Like people from the Xu family..." Sun Ce's face was pale, and he was lying on the couch with bandages wrapped around his chest and one leg. The smell of blood mixed with the smell of gold sore medicine was very strong. Although protected by battle armor, the power of the six-stone crossbow should not be underestimated. Not to mention the arrow on the leg, the shot on the chest, even though it deviated 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. Xu's family was ransacked and exterminated before. Could it be possible to dig it out of the grave again, and it will really be a blow to the ashes?

  Sun Ce suffered a chest injury and lost a lot of blood, so it was difficult to breathe, "...Listen...they shouted..."

   "The assassin called it himself?" Mrs. Wu still frowned, "Son, my mother knows... that's all right, you can rest at ease, you don't have to worry about things outside, because your mother is here..."

  Sun Ce nodded with difficulty.

  Madam Wu stood up, ready to go outside.

Seeing this, Da Qiao quickly got up from the ground and was about to send Mrs. Wu off, but she didn't know why she suddenly felt like the world was spinning, and then she couldn't help feeling sick, and immediately lay down on the ground and retched, with snot and tears streaming out of her little face …

   Madam Wu suddenly became angry, and gave Da Qiao a vicious look. Just 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 make a diagnosis.

   Just like most mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have conflicts, Mrs. Wu doesn't like Da Qiao either.

The reason is simple, Da Qiao is worthless, has no husband's family, and has nothing that can give Sun Ce any bonus. Although Sun Ce said that he just likes Da Qiao, other people just don't want to marry. Joe's value is just a plaything, and Sun Ce doesn't need too much emotion.

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

  Although Sun Ce made his own decision in the end, it also caused Mrs. Wu to have no good looks towards Da Qiao.

"Madam Qi...this..." The doctor looked at Madam Wu, and then at the door of Sun Ce's room. His face seemed to have been held back for more than ten days, and he didn't know whether to put on a sad or happy expression. Appearance, "This...young madam, I'm happy...but young madam is weak...here, you should be careful not to get pregnant..."

   Madam Wu frowned, and a complicated and unclear look appeared in her eyes, "That matter will not bother the second master... Please prescribe some anti-natal medicine..."

   "It should be, it should be..." The doctor stepped back.

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