Chapter 18 Expedition

At night.

The mountain is not as turbid and hot as the world of mortals, and is cooler.

Lin Ning was half lying on the bed, but his eyebrows were frowning slightly, and his heart was troubled.

After treating Zhou Shi and Zeng Niu today, they didn't make as much money as they thought.

Not even a hair

As a result, some of his previous ideas have problems

I thought that doing good deeds could earn merit, and he did have merit in helping the elderly to carry water to repair the house. But why is it that he doesn't save the sick and heal the injured now?

If you can't even heal the wounded and save the dying, what's the merit?

Could it be that Zhou Shi and Zeng Niu were injured too lightly, not meritorious enough?

It's also wrong. Zeng Niulian's skill is more defensive and less injured, but Zhou Shi was beaten badly enough.

If his wound is not cured, it will leave the root of the disease and even die.

How can you be without merit?

"Pa!"

Suddenly, Lin Ning's brain flashed, and he thought of a reason!

These two people are mountain bandits. Kill them!!

And he also remembered one thing. Yesterday, he had some doubts. He clearly helped more than ten lonely old people in the mountain stronghold to carry water, but his merits were not so much, but much less.

Now, if you think about it, don't you agree with the male mountain bandit who is the head of the household?

Carrying water for Grandma Liu and Aunt Sun, they all have merits.

In the dark room without lights, Lin Ning's eyes were bright and she found the problem!

As long as you are a male mountain bandit, you may not have blood on your hands or human life.

Even Zhou Shi and Zeng Niu are.

Therefore, no merit can be attached to saving them.

But

Lin Ning suddenly turned black again. People in the stronghold often get hurt and need to be cured. It's only these bandits!

Ordinary family members don't need to hunt. How can they get hurt?

If so, his way to brush merit points with medical skills is completely blocked.

How much merit can you earn as a friend of women? Really depressed.

But

Lin Ning's gloom did not last long. After all, God had given him such a big cheater, which made him realize his wish.

If it is so simple to get merit points, it will not be interesting

In his previous life, he fought like a beast for fame and wealth, and could not spare any time.

This life, but do not want to live like this again.

There is nothing urgent for him to do right now. Let's take it easy.

Thinking like this, Lin Ning's anger dissipated. Lin Ning was sleepy and fell asleep slowly.

……

However, shortly after Lin Ning fell asleep listening to the occasional chirp of cicadas in the bamboo forest behind her house, the front of Qingyun Stronghold was crowded with people to see her off.

As one of the top 13 mountain strongholds in Canglan Mountain, Qingyun Stronghold is a big one with hundreds of people.

The men hunted and plundered the caravans smuggled to the grassland. The women were responsible for pickling the prey, making clothes from its fur, picking wild vegetables and fruits in the forest, and raising children.

In the stronghold, there are medicine rooms, schools, and generals who make swords, bows and arrows.

At the moment, except for Lin Ning, who did not know about it, everyone in the cottage is concentrated here, including Aunt Chun.

They want to send warriors to the war!

Tian Wuniang was dressed in black clothes, and her eyes were cold and her face was indifferent. Apart from Fang Lin, the second leader who stayed in the stronghold, the other leaders were all out.

This time, not only the "Qingdaowei" in the shanzhai will go to war, but also a group of young people like Fang Zhi who have grown up will go to the mountain with the army.

Their spirit seems more excited than those silent old soldiers!

The second leader, Fang Lin, looked at Tian Wuniang riding on a big black horse and said in a shrill voice, "The first leader should just go to the war with confidence. All the people in the mountain stronghold should keep order and abide by their duties. There are 563 people waiting for the first leader to return with full load! Our ancestors and ancestors in Qingyun Stronghold will bless us and the big leader's family will return safely!"

"Our ancestors and ancestors in Qingyun Stronghold bless us, and the leader and his team return safely!"

Hundreds of people knelt down and prayed to heaven.

Tian Wuniang looked at this scene and immediately bowed. Weisha said in her voice, "I'm confident that the second leader will look at the gate."

But without saying more, he looked at the heavy wooden mountain gate connected by a large rope rack.

This is the only way for Qingyun Stronghold to connect with the outside world.

"Open! Mountain! Door!!"

Although the second leader Fang Lin's face is a little shabby and his voice is a little sharp, he is very prestigious and popular. At this moment, he holds the torch high and hiss his voice through the stronghold.

"Mighty!"

"Mighty!"

"Mighty!"

Hundreds of mountain people shouted, and more than 20 muscular men pulled the winch together.

With a harsh sound, the heavy mountain gate weighing 10000 kg was slowly pulled up.

This time, Fang Zhi, Hu Xiaoshan, Zhou Nini, Zhou Shi, Zeng Niu, Li Xuan and others, who were the leading pro guards, took the lead out of the stronghold.

The third leader, General Hu, led the Tsing Yi Army.

Zhou Cheng, the fifth leader, has already taken people on the road and quickly reported the news along the way.

The fourth leader, Deng Xueniang, was already on the grassland. She laid trap poison on several roads.

Tian Wuniang, the leader, was the last to leave the stronghold. Little Jiuniang's face was tight and she was also wearing martial clothes. She rode on the back of little grey. Her tender voice shouted to Tian Wuniang, "Sister, Wan Sheng!"

Tian Wuniang fixed her eyes on Xiao Jiuniang, softened a lot at will, and nodded slightly: "Listen to Aunt Chun."

After Aunt Chun taught her a few words, Little Jiuniang took Aunt Chun's hand, nodded emphatically and said loudly: "Don't worry, sister, I will listen to Aunt Chun's words. Don't worry, sister, come back safely as soon as possible! We will wait for you at home!"

Tian Wuniang bent her mouth slightly, nodded her head, pulled the reins and was about to leave. Suddenly, a young man dressed in white walked slowly out of the way among the mountain people.

The scene suddenly quieted down.

Once upon a time, the boy most despised young girls by setting horses on the war, burning, killing and looting.

Seeing Lin Ning's sudden arrival, Aunt Chun and Ninth Niang were all nervous. Fang Lin, the second in charge, hurried forward for fear that he might say something unlucky.

Tian Wuniang looked at him lightly.

Lin Ning came near, sighed softly, bowed down and said, "I have worked hard and come back safely."

This scene made countless people open their eyes.

Even in the shanzhai where there is no education, men are superior to women.

It is almost common for a man to beat his wife, but some kind-hearted people beat less, and some black hearted people beat harder.

It is rare for a man to salute a woman.

What's more, Lin Ning used to despise Tian Wuniang. Many people in the cottage felt sorry for Tian Wuniang, and worried that she would have to bear domestic violence in the future.

Because of Lin Long and Ning's family, if Lin Ning was a domestic violence, Tian Wuniang would not resist.

Many people can't bear to think of that picture, and they cry when talking about it.

This is one of the reasons why Lin Ning is so unhappy in the stronghold

People thought that Lin Ning came to humiliate people today, but they didn't expect this.

Not to mention others, even Tian Wuniang's Feng eyes narrowed, but the icy lake was still calm and indifferent.

Only Aunt Chun and Little Nine Niangs were so happy that Aunt Chun "Ouch" said to herself, "I shouldn't have coaxed you to go to bed early. It's all my fault, and I've become a villain."

But her smiling face is still full of meaningful eyes, which is not self reproach.

Xiaojiu Niang "giggled" and said, "My brother-in-law, have you come to see my sister off?"

Lin Ning stroked her brain and nodded.

The second leader, Fang Lin, said to Tian Wuniang, "The best leader, it's time to start."

Aunt Chun and Little Jiuniang glared at him. Tian Wuniang nodded slightly and did not stop. Her eyes swept over the people's faces and paused in Lin Ning's face. Then she pulled the reins, sat under her, channeled, turned the horse's head and jumped out of the mountain gate. With the sound of "Da Da" horse hooves gradually fading, she finally disappeared into the darkness.

The mood of the people who saw them off gradually became solemn. When did the family go to war without anxiety?

Many times, when the brigade returns, there will be one or two less people, and sometimes there will be more people less

"Sister, you must come back early!!"

After Tian Wuniang left, Xiaojiuniang, who had always been brave and had a smiling face, suddenly hoarse and shouted into the darkness. Then she could not help crying out. A pair of small hands covered her face, and her body trembled with fear.

Aunt Chun picked up and began to appease her. How could she persuade her.

Lin Ning came forward and took it from Aunt Chun. "Don't worry, Jiuniang, your sister's martial arts are very strong. Even if she encounters difficulties, she will always survive. Later... I will try to stop the cottage from living like this."

Little Jiuniang didn't understand this, but Fang Lin, who came by, understood it. After taking a deep look at Lin Ning, she persuaded little Jiuniang to say, "Don't worry, my third uncle has told your brother Xiaozhi that they are the soldiers of the big leader. If the big leader is injured, they will be fine. I will not forgive them and punish them ten times. On this expedition, Uncle San doesn't ask them to make much progress. As long as they can cooperate well with the leader and block the sword and arrow when it is critical, they will make great achievements. So there will be nothing wrong with the big leader. This cottage is where the big leader is and the cottage is. If the top leader is in trouble, the mountain stronghold will be over. The big leader knows this, so she will come back safely... The little nine is good and won't cry any more. "

"Sister... brother-in-law, what Uncle said is true?"

In front of her sister, she had been pretending to be a strong girl, but now her crying eyes were red and swollen. Her eyes were full of worry and fear. She asked Lin Ning timidly.

Lin Ning smiled and nodded, saying: "What you said is true. If your sister loses a hair, others are fine. Even if you are kind, I will not give up. This tragedy cannot be repeated from generation to generation. It's time to end... Don't worry, little Jiuer."

These simple words have greatly changed the faces of Fang Lin, Aunt Chun, Sun Bo and other middle-level people in the cottage.

Hearing the words, Little Nine Niang was puzzled in her eyes, but she didn't say more. She recognized the affirmation and assurance in Lin Ning's words, so she stopped crying bitterly and only buried her face on Lin Ning's shoulder and smoked.

No matter how much she believes in her brother-in-law, she still worries about her sister, who is her only blood relative.

……

Yulin City, the city guards the mansion.

Zhao Hua, the chief guard, Luo Cheng, the general guard, and many civil and military officials in Yulin City are having a banquet with Zhao Wuhui, the second son of the Zhao family in Yanjun County, and Yan Ke, the leader of the blood knife gate, the Wulin overlord in Yanjun County.

Zhao Hua, the governor, was the son of the Zhao family in Yanjun. In order to plan for this position, the Zhao family has contributed to the accumulation of the Zhao family for generations.

Now, it's time to recycle some benefits.

The Zhao family set up a huge caravan, which was led by Zhao Ergong, the Zhao family's great hero, and was escorted by Yan Ke, the leader of the Blood Sabre Sect who had a deep relationship with Zhao Jiayuan.

Even Zhao Buhui, the second son of Zhao, was born in Jixia Academy, one of the three holy martial arts places in the world.

It is quite famous in the whole state of Qi!

However, this team only nominally wants to cross the Canglan River by boat through the ebb tide slope ancient ferry to the State of Qin. In fact, it will cross the direction of a line of sky, through the lofty Canglan Mountain, and go to the grassland to seek huge profits.

The world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit.

The Zhao family has operated Yanjun for hundreds of years. Even Luo Cheng and Yan Ke have been persuaded by their background. This business trip seems to be foolproof.

However, they may or may not know that there are already five of the top 13 mountain strongholds on Canglan Mountain, more than 200 miles away from Yulin City.

Hundreds of mountain bandits are preparing to carve up a piece of fat that is rare in ten years!

But who knows who is the yellow finch, who is the cicada, and who is the hunter before the answer is revealed?
