Not long after, Fan Hu and the other two arrived at the stronghold.
However, this Xiaoye Mountain cottage is quite different from what Fan Hu imagined.
There is no other reason. This place is too simple.
Fan Hu and Qin Qiong had also visited Shaohua Village before when they were escorting prisoners. Although it can't be called luxurious, there is nothing wrong with calling it grand.
But if this place is said to be a gathering place for refugees, Fan Hu won't have much doubt.
The only building that is passable is the Juyi Hall in the center of the village. But when I got closer and took a closer look, I could see that it looked a bit scruffy and run-down.
At this point, Fan Hu could understand why Wang Erniu wanted to give up his position as the master of the village to them.
It is undeniable that the starting point of Xiaoyeshan Village is indeed very low, but it does not mean that it will be the same in the future.
Fan Hu's arrival here today is the biggest variable.
After looking at the extremely enthusiastic Wang Erniu, Fan Hu's expression moved slightly and he slowly said:
"You must understand that we have offended our patron king Yang Lin. Although it seems now that we are highly skilled in martial arts, we may not be able to take care of you when the imperial army comes to kill us.
Do you really want to give up your position as village leader to us? "
Wang Erniu looked firm, gritted his teeth and said:
"The three masters honestly tell each other that the youngest and the brothers in the village couldn't survive outside, so they went to the mountains and fell into the grass. After all these years, they haven't made it out yet.
Now that I can see the three leaders, even if they are enemies of the imperial court, it is better than having to suffer from this cowardice all the time. At worst, when the time comes, the small leaders and officers and soldiers will fight tooth and nail.
It’s not in vain to be a hero in such a vigorous way! "
Listening to Wang Erniu's sworn words, Fan Hu couldn't help but smile. He finally nodded and said:
"Okay, it seems that you have really made up your mind. From today on, we will stay in Xiaoye Village.
Remember, this is my eldest brother Qin Qiong, he is the master of the cottage. My name is Fan Hu, and I will be the boss after the second. This Brother Jiang, you can treat him as the third boss for the time being! "
At the moment, Fan Hu is not obsessed with seniority in capital allocation. After all, Qin Qiong was older than him, and when they became sworn brothers, he was also the eldest brother, so it was natural for him to be the head of the family.
As for Jiang Song, he is only staying here temporarily. He doesn't know when he will leave, so he will be the third boss for the time being.
After receiving Fan Hu's affirmative answer, Wang Erniu, who had been somewhat hesitant, felt relieved.
What he just said was not false.
Although at the beginning, Wang Erniu wanted to follow Fan Hu and the others to make Xiaoye Village bigger and stronger.
But at this moment, he was mentally prepared. If the imperial army came to attack, he would join Fan Hu and the other three to fight with the officers and soldiers, or even die.
Without thinking too much, Wang Erniu couldn't wait to salute the three of them:
"It's good to be the first boss, it's good to be the second boss, it's good to be the third boss..."
Fan Hu responded calmly and said:
"Okay, you go down first and announce this matter. If anyone doesn't want to stay in Xiaoye Village, they can leave on their own. If they don't want to leave, they can follow us in the future!"
Wang Erniu nodded repeatedly and turned around.
that's all.
Fan Hu was the only three people left in Juyi Hall.
Qin Qiong's expression was a little awkward. It was obvious that he was still a little reserved and had not completely let go.
Even though his assassination of Yang Lin was tantamount to rebellion, it was not the same as Luo Cao becoming a bandit.
Fan Hu understood his thoughts and said:
"Shu Bao, there is no turning back when you open your bow. We have already attacked Yang Lin, so there is no way out.
I'm afraid that now that Yang Lin has fled back to Qizhou, a wanted order has been issued for you and me. At this moment, we need a place to stay, and Xiaoye Village is a good choice.
Although today is called the prosperous age, you and I know what the imperial court looks like. Now that we have taken this step, we naturally have to give it a try.
My godmother has been sent to Beiping Mansion. If we don’t have anything to worry about, how can we remain anonymous for the rest of our lives? It’s better to think of a way to deal with Yang Lin here! "
Qin Qiong's thoughts surged. He had planned to kill Yang Lin and leave with Fan Hu. But after listening to Fan Hu's words, Qin Qiong did not hesitate. He quickly made up his mind:
"Jianwei, you are right. If I don't kill Yang Lin this time, I won't have the shame to see my mother again. Instead of hiding my name, I would rather be a rebel openly and openly."
Fan Hu nodded slightly, looked at Jiang Song again and said:
"Brother Jiang, what about you? We plan to stay here first. If you want to leave, I won't stop you."
Although the result of climbing up the mountain and falling grass was something Jiang Song never expected. But he is not someone who gives up halfway. He has already said before that his words and deeds must be resolute.
Ever since, Jiang Song vowed:
"Brother Qin, Brother Fan, Jiang is not a capricious person. Since he said that he would help you kill Yang Lin, he will not give up halfway.
It's nothing more than fallen grass. Jiang is not afraid of those officers and soldiers! "
In the romance story, Jiang Song is a character who is both good and evil. He didn't care about the court or the rebellion, he only acted according to his own heart.
At this moment, this characteristic is most vividly displayed.
Fan Hu nodded and said with a smile:
"That's good. I believe that with Brother Jiang's help, even if Yang Lin comes back with thousands of troops, it won't matter.
But now, we can't be anxious, so we still have people go outside to inquire about the situation and see how Yang Lin reacts!
As long as Yang Lin dares to come out, I will definitely capture him! "
A chill emerged in Fan Hu's eyes. If he wanted to take the first step in the troubled times, he had to kill Yang Lin.
However, based on their current situation, even if Fan Hu and the others were invincible, they would not be able to directly enter the city and capture Yang Lin.
The city is so strong that it cannot be broken through by human power.
Only Yang Lin came out on his own.
Qin Qiong nodded, he thought so too.
Now that he and Fan Hu have sensitive identities, it is difficult to go out, so they can only let the minions go out to find out the information.
After the three people discussed it, Fan Hu found Wang Erniu and asked him to send people to explore the nearby city.
——
Yang Lin fled in panic.
He was so desperate in his heart, he never thought that he would encounter such a dangerous situation.
It was said to be an ambush, but in fact it was Qin Qiong and the sword master who killed them.
Such terrifying strength makes people shudder.
Fan Hu's blow was only one blow, but Yang Lin could no longer bear it, causing his internal organs to be damaged and his body to be seriously injured.
If Yang Lin hadn't protected the Fire and Water Prisoning Dragon Rod in front of him at that time, he would have been cut in two.
Yang Lin ran with all his strength, and he could no longer care about Jiang Song.
If Jiang Song can come back alive, he will definitely report to the court and give him an official position and a title, and he will be rewarded heavily.
On the other hand, if Jiang Song dies, Yang Lin has no choice but to build a tomb for this hero.
As his thoughts surged, Yang Lin had already seen the walls of Qizhou City, which made Yang Lin relieved.
As long as he enters the city, he will be safe.
When Yang Lin arrived outside the city gate, the guard on the city tower recognized Yang Lin. Although he didn't know why Yang Lin came back alone, he ordered the city gate to be opened quickly.
As the city gate slowly opened.
Yang Lin, who had never relaxed, could no longer hold on. His vision went dark and he fell heavily to the ground.
