Chapter 129 The Darkest Hour
The darkness before dawn is always the most oppressive darkness.
Yi Xifeng and the other three gradually calmed down from the excitement of getting new equipment. Looking at the darkness not far ahead, the fair boy couldn't help but think to himself:
In this battle, Yinren Village was obviously in a passive position. Although the deployment here was extremely fast, due to calculated calculations and unintentional decisions, Lin Fenghuo's safety was likely to affect the direction of many forces. However, the young man always felt that no matter whether there was war or peace, he hoped that his brother would be safe and sound.
Feeling the change in his mentality, the fair boy had to sigh at the meticulousness of the top management of Yinren Village. This time, under the leadership of Qingzhu, he and Wang Bodang's main task was negotiation, and it was Zhao Long who actually carried out the rescue mission.
Looking at the darkness in front of him, he calculated that the time was close to Yinshi. Heizi and the others had already left the boundary of Yinren Village by this time.
With his extraordinary eyesight and hearing, he could still see the figure that was constantly moving not far ahead in this dark environment. The other person was Qingzhu, one of the captains of the mountain patrol team.
The middle-aged mountain patrol team member looked up at the whitening horizon. Knowing that it was close to dawn, he had to speed up, so he whispered to the people behind him: "Everyone, listen to the order! Pay attention to my guidance and move forward at full speed!" "
Qingzhu's whole body was suddenly filled with cyan light, which quickly enveloped his whole body. With the strong aura, even if they were tens of meters apart, everyone could still feel the oppression from the cultivation level.
The figure of the middle-aged man turned into a stream of light and quickly disappeared into the dense forest. Yi Xifeng did not dare to tell him. This time he went out to perform a mission, which involved the safety of his friends. The young man did not take away the three thousand irons from the iron chain vest. down, and put it on your iron chain inner armor.
At this time, he exerted all his body skills, and saw white air steaming around the young man's body. Even in the dark night, he could still see the energy surging around him. The young man's figure paused, and the next moment he appeared two feet away. It immediately turned into an afterimage and disappeared into the forest.
Zhao Long and Wang Bodang used their own skills to catch up. The four of them rushed at full speed, no longer suppressing their own internal energy. If they looked from the watchtower of Liangchengang at this time, they could see four streaks of light, rushing towards Tiexin Village to the east.
After about two cups of tea, although the three young men were quite strong, they still fell far behind the warriors of the mountain patrol team.
The green bamboo is in front, and by releasing its own internal energy fluctuations, it drives away the ferocious beasts that go out to look for food at dawn.
Fortunately, there are no powerful kings of strange beasts in the area of Yinren Village. The closest one is the three young men's old friend, the Bloody Moon Greedy Wolf.
Soon the four of them arrived at the border of Yinren Village, where a cliff stretched in front of them. It is said to be a cliff, but in fact, in Yi Xifeng's opinion, it is more like a cliff, because the four of them are under the cliff at this time.
Wang Bodang looked at the cliff here and murmured:
"The entire topography of Luoye County is high in the east and low in the west. We, Yinren, are located in the southwest and are naturally located on low plains, while Tiexin Village is located in the east of the entire county, so the terrain is naturally higher. This is why we, Yinren, have The spring breeze flows through the river, but their Tiexin Village can only live off the springs on Queshan Mountain."
Qingzhu nodded and said: "Yes, this place is the dividing line between the strength of our two parties. The blood relatives of the village chief were kidnapped. This kind of shame and humiliation has not been experienced by us in Yinren Village for many years."
As he spoke, his eyes gradually became cold and stern.
…
Tiexin Village, Xuanwu Hall.
This is the center of power in the entire Tiexin Village, equivalent to the existence of the Yinren Village Presbyterian Council.
Tiexin Village was built decades earlier than Yinren Village, and its population has reached 4,000, twice the current Yinren Village.
However, what makes the ruler of Tiexin Village feel aggrieved is that from the beginning he suppressed the other party, and now he is counter-suppressed by the other party. Even though he works hard to govern, he still cannot keep up with the progress of Yinren Village.
At this time, a muscular man with white hair was sitting at the top of Xuanwu Hall. He had short white hair and a thick short beard. It was obviously carefully trimmed by someone, which made the white-haired man look more energetic. hale and hearty.
This person is none other than the village chief of Tiexin Village, Helian Tiexin.
Helian Tiexin was born into a wealthy businessman and loved to practice martial arts since he was a child. As the saying goes, the poor in culture and wealth in martial arts, he grew up in a well-off family, and he also had a good talent in martial arts. He visited famous teachers all over the world and even spent a lot of money to become a member of the Luo Yun Sect. Outer disciple.
At that time, Luo Yun Sect was already a top-notch first-class sect, but at that time, Luo Yun Sect had not yet supported the establishment of Luo Yun Kingdom, and it could not be called one of the eight world-renowned sects.
Helian Tiexin came to this small mountain village due to the expansion of his family's business routes. At that time, the village was called Queshan Village. There were only more than 200 households in the village. He was only twenty years old at that time.
Later, the Luo Yunzong supported the establishment of the Luo Yun Kingdom and became the state religion of the country. The status of Helian Tiexin, an outer disciple, also rose with the tide. In addition, during the founding war, the Helian family, who were merchants, also contributed to the provision of food, grass and baggage, so he Being enfeoffed in this barren and barren county, Queshan Village became the private Tiexin Village owned by the Helian family.
Later, relying on Tiexin Village to gather Orion refugees in the county, Helian's family business grew and grew, and he gradually became one of the six forces in Luoye County.
…
"Report! Patriarch! Mr. Shui is back!" A man dressed as a servant quickly walked into the Xuanwu Hall, knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"Oh? Is he alone?" Helian Tiexin asked calmly.
"No, I also saw Master Shui there, and two people wearing black and white masks." The man replied quickly.
As the head of the family, Helian Tiexin thought for a moment and said, "No problem, please invite Mr. Shui and everyone in!"
"No!" The man dressed as a servant got up from the ground and trotted out.
After a while, Shui Yuntian and his party arrived in front of the hall. Before they entered the martial hall, the middle-aged man laughed loudly and said: "Congratulations, head of the family, congratulations to the head of the house! Today Shui brought a distinguished guest!"
With that said, Shui Yuntian strode into the Xuanwu Hall. When he saw Helian Tiexin standing up to greet them, he made a gesture of kneeling down and worshiping.
The white-haired man hurriedly stepped forward to support the other person and blamed him: "Sir, what are you doing? Didn't Tie Xin say that in this Tie Xin Village, anyone can kneel, but Mr. Shui cannot kneel!"
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "The etiquette cannot be abolished."
"Haha, where did the etiquette come from? In Tiexin Village, what I, Helian Tiexin, say is etiquette!" As he said that, he took Mr. Shui's hand and walked up to the Xuanwu Hall.
The two of them gave in for a long while, and the white-haired man insisted that Shui Yuntian sit on an equal footing with him and sit together at the top. However, Shui Yuntian just refused, and in the end he had to let the middle-aged man stand aside.
"Does the head of the family know this person?" As he spoke, the middle-aged man pointed at Lin Fenghuo in the audience and asked.
Helian Tiexin looked at it carefully for a moment and wondered: "Could this person be... from Yinren Village..."
Before the other party could finish speaking, the swarthy boy couldn't stand the hypocritical conversation between the monarch and his ministers, so he shouted: "I am Lin Fenghuo, my father Lin Rufa, and my grandfather Lin Hengshan. I have met the head of the Helian family!"
