But I saw the valor that shocked the heavens and the violence that shook the earth.
If the normal Wei Kui only had a chance to win against an opponent of Li Duo's level, then Wei Kui, who was angered after seeing blood, had obviously become a being who could equal Li Duo.
Ma Mian and Niu Tou have shared the joys and sorrows together for many years, and have experienced many life and death battles, large and small, and have naturally developed some exquisite cooperation. The two have truly demonstrated that one plus one is greater than two. It's a pity that despite this, Wei Kui still suppressed the two of them and was unable to fight back. If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before they lose.
"Go to hell!" Wei Kui used his iron halberd to deflect the bull's axe, and took the horse's throat with his other hand. The iron halberd was so sharp and unstoppable that it was about to knock the whole person off the horse.
"No!" At the critical moment, Niutou abandoned his weapon, jumped from his horse and jumped in front of Ma Mian, blocking the fatal blow for Ma Mian.
The two of them rolled off the horse together, and Wei Kui also stopped.
"Brother...run quickly! Call the village leader to avenge me!" A large bloody gash was opened on Niutou's back by a halberd blade. Although it was not life-threatening now, it was obvious that he no longer had the energy to escape. He pushed Ma Mian hard, hoping to use his own life in exchange for Ma Mian to escape from danger.
However, Ma Mian knelt on the ground motionless, holding the bull's head in his arms, with a wry smile on his face: "Do you think Qing-faced Yama will avenge you? Even if you are the fourth most powerful ghost under him after him, in his eyes It's the same...if you die, he will promote a new person to fill the vacancy of the ghost..."
In the eyes of Qing-faced Yama, the left and right ghost kings and the four major ghosts are all the same. If they die, they will die. If they find someone to fill their position, the most important thing in his eyes is money, so only the second master who can make money for him and make suggestions for him in the entire Xiaoshan Yanluo Village can be worthy of joining him. eyes. The attitude of the left and right ghost kings and the four major ghosts towards Qing-faced Yama is not so much respect, but fear - their strength is too different from Qing-faced Yama, and if they offend Qing-faced Yama, they may die in the mountains at any time.
Let’s take one thing as an example. The four ghosts, the bull-headed horse-faced black and white impermanent, are not the subordinates of Qing-faced Yama, but local snakes in Xiaoshan. The ghost kings on the left and right are the trusted followers promoted by Qing-faced Yama himself. Logically speaking, There is a difference between talking about closeness and distance. But even so, once the Right Ghost King secretly took a fortune and was killed by Qing-faced Yama on the spot. Now the Right Ghost King has changed.
It can be said that the reason why Green Faced Yama became the leader of the village is not because he has any extraordinary charisma, but because he has a force that no one can match; his method of managing the village is not to be kind and have clear rewards and punishments, but simply to The oppression by violence only made everyone fear him from the bottom of their hearts.
He Nan had already seen the one-sided situation in the small battlefield from a distance. At this time, he drove his horse and slowly walked to the two ghosts who were kneeling and lying: "You just said... your village master will not avenge you." ?”
Niutou turned his head around with great effort and spat out a mouthful of blood: "Since I have fallen into your hands, you can kill or behead me as you please. I only have one request..."
"Let your sworn brother go?" He Nan squinted at the cow's head and snorted two thick smoke from his nose - I don't know when he had lit the tobacco.
"You are not qualified to negotiate terms with us now." He Nan fell off the horse. It seems that he has completely overcome the effects of the medicine and is in great health now. "But I have a way to save both of you brothers from dying."
Not only were the two brothers with a bull head and a horse face were stunned, but even Wei Kui and Yu Ruyi didn't know what He Nan's plan was. Yu Ruyi pulled He Nan's sleeve, but the latter patted her hand to indicate that there was nothing wrong with her.
Not long after, the more thoughtful brother of the two, Ma Mian, spoke up: "You tell me."
It was already Yinshi, and the three of them had been staying up almost all night. He Nan could not help but yawn, and took another puff of tobacco and said: "I will ask you some questions first, and you must answer them truthfully. The big-headed snake has just told us There are many things. If the answers from your mouth are not consistent...you know the consequences. Don't think about delaying time, the calf's injury cannot be delayed..."
In fact, what the big-headed snake said was not very detailed. He Nan only thought of defrauding the two thieves after seeing that the big-headed snake died in the melee just now. Anyway, the big-headed snake was dead and there was no proof. Is the confession correct or not? No, it's not all He Nan's words.
Of course, Ma Mian knew the situation of his two brothers. Talking nonsense now with a sense of luck would be tantamount to death. If he told the truth, he might still have a chance to survive, so he agreed to He Nan's conditions.
"How many people are there in your village? How many people are there who can be called famous? How many characters are similar or even higher than you two?" He Nan wanted to pry it out from Ma Mian's mouth as soon as he came up. The most important information in Yanluo Village is the number and combat effectiveness of this group of bandits.
"There are small villages in the southeast, northwest and northwest respectively, led by our Niu-headed and Horse-faced brothers and Black and White Wuchang respectively. Each has about 300 minions serving under our orders. There is also a large village in the center of Xiaoshan with about 700 people, which is directly under our control. The leader of the village is Qingmian Yanluo." Ma Mian replied in a clear and precise manner, "Our four ghost masters have the same status, and above us there are the left and right ghost kings, the second master and the first master; Hei Wuchang and I are of equal strength, Niutou and Bai Wuchang is slightly inferior to the two of us. Niutou and I can probably fight to a tie with one of the ghost kings on the left and right. Black and White Wuchang must be about the same. I can't say many are close to the level of the four ghosts like us, but about ten or so will still be the same. Yes. The second master is our master, he is good at calculations but doesn’t know much about martial arts. As for the first master..."
Speaking of this, Ma Mian seemed to have thought of something, and there was a little hesitation and fear on his face. He swallowed hard, and then said hesitantly: "The four ghosts plus the ghost kings on the left and right... are no match for him."
He Nan didn't take Qing Faced Yama seriously before. Even when he heard about the nearly 2,000 bandits, he didn't have any ups and downs in his heart. After all, no matter how large a group of bandits was, it wouldn't make a difference. But at this moment, seeing the fear on Ma Mian's face and the strength of Qing Mian Yan Luo in his mouth, He Nan was really shaken in his heart, and then turned to look at Wei Kui, who was holding his arms and saying nothing.
Of course, Wei Kui understood what He Nan meant. He was asking himself, "How does this Blue-Faced Yama compare to you?" However, Wei Kui has always been a disobedient and dissatisfied master, and he has never seen Qing-Faced Yama. How can you kill your own prestige by yourself? So he replied: "I will not lose to him."
From Ma Mian's point of view, Wei Kui was not only confident, but also had a tough mouth. He couldn't help but look up at Wei Kui. He had just been stabbed in the ribs by his own sneak attack. At least Qing-faced Yama had never been successfully attacked by him.
Of course, Wei Kui also saw the strange look in Ma Mian's face, which simply said "Why are you bragging?" written on his face, but there was no need for him to explain anything to this defeated general. His style has always been all about offense and not defense, so it is inevitable that he will be injured more often than those characters who can advance and retreat.
After He Nan heard Wei Kui's words, although he was still unsure, he could not disgrace Wei Kui, so he nodded in affirmation. Next, he kept asking Ma Mian about various situations in Yan Luo Village. Although Ma Mian didn't know why He Nan asked these questions, he still answered truthfully for the sake of his brother's life.
And He Nan also noticed something from Ma Mian's tone and answers - in addition to fear, the attitude of these four ghosts towards Qing Mian Yama also contained a lot of resentment.
These four people used to be the bosses themselves, but suddenly the leader of the village, Yan Luo, and two ghost kings descended from the sky. Later, there was even a second leader sitting on their heads, and their status plummeted. Not to mention that this village has many rules, big and small. Even the money cannot be put into one's own pocket. Forget it if you are an errand. Even if you are a bandit, you are so cowardly that no one will accept it in your heart. No. If these people don't make a good living, they have to turn into bandits. Isn't the goal just to drink and eat meat from a big bowl, and to have all the beautiful women, gold and silver in my hands? But now most of the gold and silver seized must be handed over, and the village owner must taste the plundered beauties first. It’s strange that they don’t resent it! However, He Nan was eager for their resentment to rise to the sky, and a bold plan had arisen in his mind.
"Let me ask you...have you ever thought about killing Qing-faced Yama?" He Nan's two eyes were fixed on Ma Mian's face. This was the most critical step. He would never miss anything about Ma Mian. A subtle expression.
Unexpectedly, Ma Mian was not as scared as before, but showed an expression of relief. Although his smile was ugly, he smiled very easily: "Let me tell you... why do you want to inquire so much and it has nothing to do with you?" Things..."
"Are you from the imperial court?" Ma Mian asked with raised eyebrows. He regarded He Nan and the others as outposts sent by the imperial court to suppress bandits.
"This is not what you should ask, but to show my sincerity, I can tell you that I am not an officer or soldier." He Nan looked calm, "Now it's your turn to answer my question."
The atmosphere suddenly became solemn again. Of course Ma Mian thought about killing Qing-faced Yama, becoming the master of the village himself, or returning to the previous situation of two Xiaoshan, but Qing-faced Yama was the person he could kill if he wanted to. What? He Nan can be said to be fearless for the ignorant, but he is the one who knows the strength of Blue Faced Yama best.
"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your acquiescence." He Nanjian Ma Mian hesitated for a long time but couldn't hold back a fart, so he continued speaking on his own.
"Wait..." Ma Mian and Niu Tou looked at each other, and this look finally made Ma Mian strengthen his mind. He raised his head and looked at He Nan: "Do you have any idea?"
"There is a way, but you still need your cooperation..." He Nan said in a longer tone. He was giving Niutou and Mamian a last chance to think about it.
In fact, the plan in He Nan's mind is just a prototype. Whether it can succeed or not depends on many uncertain factors besides the cooperation of the bull head and the horse face. However, it all depends on man-made efforts. He Nan believes that there are always more solutions than difficulties.
"What about the benefits?" As expected, what Ma Mian cared about the most was this. If he wanted to kill Qing-faced Yama, he would have to risk losing his head. But if the benefits he got were not enough to balance the "death" result, then following He Nan would do the same. It's just someone else riding on your head.
"First, you and your brothers don't have to die, at least you can still live before attacking Qing-faced Yama; second, I have no interest in occupying the mountain as king, so if you are still alive after killing him, then this Xiaoshan is still Your territory..." He Nan said slowly.
"Then what are you doing with all your thankless work?" Ma Mian interrupted He Nan. He just wanted to know what He Nan was planning.
"Don't worry..." He Nan glared at Ma Mian, as if he was extremely dissatisfied with Ma Mian's behavior of interrupting him, "What I want is connections."
"You mean you want to be friends with us?"
He Nan didn't give any answer to this question, just smiled and said nothing.
