This powerful roar shocked everyone, and the sound of shouts echoed in the narrow valley, followed by countless figures on the ridge and flags spread all over the mountains and plains.
Wei Kui's eyesight was the best among several people, but he could only roughly count dozens of people above his head, or even hundreds. This situation couldn't help but remind him of Wei Cheng - if he were here, he would be able to figure it out clearly at a glance, but he is probably already in the capital happily preparing to accept the future Duke.
Several people looked far away, each calculating in their minds the strength comparison between the enemy and ours, as well as the possibility of escape. Only He Nan did not raise his head as if it had "nothing to do with me" and looked straight ahead with his mouth crooked.
Because there are people guarding the end of this long and narrow valley road, which is also the source of the roar.
"May I ask... why are you blocking the road here?" In fact, when he saw the other party's appearance and the key information that the visitor took the initiative to reveal, He Nan had already made a very possible guess in his mind. , but he felt that it was better to let the other party clearly explain his intention.
The man at the head looked to be about forty years old, tall and tall, but at this moment he had a bitter and resentful face. His brows were tightened, his eyes were evil, and two nasolabial folds ran down the bridge of his nose and penetrated his eyes. Cheek - this is exactly the same as Pu Mingxing, so the identity of this person is self-evident: "Humph, my brother died in that underground palace for no apparent reason. Although the culprit of this matter is King Yama, I think You must also give an explanation to my Pu family, right? Otherwise, you will never leave this road with your life today!"
"Explain? What explanation can I give you? You said yourself that King Yama is the culprit, so why don't you go find him?" He Nan is an expert in telling lies with his eyes open, and there is no psychological burden on him when he talks nonsense: "He died in the underground palace, not in our house. If I were you, I would flatten King Yama's grave - now you don't have any evidence to prove that I have anything to do with your brother's death. How can you taint someone’s innocence out of thin air?”
Seeing He Nan's confident expression, Rui Wuxun almost laughed out loud, but Lao Wei and Xiao Yu had long been accustomed to it and watched He Nan's performance quietly. Xie Zhan had always been a very upright and serious person, and they were afraid of being exposed at this moment Liao Qiong had no choice but to turn his head and try his best to control his expression.
"Hmph, who would believe your rhetoric?" Pu Mingyue took a step forward and tried to intimidate He Nan with her domineering momentum: "You are a dog in the underground palace, how can you tell others?"
Hearing Pu Mingyue's words, He Nan couldn't help but sneered: "Yeah, since I won't tell others, how can you come to the unreliable conclusion that I killed your brother? After all, isn’t it all your conjecture? I know that the old King Bian Cheng would rather let a young man who is not a few years older than me be the head of the family, rather than choose your eldest son."
He Nan is indeed unique and natural at irritating others. Many people will never reach the point where he can easily achieve it even in their lifetime - of course, they don't want to reach this point. But no matter how you say it, this sentence really hit Pu Mingyue's pain point like an awl.
No matter how respectful he is to outsiders, Pu Mingyue knows his own thoughts best. He is jealous of his smart brother. Of course, there is a close family relationship between the two brothers, but when it comes to inheriting his elder brother It would not be an exaggeration to say that Pu Mingyue was downright jealous of his own younger brother on such a crucial matter as the Wang family business in Biancheng.
Shortly after Pu Mingyue went to the Yama gathering on behalf of his father, Pu Mingyue also concealed his identity and followed him all the way to Wolf Town. In fact, he simply had the mentality of watching Pu Mingxing's jokes - although everyone knew that the Pu family was being The possibility of kicking out the Ten Palaces of Yama is not high, but it does not prevent Pu Mingyue from taking a look with this idea.
But being outside the Quenching Stone Manor, it was difficult to find out a lot of information inside, so he had to wait patiently, and because he came here in disguise without revealing his identity, he was basically the same as There is no close connection with others.
And this time, the shocking news of Yama's death and chaos in the villa came out.
Pu Mingyue's men outside the villa were mobilized that night, but how did they know that Pu Mingyue was actually in Wolf Town? Therefore, the elder brother was unable to participate in the melee.
Of course, this cannot be said to be a completely bad thing, because once Pu Mingyue joins the war, Bunong, the king of Biancheng, may have to experience the sadness of a white-haired man sending away two black-haired men. From Pu Mingyue's personal perspective It seems that although he did not personally experience the melee in the village, he at least contacted King Bian Cheng's subordinates after the war, and logically took over the command that should have belonged to Pu Xingxing.
After learning the inside story through the words of his subordinates, Pu Mingyue came up with many ideas. Although he was not good at dealing with details, after so many years of exposure, at least the eldest son of Pu was quite knowledgeable in the overall situation. He had the same idea as He Nan and others - taking advantage of the perfect opportunity to take advantage of the fact that King Yama was buried in the underground palace and the dragons in Fengshan were leaderless and severely damaged, he contacted King Guang of Qin, King of the City and the Emperor of the Song Dynasty to send their troops together to prepare for carving up. The legacy of this "Head of Yama".
The reason why these families were chosen is of course because of their commonality - none of these families benefited from the gathering of Yama, but instead became victims because of the loss of their heads. As the saying goes, a sad soldier will win. Pu Mingyue wants to use the resentment of these people to use this move to turn defeat into victory. If this success is successful, then Pu Mingyue's own prestige will also rise in the green forest. In time, he may not be able to become Yama. king.
Just when the remnant soldiers gathered together and prepared to march towards Fengshan, Pu Mingyue received another piece of new information - He Nan and his group were also heading here. In fact, speaking of it, these people's opinions and suspicions about He Nan are quite large, and even to the point of being very dissatisfied - of course the reason is easy to say, people are not suffering from scarcity but from inequality. If no one survives in the underground palace, each family will Even though they can accept the losses, they might still unite and target King Yama first. But the bad thing is that his eldest brother is dead, but others are still alive, so people can't help but think of other factors.
Although the remnants of King Yama's party must be destroyed, He Nan is still an enemy in the hearts of the coalition forces headed by Pu Mingyue. If they are left alone, there will definitely be trouble in the future. Instead, it is better to take this opportunity to attack them and congratulate them first. It's hard to be caught off guard, and then the Fengshan tribe members were recruited separately, so they blocked the road and set up an ambush in the Burial Valley.
Facing He Nan's provocation, Pu Mingyue did show signs of losing control, but he adjusted quickly and sneered: "I'm afraid it's not your turn as an outsider to point fingers at our family's affairs today. The purpose is to ask you to give an explanation to us people - if you can prove that my brother's death has nothing to do with you, then we will not offend the river."
For some people, it doesn't make sense to reason, even if it's wrong reasoning, because the other person has no intention of listening at all. Especially this kind of person whose position is different from yours, whose attitude is very firm, who has already preset a result and firmly believes in it, so He Nan also lost the interest in messing around - although in fact he was the one who killed Pu Mingxing, but logically From a personal perspective, Pu Mingyue could not produce evidence and could only remain at the level of suspicion. This deadlock cannot be broken with words.
So, He Nan changed his mind and asked in a tone that was almost like that of an old scholar trying to persuade a child: "Now that we have all left Queshi Manor, your brother died in the underground palace without being seen alive or dead." , I’m afraid it will be difficult to find him again and present him to you. Then, based on the current situation, what kind of explanation do you think I have to give you before you are willing to give up? "
Pu Mingyue calmed down and showed a malicious smile: "My old man always said that fallen leaves return to their roots. After all, it is not right for my brother to die in a foreign land. Personally, I can give you some time to allow you to return. Quenching Stone Village, if you can find my brother's body, then the matter between us will be settled - of course, I am also afraid that if I just let you go, you will never come back, so you have to be detained I need something here."
As soon as these words came out, Pu Mingyue's psychology was already obvious. Even if He Nan really agreed to his conditions and tried his best to dig out Pu Mingyue's body and bring it to him, Fengshan would have been destroyed by that time. These people divided it up and the day lily became cold.
Both emotionally and rationally, He Nan couldn't accept it, so he added: "Your idea will definitely not work. There are too many variables in it. If I go to the underground palace and can't find your brother's body, wouldn't it be a waste of time?" One trip? Why don't you think about it again and see if there is a solution that can be solved now."
Yes, of course there is, and Pu Mingyue has already conceived it - that is to ask He Nan and others to withdraw from the Fengshan area and then pay an unclear compensation to each family - at least their share of the Pu family Children are indispensable. But what he is thinking about now is how to say these words in a polite and beautiful way to show how tolerant and generous he is.
However, just as Pu Mingyue was thinking, there was a sudden noise above his head. Before Pu Mingyue could raise her head to look, a black shadow hit the dirt road between the two of them with a bang, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.
"Huh?!" Pu Mingyue recognized this person. He was one of the leaders under the urban king Xu Ling. He was assigned to supervise the army on the mountain. How could he roll down the cliff without any problems at this moment?
"You're plotting against me!" Pu Mingyue finally realized what the buzzing above his head was, and couldn't help but glare at He Nan.
"I don't dare to accept it, I don't dare to accept it, but now it's my turn to put forward the conditions, right?" He Nanpi smiled, but seeing that Pu Mingyue was rushing towards him desperately, he still gave up and stayed. He said "Forget it, I have nothing to say to you" and retreated behind Wei Kui to seek shelter.
Old Wei had long heard that Shu Hao and Yang Hong, the brothers on the mountain, led the crowd to attack. At this moment, he could no longer hold back and used all his strength to attack Pu Mingyue and violently attacked Feng He.
Some people died, but not completely...
