Among the crowd, a young man in his early twenties looked at the rolling heads on the ground. He was not as excited as others, nor was he as frightened as them. There was a hint of complexity in his indifferent eyes.
The crowd dispersed, but he still stood there for a while before returning to his residence.
We live in a wooden house, which is sheltered from wind and rain, and is fairly spacious and airy.
There was an intermittent and low coughing sound coming from inside.
"Is mother feeling better today?"
"Biao'er is back. The medical officer sent some medicine today. It's much better than the day before." As soon as he finished speaking, he coughed twice more.
The young man quickly went inside and poured a pottery bowl of water for his mother to drink. Suddenly he saw a bag of corn in the corner of the room, and he felt a little dazed in his affection.
"Although Hei... Yunshan is a village, it is much better than the official uniform. If we... go south, we may not be able to have what we have today. Why not... just stay... here and don't cause any more trouble." Mother began to nag. stand up.
The young man did not answer, but a voice came from outside the building, "Brothers are here, just wait for a word from Chief Qin."
With a "clang" sound, the pottery bowl fell to the ground and shook twice, but it did not break.
"Mother rest in peace, son go and rescue her."
"Son, General Li is the killer in the sky. You...don't go against him."
"I know." The young man walked out of the wooden house, closed the door, and motioned for everyone to go further away.
More than a hundred figures emerged from the grass and trees, their eyes glowing in the night.
Everyone is in tatters, but they can't hide the desperate spirit in them.
"The people in Heiyun Mountain don't treat us as human beings, and we don't need to treat them as human beings. They will do whatever they want, kill their mother, burn their mother, and when trouble breaks out, someone will respond. We have already contacted them. Got it!"
"Yes, Li Yue is just a bandit leader, but he dares to call himself a general. Whose general is he?"
Ten thousand or twenty thousand refugees walked barefoot from the north of the Yellow River to Black Cloud Mountain. Naturally, they were not good men and women.
Everyone who survived was likely to have one or two other people's bones under their feet.
The young man's mind was still filled with his mother's words, "Have you seen what happened today? That Li Yue is also a ruthless person."
"Boss Qin, it's wrong to say that. He is cruel and merciless, but we are just merciful and soft-hearted?"
"Hahaha……"
There was ferocious laughter all around.
Finally, the eyes of the person at the front flickered in the dim night, "Is it possible that Mr. Qin was frightened by those heads today?"
The laughter continues.
But suddenly a ray of light burst out in the night and stabbed out of Qin Tou'er's hand.
"Pu Chi" was the sound of a sword cutting through flesh and bones.
The next moment, the head of the first person tilted away from his neck, and blood spurted out like a fountain, but his body was still shaking. It took three or four breaths before he collapsed.
The laughter stopped suddenly, and more than a hundred people couldn't help but take a step back, and the glimmer in their eyes faded.
Only Chief Qin had a cold light in his eyes, and everyone did not dare to raise their heads. The short knife in his hand was still bleeding, but he laughed and said kindly: "Brothers, if you are willing to follow me, Qin Biao, you must listen to me." , there is food, drink, and houses to live in on the mountain. There was no way to survive before, but now that we can live, we can live in peace and have a good life."
No one dared to speak.
"That's it for today. Let's take a rest early." Qin Biao waved his hand.
More than a hundred people left and carried the body down.
In the darker forest, several pairs of eyes stared at what was happening.
After everyone had dispersed, he disappeared into the night.
"I know." Li Yue was not surprised after hearing the scout's report.
And this isn't the first time something like this has happened on the mountain.
Some of them were directly picked up by the scouts without any sound, and even the corpses were not known where they were buried.
Some, just like that night, stopped in time.
Focusing on the interior, I discovered that Black Cloud Mountain was already full of contradictions.
The refugees going south are not just ordinary people on the run. They have to face the plunder of wild beasts, Jie slaves, bandits, and Wubao along the way. They will spontaneously form a group and have a lot of cohesion. The leader is called the "travel leader."
And some leaders were originally local powerful men.
Once you kill a group of people, a new "leader" will be formed.
"How about we kill them first..." Zhang Shengye made a gesture of slitting his throat, "I promise to clean them up without leaving any traces."
Li Yue glanced at him and said, "We are a government now. The bandits' habits must be changed. If they don't move, you won't move either."
It's okay to kill one person as a warning to others, but if you kill too many, the deterrent effect will be diminished.
Besides, they didn’t rebel. If the leader died inexplicably, what would the others think?
Naturally, the accounts were settled on Heiyun Mountain.
It is not easy to establish a set of order. If you want to retain people, you cannot just rely on killing.
And today they stopped in time, which was a good start.
"Keep a close eye on the mountain, don't relax outside."
"Follow the order!" Zhang Shengye backed away.
In the dead of night, Li Yue thought of the "gentle place" in the back room, and his heart couldn't help but feel hot.
Xin Can did everything else very well, but this one was handled quite honestly. Although the two nieces and nephews were not the beauty of the country, they were also Xiaojiabiyu with a docile personality.
As soon as he thought of Xin Can, this old boy came over, "General, I have a plan to solve the difficulties in Black Cloud Mountain!"
When Li Yue saw the anxious expression, his heart suddenly thought, "It's getting late today, how about we talk about it another day?"
Unexpectedly, Xin Can was selectively deaf, "Now that the general is so powerful, Heiyun Mountain is determined to seize this opportunity and march north to Yiluo!"
It's okay to have a great voice, but it's just a fart.
Li Yue suppressed many things and did not publicize them.
"Why go north to Yiluo?" Li Yue felt that he couldn't keep up with Xin Can's rhythm.
"The land of Yiluo is fertile and the climate is mild. There is the danger of Chenggao Xuanyuan in the east, and the solidity of Hangu and Xiaohan in the west. Now Xuanyuan Mountain is in the hands of the general, the route to Yiluo has been opened, and Luoyang is close at hand! If we can regain the old land, The capital is returned to the imperial court. The generals can be remembered in history, and the subordinates can be rewarded by the imperial court. They can honor their ancestors and be given the title of wife and son!"
Xin Can looked excited.
This guy stayed up most of the night, it turned out that he was really tinkering with this...
Li Yue would only attack Luoyang unless he was crazy.
Do you really think the stone tiger is a paper tiger? People just don't have time to pay attention to you.
Making trouble in the mountains and making trouble in Luoyang are completely different things. Li Yue has not yet been dazzled by victory. With such a small number of troops, he would not dream of taking Luoyang.
There was some doubt in the past, but now it seems that this guy's butt is sitting on the Sima family after all.
Even if they conquer Luoyang, will the Sima family move their capital back?
"Mr. Xin really worked hard for the imperial court!" Li Yue mocked.
Xin Can habitually pretended not to hear, and said righteously, "Can Can is not for the imperial court, but for the general, and for the common people in the world!"
"It's getting late. Please take a rest early and I won't see you off." Li Yue directly issued an eviction order and turned around to leave.
"The cities of Yiluo experienced a great epidemic and suffered heavy casualties. They were at their weakest time. The stone tiger and the sacred bird were defeated and the green and yellow were not taken over. The general Xingyi Banner swept Yiluo and conquered the old capital. The world was shaken. The heroes of the Central Plains will gather to respond and drive out the Jie. "Slave, we can recover the rivers and mountains in one fell swoop! If you don't take it now, you will miss the opportunity and regret it too late!" Xin Can said anxiously from behind.
