The snow has stopped, but the wind has not.

The wooden house by the river in Huangtu Village is as warm as spring.

There are many houses in the village on the mountain, but Xuanyuan Chong and his wife like to live in this wooden house by the river. It is very quiet here. Everyone knows that Suyun's sister-in-law does not like noisy, so she usually does not come to disturb her.

When something happened in the village, Xuanyuan Chong would go there and deal with it. He usually left the affairs of the village to Yang Shixin, the second leader, while he and his wife lived a simple life.

This kind of life has always been relatively peaceful.

When Suyun entered the room with tea, Shen Xuangan stood up hurriedly and said with a smile: "Second sister-in-law, you're welcome. They are all my brothers. I haven't been here for a few days. How is your second sister-in-law?"

"You brothers should move around more." Suyun was dressed in simple clothes. When guests came, she had a smile on her face and asked, "How is Guixiang doing lately?"

Shen Xuangan smiled and said: "It's all good."

"You guys talk, I'll go out and wash the clothes." Su Yun smiled gently, said nothing, and went out.

Shen Xuangan watched Su Yun's beautiful back leave and sighed: "Second brother is so lucky to marry such a virtuous woman as second sister-in-law, making my brothers envious."

Xuanyuan Chong smiled and said: "Isn't cinnamon good? Don't be ignorant of blessings when you are in the midst of blessings." He raised his hand and said: "This is the Cordyceps tea I fried. It is good for the body. Try it and see if you like it. If you like it,

I’ll take two bags back later.”

Shen Xuangan drank the tea from a cup and praised: "It is indeed a good tea, with a hint of herbs."

"You don't come to the Three Treasures Hall if you have nothing to do." Xuanyuan Chong said with a smile: "This is not the Three Treasures Hall, but if there is nothing to do, you won't come here. Tell me, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Second brother is joking." Shen Xuangan put down his tea cup, stared at Xuanyuan Chong, pondered for a moment, and finally asked: "Second brother, what kind of person am I in your eyes?"

Xuanyuan Chong was startled, obviously not expecting Shen Xuangan to ask such a question, and asked in confusion: "How could you ask like this?"

"I went up to the mountain a year earlier than my second brother." Shen Xuangan stared at Xuanyuan Chong and chuckled: "Originally, I sat in the second place on the mountain. After you came, I took the initiative to give up my chair. Many people privately

It is said that I am a wise man who understands the current affairs. My martial arts, wisdom and prestige are not as good as those of my second brother, so it is natural for me to give up my seat."

Xuanyuan Chong sighed: "They don't know that when I was surrounded by the Liaodong Army and had no way out, it was you who sent people to find me and persuaded me to defect to Montenegro. It was also you who persuaded my elder brother to take us in. After I went up the mountain, you resolutely let me go.

I sat in the second position, and they always took great care of me. I will always remember this friendship in my heart."

"Second brother, do you know why I did what I did back then?" Shen Xuangan asked.

Xuanyuan Chong thought for a moment and then said: "To be honest, you and I didn't have a deep friendship at that time. I really can't figure out why you treat each other like this."

Shen Xuangan smiled and said: "There are some things that I haven't mentioned to my second brother. Back then, our Shen family was considered a prosperous family, with hundreds of acres of farmland under our name. Although we were not rich, we still had enough food and clothing.

"

Xuanyuan Chong felt strange. Shen Xuangan was cautious and had never mentioned his origin to him. He only knew that this man once pulled up a team and was not weak in strength. However, he later went up the mountain to defect to Zhou Hongji and became the second-in-command of Heishan.

When the master went up the mountain, he immediately gave up two

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

As for his family origins, Shen Xuangan almost never mentioned it to himself.

Xuanyuan Chong was surprised when he suddenly mentioned it today.

"Every man is not guilty of carrying a jade." Shen Xuangan said slowly: "The hundreds of acres of fertile land of the Shen family have become the land coveted by the Liaodong Army. Chen Dong, the captain of the Liaodong Military Academy, tried his best to occupy those fields. In the end,

As a result, my Shen family was almost wiped out. My brother practiced martial arts since he was young and made many friends. After being forced into a desperate situation, he angrily raised a group of brothers to start an army. In more than two years, he developed thousands of people, and Liaodong

The army fought many times, with victories and defeats. However, my brother was impulsive, and when he was chasing the defeated troops, he was ambushed and died on the spot. From then on, I took over from my brother and led the brothers to continue fighting."

Xuanyuan Chong said solemnly: "If we were not forced to have no way out by the Liaodong Army, who would be willing to take this road."

"More than a dozen members of the Shen family died at the hands of the Liaodong Army. Second brother, do you think I should avenge this?"

"It would be a waste of human life not to retaliate against a great hatred!"

Shen Xuangan nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, if you don't avenge this revenge, you will never die in peace. Although the second brother only had a few hundred people under his command back then, he fought with the Liaodong Army and won more than he lost. There were so many rebels in the four northeastern counties that Liaodong could be defeated.

There are not many people who are feared by the military and even put huge rewards on their capture, but my second brother was at the front of the queue back then."

Xuanyuan Chong also had a look of emotion on his face.

"So when I heard that my second brother was being pursued by the Liaodong Army, I immediately contacted him and asked him to come to Montenegro." Shen Xuangan said: "In the final analysis, it was also my personal desire. Heishan had a lot of manpower at the time, but it was blocked by the Liaodong Army.

They huddled on the mountain and did not dare to go down. Based on the situation at the time, as long as the Liaodong Army cut off our roads out of the mountain and surrounded us on the mountain, it would not last long. The position would be in chaos, and they would inevitably fall into fighting each other for food rations.

中.At that time, there must be a general who can truly lead the army to fight, so that Montenegro can turn the crisis into safety."

Xuanyuan Chong nodded slightly and saw Shen Xuangan's expression was sincere, obviously speaking from the bottom of his heart.

"My choice back then was not wrong. When my second brother went up to the mountain, the Black Mountain Army fought against the Liaodong Army, almost winning every battle. Now the Liaodong Army doesn't even dare to attack the Black Mountain Army anymore, leaving us to fend for ourselves." Shen Xuangan

He picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and then continued: "So in my heart, Montenegro can live without anyone else, but only the second brother is indispensable. The second brother is the treasure of Montenegro. Without you, Montenegro will surely suffer."

Disaster is coming."

Xuanyuan Chong shook his head and said: "Third brother, don't say that. We can live in a corner, but in the final analysis, we are brothers who work together. Brothers go to battle to kill the enemy with all their might. It is definitely not my fault alone."

"Brothers are of the same mind...!" Shen Xuangan thought thoughtfully, pondered for a moment, and finally looked into Xuanyuan Chong's eyes and said slowly: "I came here today on the order of the master to invite my second brother.

We will rush to Heishui Village tonight to discuss important matters. The leaders of each village will attend, and Yang Shixin is the second leader of Huangtu Village and will also go with him."

Xuanyuan Chong nodded and said, "I will arrive on time."

"Second brother, don't you want to know what we are going to discuss tonight?" Shen Xuangan's eyes were deep.

Xuanyuan Chong frowned and said: "The night attack failed. My eldest brother is worried that the officers and soldiers will take advantage of the situation to attack and discuss how to deploy defenses. In addition, Long Ruijun controls Songyang Grassland and may send people to intercept our main road out of the mountain at any time. If it is blocked for a long time, we will not be able to

Going south, we will need to replenish supplies in the future, and I am afraid we will have to contact the Zhenyu tribe in the north. Big brother should be discussing these things."

Shen Xuangan

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

He shook his head and said with a smile: "Second brother is wrong. There is only one purpose for convening the leaders of each village to discuss matters tonight...!" He stared into Xuanyuan Chong's eyes and said word by word: "Kill Xuanyuan!"

The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

After a while, Xuanyuan Chongcai smiled and said: "Third brother, go back and tell your elder brother that I will arrive on time tonight."

"Second brother, didn't you hear what I said clearly?" Shen Xuangan frowned.

Xuanyuan Chong nodded and said: "Listen clearly, elder brother has summoned the leaders of each village to discuss matters tonight."

Shen Xuangan was startled, then smiled bitterly and said, "Second brother doesn't seem to understand."

Xuanyuan Chong said calmly: "Third brother, I understand everything that should be understood."

"Xuanyuan Chong, at this time, you are still pretending to be confused?" Shen Xuangan sneered: "The discussion is fake, they want to lure you into a trap and eradicate you. They have determined that the ghost on the mountain is you.

"

Xuanyuan Chong shook his head and said: "The master knows everything and will not accuse innocent people unjustly." He stared at Shen Xuangan and said: "Why did you tell me this matter?"

"For Black Mountain." Shen Xuangan said lightly: "I just said that Black Mountain can be without anyone, but you are indispensable. If you go there tonight and never come back, Black Mountain will also be in disaster. The 20,000 people on the mountain will be in trouble.

There are many women, children, old and young. Once the officers and soldiers attack Heishan, what will happen to them? Only if you are alive can you save Heishan, and the people on the mountain will not die miserably under the butcher knives of the officers and soldiers."

"Then do you know that you have betrayed them by leaking this matter to me." Xuanyuan Chong stared into Shen Xuangan's eyes with a cold look and said: "The fourth son led troops to attack at night, and the plan was leaked. Was it you?

?”

Shen Xuangan was startled, and then he laughed strangely and said: "If I wanted to betray Heishan, I wouldn't wait until today." He stood up and said, "Yes, this time I will reveal the secret of killing you tonight. I am really sorry.

Big brother, you can stand up to the brothers in Montenegro."

"What do you want?" Xuanyuan Chong said coldly.

"It's not what I want, but what you want." Shen Xuangan put one hand behind his back: "Don't you know, my eldest brother has always been very jealous of you these years. It has always been a big taboo to have great achievements and shock the master. You fight continuously

The brothers in Montenegro will naturally be happy about the winning streak, but only the eldest brother will not be happy. The eldest brother has always regarded Montenegro as his own territory. When he took you in, he only hoped to use you to withstand the encirclement and suppression of the Liaodong Army. But the greater your contribution, the greater your contribution.

, the more respected he is by the brothers, then where will he place the great master?"

Xuanyuan Chong lowered his head and remained silent.

"Don't say that they have determined that you are a traitor. Even if you are not, they will make the mistake this time." Shen Xuan sighed: "Second brother, the boss has already decided to kill you, so if you are in this calamity,

If you can't get through, you will have to lose your head." His face became serious and he said seriously: "But for the sake of the 20,000 people in Montenegro, you must not die in their hands like this. At this point, there is only one way to do it.

Escaped from death."

"any solution?"

Shen Xuangan's eyes were cold and he said calmly: "Second brother is extremely smart, so I don't need to tell you what to do. But once second brother takes action, we, Zijin Village, will advance and retreat together with you!" He raised one hand and swore:

"If you break your oath, you will die without a burial place!"
