......................................................

Early in the morning, after Nie Zheng bid farewell to Wang Gang, Yang Feihu, Jia Xiufang and other leaders who stayed behind in the cottage, he led Zhang Dazhuang and other fifty army volcanic bandits to the wild boar forest sixty miles away.

The wild boar forest is [-] miles away from Heifeng Ridge, and because of the route, the wild boar forest is much closer to Qingzhu Ridge.

If Shenjiazhai had also set off this morning, they might have resisted the wild boar forest an hour or two earlier than Nie Zheng and the others.

Recently, due to the entry of winter, the temperature in the entire Longhu Mountain is getting lower and lower.

And this morning, the sky was dark, there was no sun, and the icy cold wind was blowing non-stop in the mountains. Although Nie Zheng was wearing a fur coat, he still felt a little cold sitting on the horse.

It may be because Nie Zheng was a southerner before his rebirth. He has lived in the south with a warm climate since he was a child, and has never been to the northwest during the cold season. Therefore, compared to other bandits in Heifengzhai, Nie Zheng Zheng should be a little afraid of the cold.

Besides, people like Zhang Dazhuang, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu grew up in Longhu Mountain since they were young, and they are used to the climate here. In addition, they have the foundation of martial arts and fitness, so they can resist the cold. , far surpassing ordinary people like Nie Zheng.

In this way, under the guidance of Zhang Dazhuang and others, Nie Zheng wrapped his head in a leather hat for several hours, and did not arrive at the wild boar forest until the afternoon of that day.

The wild boar forest is actually a valley full of towering trees.

Because in this valley, there will be a large number of wild boars rushing down from the tops of the mountains on both sides of the valley every winter when it snows, so this place has the title of wild boar forest.

Around three o'clock in the afternoon, Nie Zheng's team joined up with the Shen family who were waiting in the wild boar forest.

Before entering the valley, Nie Zheng saw Niu Meng's familiar figure like an iron tower from a distance, waiting at the entrance of the valley.

After seeing my uncle's men and horses arriving, Niu Meng immediately called out to inform the other men and horses in the forest to come out to meet my uncle.

Sure enough, after a while, he saw Yi Zixuan wearing a black fur jacket, leading hundreds of Shen family elites with a white breath, embracing them respectfully.

"Meet my uncle!"

"Young Eagle, you haven't had lunch yet, we just warmed up wine and batter in the woods, so hurry up and eat something to warm your body."

Yi Zixuan and Niu Meng enthusiastically came to Nie Zheng and the others, and led them into the valley.

At this time, Nie Zheng also casually exchanged pleasantries, and then followed Niu Meng and the others into the valley unceremoniously.

Under a sheltered stone wall pit in the valley, several Shen family members were setting firewood there, hanging iron pots and pans and other simple utensils, cooking spirits and batter for warming up.

Seeing this, Nie Zheng immediately got off his horse, walked quickly to the fire, impatiently stretched out his hands, and put them beside the fire to roast.

After sitting on the horseback for so long and being blown by the biting cold wind, Nie Zheng's hands were already numb from the cold.

Seeing this scene, Yi Zixuan who was standing by the side hastily ordered to those minions: "Hurry up and fill a bowl of mush for uncle, and pour a glass of strong wine to warm up."

"Yes, sir."

After several minions heard about it, they immediately and quickly followed suit.

Nie Zheng took the hot wine warm paste handed over by a few minions, and looked around calmly, looking around, but he didn't find Shen Hongyu's beautiful figure, and felt a little strange in his heart.

Yi Zixuan knew who he was looking for, and immediately sat down on the rock next to Nie Zheng, stretched out his hand to pick some firewood from the fire, and said flatly, "Don't look, Hongyu didn't come this time."

"Oh, so she didn't come."

Knowing that Shen Hongyu did not come with him, Nie Zheng was faintly disappointed.

Now that he hasn't seen the woman for a few days, he still misses it a little. It is estimated that the reason why he has not seen a woman for a long time in this strange ancient time after rebirth has caused him to panic now, and his yin and yang are a little out of balance.

Nie Zheng took a sip of the shochu, and suddenly felt a heat flow down his throat all the way to his dantian. In an instant, his whole body became hot.

With the steaming hot paste, Nie Zheng ate every mouthful, pretending not to care and asked casually: "Uncle Yi, why didn't Hongyu go to the alliance meeting together this time?"

Yi Zixuan added a few sticks of firewood to the fire, and said: "Because of the reason for the Sangong some time ago, Hongyu practiced Qi and rested, and it is not suitable to run around. In addition, the cottage needs her guarding, so I didn't come here."

Nie Zheng nodded, and asked with concern, "How long will it take for Hongyu to recover?"

Yi Zixuan turned his head and glanced at him, and said with a half-smile: "You are enlightened now, and you know how to care about your daughter-in-law." Speaking of this, he sighed softly, and said: "Hongyu last time Practicing too impatiently has caused her true energy to flow backwards, and it is estimated that she will not be able to recover in a few months."

Hearing this, Nie Zheng pondered for a moment, and said, "Is there any medicine that can help her recover faster? Last time I went to attack the Changdao Gate, I brought back a lot of medicine from there. I don't know if it can be used. "

Yi Zixuan shook his head and said: "It's useless, ordinary medicine can't solve this problem, and she still has to rely on her to recuperate slowly. By the way, you have to be mentally prepared when you go to Tiger Village this time."

"Mental preparation?"

Nie Zheng was taken aback for a moment, then asked in puzzlement, "What mental preparation?"

Yi Zixuan sighed deeply, and said: "The alliance meeting held by Qiu Xiaotian this time is different from the Jiuzhai League meeting in previous years. The Jiuzhai League meeting in previous years was mainly for those escort car dealers who borrowed from our Nanhu territory. The team worshiped mountain money and borrowed bonuses. At that time, the alliance was formed to share the benefits, to avoid those bodyguard caravans passing through the South Tiger, and to be repeatedly blackmailed and embarrassing by the mountains. At the same time, it was also to protect those bodyguard caravans. The team is no longer harassed by other bandits and rogues. Therefore, every year in the past, the Southern Tiger Nine Villages would hold a regular alliance meeting, so that all the hilltop forces in our Southern Tiger territory have a long-term and stable Survival.

But this time the situation is different. This time Qiu Xiaotian convened the alliance meeting to unite all the bandit forces in the entire Longhu Mountain and prepare to form an elite force to fight against the upcoming Xipinghou army. Therefore, this alliance Once successful, it is estimated that all the bandit forces in the entire Longhu Mountain will follow the leader's order to leave the original mountain and re-establish an unprecedentedly large mountain force.Since we decided to go to the alliance meeting this time, it means that we have agreed with Qiu Xiaotian's plan. Therefore, once the alliance meeting is completed and the leader is successfully elected, according to the rules, everyone in Longhu Mountain must obey the leader's orders Command and order, otherwise, the mountain regulations will be broken, and the entire Longhu Mountain will be expelled and hunted down. "

Hearing this, Nie Zheng nodded and said, "I am very clear about this. Since I have decided to participate in the alliance, I naturally have this mental preparation in my heart."

Yi Zixuan nodded, and sighed helplessly: "Currently, the entire Dragon and Tiger Mountain is in danger, and if you are not careful, any power on the top of the mountain will be in danger of destroying the village at any time. If you want to survive this In crisis, there is no other way but to form an alliance. There are pros and cons to forming an alliance, and now we can only take one step at a time."

As for the real purpose of going to Tiger Village to attend the alliance meeting, Nie Zheng is not ready to tell Yi Zixuan in a hurry.

If Nie Zheng had told Yi Zixuan about his desire to compete for the position of leader of the Dragon and Tiger Alliance, everyone, including Yi Zixuan, would think him crazy.

Maybe, thinking of his safety, Yi Zixuan would definitely decide to give up going to the alliance meeting on the spot and use coercive means to send Nie Zheng back to the cottage.

The members of the Shen family would rather not participate in the alliance meeting than to suffer any harm to my uncle.

Without knowing Nie Zheng's real trump card, no matter who it is, if he dares to challenge Qiu Xiaotian, who has the most competitive power as the leader, at the alliance meeting, he will undoubtedly ask for trouble.

Therefore, before arriving at Tiger Village, Nie Zheng had to keep his purpose of competing for the position of Dragon and Tiger Alliance leader firmly in his heart, and not let anyone know about it.Of course, except for Jia Xiufang.
