Like a sleepless night, the noise and excitement continued until dawn. Soon after the battle of Huo Chuanling broke out, people from all walks of life in Qingmu Village learned about the outcome of the war in different ways. After that came the complicated aftermath, the scolding and shouting that spread throughout the village, and the restrained celebrations of the people in the mountains.

The people who had been sent out returned one after another, and then were scolded one after another. The residents of the village now also knew the news of the victory, and excitedly and joyfully watched this strange triumph in the valley. After that came the aftermath that lasted all night, the return and assembly of the troops, the results after cleaning the battlefield, and amidst the joy and happiness, there were still faint cries...

This movement continued until the east gradually turned white, and then it seemed to be suddenly separated by something and dissipated. In the early morning, the morning dew wet the clothes, and the fresh air made everything appear quiet and empty. In the distant mountains, there was a refreshing mist dissipating. Walking out of the room, the whole heart seemed empty.

Lou Shuwan sat on the wall, watching the residents of the valley below getting up in the morning. After a while, Yu Yulin also came out, looking at the appearance of this valley. They both knew about the battle of Huo Chuanling last night, an unbelievable victory. Lou Shuwan couldn't understand why six thousand people faced a lineup of only twelve hundred people, and were completely defeated in less than an hour. But even if it was unbelievable, she couldn't say anything at the time. The words Ning Yi said, and the slap last night, echoed in her mind, and everything was empty.

As a military general, Yu Yulin saw the whole situation more clearly and thought more clearly. Although he was a little unbelievable at first, after a night, by this morning, he could think of everything he needed to think of.

Even if Luan Sanlang, Chen Zhenhai, and others had many subordinates, they were ultimately just temporarily courageous. This kind of team rushed up when they encountered a soft persimmon, but in the end, they couldn't fight a real tough battle. However, even so, the speed of the collapse of six thousand people facing twelve hundred people was so exaggerated that it could only illustrate from the side that the strength and vigor of this Qingmu Village team were somewhat exaggerated.

Yu Yulin could see some clues from the chaos after they returned last night, because after the main force returned, there were still waves of people who returned to the village later, and they were scolded especially severely, but these people all smiled, obviously not having lost a battle.

On the battlefield, because they rushed too fast and killed too many people, they directly led to detachment from the team, and then they killed a large circle in the mountains before happily returning to the village. In general, you can say that the enemies are too weak, but in fact, everyone cherishes their lives in reality. Even the regular army of the Wu Dynasty often only dares to chase and kill like this when facing unarmed enemies. A team with this kind of active enemy-seeking will, whether the enemies are weak or not is one aspect, but it is indeed a powerful performance in itself.

And the most terrifying thing is that they were still reprimanded after returning, and next, they might have to be punished and their leaders made to write self-criticisms. This proves that the leaders in the mountains were not overwhelmed by a small victory like ordinary mountain villages. Their goal was far more than just this.

In Yu Yulin's view, the only person who could do this and manipulate Qingmu Village of Mount Lüliang to this extent was Ning Rentu from the Secret Intelligence Division, no one else could do it.

He wanted to tell Lou Shuwan some of these things, but he didn't say it in the end. He didn't know the grievances between the two, but this trip to Mount Lüliang was probably destined to have no results when Ning Yi intervened.

In the morning, people successively went up the mountain to visit the leaders of Qingmu Village. Because Blood Bodhisattva was injured, Second Master Zheng Ashuan came forward to receive everyone and appease their emotions. Although there had been some small frictions in Mount Lüliang recently, Qingmu Village was able to quell the situation, and moreover, the attitude and conditions for everyone to do business in Lüliang would not change here, and everyone would be welcome to come.

After the friction last night, Qingmu Village thunderously dispersed the attacks of Luan Sanlang and others. This result was already a good thing. Lou Shuwan didn't plan to visit the leaders on the mountain again, so Yu Yulin and Tian Shi came forward. After meeting Zheng Ashuan, Qingmu Village invited everyone to stay for breakfast. While waiting, Tian Shi went to the back. Yu Yulin knew that he was probably trying to visit Blood Bodhisattva. He walked around outside the hall, and someone came over in the nearby mountain road.

"General Yu, did you sleep well last night?"

Turning his head to look, the person who came was Ning Yi in a white robe. In the morning air, his smile seemed quite amiable.

"Mr. Ning, what a coincidence."

"It's not a coincidence, I came to find General Yu specifically." Ning Yi said with a smile.

Yu Yulin frowned: "Oh, what can Mr. Ning teach me?"

"I wouldn't dare to teach you anything. Ning came to the mountain this time because he wants Mount Lüliang to be better. Although there are some frictions with everyone, I didn't come to be a villain. I hope General Yu can understand this."

Yu Yulin cupped his hands in some confusion and nodded.

"Ning wants to facilitate business with the Tiger King, of course, provided that the Tiger King is willing to submit to the imperial court and become a member of my Wu Dynasty..."

"Wait." Yu Yulin waved his hand, "Mr. Ning should have discussed these things with Miss Lou..."

Ning Yi smiled: "That's right, all the conditions have been proposed to her. However, some grievances often make people dizzy and blind. Regarding business, I will be a little petty first. This is a copy of what I gave to Miss Lou. Don't worry, everything on it is the same. My suggestion is that after General Yu goes back, tell Miss Lou directly that I gave you this thing. You can say that I might want to stir up your relationship, but you confessed it, so she can't cheat, and there will be a lot less trouble."

Yu Yulin looked at the envelope Ning Yi handed over. He had thought that if the numbers on the two documents were different, he might be scheming against Lou Shuwan, but who knew that Ning Yi would actually advise him to confess. In this way, Lou Shuwan would naturally not be able to cheat again, but he would appear a little petty: "In this way, Miss Lou is probably even more resentful of you. Mr. Ning, what exactly is going on between you?"

"An irreconcilable feud. If she is willing to tell, General Yu will know. If she is not willing, then let this matter be buried in her heart. But overall, I have no ill will towards her, and I hope she can live well in the future." Ning Yi cupped his hands, "Then I will trouble General Yu. If we can cooperate, this will be good for both of us."

"Yu understands."

Yu Yulin also cupped his hands. He felt a bit of admiration for this man who was still an enemy last night. After Ning Yi left, he had breakfast in the hall and went down the mountain with Tian Shi, who was in low spirits after running into a wall. After returning to the courtyard, Yu Yulin took out the letter according to Ning Yi's statement - Good feelings are good feelings, but what he said was still the same rhetoric that Ning Yi taught him: Ning Yi might want to frame Lou Shuwan, and he took out the letter proactively. In this way, Lou Shuwan would also owe him a favor.

Sure enough, after pretending to be calm and checking the identical data of the two documents, Lou Shuwan sat there, holding the letter paper, her eyes flushed red. Ning Yi's behavior could be said to be a guarantee in public, and in private, it was a distrust of a gentleman with the heart of a petty person. Yu Yulin silently put away his letter and went out. Although this time he failed, he still admired Lou Shuwan's ability and knew that Lou Shuwan would be useful at the Tiger King's place. He was willing to pull a favor, but he had no interest in her grievances with her inner demon in private matters.

The most important thing is that, if possible, he didn't want to be an enemy of this guy nicknamed inner demon. He always felt that he was considerate and could calculate everything.

On this morning, many people, including the Great Brightness Sect, had already bid farewell to Qingmu Village and left the mountain. Because of the great victory last night, and the fight that broke out in the Gathering Righteousness Hall, from last night to this morning, out of concern for Blood Bodhisattva, many people in the mountains were already eager to move, holding grudges and wanting to attack the people of the Great Brightness Sect. Lin Zongwu, no matter how highly he regarded himself, would not stay in this dangerous place for long. After maintaining enough face, he openly bid farewell to Qingmu Village, and Ning Yi, who temporarily did not intend to mention the plan to kill him, appeared even more magnanimous. The two sides sent people down the mountain after a "friendly exchange."

Turning around, Ning Yi had people spread the word in Mount Lüliang that the Great Brightness Sect Master Lin Zongwu had been defeated by Blood Bodhisattva - you have such a big reputation, you stepped on a mountain and left in a panic. If you say it's a tie, who would believe it...

Anyway, there were not many witnesses, and Blood Bodhisattva didn't lose. After Lin Zongwu left, who would dare to tell the truth in Mount Lüliang...

And on this afternoon, after things calmed down a little, what appeared in the training camp behind Qingmu Mountain was not a celebration, but a funeral, self-criticisms, and the execution of military law.

After praising some soldiers who fought bravely and giving them two pounds of meat and a small iron medal, what was announced next was the list of companions who were confirmed to have died last night. Some of the corpses were found and placed in front of the square. Then several battalion commanders and company commanders were called to the front to carry out military sticks. Some of them had also been praised just now and received meat and medals.

"...We won the battle yesterday, and some people performed very bravely. We don't want to erase these merits. But at the same time, the battle yesterday was also a mess!" Han Jing, the most skilled in training soldiers among the village leaders, said loudly on the wooden platform, with Ning Yi's views and suggestions written in his sleeves, passed on in Hong Ti's name. After reading it several times, he recited many of the words on it.

"...Is it okay to win?! Is it okay if it doesn't look like many people died?! Our brothers and companions could have died less! Did you see the way these brothers' family members cried last night and this morning? When others are happy, they can only cry at home. Some people can only pretend to be very happy. Fan Meng's mother from the Third Battalion, she always brought some fruits for you to eat when you were training. She kept looking for Fan Meng last night. When she saw the body this morning, she cried and said to me that the village was defended and everyone would be fine... Is it really fine! Her son is dead! He's not coming back—"

Han Jing waved his arms and shouted loudly, his eyes already a little wet.

"You each have only one life, and each brother also has only one life. We grew up in Mount Lüliang, and it's no problem to risk our lives, but the purpose of risking our lives is to live! Why are Qi Qianjun and Zheng Ashi being beaten today? They were the bravest when the fight broke out yesterday! But as your captains, they are not qualified! Because when we are risking our lives outside, they not only have to think about risking their lives, but also have to think about how to bring back even one more brother's life while ensuring victory! So, they are captains. Qi Qianjun, tell me, are you worthy of Fan Meng's mother?"

On the side, the man named Qi Qianjun lying on the bench lowered his head and did not speak. After a moment, he said in a rough voice: "I was wrong, I am willing to be punished!"

Han Jing turned his head back and took a breath: "Of course, you will say that this is the first time you have gone out to fight after training, and some things have no experience, can't be controlled, and it's okay to win... But in fact, we haven't even met a powerful opponent yet. Right now, there are more than two thousand people wandering in the north of Lüliang. They are the former Liao army. You can be so powerful against these guys like Luan Sanlang, what about them? Can you be lucky? In any battle, we must learn from experience. Everyone should think about the mistakes we made this time! How to stay calm! How to maintain cooperation with the brothers around us! How to prevent this kind of thing from happening again yesterday! Tonight, you will all do self-criticisms, in small teams, everyone should think about it and then say what you think can be done better! Finally, unify it and then do a self-criticism together..."

When the military sticks began to be beaten with a crack, Han Jing came down from the wooden platform, quite satisfied with his speech. Cao Qianyong followed behind: "Old Five, I didn't realize you could talk so well. It always feels very reasonable, but the flavor is a bit strange..."

Han Jing took the paper out of his sleeve: "Following what it says on this, damn it, I also feel a bit pretentious. Third Brother, do you think Fourth Brother is more suitable to come and say these things..."

The second and fourth elders of Qingmu Village focus on administration, and the third and fifth focus on military affairs. Cao Qianyong took the paper and looked at it: "Tsk, this Ning Rentu... Hey, do you think his affair with Hong Ti is a bit troublesome..."

The discussion between the two at this time had a reason. Since the news spread last night, Ning Yi's name and stories about him finally began to spread widely in Qingmu Village.

Originally, Ning Yi came to Qingmu Village as an outsider. Even if he announced his relationship with Hong Ti to some of the core members of Qingmu Village, these people still had a layer of estrangement from Ning Yi. If not, a large group of people would come to Qingmu Village to force the palace. Qingmu Village could also publicize that we also have a strong support, the head of the Secret Intelligence Division, Ning Rentu, who is feared in the Jianghu. The development and training of Qingmu Village has been influenced by him... Due to this layer of estrangement, his identity has not been used here.

Ning Yi also originally planned to take a period of time to eliminate this estrangement. Who knew that after the battle last night, the situation slid in a direction that everyone had not originally expected. The Great Brightness Sect Master Lin challenged Blood Bodhisattva. As his own village leader, and also a woman, she was eventually injured. In the end, the person the village leader was originally going to marry stabilized the situation.

And in Lin Zongwu's mouth, the marriage of his own village leader was said to be extremely unpleasant, falsely claiming that the two even had a master-disciple relationship, spitting blood! How could anyone tolerate their own village leader being bullied to this extent!

In the spread of these rumors, Ning Yi's identity was finally completely dug up, and the past events of Qingmu Village, his guidance on training, and the incredibly magical firearms he brought this time were all spread. Because of these things, the original estrangement was transformed into a hatred of the enemy in one day, and this Young Master Ning also became the most watched guest in Qingmu Village for a time.

However, not many people can see him.

At night, when Zheng Ashuan walked into the courtyard, he saw Ning Yi, who was peeling an apple by the bedside in Hong Ti's room. The scholar looked up and nodded to him. He then nodded and went to Liang Bingfu's room.

As the Second Village Leader of Qingmu Village, Zheng Ashuan looked like an honest farmer. His martial arts were not high, and his ability to handle affairs was only above average, but he had been in charge of things for many years, and slowly, he became the general manager of Qingmu Village. Walking into the room, he reported various things that had happened in Qingmu Village to Liang Bingfu. Due to the busyness of these two days, this report was said intermittently for a very long time. After finishing, Liang Bingfu smiled.

"I heard that Stone was beaten." Zheng Ashuan's son, Zheng Stone, is the captain of the Fifth Battalion of Qingmu Village.

Zheng Ashuan said: "He did something wrong, so being beaten is a good thing. He also said when he came home today that he was sorry for the dead brothers, and that some brothers could have not died..."

Liang Bingfu shook his head with a smile: "No matter what, it's a good thing to win."

Zheng Ashuan said: "It's a good thing that he came back safely."

"Yeah." Liang Bingfu nodded, thought for a while, and looked up and said, "Brother Ashuan, let me ask you something, what do you think of Liheng?"

"Uh... Brother Liang, what are you talking about..."

"Ahem, I mean, Liheng has come to the mountains, and now the crisis has been resolved. What he will be involved in next is actually the things in your hands, some mundane affairs in the village, arranging people to manage things, open up fields, repair houses, etc. Do you think it's not good for him to interfere like this, or that he has taken your power..."

Generally speaking, this kind of thing cannot be said explicitly. Therefore, after Liang Bingfu said it, Zheng Ashuan's face changed, and he repeatedly shook his head: "No, no, no, how could that be? Don't I know my abilities? Young Master Ning is a very capable person, of course I won't think..."

"Brother Ashuan, what I said is not really about thinking about this." Seeing Zheng Ashuan's defense, Liang Bingfu waved his hand with a smile, and coughed twice, "People from the outside have suddenly come, we don't want to, sometimes the people below start small frictions, and there are inevitably some nails, some things are human nature, cannot be avoided, of course I also know Brother Ashuan's capacity, you will definitely not trip him up, but this matter is not enough just like this, I want Brother Ashuan to think in another direction."

"Uh?"

Zheng Ashuan was a little confused and didn't understand what the old man was saying. Liang Bingfu took a sip of tea, thought for a while, and then continued to speak.

"Brother Ashuan, do you think... I am considered capable?"

"Brother Liang, you have been here for so long, without you, Qingmu Village would be gone, of course you are capable." Zheng Ashuan said.

Liang Bingfu shook his head: "You are wrong, in fact, I have mediocre qualifications, I am not a very capable person. The reason why I can support Qingmu Village for so long is for responsibility. You also know that I came from outside the mountain when I was young. Let me tell you, there are too many capable people outside the mountain who have studied. Liheng is good, and his superior Prime Minister Qin Siyuan is also good. They are the most capable people. Ashuan, my time is running out..."

"Brother Liang, you..."

"No, no, no, listen to me, I know that my time is running out. Qingmu Village, after I leave, is handed over to Hong Ti. In fact, you are helping to support it by her side. We are on this dividing line, living in uncertainty. We don't know what the future will be like. We think we are powerful now, maybe one day the rain will beat the wind and it will be gone... Brother Ashuan, whether it's you and me, or our children and grandchildren, it's most important to have our own abilities. While Liheng is here, you not only have to cooperate with him, but also have to let people learn skills from him..."

The old man swallowed, paused, "Young Master Ning, he is not limited to a place like Lüliang. You have to think more. As long as your Stone, girl and others learn a little bit from him, it will be useful in the future..."

He said this, and thought again. Liang Bingfu was old after all, and sometimes his thoughts couldn't keep up. After spacing out for a while, he said: "The world outside, the people Liheng and they are in contact with, are all sophisticated people. I want Hong Ti to be able to live well in the future, but who can say for sure, maybe something bad will happen, and this Young Master Ning will have some accident... So you, when you can learn, follow him more to learn. After all, my ability is limited, I can't teach you much, what you can learn from Liheng is the future road of Qingmu Village..."

Old people always want to leave their seeds, but they understand that their abilities are limited. At this point, the old man is still thinking about the future path of Qingmu Village. Zheng Ashuan nodded: "Brother Liang, I understand what you mean, don't worry." He usually uses ordinary titles with the old man, but at this time he still used "you."

The old man smiled: "Also, I heard that his story is being spread in the village..."

"Yeah, because of Hong Ti's injury last night, Young Master Ning's reputation has already spread."

"It's not enough just like this, this is a good opportunity." The old man said, "Last night, Hong Ti didn't want to get married because of the rumors about the master-disciple relationship that Sect Master Lin said..."

Zheng Ashuan was stunned: "This... how can this work..."

"So, you also go out and talk about this. This Sect Master Lin not only ruins people's reputation, but also ruins people's marriage. Liheng has a big career outside, and Hong Ti doesn't want to get married in order not to let this rumor affect him. In the end, our Qingmu Village was slapped in the face... You just go out and say it like this."

"Then their affairs... really..."

The night was getting deeper. The rear mountain military camp was still doing self-criticisms. In the houses in the valley, the lights were all filled with longing and joy. In the small courtyard, the lights were still on in the old man's room. Far, far away from Qingmu Village, in some camps in the mountains, someone came out and looked and talked in the direction of Qingmu Village. They could no longer see the lights of Qingmu Village, but in that direction, it always made people feel that a huge force had already broken out of its shell, and in the future, I don't know what kind of force it would become.

Or, will it become an enemy or a friend...

From the distant mountains, there came the howling of wolves...
