Chapter 178 [Something Happened] (1)
Zhuo suddenly turned around. When he saw Luo Lie standing outside the fence, he could hardly believe his eyes. He walked out with great strides. His bloody hands grabbed Luo Lie's arms without hesitation, and said happily: "Luo Lie, it's you, it's you? Haha! I knew you would definitely come, you are here!"
Luo Lie smiled and said, "I have to fulfill my promises after I promised Mr. Zhuo, let alone Mr. Zhuo helped me so much. I should come here to thank you in person, whether it is reasonable or not."
Zhuo Yishou laughed loudly and pointed out without hesitation: "I don't have that much charm. Brother Luo is the drunkard, and he is not in the bar?"
Luo Lie smiled and said, "I came from afar and wanted to ask the gentleman for a glass of wine."
Zhuo Yishou said, "I will never return without getting drunk!" He and Luo Lie returned to his residence. The place where Zhuo Yishou lives is not the same as the clinic. It is located in the hilly area east of the town. There is a stone house standing alone on the hillside facing south and north. The house is made of rocks on the ground. The white stone house and the green grass complement each other. Standing in front of the door, you can see the town at the foot of the mountain.
Luo Lie also brought some gifts here and picked two packs of the best Mingqian Longjing. These gifts are not uncommon in the Central Plains, but they are precious gifts here. Zhuo immediately boiled water and made tea, and took a sip of tea, which was very comfortable.
Luo Lie is indifferent. Although he came here this time to meet Yan Tianxin, he didn't think much about this along the way. Now he has come to the foot of Yabulai Mountain. The closer he is to Yan Tianxin, the more intense the concern in his heart. Seeing Zhuo only caring for tea, but not mentioning Yan Tianxin's recent situation, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Take out a cigarette, take out one to light it, Gu Yan said, "Why does Mr. Zhuo live here alone?"
Zhuo Yishou smiled mysteriously and said, "Guess!"
Luo Lie smiled and said, "Save death and help the wounded, care about the people."
Zhuo Yishou laughed and said, "It's right to care about the animals." He narrowed his eyes like a fox and looked at the purple Yabulay Mountain in the distance: "The boss is not here, she has gone to Xinman City."
Luo Lie heard that Yan Tianxin was not here. He originally thought he was about to meet her, but he didn't expect that he would come from all the way. He couldn't meet her when he got here. He felt disappointed. He didn't say much on the surface and said softly: "When will you come back?"
Zhuo shook his head with his hands, his expression suddenly became solemn, and he whispered: "The boss has been there for more than ten days, so logically he should be back."
Luo Lie's heart sank and suddenly remembered the things that Zahe had told him before. It seemed that Yan Tianxin and the others were not optimistic. He had learned some news from Wu Jie before, but had not heard of these things. It seemed that Yan Tianxin had concealed something and reported good news but not bad news.
Zhuo sighed, and then he explained the situation after they came here thousands of miles away. They came to Ganbian to join Yan Tuojiang, but they never thought that Yan Tuojiang had been wiped out by his subordinates and became a puppet. Now the real master of the country is Yan Tuojiang's former subordinate Ma Yongping. He was polite to Yan Tianxin and others on the surface. But behind his back, he arranged troops to capture all the tribesmen of Lianyun Village. Fortunately, Yan Tuojiang found an opportunity to give Yan Tianxin a hint. Yan Tianxin saw through his vicious intentions in advance and escaped in time with his subordinates.
Ma Yongping refused to let them go, sent troops to chase them, and chased them all the way to Yabulay Mountain. Yan Tianxin led his tribe members to defeat them three times. With the easy defense and difficult attack of Yabulay Mountain, they took root here. However, they escaped in a hurry, and many important things were lost in Xinman City and fell into Ma Yongping's hands. Yan Tianxin went here just to find out the news, and mainly wanted to find an opportunity to rescue his uncle.
As for Zhuo staying in Yabulai Town, he was equivalent to setting up an outpost here. After all, he is a Mongolian and good at medical skills, so he can easily get along with the local people.
Luo Lie couldn't help but feel a little worried after hearing him. Yan Tuojiang has lost power now and Ma Yongping has great power. It's not easy to save people from him.
Zhuo Yishou said: "You must have suffered a lot of hard work along the way, right?"
Luo Lie nodded and talked about his experience on the way. When talking about the bandits encountered in the Tengger Desert, Zhuo Yishou heard the name of the bandit leader and immediately knew where those people came from. Those people were a group of bandits who were entrenched in Yabulai Mountain in the past, making a living by robbing passers-by merchants. The bandit leader's name was Tan Tiande. The people Luo Lie encountered were led by his precious son Tan Zicong.
After Yan Tianxin led the tribe members of Lianyun Village to escape from Xinman City, Ma Yongping asked someone to inform Tan Tiande and asked him to lead his men to block the attack on the way. Yan Tianxin took advantage of the trick and took advantage of the bandits' full nest to go around them and rob their nests.
It was too late when Tan Tiande and his men discovered it. They attacked Yabulai Mountain and wanted to regain Huangsha Village. This time they lost even worse. Not only did they fail to regain the village, but more than half of them were killed or injured. Tan Tiande had no choice but to go to join Ma Yongping, and now he was also granted an official position. However, Ma Yongping was extremely cunning. Although he had real power, he was not in a hurry to replace Yan Tuojiang's position publicly. He did everything on the banner of Yan Tuojiang. He did a lot of bad things that were despicable during this period, but all of this was counted on Yan Tuojiang by the local people who were unknown. Therefore, Yan Tuojiang's reputation also took a sharp turn.
Luo Lie became more worried about Yan Tianxin when he heard this. Although he had never met Ma Yongping, he had already learned the power of this person's method from Zhuo's description. What's more, Ma Yongping has the power of time, place, and people. It is almost impossible to reverse the situation in such adversity.
Luo Lie put out the cigarette and whispered: "Yan Tuojiang is not an ordinary person to be able to reach his current position. How could he be influenced by Ma Yongping?"
Zhuo sighed and said, "Heroes are sad to pass the beauty. If Tuojiang is bad, it will be bad for women. Ma Yongping and Tuojiang have another relationship. He is his brother-in-law." He was so angry that he hit the table.
Luo Lie said: "What do others think?" Although he had never seen Yan Tianxin, he had already speculated that Yan Tianxin might not be able to obtain unanimous support from his tribe in this matter. The people from Lianyun Village finally came here. They longed for a stable life and fought to protect the home they just obtained. They would definitely do their best. However, if they fought against an army that was countless times stronger than them for Yan Tuojiang, they might not be willing to take risks.
Zhuo Yishou said: "Tuojiang is probably in danger." Yan Tuojiang has been completely undermined. Once he loses the value of utilization, Ma Yongping will get rid of him without hesitation. Zhuo Yishou asked about Luo Lie's experience after leaving, and he was most concerned about Fang Kewen's affairs. Luo Lie did not hide it from him and briefly told him about the changes after Fang Kewen left the Nine Netherworld Secret Realm. Luo Lie had already known that Zhuo Yishou should have expected the changes that happened to Fang Kewen in the future, so he recommended them to go to Wu Jie's office for a follow-up visit. In fact, it was through Wu Jie's help to confirm whether the two were possessed by Hei Sha.
After hearing Luo Lie's words, Zhuo Yishou nodded and said, "The Nine Nether Secret Realm is really evil. What I worry about finally happened." He looked at Luo Lie. In fact, Zhuo Yishou was also worried that Luo Lie would become one of the people possessed by the Black Evil. But judging from Luo Lie's current situation, there should be no problem. He was willing to take Luo Lie's pulse, but after thinking about it, he gave up. After all, it was not polite to make such a request as soon as he met.
Luo Liedao: "Have Mr. Wu been here?"
Zhuo shook his head and said, "He has always been in his work but not in his head, and I don't know where he is."
Luo Lie frowned. When Wu Jie left Peiping, he told himself that he was coming here in person, but he had already arrived, and he still had no news. He probably changed his mind again. If Wu Jie came over, he would have met Zhuo. Luo Lie thought of Yan Tianxin again, and Yan Tianxin was also one of the people who had entered the Jiuyou Secret Realm. He was a little worried and said, "How is the shopkeeper Yan okay after leaving?"
Zhuo Yishou knew what he was worried about and smiled and said, "The boss is very good, you don't have to worry." Seeing that it was getting late, Zhuo Yishou proposed to take Luo Lie out for dinner.
As soon as the two left Zhuo Yishou's stone house, they saw a horse galloping from afar. It was immediately a young man, one of Yan Tianxin's right-hand assistants. Dong Fangming, the captain of the investigation team in Lianyun Village, did not feel anything, but Zhuo Yishou was obviously surprised, because Yan Tianxin went to Xinman Camp this time and took Dong Fangming with him. Now Yan Tianxin has not come back. Dong Fangming is here alone, and an ominous sign suddenly appears in his heart.
Dong Fangming was still in front of them, and his body shook on the horse. He fell from the horse and his foot was still hanging on the stirrup. Fortunately, his mount was extremely spiritual and did not run forward wildly, but stopped in time to avoid harm to him.
Zhuo Yishou and Luo Lie hurriedly went up to meet him. Luo Lie came first and took Dong Fangming's foot from the stirrups first.
Zhuo Yishou and Luo Lie put Dong Fangming back to his stone house and placed it on the bed. Dong Fangming woke up again now. The first thing he did when he woke up was to grab Zhuo Yishou's arm and said, "Mr. Zhuo... hurry up... go and save the boss..."
Luo Lie couldn't help but sank, and something happened to Yan Tianxin.
Zhuo Yishou has been through a long period of storm, so he has not been confused. He comforted Dong Fangming and said, "You don't have to worry, just take a break." He turned around and poured a cup of tea.
