The wind blows from the other side of the valley, with a biting coolness. A lonely pine on the cliff stands straight in the cold wind without moving, only the green pine needles make a rustling sound in the wind.

Zhou Deming knelt on the cliff with a long knife and shouted to the valley: "Dad, mother, I'm back! Here today, I'm going to cut off the heads of my enemies and avenge you!"

Facing the wind, the sound echoed in the valley and did not dissipate for a long time.

When Qiyuan Prefecture was captured by Jiaozhi, Zhou Deming's father was killed. His mother took Zhou Deming to the mountain and escaped his life. The people of Jiaozhi retreated. The mother wanted to contact her family to support Zhou Deming's restoration, but the Nong family in Guangyuan Prefecture attacked again. Zhou Deming, the only one in the family, escaped by chance.

The bodies of my father and mother were thrown into the misty valley in front of me, and were washed away by the turbulent river water to somewhere, and there was no place to look for them.

Now Zhou Deming returns to Qiyuan Prefecture with Sang Yi's army, the first thing he does is to avenge his parents.

Standing up, Zhou Deming came to the side of the person who was tied up, kneeling on the ground, and cursed: "The ambition of your wolf-like things in your family have harmed the lives of many people in the mountains in the past few years! Today it fell into my hands, avenged my parents and also eliminated a disaster for the mountains!"

Nong Cunkang spat: "If you want to kill, kill it, be more enjoyable! He is not like a man in our mountains at all! You have been in the territory of the Han people for the past few years and have been infected with the problems of the Han people!"

"Bah! You harm women and children, and you are still called men!"

"It's so nonsense! In the mountains, you have been killing me for thousands of years, and I have killed me. Those who are capable occupy other people's territory and sleep with other people's wives. It's natural to do it! Today it falls into your hands, and you just chop me up a little bit, what's the matter!"

"You are still very stubborn when you die!"

"That's natural! Even if you kill me, I look down on you! If you have the ability, you bring your own people to retake Qiyuanzhou, and I have nothing to say. But you just borrowed the troops of the Han people and took them back. Colluding with the Han people to attack us barbarians is such a good man!"

Zhou Deming sneered, stepped forward and stepped on Nong Cunkang's shoulder: "Don't you agree? Then just go underground and act like a hero again! Take me a knife!"

After saying that, he raised his hand and cut off Nong Cunkang's head with one knife.

After killing his enemy, Zhou Deming knelt on the ground to worship his parents, and kicked Nong Cunkang's body down the valley.

The sky is cloudy and you can't see the sun. Only the mountain wind blows from all directions, with a biting chill.

Zhou Deming looked at the mountains in the distance and looked lonely. He had to take revenge. He left a stone in his heart, but he also felt a loss that he had never been before.

Nong Cunkang was right. He was no longer a man in the mountains. After he got to know this, he started his new life again outside the mountains.

Men in the mountains, are men in the mountains very amazing? Or is it a noble thing not to regard human life as human life? There is too much blood in this mountain, so I will leave.

Facing the wind, Zhou Deming let out a sigh, shouted, turned around and left, never looking back.

The prefecture of Qiyuan Prefecture is not in the valley, but on the hillside. The agriculture in this area is still very underdeveloped, and the valley does not have an advantage over the hillside.

At this time, the city of Qiyuanzhou was full of messes, with people shouting, horses neighing, and roaring.

Sang Yi's army did not enter the city, but camped in the valley. Zhou Deming brought only more than a hundred soldiers assigned by Sang Yi, who happened to be able to keep an eye on the yamen and granaries.

The ones who rushed around the city were not the official army of the Song Dynasty, but several other major tribes that turned over, including the Zhou family to which Zhou Deming belonged. After several years of cowardice, they turned over one day, and all the resentment of these people broke out in these days. All the people from Guangyuanzhou were caught and searched for their families.

Zhou Deming walked past the village road, and from time to time, local soldiers who were arrogant on the street greeted him, and his words were full of affection and admiration. He could rise up again with his tribe, and he was respected by the people in the mountains, not to mention that he was the next governor.

With the support of the Song Dynasty government and the support of its own tribe, Qiyuan Prefecture will be Zhou Deming's Qiyuan Prefecture in the future. Regardless of whether it is the surname Zhou or not, the local tribes who have turned over again will recognize this.

Only Zhou Deming himself knew that the Song Dynasty would no longer allow the unearth of the emperor in such a critical place, and after seeing the life outside the mountain, Zhou Deming was also not interested in being the local emperor here.

When they returned to the yamen, several officials from the big surnames were waiting in the official hall.

Seeing Zhou Deming come back and looking at the blood on the steel knife in his hand, an old man with a gray beard asked excitedly: "Zhou Family, have you killed that thief?"

Zhou Deming said: "Yes, I cut off the head of the Nong family dog ​​thief and sacrificed my parents' spirits in heaven!"

"Okay, okay, the Zhou family is killed well!" The old man nodded repeatedly, "The great revenge has been avenged, and the power of the Nong family here has been wiped out. From now on, Qiyuanzhou will still belong to my Zhou family!"

The old man's face turned red with excitement, and even tears appeared in his eyes.

Zhou Deming issued a military order to Xu Ping, asking these mountain tribes to serve the Song army, which was also his chance to prove his value. So he skipped the future arrangements and said loudly: "Now there are large imperial troops stationed outside the mountain, and we are going to attack Guangyuanzhou all the way. It is the time for us to serve the imperial court!"

"What are the benefits of serving the imperial court?"

A rough man shouted loudly, it was the head of the Li family in the big family.

It is a benefit to speak, and there is no awareness of being a minister at all. It is indeed the mountain people I remember. But I don’t know, as long as the benefits are good, why should the court give you free benefits? There are thousands of soldiers and strong combat power, and you will fight it yourself. You don’t need to use these local soldiers.

After calming down, Zhou Deming said: "As soon as the official army arrives, the Nong family in Guangyuanzhou will inevitably be surrendered. Before I came, the inspector told me that the official army will only attack Guangyuanzhou, and the other places will be handed over to us. You all know that Gufudong, Wuweidong, and even Wanyazhou, Silangzhou, etc. rely on the forces of the Nong family to gain a foothold in Zhoudong. Once the Nong family falls, these places become homeless places!"

"Everyone, many of these prefectures and caves have accumulated countless wealth. If you take them, you can make up for the losses you have been bullied by the Nong family in recent years. Whether to take them or not depends on your thoughts. I am willing to work hard. I have won a lot of effort for you to fight for this opportunity from the official army, so I have squandered a lot of effort, so don't waste it!"

When the head of the Li family heard this, he said angrily: "It's not the official army that asked us to go to war, but there is no benefit for us! As for the population, money and food that were captured in the local area, it was ours, and when will it be considered a reward from the court? Yanei, you are a bit of a bully. It's obviously the official army begging us to help fight, but you say it's the official army's grace, and your heart is still with our barbarians in the mountains!"

Zhou Deming sneered: "Why do the official army ask you? Once the Nong family is defeated, will these places dare to oppose the imperial court? They will naturally surrender to the Song Dynasty, and the official army does not need to take a single knife or a shot!"

Looking at everyone, Zhou Deming raised his voice and said, "I asked you for this opportunity. Would you like to seize it? The inspector asked me to say it in front. If there are other states and caves to the court, they are not allowed to invade again. Violators Guangyuanzhou are an example! You should consider it clearly for yourself!"
