Chapter 11 Return to Huzhai

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the night is already deep.

At this time, it was originally the time for sleep, but the second largest tiger village in the Damian Mountains was brightly lit, and piles of huge bonfires were burning. The red flames dispelled the darkness, and the whole tiger village was illuminated. It's like daylight.

In the gigantic Martial arts arena that can accommodate tens of thousands of people, there are black and dense heads everywhere, and there are huge crowds of people, almost all the people from Huzhai gathered here.However, so many people gathered here, but there was no sound of noise, as if there was a heavy stone on everyone's heart, making them unwilling to talk!
At this moment, the only sound in the huge square is the "crackling" sound of flames from the piles of burning huge bonfires.

Although the whole Huzhai was brightly lit, everyone present seemed to be covered with a thick layer of dark shadow, just like the darkness under the huge bonfire that could never be illuminated by the firelight.

The atmosphere in Huzhai was extremely depressing, so depressing that it was suffocating!

The reason for this depression is that the clansmen in Huzhai got a fact that they didn't want to believe but had to believe: the owner of Huzhai betrayed Huzhai, and joined forces with the Qin people to trap and kill the elders, who seriously injured the three spirits. Wei Zhan died.

This news was like a bolt from the blue to the people of Huzhai.

It was the first time that the village owner betrayed Huzhai and designed to trap and kill the elders since Huzhai established the village for more than two hundred years. Moreover, it was also involved in the behemoth Qin State. Deep anxiety and worry! ! !
The eyes of the uneasy clansmen were all focused on the front of the Martial Arts Field. It was a high platform made of giant trees, and there were dozens of people on it, and one of them was sitting on a wooden chair covered with soft animal skins. , full of silver hair, pale and gloomy.

This person is Li Kang who returned to Huzhai, and his current identity is Li Chunshan, the elder of Huzhai.

Beside Li Kang was the bald Jingwei Li Tian covered with scars and the old Orion with a serious face. The rest of the people were some real power figures in Huzhai, and their faces were also gloomy.

On the high wooden board in front of them, there were three corpses covered with white cloths. They were the three great Jingwei who died to protect the elders.

Li Kang lowered his eyes and looked at the three Jingwei who were covering the white cloth and laying quietly on the high platform with eyes full of grief. Then, he raised his head and looked at the dark Huzhai people under the high platform.

He had just told the clansmen the news that Li Ba and his son had betrayed Huzhai, and he also told the clansman what he had done in conjunction with the Qin people to trap and kill the elders.

Li Kang grasped the handles on both sides of the wooden chair with both hands, the veins in his hands were bulging, he staggered up his old body, and said in a hoarse and steady voice: "My clansmen, Huzhai It is not easy to develop from a small village at the end of Mianshan 200 years ago to the second largest village in Mianshan today. Huzhai has experienced ups and downs for more than [-] years, and there have been no less than [-] major and minor crises. From the battle of Qingfengzhai at the beginning, to the battle with the blood demon, and... finally to the battle with Heilongzhai, the No. The ancestors of Huzhai survived with one heart and one mind.

Moreover, every time our Huzhai goes through a battle, we can continue to grow stronger after the battle, and continue to grow stronger in the wind and rain.Therefore, although Huzhai is in the most difficult time this time, I hope that the clansmen will follow in the footsteps of their ancestors, bravely defend our Huzhai, and fight to the end with all enemies that threaten the survival of Huzhai!
The old man believes that as long as my people are united as one, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome, and there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome.

Do you have the confidence to defend the Huzhai together with the old man and let the Huzhai be passed on for thousands of years? "

Li Kang's words were resounding, and after he finished speaking, the martial arts arena was silent, and everyone fell into memory and contemplation. After a few breaths, violent shouts broke out on the scene, and the shouts shook the heavens and the earth.

"Swear to the death to defend Huzhai with the elders!"

"Swear to the death to defend Huzhai with the elders!"

"Swear to the death to defend Huzhai with the elders!"

"Swear to the death to defend Huzhai with the elders!"

……

Li Tian, ​​the bald guard next to Li Kang, flushed with excitement, waved his fists and shouted vigorously despite his injuries: "Swear to the death to defend the Tiger Village with the elders!"

Except for the old Orion and a few people on the stage, everyone else was shouting excitedly and waving their fists
This cry is the unyielding will of the people in Huzhai, the manifestation of the spiritual backbone of the people in Huzhai, and the foundation for the continuation of Huzhai in the precarious weather.

At this moment, what Li Kang did was to ignite the most intense emotion buried in the hearts of the people: the deep attachment and love for Huzhai.He heard the cry from the heart of the clansmen, and a rare relieved smile appeared on his old and gloomy face.

He raised his hands flat to signal the clansmen in the martial arts arena to be quiet.

The clansmen saw the elder's raised hands and knew the elder's intentions, so they tried their best to suppress the surging emotions in their hearts, looked at the elder quietly, and waited for his order.

Li Kang made a steady voice and praised: "This is the son and daughter of our Huzhai. Every person in Huzhai should have a passion and an unyielding backbone."

As soon as he finished speaking, suddenly on the high platform there was a big man with a pair of triangular eyes wearing animal skin and a necklace of animal teeth. He walked out of the queue with a worried face and came to the elder, looking into his eyes, Youyou sighed and said: "Elder, there are some things... I don't know if I should say it or not, but... I feel depressed and panic if I don't say it!"

Li Kang took a deep look at the big man with triangular eyes. He recognized him as Li Li, the captain of the fourth Huzhai hunting team. It's okay to say!"

When Li Li heard this, there was a sly look in those pair of triangular eyes, and then he cleared his throat and said loudly:

"Elder, let me just say it... Although your words are full of blood and passion, the reality we are facing is cold and cruel. Now, we not only have to face the powerful enemy of Heilongzhai, but also have to face Facing the giant of the Great Qin Dynasty, so... I think the elders should carefully consider the next foreign strategy of Huzhai, and not fight head-on with Heilongzhai and the Great Qin Dynasty, because it is hitting a stone with an egg... If it really doesn't work, go to Qin It’s not necessarily a stopgap measure.”

As soon as Li Li finished speaking, the entire square became silent, and everyone fell into silence again...

Then, he bowed his head towards Li Kang and bowed his hands, with sharp eyes shining in his triangular eyes, he said loudly: "Elder, if you feel that my words have broken people's hearts, you can kill me now and take my body I fed it to wild animals, and I have no complaints. But... I still insist on my idea, I am thinking about the overall situation of Huzhai, and I don't want the foundation created by our ancestors to be destroyed in our hands!"

His tone seemed "very sincere", and his voice was so loud that tens of thousands of people who were quiet in the huge martial arts arena could hear his words clearly. Suddenly, there was a brief silence among the clansmen under the high platform, and then It's a whispered discussion...

"Captain Li Li's words are also reasonable. After all, compared with the Great Qin Dynasty, Huzhai is really too weak."

"Yes, no, I think Li Li's words have some truth."

"If we go head-to-head with the Great Qin Dynasty, it will really hit a stone with an egg. We can't do this kind of thing!"

"We must not let the foundation of our ancestors be destroyed in the hands of our generation, and we must not fight against the Qin Dynasty!"

"Hmph, you bastards, Li Li's words are heartbreaking!"

"I said, if the ancestors of Huzhai had Li Li's thoughts, there would be no Huzhai today!"

"Hey, it makes sense to say that!"

……

Li Li's words and the discussions from the audience all reached Li Kang's ears. He frowned slightly when he heard the words, and stared at Li Li in front of him with sharp eyes for a long time: "What a good one!" Li Li, who harbored evil intentions, said such words at this time, causing the clansmen to fall into the quagmire of pessimism again, obliterating their will... It really is killing without blood!

At this moment, the bald Jingwei next to Li Kang had an angry expression on his face, a pair of copper bells and big eyes were red, and there was a "clang" sound, and the sharp broadsword on his back was unsheathed, and he was holding the broadsword tightly regardless of the injury. Stepping in front of Li Li, he shouted: "You Li Ba's running dog, Huzhai traitor, evil seed, I will cut off your head today for the elders and Huzhai clansmen!"

"Kill Li Li, kill this black-hearted curse."

"Kill Li Li! The root cause of this evil talk!"

"Kill Li Li! Kill Li Li!"

……

Standing on the high platform, all the real power figures in Huzhai who did not belong to Li Ba's line shouted loudly, demanding that Li Li be killed.The real power figures belonging to Li Ba's line remained silent.

At this moment, the tens of thousands of clansmen who were present also stopped discussing and quietly looked at the powerful figures in Huzhai on the high platform. They were waiting for a result: to vote for Qin, or to fight?
At this time, Li Li, who bent over and lowered his head with his hands in his hands, showed a look of horror in his eyes, but he still lowered his head silently after gritting his teeth, maintaining a respectful posture, and made a vow to never change his determination. look.

The silent Li Kang suddenly shouted: "Li Tian stop, step back, Li Li's words are not wrong!"

"But... but elder, this kid Li Li has broken people's hearts." The bald Jingwei Li Tian said unwillingly.

"Back off!" Li Kang looked at Li Tian majestically, and shouted in a deep voice.

At this moment, Li Tian saw the majesty in Li Kang's eyes that he could not resist, he groaned angrily at Li Li, and stepped back behind Li Kang.
