a few days later.

He Tiezhu, Liu Shanchang and others gathered together, all of them were amazed by the change of the Jagged Alliance these days.

"Crazy? This is crazy!"

In just a few days, the "full saturation competition" of the Jagged Alliance has caused He Tiezhu and others to burn out, and the harm they have done to them in these few days is even more than the accumulation of previous years.

The Jagged Alliance suddenly "doesn't follow the rules" and no longer abides by the tacit understanding that the two sides have maintained for nearly ten years, which completely puzzled them.

What's even more troublesome is that once their methods are too rough and jerky, once they get involved in a certain field, they will immediately create a mess, making them unable to even do serious things.

When one side is covered in mud, even if the other is clean, after a long fight, they will end up covered in mud.

Who will be clean then?

No one is clean anymore!

Everyone discusses and discusses, but they can't come up with a good solution for a while. They are already rushing to hurt the enemy by [-] and hurt themselves by [-]. Unless they really have a heart, "I will fight with you", otherwise , you can only fight in embarrassment, and be prepared to be smeared all over your face and body by the opponent's continuous dirt and silt.

In the next few months, He Tiezhu's faction and the Jagged Alliance headed by Gu Chenzhou launched a full and saturated competition around all aspects of Piaoshanji's affairs. A kind of "you without me" contradiction.

In December, for several months, He Tiezhu was rarely in a happy mood.

Because he received a letter from Sister Yao in advance, the marriage of the two sons, including the third sister, has made gratifying progress. They are all excellent families in Chiji City, and they can form an excellent relationship with Piaoshanji. Complementary, in his position, he has long seen clearly that it is this kind of combination with strong interests that is the safest and most gratifying, and the kind that only talks about feelings, regardless of other things, is the real danger.

It can be said that, except that the formal process has not yet started, things have basically been implemented.

And Sister Yao also mentioned in her letter that because her two sons had emotions, she was afraid that after staying in Chiji City for a long time, the two boys would cause trouble and turn a good thing into a bad thing. Father came to personally discipline these two restless ones.

Seeing her worrying about her sons, He Tiezhu was not angry, only happy. He knew that these were at most only part of the reason, and the main reason was that Sister Yao missed him.

"Counting the itinerary, they should be home in four days at most?!"

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw Guo Bailing running over with his eyes blank, one foot high and one foot shallow, as if he was sleepwalking in the clouds.

He Tiezhu was taken aback: "Bailing'er, what's the matter with you?"

Guo Bailing is now a 26-year-old girl. She usually pays great attention to her appearance in front of her. This is the first time she has seen this appearance.

When Guo Bailing heard He Tiezhu's voice, he was taken aback for a moment, and finally his eyes gradually became lively. Finally, when he focused on He Tiezhu, his eyes quickly turned red, and tears flowed out uncontrollably like a bank bursting.

A bad premonition rose in He Tiezhu's heart, and he stepped forward and said, "Bailinger, what happened?"

Guo Bailing looked at He Tiezhu who was close at hand, his lips mumbled and he dared not speak.

He Tiezhu's heart became more and more uneasy, and he yelled: "What happened?"

Guo Bailing's small face turned pale, and he stammered: "My brother...and sister-in-law, Dahu, Xiaohu, third sister...they, they...along with all the escorts, all...all died. "

Before she could speak halfway, she realized that He Tiezhu was not in the right state, but she insisted on saying all the words, and He Tiezhu still stood there motionless.

"Brother Zhuzi...Brother Zhuzi...you...don't scare me!"

He Tiezhu's state made Guo Bailing lose his mind in a panic.

"puff--"

He Tiezhu spat out a mouthful of blood and directly knocked down the courtyard wall in front of him.

"what----"

He suddenly roared loudly, as if weeping, as if shouting angrily, the sword energy around his body was ripped apart vertically and horizontally, and his hair danced wildly like a madman.

On this day, the entire Piaoshanji heard He Tiezhu's mournful roar.

Chapter 67 Scarlet Funeral

on the small square.

The sky is dim.

He Tiezhu, who was dressed in plain white clothes, was already standing there, watching the people coming and going gradually arrange the small empty square into a funeral scene.

Those who are working hard will subconsciously avoid the area around him.

He Tiezhu just looked at it like this, motionless, standing there like an iron pillar, with a kind of coldness and toughness from the inside out.

When the scene was well arranged, a ray of dawn sun also shone on the small square.

Liu Shanchang came in a hurry.

He went straight to He Tiezhu's side and whispered: "Sister Yao and the others were murdered in a mountain depression near Hongqiuji, more than 400 miles away. After the murder, the murderer even made a simple cover-up. There were people coming and going, so it wasn't until the second day after the incident was discovered by the people from the Wanli Escort Bureau."

He Tiezhu listened quietly, without expressing anything.

Liu Shanchang continued:

"The route from Piaoshanji to Chiji City is the main line that the Wanli Escort Bureau has been focusing on operating over the years. More than [-]% of the escort tasks are carried out around this main line. In order to facilitate contact with the forces along the route, each settlement Escort Bureau along the route They will arrange some people to sit and scout all year round, firstly, to facilitate contact with the surrounding forces, and secondly, every time the darts pass by these places, they will be notified in advance, and accommodation, food and other sundries will be arranged.

After many years of darts, this has formed a fixed regulation.Therefore, Hongqiuji's bodyguards knew when and when they would arrive. When Guo Wanli and others failed to arrive as scheduled, they followed the rules of the bodyguards and organized people to search in reverse along the route of the bodyguards. After half a day of searching , found the murder scene.

According to statistics, in addition to the four sisters Yao, there are eight other accompanying guards, five younger generations arranged by the same family to come to Piaoshanji for training, and a total of 16 guards and maidservants arranged by the same family.

Including Guo Wanli, 72 elite warriors from the Wanli Escort, eight first-rate warriors and forty second-rate warriors were all killed. "

After saying this, Liu Shanchang looked at the expressionless He Tiezhu, and gave an analysis conclusion:

"I haven't got the specific autopsy information yet. However, with the years of experience and sophistication of the elite backbone of the Wanli Escort Agency, plus the escort accompanied by Sister Yao, if you want to kill them all, you must be a top expert. Moreover, It’s definitely not something a top expert can do!”

After Liu Shanchang reported the urgently collected information, after a long time, He Tiezhu suddenly said: "The distance is wrong... According to my calculation, the day they were killed should be seven or eight hundred miles away from Piaoshanji."

Liu Shanchang said: "According to the feedback from Hongqiuji and other escort agencies along the way, the date of this escort trip has been changed twice since Guo Wanli and others set off from Chiji City. The itinerary is conservative, if the employer urges, the speed can be increased by a lot under the premise of taking safety into consideration."

He Tiezhu was silent, although Liu Shanchang didn't continue to speak, but he already understood the meaning of his words. It should be because Yao Jie was eager to return to her heart and urged the team to speed up the trip, which shortened the trip by half compared to what he expected.

He Tiezhu didn't say anything more, neither did Liu Shanchang.

After a while, the commotion outside the small square gradually increased.

He Tiezhu asked: "Have the invitations been sent out?"

"It's all posted... But..." Liu Shanchang paused for a moment, and then said: "Even if Fan Hu and the others don't sleep, it will take a day or two to welcome Sister Yao and the others back. Is it too early to start now?"

He Tiezhu said: "It's just right, Sister Yao has never liked scenes that are too noisy and chaotic... Go and greet me."

Liu Shanchang nodded, cupped his hands and went to greet those guests who came to express their condolences one after another.

Regarding the death of his wife and children, He Tiezhu did not hide the slightest bit. This news has been spread in the Piaoshan Jibo, and it has become a hot topic of concern among the whole people.

Everyone in Piaoshanji, whether they are ordinary people or warriors, have to admit that the fact that Piaoshanji can achieve today's grand occasion is due to He Tiezhu's great contribution.

In addition, Sister Yao is still the prostitute daughter of the first leader Tong Ziyi, even though Tong Ziyi did some selfish and stupid things in the later period, but nearly 20 years have passed, except for those who died, people who are still alive recall the past, and more I still want to thank him for his kindness in leading everyone to build a foundation in a barren land.

These people who grew up with Piaoshanji may not be as powerful as the later newcomers, and their status does not seem to be very prominent, but they have already integrated into all aspects of Piaoshanji, and their influence has also penetrated into Piaoshanji. of all levels.

When they heard that the whole family of the He family was in distress, they didn't receive an invitation from Liu Shanchang, so they took the initiative to gather in the small square, and they didn't come up to chat with He Tiezhu, they just offered incense and saluted from a distance, and then left silently.

The representatives of various forces who received the invitation from Liu Shanchang looked at this scene and couldn't help being shocked by the "people's aspirations" behind Tonghe's continuous operation.

He couldn't help but change his attitude a bit more.

The forces that are eligible to receive invitations from Liu Shanchang, including the elders in Yaowanggu and Shenbing Pavilion, because the Piaoshanji is becoming more and more prosperous, and they come from all directions to attract mobile fighters from all directions with the super strong as the core. The five martial arts forces formed are representatives of the ten settlements attached to Piaoshanji, and representatives of other forces that border on Piaoshanji and have a lot of cooperation (friction). Of course, the most important one is the owner of Piaoshanji All high-level members of Jagged Alliance.

After all the representatives of ordinary people from all walks of life who came here spontaneously to express their condolences and left with Piaoshanji, Liu Shanchang led the representatives of various forces to the small square.

After expressing their condolences, they all came to He Tiezhu one after another, comforting him in a low voice.

He Tiezhu, who had been standing quietly on the edge of the small square like an iron pillar, finally said, "I hope you will forgive us for the poor reception... If you have nothing important to do, please stay a little longer, I still have something to announce. "

Something to announce?What's up?

Everyone was surprised, but they didn't ask clearly.

And soon, more and more people noticed another abnormality.

In the same city, no one from the Jagged Alliance who supposedly got the news earlier than most of the people present has yet to show up.

Is this... a little too much?

Although everyone knows that since the middle of this year, the Jagged Alliance has gone crazy and the conflict with He Tiezhu's family has been directly heated up, but in this situation, it is difficult to arrange representatives to come and express their condolences, even if a few people never come forward in person.

What's the use of the Jagged Alliance doing this other than appearing particularly petty?

When a group of people were having different thoughts, someone suddenly came forward to report: "Leader Gu, the reincarnated sword master of the Jagged Alliance, led six deputy leaders and all the senior leaders of the alliance to express their condolences."

There was a sudden commotion in the crowd.

This... seven top masters and a group of high-level leaders are dispatched together. What's going on?

Pay attention?

But this is too much attention.

What's more, the Iron-Blood Alliance appeared with such a lineup on an occasion like today, maybe it's not a little too arrogant and overwhelming, right?

The Iron-Blood Alliance, which is close at hand, has not sent anyone so far, and everyone has speculated; but when the Iron-Blood Alliance really appeared, everyone speculated again and again because of its overly strong performance.

The human heart is subtle and unpredictable, and as far as this is concerned, He Tiezhu turned a deaf ear to these changes in the human heart around him. For the first time, he took the initiative to take the initiative to stride towards the South Street where the Jagged Alliance team came.

Chapter 68 Scarlet Funeral

Jagged Alliance.

Gu Chenzhou sat in the first place, listening to the quarrel, frowning.

"Today's occasion...or, let's change the date. Doing this kind of thing on this occasion will make our Jagged Alliance seem too impersonal and aggressive?" Someone was worried.

Someone sneered and said: "Our Iron and Blood Alliance has always been like this. Why should we have to worry about this? When he died, we all went to pay our condolences and burn incense sticks. Does this mean that we should be more courteous to him from now on? What's the reason? !"

Another human said:

"It's easy to talk about changing the date. We have a showdown with him at the end of this year. This was agreed a long time ago. Now because of something wrong with him, let's move the date back. When will the date be moved? After his family is buried, it will still be a complete mourning period." Should it be over, or wait for him to recover completely?

If this is the case, why should we show our cards? We can help him to welcome the immortal, otherwise, we can't just do it under the nose of the immortal, right? "

Another person directly slapped the table and said: "Give up? To put it lightly, there is no turning back when you open the bow. Whoever wants to show such kindness, first convince all the brothers below!"

At this moment, a martial artist hurried in and whispered a few words in the frowning Gu Chenzhou's ear.

Gu Chenzhou's eyes were fixed, and he quickly stopped the disputes among the people, and said:

"He Tiezhu left all the condolences from all parties, saying that he had something to announce, but he has not said a word so far. Now we are not going. This matter is obviously aimed at us.

Now not only all the forces in Pyoshanji are present, but there are also representatives from various forces around Pyoshanji. If he takes advantage of the atmosphere of general sympathy from all the forces to target us, it will be troublesome. "
