When Lou Shuwan received the news that Luan Sanlang and others had secretly arrived at Qingmu Village, she was tidying up her clothes in her room. Then she walked out and saw the scene of everyone working in the valley of Qingmu Village.

The ditches being dug, the roads and houses being built, the small threshing ground, the vegetable gardens and grain fields in between. The area near the village gate had been cleared, and some people were reinforcing the walls. It looked like they were preparing for war. Lou Shuwan took a few glances, then walked forward.

Regarding her sudden impulse yesterday to see Ning Yi, she had no plan in mind. In a sense, all she could grasp at this moment were the lingering doubts and confusion in her heart. Doubts about why Ning Yi and Qingmu Village hadn't stopped her actions, confusion... perhaps even deeper, containing certain emotions she herself didn't dare to touch. They sometimes flashed through her mind, but she couldn't think about them any further.

In her original imagination, they should meet in a reasonable setting. They would exchange a brief glance, but not be surprised. He wouldn't repent, and she would silently declare the hatred in her heart to him—that would be a formal declaration of war. And before that, the two sides should have already crossed swords a few times. However, the current development of events was not going according to her imagination. She went to the courtyard where Zhu Biao and others were, guessing where they would take her, but the change came sooner than she expected. When she arrived not far from the courtyard, she saw Zhu Biao and the young men beside him at the courtyard gate, and... that figure in the middle of the courtyard.

The scholar's figure was sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard, talking softly to the people next to him, discussing something that was placed on the table. The sunlight was dazzling. Lou Shuwan took a breath, trying to walk normally towards the courtyard gate. Zhu Biao and the young man beside him stepped aside to let Lou Shuwan enter. Lou Shuwan hoped that the figure would turn around, but this scene didn't happen immediately. Instead, there was a slight collision behind her.

"I want to go in too."

"You can't come in."

Zhu Biao blocked Qiu Guyan, who was responsible for protecting Lou Shuwan, and then the two exchanged a few small moves. After a bump, they each took a step back.

The people in the courtyard turned around, then said a word to the person next to them, and stood up from there.

That face was slightly different from what Lou Shuwan remembered, because she hadn't seen this person in so long. She only caught a glimpse of him at the Little Bandit's territory, and now she could see him clearly. She immediately realized that it was indeed Ning Yi. She slightly raised her left hand and gestured to Qiu Guyan behind her to wait outside. On the other side of her vision, Ning Yi's expression was calm and gentle, and he gestured towards a room in the courtyard. The sunlight was bright, but the room seemed a little dark, and even faintly exuded a chill. Lou Shuwan looked at that face, and all the emotions surged up from the bottom of her heart.

From their first acquaintance in Hangzhou, when Su Tan'er brought her husband over, and she led them on a tour, he had the same gentle expression. All kinds of jokes, interactions, until she gradually learned about his accomplishments and fame in poetry. To the conflicts and frictions on West Lake, the sudden earthquake and war, the blood, fire, and insane chaos that subverted everything she knew about life, he returned to Hangzhou, became a prisoner, and they met again. It was almost the only warm light she felt in the chaos.

Then on that day, her second brother captured Su Tan'er—why did he capture Su Tan'er? She never understood—he walked into the Lou family, and with one look, her eldest brother fell. The table he overturned, he sat in front of her father and talked to him. Until that moment, she hadn't fully realized and accepted the news that her eldest brother was dead, but she was just looking at the crossbow bolt stuck in her eldest brother's throat. How could her eldest brother die? How could he do this...

But there was no explanation, and then there was endless chaos and darkness. The long, painful, difficult, and dark road, the fact that she hadn't died, she sometimes felt was an illusion...

These emotions and memories surged up from her heart, blocking her throat, so she could only look at him with those eyes—she didn't even realize she was doing this. Until she entered that room, and he opened his mouth to her, his first sentence was like this: "Long time no see, Miss Lou, would you like some tea..."

She opened her mouth, but didn't make a sound. In the room, Ning Yi looked at this woman who was staring at him with cold, complex, and hateful eyes, slowly pondering his words.

"Regarding the matter of Tiger King, I originally wanted to arrange for someone else to talk to you, but since you're here, it's good to chat..."

"You..." She made a sound, the suffering of the past year or so flashing through her mind, wanting to say "Do you know how much I've been through?", but reason made her say: "You... after Hangzhou, you never thought... I would still be alive to stand in front of you again..."

Her voice was gnashing, Ning Yi looked at her with a gentle expression: "Indeed, a little unexpected... It must have been difficult."

"Ha." She opened her mouth, looked up at the roof, then blinked her eyes to cool down her emotions. "I

was also surprised," she said.

Ning Yi poured a cup of tea on the table in the room, brought it over to her. The teacup was very large. Ning Yi pointed to the chair next to her: "You can sit down and talk."

Lou Shuwan held the cup and sat down on the chair, watching Ning Yi walk towards the desk, and sneered, her third sentence was: "I underestimated you."

"Mm." Ning Yi replied casually. He poured himself a cup of tea, turned around, "Are you talking about the Little Bandit thing? I didn't see you, but in any case, I'm very happy to know you're still alive, believe it or not... The situation on Tiger King's side looks pretty good. Your intentions, the conditions you've proposed, I already know. But the situation here is different from what you think. I can answer you, let's settle things today."

Lou Shuwan stared at him coldly: "I'm talking about the matter of Qingmu Village."

"Mm, it seems you've already heard from others. Your intervention is one step too late."

"I'm talking about the fact that the woman called Blood Bodhisattva is your lover."

Her words were cold, but they made Ning Yi stunned, and then he laughed: "This has spread too, then you understand what I mean even more."

"Hehe." Lou Shuwan smiled, holding the teacup and sitting there, looking to the side of the room.

The atmosphere in the room calmed down. Lou Shuwan didn't speak. Ning Yi stood in front of the desk, thinking about the impact of this matter. Sunlight came in through the windows, and dust danced in the light. He raised his cup and took a sip. After a moment, Lou Shuwan suddenly said: "I even suspect, do you still remember the conflict with my family?"

"Mm, I remember." Ning Yi stood there, "It was your second brother's fault. Is he doing well? Is he still alive?"

"He's alive, very well."

"Impossible." Ning Yi shook his head, putting down the cup. "There's no way, you're a little stronger than him. You've risen, which means he's collapsed. I have ways of seeing people. Your second brother is basically a coward. He... wouldn't be suitable to survive in that kind of chaotic situation."

Lou Shuwan looked at him again, smiling coldly: "It's good that I'm suitable."

"..."

Ning Yi glanced at her, but didn't say anything, but this glance had angered her. Lou Shuwan clenched her teeth, her eyes slightly red. Suddenly, she grabbed the teacup and threw it at Ning Yi. With a bang, the teacup, thrown very crookedly, hit a cabinet far away from Ning Yi, scattering everywhere.

"I will kill you sooner or later! Ning Yi, I will kill you sooner or later! I will skin you and tear you apart! I will make you suffer all the hardships! I will kill the people you value! I will make you wish you were dead—"

She almost cried out, and then she heard a commotion outside the courtyard. Someone was shouting: "Get out of the way!" Someone shouted: "Don't mess around!" Obviously, Zhu Biao and Qiu Guyan had clashed again. Ning Yi looked back at the broken porcelain cup on the ground, then walked to the side and took another one, put in some tea leaves, and poured in hot water.

"No need to be so impulsive, you see, they'll fight outside." He placed the porcelain cup on the coffee table next to Lou Shuwan, "Sometimes, when bosses negotiate, this is the rule, try to be calm. I know that once, when two guys were negotiating, they both went with sincerity, but they both spoke loudly. It was originally a joke, but the younger brothers outside didn't understand and started fighting on the spot, and people died in the end. Originally, it was a strong alliance, and everyone had food to eat, but one went to jail and the other ran away, why bother. You're with Tian Hu, these things happen often, pay attention to the impact."

After he finished speaking, he paused, and then said: "Unless you can really skin me and tear me apart now."

Lou Shuwan clenched her fists, her whole body was trembling slightly. She stood there for a long time before recovering. She reached out to take the teacup, but her finger was scalded by the tea, causing her to bite her lip. The next moment, she grabbed the cup and threw it at Ning Yi again. This time, the tea splashed everywhere, on her body, and on Ning Yi's body. The teacup still deviated far away and shattered on the wall. Ning Yi shook his head, patted the water stains on his body: "Then I won't pour you tea, if you keep doing this, some things can't be discussed."

Lou Shuwan took a breath: "I don't understand one thing."

"What?"

"Why didn't you react?"

"What didn't react?" Ning Yi blinked, "You said... react? We did react. Before you, I already talked to He Shuyuan and the others. I wanted to arrange for someone else to talk to you on this side..."

"I'm talking about the reaction outside Qingmu Village."

"Outside the village?"

"Don't pretend you don't know anything." Lou Shuwan said, word by word, "Luan Sanlang, Fang Yiyang, Chen Zhenhai... I know you understand, don't pretend you don't know, they're about to force their way onto your Qingmu Village..."

"Oh, them, I also know they're going up the mountain in the next few days." Hearing her mention this, Ning Yi relaxed his posture and shrugged his shoulders, "There's a reaction, maybe it's... fighting."

"Fighting?" Lou Shuwan stared at him straightly, "Do you know..."

"I probably know everything I should know... fighting." Ning Yi nodded.

"Do you know..." Lou Shuwan emphasized her tone, "They're forcing their way up the mountain to seek amnesty, to cooperate together, to form an alliance with Qingmu Village. Their people add up to two or three times the number of Qingmu Village. Qingmu Village's current situation... is still developing. You really want to... fight? You're instigating them? What are you thinking..."

Ning Yi spread his hands, his gaze already calming down: "I know everything, forcing cooperation, forcing the sharing of power, forcing them to join. We don't accept any of them. Of course, accepting is also possible, they join the village according to Qingmu Village's requirements, we accept one by one. We don't accept those who don't meet the requirements and want to start their own gang. We thought about it from the beginning, fighting is the only option."

"But your Qingmu Village hasn't settled down yet..."

"A sharp sword comes from sharpening, you can't train elite soldiers without any pressure. That's right, for ordinary people, the other side is forcing their way up, and the demands they make aren't excessive. It's true that you can talk, and there are many means you can use, but since it was determined from the beginning that we couldn't reach an agreement, of course we can choose not to talk and treat it as if the negotiations have broken down."

Lou Shuwan's heart had already sunk. She heard Ning Yi say over there: "Since they're forcing their way over with troops, of course you have to consider what the troops are for. You wouldn't have considered what would happen after the negotiations broke down, right? Miss Lou, you've experienced so many things, are you still only considering doing business and negotiating conditions? Haven't you considered direct conflict and bloodshed?"

The surrounding air became thin, and she heard a buzzing sound in her ears again. Originally, after experiencing so many things, when she saw Ning Yi again, she imagined that she was standing on an equal footing with him, fighting him with her wits and skills. Regarding the situation of Qingmu Village, she had repeatedly calculated it many times, how to negotiate, exert pressure, and gamble, bit by bit negotiating conditions with Qingmu Village, maximizing her own interests without causing the other side to turn against her, and what kind of methods the other side would take. But at this moment, that feeling of a great distance between the two sides suddenly appeared again, because the other side was holding the chessboard and smashing it at her face.

"You... madmen..."

"This is a crazy world, Miss Lou."

************

The sudden imbalance in her brain lasted for a moment. Lou Shuwan closed her eyes to calm down and thought of something.

"I know, you're doing it on purpose, right?"

"What?"

"You're doing it on purpose! It was like this at Fang La's place, and it's like this here. You're doing it on purpose, instigating them to cause internal strife, and when they fight, you'll help the court solve the problem of the Lüliang bandits!"

Lou Shuwan's voice began to rise, Ning Yi smiled: "It's not a bad idea, but to be honest, at this point in time, if we want to attack some people, Lüliang is insignificant. Your Tiger King is the real thorn in the court's side. I should use him as a stepping stone."

"You... you cause chaos wherever you go..."

"These are all misunderstandings," Ning Yi said, "We've chatted so much nonsense, you're not really interested in Tiger King's mission, are you?"

"You..."

"I've prepared it for you a long time ago." He turned around and pulled out a piece of paper from the desk, "Qingmu Village doesn't accept those ideas that want to muddy the waters. Since some people are not satisfied with the current situation, we'll just kill all the dissatisfied people. This document is established under the premise that Qingmu Village can still exist. Your original idea is no longer possible, so try to accept it. The business is still very worthwhile, I believe you will accept it, but there is one thing, you can try to bring it to Tian Hu—of course, it doesn't matter if you don't bring it—you tell him, we welcome doing business, but if he dares to reach his hand over, I'll chop it off."

Lou Shuwan took the paper and looked at him.

"In any case, there's going to be a fight soon, if you can leave, try to leave first. After you leave, if you want to help Luan Sanlang and the others, if you want to send troops to Lüliang or do something in secret, you're welcome to come and fight, you're welcome to do something in secret. A truly resilient group must constantly undergo tempering and cleansing both internally and externally. You may not understand this."

After he finished speaking, Lou Shuwan stood there, not answering. Ning Yi was silent for a moment: "As for the grudges between us, if you want to kill me, I can completely understand. But even if things happen again, I will still kill your father and brothers. This is what they brought about. In doing things, sometimes we have no choice. You're in it, you can only say it's fate and luck. Of course, what I'm saying won't make your hatred lessen, or make you feel better. But in reality, you can't kill me. You can't kill me now. When you climb higher at Tian Hu's place, you'll find that you can't kill me even more. Preserving your obsession may be a way to live, but as the old saying goes, sometimes you have to let go, maybe you can live a little easier. You can remember these words."

Lou Shuwan's body trembled slightly, and some things surged up from the bottom of her heart again. She said coldly, word by word: "You killed my father and brothers, and you want me to let go?"

"So I said, of course it's difficult. I often go too far in doing things, but personally, I'm not bloodthirsty. I was treated kindly in Hangzhou, so if possible, I still hope you can live as much as possible. But if you continue to pursue this, I don't rule

out that one day I will beat you to death." Lou Shuwan saw Ning Yi take out that strangely shaped iron cylinder and point it at her. Behind the black hole was Ning Yi's cold, inhuman gaze. "Remember? This is what I used to kill your father."

"I. Will. Re. Mem. Ber." Lou Shuwan felt that she couldn't suppress the trembling of her body. After saying these words, she turned and left, her heart filled with surging hatred, and the light of day seemed to be dimmed by half.

This meeting had a beginning that she had not expected, and an ending full of hatred that seemed to be as she had expected, but her heart was empty and indescribable. She knew that she had many things she could do, such as informing Luan Sanlang and others of Qingmu Village's decisiveness, but at the same time, she was afraid that the other party was deliberately revealing this information, then Luan Sanlang and the others would directly fall into a disadvantage in the negotiations, and the illusion of war kept appearing in her mind. She was not afraid of this, but Ning Yi's words suddenly made her feel that she was ultimately a woman, and even if she had calculated all the intrigues and schemes, she was still far behind the world of those iron-blooded men.

She did not leave her room that afternoon.

On the other side, gossip about the relationship between Lou Shuwan and Ning Yi quietly spread among the Bamboo Records team due to the bizarre meeting in the morning. Everyone discussed what the relationship between this beautiful girl and the boss was. Although they were said to be enemies, they seemed a bit like lovers.

Zhu Biao then said to everyone in a very knowledgeable way: "There are many people who have grudges with our boss, it's not strange to have one or two like this." He also said: "Brother Ning is the type of person who doesn't know how to pick up girls at all, maybe it's love turned to hatred..."

Such gossip spread around, and Ning Yi occasionally heard it, and was both amused and annoyed. In this atmosphere, the negotiations with the people entering the mountain had come to an end, and what remained was the matter of fighting. Regarding the pre-war mobilization, Hong Ti had already done it with several village leaders two days earlier. Unexpectedly, whether it was Zheng Ashuan or Cao Qianyong, or the fourth village leader Peng Yue and the fifth village leader Han Jing, they were all more enthusiastic about the necessity of war than Hong Ti.

In the past two years, Qingmu Village had gradually become wealthy, and it had invested a lot in training soldiers. However, in order to do business, killing people in the surrounding area was actually a minor affair. For those large villages, they chose an attitude of tolerance and cooperation. Zheng Ashuan and Cao Qianyong were veterans of Qingmu Village, so it was okay to say. Peng Yue and Han Jing had also built up a career with their own hands before joining Qingmu Village. This style of desperately training soldiers but hiding their strength was extremely inconsistent with their aesthetics, and was almost equivalent to the sin of wasting food.

In this way, the problem of one stage was about to pass. That afternoon, someone saw He Shuyuan hurriedly going down the mountain with his entourage. After a while, someone came up the mountain to find Ning Yi and informed him of something. Ning Yi was thinking about something in the courtyard at the time, and looked down the mountain, and suddenly frowned.

The same news was also conveyed to Lou Shuwan at this time, and she also walked out of the room. At this moment, a voice rang out from the foot of the mountain!

"...The Great Brightness Sect, Sect Leader Lin Zongwu, leading his disciples and Dharma protectors..."

The valley occupied by Qingmu Village was very large. Due to the large number of people and the fact that it was daytime, it was difficult for many people to shout loudly at the foot of the mountain to be heard on the mountain. But the voice came suddenly, majestic and full of vigor, and suddenly spread to the entire valley, causing everyone to hear the echo of that voice.

...

"...The Great Brightness Sect, Sect Leader Lin Zongwu, leading his disciples and Dharma protectors, pays a visit to Lüliang Mountain! Blood Bodhisattva—"

...

"What are you joking about..." Muttering in a low voice...

...

The sound of welcome was then conveyed down, it was that prostitute and the woman with him. She said on the mountain: "Please let the honored guests in." This voice rang in her ears, and echoed in the empty valley.

...

"Haha." In the courtyard below, Lou Shuwan couldn't help but laugh.

...

Ning Yi snapped his fingers and called the person closest to him: "Yuwen Feidu, call someone and prepare all the cannons for me."

As he spoke, he turned and walked up the mountain.

What the hell is going on…
