Chapter 49 Election of the Alliance Leader

  Election of the Alliance Leader

  Yun Xiang Tian poured a full cup of tea for Wang Furen and sat back in his own seat. He thought to himself, "I hope Wang Furen can keep her promise and resolve the grudge between the Wang family's mansion and the Suspended Sword Cave." However, things did not go as he wished.

  Wang Furen suddenly jumped up, drew out the soft sword from her waist, and shouted, "Submit to death!" She stabbed towards Ba Tian Long's face with a swift motion. Ba Tian Long seemed to want to move but ultimately didn't. He smiled, closed his eyes, and tilted his head back.

  It was too late for anyone to save him from under the sword. Hong Shan Gu screamed in fright, while Zhen Shan Hu and Yun Xiang Tian also jumped up from their seats. Everything fell silent as they all stared blankly at Wang Furen and Ba Tian Long.

  A strand of hair fell from Ba Tian Long's temple, and he opened his eyes to look at Wang Furen.

  Madam Wang withdrew the treasured sword and flung it to the ground. With a "thud", she knelt down in the direction of the Wang family's grand camp, wailing: "Ancestors of the Wang family, I, your daughter-in-law, am unfilial and cannot personally slay our enemy. He is also a Chinese man with an iron will, so I cannot kill him. I can only follow the example of the ancients and shave my head in place of beheading, to fulfill my filial duty. Spare his useful life, let him drive out the Japanese pirates and reclaim our rivers and mountains for me, that I may glorify our ancestors." Having finished speaking, she knocked her forehead on the ground with a loud thud.

  Ba Tian Long stood up, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of reverence for the woman in front of him. His eyes welled up with hot tears as he clasped his fists together and declared loudly: "I, Ba Tian Long, thank you, King Wang's family, for sparing my life. I swear to never betray your trust, Elder Sister, and vow to share a common fate with Feng Ling Mountain, may the heavens be my witness."

  His words were sonorous and loud, moving everyone present. They were moved by Wang's profound justice while being infected with the heroic spirit of Ba Tian Long.

  Hongshan girl shed tears and helped up Mrs. Wang, sobbing incoherently: "Good sister-in-law, it's hard for you. If you want to cry, just let it out?" As she said this, she held Mrs. Wang in her arms and gently patted her back.

  Zhen Shantiger wiped away the tears and snot on his face, shouting loudly: "Mountain village owner, is there wine? I want to toast three large bowls to Madame Wang, to express my admiration."

  Hong Shangu also smiled, her face still bearing tears like pear blossoms in the rain. She waved her hand and shouted: "Come on, bring out my secretly stored good wine! For Wang Furen's one burst of heroic spirit, today I will not rest until we are all drunk!"

  Mrs. Wang said with embarrassment: "Stop making a fuss, I'm just a small woman in the mountains, and you've blown me up to the sky. I know you still have important things to discuss, so let's not drink anymore and don't delay you. My revenge is also reported, Fengling Mountain has you, my heart is also at ease. I'll take my leave first, if there's a place where the Wang family can be used, just say it."

  "Wait, Lady Wang. We need your help here. I had my own reasons for not wanting to trouble you, but since the master has arrived, how could we possibly take precedence over our host? Please, have a seat."

  Yun Xiangtian also followed up, saying: "Yes, Lady Wang, you have been guarding Fengling Mountain with all your might, and it can be said that you have devoted yourself to the cause. You are the one who has the most say here. We want to hear your opinion."

  Madam Wang finally cracked a smile and said, "You, Yu'er, are you trying to rush the ducks onto the shelves? I've been cooped up on Mount Fengling every day, and I don't know anything about what's going on outside. Besides pretending to be a ghost to scare people, what else can I do?"

  Her smile was like a spring breeze that melted all the frost in everyone's heart, and everyone relaxed.

  Zhen Shantiger grinned and said, "Wang's wife, you look really beautiful when you smile, just like when you were young." Then he sighed and continued, "It's been 15 years, hasn't it? You haven't smiled in 15 years. I've wanted to visit you many times, but I was afraid of being chased away by you. It's really hard to see you smile."

  Madam Wang's face turned red as she smiled and scolded, "You mountain bandit with a thousand knives, you dare to flirt with my sister? Have you asked the precious sword at my waist if it agrees? I can tolerate you, but it may not tolerate you." She turned her head to look at Ba Tian Long with a serious expression, but her eyes revealed a worried look as she asked, "Are you hurt?"

  Only this one sentence, like the scorching sun and arrogant yang, burned the dragon's hot blood to a boil. He couldn't stop his tears from flowing as he choked back his excitement and said: "No, no injury." He thought to himself: "With these words, even if I'm killed, what does it matter?"

  Madam Wang glared at him and said, "Don't you have any dignity? A big man like you, wiping your nose and tears, don't you know shame? And yet you're famous throughout the land? I think that's just a petty woman." She finished speaking and laughed at herself.

  Ba Tian Long also cracked a smile, laughing with tears in his eyes. He wiped away his tears and said: "Yes, yes, Auntie is right, I'm not even as good as a little woman."

  Zhen Shantiger grinned with a big mouth and said: "The great snake has turned into a little woman, how interesting, so very interesting."

  Ba Tian Long really looked like a woman, revealing a hint of a shy smile. He pushed Zhen Shan Hu and said: "Go, dead cat, you're everywhere."

  Hong Shangu's tears of joy streamed down her face as she exclaimed, "It's great, it's great! Everything has been cleared up, and there are no more barriers. Fengling Mountain is once again a family!"

  Mrs. Wang pulled up Hong Shangu's hand and said, "I also heard a lot of what you just said. Yu'er becoming the leader of the third village has nothing to do with me. If he becomes the leader of the fourth village, I agree." She turned around and shouted loudly at Zhen Shantiger and Ba Tianlong: "My Wang family's big village is also coming to join the alliance, together we will guard Fengling Mountain, together we will kill the ghost children, do you want to or not?"

  Hongshan girl jumped up, Zhen Mountain tiger jumped up, and Ba Tian Long also jumped up. They cheered: "Want want,,,," The cheers and laughter rushed to the sky, and they, in their 40s and 50s, returned to their young age, cheering and playing wildly.

  Yun Xiang Tian looked at them with emotion, tears streaming down his face again. He thought to himself: They were mountain bandits who occupied the mountains and forests, heroic knights who killed the rich to help the poor, but also robbers who plundered homes and villages. Originally, they had been suspicious of each other, vying for power and trying every means possible to swallow up their opponents and dominate Fengling Mountain alone. But now, for the sake of national righteousness, they had put aside past grudges, joined hands and stood shoulder to shoulder - what heroic spirit!

  Madam Wang and everyone laughed together, suppressing the heart that had been suppressed for 15 years, finally let go. She patted her hand and said: "Okay, okay, don't make trouble, we old demons, making a big fuss. Look, Yu'er is scared, standing there in a daze. We should talk about serious matters now, after the serious matters are settled, we will drink the beautiful wine of the mountain village owner, and not return until drunk."

  After some deliberation, Yun Xiangtian still hoped that Ba Tianlong would take over as the leader of the Four Villages Alliance. The reason is that the geographical location of Xuanjian Cave is very important, which is convenient for personnel deployment during battles. Ba Tianlong is also old and cunning, not easily impulsive, will not act rashly, has strategic thinking, and has strong leadership skills. Moreover, he has a high reputation in the Jianghu world and has many friends in the Jianghu community, which would be of great help in guarding Fengling Mountain.

  Ba Tian Long strongly pushed back, saying: "Yun Xian nephew, anything I can agree to for you, but the only thing I cannot agree to is being the alliance leader. It's not that I'm unwilling to serve Feng Ling Mountain, it's just that I know my own abilities and fear that I won't be able to bear this heavy responsibility."

  Madam Wang slapped the table and stood up, pointing at Ba Tian Long's nose: "You're really something, Ba Tian Long! You don't even have the face to show up here. I thought you were a real dragon? In the past, you shaved your head and tried every trick in the book to become the Alliance Leader, but now that things are getting serious, you've turned into a mud eel. I was wrong to think of you as a man, you're just like a woman, always twisting and turning. Tell me, can you still be the Alliance Leader or not?"

  Ba Tian Long was scolded by Wang Furen, his face changed instantly. He suddenly stood up, gritted his teeth and said: "Fine, I, Ba Tian Long, will reluctantly become the alliance leader today, and defend Fengling Mountain to the death. If anyone betrays, heaven and earth will be destroyed!"

  Madam Wang beamed with a bright smile, sat back down and picked up her tea cup saying: "This is it, this is the Overlord Dragon in my heart, with enough momentum, enough grandeur, a great hero who can touch the sky and stand on earth."

  Ba Tian Long heard Mrs. Wang's praise and felt a kind of indescribable comfort in his heart, standing there for a moment to fully enjoy it.

  Just as everyone was in high spirits and chatting happily, a man suddenly burst in from outside and said something that shocked everyone.
