At dusk, the setting sun is like blood.
Xu Qi'an saw a rich and delicious food in front of him, sitting by the table was an old woman with gentle temperament, a young man, a beautiful woman, and two children of different ages.
They are Zheng Xinghuai's family... I now take Zheng Xinghuai as the first perspective and look back at his memory... I once had empathy Xu Qi'an and immediately became enlightened.
He listened quietly as Zheng Xinghuai scolded his son.
Zheng Xing had two sons, and the eldest son went on a career. Thanks to Zheng Xinghuai's teaching, his official reputation was very good and his future was promising.
The second son is a playboy disciple who fights with eagles and dogs all day long and does nothing.
Because Zheng Xinghuai had strict family education, this second son dared not do anything to bully men and dominate women, and even the playboys could not do well.
A waste of nothing.
Today, the second young master Zheng was drinking in a brothel and had a conflict with an officer. He was beaten violently by others.
Zheng Xinghuai scolded his second son and spoke harshly.
The second young master Zheng was dissatisfied and said aggrievedly: Dad, I just went to the brothel. It was that man who took the initiative to cause trouble. It was me who was not causing trouble. Ah, what was wrong with me?
It's Ah, what's wrong with visiting brothels?Xu Qi'an spoke up for the second son of Zheng.
Father, I want to go back to my parents’ house, and next month it will be my father’s 60th birthday.
At this time, the daughter-in-law spoke.
Before Zheng Xinghuai could speak, the second son waved his hands repeatedly and said: Are you crazy?Recently, the barbarians outside have been making trouble. Chuzhou City is so close to the border and is out of the city randomly. What should I do if I encounter a barbarian rafter halfway?
He showed horror on his face and scolded his wife who was ignorant of life and death.
Zheng Xinghuai said angrily: How could I give birth to something like you if I am greedy for life and fear of death?
Xu Qi'an could not see Zheng Xinghuai's face, but in a state of empathy, he could feel Zheng Xing's anger with a grudge.
He was both disappointed and helpless with this second son, and he felt that the other party was useless, and even the eldest son could not compare with a single hair.
At this time, a man wearing light armor rushed into the inner hall in panic. He carried a ox horn bow and a long sword on his waist and hips. It was Li Han.
Li Han said repeatedly: Sir, the army of the garrison suddenly entered the city for some reason and gathered the people in large numbers, not knowing what to do.
Zheng Xinghuai was shocked and asked in a daze: The military forces of the garrison gathered the people?Where to assemble and who leads the army?
Gather the people and massacre?Xu Qi'an felt a little nervous, and then heard Li Han say:
The people were gathered in four directions: southeast, southwest and northwest. The commander of the capital was the Duke of the State, Que Yongxiu.He should be in the south city now.
Zheng Xinghuai put down his chopsticks and stood up and said: Prepare the horse, I will take a look.Notify Mr. Zhu and go with me.
Immediately, Zheng Xinghuai took the guest officials from the mansion to the south city, and he did see soldiers escorting the people along the way, forming a team of unknown where he was going.
Stop, what are you going to do?Zheng Xinghuai shouted to stop him.
The soldiers wearing strong and stalked sharp eyes looked at him coldly without saying a word.
Zheng Xinghuai asked again, but no one answered.
He felt an ominous premonition in his heart, and did not continue to entangle with the soldiers at the bottom. He whipped the horse whip and ran wildly along the street towards the south city.
Following the soldiers along the way, Zheng Xinghuai quickly arrived at his destination. He saw the black head. It was roughly estimated that there were more than 100,000 people.
There were people in the city, merchants, and even officials from the yamen. This group of people were gathered on a wasteland in the south city, flocking to each other.
Thousands of soldiers wearing hard and holding sharp swords, carrying hard bows, or hanging military crossbows surrounded the group.
Zheng Xinghuai glanced at him and locked onto the commander Que Yongxiu, who was on the back of the horse, and more than a dozen secret spies wrapped in black robes around him.
The secret spy of the King of Zhenbei... Zheng Xinghuai narrowed his eyes and shouted in a deep voice: Duke Kuan, what are you doing?
Zheng Zheng, you are here just in time.Que Yongxiu's one-eyed eyes looked cold and said: Lord Zheng, the barbarians have repeatedly invaded the borders, burned, killed, robbed, do you know why this is?
Zheng Xinghuai didn't understand why he asked this and frowned: What does this have to do with your gathering of the people?
Que Yongxiu pointed a spear in his hand at more than 100,000 people and laughed:
Of course it is related. As the people of Dafeng, we should devote ourselves to the stability of Dafeng's border until we die.He sacrificed his life for the great reign of the country.Zheng Gongzhang believes that what I said is reasonable?
baffling……
Zheng Xinghuai was about to scold him when he suddenly saw Que Yongxiu holding his horse's belly and charging towards the people.
puff!
He stabbed a spear into a commoner's chest and lifted him up high, splashing blood. After the man on the tip of the spear struggled a few times, his limbs drooped weakly.
The scene was in a panic, and the people around him screamed, but the people farther away did not see this bloody scene and were still confused.
Zheng Xinghuai's eyes were bloodshot: Que Yongxiu, are you crazy if you dare to kill civilians indiscriminately?
The massacre of the city is about to begin... Xu Qi'an already knows the next plot. Through empathy, he deeply understands Zheng Xinghuai's surprise and anger at this time.
Lord Zheng, don’t worry, it’s your turn soon.Que Yongxiu shook his hand and shook off the corpse at the tip of the gun, and waved his hand: Shoot the arrow!
Thousands of soldiers bent their bows together, aiming at the gathered innocent people.
XiūXiūXiū……
The overwhelming arrows shot out, as dense as locusts and rainstorms.
Every arrow will take away a life, and the people will fall to the ground by arrows, crying in despair, and life will be like grass.This includes the elderly and children.
Those who escaped the first wave of arrow rain began to escape from here, but what awaited them was the butcher knife of elite soldiers. As soldiers of Dafeng, they cut and killed the people of Dafeng without any mercy.
Help, help...
Don't kill me, don't kill me.
The people were panicked and knelt down and begged for mercy. They couldn't understand why the Dafeng army wanted to kill them.
Why did these soldiers guarding the border not kill the barbarians, but waved their butcher's knife at them?
puff……
The butcher's knife fell down, the person fell to the ground, and blood splattered.
The soldiers did not have any pity because they beg for mercy and kneel down.
Bastard, what are you doing?I am a student from the provincial school and a scholar. I am so angry that I will slaughter innocent people and have committed great crimes...
A scholar wearing a blue Confucian robe turned pale, but stood up bravely, stood in front of the people, and shouted at the soldiers.
Not far away, a long man pulled out his sword with a clang and stabbed it into the scholar's chest fiercely.
The warm blood flowed along the blade, and the scholar stared at him, staring at him...
Xu Qian felt his soul trembling. I don’t know if it was derived from himself or Zheng Xinghuai, probably all of them.
Kill everyone without leaving any living mouth.Que Yongxiu raised his spear and shouted.
No living selves are left, of course, including Zheng Zheng's envoy present.
Several secret spies pulled out their weapons and rushed towards Zheng Gongzheng.
The guest surnamed Zhu sank his waist and hips, his fist ignited a transparent flame-like air, twisting the air, and suddenly hit him out.
A black-robed secret spy advanced instead of retreating, his five fingers were like sharp claws, which intimidated the whistling fist force, and it tore it violently, and the fist force disintegrated into a hurricane.
Adult, running smoothly.
The guest minister named Zhu stayed behind and cut off the rear, and the other guards took Zheng Xinghuai to the Zheng Mansion.
The horse galloped away, and Zheng Xinghuai turned around for the last time and saw thousands of soldiers bending their bows and shooting hard, arrows piercing through the bodies of the people; he saw soldiers waving their swords and killing a mother who ran away with a child; he saw Que Yongxiu standing high on the back of the horse, watching all this coldly with one eye.
Life is like grass.
Beast... Xu Qi'an heard his thoughts and couldn't tell whether it was his own, Li Miaozhen or Zheng Xinghuai.
The soldiers along the way ignored them and repeated the work of escorting the people mechanically and numbly, driving them to the designated location.
Zheng Xinghuai knew what kind of ending these people would face, and ordered the guards to rescue him several times, but the guards refused and escorted Zheng Xinghuai back to his mansion.
I will gather the guards at the mansion, and you will go and notify the ladies and young men. Now let’s go out of the city immediately and we will fight out.Li Han, who was carrying a ox horn bow, shouted.
Soon, the guards at the mansion gathered in the front yard, and they did not carry any fine or soft except weapons and armor.
Dad, Dad...what happened? Is it a barbarian who has entered?
Mr. Zheng ran out with his female family, pale face and fear flowing in his eyes.
The soldiers in the city mutiny and massacred the people, and we were also among them and quickly left the city.Zheng Xinghuai's long story short.
Until this time, Zheng Xinghuai was confused. He didn't know why Que Yongxiu and King Zhenbei wanted to gather the people to massacre and commit such atrocities for what purpose.
But the officialdom has been ups and downs for half his life, and he knew very well that this is not the time to explore the truth. His plan is to leave Chuzhou City first and escape from danger.
The second young master Zheng shook his body and almost couldn't stand firm. It was his wife who helped him.
Everyone has long been accustomed to the cowardly appearance of the second young master Zheng, including Zheng Xinghuai himself.
Under the protection of the guards, the female family and the children entered the carriage, and everyone rode their horses and galloped towards the city gate.
They are chasing.Li Han, who carried a ox horn bow, roared.
Several black-robed secret spies were chasing, and they were galloping far faster than the horses. Li Han twisted his waist and turned around, pulled out a powerful bow, and with a bang, the arrow roared away.
The spies were not weak hands, so they dodged the arrows and arrived in an instant. They swung their long swords and descended from the sky and slashed towards the carriage.
Protect the lady.
Wei Youlong, wearing a purple robe, flirted with his machete, blocking the spy's blade. The aura exploded with a loud bang, and the carriage made a creaking sound on the verge of falling apart.
Both sides fought and ran, and soon arrived at the city gate.
In front, hundreds of soldiers wearing strong and holding sharp swords were waiting early, and more soldiers were waiting on the city wall.
The commander-in-chief, the Duke of the State Guard, was standing tall on the back of a horse. He looked at the people who were trying to escape from the city and sneered: Lord Zheng, you can't escape.
There are not only elite soldiers on the city wall, but also Tianzi masters carefully trained by the King of Zhenbei. No one can escape.
Those who couldn't run out were blocked by the city gate, and there were army and masters guarding from a high place. Even the barbarian army might not be able to attack... Xu Qi'an felt a slump in his heart.
He was immersed in the scene, feeling extremely distressed and anxious.Reason told him that the Zheng family could not escape...
Zheng Buzheng held the reins of the horse and asked: Que Yongxiu, what do you want to do? If you want to rebel, you will not be able to do it.
Que Yongxiu smiled and said with a grim smile: Why do you ants need to rebel?
His one-eyed eyes shone with fierce light, he was cruel and indifferent, he raised his spear and shouted: Kill!
There is a wolf in front and a tiger behind, and the situation becomes critical in an instant.
The guards tried their best to protect Zheng Zheng and their families, but between life and death, they tried their best to take into account so many ordinary people who were powerless.
After a round of rushing, the carriage overturned, and the female family was killed by random knives. Que Yongxiu handed over a long spear and provoked Zheng Xinghuai's grandson and said with a rage:
Lord Zheng, you call yourself a fair and honest official, and you don’t have any sand in your eyes. Two years ago, you ignored the appearance of King Huai and investigated the military field case strictly and killed three of my Deli’s subordinates on the grounds of occupying military field. Have you ever thought that there would be today?
I kill your descendants, it’s a matter of courtesy and reciprocity.
He shook his hand and threw the child's body at Zheng Buzheng, but this was a cover. During the negligence that Zheng Xinghuai subconsciously reached out to take it, Que Yongxiu threw a spear.
The spear penetrated the body and nailed the person to the ground.
But it was not Zheng Xinghuai who died, but the cowardly and afraid of death.
The second young master Zheng, this playboy who was afraid of death, raised his pale face and choked up: Dad, I feel so painful, I am so afraid...
He is still that useless playboy. He has already started a family and started a career, but he still cried to his father.
But this useless waste who was greedy for life and feared death pushed away his father at a critical moment and blocked the spear with his body without blinking.
He was afraid of his father, he was timid, but in his heart, his father should be a sky above his head, which is more important than anything else.
Xu Qian suddenly felt tears blurring his vision and his eyes were burning. He subconsciously wanted to reach out to wipe his tears. Then he thought that he was just a bystander, and the person who was really crying was Zheng Xinghuai.
The empathy ended here, the picture was broken, and the last thing that was frozen in Xu Qi'an's eyes was Que Yongxiu's hideous smiling face.
……
He suddenly woke up and opened his eyes. He was crying loudly in his ears. The scene of his tragic death of his family was so clear that Zheng Buzheng broke down and ended his empathy early.
The crying went from intense and high to low whine. After a long time, Zheng Xing carefully wiped away his tears with his sleeves, his eyes were red, and he bowed:
This official has lost his composure.
Feel sorry.
Xu Qi'an bowed his fists and gave him a long breath and said: What's next?
Li Han, who was carrying a hard bow, said in a deep voice: We sacrificed two fourth-rank men to break out of the city, and then hid in Tibet, secretly contacted the chivalrous people, trying to expose the conspiracy of the King of Zhenbei.
So, except for Zheng Xinghuai, his family all died in Chuzhou City... Xu Qi'an glanced at everyone and whispered: I'll go out and have a quiet rest.
The air here is extremely dull, and the carbon dioxide generated by the bonfire is extremely uncomfortable, and Xu Qi'an is actually a little tight of his chest.
Ignoring everyone's expressions, he turned around and walked to the entrance of the cave, pushed away the obstructed branches, and walked out.
He stood in the valley, breathing in the cool air, and then he realized that chest tightness had nothing to do with the air, it was hard to calm down, it was hard to vomit, and it was hard to relax.
The soft footsteps came from behind.
I'm going to Chuzhou City.Li Miaozhen whispered.
The great hatred was silent, and there was no joy or anger on her calm face, and her eyes were full of firmness.
We are going to see Chuzhou City. Anger will only destroy our rationality. Before we go, we will sort out our thoughts and take a look at the case of Blood Massacre Three Thousand Miles again.Xu Qi'an broke a dead branch, bit it in his mouth, and said:
The King of Zhenbei massacred the city to refine essence and blood and impact the second grade, but refining essence and blood takes time, so he chose to massacre Chuzhou City and conceal everyone with the inertia of dark thinking under the lamp.
I had intercepted and killed the secret spies of Zhenbei King before and summoned the soul to ask about the situation. The secret spies did not know where the Zhenbei King massacred the people. However, according to Zheng Gongzheng's memories, there were many soldiers and secret spies involved in the massacre.
Li Miaozhen frowned and said: What you mean is that those soldiers and spies are most likely to have their memories modified.
Xu Qi'an nodded: It's also possible that they don't know what they have done. No matter what, they are not something that martial artists can do.Therefore, Zhenbei King has helpers, and the top strong men from other systems are helping him.
That strong man even had the ability to restore Chuzhou City to its original state, but I'm not sure which system it was.The northern border was infiltrated by many barbarians and were investigating the matter, so the King of Zhenbei must know.He either stopped refining essence and blood, or was fearless.In this way, it is difficult to achieve something with our strength.
Miaozhen, I need you to pass the message out, to the barbarians, to the demon clan.
Li Miaozhen nodded. She could fly on the sword and was very suitable for delivering messages.
Xu Qian faced her gaze and said: I am here to protect Lord Zheng. When you come back, you will go to Chuzhou City together.
Li Miaozhen breathed a sigh of relief: Be sure to wait for me.
Without further ado, go.
good.
Li Miaozhen summoned the flying sword and jumped onto the sword spine, and she stood in the air.
Xu Qi'an returned to the cave, and Zheng Gongshu and others looked over and said in a deep voice: Lord Zheng, everyone, you are waiting for my news here.
Zheng Gongmao seemed to notice something and hurriedly asked: What are you going to do?
Go to Chuzhou to investigate the case.
This is understandable, Zheng Gongzhi and others nodded slightly.
Xu Qi'an glanced at them and said: Several heroes protect Lord Zheng and never abandon him. I admire him. It is interesting that there are heroes like you in the world that make people feel interesting and yearn for.
Xu promises you that the murderer will be severely punished and that the people of Chuzhou will be fair.
Zheng Xinghuai stood up and bowed: In this way, I will die without regrets.
Li Han and others bowed: There is no regret for death.
……
After the early morning, Xu Qi'an came to a small county town and found the best inn in the area.
After paying the money, he asked the waiter for a bucket of water. Xu Qi'an closed the door, took out the fragments of the book, shook his hand, and the sleeping princess rolled onto the soft bed.
Wake up...
Xu Qian gently patted her face, suddenly remembering that this woman had been filled with a ecstasy soup by herself, and immediately sent a breath and forced her to wake her up.
The princess murmured and opened her eyes, her dispersed pupils slowly returned to focal length. She looked at Xu Qi'an blankly for about a few seconds, her face suddenly froze and she shrank to the foot of the bed like a rabbit.
While examining himself, he turned around and shouted: What did you do to me?!
His eyes were wide and round, and he made a fierce gesture, but he gave people a feeling of being timid and cowardly.
Xu Qi'an wanted to laugh when he saw her, and he felt calm unconsciously. He shrugged: I didn't do anything to you, I just let you sleep for a night.
I don't believe it. If you knock me out, you must have made ill-intentioned plans to me.She said angrily.
You are at least as old as a young woman. Can you judge whether the child's bedroom was broken into by a criminal?... Xu Qi'an complained in his heart and said lightly:
I'll go out for a while, you check it yourself.
He waited at the door for a while until the gentle voice of the young woman and princess came from inside: Who is the last name of Xu?
Xu Qi'an pushed the door open and entered.
The princess sat on the dressing table to comb her hair, tilted her head, and glared at him with her eyes, "What do you think if you're fine?"
Continue to stare at yourself in the mirror and focus on combing your hair.
It seems that I have been confirmed that I am still a complete melon, and my anger has disappeared a lot.
Xu Qi'an lifted the wooden barrel, poured water into the copper basin, and then added a bottle of red potion. He buried his entire face and kept rubbing it.
About a quarter of an hour later, Xu Qi'an's face became hot, and when he raised his face, he changed someone else.
This person is so handsome that he startled the party and was ashamed of Louis Koo. He is the only handsome man in the world... Xu Qi'an thinks so.
He pushed the princess away, looked at the familiar face in the mirror, and suddenly felt lost.
After a while, he murmured: It's been a long time...
The princess looked at him and nodded slowly: Who is you disguised?Such an ordinary appearance is very suitable for lurking.
After saying that, she saw Xu Qi'an slanting her with murderous intent.
Do you know what handsomeness means?Xu Qi'an didn't go to see the princess who had walked around in hell and said lightly: I've gone to investigate the case, it's not convenient to take you with me, so I'll come up with this bad strategy.
After a pause, he said in a deep voice: The King of Zhenbei slaughtered Chuzhou City.
Click!
The wooden comb fell to the ground, and the princess came to her senses, her face was intertwined with horror and grief. She unconsciously lowered her voice: Chu, Chuzhou City?
No matter who it is, I don’t believe it when I hear the news.
The princess is no exception.
Xu Qi'an briefly described Zheng Xinghuai's affairs.
The princess murmured: Although I don’t like him, I hate the two brothers who treat me as goods, but I still admire him in my heart.He was the first person in Dafeng's martial arts, with a great talent and strategy, and guarded the border for the people of Dafeng for more than ten years...
I was wrong, he was a selfish person.He guarded the border not for the sake of the people, but just because Dafeng belongs to their family and does not allow outsiders to rob.
Similarly, in their eyes, the people are also objects that can be traded and sacrificed, and when they need it, they can sacrifice without hesitation.
She had known that the King of Zhenbei was slaughtering the people, but she heard Xu Qi'an mention the process of the massacre of the city, and she couldn't help herself for a while.
King Zhenbei’s atrocities are unforgivable, and the Duke of the Guardian Que Yongxiu should have been cut into pieces. However, he is both a third-rank warrior and a prince of Dafeng. Who can punish him?
Who can make him confess his guilt and punish him?
At this time, she heard Xu Qi'an say: I'm leaving for a few days, stay at the inn and don't go anywhere.
As he said that, Xu Qi'an put the fragments of the floor books on the table and would you keep them for a few days.
Once Monk Shenshu is asked to let go of his fists, there is a risk of losing all the items on his body, including clothes.
The fragments of the earth book are of great importance. He didn't want the princess to see it. The best plan was to hand it over to Li Miaozhen, but the princess was still sleeping inside. She was not an item and could not stay in the earth book all the time.
In order not to let the No. 1 Beauty of Dafeng die without food, he had to come up with this bad plan.Fortunately, the princess is a silly girl and has no knowledge. For her, the fragments of the earth book may be just a rough handmade small mirror.
The princess did not look at the jade mirror and stared at him: Where are you going?
At this moment, Xu Qi'an's mind flashed through the people who fell like grass, the scholar who was stabbed into his chest by a knife, the mother who fled with his child, but was killed and the child, the child who was provoked by a gun, and the second young master Zheng who was nailed to the ground...
I said that I want to punish the King of Zhenbei, he does not deserve the essence and blood.I want him and the Duke of the Protector Que Yongxiu to pay the price.
Xu Qi'an looked at her calmly, with no joy or anger on his face, but his eyes were extremely firm: I'm going to Chuzhou.
The princess looked at his eyes and knew that she could not stop the man. She bit her lip and said softly: You want to come back, you, promise me.
good.
Xu Qi'an nodded, stood up and walked towards the door.
Xu Qi'an.
She shouted, as if she was worried, and she got up in a hurry and knocked over the stool, chased after her for a few steps, and plucked up the courage:
The boy is chivalrous and has a friendship with the five capital heroes.Liver and gallbladder holes, hair shrouded.In the beginning of the conversation, life and death are the same, and a promise is worth a thousand gold.
A promise is worth a thousand gold, so you must come back.
……
Yin Tianshan.
The horn sounded.
Twenty thousand elite cavalrymen of Qingyan's tribe gathered on the plain at the foot of the mountain. They rode their war horses covered with scales and waved their scimitars.
Looking at the towering palace in the sound of the horn.
Boom, boom, boom...
Heavy footsteps came from a distance, and the two-meter-high green giant stepped out of the palace, causing a slight tremor. He was dragging a giant sword that ordinary people could not use, dragging a deep gully on the ground.
The cavalry of Qingyan tribe watched their leader silently, and the scene was silent, with only heavy footsteps.
The blue giant raised its heavy giant sword and roared heavily: In Chuzhou City.
In Chuzhou City.
In Chuzhou City.
The cavalry of Qingyan raised their scimitars, waved and roared.
……
A black mountain in the north, a valley surrounded by clouds and mist.
The white-clothed warlock, with a blurred face, stood by the cliff, looking down at the valley, with thick fog that never dissipated for many years, without any grass growing, and life disappearing.
Candle Nine.
As the white-clothed warlock fell, the thick fog suddenly boiled like a woman dancing veil.
In the layers of fog, a black shadow swept quickly and stopped in front of the white-clothed warlock.
The thick fog dissipated, and it was a huge snake head, red all over, without scales, and a one-eyed eyes on its forehead.
Its body is as high as a mountain, and the white-clothed warlock is as small as an ant in front of it.
Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a god and demon who dominated the extremely cold land in the north. He had one eye, no scales and red. Opening his eyes was day and closing his eyes was night.
Zhu Jiu, the leader of the northern demon clan, is the descendant of the god and demon.
In Chuzhou City.The white-clothed warlock smiled.
The vertical eye of the giant snake's forehead suddenly opened, and a golden light burst into the sky, which could be seen dozens of miles away.
……
Above the steep cliff, under the old pine tree, the charming and charming woman stretched out her hand, her sleeves slid down, revealing her white lotus arms.
The black eagle hovering in the sky rushed down and landed on the woman's arm, saying: The man came to the news, in Chuzhou City.
The beautiful woman in a white dress said sweetly: It seems that he not only wants essence and blood, but also wants the life of the King of Zhenbei.Pass my order, all the demon soldiers will attack Chuzhou City.
Xu Qi'an saw a rich and delicious food in front of him, sitting by the table was an old woman with gentle temperament, a young man, a beautiful woman, and two children of different ages.
They are Zheng Xinghuai's family... I now take Zheng Xinghuai as the first perspective and look back at his memory... I once had empathy Xu Qi'an and immediately became enlightened.
He listened quietly as Zheng Xinghuai scolded his son.
Zheng Xing had two sons, and the eldest son went on a career. Thanks to Zheng Xinghuai's teaching, his official reputation was very good and his future was promising.
The second son is a playboy disciple who fights with eagles and dogs all day long and does nothing.
Because Zheng Xinghuai had strict family education, this second son dared not do anything to bully men and dominate women, and even the playboys could not do well.
A waste of nothing.
Today, the second young master Zheng was drinking in a brothel and had a conflict with an officer. He was beaten violently by others.
Zheng Xinghuai scolded his second son and spoke harshly.
The second young master Zheng was dissatisfied and said aggrievedly: Dad, I just went to the brothel. It was that man who took the initiative to cause trouble. It was me who was not causing trouble. Ah, what was wrong with me?
It's Ah, what's wrong with visiting brothels?Xu Qi'an spoke up for the second son of Zheng.
Father, I want to go back to my parents’ house, and next month it will be my father’s 60th birthday.
At this time, the daughter-in-law spoke.
Before Zheng Xinghuai could speak, the second son waved his hands repeatedly and said: Are you crazy?Recently, the barbarians outside have been making trouble. Chuzhou City is so close to the border and is out of the city randomly. What should I do if I encounter a barbarian rafter halfway?
He showed horror on his face and scolded his wife who was ignorant of life and death.
Zheng Xinghuai said angrily: How could I give birth to something like you if I am greedy for life and fear of death?
Xu Qi'an could not see Zheng Xinghuai's face, but in a state of empathy, he could feel Zheng Xing's anger with a grudge.
He was both disappointed and helpless with this second son, and he felt that the other party was useless, and even the eldest son could not compare with a single hair.
At this time, a man wearing light armor rushed into the inner hall in panic. He carried a ox horn bow and a long sword on his waist and hips. It was Li Han.
Li Han said repeatedly: Sir, the army of the garrison suddenly entered the city for some reason and gathered the people in large numbers, not knowing what to do.
Zheng Xinghuai was shocked and asked in a daze: The military forces of the garrison gathered the people?Where to assemble and who leads the army?
Gather the people and massacre?Xu Qi'an felt a little nervous, and then heard Li Han say:
The people were gathered in four directions: southeast, southwest and northwest. The commander of the capital was the Duke of the State, Que Yongxiu.He should be in the south city now.
Zheng Xinghuai put down his chopsticks and stood up and said: Prepare the horse, I will take a look.Notify Mr. Zhu and go with me.
Immediately, Zheng Xinghuai took the guest officials from the mansion to the south city, and he did see soldiers escorting the people along the way, forming a team of unknown where he was going.
Stop, what are you going to do?Zheng Xinghuai shouted to stop him.
The soldiers wearing strong and stalked sharp eyes looked at him coldly without saying a word.
Zheng Xinghuai asked again, but no one answered.
He felt an ominous premonition in his heart, and did not continue to entangle with the soldiers at the bottom. He whipped the horse whip and ran wildly along the street towards the south city.
Following the soldiers along the way, Zheng Xinghuai quickly arrived at his destination. He saw the black head. It was roughly estimated that there were more than 100,000 people.
There were people in the city, merchants, and even officials from the yamen. This group of people were gathered on a wasteland in the south city, flocking to each other.
Thousands of soldiers wearing hard and holding sharp swords, carrying hard bows, or hanging military crossbows surrounded the group.
Zheng Xinghuai glanced at him and locked onto the commander Que Yongxiu, who was on the back of the horse, and more than a dozen secret spies wrapped in black robes around him.
The secret spy of the King of Zhenbei... Zheng Xinghuai narrowed his eyes and shouted in a deep voice: Duke Kuan, what are you doing?
Zheng Zheng, you are here just in time.Que Yongxiu's one-eyed eyes looked cold and said: Lord Zheng, the barbarians have repeatedly invaded the borders, burned, killed, robbed, do you know why this is?
Zheng Xinghuai didn't understand why he asked this and frowned: What does this have to do with your gathering of the people?
Que Yongxiu pointed a spear in his hand at more than 100,000 people and laughed:
Of course it is related. As the people of Dafeng, we should devote ourselves to the stability of Dafeng's border until we die.He sacrificed his life for the great reign of the country.Zheng Gongzhang believes that what I said is reasonable?
baffling……
Zheng Xinghuai was about to scold him when he suddenly saw Que Yongxiu holding his horse's belly and charging towards the people.
puff!
He stabbed a spear into a commoner's chest and lifted him up high, splashing blood. After the man on the tip of the spear struggled a few times, his limbs drooped weakly.
The scene was in a panic, and the people around him screamed, but the people farther away did not see this bloody scene and were still confused.
Zheng Xinghuai's eyes were bloodshot: Que Yongxiu, are you crazy if you dare to kill civilians indiscriminately?
The massacre of the city is about to begin... Xu Qi'an already knows the next plot. Through empathy, he deeply understands Zheng Xinghuai's surprise and anger at this time.
Lord Zheng, don’t worry, it’s your turn soon.Que Yongxiu shook his hand and shook off the corpse at the tip of the gun, and waved his hand: Shoot the arrow!
Thousands of soldiers bent their bows together, aiming at the gathered innocent people.
XiūXiūXiū……
The overwhelming arrows shot out, as dense as locusts and rainstorms.
Every arrow will take away a life, and the people will fall to the ground by arrows, crying in despair, and life will be like grass.This includes the elderly and children.
Those who escaped the first wave of arrow rain began to escape from here, but what awaited them was the butcher knife of elite soldiers. As soldiers of Dafeng, they cut and killed the people of Dafeng without any mercy.
Help, help...
Don't kill me, don't kill me.
The people were panicked and knelt down and begged for mercy. They couldn't understand why the Dafeng army wanted to kill them.
Why did these soldiers guarding the border not kill the barbarians, but waved their butcher's knife at them?
puff……
The butcher's knife fell down, the person fell to the ground, and blood splattered.
The soldiers did not have any pity because they beg for mercy and kneel down.
Bastard, what are you doing?I am a student from the provincial school and a scholar. I am so angry that I will slaughter innocent people and have committed great crimes...
A scholar wearing a blue Confucian robe turned pale, but stood up bravely, stood in front of the people, and shouted at the soldiers.
Not far away, a long man pulled out his sword with a clang and stabbed it into the scholar's chest fiercely.
The warm blood flowed along the blade, and the scholar stared at him, staring at him...
Xu Qian felt his soul trembling. I don’t know if it was derived from himself or Zheng Xinghuai, probably all of them.
Kill everyone without leaving any living mouth.Que Yongxiu raised his spear and shouted.
No living selves are left, of course, including Zheng Zheng's envoy present.
Several secret spies pulled out their weapons and rushed towards Zheng Gongzheng.
The guest surnamed Zhu sank his waist and hips, his fist ignited a transparent flame-like air, twisting the air, and suddenly hit him out.
A black-robed secret spy advanced instead of retreating, his five fingers were like sharp claws, which intimidated the whistling fist force, and it tore it violently, and the fist force disintegrated into a hurricane.
Adult, running smoothly.
The guest minister named Zhu stayed behind and cut off the rear, and the other guards took Zheng Xinghuai to the Zheng Mansion.
The horse galloped away, and Zheng Xinghuai turned around for the last time and saw thousands of soldiers bending their bows and shooting hard, arrows piercing through the bodies of the people; he saw soldiers waving their swords and killing a mother who ran away with a child; he saw Que Yongxiu standing high on the back of the horse, watching all this coldly with one eye.
Life is like grass.
Beast... Xu Qi'an heard his thoughts and couldn't tell whether it was his own, Li Miaozhen or Zheng Xinghuai.
The soldiers along the way ignored them and repeated the work of escorting the people mechanically and numbly, driving them to the designated location.
Zheng Xinghuai knew what kind of ending these people would face, and ordered the guards to rescue him several times, but the guards refused and escorted Zheng Xinghuai back to his mansion.
I will gather the guards at the mansion, and you will go and notify the ladies and young men. Now let’s go out of the city immediately and we will fight out.Li Han, who was carrying a ox horn bow, shouted.
Soon, the guards at the mansion gathered in the front yard, and they did not carry any fine or soft except weapons and armor.
Dad, Dad...what happened? Is it a barbarian who has entered?
Mr. Zheng ran out with his female family, pale face and fear flowing in his eyes.
The soldiers in the city mutiny and massacred the people, and we were also among them and quickly left the city.Zheng Xinghuai's long story short.
Until this time, Zheng Xinghuai was confused. He didn't know why Que Yongxiu and King Zhenbei wanted to gather the people to massacre and commit such atrocities for what purpose.
But the officialdom has been ups and downs for half his life, and he knew very well that this is not the time to explore the truth. His plan is to leave Chuzhou City first and escape from danger.
The second young master Zheng shook his body and almost couldn't stand firm. It was his wife who helped him.
Everyone has long been accustomed to the cowardly appearance of the second young master Zheng, including Zheng Xinghuai himself.
Under the protection of the guards, the female family and the children entered the carriage, and everyone rode their horses and galloped towards the city gate.
They are chasing.Li Han, who carried a ox horn bow, roared.
Several black-robed secret spies were chasing, and they were galloping far faster than the horses. Li Han twisted his waist and turned around, pulled out a powerful bow, and with a bang, the arrow roared away.
The spies were not weak hands, so they dodged the arrows and arrived in an instant. They swung their long swords and descended from the sky and slashed towards the carriage.
Protect the lady.
Wei Youlong, wearing a purple robe, flirted with his machete, blocking the spy's blade. The aura exploded with a loud bang, and the carriage made a creaking sound on the verge of falling apart.
Both sides fought and ran, and soon arrived at the city gate.
In front, hundreds of soldiers wearing strong and holding sharp swords were waiting early, and more soldiers were waiting on the city wall.
The commander-in-chief, the Duke of the State Guard, was standing tall on the back of a horse. He looked at the people who were trying to escape from the city and sneered: Lord Zheng, you can't escape.
There are not only elite soldiers on the city wall, but also Tianzi masters carefully trained by the King of Zhenbei. No one can escape.
Those who couldn't run out were blocked by the city gate, and there were army and masters guarding from a high place. Even the barbarian army might not be able to attack... Xu Qi'an felt a slump in his heart.
He was immersed in the scene, feeling extremely distressed and anxious.Reason told him that the Zheng family could not escape...
Zheng Buzheng held the reins of the horse and asked: Que Yongxiu, what do you want to do? If you want to rebel, you will not be able to do it.
Que Yongxiu smiled and said with a grim smile: Why do you ants need to rebel?
His one-eyed eyes shone with fierce light, he was cruel and indifferent, he raised his spear and shouted: Kill!
There is a wolf in front and a tiger behind, and the situation becomes critical in an instant.
The guards tried their best to protect Zheng Zheng and their families, but between life and death, they tried their best to take into account so many ordinary people who were powerless.
After a round of rushing, the carriage overturned, and the female family was killed by random knives. Que Yongxiu handed over a long spear and provoked Zheng Xinghuai's grandson and said with a rage:
Lord Zheng, you call yourself a fair and honest official, and you don’t have any sand in your eyes. Two years ago, you ignored the appearance of King Huai and investigated the military field case strictly and killed three of my Deli’s subordinates on the grounds of occupying military field. Have you ever thought that there would be today?
I kill your descendants, it’s a matter of courtesy and reciprocity.
He shook his hand and threw the child's body at Zheng Buzheng, but this was a cover. During the negligence that Zheng Xinghuai subconsciously reached out to take it, Que Yongxiu threw a spear.
The spear penetrated the body and nailed the person to the ground.
But it was not Zheng Xinghuai who died, but the cowardly and afraid of death.
The second young master Zheng, this playboy who was afraid of death, raised his pale face and choked up: Dad, I feel so painful, I am so afraid...
He is still that useless playboy. He has already started a family and started a career, but he still cried to his father.
But this useless waste who was greedy for life and feared death pushed away his father at a critical moment and blocked the spear with his body without blinking.
He was afraid of his father, he was timid, but in his heart, his father should be a sky above his head, which is more important than anything else.
Xu Qian suddenly felt tears blurring his vision and his eyes were burning. He subconsciously wanted to reach out to wipe his tears. Then he thought that he was just a bystander, and the person who was really crying was Zheng Xinghuai.
The empathy ended here, the picture was broken, and the last thing that was frozen in Xu Qi'an's eyes was Que Yongxiu's hideous smiling face.
……
He suddenly woke up and opened his eyes. He was crying loudly in his ears. The scene of his tragic death of his family was so clear that Zheng Buzheng broke down and ended his empathy early.
The crying went from intense and high to low whine. After a long time, Zheng Xing carefully wiped away his tears with his sleeves, his eyes were red, and he bowed:
This official has lost his composure.
Feel sorry.
Xu Qi'an bowed his fists and gave him a long breath and said: What's next?
Li Han, who was carrying a hard bow, said in a deep voice: We sacrificed two fourth-rank men to break out of the city, and then hid in Tibet, secretly contacted the chivalrous people, trying to expose the conspiracy of the King of Zhenbei.
So, except for Zheng Xinghuai, his family all died in Chuzhou City... Xu Qi'an glanced at everyone and whispered: I'll go out and have a quiet rest.
The air here is extremely dull, and the carbon dioxide generated by the bonfire is extremely uncomfortable, and Xu Qi'an is actually a little tight of his chest.
Ignoring everyone's expressions, he turned around and walked to the entrance of the cave, pushed away the obstructed branches, and walked out.
He stood in the valley, breathing in the cool air, and then he realized that chest tightness had nothing to do with the air, it was hard to calm down, it was hard to vomit, and it was hard to relax.
The soft footsteps came from behind.
I'm going to Chuzhou City.Li Miaozhen whispered.
The great hatred was silent, and there was no joy or anger on her calm face, and her eyes were full of firmness.
We are going to see Chuzhou City. Anger will only destroy our rationality. Before we go, we will sort out our thoughts and take a look at the case of Blood Massacre Three Thousand Miles again.Xu Qi'an broke a dead branch, bit it in his mouth, and said:
The King of Zhenbei massacred the city to refine essence and blood and impact the second grade, but refining essence and blood takes time, so he chose to massacre Chuzhou City and conceal everyone with the inertia of dark thinking under the lamp.
I had intercepted and killed the secret spies of Zhenbei King before and summoned the soul to ask about the situation. The secret spies did not know where the Zhenbei King massacred the people. However, according to Zheng Gongzheng's memories, there were many soldiers and secret spies involved in the massacre.
Li Miaozhen frowned and said: What you mean is that those soldiers and spies are most likely to have their memories modified.
Xu Qi'an nodded: It's also possible that they don't know what they have done. No matter what, they are not something that martial artists can do.Therefore, Zhenbei King has helpers, and the top strong men from other systems are helping him.
That strong man even had the ability to restore Chuzhou City to its original state, but I'm not sure which system it was.The northern border was infiltrated by many barbarians and were investigating the matter, so the King of Zhenbei must know.He either stopped refining essence and blood, or was fearless.In this way, it is difficult to achieve something with our strength.
Miaozhen, I need you to pass the message out, to the barbarians, to the demon clan.
Li Miaozhen nodded. She could fly on the sword and was very suitable for delivering messages.
Xu Qian faced her gaze and said: I am here to protect Lord Zheng. When you come back, you will go to Chuzhou City together.
Li Miaozhen breathed a sigh of relief: Be sure to wait for me.
Without further ado, go.
good.
Li Miaozhen summoned the flying sword and jumped onto the sword spine, and she stood in the air.
Xu Qi'an returned to the cave, and Zheng Gongshu and others looked over and said in a deep voice: Lord Zheng, everyone, you are waiting for my news here.
Zheng Gongmao seemed to notice something and hurriedly asked: What are you going to do?
Go to Chuzhou to investigate the case.
This is understandable, Zheng Gongzhi and others nodded slightly.
Xu Qi'an glanced at them and said: Several heroes protect Lord Zheng and never abandon him. I admire him. It is interesting that there are heroes like you in the world that make people feel interesting and yearn for.
Xu promises you that the murderer will be severely punished and that the people of Chuzhou will be fair.
Zheng Xinghuai stood up and bowed: In this way, I will die without regrets.
Li Han and others bowed: There is no regret for death.
……
After the early morning, Xu Qi'an came to a small county town and found the best inn in the area.
After paying the money, he asked the waiter for a bucket of water. Xu Qi'an closed the door, took out the fragments of the book, shook his hand, and the sleeping princess rolled onto the soft bed.
Wake up...
Xu Qian gently patted her face, suddenly remembering that this woman had been filled with a ecstasy soup by herself, and immediately sent a breath and forced her to wake her up.
The princess murmured and opened her eyes, her dispersed pupils slowly returned to focal length. She looked at Xu Qi'an blankly for about a few seconds, her face suddenly froze and she shrank to the foot of the bed like a rabbit.
While examining himself, he turned around and shouted: What did you do to me?!
His eyes were wide and round, and he made a fierce gesture, but he gave people a feeling of being timid and cowardly.
Xu Qi'an wanted to laugh when he saw her, and he felt calm unconsciously. He shrugged: I didn't do anything to you, I just let you sleep for a night.
I don't believe it. If you knock me out, you must have made ill-intentioned plans to me.She said angrily.
You are at least as old as a young woman. Can you judge whether the child's bedroom was broken into by a criminal?... Xu Qi'an complained in his heart and said lightly:
I'll go out for a while, you check it yourself.
He waited at the door for a while until the gentle voice of the young woman and princess came from inside: Who is the last name of Xu?
Xu Qi'an pushed the door open and entered.
The princess sat on the dressing table to comb her hair, tilted her head, and glared at him with her eyes, "What do you think if you're fine?"
Continue to stare at yourself in the mirror and focus on combing your hair.
It seems that I have been confirmed that I am still a complete melon, and my anger has disappeared a lot.
Xu Qi'an lifted the wooden barrel, poured water into the copper basin, and then added a bottle of red potion. He buried his entire face and kept rubbing it.
About a quarter of an hour later, Xu Qi'an's face became hot, and when he raised his face, he changed someone else.
This person is so handsome that he startled the party and was ashamed of Louis Koo. He is the only handsome man in the world... Xu Qi'an thinks so.
He pushed the princess away, looked at the familiar face in the mirror, and suddenly felt lost.
After a while, he murmured: It's been a long time...
The princess looked at him and nodded slowly: Who is you disguised?Such an ordinary appearance is very suitable for lurking.
After saying that, she saw Xu Qi'an slanting her with murderous intent.
Do you know what handsomeness means?Xu Qi'an didn't go to see the princess who had walked around in hell and said lightly: I've gone to investigate the case, it's not convenient to take you with me, so I'll come up with this bad strategy.
After a pause, he said in a deep voice: The King of Zhenbei slaughtered Chuzhou City.
Click!
The wooden comb fell to the ground, and the princess came to her senses, her face was intertwined with horror and grief. She unconsciously lowered her voice: Chu, Chuzhou City?
No matter who it is, I don’t believe it when I hear the news.
The princess is no exception.
Xu Qi'an briefly described Zheng Xinghuai's affairs.
The princess murmured: Although I don’t like him, I hate the two brothers who treat me as goods, but I still admire him in my heart.He was the first person in Dafeng's martial arts, with a great talent and strategy, and guarded the border for the people of Dafeng for more than ten years...
I was wrong, he was a selfish person.He guarded the border not for the sake of the people, but just because Dafeng belongs to their family and does not allow outsiders to rob.
Similarly, in their eyes, the people are also objects that can be traded and sacrificed, and when they need it, they can sacrifice without hesitation.
She had known that the King of Zhenbei was slaughtering the people, but she heard Xu Qi'an mention the process of the massacre of the city, and she couldn't help herself for a while.
King Zhenbei’s atrocities are unforgivable, and the Duke of the Guardian Que Yongxiu should have been cut into pieces. However, he is both a third-rank warrior and a prince of Dafeng. Who can punish him?
Who can make him confess his guilt and punish him?
At this time, she heard Xu Qi'an say: I'm leaving for a few days, stay at the inn and don't go anywhere.
As he said that, Xu Qi'an put the fragments of the floor books on the table and would you keep them for a few days.
Once Monk Shenshu is asked to let go of his fists, there is a risk of losing all the items on his body, including clothes.
The fragments of the earth book are of great importance. He didn't want the princess to see it. The best plan was to hand it over to Li Miaozhen, but the princess was still sleeping inside. She was not an item and could not stay in the earth book all the time.
In order not to let the No. 1 Beauty of Dafeng die without food, he had to come up with this bad plan.Fortunately, the princess is a silly girl and has no knowledge. For her, the fragments of the earth book may be just a rough handmade small mirror.
The princess did not look at the jade mirror and stared at him: Where are you going?
At this moment, Xu Qi'an's mind flashed through the people who fell like grass, the scholar who was stabbed into his chest by a knife, the mother who fled with his child, but was killed and the child, the child who was provoked by a gun, and the second young master Zheng who was nailed to the ground...
I said that I want to punish the King of Zhenbei, he does not deserve the essence and blood.I want him and the Duke of the Protector Que Yongxiu to pay the price.
Xu Qi'an looked at her calmly, with no joy or anger on his face, but his eyes were extremely firm: I'm going to Chuzhou.
The princess looked at his eyes and knew that she could not stop the man. She bit her lip and said softly: You want to come back, you, promise me.
good.
Xu Qi'an nodded, stood up and walked towards the door.
Xu Qi'an.
She shouted, as if she was worried, and she got up in a hurry and knocked over the stool, chased after her for a few steps, and plucked up the courage:
The boy is chivalrous and has a friendship with the five capital heroes.Liver and gallbladder holes, hair shrouded.In the beginning of the conversation, life and death are the same, and a promise is worth a thousand gold.
A promise is worth a thousand gold, so you must come back.
……
Yin Tianshan.
The horn sounded.
Twenty thousand elite cavalrymen of Qingyan's tribe gathered on the plain at the foot of the mountain. They rode their war horses covered with scales and waved their scimitars.
Looking at the towering palace in the sound of the horn.
Boom, boom, boom...
Heavy footsteps came from a distance, and the two-meter-high green giant stepped out of the palace, causing a slight tremor. He was dragging a giant sword that ordinary people could not use, dragging a deep gully on the ground.
The cavalry of Qingyan tribe watched their leader silently, and the scene was silent, with only heavy footsteps.
The blue giant raised its heavy giant sword and roared heavily: In Chuzhou City.
In Chuzhou City.
In Chuzhou City.
The cavalry of Qingyan raised their scimitars, waved and roared.
……
A black mountain in the north, a valley surrounded by clouds and mist.
The white-clothed warlock, with a blurred face, stood by the cliff, looking down at the valley, with thick fog that never dissipated for many years, without any grass growing, and life disappearing.
Candle Nine.
As the white-clothed warlock fell, the thick fog suddenly boiled like a woman dancing veil.
In the layers of fog, a black shadow swept quickly and stopped in front of the white-clothed warlock.
The thick fog dissipated, and it was a huge snake head, red all over, without scales, and a one-eyed eyes on its forehead.
Its body is as high as a mountain, and the white-clothed warlock is as small as an ant in front of it.
Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a god and demon who dominated the extremely cold land in the north. He had one eye, no scales and red. Opening his eyes was day and closing his eyes was night.
Zhu Jiu, the leader of the northern demon clan, is the descendant of the god and demon.
In Chuzhou City.The white-clothed warlock smiled.
The vertical eye of the giant snake's forehead suddenly opened, and a golden light burst into the sky, which could be seen dozens of miles away.
……
Above the steep cliff, under the old pine tree, the charming and charming woman stretched out her hand, her sleeves slid down, revealing her white lotus arms.
The black eagle hovering in the sky rushed down and landed on the woman's arm, saying: The man came to the news, in Chuzhou City.
The beautiful woman in a white dress said sweetly: It seems that he not only wants essence and blood, but also wants the life of the King of Zhenbei.Pass my order, all the demon soldiers will attack Chuzhou City.
