Yan Qinghou was invincible and killed all the way to the outside of the house where the villagers were imprisoned. Soldiers outside the house raised their spears and fought hard. Yan Qinghou used the falling eagle slash again to repel the Qi soldiers, and then there was a smug laugh in the room.

"It's worthy of the "cutting iron" in the Seven Swords, and ordinary people really can't stop you. The speaker slowly walked out of the room, dressed luxuriously, decorated with gold and jade, thin and weak, with a small mustache. He grabbed a woman by the collar with his left hand, dragged her out the door, and threw her to the ground. The people in the house didn't know what was going on outside, but they kept calling for help, and the soldiers guarding the house put knives around their necks to silence them. Then the man took a sword encrusted with jewels and put it on the woman's neck, and the woman was too frightened to make a sound, and her hands trembled, and she did not dare to lift her head, but stared straight at the ground.

"Jin Zhen, what are you going to do!" This sword-wielder is called Jin Zhen, he is the Marquis of Fushun of Qi State, the third prince of the previous monarch of Qi State, and the half-brother of the current King of Qi. In the early years, the Kingdom of Qi fell into the civil war of the crown prince, and the youngest prince Jin Shijie was ruthless, slaughtered all his brothers, and forced the old King Qi to abdicate. And Jin Zhen escaped by pretending to be crazy and stupid, and was given the fiefdom of Fushun City by Jin Shijie and named the Marquis of Fushun. But he was unwilling, and he had been trying to make a comeback, hoping to climb through military exploits and gain the affirmation of civil and military officials. This Yan Qinghou has always been a thorn in the eye of Qi State, when Yan Qinghou was not the Zhenyuan general of Jiang State, Qi State and Jiang State fought a hundred battles and captured three cities, until Yan Qinghou took office, the prestige of "cutting iron sword" was talked about everywhere, and the battle with Jiang State after that did not get any benefit. Unable to attack Jiang State for a long time, the whole Qi State has been shaken by Jin Shijie, as long as he kills Yan Qinghou, with this military industry and he is Jin Shijie's eldest brother, the civil and military officials will definitely let him, the rightful king, succeed to the throne. Therefore, he resorted to such a trick to lure Yan Qinghou to the border, and then entered the village with a team of men and horses to take hostages, and finally forced him to comply. Yan Qinghou loves the people like a son, and will never let an innocent person die in front of him.

Seeing that Jin Zhen was so brazen and actually threatened himself with a woman, Yan Qinghou angrily reprimanded him: "Put down the sword, she is just an unarmed citizen." If you're going to kill me, let me go!"

"Hahaha, Yan Qinghou, it's true that the world says I'm incompetent, but I'm just incompetent and not stupid. I duel with you, and it is not to hit a stone with an egg, and to die in vain. I heard that Yan Qinghou is kind-hearted, loyal, righteous and courageous, does not take a penny from the people when he marches past the villages, has strict military discipline, and is a god of a hundred battles, and is the god general of Jiang State. I just want to know how important this woman's life is compared to yours, and whether you really love your people like a son, as the world says. After saying that, Jin Zhen suddenly swung his sword and stabbed the woman from behind. Jin Zhen's strength was weak, and the sword didn't pierce deeply, but the woman's back was also soaked red. The woman fell to the ground and groaned in pain, and finally raised her head to look at Yan Qinghou.

"Ah~ you brute. Yan Qinghou saw the woman's helpless eyes, and was furious, and Jin Zhen saw that the situation was not good, and immediately grabbed a child from the house. The child's mother was the woman who had fallen to the ground. When the woman saw that the child she had beaten was caught by Jin Zhen, she forgot that she was also seriously injured, and crawled on the ground with her red hands, crying for Jin Zhen to release her son. The child saw his mother lying on the ground pleading for mercy, weeping bitterly, and constantly calling for his mother. Jin Zhen picked him up and said to Yan Qinghou: "Come on! Let me tell you, when you kill me, the whole village will be buried for me." There are thirty-one households in the entire village, with a total of fifty-five people, and they don't know if these fifty-five lives are enough to make Yan Qinghou bow his head. If you come hard, then it depends on whether your sword is fast or my sword is fast. As soon as Jin Zhen said this, the villagers in the house were frightened, forcing Yan Qinghou to be in a dilemma.

Yan Qinghou looked at the immature child, who was only seven years old, but he was an innocent childhood but witnessed the tragic situation of his relatives at this age, and the sword he raised could not be put down slowly. The soldiers beside him reminded him not to be blackmailed by the enemy, but to focus on the overall situation. But he said to the soldiers: "The foundation of the country is the people, and if the lives of the people cannot be saved, there will be no one to protect the country." I, Yan Qinghou, am just a military general, and I have long thought that I will one day be shrouded in horse leather. And those children are the future of Jiang Guo! What hope is there for a country without a future! Don't your parents also want you to go home after the war? What is the point of victory when everyone in the family is dead? I can't do it while I see them sent to their deaths. Everyone was still trying to persuade him, he waved his hand to show that he had made up his mind, and asked Jin Zhen: "Don't you just want my life, I will give you the head, but you have to release all the villagers." “

Jin Zhen is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he put down the child and said: "This is not good, this is not the same as no hostage, what if you want to turn your face and kill me." It's better to cut yourself with a sword, and I'll let someone go. “

Hearing such shameless words, the soldiers were all boiling, they couldn't bear to be so provocative, and they all asked to kill the enemy, but they were all stopped by Yan Qinghou. Yan Qinghou agreed without hesitation, making Jin Zhen overjoyed, but the hostages in the house were grief-stricken when they heard it.

There were many villagers squatting in the house, and everyone was crowded into this airtight house, like a lamb in a cage to be slaughtered, and there was nowhere to put it in their hearts. Most of the villagers were old people, women, and children, and young people had either gone to the battlefield or had already died on the battlefield. A young woman was also very desperate when she heard this, she knew that Yan Qinghou was now being coerced and couldn't help herself, but he was a good person who had ensured the border security of Jiang Country for several years, if they caused Yan Qinghou to die today, Da Jiang Country would become the fish and meat of any country, and he would be slaughtered by others. She soon sobered up and quietly talked to the villagers: "Jin Zhen, a shameless person, has always been untrustworthy. He wants to kill Yan Qinghou, but he will not let us go. General Yan is a rare general in our Jiang country, and the other soldiers are spending all day and wine in the national capital, only he is willing to go to the border to meet the enemy. We can't drag him back and rush to fight with the Qi people!" The news spread among the villagers one by one, and everyone was inspired by this woman and prepared to die.

The news also reached Yan Che's ears. Yan Che and the others had been at the back of the house all along, and even though he couldn't see the scene inside through the thick walls, he could hear the villagers' plans with his ears. But Yan Che didn't understand that the people in it were all afraid and desperate at the beginning, and they were actually driven by a woman, and suddenly everyone had the mentality of seeing death as home, and had the courage to break the kettle. However, if you really have the intention of burning all the jade, you must also have that ability. Yan Che sensed that there were about twenty soldiers guarding the house, these villagers were unarmed, and fighting with them was tantamount to using mantis arms as a chariot, and it was impossible to help Yan Qinghou at all. Their death will make Yan Qinghou lose his cool head, and once he can't calm down, he may lose everything on the ever-changing battlefield.

Outside the house, Yan Qinghou stepped forward alone, put down the sword in his hand, and plunged the sword into the ground. After arriving in front of Jin Zhen, he helped the injured woman up, and then motioned for Jin Zhen to release her. Jin Zhen put down the child in his hand, and after the child fell to the ground, he ran to the injured woman and cried, and the woman also held her child and burst into tears. But Jin Zhen raised his bow and arrow from the guard next to him and aimed it at the child, Jin Zhen said to Yan Qinghou: "General Yan, you have to keep your promise, otherwise I will cross the river and tear down the bridge." “

Yan Qinghou motioned to the woman to leave with the child in his arms, he picked up the sword on the ground, swung the sword and cut his left leg, but Jin Zhen still signaled the soldiers to release the arrow after seeing Yan Qinghou self-harm. The arrow from the bow shot at the child, and Yan Qinghou blocked the arrow with his body when the thousand troops were shot. The fleeing woman turned around and found Yan Qinghou protecting them with her body. Yan Qinghou said with difficulty: "Hurry up!"

Seeing that the woman and the child had returned to his troops, Yan Qinghou turned around, became furious, and scolded: "You brute, what are you doing? “

Jin Zhen deliberately said shyly: "Oh, I have no power to restrain the chicken, and I didn't shoot this arrow, what are you yelling at me? How can I let go of two of you just by cutting one sword? But the general is really a good man, and even if he is injured, he will keep the people safe. You're so great, even I feel like I'm really a shameless person. Hahaha, let's just save time, this will you cut yourself a few more times, I'll put a few more people. If you hack yourself to death with a sword, I'll just let everyone go. “

Although Yan Qinghou was injured, he still stood firmly. For the sake of the lives of all the people in the house, he swung his sword and slashed at his left hand and chest. The blood on his chest kept dripping on the ground, and the Jiang soldiers behind him couldn't bear to look at it. Seeing that Yan Qinghou drew two more lines towards him, Jin Zhen motioned to his subordinates to put two more villagers, and at the same time said to Yan Qinghou: "General Yan, there are fifty-five people in this Xiaojia Village, you are too slow to use a sword and a sword, there are dozens of them in it, when did you cut off your head like this." Why don't we play bigger, if you cut off one of your own hands, I will put ten people at a time, and if you cut off one leg, I will put ten more people, and your limbs can save forty people, isn't it a good idea?

Yan Che frowned when he heard this behind the wall, he didn't expect that humans could be so shameless. The people of the Demon Realm have great respect for their opponents, and they have never been as shameless as him. His magic eye could see the short-lived future - he saw the villagers rise up and be killed by the guards, Yan Qinghou was outnumbered and killed while wounded, and then the pursuers surrounded the village, and the whole village was bleeding. But the future he sees is short-lived and can be changed at any time, and he hopes that the future he sees will not come true. If the hearts of people in the world are so ugly, then there will be no pure land on earth, no place where he can spend the rest of his life in peace. He asked the others to stand by behind the wall, and let Cain lead him into the house. Yin used the shadow to escape, let Yan Che enter the dark shadow, and entered the room through a crack in the window.

The black shadow wandered to the corner of the room, and a circular black shadow appeared on the ground, and Yan Che and Yin appeared from this shadow. Stealth was used, and the people in the house had not yet discovered them. One of the soldiers grabbed the young woman and wanted to release her, but the woman actually asked the soldier to release the child first, indicating that she was willing to stay behind. The soldier sneered: "Don't think that you can really live if you go out, if this Yan Qinghou dies, you will become a slave of the Qi State sooner or later." I see that you look good, little girl, so it is better to follow me first, so as not to suffer too much later. The shameless soldier tried to belittle her, but the girl resisted and died, and finally another soldier said that he would release the person and let him not waste time, so the soldier let the girl go, and then took an old man and took him out of the house.

After Yan Che witnessed this scene with his own eyes, it inspired the long-buried humanity in his heart. He felt that he couldn't sit idly by, and told him before that he would see the unevenness of the road, and that the purpose of strengthening himself was to better help others. If no one takes the initiative to help, then one day they will be lonely when they encounter difficulties. Yan Che originally wanted to live in seclusion, but it seems that fate has arranged for him to stand up.

He asked the concealment to unravel it, and his body appeared in the corner. The guards in the house instantly noticed a person standing up in the corner, and was about to ask him who he was, but before the words could be spoken, blood flowed from the mouth of the soldier who wanted to speak. The other soldiers suffered the same thing, being fatally hit without a sound. Only Yin slowly walked out from behind Yan Che, holding two blood-dripping daggers in his hands. This pair of daggers is called "Twin Shadows", seeing the blood sealing the throat, what Yin just used was an instantaneous killing, which was a silent killing technique, and with only this move, twenty people were killed without leaving a sound.

After the soldier fell to the ground, the villagers looked at the mysterious assassin and Yan Che in surprise, not knowing whether they were friends or foes, only to see that these two looked unusually dressed, especially Yan Che actually had a pair of horns on his head, which was obviously not human. Seeing the soldiers fall, they didn't have time to analyze Yan Che's identity, and their determination to resist had reached a climax. The young woman who had taken the lead stood up, thanked Yan Che for her help, and then encouraged everyone to rush out of the house. But Yan Che didn't let her get her wish and stepped forward to stop her. The woman saw that the man in front of her was handsome, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, black hair and red eyes, and if it weren't for a pair of horns on his head, he would be no different from ordinary people.

Yan Che said, "You know what, it's useless for you to do this. In the end, the whole army was wiped out. If you had come to your senses earlier and had resisted before the general arrived, perhaps the outcome would have been different. The general outside the house would have lost his mind if he saw you die by the sword, and he would have been defeated while wounded. And the other party has a back hand, and I can feel that there is a breath not far away that has been gathering momentum, and it is estimated that after the plan fails, the general's person can be completely wiped out. ”

After hearing Yan Che's words, the woman seemed to be incomprehensible, especially the "induction" and "qi" in Yan Che's mouth, which made her confused, but she still asked politely: "Then, then you, is there a way to solve it?"

Yin immediately scolded her: "What kind of tone do you have, dare to call the young master "you", a lowly species, but an ant on the ground dares to be so ignorant of life and death." Then he put his dagger around the woman's neck, as if to end the woman's life in punishment for her previous disrespectful words. Yan Che immediately waved his hand to warn Yin not to be unreasonable. "They're not ants, they're grasshoppers that can shake trees," he said. Yin immediately understood Yan Che's order, withdrew the dagger, and disappeared into Yan Che's shadow. When everyone saw that they had disappeared into Yan Che's shadow, Dafa sighed with emotion, saying that Yan Che must have come down from heaven to save Jiang Guo.

Yan Che heard the villagers call him a god, and he wanted to laugh in his heart, after all, he was a demon, and if they knew that he was a demon, he probably wouldn't be happy. My father used to say that humans hate demons the most, and they have hated them since thousands of years ago, even if they have forgotten the reason for hating them.

When the woman saw that Yan Che had miraculous skills, she thought that Yan Che was still more convincing if she was indeed Yan Che, and she also felt that Yan Che would help them. The woman said, "Master, I hope you will show mercy and save our country from danger. Jiang Guo has no Yan Qinghou, like a plate of loose sand, and then it will only be eaten by all countries, and the lives will be ruined. No matter what you ask afterwards, the little woman will agree to you. Then the woman knelt down to Yan Che, and all the villagers in the house also knelt down, asking Yan Che to help.

A smile appeared on Yan Che's face. He lifted the woman up, and said in a tone of uncertainty, "You, were you just begging me to help you?"

The woman thought that this man was also a person of rights, not a chivalrous man, and it seemed that he was also a good retribution, but for the sake of the overall situation, she said: "If the master is willing to make a move, the little woman can make a cow and a horse for you." ”

Yan Che immediately explained: "I didn't mean that, and I don't need cows or horses." I'm just making sure you're begging me to help you. To be honest, I'm still a little happy in my heart, I've always been calling others to grow up like this, and no one has ever asked me to do something. Then he slowly walked out of the house and said to the woman, "I will help you." The most important thing is that I can't get used to the other party's behavior is too despicable. Just as he wanted to walk out, Yan Che turned back to the woman and asked, "Do you have a name?"

The woman said, "The little woman's name is Fu Qinggu." ”

"Okay, Fu Qinggu, you are the first person I helped. ”

"I haven't asked His Excellency yet. ”

"There is no daimyō, the name is Yan Che. ”

Then Yan Che walked out of the house, and everyone looked at his departing back, and their hearts were worried. And Yan Che started his first major event in the world.
