Chapter 004: Prisoner Robbery

Ten years of Holy You.

In the south of the Shengyuan Empire, looking across the Ling River, a large area of fiery red appeared on the blue river surface opposite at this moment, and the red and blue formed a sharp contrast, and the ships passing by the Ling River were basically attracted by this fire burning on the water, and they couldn't help but stop and watch. But no one dared to approach, just because there was a name that everyone feared in that red and fiery place: Changting Zhou.

Moreover, there is a contemporary sword saint living in Changting Continent: Du Xu.

Changting Zhou has two continents in the north and south, everyone in the north continent can go up, but to reach the south continent, you need to pass through a river that runs through the long pavilion continent, this river is called "Qing River", and the actual sense of the long pavilion is only the south continent, from the north continent you can clearly see the opposite side of the long pavilion, behind the long pavilion is a large forest and bamboo forest, green mountains and green waters, covering each other, as elegant and tranquil as the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

There were attempts to cross the infinitely wide Qing River to reach Nanzhou on the other side, but all of them failed, and every time the ship reached the central area, the boat would be pulled into the bottom by a whirlpool that appeared for no reason. As long as there are ships within a radius of one mile, Changting Continent will be swallowed, and Changting Continent is known as the tomb of ships, except for the contemporary Sword Saint, no one has ever really reached there.

Some people say that it is the formation arranged by Du Xu, he has been retired to the rivers and lakes for many years, and he doesn't want to ask too much about the things in the rivers and lakes, and he doesn't want the people in the rivers and lakes to disturb, so he arranges the formation around Changtingzhou to prevent all outsiders from arriving. Some people also said that they had seen traces of dragons around the river, and the dragons were preventing outsiders from entering Changting Island. Some people even say that Changting Continent has been like this since ancient times, it is a strange natural phenomenon formed naturally, and the Sword Saint Duxu completely relied on his own strength to pass through that area. There are different opinions, and there is no consensus, perhaps only those who live in Changting Continent know the reason.

Compared with the uncalm water surface of Changtingzhou, Changtingzhou is a quiet and peaceful scene at this moment, with phoenix flowers clustering around the green bamboo forest, and the mottled reflection of the trees on the ground, the breeze blowing, and the light and shadow are sufficient. The loft sits like a hermit, enjoying the tranquility and tranquility of the area.

"Senior Brother Qingming, it seems that your swordsmanship has improved again!" a young man in a green shirt looked at the boy in white opposite and said with a smile.

"It's the little priest brother who let me go!" the boy in white replied embarrassedly, touching the back of his head.

"Don't be modest, I feel your great progress every day, and in time, you will surpass me!"

"Brother Little Priest is laughing!"

"I said yes, although I have cultivated for five or six years more than you, but your talented gentleman has given you a high evaluation, I believe in the words of the gentleman!" said the young man in the green shirt put away the wooden sword in his hand and put his arm around the shoulder of the boy in white.

Just as the boy in white relaxed his vigilance, the young man grabbed him by the waist and tried to throw him over the shoulder. Unexpectedly, the boy in white reacted so quickly and responded immediately, both of them grabbed each other's shoulders, and they were both looking for an opportunity to knock each other down. Even though the Aoyama boy was a head taller than the boy in white, the Aoyama boy did not gain the upper hand because of this. The strength of the boy in white was not inferior to half a point compared to it.

The two of them froze like this for a few minutes, and finally let go of each other and lay down on the ground, both gasping for air.

"Senior Brother Qingming, you are really a strange person, your strength is the same as mine at a young age, it seems that I am six years older than you!"

The boy in white was still panting, unable to respond immediately to the words of the young man in green shirts, and the young man in green shirts didn't mind, he put his hands behind his head, looking at the light and shadow projected through the leaves and the red phoenix flowers, it was the season for the phoenix flowers to bloom, and the entire Changting Continent seemed to be drowned in a sea of fire.

The boy in white calmed down slightly, turned his head to look at the young man next to him, and originally wanted to say something to him, when he saw him with his eyes closed, enjoying this piece of daylight. I also put my hands behind my head, silently closed my eyes, and listened carefully to the whispers of this piece of nature.

The boy in white is named Qing Ming, and the young man in green shirt is the little shepherd boy who followed Du Xue back then.

"I heard my husband say that after crossing the Qinghe River, I arrived at Beizhou, which is a place of contact with the outside world, and further north, there is a river called Lingjiang, the river level is as gentle as the smoke and rain in the Jiangnan area, I really want to go out to have a look, even if it is a glance, I am satisfied!"

Komaki opened his eyes and muttered to himself as he looked at the shadows of the trees swaying above his head, as if he was talking to the Qing Ming beside him.

"My husband brought me here since I was a child, and I've lived here with him since I can remember, and I've been treating him like a father for a long time," Komaki paused for a moment and continued, "Now that another six years have passed, and I don't know what happened to the outside world."

"Mr. said that the outside world is very chaotic, it is better to stay in Changting Continent safely, does the little priest brother want to go to the continent opposite?" Qing Ming turned his head to look at the young man in green shirt who was staying next to him.

"Haha..... It's just a joke, even if I want to go out, there is no way, after all, it is only possible to cross the Qinghe River if I reach the kind of cultivation that Mr. has!" Xiao Mu smiled, stood up, patted off the remaining dust on his body, looked at Qing Ming who sat up and said, "Senior Brother Qing Ming, you are still young, you will have this kind of idea in the future! Why go back to the attic and read a book!"

After speaking, he pulled Qing Ming and quickly ran to the library near the attic.

I don't know when a fiery red flower has fallen behind him, the breeze blows, the flowers flutter with the wind, the bamboo forest next to it also makes a rustling sound, and the sound of wind chimes on the pavilion is faintly heard not far away.

Located in the most prosperous imperial capital in the northern part of the empire.

On the bustling avenue, prisoner cars were escorted by soldiers to the execution ground, surrounded by crowds of people who had come to watch the excitement, some people pointed at the people in the prisoner car, some people kept sighing, as if they felt sorry for the people in the prison car, and some people showed sad and indignant expressions, and there were still tears on their faces.

This is the biggest unjust case of the Shengyuan Empire recorded in the history books of later generations: the Shengyou tragedy.

This incident caused a sensation throughout the empire, and of course, the capital city located at the foot of the Son of Heaven felt the turmoil from within the court for the first time.

The three people at the front of the execution ground were unkempt, and one of them raised his head to the sky and shouted: "Only one step away! Only one step away! Han Quan, traitorous minister, heaven does not tolerate it, and heaven will die Saint Yuan!"

"Lord Wang is wronged, Lord Wang!"

Some of the surrounding onlookers were visibly agitated and wanted to rush forward, but were stopped by soldiers holding spears to maintain order.

"Hey, Lord Wang is a good official, how could he unite with the other two courtiers to murder the emperor!"

"That's right! Lord Wang has always been sympathetic to the people's feelings and concerned about our suffering, how could he do such a thing, someone must have framed him!"

"But this is the emperor's personal will!"

......

The surrounding crowd was noisy and shouting, and some people wanted to take the opportunity to riot, but these soldiers were really powerful, and all those who came out to make trouble were beaten half to death on the spot, and this deterrent effect temporarily suppressed the surrounding crowd who wanted to riot.

Just as the riot was about to stop, a group of black-clothed men jumped out of the attic into the escort procession, and the soldiers who were about to deliver the team hurriedly shouted: "Someone has hijacked the prisoner's car!

There was a sudden chaos in the field, and the crowd of onlookers fled in all directions, and this group of black-clothed people were instantly surrounded by soldiers holding spears, and at first facing these soldiers, the black-clothed people were still in a no-man's land, and those soldiers were not their opponents at all. Seeing that Lord Wang's prisoner car was close in front of him, but at this moment, many people in brocade clothes suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and the movement of the man in black was immediately stopped.

"Not good! Suzaku Protector, it's the one who has no shadows!" one of the men in black came to the front and said to the tall man in black.

The man in black known as Suzaku quickly frowned when he saw the person in brocade clothes appear.

"It seems that they came prepared, and they didn't know that they were from the shadow of the Xuanhuang Shadow. Watching the man in black continue to fall, the Vermilion Bird Protector gritted his teeth, only one step away from success, if he retreated, then this mission to rescue Lord Wang would be considered a failure.

He gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Rescue" The person next to him was obviously stunned when he heard the order, and now they were completely caught in the trap of the Shadowless Guard.

"But......" He wanted to say something more, but the Vermilion Bird Protector didn't listen to him, and he rushed to the front first, fighting with those Jinwei.

Suzaku was just about to approach the prisoner car, when suddenly a cold sword stabbed her throat, she turned backwards, and suddenly dodged this sudden attack, when she saw the person opposite, her face was instantly difficult to see: "Earth Evil Cloud Brand!"

"You know my name, it seems that you are not small!" The man in the brocade robe was visibly stunned, showing a slightly surprised look.

Suzaku just wanted to retreat, but his figure was instantly stopped.

"Since you're here, you don't have to go!"

The Earth Shadow Qiang Cloud slammed a palm on Suzaku's back, and Suzaku was hit by this sudden blow, vomiting blood and flying away.

"Fourth sister!"

Seeing this, the people on the other side repelled the guards around them and hugged Suzaku who fell to the ground.

"Second brother! Yes...... It's the one who is in the shadow of the Shadowless Guard," Suzaku passed out after saying this.

"Fourth sister, fourth sister!" no matter how much he called the person in his arms, he didn't respond at all,

"It seems that this operation still underestimated Han Quan!"

Shadowless Guard is an organization under Han Quan, divided into upper shadow and lower shadow, the upper shadow has two shadows of heaven and earth, and the lower shadow has two shadows of Xuanshui and Yellow Sand, they thought that Han Quan would definitely send Xuanhuang two shadows out, after all, the shadow of heaven and earth has never appeared.

He looked around, and found that half of the companions who came to hijack had been lost, and at the end of the avenue, some guards of the imperial city kept rushing to this side, if it continued like this, the whole army would be destroyed, he took out the flute from his arms, and blew the sound of the retreating flute, and those men in black heard the flute, gathered together, and hurriedly evacuated around.

"You retreat with the Suzaku Protector first, and I'll cover it!" After he finished speaking, he handed the Suzaku in his arms to a man in black beside him, and led some men and horses to the rear to block the attack from the Shadowless Guards and Guards.

"Yes" The man took the Suzaku and hurriedly joined the black team that had faded like a tide.

Qiang Yunbrand greeted the black-clothed man who was at the front of the team with a palm, he was the leader of this group of black-clothed people, after a move, Qiang Yunbrand was shocked back, he couldn't help but be surprised, he didn't expect that the skill of the person in front of him was the same as his own, it seems that the origin is really not small, but I don't understand which faction in the rivers and lakes it comes from.

The black-clothed man on the opposite side was also obviously shocked by Qiang Yun and took dozens of steps back, just as shocked in his heart, he didn't expect the Shadowless Guard's Earth Shadow strength to be so strong.

Qiang Yunbrand wanted to make another move, but the person on the other side put a *. When * dissipated, he disappeared into the street with several people around him, Qiang Yunyan squinted his eyes at the figures that disappeared at the end, and without his own command, the people around him immediately chased after him.

Qiang Yunyan looked at all this, and did not chase after it, but turned his head and walked in the direction of the imperial city.

......

Just as this scene was happening in the Imperial City, the distant Changting Continent finally welcomed its first guest, a man wrapped in a black robe and a little girl covered in blood, to be exact.
