"What are you laughing at?!"

After seeing Zhang Xiaopaw listen to his words, instead of feeling a little self-reproach, remorse, worry and fear, the ghost face was full of smiles, as if he was listening to a joke, and he didn't take his words seriously at all, and immediately pulled down his face and asked angrily.

"First of all, Li Haotian is a person with pride in his bones and a supreme sense of military honor. Zhang Xiaopaw said.

"His pride makes him disdain to borrow the hand of the bigtoothed dog to kill me for revenge, and a proud person like him will definitely do this kind of thing himself. ”

His sense of military honor makes him loyal to Dayu and will never do anything unfavorable to Dayu. ”

"So he won't betray me in public or private. ”

"Secondly, if I were him, I wouldn't leave Big Tooth, because with a person I would definitely not be able to go fast, once the Mu family or the Wanyan family sent a star powerhouse to pursue, it would be absolutely a dead end to flee north, so escaping south to the depths of Big Tooth is the way to live. ”

"Besides, if you can sit here and talk to me calmly about Li Haotian, it means that the matter has been taken care of by you, so what else do I have to worry about?"

Zhang Xiaopaw smiled and talked eloquently.

"Two words for you: stupid!" Ghostface sneered.

"If you make a major decision based on your self-righteous feelings, I will immediately terminate your mission and send you back to Dayu. ”

"I'd like to give you another word: there is nothing more fickle in the world than the human heart. ”

"If you're used to judging things by your feelings, one day you'll pay for it. ”

"The boy was taught. Zhang Xiaopaw said.

"Hopefully. Ghost Face raised his eyelids and glanced at Zhang Xiaopu, skeptical of Zhang Xiaopaw's "teaching", but did not continue the topic, and instead asked, "When you entered the door, you said that you were looking for me, is there something wrong?"

"There's a personal matter I want to ask for help. Zhang Xiaopaw nodded in response.

"What's the matter?" Oniface asked.

"I want to ask the adults to help sell a few items. Zhang Xiaopaw took out a piece of jade pendant from his arms and put it on the table, flicked his fingers, and the jade pendant slid in front of the ghost face, and asked, "I wonder if there is a way for adults to sell this kind of object in the territory of Daya?"

Ghost Face took the jade pendant in his hand, felt the effect of the jade pendant, and asked, "What price do you want to sell it for?"

"Fifty grains of Yuan Shi Jindan. Zhang Xiaopaw replied.

"What's in it for me?" Ghostface asked bluntly.

"For every piece sold, I will give the adult five Yuan Shi Jin Dan as a reward, if the adult has a way to sell it at a higher price, no matter how much is more, it will go to the adult. Zhang Xiaopaw said.

"Ten grains, otherwise don't talk about it. Ghost Face said.

"Yes. Zhang Xiaopaw agreed.

The corners of the ghost's mouth twitched twice, he was still waiting to bargain with Zhang Xiaopu, he never thought that Zhang Xiaopaw would agree so happily, which made him feel that he was going to be less, and he regretted it.

"How many do you want to sell?" asked Oniface, suppressing the frustration in his heart.

"Hmm-" Zhang Xiaopaw pondered for a moment and said, "Sell five hundred pieces first." ”

"Get out!"

"Do you want it to be the price of cabbage?" Ghost Face scolded angrily, and at the same time confirmed one thing, Zhang Xiaopaw would definitely have no effort to bless these objects.

"How many pieces do you think is more appropriate?" asked Zhang Xiaopaw embarrassedly.

Ghost Face pondered for a moment and said, "Sell a hundred pieces first to see how the market is." ”

"Wait a minute, sir. Zhang Xiaopaw got up and walked to the bedroom, and after a while, he turned back, with an extra bulging burden in his hand, handed it to Ghost Face and said, "There is Lord Lao." ”

......

There is a stone tablet in the secret room of the Wanyan family's treasure house that is not known to outsiders.

This stele is dug out in an ancient tomb by the third generation ancestor of the Wanyan family, which is one zhang and two inches high, four feet four inches wide, and one foot two inches thick, and the whole body is jade white.

From the outside, it looks like it was cut from a huge piece of warm jade, and its semi-transparent soft color gives people a feeling of being untouched, but in fact it is indestructible.

A strong star of the Wanyan family, who had passed away, once held a sharp sword that was as iron as clay, and slashed on this stone tablet with all his might, but this star powerhouse was shocked by the huge anti-seismic force and cracked his mouth, spitting blood, but he couldn't even leave a white mark on the stone tablet.

But such an indestructible stone tablet was engraved with seventy-two inscriptions that I don't know if they were words or runes.

What is particularly shocking is that these 72 inscription marks do not look like they are carved by sharp weapons such as chisels or swords, but like they are drawn by human fingers.

This discovery shocked the people of the Wanyan family, and they couldn't imagine how advanced their cultivation was to be able to draw on such a hard tablet with their fingers.

They did not dare to invite a superior person to answer their curiosity, for fear of luring the wolf into the house and being robbed of this treasure.

This stele is indeed a treasure.

Seventy-two inscriptions seem to be ordinary, but in fact there are hidden mysteries, each inscription contains profound laws and mysteries, people with average talent and understanding are sitting on the stele for a few years, and they can't get in.

Since the stone tablet has been so far, one of the most talented ancestors of the Wanyan family has only understood through 12 inscriptions, and his cultivation is like a boat sailing down the river, almost all the way smoothly to reach the realm of a half-step saint.

It's a pity that his talent and comprehension seem to have been exhausted by the first twelve inscriptions, and after sitting in front of the stone tablet for sixty-three years, he couldn't understand the thirteenth inscription, and at the same time, his cultivation also stagnated in the half-step saint realm and no longer improved.

His later years were spent in depression in front of the stele, and finally died with regrets.

"You'd better come out every three or five days to get some air, but don't be like them, all of them are stunned. ”

In the dimly lit underground secret room, after Yan Yongnan told Zhang Xiaopaw about the secrets and functions of the stone stele, he pointed to the forty or fifty people sitting in the secret room and sighed.

"What's wrong with them?" asked Zhang Xiaopaw curiously.

He found that all of them were pale and skinny, and their beards were long and disheveled, like a bird's nest, and the ash stains on their bodies were more than an inch thick, and they were lifted up in pieces, like the bark of an old dry tree, and their clothes were all rotten and tattered, like beggars and evil spirits.

"They are all the core children of my Wanyan family, and all of them are extremely talented, but they are all deeply trapped in the stone inscription and can't extricate themselves, and they are crazy about it. They hadn't been out of the secret room for more than ten years, twenty years, or even fifty or sixty years. ”

Zhang Xiaopu was taken aback when he heard this, and said in his heart, no wonder these people are so terrifying.

"Hey, in the past few decades, my Wanyan family has gradually withered, and outsiders think that my Wanyan family is exhausted and will eventually decline, but they don't know that it is all caused by this damn stone stele. ”

"Sometimes I want to take this damn stele out and throw it away. ”

"It buries the future of my Wanyan family!" Wanyan Yongnan said heartbrokenly.

"Fortunately, it's not too late to make amends, we have hidden the existence of the stele from the core members of the family for more than ten years, and as long as we hold on for another twenty or thirty years, our Wanyan family will be able to rejuvenate and rise again. ”

"Well, if it weren't for the imminent war and the fact that you're almost on fire in terms of combat power, I wouldn't have let you venture here. ”

"Although there is no fighting here, in my heart this place is far more terrible than the battlefield of fighting. There is a terrible demon living here, which has turned this small stone chamber into a tomb of the living dead, eating people without spitting out bones. ”

"Remember, don't be seduced by demons. ”

"Don't let me down!"

"The lord cultivated painstakingly, and remembered it with gratitude. Please rest assured that the lord will not disappoint the lord. Zhang Xiaopaw saluted.

"I believe in you. ”

......

December 30, 828.

Chinese New Year's Eve.

3 p.m.

Coco, who was dressed in a goose yellow dress, was sitting under a spacious and bright grass shed.

Not far away, Li Haotian, dressed as a farmer, was chopping dumpling stuffing on the meat mound with a kitchen knife in one hand.

Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and in the evening they are going to eat dumplings.

Behind them stood three thatched huts.

To the southwest of the thatched house, there is a fenced chicken pen with more than 20 chickens and ducks in it.

Next to it are the horses, pigs, and sheepfolds.

Two acres of land were reclaimed to the southeast, and some seasonal vegetables and crops were planted.

Although it is winter in the north of Big Tooth, you don't feel the cold.

Looking around, surrounded by mountains, the greenery is getting richer and richer day by day, and it is rapidly covering the withered yellow left by the drought.

At the end of October, a violent storm swept through the northern border of Daya, watering the parched earth.

The withered grass dews new shoots, and the withered trees draw new shoots in spring.

After two months, the earth is getting greener and full of life.

For the past two and a half months, Li Haotian and Wanyan Coco have been living in this valley far away from the world, enjoying a quiet and sweet world for two.

Raising chickens and ducks, riding horses and herding sheep, cuddling grass and feeding pigs, ordinary and comfortable.

Wanyan Keke promised Li Haotian that she would temporarily let go of her hatred and accompany him to live a life without sorrow and troubles for half a year, and then she would leave the valley and embark on the road of revenge.

But Wanyan Coco found out that she had been fooled.

The hatred in her heart is being consumed little by little by the calm and sweet life.

And now, she is even afraid to think of the word "revenge", because she has a new concern and bond, and a small new life is being conceived in her belly.

She was pregnant with a child with Li Haotian.

After eating fragrant dumplings in the evening, Li Haotian led Wanyan Keke out of the grass hut and went to the valley to stroll along the path paved by the two of them.

"Ke'er, I've been seeing you preoccupied all the time in the past few days, aren't you too homesick?" Li Haotian asked softly.

"Brother Tian, I-I don't want revenge. Wanyan Coco spoke.

"Ah, why?" Li Haotian was stunned for a moment, and then asked in surprise.

"I, I might, I may, I may have joy. Wanyan Coco's cheeks flushed, and she lowered her head and said shyly.

"What's the joy?" Li Haotian didn't react at once.

However, after seeing Wan Yan Keke's left hand caressing his stomach, he reacted suddenly, staring at Wan Yan Keke's belly, and a joyful smile bloomed on his face little by little.

"Really, really?" Li Haotian took a deep breath, stretched out his hand to caress Yan Keke's stomach, and asked with both nervousness and excitement.

"Wow-" Wanyan Keke suddenly pouted and cried, beat Li Haotian with his fist, and cried and scolded: "You liar, tricked me into staying here with you for half a year, and now that I am pregnant, how can I take revenge? You say, did you have a premeditated plan? Woo, can I not avenge the murder of my father? But-how can I take revenge?"

Li Haotian stretched out his hand and hugged Wanyan Keke into his arms, and whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, this revenge must be avenged, I will help you avenge." After you give birth to the child, I will find a safe place to settle your mother and son, and I will go to help you take Yan Yongnan's dog head. ”

"No, I won't let you go, what if you have three long and two short? How can we orphans and widows live? I, a woman with big teeth, and a child of Dayu, without you to help the two of us shelter from the wind and rain, can this world accommodate the two of us?" Wanyan Keke cried.

Wanyan Keke's words made Li Haotian's heart tremble suddenly, a string in his heart was suddenly touched, and his arms holding Wanyan Keke tightened, and he assured with a solemn expression: "I swear, as long as I, Li Haotian, have a breath of air, I will never let you two suffer a little grievance." ”

......

On the blood-stained city wall, Zhang Xiaopaw and a group of big-toothed soldiers quietly gnawed on dry food.

He looked at the northern night sky, and his eyes couldn't help but show sadness.

Thinking back to every Chinese New Year's Eve since he was a child, he suddenly found that every Chinese New Year's Eve he spent was so warm and lively.

Whew-

A gust of wind blew.

Zhang Xiaopaw couldn't help but shrink back, feeling that the air in a foreign land was a little cold.

......

Baiyun City, Zhennan Palace.

Su Yang and Su Mou sat opposite each other and drank.

Without Su Hanju's Chinese New Year's Eve, the two brothers had it for the first time.

It's a little cold, but it's also a lot less restrictive.

"I heard that Zhang Xiaopaw and Niu Dawa will come back before the spring equinox to help the Qi family participate in the island survival?" asked Su Yang.

"Yes. Su Mou responded, and at the same time, a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

"I'm going to kill both of them. Su Yang said.

"No, I can solve the grievances with the two of them myself. Su Mou said. He thought that Su Yang was going to help him solve the grievances between him and Zhang Xiaopaw and Niu Dawa.

"I slaughtered Liujia Village. Su Yang said.

"What?!" Su Mou was taken aback when he heard this, and looked at Su Yang in disbelief, thinking that his ears had misheard.

"The two of them wanted to seek revenge against me, and they told my father about it. My father was ruthless and killed his relatives, so he went to Taihu City. Su Yang said.

The letter that Su Hanju left for him when he left Baiyun City told Su Yang that Su Hanju knew everything he had done.

Su Yang mistakenly thought that Zhang Xiaopaw and Niu Dawa told Su Hanju.

"I said why my father suddenly wanted to go to Taihu City, it turned out to be like this. Su Mou said, then pursed his lips and said: "It's just a group of untouchables, and the eldest brother will kill him." ”

"I think so too. Su Yang said with a smile, "But missing two flies, although they can't set off the wind and waves, they are always buzzing in their ears, which makes people upset, so it's better to slap them to death." ”

"Don't worry, big brother, I'll help you get rid of these two flies, this time I'm going to let the two of them come and go. Su Mou's eyes shot a vicious light.

"I heard that the two of them have a very good relationship with a concubine of the Qi family, and this time I helped the Qi family to participate in the isolated island survival is to help this concubine. Su Yang said.

"Yes. Su Yang said, "The concubine of the Qi family, Qi Rong'er." ”

"Caught her. ”

"Save the two flies from flinching and not daring to come. Su Yang said with a cold look.

"The woman couldn't move. Su Mou said.

"Why?"

"She has a royal status jade plate on her body, which was given to her by Su De, the thirteenth prince. It is said that the thirteenth prince went to the south to join the army, saying that he would marry this woman after returning from joining the army. Su Mou said.

"Thirteenth Prince Su De?" Su Yang frowned, he had never heard of this name.

"It was His Majesty's youngest son, born to a nobleman, and he was sent out of the palace not long after he was born to learn art, so few people knew about his existence. Su Mou said that he went to Qi Rong'er to trouble that day, and was startled by Qi Rong'er showing Su De's identity jade card, and when he came back, he specially asked Su Hanju to find out.

"An abandoned prince, no need to scruples. Besides, Qi Rong'er is a concubine, how can He De marry into the royal family? Su De is just playing at most, let's catch her and not hurt her. Su Yang said.
