Chapter 3 The Man from the River
Li Xiaokuan and the others carried the injured man to the straw mat in the house, took some boiling water and made a dose of "robbery soup" for him to take.
"Snatching people soup" is made by Li Guiyuan himself with a lot of strange medicinal materials, dried and formed into lumps, and each time he takes a corner and mixes it with water, it has a miraculous effect on injuries and diseases. The name is also simple, which means snatching people from under the hands of Lord Yama.
Speaking of which, I have really snatched back a lot of people over the years.
After a dose of medicine, a faint sweat immediately oozed from the injured man's forehead, and his face gradually became bloody.
After settling the man, Li Xiaokuan went out to help Shi Ke'an cook fish soup, and Li Guiyuan went back to the boat to sort out the things he fished this time.
After dinner, Li Xiaokuan returned to the house to see the man's condition, and when he opened the door, he suddenly felt wrong, the straw mat was empty, and the man suddenly disappeared at some point.
He was about to go out to look for it, when suddenly a powerful force came from behind, and he fell to the ground, and the joints of his hands were stuck and he couldn't use his strength, and he fell hard and ate. At the same time, the door was gently shut.
Before he could struggle, a sharp blade pressed against Li Xiaokuan's neck. At the same time, a hoarse and low voice sounded in his ears.
"Silence!"
"Something ......" Li Xiaokuan just wanted to say something, and he felt that the man's strength was a little heavier, and he could clearly feel that if the man's strength was a little heavier, his throat would have to be cut.
Frightened, he quickly shut up and choked back the words in the back.
The man leaned over and whispered.
"Now, if I ask, you answer, understand?"
"Uh-huh, uh-huh. ”
Li Xiaokuan didn't dare to make a big move, so he had to reply in a nasal voice.
"Where is this?"
Li ...... Li Luo Village. ”
"The northern border of the Chu Kingdom?"
"Yes. ”
"You saved me?"
"It's my grandfather. ”
The man was silent for a while, and then said lightly, "You haven't seen me. Remember?"
"Remembered. ”
After speaking, the man withdrew the strength in his hand.
Li Xiaokuan breathed a long sigh of relief, the taste of being held against a knife was really uncomfortable, and he complained silently in his heart: Grandpa Li is really, the search has not been cleaned, and I almost lost my life.
It's just that when I got up, I suddenly felt that something was wrong, and I saw that the man's eyes were like knives, pointing at him fiercely, and the knife light seemed to be mixed with some doubts and thoughts.
"You are?"
Li Xiaokuan was stunned, and his shoulders were grabbed by the man with two hands like eagle claws.
"It's you!"
"What...... What?"
The man's breathing was unexpectedly a little disordered, and his face was flushed with excitement.
"It's you, it's you, it's you, it's you!"
The man kept repeating these words.
"How...... What's wrong? You know me?"
"Where is Feiyu, where is His Highness Feiyu?" The man trembled excitedly, the strength in his hand unconsciously became heavier, and Li Xiaokuan, who was pinching, was in pain. But Li Xiaokuan seemed to have been struck by lightning, dumbfounded and stupid, and did not react.
After a long time, Li Xiaokuan asked with a dry throat, "Are you?"
"I'm Yan Liang, the thirty-second Feiyu, take me to see His Highness Feiyu! Hahaha! It's been seven years, and I've finally found you!"
"What's wrong with you, why don't you speak?"
"His Highness Feiyu...... Already ......"
Yan Liang was stunned for a moment, and some unknown fire silently ignited in his eyes when he looked at Li Xiaokuan. He slammed Li Xiaokuan away and let him sit on the ground.
"You fart. ”
At this moment, Yan Liang's eyes and tone were unprecedentedly indifferent.
"I remember you, you are the shadowless person of His Royal Highness Feiyu. If the master is gone, how can the shadowless man survive?"
"Or are you greedy for life and afraid of death, and don't dare to die in front of your master?"
Li Xiaokuan didn't answer, just lowered his head silently.
Yan Liang looked down at him, his gaze like a knife.
"You dare to lie that your master is falling, you are so bold! I cleaned up your rotten dog for His Highness Feiyu today!"
After saying that, Yan Liang's cuffs shot out a cold light, and he wanted to take Li Xiaokuan's head.
Suddenly, Yan Liang's waving hand stopped suddenly.
His eyes were full of disbelief staring straight at the ground, or Li Xiaokuan's shadow.
"Shadow ......"
Yan Liang muttered.
"How can you have ...... Shadow ......"
Li Xiaokuan raised his head slowly and said to Yan Liang very calmly.
"Sit down and talk slowly. ”
......
The Shadowless Man is a special existence on the Jinyuan Continent.
Although they don't look much different from humans on the outside, the most special thing is that they have no shadow.
Throughout history, the Shadowless have been the embodiment of uncleanness and curse. Because they are not recognized by this world, even the light can pass through them without fear, as if through a void.
People don't know where they come from, they have human bodies, but they don't have human intelligence. All the shadowless people are of low intelligence, and the most intelligent one of the shadowless people recorded in historical records is as intelligent as a three-year-old human child.
Years ago, everyone had a fear of the Shadowless. They believe that the shadowless will bring disaster to people, and they are the reverse seed of the world. Because it went against the will of the world, the entire race was cursed.
Therefore, every country has issued a kill order for the shadowless people, and they will be killed when they see it.
Until the accession of Qin Wangyang, he was the first to cancel the killing order of the shadowless people, and instead offered rewards to various places, hoping to send the living shadowless people into the Qin state.
At first, people from various countries did not know the reason, but because of their advantage, they sent them to Qin to receive a bounty after capturing the shadowless person.
It was sent for many years, and thousands of shadowless people came to the Qin State. Just when everyone laughed at King Qin's stupidity and gave money to buy garbage in vain, batch after batch of shadowless troops appeared on the battlefield of Qin.
At this time, people learned that it turned out that the Qin State had mastered the method of taming the Shadowless Man, but it was too late.
Although the shadowless people are intellectually underground, they are all powerful and tireless. With a little training, it is extremely powerful on the battlefield.
And the army composed of shadowless people can be called a meat grinder on the battlefield. Wherever you go, you can't meet your opponents.
Since then, the Qin State has relied on the Shadowless People to fight many major battles one after another, and has become the first power on the Jinyuan Continent.
However, there was no shadow of success, and there was no shadow of defeat, and when the national strength of the Qin State was at its peak, the other four countries of the Jinyuan Continent used the excuse of purging the shadowless and punishing the Qin State. conspired with the Qin State to launch the Sihe Change, completely breaking up the Qin State from the inside out.
Who would have thought that the behemoth that had just emerged would overturn overnight.
Even today, seven years later, when many people talk about this matter after dinner, they can't help but sigh.
You must know that when the Qin State was strong, Qin Wanglu was still a well-known benevolent monarch. Many of the policies issued are extremely beneficial to the people and are quite loved by the people.
Moreover, King Qin has a son named Feiyu, who is a genius rarely encountered in the Jinyuan Continent for thousands of years, heroic and approachable, which can be described as the dream of countless Jinyuan girls at that time.
At the same time, Qin Yuan, the princess of Qin State, was the first beauty and the first talented woman in Jin Yuan at that time, and he was a courttender of the royal family, and he could circle around Qin City twice, and even a prince was willing to take his country as a bride price and enter the Qin State, but not long after the news was released, the prince was impeached and stepped down by the House of Elders, and became a joke at the time, but it was enough to see the charm of this princess of Qin.
However, people at that time probably could not have imagined that something earth-shattering would happen afterward.
——
At the birthday banquet of his 60th birthday, the head of Qin Wanglu was cut off and hung on the city tower.
Qin Yuan was imprisoned in a private palace by King Nanguo and reduced to a plaything.
Qin Feiyu is still missing.
The land of Qin was divided among neighboring countries.
The royal bloodline of the Qin State was almost slaughtered.
The Great Qin, overnight, overturned.
Now in the land of the original Qin State, no one dares to say that they are Qin people.
Because those who dare to speak are dead.
