Section 1 Fenzhou
After Duan Shuai arranged the affairs of the Martial Arts Alliance, he wanted to get up and go to the Tianshan Mountains. On this day, Shangguan Que wanted to find Duan Shuai and tell him about Chang Yun clearly, and when he walked halfway, he was stopped by a woman, who was Lu Jin.
Shangguan Que was a little surprised, and was about to ask her what was going on, but she paused and took the initiative to say, "I know what you're going to do, but I advise you not to go!" With Brother Duan's character, if he knew the truth of everything, what do you think he would do? Shangguan Que was stunned and said in confusion: "He will definitely avenge Brother Chang!" ”
Lu Jin said unhurriedly: "That's right, of course he will seek revenge from a traitor, so do you know what kind of situation Brother Chang is in now?" By that time, I'm afraid that Brother Chang will already be in a different place. Shangguan Que frowned and thought about it for a while, and felt that this was indeed the case. Duan Shuai's strong personality will definitely anger Xue Yu and others, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to clean up when the time comes!
Shangguan Que asked slowly: "Then in the girl's opinion, what should we do?" Lu Jin frowned and said to him: "Don't worry about it, anyway, I can guarantee to rescue Brother Chang!" Shangguan Que looked at her eyes, her eyes were so bright, so soft, and so firm.
He felt that what she said was not a lie, but he didn't dare to put Chang Yun's life and death in her hands so easily, and asked sharply: "What can you do?" Lu Jin sighed, lifted the green silk on his cheeks, and said word by word: "Don't worry! Even if I die, I won't let Brother Chang have another accident! ”
Shangguan Que was really shocked by these words, and asked what the situation in the world was, and directly taught people to live and die. I didn't expect this Lu girl to be so affectionate to Chang Yun, it was rare to be born, seeing that she was so resolute, Shangguan Que had no choice but to give up and walked back step by step. Lu Jin looked at his figure that was gradually moving away and breathed a sigh of relief.
She was most afraid that Shangguan Que would tell Duan Shuai the truth of the matter and cause some unnecessary trouble. At this time, she was going to do her thing, even though this matter was against her original intention, but at present, this was the only way to save Chang Yun, Lu Jin didn't take a few steps to meet Duan Shuai, and pretended to take the initiative to talk playfully: "Great Alliance Master, I heard that my sister has been with you in the Tianshan Mountains, should I call you brother-in-law?" ”
Duan Shuai, who was originally giggling, was frightened by her sudden question, touched his head and said embarrassedly: "This... It's not time yet! Lu Jin struck while the iron was hot and asked, "Then do you know where my sister is now?" After being separated for so long, my grandfather and I miss her to death! ”
Duan Shuai thought for a while, and felt that Lu Jin was Lu Yu's younger sister, close relatives of flesh and blood, and should be fine, so he told her: "Your sister lives in an immortal valley in the Tianshan Mountains!" Don't worry, she's fine! Lu Jin was a little curious, and hurriedly asked, "Immortal Valley?" What Fairy Valley? Where is it in the Tien Shan? ”
Duan Shuai said with a smile: "I will take you in the future, you will know, that valley we call it the Valley of Forgetting Worries, the four seasons are like spring, just like the fairyland on earth... As he spoke, Duan Shuai was in a reverie as if he was drunk, but Lu Jin remembered every word he said, and then she pretended to be coquettish and said, "No! You are a big alliance leader, there are endless things to deal with all day long, tell me how to go to the Valley of Forgotten Sorrows, and I will see my sister soon. As he spoke, he pulled Duan Shuai's sleeve and sprinkled coquettishly.
Duan Shuai couldn't bear her trouble, so he had to tell her how to find the Valley of Forgotten Worries one by one, and instructed her: "Don't take others there, it's a paradise, it's not good to be contaminated with worldly atmosphere!" Lu Jin nodded again and again, and without waiting for Duan Shuai to finish speaking, he ran away vigorously, leaving Duan Shuai in the same place and the second monk was confused, but he didn't care too much.
Xue Lihan was seriously injured by Duan Shuai and Bai Luoting, and when he was dying, Xue Yu and Lu Qingsong flew over and rescued him. Not long after, when he came to a ruined temple, Xue Lihan suffered internal injuries on his body, vomiting blood all over the ground, coupled with the blood stains of sword marks everywhere on his body, he almost went into shock to death.
Xue Yu stopped the bleeding for Xue Lihan one by one with tears in his eyes, but he couldn't stop this side and that, and it didn't take long for Xue Lihan to turn white and faint. As a last resort, Xue Yu injected a large stream of cold ice true qi into Xue Lihan's body, although it could not save his life, it could also protect him from worrying about his life for a while, but the cold ice true qi was the true qi of the yin to the cold, and the slightest carelessness would hurt the internal organs, and the Daluo Immortal was also difficult to treat.
At this time, Lu Qingsong said: "Young master! I have a way to save the city lord, but... "What? Say it? Xue Yu grabbed Lu Qingsong's shirt and asked. Lu Qingsong sighed and said, "Now I think the city lord's internal injuries can only be healed by the world-famous thousand-year-old snow mountain ginseng. It's just that there are not a few snow ginseng trees left in this thousand-year-old snow-capped mountain, and I don't know where to look for them. ”
Qin Xiaotian, who was lying on the side, interjected: "I... I know where it is! Both of them looked at him, he clutched his chest and continued: "My senior brother Ye Nongsang was an official in Beiyan, and later took refuge in the current Zhou State, in order to show his loyalty, he brought a thousand-year-old snow mountain ginseng in the Beiyan Palace to Yang Zhong, the great general of the Zhou State!" ”
"In that case, without further ado, let's hurry up!" Lu Qingsong hurriedly said. Xue Yu nodded, and began to plan how to obtain the thousand-year-old snow ginseng from Yang Zhong, but he didn't expect Lu Jin to come over that night, Xue Yu looked at it, knowing that his plan had begun to be implemented, and asked with a smile: "Oh? You've got it so quickly? It seems that my senior brother is still too young! Being young is not a good thing, and being young is not a good thing for men! ”
Lu Jin didn't listen to his nonsense, and said coldly: "Hurry up and hand over Brother Chang to me, I will naturally tell you everything you want to know, but if I knew that you hurt my sister's hair, I would definitely not let you go!" Xue Yu shook his head and said, "That's natural, Xiao Yu has always been mine." My cousin, don't worry! ”
Xue Yu said and ordered Qin Xiaotian to bring out Chang Yun, it was inconvenient for Lu Qingsong to come forward on this occasion, Lu Jin's eyes were red, he hurriedly rushed over, picked up Chang Yun, and stretched out his left hand by the way, asking for an antidote and giving Chang Yun a drink.
Xue Yu said at this time: "I have done everything I promised you, what did you promise me?" Lu Jin thought about it, leaned over, and told Xue Yu all the way to the Valley of Forgotten Worries, Xue Yu was startled at first, and then laughed: "I never thought of it!" My senior brother is really good at hiding in the golden house! Okay, you can take you, the half-paralyzed lover, away! I will do what I say, and I will not embarrass you! ”
Lu Jin glared at him, and limped out of here with Chang Yun half-helped. Xue Yu actually had a plan, but now that he had more important things, he had to put this time aside for the time being. After the few of them left Mengshan, they came to Chang'an without stopping, and lived in Ye Nongsang's mansion smoothly.
At this time, Ye Nongsang was also a member of the Zhou State and was deeply loved by Yang Su, but he was brutal by nature and always loved to kill, so there has been no major promotion. After Qin Xiaotian talked to him about the old days, he told him why he came here, and asked, "I don't know how Senior Brother can get this thousand-year-old snow mountain ginseng?" ”
Ye Nongsang touched his head and said: "How can there be any reason to take back this gift, but General Yang Su is attacking Fenzhou in Qi State, and it has been more than a month, and he can't attack it for a long time, if you can help General Yang take Fenzhou, then I will ask for you again, then maybe it won't be a problem!" ”
After listening to this, Qin Xiaotian said with a smile: "We have only a few martial artists, how can we be so capable!" I also hope that the senior brother will say a few kind words in front of General Yang and plead for us! Ye Nongsang sighed and said: "Senior brother's desert spear is famous all over the world, don't be humble, but the strength of Yuecheng is second to none in the desert, although I am lonely and unheard, I still know it." Originally, with my military exploits, there was no problem, but some time ago, hey, didn't I kill another batch of people! Hey, don't mention it! General Yang has to blame me for a few prisoners, no, didn't he take me with him this time! I'm afraid I can't speak now! ”
Qin Xiaotian also sighed and asked indifferently, "How is the battle situation in Fenzhou now?" Ye Nongsang said with interest: "Since Fenzhou Taishou Gao Zhan was crowned as the Great Sima, the troops stationed in Fenzhou today are better than before, the city is high and the walls are thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the general Gao Zhan is even more proficient in the art of war, which is difficult to deal with!" It's really sad! ”
Xue Yu, who was sitting on the side, was silent for a long time, thinking of the power and relationship of Qiyue City in Northern Qi, at this time he had a plan in his heart, and said with a smile: "Thank you General Ye for your advice, we have our own way to help General Yang take Fenzhou, but my father is seriously injured, and I hope General Ye will take care of it these days!" ”
Ye Nongsang heard him say that there was a way to take Fenzhou, so he responded in one bite. Qin Xiaotian stayed in Yefu to take care of Xue Lihan, and Lu Qingsong followed Xue Yu to the Fenzhou battlefield. When I first arrived in Fenzhou, I saw corpses everywhere, some from Zhou and some from Qi, with countless dead and wounded, and no one collected the corpses.
Xue Yu touched the camp of Zhou State all the way and shouted at the camp: "General Ye Nongsang sent someone to ask for a meeting!" The news soon spread to the military tent, and Yang Su, who was very busy, heard the news of Ye Nongsang and thought that he might have a good way to come to this war, so he invited the two of them to come.
Soon after entering the big tent, Xue Yu said frankly: "I know that the general has worked hard for the affairs of Fenzhou, so I came here to offer a plan to help the general take Fenzhou in one fell swoop!" "What did you say?" Yang Su immediately stood up, glared at him with two eyes and said, "Really? What's the trick, little brother, say it quickly! ”
Xue Yu continued: "This plan will definitely succeed, I only have one request, that is, when the time comes, please ask the general to intercede with Yang Sima and give me the thousand-year-old snow mountain ginseng to save my father's life!" "Good, good, good! As long as you can win Fenzhou, what is the thousand-year-old snow ginseng, the old man will never break his promise! ”
Xue Yu saw that Yang Su was extraordinary, and he must be a man of his word, so he stepped forward and whispered something into his ear, and it didn't take long for Yang Su to laugh out loud, and said while laughing: "Little brother is really good at calculation!" If you can do it, you should be the first to do it! ”
Xue Yu also smiled and did not speak again. Gao Zhan is the great Sima of Qi and the general who guards Fenzhou, this person has been fighting outside all his life, and the change of dynasty and emperor has not affected him to guard Fenzhou. Such a character is really difficult to deal with, you can't attack by force, you can only outwit.
The current emperor of Qi Gao Wei is a complete faint monarch, eating, drinking and having fun all day long, taking a concubine to hunt around, the last time Jinyang City was besieged, reported to him, but he only cared about hunting with his beloved concubine Feng Yuling, and he didn't care about this matter, and everyone sighed: "Which matter that the mountains and rivers have been made of soil, please hunt the king!" ”
This time, Xue Yu took this opportunity to arrange for people to bribe the eunuchs in the palace, and gave a large amount of gold and silver jewelry to Gao Wei's concubine Feng Yuling, so that she could blow the pillow wind in Gao Wei's ears, saying that Gao Zhan intended to rebel and take refuge in Zhou Guo.
On the other hand, it is to bribe officials who are at odds with Gao Zhan in the DPRK and China, and report the fact that Gao Zhan has committed crimes! In this way, it is difficult to refute Gao Zhan's mouth, not to mention, this confused emperor is so confused! The plan went smoothly, and it didn't take long for Gao Wei to recall Gao Zhan for confronting.
How do you know that Gao Zhan said that because of the border war, he really couldn't get out. This move made Gao Wei determined, arrested Gao Zhan's entire family, and beheaded all of them at the entrance of the vegetable market, regardless of the opposition of the ministers! Only one servant of Gao Zhan's family escaped, came to the military tent, and cried: "Master! Oh no! The emperor said that you rebelled and beheaded the whole family of the master! ”
Gao Zhan heard this, gritted his steel teeth, and suddenly fainted, and sat down with a sad face after waking up, unable to come back to his senses for a long time, his beloved wife who had just become pregnant, his father and mother who were over half a hundred years old, and his brothers and sisters all died overnight, and the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, and suddenly a mouthful of blood gushed into his heart and spit it out.
The soldiers hurriedly stepped forward to support Gao Zhan, and at this time Gao Zhan had already fainted again. When he woke up again, he cried a lot, and the boy didn't flick his tears because he didn't reach the sad place. At this time, his deputy general Gao Ming said indignantly: "The general sacrificed his life to kill the enemy outside, but this dog emperor killed the general's entire family!" Is it tolerable or unbearable! It's better to do the opposite! ”
When the others heard this, they all responded one by one and said, "It's the opposite!" It's the other way around! At this time, Gao Zhan's eyes were bloodshot, watching everyone respond one by one, the anger in his heart was once again ignited, thinking of the various bad deeds that the emperor usually does, and then thinking of the tragic things he has done to him now, he took the case and shouted: "The emperor is unkind, don't blame me Gao Zhan for being unjust!" ”
Suddenly, the soldiers outside the tent who were unwilling to rebel were in chaos, Gao Zhan realized that he was overwhelmed by hatred, such a big thing could not be put on the table, but since this was the case, he walked outside the big tent to point the generals, and said loudly: "The emperor is not benevolent, kill my whole family, I want to go back to Yecheng to ask for an explanation, and if you are willing to follow me, I will not be embarrassed, but don't take refuge in the Zhou army!" ”
Without a stick of incense, Gao Zhan led the soldiers who were willing to follow, rode their horses towards Yecheng, this go, brought 60,000 elite soldiers, there were some old and weak soldiers left in Fenzhou City, and a small number of troops who were unwilling to rebel, and a noon effort, Yang Su broke the Fenzhou City that could not be captured for a long time.
After ascending the tower, Yang Su not only sighed: "Gao Wei, the emperor, has done it, this is destroying the Great Wall!" Xue Yu got the thousand-year-old snow ginseng as he wished, which was about the same size as the one he took back then, and it was also a rare treasure, but compared with Fenzhou, what was the use of this mountain ginseng to Yang Zhong, so he happily gave it to him.
At the same time, Yang Zhong also wanted to keep Xue Yu to serve in his younger brother Yang Sujun's account, but was politely declined. After half a month, Xue Lihan was finally able to get out of bed and walk around, but at this time he had lost all his martial arts and became a waste.
Xue Yu is very optimistic, it is excellent that his father can be alive, he has always disagreed with Xue Lihan's approach, Xue Lihan believes that his martial arts are strong, so he wants to break into Mengshan, and finally ends up like this, but Xue Yu is completely different, he attaches great importance to the art of attacking the heart, although the martial arts are very high, but he does not advocate fighting and killing as soon as he comes up.
Take this plan to break Fenzhou as an example, it is almost effortless, and it is also a good thing that his father's martial arts are abolished this time, which also indicates that the time has come for him to show his strength, and he no longer has to hide, and he does not dare to show his true face. He is no longer called Xue Yu, but Xue Lengfeng! This is his real name, and he will use it until the end of his life!
It didn't take long to see that Xue Lihan was okay for the time being, Xue Yu arranged for someone to escort Xue Lihan back to Qiyue City, and he had more important things to do. He took Lu Qingsong and Qin Xiaotian to the foot of the Tianshan Mountain, and after searching for several days, he finally found the entrance to the Valley of Forgotten Worries.
If it weren't for Lu Jin's story, even if he looked for it for a lifetime, I'm afraid Xue Lengfeng wouldn't be able to find this place. They walked towards the valley, and after passing through a long cave, they saw that suddenly there was a burst of fragrance, and they looked at the surrounding environment, the birds and flowers, and the green trees, and the three of them were so intoxicated that they did not dare to move a single step, for fear of destroying the atmosphere.
But after a while, a child shouted, "Who are you?" What are you doing in the Valley of Forgotten Worries? Xue Lengfeng turned his head and saw a five or six-year-old child standing not far away, holding a willow branch and looking at them. Xue Lengfeng smiled and walked over and asked, "Who else is there besides you?" ”
The child looked at him suspiciously and said, "What are you doing?" Say it! Xiao Nian'er has experienced the pain of losing her parents at such a young age, and has also experienced the damage of war, so she is naturally much more precocious than ordinary children, and she is a lot more wary of strangers.
Qin Xiaotian on the side was impatient and yelled, "Little rabbit cub, say it quickly!" Who else is there in the valley? This roar made Xiao Nian'er cry, Xue Lengfeng glared at Qin Xiaotian fiercely, Qin Xiaotian knew that he had lost an inch, so he stopped talking. Xue Lengfeng still wanted to go up to comfort him, but at this time, an old man came running from not far away, picked up Zhao Nian, and said to Xue Lengfeng: "Who are you?" Why are you so fierce to a child? ”
Xue Lengfeng looked the old man up and down, knowing that he was just an ordinary old man and didn't know martial arts, so he explained: "Hello old man, we are relatives of Miss Lu Yu and Miss Lu, and this time we came to pick up Miss Lu at the request of Brother Duan Shuai Duan!" ”
Father Zhao saw that these three people were all dignified except for Qin Xiaotian, and since they could find this place and say the name of Lu Yu Duan Shuai, it must be true, so he said, "Oh? Since you are a friend of Miss Lu, please come with me! So Father Zhao took the three of them together and walked towards Lu Yu's residence, along the way, Xue Lengfeng saw the flowers here, and he had mixed feelings in his heart, who wouldn't want to live such a life?
After a while, they came to Lu Yu's residence, Father Zhao shouted a few times, and when he saw that no one answered, he pushed the door in, and when he saw that there was no one around, he said to them: "Miss Lu went out of the valley to collect medicine today, and it is estimated that she will come back in the evening, so you can wait here, you can also go to the valley!" ”
They sat down in Lu Yu's residence, and looked at the surrounding environment, it was all so simple and elegant, this is indeed Lu Yu's style, she does not advocate luxury, and a simple and comfortable home is excellent. Xue Lengfeng suddenly remembered, could it be that Duan Shuai handed over Xun Long Jue to Lu Yu? Thinking of this, a thought seemed to have arisen in his heart, at this time, Qin Xiaotian was already unconsciously rummaging around, and Xue Lengfeng didn't stop it, he also wanted to know if he could find out something. However, the truth was nothing, so I had to wander around in this valley of forgetfulness and wait for Lu Yu to come back.
