Chapter 9: Secrets

After all, the old man of the Song family and the old man of the Zheng family are elderly people, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they have walked more bridges than Zheng Qing and his young people have walked, so it is naturally impossible to mess up because of a few bold words, the two glanced at each other, obviously exchanging opinions.

The old man of the Zheng family nodded, what really touched him was not these slogans and blood, but the fact that Li Cheng said, this village has only been sporadically harassed by thieves for decades, and it is already a rare paradise in the troubled times, if you retreat from the village in a panic at this time, where can you hide? Even if they can find a place to take refuge and come back, not to mention what the bandits will do to the village, who can guarantee that they won't come back next time? Could it be that at that time, you will have to drag your family away?

Some things, instead of constantly dodging, it is better to end them all at once, life and death are fateful, wealth is in the sky, people in these troubled times, who does not have a little desperate energy?

"Brother, have you decided?" The old man of the Song family's voice was solemn, and his title changed suddenly, as if at the moment when he realized what Li Cheng was going to do, the relationship between him and Li Cheng was no longer like the patriarch of two families who depended on each other, but two good brothers.

And the old man of the Zheng family didn't speak, his eyes were blazing and he looked at Li Cheng, obviously he wanted to say the same question.

Li Cheng's gaze swept over the two of them, and he said in a deep voice: "If this secret is not told to the next generation, do you want us old bones to be taken to the ground?" What's more, this time the bandits are coming, we have never encountered them before, even if we can get away with this catastrophe, we are an old bone, and we don't know how long we can last, so we simply let the young people know, and it can be regarded as completing our mission. ”

After a pause, Li Cheng's voice became a little low, and he muttered: "We have walked in this world once, and we can't be forgotten after all." ”

"Good!" The two old men nodded solemnly at the same time.

And Li Cheng turned his head to look at the four of them, who were a little dazed: "You grew up in this village, but no one has ever told you the origin of this village. Why is there such a village in the middle of this barren mountain and bamboo sea? ”

"This ······" Zheng Qing looked at Li Cheng in surprise, "Hasn't this village always existed?" ”

In his memory, he grew up in the village since he was a child, and naturally he never imagined where the village came from or why there was such a village. If this question hadn't come from Li Cheng's mouth, I'm afraid Zheng Qing would have directly blocked it back with "ridiculous words".

But this question is now coming out of Li Cheng's mouth, even if Zheng Qing has a hundred guts, he can only make promises.

Li Cheng said in a deep voice: "The place where this village is located, in addition to being close to the river, is very far away from the rest of the villages, if it is not to escape this troubled world, who wants to live in such an isolated place?" Our village is actually only 50 years old. ”

Fifty years? Zheng Qing, Song Fei and the others have not yet returned to their senses, what does the fifty years mean, and Li Xinchen has already calculated quickly in his heart, it is now 578 AD, and fifty years ago was 528 AD, this year is not a big deal in Li Xinchen's impression, but then his pupils tightened suddenly.

528 A.D. is indeed a rare calm, but the next year, that is, 529 A.D., is the famous Chen Qingzhi's Northern Expedition, the famous general of the Southern Liang led a light cavalry to sweep Heluo, invincible, and even spread the ballad of "the famous teacher and the general Mo Zijiao, thousands of troops and horses avoid the white robe".

And Li Cheng said that it has not been more than 50 years, which is very consistent with 529 AD.

Li Xinchen exhaled softly, he didn't know why he suddenly felt an inexplicable joy and nervousness, not just because he had finally encountered a piece of history that he was familiar with, but he immediately let himself calm down. With Chen Qingzhi's Northern Expedition, the entire Heluo and Lianghuai are really jumping for a while, so it is possible that a group of people will take refuge here, and it may not have anything to do with the world-famous white-robed general, not to mention that Li Xinchen also remembers clearly that the white-robed army had to retreat because it was outnumbered, and there was a flash flood on the road, and only Chen Qing was able to return, so it was even more impossible for this village to ······

He shook his head as hard as he could, believing in the inexplicable premonition, wouldn't it be too ridiculous, but he was an out-and-out science student.

Li Cheng and the other two old men had slowly walked to the side of the wall, the three of them glanced at each other, and at the same time reached out and pressed a brick on the wall, this seemingly plain brick suddenly slowly concave, and the originally narrow wall slowly separated, no one thought that there was a secret room. Li Cheng turned his head and said in a deep voice: "It's not the first time that you have come to the ancestral hall, and you must know that in addition to the tablets of the three families, the ** of the ancestral hall is dedicated to the tablet of the three families, and there is an unnamed tablet in the middle, and I can tell you now······"

While speaking, Li Xinchen and the others had already walked into the secret room, and the open wall slowly closed.

“······ That tablet is dedicated to Chen Qingzhi, the general of the former Liang Left Guard and the regular attendant of the scattered cavalry. Li Cheng's voice echoed in the secret room, a little dull, shaking the walls and humming.

At this time, the brains of Li Xinchen and others were also buzzing. Zheng Qing and the others don't read much, but they have also heard of this perhaps the most famous general in decades, while Li Xinchen silently sighed that his premonition just now was extremely close to this truth.

For on the wall in front of them, there hung a spear, and a ray of sunlight poured in through the small hole above the wall, and landed right on the blade of the spear, and the cold light flickered. Li Cheng slowly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to rub the spear: "This is the spear used by the general that day, and we are the general's guards, following the general from Jiangnan to Luoyang!" ”

Li Cheng's voice fell to the ground, sonorous and powerful, and the old man of the Zheng family and the old man of the Song family also suddenly straightened their waists, squinted slightly, and looked at Zheng Qing and Song Fei with numbness in their spines. Li Xinchen couldn't help but take a light breath, and he could clearly feel the murderous aura emanating from the three old men.

A man who survives a hundred battles, a man who survives a hundred battles!

But if Li Xinchen is not mistaken, it seems that Chen Qingzhi's white-robed army was wiped out in the face of a flash flood at that time, how could it be that there are still these three old men here who claim to be soldiers of the white-robed army, and the spear they hold in their hands is called the gun used by Chen Qingzhi?

And what happened to the development of an entire village in 50 years by just three people?

Li Xinchen subconsciously looked at Li Cheng, and Zheng Qing and Seinfeld's eyes also turned over, obviously they had the same questions as Li Xinchen.
