Chapter 16 The undercurrent is surging in all directions

The war in Yangzhou has been rumored, the world knows it, and everyone is talking about it in the streets and alleys.

At the Weiyang Inn, a few people came out in a hurry.

"The guest officer walks slowly." The shopkeeper is still so eye-catching, congratulating these guests.

"Brother Ji, I can save Yangzhou single-handedly?" Beifeng really didn't know why Li Ji was so confident, and he was uneasy along the way, and finally couldn't help but ask for an understanding.

"Hahaha, Brother Yan, you can rest assured, I have my own strategy to break the enemy." Li Ji smiled confidently.

"Hmm......" Beifeng didn't bother to ask again, let's see what he did.

The two took their horses and went out of the city.

"Yo, a few heroes, you are also going to Yangzhou." Xiao Er saw that a few more people came out, so he hurriedly talked.

"Hey, what do you mean by hearing this, there are still people who have gone to Yangzhou?" Qin Cheng was very keen and asked.

"That's not it, in the past few days, I don't know how many people have gone to Yangzhou, the villain is also strange, the good guy has to go there to join in the fun, that's the place where people are going to die, no, the front foot just sent away the two sons, and the back foot you have to go again." Xiao Er pointed in the direction of the north wind out of the city, looking puzzled, thinking that these people were really full.

"You ......" Lian Shen on the side was unhappy when he heard this, and was about to have a seizure, but was stopped by Shang Zheng, held back, and looked cold, so frightened that Xiao Er hurriedly ran into the store.

"What are you doing...... Qin Cheng blamed, thinking that he didn't have anything to ask.

"Okay, it seems, we're slow." Shang Zheng frowned, knowing that this trip would not be easy.

Qin Cheng didn't dare to talk more when he saw the right envoy speak, glared, turned around and led the horse.

"Lian Shen, you go and call Chang Gongzi and the valley master, we should go." Shang Zheng said.

Wei Wen happened to come out and said, "They will come in a moment, we will wait first, and the city will meet." ”

"It's fine." Shang Zheng nodded, thinking it was appropriate.

A few people turned over and got on their horses and slowly left. In a corner not far away, a pair of eyes disappeared.

Peach Blossom Pavilion on the outskirts of the eastern part of the city.

"It seems that Mowen Valley is also going to intervene." A white-robed scholar with two strands of hair fluttering in the wind, with a delicate face and sharp edges.

"I saw the two envoys on the left and right and the two heroes of the north and south going out of the city, and the four of them went out at the same time...... "The person who spoke had a rough voice, was tall, dressed in a chivalrous outfit, and looked upright, but there were tattoos on his face, presumably he was also a person who filled the army and fell into the rivers and lakes.

"In my opinion, the valley lord of Mowen Valley must have arrived." The man who had been turning his back to the two of them spoke, and with the wind of the Peach Blossom Pavilion, he turned around, his white hair was dyed like snow, and his eyes were always autumn water. This person's two pupils are of different colors, one is light blue, the other is light yellow, at first glance it looks like a person outside the plug fairy wind bones, look closely, it is also heroic and magnificent, extraordinary.

"Oh? What is the senior brother's opinion? The white-robed scholar asked with interest.

"Luo Feng besieged Yangzhou and did not attack, presumably there is still a hidden secret, Chang Long Chen Bing Han Guguan, looking at Luoyang, Luo Feng happened to transfer the pro-army Shence Army to Dongting, the drunkard did not mean to drink, the two of them each had a ghost." Mei Luochu smiled evilly, as if she had some plan.

"Senior Brother Mei is the same as I think, I think Yangzhou is the safest place right now." The white-robed scholar Lan Qiuxuan said.

"I think, some people can't hold it anymore, such as Luoyang City, Mowen Valley, and outside the Yumen Pass, on the shore of the Bohai Sea......" Mei Luochu stretched out her hand to catch a piece of scattered petals, and sighed. couldn't help but pull his cloak tightly, as if he was a little afraid of the cold, and frowned.

"Someone lit a fire, and naturally it was lively. Let's check it out, too. Jiang Pingbo laughed.

"Hmm...... It's okay, Master passed the word yesterday, and I can't wait until I have to. Mei Luochu said quietly.

"Understood, senior brother." The two answered together.

Mei Luochu turned around and walked out of the pavilion, and suddenly stopped.

A gust of wind, a few fallen flowers.

Lan Qiuxuan knew that there was a good show to watch, so he happily pulled Jiang Boping, who was about to go out, and signaled not to speak.

"Coming all the way, why hide and hide?" Mei Luochu said loudly to a peach forest.

There was silence, only the sound of the wind.

Suddenly, a few figures appeared, and in the blink of an eye, they were in front of them.

Lan Qiuxuan in the pavilion said secretly in his heart: What a powerful light skill...... Why is it so cold all of a sudden...... Don't......

Jiang Boping naturally felt the cold air driven by this deep internal force, and subconsciously touched the blade in his waist.

"The three dragons see the head but not the tail, today Meng Mou is fortunate to see you, if you are disturbed, I will look at Haihan." The person at the head is Meng Qing, the master of the Fengxue Gate, who is still so civil.

"It turned out that the owner of the door arrived, and he was disappointed." Mei Luochu looked at it and said.

"I wonder if I can talk about it in the pavilion?" Meng Qing walked towards the pavilion by himself, although he had already felt the murderous aura emanating from the pavilion.

"Please."

The wind is gusting, the peach forest is flying, and the red eyes are charming, and it seems that the heavy rain is coming.

Several people in the pavilion are facing each other.

"I guess it wasn't a chance encounter." Mei Luochu knows that what three lives are fortunate to be nonsense, that is, to be polite.

"Meng said bluntly, please don't meddle in Yangzhou affairs, can you?"

"What the door master wants to say should be that the Sanqing Hall should not block the way of the Wind and Snow Gate." Mei Luochu showed no mercy and broke Meng Qing's purpose in one sentence.

A few people were a little embarrassed and paused slightly. Meng Qing smiled and said nothing.

"Well, it just so happens that the master ordered me not to interfere." Mei Luochu said and looked at the two junior brothers.

"Yes, yes, Master has a life, and he can't interfere." Jiang Boping was acting stiffly, and Lan Qiuxuan, who was watching on the side, just wanted to laugh.

"In that case, it couldn't be better." Meng Qing secretly said in his heart, Master can't interfere if he has a life...... Hmph, Master can still have the life to let you intervene.

"It seems that a few of them have also gone to Yangzhou."

"As early as outside the Saiwai, I heard that Yangzhou is a prosperous place in the world, and the dark incense building is famous." Meng Qing said with a smile.

"The door master chose a good time, I guess I don't know that the dark incense building is empty." Mei Luochu said coldly.

…… When Meng Qing heard this, he was suddenly stunned, and his heart was shocked, what, something happened to Dark Xianglou......

"What's going on in the Dark Fragrance Building?" Meng Qing asked urgently.

"Isn't this time the soldiers coming to Yangzhou just for Bai Yanran, the beauty of the dark fragrance building......

With the petals flying in the sky, the wind calmed down, and his eyes were cloudy...... A familiar name, playing with the softest place in his heart, instantly ignited the acacia and spread into the air.

Long.

"Ah...... It's really a long time to live outside the country...... I don't know if the world has changed...... Yanran, you and I...... It's been a long time......" Meng Qing got up, very sad, and sighed at the sky.

At this time, even Mei Luochu was shocked, and almost turned over, what, his name is actually Yanran, could it be that they have known each other for a long time? How can this be...... What is their relationship...... A series of questions arose in the hearts of several people, including Meng Qing's entourage, Mu Chun and Zhiqiu.

"Dare to ask......" Lan Qiuxuan was really curious, he couldn't help it, and wanted to ask thoroughly.

Mei Luochu's eyes squinted, signaling Lan Qiu to shut up, which pot is not opened.

Lan Qiuxuan smiled awkwardly, but had no intention of stopping.

……

Meng Qing didn't seem to hear Lan Qiuxuan speak, still looking at the distance in a daze......

"Door master......" Mu Chunyu's hand gently touched Meng Qing's sleeve...... Softly called.

Meng Qing woke up, unconsciously tears were about to fall from the corners of his eyes, and was about to reach out to wipe them away, when a piece of Sujuan appeared in front of him, as well as a pair of hands.

Zhiqiu Bao bun is pulled, light makeup, white gauze long skirt fluttering, and eyes with autumn water......

Meng Qing was stunned for a moment, hurriedly avoided her eyes, and ignored it.

Zhiqiu's face twitched for a moment, and he slowly put away his handkerchief and stood aside......

Meng Qing looked outside the pavilion and slowly spoke: "Qing and Yanran, childhood sweethearts, met in Chang'an, traveled to the market, enjoyed the green mountains, two small no guess......es, and then foreign countries came to invade, from Chang'an to the west, the people were one of the hundred relics, and the Qing Dynasty was a scholar, often with the ambition of serving the country, and could not bear the misery of the people, so they scattered their wealth and rose up to protect my neighbors, protect my homeland, and protect my people." Qing led the army and the thief army to fight more than 100 battles without winning or losing, not an inch of land was lost, but the strength was weak, and the enemy was finally defeated, trapped in Jingzhou, I thought that the king was coming, I don't know why, the general Chang Long who came to watch the fire from the other side refused to send troops, Qing sent several envoys to ask for help without success, the mind has been decided, the city will be broken, and the city jade is broken, who knows that the thief soldiers suddenly retreated...... Qing Shi was puzzled, later, I heard that the thieves were just feints to attack Jingzhou, but in fact they raided Chang'an, Qing got the news and immediately went non-stop, leading the troops to rescue, but ......" Speaking of this, Meng Qing's eyes became sharp, and Mei Luochu could see that he hated.

"Later...... I was defeated. Meng Qing sighed secretly.

"Defeated?" Lan Qiuxuan was fascinated by what he heard, and was a little surprised when he heard it.

"I arrived with the remnants and found that Changlong's soldiers and horses had recovered Chang'an............" Meng Qing sighed and closed his eyes.

"What's going on?" Jiang Boping was anxious, thinking that scholars just love to grind and talk a lot.

"I never thought that the dignified auxiliary general would be so ruthless." Mei Luochu suddenly seemed to have re-understood Chang Long, which was too different from the information she had collected before.

Lan Qiuxuan fell into deep thought.

Qing led the army away and escaped into the bitter cold land, so as to avoid being pursued by Chang Long, and Qing swore that he would recapture what belonged to Qing. In the past few years, I set up a snow gate, and Chang'an Mansion all the time in the open and secret fighting, Qing knows that the time for revenge has not come, but how can he live a stable life, until fifteen years ago, Chang Long watched the Central Plains, taking advantage of Luo Jingliang's order to go north again when the blood wanted to seize Luoyang, Chen Bing Yique, Qing took this opportunity to lead tens of thousands of disciples all the way to Chang'an........."

"How?" Jiang Boping is like a child, he is fascinated by listening, and he doesn't care about the joys and sorrows of the storyteller, and the viewer has his own heart. Lan Qiuxuan shook his head, figured out something, sighed, he probably knew the end of this story.

"Okay......" Mei Luochu blocked Jiang Boping, who was about to open his mouth to ask, and glanced at him.

Meng Qing stopped talking, he was already stuck in the past...... It seems to go back to the city of Chang'an fifteen years ago......

……

Fifteen years ago, under the city of Chang'an

Tens of thousands of disciples of Fengxuemen besieged the city, and it could be broken overnight.

Meng Qingjian pointed at the head of the city.

"Chang Long, quickly open the city and surrender, otherwise the city will be broken, and Qing will take your life."

Chang Long stood at the head of the city, stroked his beard and smiled, beckoning, and the soldiers behind him escorted a woman dressed in white.

Meng Qing's wrist flicked, and he was in a trance, almost falling off the horse's back.

"Yanran......" he yelled hysterically.

"Little thief, the official doesn't have the time to play with you, if you don't retreat, the official will kill her." Chang Long said, pulled out his sword and pointed at Bai Yanran.

"Don't touch her! Don't touch it. Meng Qing's tone softened, and he woke up from his anger.

"Don't go back quickly." Chang Long smiled wantonly, thinking, just up to you, I also want to fight with the old man. "Come, open the city gate, I see if he dares to come in."

The door of Chang'an City slowly opened......

The disciples of the Wind and Snow Gate cheered, thinking that they had won, and they were eager to try one by one.

In the midst of the boil, Meng Qing's heart sank, and after a moment, with a bang, the sword in his hand fell to the ground, and the people behind him saw this and gradually calmed down......

The wind and sand are not big, but some people are blinded......

"Brother Qing, thinking of this life, not in vain, now the officials and bandits are in turmoil, the concubine is worried about the king's life, I can not go to Huawai with you, and now I am trapped in the enemy's future is uncertain, please go, don't be trapped by the enemy, the four seas are chic and life, if you are sad at night, when the wind and rain, drunk for a moment, you can think of the concubine for a moment, the concubine is also very lucky, the yellow spring is blue, you can also walk alone not thin, know what you think, don't know what you say, in the next life, when you first meet you, please call Yanran again, hope that you will complete the long-cherished wish of the concubine, farewell." Meng Qing trembled, and finished reading a few lines of blood on the handkerchief floating down from the city...... I couldn't hold back the tears anymore.

"Ah......h Meng Qing raised his head in surprise, his eyes widening with anger.

The sharp blade stabbed into Bai Yanran's shoulder...... Bloodstained White......

"Retreat!" Chang Long roared and drew his sword back.

"Retreat, retreat, retreat......" Meng Qing trembled all over his body and said subconsciously.

"No return! The doorkeeper... Brother! Meng Heng, the deputy sect master, gritted his teeth and begged, thinking in his heart that he had been oppressed and starved for so many years, in order to wait for the day of revenge with his own hands, now is a good time, how can he give up in vain.

"Brother, brother...... I'm sorry for you......" Meng Qing's hair was scattered and he lowered his head......

"Brother, look at it, behind you...... These people ......" Meng Heng choked.

"Retreat!" Meng Qing raised his head and shouted, furious. Stared at Meng Heng.

Meng Heng was startled, stunned, then smiled bitterly, smiled with tears, threw away the long sword in his hand, his eyes were full of pain, and slowly retreated...... He was disappointed, as if he was about to reach the top of the mountain and suddenly fell......

"Come back......!" Meng Qing shouted.

Meng Heng didn't seem to hear it, he ran wildly, and he didn't know where to go or what to do, so he kept running and ran out of here...... But his mind is full of so many years of miserable life and the blood feud of the rebels killing their relatives......

……

Meng Qing didn't chase after him, he thought his younger brother would understand.

Everyone in Fengxuemen was heartbroken, but they had no choice but to retreat......

The moment Meng Qing turned around, Chang Long's laughter resounded through the heavens and the earth, piercing Meng Qing's heart, and he put the handkerchief in his arms...... Walking with tears in my eyes, I didn't dare to look back.

……………………………

"Door Master, are you alright......" Mu Chun called softly.

Meng Qing woke up again and smiled apologetically.

The crowd was silent.

"I thought she was supposed to be the safest person, but I didn't think... Alas... After that, we never saw each other again...... Today...... Life or death, Qing, just want to find her. Meng Qing said firmly.

Mei Luochu nodded, and said that the past cannot be traced.

"Today, Qing really bothered a few people, and I still hope that Haihan, I wait for the side sect, the three famous and decent families, we can do our own thing, there are no grievances, and Qing does not want to be enemies with a few people." Meng Qing clasped his fists and saluted.

"There is no good or evil in the world, and there is no enemy in the world. According to Jun, it is. Mei Luochu also returned the salute with a fist and said generously.

"Then, the pure heart is worried about the deceased, take the first step, farewell, everyone."

"Farewell."

In an instant, Meng Qing and his party disappeared into the rain of falling flowers......

"Let's go, too." Mei Luochu frowned and said.
