Chapter 107: Flowers and Clouds Gradually Bloom
Xiao and Guo looked at each other suspiciously, they didn't know why Yang Yi was so happy, and they couldn't see any worries about this dangerous trip. But it's not that Yang Yi is deliberately letting himself relax, and there is no way to bother himself in self-absorption.
Let's say that the three of them ran wildly in the mountain road, the horses' hooves splashed heavy dust, and only the sound of the roaring horses and galloping in the valley was heard, and the frightened birds and beasts in the forest ran away.
After running wildly for more than an hour, Yang Yi took the lead and ran onto the wide official road, followed by Xiao and Guo.
"Haha! Joyfully! Yang Yi pulled the reins of the horse, looked back at Xiao and Guo, and laughed.
Of course, Yang Yi knew that it was not that the two of them were inferior to him, and they were obviously deliberately letting him.
Yang Yizheng wanted to spit, but suddenly saw that the faces of the two were condensed, and Xiao Liang said, "Son, be careful." β
As he spoke, Xiao Liang gently raised his horsewhip and came to Yang Yi, Guo Mu also leaned in, and the two of them sandwiched Yang Yi in the middle one after the other and looked cautiously ahead.
Yang Yi turned his head and saw that at the end of the official road in the distance, there were many people walking towards him, and the black pressure could not see the end of the crowd, looking like a huge army.
It wasn't until the crowd approached that Yang Yi and the others saw clearly that this was not an army, and there were tens of thousands of civilians who had fled.
The refugee team was very mixed, there were everyone, some young and strong people pulling ox carts below, the ox carts were full of old people and children, but more often the whole family was on foot, and some old people looked extremely tired but still gritted their teeth and persevered.
Although there were many people hurrying, the team was unusually quiet, only occasionally there were a few coughs and children's cries, and more people were silently hurrying.
"Childe, this should be a refugee from the north." Guo Mu whispered in Yang Yi's ear.
Yang Yi nodded, and suddenly saw two officials in front of him sandwiched in the crowd, so he asked loudly: "Two big brothers, dare to ask where you are?" β
The two errand officers stopped, looked up at Yang Yi and the three of them on the horse, and saw Yang Yi's jade crown, and at a glance, he knew which rich and noble son it was, so he replied: "I am from Qushan County, Yunzhou, and most of the people here are from Yunzhou. β
Yang Yi was taken aback: "Yunzhou has been conquered by the fierce Di? β
The messenger shook his head and said, "The fierce Di people in Yunzhou have turned back to the west to attack Shuozhou, but... As soon as Shuozhou City broke through Yunzhou, it would not be able to escape this catastrophe, so I advised Gongzi not to go further north. β
After the messenger finished speaking, he didn't want to say anything more to Yang Yi, so he bowed and continued to walk south with the flow of people.
Looking at these people who were almost numb and walking, Yang Yi sighed, the fierce people are now a torrent from the north, once they break through the northern defense line of Daguang, it will be a monstrous disaster, even if these Daguang people flee into the Central Plains, their fate is unknown.
Xiao Liang on the side said sadly: "Childe, we need to hurry up, we have been delayed in Cangyun Village for so many days, and I don't know what the situation is in Blossom Valley and Jiuxiao Villa, if we wait for the fierce Di army to go south, there is really no way." β
Yang Yihu was puzzled: "Now that the form is so bad, even if we stop the fierce Di martial arts people in the Valley of Flowers, how can we resist the hundreds of thousands of fierce Di troops?" β
Yang Yi had studied the geographical location of the Blossom Valley and Jiuxiao Villa before, although the two sects were temporarily outside the sphere of influence of the Fierce Di army, but once the Fierce Di people broke through Shuozhou City, the northern gateway of Daguang was wide open, and for the Fierce Di Army, which was dominated by cavalry, there would be no place in the northern states that was safe, including the Blossom Valley and Jiuxiao Villa.
Xiao Liang pondered for a long time before he said: "Before leaving, the owner of the village asked us to tell the son, if the situation deteriorates, tell everyone in the Blossom Valley to retreat south quickly, if... They were stubborn and didn't leave, so Childe left on his own. β
Yang Yi shook his head, what the monk said was actually very helpless, almost everyone knew that it was impossible for the Flower Valley to abandon his hometown and run away as the great sect of the Great Light Martial Arts.
This is also the reason why the monk Pukong tried his best to keep the Valley of Flowers.
Yang Yi shook his head and smiled: "If the fierce Di people attack Jiuxiao Mountain Villa, will you run?" β
Xiao and Guo were silent, but it was not difficult to see from their eyes that coexisting with the sect was their only choice.
The three of them didn't talk much, and hurriedly rode their horses to hurry, except for the time to rest the horses on weekdays, they basically traveled day and night. Three days later, Yang Yi and the others finally came to the Pingchuan Mountain Range, where the Valley of Flowers is located.
Valley of Flowersβ
The Pingchuan River, which has flowed for thousands of years in the Pingchuan Mountains, winds from west to east like a silver wristband. The river suddenly made a ninety-degree turn in the mountains, turning from east to south, thus forming a vast valley in the bend.
The air in the valley is refreshing, the sun is abundant, the water is perfect, and there are flowers blooming in the four seasons, like a fairyland on earth.
Four hundred years ago, a scholar surnamed Liu fell in love with the eldest lady of Yunzhou Thorn Mansion at that time, and was opposed by everyone because of the disparity in status, and the two who were in deep love escaped desperately. When the two fled to this valley in the Pingchuan Mountains, they saw that the valley was hidden and beautiful, so they settled here and named it the Valley of Flowers.
The two scholars have lived in the valley for more than ten years, and there is a dashing Taoist who passes through here, and the couple are hospitable, and the Taoist is a token of gratitude, and when they leave, they gave each of them a book of martial arts, and said that the two are talented and intelligent, as long as they practice diligently, they will definitely have some achievements.
However, when the two of them didn't have time to cultivate, the Valley of Flowers had already been discovered by the Yunzhou Thorn History. The Yunzhou Assassin Mansion sent an assassin with strong martial arts to bring the woman back, but the scholar tried his best but was still unable to return to the sky, and finally the woman was taken away, and the scholar was also seriously injured and died of grief and anger.
At that time, the scholar and his wife had a son, named "Liu Huayuan". In the grief of the death of his parents, Liu Huayuan, who was only ten years old, not only survived in this valley alone, but also relied on the two secret books left by the Taoist to his parents.
When he was twenty years old, Liu Huayuan came out of the Valley of Flowers, and broke into the Yunzhou Thorn Mansion single-handedly in order to find his mother, but learned that his mother had died of depression a few years ago. Liu Huayuan was furious and opened a killing ring in the Assassin's Mansion, which coincided with the birthday of the Assassin in Yunzhou on that day, and there were countless masters in the mansion. Liu Huayuan fought with all the masters for a night, and the sky was dark, Liu Huayuan only killed nearly 40 martial arts people with a light sword, including many famous martial arts masters at that time.
After this war, this orphaned boy who was only 20 years old became famous all over the world.
And the Yunzhou Assassin who escaped learned that this person was his own grandson, and he was quite guilty about his woman, so he used his power to suppress the matter, and Liu Huayuan was able to escape the pursuit of the court and martial arts people.
After Liu Huayuan returned to the Valley of Flowers, he opened a sect and founded the Sect of the Valley of Flowers. Therefore, in just a few decades after that, the Valley of Flowers became the Central Plains Martial Arts Star, which lasted for hundreds of years.
There are clouds in the rivers and lakes: the clouds gradually open in the flowers, and the moon is full when the willow leaves float.
