Chapter 5: Bad News

The first year of Yongle, the first day. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

It was noon, and it was supposed to be a sunny time, but the city of Nanjing was shrouded in darkness.

The clouds were undulating, and again they covered the entire sky. It was as if the scene of lightning and thunder three days ago had reappeared again.

A little drizzle was sprinkled into the city, and there were bursts of thunder in the air from time to time, as if there were countless loyal souls, and the unjust souls were crying and telling.

On the third day after the city was breached, the atmosphere of slaughter in the city was still the same.

In the past few days, I don't know how many important ministers of the former dynasty have been killed by the nine clans, and I don't know how many nobles of the former dynasty have become prostitutes.

It's just that since the royal family has changed, it is natural that there will be a river of blood.

……

On a high hill thirty miles outside the city, there was a dilapidated wooden house.

The wooden house has no windows or tiles, only a large patch of thatch, which covers the roof of the wooden house.

Judging by its appearance, it is believed that it can build a house in this desolate land, and it should only be a temporary residence for hunters when they hunt.

Inside the hut was a girl of about fourteen or fifteen years old, dressed plainly.

I saw that she was curling her legs, hugging her knees, staring at the raindrops outside the window with her dark black pupils.

At this moment, the wooden door was pushed open.

The person who came was the old man of the fairy wind bone.

He never seemed to fit in with the world.

Because even on such a rainy day, there is still not a single raindrop on his body. It's still like that, with a fairy aura.

The immortal also carried a young man who had already fainted in his hand.

When she just saw that the person who came was Lu Immortal, the girl in the deep corner immediately stood up, looked at the young man in the hand of the immortal suspiciously, and asked in a low voice, "Immortal, who is this?" ”

"Poor children like you." The old immortal lowered his head and looked at the young man in his hand.

"Alright, the rain has stopped outside the window, let's go."

Outside the house, a carriage came at some point, and a horseman was preparing to leave.

The fairy first lifted the little girl into the carriage, and then also carried the boy into the carriage and sat down.

And the young man was just put aside by him, very casually.

The immortal looked at the little girl with a smile and said lovingly, "We are now leaving the Imperial City and going to the Land of Yungui. You and him have a miserable life, and only by going to the outer land can you spend the rest of your life in peace. ”

"Everyone listens to the immortals, thank the immortals for saving their lives." The little girl whispered.

"Well, you have a good rest first, it will take a lot of time to go to Yungui." After that, the old immortal stopped talking and closed his eyes to recuperate.

…….

A day later, in the early morning, the carriage had reached the outskirts of Jiujiang City, three hundred miles away.

At this time, the young man was awakened by the bumps of the carriage.

I have a splitting headache in my brain, and I have no strength in my body.

He reluctantly opened his eyes, but when he saw that he was not in the Fang Mansion, but in a moving carriage, he sat up suddenly.

His brows furrowed, and he looked around.

He saw an old man and a young girl sitting beside him.

He didn't know the girl, but he had a slight impression of the old man, as if his father had asked the old man to take him away.

Before he fainted, his father's stern scolding appeared in his mind.

Suddenly, a tingling sensation came from my brain.

He got up with difficulty, looked at the old man, and said eagerly, "Shangxian, why am I on top of the carriage?" Our government, what is the situation now? Can the family be pardoned? ”

The old man just glanced at the other party lightly, and replied very calmly, "Your father entrusted you to me, and I hope you will live the rest of your life in peace." You have a good rest now, and in the future, you can follow me into the mountain to practice with peace of mind."

Practicing with peace of mind?

Young Lang remembered that the Yan thief had ordered the punishment of the ten clans of the Fang family before.

And now that the life and death of the clan are uncertain, how can he practice with peace of mind.

So, I saw him raise his voice almost rudely, "Where am I still in the mood to practice now?" Our family has been loyal and good for generations, but now it has suffered the disaster of extermination because of the swallow thief, but what do you say to me to enter the mountain to practice? ”。

He could see that this old man seemed to be a person with great cultivation.

And he has indeed had a heart to practice martial arts since he was a child, and he has dreamed countless times that he can perform light skills and dominate the world.

But in the face of the death of his clansmen, whether he practiced martial arts or not was no longer important to him now.

He only wants to know the life and death of his clan, and he only wants to know whether his parents are still alive.

I don't know why, but the old immortal didn't reply.

But the groom, who was in control of the carriage, tightened the reins, stopped the carriage, and said impatiently to the people in the carriage, "If you wake up, you will eat first, you don't even have the strength to walk now, and you are still shouting swallow thief swallow thief".

The little girl in the carriage immediately took out the steamed buns and water bags in the package and handed them to the young man. And said to him, "The immortals are also for your good, please don't speak loudly to the immortals." ”

The young man saw that he was being lectured by a girl younger than him, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he felt that the other party handed him food and drink, and the tone of his voice was not a lesson, so he suppressed the unhappiness in his heart.

After all, the old man had indeed brought himself out of danger.

But the problem is that he doesn't want to leave, even if he dies, he still wants to die with his people.

So he had no choice but to bow to the immortal and said sincerely, "Immortal, it was my fault just now, because I was homesick, I only wish to know some matters at home." ”

The old immortal smiled and nodded.

But just as he was about to reply, there was a sudden sound of conversation outside the carriage.

At this moment, I saw two men holding firewood knives and carrying firewood, walking across the carriage towards the mountains and forests in the distance.

It's just that while they are walking, they are talking about something.

One of the woodcutters said: "Just now I passed by the post station, and I heard the officers and soldiers who were resting say that the new emperor had announced his accession to the throne yesterday and changed the name of the era to Yongle. ”

Another woodcutter asked: "I also heard from the officers and soldiers at the post station yesterday that the family of Fang Xiaoru, a scholar of the former dynasty, was executed by ten clans, and a total of more than 870 people were killed. Including his son Fang Yuanshan, and his grandson Fang Tianhai were all executed by Ling Chi. ”

As soon as these words came out, the young man in the carriage shook his brain.

A rush of blood went straight to my heart.

Suddenly, I saw him jump up and want to get out of the car to ask.

But at this moment, the little girl actually hugged his right arm with all her strength and did not let him go.

She lowered her voice and whispered to the other party, shouting.

"The immortal took the risk to save you, and now you go down and question the other party, aren't you trapping the immortal in a dangerous place. Besides, King Yan has ascended the throne, and the whole Fang Mansion has also been killed, even if you return to Beijing now, what can you do, do you want to live up to your father's wishes? ”

When the young man heard the little girl's words, he turned his head to look at the other party's somewhat pale, but delicate face.

For a moment, I didn't know what to say.

He knew that what the girl said was not wrong...

He knew that even if he entered Beijing, he might not be able to do anything.

He just didn't want to admit it, and he didn't want to admit it.

Sometimes, the truth was too sharp, sharp like a bayonet, and it was stabbed into his chest.

He suddenly felt a tingling pain in his heart, and it was dark in front of him.

Then he fell headlong into the girl's arms.

Seeing this, the girl sat down first, then looked at the old immortal, and said worriedly, "Immortal, he will be fine." ”

The old immortal also looked at the young man, and said leisurely, "No, it's just because there is an unbearable weight in my heart that I fainted." Rest for a day or two and you'll be fine. ”

The little girl turned her head to look at the young man and thought to herself, "That's good.... I hope that the descendants of the Fang family can live well."
