Chapter 214: The Missing Man
The news of returning to Chang'an spread far and wide. [No pop-ups. 】
With the academy as the core, it spreads out in a volcanic eruption.
Everyone who heard the news was in a state of doubt.
After the first battle of Bazhou City, the king of Hanyang died, and Zhou Chutian said that he was ill. The official originally wanted to announce to the world that Mo Fei was a treason for collaborating with the enemy, but in the first battle of Yanyun, Mo Fei was distinguished and the royal prestige was discredited.
Politicians have politicians' considerations, and conspirators have conspirators' deliberations.
Although the news of the death of Bazhou in the war is boiling, many conspirators have doubts about it. Now, when I heard that Mo Fei had returned to Chang'an alive, my doubts were even worse.
Could it be that he did not die in battle, but the imperial court released the news of Mo Fei's death in advance, could it be ...... Whether Mo Fei is dead or not, the imperial court will get rid of Mo Fei? Thinking of this, and thinking of the previous rumors that the eighteen horsemen of Cangying who appeared in the First Battle of Bazhou did not return to Chang'an with Mo Fei, these people felt that there must be something strange about this matter.
……
At the same time, in the river town outside Langshan in southern Xiangnan, people come and go on the street, walking in a hurry.
Yang Yan of the Hanging Heaven Mansion walked in with a group of people riding a high-headed horse, Langshan was remote and sparsely populated. In Linhe Town, there are few outsiders who come, so when Yang Yan and others came to this place, they attracted the attention of many people.
Yang Yan and the others walked inside.
At this time, the crowd in front gathered.
People gathered on both sides of the road, shouting and discussing. In the middle of the road, a row of people in government uniforms carried many stretchers, and on the stretchers lay many dead people covered with white cloths. A woman in front of her ran out crying and shouted, "Daddy...... Dad, where are you taking my dad? She dragged the escort next to her and asked, "Why did you take my father's body?" ”
The old catcher said impatiently: "There is such a big incident in Linhe Town, you must report it to the yamen, so that the gangster who killed your father can be brought to justice." ”
Yang Yan walked to the teahouse next to the tea street, threw a silver ingot on the table, and asked the shopkeeper, "What's going on here?" ”
Seeing that the origin of these people was unknown, the shopkeeper didn't want to say anything, but when he saw that the other party was generous, he quietly put away the silver. sighed and said: "The guest officer is a foreigner at a glance, don't you know, our Linhe Town is a small temple Bodhisattva, hey!" Here lived a powerful man in the court. ”
Yang Yan said: "Oh? What is it called? “
The old man wanted to speak and stopped, but after seeing Yang Yan's threatening eyes, he laughed dryly and said, "Lord Hong Jihong." ”
Yang Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he muttered to himself, "Is it him?" Then he glared at the shopkeeper and said, "Go on." ”
"It's also strange to say that after Lord Hong came here with his family, he settled here and became the first family in the town. But who would have thought that just last night, all the elders of the Hong family died tragically in the mansion overnight. But the whereabouts of the villain are unknown. It's not ...... The government is now investigating the cause of this incident. ”
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he heard a call from the table next to him and hurriedly ran away.
After Yang Yan drank a cup of tea, he asked the person next to him, "How many are these?" ”
"The eighth."
"Huh...... Eighteen Riders. They all came back with a blood feud! ”
……
In Chuzhou City, there were three corpses on the streets, and the corpses were horrible and unpale. The surrounding people looked at the corpse on the ground in silence, huddled behind the railings on both sides of the street, and looked vigilantly at the man sleeping on the donkey next to the corpse.
"Who is it? Who killed my Iron Gate disciple? ”
At this moment, a burly middle-aged man with a full beard ran over, followed by a group of panting young men in the same costume.
"What's going on?" The bearded man ran over and glanced at the ground, and then, pulling a random visitor from the side, grabbed him by the collar and yelled, "Who did that?" ”
The spectator shook his head in fright, threw him out with a beard, and scolded: "Waste! Then he pulled another man and shouted, "You say! If you don't say anything more, I'll kill you. ”
The man trembled with fright, and his fingers trembled and pointed to the eighteen horsemen on the donkey's back, the second one.
"You killed the man?"
Luo Hu roared, the second child did not speak, Luo Hu pulled out the treasure knife from his crotch, and said in a deep voice: "Dare to kill me in the iron gate at the Chuzhou territory, you are impatient." ”
After finishing speaking, he raised the big knife and instantly slashed at the second child, and the bearded knife fell, but he couldn't make the slightest inch. When I looked up, I saw the man in front of me with his eyes closed and his sword between his fingers. The wind in the palm of his other hand drove the air around him and slashed at him. The second child's clothes fluttered, and he clenched his fist with one hand and bounced away his beard.
Beard: "What a gut! How dare you do it to me!"
The second child opened his eyes slightly and smiled lightly, this laughter, in the eyes of the beard, was undoubtedly a mockery.
"Kill him for me."
The beard gave an order. The disciples of the Iron Gate rushed towards him. The second child flew one by one, kicked everyone with a chain of feet, and everyone fell to the ground in response, wailing constantly. At the moment when the second child landed, the beard took advantage of his unpreparedness and cut off the knife. The second child turned sideways, the big knife was embarrassing, and when he saw this, he forcibly retracted the knife that continued to move forward, and swept towards the second child. It's just that the knife hasn't arrived, and he suddenly felt a chill behind him and turned his head to look, the second child has been instantly transferred behind him, a little cold suddenly appeared, and the sword was like a swimming dragon
There is no way to avoid it, and his pupils are dilated, and his life is hanging by a thread. The young man in front of him wiped a smile on the corner of his mouth and whispered, "Bad! ”
"Zheng ——!" The sword in the old second-hand trembled, and directly cut off the knife that the beard was quickly blocking.
And the blade of the sword was already pressed against the neck of the beard.
"You...... You ......"
The beard looked at the second child, and said two of you in a row, the disciples of the iron gate saw that their master was being held hostage, and they didn't dare to step forward, and after taking a look, they retreated.
"Who are you?"
The second child looked at the overly frightened iron gate master, and his signature smile revealed: "I am the one who wants your life." ”
When he heard this, he was even more panicked, and bad people like them were most afraid of this kind of unreasonable ruthless people, so he hurriedly begged for mercy: "This young man, wait...... You wait! ”
The second child didn't speak, he looked at the beard with a smile, and the beard swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said: "I don't know Shaoxia, and we have no enmity with Shaoxia in the past, why are you looking for trouble with our iron gate?" ”
"Don't know each other?" (To be continued.) )
