In October, the south of the Yangtze River is still green, but the north of the country is different.

Everything withered, and the heavens and the earth were vast. The violent cold wind raged by, blowing the bare ground, revealing mottled stones, and looking up, the heaven and earth were dyed into a patch of earth yellow by the yellow sand flying in the air. The mountains in the distance, in this dust, are faintly visible.

A cold wind swept through with the sand and dust, and in the flying wind and sand, the dilapidated pass of the tiger's mouth was visible in the distance.

Killing the tiger's mouth has been an important place for soldiers since ancient times, and it is also the last line of defense between the Central Plains and the outside of the Saiwai. However, due to the ravages of the Turkic iron cavalry for more than ten years, the Great Zhou army was unable to resist and could only withdraw its troops in the end. Give this killer away.

It's just that the Turks have no interest in this poor place where yellow sand flies all year round. In previous years, they only rode here on horseback to plunder and then returned home. However, with the successive southward migration of the people of the Central Plains here, it has also become a barren land. In the end, even the Turks did not bother to come.

In the end, a stream of bandits spread to this place. It has become a unique scenery in the mouth of the tiger.

The successive disasters of war have made this originally barren place even more impoverished. The fields are barren and the villages are desolate. Along the way, there were countless starvations, and countless corpses fell on the side of the road.

Su Zhengwen licked his dry lips, raised his head, squinted at the collapsed pass in front of him, and sighed sadly.

It's been five days, and I've been on the road without sleep. From Jiangning, where the warm spring and the flowers bloom all year round, fled miserably all the way to the north of the Saibei. Su Zhengwen has long since lost his previous appearance as a talented man. Now he is wearing a thick sheepskin jacket, with an embarrassed beard and a dirty face, like a refugee who has fled here.

Seeing the killing tiger's mouth, that is to say, he finally escaped from An Peng's clutches.

The heart that had been hanging for more than ten days was finally let go.

I think of the thrilling experience along the way, the family who died tragically on the road, and the father who lives and dies in Jiangning far away. Su Zhengwen's heart was filled with a great sadness.

Su Zhengwen fell to his knees with a thud, bursting into tears.

Anpeng! I don't share the sky with you!

Su Zhengwen raised his fist and slammed it on the cold ground. Gritted his teeth and roared in a low voice.

More than ten days ago, Su Zhengwen, who was drinking a little wine in the Cuihong Mansion in Jiangning, met a son with a gloomy face dressed in gorgeous clothes.

At that time, Su Zhengwen was also high-spirited, and when he saw this person sitting opposite him inexplicably, he felt a little angry in his heart. When he was about to greet the family and drive this person out of the green building. But seeing this person smiled coldly, he took out a jade plate from his arms, and on the jade plate, on the majestic Fuhu, a word An was particularly eye-catching.

Born in the house of the eunuch, of course Su Zhengwen knows this brand. And. Recently, my family is having a close relationship with the owner of this jade plate.

Could it be that this person is a confidant of Lord An?

At that time, although Su Zhengwen was puzzled in his heart, he didn't dare to be presumptuous when the gold medal was in front of him. It's just that the kind words ask the other party's origin.

The other party looked at Su Zhengwen, who was in front of him, and a mocking smile flashed in his indifferent eyes.

After asking Su Zhengwen to drive all the people around him out of the room, this person held the teacup and said slowly: "Master Su, do you know why I came to you?" ”

Su Zhengwen shook his head blankly, clenched his fists and said, "I hope to teach!" ”

This person leaned forward, stared at Su Zhengwen's eyes, and said word by word: "Your Majesty has already learned about your father and Fan Zengliu's mansion framing Lord Wang's descendants. Now His Majesty is furious, and has issued a holy decree to behead everyone involved in this matter! But, after all, your father has an old relationship with Lord An. An Daren misses his old belongings and can't bear to see your Su family destroyed. Therefore, I sent me down to help you Su Sangongzi leave Jiangning! Leave a bloodline for your Su family! ”

After that, this person glanced at Su Zhengwen with a sneering face, and he didn't care. just left a note and said: "Hehe, I know in the next, Su Gongzi doesn't believe it, but I persuade the son, now go home and take a look." Oh, I've been waiting for you in this place all along! Outdated does not wait! ”

After saying this, this middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes hugged Su Zhengwen and got up to leave.

Su Zhengwen, who is used to deceiving people, of course will not believe this person's words so easily. However, remembering that this person said the inside story of the palace that only his father and himself knew, I vaguely felt that there was something strange about this matter.

Especially his last sentence, you can see it when you go home. It had an extremely powerful impact on his heart.

Some time ago, he often saw his father sitting in the study with a sad face, sighing. After asking, I learned that there was a big problem in Liufu, which my family had been supporting.

After Liufu won the bid for military uniforms, it began to make silk soft armor on a large scale. In just over ten days, hundreds of pieces of silk soft armor set off from Jiangning and flowed to the garrison in Saibei.

Originally, when my father and the head of the Liu family saw the rolling silver, they couldn't close their mouths with joy, and even celebrated in the Cuihong Mansion for several days.

However, not long after. An Daren's people in the army sent back the news that the silk soft armor could not resist the flying arrows at all. Many lieutenants in the army died under the arrows of the Turks because they were wearing the silk soft armor of Liufu.

Moreover, not only that, but even the military uniforms produced in Liufu have serious problems.

After the sergeants put on these new uniforms, a few days later, they all developed a strange disease. The whole body is covered with red beans, and the itching is unbearable. The garrison of the Yanmen Pass generation thought that the imperial court deliberately rectified them, and in a fit of anger, there was a serious mutiny.

After learning the news, my father turned white overnight. The whole soul sighed. The whole family was scared to death. The whole house was full of mourning.

And Liufu is even more chaotic. The head of the Liu family became crazy overnight, and the maids and servants in the house fled and scattered. Even Liu Fu, the fat man, was so frightened that he lost a lot of weight.

These days, it seems that the news is just right when the news reaches the Tokyo Imperial Palace.

Su Zhengwen inadvertently felt that his right eye fell wildly. There was a panic in my heart. So, for a while, the mood of listening to music and drinking was nothing.

He threw down a few taels of silver and went downstairs towards his home.

However, when he sneaked to the outside of the weaving mansion, he was shocked to find that at some point, the originally bustling gate of the mansion suddenly became crowded.

Even the janitor was gone. The autumn wind blows, and the fallen leaves sweep the floor. In the bleak autumn wind, there were only a few suspicious-looking figures, constantly appearing nearby.

The looks and outfits of these people couldn't help but remind Su Zhengwen of the envoys of Lord An who would come to the house every once in a while in the past few years.

Su Zhengwen was shocked, and cold sweat poured down. His heart was filled with fear, and he trembled as he looked at his father, who was under house arrest.

At this time, a suspicious person who walked outside the mansion suddenly saw Su Zhengwen. After the man whispered a word to his companion, he saw the two men suddenly walking towards him.

Su Zhengwen wanted to shout, but he felt like something was plugged in his throat, and his voice was released. I wanted to run, but my legs were like lead, and I couldn't move.

Just when his mind was on the verge of collapse, the man in the Emerald Red Mansion suddenly appeared behind him and pulled him into the alley.

After a few tosses, he finally got rid of the person who was following behind.

In a courtyard outside Jiangning City, Su Zhengwen, who had survived the disaster, met Erniang, Sanniang, eldest aunt, and third aunt......

A group of people gathered miserably in this dilapidated courtyard, crying and wiping their tears.

Subsequently, a group of people followed the envoy of Lord An and left Jiangning at night.

Originally, I thought that after leaving the Jiangning realm, I would escape and ascend to heaven.

However, who would have thought. It turned out that this envoy was the most dangerous factor that existed around them.

This person is indeed the envoy of Lord An, but he did not come to Jiangning to save himself. but to extinguish the mouth.

When crossing the river by boat, the envoy changed his previous kindness, and his face became extremely sinister. With a wave of his hand, more than a dozen sword-wielding samurai poured out of the cabin and slashed at his own family.

Aunt, aunt, housekeeper...... Dozens of people collapsed in pools of blood in the blink of an eye. No one escaped.

And Su Zhengwen was also in a panic, fell into the river, and was washed away by the water and lost his trace, so he survived.

was washed to the shore by the river, and Su Zhengwen, who was immortal, fled all the way to the north in a panic, and only then did he escape An Peng's layers of search. After a lot of hardships, he fled to the cold and freezing north of the country.

Now, seeing the Tiger Killing Pass visible from afar, Su Zhengwen couldn't help but feel sad, and sat on the ground, crying helplessly.

Between heaven and earth, a patch of yellow. The wind swept the sand and gravel across the ground. The soft blades of grass hit the face, and it hurt like a knife.

Jiang Ning, it shouldn't be so cold!

Su Zhengwen wiped the tears from his face, looked at the dim world, listened to the roar of the wind that filled his ears, and said to himself with a miserable smile.

Stand up with your body brace. Su Zhengwen limped and walked forward.

However, as he walked into a col, he suddenly heard a loud noise from above.

He looked up, almost frightened by what he saw.

On the mountain beam, which is as steep as a knife, a boulder the size of a house rushes down with a thousand powers. Boulders rolled down the hillside quickly, bringing up countless gravel and dust. For a time, in the col, the dust was flying and deafening.

After Su Zhengwen ran back in embarrassment for a while, he finally dodged the boulder that fell from the sky.

However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw a group of hideous-looking and murderous bandits appear on the high mountain col.

My life is at rest!

Su Zhengwen sighed in his heart, and the strength in his body was withdrawn in an instant. He fell to the ground with a thud and passed out.
