Chapter Forty-Eight: The End (Part II)

On the outskirts of Yangzhou City, pieces of pines and cypresses are verdant, in this wild and yellow land it seems to be very eye-catching, in this piece of pine and cypress bushes, a towering nine-story pagoda towers, here is Emperor Yang of Sui in order to go to Yangzhou to see Qionghua, a special construction of a courtyard, for him, such a thing is really done. The towering pagoda has a spire ten feet above the ground. Surrounded by six sides and eight corners, the high upturned cornices are carved with mysterious beast heads, which is the most eye-catching building outside the city of Yangzhou. And climbing to the top of this pagoda is enough to overlook the entire Yangzhou City. It's just that this tower is really a little sensitive, and no one dares to make up their minds, and Li Er has been working hard all these years, and he has no leisure to take care of it. So it was abandoned, this tower in these years do not know how many poor people to provide shelter, Zhenguan years, Li Erqing after the thin endowment, only to make the life of the people of the Tang Dynasty have changed, the people who live in this tower have moved out in the past few years, so this place is completely deserted.

But at this time, the tallest building in Yangzhou City ushered in a large group of guests, this time it was not a ragged refugee, nor a poor family with a family, but a luxurious carriage, following the knights who drove all the way to here, the car has all kinds of exquisite carvings, indescribable beauty. And behind these people, there is a large group of knights to escort them, and the posture of hugging them in front and back is not ordinary at first glance.

Behind these carriages, a strong man with his hands tied on his back, wearing a black shirt, a beard, eyes with brass bells, and a leopard's head ringed around his eyes. It's intimidating. But at this time, his hands were trapped, and his feet were tied to the saddle. so that he would not fall off the horse. His mouth was also gagged, but there was an inexplicable look shining in his eyes. It seems to pity those who are in front of him.

"It's here! The old man ...... "The coachman parked the carriage, then lifted the curtain and bowed down.

"Well......" the man in the carriage replied in a low voice, and then a voice said, "How many are there now?" ”

"Master Qiqi, in addition to us and the Boling branch here, only the royal family of the five surnames and Qiwang did not come, and the second-echelon families of the Jiangdong Pei family, the Lanling Xiao family, and the Xiaoxiang Chu family also came!" The groom who drives the car can drive the car for the head of his own house, and he must be a master of all sides. So along the way, I have quietly summarized the information of the entire messy family, and the answer at this time can be described as extremely beautiful.

"It seems that this time it will not be easy! Our Qinghe Cui clan has really suffered heavy losses this time, and if we lose again, I'm afraid the situation will be even worse! The people in the car took one foot, and a clean cloth boot was on the bluestone slab on the ground, and an old man with a lot of hair walked out of the carriage, he was the patriarch of the Cui clan in Qinghe, and he was only Cui Jing, who was over forty years old. But those things that happened to Qinghe Cui's during this time. Let him enter the stage of aging in advance, the original black hair, at this time has already become gray, and the gray sideburns make him look two rounds older than his actual age (every twelve years).

"That's it. Do your best, let it be the fate of heaven! Cui Jing sighed secretly, he didn't want to come. But because of something, he had to come. If he didn't come, he wouldn't be looked down upon. Then those guys who were already ready to move will definitely catch up like sharks with the smell of blood, and they will not stop until they divide up the Qinghe Cui clan. So he came, came here to say that the Qinghe Cui clan was down, as long as he was still there, then the Qinghe Cui clan was one of the five surnames and seven hopes, and no one could be insulted.

"Let's go meet the good man!" Cui Jing said and took the lead towards the back of the team, and when he walked by, the rest of the people in the carriage also followed, after all, they didn't fall out with Qinghe Cui at this time, so the necessary face still had to be given, but the body that would have been half a step behind was on a par with Cui Jing at this time, and what's more, for example, Fan Yang Lu's family was half a step ahead of Cui Jing, which made the young and aging head of the family can't help but itch his teeth.

"How is it, General Xue, the scenery is not bad along the way! Presumably, the general has been running all the way for most of the past six months, and he has not paid attention to the scenery around him like now! Lu An, a clan elder of the Fanyang Lu clan, spoke first. He is not a simple patriarch, but the previous patriarch of the Lu clan, and the uncle of the current patriarch of the Lu clan in Fanyang. So no one thinks it's inappropriate for him to speak first, Qinghe Cui's and this old guy's generation have already died in that curse, and after the death of Wang Jun of the Taiyuan Wang family, not to mention, in the end, there are still Boling Cui and Xingyang Zheng left, but Boling Cui has to leave a lot of strength to maintain the safety of the two families because of wearing crotch pants with Qinghe Cui, so the older generation is basically sitting on that side, Xingyang Zheng is head of the family is dead, and the clan elders are also fighting for power and profit like the Taiyuan Wang family. The people who came were all the young people who were back then, so this old guy from Lu An here is the highest.

"Woo woo......" Xue Wanche, who was covering his mouth, twisted his head and made a whining sound, but he didn't say a complete sentence.

"Come on, send General Xue off the horse!" Cui Jing said, the words fell, and an expressionless guard standing beside him unsheathed his long knife and slashed straight down.

In a flash of the knife, Xue Wanche's bound legs were suddenly liberated, he turned over and jumped off the horse, although his hands were still tied, but a harrier turned over and stood firmly on the ground.

"General Xue is so handsome, but aren't you ready to tell the truth now?" As long as the generals cooperate, then not only will the generals be free, but there will even be greater benefits, until our family is overthrown...... At that time, the glory and wealth were inexhaustible, I don't know what General Xue was thinking about? "Wang Yue, the most powerful person in the Taiyuan Wang clan at this time began to lure Xue Wanche at this time.

"Forgot, General Xue is still gagged at this time, I'm really embarrassed!" Wang Yue's brother Wang An beside him said loudly, and then stretched out his hand to tear off the square scarf on Xue Wanche's mouth, these families had not insulted Xue Wanche, and they did not use any rags or anything like that to plug Xue Wanche's mouth.

"Haha...... You people, all of you are here, you are still hesitating, you are all like a girl, such a character, still want to do great things? Let's go home and nurse the baby! I'm ......" Xue Wanche just pulled off the square scarf that covered his mouth, he laughed and sarcastically mocked these people, in his opinion, these people's current virtues are not worthy of being the head of a big family at all, such a family must be a family that has been corrupted by extravagant life, how can it be worthy of the admiration of all the people? How can it be a role model for the world? It is no wonder that these families will retire from the stage of history, because they should have been eliminated long ago.

"Let's go, let's go in, when we find something, even if you Xue Wanche begs me, it depends on the uncle's mood!" Wang An's face was white and red, very ugly, no one had ever dared to speak to him like this, even if he had always been a gentleman-like character in the Wang family. But as the young master of one of the largest families in the Tang Dynasty, no one dared to sarcastically mock him to his face. So he took the lead and strode away.

In fact, in Wang An's heart, the thought of killing Xue Wanche has been thickened, but now that so many families are together, they will not allow themselves to kill this guy, everyone wants to take out useful information from Xue Wanche's mouth, so as to be one step ahead, but no one knows that in Xue Wanche's eyes, they are just clowns jumping off the beam, and their deep necks in search of that thing are like ducks sticking out of their necks, These thoughts are just a flash in Xue Wanche's heart, without the slightest expression, I have to say that the current Xue Wanche's acting skills are all at the level of an actor, these old foxes who have been rolling in officialdom for many years have not seen the clues, even if there is the temptation of the heirloom jade seal hidden in this nine-fold pagoda that Xue Wanche said, which makes these people a little unbalanced, but this is not easy.

If he wanted to hide these essences, Xue Wanche could be said to have worked hard, and even in order to hide the contempt in his eyes, he raised a handful of dust and confused his eyes to cover up. At this time, these people were about to walk into the trap he had set, which made him feel extremely nervous and excited, and so full of pride and contempt.

"Even if you are treacherous like ghosts, you haven't eaten your uncle's footwash!" Ha ha...... Xue Wanche laughed three times in his heart, seeing that in addition to himself, there were several people outside this pagoda who were guarding each other in twos and threes, and he knew that the opportunity to get out had come.

A small flying knife came out of nowhere and slid into Xue Wanche's palm, and then the rope that helped him break into several pieces silently. But Xue Wanche didn't make a show, but used the excuse that he was going to pee, and asked the already sparse guards to separate the two and follow him towards a small corner outside the pagoda.

"The time is ripe, it's almost time to act, and I'm in control by now!" Xue Wanche walked in front, holding the broken rope behind his back with both hands, holding the end of the rope in his hands so that people could not see the clues, and then walked towards the place they had agreed before.

The overgrown corners, the road is unusually difficult to walk, and the half-human-high weeds cover the original path, which shows that this place has been abandoned for a long time. But Xue Wanche walked forward with a purpose, as if he was really looking for a place to pee. But no one noticed that there was a slight difference in the place they had walked, but these dead soldiers rarely had the experience of acting in the mountains and forests, so they turned a blind eye to these seemingly natural, but actually contained special and mysterious traces, which also made Xue Wanche feel relaxed for a while, and he was one step closer to the goal!
