The north of the Liao Dynasty is a vast prairie, many Khitan civilians are nomadic here, the capital of the Shangjing Emperor Linhuang Mansion is being built here, the Linhuang Mansion has the Liao Court, the Imperial Palace Hall and a variety of military mansions that dominate the country, such as: the Marshal of Soldiers and Horses, the Imperial Commander's Palace, etc., is the absolute center of the entire empire's politics, military and economy!

In the southeast of Linhuang Mansion, there is a mountain range called Wufeng, which is undulating and narrow for hundreds of miles, encompassing a city called Yanzhou. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Yanzhou County is the largest state in the Shangjing Province, not only with state and county officials, but also some high-ranking officials of the Liao court, is the most important barrier in Beijing. Yanzhou County is very large, and it has jurisdiction over many county seats, and there are many large and small forces in the city, among which Mufu is especially prosperous.

On the outskirts of Yanzhou County, a poor rural area.

It is worth mentioning that Liao was established in the present two hundred years, its culture has been imperceptibly influenced by the Han people, and later the Liao Emperor reformed the Han system, integrating the Han culture with the Khitan culture, both of which are in Liao, so the Khitan people are not completely nomadic in the later period, and at the same time there are some low-level untouchables, who can only rely on farming.

This phenomenon is particularly common in ancient China, such as the later Jin, Yuan, and Qing dynasties, among which the Xianbei people of the Northern Wei Dynasty during the Northern and Southern Dynasties were the worst, and the reform of Emperor Xiaowen directly abandoned the culture of his original nation, and all the Xianbei people inherited the Han culture compulsorily, so that the Xianbei culture has since withdrawn from the historical stage, which is staggering and regrettable.

On the road at the entrance of this village, a woman in a black shirt walked slowly, she was unkempt, dripping in cold sweat, her face was pale as paper, her lips were dry, and she took two more steps to finally endure this tired body, and fell down as soon as it was dark in front of her.

"Girl—" "Little girl..."

Two days passed, and when Yi Han opened her eyes, she saw a dilapidated house, although it was old, the room was still very tidy, there was no decoration, the room was not big, and the end could be seen at a glance, except for the bed she slept in, there was only a table and a stove, and that's it.

His gaze rested on the table, on which was a dagger, which was tightly attached to the scabbard of the pale yellow pear pattern, and there was nothing unusual about it.

Yi Han rested for two days and felt much better, she didn't have a mirror, she didn't know how she was dressed now, she got up from the bed and came to the table and re-tied the pear blossom dagger to her waist.

Just after doing all this, I saw that the dilapidated door of the house was pushed open, and an old woman in cloth clothes slowly walked in from outside the house, the old woman was dressed as a Khitan nation, and her clothes were patched. As he spoke, he closed the door.

Yi Han was a little stunned, looking at the old woman's pleasant appearance, it was estimated that she was also a bodhisattva-hearted person, her weather-beaten face was full of wrinkles, and her slightly sunken eye sockets were a pair of dark brown eyes, whispering about the vicissitudes of time. Yi Han didn't speak, just shook his head to indicate that he was fine.

The old woman helped her sit back on the bed, Yi Han must have known her condition, and she probably could guess that it was this old man who saved herself, she looked at the old woman in front of her and asked, "Auntie, are you alone in this family?" ”

The old woman sighed, with tears in her eyes, smiled bitterly and whispered: "This war has been raging, five children have been arrested to be strong men before, and there has been no news for many years, I don't know if I am still alive." As he spoke, his emaciated face was slid through his eyes.

Yi Han was silent when he heard this, this world is like this, how many families like this are tens of millions.

The old woman relented for a while, and as if she suddenly remembered something, she got up from the bed, walked to the stove, took out two shriveled nests, and came back with a bowl of water, and said, "Child, there is nothing at home, so you can fill your stomach with it." ”

Yi Han hadn't eaten for a few days, she hadn't been very noble since she was a child, and she naturally ate a nest like this often, and after saying thank you, she devoured it, but she was hungry.

The old man smiled and watched Yi Han finish eating, Yi Han may have felt that he had lost his temper just now, and wiped his mouth a little embarrassed, but as soon as he handed the small bowl to the old woman, the door of this house was suddenly kicked open by something!

The two of them trembled in shock when they heard the sound, and then they looked at it, only to see several men walking in outside the door one after another, all of them were Khitan, and the people led by them were dressed luxuriously, and they seemed to be the sons of a large family, wearing beautiful national costumes, combing their hair and being extremely arrogant. When he approached the room, he said sharply: "Hey, the old immortal, when will this land guarantee be handed over, Lao Tzu doesn't have so much patience!" ”

The old woman trembled with fright when she saw the visitor, and prayed with tears: "Master Mu, I have taken everything you want to take in this house, and you can take everything you can take, so you can leave me a way to live." ”

Na Mu Gongzi looked at her without a trace of sympathy, looked at the table in front of him, and said to his subordinates: "Move away, you old thing, you don't cherish the time you have given you, and I won't leave you this table even if it is smashed." ”

I don't know whether I saw Yi Han sitting on the bed behind the old woman intentionally or unintentionally, Yi Han didn't know that when she was still unconscious, the old man had simply wiped off the plaster on her face for her, although it wasn't very neat, but Yi Han himself was also beautiful, and when Mu Gongzi saw it, his soul was gone.

"Yo, is this my daughter back?" Mu Gongzi swallowed his saliva, and the subordinates behind him also laughed a little pale, and their saliva flowed vigorously, "Little sister, how many times do you have fun with your brother?" Mu Gongzi rubbed his hands and walked to the bed.

The old woman was taken aback and cried out, "No... Don't! ”

The noon sun is not hot, but the late autumn weather is a little cold in the north, the village is planted with agricultural products, there are fruits on the trees, and the children are happily climbing and picking, playing and playing, this scene also presents a peaceful scene.

Yi Han said goodbye to the old man and walked out of the door, put a dagger still dripping with bright red liquid into the scabbard embedded in her right boot, and she coldly determined the direction, and left the place no longer.

Everything seemed extraordinarily quiet, as if nothing had happened.

At the end of the village is on the mountain road to Wufeng, the Wufeng mountain range is not particularly famous, and it is not very dangerous, sometimes even the children in the village will come to the foot of the mountain to play, but... Everyone didn't know that there was an assassin organization hidden in this Wufeng Mountain, and that was the Shadow Sect.

Getting westerly, Yi Han walked on this mountain road, although it was not as dangerous as the peak, but there was also a beautiful scenery, and inadvertently she thought of the plank road outside the mural cave in the south of Langpan Mountain...

Turned a cliff, walked into a stone cave hidden by weeds, very messy and seems to be very dirty, I don't know how many years have not been taken care of, this cave is not big, it is estimated to be similar to the old woman's house just now, but there is a stone statue in the innermost part of the cave.

The stone statue looks majestic, with one hand behind its back, and one hand and chest holding a dagger with a strange pattern on it, about the length of a person's forearm.

Yi Han walked to the stone statue without pausing and knelt down, kowtowing three times in a row, it is said that this stone statue is the founding patriarch of the Shadow Sect, no one knows what his name is, the disciples only call the ancestor master, and the head of the descendant is called the shadow sect.

Yi Han didn't get up just after worshipping, only to see a tall man come out of the stone cave on the side, he was masked, wearing a night coat, looking a little Khitan flavor but not combing his hair, the original cold eyes when he saw Yi Han kneeling on the ground, also brought a trace of tenderness and heat, and said in surprise: "Little junior sister is back?" ”

Yi Han looked sideways, but he didn't have any expression, nodded in response, got up from the ground and patted the dust off his knees while asking, "Master?" ”

The man was slightly stunned for a moment, and then replied after a while: "Master and Uncle are playing chess at the Cliff of Broken Love." As he spoke, he saw Yi Han walking towards him, looked at this delicate body, and said lightly, "You are thin during this time..."

Before he finished speaking, Yi Han ignored him and walked past him, "Senior sister, wait!" The man suddenly turned around and shouted, seeing Yi Han pause, only to hear him sigh and say slowly, "I know I can't persuade you, but I hope you don't impulsively do things that you regret." ”

Yi Han blinked slowly, looked at the gravel-strewn pavement, and left the cave without hesitation.

Wufeng, the cliff of broken love.

The twilight is four, the last touch of the slanting sun is still nostalgic caressing the earth, the evening breeze is slowly fluttering, and the air is refreshing and pleasant.

There is an abyss at the edge of the cliff mouth, and although you can see the wild beasts at the bottom of the mountain prey, the height is still not low, and it is still intimidating to visit.

Two black-clothed men sat on the edge of this cliff under a big tree whose leaves were about to fall to compete in chess, one was wearing a night robe covering half of his cheeks, and the other was wearing a black robe and a hat, a pitch-black veil went down to his head to completely cover his entire face, and for some reason, this Shadow Sect was still so mysterious on his own territory.

In front of the two of them is a gorgeous chessboard, which is already densely covered with chess pieces, more black and less white, it seems that the defeat of white chess has been decided, and it is difficult to return to life.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines here, creating a different kind of beauty. Yi Han walked slowly from a distance, when she approached the two of them, she first glanced at the man in black robe, and then her eyes stayed on the man in black, and she saw that he took out the white chess pieces from the chess box next to her and put them into the chess game, Yi Han said: "Master, the apprentice has come back to his life." ”

Hearing this, the two people playing chess on the opposite side also turned their heads sideways at the same time, but then the black-robed man looked at the chess game again, and the man in black nodded and said with relief: "I've been worried about your situation for this time, just come back." "It seems that this person is the head of this Shadow Sect, the Shadow Sect.

The corners of Yi Han's mouth rose slightly, but he didn't say anything, he took out the Pear Blossom Death Dagger from behind him and held it in his hand and said, "The apprentice has taken back the Pear Blossom Life Dagger on the order of the master, Master, look." ”

As she spoke, Yi Han was about to step forward and hand it to him, but the Shadow Sect waved his hand to interrupt her move, and looked at the chessboard again and said, "You keep it, this thing is useful to you, and it will come in handy in the future, and it can be regarded as a wish for the teacher." ”

Yi Han was stunned for a moment, but his heart was extremely moved, this pear blossom dagger is an artifact on the list of different soldiers and the treasure of the Shadow Sect Town, it seems that the master is very concerned about his own affairs. After a moment's pause, Yi Hanbei bit his red lip slightly, and said, "Master, you promised your apprentice before, if you can retrieve the Pear Blossom Death Dagger, you will give me the list..."

Shadow Zongzi took a deep breath, and after watching the chess game for a while, he took out a letter from his arms and clamped it between his fingers, meaning that Yi Han would come and pick it up by himself.

Yi Han's eyes were shining, he was extremely happy, and he didn't hesitate to tie the pear blossom dagger behind him, and immediately stepped forward to retrieve the envelope from between the fingers of the shadow sect, and took a few steps back, and quickly opened it and looked at it.

Shadow Zongzi took the piece from the chessboard and fell, and the black-robed man opposite him said lightly: "I really didn't expect that Yao'er could break into the Wolf God Mansion Cave Tomb alone, and I admire this courage and ability of Uncle Shi very much." As he spoke, he took out the sunspot and dropped it on the chessboard.

Yi Han didn't reply again, she trembled and looked at the so-called list of letters, there were several names written on the paper, some of which she didn't know, and some of them were famous, such as Liu Jingong, Sun Shuo, Wang Helin, these big forces in the capital city, the last of them was written - Lu Yaozong!
