The martial saint called Xiahou Shangyuan to the front and introduced Yu Xiang and the red lady: "This is your senior brother Xiahou Shangyuan!" ”

In fact, Yu Xiang had already guessed that this man was short and thin, wearing a torn oil sermon robe, and his head was big. Mao's old man is nicknamed "Zhensanshan and Wuyue to catch up with the waves, and the ghost is sorrowful, and the big-headed ghost king swordsman" Xiahou Shangyuan. Jianghu people are mostly called "big-headed swordsmen". Usually he will play with a pair of steel galls in his hands, and this pair of steel galls can be used as a hidden weapon at a critical time.

When Xiahou Shangyuan was young, he was superb in martial arts and had unique skills, his eyes were empty, and he thought he was invincible in the world. Therefore, he was very dissatisfied and dissatisfied with the "Martial Saint Ai Lianchi" at that time, so he decided to compete with him, and Ai Lianchi, who was gentle and kind, reluctantly agreed under the coercion of Xiahou Shangyuan. The two chess opponents, a battle is three days and three nights, from "swearing to fight to the death" to "mutual admiration", and finally Xiahou Shangyuan lost to Ai Lianchi with half a move. The two are like-minded, similar in martial arts, and similar in age, so Ai Lianchi proposed to marry Jin Lan with Xiahou Shangyuan, but was rejected by Xiahou Shangyuan, saying, "Although you and I are very close in martial arts, I am far from being a person", blaming himself for not knowing the masters, and regretting that he worshiped Ai Lianchi as a teacher. If you don't fight, you don't know each other, and you become a close friend after a dozen. The two are called master and apprentice, but they are actually brothers, complementing each other and helping each other, and their relationship is not comparable to others.

Yu Xiang knew the origin of the two of them, and hurriedly stepped forward to bow down. The red lady was very strange to Yu Xiang's move, because Xiahou Shangyuan could only be regarded as their senior brother, how could Yu Xiang make such a grand kneeling salute, but she still gave a heavy salute with Yu Xiang.

Xiahou Shangyuan saw that Yu Xiang respected him so much, he happily helped them up, looked left and right at Yu Xiang, looked carefully, and couldn't stop nodding his head and praised: "Sure enough, he is a hero and talent, and his bearing is extraordinary!" ”

Yu Xiang was praised by him a little weak-hearted, and secretly wondered in his heart, could it be that he had only been over for more than three months, and he had an extraordinary bearing? Yu Xiang himself felt as if nothing had changed. However, Xiahou Shangyuan is self-contained, and he will not flatter people casually. Hearing Xiahou Shangyuan's praise, Yu Xiang secretly felt a little proud in his heart.

Martial saint Ai Lianchi introduced the abbot of Shaolin Temple Master Wuwei, the head of the Wudang faction, the head of the Yucha Dao, the head of the Huashan faction Mu Renqing, the head of the Emei faction and others, Yu Xiang saw the salute one by one, so many top masters in the rivers and lakes helped the heat, so Yu Xiang was very shocked, these martial arts celebrities stomped their feet casually, and the whole rivers and lakes would tremble, I really didn't expect to gather in the loess gang to help Xincun defeat Zhang Xianzhong, it was incredible.

When Yu Xiang was greeting everyone, Liu Xiangzhong came back to report: "Liu Guoneng has occupied Zhang Xianzhong's camp, but Zhang Xianzhong has not been caught, Zhang Xianzhong has already fled and does not know where to go. ”

Yu Xiang sighed in his heart, knowing that Zhang Xianzhong and they were used to running away, and it was too difficult to catch them, Yu Xiang was eager to see Liu Guoneng who broke into the sky, and wanted to get some food and property from Zhang Xianzhong, so he said to Ai Lianchi: "Master, let's go to Zhang Xianzhong's camp together to see if there is anything to gain!" ”

Ai Lianchi agreed, and led all the martial arts people to go straight to Zhang Xianzhong's camp by the Shihe River under the Loess Gang.

In the distance, I saw the Shihe River, full of people, kneeling down in the dark, the scene was magnificent.

After Yu Xiang got closer, he saw that the one kneeling in front was Liu Guoneng, who was breaking through the sky, and saw him kneeling on his knees from a distance, holding a knife above his head with both hands, respectfully welcoming Yu Xiang to surrender.

Yu Xiang quickened his pace, stepped forward, and helped up with both hands to break into the sky: "Brother Guoneng, I can look forward to you, please get up, please get up quickly!" ”

Chuang Tiantian said: "The country is willing to follow President Yu Qian, let it be sent, this is my saber with me, dedicated to President Qian, to clarify my intentions." ”

Yu Xiang did not shirk, respectfully took the saber with both hands, raised it above his head, and said to the heavens: "From now on, we are a family, sharing blessings and difficulties, shouldering morality, caring for the common people, being sincere and honest, and working together!" ”

After speaking, Yu Xiang handed the knife to the red lady to keep, she and Chuang Tiantian's hands were tightly clasped together, turned sideways to the crowd kneeling on the ground, and said loudly: "Everyone, please get up!" ”

"Mr. Xie Qian" There was a thunderous shout from the crowd.

Then, people stood up from the ground, and the scene of thousands of people rising from the ground like waves was spectacular and very shocking. Chuang Collapse Tian has already informed everyone of the situation of the new village and Yu Xiang's interpretation of himself, everyone is willing to follow Chuang Collapse to the new village, after coming to the Loess Gang, seeing the old enemy Zhang Xianzhong was defeated by Yu Xiang, almost the whole army was wiped out, at this time, everyone has admired Yu Xiang to the ground, Yu Xiang at this moment, in their hearts, is simply a god descending to earth.

The martial arts people present are all Taishan Beidou-level figures in the current martial arts world, everyone sees the famous Liu Guoneng, under the afterglow of the sunset, in the back of the loess gang where the corpses are all over the field. Under the scene, the scene of leading thousands of people to kneel and surrender is too spectacular. Bringing everyone a strong visual impact and spiritual shock, these martial arts masters couldn't help but re-examine Yu Xiang and look at him with admiration, even these Taishan Beidou looked at Yu Xiang's eyes, and they were ashamed of themselves. How arrogant these people are, even if they stand before them today, they will not have such admiration.

Yu Xiang looked at the thousands of people brought by the collapse in front of him, all of them were ragged and thin, but their faces were full of joyful and surprised expressions, and they were happy that they were no longer running around, hiding and hiding, and they had no meal to spend. To their surprise, they had never seen such an approachable iron-blooded general. It was incredible that more than 1,000 people could annihilate Zhang Xianzhong's army of more than 10,000 people, and the crowd was full of surprise.

In view of the current situation, Yu Xiang issued three orders in one breath:

"Inform Governor Chen and ask him to send someone to count the battlefield."

"Inform Zhang Xuemei to prepare a dinner for 10,000 people, kill pigs and sheep, and ensure that everyone can eat meat."

"Inform Zhang Zhongyang and get ready to receive patients."

After receiving Yu Xiang's order, several fast horses galloped forward to report the news.

Yu Xiang did this, he had his own deep meaning, with the help of the hand of Chen Zhifu, he reported the battle exploits, and he immersed. has been in the officialdom for many years, and there is no doubt about the application of power. So Yu Xiang decided to give up the first credit to Governor Chen. As for arranging for Zhang Zhongyang to be ready to receive patients, it was Yu Xiang who saw many hungry homeless people in front of him, running under the scorching sun for days and days, and did not eat properly, so he judged that many of them must be sick, so that Zhang Langzhong was ready to treat them.

After issuing the order, Yu Xiang took Chuang Collapse and the martial arts leaders to inspect the battlefield, at this time, everyone smelled a smell of meat and felt very excited, after all, everyone had been hungry for a day.

Following the aroma, he came to a large house, and there was no doubt that the aroma was wafting from it, and strangely enough, several homeless people outside the house were vomiting, and the homeless people did not enter the house to grab food. This situation is very strange, Yu Xiang is very curious, and he is about to enter the house with his legs.

Qi Dayong stepped forward and said, "Mr. Qian, please wait a moment, wait until I go in to find out the situation and ensure safety, and then go in before it is too late, just in case." ”

Yu Xiang saw that Qi Dayong was kind-hearted, and he was not stubborn, so he asked Qi Dayong to go in to find out the situation.

Soon, Qi Dayong's face came out with an ugly face, and he said to Yu Xiang: "Lord Qian, there is no danger inside, but I still advise you not to go in. ”

Yu Xiang said in his heart: Today's bloody battle, I have seen so many dead people, there is nothing, now I am not even afraid of death, what are the disgusting things, Qi Dayong's words have aroused strong curiosity. He said in a resolute tone: "I want to go in and have a look, please lead the way." ”

Qi Dayong had to enter the house again, Yu Xiang then entered the house to take a look, only to see a corner of the room, piled up with many women's heads, hands and feet, as well as clothes and shoes, in the middle of the room, there are several large iron pots side by side, under the iron pot is burning wood, and large pieces of meat are tumbling in the pot. Apparently the human flesh of those women.

Yu Xiang looked at it, as if an invisible hand was gripping his stomach tightly and scratching his throat, he couldn't hold back any longer, a burst of nausea, and he vomited wildly.

Master Wuwei, the abbot of Shaolin, and a group of Shaolin disciples clasped their hands together at this moment, reciting scriptures, and surpassing the dead.

Wudang, Emei, Huashan and other martial arts people recited the Dharma horn and expressed their condolences to these innocent dead in their own ways.

Liu Guoneng saw this scene and remembered the truth that Yu Xiang said before to save people's lives, and the scene of cannibalism in the house was vividly interpreted, killing each other in order to survive. Like Zhang Xianzhong, he led the peasant uprising, originally to save people, but it led to more deaths because of him.

What is the sin of those who cook in this pot?

Those who were killed, those squires who were very rich, what were they guilty of?

Some people have accumulated wealth through the efforts of several generations, and they have become rich through hard work, what is the sin? What is their sin in when their property is looted, their homes are ruined, and their women are humiliated and killed?

At this moment, Liu Guoneng, in the chanting of Master Wuwei, repented, his heart was surprisingly transparent at the moment, as if he had seen through all the good and evil disputes in the world, and saw through the red dust, his eyes involuntarily looked at Master Wuwei, the abbot of Shaolin, and the idea of escaping into the empty door rose in his heart.

However, now is not the time, and he still has a lot of unfinished business.

Yu Xiang couldn't bear to see this cruel and bloody scene anymore, he went out of the house, and said to the red lady: "Take someone to bury them well, this room will be kept, and it will be called the Cooking Women's Temple in the future, and the world will be too peaceful, so that future generations will come to pay tribute to these innocent women who died because of the war, and let future generations remember that there was once a group of innocent women who were cooked because of the war, so that future generations can learn to be grateful and cherish peace." ”

The red lady silently remembered Yu Xiang's words, and she ordered someone to dig a big pit in this room and bury these women in this big pit.

After the war, the house was rebuilt and an ancestral hall was built, and every year during the Qingming Festival, local officials would come to pay their respects.

Yu Xiang's move was seen and praised in the eyes of the martial arts masters who came with him. They saw Yu Xiang's compassionate side, and then recognized Yu Xiang's ability and character more.

It is precisely because of the flying pigeon biography of these Jianghu titans that Yu Xiang's in just a few days after that, he became famous and well-known, and the artists of the rivers and lakes are competing to use the Battle of Loess Gang as a blueprint to deduce many versions of storytelling, tea houses and wine shops, and the audience is bursting, and people never get tired of listening to this kind of usual.

There was a strange phenomenon in the Ming Dynasty, from the dignitaries to the common people at dawn, everyone regarded Yu Xiang as a hero, and Yu Xiang was recognized by all levels of society. Taking Zuo Liangyu as an example, while suppressing the peasant rebel army, they burned and plundered everywhere, killing good people and risking their merits, which greatly ruined the image of the imperial army, led to the extreme hatred of the people of Liming for the imperial army, and further intensified the contradiction between the common people and the imperial court. However, Yu Xiang's army has been unanimously praised by the people, and later appeared, wherever the Xincun army went, the people welcomed and competed to join the army. These will be explained in more detail later.

Yu Xiang left this disgusting big house, and led everyone to another big room, where forty or fifty young women were tied up, and when they saw someone entering, they curled up in a ball with a frightened look in their eyes.

Only a young woman was unkempt, still standing, standing out from the crowd, glaring at Yu Xiang fiercely and said: "Dog thief, don't torture us like this anymore, give me a good time, let us die cleanly." She would never have thought that Zhang Xianzhong's army had been wiped out in just one day, and Yu Xiang was regarded as a bad person.

Yu Xiang was not angry, but asked calmly, "What's your name?" ”

The woman snorted at Yu Xiangcui fiercely and said, "My aunt's name is Liu Danzhen, how are you doing?" "She was so tormented that she wanted to die quickly.

Yu Xiang said to Liu Danzhen: "Zhang Xianzhong has already escaped, you don't have to be afraid, I am here to save you." ”

Liu Danzhen, like the other women in the house, didn't believe it was true when they heard the news. It wasn't until someone untied them and released them that these women woke up from a dream, and they all began to cry, and this morning, among them, some of their sisters, mother-in-law, and daughters-in-law, were still together, and now they are separated by yin and yang, of course, they do not know what their relatives have died tragically, otherwise, I am afraid that many people will immediately go crazy.

Now they are all ruined, these people, most of the squire's family members and daughters, a few days ago, enjoyed a noble life, but now they are ruined and have become prisoners of the ranks, many of whom are literate and literate, and who are knowledgeable. War is so brutal.

Yu Xiang and Liu Danzhen calmed down and said: "You are willing to go back to your hometown to find your relatives, and after receiving the travel expenses, you can leave on your own, if you are willing to join the new village, we welcome you." ”

Liu Danzhen wiped away her tears with her sleeve, and said resolutely: "The little woman is willing to follow the adult, and she will not hesitate to be a cow or a horse, as long as she can one day slash the demon Zhang Xianzhong, even if I am crushed, I am willing." ”

When the other women heard Liu Danzhen say this, they all agreed, these women stopped crying at this moment, their eyes revealed a chilling fortitude, and the weak women who returned from the death line burst out with great strength.

From now on, a women's revenge team led by Liu Danzhen appeared in Xincun, and it took Yu Xiang a long time to let them return to normal and live a peaceful life as ordinary people.
