Qu Caifeng and Mu Lanxiang looked at Liu Qiniang at the same time, obviously they also had the same question, Liu Qiniang said with a straight face: "Then Yang Shen has a unique craft, claiming to have learned from ancient books, you can take a piece of pigskin, thin it to make the thickness of the dough, and then fill the pigskin with soil, you can make a person's face completely different, as if you have changed your face, he said that this is called disguise, which can be used to pretend to be others." ”

Li Cangxing laughed: "I can't imagine that in addition to Jinyiwei and the Huangshan faction in this world, there are also people who can disguise themselves, it's really strange, but since Yang Shen is well-read, it is understandable that he has this ability." Who did he find to disguise himself as himself? ”

Liu Qiniang said with a smile: "Yang Shen has a scholar by his side, he was sixteen or seventeen years old that year, he takes care of Yang Shen's daily life every day, so he knows Yang Shen's every move and every move very well, Yang Shen pretended to be himself and stayed in Kangba, while he himself pretended to be a tolerance and left with us." Oh, by the way, this time to escort Yang Shen, our group took money to get through the relationship, and pretended to be a tolerance to send him to Yunnan. ”

Li Cangxing nodded, put away his smile, and said, "Where did you go in Yunnan later?" Buckle Tiger Pond and Rolling Dragon Village? ”

Liu Qiniang shook her head: "No, we didn't go to these places at first, but traveled all the way, and even went to the Black Wood Cliff of the Demon Sect to meet Yin Buyun, the leader of the Demon Sect at that time. Alas, Leng Tianxiong was just Yin Buyun's apprentice at that time, but he already had that kind of heroic spirit, and he always accompanied us to the Demon Sect, that is, from that time on, the old village master and the Demon Sect also established a good relationship. ”

Li Cangxing shook his head: "Then Yang Shen is just a literati." What is he going to do in the Demon Cult? Could it be that Senior Lin wanted to establish a connection with the Demon Sect and deliberately went to the Black Wood Cliff? ”

Liu Qiniang smiled and waved her hand: "No, Li Daxia guessed wrong." The one who wants to go to Blackwood Cliff is not the old village owner. It's Yang Shen. It was he who took the initiative to say that Blackwood Cliff was worth going to and must be walked. We all said that there was the helm of the Demon Sect, and the stranger had died in the past, but he said that there was a way to make friends with the people of the Demon Sect, and we had no choice but to follow it. Become friends. ”

Li Cangxing's brows furrowed: "There is still such a thing, Yang Shen, a literati in the officialdom, has been demoted to Yunnan again, what does he have to do with the Demon Sect?" It's really weird. Senior Liu, did the old village owner mention that something was discussed that day? ”

Liu Qiniang shook her head: "These things are not for us subordinates to ask, otherwise the old village owner would not let us stay outside, and only went in with Yang Gongzi." But judging from their expressions when they came out, it was obvious that some kind of tacit understanding and agreement had been reached, and Yin Buyun did not greet the old village owner. just sent the eldest disciple Leng Tianxiong out to receive him, but he personally sent the old village owner and Yang Gongzi to the bottom of the mountain, which shows the change in his attitude. ”

Li Cangxing's face became more and more stern: "Then, after leaving the Black Wood Cliff." Where else have you gone? ”

Liu Qiniang said with a straight face: "Yang Gongzi said that in a few days, it will be the King of Qianning in Yunnan, that is, the prince of Mu Wangfu's time to become an adult. At that time, the leaders of various parts of Yunnan, whether they were the tribal leaders of the Miao people or the military and political officials of the Han people. will go to Muwangfu to congratulate, and we might as well take this opportunity. Establish some kind of relationship with Mu Wangfu. ”

Li Cangxing's brain "buzzed", and Qu Caifeng and Mu Lanxiang's faces also changed greatly, Qu Caifeng said hurriedly: "Later, did you take a carriage over?!" ”

Liu Qiniang doubted: "Hey, how can the young master of the village know?" When we went to the old city of Dali, where Mu Wangfu is located, we temporarily rented a luxurious carriage and parked at the back door of Mu Wangfu. ”

Then Yang Gongzi took out a letter from his arms, asked Liu Ping to take it and handed it to the servant guarding the door, and after a while, sure enough, the prince Mu came out alone, the old village owner asked us to stay away, and the prince Mu also separated the guards and servants, we stood far away, and we couldn't hear what they said. I only saw that after a while, the prince of Mu Wangfu came out in a dress, and after Mu Wang Ye explained a few words to him, the old village owner took us and left, from beginning to end, she and Yang Gongzi never got off the carriage. ”

Li Cangxing's eyes were red, his fists were clenched so that his bones knotted, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, great, it's been a long time, it turns out that this old man in the mountains is actually Yang Shen!" Today's trip is really not in vain, and the mystery of many years is finally about to unfold. Senior Liu, do you know where this Yang Shen is now? ”

Liu Qiniang's brows furrowed slightly: "Later, we left Muwang's Mansion and returned to Kangba, then Yang Shen said that we have arrived here, there is no need to continue to get along, the old village owner and our party are also separated from him, the old village owner later went to Yunnan again, and subdued the rolling dragon village and the buckle tiger pond, I don't know if this matter is related to that Yang Shen, but since then I have not seen Yang Shen, if he has not left the place of exile, he should still be in that Kham town." ”

Li Cangxing nodded, turned his head to Qu Caifeng and said: "Caifeng, the matter should be very clear, that Yang Shen is the old man in the mountains who was looking for Mu Chaobi back then, we don't have to go around in circles with him, go directly to Kangba to find him, I heard that the emperor has not pardoned Yang Shen until now, and even engraved Yang Shen's name on the pillars of the palace, with the words "never pardon", so I think Yang Shen would not dare to leave his exile casually, no matter how much he plays the trick of disguise, he has to leave someone there to wait, let's go, Always grab his handle! ”

Qu Caifeng nodded and let out a sigh: "I can't imagine that there is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it, but I still don't understand a little, that Yang Shen's father and son were all killed by Yan Song, and it is said that they have a deep blood feud with Yan Song, how could they receive Yan Song's letter and come to Yunnan to find this Mu Wangfu?" ”

Li Cangxing gritted his teeth: "Lu Bing said that day that there is no eternal enemy in politics. doesn't have permanent friends, Yan Song may be leaving a way back for himself. After all, the emperor did not directly ask for Yang Tinghe's life, which means that there may be room for things. Xia Yan also once dismissed the official, but later he was still found back, until the emperor found out that Zeng Mo and Xia Mo colluded inside and outside, so maybe Yan Song is a treacherous guy who bets on both ends, on the one hand, he shows loyalty to the emperor, and on the other hand, he secretly befriended Yang Shen, saying that when the time is ripe, he will find a way to let him return to the court, which is very possible. ”

Mu Lanxiang's small mouth pursed: "Senior brother." These officials are all good or bad, after we take revenge this time, I don't want to see their faces again, let's not go back to Wudang Mountain, and save Senior Brother Xu and his father from constantly driving them to do those things they don't want to do. ”

Qu Caifeng laughed and touched Mu Lanxiang's hair: "That is, we people in the rivers and lakes should not seek fame and fortune." Happy enmity, why bother with these officials, sister, I support you. ”

Li Cangxing looked at the two beauties and smiled. With a smile like a flower, the frowning brows that have been frowning can't help but loosen a lot, and today I finally found an important clue. It was not worth the trip, he turned around. was about to thank Liu Qiniang, but suddenly heard a "bang". His face changed, and when he turned around, he saw that Liu Qiniang had fallen to the ground, but there was a dagger stuck in his heart.

Qu Caifeng's smile was still on her face, and she turned into a beautiful eye, and a lunge flew over, helped Liu Qiniang's body, and shouted: "Aunt Seven, what are you doing, what are you doing!" She looked at the knife inserted in Liu Qiniang's heart, it was no longer handled, and blood kept pouring out from the knife, and the three people with high martial arts knew that this situation was that Da Luo Jinxian couldn't save her.

Liu Qiniang's face was already like gold paper, she opened her eyes with difficulty, and said softly: "Young master, old body, old body once made a swear in front of the old village owner, the old village owner, and swore that he would never leak it, leak the things of the year, otherwise, otherwise, you have to be self, self-determination." Let's, we green forest hao, hero, must, we must speak, forgiveness, forgiveness, forgiveness, can't follow, you, you must, well, revitalize us, we Wu, Wushan ......" Speaking of this, her legs kicked and she was already angry.

Qu Caifeng's tears kept falling like beads with broken threads, and he couldn't stop shaking his head and said: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault, you have to force you to talk about what happened back then." ”

Li Cangxing's expression was gloomy, his face was full of apologies, he didn't expect that the process of pursuing the truth would lead to such a result, this Liu Qiniang was very strong, probably because he knew that he was disabled, and he didn't want to drag Qu Caifeng down anymore, so he would make a decision on his own, and he couldn't help but respect this old woman in his heart.

After Qu Caifeng cried for a long time, she wiped her tears, stood up, her nose twitched, and said, "Cangxing, sister, let's go." ”

Li Cangxing shook his head: "Is it just like that?" At least we have to let Senior Liu go to the ground for peace. ”

Qu Caifeng shook his head: "No, our brothers and sisters in the green forest do not pursue burial after death, her soul has already returned to her home in heaven, waiting for us to find her there, and there is no way to bury her in this situation, otherwise it will alarm the villagers here and burn this place on fire, which should be the best ending." ”

Mu Lanxiang also wiped her tears and blinked her eyes: "Sister Qu, is this really okay?" ”

Qu Caifeng's face showed the usual coldness and determination, directly from his arms took out a small bottle of fire oil, poured it on Liu Qiniang's body, and sprinkled some on the spinning wheel and table in the room, as well as on the beams, and then picked up the candlestick on the table and threw it at Liu Qiniang's body, and suddenly a raging flame rose in the room, and her black plump figure came out through the window, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Li Cangxing and Mu Lanxiang glanced at each other, pulled up their face towels, and came out of the window one after another, behind them, the small wooden house had already risen to the sky, and there was an exclamation from the village: "It's water, come quickly, it's the home of the seventh mother-in-law!" ”

The city of Kham at the junction of Yunnan and Sichuan is a fixed point for the exiled prisoners of the Ming Dynasty, this is a small city with only more than 1,000 households, most of them are hereditary military households, although it is called a military tun, but for more than a hundred years, it is also the same as almost all the guards of the Ming Dynasty, the guards have long been unbearable to fight, and can only become the domestic slaves of those hereditary officers, cultivating the military households outside the city for their fields, acting as servants in their families, and living a life that is inferior to cattle and horses for generations, and those prisoners who are in the army here, It will be tragic to take over from these poor military families and become the new members of these generations of slaves.

Luo Yi is the thousand households in this Kham City, there are a total of one thousand and twenty-seven military families in this city, including seven hundred households, that is to say, the other one thousand and twenty military households are all Luo Yi's generation slaves, when he is happy, he will reward those hundreds of households, and when he is unhappy, he will take a few from these hundred households for his own use, it all depends on his mood, sometimes Luo Yi will also feel that the Mu Wangfu in the old city of Dali has nothing to envy, the Ming Dynasty is jealous of this kind of self-respecting prince, and there are many restrictions, But for him such a small thousand households, and in this far place, he will never be embarrassed, the Luo family has been a thousand households in this Kham City for one hundred and twenty-seven years, almost the same as the life span of the Ming Dynasty, living this kind of mountain high emperor far away, I am the life of the law, don't be too comfortable.

Luo Yi is a fat man in his fifties, so fat that it is even a little difficult to breathe, and a rocking chair he sits on is specially made, which is obviously more than twice as thick as an ordinary rocking chair, seven years ago when he was sitting in a rocking chair to enjoy the coolness, he suddenly collapsed the chair, in order to get out of bed for three months, the old Song military head who made the chair was beaten to death, for example, several military households who made chairs behind specially found thick and thick rosewood from the deep mountains and old forests, Luo Yi is lying on this rocking chair, his eyes slightly closed, and he is holding a fine blue and white porcelain bowl in his right hand, which contains sour plum drinks, and the cold and sweet taste lingers on the tip of his nose, driving away the heat of this summer for him.

Luo Yi's other left hand touched the butt of a Miao maid who was standing beside him and gently shaking the fan for him, this low-eyed Miao girl unconsciously moved to the side, not letting him succeed, he opened his eyes and smiled: "Xiao Nizi, there is still some intensity, why don't you come over quickly?!"
