It was late at night, and there was no moon in the night

The crisp autumn wind wrapped in the chill and yellowing of the branches and leaves, swept the ground, silently hitting the blue bricks and tiles of Yuntian City.

At this time, the Yuntian City martial arts arena was crowded with people, shrouded in a field of lanterns and torches.

On the periphery of the martial arts arena were hundreds of soldiers with spears in their hands, and in the center was a group of teenagers who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, a large number, two or three hundred people, all of whom were ordered by Yan Boxi to stand in an orderly formation, although there were many people, but no one dared to talk to each other, let alone other deviant behaviors.

They stared helplessly at Yan Boxi in front of them, their faces were red from the firelight, and it was difficult to distinguish their expressions, only a young man close to the middle of the crowd seemed to be still energetic.

The young man is very thin, the two arms that are not thick are not weak and drooping, but in the shape of a bow, he clenches his fists tightly, his eyebrows and eyes are delicate, especially those eyes, although they are also looking ahead, but they seem to be looking for something, the young man is using a wood-chopping axe to break through Zhao Erzhu's armor Xiao Jiansheng.

At this time, Xiao Jiansheng's bright eyes wandered through the layers of crowds, and it was not until there were two more people in front of the crowd that he frowned and looked over.

One of them was Wei Xiangwu, I saw Wei Xiangwu with one hand behind his back, and the other hand on the hilt of the knife, at this time he woke up early from drinking, and was staring at the Taoist next to him with blazing eyes.

The Taoist looked to be over half a hundred years old, dressed in a purple Taoist robe, wearing a mixed yuan scarf, looking a little sickly, his cheeks were thin, but his eyes were unusually bright, faintly able to overshadow the light of the torches, he first shuttled back and forth in front of this group of young people with light steps, and then came to Wei Xiangwu approached, arched his hand and chuckled: "This time Ziyun appeared in the area of Yuntian City, in order to relieve His Majesty's anxiety, there is General Lao Wei." ”

Wei Xiangwu also bowed his hand and said: "How dare you do this, it is the duty of the general to share the worries for His Majesty, but Liu Zhenren is tired and not advanced along the way, which is really hard." ”

The greetings between the two were not high, and basically only the two of them could hear them.

After a few breaths, Wei Xiangwu made a gesture of please, and saw that Liu Zhenren nodded slightly, and instantly seemed to have changed people, and the purple Taoist robe hunted and hunted between the shifting steps, and came to the front of the crowd in a few steps, with both hands on each other's thumbs, and the Taoist Qiankun seal in his hands, thousands of wisps of qi were emitted from the Taoist body, and he covered more than 200 teenagers with lightning speedIt seemed that at this moment, thousands of pores in their bodies opened at the same time, and countless air currents collided between their bodies.

Wei Xiangwu was able to maintain his composure at first, but as more and more teenagers fainted, large pieces of sweat were already oozing from his forehead.

Although he practiced in the world, he also knew a little bit about the secret methods of Taoist real people, but such exercises as Liu Zhenren Liu Mubai, he had never heard of, and the Yuanyang Qi that burst out at that moment could easily crush him to death, this is still Liu Zhenren considering that these teenagers have a weak physique, and he has reservations, otherwise......

Wei Xiangwu quietly put his hand on the dantian, and only then did he forcibly calm down.

After half a pillar of incense, most of the teenagers had collapsed to the ground, and the others who had not fallen were basically soaked with sweat, among so many teenagers present, only Xiao Jiansheng's face was quite normal, but he didn't know what happened suddenly, Xiao Jiansheng covered his stomach with one hand, and squatted on the ground with a pop.

It was another half-pillar incense time, and Liu Mubai's bulging robe quieted down, and then his eyes were closed and he said the truth: "Scatter"

With the exit of this loose word, these teenagers have lost the feeling of being stripped of their cocoons.

Liu Mubai turned to look at Wei Xiangwu and said in a trembling voice: "Dare to ask General Wei, is there a fish that has slipped through the net?"

"This ......" Facing Liu Mubai's reminder, Wei Xiangwu couldn't answer for a while, so he had to turn around and call Yan Boxi from behind him and ask, "Give General Ben an explanation." ”

Yan Boxi's face was like a blank piece of paper, and he knelt on the ground with a puff and said with a sad face: "I dare to use the head of Xiang as a guarantee, and no one will slip through the net." ”

Wei waved his hand at Wu Chong Yan Boxi, signaling him to retreat first, and then smiled at Liu Mubai and said, "I'm tired of Liu Zhenren, this matter may be strange." ”

Liu Mubai didn't say much, just sighed softly, and then looked at the crowd again unwillingly, and happened to meet Xiao Jiansheng's hot gaze, and the eyes of the two disappeared as soon as they touched.

I don't know how long it has been, and the boy who fainted in the past gradually woke up in the cold of the autumn wind.

Liu Mubai looked up at the sky that had turned from black to gray, and decided to return overnight on the grounds that His Majesty was in a hurry to wait for news, he refused Wei Xiangwu's attention, refused Wei Xiangwu's horse team escort, and even refused Wei Xiangwu's gift of entanglement.

Liu Mubai went on the road alone, with no joy or sadness on his face, but before leaving, he earnestly asked General Wei to treat these teenagers well, and Wei nodded to Wu in response.

Liu Mubai still walked lightly, like a dragonfly pointing to water, but he walked far, far away, and the lights of Yuntian City were already lit up, so he turned his head deeply.

Born at the wrong time, born at the right time

Liu Mubai remembered the young man's eyes that were as clear as water, and his face was full of shock.

Tiangang lit up slightly, and the side of the gate of Yuntian City posted a notice of Douda's peace of mind early, to the effect that Yuntian City is a solid border guard of my Fengtian Dynasty, and the people are diligent and diligent for the good fortune of my Fengtian Dynasty, Yuntian City has resumed the rule of Lord Dong, and the people can enjoy the prosperity and peace of peace, those young people are weak and young and not suitable for military service, and the court will repatriate people to Yunyun in line with the practice of loving the people like children.

In a small mountain village called Nijingkou in the southwest of Yuntian City, the village is very small, at twilight, two thinly dressed teenagers returned to Nijingkou Village hungry, passing through one narrow muddy alley after another, at this time, one of the young men with thick eyebrows and dark face grabbed Xiao Jiansheng's hand, and said with a snot and tears: " Boss, why don't you go back to my house with me, I have a hot kang head, as long as I have a mouthful of Han Jiang, there will be a mouthful of the boss, and now that Lin Er and your grandfather are no longer alive, you will inevitably see things and think after you go back alone. ”

Xiao Jiansheng glanced at the familiar alleyway, the tightly closed wooden door, and then shook his head.

"Boss......" Han Jiang still wanted to say something, he couldn't cry anymore, Xiao Jiansheng didn't look at his face, and then struggled to move Han Jiang's fingers, didn't turn his head back, and walked towards the closed wooden door with heavy steps.

There is a small hill bag called Wabu stunned in the southwest of the mud well mouth, just the day before yesterday, there are two more small soil bags of fresh soil on the hill bag, the soil bag is one large and one small is close to each other, the grass around the soil bag has been yellow, it seems particularly quiet.

In the early morning of this day, as soon as the sky was bright, Xiao Jiansheng appeared on the mountain bag early without sleep all night, carrying some memorial things in his arms, according to the location told by Uncle Liu next door, Xiao Jiansheng quickly found the grave of his sister and grandfather, and after he knelt down, he carefully pulled out the memorial objects in his arms, picked up three rough golden incense sticks with his waist, and inserted his trembling hands into the cracked soil.

It was not until noon that he got up tremblingly and walked down the hill along the road he had come.

The mud well mouth is not big, the total is less than 200 people, the village is mostly elderly, the early years of adulthood have been captured by the government and rushed the township army, they are dead or wounded, it is basically difficult to see the people who come back, the mud well mouth is not rich, it is basically every house with adobe walls, and the slightly more solid people are a few more green tiles on the roof, but the folk customs are simple, and it is a big event that such a big thing happened, in fact, on the day Xiao Jiansheng was arrested, someone has hastily buried his sister and grandfather.

It was another early morning, Xiao Jiansheng quietly pushed open the wooden door, and then quietly closed it, just when he just walked out of the muddy alley, suddenly I don't know from which corner three or four young boys and girls rushed over, as soon as they came out, they blocked Xiao Jiansheng's way and pulled Xiao Jiansheng's arm.

Xiao Jiansheng was stunned for a moment, then looked at the familiar faces that could no longer be familiar, and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm afraid I won't be your boss in the future......"

After a long silence, I saw a girl who might have been in a hurry to go out and didn't have time to tie her braids wiped her tears and said: "Brother Jiansheng, I heard Han Jiang say that you want to avenge Xiao Lin'er and Grandpa, but I heard that they have very sharp weapons in their hands, and they all ride good horses, you will suffer, maybe you will ......"

"Yes, Brother Jiansheng, let's not take revenge, okay?"

After a few people finished speaking, Han Jiang continued: "Boss, we all know that you have brute force, even if a few of us combined, we can't beat you, but those officers and soldiers are all good at kung fu, and there are many people, and the knives in their hands are really ...... very fast."

Before Han Jiang could finish speaking, Xiao Jiansheng directly interrupted him.

"As you all know, when I was eight years old, my adoptive father died, and then I was taken in by my grandfather on the streets, and my grandfather treated me like a grandson, and now he was killed by officers and soldiers for me, how can this revenge not be avenged?"

"But......" Han Jiang didn't continue, and then stomped his foot fiercely and said angrily to the others: "I told you a long time ago, we definitely can't keep the boss, otherwise he won't be our boss." ”

Seeing that Han Jiang turned around, he took out a fist-sized cloth bag from his arms, and then before Xiao Jiansheng could react, Han Jiang had already stuffed the cloth bag into his hand.

"This is a little bit of broken silver that I secretly took out from home, and it's not much than a dozen taels, I want to say that if you avenge Lin Er and grandpa, I can't be with you, I am the only seedling of the old Han family......"

"Brother Jiansheng, this is my father's shirt silver ...... brought back from the front"

"Boss, I don't have these ......"

Xiao Jiansheng didn't excuse himself, nor did he thank him in person, he took these heavy small cloth bags with both hands, turned around and carefully put them into his arms, looked back at the end of the familiar alley, and walked quickly in the direction of the entrance of the village at the mouth of the mud well.
