Chapter 35: The Old Affair of Kinmen
Yun Jin already knew the truth from Yun Zheng. She stood not far from the bed, and saw Mu Dianke quietly leaning on the cushion, her expression calm and cold, with a sense of distance that was difficult to approach, thinking of the scars on her back, the patience of the steel needles without making a sound, and she didn't know what it was like for a while.
Staying, naturally, there is something to say.
It's just that, I don't know how to say it.
In order to be able to get close to the Liu family and break the trapped dragon formation, Mu Dian Ke was willing to endure the piercing pain of steel needles, block martial arts, and give up his life to others, what kind of courage and determination is this?
In other words, what kind of hatred is this?
Yun Jin thought of the day when Mu Dian was humiliated by Liu Xinyuan, she sat in the study, lowered her eyebrows, and said to herself in a cold voice: "Second sister has not experienced that kind of pain, how can she know if it is worth it?" Not to mention a lifetime, even if it is a loss for eternal life and eternity, as long as I can take revenge, it is worth it for me. β
Looking back now, under that seemingly calm tone, there was a lot of surging hatred and killing intent.
persuading her to let go of the Liu family is almost equivalent to an idiot's dream.
Mu Dianke sat quietly for a while, looked up and said, "I'm sorry, I had to lie to you." β
Yun Jin said: "It's right for the girl not to tell me about such a big thing." And I don't want to know. β
Her world was originally clear. Only today did I know that under the clear background, there were so many sharp gray and black lines.
A serious but loving father, a loyal and generous eldest brother, and a seemingly socially friendly eldest sister all have another identity.
Ming Palace? That scimitar, a place full of killings, she never dreamed that one day it would be related to herself.
Mu Dianke smiled faintly and said, "When I first saw you, I envied you. Thinking about being a woman, you have to be as chic and comfortable as you, so that this life is in vain. β
Yun Jin was a little unaccustomed to her old-fashioned style: "If the girl wants, she can do it." β
Since you yearn for it, why not pursue it, why wait for other paths, and then sit here with envy.
Mu Dianke could hear the stiffness in Yun Jin's tone, and said lightly as if he could read people's minds: "Everyone's circumstances are different, and the path they choose is also different. No matter how good and envious others are, after all, they can only look at it and sigh twice. β
"Why do you hate the Liu family so much?"
Yun Zheng said that Mu Dian came to Gusu with a mission. But Yunjin knew that Mu Dian was not just about completing the task.
She really wanted to break the Liu family's trapped dragon array. I really want to ruin the Liu family.
She said: "What I want is the entire Liu family." β
Yun Jin asked again, "What is your true identity?" You won't be an irrelevant person, what is your relationship with the sixth son of Jin and the Jin family in Chang'an? β
The three surnames of Jiangnan turned out to be the culprits of the Jin family, which was the second shock Yunjin received today.
If this is true, there is only one reason why Mu Dian hates the Liu family so much, she is also from Jinmen. It's not like Yun Zheng said, it's just that Jin Yanchen recognized a fake sister who was not related to him in order to hide his identity.
After a long silence, Mu Dianke said: "My mother, surnamed Jin. I'm half of the Kim family. β
The Jin family is the former Chang'an Jin family.
Chang'an Jin used to be the most popular surname in this martial arts.
Jin Zhenyue, the head of the Jin family, that is, the previous leader of the martial arts alliance, is strong in martial arts, sparse in righteousness, and has thousands of diners. With a Xuantie broadsword, he defeated the three major sect masters of the Western Regions Demon Sect into the abyss of Huashan Mountain, and the heroes of the world admired him.
Jin Zhenyue has five sons and three daughters, each of whom has a dragon and a phoenix, and his grandchildren are full of talents, and the family is all beautiful and good. Even an inconspicuous sprinkler in the backyard may be the No. 1 figure in the rivers and lakes when pulled out.
At that time, there were poems: a thunderbolt and five mountain earthquakes, and half of the heroes were in Kinmen.
It can be seen that the Jin family was Xuan He at that time.
Thirteen years ago, the Western Regions Demon Sect united with the Mobei Changle Palace, the Northwest Liangda Arrow Gate, the Blood Killing Banner, and invaded the Central Plains in a big way. Jin Zhenyue led all the martial arts people to fight with all their might, and the Jin family took the lead in this battle, sacrificing the guards who didn't know the family, and the second son of Jin Zhenyue, Jin Erye, Jin Zhuming, also died in the vicious battle with the Demon Sect.
Two years later, the Demon Sect was expelled from Middle-earth, and the Jin clan was greatly damaged in this two-year battle.
At a family banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve, the Jin family was poisoned and assassinated by the remnants of the Demon Sect. There were 381 people in one family, and only the wife and two young sons of Jin Zheyan, the fourth master of Jin, escaped under the escort of Jin Zhenyue's sworn brother Shi Qingtian.
Shi Qingtian escorted the mother and son of the Jin family to escape to the Yellow River crossing, but was caught up by thieves. In a hurry, regardless of the high wind and waves, he forcibly crossed the river.
At that time, in the deep winter of Layue, it was the flood season of the Yellow River, the wind was high and the waves were urgent, Shi Qingtian was under the attention of the chasing soldiers, an artemisia fell into the air, the boat overturned and sank, and he was buried at the bottom of the river. A month later, the body was recovered in the lower reaches of the Yellow River. The corpse was swollen and festering soaked in the muddy river bottom, and the mouth and nose were quicksandy, and the eyes could not bear to look at. If it weren't for Shi Qingtian's physique being different from ordinary people, and his bone fractures, he wouldn't have been able to recognize them at all.
At that time, less than half a year after the destruction of the Jin family, the eighth lady of the Jin family, Jin Lianyin, was still sick in bed, and after hearing the bad news, she dragged her seriously ill body and rushed to the embankment of the Yellow River to identify the body. After recognizing his two nephews, he cried several times until he passed out.
In the second half of the year, Jin Lianyin and Jin Zhige, the fifth lady of Jin Zhige, who married into the Wu family in Kaifeng, were killed in her husband's house. Except for Jin Caimo, the seventh lady who married into the Su family of Jiankang scholars, the Jin family was wiped out.
When the Jin family tragedy occurred, Yun Jin was still young. But because the Jin family's influence in the rivers and lakes has not faded for ten years, she is no stranger to this past.
The people in the rivers and lakes once explained that the Jin family was destroyed by the remnants of the Demon Sect, and Yun Jin did not think deeply about it in the past. Today, after listening to Yun Zheng's words and clarifying the truth, I thought about it carefully, and found that there were many loopholes. The Jin family, which the Demon Sect couldn't help in its heyday, why could it destroy it with just a few remnants?
There must be a helper behind it.
And the planning is so meticulous and thorough, and the slightest rumor does not leave, it can be seen that this person's mind is good and the city is deep.
There is no doubt that Liu Sutian has this ability.
Yun Jin knew that this matter could not be done, but he still stubbornly asked: "Those innocent people of the Liu family, can they really not let go?" β
Mu Dianke said: "Who is innocent and who is guilty?" β
Yun Jin was dumbfounded, and found that he was speechless. Tianji Pavilion evaluated the world's famous swords, listed one hundred on the list, and the Liu family accounted for eleven. Liu Sutian ranked second, Liu Yichen was the seventh sword, Liu Xin was originally the ninth sword, and Liu Shao was the seventeenth sword of the same name. Liu Sutian's eldest brother Liu Changhe is twenty-three, and his second brother Liu Manshan is twenty-six. Qin Momei is sixteen, Liu Changhe's wife Qin Xiangyun is thirty-three, and Liu Sutian's three nephews do not look high in terms of ranking, ranking seventy-eight, seventy-nine and eighty-one respectively. But to be among the top 100 famous swords, they are definitely masters among masters.
When the Jin family was destroyed, Liu Xinyuan and Liu Shao were not very old, but Liu Yichen and his three cousins were adults. The Liu family has always only been outwardly horizontal, united inside, advancing and retreating together, and it is really difficult to say who participated and who did not.
Mu Dianke said lightly: "I think that person must also regret that he didn't start clean enough, so let me and my brother survive." β
Brother and sister have been commensurate for many years, and she has been called Jin Yanchen a brother by others.
Yun Jin's words came to his lips and retreated. Yes, even if Jin Yanchen and Mu Dian are willing to let it go, how can those surviving Liu family members be willing to give up?
"When is the time for retribution?"
Mu Dian laughed for a moment, his smile was spicy, full of self-deprecation: "That is the enlightenment of those who participate in Zen and enlightenment." I'm a dead person going to hell and don't care about that. β
"What if I have to stop you?"
"As long as you can do it."
As long as you can do it, it means you can't do it.
Yun Jin of course believed that Mu Dian had the confidence to say this. But she resolutely turned around and walked out. As she herself said, doing it knowing that she can't do it is bloody, and she can't lose her backbone and pride.
Mu Dianke leaned on the head of the bed and quietly looked out the window at the boundless rain curtain. She remembered that once upon a time, she was like Yun Jin, thinking that as long as she wanted, she could do anything.
It would be nice if people could continue to be so brave and naΓ―ve.
