"I didn't expect this layer ......," the old man suddenly spoke, muttering slightly. The woman looked at him fixedly.

"What did you say, ......?"

"That was a long time ago, and I just thought it was weird. But it's not about me, so I haven't looked into it. Now that I think about it, I wonder what kind of connection there is. The old man narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had fallen into a deep memory, "Does Shenjun still remember the case of the Su clan in Zhenjiang twelve years ago?" ”

"Su's Destruction Case......," the woman muttered, "naturally I remember that it was the first time that a large-scale murder was openly committed within the jurisdiction of the imperial court since the founding of the Tail Sect 200 years ago. Since then, the Tail religion has become more and more rampant, and it has gradually infiltrated the North and South dynasties. At that time, at the beginning of the founding of the Northern Sect, it could not compete with the forces of the Tail Sect, which must have been the reason why the Tail Sect chose to commit crimes in Zhenjiang in the territory of the Hearts Country. And the Southern Desert, which has gone through thousands of years of wind and rain, has also suffered a great loss of national strength due to the hard fight with the North Heart for more than ten years, and can only be taken advantage of by the Jianghu sects such as the Tail Sect. Twelve years have passed. The two dynasties of the north and the south recuperated, the border was demarcated and peaceful, and the national strength was gradually restored. However, the forces of the Tail Sect have long been deeply rooted in the two dynasties, and they are intertwined and cannot be disintegrated. Now the power of the Tail Sect in the court regime has reached the point where it is unstoppable to kill high-ranking officials and generals at will. From conscription and taxation to the transfer of officials, it is necessary to obtain the tacit permission of a Jianghu sect to act......"

"What the Divine King said is very true. In the past ten years, the tail religion has developed so rapidly that it now swallows all the large and small sects in the rivers and lakes, and also has such an unshakable foundation in the northern and southern dynasties. The reason for this is that the Su family extermination case is the beginning of all this. It's just that although the shocking case is known to the world, there are very few people who know the specific details in it. At that time, Rong'er was still a drooping child, and I could only briefly inform Shenjun of the current situation through Xinying. So I'm afraid that even you don't know what happened back then. ”

The old man trembled and took a deep breath and closed his eyes slightly.

Twelve years ago, the two banner masters of Chiyan and Gangfeng received instructions from the sect leader at the same time to slaughter the silk merchants of Zhenjiang in the north of the country. This matter had nothing to do with me, but an hour behind the two banners, the sect leader issued a secret edict to me, and immediately set off to follow the two to Zhenjiang. And I was given a bag of advice, and told me to untie it when I arrived at the Su family's mansion and follow the instructions in the bag. At that time, I felt strange, what kind of big thing was it, it was not enough for the two main flag masters to deal with it, and there was even an additional flag master to open up the water. But even if I had doubts, I could only be ordered to leave immediately. When I arrived at the Su family's mansion in Zhenjiang, the scene I saw at that time was really unforgettable for my life......

The old man's closed eyelids trembled slightly, as if recalling the most cruel and unbearable past that he didn't want to look back on, "The Su family's mansion was burning with a raging fire, reflecting half of the sky of Zhenjiang in the dark night. The Su family is a large silk family, and makes a living by selling export silk all the year round, and has a great reputation in Zhenjiang. The family was densely populated, and there were countless female embroiderers and weavers, all of whom had died under the fire and the two banner masters. However, what shocked me the most was not the countless corpses in front of me, but the two flag owners, who... They ......"

The old man's voice became softer and more trembling as he spoke, until at last he seemed to be unable to bear the pain of the past. He lowered his head and said no more. The woman frowned slightly, with infinite pity in her eyes, but she also knew that there was no comfort, so she could only sort out her thoughts and continue to speak.

"They...... How is it? ”

"They were all badly wounded, and drew their swords against each other... Fight to the death. ”

The old man took a deep breath, "At that time, the name of the Gangfeng Banner was Bai Sha Yu, and the people of the rivers and lakes were called Yu Xi Heavenly King. And the Red Flame Banner Lord is just a little girl who has just taken office, and even I don't know very well about her origins. But I saw that the kid made every move, all of them were sharp and fast, and he didn't lose the Qingsui Pull Sword of Bai Qiyu at all, and even made a killing move, which was superior. I was stunned, but I didn't forget the sect leader's order to unpack the bag and check the task. But I saw that there were only eight words written on the note in the bag - water leads to fire and burns the headwind. ”

The woman's color changed suddenly, and her wide-open eyes were overflowing with shock, "You mean, Suzaku wants you to help the girl of the Red Flame Banner and hunt the Yuxi Heavenly King of the Gangfeng Banner together?" ”

"Not bad. The Tail Sect has always had clear rules and strict precepts. The five banner masters are all directly under the orders of the sect leader and are not allowed to have personal relationships. Although I am not familiar with Bai Shayu, but I also know that this person is under the command of Gangfeng and a banner of dead soldiers all over the world, for the tail sect will collect information from the Jianghu court to the Lingguang Mountain tail sect main altar, his person is extremely strong in martial arts, old and ruthless, is a very good master of the sacred heart of the sect of the old man, never heard of apostasy. Where did the sect leader get a little girl with such old and spicy martial arts to kill his right-hand man for many years? ”

"So, you ......"

"Even though I have doubts in my heart, I must carry out the fatwa...... I hid in the shadows and watched the battle. But I saw that although the little girl was ruthless, she didn't have much actual combat experience. In addition, the godless weapon competes with the sword, and the hundred moves are removed, but it gradually loses. I had no choice but to take action, taking advantage of Bai Qiyu's fierce attack on Qingsui, and released the quenching weapon. Bai Chayu was hit, and immediately slowed down, and for a while, his qi and blood surged and broke his wind control technique. The girl immediately noticed it and stabbed her throat with a sword...... Killed Bai Sha Yu. ”

The old man was silent, and the valley returned to dead silence for a while. Only the rest of the two were in a turbulent mood and couldn't calm down for a long time.......
