Chapter 31: The Villa (1)
Xu Kaiyang's original surname was Xu, and he was from the same family as Xu Jingrong, and their ancestors were famous generals in the Northern Dynasty.
However, like the relationship between Bai Tingyao and Bai Pengzhen, although there are some relatives, they are not very close, and they have never even seen Xu Jingrong's face.
More than ten years ago, the Nanfu Kingdom entered the Northern Dynasty, the Xu family, as the general of the Northern Dynasty, refused to surrender, and Xu Jingrong's uncle faced a heavy siege on the battlefield, and even killed himself.
At this time, Bai Feizhen led the Tianheng Dao Sect and the various sects in the martial arts to defect to the Nanfu Kingdom.
There is a saying that goes like this, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, in the past, the Xu family was high in the Northern Dynasty and had a prominent reputation, but Bai Feizhen was like a rat crossing the street, being ridiculed and teased wantonly, at that time, Bai Feizhen was in front of the Xu family, it is estimated that they will feel insulted when they lift their shoes, once they stood in the wrong camp, their status was reversed, and the situation changed dramatically.
After all, in the hearts of the people of the Northern Dynasties, the Xu family was loyal and good generals, and even the emperors of the Nanfu Kingdom admired them as iron-clad and upright gentlemen, but due to the existence of the Xu family, some people in the Northern Dynasties learned from the style of the Xu family, and would rather die than surrender, and also recruited troops and horses outside under the banner of the Xu family, trying to restore the Northern Dynasty and drive the people of the Nanfu Kingdom out of their Zhonglu Shenzhou.
This is a very unfavorable situation for the Nanfu State, whose foundation is not stable and is waiting to be rebuilt.
However, if it is said that he killed those Xu family members, there are also many unfavorable factors.
First, the people of Nanfu were not warlike, and even extremely disgusted with fighting, even after entering the Northern Dynasty, they also adopted the policy of Huairen, wanting to influence those old people of the Northern Dynasty.
If the Xu family was killed at that time, the old people of the Northern Dynasty would have a sense of resistance, and even rebelled against the invasion of the Nanfu State, not to mention that even the natives of the Nanfu State would have a lot of complaints.
In order to solve this matter, the emperor of Nanfu sent many important ministers to persuade him to surrender, coercion and temptation, and used all kinds of means.
At this moment, Bai Fei really came forward.
As smart as he is, he can naturally see at a glance where the emperor of Nanfu Kingdom is entangled, so he asked the emperor for his life, saying that he would help him solve the problems of the Xu family, and the way he solved the problem was to take the people of Tianheng Dao Sect to exterminate the Xu family.
Once a shocking change, the disaster affected the nine tribes, from the old man who couldn't even walk steadily, to the baby who was still swaddling, all of them were spared.
Even Xu Kaiyang, a distant relative who has a little kinship with the Xu family, was hunted down and killed by the people of Tianheng Dao Sect, and he was bound to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
The whole family of the Xu family suffered, and the person who killed them was the old Tianheng Daozong of the Northern Dynasty, no matter how indignant and dissatisfied the people of the Northern Dynasty were, they could not put the fault on the head of the Nanfu State.
And Bai Feizhen, because he solved the great trouble for the emperor of Nanfu State, and carried a lot of infamy for the imperial court, the emperor felt guilty, and since then, he has been on the rise and has paid more attention to him.
Hearing this, I suddenly understood why Xu Jingrong would slash the gate of heaven with a sword on the top of Kunlun Mountain, and would rather die without a corpse than prevent Bai Feizhen from soaring into an immortal.
The old dynasty fell, still refusing to surrender, the Xu family's approach may be a little stubborn and pedantic, but it can also be regarded as loyal to the country, no matter what, the punishment of exterminating people is too heavy, and the cultivator who has become an immortal has compassion in his heart, and even the life of an ant passing by must be cared for, like Bai Feizhen, who has blood on his hands and carries countless human lives on his body, how can He De be able to open the gate of heaven and ascend?
I think I really looked away at Bai Peng, I saw him ordering the cook to cook for me, and I was considerate of all kinds of maintenance, and I thought he was a righteous gentleman, but I didn't expect him to be so vicious.
In the face of Xu Kaiyang's accusations, Bai Feizhen was silent for a moment and said: "The Xu family is a traitor, and he is a traitor who confuses the public with his fallacies and tries to disturb the hearts of the people of my Nanfu, and he should be punished. ”
Xu Kaiyang sighed sadly and counterattacked: "At that time, the Xu family was imprisoned in the prison and did not see the light of day, where did they get the ability to bewitch the people and disturb the people's hearts?" Besides, my father and mother were just grass people, who hid in the mountains all the year round and farmed, and they didn't even know about the change of dynasty, so why did you even kill them? ”
"In my opinion......"
The sword pointed at Bai Feizhen, and his fingers trembled due to excitement and anger: "It is clear that after you defected to Nanfu Kingdom, I was afraid that the Dog Emperor of Nanfu Kingdom would suspect that you had different intentions and were anxious to flatter the new dynasty before sacrificing our Xu family, right?" ”
"Shut ...... up"
In the face of the accusation, Bai Fei really couldn't hold his face, and became angry: "The Xu family is a traitor, and now you dare to be rampant, do you want to rebel?" ”
The surrounding guests who came to the banquet were silent, and the people who usually flattered Bai Feizhen and Tianheng Dao Sect actually kept silent, I thought it was strange, after all, this was a good time for them to curry favor with Bai Feizhen and show their loyalty.
But I noticed the look on their faces, and there was a sad look in their solemnity, and I suddenly realized that the so-called slander and flattery are just for survival, but life in this world, as long as there is a little conscience, it is not just for survival.
In the war between Nanfu and the Northern Dynasties, they chose to betray their homeland and help Nanfu because the emperor of the Northern Dynasty was mediocre, which made the people miserable, and among Bai Feizhen and the Xu family, they were obviously inclined to the latter.
If it is not a last resort, no one will easily betray their homeland and support foreign enemies, but what they can't do, some people have done it.
Using the lives of his entire clan to protect the Central Continent Shenzhou, the last dignity of the Northern Dynasties, let them not lose too ugly even if they lose.
This is a great righteousness, not to mention these old people of the Northern Dynasties, even if they are people from the Southern Kingdom, they can't help but be moved and admired when they mention this matter.
The matter of the Xu family, what Bai Fei really did was indeed immoral, if he didn't mention it, everyone would usually be hindered by the power of the Tianheng Dao Sect, even if they complained, they would not show it.
But now being taken out by the descendants of the Xu family is like cutting a knife between the Tianheng Dao Sect and the various factions, making the alliance relationship that was originally maintained only by interests even more centrifugal and fragile.
Bai Feizhen also understands this.
So he was anxious to stabilize people's hearts and make himself look right: "This sect is doing this for the sake of the people and the court, and it is your Xu family who does not know how to raise the blame for yourself." ”
"A good one for the people, for the court......"
Xu Kaiyang sneered: "I have evidence, when the prince of Kangding learned about the Xu family, he intended to persuade the emperor to exile the Xu family, but the emperor's will has not yet been issued, and your Tianheng Daozong has killed our Xu family, because Tianheng Daozong acted hastily and killed the Xu family, the emperor and the court of Nanfu have been criticized over the years, although the people know that it is Tianheng Daozong who has been killed, but they also know that Tianheng Daozong obeys the emperor's orders, Bai Zongzong is so smart, this kind of thing will not be unknown, right?" Knowing this, he still insisted on killing the Xu family and paving the way for his own future, Sect Master Bai dared to say that he was loyal to the Nanfu Kingdom, in your heart, the subjects and the people were better than your own splendid future? ”
I think that this Xu Kaiyang is really smart, in such a chaotic and angry situation, he can still keep such a cool head, and fight back against Bai Feizhen's words, which can be called deadly.
At the same time, I was a little puzzled in my heart, why did the prince of Kangding of Nanfu Kingdom, the father of the little marquis Li Dongyang, choose to protect the Xu family in such a tense situation?
Since entering Luohe City, the name Li Dongyang has constantly appeared in my ears, and I have heard about his deeds from different people, but I don't know what kind of person he is.
Bai Fei Zhenliang couldn't speak for a long time, his face was blue, and when he saw that the guests around him were whispering, he could only stop drinking, drew his sword, and pointed at Xu Kaiyang and said: "Today's wedding banquet for my brother-in-law's family, this sect doesn't want to cause more trouble, and spoil the interest of my sister and you, but this Xu family's traitor and thief bewitches the public, and deceives people too much, if you don't eradicate it, I am afraid that it will leave a curse. ”
He wanted to kill Xu Kaiyang, among the sword moves, every move was aimed at Xu Kaiyang's lifeline, Xu Kaiyang had not been in Kunlun for many years, the foundation of his cultivation was still shallow, and he had been injured by the Tianshu sword before, and gradually he was not an opponent, he was injured by Bai Feizhen, flew out upside down, fell to the ground and spit out a mouthful of blood, seeing Bai Feizhen's long sword fall on him, Xu Kaiyang showed a successful smile.
I knew what he was proud of, so I felt a little guilty.
Sure enough, Xu Kaiyang covered his heart and said: "Bai Feizhen, you have always been scheming, you didn't even think that I still had a backhand, otherwise, with my cultivation, knowing that it is not your opponent, how could you come to Folding Sword Villa to throw yourself into the net?" ”
Bai Feizhen's sword momentum that was about to stab at Xu Kaiyang suddenly retracted, fell to the ground, and his face changed slightly, and asked, "What did you do?" ”
Xu Kaiyang snorted again and said, "From the fact that I have those things that Uncle Liu has in my hands, you should know that I am not alone, and in a few moments, here, the Folding Sword Villa, and your Tianheng Dao Sect will be wiped out." ”
I think Xu Kaiyang is a little blinded by hatred, Bai Feizhen has a grudge against him, he wants to find Bai Feizhen to take revenge, it's nothing, the key is that there are so many innocent people in Folding Sword Villa, these guests who came to congratulate him, and the people in Folding Sword Villa are innocent after all, in order to kill Bai Feizhen alone, they died together, so ruthless, what is the difference between Bai Feizhen and Bai Feizhen's killing of the Xu family back then?
Fortunately, Rhubarb ruined all of Xu Kaiyang's arrangements, otherwise I don't know how many people would die in this banquet in Folding Sword Villa.
Realizing what Xu Kaiyang had done, the people around him suddenly became a mess and wanted to pack up their things and evacuate before the explosion happened.
Xu Kaiyang struggled to stand up, putting on an awe-inspiring appearance, but a long time passed, the expected explosion did not happen, Xu Kaiyang's face began to panic, and the guests around him who were in a hurry to run away also stopped.
"Impossible, I ...... it"
Xu Kaiyang held back his expression, still convinced: "Those people may be delayed by the matter, you wait, there will be an explosion here soon, and the entire Folding Sword Villa will be razed to the ground." ”
Bai Feizhen held the sword and stood quietly in place, but after waiting for a long time, he still didn't hear any movement.
"Impossible, impossible ......"
Xu Kaiyang finally panicked and began to defend himself: "It is rainy in Qiyang, and the explosives were a little damp when they were transported to Folding Sword Villa, so they ...... immediately If I count to three, I'm going to explode! ”
A cool breeze blew, two leaves swept through the air, and the voices in the Folding Sword Villa were silent, but there was still no sound.
I looked at Rhubarb, who looked indifferent, as if everything in front of me had nothing to do with me.
Seeing that the explosion did not happen, Bai Fei Zhencai finally regained his previous anger: "The Xu family's traitor, if you dare to bewitch the people and disturb people's hearts, this sect will kill you immediately!" ”
