Chapter 55: The Southern Condor and the Northern Demon Lord (The Third Recommendation Vote)
Huainan is a famous place since ancient times.
It is known as "the throat of Zhongzhou, the barrier of the south of the Yangtze River".
However, the world knows Huainan, more from Yan Zi's famous saying - "orange is born in Huainan is orange, orange is born in Huaibei, and orange is born in Huaibei." β
Huainan is close to the south of the Yangtze River, although it is not as beautiful as Yangzhou, but it is also quite prosperous.
On this day, a young man dressed in white came into the city with a large gun on his back.
This person is none other than Ye Jun.
More than ten days ago, he chased and killed thousands of Jin State cavalry alone.
In the end, the other party fled back with hundreds of people.
However, such a record is also rare in ancient times.
After entering the city, a man came up with a large gun on his back.
The two walked close by, and the man shook his head slightly and sneered.
Ye Jun didn't know why, and then, his face became more and more strange.
Because, in the city, there are not a few people who carry big guns like this.
It's just that some people are wearing red shirts, and some people are wearing black shirts.
Ye Jun's expression flashed with a hint of strangeness, and he immediately found a restaurant on the side of the street at random.
The shopkeeper came up to greet him, Ye Jun asked for a pot of wine, and a few good dishes, leaning on the railing of the building to pour himself a drink, while looking at the street, from time to time flashed the figure with a big gun on his back.
In the restaurant, the sound of customers talking came to my ears.
"Ladies and gentlemen, as you know, there have been two major events recently! It shook the world! β
"Oh...... Hu Laosan, I came from the south, but I heard of a strange thing, how did you come here, there are two big things? You have to talk about it, and if the brother is not satisfied, you have to punish him for drinking. β
The man named Hu Laosan was a middle-aged man, patting his chest and saying: "That is, I, Hu Laosan, go south and north, and I am well-informed, but these two major events, I have really never heard of them since ancient times." β
Everyone became interested and shouted, "Speak quickly!" If that's right, we've got you covered! β
Hu Laosan laughed "hey" and said, "Let's talk about a major event that happened in the north first-King Jin Wanyan Honglie died, you know!" β
"Jin Guo has already issued a funeral and announced it to the world, and everyone knows about it...... Something strange you say! "Someone is impatient.
Hu Laosan didn't care, took a sip of the wine glass, and then said slowly: "Then do you know who killed King Jin Wanyan Honglie?" β
Everyone shook their heads and said, "It's not clear, but Wanyan Honglie, as the Golden King, has a lot of defense, who can kill him?" β
"Of course ordinary people can't kill the prince. But I'm not talking about this, it's not human! β
"Hu Laosan, have you drunk too much, is it possible, can you still be a ghost who killed Yan Honglie?" Someone scoffed.
"It's not a human, it's not a ghost! It's magic! β
Hu Laosan said with a look of affection: "What I saw with my own eyes that day, that demon came out of hell, covered in blood-red flames, and after killing Yan Honglie, he killed 3,000 cavalry of the Jin Kingdom!" Hundreds of miles of ground were stained red, and corpses were everywhere. β
Everyone expressed their disbelief, how could anyone kill thousands of cavalry by himself?
Hu Laosan snorted coldly: "Don't believe it, that day, the "demon" chased and killed thousands of cavalry, but many people saw it. We also heard the people of Jin call him 'Demon King'. β
In fact, on that day, the people of Jin Guo shouted Ye Jun, but others heard it and was dressed as a "demon king"
As he spoke, Hu Laosan pointed to Ye Jun in the corner and said, "Look at him......"
Everyone looked.
Ye Jun raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, could it be that he was recognized? That day, he chased and killed the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom, and it was indeed seen by many people, and it was not unusual for him to be recognized.
Who knows, Hu Laosan showed a trace of ridicule on his face, and sneered: "It's another guy who is imitating the Demon Lord's pretense." β
After a pause, Hu Laosan continued: "You must have seen a lot of people carrying big guns like this when you entered the city today, right? Do you know why? It's because, of course, the demon lord who chased and killed the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom used a big gun. It's just that this guy doesn't look like him, how can a character like the Demon Lord wear white? That's what the rich boy wears! β
Ye Jun was speechless for a moment.
Wearing white clothes by yourself, you don't feel like yourself anymore?
However, he killed too many people that day, and his white clothes had long been dyed blood, and he couldn't see the original color clearly. This is a fortunate thing, otherwise, this street would be full of people dressed in white and carrying big guns.
Someone shouted: "Whether the Demon Lord is true or not, however, the death of the King of Jin and the death of the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom are real." Except for Grandpa Yue Fei back then, I haven't heard such happy news for decades, and I should be a big deal! I've wrapped ...... of your wine today."
Everyone laughed and thanked them.
"Hu Laosan, let's talk about the second strange thing!" Someone urged.
At this time, Hu Laosan sold Guanzi, until someone else helped him add a pot of wine and ordered a few good dishes, and then he said slowly.
It turned out that not long ago, a sacred bird appeared in the south.
The mythical bird is bigger than a human, understands human nature, and is good at drinking.
I don't know how many people are happy to see the hunt and want to catch the sacred bird.
However, the divine bird is a divine bird after all, it knows how to resist the wind, and with a wave of its wings, those people are fanned out.
Many dignitaries, princes and nobles, have been rewarded heavily, as long as they can catch the sacred bird, they will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver.
This matter has been spread in the south of the Yangtze River, and I don't know how many people rushed to see it.
In the end, Hu Laosan sighed slightly, and said: "There will be a brave man under the heavy reward, I don't know if the divine bird is still there, if it is caught, it is really a sin!" β
At that moment, a large hand was around his neck.
Immediately after, a cold voice sounded:
"The divine bird you are talking about, is it sparse and scattered all over its body, as if it has been plucked out by someone, its fur is yellow and black, it looks very dirty, the eagle fishing mouth is curved, and there is a blood-red sarcoma on the top of its head?"
The person who spoke was none other than Ye Jun.
As soon as he heard the description, he guessed that the divine bird that Hu Laosan said was very likely to be the divine eagle.
"Yes...... That's right......" Hu Laosan could barely breathe, and his eyes were about to roll.
"Thank you! This ingot of gold is a drink to make amends! β
Ye Jun let go of Hu Laosan, put down a gold ingot, and disappeared in an instant.
Everyone exclaimed as if they had seen a ghost.
Hu Laosan breathed for a long time before he recovered, and at the same time, he was extremely shocked in his heart.
How could this voice be so similar to the "Demon Lord" he heard chasing and killing Jin Bing that day?
Moreover, such means come and go without a trace......
"The Demon Lordβhe's the Demon Lord!"
Hu Laosan reacted and shouted.
"What? He's the Demon Lord? β
"How is it possible, the Demon Lord is so young?"
"It's not wrong, he's the Demon King, I saw him chasing and killing Jin Bing with my own eyes that day, and I won't admit his voice!"
Hu Laosan went straight to the door, but on the street, how could he still find Ye Jun's figure?
