Chapter 48: Narrowly Lost His Life in the Mountains

In the early morning, all parts of the city were still relatively quiet, only Liu Ruotian and Mei Yuchen had already left the inn, preparing to sneak out of the city and take refuge elsewhere for a while.

Unexpectedly, the two were just about to leave the city, but they were caught by Mei Jiaxing, who came uninvited. Mei Jiaxing came here for nothing else, just to go out of the city with them to have a while.

In addition, Mei Jiaxing also brought Liu Ruotian a sword of Liu Xinyu. said that if Liu Ruotian didn't want to go home for the time being, he could go out for a walk, and there was no need to always hide from his family. When you go out, be careful in everything, and you should have a decent weapon to defend yourself.

At this time, Liu Ruotian looked at Mei Jiaxing blankly in the corner of the wall, and for a while he was so angry that he was speechless.

Liu Xinyu's saber has been with him for more than ten years, and everyone in Chang'an City who has intersected with it knows this sword.

Now, Liu Xinyu asked Mei Jiaxing to come here, apparently for the sake of his own safety, but in fact, it was to let the people along the way know people with swords.

As soon as the defenders of the city saw this, they categorically refused to allow the three of them to leave the city. Mei Jiaxing was obviously being used this time, but he didn't know it.

Despite this, Liu Ruotian decided to take a desperate gamble. Unfortunately, despite their preparations, they were able to find a flaw at the gates.

Seeing this, Liu Ruotian simply didn't do anything, even if he shot and injured dozens of officers and soldiers, and then the three of them ran away.

Unexpectedly, the people who came later actually chased after them, and they chased them for more than 70 miles in one go, and they had no choice but to stop until the three disappeared.

There is a way to panic, Liu Ruotian and others accidentally entered a deep mountain with steep terrain because they were anxious to deal with people from all walks of life, and almost lost their lives because of it.

At the peak of "Qiling Mountain", which is located more than 70 miles east of Chang'an City, stands a magnificent "Xiyue Pavilion".

This pavilion is located in the central part of Qiling Mountain, surrounded by mountains on three sides, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The scenery here is beautiful and outstanding, like a fairyland that makes people forget to return.

Liu Ruotian and others were trapped in the mountains for several days, already exhausted. Because the Xiyue Pavilion was on a higher terrain and it was obvious, they walked straight in the direction in which the attic appeared, wanting to seek a glimmer of life.

Unexpectedly, the three of them finally entered the realm of Xiyue Pavilion, and they were stunned by several secret sentinels who regarded them as secret agents of the imperial court.

When they woke up again, they were bound to three stone pillars in a secret room, unable to move.

Because the stakes were so high, that person didn't dare to make decisions on his own, so he secretly reported the matter to Kong Fanjin, the current pavilion master of Xiyue Pavilion.

After Kong Fanjin learned of this, he did not dare to slack off, and immediately went to the secret room with him to interrogate them personally.

Liu Ruotian and the Mei family sisters and brothers had already become delirious because they had been trapped in the mountains for several days, and the three of them starved for a long time after being arrested for no reason, their condition was even more not optimistic.

At this moment, Kong Fanjin pushed open the door domineeringly.

The powerful air currents generated when the door opened quickly rolled up the dirt on the ground, making the air a little choking in the area.

The door of the originally extremely dim secret room suddenly opened, and the dazzling sunlight shone on Liu Ruotian's face, shaking him so much that he couldn't open his eyes.

As Kong Fanjin's footsteps continued to approach, bright candles were quietly lit on the walls around the secret room.

Fortunately, Liu Ruotian, who had a better physical fitness, still had a little consciousness at the moment, so he raised his head with difficulty and looked at the appearance of the person who came.

The man was about forty years old, with clear eyebrows and an extraordinary look and an extremely serious facial expression.

A pair of sharp and bright eyes seem to be able to see everything, and people can't help but be afraid.

A golden satin robe was worn on his body, and a delicate white jade belt was tied around his waist, which was so radiant and bright.

Kong Fanjin saw that the three of them were so hungry that their faces were yellow and lifeless, so he immediately ordered someone to feed them, while he himself chose to sit quietly while drinking tea and waiting.

When they were young, the physical strength and consciousness of the three of them had gradually recovered. At this moment, Kong Fanjin's pot of tea was almost finished. So he slowly stood up, and then came to the front of the three of them and carefully observed them for a long time.

I saw Kong Fanjin come to Liu Ruotian with a solemn expression, and then he quickly took out a sharp dagger and put it in front of Liu Ruotian's heart. Then he asked him with an extremely serious expression what his identity was and what the three of them wanted to come here.

Seeing this, the Mei family sisters and brothers immediately turned pale with fright, and immediately tried their best to stop Kong Fanjin's excesses.

Mei Jiaxing almost told Liu Ruotian's true identity in a hurry, but fortunately, Liu Ruotian reacted quickly and stopped it in time, which made Kong Fanjin only hear the word "Liu".

This surname was all too familiar to Kong Fanjin, so he opened his eyes and carefully observed Liu Ruotian's appearance, and couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, and then gradually put down the dagger in his hand. Seeing that the situation had eased, everyone was relieved.

At this moment, Kong Fanjin suddenly found an old man's thing among the entourage of Liu Ruotian and others, that is, Liu Xinyu's saber.

Fortunately, Kong Fanjin was thoughtful, otherwise, he almost killed his benefactor's son by mistake and caused a catastrophe. And the fundamental source of all this happening has to start with Kong Fanjin's tragic experience.

It turned out that just a few years ago, Kong Fanjin was still living a harmonious and happy life with his family in the countryside.

However, overnight, all this ceased to exist, because he offended a person who should not be offended the most - Qiu Pengyun.

Kong Fanjin and Qiu Pengyun were originally fellow villagers, and their relationship with each other was not bad. However, since Qiu Pengyun won official high school, he rarely returned to his hometown, so the relationship between the two began to fade day by day.

Because Qiu Pengyun has repeatedly secretly communicated with the local tyrants and powerful people to bully and dominate the market after becoming an official, many villagers cannot live normally at all, and it can even be said that they are struggling.

Seeing that the people of his fellow villagers were living so hard, Kong Fanjin, who had clear grievances, couldn't stand it anymore, so he resolutely decided to secretly go to Beijing with several prestigious fellow villagers to jointly report Qiu Pengyun's evil deeds. Unexpectedly, before this matter began, Kong Fanjin and the others were betrayed by the renegades among them.

When Qiu Pengyun learned of this, he was shocked and annoyed, and he didn't expect his former friend to want to assassinate him this time.

There is a way to strike first, and Qiu Pengyun, who was furious, immediately decided not to do anything, and simply killed them.

But there is no impermeable wall in the world, and Qiu Pengyun's intention to kill people was actually listened to by Liu Xinyu's eyeliner placed beside him.

However, even though Eyeliner informed Liu Xinyu of the situation in time, they were still a step too late.

Except for Kong Fanjin, who was rescued by Liu Xinyu, no one else was spared, including Kong Fanjin's family.

After the situation subsided, Kong Fanjin, who was fortunate to survive, hid in this deep mountain under Liu Xinyu's secret arrangement.

But according to Kong Fanjin's strong and unyielding character in the past, he will never sink here. If there is revenge, there will be revenge, and if there is kindness, he will also be avenged, and he has never changed in this regard.

So Kong Fanjin, with the secret assistance of a group of friends, relied on his tenacity and perseverance, and then gradually built a large-scale Xiyue Pavilion in this inaccessible Qiling Mountain.

After the completion of the Xiyue Pavilion, Kong Fanjin secretly summoned chivalrous people from all walks of life to vigorously develop his own power.

Most of the people who can enter Xiyue Pavilion are people who have some kung fu and have a deep blood feud with the government and the imperial court, and there are almost no people who are greedy for life and afraid of death.

Kong Fanjin, from yesterday's obscure rural people, to today's martial arts overlord. During this period, how much wind, frost, rain and snow he endured was baptized and tempered, I am afraid that only he could understand.

Since its establishment, Xiyue Pavilion has had hundreds of members of all colors, and the relevant system has been relatively perfect. Not only is there a distinctive pale blue cloth with a uniform dress lined with white dark flowers, but most of the pavilion is also densely packed with hidden passages.

Because Xiyue Pavilion has always been cautious and belongs to the rivers and lakes, the imperial court has turned a blind eye to some things.

But after all, most of the things that Xiyue Pavilion did were not conducive to some people's promotion and wealth, and even endangered their net worth, so this kind of person secretly installed some cronies in Xiyue Pavilion.

In this way, we can not only guard against the unexpected, but also better seize the opportunity to cooperate with the outside and the outside, and then completely eradicate the Xiyue Pavilion and never suffer in the future.

This time, Liu Ruotian and others were arrested as secret agents, not out of nowhere, but because Kong Fanjin had preliminarily locked up several suspects after careful observation for a long time.

Because Kong Fanjin was about to launch a long-planned assassination operation in a few days, he had to remove as many hidden dangers as possible that could lead to the failure of the operation before that, just in case. Therefore, Xiyue Pavilion is now in a special period, so it is inevitable that Liu Ruotian and them will suffer some hardships.

When Kong Fanjin learned that Liu Ruotian was the son of the deceased, he immediately released them all, as if they were guests.

But in case of accidents, he did not explain his special relationship with Liu Xinyu to the three of them, only that it was a misunderstanding caused by the incompetence of his subordinates.

Although Kong Fanjin has been trying his best to hide the truth of the matter, Liu Ruotian believes that this matter is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface.

So after nightfall, Liu Ruotian secretly sneaked into Kong Fanjin's residence to find out.

But because of the heavy security here, Liu Ruotian came here for the first time, and he was not familiar with the place, so he did not hear any valuable information.

He only saw that Kong Fanjin's room was still brightly lit until late at night, and people came and went from time to time, so he thought that he was planning something big.

Seeing that things were almost no progress, Liu Ruotian wanted to go back to his room to rest, but he saw a person sneakily looking around.

Seeing this, Liu Ruotian felt that there was something strange about this matter, so he decided to secretly follow this person to see what he wanted.

Liu Ruotian followed the man all the way to a secluded mountain col and saw him whispering to a man who covered his face with a black cloth.

Although Liu Ruotian stayed away from the two of them for fear of exposing himself, he could barely hear the voice of that person, who seemed to be the wind.

At this moment, Liu Ruotian, who is extremely smart, is keenly aware that most of these two people are planning something to hurt the heavens and reason.

Without further ado, it is imperative to find out as soon as possible what they want.
