Chapter 125: Solitary Fort Xie Hui
"Hey, why are you challenging Xie Hui?" Fan Caiqi, who was on the side, heard Lin Ye's words, and couldn't help but ask with some curiosity.
"Prove the sword, preach the way." Hearing Fan Caiqi's words, Lin Ye slowly spoke.
"Do you think Xie Hui can prove your sword and prove your Tao?" Fan Caiqi didn't react much to Lin Ye's words, but asked with interest.
"I don't know." Hearing Fan Caiqi's words, Lin Ye shook his head slightly and said.
"You don't know?" Fan Caiqi couldn't help but say with some surprise when she heard Lin Ye's words.
"In this world, who can know, maybe I will spend my whole life and will not be able to get a glimpse of the supreme being." Lin Ye nodded slightly and said.
"Then why do you want to pursue any kendo?" Fan Caiqi asked puzzled.
Wei Zhenzhen was also very curious about Lin Ye's answer, and immediately couldn't help but prick up her ears, wanting to hear how Lin Ye answered.
"It's like why people eat, so can you tell me why people eat?" Hearing Fan Caiqi's question, Lin Ye couldn't help but smile softly, shook his head slightly and said.
"Isn't that nonsense? If a man does not eat, will he not starve to death? Hearing Lin Ye's words, Fan Caiqi couldn't help but roll her eyes and said.
With his right hand lightly brushing the hilt of the sword, Lin Ye was silent for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Just as people will starve to death if they don't eat, the sword is my life, and the sword is also in people." ”
The gentle words came out of Lin Ye's mouth, but they entered the ears of Fan Caiqi, Fan Zhuo and Wei Zhenzhen. but as heavy as a mountain.
At this moment, in their eyes, the forest leaves seemed to have suddenly turned into a sword, reaching up to the sky. A sharp sword down to the Nine Shadows.
It was as if there was nothing in the world that could stop this sword.
This is Lin Ye's belief, and it is Lin Ye's way.
The way of unrepentance unto death.
After living in the Sichuan Gang for one day, the next day under the leadership of Fan Caiqi, Lin Ye and Wei Zhenzhen rushed to the direction of Duzun Fort on the outskirts of Chengdu.
"Sister Zhenzhen, has he always been so boring? It's like a piece of iron. On the way, Fan Caiqi approached Wei Zhenzhen and pointed to Lin Ye who was walking behind him and asked.
"Sir. It's just that I don't talk much, but I'm actually really good to be a human being. Hearing Fan Caiqi's words, Wei Zhenzhen hurriedly shook her head and argued.
"Take care of this guy like this. Sister Zhenzhen, do you like him!? Fan Caiqi's eyes rolled, and she lowered her voice and said in Wei Zhenzhen's ear.
"I, I didn't ......" Hearing such straightforward words, Wei Zhenzhen's face turned red with shame. Hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head. At the same time, he glanced at Lin Ye with his eyes, and saw that his face had not changed at all, and he breathed a sigh of relief but had a little lost feeling in his heart.
"Is there the Fort of Solitude ahead?" Just as Fan Caiqi was still about to say something, Lin Ye on the side suddenly spoke.
Located on the south bank of the Banzai Pond on the outskirts of Chengdu's northern district, this Duzun Fort sits south and faces north, as if it were a reduced imperial city.
The whole fort is made of stone bricks, giving people an impregnable atmosphere.
In front of the fortress is a long river of forts, which has obviously been artificially modified. It is surrounded by water, and the water is turbulent and fast. Even people with excellent water nature cannot pass through the turbulent river Guò, which can be described as a real copper wall.
If you want to capture this Duzun Fort, unless you should put down the drawbridge from the fort, or the army is full of martial arts masters and can cross this turbulent river, you can only besiege it without attacking, cut off the food supply of Duzun Fort, and force the people inside to fight or surrender.
And there is only one suspension bridge in this Duzun Fort, which is about three meters long, and can only accommodate two carriages side by side, and there are more than ten square holes on the wall of Duzun Fort, with bows and crossbows on it, it can be said that the guards are extremely strict.
Follow Fan Caiqi to get through the suspension bridge in front of him, and came to the front of Duzun Fort, only to see that the gate of the fort has been opened, and a man in gorgeous brocade clothes, about forty years old, standing in front of the door and waiting, obviously he has already heard the news that Fan Caiqi and others are coming, and when everyone walked in, the middle-aged man looked at Fan Caiqi and said: "Miss Fan doesn't know what's going on, come to my Duzun Fort?" ”
"If you think about the ability of your exclusive castle, you should have heard about it, don't you still need me to say more?" Fan Caiqi pursed her lips and said as she looked at the wide open fort gate.
Hearing Fan Caiqi's words, the middle-aged man couldn't help but smile, and then said to Lin Ye: "Your Excellency's intention, Mr. Song Lu has already sent someone to meet the castle master, and he has been waiting for Your Excellency's arrival since two days ago, but I never thought that Your Excellency went to the Sichuan Gang. ”
Then the middle-aged man reported his name and introduced himself as Fang Yimin, the housekeeper of Duzun Castle.
Fan Caiqi was not surprised to hear Fang Yimin's words, the news that Lin Ye came to Chengdu on Song Valve's ship is not a secret, and the killing of Jiujiang 'Qingjiao' Ren Shaoming is even more big news, and now in the Jiangnan area, Lin Ye's reputation is already famous, and it is also a great good reputation.
Ren Shaoming's connivance with his subordinates to treat the Han people by burning, killing and looting has already aroused the anger of the people, if it weren't for the strength of the Iron Cavalry and the support of the demon gate behind it, the territory of the Iron Cavalry would have been swallowed up by the alliance long ago.
Then everyone followed Fang Yimin into the Duzun Fort, the entrance is a stone wall, around the wall is a tall stone archway, on the book 'faithfulness and etiquette' four big characters, and then through guò a straight stone paving road, planted on both sides of the pine and cypress, the house is hidden between the trees, the scenery is deep.
Fang Yimin said with a smile: "Our castle lord only received a letter from Song Valve two days ago, saying that Gongzi was staying on Jiujiang to deal with Ren Shaoming, and he went to Chengdu to learn martial arts with the castle master, so he sent me to wait for Gongzi again, but I didn't want Gongzi to go to the Sichuan Gang first, and the castle owner immediately talked to Fan Gang Master. ”
Hearing Fang Yimin's words, Lin Ye couldn't help but nod slightly.
Then everyone didn't say much, just looked at the scenery in this Duzun Castle, but it was an eye-opener for everyone, although Fan Caiqi was the daughter of Fan Zhuo, but the interior of this Duzun Fort had never been, and along the way, they couldn't help but secretly marvel.
Following Fang Yimin's steps, he crossed a stone bridge across the clear stream that flowed from the northwest, and saw the building groups in front of him located in the middle of Duzun Fort.
In particular, under the stone steps of the main hall, there is a majestic and vivid giant stone lion as high as one zhang, which adds a thick mystery and solemnity to the main hall.
When I went up to the main hall, I saw a man standing in the main hall with his back to everyone.
"Castle Master." I saw Fang Yimin leaning slightly towards the man.
Hearing Fang Yimin's words, the man gradually turned around, and only then did everyone see this person's face.
He was about forty years old, his eyes were bright, there was no expression on his face, his breathing was long and steady, and it was obvious that his internal qi was extremely profound.
Hearing Fang Yimin's title, Lin Ye knew that this person was Xie Hui, the lord of the Sole Castle. (To be continued......)
