Chapter 9: The Tragedy of Wind and Dew
"Brother Yang, so you know that Chu Jiang has no money to pay to the boatman, so you dragged me up and was slaughtered?" Jiang Qiyue was deeply resentful, and complained after separating from Chu Jiang's sister and brother. After Chu Jiangli got the silver, he paid off the charter fee and returned the money that his friends bought clothes for them. Only then did he realize that Chu Jiangli had no silver at all, and he was actually slaughtered by her.
It was also strange that he was blinded by the beautiful flowers, and he didn't have the money to go to the city to buy clothes first, how could he believe that the two of them would have the silver to rent a boat to fish? Mistakes, mistakes, I don't know how to be laughed at by my big brother when I go back.
Yang Heng smiled at the corner of his mouth, "This is Brother Jiang, you want to go over by yourself." He knew that Chu Jiang was shy from the two of them, and he was a little curious about how they would get out. I didn't think that Jiang Qiyue was quite interested in her, so I had to follow his wishes. That woman is not willing to suffer at all.
The reason why she wanted to say such a thing to the boatman was that she had the idea of eating people with a short mouth, hoping that she would not be driven into the water if she could not get the money at that time. Jiang Qiyue automatically sent it to the door, and she also looked like she was fueling the troubles, so she got off the donkey down the slope. As he expected, Chu Jiangli knew very well that he was the one who made the idea, so he dared to do such a thing in Lujiang City. Because, she calculated that Jiang Qiyue would give it, and no one would pursue it. With such a smart woman, it is not so easy for the Hu family to calculate anything.
The two of them rode one by one, and they could return to Yangxing City in two days. If you are in a hurry, riding day and night is enough. Yang Heng and Jiang Qiyue rested at the Fenglu Inn at night, when they suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves and headed towards Fenglu Mountain. The Wind Dew Inn is backed by the Wind Dew Mountain, and is named after the Wind Dew Mountain.
Yang Heng and Jiang Qi gathered together to discuss the sudden appearance of a group of people. There were not many people, more than two dozen people, all dressed in night clothes. One person leads, followed by two columns of men and horses, the sound of horses' hooves is neat, and the training is well-trained. "Brother Yang, if I'm not mistaken, this is the Hidden Dragon Guard!"
The Hidden Dragon Guard, which existed with the founding of the Liyang Kingdom, has been around for more than two hundred years. It is a guard unique to Liyang, and the other two countries have not set up such an organization. Hide from the Emperor's side and keep him safe; Collecting secret information, the entire Hidden Dragon Guard, composed of a hundred martial arts masters, is the last guarantee of the royal family. Under normal circumstances, the Hidden Dragon Guard stays in the palace and will not and cannot go out easily. Now more than 20 people have been dispatched to Fenglu Mountain, what happened?
At night, the wind dew mountain is dark and quiet, and the rare and sporadic light jumps between the mountains. After a while, it was pitch black again. Fenglu Mountain, Fenglu Mountain, Yang Heng pondered, his eyes were gloomy. The thing related to Fenglu Mountain and that could make the person who did not hesitate to send the Hidden Dragon Guard, he could only think of more than two hundred years ago, the only master in the world, the Great Yi Dynasty.
The territory of the Great Yi Dynasty is vast, and it is the real royal land under the whole world, and the coast of the land is not the royal city. The country is rich, the army is strong, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. The history of the Great Yi Dynasty lasted for more than 600 years, until more than 200 years ago, the lord of the Great Yi Dynasty did not think about the government and indulged in pleasure. Allowing officials to be greedy for ink and silver, looting the people's fat and ointment, and exacting taxes and miscellaneous taxes have surged, and the people have complained. The three vassal kings took advantage of the situation and encroached on the territory of the Great Yi Dynasty, each becoming emperor.
According to historical records, when the three vassal kings attacked the palace, the lord of the Great Yi Dynasty fled through the secret passage of the palace and hid in Fenglu Mountain. The three kings pursued them and sent troops to besiege them. In the end, the lord of the Great Yi Dynasty jumped off a high cliff in Fenglu Mountain, and his bones were gone. That high cliff got its name because of this, the cliff of Yi Death, the meaning of the destruction of the Great Yi Dynasty. Fenglu Mountain has also changed from an unknown mountain to a famous mountain.
It has been more than 200 years since the fall of the Great Yi Dynasty, and the Imperial Palace of the Great Yi Dynasty has become the imperial palace of Liyang today, and the national capital has been renamed Yangxing. The former overlord of the world, the Great Yi Dynasty, has gradually been forgotten by the world. Occasionally, when someone mentions it, they are all embarrassed.
"Hidden Dragon Guard, Fenglu Mountain, Dayi Dynasty......" Yang Heng groaned, he vaguely knew what had happened. Don't rest, let's go back to the stars overnight. Yang Heng said to Jiang Qiyue.
"Brother Yang, won't you?" The Great Yi Dynasty, which perished more than two hundred years ago, if the matter is true, it is inevitable that Emperor Liyang will be so nervous.
The founding emperor of Liyang is the most ruthless of the three kings, and after he entered the palace of the Great Yi Dynasty, he slaughtered the royal family of the Great Yi Dynasty, and even the nine clans. For a whole month, every night was their wail, blood flowed all over the ground, and the whole Yangxing was filled with blood mist. The people of Yangxing will never forget that dark day.
Liyang's founding emperor never knew what kind of hidden danger his actions had caused for his country.
If the matter is related to the Great Yi Dynasty more than two hundred years ago, the peace of the years will be broken, and those who have a heart will take advantage of this opportunity, and then ......
Alas, I hope it's my own worries.
Jiang Qiyue and Yang Heng didn't plan to rest, they each packed up and rushed back to Yangxing.
Two days later, Yangxing City, the Imperial Palace. Emperor Liyang sat in the imperial study, and the leader of the Hidden Dragon Guard, General Yin, stood aside. Emperor Liyang held the secret letter in his hand, and his hands were bruised. A pair of eagle eyes shone with a bloodthirsty and fierce light, sharp as the tip of a knife, once touched, it will never die.
"Hidden General, do you think this is true?" Li Yangsheng's voice was calm, as if it was as ordinary as dealing with official business on weekdays. But the hidden general who has followed Yang Sheng for more than 20 years knows very well that his calm tone under restraint hides endless tyranny. At this moment, there is no need for his answer.
He was used to the silence of the hidden general, and of course he didn't mean to want his answer.
Two days ago, news came that traces of many people's activities had been found in Fenglu Mountain. At the foot of the cliff, remnants of worship were found. More than two hundred years have passed, the Great Yi Dynasty has perished, and he can't and won't let the Great Yi Dynasty have the slightest possibility of revival.
Therefore, he sent people over, one to investigate the truth and the truth, and the other to cut the grass and eradicate the roots. There were a few small villages near Fenglu Mountain, which turned into nothingness overnight. A fire buried the remnants of the so-called Great Yi Dynasty. Is the billowing smoke a precursor to darkness?
Hundreds of people were burned alive, the land was scorched black, and there was no life. The terrible cries of the people are still in his ears, and these spirits will follow him until he dies.
At this moment, the hidden general heard those spirits roaring in his ear, asking him why he wanted to kill innocents indiscriminately. He heard their curses, and they cursed him for not dying well. He had to accept his fate, because he was just a knife in Yang Sheng's hand. A knife has no choice. Let the blood stain your body, the strong smell of blood lingers, and you feel a strong sense of suffocation.
It's a pity that he is just a knife for the master. No matter what he says, he can't change the slightest. Liyang Sheng is a little crazy, this is the sin left by the founding emperor of Liyang. But anyone who has the slightest connection with the Great Yi Dynasty will definitely die. For a whole month, the blood was too tragic.
The number of dead is innumerable, and perhaps, there really is a so-called unjust soul in this world. Therefore, the emperors of Liyang were all suspicious, and there was a strong fear in their bones. I am afraid that the unjust soul of the Great Yi Dynasty will ask for my life, and I am afraid that those who are dissatisfied with his iron-blooded methods will rise up and overthrow the Liyang Kingdom.
"This is my world from the sun, and no one can change it. Becoming a king or defeating a king, the Great Yi Dynasty wants to restore the country, it is impossible! "Liyangsheng seems to be taking an oath to affirm what he has.
His eyes were red, his sideburns were slightly gray, and he was skinny. It was originally a tailor-made dragon robe, but it was still wide on him. Liyang has gone through several generations, and each emperor has a changeable temperament, and this one has reached the extreme. Suspicious, conceited, ruthless, tyrannical, moody.
Fortunately, the prince of Liyang is eloquent and knowledgeable. He is also good at martial arts, and knows the art of war and strategy. Since becoming the crown prince, his actions have benefited the country and the people, and won the praise of the people. There is such an outstanding heir in Liyang Kingdom, and everyone knows that the strong era of Liyang is coming.
It was because of Liyangxing that Liyang could barely stabilize the situation in the country and not cause riots. Liyang Country is not as peaceful as it seems.
The hidden general was silent, waiting for Li Yangsheng to calm down.
"Sister, do we really want to go to Yangxing now? Tang'er hasn't had enough of it. Chu Beitang pulled Chu Jiangli's sleeves and coquettishly, starting from Bicang City, his mother and father repeatedly told Yangxing to pay attention to his words and deeds, and also taught many rules. He didn't want to go to Yangxing, it would be nice if he could play with his sister all the time.
After Chu Jiang separated from his sister and brother from Yang Heng and Jiang Qiyue, he lived comfortably with the silver Jiang Qiyue took there. He was going back now, and Chu Jiangli was not reluctant. "Good, I'll take you out to play like Sister Yangxing."
"However, my mother said that in Yangxing, Sister Can't Go Out at will. Moreover," Chu Beitang looked mysteriously left and right, pulled Chu Jiangli to lower his body, and said in her ear: "And my mother said that my sister is going to marry when she returns to Yangxing this time, and she will live in someone else's house after she gets married." ”
Chu Beitang had a bitter face and tears in his eyes, "Daddy also said the same, after my sister gets married, she will be from someone else's family, and she can't easily go back to her parents' house." Don't want Tang'er, don't leave your sister. Chu Beitang's small body shrunk into Chu Jiangli's arms and hugged her tightly.
"Silly Xiaotang, even if my sister gets married, she is also your sister." Chu Jiangli rubbed his little head vigorously, "Who said that you can't go back to your parents' house after getting married?" Besides, my sister didn't say that she wanted to get married. ”
Chu Jiangli got up, took his hand and walked towards a dim sum shop. "Xiaotang, you are only six years old, at a young age, you are worried so much, beware of becoming a little old man. When you grow up, you can't wait to stay away from your sister, right? Let's go, let's go buy some food to eat on the way. ”
"Sister, Tang'er won't be like that. By the way, do we still have silver? Chu Beitang asked her in a low voice. Yesterday, Chu Jiangli took him to Qingyulou, and today he can only eat steamed buns to survive.
"Sister, why don't we go to Lujiang?" Maybe you can meet the purple potato and the person in blue.
"Poof! Hahaha......" Chu Jiangli burst out laughing, laughing happily with his hands on his hips, and his laughter was clear and pleasant. Chu Jiangli is good-looking, her eyes are shining with a small light, and she is the most beautiful scenery on the street at this time. The people on the street couldn't help but look at the woman who laughed without hesitation, forgetting what they were going to do at the moment.
"Sister, why are you laughing at me?" Chu Beitang embarrassedly dodged behind Chu Jiang, his little face flushed.
Chu Jiangli laughed for a while, and then stopped laughing and wiped away the tears that came out of his laughter. His eyes were full of Ling Lingbo's light, and he was still full of smiles. "Xiaotang, I've learned a lot of my sister's essence recently!" Chu Jiangli touched his chin, looked around, his eyes fixed on a certain place for a moment, and his smile deepened, "But well, sister has a better way to earn silver." Go, come with me. ”
Chu Jiangli walked with Chu Beitang for a while, turned into another street, and grabbed a peasant woman who was shopping for vegetables. Her arm was pulled, and the peasant woman's face was very bad. When I turned my head, I saw a fairy-like girl and a seven or eight-year-old handsome boy, and suddenly his face turned red, and he was a little embarrassed.
She has lived in Lujiang City for many years, and she has never seen such a good-looking woman, as if she came out of a painting. The peasant woman rubbed her hands together, "Girl, what is the matter?" ”
"Auntie, I want to ask you for directions. Are there any sparsely populated alleys or abandoned houses around here? Chu Jiangli asked.
"Girl, why are you asking this? You're young, you're pretty, and it's not safe to go to that kind of place with a child. "The peasant woman is very simple, and she is really worried that Chu Jiangli and her brother will be deceived." Girl, if someone calls you to go, you can't go. ”
"My sister is very powerful, not afraid of bad guys!" Chu Beitang proudly held up his small chest.
Chu Beitang's words, obviously the peasant woman didn't believe it, who would believe that a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl was a martial arts master?
"Girl, my aunt doesn't lie to you. It was some time ago that a lot of people suddenly came to the city. Lived in the city for a while, and suddenly disappeared. No one saw them out of the city, and there was no sign of them in the city. The peasant woman patted her chest, as if she was a little afraid. Then he said in a tone of telling the secret: "Many people in the city say that they have entered the haunted mansion in the west of the city. And ah, I was eaten by a ghost! ”
Chu Jiangli smiled, "So that's the case!" Auntie, in fact, the little girl and her younger brother are just worried that something will happen when they first arrive. Therefore, I want the eldest lady to tell us which places are less crowded and remote. That way, we can get out of the way. ”
Only then did the peasant woman put her mind at ease, told Chu Jiangli about some remote places in the city with few people, and carefully told her not to go there easily.
After separating from the peasant woman, Chu Jiangli took Chu Beitang all the way to the west. There are fewer people and the location is more and more remote. The two of them walked to the legendary haunted mansion before stopping. Chu Beitang swallowed his saliva, and said with some fear: "Sister, didn't you say you wouldn't come here?" ”
