Chapter 18: The Past
Everyone followed the sound and looked, only to see that in the direction where Bai Ye had just fled, a middle-aged man with long hair spread out and dressed in black walked towards them. The man's clothes are simple and plain, but he exudes the aura of a superior person, and it is obvious that this person's status is by no means simple. In a few breaths, the man had already walked in front of everyone from a distance. Looking closely, the man was still carrying a person in his hand, who else could it be if it wasn't Bai Ye who had escaped?
The man threw the dying Bai Ye in front of Zuo Wu, looked at Zuo Wu coldly, and said, "I don't know if Lord Zuo still remembers?"
Zuo Wuzai looked at the man carefully, and suddenly in his mind, the man and a person who only had one side in his memory matched each other, and he was shocked and said: "Master Han, are you going to start a war with my Zuo clan?"
This man is naturally Youzhou Mu Hanli, he has actually been nearby, from Qi Xuan's formation to Bai Ye's escape, he has seen it completely. Originally, he wasn't going to make a move, but he didn't expect Bai Ye to leave a back move. In order not to leave a living, Han Li had to come once with the yellow finch behind. That's why we have this scene.
When Han Li heard Zuo Wu's words, he sneered: "No, no, no, you are mistaken, from the beginning to the end, the people in Cen Jiazhai and the affairs of this son, this official has never been involved, how can Zuo Han start a war." What's more, what kind of thing are you, you can also represent Zuo's. I really dare to give myself a long face. ”
"Okay, someone on the left admitted that Lord Han was not involved. But in your Youzhou, it's always right for you to sit back and watch the imperial court officials being attacked, right?"
"This official has never seen anyone attack Lord Zuo. I've only heard that demon beasts have been popping up in the Cangyun Mountains recently, so I'm afraid that Lord Zuo will be buried in the belly of the beast. Han Li said playfully, and after that, he withdrew from the crowd and stood beside a tree not far away, with his arms wrapped around his chest, looking lively.
Zuo Wu saw Han Li's appearance of being a hooligan, and he was directly angry. He pointed at Han Li, his face was flushed, his body trembled violently, and he couldn't say a word.
Knowing that he was afraid that he would not be able to escape this catastrophe today, Zuo Wu no longer struggled, he sat on the ground dejectedly, looked at Cen Yi and said: "Let's talk about it, when did Zuo someone make a feud with your Cen family village, let you go to such great lengths to put me to death." Zuo Wu thought that all this today was Cen Jiazhai's masterpiece, he didn't take Qi Xuan in his eyes at all, he thought that this weak young man was just Cen Yi's subordinate.
Cen Yi also knew that with the help of Hanli today, Zuo Wu would no longer have the possibility of surviving no matter what, so he gritted his teeth and expressed the grievances between Cen Jiazhai and Zuo's family.
"I think everyone here must have heard of the beast tide in Youzhou sixteen years ago. And my grudge with the Zuo clan also arose because of that beast tide. ”
At that time, Youzhou Mu Liu Yan had just been in office for three months. Liu Yan, who was nearly half a hundred years old, was promoted by the first emperor, and he was very grateful, and he vowed to govern Youzhou well to repay the first emperor's kindness. It is true that within three months of taking office, Liu Yan has made the entire Youzhou vibrant. ”
"It's just that there are unforeseen circumstances, and just when Liu Yan was ambitious, your Zuo clan people appeared. I still clearly remember that at that time, the five people who claimed to be the main lineage of the Zuo clan came to the main city of Youzhou, and they were all commanding. The Zuo family is such a huge family, not to mention, how dare Liu Yan offend five cultivators who have successfully enlightened the spirit. He carefully sent people to serve those people, hoping to send these great gods away as soon as possible. After a few days, the Zuo clan did leave. It's just that what Liu Yan didn't expect was that what he thought was the end was the beginning of a nightmare. ”
"At that time, my father was the city defense officer of Youzhou City, responsible for guarding the safety of Youzhou City. Liu Yan and my father have always had a good relationship, and I have been a childhood sweetheart with Liu Rong, the daughter of the Liu Mansion, so the two families want to be good friends with Qin and Jin. Just a few days after the Zuo family left, the wedding day of Rong'er and I came. ”
"I will never forget that day of Rong'er in my life, she walked towards me in a red dress, her eyes were gentle as water, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned. We received the blessings of the whole city and walked together, making a vow to this heaven and earth. I thought we could be happy like this forever. ”
"It's just that before our wedding is over, a wave of shaking came from outside the city. We hurriedly ran to the city wall to see, and we saw a very shocking scene. I saw that all the demon beasts outside the city were dense, and they were rushing towards the main city of Youzhou. The leader of the demon beasts is a giant wolf, which is snow-white, and the wolf's head has a silver crescent mark. Although we had never seen the Silver Moon Celestial Wolf before, at that moment we all understood that she was the strongest demon beast in this Secluded Mountain Range, the Silver Moon Celestial Wolf. I saw that its eyes were red, and it roared madly, as if it was saying something. ”
"Suddenly, we saw that there was a small black dot in front of the giant wolf that was moving rapidly towards the main city of Youzhou. When I looked closely, it turned out to be a person. I don't know what trick the man used, but his speed suddenly increased dramatically, and in a few breaths, he ran to the city gate. Only then did we recognize that he was one of the five Zuo people at the beginning, but he did not have the arrogance and indifference at that time, but his hair was open, covered in blood, and he was extremely embarrassed. He also carried a small beast in his arms, which looked very similar to the giant wolf, except that the little beast lacked a crescent mark on its head, and the fur on its four paws was not white, but black. ”
"By the time the Zuo man was pulled up by us with a rope, he had only one breath left. He shoved the sleeping little beast into my father-in-law's arms, and told my father-in-law to send it safely to Pingdu Zuofu, and he died. Just as the man was dead, the giant wolf had already led the beasts to the city gate. ”
"Looking at the sleeping beast in front of us, and then at the anxious giant wolf under the city gate, which looks similar to it, we understand the whole situation. I believe that through my description, Lord Zuo also knows the real reason for that beast tide. Cen Yi said with a mocking face.
Zuo Wu had indeed heard of the beast tide in Youzhou before, but at that time he thought it was just a simple beast tide. After all, although the beast tide is not common, there have been a few times. But now it seems that the beast tide was just because the people in the Zuo clan stole the child of the demon beast, and they led the little brother to come out like this. Thinking of this, Zuo Wu had a grudge against those Zuo clansmen who had never met, why did you say that you had nothing to do to steal other people's children, just put your own life into it, and you have to drag yourself down after being dead for so many years.
Seeing Zuo Wu's expression, Cen Yi smiled coldly and continued: "After we figured out this layer, we fell into a dilemma. If we get that little ** out, the danger of the beast tide will be solved naturally, but we will face the endless pressure of the behemoth of Zuo's. If you don't hand it over, according to the endless demon beasts under the city gate, the entire main city of Youzhou will become a hell on earth. ”
"I still vividly remember that my father-in-law did not hesitate to choose the former. He said that he was the parent official of Youzhou, and he must not put the people of Youzhou in a place of no return. So saying, he sent for the gates of the city, and he himself carried the little beast and sent it out. Perhaps it was because the demon beast knew that the enemy was dead, so it didn't make trouble anymore, but let out a long roar and led the beast tide to flee towards the Cangyun Mountain Range. ”
"We all knew it wasn't going to end like this, but we didn't expect the disaster to come so quickly. Three months after Rong'er and I got married, a holy decree from Pingdu arrived in Youzhou, and the first emperor asked us to go to Pingdu on the same day. The Holy Command cannot be violated, even if we know that it is a point of no return. ”
"Sure enough, when we were about to arrive in Pingdu, we were attacked, and the five cultivators of the Naling Period actually killed the innocent mortals of the Cen and Liu families without regard for their own identities at all. Although my eldest brother was also cultivating in the Naling period at that time, after all, two fists were invincible to four hands, and my wife and I watched our relatives who had been laughing and laughing in the past fall in a pool of blood one by one, but we couldn't do anything. Do you know what despair is? It was then that I really realized the despair of not having the strength. ”
"Maybe it's because God favors me, my eldest brother actually broke through in that situation. The situation is reversed, even if it has just entered the stage of rejuvenation, it is not something that a spiritual cultivator can resist. The five executioners were quickly killed by the eldest brother, but what was lost can never be returned, and more than a hundred innocent lives of Cen Liu, including my father-in-law, can never be returned. ”
"Afterwards, we searched for the token of Zuofu from the bodies of those five people. But knowing who the enemy is, we can't do anything, we can only curl up on the secluded mountains, like a poisonous snake dormant, waiting for the opportunity to come. ”
"A year after the establishment of Cen Jiazhai, my Rong'er died depressed after giving birth to Siyu. And my eldest brother also lost contact because he was looking for an opportunity to become stronger. Over the years, my hatred for your Zuo clan has not disappeared a little because of the passage of time, but has become more and more intense. I know that it is impossible to deal with a behemoth like the Zuo Clan, but I believe that it can still be done if so many people from the Zuo clan disappear one or two. Lord Zuo, you are not the first, and you will not be the last, I want you to understand that although ants are weak, they will sting people when they are in a hurry. ”
