Chapter 70: The Wind and the Waves Are Surging
(PS1: The rain is still falling, I can't forget the time of the encounter, gather and scatter, but I finally fantasize about the beginning, how warm and cold is such a season, what remains unchanged is that the old wind and moon are gone.) ps2: Thank you for yesterday's Qinglian brother, liar's chest and today's little feet for the tip. )
The night sky is full of stars, and there has been no wind and snow for nearly half a month, which makes the night above the fire city much more picturesque.
Qiao Er stood on the top of a hill, overlooking the Lihuo City with thousands of lights, and beside him stood the impostor Lu Yu and the members of the ten dark incense squads led by Xiao Qi - eighteen years ago, these young or young people who were not deeply involved in the world have become middle-aged, and now they are either pot-bellied or well-dressed, and their appearance has changed a lot, but one thing has never changed, that is, their beliefs, or their loyalty to a certain prince in the past.
At the beginning, when the members of the one hundred and eight dark incense teams left Guangqi City, they clashed with the Qilin Army, leaving none of the twenty team members who were responsible for the breakthrough of all the others to return to the team, and the other eighty-eight team members finally turned into pieces and all lurked in the cities of the Yan Kingdom, and some even went as far as the alliance countries of Tianshui and Ning, and the people who chose to lurk in the Lihuo City at the beginning, because they wanted to grasp the movements of the royal family of the Yan Kingdom, left the largest number of people, there were twenty-five people, but these people, only thirteen of them are alive after eighteen years。
Of the thirteen people, five died in the assassination of the Yanguo Dynasty, two were slaughtered by leaking their identities, two were reported to death after drinking two days ago, and the other four were hunted down because one of them betrayed and the other three were hunted down.
As for the situation of the other dark incense team members who left the fire city, although they were not as strong as Liu Yi and the imperial city, they still died thirty-seven times for various reasons, plus these people from the fire city, the members of the dark incense team that had made the Yan Kingdom court officials panic were considered to be Qiao Er, and there were only thirty-eight people left.
Just like those storytellers sometimes talk about this history in a vague way, they say that the members of the Dark Fragrance Squad are a bit stupid, that they are pedantic and don't know how to advance or retreat, after all, these 100 people alone want to overthrow a dynasty - this idea is too naïve.
Is there a little dream ingredient in it?
It's not scary to die, it's scary to know what a dream is for some people who are alive, let alone chase it.
The members of these dark incense squads lurking in Lihuo City, some of them are alive, some have married wives and had children, some are still single, and their professions are even more three, six, nine, etc., just like Xiao Qi, a shopkeeper of the Drunken Immortal Building, which is more famous in Lihuo City, and the middle-aged man who assassinated Lu Zhenyu, is the shopkeeper of a pharmacy in Lihuo City, named Zheng Feiyang, these people have stayed in a city for so many years, except for some necessary correspondence between them, and sometimes they will not see each other for a year and a half, and today- Except for Chen Jun and the other two people in high positions, all ten of them gathered together, and before the wife went out, he had told his wife and children that he had gone out of the far gate, which was of course a lie, because the closest distance to this far gate was hell, heaven, and that was the place where people who had not been stained with blood and had good intentions went.
Liu Yi informed them when she learned that Mo Li was dead and Qiao Er was about to return to Yanguo with her son, and asked them to arrange the funeral - those who marry wives don't need to return to the team, and those who come out don't have to think about returning to their previous home, everyone gathers together, just like eighteen years ago, guarding someone, except for death, they will not be separated.
As for the people in the other cities, Liu Yi did not notice, he had not seen those brothers for many years, except for the necessary correspondence once a year, Liu Yi, who had not left the city of fire for many years, had not seen them—Liu Yi thought that one day he would be able to get together with these people to drink or chat as unscrupulously as before.
But Liu Yi clearly knows that there are some things that can never go back.
Eighteen years is not a long time, but it is not a short time, so many years have passed, and the identity of the members of the dark incense team in other cities in the Yan country or the alliance country is not what it used to be, once the status of a person changes, there are more things that they want, and they will be a little less worried about losing at the same time, and what is more is to weigh the pros and cons, to put it bluntly, they just want to live.
Not to mention anything else, it's like having a list in Liu Yi's hands, this is a list that only he knows, if the people on these lists are united, how powerful they are, it will definitely be terrifying, just like Mo Li said to him before leaving- With the ability of the members of the Dark Fragrance Squad, there will definitely be a bright future in other cities or other countries, but of the twenty-five members of the Dark Fragrance Squad, who left Lihuo City and are still alive now, seven have already told Liu Yi that they want to forget the past and start over, and four have not written to Liu Yi for several years.
Of the remaining fourteen people, half of them were waiting, and the remaining half were waiting for Liu Yi's order to return to the team.
Thirty-eight people, can they really set off a monstrous wave?
Out of the tortuous underground tunnel, it was Luoyan Mountain, which was less than a mile away from the east gate of the Fire City, looking at Qiao Er and the others in front, Liu Yi, who was thinking about his heart along the way, put aside the many questions in his heart and accelerated his pace.
"Is there any news from Chen Jun?" Looking at the blood stains on Liu Yi's chopping knife, Qiao Er asked with a strange expression.
"There is no news for the time being. Liu Yi said here for a moment, turned to look at Lihuo City, "The Qilin Army should have discovered my identity." ”
"What should I do next?" the impostor Lu Yu asked at this time looking at Qiao Er.
Qiao Er didn't speak, but turned his gaze to Liu Yi.
"There's no way to stay away from Fire City. Liu Yi smiled bitterly, "There are three roads in front of us now. ”
"Tell me about it. Qiao Er frowned, he remembered the agreement he had secretly made with Mo Xiao, and when he came out on this trip, although he got Mo Xiao's support, if he stayed outside for a long time, something might happen.
"The first way is for us to go to the Assassin Thieves and unite with other thieves as much as possible to strengthen our own strength. ”
Qiao Er, Xiao Qi and the others listened quietly, but unexpectedly, the fake Lu Yu spoke at this time, "This road is not good, when I came with Second Brother Qiao, I heard that those thieves have bad deeds, even if they grow in strength, they will be bloody at that time, after all, they are all masters who don't see coffins, don't shed tears, eat people and don't spit out bones." ”
Liu Yi nodded, "The second way is to go to Tianshui Country, there is a member of the Dark Fragrance Team who has a good position in Tianshui Country now, and Tianshui Country and Yan Country have been at odds all these years, if we show our identity, I believe that the emperor of Tianshui Country will not be too embarrassed for us." ”
"What about the third way?" Qiao Er frowned, Tianshui Country is not compatible with Yan Country, but when can he come back after leaving Yan Country and going to Tianshui Country?
"Stay in the Yan Country and go to Guangqi City. Liu Yi said and chuckled, "In these years, if there is a city that has hatred for Lihuo City, it is only Guangqi City." ”
"yes. Qiao Er smiled bitterly, "That's where we separated from our master. ”
Liu Yi was silent, the cool breeze blew the hem of his clothes, his hair flew, the handsome young man eighteen years ago has become a calm middle-aged man at this moment, the blood in his bones, although it is no longer blood, but the passion is not extinguished.
"Is there any news of the master?" Qiao Er said and looked at the fake Lu Yu, the fake Lu Yu nodded slightly, and then turned to look at Liu Yi, "Brother Yi, where are my father and mother now?"
"It's good for Childe to call me the third child. Liu Yi bowed, "Although it is rumored that the owner has been killed by Lu Tianxing, I have found some traces over the years, and I don't dare to comment on it, as for the master's mother." Speaking of this, Liu Yi paused, "I saw her once, but the housewife doesn't seem to remember me anymore." ”
"Where is my mother?" the imposter Lu Yu showed a hint of urgency on his face, "Please also ask the third brother to tell me." After speaking, he stepped forward and grabbed Liu Yi's hand, and was about to bow down, but was stopped by Liu Yi.
"The mistress doesn't want to be disturbed by the living right now. When Liu Yi said this, she saw Qiao Er's brows furrowed, and sighed secretly in her heart, "But Gongzi is not an outsider, when Gongzi goes to Guangqi City with me, I will naturally arrange for Gongzi to meet with his mother." ”
"Then I'll thank the third brother first. The fake Lu Yu looked happy, and after speaking, he looked at the other members of the Dark Fragrance team, "Third brother, are there so many uncles and uncles left in the Dark Fragrance team?"
"It's not. Liu Yi looked at Lu Yu and shook his head, "A lot of things have happened over the years, and these people are the people who stayed in Lihuo City back then. ”
"How are the others doing now?" Qiao Er said at this time, "The eldest brother has secretly protected Gongzi in the tribe all these years, and I have not spent much time in the tribe, according to the meaning of the eldest brother, I have secretly reached an agreement with Mangguo, just wait for the civil strife in Yan to make a comeback, what is the influence of those brothers in the Yan country now?"
"The situation is not optimistic now, the seventeen cities of Yanguo, when Lu Tianxing consolidated the imperial power, he divided four states and counties, and now Lu Tianxing has divided five cities to Mangguo, and the remaining twelve cities, only three of us can control the situation, and they are all remote towns. Speaking of this, Liu Yi looked at Qiao Er, "So, I mean keep waiting." ”
"Continue to wait?" Qiao Er asked rhetorically, "When will you wait, wait for another eighteen years?" I have already negotiated with His Royal Highness Mo Xiao of Mangguo, as long as he becomes the Great Khan of Mangguo, I think that time will be the best time for us to raise troops." ”
"Mo Xiao?" Liu Yi thought of Mo Xiao's information in his mind, so he nodded, "Hulunte and Mo Xiao are the people who have the best chance of winning the position of Great Khan in Mangguo, if Mangguo is willing to join forces with us, we can consider giving it a go." ”
"Then that's it, I'll have someone bring a letter to His Highness these days. Qiao Er nodded and spoke.
"When are we leaving?" The impostor Lu Yu spoke at this time, and looked at the other members of the Dark Fragrance Team after speaking, "Third brother, what do these uncles and uncles call them, Guangqi City is still a long way from Fire City, and everyone has a name along the way, right?"
Liu Yi first turned to the members of the Dark Fragrance Team and asked them to call Lu Yu Gongzi on the road, and then introduced Xiao Qi and the others to the fake Lu Yu, and at the end of the introduction, Liu Yi looked at the time, and then said, let's leave now and go to Guangqi City.
Seeing that the others had no objections, Liu Yi and Qiao Er said hello and went down the mountain first.
"Kill Su Qin?" Qiao Er suddenly sped up his pace, walked side by side with Liu Yi, and watched Liu Yi turn his head to look at him, Qiao Er asked in a low voice.
Liu Yi snorted, and her expression did not fluctuate in the slightest.
Qiao Er sighed, and then said, Give me a copy of the list of members of the Dark Fragrance Squad.
"When we get to Guangqi City, there are still a few people who have no news. I don't know why, Liu Yi lied again, and after speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Lihuo City.
Goodbye Imperial City, when will it be goodbye.
