Volume 1 Chapter 1 Encounters
Autumn.
"The first village in the world" Xiangyang Villa issued a chase and kill order.
A reward of 300,000 taels was offered to hunt down and kill the "desert lonely smoke" Mu Dongfeng.
For a time, there were different opinions.
Some people say that Mu Dongfeng sneaked into Xiangyang Villa late at night and stole the treasure of Yanghou Shen Wanshan's town, "Nishang Divine Sword".
Some people also say that Mu Dongfeng abducted Shen Wanshan's only daughter, Shen Zhujun.
Whatever the reason, Mu Dongfeng deserves to be hunted down.
As everyone knows, Xiangyang Villa has two treasures.
One is the world's first sword - the Neon Sword. Legend is the sword-casting master Candle Yongzi's mountain work, sharpening iron like mud, blowing hair and breaking hair, the key is that the sword is chaotic, and the sword recovers people's hearts.
The second is the first beauty in the world - Shen Zhujun. Sinking fish and falling geese, closing the moon and embarrassing flowers, comparable to Xi Shi, not letting the sable cicada, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, everything is refined, and the talent is both complete, just like a fairy.
The reason why Xiangyang Villa is respected as the first village in the rivers and lakes is not only that the Shen family was an official in the three dynasties and the hereditary replacement of Xiangyang Hou, but that Shen Wanshan resigned thirteen years ago to build Xiangyang Villa, and his chivalrous reputation spread far and wide.
In Qingzhou, whether it is a wanderer in another country, or an entertainer who encounters a difficult place, whether it is a money bank, a dart game, or a brothel, or a gambling house, almost all of them have been taken care of by Xiangyang Villa, even if it is the Qingzhou Prefecture, they also respect Xiangyang Hou Shen Wanshan.
Xiangyang Villa even has a monthly soup soup day, which is also a good karma for the poor people.
But today, on the beginning of autumn, Xiangyang Villa issued a chase and kill order.
A bounty of 300,000 taels was offered to hunt down the desert lonely smoke and herd the east wind.
I didn't say why, I didn't say the deadline.
But everyone understands that Mu Dongfeng must have a reason to die, and there must be a reason why he must kill.
Because no one questioned the order of Xiangyang Villa.
It's not so much that no one is questioning, it's that no one wants two Arcana to be owned by one person. Envy, jealousy, and hatred are in the same vein.
For a time, the rivers and lakes were surging.
On the official road outside Maple Leaf City, a young man rode a horse to raise dust.
And this young man's name is Ma Yangchen.
Sixteen or seventeen years old, sunny and handsome, with a bright smile, pear blossom dimples make people think she is a girl.
Only after a closer look will you know that you are a pure man who is like a fake.
If you ask, look carefully where you will know. I'm talking about the Adam's apple, of course, and the juvenile's Adam's apple is pronounced and prominent.
This young man has starry eyebrows, tight short fights, a Mid-Autumn Frost Sword in his hand, and a black horse under his crotch, twisting and twisting on the official road outside Maple Leaf City.
It's not the boy who is writhing, it's the black horse.
Why is it twisting?
Because not far ahead, a jujube red horse was grazing on the side of the road.
Ma Yangchen patted the black horse's neck and said with a smile: "Heizi, be more restrained, this is a bit unserious." ”
The black horse "smack" twice in response, but he didn't have the consciousness to rein, so he simply stopped, his front legs were on the ground, and his nose was trolling, and it was estimated that if he put a little curve, he would be able to dance for a while.
And the jujube red horse was still grazing on the side of the road, unmoved, occasionally turning his head, and five words floated in his eyes - "stupid".
Kuroko hesitated for a moment, took small broken steps, leaned forward, tied up the horse's steps, and suddenly raised his head/neighed, showing the posture of a male.
Ma Yangchen was taken aback, jumped off the horse, took out a handful of peanuts from his arms, hid aside, threw one into his mouth, and said with a smile: "Wait for you!" Kuroko, come on! "There is a posture of watching the excitement and not being afraid of big things.
The red horse cautiously got up, looking back from time to time, as if expecting something to happen.
The sunspot moved forward again, leaned over to the jujube red horse, stretched out his head tentatively and rubbed it, his ears and temples grinding.
The jujube red horse hid around in disgust.
At this moment, a figure flashed in the woods, and the silver bell shouted, "Ah! ”
Kuroko was startled, it was a real jump, and he jumped out of the danger area.
The jujube red horse was more nervous than the sunspot, and trotted towards the comer, came to the side, lowered his head and rubbed the little girl, as if to say, it has nothing to do with me, it is me who is teasing me.
The little girl who flashed out of the forest was fourteen or fifteen years old, handsome, with a ponytail, a little blushing, and three or two little freckles if you looked closely, but she was also cute.
Freckles looked at Ma Yangchen, and Nunu asked, "Your horse?" ”
Ma Yangchen hurriedly shook his head: "No." ”
Little Freckles bent down and grabbed a dirt and threw it out, smashed it at the sunspot, and muttered: "In broad daylight, dare to bully this girl's rouge, get out!" ”
Heizi didn't dodge, he was hit, took a few steps back, looked at Ma Yangchen, like a wronged child, and didn't dare to cry.
Ma Yangchen hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his hands, and said, "Don't, don't... They're having a good time! ”
Freckles clapped his hands and said hatefully, "Didn't you say it wasn't your horse?" ”
Ma Yangchen smiled awkwardly: "It's my horse, it's called Kuroko." ”
"Kuroko? This girl will make you remember it for the rest of your life. The little girl snorted, and stooped down again to pick up a piece of dirt.
Ma Yangchen was so frightened that he hurriedly got on the horse, and with the reins in his hand, the black horse man stood up, his four hooves soared into the air, and galloped away.
There was a "whooshing" wind behind the ears.
Ma Yangchen lowered his head and bent over to dodge, patted Heizi's neck with his hand, sighed and said, "Are you deflated?" Who keeps you from opening your eyes. It's so ugly..."Before he finished speaking, Kuroko was not happy, and he braked suddenly, turned his head and turned back.
Ma Yangchen shook his head and sighed: "Affectionate is always ruthlessly annoyed, and there is no grass at the end of the world." ”
I saw that the little freckles rode a red horse and chased after him.
Ma Yangchen shrugged his shoulders, crossed his horse on one leg, and whispered: "You explain it yourself!" ”
Freckles came close and said hatefully, "Don't run away? ”
Ma Yangchen said: "It's all a misunderstanding, and it's better to settle the dispute." ”
Freckles pouted and said, "This girl doesn't care about you, get out of the way, I want to go over." ”
Ma Yangchen hurriedly took the reins, dodged the road, and said while turning the horse's head: "It's still a girl's atmosphere, I'll just say, no." My name is Ma Yangchen, what about you? ”
Little Freckles said: "This girl Zhuo Qingyan, my father's head of the Wanmatang Dart Bureau is extraordinary. ”
Ma Yangchen smiled: "Look up for a long time!" Disrespectful, disrespectful! ”
Zhuo Qingyan said with a smile: "Have you heard of my name?" ”
Ma Yangchen was stunned: "It seems that I just heard you say..."
Zhuo Qingyan sighed: "I'll just say, this girl hasn't gone through the rivers and lakes yet, where did she get her name?" ”
Ma Yangchen breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Wanmatang has heard of it, Mr. Zhuo's Qingfeng Sword is famous, and the Phoenix Dance Nine Style is worth asking, but I didn't expect it to be your father, it's really a coincidence." ”
Zhuo Qingyan looked up and down and said, "Just you?" I'm afraid it's not enough to see. The father will not compete with the child. ”
The two walked side by side.
Ma Yangchen raised the sword in his hand and said arrogantly: "Since ancient times, heroes have been teenagers. Not only do I want to challenge your father, but I also want to meet the desert for a while. ”
Zhuo Qingyan grabbed the reins violently, and said in surprise: "Mu Dongfeng? Do you mean Mu Dongfeng, who is hunted down by Xiangyang Villa with a bounty? ”
"That's right!" Ma Yangchen looked excited. "Forget it!" Zhuo Qingyan looked disdainful and said, "Do you know who Mu Dongfeng is?" He is the hottest figure in the past two decades. The stinging knife is superb, the whirlwind slashes the opponent, and the stinging knife of the east wind, the knife is chivalrous, the hoe is strong and helps the weak, and it is called the spring thunder in the northwest by the rivers and lakes, and the desert is lonely. Just you? ”
Ma Yangchen smiled: "So what's the matter? The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves! ”
Zhuo Qingyan was surprised: "Then what's the matter?" You pig's head, what kind of person is the desert lonely smoke herding Dongfeng, will do things that Xiangyang Villa announced to the public, this girl looks, you are a lard with a confused brain. ”
Ma Yangchen was not angry, and said with a smile: "I can't see that you are still protecting Mu Dongfeng." ”
Zhuo Qingyan's face turned red, and he said angrily: "Who is protecting him, this girl feels that something is wrong." ”
Ma Yangchen nodded and said, "Well, what you said makes some sense. Okay, or I'll put down the bounty first and wash away this ancient grievance for Mu Dongfeng. ”
"The more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes." Zhuo Qing said, "This girl just said that there is something strange, how can there be a strange injustice?" Besides, just by you, do you know Mu Dongfeng? How do you wash him? ”
Ma Yangchen stretched his arm, shook his head, and said, "Don't you know." According to the seniority, he should call me uncle. ”
"Ahh Zhuo Qingyan looked suspicious, "Uncle Shi? ”
"Good!" Ma Yangchen grimaced.
Zhuo Qingyan raised his hand to fight, and Ma Yangchen whipped his horse.
And just now, when Ma Yangchen and Zhuo Qingyan were talking, a group of killers from "Sun and Moon Without Light" were hidden nearby.
Speaking of the sun and the moon, we must mention Qingzhou Camel Mountain.
This mountain stretches for several miles, and from a distance, the top of the mountain is facing each other, a bit like a hump, so it is called Camel Mountain.
Halfway up the camel mountain, there is a huge palace, named Haotian Palace.
Haotian Palace is the general rudder of "the sun and the moon have no light".
When he was six years old, he was kicked out of the house by his own uncle, wandering around, begging for a living, and fed up with the cold eyes and spitting of the world.
Once when I was begging, I was bitten by a dog by a child of a large family, and a piece of meat was bitten off by a dog on my thigh, and it was bloody. Later, I didn't get anything to eat for three days, and when I was dying, I was found by a lonely old lady and brought home, and I raised it for seven days before I survived.
The lonely old lady saw him pitiful and adopted him, but unexpectedly, the old lady died of wind and cold the next year, and he became an orphan again, tasting the bitterness of the world.
When he was ten years old, Xiu Riyue stole the money of the rich man in the town because he couldn't eat enough, and was chased by his family and beaten half to death.
At the age of thirteen, he teamed up with a few wandering half-grown children in the town to kill a passing merchant, and since then he has been up the mountain and the grass has been a coward.
Because Xiu Riyue was ruthless and decisive, he slowly became famous.
At the age of nineteen, during a roadblock robbery, he happened to save a woman who was abducted and trafficked, this woman was Ji Wuguang, and later became her wife in the village.
Ji Wuguang and Xiu Sun and Moon smell like each other and depend on each other, three years later, formed a well-known killer organization on the rivers and lakes "Sun and Moon No Light", the most terrible thing is that Xiu Sun and Moon and Ji Wuguang coincided with a coincidence, and accidentally obtained the "Yin and Yang Ghost Hand" in the rivers and lakes.
The head of the Emei faction, Feng Manlou, the protector Tie Zhongzhen of the Xiaoyao faction, and Shangguan Fei, the soul chasing sword, were killed one after another, and even the six doors sent by the government to arrest the six doors of Xiu Sun and Moon were assassinated and divided.
"The sun and the moon have no light" led a group of outlaws in the rivers and lakes, occupied the mountain as the king in Qingzhou Camel Mountain, desperately expanding the sphere of influence, but did not succeed, the team became bigger and bigger, and became the underworld heroes in Qingzhou.
As the team gets bigger and bigger, almost all the underworld businesses of "Sun and Moon Shine" are accepted. Raiding houses, murder and arson, rape/adultery, and plundering.
Later, it was surrounded and suppressed by the heavy soldiers of the Qingzhou Prefecture, with most of the casualties and the rest scattered.
Since then, Xiu Riyue and his wife have disappeared.
And just now, when Ma Yangchen and Zhuo Qingyan were talking, Xiu Riyue and his wife and a group of killers were hidden nearby.
Although autumn has begun, the weather is still hot.
Xiu Riyue wiped the sweat from her bald head and sneered: "This is really nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it." ”
Ji Wuguang waved the soft whip in his hand, gritted his teeth and said: "If it weren't for Zhuo Bufan's collusion with the Qingzhou Mansion back then, we wouldn't have suffered such a big loss. ”
Xiu Riyue nodded and said: "Well, if you catch this stinky girl, you won't be afraid that Zhuo Bufan will not give in, Wan Matang, I will kill him and leave him alone." ”
Several killers around him were excited.
The killer Ding San laughed twice and said: "The master, kill the chicken with a cattle slaughtering knife to deal with the two hairy children, and our brother will be caught." ”
The killer Niu Er blushed and said, "Well, the little girl is very smart, and she can still be happy..."
"Smack", Ji Wuguang slapped Niu Er on the back of the head, calmed his face, and said, "Go and come back quickly, I made a mistake and chopped your bottom to feed the dog." ”
A group of killers drew their weapons, screamed a few times, and turned their horses to chase after them.
A figure fell from the tree.
Cloth clothes, cloth shoes, stubble face, portraits of all living beings, the face is not amazing, but the body is straight, especially the eyes are blazing, holding a knife in his arms, the knife is wrapped in coarse cloth, and the straight knife is unsheathed.
Xiu Riyue was taken aback, and said in his heart: "When this person was hidden in the tree, he didn't even realize it, and from the perspective of his body, he did not make good contributions. In the face of a group of killers, his face did not change, and it seems that martial arts are not simple. ”
While thinking, he arched his hand and said, "Who is Your Excellency?" ”
The cloth-clothed man smiled and said, "Mu Dongfeng." ”
