Chapter 32: The Past

Between the mountains and fields, countless soldiers and black yamen hunted quickly, raising their eyes to look at the scene on the cliff.

Dongfang Liren stood behind the guards holding big shields, and the generals of Zezhou's soldiers and horses were patting their horses beside him:

"If it weren't for the prince sending Lord Ye to help with the army, a group of rough people, where would they be able to catch up here in just a few days......"

After a few moments of waiting, there was movement above the Silent Ridge.

King Wu, who was at the end of his rope, did not muster the courage to commit suicide after all, and he did not have the face to go out and grovel in public to confess his guilt.

The four guards who accompanied him had more backbone than King Wu, and they knew that there was no possibility of survival, and they didn't want to be humiliated as prisoners, so after entering the cave in the Night Terror Hall, they directly picked up their knives and killed themselves.

As for Zhang Jinglin, the reaction was much more flat.

Zhang Jinglin is a complete drug maniac, obsessed with medicine, to the point that he has no scruples about good and evil, but he is talented and can do things that others can't.

Such a person can no longer be regarded as a person, but a very valuable 'material', which is only useful if he is alive, even if he is caught by the Beiliang royal family, who hates him to the core, he can't kill him.

Zhang Jinglin knew that Da Wei had arrested him, and he continued to let him do research, so he didn't even have the heart to resist.

Night Terror Hall called the Black Ya Catcher from under the mountain, carried King Wu down, and then escorted Zhang Jinglin down the mountain, asking on the way:

"Doctor Zhang, what is the origin of Tianlangzhu?"

Zhang Jinglin didn't look like a prisoner, he walked on the sheep intestine path by himself, and responded when he heard the voice:

"A secret medicine of the Western Sea of Northern Liang, where the belief in 'Heavenly Official' is legendary, it is said that the Heavenly Official came into the world and gave the elixir to the Lord of Ten Thousand Tribes. However, the old man flipped through the annals of the Northern Liang Dynasty and speculated that it should have been researched by the wizards of the Xihai Late Department a hundred years ago, and the time was about the last time the snow lake flowers bloomed......"

"...... of the Late Division"

Night Terror Hall was sure that only he could use the Tianlang Bead, and felt that this matter must have something to do with him, so he asked:

"Where is this tribe now?"

Xuanji Zhenren walked behind the Night Terror Hall and responded:

"The West Sea is Tianlang Lake, surrounded by thousands of miles, scattered with no less than 100 tribes, the Chi Department is in the westernmost part, and it is rumored that it is the place where the sun finally sets.

"One hundred and twenty years ago, the Qi Chi Department suddenly became bigger, unified the Xihai tribes, and almost turned the situation in the world into a three-legged stand, but after the death of the old leader, the Xihai tribes quickly fell apart.

"Jiazi's former Qi Chi Department was a vassal to the Northern Liang, which was completely exterminated more than 30 years ago, and now it no longer exists."

Night Terror Hall nodded slightly.

Zhang Jinglin continued: "The statement of 'God-given things' should be the policy of the foolish people of the Qi Chi Department, just like the founding emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty, who said that when he was born, 'Nine Dragons came to the dynasty', and deceived the people. The only real miracle in history should be the dragon ride of the founding emperor of Great Wu, after all, the dragon picture is indeed not like a mortal thing......"

?

When Night Terror Hall and Xuanji Zhenren heard this, they were both stunned, and Xuanji Zhenren asked:

"Have you ever seen a dragon?"

Zhang Jinglin said with a smile: "There is one hidden in the Beiliang Palace, and the old man wanted to steal it out for research, but unfortunately it was too tightly guarded and failed." ”

Seeing this, Night Terror Hall and Xuanji Zhenren suddenly - in the hands of the Northern Liang Court, it is almost the same as in the hands of the Great Wei Court, even if they know, they don't want to steal it, this clue is not much different from nothing.

The three of them talked for only a moment, and then they came to the camp at the foot of Yellowstone Ridge.

Dongfang Liren saw that King Wu was captured and brought down, so he arranged for his soldiers to prepare to pull out the camp and turn back. Seeing the Night Terror Hall coming over, she stepped forward and said:

"Just now, I reported that I found Zhang Wenyuan in the woods two miles away. What's on him? ”

Night Terror shook his head and said, "When I first came to Wuzhou, I met a child looking for his father and helping him to investigate." Your Highness, wait a minute, I'll go over and take a look. ”

……

The drug testers who were arrested by King Wu were locked in an iron cage for a long time, without clothes and food, and most of them were still injured, so they couldn't run far at all.

The Zezhou soldiers have been searching the surrounding area, and the people they found are all concentrated in a clearing in the forest, most of them are weak Jianghu martial artists, and there are many medicine farmers.

Night Terror Hall came to the woods two miles away, and it could be seen that the military doctor was treating the injuries of dozens of unkempt drug testers.

A man with a large skeleton and a vertical scar on his face, cloaked and scattered, sat among the crowds, munching on military rations and placing a kettle in front of him.

Night Terror came to him and looked down - the man with a big skeleton was already skinny, and there were still blood stains and scars on his body, and he didn't know how bad it was under King Wu's hands.

After a few glances, Night Terror said, "Zhang Wenyuan, your son is waiting for you in Wanshui Town, and he will go out with the army later, and we will meet again soon." ”

Zhang Wenyuan was locked in an iron cage for a month, which was not a long time, and there were no major problems mentally. Hearing the words, a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes, and he reluctantly stood up and saluted and thanked him:

"The grass people meet the adults, and the grace of the adults to save their lives cannot be repaid......"

At this point, Zhang Wenyuan's eyes were suddenly attracted by the handle of the knife on the waist of the Night Terror Hall.

Although Zhang Wenyuan's martial arts are not high, he is also Yao Wenzhong's junior disciple, and his experience is not bad.

Although the dragon knife has a huge stock in the rivers and lakes, it is limited to the middle and lower class martial arts in the rivers and lakes, and it will not be a systematic knife technique, so they can just find a beautiful knife as a weapon.

And once the martial arts are learned into a system, it is impossible to carry the weapons with them, and the person with the Junshan knife on his back will inevitably slay the dragon order, and the same is true for the person with the dragon knife, because these weapons are all made for supporting martial arts, and the weight, length, and shape are all exquisite, and other genres cannot be used at all.

Zhang Wenyuan glanced at the bronze carved dragon on the ring of the head of the knife, and then looked at the face of the Night Terror Hall, and stopped talking.

Night Terror Hall remembered that kid in Wanshui Town, his knife skills were very good, and when he saw this, he asked:

"You also use a knife?"

Zhang Wenyuan said respectfully: "When I was young, I studied art in Junshantai for a few years, and I was fortunate to meet Yunze Sanjie and learn from each other. My lord, this knife seems to have an unusual origin......"

Night Terror Hall was quite surprised, he had already clarified his identity with Xuanyuan Hongzhi, and there was no need to cover it up, so he said directly:

"This knife was left by my father, have you seen it before?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

When Zhang Wenyuan heard this, he was obviously stunned, and then carefully looked at the face of the night terror, and said in disbelief:

"Dare to ask Ling Zun, but Zheng Feng among the three heroes of Yunze?"

Night Terror Hall raised his hand slightly, and let the weak Zhang Wenyuan sit down and speak:

"My father Pei Yuanfeng, 'Zheng Feng' should be a pseudonym in the rivers and lakes, but he didn't tell me about it back then, and I don't know the specifics."

Zhang Wenyuan sat on the ground, thought for a while, and said:

"The adult should be Zheng Daxia's righteous son, right?"

"Huh?" Night Terror Hall wondered, "How do you know?" Don't look like it? ”

"It's not a matter of appearance, I fought in the ring with Zheng Daxia back then, although Zheng Daxia's knife skills are slightly inferior to the other two, but his appearance is the most brilliant among the three heroes of Yunze, if it weren't for this, my sister wouldn't be ......"

When Zhang Wenyuan said this, he felt that this topic might not be pleasant, so he changed his words:

"It's a pity that Zheng Daxia made a bad plot later. I went to ask the doctor who treated Zheng Daxia's injuries afterwards, his qi and veins were broken, his kidneys were damaged, not to mention practicing martial arts, and even having children was an extravagant hope, and it stands to reason that it is impossible to have a son. ”

Night Terror Hall frowned, although he had heard about his father-in-law from Qiu Tianhe, he was not very clear about the details, and asked:

"I only know that my father was provoked to come to the stage to fight, what was the specific situation back then?"

Zhang Wenyuan sighed, recalled slightly, and talked about the past:

"I was only in my early twenties, and although my talent and martial arts were relatively poor, I was still able to play with swordsmen of my generation.

"The young swordsmen of the year all liked to run to Nanhu City, senior brother Xuanyuan Tiangang, senior sister Xuanyuan Shuye, as well as Xuanyuan Hongzhi and Yao Wenzhong, they were all frequent visitors there, and I often went there with my senior brother to join in the fun.

"Once the senior brother was in the city to learn swordsmanship, Qiu Tianhe and Zheng Feng just arrived in Nanhu City, so they came to join in the fun. Zheng Feng made his debut, just facing off with Xuanyuan Hongzhi, because of the eight-step crazy knife he used, Xuanyuan Hongzhi didn't even lift the knife, he was framed by Zheng Feng by the neck and lost an adult.

"Young people compete with each other, victory and defeat are a common thing, at that time, many people applauded, but no one went to their hearts, the senior brother helped find a field, knocked Zheng Feng down, and the senior sister also gave a bottle of wound medicine.

"Originally, I thought it was just an ordinary exchange, but it was over, and I went to drink with Zheng Feng and Qiu Tianhe afterwards. But Xuanyuan Hongzhi is cautious and calculating; found that the senior sister and Zheng Feng were close, and directly told Xuanyuan Chao about it.

"At that time, the imperial court was in the draft, and the Xuanyuan family had already established a good relationship with the capital and let the eldest daughter enter the palace as a concubine. Xuanyuan Chao was very angry when he learned of this, and ordered his senior sister not to leave the house.

Then Xuanyuan Hongzhi turned his head and asked people to find Zheng Feng and truthfully told him about the draft.

Zheng Feng was anxious, and he was afraid that the draft would be true, so he went directly to Junshantai to propose his marriage in public, and many people were coaxed at that time; Senior brother Xuanyuan Tiangang knew his senior sister's intentions, and he still pushed the boat down the river to help say a good word.

"But the Xuanyuan Dynasty has already discussed with the capital about the entry of the concubine into the palace, how can it be possible to withdraw the emperor's marriage contract, and he will not be able to get off the stage on the spot......"

Night Terror Hall frowned and said, "Then Xuanyuan Chao let my father speak with a knife?" ”

Zhang Wenyuan shook his head: "The Xuanyuan Dynasty is the sword leader, the overlord of the rivers and lakes in Zezhou, no matter how much he has to pay attention to the seniority of the rivers and lakes, he just refused this matter." As a result, Xuanyuan Hongzhi jumped out at that time and asked Zheng Feng to prove his strength with a knife; Zheng Feng saw that Xuanyuan Dynasty did not agree with the family matter, so he agreed to this method, and challenged Xuanyuan Dynasty in public, wanting to take the next knife.

,

"It is impossible for Xuanyuan Chao to marry his daughter, so when it comes to this, he agrees to the challenge; Fighting in the ring is not child's play, life and death conceit is the rule, Xuanyuan Hongzhi fanned the flames before the war, and let Xuanyuan go to death, after all, he did not agree to the family affairs, so he formed a mortal enmity with Zheng Feng, and if he kept it, he would become a big trouble in the future.

"Xuanyuan Chao is not a good person, he really wants to kill Zheng Feng with a knife, so as not to leave a curse, but it is too poisonous to attack, and it is not good to spread out.

"I saw that the situation was not right, so I ran to Qiu Tianhe with my senior brothers, and wanted Qiu Tianhe to pull Zheng Feng to play a round, but when Qiu Tianhe rushed over, Zheng Feng had already been beaten into a waste.

"Then the adults should know. Because of this incident, the senior brother abandoned the knife and retired to the rivers and lakes, and broke off the relationship with the Xuanyuan family; Zheng Feng couldn't do anything, and after waking up from a serious injury, he disappeared and never appeared again; In order to help Zheng Feng, Qiu Tianhe single-handedly entered the marriage envoy team and robbed his senior sister, and he was displaced for decades. Many Junshantai disciples, including me, also left Junshantai because they couldn't get used to it.

"The Xuanyuan Dynasty didn't become the ruler, and the heir turned his eyes, and even the title of 'Junshan Shenhou' became 'Xuanyuan Lao'er', and since then he has rarely walked around the rivers and lakes, it can be said that there is a turmoil, and there is no winner......"

Night Terror Hall frowned, and after a moment of silence, he sighed softly:

"I see."

After Zhang Wenyuan glanced at the Night Terror Hall, he said softly:

"Let's be honest, don't mind, adults. Zheng Feng is a good person, but his personality is really a little reckless, if he is changed to Qiu Tianhe, elopement, robbing relatives, raw rice and cooked rice, Xuanyuan Chao has to pinch his nose and recognize this son-in-law, he chose the most unsuitable path. However, it doesn't matter to Zheng Feng in this matter, the main problem is still Xuanyuan Hongzhi.

"Xuanyuan Hongzhi has been afraid that Zheng Feng will come back to take revenge since then, and he has tried every means to track down Zheng Feng's whereabouts......... Alas, it's good that Zheng Feng has descendants, if he really lets Junshantai expose this matter, then this river and lake will be meaningless......"

Night Terror Hall sighed secretly, put down these old accounts first, and looked at Zhang Wenyuan:

"Senior Zhang has chivalrous and distinguishes between right and wrong, and deserves to be a chivalrous character, but his son's education is really not very good, he is young and reckless, if he hadn't met me, he would have been cut down by the head snake of Wanshui Town now, and he will have to take care of it in the future."

Zhang Wenyuan's face changed slightly: "The dog is usually very good, maybe he is worried about my safety...... Are the dogs alright? ”

Night Terror wanted to say that it was okay, but last time he just made a stand on the street, and then let the kid wait in the town, and now he really didn't know what was going on, so he said:

"I said hello and it should be fine. King Wu has been captured, and there is nothing to do in the mountains, I will go and bring over the son of Senior Zhang, and you can recuperate in the army. ”

Zhang Wenyuan for the rest of his life after the catastrophe, he naturally wants to reunite with his family the most, but he has been locked up in an iron cage for a month, and now it is difficult to even stand up, and there are no horses in the mountains.

"Then it's troublesome."

Seeing this, the Night Terror Hall did not delay, turned around and returned to the foot of the Yellowstone Ridge, and after saying hello to Benben, he sped away towards the outside of the mountain......

β€”β€”

Just after noon, the sun was scorching and the weather was quite hot.

In the small inn of the small town along the river, the birds squatted under the eaves, staring at the northern mountains and sentry, humming softly in boredom.

In the rooms on the second floor, the doors and windows are closed.

Luo Ning was dressed in a cyan long dress, sitting cross-legged on the bed, her eyes closed and practicing the 'dragon elephant rejuvenation' picture.

Pei Xiangjun wore a flower and bird hairpin on her head, dressed up as a mature and beautiful young woman, and was also meditating in front of her, but she just opened the melon yesterday, and her mind was full of scenes of tossing her, and her heart couldn't calm down at all.

I don't know how long he sat down, Pei Xiangjun bit his lower lip, looked at the cold and charming fox beside him, and asked:

"Jingtang hasn't finished conditioning yet, how can we arrange it today?"

Luo Ning's eyelashes moved, and then she opened her eyes and looked at Sanniang, who knew the taste of the marrow:

"What's the arrangement?"

Pei Xiangjun saw that Luo Ning pretended not to understand, and frowned slightly:

"Shall we continue to recuperate together, or will we ......?"

Luo Ning took a light breath and said solemnly:

"Do you still want to be together? I wanted to say you last night, don't you feel awkward if two women hug each other and let a man bully you? ”

Pei Xiangjun was still a yellow flower girl yesterday, and her face was actually thin, but the fox couldn't accept it, so she could adapt to it, and said:

"What's so awkward about being in a hurry and conditioning your body?"

"Even if it's conditioning together, you can take turns in the rules, and you can't bully the two of you at once. You're still lying on my back and letting him go back and forth...... You're already heavy, and the Night Terrors are even heavier......"

Pei Xiangjun blinked: "Then I'll be down there and let you be in the middle?" ”

?

Luo Ning didn't know what to say, raised his finger and poked Pei Xiangjun on the forehead:

"Can't you just get used to him? As soon as you enter the door, you listen to the two of him together, believe it or not, after a few days, he dares to ask for non-trivial thoughts, and let you ......"

When Luo Ning said this, it was really difficult to speak, so he glanced at Pei Xiangjun's fat big moon.

Pei Xiangjun obviously didn't understand what Luo Ning meant, slapped Luo Ning's hand away, and said with a very big woman's demeanor:

"When you enter the door, you have to understand the truth of 'husband sings and women follow', you are all shocked, what else can you think about?"

"You'll know when your ass blooms later, he's always been an inch-......"

"Ahemβ€”"

Luo Ning was counting the thieves, and suddenly two coughs came from outside the window, which startled her and quickly stopped talking.

But after thinking about it, she told the truth, what is there to be afraid of? He turned his head to look at the window:

"What are you coughing about? Angry again? ”

Squeak –

The windows open from the outside.

The night terror hall that had just galloped back from the mountains fell into the room, picked up the teapot on the table and poured a big sip:

"I've been running for too long, and my throat is a little dry. What do you say? ”

Pei Xiangjun was not shy at all in front of Luo Ning, and responded:

"She felt too heavy to be pressed at the bottom and wanted to be caught in the middle."

"Pei Sanniang!"

Luo Ning's eyes were cold, and he raised his hand to hold Sanniang and prepared to serve in the family law.

And Pei Xiangjun didn't hide, leaned on the pillow, raised his hand to hug Luo Ning's upper body, and said in a blink of an eye:

"Come on, Jingtang, you let her try."

"Are you crazy?"

?!

Night Terror Hall didn't have a crooked mind, but when he heard Sanniang's words, he couldn't stabilize his heart a little. He put down the teacup and came to the bed, lay on Ning'er's back, and tapped on Sanniang's lips:

"How? Is it heavy or not? ”

Luo Ning pressed on Pei Xiangjun's placket, was caught in the middle and couldn't move, his eyes were suddenly annoyed, and he turned his head and said:

"Little thief! If you go too far like this, I'll go back to Nanxiao Mountain, you get up! ”

Night Terror Tang smacked on Ning Er's lips again:

"I'll just try, I'm going to Wanshui Town right away, and I don't want to come for real."

Pei Xiangjun was pressed by two people, but he didn't feel heavy because of his martial arts, so he lay on the pillow and said suspiciously:

"What are you going to do in Wanshui Town?"

"Pick up someone, just pass by here, just come back and have a look. You continue to rest, King Wu's business has been completed, and I estimate that I will come back in the evening. ”

Luo Ning frowned and said: "Your body is not well adjusted, Wuzhou is so messy, what is running around alone?" I'll go with you. ”

Pei Xiangjun was also worried about the night terrors, and looked at the big sun outside:

"Wanshui Town is a hundred miles away, it's so hot at noon, people can't bear the horses, let's rest and go again, sharpen the knife and don't cut wood, see you sweating profusely."

Night Terror Hall rushed back from the mountains on foot under the scorching sun, and it was indeed a little hot, so I pushed the boat down the river and prepared to rest.

Luo Ning wanted to break free from the two breads, but was pressed by two people together, and seeing that the night terror hall was about to lift her skirt, she said angrily:

"Little thief! That's what you're saying if it's true? ”

"Huh...... I'll rest quickly, I'll be able to explain this battle in a quarter of an hour at most......"

"Whoa! When have you not tossed an hour? You...... Alas~ You recuperate with her first, it's so hot, get together...... Whining! ”

Pei Xiangjun covered Luo Ning's mouth and snorted softly:

"Why are you doing so much with her? She's reluctant now, and she'll be honest later. ”

Luo Ning was covered with her mouth, her willow eyebrows were upside down, and when she couldn't break free, she could only close her eyes and make a gesture, 'If you dare to mess around, I will dare to go back to my parents' house...... No, go back to your husband's house! 'The look of grief and indignation.

The night terror hall was useless, held Sanniang's hand, and kissed Ning'er gently for a while, until Ning'er did not resist, and then put the two of them into two pairs of door shelves, and seized the time to rest......

Normally, it's updated at 0 o'clock, and these days it's all updated in advance or2.

The number of updated words is trying to increase as much as possible, and I recently took methylcobalamin tablets, which seems to have an effect, but not much.
