Chapter 9 Clothes are heavy

Qiao Mingde once heard the older generation say that when people die, they will show all the past in this life in front of their eyes.

But now Qiao Mingde can say responsibly that this is simply.

At this time, Qiao Mingde was pierced through his chest by a straight spear, nailing him to the ground.

Qiao Mingde didn't feel any pain at the moment, only a trace of coolness slowly dispersed from his chest to his limbs.

The shouts and killings around him were still shocking, but they felt a little ethereal and distant to Qiao Mingde's ears.

He knew he was dying, and now everything that seemed strange was a sign before his consciousness dissipated.

Although he was unwilling to leave this world at such a young age, he knew that it was inevitable.

However, what made him happy was that just now he personally hacked to death the soldiers of the Sange Grass Army.

When his long sword cut off the other party's head, Qiao Mingde felt that the excitement at that moment made him uncontrollable.

Perhaps the Grass Army soldier who had plunged a spear into his chest just now was just as excited.

Maybe that's human nature!

Once the gentleman of the clan once taught them a lesson: Human nature is evil.

If he remembers correctly, it seems that this sentence was uttered by a sage, but he can't remember which one it is.

But it doesn't matter, maybe he will be able to find this sage in the world of the dead after his death.

I only hope that in the next life, I can live by the side of the sage, always listen to the teachings of the sage, and no longer do nothing like this, and finally die at the hands of bandits.

The people on the battlefield did not stop their weapons because of the death of their comrades.

The life of one's companion or even one's own life is insignificant at this time, as long as death is the subject of the moment.

Everyone was still fighting, and the roars kept wafting in the sky above the Qiao family's compound.

In the center of the battle, the strong man holding the Xuanhua giant axe was like a tireless beast, constantly wielding the big axe in his hand.

His mouth was still breathing out unknown syllables.

The five people who were originally riding on horses around him also dismounted at this time and fought with everyone in the Qiao family.

Although these men are short, they are not ambiguous in fighting.

Because of their small size, their movements are much more flexible than those of strong men.

They dodged left and right in the crowd, constantly waving the weapons in their hands to attack the Qiao family.

From time to time, someone would be beaten to the ground by him, and they would soon be overwhelmed by the grass army behind.

Everyone in the Qiao family had to retreat while fighting, and the formation that had been spread out also began to shrink, and they were about to be unable to resist.

To add insult to injury, the archer of the Grass Army had climbed onto the roof of the front yard at some point.

He condescendingly observed the battle situation on this battlefield, but whenever he found that someone in the Qiao family was fighting bravely, he would be an arrow at hand.

Such a situation made everyone in the Qiao family miserable.

The archers of the Qiao family originally wanted to shoot that person as soon as possible, but the opponent's archery skills were too strong, and before they could aim at each other, the archer's feather arrows had already hit them.

Soon, there were less than twenty people left on the Qiao family's side, and they were all injured.

The dozen or so people gathered together, already surrounded by the Grass Legion.

"I have to say that you guys are still a little bloody."

Zhuang, who was holding the Xuanhua giant axe, saw that the situation was basically under control by himself, so he found a stone bench and sat down.

"I respect the most bloody good men in my life, and you are all good."

"Don't act here coyly, you're just a group of shameless bandits, what kind of heroes and heroes."

Some of the surviving members of the Qiao family came out of the crowd and scolded angrily.

"Yes, it's true that we are bandits, and we do kill people and set fire to rob houses, but everything has to be told about the cause and effect, yes or no?"

The strong man was not angry, he asked everyone in the Qiao family.

But everyone in the Qiao family still looked at the grass army around them with hatred.

At this time, they were all ready to die, constantly looking for an opportunity to launch a final attack.

Seeing that everyone in the Qiao family didn't answer, this strong man lived with a big axe and looked at them with a mocking face.

"Now that you're basically exhausted, why don't you take a break, I'll tell you a story."

Without waiting for everyone in the Qiao family to object, the strong man began to tell by himself.

"It is said that there is a family surnamed Yuan in Huaiyang County, this is a local wealthy family, and there are people in the family who have been officials in the court for generations, so they have a lot of influence in the local area, and even the officials of the state and county have to look up to it."

Hearing the strong man talk about the Yuan family in Huaiyang County, the faces of some of the people in the Qiao family couldn't help but change.

"Look, how similar is this Yuan family to the Qiao family? You are also the emperor of the land in this Liang County. ”

Although Dahan had a smile on his face, the people around him felt as if he was trying to suppress something.

"Speaking of going back to the Yuan family, one day when a young master of the Yuan family was swimming in the lake, he found that there was a woman in Huanyi by the lake who looked quite good, and he couldn't help but be moved. So he stepped forward to talk, but after chatting a few words, he found that the woman had not only become a parent, but also carried a two-year-old doll on her back. ”

When everyone heard this, an ominous feeling swelled up in their hearts.

"At that time, this son had no choice but to give up, but after going back, this son was obsessed with the woman, even to the point of not thinking about tea and dinner."

The more the strong man spoke, the deeper his tone became.

"In the end, this son couldn't bear to let people inquire about this woman's situation, and then the family told him that this woman's husband was a border army in the north, and there were only her and her elderly mother-in-law at home."

"Guess what's going to happen next?"

Saying this, the strong man stopped, smiled and looked at the Qiao family, the smile on his face was even brighter, but the compelling momentum was like a substance, and everyone in the Qiao family was breathless.

In fact, they had already guessed what would happen next, after all, there were many people in the Qiao family who had done this kind of thing, but it was better to cover it up.

"Since you don't say it, let me tell you that in order to occupy the woman, Yuan Gongzi took advantage of the night to break into the woman's house and kill the woman's elderly mother-in-law on the spot, and then kidnapped the woman."

The stronger man spoke, the faster he spoke, and his tone became deeper and lower.

Everyone in the Qiao family felt that this strong man was like a volcano about to erupt now.

"Then Yuan Gongzi imprisoned the woman in Yuan's house and humiliated her in every way, and her poor child starved to death at home because there was no one to take care of her."

Speaking of this, the people around him, whether they were the grass army or the Qiao family, couldn't help but gasp.

The strong man no longer had the slightest smile on his face at this time, and his face distorted by anger was as terrifying as a demon from hell under the light of the torches.

"It's not over yet, when Yuan Gongzi had had enough, he originally planned to keep the woman in the house for a long time so that he could be humiliated and entertained at any time, but he never thought that Yuan Gongzi's mother felt that her son would affect the future imperial examination because of his addiction to women, so she drowned the poor woman in the pond when Yuan Gongzi went out to play."

Saying this, everyone's hearts thrashed again.

Looking at everyone's stunned expressions, the strong man tried to calm down the emotions that were about to explode and continued.

"It's ridiculous, this woman's husband is also surnamed Yuan, and he is still in his own family with that Yuan Gongzi, but they are distant relatives separated by several generations, do you think it's ridiculous?"

His question left everyone speechless, and even the five thin monkeys on horseback who had tried everything to please him before did not dare to say a word.

"Although since ancient times, there has been a saying that the poor do not fight with the rich, and the people do not fight with the officials, but how could the husband who hated the woman so much could bear it, so after he came back, he broke into the Yuan family overnight and slaughtered all the seventy-six members of the Yuan family."

Everyone was completely frightened by this man's resolute and ruthless methods.

"And the woman's husband not only killed the seventy-six, but also cut off all their heads, and gouged out all their hearts."

Saying this, a smile appeared on the strong man's face again, but this time it was not a suppressed false smile, but a smile from the heart.

It's just that his smile makes everyone shudder.

Even the grass army around him involuntarily retreated.

The story of the strong man is not over, he continued.

From then on, the woman's husband changed his surname, and he removed the top horizontal of the Yuan character to mean that he cut off the head, and he removed the mouth in the middle of the Yuan character to mean digging out the heart. From that day on, he began to take the surname Yi. ”

"And my surname is Yi, my name is Yi Chongdao!"

When the strong man said his name, he shouted it with almost all his strength.

It was as if when he shouted the three words "Yi Chongdao", he had unloaded all the cause and effect, like a phoenix nirvana.

"What's the use of you telling us this, we are not from the Yuan family."

The people of the Qiao family were a little frightened by his roar, so someone whispered.

"The reason why I want to tell you this is because you are all bloody men, and I don't want you to die in vain."

Although the voice of the person who spoke in the Qiao family was very small, it was still heard by the strong man.

"Although you don't have the surname Yuan, but one of the seventy-six people I killed is surnamed Qiao, do you say it's a coincidence?"

Yi Shigedo stood up and lifted the axe over his shoulder again.

There were still people in the Qiao family who wanted to continue to ask, but they were stopped by the people who were in front of them.

"We have already understood the reason, so that person is also to blame, since you have already killed that person, but you have implicated my Qiao family, is it a little too much?"

The people of the Qiao family, who knew the inside story, argued.

But in fact, he also knew in his heart that his defense was too pale, and if someone offended them, most of them would also implicate their family relatives.

Do not do unto others as you would have them do unto you, and the phrase is generally uttered only when the weak beg for mercy from the strong.

"Is it excessive? It's indeed a bit excessive, but she's so domineering and so unscrupulous, isn't your Qiao family responsible? ”

"She didn't stop her son from robbing my daughter-in-law, and she didn't persuade her when his son insulted my daughter-in-law, but in the end she thought it was my daughter-in-law's fault that she thought it was her son from indulging in women's sex?"

Yi Zhongdao asked angrily.

The people of the Qiao family were speechless again, sometimes when they are strong, the truth is always on their side, and it has nothing to do with right or wrong.

But now the obvious truth is no longer on their side, because they are now just fish under the weight of the axe.

"The saints say that the Son is not the fault of the Father! Since that wicked woman did such a unconscionable thing, then her father and people should also bear the corresponding responsibility, am I right? ”

Yi Chongdao held a big axe and shouted loudly at the Qiao family's compound: "Qiao Fugong, you old horseman still haven't come out?" Lao Tzu has come to take your dog's life. ”

But no one in the brightly lit Qiao family's compound responded.

"Old horseman, your daughter and grandson are still waiting for you on Huangquan Road! Don't come out and reunite with them soon! ”

Yi Chongdao shouted at the Qiao family's compound again, but there was still no one in the backyard to respond.

At this time, Yi Chongdao felt that something was wrong, so he didn't say more.

Raising the huge Xuanhua Axe, he rushed towards the dozen or so Qiao family people who were blocking in front of the grass army again.

The killing was staged again, and the people of the Qiao family, who were exhausted at this time, could no longer resist the extremely powerful Yi Chongdao.

The axe shadow flew over, and the blood mist sprayed, and this time the people of the Qiao family were no longer able to cause any damage to the other grass troops.

It wasn't until the last person fell that Yi Chongdao withdrew his axe, and he strode towards Qiao's backyard without saying a word.

"You wait for a room-by-room search, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to find out Qiao Fugong's old horseman for me."

In response, the grass army scattered and ran towards the various rooms of Qiao's house.

As the doors of each room were pushed open, the rooms were empty.

When all the doors were opened, no one from the Qiao family was found.

An angry expression continued to accumulate on Yi Chongdao's face, and he was on the verge of exploding.

"Master Yi, don't worry, I think the Qiao family must have a secret passage to the outside, as long as we find the secret passage, the people of the Qiao family will definitely not be able to run far with the family."

The sharpshooter in the grass army immediately stepped forward and admonished.

After saying that, the archer immediately began to arrange for the grass army to carefully search the houses of the Qiao family again.

And Yi Chongdao was also angry in the middle hall of the Qiao family's compound at this time.

After a while, a thin grass army hurriedly ran over.

"Commander, we've discovered the secret passage."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yi Chongdao stood up and strode towards the room that the grass army was pointing to.

And all the people hurried after them.

Yi Zhongdao walked into the room and found that this room was a study, with bookshelves on the east side and Bogu shelves on the west side.

There were all kinds of books on the shelves, and there were quite a few things on the Bogu shelves, but there were places where things had obviously been placed before, but now they had been taken away.

Even the desk is missing an inkstone and paperweight.

Yi Chongdao didn't care about this, and saw several grass soldiers surrounding the northwest corner of the study.

He lined up the crowd, and sure enough, he found a two-meter-square passage exposed on the ground.

Looking closer, there is a staircase in this passage, and it seems that the Qiao family has already built this escape passage to prevent trouble.

Yi Chongdao went down the passage without saying a word, he must kill Qiao Fugong today.

"You don't have to follow me, the strongest big family in Duliang City is the Qiao family, now that the Qiao family has been destroyed, the other big families don't have to be afraid, you act quickly, and leave as soon as you are over."

Before leaving, Yi Zhongdao commanded.

"Master Yi, you are not acting safely, it is better for me to follow you, so that we can cooperate with each other, and Qiao Fugong will go to Huangquan to report."

The skinny archer in the grass army suggested.

Yi Chongdao agreed after a little thought, so the two entered the secret passage and chased after the Qiao family.
