It's almost July, and the sun is getting stronger.

At the foot of Yunhe Mountain, in a tea shop where there are few pedestrians on weekdays, there are more and more pedestrians coming and going from the south to the north these days.

At this moment, a man with a depressed face suddenly put down the tea bowl in his hand, cried loudly, and wailed loudly:

"Dao Demon Elimination Chief, Dao Demon Elimination Chief!!

"This Demon Sect Young Venerable, how dare you, how dare you act like this!?"

As soon as these words came out, the travelers in the tea shop were in a hurry, and their faces were complicated.

But there are also people who don't know why, looking around in surprise:

"What's going on? Who is the Demon Sect Junior Venerable? What did he do? ”

"Alas...... You're new to the city, aren't you? It's only been a few days since this news happened, and I guess you don't know it. ”

A man with a bag next to him sighed and said:

"Just half a month ago, the people of the Demon Sect suddenly reappeared in the rivers and lakes and made trouble in the palace.

"I actually killed the emperor on the spot!

"I also killed those princes and princesses, royal nobles, all of them.

"At that time, there happened to be a righteous path disciple on our rivers and lakes...... Wage a big war with it.

"But I don't want to, although the Demon Sect Shaozun is young, he has unparalleled magic skills in the world.

"It's not just that a lot of Jianghu masters were killed on the spot.

Even the abbot of the Dafan Monastery, as well as a famous residence in the rivers and lakes who is said to have not appeared in the rivers and lakes for many years, were killed outside the palace walls.

"It's a big deal......

"The news spread, and everyone in the big guy is in danger.

"Now that the golden cicada is approaching step by step, something big has happened to the royal family again.

"Qingguo...... Qingguo ......"

When he said this, his voice trembled, but the last two words were still not spoken.

"What?"

A few people who had never heard the news suddenly heard this, and their faces all changed drastically.

Most of them are ordinary people, and there are also businessmen and the like, even if they have a limited understanding of the rivers and lakes, they also know what the Dafan Monastery does.

"This demon cult is rampant, it has reached this level?"

One was a little incredulous.

Then another voice came:

"It's a mess, and no one knows what the truth is.

"There is a legend that the Demon Sect Shaozun made a move, first killing the emperor, and then killing the righteous masters, intending to destroy the foundation of my Qingguo, occupy my land, and kill my people.

"Others say it's ...... It's ......"

When he said this, he hesitated a little, and finally he didn't know what he thought, and suddenly he calmed down again:

"It is said that this is the first emperor's iniquity!

"It is said that someone once saw it that day, and the moon-by-month arrows that have not been out of the rivers and lakes for 20 years have seen the light of day."

"Moon-chasing arrows? General Kim's moon-by-moon arrows in the past? ”

Someone was stunned.

"Exactly."

The man said:

"I don't know if you've heard of it, but there have been rumors around it anyway.

"It is said that General Jin was full of people in the past, but in fact, there were grievances.

"There are indeed many things about General Jin that have not been explained clearly.

"It's confused, and it's all over the house overnight.

"Since then, some people have always said that the Jin family still has remnants alive, and they will make a comeback, holding a cloud-chasing bow, and shoot the emperor to death on the dragon chair with a moon-chasing arrow, so as to avenge this great revenge!"

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, some people nodded lightly, and some people looked confused.

The one who spoke continued:

"So, it's really hard to say in whose hands the emperor died.

"Maybe it was killed by the moon-chasing arrow, an arrow on the dragon chair.

"So that the people of the Jin family will take revenge."

After everyone listened, they staged a small theater again and again in their minds.

But what happened twenty years ago, now that I talk about it, is a little too old.

Nowadays, there is a lot of gossip, and there are few who can come up with evidence, just relying on speculation.

Then another man spoke:

"You've heard only a few words, but I've heard something real."

"How can you say you're hearing the real thing?"

"Whether it's true or not, we can tell the difference."

Later, the man spoke:

"What I heard was the identity of this Demon Sect Junior Venerable...... Do you know, who is this Demon Sect Shaozun? ”

The big guys shook their heads.

Demon Sect Shaozun, just these four words are enough to stop the child's night cry.

Who cares about who this person is?

Later, the man who spoke sneered:

"Tell you, some people say that this person is the amazing sword Jiang Ran from the golden cicada!!"

"What!?"

"Golden cicada thief!?"

"Is the golden cicada colluding with the Demon Sect? This will be the undeclared war against our Qingguo. ”

"If this is the case, then the person is ...... His person is really his heart can be punished! ”

When the voices of the crowd gradually subsided, the man who spoke continued later:

"I heard this from a friend who was in the middle of the six gates, and I was basically sure that it was true.

"But before this person came to our Qingguo, he didn't actually plan to kill the emperor.

"It is reported that on June 15, there was a contest between good and evil in Qi'an Town.

"It was also that scene that the Demon Sect Young Venerable appeared in the rivers and lakes.

"It was once said that the war between Jin Chan and Qingguo was all because of a Jianghu organization called 'Tianshang Que' behind the scenes.

"They killed the little prince and blamed the eldest princess of the golden cicada.

Later, when he wanted to kill the eldest princess of the golden cicada, he was rescued by a master.

The eldest princess of the golden cicada escaped death, and then went through nine deaths before returning to the golden cicada capital.

"Then there is, the eldest princess of the golden cicada sent an envoy to our country to explain the origin of the scene.

"And at that meeting, Jiang Ran, who had not yet revealed the identity of the Demon Sect Shaozun, was in charge of the position of a guard.

"But I didn't expect it...... Since then, all kinds of things have happened, one by one, one by one, all pointing at this amazing sword.

This led him to suspect that the current Holy Lord's position was not right, and that there was another conspiracy behind it.

"This is why there is a Qingluan Palace, and he killed the king in anger.

"In addition, you probably don't know that the rumors that those heavenly nobles who died in their hands were actually killed a long time ago and placed in the underground palace of His Royal Highness Qingluan.

"The portal of this underground palace was personally found by this Demon Sect Young Venerable and led the people in the righteous path to check it out."

The words were as detailed as possible, and the words that Jiang Ran once said in Qi'an Town, as well as various situations, were clearly and clearly.

But at this point, someone finally shook his head:

"Then how can't it be that the Demon Sect put people in the dungeon after killing people?"

"What's more, if this underground palace is really secret, how can this Demon Sect Young Venerable be discovered?"

"Take 10,000 steps back...... Even if it was really not done by him, daring to attack the saint without any physical evidence is also a crime of disobedience. ”

Everyone spoke one after another, and then the man who spoke took a sip of tea and rolled his eyes:

"I'm just telling you what I've heard, and I'm telling you what people say.

"What, I still have to go to the imperial capital to investigate?

"However, the underground palace is under His Royal Highness Qingluan, if it is really the people of this demon sect who killed people and carried them over, then it can be seen that they can also move freely in the palace.

"If you really want to kill someone, why do you need to be in front of everyone?"

"This ......"

A few rebuttals were also speechless for a while.

It feels like there is a point in that.

It's just that in this way, this Demon Sect Shaozun killed the emperor, did he want to set things right for their Qingguo?

Tell the truth?

Everyone didn't want to believe it for a while.

When even someone says:

"So, then why did they go on a killing spree after that?"

"Because...... Our people, don't let them go. ”

"Why?"

Someone asked directly.

It's just that after asking it, it was glanced at with disdain by many people.

Later, the man who spoke waved his hand helplessly:

"Adults talk, children don't interject."

The man was immediately angry and wanted to ask what was going on.

It's just that no one was present who paid attention to him.

And as this man's words came out, everyone began to talk about the matter again.

Some people insist that the Demon Sect is hateful, and all this is done by the Demon Sect.

The purpose is to destroy their Qingguo.

Whatever you say about the sky is all excuses and nonsense.

Anyway, until now, they had never heard of anything in the heavens.

Maybe it's all the prevarication of the Demon Cult.

Some people also say that groundless winds may not be without cause, and there is no reason for the Demon Sect to inexplicably involve an unwarranted existence.

Moreover, regardless of whether the Qingdi Emperor is true or not, those heavenly nobles were indeed killed a long time ago and thrown to His Royal Highness Qingluan, if this matter is true, it was not the Demon Sect that did it.

Either the Qingdi did it himself, or there was really a heavenly que stirring up the wind and rain behind him.

The former emperor is ruthless, and the people will have a few days of good life?

Latter...... Then not only should they not blame the Demon Sect, but they should thank others for revealing the truth.

Of course, there are still those who feel that there is no point in arguing about this.

A group of small people in the market can't affect the pattern of the world.

Now, Qingguo is about to fall into the end of the road.

How to deal with oneself and how to find a way to survive is the key.

The first person in the tea shop to cry was crying bitterly because he didn't know what to do in the future.

And today, in addition to some unknown circumstances, many people are also passing by here, wanting to run for a future.

In short, we can't wait for death when disaster strikes.

But when it came to this, someone put it up:

"Instead of talking about these marginal things here, it is better to think about how to cross the clouds and ridges ahead!

"I heard that not long ago, a group of strongmen were stationed here to rob passers-by.

"There are seven or eight cottages in the surrounding area, large and small, and they have all been taken over by them almost overnight.

"Now the power is huge, and it is the only one within a radius of 100 miles.

"Although they have never really killed anyone, they have to peel off a layer of skin if they want to pass through here.

"You are well-informed, obviously you are all well-informed people, I wonder if anyone can talk to this village?"

At this point, the topic is another lively one.

But no one noticed that in this corner of the tea shop, several people heard them talking about it, and got up and left.

After walking out of the tea shop for some distance, one of them spoke:

"This is the fifth time...... The news has been spreading outward, so fast that it's a little unusual. ”

It was a young man who spoke.

His face is resolute, he is very young, and his back is straight.

It's like a high-spirited iron spear.

The other voice was extremely old, and there was some imperceptible sharpness in the old age:

"Someone should be deliberately spreading it in the dark.

"Intentionally fueling the fire, this can spread to this ...... in a short period of time"

When he said this, his brows frowned slightly:

"I'm afraid, it's their handiwork again."

"Regardless of the rest, now that things are in a uproar, how is the safety of the eldest princess, but there is not a word."

The young man's brow furrowed:

"I don't know how Her Highness is doing now?"

"No news is the best news."

The old voice chuckled and said:

"If the eldest princess really had three longs and two shorts, she wouldn't be so motionless."

The young man nodded, but then looked at the other young man who had been silent:

"Zhao Chen, why didn't you say a word?"

Zhao Chen took a deep breath and tightened the single knife in his hand:

"They even falsely accused Master of being a Demon Sect Junior Venerable...... How can this be!

"If the master is the Young Venerable of the Demon Sect, how can they survive until now?"

The other two looked at each other.

These two people, one is Wang Jingyuan, and the other is Xu Mu.

This time to escort the eldest princess, in addition to Jiang Ran, there were also military servants, and the general who led the army was Wang Jingyuan.

Xu Mu was an old eunuch who was originally hidden in the Golden Cicada Palace, and he had practiced Yuanyang Gong all his life, but in front of Jiang Ran, he was like a three-year-old child playing with a big knife.

It can be said that it has suffered a big blow.

Later, he wanted to walk the rivers and lakes, but he followed Jiang Ran's side by mistake.

Previously, Jiang Ran and his party came to Qingguo, and after their identities were exposed, Jiang Ran and their soldiers were separated.

He himself took a group of people to escort the eldest princess and them to the imperial capital.

Wang Jingyuan's line is not easy to hide because of the large number of people.

Let them wait elsewhere and fend for themselves.

Now that they are farewell, they can be regarded as gaining a firm foothold for the time being, and they are waiting here for Jiang Ran and them to come back, so that they can make peace with them.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Ran didn't wait, and waited for such a news first.

At this moment, the two of them glanced at each other, and then looked at Zhao Chen, both with a somewhat complicated expression.

Outside the capital, the two top masters of the Blood Cicada led the best of the many Blood Cicadas to assassinate the Son of Heaven.

In that battle, Jiang Ran had already blown up his identity.

He is the Young Venerable of the Demon Sect.

In addition to Wang Jingyuan, Xu Mu also knows about this matter.

Including Liu Mucheng, who was following Jiang Ran and the eldest princess, also knew.

However, his personal disciples did not know anything about this matter.

I thought that someone else deliberately framed my master......

It's kind of funny.

I don't know what kind of reaction this child will have when he finds out.

Xu Mu thought for a moment and said with a smile:

"But if your master is indeed a Demon Sect Shaozun, but you don't kill them, what should you do?"

"Huh?"

Zhao Chen was stunned, scratched his head, and laughed dryly:

"Master is extremely smart, why didn't he kill them, how do I know?"

“…… I don't know what he's looking for about you. ”

Xu Mu sighed, feeling that Zhao Chen was straightforward by nature, except for working hard when he was practicing, he was a little ignorant at other times.

But he was able to get the favor of a master like Jiang Ran and be included under the door wall.

It's really a blessing from heaven.

The heart of envy is crazy.

To be honest, if Jiang Ran is willing to nod, Xu Mudu will bow if he wants to.

But at his age, he turned to Jiang Ran as his teacher, and Shen Tulie was afraid of death.

In the battle on the outskirts of the capital that day, Jiang Ran just casually pointed out a few words, and Shen Tulie hated to kill himself on the spot...... If this thing becomes true, Shen Tulie estimates that he really doesn't want to live.

Thinking of this, Xu Mu sighed, blaming himself for being too young at the time, accepting disciples early, and now he has to be timid in doing things.

A few people spoke casually, and they entered Yunhe Ridge.

After going around again, a cottage appeared in front of them a moment later.

Changgong Village!

The eldest princess.

The name of this cottage almost wrote out all the three words of the eldest princess.

"I don't know if the eldest princess can think that after hearing about this cottage, it is we who occupy the mountain here?"

Wang Jingyuan is still a little entangled when he talks about this:

"I don't know if the eldest princess knows, how will our gang react if they have fallen into the grass?"

Xu Mu touched his bare chin, thought for a while and said:

"I think it's a bit hanging, no matter how it sounds, it's like a cottage built by a person surnamed Changgong."

“…… Is there a surname Changgong? ”

"Don't have a surname or something?"

Xu Mu shook his head:

"There is no amorphous surname in the world, and there are many people who change their names and surnames for various reasons.

"What is being chased and killed by the enemy, hiding from powerful characters or forces, having no choice but to change his name and surname, having children, and never telling his children what his real surname is until he dies.

"A lot of inexplicable surnames have been handed down like this......"

“……”

Wang Jingyuan suddenly had a sense of crisis:

"If it doesn't work, why don't you change it again?"

"Don't toss, a copycat name, you've changed it seven or eight times...... Tired or not.

"You're not tired, the brother who can carve the plaque is about to die of crying.

"I saw him finish carving the plaque two days ago, and there were seven or eight more big cuts on his hands, and the blood was leaking out from under the bandaged white cloth.

"It's miserable...... You'd better rest for two days, at least when the opening on his hand grows. ”

Zhao Chen hurriedly spoke to persuade.

Wang Jingyuan hesitated for a while, but still nodded:

"Then it's good to talk about ......"

At this point, he suddenly frowned slightly:

"No, why did you come to this point and not see anyone?"

Xu Muer's roots moved:

"There was a fight...... Not good! Yi Canghui!! ”

He suddenly looked up and stepped a little:

"I'll go first!!"

Wang Jingyuan's heart jumped, and he glanced at Zhao Chen:

"Let's go!!"

The two of them immediately quickened their pace and strode forward, and after a while, they had already arrived at a hidden place in the cottage.

It's going to be overcrowded here.

Many people were lying on the ground, spurting blood from their mouths, and others were bandaging them.

It is unclear whether there were any casualties.

Looking up again, I saw Yu slowly, Xu Mu and they were joining hands to hand over to Yi Cangxi!

……

……

ps: It's still not entirely good, but I can still write two chapters by gritting my teeth......
