Troubled Times Chapter 16 The rivers and lakes dominate Emperor Wu City!

Outside Liutian City, on a deserted dirt road, Wang Jia, a disciple of the Liutian Sect, fell to the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

Jiang Buwei's breathing was slightly short, and he looked at the soldiers and horses blocking the road in front of him calmly.

The first person is a thousand-household official wearing a blue and green brocade robe, and wearing a gold lacquer mountain armor inside.

The Wupin military attache is already in charge of the military power of a state capital, Jiang Buwei knows this person, he is not the military attache of the Qianhu of Lanyin Mansion, but the capital of Hongyin Mansion, Lu Tongchun.

"Lu Qianhu, I've been chasing the old man all night, forcing the old man here, what do you want!"

For Lu Tongchun, Jiang Buwei is very jealous, although this person is a small thousand households, but his cultivation is extremely high, and his backer is not trivial.

Lu Tongchun was a burly middle-aged man, riding on a red high-headed horse, looking at Jiang Buwei condescendingly.

"Ben Qianhu admires you as a senior, and you have already retired to the mountains and forests for many years, so I will say it directly, turn around and leave, don't drip the muddy waters of Tiancheng, you can enjoy your old age in peace!"

Jiang Buwei was angry when he heard this, and couldn't help but scold angrily: "The old man is the Supreme Elder of the Liutian Sect, how can he stand by and watch!" As a military attache of the imperial court, why do you want to get involved in our martial arts! ”

Lu Tongchun was not angered by these words, but looked at Jiang Buwei with a suspicious face and asked:

"The fact that this Qianhu is a disciple of Emperor Martial Emperor City, Senior Jiang shouldn't know it, why do you still say such childish words! Ben Qianhu doesn't like nonsense, Emperor Wu City hopes that the Jianghu forces of the two prefectures of Lanyin Mansion and Hongyin Mansion will merge, as for who swallows whom between you, Ben Qianhu doesn't care. ”

After a pause, Lu Tongchun shook the saber on his waist and continued: "But right now, the Kun Li Sect has the upper hand, and the other four sects of the Lan Yin Mansion have all been merged into the Kun Li Sect, and only you are left with the Liutian Sect. It's just that the other sects are not as deep as your Liutian Sect, especially you, Senior Jiang, you can change the situation alone, so I naturally can't let you spoil that. ”

Jiang Buwei frowned deeply, but he didn't expect that it was originally just a battle between the two sects, but now it has become a troublesome situation for the imperial court to intervene.

Although Emperor Wu City is one of the righteous sects, it is equivalent to a lackey of the imperial court, no wonder this Lu Tongchun will personally take action, he is a disciple of Emperor Wu City!

"What if the old man doesn't agree!" Jiang Buwei's momentum skyrocketed, and his eyes looked at Lu Tongchun on the tall horse.

Lu Tongchun didn't seem to be surprised by Jiang Buwei's attitude at all, he just said lightly:

"Then you can try, or slaughter a hundred of my men, and then behead me under the horse. But at that time, the Liutian Sect was not annexed, but purged! ”

Hearing this, Jiang Buwei's surging momentum was like a deflated balloon, and it collapsed all at once.

Jiang Buwei's originally ruddy face instantly turned pale.

Seeing this, Lu Tongchun smiled and said, "Actually, there is still a way for seniors to choose. ”

Jiang Buwei's face was cold, his eyes were full of cold light, and he swept over Lu Tongchun without saying a word.

Lu Tongchun's body leaned forward slightly, and he slowly pressed down with a power like a mountain.

He said with a smile that made Jiang not change color: "If the seniors are willing to persuade your juniors and nephews, think about their own net worth and life." Maybe you can also set up a hall in the Kunli Sect, and it will save you from being separated from the same sect. ”

"What's more, it can save me a lot of sins!"

When the words fell, Jiang Buwei's face changed drastically.

Lu Tongchun's words can already be regarded as a threat.

In Lu Tongchun's consciousness, Jiang Buwei is at most a Dacheng peak martial artist, and he himself is also a Dacheng martial artist.

Although it is inferior, it is impossible for Jiang Buwei to kill him within a few moves, and there are more than 100 soldiers behind him, and they are all wearing battle armor.

Ordinary martial arts masters are not in their eyes.

It's a pity that Lu Tongchun's information was not updated in time, or he couldn't have imagined that Jiang Buwei, who had half a foot in the coffin, would be able to go one step further at the last moment of his life.

If he knew, he wouldn't be so arrogant and domineering, directly threatening a martial artist who has stepped out of the pinnacle of Dacheng.

Immediately after his words, Lu Tongchun said softly, a word that only Lu Tongchun and Jiang Buwei can hear, this is a secret from the Wudi City case library, if you want to stimulate Jiang Buwei, you have to rely on this sentence.

Wu Fu was furious, and blood splattered five steps.

This kind of thing is very appropriate for a fledgling young martial artist, but Jiang Buwei, as an old-timer, has already begun to cultivate his self-cultivation, otherwise he will often be enthusiastic and his life will not be long.

But at this moment, in the face of the threat of a junior, Jiang Buwei felt the long-lost qi and blood, his face was slightly red, Lu Tongchun suddenly felt bad, a killing intent came to his face, a cold wind was blowing, and a cold intent emanated from the depths of his bone marrow from the inside out.

"Kill!" Before he could drink a word, Lu Tongchun controlled the red horse man under the seat to stand up, this excellent war horse neighed miserably, a large piece of red splashed out of its chest, and the red light flashed in the blood, which was Jiang Buwei's red eyes.

Lu Tongchun no longer cared about his beloved horse, and did not hesitate to slap his palm on the horse's back, and the flesh and bones were broken at the slap, and the muscles and flesh were cracked.

Dacheng above!

This was Lu Tongchun's judgment, so he did not hesitate to retreat again and again, the hundred horses separated from his side, he kept retreating, and the hundred horses charged frantically.

Although the charging distance is only a few tens of meters, the power has been small, these are the best soldiers in the army, the soldiers of a hundred battles, and they are the most elite soldiers under Lu Tongchun. A qualified cavalryman is enough to deliver a blow from a small martial artist at a sufficient charging distance, even if he is just an ordinary soldier with no cultivation. If this creep has a deep internal force, then the power of this blow will be even stronger.

The hundred cavalry under the command of Lu Tongchun did not have a strong cavalry with internal strength, the poor were rich in martial arts, and the martial arts people were either well-off or did all kinds of evil, and there was never such a thing as a poor person practicing martial arts to get ahead. Although none of the hundred horsemen is a real martial arts practitioner, but the hundred people charge together, and at this time, everyone's attack power can reach a level close to the Xiaocheng realm, even if it is a Dacheng martial artist, they have to avoid its edge.

And this is also the main reason why the martial arts people can only use force to violate the ban forever, and cannot overthrow the imperial court.

The Zhengyang Empire only needs 10,000 iron horsemen to step on the martial arts, and trample the entire martial arts under the horse's hooves. The status of martial arts has only reached such a point after two huge events have been improved, which can be described as an extremely rare heyday in history.

Hundreds of horsemen set out, the horses' hooves were like thunder, under such a majesty, Lu Tongchun thought that even if there were ten, he couldn't stop him and couldn't escape. But he doesn't think that the old man can't do it, Dacheng is called the grandmaster, that is a completely different realm, and it is the grandmaster who takes the head of the enemy in the army.

So he retreated again and again, until the last rode by, and he turned at once, and there was already the dull sound of his armor being struck, and the mournful neighing of his horse, and the sound of his body being cut apart by sharp objects, like evil spirits, and he himself seemed to be standing on the edge of the abyss, and the evil spirits were about to crawl out of the abyss.

The great fear completely enveloped him at the moment, he ran with all his might, one step and dozens of meters, this was his limit, but he was still breaking through his limit.

Zhongpin Dacheng, this is Lu Tongchun's exact cultivation, his talent is already good when he is over thirty, but at this moment he is sad, and he can't help but have a lot of thoughts on the way to escape, the first time he has the feeling that no matter how strong his strength is, it is better to have 10,000 iron horses.

If he has 10,000 horses in his hand at this moment, what about the grandmaster, the grandmaster can come and go freely among the ten thousand armies, but it is still wishful thinking to be hard.

Thinking like this, Lu Tongchun went against his hundred horsemen, going farther and farther.

When Baiqi burned out under the anger of the grandmaster, Jiang Buwei's red eyes gradually recovered, and his eyes were full of remorse.

Decades of Qing cultivation still can't take away the blood in his bones, and now his wanton killing is finally sending Liutianzong to the point of no return.

Wang Jia on the side had woken up at this moment, but he was already stunned at this time.

Jiang Buwei turned around and looked at Wang Jia, who subconsciously shrank back.

An executioner who kills people without blinking an eye and slashes people like chopping vegetables can't be involved with his immortal uncle and ancestor, he, a bold and careful man, is extremely afraid.

But fortunately, Jiang Buwei quickly hid the killing intent on his body, and just looked at his juniors with a sad face, and he smiled bitterly and said:

"We're afraid we'll never go back."

After that, Jiang Buwei mentioned the burly Wang Jia, and walked the way he started to come and go, but his destination was no longer Qingfeng Pavilion, nor was it Liutian City. Wang Jia didn't dare to ask or say for some reason, so he could only continue to pretend to be dead, anyway, he was prostrated and weak, as long as he relaxed his mind, he could fall asleep.

In the winter of Zhengyang 465, there were less than ten days before the New Year.

In the Holy Sect's secret investigation team, Liu Xin waited for two days, and finally ushered in his senior brother, who was also the strongest combat power possessed by the Holy Sect in this Heavenly City.

The person who came was an inner brother of the Tianzi generation, and Liu Xin had met a few times when he was young.

This person's name is Fang Qiong, and his arrival did not bring good news to Liu Xin, but a series of bad news, which made Liu Xin's face suddenly collapse.

Fang Qiong is a square-faced young man, as his name suggests, Fang Fang's national character face, speaking in a neutral manner, and he did not show too much closeness to Liu Xin as an inner disciple, but instead looked like he was doing business.

"I received a secret order from the Holy Sect, there are two in total, one of which is related to you, Senior Brother Liu, and it is the first three secret order issued by the sect master himself!"

Liu Xinyan immediately bowed, he came out this time to hide from his master, thinking that his old man must be angry, he was a little weak in his heart.

"You get up first, you'll talk about it last!"

Liu Xingang was ready to listen to what order his master had given him, maybe a few angry reprimands, or maybe some concern. Unexpectedly, this Senior Brother Fang Qiong actually planned to do this, letting him waste this worship in vain, but he couldn't say anything. Among the Holy Sects, the disciples of the Tianzi generation are one level higher than the disciples of the earthly generation, this is an iron law, even if it is the senior brother of the earthly generation, it is useless, who told others to start more than ten years earlier than you.

"Yes!" Liu Xin could only compliment.

Fang Qiong didn't raise his eyes, and continued: "Holy Sect A Secret Order..."

Liu Xin looked up in astonishment, and actually had a secret order, which showed that this matter was related to the great plan of the sect.

The secret orders of the Holy Sect are divided into three levels according to their ranks, with the highest being Class A, which can only be used by the elders of the inner gate and above. The first one, the second and the third subdivide the importance of the secret order, of which the first one is the highest, and it is a secret order related to the life and death of the sect.

At this time, Tang Jie, the leader of the Holy Sect's secret investigation team, was also there, and he was the only member of the secret investigation team who could listen to secret orders here.

He also held his breath at this time, ready to listen carefully to Fang Qiong's next words.

Fang Qiong coughed lightly and said slowly: "The Holy Sect has a secret order: all members of the secret investigation team are silent and are not allowed to pry. All the members above the team leader went to the holy mountain and obeyed the orders. ”

This news is quite ordinary for Liu Xin, but for Tang Jie, it is simply a big event that turns the world upside down, he has served in the secret investigation team for almost his whole life, and now he is asked to return to the Holy Sect to report on his work, which has never appeared in the hundred years history of the Holy Sect.

After Fang Qiong finished speaking the secret order, the text on this secret order is not allowed to be changed by a single word, but there will be some additions from word of mouth, so Fang Qiong continued: "The news I got is that the Holy Sect seems to be shrinking the size of the secret investigation team, and there will be no more secret investigation teams at the level of the prefecture city from now on, Team Leader Tang, not only you, but even I will be arranged separately." However, with Team Leader Tang's qualifications, he must still serve in the secret investigation team, so rest assured. ”

Tang Jie looked lost and depressed, and he was speechless for a while.

Fang Qiong knew that Tang Jie had dedicated his life to the secret investigation team, and with such a drastic change, he wanted to digest it well, so he looked at Liu Xin and said slowly:

"There are some things I want to make clear to you before I talk about your secret order."

Not knowing what Fang Qiong was talking about, Liu Xin replied respectfully: "Senior Brother Fang, please speak." ”

Fang Qiong glanced at Tang Jie meaningfully, Tang Jie understood, and left slowly, and when Tang Jie walked away, Fang Qiong continued:

"I know why you're here, and you've also used the authority of the first three secret orders of your own disciples. But this time, I dismissed it for you. ”

As an inner disciple above the secret investigation team, Fang Qiong has this qualification, but this makes Liu Xin particularly puzzled, he was suddenly in a hurry, but seeing Fang Qiong pressing his hand, he signaled Liu Xin not to worry, and he himself continued:

"You don't have to worry, I rejected your secret permission, I just don't want your permission to be wasted."

Liu Xin seemed to have an idea, and hurriedly asked, "Senior Brother Fang, could it be that something happened here in Kunli Sect?" ”

Fang Qiong nodded and said, "That's right, just before I came, I got a piece of news, at this time, it is estimated that there are already five thousand iron cavalry plus ten thousand armor soldiers surrounding this Heavenly City. ”

Liu Xin was shocked and couldn't help asking: "Why is this?" ”

Some disbelief appeared on Fang Qiong's face, and he said slowly: "It is said that it was the Supreme Elder of the Liutian Sect who killed the hundred cavalry of the Red Yin Mansion. The Hongyin Mansion was the capital of Qianhu Lu Tongchun and fled for his life, and the government checked and really found the corpses of the 100 cavalrymen, 100 people did not survive, and there were more than 30 horizontal corpses of war horses. I still can't figure out how an old-timer who has been cultivating himself for decades could do such a ridiculous thing. ”

Liu Xin is also puzzled, but what does this have to do with Kun Lizong, a sect that is related to the evil sect, it should be a good thing for the military to come forward, and it is right to directly break the Kun Li Sect.

But Fang Qiong's next words made Liu Xin's heart confused.

"I know what you're thinking, the Liutian Sect is destroyed in Jiang Buwei's hands, no wonder Kun Lizong will temporarily stop fighting, it is estimated that Jiang Buwei's actions are indispensable behind this matter. And Kun Lizong will not be punished in any way, because Kun Lizong is originally related to Emperor Wu City.

This time, the one who led the troops to come was Shangguan Ba, the young city lord of Emperor Wu City.

The reason behind the Holy Sect's order to let the secret investigation team shrink is also because of Emperor Wu City.

The Wulin rivers and lakes are about to usher in a huge change, and the first three secret order given to you by the sect master is for me to take you back.

I know you care about your sister and that young master of the evil sect, they should have received a similar order, the lord of the evil sect will not let his only son and beloved disciple be exposed to the eyes of Shangguan Ba, this is a martial arts overlord who has become a climate! ”

"And!"

Fang Qiong glanced at Liu Xin, who was in shock, and didn't know if he could listen to it, so he said in a hurry: "You must not be willing to let you go back like this, so I also did some research and told you that it might make you feel better."

Regarding the Liutian Sect, when Jiang Buwei's actions reached the Liutian City, a mournful cry came from the Liutian Pavilion, and then the seventy-three people of the Liutian Sect led by the head Jing Shenghan, Li Jian and others apologized for their crimes. ”

Liu Xin's eyes widened suddenly, Jing Shenghan and the others were not wrong as far as he knew, they still met the standards of righteous martial arts people, but why did this group of people suddenly apologize, what kind of crime? What are their sins!

"Are they being murdered, deliberately disguised..."

"Definitely!"

Fang Qiong's eyes only then did there be a trace of senior brother's love for his junior brother, although this junior brother is the sect master's personal inheritance, and he is also a senior disciple of the word generation, he has already picked up a lot of burden on his shoulders at a young age, but after all, he is still too young, when will the martial arts rivers and lakes be so simple.

"I've seen it myself, it's all self-inflicted, and there is absolutely no other power. Unless they all fell for evil, there was no way for so many masters to pretend to be suicide. ”

After a pause, Fang Qiong suddenly sighed and continued to help her junior brother explain:

"Although these people, including the head Jing Shenghan, have both prospered and lost their lives with the Liutian Sect, what they have lost is only their own lives. They all have families, and there is a family behind them, and if they continue to resist, they may be able to seek justice, but their bet has changed from one of their own lives to a few or more lives of their family. If it were you, would you take your loved ones with you to bury them in one go? ”

“...”

Liu Xin suddenly lowered his head and wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth but didn't spit out a word, he himself was an orphan, but he could imagine how he would choose if his parents were still alive, or if he still had brothers and sisters, in this situation.

But apologizing for his sins was still difficult for him to accept. Especially the Righteous Pathfall, the evil demon has had a great impact on his values. He has a self-confidence, since he became the senior brother of the Holy Sect, he can accomplish one thing with his own efforts.

But that self-confidence has suddenly taken a heavy hit today.

Fang Qiong glanced at the sluggish Liu Xin and continued, he didn't intend to enlighten Liu Xin, he just needed to inform Liu Xin of some news, how could the sect master be so easy to pass on.

"The low-level disciples of the Liutian Sect have all been disbanded, or they have been taken under the command of the Kun Li Sect.

The five tigers will be labeled as evil demons, the whereabouts of the golden tiger are unknown, and the sword tiger has lost too much blood and died not far outside the Qingfeng Pavilion when it was discovered, and it is estimated that Jiang did not do anything. On the way to escape, Shadow Tiger was chased and intercepted by Kunli Sect Eight Vajra, and finally died at the hands of King Kong.

Before the White Tiger died in the military array outside the city, Shangguan Ba personally took action, and he only knew the life of this Dacheng Realm martial artist with just a bow and an arrow, but the Red Flame Tiger disappeared without a trace, but it was also on the wanted warrant.

By the way, the remains of these people who committed suicide in the Liutian faction were cleaned up for them that night. Finally, it won't expose the corpse wilderness, and there is an end, hey..."

After talking about the things in Liutian City, seeing that Liu Xin was still silent, Fang Qiong stopped saying nothing and just left silently.

Three days later, Tang Jie had already arranged everything in the secret investigation team, and embarked on the road back to the Holy Sect with Fang Qiong and Liu Xin.

In the early morning, standing outside the gate of Liutian City, I felt the atmosphere here that was no different from a few days ago, but the disciples of the Liutian Sect chatting on the city wall had disappeared without a trace, and even the martial arts disciples were gone, and some were just armor soldiers standing tall in armor.

Seeing this, Fang Qiong said softly: "All the order of the martial arts has been easily disrupted, the imperial court borrowed the Martial Emperor City as a sword and axe in its hand, and easily disintegrated the martial arts forces, and the martial arts are about to be in chaos!" ”

Liu Xin was silent.

But just as the three of them were about to turn around and leave, there was a sudden commotion in the city gate behind them, and then two black-clothed figures quickly moved sideways in the city gate, and behind them were several martial arts masters, one of whom had no hair on his head, reflecting the essence of light in the sunlight, and it was King Kong who was sentenced to death.

The two black-clothed men who fled in front of them were extremely fast, as if they were Dacheng realm cultivators, and there were many people in the city gate, and it was not easy to fire the stone bullet in the hand of King Kong when he was sentenced to death. Under the blue sky and white sun, as the right path, he can't kill without scruples. Therefore, it also gave the two men in black in front of him the opportunity and space to escape.

The man in black had a clear goal, and when he got out of the city gate, he split into two and went in two directions, and King Kong chased one of them and happened to bump into Liu Xin head-on. Sentenced to death, King Kong passed by Liu Xin without the slightest pause, and chased after the man in black closely.

Looking at the backs of several people, Liu Xin wiped the cold sweat from his palms, just a moment, King Kong should have recognized him, but he didn't come over to make things difficult, it seems that the man in black is more important than him.

"I don't know what's going on in the city." Not far from Liu Xin, a peasant who had just come out of the city was talking to a woodcutter with a straw pole in his mouth.

The woodcutter turned his head to look around, and whispered to the peasant with a mysterious look:

"I heard that there were bandits in the city last night, and many people died in the Heavenly Pavilion."

"Ah, aren't all the disciples of the Liutian Sect in the Liutian Pavilion disbanded, how can they still die, I was still talking to my mother-in-law in the morning that it might be accepted by the government as a county office." Nong Han looked incredulous.

But the woodcutter looked at Nong Han with disdain and said: "You are really lonely and unheard, there is already another group of martial arts heroes living in the Liutian Pavilion, if you want me to say that these bandits last night must be the disciples of the Liutian faction, they will be dissatisfied with the occupancy of the magpie's nest by the dove, and it is also the right thing to take revenge." ”

"Alas, this group of martial arts people, it's not easy to live, what's the point of fighting and killing every day."

The two gradually walked away, but they didn't know that the soft voice they thought was extremely clear in the ears of the deaf and clear-eyed martial arts master.

"The two black-clothed figures just now look like the body methods of the evil sect..."Fang Qiong said softly.

Liu Xin's vision was not as wide as his senior brother, but when he heard Fang Qiong say this, he couldn't help but have some conjectures in his heart.

"Young Master of the Evil Sect!"

It's Xuesheng! He must have let the masters of the evil sect make a move. Liu Xin looked at the man in black who disappeared in the distance, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart, he was helpless about this matter, and in the end, he actually let the people in the demon path take action, what is this!
