Chapter 52: Rivals
The two cooperated very tacitly, Zhou Wenjun led his men to cut off the back road of the group, Song Bingzhu and the guys of the Fu'an Inn pursued, and the two drove them into a valley to intercept them. The two of them combined were only a few dozen people. It was quite laborious to besiege and kill more than 100 disciples, and the two sides fought in the dark. After killing for a day and a night, and then at dawn and dawn, this group of disciples was almost cleaned up. The Beichen family was originally just disintegrated, and most of the children and capable people are still there. After this incident, this is considered to be completely extinct, and the word Beichen on the rivers and lakes no longer exists.
Beichenyuan was not very surprised to receive the news, he didn't look at this group of jumping clowns, but he was using them as swordsmen. I just think it's a pity, if only I could follow Beichen's aftermath to teach some lessons to the stubborn little ghosts of my Dao Sect. Who would have thought that this group of disciples would not be able to use the Tao to this point, I really don't know what Beichen relied on to gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes, looking at the entire family, Beichen Qu can handle it. No wonder after he died, the Beichen family would fall so quickly.
Looking at the news from his subordinates, he impatiently let go of Mu Qiubai's hand on his shoulder, looking at the dancing candle flame, his eyes gloomy. Now it's okay, Yan Shi and his gang are not only unscathed, but also famous in the rivers and lakes out of thin air. There is no lack of resentment against Beichen on the rivers and lakes, and now that the Daoist Sect has destroyed them, not only can they establish their prestige at once, but they can also recruit the chivalrous warriors who have been grudging with the Beichen family for a long time.
Liang Jian and Yan Shi didn't enjoy the joy for long, although this battle was won, there was still a very serious issue to consider. The current Beichen Yuan has gradually become a huge obstacle for them, and it is necessary to take advantage of his fledgling wings to destroy him as soon as possible.
————————
Time flies, it's the end of November. The weather is getting cooler, and although the floods have passed, they have caused untold suffering. Famine is now widespread due to the failure of the grain harvest in various places. Fu'an inns in various places have been transformed, and the service customers have shifted from the rich to the poor. It was originally a place where dignitaries and wealthy businessmen gathered, but now it has become the last hope of the hungry. In addition to part of the money earned by the inn over the years to maintain its operation and use it as a reserve fund, the rest is used to buy coarse grains and miscellaneous grains to ensure that people barely have enough food and clothing. The Huangfu family, the Song family, and Beichen Min and Beichen Yue also tried their best to participate in the disaster relief work, busy before and after, and contributed money and food, but it was still a drop in the bucket.
As for the imperial court, King Rui originally won a large amount of disaster relief food and relief funds from the emperor. But for some reason, the emperor seemed to have listened to someone's slander and suddenly repented and deducted half. In order to keep the few relief materials and avoid being detained by the group of moths below, he was personally escorted to the affected areas by King Rui and his cronies.
"King Rui has been assassinated again." Zhou Wenjun looked at the secret letter he had just sent and frowned, this was the third time he had been assassinated this month.
King Rui escorted the grain all the way to the most severely affected area of Yuzhou, which is a large grain-producing county, and usually mainly depends on selling grain for a living. But this year's torrential rains have led to no harvest in that area, and there is no money to buy without food, and the famine is the most severe. People will always do crazy things in desperate situations, and along the way, many people will rob disaster relief food and want to keep it for themselves. Therefore, King Rui was assassinated several times, but fortunately he had many secret guards to follow, and the imperial court also sent many soldiers to escort him all the way.
Liang Jian came back from practicing the sword, a layer of fine sweat appeared on her head, she pushed open the door and said slightly panting, "There are rumors outside now, all of them are building momentum for Beichen Yuan." ”
"What?!" Zhou Wenjun was so frightened that he slapped the table, it is not that he has heard these rumors in the past few days, but they are rising in various places. Now that it has spread to Kyoto, it means that this rumor has spread everywhere.
Liang Jian sat down and wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, Yan Shi followed, he carried a bag of things, and walked slowly, "What are you doing running so fast, look at you running sweaty." As he spoke, he put down the bag of elbow meat, which was still a little warm, and sat down slowly.
"Why don't you seem to be in a hurry?" Song Bingzhu looked at him with a light and breezy appearance, as if the mess outside was not a big deal.
"Is it useful to be in a hurry?" Yan Shi picked up a pair of chopsticks and elbow meat to feed Liang Jian, and saw that she didn't seem to be in the mood to eat, so she ate it herself.
Those rumors are nothing more than that when the emperor was unkind, the gods in the sky couldn't stand it and sent down heavenly punishments, and Beichenyuan became famous overnight, and he was the savior sent by God. Yan Shi looked at their uneasy looks and said, "Beichen Yuan is a little strange these days, Ah Jian and I plan to go to Hengtian Sect to observe." ”
Song Bingzhu was silent, frowned for a long time, and then secretly analyzed, "Beichen Yuan's move is undoubtedly looking for death, he wants to rise up, and he has to see if the emperor agrees." To incite the people, can the court still tolerate him? ”
"It's hard to say, it's an eventful time, the famine has made life difficult, and now the people urgently need someone who can turn the tide and save them. And Beichen Yuan's momentum at this time is just right, plus he now has mastered the Hengtian Sect, and with such a big tree back, he doesn't have to worry about attracting believers. She took a deep breath, calmed down, and then calmly analyzed, "There is much more to worry about, if he really succeeds, then there will be more opportunistic people willing to risk the crime of killing their heads to revolt, and then it will really be called chaos in the world." ”
"Yes, so let's get going." Yan Shi swallowed the piece of elbow meat in his mouth, wiped his mouth, and said softly. Saying such urgent words in a nonchalant tone, he was really not in a hurry.
"I always feel that this Beichen Yuan is a little weird, and I can't underestimate the enemy." Liang Jian looks like a great enemy, in the original novel, Beichenyuan is only active within the scope of the rivers and lakes at most, and the final finale is just to become the leader of the martial arts alliance and live a life of hugging left and right. Except for the county lord of Yunrou, he has hardly set foot in the imperial court in his life, and for some reason he directly began to rebel this time.
Is it because she doesn't follow the plot line that causes the plot to shift? She was just about to think about it, but Lao Yan stuffed her elbow, the skin of the elbow was crispy, the meat inside was soft and rotten, and the marinade was just right. She was startled, chewed and raised her eyes to look at Yan Shi. He raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of calculation and confidence, and the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, as if he was thinking of something interesting.
Liang Jian frowned, looking at the distance stunned, the materials for converting the male protagonist are not yet ready, to change the aura of the protagonist of Beichen Yuan, you must collect the blood of the harem group, and then use this blood to draw an extinction array, this is to completely sever the connection between the characters, according to the parchment scroll, although the red line is broken, as long as the characters' love brains play a role, the red line is still possible to reconnect, so it is necessary to completely cut off the male protagonist's back road.
The blood has been almost collected. In the book, the male protagonist's harem has her, Shi Zhaozhao, Xie Yaohuan, Beichenyue, Yun Rou, and the two daughters of Elder Yuhua of Hengtianzong who have just been attracted by the male protagonist recently, Mu Qiuyue and Mu Qiubai, Bai Yueguang Shen Yuanzhi, who surprised the male protagonist before he appeared in the finale. Mu Qiuyue and Mu Qiubai are more tricky, they follow the male protagonist every day, it's not easy to start, if you rush to get blood, you will startle the snake; There is also Shen Yuanzhi, this is a character who only appeared in nearly three-quarters of the book, but the male protagonist was seriously injured against the villain, that is, Shen Tu Lingaka Yanshi, and was about to fail, who knew that Shen Yuanzhi was like falling from the sky, no one knew where she came from, even Xuanwumen couldn't find out that there was such a person in the world. No one knows why she wants to help the male protagonist, only that she is cold and alienated, rejecting people thousands of miles away, but she has a good face for the male protagonist. (It is estimated that the author wrote a collapse.,The villain was shaped too badly in the early stage.,The more you write in the later stage, the more wrong it becomes.,In the end, you can only open the plug-in.,As for why this plug-in is set to be a woman?) Because she is the male protagonist's harem group, people who are so powerful to her have come to post the male protagonist upside down, how charming the male protagonist must be. If it's a man, I'm afraid that book fans will feel uncomfortable and climb the wall, and then it will affect the charm of the male protagonist).
Anyway, the final ending is that Shen Yuanzhi is like opening a golden finger, and he overturns the villain at once. Then the male protagonist supported the male protagonist to dominate the martial arts, married Bai Fumei Group, and went to the top. What's ridiculous is that the author of this stallion also wrote an extra, and the male protagonist's harem has expanded to more than 100 people. are all his fan sisters, the male protagonist sings every night, so unhappy. It's just that this author suddenly disappeared for some reason, otherwise with his urine, this would be enough to reopen a book.
digression, the most important thing now is to get the blood of the two sisters of the Mu family and Shen Yuanzhi, and you have to do it on the statutory holidays in the background, because at that time, the backstage will stop working and enter a dormant state, and you will not find out or thwart their plans. The next holiday is next month, and the National Day is a three-day holiday, and they have to get things done in those three days.
Just where are you going to find Shen Yuanzhi?!
————————
After thinking about it, Liang Jian decided to start with the Mu family sisters first, after all, it was certain that only the two of them were left.
Hengtianzong is far away from Kyoto, and it is no wonder that Beichen Yuan dares to be so presumptuous, that is, he is sure that the imperial court is now busy with his relatives and dealing with the disaster victims, and he has no hands to clean him up. Also, the imperial court is now in a hurry, the emperor has been fighting for many years, and now that the war has been lost, he has to pay a lot of silver; Last year's disaster relief cost a lot of money, and this year's disaster relief will not be able to collect much tax, and in addition, there will inevitably be a few rats and insects in the national treasury, which will lead to a serious deficit in the national treasury this year. Such a court is like a plate of loose sand, which can be dispersed without the wind of Beichenyuan.
Yan Shi and Liang Jian looked at the victims who were complaining along the way, and they realized that their opportunity was coming. The dormant and conspiracy of the past few years is about to decide the winner, but now we must first solve the huge variable of Beichen Yuan.
The two of them hurried for more than ten days before they arrived at Hengtianzong, and they first stayed at a nearby inn, not in a hurry to face Beichen Yuan, so as not to startle the snake.
After making up their minds, the two of them rested for a while, rested for the night, and waited until the middle of the day before they decided to leave.
This time, Beichen Yuan became smarter, and expected the two of them to come. As a result, the vigilance at night was strengthened, and Heng Tianzong was even brighter at night, making it inconvenient to do it, so he could only wait for daytime. On duty at night, you will be tired, and your vigilance during the day is easy to relax, and today there are a large number of Jianghu wanderers who defect to Hengtian Sect, and it is easier to mix in when there are many people.
Yan Shi pulled Liang Jian to look at it, looking like a middle-aged aunt, her face was blackened, looking at her rough skin and suffering from the years, with a very thick whip. He himself is disguised as a middle-aged uncle, with a scruffy beard and a rather sloppy look, holding a thick wooden stick as a weapon.
"This disguise really doesn't even recognize my own mother." Liang Jian looked in the mirror, looked left and right, and couldn't see his original face at all, even if he stood in front of Beichen Yuan, he would definitely not recognize it.
"Not really." Yan Shi's face was full of pride, his waist crossed, and his complacent spirit was overflowing. As he spoke, he took out a wooden hairpin and inserted it in her hair as if he were playing a trick, and the hairpin was carved with flowing clouds and wild cranes, which looked particularly exquisite, "The hairpin is a sword, and you can defend yourself at a critical moment." ”
"When are you ......?" Liang Jian looked at the delicate hairpin in her hair with great surprise, and couldn't put it down and touched the wild crane and auspicious cloud pattern on it, the texture was very good, and suddenly she pulled out the hairpin, and a small sword inside was sharp and glowing with silver light. She tried it, and it was very convenient, and it felt good, and she couldn't see it at all when she inserted it back, just an ordinary hairpin. suddenly remembered that Zhou Wenjun said that he would make her a hairpin sword before, and then remembered that Yan Shi received a secret letter yesterday, and he looked a little bulging. She turned around with a smile and asked, "Did you send it from Wenjun, her hand is skillful, I ...... it"
"I did it." Yan Shi was a little speechless, his face was dark and dark, thinking of the hairpin he had secretly carved these days, and he had fed the dog with all his hard work. He didn't understand, Liang Jian and Zhou Wenjun were together before and after, and it was only a month to be full, and in just one month, did the relationship between the two of them be so good? !
“…… Thank you!!! After a short embarrassment for three seconds, Liang Jian held the hairpin and said very excitedly, her expression was happier than just now, the air was full of joy, she held the hairpin and said, "I suddenly feel that this hairpin is heavier and more beautiful than just now." How can I be lucky enough to get such a good hairpin, who made it for me, oh, it's my love! Her tone was extremely pretentious, and her expression was extremely exaggerated.
"Disgusting." Yan Yi pinned his fingers to her face, saying disgust, but the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and his mood was much better.
In the middle of the day, there were indeed many scattered rangers who entered Hengtian Sect, and Liang Jian and Yan Shi took the opportunity to blend in and went in with them. This group of people gathered together in the Hengtian Sect Matching Hall. Liang Jian looked up at this palace, this side hall is as luxurious and magnificent as the ordinary main hall, and it is splendid. It is worthy of being one of the best sects in the rivers and lakes, and it must have accumulated a lot of money over the years, and yesterday Wen Jun sent over the rough investigation results. Over the years, Heng Tianzong has collected money in the name of accepting apprentices and in the name of collecting protection fees.
This isn't a sect, this is an underworld force, right?! It also collects protection money, which is really amazing.
Liang Jian was bored and observed, and when he was really bored, he pulled Yan Shi aside to eavesdrop on other people's chats, and maybe he could capture some key information.
"You said we wouldn't be late, I said I was going to come over half a month ago, you have to wait and see what the situation breaks." One was dressed in a blue coarse cloth shirt, with a sledgehammer in his hand, a cloth tied to his wrist, and a black dragon tattooed on his arm. Liang Jian didn't worry about hearing clearly, and even felt noisy.
She knew her, and she had seen him on the list of heroes in the rivers and lakes before, ranking forty-seventh, known as the evil Jiao Chen Batian, brave and powerful, relying on a hammer to kill a piece of the sky. It is said that he once washed the entire black village of human trafficking overnight, a total of 56 people, all of them are vigorous outlaws, he can kill them all, I have to say that he is a powerful person.
"It seems that this Hengtian Sect still has something, and such a powerful person can attract it." Liang Jian couldn't help but sigh, even if he was the number one person in the rivers and lakes, he was actually willing to succumb to others and be governed.
"Ill-intentioned." Yan Shi whispered, sneering, he didn't think that Hengtian Sect would change because of a Beichen Yuan. What's more, this Beichenyuan itself is not a righteous gentleman.
Liang Jian didn't hear Yan Shi muttering something alone, but he didn't think it was interesting, and just wanted to change someone to eavesdrop, only to hear a white-faced scholar next to the strong man who looked handsome and laughed softly. She looked at him and saw him with a fan in his hand, and his eyes were full of shrewdness and calculation. He shook his head and said contemptuously, "Isn't it that it hasn't been full of people yet, Hengtian Sect is so big, it must need a strong man like you." ”
The sixth sense told her that this person was not simple, so she leaned closer to eavesdrop on it, and there were people coming and going in the hall, so the position she was standing in was not conspicuous, and she didn't have to worry about being exposed. She even took out a handful of melon seeds and eavesdropped on them, as if she was an officer from the intelligence department at the entrance of the village.
"That is, indeed." Chen Batian proudly waved the hammer that weighed dozens of pounds when he raised it, and the horizontal flesh on his face shook and trembled, "My hammer is not a vegetarian, and there are hundreds of wicked souls on it, to say the least." ”
The white-faced scholar opened the fan and stepped forward to whisper in Chen Tianba's ear, the voice was extremely subtle, and Liang Jian could only barely listen to the lecture, capturing some key words, 'Beichen Gate Master', 'Tonight', 'Danxi Pavilion'.
She probably understood, but she wondered why she wouldn't want to make trouble sneaking around in the middle of the night, right?! However, if Beichen Yuanzi would be in Danxi Pavilion when he was there, there must be something to discuss, then the Mu family sisters would probably not accompany him, and this was a good time to do it.
She has not been idle these days, studying and practicing hard every day, getting up early and greedy for darkness, not only has her swordsmanship improved, but she is also very good at light skills. This is thanks to Xie Yaohuan for giving a lot of guidance when he left, not to mention stepping lightly, it is more than enough to secretly go to collect blood.
After making up her mind, she turned around and went to discuss with Yan Shi, and the soldiers were divided into two ways, which was more efficient. She was in charge of collecting blood, and Yan Shi was staring at the movements on Beichenyuan's side, and the two of them tacitly believed that this grandson must not be secretly fighting any evil ideas.
