Chapter 63: The King of the East China Sea
Seeing that the two of them were holding their own words, Wei Feng waved his hand: "If you go to that place, won't you know the way?" ”
A few men descended from the heights, and were about to start walking towards the valley, when they saw a group of warriors galloping towards the valley in the distance, and there was dust in the distance.
Wei Feng is the leader of the knights in Guanzhong, although he is not a bandit Qiangliang, but because of the tyranny of Di Qin, he has not done much to rob the rich and help the poor, and now he sees that the group of armor soldiers is not small, I don't know if it has anything to do with him, and he doesn't dare to be careless, so he gestured to a few people, shrunk his body, and pretended to hide leisurely behind the earth and stones.
The sound of horses' hooves stopped, just before the demolition of the empty city, Chi Tang looked over, only to see that all the people in the scene, including the officials and guards who supervised the work, all knelt on the ground, and couldn't help but be taken aback, what kind of big man came?
"See the prince. The voice of the official kneeling in worship came.
"Hahaha, you've worked hard. A hearty laugh, Chi Tang followed the laughter, only to see the first person in the armor was rolling the saddle and dismounting, looking at his appearance, but eighteen or nineteen years old, his appearance is handsome and handsome, especially a pair of eyes that emit purple light, which is even more different from ordinary people, wearing gold armor, tall and majestic.
"Everybody get up. The purple-eyed young man raised his hand and gestured, his expression very kind.
"Thank you. The people who fell to their knees rose one after another.
Chi Tang asked Wang Meng beside him: "Who is this? is it the prince of this country?"
Wang Meng looked at the purple-eyed young man, his eyes showed a hint of appreciation, and he nodded slowly: "If you are not mistaken, this person is the king of the East China Sea." ”
"King of the East China Sea?" Chi Tang didn't know what princes there were in this country, but he had also heard of the King of the East China Sea, that was the important minister of the Qin State who had led the army to resist when the army of the Jin State was at war with Di Qin, but according to the calculation of his age, the King of the East China Sea should be an old man of fifty or sixty years old, and he should never be such a young man.
Fortunately, Wang Meng quickly explained: "After the prime minister of the East China Sea King Fu Xiong, his two sons inherited the prince, one is the king of Qinghe, Fu Fa, and the other is the concubine Fu Jian, who inherited the king of the East China Sea." I heard that this Fu Jian has a majestic appearance, purple eyes, although he is young, he has the talent to help the people in the world, and he has been called a royal child since he was a child. ”
Xue Yang said with a smile: "Brother Wang, you seem to appreciate him very much, and he has said so many good things. ”
Wang Meng showed a meaningful smile: "The world has circulated, I am just paraphrasing." ”
Chi Tang carefully observed the majestic East China Sea King in Wang Meng's mouth, and saw what he was talking to the officials, because he couldn't hear it clearly at some distances, but seeing that he was heroic and vigorous, it was really not an ordinary appearance.
"The Son of Heaven handed over the errand of demolishing the empty city and empty house to the lonely king, and the Son of Heaven must do it in time, and in the next few days, all the empty cities and empty houses will be demolished, so that the Son of Heaven can also rejoice when he sees it, and when the time comes, the lonely king will ask you for credit. Fu Jian, the king of the East China Sea, said loudly, and this time the words clearly reached Chi Tang's ears.
At the same time, the official who oversaw the work announced: "According to the decree of the king of the East China Sea, the people who demolish the empty city this time will be rewarded with 100 yuan, and the official office will provide meals, and there will be meat for every meal!"
The people cheered: "Thank you, Lord Wang!"
This King of the East China Sea is really meticulous, not only treats people kindly, but also thinks about the details very thoughtfully. Chi Tang nodded secretly, especially compared with the one-eyed tyrant, one is perverse and tyrannical, and the other is clear and honest, and he is really judgmental.
Fu Jian saluted everyone, turned around and got on the horse again, even Xue Yang was a little interested at this time, it is really rare to see such a humble and polite prince and grandson. Seeing Fu Jian with a group of armor soldiers, he beat his horse and went again.
The distant rider made the sound of the horse's hooves stomping on the ground, like an accompaniment, Wang Meng began to sing to himself: "There is a fish in the East China Sea that turns into a dragon, and the man is the king and the woman is the prince, and asks where the ...... is in the east of the Luomen"...,
Chi Tang was stunned and said, "What is Brother Jingluo singing?"
Wang Mengwu hummed to himself for a long time before he smiled faintly: "A ballad was widely circulated in Chang'an City a while ago. ”
"Brother Jingluo and this Yaxing, what does this song mean?"
"Xu is the meaning of the new monarch and the change of dynasty. Wang Meng said with a smile: "Let's go, go to that valley and have a look." ”
Chi Tang didn't understand what it meant for a while, but it was also important to go over to see the valley where he had been hiding, so he also got up at the moment and followed Wei Feng and Wang Meng forward.
"That ......" Wang Meng suddenly turned around and added: "...... The mansion of Fu Jian, the king of the East China Sea, is located east of Luomen. ”
※※※
Chitang was a little dumbfounded when he saw the bare hillsides and the earthy yellow rocks, yes, judging from the distant scenery and the comparison of the surrounding things, this was the valley where more than fifty Assassins had been ambushed, but where were the towering poplars and plump bushes?
Chi Tang remembered very well that he was lying in a bush, and the sound of cicadas in the poplar trees on the side of the road was still in his ears. Chitang walked slowly through the valley, and felt that the path of the valley seemed to be shorter than that day.
When he walked to the valley mouth, Chi Tang was shocked in his heart, the two big mountain stones had not changed, they were still embedded on the side of the valley mouth, and when he was thrown off by the Rudan Demon Queen and the fire crow divine power protected him invisibly, he fell under this mountain stone.
Xue Yang looked around up and down, left and right, and nodded. Wei Feng and Wang Meng didn't make a sound to disturb Chi Tang, allowing him to find the clues in his memory with peace of mind, while Xu Meng and Lu Yang looked at the depression in the valley with emotion, although they didn't experience it firsthand, but their relatives died here. Among all of them, only Luo Laoqi was the most relaxed, his mind wandered, his expression seemed to be smiling, and he was obviously thinking about his tone again.
Chi Tang suddenly ran a few steps, squatted down dozens of steps away from the valley mouth, and reached out to dig the soil. Wei Feng and Xue Yang followed, and also helped him start digging, and before he could dig a few times, he saw Chi Tang with a solemn face and took out an object from the soil pit.
The soil stains have not disappeared, Xiao Mu Youqin, this is a slender scabbard, the sword pendant is a little broken, Chi Tang turned the scabbard over, wiped the soil on the scabbard, and the word Qingfeng was impressive.
"I remember clearly, thirty steps away from the valley mouth, I was so frightened that I had no idea of practicing martial arts, and the blade was lost in the hands of the demons, so I buried the scabbard behind me here. Chi Tang gently stroked the scabbard, and the past came to his mind again. The Qingfeng Sword has been destroyed in the hands of the Sun Spirit Ghost General, and he has also carried the Yunlong Sword on his back, but the scabbard of the Qingfeng Sword carries too many memories, I remember that after his crown ceremony, it was his father who handed over the cast Qingfeng Sword to his hands, and he was very happy at the time, and kept stroking the exquisite texture on the scabbard, and he couldn't put it down.
But now, the blade has been lost, the scabbard has been defeated, and it is full of mottled marks, and only the ingenuity of the casting in the past can be vaguely seen.
Wang Meng thought about it for a while, and then came to the conclusion: "You left the valley and walked another thirty steps like that day, and then you found the scabbard you buried." There seems to be no change here or that day. There is only disagreement with the situation in the valley. ”
Chi Tang looked up at the valley in amazement: "Yes, even if the seasons change, the situation in the valley will not be so different, unless someone uproots all the trees and shrubs in the valley." ”
Wang Meng smiled: "This is also impossible, unless the person who uprooted it fills in all the tree pits and grass pits, even so, it will still be visible." But if you look at this barren mountain loess, this is the most common form of landform in Guanzhong, which is exactly the same as when I usually passed by. ”
"Brother Jingluo, you are resourceful, in your opinion, what's going on with this?" Wei Feng also felt quite strange, although he had not experienced the incident of assassinating the monarch on a moonlit night, but seeing Chi Tang's stunned and confused eyes at the moment, he also knew that there must be a great change in the Dao. ...,
Wang Meng looked at Xue Yang: "Brother Xue, you are a demon slayer, what do you think?"
Xue Yang gestured to Wang Meng: "You say it first." ”
Wang Meng didn't shirk, and said directly: "The valley I usually see has always been like this, the day of Brother Chi's assassination was July 15 last year, and after July 15, I also passed here, and it is still like this, the scene here has not changed at all." However, Brother Chi said that when they were in ambush, this place was different, which shows that when they were ambushing, someone here did something to turn this place into a place where vegetation is lush and convenient for hiding. Brother Xue, I want to ask, have you ever seen such a plain change spell in that Demon Dao?"
Xue Yang smiled: "A kind of illusion, I've seen it." ”
"That's it, obviously, this is the scene that Brother Chi saw by the spell, that is to say, Brother Chi's ambush was already expected by others, so there are only two possibilities. First, the person who presided over this assassination was a person who knew demonics, and he did this to let these assassins with strong martial arts go to their deaths, and he was to serve those demons; Judging by the fact that most of the assassins died, I think the second possibility is the most likely. ”
Xue Yang listened to Wang Meng's words, and also patted Chi Tang on the shoulder: "What the fourth senior brother said that day is right, Senior Brother Chi, this is indeed a trap set by demons." It was the day of the demon's mid-month feast, and you were all pre-arranged sacrifices. I haven't said much about it, because I want Senior Brother Chi to solve the mystery by himself. And, I'm sure there must be demons among your assassins. ”
For this answer, Chi Tang has long been mentally prepared, in fact, when the two demon slayers of Dong Mansion and Ji Rui Xue Yang talked for the first time that day, Chi Tang believed this answer, and he just came to verify it this time. This matter has nothing to do with the prince in this country, it is indeed a trick arranged by the demons, those righteous men who assassinate the tyrant have the ambition to eliminate violence, and when they set off for Chang'an, they are destined to become the blood food in the mouth of the demons, thinking of this, Chi Tang felt a burst of pathos in his heart.
Chi Tang looked down at the eroded and mottled scabbard in his hand, sighed, and prepared to bury it again, this is like a farewell to the past, the negative swordsman who holds the Qingfeng Sword and walks the rivers and lakes is no longer there, and now there is only Chi Tang, a disciple of the Qianjia who carries the Yunlong Sword on his back and slays demons and destroys demons.
Seeing that Chi Tang was about to bury the scabbard again, Xue Yang hurriedly stopped: "Slow, Senior Brother Chi, this scabbard is very well made, and it has the meaning of commemoration, what a pity to bury it? Since you don't need it, why don't you give it to my junior brother, you see, I am a rusty sword, with such a scabbard, it is very suitable." ”
Really, Chi Tang looked at the scabbard, and then looked at the broken hilt exposed behind Xue Yang, and sent the scabbard to Xue Yang's hand, at this moment, Chi Tang almost wanted to say what Qian Chong often said: "In the dark, there is a providence." "If it weren't for Providence, how could the corroded scabbard and the rusty iron sword be in one place like a stormy and cloudy meeting?
Xue Yang took off the rag wrapped in the rusty sword, carefully inserted the rusty sword into the scabbard of the Qingfeng sword, patted the back, and said to Chi Tang with a smile: "Senior Brother Xie Chi." ”
"So that's the end of the line. Wang Meng interjected at the right time. "The truth is basically clear, I think there is no point in exploring too much, the thing is obvious, there are a lot of demons in Chang'an City, and the tyrant is also protected by demons, what we should do is to eradicate those demons, I suggest not to find the demons around the tyrant in the palace first, because if we go to the palace to eradicate it, we will also face to deal with the tens of thousands of Yulin guards in the palace, although they are all mortals, but it is still quite tricky to deal with, right?" Wang Meng spoke like a senior demon warrior," So, let's start with the tiger wolf gang where the demons are entrenched, and we used to be very afraid of it, but now that we have you, we can join forces, how about it?"...,
Chi Tang looked at Xue Yang, although he was a senior brother, but in terms of demon eradication experience, these things still had to be decided by this sixth junior brother.
Xue Yang crossed his hands and nodded: "This is what we said yesterday, of course we can." Tiger Wolf Gang is a must, but there is a problem, I don't know if you have the body of the Cloud Dragon Breaker, oh, to put it simply, it is whether you have the ability to hurt the demons, otherwise, it will be a disadvantage to go. ”
Wei Feng said: "If you don't have the kind of ability you said, you can't fight those demons with your strong martial arts?"
Xue Yang pointed to the valley: "Those chivalrous warriors who assassinated Jun with Senior Brother Chi are all lessons from the past, Brother Wei, it's better not to be lucky." ”
Wei Feng grasped the fist, and the knuckles he pinched were rattling: "Then how can we know if we have that ability?"
"Generally, when ordinary people are at the moment of life and death, or in some emergency moments, their own potential explodes, and the kind of power hidden in the body will appear. But if you don't have this kind of power in your own right, or if you die before you can explode when that moment comes, then you can't show it, and it's quite distressing. However, there is still a slight difference between whether there is one or not. I'm just going to see if there's anyone who already has this ability and doesn't know the way myself. Xue Yang's eyebrows fluttered, "I have a method that may not be very precise but very effective. ”
"What's the solution?" Xu Meng and Lu Yang had also rushed over, and when they heard Xue Yang say this, they asked one after another.
Xue Yang took out something from his arms and showed it to everyone, raising his eyebrows: "Qianjia...... Bai Hongxun. ”
