Chapter Nine: The Long-Lost Qingshi County (II)

Kou Nanfeng bowed slightly, and said: "Yes, the ancestor of my Kou family, I was originally a general under the command of the God of War, and after the God of War was executed, my Kou family also declined." Saying that, he looked miserable and said: "When it comes to my generation, I can't even keep my sister......"

When Shi Sheng heard this, he couldn't help but think of Shen Xuan, and his heart was also gloomy, and he said for a while: "Since Brother Kou's ancestor was a general under the God of War, and Brother Kou is also a disciple of the general, why don't you join the army and serve the country?"

Kou Nanfeng was stunned, silent for a long time, and said: "I want to go back to my hometown to sweep my sister's grave first, and I will consider the matter of joining the army later." Shi Sheng bowed his head slightly and said, "That's fine." Kou Nanfeng saluted Shi Sheng with a fist and said: "Don't thank you for your kindness, Kou will say goodbye, Qingshan will not change, and there will be a period in the future." ”

"There will be a period later. Shi Sheng hugged his fists and returned the salute, Kou Nanfeng turned around and left, waiting for Kou Nanfeng to go away, Shi Sheng sighed in his heart, Kou Nanfeng was thin and weak, quite a little bookish, he didn't see him for several years, and now Kou Nanfeng's temperament has changed greatly, and his gestures are full of recklessness, it seems that over the years, Kou Nanfeng must have had a very difficult time.

Seeing Kou Nanfeng leave, Shi Sheng looked at the "Dingguo Testament" in his hand, he has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and he can naturally distinguish the authenticity at a glance, and he can determine at a glance that this must be written by Xue Xiangnan, the god of war!

Shi Sheng has read a lot of military books, most of which are about the theory of marching and fighting, but there is no military book that is as rich as "The Testament of Dingguo", and it is so comprehensive, from strategizing to a meal and a night, everything is all-encompassing, from thousands of troops and horses to a soldier and a soldier. The "Testament of Dingguo" gives detailed command methods.

Rather than saying that "Dingguo's Testament" is a military book, it is better to say that it is a codex, recording the bits and pieces of Xue Xiangnan's march to the south, as well as his perception and experience, many places, there are traces of alteration, Shi Sheng looked at it with admiration, this Xue Xiangnan is worthy of being the god of war, and no one can match it through the ages. Those tricks. Marching and arranging, Shi Sheng, who watched it, was impressed.

Back then, Xue Xiangnan was trapped by love, and got into trouble because of a woman, and finally died and died. I have never heard of the art of war. Unexpectedly, there is a "Dingguo Testament". It fell into the hands of the ancestors of Kou Nanfeng.

Shi Sheng carefully put away the "Testament of Dingguo", the battle codex of the god of war, is it unusual? Shi Sheng still needs to be carefully studied.

Shi Sheng packed up his mood and continued to rush towards Qingshi County, and after a while, he came to Qingshi County, where he met Kou Nanfeng and Shi Xiaotian, and it was also here that he and Shen Xian reunited with the three of them.

Shi Sheng stepped into the city, found an inn to live in, and stayed until night, quietly sneaking into the Tang family, wanting to secretly find out some of the Tang family's connection with the Holy Sect.

Shi Sheng sneaked in Tang's house, and suddenly saw several carriages driving into a secret room, Shi Sheng saw clearly, the people in the car were old acquaintances - Tang Shao and Chen Shu, when Shi Sheng first met them, they also took a convoy, Shi Sheng was curious, and sneaked into the secret room.

The carriages stopped one by one, and Tang Shao said, "Okay, put them in the dungeon." Chen Shu responded, and took a few people to move the goods in the car, Shi Sheng saw it, and his heart immediately rose with anger, the "goods" in Tang Shao's mouth turned out to be all girls!

Fifteen or sixteen girls, all of whom were in a coma, were carried into the dungeon by Chen Shu and others, Tang Shao sighed and muttered: "What a sin, Ah Shu, you said that if we do these things, will we go to hell after death?"

Chen Shu said: "Shao Gong, don't say whether there will be hell in this world, even if there is hell, I, Chen Shu, am not afraid! My life was saved by the patriarch, what the patriarch asked me to do, I will do it, even if I go to hell, I will admit it!"

Tang Shao sighed and said, "That's it, it's business as usual, give these little girls good food and drink these days, and send them to the place designated by the holy envoy after a while." Chen Shu responded.

Tang Shao walked out of the secret room and went straight to Tang Tianao's bedroom, Shi Sheng followed Tang Shao to sneak in, hiding on the roof beam of Tang Tianao's bedroom, with Shi Sheng's current cultivation, he was transported with all his might, even if it was close at hand, Tang Tianao and Tang Shao could not detect Shi Sheng's existence.

Tang Shao said: "Patriarch, there are eleven girls this time, all of whom are under the age of eighteen. Tang Tianao nodded and said, "Gong Shao has worked hard, you go down to rest first." Tang Shao said "yes", turned around and walked a few steps, suddenly turned around, and said, "Patriarch, let's do these things, it's really a big deal, I'm ...... I always have a hard conscience. ”

Tang Tianao sighed and said, "Why shouldn't I?" However, if I don't do this, my Tang family will be wiped out, and we are also forced to do these things secretly, don't let the clansmen find out, this sin, let a few of us carry it." Tang Shao sighed, didn't speak again, and turned around.

Tang Tianao sat at the table, supported his forehead with his hands, closed his eyes to recuperate, looking very tired, suddenly heard the sound of footsteps, Tang Tianao was startled, opened his eyes suddenly, and shouted: "Who is it?"

Shi Sheng stood quietly a few zhang away, stretched out his hand to remove his mask, and said, "Uncle Tang, I haven't seen you for many years, don't come unharmed." Tang Tianao looked at Shi Sheng, felt quite familiar, suddenly recognized it, and said in surprise: "You...... Are you Xiaosheng?"

Shi Sheng said: "It's me." Tang Tianao said: "You...... You're back, where have you been all these years, you're ...... Your cultivation!" Tang Tianao's heart was shocked, he couldn't sense Shi Sheng's cultivation, he was the tenth layer of the Hinayana realm!

Shi Sheng was silent for a moment, and then said straight to the point: "Uncle Tang, who are you going to hand over those girls you have arrested? What is the origin of those holy envoys you are talking about?"

Tang Tianao was taken aback, stood up suddenly, looked at Shi Sheng, and said, "You...... Do you know everything?" Shi Sheng nodded and said, "I have seen it all, Uncle Tang, your Tang family is kind to me, I always thought you were a good person, you ...... I am very saddened by what you have done. ”

Shi Sheng had lived in Tang's house for a few months, Tang Tianao took very good care of Shi Sheng, Shi Sheng has always remembered Tang Tianao's kindness, seeing Tang Tianao and Tang Shao, doing such things, it is indeed heartbreaking.

Tang Tianao sat down on the chair with a very tired expression, as if he had aged a few years in an instant, silently, Shi Sheng sat down at the table, and said, "Uncle Tang, I know that you are not a great traitor, you must have your own hardships when you do this, but ...... But what the hell is this? Is there no other way to do these unreasonable things?"

Tang Tianao let out a long sigh and said, "Xiao Sheng, you don't know the power of the Holy Sect, they can destroy my Tang family with their fingers, if I hadn't promised to do things for them back then, my Tang family would have been wiped out long ago, how can I survive to this day?"

Shi Sheng said: "So, when the Tang family was ruined, what kind of holy sect did it?" Tang Tianao nodded, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and said, "That night...... My Tang family suffered heavy casualties, and all eight ancestors of the Xuan Realm died. Saying that, his expression was gloomy, and he said, "My Tang family is also ...... Since then, it has been reduced to a first-class shili. ”

Shi Sheng said: "How dare they kill people in the county town? Do the county guard battalions sit idly by?" Tang Tianao said sadly and angrily: "Reason? How can they take care of me? Destroy my Tang family, and he also has a part in the county guard camp, how can they take care of it?"

Shi Sheng was struck by lightning and froze suddenly, the county guard camp participated in the destruction of the Tang family? Wasn't the county guard camp to maintain law and order in the county town? Isn't it that the national crime is unforgivable, and the Son of Heaven is no exception? How can the county guard camp be an exception? In the history of the Blue Kingdom, there have been several princesses and grandsons who have been executed for national crimes, and no one has ever dared to doubt the justice of national crimes!

After a while, Shi Sheng asked, "Uncle Tang, what is going on?" I heard Sanxiao say that back then, the great elder of your Tang family had a very close personal relationship with Mo Tianyang, the head of Sanhe County, and was as close as a brother, so how could the county guard camp harm your Tang family?"

Tang Tianao shook his head and said, "Xiao Sheng, don't ask, the more you know, the more dangerous it becomes, you ...... You'd better never have anything to do with the Holy Religion for the rest of your life, they ...... They're horrible!"

Shi Sheng said: "I know how terrible they are, I have seen the people of the Holy Sect. Tang Tianao was taken aback and said, "Have you seen it?" Shi Sheng said: "More than a year ago, I saw three holy envoys in the Red Flame Department of the Resentful Spirit Swamp. ”

"The Resentful Spirit Swamp?" Tang Tian said arrogantly, "How could you go to the Wraith Spirit Swamp? It's a place where you eat people and don't spit out bones!"

Shi Sheng smiled bitterly and said, "Back then, I was chased and killed by the Luo family, and I had no choice but to go to the Resentful Spirit Swamp. Tang Tianao nodded and said, "You have seen the strength of the Holy Envoy, so you should understand that you must not provoke them." ”

Shi Sheng said: "They are very powerful, but I have also seen masters who are not weaker than them, or even stronger than them!" Among the masters Shi Sheng saw, the most unfathomable thing for him was Yao Xiang's grandfather's servant-sword servant, and the ethereal and mysterious sword intent made Shi Sheng still remember it vividly.

Tang Tianao looked at Shi Sheng in a daze, a little unable to react, he really couldn't imagine what Shi Sheng had experienced over the years, he sighed for a while, and said, "Okay, since you want to know, I'll tell you what happened back then." ”

Shi Sheng sat precariously and listened to Tang Tianao's eloquent talk, revealing the secrets of more than ten years ago.

More than ten years ago, the Tang family had eight ancestors, all of whom were the strength of the Xuan Realm, among which the first ancestor Tang Tiansheng's cultivation was the highest, and he had always been as famous as Mo Tianyang, and was known as the two top masters in Sanhe County.

Decades ago, on a snowy morning, a baby who was waiting to be fed was abandoned outside the Tang family's land, just seen by the head of the Tang family, and couldn't help but feel compassion and adopted the baby.

At that time, Tang Tiansheng, the established young patriarch of the Tang family, was born only a few months ago, because of the lack of milk from his biological mother, he invited a nurse, and just fed Xiao Mo together, and a few years later, Xiao Mo became Tang Tiansheng's scholar, growing up with Tang Tiansheng.
