Before the sky dawned, Ye Zhiqiu was standing in front of Han Xin's tomb with a lot of emotion.

Han Xin's tomb is located in the east of Xi'an City, Baqiao, recorded in the historical books in the ancient Chang'an City thirty miles east of the city, folk rumors here are only buried the body of Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin.

At that time, Han Xin was the founder of the Han Dynasty, his military talent was unparalleled, he never tasted defeat in his life, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, evaluated him as "the battle must be won, the attack must be taken", worship as the general, destroy Qin and Chu, and create the Han Dynasty.

It's a pity that his credit is too great, his fame is too loud, the so-called high merit shocks the master, after Liu Bang ascended the throne, he first changed his King of Qi to the King of Chu to weaken his power, and later he was directly demoted to the Marquis of Huaiyin under the pretext of rebellion.

But his talent and fame are still hated, because he is afraid that he will rebel after Liu Bang's death, in the eleventh year of Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, on the occasion of Gaozu's expedition, Empress Lu and Xiao He conspired to deceive Han Xin into Changle Palace, and beheaded Han Xin for rebellion in the bell room.

After Empress Lu beheaded Han Xin, he sent his head to see Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, there is a Han Xin tomb in Shanxi, which is where his head is buried, and this Han Xin tomb in Baqiao, Xi'an, is just to bury his body.

There is a small temple in front of his tomb, but the incense is scarce, in disrepair, and is close to collapse. However, it can be seen that there are two wooden plaques hanging in front of the hall with faded couplets engraved on them:

A confidant in life and death, and two women in life and death.

Of course, this "confidant" refers to Han Xin's friend, Xiao He, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty. At the beginning, Han Xin was not reused under Xiang Yu's account, and later defected to Liu Bang and was still not appreciated, so he wanted to go elsewhere. It was Xiao He who saw his peerless talent, chased Han Xin on a moonlit night, persuaded him back, and strongly recommended Liu Bang to worship him as a general, so that he had his later immortal achievements.

But it was this Xiao He who later used his trust to trick him into Changle Palace, causing him to be in a different place. This is "a confidant of life and death".

The former of the "two women" in the lower link refers to the fact that when Han Xin was down, a drifting mother who was washing clothes by the river gave him her own food to eat, so that he would not starve to death.

The latter naturally refers to the ruthless Empress Lu who designed to kill Han Xin in the bell room of Changle Palace. It's really "two women who survive and die".

It is a high summary of the major turning point in Han Xin's life.

And after the small temple is Han Xin's tomb, this is a five-zhang square strange shape of the ancient mound, on both sides there are four thousand-year-old cypress trees covering it, like a cloud cover, a good imperial atmosphere!

There are several stone tablets next to the tomb, which are very old, but they are inscribed with ink treasures left by literati and scholars who have come to mourn and worship.

One of the most famous poems is, of course, "Hanxin Temple" written by the great poet Liu Yuxi of the Tang Dynasty:

The general will be a soldier and a soldier,

The pale yellow bell room sighed for the bow.

He who commanded his descendants to ascend the altar,

Every thought is afraid of meritorious service.

Ye Zhiqiu was standing in front of the stele at the moment, reciting this poem in a low voice, and a feeling of sadness surged in his heart.

The bird is hidden in the bow, the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked, this may be the final fate of all courtiers, as strong as Han Xin, even if he has the talent of heaven, he can't escape this fate.

Thinking back to himself, he has been thinking about it for decades, planning his plan for the emperor, and now this plan is in full swing, and he still has a place to play.

But once this plan succeeds, will he end up in the same fate as Han Xin? Oh no, maybe even more miserable than him?

The sadness in his heart was even worse, in the early summer morning, he clearly felt a late autumn chill, penetrating through his bone marrow, making his cold hair stand on end.

At this moment, Ye Zhiqiu felt a trace of movement behind him, he turned around suddenly, and saw a person slowly walking towards him

Walked over.

This person was covered in a black robe, long black hair and long beard, and the whole person seemed to be covered in a black mist, but there was a black knife hanging from his waist, which was black and shiny.

Magic Knife, Magic Fifth Floor!

Ye Zhiqiu was not surprised to see him, it seemed that he appeared here so early, it must have been made an appointment between the two of them in advance.

A faint smile appeared on his face, and he said to the fifth floor of the demon: "Senior brother, why did you choose to meet in this place?"

Mo Wulou was expressionless, walked straight to Ye Zhiqiu's side, looked down at the stone tablet he had been staring at just now, and said coldly: "Why did you come here, don't you understand it now?"

Ye Zhiqiu looked at his senior brother with some puzzlement, and listened to him read softly: "The general will be a little soldier and the machine will be ordered to be Shixiong, and the pale yellow bell room will sigh for the bow......"

Ye Zhiqiu's face changed suddenly.

It seems that the fifth floor of the demon has already come, but he has been hiding in the dark and observing himself, otherwise, how could he know that he has been touching the scene with these few lines of poetry just now?

At the same time, he suddenly understood the reason why the fifth floor of the demon deliberately asked him to come here to meet, he wanted to use Han Xin's story to persuade himself not to be too stupid and loyal, and follow in Han Xin's footsteps.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, after all, the senior brother is still the same senior brother, no matter how high his martial arts are, he is still so naïve, and now, he has long been involuntarily, just like the foam on the waves, he can only follow the waves and rush to the shore desperately, where else can there be any other choice?

Seeing that he was silent for a long time, the fifth floor of the demon couldn't help but ask, "Since you want to meet me, you should always tell me what it is for at this moment, right?"

Ye Zhiqiu barely squeezed out a smile on his face, and said, "Senior brother suddenly disappeared for more than a year before, and I can't rest assured as a junior brother, so I came to greet senior brother." ”

The fifth floor of the demon didn't even raise his head, and said coldly: "Are you afraid that something will happen to me and ruin your big plan?"

Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said nothing, which was tantamount to acquiescing to his statement. He and this senior brother knew each other too well to deny it at all.

Mo Wulou said very casually: "Actually, it doesn't hurt to tell you, on the way to Songshan before, I was plotted by someone and was seriously injured, and I was in retreat for more than a year before I could recover as before." ”

Ye Zhiqiu's face changed abruptly, and he asked in surprise: "In today's world, who can make Senior Brother hurt so badly?"

These words are a bit suspicious, but in the ears of the fifth floor of the devil, I feel that he seems to be quite useful.

The fifth floor of the demon smiled proudly and said, "It's not one person, it's two people, and they used despicable means to surprise the sneak attack." Moreover, I guess the two of them must also be one of the ten halls of Yama under that Xuanyuan Gongzi. ”

Ye Zhiqiu asked, "Who are they?"

The fifth floor of the demon said: "One is Ruyi double knife Zhang Ruyi, and the other is Jiao Ke, a mountain-splitting axe that is not defocused from him. ”

Ye Zhiqiu suddenly understood the reason for the proud smile of the fifth floor just now, he did have the capital to be proud.

Zhang Ruyi and Jiao Ke are both legendary martial arts seniors, and being able to fight with one of them is already a dream of many martial arts people.

And the fifth floor of the demon was only injured under the surprise attack of the two of them, which is enough to be proud of no matter who it is.

But at the same time, Ye Zhiqiu also felt secretly frightened, such two people who were quite famous in the past would also be one of the Ten Palaces of Yama?

He couldn't help asking, "Are you sure of the identities of the two of them?"

Mo Wulou nodded: "It should be right, the two of them should not be dealing with me at that time, but to deal with Tang Da and them who rushed to Songshan behind me, I just happened to meet him." ”

"And stop Tang Da and they rush to Song

The only purpose of the Mountain Tingtao Villa can only be to protect the Song Emperor Lin Suifeng in the Ten Palaces of Yama. Therefore, the two of them must also be Xuanyuan Gongzi's subordinates. ”

Ye Zhiqiu nodded, agreeing with his reasoning, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said to the fifth floor of the demon: "Actually, I came to find Senior Brother this time, mainly for Feng'er's affairs. ”

The fifth floor of the demon glanced at him as expected, and said secretly in his heart, I already knew that you were not so kind, and you would never just care about my senior brother when you came to me.

However, Ye Feng was his only disciple after all, and he was his closest person, so he still asked in a deep voice, "Feng'er, what's wrong with him?"

Ye Zhiqiu said: "Feng'er has now arrived in Lanzhou, according to the news sent back, they have found that Fu Shuangling, but I am afraid that soon they will be heading towards the ancient city of Loulan." ”

Mo Wulou snorted and said, "Isn't it great? ”

Ye Zhiqiu said with a calm face: "But the news that came back also mentioned that now in Lanzhou City, there are also two people from the Ten Halls of Yama. ”

Mo Wulou frowned: "Who?"

Ye Zhiqiu said: "One is Guan Si of the Qinglong Dart Bureau, he is the King of Mount Tai among the Ten Palaces of Yama, and the other is the East China Sea Fisherman, he is the King of the City among the Ten Palaces of Yama!"

Demon Wulou's face sank, he had heard of these two people, none of them were easy to deal with, I am afraid that Ye Feng will be in big trouble this time.

Ye Zhiqiu's voice softened and said, "But I heard that Old Lady Tang invited Nanshan Chess to defeat the old monster of Donghai Yu." ”

Hearing Nanshan Qi, Mo Wulou's heart was a little settled, but Ye Zhiqiu said anxiously: "But we got more strange news. ”

Mo Wulou's heart tightened again, and he asked, "What news?"

Ye Zhiqiu said word by word: "Lao Qi is also rushing to Lanzhou now!"

He originally thought that the Fifth Floor of the Demon would be shocked, but to his surprise, the expression of the Fifth Floor of the Demon was obviously stunned for a moment, and then it seemed to relax.

He was a little puzzled, and then asked, "What is Lao Qi doing in Lanzhou at this time?"

Mo Wulou shook his head: "I don't know, but I guess he shouldn't be looking for Feng'er, but looking for me." ”

Ye Zhiqiu was puzzled: "Looking for you? After so many years, what does Lao Qi want to do with you now?"

Demon Wulou's eyes suddenly widened, and the fierce light was shining, so frightened that Ye Zhiqiu immediately closed his mouth. I only heard him say coldly: "There are some things that you don't know, and you shouldn't know!"

Seeing Ye Zhiqiu's silent appearance, he softened his tone and said, "Don't worry, since Lao Qi wants to find me through Feng'er, he will definitely ensure Feng'er's safety first." With him, are you still afraid of those bull ghosts and snake gods of Rausch?"

Hearing him say this, Ye Zhiqiu's heart was indeed a little relieved.

Mo Wulou squinted at him and said, "It seems that you really have a heart for your son, is it really emotional, or is it just for your plan?"

Ye Zhiqiu stumbled and didn't know how to answer.

Mo Wulou waved his hand: "Forget it, I'll rush over too, but there's no need for me to show up." After all, you also know that it is better for me and Lao Qi not to meet. ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked out without looking back, saying as he went, "Contact me again if you have something, you know how to contact me." ”

He walked very fast, Ye Zhiqiu called "Senior Brother" a few times in the back, and his back had already disappeared.

Ye Zhiqiu looked at the direction where the fifth floor of the demon disappeared a little blankly, and thought to himself, it seems that there is really a secret hidden between these two brothers!
