Chapter 249: Zhongyuan Festival Blood spattered on the spot

The book continues from the above, the last book said that Chu Mofeng obtained the account books and left Qingzhou, the other side of the flower set a plan to come to Luoyang again, the eastern capital grain Cao was killed, and the Luoyang assassin took over, which led to the undercurrent surging in the city on July 15, the ghosts in the eastern capital of the Shangyuan Festival cried wolf, Chu Mofeng killed the ghost, and the flower on the other side resisted the evil soul.

Zhongyuan Festival is the name of Taoism, the folk secular is called the July half, July 14, ancestor worship festival, and Buddhism is called the Bon Festival. The festival customs mainly include worshipping ancestors, releasing river lanterns, worshipping the souls of the dead, burning paper ingots, sacrificing land, etc. Its production can be traced back to the worship of ancestral spirits in ancient times and related time sacrifices. July is the auspicious month, filial piety month, July and a half is the folk early autumn celebration of the harvest, reward the earth of the festival, there are a number of crops ripe, the folk according to the routine to worship the ancestors, with new rice and other sacrifices, to the ancestors to report the autumn success. The festival is a kind of cultural traditional festival to remember the ancestors, and its cultural core is to respect the ancestors and fulfill filial piety.

However, Taoism has clouds, the fifteenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar is the birthday of the local official, the local official in charge of hell has compassion, releases the ghost prisoners in the prison, and returns to the world from the beginning of July to enjoy a month of incense and almsgiving, in order to arouse his heart to the Tao Through the process of rituals and Taoist priests, believers assist the local officials to transcend the dead souls and hungry ghosts, so that they can be liberated as soon as possible and avoid being troubled in the world.

It coincides with today's Zhongyuan Festival, every household in Luoyang City is placed at the door of a bon, the incense candles are lit on the case, the tributes are neatly stacked, someone began to burn paper money early, the ashes after the burning, are blown by the wind that passes from time to time, and float towards the sky with a whirlwind, reflecting the dim sky It looks extremely weird.

On the road leading to Anyefang, about black-clothed and black-armored soldiers, holding weapons in an orderly manner, walked in the direction of Anyefang, as soon as they entered Anyefang, they quickly occupied the four gates, attracting pedestrians in the workshop to stop and watch, but all the residents who had to pass through were told by the yamen that they were not allowed to go out for the time being, and then five people wearing masks and holding swords, surrounded by a group of black-clothed and black-armored soldiers, slowly walked towards the Yang Mansion in the fang.

At this moment, a gust of wind blew in the workshop, and the paper money in the bowl that had not yet burned out was scattered into the air with a little spark, and the shadows were red and black, showing a feeling of loneliness.

At this time, in the Yang Mansion, the handsome man Yang Yi was in the ancestral hall in the backyard, looking at the three-layer tablet enshrined in front of him, Yang Yi respectfully took three incense sticks and lit them, kowtowed three times to the tablets, and then inserted the incense in his hand into the incense burner, and said angrily: "The ancestors and the ancestors are above, and the unfilial son Yang Yi made a heavy oath today, and he will definitely turn the eastern capital upside down. ”

After the worship, Yang Yi got up and walked out of the ancestral hall, looked at the black-clothed people waiting in line in the courtyard, and said with a hideous face: "You are all my former Sui people, I am fortunate to live in the world of Li Tang, today I convened you and others to work together, this eastern capital Luoyang was originally the capital of my Great Sui, but unfortunately occupied by Li Tang, since the Great Sui is not there, why not let this national capital be buried together, taking advantage of today's Zhongyuan Festival, you and I will turn this eastern capital upside down, which is bound to make Li Tang not peaceful." ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone in the courtyard said yes, and then Yang Yi picked up the sword on the side, pointed at the gate, everyone rushed to the door with Yang Yi, and when they walked to the gate, they only heard three clear knocks outside the door, Yang Yi raised his hand when he saw this, signaled everyone to hide first, and then adjusted his state and asked softly: "Who?"

"Luoyang County Ya, about a case came to interrogate, and opened the door quickly. I heard a deep voice outside the door.

Hearing this, Yang Yi put the sword in his hand to the door, then tidied up his clothes, slowly opened the door, looked around, and found that the street was empty, only a man and four women stood in front of the door, looking at the man who was surrounded by four young women, Yang Yi smiled and said: "This official has a very good eye, and the villain has never seen it before." I don't know what the official is doing here?"

"Lao Tzu is the new head catcher in this county, why do you have to talk so much, what do you answer, Lao Tzu still has to go to drink, I don't know what to say. I saw the man with a bored expression, looked at Yang Yi and said coldly: "Yesterday, Cao Sun Qigong was killed in the grain in the Shan Fang, and someone claimed to have seen you near his mansion, I don't know if there is such a thing?"

"Back to the official, the villain Yang Yi is really wronged, the villain did not come out of the mansion all day yesterday, and everyone in the mansion can testify for the villain. Hearing that the other party came to inquire about Sun Qigong, Yang Yi was shocked, and then said with a smile: "If the official master doesn't believe it, the villain can call someone to ask the official master." ”

I saw that the man suddenly turned his head to a woman behind him and asked, "He said that this matter has nothing to do with him, do you believe it?"

"Oh yes, who can say this kind of thing, believe it or not, you can go in and search for it, you have to search faster, so as not to delay drinking and talking with your sisters." I saw that the woman smiled, and then reached out and gently slapped the official, looked at Yang Yi with a pair of smart eyes and said: "The little brother is so handsome, the slave family can't help but believe your words, you might as well do this, let this official go in and search, if nothing happens, when the little brother goes to Qingshuang Residence, the slave family will accompany you to drink a few more cups is it considered to make amends?" After speaking, he spit out Yang Yixiang's tongue, and there was a bit of temptation in his playfulness.

Seeing this, Yang Yi sneered in his heart, Ancestors and Ancestors, have you seen it? This is the person who usurped my Great Sui River, the ugly behavior of the officials under his rule, a small official errand, who came out on business with a Qinglou woman, it is really disgusting, it is better to start burning from these people today.

Thinking of this, Yang Yi arched his hand at the man and said, "In this case, in order not to delay the good things of the official, please ask the official to enter the mansion and search." After speaking, the whole body turned to one side and made a gesture of please to the man.

Seeing this, the man was about to raise his feet to enter, but suddenly stopped looking at Yang Yi and said: "I forgot to ask, I don't know which Yang character in your name is Yang? Is it Yang Guang's Yang or Yang Zhu's Yang who advocates the idea that everyone does not lose a single bit and everyone is not good for the world?"

Hearing Chu Mofeng mention Yang Guang, Yang Yi thought that the matter was revealed, and the murderous intent in his eyes flashed, and at that moment his heart was horizontal, and he walked in front of the man, and suddenly printed his palm towards the man's chest, thinking that this palm would definitely kill the man on the spot, who knew that the other party reacted faster than himself, when he raised his hand, the other party's palm wind had already attacked, one party came prepared, the other party acted in a hurry, the two collided, Yang Yi was suddenly shocked back by a powerful force.

Taking a few steps back in succession to stabilize his figure, Yang Yi looked at the man with some incredulity, "How could ......it be?"

"How can you react so quickly, right?" the man followed Yang Yi's words and said: "If you don't know who you are, you will really let you succeed, you former Sui remnants, the court is not to blame for the past, but why don't you live with peace of mind, today is the Midyear Festival, and there is not even a Bon placed at the door of your mansion, aren't you afraid that those souls who starved to death because of you will come to take revenge?"

When Yang Yi heard this, the sword in his hand shook, and the scabbard flew out, and it was inserted on the pillar of the corridor in a shameful manner, and then pointed at the man and said viciously: "Who are you? Why do you know so many things? It seems that if I don't get rid of you and the four prostitutes behind me today, it will definitely ruin my big thing." ”

As soon as the words fell, a woman behind the man suddenly screamed, "Dog, who is a prostitute? When did my aunt become a prostitute? If you don't tear your dog's mouth today, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my aunt's heart." After speaking, he kicked the man's ass and said, "Don't talk nonsense with this guy, let's see the real chapter under your hands." ”

The man was suddenly kicked, covered his buttocks and let out a long howl, took out a mask from behind him and put it on, and said coldly: "The flower on the other side has arrived, quickly put down the weapon and arrest it." ”

As soon as he heard that the other party was the other side of the flower, Yang Yi couldn't help but take a few steps back, and then the expression on his face changed, and he whistled and said: "Everyone in the world knows that the other side flower can fight well, I don't know if I can catch me today." I saw a group of black-clothed men with sharp blades walking out of each room in the courtyard one after another, and then Yang Yi pointed in the direction of the man and said, "Kill all of them and leave no one behind." ”

Hearing this, everyone rushed towards each other with weapons in hand, only to see the man in the lead sneered, and his body rushed forward with a bow, and the four women behind him all took out their weapons and rushed into the crowd.

The black-clothed people only felt that there was a flower in front of them, as if something was passing by, but when they reacted, they saw that the man had already fought with his master.

"Who is your kid Yang Guang? Why are you still working for him today?" The two iron shovels in the man's hands kept beckoning to him, and Yang Yi could only block again and again when he saw this.

"I am Emperor Yang's distant nephew, the Yang family was all killed by Li Tang, as a disciple of the Yang family, I will definitely seek revenge on Li Tang. Forcibly enduring the sharp pain coming from the tiger's mouth, Yang Yi resisted while answering the other party's question.

Hearing that the other party was Yang Guang's distant nephew, Chu Mofeng couldn't help but be stunned, at this moment, Yang Yi seized the opportunity, and stabbed the long sword in his hand towards Chu Mofeng's waist and abdomen, and when Chu Mofeng reacted and was ready to resist, it was already too late, and he had no choice but to forcibly turn sideways, in order to avoid this blow, only to feel a tingling pain from his left waist and abdomen, Chu Mofeng looked down, and a bloody wound appeared in his eyes, and he was immediately furious.

Yang Yi, who succeeded in the first blow, looked at Chu Mofeng and sneered, held a sword flower in his hand and stared at Chu Mofeng and said, "I see that your kung fu is not weak, why are you willing to work for that Li Tang?

"Benefits?" Tearing off a piece of cloth from his shirt and bandaging it simply, Chu Mofeng lifted the Burning Sky in his hand, looked at Yang Yi with a sneering expression and said, "Since you know our other side of the flower, don't you know who I am?"

"Xianwang Yasha?" As soon as he heard the word 'Yasha', Yang Yi thought for a moment, and then pointed to Chu Mofeng and said: "Sure enough, it's you kid, most of the territory of the Great Sui was laid down by you for the Tang Dynasty, today you are here, kill you first, I am going to Daxing City to kill that Li Shimin, so that the leaderless court of the dragons is bound to be in chaos, and I will be able to rebel at that time, and I will soon be able to restore the glory of my Great Sui." ”

Chu Mofeng shook his head helplessly when he heard this, and then looked at Yang Yi with an expression of hatred and said: "Young man, wake up, now it is no longer possible to rebel, Your Majesty has already set up a prince, if Your Majesty dies, the prince will be able to succeed to the throne immediately, with the assistance of courtiers by his side, there will be no chaos, I have already arranged these things with Your Majesty." ”

"It looks like we're going to kill you, otherwise as long as you exist for a day, it will undoubtedly be an obstacle for us. Hearing that the other party had already made arrangements, Yang Yi immediately rushed towards Chu Mofeng with his sword.

On the other side, Liu Feiyan, Gu Zhen'er and others killed in the crowd, the weapons in their hands flew up and down like butterflies, and from time to time they brought up a pod of blood, seeing that the number of the other party was increasing, Gu Zhen'er swung the long knife in his hand and hit him head-on, and then shouted loudly: "He, a broken house with five entrances and five exits, where can he hide so many people?"

The crutch knife in his hand was crossed, leaving a scar on the throat of a man in black in front of him, Yuwen Xiu Qianqian raised her leg and kicked the opponent in the chest, only to see that the man in black couldn't stop flying backwards, and scraped down a group of people, and then Yu Wenxiu said coldly: "Now put the signal or wait?"

Sideways to dodge the opponent's blow, the plain white software in his hand rolled up at the opponent's neck, and his right hand jerked back, and the opponent immediately vomited blood and fell to the ground, and then Liu Feiyan shouted: "Ruolan, play the dart." ”

Xiao Ruolan on the side was surrounded by two black-clothed people at the moment, the spear in her hand danced like a windmill, and the sound of blades colliding was endless, hearing Liu Feiyan's shouting, she hurriedly withdrew and retreated, and the spear in her hand stabbed towards one of them, and the spear pierced into the opponent's chest like a dragon, and then suddenly withdrew, holding the tip of the spear in her hand, and pumping it towards the waist of the other person, "I know Sister Feiyan, I'll send a signal." ”

When the handle of the gun hit the opponent's waist, he took out a rattling dart from his arms and threw it at the sky, and a terrible whistling sound resounded in the sky in an instant. As soon as the Longcheng army, which had been ambushed outside the gate of Yang's mansion, saw the signal, they immediately brandished their weapons and rushed into the mansion, fighting with the opponent's men and horses.

Here Chu Mofeng and Yang Yi fought and retreated, and they had already come to the front of the ancestral hall in the backyard, only to see that Yang Yi's body was already scarred, and Chu Mofeng's back also had a deep scar that could be seen in the bone, if it weren't for Chu Mofeng's quick reaction, that sword would definitely pierce the backbone, Rao is like this, Chu Mofeng was also a little physically exhausted at the moment, and looked at Yang Yi with blood-red eyes, "I don't know what you're still insisting on? Isn't it that the people behind you promised you any benefits? Do you really think that your so-called plan to restore the country can be realized?"

"The official told me that as long as I can make Luoyang chaotic, he will have a way to get rid of Li Shimin, and the world will not be in chaos at that time. Yang Yi was first shocked when he heard this, and then felt that the other party must be disturbing his thoughts when he said this, so he immediately looked at Chu Mofeng coldly, and the long sword in his hand trembled and raised it again.

"Joke, as the emperor's younger brother who is above 10,000 people under the Tang Dynasty, I think that I can't succeed in assassinating Your Majesty, the so-called official family, can the official rank be higher than mine?" Hearing that the other party had officials in Beijing as backup, Chu Mofeng's first thought was that person, but after thinking about it, he and Li Shimin had already discussed, and treated this person with high officials kindly, but he did not give real power, and it was difficult for him to be forgiven without soldiers and without authority, but after thinking about it, if it wasn't for this person, wouldn't there be people in Chang'an City who had different aspirations? It seems that he has to return to Chang'an to investigate.

Thinking of this, Chu Mofeng sneered, pointed to the direction of the ancestral hall and said to Yang Yi: "It should be the spiritual seat of your Yang clan, right? Since you are so obsessed, today in front of your ancestors' spiritual seat, fight like a man, if you die, I will definitely bury you, if I die, hand over my body to those officers and soldiers outside the door, you can be guaranteed not to die." ”

Yang Yi swallowed the pain on his body when he heard this, then shook his head, dispelled the feeling of distress caused by blood loss, kicked his feet, and rushed towards Chu Mofeng with a long sword, Chu Mofeng saw this and couldn't care about the pain behind him, he erected two iron shovels and rushed out against the other party's figure, during the march Chu Mofeng suddenly threw the destruction in his hand in the direction of Yang Yi, the other party suddenly got up and jumped when he saw this, dodging Chu Mofeng's blow, who knew that looking at Yang Yi's jump in order to dodge, Chu Mofeng laughed fiercely, his body accelerated, and he came to Yang Yi in an instant, and used all his strength to wave the burning sky and jerk Yang Yi's abdomen, only listening'Click', Yang Yi in mid-air seemed to have been stripped of his muscles and bones, and fell to the ground with a long roar.

Seeing this, Chu Mofeng hurriedly stepped forward, picked up the destruction of the world on the ground, and slashed towards Yang Yi's back, who knew that Yang Yi suddenly turned over when he fell to the ground, holding the long sword with both hands to block Chu Mofeng's blow, the two kept fighting, but Chu Mofeng used too much force to pull the wound on his back, and immediately snorted, the force in his hand was a little slack, Yang Yi saw this, and pushed up with the long sword with both hands, and then pushed forward with both feet, taking advantage of the moment when the blade in Chu Mofeng's hand bounced, the whole person slid backwards.

Gliding all the way to the ground for a distance, the bluestone slab rubbed against the wound on his back and brought out a blood mark, and then Yang Yi took the sword to the ground, stood up strongly, opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood, looked at Chu Mofeng and smiled and said: "You kid is good at kung fu, you deserve to be the best in the world." ”

At this time, Chu Mofeng was already at the end of his strong crossbow, but the other party had not yet fallen, and he couldn't show his decline, so he straightened up suddenly, burned the sky and destroyed the world in his hand, and said with a smile: "What is the first in the world, it is all a false name, if it is not for the love of friends in the rivers and lakes, how can I have anything?"

Seeing this, Yang Yi straightened up, withdrew the long sword in his hand, and said with a smile: "Life and death are in this blow, you and I have our own destiny, if it is not hostile, maybe we can become friends." As soon as the words fell, the whole person rushed towards Chu Mofeng, and the long sword in his hand stabbed at Chu Mofeng like a spirit snake spitting out a letter.

Maybe it was because he hallucinated because of excessive bleeding from the wound, or maybe he had improved his martial arts attainments, looking at the long sword stabbed by the other party, Chu Mofeng was able to clearly see the frequency of shaking, and immediately Chu Mofeng's heart was horizontal, and he sneered and erected the iron shovel in his hand, rushing towards Yang Yi, silently chanting 'left, middle, right' in his heart, and the moment the long sword in Yang Yi's hand stabbed out, he caught the long sword in his hand, and he could not hold the long sword, seeing that Yang Yi could not advance or retreat, Chu Mofeng said with a smile: "Stop, you lost." ”

Who knew that Yang Yi shouted with a hideous face, "You are delusional, I haven't lost yet." Immediately, he heard a slight 'click' sound in his ears, Chu Mofeng immediately became vigilant, and then felt that the strength in his hand suddenly leaked, seeing Yang Yi pull out a short sword from the handle of the long sword, and stabbed it at Chu Mofeng's chest, the sharp blade was about to Chu Mofeng's heart, the whole person leaned back, a sliding step came behind the other party, both hands of the iron shovel on the ground, the whole person took advantage of the momentum to fly up, an upside-down flying foot kicked in Yang Yi's heart, the other party immediately staggered forward, and the moment Chu Mofeng landed, he only listened. With a bang, Chu Mofeng took advantage of the situation to destroy his left hand and turned his back behind him, and a force came with a 'ding' sound, and Chu Mofeng himself was shocked and staggered forward a few steps.

Turning to look at Yang Yi who was sitting on the ground, Chu Mofeng was relieved at this time, and said with a sneer: "I didn't expect that you would be able to fight to the death, this time you really lost." Looking at Chu Mofeng, who was also covered in scars on the other side, Yang Yi couldn't help but shake his head, his eyes closed and he didn't speak.

At this moment, the battle in the front yard has ended, a total of three hundred black-clothed people were all killed, when Liu Feiyan and others rushed into the backyard, they saw two people sitting paralyzed on the ground, one of them looked at himself and couldn't stop smirking, Liu Feiyan's eyes immediately turned red, he threw away the soft sword in his hand and rushed forward, hugged Chu Mofeng, and said with a little complaint: "You are stupid, why don't you wait for us to come in, in case you die, I... What are we going to do?"

I saw Chu Mofeng pointing at Yang Yi and said slowly: "Hurry up and let someone bandage him for treatment, don't die, I still have to send this kid to the capital." After speaking, his eyes were closed, and the whole person fell crookedly in Liu Feiyan's arms.

As soon as he saw Chu Mofeng in a coma, Gu Zhen'er, Xiao Ruolan, Yu Wenxiu and a group of Longcheng troops were immediately busy with chickens and dogs, at this time, Li Shiyun, the assassin of Luoyang, came with his garrison, and seeing Chu Mofeng being carried out, Li Shiyun thought to himself, this master should not die in Luoyang, otherwise I will have ten heads that are not enough for His Majesty to cut off, thinking of this, Li Shiyun hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "A few women, how is his Highness?"

"Nothing, bled too much and fainted. Seeing that the garrison in the city would not come until the battle was over, Gu Zhen'er immediately said with a cold face: "Deal with the corpses inside, and raid the Yang Mansion, remember, this Yang is Yang Guang, and after His Highness wakes up, we will immediately leave to return to Chang'an." After speaking, he beckoned the Longcheng army and carried Chu Mofeng towards the mansion of Mingyifang.

When the figures of the group disappeared, Li Shiyun breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the corpses in the courtyard and shouted: "Clean up the scene, give me a good search, if you can't find something useful, how can this official explain in front of Your Majesty?"

Three days later, Chu Mofeng woke up quietly, but he was about to get up but felt sore, looking at Liu Feiyan, who was already asleep on one side of the bed, Chu Mofeng was moved in his heart, and immediately shouted in a low voice: "Non-smoke, non-smoke, it's time to make up for it." ”

Liu Feiyan, who was asleep, heard someone tell him that he had made up, and immediately woke up, and then ran straight to the mirror to take a look, and kept shouting: "Where is the spent?" ”

Who knew that he heard a cheap laugh in the room, turned his head and saw that it was Chu Mofeng who woke up, and then rushed to the bed with an arrow step, and shouted excitedly: "Brother Chu, you are awake, you lie down first, I will bring you a bowl of porridge." ”

was about to turn around and leave, but was dragged into his arms by Chu Mofeng, and before Liu Feiyan could react, the cherry lips that had not been picked for many years were covered by a warm breath in an instant, at first Liu Feiyan was faintly resistant, but then his eyes were closed, and he trembled and hugged the other party's body.

After a long time, Liu Feiyan looked at Chu Mofeng with a flushed face, and said glutinously: "What is this? ”

"Just thank you for taking care of me these days without sleep, really thank you. Seeing this, Chu Mofeng smiled and said, "The room is full of the smell of fragrant powder on your body. ”

Liu Feiyan's cheeks turned red when he heard this, and he covered his face and ran out. After a while, Xiao Ruolan, who was dazed, walked in with porridge, looked at Chu Mofeng and said with a smile: "Brother Chu is awake, it seems that the medicine given by Ziyao is really good." ”

"How is the city now?" Always remembering the situation in the city, Chu Mofeng hurriedly asked, "Yang Yi is not dead, is he?"

"Hey, that guy, don't worry, the thirty Longcheng soldiers in the prison are watching. Xiao Ruolan frowned at first, and then said with a smile: "Brother Chu, you better drink the porridge first, and some food is good for the recovery of the injury." ”

It has always been Chu Mofeng's habit to be good as a stream, and immediately Chu Mofeng took the porridge bowl, drank the whole bowl of porridge in a suck, and then lay on the bed and sighed and said: "Ruolan, pass the order, tomorrow at noon, the whole army will return to the capital." ”

"What about Brother Chu, your injury?" Hearing that she was about to leave tomorrow, Xiao Ruolan couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"It's okay, it's right to go back one step earlier, the situation in the capital is a little uncertain, this time the case of disaster relief food has led to a lot of things, I need to go back as soon as possible to discuss countermeasures with Your Majesty." Chu Mofeng knew that the other party was worried about his body, but time was running out, and he had to go back as soon as possible to find out who the so-called official family in Yang Yi's mouth was.

Seeing that Chu Mofeng was so persistent, Xiao Ruolan immediately nodded, turned around and left the house to make arrangements, and then Li Shiyun took the main officials in Luoyang City and came to greet him with gifts, during which Qin Yingxue also came once, reported on the events of the past few days and left in a hurry.

At noon on the second day, Chu Mofeng and Fang Xuanling rode in a carriage, escorted by the Longcheng army of the other side of the flower, and drove towards Chang'an with a group of prisoners......

As the saying goes, the anger of the Son of Heaven is like the wrath of thunder, and look at Li Shimin in the court, and then look at Chu Mofeng in Chang'an City to welcome the festival, I want to know what will happen next, and listen to the next decomposition......
