Chapter 225: The Old Woodcutter in the Bamboo Forest

Regret is in place!

After that, Liu Liangbo took the lead, and a group of Liu clansmen knelt down "poof".

"The great kindness of all the benefactors, the Liu family will never dare to forget. I can't repay it, please accept my waiting. "Liu Liangbo is full of tears,

Shen Shifang didn't say a word, and went with his partners to help up the Liu clan people in front.

Shen Shifang helped Liu Liangbo up and said, "Patriarch, don't care, I'm just waiting for the meeting." If you want to thank you, thank you to the soldiers who defended us, they are the real heroes. ”

Even Kong Ling said: "Yes, how can we let you perform this great gift?"

Liu Liangbo came with him, and the people of the Liu clan also followed, and the former held his cane with trembling hands and said, "Dear benefactors, I wish you all the best." ”

Shen Shifang didn't speak, just nodded briefly, and left with everyone.

Their carriage has been repaired, and it is not a problem at all to seat eight people.

The three girls sat together, and Zhang apologized for riding the horse. And Shen Shifang's four men sat in a bunch, but they could also say something innocuous together.

Lian Kongling pointed to the map and said: "From here, you can enter the Xiyun Kingdom Guancheng in the evening, and then you can stay in the inn inside for one night." ”

Shen Shifang squinted and said, "You and Xiao Yang are pointing in the direction, I think of something." ”

With that, he closed his eyes.

In the evening, a group of eight people came to the Guancheng of Xiyun Kingdom. It is said to be a closed city, but the scale of this place is really unimpressive.

The dilapidated city walls and corner towers are all incomplete, looking like they are in disrepair.

Its defenders were even more astonishing, not only standing crookedly, but also throwing aside the weapons, and even more excessively, drinking and having fun in the city.

Needless to say, those soldiers guarding the gates of the city didn't need any customs clearance documents at all, just glanced at them and let them go.

This is the case with Guancheng, what will be the other important official roads? No wonder the horse thieves entered the Nanliu Kingdom with impunity and swagger, and also retreated with dignity.

Shen Shifang shook his head slightly, it seems that in exchange for peace in the world, it is not enough to rely on Nanliu alone, but also needs the mutual efforts of other countries.

There are very few people who pass through here, and generally if you enter the Xiyun Kingdom, you will pass through Shenliu City, which is the safest and best place to go.

They didn't say anything, and drove the carriage slowly.

The guards gave them a light glance and let them go.

Xiao Yang Sui followed the leadership of Su Muxin and found a small inn.

After a night of silence, they left the city, and found the bamboo forest before noon.

According to Li Qiuniang's guidance, after entering the Xiyun Kingdom, they went straight to the official road for 100 miles, and easily found this bamboo forest.

Xiao Yang couldn't wait to run in, looking left and right, as if trying to find something.

Shen Shifang and a few people also entered together, but when they got inside, they realized that after all these years, even if there were clues, I am afraid they would have been washed away by the rain a long time ago.

Shen Shifang didn't have much hope, and coming here just to reassure Xiao Yang.

"Shifang, what clues can this have? Even if they fought here back then, how could those traces remain until now?" Hua whispered.

Shen Shifang naturally understood, but he didn't say anything, and he also searched left and right, hoping to find something.

When a few people saw this, they were embarrassed not to look for it, so they could only follow his two brothers to look left and right aimlessly.

"What are you looking for?"

An old voice

The voice came.

A few people turned their heads to look in the direction of the sound, and an old woodcutter carrying dry firewood was looking at them with a questioning expression.

Shen Shifang walked over, saluted and said, "I've seen my predecessors, we are looking for some clues about the old people." ”

The old woodcutter put down the firewood, wiped the sweat with the coarse cloth on his shoulder, and said, "What clues? What clues? This is just a bamboo forest, what can there be?"

Shen Shifang didn't answer, but said, "Are you a resident of this neighborhood?"

The old woodcutter replied, "Then I don't need to ask? My ancestors have lived in Xiaowangpo, a mile outside this bamboo forest, for hundreds of years. ”

Shen Shifang and his companions' eyes lit up, and they seemed to have a plan in their hearts.

So, Shen Shifang asked: "May I ask my seniors, in these years, in this bamboo forest, do you know a major event that has happened?"

The old woodcutter said, "You mean what happened ten years ago, right?!"

Xiao Yang said excitedly: "That's right, it was ten years ago. Was anyone fighting here at the time?"

The old woodcutter looked at this group of people, all of them had extraordinary temperaments, behaved generously, and spoke politely, and felt that they were not bad people.

The old woodcutter sat down on the dry wood, took out a water bag and took a sip, and then said, "Are you talking about the fact that more than a dozen people died here at that time?"

Xiao Yang nodded and asked, "Do you know this?"

The old woodcutter smiled heartily and said, "Haha, how do you know, I was not far away. ”

Xiao Yang was about to speak, but Shen Shifang stopped him, who was worried that he was too impatient and couldn't ask anything.

I only heard Shen Shifang say: "May I ask my seniors, can you tell me about the scene back then?"

The old woodcutter said, "Who are you? If you are not from the government, I advise you not to inquire about this. ”

Shen Shifang shook his head and said, "No, we're just ......"

"That's right, it's people from the government who came to investigate what happened back then. ”

Before Shen Shifang finished speaking, Su Muxin rushed to speak.

The old woodcutter looked at Shen Shifang, then at Su Muxin, and asked, "Is that or not?"

Shen Shifang didn't know what Su Muxin was doing, but he was not a person from the Xiyun Kingdom's official mansion in the first place, so he couldn't deceive the old man, right?

He wanted to deny it, but he heard Su Muxin speak again.

"Yes, Su Muxin, the commander of the city of Xializhou, was ordered by the emperor to investigate the murder of that year. ”

When the words fell, everyone looked at Su Muxin in surprise. What is he trying to do with this lie? Just to get the old woodcutter to tell the truth?

There's no need to pretend to be a member of the government! You can completely move it with emotion and reason to let the old man tell the truth.

The old woodcutter said, "Do you have a certificate?"

Su Muxin smiled slightly, and calmly took out a token in his arms, on which were written the words "Commander of the Pear Prefecture".

Seeing this, Shen Shifang and several people opened their mouths in surprise, and they were able to put an egg in.

When the old woodcutter saw this, he quickly knelt down and said, "The little old man has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and he is so lazy, please don't blame the adults." ”

Su Muxin said: "Get up and speak, you will answer whatever he asks you." Otherwise, I will punish you for the crime of disobeying the emperor's orders. ”

The old woodcutter seems to be a man who eats soft and is afraid of hard, but now he is really afraid, and the sweat of the bean is dripping.

He hurriedly responded, thinking that he had not blackmailed them for money, otherwise he would have been arrested and sent to the official.

That's right, in fact, this old wood

What is the husband, see Shen Shifang, these are good people, these are all nonsense. He just saw that Shen Shifang was young and had no experience in the rivers and lakes, and wanted to use what he knew to make a fuss and blackmail them for a sum of money.

But fortunately, I asked if they were from the government, otherwise they would really be playing lanterns in the pit - looking for death ().

Shen Shifang thought about it carefully, and didn't care where Su Muxin got the token from, or ask it clearly.

So he asked, "Can you tell me about that year?"

The old woodcutter had no other thoughts at this time, and recalled: "At that time, I cut dry firewood and wanted to exchange it for some wine money, and when I passed by the bamboo forest, I heard the sound of fighting from the distance.

So, little old man, I was originally a restless person who loved to watch the excitement, so I mustered up the courage to get closer to see.

I saw that there were eighteen men in black attacking a man and a woman, but then again, that woman was really extraordinary, and her appearance was ......."

"Shut up, don't say these inconsequential things, or I'll cut your tongue out." Xiao Yang interrupted him.

This is okay, in front of himself, to judge his mother, this is unacceptable.

Fortunately, the old woodcutter is still valuable now, otherwise Xiao Yang would have given him a kick as soon as possible.

The old woodcutter looked at the fierce and vicious Xiao Yang, and his heart was shocked, and his palms were already full of sweat. This little guy is still young, and his words seem to be scaring people, but the murderous aura that comes out of his body ...... But it's real.

Can't afford to mess with it!

The old woodcutter said cautiously: "Ahem, those eighteen men in black are all holding long swords, and they are powerful. But the man and the woman did not fall behind, not only were they able to face the large number of enemies, but finally the man flew into the sky at once, turned into a sun, and smashed on the group of black-clothed people.

When the light was gone, no one stood up on the ground except a man and a woman. At this moment, another group of people appeared, and after some polite remarks, they went their separate ways, leaving only corpses all over the ground. ”

Shen Shifang's expression became solemn, this old woodcutter's words are almost exactly the same as what Li Qiuniang said, I'm afraid it's true.

But why did Lao Tian slander Li Qiuniang? Who is he?

Shen Shifang shook his head, allowing himself to put aside these messy things and deal with the current situation first.

He said, "Have you ever heard what they say?"

The old woodcutter looked thoughtful, and didn't say a word for a long time.

Su Muxin roared: "Hurry up, be careful that I will cure you for the crime of obstructing military affairs." ”

Su Muxin's ...... The charges are at your fingertips!

Shen Shifang couldn't cry or laugh, and said: "Don't worry, you think slowly, think carefully, don't miss anything." ”

The old woodcutter suddenly screamed strangely and said, "Ah! I remember, what did they say about the Seven Halls Sect, and what did they say about the Falling Flower Xuan." The man and woman are called Yang Songfeng and Zhou Yiying, and the person who came is a girl, named Li Qiuniang. ”

Xiao Yang's heart was beating wildly, and he was really his parents.

Shen Shifang asked in surprise, "Is there anything else?"

The old woodcutter glanced at Su Muxin and said, "Also, it is said that the man in black on the ground is from the Dusk Snow Sect. I don't know what this Twilight Snow Sect is, and then they left. ”

Twilight Snow Sect!

Shen Shifang looked at Lian Kongling in surprise, who was also looking at him.

It's not wrong!

This matter actually involves the Twilight Snow Sect, and this matter is probably not that simple.

"Have you ever heard them talk about Moon Shadow House?"
