Xiao Hai saw that Master and Ji Feng were looking at him and laughing, and Xiao Hai's little belly was bulging angrily.

The master came over and put his arm around Xiao Hai's shoulders and said, "Xiao Hai, is that my future daughter-in-law?" ”

Xiao Hai shook off his master's hand and said angrily, "Master, you don't mess around with mandarin ducks there." What are you two doing, when did you follow me?"

At this time, Ji Feng said: "My master and I left when we saw you and Miss Qiao Er walking together after you rescued people, and when I came back, the master saw that you had not returned for a long time, so he waited at the city gate, and everyone in the back saw it. ”

Xiao Hai said, "Senior Ji, why do you want to call me Master Master?"

Ji Feng said: "This matter has been talked for a long time, let's go back to the inn, this is not the place to speak." ”

After returning to the inn, the master asked Xiao Hai, "Xiao Hai, have you heard of the Valley of the Wicked?"

Xiao Hai shook his head and said, "Master, when did I leave you when I was so old, you told me about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, how could I know if you didn't tell me." ”

The master thought for a moment and thought that this was the truth, and then said, "Xiaohai, being a teacher is from this valley of wicked people. Hehe, Monsoon, tell him about the Valley of the Wicked and your origins. ”

Ji Feng nodded and said: "Xiao Hai, this Valley of the Wicked is not only known to you and even the entire rivers and lakes, but the people who know the existence of the Valley of the Wicked are either martial arts masters with rich experience in the rivers and lakes, or they are the secret figures of the court. This Valley of the Wicked was only found when the previous dynasty was founded, and it was the place where the imperial family and soldiers who were annihilated by Emperor Gaozu, the founding emperor of the previous dynasty, were exiled. Then it was named 'Valley of the Wicked'.

This place is in the 100,000 mountains in southern Yunnan, more than half of it is underground, covering the sky and the sun, the entrance is very hidden, and there are many fierce beasts in the mountain, even the hunters in the mountains may not know the existence of this place.

It is said that this was discovered when Gaozu of the previous dynasty sent people from all over the world to look for alchemy elixir. Gaozu imprisoned these people in the Valley of the Wicked, fearing that they would rebel in the future. But Emperor Gaozu of the previous dynasty still opened the net, and let the imperial families who destroyed the country manage it themselves, as long as they do not go out of this valley, Gaozu's court will never interfere.

This has brought about a consequence, some court felons or people who want to escape from the pursuit of the rivers and lakes like to run where they want to run when they are cornered, and regard the place as a place of last refuge.

After more than 200 years of baptism, fewer and fewer people now know. Even if someone knew about it, they couldn't find it, and some people were killed by the fierce beasts of the stars before they reached the Valley of the Wicked. Therefore, the person who can be found must be a person with great skills.

At the beginning, the royal family of the Valley of the Wicked originally thought that there was no hope of recovering the country, so they ignored nothing and let the people in the valley live at will, but after a long time, the food and drink in the valley itself was limited, and some people did the work of killing people and extorting goods in order to make their lives better, and over time it became an illegal place. Everyone can kill people, and in the end, even the royal family was slaughtered, and those royal women have long been reduced to the slaves of the strong inside, people eat people, and drink human blood This is a common thing, not to mention women, where women are, no one will treat them as human beings at all.

In this way, this valley has existed for nearly two hundred years under a concept of moral right and wrong. Later, a person named Yang Nianxiu heard that he was a remnant of the royal family. He relied on his martial arts to finally stand at the top of the Valley of the Wicked. However, in order to covet pleasure for a long time, he recruited a group of people with strong martial arts skills to establish a new organization of the Wicked Valley, and he himself regarded himself as the owner of the valley.

Then new rules were made in the Valley of the Wicked. He stipulated that special occupations, such as those whom he arranged for people to go in search of food, women who had sworn never to go out, and children who had not yet reached the age of ten could not be killed.

He made it clear that anyone who was going into the valley must carry a gift that satisfies him, otherwise he would be killed. The people of the Valley of the Wicked will never be allowed to go out of the valley, and if anyone wants to go out of the valley, he can, as long as he can kill a hundred people within a year.

These hundred people are all people who are going out, and they can only start killing if they get together to a hundred. People who go out of the valley can only go out alone at a time, and even if someone stands at the end, they have to win a master designated by the valley owner.

There is also a way, that is, every five years, the hunting season, everyone must participate, the valley owner will set a lottery head, the winner can get the valley owner's reward, that is, freedom. After you go out, never say that you are from the Valley of the Wicked, otherwise you will be chased to the ends of the earth.

But there are still people who go out and continue to do what they are captured by the government, and there are also people who can't stand the torture and recruit themselves from the Valley of the Wicked, and of course there must be people who deliberately aspire to the Valley of the Wicked. In the end, it alarmed the government, and at that time, the previous dynasty was about to send soldiers to suppress it, and the martial arts masters you know were still vulnerable in front of the disciplined army.

Later, the valley lord came forward to make a blood book, his descendants and never came out of the valley, and the villain valley would never fight against the imperial court, so the emperor at that time withdrew his troops, after all, Emperor Gaozu had a promise. The emperor at that time also allowed them to come out to purchase once a year in order to show his sincerity, and after all, the Valley of the Wicked was all wicked, and he would secretly take advantage of the outing to do some shady things. What used to be a few hundred people has now grown to tens of thousands. Today, the court also has such a gentleman's agreement with the Valley of the Wicked, if you don't go against the court, then I won't interfere with you.

There is also everything that has developed in the Valley of the Wicked, but the bloody slaughter has not stopped, except for the special occupations and specific occupations stipulated by the valley master of the Valley of the Wicked, no one can not kill accidents, and no one can die. Xiao Hai said that at this point, you should guess some clues, right?"

Xiao Hai said: "The predecessors are also from the Valley of the Wicked?"

Ji Feng nodded and said: "Yes, I am from the Valley of the Wicked, I am from Lingnan, because of the competition with people mistakenly killed someone, the result was the son of a master of the rivers and lakes, that person has been chasing and killing me, when I was desperate, in the rivers and lakes occasionally heard about the Valley of the Wicked and went to try my luck to escape, said that I also stole a sword given by the emperor from a corrupt official, took it to the Valley of the Wicked, and finally entered the Valley of the Wicked after all dangers."

I left the Valley of the Wicked fifteen years ago with the help of my master. Originally secluded in Chongzhou, but last month once I was resting at home, suddenly felt unwell in the incense, someone happened to come to attack me, I was powerless to fight again, I could only escape, the martial arts were strong and I shot the incense, I was stabbed into the river by a sword, and finally the iron law gang of the four masters saved me. This fourth master is also surnamed Ji and is named Ji Dada.

In Chongzhou, the iron law gang stench is far away, and I don't cut it down, but I can't help but repay the grace of saving my life. Ji Da treated me very well, and in the name of the Ji family, he had to be kind to me as a brother and brother, and he wanted me to join the gang, and he wanted me to give me the position of the fifth master.

But I didn't agree, and finally he said that he wanted me to help guard the goods in Yangzhou, as long as the goods were transported to the ship, our previous kindness was clear, and I had to agree. When I first arrived in Yangzhou, Ye Sandao told me that it was fireworks, because the government did not allow private reselling of fireworks and firecrackers, but the profit of this thing was very high, so they took a risk, I thought it was not a big deal, so I didn't think much about it.

But suddenly a heavenly official sent to investigate, and then he was suddenly taken away. Then Ye Sandao sent someone to transfer the goods, and when I opened the warehouse, I saw that there were more than a dozen women, I was shocked at the time, but for the sake of face, I didn't tear my face at that time. I had planned to wait for the woman to get on the boat, and I rescued you halfway, but I didn't expect to meet you. ”

Xiao Hai asked again: "Senior Ji, since there are still people who come out of the Valley of the Wicked who don't follow the rules, if they do evil, they will definitely be known by the government." So after so many years, how can the government still allow the people of the Valley of the Wicked to come out and do evil?"

At this time, the master said: "The agreement between the valley lord and the court back then was not to never leave the valley and never fight against the court, but they also had an agreement that someone could go out of the valley in a fighting way, although they had to be incognito and not let others know that they were from the Valley of the Wicked, but the people who came out of the valley must inform the court, and the Valley of the Wicked is also a secret in the court, and very few people know about it."

As long as there is a villain valley, everything has nothing to do with the valley of the wicked, but the person who comes out must serve the court once at a critical moment, so that the court will have its own bargaining chips when governing the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and there is no need to rely entirely on these rivers and lakes decency, and it is not excluded that they have already served the court. Monsoon, you should have received such an order when you came out of the valley. ”

Ji Feng hurriedly said: "The master is right, when I came out, the valley lord did tell me that my name will be known to the court as soon as I go out, and I can only choose a place to live in seclusion, so that someone can find me in the future." If one day someone asks me to work for the imperial court, I can't shirk it, and after I finish things, I will be free, but no one has looked for me since I came out of the valley. ”

Master continued: "It is easy to talk about the Valley of the Wicked every time you have to gather enough people who want to go out to start fighting, you can only meet it once in a few years or even decades, and the monsoon is lucky to meet it in two years, and some people in the valley will never meet it in their lifetime, and even if they do, they are old and weak, so they don't want to go out. ”

Only then did Xiaohai understand. He asked Monsoon, "Why do you call me Master?"

Ji Feng smiled and said: "I just arrived in the Valley of the Wicked, it has always been the master who is taking care of me, although I have some martial arts but in the Valley of the Wicked for absolutely or only three days, I am always humiliated, the master sees that I can't bear to kill people and keeps me by my side, according to the rules of the valley, I serve him as the master."

In the end, it was the master who taught me swordsmanship, and after I killed a hundred people, the valley lord actually let the master fight against me, and the master took the initiative to surrender at that time. I knew that the valley lord was furious at that time, but in the end he agreed, and only this time I didn't take it as an example, I knew that my hand with the master was simply a young son playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong, but the master took the initiative to admit defeat.

The master and I have the grace of recreation, so I will not doubt anything that the master does. ”

Xiao Hai looked at Master in surprise: "Master, how did you come out of your old man's house?"

Ji Feng said with a smile at this time: The master should have participated in the hunting season, after all, the hundred people I wanted to come out of that class have all died. ”

Master Hong smiled and said, "My situation is quite special, let's talk to Xiaohai about this later." Monsoon, tell me about the Iron Law Gang. ”

Xiao Hai had another ominous premonition when he heard it. Ji Feng said in surprise: "Master, you don't know about the Iron Law Gang?"

Master smiled and said, "I have been living in seclusion in Wuyou Town for more than ten years, and I have never asked about the affairs of the rivers and lakes except for taking Xiaohai into the mountains to cultivate. ”

Ji Feng smiled and said: "It's not strange, if you want to be a master, you don't have to pay attention to the affairs of the rivers and lakes." This Iron Law Gang has developed in recent years, and what I know is that Lao Nest is in the capital, and it is said that he has the background of high-ranking officials. ”

Xiao Hai answered: "It seems that yes, I have heard Ye Sandao say that he wants to find someone to suppress the Cui Governor's Mansion here." ”

Monsoon nodded and continued, "This Iron Law Gang has almost mastered half of the canal. and the largest Qinglou business in this area, and they are all official prostitutes. The capital also has good strength, and I heard about it when I was in Chongzhou. I've heard that I do some shady things in private, but it's very well hidden. However, the kidnapping of the girl should not be so easy for them to escape.

After I found out that it was a girl, I questioned Ye Sandao, and he insisted that it was planned by the fourth master, and it had nothing to do with him, and I really couldn't wipe my face and tore my face immediately, so I thought that after the girl was transported away, I would save people after I and the Iron Law Gang were cleared. ”

At this time, the master suddenly said: "Monsoon, a promise is more important than human life, this is not the Valley of the Wicked, if you want to help the evil because of a promise, what is the difference between you and you in the Valley of the Wicked?

At this time, Ji Feng suddenly knelt on the ground: "The master has taught me a lesson, Ji Feng has lived for so many years, and he has not figured it out. ”

Xiao Hai looked at it and had a hundred question marks in his heart, this monsoon looked like he was only a few years younger than the master, but his respectful attitude towards the master made him embarrassed, and it seemed that he would have to serve the master well in the future.

At this time, the master said: "Fortunately, you still have the heart to save people in the end, and there are multiple ways to repay your kindness, but in order to repay your kindness, you do something that hurts heaven and reason, then think about why you got out of the Valley of the Wicked alive." ”

Monsoon hurriedly said: "The villain has been taught. ”

The master asked Ji Feng to get up and speak, and after Ji Feng got up and sat down, he continued: "Whether this four masters have been instructed by others The villain doesn't know for the time being, this four masters have been entrenched in Chongzhou, and he covers the sky with one hand the underground forces there. Chongzhou Mansion is in good order for Chongzhou on the surface, but it turns a blind eye to this iron law gang, as long as there is no obvious evidence that they are doing something harmful to heaven and reason, they will not care if they do not harass ordinary people, and even the struggle between gangs, as long as there is not much movement, the local government Yin will not ask more. And there is a very strange thing, Chongzhou did not have a large number of girls kidnapped in Yangzhou. ”

After hearing this, the Master said, "Have you ever doubted Monsoon? Why did you fall for the incense and someone happened to be chasing you for no reason?"

Ji Feng said: "Although I have been incognito for more than ten years, I will occasionally do some chivalrous things when I can't see it, maybe there are enemies who come to seek revenge."

Master said, "Then why did Ji Dada save you just when you were chasing and killing? Why did the big man suddenly appear by the river, and he happened to ask you to guard these girls?"

Monsoon was at a loss. Master looked at Xiao Hai at this time, Xiao Hai thought for a while and said: "Senior Ji was assassinated, he happened to be rescued, and he happened to go to Yangzhou to guard the girl. If it wasn't calculated, it was too much of a coincidence. At present, there are only three aspects that know that Senior Ji is from the Valley of the Wicked, the first is the Valley of the Wicked, the second is the Imperial Court, and the third is also from the Valley of the Wicked, such as Master.

The possibility of Senior Ji being recognized by someone from the Valley of the Wicked is too small, after all, the master said that only a person will come out in a few years, and the person who comes out must also know Senior Ji, let alone know where he lives. But the court and the valley of the wicked knew. Then there are only two lines left, the first is that if the court leaks the news, the Iron Law Gang already has the support of high-ranking officials, and they kidnap the girl for fear that the matter will be revealed and find Senior Ji, and after the incident, it makes sense for Senior Ji and even the Wicked Gu to take the blame.

Iron Law helps to run an official prostitute Qinglou itself, and the reason for kidnapping the girl makes sense. Second, if it is the Valley of the Wicked, then the Valley of the Wicked takes the initiative to contact the Iron Law Gang to let them kidnap the girl and send them to the Valley of the Wicked, and this reason also makes sense.

But if it was done by the Valley of the Wicked, then there are still doubts, why let Senior Ji, who has left the Valley of the Wicked for more than ten years, not be afraid that the matter will be revealed, and Senior Ji will expose the Valley of the Wicked? Why do you kidnap the girl at a place 108,000 miles away from the 100,000 mountains? Aren't you afraid that the road is too far, these weak girls can't bear to die on the road? There is also a doubt, that is, if the kidnapping of the girl is successful this time, then where will Senior Ji go in the future? If you want to frame Senior Ji, then only if the action is unsuccessful, and then exposing the identity of Senior Ji's Villain Valley is the most direct, but obviously they are running for success, and I haven't figured out the reason for this.

This reason is only for Ji Dada to save Senior Ji, and then admire Senior Ji's martial arts, and then let him guard these girls to reassure him, so that it makes sense, saving Senior Ji is too coincidental and deliberate. If you don't go to Chongzhou to investigate, I don't understand. ”

Ji Feng looked at Xiao Hai in surprise, and the master nodded skillfully and said with relief: "Xiao Hai, your analysis is very correct, then let's go home later and go to Chongzhou to take you to play." ”

Xiao Hai said with a black line on his face: "Master, I miss Aunt Jin, the kind I want to be very special." ”

Master: "No, you don't want to, you want to go to Chongzhou." ”
