"Why did the Son of Heaven kill them? Isn't this just an accident?"

Hong Chen couldn't believe it at all. As far as he is concerned, it is extremely difficult to kill a hateful person, and the lives that are buried in the fire tonight do not know whether there are thousands or tens of thousands?

"Accident?" the little merchant shook his head back and forth twice as he looked at the billowing black smoke in the red-hot night sky, "This is not an accident - how could it be an accident? I saw a few sheds, which were the first to burn, and they all collapsed to ashes, but I could see that the fire was not in the house, because the straw mats on the ground had not yet been burned, nor on the roof, because the grass that grew on the roof was still unfinished, but the corner of the outer wall of the shed, which had always been damp, and how could the fire be ignited in that place unless someone poured oil on it?"

Hong Chen asked again: "But if someone sets fire, must it be the Son of Heaven? What kind of hatred do these homeless people have with him?"

"Killing doesn't have to be hateful, or rather, those people don't think of killing as killing, but as slaughtering pigs and sheep or weeds and so on. The little man said, "Little brother, since you can save these homeless people, it means that you regard them as living people with ideas and feelings just like yourself." ”

Hong Chen nodded: "Of course." ”

"But some people aren't like you. ”

"Huh?"

The little man said: "Some people are contemptuous and arrogant, some people are selfish, and some people are insensitive. Whatever the reason, in their eyes, their own life is their life, and the life of the outcasts is not. The homeless people came to Tianjing in order to survive, doing the hardest work and living the lowest life. Who built the long city walls of Tianjing? Who built the imperial palace and gardens? But after the walls of the imperial palace stood and the long streets of gardens were erected, the homeless people became unstable existences, and each one was regarded as a potential criminal. Just as the building was raised, the craftsmen who built the building did not have the qualifications to live in the building, which was unprecedentedly prosperous, and the largest Tianjing in the world did not have a place for the homeless to stand. ”

Then he turned to face Hong Chen, and said: "When I saw you on the street that day, I knew that you had a unique skill, and I saw your righteous and courageous deeds today, and I want to join you in the great effort. I know that killing a man for a day will not be able to eliminate the world's troubles, but what he has done today is really a matter of common anger among men and gods. I will not hesitate to kill the Son of Heaven to comfort the souls of the dead. However, there are often guards around the Son of Heaven, and his martial arts are strong, and my helpers are limited. ”

Hong Chen stared at the little merchant in a daze, and then looked at the sea of fire, and his mind flashed over the children who had lost their parents, the parents who had lost their children, and the people who were hugging together, curled up, and the whole family died together, the people who were killed by Changge on the bank of the moat, the people who were killed by feather arrows in the moat, the tragic deaths, and the survivors who were in pain...... Even I don't know if it's really the extreme injustice in my heart, or if the alcohol is strong and the brain expands and the emotions are all in my heart, and I am always full of anger and burning, which is more fierce than the flames in this fire.

The black-body-white-bladed sword moved forward, and Hong Chen remembered the poem he had forgotten where he heard it for no reason, and shouted: "Ten years of sharpening a sword, the frost blade has never been tried." Although my sword is not a sword and has not been sharpened for ten years, it is a very famous treasure knife, and it has been sealed for 20 years, and it should come in handy!"

"Little brother is so proud!" the little man clapped his hands, "Without further ado, let's go and kill the Dog Emperor!" lest he return to the palace, where the terrain is intricate and we can't recognize the way!"

The little merchant then called three helpers, all of whom were agile and powerful in martial arts, and together with Hong Chen, the five of them crossed the sea of fire, crossed the moat, and rushed all the way to the east of the city.

The streets of Tianjing were chaotic, but the little merchant knew where the emperor would walk - even after a few moments, a whole day, no one was allowed to linger nearby, and in the noisy Tianjing City, which was immersed in the festive atmosphere, which street was silent, was the place where the Son of Heaven passed.

Hong Chen followed the little merchant closely, and found that although the other party was short, his body movements were extremely agile, and he ran in front easily, and the three big men behind had to work hard to catch up. Halfway through, the little merchant suddenly asked, "By the way, the little brother hasn't asked for your name yet?" Hong Chen's mind was full of scenes of slashing his head after meeting the Son of Heaven, and he was full of pride, he didn't think too much, and replied directly: "In Xia Hongchen." ”

The little merchant suddenly laughed and said, "Hahaha! It turns out that you are the leader of the Emperor Heavenly Sect that has been rumored recently, and I really found the right helper." Twenty years ago, the Emperor Heavenly Sect was vigorous, and now it is making a comeback, just killing the Zhao family's Heavenly Son Liwei first!"

Hong Chen saw that the little man did not reject the Demon Sect at all, and even praised his tone, so he said, "How much do seniors know about the Emperor Heavenly Sect?"

The little man said, "You are the sect leader, and you ask me what to do?" But as far as I am concerned, those who speak up for the poor peasants and fight against the powerful Emperor Heaven Sect are all the closest friends. Your former sect leader, I still have some contacts!"

Hong Chen was taken aback when he heard this, it turned out that the person he met knew the details of the Emperor Heaven Sect, so he said: "Senior, in fact, I am not the sect leader of the Emperor Heaven Sect at all, and the real sect leader is someone else. ”

"Hmph, it doesn't matter if you are the sect leader or not, as long as you go with me to kill the Dog Emperor, you are a real hero. The little merchant laughed a few times, "Brother Hongchen, if you say your name frankly, then I will also tell you my name - my name is Lu Ren, the road without a road at the end of the world, and the benevolence of heaven and earth." ”

"Lu Ren. ”

Hong Chen lightly read the name that should be given very casually, and then looked at Lu Ren's figure, and suddenly felt that this small body was taller than any hero he had seen in the Immortal Mountain Villa today.

Finally, we came to a lonely street, only a lot of soldiers stationed there. Lu Ren's footsteps slowed down and said softly, "The Dog Emperor shouldn't have arrived here yet, but it should be soon." After a while, when the dog emperor's car came, Brother Li, Brother Zhang, Brother Wang, the three of you attacked from the front, attracting these garrison soldiers and the emperor's guards, and Brother Hongchen and I descended from the sky from the side, attacked the royal driver, and took off the head of the Dog Emperor. ”

"Yes!"

Li Zhangwang and the three of them spoke in unison.

Hong Chen looked at these three people again, and saw that they looked resolute, and couldn't help thinking in his heart: "The martial arts of the three of them are really average, and in the face of the masters who protect the emperor, they will definitely have more life and less death, but they still came resolutely and resolutely, and resolutely accepted Lu Ren's arrangement that was tantamount to letting them die." Even a person with sparse martial arts can do this, Hong Chen suddenly made a deep determination: The head of the Son of Heaven, I have cut it off!
