Chapter Seventy-Eight: Yang Xueshan
The protagonist who caused the violent fluctuations in the rivers and lakes this time was neither Zhang Ning, nor the prodigal son of the end of the world, not Zhang Baigong, not Xiaoyaohou, not Wu Xionglie, and Yuanxiu monk.
The real protagonist is Yang Xueshan.
Speaking of this Yang Xueshan, it is indeed a mysterious origin. This time, the drought in the eight northern states caused turmoil among the people, and countless rebels rose up.
Among them, there were instigated by the forces of the rivers and lakes, and there was also the support of the court figures. Zhang Baigong ordered Jin Chang to investigate, and it was found that a large number of clan royal relatives and a small number of loyal ministers were involved, killing an unknown number of people and beheading an unknown number of people.
Most of the rebels in the eight northern states were wiped out, and most of the rebel leaders were killed, and Yang Xueshan was the only one who escaped.
And Yang Xueshan's supporter is a clan prince who has been killed. At the beginning of his army, he called himself the general of Pingbei, and his slogan was not to overthrow the Yang dynasty, but to kill Zhang Baigong.
At its peak, the rebel army had 50,000 troops, swept through a state, and its momentum was unparalleled. And Yang Xueshan himself is a master of the realm, over seventy years old, showing his old state.
And before that, Yang Xueshan was unknown. Whether it is on the rivers and lakes, the court has not traced his information. In fact, Yang Xueshan is a dead soldier in the king's captivity, and he has never been on a bright floor, so it seems mysterious.
During this time, Changhe Prefecture laid a net to search for the whereabouts of Yang Xueshan. Where the hell is he hiding? The answer is in your mountain willow city.
It's called the more dangerous the place, the safer the place. In this huge Changhe Prefecture, the imperial court and the forces of the rivers and lakes have laid a net of heaven and earth, even the villages and towns have personnel to investigate, and if they find something wrong, they will immediately leak the news.
This Changhe Prefecture is mostly plains, and there are no deep mountains and old forests, which is not conducive to hiding. Therefore, it is safer to hide in this mountain willow city.
Moreover, Shanliucheng has many masters of the imperial court, and there are many masters of the rivers and lakes, and there are not many people from the second list of heaven and earth.
No one thought that Yang Xueshan was actually in Shanliu City, under the noses of many masters.
This is the genius of Yang Xueshan.
However, there is a cloud in the art of war, "If you hold it for a long time, you will lose." "On the rivers and lakes, the court doesn't know how many bounties have been offered, rewarding the whereabouts of Yang Xueshan, not to mention many masters, even ordinary people have also polished their eyes and want to find out Yang Xueshan.
On this day, the net was too tough to break through, and the mesh was small, and the fish of Yang Xueshan finally surfaced.
Who discovered Yang Xueshan in the end, this no longer makes any sense. The key thing is that Yang Xueshan has been discovered. In the east of the city, in a small alley.
Yang Xueshan was dressed in a brown shirt and dressed as a commoner, his body was stained with a lot of blood, and he was holding a stainless steel long sword, which was also stained with blood, and there were a few gaps.
Yang Xueshan rose and fell rapidly on the roof, and from time to time he trampled a few tiles. There are many chasing soldiers behind him, most of them are generals.
"Yang Xueshan, obediently hand over the Blood River Divine Skill, uncle, I am still waiting to go to the court to receive the reward. ”
"If you hand over the Blood River Divine Skill, I will keep your whole corpse, otherwise the five horses will be separated. ”
More than a dozen pursuers behind him shouted while chasing Yang Xueshan. With so many forces in the rivers and lakes, so many forces in the imperial court, Yang Xueshan is bound to die.
This ending will not change.
Not only did Yang Xueshan have seen the Blood River Divine Skill, but also because Yang Xueshan was the leader of the rebels.
Yang Xueshan was unmoved, and continued to walk in the direction of the center of the city. His face was extremely solemn, and from time to time there flashed with resentment.
He's a brilliant guy, and he can think of a lot of things. Now that he had been discovered, he knew he was going to die. But before he died, he wanted to do something.
He wanted to tell all the forces in the entire Changhe State that everyone was involved in a conspiracy, and this was a conspiracy.
Thinking of this, Yang Xueshan almost gritted his teeth. Someone took advantage of him.
He was originally ordered by his master to rebel and crusade against Zhang Baigong. Of course, there was a large amount of gold to use as a resource, but as the number of soldiers increased, the money was not enough.
Yang Xueshan began to loot the rich and unkind, or dig ancient tombs to obtain funds, and continue to recruit troops. One day, a man who claimed to be a tomb robber told him that there was a very complete ancient tomb in one place, which treasured countless treasures, but also had a lot of organs.
Tomb robbers can't get in, they can only get in if they dig with a large army. Yang Xueshan believed it, so he led the army to dig the ancient tomb, and the ancient tomb was indeed luxurious.
Gold and silver jewelry, countless. But the most precious thing is a book of "Blood River Divine Skills". After getting the Blood River Divine Skill, Yang Xueshan was stunned.
Because that ancient tomb was an ancient tomb two or three thousand years ago, and the Blood River God Cult only appeared one or two thousand years ago. In other words, it is impossible for that ancient tomb to have the Blood River Divine Skill as a burial, but it was only used by someone through the backdoor.
When he realized that something was wrong, Yang Xueshan went to ask the tomb robber, but the tomb robber was nowhere to be found. Immediately afterward, the news leaked.
Yang Xueshan was defeated by Zhang Baigong, and fled in a hurry, and it took an unknown amount of energy to reach this Changhe State.
But the experience along the way, he shuddered when he thought about it. It seems that there is a pair of big hands in charge, allowing him to reach Changhe Prefecture smoothly and lay a net in Changhe Prefecture.
triggered this turmoil.
He is like a shadow puppet, manipulated by threads, and involuntarily to the point where he is now.
It's definitely a conspiracy, a huge conspiracy.
But the terrible thing is that Yang Xueshan can't think of the purpose of the person behind the scenes. And it stands to reason that with the current development of the situation, with his ingenuity, he should be able to think of a little clue.
The person behind the scenes, with this blood river magic as a guide, led the small half of the rivers and lakes forces to reach Changhe Prefecture, what is the purpose?
Causing people to kill each other?
What role does the Blood River Cult play in this?
Maybe the people behind the scenes want to lure out who and then kill them?
Is the goal a celestial leader?
There are too many speculations about wealth, vendettas, power development, or something else, as many as stars in the sky, and Yang Xueshan has no clues.
Yang Xueshan was very resentful, and it was not easy to be used. So Yang Xueshan planned to struggle before he died, he wanted to go to the most lively place in the center of the city and tell the conspiracy.
Taking advantage of the fact that there are some miscellaneous soldiers chasing him now, when he arrives in the center of the city, there are many masters in the Heavenly Realm, but he will not attack easily.
Say it out loud, it's a conspiracy.
It's a small rebellion.
With this purpose in mind, Yang Xueshan desperately stimulated the true qi in his body, and even overdrew his own life, speeding up and heading towards the center of the city.
