Chapter 40: Jiyang City Closed overnight
The people of Tianlan haven't seen a large number of officers and soldiers walking on the streets for a long time, right? Yes, because the world has been peaceful for so long, that many people have forgotten the scene of the blood spilled in the Spring and Autumn Period and the subsequent chaos of the Three Kingdoms!
Now that the Guiyun Empire occupies the north of the Beihai Sea to recuperate, the Jiuyang Empire is ready to move but it is also its duty, this Tianlan Empire, as the first dynasty in the Central Plains, is also peaceful, but it is easy to forget those unpeaceful days after being peaceful for a long time.
Xu Zitong looked at the wooden coffin that was slowly closed, and then closed his eyes gloomily, "It's me who is wrong, it's me who indulges you too much"
"Your mother told me before she died, take care of you, you are still young!"
Speaking of this old man who had also fought on the battlefield, his fists were clenched, and his eyes were full of bloodshots: "My son, my father will definitely avenge you!"
"Closing Jiyang City tonight, I want to uproot this Liu family!!"
"Find the young man who killed the young master, I will break his body into thousands of pieces......"
The guards outside the door knelt down and nodded when they heard Xu Zitong's words: "Obey!!"
............
That night, there was a sword-wielding woman with a little white cat in her arms walking all over Jiyang City, many Taishou Mansion guards were killed, and even the house slaves of Taishou Mansion in the major strongholds, these are all people who do all kinds of evil, but this also makes Ye Tingcheng become a female Shura tonight.
This night was really not peaceful, Mo Fan and the three of them began to fight on the long street, from Shu Mountain down to the south of the Yangtze River, this road is full of dangers, has killed many people, and has also seen the unparalleled Ling Wushuang in the world, the black and white impermanence of Tianmen, two of the eight demons in the rivers and lakes, Mo Fan is no longer a young man who has just entered the rivers and lakes.
"Bang!!" Mo Fan avoided two of them with Cold Moon in his hand, and then kicked one of them away.
That leader is worthy of the realm of unity, even if Mo Fan has a knife in the early winter, he can't help him, Mo Fan has no choice but to dodge and dare not fight head-on
"You only have the ability to play tricks?" said the leader, mockingly.
Mo Fan didn't argue but was thinking seriously, if it was really one-on-one, he would have a knife in the early winter, thirty percent sure that he would kill this person, and sixty percent sure that he could beat him, but the other two were a little in the way!
"Six Tips for the Proud Sword - Hurricane Tips"
"Whoosh!!" "Whoosh!" Two sword lights flew and condensed into a tornado, and the wind blew through the streets, bringing up a lot of wind and sand.
Mo Fan grinned and moved behind the wind and sand in the next second, the blade of the Cold Moon Knife lit up, and the next second directly cut a person's throat!
"Poof!!" Between the backhand, the other person was also pierced by the Cold Moon Knife.
"Clever, useless!" The leader didn't care at all about the life or death of the two wastes.
He crossed the wind and sand and stabbed Mo Fan with the short sword in his hand, but before Mo Fan could react, "Poof!" was pierced through the shoulder.
"Bang!!" Mo Fan raised his foot and kicked the leader out directly.
He didn't care about the wounds, because if he dared to be careless now, he would die!
"You are like a killer these two times, Qianxun Gate has long been destroyed, and the Nangong family will not help other court people except for the Jiangnan Palace"
Saying that, Mo Fan looked at the leader and said, "Taishou Mansion privately raises killers, this is a violation of Tianlan's criminal law."
"So what, it depends on whether you have the life to tell anyone else!" the leader snorted coldly and disappeared in place.
Mo Fan frowned, this hand is indeed a killing skill, and his body and speed are good.
"It's a pity, a good killer," Mo Fan sighed, then grinned and stabbed the Cold Moon Knife in his hand to the right.
Sure enough, the leader appeared on the right side in the next second, the short sword blocked the Cold Moon Knife, and he said puzzledly, "How do you know?"
"Hehe, you are a good killer, but you are not good or powerful, except for good body skills and speed, you do not have any characteristics of a killer!"
Mo Fan stretched out his hand and pointed to the lantern on the roof, "Now there is no wind, but the lantern is moving, and it is moving!"
"Damn!" the leader cursed.
Mo Fan flicked away his short sword with a strong Cold Moon Knife with his right hand at this time, and then clenched his left hand into a fist, "Bang!!" and punched him in the chin.
Then the cold moon in Mo Fan's hand directly "poof!" pierced the leader's right arm.
"You lost, Ben Gongzi survived again" Mo Fan smiled self-deprecatingly, no one knew what he was laughing at.
"Not necessarily, hehe!" the leader smiled the moment he fell to the ground, a mocking smile.
Mo Fan sighed in his heart, a bad premonition hit his heart, he subconsciously looked around, at this moment there was a breeze blowing through the streets, lanterns were swinging, and the wind chimes in front of some houses were also ringing.
"Whoosh!!" A black flying knife struck at Mo Fan.
Mo Fan raised the Cold Moon Knife with his backhand, "Wow!!" to block the incoming flying knife.
"Who?" Mo Fan shouted towards the empty surroundings.
"When I was chased and injured, Xu Feng had the grace to take me in, although it was a transaction, it was also a kindness, I have three moves, if you stop me, you will leave, and if you can't stop it, you will be invited to die!"
A hoarse voice came from nowhere, and it was impossible to distinguish between men and women and ages when they heard the voice, and Mo Fan couldn't hear where the voice came from.
"Whoosh!!" "Whoosh!!"
In an instant, countless black flying knives appeared in all directions, such a scene did not look like an attack from one person at all, like an attack by many people together, but this was indeed an attack by one person.
"Hum!!" the Cold Moon Knife made a slight sound, and Mo Fan kept fending off the flying knives.
But how can you stop the "poof!"
"Poof!!" Two throwing knives were plunged straight into Mo Fan's right leg and left arm.
"Bang dang!" the Cold Moon Knife fell, and Mo Fan fell to his knees on one knee because a flying knife cut through his right hand.
"Damn, His Royal Highness is going to die here?" Mo Fan muttered while covering his left arm.
He was thinking about how to escape, Shu Mountain went down to the south of the Yangtze River, met the black and white impermanence, met the peacock and the white phoenix, met the rain demon Bai Lige and the power king Ludi, he survived, and now without Xiahou Xiongba by his side, he will die? He definitely doesn't believe this kind of joke!
"Last resort, it's time for you to die"
The voice came, followed by a flying knife, which rushed straight to Mo Fan's eyebrows at an extremely fast speed.
"It's over, I can't dodge!" Mo Fan frowned, but he couldn't do anything.
"Bang dang!"
The long sword stood horizontally to block this flying knife, the sword was an ordinary sword, the person was a young man, ragged but very handsome, he looked heroic and sassy, his body was slender, his eyes were as clear as a pool of water, and his long black hair was scattered on his shoulders, but Mo Fan looked at the most valuable thing in his body was the flute hanging from his waist, right?
"It's disturbing to dream, the fucking master just fell asleep," the young man snorted to the ground, and then said, "Is there anything else?
There was no sound around, and it seemed that the man had said three moves, and he had already left after three moves.
The young man turned his head and put away his long sword, then looked at Mo Fan, "Hey, you can't die, right?"
The indulgence of the young man made Mo Fan feel a little good, Mo Fan let out a sigh of relief, and then sat on the ground, "I can't die, it's okay!"
"Jiyang City is very lively tonight, is it your reason?" the young man asked.
Mo Fan looked at the young man and nodded without hesitation, "Yes, I killed Xu Feng, the son of the Taishou Mansion."
"Oh, I don't know"
The young man pursed his lips, then yawned and walked towards a pile of groceries on the side of the street, then lay down on it, pressed the groceries against his body, covered the cool breeze, and closed his eyes.
"You're just sleeping here?" Mo Fan couldn't help but smile, and then said, "Isn't it cold? I was wandering the rivers and lakes, and my silver was stolen, and I still know how to find someone to spend the night or find a broken temple!"
"I don't want to trouble others, I can sleep anywhere in the big world!" replied impatiently.
Mo Fan nodded, then picked up the Cold Moon Knife, and was about to leave, he took two steps and then said, "What's your name?"
"Ling Cliff"
"The Central Plains' surname is Ling?" Mo Fan asked puzzled.
The young man turned over in the pile of groceries and said, "Master doesn't have a surname!!"
Mo Fan nodded, then said, "My name is Mo Fan," and left after speaking.
There were bursts of snoring in the silent streets, and the world was a bed and the world was a young man who was at ease, and this river and lake were also different......
......
In the inn, looking at Xiao Liuli, who was already asleep after being sent back by Ye Tingcheng, Xiahou Xiongba shook his head helplessly.
He walked to the window and looked at the night sky outside, "This kid is really not a stable lord"
Xiahou Xiongba remembered the man who was dressed in white and had a peerless demeanor, on his family background, he was the son of the Mo family, his father was an imperial general, on the battlefield he was a saint-martial general who used soldiers like a god, and he was also amazingly talented and glamorous when he entered the rivers and lakes, and he had a martial arts talent that was praised by the head of Shushan Taiwei, but it was a pity that he died, and he died in an unknown way, trapped in the quagmire of the besieged valley, and ten thousand arrows pierced his heart, which was a loss of a famous general for the Tianlan Empire, and a loss of an amazing junior for the rivers and lakes.
At that time, no one in the court could compare with him, and no one in the younger generation of the rivers and lakes could compare with him, and he also admired him very much, didn't he?
Although this Mo Fan is different from his father, he still has to protect him, because Xiahou Xiongba owes Jun Tianxin a favor.
When he was young, his hometown was raided by bandits, and it was that Jun Tianxin who passed by and rescued his hometown, he was a member of the Mo family, so he also owed the Mo family!
"Stinky boy, let's toss hard"
Xiahou Xiongba closed the window and grinned, "With Lao Tzu protecting you, you will come back to me if you can't solve the thief spirit, right?"
"Sleep!!"
............
On the street, Mo Fan limped and walked with no strength on his body.
"Damn, how can this little Taishou Mansion have so many guards, house slaves"
Mo Fan muttered a few words in his mouth, but unfortunately what he didn't know was that Jiyang City was different from other places, because Xu Zitong used to be a lieutenant of the Jiangnan Palace, and after he was named Taishou, many of his subordinates still followed him to become the guards in the palace, because once upon a time, this old man was also an extremely brave general and a loyal person.
"There should be a lot of officers and soldiers that can be mobilized by the Taishou Mansion, and it is estimated that it will not be so easy tonight."
Mo Fan couldn't walk anymore so he sat in front of a restaurant, and he looked up at the restaurant where he met Liu Jingling during the day.
"Hey, are you hungry?" a voice said.
Mo Fan turned his head to see that it was the big guy called Xiongzhong Mountain during the day, and the big guy was sitting on the steps on the other side eating white steamed buns and said.
Then the big man looked at the other steamed bun in his hand, then hesitated, walked over, and sat next to Mo Fan, "Give, take a bite"
"Why don't you sleep in here here?" it was the third watch in the middle of the night," Mo Fan took the steamed bun and said.
Xiongzhongshan smiled honestly, "Do the work, chop wood, carry water, do tomorrow's work, and then eat"
"Every day I wait for these two steamed buns in the evening, it's delicious!"
Mo Fan was about to bite his mouth, and stopped: "You want to do a restaurant by yourself, what work do you need to prepare tomorrow?"
"That's right," Androgen nodded.
"And then just give you two steamed buns?"
"No, there are twelve steamed buns to eat every day," Xiongzhongshan replied honestly.
Mo Fan looked at the size of Xiongzhong Mountain, and then said, "Have you eaten enough?"
"I can't eat enough, but I can't starve to death, every two or three days when I have to go to the mountains outside the city to chop wood, I will make a lot of wild beasts and roast them to eat."
Mo Fan thought about Liu Jingling's words during the day, and then asked, "Didn't you come here on the recommendation of the city lord, since you won't even be allowed to eat a full meal here, why don't you go back and tell the city lord?"
"Not long after I came, I started to be very generous, blaming me for having too much food, and the shopkeeper really can't afford it, and I will lose money every day when I eat in the restaurant."
Saying that, Xiongzhongshan scratched his head embarrassedly, "I'm also embarrassed to trouble the city lord, the city lord is very thrifty, so the house is not rich, his wife doesn't like me very much, the city lord sent me to his brother's restaurant, saying that I can take care of the food here."
"Haven't you had parents since you were a child?" Mo Fan asked puzzled, he didn't know why his parents didn't care about him.
Xiongzhongshan's eyes were a little gloomy, "My parents were killed by robbers when I was a few years old, and I escaped by myself, and I have been alone since I was a child"
"Big man, I'll eat you a steamed bun today, and I'll give you a table of meat tonight."
Xiongzhongshan smiled, "If you have silver, buy me steamed buns, just enough to eat."
Mo Fan patted Xiongzhongshan's shoulder and didn't speak again, but he was inexplicably a little sad, is there such a person in this peaceful world? Yes, no matter what prosperous dynasty is, there is no shortage of bitter, miserable, and desperate to live......
But despite this, Xiongzhongshan still lives happily, without compassion and compassion, and does not hate God's injustice......
Mo Fan took the steamed bun with white flowers and ate it in a big gulp, he has seen a lot of rivers and lakes in the past three years, and he will see more in the future.
"Da Da Da!!" a large group of soldiers ran towards here, dozens of people.
The one who took the lead was the Xu Mansion guard in civilian clothes, and the guard saw Mo Fan, and he happened to be there today.
"It's him, the one who killed Childe!!"
Mo Fan raised his head violently and swallowed the steamed bun, and held the handle of the Cold Moon knife in his right hand.
"You eat, I'll help you beat them," Xiong Chongshan said as he stood up from the side.
Mo Fan was stunned for a moment and said, "Do you know why?
"I'm not stupid, I've heard it all today" Xiongzhongshan grinned, "They all said that the person you killed should be killed, and what the people said must be right!"
"You can use a knife?" Mo Fan wanted to give him the Cold Moon Knife.
Xiongzhongshan shook his head, and then walked over, "I'll use my fist!"
"Catch him, kill him," the guard shouted from his feet.
"Whew!!" "Whew!!"
A large number of soldiers ran towards this place with guns, and Xiongzhongshan rushed up alone, and Xiongzhongshan, who was two heads taller than ordinary people, pounced like a giant.
"Boom!!" he grabbed a gun, and then with his right hand, he screwed the gun straight away!
"Huh!" Several guns stabbed one by one, and Xiongzhongshan directly clamped it in his arms on the right, and then threw seven or eight people out five or six meters away with a force.
"Ahh
Xiongzhongshan did something at this time that made Mo Fan's jaw fall, he violently lifted up the dilapidated iron door panel that was leaning on the side, the iron door panel was 100 catties, and Xiongzhongshan picked it up with his right hand and waved it directly.
"Boom!!" "Poof!!"
More than a dozen people were directly knocked out of the air, "Ah!!"
"Bang!!" The huge iron door panel knocked down many people.
Mo Fan swallowed the last bite of steamed buns on the side and muttered, "Damn, it's fierce!"
The rest of the soldiers stood there and didn't dare to move, and the guards were already frightened.
"Brothers, don't be afraid!"
"Up!!"
Xiongzhongshan took a few steps back, there were two stone lions at the door of the restaurant, he directly put his hands on them and then forced, "Ah!!"
The stone lion fixed here directly "boom!!" rose from the ground!
"Boom!!" Majestic Mountain threw it out, "Bang!!"
A big hole was smashed into the ground, and all the soldiers immediately scattered "Run!!"
"What the is a monster!!"
Xiongzhong Mountain had no rules and no martial arts moves, dozens of soldiers were knocked down more than twenty, and all the rest ran away......
"Big brother, fuck you, this is divine power!" Mo Fan exclaimed in the back.
Except for Xiao Zhan, Mo Fan has never seen a person with such divine power!
Mo Fan thought to himself, "If someone teaches him martial arts and then takes him to the imperial capital, he and Xiao Zhan may be able to beat up that invincible Yuwen!"
"Hehe, when I was a few years old, my strength was the same as that of an adult, and when I was a teenager, I could lift a copper lion!" Xiongzhongshan scratched his head and said.
Mo Fan smacked his lips and exclaimed, "Innate divine power, no worse than Xiao Zhan!"
"Have you eaten enough? I still have roast wild boar two days ago hidden in my house......" Although he said this, Mo Fan still saw the tangled and reluctant appearance of Xiongzhong Mountain.
Mo Fan smiled and then stood up, "I'm not hungry, you can keep it!"
"Okay!" Xiongzhongshan smiled happily, his appearance was so simple, this burly body really didn't fit this character.
Mo Fan stretched, then looked at himself bandaging the wound that was no longer bleeding with his clothes, and said, "I'm leaving, I still have business!"
"Let's go, I'm going to sleep too," Xiongzhongshan began.
Mo Fan nodded, then turned around and left with the Cold Moon Knife, waving his hand as he walked, "I'll give you back this steamed bun another day!"
"Okay, I'll wait for you," Xiong Chongshan grinned as he looked at Mo Fan's back.
............
It's already the second half of the night, and Jiyang City has been completely blocked.
The Liu family was surrounded by officers and soldiers, and the three heads of the family were confronting each other outside.
In the courtyard, Lin Yun sat under the willow tree and looked at the sky, "When are you coming back, things are getting more and more serious"
"Are you waiting for me!" Liu Jingling walked over from behind step by step, looking at the back of the beautiful woman, with a happy smile on the corner of his mouth.
Lin Yun turned his head, then stood up and pounced directly, with tears in his eyes, "You are finally back, do you know that I am almost going to marry that Xu Feng!"
"I'm sorry!" There were only these three people, and Liu Jingling didn't know what to say.
At this moment, Lin Yun's tears couldn't be stopped, no matter how strong a girl is, she also has a weak side, but this side will only be seen by the people she loves
"Yun'er, if you can survive tonight"
Liu Jingling touched Lin Yun's hair and said softly, "We will never be separated again, we will no longer take the sword, and we will not go to the rivers and lakes, so we will accompany you like this."
"Fool, but I like to watch you practice swords!" Lin Yun said with a smile as she wiped her tears.
Liu Jingling also smiled, "Okay, then I'll do what you like, but I won't go to the rivers and lakes again, I'll always be with you"
"Hmm!" Lin Yun nodded and leaned into Liu Jingling's arms, he felt that this was the happiest thing in the world.
Some people may say that Liu Jingling has no potential, and others may say that a man gives up his dream for a woman, gives up practicing swords, and travels the rivers and lakes, just to accompany a woman, is it worth it?
But if Mo Fan was here, he would think that there was nothing wrong with Liu Jingling, there was nothing more important in this world than accompanying his beloved, and love was not worth it......
Everyone has the right to choose their own life, and you can't be unhappy because others don't choose what you think he should choose, maybe in his eyes he chooses his dreams and the right things.
In fact, no matter what choice you make, as long as you are right, everyone's path is different......
"Yun'er, it's time for us to go out" Liu Jingling looked at the light of the torches outside the mansion and said, "Since we have caused trouble, we have to bear it, but I don't regret it!"
"I'll accompany you!" Lin Yun took Liu Jingling's arm and returned with a smile.
Liu Jingling nodded, and then walked out with Lin Yun, "In this life, I, Liu Jingling, should also be vigorous once!"
There is no turmoil in her heart, and his heart is also calm, as long as there is each other by his side, it is enough, and it doesn't matter if the sky falls......
Tonight's moonlight slowly began to become extraordinarily bright, Jiyang City, which was closed overnight, the Liu family surrounded by officers and soldiers, and a pair of young lovers slowly walked out of the mansion, everything started because of them, and it will end because of them!!
