Volume 1, Concubine Xiaoxiang Chapter 16, Linjiang Immortal
Different from the slaughter and thrilling scenes outside, Han Shantong and Liu Futong were sitting in the room at the moment. The house is fragrant and smoky. The portrait of King Maitreya Buddha hanging on the wall is open and open, smiling. If he has a spirit in the west and knows that the disciples who believe in him are doing murderous deeds, I don't know if he can still laugh?
The fire outside the house was skyrocketing, and Han Shantong's cheeks were red, and he and Liu Futong sat on the chairs, looking at each other, but they didn't say a word. After a long time, Luo Wensu pushed the door in, and Han Shantong saw that the left side of his face had a terrible scar, and asked: "Brother, you are injured!"
"This was injured by that Yang Wenyuan!" Luo Wensu shouted: "King Ming, it's not good, that group of people is really powerful! Xiao Yanyu and Yang Wenyuan killed Lu Tong and fled! Tang He and Xiao Qingshan also escaped from the encirclement!"
As soon as Han Shantong heard this, he immediately jumped up from his chair, anxious, like an ant on a hot pot: "How should this be good! After listening to the sect leader's order, not only did we not kill a few people, but we also lost our troops. At this time, it is the time to employ people, first lost Mu Yan, and then lost Lu Tong, and they will be powerless to deal with Xu Shouhui and Peng Yingyu in the future!"
Liu Futong snorted coldly: "Our original intention was to invite Guo Zixing and Qin Shuyuan to come and discuss the alliance, so as to strengthen the power of our Red Turban Army, but we didn't want the sect leader to let us kill him quickly, causing us to have a bad relationship with Guo Zixing and Qin Shuyuan, and also lost many brothers! All these sins should be borne by the sect leader alone!"
Luo Wensu was shocked and shouted: "Brother Liu, the sect leader is the head of my White Lotus Sect, the spirit of the Red Turban Army, it is very inappropriate to judge the sect leader like this!"
"What's wrong!" Han Shantong's eyes widened angrily, and he was indignant: "He is just the master who taught me the White Lotus Doctrine, and he was brought by me to be a puppet." He didn't make the slightest contribution to our Red Turban Army, and he did unbearable things with that white lotus boy all day long! Although I, Han Shantong, am a cloth cloth, I have created such a foundation, but I am restrained by him everywhere, and I am really depressed! If it weren't for him as my master, I would have wanted to kill him a long time ago!"
Seeing that Han Shantong was very angry, Liu Futong frowned, grabbed his arm, and said, "Brother Han, although the sect leader is unbearable, you must not do stupid things, go and kill the sect leader!"
Han Shantong's eyes lit up, and murderous aura surged in an instant: "Futong's words have won my heart! This shameless old thief, I have long seen him as unpleasant! I will kill him today to get out of this evil breath!" As he spoke, he pulled out a knife from the table and pushed the door away angrily!
Liu Futong and Luo Wensu hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, but they were both pushed away by him: "The two virtuous brothers don't need to persuade again." On that day, I was ignorant for my brother, and I regarded him as the leader of the White Lotus Sect, but unexpectedly brought such a disaster to my Red Turban Army, if I don't kill him today, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart! If the two virtuous brothers persuade him again, Hugh blames him for turning his face and denying people!"
Liu Futong and Luo Wensu saw that what he said did not seem to be false, and they also knew Han Shantong's temper, so they didn't dare to stop him anymore, so they could only let him go!
Luo Wensu smiled bitterly, and the scar on the left side of his face was very terrifying: "Brother Liu, what should we do?" Liu Futong showed a sinister smile at the corner of his mouth: "Act when you have the opportunity!"
Han Shantong came to Mao Zisheng's door angrily with a knife. At this time, the lights in the house had been extinguished, and there was a sound of snoring, which must indicate that the old thief was asleep. Han Shantong secretly scolded in his heart: You old thief, the brothers of our Red Turban Army were born and died outside, but you are enjoying happiness in this gentle township, you really deserve to die!
A loud noise woke up the sleeping Mao Zisheng and the White Lotus Boy, who were lying naked on the bed. Mao Zisheng saw Han Shantong carrying a knife, and he was angry, and scolded: "Han Shantong, you dare to bring a knife here, do you want to kill me?"
"What can I do if I kill you!, you shameless old thief, don't forget that it was me Han Shantong who supported you to have today!" Han Shantong roared angrily and slashed towards Mao Zisheng. The White Lotus Boy screamed in fright and rolled under the bed!
Mao Zisheng was so frightened that he hurriedly dodged, Han Shantong slashed the air with a knife and chopped on the bed, with a click, the jade bed broke, and Mao Zisheng also rolled off the bed!
Mao Zisheng was so frightened that he shouted for help, and the angry Han Shantong stepped forward and stepped on his chest: "You old thief, go to your western heaven to enjoy yourself!
Raised his knife and slashed down. With a whoosh, a feathered arrow flew from outside the door, hitting Han Shantong's back impartially, and passing through his chest! Han Shantong's body suddenly froze, and the knife in his hand hung in the air, and he couldn't fall down!
Han Shantong turned around slowly, staring blankly at the vast night outside the house, but there was no one! This cold arrow came suddenly, and he didn't know who put it, he looked around blankly, and his body couldn't help but tremble!
Gradually, due to excessive blood loss, his eyes were in a trance, and Mao Zisheng's figure became blurred. With a sigh of relief, he held the knife and slashed towards Mao Zisheng again, but he had no strength, and the big knife came out of his hand and fell to the ground!
Han Shantong's eyes were in tears, he roared on his back, his body could no longer stand steadily, and he fell to the ground. This heroic man of the generation who led the uprising of the Red Turban Army finally died of anger! His eyes were not closed, and his ambition to be the lord of the world was completely ended at this moment!
Outside the door, footsteps sounded, and Liu Futong walked in with a smile on the corner of his mouth. Looking at Han Shantong's dead corpse, he sighed softly: "Brother Han, Hugh blames the brothers for being ruthless, those who have achieved great things in the past are cold-blooded and ruthless, you are too benevolent, and you are not suitable to compete with those people for the world! Let it go! I will treat my sister-in-law and Lin Er well!"
Mao Zisheng breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Futong, you are really scheming, first borrowed the hand of Han Shantong to attract Guo Zixing and Qin Shuyuan's righteous army, and asked me to order Shantong to kill him, and then took advantage of him to secretly release cold arrows when he wanted to kill me, removing the biggest obstacle in your life." In the future, it can be said that Guo Zixing and Qin Shuyuan are Han Shantong's words, so that the two of them do not hate you, and they are worthy of being my disciples of Mao Zisheng! It is really insidious and cunning! Hahahaha!"
Liu Futong's face changed, and he sneered: "Han Shantong's death can deceive Guo Zixing and Qin Shuyuan, but it can't deceive my brothers in the Red Turban Army." But if their beloved King Ming fought with the White Lotus Sect Leader for the power of the Red Turban Army and both of them were killed, would they believe what they said? Master!"
Mao Zisheng heard the meaning of his words and exclaimed: "Liu Futong, what do you mean!"
"What do you mean, can't you hear it, an old thief?" Liu Futong sneered: "Now you are the only one who knows my plan, if I don't kill you and let you hold the handle in your hands, I, Liu Futong, will have trouble sleeping!"
Mao Zisheng trembled with fright, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Futong, no, Lord Liu, spare the little old man! I swear that I will keep my mouth shut and never mention this to outsiders!"
"Compared with your oath, I believe that the dead are really tight-lipped!" Liu Futong picked up Han Shantong's knife and slashed towards Mao Zisheng, and the blood was chaotic in the sky!
There were bursts of crying in the darkness, but it was the white lotus boy who was frightened when he saw such a bloody picture. Liu Futong looked at her slender body and asked, "Do you know what happened just now?"
The White Lotus Boy was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt on the ground, and shouted in his mouth: "I didn't see anything, Lord Liu spared my life, I don't know anything, and I won't say anything!"
Liu Futong leaned over and pinched her slender chin and held it up, her pretty face was full of pear blossoms, which made people feel very pity.
"Of course I won't kill you!" Liu Futong smiled slightly: "Not only will I not kill you, but I will also let you continue to be a White Lotus boy and serve me all day long, are you willing!"
As soon as the White Lotus Boy heard that Liu Futong would not kill her, she was willing to ask Liu Futong whatever he wanted. Liu Futong picked up her white jade flawless body, turned around and walked out of the room!
......
The next day, the news that Han Shantong and Mao Zisheng, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, had both been killed because of their struggle for military power, spread all over the world! Liu Futong was supported by the generals of the Red Turban Army and became the new leader of the Red Turban Army. Liu Futong was reluctant to be the emperor, and frankly said that after capturing Yingzhou, he would take back Han Lin'er, the son of Han Shantong, who was far away in Wu'an, and let him inherit Han Shantong's will, and call the emperor to order the righteous army of the world to fight against the Yuan court!
......
Xiao Yanyu was lying in a damp and dark cave.
Her body was covered with hay, and next to her was a bonfire lit by Yang Wenyuan for fear that she would catch a cold. She lay there, her face was as pale as paper, her lips had lost their delicate red, she looked pitiful, and the cold beauty became even more pitiful!
Yang Wenyuan walked in from outside the cave, carrying a fat hare in his hand. Xiao Yanyu heard the footsteps, opened her eyes, saw the hazy voice, and shouted, "Wen Yuan?"
Her voice was weak, as thin as a gossamer, Yang Wenyuan dropped the hare and ran over to help her up, letting her lean against the cave wall: "How do you feel?"
Although hitting Xiao Yanyu will not cause death, it will also make her hurt for more than ten days, and it may even hurt her muscles and bones and fall to the root of the disease. But in order not to worry Yang Wenyuan, she shook her head: "I'm the concubine of Xiaoxiang from the rivers and lakes!
In order to make her words more real, she also had to gather her strength to show Yang Wenyuan. But as soon as her right hand moved, she pulled the wound on her shoulder, and then implicated her internal organs, and a sharp pain came. Xiao Yanyu snorted, her body was crooked, and a trace of blood oozed from the corner of her mouth!
Yang Wenyuan hugged her, gently put her to the ground, and used his hands to inject true qi for her to heal. With a sad and helpless expression on his face: "You and Qingshan are worthy of being a family, are your Xiao family hard-mouthed!"
Although Xiao Yanyu's body hurt and couldn't move, she rolled her eyes at Yang Wenyuan, with an arrogant look: "You dead wood, you dare to talk nonsense when you see that I am injured, I, Xiao Yanyu, am a small-bellied chicken intestine who loves to hold grudges, and when I get better, I won't beat you!"
"Okay, good!" Yang Wenyuan smiled very gently: "Concubine Xiao, you are injured now, let me bully me for the time being!
Xiao Yanyu saw the hare on the ground and asked, "You called this hare?"
"It's not me who called, but it was sent by the tiger!" Yang Wenyuan smiled, and Xiao Yanyu rolled his eyes again: "You're quite powerful, it's already late autumn, and the rabbit should also hibernate!"
Yang Wenyuan said: "When I was a child, I often followed my father up the mountain to hunt rabbits, and rabbits in late autumn are the best. They all hibernate and hide in their nests and don't come out. But it is said that there are three holes of cunning rabbits, and the three nests are in different places. So I found one nest and put a stone on it, and then I found another nest and lit a fire and poured smoke into it. Rabbits are so smoked that they naturally want to run out. But the other nest has been blocked, so only the last nest can escape. I'll just wait outside the last nest!"
Xiao Yanyu has been pampered since she was a child, and she stretched out her hand to open her mouth, listening to Yang Wenyuan's way of catching rabbits, she felt very interesting, and couldn't help but add a little bit of good impression to the young man in front of her.
"You wait for me, I'll go and peel the hare, and I'll roast you a fragrant rabbit meat to eat later!" Yang Wenyuan grabbed the hare, walked outside the hole, and began to peel it with a broken sword. Xiao Yanyu saw that it was the sword she had broken by Lu Tong!
Yang Wenyuan peeled off the rabbit skin, found a spring to wash the rabbit meat and internal organs, shoeed open his stomach and stuffed some shriveled fruits into it, and wrapped a dried lotus leaf outside. And he wrapped himself in water and some mud, wrapped it around the rabbit, gathered some dry wood, and set it up on the fire and roasted it.
Because the roasting rabbit took a long time, Xiao Yanyu was injured, and after chatting with Yang Wenyuan for a few words, he fell asleep. Yang Wenyuan sat in front of the bonfire, looking at her pale face as paper, long eyelashes, maybe she had a sweet dream, her lips squirmed slightly, Yang Wenyuan's heart was about to melt!
People say that she is one of the five saints of the Jianghu People's Righteous Army, and she is a heroine among women who do not let her eyebrows, but in fact, she is still a simple and lovely little girl in her heart!
After a few hours, the sun was setting and the night was dark, Yang Wenyuan woke up Xiao Yanyu and said that the rabbit meat was cooked. He helped Xiao Yanyu to sit up and leaned against the cave wall. Remove the roasted and cracked soil from the fire, put it on the ground and gently knock it open, peel off the lotus leaves, and the tender rabbit meat is revealed.
Because it is wrapped in soil, the rabbit meat is not charred and black, it is still fresh and tender, mixed with the fragrance of lotus leaves and the sweetness of fruits. The aroma came to her nose, making Xiao Yanyu's index finger move, and she couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva: "It's so fragrant!"
Yang Wenyuan tore off a rabbit leg and handed it to Xiao Yanyu, the rabbit meat was tender and juicy, melted in the mouth, fat but not greasy, so Xiao Yanyu was full of praise: "Wenyuan, you are so powerful, this is the best thing I have ever eaten in my life!"
Yang Wenyuan said: "When I was a child, I would often roast things on the mountain with my friends in the village, and this is the first time I have roasted according to the method of calling flower chicken. If the ingredients are complete, it will definitely taste better than now!"
Xiao Yanyu ate with a mouth full of oil, and the food in her mouth didn't have time to swallow: "Wen Yuan, you are really amazing, I don't know whose girl can be so blessed in the future and be able to marry you!"
Yang Wenyuan smiled, didn't speak, took out the rabbit liver and handed it to Xiao Yanyu: "The rabbit liver is a great tonic, you are injured, you will get better if you eat it quickly." ”
Xiao Yanyu doesn't like to eat these animal offal the most, she only feels very dirty. Yang Wenyuan had no choice but to stuff it into her mouth, and his fingers inadvertently touched her cherry lips, and she took it back like an electric shock, and her face turned red!
Seeing him so stupid, Xiao Yanyu laughed, opened her mouth to bite the rabbit liver, chewed it a few times and swallowed it hard, her expression was hideous as if she had eaten poison!
Yang Wenyuan saw that although she didn't like it, she also ate it, her painful expression was very interesting, he smiled slightly, got up and picked up the broken sword and went to the river, washed off the blood stains on it, dried it with his clothes, looked at it for a while under the moonlight and returned to the cave.
Xiao Yanyu was curious when she saw that he had been holding the broken sword, so she asked: "Wen Yuan, do you like this sword? It has been broken, what are you still doing with it? I will give you another one when I return to Shandong! I still have a few good swords in my room, you can choose!"
Yang Wenyuan shook his head, but asked her: "I see that Concubine Xiao has always carried this sword on her body, it must be your most beloved thing, right?"
"Shocking. Xiao Yanyu said the name of the sword: "It's not my beloved thing, it's just that when I was a child, I used it when I practiced swords and martial arts on the Thousand Peerless Peaks, and I used it easily!"
"Shocking!" Yang Wenyuan looked at the broken sword, repeatedly reciting its name in his mouth, and sighed with emotion in his heart: This sword was used by Concubine Xiao when she saved me, although it is not a good thing in her eyes, but it is of great significance in her heart!
Xiao Yanyu took another big bite of rabbit meat and said, "Wen Yuan, don't call me Concubine Xiao anymore in the future, this seems too raw, since you call each other brothers with Tsing Yi, you can call me sister like him!"
"Call your sister!" Yang Wenyuan's heart chuckled, and he was at a loss for a while. Xiao Yanyu looked at him like this, and laughed again: "What? Are you really like what Qingshan said, you don't want to recognize me as a sister and want me to be your daughter-in-law?"
Yang Wenyuan was even more panicked, and hurriedly got up and walked outside the cave: "I'll go outside and pick up some dry firewood!"
Xiao Yanyu saw that he was shy, so she teased him in the back: "Wen Yuan, hurry up, call me sister and let me listen!"
Yang Wenyuan ignored her anymore and stood at the entrance of the cave, a bright moon hanging in the night sky, cold and lonely. His heart is as lonely and complicated as this bright moon!
Xiao Yanyu saw that he was a little unhappy, and probably guessed his thoughts in his heart, so he suddenly lowered his head and sighed deeply!
In the middle of the moon, two people, each with their own hearts, tacitly agreed!
......
The autumn wind blows, and the river surface is stirred up by thousands of waves. A flat boat rowed through the layers of blue waves and swam straight north.
On the boat stood a young man in black, with his hands behind his back, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a thin face, and fair skin without blood. The old man was dressed in a robe, and his withered hands rowed the oars, but he was very powerful!
After a long time, the young man in black remembered something, turned around and asked the captain: "Old man, how long will it take to get to Gansu?"
The captain looked at the endless meeting and replied, "Son, be safe, if it is fast, you will be able to shore in less than three days!"
"Is there three days left?" The young man in black looked anxious, took out a letter from his arms, pinched it tightly, and said to himself: "There are still five days before the eldest prince returns, and it will take two days to go to Qilian Mountain after the ship docks.
When the captain heard the words of the young man in black, he laughed: "Is the son in a hurry? The little old man can speed up a little faster, and he can dock half a day earlier!"
The young man in black's eyes lit up: "Since this is the case, then it will trouble the old man!"
The boat sped all the way, and before I knew it, it was already sunset. The setting sun turns the calm river red. The sunset on the horizon is like a fire, and the sea and the sky are connected, forming a line. The sunset, the sunset, the horizon, the river, a flat boat, two silent travelers!
When night fell, the captain docked the boat, ate a little to satisfy his appetite, and set sail again. Sailing at night, in addition to the biting river wind, you must also beware of river thieves or salt gang robbery!
In the middle of the night, the black-clothed young man was a little sleepy, so he asked the captain for a quilt, and lay down in the corner of the bow and fell asleep. The captain was also a little tired, so he stopped the oars and let the boat take its own ride by the current. The river wind was biting, and the old man picked up a wine gourd from the boat and took a sip to ward off the cold.
Suddenly, several fires lit up on the shore, and I vaguely saw a crowd of people, and shouted for the captain to stop the boat. The captain had been crossing the river for many years, and knew that it was a water thief who was dormant on the river, and lived by robbing boats all day long.
The old man was frightened and hurriedly woke up the young man in black: "Son, wake up, the water thief is coming!"
When the people on the shore saw that the boats did not stop, they cursed and cursed, got three small boats, and boarded them one after another to row towards the middle of the river.
The young man in black got up and looked at the rowing boat, and murderous anger appeared in his eyes: "Don't be afraid, old man, watch me let this group of people die in this river!"
As he spoke, he took off his shirt and jumped into the river, his body was like a swimming fish, and he sank into the river in an instant and couldn't see it!
The water thieves in the distance laughed when they saw someone jumping into the river on the boat, making a big splash. The first person was a middle-aged man with a beard, holding a steel knife: "What a coward, seeing us don't even want to die!"
The water thieves have also lived on the river for several years, knowing that the river is bottomless, and it is autumn, the river is extremely cold, no matter how good the water is, it is impossible to swim to the shore and escape!
The three boats slowly approached the old man. The boat on the left suddenly shook as if it had hit something. The water thieves didn't care, thinking that there were big fish swimming by. Unexpectedly, after a while, the boat actually seeped into the river, wetting the shoes and trouser legs of the water thieves!
The thieves on the boat exclaimed, "The boat is leaking!" A dark shadow floated up from the river, grabbed the rudder and pushed it, and a boat suddenly capsized on the river. A group of water thieves fell into the river like dumplings, and a boat sank!
"There are people in the river, there are people in the river!" the water thieves shouted. The man with the eight-character beard was shocked: Isn't it the person who jumped into the river just now! He actually came and went freely in this cold river, he was really strong in martial arts, and his water quality was also excellent!
The black shadow submerged into the river and swam towards another boat. The water thief on the boat had already spotted it, raised his sword and threw it towards the river. But when the sword entered the river, it disappeared. On the contrary, a boatload of thieves has lost their weapons!
The black shadow appeared under the ship, jumped up, and kicked on the hull. When the boat boarded, it capsized in the middle of the river, and a group of water thieves also fell into the river. The black shadow stepped on the rudder and borrowed strength, turned over, and disappeared into the river!
The man ordered the thieves in the water to look for the shadow. The group of water thieves is also very watery, looking for it within a radius of less than two miles.
Suddenly, a water thief is pulled into the water by a huge force. The man shouted for help, but to no avail. There was a splash on the surface of the river, and then a stream of blood came out, and the man's body floated up, staining the river red!
The water thieves were furious, and swung their swords and stabbed towards the river. However, nothing was found, but the water thieves were dragged into the water one after another, and then a stream of blood sparked. For a time, corpses were all over the river, and the blood stained the entire river into a sea of blood!
The man with the beard was frightened by this miraculous skill, called out the devil, and ordered the water thieves to row their boats and run towards the shore. The black-clothed young man emerged from the sea of blood, soaked all over, and his face was murderous! With a force under his feet, he jumped out of the river and fell onto the pirate ship!
Several water thieves rushed over with swords brandished, but they were cut by a soft sword that slipped out of his sleeve, fell into the river, and died of exhaustion!
The black-clothed young man slid out the soft sword in his sleeve, held it in his hand and shivered, and walked towards the man with a figure of eight beards step by step. The eight-character bearded man was frightened, and hurriedly exclaimed: "I am Marshal Zhang Shicheng's man, if you kill me, you will definitely be overwhelmed by the heavenly soldiers, and you will die without a place to be buried!"
The black-clothed young man frowned, his eyes showed a fierce light, and there was a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth: "You still dare to threaten me now, it seems that you don't know how to write dead words!"
The mustache roared angrily, jumped up, and swung a steel knife towards the black-clothed boy. The black-clothed boy dodged sideways, reached out and pinched his wrist, and pressed his hand. The man was in pain, and the steel knife came out of his hand and inserted it into the bottom of the boat!
The black-clothed young man's sword struck upwards and stabbed him in the shoulder. Blood came out of his shoulder, and he screamed in pain, and fell to the boat with a thud!
The eight-character bearded man shouted in fright: "The hero spares his life, the hero spares his life, the villain has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, offends Tianwei, and asks the hero to spare his life!"
"You said you are Zhang Shicheng's person!" The black-clothed young man sneered and said, "I also heard that he revolted in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the momentum was huge, but I never thought that his subordinates were uneven, and there was a scum like you!"
Seeing that although he was a teenager, he had such a terrifying murderous aura, and he was even more shocked in his heart, he got up and knelt on the ground, his head shook the sky, and blood oozed from his head!
The black-clothed young man raised his soft sword and slashed straight down, blood chaos in the sky, and a blood curtain spread into the river, making a splash!
The black-clothed young man stood on the bow of the boat, and the river breeze was slightly cold. The old captain rowed in front of him, looked at the corpses of the river and the bloody river, and sighed: "Childe is really a young hero! This group of water thieves has taken advantage of Zhang Shicheng's reputation to rob houses on the river for several years, making people panic! Childe killed this group of thieves, and he really did a great good thing for our group of captains!"
The young man in black jumped onto the boat, was silent for a while, and slowly spoke: "Let's go!"
A layer of mist floated on the surface of the river, and a flat boat gradually disappeared into the mist!
......
