Volume 1, Concubine Xiaoxiang Chapter 3, Jiang Ting's resentment
Yang Wenyuan set off from Puzhou, Shanxi, and marched all the way to the southeast, but he saw that the road was full of mourning, the people were displaced, and there were starving bones everywhere, and the world was like Senluo Hell!
Yang Wenyuan felt sad in his heart, one was sad and sad for these innocent people, and the other was that he felt that he was also a seven-foot man, but he couldn't do anything for the people and felt guilty of blame. If the court had not had these tyrannical and political servitudes, there would have been no rebellion, and the people would not have suffered this natural and man-made disaster!
After about two days of stop-and-go, he has come to Henan. After entering the territory of Henan, he found that the guards at the city gate were extremely strict, and everyone who entered or left the city would be carefully searched by the officers and soldiers, and if they brought weapons, they would be confiscated. Because Zhao Chouguo Guo Bodhisattva rebelled in Henan, so the imperial court attached so much importance to Henan!
There were several wanted notices posted on the city gate, and Yang Wenyuan looked at it, and it turned out that Guo Bodhisattva was wanted. The Guo Bodhisattva on the portrait is fierce and vicious, full of fangs, like a Yama evil ghost. Yang Wenyuan secretly felt funny: In order to scandalize the rebels, the imperial court said that they were the reincarnation of evil ghosts, but how could such a portrait find the real Guo Bodhisattva!
Seeing that several people who entered the city were collected weapons and arrested for interrogation, Yang Wenyuan was also very anxious. Before going out, his father handed him the bright silver spear handed down by his ancestors. This gun was made by a famous blacksmith and can be split into two sections for easy storage.
Yang Wenyuan put the gun in the baggage, and it was absolutely impossible to see it outside. But if the officers and soldiers forcibly search, they will definitely be exposed, and even the things given to him by Guo Bodhisattva will be discovered, in that case, Guo Bodhisattva's traces will be exposed, and it may also harm Zhao Yanfa, the righteous son of Zhao Chou!
Yang Wenyuan was hesitating outside the city gate, when he suddenly heard two old men drinking tea and chatting under the willow tree outside the gate. An old man said: "Since the Zhao Chouwei was suppressed in the Henan uprising, the imperial court has paid special attention to this place, and this has sent a new guard named Zhang Zishi." For the sake of his military exploits and political achievements, as long as he caught someone with a weapon, he would catch it and report it to the court that it was the remnants of Zhao Chou's Maitreya Army, and then beheaded him on the street, in less than a month, more than 30 innocent people have become the souls of his swords!"
Another old man sighed: "Yes! Originally, Henan City was also a blessed land on earth, and one by one, they came strictly and wantonly slaughtered people in the rivers and lakes, making our Henan a hell on earth all of a sudden!
"I heard that this Zhang Zishi is not only ruthless, but also a lascivious and obscene person, after he came, he asked his officers and soldiers to search for people's girls everywhere and bring them into his house for his sexual pleasure, and those who did not obey were raped and then killed by him. I heard that Wei Xiaolian, the little daughter of Wei's shopkeeper, was only twenty-eight years old, and she was also arrested by him in the house, because she swore to die, she was picked off by Zhang Zishi and broke her tendons and gouged out her eyes. It's a pity that Wei Xiaolian suffered such a catastrophe at his age. The shopkeeper Wei came to the door to ask for an explanation, but was hacked to death by Zhang Zishi's officers and soldiers. Poor shopkeeper Wei did good deeds and accumulated virtues, but he ended up like this, God really doesn't have long eyes!"
Yang Wenyuan was furious when he listened to it, and he didn't feel that he walked in front of the two old men and asked, "Two old men, this Zhang Zishi is such a despicable act, is there no one who can take care of it?"
The old man on the left looked at him and sneered: "Who will take care of it? The imperial court has been oppressing us Han people, will they take care of it? It is too late for them to be happy? Do we let the ordinary people who have no power to take care of it? We can't avoid this plague god, who would dare to provoke it!"
The old man next to him looked Yang Wenyuan up and down and asked: "Young man, I think you want to enter the city! If you really want to enter the city, I advise you to enter after late at night.
"Thank you for the guidance of the two old grandfathers!" Yang Wenyuan bowed to the two: "Juniors say goodbye!"
Yang Wenyuan walked for a while, and the old man on the left suddenly lowered his voice and said: "In the past few days, it can be seen that the people in the city have a deep hatred for this Zhang Zishi, today night, we will go to every household to distribute yellow paper, and write Zhang Zishi's various crimes, which will lead to the anger and resentment of the people in the city, you hurry up and pass the book to Concubine Xiao, let her come with troops during the third watch, let's come together inside and outside, and take Henan City in one fell swoop!"
Yang Wenyuan walked for several miles before he found a dilapidated mountain temple. He tied his horse to the temple gate and found some hay to feed, while he entered the ruined temple and rested after eating some dry food.
Until the sun sets, the whole world is dyed blood-red by the remnant sun. Yang Wenyuan woke up slightly, looked at the statue of the mountain god bathed in the sun, and sighed lightly: "When the era is prosperous, people come to worship you, you can be in troubled times, but you, who are immortals, don't know what is the use of saving this poor world, what is the use of you as an immortal!"
As he spoke, he remembered in his heart the various evil deeds of Zhang Zishi that the two old men said, and the more he thought about it, the more ruthless he became, and suddenly hit the statue with a palm, and with a bang, the statue shattered into several pieces, raising dust all over the sky. The god who is worshiped by people is also a clay body after all, and he can't stand his huge palm power!
When we came back to the city gate, it was already a little dark. Yang Wenyuan looked at it, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate were indeed a lot lax. A few men with weapons were allowed to go after giving them some silver taels.
Yang Wenyuan took out the silver taels he had prepared in advance and walked over. The two officers and men stepped forward to interrogate him about what he was doing, and what was in his baggage? Yang Wenyuan replied that he had come to visit his relatives, and that he was carrying some clothes. The officers and soldiers were clamoring to search, and Yang Wenyuan hurriedly handed over the silver taels, saying that it was inconvenient, and he asked the military master to make it convenient!
The officers and soldiers hurriedly put away the silver taels, and said with a pretentious gesture: "Recently, there have been many anti-thieves in the city, so you should pay more attention when you go in and out alone!"
Yang Wenyuan leaned over and smiled: "Thank you for your concern, Xiaomin will definitely pay attention!"
Yang Wenyuan never thought that he would bow and salute these court eagle dogs, but for the sake of righteousness, what did it matter if he endured humiliation and burdens once! Han Xin, the third master of the early Han Dynasty, was also humiliated by the crotch of a bully when he was young, and finally regained his dignity with his great achievements!
Compared with Han Xin, there is a difference of thousands of miles, what is unacceptable!
After entering the city, Yang Wenyuan found an inn to live in, and specially asked the runner to find some good forage for his white horse, but he only ate the dry food he brought.
After arranging the accommodation, the running hall also specially instructed that the curfew in the city would begin after nightfall, and if someone came out to walk around late at night, they would be arrested by the patrolling officers and soldiers as anti-thieves.
The night was getting darker, and Yang Wenyuan lay on the bed and didn't fall asleep for a long time. After a while he got up and went to the window, and looked at the street, and sure enough, there were officers and soldiers patrolling, one wave of about five or six people, and six waves in half an hour, each heavily armed and armed with a sword.
Yang Wenyuan watched for a long time, and took advantage of the gap between patrols to jump down, and several ups and downs disappeared into the vast night.
When he heard the two old men outside the city gate talking about the crimes of the guard Zhang Zishi during the day, Yang Wenyuan was ruthless in his heart. In troubled times, the imperial court did not know how to investigate its own shortcomings, but wantonly indulged its subordinate officers to do evil, and it seemed that the imperial court had been corrupted to the extreme. At that moment, he had an idea, he would sneak into Zhang Zishi's mansion tonight and kill this thief!
Before leaving, his father Yang Pu had repeatedly told him that in troubled times, he must not cause trouble outside, and he would come back as soon as he sent the things. Although Yang Wenyuan is not the kind of person who causes trouble, he is chivalrous, and seeing that the people are living under Zhang Zishi's coercion, he must not sit idly by!
He turned into an alley, took advantage of the night, and went straight through several alleys to the gate of Zhang Zishi's house. Zhang Zishi's mansion is built with majestic style, two stone lions at the door are majestic and domineering, two red lanterns are hung high, and the plaque is gilded with three big characters "General's Mansion"!
Outside the door, there are twelve heavily armed soldiers, armed with spears and swords, or axes and meteors, guarding the door of the mansion in an airtight manner!
Yang Wenyuan hurriedly hid in the alley on the side, and then hid his whereabouts in the night, while observing the movements of the guards, only waiting for them to change their guards before waiting for the opportunity to sneak into the general's mansion. But after waiting for more than half an hour, I didn't see them change their guards.
After waiting for a while, Yang Wenyuan really had no choice but to find another way. He walked around to the back door of the General's Mansion, hoping that there would be no more guards at the back door. There were several large willow trees planted outside the back door, with lush branches and leaves, and Yang Wenyuan climbed to the tree several times and hid his body in the shade.
Sure enough, for people like Zhang Zishi, there will naturally be people guarding the back door. Although there are only four of them, they are also fully armed, holding swords, and they all look powerful.
Can't you enter this general's mansion?" Yang Wenyuan sighed. He wanted to rush over and knock down the four before going in. But this must be done quickly, and it must be killed with one blow, otherwise there will be a sound of fighting, and sooner or later your whereabouts will be exposed!
But seeing that these four guards had sharp eyes and blue tendons on their foreheads, they were all people with strong martial arts. With Yang Wenyuan's current martial arts, although he can knock down four people, it will take a while, and when the time comes, the sound of fighting will definitely attract other guards, and even if he inserts his wings, he will not be able to escape!
I was thinking about it, but I heard the wind in my ears burst out and swished towards the four guards. Almost at the same time, the four of them fell to the ground, in unison, as if they had been arranged in advance!
Yang Wenyuan was shocked, turned his head to look, but saw a black shadow rising from the shade of the tree behind him, and a few ups and downs plunged into the general's mansion, his body was agile and fast, like a ghost, which made Yang Wenyuan's heart chill!
Guo Bodhisattva said at that time that he was not alert enough, so he taught him the mental method of "concealing the six senses", but just now he was only thinking about how to infiltrate the general's mansion, and he did not operate the mental method, so he did not find it.
Yang Wenyuan breathed a long sigh of relief, fortunately that person harmless my heart, otherwise even if I had nine lives, it would not be enough for him to kill! Seeing that person's martial arts are above me, sneaking into the general's mansion late at night, wouldn't he also come to kill Zhang Zishi! If this is the case, there are still bloody men in this world!
He jumped down and looked at the corpses of the four guards, but this was not a serious sight, and he broke out in a cold sweat! The fatal wounds of the four were all in the throat, and the murder weapon that killed them was actually four willow leaves! It was the ordinary willow leaf on the tree just now!
At that time, Yang Wenyuan's position on the tree was about two zhang away from the four guards, and the mysterious man was behind him, and he was able to kill four guards with high martial arts two zhang away with willow leaves with his bare hands. And the strength, accuracy, and even the time are so consistent, if that person doesn't have more than fifty years of cultivation, he can only be a ghost!
Yang Wenyuan didn't dare to think about it anymore, jumped onto the wall, and climbed into the general's mansion!
In the middle of the moon, the sky was silent, and the entire city was silent in the vast night.
Outside the city gate, the two soldiers defending the city had already closed the city gate, set up a small table, and were drinking wine and food. A soldier with a flushed face grabbed a handful of peanuts and put them in his mouth, chewing and saying, "Our General Zhang is really powerful! This place in Henan has become turbulent because of the uprising of the Maitreya army, and the people want to form a righteous army to fight against the imperial court." But as soon as General Zhang came, he acted vigorously and resolutely, killing the rebels and standing upright, and calmed down this turmoil in a few days, what a hero!"
"You don't know General Zhang's ability!" another soldier took a sip of wine and said, "I heard that General Zhang was born in a military family and has strong martial arts, and he was an important force in suppressing the Maitreya Army back then. Back then, he was still a small partial general under Prime Minister Boyan, and it was because he shot Zhao Chouguo in the army of Wan in the war to suppress the Maitreya army, that he was reused by the emperor and sent to be the guard general of Henan!"
"I can actually shoot that powerful ghost Zhao Chou in the army, it seems that General Zhang is really not an ordinary person!" The soldier before drank the wine in the cup: "If you and I brothers can make meritorious contributions on the battlefield like General Zhang, it will not be in vain!"
"The two military masters are so Yaxing!" a voice came from behind the two of them with a grin.
The two of them were startled, and turned around at the same time, only to see a gray-haired old man walking towards this side with a smile on his face, holding a gourd in his hand.
"What are you doing!" the red-faced soldier shouted: "Don't you know the curfew!
"The military master is angry! the military master is angry!" The old man came to the two of them with a smile, put the gourd on the table, and smiled: "My old man is old, and he often can't sleep at night, and he knows that the two military masters often chat and drink here after curfew, so the old man I will bring my daughter Hong, who has been stored in my family for more than 30 years, to taste it for the military master!"
"I'll see!" the soldier opened the gourd and leaned forward to smell it. I felt a breath of fragrance coming to my nose and entering my heart.
"Good wine, good wine!" The soldier shouted twice: "You old fellow is not sincere! I don't know how to honor General Zhang if I have such good wine at home, I should fight!"
The old man smiled: "General Zhang is from Dadu, how can he look down on us country spirits, and I don't know if the two military masters like it or not!"
The other also took it and smelled it, and his saliva almost fell out: "Not bad, not bad!" hurriedly poured a glass, drank it all in one gulp, and the aftertaste was endless. You have a cup for the two of you, and I drank a cup. In a short time, the wine in the gourd was gone!
The soldier drunkenly said, "Old man, this little wine is too little, do you have any more at home, bring another pot!"
A smile appeared at the corner of the old man's mouth: "Master Jun, it's true that the family is gone, but I know that there is a place where the wine is even better, and my old man has never had the opportunity to go there for so many years!"
"Where?"
"Nai He Bridge!" The old man's voice suddenly became extremely fierce, and his body was like a cheetah rushing towards the two, and two daggers slipped out of his sleeves and slashed towards the throats of the two! Blood splashed in the night sky, and the throats of the two soldiers had been cut off by sharp blades, and they couldn't scream or shout, looking at each other, their eyes full of horror!
Who would have thought that such an old man would have such a fast speed and such great strength!
The old man looked at the corpse and scolded viciously: "Damn Tartar's lackey, you Grandpa Zheng lost a pot of good wine in vain, and you can't get these two cheap lives!"
As he spoke, he slowly took off the human skin and mask on his face, and the white-haired old man instantly turned into a tall and straight young man!
Yang Wenyuan sneaked into the side hall of the General's Mansion, and after passing through several doors lightly, he finally entered the bedroom where Zhang Zishi was.
The night was dark, and the faint snoring was particularly harsh in the silence of the room. Yang Wenyuan took advantage of the moonlight to look at the bed, and saw a sturdy man, shirtless, lying on the bed. He also held a naked woman in his arms, her skin could be broken by blowing, and it looked crystal clear under the moonlight, like a piece of beautiful jade!
That shirtless man should be Zhang Zishi, the guard of this Henan City! Thinking of what the old man said about his evil deeds during the day, Yang Wenyuan couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and wanted to rush up and kill him and restore peace in the world! However, he suddenly felt something unusual! Hurriedly used the "Hidden Six Senses" mental method to perceive all the breath in this room!
Sure enough, he felt that in this room, in addition to him, Zhang Zishi, and the woman, there was a fourth person! Could it be that this was the mysterious master who had just assassinated four guards with willow leaves outside the gate of the mansion? He really came to assassinate Zhang Zishi!
In the blink of an eye, a dark shadow suddenly rushed in front of him and went straight to Zhang Zishi on the bed. A cold light flashed in his hand, shooting straight into Yang Wenyuan's heart!
A miserable scream resounded in the silent room! The scream was a woman's, sharp and crisp! Yang Wenyuan only felt that something was wrong, so he went with the sound! I saw that the black shadow holding a long knife stabbed a person, and that person was not Zhang Zishi, but the naked woman just now!
"Who are you? How dare you come to assassinate General Ben!" Zhang Zishi roared angrily, and before the black shadow could draw his sword and retreat, he slapped his palm and hit the man's left shoulder. The man snorted and took a few steps back!
Yang Wenyuan already knew everything that had just happened. When that mysterious master raided Zhang Zishi, Zhang Zishi had already realized that at the moment when he stabbed the knife, Zhang Zishi grabbed the woman on the bed and blocked it for him! Such a beast who cares about human life is not worthy of living in the world!
Yang Wenyuan jumped up and ran towards Zhang Zishi. The spear in his hand shot out, and he went straight to Zhang Zishi's door.
"There's another one!" Zhang Zishi laughed, grabbed the woman's corpse, and blocked it in front of him! Yang Wenyuan was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly threw the head of the gun, stabbed it off, and nailed it into the wood at the head of the bed! His entire body was also exposed in front of Zhang Zishi!
"Die!" Zhang Zishi roared angrily and raised his palm to slap Yang Wenyuan. Yang Wenyuan couldn't dodge for a while, and the strong palm wind whirred, making him breathless.
Suddenly, there was a flash of cold light in front of him, blood splattered out, sprinkled on the ground, and a severed hand flew up in front of him, spun, and landed!
Outside the city gate, the tall and tall young man took out a long knife from his bosom, split the log on the door, and pushed the city gate open.
Outside the door, a large group of people appeared, about two or three hundred people. Holding torches, holding spears, bows and arrows, and a big flag with the word "Qin" written on it! In front of the procession, there was a woman riding a white horse and dressed in purple, with a veil on her face.
When the young man saw the woman, he smiled slightly, and shouted loudly: "Welcome the concubine Xiaoxiang under General Qin's seat into the city!"
Yang Wenyuan saw that the person who came to the rescue was the mysterious master! Zhang Zishi broke his arm, screamed, and fell on the bed and rolled left and right! The screams attracted a large group of people, all of whom rushed into the room with spears and knives, and surrounded the two of them in the middle!
Under the light of a few torches, Yang Wenyuan finally saw the man's face clearly!
It was a very handsome young man, who looked about the same age as Yang Wenyuan, wearing a green coat, a cyan knife in his hand, his eyes were deep and long, as if he contained the entire starry sky in it!
The young man looked at Yang Wenyuan and smiled: "I didn't expect that there are still people who want to assassinate this beast like me, since it has come to this point, why don't we kill it together!
Yang Wenyuan smiled slightly: "Under Yang Wenyuan, I am willing to fight with Brother Xiao!"
Xiao Qingshan nodded in acquiescence, waved his long knife and rushed into the crowd. His figure was very strange, and he walked among the crowd of swords, as flat as a road, and the sword did not hurt him in the slightest, but he raised and fell with his sword, and people fell one after another!
Yang Wenyuan secretly admired himself, pulled out his spear and killed him. The gun sank into the crowd like a swimming dragon, and with a swing left and right, it stabbed several people.
The two of them shot quickly, knocking everyone to the ground in less than a stick of incense. Yang Wenyuan praised Xiao Qingshan: "Your martial arts are so powerful!"
Xiao Qingshan smiled slightly: "Yours is not bad!" As he spoke, he turned around and walked towards Zhang Zishi. His face turned extremely pale because he had lost too much blood because of his broken hand. He looked at Xiao and Yang viciously, and his eyes widened angrily: "You two are here to kill me!
He roared angrily and slammed all his strength into the head of the bed, trying to crash to death there. Who knew that Xiao Qingshan's hands were fast, and a kick flew out between the lightning and flint, kicked him back on the bed, and sneered: "I'm sorry! I can't fulfill this wish!"
As he spoke, he raised his long knife and slashed over!
Bloody Sky......
That is, Zhang Zishi was killed, and the two were also relieved. Xiao Qingshan tore off the sheets, wrapped Zhang Zishi's head in it, and then asked Yang Wenyuan: "Why do you want to kill him?"
Yang Wenyuan replied: "I heard the people here say that Zhang Zishi bullied men and women, killed innocents indiscriminately, and the people dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, this kind of person is a beast, and everyone will be punished!"
Before he finished speaking, he heard shouts outside the door, and the flames soared into the sky. Both of them were shocked in their hearts! Could it be that Zhang Zishi's own soldiers are here!
The two hurriedly ran out of the room, only to see that the huge general's mansion garden was already full of corpses, and the blood was flowing like a river, hundreds of people in green clothes were either disposing of corpses, or collecting and surrendering soldiers, and a woman in purple clothes and with a thin veil covering her face was commanding everyone, in good order!
Hearing the sound, the woman followed the sound and happened to see Xiao Qingshan and Yang Wenyuan. A pair of beautiful eyes stared at the two of them and asked, "Who are you?
But listening to her voice is melodious, crisp and moving, like a nightingale. Xiao Qingshan smiled slightly, untied the burden, and Zhang Zishi's skull rolled to the ground.
The people in the courtyard were shocked, although this Zhang Zishi was not one of the best masters in the rivers and lakes, he was also a person who had experienced life and death on the battlefield, and he actually died so easily in the hands of this young man in Tsing Yi! Everyone was guessing what kind of identity this young man in Tsing Yi was!
The woman in purple looked at Xiao Qingshan and asked, "You really killed this one?"
Xiao Qingshan shook his head and said, "How can I be so powerful, Zhang Zishi was killed by me and this Yang brother next to me!"
"Why did the two young heroes kill Zhang Zishi?" the woman in purple continued to ask.
Before Xiao Qingshan could speak, Yang Wenyuan had already replied first: "Zhang Zishi bullies men and women, fish and meat people, such brute scum, everyone will be punished!"
He spoke loudly, righteous and awe-inspiring, and his high-pitched voice resounded in everyone's ears, and he didn't go for a long time!
The woman in purple looked at Yang Wenyuan and nodded: "The chivalrous hearts of the two heroes can be learned from heaven and earth, and I, Xiao Yanyu, really admire and admire!"
Hearing the woman's name, Xiao Qingshan's face changed slightly, and then he laughed and shouted: "Apostate Xiao Yanyu, don't hurry up and go back with my son to ask for guilt, and when!"
Yang Wenyuan was taken aback! What is going on! Does Xiao Gongzi know this woman in purple? The more than 300 people in Tsing Yi were also shocked, what kind of person is this young man, he dares to call Concubine Xiao's name!
The woman in purple looked at Xiao Qingshan for a long time, suddenly sneered, walked in front of Xiao Qingshan in a few steps, and flicked it in his head: "You rebellious guy, how can you talk to your sister!"
Sister! Everyone was surprised, Concubine Xiao was actually the sister of this young man in Tsing Yi! Yang Wenyuan looked at the two of them, and was shocked and didn't know what to say!
Xiao Qingshan looked at Yang Wenyuan and said with a smile: "Her father and my father are brothers, I call her Uncle Daddy, so she is my cousin!" After dispelling Yang Wenyuan's doubts, he turned to look at Xiao Yanyu again, like a child: "Sister, I haven't seen you for five years, I can't even recognize you!"
"It's that I don't recognize you, right!" Xiao Yanyu giggled: "When I left, you were still a runny nose and a crying little kid, I didn't expect that I hadn't seen you for five years, you have grown so big!
Xiao Yanyu grabbed Xiao Qingshan's hands, and her eyes revealed a strong sense of love: "Are you out to enjoy the mountains and rivers, didn't they come with Baichuan?"
Xiao Qing's shirt froze for a moment, and suddenly lowered his head: "I escaped by myself, a lot has happened in the past few years, I'll tell you slowly when I have time!"
Xiao Yanyu sighed lightly: "I already know the news of my uncle's death, but you don't keep filial piety for him in the sect, but ran out alone, are you forced by Tianyu!"
Xiao Qingshan shook his head: "I'm going to leave by myself, and it has nothing to do with the eldest brother! Also, sister! Why do you have to wear a mask? Can't the face of the first beauty in the rivers and lakes be seen casually!"
As he spoke, Xiao Qingshan's hands were quick and he took off the veil on Xiao Yanyu's face. But seeing that the bridge of her nose is tall, her skin is jade, her skin is jade, her skin is like a peach blossom, her cherry lips are slightly open, and her face is thin but not dry, like a fairy under a month, no, she is more beautiful than a fairy!
Yang Wenyuan glanced at it, and he was so stupid that the whole person stayed in place!
