Chapter 74: Fierce Flame
Seeing Fu Danqing and his wife leave, Cheng Jian and Cheng Lu returned to the living room and sat down.
Cheng Lu hesitated and said, "Uncle, we agreed like this, it's not easy to explain to the people below." ”
Cheng Jian raised his glass and took a sip of tea, thought for a while, looked at his own nephew, and said seriously: "Xiaolu, in fact, agreeing to them is your best choice." I know that those families have made great efforts to send troops to the north for you, but have you thought about it, once those families control the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance, they will inevitably fight to the death with the local sect until the other party is completely eliminated, in this process, let alone let them continue to support you, even if they don't cause you trouble, they will definitely not be able to do it. ”
Chenglu pondered for a moment, frowned and said, "But ......"
Before he could finish speaking, Cheng Jian interrupted him, "Are you worried that those people will turn against you and support your eldest brother?"
Chenglu nodded.
Cheng Jian sighed and asked, "Xiaolu, do you really want to compete with your eldest brother for the throne so much?"
Cheng Lu's body trembled suddenly, he seemed to realize something, looked at the uncle with wide eyes, opened his mouth to speak, but couldn't make a sound.
Cheng Jian got up, patted Cheng Lu's shoulder, and said: "You and your eldest brother are both outstanding descendants of my family, your father can't bear to see you killing each other, so he came up with this method, let the two of you lead the troops to fight, whoever has more land will be appointed as the prince, but from the moment you step out of the Divine Witch Country, you have already lost, and the two kingdoms of Dongfang Huji and Cishou have already become the vassal states of your eldest brother." ”
Cheng Lu looked like someone had had his bones stripped of his body, his face was pale, his lips trembled, and he laughed miserably: "So, I'm the doomed loser? Why?"
Cheng Jian said coldly: "Because my strength is not as good as the Great Elder, because your eldest brother is his own grandson, it's as simple as that." ”
Cheng Jian turned around and walked out of the door, with a hint of pain on his face, "Not long after, I will leave for China, the foundation you have laid, and the army that accompanied you, are completely yours, and your eldest brother will never invade and annex, but again, you must not step into the gods and witches again." ”
......
The winter sky is clear and clear, like a plain silk scarf.
A group of wild geese from the north lined up in a human line, flying lower and lower, and finally scattered on the river beach outside Huaiyang City, strolling between the shallow tidal flats, burying their heads in search of small fish and shrimp in the aquatic weeds, and replenishing the consumption of flying for several days.
Xian Caiyun held Fu Danqing's arm with one hand, pointed to the distance with the other, and smiled like a little girl, "Danqing, look, what a beautiful crane!"
Fu Danqing smiled kindly, glanced in that direction, and then returned to Xian Caiyun's face, and suddenly stopped, pinning the lock of her hair that had been blown by the breeze back behind her ears.
Xian Caiyun raised her head slightly, looked at Fu Danqing softly, pursed her red lips, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Danqing, you're leaving, right?"
Fu Danqing's smile gradually faded, and he was silent for a long time, rubbing the corner of her lips with his thumb, and then hugged her into his arms, "Yes, I'm going to a place." ”
The voice of the delicate cloud in his arms was a little muffled, "Are you coming back?"
Fu Danqing cast his eyes to the far side of the sky, where the sunset was spreading, and a round of red sun was about to sink into the vast river, "I won't come back." ”
Xian Caiyun broke free from his arms, "Why? Didn't you say that you want to dominate the martial arts with me, and we will never be separated?"
Fu Danqing turned his head and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Caiyun, I have to leave." ”
Xian Caiyun said word by word: "Why?"
Fu Danqing's eyes were deep, he raised his right hand, and the blood qi rose in his palm, "Because I saw another world, I want to become stronger, I want to chase the supreme martial arts." ”
"Supreme Martial Arts. Xian Caiyun smiled dejectedly, "Yes, the first time we met, that's what you said." ”
Fu Danqing said again: "I'm sorry. ”
Xian Caiyun gritted his teeth and said, "I want to go with you!"
Fu Danqing was surprised, and then silent, he knew that his wife was extremely strong by nature, and her biggest dream was to become the supreme martial arts and command the heroes, and now saying such words means that she is willing to give up everything for herself.
He shook his head.
Xian Caiyun said in a loud voice: "I don't want to be a martial arts supreme, I don't want to be the leader of the first gang, I just want you, I want you!"
Fu Danqing's hands hanging down in his sleeves slowly clenched into fists, and the blood vessels on the side of his neck jumped a few times, but he still didn't agree, "It's too dangerous there, you can't go." ”
With that, he walked towards the city gate, leaving a resolute back.
......
Chudong County, Huaiyang Province.
As the second largest gang in Huaiyang, Hanyuemen rightfully occupies the most prosperous neighborhood in the county, and its sect buildings are second only to the county government in terms of grandeur and luxury.
On that day, outside the Hanyue Palace, the door master's mansion, a white-clothed young man came to the palace and asked to see the deputy door master Ji Ruoshui.
The rules of the Cold Moon Gate are peculiar, accepting women but not men, so the door is full of women, and even the people on duty in front of the door are two young girls in their cardamom years.
When they saw the young man in front of them, they thought that the son of the family was coming again, and said in unison: "The deputy head of my family is entangled in official business, and I don't have time to see you, where did you come from, go back quickly, otherwise, don't blame us for being polite!"
The two girls said the same thing in a round and jade voice, and even the thumb of their right hand was against the sword, and the movements and demeanors of the sword were exactly the same, seeing this scene, Zhao Ziming couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
He turned around and patted the thunder, letting it wait for him at the door, and then slightly released a trace of the aura that belonged to the innate powerhouse.
The two girls only felt suffocated in their hearts, as if they were pressed by a boulder, they couldn't breathe, they took a few steps back, and looked at Zhao Ziming's eyes, full of horror.
The next thing is easy to do, Zhao Ziming successfully saw Ji Ruoshui, sat down as the guest of honor, and directly took out the crescent jade pendant given by Aunt Qiu, and explained his intention.
Ji Ruoshui took the jade pendant and looked at it, looked at Zhao Ziming up and down, and then said: "It turns out that you are the person that Sister Shuang fancies, it is really extraordinary, no wonder she entrusted Ling'er to you, but unfortunately, you are a step late." ”
Zhao Ziming frowned and said, "One step late, what do you mean?"
Ji Ruoshui returned the jade pendant and said, "Three days ago, a terrifying strong man came from the Southern Divine Witch Country, who claimed to be Ling'er's grandfather and forcibly took Ling'er away. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Ziming's eyebrows stretched out, and he didn't have to think about it to know that the terrifying powerhouse who took away Ling'er must be Brother Lie.
At the beginning, in the belly of the volcanic mountain, he had a verbal agreement with Lie Meng that whoever arrived in Chudong first would come to pick up Ling'er. Now it seems that Fierce has successfully broken through.
Zhao Ziming pondered for a moment and asked, "Deputy Master Ji, do you have any news of Aunt Qiu?"
A sad color appeared on Ji Ruoshui's face, and she choked up: "Sister Shuang, she went!"
......
Central Metropolitan Government.
The downfall of the Wuwei Dart Bureau pushed the notoriety of baby thieves to the peak. Throughout the province, all families with babies are in a state of panic.
Many people move with their families and travel day and night just to get away from the place as soon as possible and avoid the doom that may befall at any time.
And the big landlords in Huangyang County, who had lost their offspring, launched a frenzied revenge.
On the one hand, officials who were familiar with the DPRK and China frequently petitioned the emperor to intensify the search for the murderers.
On the other hand, he spent a high price to invite first-class masters in martial arts, formed the "Demon Slaying Alliance", and went all out to hunt down and kill baby thieves, and the ninth-level masters who were invited to join the alliance have reached thirty-five so far!
Xuanling Mountain, located in the southwest of the imperial city, is tall and majestic, with beautiful scenery.
More than 100 years ago, not long after the founding of the country, there was a sudden flood in the central capital, and then it caused a terrible plague, which spread rapidly, and the people were killed and injured countless times.
The imperial physicians were helpless against the plague and could only watch the country fall into chaos. Just when the Great Departure was in turmoil, a monk was born out of nowhere, and each used his own means to relieve the plague and save countless people.
Emperor Taizu thanked the monks Lingyin and Xuanyuan, and renamed Puxia Mountain in the southwest of the imperial city as Xuanling Mountain, and built a large number of buildings to build Lingyin Temple and Xuanyuan Temple on the mountain, and gave them respectively to allow them to preach and accept disciples.
Nowadays, although Lingyin and Xuanyuan have passed away, one temple and one view have been inherited, and they have been receiving the worship of thousands of people, and the incense is vigorous.
The continuation of the baby theft incident made many people with babies go up the mountain to seek refuge, and unconsciously, Lingyin Temple and Xuanyuan Temple brought together hundreds of babies!
The abbot of Lingyin Temple, Master Kuzen, and the master of Xuanyuan Guanguan, Yunsong Daochang, realized the seriousness of the situation, and in order to prevent the baby thieves from going crazy and going up the mountain to plunder, the two decided to act together after careful consideration, and placed the babies in the Lingyin Temple, which was secretly guarded by all the masters of both sides day and night.
Accidents still happened.
Late one night, the fire on Xuanling Mountain was great, and the temples and Taoist temples built next to each other were on fire in many places.
When a Buddhist disciple was busy fighting the fire, the baby thief took advantage of the chaos and robbed eight babies, wanting to leave, but was discovered by Ning Xingyun, the general of Zhenxi who stayed in the temple to recuperate, and stopped for a moment, and then was surrounded by many masters.
A big war broke out, and the baby stealer showed terrifying strength, injuring and killing more than 20 masters, most of whom were strong people with internal strength cultivation of the eighth or ninth layer!
Just as the baby stealers were about to break through, the elder Kongjian, who was the abbot of Lingyin Temple and had opened the entrance, appeared and joined the battle group.
But after a fierce battle, not only did everyone fail to capture the baby thief, but were severely injured by him again, and the encirclement was almost broken.
Fortunately, not long after, the thirty-five first-class masters of the "Demon Slaying Alliance" also arrived when they heard the news, and the baby thief was finally defeated and seriously injured, but he even made several surprisingly powerful moves, and at the same time escaped from the siege under the cover of the baby in his hand.
Everyone was willing to let go, and chased after the blood trail left by the baby thief.
