Chapter 100: Troubled Times
Baihe Town, located south of the eastern capital of Luoyang, is most famous for its ginkgo forest, which has been inherited for thousands of years.
The climate here is excellent, surrounded by water on three sides, the heat does not invade the cold wind, and it is a quiet and peaceful town that has no quarrel with the world.
But today is different.
The wind of early spring is as cold as scissors, and it burrows into the neckline like a poisonous snake.
Jiao Xie shuddered a few times.
As the right-hand man of the "Mantian King" Wang Subamo, this Uncle Jiao was full of nervousness at this time.
Wang Suba was the leader of one of the rebel militias who wanted to fight for the world against the Sui Emperor, and he was quite powerful.
Since Yang Guang is the emperor, because of the great achievements, many expeditions outside the territory, and the extreme desire for poverty and luxury, the construction of palaces and courtyards, four out of the patrol hard, indiscriminate taxation, so that the people are miserable, and even thieves everywhere, all over the country, have unveiled the rod, self-established as the king, the Sui family has no grand occasion when the country was restored.
Jiao Xie's mind at this time was all on a portrait of a character in his hand.
That's who he's targeting.
......
After Mo Xiaolou left Sichuan, he went straight to Luoyang, the eastern capital, but in a few days, he had arrived in Baihe Town.
Walking in from the entrance of the town, the strange thing is that the pedestrians around them all seem to be blind, and they don't seem to see this living person at all. The dream cutter on his back has completely lost the traces of the bamboo knife, and the three-inch-wide knife surface is faintly red, I don't know if it is rust or blood.
This is a method of using the spiritual ability of the Dao Heart Demon Cultivation Dafa: there is and there is nothing.
Standing in front of you, you just think he doesn't exist.
Although it was late, the town was still lively, and there was a loud shouting from the chaos stall in front of him, so that Mo Xiaolou couldn't help but stop and walk towards the shop.
"A bowl of chaos. ”
The boss found that there was a man standing in front of him at some point, rubbed his eyes, and made sure that he was not dazzled before enthusiastically introducing Mo Xiaolou into the seat.
When he turned back to go down to Chaos, the boss muttered, "What the hell......"
There were several tables of people sitting in the stalls, looking like they were just ordinary farmers here.
"Lao Li, have you heard?"
"What's the matter?"
"I heard that the boy who lived in the widow's house next door to you won the first place in this test. ”
Due to the influence of Mo Xiaolou, Yang Guang adopted the system that had been developed and matured in later generations after the reopening of the imperial examination. There are all kinds of processes such as children's test, township test, meeting test, and palace test.
The person who spoke before was a shirtless rough man, and he dared to be shirtless in such a cold day, but his body was very strong. He saw that the man in coarse linen clothes opposite heard his news, and he was not surprised, and he was a little unhappy.
After looking around a few times, and seeing that no one noticed this, he leaned over and lowered his voice, and said mysteriously: "Brother, if you know the true identity of that kid, I will jump in fright." ”
The man named Lao Li said: "Identity? What else can the sick seedling do you have behind the scenes?" ”
"Hey. The rough man snorted lightly, and his voice became even lower: "That kid is the Yuwen ...... who was expelled from the Yuwen family a few years ago."
"It's him!" Lao Li almost screamed in surprise, his voice hiding an irrepressible excitement: "The Yuwen valve was only on the first day back then, and then the meridians were shattered by a hammer from an unknown young man of Li Valve?"
The rough man took a sip of chaos soup and said proudly, "It's not who he is." I heard that after this kid was annulled, the marriage contract that was originally made with Li Valve was also nullified...... It is said that Li Xiuning personally went to Yuwen to retire from the marriage, hehe, this face was beaten. ”
Discussing gossip, especially the gossip that he could talk about a few words, Lao Li came to the ground and added: "Who doesn't know about this." It is precisely because of this incident that Yuwen Valve and Li Valve turned against each other, and that kid also changed from the former tiger of the Yuwen family to the shame of the Yuwen family. In the end, he was expelled from Yuwen Valve for strangling his stepmother at night. ”
"It's just...... This kid is really amazing. After being expelled from the family, he abandoned martial arts and learned from scratch. It only took three years, and he even won the first place in the children's test, the township test, and the meeting test, hey, I don't know if Yuwen will regret it?"
The two chatted vigorously, although they lowered their voices, how could they hide it from Mo Xiaolou's ears?
Is there a divorce stream...... I want to meet this man.
Mo Xiaolou thought of it with a bad taste.
At this time, the hot chaos was brought to the table. Mo Xiaolou Meimei took a sip of chaotic soup, and the warm hot soup poured from his throat to his stomach, which was very comfortable.
This is, the rough man swayed again, "Recently, we have a lot of outsiders, and one by one with swords and swords, could it be the people of Yuwen Valve?"
"He must have come to pick him up and take him back to the family. ”
"Hehe......"
The rough man sighed lightly, stood up, threw three copper coins on the table with a big grin, and said arrogantly: "Boss, make two catties of fresh chaos, pack and take away." ”
The boss was frightened: "Guest officer." Three copper coins, but you can't buy two catties of chaos. ”
The rough man said quietly: "Oh, I, Zhao Si, have heard for the first time that someone said that I gave less money......
The boss's face turned white, and he said in a trembling voice: "Big ...... Uncle, you are the one who killed the tiger Tai Sui Zhao Si?"
Zhao Si sighed and said, "It's contemptible." ”
The boss suddenly shook his body, his eyes turned black, and he almost fell to his knees with weakness.
Zhao Si said again: "Boss, acquaintance, hurry up and pack two catties of chaos for me." If I change my mind......"
The boss pleaded more than once: "Uncle, I am a small business, please raise your noble hand." Just then, just like the villain, ask your ......"
"Sigh-" Zhao Si spit on the boss's face with a mouthful of thick phlegm, and sneered: "Now it's three catties." ”
"What are you ——,...... It's ......"
After taking the chaos, Zhao Si snorted coldly and greeted Lao Li: "Lao Li, go, my lord is in a good mood today, go to your widow's house next door to have a good show." ”
After the two walked away, the boss sat down on the ground with a gloomy face, and sighed helplessly: "Hey, this month has been in vain." ”
Mo Xiaolou looked at the distant backs of the two and touched the knife in his hand.
Tonight, there's work to be done again.
......
Late at night.
The moon reflects the paper window, and the shadows of the trees are like ghosts.
Jiao Xie woke up from his meditation.
"Someone. ”
The door was slammed open, and five black-clad and masked men rushed in.
"Jiao Ye, do you really want to do it?"
One of them asked in a low voice.
Jiao Xie said: "Hold up the bold and starve the cowardly, go!"
Several people quickly left the courtyard and came to the alley of East Street.
In front of him was the house of the widow Wang, and the abandoned son of Yuwen was also inside.
The moon is dark and windless.
Zhao Si in the house was very proud in his heart.
With just one punch, he broke Yuwen Kid's leg, leaving him to watch as he did whatever he wanted to the widow who adopted him.
The perverted desire made his face red, and he tore the widow's coat with a stabbing stab, and not far away, the young man who sat on the ground looked at this scene with a hideous face, and the crazy hatred and anger in his eyes did not help at all.
Widow Wang exclaimed, shouted, and struggled to resist, which could only make Zhao Si feel a wonderful pleasure. He was not in a hurry to do it, and savored the wonderful feeling that I was a knife and a beauty was a fish.
The three of them didn't notice, the door of the house had been gently pushed open, and a few night walkers had entered.
"Master Jiao, this kid is romantic. A man in black lowered his voice.
"Hmph, dying man. ”
Another said: "Jiao Ye, then this widow ......"
"I'll leave it to you. Remember to deal with it in time after you are done. ”
"Thank you Jiao Ye!"
"It's just the night, let's do it. ”
When Zhao Si was crooked and wanted to enter the final action, there was a sudden sound of wind in his ears, and before he could react, a knife sank into the back of his neck, and he only had time to feel a cold neck before he lost consciousness.
The widow in front of her had closed her eyes in despair, but at this time she suddenly felt a chill on her face, and when she opened her eyes, she let out a scream of fear, and completely fainted.
"Hey, it went better than expected. ”
Jiao Xie pulled the knife out of the back of Zhao Si's neck and said with a smile.
The people around him also laughed and said: "Jiao Yete is more cautious, a person who has no power to restrain the chicken, and he also took me and waited together." ”
"Just make sure nothing goes wrong. After all, who used to be the person of Yuwen Valve, who knows if there is anyone to protect in secret...... Huh?!"
He changed color and said, "This is not the target person!"
"Master Jiao, look, there's another person. ”
"That's the goal!"
Jiao Xie shouted angrily and slashed at the man sitting on the ground.
"Well, someone is robbing someone's head?"
When Mo Xiaolou stepped into the room, Jiao Xie was stabbing the man's heart.
"It seems to be late. He glanced apologetically at the man on the ground, and then a fluttering voice reached the ears of Jiao Xie and his party:
"Tell me about your identity. ”
His voice was very soft, it seemed to be just a chat between friends, but the knife in his hand made the surrounding atmosphere very eerie.
Several of them were characters who were used to slashing and killing, and they were the most sensitive to danger, and when they saw Mo Xiaolou at this time, they felt their heartbeats increase sharply, as if they were facing a natural enemy.
Jiao Xie suppressed the panic in his heart, and said in a trembling voice: "Under the seat of the 'Mantian King', Jiao Xie will ask my friend Gao's surname!"
Mo Xiaolou's mouth twitched, "Is it an anti-thief again......"
looked at a few people and said, "I don't want to kill people today, so let's go." ”
Several people suddenly heard the amnesty and hurriedly retreated to the door.
It's just that...... If you don't die, you won't die. One of the men in black still remembered the widow of the king, and secretly carried her fainted body...... The color is all over the world, and nothing more than that.
"I'm sorry, let's have a good baby in the next life. ”
Swinging the knife, the knife qi popped, Qi Gen submerged into the bodies of several people, and in the next moment, these people fell down with a bang and turned into two, but it was so weird that even blood did not flow out!
In today's Mo Xiaolou, killing people is already clean and neat, as simple as eating and drinking. Naturally, he will not let the splattered blood stain himself when he kills.
Mo Xiaolou didn't look at them, and was about to go out, when he suddenly turned his head like a whirlwind and said in surprise: "Not dead yet?"
His gaze was fixed on the person who had been stabbed through the heart by Jiao Xie before. What made him even more suspicious was that this person looked a little similar to him!
The figure flashed, and he was already squatting in front of the man, and only after taking his pulse did he sigh: "It turns out that he is immortal with a breath of resentment." ”
The man was still staring at himself, refusing to die.
"For the sake of your appearance, if you have any wishes, I will help you fulfill them. ”
An astonishing light flashed in the man's eyes, and he said word by word: "Extinguish-Yu-Wen-Valve! Extinguish-Li-Valve!"
Mo Xiaolou said softly: "It's very coincidental, this is exactly what I want to do." ”
When the man heard this, he finally closed his eyes. As he fell to the ground, a blood-stained pamphlet fell from him, which was the person's identification.
Yuwen Tuo...... How dare you choose a name? ”
