Chapter 16: Xu Xianke

The terrain of "Broken Soul Ridge" is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack!

The bandit cottage is located on top of a mountain cliff with cliffs on three sides, and only the south side has a road.

After the bandits who used to be entrenched here spent a lot of effort to build, this road up the mountain is even more precipitous.

Li Xiaobai and Wen Wan followed Lu Ranger up the mountain.

Talking on the way, it turned out that Lu Ranger's group had only come here two years ago.

And none of them are real bandits.

Lu Ranger's hometown is the Yuanzhou Mansion under the mountain, and his ancestors have military exploits and his family background is also good.

It's just that when he was young, like every teenager in the Tang Empire, he was brave and chivalrous!

The family has also invited a lot of famous teachers to teach, Lu Ranger is bold, and he has also made a lot of friends!

Finally, when he was eighteen years old, he changed his name to Lu Ranger, ran away from home, and began to wander the rivers and lakes, doing chivalrous deeds!

It's just that the rivers and lakes are getting more and more difficult, and the more you go, the more timid you are, you understand that the real rivers and lakes are different from the rivers and lakes you have heard of!

After more than ten years of wandering, the tired wanderer finally returned to his hometown, but his parents were no longer there!

Lu Ranger imprisoned himself at home for half a year, thinking back on his rivers and lakes for more than ten years.

There has always been a knot in my heart, the "five-hundred-year curse"!

After thinking about it, I knew that I couldn't change anything, so I made a decision to leave home again!

He wants to escape the world, but in fact he wants to avoid disaster! He hopes to avoid the "500-year curse"!

It just so happened that a good friend he made when he was in the rivers and lakes came to visit and told him that the bandits who used to be entrenched in Broken Soul Ridge were exterminated a few years ago, and no one has occupied it there!

Lu Ranger led dozens of people who were willing to follow him, came here to live in seclusion, self-sufficient, and occasionally went to the mountain roads below to rob the rich and help the poor!

......

"Brother Xiaobai, it just so happens that my good friend is on the mountain, let's get drunk later!"

"Brother Lu, it's really uneasy to disturb you like this!"

"Eh! Brother Xiaobai said this and saw the outside, don't hide it from my brother, in the past two years, my brother and I have gone down the mountain to rob more than ten times, all of them returned empty-handed, the last time I met a family fleeing the famine, the result was also a waste of ten taels of silver! This time I can make friends with Brother Xiaobai, brother, I am happy!"

"Big brother, are you a bandit or a chivalrous?"

"Hahaha! It's good to be happy!

......

When I arrived at the cottage on the cliff, the terrain was flat and open, about two or three hundred acres in size.

In the past two years, more than 100 people have gathered in the cottage, including men and women, old and young.

And a large area of land has been carved out, crops are grown, and a lot of livestock is fed, which is simply a paradise!

"Brother Xu, come on, come here!"

Far away, Lu Ranger began to shout!

Some of the people who were working also waved hello when they saw it.

Li Xiaobai and Wen Wan followed behind Lu Ranger and were stunned!

Is this really a den of bandits?

After a while, a person came out of a house inside, tall and imposing.

"Brother Lu, brother is here!"

Lu Ranger took Li Xiaobai's hand and stepped forward.

"Brother Xu, come on, let's introduce you to the brother you just met!"

According to Lu Ranger's introduction, it turned out that this person was named Xu Xianke, and he was the second prince of the Black Water Country.

I have traveled to the Central Plains for many years, and I have traveled almost every landscape in Datang!

"Carefree!"

Wen Wan, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"It is under the Xia, Mengtian Khan's love, and he was given the title of Marquis of Freedom last year!"

Li Xiaobai immediately put him on the spot.

In the past, when the master was alive, he told him anecdotes about the rivers and lakes every day, and celebrities were secret.

Later, when the master died, he listened to books in Tianxianglou every day, and the same was true.

In the past few days, I found out that these are very important, and Li Xiaobai even wondered if the master had premeditated to let him integrate into the rivers and lakes, and deliberately let him remember this!

Xu Xianke was also a little surprised, looking at Wen Wan,

"Gongzi Wen is from the Guanlong Wen family?"

"It was in Longshan that I grew up!"

"I see, disrespectful!"

A few people talked and laughed and entered the hall!

......

Lu Ranger plus Li Xiaobai, Wen Wan, as well as Xu Xianke and his maid Phantom, a table of five, drink happily!

Xu Xianke looked haggard when he looked at Wen Wan,

"Young Master Wen, but you're not feeling well?"

"Thank you for your concern, it's just a small injury, just recuperate!"

"It's so good, I wonder if Gongzi Wen can know Wen Hengyang?"

"My second uncle, I only met a few times when I was young!"

"Yes! It's a pity that Wen Daxia was murdered by traitors ten years ago, and he never met him in the future! I wonder if Wen Gongzi can know the Daoyi League back then?"

Wen Wan heard Xu Xianke ask Yimeng, thought about it for a while, and understood what the other party meant!

"The second prince wants to say, Cui Zhicheng, the national teacher of the Heishui Country?"

"It's the family teacher!"

"It turned out to be Cui's senior apprentice!"

Lu Ranger drank heavily, looking sad and angry!

"Back then, I also longed for several seniors of the Daoyi League, but unfortunately since the God of War disappeared fifteen years ago, and Wen Daxia and Lu Daxia were killed together ten years ago, they all retired separately, which is a pity to think about!

Li Xiaobai listened to a few people talking about the Moral Alliance, and secretly complained about the master of the magic stick in his heart!

Almost all the things on the rivers and lakes have been said, but they don't mention a word about the Daoyi Alliance, which leads to me being confused now, and I'm embarrassed to ask!

Fortunately, she didn't change the topic, Wen Wan probably knew that Li Xiaobai didn't know much, so she spoke first,

"Back then, my second uncle Wen Hengyang, Wu An, Wang Qianhate, Cui Zhicheng, Li Du, Lu Linfeng, Yue Xiaoqing, Sima Wuxian, eight people formed a righteous alliance, and now only Sima Wuxian is still in the rivers and lakes!"

Li Xiaobai finally knew that the second master of the ball was named Wu An, could that Yue Xiaoqing be his god stick master?

"Yes, in his early years, the family teacher went to Heishui Country as an envoy of the Tang Empire, because he understood his father's heart for the Tang Dynasty, and later stayed in Heishui Country, became a national teacher, and spread Tang culture!"

"Senior Cui is indeed a great achievement!"

"It was under the master's teachings that I decided to travel to the Tang Dynasty in person and experience the Central Plains culture!"

"That's why I, Lu Ranger, have the opportunity to get to know Brother Xu!haha!"

"Speaking of which, the beautiful scenery of the Tang Mountains and rivers is almost all over the country, and there is only one regret! Longshan has never been there, because I plan to go to Longshan for the last stop before returning to China!"

"Welcome to the second prince, it's just that when I leave Longshan, I won't be a child of the Wen family, not the master!"

"I don't know what strange things the second prince has traveled over the years?"

Li Xiaobai finally seized the opportunity to interject.

"If you want to say that there are two strange people, one lives in seclusion in Changbai Mountain in my Heishui Country, everyone generally calls him Yuan Tianshi! Yuwen Feiyang, the first warrior of the Zhenbian Army, is his disciple!"

Li Xiaobai glanced at Wen Wan, is it really Yuwen Feiyang's master?

Wen Wan nodded slightly.

Xu Xianke continued,

"It is said that Yuan Tianshi's seclusion is connected to the heavens and the earth, and when the God of War disappeared, the last place he went to was Changbai Mountain!

"Is that really the case?"

When Li Xiaobai heard this, he was very shocked, it seems that this master of Yuwen Feiyang is really not simple!

Wen Wan and Lu Ranger also heard about it for the first time, and they were silent!

It seems that there are a lot of hidden secrets about the God of War Sword!
