When the two of them went underground, most of the torches in Hu Buxi's hands had already been lit, and the dim light struggled hard in the dark underground. Xu Chang poked his head into the golden bell probe placed in the center of the cellar, with a suspicious expression.

Finally hearing the belated footsteps, Hu Buxi raised his head to the entrance of the cellar, and looked at Zhao Wu'an and An Qing who were holding each other's fingers, with a meaningful expression on his face.

"I'll just say why hasn't the boss come down for so long, it turns out that he did something up there, right??"

"Nothing was done. Zhao Wu'an responded to Hu Buxi's fuss with that undulating tone as usual.

After taking care of An Qing and stepping on the ground, Zhao Wu'an let go of her hand with confidence, turned around and looked around the cellar.

Indeed, as Hu Buxi said, the cellar is not large, and a golden bell has already occupied a lot of space. In addition, there are some ice cubes stored in the winter for the summer.

"You see, what Ning Dantong put in the water leak at that time should be such an ice cube. Zhao Wu'an pointed lightly.

"Well, I guessed it. An Qing was a little grumpy, "It's okay if you're not there!"

Zhao Wuan smiled and said, "Okay." ”

Since there were no other clues left and right, Zhao Wu'an's gaze moved to the golden bell in the center. In the light of the yellow torches, the giant bell shone faintly blue-gold, and there were obscure lines on it.

"There seem to be words on it, but it's not Sanskrit. Hu: I don't have a few drops of ink in my stomach, so I definitely can't read it, but you may have a chance, boss. ”

Hu Buxi spread his hands indifferently, and a few sparks fell from the torch, and the flames dimmed a little.

Xu Chang sighed: "This is really difficult. I didn't think much about the text below, and I could only vaguely see that this was not a Miaojiang script, it seemed to be a Mobei area, Tubo or leaf-making ......"

"Leaf-making. Zhao Wu'an was not shocked.

Xu Chang was stunned for a moment, and secretly surprised: "Your Excellency knows ...... word for leaf making?"

"I studied for a few years. ”

Zhao Wu'an still held An Qing quietly, slowly pacing around the golden bell, his eyes always fixed on the handwriting on the bell.

The golden bell is not big, but it is already as tall as a person, and the whole thing is upside down on the ground, and it is difficult for ordinary people to drag it.

The bell is densely covered with large and small leaf-making characters, some of which are quite obscure and difficult to understand, and even Zhao Wu'an can't understand them. But most of them can still guess the meaning. Among them, the four words at the top and the largest are "Yongyu Siyu".

"You see. Zhao Wuan sighed at An Qing.

"I don't understand. An Qing honestly admitted.

Zhao Wu'an pressed his forehead a little helplessly: "They are all people who have solved the case by themselves, how can they still be stupid when they should be smart." ”

Then he covered An Qing's mouth before she grabbed her sleeve and went crazy.

Zhao Wu'an leaned into An Qing's ear and whispered: "Don't make trouble, the man standing next to you now is the destined Lord of the Central Plains." ”

An Qing's heart fluttered, and she didn't feel the deer bumping into her chest.

Zhao Wu'an's words were shocking, but he was suddenly held in his arms under the attention of outsiders, which made An Qing's heart beat even more, and her pretty face turned red for a while, and she couldn't say anything.

And seeing that his words that he had been thinking about for a long time did not bring An Qing the expected reaction, Zhao Wu'an was slightly stunned, and still sighed helplessly.

"What do you think? He shook his head and said, "This is the bell of the mouth." Therefore, this village is also used by leaves. ”

Before he could continue, Xu Chang, who was standing behind, suddenly exclaimed: "What, it's the Leaf Creation Country that is using us!"

Zhao Wu'an turned his head with a complicated face and looked at Hu Buxi. Hu Buxi was also slightly stunned, and immediately understood what he meant, and you put the mottled knife in his sleeve on his shoulder, and said: "It doesn't matter what he makes leaves or the Great Song Dynasty, if he doesn't treat people as people, it's not all a raccoon dog!"

Zhao Wu'an nodded and said, "Since the predecessor of Duxiu Village was a place where war criminals were imprisoned, there must be people who want to use it for their own use. The bell placed at the bottom of Duxiu Village is a token given to the Tang family by the Ye-making Kingdom back then. ”

"Token?" Xu Chang lowered his head and pondered for a moment, as if he had an understanding.

Zhao Wu'an quietly dragged An Qing behind him, and said lightly: "Do you want me to continue?"

Xu Chang's eyes flowed, and after a while, as if he had made up his mind, he leaned down deeply: "Please also ask Mr. for advice!"

Zhao Wu'an sighed, "Ordinary people don't give gifts when they interact with each other, and they won't give a bell to others." Good or bad, this implication is too vicious. ”

An Qing echoed solemnly: "Yes......"

However, before she finished speaking, she was choked by Zhao Wu'an's wrist all of a sudden, so fierce that she was almost merciless, so frightened that she choked back all the words she wanted to say at once.

"But the meaning of making leaves is to send the end of the Great Song Dynasty. Zhao Wu'an was still unfazed, but every word was loud.

"Dongfang Lianmo set off a ten-mile tornado, but the power of one person is difficult to subvert the entire Shuzhong Tang Gate after all, and there must be the support of the Great Song Dynasty after that. The Tang Sect suffered and fell, and his heart was also unwilling. At this time, the leaves handed out long branches, which were in the arms of the Tang Sect. ”

Although the Great Song Dynasty used the hand of Dongfang Lianmo to suppress a large number of martial arts forces with excessive momentum, it also supported Dongfang Lianmo, the leader of the martial arts alliance. Until now, Dongfang Lianmo has become a major rival that even the Great Song Dynasty has to face. Outside of him, ordinary martial arts sects don't seem to be worth mentioning. ”

"It was precisely because of this that Zaoye dared to send a bell to the Tang Sect, asking them to cover this Duxiu Village under their surveillance as a discipline master. The Tang Sect and the leaves joined forces, once the Great Song Dynasty was subverted, they would be able to avenge the revenge of the Eastern Lian Mo back then, and there would be no reason to refuse. It is in this situation that the two sons of the Tang family have become the masters of the people's mouths, guarding the rules of this Duxiu Village. No one is allowed to enter, and no one is allowed to go out. ”

Xu Chang was stunned and half-opened his mouth, puzzled: "Why? The Tang Sect has long lost its power, if you want to support it, you don't have to use a small village as a stage at all......

"It is precisely because the Tang Sect has already lost its position, if it is supported on the surface, it will inevitably be noticed by others, so that one move will be suppressed. Leafmaking doesn't want to do that. The purpose of their alliance with the Tang Sect was to defeat Dongfang Lianmo and overthrow the Great Song Dynasty, leaving a help. Zhao Wu'an said lightly, "As for why you want to control this Duxiu Village in the name of Ji Shi...... The secret lies in the war criminals who were originally held in Duxiu Village. ”

"What's the secret of those war criminals?"

"Decades ago, the Great Song Dynasty launched a spy invasion of hundreds of thousands of people, and stole a lot of information from the leaves, so that in that battle of Song and Ye, although the leaves took the lead, they were repeatedly defeated, and finally forced to retreat to the Mobei area. But it is precisely because of that spy war that the Great Song Dynasty has 3 million households in Xiliang, ten rooms and nine emptiness, and the entire Hetao area, which can be said to have lost its foundation. And there are many homeless people and spies who have defected from it, and they are imprisoned in this Duxiu Village. After the death of the emperor of the previous dynasty, this system also became ineffective, and most of the discipline teachers returned to their hometowns, but many villages that were used to imprison war criminals still followed the ancient precepts and did not dare to violate the law. ”

Zhao Wu'an said lightly: "What you want to make leaves is the information on them. The Song people could use them to deal with the leaves, and the leaves would dare to use them, and in turn they would deal with the Great Song Dynasty. The three million households in Xiliang were the most tragic victims in this battle of Song Ye. ”

Xu Chang stood in place stunned, not knowing what to do, his lips moved, but he couldn't even make a sound, and there were silent tears in his eyes.

Seeing Xu Chang's appearance, Hu Buxi turned his head and sighed: "Actually, you don't have to be so sad. The war between the two dynasties caused more than these three million people. ”

Xu Chang came back to his senses, as if he realized that he had shed a few tears, and hurriedly reached out to cover his cheeks, bowed slightly, but his back trembled clearly, and the wrinkled green clothes fluttered a little dust.

"I thought, I thought ......"

After a long time, a muffled voice rang out from the cellar. An Qing poked her head out worriedly, but she was still vigorously pressed by Zhao Wu'an, and she couldn't break free at all. She was upset in her heart, and she couldn't help but put her head on Zhao Wu'an's back.

"I thought that I could find the mastermind behind the scenes, and I could use my skills that I have worked hard for ten years to return a clear level in Duxiu Village, so that everyone can live carefree......"

Xu Chang pressed his cheek, but his voice couldn't stop trembling, like a bowl of water, hanging on a steel wire. The wind and water are terrifying.

But I didn't expect this to happen...... If so, if this is the fate of my village, then why should I persist for so long...... And why do you have innocent blood on your hands......"

"You can go on with your life. Zhao Wu'an said, "Your villagers can also live without worries." ”

"But the leaves will definitely come to the door in the end, right?" Xu Chang was still full of sadness, "Moreover, the mistakes I made are also ......."

"It is true that you have hurt people for the righteousness of your heart. ”

Zhao Wu'an didn't mean to avoid it at all, but looked into Xu Chang's eyes squarely, word by word.

"But you have a right heart, and that's true. I don't know what you've done for Dongfang Lianmo in the past, but at least from now on, you don't have to. You can work hard for the future of Duxiu Village. ”

“...... They don't want to be drawn into war again, absolutely not. Xu Chang shook his head firmly.

Zhao Wu'an nodded and spread his hands: "Isn't this right?"

"That's right! Since you have this confidence, then it's better to protect your villagers! Southern Xinjiang is separated from Zuoye for 108,000 miles, and they can't hit you. Hu Buxi slapped Xu Chang's back a few times with a big grin.

But Xu Chang's old injuries had not healed, and after Hu Buxi tossed like this, he coughed and almost vomited blood. Seeing this, Hu Buxi hurriedly withdrew his hand, held Hu Dao and said, "In short, you don't have to worry about anything else." From now on, there won't be so much going on in this Duxiu Village. Let's live well. Boss, then we're leaving?"

"Gone. Zhao Wu'an nodded.

Then he took An Qing, who was still puzzled, and walked out of the cellar with Hu Buxiju and walked out of the village.

Hu Buxi walked at the forefront with a torch, and Zhao Wuan led An Qing and followed side by side. The night was dark and the sky was starry.

A few steps after walking out, a voice full of gratitude came from behind: "Zhao Daxia, Hu Daxia!"

Zhao Wu'an and Hu Buxi glanced at each other, and both of them smiled helplessly.

"Who is he calling, are you?" asked Zhao Wu'an.

"I'm not a hero. Boss can't be, right?"

"It's not. Zhao Wuan shook his head.

"That's not calling us. Hu Buxi smiled, "It has nothing to do with us, let's go ours!"

After that, no matter how Xu Chang called behind them, the two of them strode forward, leaving the entire Duxiu Village behind.

An Qing was dragged by Zhao Wu'an, although she was a little reluctant, but she still kept up with them.

Half a mile away from Duxiu Village, seeing that there was no possibility of anyone following behind, An Qing shook off Zhao Wu'an's hand in one go, and asked angrily, "What's the matter? Why are you not allowed to say a word in the cellar?"

Zhao Wu'an didn't speak, but Hu Buxi stroked the knife and sighed for a long time: "Miss An, the truth of this disaster comes from the mouth......

"I don't want to listen to you. How could An Qing not know that these two people were wearing a pair of pants, and pointed straight at Zhao Wu'an: "You say, what are you hiding from me!"

The night wind was bleak, the fields were silent on all sides, and on a Bodhi tree with a crooked neck, there was a night crow chirping.

Under the moonlight, Zhao Wu'an's side face was almost cold, but with a touch of warmth that An Qing was extremely familiar with.

"There are some things that are really not known as well. ”

For a long time, Zhao Wuan said in a low voice.

"I have been away from that royal court for fourteen years, and it seems that the time has finally come when I have to go back. ”
