Chapter 11 (2) Murder on the way home
The two of them hurried up in a few days, knowing that Yuyang, a famous town in the north, decided to enter the city to find a place to rest. In the past few days, it has actually been very hard, but Yifan is fine. Ji Yun is young, his skills are still shallow, and he is quite physically exhausted. Seeing her like this, he knew that Ji Yun would be unbearable if he was in such a hurry, so he decided to rest in Yuyang City for a day.
Yuyang is an important town in the north, and it has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times. After the domination of the world, this place has lost its former strategic position, but it is located on the main transportation route, and it still stands as an important town and famous city.
There is a larger sect in Yuyang City, called the Blood Knife Gate. Although the name of the Blood Knife Sect is more terrifying, it is a real and authentic famous family, and it has an extremely long history, standing in the martial arts for thousands of years. The treasure of the town faction in its door is a blood knife, which is rumored to have been handed down from ancient times, and is the weapon used by the sword immortals when they crisscrossed the rivers and lakes, and it is quite famous in the martial arts. However, the Divine Sword Sect was involved in a large martial arts dispute hundreds of years ago, and its strength was greatly damaged. But in terms of strength, it has gradually degenerated into a second-rate sect.
Before they could enter the city gates, they saw many people rushing out of the city. Looking at the panicked looks of these people, it was obvious that something extremely serious had happened in the city.
Yifan raised his hand to stop a man who was fleeing outside, and asked, "This big brother, why did you come out of the city so anxiously, is there something happened in the city?" ”
The man opened Yifan's outstretched hands and continued to run forward, while turning his head to Yifan in a panic and shouting: "The two groups of people inside are fighting, there are shouts of killing everywhere, and there are still a lot of corpses on the street, little brother, you better not enter the city." As he spoke, he continued to flee along the road into the distance outside the city.
Yifan doesn't want to be too nosy, thinking that there is a fire in this Yuyang City and most of it is related to the Blood Knife Gate, he has no intersection with the Blood Knife Gate, and he doesn't know the causes and consequences of this fire. He was about to say something to Ji Yun, but Ji Yun's eyes seemed to be shining, and he said to Yifan: "Let's go, go and see." As he spoke, he raised his whip and rushed towards the city, and the fatigue of the journey seemed to be swept away.
Seeing her like this, Yifan sighed and followed with his horse.
When he was about to reach the city gate, Yifan caught up with Ji Yun, and he stopped Ji Yun, who was about to ride in from the city gate, and said: "If you enter the city like this, I'm afraid you won't become the target of the two parties." ”
Ji Yun squinted at Yifan, snorted and said, "Cowardly." ”
The two have been getting along for many days and have gradually become acquainted, Yifan knows that Ji Yun has the best poisonous tongue on weekdays, so he doesn't pay attention to her, and directly takes her to tie the horse to the city wall not far away, and then jumps from the outside of the city wall with Ji Yun to the city wall.
Looking into the city from the city walls, one of the tallest buildings in the city was blazing with flames, and smoke was rising from many other places. Many people were running and fleeing in the streets, and some fell to the ground motionless, apparently dead or seriously injured.
Ji Yun seemed to be quite surprised by everything in front of him, and frowned at Yifan and said, "Why is this chaos here? Where did all the soldiers defending the city go?"
Yifan said: "This dynasty stipulates that people in the rivers and lakes fight each other, as long as they do not disturb the order and affect the people, the court shall not intervene, but the turmoil has reached such a level, but it is indeed time to take care of it." However, now that there has been no war for many years, there should not be too many soldiers stationed in Yuyang City, so they will take action to stop it, but it will probably take a lot of effort to control this large-scale fire in the rivers and lakes at once. But—" he carefully looked at the situation in the city, and added: "Now it seems that the end has been decided, and I think that the officers and soldiers will also be dispatched." ”
Before he finished speaking, he saw soldiers running out in the direction of the barracks in the city, running towards the various places where the fire broke out in the city.
Ji Yun jumped off the city wall at once and said, "Let's go and see it too." ”
Yifan sighed softly and said, "This kid." At this time, although the battle situation is relatively clear, but the city is full of some decisive people in the rivers and lakes, and now in the past, it is really a little dangerous, thinking of this, he drew his sword out of the sheath and hurriedly followed.
Yifan was afraid that the little princess of this dynasty would be injured by her side, so she guarded her tightly and never dared to go beyond a few steps. The two of them rushed to the place where the fire was strongest and strongest. And that location is where the Blood Knife Gate is located.
The closer you get to the Blood Knife Gate, the more people fall on the road as far as your eyes can see, and the bloody aura becomes stronger and stronger. The side of the city gate where Yifan and the two of them were located was close to the location where the Blood Knife Gate was located, and within three steps and two steps, they were not far from their destination.
Suddenly, there was a strong sound of footsteps in front of him, and when he looked up, it was a lot of people coming from the direction of the Blood Knife Gate. Yifan's eyes suddenly lit up, grabbed Ji Yun, and took her to hide behind a wall.
Ji Yun was about to ask, but Yifan covered his mouth all of a sudden, and at the same time made a silent gesture.
I saw more than a dozen people hurrying past the hiding place of Yifan and the two, and the first one seemed to be holding something wrapped in a sword box in his hand. He seemed to have noticed something, turned his head and glanced in the direction of Yifan and the others, Yifan suddenly blocked Ji Yun behind him, the horizontal sword in his hand, and endless sword qi burst out from his body.
The man in the lead seemed to be reluctant to make any extraneous branches, snorted coldly, and continued to walk forward with his men.
Yifan stared closely at the departing figure, knowing that after confirming that they were completely far away, his tense body gradually relaxed, and muttered in a low voice, "Fei Wen." It turned out that this leader was actually the Demon Sect Left Protector who had fought with Yifan several times, but he didn't expect that he would sneak attack Jiao Ruilong and the others in Lingfeng City yesterday, and he would appear here today and plan such a big battle to destroy the door.
Seeing that it was the Demon Sect that was involved in this dispute, Yifan also became vigilant all of a sudden, the Demon Sect has been very rampant recently, but he didn't expect that now he would directly attack a sect with a deep background. He quickly leaned towards the Blood Knife Gate with Ji Yun, eager to know what was going on inside the Gate.
At this time, the Blood Knife Gate, which was originally a relatively grand building complex, has turned into a ruin. Above the ruins, there lay countless corpses, most of them dressed identically, apparently disciples of the Blood Knife Sect who had been unfortunately slaughtered. The other part is dressed like ordinary people, and it seems that they are disguised Demon Sect disciples.
Yifan ignored the ordinary soldiers who had appeared on the periphery at this time, and suddenly jumped from the courtyard wall into the Blood Knife Gate. At this time, a man who seemed to be a general and several of his own soldiers were surrounding a man in a fancy costume who had fallen to the ground, and this man seemed to have multiple scars on his body, motionless, and obviously had fallen.
The general was quite shocked when he saw Yifan and the two, and the soldier next to him hurriedly drew his sword, protected the general's side, and shouted, "Who is here? ”
Ji Yun took out a token from his waist and said, "I'm waiting for people from the palace side by side, passing by Yuyang today, I encountered such a big mess, who will explain it to me?"
The token presented by Ji Yun is the highest level token of Ji Lingfeng's side by side with the palace, representing Ji Lingfeng's personal envoy. Although the soldiers below did not know it, how could the general not know it? He hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said, "I don't know if the envoy is here, and I ask the envoy for forgiveness." ”
Ji Yun snorted coldly and said, "It's nothing to take care of or not, but in the city under your jurisdiction, it is a bit dereliction of duty to have such a thing." ”
Ji Yun was born in the emperor's family, although she is a young girl, but she is the heir of the dragon, and the majesty of the long-lived people under her ears and eyes is also a little bit. Under such questioning, the general didn't even dare to raise his head.
The adjutant general beside him seemed to be much calmer than the chief officer, and replied: "My lord, according to the practice of our dynasty, officers and soldiers are not allowed to hinder disputes in the rivers and lakes, so when the fire was merged, the general ordered, I must not come to stop it, until the house was burned and the residents were in chaos, and we waited for the party to come. ”
Ji Yun said to the lieutenant general: "The Yuyang guard should have guarded one side and protected the people. Now there is chaos in the city, the people are like frightened birds, and there are more houses damaged, casualties, it is really a dereliction of duty, reduce it by half a level, allow it to wear the crime and make meritorious service, you temporarily take the command of the value, you are limited to this day to pacify the people, and deal with everything in the city. I'll stay in this city for a day, and see how you do. ”
Although Ji Yun just took a sign and pretended to be Ji Lingfeng's envoy, who didn't know the status of the king side by side in the court, in this northern border, no matter the size of the official rank, they had to be controlled by the word side by side with the palace, although the city guard general was not convinced, he had to bow his head and say yes.
The lieutenant general was even more blessed by misfortune, and he was happy in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it, and he hugged his fists and said: "The last general will definitely live up to the trust of adults." ”
As he was talking, there was movement nearby, and several soldiers approached with a seriously wounded man in their arms. The man had several sword wounds all over his body, his clothes were already covered with blood, and his face was even more bloodless.
The deputy general took a step forward to support the man and said, "Deputy Master Wang, fortunately you were not in trouble. "It turned out that this person was actually Wang Chuan, the deputy master of the Blood Knife Gate.
Wang Chuan's face was extremely gray at this time, and the burly man who was originally in his forties looked a little rickety at this time.
He didn't seem to care about the people around him at all, he just burst into tears, and muttered repeatedly: "I didn't expect the Blood Knife Gate to be defeated in our hands, and we have no shame to face the ancestors and predecessors in the door." ”
Yifan stepped forward and walked in front of Wang Chuan, hugged him with the deputy general, and said, "Senior Wang, the junior is Lin Yifan, a disciple of Phoenix Mountain. The Demon Sect is so mad, the people in the rivers and lakes must not tolerate them. ”
Yifan was also very excited when he saw that such a famous and decent family as the Blood Knife Sect was now slaughtered, and the aura on his body unconsciously exuded some. Wang Chuan looked at Yifan and sighed deeply: "If there were young talents like Shaoxia in my sect, I'm afraid it wouldn't have come to such a point today." ”、
Although the Demon Sect has been fighting with the decent people for many years, it is very strange that they have been constantly attacking the decent people in the past few days, and it is really worrying that this prestigious Blood Knife Gate has been uprooted today.
Thinking of this, Yifan was even more concerned about the motives of the Demon Sect's move. Now although Liancheng Sword Immortal has not appeared in the rivers and lakes for many years, everyone knows that his old man is still in the world, and such a crazy move seems to not care, which really makes people even more worried.
Yifan looked at Wang Chuan and asked, "Senior Wang, I don't know if you know the purpose behind the Demon Sect's move this time. ”
Wang Chuan's sect has suffered a great change, and he is already disheartened and unwilling to say more, but at this time, the hearts of the people who saw the Phoenix Sect were a little more excited, Phoenix Mountain has become the head of the righteous path since Liancheng Sword Immortal was born, and it has been suppressing the Demon Sect for many years, and if you want to come to your sect to avenge this blood sea of deep hatred, you must also use the power of Phoenix Mountain to achieve it, at this time, when you see Yifan asking, you naturally know everything, and you can't say anything, and you replied in a low voice:" Although our faction has been fighting with the Demon Sect for many years, it has not actually formed such a big grudge with it, and the sudden attack of the Demon Sect today is also beyond our expectations, otherwise we would not have thought that we would be so powerless to fight back today. However, I don't know what the Demon Cult is doing today, but when the enemy attacked, it seemed that killing people was secondary, and several masters broke into the Treasure Pavilion for the first time, as if they wanted to search for something, and then turned out to slash and slash, this time the attack was extremely ruthless, as if they wanted to kill everyone near the Treasure Pavilion. In my opinion, it is quite murderous. Thinking about the attack of the Demon Sect, it must be inseparable from a treasure in the Treasure Pavilion. ”
Yifan suddenly thought of the sword box in Fei Wen's hand, and hurriedly asked, "Senior, is there a sword in the Hui faction that is packed with a red sword box?"
Wang Chuan's face darkened, and his body trembled involuntarily.
