Chapter 1069: The Old Paper
More than 1,000 mountain residents of the Great Snow Mountain arrived at the right time to arrive at Biyu City, and the entire city was working hard to remove the traces left by Jinpeng Castle, and currying favor with the Great Snow Mountain was one of the important means.
Faced with the crowds of residents of Biyu Castle pouring out, holding gifts in their hands, the guests of Daisetsuzan thought they had been attacked, and the men swung their heavy swords and the women drew their short swords and quickly entered the battle mode.
This is just a small episode, and it was later regarded as a symbol of the simplicity and innocence of the mountain people of the Great Snow Mountain, rather than a rude and vulgar behavior.
The last patriarch of the Falling God Peak of the Great Snow Mountain, Long Zhuying, has long since passed away, and there is no successor, and there are only more than 100 old people and women left in the entire tribe.
Two years ago, Gu Shenwei led his army south and disappeared for several months, and it was at that time that the Long Army lost contact with Daxue Mountain.
There were not many swordsmen who came back this time, only about 400, and the rest were women and children, who came to visit their husbands to make sure that the men who were wandering outside were still alive, and most of them were disappointed.
Gu Shenwei came back at the right time, personally met with this group of people, and selected dozens of teenagers under the age of eighteen to supplement the guards.
Early the next morning, Gu Shenwei was escorted by this group of guards and nearly 1,000 soldiers to climb the mountain to Jinpeng Fort, and it is said that the lotus girl hid inside.
Two days earlier, the Lotus Girl had killed four Dragon Army soldiers, three maidens, an old bustard, and a wealthy merchant in an alley in the southern city, leaving a message that more would be killed in the future.
Compared with the killing of King Dubu and the robbery of the people of the Central Plains, the impact of the killing of the Lotus Girl was not great, but Long Chuanyun immediately reported the news to the Dragon King.
Gu Shenwei had seen the corpse and was very sure that only the sword qi of the lotus girl could cause such a wound.
The north gate has been taken over by the dragon army, and on both sides of the winding mountain road, retired killers still live, cautiously closing the door and trying to create the illusion that there is no one in the house, they are waiting for the final fate in fear, just like the Jinpeng Fort on the mountain.
No one knew what the Dragon King wanted to do with the children of the Shangguan family and the many killers in Jinpeng Castle, Long Chuanyun only sent troops to guard the roads that must be passed, and still allowed free passage, and he very clearly limited the power of the city lord to the bottom of the mountain.
Not every Dragon Army soldier is as calm as Long Chuyun, especially the swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountain, whose grievances with Jinpeng Fort are entangled in the oldest memories, the Dragon King has taken revenge, and the swordsmen are eager to taste the fruits of victory.
Therefore, in addition to the young guards, there were also more than thirty respected old swordsmen who followed the dragon king up the mountain, and the Danduofeng patriarch Long Xiaoshi was their undoubted leader.
Jinpeng Fort has not yet elected a new owner, "Dubu King" has become an ominous title, no one in the Shangguan family wants to attract attention at this time, and one of Shangguan Va's grandsons led the crowd out of the fort to welcome the arrival of the enemy.
Shangguan Lielie, the most optimistic heir of King Dubu, called himself "Shangguan Lie" when he met the Dragon King, which can be regarded as an admission of his unique status.
The weather was a little gloomy, Gu Shenwei walked through the stone beams, and groups of dragon soldiers were like his huge wings, stretching out to both sides, closing at the gate of Jinpeng Fort, uninvited, and surrounded Shangguan Lie and others.
Gu Shenwei suddenly remembered that Marshal Yang was standing in this place to compete with the killer, which shocked the teenagers in the castle.
Shangguan Lie was only a teenager, but he had to take on the heavy responsibility of the whole clan, and behind him, there were several rows of survivors of the Shangguan family, a total of more than fifty people, all men, from sixty or seventy-year-old old people to four or five year-old children, "all here." He said, bowing to the dragon king, not kneeling, "at the disposal of the dragon king." ”
Gu Shenwei pointed to Long Xiaoshi beside him, "I'll leave it to you, this is the reward that Daxue Mountain deserves." ”
This is also Gu Shenwei's promise three years ago, and today it has finally been fulfilled, most of the swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountain who originally followed him out of the mountain have already been killed or wounded, and after paying such a heavy price, any of their requests should be met.
Long Xiaoshi was a little surprised, before going up the mountain, he thought that he would have an argument with the Dragon King, but it turned out that things were so simple, he wanted to say something, but he couldn't find the right words, so he knelt down on one leg, and the swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountain in the team knelt down one after another, and the other soldiers got aside with interest.
Long Xiaoshi stood up.
The soldiers who had entered Jinpeng Fort earlier escorted more people from inside, all of them were Jinpeng Castle killers, and they had obviously received orders from their masters, so they did not bring weapons and obediently stood in the designated area.
Most of the Jinpeng killers had joined the Tianshan Sect before, and when the news of the death of King Dubu came, most of them fled when they heard the news, and there were only about a hundred or so people who held the stone castle.
Long Xiaoshi drew his heavy sword, strode towards the crowd that had given up resistance, and said loudly, "It's time......
A soldier hurried out of the fort and whispered a few words to the dragon king.
Gu Shenwei mounted his horse, bypassed the captives of the Shangguan family, and entered Jinpeng Castle.
The dragon soldiers were searching house to house, gathering everyone in the fort in one place, and as Gu Shenwei rode by, the terrified slaves fell to their knees and shouted "The dragon king spares his life".
Gu Shenwei soon came to the Baiyi Courtyard, the courtyard was full of dragon soldiers, and when he saw the dragon king, he immediately made way for a passage and went straight to a side room.
Gu Shenwei remembered this place, he used to work as a handyman in this room, and under Zhang Ji's guidance, he read a large number of books hidden in it, and benefited a lot from it.
Zhang Ji sat in a pile of books, and didn't look up when he heard the footsteps, and continued to look at the yellowed pages of paper in his hand, and only raised his head for a while, looking at the Dragon King in confusion, "These are all documents collected in the inner house, I have wanted to read them for a long time, but unfortunately I have never had the opportunity." ”
Until King Dubu was killed.
"What did you find?" asked Gu Shenwei.
"There's not much value. Zhang Ji threw away the paper in his hand and patted the dust on his body, "It's all some inconsequential old things: it turns out that the ancestors of the Shangguan family came from the Great Snow Mountain, and they were defeated in years of melee and were forced to leave their hometown and come to Biyu City. Jinpeng Fort was originally called the Fort of the Dead, and the owner's title was the 'King of the Dead', and he accepted the Shangguan clan and taught the killer skills. ”
Zhang Ji stood up and shook his head very puzzled, "The Shangguan family originally kidnapped the children from the Great Snow Mountain just to recover, and then trained them all to be killers, and then killed their own clansmen when they grew up, and the cycle has continued for many years, and the two sides have even forgotten the original reason. This is truly an ambitious revenge, Dragon King, and you are too merciful to compare. ”
"The Great Snow Mountain swordsman is executing the people of the Shangguan family at the gate. Gu Shenwei said, wanting to prove that he was not merciful, he was already discouraged as soon as his words came out, and the direct killing was indeed not as good as the revenge of the Dubu King of the past dynasties against the Great Snow Mountain.
He once saw the former martial arts of the Great Snow Mountain in a stone room, and the Jinpeng killer must have assassinated the master among the enemies first, causing him to lose his strong resistance, and he could only be slaughtered by the Shangguan family from generation to generation.
Zhang Ji didn't say a word, he obviously didn't see any interesting content from the pile of old papers, laughed a few times, and said to the Dragon King: "The wonderful thing about the whole revenge method is that many of the Jinpeng killers executed by the swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountain are their descendants, especially the so-called 'green noodles', who are basically descendants of the Great Snow Mountain, and they are the most loyal to their masters, and they would rather die by the master's side than flee." ”
Zhang Ji sighed, "I am assisting such a family, but I guess Dubu Wang doesn't know about these things at all, and when the documents are moved out, they are full of dust." ”
The military advisor of Jinpeng Fort was obviously the same as Fang Wen, scoffing at personal grievances, and always with a hint of sarcasm in his tone when he told these things.
The execution at the gate is estimated to have begun, Gu Shenwei doesn't want to stop it, the swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountain are a group of simple people, why destroy the victory they have won so hard?" He said he wanted to hear Mr. Zhang's views on this.
Zhang Ji nodded solemnly, as if the demise of Jinpeng Fort had nothing to do with him, he was just a calm observer, "Defeated, but not in your hands, but in the Great Snow Mountain." ”
Zhang Ji bypassed the two piles of books and came to the Dragon King, his walking posture was a little shaky, and his eyes were bloodshot, "Jinpeng Castle has cultivated too much hatred in the Great Snow Mountain, and this hatred has pushed them to follow the Dragon King all the time, and any army that changes will collapse two years ago." ”
Gu Shenwei admitted this, he had seen many armies that were powerful on the surface but were about to collapse at the touch of a button, and the Great Snow Mountain remained stable from beginning to end, no matter how big the defeat of the Dragon King was, there was still a bargaining chip to turn the table, "Without me, the Great Snow Mountain will sooner or later become one with five peaks and declare war on Jinpeng Castle." But without the Great Snow Mountain, I will achieve nothing, at most I will be a killer. ”
"See, here's the thing, if you kill the Dubu King as a killer, Jinpeng Castle will immediately elect a successor, and the general trend will remain the same. But you are the Dragon King, you have the swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountain and thousands of loyal soldiers, even if the Dubu King dies under the sword of a small person, it will still cause it to fall apart. Dragon King, you let that monk pick a big bargain, he robbed you of the glory that should belong to you, and years later, people will not remember that you defeated the Dubu King, but will only relish the unskilled sword. ”
"Being remembered isn't necessarily a good thing. ”
"Haha, a killer is a killer. Zhang Ji passed by the Dragon King, walked to the door, and glanced at the gloomy sky and the soldiers in the courtyard, "You are very lucky, there is no military advisor like me who can only talk on paper, even if you have the advantage of the Great Snow Mountain, Jinpeng Fort could have won, it is all my fault, and today's ending will occur." I can't kill myself, that's to evade responsibility, please order the soldiers to kill me with knives, so that when I die, I won't blush too much. ”
"Good. Gu Shenwei said.
"Prosperity and decline, even if you know all the laws therein, you still can't control it. Dragon King, you have to be careful, the hatred of the Great Snow Mountain has been avenged, and he will no longer be your most loyal follower from now on. Zhang Ji straightened his clothes and added: "By the way, maybe you want to know, the tenth prince came back with the lotus girl, and you can find them in the inner house." ”
