Chapter 56: Outside the Nanshan Gate
Eight years ago in Tongguan, Zhou Shiya sat in Beiyunguan, waiting for Zhou Tianyong to go to Lingnan to find news of Zhou Yi. At that time, someone rushed from Kanto to deliver a letter, saying that Zhou Yue was making trouble in Kanto and had been taken into custody by her.
Shiya recognized Yuegu's handwriting, so he didn't suspect it at all, and set off for Kanto that day. As for how Yuegu learned about him in Tongguan, he didn't bother to ask.
As early as half a month ago, Zhou Tianyong had already received another letter in Lingnan. The letter said that Zhou Yue was trapped in Kanto because of trouble, and Zhou Shiya went to relieve the siege, but found that Zhou Yue died violently in prison. Zhou Shiya was extremely angry and turned Xuefeng Ridge upside down, and Yuegu was forced to have no choice but to design to trap him in Xuefeng Ridge, and then let someone come to invite Zhou Tianyong to solve the situation.
Tian Yong read the letter and learned that Zhou Yue had died violently, and in grief, he had no intention of staying in Lingnan anymore, so he immediately took it to the north and rushed all the way to Kanto.
It is clear that these two letters were not written by one person. In the former, it is true that Yuegu sent people to invite Zhou Shiya, while the latter, in order to persuade Zhou Shiya to invite Zhou Tianyong, is a conspiracy.
As Yu Xi said in Beiyunguan back then, Zhou Yue was a decoy, but now it seems that Yuegu is another chess piece. The real purpose of the arranger is to use both fiction and reality, and use a set of serial tactics to induce the two masters of Baiheshan to come to Kanto at different times, and their real purpose can be imagined, that is, to defeat each of them, so as to weaken the strength of Baiheshan.
Just as Yu Xi expected, after Shiya arrived in Kanto, he found that Zhou Yue had died violently, and he turned his face with Yuegu at that time. Xuefeng Ridge is in a bitter cold place, the world is old, and Yuegu is in her own territory, so it is smooth.
However, Yuegu is not a ruthless person, she trapped the world in Xuefeng Ridge, the situation eased slightly, and then asked her henchman Huang Kui to personally invite Zhou Tianyong.
But the suspicion of the matter is here, how could the person who sent the letter to Zhou Tianyong so accurately predict that Zhou Yue would die in prison, and Zhou Shiya and Yuegu would turn their faces, and then be trapped by her in Xuefeng Ridge?
At that time, Huang Kui took the letter all the way to the south, and soon after he went out, he saw someone come back to report that Zhou Tianyong had arrived in Kanto, and now he was trapped in Huaichu and was fighting with people.
The town of Huaichu is located 100 miles south of the Xuefeng Mountains, which is densely populated and is a well-known transportation fortress in the Kanto region. In fact, at that time, Yuegu had long suspected that someone was plotting against her back, so she asked Huang Kui to go over to deliver the letter in person. Unexpectedly, Zhou Tianyong had already arrived in Kanto and was being besieged and killed, which shows that there must be a mystery here. Because he thought that Zhou Tianyong's attainments were enough to be proud of the world, since someone wanted to put him to death, he must be reckless. Therefore, she hand-picked all the elites of Xuefeng Ridge, drove a fast horse, and went straight to Xuefeng Ridge!
However, the road is one foot high and the devil is one foot high, and as soon as she led the people to Xuefeng Ridge, she heard that Zhou Tianyong and a man in black were fighting all the way and went west.
At that time, it had just snowed heavily, and there were faint traces of people fighting on the ground.
Yuegu then ordered people to get on the horse and chase after her, following the footprints on the snow, all the way to the west.
However, to Yuegu's surprise, not long after the footprints went west, they turned to the north, and looking at the direction, it seemed to be her Xuefeng Ridge.
Yuegu suddenly realized that she led people from the south of the Xuefeng Mountains, if Zhou Tianyong went north, then he would inevitably meet her, and the man in black lured Tianyong to the west, and then further north, nothing more than to avoid Yuegu.
It seems that Xuefeng Ridge was transferred away from the mountain, where the defense was empty, and Zhou Shiya was trapped on the top of Xuefeng, if someone took the opportunity to attack at this time, Zhou Shiya could not stop it, and he would inevitably be poisoned. And the man in black deliberately led Zhou Tianyong forward, afraid that he wanted him to see Zhou Shiya's tragic situation with his own eyes!
Thinking of it, Yuegu rode her horse north, and she hated to fly with her wings!
Sure enough, someone had already attacked Shiya at that time. He was trapped on the top of the snowy mountain, but fortunately there was a cave to escape the cold, but not long after Yuegu left, someone released a group of hungry wolves to the top of the mountain. Zhou Shiya could have coped with it, but when he was fighting with the wolves, someone secretly released cold arrows, which injured his legs! After Shiya was wounded, he was bitten by the wolves, and during the struggle, he stumbled and fell from the top of the mountain, breaking several ribs. When Zhou Tianyong arrived, Shiya was already unconscious, except for the fall on his waist and abdomen, his legs seemed to have been artificially hit hard, and his joints had been shattered.
Yuegu led people back to Xuefeng Ridge in a hurry, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw the dead and wounded of the soldiers and fell to the ground. After careful questioning, I learned that Zhou Tianyong had made a big fuss about Xuefeng Ridge, and now he was surrounded by people on the edge of a cliff on the west side. Yuegu was completely messed up, she didn't expect things to get so far, so she ordered everyone to withdraw from Xishan and let Zhou Tianyong come down safely.
But what is even more bizarre is that after the soldiers besieging Xishan returned to see Yuegu, they were puzzled, saying that since they ordered them to attack Xishan, seeing that Zhou Tianyong was about to go to a dead end, why did they let the soldiers retreat and fall short?
Huang Kui and the others heard it in a fog, and they didn't know why, but Yuegu realized the crux of the matter, so she sent the Lord to ask them carefully. The man said that they desperately besieged Xishan, pointing out that Zhou Tianyong was killed, and they were indeed ordered by Yuegu.
Yuegu suddenly realized that from Zhou Yue's death to all the current encounters, it seems that someone has laid a game behind her back, Zhou Yue is the bait, she is the chess piece, and the real purpose of the opponent is to get rid of the two immortal masters of Baihe Mountain through the sword in her hand.
So, she personally climbed the West Mountain to see Zhou Tianyong, when the world was in danger, where was Tianyong willing to listen to her explanation? However, Yuegu had already made people give way to life, and Tianyong had no intention of fighting again, so he returned to the Central Plains with Zhou Shiya.
Since then, Zhou Tianyong has not been out of the mountain gate for many years in order to heal Shiya's injuries, so that he has even delayed finding Zhou Yi and welcoming back Zhou Yue's bones.
Eight years have passed in a blink of an eye, and in these eight years, Yuegu has always been tracking down the people behind the scenes that blamed her back then. It's just that he is secret, and some things can't be brought to the surface, so she appointed Huang Kui to secretly supervise this matter, so as not to startle the snake, outsiders should not know.
==***==
From Yufu, Yue Zhong and others back to Baihe Mountain, Zhou Tianyong was always thinking about avenging Zhou Yi.
Time passed day by day, and unconsciously, a full hundred days had passed since Wu Xin accidentally injured Zhou Yi. That day was also Zhou Yi's 100-day sacrifice day, and Zhou Tianyong came out of the mourning hall, put a sword on his back, and went down the mountain alone.
As soon as I arrived at the foot of the South Mountain, I suddenly saw two people galloping from the southwest direction, and the horses passed by, raising a burst of flying sand.
Tian Yong took a closer look, there was a woman in front of her, and she didn't look familiar, but behind her, she was followed by an old man who couldn't be more familiar, this person was Yu Guangling.
Wu Xin is Yu Guangling's apprentice granddaughter, Zhou Yi died at her hands, and the two families have become feuds, he guessed that Yu Guangling came at this time, but he just wanted Wu Xin to intercede. And the woman in front of him, who looked like she was only in her twenties, happened to be the same as Wu Xin, Tian Yong thought that she was here to apologize, and the anger in her heart suddenly rose, so the long sword was unsheathed and stabbed at her!
However, the woman in front of her was not Wu Xin, but Yu Xi.
At the beginning, she said goodbye in Changsha, just to find Wu Xin to take revenge and recapture Zhou Yi's body. Later, Guangling found her and said that Zhou Yi's death was a manslaughter by Wu Xin, and she was proficient in medical skills, most likely bringing him back to Liuhang Peak for treatment. Yu Xi believes that although Wu Xin may have brought him back to the Six Hanging Peaks, after all, Wu Ye has not yet obtained the Nine Dragons Jade Flute, in her opinion, Wu Ye is a cold-blooded person, and it is very likely that he will use Zhou Yi's body as a bargaining chip to exchange the Nine Dragons Jade Flute for Baihe Mountain. So, she followed Yu Guangling out of Changsha and went directly to Liuhang Peak. At that time, Wu Ye already knew that Wu Xin had killed Zhou Yi, but according to his future, Wu Xin did not come back, and he also sent several people to look for it, but in the end there was no news of Wu Xin.
In desperation, Yu Xizhi temporarily returned to Baihe Mountain to visit Yufu.
Unexpectedly, when she came to Baihe Mountain at this time, she was bumped into by Zhou Tianyong, and she mistakenly took her for Wu Xin.
Tian Yong is bound to make a move at this time, and he also knows the purpose of Guangling's coming, although harmony is valued today, but when he thinks of what happened to him in Baihe Mountain, the anger in his heart instantly burned his reason!
His swordsmanship was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, the blade had reached Yu Xi's throat!
Yu Xi was taken aback, and because he was caught off guard, he could only lean back. Tian Yong's sword blade was so fast, and a wisp of her green silk was cut off by him!
"Stop!"
Guangling rose into the air, waved his hand and threw the scabbard in his hand, just before Tian Yong's second sword stabbed him, he just buckled the scabbard on his blade.
Tian Yong didn't stop, and the blade of the sword in his hand stabbed straight at Yu Xi with the scabbard.
At that time, Yu Xi had already fallen from her horse, Tian Yong was only one zhang away from her, and Guangling was still ten zhang away, and it was impossible to save her from danger.
Seeing that the force was already approaching Yu Xi's side, suddenly, a black shadow galloped from a distance, as fast as lightning, and in a blink of an eye, it had reached Yu Xi's side, blocking her behind before Tian Yong came, and Tian Yong's sword, with a scabbard, pierced deeply into its waist and abdomen.
The dark shadow that appeared at this crisis juncture was Niansheng.
Guangling took the opportunity to come to Tian Yong's side and clasped his hands firmly, "Stop!
When Tian Yong heard this, he let go of his hand, his eyes were red, and he couldn't help but shed tears, no one thought that old friends who had not seen him for ten years would be reunited in this way.
At the moment, the two sat on the ground on the boulder in front of the mountain gate, parting for ten years, things are wrong, causing people to worry.
Guangling explained that he met Zuo Zixiao in Changsha.
Tian Yong said: "Since the murder of Zhou Yi was committed by Zuo Zixiao, where is Zuo Zixiao now?"
Guangling sighed, and blamed himself a little, "At that time, I was worried about Yu Xi, just to find her, so I didn't care about Zuo Zixiao and the others." I didn't go back to him until later......"
"Zuo Zixiao has been killed, hasn't he?"
Tian Yong asked, which made the two of them embarrassed each other. It seems that in the matter of Zhou Yi's killing, Zhou Tianyong is no longer willing to trust anyone!
Guangling shook his head helplessly, "I have no intention of protecting Wu Ye, and the consequences of his actions will be borne by himself." I only hope that Baiheshan will not become a son in other people's chessboards, and I hope that the rivers and lakes that the three of us supported together back then will not be ......."
The two didn't say much, they looked at each other at the mountains in the distance, how the ravine in their hearts could get over, who could know?
