Chapter 19: Burn Yourself
Wuxiang Mountain, Yu Guangling study, brightly lit.
A fast horse galloped on the dim mountain road, and in the night, like a bolt of lightning, stopped outside the Guangling study. Immediately jumped off and went straight to the study.
Yu Xi came to find her grandfather, was walking slowly, just arrived not far from the door, suddenly saw someone enter the door, and in a hurry, thinking that something big must have happened. So, Yu Xi quietly came to the eaves, leaned down against the window, and listened carefully to the conversation in the room.
==***==
"What!" Yu Guangling's exclamation came from inside the room, "It's Yue Zhong! Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"At first, I didn't believe it was him, but then I personally went to the Six Hanging Peaks, and Wu Ye personally told me that Yue Zhong took advantage of the fierce battle on the South Mountain of the Six Hanging Peaks that day, and took the northeast side of the path to the main peak. On that day, because there were too many people and horses besieging Nanshan, all the elite soldiers of the Six Hanging Peaks were sent to Nanshan to fight, leaving only some old and weak soldiers to guard the main peak, so after Yue Zhong smuggled up the mountain, no one could stop him. ”
Yu Xi could hear it clearly, it was his father Yu Qian's voice. Since the last time she brushed shoulders with Zhou Yi, she has been depressed all day long. Recently, I heard that Liuhang Peak was besieged, and the situation in the rivers and lakes was turbulent and changeable. At present, he suddenly heard his father talk about the Nine Dragons Jade Flute of the Six Hanging Peaks being taken away, and the person who took the flute was a person from Baihe Mountain, and Yu Xi's heart hung up.
Listening carefully, Yu Qian said again: "After Yue Zhong got the jade flute, he did not kill innocent people, he pretended to be a wounded soldier and quietly descended the mountain from the chaotic endgame of Nanshan. ”
"Since he is pretending to be a wounded soldier, it is naturally difficult to identify," Guangling said puzzledly, "So who detained this suspected charge on Yue Zhong's head?"
"Wu Ye planted a few handmaidens on the main peak, and when Yue Zhong attacked the mountain from the side road, there were handmaidens who went to Nanshan to report. It's a pity that before the people of the Six Hanging Peaks could return to defense, Yue Zhong had already succeeded. ”
Guangling still didn't believe it, and asked again: "Is the news credible? How can a few maidservants recognize Yue Zhong?"
Yu Qian replied, "These are all things that Wu Ye said to me personally. Long before the siege of Liuhang Peak, he deliberately asked people to draw the leading figures of the major gangs that have the strength to subvert Liuhang Peak today, and then showed the maids one by one, Baihe Mountain, naturally bearing the brunt. ”
"It seems that Wu Ye did it on purpose," Guangling sighed, and his tightly knit brows gradually relaxed, "I was still thinking that there were many people who coveted the Nine Dragons Jade Flute inside the Six Hanging Peaks, but everything has been peaceful for more than ten years, and it can be seen that the Nine Dragons Jade Flute is hidden in a top-secret place." In that case, why did Yue Zhong capture him so easily? Obviously, Wu Ye deliberately exposed Yu Xiao's hiding place."
"What does Father mean?"
Guangling sighed and explained: "Wu Ye is a calculating person, he knows best, if the world knows that the Nine Dragons Jade Flute is in his hands, it will be difficult to protect the Six Hanging Peaks with his strength. Therefore, he wants to find a scapegoat, and once this person gets angry, the spearhead of the entire rivers and lakes will be transferred, and Wu Ye's treachery and murder of his brother will also be covered up by people's greed to pursue Jindan. ”
"But, if this is the case, won't all these years of hard work by my father be in vain?"
"Not necessarily," Guangling said slowly, "The world only knows that if you get the Nine Dragons Jade Flute, you will get the Golden Pill, but Wu Ye is not so stupid." The Nine Dragons Jade Flute had been in his hands for so many years, he should have known that it was just a bane, what he wanted was the Golden Pill! This was also the reason why Yue Zhong was able to find the Nine Dragons Jade Flute so easily, I think, Wu Ye had already hidden the Golden Pill elsewhere. ”
Yu Qian suddenly realized, "People only care about chasing the Nine Dragons Jade Flute, so they don't care if Jin Dan is there! Wu Ye gave up the Nine Dragons Jade Flute in exchange for the self-protection of the Six Hanging Peaks, and at the same time, the Jin Dan will not flow into the rivers and lakes, so the rebellion of the Moyu back then will not recur, right?"
Guangling got up and paced, looking preoccupied.
"Is only a catastrophe like the Mohu Rebellion a disaster in the rivers and lakes? What is the difference between the fact that people are killing each other for a single jade flute, and the disaster that the murderous demon brought to the people?"
Guangling suddenly became resentful, and his heart was full of resentment towards Wu Ye, "He was not forced to make this decision, as long as he came back with the jade flute to confess his guilt, this turmoil would not happen!" But he didn't do it. ”
"What are we going to do now?"
"The top priority is to confirm whether Yue Zhong has taken away the Nine Dragons Jade Flute and whether he has returned to Baihe Mountain. Even if he really got the jade flute, as long as he can stop him outside Baihe Mountain, the situation can still be controlled, what he is afraid of is ......" Yu Guangling frowned, "In case he brings this bane back to Baihe Mountain, this river and lake will encounter a disaster comparable to the Mohu Rebellion!"
Yu Qian was taken aback, "Is it really that serious?"
"Why did Zhou Shiya and Zhou Tianyong retreat from the rivers and lakes? It was not because the imperial court wanted to seize the golden pill and forcibly intervened! The emperor wanted to get the Nine Dragons Jade Flute, and for many years he did not give up the means of suppressing Wuxiang Mountain with Baihe Mountain, and the Zhou Shiya brothers would rather retreat from the rivers and lakes than do anything that violated morality, and did not put the emperor in their eyes at all. But this time is different, once Yue Zhong brings the jade flute to Baihe Mountain, the imperial court will use the pretext of provoking disputes in the rivers and lakes to march into Baihe Mountain on a large scale! In addition, everyone in the rivers and lakes wants to obtain the golden pill, I am afraid that Baihe Mountain will be wiped out!"
Speaking of this, Guangling beat his chest and paused, "They are all confused disciples! Without Wu Ye's stupid things back then, your second senior brother would not have died." If Yue Zhong hadn't coveted the jade flute, the situation wouldn't have come to such a point!"
Yu Qian hurriedly persuaded his father, "Father, don't worry, the good planner is not chaotic, you better think of a way first." ”
Yu Guangling walked around an incense burner, and then said to Yu Qian: "If you go to Liuhang Peak again, you must stabilize Wu Ye and let him not build momentum! I am worried that those people who attacked Liuhang Peak will be used by others to attack Baihe Mountain instead. You must know that Zhou Ying was once an official of the imperial court, and he was the Sima of Queensland, so he must not send troops to the imperial court on the grounds of suppressing turmoil. Besides, you send someone to Baihe Mountain, tell Zhou Ying about the power of this matter, and then cooperate with him to find Yue Zhong, it is best to persuade the Nine Dragons Jade Flute to return. Also, send someone to bring some silver taels to the capital, find a way to find Qu Rong, and be sure to inquire about the emperor's current plans. ”
After speaking, Guangling slowly breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother Zhou Shiya traveled all over the world for the sake of the entire rivers and lakes, if I can't help Baihe Mountain survive this catastrophe, under the Nine Springs in the future, what face will I have to see these old people!"
Yu Qian felt the pressure of his father, his face was sad, he didn't say a word, bowed down, and then hurried out.
Yu Xi could hear it clearly outside the window, and before Yu Qian went out, she jumped into the flowers.
She knew in her heart that Bai Heshan was in the crosshairs this time, and Zhou Ying and the others might not know at this moment. Her father has always had a grudge against Zhou Yu's father, although Yu Qian would not take care of personal grievances before the big right and wrong, but she always couldn't rest assured that Zhang's mother and son.
It seems that Baihe Mountain has to go this time.
Yu Xi was afraid that he would be bumped into by the people sent by his father, so he packed his bags that night, rode a white horse, and went straight to Baihe Mountain.

Six hanging peaks, under the South Mountain.
In a fierce battle on the same day, the Central Plains Wulin multi-road men and horses launched a siege on the Six Hanging Peaks.
The battle was very tragic, although there were many people in the martial arts, but they were all fighting on their own, and most of the offensive and defensive ones were considering their own gains and losses, and they were all saving their strength so that they could compete for the Nine Dragons Jade Flute after the chief engineer.
Moreover, the morale of the elite of the Six Hanging Peaks was high, and Wu Ye was funded by some Jianghu wizards, so the war stalemate lasted for three days. Among them, there is a rising star, the cold swordsman Dong Guo Xiu.
Dongguo Xiu married Wu Ye's female disciple, who was also half of his son-in-law, so he fought desperately under the great calamity to stop the pace of the capture of the Six Hanging Peaks.
On the fourth day, Wu Ye led a team of men and horses to suddenly rush down from the main peak, and shouted in the face of the scuffle: "The Nine Dragons Jade Flute has been obtained by Yue Zhong, if you want to ask Wu Ye about his crimes, you can continue the fierce battle again." However, there is no longer a Nine Dragons Jade Flute in the Six Hanging Peaks, and those who disturb the world should be the ones who seize the Nine Dragons Jade Flute!"
Those people had no intention of fighting, but when they heard that Yue Zhong took the back road and took the lead in seizing the Nine Dragons Jade Flute, they sighed one by one, gritting their teeth with hatred!
Just when everyone hesitated, a person suddenly flashed out of the crowd, stepped on the horse, and said loudly to the crowd: "Zhou Ying is a villain! Now that he has let his brother-in-law seize the Nine Dragons Jade Flute, most of them are to enter the imperial court to seek wealth and nobility, this untrustworthy person, if he does not get rid of it, the rivers and lakes will be destroyed in his hands sooner or later!"
This person's surname is Yan, his name is Hao, and he is the eldest son of Yan Zilong, the prime minister of the former dynasty. Speaking of why this person hates Baiheshan so much, we have to talk about the gang of thieves that Yue Zhong killed when he rescued Cangjia. The leader of the thieves is Yan Hao's son, Yan Kui.
Everyone was bewitched by him, and they were all eager to try. Wu Ye took the opportunity to fan the flames, and everyone rushed up and ran to Baihe Mountain instead.
