Chapter 45: Behind the Story

The palace courtyard, in the wings. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Mei Yichen looked out the window in the courtyard, the figure that had always stood tall and proud was slightly tired, holding his long beard thoughtfully.

"Twenty-three years ago, during the massacre of Taoyuan Village, Brother Murong let go of a seriously injured woman, who left with a baby in her arms and disappeared, I suspect that the child was the real reason for Ling Sheng's order to slaughter the village. ”

The drunkard looked puzzled, when Emperor Hongwu razed Taoyuan Village to the ground on the charge of "colluding with rebellion and plotting misdeeds", they also speculated that it was mainly because Taoyuan Village was born a child who was said to be the reincarnation of the Red Emperor. But Murong Yuntian's private consonance with the offender, they only heard about it at this time.

As if knowing that they had doubts in their hearts, Mei Yichen continued: "Except for me, Brother Yuntian didn't tell anyone about this matter, you must know that he built Murong Villa to secretly pay attention to the movements of Taoyuan Village at the behest of the Holy Lord. Once the matter of the conniving criminals reaches the ears of the saint, Brother Yuntian will inevitably be connected to the nine clans, and the fate of Brother Ma is a clear proof of this. ”

"For more than 20 years, the incident of slaughtering the village has always made me feel guilty. In order to make up for it, I went around the hundreds of miles to inquire about the whereabouts of the woman and the baby, but I was always at a loss, and they seemed to have evaporated from the world. ”

Xingsu and the drunkard glanced at each other, and sighed: "Back then, a group of brothers, which one didn't torture their lives for this matter? Under Long Yan's anger, human life was like a mustard, and we were just a chess piece in the hands of the saint back then. It's just that Taoyuan Village has no quarrel with the world, and it is really against the principles of heaven to enter the world with the heart of benefiting the world, and in the end it will lead to the disaster of extermination. ”

"Brother Murong invited us to come this time, and the extremely important thing mentioned in the letter should be about this baby, in my humble opinion. ”

"Why did Brother Yichen say that?" asked Xingsu, and the letter they had received was exactly the same except for the name, and there was no mention of it.

Mei Yichen turned around and said, "We have been friends for decades, what is there that is inconvenient to say in the letter, but it is closely related to us? And the only thing that has been pending in Taoyuan Village is the whereabouts of the seriously injured woman and baby. ”

"It's a pity, we are still a step late, Brother Murong has been murdered, you have also seen the tragic scene at the scene, in addition to man-made, more of it is done by some kind of poisonous beast, do you have a sense of déjà vu left by the footprints and claw marks left at the scene. ”

Xingsu seemed to be awakened suddenly, his face was extremely complicated, and he said in surprise: "You mean that the huge four-legged snake that attacked Emperor Hongwu at the altar back then, leaving Brother Chang Yuchun with a hidden illness and finally dying young?"

"Yes, in my opinion, those footprints and claw marks in Murong Villa, as well as some of the features on the deceased's body, are left by the four-legged snake that contains highly venomous poison. And you and I both know that no one in the world can control this beast except for the descendants of Zhurong in Taoyuan Village. Mei Yichen looked depressed, but he seemed to be relieved and said: "Maybe the baby back then has grown up, and Murong Villa is just the first step in his revenge action." The blood debt owed by our twelve guards will be paid with blood. ”

"Even if it's really a four-legged snake, it's not necessarily driven by the baby back then, don't forget, Yiyin, who followed Taizu to fight in the south and north, was put into the altar by Brother Ma, although we blew up the exit, but there may be another way out, maybe the matter of the villa was done by him. The drunkard kept listening, and at this time he was saying what was in his heart.

Mei Yichen shook his head and said: "If it is Brother Yiyin, the Red Fox Treasure Box is in his hands, how can he endure it for more than 20 years and not do it until now? It's a pity that Brother Murong left him alive with a thought back then, and now he has become the first person to suffer revenge. Isn't it a repetition of the destruction of villages and clans in the past?"

"Yichen's hands are covered with blood, even if it is against his life, he deserves it, and it is a relief to die at the hands of the descendants of Taoyuan Village. It's just that I don't want this unjust retribution to affect the next generation. ”

"I found out that Brother Murong's daughter has returned from Boye Mountain, and many people are beating her up for the Red Fox Treasure Box, she is now staying at the Fulin Restaurant, and we have to secretly protect her. ”

Xingsu said: "There is a debtor who is wronged, and the mistakes of the year began with us, and it should be ended by us, and we should not repay the wrongs anymore." Now the rumors of the reappearance of the Red Fox Treasure Crate are in a uproar, and the gang sects and strongman masters are all gathered here, if they are not stopped, they may cause chaos in the world. Even if we die, we should let the Red Fox Crate be buried in the ground, and no longer make up murders. ”

"The second brother of Wuwei also means this, but I haven't had time to tell him about the baby, that day in the villa, he went to Hangzhou City to inquire about the news, and it was almost time to come back. ”

The second brother of Wuwei in Mei Yichen's mouth is naturally an old man of Wuwei.

"The second brother has been thinking about the cliff alone for the sake of Taoyuan Village, facing the wall for 20 years, and the murderer is the baby Since it is just speculation, I don't think it's better not to say it first, so as not to make waves in his calm heart. Although the drunkard is called a "drunkard", he is thoughtful, so Mei Yichen and Xingsu both said yes.

"In this case, let's get a little prepared and head to Fu Lin Restaurant. The three young people who stayed with the virtuous niece still don't know where they came from, so we still won't meet with them for the time being, and we will discuss the long term when the second brother returns. Speaking of this, Mei Yichen changed his words, looked out of the door and said, "Wan'er, since you're here, come in, what are you doing outside?"

Wang Wan'er came in with a fruit plate and put it on the table, saluted the master and the two monsters of Liaodong, and said: "Wan'er brought some fresh fruits to the master and the two seniors. ”

"Well, since you're here, I don't have to go to you again as a teacher. If the old man comes to me, you can tell him to come to me at Fulin Restaurant. ”

"How long will it take for Master to come back?" Wang Wan'er respected this old man who was also a master and a father

"At least a day or two, at most seven or eight days, or maybe ...... I won't go back to the palace. As a teacher, you have taught you what you have learned all your life, and the achievement of geometry depends on your own understanding and hard work. Speaking of the possibility of not returning to the palace, Mei Yichen paused, he watched Wang Wan'er grow up, and in the past sixteen years, he regarded this well-behaved and sensible but tenacious and tenacious apprentice as his own, and loved him very much. Now I am afraid that I will see each other indefinitely, and I am also full of emotion in my heart.

"That Wan'er went to tell her father and mother, and prepared some things for the master by the way, just in case of emergency. After Wang Wan'er finished speaking, she was about to leave.

Mei Yichen stopped her and said, "Don't be so troublesome, you can just tell your father and mother to leave as a teacher." ”

Wang Wan'er had to obey the order, but in the end, when Mei Yichen and the drunkard walked out of the palace gate, they caught up and stuffed a bag of gold and silver that the king had outsourced to her master.

***

After listening to Wang Wan'er's story, the pony had a strange expression on her face.

I just made up a story about Zhu Rong's descendants to Cao Qianhu Hu, which scared him away.

However, I never thought that this nonsense story turned out to be real!

More than 20 years ago, there was indeed a baby who escaped the catastrophe, but this baby was not warm and is still missing.

So many things that happened during this time were speculated to be the work of babies who had grown up.

Could it be that the mysterious Blood Demon Hall Master is him?

He is the one who plays the flute and manipulates the poisonous lizard in Tianmu Mountain?

He is the one who uses the red fox treasure box as bait to lure the world's heroes here?

If so, how could his goal be as simple as revenge on the Twelve?

The world is his goal.

Let the heroes tear each other apart, which not only weakens the forces of all parties, but also causes the world to ****.

In troubled times, there are naturally kings who rise up with the trend.

The pony's face grew more and more solemn, and a chill that pierced his bones made him feel like he was falling into an ice cellar!
