Chapter 67: Bad News
"I can't hide it, in fact, my father is Zhang Jiao, a great sage and good teacher of the Taiping Sect, he is my cousin, and our goal is to overthrow the Han Dynasty and focus on the people. Zhang Yao said without hesitation, and had a little more affection for the original ceremony.
"Is this true? Then our goal is indeed the same, as long as we can overthrow the Han Dynasty, we will do everything. Yuan Li was very excited at this time, and wanted to step forward to hold the two, but Zhang Xiao was a woman who was not easy to do, so she excitedly clasped Zhang Xiao's hands.
Zhang Xiao didn't want to be excited with the two of them, so he was held by the original ceremony, twisted very differently, and after struggling to break free from the original ceremony, he asked: "Then what do you want to do now? We have been practicing in the mountains for decades, and we don't know what has happened in the world, what has happened in these years?"
"Since the death of the country, in order to escape the pursuit, I have been incognito, in fact, I am not surnamed Yuan, but Yuan, my name is Yuan Li, the word is the high sea, I run around to get acquainted with the heroes of the world, just to one day be able to recover the middle room, to avenge my clan. Yuan Li calmed down, sat on the ground and said.
"What is the difference between you and Yuan Li's reading method by claiming to be the original rite incognito? People who know you know it is you at a glance, what safety is there at all?" Zhang Xiao felt that there was such self-deception, and asked kindly.
"Well...... this" Yuan Li suddenly woke up to the fact that a wise man must have made a mistake in a thousand thoughts, and he had made such a low-level mistake.
"Then do you know how my father Zhang Jiao is now, and what about the Taiping uprising?" Zhang Jiao asked impatiently, inferring from the situation described by Yuan Li's mouth, he had a bad premonition about the Taiping uprising.
Yuan Li thought about it carefully and said: "The Taiping Rebellion, also known as the Yellow Turban Rebellion, was suppressed more than twenty years ago, and it seems that it only lasted for two or three years. ”
Zhang Jiao was still very nervous and looking forward to listening to Yuan Li, but he didn't expect that the preparation for the uprising would be fleeting for so long, and Zhang Jiao had died a few years after leaving Zhishan.
There have been all kinds of good speculations, and there have been all kinds of bad guesses, but I didn't expect the reality to be so cruel, Zhang Jiao couldn't accept this blow at all, as soon as he heard that Zhang Jiao was dead, he immediately burst into tears like the Yellow River bursting its banks, gushing out, in order not to let others see his crying appearance, Zhang Jiao immediately got up, ran into the darkness of the woods, squatted on the ground, hugged his head and cried.
Bean's big teardrops are like pearls with broken threads, rolling down the cheeks, and Zhang Jiao's memories of traveling together are vivid, not long ago with Zhang Jiao, time flickered, but has been dead for more than 20 years, in Zhang Jiao's impression, no matter what he does Zhang Jiao will tolerate himself, caring, Zhang Jiao is not only his father, but also the person he admires the most, not only sympathetic to the people, for the people's life, but also to cultivate immortal arts, justice, for the people to eliminate harm, is a big hero in his mind.
But now, time has passed, the bones have been cold, everything has come to naught, such as today's chaos, Zhang Jiao is just a bunch of bones, Zhang Jiao can't accept such a reality, and has been crying bitterly, and his sleeves are wet with tears.
Zhang Xiao saw Zhang Xiao cover her face and run away, knowing that she was very sad now, but she didn't know how to comfort her, or let her cry bitterly, when Zhang Xiao heard the news, in fact, he couldn't accept it in his heart, since following Zhang Jiao, Zhang Jiao was like his reborn parents, when his hometown was destroyed, he was in a deep grief, and it was Zhang Jiao's continuous enlightenment that made him recover.
After that, Zhang Jiao treated Zhang Xiao as if he were his own son, taking care of him meticulously, although he strictly required cultivation, but he also knew that it was for his own good, but now, such a great person in his heart would have such an end, it was really unfair, it seemed that the sky was really dead.
Zhang Xiao was very sad in his heart, but he didn't feel like crying, but had endless grief and indignation, and he must make the people who suppressed the Taiping Sect pay the price.
"I wonder if there are any survivors of the Taiping Sect later, and where are they now?" Zhang Xiao suppressed the anger in his heart and asked Yuan Li, most of the people in the Taiping Sect knew each other and had a close relationship, and he didn't want them all to suffer this catastrophe.
"It seems that there is no more, all the Yellow Turban Army was suppressed at that time, and the dead fled and fled, and now they can't find the Yellow Turban Army to belong. Yuan Li thought about it, remembered something, and said, "No, there is also a Yellow Turban Army, which is the Qingzhou soldiers under Cao Thief, they have tens of thousands of people, they are a group of elites, and they should be the only remaining Yellow Turban old department." ”
Originally, when he heard that the Yellow Turban Army had also been killed, Zhang Xiao was extremely sad again, but when he heard that there were still so many disciples, he suddenly felt hope in his heart, maybe there were people he knew among them, and he really wanted to be able to see them immediately.
"I've heard you mention the Cao thief several times, who is this Cao thief?" Zhang Xiao asked when he learned that many disciples were under this so-called Cao thief?
As soon as he heard the Cao thief, Yuan Li immediately gritted his teeth with hatred, and said angrily: "This person's name is Cao *, and he is a big traitor, and it is because of him that today's situation will be there, and he is the culprit of the demise of the middle room." ”
Then Yuan Li slowly told Zhang Xiao about what had happened in the past few years since the Yellow Turban Uprising, until he said that the torches had been burned out, and finally finished.
Zhang Xiao thought that this was just a war between the Taiping Sect and the Han Dynasty, at most the Yuan clan was involved, but he didn't expect that there were so many princes and mercenaries who were self-respecting and dominated one side.
Zhang Xiao can't figure it out, what does this heaven mean, is the Taiping uprising a mistake, and now the world is in chaos, what should I do in the future?
Sitting in place in a daze, Zhang Xiao's heart was a mess, Yuan Li lit another torch, and picked up some branches on the side of the road, lit them with torches, and the fire gradually became bigger, which made Zhang Xiao's cold heart have a trace of warmth at the moment.
At this time, Zhang Xiao walked back, lost her soul, her face was like ashes, and when she came to the fire, Zhang Xiao saw that her eyes were red and her eyes were slightly swollen, which made people feel like they wanted to pity.
Zhang Xiao was extremely calm at this time, without saying a word, not at all like usual, sat down next to Zhang Xiao, and leaned on Zhang Xiao's arms, although such a move made Zhang Xiao overwhelmed, but Zhang Xiao understood Zhang Xiao's mood at the moment, and estimated that he was now her only relative, so he also hugged her with one hand.
"I don't know if Brother Gonghai has ever heard of the Qingyu Sword or the Liberation Sword or the Confusing Heart Sword?" Zhang Xiao didn't want to mention anything related to the Taiping Sect, so he opened the topic and asked.
Yuan Liben was still fiddling with the fire, and when Zhang Xiao asked him this, he immediately replied clearly: "I know, I've heard of it." ”
"You know, so where are these swords now? Brother Gonghai, these three swords are very important. Zhang Xiao originally wanted to just ask casually, Yuan Li was busy raising troops to restore the country, how could he know about the affairs of the cultivation world? Unexpectedly, he knew the whereabouts of these swords, Zhang Xiao was suddenly stunned, and Zhang Xiao was still lying on Zhang Xiao's arms blankly.
"I don't know about the others, but everyone in the world has probably heard of the Qingyu Sword, Cao Thief has two swords, combined into a pair, the male sword is named Yitian, and the female sword is called Qingyu, cutting gold and jade, sharpening iron like mud, I don't know what is the use of Brother Xiao looking for this Qingyu Sword?" Yuan Li didn't want to answer, I don't know what is so strange about these swords.
In order to make sure that this Cao*'s Qingyu Sword was the Qingyu Sword he was looking for, Zhang Xiao asked Yuan Li again: "Then do you know the origin of this Qingyu Sword, and whether this Qingyu Sword is complete?"
Yuan Li thought about it carefully and replied: "The sword is indeed complete, but what it was obtained, it seems to have been obtained later, and I don't know the specific situation." ”
This Cao * is indeed going to visit the meeting, Zhang Xiao thought that this Qingyu sword may not be the one he was looking for, but it is better to be careful, and he should confirm it.
"It's too late, it's late at night, it's better to rest early, why does Brother Xiao want to spend the night in this wilderness, is it better to be close to nature for cultivation?" Yuan Li felt that there was nothing to talk about now, and suggested that everyone might as well go to sleep, but then he thought of Zhang Xiao and Zhang Xiao breathing in the wild just now, and asked curiously.
Zhang Xiao was a little embarrassed and said: "It's a shame to practice all year round and be penniless." ”
Yuan Li laughed when he heard this, and said heartily: "Haha! I see, we hit it off at first sight, this little thing is wrapped up in me, don't be polite to me, come with me." ”
After speaking, Yuan Li got up and walked towards the city, Zhang Xiao wanted to help Zhang Xiao up, but found that she was asleep, it seemed that she had just cried a lot, and she was tired, so she picked it up and followed Yuan Li.
Not long after walking, when he came to the hotel he had been to before, Yuan Li greeted the shopkeeper a few times, and then walked upstairs, followed by Zhang Xiao.
Came to the room, the room here is not too big, but it is also clean enough, and the layout is also thoughtful, Zhang Xiao carried Zhang Xiao to the bed, sorted everything out, and then came to his room, lying on the bed, Zhang Xiao felt unprecedentedly tired, I really wanted to sleep and don't wake up again, and I fell asleep after a while.
