Outside the city of Yueling.

Xishan has now been planned as a military camp for the northwest light cavalry that accompanied Chu Yujia to conquer the Qi State.

The world thinks that the Northwest Army camped here because it did not want to mix with other armies.

But in fact, only the insiders of the Northwest Light Cavalry know.

The reluctance to mingle with other armies was one thing, but more importantly, there were dozens of tombs on the hills of the West Hills.

As the sun set, after watching Wu Qizhi, Zhang Zhongjiu and others fall to the ground, Chu Yujia took a few pots of sake and Ben Le and Liao Hao to Xishan.

Ben Le and Liao Hao arrived here, without their usual arrogance, and even without their usual pride, they both squatted on the ground in a captain's armor to weed and clean up those graves.

This is the tomb of the Chu family, and it was buried here three years ago when Chu Qianwen was beheaded with dozens of people from the Chu family.

Where were the tombstones at that time?

Everyone avoided them, dug a big pit in Xishan and piled all the people in it, and even these graves were secretly cleaned up by Gong Qing after the incident and then buried one by one, even Chu Qianwen's grave was just a mound.

It was also after Chu Yujia came back that he erected a tombstone here.

Place the glasses one by one in front of each tombstone and slowly fill them up.

Staring at the tombstones, Chu Yujia didn't speak, Ben Le and Liao Hao didn't speak, the two of them stood beside Chu Yujia, looking at the tombstones in front of him together.

The Chu family counts Chu Yujia as a general for three generations, and he has been working for Ye Guo since Chu Yujia's grandfather.

It's just that he didn't have any fame at the beginning, and later Chu Qianwen accumulated a lot of money, from the Northeast Battlefield to the Jin State to the Southeast Battlefield to the Qi Kingdom, and what really made him famous was in the confrontation with many desert tribes and the Gumo Kingdom in the northwest station.

But in the end, it still ended up like this, uncles and relatives were beheaded without exception, and even the graves of grandfather and mother were dug up.

If it weren't for the fact that person was thinking about the love of the past years, even Chu Yujia would not be spared.

Now his mother's grave has been moved here by Chu Yujia to be buried with his father.

I don't know what it would be like if they were still alive.

Maybe Chu Yujia will not be famous now, he is still the son of the hussar general at the beginning, the son-in-law of the prime minister of the dynasty, or the son-in-law in Yueling City.

In the end, Chu Yujia just said: "Let's go......"

The three rode away on horseback, leaving only this grave in the setting sun.

Maybe in a hundred years, no one will know who is buried here, and no one will come to worship.

But now, they are the driving force for Chu Yujia to move forward.

Is it enough to kill one Wu Qizhi?

Is it enough to kill one Zhang Zhongjiu?

Even if it is the Zhang family that has an in-law relationship with Wu Dangguo, Chu Yujia feels that it is not enough.

Because the man is still alive......

For him, it's just a little bit of interest.

White Horse Mountain, a branch of the Tianshan Mountains, is located in the western part of the Ye Kingdom.

There is a flooded lake in the White Horse Mountain, which is a rare large lake in Ye country.

The scenery on the lake is very charming, especially in the summer, the lake will be full of lotus flowers, and once the king of Ye also traveled here on purpose, specifically named the lotus platform here.

Originally, this kind of place is a place where you don't want to come a second time when you come once, but the strange thing is that many people travel here every year.

Not for anything else, just because there is a temple mountain on the White Horse Mountain, and there is a Zhuangzi on the temple mountain.

This Zhuangzi does not have a plaque, but only sets up a huge stone monument in front of the door, on which only two words are written, piercing the clouds.

With such a view, it is natural that there will be many nearby people doing business here, among which the one who supports a boat on the flooded lake is a business with little capital, but can achieve food and clothing.

And on the flooded lake, there was a small boat, the boatman came out late, I thought that when it was his turn, few people would take the boat, but who would have thought that seven or eight people would come up at once to take the boat, but the boatman was very happy.

Their route is actually from the northeast to the southwest to the Lotus Terrace and Temple Mountain.

Taking a boat is especially in this place, but it is a very luxurious way to travel, and some people choose to take the mountain road to go around the lake to the temple mountain in order to save money.

That's why there is a saying that the rich take a boat and the poor go around the mountain.

The seven or eight people who came up were two groups of people, one group was two plainly dressed men, and the other group was an older man and his granddaughter, with a few entourage.

This old man is dressed extraordinarily, and at first glance he knows that he is not an ordinary person, at least he is also a rich man.

The old man's granddaughter looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old, and she was obviously pampered.

The girl rubbed her feet and neck while complaining to her grandfather: "If you want me to say, these so-called famous sects are fake Qinggao, and they have to hide themselves in the deep mountains and old forests to fill the mystery." ”

Coming here all the way to the mountains and rivers, although the scenery is good, but to see the scenery is for those who have a stable heart, the scenery is the scenery, but for these girls who are still playing age, it is a kind of torture, if it weren't for her grandfather had to force her to come, she would not have come to this kind of place where birds don't.

"Ting'er, don't talk nonsense. ”

The old man smiled and said, "These famous sects live in seclusion in the mountains, but it's not because they want to be full of mystery. ”

"What's not for mystery?"

The girl said with a dissatisfied face: "Who would be a normal person to come to this kind of place, isn't it good to open a martial arts gym or something in a lively city?"

"That's how young and ignorant you are. ”

The old man rubbed the girl's head dotingly, and said: "No matter which vassal state, the suppression of the Jianghu sect is very serious, and they are also forced to come to this kind of place, of course, some of them also want to cultivate their self-cultivation. ”

"Suppression?"

The girl asked with a puzzled face: "Why did the royal court suppress the Jianghu sect, isn't it a good thing for everyone to learn martial arts?"

"That's just for a small group of people. ”

"There are many people who have entered these Jianghu sects, so naturally no one will join the army, and no one will grow crops. ”

The old man chuckled, looked at the girl and said, "Think about it, once a vassal state loses its people to grow crops and the light and strong people who can join the army, can it still turn around?"

"Because of this?"

"Or else?"

The old man looked up at the mountains and said, "And this Cloud Piercing Sword Sect is not as simple as you think. ”

Hearing this, the girl pursed her lips disdainfully and said, "I don't believe you, what is the Cloud Piercing Sword Sect, in this kind of ghost place, I don't think it's as good as the small martial arts hall in our Guanshi Mansion." ”

"That's what you don't know. ”

The old man said unhurriedly: "As early as a few decades ago, the head of the Cloud Piercing Sword Sect famously moved the rivers and lakes with the words 'Imperial Sword Crossing the Water, and a Thousand Swords Rising into the Air', and I don't know how many people from the rivers and lakes come here every year to learn the arts. ”

"If you are lucky enough to worship under the Cloud Piercing Sword Sect this time, you will naturally understand how extraordinary this Cloud Piercing Sword Sect is. ”

At this time, the old man looked up at the two men sitting on the bow of the boat, and said with a smile: "Two, aren't you going to the Cloud Piercing Sword Sect too?"

This old man's name is Zheng Changzhao, the head of a famous family in Guanshi Mansion in Duchong County.

This person is really a character who can call the wind and rain in Guan Shifu, he is well-dressed, and the texture of his clothes is also of high-quality materials, and he looks ruddy and has an extraordinary temperament.

When they came over this time, it was nothing more than to visit the Cloud Piercing Sword Sect and seek an opportunity, if they could successfully let their granddaughter enter the Cloud Piercing Sword Sect to learn a trick and a half, it would be regarded as a creation.

In fact, don't look at the current Cloud Piercing Sword Sect in the chaotic rivers and lakes like Ye Kingdom, there is no title of the first sect in other vassal states, but the old head of the Cloud Piercing Sword Sect in the past few years is very famous in the rivers and lakes.

Recently, this old man also heard that Chu Yujia, the lieutenant general who is now in Ye Kingdom's rising fame, has something to do with this Cloud Piercing Sword Sect, after all, many people have seen Chu Yujia have a superb sword skill, and in this world, the sword can reach such a point, except for the sword piercing sword sect's sword skills, who can compete with it?

It's a pity that Zheng Changzhao came to study when he was young, but he was rejected by the Cloud Piercing Sword Sect for some reasons, and now he is almost in his twilight years, so he can only bring his granddaughter to study here to see if he can try his luck.

I met these two men when I was on the boat, Zheng Changzhao originally planned to charter the whole boat, after all, there were many people on his side, and he didn't want to take the same boat with others, but the boatman said that this was the last boat, and if he wanted to cross the lake through the water, he would have to wait for tomorrow morning.

In the end, Zheng Changzhao didn't insist and let the two of them go to the ship.

The two were obviously a master and a servant, and after they got on the boat, the master kept looking ahead, and the servant with a tattered cloth bag was guarding the side, and neither of them spoke.

I don't know if Zheng Changzhao is thinking about multiple friends and multiple paths, or if he is really idle and bored, so he took the initiative to open his mouth.

The master looked like he was twenty-five or sixteen years old, and when he heard Zheng Changzhao speak, he nodded lightly.

But this made Zheng Ting'er a little unhappy, and suddenly frowned, and said: "What's the matter with you, my grandfather is talking to you, that is to look up to you, you actually have this attitude?"

The Zheng family is one of the most famous families in Guanshi Mansion, and it is Zheng Changzhao's favorite granddaughter, so she must have been loved by thousands of people since she was a child, although she is not a princess, but it is not much worse than the life of a princess, even some officialdom figures in Guanshi Mansion are polite when they see her. 、

Seeing this man's attitude at this time, Zheng Tinger was naturally dissatisfied.

What is her grandfather's status?

Even the county guard of Duchong County was respectful when he saw it, and the local scholar was even more eager to tie the knot, but this person was fortunately so arrogant in front of his grandfather.
