Section 1: A sword walks the frontier
"Under the holy order! Qian Lingxiao rode the lieutenant to receive the order. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "A slightly hoarse voice spread throughout the Wu Zhuangyuan Mansion.
"Qian Lingxiao rode the captain Yue Xiao, fornicated with Di Guo, I Nian'er was young and did not know the world, so he was assigned to the Northwest Wilderness, and he will never be hired, Qin this!" The hoarse and slightly magnetic voice resounded throughout the Zhuangyuan Mansion.
At the beginning of the spring of the twenty-fourth year of Tianwu, a holy purpose set off a storm within the spiritual capital.
A holy decree concluded a generation of legends, the youngest martial champion of the Heavenly Spirit Dynasty, was shelved for two full years, and was finally executed by reluctance. The reason for this is known to the entire Lingdu, and even the entire Heavenly Spirit Dynasty.
In the twenty-second year of Tianwu, Yue Xiao, who was only in his early twenties at that time, pointed at the world with a sword, and sighed that the heroes of the world were worthy of a sword, although it caused the entire government and the opposition to shake, but no one stopped him, just because behind him stood the national pillar that shook the government and the opposition and made the rivers and lakes fearful.
But the world is unpredictable, before the palace test, the invincible Yue Xiao was in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, Chen Guozhu and Feng Zhaoran were guilty of ten crimes.
Feng Zhaoran just smiled and watched Yue Xiao state the charges one by one, and then said domineeringly in front of the civil and military officials, "What can you do with me", and simply ended the matter. And Emperor Tianwu, who was sitting on the dragon chair, could only stare viciously at Feng Zhaoran, the national pillar who was holding the sky with one hand, and the helplessness in his lamentation was undoubtedly revealed.
......
Three years ago, at that time, one person and one sword, three and a half months to step on one-third of the martial arts, defeated hundreds of martial arts respected ancestors, clamoring for the world's first bull, but it angered the entire Jianghu martial arts, countless martial arts heroes came to try the level, but they all returned in vain, and finally the Shaolin monk shot, a move of the black tiger to cut off the young man's proud sky, the world's first heart.
Shaolin Zhenren still has compassion for the youth, although he was defeated, hundreds of martial arts heroes, but he did not take a single life.
But the world is unpredictable, and the leader of the Haisha Gang was killed in Changbai Mountain.
All causes and causes are determined, and there are causes and effects.
The young man's utilitarianism was too heavy, and he finally got into a debt.
The boy who was defeated by the Shaolin monk was chased and killed by the Haisha Gang, and the seriously injured teenager was physically and mentally exhausted in the face of the strong attack of the three elders of the Haisha Gang and the deputy gang leader, and was surrounded by Qingfeng Cliff, in order not to be humiliated by the Haisha Gang, he jumped off the Qingfeng Cliff, but was rescued by Feng Zhaoran, who happened to pass by.
On the rivers and lakes, the grievances and grievances are clear, and the young man in order to repay the grace of saving his life, he won the champion of the martial arts for Feng Zhaoran, but on the day of the palace examination, he received a letter listing Feng Zhaoran's ten major crimes, and after thinking hard, he listed Feng Zhaoran's ten major crimes in the palace examination.
has been imprisoned for two whole years, the boy is no longer the boy of the year, two years of precipitation, although the utilitarian heart of the rivers and lakes has not been wiped out, but I have seen through a lot.
The person with the long sword should be a hero in the sword battle, but with a pair of shackles, it looks a little lonely.
At the gate of the Lingdu, thousands of people looked together, looking at the lonely figure, they probably sighed in their hearts, they should have been a good time, a peerless master, at the time of making contributions, but now they can only look at the Lingdu from afar, but they can no longer take a step into the Lingdu.
Standing outside the Lingdu, looking at the two gilded characters of "Lingdu" on the city gate, this is the concentration of the Tianling Dynasty, this is the center of economy and power, and then look at him, a gray linen prison robe, the word "prisoner" on the chest shows that he is an incompatible character, in this Lingdu, it is no longer related to him, Yue Xiao, who tried to ask the world with a sword, no longer exists, at this moment only wearing shackles, even the long sword that is close to the body needs to be escorted to the sinner sent by the official, this is how lonely, and this lonely person is twenty-three years old.
Looking at Yue Xiao in Lingdu, he smiled bitterly, and couldn't help but recall what the old fortune teller who had only met once said - success or failure are clear, and life and death exist in the rivers and lakes.
"It turns out that I still can't escape the fetters of fate. Yue Xiao sighed in a low voice, and then glanced at Lingdu affectionately, this prosperous place that has been grounded all his life will never come again? Turned around and left, lonely and without regrets, if there were ifs in this world, I'm afraid he would do the same. Without him, only morality.
"The rivers and lakes are known for their benevolence and righteousness, but the court has no sincerity. The official in a turquoise official uniform, carrying a burden in his right hand and a long sword in his left hand looked at Yue Xiao's figure without looking back, and shook his head.
"You must be from the Seasand Gang. Yue Xiao, who was walking on the official road, suddenly said to the green-clothed official.
"Maybe you're right, but unfortunately you're wrong. The green-clothed official said with a smile.
"You weren't sent by Feng Zhaoran?" asked Yue Xiao in disbelief.
"Let's go, I won't kill you anyway, and besides, I'm entrusted to deliver you safely to your destination. The Qingluyi official did not directly answer Yue Xiao's question, but gave another answer.
"Well, we'll have to give it a go. Yue Xiao said with a smile.
"I don't need you to do this little cat or dog, but to be on the safe side, I'd better give you back the sword. After speaking, the green-clothed official took off the shackles on Yue Xiao's shoulders, threw them on the edge of the official road, and sent the long sword to Yue Xiao.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll run away?" asked Yue Xiao.
"Run, save trouble. The green-clothed official said casually.
The two didn't care about the group of cats and dogs who had been following them on the side of the road, but they looked like they were talking happily.
......
"When do you say they'll do it?" asked the green-clothed official by wrapping his arm around Yue Xiao's shoulder.
Walking on the official road, this is already the second day, Yue Xiao changed into a robe, in this cold time in spring, the buds on both sides of the official road are waiting to be released, but this morning and evening are still a little cold in winter.
"Whatever, I'm used to it anyway, I've lived like this since I came out of the mountain, but I'm still alive and well. "Yue Xiao also looks like a hanger.
......
"You said it's the third day, why don't they do it yet?"
"Who knows, it may be that the gang leader is dead, there are no masters in the gang, a group of cats and dogs, not enough to see. The green-clothed official also changed into civilian clothes at will, although it was still cyan, but he didn't have the temperament of being an official, but he looked like a complete person in the rivers and lakes.
Just as the Tsing Yi official's words fell, an arrow flew out of the forest and shot directly at Yue Xiao.
Yue Xiao and the Tsing Yi official looked at each other and smiled.
Yue Xiao easily avoided the arrows with a single sliding step.
"It doesn't seem to be what we call a cat or a dog, but it's still a little capable. Looking at the sound of the arrow that had not entered the plane tree on the side of the road, Yue Xiao smiled.
The Tsing Yi official smiled and looked at the sound arrow that had not entered the plane tree, turned his back to the woods and said: "It turns out that the Haisha Gang still has such a big face, and even the poisonous dragon, one of the five poisons of Xichuan, has been invited." ”
"Feng Guozhu's strength is not small, even the famous Demon Sect Elder Qing Yi on the rivers and lakes has been wooed. A hoarse voice rang out behind the trees.
Behind the plane tree, a man wearing a hat, a black scarf covering his face, and a cloak sneered at each other.
Hearing this, Yue Xiao couldn't help but look at the green shirt again.
This man in Tsing Yi, in the past three days, has been talking nonsense with himself, sleeping on the grass together, hooking his shoulders like a brother, as the poisonous dragon said, Yue Xiao never imagined that such a righteous and proud person would be a member of the Demon Sect.
People in the Demon Sect? Could it really not be sent by Feng Zhaoran to kill me? Yue Xiao remembered that one of Feng Zhaoran's top ten crimes was collusion with the Demon Sect, and there was also a handwritten letter between him and the young master of the Demon Sect.
Yue Xiao, who was frowning, looked at the green shirt that pulled out the willow sword from his waist and went straight to the poisonous dragon, and the long sword in his hand unconsciously unsheathed.
On the originally silent official road, sword flowers were scattered, hidden weapons were flying, and from time to time there was a clanging sound of swords colliding.
In the following days, on this official road, which is rarely walked on weekdays, there were many official errands, and they were cleaning up corpses.
"It's so ruthless, it's all a sword to seal the throat, and none of these people are the enemy of one move. White Tiger, one of the four leaders of Shen Xuan Pavilion, frowned and looked at the corpse's wounds.
"Is there such a powerful person in the rivers and lakes?" asked Liu Qing, the deputy commander who was following him.
"Yes, you can count them with one pair of hands, but they are all masters, why bother with these cats and dogs of the Haisha Gang?" said Bai Hu suspiciously.
"Haisha Gang, it can't be Martial Champion Yue Xiao, right?" but ......" Deputy Commander Liu Qing couldn't believe his judgment, and was interrupted by Bai Hu before he finished speaking.
"Don't be fooled by appearances, it's entirely possible that what you said is from Lingdu to the Northwest Wilderness, which happened to pass through this place, and this time coincides. The white tiger seemed to have a plan, and just as he had a plan, he casually glanced at the plane tree next to the official road.
"Huh? The white tiger frowned and stared at the black plane tree trunk.
"What's wrong?" Liu Qing followed the white tiger's eyes and looked at the sycamore tree, but he didn't see the slightest.
The white tiger approached the sycamore tree and stared at the somewhat black sycamore trunk, and it was only then that Liu Qing noticed the black spots on the sycamore trunk.
"No, the five poisons of Xichuan don't have this kind of ability. The white tiger said as he looked at the black spots on the plane tree.
Hearing the five poisons of Xichuan, Liu Qing's body trembled involuntarily, but he quickly calmed down.
Five years ago, Liu Qing was the young owner of Liu's Manor, but that year there were five uninvited guests in the village, with black scarves and masked faces, looking like no one was close. It was they who ruined the entire Liu manor and ruined everything for him. The entire Liu manor was caught in a poisonous array, and his father died in the poisonous array in order to protect himself from escape. And the five of them are the five poisons of Xichuan.
But Liu Qing's simple action couldn't escape the eyes of the white tiger.
"Life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, although we are people from Shen Xuan Pavilion, but many things on the rivers and lakes are involuntarily, just like you said, this matter is not necessarily done by Yue Xiao, but we still have to investigate. The white tiger said to Liu Qing.
"I know, Brother Hu, I can understand, just like Master Hou, he is always subject to Feng Zhaoran, and he can only dare to be angry but dare not speak. ”
"Boy, just say this to me, as for others, it's better not to say it, be careful of your head. The white tiger seemed to be worried about Liu Qing's righteous words.
"Hehe, I know, I can say a few words in front of you. Liu Qing grinned.
"Chasing?" Deputy Commander Liu Qing continued to ask. Liu Qing has also followed the White Tiger for more than three years, understands the habits of the White Tiger, and does things in a coarse and meticulous manner, and would rather spend more time and take more wronged roads than wronged any good person.
"Chase!" The white tiger didn't say a word, stepped on the white horse, and went straight to Xiben along the official road.
"Hey, it's still this one, it's really what the pavilion master said, it's hard to make a big deal. Deputy Commander Liu Qing also stepped on the brown horse and chased after the white tiger in front of him.
......
Away from the court, I thought that I could avoid the entanglement of the court, but I never thought that I would be involved in a new turmoil.
The world is like chess, and if you run away and escape, you can't escape the fate of being a chess piece after all.
Originally, it would take three months to travel to reach the northwest wilderness, but for Yue Xiao, who was in a hurry with light skills, it only took more than a month to reach this northwest border.
Looking at the border town of Luosha in the northwest and adjacent to the Central Plains, the yellow sand under the red glow looks even more dazzling. Yue Xiao had a feeling of trance, standing here, there was a kind of warmth of home.
"Hey, I haven't seen that old antique for almost three years, and I don't know if the current old antique is dead. Yue Xiao said this, but his eyes were unconsciously moist.
The border town, although poor, does not have the style of the spiritual capital, but it is also people come and go, look at the gate of the town, people in and out, busy and busy is nothing more than a livelihood, but in front of this difficult gatekeeper still can't even raise his head, can only obediently take out the already little silver two filial piety in order to pass this "ghost gate".
Yue Xiao, who is not surprised, has long been dead to this, the imperial court, for him, is just a chopping board, the hundred officials who stand on the main hall and are full of wealth, Wen Taowu is the sharp kitchen knife.
The wide official road came to an abrupt end here, and behind it was the yellow sand that could not be seen at a glance. And the place he was going to was the center of the yellow sand, the so-called northwest frontier land, adjacent to the frontier army of the vassal state, the Xu Zi Battalion.
