The south of Tianmu Peak is barren and difficult to walk, but there is a small road leading to the suburbs in the north. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoYang Zhan and Hua Linglong circled around Tianmu Peak, and found nothing else except an empty cliff cave.

Just when the two of them hesitated, there was a scholar-like person on the other side of the path walking towards Tianmu Peak with a few bags on his back. Yang Zhan was overjoyed, so he took Hua Linglong down the mountain to intercept him.

Although he saw a man and a woman blocking the road in front of him, he also ignored the book in his hand as he walked.

Yang Zhan immediately stepped forward to stop the scholar and said: "This mountain is deserted, there are wild beasts from time to time, Mr. is alone, aren't you afraid?"

The scholar glanced at Yang Zhan, and only said clearly: "I am the agricultural official of She County, and I was originally ordered to come here to investigate the wild miracle, what kind of beasts are you afraid of?"

Yang Zhan couldn't help laughing, and said: "In these years, the official actually ran an errand alone, and he came to this inaccessible place, and he really did his best. ”

The scholar ignored the "hum" and went straight past Yang Zhan. But Yang Zhan stopped in front of him with a long knife.

"It turned out to be a grass coward, the official is not big, and there is no silver tael, but I am afraid that you will not get anything if you rob it. The scholar said disdainfully.

"Why do you have to pretend to act anymore? You are Tao Yong, a guest of Huangshan Mountain. Yang Zhan said coldly.

Mr. Scholar glanced at Yang Zhan, and then laughed loudly: "Haha, I am Xu Fengnian, the agricultural official of She County, how did I become the Tao Yong that Your Excellency said?"

As he spoke, the scholar took out the official documents and official cards on his body, which clearly stated that this person was Xu Fengnian. But Yang Zhan was inexplicably angry and crushed all the official documents, official cards and other items, and finally threw them on the ground. Such a scene surprised the scholar to see.

The scholar was about to accuse Yang Zhan, but Yang Zhan grabbed the words and said: "I know that Tao Yong is good at disguise, if you quibble for no reason, then I have to tear off your human skin and disguise, but see how you deny it again." ”

Yang Zhan immediately raised his knife and pointed at the scholar's face, with his knife technique, he only needed a little force in his hand to cut his face, and it was clear whether it was true or false.

The scholar looked at Yang Zhan with some anger, and then said, "Are you so sure that I am Tao Yong, the guest of Huangshan?"

"Of course. Yang Zhan said firmly.

The scholar paused, then asked, "I would like to hear your opinion." ”

"First, this place is secluded and remote, and if an official comes here on official business, he must bring three or five retinues, which is a safe strategy; second, if you really come all the way from the county office, you will never have the soles of your shoes spotless, which means that you are only walking around the neighborhood; third, because you are walking with luggage on your back, your body is hot, so you exude an old man's body odor, which is definitely not owned by young people. So you are Tao Yong, who lives in seclusion here. Yang Zhan said carefully.

The scholar had to be silent, and only asked later: "But I don't know why Your Excellency is looking for me so hard?"

Yang Zhan laughed out loud, and this laughter only made Tao Yong's heart tingle.

"Joke, you actually asked me what I was looking for you?" Yang Zhan said angrily.

But Tao Yong still put on a look of waiting for an answer, Yang Zhan angrily waved his big knife, and the scholar's skin on Tao Yong's face was immediately cut in half and fell down. The original handsome scholar instantly turned into a rugged old man, which really surprised Hua Linglong on the side.

"Twenty-one years ago, you colluded with the traitorous party in the DPRK and China, and bloodied the lives of dozens of people in the military department's squire Fang Wanli's entire family, but I don't know if you still remember?" Yang Zhan asked with the anger in his heart.

Tao Yong realized that the man with the sword in front of him was here to take revenge, so he looked at Yang Zhan again and again, but finally said in confusion: "Back then, there was no living mouth left in the Fang Mansion, how could there be such a number one person as you?"

"Haha, you must not have imagined that there would be a baby alive back then, right? Yang Zhan said angrily.

Tao Yong suddenly hesitated, maybe he really couldn't figure out what was going on, maybe he was just pretending to be confused.

Yang Zhan didn't rub in with him like this, and only said loudly: "I am Yang Zhan, the grandson of Fang Shilang, and I killed you today just to avenge my parents and my grandfather's family." ”

With that, Yang Zhan slashed, and the blade immediately swept towards Tao Yong.

Tao Yong didn't intend to sit still, and when Yang Zhan started, he had already abandoned his bags and ran away. Yang Zhan knew that Tao Yong was a deceitful person, so he naturally had already guessed that he would have such a move, so he stepped out of Lingyundu and chased after him.

Tao Yong's housekeeping skills in addition to disguise, is the art of light skills, when he avoided Yang Zhan's blade for the first time, he used his unique light skills to turn over to the roadside bushes, and at this moment he was haunting the miscellaneous with a high and a low.

In terms of light skill and foot strength, Yang Zhan is naturally not inferior to him, but here is full of tall vines and reeds, Yang Zhan wants to catch Tao Yong every time, but in the end he let him sneak into the chaos and get lost.

Tao Yong is familiar with the terrain here, and if Yang Zhan can't catch him, he will inevitably let him abscond successfully. With this thought, Yang Zhan jumped into the air, and then swung the Devil's Eye Crazy Knife at the ground. As soon as Yang Zhanfu put away his moves, countless plants and trees fell down in the weeds, and a ring several zhang in size immediately appeared on the ground.

It turned out that after Yang Zhan locked Tao Yong's location, he drew a separation circle on the periphery of his hiding place, and if he wanted to capture him at this moment, it would be equivalent to catching a turtle in an urn.

It's just that this single bush is still unmoving, could it be that Tao Yong is no longer here?

But Yang Zhan didn't care about so much, he only said coldly to the grass: "You owe my family a blood debt, how can you hide?" At this moment, when I look at it again, I can vaguely see Tao Yong's figure.

Yang Zhan immediately raised the Devil's Eye Knife again, but there was a sound of begging in the grass. Tao Yong saw that Yang Zhan was cut head high with one knife, and the second knife was bound to cut the grass to waist height, so where was there any chance of survival?

"Yang Daxia is slow, Yang Daxia is slow. Tao Yong jumped up in the grass and shouted.

It didn't take long for him to come out helplessly.

"But you don't hide and hide?" Yang Zhan said disdainfully.

"Yang Daxia's knife skills are incomparable, it is easy to kill the old decay, I knew this, I should have been stabbed by you on the road at that time. Tao Yong laughed at himself with a smile on his face.

Yang Zhan stared at Tao Yong silently, but he couldn't kill this rugged old man. Yang Zhan's move made Tao Yong wonder, was he trying to use a cruel method to deal with himself, or did he think of something else?

Thinking of this, Tao Yong immediately said nervously: "Killing people pays for life, it is justified." The old man killed your whole family back then, and you will take my head now, so it can be counted as two clear. ”

"You help to abuse and harm Zhongliang, even if I kill you a thousand times, I can't get rid of it. Yang Zhan said angrily.

Tao Yong was silent for a moment, and then said sadly: "Haha, help the abuse...... Looking back at the past, we were just a hands-on tool in this matter, listening to slander in a daze, and indebting a blood debt in a daze, which was indeed aiding and abetting. It's just that when things come about, it's often the tools like us who die, and those who plan it die well, which is really sad to think about. ”

Yang Zhan immediately stared at Tao Yong, and asked calmly: "If you truthfully tell the mastermind who planned this matter back then, I, Yang Zhan, will spare your life today." ”

Tao Yong looked at Yang Zhan intently, and said after a long time: "Fang Shilang was originally very prestigious, but why were so many people from the rivers and lakes willing to go and assassinate him later?"

Yang Zhan replied disdainfully: "Because the real murderer behind the scenes spent a lot of money to hire you scum who see money." ”

"Yang Daxia is only half right, the situation back then was that Fang Shilang was rumored to be a rebellious minister and thief who colluded with gold thieves, betrayed the country to seek glory, and tried in vain to usurp the throne...... Tao Yong said.

But before Tao Yong finished speaking, Yang Zhan mentioned Tao Yong and scolded: "Shut up, if you dare to insult Fang Shilang for half a sentence, I will let you be in a different place now." ”

Tao Yong had to swallow the rest of the words back, and Yang Zhan let go of him and let him continue talking.

"Someone deliberately spread the news that Fang Shilang colluded with the Jin people, and the two countries were at war at that time, but everyone who heard about it was indignant, let alone the children of the rivers and lakes?" Tao Yong said.

"My grandfather's life was bright and fair, if it weren't for his strong resistance to Jin, this Zhao Song was afraid that it would be finished in the Jianyan period. Yang Zhan said angrily.

"The so-called crowd is full of gold, accumulating and destroying bones, at that time, this news came out from the court, how could the world not believe it?" Tao Yong said again.

"Loyalty and treachery do not distinguish, the king is the king of the dead country, and the minister is the minister of the dead country. Yang Zhan said contemptuously.

Tao Yong didn't plan to talk to Yang Zhan on this issue, so he said bluntly: "Because of such propaganda, the government and the opposition were angry at that time, and some people in the rivers and lakes began to secretly stab Fang Shilang, but Shilang's Mansion was heavily guarded, and these lone knights all died. ”

"I'm afraid it's also a person hired by the imperial court. Yang Zhan said disdainfully.

Tao Yong shook his head and said: "Among the people who assassinated Fang Shilang alone, there was a monk nicknamed the Monk of Injustice, why did the imperial court in the martial arts invite him? There is also a lone guest in Dongshan, who is nearly seventy years old and has no children and no daughters, but what is the use of asking for some money? After such a thing happened two or three times, the guard outside the Shilang's mansion was immediately increased, and those acts of assassination alone stopped. ”

Yang Zhan could roughly guess the situation at that time, but he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.

Seeing that Yang Zhan was silent, Tao Yong continued: "Back then, a young knight informed us that the imperial court needed us to come forward to do something, and after we asked carefully, he told us about the matter and gave each person a reward of five thousand taels of gold. ”

"This person is Zhao Siyan?" Yang Zhan asked coldly.

Tao Yong was a little surprised, then nodded and said: "He is a rising martial arts star, but unfortunately he has not been heard from because he was involved in this matter." ”

"Since you said that there are many martial arts talents, why did he choose you? And he also wants to choose some people who are not familiar with each other to do this together?" Yang Zhan asked.

Tao Yong paused, and after some thought, he said: "Fang Shilang has a very high prestige in the army, and many generals are his subordinates, if Fang Shilang really dies at our hands, it will be difficult to have a good end in the future." Therefore, most of the famous knights are angry, but few are willing to come out. ”

The rivers and lakes are a place to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, but those who have achieved some achievements must look forward to the future, they will choose like this, but they also echo the personal situation.

"Maybe that's a reason, but I think they're trying to make it easier to deal with the aftermath, and it's always a lot less fun to kill someone with no name. Yang Zhan said disdainfully.

Tao Yong had to smile helplessly, and then said silently: "At that time, we were also worried about retaliation by the army, but Zhao Siyan told us that this matter was supported by Qin Xiang, and the three divisions, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites and other important officials all cooperated, so that as long as we completed this matter, we would never have to worry about the future." ”

"Haha, those are the traitors, and you must have tasted their methods later. Yang Zhan said proudly.

Tao Yong naturally understood what Yang Zhan was referring to, so he nodded and sighed: "Yang Daxia is right, not long after we finished doing things, five or six of our companions died mysteriously. It is precisely because of this that the old man gradually reflected on this matter, but the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, no matter how great Fang Shilang's merits were, he was also an official of the imperial court, and the emperor only needed to make a holy decree to solve this matter, why did he want to fake his hands and us Jianghu people? It turned out to be a partisan dispute in the court, Fang Shilang was born in the army and naturally fought the main battle, so he was at odds with the civil officials, but at that time, the army was protecting him, and these civil ministers had to fabricate such things to slander his image, and then use the power of the rivers and lakes to get rid of him. ”

"But why can you live in the hometown of Huangshan?" Yang Zhan was puzzled.

Tao Yong said proudly: "The most dangerous place is precisely the safest place." When the world hears my name as a guest in Huangshan, they must know that I made my debut in Huangshan, and guess that I will definitely not stay here after the incident. I just had to get out of the limelight and come back and be safe. ”

Tao Yong is right, but in addition to the truth of his analysis, there are two other points: one is that he is proficient in the art of disguise, and he does not show his true face on weekdays, and he has no fixed residence, so even if someone wants to find it, he may not be able to find it;

"I returned to Huangshan after a few years of avoiding the limelight, and after serving as the agricultural officer, I secretly inquired about the causes and consequences of the events of that year. Although it is difficult to make a breakthrough in people's words, at least they know that the officials who took the lead in hosting this matter back then had the means and methods to frame Fang Shilang designed by themselves. Yang Daxia can ruthlessly kill one of the old cases today, so he should find these instigators to settle accounts. Tao Yong said.

"But who are they?" Yang Zhan asked silently.

"Gusu Wang Zhong Lu was the servant of the Ministry of Officials, Qiu Guanghan of Chuzhou was the history of the military supervisor of the year, Meiling Ye Dingchen was the history of the imperial inspection of the year, and Zheng Boliang of Luling was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the year. These people created the Fang Shilang case, and then went around chasing and killing those of us who came out, but they were all able to enjoy their old age in peace, which is really unfair. Tao Yong said angrily.

Yang Zhan nodded, but wrote down what Tao Yong said one by one.

"I will definitely go back to visit these people, and if it is really as you say, then I will definitely be the soul of my sword. Yang Zhan said.

Tao Yong suddenly smiled and said, "This is the best." I'm in prison right now, thanks to these people. But thinking back to what he did back then, he really had no shame to live in the world, so Yang Daxia did it. ”

Yang Zhan put away the knife and only said: "You are already old like this now, I won't kill you, I'm afraid you won't have a few days to live, but why dirty the knife in my hand." ”

Tao Yong was sad for a while, and only read slightly: "Haha, there are few days to live, there are few days to live." ”

Thinking about it, Tao Yong walked to the boulder at the bottom of the mountain, and after kicking the stone on the ground at will, he crashed headlong into the cliff.
