Chapter 42: Sword Immortal

Pingwu County is located in the northwest corner of Guangyuan Town, backed by the Longmen Mountains, and is a border between the Han and Qiang ethnic groups. Due to the perennial contact with ethnic minorities, the people are strong, and the county residents have a bit of courage in their bones.

Since ancient times, the poor mountains and bad water have come out of the people, and the people of Pingwu County are brave, plus there is really no oil and water in this place, so those officials of the Yuan Court are too lazy to care about them, so that Pingwu County has also fallen into a happy place, although it is poor, but in the case of the Yuan Court's oppression, it can barely survive, in this troubled world, this is also a paradise.

A place like this should theoretically have nothing to do with destruction, but since the Heavenly Fortune Stone has issued this mission, it is naturally not without reason.

It turned out that as early as a hundred years ago, when the Southern Song Dynasty was notified, a Qiang invasion attacked Pingwu City, and the form was extremely dangerous.

Pingwu County naturally sent people to the state capital for help, but unfortunately, this reinforcement is left and left does not come, right and right do not come, seeing that the city is about to be broken, but the reinforcements can't even see a shadow.

Of course not, in fact, Pingwu County is close to the Qiang people, and as soon as the Qiang people move, they knew what they were talking about, and the heralds asking for help had already been sent to the state capital at that time.

In fact, the reason is very simple: the people of Pingwu County are not brave and brave for a day or two, and the Southern Song Dynasty Prefecture is also a headache for them.

What kind of violent beating of tax collectors, driving out errand servants, beating court officials, and other things that can pierce the sky in other places, are simply commonplace here. There was a saying in the Southern Song Dynasty court that it was better to be an official in Lingnan than to take up a post in Pingwu! What kind of place is Lingnan? In the Southern Dynasty, it was a wild land!

Usually only those officials who have failed in the political struggle will go to that place to become officials, and the Song Dynasty had an ancestral admonition that you cannot punish a doctor! Therefore, sending officials who failed in the struggle to Lingnan to become officials can be regarded as the greatest punishment for them.

But the officials would rather go to Lingnan to be officials than go to Pingwu to serve, and the impression of Pingwu County in the hearts of officials in the state capital can be imagined.

As the saying goes, cause and effect, cause and effect, there must be cause and effect! When we understand the cause of this incident, it is not surprising to look at the result. Yes, the state government did receive a request for help from Pingwu County, but so what?

In the hearts of the old men, these Diao people in Pingwu County are no different from those Qiang barbarians, and they fight each other like dog eats dog! Even many old men are still faintly looking forward to the destruction of Pingwu County by the Qiang people.

Anyway, it is impossible for the Qiang people to stay here for longer, and sooner or later they will have to retreat into the mountains. At that time, Pingwu County, which was looted, had no capital to fight against the state capital. Wouldn't it be nice to send outstanding officials to teach these untransformed people well, so that they can sincerely join the big family of the Chinese nation!

As for those county citizens who were killed, what does it have to do with the old men? Anyway, they are also Diao people who do not obey the king, and if they die, they will die. It's so hard that who else will deal with these masters for a few people?

In this way, under the tacit understanding of the lords of the state capital, the letter of help from Pingwu County was thrown into the garbage heap. The reinforcements that Pingwu County has been waiting for will naturally never arrive.

With the passage of time, the entire Pingwu county was on the verge of collapse. With the violent impact of the battering ram, the overwhelmed city gate finally fell, and the Qiang soldiers swarmed up. The people of the city suddenly fled in embarrassment, but it was just a small county town, where could they flee to?

Just when everyone thought that Pingwu City was about to be destroyed, a sword fairy came with a sword, and with a wave of the sword fairy's hand, thousands of swords suddenly appeared in the sky, and the swords shot towards the Qiang soldiers, and countless Qiang soldiers were shot.

Qiang Bing was shocked, looking at the sword immortal floating in the sky, his heart was terrified, knowing that this kind of immortal was not something that a mortal like himself could fight against, and hurriedly retreated, just like that, Pingwu County miraculously existed.

When Song Qingshu heard this, his face twitched, and he began to strongly doubt the authenticity of this matter. Forgive these ignorant people, in ancient times, people always liked to add various mythological factors to the legend, just like the legend of Song Qingshu is also said to be a sword stabbing out, the mountains and rivers change color, the sky and the earth crack, and a certain bandit or a certain bandit is instantly wiped out.

Song Qingshu was in a cold sweat when he first heard this version, and thought to himself, if I really had this ability, how could I still bully the bandits and bandits everywhere, I would have gone to slaughter the city and destroy the land a long time ago! Fortunately, the authenticity of this matter does not affect the development of the matter, so it is good to listen to it.

The people of Pingwu County escaped death, and they were inexplicably grateful, kneeling down to the sword fairy in the sky, and there was a Pingwu County order to ask the name of the sword fairy. The Sword Immortal didn't say a word, and Edgeworth flew into the distance, only to hear a poem from the distant sky.

Edgeworth rode the wind and eliminated the demons between heaven and earth.

I have fun with wine, and I am also upside down without wine.

Drink all the rivers, and then swallow the sun and the moon.

A thousand cups can't get drunk, only I am a wine and sword fairy.

Therefore, the people of Pingwu County knew that the name of this sword fairy was Jiujian Xian! And because this Jiujian Immortal was wearing a Taoist robe, they thought that this Jiujian Immortal was a Taoist person.

Taoism is headed by Lao Tzu, and it just so happens that there is really an old monarch temple in Pingwu County, and incense can also be poured at ordinary times. And this Laojun Guan Pavilion Master is also a thoughtful person, he immediately jumped out and said that this wine sword immortal is the protector of Laojun in front of the frame, and he was specially sent to save believers.

Suddenly, Lao Junguan incense soared to the sky, and the believers were full. The owner of the pavilion, who had made a lot of money, continued to talk nonsense, and in order to thank Lao Jun for his kindness, all the people in the county should have Lao Jun's surname Li! The people of Pingwu County, who were in a state of frenzy, actually believed his nonsense and changed their surname Li together.

Originally, as long as the parties agreed to change their surnames, it was nothing, what do you love your surname, and what does it have to do with other people? It's just that who knew that the Yuan Court of Lu Dao actually issued an order to kill all the Han people surnamed Zhang, Wang, Liu, Li, and Zhao in the world. This Nima was shot even while lying down!

Song Qingshu also understood that the name of the mission was to save Pingwu County, which was doomed to perish, and for Pingwu County, a county where almost all the people had the surname Li, even if there were a few people who did not have the surname Li, it was estimated that Yuan Ting would not be too lazy to distinguish between them, and would directly take the simplest method and send troops to raze the ground! And how could Pingwu County's projectile land resist Yuan Ting's attack? Isn't it doomed!

It's just how to save this Pingwu County? Song Qingshu's brows furrowed tightly, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was difficult to handle, and there was almost no solution. You must know that Yuan Ting razed Pingwu County to send a large army, this is not one or two martial arts masters, or dozens of miscellaneous soldiers, but an army of hundreds or nearly a thousand. In the face of this kind of army, the role of martial arts masters will be infinitely weakened.

You must know that martial arts masters are not omnipotent, they can single-handedly fight a dozen, they can assassinate enemy generals in thousands of troops, but it is really difficult for them to be a strongman.

Thousands of Yuan troops, no matter how corrupt the Yuan army is, it is not something that Song Qingshu alone can fight. Song Qingshu pressed his aching head, thinking hard about a way, and suddenly, his gaze was projected through the window onto the general, and suddenly a thoughtful look appeared on his face. He thought, he had a way.
