At dusk, the setting sun is like blood.
Xu Qi'an saw a rich delicacy in front of him. At the table sat an old lady with gentle temperament, a young man, a delicate woman, and two children of different ages.
They are Zheng Xinghuai's family... I am looking back at his memory from Zheng Xinghuai's first perspective... Xu Qi'an, who had empathy once, immediately developed enlightenment.
He quietly listened to Zheng Xinghuai scolding his son.
Zheng Xinghuai has two sons, and the eldest son has taken official career. Thanks to Zheng Xinghuai's teaching, the official voice is very good and the future is boundless.
The second son of is a dandy disciple, who spends his time fighting eagles and dogs, doing nothing.
Because of Zheng Xinghuai's strict family education, this second son didn't dare to do anything to bully men and women, and even the dude couldn't do it well.
A waste of nothing.
Today, the second son of Zheng was drinking in the brothel and clashed with an army officer, and was severely beaten by others.
Zheng Xinghuai scolded the second son, sternly.
The second son of Zheng was not convinced, and said aggrieved: "Father, I just went to the brothel. It was the man who took the initiative to pick things up. I didn't make the trouble. What's wrong with me."
Yes, what's wrong with visiting the brothel? Xu Qi'an complained for Zheng Er Gongzi.
"Father, I want to go back to my natal family. Next month will be my father's 60th birthday."
At this time, the daughter-in-law spoke.
Before Zheng Xinghuai spoke, the second son waved his hand again and again, saying: "Are you crazy? Recently, the barbarians are making troubles outside. Chuzhou City is so close to the border, and he left the city indiscriminately.
There was horror on his face, and he reprimanded his wife who did not live or die.
Zheng Xinghuai said angrily: "I am greedy for life and fear of death, how could I give birth to trash like you."
Xu Qi'an can't see Zheng Xinghuai's face, but in a state of empathy, he can feel Zheng Xing's anger that is unsuccessful.
He was disappointed and helpless with this second son. He only felt that the other party was useless, even the eldest son couldn't match a single hair.
At this time, a man in light armor rushed into the inner hall in a panic. He was carrying a horn bow and a waist and hip long knife. It was Li Han.
Li Hanlian said: "My lord, the army of the Weisuo suddenly entered the city for some reason, massaging the people, not knowing what to do."
Zheng Xinghuai was taken aback, and asked in a dazed manner: "The army of the garrison gathers the people? Where does it gather and who leads the army?"
Gather the people, massacre? Xu Qi'an shuddered in his heart, and then he heard Li Han say:
"The people were gathered in the four directions, southeast, northwest, and the leader was the commander, the guardian of the country, Que Yongxiu. He should be in Nancheng now."
Zheng Xinghuai put down his chopsticks and stood up and said, "Prepare the horse, if my officer has a look. Tell Mr. Zhu and go with me."
Immediately, Zheng Xinghuai took the "Keqing" from the mansion and rushed towards Nancheng on horseback. Along the way, he saw the soldiers escorting the people and forming a team. He didn't know where he was going.
"Stop, what are you going to do?" Zheng Xinghuai shouted to stop.
The tough soldiers looked at him coldly and said nothing.
Zheng Xinghuai asked again, but no one answered.
There was an ominous premonition in his heart, and instead of continuing to entangle with the soldiers at the bottom, he slammed his horse whip and ran along the street towards Nancheng.
Following the soldiers along the way, Zheng Xinghuai arrived at the destination quickly. He saw the black and crushed heads, roughly estimated to be more than 100,000 people.
There are ordinary people, merchants, and even officials in the yamen. These people were gathered on a wasteland in Nancheng and rubbed their shoulders.
Thousands of soldiers who wore stubbornness and sharpness, or carried hard bows, or carried crossbows, surrounded this group of people.
Zheng Xinghuai swept his eyes, locked the commander Que Yongxiu who was on the horseback, and a dozen spies wrapped in black robes beside him.
Zhenbei Wang’s secret agent...Zheng Xing squinted his eyes and shouted in a deep voice: "Duke Hu, what are you doing."
"President Zheng, you are here just right." Que Yongxiu's one-eyed, cold look, said: "Master Zheng, the barbarians have repeatedly invaded the border, burned, killed and looted, do you know why?"
Zheng Xinghuai didn't understand why he asked, and frowned, "What does this have to do with your gathering of people?"
Que Yongxiu pointed his spear at hundreds of thousands of people, and laughed:
"Of course it does matter. As a citizen of Dafeng, I have dedicated myself to the stability of Dafeng's frontiers and died. Spreading blood for Dafeng Guozuo. The political envoy Zheng believes that what I have said is reasonable?"
"Inexplicable..."
Zheng Xinghuai was about to scold him, when he suddenly saw Que Yongxiu pinched his horse belly and launched a charge towards the people.
"Puff!"
He pierced a civilian with a spear, raised him high, and splashed out blood. After a few painful struggles, the man on the tip of the spear sagged his limbs weakly.
The scene was suddenly chaotic, and the people around screamed, but the people farther away did not see the scene and were at a loss.
Zheng Xing's eye canthus wants to split: "Que Yongxiu, you dare to kill civilians indiscriminately, are you crazy?"
Tucheng is about to begin......... Xu Qi'an already knows the next plot. Through empathy, he deeply understands Zheng Xinghuai's astonishment and anger at this time.
"Master Zheng, don't worry, it's your turn right away." Que Yongxiu shook his hand and shook off the corpse with the tip of the gun, and waved his hand: "Fall arrows!"
Thousands of soldiers bent their bows together and aimed at the assembled innocent people.
"咻咻咻......"
The overwhelming arrows shot out, dense like locusts, like a rainstorm.
Every arrow will take a life, and the people will fall to the ground with an arrow, crying desperately, life is like a mustard. This includes the elderly and children.
The people who had escaped the first wave of arrows began to flee here, but waiting for them was the butcher knife of the elite soldiers.
"Help, help..."
"Don't kill me, don't kill me."
The people panicked and knelt down and begged for mercy. They couldn't understand why Dafeng's army wanted to kill them. Why do these soldiers guarding the border, instead of killing the barbarians, swing their butcher swords at them.
噗......
The butcher knife fell, the man fell to the ground, blood spattered.
The soldiers did not have half pity for begging for mercy and kneeling.
"Asshole, what are you doing? I am a student from the school, a scholar of fame and fame, and I slaughter innocent people, the crime is very heinous..."
A scholar in a blue Confucian shirt turned pale, but bravely stood up, stood in front of the people, and yelled at the soldiers.
Not far away, a very long "chiang" drew out his saber and stabbed it into the scholar's chest fiercely.
Warm blood ran along the blade, the scholar stared at him, staring at him........
Xu Qi'an felt that his soul was trembling, not knowing whether it was from himself or Zheng Xinghuai, probably both.
"Kill everyone without leaving a living." Que Yongxiu raised his spear and shouted.
did not keep alive, of course, including the Zheng Buzheng envoy present.
Several spies drew out their swords and slayed the envoy Zheng Zheng aggressively.
Ke Qing, named Zhu, sank his waist and lowered his hips, his fist ignited like a transparent flame, twisting the air, and suddenly shot out.
A black robe spy did not retreat but moved forward. His five fingers were like sharp claws, deterring the howling fist-jin, and he tore it fiercely, "hu" the fist-jin collapsed into a hurricane.
"My lord, go away."
After Keqing, the surnamed Zhu, stayed, the rest of the guards took Zheng Xinghuai and fled to Zheng Mansion.
The horse galloped away. Zheng Xinghuai finally turned his head and saw thousands of soldiers bow and shoot vigorously, arrows piercing the people's body; saw the soldiers wield their sabers, beheading a mother who was fleeing with her child; seeing Que Yongxiu standing high on horseback, one-eyed indifferent Watching it all.
Life is like grass.
Beast... Xu Qi'an heard what he said, and couldn't tell whether it was his own, Li Miaozhen, or Zheng Xinghuai.
The soldiers along the way ignored them, repeating the work of escorting the people mechanically and numbly, driving them to the designated place.
Zheng Xinghuai knew what kind of outcome these people would face, and ordered the guards to rescue them several times, but the guards refused, and escorted Zheng Xinghuai back to the residence.
"I'm going to the guards in the assembly mansion, you quickly inform the lady and the young masters, now go out of the city immediately, we will kill." Li Han who carried the horn bow roared.
Soon, the guards of the mansion gathered in the front yard, except for weapons and armor, they did not carry any softness.
"Father, daddy...what's wrong, did the barbarian come in."
The second son of Zheng ran out with the female relatives, his face was pale, and there was fear in his eyes.
"The soldiers in the city mutated and slaughtered the people. We were among them, and we hurried out of the city." Zheng Xinghuai said shortly.
Until this time, Zheng Xinghuai was at a loss. He didn't know why Que Yongxiu and King Zhenbei organized the massacre of the people and for what purpose they committed such atrocities.
But the officialdom has been ups and downs for half a lifetime, he knows that this is not the time to explore the truth, the plan for the present is to leave Chuzhou City first and get out of danger.
The second son of Zheng shook his body, almost unable to stand still, his wife actually gave him a hand.
Everyone has long been accustomed to Zheng Er Gongzi's wimpy, including Zheng Xinghuai himself.
Under the protection of the guards, the female family and the child got into the carriage, and everyone rode on horses and galloped toward the gate.
"They are coming." Li Han, who was carrying a horn bow, roared.
Several black robe spies chased after him. They galloped far faster than horses. Li Han turned around and pulled out a strong full bow. With a bang, the arrow whizzed away.
The spies are not weak, avoiding arrows and killing them in no time. They wielded a long knife and fell from the sky, slashing towards the carriage.
"Protect Madam."
Wei Youlong, wearing a purple robe, slashed with a machete, blocking the spy's blade, the air plane exploded, and the carriage creaked as it was about to fall apart.
Both sides hit and ran, and arrived at the gate of the city not long after.
Ahead, hundreds of soldiers with perseverance were waiting early, and more soldiers were waiting on the wall.
the commander, the guardian Que Yongxiu stood on horseback, looking at the people trying to escape the city, with a sneer: "Master Zheng, you can't escape.
"There are not only elite soldiers on the city wall, but also masters of the Tianzi level carefully trained by Zhenbei King. No one can escape."
Those who can't run out, the city gate is closed, and there are troops and masters standing on guard, the barbarian army may not be able to attack...Xu Qi'an sinks in his heart.
He was immersed in the scene, suffering and anxiety in his heart. Reason told him that people like the Zheng family could not escape...
Chief Minister Zheng strangled the horse's rein and asked, "Que Yongxiu, what do you want to do? You have to rebel."
Que Yongxiu grinned and said, "Kill you ants, why do you need to rebel?"
His one-eyed gleams fiercely, he is cruel and indifferent, he raised his spear and shouted, "Kill!"
There are wolves in front and tigers behind, and the situation instantly becomes critical. The guards tried their best to protect Chief Minister Zheng and his family members, but between life and death, they tried their best to take care of so many ordinary people without the power to restrain them.
After a round of rush, the carriage overturned, and the female family was hacked to death. Que Yong's long spear provoked Zheng Xinghuai's little grandson and laughed wildly:
"Master Zheng, you call yourself an upright official and celebrity. You don’t rub the sand in your eyes. The year before last, regardless of King Huai’s face, you strictly investigated the army field case and killed my three powerful men on the grounds of occupying army fields. ?
"I killed your offspring, it's a courtesy exchange. I'll pick it up."
He shook his hand and threw the child's corpse towards the Chief Minister Zheng, but this was a pretense. In the negligence of Zheng Xinghuai's subconsciously reaching out to pick it up, Que Yongxiu threw his spear.
The spear penetrated the body and nailed the person to the ground.
But it was not Zheng Xinghuai who died, but the dude who was afraid of death.
Second Young Master Zheng, this dude who is afraid of death, raised his pale face, choked up and said: "Father, I am so painful, I, I am so afraid..."
He is still that useless dude. He has already married and started a business, but he still cries to his father.
But this greedy and fearful useless waste, but pushed his father away at a critical moment and blocked the spear with his body, without blinking his eyes.
He is afraid of his father, he is only committed, but in his heart, his father should be the sky above his head, more important than anything else.
Xu Qi'an suddenly felt the tears blur his vision, and his eyes were burning. He subconsciously wanted to reach out his hand to wipe the tears. Only then did he think that he was just a bystander, and the person who really shed tears was Zheng Xinghuai.
The empathy ends here, the picture is fragmented, and Xu Qi'an's eyes finally freeze, it is Que Yongxiu's grim smile.
..........
He suddenly woke up, opened his eyes, and heard the voice of Zheng Xinghuai crying, so clearly recalling the scene of his family's tragic death, which caused Zheng Buzheng's emotional breakdown and the empathy ended early.
The cries went from intense and high-pitched to low-pitched wailing. After a long time, Zheng Xinghuai's sleeves carefully dried his tears, his eyes were flushed, and he arched his hands:
"The official has lost his temper."
"Sorry."
Xu Qi'an clasped his fists in return, exhaling a long breath, and said, "What happened later?"
Li Han, who carried a hard bow, said in a deep voice: "We sacrificed two fourth-ranks before we went out of the city, and then we hid in Tibet, secretly contacting the chivalrous men, trying to expose the plot of the king of the north."
Therefore, except for Zheng Xinghuai, all his family members died in Chuzhou City... Xu Qi'an glanced at everyone and whispered: "I'll go out and be quiet."
The air here is extremely dull, and the carbon dioxide produced by the bonfire is extremely uncomfortable. Xu Qi'an is actually a little tight in his chest.
Ignoring the expressions of the people, he turned and walked to the entrance of the cave, pushed aside the blocking branches, and walked out.
He stood in the valley, breathing in the cool air, only to realize that chest tightness had nothing to do with the air. It was because of depression, difficulty in vomiting, and difficulty in feeling.
The sound of soft footsteps came from behind.
"I'm going to Chuzhou City." Li Miaozhen whispered.
The big hatred is silent, there is no joy or anger on her calm face, and her eyes are full of determination.
"I'm going to visit Chuzhou City. Anger will only overwhelm our reason. Before we go, we will sort out our thinking and revisit the case of the Three Thousand Miles of Blood Slaughter." Xu Qi'an broke off a dead branch and bit it in his mouth. :
"The king of Zhenbei slaughtered the city for the purpose of refining the essence and blood and attacking the second grade, but it took time to refining the essence and blood, so he chose to slaughter the city of Chuzhou, hiding everyone with the inertia of thinking in the dark under the light.
"I intercepted and killed the secret agent of Zhenbei King before and asked the soul about the situation. The agent did not know where the Zhenbei King slaughtered the people, but from the memories of political envoy Zheng, there were many soldiers and secret agents involved in the slaughter."
Li Miaozhen frowned and said, "You mean that those soldiers and spies are very likely to have their memories modified."
Xu Qi'an nodded: "It's also possible that they don't know what they have done. No matter what, they can't be done by Wufu. Therefore, Zhenbei King still has helpers, and the top powers of other systems are helping him.
"That strong man is even capable of restoring Chuzhou City to "the original", but I am not sure which system it is. The northern border has been infiltrated by many barbarians, and they are investigating this matter, and the king of Zhenbei must know about it. He will either terminate the refinement Blood, or just being confident. In this way, with our strength, it is difficult to make a difference.
"Miaozhen, I need you to pass the news, to the barbarians, to the monsters."
Li Miaozhen nodded. She can fly with a sword, which is very suitable for sending messages.
Xu Qi'an greeted her gaze and said, "I am here to protect Master Zheng. When you come back, I will go to Chuzhou City together."
Li Miaozhen was relieved: "Be sure to wait for me."
"It's not too late, go quickly."
"it is good."
Li Miaozhen summoned Feijian, leaped up to the spine of the sword gracefully, and she stood floating in the air.
Xu Qi'an returned to the mountain cave, Zheng Buzheng envoy and others looked over, and he said solemnly: "Master Zheng, everyone, you are waiting for my news here."
Chief Minister Zheng seemed to be aware of something, and hurriedly asked: "What are you going to do?"
"Go to Chuzhou and investigate the case."
There is nothing wrong with this, the Chief Minister Zheng and the others nodded slightly.
Xu Qi'an glanced over them, and said: "Several knights protect Master Zheng, and they will never leave. I admire you. There are heroes like you in the world that make people feel interesting and yearning.
"Xu promises you that the murderer will be severely punished and the people of Chuzhou will be fair."
Zheng Xinghuai got up and put his hands together: "In this way, the official will die without regret."
Li Han and others handed over: "Death without regret."
............
After early morning, Xu Qi'an came to a small county and looked for the best inn there.
paid for the silver, asked Xiao Er for a bucket of water, Xu Qi'an closed the door, took out the fragments of the ground book, shook her hand, and the sleeping princess rolled down on the soft bed.
"Wake up..."
Xu Qi'an patted her cheek lightly, and suddenly remembered that this woman had been infused with ecstasy by herself, and immediately crossed the aspirator to forcibly wake her up.
Princess opened her eyes while whispering, and her dilated pupils slowly returned to focus. She looked at Xu Qi'an blankly for a few seconds, her face suddenly stiffened, and she shrank to the foot of the bed like a bunny.
While examining himself, he turned his head around and shouted, "What did you do to me?!"
The eyes are wide and round, and he makes a fierce posture, but it feels nasty.
Xu Qi'an wanted to laugh when she saw her, and unconsciously, she shrugged and said, "I didn't do anything to you, just let you sleep."
"I don't believe it, if you stun me, you must have done something wrong with me." She aired.
You are still a young woman anyway, wouldn’t you judge whether your child’s bedroom was broken into by a gangster.........Xu Qi’an complained inwardly and said lightly:
"I'll go out for a while, you can check it yourself."
He waited at the door for a while, until the soft voice of the young princess came from inside: "The surname Xu?"
Xu Qi'an pushed the door and entered.
The princess sat on the dressing table and combed her hair, turned her head sideways, and glared at him from the corner of her light, "You are okay to knock me out."
continued to stare at herself in the mirror, combing her hair intently.
It seems that he is still a complete melon, and his anger has disappeared a lot.
Xu Qi'an lifted the wooden barrel, poured water into the copper basin, and added a bottle of red potion. He buried his entire face in, rubbing and rubbing constantly.
About a quarter of an hour later, Xu Qi'an got hot, and when he raised his face again, he changed.
This man is so handsome that it alarms the party and is ashamed of Gu Tianle. He is the only beautiful man in the world... Xu Qi'an thinks so.
He pushed the princess away, looked at the familiar face in the mirror, and lost his senses.
After a while, he murmured: "It's been a long time..."
The princess looked at him and nodded slowly: "Who are you who are disguised? Such a plain appearance is very suitable for lurking."
After finishing speaking, she saw Xu Qi'an squint at herself with a murderous look.
What do you know is handsome? Xu Qi'an didn't go to see the princess who had walked around in the hell, and said lightly: "I went to investigate the case, it is not convenient to take you with me, so I made the next move."
After a pause, he said solemnly: "The city of Chuzhou is the city of Zhenbei King."
Click!
The wooden comb fell on the ground, and the princess came back to her senses, her face intertwined with horror and sorrow, she unconsciously lowered her voice: "Chu, Chuzhou City?"
No matter who it is, I don’t believe it at first sight.
Princess is no exception.
Xu Qi'an briefly described Zheng Xinghuai's affairs.
The princess murmured: "Although I don't like him, I hate them that the brothers treat me as a commodity transaction, but I still admire him in my heart. He is the first person in the martial arts, majestic and brilliant. The people guarded the border for more than ten years...
"I was wrong, he was a selfish person. He guarded the border, not for the people, just because Dafeng belonged to their family and no outsiders were allowed to looting.
"Similarly, in their eyes, the people are also goods, which can be traded and sacrificed, and when they need it, they can sacrifice without hesitation."
She knew that the king of Zhenbei had slaughtered the people, but she couldn't help herself when she heard Xu Qi'an talk about the process of massacre.
Zhenbei King’s atrocities cannot be forgiven, and the protector of the country Que Yongxiu deserves a thousand cuts. However, he is a third-rank martial artist and a prince of Dafeng. Who can punish him?
Who can make him plead guilty?
At this time, she heard Xu Qi'an say: "I'm leaving for a few days. You stay in the inn, don't go anywhere."
Talking, Xu Qi'an put the fragments of the ground book on the table, "You help me keep it for a few days."
Once the monk Shenshu let go of his fists, all the things on his body are at risk of losing, including clothes.
The fragments of the ground book are very important. He didn't want the princess to see it. The best plan is to give it to Li Miaozhen, but the princess is still sleeping in it. She is not an object, so it is impossible to stay in the ground book.
In order to prevent Dafeng's first beauty from dying without food, he can only make this move. Fortunately, the princess was a silly girl with little knowledge. To her, the fragments of the ground book might be just a small hand-crafted mirror.
Princess did not look at the little jade mirror, staring at him: "Where are you going?"
At this moment, Xu Qi'an flashed through the people who fell like weeds, flashed past the scholar who was pierced by the knife in his chest, flashed across the mother who was holding the child and fleeing, but the mother who was killed and the child flashed across the child who was provoked by gun Tong, pass the second son Zheng who was nailed to the ground...
"I said, I'm going to punish King Zhenbei, he is not worthy of the blood. I want him, and the protector of the country, Que Yongxiu to pay the price."
Xu Qi'an looked at her calmly, with no joy or anger on his face, but his eyes were extremely firm: "I'm going to Chuzhou."
Princess looked into his eyes and knew that she could not stop this man. She bit her lip and whispered: "You want to come back, you, you promise me."
"it is good."
Xu Qi'an nodded, got up and walked towards the door.
"Xu Qi'an."
She shouted, seemingly uneasy, got up in a rush and knocked over the stool, chased it out a few steps, and summoned her courage:
"Young chivalrous spirit, making friends with Wudu Xiong. Hepatobiliary, hair towering. In the middle of the conversation, life and death are the same.
A promise is worth a lot of money, so you must come back.
...........
Tuo Tianshan.
The horn "Woo" played.
Twenty thousand elite cavalrymen of the Qingyan tribe assembled on the plain at the foot of the mountain. They rode first-born single-horned, scaly-covered horses, brandishing machetes.
From the sound of the horn, looking at the majestic palace.
Boom, boom, boom...
The sound of heavy footsteps came from a distance, and the two-foot-tall blue giant stepped out of the palace. Each foot caused a slight tremor. He was dragging a huge sword that ordinary people could not use, and dragged it deep on the ground. The gully.
The cavalry of the Qingyan Department watched their leader silently. The scene was silent, except for heavy footsteps.
The cyan giant raised his heavy giant sword and roared Shen Shen, "In Chuzhou City."
"In Chuzhou City."
"In Chuzhou City."
The blue-faced cavalry raised their scimitars, waved them, and roared ~EbookFREE.me~A black mountain in the north, a cloud-filled valley.
The white warlock with a vague face stood on the edge of the cliff, looking down. The valley was surrounded by dense fog that never dissipated. There was no grass and no life.
"Candle Nine."
As the white warlock's voice fell, the thick mist suddenly boiled, like a woman's dancing veil.
In the layers of mist, a black shadow rushed forward and stopped in front of the white warlock.
The dense fog dispersed, it was a huge snake head, red, scaleless, and a closed one-eyed forehead.
Its high-supported body is as high as a mountain, and the white warlock is as small as an ant in front of it.
Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a and demon who ruled the extreme cold of the north, with single eyes, scaleless and crimson, open eyes for day, closed eyes for night.
The leader of the northern monster clan, Zhu Jiu, is the descendant of that and demon.
"In Chuzhou City." The white warlock laughed.
The vertical eyes of the giant snake's forehead suddenly opened, and a golden light burst through the sky, which could be seen dozens of miles away.
.........
On the steep cliff, the old Panasonic, the charming charming woman stretched out her hand, her sleeves slipped, revealing her white lotus arms.
The black eagle hovering in the sky swooped down and landed on the woman's lotus arm, spitting out, "That person has news. It is in Chuzhou City."
The beautiful woman in white skirt fluttering Yan Ran said: "It seems that he not only wants blood, but also wants the life of Zhenbei King. Send my order, all the enchanting soldiers, attack Chuzhou City."
