A knife in love

Chapter 749

Ever since Gao Lishi ran away when encountering the enemy, everyone despised him extremely.Hearing his trembling voice at this moment, it was obvious that he was extremely frightened.So everyone secretly laughed at this person as cowardly and useless.But seeing Gao Lishi's right hand pointing out of the courtyard, several people also turned their heads to look.Just looking at it, but also startled.Li Xu, grandson Guangming, and Su Yan drew their long swords and looked out of the courtyard in horror.

I saw a figure appearing tens of feet away, running towards here.Although the distance is a bit far away, some people can't see clearly, but it can be seen that this person is wearing armor, which is the same as the skeleton sergeant that everyone has seen before.

Everyone didn't expect the skeleton sergeant to arrive as soon as he said it, everyone's face turned pale with shock, and they drew their swords and weapons one after another.Everyone is a generation of martial arts masters, and they are used to seeing vendettas and fights in the rivers and lakes, but at this moment their hearts are filled with panic.

In a short while, the figure ran closer to more than ten feet.Everyone found that this person was very bloated, and he was quite clumsy when he moved.Besides this figure, there were no other skeleton soldiers around.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, wondering and wondering.Cao Bin looked far into the distance, and could vaguely see the hill that everyone passed through when they came to the basin.As far as I could see, there was no other figure except the sergeant in front of me.Cao Bin said: "The skeleton soldiers we saw before all appeared in groups, why is there a single skeleton soldier here? This is really strange."

Everyone was terrified at first, but they were relieved when they saw that there was only one skeleton soldier.Yang Yansi was gearing up even more, just waiting for the skeleton soldier to run in front of him, he rushed forward and smashed the skeleton soldier into pieces.

After a while, the figure had arrived not far outside the courtyard.Only then did everyone realize that there was another person on that person's back, which is why he looked so bloated.I saw that the man's hair was disheveled, his face was covered with blood, sweat and mud, and he looked extremely embarrassed.The armor he was wearing was also damaged in several places, revealing the bright red clothes inside the armor.

The person lying behind him was lying on his body limply, his head was hanging on his shoulders, and his hair was hanging down in a mess, so he couldn't see his face clearly.It's just that you can see that the man's back is full of feather arrows, and he doesn't know if he is dead or alive.

The sergeant rushed into the yard, and when he saw everyone looking at him in astonishment, he was also taken aback.I saw that he couldn't keep opening and closing his mouth, and he seemed to be talking, but everyone was listening, but they couldn't hear what he was saying.

The sergeant talked for a long time, but seeing that no one answered, he rushed to the house in a hurry.Everyone was terrified, seeing him rushing into the house, but no one stepped forward to stop him.It wasn't until the man rushed into the room that everyone looked at each other with incredible expressions on their faces.

After a while, Yang Yanzhao said in a trembling voice: "The armor on this man is the same as that on the skeleton at the foot of the bed in the room..."

Li Qiufeng didn't expect Yang Yanzhao to be so careful, and his heart shuddered, thinking carefully about the sergeant's attire, it was indeed as Yang Yanzhao said.His heart skipped a beat and he was about to speak when he heard Cao Bin say, "Young Master Yang is right. But have you noticed the man behind him?"

Yang Yanzhao's face was pale, as if he saw something terrible, the muscles on his face twitched a few times, and after a while he said in a trembling voice: "That man's armor is exactly the same as that of Zhao Kuo."

Among the crowd, Cao Bin and Yang Yanzhao were the most calm and careful, so only Cao and Yang saw that the armor of the two who rushed into the courtyard was the same as the two skeletons in the house.When everyone heard what the two said, they were all suspicious.Yang Yansi couldn't hold back for a long time, turned around and ran to the house, wanting to rush in to see what happened.Unexpectedly, he turned around and before he could run, he saw a person suddenly walking out of the dark room, which shocked everyone.Yang Yansi, as if the acupoints had been tapped by a martial arts master, raised his right foot slightly, and made a posture of running forward, but his body froze in place, but he didn't dare to move.In normal times, everyone would laugh heartily when they saw his strange appearance.It's just that under the horror at this time, everyone was terrified, but no one laughed at him.

I saw the man walking out of the room bent over and coughing loudly, he was the old man who had been lighting a fire under the stove before.

Seeing the old man suddenly appearing, everyone involuntarily took a few steps back, looked at the skinny old man, and were secretly on guard.

The old man leaned on a wooden stick and slowly raised his head.It was only then that everyone realized that the old man's palms were not only skinny, but also his face was skinny, like a skeleton.The old man's eyes were narrowed, like a blind man.Seeing his appearance, everyone involuntarily took a few steps back.

The old man glanced around slowly, and said in a trembling voice, "There haven't been so many people here for many years. Where did you come from?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but no one answered.

Seeing that no one answered, the old man shook his head and walked to the left on his own. When he came to a firewood pile, he bent down and wanted to pick up some firewood.It's just that the old man was too thin, and when he bent down, he swayed a few times, and he was about to fall to the ground.Although Yang Yansi was rude and seldom, his heart was extremely kind, he rushed up a few steps, stretched out his hand to support him, and said: "Old man, let me get the firewood for you."

After he finished speaking, he put the plain knife on the ground, picked up a large bundle of firewood with both hands, and then turned and walked towards the thatched cottage.The old man tremblingly followed behind Yang Yansi, and said in his mouth: "Thank you. There are fewer and fewer kind-hearted men like you. Those who came before would only ask the old man aggressively where he came from." Get out of here. Some still don’t give up when they leave, thinking about taking something from the house. Alas, young man, good intentions are rewarded.”

When Li Qiufeng and the others heard what the old man said, their hearts trembled.Listening to his tone, it seems that someone has been here before, and asked him the way to escape from here.It's just that those people are violent and rude, not like good people.

Everyone had just seen this old man, but he disappeared in the blink of an eye.Seeing him suddenly reappearing in front of them at this moment, everyone was worried that he would disappear again.So Situ Qiao, Changsun Guangming, and Han Li said almost at the same time: "Old man, how can I get out of here?"

After the three of them finished speaking, they realized that the other two had the same thoughts as themselves, which was quite embarrassing.

The old man glanced at the three of them, shook his head slowly, and said word by word: "There is no road here, otherwise I wouldn't have stayed here for so many years."

When everyone heard what he said, their hearts immediately sank.Some people thought to themselves, is it really necessary to be trapped here and become like this bad old man?If so, I might as well stab myself to death with a sword, so as not to suffer endless pain!

The old man seemed to have seen through everyone's thoughts, and continued: "In the past few years, many people have broken into here like you, and ended up going around in circles. In the end, they either went crazy and jumped off the cliff to die, or they died in a haggard tree. In the loess. Among them, there are many heroes, but they have not found a way out. Now that you are here, don’t think about it. If you have any unfulfilled wishes, you might as well stay. If your family members find you in the future , I can pass it on for you.”

Hearing what he said, everyone panicked even more, and Su Yan even cried "Wow".Changsun Guangming was a little annoyed, but it was not easy to get angry in front of everyone, so he had to stand in front of Su Yan and whispered comforting words.

Han Li's face was pale, and he murmured: "I was at ease in Luoyang, but I was tempted by this formation for a while. I abandoned my family and friends, betrayed the prince's trust, and brought the formation here. The water is empty, this is the retribution of my greed. I have always been conceited, but I made such a big mistake, what face do I have to see my old friends and relatives?!"

He had just finished speaking, but he heard Li Xu say, "What's so small about you? Do you know who I am?"

Han Li looked pale and shook his head.Li Xu looked at Gao Lishi and said, "Master Gao, you naturally know my background, right?"

The corners of Gao Lishi's mouth twitched a few times, and he said in a trembling voice: "You, you are the descendants of Prince Yin..."

Li Xu chuckled, and said, "What kind of bullshit is hiding the crown prince? It was because Li Shimin spent all his time trying to insult my ancestors, so he gave him such a title. My ancestors were the dignified prince Li Jiancheng, who was conferred by Gaozu himself. Prince!"

Everyone didn't expect that this person turned out to be a descendant of Li Jiancheng, and they all turned pale with shock, only then did they understand why Li Xu was so contemptuous of Li Shimin and Li Longji.Think that Li Jiancheng is the eldest son of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan. After Li Yuan proclaimed himself emperor in Chang'an, Li Jiancheng was established as the prince.Later, Qin Wang Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen Change, killed the prince Li Jiancheng and Qi Wang Li Yuanji under the Xuanwumen, and took the crown prince.Moreover, Li Shimin was extremely vicious, killing Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji didn't count, and allowed his generals to slaughter Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji all over the family to eliminate future troubles.Except for Han Li and Gao Lishi, although the rest of the people were not from the Tang Dynasty, they had heard all kinds of rumors about the change of Xuanwu Gate.Unexpectedly, Li Xu, who appeared suddenly, had such a secret life experience.

Li Xu saw the astonishment on the faces of the people, and laughed wildly up to the sky. After a while, his laughter stopped suddenly, and he said to Gao Lishi: "Li Shimin killed my family's ancestors all over the family. He had been on guard for a long time. When he was conquering Dou Jiande, he handed over the son born to a concubine Ji to his confidant and took him out of the mansion for proper settlement. Later, Li Shimin really rebelled, killed his brothers and slaughtered his brothers, and forced his father to give him the throne But he didn't know that Prince Jiancheng still had blood left in the world. After his son grew up, he was bent on revenge. Hehe, hehe. Li Shimin slaughtered his brothers and brothers, forcing Emperor Gaozu to pass the throne to him. But he Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Li Zhi, his sons, were just like him. They fought openly and secretly, and they almost brought about a change in Xuanwumen. In the end, Li Chengqian was abolished, Li Tai was imprisoned, and the throne passed to the most incompetent Li Zhi, so Wu Zetian could have Opportunity to usurp the throne and nearly kill all of Li Shimin's descendants. Haha, to tell the truth, my ancestors fanned the flames and sowed right and wrong among them."
