A knife in love

Chapter 991

While listening to Xu Chengzong's story about the past, Li Qiufeng wondered how what he said had anything to do with the crisis in front of him.Hearing Xu Chengzong's sigh at this time, his heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly thought of the entanglement between the five families of Nie, Lu, Zhao, Du, and Hua in Fengmen Village and Xu's family, and he was thoughtful.

But Xu Chengzong continued to say: "Fei Jun saved Mrs. Huarui. If Song Junbing finds out, it will be a big deal. So when the three old men asked about his origin, he only said that he was a dealer in Shu brocade." Merchants. Because of the war between Song and Shu, the Shu people in the Song Dynasty were strictly checked, and the shops that originally traded with them were closed. They had no choice but to return to Shu, but the war between the two countries stopped. Not to mention that the road to Shu is not very peaceful, and several necessary passes were also blocked by the Song army, making it impossible to return to Shu land for a while. After discussing it with everyone, they had to go to the northern Han country to try their luck.

"The three old men shook their heads repeatedly after hearing this, and said to Fei Jun that before the Great Song Dynasty attacked Shu, in order to prevent the Han Kingdom from taking the opportunity to attack, they deployed heavy troops in the north bordering the Han Kingdom and conducted extremely strict inspections. Fei Jun and others brought Shu Brocade Property, even if it is not robbed by thieves in the green forest, it is extremely dangerous to encounter officers and soldiers. Maybe the officers and soldiers will be falsely accused of being a spy of the Shu Kingdom.

"Fei Jun hesitated after hearing the words of the three old men. He and a dozen or so brothers are not weak in martial arts, so naturally they won't be afraid of the thieves and the small Song army. But the difficulty lies in protecting them." Mrs. Huarui, once there is a mistake, there is no redemption for death.

"An old man saw Fei Jun showing hesitation, so he said to him that Shu Kingdom has been destroyed by Song Dynasty now, but the war has stopped at the beginning, and the control of Shu must be extremely strict. But at most one or two months, the situation will be stable Once you get down, you can freely come and go to Shu. Instead of taking the risk of going north, it is better to find a safe place to settle down temporarily. After the things in Shu subside, it will not be too late to return to Shu.

"Fei Jun heard what the old man said was reasonable, so he thanked the old man. When he was about to turn around and leave, the old man said that they are also from Shu. Because Huang Chao invaded Chang'an, the world was safe. Shu was not spared, and the soldiers were fierce." The war continued. The old man's father and others took the whole family, young and old, and escaped from Shu with four other families. They traveled all the way to Henan. They accidentally found a deserted village in the mountains, which was like a paradise. That's why they settled down. If Fei Jun and the others have nowhere to live, they can temporarily go to that village to avoid disaster.

"After Fei Jun heard this, although he was still a little hesitant in his heart, he thought about it. It would not be easy to send Mrs. Huarui out of the Song Dynasty. It would be better to find a place to live and settle Mrs. Huarui well. Then I went to rescue my sister. The three old men in front of me did not behave like villains, but they were trustworthy people.

"Thinking of this, Fei Jun agreed. Then he asked someone to pick up Mrs. Huarui who was staying there, and then followed the three old men to the village in the mountains."

When Xu Chengzong said this, he glanced at Li Qiufeng and said, "Master Li, you probably know where that village is?"

Li Qiufeng said in a deep voice: "Of course it is Fengmen Village in the west of Xiuwu County."

Xu Chengzong nodded, and said: "That's right. Fei Jun and the others went to Fengmen Village with the three old men. According to the three old men, their ancestors brought people to Fengmen Village and returned to Shu. At that time The land of Shu was in great chaos, and tyrants everywhere led troops to attack. Among them, Wang Jian and his son were the most powerful. In the end, Wang Jian proclaimed himself emperor in Shu, and the country name was Shu. In order to distinguish the Shu Kingdom established by Wang Jian from the Shu Kingdom established by Meng Zhixiang later, It is called Qianshu.

"Although the ancestors of the five families who fled to Fengmen Village had resettled their families in Henan, they still missed their hometown and always wanted to return to Sichuan one day. So they took refuge in Wang Jian and his son and became officials in Shu. Who Thinking of Wang Jian's death, his son Wang Yan succeeded to the throne, extravagant and dissolute, building palaces, traveling around the counties, spending a lot of money, and the people complained. And the empress dowager and concubine in the harem blatantly sold officials and nobles, ministers bribed, and the court of Shu Kingdom was demolishing Rotten.

"Wang Yan was so absurd in Shu, the news spread to the Central Plains, and Li Cunxu, Zhuangzong of the later Tang Dynasty, took the opportunity to attack Shu. Wang Yan sent troops to resist, was defeated by the Tang army, and was finally forced to surrender, and the former Shu was destroyed. Five families in Fengmen Village Unwilling to fail, the ancestors of Wang Yan secretly supported Wang Yan's descendants and wanted to rebuild the Kingdom of Shu. Later, Meng Zhixiang became the governor of Shu, and found that the descendants of Wang Yan were still secretly trying to restore the kingdom, so he sent people around Hunt down. Later Meng Zhixiang and Meng Chang successively became the emperors of Later Shu, and they still did not forget to wipe out these lonely officials of the Wang family. Finally, they killed the last young master of the Wang family in Qianwei, and the Wang family was completely destroyed.

"Although Meng Chang eradicated the Wang clan, he still refused to let go of those who were loyal to the Wang clan. He bought the Shushan faction and asked them to send masters to hunt down and kill the officials who were loyal to the Wu clan. The ancestors of the Wu clan in Fengmen Village were at that time Most of them were killed, and the rest escaped. The Shushan faction has not let go of these people, and is still searching for their traces everywhere. These three old men are the patriarchs of the Zhao, Lu, and Nie families of the five families. He was doing business in Luoyang City, but he was discovered by the Shushan faction on the way, and he was besieged by [-] or [-] masters. If Fei Jun happened to pass by, and the Shushan faction wanted to capture the three of them and force them to ask about the hiding place of the five families, I'm afraid that the three of them would have died in the hands of the Shushan faction long ago.

"Fei Jun listened to the details of the three old men, and then he realized that the three of them had extraordinary backgrounds, and he was quite moved. The three old men brought Fei Jun and his party back to Fengmen Village. Fei Jun did not expect to be in the mountains. , there is such a natural danger. Even if there are thousands of troops, it is not easy to break into the village. Fei Jun is very lucky. After Mrs. Huarui and his brothers are settled, he will Go down the mountain to rescue Fei Gong'e.

"Because the matter is confidential, he did not explain his intention to go down the mountain to the heads of the five families of Fengmen Village. He only said that there are still some things left in Luoyang and must be retrieved as soon as possible. Before Fei Jun went down the mountain, he repeatedly told those who stayed in Fengmen Village Brother, you have to be careful, don't be careless. Even if there is something, you have to wait for him to come back.

"After Fei Jun went down the mountain, he went straight to Bianjing. Xiaoxing stayed overnight along the way, bought another horse on the way, and arrived in Bianjing in less than four days. Who would have thought that he had just entered the city, and he heard that he had left the capital city. Something big happened. Meng Chang, the last emperor of Shu Kingdom, died suddenly last night. Fei Jun was dumbfounded when he heard the news, and hurriedly asked people what happened.

"It turned out that after Meng Chang was escorted to Bianjing, Zhao Kuangyin did not embarrass him. When Meng Chang was entertained at the banquet, he never mentioned the crusade against the Kingdom of Shu. On the second day after Meng Chang arrived in Bianjing, Zhao Kuangyin ordered him to be the inspector. Grand Master and Zhongshu Ling, bestowed upon Lord Qin the Duke of Qin. Who would have thought that seven days later, that is, last night, Meng Chang suddenly suffered from a severe illness, with unbearable abdominal pain, and died after tossing for more than an hour. The news spread early in the morning Some people say that the Emperor Song gave a banquet yesterday and poisoned Meng Chang in the wine. Others say that Zhao Guangyi, the king of Jin, sent someone to give Meng Chang a jug of wine, which contained a very powerful poison called ' "Qianjiyin'. People who are poisoned by this poison will burn their internal organs and suffer extremely. Moreover, the poisoned person's whole body is twisted, like a loom hanging upside down, so it is called "Qianjiyin". After Meng Chang drank, he howled all night , It was not until dawn that he swallowed his breath.

"Fei Jun was terrified when he heard what everyone said. Whether Meng Chang is dead or alive has nothing to do with him. But my younger sister pretended to be Mrs. Huarui and followed Meng Chang. If Meng Chang was poisoned to death, my younger sister would probably be in trouble." I was spared. Fei Jun asked the people about the whereabouts of the concubines in Meng Chang's palace. Some said that the concubines saw Meng Chang dead and were worried that they would be humiliated. Some hanged themselves, some took poison, and some jumped into the pond to drown themselves. Tolerance said that overnight, more than 30 people died in Meng Chang's Duke of Qin's mansion.

"Fei Jun was so anxious that he sneaked into Duke Qin's mansion that night. He saw that there were indeed more than 30 corpses in the yard, and each corpse was covered with only a piece of white cloth. Fei Jun endured his grief and inspected these corpses one by one. Sure enough, he found He killed his sister Fei Gong'e. Her face was as white as paper, her eyes were not closed, her tongue was sticking out, and there was a deep strangle mark on her neck. She probably hanged herself to death. Seeing this tragic situation, Fei Jun's heart ached. He stole Fei Gong'e's body first, and buried it in a secret place outside the city. He had a great sleep the next day, and he didn't eat enough until late in the evening, and then went straight to The imperial palace wants to kill Zhao Kuangyin and avenge Fei Gong'e!"
