The light of the sword is like the moon reflecting on Kyushu

Chapter 1799 The past is like smoke

Shuanglong Ridge looks like two dragons playing with a pearl, and can be said to be a Feng Shui treasure land.

There is a strange rock protruding on the main peak. It is almost round in shape and looks very much like a big pearl. It truly has both form and spirit.

A stone staircase stretches for several miles, winding and undulating, leading straight to the top. There are huge stone carvings on the mountain walls along the road from time to time. They are all handwritings left by celebrities from past dynasties, and the local government hired master craftsmen to carve and leave marks for commemoration. Logically speaking, if the emperor did not occupy the Feng Shui treasure land of Shuanglongling, it would at least be snatched by dignitaries by all means, and used as a family cemetery, which would surely prosper for future generations.

But as a military stronghold, this place is not suitable, there is almost no strategic location to defend!
There were no soldiers guarding the road, so Feng Jiuxiao drove straight in and soon saw a towering Taoist temple.

There were two men in Western Shu infantry uniforms sitting on the steps at the door, chatting. There was a plate of peanuts, a plate of pig ears, a plate of small hot peppers, a bowl of sauce, and one of them had a pot of wine in his hand.

Hey, it’s quite moisturizing!

Feng Jiuxiao thought to himself: Just looking at the condition of these two people, we can get a glimpse of how poor the combat effectiveness of the entire team is!
He walked slowly up to the two men. The two soldiers clinked their glasses and drank from them. Their faces were flushed and they were drunk. They didn't notice anyone approaching.

Feng Jiuxiao couldn't wait any longer and immediately said, "Hey!"

The two soldiers were startled. Suddenly, they found a young man in white clothes appeared in front of them silently. They were almost scared to death! They jumped up like frightened rabbits and drew their long swords at their waists and pointed them at Feng Jiuxiao! The soldier on the left shouted angrily, "Who are you?" The soldier on the right shouted, "How did you get up here?"

Feng Jiuxiao said, "Put down your swords, don't get excited, I walked up here." He motioned for the two to put down their swords, "I have answered your questions, it's my turn to ask you."

The bandit on the left suddenly swung his sword and slashed at Feng Jiuxiao, "Ask your grandma a bear!" He didn't realize it until someone touched him. This was a serious dereliction of duty! He couldn't let the superiors in the hall know about this! Strike first and kill to silence the witness! He thought that his sneak attack was sudden and the opponent would definitely be unable to defend himself. Unexpectedly, his long sword could not be chopped down after half of it was chopped. It seemed that an invisible steel hoop locked his long sword and he could not swing it any further!

Feng Jiuxiao said, "My patience is limited. I will give you one more chance. I will start asking questions." Suddenly, a knife flashed, and the soldier on the right suddenly stabbed over with a knife! The soldier took advantage of the moment when Feng Jiuxiao was distracted and attacked him. He thought that this knife would be able to pierce the opponent through!
As a result, before the knife was thrust out, his eyebrows became hot, and blood rushed to his head. His limbs, bones, and internal organs seemed to be drained out. Before he could react, he saw a stream of blood gushing out from his forehead! This strange scene frightened him instantly. He instinctively wanted to touch his forehead, but found that his limbs were out of control. Then he found that his companions looked at him with inexplicable fear!
what happened?

Everything happened in a flash. Before he could react, he felt a sudden and severe pain in his head and lost consciousness.

He was dead, so naturally he lost consciousness.

He didn't know how he died until he died.

But his companion saw it clearly!

He was killed by a blast with his head shattered!

His head exploded into a ball of blood!
This horrifying scene made the soldier on the left vomit!
I vomited out all the peanuts, pig ears and chili peppers I had just eaten!
The air was filled with the stench of decay and alcohol. Fortunately, Feng Jiuxiao had already held his breath, otherwise he would have vomited!

The soldier on the left was gasping for breath. Feng Jiuxiao asked, "Can you still speak?"

The soldier kept vomiting and ignored Feng Jiuxiao.

Feng Jiuxiao sighed, "I gave you a chance but you didn't live up to it. Okay, since you are in so much pain, let me help you."

The soldier was relieved, thinking that the other party would help him solve the problem of vomiting. Unexpectedly, the other party pointed at him in the air, and his temple suddenly hurt, as if an arrow had pierced his head! He stopped vomiting instantly and stared at Feng Jiuxiao blankly!
Feng Jiuxiao said: "I knew you were pretending to vomit! From the moment you attacked me with that knife just now, you were already dead! I gave you two chances, but you didn't want them. So don't blame me!" He turned around and walked straight into the hall.

There was a plaque hanging above the door of the main hall, with the words "Baiyun Temple" written on it.

When he entered the main hall, he saw that the statues of the Three Pure Ones and the Four Emperors were enshrined inside. There was no one in the hall. He did not stop and went straight to the back hall.

The rear hall is the Jade Emperor Hall. In front of the hall, smoke is rising from a huge copper stove, and it seems that someone has just offered incense.

There was some movement in the Jade Emperor Hall. It seemed that quite a few people were discussing something.

He walked quickly to the door and heard someone inside say, "Brother, why does something feel wrong?"

A hoarse voice said: "What's wrong?"

"Didn't our first sentry send back a message saying that three carriages were going to pass by the foot of the mountain?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Just now, my brother down the mountain sent a message saying that the troika has not been found yet!"

"Maybe they walk too slowly!"

"Not slow!"

"Huh? How do you know they're not slow?"

"When the three carriages just passed our first sentry post, a group of people followed behind them. There were about a dozen people on horseback. According to the sentry's judgment, they must have also set their sights on the three carriages."

"It seems like he is a fat sheep, and many people are eyeing him. What next?"

"Then the carriage didn't arrive, and the dozen or so robbers didn't arrive either."

"Isn't this normal? The bandits robbed the troika, and a fight broke out between the two sides, which delayed us. What's wrong with that? The dozen bandits will surely show up soon. We can use horse traps and rocket arrays to deal with them. Let them be happy for a while."

Another voice echoed, "That's right, let them have some fun first, and then we'll wait and see and make them pay back everything with interest!"

Another unfamiliar voice said, "That's right, why are you in such a hurry? Stay calm."

The voice at the beginning said: "I still think there is something wrong! I always feel that my eyelids are twitching a lot!"

"Big Brother" was obviously displeased, "Shut up! Once tonight is over, we will all go down the mountain tomorrow and go to Zhougong River to watch the dragon boat race!"

"Brother, there are notices everywhere at the foot of the mountain. We are worth one thousand taels per head!"

"What are you afraid of? That's all a trick! Why don't we just disguise ourselves when the time comes? One thousand taels is not a small amount, but compared to those millions, it's nothing." "Brother, you are wise!"

Feng Jiuxiao was certain that the big brother must be Guo Kai. These mobs valued reputation the most and would never allow a second "big brother" to coexist!
He stepped directly into the Great Jade Emperor Hall and saw more than 20 Shu soldiers sitting on the ground. He recognized Guo Kai at a glance. There was only one man wearing a military officer's light armor. If he wasn't Guo Kai, who could he be?

Guo Kai suddenly saw a man coming in from the palace gate. He was dressed in white like snow and walked straight towards him. His instinct told him that the man in white was extremely dangerous. He immediately stood up and took several steps back. At the same time, he had already drawn his sword, "Brothers, stop him!"

The soldiers and bandits then noticed that a young man in white had walked up to them. They were startled and immediately jumped up, drew their swords and surrounded Feng Jiuxiao!

Feng Jiuxiao stretched out his hand and grabbed Guo Kai through the air!

Everyone was shocked to see Guo Kai's feet left the ground and being pulled over like a kite!
What kind of magic is this?
What kind of monster is this kid?
Before everyone could come to their senses, Feng Jiuxiao said: "I ask questions and you answer them. As long as I am not satisfied, I will immediately make sure your death is torn into pieces!" What he meant was that your death is inevitable, but there are many kinds of death. If you don't cooperate, I will give you the most tragic one!
But Guo Kai was so nervous that he thought the other party meant that as long as he cooperated, he would live, and if he didn't cooperate, he would die. Of course he had to cooperate!

He nodded repeatedly in fear! His whole body was stiff, but fortunately his head could still move! He was so scared that his soul flew away! The young man just waved his hand lightly, and he was like being entangled by invisible ropes, like a zongzi. What kind of magic was this? Facing such a monster, how could he dare to resist?

Feng Jiuxiao asked: "Are you deserters?"

Guo Kai said: "No! Ah... yes!"

Feng Jiuxiao's eyes flashed fiercely, and he said: "I'll give you one more chance, answer it well!"

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Guo Kai's face was already sweating, and the Shu soldiers next to him were so scared that they dared not breathe, and no one dared to escape! The gap between the two sides was too big! Even if the gap was smaller, they would have the courage to escape!
Guo Kai said in a trembling voice: "We are not deserters... We pretend to be deserters just to hide our tracks!"

Feng Jiuxiao asked: "Whose idea was this?"

Guo Kai felt that the other party knew everything and was asking him just to verify it. He immediately told him everything.

Before the Great Shu Dynasty surrendered to the Song Dynasty, there were two major families that had been fighting openly and secretly, one was the Du family and the other was the Zhang family.

The two families fought for power in the court and for profit among the people, and the fight was fierce.

The world is in chaos now, and taking advantage of the change of dynasties, the Zhang family found Guo Kai and asked them to pretend to be bandits and massacre the Du family!
The reason why they found Guo Kai was because the Guo family had received great favors from the Zhang family for generations!

The Zhang family meant to root out the problem, but they missed out on Young Master Du, who was working at the imperial court! It was clearly planned that Young Master Du would go home to visit his parents that day, but Song General Wang Quanbin suddenly summoned him, so he had to return to Chengdu in advance, and he escaped!
There are orders from above, and countermeasures from above. The Zhang family wanted to leave no one alive, but Guo Kai was immediately tempted by the beautiful young women and took them away on a whim.

Although Master Du advised the court to hold the Zhang family accountable, the Shu Emperor had abdicated at that time, and the one in power was Wang Quanbin of the Song Dynasty. Wang Quanbin's main idea now was to stabilize the people's hearts, so how could he care about the private grudges between the two families? He just followed the procedures and asked the Dali Temple and other government offices to cooperate in the investigation. However, these people had complicated relationships with the Zhang family, and they all knew the grievances behind the two families. Especially at this time, the Zhang family had climbed up to the relationship with General Wang, and the momentum was strong. Master Du was already alone and weak. Who dared to offend the Zhang family to really investigate the murder? He could only bluff! Forced Master Du to publicly offer a reward for catching the bandits and saving the women! Although Master Du vaguely knew that the Zhang family was behind it, he had no idea where the bandits came from. Even if he knew that it was some Shu soldiers, he only knew that they were some deserters, and there was no way to trace them back to the Zhang family!

Feng Jiuxiao said, "You guys are going down the mountain tomorrow to grab the gambling money for the dragon boat race, right?"

Guo Kai immediately said: "Yes!"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Where are the women? Bring them out!"

Guo Kai immediately said: "Quick, let them out!"

At this time, Zeng Yong was looking coldly at the dozen or so corpses lying on the ground at the foot of the mountain, and said grimly: "Damn it, not only did you peek at my woman, but you also dared to follow me and rob me!"

Erni didn't dare to get out of the car. She only heard a few curses outside and then there was no movement. She thought Zeng Yong killed everyone. When Feng Jiuxiao came out of Taibai Restaurant, he said that some people seemed to be chasing after them. It seemed that they were them. In the past, she might feel uncomfortable because Zeng Yong killed people, but now she has figured it out. If Zeng Yong didn't kill these people, then these people would definitely not be polite to them. They would definitely kill Zeng Yong first, and then take her and her sisters away. Then you don't have to guess what will happen next! So just kill these people, at least there will be fewer troubles in this world!

Yuan Zishan watched Zeng Yong cursing from a distance and whispered, "We have more than a dozen horses!"

Chang Zijin said, "We don't need that many. We can keep three horses and have two horses drive each carriage. This way it will be fast and stable. As for the rest, we can sell them."

Yuan Zishan said: "Well, then sell it at the next market."

La Jiao was looking at the bird on the tree. At this time, she turned around and asked, "Miss, what are you selling?"

Yuan Zishan smiled and said, "Sell you."

Chili immediately said coquettishly: "Miss, you bully me again!"

Yuan Zishan laughed and said, "Oh, you're kidding. Sell those horses at the next market."

La Jiao asked, "What horses? Hey, why are there so many horses over there? Hey? Brother Zeng, did you just... did you kill someone? Why didn't I hear anything?"

Chang Zijin teased, "You were so engrossed just now that you didn't notice anything outside! You were so focused on what you saw?"

La Jiao said, "Sister Chang, look," she pointed to a small bird standing on a treetop in the distance, "that bird looks like a parrot, but its entire body is covered with blue feathers. It's really beautiful!"

Chang Zijin followed La Jiao's gaze and found a small bird with blue feathers standing on the top of a branch of an ancient tree ten feet away among the swaying shadows of the trees. The bird really looked like a parrot, probably a certain species of parrot, extremely rare, with gorgeous blue feathers.

Chili said: "It would be great if we could catch him."

Chang Zijin said: "I'll catch it for you!"

Yuan Zishan said, "It's not good. It has lived freely in this world since it was young. You suddenly trapped it in a cage. Although you feel comfortable, it has lost its freedom for a lifetime. Do you think it's good, Chili?"

Chili was shocked!
"Freedom for a lifetime? Not good!" She immediately said firmly! She understood the meaning of freedom best! Growing up in the Lian family, she had heard and witnessed countless human tragedies. If she hadn't met Miss Yuan by chance, she probably wouldn't know what would happen to her now! If the Lian family hadn't been destroyed, she would have been a slave in the Lian family! The Lian Mansion is a cage! Birds in cages only eat and sleep, but it's not the same for slaves like them. They can't eat well, sleep well, and have to serve their masters at any time! She often heard Master Lian chatting with his friends, and she realized that the lives of some maids in this world are so miserable! The old man in Fu Shaoan's and Wan Rence's family actually used beauty bowls and beauty paper. At first, she didn't know what beauty bowls and beauty paper were, but later she found out! Just thinking about it makes people sick, chilled, and indignant! I wish I could kill those old men immediately!
Chang Zijin originally wanted to say a few words of objection, telling La Jiao not to think so much. There are so many people raising birds in the world, and if you don’t catch them, someone else will. They won’t be truly free just by letting go!

But when she saw tears in Lajiao's eyes, she was suddenly frightened, knowing that Lajiao was thinking about the sad past, so she didn't dare to mention the bird catching matter again.

La Jiao stared blankly at the blue-feathered parrot on the treetop, while Chang Zijin looked at La Jiao with concern. Yuan Zishan looked at Chang Zijin and La Jiao indifferently, but she recalled the first time she met La Jiao at the Lian family. At that time, she was ten years old and La Jiao was eight years old. The two people had different statuses, but they hit it off at first sight. Later, the Lian family asked La Jiao to help the Yuan Mansion. In name, La Jiao was still a servant of the Lian family, but in fact, she had been with Yuan Zishan until today. The two had already been like sisters. Yuan Zishan sighed secretly, this silly girl, she was thinking of those things in her childhood again. Although she had not suffered much, she had seen the suffering of her little sisters with her own eyes!
The three women stood quietly at the edge of the woods, not moving.

Thank you Yudong for your strong support and encouragement.
