Chapter 212

Between the mountains and fields, countless army soldiers and black government officers raised their eyes to look at the scene on the cliff.

Dongfang Liren stood behind the guards holding a large shield with their hands behind their backs, and the generals of the Zezhou soldiers and horses stood beside him and flattered:

"If the prince hadn't sent Lord Ye to accompany the army to help me out on this trip, how could such a group of rough people catch up to this place in just a few days..."

After waiting for a while, there was movement above the silent mountain.

King Wu, who was at the end of the road, did not muster up the courage to commit suicide after all, and he had no face to go out and bow his knees to plead guilty in public.

The four accompanying guards had more backbone than King Wu, they knew that there was no chance of survival, and they didn't want to be humiliated as prisoners, so after Ye Jingtang entered the cave, they directly killed themselves with their knives.

But Zhang Jinglin's reaction was much calmer.

Zhang Jinglin is a drug lunatic through and through. He is obsessed with medicine to the point where he has no scruples about good and evil, but he is also very talented and can do things that others cannot.

Such a person can no longer be regarded as a human being, but a very valuable 'material', which is useful only if he is alive. Even if the Beiliang royal family who hates him deeply captures him, he cannot kill him at once.

Zhang Jinglin knew that Wei had caught him, so he continued to let him do research, so he didn't even have the intention to resist. Seeing Ye Jingtang come in, he got up with a small medicine box on his back, looking almost as if he was looking for another job.

Ye Jingtang called the Hei Ya policeman from the mountain, carried Wu Wang down, and then escorted Zhang Jinglin down the mountain, and asked on the way:
"Doctor Zhang, what is the origin of Tianlangzhu?"

Zhang Jinglin didn't look like a prisoner, he was walking on the small path by himself, and he responded after hearing the sound:
"A kind of secret medicine from the tribes of Beiliang and Xihai. They believe in 'Heavenly Officials'. Legend has it that the heavenly officials came to the world and gave the elixir to the master of all tribes. However, the old man looked through the history of Beiliang and speculated that it should be from Xihai a hundred years ago. The wizards of the Qinchi Department researched it, and the time was around the time when the snow lake flowers bloomed last time..."

"Mochi Department..."

Ye Jingtang was sure that he was the only one who could use Tianlangzhu, and felt that this must have something to do with him, so he asked:
"Where is this tribe now?"

Master Xuanji walked behind Ye Jingtang, and responded:
"The West Sea is Tianlang Lake, surrounded by tens of thousands of miles, there are no less than a hundred tribes scattered, the Qinchi tribe is in the west, and it is rumored that it is the place where the sun sets last.

"120 years ago, the Qinchi tribe suddenly became bigger and unified the Xihai tribes, which almost turned the world into a tripartite confrontation. However, after the death of the old leader, the Xihai tribes quickly fell apart.

"The former Qinchi tribe of Jiazi surrendered to Beiliang. It was completely wiped out more than 30 years ago, and it no longer exists now."

Ye Jingtang nodded slightly.

Zhang Jinglin continued: "The statement of 'a gift from the gods' should be a strategy of the Qin Dynasty to fool the people. It is the same as the founding emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty who said that when he was born, 'Nine Dragons came to court' to deceive the people. The only one in history. The real miracle should only be carried away by the founding emperor of Great Wu, after all, the picture of the dragon call is truly extraordinary..."

?

Ye Jingtang and Master Xuanji were taken aback when they heard this, and Master Xuanji asked:
"Have you seen the picture of Minglong?"

Zhang Jinglin said with a smile: "There is a copy hidden in the Beiliang Imperial Palace. The old man wanted to steal it and study it, but unfortunately the guards were too strict and he failed."

Seeing this, Master Ye Jingtang and Xuanji were stunned—in the hands of the Northern Liang court, it was almost the same as in the hands of the Great Wei court. Even if they knew it, they would never steal it. This clue is not much different from nothing.

The three of them chatted for a while before arriving at the camp under Huangshi Ridge.

Seeing that King Wu was captured and brought down, Dongfang Liren arranged for the soldiers to leave camp and return.Seeing Ye Jingtang approaching, she stepped forward and said:

"I just reported from the lower levels that Zhang Wenyuan was found in the woods two miles away. What's the case with him?"

Ye Jingtang shook his head and said: "When I first came to Wuzhou, I met a child looking for his father, so I just helped to investigate. Your Highness, wait a moment, I will go and have a look."

……

The drug testers captured by Wu Wang were kept in iron cages for a long time, with no clothes to cover their bodies and no food to eat. Most of them were injured and could not run very far.

Zezhou soldiers have been searching the surrounding area, and all the drug testers they found are concentrated in a clearing in the forest, most of them are weak martial arts, and there are many drug farmers.

Ye Jingtang came to the woods two miles away, and he could see that the doctor accompanying the army was treating the wounds of dozens of unkempt medicine testers.

A man with a big skeleton and a vertical scar on his face sat among the crowd with disheveled hair, eating military rations, and a kettle in front of him.

Ye Jingtang came to the front and looked down - the man with a big frame was already skinny, with bloodstains and scars on his body, and he didn't know how much crime he had committed under Wu Wang's hands.

Ye Jingtang took a few glances and said, "Zhang Wenyuan, your son is waiting for you in Wanshui Town. He will go out with the army later, and we will meet again soon."

Zhang Wenyuan was locked in an iron cage for a month, which was not a long time, and there was no major mental problem.Hearing the words, a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes, and he barely stood up to salute and thank him:
"Caomin pays homage to your lord, and you can't repay your life-saving grace..."

At this point, Zhang Wenyuan's eyes were suddenly attracted by the handle of the knife on Ye Jingtang's waist.

Although Zhang Wenyuan's martial arts skills are not high, he is still Yao Wenzhong's junior brother, and his experience is not bad.

Although the Chilong Saber has a huge stock in the Jianghu, it is only limited to the middle and lower class Jianghu martial arts, who do not know how to use a systematic sword, so they just find a beautiful knife as a weapon.

And once the Wufu learns a system, it is impossible to carry around weapons randomly. Those who carry the Junshan Sword will definitely kill the dragon, and the same is true for the person who wears the Chilong Sword, because these weapons are all made for supporting martial arts. , the weight, length, and shape are all particular, and other schools simply cannot use the desired effect.

Zhang Wenyuan glanced at the bronze chilong on the knife head ring, and then at Ye Jingtang's face, hesitating to speak.

Ye Jingtang remembered that kid from Wanshui Town, who had pretty good sword skills, and asked after seeing this:

"Do you use knives too?"

Zhang Wenyuan said respectfully: "When I was young, I studied art at Junshan Terrace for several years. I was fortunate enough to meet the three masters of Yunze and even competed with each other. My lord, this knife seems to have an unusual origin..."

Ye Jingtang was quite surprised, he had already revealed his identity with Xuanyuan Hongzhi, and there was no need to cover up, so he said directly:

"This knife is left by my father, have you seen it before?"

"..."

Hearing this, Zhang Wenyuan was obviously stunned for a moment, then carefully looked at Ye Jingtang's face, half-believing and half-doubting:

"Dare to ask your father, but Zheng Feng among the three masters of Yunze?"

Ye Jingtang raised his hand slightly, and let the weak Zhang Wenyuan sit down and speak:
"Father Pei Yuanfeng, 'Zheng Feng' should be Jiang Hu's pseudonym, but he didn't tell me what happened back then, and I don't know the details."

Zhang Wenyuan sat on the ground, thought for a while and said:

"My lord should be Zheng Daxia's adoptive son, right?"

"Huh?" Ye Jingtang wondered, "How do you know? They don't look like each other?"

"It's not a matter of appearance. I fought with Zheng Daxia back then. Although Zheng Daxia's sword skills are slightly inferior to the other two, his appearance is the best among the three masters of Yunze. If it weren't for this, my senior sister wouldn't..."

When Zhang Wenyuan said this, he felt that the topic might not be pleasant, so he changed his words:
"It's a pity that Zheng Daxia made a bad plan later. I asked the doctor who treated Zheng Daxia's injuries back then. His energy channels were broken and his kidneys were damaged. Not to mention martial arts, even having children is a luxury. It is logically impossible. have a son."

Ye Jingtang frowned, although he had heard about his adoptive father from Qiu Tianhe, but he was not very clear about the details, and asked:

"I only know that my father was provoked to fight on the stage. What happened back then?"

Zhang Wenyuan sighed, recalled a little, and talked about the past:
"I was only in my early twenties, and although my talent and martial arts were relatively poor, I was still able to play with swordsmen of my generation.

"The young swordsmen back then all liked to go to Nanhu City. Senior Brother Xuanyuan Tiangang, Senior Sister Xuanyuan Shuye, Xuanyuan Hongzhi, Yao Wenzhong, etc. were all frequent visitors there, and I often went there with my seniors to join in the fun. .

"One time, big brothers and the others were discussing sword skills in the city. Qiu Tianhe and Zheng Feng came to join in the fun as soon as they arrived in Nanhu City. Zheng Feng made his debut, and happened to face off against Xuanyuan Hongzhi. Before he could lift it up, Zheng Feng grabbed his neck and lost a grown man.

"Young people compete with each other. Winning and losing is a common thing. At that time, many people booed, but no one took it seriously. The senior brother helped find a place, beat Zheng Feng to the ground, and the senior sister even gave a bottle of wound medicine.

"At first, I thought it was just an ordinary sparring, so it passed away. I went to drink with Zheng Feng and Qiu Tianhe afterwards. But Xuanyuan Hongzhi is narrow-minded and scheming; he found that the senior sister and Zheng Feng were getting close. Tell Xuanyuan Chao directly about this matter.

"At that time, the imperial court was drafting a talent show, and Xuanyuan's family had established a good relationship with the capital, allowing the eldest daughter to enter the palace as a noble concubine. Xuanyuan Chao was very angry when he learned about this, and ordered his senior sister not to leave the house.

"Then Xuanyuan Hongzhi turned around and sent someone to find Zheng Feng to tell the truth about the draft.

"Zheng Feng was in a hurry, and he was afraid that the matter of the draft would be confirmed, so he went directly to Junshan Terrace to propose marriage in public.

"But Xuanyuan Dynasty has already discussed with the capital about the entry of the prostitute's daughter into the palace, how could it be possible to withdraw the emperor's engagement, and be unable to come down on the spot..."

Ye Jingtang frowned and said, "Then Xuanyuan Chao asked my father to speak with a knife?"

Zhang Wenyuan shook his head: "Xuanyuan Chao is the chief swordsman and the overlord of Zezhou's rivers and lakes. No matter what, he has to pay attention to the seniority of the rivers and lakes, but he just rejected the matter. As a result, Xuanyuan Hongzhi jumped out at that time and asked Zheng Feng to prove his strength with a sword; Zheng Feng Seeing that Xuanyuan Chao disagreed with the marriage, he agreed to this method and challenged Xuanyuan Chao in public, intending to take the knife.

.

"It is impossible for Xuanyuan Chao to marry his daughter, so he agreed to the challenge when he said that. Fighting in the arena is not a child's play, life and death are the rules. Xuanyuan Hongzhi fanned the flames before the battle and let Xuanyuan Chao die. After all, he did not agree to the marriage, so he and Zheng Feng made a death feud, and if he keeps it, he will become a serious trouble in the future.

"Xuanyuan Chao is not a good person, and he really wanted to kill Zheng Feng with a knife, so as not to leave a root of trouble, but the attack was too poisonous, and it was not good to spread the word.

"I thought the situation was wrong at the time, so I ran to Qiu Tianhe with my seniors, hoping that Qiu Tianhe would come to smooth things over with Zheng Feng, but when Qiu Tianhe rushed over, Zheng Feng had already been beaten into a cripple.

"Your Excellency should know what happened after that. Because of this matter, senior elder brother abandoned his sword and retreated into the world, and severed ties with the Xuanyuan family; Zheng Feng was incapable of doing human affairs, and after waking up from serious injuries, he disappeared and never appeared again. In order to help Zheng Feng, Qiu Tianhe single-handedly entered the marriage envoy team and robbed the senior sister, and wandered for decades. Many Junshantai disciples, including me, also left Junshantai because they couldn't understand this matter.

"The head of the Xuanyuan Dynasty was not recognized, and the successor turned his back on him. Even the title of 'Junshan Shenhou' became 'Xuanyuan Laoer'. Since then, he has rarely walked around the rivers and lakes. It can be said that after a storm, Not a single winner..."

Ye Jingtang frowned, and after a moment of silence, he sighed softly:
"I see."

After Zhang Wenyuan glanced at Ye Jingtang, he said softly:

"Let me tell you the truth, sir, don't mind. Zheng Feng is a good person, but his personality is a bit reckless. If it were Qiu Tianhe who elopes, robs relatives, or cooks rice, Xuanyuan Chao would have to hold his nose and admit it." Son-in-law, he chose the path he shouldn't have taken. However, regardless of Zheng Feng, the main problem lies with Xuanyuan Hongzhi.

"Xuanyuan Hongzhi has been afraid of Zheng Feng's return for revenge since then, and tried every means to track down Zheng Feng's whereabouts. I thought it was impossible for Zheng Feng to come back after so many years, but I didn't expect to meet my lord suddenly... Alas, Zheng Feng has a descendant. People are good, if Junshantai really let this matter be exposed, then this world will be meaningless..."

Ye Jingtang sighed secretly, put down these old accounts first, and looked at Zhang Wenyuan:

"Senior Zhang has chivalry in his heart to distinguish right from wrong, so he deserves to be a chivalrous character. However, his son's education is really not very good. He is young and aggressive and acts recklessly. If he hadn't met me, he would have been chopped down by the local snake in Wanshui Town. He has to take good care of him in the future. .”

Zhang Wenyuan's face changed slightly: "The dog is usually fine, maybe it's because I'm worried about my safety... Is the dog okay?"

Ye Jingtang wanted to say that it was fine, but last time he just made a show on the street, and then asked that kid to wait in the town. He really doesn't know what's going on now, so he opened his mouth and said:

"I said hello, it should be fine. Wu Wang has been captured, and there is nothing wrong in the mountains. I will go and fetch Senior Zhang's son. You can rest in the army."

For the rest of his life after the catastrophe, Zhang Wenyuan naturally wanted to reunite with his family the most, but after being locked in an iron cage for a month, it was difficult to even stand up now, and there were no horses in the mountains. Hands down:
"Then trouble your lord."

Seeing this, Ye Jingtang didn't delay, turned around and went back to the foot of Huangshi Ridge, said hello to Benben, and then sped away towards the outside of the mountain...
-
Just after noon, the sun was hot and the weather was quite sultry.

In the small inn in the small town along the river, Niao Niao squatted under the eaves, staring at the mountains in the north, humming softly in boredom.

In the room on the second floor, the doors and windows are closed.

Luo Ning was wearing a long cyan dress, sitting cross-legged on the bed, with her eyes closed, practicing the picture of 'Dragon and Elephant Standing in Face'.

Pei Xiangjun was wearing a flower and bird hairpin, dressed as a mature and beautiful young woman, and was also meditating in front of him, but he had just opened his mind yesterday, and his mind was full of scenes of shocking her, and he couldn't calm down at all.

After sitting for an unknown amount of time, Pei Xiangjun bit his lower lip, looked at the glamorous Hu Meizi beside him, and asked:

"Jingtang hasn't finished its adjustments yet, what should we do today?"

Luo Ning moved her eyelashes, then opened her eyes, and looked at Sanniang who knows the taste of the marrow:

"How to arrange what?"

Seeing that Luo Ning pretended not to understand, Pei Xiangjun frowned slightly:
"Should we continue to treat Jingtang together, or..."

Luo Ning took a light breath and said seriously:

"You still want to be together? I wanted to talk about you last night. Don't you feel awkward when two women hug each other and let a man bully you?"

Pei Xiangjun was still the eldest daughter of Huanghua yesterday, and her skin is actually thin, but Hu Meizi can't accept it, so she can adapt, and said:

"Follow the matter urgently, let Jingtang take care of his body, what's so awkward about it?"

"Even if we are recuperating together, we can take turns in a regular manner. Ye Jingtang can't bully the two of you at once. It's better for you to lie on my back and let him go back and forth... You are already heavy, but Ye Jingtang is even heavier. ..."

Pei Xiangjun blinked his eyes: "Then I will be below and you will be in the middle?"

?

Luo Ning didn't know what to say, so she raised her finger and poked Pei Xiangjun on the forehead:

"You can't help but get used to him? As soon as you entered the door, you heard that the two of him were together. Believe it or not, after a few days, he dared to raise unreasonable thoughts and make you..."

When Luo Ning said this, it was really hard to say, so she glanced at Pei Xiangjun's plump moon.

Pei Xiangjun obviously didn't understand what Luo Ning meant, so he slapped Luo Ning's hand away, and said in a ladylike manner:

"When you enter the door, you have to understand the principle of 'the husband sings and the wife follows'. You are astonished. What else can you think about?"

"You will know when your butt blossoms in the future, he has always been aggressive..."

"Cough-cough-"

Luo Ning was scolding the little thief when suddenly two coughs came from outside the window, which made her stop her words in a hurry.

But after thinking about it, she told the truth, what is there to be afraid of?Just turned to look at the window:

"What are you coughing for? Are you gasping again?"

squeak-

The windows open from the outside.

Ye Jingtang, who was flying back from the mountains just now, landed in the room, picked up the teapot on the table and took a big gulp:

"Running for too long, my throat is a bit dry. What are you talking about?"

Pei Xiangjun was not shy at all in front of Luo Ning, and responded:
"She felt that it was too heavy at the bottom, and wanted to be caught in the middle."

"Pei Sanniang!"

Luo Ning's eyes turned cold, and she raised her hand to hold Sanniang down, ready to take care of her family.

And Pei Xiangjun didn't hide, he leaned on the pillow, raised his hand and hugged Luo Ning's upper body, and said in a blink of an eye:
"Come on, Jingtang, let her try."

"Are you going crazy?"

? !
Ye Jingtang hadn't lost his mind at first, but when he heard Sanniang's words, he couldn't keep his mind steady.He put down his teacup and came to the bed, lay on Ning'er's back, and tapped on Sanniang's lips:
"How is it? Is it heavy?"

Luo Ning pressed on Pei Xiangjun's skirt, was caught in the middle and couldn't move, her eyes suddenly became annoyed, she turned her head and said:

"Little thief! If you go too far, I'll go back to Nanxiao Mountain, get up!"

Ye Jingtang smacked Ning'er's lips again:

"I'll just give it a try. I have to go to Wanshui Town soon, and it's not for real."

Pei Xiangjun was pressed by two people, but he didn't feel heavy because of his high martial arts skills. He lay on the pillow and said doubtfully:
"What are you doing in Wanshui Town?"

"Pick up someone, just pass by here, come back and have a look. You continue to rest, Wu Wang's business has been done, I guess I will come back at night."

Luo Ning frowned and said: "You haven't recuperated well, Wuzhou is in such a mess, why run around alone? I'll go with you."

Pei Xiangjun was also worried about Ye Jingtang, and looked at the big sun outside:

"Wanshui Town is a hundred miles away. It's so hot at noon that you can't bear a horse. Let's go after rest. Sharpen your knife and chop wood. You're sweating profusely."

Ye Jingtang rushed back from the mountains on foot against the scorching sun, it was indeed a bit hot, so after thinking about it, he pushed the boat along and prepared to take a rest.

Luo Ning wanted to break free from the tension between the two breads, but was held down by two people together. Seeing Ye Jingtang was about to lift her skirt, she said angrily:
"Little thief! Is this what you said to be true?"

"Hehe... I'll take a break, for this battle, I'll explain it in a quarter of an hour at most..."

"Phew! How often do you not toss around for hours? You... oh~ You should take care of her first, the weather is so hot, let's get together... woo woo!"

Pei Xiangjun covered Luo Ning's mouth and hummed softly:
"Why are you talking so much to her? She is reluctant now, but she will be honest later."

Luo Ning's mouth was covered, her brows stood upright, and when she couldn't break free, she could only close her eyes and say, "If you dare to mess around, I dare to go back to my mother's house... No, go back to my husband's house!" 'The look of grief and indignation.

It was useless for Ye Jingtang to hold San Niang's hand, and kiss Ning'er tenderly for a while, until Ning'er no longer resisted, then put the two of them into two pairs of doors, and seize the time to rest...
