Under the sky

Chapter 125: Bullshit ([-])

Shen Yongci's motorcade was still twenty miles away from the Jialing River, and the bamboo and sword flags were fluttering in the wind.There are red sandalwood carriages and golden roofs. The hundreds of riders who open the way occupy the track side by side. There are also hundreds of riders behind them. Among them, the more than [-] people escorting the heavyweights are not ordinary. They are all strong and strong men. .

Mi Zhiwei is the leader of this team.He is a direct descendant of Nanchong Jinzhumen, and has a pair of gold-plated double iron maces passed down from his ancestors. During the Nu King's uprising more than 100 years ago, Mi Feixiong, the head of the Jinzhu Sect at that time, served as the charge captain of the cavalry and was known as the "Awl Army".When encountering the enemy, Mi Feixiong held two gold maces and led the troops into the enemy's formation, disrupting the enemy's formation. Like a cone being inserted into a bag, a hole will inevitably be drilled out.To this day, the Jinzhu Gate still hangs a plaque with the words "Destroy the enemy must be destroyed" written by the angry king to show the majesty of the ancestors.

Now the pair of gold-plated iron maces made by Mi Zhiwei are four feet long, as thick as thumbs, and shaped like bamboo joints.It is said that the origin of Jinzhumen is Qin Qiong, a general of the Tang Dynasty. He originally started his business in Shandong, but his descendants were exiled several times, and there was a series of allusions about whether it was true or false, and finally took root in Nanchong.Because there are many bamboos in Shu, the mace has many knots like bamboo, which is the origin of the name Golden Bamboo Gate.Qin Shubao was given a golden mace, which he used to knock out the emperor and slander his ministers. The Golden Bamboo Gate commemorated his ancestors, and his disciples who became successful in the art would plate the mace with gold to show their success.However, the price of gold is high, so most of the disciples use copper instead of gold to express their feelings. After all, Mi Zhiwei is the leader, so for this little silver, these gold maces are actually plated with real gold.

Regardless of the old almanac, Mi Zhiwei has learned all the true stories from his ancestors and has great martial arts skills. He was transferred to Qingcheng five years ago and served as the garrison commander of Ba County. He is a general in Qingcheng.He was ordered to lead a convoy to escort the leader to Kunlun for a joint meeting, but he encountered the tragic explosion of the joint meeting hall.

Thinking of this incident, Mi Zhiwei was still frightened.Fortunately, the leader escaped safely with only minor injuries. If anything had happened, he would have said goodbye to his wife and children in Nanchong on his way back and sent the head to Ba County.

The convoy should transfer to a boat at the Jialing River and disembark at the Chaoyang Wharf at the confluence with the Yangtze River. This would arrive in Ba County.Mi Zhiwei had already sent an order to prepare boats at the dock, just waiting to cross the river.

Finally back in Qingcheng, Mi Zhiwei took a breath.As the convoy advanced, Mi Zhiwei looked into the distance. First, there were a few blurry and subtle protrusions. As the field of vision became clearer, dozens of masts could be seen. The bamboo sword flag was fluttering in the wind. The ship was styled like a warship from the Three Gorges Gang.

Mi Zhiwei couldn't help but wonder, as more than a dozen river patrol boats gathered together, could there be some movement?
As the convoy approached the river bank, Mi Zhiwei became more and more surprised.These are not a dozen ships, but dozens or hundreds.The entire Jialing River was completely obscured by the warships of the Three Gorges Gang. Looking from a distance, not even a piece of the river surface could be seen.There were more than a hundred horses parked on the river bank, lined up neatly. Could they be here to greet the leader's team?

Mi Zhiwei couldn't help but be suspicious.Shen Yongci opened the sedan curtain, feeling surprised and asked, "What's going on?"

Suddenly there was a whistle, gongs and drums sounded, and many people and horses poured out of the woods and highlands on both sides. There were probably more than a thousand people in front and behind.Mi Zhiwei's expression changed drastically. He didn't expect to be ambushed in Qingcheng territory or outside Ba County.He remained calm, raised his mace and shouted: "Protect the leader!"

The cavalry in front and rear of the convoy immediately gathered together.The terrain around Ba County was rugged, making it difficult for cavalry to move, but more than a hundred cavalry did not feel cramped. In addition, these people were skilled in horses and horses. They immediately formed four queues of thirty cavalry to protect the rear convoy. Among them, 300 people sounded war drums and picked up weapons. , the bird's eye view is like a lotus, surrounded by layers of trees.The outer 150 people hold round shields in their hands and waist knives at their wrists, the middle hundred people hold bows and arrows, and the last 50 people each hold long and short exotic weapons, including swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, forks and clubs.

Unexpectedly, the opponent actually shouted: "Protect the Supreme Leader!" They surrounded him and did not attack. They just stayed on the outside and at a high place, with a bow in their hands and arrows on their backs.Mi Zhiwei was shocked by the brave men arrayed on the slope. The men were high or low, and they surrounded his side. There were so many of them that if they took advantage of the terrain to charge down, they would be annihilated.He was even more confused, how could there be so many people ambushing him outside Ba County?Who is the enemy?What are they shouting for?
But they saw dust flying in front of them, and the hundreds of cavalrymen on the river bank had also moved, charging towards them.Although Mi Zhiwei was not panicking, he saw that there were not many enemies in front of him, and there were also the Three Gorges Gang's fleet in the distance. He made a prompt decision and shouted: "Cavalry clear the way, rush out!"

Suddenly someone shouted loudly: "Master Mi, don't panic, we are here to protect the Supreme Leader!"

Mi Zhiwei was startled and doubtful. He looked up and saw a strong middle-aged man on the hillside on the right who was Chang Buping, the head of the Iron Fist Sect.He recognized this man, reined in his horse and said, "Master Chang, what are you doing?"

Chang Buping said: "There is a change in Qingcheng. Master Ya was provoked by the night list and led the Wei Shu army to cause chaos. Ba County was sealed off!"

Shen Yongci's expression changed and he asked, "What did you say? Master Ya is causing trouble?"

Chang Buping bowed and saluted, and said: "To the Supreme Master, there has been chaos in Qingcheng recently. The Master ordered us to come and protect the Supreme Master. Mr. Mi, please give the order to set up camp. There will be instructions later."

Shen Yongqi asked suspiciously: "What kind of leader? What kind of leader? Chang Buping, what are you talking about?"

"Mrs. Tai will be here soon. Master Tai, please wait a moment."

Shen Yongci shouted: "I will enter Ba County today!"

Chang Buping bowed and said: "The master ordered me to humble my position and protect the master. If you make a mistake, you will be punished. Master, don't make things difficult for your subordinates."

"What leader? What do you mean by this?" Shen Yongci asked angrily. He had already realized that the situation was serious, "I am the leader of Qingcheng!"

"The Grand Master is so forgetful. Didn't you pass the throne to the Master? The Crown Prince is smart and clever, he inherited the throne, and put an end to Ya Ye's chaos, and everyone is convinced."

Shen Yongci suddenly realized, his face full of disbelief.No one would believe that a person like Shen Yuqing would try to usurp his father's position as head of the family.

"Get out of the way!" came a woman's voice.Shen Yongci looked around and saw Chu Jingtan wearing thick armor, a sword hanging on her waist, a ponytail, and leading about two hundred cavalry to arrive in unison.He looked left and right again, fearing that there were not 2000 people surrounding him. Looking back, he saw a black mass of human heads blocking the way back. The Three Gorges Gang ships further away might not have listened to his orders.

Mrs. Chu's cavalry lined up in front and the cavalry squeezed in. Mrs. Chu reined up her horse and stood in front of Shen Yongci's sedan, and said loudly: "Master Mi, set up camp in the stronghold. We can't go back to the city for the time being!" She said to Mi Zhiwei After giving the order, Mi Zhiwei hesitated and looked at Shen Yongci.

"Madam, what's going on?" Shen Yongci asked, "What nonsense did you hear? Yu'er..."

"Ms. sir, as you ordered, I have passed on the position of head to Yu'er!" Mrs. Chu said loudly, so that the surrounding people could hear clearly.

"What?" Shen Yongci couldn't believe it.Mrs. Chu didn't reply and scolded Mi Zhiwei angrily: "Didn't you hear me? Set up camp!"

"I'm going into the city! If you have anything to say, go back to Qingcheng!" Shen Yongci asked loudly, "What's wrong with Master Ya?"

Mi Zhiwei is in a dilemma.Mrs. Chu was heard shouting: "Capture Mi Zhiwei!" Both sides were already prepared, drawing their knives to hold Mi Zhiwei.Mi Zhiwei didn't dare to resist, and was restrained in an instant, so he had to shout loudly about injustice.

Mrs. Chu said loudly: "Mi Zhiwei disobeyed orders and was taken back to Qingcheng to be punished! Chang Buping, these people are handed over to you. Anyone who refuses to obey will be killed!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Chang Buping raised his fist and shouted loudly: "According to Madam's order, take over the convoy. Anyone who disobeys will be killed!" He took out an arrow from the quiver on the back of a disciple on the side, broke it into two pieces and threw it on the ground, "Convoy" Listen to the order and set up camp immediately!"

The surrounding disciples each held weapons and shouted loudly: "Set up camp and go down to the stronghold, and those who disobey the order will be killed! Set up camp and go down to the stronghold, and those who disobey the order will be killed!" Shen Yongci was about to stop him when 2000 people shouted loudly, and the sound had already overwhelmed him. sound.The cavalry brought by Mrs. Chu galloped into the battle, rampaged, and urged the disciples to go down to the stronghold. The disciples had no clue and had no choice but to do so.

Shen Yongci said with a livid face: "Madam, are you rebelling?"

"Zhaizhai! If you have anything to say, tell us in the village!" Mrs. Chu's tone was firm.

Shen Yongci was helpless.It didn't take long for the main stronghold to be set up, and Mrs. Chu said: "Ms. Sir, please come inside!"

Shen Yong resigned from the sedan chair and entered the camp, followed by Mrs. Chu.Seeing this, Chang Buping whispered a few words to the left and right, and the captains who were following him each led people down the hillside...

"You conspired with Yu'er?" Shen Yongci could no longer suppress his anger in his voice, "Is it Xie Gubai who instigated it? What did he say?"

"Is Li Muhai still alive?" Mrs. Chu went straight to the point, "You catch up with him and kill him?"

Shen Yongci was stunned. Only then did he notice that the dark red dye on his wife's nails was extremely bright and he didn't know how many times she had dyed it.He had never seen his wife stained by Dankou's fingers.

Chu Jingtan saw the fleeting surprise in her husband's eyes, which could not be hidden from her.

Shen Yongci calmed down and said, "You still miss him. Is he really your old lover?"

"Don't talk to me about this. We have been husband and wife for more than [-] years, and you know best what our relationship is. If you want to change the subject and make me angry, don't even think about it!" Mrs. Chu said, "Brother Li is my good friend. He suffered a lot back then. We all owe him a grievance, so I asked him whether he was dead or alive!"

"Everything I do is for Qingcheng!" Shen Yong said, "Master Ya will not be a good leader!"

"I'm asking you about Brother Li, what are you talking about!" Mrs. Chu raised her voice, "Is he dead?" Shen Yongci sighed: "I don't know."

"Have you admitted it?" Mrs. Chu asked, "Are those all true?"

Shen Yong said: "You already know, there is no use hiding it."

"I just want to hear you admit it yourself!" Mrs. Chu closed her eyes slightly to calm her floating mind. After a while, she said again, "You do these things just to be the head?"

"You don't understand Master Ya's temperament? He appears to be smart and capable, but in fact he is impetuous, irritable, reckless and ignorant. He does not know how to restrain his behavior because he is the eldest son of Qingcheng! If he is not the eldest son, can he be the eldest son?" Shen Yong said, "Our generation is not in the age of peace. What kind of hope does it have to build the Nine-Dragon Chair? The Nine Families have been recruiting troops for decades. What are they waiting for? Except for the confused Taoist priests in Wudang, who really regards the Kunlun consensus as a long-term peace and stability?"

"Kunlun discussed the matter together, Second Master, Zhuge Yan, and Taoist Master Xuanxu. Are their deaths related to you?" Mrs. Chu asked again.

"Qingcheng is weak, so we can only attack first! Let them be in chaos first, so that we can take advantage of it!" Shen Yongci knew that there was nothing to hide, and said seriously, "You think I want to collude with the barbarians? You think I don't Do you know the consequences? Have you ever thought that Qingcheng is weak and must rely on foreign aid? "

"Aren't you afraid that the barbarians will enter the border and the lives of the people will be destroyed?!"

"As long as Qingcheng grows stronger first, I will destroy the barbarians! I deliberately left the mark of the barbarians on the assassin who assassinated Wen Ruoshan, just to remind the nine families to pay attention to the barbarians!" Shen Yong said, "Everything I do is... It’s for Qingcheng!”

Mrs. Chu looked at Shen Yongci without saying a word.She was wondering how the person next to her could talk so freely.

"I know you are angry with me." Shen Yongci sighed, "But Yu'er is still young and still needs training. This matter must have been instigated by the unknown Xie Gubai, haven't you ever thought about how he knew the truth? I warned Yu'er to be careful of him, Yu'er is too young after all..."

He paused for a while and shook his head: "This Kunlun consensus meeting did not elect a co-leader that everyone is convinced of. If Head Li succeeds, Dian Cang, the Beggar Clan, and Huashan will definitely be dissatisfied. Once they lose their footing, the world will change color and there will be bloodshed. Jade My son is not good at maneuvering, so Qingcheng still needs me to take charge of the overall situation. The leader of Qingcheng will belong to Yu'er sooner or later."

Seeing that Mrs. Chu never replied, he called out in a low voice: "Jingtan...you...believe me once." His call was full of affection. Mrs. Chu was aroused and couldn't help but blush when she thought of the love she had shared over the years. Eye sockets.

Seeing his wife's emotion, Shen Yongci continued: "I did it for..."

"For whom?!" Mrs. Chu interrupted Shen Yongci, her tone full of sadness and disappointment, and asked with a trembling voice: "Tell me again...who are you doing for?!"

Shen Yongci gritted his teeth and said, "For Qingcheng!"

"You're doing it for yourself!" Mrs. Chu scolded in a sharp voice. If it weren't for the fear of people outside hearing it, she would have almost roared: "Stop telling these high-sounding lies and disgusting people! You are doing it for yourself!"

Shen Yongci couldn't help but be stunned. He could hardly remember the last time his fierce wife reprimanded him like this. Maybe she had never...

"Leave the head of the job to Yu'er, and we will take care of ourselves in Qingcheng." Mrs. Chu turned back and advised softly, "Don't make Yu'er in trouble."

"I'm still the leader!" Shen Yongci almost roared, "Why don't you understand that Yu'er was deceived!"

"He was deceived. It was you, the father, who deceived him!" Mrs. Chu shook her head, "What else do you have to explain? Let's leave after you finish explaining!"

Shen Yongci raised his head and said, "I'm going back to Qingcheng right now! Let's see who dares to stop me!"

After he finished speaking, he strode out of the tent. As soon as he opened the curtain door, he saw Shen Yuqing standing outside the door. He couldn't help but be startled and called out: "Yu'er?"

Shen Yuqing just shouted softly: "Dad."

Shen Yongci again saw Shen Yu leaning behind him, with hundreds of horses and horses surrounding him outside the tent. The men and horses he led had long been driven to the outside, and the men and horses led by Chang Buping were stationed inside, and Mi Zhiwei was nowhere to be seen. He couldn't help but be stunned at the sight.It turned out that when he and Mrs. Chu were talking in the tent, Shen Yuqing had already arrived and replaced the people who protected Shen Yongci with his own people.

Mrs. Chu walked out of the tent and said loudly: "Yu'er, your father is crazy, be careful!" She deliberately said it loudly so that people around her could hear it.

"Are you plotting against me?!" Shen Yongci roared in disbelief, "We have been married for more than 20 years, and you are helping your son plot against me?!"

"We have been married for many years, how could I plot against you? Yong Ci...you...you are so crazy...you still don't wake up!" Mrs. Chu's eyes were red, but this was not a joke.This husband is indeed crazy. If he was not crazy, how could he collude with the barbarians? And why has he still not woke up?

Shen Yongci stared at his son and said in a deep voice, "Is this how I taught you?!"

Shen Yuqing lowered his head and lowered his hands, his attitude still respectful: "There are more things that dad has never taught his children than they think."

Shen Yong's words were unbelievable and he was about to step forward with his sword when he heard Shen Yuqing suddenly draw his sword and raise it high, loudly saying: "Everyone, listen to the order! The Supreme Master is insane. If there is any violation of the rules, he will be captured immediately and no one will be injured." Damn it, reward level three!" The riders in the front pulled out their weapons one after another, and the disciples in the rear stood ready, with swords, lights, and shadows layered on top of each other. It was obvious that they no longer took Shen Yongci as the master in their eyes.

"This is something my father never taught me." Shen Yuqing held the sword with both hands, pointed the tip of the sword to the ground, and lowered his head respectfully. Shen Yongci couldn't even tell what his son was thinking in his heart.

"If the father wants to take risks, the child will try his best to stop the father. They are all methods that the father has never taught him."

He originally had many things to ask his father, but his mother had already asked them on his behalf, and he heard them clearly.

His heart kept tugging, but he couldn't hesitate, he had to support Qingcheng.

Shen Yongci looked back at his wife.

"I'll give you three days to think about what else you need to explain to your son." After Mrs. Chu finished speaking, she took the horse and got on it.Shen Yuqing bowed his head and said, "Father, take care." Then she sheathed her sword, got on her horse, and rode away with her mother, leaving only Shen Yongci standing there blankly.

"Mother..." Shen Yuqing didn't realize until she spoke now that her voice was hoarse, and her constricted throat made it difficult to spit out every word.

"I'm fine, I'm fine..." Mrs. Chu said, "I'm sorry for you."

Shen Yu leaned toward his entourage and asked for a pot of water. He waited until his tight throat was slightly moist before saying: "And the old eyes they talk about... I wonder if Qingcheng has any leverage in the hands of the barbarians."

"This is the most important thing." Mrs. Chu frowned, as if thinking deeply, "We cannot let outsiders know this secret."

Shen Yuqing looked at the ship in the distance. There were two people standing on the main ship, looking at her from a distance.
