Chapter 7 Conspiracy
The bright morning star has gradually risen into the eastern night sky, and all human beings have fallen into a deep sleep at this time.

Huzhai, a hundred miles away from Damian Mountain Canyon, also fell into a deep sleep. There are only watchtowers, gates, beacon towers... some places related to the safety of the village, and there are sporadic torches lit. Standing beside the torches There are some big men wearing animal fur coats, wearing white animal tooth necklaces, and holding weapons. They are in charge of the night watch.

At the east gate of Huzhai, there are two big men guarding the night. They stand on the top of the stone wall above the gate of the village, staring at the dark cliff in front of the gate without blinking. The torches standing beside the stone wall are burning There was a crackling sound, and the firelight reflected the rough face of the big man, which was extremely sturdy.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

At this moment, the bronze bell not far from the two big men rang three times. They couldn't help being shocked, and subconsciously clenched the spears in their hands.

The two big men looked at each other, their eyes full of doubt and vigilance: Who is coming to Huzhai in the middle of the night?
"Who, who is ringing the bell?" One of the big men raised his voice and shouted vigilantly towards the dark cliff below.

"It's me, Li Qingsong, quickly, put down the basket and pull me up." A tired voice came from below the cliff.

When the two big men heard that it was the voice of Li Qingsong, the leader of the young village, they couldn't help but loosen their grip on the spear. Then, they got off the stone wall and came to a giant fine iron wheel in front of the east gate. One of them poked his head out of the cliff and said, "Master Shaozhai, please wait a moment."

The two big men put down the weapons in their hands, one tightly grasped the fine iron handle wrapped in soft animal skin on the fine iron wheel, and the other grabbed a fine iron ring on the fine iron wheel that was also wrapped in animal skin and pulled it hard, " With a bang, a large hanging basket fixed on the cliff was released from the valve and slowly fell towards the bottom of the cliff.

This hanging basket is made of the hardest black iron wood, two feet long and one foot wide, and it is used to pick up people from Huzhai.

Huzhai was built on the top of a large cliff, surrounded by steep cliffs on all sides. It covers an area of ​​twenty miles around and has a population of 7.People rely on this huge hanging basket for daily travel and hunting. There are four gates in Huzhai, and there are also four of this large hanging basket, which are placed in the four directions of east, south, west and north.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The bell rang again, and the two big men confirmed that the Shaozhai master had entered the hanging basket, and they shook the handles on the fine iron wheel vigorously together, making the sound of mechanical friction...

Soon, the hanging basket was lifted to the top of the cliff.

The two big men saw a young man with disheveled hair, dusty body, blood on the corner of his mouth, and panic-stricken face, coming out of the hanging basket.

They confirmed that the person who came was the Shaozhai Lord, and they couldn't help being surprised when they saw his distressed appearance. Just as they were about to say something, the Shaozhai Master quickly passed them and rushed towards the village.

Li Qingsong, with disheveled hair, quickly ran to a large stone house courtyard in the village, which was much more grand and luxurious than the low stone house courtyards nearby. This was the residence of the village owner Li Ba.

At the gate of the stone house courtyard, there were two sturdy men wearing animal skins holding weapons and guarding them. When they saw a man with disheveled hair rushing towards him, they couldn't help but gripped the hilt of the sword and drew out the broadsword to aim at Li Qingsong's chest. They shouted in a deep voice: " Who is it that dares to trespass into the village master’s residence and kill him without mercy.”

"It's me, you two idiots, I have something important to do with my father." Li Qingsong abruptly stopped in front of the cold sword point, and cursed at the two guards.

The two big men listened to the voice, and then opened their eyes to look carefully. After seeing that it was Li Qingsong, they couldn't help apologizing in panic: "So it's the master of the Shaozhai, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Li Qingsong didn't have the time to pay attention to the two of them, he pushed open the heavy wooden door and entered the courtyard of the stone house. He saw a light coming from the window of a stone house, so he stepped forward quickly.

He came to the door of the stone house, slammed on the wooden door hastily, and shouted anxiously: "Father, open the door soon and something serious will happen!"

Soon the wooden door opened, and a middle-aged man who looked somewhat similar to Li Qingsong, also had a hooked nose, but was much stronger than Li Qingsong, appeared behind the door.

This person is Li Qingsong's father, Li Ba, the current head of Huzhai, who has the cultivation base of the sixth-rank peak of the Star Enlightenment Realm.

Li Ba's radiant eyes were full of doubt and anger, looked at Li Qingsong, and said in a deep voice, "Go into the room and tell me."

Li Qingsong didn't speak anymore after hearing the words, followed Li Ba into the house with his head down, and closed the door.

Li Ba went back to the house and sat on a chair covered with soft animal skins, squinted his eyes at Li Qingsong who was standing in front of him, and said, "What's the proper way to be flustered when something happens, everything is done?"

"It's done, that brat has been completely dealt with by me. But..."

"But what? Say."

Li Qingsong's face showed fear, nervousness, hesitation...complicated expressions, he really didn't want to tell his father about the destruction of the Black Turtle Star Treasure, for fear of being punished.

Li Ba looked at the expression on Li Qingsong's face, with a majestic look on his face, and said, "What's the matter, tell the truth."

Li Qingsong saw the majestic expression on his father's face, his legs trembled, and he knelt down in front of Li Ba, crying, "Father, my son has failed you, and the Black Turtle Star Treasure has been destroyed."

"What!" Hearing this, Li Ba stood up from the armchair, opened his eyes and shouted loudly.Hearing this news was no less than a bolt from the blue to Li Ba. The Black Turtle Star Treasure was obtained from the third prince of Qin after he betrayed Huzhai.

"Father...Father, calm down and listen to my explanation, listen to my explanation."

"You'd better give me a satisfactory reason, or the family law will serve you!"

"Father, after I lead someone to push Li Kang off the cliff..."

Next, after Li Qingsong tremblingly pushed Li Kang off the cliff, a mysterious master who looked somewhat similar to Li Kang suddenly appeared, and he used extremely domineering astrology to kill ten of his subordinates. And in the end he wanted to kill him, so he had to use the Black Turtle Star Treasure to escape the catastrophe.

Of course, he didn't mention anything about his desire to tarnish Chu Wan'er.

Hearing this, Li Ba stared into Li Qingsong's eyes majestically, and said word by word: "Is everything you said true?"

"It's all true, I swear to God!" Li Qingsong looked at his father without blinking, his eyes full of determination.

Li Ba stared at Li Qingsong for a long time, and after confirming that his son had not deceived him, the expression on his face eased, and the anger was also controlled, he helped Li Qingsong up, and said softly, "Okay, Dad believes in you. Get up, although the Black Turtle Star Treasure is precious, it is all external possessions, as long as you come back if you have nothing to do."

Li Ba thought about Li Qingsong's narration, and then asked: "You said that the mysterious master failed to kill you with an attack, so he didn't chase you anymore?"

"Yes, I don't know why the other party let me go in the end."

"Tell me about the situation at that time in detail, don't miss it."

……

After listening to Li Qingsong's narration again, Li Ba turned around, stared at the lights on the table without blinking, thought for a while, and said, "It's not that he let you go, but that he didn't let you go." Yuli will kill you again."

"I see... I really hate that I didn't turn around and deal with that person." Li Qingsong gritted his teeth with unwilling eyes.

"What's done is done, it's useless to regret it!" Li Ba said.

It took Li Qingsong a while to calm down, and he calmly said: "Father, then shall we follow the plan to trap and kill that old man Li Chunshan?"

"We must act according to the plan. Our father and son have spent their entire lives on this plan. No one can destroy our plan. Li Chunshan must die!" Li Ba's eyes showed a firm look, and he clenched his fists tightly. Gritting his teeth.

……

After a cup of tea time.

The sound of ancient and vast horns resounded through every corner of Huzhai within a radius of 7 miles. Clusters of huge bonfires were lit, illuminating Huzhai in the dark night as if it were day. Huzhai, the second largest village on the mountain, woke up from a deep sleep at this moment.

Sleepy-eyed people from Huzhai came out of the stone house one by one, and gathered in the direction of Huzhai's huge martial arts field with confused looks.

"You said, what happened, that the rallying horn was blown?"

"Although I don't know what happened, but the rallying horn sounded in the middle of the night, something big is bound to happen."

"Yeah, I remember ten years ago when the rally horn sounded in the middle of the night, it was the people from Black Dragon Village who were going to attack us."

"Never mind what's going on, let's hurry up to the Martial Arts Field, and don't delay the big event in Huzhai."

……

Not long after, the Martial arts arena, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people, was already crowded with people, and there were dark crowds everywhere.

There is a high platform right in front of the Martial Arts Field, and dozens of people stand on the high platform, including Li Ba, the owner of Huzhai, and his son Li Qingsong. These people are all powerful figures in Huzhai.

……

Fifteen hundred miles away from Huzhai, in Beihuang County of Yan State, Dongfeng City, in an inn, within a good room.

An old man with gray hair and a kind face, with his eyes closed and a dark green brilliance shining on his body, was meditating and resting.This person is Li Kang's grandfather, the elder of Huzhai, the number one person, Li Chunshan.

Suddenly, a fist-sized piece of white jade hanging on the old man's waist emitted a dazzling white light and vibrated slightly.

The old man opened his eyes, and there was a dignified and puzzled look in them: This jade pendant, called the Communication Star Jade, is very rare and precious, and its value is second only to the Star Treasure. In Li Ba's hand, one piece is in his hand.

A pair of message star jade can only be messaged ten times, and it will be broken after ten times, so it is not a big deal and should not be used lightly.

Li Chunshan took off the jade pendant and held it in his hand. The power of green starlight was poured into it, and the brilliance on the surface of the jade pendant became even more dazzling... From the center of the jade pendant, fonts shining with white light flew out one by one, with a total of ten characters. .

These characters formed a sentence in mid-air: Li Kang was taken away by the Qin people, please return quickly.

When Li Chunshan saw the words composed of ten words clearly, the big hand holding the Xingyu Xingyu couldn't help trembling, and almost broke it: the ten words were like ten heavy hammers, and each hammer hit hard on the ground. on his heart.

After these words appeared for two breaths, they turned into dots of white light, dissipated and became invisible.

"It's been three years, and the people of Qin finally can't help but use force. My grandson, the only blood of my Li family, you must be fine!" Li Chunshan's old eyes stared blankly at the words that no longer exist. The pitch-black void, murmured.

The next moment, there was a crisp sound of horseshoes on the bluestone street outside the inn, and five people and five riders were seen, penetrating the vast night, heading towards the city gate.
