Rise of Qinglian

Central Plains, Qin Dynasty.

Zhezhou, the Black Wind Mountain Range is located at the junction of Zhezhou and Taizhou, stretching for hundreds of thousands of miles, with high mountains and dense forests.

Because of its strategic location, many business travelers pass by here every year, and there are also many robbers and robbers.

On this day, on a remote road, a group of robbers were fighting with the guards of a business trip. More than a dozen guards fell to the ground, with arrows stuck in their bodies.

A black-faced man with a terrifying scar on his head held a pair of black axes and chopped the two guards to the ground.

A middle-aged man with a big belly had trembling legs, his face was pale, and some yellow liquid leaked from his feet. He was so frightened that he peed.

"Hero, spare your life. Take all your money and spare my life."

The middle-aged man quickly begged for mercy, his tone trembling.

The black-faced man sneered and swung his two axes towards the middle-aged man.

Just as the middle-aged man was about to be cut in half, a sound broke through the air, and several green lotus darts fell from the sky, accurately hitting the black-faced man's hands. Under the severe pain, he dropped the black ax in his hand, and his face was covered with pain. Angry look.

A tall young man in a blue shirt and a young woman in a blue skirt with picturesque features. The young man in a blue shirt holds a long blue sword in his hand, and the young woman in a blue skirt holds a long blue sword in her hand. It is Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan. .

This time they blended into the secular world and became chivalrous knights who took pleasure in grudges and performed chivalrous acts of justice everywhere.

"Qinglian Heroes, it's you! You dare to ruin the good things of our Black Wind Village, you are seeking death."

The black-faced man shouted angrily.

As soon as he finished speaking, dense arrows flew out of the grass on both sides of the path and headed straight for them.

Wang Changsheng flicked his wrist, and a blue sword energy swept out, blocking the arrow from the left. Wang Ruyan shook his right hand, and a sharp sword energy flew out, blocking the arrow from the right.

With a muffled sound of "clang", the blue long sword and the blue long sword collided, crossed together, and struck towards the black-faced man.

The other robbers wanted to stop them. Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan raised their hands, and a large lotus dart flew out, piercing the robber's body.

There was a shrill scream, and the black-faced man's head rolled down and fell to the ground. The headless body fell to the ground, and the ground was dyed red with blood.

The middle-aged man collapsed on the ground in fear, his face turning blue.

"There is a caravan coming here, please take care of yourself."

Wang Changsheng picked up the head of the black-faced man and left the place with Wang Ruyan.

······

Echeng is the prefecture city of Zhezhou, with prosperous commerce and numerous business travelers.

There are more than a dozen portraits posted at the entrance of the city gate. They are all criminal thieves wanted by the government. The one with the highest reward is the owner of Heifeng Village, who has a reward of 10,000 taels of silver.

Chen Dalong is a distant relative of the prefect. Through his relationship with the prefect, he serves as a small leader and is responsible for opening and closing the city gates.

On this day, as usual, he was drinking wine and eating side dishes at the gate of the city. The people lined up to enter the city and plucked the geese. After a whole morning, he took away a lot of things, including chicken, duck and fish.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan walked up to him. Wang Changsheng took out a simple wooden box and said, "The head of the leader of Black Wind Village will be exchanged for ten thousand taels of silver."

Chen Dalong stood up quickly, with a flattering look on his face, and said, "Master Wang is so awesome. The prefect has been waiting for a long time and wants to interview you."

"Lead the way!"

Wang Changsheng ordered that they were knights now. They went around killing those criminal thieves and distributed the bounties to the poor families.

After a while, Wang Changsheng, Wang Ru and Chen Dalong walked into the county government office and came to a quiet courtyard.

Not long after, a middle-aged man with a majestic face walked in.

"Okay, you have nothing to do here, go down!"

The middle-aged man ordered Chen Dalong. Chen Dalong claimed that he was right and strode away.

"Master Wang, Mrs. Wang, you are highly skilled in martial arts. In less than half a year, you have killed twenty-seven robbers wanted by the government. Are you interested in taking official meals?"

The middle-aged man's tone was gentle.

"Thank you, Lord Prefect, for your kindness. We, as a couple, are used to being idle and can't get used to official meals."

Wang Changsheng declined politely. They just wanted to experience the pleasure and revenge of the knights.

The middle-aged man frowned and said, "How about this! You just have a false position. If you encounter trouble in the future, I can help you."

"No, we have made up our mind. Thank you, Lord Prefect, for your kindness."

Wang Changsheng remained unmoved.

A flash of anger flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes. He took out a banknote from his sleeve, threw it to Wang Changsheng, and said: "The reward order has changed. The head of the leader of Black Wind Village is only worth one thousand taels. You can go now. .”

Wang Changsheng was not angry, accepted the banknote, and left with Wang Ruyan.

"Hmph, you don't know how to appreciate things, but you will have something to look at in the future."

The middle-aged man sneered, with a look of disdain.

······

A year later, in a dilapidated mountain temple, dozens of beggars in ragged clothes gathered in the temple. They were covered in dirt and emitted a stench.

The temple door was pushed open, and Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan walked in.

"Qinglian Heroes, Hero Wang, Mrs. Wang, you have finally arrived."

An old beggar who was over fifty stood up and quickly came to Wang Changsheng with an excited expression.

Wang Changsheng took out dozens of taels of silver, handed it to the old beggar, and said, "Use this money to buy some food. It's almost winter, so buy some clothes to keep out the cold."

After saying this, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan were about to leave. Over the years, they had specialized in killing criminal thieves wanted by the government in exchange for bounties. They distributed the bounties to poor families to make their lives better.

"Wait a minute, Master Wang, we don't want money."

The old beggar stopped Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng turned around and said, "What do you want?"

The old beggar suddenly sprinkled a piece of green powder and hit Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan did not hide away and inhaled the green powder.

"We want your lives. The rebels have been hit by the Hua Gong Powder, so why don't they be captured as soon as possible?"

The old beggar laughed wildly.

More than a dozen beggars took out their weapons and surrounded Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan.

"What rebel? Don't slander us."

Wang Ruyan said with a cold face.

"Hmph, we captured a group of rebels not long ago. They have already confessed. You are the leader. We have been ordered to arrest you and bring you to justice. You should die!"

The old beggar sneered.

"Stupid, we killed the thieves who made money for the Sixth Prince, and why are we charged? Ridiculous, haha, ridiculous."

Wang Changsheng sneered, with a look of disdain.

A powerful spiritual pressure rushed out from his body, and the old beggar and others flew backwards, but their lives were not in danger.

"The world of martial arts is nothing more than that, no different from the world of immortality."

Wang Ruyan sighed and said that they had done a lot of good things, but in the end they were labeled as rebels by the powerful just because they killed the powerful men who made money.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan turned into dots of blue light and disappeared, never to appear again.

The old beggar and others were stunned and speechless for a long time.
