Chapter 371

At dusk, the setting sun is like blood.

Xu Qi'an saw that there were quite rich delicacies in front of him. At the table sat an old woman with gentle temperament, a young man, a beautiful woman, and two children of different ages.

They are Zheng Xinghuai's family..... Now I take Zheng Xinghuai as my first perspective, looking back on his memory..... There was a time when Xu Qi'an had empathy, and he immediately realized.

He listened quietly to Zheng Xinghuai reprimand his son.

Zheng Xinghuai has two sons. The eldest son left his official career. Thanks to Zheng Xinghuai's teaching, the official voice is very good and has a bright future.

The second son is a dandy disciple. He stays up all day and does nothing.

Because of Zheng Xinghuai's strict family education, the second son didn't dare to bully men and women. Even the dandy couldn't do it well.

Nothing, nothing.

Today, Mr. Zheng ER was drinking in the brothel. He had a conflict with an officer and was severely beaten.

Zheng Xinghuai denounced his second son and spoke harshly.

The second son of Zheng was unconvinced and wronged and said, "Dad, I just went to the brothel. It's the man who took the initiative to pick up the trouble. It's not me who caused the trouble. What's wrong with me?"

Yeah, what's wrong with visiting brothels? Xu Qi'an complained of injustice for the second son of Zheng.

"Father, I want to go back to my mother's house. Next month will be my father's 60th birthday."

At this time, the daughter-in-law spoke.

Before Zheng Xinghuai spoke, the second son waved his hand and said, "are you crazy? Recently, the barbarians are making a lot of trouble outside. Chuzhou City is so close to the border. When you go out of the city, what do you do when you meet the barbarians on the way? "

His wife's frightened face showed up.

Zheng Xinghuai said angrily, "if you are greedy for life and afraid of death, how can I give birth to such rubbish as you."

Xu Qi'an can't see Zheng Xinghuai's face, but in a state of empathy, he can feel Zheng Xinghuai's anger of hating iron.

He was disappointed and helpless with his second son. He only felt that he had nothing to do with him. Even his eldest son couldn't match him with a hair.

At this time, a man in light armor rushed into the inner hall in a panic. He was Li Han with a bow on his back and a long knife on his waist.

Li Han said in a voice: "my Lord, the army of the garrison suddenly came to the city and gathered the people. They didn't know what to do."

Zheng Xinghuai was surprised and asked, "do the army of Wei Suo gather the common people? Where to assemble and who will lead the army? "

Assemble the people, massacre? Xu Qi'an was awed in his heart, and then he heard Li Han say:

"the people were gathered in the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest. The leader was the commander of Du, the protector of the country. He should be on the south side now. "

Zheng Xinghuai put down his chopsticks, got up and said: "prepare the horse, if I have a look. Tell Mr. Zhu to go with me. "

At that moment, Zheng Xinghuai took his "Keqing" to the South City on horseback. Along the way, he saw the soldiers escorting the people and forming a team. He didn't know where to go.

"Stop, what are you going to do?" Zheng Xinghuai drank heavily.

The brave soldiers looked at him coldly and said nothing.

Zheng Xinghuai asked again, but no one answered.

He felt a sense of foreboding in his heart. Instead of continuing to entangle with the soldiers at the bottom, he whipped his horse and ran along the street to the south of the city.

Following the taxi drivers along the way, Zheng Xinghuai quickly arrived at his destination. He saw the black heads. Roughly speaking, there were more than 100000 people.

There are common people, merchants, and even officials in the Yamen. These people are gathered on a wasteland in Nancheng, rubbing shoulders.

They were surrounded by thousands of soldiers, armed with bows and crossbows.

Zheng Xinghuai glances at que Yongxiu, the commander on horseback, and a dozen secret agents wrapped in black robes around him.

Zheng Xinghuai, the spy of the king of Zhenbei, squinted and said in a deep voice, "what are you doing, Lord Protector?"

"Zheng Buzheng, you are just in time." Que Yongxiu's one eyed, cold look, said: "Mr. Zheng, barbarians repeatedly invade the border, burning, killing and looting, do you know why?"

Zheng Xinghuai didn't understand why he asked. He frowned: "what does this have to do with you gathering the people?"

Que Yongxiu pointed a long gun at more than a hundred thousand people and said with a laugh:

"of course, it has something to do with it. As the people of Dafeng, he devoted himself to the stability of Dafeng's frontier. He threw his head and blood for the great Fengguo. Zheng Buzheng thinks that what I said is reasonable? "

"Inexplicable......"

Zheng Xinghuai was about to scold when he saw que Yongxiu charging at the common people with a clip of horse belly.

"Poof!"

He stabbed a common people's chest with a long gun, raised him high, and spilled blood. The man on the tip of the gun struggled several times, and his limbs drooped.

The scene was in chaos, and the people around screamed, but the people farther away were at a loss because they didn't see the bloody scene.Zheng Xinghuai eyes canthus to crack: "Que Yongxiu, you dare to indiscriminately kill civilians, are you crazy?"

Slaughtering is about to begin..... Xu Qi'an already knows the next plot. Through empathy, he deeply understands Zheng Xinghuai's astonishment and anger at this time.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zheng. It's your turn." Que Yongxiu shakes off the body at the point of the gun and waves his big hand: "shoot the arrow!"

Thousands of Jiashi bend their bows together and aim at the assembled innocent people.

"Whew, whew, whew..."

the overwhelming arrows shot out like locusts and rainstorms.

Every arrow will take away a life, one by one people fall to the ground in the arrow, uttering a cry of despair, life is like grass. This includes the elderly and children.

Those lucky enough to escape the first wave of arrow rain began to flee here, but what was waiting for them was the butcher's knife of elite soldiers. As soldiers of Dafeng, they cut down the people of Dafeng without mercy.

"Help, help..."

"don't kill me, don't kill me."

The people were frightened and knelt down to beg for mercy. They couldn't understand why Dafeng's Army wanted to kill them. Why don't these soldiers guard the frontier, instead of killing the barbarians, wave the butcher's knife at them.

Poof....

the butcher's knife fell down, people fell to the ground and blood spattered.

The soldiers were not half compassionate because they begged for mercy and knelt down.

"What are you doing, asshole? I'm a scholar of Fuxue. I'm a scholar. I'm a scholar. I've killed innocent people. I've committed a terrible crime.... "

a scholar in a blue shirt turned pale, but he bravely stood up in front of the people and yelled at the soldiers.

Not far away, a Shi Chang "Qiang" pulled out his Sabre and stabbed it fiercely into the scholar's chest.

Warm blood flows along the blade, and the scholar stares at him and stares at him....

Xu Qi'an feels his soul shaking. He doesn't know whether it comes from himself or Zheng Xinghuai.

"Kill everyone, leave no survivors." Que Yongxiu raised his spear and yelled.

No one was left alive, including Zheng Buzheng.

Several spies drew out their weapons and killed Zheng Buzheng.

Zhu's transparent fists burst into the air.

A black robed spy did not retreat, but advanced. His fingers were like claws. He stopped the roaring fist force and tore it fiercely. The fist force broke up into a hurricane.

"My Lord, let's go."

After Keqing, surnamed Zhu, left and died, the rest of the bodyguards took Zheng Xinghuai and fled to Zheng's house.

As the horses galloped away, Zheng Xinghuai finally looked back and saw thousands of soldiers bend their bows and shoot hard, arrows pierce the people's bodies; saw soldiers wave their swords and kill a mother who ran away with a child in his arms; saw que Yongxiu standing high on the horse's back, looking at all this coldly.

Life is like grass.

Animal..... Xu Qi'an heard the voice of his heart and couldn't tell whether it was his own, Li Miaozhen's or Zheng Xinghuai's.

The soldiers along the way ignored them, mechanically and numbly repeated the work of escorting the people, driving them to the designated place.

Zheng Xinghuai knew what kind of outcome these people would face and ordered the bodyguards to rescue them several times, but the bodyguards refused and escorted Zheng Xinghuai all the way back to his residence.

"I'm going to gather your bodyguards. Please go to inform your wife and young men. Now get out of the city immediately. Let's kill them." Li Han, with his bow on his back, roared.

Soon, your bodyguards assembled in the front yard. They did not carry any soft weapons except weapons and armor.

"Dad, Dad... What's the matter? Did the barbarian come in?"

Mr. Zheng ran out with his wife. He was pale with fear in his eyes.

"The soldiers in the city mutinied and slaughtered the people, and we were among them. Let's get out of the city quickly." Zheng Xinghuai makes a long story short.

Up to this time, Zheng Xinghuai was confused. He didn't know why que Yongxiu and Zhenbei king wanted to gather people to slaughter, and for what purpose they committed such atrocities.

But officialdom ups and downs for half of his life, he knows that this is not the time to explore the truth, for today's plan is to leave Chuzhou City, out of danger.

The second son of Zheng was almost unable to stand still. His daughter-in-law helped him.

Everyone has long been used to Zheng er's wimp, including Zheng Xinghuai himself.

Under the protection of the bodyguard, the women's family members and children entered the carriage. They rode and ran towards the city gate.

"They're coming." Li Han with the bow on his back roared.

Several black robed spies came after them. They galloped faster than the horses. Li Han turned back, pulled out a powerful bow, and with a bang, the arrows roared away.

The spies are not weak hands. They dodge the arrows one by one and kill them in a flash. They come down from the sky with long knives and chop to the carriage.

"Protect Madame."

Wei Youlong's machete, dressed in purple robe, turned back and blocked the edge of the spy's knife. The air engine exploded, and the carriage creaked on the verge of falling apart.Both sides fought and ran, and soon arrived at the gate of the city.

In front of us, hundreds of strong soldiers are waiting for us. On the wall, more soldiers are waiting.

The commander of the capital, Duke que Yongxiu, who was on horseback, looked at the people who tried to escape from the city and sneered: "Mr. Zheng, you can't escape.

"There are not only elite soldiers on the city wall, but also Tianzi level experts who are carefully cultivated by the king of Zhenbei. No one can escape."

If you can't get out of the gate, there will be a big army and experts to guard. The barbarian army may not be able to attack... Xu Qi'an's heart sank.

He was on the scene, suffering and anxious. Reason told him that these people in the Zheng family could not escape..

Zheng's envoy reined in his horse and asked, "Que Yongxiu, what do you want to do? You can't rebel."

Que Yongxiu said with a grim smile, "it's you mole ants. Why rebel?"

His one eye is full of fierce light. He is cruel and indifferent. He raises his long gun and shouts: "kill!"

Before the wolf, after the tiger, the situation changed to a critical moment. The bodyguards tried their best to protect Zheng Buzheng and his family. However, between life and death, they tried their best to take care of so many ordinary people.

After a round of fighting, the carriage overturned and the women's family members were killed by random knives. Que Yongxiu raised Zheng Xinghuai's little grandson with a long gun and said with a wild smile:

"Mr. Zheng, you boast that you are an honest and upright official, and you don't care about the sand in your eyes. The year before last, regardless of the face of King Huai, you investigated the military field case and killed three of my powerful subordinates on the ground of occupying the military field. Did you ever think that today would happen?

"I will kill your descendants. It's reciprocity. Take it."

He shakes his hand and throws the child's body at Zheng Buzheng, but this is a cover. In Zheng Xinghuai's subconscious negligence, que Yongxiu throws a long gun.

A long gun runs through the body, nailing people to the ground.

But it was not Zheng Xinghuai who died, but the dandy who was afraid of death.

Mr. Zheng Er, a dandy who is afraid of death, raised his pale face and sobbed: "Dad, I'm in pain, I'm afraid of..."

he is still a useless dandy who has already married and established his business, but he will still cry to his father.

But this useless waste, who is greedy for life and afraid of death, pushes his father away at the critical moment and blocks the long gun with his body, without blinking an eye.

He is afraid of his father, he is submissive, but in his heart, his father should be a sky above his head, more important than anything.

Xu Qi'an suddenly felt the tears blurred his vision, and his eyes were burning. He subconsciously wanted to stretch out his hand to wipe his tears. Then he thought that he was just a spectator, and Zheng Xinghuai was the one who really shed tears.

The end of empathy here, the picture fragmented, Xu Qian eyes of the final frame, is que Yongxiu ferocious smile.

......

he awoke abruptly, opened his eyes, and heard Zheng Xinghuai's wailing voice. He recalled the scene of his family's tragic death so clearly that Zheng Buzheng's mood collapsed and the empathy ended ahead of time.

After a long time, Zheng Xinghuai wiped away his tears carefully, his eyes turned red, and arched his hand to say:

"I have lost my manners."

"Sorry."

Later, the breath of the seven fists came out

Li Han, with a hard bow on his back, said in a deep voice: "we sacrificed two sipins to get out of the city. Then we kept hiding, secretly contacted the chivalrous people and tried to expose the conspiracy of the king of Zhenbei."

So, in addition to Zheng Xinghuai, his family all died in Chuzhou City...... Xu Qi'an glanced at everyone and whispered, "I'll go out and be quiet."

The air here is extremely dull, and the carbon dioxide produced by the campfire is extremely uncomfortable. Xu Qi'an is a little bit stuffy.

Ignoring the expression of the crowd, he turned and walked to the entrance of the cave, pushed aside the sheltered branches and went out.

Standing in the valley, breathing the cool air, he found that chest tightness had nothing to do with the air. It was the stagnation of Qi that made it difficult to calm down, the difficulty of breathing and the difficulty of feeling comfortable.

Soft footsteps came from behind.

"I'm going to Chuzhou City." Li Miaozhen whispered.

Hate is silent, her calm face can not see anger, her eyes are full of firmness.

"I'm going to visit Chuzhou City. Anger will only destroy my sense. Before we go, let's sort out our thoughts and take a fresh look at the blood slaughter case." Xu Qi'an broke off a dead branch and bit it in his mouth, saying:

"the purpose of Zhenbei King slaughtering the city is to refine the blood essence and attack the second grade, but refining the blood essence takes time, so he chose to slaughter Chuzhou City and hide it from everyone with his thinking inertia of darkness under the light.

"I intercepted the spy of Zhenbei king before and asked about the situation. The spy didn't know the place where Zhenbei King slaughtered the people. According to Zheng Buzheng's memory, there were many soldiers and spies who participated in the massacre."

Li Miaozhen frowned and said, "you mean that those soldiers and spies are very likely to have their memories modified."

Xu Qi'an nodded: "it's also possible that they don't know what they've done. No matter what, they can't do it. Therefore, zhenbeiwang also has helpers, and the top strong of other systems are helping him."The strong man even has the ability to make Chuzhou City" as it is ", but I'm not sure which system it is. The northern border was infiltrated by many barbarians. They were all investigating the matter. The king of Zhenbei must know. He either stopped refining blood essence, or he had no fear. In this way, with our strength, it is difficult to make a difference.

"Miaozhen, I need you to pass on the message, to the barbarians, to the demons."

Li Miaozhen nodded. She can fly with the sword and is very suitable for delivering messages.

Xu Qi'an met her eyes and said, "I'm here to protect Mr. Zheng. When you come back, we'll go to Chuzhou City together."

Li Miaozhen was relieved: "be sure to wait for me."

"It's not too late. Go quickly."

"Good."

Li Miaozhen summoned the flying sword and jumped onto the ridge of the sword. She stood in the air.

When Xu Qi'an returned to the grottoes, Zheng Buzheng and others looked at him. He said in a deep voice, "Mr. Zheng, you are waiting for my news."

Zheng Buzheng seemed to be aware of something and asked, "what are you going to do?"

"Go to Chuzhou and investigate the case."

There is nothing wrong with this. Zheng Buzheng and others nodded slightly.

Xu Qi'an glanced at them and said: "several chivalrous men protect Mr. Zheng. I admire you. It's interesting and desirable to have heroes like you in the world.

"Xu assures you that he will punish the murderers severely and return justice to the people of Chuzhou."

Zheng Xinghuai got up and arched his hand: "in this way, I will die without regret."

Li Han and others bow their hands: "death without regret."

In the early morning, Xu Qi'an went to a small county to find the Best Inn in the area.

After paying for the money and asking for a bucket of water, Xu Qi'an closes the door, takes out the fragments of the book and shakes her hand. The Sleeping Princess falls on the soft bed.

"Wake up..."

Xu Qi'an patted her on the face and suddenly remembered that the woman had been intoxicated by herself. She immediately crossed the air blower and forced her to wake up.

The princess opens her eyes in a murmur, and her lax pupils slowly recover their focus. She looks at Xu Qi'an blankly. For a few seconds, her face suddenly becomes stiff, and she shrinks to the foot of the bed like a little rabbit.

As he looked at himself, he turned around and cried, "what have you done to me?"

The eyes are big and round, making a fierce gesture, but it gives people the feeling of fierce.

Seeing her, Xu Qi'an wanted to laugh. He felt peaceful and shrugged: "I didn't do anything to you. I just let you sleep."

"I don't believe it. If you knock me out, you must be plotting against me." She's in the airway.

Hello, you too, to the young age, if the child bedroom has been broken into by the gangsters, will not make complaints about it? Xu Qian thought in his heart, "

," I go out for a while, you examine yourself.

He waited at the door for a moment, until the voice of the young princess came: "Xu's surname?"

Xu Qi'an pushed the door in.

The princess sat on the dresser and combed her hair. She turned her head and glared at him with her spare light

Continue to gaze at yourself in the mirror and concentrate on combing your hair.

It seems that I have determined that I am still a complete melon, and my anger has gone down a lot.

Xu Qi'an picked up the bucket, poured water into the copper basin, and then mixed a bottle of red liquid medicine. He buried his whole face in it, and kept rubbing, rubbing.

About a quarter of an hour later, Xu Qi'an's face was hot. When he raised his face again, he was changed.

He is handsome enough to stir up the party. He is ashamed of Gu Tianle. He is the only beautiful man in the world. Xu Qian thinks so.

He pushed away the princess and looked at the familiar face in the mirror, suddenly lost.

After a while, he murmured: "long time no see..."

the princess looked at him and nodded slowly: "who are you? It's a very ordinary appearance, but it's very suitable for lurking. "

With that, she saw Xu Qi'an kill heavily inclined his eyes.

What do you know about handsome? Xu Qi'an didn't go to see the princess who had walked around in hell. She said faintly, "I'm going to investigate the case. It's not convenient to take you with me, so I'm going to take this bad strategy."

After a pause, he said in a deep voice: "the king of Zhenbei slaughtered Chuzhou City."

Patta!

When the comb fell to the ground, the princess came back to herself. Her face was full of horror and grief. She unconsciously lowered her voice: "Chu, Chuzhou City?"

No matter who hears the news, they don't believe it.

The princess is no exception.

Xu Qi'an gave a brief description of Zheng Xinghuai.

The princess murmured: "although I don't like him, and I hate that their brothers trade me as goods, I still admire him in my heart. He is the first person in Dafeng's martial arts. He has been guarding the frontier for more than ten years for Dafeng people....

"I'm wrong. He's selfish. He didn't guard the frontier for the people, just because Dafeng belonged to their family and was not allowed to be plundered by outsiders."Similarly, in their eyes, the common people are goods, which can be traded and sacrificed. When they need them, they can sacrifice without hesitation."

She had long known that the king of Zhenbei slaughtered the people. She just heard Xu Qi'an mention the process of slaughtering the city. For a moment, she couldn't help it.

The atrocity of the king of Zhenbei is unforgivable, and the Duke of protecting the country que Yongxiu should be cut to pieces. However, he is not only the third grade warrior, but also the prince of Dafeng. Who can punish him?

Who can make him plead guilty?

At this time, she heard Xu Qi'an say: "I'm going to leave for a few days, you stay in the inn, don't go anywhere."

With that, Xu Qi'an put the fragments of the book on the table, "you can keep it for me for a few days."

Once monk Shenshu let go of his fists and feet, all the items on his body will be at risk, including clothes.

The fragment of the book is very important. He didn't want to let the princess see it. His best plan is to give it to Li Miaozhen, but the princess is still sleeping in it. She is not an object and can't stay in the book all the time.

In order not to let the first beauty of Dafeng die without food, he can only do this. Fortunately, the princess is a silly girl with little knowledge. The fragments of the book may be just a rough hand-made mirror for her.

The princess did not look at the jade mirror, staring at him: "where are you going?"

At this moment, Xu Qi'an's mind flashed over the common people who fell like weeds, the scholar who was cut into his chest by a knife, the mother who ran away with her child but was killed, the child who was provoked by a gun, and Zheng er's son who was nailed to the ground......

"as I said, I'm going to punish the king of Zhenbei. He doesn't deserve the blood essence. I'm going to make him, as well as the Duke of protecting the country, pay for Yongxiu. "

Xu Qi'an calmly looked at him, his face was not angry, but his eyes were very firm: "I want to go to Chuzhou."

The princess looked into his eyes and knew that she could not stop the man. She bit her lip and said in a soft voice, "you want to come back, you, you promise me."

"Good."

Xu Qi'an nodded, got up and walked towards the door.

"Xu Qian."

She yelled, as if not at ease. She got up in a hurry, knocked over the stool, chased out a few steps, and summoned up courage: "young chivalrous, make friends with wuduxiong. Liver and gallbladder cavity, hair towering. In Li's talks, life and death are the same, and a promise is of great importance. "

A promise is a promise, so you must come back.

...

carrying Tianshan Mountain.

The bugle "Wuwu" played.

Twenty thousand elite cavalry of Qingyan tribe gathered in the plain at the foot of the mountain. They rode on the first one horned, scaly horses and waved machetes.

In the sound of the horn, overlooking the towering palace.

Boom, boom, boom...

heavy footsteps came from the distance. The two foot tall blue giant stepped out of the palace, and each foot caused a slight tremor. In his hand, he dragged a giant that ordinary people could not use, dragging a deep gully on the ground.

The cavalry of Qingyan Department silently watched their leader. The scene was silent, only heavy footsteps.

The blue giant raised his heavy sword and roared: "in the city of Chuzhou."

"In Chuzhou City."

"In Chuzhou City."

The cavalry of Qingyan raised their machetes, waved them and roared.

a mountain valley.

Standing on the edge of the cliff, the white warlock with fuzzy face looked down. The valley was shrouded in the dense fog that never disperses all the year round.

"Candle nine."

As the white warlock's voice falls, the thick fog suddenly boils, like a woman's dancing gossamer.

In the layers of fog, a shadow came quickly and stopped in front of the white Warlock.

The thick fog dispersed. It was a huge snake head, red and scaleless, with a closed one eyed forehead.

Its high body is as high as a mountain peak. In front of it, the white Warlock is as small as a mole ant.

It is said that in ancient times, there was a demon who ruled the extremely cold area in the north. He had only one eye, no scales and red. He opened his eyes for the day and closed his eyes for the night.

The leader of the northern demon clan, Zhu Jiu, is the descendant of the demon.

"In Chuzhou City." The white warlock said with a smile.

The vertical eyes of the giant snake's forehead suddenly opened, and a golden light burst into the sky, which could be seen dozens of miles away.

...

on the steep cliff, the charming woman, who is deeply rooted in Panasonic, reaches out her hand and slips her sleeve, revealing her white lotus arm.

The Black Hawk hovering in the sky pounced down and landed on the woman's Lotus arm, spewing out: "the man came the news, in Chuzhou City."

The beautiful woman in the white skirt said with a smile: "it seems that he not only wants the blood essence, but also the life of the king of Zhenbei. Pass my order, all demon soldiers, attack Chuzhou City. "
