Records of the King of Xin'an County

The cold night was quiet, and the bloody fights again and again were almost silent.The stumped limbs were broken, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the screams and wailing were quickly submerged in the rain of swords and arrows, so severe that no one was left alive.In front of him is no longer a battlefield of hand-to-hand combat, but Shura Hell—just a hundred miles away, but it is the brightly lit Chang'an that never sleeps.

Death and life, blood and laughter, cruelty and festiveness, the contrast is so sharp that it is reflected in the hearts of the onlookers like a brand.

The immature elite soldiers could not keep the Prince of Hejian.No matter how brave they are, their Mo Dao wields lack the arrogance of the battlefield, let alone the ruthlessness and coldness that they possess after a life-and-death contest.They don't know how to injure their opponents instantly at the slightest cost, and they don't have the killing instinct that comes from fighting for their lives.They are like a group of sheep with long horns, even if they give up the slight timidity in their hearts and bend down to attack, they can't resist the sharp teeth of hungry wolves.

The people watching from a distance couldn't bear to watch, and turned their eyes away.Only Wang Zixian stared at Hejian County King steadfastly, glanced at the movements of his subordinates, and suddenly said: "Ten miles back, go around to the forest on the mountain."

He originally thought that killing the King of Hejian County near Chang'an was almost a piece of cake for the saint.After all, no matter how powerful the king of Hejian County is, it is impossible to collude with the sixteen guards of the capital.Otherwise, why would he be so afraid of entering Beijing?Even at the risk of resorting to tricks?Unexpectedly, the difference between the elites from fighting in the frontier and the elites from An Yi's military training could reach such a degree.

A part could not hold back his temper, and asked in a low voice: "Ah Lang, why can't we help those government soldiers? Before dawn, the people on both sides are also dressed like us, even if we rushed over, They may not recognize whether we are the reinforcements of the government or other people! Just watching those beasts kill people like this is really aggrieved!"

"Reinforcements are coming from both sides, we may not be able to reap the benefits." The prince replied, looking up at the full moon to the west.It was almost full moon, and the moonlight and the snow were shining together. If he got closer, his identity would be exposed.Of course, it is not impossible to give it a try, but it is necessary to find the right time.

The trilogy were startled, and when they looked carefully again, they saw dozens of burly men dressed as bandits rushing out of the nearby mountains, holding their machetes and beheading the soldiers who were still struggling to kill the enemy.At the same time, two or three hundred people galloped forward from the trail at the other end, and the rain of arrows fell in unison, taking away the lives of many enemies in an instant.This group of new soldiers was obviously more experienced, and they had perfect timing when using the crossbow and shooting bows and arrows, and they gained the upper hand with just one encounter.

Surrounded by his subordinates, King Hejian turned his horse and fled towards the mountains, leaving corpses all over the ground.The new army soldiers left several people behind to treat the wounded, and immediately chased after them.Wang Zixian suddenly asked: "Which of you went to Yinchan Temple with Luo Niang and Xiang Niang last time? Have you seen those bandits who killed Guizheng County King?"

"Someone has seen it!" Several parts responded immediately.

"I suspect that those who came to meet King Hejian were those thieves who pretended to be bandits. They know the terrain around Nanshan and Qinling very well. If they escaped, they would definitely bring King Hejian to safety. Go back to Shengzhou. There are four of you in total: one of you went to the manor in Shangzhou and brought some people to patrol around the Qinling Post Road; Detour to Xiazhou and return to Shengzhou."

"One person returns to the manor just now, and when the time comes, lead the way for Cheng Qing or Du Chongfeng; the other person returns to Chang'an and reports to Xuan Qi, the situation is serious..." At this point, Wang Zixian squinted his eyes, "Maybe the net in Jingzhao Mansion, It may not be possible to keep Prince Hejian, let him decide what to do."

——————————————————————————————————————

As the sky was approaching, the dazzling lights in Chang'an City gradually dimmed, and the endless stream of people finally dispersed slowly.Li Hui waited for the part to report the news, but he didn't seem surprised.

He looked in the direction of Hejian County Prince's Mansion from a distance, and ordered: "I'm going out of Beijing. All matters in Beijing will be left to Brother for the time being. By the way, tell Yue Niang to be careful about tonight's banquet with her aunt... "Since the damned person is not dead, the fake king and Li Ren are the living evidence of deceiving the king, and there is no room for loss.

At the same time, in a certain manor on the outskirts of Nanshan, Cheng Qing woke up from a nap, and said lazily, "What? It's been a night, and Du Chongfeng hasn't persuaded that old stubborn yet?" He sighed, stepped on his clogs, Putting on a fur coat, he staggered out and said, "Poor disciples all over the world, since I can't persuade you, I have to be the villain. Otherwise, no one can bear the consequences of something bad."

That is the sin of devastation, even if he thinks he is not a good person, he doesn't want to be stained with this kind of blood debt.Of course, since some culprits are able to commit heinous crimes, they should also have the awareness to bear the consequences.Winning may not be able to live forever, but at least one can win the honor of the most noble and supreme in the world; losing will leave a bad reputation for thousands of years, and eternal life will be engraved with shame.

Seeing that he was about to leave the hospital in a few steps, Sun Jinniang hurriedly told him the words from Buqu.He tilted his head, and was about to comment on the bad luck of Wang Zixian, when he saw a ray of cold light in the corner out of the corner of his eye, he immediately took a few steps back to avoid an arrow shot from behind.Sun Jinniang was startled, but before she could react, she was pushed aside by him and hid behind the wooden door.But Ah Yuan in the room immediately bowed back, and then a dead body fell on the big tree outside the courtyard.

"It was a mess last night, and time was tight. A Lang didn't clean it up completely, so he took people away." Sun Jinniang frowned, "Mr. Cheng Lang, don't rush to see Du Shishilang and that Mr. Zhou, hurry up and leave the house." It is only serious to keep the manor clean. Otherwise, if one and a half people escaped and told the news to King Hejian, it would be a waste of time."

"I thought that this is the end of the matter, and I don't need to do any more careful work..." Cheng Qing sighed again, "But I didn't expect that the situation was obviously good, and the Hejian County King could turn the situation around? Tsk tsk, so I am Or do I have to go to Shengzhou? Come on, come on, if King Hejian dies in Jingzhao Mansion, I won't be able to earn any credit. No way, maybe this is the opportunity to earn merit?"

After thinking it over, Prince Cheng immediately became energetic.He led three or five parts to search the manor carefully, and found a few slightly injured people hiding in the corner, tied them up and locked them in the ice cellar.While checking the grain cellars and wine cellars one by one, he fought with the people who were hiding and killed several people.After a lot of hard work, Fang cleaned up the manor thoroughly and replaced it with his own people.

At this time, Du Chongfeng and Mr. Zhou Jiyan, the master and apprentice, had already reached an impasse.One persuaded him to no avail, while the other kept his eyes shut from beginning to end.Du Chongfeng even felt that it was because he came to persuade Mr. Zhou that he was so stubborn that he was reluctant to calm down and think carefully about the gains and losses.Rather than saying that they are masters and apprentices, it is better to say that they are family members who have parted ways.How much we used to trust each other, but now we are so disappointed.

"Sir, is a lord who has no loving heart and can abandon his own son in the blink of an eye, worth serving? Is a rebellious courtier who colludes with foreign enemies worth serving?! When I was young, Mr. taught me etiquette, integrity, and family integrity." , I remember every word in my heart, could it be that Mr. Cheng has forgotten all about it?!"

"..." Mr. Zhou's eyelids trembled slightly, but he was still silent. At some point, his skinny body straightened up, as stubborn as ever.

Du Chongfeng stared at him steadfastly, feeling his throat was on fire, and he was so hoarse that he could no longer utter a single word.However, what made him even more disappointed was that no matter how much he moved with emotion and reason, Mr. Zhou ignored him.It seems that there is nothing left between their master and apprentice except the difference in Taoism.The worry and anger churning in his chest gradually subsided at this time, as if the ashes after burning slowly cooled down the temperature.

The brazier in the corner had already been extinguished, but he was as dull as if he felt the bone-chilling cold just now.Moreover, but in an instant, the coldness froze the ashes that had burned out in my heart.This made him suddenly miss the person who seemed to be able to warm people up anytime and anywhere, and made him eager to return to that person.

At this moment, the door squeaked softly, and the person he was thinking of suddenly appeared in this way—he rushed in almost impatiently, frowned, took off his cloak, and covered him: "In Stayed in this cold place all night, you guys can really survive!!"

The warm cloak instantly conveyed the temperature of the other person to the bottom of Du Chongfeng's heart.He was startled, his expression slightly relaxed, and he said in a low voice, "Why are you here?"

The person who walked up to him stretched out his hand and easily pulled him up from the ground: "The only thing that can make you sad is this stubborn Mr. Zhou? I guess it might not be easy for you this time. The lamp is meaningless, so I came to look for you. If this manor was not hidden too secretively, maybe I could have come earlier..."

In short, he got lost along the way.Du Chongfeng couldn't help smiling slightly, and was about to ask who helped him out of his troubles, when another person walked in slowly with the faint light cast by the rising sun: "Since Mr. Zhou doesn't want to listen to Du Shishilang's persuasion, Can I take the time to listen to Gu Yi's words? Or, to argue with Gu Yi?"

Those who can call themselves "solitary" are certainly not ordinary people.Mr. Zhou opened his eyes and looked around, but for a moment he couldn't see the appearance of the young man against the light.It wasn't until he stepped in and closed the door that he recognized the Prince Xin'an in front of him.

So, Mr. Zhou finally said: "Your Majesty is really loyal to the saint. Even if you are only newly married for a few days, you are willing to leave your family and go deep into the 'enemy's nest'. It is really rare." The words did not hide the meaning of sarcasm.

Li Hui raised the corners of his lips: "How can we tell when and when to share worries for a saint? My family members have always been upright, and they must know better than Mr. Zhou what it means to be a family, a country and a world, and what it means to be loyal to the emperor and love the people." Of course, the key point is that his family members He has already gone out to chase the enemy, how can he, the head of the family, lag behind?

"Overstepping one's duty and meddling in matters that should not be meddled, won't Your Majesty worry about the future?"

"For the time being, Gu only looks at the present, there is no need for Mr. Zhou to worry about Gu."
