Neither Ye Fusheng nor Chu Xiwei knew anything about the name "Mu Qingshang".

The eight masters have been well-known in the arena for a long time, and Mu Qingshang, the master of the Poyun Sword of "One Sword Breaks Clouds and Opens the World", is even at the top of the list. Whether it is his early fame or his later foul name, it is all martial arts. There is a forbidden zone in the hearts of people in the middle. Some people hate it, some sigh, and even more people yearn for it.

Ye Fusheng has listened to many versions of the legend since he was a child, and Chu Xiwei has also read various statements in the intelligence. It is precisely because of the divergent opinions that "Mu Qingshang" has been distorted in the legend, and with the passage of time, everything has changed. No one can say it clearly.

Until today, they heard an unknown "Mu Qingshang" from Isar.

Isar led them into a secret room. There were precious gold, jade and porcelain on the sandalwood shelf, the four treasures of the study were placed on the phoebe wooden table, and a few literati pens and inks and a jade were hung on the wall. Xiao, no matter how you look at it, is the decoration of the Central Plains study.

Ye Fusheng's gaze fell on one of the paintings. The paper was made of Tianshan antelope skin and carefully mounted with gold shaft and jade xuan. It was only because the years were too long that it had turned yellow.

The picture shows a woman in a gorgeous dress with a silk-breasted brocade dress, a shisha gauze with auspicious clouds, her long hair in a recurring bun, embellished with agate Huasheng and emerald jade, her vermilion lips smile, and her autumn eyes His eyes were painted amber, with a red cinnabar mole at the corner of his eye. Even though the painting paper is no longer white, it still does not damage the beauty of the person in the painting.

Ye Fusheng is naturally not a beauty who has never seen grace and nobility. When he was in the palace, he was responsible for protecting Chu Ziyu's safety. He often went in and out of the harem with him. A single portrait of a palace-dressed beauty was not enough to make him lose consciousness.

The reason for his astonishment was that the people in the painting were so familiar and familiar. Before he could think of a reason, Chu Xiwei read the inscription: "July 24, 15th year of Hongyuan." /

"Hongyuan" is the last reign of the former dynasty, but the former dynasty was destroyed in the 14th year of Hongyuan. How come 15 years?

Isar opened the mouth at the right time: "The person in the painting is my biological mother Helian Shahua, and the person who painted the painting is her former husband, Mu Zening."

Ye Fusheng's face suddenly changed.

He didn't know "Helian Shahua", but he had heard of the name "Muzening"-a former royal clan genealogy sealed in the highest part of the case clan in the Tianjing Shadow Guards.

In the previous dynasty, it was originally a foreign race entering the customs. The roots are Anle, one of the four major countries outside the Southwest Guan. Since entering the Central Plains, they have used savage rituals to challenge the traditional customs and ideological culture of China and Turkey. Both sides are in chaos. The stalemate lasted for two years, and finally the previous concessions began to implement Sinicization. The two sides gradually merged in friction. The royal family set an example and adopted a Chinese name. The original "Mute" surname took the homophony and named it "Mu".

Mu Zening was the last prince of the former royal family.

In the year of the change of dynasty, the great ancestors of Great Chu led his army to the city. The ancestors of the previous dynasty were honored or died in battle or surrendered. The rest retreated to the palace and burned the palace with a fire, and they also turned themselves into scorched earth. Withered bones.

Gu Zheng, the first Glimpse Commander who assisted Gaozu at that time, personally handled the funeral, and counted the corpses and residues from the ruins. They were all recorded in white and black. However, the corpses of the royal family were burned beyond recognition. Judging from the remnants of the body and the identification of the survivors of the clan, it is not possible to completely determine their identity.

If someone moved flowers and trees, it's still unknown.

"At that time, there were three major clans in Anle, one is Mute, the other is Saber, and the third is Helian." Isar said lightly, "The three clans have been fighting for power for a long time, and then Mute became the master of the Central Plains. Became the'Mu' royal family, and Sabo still stayed outside the customs. The Helian family changed their attitude. While providing assistance, while seeking benefits by in-laws, they became inextricably entangled for decades. The strongest foreign relatives in the court."

Chu Xi squinted her eyes slightly: "If my relative sits on a large scale, the clan can sit and watch?"

The person who answered him was Ye Fusheng: “Since ancient times, the clan’s clan’s fear of foreign relatives’ involvement in politics must have a prerequisite that their own strength is sufficient to suppress the other party. As far as I know, although the former imperial family defeated the country, it was also weakened by the war. Two generations later, there are not many people who can stand alone in the military, politics, and industry. In the Hongyuan period, the last emperor of the previous dynasty had only one son and one daughter. In addition to internal and external troubles, even if he was afraid of his foreign relatives seizing power, he had to use it. The power of Herien."

Chu Xiwei's eyes were cold: "So, when the palace was on fire, the people of Helian secretly rescued Mu Zening."

Isar nodded: "As the prince, Mu Zening married the eldest daughter of the Helian family as a concubine. From the perspective of the Helian family, he is still worthwhile."

Ye Fusheng rubbed his chin: "Value...refers to using him as a puppet to rectify the flag. When he returns to Anle, he will summon the Mute people and their vassal tribes and prepare to make a comeback?"

The fifteenth year of Hongyuan inscribed by Mu Zening on the painting was supposed to be the first year of Chu, but he was never reconciled to lose the throne that should have belonged to him like this, overlooking the Central Plains in the wind and sand outside the Guan, Still thinking about returning to that prosperous and vast place one day.

Isar twitched his lips: "Unfortunately he has this heart, but he doesn't have this life."

The former imperial clan abused Afurong, and Mu Zening was also infected with this terrible thing. Later, the country was destroyed and her family was destroyed. He changed from love to hatred to the bone, and it took him a year to force himself Quit this thing.

However, his body was already defeated when he was smoking Aphrodite, and then he contracted an illness during a long flight, and experienced a painful withdrawal from addiction. He changed from a good man to skinny, although he succeeded in carrying it. After Afurong's erosion, she completely destroyed herself. After half a year, she died and was buried in Anle.

When Mu Zening died, Helen Shahua had just been pregnant for three months.

"My mother hates these powerful secret fights. She is neither willing to stay in the Muth clan as a famous princess nor return to the Helian family. She knows in her heart that these people are so committed It's just the royal blood in her womb. To save her life, she can't have an abortion, but for freedom she can't raise this child." Isar looked at the painting with a long gaze, "So she gave birth to a child obediently and nursed her carefully. However, he escaped from the chaos at the Hundred Days Banquet and left the child in Anle. He traveled a long distance with the caravan and finally came to Jiuyao City, remarried to the city lord, and gave birth to me two years later."

Chu Xiwei was startled.

Although he has been tossing and turning for ten years in the blood and blood, he has seen more mother-child relationships of all kinds and colors in the world, but from his own point of view, Princess Jing Tang Zhiyin loves him like her life; from the world, Zhao Bingmo Wait for Xuan Su to be sincere.

Therefore, when he heard Helian Shahua’s escape from his son, he could understand it intellectually, but he could not agree with it emotionally.

Ye Fusheng suddenly said: "That kid is Mu Qingshang?"

Isar didn't answer, his face turned to tell him the answer.

When Mu Qingshang was born, he had some congenital deficiencies. Without breastfeeding, he still had to face the internal struggles in Anle State without breastfeeding, and it was not easy to raise him.

The only way to feed him is the Gu technique of the Helian family.

Therefore, after a dispute between the Helians and the Mute tribe, they compromised with each other. The Mute stayed in Anle and merged into Sabo, while the Helians took Muqing merchants to Mizongling, in the southwest. The border area communicates with the two parties. On the one hand, they can pay attention to the situation in the Central Plains, and on the other hand, they can keep in touch with the outside world. It also allows the child to cut off the prying eyes of other forces and grow up according to their plan under the nose.

He was just two years old when he was planted with "Longevity Gu".

Gu worms can heal his five internal organs meridians, making a frail and sickly child grow up to be no different from an ordinary child. However, the gu worm is refined by a blood sacrifice, and it is extremely fierce in itself, even if there are Helian’s special care and long-term decoctions The control also planted a deformed seed in the child.

The Helian family only wants to use him, not really want to raise him, as long as he lives in control, he is foolproof.

But who are born as human beings, how many people are born to learn to be submissive?

"Mu Qingshang disappeared in Mizongling when he was nine years old." Isar turned around, "Mizongling is the residence of the Helian family, not to mention the sky and the earth, but also ambush on all sides. A year-old child can’t go out unless someone takes him away, and an insider has to cover him... What exactly was it, I was still young at the time and I didn’t know it. I only knew that Helian after the disappearance of Mu Qingshang The family killed all the servants who looked after him, and then contacted the Mute tribe to conduct a secret search in Central Plains and Guanwai. Unfortunately, nothing was found."

After a pause, he looked at the token in his hand and said: "Until forty-seven years ago, my mother had her 50th birthday. Jiuyao City celebrated all night, and Mu Qingshang also appeared here."

On that day, Isar was still a young man who was not as weak as the crown. He brought the sand fox he had just hunted into the backyard to celebrate Helian Shahua's birthday, but he ran into her talking to a man in white.

The man looks about the same age as Isar, dressed as a swordsman in the Central Plains in white clothes. Isar didn’t know how he got past the guards and entered the backyard, nor did he know why his mother had to hold back the man and leave him alone. , And don't know why she couldn't cry at this person.

The white-clothed man stood upright and silent, like a poplar tree in the desert, but he knew that Isar had been spotted before he reached the door and had to bite the bullet and walk in.

He came, and the white-clothed man turned and left. Instead, Helian Shahua ran after him, crying with tears regardless of makeup, and took out three tokens from his girdle and just stuffed them into the man's hand.

Isar recognized that it was a private order from Helensava.

"It's natural that you don't want to recognize me; but if I know that you are still alive, I have to make up for you, otherwise I will feel uneasy and I won't look down upon death." Helian Shahua pulled the sleeve of the man. Said, "Whether you think I'm hypocritical or arrogant, I have to consider myself. There is always nothing wrong with multiple back paths."

At that time, Isar was confused, and the white-clothed man stopped for a moment, took the token and walked away. When he chased out the door, he could only see the yellow sand rolling, and the man disappeared.

"I asked my mother'who is he', and she didn't hide it from me. She told me these things one by one and made me swear." Isar rubbed the ruby ​​on the token with her fingertips. "My father is not a son of mine, but she can manage to make me his most important son and take over the position of the city lord in the future."

Helian Shahua has beauty and scheming minds, and has tossed between the royal family and the Anle tribe in the previous dynasty. Who can compare with her wrist in the charming wife and concubine in the city lord's mansion?

She was just tired of fighting.

Ye Fusheng's eyes fell on the token and said: "She did it, so as a price, you have to do something for the person holding the token."

"I promised her that if someone enters Jiuyao with this order, I will do three things for them. As long as they don't damage the foundation of Jiuyao, I will not hesitate to do my best." Isar hooked his mouth." Since then, I have been paying attention to the news of'Mu Qingshang', watching him challenge the world's masters to prove the swordsmanship and martial arts, and when the sun is in full swing, he sealed his sword and retired, becoming a famous figure outside the Central Plains, and then..."

"Then, looking at him thirty-four years ago because of "A Thousand Tribulations", he became a heroic gentleman who was praised by everyone into a madman who crossed the street and shouted and beaten him." Chu Xiwei is a hundred ghosts. Lord, it is better for Ye Fusheng to understand the secrets of the court, but know more about the anecdotes of the world than him, and then tells about the future development.

Ye Fusheng frowned slightly.

Isar sighed and said: "The relationship between the foreign race outside the Guan and the Central Plains is inherently delicate. He can ride into the city alone to ask for help, but I can't take the initiative to take people to the southwest border to rescue him, but..."

As soon as this turning point occurred, Ye Fusheng's heart jumped: "But what?"

Isar recalled the past and said: "However, I did not wait until he came to seek asylum with the order, but his disciple, Mu Yanan came."

Hearing this name, Ye Fusheng and Chu Xiwei's expressions changed!

Isar didn’t notice their abnormality. Because the matter was too long ago, he carefully recalled for a while before speaking again: “He claimed to be a personal disciple of Mu Qingshang, and he also brought a letter from his teacher and a The token, I had the physical evidence in hand, and saw that his martial arts skills and behavior were similar to Mu Qingshang, so I believed that person’s words."

Ye Fusheng's voice turned cold: "What's written in the letter?"

"The letter was written by the merchants of Mu Qing. It said that I was hunted and killed by the various schools in the Central Plains, so I asked my disciple Chen Cang to come here to find me for help. I asked me to send a man to the southwest border in seven days. Gui Cry Stream responds to him." After a pause, Isar's face turned cold. "I did what I said, but the person who was sent out exposed the hiding place for no reason before the agreed time, and was outraged by the Da Chu border army and martial arts people. During the encirclement and suppression, only a few people came back, and even the shadow of Mu Qingshang was not seen."

Chu Xiwei's pair of apricot-core eyes suddenly widened at this moment.

As the successor of Jinghong Dao, he has been very concerned about the affairs of the eight masters since he entered the Hundred Ghosts. Although the reigning storm that the Poyun Sword Master set off in the past was whitewashed and peaceful, under the light, there is still undercurrent surging. Chu Xiwei had read the relevant information word by word, and knew that many people were suspicious of the murderous crimes committed in the early Shang Dynasty in Muqing, and they really made a joint pursuit because of another incident-an affair with outside the customs. , Related to the clan of the former dynasty.

Because the age is too long and the information is no longer complete, Chu Xiwei doesn't know how this statement came about, but knows that after that, all the people who had argued for Mu Qingshang stopped talking and worked for themselves. Punish the culprit.

Mu Qingshang’s few explanations, which were rare in Shang Dynasty, were thus obliterated by thousands of people.

He fled to the southwest with thousands of miles of hunting and killing. He wanted to find the Wuxiang Temple to prove his innocence, but before the rebuttal began, there was news from Xiling—a dark guest in the end of Rong Mo sneaked into the ghost crying stream, intending to meet the demon. turn off.

If Isar did not send anyone there at the time, maybe things would not be so troublesome that there is no room for change; if he did not believe in Mu Yanan and did not believe in the letter, maybe Mu Qingshang would not even have the final escape cut off.

Isar's kindness has become an ironclad proof of Mu Qingshang's collusion with foreign races. When the news came, Mu Qingshang knew that no matter what he said, no one would believe it, nor would anyone dare to believe it.

Finally, the dark guest at the end of Rongmo was driven back outside the pass, and Mu Qingshang jumped off the cliff of deep river.

The legend of a sword breaking the cloud fell in that night, and since then, it has been broken to pieces.

"After the accident, I knew I was deceived, but when I sent someone to find'Mu Yan'an', he had transformed into a Helianyu." Isar raised his eyes, "I have lived in Jiuyao for a long time, except Outside of Mu Qingshang, he did not pay attention to the news of the Central Plains. Only then did he realize that the Helian family had been split in the internal struggle and was replaced by the Palace of Soul Burial, and he became a pivotal person in it."

Ye Fusheng's hands were clenched into fists unknowingly, Chu Xiwei gently opened his fingers, smoothed the marks on the palms, and asked: "Since you know who he is, why not help Mu Qingshang Revenge?"

Isar looked at him steadily, and did not speak, but Ye Fusheng spoke suddenly.

He is a person who loves to laugh, but he can't laugh at this time, even his voice is a little hoarse and trembling——

"Because Mu Qingshang is still alive."

He remembered that 20 years ago, when he was a child, he was lying on his wife’s back and weaving all her long hair with splashes of ink into a mess of twists. The teacher was not angry, so she only held back his hand to prevent the child from falling. , Holding a pen in the right hand to declare, write a line of correct Taoism.

At that time, Master Gu Qifang was sitting next to him holding a jug of wine, his eyes turned into crescent smiles: "You really look like a mother like this, quiet and careful."

Duan Qing glanced at her unhappily, grabbing the hip flask with his free left hand, and said: "Drink more and hurt your body."

Gu Xiao was less than ten years old at the time, but Gu Qifang used the word book for enlightenment to develop a head of gossip and blinked his eyes and asked: "Master, did you really grab it?"

After finishing the pen, Gu Qifang patted his thigh and smiled: "I want to, but he won't let it...but it's not far from it. I picked your wife back."

Gu Xiao was shocked: "Where did you pick it up?"

Gu Qifang put her cheek in her hand: "That year, I was riding a horse by a dark river in the southwest. I wanted to drink horses and water, but I didn’t expect to find a person lying on the water. Beauty."

Duan Qing shook his head, noncommittal.

In the southwest border, Mu Qingshang jumped off the cliff, Deep River, Dark River, Shi Niang, Longevity Gu, Poyun Sword, Token... the yellowing memory picture gradually became clear in his mind, and Ye Fusheng connected these clues again. , His face slowly turned pale.

He was shocked now that he only knew the name of Shi Niang Dao Qing, but did not know the other side’s lay name. He only remembered Gu Qifang’s smiling face when he was still alive, and the constant nickname in his mouth—

A businessman.

If Mu Qingshang lived to this day, he should be an old man over 60 years old, then... as the host brother and elder of the Supreme Palace, how old should he be now?

Can a single "Wuji Gong" martial arts can really make people immortal?

Chu Xiwei suddenly felt Ye Fusheng squeeze her palms back. The force was not like holding hands. It was more like not standing firm at this moment, pressing her whole body weight on her body.

He was stunned for a moment, thinking that Ye Fusheng had repeated injuries and was about to help subconsciously. However, the man quickly stood firmly on his arm and looked straight at Isar, his tone of voice was rare and urgent:" Thank you, the city lord, for telling us about these things. There is a ruthless please next. I hope you can try to hide this from the guard posts along the way. We...will go back to the Central Plains immediately!

Ye Fusheng's heart beats like a drum when he speaks, a kind of panic that hasn't appeared for a long time, rushing in from behind, like a venomous snake crawling on its skin and flesh, making it creepy.

He had a strong instinct that he didn't dare to admit, and he knew something was wrong.
