Hidden Blade Chapter 8: Sincerely, Xu Han
(PS: Third, ask for recommendation tickets, monthly tickets, collections!!!)
The seventeenth year of the Thai Yuan.
Summer night.
Chongzhou. Fenglin City.
Fenglincheng has not been peaceful these few days, and the prefect of Fenglincheng handed in three months ago a zhezi suing Changyesi, the next great figure in the army of the wolf.
Since the new emperor ascended the throne, Changyesi has controlled the government, and both the ruling and the opposition have hated and feared them, and the people have dared not to speak up. This paper was handed over, it can be said that the ruling and the opposition are shaking, no one would have thought that a border prefect could be so bold.
The sage has long been dissatisfied with Nagayaji. This memorial undoubtedly gave the emperor a good opportunity to reduce Nagayaji’s wings. According to legend, these few days, the emissary who came to pick up the prefect to enter the capital has already Hurry up and rush to Fenglin City.
Of course, there are also the gangsters who are in harmony with the long night.
The little Fenglin City immediately assumed the posture that the mountains and rain were about to come and the wind was all over the building.
The prefect Yanguan Mountain naturally smelled this unusual smell. The guard outside the prefecture’s mansion was heavily guarded, and the city had a curfew in the morning and early morning, as if it were on the verge of an enemy.
The soldiers in the mansion patrolled back and forth. They never stopped at twelve o'clock, but they couldn't imagine that this would be the case in the prefect's room.
"Let's talk, what's going on?" A young man in black sat high on the wooden chair in the prefect's mansion, looking at the middle-aged man below the stage with a cold expression.
The middle-aged man's clothes are ragged, and he obviously had a fight before. Next to him, two men in black, who were like teenagers, were intimidating a woman and a woman with daggers in their hands. A child who looks only eight or nine years old.
"If you want to kill, you have to kill you. I had already expected this day when Yan Guanshan handed out the zipper!" The middle-aged man straightened his back and looked directly at the boy, and said loudly.
But in the bottom of my heart, he was somewhat shocked.
This young man looks only fifteen or sixteen years old, but he stretched out his hand extremely well. Although he is not at the Danyang level, he is considered a master of the heavenly character, but he can’t pass ten tricks under this young man’s hands. , At such an age, with such a level of cultivation, just thinking about it made Yan Guanshan shiver for a while.
"It's a hard bone." The boy in black sneered, playing with the dagger in his hand, and then glanced at the two men in black beside him.
The two were instructed, a cold light flashed in their eyes, and the dagger in their hands was slightly hard, and the woman and the child's neck was pulled out with a shallow blood mark.
"Father!!!" The woman was a bit stubborn, but her face turned pale, but she didn't make any sound in her mouth, but the child was young after all, and at this moment, she was so scared that she was so scared that she was crying and crying. Toward his father for help.
"I just don't know whether the woman and the son are like adults." The child's cry was undoubtedly hitting the boy's arms, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was even worse. He looked at Yanguan Mountain and asked like this .
"You!" Yan Guanshan's face changed. He turned to look at his child. The blood stains on his neck, and the look at him asking for help at the moment, none of them impacted his heart.
"It's not good for your family, do you really want to be so cruel?" the man asked angrily.
"Do you mean harm to your family? That is the slogan of decent people. I always pay attention to cutting grass and roots." The young man smiled disapprovingly. "If you want to understand, you can tell the truth. If you don't understand, then the lady and the son may have to suffer some crimes." The boy said like this, with a little regret in his tone.
As soon as these words were spoken, the woman who had just gritted her teeth and never made a sound suddenly screamed. When Yan Guanshan heard the reputation, she saw that the woman's coat had been torn off by the man in black, revealing its whiteness. Skin.
"My brother, with busy affairs, it is inevitable to be a little impatient, and I don't know whether Madam Ling can bear it." The young man said with a smile. His immature face and the gloomy tone at the moment made the last line of defense in Yan Guanshan's heart after all collapsed.
"I said... I said..." He chose to compromise and sat on the ground as if he had lost his soul.
"Huh?" The young man seemed to have expected this. He glanced at the two men in black. Although they were unwilling, they had to put away their hands and stand respectfully. side.
"That's right, if the adults did this earlier, why should the madam and the son be blamed?" The boy's tone suddenly became gentle, and he walked up to the man and sat down. Li's body lifted up and placed it on the Grand Master's chair aside, and then asked: "Let's talk about it, what is going on?"
Yan Guanshan took a deep look at this young man. At such an age, his temperament is so vicious. It is true that he is only seen in the flat body, but at this moment, his wife and children are in the hands of the staff, so how can the rest of the matter be caused by him?
Thinking of this, he sighed deeply, and finally said in a deep voice: "Chang Ye Si's greedy wolf subordinate, Gongsun Ming's nephew, grandson Ling, is the warlord who was sent to Fenglin City a few years ago. Although Fenglin City is a small frontier fortress, it is also the first city after the Sishui Pass in southern Xinjiang. Therefore, most of the supplies of the Sishui Pass garrison are hoarded here. Although Gongsun Ling is a warlord, he controls the entire Sishui Pass 80,000 soldiers. For the supply of munitions, he usually deducts military pay and fills his own pockets. I can open one eye and close one eye. But a few days ago, the soldiers of Surabaya Pass had friction with the barbarians who plundered me in the southern border. Dozens of soldiers died in battle. He also has to deduct the pension."
Speaking of this, Yan Guanshan was already choked up a bit, obviously he hated that Gongsun Ling. "All of these can be given up, but an orphan and widow came to ask for an explanation. He actually sent someone to beat the mother and son to death! How can I just sit back and watch?"
"Although I feast on Guanshan Mountain is only the prefect of the border, how can I not worry about the emperor’s affairs if I eat the monarch’s money? How can my people in southern Xinjiang have a moment of rest?"
"Today, my affairs were revealed, and I deserve to be killed. Hate only hate, that Gongsun Ling is still lingering, poisoning my people in southern Xinjiang. It is me who feasts on Guanshan's incompetence, and has the trust of the saint." Yan Guanshan said here, The tone suddenly rose up, he was ready to die.
At that moment, there was no fear in his heart. He stood up, walked to his child and his wife, bowed down, hugged the child in his arms, and looked at his wife. The expression on his face suddenly softened.
"I'm wronged," he said, apologetic on his face.
The woman shook her head in tears, "I'm a woman, I don't dare to talk about the affairs of the country, but I also know that what the husband does is the right way. If you can marry your husband, your concubine is honorable even though you die." /
Hearing this, Yan Guanshan's face showed some relief. He stretched out his hand to hug the woman into his arms, and touched his child's head.
"Daddy Yuer is afraid."
The child in his arms was young after all, so he sobbed softly at this moment.
"Don't be afraid of Yu'er, there is a father." A color of guilt and heartache flashed in the man's eyes, but in the end, he suppressed his grief and anger, made his appearance look gentle enough, and then looked towards The boy said so.
The boy is also sensible. Hearing this, he nodded heavily, wiped away the tears on his face, and responded with his tender voice: "Well, daddy is here, Yu'er is not afraid. "
The black-clothed boy saw the appearance of this family of three, knowing that they were ready to die, he smiled, got up from the chair, and looked at the two black-clothed men. Look.
The two are naturally aware.
They nodded, and the dagger in their hands was lifted high by them at that moment, and they were about to stab at the three of them.
Yan Guanshan also felt at that time. He slowly closed his eyes and hugged the child tightly into his arms. Even at the last moment, he did not want his child to face him. To such a cruel scene.
Puff!
Puff!
At this moment, the hand of the black-clothed boy suddenly stretched out, two cold lights flashed, the bodies of the two black-clothed people suddenly shook, and they turned to look at the black-clothed boy with their eyes It was filled with puzzles, but such puzzles only lasted for a moment. The color in their eyes dissipated at that time, the dagger in their hands suddenly fell off, and their bodies fell to the ground.
Yan Guanshan, who was ready to die, suddenly opened his eyes when he heard such a change, but saw that a sharp blade had been inserted into the chest of the man in black for some time, and blood was constantly flowing from their chests. overflow.
Yan Guanshan was taken aback, he naturally thought that all of this was the work of the boy in black. He couldn't help turning his head to look at the boy. The doubt and shock in his eyes were mixed, and it was very exciting.
"Your Excellency...?" He slowly stood up, looked at the boy in black, and asked.
"Chang Ye Si is in charge of the power of the Great Zhou. Don’t say that you have a prefect, the prime minister, and the prince Hou Ye. You can pack your luggage and leave with your family. You can’t control things, don’t bother.” The black-clothed boy still played with the dagger in his hand, and said lightly. As for the deaths of his two companions, he didn’t mention a word, not even their corpses. Haven't seen it.
Yan Guanshan is not stupid. At this time, if he still didn’t understand what the young man meant, he would have been an official for so many years. Although he still had some doubts about the young man’s behavior in his heart, he didn’t care about it at that time. I thought about it, and hurriedly pulled my wife and son towards the young man and kowtowed: "Yan Guanshan thanked the young man for saving his life, I have nothing to repay, I just want to be a cow in the next life..."
"Alright, alright." Yan Guanshan's gratitude did not ease the boy's attitude a bit, he waved his hand a little impatiently, interrupted Yan Guanshan's words, and then said, "Hurry up and go. , If you drag on, I can't save you."
"Yes, yes." Yan Guanshan nodded repeatedly. He didn't dare to hesitate any more. He pulled his wife and children and wanted to flee. When he walked to the door, he seemed to think of something and suddenly turned around. The body looked at the young man and said: "I heard that Senluodian has always acted fiercely. If the young man let us go, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to deal with each other, so if you let me now..."
"I have my own way. If you don't want to harm me, don't enter the official career again in this life." The boy responded coldly.
"Okay, don't worry, young man, I'm the one who feasted me on Yan Guanshan?" Yan Guanshan nodded fiercely when he heard the words, and finally stopped hesitating to pull his wife and children, and walked outside the house.
When the Yanguanshan family left, a long time later, a bitter smile suddenly appeared at the corner of the boy's mouth in that room.
He blew a whistle, and a crow suddenly fell from a distance and flew into the room from the window sill.
The young man searched for a while in the room, found paper and pen, stained with the blood of the two men in black, and wrote on the paper.
"On April 9th, in the seventeenth year of the Taiyuan Yuan Dynasty, the Yanguanshan family died out, Hongniao and Qingpeng died in battle. Sincerely, Xu Han."
After writing, he threw the brush aside at random, put the letter paper between the crow's feet and fastened it, patted the bird's back lightly, and the crow made a long cry~IndoMTL.com~ Immediately spread his wings and left.
The boy in black, squinted his eyes and watched the crow escape and disappear into the night sky.
He smiled and was about to turn around, but there was a sudden stop.
"April 9."
He whispered softly on this day, his eyes drifting away.
"Has it been four years?"
He looked at the night sky outside the house. On such a night four years ago, A Sheng left Xu Han with all his head, and then never returned.
In the past four years, he was taken to a place called Shura Temple, where he experienced a lot, and then walked out alive as a Senluo Temple Shura.
But he always dreamed of Liu Sheng.
I dreamed that they were encouraging each other in that small dark room, cuddling each other to keep warm.
I dreamed that they were fighting **** battles in the Gu Forest, making promises to each other.
I dreamed of the vaguely heard voice in a coma, Xiaohan, live.
Thinking of this, a smile suddenly appeared on the face of the boy in black, but tears flicked across his eyes inexplicably.
He woke up suddenly, dried his wet eye sockets, and a determination flashed across his eyes.
"There is one more year." He muttered to himself: "A Sheng, wait, I will definitely find your brother and sister!"
After saying this, a dagger in his hand suddenly slipped from the cuff into his hand, he turned around, and walked out of the man to the prefectural palace in the building without looking back.
The second day.
The prefect of Fenglin City mysteriously disappeared, and a corpse was hung at the gate of the city at some unknown time.
The corpse is mostly recognized by the people in the city.
His name is Gongsun Ling.
