Chapter 361 The way forward
All rumors in the world can be divided into two categories, one is groundless and the other is traceable.
The rumors of the demonic path in Qingzhou City are the latter, and the rumors are bizarre, and the matter itself does have too much fog. There is indeed someone with the demonic path, and the head of Ranfei is not a fabrication, and the shrill crying from Baiyun Mountain are all true, but behind all these strange things are just to hide a dirty and careless thing.
Of course, the dirty things in this world are inseparable from Kuquan. In his previous life, Xu Jinyan found the truth behind these strange things in Qingzhou City. However, in his previous life, she realized that there might be greater secrets hidden behind these strange things. When she was anxious to return to the capital to meet with Zhao Fei, she did not continue to investigate. Ren Kuquan acted misleadingly and became the king of the Turks, and finally retaliated on Xu Jinyan herself.
The strange crying from Baiyun Mountain in the darkness exploded in the night with some unpredictable roars. The inn was extremely quiet and no one walked around. But if you could sleep peacefully by listening to such a sound, you must be a deaf and turbid person. You can't hear the sound so that you can be without any worries.
Xu Jinyan pushed open the window to the east a little. The window at the east end faced Baiyun Mountain. Baiyun Mountain was towering into the clouds, and the huge mountain poked his eyes. In the night sky, the strange rocks in the mountains were abrupt, and the big trees stretched out looked like monsters, waiting under the dark sky to swallow the pedestrians who accidentally entered.
"This Baiyun Mountain... we have to break through it once." Xu Jinyan looked at the Baiyun Mountain that was guarding quietly in the distance and said softly. Zhao Wanfeng followed Xu Jinyan to look at Baiyun Mountain, but after looking for a long time, she couldn't see any tricks. She simply stopped looking and asked directly: "What is the Baiyun Mountain? What does it have to do with Kuquan...?"
Xu Jinyan looked at Baiyun Mountain in the distance, and his expression changed in an instant, with regret, regret, and deep compassion.
"That is a hell on earth. Countless people sacrifice their lives there just for the most greedy ambitions of one person." Kuquan has always been very ambitious, trying to overthrow the current Turkic King, be the king of the Turkic King himself, and command the Turkic King. On the surface, he was a virtuous prince who was no longer virtuous, but Kuquan behind his back has been doing some things that were worse than beasts in order to strengthen his power.
Kuquan is very superstitious, especially the You Wormist in the Central Plains. I heard that it was because a You Wormist named Zhang Tiandao saved his life and guided Kuquan to appear iron ore, making Kuquan the richest man in the Turks. So Kuquan believed in this person and followed the advice he gave him completely.
In addition to Kuquan secretly building a training place and hoarding weapons, he also believed in Zhang Tiandao's words and offered sacrifices to living people.
The sorcerer named Zhang Tiandao was a real demon with no mercy. He told Kuquan that by offering sacrifices to living people, the weapons can be made with soul power and invincible. Moreover, the number of sacrifices offered by living people is also of particular importance, requiring five hundred men, five hundred women, and ten pairs of golden boys and jade girls under the age of one year. Kuquan believed in Zhang Tiandao's words and really caught so many people to pay tribute to the weapons.
In the north of Baiyun Mountain, there is a very deep and huge natural cave in the area under Kuquan. According to Zhang Tiandao's words, Kuquan built the cave into a huge sacrifice and sword training pond. Heavy troops were sent to guard the surrounding area, and no one was allowed to approach.
The so-called life sacrifice is also extremely cruel. On the first and fifteenth day of each month, five men and five women were directly thrown into the boiling sword training pool in batches. The sword training pool was full of boiling fire, and even steel could be digested in an instant, let alone humans with flesh and blood. It was not until all five hundred pairs of men and women were thrown into ten pairs of boys and girls under the age of one year at the last time. At this point, the life sacrifice was completed.
But more than a thousand people who were sacrificed weapons were not easy to find. Although Kuquan searched all over the world for these people to be sacrificed, it was not easy to bring these thousand people back to the Turks.
Moreover, if nearly a thousand people are lost in a moment, no matter who is from that country, it will attract great attention in the whole world. However, Zhang Tiandao's method is to sacrifice according to batches every month, which gives Kuquan a great buffer time. The project volume of only ten people per month is much smaller.
Kuquan first found a very deep natural cave in the north of Baiyun Mountain under the guidance of Zhang Tiandao, and built a sword training pool along the cave as a place for living people to sacrifice. On the first and fifteenth day of each month, a special person would bring those who were arranged to sacrifice into the cave to sacrifice. Because Kuquan was unwilling to sacrifice with the Turks, the victims found were basically from the Beiming or Daqian people. However, because the Beiming and the Turks had no contact on weekdays, the gates of the cities on both sides were closed, Kuquan could only take advantage of the two days of trading on the first and fifteenth day to transport these people into the Turks. The shrill crying sounds of floating intermittently from Baiyun Mountain into Qingzhou City on the first and fifteenth day of the day was the despair roar that was thrown into the hot sword pool.
The roars that were dying were so huge that they could not be covered even if they were separated by the mountains. Some of the occasional sounds still came into the ears of the people of Qingzhou City. In connection with the legends of the past, they finally evolved into the habit of Qingzhou people not going out on the first and fifteenth nights of the lunar month.
The cold-blooded weapon requires people's passion to be trained, but Kuquan's ambition requires so many people to lose their lives to complete. When Shen Sisi and Zhao Wanfeng heard this, both of them were shivering. Zhao Wanfeng tightened his collars, and the intermittent crying sounds in his ears became harsh. When he thought of these crying and screaming, the sounds that came out when people were thrown into the hot sword training pool, and their flesh was slightly annihilated, Zhao Wanfeng shook even more.
"This Kuquan is really not human. When will we come out? Kill this turtle grandson!" Zhao Wanfeng said anxiously.
Xu Jinyan closed the window so that the crying sounds would not come in again.
"Of course Kuquan deserves to die, but his strength is unfathomable. In order to hit the attack, we have to wait for an opportunity. Once this time comes, Kuquan and his dirty sword pool will disappear in an instant."
Never do things that are unsure, and once she does it, she must succeed.
Zhao Wanfeng said: "When will you wait? The crying is too cautious..."
Zhao Wanfeng's eyes always glanced at the window. She didn't know about this, and she was not so scared when she heard the cry. And the cry came from Baiyun Mountain after all, intermittently and very small. If you don't pay attention, you will easily ignore it. It was also the things that harmed people in Qingzhou City that have caused these people to be in a panic over the years. Otherwise, these crying sounds might not have been noticed.
Now she knew about this... the feeling of hearing this crying sound was very different.
Xu Jinyan looked at Zhao Wanfeng and looked so scared that she curled her lips and said, "Look at you, you are scared like this bear now. When the time comes, how can you kill that turtle grandson in Kuquan?"
Xu Jinyan imitated Zhao Wanfeng's tone as he was just now thinking of the turtle grandson.
Zhao Wanfeng immediately turned a cold face, "I'm not kidding! So many people died at Kuquan's hands, just for his so-called ambition, what is Kuquan not a grandson!"
Chen Si Si replied with a expressionless face: "Turtle bastard."
"That's not the same!" Zhao Wanfeng said dissatisfied. Her thoughts were a little more meticulous. She smiled at Zhao Wanfeng, and then asked Xu Jinyan: "Jinyan, if this strange sound is related to the Zuoxian King Kuquan you mentioned, then will the rumors about the demonic path in Qingzhou City over the past three years also be related to Kuquan."
Zhao Wanfeng immediately said, "It must be related. There is no one named Zhang Tiandao around Kuquan. Isn't Zhang Tiandao a real demon? Is this person's head flying around in Qingzhou City?"
Xu Jinyan:….
"Your description... your head is flying around in Qingzhou City. Why did you say such a terrifying thing, and I just want to laugh like this?" Chen Sisi couldn't say anything bitterly.
Xu Jinyan said: "She is right. The head of the demon is flying around in Qingzhou City, but is this demon... really not Zhang Tiandao." "That was a game set by Zhang Tiandao. The Kuquan weapon training incident started three years ago. At that time, someone in Qingzhou City should have been curious about visiting Baiyun Mountain. Zhang Tiandao was afraid that the matter would be exposed to the people of Qingzhou, so he set up a rumor that the demonic way harmed people. In order to prevent the people of Qingzhou City from going out on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month to expose the shocking secret hidden in Baiyun Mountain."
"Jinyan, you said.... It should be that you are not sure?" Chen Sisi asked. Xu Jinyan nodded and said, "Yes, there are things I have told you that I know that are definitely facts, but some of them are my guesses."
Xu Jinyan in his previous life could not see the full picture of this incident. At that time, she only guessed that the fact that the demonic path was false in Qingzhou City, and led the people of Qingzhou to catch the so-called "head of the demonic path" flying around in the air.
She overthrew the evil Taoist affairs and guessed from some clues that the evil Taoist affairs had some connection with the Turks, perhaps to cover up the things deep in Baiyun Mountain. However, Xu Jinyan did not study the things deep in Baiyun Mountain in his previous life. It was not until Kuquan became the king of the Turks and was lazy in the jurisdiction of Baiyun Mountain that year that the dirty past events in Baiyun Mountain were spread out bit by bit.
Regarding this matter, the head of the demon Tao is true, and it is true that Ku Quan is doing dirty things deep in Baiyun Mountain. However, whether these two things are really related, and whether they are really the smog created by Zhang Tiandao and Ku Quan to cover up their crimes is Xu Jinyan's speculation.
"If you believe me, then follow me to wait for that opportunity. Let's overthrow Kuquan's conspiracy together. If you don't believe me, then you just think that you are coming to Qingzhou City for fun. The mutton and sesame tuples here can be considered as entrance."
Xu Jinyan turned around and said solemnly to Chen Sisi and Zhao Wanfeng.
"I've come here, how could I not believe you!" Zhao Wanfeng waved his hand proudly. No matter what the matter was, she wanted to kill Kuquan. If this matter is true, it's just to eliminate harm for the people. This matter is fake. Even if she, Zhao Wanfeng, finds fault for Kuquan!
"I believe what Jin Yan said." Chen Sisi also laughed. How could she not believe her? It seemed that she had already been heartbroken to her when she saw the first glance of those glass eyes. "Then let's prepare to do it. I have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and I have been waiting for it... I can't wait any longer."
Xu Jinyan lowered his glittering eyes, so no one noticed how violent and violent the storm contained in those eyes was.—
Beijing, Li’s Mansion.
Li Yangfei has been sitting in the room for almost three days. For three days, there has not been a drop of water. He only sat on the ground with his legs bent, leaning against the bed, his eyes are dull, but his hands are tightly holding the bracelet that the meditative thoughts were finally handed over to him. General Li and Mrs. Li stood outside the window and looked at Li Yangfei. The two of them dared not go in, so they could only look in front of the window.
After a few days, the son, who had become a tuberculosis, lost weight again, his beard was unshaven, and his face was almost shrunken. The young man, who was so handsome and so bright, was now haggard but looked like an old man. Mrs. Li saw it and felt in her heart, "It's not a big deal to continue like this. Princess Ning'an took Jiajue... Sisi has left and will not come back in the future. If my son continues like this, how can I live?"
General Li was also anxious, but he still cursed: "It was all his fault. If he hadn't treated Sisi like this before, how could Sisi's kindness leave? Now he knows that he regrets it? He deserves how much he suffers!"
"Did you say this? No matter what Yangfei did, he apologized to Sisi and tortured himself to this way. And... the miscarriage was just the woman in the brothel making a fuss. Yangfei didn't really let that woman get pregnant." Mrs. Li was muttering, her face full of resentment.
General Li immediately said with a brow, "Don't let me hear this for the second time. How did our son treat his daughter-in-law over the years? You and I don't know how many times have he gone out to make trouble over the years? He knew very well in his heart that you, a mother, don't want to cover him up. And apologize? Isn't it bad for you to say this? The miscarriage is Sisi's child, and the flesh and blood of the Li family. How can it be done with just one or two apology?"
Mrs. Li choked, "It's my grandson who has lost it, how can I not feel sorry for me? But... But things are already like this, and the child can be reborn if it is gone. From now on, just keep Yangfei tighter. Why leave it and never come back." Mrs. Li looked at Li Yangfei sitting in the room, and her heartbroken eyes were wet, "Master... do you think Sisi can come back?"
General Li sighed, "Si Si's temperament is as good as her father, and she is a person who would rather break than bend. Since she has made up her mind, this time... it is probably difficult to turn back."
"What should I do? Sisi is leaving. I see that our son is in this situation... I don't know if I can cheer up."
General Li looked at Li Yangfei in the room, "It depends on himself whether he can cheer up. If he is a backbone, he should wake up immediately. If he can't let go of Sisi, he will just go and chase the person back. What does it look like if he sits alone in the room! And it's not the stupid thing he did to force Sisi away! I think he was depressed for two days, and he may not really regret it." Since Chen Sisi left, General Li didn't like his son anyway. Chen Sisi was entrusted to him for care. Chen Sisi left, if Chen Sisi really never came back, what kind of face would he have to see his deceased old friend in the future.
General Li had his own thoughts, but Mrs. Li couldn't stand General Li's harsh appearance towards Li Yangfei. She glared at General Li and returned to the room angrily.
Inside the house, General Li and Mrs. Li passed the words of General Li and Mrs. Li to Li's ears. General Li and his wife didn't realize that they were standing at the window, but they were actually very close to Li Yangfei sitting in front of the bed. They didn't pay attention to the sound of the sounds, and Li Yangfei heard all the words.
My father said just now that he might not really regret it.
At that moment, Li Yangfei really wanted to stand up and tell his father that he regretted it. It was not a moment of depression, but he really regretted it.
After sitting in the room for three days, he carefully recalled every little thing he had with Shen Sisi over the years. From the first meeting and farewell later, everything he could recall was completely recalled by him, and he didn't want to let go of any of the things he could do.
When she first came to the mansion, she was so young that her pink ball was blushing, and it made people want to bite a few bites. But he didn't bite it because his father didn't let her, and her mother hugged her and told him that this was his future wife, and told him to treat her well and not always think about bullying her.
Li Yangfei thought it was strange at the time. Why did he bully her? He just wanted to bite a few times. He would definitely be very gentle and would never hurt her. She was so cute, how could he bear to bully her?
But she was bitten by him later. On the wedding night, the face under the veil was shy and beautiful. The pink ball of the past had grown into a pretty beauty, but it still looked easy to bite. This time no one stopped him. He couldn't wait to bite her, very light, for fear of hurting her.
The taste was as sweet as he imagined. When he was very young, his mother told him that she was his future wife. Li Xiao Yangfei thought about it at that time. Since he was his future wife, he would have to protect her well. Whoever wants to bully her would have to pass the level of Li Yangfei, the little bully in the capital.
When she first came to the capital, she was bullied by others. The children of the Gao family always ridiculed her for having no father or mother. The children did not have less malice than adults when they did evil. When Shen Sisi's eyes were red with anger, the little bully in the capital shone brightly. Who dares to say anything? Look, my little bully doesn't beat you up and your face is full of blooming! Regardless of your men and women, beat you first!
The little bully relied on his birth, good martial arts and good health, that was a little kid who had beaten all over the capital. Every now and then, someone led his children to the general's house to find trouble for the little bully. The little bully was taught a lesson by his father, and he didn't defend himself after being punished. He just stared at the little pink dumpling with two bright eyes. Seeing it, I protect you, you have to remember my goodness. Although the little bully was punished, he was actually very proud. That was my wife. No one of you should bully me. Whoever bullies bullied me would beat anyone! But the little bully might not have expected that the person who bullied the most in this world would be himself who grew up.
Before the wedding, his father asked him to treat Shen Sisi well. Li Yangfei agreed, but he did not do it later. He let her wait behind him, waiting for the candle every night, and shed many tears, and in the end, the child who completely forced her away.
Li Yangfei felt chill when he recalled it. He actually treated her like that.
Li Yangfei had no way to defend himself. The things were all done by him. The evils he had done to her, the tears that made her shed, and the time she had made her wait were all his own sins. There was no difficulty, and no one forced him.
She had been by his side for too long, so long that he thought she would never leave, so he wasted her love, her waiting, and everything about her. Li Yangfei knew that he was a bastard and knew that his sins were unforgivable, but he just wanted to lick his face and beg her for forgiveness, and give him another chance to return everything that owed her to her. But he used to be too much, and she was unwilling to give him this opportunity. So he left and had no return date.
Li Yangfei has been in his and her room for three days. He has no strength to move and dares to move, because he knows very well that once he goes out of this room, he will face a life without her.
But without her life, is it still called life?
Li Yangfei was in a daze and did not go to the military camp. He also took leave in the morning court. He was stuck in the room every day, as if he wanted to turn himself from a tuberculosis look like a tuberculosis into a real tuberculosis. Seeing that Li Yangfei's situation was not good, Mrs. Li quickly contacted several friends who had played with Li Yangfei on weekdays and came to the Li family to guide Li Yangfei.
But who do Li Yangfei makes friends with people on weekdays? Most of them are members of the Beijing Playboys Group, and only Zhao Yuxuan is a bit like a human being. But Zhao Yuxuan was sent out to do business and has not been in the capital these two days.
So there were only a few playboys who came to enlighten Li Yangfei.
How could the playboy enlighten Li Yangfei? Naturally, a few people came directly over and put Li Yangfei on his shoulder and said, "Let's go, brother, let's go to the brothel."
Several people were almost beaten out by Li Yangfei.
Although Li Yangfei has a lot of dandy things on weekdays, he is not a playboy who only knows how to play. He has martial arts skills and few people in the capital can beat him after a few moves, and even beat the playboys who usually walk around the streets with him.
One of the playboys held his head and said, "If you don't go, don't go. Brothers and I know that your wife is in a bad mood after she ran away, just want you to have fun. I don't have any other ideas, so I'll forget it if you don't want to go."
My wife ran away? What does it mean that my wife ran away? She didn't want him anymore. She left with a dignified and righteous spirit. She said it simply. She said that the bracelet she had worn for more than ten years and said she would give it back to him, and she didn't even hesitate at all. She was so carefree, how could she have something to do with the word "run" like "run".
Then he hurt her, it would be fine if she didn't want him. She didn't even want the bracelet. A playboy looked at Li Yangfei's image as a tuberculosis and said in consolation, "Brothers really need to persuade you. Those women's hearts are much crueler than our men. Just say that the third son of the Kangqihou family, we played together in the past. He also tried to divorce his wife some time ago, but he had no further information, and his wife found her next house first. At that time, his wife knelt on him and begged him not to divorce his wife, but he didn't care and insisted on divorce. In the past few days, the third son held a bottle of wine every day to scold his wife for being inhuman and unfaithful. Brother, don't follow the footsteps of the third son."
Another playboy also said, "If you really can't bear to let go, hurry up and chase him. If someone meets a sweet person, then marrying again is not the simplest thing. You know the mess we did before. If your wife is willing to endure, her life will pass like this. If your wife doesn't want to endure and leave, then don't expect others to never marry for you."
Li Yangfei's heart stagnated. The words of these playboys entered Li Yangfei's heart. He couldn't help but look up at these people. These playboys were true, but the words he said just now were indeed worth thinking about. The last time he saw Chen Sisi, Chen Sisi really stayed in the arms of another man, so well-behaved, as well-behaved as the pink ball of the past.
Li Yangfei clenched his hands tightly.
He never thought that there would be such a day when his pink balls would leave him, and would... hide in the arms of another man. But why, that fierce pink balls belong to him, and that was his fierce wife, not someone else's. These days, he could remember as soon as he closed his eyes. When he saw her for the last glance, she obediently put her hand into the hand of another man, and then the man pulled her into the carriage and completely disappeared in front of him.
If this man was the new Kexin person she met, would she turn all her goodness, all her fierceness, all her laughter, and all her love from him to the man? In an instant, Li Yangfei stood up, and this perception made his heart twitch and hurt.
He could not turn this guess into reality because he understood that once this matter came true, he would really die.
Several playboys looked at Li Yangfei who suddenly became energetic and said horrifiedly: "What are you doing? Are you going to hit someone again?"
Li Yangfei shook his head, "You are right, I have to find her." No matter how many methods he used, he had to find her back.
Li Yangfei said that it was almost time to go to Yizhou. Didn’t he say he would go to Yizhou? Then he would go to find him. He knew the gate of the General Guardian Mansion, but he didn’t believe it. General Zhou, who had held him when he was a child, could throw him out. After Li Yangfei left, several playboys came to General Li tremblingly and said, “General Li, we have told Yangfei everything you want. You shouldn’t tell our parents what we did in the casino.”
General Li sneered, "No, you can go back."
Of course he won't say it, but he will write.
Li Yang flew to Yizhou to find Chen Sisi, but he didn't know that Chen Sisi was actually next to Baiyun Mountain in Qingzhou at this moment, selling coolies for Xu Jinyan, or even selling coolies, because those who sell coolies are generally frowning, and Chen Sisi is not only not frowning, but is as happy as a fool.
There is a hell on earth hidden in the north of Baiyun Mountain, but to the south, the side of the Northern Ming Dynasty belonging to the north is beautiful and the scenery is pleasant. It is early June, and the green leaves on the mountain can drip out water, which is very suitable for fun.
On the tenth day of June, Xu Jinyan and Shen Sisi and Zhao Wanfeng came to the southern foot of Baiyun Mountain, saying that it was a trip, but in fact the purpose was that the drunkard was not in wine. Baiyun Mountain was divided into two halves, the southern half belonged to the Northern Ming Dynasty, and the northern half belonged to the Turks. Such a mountain belonging to two countries is a very strange existence no matter where it is placed.
There was such a big secret hidden in the north of Baiyun Mountain. Kuquan strictly guarded it. Not only did he send heavy troops to guard the surroundings of the Sword Refining Pool, but he also sent heavy troops to guard the dividing line on Baiyun Mountain with Beiming.
Beiming was open-minded and did not do anything bad, so he sent a few veterans to live a lifelong life next to the dividing line of Baiyun Mountain, but these veterans would not apply for transfer after they could not be stationed for too long.
On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, the Turks were in trouble like hell on earth. It would be fine if you listen to it once or twice, but it would pass twice a month and on time. Who can withstand the destruction of this sound?
There was nothing to do with Beiming. No matter how much trouble the Turks were, it was a matter for the Turks. Beiming must not intervene, and there was no reason to cause trouble for the Turks for a few veterans. Moreover, the Turks' power has been growing in recent years, and even Emperor Qingyu deliberately avoided the Turks, and others could not stand it head-on with the Turks.
Chapter completed!
