How many times have you seen a man cry in your life? Maybe you can count them down at the end of your life. Except for crying scenes in movies and TV series, you can probably count them on one hand.
Life is difficult. It's difficult when you think your mental endurance is strong enough, but something always breaks through your bottom line.
As Zuo Zhou, who used to work in Dali Temple, he had seen many records of massacres. Most of these people in the world seemed to understand that a family should be in order. However, he had never heard of the massacre. Be so thorough!
The entire Mingjian Villa, a large property, seemed to have been plowed from beginning to end by a missile. None of the buildings that were usually not luxurious but could block the sun were no longer higher than the waist.
There is blood everywhere, and there are stumps and broken arms everywhere. There are more than a dozen large and small dark and sticky blood pools. The weeds that grew in the yard before are now watered with blood and seem to have turned into another. When planting plants, there is no vitality at all, only fear and death.
Yi Tianfan dismounted, staggered and half-knelt on the ground. Several guards from the original Sword Villa wanted to step forward to help him, but found that their performance was even worse. They were aroused by the rich smell of blood and retched.
The accompanying maids screamed or fainted, leaving the cavalry behind them in a panic.
Zuo Zhou sat on his horse and watched this scene coldly. He suddenly remembered something. He had been deceived. He had been deceived by the scenes in so many movies and TV series!
What were you like when you saw tragic scenes before?
A gray sky, blood mixed with weapons stuck upside down on the ground, a broken flag fluttering with the cold front, an old horse that survived by chance wandering alone, then low music, and finally a few harsh cries of crows.
But... that's false, it's so bloody, so cruel, the sky-high resentment has already turned this place into a desperate place, how can a mere crow dare to stay here for even half a minute!
"All cavalry listen to the order and form groups of three to conduct reconnaissance within a radius of ten miles. If any situation arises, they will immediately release Thousand Miles of Fire!"
"yes!"
The cavalry shouted in unison, their voices starting to sound a little hoarse.
Zhang Junbao helped Yi Tianfan and walked forward step by step, as if he was looking for something. Behind him, Yan Qing had already stood in front of Li Xunhuan, blocking her sight and he couldn't bear to watch anymore.
Li Xunhuan slowly lowered his head and closed his eyes, muttering in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Is it always like this on the battlefield...?"
Yan Qing was stunned for a moment, as if he was thinking about something, "It won't be like this. Pure killing won't be like this."
Yan Qing's voice was not loud, but for Zuo Zhou, who was a little sensitive at this time, it seemed like a flash of inspiration. Looking at the ruins again, does this look like a simple extermination of the family?
no!
There are only a few reasons for exterminating a family, either for money or revenge, and the methods will be different according to the character of the murderer. For example, if the murderer is evil or a gangster, he will definitely remove all the gold and silver property. , Men kill women and enjoy them on the spot or take them back.
But something was wrong, very wrong. Everyone was dead. The bodies of men and women were cut into pieces and scattered everywhere. The formation of each blood pool was obviously man-made. After all, it was impossible for people from Mingjian Villa to gather together. Being slowly ground to pieces.
"General, something unusual has been discovered in the south!"
When Zuo Zhou was confused, a cavalryman came back with a strange expression to report. Zuo Zhou looked at him and asked, "Didn't you say to use Thousand Miles of Fire?"
"Well, General, there's no danger there."
Zuo Zhou followed the cavalry southward and found an open space in just a few minutes. In the center of the open space was a spear, which was obviously a cavalry standard spear.
"When I got here, I felt something was wrong with the horses stepping on the soil, so I dug it casually. Look!"
Zuo Zhou looked towards the spear, and saw that the soft soil had obviously been renovated. A box was placed next to it, which the cavalry had just dug out.
Zuo Zhou waved his hand to stir up a strong wind and opened the box, but was shaken by the flickering golden light. There was so much gold!
After walking around the box and seeing the conspicuous logo of Mingjian Villa on it, I suddenly had a clear understanding in my heart. Miemen didn't ask for money, but buried the money here?
What the hell kind of operation is this!
"Call all the people over and turn this land over. I want to see if this group of cruel murderers is really that stupid!"
"As you command!"
The cavalry went to dig for gold, but Zuo Zhou returned to the ruins again. At this time, Yi Tianfan was already sobbing and holding a human head in his arms. From the hairstyle, Zuo Zhou could vaguely identify him.
Yi Yun, his head was cut off... Gu Yan
Zuo Zhou didn't know how to comfort him at this time. He looked at Zhang Junbao, who was still looking for something, and said, "What are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for the body of Master Yi. Master Yi is the master of Renbang. Even if his legs are disabled, he still has the ability to fight back. I can roughly identify the murderer just by looking at the wounds... and Yi Tianxing's body.
Haven’t found it yet.”
Zhang Junbao's tone had a tremor between calm and excitement. Even if Zuo Zhou didn't see his face now, he knew that his anger was almost burning through the sky.
Zuo Zhou pursed his lips. He didn't know how strong the angry Zhang Junbao was. Ever since he learned Tai Chi, he had always looked calm and calm.
"The enemy's strength...seems to be crushing, otherwise there would be no room for resistance. If...Zhuang Master Yi finds that he is unable to defeat him, he will definitely let Yi Tianxing escape. With this big family's way of thinking,
It should be possible to keep the green hills without worrying about running out of firewood."
Zuo Zhou's reminder seemed to finally bring back the collapsed Yi Tianfan. He suddenly put his father's head aside and ran in one direction.
Zuo Zhou and Zhang Junbao looked at each other and hurried to follow. Yi Tianfan swung his sword to blow away two layers of gravel, then inserted the sword into the ground and pushed open a layer of stone door with all his strength, revealing the secret passage below.
This stone door should obviously be opened with a mechanism, but at this time the entire building was bulldozed, and the mechanism was naturally destroyed.
Following the secret passage, about thirty meters away, we arrived at a secret room. The secret room was not big but had no traces of damage, indicating that the enemy had not discovered this place.
Yi Tianfan felt a little excited. He turned his head and looked at a place that was obviously an offering table. Then he went to the bookshelf on the other side and pressed a hidden mechanism behind the book. Another secret door slowly opened.
Zuo Zhou and Zhang Junbao hurriedly followed and rushed in. After passing through a stone path about a kilometer long, there was a canyon terrain outside. The secret door was covered by a big tree surrounded by five people.
After Yi Tianfan came out, he turned around to observe, and sure enough he saw eight sword marks on the big tree.
"What does this mean?" Zuo Zhou asked. These eight sword marks were different in length, width and thickness. Could they be secret codes?
"These are the eight swords handed down from our ancestors at Famous Sword Villa. They are made of different materials, which is why there are such obvious differences." Yi Tianfan reached out excitedly to touch the sword marks, "Tian Xing is not dead yet, he is not dead yet.
Die, he ran away with the ancestral sword!"
Zhang Junbao seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief, and the originally depressing atmosphere suddenly became more lively.
Zuo Zhou was also happy, "Since that's the case, it's easy. If we find Yi Tianxing, we can know who the murderer is. Haha, let's crush them when the time comes!"
Yi Tianfan nodded fiercely, but then he became worried again, "Will those murderers... go after Tianxing?"
Zuo Zhou and Zhang Junbao looked at each other, this is very possible, they must race against time.
The three of them stopped talking and immediately returned to the team. Zuo Zhou then fired Thousand Miles of Fire to recall all the cavalry.
"All the cavalry sent my order to contact the garrisons in the five nearby cities and stay here while clearing the ruins. The guards escorted Miss Li Chan back to the imperial capital quickly. She went to the palace to have fun. The saint informed the situation truthfully and dispatched troops to help... Please Huang Shang
, Zhou Tong, and Wuming came here at the same time, so they said it was what I meant."
"..."
Everyone looked at him in confusion. This order was understandable at first, but gradually it started to be outrageous. But who makes him a general? Those cavalry must obey orders, and Li Xunhuan is a disciple and naturally trusts his master unconditionally.
But at this time, there was still one person who was anxious, Li Chan, that is, the disguised Xu Fu. I was so confused that I had just arrived and had to go home? I hadn’t even reached the border between the Ming and Qing Dynasties!
Although Jiang Yuyan didn't understand Zuo Zhou's meaning, she clearly sensed the seriousness of the matter from his order. She casually said, "You can get off the car secretly halfway. I want to follow Li Yuanfang to see what he is doing."
." After saying that, he went out with a hiss, borrowed a cavalry's horse, and turned to chase Zuo Zhou.
The four of them, Yi Tianfan, Zuo Zhou, Zhang Junbao and Jiang Yuyan who came after them, galloped all the way and headed in the opposite direction towards the Ming Kingdom.
"The exit of the secret passage is towards the Ming Kingdom. If the enemy is too strong, Tianxing will not dare to go to the direction of Daqin to ask for help, and the detour is too inefficient and dangerous. He will definitely go to the Ming Kingdom to defect to Ji Yanran!"
It is easy to think of Yi Tianxing's whereabouts, but if it is so simple, the enemy should also be able to think of it. At most, they just don't know the existence of the secret passage, so they waste a little time.
"Be more vigilant on the road. Maybe we will bump into the murderer directly and take revenge on the spot!" Zuo Zhou warned.
Zhang Junbao did not answer the question, but pondered for a moment and asked: "Your previous order...what did you guess?"
Zuo Zhou paused in embarrassment, "The enemy is very cruel. Even if they kill people and set fires, they even bulldoze their homes. This kind of behavior is not something ordinary people can do. Or he is an idiot who has nowhere to vent his strength.
Or there is some special purpose."
"Special purpose? What do you mean?"
Zuo Zhou looked at the crowd, "You may not believe it, but based on everything I saw, I speculate that they may... have taken a fancy to your Yi family's land!"
