Chapter 216 [Nowhere to be found after wearing iron shoes]
Cheng Yu stood above the high-walled compound, quietly overlooking everything under his feet.
Originally I just wanted to warn Duan Yulou not to kill innocent people indiscriminately, and didn't want to meet Duan Qian's family, and after his explanation, everyone was just like the farmers of Qingluo Village, they all kowtowed to him.< /p>
Cheng Yu didn't want to show up at this time, so he secretly activated his consciousness.
Quietly take back the water technique.
A group of Qingyang County martial judges stood in the air opposite, surrounding the martial lord in the middle. A martial judge beside him flattered:
"Master Wu Jun was so clever that he could tell at a glance that the talented mother and son were destined to die."
"Hey!"
Qingyang County Wu Jun first smiled proudly, then glanced at Cheng Yu opposite him, smacked his lips and said:
"I just didn't expect that it would be this person.
Who is this person? Why have I never heard of Mr. Fujun mentioning it before?"
……
Duan Yulou saw that the writing on the wall had disappeared, but he did not dare to make a mistake.
I waited a little longer,
Seeing that there was no more movement, he bowed deeply to the earthen wall and led Hou Siniang and the others to sit back in their chairs.
When he was sinking his waist, his buttocks had not yet settled down, he glanced at his bowl of wine on the table. At this time, the wine in the bowl had reached the bottom, but he still remembered that there was still more than half a bowl in it.
Then he remembered what the man who saved his mother had just said, and suddenly realized: this was the immortal who was using his own wine to show him the way.
Duan Yulou stood up again, respectfully picked up the empty bowl and raised it above his head with both hands. After muttering something in his mouth, he carefully sat down again.
But at this time, he was sitting in a chair, with his hands on his knees and his back straight, and he no longer dared to act like before.
Duan Qian had already asked his second son to take the crazy old woman out of the compound and settle it on her own. Duan Yulou seemed to have something on his mind at this time. He looked at Duan Qian at his feet and asked:
"Wuna Scholar,
I just heard what you said,
It seems that there is some ink in your belly. Which family in the village are you from? How much food is left at home?"
Duan Qian hesitated for a moment, then bravely bowed his hands and said:
"I am the Duan family of Zhuangdong. Speaking of which, we were still the same family as the King of Heaven five hundred years ago."
When Duan Yulou heard this, he waved his hand and said:
"Hey! Mo Luan is marrying me. This Heavenly King was not originally named Duan, but this surname was changed later."
At this point, Hou Siniang turned to look at Duan Yulou and recalled that the great martial arts student in the troupe was actually named Deng Yulou. After what happened to Xiao Yuexian, she decided to cut off the past and changed her surname to Duan.
Seeing that Yulou's tone was obviously unkind at this time, Hou Siniang thought about the sixteen words of Quexian. She was worried that Duan Tianwang would become murderous again and cause trouble, so she wanted to change the subject and asked Duan Qian first:
"You said you are from Zhuangdongtou, which one is Zhuangdongtou?"
"The third household after entering the village."
When Duan Yulou heard this, his eyes widened:
"The third household? Damn it,
Isn’t it the one with two courtyards?”
Duan Qian saw that the veins in Duan Yulou's hand holding the sword were exposed, so he quickly stepped forward and said:
"Exactly,
I first heard the shouting outside the courtyard. I didn't know why, so I had to close the door. Later, I found out that it was the Heavenly King's rebel army entering the village. I felt like following the dragon, so I opened the courtyard door to welcome the Heavenly King's rebel army, but I didn't want my mother to get sick and rush in. I have killed the King of Heaven and asked the King of Heaven to atone for my sins. Previously, the King of Heaven said that the surname Duan was changed later. In fact, the same is true for my surname Duan. It was just because I was persecuted in Qingchuan County before and I had no choice but to change my name and move here."
"Wait! Did you immigrate from Qingchuan County?"
After hearing this, Hou Siniang rushed to Duan Yulou and asked Duan Qian again. When Duan Qian said yes, she asked again:
"Which family were persecuted in Qingchuan County?"
"This..."
Duan Qian was hesitating whether to tell the story about the Qian family in Qingchuan.
"Say!"
"Qingchuan Qian Family."
Duan Qian said every word.
"Qingchuan Qian Family?"
"Qingchuan Qian Family!"
Duan Yulou and Hou Siniang said almost in unison, but their tone was different.
Hou Siniang was suspicious, but Duan Yulou was categorical.
"..."
Duan Qian froze, not knowing whether it was good or bad.
"The Qian family in Qingchuan is indeed full of evil!"
Duan Qian felt relieved when he heard this and said:
"What the King of Heaven said is true. The Qian family in Qingchuan is full of evil, and their hands and eyes are very powerful in Qingchuan County. I was forced to change my household registration to Qingjiang County. However, I am still afraid of the power of the Qian family and cannot live in seclusion in this Zhuangzi in Qingyang County. ”
Hearing this, Cheng Yu smiled in his heart and said: Duan Qian is not very young, but he is also very thoughtful, and his operations are quite smooth.
After hearing this, Hou Siniang frowned and thought for a while, then asked:
"I just don't know which lineage of the Qian family this scholar offended?"
"Empress Huitian, the main line of the county!"
"Teng!"
When Hou Siniang heard this, she punched the armrest of the armchair. Duan Yulou next to her shouted at the crowd at her feet:
"Come here, show me your seat!"
After Duan Qianqian gave in, he leaned forward and sat on the edge of the chair, but his whole body gradually relaxed.
……
"Let's go, let's go! Sir, I have something to do here, so I'll take my leave. Sir, please do what you want!"
The warrior-like Wu Jun of Qingyang County stood in the air and shouted to Cheng Yu. Cheng Yu nodded to him and watched as the latter drove away with a gust of wind. The other martial judges each held fresh souls and followed closely behind. .
At this time, there were still cries everywhere in Zhu Qianzhuang, but it did not prevent Duan Yulou and Duan Qian from talking happily in the courtyard, looking like a sage king and a wise minister.
At Duan Qian's suggestion, all the minions in the courtyard were dispatched, and they scattered around the village and shouted:
"Listen to the truth: Sheath your sword and kill a life to pay for it!"
"Sheath the sword and kill a life to pay for it!"
"...Kill a life to pay for a life!"
As the shouting minions preached, the order in the village gradually became orderly. Although it was still noisy, there was no flash of sword light anymore.
When Cheng Yu saw that everything was slowly settling down, he put away the Bujian sword on his wrist, swung the Wujun sword behind him, returned his soul to his place, spread his wings and flew away from the village in the direction of Long Xiangjiang.
One day of the previous three-day appointment with Jia Fei has passed. In the remaining two days, he still needs to return to Qingchuan County to return the Wujun Sword. In addition, he also wants to return to Qingluo Village to see Mrs. Que and Hei Tantou's family.
At this time, the sky was dimly lit, and a bird flew in the wilderness. As the east gradually lit up, various wild birds along the way began to chirp.
But unlike before, no bird dared to block the road and harass him.
As we flew all the way, there were fewer and fewer refugees at our feet, until the sun jumped directly out of the horizon, and a city with a small outline lay across the official road ahead.
When Cheng Yu came here, he remembered that this city was Qingyang County, which was much smaller than Qingchuan County. At that time, he went directly around it in order to rush on his way.
At this time, he had no intention of staying here. He flapped his wings and turned to fly past the city wall, but a familiar voice came from his ears.
"Brother Huaijin, at this early hour, the county magistrate must not have gotten up yet. If you urge me so urgently, you may offend him."
Hearing this, Cheng Yu hurriedly folded his wings and stopped moving forward. He turned around and landed on the city tower. He raised his head and looked into the city. The sound came from a group of brick and tile buildings. It looked like a county town. Yamen.
He listened carefully and after filtering out all the noise, another familiar voice came:
"Brother Wenpei, that sword was passed down from my ancestors. Before I went out, my father repeatedly warned me not to lose it. How can I not be in a hurry?"
This voice has a sense of righteousness in its eagerness.
It's hard to find anywhere after wearing iron shoes, but it's not the Xinke Jieyuan of Qianyuan Prefecture and Zhuang Huaijin of Zhuangzhou that Cheng Yu is looking for on this trip.
It turns out that he has been staying in Qingyang County since the last time he met Duan Yulou, and has not returned to Qingchuan County.
Cheng Yu stepped away from the city, spread his wings and flew towards the county government office, finally landing on the roof of a side courtyard behind the county government office.
"I know that Brother Huaijin is anxious, and I know that Brother's sword is extraordinary, but that day was really dangerous. Brother Huaijin was kicked unconscious by the bandit. If it hadn't been for the sudden strong wind mixed with hail, you and I would have been together. He was killed by the sword so early. It is a great luck to be able to survive. Besides, the county master has already issued a signature, ordering the county lieutenant to lead the troops to suppress the bandits and find the sword for my brother. It will be in vain for you to urge him. , it is better to just sit back and wait for the county captain to return to the government office for business."
"But I inquired yesterday that the county captain only led dozens of old and weak soldiers and had been stationed beside the nearest village outside the city for several days. He made false claims about sending troops to suppress bandits. If he did not bring harm to his fellow villagers, he would be a great man. Isn't that right? Can you count on it?"
After saying this, the door of the house was opened from the inside, Zhuang Huaijin walked out of the house, and Yu Wenpei chased after him and shouted:
"If you can't count on it, what can you and I do?"
Zhuang Huaijin stood in the courtyard and after thinking for a while, he stamped his feet:
"I'll go back to Qianjiang Fucheng to find the prefect!"
After saying that, he turned around and strode away towards the courtyard door. Yu Wenpei behind him was shocked when he saw this. He put on his coat and rushed out of the house and shouted: "What will you do if you encounter bandits again along the way? Even if there are no bandits, There are refugees everywhere on the way, and it’s dangerous..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhuang Huaijin had taken off the door latch and opened the two courtyard doors with a "squeak". Unexpectedly, there was a gentleman in white shirt standing outside the door, carrying a long object wrapped with a strip of cloth on his back. On top is an unsheathed bright silver sword.
At this time, the rising sun was rising, and the magnificent sun struck the sword, refracting dazzling rays of light, which illuminated the two people in the courtyard so hard that they could not open their eyes. They actually felt that the people at the door were standing in the light.
