son-in-law

Chapter 781 The wind rises and clouds gather in Zezhou ([-])

Since being chased and killed by the Great Light Sect, You Hongzhuo has spent the past few days in hunger and injuries. After meeting these two seniors yesterday, he just had a full meal.This morning, while drinking porridge, I listened to Senior Zhao's teachings about martial arts, and I just felt at ease and calm in my heart, and I couldn't add more.

He knew that these two seniors were highly skilled in martial arts, and if he followed them, he probably wouldn't have to be afraid to meet the "Heshuo Tiandao" Tan Zheng.But such thoughts only lingered in the bottom of my heart for a while. The two seniors are naturally strong in martial arts, but it is a great grace to save them.

After breakfast, You Hongzhuo said goodbye.The Mr. Zhao glanced at him with a smile: "Where are you going, little brother?"

You Hongzhuo thought for a while: "I... I haven't figured it out yet, I think my martial arts skills are low, and the Daguang Sect won't take too much effort to find them. If my brothers and sisters are still alive, I have to find them. ...Also, when I was murdered that day, the eldest brother once said that the fourth brother was eating inside and out. If this is the case, I must find the fourth brother and avenge this bloody revenge."

He had already thought about things clearly at this time. Compared with the Great Bright Sect, he and the six brothers and sisters were probably not a big worry.Yesterday, I met the biological brother of "Heshuo Tiandao" Tan Zheng, or it was just an accident.At this time, the situation outside is unbearable, and the green forest is even more chaotic. As long as I keep a low profile, I can always avoid this limelight, and then find out the blood feud between the brothers and sisters.

"If this is the case, you can walk with us for a few days." After You Hongzhuo finished speaking, the other party smiled, "You have not recovered from your injury, and you have nowhere to go. If you walk for a while, you can be considered a companion. Jianghu children, this matter. No need to be pretentious, my husband and wife are going south and are about to pass through Zezhou City, where the Daguang Sect’s branch is located. Maybe we can find some information. Beginning and ending.”

"Thank you..." Hearing what Mr. Zhao said, You Hongzhuo didn't insist any longer. He bowed his hands and thanked him. The first word came out, and his throat was inexplicably choked. Fortunately, Mr. Zhao had turned around and walked towards the green mule not far away. Walking over, it seems that I have never heard the words.

In fact, You Hongzhuo was only a [-] or [-]-year-old boy this year. Although he had seen life and death, he had no family behind him. He could not avoid the feeling of starvation, the fear of being injured, and even being killed.The reason for saying goodbye was because of his upbringing and the only arrogance left in his heart. He knew that after what he said, there would be no fate for the two sides. Who would have thought that the other party would still be able to keep it, and he was grateful in his heart.

The three walked all the way, and then went south along the official road from Xiangzhou to Zezhou. This road used to be an important commercial road when the Wu Dynasty was prosperous, but now the number of pedestrians has been greatly reduced.First, it was due to the hot weather, and secondly, due to the policy of prohibiting residents from fleeing south in Daqi, the closer to the south, the chaos of law and order, and the more stagnant the trade routes.

This area is close to the rule of Tian Hu, there are still some pedestrians, merchants in twos and threes, travelers, long-distance travelers in tattered clothes, escorts driving carts, and monks from the Daguang Sect can also be seen on the way. There are countless followers of the Guangming Sect in Daqi. Although You Hongzhuo did not like it, he also knew that the leader of the Guangming Sect, Lin Zongwu, was the number one expert in the world, so he asked Engong and his wife on the way.

Later, in Mr. Zhao's mouth, he learned a lot of old things about the Daguang Sect, and only then did he understand that the "Lin Yechan" that the female benefactor said yesterday is the number one expert in the world today.

At this time, the Central Plains had been ravaged by war and the continuation of oral traditions among the green forests had long since been broken down. Only Lin Zongwu, who had disciples all over the world, and Zhou Tong, who had been vigorously promoted by Zhuji in the early years, were still known to the public.Earlier, You Hongzhuo and his six brothers and sisters had heard some rumors about the Green Forest, but the information they heard from those people could not be as detailed as what they heard at this time.

That Demon Sect Saint Sikongnan, Shenggong Fangla, Ba Dao Liu Dabiao, Fang Baihua, Yunlong Jiuxian Fang Qifo, Iron Arm Zhou Dong, Red Face and White Head Cui Xiaolu, and even Yuxin Ning Liheng, etc. The entanglements and grievances between the masters of the previous two generations were described in Mr. Zhao's mouth, and the scenes of the once prosperous Wu Dynasty and the prosperous green forests became more and more three-dimensional in You Hongzhuo's heart.Now all this has been blown away by the rain and the wind, only the former Zuo Hufa Lin Evil Chan has dominated the arena, and the demon Ning Yi died a few years ago in the northwest to resist the Jurchen.

He has heard of some things, and some things he has never heard of. At this time, the simple weaving in Mr. Zhao's mouth is more and more embarrassing.

"...If you go west this way, it will still be a hell on earth. In the northwest, because of the three-year war in Xiaocanghe, the Jurchen slaughtered the city in revenge, almost killing it to nothing, and the plague broke out among the survivors. There are no less than a few people. Go northwest... Xixia, the Mongolians killed from the north the year before last, pushed over Helan Mountain, captured Yinchuan and then slaughtered the city. Now the Mongolian horse team has taken root there, and it has already shed blood. Chenghe... The world is in chaos, Lin Yechan rises up in the chaos, and confuses a few fools and fools. It looks like a huge force, but in fact, his achievements are limited..."

After hearing what Mr. Zhao said, You Hongzhuo suddenly thought in his heart that Mrs. Zhao said yesterday, "Lin Yechan doesn't dare to talk to me like this." What would be the status of these two benefactors in the arena?He didn't know who Lin Yechan was yesterday, and he didn't realize it yet. At this moment, he thought, these two benefactors just saved him easily, where did they come from before, and what did they do after that? These things, they are not aware of one.

He was not good at asking questions.On this day, Mr. Zhao occasionally told him some anecdotes about the past, and occasionally gave him a few things to pay attention to in martial arts and swordsmanship.You family swordsmanship itself is actually quite a complete inner sword. You Hongzhuo is a good player in the basics, but he used to know nothing about actual combat, but now he pays too much attention to actual combat. The sword technique has advanced by leaps and bounds, but it only makes him walk more steadily.

At the end of the day, the three of them stayed at an inn in a market on the way.It’s still a day’s journey from Zezhou, but perhaps because many merchants in the vicinity have settled here, there are many pedestrians in several inns in the market, but many of them are green forest hawkers with knives and soldiers, vigilant against each other and their eyebrows. Bad.The Zhao couple, who have the reputation of Heifeng Shuangsha, don't care. You Hongzhuo has only been in the arena for two months, and they don't know if there is any difference in the situation. When it was time to eat dinner, they carefully raised it, then Mr. Zhao ordered Nodding: "They should all have rushed to Zezhou nearby."

"What happened to Zezhou?"

"Walking around the rivers and lakes requires seeing all directions and listening to six roads." Mr. Zhao laughed, "If you are curious, before the sun goes down, go out for a walk and listen to what they are saying, or simply invite someone to drink. Two bowls of wine, can't you figure it out?"

You Hongzhuo froze in his heart, knowing that the other party was teaching him how to walk the rivers and lakes, he quickly finished the food in the bowl, and went out with his hands.

In the early days, he was worried about the pursuit of the Great Guangming Sect, and did not dare to approach these markets.At this time, there were two seniors in the inn, so they no longer flinched. They walked around the inn for a while, listening to people talking and chatting. After about an hour, the red sun set in the sky west of the market. It is possible to weave the outline of things from the fragments of other people's words.

It turned out that during the period when he was being hunted down by the Daguang Sect, hundreds of thousands of "hungry ghosts" were defeated by Tiger King's army on the north bank of the Yellow River. The leader of the "hungry ghosts", Wang Shitong, was being escorted to Zezhou.

Although the name "Hungry Ghost" is unpleasant, in the eyes of the Green Forest people, this force is not a villain. On the contrary, it is a well-known rebel army.

The emergence of "hungry ghosts" has its own reasons.But it is said that since Liu Yu established Daqi with the support of the Jin people, the situation in the Central Plains has always been chaotic, and most local people are struggling to make a living. Daqi first went to war with Lao Canghe, and on the other hand, he has been fighting Nanwu all the time. Liu Yu is talented. Limited. After proclaiming emperor, he did not pay attention to people's livelihood. He issued an imperial decree to conscript all men of school age in the entire Daqi as soldiers. .

Among such man-made disasters, natural disasters are also constant.This year, the Yellow River is prone to flooding. After the political system is paralyzed, it is difficult to maintain the embankments of the Yellow River, which will inevitably burst every year during the flood season.The flood, coupled with the drought and locust plague in the north, over the years, all the heritage of the Central Plains has been consumed, and a large number of people have migrated south.

Liu Yu's regime made great efforts to prevent this kind of migration. On the one hand, it strictly guarded the border, and on the other hand, it no longer supported and protected any long-distance communication.If there is no background behind them, and there is no road from the imperial court and local snakes, it is difficult for ordinary people to walk, and they have to suffer heavy exploitation by horse bandits, escapees, black shops, and government officials. It is not uncommon for officials and officials to arrest or slaughter foreign tourists, businessmen and travelers as fat sheep late at night.

These dangers cannot stop the desperate people. Every year, a large number of refugees try their best to go south, suffering the tragic separation of countless wives and leaving countless corpses on the way.Many people can't go to the Wu Dynasty at all. Those who survive will either fall into trouble or join a certain army. Good-looking women or healthy children are sometimes caught by traffickers and sold.

In this year, Wang Shitong gathered a large number of refugees and tried to make a way under the blockade of various forces. This force rose rapidly and swelled to a scale of hundreds of thousands in a few months. At the same time, it has also attracted the attention of all parties.

Jin and Liu Yu both gave orders to block them, and the forces along the way were actually not happy to see the "hungry ghosts" heading south-their rise was originally due to the local situation. Now, who can bully the king of the mountain?

Under such circumstances, tens of thousands of "hungry ghosts" were blocked on the road. After breaking the blockade of several Daqi troops, the refugees who had problems eating and drinking also ransacked the towns along the way. , Tiger King's army came out under the slogan of doing justice for the sky.Just a few days ago, the "hungry ghost" team that arrived on the north bank of the Yellow River was massacred and scattered by the Tiger King's army. Wang Shitong was captured alive and was about to be taken to Zezhou for execution.

Most of these Green Forest people went to Zezhou to support the righteous people under the instigation of the Great Light Sect.Of course, when it is said that it is "solidarity", when the time is right, it will naturally consider taking action to save people.And some of them seem to have gone with some kind of bystander mood, because in the mouths of these very few people, there seems to be a hidden meaning in the matter of Wang Shitong this time.

It is said that Wang Shitong, the "ghost king" who gathered tens of thousands of people and tried to lead them south, was once a member of the black flag of the Xiaocanghe Huaxia Army.Since the Black Banner Army resisted the gold for three years, it has become a legend in the Central Plains. After the Jin people left, it is said that a considerable part of the remaining Black Banner Army has been broken up and infiltrated into various parts of the Central Plains.

It is also said that the demon Ning Yi has never died, he has been lurking in the dark all the time, just creating the illusion of death and making the golden man stop - although such rumors seem like wishful thinking of the Black Flag Army, but it seems that there are real people. I want to use the incident of the "ghost king" Wang Shitong to lure out the remnants of the black flag, or even find out the truth about the life and death of the demon.

He learned about these things, and hurriedly turned back to repay the two seniors.On the way, I suddenly thought that the nickname "Black Wind Shuangsha" with a suffocating aura obviously does not sound like a righteous person in the green forest. It is very likely that the two benefactors used to be from evil sects. .

After a while, I thought again, but seeing Mrs. Zhao's action, killing Tan Yan and other eight people in a blink of an eye, like chopping melons and vegetables, such a prestige and suffocation really has the feeling of "double evil", these two kindness Gong may have not been out of the mountain for a long time, and now that the city of Zezhou is gathering, I don't know how those juniors will feel when they see the two seniors, or whether the number one Lin Zongwu in the world will appear, and what will they be when they meet the two seniors? what a feeling.

Just thinking about these things made me excited.

By the way, as well as the inner demon and the black flag, will they really appear in Zezhou City...
