Chapter 14 Entering Luoyang

The third leader also responded with a lewd smile, and the two murderers reached a consensus, and immediately walked out of the courtyard with their weapons in hand.

Suddenly there was a loud bang, and two large courtyard doors crashed from outside to inside.

The wit of the second leader fell into another position, and quickly rolled away like a lazy donkey, but the third leader was rude, and subconsciously swung the steel knife in his hand and chopped it off. Unexpectedly, he came into contact with the courtyard gate It felt like being hit by a group of running bulls, a burst of force came, and there was a continuous cracking sound. First, the arm holding the knife snapped, and then the severed arm hit the chest with the steel knife, and the ribs did not break. How many roots were dropped, and the body flew back three feet like a rag doll, until it hit the wall before falling to the ground, trembling and struggling a few times, and then there was no sound.

"The third one!"

Seeing his brother dying in the blink of an eye, the second leader couldn't help but his eyes were about to split. He just got up and wanted to take revenge, but suddenly a cold and bright sword light flashed in front of his eyes, and then he felt his eyes suddenly rise, a The headless corpse holding a nine-jointed whip spurted a three-foot-high column of blood, and finally fell into boundless darkness.

It's a long story, in fact, from the explosion of the courtyard gate to the death of the two heads of Feihuzhai, but just a few breaths, it can be described as a flash.

Li Chengyu stood in the smoke and dust with the Sanyang Yiqi sword in his hand, the head of the main house could only hear the sound and pushed the door open, but he had a heroic appearance, a Chinese character face, a beard, and a tall figure , with a majestic physique, but the lewdness in his eyes is still there, he glanced at the two corpses in the yard, and couldn't help but his face changed drastically: "Who are you, why did you break into my cottage and kill my brother?"

Li Chengyu said lightly: "Ask Hades."

Before he finished speaking, he took a step forward, and in the blink of an eye, he crossed the three zhang distance between the two of them, and approached him, with the sharp sword in his hand piercing towards the throat with a gleam of death.

Although the master had been on guard for a long time, he didn't expect Li Chengyu's martial arts to be so powerful and his body to be so fast. Before the sword touched his body, the hairs all over his body exploded, and his throat seemed to be pricked by needles. Underneath, the potential was stimulated, and the sharp claws hidden in the sleeves were stretched out between breaths, trying to swing the long sword away.

However, he made a wrong calculation. The Sanyang Yiqi sword in Li Chengyu's hand is so sharp that even the Zhenpai sword Ziwu Sword handed down by Taoist ancestors can be broken at a touch, let alone this mere iron claw.

The clash of the sword and the claws was like cutting tofu without hindrance, like a thunderbolt, piercing through the throat, leaving a trembling and desperate man standing.

Li Chengyu shook off the blood on the sword and walked into the main house, only to hear the muffled sound of a corpse falling to the ground behind him.

On the big table in the main house lay a naked female corpse lying on her back, with scars all over her body, all of which showed the great torture she had suffered before her death.

Li Chengyu closed his eyes and sighed, after all, he came a step late, and suddenly thought of the child mentioned by the young scribe, and searched the house quickly, and sure enough, he found a pair of unconscious boys and girls on the bed, bound limbs and gagged , with tears and blood remaining on his face.

Li Chengyu felt even more angry, and gritted his teeth and said to himself: "It's not a pity to die, it's really cheap for him!" He hurriedly took the two children out of the house and placed them by the wall, and took another quilt to wrap them The female corpse was covered, and then I checked the left and right wing rooms, but I saw two naked corpses.

At this time, most of the thieves in the village were killed by his sword, and the few who escaped by chance scattered like birds and beasts. The whole village was dead silent. After Li Chengyu buried the three female corpses in the ground for safety, he set fire to the village, and then took the two children went down the mountain.

……

Three days later, the fishing boat arrived at the boundary of Pengcheng. Li Chengyu bid farewell to the fisherman's family and took two children into the city to rest. On the way, he learned the origin from the two young children. The third son of Tangjiabao's direct line, originally took his wife and daughter to Huai'an to do business, but he didn't want to be robbed by water bandits in Hongze Lake, and all of them died, except for a pair of orphans and daughter who survived.

Entering the city, you can see pedestrians on the street, and vendors hawking along the street one after another. Although the world is in turmoil, there are many rebels and bandits everywhere, and there are many wars, but the big city of this prefecture has little influence and is still as prosperous as ever. prosperity.

Although the Tang brothers and sisters had just experienced the pain of bereavement, they were still young after all. Li Chengyu took them for a stroll on purpose, and immediately they were attracted by all kinds of novelty and fun things, which temporarily relieved their sadness.

After playing for a while, Li Chengyu saw that the two brothers and sisters cheered up, so they found an inn to stay, and asked the boy to find a boat to Luoyang, the eastern capital, for boarding.

Right now the Huaihe River Basin is not very peaceful, the number of boats coming and going is reduced, and even fewer of them are willing to take strangers. After staying for five days in a row, an inn boy came to inform that there was a passenger boat coming to the pier, and they wanted to go to the pier. Pengcheng repaired for two days before heading north.

Li Chengyu was overjoyed, and immediately followed the boy to the pier, called on the boss of the ship for a conversation, and paid a lot of money to clear the way, and then boarded the passenger ship smoothly.

Two days later, the sail set sail, and the passenger ship left the boundary of Pengcheng. After traveling for half a day, it left the Huaihe River and entered the Tongji Canal. This canal connected the Huaihe River Basin and the Yellow River Basin. Millions of people in the county have been dug through, and the waterway is more than 1000 kilometers long. It can be called a miracle of water conservancy. A fatal calamity has fallen.

But purely in terms of transportation, it has played an irreplaceable role.

The big ship went all the way to the north and went upstream, passing through Suzhou, Songzhou, Bianzhou and other places. After traveling for more than a month, it just entered the Yellow River Basin, but at this time the weather was getting colder. The goose feathers were snowing heavily, and both sides of the river were covered with snow. In such a world of ice and snow, birds and animals disappeared, and everything was absolutely quiet.

Standing on the deck, Li Chengyu looked at the Xiongcheng with a white outline in the sky, and said in his heart: "Finally, Luoyang."

The passenger ship docked at the pier, and its own guards stepped forward to inquire about the origin. After the boss of the ship finished negotiating, Li Chengyu led the Tang brothers and sisters into the city following the flow of people.

Luoyang, this ancient boundary, occupies the south bank of the Yellow River, with Mang Mountain in the north, Luoshui in the south, Hulao in the east, and Hangu in the west. It is surrounded by mountains on all sides, but there is Luoyang Plain in the middle. It is a natural resting place, and it can be described as the leading strategic hub, the land of Longxing.

Throughout the ancient history of China, Xia, Shang, Eastern Zhou, Eastern Han, Cao Wei, Western Jin, and Northern Wei chose to set their capitals here. In addition to the current Sui court, there are eight dynasties in total. It was destroyed by military disasters, but only one or two points of historical heritage are left behind, and it is also the most prosperous and bright place in the world.
