In the rivers and lakes, there are killings. No matter whether you are willing to be a slaughterer or not, you can't escape the grievances and hatreds.

The reason why there is love and hatred in the arena is because people in the arena have their own rules of survival, and if they touch the law of the bottom line, they will naturally have a murderous intention.

At this moment, Xiao Lian's trembling body revealed the fear in her heart, but this was just the beginning, and thus she stepped into the rivers and lakes.

Waiting is a headache, because you can't do anything, except drink tea and serve swords, there is nothing else.

In the upper room of Yuelai Inn Tianzihao, Guo Mingxuan leaned on the window sill, there was light rain, and there was tenderness in his eyes that could melt everything.

Shang Mo and Xiao Lian got along very well, laughing loudly and talking happily.

After waiting for several days, the three of them seem to be familiar with the current comfort. Apart from recuperating in the inn, they will also go to the streets, step across the stone bridge, enjoy the beautiful scenery of Ganzhou City, and linger in front of the interesting vendors. .

Located near the Great Buddha Temple in the southwest corner of the city, it is the most prosperous.The Nirvana statue of the reclining Buddha in the temple is very popular with pilgrims, and its incense is extremely strong.

Not far from the Great Buddha Temple, there is a storytelling teahouse. The storyteller in the teahouse today tells the stories of Liu Ji and Liu Bowen.

"It is said that Liu Ji Liu Bowen was born in Nantian Township, Qingtian County, Chuzhou. He was awarded a Jinshi during the Yuan Zhishun years. He has a wide range of classics and history, especially the study of Xiangwei. People at that time are better than Zhuge Liang of the Three Kingdoms. It is widely spread among the people. "Zhuge Liang who divided the world into three parts, and Liu Bowen who ruled the country"

"Hey, have you heard that the war in the Northwest was really tragic, and the entire army of one hundred thousand soldiers was wiped out?"

"Yes, I just heard that Qiu Fu alone led a thousand horses to raid the Tatar vanguard of the Luqu River. At first, the Tatars were defeated and they fled everywhere. They even captured the Tatar minister."

"Hmph, it was this captured Tatar minister who gave advice that led General Qiu Fu to cross the Luqu River and travel northward for [-] li, where the entire army was wiped out."

"Hey, it's no wonder that General Qiu Fu's reputation is far and wide. He led a thousand riders to a small victory, and asked where Benya lost his way. How can there be no reason not to take advantage of the victory and pursue it?"

"I heard that at that time, Marquis Wang Cong of Wucheng and Marquis Li Yuan of Anping bitterly advised Qiu Fu not to advance lightly, but Qiu Fu just refused to listen."

"The Tatars are cunning. Since they have set up a trap, how can they be easily seen through? Of course we will continue to chase after it.”

"It is said that Hou Huozhen of Tong'an also saw something strange at that time, and he was already a little hesitant. If Qiu Fu hadn't ordered to continue chasing, if he didn't follow his order, he would have been killed on the spot. How could he have been chased for several miles, and was killed Benya lost his way and surrounded them with troops."

"By the time General Qiu Fu realized that it was a trap set by the Tatars, it was already too late. The Marquis of Wucheng, Wang Cong, led five hundred cavalry into the formation, beheaded hundreds, and died in battle; the Marquis of Anping, Li Yuan, also led the five hundred cavalry to enter the formation. , After killing hundreds of people, he was picked off his horse, and he continued to yell at him, but he still couldn’t escape death in the end.”

"I'm afraid that Li Yuan is not only scolding the Tatars, but also scolding Qiu Fu who refused to listen to his dissuasion."

"What's the use of yelling? None of the four princes and one prince in the Northern Expedition survived."

"Haha, the whole army is wiped out. I am a good man of [-] in Ming Dynasty. Hey, at this time, it is even more obvious that Liu Bowen's clever calculations and strategizing in the storyteller's mouth. If Liu Ji is still alive, how can there be such a shame?"

"Hmph, my dear friend, you should eat and drink. Let's count it as a day if you live a happy life. I'm afraid our Ganzhou City will not be a peaceful place in the future."

"Ganzhou is the base camp of Gansu and Gansu, and it is also the important place in the northwest of our Ming Dynasty. Even the Tatars would not dare to invade."

"Have you heard that today's Holy Majesty received the military report that the entire army of [-] soldiers was wiped out, and he was furious, and he didn't know who to choose to clean up the mess, and he wanted to conquer the army himself?"

"The Holy Majesty's personal conquest will surely lead to victory."

In the teahouse, everyone was discussing and whispering constantly, and then regained their calm with sighs, while the storyteller was still telling the story of Liu Bowen's legendary life.

And everyone's harsh and dull words caused ripples in Guo Mingxuan's heart.The grief that he just didn't want to recall and remembered filled his heart abruptly.

The ending of the annihilation of the entire army was unexpected by Guo Mingxuan, and he could never have imagined that it would be like this.For the current situation that the Ming court has no generals available and Zhu Di wants to conscript himself, it seems so helpless.

Maybe, Guo Mingxuan shouldn't pay attention to these mundane matters and disputes; maybe, Zhu Di did commit the crime of fighting for power and proclaiming himself emperor, but he really valued the great Ming Dynasty more than his life.

He lowered his head with a sullen face, as if he was thinking about something, and after a while, he stood up suddenly and said, "Shangmo, let's go."

"Master was heartbroken when he heard the news about the soldiers of the Northern Expedition," Shang Mo said.

"If you come into the world again, you can't avoid such worries. The world's major affairs will naturally be resolved by the person in charge of the world. Shang Mo, today's world affairs are not just as simple as controlling the imperial power, but also share the worries of the people. Lost." Guo Mingxuan said in a low voice.

"Since it's not within your and my control, why don't you let it go, you'll always have to wait for some ending." Shang Mo said with a tense face and stern eyes.

Guo Mingxuan didn't say anything after hearing the words.Because today's Shangmo has his own style and demeanor in everything he says and does. With this self-contained and gradually mature cognition, there is no need for Guo Mingxuan to worry about him anymore.

Seeing that Guo Mingxuan didn't answer, Shang Mo's tense face relaxed. He smiled and said, "Master, I haven't finished the book yet. The story in the book is indeed a good story."

"Let's go, it doesn't matter if you don't listen." Guo Mingxuan said darkly.

After saying that, Guo Mingxuan walked out directly across the doorstep, followed by Shang Mo and Xiao Lian. The three of them looked worried and walked slowly on the way back to the Yuelai Inn.

Although the Yuelai Inn in Ganzhou City is located in the main street of the city, the pedestrians on the street are usually orderly. They are all doing different things. Of course, there are also young masters who walk slowly and have nothing to do.

Today, however, the street in front of the Yuelai Inn is full of people. Among the people are some people with black armor and short curtains, like soldiers stationed in the guard not far away. They are all young and strong, and they hold their waists tightly The hilts of the knives were all serious and unusual, and from a distance they were densely packed, surrounding the Yuelai Inn in a tight space.

The three of them rushed into the crowd, and after a few steps closer to the Yuelai Inn, they gradually heard what the soldiers with black armor and short curtains were talking about.

"I heard that after Yan Xu's death, the government in Ganzhou City did not dare to intervene in the investigation, so this matter has been delayed. You said that Zhang Tong led us here, is it because he wanted to take care of the cause of Yan Xu's death? "

"But the responsibilities of all the guards are ignored by the government that decides the case, so what's the matter with us?"

"Haha, you don't know about this. Our Commander Zhang came to Yan Xu's mansion the day after Yan Xu's death. The name is Suan Nian, and it is to occupy all of Yan Xu's family wealth. Yan Xu His wife is also a sensible person. Seeing that the family property is not safe, she didn't say anything. She just asked Commander Zhang to arrest the murderer who killed Yan Xu and avenge him. Our Commander Zhang brought us here today. No matter what, let's go through the motions and shut up Mrs. Yan Xu's mouth."

"I heard that Yan Xu was killed by a little girl. I thought about it and thought it was very strange. How could a little girl kill Yan Xu who was guarding him?"

"Since the death of this Yuelai Inn, all the guests have run away. What can our Commander Zhang find out? I see, our Commander Zhang can only use the innkeeper and Xiaoer Liwei. The two of them It’s also bad luck.”

Twittering, chirping, chattering and chattering, constantly spread into Guo Mingxuan's ears. Although this Yuelai Inn is the stronghold of Mieyingmen, the people who run the inn will not reveal their true identities.Apart from nodding and bowing, and responding with a smile, there was nothing he could do.

The three of them came to the door of the inn, but were stopped by four soldiers with black armor and short curtains, "Master Zhang Desheng, the commander of the Ganzhou Guard, is here to handle the case, and no one else is allowed to enter."

"Is Zhang Desheng on good terms with Mr. Yan Xu in Ganzhou City?" Guo Mingxuan asked.

"Yan Xu is a dead man now, how can our Commander Zhang make friends with him?" said a soldier.

"Then how many people in our Ganzhou 5 Guards are named Zhang Desheng?" Guo Mingxuan said.

"Nonsense, how many other commanders Zhang Desheng can have in the entire five guards of Ganzhou?" The soldier said angrily.

Guo Mingxuan smiled and said, "Oh, that's right."

While speaking, the innkeeper and waitress kneeling on the ground in Yuelai Inn glanced at Guo Mingxuan and the other three, then lowered their heads instantly.

The one who made the innkeeper and the waiter kneel down was a man with a broad back and wearing dark red armor. He was sitting on the bench, and since his back was facing Guo Mingxuan, he couldn't see his face clearly. .But the eight soldiers standing next to this person are all majestic and majestic figures with strong backs, broad arms and strong arms.

"Tell me, who is the little girl who killed Yan Xu? I don't have much patience. If you want to avoid some flesh and blood pain, tell me everything quickly." Zhang Desheng sighed a little pretentiously, and propped himself up with his right hand ,road.

"Little one, I really don't know. There were too many people and the scene was too chaotic, which made our inn messy. Both the waiter in the inn and I were cowards. We didn't look forward, and we didn't dare to go forward. Lord." The innkeeper said hastily.

Hearing this, Zhang Desheng wandered around for a long time, then looked at the shivering bodies of the inn owner and the waiter kneeling on the ground, and said sideways, "Yan Xu was killed in your inn, and you two will never escape." It’s to blame, if you don’t show some color to you, you won’t recruit.”

"Guy, the villain is wronged. The villain is just an ordinary citizen. If you really know the truth, how dare you not tell the official?" The innkeeper hurriedly said again.

"If you don't know, then you can teach me where to find the murderer," Zhang Desheng said a little rascally.

"Master, you"

"puff"

The innkeeper had just opened his mouth when he heard the sound of a knife entering his abdomen.I saw Zhang Desheng turned back slowly and frowned, "Who are you?"

"The person who wants to kill you!" Guo Mingxuan pulled out the saber from the waist of a soldier beside him, and stabbed it into Zhang Desheng's back.All the soldiers on the side were dumbfounded, and said, "Commander Zhang Zhang is dead."

Guo Mingxuan's knife was too sudden, even if Zhang Desheng had no less than 12 people guarding him, it was too late to notice the knife.Seeing that Zhang Desheng held the blade tightly with both hands and fell slowly, the eight soldiers beside him and the four guards in front of the inn also lost their minds, shouting the news of Zhang Desheng's death, and ran out of the inn in a hurry. They didn't launch an offensive against Guo Mingxuan.

"Xiao Lian is right in front of you, why don't you identify her?" Guo Mingxuan helped the innkeeper and waiter, and said.

"You are Ms. Haitang's best friend and a distinguished guest of my Mieyingmen, how can I entrust you to these soldiers?" The innkeeper said in a deep voice.

"You should know that they can't hurt me at all." Guo Mingxuan said.

"Senior, please leave quickly. This Ganzhou City is an important town in the northwest, and there are many guards stationed here along the way. Once Zhang Desheng died, the news spread, and all the soldiers of Ganzhou's 5 guards will arrive soon." The inn Boss, speak earnestly.

"Then why don't you stay and be scapegoats?" Guo Mingxuan said.

The owner of the inn sighed deeply, and frowned and said, "I have lived a comfortable life in this inn for decades. Although I haven't done anything earth-shattering for Miss Haitang, I have done my best. Now that I have saved the lives of the three of you with my broken body, I have no regrets."

Guo Mingxuan's expression suddenly became serious, he patted the innkeeper's shoulder, and after a little thought, he showed a wry smile, "Some righteousness is not just about sacrificing one or two people, maybe some conclusions and brave actions are needed. However, in my opinion, this is not necessary, and you naturally don’t have to sacrifice your life for righteousness. Because even if all the five guards of Ganzhou are assembled here, what can I do?”

The innkeeper's eyes were a little moist, but he still said firmly, "Senior, you are Miss Haitang's old friend. When Master Lengtong left, he ordered me to wait for you to take care of you. Once the five guards of Ganzhou are all assembled, even if you Martial arts are too high, and it is difficult to have many enemies."

Guo Mingxuan smiled, and said calmly, "I think I can, even if there are millions of soldiers, no one can stop me if I want to leave."

Guo Mingxuan looked at Shang Mo beside him again, and said, "Besides, I still have Shang Mo as my apprentice by my side, so it's not a problem to destroy a few guards. But these soldiers should be a sharp weapon to protect the country. If they help the tyrants to commit crimes and become the butchers of the powerful and the tyrants, then I will not be able to keep them."

"Master, I don't think you need to take action at all. I am enough alone, and I also have the responsibility to teach the indiscriminate soldiers." Shang Mo said with a slight smile.

"But, even if you kill everyone in Ganzhou's 5 guards, soldiers from other guards will come, this is not a solution after all," the innkeeper said again.

Guo Mingxuan raised the jug on the table and drank it down. "Everything does not necessarily have a bad ending. The so-called car must have a road when it reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge. Let's take a step at a time."

After the words fell, everyone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and sat down.Perhaps, some things in the world are just like this. Since you choose to face it, don't be afraid of unpredictable consequences. There is no better way than to wait quietly.

The drizzle came and went without end.The thick smoke in the distance is getting heavier and heavier. Perhaps in this northwest border, such a drizzle is kind and tender.Pedestrians on the street with their hands raised are constantly rushing; vendors and restaurants are also covered one after another and light up their lamps

It was a noisy and busy scene, but for some reason, it became quiet in an instant, so quiet that it was unbelievable.

"Swish"

"tatter"

As the horses roared up to the sky, majestic soldiers suddenly appeared on the street. Not all of them were dressed in black armor and short curtains, but more of them were in dark red armor.This is an elite division of the Northern Guards, and it is also the foundation of the Great Ming Dynasty.

The vanguard of the army stopped in front of the Yuelai Inn, and one man swooped in. The horse's front hooves crushed the bench in the inn.

The man on horseback is wearing a gray and white battle armor, and the bright red drape stands out.Although he looks like an elder at his age, he has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and an extraordinary look.

This elder was even more mighty and majestic. He put the whip on the reins, dismounted slowly, and said, "It must be this girl who killed Zhang Desheng."

The elder stared at Xiao Lian with sharp eyes. Xiao Lian was naturally a little uncomfortable, but she didn't have the slightest fear, "Yes. I was the one who killed Yan Xu and Zhang Desheng."

"But I'm a little puzzled, how did you, a girl, kill two men?" the elder frowned.

"The revenge of killing father and mother, as a son of man, must be avenged. As long as there is anger and hatred in his heart, he can kill them both." Xiao Lian took a step forward, filled with righteous indignation.

"Oh, it turned out to be driven by hatred." The elder said slowly.

"There is only hatred for this world, and it cannot be dissolved or solved." Xiao Lian said resolutely.

"But you killed the general in our army." The elder raised his voice.

"Zhang Desheng is indeed a general, but a general who is in collusion with local tyrants and commits all kinds of evil, it's worth noting." Xiao Lian said angrily.

"That's not for you to kill him, but for me to decide his life and death." The elder said in a deep voice.

"It's up to you to decide where you are when Yan Xu bullies the common people, intimidates merchants, buys and sells by force, and acts like a dominatrix. Where were you when Xiao Er wanted to lynch?" Xiao Lian asked loudly.

"The state owns the state law, and the family has family rules. Naturally, military matters must be handled according to military regulations. You kill our generals privately, no matter how many reasons you have, it is absolutely impossible. Come with me, to our army , and explain to the soldiers." The elder said sharply.

"Hehe..." Guo Mingxuan let out a long laugh suddenly, and said loudly, "I really can't stand it anymore. Zhang Desheng was actually killed by me. The old general may wish to think about the woman in front of you. Ruoyan killed Yan Xu, it's still possible; but if she killed Zhang Desheng, would you believe that Zhang Desheng is a commander in the army after all, can it really be killed by a little girl?"

The elder's right hand lightly gripped his beard, flicked it up and down, thought for a moment, and said, "What you said is not unreasonable. The soldier who came to report was indeed in a panic. He seemed to have said something about a silver-haired man. Could it be you?"

Guo Mingxuan smiled and said, "Yes, it's me, Old General He Fu."

Hearing this, the elder was shocked and said in surprise, "Oh, you know me."

Guo Mingxuan stepped on the bench with his right foot, slowly picked up the wine glass with his right hand, sniffed at the tip of his nose, and said, "Master Yang Rong is still in charge of military affairs in Gansu, right, I should call you Marquis of Ningyuan now."

"Who are you?" the elder He Fu said.

Guo Mingxuan sneered, "Marquis Ningyuan, with a salary of thousands of stones, and the right to act first in the army. However, when the [-] fine cavalry led by Qiu Fu were wiped out, you were not moved; your general Zhang Desheng, and the local You didn't do anything when the gentry colluded with each other. Now, Zhang Desheng is dead, but you are here. Could it be that you came here because your people died and you couldn't hold back your face?"

Guo Mingxuan glanced at He Fu, and said again, "If it's not because you can't hold back your face, could it be that you came here for Yan Xu's family wealth and female relatives?"

"Presumptuous" He Fu shouted angrily.

When the sound fell, He Fu pulled out the iron gun on his horse and stabbed at Guo Mingxuan. Guo Mingxuan raised his right leg, skimmed the top of the gun, took advantage of the situation, stepped on the tip of the gun quickly, swung his leg again, and kicked the top of his foot sideways. The iron gun swung to the right and slammed a table into pieces.

Seeing this, He Fu glared angrily and said, "No wonder it's so rampant, it turns out that there are really two tricks."

Although He Fu's words were strong and forceful, the hand holding the iron gun was already trembling, and the palm was already livid from the shock.Although, this is a pair of hands full of calluses.

Guo Mingxuan smiled faintly at He Fu, and said, "If you really love the soldiers and father and son as rumored, I would like to advise you to lead the soldiers away quickly. Otherwise, you will regret it too late."

He Fu said, "Today, if I retreat, I will lose all my face in the army. If my prestige in the army is gone, how can I manage the army and convince the generals?"

Guo Mingxuan shook his head and said, "It's better to lose face than to die one by one, isn't it? Zhu Di not only asked you to prepare for battle in the Hexi Corridor, but also ordered Yang Rong to go to assist you in handling military affairs in Gansu. Prince Yibei and others attached to Ming Dynasty and sent them to Yingtian Mansion, so what? Didn’t Zhu Di send Qiu Fu to command [-] elite horsemen to go to the Northern Expedition? Why don’t you, who are already in Gansu, not use it?”

When He Fu heard the words, he wondered, "How does what you say have anything to do with today's events?"

Guo Mingxuan said calmly, "It has nothing to do with it. It's just that if I were you, I would write to Zhu Di and return home. Now that you are the Marquis of Ningyuan, what are you still greedy for? Do you still want to be a prince?"

He Fu said, "Are you persuading me? Do you think I will let you go today if you say a few words of persuasion?"

Guo Mingxuan laughed again and again, and said, "Haha, it doesn't matter if you let me go, since the words are not speculative, let's make a move directly."

He Fu knew very well that he would not be able to beat the silver-haired man in front of him no matter what. As a guard of one side, he had the military power in his hands, so he didn't even bother to ask who the silver-haired man in front of him was.Instead of talking so far, there is nothing more to say, he could only wave his arms and order the soldiers outside the inn to launch a general attack on Guo Mingxuan and others.

As He Fu walked out of the inn slowly, a large number of soldiers rushed into it with guns, shouting and killing.

"Boom" several square tables flew out of the inn, and then the first batch of soldiers who rushed into the inn were also shaken out, lying heavily on the ground.

Afterwards, the second group of soldiers shouted to kill again, and rushed in. After a while, they were shaken out again, lying on their backs in pieces.

In this world, the soldiers are the ones who are most afraid of death. They march forward bravely, but they also rise up again, rushing and killing continuously.Even though they knew that the brothers who rushed into the inn in front were all blown away, none of them flinched, let alone fearful.

The sword energy soared into the sky, and a white light seemed to cover the entire entrance of Yuelai Inn, and then cut to the outside of the inn in an instant.All of a sudden, the clothes of the soldiers in front of the inn were all disheveled, and a piece of armor curtain fell off.

Shang Mo jumped out holding the sword, and landed firmly on the head of a war horse.He tapped his right foot lightly and raised his left foot. He said with a smile on his face, "Haha, Senior Zhou Guancheng's saber is really good. I can use it easily."

"Another person has come out, hurry up and throw it out" as a soldier yelled, more than a thousand iron guns occupied the entire sky above Shang Mo's head like ten thousand arrows.Shang Mo held the sword upwards, swung the blade back and forth, formed a sword wind, and cut off the steel spears in the sky one by one.

More than a thousand iron spears just fell, and more than a thousand iron spears were thrown out.As long as Shang Mo is not careful or makes the slightest mistake, he will die immediately.

At this time, when the fight was so anxious, a huge chariot came in the distance. The chariot was pulled by three strong horses, and in front of it was a domineering white horse, with slightly At the back are two pure black horses.

In addition, the decorations on the carriages and horses are extremely luxurious. The top of the carriage is light blue, the periphery of the carriage is snow white, and the top is surrounded by flowers. There are two maids sitting in front of the carriage, followed by There are more than three thousand men in black.

"Stop" on the carriages and horses, the one shouting at the moment was Leng Tong who had left a few days ago. She tapped her toes and flew up to the sky where Shang Mo was. The gun fell in the air.

Although this Leng Tong's lightness kung fu was not as elegant and free as Xiao Yuejiao's cloud-pushing pose, it was still light and agile.In the blink of an eye, all the iron spears thrown into the air were chopped off.

"Hehe, thank you, sister Lengtong." Shangmo said with a smile.

"Young master, don't blame me, Lengtong is late." Lengtong clapped her hands and said hastily.

"It's okay, sister Lengtong, these people can't hurt me, where have you been these few days?" Shang Mo asked Lengtong, while looking at the car in the distance.

"I was dealing with some family matters, so I was delayed for a few days." Leng Tong said.

"Sister Lengtong, who are the people on the horses and horses? Where are those people behind the horses and horses?" Shang Mo asked doubtfully.

"This..." Leng Tong's words hesitated a bit, she glanced sideways at Guo Mingxuan in the inn, Guo Mingxuan shook his head at her, and Leng Tong didn't say anything to Shang Mo.

"Sister Lengtong, tell me quickly." Shang Mo said urgently, looking at the chariots and horses in the distance.

Leng Tong didn't answer, and walked quietly towards Guo Mingxuan in the Yuelai Inn.

Suddenly, Shang Mo felt a pair of mysterious eyes staring at him in the carriage of the carriage in the distance.

However, the pink curtains on both sides of the carriage were slightly swaying, but no one could see who was on the carriage.
