Yangzhou is an important place in the south of the Yangtze River. It pays heavy taxes to the court every year and has always been famous as a granary in the south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, Yangzhou is also full of cars and horses all year round, and there is no end to the streets.
Today's Yangzhou city is different from the past. It seems to be more prosperous. The vendors setting up street stalls found that within two hours, hundreds of good horses were galloping through a street in an endless stream. There is a man in a green robe galloping on horseback, and there are all kinds of weapons on him.
The traders thought that it was the big merchant who came to Yangzhou. A merchant with hundreds of fine horses was no small matter and could bring a lot of business to the merchants' restaurants and inns in Yangzhou City. But something happened that the traders were puzzled about. These men on horseback hurriedly left the city gate on the main road of Yangzhou City one by one, without stopping in Yangzhou City at all.
The vendors and bosses were just amazed that such an interesting thing happened. The guests didn't want to stay and there were no rules to force them.
However, what happened next was even more interesting. A group of men on horseback had just left, and another group came after them. Counting them one after another, there were more than ten groups of people heading out of the city. In total, it was probably not two or three thousand. people.
Naturally, this incident was reported to the government by the patrolmen. The government became anxious upon hearing this and immediately issued martial law. Two to three thousand men with weapons and uniforms entered Yangzhou City. Maybe there was going to be a war in Yangzhou. Great turmoil.
The governor of Yangzhou had ordered martial law in Yangzhou City, and mobilized five thousand city defense troops in Yangzhou City to prevent unpreparedness. However, the officers reported that these people did not stay in Yangzhou City and ran straight out of the city gate.
The governor of Yangzhou breathed a sigh of relief, but he still felt depressed. No matter who was resting at home and suddenly being reported by his subordinates that two or three thousand unknown soldiers and horses had arrived in Yangzhou City, it would not be easy. It would challenge people's psychological limits. .
Liu Song ran around Ma Mansion giving orders: "Master, the carriage has been prepared, and the three thousand nearby Liu Ye disciples have been summoned and are rushing to the outside of the city to rescue the young master."
Liu Zhi'an had a worried look on his face. What kind of carriage and horses should be prepared? I have to hurry up. If something goes wrong with my son. I swear to fight the White Lotus Sect until death.
Liu Song also hurriedly ran out to prepare his horse, and Liu Song was even more anxious. Liu Song, who was observing from a distance, found that Liu Mingzhi was being chased by a woman holding a sword, so he rushed back to report to Liu Zhi'an. Liu Zhi'an was as anxious as a fever. Like ants above the pot, Liu Song began to mobilize the nearby Liu Ye brothers. Liu Song did not see the real situation. He only said that Liu Mingzhi was kidnapped by people from the White Lotus Sect. It was not clear how many people were there before such an emergency occurred in Yangzhou City. .
Liu Zhi'an also loves his son very much. When he heard that Liu Mingzhi was attacked and that the criminal was wanted by the court, the notorious White Lotus Sect, he mobilized so many people in anger.
Hearing that Liu Song had prepared the horses, Liu Zhi'an hurriedly went out without caring about other things, got on his horses and left.
The right protector looked at the two people who fell to the ground pitifully: "You two, I'm sorry, I don't have as much murderous intention as the left protector, but the left and right protectors have the same problem. If you hurt him, you are hitting me. Face, not to mention the left guardian who asked me to kill you two, go in peace, I will give you more paper money, and when you get to Jiuquan, you will tell the Lord of Hell that the person who killed you is the right guardian of the White Lotus Sect, Lu Yang."
Qi Yun closed her eyes, hoping that it wouldn't hurt when she died.
"Brother Qi, I'm sorry, because I gave up your life in vain. In the next life, if there is an afterlife, I will still be your brother-in-law, and we will still be brothers."
The right protector didn't say much, and drew out the sword tied to his waist, preparing to chop off the heads of the two men.
There was a sound of breaking through the air, and a sarcophagus was seen flying in the air dozens of feet away. The energy of the sarcophagus brought up a strong wind. Even the right guardian was forced by the strong wind and had to step back more than ten steps to stabilize himself. shape.
The sarcophagus seemed to have its own life, standing firmly in front of Liu Mingzhi and the two of them, but it did not hurt them at all, which shows how high the skill of the person here was.
The sarcophagus that suddenly flew in blocked the right protector's murderous intention. Liu Mingzhi looked at the sarcophagus standing in front of him and looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere. Gradually, the appearance of a person came to his mind. Liu Mingzhi smiled happily, Could it be him? The coffin bearer died at the end of the Song Dynasty.
The right guardian stared cautiously at the sudden arrival of the sarcophagus, and was also surprised. The sarcophagus seemed to appear out of thin air without any warning, but the owner of the sarcophagus was nowhere to be seen, because the right guardian also thought of the identity of the owner of the sarcophagus. The sarcophagus is here, presumably the owner Not far away either.
"The White Lotus Sect has no grievances with you. We are just here to resolve some personal matters. Did it disturb you? If so, Lu Yang would like to apologize."
"Apologise? The coffin has been sent to you." A Lang Lang's voice came from all directions, far and near. A figure suddenly appeared on top of the upright sarcophagus, appearing out of thin air. His purple robe was fluttering in the wind, and he smiled coldly as if everyone in the world owed him money.
The protector on the right looked stern. The coffin bearer only delivered the coffin to the dead. How could he accept the sarcophagus when he was alive and well? "Why did you come here, Master Song? I, the White Lotus Sect, have never sinned against Master Song, right?"
"The coffin bearer never cares about anything else when delivering the coffin, only whether he is happy or not." Song Zhong opened his thin lips slightly and said a jaw-dropping sentence. The coffin bearer is the coffin bearer and always speaks so domineeringly.
The right guardian looked surprised and wondered secretly whether he had touched Song Zhong's brow somewhere.
"You are not worthy of my coffin." Song Zhong's words made the right protector breathe a sigh of relief, and he didn't know whether he was happy or angry.
"So Daxia Song passed by this place by chance?"
"good."
"In this case, let's make way with Master Song. After Master Song leaves, our two brothers are executing other trivial matters. Master Song, please."
Song Zhong turned his finger slightly and pointed at Liu Mingzhi and the two of them: "I want to take them two away."
"Song Daxia, it's not because Lv was unwilling to sell Song Daxia a piece of noodles. These two people first injured my White Lotus Sect sword-wielding maid in front, and then they injured my White Lotus Sect's left protector Xiang Ying. If we let them two go today, I will The White Lotus Sect will be disgraced in the world, and Lv will have no words to explain to the leader and ask Hero Song to think twice."
"I said, I want to take them two away."
"Is the surname Liu related to Hero Song? It is said in the world that the coffin bearers are always impartial in their work. Why are you obstructing my White Lotus Sect's revenge today? Even though the coffin bearers are famous, they don't take my White Lotus Sect too seriously, right? .”
Song Zhong smiled evilly: "White Lotus Sect? What the hell, get out." A roller was like thunder in his ears. The right protector took two steps back in shock. Liu Mingzhi looked and saw that blood was flowing out of the right protector's seven orifices. Becoming shaky.
Liu Mingzhi's eyes flashed and he exclaimed that this is a master.
"The coffin bearers are well-known in the world, but to attack the two little guardians of the White Lotus Sect, it would be a loss to your reputation." Suddenly, a woman in white clothes with snow-white clothes and fluttering clothes appeared above the pavilion. Covering the face with white sand, as soon as the person arrived, the rich fragrance filled the surroundings of the pavilion. The fragrance was intoxicating and the sound was pleasant to the ears.
"Ninth Elder of the White Lotus Sect, I thought you had been planning to watch the show on the sidelines, but you couldn't help but come out. I want to take these two people away. Do you have any objections?"
Just as the woman in white was about to speak, Song Zhong stopped her: "Keep your opinions to yourself, otherwise the sarcophagus beneath your feet will be yours."
The woman in white clothed in gauze looked at her face, her face was red with anger but she didn't dare to refute. The coffin bearer never left the coffin in his hand, and no one could refuse it. He had to accept it or not.
"Haha... A coffin bearer is a coffin bearer. As expected, she is very powerful. Jiu Mei is usually the most eloquent, but she never expected that she would be at a loss for words. If the people in the church knew about this, they would just I’m afraid I’ll have fun for a few days.”
Song Zhong looked at the old man in black, about forty or fifty years old, who suddenly appeared in front of him, and his expression finally showed a trace of solemnity: "Third Elder, I didn't expect you to be here too."
The woman in white clothes also showed a look of joy, but unfortunately no one could see her majestic appearance under the veil: "Third brother, why are you here?"
"Two maids holding swords and the left and right guardians were sent out at the same time. It actually took an hour to lead Mr. Liu who had no power to bind a chicken. The leader knew that something had happened and sent me to help. I thought it was some high-ranking official. The person is here, it turns out that Brother Song is here."
"Third brother, you came just in time. This guy named Song is too arrogant and domineering. You and I should work together to capture this thief."
Song finally sighed: "It seems that the coffin straps are missing this time. I have never wronged anyone. I will make an exception today and bury you together."
Song Zhong's feet suddenly exerted force, and the bottom of the coffin separated from the lid, showing an unstoppable force and attacking the woman in white and the old man in black. Facing the sudden attack on the sarcophagus, both of them did not dare to resist, and flew away respectively. The coffin lid hit the pavilion, and the pavilion collapsed and turned into ruins, with broken rubble and flying dust. The bottom of the coffin crashed onto the ground, and a thin crack appeared on the ground, cracking open with an astonishing momentum.
"Come back." The lid of the coffin and the bottom of the coffin became one again. Song Zhong patted the coffin lightly with his hand, and the sarcophagus flew towards the two of them. Looking at the sarcophagus in front of them, the two of them felt that they could not avoid it. They could only He resisted with all his strength, but the sarcophagus actually pushed the two elders thirty feet away. The remaining power was still there. Song Zhong raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, and swatted it away in the air. The sarcophagus became even more powerful, until it hit the two elders' chests. Spit out a mouthful of bruised blood.
"The elder of the White Lotus Sect only has such power, no wonder he would run away with his head in his arms when being chased. Song thought that the power of the imperial court was too strong, but it turns out that you are too unbearable. In this case, I will give you my coffin."
Liu Mingzhi and others were stunned as they looked at the destruction caused by Song Zhong's light blow. It was nothing more than this.
Song Zhong was about to take action to bid farewell to the two of them. Two figures flashed for a few times. Only three people were left in the entire pavilion. One of the White Lotus cultists was missing. Only a voice came from a hundred meters away: "Coffin bearer, today's enemy is ours." The White Lotus Sect took note of it."
"Come back." The sarcophagus flew back to Song Zhong's shoulder from thirty feet away. He lightly patted the dust on the coffin and said, "Boring." He turned around and carried the coffin away.
Liu Mingzhi had no chance to save him.
"Damn, I never thought I would save my life. Brother Qi, your sister won't be a widow. We are still alive."
Liu Mingzhi endured the pain in his chest, crawled to Qi Yun's side, picked up the porcelain bottle on the ground, poured out two pills, brought them to Qi Yun's mouth, and fed them. Qi Yun sat down cross-legged, and Liu Mingzhi completely passed out.
The entire pavilion began to vibrate, the distant city wall began to spread, and a cloud of dust rose into the sky. Qi Yun suddenly opened his eyes, and the White Lotus Sect left and never returned.
"Little bastard, you can't die. What will I do if you die?" Hearing this voice, Qi Yun felt relieved, and the three thousand Liu family cavalry Juan Chen rescued the young master.
...........
"Brother Song, you'd better bring tens of thousands of taels of silver. Just a jar of wine makes it seem like the Liu family doesn't know how to repay kindness."
Song Zhong walked out of Ma Mansion with a donkey face and a jar of wine. Liu Mingzhi never expected that Song Zhong, who had left and returned, would come back for a jar of wine. The young master handed you tens of thousands of taels of silver notes but turned a blind eye.
Song Zhong carried the sarcophagus and went somewhere else.
In front of the Ma Mansion, Qi Yun stood by the carriage and watched Liu Mingzhi farewell with an expression full of reluctance. Perhaps only two people who have experienced life and death know what cherishing is. Of course, what Liu Mingzhi cherishes is brotherhood. What is Qi Yun? Only one knows oneself.
"Brother Qi, you go first. I will return to Jinling after handling the transportation business in Yangzhou. I will definitely pay you a visit then."
Qi Yun pursed her lips and smiled: "Brother Liu!"
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"My sister asked me to tell you that she has prepared her wedding dress." After saying that, she got into the carriage and left.
Liu Mingzhi scratched his chin and looked at Liu Zhi'an standing aside: "Old man, what do you mean... a wedding dress?"
Liu Zhi'an smiled mysteriously and clutched the letter in his hand tightly. He knew it was a blessing in disguise, but he could hope to have a grandson.
Looking at Liu Zhi'an who had entered Ma Mansion as if he had picked up a million pieces of silver, Liu Mingzhi still muttered: "Marriage...wedding dress, damn, I'm only nineteen."
"Brother, wait for me and we can discuss this later."
