Countless black shadows suddenly appeared in the quiet mountain village, shuttling between the trees under the pale moonlight, but making no sound, like ghosts in the dark night.
These ghosts and ghosts of the night were as dense as walking through the whole village, and in a short time they penetrated into every household.
The dog in the village just barked once and then fell into a pool of blood without moving.
Agou and his wife were woken up by the sound of a dog barking.
Aunt Dog asked: "Is there a thief?"
Agou said confusedly: "Where can a thief come from in this remote place? We don't have anything valuable at home."
"That old hen is meant to entertain the Immortal Master. If it is stolen by that greedy man, we won't have anything to entertain the Immortal Master."
Upon hearing this, Agou immediately got out of bed and quickly put on his clothes.
Before they had put on their clothes, the door of the house suddenly opened silently, and a ghostly figure appeared in front of the couple.
The couple's bodies seemed to be bound by something invisible, unable to move or shout out.
The word "ghost" came to mind, instantly frightening the couple to the point of breaking into a cold sweat.
Two words came out that were cold and emotionless: "Light up!"
At the door of the woodshed, he hugged Qiu Jintang and suddenly turned his head to look outside the courtyard, and saw a black shadow melting into the night and rushing in.
Xie Fu raised his arm, and the black shadow flew towards Xie Fu uncontrollably.
People in the martial arts can control objects out of thin air, but with Xie Fu's level of cultivation, ordinary masters cannot escape once they are locked by his true energy.
In the face of the huge gap as big as the sky and the sea, all resistance is in vain.
The black shadow screamed in surprise, and the person was restrained in front of Xie Fu from a distance, unable to move his body.
Xie Fu saw this man wearing black clothes and covering his face. He was either a thief or a stabber, and asked, "Who are you?"
Although this man did not know Xie Fu, based on the skills that Xie Fu showed just now, he knew that he was an extremely expert in martial arts. He said respectfully, "The prince of Henan East County has invited Mr. Huainan Dao Jiedu Envoy."
"Is father here?"
"Princess Princess!"
The black shadow was about to walk into the woodshed, but found that his body could not move, "Princess, are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
"Don't worry, princess, the prince will protect you and return home safely."
Xie Fu snorted coldly: "One day and one night comes so quickly."
The black shadow said respectfully to Fu Xie: "Now, I'd like to inform you that the prince of East Henan Province has invited Mr. Xie, the military envoy of Huainan Province!"
With such conclusive words, it was obvious that he had inquired and confirmed the identity of Xie Fu before coming. Generally speaking, Xie Fu was far away in the south of the Yangtze River, and he was in the same boat as the Prince of East Henan Province.
Li Luxi said: "He is it!"
At this moment, the lights in the dark mountain village came on. In a matter of ten seconds, the lights in every house lit up, and the dense lights of the fireflies reflected the outline of the entire Gentian Village.
Xie Fu knew that the villagers were already in the hands of the Prince of East Henan Province, so he said to the black shadow: "Lead the way."
The black shadow man immediately felt that the restraints on his body were removed and he regained his freedom. He thought to himself, it's really amazing. My body-protecting energy is as if it doesn't exist in front of him. I didn't expect that this Huainan Dao Jiedu Envoy was actually a top master. I had never heard of it before. Said.
He asked respectfully: "Sir, where is my princess?"
Xie Fu looked at Qiu Jintang, who immediately understood and walked into the woodshed to carry Li Luxi out.
The shadow man heard the sound of jingling and clanking and the scraping of iron chains on the ground. When he opened his eyes and looked at it, his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.
I saw that the princess was covered in blood and was being tortured extremely miserably. The extremely noble princess was tortured like this. Her voice trembled and she whispered: "Princess..."
"I'm still alive." The voice was obviously very weak.
The shadow man looked at Xie Fu in shock. It was hard to imagine that the Jiedushi Master was so bold. Even if the emperor was behind him, this matter would not be easy to deal with.
Xie Fuleng said: "Not leading the way yet."
Outside Feng Tianbai's dilapidated thatched hut, a huge bonfire was lit. The flames were more than ten feet high and clearly illuminated the surrounding area of more than ten feet.
Corresponding to this is a dark and lightless hut. Gu Yuling is standing in front of the house. Several corpses are already lying in the small yard surrounded by fences.
Apparently there were men in black trying to sneak into this hut, but Gu Yuling killed them before they could enter the house, so the lights in the house were not lit like other houses.
Standing outside the hospital was a middle-aged man wearing luxurious casual clothes, with a gloomy face that showed the majesty of a high position.
There were dozens of men in black standing behind them. Judging from the calm and compelling momentum of these men in black, they were obviously more powerful than the dead soldiers Li Luxi brought last time.
Ruining the feng shui of his Li family's ancestral mausoleum and humiliating his beloved daughter, Li Jingke, the prince of East Henan Province, used his martial arts power to the fullest to compete with the legendary military governor of Huainan Road.
"Li Jingke from East Henan Province invites the governor of Huainan Road to come out and see you."
The county prince was a first-rank duke, but he had more titles than real power. Although the Jiedushi was a second-rank duke, he had military and political power in one body. In other words, his status was equal.
Li Jingke's words were not condescending, and he maintained sufficient respect for Xie Fu.
Gu Yuling was the only one standing in front of the hut, and no one came out for a long time.
After Li Jingke said something, he established his position. His words were to show his identity and to introduce others. This would make the master of Jiedushi arrive soon no matter where he is.
After a while, a dark shadow fell in front of Li Jingke. He knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please come to Jiedushi to express your gratitude to the Lord."
Li Jingke looked sideways and saw this legendary military governor of Huainan Road, who was very casually dressed in plain clothes, as if he had just woken up and had not had time to change his clothes.
She looks much younger than he expected. To be ranked as high as the second rank at such a young age is not unprecedented, but it can be traced back to the dynasty of Champion Hou.
Before this, he didn't know much about the Jiedushi Master, but because of what happened the day before yesterday, he made a special effort to get a deeper understanding of the Jiedushi Master.
But the more I learned about it, the more frightened I became. Wang Wanzhi's fiancée was on good terms with the four clans in Wuzhong and was the key figure in destroying the Zhu clan...
It can be said that he is the emerging clan leader who has replaced Zhu clan. All indications indicate that he is also the stringer of the Nandi clan clan.
You can say that his experience is legendary and very lucky, but Li Jingke knows very well that there are only two words that can explain it, and that is - strength.
He had no strength, so he was attracted by the royal family and made a marriage contract with Wang Wanzhi, the unparalleled scholar in the country.
How can one be on good terms with people like Lu Tao, Gu Xuan, and Zhang Zhenghe if they don't have the strength.
Without the strength, how could the position of Huainan Road Jiedushi, which had always been vacant, be so securely held.
How can one negotiate with the Nestorian Church of Great Qin on behalf of the Emperor without the strength to make the decision.
In terms of power, the Duke and Prince's Palace in East Henan is not alone. There are also groups of Dukes and Princes with different surnames behind him, and there is the Royal Shenwu Pavilion in Chang'an. They are all equally powerful.
Tonight, the only way to fight was with martial arts, so the martial arts power of the East Henan Palace came out in full force.
There was a woman following behind Xie Fu, and Li Jingke quickly locked his eyes on this woman.
Strictly speaking, he was targeting the person behind this woman. Although he couldn't see his face, he could already tell that it was his daughter Li Luxi by wearing the elegant bun that only the ladies of princes could wear.
Li Jingke lowered his head and looked at the shadow man who was still kneeling on the ground.
The shadow man hurriedly responded: "Your Majesty, the princess... the princess is still alive." There were some things he didn't dare to say, and he didn't know how to say them.
As Fu Xie approached, Li Jingke had no choice but to turn his gaze to Fu Xie: "This person is Mr. Xie Fu, the military governor of Huainan Province."
Xie Fu slightly cupped his hands and said, "Is this the Prince of Henan East County?"
Li Jingke returned the greeting: "It's Li Jingke."
As he spoke, he bowed slightly and apologized: "It's all my fault that Goddess Yu was incompetent and offended Mr. Xie. I would like to express my deep apology to Mr. Xie."
Li Jingke is a first-class Duke and County King, but he has lowered himself to be so humble, which is considered the most polite thing.
Xie Fu smiled and said, "Easy to say."
"Thank you, sir. Can you let me see my little girl first?"
Xie Fu remained silent. King Yudong was always polite. As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person, but it was difficult for him to deal with it.
Li Jingke added: "I hope you will miss me dearly and remember me deeply."
Xie Fu turned to look at Qiu Jintang: "Xiaotang."
Qiu Jintang put Li Luxi down behind him. As soon as Li Luxi's feet touched the ground, his whole body collapsed to the ground like a boneless body.
Li Jingke was originally calm and just wanted to take a look. Seeing this scene, he immediately walked closer and said, "Lu'er."
Li Luxi responded weakly: "Father."
When Li Jingke saw his daughter's blood stains, he held back his heartache and asked softly, "How's it going?"
Li Luxi responded: "It's okay."
"Then stand up."
"Father, my feet..."
When Li Jingke heard this, he immediately knelt down and touched his daughter's legs with both hands. His daughter's arms were dangling all the time. It was obvious that she had also been beaten, and her whole body could not help but tremble slightly.
He stood up suddenly, turned around and pointed angrily at Xie Fu: "Xie Fu, you are going too far!"
Dozens of men in black drew their troops forward. Under the light of red fire and silver swords, the cold air was full of murderous aura. They only waited for the prince's order to kill the Jiedushi.
Gu Yuling also fell beside Xie Fu immediately.
Xie Fu bowed slightly and apologized: "Xie has done something harsh, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Are you the only one who would do this? The Prince of East Yudong apologized to him just now, and he can also apologize calmly.
Li Jingke was full of anger and was about to burst out, so he forced Xie Fu to suppress it with a slight bow, and said coldly: "Master Xie is really harsh."
Xie Fu smiled and said: "Is it serious? Your love struck harder, piercing my lower abdomen with a knife, but if you want to take my life directly, murdering a second-rank official in the dynasty is a capital crime even if you are a relative of the emperor, let alone a mere princess. .”
Mr. Xie understands these powerful people very well. When he can use his power to overwhelm others, he will never reason with you.
If you don’t want to be reasonable, then I will reason with you.
Li Jingke snorted coldly: "The dog girl is at fault. I will apologize to Mr. Xie. However, you broke off three of my son's limbs and tortured her to the point of dying. It is inevitable that I will not take him seriously and will not let the Prince of East Henan County go." In the eyes!"
At the end of the sentence, his voice was as deep as a muffled drum and full of gloomy murderous intent. As long as Xie Fu couldn't explain well, Jiedushi would dare to kill him.
"It was for the sake of the county prince that Xie gave me a small punishment."
Xie Fu said softly, and his face suddenly darkened: "If not, anyone who dares to offend me will be killed without mercy!"
Just you, the Prince of East Henan, will show off your power, and he will do the same.
Li Jingke shouted coldly: "I will teach you!"
Seeing the miserable state of his beloved daughter, Li Jingke was filled with rage. He was no longer as calm and stable as he was at the beginning. If his beloved daughter was not still in his hands, and if two groups were not involved behind the scenes, Li Jingke would have been an ordinary second-grade official. Killer with pain.
Xie Fu was not polite: "My lord, you said that you are incompetent in teaching your daughter, and that's true. Since you can't teach her well, and the princess is in my hands, I will naturally teach you a lesson."
Xie Fu's words were well founded and could not be suppressed or argued with. Li Jingke had never been so aggrieved before and his fists clenched loudly.
Xie Fu glanced at Li Jingke, who was on the verge of an emotional outburst. For the future of the villagers, this matter must be handled properly, instead of just fighting to the death with the other party. Otherwise, he would not have deliberately spared Li Luxi's life as a way to fight with East Henan. The capital of the county and prince's government negotiations.
He said in a gentle tone: "If you have the way, you can cultivate your body and then your family will be in order. If your family is in order, then the country will be governed. If the country is governed, then the world will be peaceful."
"In a small way, the prince is incompetent in educating his daughter. In a serious matter, the prince is very incompetent and incapable of governing. He is unworthy of being the lord of Yuzhou."
From the inability to teach his daughter to the inability to govern, Xie Fu is insinuating that the Prince of East Henan Province forbade the villagers to dig wells and cut off other people's livelihoods.
How could Li Jingke not hear it? He smiled and said, "Thank you for your talents and your mind. I admire you and have learned from you."
Xie Fu cupped his hands and said humbly: "I don't dare."
"Master Xie is right. As the lord of Yuzhou, I have failed to govern well. A group of unscrupulous people ignored the ban and dug wells and destroyed the tomb of my Li family. They committed such a crime of disrespect. If they are not severely punished, how can they be punished?" Be a warning to others.”
Fu Xie never thought that the other party would take the opportunity to beat him up. He only felt that the Prince of East Henan Province was much more difficult to deal with than Li Luxi.
It seems very unfair to dig a well for survival, but to commit a capital crime. In fact, what the Prince of East Henan Province said was absolutely right.
The status of the villagers and the Prince of East Henan Province was inherently unequal.
Seeing that Xie Fu was silent, Li Jingke finally regained control and asked gently: "Master Xie, according to your logic, should these villagers be killed?"
Xie Fu smiled and said: "If the villagers deserve to be killed, the princess should also deserve to be killed."
Li Jingke said coldly: "Master Xie, are you threatening me?"
Xie Fu responded with a smile: "Isn't it true that the prince is the same?"
"I don't understand something, why should I ask Mr. Xie for advice?"
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"Master Xie is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, and the rivers and wells of my Prince's Mansion in East Henan Province are not in conflict with each other. Why would you risk your life and fortune to go against me?"
"Fu Xie was born in a poor family, just like them. To do for him is to do for yourself. Furthermore, as an official, how can you remain indifferent when you see injustice and insist on upholding justice?"
"I wonder if Xie's answer can satisfy the prince?"
Li Jingke said coldly: "Then there's no need to talk!"
Xie Fu smiled: "My lord, please be patient for a moment. How about you and I each take a step back?"
Li Jingke laughed loudly: "Refreshing! Okay, you let Lu'er go and no longer hold you responsible, and I will spare these unruly people."
From Li Jingke's point of view, he had made a huge concession to take the overall situation into consideration, which could be regarded as breaking his teeth and swallowing it. The Jiedushi had no reason not to agree, but Xie Fu said: "Okay. But thank you. I have one more request to make.”
Li Jingke asked in surprise: "What request?"
"Please ask the prince to move the mausoleum!"
Zunqiang 02, please modify it after 48 hours. If the complaint is invalid, they will not answer your question and just make it formulaic and perfunctory.
