There are "An Sheng in the World" and "Double Swords of the Empire" on the temple, and there are southern butterflies and northern tigers in the rivers and lakes.
The so-called Southern Butterfly and Northern Tiger do not refer to two people named Shidie and Shihu. It refers to the two most prestigious killer groups in the Han Dynasty, Jiangnan Butterfly and Jiangbei Cuhuhu.
The two major organizations separated the river and rose rapidly after the current emperor Liu Yan ascended the throne. With his fierce style, he quickly occupied a place in the empire's hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and became a feared assassin gang.
Let’s briefly talk about Butterfly Chrysalis, the largest intelligence organization in the Han Dynasty. Its headquarters is located on the bank of Poyang Lake eight hundred miles away in Liuzhou. Under Die Chrysalis, there are eight hundred colorful butterflies at its command and four hundred brothels as its stronghold. All the women in the gang are as beautiful as flowers and jade. There are countless slaves under Pomegranate's skirt, and their composition is extremely complex. They specialize in killing dishonest and profligate people, collecting their property, and dividing their fields. Their intentions are extremely upright, and they have a high prestige among the people in the south of the Yangtze River.
Lingyuan City's Qingyin Pavilion, which is affiliated to Liu Desheng's side, secretly planted a Diechu Caidie. The two assassin groups divided their territories according to the north and south of the Yangtze River. Diechu's move was suspected of crossing the border. However, in view of the Diechu Gang, the Chuhu Gang Without setting up a branch in Jiangbei, he acquiesced to the move.
The largest killer organization in the Han Dynasty, the Huhu Gang, is located in Duyuan County within Huaxing County, Quzhou. Under it, there are twelve assassins and thousands of gang members. The twelve assassins are named Zi, Chou, Yin and Mao. , Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai are code-named at twelve o'clock. The remaining gang members act in groups of three. They are both prosperous and destructive. Killings are not recorded by name. It is an extremely mysterious gang.
It is precisely because of the existence of the Huhu Gang that the people of Duyuan County have lived in peace for many years, without suffering from the exploitation of the family, and have been able to live happily.
And I, Zhang Wen, am from Zhangjia Village, Lingyuan County. Zhang Si, who sneaked into Qingyin Pavilion ten months ago with the intention of assassinating Liu Desheng, is my cousin!
My codename in the gang is Chen, Death Shichen, and I am also called the best assassin in the world, uh... at least twenty years from now, right?
I was originally one of the eight captains of Changshui in the Twelve Internal Guards of the Han Dynasty. Our gang leader, my eldest brother Sai Beili, was originally a general in Changshui and one of His Majesty's most favored generals. Years ago, the eldest brother summoned the guards and said that he wanted to enter the world for His Majesty. Without thinking much, we, the Eighth Colonel and the Fourth Attendant, took off our official uniforms, lost the bronze seal and black ribbon, and carried our swords. Jian, incognito, followed his elder brother into the world and settled down in Duyuan County.
In ten years and one finger, my hair is stained with gray.
I turned around on impulse, and became a complete Jianghu person in the rest of my life. Compared with temples, Jianghu can drink freely, do as much as I want, and use swords to eliminate evil. Naturally, there are not so many rules and cares.
But in retrospect, it has been ten years since I wrote or put down a single word, it has been ten years since I returned to Beijing to report on my work, and it has been ten years since I saw the emperor in the temple who once said he would lead us to create a prosperous and peaceful age.
I guess my lifelong wish will never be fulfilled in this life.
It is sad and lamentable, life is full of regrets, and water is always flowing!
.....
Above the rivers and lakes, the martial artist is in the third and twelfth realm.
The so-called person who can use all his strength to strike through a two-foot city wall without hurting himself is the realm of city destruction.
I don’t know the ins and outs of what my cousin Zhang Si did in Qingyin Pavilion, and I don’t know why my stupid brother, who is of low level, dared to break into Longtan Tiger’s Den alone and assassinate the eldest son of Liu alone. In short, this is something that everyone dares to think about but dare not do. The thing is, he did it.
I respect him as a passionate man.
Some time ago, not even a single chicken was left in Zhangjia Village. On the day I learned the news, I, who had been in the realm of pushing monuments for many years, pierced seventy trees with one sword and entered the realm of broken cities.
According to the rules of the Cuhu Gang, we are never allowed to take action before receiving half of the deposit from our employer, and we are not allowed to leave our respective jurisdictions. We usually live like ordinary people.
But this time, my eldest brother made an exception. He let me go on my own and follow my heart.
To put it bluntly, this is asking me to avenge the more than 100 people in Zhangjiacun!
On the way to Lingyuan County, I was holding straw in my mouth, seeing the desolation on both sides of the road, and my thoughts were hazy.
I was born into a wealthy businessman's family. I read poetry and literature since I was a child. Later, I followed my parents out of Huaxing County to the west and went to Cangzhou to seek wealth. Due to the banditry in Cangzhou, I was robbed by bandits when I was thirteen. Both my parents died. I did not want to return to my hometown. When he was living under the influence of others, he abandoned literature and joined the army resolutely. Relying on his ability to endure hardships, his ability to write, and his willingness to fight, he soon distinguished himself and became a corps commander;
At the age of seventeen, I was already a centurion in the army, at the level of a fallen horse, and my future was bright.
At the age of 20, when Cangzhou suppressed bandits, he took revenge on his enemies in my country. He rushed and slashed, but he was trapped in a tight siege. One of his fingers was cut off and he was stabbed more than a dozen times. Fortunately, his elder brother Sebeili arrived in time and saved the dying man. From then on, I will follow my elder brother Sebeili and fight in the north and south;
At the age of twenty-five, my eldest brother was promoted to the rank of former military academy lieutenant of Fengzhou Qinghe Army. A group of brothers in need and I accompanied my eldest brother in his post. I led the Fengzhou Qinghe Army to serve as a scout and centurion. At that time, the officialdom in Fengzhou was filthy and overgrown with weeds. My eldest brother led us to form our own system and became one of the few non-partisan and unnoticed minorities. Although we were excluded, we did not have to look at others' faces and kill them. If you drink alcohol and make money, you will feel free and happy;
When he was more than 30 years old, the emperor issued an edict and established the emperor's twelve internal guards to recruit people with lofty ideals in order to achieve great achievements. The eldest brother was deeply inspired and led all of us brothers to join Changshui Guards.
The Changshui Guards are one of the twelve inner guards of the Han Dynasty. They are responsible for assassination, intelligence collection, and protection of important personnel. They include one Changshui general, two deputy generals, eight Changshui lieutenants, four sergeants, and a total of 3,000 people. People, regardless of the affairs of the rivers and lakes, have no name in the rivers and lakes, and are directly dispatched by the emperor. For eldest brother and us, we are not only the founders of Changshuiwei, but also members of the 'family' of Changshuiwei.
At the age of thirty-five, under the order of the king, all the Changshui Guards followed his eldest brother into the rivers and lakes.
Since then, there has been a killer sect called "Kuhu" in the world.
These years are like sand that cannot be grasped. Ten years have passed in a blink of an eye. This year, I am already forty-six. I have been an assassin for most of my life. Thinking about it today, I have not been able to make achievements on the battlefield or become a champion in the martial arts. It is really Somewhat unwilling!
Looking at the 'Chen' sword in my hand, I unconsciously laughed at my own ambition and talent.
Among our twelve assassins, I am the last and the oldest to reach the level of city destruction.
I only entered Broken City at my age, my character is far from firm, and my talent is only average. Before escaping into the rivers and lakes, with His Majesty's special permission, we eight captains from Changshui went to the Zongzheng Mansion Arms Hall respectively. I selected the half of "Stone Whale Sword" according to local conditions. If I hadn't relied on this opportunity, I would have spent my whole life in poverty. Neither can reach the realm of pushing monuments.
Therefore, what I said just now is just an arrogant statement without any reason. Even if I had a smooth study life when I was young, with my talents, I would never be able to achieve as great a feat as the champion Huo Qubing and Fenlang Juxu.
...
To be honest, I left home when I was young and had no impression or affection for Zhangjiacun. I only occasionally exchanged letters with my cousin Zhang Si, barely exchanging information, and never met in person.
When I entered the country on the same day, I was not so angry because of the brutal massacre in Zhangjiacun. It was because I had practiced my skills and it came naturally. It was a coincidence that the two events happened on the same day.
I often tell my brothers: Do not use personal feelings.
In my pedantic opinion, since the Tigers are a killer group, they cannot break the rules for love.
Therefore, I did not intend to seek revenge for personal reasons, but my brother has his destiny, and I did not want to go against his will. I also wanted to eliminate harm for the world, so I stabilized my state for a few days and set out today.
Purpose: Kill Liu Desheng’s grandson! If conditions permit, I will kill his father Liu Xing as well.
When the flowers bloom and fall, the whole village of Zhangjia Village will be massacred, which is certain;
The King of Hell sent ghosts to demand his life. Liu Desheng met me today because it was his fate.
After traveling day and night, I finally reached a hill in the north of Lingyuan City. I saw the mountains standing side by side and the beautiful scenery. I was just about to climb the mountain to take a look at the scenery of Lingyuan, but I saw a group of little yellowtails surrounded by a big insect.
I hid behind a tree and watched quietly. When I saw the leading young man risking his life, I resonated with my heart. I suddenly remembered that when I was defending the enemy outside the country, someone once said to me, "I am a bait to lure the enemy away." , you should cherish' words like this.
The scene stirred up emotion, and I couldn't help but sigh with emotion: The brothers who killed enemies and made great achievements together back then are almost gone!
When my feelings hit me, my mind moved slightly, I summoned my sword to stab the tiger, and then I drew my sword and quietly pulled away.
In this life, it is difficult to meet like-minded friends.
May you support each other and be happy throughout your life.
