"Emerald! Go catch up with them!"
Jade glanced at Li Fenglan and said, "Be careful." After saying that, she chased the archers deep into the cave.
Everything that just happened happened so fast that neither Qian Wei nor Wei Yang could react. They only knew that after the rain of arrows, the old village leader had been pricked into a hedgehog, and it looked like he would not survive.
Wei Yang shouted at Li Fenglan: "Who are you?!"
The tall woman in the money guard asked doubtfully: "Miss Li?"
Li Fenglan stood in front of them and said coldly: "Yeyu Xiaozhu is not here to protect him at all. If necessary, he will kill him, idiot."
Li Fenglan is very angry now. This is the closest she has been to the truth since she left the valley, but she didn't expect that the good situation was ruined.
"My name is Li Fenglan, from Changfeng Tower. Do you have any questions?"
Wei Yang visibly trembled when he heard the words Changfeng Tower.
Chen Liu'er had already run to the old man's side and shouted loudly: "Uncle Jiang! How are you, Uncle Jiang?!"
The distraught Li Fenglan said impatiently: "The person is dead, can't you tell?"
Chen Liuer glared at Li Fenglan: "What did you say?! Did you bring these people?! And these three people! Did you also bring them?"
Li Fenglan took a deep breath: "Shut up, you are acting like an idiot... Let me ask you, did you invite Ye Yu Xiaozhu here, or did you come to your door yourself?"
Wei Yang asked with a cold face: "What does this have to do with you?"
"Xu Zhenbiao is dead, but I don't know about his problems yet. You two were close to him. Do you think I will transfer this hatred to you?"
Li Fenglan's thin body seemed to burst out with amazing energy, and she was able to calm Wei Yang with just one threatening word. But Chen Liu'er still didn't give up and said loudly: "Uncle Wei! This woman must have been the murderer! Didn't you mean Changfeng Tower..." Kanshu La
"shut up!"
Wei Yang stopped Chen Liu'er, and then sighed: "Miss Li from Xianrentang, right?"
"it's me."
He looked back at the old man's body: "This is our old village leader, and the Xu Zhenbiao you have been looking for. The man behind the annihilation of the Li family, Shangguan family, and Changfeng Tower nineteen years ago. Miss Li, do you want The answer is already there."
Li Fenglan shook his head: "Are you lying? If he was really the mastermind behind the scenes, why did Ye Yu Xiaozhu kill him? Are you causing trouble for yourself? He is a chess piece at best. We in the Xianren Hall are reasonable and only want to find trouble. No one else will be held responsible for the mastermind behind the scenes. Master Wei, if you know what happened nineteen years ago, please tell me honestly, otherwise... I don't have much patience."
Chen Liuer shouted loudly: "If you don't have the patience, then beat me! If I give in, you will be my grandma!"
"Shut up!" Wei Yang scolded again, suppressing his anger and said to Li Fenglan, "Miss Li, I don't know what happened nineteen years ago. I was just following the old village leader. If I knew anything, then what happened just now , I will also be killed."
"Okay, answer my first question, did Ye Yu Xiaozhu come to the door by himself?"
"yes."
"when?"
"Some time ago, less than half a month."
"Who is leading them?"
"The leader didn't show up."
Li Fenglan looked at the three money guards again: "You three are here just to collect accounts?"
The square-faced man replied: "Yes, I came here on the order of my master to collect debts from nineteen years ago."
"Your master already knew that he was not dead, right?"
The three money guards looked at each other and replied, "We don't know about this."
Li Fenglan rubbed his head and asked, "Is there an exit to this cave?"
Wei Yang replied: "It's the direction that the girl chased out just now... It doesn't hurt to tell you. The owner of the old village is gone, so there are no secrets here."
Only at this time did Wei Yang
Feeling sad, he slowly walked to the dead old man. Supported by the shafts of his arrows, he remained seated until his death.
Wei Yang pulled out the arrows from the old man one by one, looking very lonely.
Li Fenglan said to the three money guards: "You go, the one guarding the entrance of the cave was knocked unconscious by us and was not injured. Bring a message to your master when you go back."
"Miss Li, please speak."
"Just tell me what you know. If you hide anything from me about what happened nineteen years ago, I will chop him into pieces!"
Qian Wei was stunned for a moment, clasped his fists and said, "We must bring him to... let's go."
Li Fenglan didn't want to pay much attention to these people. They were chess pieces and knew even less. What matters now is catching up with Jade. She walked in the direction where Jade chased her. After taking only two steps, she heard Wei Yang say, "Brother Xu is a good man."
Li Fenglan stopped, turned around and asked, "Good people? Why did good people participate in planning what happened nineteen years ago? Why did good people become water bandits? Don't you feel guilty for saying this?"
Wei Yang had already pulled out several arrow shafts, gently laid Xu Zhenbiao's body flat, and picked up a pillow towel to wipe the overflowing blood.
He smiled miserably and said: "You are still young and don't understand what people in the world thought of the three families back then. If you had, you would know how many people wanted to eat their flesh alive... As for being a water bandit, it was just to control the people. People like you."
Li Fenglan was confused: "A person like me?"
"Domineering and tyrannical, treating human life as nothing, always treating himself as the superior, and being arrogant..."
Li Fenglan wanted to retort, but when she thought about what he said, except for the sentence "treat human life as nothing", everything else seemed to be quite right.
Wei Yang said slowly, "I wonder if Miss Li has noticed? The water bandits in Poyang Lake are a bit unbearable. They have silver-like pewter spear points. Once they fight against the odds, they will be defeated."
Li Fenglan nodded: "Indeed."
"Haha... This was not the case more than ten years ago. At that time, the eighteen water bandits united and the entire martial arts world could not be shaken. If fishermen along the lake want to live a stable life, they must pay rent every month, otherwise it will be bloody revenge. Merchant ships coming and going There is no way to spare the tolls... The common people are miserable. However, since Jiulian Village began to suppress water bandits, the murders on Poyang Lake have decreased a lot. In recent years, many water villages have been under the name of Jiulian Village. There are also many water forts that have been disbanded. Even these remaining water forts have little power and cannot influence the situation in Poyang Lake. Miss Li, guess who did these?"
Li Fenglan was a little speechless. When she was a child, she heard Chen Yi and Mo Changfeng tell many stories about rivers and lakes, and there were also many stories about water bandits. In those stories, the water bandits all appeared as villains, each of them fierce and tough, killing without blinking an eye. When I arrived in Jiujiang in person, I found that these water bandits...were not good at it.
Wei Yang continued: "Brother Xu did all of this... I know that Miss Li is both cinnabar and tourmaline, and you are the person behind the recent turmoil in Poyang Lake. It's a pity that more than ten years of hard work have been wasted. , A few years later, the water bandits came back, but at that time, there was no longer Jiulian Village to suppress them, and the people along the coast were suffering. Miss Li is a noble person, born to be a noble person. You bear a blood feud, did you ever know this How many people in the world share the same hatred as you? It’s just that they are different from you. Your hatred is known to everyone in the world, and every move you make is seen by all forces. But others are not so lucky. Most of them are unknown, and they will never be able to take revenge until they die, so they can only regret it for the rest of their lives. Brother Xu is such a person, and I am also such a person. "
At this point, Wei Yang had already covered Xu Zhenbiao's body with a quilt. He stood up and pointed at Chen Liu'er: "This child is the same. His mother participated in the siege of Changfeng Tower with various sects and died outside Chaolan Valley. He fell under the sword of the swordsman Chen Yan. His father died in a fight with the water bandits... At least the death of his parents was worth more than the death of your Changfeng Tower, Shangguan family, and Li family."
Chen Liuer was stunned when he heard this and asked blankly: "Uncle, didn't you say that my mother died of illness?"
"The reason why I say this is to prevent you from taking revenge... Liuzi, put it down. Your parents have a lot of Changfenglou's blood on their hands. When will the injustice be repaid."
Chen Liuer stared at Li Fenglan, as if he would
Rush forward and fight Li Fenglan desperately.
Wei Yang waved his hand and said feebly: "Miss Li, you can go. From now on, we in Jiulian Village can only guard this three-acre land with peace of mind. We are unable to unite the water bandits from all walks of life. Please be merciful to Miss Li in the future." In fact...if you don't come, Brother Wei won't be able to live for a few days. He is only fifty-three this year, and he has aged like this after more than ten years of worry."
Li Fenglan suddenly felt guilty, as if she had done something hugely wrong.
She hesitated again and again and said dryly: "How offending."
After saying that, he went after Jade.
Chen Liuer said loudly to Wei Yang, "Uncle! I can't be more angry!"
"I know...Liuzi, the people in Jiulian Village are unstable now, and several heads of the family want to set up their own business. With Uncle Jiang gone, I have no intention of staying here anymore. I have saved some money over the years. If you are willing, go with your uncle. I will have no children in my life, and you will provide for me until the end of my life. If you don't want to, go out and make a living while you are young, but if you get into trouble outside, your uncle can't help you. You also have to hide your identity, and you can’t tell people that you used to be a water bandit.”
Listening to Wei Yang's sincere words, Chen Liu'er shook his head violently: "I won't leave! Uncle, you can't leave either! If you leave, Jiulian Village will be scattered! My father, my mother, and Uncle Jiang will all die in vain. !」
Although Chen Liuer's name has six in it, he is a very unscrupulous person. He is rough in work and has a stubborn temper, and it is difficult for him to achieve great things. Wei Yang didn't expect to hear such words from his mouth.
Chen Liu'er continued: "Why not just unify Poyang Lake? It's not difficult. If our strength is damaged, how can other water villages fare better? Uncle Jiang is in his fifties, as old as he is in his seventies. What has he been doing all these years? Uncle, you can't let Uncle Jiang feel cold. You have to stay here, and I have to stay here too! We have to finish Uncle Jiang's affairs!"
Wei Yang couldn't help but burst into tears. He patted Chen Liu'er on the shoulder: "Okay, Liu'er, remember what you said today!"
"I will never forget it in my life! That girl from Changfeng Tower, I saw her just now. She was just like that. I thought she was as beautiful as a fairy."
Wei Yang looked at the promising young man in front of him and smiled happily.
