The five people went down the mountain and entered the thatched cottage. They saw that the dishes on the dinner table were steaming hot, complete in color, aroma, taste, shape, meaning and nourishment. They unconsciously praised the cooking skills of Yan Luoxia and Xiao Ruoyun. .
Cui Yongyue brought the wine, filled seven glasses, raised one glass, and said happily: "I am a guest from afar, drink this glass to the full, and show your friendship as a landlord."
Gu Huai, Zhang Tianhao and the other five people raised their wine glasses, accompanied by Jiang Qingcheng, who drank the wine and started using the bowls and chopsticks.
After dinner, Cui Yongyue packed up the three rooms and arranged the accommodation for the five people. Then she made a large pot of tea and sat outside, enjoying the cool mountain breeze with Jiang Qingcheng and sipping the tea.
Gu Huai, Hu Yiqiu, and Zhang Tianhao washed themselves in the nearby stream, put on clean clothes, and sat with Jiang Qingcheng and Cui Yongyue, sipping tea and admiring the moon.
The moonlight is beautiful, insects are chirping everywhere, frogs are singing in an orderly manner, and birds are singing from time to time, making everyone feel comfortable and happy.
Gu Huai was drunk, and he was speechless. He said casually: "Old man Jiang, in those days, all the martial arts heroes were so quick to kill Tian Yu, how could you save him?"
Jiang Chengqing was not interested in such boring topics and was too lazy to answer. He closed his eyes lightly and lay motionless on the bamboo chair.
Cui Yongyue was in a happy mood when a guest came. She didn't control the amount of drinks. She drank a little too much. She was at ease and took over the conversation readily: "Gu Huai, you call yourself a hero in vain. You have been recognized in the world for decades." Knowing is not as beautiful as someone else's lie. If you are so easily deceived, I don't know what is in your head."
Gu Huai said: "But there were all the witnesses and material evidence at that time. How could I be easily fooled?"
Cui Yongyue said: "This is not someone who is easily deceived. That Zen Master Huiming is an accomplished Buddhist monk and a master of Taoism in the Chunshan Taoist sect. He has ignored the grievances and grievances in the world for decades and has become clean. Bai Tianyu has no grudges against them. There is no enmity between the two, let alone any entanglement of interests. Even if Bai Tianyu is hopelessly stupid and bad to the point of being rotten to the core, it is impossible for them to attack both of them at the same time and become enemies of both Buddhism and Taoism at the same time. Dig a grave.
Hu Yiqiu interjected: "It's true that Bai Tianyu was wronged. Why didn't he explain it to everyone clearly?"
Zhang Tianhao chuckled and said: "Brother Hu, none of the people who besieged Bai Tianyu back then were rushing to make a name for themselves. Even if Bai Tianyu was willing to show weakness and say that he didn't kill the person, who would be willing to listen. It's better to keep him. Heroic spirit, no arguing, at least the battle in Jueqing Valley has made those people with evil intentions realize that not everyone is so easy to bully. It is right to want to make a name for yourself, but don't find the wrong person. Killing your wife and losing your troops is not worth the loss."
"Of the three of you, Zhang Tianhao is the only one who has his own understanding. He doesn't follow the crowd and is like a real hero." Cui Yongyue took a sip of tea and continued: "The reason why the person behind the scenes framed Bai Tianyu was because he had his sights set on Bai Tianyu. Yu has an impatient temper, hates evil as much as he hates evil, and ignores others when he gets angry, and never uses his words to decide the winner or loser with others."
Hu Yiqiu said: "Brother Cui, if we don't argue, we have to kill people. In the battle of Jueqing Valley, enough heroes died."
Zhang Tianhao said coldly: "Brother Hu, those so-called heroes did not die unjustly and do not deserve sympathy. They listened to one side and believed the other, innocently wronged others without telling others, and stabbed Bai Yu's wife with a sword. That was a A weak woman who knows no martial arts and has never done any bad things."
Gu Huai whispered: "Xiao Zhang is right, those bastards are really innocent. They just want to take advantage of the opportunity to become famous, and they don't care about the morality of the world. Now think about it, I was really willing to be with them back then. Degenerate, I have never seen such a shameless thing."
Jiang Qingcheng sat up, glanced at a few people in the moonlight, and said softly: "It's all over. Those who deserve to die are dead, and those who don't deserve to die are still alive. What's the point of reasoning?"
Cui Yongyue said: "It is true that the matter is in the past, but who created such an unjust case in the martial arts world and why they framed Bai Tianyu. If we don't figure it out, we don't know if similar things will happen in the future."
Zhang Tianhao said: "Brother Cui, there is no way to investigate this matter. Except for Jiang Yulang, one of the few people who knew the inside story, who was active in the martial arts world, the others disappeared and were nowhere to be found. Moreover, after the incident, Jiang Yulang only said that Bai Tianyu was wrongly accused Yes, the other words were not mentioned. We were not involved in the matter, and there is no reason to press him, and besides, we may not be able to beat him."
Hu Yiqiu vaguely felt that this matter was a bit strange, and continued: "Not to mention, after the battle in Jueqing Valley, most of the heroes involved in this matter disappeared, and half of those who surfaced became martial arts scum, more or less I have done some evil things, and I still can’t figure them out.”
Zhang Tianhao said: "Brother Hu, when you say that, something is really wrong. Like Zhao Minghao, the hero of Longchuan, Hong Daolong, the master of Miaoyi in Wuyi Mountain, Zhu Rongfeng, the leader of the Nanshan sect, the Fire Cloud Divine Palm, and Feng Shihai, the old man of bamboo, are all Famous people with loud shouts in the world have actually come together with Qin Haoming and are willing to be his hawks."
Cui Yongyue asked: "Hong Daolong and Old Man Zhu also participated in the battle of Jueqing Valley?"
Gu Huai replied: "They all participated and were defeated by Bai Tianyu's sword, but they didn't attack Bai Tianyu's wife or do that despicable thing, so Bai Tianyu let them go."
Hu Yiqiu said: "Tian Tianyu was wrongly accused and forced into desperation by his fellow martial artists. He became the enemy of the entire Central Plains martial arts world. The man behind the scenes was most likely the evil organization that Qin Haoming joined."
Gu Huai was puzzled and asked: "What exactly are you planning?"
Jiang Qingqing replied coldly: "Who is Tian Yu? If his wife hadn't been a stumbling block, who could have hurt him? Once someone kills his wife and he escapes by chance, wouldn't everyone be in danger in the future?" , terrified and uneasy."
Zhang Tianhao asked: "Mr. Jiang, are you saying that the reason why the evil organization framed Bai Tianyu and made such a big move was to show off their strength and prepare for the capture of heroes in the future?"
Hu Yiqiu suddenly understood and said: "This should be the purpose. Back then, when Yu Ming was in trouble during the day, no one could compete with him. The evil organization could easily overthrow him and force him to desperation, let alone other heroes in the world. But even so, what’s the point of killing so many people?”
Jiang Qingcheng looked at the moon in the sky and said softly: "I remember that when the men in black appeared and caused harm to the rivers and lakes, it was the first year of Jingde, Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty. Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao Dynasty and Shengzong of the Liao Dynasty personally led an army south to invade the Song Dynasty. Later, Emperor Zhenzong came in Under the urging of his prime minister Kou Zhun, he reluctantly went to Chanzhou to supervise the war. The Song army was morale-boosted and held fast to the towns behind the Liao army. They also shot Liao general Xiao Talin with an eight-oxen crossbow under Chanzhou city. Liao army Due to its own reasons, the country chose to seek peace and formed a good-neighborly and friendly Chanyuan Alliance with the Song Dynasty, becoming a fraternal state. The men in black also disappeared from the world and have disappeared since then."
Zhang Tianhao stood up and asked in surprise: "Then the purpose of the evil organization is to oppose the Song Dynasty?"
Gu Huai jumped up and shouted: "Yes, yes, it should be right. The dispute between Song and Liao lasted for twenty-five years, and finally ended with the signing of the Chanyuan Alliance. The evil organization saw no hope and disappeared. . Now that the war in the northwest is getting tense, Li Yuanhao jumped out to resist the Song Dynasty and proclaimed himself Emperor of Xia. Those people saw the opportunity again and came out, intending to disrupt the martial arts of the Song Dynasty and help the evildoers."
Hu Yiqiu felt that it was extremely inappropriate and said: "Even if they have a deep hatred for the man named Zhao, if they want to kill the Emperor of Song Dynasty, they can just sneak into the palace directly. Why should they harm their fellow Jianghu people and implicate innocent people?"
Cui Yongyue said coldly: "Hu Yiqiu, you are so confused. There are so many people with the surname Zhao. If you kill the current emperor, a new emperor will immediately succeed him. As the saying goes, you will gain wisdom from every step. If you want to sneak into the palace wall to assassinate the emperor, it will be difficult. It's like ascending to heaven. If you want to kill all the emperors named Zhao in the Song Dynasty, you can only change the dynasty once and for all."
Hu Yiqiu said angrily: "But he can destroy the Song Dynasty if he wants to! Moreover, once the Song Dynasty is in trouble, I don't know how many people of the Song Dynasty will suffer, and I don't know how many families will be torn apart. For selfish revenge, so many innocent people are implicated, really Is it worth it? Aren’t you afraid of chilling your heart?”
Jiang Qingqing said coldly: "Hu Yiqiu, why are you so confused? Stupid and evil people would think like this. They only have their own selfish desires, their own hatred, and no other people's pain. I would rather teach me to let the world down than stop teaching." Everyone in the world has failed me, how generous I am."
Hu Yiqiu said: "Mr. Jiang, if this is the case, what should we do?"
Cui Yongyue said: "What else can we do? Whoever is an enemy of the country is our mortal enemy. No matter how many high-sounding reasons he has, no matter how wronged he is, as long as he does not repent, he must die!"
Zhang Tianhao said: "Brother Cui is right. Evil people must die and evil organizations must be destroyed. If you have a private vendetta, how can you implicate innocent people and help an enemy country harm your own family? It is a heinous crime."
Jiang Qingcheng stood up and walked towards the door. He turned around and said, "Go to bed early. After breakfast tomorrow, you can go back. I don't want to lose this good place to live in my old age."
Gu Huai stood up and said to Jiang Qingcheng's back: "Why are you so selfish! Eliminating evil and restoring purity to the martial arts world is not just a matter for a few of us, you should also have a share, right?"
Jiang Qingqing said coldly: "I spent eighteen years, abandoning the sectarian view, and accepted that child as my disciple, so that he could obtain the true inheritance of Master Chunyang. I have done enough, so there is no need to go into battle myself."
Cui Yongyue said: "Old man Jiang, I am also responsible for that child. It is not your fault alone."
Jiang Qingcheng smiled softly: "So, you can also retire here without leaving the mountain." He disappeared from the sight of the four people.
Gu Huai pulled Cui Yongyue's sleeve and asked, "Did you already know that the evil organization would come back?"
Cui Yongyue shook his head gently and said: "Look what you said, we have the ability to predict the future, we just keep wondering why Bai Tianyu was framed. He was a very popular Central Plains hero back then, and he was doing good things. , sit upright, and don’t have any life-and-death enemies.”
Hu Yiqiu said: "He Baitian Yuzhen doesn't have any enemies to fight to the death. Just because the Weeping Blood Sword will not be drawn out of its sheath, and blood will be seen when it is drawn out of its sheath, all the enemies will be dead. Even if the descendants of the enemies come to seek revenge, it will take decades. What happened next should not have happened twenty years ago.”
"The evil organization framed Bai Tianyu, harvested many heroes, and strengthened its power. But it left traces and you found the flaws, and it was destroyed. It can be said that cleverness can lead to mistakes." Gu Huaimai He walked towards the door without looking back.
"Go to sleep! You two must keep up your spirits and do your part to eliminate evil."
Cui Yongyue followed Gu Huai towards sleep, followed closely by Hu Yiqiu and Zhang Tianhao.
