Qingzhou City on the same day.
On the outskirts of Qingzhou City, there is a hillside that is not very tall, and the land is definitely not valuable. But since two years ago, that hillside has become the property of the Chang family.
This incident was considered a sensation in the entire Qingzhou City at that time, just because the people in the city did not understand the Chang family's actions. In their eyes, why would a businessman who had always been unprofitable buy a piece of waste land.
Looking from afar from the Qingzhou city wall, one can vaguely see the hillside that was originally overgrown with weeds. In the past two years, the Chang family had cleaned it up.
It's just that although there are no messy weeds, there are other things that are densely packed and occupy the entire hillside.
The Chang family did not send anyone to garrison here, but still no one has been to this hillside because it is full of people.
They are tombstones, tombstones all over the mountains and plains.
The thick aura of death exuding from that hillside was something that no one passing by would want to be exposed to.
At dusk, the setting sun illuminated half of the hillside. Chang An sat on the hillside and stared at the wordless stone tablet surrounding him.
There are a total of 2,207 tombstones, each of which represents a deceased warrior.
This is the Tomb of Heroes he built.
He picked up the wine bottle at hand, raised it high to the sky, and laughed up at the sky
"Everyone, I forgive Chang for not being able to be buried here with all of you. When we meet in the underworld next year, Chang will punish himself with a thousand cups of wine and make amends with all of you!"
After saying that, he took back the wine bottle and drank it all in one gulp.
Then he stood up and drew his sword.
Wow! Chang An's posture is free and easy, and his slightly tipsy sword moves are wanton and indulgent, doing whatever he wants.
"Gentlemen, look at this sword!"
At this time, Chang An was holding the sword of the Sword God. He stood in front of the 2,207 tombstones, using this sword to declare to them the victory of the world, the defeat of the Sword God, and the defeat of the Sword God. They had a glorious past of killing gods.
"Brother Chang!"
Soon after, in the distance, Zhuang Xiuyu called Chang An and ran towards him.
Chang An sheathed his sword and bowed deeply to the 2,207 tombstones.
"Xiaoyu, what's wrong?"
Chang An asked.
Zhuang Xiuyu's face turned red and she gasped.
"I'm looking at the people you mentioned."
"Oh? Are you sure?"
Zhuang Xiuyu patted her chest confidently
"Of course, it's just like what you said. A group of people came from the east. The man leading it doesn't look like a man, but he wears very gorgeous clothes. Behind him are a dozen burly men in casual clothes."
Chang An nodded and smiled. Ever since he heard Zhuang Xiuyu say that the man in charge didn't look like a man, he knew that they were inseparable.
"In that case, it's time for us to set off."
Zhuang Xiuyu jumped up excitedly, grabbing Chang An's arm with both hands and shaking it.
"I finally want to travel the world with Brother Chang."
…………
Next to the hillside, there is a wide official road, which connects Qingzhou and the imperial capital, Taiyang City.
On the official road, a group of people walked slowly from east to west. The man leading the group was dressed like a wealthy businessman. He had gray hair on his temples and was quite old, but his face had red lips and white teeth. He was holding a piece of white embroidery that was only used by his daughter's family. Silk cloth.
No matter how he looks, he doesn't look like a man.
But the dozen or so men following him were all fierce and ferocious.
It was this group of people. When they reached the foot of the hillside, the leading man gently pinched the orchid finger.
"stop!"
The man's voice was extremely shrill and harsh, which was completely opposite to the rough and arrogant voice of ordinary men. If he didn't have the face of a man, no one would think he was a man.
The strange thing is that the strong men behind him are not surprised at all, as if they are already accustomed to the man's voice.
With the sound of stopping, the wealthy businessman stretched out his right hand, and the strong men behind him stopped in their footsteps, like well-trained soldiers.
The wealthy businessman glanced slightly at the hillside beside the road, slightly opened his red lips, and the harsh voice spread again.
"Is this the land that the Chang family bought according to rumors?"
A strong man who was following closely behind walked up to him, lowered his head and said
"Sir, yes."
The wealthy businessman smiled slightly
"Ouch, I forgot what it was called."
The strong man took the words and said flatteringly
"Master, it's called the Tomb of Heroes."
The wealthy businessman suddenly realized
"Ah, yes, that's the name. It says that the world's great heroes are buried here. It's really majestic."
The strong man asked again
"Master, should we go directly to the city?"
The wealthy businessman thought for a moment and asked
"What's the news in the city?"
strong man road
"There was news in the city this morning that Chang An led a girl out of the city."
However, the wealthy businessman's expression became anxious and he hurriedly asked
"Girl? What does she look like? Is she holding a pot of flowers?"
The strong man said again
"No, it's said to be carrying a bow."
When the wealthy businessman heard this, he let out a sigh of relief.
"It's okay. In that case, let's go directly to the city."
After saying this, everyone continued to walk along the official road.
About half an hour later, everyone could see the top of Qingzhou City from a distance. The wealthy businessman looked delighted. After driving for several days, he finally arrived in Qingzhou.
The strong men behind them also looked relaxed
"Master, we are here."
The wealthy businessman nodded slightly and smiled.
"I've thanked you all for your hard work on this journey. When we get to Qingzhou, I'll treat you to a nice meal."
The strong men cupped their hands and thanked
"Thank you, sir."
Everyone continued to move forward, and the wealthy businessman asked as they walked
"Have you found the address of Chang Mansion?"
The strong man behind said
"I heard about it. It's in the east of the city. It's the largest household."
After another half an hour, the sky had darkened, and there were already stars in the night sky.
The wealthy businessman and others had already entered the city and arrived in front of an inn in the east of the city.
"Everyone, let's stay here for one night, eat and drink well, and follow me to do business tomorrow."
"Yes, sir!"
When everyone entered the inn, the clever waiter saw them at a glance and greeted them with a professional smile.
"Do you want to stay in the hotel?"
The strong man behind him was not angry and proud, and shouted:
"Nonsense, it's hard to sleep on the street if you don't stay in a hotel at night."
The waiter secretly estimated their number, and took advantage of the moment to look at the wealthy businessman carefully from head to toe.
For a person like him, his eyesight is always good. He smiled on the outside, but he was very happy in his heart. He knew that he had a big deal tonight, so he didn't dare to neglect it and slapped himself lightly on the mouth.
"Yes, yes, look at this young man's mouth, he always talks nonsense."
The wealthy businessman stopped the strong man behind him with a smile and said
"My subordinates are ignorant, waiter, we want five upper rooms, and we will be given five tables of good wine and food."
After saying that, he casually gave away a piece of gold, which was very generous.
The waiter was startled when he first heard the rich business man's arrogant voice. However, when he saw the rich businessman casually taking out a piece of gold, he was overjoyed and secretly glad that he had not offended the financial owner just now.
After taking the gold, he was a little embarrassed. Seeing the waiter's expression was very strange, the wealthy businessman asked
"Xiao Er, what's the problem?"
The waiter smiled awkwardly and asked tentatively.
"Dear guest, we only have four guest rooms left tonight. How about I change you to an ordinary guest room?"
The wealthy businessman looked a little unhappy
"Then can you exchange a room with other guests? I can pay double the price."
The waiter thought for a while
"It's not impossible."
As he spoke, he looked at a guest sitting in the middle of the inn lobby.
"It just so happens that the guest just checked into Room No. 3 of Tianzi today. You can go and negotiate."
The strong man behind the wealthy businessman heard this and said
"It's so troublesome, I just go and talk to him."
The wealthy businessman stretched out his hand to stop the strong man.
"I'd better go in person."
The wealthy businessman looked at the man and walked slowly over, only to see that the man had his back to the wealthy businessman, sitting upright, wearing a light-colored gown, looking like a scholar that could be seen everywhere in the city.
But he was not wearing a crown. Looking at the man's figure, it seemed that he was not yet in his prime.
After about ten breaths, the wealthy businessman came to the scholar's desk, tried his best to lower his voice, trying to make his voice less harsh, and said with a gentle face
"This young gentleman, can I discuss something with you?"
The little scholar obviously didn't expect this wealthy businessman who suddenly came to him, and his fair and tender face was a little surprised.
But he was obviously very well-educated. In an instant, his surprised look turned into an elegant smile. He stretched out his hand and motioned to the wealthy businessman to sit down.
"please."
The wealthy businessman sat down slowly. He took a careful look at the scholar. His face was white and tender, and his hands showed no trace of any rough work. He thought to himself: He is really a scholar who doesn’t hear anything outside the window.
"I'm Wang Huan, I don't know what to call Mr.
The little scholar looked at the wealthy businessman named Wang Huan with clear eyes, then smiled slightly and dipped his finger into the water in the teacup in front of him.
Gently, he made several strokes on the wine table. The handwriting was delicate and clear.
Wang Huan smiled bitterly and said to himself: He is really a rotten scholar. He just asked for his name, but he also had to write and write.
But the problem is, he can't read.
All I can say now is
"Sir, this is very difficult for Mr. Wang. I am illiterate."
The little scholar's expression changed.
"You can't read? That's impossible."
Then he realized that he had been abrupt again, and said apologetically
"Looking at your dress, you don't look like an illiterate person."
Wang Huan looked slightly shy
"Really illiterate."
The little scholar did not bother too much. His upbringing did not allow him to speculate on others at will. At that moment, he said
"I made an oversight, so I made a brief statement."
"Bu Qingwen is a good name."
Wang Huan said. He was about to continue talking, but he saw that Bu Qingwen's attention was not on him, but on listening to the conversation of the people at the table next to him.
I was curious at the moment, so I listened along.
"Hey, have you heard that the young man from the Gu family has appeared in the past few days?"
"Which Gu family?"
"Who else can it be? Isn't it the King of the North, the Gu family of Gu Jingshi?"
"Didn't the Gu family get wiped out a year ago? Why is there still a young master alive?"
"Who says otherwise? The Gu family is full of loyal people. Who would have thought that Gu Jingshi went to the imperial capital and never came back. The Gu family was wiped out overnight. However, there are rumors in the world that the Gu family's disciples will fight to the death. The young master of the Gu family rescued him, but no one knows the truth."
"This incident was quite a sensation at the time. It is said that it alarmed the Chu family, the leader of the martial arts alliance. When the Chu family learned that General Gu died in the imperial capital, he led his troops to attack day and night and rushed to the Gu family in the north, but he was still a step too late."
"Do you think this young master of the Gu family showed up at this time for revenge?"
"Humph! Revenge? Do you think everyone is a fool? Gu Jingshi, the king of the north, has made great achievements in battle and has a fierce reputation in the north. Even Jiajiazhuang, who once led the northern martial arts world, will give him three points. In today's world, anyone who dares to treat him Besides the one from the Imperial Capital, who else could be the one to do it?"
"snort!"
After hearing this, Wang Huan's eyes widened with anger, he stood up and slapped the case, and said excitedly
"It's nonsense. His Majesty the Human Emperor is so broad-minded. Not to mention that he won't kill meritorious ministers. How could His Majesty the Human Emperor carry out such a murderous act based on the life-threatening friendship between Mr. Gu and His Majesty. Even that day For Master Gu's crime of not obeying the summons and entering the capital secretly, His Majesty only ordered the Master of the Punishment Department to be imprisoned pending trial, and he was reluctant to touch a hair of Master Gu. You and other people in the world have heard it from hearsay, and you dare to slander today's saint at will!"
Beside her, Bu Qingwen gently pulled Wang Huan's sleeve and glanced awkwardly at the people at the table next to her.
The three big men at the table looked at Bu Qingwen and Wang Huan unscrupulously. One of them looked contemptuously and said
"Where did you come from, old fellow? It's none of your business to chat with your brothers. Is His Majesty the Human Emperor your biological father? Why are you so protective? Besides, the Human Emperor is in charge of heaven and earth, so he can still control what we say."
"Hahaha, that's right."
Not only the three big men, but also the surrounding people in the world also echoed loudly.
In the distance, Wang Huan's men noticed something was wrong, their expressions changed, but they were about to draw their swords and take action.
Wang Huan looked at the roar of laughter from the people around him and knew he was too excited. He thought of the secret mission entrusted to him by His Majesty the Human Emperor. He broke out in a cold sweat when he thought that he should not be too public. If things got too big, he would be punished for his trip. The purpose is not half beneficial.
At that moment, he signaled to his men not to cause trouble.
Slowly sat back down.
He said apologetically to the three big men.
"I don't understand the rules of the world and offended the three heroes."
The three big men snorted, but did not bother anymore and continued to chat on their own.
The martial arts people watching the excitement around them thought they could watch a good show, but it stopped abruptly and shook their heads in disappointment.
Bu Qingwen looked at Wang Huan with a half-smile and said
"Boss Wang, I see that you don't often walk around the world. You must know that people in the world never give the court face, and the court can't do anything to them. The two sides have always disliked each other. You may not be able to deal with the officials of the court with your methods. It’s okay, but it won’t work for them,”
It was only then that Wang Huan recalled his purpose and was almost taken away by these Jianghu people.
Immediately he apologized to Bu Qingwen, but then slapped his head and said
"Mr. Bu, I almost forgot to talk about business."
Wang Huan pointed to the dozen or so big men waiting at the door.
"It's like this. I'm a group of people traveling to Qingzhou. I wanted to rest here for one night and set off again tomorrow. But there are only four upper rooms left in the inn. I want to buy the one you are staying in at double the price. Of course, if you feel the price is not enough, you can increase the price."
Bu Qing smiled elegantly, took a sip of tea, and said lightly
"I take it for what it is, and there's nothing wrong with it. If Boss Wang likes it, I can give in."
Wang Huan is overjoyed
"In that case, thank you Mr. Bu."
After that, he said goodbye to Bu Qingwen and led his men upstairs.
Nabu Qingwen raised the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he glanced at the three big men next to him.
"It's interesting. The people I met tonight are all very interesting."
The next morning, sunlight entered Wang Huan's guest room. Although Wang Huan had his eyes closed in his sleep, the dazzling light still made him feel very uncomfortable.
He subconsciously put his palms in front of him to block the sun.
But when he raised his right hand, his elbow accidentally touched something. Wang Huan felt a little strange, why was there something next to his bed, so he reached out and touched it, only to find that the thing was a little cold, but it could He touched some hair and didn't know what it was. His curiosity was completely aroused at this time.
Wang Huan suddenly lost all sleep, and he slowly opened his eyes.
But the next moment, his eyes widened, he broke out in cold sweat, his face was pale, his fat body kept squirming backwards, as if to move away from the object in front of him, his teeth kept colliding, making chattering sounds.
The terrifying scene in front of me was like being in heaven, but the next moment I was dragged into hell by evil spirits.
His pupils were occupied by a human head.
Yes, a bloody human head was quietly placed on his bed.
The man's eyes were still open, looking forward in fear, and his eyes met Wang Huan's.
After about three or four breaths, Wang Huan's scream finally echoed through the entire inn.
"Ah~!"
