[Ancient Sage of the Spring and Autumn Period]: What should I do if there are enemies? Kill him first; what if he is about to become an enemy? Kill secretly. If there is an enemy, strike first, use all your strength, and kill him by any means necessary! Later generations joked: The reason why I, the ancient sage, became a sage is because I killed all my enemies.
…
Cao Kaijin was beheaded.
He died on the spot.
It was very frustrating to die, even if someone was discovered secretly in advance, he still died without even seeing the face of the person who attacked him.
"Who are you?" The young man rubbed his belly and stood up, with a look of surprise and vigilance on his face.
It's not necessarily the good guy who kills his opponent.
"It doesn't matter who I am, what's important is that I saved you." Yang Fan was also wary and did not step forward, "Can you tell me about the Zijin Mine?"
"Why are you asking?"
"My father is a hunter and has disappeared for a year."
"That's it!" The young man glanced at the beheaded Cao Kaijin and felt the injuries on his body.
He understood that if the other party really wanted to kill him, he might not be able to stop him.
Sighing secretly.
He squatted down, grinned, and speculated: "You heard the conversation between the two of us, Cao Kaijin and the others were arresting hunters, and there was a situation of thousands of people in the pit, so you took action?"
Yang Fan nodded.
"Anyway, thank you very much. If it weren't for you, I would have been killed today." The young man smiled and said, "I am Lou Qingshan, what do you call me brother?"
"Yang Fan!"
"It turns out to be Brother Yang! How about I talk to you after I bandage it briefly?"
"Not urgent!"
"Okay!" Lou Qingshan was relieved.
There was a suitable reason for killing Cao Kaijin, he was young, he also reported his name, and even allowed himself to heal his wounds. There was no hostility in all likelihood.
He took out the golden sore medicine from his arms and sprinkled it wherever he could reach it, but there were many wounds on his back.
Seeing that Yang Fan didn't come forward, Lou Qingshan was really relieved and said with a smile: "Brother Yang, can you bandage it for me? I really can't reach the back."
"Okay!" Yang Fan also relaxed his vigilance a little.
But the 'earth sense' is always on.
The dragon scale sword has been sheathed.
He walked over, took the medicine bottle, and simply bandaged the other person.
This behavior allowed the two to establish initial trust.
Lou Qingshan leaned against the stone wall, exhaled a long breath, and continued the topic: "I have a good friend who lives at the foot of the mountain. His father is a hunter. After entering the mountain once, the entire hunting team disappeared without a trace. , went into the mountain to check but found nothing. Later, he heard that many hunters disappeared in the surrounding villages and towns, so he felt something was wrong, and asked me to investigate, and found some clues, which led me to this place. "
He sighed softly, and then said: "Who would have thought that a large number of hunters were captured here, all along the periphery of Yunwu Mountain, and sent to the mines to make people slaves and work them to death. I checked When we arrived at two thousand-man pits, a large number of venomous snakes were kept in them. After the people died, they were thrown down and then eaten up, leaving only the bones."
Yang Fan listened quietly.
He also kept asking questions.
Such as King Tianhe.
He was the youngest son of the previous emperor of the Daqian Dynasty. He died before the old emperor could reach adulthood. When he came of age, he was sealed in Tianshui County and given the title of Tianhe.
After becoming a vassal, he became the dominant tyrant in the county.
The simplest example can explain everything. For example, when you are shopping for nothing, you will snatch a girl from the house you like on the street.
If only that was it.
But after playing enough, it either becomes flower fertilizer or is fed to pets. If anyone dares to cause trouble or complain, the whole family will be killed.
"You patrol guards don't care?" Yang Fan frowned.
"The Patrol Division only kills demons and suppresses the sect." Lou Qingshan smiled bitterly, "The affairs of the county king are under the jurisdiction of the local officials or the sect's mansion. But in the local area, who can offend the king."
"Isn't there anything you can't stand?"
"Yes, there are many more, but what can he do? Not to mention his own cultivation, he is also a guest in the palace, a guard, etc., who can break in? Just look at how strong Cao Kaijin is. He is just guarding the mine. The deputy commander, another commander led elites for special training in the mountains, and another deputy commander also led a group of guards to practice."
Yang Fan couldn't help but nod his head after hearing this.
Strength and power go hand in hand most of the time.
On the road to martial arts, it would be too difficult to achieve success without money.
But being powerful means having skills and money, being able to support martial arts practice, and even carry out training far beyond ordinary people's imagination.
Yang Fan asked in more detail.
There is detailed information about the Tianhe King Talisman in the Tianxuan Tower in the city. As a Tianhe Guardian, Lou Qingshan naturally knows a lot about it.
In the palace, the leader is a fourth-grade cultivation level.
In addition, there is Keqing, who is a third-level cultivation, and should only be in the third-level realm. As for the second-level?
Probably not.
After all, he is just an idle prince who is not taken seriously.
The most ungrateful person in the Prince's Palace is the eldest prince, His Royal Highness, who is domineering and vicious.
"Did he violate a taboo by training in the mountains?" Yang Fan asked.
"Strictly speaking, forget it!" Lou Qingshan said helplessly, "But as a county king, he has a certain number of personal guards. For personal guards, no amount of training can be done too much, and no one is making a fuss about this matter."
"According to what you said, after all the evil deeds have been done in the palace, there will be no enemies? Evenly matched enemies!" Yang Fan asked.
Lou Qingshan looked at him meaningfully and said: "Yes! In Yuzhu County, which is adjacent to Tianshui County, there is a Yuzhu Mountain, and there is a Divine Fist Sect on the mountain. Four years ago, the daughter of the sect owner went to Tianshui City to play. The prince took notice of her and tried to rob her, but was slapped in the face. However, she was eventually taken to the palace. The woman died shortly after, which was very tragic. After the Shenquan Sect learned the news, they all shared the same hatred and attacked Tianshui City, almost destroying the palace. It was overturned!"
"The palace is powerful, but the Divine Fist Sect has many secret moves. It affected many people at that time, causing countless casualties!"
"The Xuantian Tower in the county city was unable to suppress it, so the state city sent people to suppress the Shen Fist Sect forcefully. However, I couldn't stand the county prince's palace, so I didn't deliberately suppress the Shen Fist Sect."
Lou Qingshan told a story from the past.
"You dare to defile and kill the daughter of a powerful sect leader? She is really lawless." Yang Fan marveled, and asked as if unintentionally, "If you practice in the mountains, the Shenquan Sect must be very poor, right?"
"Poor?" Lou Qingshan was surprised, and then he reacted. He flashed a strange look, hesitated for a while, and nodded, "They are indeed poor, very poor, they have gone crazy with poverty."
Yang Fan smiled.
A tacit understanding has been reached between the two.
Yang Fan asked again about the Zijin Mine, then clasped his fists and said, "Brother Lou, I still have things to deal with, so I'll take my leave. If we have the chance to meet again in the future, I will have a drink with Brother Lou."
"It is Lou's blessing to meet Brother Yang. There is a long way to go. Brother Yang, be careful and move forward cautiously." Lou Qingshan stood up, cupped his hands, and nodded specifically.
Yang Fan nodded.
Before leaving, he touched Cao Kaijin's body, but didn't get anything valuable, so he quickly disappeared into the darkness.
"Are you going to the Zijin Mine?" Lou Qingshan looked at the direction where Yang Fan disappeared and couldn't help but ponder, "Young man is shameless, but he acted decisively and seized the opportunity to kill Cao Kaijin. Judging from his weapon, it was a heavy sword, and his strength I'm afraid it's not weak. I was more concerned about the city and asked about the enemies of the prince's palace, implying that I would spread the news that the prince's palace was digging the purple gold mine and spread it to the ears of Shen Fist Sect, so that I could use the power of Shen Fist Sect to deal with the prince's palace. His father is really a hunter? Why don’t I believe it! If you are not a descendant of our family or a genius of the sect, it may be difficult to cultivate such an outstanding genius."
He looked at Cao Kaijin's body and left.
This is not a place to stay for long.
Yang Fan walked forward in the night, heading towards the location of the Zijin Mine.
When he found out about where hunters were captured, he knew he had to go there. Fortunately, he got the general situation there from Lou Qingshan.
There are warriors guarding it.
Quite a few.
However, except for Cao Kaijin, the strongest ones are only at the sixth level of martial arts, and there are only two of them.
Even if you can't deal with it with your own means, it shouldn't be difficult to escape.
As they climbed over the mountains and ridges, a fire appeared in front of them.
