The Legend of Swing Sword and Execution of Demons

Chapter 618

The long night is lonely, and there is one person sitting and sleeping in the house.

The person who came to chat with him drank in a muffled voice.

The drinker was silent.

The two seemed to be angry, but they also seemed to be enjoying this silent company.

I don't know how long it took, just when Fei Piao just finished drinking a jar of wine, Jiang Yichen said, "When did Piaoying join the cabinet?"

Fei Piao, who was in another jar of wine in Kaifeng, squinted at Jiang Yichen, and said curiously: "Huh? Why are you curious about this? Could it be that you are not interested in me, but in that Miss Si'er who called you 'Little Yichen'?"

Jiang Yichen rolled his eyes back, and said angrily, "Can we still chat?"

Fei Piao happily said: "Okay, okay, gentleman, you are really blind to this matter... Pooh, oh, you really asked the right person."

Having said that, Fei Piao did not rush to speak, but continued to open the wine seal slowly.

Jiang Yichen didn't urge him either. Many people chattered non-stop when they were drinking, and Fei Piao was no exception. He had to pour out his words after holding back a jar of wine.

Sure enough, after taking another three sips of wine, he told Jiang Yichen what he wanted to know and what he didn't want to know like pouring beans into a bamboo tube.

It turns out that long before Piaoying became Si'er's exclusive "follower", Fei Piao, Mu Shang, and Xiao Yan'er followed Si'er in action.

About three years ago, when Ting Yu Pavilion was growing, the three of Fei Piao and Si Er went to the west of Zhongzhou to visit the Kyushu, Four Seas and Two Alliances to make friends with gangs, and met Piao Piao in the mountains and forests. film.

Both sides were extremely wary at first.

Fei Piao and the others mistakenly believe that Piao Ying is a master with unknown background and evil intentions.

Piao Ying probably regarded them as invaders who wanted to interfere with their normal life.

After several gentle trials, Si'er found that Piao's image looked like a wild beast, and the murderous intent exuding from his body was purely for self-protection, while some ordinary behaviors were mostly foolish, so he tried to communicate with it.

Maybe it was "the hero is sad about the beauty", or maybe it was "the wolf is willing to wear the body", Si'er didn't show too close, just showed a little kindness, and Piaoying completely bowed down under Si'er's pomegranate skirt up.

Although they have never fought against each other before, the four of Fei Piao have good eyesight. It is very risky to accept such an unknown strong man.

They tried to explore Piaoying's origin, but Piaoying had an extremely strong resistance to it.

However, apart from keeping silent about the past and not being able to get rid of it no matter what, Piao Ying is defenseless and obedient to Si'er.

There was some pity in the hearts of the four of them, and they slowly accepted the existence of Piaoying.

There are two reasons why he was named Piaoying.

First, after seeing Piaoying's skills, Si'er felt that Piaoying was not weaker than Luo Piaoling in the past in terms of force alone, and insisted on choosing a similar name to form a "piao" generation with Luo Piaoling.

Second, it was because Fei Piao was leading the way at that time, and everyone was running around behind, and Piao Ying, even with Si'er on her back, could follow Fei Piao without missing a step, like a shadow. It is logical to be called "Piaoying".

And after learning about the relationship between Piaoying and Qingtianzhong before Pinghai returned, Feipiao said bluntly that if Jiang Yichen had a deeper interest, he might learn the details from Yuluobu.

Jiang Yichen laughed it off.

Even though the friendship with Piaoying is still shallow, it seems that he will not be an enemy at present, and it would be too impolite to delve into the past of others with a disagreement.

However, since it was about Guan Yu Luobu, it was worth his attention.

He knew that the Yuluo tribe didn't want to see the current court, and even did many unscrupulous actions, but they seldom directly conflicted with the gangs of the Kyushu, Four Seas and Two Alliances.

According to what Fei Piao said, the roles played by the Qingtian people are really intriguing...

Another jar of wine was drunk, but the story in Fei Piao's stomach was not finished.

Jiang Yichen is no longer just a listener, but a fan.

The two chatted nonchalantly, and even talked about Wang Zhizhi, one of the [-] villains.

Jiang Yichen has not forgotten that at that time, he and Liandie went to steal Wang Zhizhi's poison pill "Life Extinguisher". Liandie wanted to be the queen, but he turned his back and fell into Wang Zhizhi's hands.

If Poison Fairy was not an old acquaintance of Ting Yuge, then the other party probably saw that Lian Die was just wiping away the remaining consciousness, so she was moved with compassion and showed mercy.

To Jiang Yichen's surprise, Fei Piao actually gave a definite answer.

In fact, although Wang Zhizhi hated men all over the world, she didn't necessarily kill all women.

After Luo Piaoling learned that "Life Extermination" appeared in Jiang Yichen's hands and that Liandie missed the action that night, he made a special trip to Longyuan Gorge before going to Kunlun.

One is to apologize to Wang Zhizhi, the other is to thank Liandie, and the third is to make a deal.

At first Wang Zhizhi wanted to kill Luo Piaoling, but when faced with a sick man with no strength to restrain him, she really dismissed it.

Furthermore, Luo Piaoling went alone, which was considered extremely sincere.

Of course, the most important thing to make the ruthless Wang Zhizhi treat a man uncharacteristically is Luo Piaoling's plan.

——"Don't you Wang Zhizhi hate men, then I will help you kill more men, and I will trap a bunch of men in one place so that it is rare to be free."

Hearing this, Wang Zhizhi was a little tempted.

After Luo Piaoling took the Ten Day Broken Heart Pill in person, Wang Zhizhi contributed all the poisons he refined in his spare time.

She made it clear that if she didn't hear anything about Luo Piaoling's promise within a year, she would come out to listen to Yuge in person!
Jiang Yichen couldn't believe that Fei Piao knew so many details, and told himself everything.

For a while, Jiang Yichen was worried that he might not be able to see the sunrise tomorrow.

After realizing that he had become a member of Ting Yu Pavilion, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The two unknowingly talked about ugly time.

The two used the sky as their quilt and the roof tiles as their seats.

Fei Piao fell asleep while drunk.

Jiang Yichen closed his eyes tiredly.

Before going to sleep, Fei Piao said without beginning or end: "In a few days, it will be the Ghost Festival."

Jiang Yichen responded with a low "Yes".

……

……

It has been five days since the purgatory secret cave collapsed.

The aftermath of the Pinghai Rebellion is still fermenting, and the entire Zhongzhou Wulin is shrouded in an increasingly chilling atmosphere.

Even so, it is difficult for ordinary people to feel the slightest tension originating from the rivers and lakes in Gusu City, which covers an area of ​​nearly one million mu.

The streets are still full of traffic and people, those who should solicit business are still shouting enthusiastically, those who should bargain are still preoccupied, those who want to please a girl are still generous, and those who want to be appreciated by their beloved are still smiling.

Inside and outside the shops are still full of customers, in full swing, restaurants, teahouses, gambling houses, and willow alleys are even more lively, singing and dancing, even in the martial arts arena, many people are learning martial arts and boasting to each other.

The picture scroll of the entire Gusu City is so unique, as if it is a pure land and a paradise in this world.

Is it true that the people here are living too luxuriously and dreamily?

Arrived in Gusu last night, early in the morning with Master and Sister Sushou wandered around half of Gusu’s radish, strolling along the water bank, breathing to the fullest, belonging to this majestic city alone, pursuing freedom and self-discipline, and showing strong self-confidence from inside to outside air.

That's right, Luobo didn't underestimate Gusu City just because of its colorful and eccentric appearance.

He is not surprised that the scene in front of him will also appear in Youjing thousands of miles away, but the hidden details under the flashy appearance are quite different.

No matter Gusu or Youjing, because of the unique geographical location that radiates all directions, or because of the prophecies and myths passed down from generation to generation, the two places have experienced countless wars for thousands of years, and they have accumulated rich historical and cultural heritage over time. In Zhongzhou's two thousand years, dynasties have been changing constantly. Even if the two places are not the capital of a dynasty, they often occupy a place in the economic and political center of a country.

But in the past few decades, Youjing, which was originally the heart and soul of the Zhu family dynasty, has been intensified due to the insatiable greed of all parties, and the various powers of the court have been fragmented. It may be possible to maintain superficial harmony and basic operations in daily life. If one party lags behind, I am afraid that it will cause a chain reaction of mutual restraint or prevarication, and they will all fall into a deadlocked situation.

In contrast, Gusu City is more like the eye of a storm in the center of a deep storm. No matter how fierce the surrounding storm is, it can calmly integrate itself, and the soldiers will block the water and cover it with earth.

It stands to reason that Gusu, where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, should be in the former situation, and Youjing, where the center of imperial power is located, should be the latter, but the reality is exactly the opposite.

As far as Gusu is concerned, it should be a great contribution to the local government, but for the current court, it is undoubtedly a great irony.

Of course, if the barbarian turmoil of 20 years ago is repeated, the difficulty of attacking the city of Youjing is indeed different from that of attacking the city of Gusu.

"I hope I'm worrying unnecessarily..."

Luo Bo secretly thought, the eyes that usually look dull, at this moment, the vicissitudes that the old man often has after reading the helplessness of the world can be vaguely seen.

Luobo stopped in his tracks, squinted his eyes slightly, and turned his gaze to the seemingly invisible coastal defense at the far end of the sea, his thoughts rolling and agitated with the waves.

Since Gu Xinhun tried to find out the exact identity of Pao Shanglang that day, the three of them discussed several times about the issues related to Tingyu Pavilion and Hongyijiao, but they always left it at that due to the lack of key clues, and it was difficult to draw any definite conclusions .

When the forces of all parties did not know who was cruel to the Red Clothes Sect, they clearly had a correct answer, but they could not deduce the cause and effect of the matter, which not only made people feel uncomfortable, but also felt very frustrated.

Carrot, who had been depressed for many days, seemed to have suddenly opened up, and pieces of useful and useless information emerged in his mind:
——There has always been a saying in the rivers and lakes that the Red Clothes Cult may not be just a pirate, and the relationship with Dongpu is not necessarily just a plunder and trade relationship;

——Compared with other self-proclaimed righteous gangs, Tingyuge may not be so open and aboveboard in its actions, and even often arouses public anger, but those forces that have suffered a lot from targeting Tingyuge are not good;

——Tingyu Pavilion was born in Shifu. When General Shi was alive, even if he took off his armor and retreated to a corner, he never forgot his roots. He actively eliminated all kinds of hidden dangers on the border and spared no effort to attack the forces that secretly invaded Zhongzhou. Sitting upright will attract many heroes of the rivers and lakes to join in, and only then will they become big and attract the wind, leading to disasters;
——Assuming that the Red Clothes Sect is closely related to Dongpu, it is logical for Tingyuge, who has inherited the will of Shifu, to find trouble with the Red Clothes Sect;
——Ting Yuge must have wanted to use this move to create an uproar in the Jianghu, but at present, it seems that the wave is small and has a tendency to be suppressed;

——Another problem is that the Bisha Beach has been blocked by the imperial court. If evidence of the collusion between the Red Clothes Sect and Dongying is found, or the Red Clothes Sect is actually controlled by Dongying, can the imperial court really remain indifferent?Or is it that the Red Clothes Sect has secretly reached a tacit agreement with the forces behind Zhan Lihua, and the important information has been suppressed?

——What exactly is the Red Clothes Sect hiding in Pinghai County?

——Luo Piaoling of Listening to Yu Pavilion has never been aimless, there must be a reason for him to decide to take risks!

……

With the continuous trial and error connection of various clues, a vague event structure gradually takes shape.

Carrot's breathing began to be rapid, and he tried to substitute various assumptions in his mind, hoping to make each link stand scrutiny.

"Assuming that Japan wants to attack Zhongzhou again, it must not repeat the same mistakes and stretch the front line too long. It must win the next geographic point and fight a protracted war."

"Actually, there is a common problem along the coastline of Zhongzhou from east to south—easy to attack and difficult to defend."

"But Dongpu wants to find a foothold without abandoning its naval combat power, so it can only be a short general and act as a bridgehead."

"The southern coastline is too far away to be considered."

"Fujian is not good; Zhejiang is not suitable; Gusu is reluctant; if you choose all the land, you will only suffer from the enemy."

"However, Suzhou has a lot of coastal defenses, so if you want to fight from the sea, you have to spend a lot of time."

"Even if combined with a land attack, after entering the city, there is absolutely no energy left to control the entire city, let alone defend the city."

"Unless there is a continuous supply of resources."

"But after all, the two places face each other across the sea. No matter how powerful Dongying's sea power is, it will definitely not be able to maintain the delivery of materials under tense battles."

"The only solution is to use local materials."

"No, there is another solution!" A flash of inspiration flashed in Luobo's mind, "It's borrowing land to store food!"

Luobo breathed a long sigh of relief, and continued to think in his heart: At this point, assuming that the Red Clothes Sect belongs to Dongpu, the previous inference seems to be tenable.

"So, all the supplies that the Red Clothes Cult had hoarded for wartime in Pinghai County were burned overnight by Tingyu Pavilion?"

"It doesn't have to be Ting Yuge who burned it, or Hong Yi taught him how to burn it."

"Tingyu Pavilion only needs to find the right place and kill all the guards. The facts are all there and there will be no shortage of people to expose them."

"The matter of secretly hoarding supplies can be large or small, but if the amount is too large, the imperial court dares to turn a blind eye and just take death."

"The teacher in red had to grit his teeth and swallow it in order to calm things down."

The more Carrot thinks about it, the more excited he becomes. According to the current inference, it seems to be in line with the facts one by one.

For example, why is the killer Ye Xiao so tired?
——Because he killed people overnight.

Another example is why a bunch of people were killed on the giant ship in Pinghai Bay after the incident that day?
——Because the important supplies were destroyed, the red-clothed teacher was furious and furious!
After recovering for a while, Luobo suddenly found two eyes looking at him with great interest.

Only then did I realize that I had been standing in one place for a long time, how could I not provoke Master and Sister Sushou to stop and "watch".

Seeing that Luobo was embarrassed and shy, Su Shou smiled and asked, "Did Luobo think of something interesting?"

In order to give some encouragement to the disciples who lack self-confidence, Gu Xinshun also asked in cooperation: "Is there any special discovery?"

No matter how much he has weathered, Luo Bo still cannot deny that he has not lost his recognized youthful nature, he nodded and replied: "Master, Sister Sushou, I seem to want to understand the reason for Ting Yuge's actions."
