palm river mountain

Chapter 35
As soon as Duan Yi's words fell, a heavy hammer fell from the sky, and a person jumped down from the top of the big green stone.

With a sledgehammer in each hand, he rushed towards Duan Yi with the momentum to smash Duan Yi into the ground.

Duan Yi's eyes moved, as fast as lightning, and disappeared in place in an instant.

The person holding the heavy hammer didn't stop and hit the big bluestone directly.

The purple-golden hammer smashed the stone almost instantly.

Duan Yi clicked his tongue a few times, "Changsun Ling, do you always hit rocks like this when you want to die?"

When the elder Sun Ling heard this, he became even more furious. He pulled out the copper hammer from the bluestone, swung it around, and threw it at Duan Yi again.

This time Duan Yi didn't make a move, she stood quietly, just when the copper hammer hit Duan Yi's face, a long sword came out obliquely, holding the copper hammer.

Changsun Ling took a closer look, and put the copper hammer away. He glanced at Duan Yi vigilantly, and said in surprise, "Qiao He, if Aunt knows that you are not dead, she must be very happy."

As he spoke, his face changed again in a blink of an eye. He raised his finger and pointed at Duan Yi's nose and cursed, "You little lady, you must have known Qiao He's identity for deliberately looking at me at that banquet. She is How can you make her a servant girl to humiliate her, the daughter of the governor of Xiangyang County!"

Before Duan Yi could speak, Zhiqiao on the side slapped Changsun Ling's hand away.

"The governor of Xiangzhou is no longer surnamed Qiao. If the eldest grandson Xiaolang dares to point at our girl again, don't blame me for being ruthless." Zhiqiao said, striding toward the pavilion in the mountain.

Changsun Ling's body shook, he clenched his hands tightly like a deflated ball, and suddenly fell silent.

Duan Yi sighed, and chased towards Zhiqiao, "This is not a place to talk, follow me."

Changsun Ling was not a procrastinator, so he raised his hammer and followed.

The graves were all landscaped, and Duan Yi of Qingyun Mountain had no reason to let them go.

Near the big blue stone, there is a newly built octagonal pavilion.There was an ancient apricot tree growing in front of the pavilion, it was quite strong, it took three people to embrace it, covering most of the pavilion.

Duan Yi found a clean stone bench and sat down.

Zhiqiao held the sword and leaned against a big pillar, "My life was picked up by my girl. The Qiao family is the one who bears the crime, and I am still a lady. The future is the past, my little one." Don't mention it again, brother."

Zhilu on the side covered his mouth in surprise.

It was the first time for her to hear Zhiqiao talk so much, and it was the first time she heard her mention her life experience.

She had heard about the Qiao family in Xiangzhou!
This Qiao family is a wealthy family in the east of Shannan.

The Qiao family is heavy on martial arts, and many famous generals are famous.Originally, the Jiedu Envoy of Shannan Dongdao was Qiao Yuanshan, Qiao He's biological grandfather.

His Majesty intends to cut down the vassal, Qiao Yuanshan asked himself to tell his old man to be a virtuous person, so the capital sent the emperor's confidant Zhu or to take over the position of Jiedu Envoy of Shannan Dongdao.In order to show his kindness, Qiao Yuanshan's son was named the governor of Xiangzhou.

Chen Xianjun Ming, all of a sudden, Shannan Qiao's family became a good story.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. Before His Majesty wrote Qiao Yuanshan's glorious deeds in the merit book and dumped them on the faces of some old vassals who refused to give up their military power, a big event happened in Shannan Dongdao.

First, the new Jiedu envoy Zhu He suddenly died suddenly and was killed at home; then the capital received a bloody letter, and it was Zhu He who sued Qiao Yuanshan with blood and tears, saying that he was building plank roads and secretly hiding Chen Cang.

It is false to abdicate to let the virtuous, but it is true to retreat to advance!

He Zhu may just have the name of Jiedushi, the military power is still in the hands of Qiao Yuanshan, and Qiao Yuanshan is taking His Majesty's reward as military pay, and he intends to plot against him and wants to become a king himself!
There was an endless debate between the DPRK and China.

Qiao Yuanshan has always been loyal, and the Qiao family doesn't even have a single criminal. They are all loyal, so how could they do treasonous things?But Zhu's words are good when he is about to die, why should he take his life to accuse the Qiao family of treason?
On that day, the eunuch in Kyoto took the imperial decree and pushed open the door of Qiao's house at the risk of losing his head.

But as soon as he entered the door, he could smell a disgusting smell of blood. The Qiao family, which is good at martial arts, was slaughtered before being convicted, and the blood flowed like a river.

"I...you go back to Xiangzhou with me. If I have a bite to eat, I will definitely not starve you. On your birthday last month, Auntie even burned it for you..."

As the eldest Sun Ling said, a strong man who was five big and three thick, pulled his sleeves and began to cry.

"They're all dead. Grandparents, uncles, aunts, they're all dead. The corpses are piled up like a mountain. I'm digging inside, trying to find someone alive. No matter how hard I try, I can't find you!"

"You used to like to laugh very much, and you loved to eat sweets. When you smiled, you showed your missing teeth! My brothers all laughed at you. You didn't take martial arts seriously, and you were always lazy. You couldn't beat them no matter what...I helped you beat them." of!"

Changsun Ling said, turned around, plopped, and knelt down in front of Duan Yi, "Miss Duan San, I was blind and mistaken my benefactor for a bad person. The Qiao family only has a little blood like Xiaohe. My aunt Mother is her real aunt."

"Xiaohe is like my own sister. Thank you for taking her in. I want to take her back to Jingzhou now, and I hope you will make it happen. I have brought a lot of gold, silver and jewels with me this time as a betrothal gift. Yes, I will give it all to you as a thank you gift."

Duan Yi's eyelids twitched, she shook her head, and helped Changsun Ling up, "I've never held onto Zhiqiao, but can you protect Zhiqiao? I can."

Changsun Ling's body shook, and he sat down on the ground a little dejectedly, without speaking.

After the Qiao family was wiped out, the entire Shannan East Road had already changed.As the in-laws of the Qiao family, their eldest grandson's family is also living in dire straits, otherwise, he would not be allowed to be a general to join in the excitement of literati.

Whether Duan Xianggong will accept him, he doesn't know, but his eldest Sun Ling has never been smart in studying in his life.

He is a mud bodhisattva and cannot protect himself when crossing the river, so how can he protect Qiao He?

Hearing the noise, Duan Yi stood up, "You brothers and sisters, let's have a good talk. I'll go up the mountain first, otherwise, I will make people suspicious. Please remember, little general Changsun, don't talk nonsense and cause trouble. Make trouble."

As long as Changsun Ling doesn't shout, no one will know Zhiqiao's identity.

Of course he was just talking nonsense, Duan Yi is not afraid, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, seeing people bullying come to the house, why should she be afraid?

Showing weakness is just waiting for the opportunity to kill him with one blow.

As Duan Yi said, she flicked her sleeves, and together with Zhilu, she returned to the long bluestone stairs.

Before he had walked a few steps, he saw several young gentlemen dressed in fine clothes and turned back. The one in the lead was wearing a blue Confucian uniform and a jade crown. Move, I have a soft sedan here, I can carry you up the mountain."

Duan Yi looked at the beads of sweat on his forehead and trembling thighs, and laughed, "I think you need more."

As she spoke, she quickened her pace and walked up the mountain quickly.

The group of young gentlemen took a look and hurriedly followed, but no matter how they walked, Duan Yi always went up five steps faster than them, and almost lost her temper, "Duan Duan Duan Duan Duan San lady... wait... Wait, wait, Xiaosheng!"

……

After Duan Yi led those people away, the pavilion became quiet all of a sudden.

Changsun Ling stood up from the ground and patted his buttocks. He looked at Zhiqiao's hands, which were covered with thick calluses. The little girl who didn't like to practice before had now become a heroine who practiced hard day and night. up.

He pursed his lips, "What happened back then? How did you come to Jiannan Road?"

Zhiqiao looked into the distance, "Because the Gu family in Jiannan and the Qiao family in Shannan are exactly the same."
