As Zhao Min spoke into his ear, Song Qingshu finally understood what it meant to exhale like orchids. As her breath brushed against his skin, he felt as if his heartstrings were being plucked by someone.
As for the twelve palaces and one mansion that she mentioned, it was a special administrative unit in the Kingdom of Liao. Every emperor of the Kingdom of Liao would establish his own Orudo, which was the political, economic, and military organization that the emperor, his concubines, and the princes personally controlled.
There were government offices, officers, armies, farms, prefectures, counties, and people engaged in production and service in the palace. The income of the Horudo was the owner's private property. The people in the palace were "guards when they enter, and retainers when they leave."
"If there is a transfer, the young and strong join the army, and the old and weak stay in the palace." After the death of the emperor, the concubines and descendants inherited the throne.
There were a total of thirteen Horudos in Liao, including the Nine Emperors, the two empresses (Shulu Yue Liduo and Jingzong Empress Xiao Zhuo), the twelve Horudos of the emperor's younger brother (Xiaowen Emperor's younger brother Yelu Longqing), and the Prince Wenzhong's Mansion built by Prime Minister Han Derang.
Xiao Feng's father was the instructor of the Horudo Army, which showed his extraordinary martial arts and unique status.
Song Qingshu thought to himself. He remembered that in the original work, Xiao Yuanshan was the chief instructor of the Horudo Army. However, in this world, Liao was in decline, and the power of the Liao Empress had declined to the extreme. The Horudo Army existed only in name, so it was reasonable that Xiao Yuanshan became the chief instructor of the Horudo Army.
"Master, you also know what happened in the past?" Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Xiao Feng was surprised and happy. He hurriedly asked, "May I ask who the leader was?"
Fang Zheng shook his head. "The past is gone with the wind. Why does Almsgiver Xiao need to kill again?"
Xiao Feng hurriedly said, "I've been investigating who the leader was. Other than wanting to avenge my parents, it's also because the people who knew about it have died one after another recently. I think the leader killed to hide his identity."
"Nonsense!" Kong Zhi said angrily. "That leader is a man of virtue and prestige. How could he be the devil you speak of? It was you who killed Ma Dayuan, Elder Tan, Elder Tan, and Elder Xu. You even killed my teacher, Xuan Ku. You are the most heinous devil. Don't try to shift the blame for your crimes onto others. "
"From what Master Kong Zhi said, it seems like you also know the leader?" Azhu suddenly said.
Kong Zhi held his breath and snorted, "So what if we know each other? Little girl, you don't have to try to trick me. I won't tell you."
Azhu still wanted to say something, but the man in black next to Xiao Feng raised his hand to stop her. "Don't waste your energy. Of course, they won't say anything, because the leader is someone they will risk their lives to protect."
Xiao Feng's expression changed. "From Senior's tone, could it be that you also know who the leader is?"
"Of course I know." The man in black said proudly. His gaze slowly swept across the monks in the front row, making them feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Who is that person?" Xiao Feng, who had been tracking down the leader along the way, couldn't help but feel excited when the truth was about to be revealed.
The man in black shook his head. "It's not the time yet."
"What do you mean?" Xiao Feng was startled.
The man in black explained, "You and I are surrounded today. It can be said that the odds are against us. In addition, everyone here is from the Shaolin Temple. Even if the leader's identity is exposed, it won't help. Instead, it may harm the lives of these two girls."
Xiao Feng understood what he meant. The Shaolin Temple had always prided itself on being a righteous sect. Even if he and this Senior couldn't escape today, they probably wouldn't make things difficult for Azhu and Zi. However, if the two girls knew the identity of the leader, they might bring trouble to themselves.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind and he blurted out, "The leader is from the Shaolin Temple!"
As soon as this statement came out, the monks of the Shaolin Temple all changed their expressions. The man in black showed a look of admiration, but he quickly said, "If we are lucky enough to escape this time, it won't be too late to tell you then."
"Well, in order to know the result, I will save my life no matter what." Xiao Feng laughed loudly. Although he was seriously injured, at this time, there was a kind of heroic spirit at this time.
Although there were many people in the Shaolin Temple, Fang Zheng and Kong Wen were merciful, and the others lacked the fierce murderous spirit that Xiao Feng had honed on the battlefield, so their momentum was suppressed again. Xuan Cheng snorted heavily. "Your Excellency, you are too optimistic. There are so many masters here today, you can't escape death."
When he spoke, he used the secret method of the Buddhist Lion's Roar, which instantly cheered up his companions from their depressed mood.
"Noisy!" The man in black snorted coldly and suddenly moved. It could be said that he was like a rabbit leaping and a falcon descending. In an instant, he attacked in front of Xuan Cheng. Obviously, he wanted to take advantage of the time when Xuan Cheng had just used the Lion's Roar and had used up all his strength to injure him.
After all, except for a few people who knew the Sweeping Monk Nameless, most people in Jianghu recognized Xuan Cheng as the number one master in the Shaolin Temple. He was one of the Thirteen Divine Monks, the number one in the Shaolin Temple in the past two hundred years.
As long as he heavily injured him, not only could he get rid of a strong enemy, but he could also gain the upper hand by a show of strength.
Xuan Cheng was also shocked. Although his martial arts were extremely high, he was more inclined towards the academic side. In terms of adaptability, he couldn't compare to the man in black, who was an expert who had survived a bitter war. Therefore, he was found by the opponent to attack.
In a hurry, Xuan Cheng subconsciously waved his Buddhist staff and used his secret skill, the Exorcism Staff Technique. Unfortunately, the man in black had already closed in on him. The subtlety of the Exorcism Staff Technique was completely unable to be displayed. Before he could hit the opponent, the opponent had already pressed his palm against his chest.
The man in black's eyes were filled with joy. Just as he was about to use the power of his palm to take Xuan Cheng's life, he suddenly saw a golden light flash on Xuan Cheng's body. His palm power was like a clay ox entering the sea.
"Diamond Indestructible Body!" The man in black suddenly thought of something and his expression changed greatly.
At this time, Xuan Cheng had already reacted. He waved his palm and used the most profound Prajna Palm of the Shaolin Temple to counterattack. The man in black raised his palm to meet the attack. Seeing that the surrounding monks had already reacted, he hurriedly used the recoil to fly back to Xiao Feng's side.
At this time, Song Qingshu had almost confirmed the identity of the man in black. With such high martial arts, who else could it be but Xiao Yuanshan who was always helping Xiao Feng?
"Xiao Yuanshan is indeed worthy of being the existence who killed the experts of the Central Plains in the bloody battle at Yanmen Pass. This experience of facing an enemy is really admirable. The timing he chose was also perfect. If Xuan Cheng didn't have the Diamond Indestructible Body Technique to protect him, I'm afraid he would have already died on the spot."
"Thirteen Ultimate Divine Monks, you really live up to your reputation." The man in black chuckled. Suddenly, his expression changed. With a cracking sound, the black cloth on his face suddenly shattered. It turned out that he had just suffered the recoil of the Diamond Indestructible Body. In addition, Xuan Cheng's Prajna Palm counterattack had turned his shame into anger. In the end, he still didn't have enough time to completely negate the power of his opponent's palm, causing his mask to shatter.
In an instant, cries of surprise rose in the surroundings. The group of people looked at him in shock. They saw that he had square eyes, a wide nose, a curly beard, and a very formidable appearance. He was about sixty years old. Although his beard and hair were slightly white, he had a valiant look on his face. But this was not what shocked the crowd the most. What shocked them the most was that apart from his age, this person in front of them looked exactly the same as Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng was surprised and happy at the same time. He rushed forward and knelt on the ground. With a trembling voice, he said, "You … you are my father …"
The man laughed loudly and said, "Good child, good child. I am your father. The two of us father and son have the same appearance. There is no need to remember. Everyone knows that I am your father. " He stretched out his hand and tore open the lapel on his chest, revealing a wolf's head with a tattoo. With his left hand, he pulled Xiao Feng up.
Xiao Feng tore open the lapel of his robe, revealing the green wolf head on his chest, baring its fangs. The two of them walked side by side. Suddenly, they looked up to the sky and howled at the same time. Their voices were like the roar of a fierce wind. It spread far and wide, shaking the entire valley. When everyone heard it, they all felt a chill. Although there were only two of them, their power was as great as a magnificent army with thousands of men and horses.
Song Qingshu was full of admiration, "You really are heroic."
Zhao Min, who was at the side, covered her ears and said unhappily, "So noisy."
Xiao Feng took out an oilcloth bag from his chest and opened it. He took out a large piece of white cloth that was sewn together. He unfolded it. It was the rubbing of the inscriptions on the stone wall that Monk Zhi Guang gave him. On it were hollow Khitan characters.
The curly bearded old man pointed at the last few characters and said with a smile, "Xiao Yuanshan's last brush, Xiao Yuanshan's last brush!" Ha-ha, child, that day I was sad and jumped off the cliff to commit suicide. Who knew that I was not fated to die. I fell on the branch of a big tree at the bottom of the valley and unexpectedly did not die. Now that I have lost my will to die, I want to take revenge. That day outside Yanmen Pass, the heroes of the Central Plains killed your mother who did not know martial arts without asking the reason. Child, do you think this revenge should be taken? "
Xiao Feng said, "The hatred of my parents is absolutely irreconcilable. How can I not take revenge?"
Xiao Yuanshan said, "The people who killed your mother that day, most of them have already been killed by me.
Monk Zhi Guang and that guy who called himself 'Zhao Qiansun' have already been killed by me. The previous leader of the Beggar Clan, Wang Jiantong, died of an illness. Only that the leader of the 'Great Evil Man' is still alive and well. Child, what do you think we should do with him? "
Xiao Feng anxiously asked, "Who is this person?"
Xiao Yuanshan let out a long whistle and shouted, "Who is this person?" His eyes were like lightning, sweeping across the faces of the monks.
When the monks made eye contact with him, even though they knew that they had the upper hand, they still felt a sense of danger in their bones. Even though most of these people had nothing to do with what happened outside Yanmen Pass, but when they saw the expression of the Xiao father and son, no one dared to move or make a sound. They were afraid that they would attract trouble and be dragged down by the two of them before they died.
Song Qingshu secretly sighed, "In this way, Azhu and Ah Zi are in danger."
Previously, Xiao Yuanshan did not say who the leader was because he was afraid that the other party would be driven to desperation and harm the lives of the two girls at the same time. But now that he was fighting with Xuan Cheng and broke his mask, revealing his original appearance, his identity could no longer be hidden. In addition, he was reminded of the sad incident, so how could he care so much?
But even if he did not care, Song Qingshu could not ignore it. Even though he did not have any feelings for Ah Zi, she was still his woman, how could he let others deal with her? Especially Azhu, he was indebted to her, so he could not let her encounter any danger.
Xiao Yuanshan's gaze fell on Xuan Ci and said coldly, "Abbot Xuan Ci's Dharma is indeed profound, to be able to keep his composure even now."
The few who knew the inside story all had their expressions change. The other Shaolin disciples who did not know the inside story all subconsciously looked towards Xuan Ci.
Xiao Feng was shocked and angry, "Abbot Xuan Ci, the leader is actually you!" One must know that he had interacted with Xuan Ci before, and even fought with him twice. He was very impressed with his martial arts and character. Who would have thought that he was actually the evil person that he had been searching for so long!
Abbot Xuan Ci put his palms together, "Good, good! Since there is karma, there will be karma. Even though I was deceived by scoundrels in the Yanmen Pass incident, I still cannot absolve myself from the blame for the tragic death of your parents and clansmen. "

He had just pulled out his wisdom tooth today and lost a lot of blood. In addition, he could only drink some porridge for the whole day, so it did not take long for him to feel dizzy from hunger.
