That day,
That night,
Jianghu finally remembered,
The fear of being once dominated by the imperial court,
And the humiliation of being bound by the law.
In the dark night, the knights stepped on the puddles and galloped into the unknown darkness.
The sound of breathing in the wilderness grew heavier and heavier, more and more concentrated. A low sob suddenly rang out in the darkness.
But it was immediately covered by someone's mouth.
He stumbled and stumbled as he ran on the plains. The bright moon hung high in the sky.
All of a sudden, the fleeing crowd stopped in their tracks.
They stared blankly at the nightmarish figure in front of them.
Under the moonlight, several knights in flying suits were standing there quietly.
They were like ghosts and ghosts in hell.
A trace of despair flashed across their faces. A young woman fell to the ground and cried in a low voice.
The man in the lead pulled out the long saber at his waist and laughed in despair.
"Zhao family dog! I, Wang Batian, will not let you go even if I die! "
Under the moon, the light of the saber was like frost.
It reflected the cold light like blood.
Blood splattered into the sky, like a long red ribbon hanging down from the moonlight.
"Run! Run! "The men protected the woman behind them and shouted at a young man.
Wang Batian's body fell heavily in front of the knights. One of his head was in the hand of one of them. His two eyes stared at the young man.
The young man turned around and left with tears in his eyes.
Behind him, the angry roars of the men and the wails of death could be heard.
There was only one voice that kept ringing in his ears.
"Run! Run! Go find Gang Leader Qiao and ask him to uphold justice for us!!! "
The young man sped up. The branches in front of him hit his face and left a few bloody marks.
But he only knew how to run. He exerted all the power in his body and used all his strength. There was nothing in his mind. He only knew how to run forward.
He left the wind, the moon, and the killing behind him.
"Kill all the hawks and dogs of the imperial court! I'll fight you Eagle Claws to the death! "The men roared.
The men roared, but they still could not suppress the cold voices of the knights.
"The Taihang Wang Family Village has robbed passers-by and caused trouble. In the past thirty years, they have committed dozens of murders. Their crimes are unforgivable!"
"Family Head Wang Jindao has already been executed last month. The Emperor has ordered the Imperial Guards to capture the fugitive! Imperial Governor's orders, Dark Dragon Guard, kill! "
"Kill!" The knights shouted in unison.
White mist rose from the armor on his body. Under the charge of the mount, he looked like a ghost.
A man wielding a large saber leaped with all his might, and the saber light swept across the knight's body.
"Molten fire as armor, lightning as blade. Dragon Roar Tiger Roar, Black Tortoise True Technique! "
The knight's red cloak fluttered in the wind, and the thick mist around him suddenly turned fiery red.
Rising and leaping like flames!
The man blocked the long saber with all his might, but he was always stuck three inches in front of the knight, unable to get any closer.
Facing the knight's cold gaze,
He closed his eyes miserably.
Another head soared into the sky as the blazing light rolled past.
In the dark night, the blood light soared to the sky.
In the apricot forest, Qiao Feng's body was stabbed several times. He shouted heroically, "Who killed Vice Gang Leader Ma? Who stole my folding fan and tried to frame me? I will get to the bottom of this."
He then turned his head to Kang Min, "Madame Ma, with my skills, if I wanted to take something from your mansion, I wouldn't return empty-handed, and I wouldn't lose anything. Not to mention that there are only two or three women in your mansion, even if I wanted to take something from the inner court of the imperial palace, the commander's tent, or among thousands of soldiers and horses, it's not impossible for me to take something. "
"Qiao Feng, you Khitan dog thief, you're still talking nonsense, slandering Madame Ma's clean reputation. Vice Gang Leader Ma is upright and outspoken, and it was you who killed him. Brothers of the Beggar Sect, how can you let this evil thief go?"
The atmosphere in the surroundings instantly froze.
Everyone present was at a loss. The Beggar Sect disciples instinctively wanted to obey Qiao Feng, but because of his identity, they did not dare to express their support. At this time, a figure in a sorry state rushed out from the side.
They saw a travel-worn, wounded young man at Qiao Feng's feet, crying loudly,
"Qiao Feng, you have to uphold justice for our Taihang Wang Village!"
"I ask Qiao Feng to investigate the blood feud of our entire clan! Investigate! "He pounded his head like garlic, crying incessantly.
Qiao Feng awkwardly said, "Little brother, it's not that I want to make things difficult for you, but I really can't bear the title of Beggar Sect Leader. If you don't mind, I'm just one person, but I also want to seek justice for you."
The young man cried loudly, "The Jianghu is in danger, how can we care about trivial matters? Qiao Feng, the Northern Wulin is finished! Finished! "
Hearing this, the heroes present were all shocked. Dan Zheng stepped forward and hurriedly asked.
"Is it the Khitan invasion?"
Qiao Feng's face showed that he was in a dilemma, and his steps suddenly slowed down. He thought to himself, "The heroes of the Wulin fight to protect the country, but if I go up now, what position will I be in?"
The young man's next words shocked everyone.
"It's the imperial court, the imperial court has attacked the Wulin! The Red Knights, those Red Knights, they are the imperial court's dogs, under the imperial edict of the emperor to attack us. Our entire Wang Village has been killed, and the next target is the Beggar Sect. "
"Don't talk nonsense!" Elder Xu pointed at the young man's nose and said angrily, "Everyone knows that the Beggar Sect is loyal to the Song Dynasty. Many Beggar Sect heroes shed their blood and shed their lives in the war against the Liao Dynasty. How can you talk nonsense here?"
"The Minister of Revenue, Cai Jing, was killed by someone with the Dragon-Subduing Palm at home! The Emperor is furious, and has established the Imperial Guard, the Suwu Hall, to control the Jianghu forces. The Suwu Hall's Governor, Chen Ang, is cruel, merciless, and cold-blooded. He actually issued 36 Suwu Decrees, using harsh laws to control the Northern Wulin, and if anyone disobeyed, the whole clan would be slaughtered. "
The young man took out a bloody letter and read it in a choked voice.
He knelt on the ground and cried, "This is the blood and tears of the Northern Wulin! Less than three days after the order was issued, the traitor Chen personally led his men to besiege and kill the heroes of the Eighteen Stockaded Villages of Taihang. Even the Cult Master of the Ming Cult, Fang La, was hunted down by him for more than three hundred li. Our Northern Wulin is in a storm of blood, and our families have been destroyed. Please uphold justice, Gang Leader Qiao! "
"Why didn't the local Beggar Sect disciples report such a serious matter?" Elder Xu scolded angrily, "That's a load of nonsense. Qiao Feng, is this someone you found to deceive people?"
"I'm telling the truth! Beggar Sect disciples, according to what I've seen along the way, all the beggars have been forcibly imprisoned by the government. They say that they don't want to farm, and they've been forced to farm. "The young man cried.
"Nonsense, nonsense!" Elder Xu was so angry that his beard fluttered. He pointed a trembling finger at the man. "How can the Great Song have fertile land to farm?"
"It's Western Xia. The Western Xia army suffered a great defeat and suffered heavy losses. They've already lost Hetao and a large area of the northwest. The King of Western Xia is so scared that he ceded his land and begged for peace!"
The aristocratic martial artists present had been suspicious at first, but they couldn't help but laugh when they heard this, as if they had heard the funniest joke in the world. Elder Xu was also so angry that he laughed. "You madman, madman! Men, drag this man away! You've really lost your mind! "
The young man struggled and shouted, "I'm not crazy, not crazy! Gang Leader Qiao, you have to uphold justice for me! The imperial court has really acted against the martial world. The Dragon Stallion Army of the Suppression Martial Hall is already coming for the Beggar Sect. Gang Leader Qiao, you have to be careful! Be careful … "
Elder Xu laughed. "This man is really crazy. The imperial court has been cowardly for so long, and now they're saying that they've defeated Western Xia? What nonsense!" The crowd in the apricot forest couldn't stop laughing. Everyone knew that the Song army was weak. The Liao people and the Xia people were all acting like tyrants in the imperial court.
Although the Great Song Dynasty was prosperous and healthy, its military was lax and its military strength was weak. None of the people present looked up to the cowardly Imperial Guards. They even looked down on the border soldiers. When they heard this, they found it funny. It sounded like a fantasy.
Amidst the laughter, the sound of hooves could be heard. There were horses galloping from the north, followed by a few sharp whistles. Some of the beggars present whistled in response. The horses galloped faster and faster, gradually getting closer.
Elder Xu murmured, "What kind of emergency is this?"
They saw a beggar disciple lying on a horse. When the horse galloped to the front of the crowd, it let out a long neigh and fell to the ground dead. Qiao Feng hurried forward to help the beggar disciple up. He saw that his face was pale and his breathing was weak.
Elder Xu pointed at Qiao Feng and said sternly, "Qiao Feng, this is an important matter for the Beggar Clan, you can't interfere!"
Qiao Feng let out a long sigh and handed the disciple over to Bai Shijing, who stepped forward to support him. Unexpectedly, the disciple clutched tightly onto the corner of Qiao Feng's clothes, his lips trembling as if he wanted to say something. Seeing this, Elder Wu coldly snorted, "What is the meaning of this, Elder Xu? Chief Qiao is our Chief, why can't you listen to him? "
The disciple was speechless and pointed behind him with a trembling finger.
He didn't know when, but a group of riders in red had appeared on the path he came from. They wore red flying fish robes and were lined up in two neat rows.
A slender figure stood at the top of the hill with his back facing the crowd. The hem of his green robe fluttered in the breeze. His unbound hair fluttered in the wind. He had a majestic aura.
When the disciple saw the figure, he gasped for breath and his face turned red. He was so excited that he fainted.
Qiao Feng carefully handed the disciple over to Bai Shijing and cupped his fists at the figure. His actions were dignified and free, giving the Beggar Clan disciples a sense of confidence. He asked in a deep voice, "Who are you? Why have you come to our Beggar Clan's gathering place?"
That person flicked his sleeves and turned around. When the crowd saw his face clearly, they discovered that he was just a young man with a crown on his head. However, his aura was actually not inferior to Qiao Feng's. Everyone present felt a slight pressure pressing down on them. Wang Yuyan furrowed her brows and said, "This person's aura is similar to cousin's, but when compared to cousin's, it feels … different."
She originally wanted to say 'neither fish nor fowl' or 'monkey crown', but she felt that it would belittle Murong Fu too much, so she quickly changed it.
Duan Yu, who was beside her, noticed her strange behavior and asked, "Fairy sister, what's wrong?"
Wang Yuyan looked at Duan Yu. Although Duan Yu looked like a fool now, his bearing was engraved in his bones. "This person is more like him, but he's a little too infatuated."
Duan Yu was born in a noble family. His behavior and upbringing were exactly what Murong Fu wanted to emulate. However, one was raised with bearing, while the other was learned. Compared to Duan Yu, Murong Fu's bearing was clumsy.
Chen Ang was no longer the ordinary student he used to be. He led a huge financial group in the endless world and had honed his bearing, so he looked more like Duan Yu.
Duan Yu looked back and found him familiar as well. He smiled and said, "This brother has an extraordinary bearing. It seems like you're someone worth befriending!"
In the apricot forest, the crowd stared at Chen Ang with burning eyes.
The atmosphere was solemn and heavy.
Chen Ang smiled and said, "I'm Chen Ang, commander-in-chief of the Imperial Army from the Great Song Suwu Academy. Greetings, Gang Leader Qiao!"
PS: This was supposed to be a speech at the end of the Star Wars volume, but I didn't write it well and was too embarrassed to say anything, so I might as well put up a preview of the new volume.
Writing the plot as a preview was also a great experience for me.
This plot doesn't affect the main plot of the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, so it doesn't matter if you don't read it. Anyway, when I write Apricot Forest, I'll definitely use the main character's perspective.
There are two more chapters today, so in order to prevent the starting point from going crazy, I'll try to finish before nightfall.
