The crazy swordsman Xiao Yiran died unexpectedly.
When the corpse fell off the cliff, it was already torn apart.
However, his wife barely managed to save a whole body, but she went to Jiuquan with the fetus in her womb.
That year, Qin Shan was fourteen years old, and Liu Han was ten years old.
They didn't know why so many people suddenly came to the door, and they had a few words with the master, so they had to fight. Later, in order to cover them, the mistress led away the pursuers, and this was the last time Qin Shan had with her.
Later, when he was being buried for his wife, he saw a sword inserted into her slightly bulging belly. It was inserted from the back, and he was caught off guard.
"why?!"
With red eyes, Liu Han lay on the ground and stretched out his hands to grab the blood-soaked soil, "Why did they kill the master, even the wife and the unborn child! Why!"
The blood was mixed with mud, dripping from his fingertips, just like his pale questioning at this time, in vain.
The group of people probably didn't think that the two little disciples who were not good enough would be of any use, so they didn't go back and forth to completely cut the weeds and eradicate the roots. This is probably the one thing they regret the most in the future.
Qin Shan stood at the bottom of the cliff, holding pieces of Xiao Yiran's corpse that he had picked up in his hands. He put the corpse into the dug tomb, and placed the wife and their unborn child next to the corpse. After doing this, he covered it with soil little by little, stepped on it, and erected a monument. Inscribe the tombstone with the only sword left.
For fear of being noticed by the enemy, Qin Shan didn't even dare to write a name. And after doing all this, he seemed to have lost all the strength in his body, and could only barely stand by holding on to his sword.
To Liu Han's questioning, he only said coldly, "There is no reason."
Liu Han raised his head and looked at his senior brother in confusion.
"If someone wants to kill you, kill you. There's no reason." Qin Shan held the sword, and there seemed to be blood in his eyes, "It's just weird, we're not strong enough."
…
"At that time, I understood what Senior Brother meant. If that day, Master was not outnumbered, if that day, Senior Brother and I already had the martial arts like today. It is not Master and Master who died, but the gang of wolves. "
Liu Han said: "So there is no reason in this world at all. All the reasons depend on how hard your fist is."
"Amitabha."
Wu Nu gasped for a breath, endured the pain of the wound, and said, "Master Liu is saying this now because he wants to ask the little monk if his fist is still hard?"
Liu Han looked up at him and smiled coldly, "Yeah, if the master still has the strength, he can escape. If he doesn't have the strength..."
"You will take this opportunity to kill me."
It has been another day and night since they fell into the bottom of the nameless hole. Both of them suffered a lot of injuries in the process of falling. Even with peerless martial arts, their bodies are not comparable to hard rocks, not to mention that both of them fell off guard and were unprepared. suffered minor internal injuries.
As for Liu Han, he never thought that the little monk would try his best not to pull his back. As for now, both sides are injured, either broken legs or broken ribs, unable to move. Thinking about it, his liver hurts with anger. What do you think this monk is drawing
"The little monk asks for nothing." As if he heard the question in his heart, he said without anger, "If you can make this world less strife and let the people suffer less, you will be worthy of the promise made before the Buddha. long-cherished wish.”
Liu Leng sneered: "You're a fake, but who knows what your purpose is, the treasure of the Xiao family, who doesn't salivate, I'm afraid it's you monk who is selfish..."
Wu Nu interrupted him lightly: "Master Xiao, don't be in a hurry."
Liu Han's face changed, his fingers clasped the rock tightly, letting the sharp stone edge scratch his skin. He looked without anger, like a trapped beast looking at the enemy, biting and saying, "What did you just say?"
Wu Wu looked at him, silently.
Back in the mountains, he had said the same thing twice. It's just that at that time, both Liu Han and Xiao Yingran thought that Wu Wu was there to persuade Xiao Yingran. And only Wu Wu himself knows who he is really talking to.
Deep in the crypt, the sound of gurgling water could be heard from somewhere.
I only heard Wu Wu speak slowly: "This matter of the donor, the senior brother still doesn't know about it."
"I really don't know." Qin Shan said, "After Master died, I entered the palace, and Liu Han entrusted it to Master's old friend to look after him." Qin Shan talked about the past, "When we meet again, I am the commander of Qin Weitang. He is the leader of the demon sect. I have been separated for so many years, and I have no idea what happened. Let alone this junior brother, I often can't see what His Majesty is thinking."
"Brother Shan went to the court because the emperor said he could help you to avenge you. But how did he know that the mad swordsman was murdered, and the two apprentices were lucky enough to survive alone? How did he find you so coincidentally? "Yan Xiaobei asked, "Does the dignified emperor pay attention to these affairs all day long? Or does he have a plan? Even if your master was hunted down by the people in the rivers and lakes, the emperor would have known it for a long time."
Qin Shan's expression changed, and he secretly clenched the thing in his hand. It was a seal, or—it could also be called a royal seal. The imperial seal of the emperor is a treasure handed down to the country. No one would have expected that Emperor Qi would hand over such an important thing to Qin Shan, and he would hand it over to Qin Shan through the hands of others. If something went wrong in the middle, no one could afford it.
"He nurtured me for ten years, helped me build Qin Weitang, and enabled me to take revenge. It's all a fact." Qin Shan's face changed several times and said, "I am willing to drive for him, not only for revenge, but also for Daqi." He said Here, there is a rare flash of shame on his face, "Perhaps it's a bit over the top to say that."
"I don't know how many people in the world can say this with a clear conscience, but Brother Shan, you are definitely one of them." Yan Xiaobei looked at him, "We don't know how many people have been bullied along the way. This is not a chaotic world, but it is even more absurd than a chaotic world. Everywhere in the wild dare to burn, kill, rob and do everything. Now that I think about it, if there is no Qin Weitang in the past ten years, I don’t know how the situation will worsen.”
Qingtian also nodded and said, "When I was still at home, there was a big gang in the village, and the government and yamen couldn't control it and let them fish and kill the common people. Later, Qin Weitang, who was still the master, avenged us, except for the wicked."
"The rivers and lakes are strong and the court is weak." Qin Shan sighed, "Perhaps the decline of Daqi has long been foreshadowed."
"Let's not mention this for now." Yan Xiaobei said, "Now the emperor sent you a token, what's going on? Brother Shan, you said just now that he wasn't crazy, so is it a lie that he couldn't go to court when he was seriously ill? How can it be controlled by the queen mother and the prince?"
Qin Shan said, "This may involve a secret." He had been holding the Royal Seal in his hand, and at this moment he only felt that he was as heavy as a thousand pieces of gold. He looked at the few people in the room, and after a long time, he made up his mind and said: "As you know, there are no children in the emperor's palace. "
Qingtian said: "Everyone knows that the emperor has no queen, otherwise how could it be a prince's turn to control the government."
"What if I say that your Majesty actually has an heir?"
"what?!"
"Why are you so surprised?" Wu Nu smiled, "Don't you think that there is really no second person in the world who knows about this?"
"I do not know what you're talking about."
Liu Han's face was ugly, "I grew up with my senior brother, and I have nothing to hide from him."
"Qin Shan is indeed an orphan taken in by Xiao Yiran since he was a child, yes, but you only joined the mad swordsman's door when you were seven years old and became his closed disciple." Wu Wu said slowly, no matter how big or small, it's like a treasure." In the next few years, until the disaster that year, you all lived together. But in the first seven years and the ten years after that, Qin Shan didn't know anything about you. How can you say that nothing happened? hide from him?"
The corner of Liu Han's mouth twitched with a smile, but the light in his eyes became colder and colder.
"Oh, then tell me, what am I hiding from my senior brother?"
Wu Fury didn't answer, and turned to other things, "Speaking of which, the donor has been entangled in the traitor's affairs before, and now I happen to be free, why don't you let the little monk come to clear your doubts?"
He didn't wait for Liu Han to react, and said, "Whether it's about Zangfeng or Xi Chenshui, it was someone who secretly tipped off the news, so Xiao Yi was prepared in advance. This person must be very familiar with Qin Shan's actions and understand him. The way of doing things, he can always contact Xiao Yi and inform him to deal with it. For example, Xiao Yingran has not solved the mystery of the secret book before, and Xiao Yi has not moved. Now Xiao Yingran suddenly realized that he solved the mystery, Xiao Yi The men and horses from Xiqiang immediately chased after them. Is there such a coincidence in the world?"
"What do you mean, I'm going to reveal the news to Xiao Yi behind my senior brother's back?" Liu Leng smiled, "What's the benefit of doing this? Why should Xiao Yi trust me as an outsider? Besides, if I really did it, I know Senior Brother has so many plans, why don't you keep reporting to Xiao Yi and slaughter you all. Why do you always come late and do some painless blows?"
"Don't be in a hurry, just listen to me slowly." Wu Nu said, "In the past few years, Xiao Yi has become the new head of the Xiao family as a branch. If there is anyone in this world who hates Xiao Yi the most, it is Qi Ruowang. , should be the original owner of the Xiao family - the main branch of the Xiao family. And if this person has to form an alliance with Xiao Yi, he definitely doesn't want Xiao Yi to live comfortably, and naturally he has to do some tricks when revealing the news. "
Liu Han stared at him without speaking.
"The alliance between them is like walking on thin ice, always guarding against each other, and always using each other. If the only thing that is like-minded is to get back the treasure of the Xiao family. But if Xiao Yi gets the treasure in advance, it will be the opposite for this person. It's not good. So tonight, it's not Xiao Yi's men who came to chase us, but a subordinate of the King of Xiqiang. This person made a deal with the King of Xiqiang."
With a pair of eyes without anger, he stared at Liu Han eagerly, "Perhaps he was promised a heavy reward, or he may have been lured with interest, he is the culprit who really made a deal with the King of the West Qiang and let the people of the West Qiang enter the customs. Qin Shan Going to assassinate the King of the Western Qiang before this trip, I am afraid that the news has been leaked in advance under the words of this person. Do you think so, Master Liu?"
Liu Han laughed, "You have sharp teeth, your ability to make up stories is really comparable to a storyteller. Unfortunately, Xiao Yiran, the main line of the Xiao family, was dead, and Xiao Yingran was a useless waste. Lonely ghost, a half-sized ghost, who do you think has the ability to coddle with Xi Qiang and make this shocking conspiracy?"
"The main branch of the Xiao family, of course, it's not just the two of them."
Wu Wu's light words, but like a heavy stone, hit Liu Han's heart.
"I remember correctly, you once said to Bai Mei Ke that your mother died in front of you when you were young, and the murderer was your father. If I remember correctly, the Xiao family became the head of the family after he killed his wife and went crazy. The eldest son disappeared together before the eyes of the world. Later, the body was exposed in the wilderness and almost turned into dead bones before being discovered."
"And that year, Emperor Qi had discovered the Xiao family's disobedience, and he was going to issue an edict to make the Xiao family go to Beijing as a pledge. Because of this incident, we could only let it go."
"Everyone in the world thinks that the eldest son of the Xiao family's patriarch has long since died in that barren mountain. Bai Mei Ke has only taken in an orphan who has no father and no mother, and was excluded from the family. But what if he hadn't died?"
"If Xiao Yingran's brother hadn't died, then that year, he was just seven years old. It was your age when you joined the mad swordsman's door."
Liu Han's Adam's apple slid, and his back felt cold, as if he had fallen into a cold cave. All the past events that I don't want to remember, all the nightmares that I thought I had forgotten, reappeared in front of my eyes. To his surprise, he was not panicked by being exposed, but he felt a sense of relief at last.
He took a deep breath and finally laughed heartily.
"Yes, my original name is Xiao Yinghan, the main line of the Xiao family, and the nephew of the mad swordsman. Back then, my uncle accepted me, and in order to save my life, even my senior brother didn't know my true identity. Bald donkey, you said so much, But you haven't said who you are."
Knowing so many secrets, Wu Nuo said that he was just an ordinary monk, Liu Han, no, Xiao Yinghan went to his parents' grave and killed him.
Wu Wu smiled, and in the dark crypt, only his voice could be heard hollowly.
"Like you, my mother was forced to death by my father to protect me."
Xiao Yinghan frowned.
"Now that I think about it, maybe it's a causal cycle. Back then, my father forced your parents to death, but within a few years, his own flesh and blood suffered the same experience."
"You..." Xiao Yinghan widened his eyes in surprise, "You are!"
[What if I say, Your Majesty has an heir?]
