Ye Ye felt a buzzing in his head, and he and Lianhua ran towards Wangjiacun like crazy.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw that several houses in the village were on fire. The bodies of the villagers who were guarding the village were lying on the ground. The old patriarch fell in a pool of blood. The two of them jumped on him and even called several times, but they didn't wake up. They saw it. Deadly, Wang De fell beside the clan leader, with five blood marks on his body and no longer breathing.
Seeing this, Ye Ye and Lian Hua couldn't help but feel like they were being cut by a knife.
Going further inside, there were more and more corpses, but there was no one alive. The women and children hiding in the house were all spared. They were all poisoned, and there were five blood marks on everyone's body.
In the courtyard of Wang De's house, Xiaolong fell in the yard. Aunt Wang's body was lying not far away, with her head raised desperately and her hands reaching for Xiaolong. There were five bloody wounds on his back. It seemed that he was trying to save his son, but was killed on the way. The man was pushed down and stabbed to death, but the blood flowing from his body dyed the nearby ground red.
The quiet and peaceful village just now turned into a hell on earth in the blink of an eye. Neither Ye Ye nor Lianhua could accept this fact.
The two of them felt that their eyes were splitting. Thinking of how everyone had treated them in the past, they couldn't help but burst into tears. Ye Ye looked up to the sky and roared several times, fell to his knees and shouted, "Who is it? Who did this!" Lianhua Standing in a daze, with tears sliding down his cheeks, he murmured to himself: "Why is this? He was fine just now... Xiaolong is such a cute child, who can bear to do such a cruel thing? Aunt Wang and the others are Such good people are not close to me, but they treat us like family... They, why did they just leave like this?" Hatred, already deeply planted in Ye Ye's heart, suddenly became heavier at this moment. He stopped crying and said fiercely: "Anyone who kills my relatives and friends will be cut into pieces by me with a thousand knives!" The sound was like the screams of thousands of ghosts coming from the depths of hell. Even Lianhua couldn't help but feel like screaming after hearing this. His body trembled! At this time, the fire had begun to spread rapidly, and most of the village was burned. Ye Ye stood up and said: "The fire is so big, we don't have time to bury the villagers, so let the fire take everything away! This matter It must be related to those bandits, let's go after them now!" The two of them turned around and walked out. Lianhua's eyes were sharp and he immediately saw a few words written in blood on the earthen wall beside the door, so he pulled Ye Ye away.
Ye Ye took a closer look and saw the words written on the door panel: "Revenge!" There were two words written below: Li Xiao.
The two were stunned for a long time, and Lianhua asked in surprise: "This beast is not dead?" Ye Ye said harshly: "Just come to me for revenge. What crime do the villagers have? Li Xiao, you beast, if I don't I will kill you to avenge my fellow villagers, and I swear that I will not be a human being!" The two left Wangjia Village and when they arrived at the entrance of the village, the whole village was in flames.
The two of them looked in the direction of Wangjiacun, tears streaming down their faces, and they knelt down in unison, kowtowed in the direction of Wangjiacun, then got up and chased the bandits in the direction where they had fled.
The two followed the tracks left by the bandits and cavalry, slowly going farther and farther, and a few days later they arrived at Yuanzhou Prefecture.
Lianhua wondered: "How could this group of bandits be so bold and go straight into the Yuanzhou capital? Aren't they even afraid of the officers and soldiers? In other words, they are not bandits at all?" Ye Ye said: "Such a large group of people entered the city. , it’s impossible not to attract attention.
Let's ask around and we'll always find something. "
The two of them came to a tavern not far from the city gate. After a good meal, Ye Ye called the waiter over and asked: "Brother, waiter, has a cavalry of more than a hundred people passed through here in the past few days? The waiter thought for a long time and said: "I didn't see the cavalry team, but if there were about a hundred people, there was a team of soldiers going to Qingzhou passing by the day before yesterday."
Lian Hua was shocked when he heard this. Ye Ye hurriedly dismissed the waiter and asked, "What's wrong?" Lian Hua said, "That's right! Their mounts and weapons are all uniform, and the heights of the knights are almost the same. That speed of coming and going like the wind, that unruffled formation in the face of trouble, that unusual arrow technique... They are definitely not bandits, they must be soldiers who have been on the battlefield for a long time!" Ye Ye couldn't help but be stunned, and said after a while: "Li How can Xiao have the ability to mobilize the army to help him?" Lianhua said: "It's useless to think too much, then didn't they go to Qingzhou? Let's catch up, and we're not afraid of not being able to find out the whole story!" The two of them immediately left Yuanzhou and headed east Head straight to Gyeongju.
At noon, he suddenly met a group of cavalry on the road. The general leading the group couldn't help but stare when he saw Lianhua's unparalleled beauty. Ye Ye didn't want to cause more trouble, so he just gave him a fierce look, and then took Lianhua with him. Leave quickly.
Unexpectedly, the officer became lustful and asked his soldiers to surround Ye Ye. He approached on horseback, looked at Lianhua and said with a smile: "What a standard girl! What's your name and where are you from?" Ye Ye said angrily: "What does it have to do with you? Get out of my way!" The general smiled and said: "You have a bad temper?" Then he put away his smile and said: "You are acting suspiciously, you must be a spy sent by the enemy. ! Come on, behead him! Take that girl back to me, the general will interrogate you carefully!" Because of the incident in Wangjiacun, Ye Ye had no good impression of the soldiers at this time. Seeing that this officer dared to Killing a domineering man and woman in broad daylight, he couldn't help but push forward in anger. When he saw several cavalrymen charging towards them with swords drawn, he immediately stood in front of Lian Hua and greeted them with fists.
In the blink of an eye, these cavalrymen were thrown to the ground by him, and the horses screamed and ran away.
The other cavalrymen couldn't help but feel horrified when they saw that his kung fu was so strong, but for a moment they didn't dare to charge forward again.
The general shouted angrily: "You must have done it carefully! Otherwise, how could you be so capable?" He drew out his long sword and urged his horse to attack Ye Ye.
Seeing the bright light of the sword, Ye Ye couldn't help but think of the group of "bandits" who attacked Wangjiacun. All the anger he had accumulated over the past few days burst out. He gave a sharp shout and rushed towards the officer without any reason, holding the Cangyue Sword in both hands. They came out together and cut off the head, neck and front hooves of the war horse at the same time. The officer immediately fell forward. If he hadn't reacted quickly and rolled to the ground in time to relieve his force, he would have died.
The military official struggled to stand up, but the long knife had not left his hand. He was about to attack Ye Ye when he saw Ye Ye wave his hand, and a thunder snake spiraled down from Ye Ye's fingers and attached to Ye Ye's arm. Wandering endlessly, he was so frightened that his hands softened and the knife fell to the ground.
The cavalry looked at each other in shock, reined in their horses and retreated in unison.
At this moment, the cavalry rear group suddenly separated to the left and right, and a young man in brocade came slowly on horseback, followed closely by four horsemen. The horses were extremely strong, and the knights on the horses were also heroic.
This handsome young man in brocade clothes has a handsome face as fair as a woman's, but his brows are handsome and he has the temperament of a man.
When all the knights saw him, they immediately bowed their heads and saluted. The general hurriedly knelt on the ground, pointed at Ye Ye and said: "Commander, this person is from the imperial court..." Before he could finish speaking, the young master waved his hand coldly. He said coldly: "Shut up!" Then he smiled at Ye Ye, turned over and dismounted, cupped his hands and said: "Brother, I'm rude.
I wonder how this person provoked Xiongtai and forced him to take such a heavy hand? "He smiled while pointing to the corpse of the horse and several knights lying down.
Ye Ye is not afraid of rude and rude people, but he is afraid of people who are polite and considerate.
He put away his magic power, and the Thunder Snake immediately retracted it from his arm. He gave the young master a fist and asked, "Who is your Excellency?" The young master bowed slightly and said, "My Excellency, An Qingxu, these incompetent guys are here. Serve in the army.
I wonder how they provoked Xiongtai? Ye Ye couldn't help but be impressed by the other party's demeanor and said: "We are just travelers passing by. If this military commander hadn't coveted my wife's beauty and insisted that I was a craftsman, we wouldn't have done anything." "
An Qingxu's face darkened and he asked the general: "Sun Dake, is this really the case?" The general hurriedly said, "Commander, don't listen to his nonsense. He was obviously the one who made the move first..." Before he could say anything, After that, An Qingxu waved his hand and asked the rest of the people: "Do you all know the military laws of our army? Tell me, is what this brother said is true?" The knights looked at the general and bowed their heads in silence.
An Qingxu sneered and said to the general: "Everyone is silent, so it's you who lied!" After he finished speaking, he didn't allow the general to argue any more. He drew out the long sword from his waist and stabbed the general to death with one strike. , and then said sternly: "If anyone dares to act willfully and disrupt our military discipline in the future, he will be an example!" Ye Ye couldn't help but feel more admiration, cupped his hands and said: "The commander-in-chief's strictness in running the army really impresses Ye! An Qingxu gave a bitter smile and said, "It really makes my brother laugh to have such evil people under my command."
But I don’t know your brother’s surname? "Ye Ye hurriedly introduced Lianhua, and An Qingxujun bowed and saluted, praising: "Miss Lianhua has such an appearance, it can be said that she is ashamed of herself. She is indeed worthy of Brother Ye! "Lianhua smiled faintly, but it was very forced.
An Qingxu saw Ye Ye but didn't take it seriously. He ordered the knights to pack up the general's body and go back. He asked the four personal knights to follow behind. He walked slowly with Ye Ye and asked : "Two extraordinary people, I don't know where you want to go on this trip? An Mou has always admired people who have cultivated immortality and achieved Taoism. It would be a great honor if I could help you."
Ye Ye only felt that An Qingxu was a polite and polite gentleman and a trustworthy person, so he couldn't help but tell all the past events in Wangjia Village and said: "Now we are going to Qingzhou to track down the murderer. Folks, take revenge!" An Qingxu nodded, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Brother Ye, please forgive me for being blunt. There are tens of thousands of soldiers in Qingzhou. If they really colluded with that monster, Brother Ye will not be able to find out the whole story. Otherwise, he will be harmed first. Why not stay in my camp for a while and let me secretly send people to investigate the clues of that group of soldiers. What do you think?" Lianhua nodded when he heard this and said: "Commander An is right. It would be most convenient if Marshal An investigates the matter."
Ye Ye pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement. An Qingxu was overjoyed and immediately led the two of them eastward to his military camp a few miles away at the foot of the mountain.
Ye Ye saw the military camp for the first time. He saw that the camp stretched for several miles and was magnificent. The tents were arranged in an orderly manner and the soldiers were in neat formation when patrolling the camp. He couldn't help but sigh and secretly praised An Qingxu's army command skills.
An Qingxu personally took Ye Ye and others to the Chinese army's tent as if he were receiving distinguished guests, and ordered wine to be served to welcome the guests.
During the dinner, they talked with Ye Ye. Ye Ye found that he was proficient in astronomy and geography, knew almost everything, and showed his talent in conversation. He couldn't help but become more and more speculative as he talked. He told An Qingxu all his life experiences, and An Qingxu couldn't help bragging and sighing. .
Unconsciously, when he talked about the world's major events, An Qingxu suddenly sighed again and again and said: "Today's world is full of treacherous ministers and the people are in dire straits. How can it be the same as it was when the Tang Dynasty was prosperous? Every time I think of the suffering of the people, I really... Oh, what a pity. I'm just an ordinary person, but I don't have such powerful magic power to step into nothingness and save all people!" With Ye Ye's intelligence, he could naturally tell that there was something in his words.
He already admired An Qingxu as a person, but when he saw that he had a world-wide mind, but was quite similar to Lei Ao, he couldn't help but feel good about him, and blurted out: "Brother An, if you have any difficulty, you might as well speak up. If I can help, I will help you." You should do your best for the people of the world."
Hearing this, An Qingxu smiled lightly and said, "Brother Ye is too preoccupied. Come on, have a drink."
The more he acted like this, the more urgent Ye Ye wanted to help. He stood up and said solemnly: "Although Brother An and I have just met each other, we hit it off immediately. We already consider Brother An a friend. Doesn't Brother An treat Ye as a friend?" Friends?"
