Mountains and seas can be flat

"Even if what you said is true. Well, I believe you for the time being. Look at—" Solan glanced at Fang Zheng, then quickly looked away, "Weak Water Abyss also happened many years ago. I don’t want to pursue the bones in the wall. But what happened to Xiang Liu can’t be forgotten! The five thousand captains died so unjustly, the armored army was filled with people with different intentions, and the attack just now—” Solan Invite your confidantes to come forward and arrest the fat, white sheriff, "Don't blame me. I don't have time to find out slowly. This guy has been poisoned, and he doesn't have much time." Solan looked anxiously at Fang again. sign.

"I am loyal to the commander and the monarch..." Shou Ma hurriedly argued, but was interrupted directly.Fang Zheng watched coldly, thinking that it would be useless to argue.In order to get rid of the crime, explain clearly the source of the dead body in the high wall.Shouma confessed many secrets of the former monarch Taikang, which also proved that he was indeed the former monarch's confidant and capable minister.Although there are still many courtiers like this, after Zhongkang killed his elder brother, he didn't pursue them one by one, but after all, they are the elders of the previous dynasty, the emperor and the courtiers.Solan also had less scruples about adopting more brutal and extreme torture methods against him.

In the past, the Youbi tribe and Zujiang used bone needles to pierce the acupoints on the head to force people to tell the truth.Fang Zheng also learned a little bit.He wanted to know what methods the armored army would use?

"Commander, if you ask me anything, I'll just say it. What are you going to do?" Shou Ma was sweating profusely and said in panic, "Don't..."

A copper chain was put around his neck, and the samurai on both sides tightened it and loosened it. His face was swollen and purple, and he was coughing and wheezing in pain.

"Why did the five captains leave the city? Where did these attackers come from? Don't push it to Yu Yi." A warrior at Suo Lan's side listened to the report and then retreated, "Just now my people have killed those people. I searched all the dead bodies. Yu Yi's spies would carve the mark of a ostrich on a hidden place on the body, but these people didn't. The place where I was stabbed just now has been found, and it's in the city. He I used to be a captain in the armored army. Because a group of warriors died a few days ago when I went out of the city, he became the captain of the hundred. Captain Siqian, install people, and then assassinate me. Tell me! Who is behind this! Is it Pangmeng?"

The head of Shouma village was silent for a moment, then coughed and said, "Forget it. Since you have investigated everything, kill me. Master Pengmeng will avenge me."

"Hmph! For a person like you, death is insignificant in the eyes of that old guy! Confused!" Solan scolded, "Abandoning the dark and turning to the bright, allegiance to me is allegiance to the lord. You don't understand who the lord is more willing to appoint, right? .”

Pang Meng is a real veteran of the three dynasties, while Suo Lan has been supported by Zhong Kang since he was a child. The lord is young and promising, but there are differences in closeness.The greater the talent and influence of Pengmeng, the more Zhongkang will promote Suo Lan to check and balance with him.Solan also understands this, and is coercing and luring Shouma to surrender.

However... Fang Zheng looked at the fifth line of hexagrams that appeared above Shouma's head. In the white mist, Shouma took two small stones, wrapped them with silk straw, and placed them in Yongjie City to worship the god built by the four witch spirits. under the temple.The appearance of the four witch spirits Fang Zheng had already heard from the old woman in black in Qinglongling that the red bird Atisha with the fish head and human body was in charge of life and order; Yue Lun'e, a long-riding beast with a leopard tail, is in charge of healing and inheritance; Mole, a fat snake with a white body and snake tail, is in charge of chaos and omens.The images of these four witch spirits were finalized by Taikang in the end. Fang Zheng now understands that it may have something to do with the monsters he encountered in the weak water with Zhihao in Shoutong Mountain.

In the white mist revealed by the fifth line, Fang Zheng saw that Shou Ma placed stones and straws under the black sculpture of Zhai Runiao, which is in charge of death.The white mist dissipated immediately.Fang Zheng thought to himself, it must be a curse to put it under the death sculpture.It's like the grass-throwing people of later generations.Who are the two that Suma hates?

Fang Zheng pondered for a moment, and roughly guessed Shouma's motives.

At this time, Shou Ma was showing a humble expression of sincerity and fear to Solan, saying: "I can't ask for it. I have always wanted to find an opportunity to serve the commander. But that Pang Meng has always wanted to get rid of you, alas, how dare I defy him Command—your lord has a large number, I will definitely pay my death in return from now on, I am so heartbroken..."

Solan nodded in satisfaction, "Just know the current affairs."

"Let's forget it." Fang Zheng lazily said to Shou Ma, "You hate Xia Zhongkang so much, and of course you also hate Pengmeng. In short, the people who killed your former lord Taikang, you wish they were all finished soon. So you To break the arm of the armored army, it is best to kill Solan, and then blame Fengmeng. Let them kill each other. You don't care if Xia Zhu is finished, you don't care if Xiangliu comes out, you just need to kill Xia Zhongkang to replace Taikang It's just revenge. Am I right?"

Shou Ma's expression was blank for a moment, and then he said humblely and anxiously: "What is the leader of the Chinese clan talking about..."

"Hmph, just now I was saying that these spies were sent by Yu Yi and Lian Zifeng to rob me, and then they said that they were ordered by Pang Meng. Commander Shouma, you must have fallen too fast." Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows and said to Suo Lan, "You too, so easy to believe? If I were you, I wouldn't dare to use him. If the whole thing happens, think about who will suffer the most and who will benefit the most. It’s who is instigating it. I’m not helping you and Xia Zhu—” Fang Zheng added, “I just don’t want to be killed in the middle of the night when I’m resting in this city today. After being poisoned, I still have more than ten days to live, but I don’t want to die a moment earlier.”

Solan trembled all over, and winked at the two samurai pulling the chain. They put the copper chain around Shouma's neck again, and pulled it to both sides, and he choked and whimpered again.Then the two warriors pricked bright golden copper needles on his fingernails and toenails, accompanied by his screams like killing a pig.Although people can't die after being pierced by that kind of needle, their hands will be useless from then on.

"Tell the truth!" Solan scolded.The two warriors let go, and Shouma knelt on the ground half dead, only breathing in.

Shou Ma seems to know that even if he survives in the future, he will be a useless person, so he simply doesn't want to live anymore.Hatred finally appeared in his eyes, and he cursed sharply: "Disgusting! It's so disgusting—Prince Taikang has indeed done something wrong—" Shoukang called back to the prince subconsciously at this time, and he called for more than 20 years, looking at the man Growing up as a child, even if he makes mistakes and has a bad temper, he is still the master he has loyal to for so many years, not to mention having encountered so many tragic past events. "—If the monarch made a mistake, he should advise him to correct it. Is it really a sin to death? It's not that Xia Zhongkang wanted to seize power. I shouldn't have put Xia Zhongkang in the bedroom. He is too ruthless, Suolan! He is more ruthless than Taikang A hundred times. He can kill his brother without blinking his eyes and face calmly, and he is still smiling at his brother in the last sentence. Later, the "I can't help it, I am also very sad" is fake Crying is all pretending! Solan, do you really understand what kind of person Xia Zhongkang is?!"

Fang Zheng suddenly said loudly: "Tongue!"

When Suo Lan was in a state of agitation, he woke up suddenly when he heard Fang Zheng's reminder, and saw Shou Ma opened his mouth, and a little blue light jumped out of his mouth.She hurriedly raised her head to dodge, narrowly avoiding it.The blue dot hit the blade of the warrior behind her with a bang, and broke through the middle, splashing out dark green juice.

What fell on the muddy ground were two tiny snake corpses.Looking at Shouma again, his tongue has quickly turned into a dead green, and the color quickly spread from his mouth and nose to his whole body, he swallowed his breath almost instantly, and fell to the ground without moving.

Fang Zheng stared at the underground blue snake corpse, and suddenly felt that the scene seemed familiar.

At the last moment, Shouma spit out a poisonous snake from his tongue to kill Solan.This must be a move that kills one thousand enemies and damages seven hundred by burning jade and stone together.Usually, it should be tied to his mouth with a specially isolated soft sac (although Fang Zheng doesn’t know what it’s called in this era).

While Fang Zheng was thinking, the last line of white mist rose from Shou Ma's body.In the mist, there was a woman in white clothes that Fang Zheng didn't know, her face was wrapped in white gauze, her figure was slender, and only a pair of dark pupils were exposed.She held a small turquoise pot in her hand wrapped in white gauze, and Shou Ma knelt in front of her and reached out to take it, only to hear the female voice say indifferently: "If you want revenge, you must have determination... I will wait for your news. "

The images of white mist given by Yao Ci are all important issues that Fang Zheng needs to solve in stages.The first hexagram finally solved the poison for him.The most important line of the second hexagram, if it matches what he urgently needs to solve at present.Contacting the little green snake that popped up suddenly, Fang Zheng thought to himself, so it turns out that the identity of the woman in white is about to be revealed, then, taking advantage of this opportunity, he can...

Fang Zheng said leisurely, "The Snake Witch of Badian has the technique of 'Er Snake'. I also encountered it in the past, and put a small snake on the ear. After a person dies, the small snake can pounce on the enemy."

Fang Zheng was persuasive, and seeing Suolan's face change, he asked Fang Zheng, "Badian? But Shouma is from Xiazhu, and besides, Badian has already—"

"It's almost drowned by me. It's impossible for Shouma to be from Badian. So what?" Fang Zheng satisfied to point the gears in Suolan's mind to match the truth he judged step by step, "Shouma has endured for many years, I want to avenge Prince Taikang, cut Xia Zhongkang's arm, and start with you. Just at this time, there is another person who also wants to do something to you, and the two hit it off. That person taught him the art of the snake of Badian Snake Witch. Think about it , what is left of Badian, and what kind of relationship does it have with you?"

Whoever traveled thousands of miles north to marry Xia Zhu with the hatred of destroying the country, and who became the reason for Xia Zhu to send troops to Qinglongling.

"Shuiyanshi...? Princess?" Solan said the title with difficulty, "She wants to kill me? Why! Is she trying to seize the power of the lord—" Solan was in a state of confusion, occupying her deepest thoughts at the moment The most important thing is: will that woman be disadvantageous to the lord if she is by Xia Zhongkang's side?This is what she fears and despairs the most.

Fang Zheng knew that Suo Lan's focus was not on how to make the princess angry.In her subconscious mind, she and Xia Zhongkang are already a body of honor, disgrace, and life and death. Whenever someone is unfavorable to her, it is not because of any personal grievances against her, but the purpose is to be unfavorable to Xia Zhongkang.And this is her biggest weakness and weakness.For a moment, she was caught in agitation, and her full attention was diverted.All of a sudden, Fang Zheng jumped up vigorously, without any signs of being hit by the poison that weakened his hands and feet.

The neutralization of the two poisons has relieved the weakness of his hands and feet.Fang Zheng recovered [-]% of his strength.Seeing the opportunity for Solan to lose his attention and guard, he instantly used the Thousand Hands Kungfu and the Golden Bell Shield, and instantly bounced back the blades stabbed at him from behind by the surrounding confidant warriors.Fang Zheng grabbed Solan's neck at a speed that ordinary people couldn't see clearly, strangled her tightly, dragged her into his arms, and roared to the surroundings: "Don't move! Otherwise, I will kill her!"

The anti-shock force of Fang Zheng's golden bell cover, in addition to swinging away a circle of Xia Zhu warrior's attacks, also knocked down the fragmented swords and daggers on Suo Lan's body that he wanted to resist.Fang Zheng's thousand hands were too fast, and he had already pulled out the golden jade-colored round blade on her back and laid it across her neck. The sharpness of the blown hair and broken strands almost touched her neck, and it flowed down. Fine bloodshot.

"You! What—when—your poison—that poison—" Solan coughed tremblingly.

Fang Zheng didn't answer, he looked around vigilantly, his recovered five senses could easily judge, surrounded by almost a thousand armored warriors.Fang Zheng can't go head-to-head.He took Solan as a hostage, and ordered tyrannically: "Stand back! Get out of the way! Prepare the horses! Do as I order!" Fang Zheng's hand that strangled Solan turned back and folded her hand with the severed little finger , "If I can break one of her fingers, I can break a few more. Anyway, people can't die! Do everything for me!"

Warrior Xia Zhu didn't dare to disobey Fang Zheng's order, so he hurried to prepare.Solan said angrily: "Don't listen to him! He won't kill me! Anyway, I can't die, what's so special about a few fingers, you all take him down for me—"

"I counted and saved your two lives. That dagger, that snake. So I will not hesitate to take your life away." Fang Zhengbai spat out the blood in his mouth, and the poison flakes in his nails were shining brightly Come out and touch her eyebrows, "It's easy to kill people. It's okay to die together. You are a smart man, and it will be much better if we are all alive than if we are all dead."

Xia Zhu warriors brought horses, and many warriors still placed their swords a few inches around Fang Zheng's body, but they were afraid to cut them down.Fang Zheng saw that all the warriors in Huan Si were angry and aggrieved, and suddenly he thought about it, and sneered: "Who do you think I am? I tied up your commander, just like her, I want to take people back to my own land Is it? She doesn’t know how to grow vegetables, and she wasted food when she was locked up in Qinglongling!”

All the warriors, including Solan, were stunned. If it wasn't for such a crisis scene and opposing positions, they couldn't help laughing.

Fang Zheng continued to sternly said: "I tell you, if there is anything we Fang Zheng must do in this world, it is that I want people to live a peaceful life. I want people to be able to eat as long as they work hard. I want them to live in peace every day without fear of natural disasters and beasts. This is what I want to do. I don’t care who becomes the king and how he becomes the king. But who If you want to stop me from realizing this ideal, he is my enemy, and sooner or later I will deal with him!"

The expressions of the surrounding warriors became brilliant. They had never heard such a speech, but it wasn't that they didn't understand it, it was just that it was too rare.Solan stopped struggling and looked thoughtful. They didn't know what Fang Zheng's intention was when he said this, but inexplicably, this sounded so pleasing to the ear that people couldn't help agreeing, and wanted to hear him say more. sentence.

Seeing that the anger of the surrounding crowd had eased a little, Fang Zheng continued: "Now I tell you what to do. That is to go and chop off the remaining eight heads of Xiang Liu. All of you have to go. Xiang Liu is still spitting worms there , the number of people dying in the downstream is increasing every day. When people die, there will be no one to plant food. Without food, there will be no production capacity, and there will be no basis for survival and development. That is what I care most about. Tell you, what is weak water, what is Monsters, crying is useless, and worshiping witch spirits is useless. What is useful? You save one more person, reproduce one more person, there will be none in ten people, one hundred people, and none in a thousand people, so wait until 1 Individuals, 10 people, out of 100 million people, there will always be people who can defeat them. One person can't beat them, ten people can't beat a hundred people, 1 people can always beat them, even if people can't beat them, 100 million people can't beat them. Among individuals, there is always someone who can figure out a way, create tools, research technology, and drive them away!"

Many people were stunned into aphasia for a moment, and the swords in their hands fell unconsciously, listening to every sonorous and powerful word of Fang Zheng in a daze.

Fang Zheng strikes while the iron is hot: "Understood? Dead people can't solve the problem, witch spirits can't solve the problem, so Taikang's method won't work; cattle and sheep can't solve the problem, if the people don't think and won't resist, no one will go How to fight against these monsters, no one dares to possess those powers. You will never be able to live better, so Zhongkang's method will not work. Both of your Xiazhu monarchs are worthless. Only me! I don't care Believe it or not, you come with me now, and I will take you, Commander Suolan, to Banyue Mountain over there. When it is spread to future generations, it will be your armored army that got rid of Xiangliu, and everyone will have a share, no loss at all. In another 2000 or 5000 years, those legends will never fade!"
