[Comprehensive] Happy to be a father

The dust was flying, and the sound of horseshoes sweeping the ground could be heard faintly from a further distance, and a dozen men with long knives at their waists rode their horses approaching like thunder.It was noon, and because of the clouds, the sun's light was a little thin. The leader pulled up the reins, and amidst a long neighing sound, he stabilized the steed with its front hooves raised, and put his right hand on his eyes, looking far away. Overlook.

A winding mountain road is hidden among the forests of the peaks.

"Is it here?" He said to himself, as if asking and confirming.

A follower approached from behind on horseback. It was a young man in black attire who also looked at the mountain in front of him. He replied: "It should be here. From Xitang County, go east to Yongzhou On the road, going west is the direction we came from before. It is said that the Xueling Thirteen Riders live close to the mountains and occupy the only main road leading to the outside of the pass. During these years, they often plundered passing caravans, and even massacred a caravan. The history of the whole team is really notorious."

"But that's the past," the leader said slowly, "They really shouldn't have robbed the government."

The young man agreed: "Indeed, even the officials dispatched by the imperial court dare to snatch it, it is really too daring!"

The leader heard the words and turned his head to look at him.

Although in their capacity, they really should have said such things, but after nearly two years after the incident, and after they took over the task of leaving the customs, this case was pushed to the head of the six doors. On the other hand, if they are ordered to complete it "on the way", it is inevitable that they will become "unreasonable and not strong".

"However, it's strange," the leader narrowed his eyes slightly, and thought, "According to what the magistrate of Xitang County said, the official surnamed Zhuang who went to his post did not suffer any damage. The underlings arrived at the destination safely all the way, but, apart from the memorial from Xitang County, there was no letter from the person who experienced the danger..."

But this question didn't last too long in his mind. After all, he was just a small civil servant who might not be able to enter the center of power in his life. It was not worth him to grasp this point and pick out the "bones".

"Let's go up," he collected his thoughts, and said with a sneer: "Although he is notorious among merchants and common people, in the final analysis, he is just the lowest third-rate warrior in the world, that is, the boss of the 13 people." It’s still a good sword technique, with such a meager reputation, it’s not worth our thinking about it.”

"Yes." The crowd behind agreed generously.

The mountain was not high, and the forest was sparsely populated. It didn't take long for the group to find the place where the bandits lived.To their surprise, what they thought was an easy-to-catch action had to be temporarily stopped before meeting each other—there were some missing talents among this group of gangsters, and they found a cliff on the mountainside. During the period, a relatively tall wooden gatehouse was built. Outside the gate was a sharp fence, above which was an archery tower and aisle.

A faded flag slanted nondescriptly in the upper right, waving in the wind.

The leader frowned.

"There's no one up there." A subordinate said beside him, "It's too quiet."

It was strangely quiet.It's easy to get tired at noon, but there shouldn't be even a single vigilante left. They are all doing bloody business, so it shouldn't be so loose.

The leader's expression became more dignified. He rubbed his right hand quietly on the handle of the knife at his waist, turned his head and said, "Gao Shanqing, go and check it out."

This is the person with the most superb light kung fu in the group he brought, with good skills and a bright mind.

A tall, thin, middle-aged man stood up, clasped his fists in salute, and leaped lightly between the rocks like an ape.

Not long after, the gate of the cottage creaked, and it was slowly opened from the inside. The arrester named "Gao Shanqing" stood in the middle of the gate. He whistled and blew three long and two short tunes. With a wave of his hand, he took the lead in galloping forward.

"What's going on?" the leader asked in a deep voice.

"No one," Gao Shanqing said with some horror: "There is no one, my lord, this is an empty village."

"What did you find?" The leader noticed his abnormality, got off his horse, and asked.

"It's not an organized evacuation," Gao Shanqing led the way for everyone: "There is no trace of fighting. Judging from the thickness of the dust, it should be that no one has taken care of it a long time ago."

He pushed open a wooden door of a room on the left, waved away the thick cobwebs, and stepped on the fallen leaves that fell in from the open window, which seemed to be soaked by rain, and the leaves were covered with mottled He looked at the black spot, pointed to the cloth jacket on the table and said: "The patch of this dress has obviously been mended, and the only thing left is the final knotting. Things that can be done easily like this, but they are put on hold. it's here……"

"The water for a boiler in the kitchen has been prepared, and the firewood has been put in. The only thing that needs to be done is to add a fire, but it has been stranded until now," came out from the door, and moved from the inner house to the lobby on the other side , Gao Shan Qingsu said: "There is also a table full of dishes..."

Some black objects dried up on the original plate, and a huge fly slowly flew out of the large yellow-white soup pot in the middle.

"It means that they have been away for at least three months," Gao Shanqing said, "but the most important thing is not this."

The leader sat on the chair at the top of the lobby, put his right hand on the armrest, looked around, and said in a somewhat cold voice: "You mean, they left too abruptly, if they want to fight against the enemy, don't As for those old and weak women and children who are also fighting together, if they move independently, at least there should be traces of hastily cleaned up. Unless..."

"Unless we suddenly encountered a terrifying and powerful enemy," Gao Shanqing said, "Even if we just had a celebration party, we still can't give these 13 people the slightest bit of confidence and run away. That's right, they are them."

The leader was still a little hesitant. Such a reason was already the most convincing reason for them, but he still felt that something was wrong.

He glanced at his eyes again, and suddenly realized... yes!Yes!Since it was an escape, the more hasty the more flustered it would be, but there was one point on the table, which was not in line with common sense for disorderly gangsters.

The dinner plates are neatly arranged, the wine jars are neatly arranged, and even every chair is placed upright. In a daze, he seems to be able to see that the people in the whole room are also in the same order. Turning her face away, she looked at him neatly.

A horrific chill rose from his spine, and he subconsciously used force to snap off the armrest of the big lacquered chair, and when he looked over, he discovered that the crack was actually in the This has happened before... Maybe someone, sitting on this chair, encountered the situation that appeared in his imagination, and made the same behavior as him.

He immediately stood up, shook off the wrinkled cloak, and said coldly: "Let's go!"

Even though some people couldn't understand why their superior suddenly gave such an order, they still faithfully carried out the order.A group of people took their horses and left the uninhabited cottage like a whirlwind.

Among them, Gao Shanqing probably sensed the emotions of the leader somewhat vaguely. He sat on his horse and turned his head to look at the gate of the village that was getting farther and farther away. It seemed to be relieved.

"My lord, where are we going next?" Gao Shanqing asked.

"Let's go to the next county to fix it first," the leader said, "There is still a long way to go, so don't be in a hurry."

……

The sun gradually went west, and the sun, which had never been too hot, painted a bright red sunset at the end, casting a hazy yellow light on the sky and everything.Gu Xichao hurried back from the only school in the north of the county seat, and many townspeople who were closing stalls he met along the way also greeted him one after another.

"The young master is back!"

"It's been a hard day studying!"

"Would you like a candied haws?"

Gu Xichao also replied with a smile.This is Aunt He, who makes bamboo strips. She lives at the bottom of the alley, and she hates Li Youlang, who lives next to her. She once went to court for the ownership of a copper coin; , the only son in the family is his classmate in the school, because he is too gluttonous, the old and the young in the family are all fat; the one who is curled up over there is the lame Zhang, and the three generations of ancestors are beggars who are full and hungry. What kind of mysterious figure with an unpredictable origin...

Because he has read all the documents, Xiao Xichao, who knows a lot about it, couldn't help going to the test a few times earlier, and his age and his identity are not people. A vigilant mentality... more is actually a spontaneous love and pity.

After going back and forth like this, it is the current scene.

"Drive!" There was a voice of shouting, everyone on the street ran away one after another, Gu Xichao also hurried to the side, and then, a row of fast horses passed by him rapidly, and the clothes of the people on the horses, And the long knives hanging from their waists, both showed the special identities and origins of these people.Xiao Xi looked up and noticed that the direction they were heading in was exactly where the government office was.

Ignoring the greetings from others, he began to run back at his fastest speed.

"My lords, it's been hard work coming from afar," Liu Wu greeted him from the yamen hall. He was still dressed in the soap suit and hemp shoes when Su Ye first met him, but he was gone from the stiffness and slowness he had when talking that night. Facing the people who showed their badges, it was like a very ordinary government official in a small place facing a headhunter coming from the headquarters, with a hint of flattery in his politeness, he cupped his hands again and again and said: "I haven't greeted you far away, It's also my fault. I don't know if your lord has something to tell us to do?"

"That's why we didn't notify in advance," the young man behind the leader galloped forward and said condescendingly, holding a whip in his hand, "Because there was a lot of delay in the middle, so I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up with the nearest one this time." The inn, I can only come to bother you."

"Where is it, where is it!" Liu Wu hurriedly said: "My lords, please wait a while, I will definitely prepare everything for you."

Although all the movements ahead could not affect the inner house, Su Ye knew about the arrival of these unexpected visitors immediately, or in other words, he had already received their invitations when they were still in Xitang County. Information, including their experience of "walking" around the Xueling Thirteen Riding Village afterwards.

Of course, there is no "Thirteen Horsemen in Xueling" now, and there are only thirteen people from the Red Chamber who have gathered for a while.

red building.

After Liu Wu made a declaration about ambition, he solemnly and solemnly begged Su Ye to give this future intelligence and killer organization a name, and since he had already promised this, Su Ye also spent a little money. At the end of the day, he sighed softly and said, "Let's call it 'Red Mansion'."

In this era, no one can understand the deeper meaning hidden behind this name, and naturally Liu Wu can't either.Seeing the confusion flashing across his face, Su Ye smiled faintly: "A dream of the Red Mansion, a dream of the Red Mansion."

His voice was also like the jagged waves penetrating from the boundless dark sea, Su Ye said softly: "Isn't the world you live in just a vast and prosperous dream?"

Liu Wu lowered his head, his eyes showed puzzlement and thought.

How can you wake up if you are already asleep in a dream?

But even if they can't understand it for the time being, the power of the Red Chamber still spreads around Gannan County, and the "Thirteen Riders" can only be regarded as a small lump in their development process.Because of the small number of people at the beginning, or the lack of people who knew martial arts, Liu Wu chose to infiltrate into this group of bandits bit by bit, just as the leader of the six doors imagined, After he had planted "thorns" on everyone, he forced the boss of the 13 people to the point where he could not escape at the last step...

Unlike ordinary people who have been unable to return to their original state for a long time, "thorns" are wonderful existences that can be passed on to others by people who understand inner strength. And such terrible things, even if they are densely woven into a network, all their sources are also hidden. It was held in Su Ye's hand.

But he is still reading.Read books on martial arts, read works of unique ideas in this world, and read the information stored in them by this world.

It is like understanding the laws through the physics of the technological world.

And now a red figure standing beside him is holding a sword manual of "Wind and Rain Sword". The secrets of the middle and upper reaches.

The "thorns" can make him easily stir up storms and waves in this world, but he came here to find something more precious and invisible.

But even so, he still had to start from the very basics.

Although he has high aspirations, he knows how to start with a single step.
