The worst is the next cousin

For several days, Ye Jintian was recuperating from his injuries. His injuries looked serious, but they were not.The chest injury looked hideous but not fatal, and the leg injury was probably caused by Jin Su breaking his leg to prevent him from escaping.Jin Su obviously wanted to take advantage of Ye Jintian's lack of resistance to properly arrange the way out. The best way was to lie that he had killed Ye Jintian, so that Ye Bajiang would not be able to bother Ye Jintian at any time.

But he didn't expect that he would be the one who died.

"When are we going back?" Jin Chen peeled off an orange and stuffed it into Xu Qi's mouth. With Erlang's legs crossed, he couldn't sit upright. He seemed to have no bones in his body. Instead of leaning against the wall, he would lean against the chair pillar , or even people.

"Wait until the two of them recover from their injuries," Mao Xiaofei said.In the past few days, he had contact with the Jielin people in Yeyue City, and found that most of them were friendly, unlike the legends.When Mao Xiaofei went out, he always took Tang Miao with him as an interpreter, Tang Miao was also very surprised, "We didn't know much about Jie Lin before, basically we didn't know much."

"Many people don't even know that there is such a place in the north." Xu Qi agreed.

Mao Xiaofei nodded: "The fortune teller who asked us for help last time helped me a lot this time. She gave me a map of Jielin. But she also made me swear." Mao Xiaofei paused before saying : "I swear on my life that I will not dedicate this map, including the copied version, to the monarch."

"We don't know there is Jielin, but they know what's in the south?" Jin Chen's eyes widened, and he threw an orange slice into his mouth to suppress his shock.

"No, they don't know much about the south. For hundreds of years, the Zeling people have never thought of crossing the ice sheet. She said that she didn't want to fight. She called the war a witch's fire. She once had a daughter of two Two sons, two sons were killed in the battle with the Raksha clan, and the daughter, as a beauty dedicated to the Raksha clan by Jielin, has been away for 15 years and has not been heard from."

"Who are the Rakshas? They are very similar to the legendary Jielin people." Jin Chen said.

Mao Xiaofei leaned forward, "Give me an orange."

Jin Chen threw him an orange, Mao Xiaofei peeled it open, and took a deep breath of the clear smell of the orange peel. He felt his mind cleared up a lot. He had already gone to the teacher's house for two consecutive nights to stay after midnight. Get up and practice using the knife according to the knife manual given by Ye Jintian, and your body is always on the verge of fatigue.

"You should have a good sleep." Xu Qi said with concern.

Mao Xiaofei shook his hand, "After the departure, there is a lot of time to sleep in the car."

"Go on, go on, brother, what do you know? What else did that old woman say?" Jin Chen was extremely curious, staring at Mao Xiaofei with bright eyes and asked.

"In Yeyue City, she is the most respected fortune teller."

"Yes." Jin Chen doggedly said.

"The Raksha tribe used to be a tribe of Jielin, occupying a large area of ​​land in the north of Jielin, and they were brave and good at fighting. More than 50 years ago, a young leader named Danxi came out of this tribe. He was only 13 years old at that time. At that time, a fortune teller prophesied that he was the son of an evil dragon."

"This is too vague." Jin Chen said with a smile, obviously not convinced.

Mao Xiaofei's expression was very serious: "This Danxi is still alive, and the leader has been passed down to his sons. His eldest son is called Danyi, which means that he can fly for nine days with two wings on his back. Of course, this son has not grown wings. , This is just Danxi’s expectation for him. Danxi 30 years ago, when he was in his prime, at the deer feast of King Jielin that winter, he assassinated the king of Jielin, succeeded in one blow, cut off the head of King Jielin, and occupied Jielin The capital city lasted for more than two hundred days. Due to the resistance of the entire Jielin, no one wanted a tyrant to become the new ruler of Jielin, and the four sons of King Jielin were still there. The people in the capital agreed on secret signs and secretly The four sons who supported King Jielin entered the capital and stationed troops outside the city. They launched a counterattack in the late autumn of the second year. Danxi has no other hobbies and has the common fault of a hero."

"I know that." Jin Chen patted his leg, "Lust!"

"Well, a hero is saddened by a beauty, but what he faces is not a beauty, but the stunning beauty of the entire harem. Since becoming the lord of the country, Danxi is like a bully, ordering people to kill all the pretty women in Jielin. Send him into the palace to serve him, and even in some palaces, only women are allowed to wear gauze. During the two hundred days, the palace required a lot of milk every day, and the Raksha people had dark skin, and Danxi especially liked women's skin Bai, I heard that bathing with milk can make a woman's skin white. The palace alone supplies five tons of milk every day. The people in the capital and the suburbs are miserable. Apart from this, there are many more. Whatever you want a tyrant to do, he Do everything, go above and beyond." Mao Xiaofei drank his saliva before continuing, "There is a whole city, from the princes and nobles to the traffickers and pawns as internal support, the capital will be taken down sooner or later. But... ..." Thinking of what the fortune teller said, Mao Xiaofei couldn't help shivering.

"At that time, the capital of Jielin had 80 people in the city, and there were more than [-] people in the suburbs outside the city. All young and middle-aged people joined the army. They did not vote for the army of the princes, but for the imperial city guard formed by Danxi. Danxi Tie these soldiers to the city wall, and let the besiegers enter the city stepping on the corpses of their own brothers."

There was a long silence.

Mao Xiaofei continued: "It took five days and five nights of fighting to take this city. Danxi ordered people to massacre the city, even the elderly and children, and shot people's heads out of the city gate like stones with a throwing machine. After breaking the city , the entire capital city, there is not a single living person. The capital city has become an empty city. Up to now, the population of the capital city of Jielin is less than [-], which is about the same size as the border city of Yeyue City. Every year, officials want to move the capital. We must not forget the brutal and inhuman behavior of the Raksha people, insist on refusing to move the capital, and want the country to be prosperous and the people safe, but it is not easy."

After finishing speaking, Mao Xiaofei was so thirsty that he drank several sips of water before calming down.

"So, I don't think the king's intention is to go south." Mao Xiaofei expressed his thoughts, "The people of Jielin are unwilling to fight, not to mention that if you want to attack Shangqi, you need to cross the ice field first, and the natural danger is not easy to overcome. .And Jielin's current national strength, not to mention fighting against Qingxi, will only lead to exhaustion of the front line and insufficient support from the rear. The current monarch is a benevolent monarch, and perhaps Ye Jintian has received misinformation."

"Where did Ye Jintian get the misinformation? By the way, he seems to have a deep understanding of Jie Lin. What he knows is not just something that can be learned by just looking for it." Xu Qi said.

The news network behind Ye Jintian used to rely on Jinsu, although he was the young master, he never took care of it himself.

Mao Xiaofei couldn't help frowning his eyebrows: "Now that Jin Su is dead, if Ye Jintian doesn't go back to the Qinglong Gang, all the lines under him may be broken. I still think that the Qinglong Gang and Jie Lin may be inseparable. Contact. But it may not be Zelin."

"Although the Raksha clan is cruel, they are brave and foolhardy, and the leader is short-sighted. Xiao Fei, do you know when we will leave for Shangqi?" Xu Qi said seriously.

"I went to see Ye Jintian early this morning. His wound healed well, and the stitched place was not inflamed. Mu Canshang can also leave within a few days."

"Mu Canshang is coming with us too?" Jin Chen blinked.

"He took his men with him, but it's best to go together. If he encounters a horse thief again, he can deal with it."

"By the way, what about the two people who followed Xun Chi? Why didn't they disappear?"

"I don't know. There are too many people missing along the way. It's not easy to keep an eye on all of us. I have to report to the southern king. I have to go on the road in five days at most. Ye Jintian will definitely not be able to catch up." Give his father a New Year's gift before New Year's Eve, but Ye Bajiang, if he intends to harm this son, I think there are too many opportunities, maybe Jin Su is just for his son to practice." Speaking of Jin Su, Mao Xiaofei's face darkened, His throat was a little sluggish, he swallowed, and said again: "Before leaving Jielin, I wanted to find out whether the people of Jielin had any plans to go to war. reliable."

"Xiao Fei, I have a question, I have to ask you now." Xu Qi's expression was unprecedentedly serious, and his tone was also serious.

"I don't know, but I won't fight with Mu Canshang."

Xu Qi's brows loosened, and then Mao Xiaofei said: "But I will not use my relationship with Mu Canshang to hurt him."

The corner of Xu Qi's mouth twitched stiffly, "Even if he wants to be an enemy of Shang Qi?"

"Even if he is the enemy of the whole world." Mao Xiaofei said firmly.

There was an unreasonable look in Xu Qi's eyes, he even felt that Mao Xiaofei was a little confused.

"Different positions require different choices. Not everyone can freely choose their own roles. But my choice is that I will never hurt him, let alone assassinate him for anyone." Speaking of this, Mao Xiaofei He didn't shy away from it either, as soon as the words came out of his mouth, he actually felt a little more relaxed.

So he smiled and said, "I'll first ask when I can see the Great King of the South. I asked yesterday, but he doesn't seem to have time to see us little people."

In the city lord's mansion, outside the single courtyard where the southern king was received, the guards found a Jielin official who Mao Xiaofei had dealt with.The official smiled in embarrassment: "The king of the south came here, and he has a very important order to carry out. Like today, he is not in the house at all. There is nothing I can do about it. Why don't you come and see it tomorrow?"

"We have to leave here within five days, whether we see it or not, we will set off." Mao Xiaofei said with a strong attitude.

"Do you see if this works? As soon as the Southern King comes back, I'll find someone to give you a message." The official nodded and bowed.

Mao Xiaofei didn't want to embarrass him either, it was useless to embarrass him, the reception official obviously didn't have a high position, otherwise the official above him would not go out without him.He nodded and didn't say much to him.

There wasn't a single tree in the yard. Trees were very rare in Jielin City.There are only some low bushes, and the ornamental flowers are not listless.Mao Xiaofei turned his head sideways, and naturally looked at the room where Mu Canshang lived, which was also the room he had been assigned to.

The door to the room was closed.

A faint noise could be heard even five meters away.Mao Xiaofei didn't go over, he lay on the railing, looked downstairs, from here, the gate is low, and the yard is full of Jielin soldiers guarding, much stronger than when he first came here.After all, the rebellion in Yeyue City has been quelled, and the soldiers brought from Xulong City always have to send something to do. If there is nothing to do, people will not be idle, and any tricks and abductions may happen.

Just as he was thinking wildly, the door of the room opened behind him.

Tong Yi was taken aback, he didn't expect to see his opponent here, a feeling of disgust distorted his face even more, his face was blushing and his neck was thick, but now he was a little gloomy.

"What are you doing here?" Tong Yi asked loudly, turned his head and glanced into the room before continuing to question Mao Xiaofei, "Are you eavesdropping?"

Mao Xiaofei shrugged his shoulders: "You stand here, I will go into the room and shout a few words, see if you can hear clearly?" In fact, Mao Xiaofei could indeed hear the conversation in the room clearly, but he didn't listen at all.

The corners of Tong Yi's mouth were tightly pursed, and his lips formed an almost invisible line.

Tong Yi clenched his fists and walked towards this side. Mao Xiaofei also wanted to enter the house and walked towards the door. The speed of the sword was extremely fast, and suddenly, his hand stopped, the edge of the sword could not cut down, and was fixed between Mao Xiaofei's middle fingers.

Mao Xiaofei looked at him and smiled angrily.

Tong Yi frowned imperceptibly.

There was only a sound of "Zheng", and the sword body broke.

Mao Xiaofei held the broken sword between his fingers, shook it twice, and threw it casually, and fell downstairs without even hearing a sound.

"This sword is not good, don't look for this blacksmith next time." After finishing speaking, Mao Xiaofei stepped into the house.

Unexpectedly, there was another person inside, Shi Yizhong also came out, seeing the posture between the two, he rushed up to hold Tong Yi up.

Tong Yi was furious, his cheeks trembled, and he spat: "Bastard."

Shi Yizhong stretched out his hand to comfort him, and clasped his fists at Mao Xiaofei: "You're here." He was not as strong as Tong Yi, and it took a lot of effort to hold Tong Yi down, and he couldn't help panting.

"Is your major general in there?" Mao Xiaofei squinted at the room.

"I'm planning to take a nap. You know, if you are injured, you need to rest more, so that you can heal as soon as possible." Shi Yizhong politely warned Mao Xiaofei that Mu Shenshang was on a lunch break, and this is not an appropriate time to visit him.

Mao Xiaofei grinned: "Coincidentally, I'll sleep with him for a while."

"..."

The door slammed shut, and Tong Yi spit and scolded, "See if he wants to be ashamed, is he going to be ashamed?"

"Shut up! Don't you think it's embarrassing enough?" Shi Yizhong grabbed Tong Yi's sleeve and dragged him away.
