treacherous world

Uncle Kuan sat down and told everyone about a past event many years ago.

When Uncle Kuan was a child, he was a nomad in the desert. At that time, there were many nomadic peoples in the desert.There are not many of them, they live freely and happily.But one day, misfortune fell from the sky, and life and death were at a loss from then on.

Uncle Kuan and his tribe are attacked by a masked celibate man.

That man slaughtered the entire village indiscriminately and without any reason.Uncle Kuan was young, and after being injured, he pretended to be dead and escaped unharmed.

In a pool of blood, he saw the man take off his mask with his own eyes.At first I thought it should be a hideous murderer, but who knew that this heinous guy with blood on his hands actually had a face full of aura.

Seeing him among the corpses, Uncle Kuan rummaged for a while, found a box, left, and set fire to burn down the whole tribe.

Uncle Kuan became a vagrant from then on, and finally ran to the territory of Song Dynasty.

At that time, the border was not stable, and most of the generals at the border were mediocre. Song Jun, who was afraid of death, would kidnap some foreigners to help him work hard.In this way, Uncle Kuan went directly from a happy childhood to a painful life of exile.In the best years of his life, he ran around on the battlefield, and occasionally escaped into the desert, only to have a moment of peace, but every time he dreamed back at midnight, he would have nightmares again and again. That aura and handsome face was like a memory of Shura Yasha for him.

Until Zhao Pu moved into Mobei, he built Black Wind City and treated everyone who did not provoke wars, no matter if they were Han, mixed, or foreign.Uncle Kuan lived a good life, and Zhao Pu and the huge Zhao family army were the thickest and most reliable city wall for every frontier citizen who had experienced war and was displaced without any sense of security.Everyone gradually forgot about the hurt, and so did Uncle Kuan... He hadn't had this dream for a long time, and knew about Zhan Zhao's appearance.

However, Uncle Kuan analyzed it rationally, and he knew that Zhan Zhao could not be a ghost, nor could he be the same person from back then, or maybe there is a similarity between him. If he was alive, he would not be so young, let alone the famous Nanxia. Zhan Zhao.

And if you look closely, Zhan Zhao, apart from his delicate features and pleasing features, has a gentle and kind-hearted personality, unlike that person, who is evil and weird.

After listening to Uncle Kuan's narration, Gongsun was a little puzzled, "Why did he keep the pictures? What's in the box?"

Uncle Kuan shook his head, "At that time there was a lot of chaos, he seemed to be looking for something, but I couldn't hear what he said to our patriarch."

"Then the black box he stole, do you know what's inside?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Uncle Kuan frowned and shook his head.

"Don't jump to conclusions so quickly." Gongsun said seriously, "You were still young at the time, and children tend to have memory confusion after being frightened."

"That's right." Zhan Zhao also nodded, "If so many people were really killed for the contents of the black box, then the contents in the box must be very important. Take it away, you should recall carefully, after he got the box, did he open it and take out something?"

"Uh, what about this..." Uncle Kuan frowned in embarrassment and thought hard.To be honest, he did have a few memory gaps.Firstly, he was really too scared at the time, maybe he didn’t see it clearly, secondly, he had been trying to forget that terrible memory all these years, so for a while, he really couldn’t remember it.

The fourth son stretched out his hand and gently rubbed Uncle Kuan's temples, "Think slowly, relax."

Uncle Kuan calmed down and thought about it slowly, everyone also kept quiet and waited quietly.

Not long after, Uncle Kuan suddenly rubbed his chin and became dazed.

"Remember?" Gongsun asked.

"Oh Nope."

Everyone was discouraged.

"But I remembered something else." Uncle Kuan said seriously, "I seem to have seen that black box and what's inside when I was a child."

"What?" Everyone's curiosity was raised again.

"It's like this." Uncle Kuan said, "I remember once when I was a child, I saw the patriarch secretly hiding and sighing at the moon.

I was very young at the time, about four or five years old, so I ran over and asked him what was wrong.At that time, he was holding a black box in his hand. The box was open. He shook his head and sighed to me, saying, "The moon is the light of my hometown, when will I return to my hometown."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, what about the patriarch's homesickness?But isn't he a nomad? It's rare for a nomad to be homesick.

"Do you remember what was in the box?" Gongsun asked.

"I took a quick glance, and it was a piece of black cloth."

……

Everyone was stunned, all looked at Uncle Kuan, "Black cloth?"

"Yes! It's the black cloth!" Uncle Kuan nodded.

"Is there something wrapped in the black cloth?" Zhan Zhao wondered, thinking that a piece of black cloth was hidden in the box?It is estimated that it is packed with valuables such as jade pendants?

"Then I don't know. I was just trying to comfort him at the time." Uncle Kuan said helplessly, "But now that I think about it, it was this black box that that person took away from the patriarch!"

Everyone was silent, all suspected that there was something else in the box, but Uncle Kuan didn't see it.

"What is the hometown of your patriarch?" Zhao Pu asked.

Uncle Kuan shook his head, "Then I really don't know, we are all gathered by the patriarchs, and we usually change places after two or three months in each place."

"Did he say anything else about his hometown?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"Well, I remember comforting the patriarch and asking him why he was homesick and didn't go home?" Uncle Kuan shook his head when he said this, "The patriarch didn't know if he drank too much at the time, and he was crying, what did you say? Can't go back, everything can't go back, they are the chief culprit, they have to blame themselves."

"They?" Zhan Zhao frowned, "What them?"

"Oh, I'm just repeating, the patriarch's original words were 'we'." Uncle Kuan explained, "He said, 'I can't go back, everything can't go back, we are the ones to blame, we are the culprits, everything is wrong. We have brought the blame upon ourselves, the heavens and the earth cannot tolerate it!"

"The world is hard to tolerate?" Zhan Zhao pondered for a while, "Then do you still remember the expression on the patriarch's face when he saw the person who looked very similar to me..."

"Ah!" Uncle Kuan suddenly called out, making the fourth son jump in fright.

"How?" Zhao Pu asked.

"The patriarch seems to know that person!" Uncle Kuan remembered, and his emotions fluctuated a bit, "I remember when he saw the masked man, he shouted retribution."

"Retribution..." Zhan Zhao frowned.

"Then, when he was about to die, the masked man took off the mask, and when the patriarch saw his face, his expression was... like that."

"What?" Everyone asked together.

"That's right, I was shocked! Then I felt unbelievable, but I didn't say anything, and I died."

Everyone looked at each other, always feeling that there seemed to be some kind of grievance or hatred involved.

"Speaking of which." Uncle Kuan suddenly asked Zhan Zhao, "Could he be your father?"

Zhan Zhao shook his head, "Impossible, my father is still alive, and he was not exactly the same as me when he was young, and he doesn't know martial arts."

"Oh..." Uncle Kuan nodded, "Maybe they are similar."

"It is said that I am very similar to my grandmother, are you sure that person is a man?" Zhan Zhao confirmed again.

"Of course it's a man!" Uncle Kuan nodded with certainty, "Of course I can tell the difference between men and women."

After that, Uncle Kuan couldn't think of anything anymore.

Zhan Zhao sighed, and the result of the question was that there were more mysteries, and it would have been nice if Yutang was here.

Gongsun and Zhao Pu were worried about Zhan Zhao at first, but at a glance, Zhan Zhao didn't seem to take this matter seriously at all, but it was written all over his face——Why didn't Bai Yutang come here? It's so slow!

Little Sizi pursed his mouth, and a strange image popped up in his head. On the official road, a white mouse was running wildly, and on the cliff, a kitten was squatting on the stone and looking around, that anxious.

Shaking his head quickly, the fourth son suddenly covered his face - toothache!

Afterwards, Gongsun was busy taking care of the fourth son who suddenly had a toothache, Zhao Pu continued to deal with important military affairs, and the others were also busy with their own work. Zhan Zhao couldn't wait any longer, and saw that there were dark clouds in the distance, and it seemed that it was going to rain heavily.

He searched for two umbrellas all over the yard, walked out of the Marshal's Mansion, walked on the wide road paved with black stones in Heifeng City, and walked out of the city.

……

Bai Yutang rode Bai Yunfan up to Heifeng Ridge, then entered the ruined temple to avoid the rain.

As soon as I entered the temple gate, it was already pouring rain.

There is no one in the temple, only a few Buddha statues.Bai Yutang saw a lot of Buddha statues in the temple, so it can be seen that this is a Guandi Temple. After all, this is a border gate. This temple looks like it has been around for a long time, and it is not complete. It was built by some soldiers who fought in the battlefield back then, so that the sages of martial arts could bless them. win.

Bai Yutang stood in a daze in the temple, listening to the heavy rain pouring down outside, and then patted Bai Yunfan's neck.At this time, Bai Yunfan had calmed down, and the uneasiness just now was gone... Bai Yutang was also a little puzzled, what's going on?

At this moment, the sound of carriages and horses came from outside.

Bai Yutang frowned slightly, and when he looked outside the temple, he saw a large group of people, horses and carriages coming up the mountain in great strength, and they seemed to be sheltering from the rain.

Bai Yutang led Bai Yunfan into the temple, and found a place where he could walk without being in the way and stood there, thinking that as soon as the rain stopped, he would rush to Heifeng City immediately, not knowing what happened to Zhan Zhao.

"It's all because of that Zhan Zhao!"

A voice came in from outside the ruined temple, it sounded like a little girl's breasts.

Bai Yutang stretched out his hand to pick out his ears, wondering if he was thinking about the cat and hallucinating?

At this time, a horse team stopped outside the temple and entered the temple mightily.

One of the girls, who looked sixteen or seventeen years old, complained to an elegant and luxurious man dressed as a foreigner beside her, "That bastard Zhao Pu, don't let me see him again, the Princess will not spare him..."

Before she finished speaking, the man beside her gently pulled her.

The girl froze for a moment, only to realize that there were people in the temple.

Bai Yutang glanced at the crowd, and felt a slight movement in his heart—the Tubo people were dressed up, and he heard the monarch say Zhao Pu, so it was obvious that he heard the "Zhan Zhao" right before.

Since they are dressed by Tibetans and claim to be monarchs, and these people seem to have a lot of entourages and are dressed decently, could it be the royal family of Tubo?

But Bai Yutang didn't understand why the Tubo royal family would enter the hinterland of the Central Plains, or the outskirts of Black Wind City...to play?

At the same time, the other party was also looking at Bai Yutang.

Who is here, don't need to ask, it was Han Changzai and Princess Heyan who made Zhao Pu Zhanzhao feel disgraced in the Black Wind Inn.

Everyone originally wanted to bypass Heifeng City to do business, but they didn't expect to encounter heavy rain on the way, so they ran up the mountain to avoid the rain.

Everyone glanced at Bai Yutang, and like many people who saw Bai Yutang for the first time, three words popped into their heads - beautiful man, other than that, they couldn't think of anything else for the time being.

Different from Zhan Zhao's gentleness, Bai Yutang looked sharper, and his expression was more serious, indifferent.But inside the dilapidated ruined temple, the white horses in white clothes are very glaring.

Han Changzai had a hard time imagining why a man would be so good-looking. In addition, Bai Yutang's aura was relatively strong, which gave him a sense of oppression, which only masters would radiate.There are not many such young and handsome masters in the Central Plains martial arts. Thinking about the Zhan Zhao and Zhao Pu he saw before, Han Chang knew in his heart that the one in front of him was probably the legendary Chinchilla Bai Yutang.

Han Chang was signaling Princess Yan to stop talking, this person cannot be provoked for the time being, they still have serious business to attend to.

Princess Yan also listened to him and stopped talking.

A samurai waited for her to sit down.

Of course, Bai Yutang also roughly understood the identity of the other party, and he was still staring at the heavy rain outside the door in a daze, as if he didn't want to ask about the situation there at all.

Bai Yunfan stood beside Bai Yutang, flicking his tail occasionally, the slightly furry tail would touch the back of Bai Yutang's hand or arm.Bai Yutang saw that it looked relaxed, and knew that it was not afraid or nervous now.

Originally, the rain in the desert could not last for a long time, but this time was different. For some reason, it poured heavily for almost half an hour, and there was no intention of stopping at all.

Zhan Zhao walked out of the gate of Black Wind City, and the guards at the gate knew him and greeted him.

Zhan Zhao also greeted people with a smile, and glanced at the official road in the distance.To be honest, Zhan Zhao was in a conflicted mood, so Bai Yutang would probably find a place to shelter from the rain, right?At this time, I really want him to come here quickly, but if he rushes in the rain, I don't want to give up.

"Master Zhan?" Seeing that he was anxious, the gatekeeper asked, "Are you waiting for someone?"

"Huh?" Zhan Zhao was embarrassed, and quickly shook his head, "No, no...hehe, come out and have a look at the scenery."

The gatekeepers looked at each other, thinking that it was raining heavily, and the ground was full of mud, what scenery is there to see?

Zhan Zhao is holding an umbrella, ready to go a little farther to see the "scenery"

The gatekeepers didn't say anything, just holding two umbrellas to watch the scenery... Mr. Zhan is really unique.

……

"What the hell is this weather, it's been raining for so long!"

Yan Junzhu is impatient, and finally couldn't stand it anymore, so he cursed.

Just as Han Changzai was about to speak, he saw the horses they were using to pull the cart start to move restlessly.

Several guards hurriedly pulled the horse back.

Princess Yan looked upset, raised his hand and whipped the whip, "Be honest, I'll kill you bastards again!"

Bai Yutang was a little surprised, such an uneducated princess, but he didn't bother to care, at this moment he cared more about Bai Yunfan.

Bai Yunfan is a BMW, and like Hei Xiao and Zao Duoduo, it is famously bold, but at this time Bai Yunfan is also a little uneasy, and makes some guttural sounds similar to "Gulu Gulu".

Bai Yutang looked at it, lowered his head and slightly closed his eyes, put one hand on Bai Yunfan's back, and gently stroked its neck with the other. On the one hand, he comforted it so that it would not be afraid; emotions, whether it's nervousness or fear.

Han Changzai is more experienced, he was baffled by the uneasiness of the horses on Tubo's side just now, but now Bai Yutang's horses seem to be a little alert, could there be any danger approaching?

"It's so annoying, it's like a dove, is it noisy?" Princess Yan muttered to make Bai Yunfan annoyed.

Han Changzai saw that Bai Yutang's hand stroking Bai Yunfan's neck was slightly stagnant, but then he seemed to forget about it and didn't want to pursue it. He breathed a sigh of relief and looked back at Princess Yan. You have a bad temper, and you have important things to do, so don't cause trouble.

Princess Yan has been suffocated since she was ridiculed by Zhao Pu at the Black Wind Inn just now, and when she saw a Han man coming here, she wanted to vent her anger, but Han Changzai just watched closely.

Han Chang neglected a link here, this unruly princess would not be able to tell that he was Bai Yutang from his white clothes, he just regarded him as an ordinary Han Chinese.And this princess has a problem, as long as he sees someone beautiful, no matter whether he is male or female, he will hate him to death, which is extremely weird.

At this time, instead of stopping, Bai Yunfan moved his front hooves slightly, rubbing his head lightly against Bai Yutang's shoulder, biting his sleeve from time to time, as if he wanted to tell him something.

It was the first time Bai Yutang saw Bai Yunfan so nervous, so he patted him on the back to calm him down.

Bai Yunfan, Zao Duoduo, and Hei Xiao, to Bai Yutang, Zhan Zhao, and Zhao Pu, were equivalent to family and friends.BMWs are hard to find, and the three horses are extremely spiritual and have deep feelings for each other.Bai Yutang loves cleanliness so much, he often brushes Bai Yunfan's back and bathes himself, not to mention beating him, he is not even willing to touch him.

Princess Yan is also blind, and wanted to vent her anger on the Han people, but when she heard that Bai Yunfanhan was still arguing more, she suddenly raised her hand and whipped her, "Looking for death, bastard, are you annoying..."

She moved so fast that she was caught off guard, and Han Changzai didn't have time to stop her.

Of course...it is impossible for this whip to hit Bai Yunfan.Just landed on the ground, because the distance is not enough...

There was a "snap", crisp and crisp.

Bai Yunfan was quite puzzled, and looked back at her, not frightened.

Ordinary stupid horses might have been scared away all of a sudden, but Bai Yunfan is naturally not afraid of a country girl, and wonders if this person is sick.

Bai Yutang's expression changed, he turned his head to look at Han Changzai, but not Princess Yan.

Han Chang was staring at him, extremely embarrassed... He was really helpless towards the princess in his heart, and caused troubles again, but after all, he was the ruler of the metropolis, so he couldn't just make an apology to ease the situation.

Seeing that the other party didn't express anything, Bai Yutang slowly turned his head.

Han Chang was stunned for a moment, surprised in his heart—don't you say that Bai Yutang will take revenge, and has a perverse personality?Why are you so good-tempered?Thinking about hearing that Zhan Zhao Wenrun Ruyu is an honest person, but seeing him at the inn is clearly a clever ghost and full of bad taste, could it be that the rumors are wrong, Bai Yutang is Lord Qianqian...

It's just that he hadn't thought of the word "gentleman", when suddenly Bai Yutang raised his sleeve gracefully.

Following his seemingly meaningless movement, Han Changzai felt a gust of wind pass by his ears, and then saw all the horses in his cavalry suddenly screaming, and then galloped out of the temple.

The Tubo guards didn't know what was going on, and the horse seemed to be frightened.

Only Han Changzai saw that every horse received a slap on the trifurcate bone, and this slap was worth it. All the horses, including the stupid horse pulling the carriage, broke free from the reins like crazy, and rushed out of the temple gate ...

"What's going on!" Princess Yan stomped her feet and instructed her subordinates, "Quick chase!"

All of a sudden, there was chaos at the gate of the temple, and the heavy rain was still pouring down. A group of horses were about to run down the mountain, and a group of Tubo warriors were chasing after them, making a lot of noise.

Han Chang shook his head helplessly, looking at Bai Yutang, he raised his eyebrows slightly and seemed quite satisfied.

Han Chang felt a little more at ease in his heart, it seemed that Bai Yutang was still a large number of adults, and he would not care about a little girl like the princess, and he ran around here for a while, which could be regarded as calming him down.As for the few air palm moves he just made, he was almost invisible, even if he slapped the little princess to death with one palm, he would still be unnoticed. This person... can't be provoked!

Just as he was thinking, Han Changzai suddenly noticed that Bai Yutang's originally relaxed expression turned serious.

He frowned slightly, looking in the direction of the mountain gate, seemingly thoughtful.

Han Chang came back to his senses and found that Princess Yan was tugging on his sleeve.

"The county lord."

"Brother, where are you?"

Han Chang was taken aback for a moment, looked left and right, only to find that apart from Ada and his two bodyguards, the other warriors and horses were gone behind him.

What's even weirder is that the original noisy voice disappeared in an instant.

There was no sound of horses barking or people shouting around, only the sound of pattering rain remained, and suddenly it was so quiet, so quiet that it made people feel weird.

Han Chang is looking at Princess Yan.

"Suddenly there was no sound." Princess Yan was still dissatisfied, "You are so stupid, did you chase the horse and run away?"

Han Chang shook his head, and saw Bai Yutang pressing Bai Yunfan's neck with one hand and rubbing it gently, which seemed to mean to relax him.

After waiting for a while, there was still no sound. Han Changzai felt that something was wrong, so he wanted to go out to have a look, but as soon as he reached the entrance of the temple, Bai Yutang suddenly stretched out his hand and waved it lightly.

Han Changzai immediately stopped and looked at him.

Bai Yutang's eyes were still looking outside the gate. Under the dark clouds and heavy rain, Heifengling looked dark and deep. It was getting dark now, and the surroundings were eerily quiet.

"What happened?" Han Changzai finally couldn't bear it and asked Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang was silent for a while, then asked, "Didn't you smell it?"

"What's the smell?" Han Chang subconsciously looked at Bai Yutang, thinking to himself, besides the smell of soil and rain, is there any other smell?

Bai Yutang frowned slightly, "The smell of blood."

At the same time, a gust of mountain wind came...

Han Chang was covering his nose, only to feel a fishy smell in the wind, what Bai Yutang said was true, it smelled like blood.

"It stinks!" Princess Yan held her nose to see Han Changzai, "What's the smell?"

At this moment, Bai Yutang finally knew what Bai Yunfan was worried about. It was because he smelled a strong smell of blood, and what animals were most afraid of, the smell of death.
