The carriage wobbled and stopped at the entrance of the village. Since the road was narrow and full of narrow paths piled up with muddy fields, the carriage could not pass through. Wang Tianci had to ask Southwest to look at the carriage and look for it by himself.He looked at the map in his hand, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't think it looked like it. Even if his father returned home, how could he come back to such a remote place?As far as the eye can see, there is a desolation. Because it is winter, there is no one in the small village.

A gust of cold wind blew, and Wang Tianci couldn't help but sneezed, and the movement caused a dull pain in his heart.

Just at this moment, Wang Tianci saw a man carrying a basin walking on the dirt road with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

"Auntie!" Wang Tianci called out, the wind blew his voice away a little, so he had no choice but to walk over quickly, and shouted again: "Auntie!"

The woman stopped when she heard this, and saw a tall young man walking towards her.

The woman squinted her eyes and looked at him first, then asked in confusion, "Who is Nan? Why are you calling me?"

"I'm here to find relatives, this is Zhaojiawan, right?"

"Yes, who are you looking for?" After asking, she said quite complacently, "There is no one in this village that I don't know."

"That's good. I'm looking for a family named Chen. The head of the family is Chen Youde. They moved back more than ten years ago."

"Chen Youde?" The woman repeated in a low voice, looked at Wang Tianci's face thoughtfully, suddenly her expression changed, she quickly lowered her head and said, "I don't know, I don't know, I have to go back quickly , my old man is still waiting for me to eat!"

She walked in a hurry, as if fleeing from the plague god, sprained her foot, and threw the mallet out of the basin, but she didn't care to pick it up, and limped away.

Wang Tianci picked up the mallet, watched the woman staggering away, narrowed his narrow eyes.

Judging by the woman's reaction, people in the village must know such a family, and there must be some reason why they kept silent.

Wang Tianci knocked on the doors of several more houses, but he was turned away without any surprise. The woman must have said something after returning to the village, and everyone avoided him.

"Master, didn't you find it?" Southwest asked.

Wang Tianci shook his head.

"Ah~ so what should we do? It's getting dark, where are we going to stay at night?"

"I see an abandoned temple in front of us. Let's go there for the night and make plans after dawn."

"Master, you said that the village is so big, why can't you find the master?"

Wang Tianci was fascinated by thinking about something, but Southwest couldn't hear the answer, so he continued talking on his own. "You said that this master is really true. If you don't want high-ranking officials and rich salary, what are you doing in this crappy place?"

As soon as they reached the entrance of the temple, the door suddenly slammed open from the inside with a "bang", and two lumps of black lacquered things rolled out of it, which made Southwest scream.After a closer look, it turned out to be two entangled beggars.

The only clean thing on the two of them is their object of contention - a steamed bun.

After seeing the screams from Southwest, the two people stopped at the same time, raised their heads from the dusty ground and glanced at Wang Tianci, and then they exchanged glances as if they had reached some kind of agreement.

Wang Tianci was not interested in watching the battle between the two, so he strode over them and entered the temple.

Although this temple is old, it can shelter from the wind and rain at any rate. Looking at the straw mats spread on the ground, it is obvious that there are regular customers living here. Needless to say, they are the two just now. Uninvited guests.

I haven't seen the whole picture of the temple yet.The smaller beggar approached with a playful face and said, "Brother, do you have any food on you? I'm almost starving to death."

Things are in Southwest, and when it comes to food, there is still a little left, but he doesn't want to meddle in other people's business, Wang Tianci was about to say something, Southwest said first: "No!"

When the little beggar heard this, his smiling face immediately collapsed. He spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground, cursed and said something in his dialect, but it was definitely not a good thing.

Wang Tianci didn't want to care about it, but seeing the two people's eyes shining, it seemed that he would not live in peace tonight.

……

Night falls quietly,

No, he concluded that there must be some movement between the two of them, late at night.The two of them couldn't wait to confirm it.

Wang Tianci sleeps lightly, and because he has been fighting all the year round, he has developed the habit of waking up at the slightest sign of trouble.

There was a sound in the ear, and the sword was unsheathed, and the thick forged sword was lightly resting on the beggar's neck.

The night was still very dark, the wind blew through the dark clouds, leaking a little moonlight, and the sharp sword shone coldly under the moonlight.

The beggar froze, and even held his luggage in his hands, but he didn't dare to move, looking ridiculous.

The little beggar's legs were already shaking like chaff, and he begged for mercy repeatedly: "Da Da Da, hero, please spare me!"

Looking at the man in front of him, although he didn't have any killing intent, even the corners of his lips were still curled up, but he had no doubt that as long as he said a wrong word, the sword would cut his throat without hesitation.

Before Wang Tianci could do anything, another beggar rushed over and begged for mercy on his behalf: "Hero, your lord has a lot, so let him spare his life magnanimously!"

Wang Tianci thought it was a little funny: "I killed him, so you don't have a competitor?"

"If you killed him, wouldn't I have no company?"

Although people are poor, they still know how to cherish their lives.

"It's not impossible, but you have to answer the next question honestly, and you can't tolerate any falsification."

"Yes Yes Yes."

"Let me ask you if you know Chen Youde's family."

The beggar hesitated for a long time and couldn't answer, so Wang Tianci had no choice but to increase the strength in his hand.

"Ahhh, it hurts."

When the tall beggar saw him, he hurriedly said, "I tell you! You are dying, so who are you going to watch over for?!"

"Speak quickly." Wang Tianci said, put down the sword, and rested the sword lightly on the shoulder of the little beggar.

The tall beggar Huazi swallowed, and stammered: "He, he, his family, long ago..."

Seeing that he couldn't speak for a long time, the little man simply turned his head and said, "The family was wiped out!"

"What!" Wang Tianci said in disbelief.

"I said that Chen Youde's family was wiped out not long after they moved here! There is no one left in the family!"

Wang Tianci's hand holding the sword tightened suddenly, his heart ached, his eyes turned red, and he vomited a mouthful of blood. After he wiped it off with his sleeve, he gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know who did it?"

"The person who came to the house reported that the little prince Xiaoyao was protecting him, so we couldn't tell the story."

"Little prince!"

Wang Tianci dived headlong into the night, and after he left, Southwest followed closely with a solemn expression. With Wang Tianci's temperament, he was afraid that he would cause trouble after being impulsive.

On the way, Wang Tianci ran down two horses, but he didn't dissipate his anger. In the end, he didn't sleep and didn't rest. It was only at the evening of the third day that he arrived at the little prince's house with a red lacquer plaque.

This guy, seeing himself groveling in front of an enemy like him, must be secretly happy.

Today he must use his long sword that has accompanied him in battle for many years and drank the blood of hundreds of thousands of people to cut off that dog's head.

For three days without sleep, the wound was jolting on the horse, and now it has cracked open. Wang Tianci only felt that his head was swollen and his eyes were black. It was all anger that supported him to come here. Won't have a good night's sleep.

As soon as Wang Tianci got off his horse, he saw the little prince coming back drunk after drinking flower wine.It was hitting the knife edge.

Wang Tianci let out a smirk, although the little prince was still drunk, he still felt something was wrong, he smiled, intending to fool him.

"Why is the general so leisurely and elegant..." He couldn't utter the next words.He stared as his head separated from his neck.

And Wang Tianci, finally exhausted, leaning on the sword, his eyes darkened, and fell in front of the prince's mansion.
