Strange Records of Xijing

Hu Ren felt the cold tip of the knife lingering on his skin for a week, as long as Zhang Feiran exerted a little force, the tip of the knife would pierce his skin and pick out his intestines.

He was so frightened that he was sweating profusely, and the sweat flowed down the sides into his hair and ears. His ears were buzzing, and his eyes were almost blinded by the scorching sun in the sky.

He was afraid, he was so afraid that he had forgotten the thoughts he had been instilled for many years, how sacred the Holy Land was to his family, and the secret that his grandfather had to protect the Holy Land even if he died.

"What do you want to say?" Without the reverence and attachment to the holy land, it means that he has lost his fearless courage. Now this young barbarian is no different from those cowardly captives, looking at Zhang with trepidation. Fei Ran, afraid that what he said would make the evil ghost with the knife unhappy, so he finished him off with one knife.

With a gloomy face, Zhang Feiran glanced at the corpse on the ground and said, "Let's talk about Jin Yong first."

"Just...we knew this news in advance. Grandpa didn't want you to find the Holy Land, but other people in the clan wanted to find the Holy Land through you. Grandpa had a disagreement with them and didn't want to conflict with them, so he took me with him first. Came here."

After hearing his words, Zhang Feiran felt even more confused: "Do you know the whereabouts of the Holy Land?"

Probably because he felt that the tip of the knife on his belly had a tendency to sink, the Hu man quickly replied: "I don't know, I don't know, Grandpa...Grandpa, he may know."

Zhang Feiran said coldly: "But he is already dead."

The Hu people were worried that Zhang Feiran would kill him, so he quickly added: "Actually, even if Grandpa is still alive, you can't get in."

"Why?"

The Hu man swallowed his saliva and replied: "Grandpa once told me about the Holy Land. He said, one of your princes heard about the Holy Land of our family and snatched it. He didn't know What method was used to make the Holy Land disappear."

"Disappeared?" Zhang Feiran didn't believe it, "How could such a beautiful city disappear? If it disappeared, where did Prince Wei and his party enter four years ago? If you lie again, the temper of this knife will not be so good Already!"

Hu Ren almost burst into tears, what he heard was this version, it was at a critical moment, how dare he lie to Zhang Feiran?

At this time, the barbarians wished they could find out their former self, so they would slap him twice before speaking.

Perhaps it was the belief in surviving that inspired the barbarian, who became smarter and quickly changed the subject: "This man was caught by my grandfather some time ago, and after I caught him, my grandfather made him into a puppet. "

"Arrest him? Why arrest Jin Yong?" This is what Zhang Feiran couldn't figure out the most. After reviewing, it was under Zhang Feiran's command.After arriving in Zhang Feiran's army, it took Jin Yong a few more years to finally become a general.It is impossible for such a person to have an affair with a foreign race.

The Hu man had a bitter face and replied: "Because Grandpa said that this time you have a general named Zhang, and he will send this person to find the whereabouts of the Holy Land."

An uproar!

Zhang Feiran only felt as if someone had dug his heart with a knife, and the emptiness and fear that he hadn't felt for decades came to him again.

He remembered that about fifteen days ago, Jin Yong left the barracks and would visit his family in his hometown in the frontier fortress.

This is actually not a rare thing, because the Zhou Dynasty has grown stronger and stronger over the years, and the surrounding small countries can only prostrate themselves as ministers. How dare they tear a piece of meat from the Zhou Dynasty?Even if they wanted some benefits, they dared to bribe domestic businessmen to quietly bring back some sericulture, tea, and grain seeds from the Zhou Dynasty.

Also because of this reason, three years ago, if the soldiers whose hometown was stationed near the barracks were able to have ten days of vacation a year, they could temporarily leave the barracks and go home to visit their relatives.

Jin Yong did not go home in previous years. He is a general and has a heavy responsibility.This year, it was because he received a letter from his family saying that the old man in the family was seriously ill, and he was afraid he would never recover. He hoped to see his son who did not return home for the last time before he died, so Jin Yong explained the reason to Zhang Feiran and hurried home .

It's just that I didn't expect that after this trip, I didn't even see the old man's last side.

Zhang Feiran didn't believe that this incident could be such a coincidence, now it seems that the family letter was probably created by the barbarian in front of him and his grandfather.

Two barbarians from foreign races were able to find out the emperor's secret decree, and they calculated in advance that after he received the secret decree, they would send Jin Yong to find the whereabouts of the holy place, designed to make Jin Yong into a puppet, and secretly arranged a deadly illusion, planning to come One by one.

If Pei Jingxing hadn't killed the barbarian and destroyed the illusion, the entire group would have been buried in the desert this time.

Thinking of this, even Zhang Feiran, who has been fighting enemies for many years, couldn't help but feel a bit of fear, not to mention the other people present.

"Who was the man who told you the news?"

People cannot be brought back to life after death, what Zhang Feiran can do now is to find out the person behind the scenes who arranged all these things to avenge Jin Yong.

This is also to clear away potential obstacles and dangers for Pei Jingxing and others.

"I don't know." The Hu man shook his head and looked at Zhang Feiran in fear, "I am young and my status in the clan is not high, so I am not qualified to participate in decision-making."

"I don't know?" Zhang Feiran's wrist sank, and the tip of the knife cut a shallow gash on the barbarian's belly, "I'll give you another chance."

"I really don't know!" The Hu man knew that Zhang Feiran was not lying to him, so he cried out in fright, hiccupping and saying, "Grandpa didn't...hiccup...didn't tell me, I...hiccup...I just Listening to others shouting... hiccup... calling him Wan... hiccup... Daoist Wan."

"Wan Daoist?" Pei Jingxing, Su Yan, and Gao Zekai on the side were all shocked, especially Pei Jingxing, who remembered the urgent report from the Jinwu Guard that night that Wan Taoist's body was first found in a ruined temple, and then Missing, is it true that Taoist Wan is still alive?

Zhang Feiran turned to look at Pei Jingxing, and asked, "Do you know each other?"

Pei Jingxing nodded, seeing Zhang Feiran's personal soldiers all around him, he replied in a low voice: "That Taoist Wan is the one who abolished the crown prince, and he is also the senior brother of the national teacher."

"Pei Street Envoy!" Gao Zekai saw that his master was mentioned in Pei Jingxing's words, and said, "Pei Street Envoy, one thing is another thing, ten thousand Taoist priests are ten thousand Taoist priests, national teachers are national teachers, even if they were once brothers , My master has never softened his heart."

"Abolishing the crown prince?" Zhang Feiran was dumbfounded, he found that this matter had gradually exceeded his controllable range.

The deposed prince has been dead for 30 years, and now a Wan Taoist who is said to be from the deposed prince's former department suddenly appeared, which is really strange.However, he vaguely remembered that there were indeed a few people dressed as Taoist priests around the abandoned prince back then. Could this ten thousand Taoist priests be one of those Taoist priests?

Zhang Feiran couldn't help but glanced at Gao Zekai. The latter noticed his gaze sweeping over, his face froze, and then he smiled and said, "General Zhang, that Wan Daoist was indeed my master's senior brother, but because he He is the accomplice of the deposed prince, and because of this, my master vomited blood in anger, and his decades of practice were ruined, and my master has long since lost his brotherhood with him."

Zhang Feiran smiled: "Master Gao is too worried."

It's just that this smile fell into Gao Zekai's eyes, but it made him feel even more agitated.

"Where did that person find you?"

Even though the young barbarian didn't know the true identity of the person behind the scenes, Zhang Feiran decided to try again.

"It's in Xijing," the Hu man stopped crying at this time, and replied tremblingly with wet tears all over his face, "We went to Xijing because we heard that the deposed prince hid the map that can find the holy place in the in a dress."

clothing!

Pei Jingxing suddenly remembered Xiannu, she was the concubine of the abolished prince, and she was also from a barbarian, and she was the one who told the abolished prince about the holy land of his clan, so he asked, "Hundred birds facing the phoenix clothes?"

"That's right," Hu Ren nodded, "I remember Alisu said that she knew someone in Xijing, and she had some friendship with her aunt. Alisu said that the secret of my family's holy place is contained in the phoenix clothes of Bainiaochao , but because the deposed prince is dead, and the whereabouts of Bai Niao Chao Feng Yi is unknown, we may have to stay in Xijing for ten years, or even decades before we can find this dress."

"and after?"

"Later, Alisu was very happy one day. She said that she found that someone else was also looking for Bai Niao Chao Feng Yi, and that person had more contacts than us. As long as you follow him, you can find Bai Niao Chao Feng Yi One day, the closed-door drum in Xijing was over, but Alisu insisted on going out, saying that she found out that tonight, that person went back to the ghost market in Xijing, where the whereabouts of Bainiao Chaofengyi. But we waited For three days, I haven’t seen Alisu come back. Alisu is the most likely candidate of my family to become a saint. The elders saw that Alisu disappeared, and tried every means to find out, but there was no whereabouts of Alisu. "

Alisu, who was the girl with the yellow gauze and beard back then, followed Su Yan and made a deal with Huapi first, but at the last moment she backtracked and tried to snatch the Bainiao Chaofeng clothes from Huapi, but was skinned by the latter.It's just that the painted skin was soon wounded by Su Yan and Pei Jingxing who were chasing after him, and his life and death were unknown. The skin and flesh of Alisu were discarded in the house, and they had rotted long ago.

In this world, no one knows what happened to Alisu in the end.

Zhang Feiran walked back and forth beside the barbarian with his hands behind his back, after thinking for a while, he asked the barbarian: "How many people are there in your clan?"

The Hu man shook his head and said: "Since the holy land was robbed by the deposed prince, our tribe has been divided into many branches in order to find a way to return to the holy land. There are 27 people in our branch. We usually rely on performing fire-breathing skills, Whirling dances and dazzling performances make a living. Three years ago, we heard that although the deposed prince was dead, Xijing had clues about the Holy Land, so we accumulated traveling expenses by performing juggling, and walked slowly to Xijing.”

Zhang Feiran asked again: "Only your grandfather insists on preventing us from finding the Holy Land?"

"Yes."

Zhang Feiran made a calculation and said: "It seems that there are at least twenty barbarians who want to use us, and a praying mantis catches cicadas, and the oriole is behind."

Hu people dare not speak.

Zhang Feiran looked at the Hu people's fear of death, remembered that Jin Yong was murdered by the damn Hu people and his grandfather, and was made into a puppet after death, and couldn't help being angry.

"Where's your contact information?"

"No." The Hu man wanted to live, but he didn't dare to lie. He replied with a mournful face, "Grandpa took me away, and he made up his mind not to go back. Grandpa said that those people wanted to save themselves after death." Back at the Holy Land, I have forgotten how sacred the Holy Land is, and I still want foreigners to enter the Holy Land for a second time, they are no longer our people.”

The last thread also seems to be broken.

Zhang Feiran clenched his hands into fists, took a deep breath, and asked, "Can you draw? Can you draw the portraits of the rest of your tribe?"

The Hu people thought that there was an opportunity to redeem their crimes, so they nodded quickly and replied, "Yes, yes, I can draw. I can draw their faces and give them to you."

Zhang Feiran gave the soldiers at the side a wink, and said, "Take it down and let him finish the painting."

"Yes."

After the Hu people were taken away, Zhang Feiran recruited another soldier: "Bury General Jin Cang's body well, and try to be as tactful as possible when sending letters to his family, not to mention that someone deliberately imitated the notes of General Jin Cang's family and sent them to his family." He cheated him out by writing a fake letter from his family. You said that when General Jin Shen was patrolling, he encountered a group of bandits. They, tell them the bad news first, don't let the old man know."

"Yes," the soldier took the order, looked at the old barbarian's body again, and said bitterly, "General, what should we do with the grandpa and grandson?"

Zhang Feiran's eyes showed a cold look, and he gritted his teeth and said: "When that barbarian finishes painting the portrait, he kills him with a knife, and throws both corpses into the wilderness for the wild dogs to eat."

"It's too cheap for him!" The soldiers in this camp were all picked by Jin Yong to find the whereabouts of the Holy Land, and they have a very good relationship with Jin Yong, "How Jin Shen died, he should die , let him taste the suffering that Jin Shenjiang suffered before he died!"

But Zhang Feiran shook his head: "Killing him is to avenge Jin Canjun. If you don't kill him, you are accumulating virtue for Jin Canjiang. You go down."

Only then did the soldier suddenly realize that even with a black face on his face, he could see him blushing, and said: "Yes."

"General Zhang, isn't this appropriate?" At this moment, after listening to the conversation between the two, Gao Zekai suddenly said, "Since he has recruited and helped us draw the portraits of the rest of the barbarians, then he should be let go .”

"Road to life?" Zhang Feiran looked at Gao Zekai coldly, and finally laughed suddenly, "I only know that if Pei Jingxing hadn't broken the barbarian's illusion, we would all be dead!"

Gao Ze's face turned red, and his ears were about to bleed.

Zhang Feiran looked at Gao Zekai, sighed suddenly, and said in a soft tone: "Master Gao, this place is no better than Xijing, even if you just take a wrong step, there is no room for salvation. You have to remember that kindness is reserved for For your own people, the more merciful you are to the enemy, the more people you will harm. On the battlefield, if we were merciful, these aliens would have gone to Xijing long ago!"

Gao Zekai's face turned red and white, and he regretted why he had to speak at this time, but for a barbarian who tried to kill them.But he was also a little displeased, as the saying goes, God has the virtue of good life, this Zhang Feiran looks like a murderer at first glance, there are countless people's wronged souls on hand, reasoning with this person is like playing the piano with a cow.

Gao Zekai didn't know that Zhang Feiran's eyes had been staring at him, paying close attention to every slight change on his face.Zhang Feiran was twice as old as Gao Zekai, and his career on the battlefield was longer than Gao Zekai's age. A teacher and apprentice who had a smooth life since childhood, his thoughts could not escape Zhang Feiran's eyes.

Sensing Gao Zekai's thoughts, and thinking that there was a useless Zhao Shimin in the camp, Zhang Feiran was even more worried about his apprentice's actions this time.
