A knife in love

Chapter 160

The woman in white sighed, and continued, "It's just that Patriarch's martial arts are really powerful. What Dad gave him was poison brewed from poisonous weeds in the county. Just one drop in the water tank is enough to kill everyone." A villager. Seeing that the patriarch had drunk, he thought that the patriarch must be unlucky, and he was afraid that if the patriarch was poisoned, he might not be able to resist it, so he left and left, only to come to give him the next day. Patriarch collects the body.

"Daddy's plan has his reasons. He knows that even though he hasn't cultivated the most powerful internal skills of the patriarch, the swordsmanship he learned is enough to help him alone. As long as the patriarch dies, his martial arts He will not pass it on to others, and he will be the number one master of Fusang. Therefore, he was very happy that night.

"But the next morning, when he rushed to the house where the patriarch lived, he found that the patriarch was gone. Dad was shocked. He knew the skills of the patriarch. If he couldn't kill him, there would be endless troubles. At that time, Dad had fifty or sixty assassins under his command, all of them were very powerful. However, if they were asked to kill Patriarch, these people might not be able to obey Daddy's words, even if they did, they might not be Patriarch's opponents. So my father had no choice but to conceal the matter, planning to secretly search for the whereabouts of the patriarch himself. He told the villagers that the patriarch missed his hometown and had already left quietly.

"At that time, the whole village believed my father's words. I knew that the patriarch often climbed the snow peak to look at his hometown, so I believed in my father's words. I didn't know that I really admired the patriarch until I saw his dying appearance. What kind of person is daddy? The patriarch said that after he drank the poisoned wine that day, he relied on his profound internal strength to force the poisoned wine out of his body, but his internal organs were all invaded by the poison, and it was not easy to escape. He A man had been hiding in a cave at the top of Xuefeng for four years, and he was exhausted. He told me his real name was Liu Zongyan, and asked me to bring his ashes back to Ming Dynasty after his death.

"The patriarch said that he didn't hate my father, because when he taught martial arts, he didn't teach the villagers benevolence and morality, and made the villagers become reckless men who only knew how to use force to gain benefits. It was his own fault. He said my father was very smart. , but he is very ambitious and will definitely do something beyond his ability in the future. The patriarch persuaded me to leave my father so as not to be harmed by him.

"The patriarch gave a few more words of advice and said with a smile that he has been without food for seven days and can only rely on drinking a little water to sustain himself. God is sorry, let me find him, and he has no regrets. After finishing speaking, The patriarch slowly closed his eyes. I cried bitterly for a while, carried his body to the woods on the mountainside, picked up some dead branches and leaves, cremated him, and then went down the mountain with the ashes.

"It's just that since that day, I have respected and feared my father. His face was slightly gloomy, and my heart was pounding. I think that Ming Kingdom is thousands of miles away from Fusang, and there is an ocean in the middle. All my life Don't even think about going there. After returning home, he put the ashes of the patriarch into a jar and secretly buried them under a big tree in the backyard.

"My father's reputation is getting bigger and bigger. In the end, the generals in Ping'an capital sent people to invite him. Dad took Feihua Zhuyue and others to Ping'an capital. We live in Hanshan Fishing Village, which is just the most inconspicuous small village in Junshan City. , Compared with Koriyama and Heianjing, it is the difference between heaven and earth. The general is the biggest official in Fusang, even more powerful than the emperor. Dad was invited by the general to have a drink, which was a big event that caused a sensation in Fusang.

"Daddy lived in Ping'an capital for half a year, and when he returned to the Hanshan fishing village, he even brought twenty or thirty warriors with him. It turned out that the general appointed daddy as an official, and daddy was able to support his retainers. These warriors are the ones who rely on daddy to be his retainers. People. Dad returned to Hanshan Fishing Village and told everyone that he was leaving Hanshan Fishing Village and moving to Ping An Jing. Although the villagers were already rich, they were still extremely happy when they heard that they were going to Ping An Jing.

"More than 200 people from our village came to Ping'an Jing with my father and lived in a big house. Ah, the roads in Ping'an Jing are so wide that we have never imagined it. The people on the road walk very slowly, swaying and swaying. Yes, the woman wore beautiful clothes, shaved her eyebrows, and covered her mouth with a fan when speaking. Everything in Heianjing surprised the villagers.

"Daddy has always been very busy, and he made friends with high officials in the capital of Ping'an. One day, he called me suddenly and told me that he had decided to marry me to the general's younger brother. After the marriage between the two families, Daddy became a nobleman. The status in the imperial court will be greatly improved.

"Father didn't have a surname at first. At this time, he gave himself a name, Liusheng Zongyan. After becoming a nobleman, our family also took Liusheng as our surname. Daddy called me Liusheng Feiyan..."

Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan looked at each other, and they thought of four words at the same time: ashes and smoke.

I only heard Liu Sheng Feiyan continue to say: "Although I have just arrived in Ping'an capital, I also heard that the general's younger brother is an extremely tyrannical person, so I do not agree to this marriage. Dad scolded me angrily, and even pulled out the waist Throwing his sword before me, and asking me to choose between marrying and committing suicide, I had to obey his orders, and the next day I was carried into the general's brother's mansion.

"I originally planned for the worst, but when I entered the mansion, I found that the general's younger brother was even worse than I had heard. He already had four wives in his family, and each wife had children. These four women and Their children often acted badly behind the scenes and instigated the general’s younger brother to bully me. The general’s younger brother was addicted to alcohol and often whipped me. The two maids my father bought to serve me were bullied by him and killed one after another. Every time he was drunk After I drink, it will be my Good Friday. Although I have practiced swordsmanship for nearly ten years at that time, it is easy to kill him, but thinking of the Yagyu family, I have to endure it.

"After my father married me to the general's younger brother, the Liusheng family became more powerful in the court. Several of my cousins ​​became high-ranking officials. It's just that the general and another minister have always been at odds, and the two fought openly and secretly. Over the years, the general wanted to kill the minister several times, but the minister was protected by the emperor. Although he was finally exiled to a remote and wild place, the emperor never agreed to kill him.

"Although the general has the power of the court, he often executes officials, but that minister not only has a very high official position, but also has a reputation throughout Fusang. Even the general dare not kill him blatantly, for fear of stirring up civil uprising. Abandoning him, but worrying about turning him over in the future, it would be very bad for the general to send him. So the general found my father and asked him to send someone to kill the minister on the road to exile.

"My father knew that this matter was related to the rise and fall of the Liusheng clan, so he personally took Feihua Zhuyue and others to intercept and kill this minister on the road. It's just that this minister is also a very powerful person, and he knew that the general would not let him go Therefore, he invited experts from the Iga family and the Koga family, the most powerful ninja families in Fusang, to protect him. The ninjas of these two families are very good, with strange movements and many intrigues. Together, the two families are almost invincible. All Fusang. It’s just that the swordsmanship handed down by the patriarch is too powerful. Although the Yagyu family also killed five or six assassins, the patriarchs of the Iga and Koga families were all killed by my father.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the minister thought of a way.Taking advantage of the chaos, he killed a retainer who served him, changed his clothes, and threw himself into the fire, but he changed his clothes and fled.My father's killer found the body from the fire, and thought that the minister had died in the chaos, so he took the heads of the fake minister and several others back to the general to report to the general.The general was overjoyed and rewarded a lot of money.It's just that my dad had already become a rich man at that time, so he didn't pay much attention to the money.

"The general only knew that the minister was dead, so he acted without any scruples in the court. Not only did he coerce the officials of the court, he even ignored the emperor and the emperor. These enemies were so scared to death, they secretly united Get up and plan to get rid of the general. At this time, the minister who escaped also sneaked back to Heian capital. He captured the army of Ping'an capital, ambushed the general and his party outside the city, and killed the general's family.

"After my father heard the news, he knew that the minister would not let the Yagyu clan go. If he stayed in Ping'an capital, the whole family would be destroyed. Taking advantage of the opportunity of this minister to hunt down and kill the general's retainers, father and his clan escaped from Ping'an capital. It's just him I only cared about myself and the men in my clan, but I didn't expect that I was still in the general's brother's residence.

"When the rebel army rushed into the mansion, the general's younger brother was drinking and having fun with a few maikos. I caught a samurai and asked him what happened. He didn't say anything at first, but I cut off a right arm After that, I said that the general and his retainers had all been killed. Knowing that the general was finished, I first captured the four wives and their children of the general's younger brother, killed them all, and then beheaded The head of the general’s younger brother. Haha, haha.”

When Liu Sheng Feiyan said this, he looked up to the sky and laughed wildly.Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan's expressions changed, they really couldn't figure out why these Fusang people were so vicious.
