man sanctified in death row vest

Chapter 208 Pingxi (4800 word chapter)
The legend that Miaomi has nine lives seems to be true, and Xiao Fengmiao, who insisted on refusing to live and die and depend on Zheng Xiu, suffered a heavy price for this.

When Zheng Xiu woke up, the back of his head was resting on his wife's soft thigh. When he looked up, Zheng Xiu could only see his wife's hair.He remembered the "Dragon Inn", and struggled to get up, but was pushed back by his wife.

Zheng Xiu could only arch upwards with his hands.

"Hmm~"

Xie Luohe gasped in anger.

Zheng Xiu finally managed to see his wife's worried and beautiful face clearly.

Madam blushed, and patted the "zongzi hand" that was restlessly raised and lowered on her chest, and reprimanded.

"It's not honest to be injured!"

Xiaofeng let out a cute roar with a meow, jumped down from Xie Luohe's shoulder, and scratched Zheng Xiu's face with her claws without saying a word, leaving blood-red marks.

"No!"

Taking advantage of his wife's inattention, Zheng Xiu jumped up suddenly and said in surprise: "My plaque!"

"What happened to the plaque?"

Xie Luohe was puzzled at first, and then suddenly realized: "You mean the one that was damaged? It's okay, just write it later."

Zheng Xiu was stunned for a moment, rubbing the still painful brows.

There seemed to be something jumping between the eyebrows.

Zheng Xiu looked around and found that he was in the warm home of the two. "I'll go out and have a look." After leaving a sentence, Zheng Xiu hurriedly ran towards the direction of Mo Hexuan in his memory.

Xie Luohe looked slightly stunned, but he was finally worried, and chased after Xiao Fengmiao who was wronged and angry.

When Zheng Xiu passed out due to "headache syndrome", the sun was born when the sun was born. Today, the sun is full of sunshine, but it is changed to the west.When I woke up, it was sunset.I came to "Mohexuan" in a messy mood, and the two-sided plaque on the ground was put together by someone, and stood upright at the side - probably it should be Xie Luohe, and only she would treat her family in such a chaotic time. The plaque is so heartfelt.

The moment Zheng Xiu saw the plaque written by himself, his pupils shrank slightly.The "Dragon Inn" he saw before he passed out was like a dreamland, which no longer existed. The three characters "Mohexuan" are still vigorous and full of literati charm, and every piece of peeling gold paint on it is exactly the same as in memory.This is exactly the calligraphy he wrote by himself ten years ago.

"Mohe, Mohe, Mohe. There is nothing wrong with a word, nothing wrong. So, who is wrong?"

Zheng Xiu was puzzled and murmured to himself.

Xie Luohe hugged the cat and stuck it from behind, twisted her husband's body, and she took the initiative to stick her forehead.

If it was in the past, Zheng Xiuding would put his mouth on it with a lot of fun, and Xie Luohe would always laugh and slap him, and then the husband and wife would fight, from the end of the bed to the head of the bed, in an amiable manner, always like this, these The little habit made the two of them live a dull married life for ten years, and they still have a sweet relationship and a special taste.But Zheng Xiu was not in the mood at this time, and let Xie Luohe play around with a blank expression.

"It's not burning."

Xie Luohe murmured puzzledly.

"I..." Zheng Xiu stared at his wife, opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word, and finally could only shake his head vigorously: "Forget it, it's okay, maybe I'm tired."

It took a whole ten days before Ridi commanded the living clansmen to dig a big pit outside the town, move out the corpses in the town one by one, and bury them carefully.This has become a mass grave.

For the past ten days, everyone in the Lie Sun tribe was worried that Atulu would make a comeback.Some people said that Atulu was cut in two by Boss Mo that day, so he must have died.The army of the Western Regions was scared out of their wits and did not dare to commit another crime.

What made Ridi feel uneasy was that in the past ten days, no one came from the Western Regions either in business or through channels.All news outside Richan Valley was cut off, and the whole town was shrouded in a terrifying tranquility that was about to storm and the mountains were full of buildings. This kind of "peace" was so quiet that it was frightening.

Every day, the patriarch Ridi sent his best men out to investigate the news.It is worth mentioning that after "recovering from injury", the Riding boy seemed to have regained his life, and he gradually mastered the thaumaturgy that he had inadvertently learned when he peeked into the doorway in the desert.

His feet can grow "roots" and stick to any place.He can easily climb over cliffs and rocks, fly over eaves and walls, and even on the walls, he can walk like flying with the roots of his feet.

Such a strange phenomenon fell on Ri Ding, and the clansmen looked at him a little more strangely.The rest of the Riding Sun tribe intentionally or unintentionally kept a distance from the Riding family.As if it was a disease, they were all afraid of being infected.

Ri Ding didn't take this seriously, instead, he ran to Boss Mo's house happily because of the fresh "thaumaturgy", and humbly asked Zheng Xiu about the mystery of "thaumaturgy".

The "strange things" on Riding made Ridi unable to bear it. On the No. 20 day after the war, he killed pigs and sheep, climbed up the Sunset Mountain, and chose noon when the sun was the most violent in front of those murals. Worship the "hot sun" and pray for peace.

January after the war.

someday.

"Someone is coming! Someone is coming!"

Ri Ding, who was in charge of guarding at the mouth of the east side of Ri Chan Valley, saw a group of figures appearing in the depths of the desert from afar.Surprised, several vertical jumps quickly climbed down from hundreds of long peaks, and their movements were as flexible as a monkey.

Someone is coming from the east!
Across the desert!

It didn't take long for the news to spread throughout the tribe.In the whole month of anxious vigilance, the sun and the earth, who were like a frightened bird, were so shocked that they were fully armed and led the masters of the clan to the east Taniguchi.

After a month of suffering, the patriarch Ridi lost a lot of hair, his eye sockets were sunken, and he was extremely haggard.

Ridi first ordered people not to relax their vigilance in the west, and led people to the east to set up a bow array and wait.

Now no matter where the people came from, Hiji didn't dare to take it lightly.

It didn't take long for Zheng Xiu and Xie Luohe to hear about it.When Zheng Xiu heard that it was someone from the direction of the desert, he was puzzled.He was resting and recuperating, patted Xie Luohe who was holding the cat and basking in the sun with squinted eyes, said something, and walked towards the entrance of the east side of Sun Cicada Valley alone.

When I came to the valley mouth and waited, there were many archers crouching on the plank roads on both sides of the valley.Zheng Xiu stared into the distance, looking towards the desert.Sure enough, just as the hearsay said, there were shadows in the depths of the desert. I don't know where people and horses crossed the desert after many years. No wonder Rang Ridi was so careful.

After a while.As the chariots and horses approached, the first to bear the brunt were tattered flags.The flags were flying, and one of the well-preserved flags had a big "Wu" written on it.

"It's the imperial court!"

On the valley, Ridi's eyes were fixed, and he said in surprise.For many years, although Richan Valley belongs to the territory of Dagan, the environment here is harsh and has long been out of the control of the imperial court.Now that the court is coming, I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse, which makes Ridi even more worried.

Court?

Different from Ridi's reaction, Zheng Xiu vaguely saw a conspicuous bald head among the team.The bright reflection is particularly dazzling under the scorching sun.

"Don't be nervous! It may be one of our own!"

People flying the banner of the Shenwu Army arrived at Sun Cicada Valley.

More than a hundred people rode on camels, dressed in heat-insulating cloaks, and traveled all over the place.

The first camel has a refined iron helmet hanging on the saddlebag.

"Thank you Yunliu!"

"My good brother-in-law!"

The two recognized each other from a distance and waved to each other.With a long roar, Xie Yunliu jumped off the camel, touched the yellow sand with his feet, and came to Zheng Xiu in a blink of an eye, hugging Zheng Xiu heavily.

Bang bang bang!
Xie Yunliu laughed and patted Zheng Xiu's back with a heroic demeanor: "Good brother-in-law! You are still alive!"

"Alive! Of course I'm alive!" After seeing Xie Yunliu again after a long absence, Zheng Xiu was very happy.But he quickly asked again: "Monk?"

"Fart monk! I'm a general! I just got promoted, and now I'm appointed as 'General Pingxi' by the emperor. When I walk in the court, anyone who sees me has to respectfully call me 'Thank you general'! Brother-in-law, you always It's unlucky to be called a 'monk monk'!"

Xie Yunliu complained, but the smile on his face remained undiminished, as if he was not angry.However, he didn't know the true meaning of Zheng Xiu's question. Hearing this, Zheng Xiu shook his head helplessly, secretly thinking that the monk's illness was still not cured.

"General Xie? Yunliu Temple?"

Memories of ten years ago came to mind, and Zheng Xiu subconsciously muttered these two names.At this time, a soft and cold voice came from behind the army, interrupting Zheng Xiu's thinking.

"Hehe, you have been hiding here for ten years, a whole ten years! The governor has had a hard time looking for you!"

Surrounded by an army of hundreds of people, a luxuriously dressed man who looked calm even after crossing the desert slowly took off the delicate hat with a veil, revealing that handsome face that looked exactly like Xie Yunliu.

"Fan Yao!"

Zheng Xiu was shocked, his face became serious, and he touched his waist.

"Ben Du, Lou Mengkong." Fan Yao said indifferently, he did not admit his real name in front of others.

Meeting Fan Yao again, the atmosphere in Guqian was tense for a while.

Xie Yunliu scratched his head: "It's a strange thing to say. This guy looks very similar to Lao Tzu, but other people always say that we are clearly two different people. Brother-in-law, do you think it's strange or not?"

Zheng Xiu ignored Xie Yunliu, he stared fixedly at Fan Yao, wondering why Fan Yao would appear here in the desert.He remained motionless, waiting for Xie Yunliu to explain.

"Go in and talk! Go in and talk!"

Xie Yunliu waved excitedly to everyone in the valley as if he had returned to his own home.Many people in the Lie Sun tribe recognized Xie Yunliu. After the shock, the tribe looked at each other in dismay, and put down their longbows one after another, the atmosphere eased.

Zheng Xiu twirled his beard, remained silent for a while, nodded, showing a meaningful smile, and said, "Okay. You all come from afar, please move to Mohexuan."

Zheng Xiu graciously made a "please" gesture to Shenwujun and his party.

The exhaustion and pain on the faces of every soldier of the Shenwu Army are clearly visible. Even after arriving at Richan Valley, there is no joy on their faces for the rest of their lives.

"How many died?"

Walking ahead, Zheng Xiu asked.

Xie Yunliu's face darkened, and he lowered his voice, a little low: "Ninety percent." His previously pretended relaxation was gone, and he scratched his head vigorously: "It's all my fault!"

Zheng Xiu sighed softly and patted Xie Yunliu on the shoulder.

A group of people followed Zheng Xiu into the valley, and on the plank road, the residents of the desert retreated in an orderly and silent manner.

Fan Yao looked up and watched the scene. When Xie Yunliu and Zheng Xiu were whispering, Fan Yao suddenly said: "It seems that you have had a good ten years." Fan Yao used "you", obviously he knew that Xie Luohe also here.

"Thanks to you."

"Don't want to go back?" Fan Yao said.

Others only thought that Fan Yao was talking about "Central Plains", but Zheng Xiu knew where Fan Yao was talking about.

Zheng Xiu didn't answer, Fan Yao quickly said sadly: "I can't go back."

After a cup of tea.

Several people gathered at Mohexuan.

Outside the Mohe Pavilion, there were more than ten long tables. The soldiers held their weapons, drank enough water, and fell asleep in the shade. something.For ordinary soldiers who have never crossed the yellow sand, whether it is high temperature or drought, crossing the desert is not an easy task.

Zheng Xiu, Xie Yunliu, and Fan Yao stood in a three-legged pose, sitting quietly with tea on the table.

When Xie Luohe heard that his elder brother was coming, he rushed to Mohexuan happily.Unexpectedly, when he saw two identical faces, most of his hips were filled with joy.It's just that the events of ten years ago have already become clouds and smoke, and it is difficult for Xie Luohe to generate killing intent for a while.Now she was sitting lazily on the counter, watching the two and a half men sitting quietly, gently stroking Xiao Fengmiao's soft hair, and did not go forward to chat with Xie Yunliu.

"Hehe." It was Fan Yao who finally broke the silence, and he smiled sinisterly: "There is no need to be nervous, I will come here when I am ordered, and I have a life in my life." As he spoke, he pressed a rolled up military order on the table , smiled at Zheng Xiu and spread his hands, indicating that Zheng Xiu can open and watch at will.

Zheng Xiu was not polite, opened it and took a look.

It is indeed a military order that has sealed the emperor's jade seal.In a few words, the above stated a fact.Xie Yunliu is now exceptionally promoted to "General Pingxi", and his rank is only lower than the generals of the four major towns, which can be said to be glorious.Fan Yao, on the other hand, traveled westward with the army as a "supervisor".

After Zheng Xiu finished reading, he suddenly burst into anger, and ruthlessly tore up the general's order: "1000 people! 1000 people! Just send 1000 people of you across the desert to come to Sun Cicada Valley to defend the territory? Absurd! Absurd! Damn! Did the emperor send you to die?"

It turned out that at some point, the news that the northern barbarians and the 36 countries in the Western Regions joined forces to invade the Dagan Dynasty had already spread in the Central Plains.When the new emperor took office, upon learning of this, he immediately appointed Xie Yunliu to take office, saying that he wanted to guard the west of the desert and not let the coalition forces of the 36 countries in the Western Regions cross the desert.

The war in the north was tight, and these 1000 people were even made up from various armies or the front line.Now that he walked through the desert, there were only a hundred people left in the 1000-person configuration. Xie Yunliu suffered this setback when he became a real general for the first time. One can imagine his mood.

"wrong."

After the anger passed, Zheng Xiu suddenly calmed down, and he glanced at Fan Yao.

Suddenly, Xie Luohe seemed to have a tacit understanding with Zheng Xiu, and with lightning speed, he took out a long bow from under the table, put an arrow on the bow, and pointed at Fan Yao silently.

For a moment, the silence in Mo He Xuan was terrifying.Xie Luohe's killing intent was as real as it was, even if Zheng Xiu moved her finger a little bit, she would shoot Fan Yao to death without hesitation.

"Smart." Fan Yao calmly drank the tea in his cup.Being pointed at by Xie Luohe's arrow, his expression didn't change at all.He said with emotion: "Gongsun Mo, I'm really curious about who you really are."

Zheng Xiu stood up and said calmly, "You may not have a chance to find out."

"Yes, we have no chance." Fan Yao said with a smile: "I didn't intend to hide it."

Xie Yunliu didn't react, thinking that Zheng Xiu and his old sister were still remembering the enmity they had ten years ago, so they set the table here.

Under Zheng Xiu's gaze, Fan Yao reached into her bosom, took out another small scroll, and pressed it on the table.Xie Yunliu was taken aback for a moment, then quickly picked it up and opened it in front of several people.Gradually his face changed a few times, and finally turned blue and purple.

Fan Yao explained with a smile: "It is nonsense to try to cross the desert with a mere 1000 people and block the 36 countries of the Western Regions in the west of the desert. Even if Xie Yunliu knows the Green River trade route, it is still a loss of nine. Success. There is no green river secret road, no army can safely cross the desert."

"So," Xie Luohe also understood, and said in a cold voice: "As a warlord, you are not really to urge the army to fight against the 36 countries in the Western Regions, but...to ensure that the secret of the Green River Commercial Road disappears completely. As long as no one knows Green River Trade Road, no matter how many troops from the 36 countries in the Western Regions come, they will all die in the desert."

"Yes," Fan Yao smiled and sighed, the more he laughed, the louder he said, "This is the secret factory. This is my Fan Yao, in the name of Lou Mengkong, my ridiculous life in this world!"

Fan Rumors imply that he and Xie Yunliu took the name of emperor and traveled across the desert westward regardless of everything, not to resist the invasion of the frontier.It's for the sake of killing all the people in Richan Valley here, and keeping the secrets away!
This is the true meaning of the secret factory.

Xie Yunliu glared angrily, tore up Fan Yao's secret decree, threw it on the ground, and stomped on it vigorously. He sat back on the ground, his eyes unfocused, and sneered at himself, "General Pingxi? Hey! What a General Pingxi! Thank you!" General! Hehehe! Thank you, General!"

"Sure enough." Zheng Xiu sensed the emperor's true intentions when he knew that only 1000 people wanted to complete the task of guarding the frontier.There was no surprise on his face.He waved his hand at his wife, Xie Luohe put down his longbow, his face was calm, and he continued to tease Xiaofeng.

After a moment of silence, Zheng Xiu said, "It's too late."

Fan Yao was startled: "Too late?"

Zheng Xiu nodded: "It's late."

Fan Yao was silent and poured himself a cup of tea.

"It's okay to be late."

Fan Yao said expressionlessly, raising her teacup.

The three toast.

"Fuck the dog emperor."

The three said at the same time, and drank the tea in their cups in one gulp.

　Ask for a monthly pass!
