The Beacon of Kyushu

Chapter 27

The waning moon and lone star, Jiugong Mountain is eerie and eerie.

The hazy moonlight slantly reflects on the ancient trees and dangerous peaks, and you can faintly hear the wolves looking up at the moonlight and howling. There seems to be endless murderous intentions lurking in the darkness. If you make a wrong step, you will be smashed to pieces and lost forever!

Under such circumstances, no one dared to go up the mountain at this time, but at this moment, there happened to be a white horse galloping on the narrow mountain road, like a white lightning, passing by in a flash.The strange thing is that there is a white horse closely following behind this white horse, also kicking like flying.

Ordinary people would never ride their horses uphill in the middle of the night, let alone dare to ride their horses like this. There is only one possibility in the current situation-vendetta!

"Yuwen Yanyi, you traitor, you have the ability to get off the horse and fight to the death!" A girl's shout came from the horse behind, piercing the silent night.

Before the girl could finish her drink, the white horse in front stopped suddenly, and a general in purple robe got off his horse and slowly lowered his sword from his waist.He pointed at the girl on the horse behind, and sneered a few times, which was more chilling than the long howling of wolves.

"Fu Xinying, don't force me to kill you! I've never killed a woman in my life, but if you want to die, I can only kill you! Your brother was indeed killed by me, but he deserves his own fault and deserves to die!" Zipao The general said coldly, and the sword in his hand suddenly came out of its sheath.

Fu Xinying had also reined in the horse at this time, jumped off the horse's back, and pulled out the long sword at her waist the moment she jumped off.She looked at Yuwen Yanyi with a cold snort, and approached step by step. The moonlight shone on the long sword in her hand, and it shone coldly.Fu Xinying held the sword upside down, her eyes were fixed on Yuwen Yanyi, as if she was about to burst into flames, "Since you know it, you dare to kill my brother, kidnap my maid, and pretend to be a hypocrite in front of my father, aren't you afraid of death? "

Yuwen Yanyi squinted at Fu Xinying, with a cruel smile on the corner of her mouth, "Fu Xinying, because of the past love, I don't want to kill you, why do you press so hard! I know you are from the world's largest school, But you are not your master, you can only die if you fight with me, do you really want to die that much!"

Fu Xinying didn't answer, she seemed to have completely lost her patience with Yuwen Yanyi, she jumped forward suddenly, and the long sword in her hand turned into thousands of cold lights, directly attacking Yuwen Yanyi's vitals.Ordinary people would be scared out of their wits when they saw such a fierce swordsmanship, but Yuwen Yanyi laughed.His smile was full of sarcasm, as if he had heard the worst joke in the world.

"Yunlei swordsmanship? This kind of swordsmanship can also kill me?" Yuwen Yanyi sneered, the long sword in his hand suddenly swiped up and down with the sword, and unexpectedly came first, sending out "Dangdang" golden iron in mid-air The sound of sympathy suddenly sparked.

Suddenly, the sound of the two swords clashing stopped, Fu Xinying's sword move was easily dispelled by Yuwen Yanyi, and she stared at Yuwen Yanyi in disbelief.Although Yuwen Yanyi's sword had fallen at this time, it seemed that he hadn't finished using the tricks, and the long sword was suddenly raised upwards, like a dragon coming out of the water.

Seeing this, Fu Xinying hurriedly backed away two or three feet, and then she was able to stabilize her figure. She knew that the gap between herself and Yuwen Yanyi was no less than the gap between herself and her master, and it was even more unmatched by her.

"Fu Xinying, if you give up, this general will spare your life, otherwise you will surely die today!" Yuwen Yanyi's long sword was handy, and he could easily hold back the momentum of such a fierce blow, and the momentum of the upward challenge followed suit. Following his voice, it turned into a straight stab in an instant.

Fu Xinying hurriedly raised her sword to block the stabbing sword edge. She thought that even if she couldn't pull out Yuwen Yanyi's long sword, she could at least resist it for a while.Unexpectedly, the moment the two swords collided, Yuwen Yanyi's long sword pierced through Fu Xinying's body without any effort, and pointed straight at her chest.

"Yuwen Yanyi, you are a man or a ghost!" Fu Xinying's pupils shrank suddenly, her face was filled with panic, and her sword hand was shaking constantly.At this moment, if she wants to swing the sword again, it is as difficult as reaching the sky. Even the simple movement of abandoning the sword and leaping back seems to be extremely difficult.

Yuwen Yanyi could have easily killed Fu Xinying, but at this time, whether he couldn't bear to kill Fu Xinying, or was not in a hurry to kill Fu Xinying, no one knew except himself.He threw the long sword out of Fu Xinying's hand with a single stroke of his sword, allowing her long sword to pierce through the ancient wood around her, and nail it straight into the extremely hard rock.

"Traitor! Why didn't you kill me with a single sword?" Fu Xinying stared at Yuwen Yanyi, her eyes were cracked, and blood was dripping down her cheeks, which made it hard to look at!Immediately, an ominous premonition rose in her heart, and her hands trembled more and more.

Yuwen Yanyi held the long sword upside down, and looked at Fu Xinying coldly and arrogantly, showing a condescending attitude, "Fu Xinying, without the sword, it is as if you have lost your life. You are about to become a dead person, but before you die, I will I want to tell you a story."

"Yuwen Yanyi! Either let me go, or kill me with one sword!" Fu Xinying shouted angrily, covering her ears with both hands, unwilling to listen to Yuwen Yanyi's words anymore.

"Fu Xinying, maybe you think I'm a demon, and I should be hacked into pieces, but after listening to this story, you'll understand who deserves to die!" Yuwen Yanyi said coldly, looking straight at me. Fu Xinying's eyes seemed to see her soul through her eyes.

Fu Xinying didn't know whether she was overwhelmed by his words, or she couldn't overcome her strong curiosity, so she slowly put down her hands covering her ears.She looked at Yuwen Yanyi's eyes, besides the resentment and resentment, there was actually a little more incomprehension.

"Have you heard of Murong Yanyun, the Emperor of Great Yan in the past?" Yuwen Yanyi asked slowly, with a tone of admiration, resentment, or both.

Fu Xinying nodded blankly, and asked: "What does the hatred between us have to do with the traitor of the Yan Kingdom? No matter how heinous he is, what does he have to do with our Fu family? Yuwen Yanyi, if you want to kill him, kill him!" , stop talking nonsense!"

"Traitor?" Yuwen Yanyi laughed again, this time it was not a sneer, but a wry smile. He sighed a long time, and said slowly: "Back then when the warlords were divided and the lives were ruined, who was just? Who was really single-minded? For the sake of the people? Since ancient times, the kings and bandits have been defeated. Later, Song State, which your Fu family served for, won and became orthodox. And the people of Yan State who were defeated were insulted by you as traitors. If the final victory belongs to Yan State, then what are you? "

Fu Xinying was speechless, she was silent for a while before she said: "Maybe what you said is right, could this be the reason for you to kill people? Just because Da Song identified the people of Yan Kingdom as traitors, you can't see it and want to replace them Revenge?"

"No, it's just that this story must start from the time when Yan Kingdom fell." At this time, Yuwen Yanyi looked at the night sky with his eyes, and the past happened one after another. Tears flashed in his eyes inexplicably, and his voice became soft, "Then It happened 15 years ago. When I was young, I often caught butterflies in front of my house. Butterflies flew too fast and too high. Very handsome, a big brother with a sword on his waist got off the horse, walked up to me, and helped me catch the butterfly as soon as he stretched out his hand. Strange to say, the butterfly was motionless in his palm, as if asleep. I I stretched out my hand to pick it up, but the butterfly suddenly flew away and flew into the air. My elder brother told me that this place was called Yan Huiyuan, and it was his home. When I was young, I often caught butterflies in front of the door. My father invited them when he knew about it. He stayed in my house for many days, until one night the big brother with the sword left the manor, and he didn't know where he went. When everyone brought him back the next day, he was already dying!"

Fu Xinying seemed to have forgotten both hatred and fear at this moment, and subconsciously asked, "Who is the big brother with the sword? What happened to him? Was he cured later?"

Yuwen Yanyi shook his head, "Later he died of illness at my home, and everyone buried him on a hill not far from my home. The uncle in brown clothes who came with me, although his martial arts are not as good as his elder brother, he has already mastered the world. So at my father's suggestion, I worshiped him as my master. Not long after, the master returned to the Liao country, and I followed him to the Liao country. Although the days were bitter and tiring, they were simple and happy. There was no intrigue, There was no struggle for power, let alone blood and rain, that was the most carefree time I lived. Until one night, I got a piece of news, a piece of news that made me completely embark on the road of revenge."

Fu Xinying asked, "What's the news?"

Yuwen Yanyi was not in a hurry to answer, and two lines of cold tears flowed from his eyes. He wiped away the tears and continued: "Yes, something happened in my family! My parents, my relatives, and the servants who served me since childhood were all killed by the government. The crime was actually harboring a traitor! The elder brother with the sword was actually the traitor Murong Yanyun in the Song population. Just because we took him in for a few days, the local dog officer killed my family on the charge of harboring a traitor. Dozens of bites. Now you just lost your brother, and you want to take revenge like crazy, but do you know how I survived it!"

There was a trace of pity in Fu Xinying's eyes, but it was replaced by anger immediately, and she shouted angrily: "What does it have to do with me! What does it have to do with our Fu family! Just because your family is ruined, you want to destroy other people's homes !"

Yuwen Yanyi asked back: "Have you heard of Liu Yu?"

Fu Xinying nodded, "Of course! He used to be my father's beloved general and my brother-in-law. After Zhou Shizong passed away, my father was once demoted, and after the Taizu passed away, my father was promoted secretly. If it hadn't been for the righteous brother who had repeatedly made great achievements, known how to repay his kindness, and recommended my father in front of the Holy One many times, I am afraid that our family would never have a bright future. It is a pity that he died in the hands of a master of the Liao Kingdom..."

As she spoke, she seemed to suddenly think of something, and she let out a scream. She pointed at Yuwen Yanyi tremblingly, and asked, "You said that you once studied under the Liao Kingdom. Could it be that you were the master of the Liao Kingdom who killed my righteous brother!"

"Hahaha!" Yuwen Yanyi sneered triumphantly, "That's right, I was the master of the Liao Kingdom who killed him, but he deserves to die! Because he was the one who killed the good and took the meritorious deeds back then. Without him, our family would not be perfect." You will die, and your Fu clan will also decline with the death of Taizu! You Fu clan stepped on the bones of our Yuwen family to get to today, climbed up to such a prominent position again, and continued to enjoy Your splendor and wealth! My story is over, do you still think I am the one who should be damned?"

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible, it must be something you made up!" Fu Xinying yelled hysterically, desperately denying everything Yuwen Yanyi said, she did not want to believe that this evil and bloody past was true , it seems that only in this way can you deceive yourself.

Yuwen Yanyi sneered and said: "No matter how loud you shout, it's useless. It can neither bring my family back to life, nor prevent me from taking revenge! You can only deceive yourself and others, which will only increase your fear!"

Fu Xinying seemed to have gone crazy, she knelt down in front of Yuwen Yanyi, kept kowtowing, her forehead was bleeding, and shouted, "Don't say it! Don't say it anymore! I beg you, these are all done by my brother-in-law. Yes, it has nothing to do with our Fu family, my father didn’t know about it, he is innocent! He was the one who promoted you to your current position, and he also taught you horse-handling skills. Without him, you are nothing now!”

"He's innocent? Isn't my family innocent? At the beginning, I didn't even know who Murong Yanyun was, and the whole family died because of it, and your brother-in-law killed him just to curry favor with your father. If you If my father can stop me with words, will everything still be the result of today? Also, what is your current position? My current position is to go to the deserted Yongzhou to be a small general for Zhao Pu’s brother-in-law! If he really If you think about the relationship between father and son, you shouldn't send people to kill me again and again. If you think about the relationship between brother and sister, you shouldn't intercept my pond report and try to put me to death. If there is an injustice, there is a debtor, I thought You only killed Liu Yu, you insisted on courting death, can you blame me for that!"

"You...I..." Fu Xinying was rendered speechless by Yuwen Yanyi's words, and she knew that no matter how she refuted, she would appear powerless.Now that the big mistake has been made, it is difficult for even a god to make up for it, not to mention that I am just an ordinary mortal.

For a while, Fu Xinying looked at Yuwen Yanyi, and said in a word: "You kill me." Her expression was very calm, so calm that she had put her own life and death aside, it seemed that only death could prevent her from looking directly at the past. In the past, don't distinguish between good and evil, black and white.

Yuwen Yanyi let out a helpless sigh, and then his eyes became extremely dark, "I know a woman can't bear this, so I'll help you out!" As he spoke, he approached Fu Xinying step by step, the long sword in his hand flashed coldly, It pierced through Fu Xinying's throat, blood spurted out, the fragrance disappeared, and the jade died, and it went straight to Jiuxiao.

At this moment, the wolves seemed to smell the smell of blood, and slowly gathered from all around.Long howls came and went, resounding throughout Jiugong Mountain.Yuwen Yanyi got on the horse, with a complicated expression on her face, her gaze swept over Fu Xinying's body indifferently, then rode the horse westward, and disappeared into the dark night in a blink of an eye.
