Chapter 564: The Extra Story of Flowers on the Road Begins (Part )

It's still chilly in spring and the cold has not yet dissipated.

When the north wind howls, it is like the roar of an angry dragon.

There have been several fights on the Kutong Mountain trail.

There were many corpses left on the ground, and blood was flowing on the land, soaking the soil. Only one-third of the remaining soldiers who had been hiding were left.

The elegant young man in the lead said angrily: "Damn Qin soldiers, you have already cut off my thousand-year-old family. Do you really want to kill all of us for those lowly people?!"

"That family has been my family's slaves for generations."

"The bond is in place, but the Emperor Qin refuses to acknowledge it?!"

The general of the Qilin Army laughed loudly: "You idiot, you want to use the contract of the State of Chen to restrain the founding emperor of the Great Qin?"

"Your Majesty has conquered the world with his military prowess, and for ten years he has brought peace to all quarters."

"Although this is destiny, it is also human power. Who are you to let His Majesty's rules give way to your so-called pledge? You drank too much horse urine, and you still haven't woken up yet?"

This general's mouth is like a knife.

How could the young man on the other side compete with him? He was so angry that his face turned red and his fingers trembled:

"In the history books for thousands of years, it will be said that you value villains and stay away from virtuous people!"

Before he could finish his words, an arrow flew towards him, with a flash of light, and passed through the man's mouth. The arrow was so powerful that it went straight through his skull and nailed into the mountains behind, causing him to scream.

A young general put down his bow and said in a calm voice, "I don't want to talk to you any more."

"Where did this dog come from? It's barking and disturbing the peace."

"You're a human trafficker, and you still have the nerve to say that?"

"Fuck, doesn't he know that my Qilin Army is unrivaled in archery?"

There was an old man who looked kind and benevolent, and he said angrily:

"That was in the past. We didn't do this kind of business a long time ago. Can't you just let it go? We have completely changed our ways and have made a clean break with the past!"

The general seemed to be thinking about something, and said with a casual smile:

“The mistakes of my past have nothing to do with my present self.”

"Oh, I see. I agree."

The old man was feeling surprised and happy, but suddenly he heard the sound of a bowstring. Then his daughter next to him screamed and followed in his son's footsteps. She was nailed through the heart and died instantly.

The general said casually and innocently:

"I just killed him. It has nothing to do with me now."

The old man embraced his children, stunned for a moment, then sadness surged up, grief and anger, tears streaming down his face: "You, why can't you give me a way to live? We have given up all our family background and gold and silver, isn't it enough, isn't it enough?!"

"Didn't they say that if you put down your butcher knife, you will become a Buddha instantly?!"

The general replied in confusion: "Am I not helping you to become Buddhas?"

"You're such a weird person."

"They keep saying that if you put down your butcher knife, you will become a Buddha instantly."

"You are not happy even if you really become a Buddha."

The old man was filled with grief and indignation, and was almost vomiting blood. He just felt that the general's voice was really young, but he didn't know who learned this from.

The tongue is like a poisoned steel blade.

The old man supported his children with one hand, tears streaming down his face, and suddenly shouted: "Since you want to kill us all, you can't blame me for waiting. My sons, take out your weapons, even if you die, you must fight them!"

The surroundings suddenly became noisy.

A group of soldiers and horses had already rushed out. Those in the front were all wearing armor and holding crossbows. The general had his eyebrows slightly drooping. He had already rushed out. He raised his hand and grabbed a heavy halberd made of fine steel.

“I’ve had enough of the red tape.”

"Qilin Army, form a formation."

"The Emperor has ordered that anyone who takes or kills a living person will be killed without mercy!"

Following the momentum of the warhorse, he swung his spear forward suddenly. The energy in his body burst out, and the energy and the power of a thousand elite soldiers gathered behind him. The surrounding waves surged, and then he grasped the halberd in both hands and swept forward suddenly.

hum! ! !
The waves suddenly spun and turned into small whirlpools.

All the crossbow arrows that were shot were blown away by the rolling waves.

The next moment, the general had already charged into the group of defeated soldiers and the once majestic and noble family. When the halberd was swung to the extreme, there seemed to be faint roars of ferocious beasts. After several rounds of fighting, corpses were everywhere.

Even though the opponent also had armor and crossbows, they were no match at all.

These secretly hidden human traffickers used to survive in the shadows of the world. Even if they took advantage of the previous chaos in the world and spent a lot of money to buy mechanical crossbows and armor, how could they compete with the magnificent and domineering Kirin Army that swept across the world.

Most of them were chopped to death on the spot.

The rest were beaten until they lost their ability to resist, and then tied up. What awaited them was an even more severe trial - beheading the evildoers was not enough, they also needed to be sentenced in public and brought to justice, only then could the people's hearts be comforted.

die?
It's really too cheap for them, and too frivolous.

In the Qilin Army, there are methods left by Mr. Hou Zhongyu.

The ability to be unable to live or die is not a small amount.

The old man was beaten to death.

He tried to commit suicide, but both his hands were pierced by nails.

He could only lie there, but he no longer had the kind face and benevolent look he had before. He looked extremely resentful, screaming and cursing: "The Emperor Qin, the Emperor Qin is unjust!!!"

"The Yuan family, dear little man, actually hangs out with those mud-legged people!"

"It won't last long, it won't last long!"

The young general kicked up:
"Fuck you!"

The general kicked the old man over, stepped on his back with his combat boots, grabbed a scroll from his waist, opened it casually, and said, "Zhong Lingyi is from a noble family. His family recommended him to the court more than a hundred years ago. He made many arrangements, and then left the officialdom after the regent of King Shenwu."

"On the surface, you are a wealthy man with thousands of acres of fertile land, but in reality, you are secretly engaged in human trafficking and harming people everywhere. Everything you have and everything you have done has been recorded by Mr. Xiaozhi."

"According to the rules of the Qilin Army, I have to verify your identity first and tell you why you were arrested."

When the old man heard the word "Xiao Zhi", his expression changed several times and finally turned dejected.

There was the sound of horse hooves, and someone came over and said with a smile: "Captain Xue, good trick."

The general was just a lieutenant. He took off his helmet and revealed a face of about twenty years old with a scar on his cheek. His brows were sharp, showing the fierceness that came from fighting on the battlefield. He raised his brows and said, "The Right Prime Minister has already given us the list."

"Sir Right Prime Minister, you can whip the noble families of the world, but even if you use tricks, it will only restrain you for a while. There are still such people."

"He committed a crime, but instead of surrendering himself, he even dared to fight back against us."

The man's name is Shi Yunzhou. He is dressed as a counselor, but he has a sword on his waist. He is a member of the new Qilin Army. Among the thousand-man troops, there must be such a person. This is the legion led by General Fan Qing, the former lieutenant general.

Responsible for the ideological transformation of ordinary prisoners and ensuring that there is no degeneration within the legion. Of course, the captains need to keep a strict watch on them. These strategists are determined, but they are influenced by a purple-eyed strategist who does not want to reveal his name.

Those with ordinary martial arts skills often charge the most fiercely.

Shi Yunzhou said, "After tracking these people for months, we finally got to the bottom of it. However, Captain Xue, you suddenly want to apply for leave. Why?"

This Captain Xue was twenty years old, already a captain of the rank of Zhechou, a rank above the captain but below the general, commanding three thousand soldiers. It was said that he came from a merchant family and had made great contributions in the war to unify the world.

He personally participated in the battle against Yuwen Lie, which had the highest casualty ratio. He crawled out of the pile of dead bodies.

A military officer who obtained his honors through military exploits.

Without the mouth and the poison, there is no problem at all.

Captain Xue touched the scar on his cheek, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he said, "My tigress... No, I mean, my sister."

"We're finally getting married."

"I have completed this expedition and am about to take a break to go home and visit my brother-in-law. This is the gift."

The soldiers were confused.

What kind of woman would give the gift of suppressing bandits and fighting human traffickers?
………………

The Xue family in Guanyi City is quite lively.

In other words, the entire Guanyi City is very lively.

The old shopkeeper of Huichun Hall couldn't help but take a few more glances. There were a large number of motorcades moving forward on the road, with instruments held high in a solemn and majestic manner. Mr. Nan Hanwen, an official from the Ministry of Rites, came in person to deliver gifts.

Naturally, there wouldn't be such rules when ordinary families got married.

Now it is the founding emperor who wants to marry.

This is just the first step in the process, and the six ancient rituals are waiting to be followed.

Nan Hanwen went all the way to Xue's house. Xue Daoyong was in very good spirits, waiting outside in a formal suit. Only a few people knew that the old man had not slept for several days since he knew that His Majesty's procedure had begun.

Suppressed laughter can often be heard in Tingfeng Pavilion.

I heard that this old man has begun to boast that he is the world's biggest gambler.

Even at this moment, he was wearing a robe that was in accordance with etiquette and was meticulous in every detail, but the corners of his mouth kept curling up, and then down, and he couldn't suppress it after several attempts.

It’s like the strength at the corner of his mouth at this moment, even the fierce tiger of troubled times who has been roaming the troubled times for more than a hundred years, the master of the seventh level, cannot suppress it.

It can’t be suppressed. It can’t be suppressed at all.

Mr. Nan Hanwen has a refined taste, so he pretends that he saw nothing.

Greet the guest politely and hand over the invitation.

After a long period of greetings and polite exchanges, he finally accepted the emperor's gift.

These gifts are not formal betrothal gifts.

But Xue Daoyong didn't care about these.

In the inner courtyard of the Xue family.

Xue Shuangtao was wearing a simple blue shirt, with a bamboo flute tied around his waist and his hair tied up with a wooden hairpin. His eyes were still clear, like almond-shaped pupils, and his demeanor was gentle and firm.

Manager Qu was taking measurements for the woman. The woman, who still looked like she was young, smiled with some emotion and said, "More than a decade ago, when His Majesty came to our Xue family as a guest official, I made his clothes."

"I didn't expect that you two would also need me to design the clothes for your wedding."

Manager Qu paused and couldn't help but smile:

"It's quite interesting."

Xue Shuangtao looked at himself in the mirror, reached out his hand and touched his hair, smiling: "This is also what he meant. He said that the first old friend who had something to do with clothes when I met him was Manager Qu, so the wedding dress for this wedding should also be made by Manager Qu himself."

"Even though he is a founding emperor, he still has the bearing of a chivalrous knight. He said that this is a way to have a beginning and an end, and to meet old friends again."

"I just don't know if it will be a bit hard to manage."

Manager Qu was a little embarrassed, but he still smiled: "How could that be?"

"Having this opportunity is something I can tell my children about when I am old. It has a beginning and an end. In my life, I have indirectly participated in this turbulent event."

She whispered:

"Although His Majesty often says that the general trend of the world is that there are countless people like us."

"But I am stupid, and only at this moment do I feel this slight touch."

Xue Shuangtao's fingers gently brushed across the wedding dress, which had a red base and phoenixes embroidered with gold thread. The wedding dresses of emperors and empresses of all dynasties were all made of real gold thread and were extremely luxurious. Xue Shuangtao originally wanted to forget it, but the Emperor Qin was determined.

The Emperor of Qin said confidently: "I have gold!"

Then he took out a jar.

After opening it, there were golden beans inside.

This time, the gold thread on Xue Shuangtao and Li Guanyi's wedding dresses was a little special.

It was more than ten years ago that Xue Shuangtao gave Li Guanyi the golden beads, which were melted with the red dragon's fire and then pulled out into silk threads.

Xue Shuangtao's fingertips gently swept across the golden threads.

The candlelight shone on the golden threads, and in a trance, all the things from the past came to mind. These golden beans were a trace of the beginning of their story.

They met in Guanyi City. It started with an ignorant young lady and a poor, money-hungry pharmacist. Then the story spread. In a trance, it was as if under the firelight, the young lady and the guest gentleman at that time took different paths in the troubled times.

He is a young man who is the leader of a wandering army.

She is the eldest daughter who presides over the Xue Family Chamber of Commerce.

He was Qin Wuhou, who conquered all directions with his military prowess and became famous throughout the world at the age of fourteen.

She was a girl with a clear and bright mind, who led a caravan to contact the Taiping Army in all directions.

This is the unicorn that tramples through the troubled times.

It is the long wind that has been lingering around Qilin for more than ten years.

Wherever the Qilin roars, the wind follows.

Now, the feelings of more than ten years have finally turned into strands of silk in the flames, entwining around the two of them.

It is just like these golden beans turning into golden threads.

Xue Shuangtao had a smile on his face.

There was also envy in Manager Qu's eyes.

They were childhood sweethearts, supporting each other all the way, and still remained deeply in love in the end, which really makes people a little envious.

Just at this moment, there was suddenly a commotion outside.

The maid ran over quickly, her face somewhat panicked as she said, "It's not good, Miss!"

"Something happened outside!"

Xue Shuangtao said calmly, "What's the matter? Don't be anxious, tell me slowly."

The maid told the whole story in a very fast tone.

Xue Shuangtao raised his finger, brows furrowed.

The dignified demeanor of the owner of the first intelligence post in troubled times emerged.

"Walk."
