Mu Tian was clearly awake, but he couldn't move. Even his fingers were extremely stiff and clung to the seam of his trousers, like a soldier being inspected.
Mu Tian stood upright and sank to the bottom of the tank. The surrounding water restrained him softly and powerfully, and was cold to the bone.
However, the water is still water, so why does it feel like ice?!
He seemed to be frozen in a vat.
Is this a tank?
This is a deep pool, just like his dream last night!
"Huang Laoxie, what are you doing? I have no enmity with you in the past life and there will be no injustice in the future. How can you do this to me? You keep calling me "young master", "young master", so you are waiting for me here!
"Mu Tian saw Huang Zunyi in his mind. He had sat down cross-legged on the edge of the vat, as if in trance.
"Young Master, we have a lot of connections." Huang Zunyi's voice came from a very far away place, like a sound transmission in an empty valley, and went straight into Mu Tian's mind.
It's so weird, I didn't say anything.
Mu Tian thought about it and called this old boy "Huang Laoxie" later, that was it.
Evil door.
The water around him continued to squeeze, and Mu Tian felt his bones make a "rattling" sound, and he was squeezed into a light spot.
In the light spot is Huang Zunzi sitting cross-legged.
Points of light illuminate the black water, forming a thick halo.
A middle-aged man with a beautiful beard appeared in the halo. The clanging sounds of weapons around him continued.
"Malan Mountain," Huang Zunyi's voice came out, "In the hinterland of Lingnan, for thousands of years, an ancient remnant has been living and multiplying here. It is said that they are Chi You's tribe.
"Chiyou was defeated by Yanhuang and moved south with his tribe. A tribe called 'Falcon' was left here and has been thriving here for thousands of years. Its last leader was called Mu Di, an upright man.
, a brave, fair, kind and diligent person.
"He is your grandfather."
"Wow, weird things happen every year, and there are so many this year. And a grandfather appears out of thin air? Ha, okay. But although this grandfather is a boss, he means the boss of the party. But it doesn't sound like he's doing very well.
Like, Mu Di, the name is all rustic. Hey, isn't he just a cowherd boy?" Mu Tian could see light spots flickering, which should be his own thoughts.
"You are wrong, young master. It is the purest form of cleaning."
"That's amazing, Huang Laoxie. You actually know what I'm thinking?"
"Well. Your grandfather was a peace-loving man, and he led the people of Malan Mountain's Falcon to live a prosperous and prosperous life. Although there were government servants who came to cause trouble from time to time, the taxes of Malan Mountain were never the same.
I paid less. Because of this, the officers couldn't make any big waves and just paid a little money. Therefore, Malanshan and the government have always been at peace with each other and formed a unified system. However, the government has coveted Malanshan for a long time.
I have long wanted to eradicate it.
"Do you know that more than thirty years ago, before the Gengzi Year, a woman from out of town came to Malan Mountain. Her name was Gu Jin, and she was a fashionable woman who had studied abroad. Mu Di met Gu Jin who was lost at the mountain pass.
It was love at first sight. The two fell in love instantly.
"This must be my grandmother. That's what the books say." Mu Tian thought to himself, "Hey, you really are there, you Huang Laoxie! Just go ahead and see how you can come back to your senses."
"With love, there is power." Huang Laoxie ignored Mu Tian's interruption this time and just continued along his own train of thought.
"The leader, Mu Di, was more diligent, and Malan Mountain became more prosperous under his management. His reputation was heard in all directions, and for a time it was unparalleled. It attracted people from all over the world to come to study and inspect, and even the foreign devils who ran the "National League" also organized a group inspection.
"Who else has the government coveted for a long time? So he gathered troops from far and near, secretly controlled, and attacked repeatedly. Gu Jin was also a hero among women, assisting her husband Mu Di and leading the tribe to fight against the enemy. She was also very strategic and won many battles.
"The government was angry and vowed to remove this thorn in the side. Sui planned to mobilize troops from the five surrounding provinces to destroy Malan Mountain and then quickly.
The "Falcon" family in Malan Mountain has a long history, but they have always adhered to the instructions of their ancestors and did not marry with foreign races. Although the purity of the bloodline has been guaranteed, the number of people has not been large. Up to this point, counting the old and weak, women and children, there are only ten thousand people.
"With only ten thousand people, including the old, weak, women and children, resisting tens of thousands of officers and soldiers is like throwing an egg against a stone. Even if Gu Jin is brave and resourceful, he advises Mu Di to rebel. To live under oppression,
They are no different from pigs and dogs! At this time, there was an official Chen Jiming in Zhangzhou in central Fujian, who served as a pastor and governed the area. It was also prosperous, which means that the westward expansion and the eastward expansion of Malan Mountain are connected.
"But Zhangzhou was facing the same situation as Malanshan, and was not tolerated by the government. It was windy and rainy, and it was difficult to move forward. At this time, Gu Jin came to discuss a joint strategy to defend against the enemy.
"Who do you think Gu Jin is? She is Chen Jiming's niece. The two of us hit it off immediately.
"At that time, my subordinate was Chen Gong's chamberlain. He was young and weak. But he was Chen Gong's confidant, so he was assigned as a special liaison officer. He followed Gu Jin back to Malan Mountain to do some collaborative work.
"At this time, Mr. Zi Buyu, who studied in Japan and the United States together with Gu Jin, gathered a group of colleagues to stage an event in Huilai near Malan Mountain. He also reached an agreement with Shimen Muqiu to provide weapons, and invited
Gu Jin conspired together.
"Gu Jin discussed with Mu Di and passed the message to Chen Jiming. Chen Jiming originally attended a military academy in Germany. Seeing the support of Shimen's light and heavy weapons, he expected it to be successful. He had the best of both worlds, both in taking action and resisting the enemy, and he could promote his own ideas. How could it be possible?
Aren't you happy? Everything is ready at once."
"Bird! This thing will definitely not happen! Storytellers say so. Once they say that everything is ready, they will definitely turn around and tell you that the east wind has not yet come, and the ending will be terrible." Mu Tian has listened to many books, and he has experience in this.
, although I heard it from hearing, but experience is always experience. Just think about it.
as expected.
"There are unforeseen circumstances." Huang Zunqi's voice was a little low.
"Let's begin." Mu Tian's body was still sealed by the water, but he couldn't stop the ridicule in his head.
"Someone leaked the news, and the government troops launched an attack in advance. They also knew the intentions of Malan Mountain and Zhangzhou clearly. The government troops first sent tens of thousands of troops to lock the rescue road from Zhangzhou to Malan Mountain, and attacked with heavy troops
Malan Mountain.
"What's even more despicable is that Shimen betrayed his trust and gave all the promised light and heavy weapons to the army. Poor Malanshan "Falcon" clan, who persisted in fighting for hundreds of days when reinforcements were blocked and lacked guns and ammunition.
Together with the women and children, they were all killed. When Chen Jiming's army broke through the blockade and arrived, they saw corpses strewn across the field and rivers of blood. The leader and Gu Jin fled to Hong Kong to escape the disaster under the admonition and protection of the guards.
"As messengers, my subordinates also swear to defend the leader to the death."
"Alas," Mu Tian's heart surged when he heard it, but he was helpless because the surroundings were bone-chilling and there was no feeling of warmth at all. "This will have to be decomposed next time."
After all, I have listened to too many books.
"Thanks to Chen Jiming who helped me, my life in Hong Kong was pretty good. But my family was exterminated, and I was depressed. Mu Di closed the door all day long to thank guests, and learned from the pain.
"The reversal has come again." Mu Tian's mind felt partially enlightened, and he couldn't help but start prophesying again.
"Suddenly one day, the guards reported that there was a person who wanted to see him, and his name was Shimen Muqiu.
"When Mu Di heard this, he felt angry and evil in his heart. He immediately drew his sword and went out, intending to kill the Japanese in front of his door as a sacrifice to his own people. Even Gu Jin could not persuade him.
"However, when he rushed out of the door, he saw Shimen Muqiu kneeling on the ground with a bunch of flowers tied up, and a thorn stuck in his back. When he saw Mu Yi come out, he howled twice, and then he killed her by grabbing his neck.
"As soon as he heard the sound of 'clang', the knife in Mu Di's hand fell to the ground instantly. He stepped forward to help Shimen Muqiu up, and went into the house to serve tea. The kindness of the leader was evident.
"The matter of weapons was originally negotiated and finalized by Mr. Zi Buyu and Mr. Mu Di together with Shimen Muqiu and his boss Fujimoto Gen. At that time, his subordinates were just followers. Although Zi Buyu was the supreme commander in Huilai's actions, he was also known as the supreme commander.
He came to take command in person, but after all, he stayed on the large merchant ship and never landed, just like watching the fire from the other side. But when he learned the telegram from Shimen that he could not deliver weapons as promised, he was unable to do anything. He allowed the Malanshan people to be slaughtered.
"Mu Di knew full well that he was not the culprit, so he advised Shimen, who wanted to retaliate with death, not to be so obsessed. After a few cups of tea, he sent Shimen Muqiu and his entourage away."
"This is not over yet." Although Mu Tian felt that his whole body was getting colder and colder, as if he was in liquid nitrogen in his previous life, he still couldn't help thinking jokingly, "Ha, this is a long story that a child can tell without a mother.
”.
"For a period of time after that, Shimen often visited in the name of Zhou Ji. He also invited Mu Di to go out for entertainment. It is said that they were all like-minded people with lofty ideals who had failed to avoid trouble in Hong Kong under Mr. Zi Buyu several times. They also discussed how to carry out the incident again.
A matter of revenge.
"One day after attending Shimen's banquet, Mu Di's temperament changed drastically. He insisted on sending Gu Jin and his daughter to California, the United States. Mr. Zi Buyu's eldest brother has a large farm in California. He has agreed to take Gu Jin in.
Mother and daughter. Your mother was only five years old at that time. Her name was Yun'er. She was smart and lovely.
"The next day, when Mu Di saw the cruise ship carrying his wife and children leaving Victoria Harbor, he asked everyone to go down to Shimen Muqiu Mansion and send a message, inviting friends from Shimen to come to the house for a drink.
"On that day, before it became dark, the leader put incense on the memorial tablet of his tribe and stood it in the center of the inner hall without saying a word.
"Not long after, Shimen arrived with three followers. The subordinates led him inside.
"Shimen just bowed his hands in worship, but unexpectedly there was a flash of cold light, the knife rose and fell, four heads fell to the ground instantly, blood spurted out, staining the entire ground red."
