The shop owner, who endured it again and again, finally couldn't hold it back and asked, "How did you make peace with Qingshuishan?"
Chen Chao glanced at the shop owner weakly, shook his head, and said softly: "There will be no more Qingshui Mountain from now on."
Chen Chao said this calmly, but the shop owner looked at the young martial artist in front of him with horror on his face, "What do you mean there will never be Qingshui Mountain again?!"
Chen Chao did not hide it and said bluntly: "If I were not afraid that she would not be able to survive after her death, I would have brought back the head of Master Tianyi."
This sentence made the shop owner feel like he was struck by lightning.
Previously, Chen Chao said that he was going to go up the mountain to kill people, but according to the shop owner, the best outcome was actually for Chen Chao to go up the mountain and kill a few monks from other places, so that the Qingshui Mountain monks could settle the matter, but they never expected that Chen Chao would actually go up that night.
What they are doing is to exterminate the family, but a Qingshui Mountain has been deeply rooted in Qingshui County for many years, and Chen Chao alone can uproot it?
The shop owner didn't quite believe this.
But looking at the young man in front of him, he felt like he was lying.
Chen Chao exhaled a breath and said softly to the little girl's body: "No more children from Qingshui County will be made into so-called medicinal fruits."
The shop owner took two steps back in disbelief and murmured: "It's really done!"
Chen Chao ignored the shop owner and just wanted to pick up the little girl's body and leave.
The shop owner suddenly knelt down to Chen Chao solemnly and kowtowed heavily, "Confucian scholar Yang Yan, I would like to thank my Taoist friend on behalf of the people of Qingshui County."
Chen Chao shook his head and said softly: "Actually, it should be considered a matter of responsibility. If you live like this, I am the one who should apologize."
The shop owner was startled, then thought of the identity of this young warrior, and asked in shock: "Is your fellow Taoist a military attache of the imperial court?"
Thinking about it, it should be so. If it were not for the military attache of the imperial court, at this age, I am afraid that he would never be able to destroy Qingshui Mountain.
Chen Chao helped him up and nodded without any concealment: "I work as an errand in the Shendu Yamen."
The shop owner sighed. He actually understood the difficulties faced by the court. In such a large Liang Dynasty, countless monks from outside the country did not regard human life as human life, but the court still had to face the southern invasion of the monster clan from the north. With the world like this, it was no longer easy.
But who doesn’t want to really have a peaceful world?
Chen Chao was not going to say anything more and said goodbye to the shop owner.
The shop owner said: "You don't have to be obsessed with inner demons. You are ashamed of this little girl, but you saved the people of Qingshui County."
Chen Chao shook his head and said, "It's not the same thing."
"How can one person compare with the people of a county?"
The shop owner is trying to make Chen Chao think about it and stop being affected by his inner demons.
Chen Chao said: "There is no difference, this is not a multiple choice question."
The shop owner sighed and said no more.
Chen Chao left the study with the little girl's body in his arms, and then slowly left the city.
Many people noticed this sword-wielding warrior along the way. Thinking of last night's news, not many people's eyes stayed on Chen Chao. Now it is only the people of Qingshui County who don't know what happened. If they know, they can only
I'm afraid that the long street will be filled with people kneeling at this moment.
That battle will be greater than the day the general left the capital of God.
Chen Chao didn't have the time to think about this. After leaving the county town with the little girl in his arms, he headed back the way he came. The body of the little girl's mother had also been thrown into the river and could never be found again. Now he could only
He found a place to bury the little girl. As for the local county guards and envoys, he would naturally write back to the capital and tell Song Lian what to do next and what the virtues of the new governors and envoys were.
It is not something he can control. Although he went up the mountain alone last night and killed a mountain of monks in Qingshui Mountain, he also knows how difficult it is for one person to change the world. Even Emperor Liang cannot do it.
It's perfect, let alone a warrior like him who has just stepped into the realm of the other side.
Most things in the world are actually just helpless.
Chen Chao was a little stunned.
Later, in a small town near the border of Bailu Prefecture, Chen Chao found a coffin shop and asked the boss to make a coffin. Then he took it upon himself to carve an unattractive grasshopper on the coffin.
A few days later, he carried the coffin back to the ferry.
The boatman was resting on the bank of the river. He saw the young man carrying the coffin who had left and returned. He remembered chatting with him at the bow of the boat and had already thought of something, but in the end he said nothing and just sighed.
Some people, if they don’t cherish them at the time, may have seen them for the last time and will never see them again if they want to see them again.
Chen Chao stood at the ferry, stunned.
This was where he and the little girl parted ways. He crossed the river to Huanglongzhou, while the little girl and her group headed down the river bank to the hinterland of Bailuzhou.
Chen Chao didn't know where the little girl came from in Bailu Prefecture, and he couldn't send her home. It was a chance encounter, but now it became deeply involved, which Chen Chao didn't expect.
After standing at the ferry for a day, many passengers looked at Chen Chao strangely, but after seeing the knife on Chen Chao's waist, no one dared to come forward and talk to him.
Knowing that it was getting late, the boatman approached Chen Chao, thought for a while, and asked, "Do you want to cross the river? No money."
It took a long time for Chen Chao to come back to his senses and just shook his head.
The boatman sighed, probably knowing that the young man in front of him was not an ordinary person, so he just left alone in the end.
Chen Chao turned around and went up the mountain.
In order to find traces of the little girl, he actually killed a lot of monsters in the nearby mountains. Now walking in the mountains, feeling his breath, those monsters are extremely quiet.
He was even afraid that if he made the slightest sound, the murderous god would strike again.
Chen Chao walked all the way to the top of the mountain.
Place the coffin in a beautiful location.
You can just see the ferry at the foot of the mountain from here.
Then he started digging in silence.
Soon, Chen Chao put the coffin into it, pushed open the lid of the coffin, and put down the grasshopper made of wild grass in his arms. Looking at the little girl's pale face, Chen Chao said softly: "Big brother didn't do a good enough job."
"You should grow up happily, then meet the man you like, get married and have children."
"No matter how bad things get, you should live in peace for the rest of your life."
Chen Chao talked a lot softly until midnight, then stopped, looked at the little girl in front of him, and said with some guilt: "This world shouldn't be like this."
Afterwards, Chen Chao closed the coffin and covered it with earth.
Then erect a monument.
Finally, he stood in front of the monument, silent for a long time, and then slowly pulled out the broken knife from his waist.
Turn around and go down the mountain.
Not long after, the screams of monsters were heard.
One after another, it didn't stop all night long.
That night, Chen Chao killed all the monsters within hundreds of miles.
…
…
After finishing all this, Chen Chao finally returned to this small tomb, sat on the ground, and covered his face with his hands.
…
…
Shendu, Nanhu Courtyard.
Xie Nandu raised his head and looked at the maid Liu Ye who had returned from the trip.
Liu Ye came under the eaves and said: "Miss, please report to me."
She handed over the Di Di newspaper in her hand, and then stood aside quietly. Since Xie Nandu entered the Shendu, she has developed the habit of reading the Di Di newspapers from all over Daliang every month and sent back to the Shendu. Although she aims at the north,
But she didn't want to miss out on what happened in the Daliang Dynasty. She thought she even knew what Daliang was like now better than many officials in the Daliang Dynasty.
As for the Di's newspaper, it was naturally sent from the Xie family. With Xie's power, there are ears and eyes all over the beam. It's natural to want such a Di's newspaper. However, it is worth mentioning that Xie Nandu's Di's newspaper is worth mentioning.
The newspaper is not an ordinary newspaper, but is as detailed as the newspaper reported by the ancestors of the Xie family. This kind of treatment is only given to Xie Nandu in the entire Xie family.
After taking the thick Di newspaper, Xie Nandu was not in a hurry. He reached out and took a piece of preserved fruit from the preserved fruit bag on the side, and then started to flip through it slowly. This Di newspaper has a summary of all places in Daliang, once a month, and has a huge amount of information.
Needless to say, she spent at least two hours every time reading.
So she wasn't in a hurry, she just flipped through it slowly and read through all the big and small things that happened in Daliang this month.
"Let's go bake a sweet potato."
Xie Nandu lowered his head, ate the preserved fruit, and said casually.
Liu Ye just nodded and stood up to light the stove. Xie Nandu thought about it and shook his head: "Forget it, you can't get that flavor out of the oven."
Liu Ye was startled, and then said a little aggrievedly: "Miss, why can't I get that flavor from baking?"
Xie Nandu didn't say anything, just said: "Bring me a pen."
Liu Ye didn't dare to neglect, and quickly got up and went to the house to get pen and ink. Xie Nandu reached out to take it and started to make comments on the newspaper.
This has been her habit all along.
Time passed slowly and silently, and soon the thick newspaper was almost finished.
Xie Nandu turned to the last page.
Then he frowned.
The last page actually didn't say anything. It just mentioned that there is a cultivation sect in Qingshui County in Bailu Prefecture called Qingshui Mountain. It has always been the largest sect in Qingshui County and actually controlled this county in the Liang Dynasty.
But now, it was destroyed overnight.
If others saw this, they would probably think it was just a vendetta between monks outside the country. This kind of thing is not new and happens often.
But Xie Nandu noticed the small line at the end of the newspaper.
"Then I went up the mountain and saw that there were only corpses lying on the ground on the mountain road. On the top of Qingshui Mountain, the main hall was broken. The master of the mountain, Tianyi Zhenren, was beaten to death, leaving only a ball of flesh. It is reported that earlier, someone saw it with his own eyes.
A young warrior in black clothes entered the city, and then the Qingshui Pavilion in Qingshui County was reduced to ruins. Then the young warrior left the city in the dark, and Qingshui Mountain was destroyed that night."
Xie Nandu raised her head and knew, almost without thinking, that the so-called young warrior in black must be Chen Chao, but she soon became confused and murmured: "Why did you do this?"
