——————
Baiyan Mountain is towering, but there is no extraordinary scenery in the mountain, so few people come here. However, Mingjin can still tell through some clues that people often come and go on this road, and there are horses going up and down the mountain.
There is even a place to raise horses in the mountains.
Hidden, uninhabited, and raising horses, it must be a place where dead soldiers are raised.
Ming Jin had already received the information, so she entered the mountain without further exploration. However, because of her powerful physical skills, she rushed to the hinterland of the mountain in an hour without following the people behind her. She could smell the blood from a distance.
I speeded up and before I arrived, I saw a large cave inside the rock wall of the mountain. There were many grottoes, and it looked like a place where people had lived for a long time.
A few, if not hundreds, of people have lived here for many years.
There is even a place for martial arts performances.
But now, the smell of blood is strong, and there is even a strong smell of corpses.
Ming Jin landed on the treetop and looked at the blood on the mountain road leading to the grotto and the martial arts field in front of him. He even saw broken arms and legs casually in the grass, but the main corpses were gone.
Because it was turned away.
Corpse water.
The blood was still very fresh, probably only a day or two old, but the bodies were gone, not even the bones were left.
Ming Jin landed under a mulberry tree and used the scabbard to lift up the withered grass blades, revealing the sticky substance underneath that had seeped into the soil.
Such a large amount of powerful corpse-transforming water has been passed down from the Xie family's secret guards for three hundred years. The ancestor of the Xie family is an all-rounder and can do almost anything. This kind of thing is also a secret recipe passed down.
Regardless of whether the secret guards are passed down from generation to generation or replaced and cleaned up, the configuration will always remain the same.
Because the direct lineage of the Xie family has never been broken.
Ming Jin glanced at the corpse and quickly swept it upwards. They were all dead.
So fast.
She was still a step slower.
However... Ming Jin still searched carefully. Just when Tuo Ze arrived with people, Ming Jin just happened to drag a person out of the secret room. The person was dying and had poisonous marks on his face, which showed that he had been poisoned.
Ming Jin gave him an antidote pill and asked him directly about his situation.
In fact, nothing happened. The powerful and terrifying secret guards made a surprise attack on the night before. After a bloody battle, they wiped out all three hundred of their dead soldiers. He was outmatched and poisoned. He took advantage of the chaos to escape into the secret room of the cave. He was deeply poisoned.
He couldn't even get up, so he could only hide here and wait for death, but he didn't dare to climb out.
"Do you know where they are going next?"
"I don't know. I only know that they are the secret guards of the Xie family. They are extremely vicious and powerful."
"Do you know whether they are wearing night clothes or ordinary clothes, what they are wearing...how many of them are there?"
Ming Jin asked about dressing and grooming. He could say a few words about this, but he didn't understand why it was important.
Of course it is important. The secret guard travels to protect or assassinate. If it is an assassination, the clothes and equipment worn represent the identity of the assassination target, the difficulty of the assassination, and the distance to the assassination place...
When Ming Jin learned that there were a hundred secret guards in this group, she knew that this was not a single mission to kill a group of dead soldiers that Su Shenzhi had raised privately.
There will be fighting next, and it will be a short distance.
They are arranged around the capital, not close, but not far away, with some distant mountains.
Does Su Shenzhi have other groups of dead soldiers?
"How much financial support do you receive every year? Su Shenzhi gives it to you."
"Three thousand gold."
so little.
Tuoze secretly slandered him, no wonder Su Shenzhi failed to hide his hatred towards his master several times when he was at Guijia Mountain.
Mostly because of poverty.
From this, we can also deduce that it would be understandable if the other party was involved in the corruption of Jiaocheng Ordnance Factory due to lack of money.
However, Mingjin can deduce from this amount that Su Shenzhi seems to have no other base besides raising dead men in Baiyan Mountain.
Without him, there is no money.
Moreover, the better the reputation of the Su family, and the more they are the mainstay of the elite, the more they need to cherish their feathers. With Su Dazai, and the powerful reconnaissance and intelligence departments supported by father and daughter Xie Yuan and Xie Mingjin, it is difficult for Su Shenzhi to hide it from the eyes and ears.
Being able to bury men and horses in Baiyan Mountain took a lot of effort from Mr. Su.
So, whose family's troops need her father to mobilize secret guards to travel in such a hurry?
More importantly, Ming Jin estimated that the combat strength of this group of secret guards should be the best of the Xie family's secret guards in the capital.
This shows that her father is not determined to protect the Xie family wholeheartedly.
His purpose was to slaughter the enemy's troops.
It's not wrong, it can only be said that the father and daughter are deviating from each other's thoughts.
Ming Jin stroked her brows and sat in silence for a long time, looking at the living person again, seemingly lost in thought, but soon she came back to her senses.
The living man who had been stared at by her for a long time was numb. When he saw her getting up, he wanted to beg for his life, but when Takuze's sword moved beside him, he fell down.
"It's taken care of." Tuo Ze ordered his subordinates to follow Ming Jin out.
He didn't ask where to go next, because the Lord, the father, was too thoughtful. He had been tracking for so long. He thought he had finally caught up to the place, but he still fell behind.
If you are a dead soldier who wants to destroy the enemy, there are so many mountains around the capital and you can't find them. Then you will be like a headless fly.
But he didn't expect that Ming Jin suddenly climbed up the branch, then jumped up two heights, pulled a person out of an abandoned hole above, and threw him to the ground.
Before the other party could stand up, her sword was pressed against his throat.
"Eleven, up to this point, do you still think you can hide my insight?"
Bi Shiyi remained silent.
"Is it Bi Er's order to leave you to investigate my tracks since you expected me to catch up?"
"It's still my father's."
Bi Shiyi leaned his head and still didn't speak.
Ming Jin looked at him, "Killing away the foreign enemies is the key to setting the tripod. At this time, the imperial court is in a passive position and does not dare to act rashly. But at this time, he uses the power of thunder to sweep away the enemy's nest and cut off the opponent's troops.
, even if the court catches some clues, because the crime is harmful to the country, the court, and the people, and the other party does not dare to publicize that it is their own people, they can only swallow a bitter pill, and the court will not make trouble.
Great, this is an excellent time.”
"Eleven, you know that I know him best. Do you think my guess is right?"
Bi Shiyi remained silent.
Although Ming Jin's sword was against his throat, it did not hurt his skin even an inch, and his tone was very gentle, but the more he spoke, the deeper he said, "If you are right, then I will continue to tell you. Although it is a good time, it also means the end."
, if this round cannot completely kill the opponent, it is a poison attached to the bones. The hidden dangers are far greater than the benefits, and it will only aggravate the gap with the imperial court."
"But Eleven, given his character, shouldn't be like this."
"Too aggressive."
Ming Jin bent down and squatted in front of Bi Shiyi. Bi Shiyi was frightened and immediately wanted to help Ming Jin up.
"This is a situation where you die or I die. I'm not worried. Can you tell me where he is now?"
Ming Jin's voice was slightly trembling.
It's like begging Bi Shiyi.
Bi Shi's cheeks trembled and he finally said: "The master's plan is very big this time. He has mobilized the secret guards and the Wujia Army. I am responsible for the Baiyan Mountain area under Su Shenzhi's command. Bi Er and the others are responsible for other places, but I don't know who they belong to."
The lord and the horse only mentioned that after everything is over, they will meet in one place today."
"which place?"
"Red Stone Valley."
Ming Jin's pupils trembled fiercely.
Is this a fight?
It is estimated that the other party also agreed.
The moves made the night before yesterday should have been taken in other places, and they will be gathered together in Red Stone Valley.
Today.
Is it time to see the final chapter?
After taking a deep look at Bi Shiyi, the expression on Ming Jin's face calmed down. He stood up, sheathed his sword, and said hoarsely: "Go to Red Stone Valley."
————————
It rained lightly today, ten minutes in the evening, and it continued to rain. The sky was gloomy and not getting better. Due to the heavy rains two days ago, water accumulated in the mountains, and streams like Hongshi Valley also became fast-flowing river sections. On one side of the Hongshi River section, two waves
People confront each other.
"Unexpectedly, Mr. Xie, he didn't come, but we came instead."
The group of people on the other side of the forest are all smart and capable, most of them are cult members, and there are more than a hundred Guangling Valley elites.
What I just started is peeling.
Xie Yuan on the other side said calmly: "I didn't see the owner, but I saw the dog. It seems that I was too weak to let him come in person."
Peeling didn't bother him, he just looked at Xie Yuan's back, thoughtfully.
He is alone.
Strangely, after getting the news that Xie Yuan was indeed in the Red Stone Valley, they rushed here cautiously and checked the surroundings. They saw no ambush. They only saw Xie Yuan sitting alone by the river in the light rain, looking at
The rushing river water, I don’t know what I’m thinking.
They suspected fraud and kept observing their surroundings while talking.
“Mr.
Xie Yuan was too lazy to pay attention to Peeling, but looked at Xu Qiubai with deep eyes, but said nothing.
It was Xu Qiubai who spoke first, "You are waiting for someone."
Peipei was slightly frightened, but did not show it. He just asked his subordinates to be cautious around them, but Xie Yuan looked at Xu Qiubai, but said lightly: "Afraid of an ambush?"
Xu Qiubai hated Xie Yuan so much, "Isn't this the specialty of the Xie family to set up ambush?"
Xie Yuan chuckled lightly, "It seems that you are indeed..."
Xu Qiubai's eyes were cold and stern, "What is it really?"
Xie Yuan said coolly, "It is indeed a plaything."
In a word, Xu Qiubai's eyes were full of resentment, but he restrained himself and said: "Only the winner has the right to humiliate the loser at will. The Xie family won back then, but now, Mr. Xie, do you think you have won?"
"So what if you kill so many people? If you die, the Xie family will also be defeated. Or do you think Ming Jin is that person's opponent?"
Although they admired Xie Yuan for the level of massacre after the outbreak, they were not even sure who else the troops he sent had moved and where.
But you don’t need to do everything perfectly.
Keep the key points in everything.
Killing Xie Yuan is the top priority.
Xie Yuan was noncommittal, "Did you mention her on purpose to anger me?"
"I don't think I'm worthy." Xu Qiubai chuckled, and that smile actually had a sinister flavor.
"That's right, she is the apple of your Xie family's eye. I have spent so much effort and failed to deceive her, but you should thank me. In fact, she fell into my hands several times. That time in Linzhou City
, did you know how I felt that time when you stabbed me with a sword from above?"
"I regret it. Even if I don't kill her, I should still play with her. The daughter of Xie Yuan and Er Jianxin, the young master of the Xie family must be very..."
Xie Yuan suddenly interrupted him and said: "I have tried my best to tell the difference between love and true love."
Xu Qiubai was startled and narrowed his eyes.
Xie Yuan turned his head and looked at the rocks gradually filling up the Red Stone Valley, and said: "When I decided to deceive her mother for my own legs and future, I had a plan in mind and thought I had a plan, but what happened later?"
"Sometimes, the dead may not lose, and the living may not win."
He turned his face, his somewhat dazed expression turned cold and contemptuous, "I know who you are, and I also know that you think it's natural for you to seek revenge. Sometimes I find it ridiculous. The most ridiculous thing is - you don't
You know why I think you are ridiculous."
His eyes shifted from Peeling to Xu Qiubai, and finally stopped on the latter's face.
Skinning angered him.
Xie Yuan indeed has the ability to irritate men all over the world. He has white hair and a red-brown robe. He stands there, obviously alone, but as if there are thousands of troops behind him.
The water flowed rapidly, as if the only sound between heaven and earth was the sound of water, and his calm but extremely contemptuous words.
Peeling has always been an evil thing, but he has been enduring it today. Now he can't help it, but Xu Qiubai made a gesture, and he saw the latter's hand pressed on the sword.
"Mr. Xie chose this place. Could it be that he knew the date of his death and wanted to stay and fly with the soul of the second sword heart?"
"Or are you using yourself as bait to lure us out?"
"If so, the bait is never perfect, don't you know?"
Before Xie Yuan could answer, Xu Qiubai jumped up from his horse and drew his sword. The light on the sword gathered raindrops, cold and moist, and condensed the killing intent.
When it approached Xie Yuan, Peipei and the others were alert to their surroundings at their peak, while Xu Qiubai was wary of another possibility - Xie Yuan himself might be a master.
But Xu Qiubai saw the calmness in Xie Yuan's eyes in that short moment.
This kind of calmness ignores life and death and transcends the mortal world.
It's like a calm after the dust has settled.
Xu Qiubai Muran was a little frightened, the sword had just arrived.
Keng!!
The long sword flying from the other side of the river knocked his blade away.
The long sword bounced off and fell into the stream stone.
Everyone looked across the river together.
A horse hurried out of the forest and landed on the creek rocks. However, it was blocked by the rushing river and could only look across the bank.
The rain was pouring, and Xu Qiubai saw Xie Mingjin's body soaked to the skin, the panic on his pale face, and the look in his eyes as he looked at him... He couldn't see clearly. Although the rain was light, the sky was too gloomy.
He only remembered that at this moment of the day, her face was so white, her lips looked slightly red, and she seemed to be slightly opening her mouth to say something.
But he saw Xie Yuan, who had his back turned to her, said a name to him.
A woman's name.
At that moment, Xu Qiubai's face turned ferocious and he raised his sword.
The sword passed.
Bi Shiyi and others rushed out on horseback, just in time to see Xu Qiubai's long sword slash through Xie Yuan's neck, and then... his head flew up.
Ming Jin saw it, looked at the splattered blood, dyed his hair white, watched it fall to the ground, rolled twice, and turned his face towards Ming Jin.
Clearly, she saw his expression and his eyes.
His pupils seemed to tremble, as if they were locked on his only daughter.
But Ming Jin locked him, as if the heaven and earth, the light rain, and the rushing river had all melted and twisted into a ball, like a big net, entangling a blood-stained white-haired head, so dense that it was difficult to see clearly.
My face just feels cold.
