The carriage stopped slowly. Li Congshan raised the curtains and looked at the scene in front of him. It was unbelievable. What he saw was a desolate place, scattered bricks and wood, collapsed houses, and corpses lying on the ground, all of which told him that this place

There had just been a war, or a massacre would be more appropriate.

"Master Fu Yin, what on earth is going on?" Li Congshan got off the carriage. This place used to be so prosperous, but now it has become like this.

"How do I know?" Zhao Guangyi spread his hands. This was his first time here. He originally wanted to see the customs and customs of Jiangnan, but instead he saw the purgatory on earth.

Taking a deep breath, Li Congshan strode forward. He wanted to figure out what was going on.

In the corner of the collapsed wall, there was a man lying down, and there was still movement. Li Congshan walked over, turned him over, and wanted to ask about the situation.

A feeling of dizziness came, and Li Congshan could hardly stand still. The man's face was hit by an unknown heavy object. His eyes were covered with blood and flesh, and all his facial features were missing.

"Being hit in the face by a shield at a very fast speed is the injury." Zhao Guangyi put his hands in his sleeves. He had been used to this kind of injury since he was a child.

On the battlefield, those sword and shield soldiers were accustomed to using this move. A small shield tied to the elbow, a powerful blow, and his eldest brother was the leader among them back then.

"Who is it!" Li Congshan roared angrily. He couldn't understand how the Tang Dynasty fell into such a situation. This was Caishiji, only a few dozen miles away from Jiangning, but there was such a miserable situation like hell on earth.

On a big tree only ten steps away from him, there were hanging a dozen women in torn clothes, and there were countless corpses under the tree. They were all the people of his Li family.

"Oh, there really is a fish that slipped through the net." At the corner of the street, a dozen soldiers wearing armor appeared. Except for the leader who was wearing full-body iron armor, the others were all leather armor, with only the vital parts covered with iron sheets.

.

Li Congshan looked up and saw that the opponent's weapons and armor were all a strange dark black color, which was the color of blood after solidification. It was evil and strange.

"Are you from the navy?" Li Congshan raised his finger and asked the other party. The style of the armor was the standard equipment of the navy of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

"It's a man with long eyes. It's a pity that he saw something he shouldn't have seen. It's strange and his life is bad!" The leader took a sword and walked directly towards Li Congshan.

Although there were dozens of people on the other side, he didn't take them seriously. They were elites in the army.

Originally, the market had been swept away, but the boss was worried that someone might slip through the net and reveal their secrets, so he asked him to stay and check them one by one. Unexpectedly, someone actually walked in.

"He's a capable man," Zhao Guangyi said with a smile as he saw a dozen people appearing from behind. Knowing that they had horses, he actually sent half of them to block the road from behind.

Zhao Guangyi was carrying his own bodyguards, and the armors on his body had no markings. I wonder if these people would still dare to be so bold if they were using the standard armor of the Song Dynasty Forbidden Army.

"Why?" Li Congshan's eyes were bloodshot and his fists were clenched. He wanted to kill these beasts with his own hands, but unfortunately he was too weak. Anyone could send him to hell.

For the first time, Li Congshan felt so powerless. No matter how many poems, songs, romances, romances, etc., what could they do? How could these beasts understand?

"Why? Haha, these merchants are all people who are lying on our soldiers and sucking the bones. They have made so much money, it's time to spit it out." The leader laughed. This kid must not be stupid. Apart from money,

What else is worthy of him?

Do they do this?

"Then, what about these women? They are just poor people who entertain people with sex in exchange for some daily necessities. How much savings do they have? Besides, if you really ask for something, no matter how much money or sex you have, how dare they resist?

No?" Li Congshan could tell that the women hanging on the tree were women who made a living by just looking at the clothes they wore. They couldn't compare to the elegance of the women in the brothel. How could such a high-end place come here? They could only be regarded as prostitutes.

"It's just that they were born in the wrong place. This world is not worthy of their nostalgia. It would be better to get on the road earlier." The leader showed a trace of disdain. He would just kill an ant-like figure. How could they let it out?

the truth.

"If my guess is correct, do you want to blame Song Jun for all this? Take all the benefits and kill everyone, so no one will know the truth. It's really a good plan." Zhao Guangyi clapped his hands, thinking.

This guy is really a talent.

If they do this, no one will pursue the truth at all, and they will directly blame the Song Army to satisfy everyone's needs. Even if someone finds some clues, as long as there is no conclusive evidence, they will be suppressed. This is called political correctness.

"Who are you?" The leader stopped subconsciously. He was less than ten steps away from Zhao Guangyi. If he knew what happened to the Song Army, he must not be an ordinary person.

"I think if I keep you as a witness, everyone else can die." Zhao Guangyi was very unhappy. He had always been the one hiding behind the plot, but now he was going to take the blame this time.

These people must be under Li Jicao, and this idea must have come from this person. At this juncture, this person actually acted like this, which really disappointed him.

At the moment, it is not possible to fall out with Li Jicao. Keeping the leader will make it easier to control Li Jicao in the future.

"Haha, what a joke, brothers, come on!" the leader yelled, he brought so many brothers with him, how could it not be a good arrangement?

Under Li Congshan's astonished gaze, Zhao Guang not only did not retreat, but rushed towards the leader of the other party. His hands that were originally gathered in his sleeves were suddenly drawn out, like wings, tucked at his side, and two daggers were ready.

hair.

The leaders were careless at first, they were just two scholars with some fighting ability. The distance that was originally less than ten steps was reduced by Zhao Guangyi's galloping, but it was only a blink of an eye.

In a panic, he drew out his sword and slashed at Zhao Guangyi. He secretly thought in his heart that this man actually wanted to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger.

Facing the long knife coming at him, Zhao Guangyi turned sideways, and at the same time blocked with his dagger with his left hand to resist the long knife that wanted to change its direction. The dagger in his right hand stabbed straight into the opponent's left arm, and the hard armor was instantly broken.

Zhao Guangyi continued to charge forward, turning the dagger in his right hand, and Li Congshan felt his teeth sore inexplicably.

"Ah!" The leader of the thieves let out a heart-rending roar, letting Li Congshan know the pain involved.

Zhao Guangyi stopped suddenly, turned around, and thrust the dagger in his left hand straight into the opponent's right arm.

With a sound of "Cang!", the opponent could no longer hold on, and the long knife fell to the ground, with his arms hanging freely.

All this was accomplished in a flash of lightning. Although the thieves who came from behind were still frightened, they had no choice but to continue the attack and could only rely on the strength of numbers.

Zhao Guangyi danced his two daggers very fast, and his steps never stopped. Unlike the leader of the other bandit soldiers, who lost his fighting power, the soldiers behind him all went straight to the vital point, killing with one sword, without two moves.

.

The guards brought by Zhao Guangyi from the rear were also very skilled, leaving half of them to deal with the rear, while the others quickly supported Zhao Guangyi.

Li Congshan looked at everything in front of him blankly, and then he realized why

The other party dares to come out and take a look. With such skill, there is nothing in the world.

When the killing was almost done, Zhao Guangyi left directly and let the guards take care of the rest. He walked to the well, picked up a bucket of water, washed his hands and face, replaced it with another bucket of water, and wiped it with a handkerchief.

After getting it wet, wipe it carefully.

The originally white clothes were already stained with blood, and no matter how hard they were wiped, they would never turn white again.

"Master Fu Yin is very skilled." Li Congshan remembered that he had once fought and hijacked Zhao Guangyi to escape after crossing the river, and he suddenly felt frightened.

"As soon as I became sensible, I followed my brother all over the world. If I didn't learn some martial arts, I would have died a long time ago. How could I be here today?" Zhao Guangyi wiped his neck carefully again and threw the handkerchief on the ground.

"Master Fu Yin, this is not just about learning some martial arts, training from famous teachers, and working hard all year round, you will never achieve what you are today." Li Congshan is not good at boxing, but he has vision and knowledge. The combat power shown by Zhao Guangyi today is definitely the best.

The top kind.

"Famous teacher? I don't have one. I learned it from my brother. My brother is good at battle formations and has a wide range of moves. I like short blades and can kill enemies within a few inches." Zhao Guangyi also rinsed the short sword and took it out again.

A clean handkerchief and wipe carefully.

These two daggers were made by him after searching for famous masters and spending a lot of effort. They were not only extremely sharp, but also tough and not easily broken.

Everyone knows that Zhao Kuangyin can fight, otherwise he would not be supported by everyone and sit on the throne of the emperor. But this Zhao Guangyi is hidden deep enough. He is dressed as a civil servant all day long. Who would have known that he has such skill, and

The dagger never leaves the body.

"In my early years, I also learned boxing for a while, but then I gave up because I couldn't hold on. Now that I think about it, I feel a little regretful." Li Congshan has been well-fed and clothed since he was a child. It is normal that he cannot bear the hardship of practicing martial arts.

I remember what my brother Li Yu said at that time, instead of wasting time on meaningless boxing and kicking, it is better to study poetry more in order to be famous for generations to come.

At that time, Li Congshan felt that it was right. He would be escorted when he came in and out. As long as he was willing to spend money, safety would not be a problem. And if he was good at poetry, he could go to various elegant places and make countless friends.

"Let's go!" Zhao Guangyi pointed to the carriage. After finishing cooking, it was time for them to get on the road and go back.

The leading bandit was roughly wrapped in a cloth by the guards, and then tied to a horse with a rope and brought back to the camp.

The carriage was rolling, but Li Congshan's face was still ugly. He couldn't figure out who could be so bold and wantonly massacred people. There was no one left alive in the entire market.

"Can't you understand?" Zhao Guangyi took out two wine glasses from the cabinet next to the table, poured half a glass, and handed one to Li Congshan.

Li Congshan nodded. Normally the enemy would not be able to do these things, but he could be so cruel to his own people.

"Even Jiang Fang can be given up to allow our army to enter freely. What else can't be done?" Zhao Guangyi drank the wine in the glass. The carriage still bumped a bit and almost spilled it on him.

"Who is it?" Li Congshan finally realized. Indeed, what kind of humanity is there for a person who sells his family and country even if he says so?

"You know him too, he's from your Li clan, is it unexpected?" Zhao Guangyi poured himself another drink. As of now, it's hard to say whether he can hide it or not. Sooner or later he will be exposed.

"Li Jicao? Haha, he really harbors evil intentions. If not for the protection of the emperor's brother, how would he have come forward?" When he was in Jiangning, Li Congshan disliked this person. He was used to working in business and forming cliques for personal gain. In order to make money, he even cultivated a villain.
