This was a world where right and wrong were reversed and good and evil could not be distinguished. It was filled with temptation, misery, heartache, and helplessness.
As long as you were alive, you would be in it and suffer all the time.
"The heart is not intoxicated, and the loneliness is self-respecting. If I recall the world of mortals, I will shed no tears.”As the saying goes, heroes are short of breath and love is long. Who in the world can really let go?
A poem by the Tang Dynasty poet Gao Shi described the desolation of the desert outside the Pass: "I rode my horse from the desert and climbed the wall. Why is the border town so desolate? The day is yellow and the clouds are dark.”
Qin Feng had stayed outside the pass for three whole years. It could be said that he had wasted three precious years. A good youth was very important to a young man. His good friends who were about the same age as him had probably already married and established their businesses. They were famous and admired by people. At the very least, they would live a comfortable life.
However, Qin Feng was like an abandoned baby. He was an orphan who was abandoned in the desert after he grew up. During these three years, he could not choose his own life path. He had to wait and endure slowly. Only those who have been imprisoned know what it feels like to wait. Waiting makes one's heart grow old. Waiting is simple, but it is very difficult to survive in the process of waiting. Living is to wait, waiting is also for a better life in the future. The desire to survive has made him endure the torture of fate time and time again. Now, he had become resolute and cold. At 23, he had a steadiness and maturity that his peers did not have.
Three years of hardship outside the Great Wall, living in the open, begging and starving, robbing the rich to help the poor, and even becoming an assassin. This way, not only could he survive, but he could also help the poor who were on the verge of death. This might also be an excuse for himself, because sometimes it was not so easy to really survive. This kind of environment made Qin Feng experience the hardships of life, deeply experiencing the warmth and coldness of the human world.
After walking in the vast desert for more than half a month, they finally stepped into the border of the Central Plains. The flowers and trees gradually increased, and the wind became gentler. It was as if they could smell the breath of life. Would the warm wind still warm Qin Feng's cold heart?
There were two kinds of people in this world. One was lucky, and the other was unlucky. Qin Feng belonged to the latter. From a young master who lived in luxury to a prodigal son who suffered all the hardships of the world, it was really heaven and hell. However, it was unknown whether he was able to force himself to live and blindly survive because of the primitive desires of human nature or something else. He only knew that he wanted to live like this.
The sky slowly darkened, as dark as Qin Feng's mood. A light breeze blew away countless dead leaves and also blew up Qin Feng's long hair. His thin face had a pair of big and lifeless eyes. Those empty eyes revealed endless indifference and melancholy. Everyone who looked into his eyes would be deeply attracted and infected. His eyes hid the past, making people feel even more mysterious and moving.
The thin horse under him was walking briskly. His white clothes fluttered in the wind, revealing the sword tied to the saddle. His sword was thin and long. The horse was a good horse, and the sword was a good sword!
His legs lightly knocked against the horse's back. The horse raised its front hooves and neighed, galloping like lightning. In the dusk of the setting sun, Qin Feng let the horse whip and galloped through the forest, rolling up the dead leaves and dancing. Qin Feng's mood also seemed to have improved a lot. He wantonly let out a long howl to vent the depression in his heart.
As the horse galloped, it neighed and suddenly stopped. Qin Feng was startled at first, then he instinctively jumped off the horse. With his many years of experience, he could vaguely feel a killing intent approaching.
Qin Feng tightly gripped the sword hilt, holding his breath as he looked around with the corner of his eyes.
The narrow forest path instantly quieted down. Only the chirping of insects could be heard. Qin Feng grabbed the horse's reins with one hand and wanted to move forward slowly, but the little red rabbit seemed to be nailed to the ground and refused to move a step.
Qin Feng also felt that something was wrong. He dismounted and moved his feet. He felt that there was nothing under his feet and fell down. Qin Feng pulled the reins of the horse and jumped lightly. He jumped back onto the horse's back.
Qin Feng had already calmed down from the shock. Looking closely, it turned out that there was a very deep pit in front of him that was covered by void grass. It was very difficult to detect in the dark. Fortunately, his mount, Little Red Rabbit, was a good horse and had noticed it long ago. Otherwise, he would have fallen into the trap with his horse. Thinking about it made him afraid.
At this moment, a dozen black shadows approached Qin Feng from all directions. Seeing that the fall pit had not succeeded, the black shadows quietly complained that what they had done just now was not realistic enough. One of them said in a low voice,"Big brother, what should we do? It's earlier than we expected. Second Brother and Fourth Brother haven't arrived yet…"
The big brother hushed him and led the black shadows to surround him. Each of them held a saber and a sword as they faced each other. The big brother in the lead carefully sized up Qin Feng. Seeing that Qin Feng's aura was extraordinary and had a sense of righteousness, he hesitated for a moment before saying,"You are Zither Maple."
Qin Feng nodded. The dozen or so burly men all glared at Qin Feng fiercely.
"Looking at your appearance, you would actually do such an evil deed that would incur the wrath of heaven. You really can't judge a book by its cover. Although your martial arts are strong, we won't be afraid of you. We won't pursue the matter or ask for any conditions. As long as it's within my ability, I will do my best.”
Qin Feng said," This big brother, may I know your name? You might have mistaken me for someone else. I've just stepped into the Central Plains."”
One of them said with a shifty look,"Big brother, let us kill this kid."”He held a pair of large axes in his hands, looking very out of place.
Qin Feng said seriously," Big Brother Ban Fu, I think it's better to figure out the situation first. Otherwise, I'll be a wronged ghost. I won't even know how I died.”
A man in his forties with a white beard, who was called Big Brother by others, said,"I am Lu Huo, the head of the Thirteen Eagles in the frontier fortress, the number one criminal of your imperial court.”
Qin Feng looked at this Lu Huo, the boss of the Thirteen Eagles. His face was filled with vicissitudes of life and righteousness, giving people a sense of prestige and reliability. From Lu Huo's words, he was a criminal of the imperial court. He roamed the frontier fortress and guarded the desert outside the pass. Qin Feng had never heard of him before. Moreover, he spoke bluntly and had a domineering air about him.
Qin Feng immediately had a good impression of him. He said in a clear voice," Big Brother Lu, I've heard of your reputation like thunder. It's truly my honor to meet you today.”Of course, this was something he made up himself. In this chaotic world, the world was upside down, and the boundaries between good and bad were blurred. Moreover, he was alone and weak, and the enemy was in the dark while he was in the light. It was better to figure out the whole thing first.
"Big Brother Lu, why don't you explain the whole thing clearly?"”
In recent years, there were very few people in the frontier fortress who had not heard of Lu Huo. When Lu Huo heard this young man say this, his anger dissipated by more than half. He said,"You said that you are Zither Maple, so that's right. Our target this time is this pervert. What else do you have to hide? A true man does what he does. As long as you hand over the person first, everything can be discussed.”
"Big brother Lu Huo, who do you want me to hand over?" Qin Feng cupped his fists and said.”
The leader slowly raised his head and said arrogantly,"We, the Thirteen Falcons of the frontier fortress, are all chivalrous people. We don't kill or set fire. Even if we rob the rich to help the poor, we have no choice but to open a granary to relieve the poor. We have never done evil deeds and are not afraid of the bullsh * t imperial court.”
Qin Feng knows that they have mistaken the wrong person. Moreover, their opponent is definitely a powerful character. That's why he is so polite in discussing the conditions. He also doesn't wish for his brothers to be implicated and hurt because of this matter. Qin Feng couldn't help but admire in his heart.
Lu Huo saw that Qin Feng was deep in thought and continued,"State your conditions."
Qin Feng said," Big Brother Lu, it seems like this is a misunderstanding. You've got the wrong person. I'm not the person you're looking for. I've said that I've just stepped into the Central Plains and came from the desert. I've never kidnapped your daughter."”
One of them said angrily,"Big Brother, why are you still wasting your breath on him? Just kill him and be done with it?"”
"Are you rushing to Zhao Village?" Lu Huo smiled bitterly.”
"That's right!" Qin Feng said curiously. She wondered how he knew so much about her.
"Then you're that rapist, Qin Feng. How can you quibble?" Lu Huo shouted with a troubled expression.”
"I am Qin Feng, Qin as in Qin Shihuang, and Feng as in Fengyun." I've never seen your daughter, nor do I know your daughter. I'm not a rapist, nor have I raped anyone. At most, I've visited brothels. Could it be that people who visit brothels are called rapists?”
A man who visited a brothel to find a woman was indeed not a pervert. Qin Feng said,"Could it be that your daughter is also selling herself in a brothel outside the pass?”
Lu Huo was speechless. When the few burly men beside him heard this, they all blew their beards and glared at him. They all rubbed their fists and roared, as if they wanted to swallow Qin Feng alive. However, without hearing Lu Huo's order, no one was willing to make the first move.
Qin Feng saw Lu Huo lowering his head and not saying a word. He seemed to be thinking and continued,"Brother Lu, could it be that the pervert you mentioned has the same name as me?”
At this moment, two figures flashed over and said in a low voice,""Second Brother and Fourth Brother have arrived." "Brothers, let's go!”Although Ruho had his doubts, he couldn't believe it completely. Moreover, he always did things cleanly and decisively. Clearly, he was talking nonsense with Qin Feng in order to stall for time and wait for his men to gather.
They had already surrounded Qin Feng. They jumped up and quickly pulled a few big ropes and ran out. Their movements were strange and agile. Qin Feng knew that there must be a trap but he had already been unable to dodge it. A big net fell from the sky and tightly trapped Qin Feng and the little red rabbit. At this moment, no matter how powerful they were, they could not break free for the time being.
Qin Feng thought to himself that he was really an unlucky person, becoming a pervert for no reason.
The Thirteen Eagles of the Frontier Fortress were about to tie Qin Feng up. A white figure rode over at full speed. The few black figures looked at each other in bewilderment, not knowing what to do.
One of them said,"Big brother, another one has come!"”
Ruho wondered if he had really gotten the wrong person. Since things had come to this, he shouted,"It's better to catch two by mistake than to let one go. Brothers, spread out." All the brothers were clearly used to ambushing and ambushing, and they were agile. Only Qin Feng was left in the middle of the path.
The white clothed person's riding skill is very high. The horse galloped over. Seeing that Qin Feng was about to be trampled by the horse's hoofs and that his life was at stake, Qin Feng closed his eyes.
With a neigh, the horse leaped up and flew past Qin Feng. However, the white-robed man never expected that there would be a pit in front of Qin Feng. The horse lost its footing and fell headfirst into the pit. The white-robed man stood up and used his left foot to push the horse's back. He flew ten feet away and landed lightly.
Qin Feng couldn't help but sigh. This white-robed man's lightness skill was actually above his own. It was rare in this world.
Qin Feng still struggled with all his might, wanting to break free. However, it was useless. Moreover, he was trapped together with the little red rabbit. The more he moved, the tighter he became.
The man in white had a head of long black hair. Under the moonlight, the outline of his face was like marble. He was resolute and confident. His eyes were thin and long, and his charm was obvious. He gave people a cold and unapproachable feeling.
Qin Feng didn't say anything and just quietly observed the changes in the situation. Because speaking at this moment was the most unwise thing to do. This fact had nothing to do with him.
Several crossbow arrows flew towards the man in white, mixed with hidden weapons and flying needles. The man in white pulled out his sword to block, but the crossbow arrows were blocked on the ground. The flying needles were so small that it was difficult to distinguish. At this moment, Qin Feng was also worried about the man in white.
The man in white was not an ordinary person either. He moved his body to the side and sent several flying needles into the ground. The person who used the flying needles was a hidden weapon expert. The white-robed man's expression changed slightly. He felt a chill in his heart. It was easy to dodge an open spear, but difficult to defend against an arrow in the dark.
Now that he was prepared, the man in white dodged more easily. The moment the white-robed man turned around, he touched his body and waved his hand casually. A miserable cry was heard in the forest, and then someone shouted,"Second brother." It was clearly the hidden weapon of the white-clothed man in the "Second Brother".
The white-robed man's gaze was cold as he stood under the moonlight, quietly not moving. Qin Feng thought that this person's mental strength was not bad. His heart was calm and he could reach far. He was as quiet as a virgin and as agile as a rabbit. He was an expert among experts.
When Lu Huo and the others saw Dark Arrow scuttling out of the forest, their expressions turned grave.
"You're Zinfeng?" Lu Huo said angrily.”
The man in white still did not answer. It seemed like he was too lazy to answer, but it also seemed like he was tacitly agreeing. Anyway, I'm just one person. You guys do as you see fit. Either let me go, or kill me. It didn't matter.
Dealing with this kind of person was the most taxing. You would never be able to figure him out.
"I'm Lu Huo," Lu Huo said."If you're Qin Feng, don't even think about escaping. Give me an explanation first."
Qin Feng thought that this fellow had the same name as him. At the very least, they had the same pronunciation. His style of doing things was somewhat similar to his. His curiosity was piqued. Although Lu Huo and the others were also experts in the martial arts world, it was very difficult for them to deal with Zither.
"Big Brother Lu, I think you should make things clear. I think there must be a misunderstanding."”
Luho was also scared, but he didn't think that he was afraid of death. However, as the boss, he was not a reckless person. There must be a misunderstanding.
He looked at the man in white and asked,"Is this hero Qin Feng?"”His tone was obviously much softer, but his brothers were very dissatisfied. Perhaps it was because his " second brother " had died in the hands of the man in white. They all held their weapons tightly with both hands. If anything went wrong, they would kill him. This was the brotherhood in Jianghu.
The man in white blinked and nodded.""I am Qin Feng."
Ruho was furious, but he suppressed it and said,""Why did you kidnap my beloved daughter?”
"I've kidnapped more than a hundred women," Qin Feng said coldly."How would I know who your daughter is?"”
" So it's true," said Lu Huo angrily." The rumors in Jianghu are true. You look like a beast in your fine clothes."”
"I've always thought that I was a beast. Beasts are much simpler than humans."”
Lu Huo said," Since that's the case, there's no point in saying more. Where is my beloved daughter? What conditions do you have? As long as I, Lu Huo, can do it, just say it."”
" I don't have any conditions," Qin Feng said." It's just that I took a fancy to your woman. Those who were abducted by me were naturally those whom I took a fancy to. Those whom I took a fancy to would definitely be abducted by me.”
Qin Feng thought that this person's words were so rude and overbearing. Perhaps it was because he relied on his superior martial arts skills and did not put the person in front of him in his eyes.
Qin Feng said," I don't kill people, and I don't want to be killed. The woman I kidnapped will live very well and comfortably. If you have nothing else to say, I'll take my leave first."”
Qin Feng thought to himself, a pervert is still a pervert, but not a murderous demon king. He was just lecherous.
Ruho was really unlucky to have met this person. He had a lot of twisted logic and was self-opinionated. However, when he thought of his beloved daughter, he became furious. Moreover, he had injured his second brother. In the end, they were not good people. With a loud shout, a Ghost Head Blade was sent flying toward Zither Maple's head.
Qin Feng first took out his sword to block, and a pair of broad axes swung at his waist. Qin Feng retreated, and his sword flew out. The broad axes missed, and the one wielding the axes was a thin man, and his body followed the axes.
The thirteen eagles of the frontier fortress pounced at Zither Maple as if they were possessed, but they seemed to cooperate with each other freely and methodically. It was obvious that they were used to it, and each move was vicious.
Qin Feng was forced to retreat dozens of steps. Standing still, he then used his sword to dance in the air. It was truly like a dream. The leaves flew along with the sword qi. Qin Feng was also secretly shocked. Qin Feng's sword technique was so beautiful. Not only was it beautiful, but it was also practical. In a moment, many of the Thirteen Eagles had fallen, until the last one had fallen. His sword was very special. It flickered with dark blue cold air and was not stained with blood.
Qin Feng thought to himself, this guy is a pervert, but is there such a handsome pervert? Did he not have doubts in his heart? It was better to escape first. "Zither Hero, please do me a favor. Can you let go of me?"”
Only then did Qin Feng carefully look at him. His eyes revealed a strange expression. This man in the net was so similar to him. "Alright! Then let me borrow your horse."
He first let out the little red rabbit, then raised his head to the sky and let out a long roar, spurring the horse to gallop away. The little red rabbit was originally a fine steed, and Qin Feng was extremely similar to Qin Feng. A horse was a horse after all, and it was still driven by Qin Feng.
