Chapter 17. The flower dance in front of the Hua Fu mausoleum, and the discussion in the consort hall

That day, Zhao Shu and Hua Feng left the Prince Consort's Mansion and came to the Yijiang League together. After looking at the changes in the Yijiang League over the past few years, Zhao Shu was naturally full of emotion.

When Hua Feng saw Zhao Shu pondering, he asked, "Zhao Shu, what's the matter with Jiangmeng now?"

"Not bad. It was not that wide when it was Zhenjiang League back then."

"Yes, before I knew it, it has been many years since my senior brother became the leader of the alliance. Fortunately, my senior brother convinced the Emperor of Song that the Jiang League was able to be expanded."

"Liu Zhan is indeed a powerful person. Now, how is Wang Jien?"

"Senior brother broke his golden bell cover, and now he is seriously injured. He has been pressed into the Heavenly Prison and is waiting to fall."

"I didn't expect that Wang Ji'en, who was in full swing back then, would have ended like this."

"Now Wang Ji'en's side should be in a mess. Do you want to go back and take a look?"

Zhao Shu pondered for a moment, sighed, and said, "Forget it, what's good about it? Since it's over, why go back to the past place? Do you have any villages or something here? I want to buy something."

Hua Feng said: "Walk out of the gate and walk south and then into the area, there are some villages in the area, and there are basically many small shops there. Tonight, you can stay in my house. I will go back later and arrange a guest room for you."

"This is not suitable. I can just stay in the league for one night."

"You have come back with me and said you want to buy things. You must go there tomorrow."

Zhao Shu was silent for a while and slowly said, "Yes."

"So, it's the most convenient way to stay in my house."

"Okay, then it's better to obey your duty than respect."

Zhao Shu then went to the nearby village to buy some sacrificial items such as yellow paper and paper money, and bought some gifts as a visiting ceremony, so he went to Washington.

The next morning, in the mist, Zhao Shu got up early and went to the cemetery of Huafu. The cemetery of Huafu is in the southwest corner of Huafu, where there are dense birch trees planted. In the center of this birch forest, there are several neat rows of tombstones. Under the tombstone, the deceased people from Huafu were buried. Zhao Shu walked straight to a tombstone and inserted a knife and a scabbard straight into the land in front of the tombstone. Then he cleaned up the few weeds next to the tombstone, took out a piece of cloth from the bamboo basket he brought, wiped the dust on the tombstone, and the handwriting on the bluestone became clear: "The Tomb of the Love Girl Huaning".

Zhao Shu placed a bouquet of roses in front of Hua Ning's tomb, then lit a candle, drew a circle on the ground, lit the sacrificial supplies he bought, and while delivering paper money inside, he said to the tombstone: "Master, I'm here to see you. I don't know if you blame the knife I stabbed back then? After everyone's efforts, there are many less disputes in this world. I think if you are still there, you should be very pleased."

When the paper money in the circle was about to burn out, a voice came from behind, "I'm happy or not, I'll know after I've tried it!" I saw a sword shadow stabbing towards Zhao Shu quickly.

Zhao Shu avoided the sword sideways and pulled out the knife inserted on the ground in front of the grave. The knife was short, narrow and straight, and the hilt was a rose flower pattern. This knife was a Tang Heng sword called "Caiwei". In the thin mist, the other party's face could not be seen clearly, but this would not affect Zhao Shu's keen feeling at all. Zhao Shu approached the man, used the move "Sakura" of the flower dance technique, and swung five swords in a row to attack the opponent. The man blocked all the fierce five swords in a defensive manner, and disappeared.

Zhao Shu looked around, locked a left side in front, blocked the opponent's sword with the knife in his hand, and then waved the sword to counterattack. In the center of the birch forest, the sword light and sword shadows made a sound, and the two fought for a while. The man jumped back and stood facing each other with Zhao Shu. The man pushed the tip of the sword upwards, pressing the sword against the sword with his other hand, and instantly appeared, standing in front of Zhao Shu in the sequence of the Big Dipper. At first, the seven figures had the same posture, and then changed their postures and attacked Zhao Shu.

Zhao Shu quickly murmured in his heart, Tianshu, Yaoguang, Tianxuan, Kaiyang, Tianji, Yuheng.

The figures of each point attacked Zhao Shu with different moves. After one figure attacked, the figure would disappear. But the figures matched very well. After one figure attack, the figure had not disappeared, the next figure had already attacked Zhao Shu. Zhao Shu blocked Tianshu, Yaoguang, Tianxuan's first three figures, and the three figures of Kaiyang, Tianji, and Yuheng, which followed, launched an attack on him almost at the same time. Zhao Shu quickly retracted the knife, and then stabbed it like his surroundings at the shortest distance, using the tip of the knife to form a circle of thorny sword energy around him, like the stem of a rose flower. This move is the "rose" in the Huawu technique. The opponent made that move is the "peerless style" of the Hua family's exercises, which is in combination with the seven-star Beidou footwork. Zhao Shu knew that this move also had the last move of "Tianquan".

As expected, a giant ring sword energy came towards him. Zhao Shu used the flower dance step of the seven-star anti-seven-star flower dance method to avoid the last move. He stood behind the man and waved countless tiny sword winds to approach the man.

"Hmph! Dance alone among the flowers." The man sneered and said the name of this move. Then, he held the hilt of the sword and rotated it, and stopped all the flying sword wind. Zhao Shu used the Huawu step method again and appeared in the front of the man's right, lifting his foot and kicking the man's waist. After seeing Zhao Shu, the man did not stop at all. With the Beidou step, he instantly ran to the back of Zhao Shu and waved his sword at Zhao Shu. For a moment, the two of them continued to change their positions with each other with the Huawu step and Beidou step. If there was any slight slackness, the other party would seize the opportunity and become the defeated party.

When the two of them were fighting hard, they felt a figure approaching, so they decided to decide the outcome. The man held the hilt of the sword with both hands and gathered strength. He swung a sword in a simple and simple manner, but this move was extremely fast, even faster than the change speed of Huawuzhu and Beidouzhu. Zhao Shu lowered his body, dived like lightning, held the knife in one hand, tightened his arms, and quickly stabbed the man.

Jian Xin shouted: "Afeng! Zhao Shu!" and saw that Hua Feng's sword had pressed against Zhao Shu's neck, and the tip of Zhao Shu's knife was only a slight difference from Hua Feng's belly.

"What a 'thunderclap'."

"What a 'real but not gorgeous'."

The two of them put away their weapons and Hua Feng said, "Although this Huawu exercise evolved from the Hua family's exercises, their tricks are not inferior to the Hua family's exercises."

Zhao Shu said: "It's mainly your aunt, Hua Xiaofu female hero is very powerful."

"I don't know what my aunt thought back then, but she was able to find a different approach from the Hua family's martial arts and create this Huawu martial arts."

"It must be an experience."

Hua Feng turned his head and looked at Jian Xin over there and said, "Jian Xin, why are you here?"

Jian Xin walked over and said hurriedly: "What happened, Yu'er is gone."

Zhao Shu asked: "Yu'er is gone? What's going on?"

Jian Xin said, "Let's talk while walking." The three of them walked out of the woods together.

After listening to what Jian Xin said, Hua Feng analyzed: "In other words, when Long Zhan talked to Mrs. Zhou, Yu'er disappeared."

Jian Xin replied: "It should be."

Hua Feng asked: "So did anything happen before them?"

Jian Xin wondered, "What does it mean?"

Hua Feng said: "In theory, Yu'er would not disappear from the carriage for no reason. If she was kidnapped, even her senior brother would not be able to do anything silently in public."

Jian Xin said: "Then I don't know."

Zhao Shu understood what Hua Feng said and said, "Will Yu'er see anything good on the road? Long Zhan didn't buy it for him, and then he sneaked over while Long Zhan was not paying attention."

Hua Feng asked, "Isn't Yu'er a road fool?"

Zhao Shu said: "I don't think so. Yu'er is very smart. Even if she doesn't know the way back to the inn, she will find the way back to the inn through other ways."

Hua Feng said: "That's it. I think it's something that happened before Long Zhan talked to Mrs. Zhou. Let's go to the Prince Consort's Mansion to find Zhentian and the others."

The three of them rode on a fast horse and ran towards the Prince Consort's Mansion. When they arrived at the Prince Consort's Mansion, the gate was open. The three of them walked in directly and saw Zhentian talking about the situation with several people. Among them was Elder Hu of the Vowing Jiang League. Elder Hu saw Hua Feng and signaled to Hua Feng. Hua Feng came over and asked, "How is the discussion?"

Elder Hu said: "Just just now, Zhentian has already mentioned the child's appearance and figure. He arranged a few people to go all the way."

Ouyang Lan was still shouting, saying, "I think it was the woman who hid Yu'er, so she should be arrested for trial."

Hanfeng said, "Well. I think Alan is right. It's probably impossible to escape that woman. But speaking of it, where did Brother Han go for such a big thing? If he is here, he will definitely have an idea."

Liu Zhan said: "Old Han entered the palace this morning, and I don't know what happened."

Yun Kai comforted Ouyang Lan and said, "Sister Lan, don't worry, I have arranged for someone to go and search. Although the capital is big, it's still okay for us to find someone."

Ouyang Lan was restless, "I said that. But for so long, I didn't even have any news."

Hua Feng said: "Just just now, my sister-in-law said that Mrs. Zhou should be arrested for trial. I really have something to ask Long Zhan."

Zhentian said: "Long Zhan and Weimin and others took people to Yu'er and didn't see each other, so why don't I ask someone to call them."

Hua Feng said: "Okay. Call them here and let them tell me the situation in detail. See if there is anything missing."

Li Zhentian asked someone to call Long Zhan and Mrs. Zhou to the Prince Consort's Mansion. Although Zhou Weimin's father was an official, he was only a sixth-rank small official. She had never been to the place like the Prince Consort's Mansion. In addition, Yu'er's affairs have always lingered in his heart, so he came to everyone in fear. When he saw Yun Kai and Liu Zhan, he knelt down and saluted, and said stammeringly: "Blessing...wish...wishing...wishing...wishing...wishing...wishing...wishing."

Yun Kai said, "Get up. You can tell me about the matter at that time in detail."

"Let my son tell me."

Long Zhan said the matter again, and Zhao Shu asked: "Did you have anything happened before?"

Long Zhan recalled, "Before... by the way! When we stopped buying mung bean cakes, he bumped into a girl and dropped a few pieces of pastries. He was reluctant at that time and insisted on the girl paying him a compensation. I looked at it, it didn't look like that girl, so let it go."

Hua Feng asked: "What's next?"

"After that girl's mother came, and then they left."

Hua Feng pondered for a moment: "Do you remember the girl's appearance or what clothes she was wearing?"

"The girl is about the same size as me, probably she is ten years old. She and her mother are wearing dark blue coarse cloth clothes, her clothes are a little torn, and she has several patches."

Hua Feng said to Hu Ling: "Old Hu, give instructions to those who are looking for people to see if he can find the two people Long Zhan said."

"Okay. I'll continue to order now."

Li Zhentian said at this time: "I think I still have to report this matter to an official. We will naturally have some inconveniences when we look for it ourselves."

Yun Kai said, "You haven't reported to the official yet!"

Li Zhentian said: "This is not a hurry, I forgot. Zhao Shu, go to the county government to report to an official."
