In view of the continuous heavy rain and the illness of the private school teacher, the disciples had not gone to the private school for three days. Therefore, at dawn, Jiang Wen called all the disciples up and came to the side hall of Lei Mansion to give lectures.
Taking advantage of the anger after getting up, Jiang Wen simply played the role himself and sat on the red sandalwood comb-backed chair in the side hall, preparing to see whether the apprentices had worked hard these days.
"Wen Ding..."
He glanced at Hong Wending first and casually named the other person, but then he thought of this child, who seemed to have gotten up earlier than him and went outside to practice at dawn. He quickly closed his mouth and looked at the small stone next to him.
"small stone……"
Xiao Shitou was eating well and sleeping soundly, and he was the one who pulled him out of the bed. However, Jiang Wen then thought about it and thought that it was not appropriate for him to be in seclusion in the sword sealing retreat recently. It would not be convenient for him to call Xiao Shitou out and teach him external skills. He suddenly thought
After hesitating for a moment, the words on his lips also changed.
"...You two, go to the side and memorize the Thousand-Character Essay a hundred times."
If you can't do it in martial arts, then you can do it in literature. What a big deal.
Hong Wen'an, who looked calm, and Xiao Shi, who looked confused, walked side by side and recited the text loudly in front of the flower wall. The sound of reading aloud suddenly sounded. Lei Laohu, who was suddenly awakened, opened the window and was about to curse, but took a closer look.
But he stepped back happily, as if thinking of his son who was studying in Guangxi.
The small garden next to the window was battered by the wind and rain, and the rainwater gathered into a curtain and beat on the bluestone steps. Fu Ningdie, who was gloating about his misfortune, secretly turned his head to look out the window to enjoy himself, and was immediately discovered by Jiang Wen.
"Ningdie, come to the front."
Jiang Wen's eyes narrowed, and he immediately locked the target and called his young apprentice to him, "Have you practiced well recently? Tell Master honestly."
Seeing Fu Ningdie hemming and hawing, Jiang Wen didn't hesitate. He grabbed her arm and hit her with the internal energy of the Nine Yang Divine Art from the same source. He followed her pulse and slowly frowned.
stand up.
"Huh? Does this count as hard work?"
Fu Ningdie raised her little head and glanced at Jiang Wen. She found that his expression was neither relaxed nor serious, so she cautiously defended: "Why doesn't it count..."
These words made Jiang Wen choke. He turned around and closed his eyes, imitating the old-fashioned teacher, and lowered his eyes with a complicated expression.
In fact, judging from the depth of his inner strength that he just detected, Fu Ningdie doesn't seem to be slacking off.
After all, she is a little prodigy who can memorize elementary school textbooks at the age of six. Studying hard in rote books is a matter of tempering her character. Therefore, although her character is naughty, she is not lazy. At this time, practicing boring internal skills will get twice the result with half the effort. Two or three
It will be a happy month to enter the country.
But the problem is that Fu Ningdie practices the Nine Yang Magic Skill.
This Kung Fu is magical and extraordinary. Once you get started, your internal energy will be self-generated and you will be able to integrate with all things. Then you will be able to move when you walk, sit or lie down. In the later stages, your internal energy will surge faster and faster, almost to the point of being endless. Ordinary fists and feet can also produce great power.
Just like the Holy Fire Kung Fu spread in the Ming Zun Sect, the good thing about this Kung Fu is that as long as you use the right method, you can get started very quickly. Otherwise, like the Red Lotus Mother, all the bones and tendons will be finalized, and they will miss the golden age before starting to practice.
Under such circumstances, it is absolutely impossible to reach the level of the world's top masters within ten years.
But now, even several Liuding goddesses have reached the realm of three yangs and can steadily suppress ordinary warriors with their internal skills.
From the beginning, Fu Ningdie had her own pure Qi of the Nine Yangs as a guide. Once she practiced, she was in a commanding position and avoided many detours. It is normal to improve her realm quickly. The only thing she lacked was
The accumulated precipitation over time only broadens the Qi sea and Dantian.
Therefore, according to Jiang Wen's calculations, even if Fu Ningdie is running on his own, the progress of his idle cultivation should now reach the level between Three Yang and Four Yang, and he is expected to reach the realm of Five Yang within ten months. How can Fu Ningdie
Even if Die was not lazy, his progress would not be any faster than just hanging up...
Jiang Wen had some doubts. Could it be that life was too comfortable and there was no opportunity for her to break through? Should this girl live a harder life?
Disciples pay attention to teaching students in accordance with their aptitude. Hong Wending and Xiao Shitou's learning routes are set, and they only need to follow the steps step by step, because compared with Fu Ningdie, who receives much attention every day, Jiang Wen inevitably seems to favor one over the other.
But Fu Ningdie and Yuan Ziyi are the same kind of people, and they have always been more thoughtful than ordinary people. Don't you see that Master Wu Mei worked so hard to get her to concentrate on her internal skills, but she just pieced together a bunch of miscellaneous kung fu. I don't know what she will do.
I won’t make my nun master mad to death.
Therefore, in Jiang Wen's teaching plan, it is very important for Fu Ningdie to reach the Five Yang realm, so that even if she continues to study in a haphazard way in the future, her martial arts foundation will not be affected.
The so-called five yang refers to the yang qi of the five internal organs, namely heart yang, lung yang, spleen yang, liver yang, and kidney yang. According to the saying in "Su Wen·Tang Ye Li Li Lun", "open the gate of ghosts, cleanse the house, and the essence is with the time"
"Taking it, the five yangs have been clothed, and the five internal organs are loosened and purified." Once the five yangs in the internal organs can be combined, the whole body can be warmed, and the cold winter will not feel cold, and it can resist and limit the harm of the invasion of yin evil.
The original book of "Nine Yang Manual" has four volumes. The first two volumes are easy to understand. If you understand them all, you will probably reach the realm of Five Yangs. When Zhang Wuji practiced "Nine Yang Magic" in the valley, he probably finished the second volume.
In less than half of the stage, the sinister internal power of Xuanming Divine Palm was completely suppressed and eliminated, and the chronic diseases in the body for many years were cured.
"You need to practice hard next, you know. Once the five yangs spread in your body, your immunity will be greatly improved, and ordinary wind and cold viruses will not be able to hurt you from now on."
After saying that, Jiang Wen lowered her head and injected another stream of Nine Yang Qi into her body to replenish her losses over the past few days. It was estimated that it would be enough for her to digest it to the point where her internal energy could stimulate the Five Yangs and become a self-contained Qi.
After giving Fu Ningdie some advice, Jiang Wen glanced at the pouring rain outside and sighed, "If you stay in this damn weather for too long, even good people will get sick from the moisture."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The heavy rain in recent days cannot help wealthy businessmen like Lei Huhu, nor can it shake the big houses in Xiguan with blue bricks and black tiles, but it has had a huge impact on the desolate and dilapidated rammed earth buildings inside and outside Guangzhou.
Threats, from time to time there are reports of houses collapsing due to flooding, and the endless beggars' shacks outside the Guandi Temple are even more inevitable. These days, the beggars have dispersed and wailed. The "grand occasion" of the past has long been lost, but I am afraid that only
It will create an even more shocking "unprecedented event" in the future.
Yuan Ziyi was particularly enthusiastic this time, and encouraged Luo Shuang'er and Luo Shuang'er to spend money for disaster relief. They each took a lot of money from home to resettle these urban refugees who had nowhere to go. Anyway, Lei Laohu had made a fortune recently, so he didn't feel bad.
Mr. Luo also loved his daughter the most and never asked about right or wrong.
But the problem needs to be seen clearly. The main reason for this situation is not only the heavy rain for days, but also the unexpected order of the Pingnan Palace to close the city. For three days in a row, no one could leave the city to escape the disaster, and relief supplies could not be transported in.
The problems naturally accumulated and became more and more severe.
"Master, are you worried about Sister Ziyi?" Fu Ningdie actually guessed Jiang Wen's thoughts as soon as she opened her mouth.
"How do you know?" Jiang Wen asked in surprise.
Fu Ningdie answered confidently: "I saw Master, after you woke us up, you knocked on Sister Ziyi's door again. There must be something you want to see her for."
"Great reasoning, I won't do it next time."
Jiang Wen touched his chin and said, "She's not here so early in the morning. It's really a headache. The situation is so unclear recently and she runs out every day. I really don't know what I'm thinking. Why don't you learn to imitate Miss Yan's maturity and stability?"
"
This is not because Jiang Wen is trying to push him away, but this is the fact.
He also went out to do chivalry without saying goodbye. Although Yan Yongchun seemed to be reckless and impulsive, in fact, he only focused on Zhangqiugang Village. He always kept the news in his heart. That's why he hurried to the Nanhai Ancient Temple as soon as he heard that Japanese pirates were in and out.
.
Under such circumstances, Yan Yongchun has both prestige and connections in Zhangqiugang Village. The villagers are all grateful for her kindness, so the plan to prevent and resist Japanese pirates is feasible. It is obviously the result of her careful consideration - such as
Yan Wing Chun never had any wild ideas and planned to break into Prince Pingnan's Mansion to avenge the unjust deaths of the villagers.
There are no such boring people in this world, right?
But what Yuan Ziyi did was just out of the blue. He rushed to Xiguan to provide porridge for disaster relief. It was inexplicable. He even roped in Luo Shuang'er, who had no experience in the world of martial arts, to discuss the issue. Jiang Wen seriously doubted her real purpose.
I want to pretend to be an old man in front of this sister.
But what is the real Lao Jianghu doing now?
For three days, Jiang Wen hasn't met any other martial arts comrades. These people who originally walked through the streets seemed to have disappeared from the world. Teahouses, restaurants, gambling houses and pawn shops, Qinlou Chu Pavilion, and Tianjie ghost market were the places where people in the martial arts world loved to hang out.
Wherever they were, there is no trace of them now. There are no more bad guys wandering around in the market with swords in their hands and calling their friends, as if they have completely disappeared into the black hole in the city of Guangzhou.
When Jiang Wen found out about this matter, it had already passed the prime time for investigation. The main factor was the continuous heavy rain. The cold water vapor that covered the whole city seemed to bring dark power, covering every corner of Guangzhou city.
The streets were isolated into isolated islands with no communication, and only vague signals came from the fog.
According to the news from Yuan Ziyi, even the number of martial arts people staying in Jindao Luo Mansion has been inexplicably reduced. Luo Shuang'er said that the number of people eating every day is not as good as the previous one. Even Zhou Long, who seems to be honest, is actually
The cunning guy has also disappeared.
All this is so weird, as if the one-night disappearance of Southern Shaolin is about to happen again.
"Miss Yuan should be fine. After all, she is accompanied by the eldest daughter of the Luo family, and there will definitely be no shortage of people to secretly protect her entourage. But the current situation is not getting better at all. Our Wuyi sect has been in the limelight a few days ago. I'm worried
Someone can't do anything to me, my 'gentleman's sword', so I'll start with you three."
Today, Jiang Wen can admit his nickname gracefully. Considering that he has always had a good mentality, when a person accepts his nickname, he is invincible!
Anyway, as long as he deliberately doesn't think about his old friend Lin Zhennan and his apprentice Lin Pingzhi in Fuzhou City, he can eat well and sleep well, and occasionally he will take out the "Nine Nether Scriptures" and "Qiyi Sword Qi" to blindly
Read blindly to pass the boring time.
Fu Ningdie sat on the chair next to Jiang Wen as if she didn't understand, dangling her feet and looking at the sky melancholy, recalling the days when she wandered around the city and ate all kinds of delicious food.
"Master, when do you think it will clear up? I haven't been out for a long time."
Jiang Wen thought for a moment and shook his head, but did not answer.
Today is the fifth day of February.
This day was originally scheduled to be the day for the heroes' banquet after Luo Yuantong's Golden Basin Washing Ceremony. However, as the martial arts people's whereabouts became more and more mysterious, Jiang Wen still had a choice whether he should attend the banquet or not.
Jiang Wen specially tested the disciples today because he wanted to instruct the three children to be vigilant today. As the head of the Wuyi Sect, he had to go to the banquet alone to find out what was going on in Guangzhou City.
What.
"Master Jiang, someone is looking for you outside the house..."
The housekeeper of Lei Mansion suddenly came from Qingyun Lane, probably specifically looking for Jiang Wen's traces, but he was hesitant to speak and refused to elaborate.
Jiang Wen came back from his deep thoughts and said curiously: "Then just invite the guests in. The side hall is only a few steps away from the main door? Do you want me to invite them myself?"
But the housekeeper replied with some embarrassment: "No, no, you have misunderstood, Master Jiang. That's not what I meant... It's just that the other person is a beggar. I'm worried that if he comes here by false name, he will bother you..."
Is there a beggar looking for you?
Jiang Wen stood up from the comb-backed chair in an instant, clapped his hands and thought that things were about to turn around. The person who would come to find him at this time was probably Fan Xinghan, who was staying near the Gongyuan in the east of the city!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! I tried to find Fan Xinghan several times yesterday, but the servants of Lei Mansion said that the outside of the Gongyuan in the east of the city was deserted, and no sign of the tall beggar was found. The surrounding residents also said that they had not seen him.
This person, so Jiang Wen had to secretly leave a mark, hoping that the other party would see it when he came back.
Fan Xinghan had been missing for two or three days before, and he might have gone there secretly to inquire about the news. Now that the investigation has yielded the results, he has come to share them with him.
"What are you doing standing there in a daze? Hurry up and invite me!"
The housekeeper hurriedly ran back to the door, and within a quarter of an hour, a figure came in panic from outside the flower hall.
This man was also dressed in tatters and was dressed like a beggar, but his figure was far less tall than Fan Xinghan's. The hem of his clothes was stained with mud and sewage. It was dripping to the ground, leaving a dark streak on the blue bricks.
Due to the peculiar smell and stains, it was obvious that he had come on foot in the heavy rain. No wonder the housekeeper hesitated and refused to let him in.
"Master Jiang, hurry up and leave! We can't stay in this city!"
The other party stumbled into the side hall and lifted up his sloppy long hair that was wetted by the rain. Fu Ningdie was so frightened that she jumped off the chair and ran away. Only then did Jiang Wen see that he was blind in one eye.
Ugly appearance.
"Du Laosan, why is it you?"
It turned out that the person who came was not Fan Xinghan, but Du Laosan, one of the beggar leaders of the Guandi Society. He looked quite miserable at this time, as if he had rolled and fallen in the muddy water. His clothes were torn where his eyes were, and his hair was knotted.
The ruthless, decisive and ambitious look in Guandi Temple was gone.
Du Laosan didn't wait for his breath to catch his breath before he hurriedly continued: "Listen to me first, take the disciples and leave quickly before dark, otherwise it will be too late!"
The fish pond in the small garden is filled with lotus leaves, and the raindrops rolling and jumping on the green leaves are very lively. However, the small koi carp, which is not full of feet, is frightened by the boiling water and has no place to stay, so it has to hide under the leaves and shake up and down in panic.
Yet at a loss.
The fish playing on the lotus leaves was originally a beautiful sight, but at this time the clouds were heavy and the rain was heavy, and the little fish was suffocating in the water, so it had to poke its mouth out of the water from time to time. From Jiang Wen's perspective, this picture of Du Lao San
The horrified faces were exactly the same as those of these small fishes with their big mouths poking out of the water, completely unable to face the violent storm outside the small world they knew well.
"Du Laosan, whenever big things happen, you must stay calm and don't be so flustered. You might as well tell Jiang in detail and I will help you think of a way out."
Seeing Jiang Wen sitting firmly on the mountain, Du Laosan finally managed to gather some energy, suppress the uneasiness in his heart and plan to finish the matter. However, after thinking about it carefully, he had so many things to think about that he didn't know how to express it. For a long time,
Then he said in a hoarse voice.
"Daxia Jiang is worthy of being a man who does great things..."
Du Laosan gritted his teeth and finally told everything he had learned.
"Do you... know about the assassination of Prince Pingnan?"
Jiang Wen frowned, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning. Then they all returned to a calmness like annihilation. He stood up and took two steps. Suddenly he clasped his hands and turned back to look at Du Laosan.
"...Shang Kexi was assassinated? Is this the news you heard about?"
Du Laosan nodded hurriedly: "Exactly. I finally found out the news. Otherwise, how could such a small person in the Guandi Society know these secrets..."
Seeing that Jiang Wen's expression remained unchanged, Du Laosan continued to talk about the news he had learned.
Two days ago, Shang Kexi went to Guangxiao Temple to worship the Buddha and invited Zen master Ziran, the host of the temple, to discuss Buddhism. Suddenly, an agile assassin appeared in the temple and killed twelve armored guards from outside the door, aiming directly at Shang.
What a joy to behold.
Guangxiao Zen Temple was still crowded with tourists that day. It was gratifying that Zen Master Tianran specially opened an idle courtyard to entertain guests. The menacing assassin had just been blocked by the bodyguards, and several assassins with extraordinary skills climbed in from the walls on both sides. They attacked from both sides.
The sudden assassination caught Shang Kexi off guard and he almost died on the spot.
Fortunately, Zen Master Tianran came to the rescue at the critical moment and blocked the assassin's close attack with his body. Then a Zen Master heard the sound and rushed out from the other courtyard. He waved his Zen staff and fought against several assassins. Finally, enough time was delayed to allow people outside the other courtyard to get the chance.
News. When the group of Shang family soldiers who were trapped by the suspicious soldier's plan came together and protected the family master with shields, Shang Kexi's danger of death was driven away.
"Prince Pingnan is said to have been slashed on the arm, and Zen Master Tianran, who blocked the sword, was injured to the heart, and the blood is flowing in the basin. He is still unconscious. Fortunately, he was compassionate, and it is gratifying that he still begged for help when he was dying.
Don't go on a killing spree and say that he is responsible for all the crimes, so the matter has not been announced to the public..."
After Du Laosan said this, the cold sweat on his forehead was as wet as rain. He looked at everything as if it was overturned, "Prince Pingnan has gone back to recuperate, but everyone knows that the matter will never end here!
My subordinate Hanako saw someone arresting martial arts people last night, and he would kill them if they encountered any resistance. This must be the handiwork of Shang Fu!"
Jiang Wen knew that his reaction to Shang Kexi's assassination was not because he was as timid as a mouse.
If I were thousands of miles away at this time, I could naturally take the news of the assassination of the old thief Shang Kexi as accompaniment and have a great time coming to the realization. But now I am still in Guangzhou, so I can just forget about the assassination of Shang Kexi.
It turned into a shocking event.
In the seventh year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, King Pingnan was still happy. Geng Jimao, the king of Jingnan, entered Guangdong and besieged Guangzhou for nine months. According to the records of Dai Yunye's "Xing in Yangqiu" at that time, the whole people of Guangzhou resisted and defended the city.
, the men went to the city, the women paid them, and the Qing soldiers surrounded the city. The two sides launched an extremely fierce offensive and defensive battle.
Jin Yong's ancestor Zha Jizuo's "Cui Wei Lu" also records, "The two kings of the Northern Division spared no effort in attacking Guangzhou, with Du Yonghe supervising Qin; deputy general Zhang Yue commanded the land forces, and Wu Wenmin commanded the navy. They fought from behind the city, which was a great victory.
"
This situation caught both the Qing court and King Shang Geng off guard.
Originally, the Qing court judged that the rebellion in the south was just a matter of some military generals on both ends of the spectrum waiting for a price, hoping to make some money when the Ming Committee failed to decide on the expedition to the south. After all, the culprit of the rebellion, the former Guangzhou Admiral Li Chengdong, had already taken credit for his achievements.
However, he was held hostage by Tong Yangjia, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and was dissatisfied. He had quite a disagreement with his words.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But when the two kings entered Guangdong and approached the city, they discovered that even if Li Chengdong led his troops to Jiangxi to rebel alone, the preparations for staying in the city were more rigorous than they imagined.
Yan did not exist, but the rebels relied on Yicheng to fight, causing heavy losses to the careless Qing troops.
According to the "Genealogy of the Shang Family", the corpses of the Qing invaders were piled under the siege site, and soon they were almost as high as the city wall. But on one side was the land and water city that refused to surrender, and on the other side was Dorgon holding a military order.
The prince personally led his troops to attack the city to no avail. Shang Kexi's younger brother, General Shang Kefu of the Qing Dynasty, was shot to death at the gate of the city. Even Shang Kexi, who supervised the battle, was in danger.
Finally, after nine months of siege, Shang Kexi bribed the traitors in the city. Taking advantage of the low tide of the Pearl River and the shallow water of the moat, he used wood to pave the bottom of the moat so that the water only reached the belly of the horse. The Qing cavalry was able to successfully cross the moat, and for a while, thousands of people
After making noise, Geng Jimao took the lead and led troops to swarm into the city through the gap in the city wall and began a brutal massacre.
"Manuscripts of the History of the Qing Dynasty" records: "Jimao and Kexi captured Guangzhou, angered the people to defend it, and wiped out all the young men." Under the threat of his life, Shang Kexi burst out with extremely terrifying killing intent. After the city was broken, the Qing army was slaughtered with blood.
The massacre in Guangzhou lasted for seven days in total, covering forty miles to the left and right, and everyone in sight was slaughtered.
Eighteen people were killed and corpses were filled in the Liumai Canal. Hundreds of thousands of people in the city, calling for brothers and sisters, looking for their sons and masters, fled in panic. Their cries shook the heaven and the earth. The terrified people hid in the Liumai Canal.
The former was not dead but the latter had been filled in, with squirming limbs everywhere. Those who were lucky enough to leave the city encountered heavy rain, and a sudden flash flood drowned six to seven thousand people in an instant. Almost all the east and west walls of Guangzhou City were filled with corpses.
Such horrific killings only lasted ten years, which almost caused the population of Guangzhou to wither. To this day, there is no family that has lived there for five generations, which has become an eternal pain for Guangzhou people. Now Shang Kexi has been killed again in the peaceful city of Guangzhou.
Someone assassinated someone, and the assassin almost succeeded. No one knew what terrible things this person would do!
Under such circumstances, it is no wonder that Zen Master Tianran was seriously injured and had to vomit blood to persuade Shang Kexi not to kill again, hoping that all the blame would be placed on him alone.
Jiang Wen took a deep breath and finally understood where his worries over the past few days came from, but he was even more worried about whether the people in the city would be affected by this incident and the original Gengyin tragedy would happen again.
Anger arose spontaneously, and he only felt that the ancient bronze sword in the scabbard was shaking continuously, and a sword intention surged from the bottom of his heart, which was about to turn into the roar of dragons and tigers across the sky. Jiang Wen was worried about the invisible danger at hand.
, and also angry at these martial arts people who do things without measure.
"There are not many people with this skill in the city, and I don't know if the assassin has been caught..."
Since ancient times, assassins have not been tolerated. Therefore, when traveling, they often swallow their bodies and abandon their wives and children. Even if they succeed, they have to gouge out their eyes and disembowel themselves, and commit suicide with their swords, just to maintain loyalty and righteousness without involving innocent people. Nowadays,
These assassins know how to imitate Nie Zheng and Bai Hong's execution, so why don't they know how to hide their identities? It's gratifying to assassinate in public, but you really are yours!
"Dr. Jiang, I have also heard about this. Prince Shang's Mansion has arrested a large number of martial arts people and tortured and interrogated them every day. But so far, no one has admitted that he did this."
Du Laosan added hesitantly, "But thinking about it, the assassin's skills can kill twelve soldiers in a row. With such strong martial arts, there is no way he will be easily arrested and imprisoned..."
Jiang Wen said coldly: "You have great martial arts skills but no brains, right? How dare you escape if you fail to assassinate someone? I would have committed suicide a long time ago to apologize. Forget it, do you know who has been arrested now?"
The Red Flower Club, the Qingqi Gang, the Tiedan Village, the Xinghan Beggar Gang, the Songyang Sect, the Nanhai Martial Arts School, the Fuwei Escort Branch, the five sects and eight sects in Guangdong, the large and small comrades in eastern Sichuan, and the scattered people from all over the world. These are all because of
If the martial arts people gathered in Guangzhou for the Golden Pen Washing Ceremony are all arrested or killed because of being implicated in the assassination, then this matter will be no small matter.
Therefore, Jiang Wen had to inquire clearly about emotions and reasons before he could make certain decisions.
But after hearing this question, Du Laosan immediately showed a troubled expression.
Although the intelligence system of the Guandi Society is pervasive, due to the status of a beggar, it can only operate in the streets and villages, and it is impossible to easily pry out information from the upper levels.
In the past, the upper level relied on Wu Liuqi, the chief military officer of Raozhen, to pass on and supplement information. Now with Wu Liuqi's disappearance, the Guandi Society has become half-blind, so major events like Shang Kexi's assassination can only be carried out.
It took two or three days for the meeting to be found out.
Du Laosan hesitated and said: "Master Jiang, I don't know about the others, but I heard that Fan Xinghan was arrested and is now being held in a separate courtyard of Guangxiao Temple..."
He finally told the truth.
As a fierce dragon crossing the river who wants to compete for the leadership of the Guandi Society, Fan Xinghan is naturally closely guarded by the local beggar gang and tracked day and night. Only with this level of day and night surveillance can he know whether the opponent is being caught in the vast city of Guangzhou.
Catching them instead of drifting away in the night.
Therefore, what Du Lao San just said about arresting martial arts people and killing them without mercy is probably what he saw in Fan Xinghan.
"Tell the truth how Fan Xinghan was arrested so quickly. Don't hide anything." Jiang Wen said expressionlessly.
Du Laosan originally wanted to be vague, but when he caught a glimpse of Jiang Wen's eyes, he felt the sharpness of the sword and immediately shuddered and quickly explained.
"Master Jiang, this incident is really an accident... Wasn't the shack outside the gate of Guandi Temple destroyed by the water? A group of Huazi wanted to move outside my Lotus Temple last night, and they happened to encounter Fan Xinghan and a fierce fight..."
The Lianhua Temple where Du Laosan stayed and the Gongyuan where Fan Xinghan stayed are both in the east of the city, so there is indeed a possibility of stopping by.
According to Du Laosan, a beggar saw Fan Xinghan's men confronting several royal warriors last night. Both sides were uncompromising with their swords and spears. Fan Xinghan stood in the distance with his hands behind his back and said something angrily. After a while, he started to move.
But not long after, another masked master suddenly appeared, killing Fan Xinghan's men with exquisite moves, and even put a knife on his neck.
"The sword technique is so sharp? Could it be that your men misjudged it?"
Jiang Wen used the word "subordinate", but he didn't bother with the evasiveness in Du Laosan's words and directly asked for the master's message.
However, these beggars were hungry and cold every day, did not eat much fresh vegetables, and generally suffered from severe night blindness. Anyway, they could not clearly see the appearance of the knife master. They did not know their age or characteristics at all. They only remembered that the man was tall and had superb knife skills.
.
But that's enough.
There are many such masters of swordsmanship in Guangzhou. What is suspicious is Fan Xinghan’s attitude.
Based on Jiang Wen's understanding of Fan Xinghan, he was a single-minded person who did things with certainty and no flexibility. Previously, he had just taught his apprentice a lesson, but Fan Xinghan persisted in regaining his face and sold himself to others.
After losing his face, he thought of himself as a friend. Now that all the disciples he brought have been killed, he should not be so easy and just capture him without hesitation.
unless……
This master is also an acquaintance of his, and he is unwilling to take action because he feels guilty?!
"Is it really Luo Yuantong..."
Jiang Wen murmured to himself, and immediately remembered what Zhou Long had told him, that Luo Yuantong was suspected to be the master behind Shang Kexi. The masked master deliberately concealed his identity. Could it be that Old Man Luo broke the golden basin to wash his hands for this matter?
The rule is, do you have to mask yourself and make enemies with people in the martial arts world?
Du Laosan nodded with a trembling look on his face. He had already guessed this possibility, but he hid it in his heart and did not dare to say it, because both the name and the things behind him represented a taboo in this city.
"Master Jiang... I have a vague guess that our Wu Longtou was also captured by the old hero Luo... because Youhuazi once saw the whereabouts of a similar person in Luo Mansion..."
All suspicions are shrouded in Luo Yuantong. It is shameful to say that Jiang Wen and Luo Yuantong have a vague friendship. They have heard about each other's names and deeds, but they have never seen each other's skills, so they only
You can make a wild guess here.
The biggest problem lies in this confusing assassination incident. Who exactly Shang Kexi was assassinated by, what the assassin’s purpose was, and where he is hiding now are all still an unsolved mystery.
The anti-Qing people in the world are like crucian carp crossing the river, and among them, the Tiandihui is the most powerful and the most radical in their actions. The chief rudder of the Honghuahui who is currently in the city has no idea, and he will not dare to do such a thing.
Something?
"Du Laosan, you came here today because you are worried that I have a good reputation and have been arrested for no reason in the past two days?"
Jiang Wen asked.
Du Laosan said with some embarrassment, "Dr. Jiang, please calm down. I came to report to you because I was desperate and wanted to see if you could get out of the city."
"Leave the city? What city?"
Jiang Wen said in surprise, "Not only will I not leave the city, I also plan to find someone to catch up with."
Du Laosan was so frightened that he quickly lowered his voice and said: "Master Jiang, think again. Today's Guangxiao Temple is surrounded by water and heavily guarded. It is difficult to fly. It is also equipped with Hongyi's sharp firearms. Even if you have world-class martial arts, you may not be able to do it."
You can get benefits there..."
The beggar leader tried to persuade him earnestly, but Jiang Wen obviously didn't listen to a word. Instead, he reached out to recruit two male apprentices. You must know that Jiang Wen is not only a famous martial arts figure, but also a special envoy sent by King Jingnan. The Shang family also
Don't dare to do it in the open.
