When did the spring flowers and autumn moon come, how much do we know about the past? There was an east wind in the small building last night, and the motherland could not bear to look back. In the bright moon.
The carved railings and jade masonry should still be there, but the beauty has changed. I ask you how much sorrow you can have, just like a river of spring water flowing eastward.
In the ninth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, it was the middle of winter, when everything was chilled by the north wind and auspicious snow mixed with howling. The snow stopped at noon, and there was a thick layer on the ground. Pedestrians would leave deep footprints when they stepped on the ground.
On the official road of Nanyang County, pedestrians began to take advantage of the first lull in the heavy snow to walk around. Some were visiting relatives and friends, carrying strong drinks to keep out the cold, humming a tune, and walking with their heads bowed. There were also traveling businessmen and students who were out, taking advantage of the cold weather.
The snow has stopped, and we are on our way in a hurry, hoping to go home and reunite before the Chinese New Year.
A white horse, carrying a man covered in snow-white on its back, was galloping on the official road. The horse was panting heavily, and its breath was like bursts of white mist. It must be that after a long run, the horse began to feel a little bit nervous.
Exhausted.
Riding on the horse is a strange man: this man is all white, even his eyebrows and hair are white. The strange man is wearing a white cloak, his eyes are getting more and more blurred. Even though he is walking on the snow, it is difficult to hide his tired appearance.
However, when the strange man approached on horseback, he discovered that the strange man was not pure white. There were bright red blood stains on his clothes, cuffs and corners of his mouth, so he looked a bit scary.
The strange man looked so scary that when the horse passed by passers-by, they all started to avoid him, fearing that the scary strange man would knock them down.
I don't know how much time passed, but the horse came to a pavilion. The strange man stopped, looked at a village not far away, and spat out a mouthful of blood. The blood spurted on the snow, like red plums but there were no red plums.
Her beauty only adds to the chill.
The weirdo quickly tapped several acupuncture points on his body, and the painful expression on his face gradually relaxed. The weirdo pinched the horse's belly, and the horse neighed, raised its hooves, and ran towards the village.
Two big men at the gate of the village, each holding a sword, watched nervously as the white horse rushed toward them, feeling extremely nervous.
From a distance of four to five feet, the man stretched out his hand and shouted loudly to stop: "Who is coming? Please dismount immediately and tell your name."
The weirdo ignored it and just kept urging the horse forward, as if he had no intention of stopping or even slowing down.
The big man said angrily: "Huh, you don't even look at Liujiazhai when you think it is a place. Is this a place for you to run wild?"
After the big man finished speaking, he winked at his companion, the two of them slashed across their chests, and then jumped up. One on the left and the other on the right, they slashed towards the weirdo with their swords.
The weirdo was also very good at martial arts. He didn't pay any attention to the big man and the two flat-handled swords. The weirdo slapped his palms on the saddle, lifted his feet off the saddle, jumped several feet high, and then put his feet a little on the two swords.
, his figure flashed in front of the two big men, and he was in front of the village gate in an instant.
Seeing that he couldn't stop the weirdo, the big man shouted a warning: "Someone is breaking into the village." At the same time, he and his companions immediately turned around, turned around and slashed at the weirdo's feet with their swords.
As soon as his feet landed on the ground, the weirdo stood up again and jumped to the village gate in the blink of an eye.
On top of it, he was about to continue rushing into the stronghold.
As soon as the big man shouted, the village was filled with people. A lot of people gathered in an instant and were about to surround the weirdo. The weirdo frowned, mumbled some strange words in his mouth, and jumped towards the top of the crowd.
go.
At this time, a spear whizzed out and stabbed directly at the weirdo. Seeing the fierce attack of the spear, the weirdo had to jump to avoid the spear, and at the same time struggled to rush into the stronghold.
What the weirdo didn't expect was that a figure flew up from behind the spear, and the figure just hit the weirdo. The man raised his foot and kicked the weirdo in the chest.
The weirdo was kicked to the ground. The man stretched out his hand, grabbed the end of the spear, pressed the head of the gun down, and pointed it directly at the weirdo's throat.
The person who came was about forty-four or five years old. He had a thick beard and a face with Chinese characters. He glared and said in an angry manner: "Is it you? Fifteen years ago, I ordered you not to set foot in the Central Plains. I didn't expect that fifteen years would pass. You can't wait." You have brought bad luck to me, Liujiazhai, but where is Hei Wuchang? Just ask him to come with you. I want to see if your kung fu has improved in the past fifteen years."
The weird man stood up and was extremely excited when he saw the visitor. His eyes were full of nervousness and he muttered: "Take me to see Liu Qiao."
The visitor was none other than Liuzhuang, the third boss of Liujiazhai. Seeing the strange man, Liuzhuang seemed to have no ill intentions and quickly asked: "Why do you want to see my elder brother?"
The weirdo suddenly looked sad and said: "It's too late, it's too late, take me to see Liuqiao quickly."
Liuzhuang was very surprised. At this moment, there was another bustle. Liuqiao separated from everyone and appeared in front of the weird man and said: "You are looking for me. You can say anything you want."
Liuqiao is still so strong and strong, with a dragon walking like a tiger and a tiger taking the wind. His slightly white beard and half-white hair still cannot conceal his majesty.
When the weirdo saw Liu Qiao, he was very excited. He turned around and rushed to Liu Qiao's side. He said with a sad face and choked with sobs: "Quickly, tell your benefactor that someone is coming to trouble him. My brother Hei Wuchang was also killed by them. I ran away for more than ten days before I got here, go and inform my benefactor." After the weirdo finished speaking, he fainted on the spot.
It turned out that this strange man was Bai Wuchang, the twin ghosts of the Western Regions fifteen years ago. Liu Qiao hurriedly asked the villagers to carry Bai Wuchang to the hall. After drinking a glass of hot water, Bai Wuchang's consciousness gradually recovered.
When Bai Wuchang saw Liu Qiao, he hurriedly said: "Go and inform your benefactor quickly. A group of masters from the Western Regions are joining forces with the Hu people to find some kind of military book. They are trying to bring bad luck to our benefactor."
Liu Qiao looked up to the sky and sighed, leaned over and asked: "My benefactor, are you talking about Xi Zhen and Xi Shaoxia? Do you know that Xi Shaoxia died fifteen years ago? We can see it with our own eyes. How should we tell him?" ?”
Bai Wuchang was stunned on the spot. He didn't want to believe that this was true, but when Liu Qiao said this, he had to believe it.
Bai Wuchang murmured for a while. No one knew what he was talking about, but judging from his expression, he seemed to be very sad and sad, but also helpless.
Liuqiao and Liuzhuang sighed softly. What they were sighing about was the battle at Fengyun Ridge fifteen years ago. Although they won, even though they stopped Qiu Lie and Guan Yue
plan, but they also lost their best brother Xi Zhen.
Bai Wuchang struggled to get up and walked to the door with a few staggering steps. The scene of the fight here in the past was still imprinted in his mind. At that time, Xi Zhen could have killed his brother with one palm, but he let himself live. Ten In the past five years, time has passed by suddenly, the past events are still vivid in my mind, and things and people here have changed even more.
Bai Wuchang came out of the door, turned around and said to Liu Qiao: "If my benefactor has a wife, please tell me about this, and they will definitely find my benefactor's family. Please also tell my benefactor's descendants that Bai Shaoqing has never broken his promise."
After saying that, Bai Wuchang raised his right palm and let out a mournful whistle. He hit his Heavenly Spirit Cap hard with his right palm and died instantly.
It was too late for Liu Qiao and others to stop him. Liu Zhuang bowed to Bai Wuchang and said, "You are an upright man because of your kindness from fifteen years ago. Liu Jiazhai admires him very much."
Bai Wuchang's mournful cry was still floating in the air. It was not until his death that everyone knew that Bai Wuchang's original name was Bai Shaoqing, but what about the Hei Wuchang who was killed for this matter? I'm afraid no one will even know his name until he dies.
Liuqiao ordered Liuzhuang to bring all the brothers back for discussion, and also ordered the villagers to bury Bai Wuchang lavishly and offer wine to worship him. The villagers of Liujiazhai have always been grateful to Xi Zhen's kindness. Today, after hearing the news that someone wanted to harm him, the crowd was even more excited.
They all expressed that they could not just sit idly by and ignore this matter.
Liu Qiao pondered for a while, and he also knew that he could not ignore this matter. Miss Feng had two children and they had been thinking about them for fifteen years, but the words Pei Feng said on Fengyun Ridge fifteen years ago were still in his ears.
"Thank you brothers for your help, but Xi Zhen left, and it was his martial arts that harmed him. I will definitely raise his children, but I will not let them learn martial arts again, even if they have to work as farmers in the countryside for the rest of their lives.
People will not let them learn martial arts. Brothers, don’t come to our mother and son in the future. From today on, we will no longer interfere with Jianghu affairs."
The words spoken fifteen years ago still ring in my ears. Miss Feng and the children may be hiding in a certain corner, so how can I find them?
When the seven brothers gathered together, everyone was talking to each other, but they all said they wanted to find Pei Feng and her son, but they had no idea how to find them.
Liu Qiao frowned. Seeing Liu Bian thinking deeply, he said loudly: "Junior brother, you have many plans. How do you think we should deal with what is happening now?"
Liu Bian pondered for a long time and replied: "Brothers and brothers, Xi Zhen and my Liujiazhai have a good relationship. It has been peaceful for fifteen years, but for some reason troubles occurred again fifteen years later. Now we can't stop those people's actions, but we
We can still find the three of them, mother and son. In my opinion, they must be in Yuanzhou Mansion or Jinling City or one of the two. We seven brothers have always been together in the world, but now it seems that we have to go separate ways to find them."
"The target of Jinling City is small. The eldest and second brothers can go to Jinling City to investigate. My third brother, my fifth brother, my sixth brother and my seventh brother will go to Yuanzhou Mansion to look for it. We will set off tomorrow and meet at Yuanzhou Mansion in a month. If we can find the best
Okay, if we can’t find it, we’ll discuss it later.”
Everyone praised the good deeds and went their separate ways, making an appointment to meet up tomorrow before setting off again.
