Section 3: Fang Xu

Yang Ling Yilin: "Someone is following!?" Among the three, Gu Xun has the deepest internal strength, Yang and Luo followed Gu Xun's gaze, only to see one person slowly walking out from behind the pavilion. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info The man was wearing a hat on his head, his face could not be seen clearly, and a long knife was tied to his back.

"Hmph, it's worthy of 'Cangjian Qingfeng', I just took a long breath, and I could find out. Admire, admire, admire. The person who came took off the hat, only to see a scar on a face with Chinese characters from the bottom of the eyes to the bottom of the cheeks, which was very terrifying.

Gu Xun knew the person and sighed: "It turned out to be 'Thousand Blades Breaking Waves', no wonder the Hidden Qi Kung Fu is so profound." He let go of the hand holding the sword and said slowly: "Old and talented, there is something I want to ask Brother Fang." ”

The person who came was Fang Xu, who sent the Hongjiu of Cangnan to make "a thousand blades breaking the waves".

Fang Xu said: "Brother Gu doesn't need to say much, Fang knows what you want to ask." I would like to advise the three of you, don't worry about the Qinglong Gang anymore, and don't look for Long Yuanjiang anymore, this matter is far from being as simple as you think. ”

Yang Ling secretly wondered: "What Fang Xu said refers to is the collusion between Wei Zhongxian and Yan Song, or is there another mystery?"

Luo Cailing grinned and said, "In this way, you haven't found Long Yuanjiang either? Otherwise, why would you eavesdrop on us here? You didn't dare to go to Shaolin yourself, but you confirmed Long Yuanjiang's news from our conversation. If you catch Long Yuanjiang, then you still need to talk nonsense with us here. Am I right?"

Fang Xu said lightly: "Hmph, you are wrong, Fang Mou is not here for Long Yuanjiang. "Hmph, who believes it!" Luo Cailing ignored it, Fang Xu said again: "The girl's surname is Luo, dare to ask what is the name of Luo Sigong with 'Tuoming Knife'?" Yang Ling was about to stop it, but Luo Cailing had already replied: "That's my father!"

"This girl!" Yang Ling shook his head helplessly.

"It turned out to be Luo Sigong's daughter. Fang Xu said coldly: "Don't say that Luo Sigong is just a white cloth at this time, even if he is still the commander-in-chief of the Jinyi Guard, he can't take care of this matter." ”

"You!" Cai Ling was furious.

Yang Ling restrained her and said, "Senior Fang, I have a question below. Fang Xu said indifferently: "Hmph, you say." ”

Yang Ling took a step forward and spread out the folding fan. He bought a folding fan on the way, thinking that it was for self-defense, but he was inevitably beaten by Luo Cailing again. He said with a straight face: "Senior Fang, if you want Yan Song to collude with Wei Zhongxian, its meaning can really be described as Sima Zhao's heart, and passers-by know it. The people of my generation call themselves chivalrous, how can they let Yan Song be the leader of the Southern Martial Arts Alliance, and under the order of Wei Zhongxian of Dongchang, slaughter my heroes in the rivers and lakes, and bully my Ming people?"

When Fang Xu heard this, he laughed, as if he had heard a joke, Luo Cailing said angrily: "What are you laughing at! Scarface!" Yang Lingjun frowned, and said in his heart: "Fang Xu is also a hero, and now that he hears this, he actually laughs out loud, could it be that this person has also taken refuge in Wei Zhongxian?"

Fang Xu snorted coldly: "It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous, do you think Yan Song really colluded with Wei Zhongxian? The 200,000 taels of property is a gift money for Wei Zhongxian? Do you want Dongchang and Jinyi Wei to help Yan Song sit on the leader of the Southern Martial Arts Alliance?" he shook his head and said, "It's wrong, it's all wrong." ”

Yang Ling and Gu Xun glanced at each other, and both said: "This matter is really not simple!"

"Now there are three things, three big things, that you haven't figured out. Fang Xu stretched out three fingers and gestured: "First, why did Yan Song have that money, where did that money come from? Second, what he wanted to do with this money and how to do it." Third, how many secrets are hidden in this small turmoil between the Qinglong Gang and the Cangnan faction, and how many people are involved?"

Yang Ling's lips moved slightly, he wanted to say something, but suddenly he didn't say anything, and sighed: "What Senior Fang said is very true, we don't know anything about these three things. Gu Xun immediately arched his hand and said, "Please also ask Brother Fang for advice." ”

Fang Xu turned around, didn't let them look at his face, and said, "The current Ming Dynasty can be described as internal and external troubles, you must agree, right?" Gu, Yang, and the other three nodded one after another.

Fang Xu continued: "This internal worry is not only due to natural and man-made disasters, and the people's lack of livelihood, but also because of the thieves and robbers...... What's more, when today's son is not doing his job, he is a bureaucrat in all directions, and he only knows how to accumulate money. When he said this, he suddenly stopped.

Gu Xun said: "Yes, although we are reckless, we are also the people of the Ming Dynasty, and we have heard a little about this general trend." Fang Xu smiled and said, "Even so, Brother Gu should also know that I am in trouble?" Gu Xun twisted his eyebrows: "If the old man is not bad, what Brother Fang is referring to is Nurhachi of the Houjin Kingdom in the north?"

"Exactly!"

"Nurhachi is not only cruel and unkind, but also has different ambitions, and has long stored the heart of the Ming Dynasty and entered the Central Plains. Da Ming has been weak for a long time, and there is endless civil strife, but I am afraid that I can't stop his brave and fierce soldiers of the Eight Banners. One day, the city of Beijing will be broken, the Son of Heaven will be taken captive, and he Jurchen will sit on the world and humiliate my Han people......"

Gu and Yang couldn't stop talking about Houjin when they heard him, although they knew that what they said was true, they didn't understand why he wanted to say this. Fang Xu looked at their blank faces and smiled, knowing that he had said too much.

"Senior Fang is right, if Houjin really wants to invade the south, Yang Ling should be a pen and serve the country. Even if he dies in the northern frontier, he will never be allowed to enter the customs easily!"

Fang Xu saw what he said categorically, and sneered: "It's good to have ambitions, but it's a pity that it's just a vain bravery, what's the point?"

"Yes, the court has always been divided into the main battle lord and the two factions, and the saint is hesitant about this. And now that Dongchang is in power, Wei Zhongxian is in calamity to the country, and he does not know how to care for the people and raise soldiers, and he is confused and listening, just trying to have fun, regardless of the war in the Northeast. And although there are many heroes in my generation, they are also scattered, and it is difficult to become an anti-gold help. ”

Fang Xu shook his head: "You are wrong again." Luo Cailing was puzzled: "Why is it wrong?"

"Fang is under today, not so much the world of tomorrow, but the world controlled by Wei Zhongxian of his East Factory. He spat out the word grip heavily. "Hmph, no matter how stupid Wei Zhongxian is, he will not ignore the existence of Nurhachi, and give the world he has worked so hard to run to others. However, our Emperor of the Apocalypse is bent on looking at puppets and carpenters, and hates the government, if it were not for the ignorance of the saints, how could Wei Zhongxian interfere in politics?

Yang Ling saw that he defended Wei Zhongxian and slandered the current emperor, and said dissatisfied: "Senior Fang's words are wrong, Wei Zhongxian has brought disaster to the country and the people, controlled the government and government, and has no dynasty, if he hadn't killed the Donglin party, how could the saint have been so unaware of national affairs?" Yang Ling said himself, but he was stunned: "When he said it, he will never leave Wei Zhongxian, and then the Jin State Nurhachi...... Could it be ......"

"Hmph, do you think that the Donglin Party is all saints? According to Fang Mou, they are just a group of rotten Confucians who don't know the righteousness!" Fang Xu hugged his chest and said: "This group of people only knows the death of Wen, and they are high-sounding and say that they die for the sake of the husband." But how could he have thought that there must be a faint king and other admonitions, he only cares about inviting fame, and he will die violently, and where will he abandon the king in the future? Corrupt Confucianism is even more so, he recites two sentences of books and stains his heart, if there are few flaws in the court, he will talk nonsense and persuade him, and only care about inviting loyal martyrs.

Yang Ling was furious when he heard this, and was about to refute, but he heard Fang Xu say: "But there are also a few in Donglin, let Fang admire." For example, Yang Dahong, who is upright, is a true gentleman, but his death is not worth it. ”

Yang Ling only felt a sour nose, clenched his fists, held back the grief and sadness, and sighed. When a person makes a big sarcasm about a group of people you admire, do you want to rush forward and beat him up? But when he finishes sarcastic, he sincerely admires one of them, and this person is the person you love the most, do you have a trace of pride? Because he is the one who is truly outstanding, the one who is different.

Gu Xun listened and nodded: "What Brother Fang said is shocking, but if you think about it carefully, I am afraid that there is still some truth." Yang Ling didn't know why he wanted to say this, but when he heard Fang Xu praise Yang Lian, his hostility towards him disappeared greatly. He was still worried about Cangnan's affairs, so he asked: "In that case, the gold and silver obtained by Long Yuanjiang were not given to Wei Zhongxian by Yan Song? ”

"I don't have anything to guide you, so I advise the three of you not to worry about Yan Song, Wei Zhongxian, and Long Yuanjiang. ”

"Why?"

Fang Xu wanted to speak and stopped, his outstretched tongue retracted again, looking at the scenery on the mountainside.

Yang Ling suddenly realized: "Could it be that these are the tricks of the Qinglong Gang to sensationalize?"

"Hahahaha, Qinglong Gang?" Fang Xu let go of his chest-hugging hand, the little finger of his right hand was cocked, and then his thumb pointed at himself: "The Taihu Qinglong Gang is a bird! Fang Mou can call him out of the rivers and lakes with the strength of one person!" He paused, hugged his chest again, and said: "The Qinglong Gang doesn't have the guts, the opponent is Wei Zhongxian, it is the Cangnan faction, it can't afford to play." ”

"Okay, the letter in Long Yuanjiang's hand is Yan Song's handwritten letter or not, and the 200,000 taels of silver hidden in the Qinglong Gang, it doesn't ......matter if he presented it to Wei Zhongxian or not," Yang Ling asked: "I just want to know now, where is Yan Song's people?" "No matter what Fang Xu says, it's just one side, but the whereabouts of the letters and silver are enough to prove many things.

"Hmph. Fang Xu exhaled and said, "No comment." After speaking, he turned around and dropped a sentence: "That's all Fang Mou's words say, the three of them can do it themselves." Sure enough, Fang Xu refused to reveal anything about the idea.

"Wait!" Gu Xun and Yang Ling said in unison.

Fang Xu turned his head, only to see Gu Xun stroking his white beard with his hand, and sighed: "This matter is very important, please explain it to Brother Fang." Yang Ling also looked cold, and the folding fan in his hand was clenched.

Fang Xu knew the meaning of the song when he heard it, and said with a smile: "I said Brother Gu, someone Fang never does something that he is not sure of, and if I dare to show up, there will be a way out." You and I have martial arts in half a catty, Fang Mou can't beat you, but if I want to leave, Brother Gu may not be able to stop me. As he spoke, he looked at Yang Ling and Luo Cailing next to him, and continued: "Even if the three of you shoot at the same time, it will be difficult to defeat me, but if you want to capture me, hehe, even if there are a few more, I am afraid that it will not be." ”

Gu Xun and Yang Ling glanced at each other, and they both knew that Fang Xu's words were not alarmist. 'Thousand Blades Breaking Waves' is famous for its knife skills and light skills, Gu Xun is very old, and his strength is not good, not as good as Fang Xu in his prime. Although Yang Ling's light skills are good, his skills are not as good as Fang Xu's.

"What Brother Fang said is true. Gu Xun sighed: "Then let's do this, how about making a bet with Brother Fang?"

"Bet on what, bet on you and me, who is more skilled?" Fang Xu unsheathed his saber and said lazily.

"Not bad. Gu Xun stroked his beard and said: "If the old man is lucky enough to win a move and a half, please ask Brother Fang to explain the ins and outs of the matter." If Brother Fang wins, then we naturally have nothing to say, and Brother Fang can do his best. ”

Fang Xu sneered: "Hmph, I don't bet." ”

Yang Ling saw that Fang Xu was not fooled, and said excitedly: "It turns out that Senior Fang asked himself that his martial arts are not as good as Senior Gu, so he doesn't dare?"

Fang Xu smiled: "Let me tell you the truth, Brother Gu's swordsmanship is superb, but Fang Mou is not a fuel-efficient lamp." If you really want to fight, Fang is not afraid of you. It's just that this bet is too unfair to me, if I lose half of it, I will have to give everything, if you lose, but I will leave safely. But even if I don't gamble, I can leave safely. Haha, whoever of you likes to bet will bet. With that, he turned and was about to leave.
