1191 Zhu Laosi and the King of Shanxi
We were shocked.
I thought I had misheard, but Zhu Laosi actually said that he knew the whereabouts of the King of Shanxi? I looked at Monkey and Huang Jie suspiciously, and saw that they were also looking at me with the same doubts, and then I realized that I had heard correctly.
So, why did Zhu Laosi hide it from us?!
A few of us looked at each other. returned to Zhu Laosi's bedside.
Zhu Laosi looked at us, with a guilty face, and said: "When Master Wu just told me that he had a few friends who wanted to find the king of Shanxi, I really didn't pay attention to it, there were many people who wanted to find the king of Shanxi. Can anyone find it if they want to? And then you helped me again and again. He also saved me from danger several times, and now he has helped me win Datong...... I, I'm really embarrassed to hide it anymore!"
A few of us stared at him intensely.
Zhu Laosi gritted his teeth and said, "Actually." I am the king of Shanxi!"
A few of us immediately got up and left.
This Zhu Laosi has a problem with the monkey......
"Hey, hey, I'm not kidding, I'll be honest......"
We just came back again, and this time even the monkey couldn't help it: "Fourth master, can we be serious......" can force the monkey to this point, you can imagine how annoying Zhu Laosi is.
Zhu Laosi sighed: "Actually, if someone asks me, I will still pretend not to know as before, but you ...... I'm really embarrassed to keep it a secret. Do you know why Song Gejuan killed me?"
The monkey said strangely, yes, didn't the old crow hire him? Zhu Laosi shook his head, and said what kind of thing the old crow was, and could he hire Song Gejuan? To tell you the truth, Song Gejuan was sent by the king of Shanxi to kill me! After hearing this, several of us were even more surprised. Busy asking why?
Zhu Lao looked embarrassed, hesitated again, and then continued: "Do you know why the king of Shanxi retired twenty years ago?"
Zhu Laosi nodded, and said yes, twenty years ago, when Wang Fang Qianli of Shanxi was still walking on the road. Unified five cities in the northwestern part of Shanxi, there are masters called "Sixteen Sharp Knives" under my command, and I am one of them!
We were even more surprised, we didn't expect that Zhu Laosi had actually followed the king of Shanxi, and had also sat on the chair of the "sixteen sharp knives"! This sixteen sharp knives, we had heard from the martial master, was indeed sixteen strong masters, and the king of Shanxi Fang Qianli was very proud. Song Gejuan is one of the sixteen sharp knives, and you can imagine how high the gold content of these sixteen sharp knives is.
We looked at Zhu Laosi carefully to make sure that he was not joking this time, and then we listened to him continue.
Twenty years ago, Zhu Laosi was only in his twenties, which was the age of high spirits. At a young age, he has become one of the sixteen sharp knives and one of the henchmen of the King of Shanxi, which makes Zhu Laosi extremely proud.
However, the king of Shanxi is younger, younger than Zhu Laosi.
Among the sixteen sharp knives, the old ones were nearly forty years old, such as Song Gejuan, and the few were only in their twenties, such as Zhu Laosi. And these sixteen sharp knives, whether they are old or young, everyone is older than the king of Shanxi.
The reason why the king of Shanxi can be the king of Shanxi is that so many masters can be the only ones who are willing to serve him, not by his skills, but by his personal charm, his character and courage, and his extraordinary means, which are all convincing.
Zhu Laosi is already a hero in the world, but when he talks about the king of Shanxi, his eyes still burst out with fanatical brilliance, like a brainless little fan mentioning his beloved idol. Zhu Laosi said that he had never served anyone in his life, and Fang Qianli was the only one.
The only one!
In Zhu Laosi's view, all the beautiful words in the world are not exaggerated on Fang Qianli, smart, handsome, excellent, righteous, heroic, and generous...... There are so many words, you can't describe one ten-thousandth of Fang Qianli, and you will only be impressed by his charm when you see him with your own eyes.
Even the predecessors of the rivers and lakes who have been famous for a long time like Song Gejuan are willing to bow down under Fang Qianli's door!
Zhu Laosi is the junior with the lowest skill and the lowest level among the sixteen sharp knives, and the attitude of Fang Qianli is also extremely fanatical, which can be called Fang Qianli's brainless fan. He allowed others to talk about his parents, and he didn't allow others to say half a bad word about Fang Qianli.
In those years, Fang Qianli took sixteen sharp swords to fight in the south and the north, won five cities in the north of Shanxi at a very fast speed, and proclaimed himself the king of Shanxi.
When he said this, the monkey wanted to interject and say that he was not convinced, but he held back.
Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long, just when Fang Qianli and the Sixteen Sharp Blades were full of ambition and eager to continue their attack towards the southwest of Shanxi, an organization called "Xinghuo" completely disrupted their plans. The Starfire was really terrifying, not only did it disrupt and disperse their forces in the northern cities in a short period of time, but even the strongest masters in the Sixteen Sharp Swords couldn't compete with them......
The dead died, the wounded, and there was not much left of the sixteen sharp knives.
It was a miserable time, and the down-and-out king of Shanxi took the rest of his men and horses into hiding, including Zhu Laosi. In the end, the king of Shanxi still handed over the white flag, and he didn't know what negotiations he had done with Xinghuo, announcing that he would wash his hands of money and retire to the rivers and lakes.
At the same time, he also said to the rest of his men, "If you want to follow me, continue to follow, and if you don't want to follow me, leave." However, the person who left had to promise me two things, the first was not to mix in anymore, and the second was not to join the spark.
Zhu Laosi chose to leave.
Because at that time, he was already a little disappointed in the king of Shanxi. In those few months, he watched the king of Shanxi, who was once high-spirited, calculating, and pointing at the entire Shanxi, be beaten by the sparks and run around, completely losing his former sharpness.
This is not the life that Zhu Laosi wants.
But Zhu Laosi also understands that if even the King of Shanxi can't fight Xinghuo, he naturally doesn't have that ability. After Zhu Laosi returned to Datong, at first, according to the instructions of the king of Shanxi, he did not mix the things on the road again, but started a small business in his own right.
But after a long time, he couldn't help it. As we all know, no matter what era it is, if you don't have the protection of certain forces, it is even more difficult to do a small business with peace of mind than to ascend to the sky.
Moreover, poverty made Zhu Laosi overstretched, and he couldn't even afford to support his family.
At that time, Zhu Laosi had been away from the king of Shanxi for several years, and there had been no news of the king of Shanxi for a long time.
So he decided to take a risk, ignoring the advice of the king of Shanxi at the beginning, and once again embarked on the road of chaos. Anyway, he used to be a subordinate of the King of Shanxi, one of the sixteen sharp knives, and Datong was in a state of extreme chaos, and it was too easy for Zhu Laosi to mix up the world.
So in a short period of time, Zhu Laosi pulled up his own force and successfully unified the underground world of Yungang District in Datong (it was not called Yungang District at that time, and Yungang District was later divided). Just when Zhu Laosi was about to take Datong in one go and re-walk the road of the king of Shanxi, he unexpectedly received a letter from the king of Shanxi.
It was a snowy night, the snow covered the whole city, Zhu Laosi was drinking with a few brothers at home, and a white carrier pigeon suddenly fluttered into the courtyard of Zhu Laosi's house. Zhu Laosi opened the letter and found that it was a letter written by the king of Shanxi himself.
For Fang Qianli's handwriting, no one is more familiar with it than Zhu Laosi.
Nothing is written on it, only an address is attached.
Immediately, Zhu Laosi was so frightened that he was covered in a cold sweat, he didn't even drink wine, hurriedly got dressed, and drove to the address where King Shanxi was. Liu Zongyuan called Shanxi "the mountains and rivers in the surface", which means that there are many hills and ravines in Shanxi, and the transportation in those years was not very developed, and the location of the king of Shanxi was extremely remote.
The heavy snow closed the mountain, and the road was difficult, but Zhu Laosi still did not delay a step, and finally arrived at the location of the king of Shanxi before the next morning.
At that time, before Fang Qianli woke up, Zhu Laosi knelt in front of Fang Qianli's door and waited.
The heavy snow was still falling one after another, and soon poured Zhu Laosi into a snowman, but Zhu Laosi still didn't dare to move. It wasn't until two hours later that someone summoned Zhu Laosi in.
Fang Qianli had already woken up, sitting on the edge of the bed and fiddling with a pot of charcoal with a fire fork.
The charcoal fire is burning, and the house is warm.
Zhu Laosi fell to his knees and his head fell on the ground. After a long time, Fang Qianli said, "Zhu Laosi, have you forgotten what you promised me back then?"
Zhu Laosi didn't dare to answer, he still lay on the ground, his body trembling like sifting chaff.
Fang Qianli sighed and said, "I know that you are also here to support your family, people like us, if you don't mix, which way will you go?" However, do you think that if I don't let you take this road, I don't want you to be developed?"
You're wrong, I'm here to keep you alive. At this point, I don't want to say anything more. Well, you've made a lot of money now, so don't go any further, and go ashore as soon as possible. ”
After a pause, Fang Qianli continued: "I'm doing it for your good. ”
"Yes. Zhu Laosi didn't dare to put up any resistance.
"If there is a next time, I want your life. This was the last sentence Fang Qianli said to Zhu Laosi.
After coming back, Zhu Laosi obeyed Fang Qianli's orders, dismissed most of his brothers, leaving only some henchmen who depended on him for life and death, and then went ashore in vain and started a serious business, and many years passed in a flash.
In the past many years, there has been no news from the king of Shanxi.
But Zhu Laosi knew that the king of Shanxi had always been there and had never left. And his every move, the king of Shanxi knows it well.
But not long ago, that is, in the days when we came to Datong, first Xiao Wu almost killed Zhu Laosi - in fact, he had already been killed, if it weren't for Long Qingyu, the grass on Zhu Laosi's grave would have grown, and then the persecution of the crow, which finally made Zhu Laosi furious.
As a result, Zhu Lao Quartet launched a desperate crazy revenge.
