The worship was over, and the crowd gradually dispersed, and Lu Zitong summoned Liu Shaoyang to the back hall of the courtyard.

After dismissing the left and right maids and servants, closing the door of the house, and the two of them sat down, Lu Zitong asked in a low voice: "Yang'er, this time you went to Poyang Lake for nearly a year, is Chen Youliang's hidden treasure a false rumor or is it true, but do you have eyebrows?"

Liu Shaoyang groaned slightly and replied, "Sect master, my subordinates were ordered to go to Poyang Lake this time to find out Chen Youliang's treasure. It has been 20 years since this incident, and after many years of conquest and changes in the world, the villages and market towns along the shores of Poyang Lake are very rich. The subordinates were afraid that the movement would be too big and cause trouble, so they only selected ten brothers from the Anqing Mansion to investigate separately. I am afraid that asking questions bluntly will lead to suspicion, so I mostly inquire with local elders, so it is very difficult to gain something. Fortunately, after a few months of inquiry, I have gained something. ”

Lu Zitong used to fight with Zhang Shicheng for many years, and he knew that once the war started, he used money everywhere. Now, if he can get a windfall, he will naturally be overjoyed, and he hurriedly said: "That means that some clues have been found? If you can get this treasure, and use it as military pay and purchase weapons when you start the army, the foundation of Shicheng's ancestors will be restored!"

Although the local elders all know about the water battle between Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang in Poyang Lake, and some can even talk about the scenes of the battle between the two armies that day, they just ask about the treasure, but no one knows. After months of searching, the nephew found nothing. Until at the intersection of rivers and lakes in Jiujiang Mansion, he met an old man who claimed to be a pro-army under Chen Youliang. ”

Listening to him, when the Han army was defeated, Chen Youliang was afraid that the treasures of the army would fall into the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang. Indeed, he sent his subordinates to carry dozens of large boxes carried by the army and buried them in the northwest coast of Poyang Lake. Then Zhu Yuanzhang's navy arrived, and the arrows and cannons on the river were fired in unison, the flames soared into the sky, and the ships were in chaos. The Han soldiers only cared about fleeing for their lives, and even Chen Youliang was lost and died. ”

The old man took advantage of the chaos to swim to the shore and hid in the abandoned houses on the shore, and since then he has lived by Poyang Lake, and he has never seen the more than 100 soldiers who buried the boxes. ”

Lu Zitong frowned, and continued: "This Poyang Lake is connected to three mansions, and it is thousands of miles away. Even if you know that it is along the northwest coast, it is still densely populated with rivers, and if you don't know where it is, how can you find it? Besides, Chen Youliang buried such a large amount of treasure there, and his son Chen Li may not have sent someone to get it back. ”

Liu Shaoyang saw that Lu Zitong was worried, and thought: "Uncle has only been focused on reviving the foundation of King Wu all these years, if he gets this treasure, he will be able to recover." This matter made my uncle anxious, and he had to be relieved. Then he said:

According to his nephew's opinion, Chen Li was so panicked when he fled back to Wuchang. Before the throne was secured, Zhu Yuanzhang marched by land and water the following year, and the troops arrived in Wuchang. For so many years, I have never heard of Zhu Yuanzhang taking Chen Youliang's wealth. I also heard the old man say that the matter of hiding the treasure was handled by Zhang Dingbian, the general next to Chen Youliang. Therefore, the little nephew wanted to come, and if he wanted to find this treasure, he had to fall on this Zhang Dingbian. ”

After hearing this, Lu Zitong muttered in a low voice: "Zhang Dingbian, Zhang Dingbian ......" and said in a deep voice, "This name, my uncle has not heard of it for many years." More than ten years ago, when I was under the command of Lord Shicheng, I heard rumors that this Zhang Dingbian was the first warrior under Chen Youliang. Attacking the city, there is the courage of ten thousand people, but I have never seen it. Later, after hearing that Chen Li surrendered, he was unwilling to take refuge in Zhu Yuanzhang, so he dispersed his soldiers and disappeared. ”

Liu Shaoyang saw that Lu Zitong recalled the old past, and he was very sad, and hurriedly said: "My nephew thinks that I am not in a hurry to do things in the Five Elements Gate. To find the whereabouts of the fixed edge, you can inquire in many ways and think about it in the long run. ”

Lu Zitong restrained his sadness and said with a smile: "What the virtuous nephew said is reasonable, it's my uncle's temperament that is a little anxious. Yes, I have been waiting for so many years, and now the more I go forward, the more I have to handle it safely. It's better to grasp more, and don't fall short. Over the past year, you have been busy outside, eating and sleeping in the open air, working hard, and my uncle is also very worried, so let's rest these days. ”

Liu Shaoyang's heart warmed when he heard this, and he couldn't help but think of the various situations that his uncle brought him up since he was a child. With gratitude in his heart, he got up and bowed and said, "My little nephew's parents died when he was a child, and he was brought up by his uncle. Loyalty to the ancestor of Wu Wang Shicheng is a matter of loyalty to the father before his death, and the self-righteousness of being a son is to uphold the father's will! The Zhu family and the nephew have a grudge against killing their parents, and in the eyes of the little nephew, the uncle is like a biological parent. Children should do their best to do things for their parents, and they will not hesitate to do anything. ”

These words were sincere, Lu Zitong stared at Liu Shaoyang, with the kind and loving look of the elders on his face, but there was a faint trace of guilt.

At this time, outside the door, suddenly a sound of footsteps came from far and near, hurrying in. Immediately, the voice of Jin Xuance, the leader of the Ruijin Banner, sounded: "Father-in-law, the child has an urgent report!" The tone was very anxious.

Lu Zitong listened to it and said loudly: "Xuan Ce, come in and talk about something!"

When the door opened, a young man dressed in gold said as he walked: "Father-in-law, the dart of our chief helm Weiyuan dart bureau has robbed the idea! Mr. Liu's dart head is injured. I lost a night crown, this crown is inlaid with five night pearls, and it is worth a fortune!"

After listening to Jin Xuance's words, Rao is Lu Zitong has undergone many changes in his life, and he can't help but feel angry in his chest, and he brushes his sleeves and says angrily:

"Hmph! It's okay if the subordinates lose their darts in other dart games, and the dart head dart masters in this Weiyuan dart game are all good hands, how can they lose their darts? Besides, who in this martial arts doesn't know that the Weiyuan dart game is where the chief helmsman of my Five Elements Gate is! The idea of doing it even dares to rob the dart of my Weiyuan chief helmsman, and the courage is inevitably too great! Find out who did it?"

At this time, Jin Xuance had already taken out a letter from his sleeve and handed it over: "The robber left a letter when he left, and the child has already taken it. ”

Lu Zitong stretched out his hand to take it, opened the cover and took the paper, and when he opened it to see, he saw that it only read "Tomorrow evening, in front of the Zunsheng Tower." Bring all the good hands, talk about martial arts and darts. "The handwriting is vigorous and powerful. Lu Zitong stared at the note, and asked in a deep voice: "Xuan Ce, how did you get lost on this dart, you come and hear it." ”

"The lord of the door, on the fourth day of the first month of March, the Zhou Yuan of Huai'an Mansion went out for two thousand taels of silver, and asked me to send a batch of goods to Weihaiwei, Shandong, and deliver them within a month and a half. Just because this dart is really valuable, Zhou Yuanwai repeatedly instructed him to be careful to escort him. Therefore, although I have not lost a dart in Weiyuan Dart Bureau over the years, I still let Liu Dart take the best hand among the best dart masters to escort him. The things were packed in four large boxes and placed on the two carriages, and in order to prevent accidents, Liu Darttou also put the most valuable Yeming crown in the box and carried it on his back. ”

"Oh, so the robber took something from Liu Zhongping's hands?"

Indeed, according to Liu Zhongping and the brothers who returned, the dart team walked less than ten miles north of the city, and four Taoist priests flashed out of the roadside. One of them was white-faced and emaciated, like a bamboo pole, with a long sword in his hand, and his feet were like flying, and when he came up, he went straight to Liu Dart's head, and the other three just stood by the side of the road with their hands in their hands. Liu Zhongping swung his knife to block the Taoist priest, but the knife cut into the air, and then the left and right arms were hit by the two swords of the Taoist priest, and when he was numb, he was hit by the acupoint, and the back was light, and the box containing the Yeming crown was taken away by the Taoist priest with a long sword to cut the belt!"

When Lu Zitong heard this, he said in a strange voice: "Do you mean that the Taoist person is just under the face, and he paralyzed Liu Zhongping's left and right arms with two swords, and took the Yeming crown from his back? Although Liu Zhongping is not a first-class master in the martial arts, he is also a bit famous with a gossip knife in his hand." Someone who comes can paralyze his arms in an instant, and take things from his back with a broken rope, is by no means an ordinary master!"

"The Taoist priest took the Yeming crown, and nailed the letter to the dart cart with a backhand dart, and our dart master was about to step forward to recapture the dart, and the four Taoists rose and fell, and disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye. The injured Liu Dart Head and several dart masters have already returned, and now they are all in the side hall. Liu Dart's left and right arms were all swollen and stiff, and at this time, Meng You, Senior Brother Mu, and Senior Sister Shui were already investigating the injury. ”

Lu Zitong's face sank when he heard this, and he got up and said to Jin Xuance, Liu Shaoyang: "You two will go to the side hall with me, the old man wants to see where this person came from!" The three of them passed through the corridor and came to the side hall. I saw Liu Zhongping sitting on the chair with a gray face and a depressed head. There were dozens of people standing in the hall, talking to each other.

When everyone in the hall saw that Lu Zitong was coming, they gathered together. Lu Zitong strode forward, rolled up Liu Zhongping's right sleeve, and saw that his entire arm was already red and swollen, with a burst of purple gas in the red, and he looked at his left arm as well, and couldn't help frowning. After a closer look, Lu Zitong was suddenly shocked, revealing an expression of disbelief. After a long time, his face was pale, and he seemed to remember a past event, and he pondered it intently.

When the others saw Lu Zitong's eyebrows frowning and his expression solemn, as if they were thinking about something, they all stood aside and didn't make a sound to disturb. There was silence in the room for a while, and the pin drop could be heard.

The hall was so quiet for a long time, and the young man in a red robe among the people couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted: "Door master, you have been watching this for a long time, can you see who injured Brother Liu like this? If there is a clue, I Huo Xuanyi will ask for my life, and I will take back the lost dart for Brother Liu's evil breath!"

Lu Zi passed for a long time before his eyes turned around, and he snorted: "Xuanying, when will you change your quick temper!" After that, he paused and said: "Xuanling, Xuanying, you two tell me what clues you have seen from this injury!"

As soon as the words fell, in the crowd, a girl dressed in white, with eyebrows and temples, and a cold face came out of the crowd, with a melon seed face and a look like autumn water. This person is Liu Shaoyang's senior sister Holy Water Banner Commander Shui Xuanling, and she said lightly: "Father-in-law, according to my daughter's humble opinion, although the injured place on Liu Dart's head is red and swollen all over, but more importantly, there is a faint dark purple surge in the red. Judging from the situation at the time of the fight, it seems that when the robber pierced the acupoint with his sword, he used the tip of the sword to inject the true qi into the acupoint with a very fast technique. True qi travels near the place where the puncture is pierced, causing swelling and stiffening of the limbs. ”
