Chapter 48: The distance of the rivers and lakes, righteousness and grandeur

On the bank of the Ganjiang River, Hongdu Mansion, Tengwang Pavilion. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Two figures, one green and one red, jumped off the horse, and hurriedly stepped on the stairs without waiting for the guard's report, and the chaotic and hurried footsteps suddenly echoed in the Tengwang Pavilion under the sunset, suddenly breaking the long-lost tranquility on the top of the pavilion.

"Yuzhang Ancient County, Hongdu New Mansion. The stars are divided into wings, and the ground is connected to Henglu. The three rivers and the five lakes are controlled, and the Ouyue is controlled. Wuhua Tianbao, the ruins of the dragon light shooting bull fight; Outstanding people, Xu Ru went down to Chen Fan's couch. Xiongzhou fog train, Juncai Xingchi ......"

There was a thin old man standing in front of the top railing of the pavilion, who was leisurely tasting Wang Bo's "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng", which has been passed down through the ages, when he suddenly heard this rush of footsteps, his brows couldn't help frowning, and there was a strange look in his deep eyes.

The old man didn't look back, until the footsteps stopped about three feet behind him, and he sighed and said, "Tsing Yi, Tsing Yi, why are you in such a hurry and can't go back to the hall?" The voice is not loud, but it is quite everyone's demeanor, it is Lei Haoran, the current hall master of Jiangnan Perak Hall and known as "Righteous Haoran".

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who in the rivers and lakes would have thought that Lei Haoran, one of the four great masters of martial arts who was so strong as the "wind and thunder in his hand" that dominated the world, would be a short and thin old man?

This green and red figure is the two brothers and sisters of Lei Qingshan and Lei Qingyi, just when Lu Yi and Li Mubai traveled all the way to the mountains and rivers, stopped and stopped when they just arrived in Zhuge Ancient Town, the two brothers and sisters had already returned to Hongdu at the speed of traveling hundreds of miles a day.

Hearing his father's slightly reproachful tone, Lei Qingshan hurriedly bent down slightly and arched his hand: "Father, the child really has something important to do when he comes back this time, just now I heard the third grandfather in the hall say that you are here, so I rushed over with my sister." ”

Lei Qingyi stepped forward and grabbed Lei Haoran's arm, pouted and said, "Father, my brother and I rushed back from Luoyang quickly, and we came to see you before we even had time to drink saliva when we got home, and you don't care about us!" Hum! ”

When Lei Haoran saw his daughter's well-behaved appearance, he immediately burst out laughing, and said in a loud voice: "Oh, is there anyone who upsets our family Tsing Yi?" Speak to your father, and teach him a good lesson for you. ”

Lei Haoran usually does not smile, and he is also strict with his son Lei Qingshan and the disciples in the hall, but he is different from his daughter Lei Qingyi, and even for the sake of his daughter's courtesy, he did not hesitate to go deep into Miaojiang and the Western Regions alone to hunt hexagonal sika deer skin and Tianshan ice silk, and he was pampered.

The speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, Lei Qingyi heard her father's joke, and somehow suddenly popped up in her mind The appearance of that silly boy suddenly popped up, she was suddenly startled, and hurriedly buried her head in her father's arms to hide her panicked look, and said: "Father, you laugh at me again, people ignore you!" ”

Lei Haoran couldn't do anything about his baby daughter, so he could only let her go, and then turned his gaze to his son Lei Qingshan, and asked, "Qingshan, what happened?" It is said that Yan's father produces filial piety, and Yan's teacher produces high-level apprentices, and Lei Haoran and Lei Qingshan's father and son are the best annotations.

Lei Haoran from his son Lei Qingshan began to practice martial arts is to be extremely strict, and it is precisely because of his strict teaching for more than ten years and Lei Qingshan's hard work for more than ten years, Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall shined at the Jinling Xuanwu Festival five years ago, Lei Haoran as one of the four great masters of martial arts and Jiangnan Martial Arts Alliance leader "Riding the Wind and Waves" Ning Chengfeng is on an equal footing, Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall is a very strong force in the Jiangnan Martial Arts League by virtue of the dual background of the government and the rivers and lakes, What makes Lei Haoran even more pleased is that his son Lei Qingshan has defeated several young talents such as Gusu Murong and Nangong Shijia, and won the title of "The First Prince of Jiangnan" in one fell swoop, and was also rated as "Gongzi Qingshan, Lei Luo Jiangnan" by Huang Xuanzhen, the head of the Wudang faction of Wulin Taishan Beidou, and has the posture of "Four Sons of Jianghu".

It is precisely because of his son Lei Qingshan's outstanding performance that Lei Haoran dared to rest assured that he would hand over the responsibility of escorting the latest batch of firearms and ammunition to the Luoyang Gunpowder Bureau to his son, but according to the original plan, his son would not return until half a month later, and there must be a hidden secret.

Lei Qingshan heard his father's question, and hurriedly replied: "Father, when the child was in Luoyang City, it seems that he saw the mysterious potion in the legend of the Three Peaks Sect outside the Saiwai. ”

"What?" Lei Haoran suddenly grabbed his son Lei Qingshan's arm and asked in disbelief, "Are you sure?" ”

Lei Qingshan recalled the scene when there was a fire at the Grand Hyatt Inn that night, and nodded affirmatively: "It will never be wrong, the child has personally investigated, if it weren't for that mysterious potion, he would definitely not be unscathed in the fire caused by the thunderbolt fire bomb!" ”

Lei Haoran calmed down when he heard this, his tone returned to normal, and he nodded and said, "Qingshan, you tell me the specific situation again." ”

Lei Qingshan hurriedly sorted out his thoughts, and recounted to his father the series of events from staying at the Grand Hyatt Inn after arriving in Luoyang City, to contacting the officials of Luoyang Prefecture, to the successful completion of the firearms and ammunition, and finally to the explosion and fire at the Grand Hyatt Inn, the conflict with Li Mubai and "Yu Mian", and Zhuo Chengyi's killing by Chilong and other Wangjianglou killers, but he deliberately concealed the stubble of his sister Lei Qingyi's loss of the fire treasure bag and going to the Peony Pavilion to mess around.

"You mean that you met Yu Mian, the son of Duke Zhongsu, in Luoyang City?" After listening to his son's narration, Lei Haoran couldn't help frowning and said, "Jinyiwei, the eagle dog lackeys of Dongchang and the killers of Wangjianglou all want to put him to death all the time. ”

Lei Qingshan nodded and said: "Yes, father, the child also feels strange, but what is even more strange is that this Yu Mian seems to have something to do with the demon girl Liuli of Wangjiang Tower, that night in the Grand Hyatt Inn Wangjiang Tower four masters reached three, under the circumstances at that time, even if the child and Li Mubai and Yu Mian joined forces, they were definitely not their enemies, but Liuli ordered to retreat, as if he deliberately did not catch them." ”

At this time, Lei Qingyi also hurriedly echoed dissatisfiedly: "Yes, yes, that stupid boy looks serious, but he looks at the demon girl, and it makes people uncomfortable!" ”

Lei Haoran suddenly said in a deep voice: "Shut up!" If it weren't for you, how could your Uncle Zhuo have died? I'll punish you when I get back to the church! "Although Zhuo Chengyi and the Lei family are nominally different from master and servant, they are actually half of the Lei family, Lei Haoran was also very angry when he suddenly heard that he was killed by the red dragon, but this matter actually involved the son of Zhongsu Gong Yu Qian and the Sanfeng Sect outside the Saiwai, and it was confusing, so he forcibly suppressed the impulse to kill Jinling Wangjiang Tower to avenge Zhuo Chengyi.

Lei Qingshan heard his father reprimanding his sister, and hurriedly bowed his head and said: "Father, although Tsing Yi is at fault, but the child is not thoughtful first, and if it weren't for the child's inferior skills, he would have been able to avenge Uncle Zhuo that night, please don't punish her, only punish the child alone." ”

Lei Haoran waved his hand and said with a solemn expression: "Although the red dragon is simple-minded and has developed limbs, it is indeed not to be underestimated that you can practice kung fu horizontally, that is, your three uncles of wind, fire, and thunder can't get a bargain in front of him, and it is really rare for you to have the upper hand in the process of fighting with him." ”

"Your Uncle Zhuo's revenge must be avenged, so as soon as the matter of the Jinling Festival is over, my father will personally enter the Wangjiang Tower, and pay tribute to your Uncle Zhuo's spirit in the sky with the head of the red dragon!" Lei Haoran changed his words and continued, "But the top priority is the matter of the mysterious potion, we must find a way to find out its ingredients and how to crack it, otherwise the war will be a big battle, and my border soldiers are very likely to suffer a big loss." ”

If the Mongolian cavalry uses this mysterious potion to restrain the artillery fire of the Shenji battalion, it will not only affect the morale of the border soldiers, but also make the border soldiers always under the threat of the Mongolian iron hooves.

Lei Qingshan's face suddenly showed a look of regret, and he couldn't help but say: "Father, the child is ordered to enter Sanfeng Mountain, and this mysterious potion will be found out!" ”

"What?" Lei Qingyi was suddenly shocked, "Brother, you can't go!" She knew a lot of things about the Sanfeng Sect from her brother Lei Qingshan along the way, and she especially regretted the death of the fourth uncle in Sanfeng Mountain, how could she not be worried when she heard that her brother was trying to take risks at this time?

Lei Qingshan was about to speak, but his father Lei Haoran suddenly said: "If you want to find out the situation of this mysterious potion, it is not only a way to infiltrate the Three Peaks Sect, and even if you really want to re-enter the Three Peaks Mountain, Qingshan's goal is too big, it is definitely not the best candidate, and more importantly, now the military department is controlled by Xu Youzhen, and Shi Heng and Shi Biao's uncle and nephew both have heavy troops, even if we find out the situation of the mysterious potion, it will not help!" ”

Since the restoration of Yingzong and Yu Qian's being Zhu, Xu Youzhen has become a new military secretary, and he has entered the cabinet with meritorious service to the restoration, and Shi Heng has been able to enter the prime minister because of Qian's recommendation, but because of his meritorious service, he was named loyal to the country, and the power leaned towards the government and the opposition, and his nephew Shi Biao was also named Yuanhou because of his outstanding military achievements, Xu Youzhen and Shi Heng controlled the army, but they were keen on the internal struggle for power, and because they had defeated the Mongolian tribes, they never put Warat and Tatar in their eyes, even if they told them about the mysterious potion, The two may not believe it.

Lei Qingshan listened to his father's analysis, and was also very helpless, and asked unwillingly: "But we can't watch the Tatars become more and more rampant, right?" Don't you know that raising tigers is a problem? ”

Although Lei Haoran is in the middle of the rivers and lakes, he is actually quite concerned about the affairs of the imperial court, and with the relationship between the Lei family and the government, even if he wants to stay out of the matter, it is absolutely impossible, hearing his son's words, he suddenly said: "Of course we can't be indifferent, for now, we can only tell Wang Shilang about this matter secretly!" ”

Lei Qingshan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help but say, "How could I forget him?!" ”
