Chapter 59: The Road to Heroism
Murong Fu didn't know that at the same time as he was talking to the seed master, Deng Baichuan went to see Qiao Feng. To prevent the imperial court from ceding Wuqi, the beggar gang also contributed, and it was Murong Fu who ordered the turmoil to send 100,000 yuan to express his gratitude. When Deng Baichuan learned about it, he volunteered to take the errand.
When he met Qiao Feng, Qiao Feng was drinking with Jiang Changyun in a tavern on the outskirts of the city. When Deng Baichuan made his intentions clear, Jiang Changyun, who was full of dissatisfaction with Murong Fu, couldn't help but sneer before Qiao Feng could speak: "Go back and tell your father-in-law, we can't afford to help him ...... this friend."
"Long luck!" Qiao Feng saw that Jiang Changyun's words were not polite, and immediately stopped him. "The Great Song Dynasty is also the country of my beggars' parents, and it is natural to contribute to the family and country. Murong Gongzi's kindness, the beggar helped him. ”
Deng Baichuan also knew that Qiao Feng would not accept it, but he knew that his son-in-law had always acted arbitrarily and never gave people a chance to refuse. "It's good to teach the Qiao gang master to know that this 100,000 guan is not a small amount, and my father-in-law has already ordered someone to send it to the Hangzhou helm of the beggar gang."
As soon as Deng Baichuan said this, Jiang Changyun immediately dropped the bowl and was about to get up and scold, but Qiao Feng stretched out his hand to stop him. "In this way, thank you for me."
Deng Baichuan saw Qiao Feng's expression of suppressing anger and pretending to be calm, and couldn't help but sigh lightly, and said in a low voice: "Can Qiao Gang Leader please have a bowl of wine?" ”
Qiao Feng glanced up at Deng Baichuan in surprise, and after a while, he turned his head and ordered Jiang Changyun: "Changyun, you go back first." ”
Jiang Changyun was really unhappy, but obviously he knew that he couldn't persuade Qiao Feng, so he glared at Deng Baichuan for a long time, but Deng Baichuan only looked back innocently, and he didn't move at all. Jiang Changyun was bored in his heart, so he had to step on the stairs heavily and scold.
Qiao Feng shook his head helplessly, and casually turned out a big bowl for Deng Baichuan. "Brother Deng, sit."
"Thank you." Deng Baichuan drank the bowl of wine happily, and silently peeled a few peanuts before sighing. "I can see that my son-in-law regards the Qiao gang leader as a sibling."
Qiao Feng's eyes flashed with confidence, and he smiled, "I never doubted this. ”
"Two years ago, the second brother was ordered by his son to go to the Xia Kingdom. Gongziye's original intention was to use Li Yanzong as the introduction of his second brother, and he never thought of killing Li Yanzong, including his family. The death of Li Yanzong's whole family was the second brother's own initiative, and I concealed it from my son for the sake of my brother's righteousness. Deng Baichuan said again.
"I know all of this." Qiao Feng didn't move his brows, drank the big bowl of wine in front of him cleanly, and opened a new jar for himself and Deng Baichuan.
"Gongzi Ye is the widow of the Murong family, and he was raised by the four of us brothers, and his martial arts were also taught by our brothers. Therefore, even if Gongye Qian did something wrong, it would be difficult for Gongye Ye to deal with him. Deng Baichuan took a deep breath and gritted his teeth to explain.
This time, Qiao Feng's expression was a little noncommittal, he didn't answer again but drank another bowl of wine.
Deng Baichuan seemed to be a little anxious, leaned over and said, "Gang Master Qiao, those who become big things are not informal!" Besides, Li Yanzong is a foreign race after all, and my son-in-law and you are brothers who intersect in life and death! ”
Qiao Feng smiled dumbly, waved his hand and said, "I am not a rigid person, and I never thought of taking Murong's life to avenge Li Yanzong's family. I was just...... I didn't expect Murong to take this path......"
Deng Baichuan had a ghost in his heart, and when he heard Qiao Feng's ominous words, he couldn't help but be secretly shocked, and hurriedly asked, "What path does Gang Master Qiao think my son-in-law is taking?" ”
Qiao Feng glanced at Deng Baichuan deeply, and said word by word: "The road of heroes." "The heart is unhindered, cold-blooded and ruthless, those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me die, which is called a hero.
Deng Baichuan's heart tightened and relaxed, and he only smiled: "I want to come to Qiao's gang leader to hope that my son-in-law will become a hero of great benevolence and righteousness?" However, heroes throughout the ages are often tools in the hands of others, and only heroes have the opportunity to win the world.
Qiao Feng let out a long sigh and said gloomily, "I know I shouldn't blame him." Murong was originally just an idle cloud and wild crane, but if it weren't for me and Master Su, he would still be free now. I just don't understand, why did he become like this? He clearly ...... He was more compassionate than anyone else. I saw him bow his head and be silent for a while, and suddenly asked Deng Baichuan again. Murong went to sea for two years and killed many people? ”
Deng Baichuan didn't expect Qiao Feng to suddenly mention this, and he was immediately stunned. After a while, he suddenly came back to his senses and replied uncertainly: "I have been in the Yan Army for the past two years, and I am not very clear about overseas affairs. I only happened to hear the third brother mention it once, and the prince killed a foreign vassal who was not a foreign vassal, and he should have killed a lot of people. ”
Qiao Feng's eyebrows twitched twice, and he said with confusion: "Why is this happening?" Was he a fake before? Without waiting for Deng Baichuan to answer, Qiao Feng shook his head slightly. No, it won't be fake. I could feel that his affection was real. Or should I not have persuaded him to go out at all?
Deng Baichuan cautiously looked at Qiao Feng and didn't dare to say more, he was afraid that he would make a mistake in saying a word, which would cause Qiao Feng to doubt Gongzi's motives more and more.
Qiao Feng didn't understand it after thinking about it, and all his thoughts finally ended up with a smile. "It turns out that I don't know Murong ...... as well as I think I do."
Qiao Feng's sigh was said to make Deng Baichuan feel related. "Childe's mind has always been hidden deeply. If it weren't for the fact that night when I saw Gongzi Ye angrily fighting with Qiao Gang Master, I didn't know that Qiao Gang Master was so important in Gongzi Ye's heart. ”
When Qiao Feng heard this, he glared at Deng Baichuan like a ghost, and after a long time, Fang faintly said: "He almost killed me that day......" That night he went to look for Murong Fu, Qiao Feng only wanted to verify the truth, and did not mean to ask for guilt. However, when he listened to the words of Murong Fu and Deng Baichuan outside the study, he suddenly realized that his good brother Murong Fu had changed so much.
"If Gongye really wants to kill you, I won't be sitting here drinking with Gang Master Qiao today." Deng Baichuan sighed lightly. He saw clearly the battle between Gongzi and Qiao Feng that night, although Qiao Feng had never been a killer, but Gongzi's trick "Meteor Catching the Moon" was also frozen at the last moment.
"Brother Deng, there is still affection in the heart of the hero, but there is only victory and defeat in the heart of the hero. I'm afraid that one day, his shot will come down. Qiao Feng poured a bowl of wine and forced Deng Baichuan to ask. Even if he wants to kill me, I may not be afraid of him! It's just that you ask yourself, was Murong at that time still Murong? ”
Qiao Feng's eyes were sharp, and Deng Baichuan didn't dare to look at him for a while, so he had to turn his face slightly. As if he didn't avoid it, he would even show Qiao Feng his heart, liver, spleen and lungs. At this time, Deng Baichuan suddenly remembered what the lord had said before his death, and after the lord passed away, he saw his wife mention it to his son several times. Whenever she said this, her voice was violent. The lord said: "In addition to Zhongxing Dayan, there is no other major event in the world, if it is for the revival of the great cause, the father and brother can be killed, the children can be killed, and the relatives and friends can be separated, as for the love between men and women, the more you don't have to take it to heart." At that time, Deng Baichuan never felt that there was anything wrong with these words. The road to recovery is so difficult, how can it be done if you don't have no distractions? Until a year ago, he was old and had a son, holding the delicate baby in his arms, and then thinking back to the son who called him "Brother Deng" and gradually grew up, his heart was always mixed and indistinguishable.
“…… Gongzi Ye is a posthumous son, and it is the only bloodline of the Murong family, and the lady looks forward to Gongzi Ye becoming a talent to comfort the ancestors, and treats him extremely harshly before his death. At that time, Gongzi practiced martial arts for four hours a day, read for four hours, and rested for four hours, and from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, there was never a day of play. Once, the prince took the time to draw a picture for Miss Cousin to make her happy, but the painting was discovered by the lady and asked the family law to beat the prince to death. Before the child's injury healed, the lady used the excuse that the prince still had spare strength and added a lot of homework. At that time, I did not know the importance of it, but instead of dissuading it, I supported my wife with all my might. Until my child was born, I remembered my son's homework at that time......" Deng Baichuan shook his head and said bitterly. "I feel sorry for my son...... At that time, I always felt that although my son was filial, he was not close to his wife. Only now do I understand, and now I understand......" Deng Baichuan never dared to say these words to Murong Fu, let alone to a few righteous brothers. I don't know why, I actually said it with Qiao Feng today.
Deng Baichuan said it harshly, and Qiao Feng listened to it with cold sweat. Qiao Feng's current martial arts are the best in the world, even if they are not the best in the world. He can have such a skill, how much strength and sweat he has shed since he was a child, only Qiao Feng himself understands. And Murong Fu not only has martial arts equal to him, but his literary skills are far superior to his reckless martial arts. To have such skills, how much hard work has Murong Fu put in? But even so, Murong's mother was still dissatisfied with this son, and even wanted to kill him, or at least force him to work harder by threatening to kill him. "I see! I was just unexpected, after Murong grew up, he just chose to hide from the world, instead of burning Swallow Dock with a fire. Thinking of Murong Fu's affection for himself and his relatives and friends over the years, Qiao Feng couldn't help but sigh with remorse. In fact, Murong was originally gentle by nature and had no quarrel with the world, so I really shouldn't have persuaded him to be born! ”
"Why did Gang Leader Qiao say this?" Deng Baichuan asked in surprise, although he regretted that he had persecuted Murong Fu too much back then, he also understood that if the man's husband wanted to do a career, he had to endure hardships and be tired. What's more, what the prince wants to do is the great cause of building a country and rejuvenating the country, and he will suffer more and more hardships that are beyond the reach of others.
Qiao Feng couldn't help but sneer when he saw that Deng Baichuan still didn't understand. "I know that widowed mothers have always been strong, and I only ask you one thing. Before Murong's mother died, Murong Ke had said a word and taken a step with his own meaning? ”
Deng Baichuan was stunned by Qiao Feng's question, and after a while, he argued: "Who in this world is not a son who didn't come over like this?" Even though Mrs. was too strict with her husband before her death, her original intention was also for the good of her son! ”
Seeing that Deng Baichuan was still upright, Qiao Feng laughed angrily, and almost immediately retorted: No matter how strict parents in the world are with their son, they will never harm his life! However, when the words came to his lips, he instantly realized that Murong Fu definitely didn't want anyone to know about it. He closed his eyes tightly and endured it for life, only to say helplessly: "Have you never paid attention, but whenever Murong does the right thing, he will ...... He ...... "At this moment, Qiao Feng's thoughts were incomparably clear and calm. Since the acquaintance with Murong Fu, various fragments have come one after another, and the thick fog that has been vaguely felt in front of Murong Fu for many years has finally completely dissipated. The fire in the summer camp, the two stories when he was drinking with Master Su, the dispute and fight on the night of the first day of the first lunar month, and the moment when he was awakened by a nightmare many years ago, this is almost like two people on weekdays. But after all these years, no one has ever noticed that something is wrong.
"What's he?" Deng Baichuan asked in horror, his heart was actually not as calm as he appeared. For some reason, seeing Qiao Feng's angry and pitiful expression, Deng Baichuan always faintly felt that something seemed to be wrong, and it was a big mistake!
Qiao Feng shook his head tiredly. "You've pushed him to this point, and you dare to say it's for his good? Blame me, blame me! He treats me as a brother, but I make his situation worse! After that, he ignored Deng Baichuan anymore, and casually dropped a few copper coins and left in a hurry.
Qiao Feng walked suddenly, but the destination was very clear, it was Murong Mansion. He was extremely fast with martial arts, and when he arrived at Murong Mansion, Master Dao had not yet left, and he was carrying a long gun to practice marksmanship in the courtyard. Qiao Feng looked at it with his hands around his chest for a while, and suddenly said: "Murong's shot is not like this, the waist, hands and eyes are in a line, and the move must be more vigorous and brave!" ”
Suddenly hearing Qiao Feng's voice, the seed master suddenly let go of his right hand, and this trick "Meteor Catching the Moon" immediately became "Stars and Moon Falling". He turned his head to look at Qiao Feng, and said with a smile for a long time: "When did Brother Qiao come?" ”
Qiao Feng stepped forward, stepped on the barrel of the gun with his right foot, and then put the long/gun into his hand. "When did Brother Breed become interested in marksmanship?"
"I just chatted with Murong for a while, the array in the army is extremely powerful, even if you fight alone, you are very good, this is ......" Seed Master Dao glanced at Qiao Feng cautiously, making sure that he was not angry, so he added with a conscience. I pestered Murong to teach. ”
"What about Murong?" Qiao Feng really didn't care, just asked Murong Fu's whereabouts.
"In the study, I said that I remembered a few useful arrays, and I was going to write them down for me to take back to my uncle for study." The planter replied. Seeing Qiao Feng raise his leg and go to the study, he hurriedly chased after him. "Brother Qiao, Brother Qiao......"
Without waiting for the Seed Master Dao to finish speaking, Qiao Feng changed his hand and pushed the long/spear into his arms again. "Practice hard, don't let down Murong's hard work!"
Murong Fu, who was immersed in affairs in the study, was obviously very surprised to see Qiao Feng suddenly appear, he slowly stood up from behind the table and looked at the other party silently.
Qiao Feng strode forward and flipped through Murong Fu's desk casually. The sorting out of "All Tang Poems" has only begun, Qin Guan found people to scatter to collect Tang poems, and made a list to ask for money; Zong Ze, who was in Shandong Iron and Steel, also wrote a letter to discuss steelmaking technology, and then euphemistically said that the research and development funds were slightly insufficient; Bi Sheng's descendants have found their whereabouts and are preparing to invite them to Bianjing, and the travel expenses and settlement expenses for Bi Sheng's family must always be prepared in advance; Bao Wei, who was far away in Shanghai Town, also sent a letter to report the construction progress of Shanghai Town, asking for the second phase of the project; Boss Fan of Mingzhou also sent a message, saying that the big ship ordered by Murong Fu had been completed and could be launched at any time, and the final payment should also be settled...... Flipping through the various arrays that Murong Fu had written half in front of him, and glancing at the schedule on the table, Qiao Feng couldn't help but smile. Compared with the myriad events in front of them, a group of Xia people who have been dead for two years really have no weight.
"Murong ......" Qiao Feng stared at Murong Fu's eyes, he had a thousand words in his heart that he wanted to pour out to Murong Fu, but in the end, he could only squeeze out one sentence. If you don't want to do it, I'll accompany you to laugh proudly; If you still want to continue, let me help you! ”
