Chapter Twenty-Four: The Farewell of the Princes of the World

The New Year in Yangzhou passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth day of the first month, and everyone gathered together on this day. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Feng Ao, what are your plans for the New Year?" Zhu Jinzhao asked.

"A letter has been sent from the family, and during the Chinese New Year, some Nanyang remnants entered Beijing to ask for a meeting, hoping to get the protection of the Ming Dynasty. Although the remnants of the Ming Dynasty are overseas, they are ultimately the children of the Han people. In recent years, the Japanese have also become more and more rampant, and the rectification of the maritime frontier must finally be put on the agenda. It's just that the imperial court is about to use troops against the northwest, and it can't take care of it for a while. So I'm going to go to Quanzhou first, and then to Lingnan to investigate maritime affairs. Wu Feng said.

"You're fine, running around. I'm the most pitiful, forced to go back by my family! Shi Muqing lowered her head and muttered, her family had been urging her to go back years ago, but she had been pretending not to receive the news. After the New Year, he sent someone to Yangzhou to arrest her and go back.

Looking at Shi Muqing's aggrieved appearance, Wu Fengao smiled and comforted: "Okay, you go home for the time being." When I'm done with my business, I'll go back to Beijing to pick you up, and we'll travel together then. ”

"That's it! Don't lie, take me out anyway! Shi Muqing said with wide eyes.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Wu Fengao had no choice but to agree.

"What about Miss Gongsun and the two young ladies of the Su family?" Zhu Jinzhao asked.

Hearing this, the three daughters looked at Wu Fengao.

Wu Fengao also knew what the third daughter meant, and said: "This trip is a long way, and it may be inconvenient for Miss Gongsun and the two young ladies of the Su family to go together. The father had a very good relationship with Su Xingxiu, the head of the Lushan faction, and escorted the three girls to Lushan for a temporary stay, and then picked up the three girls when he returned.

I had told them about this before, and although Gongsun Jianwu was reluctant in his heart, there was no other way. The two sisters of the Su family were well-behaved and obedient, but they had to obey.

"Although you are free and easy in Yangzhou, you still need to plan for the future." Wu Fengao said to Zhu Jinzhao.

Zhu Jinzhao also knew what Wu Fengao meant, after all, it was impossible to pretend to be sick in Yangzhou for the rest of his life. and how to arrange Fu Qingsi's name, these often flash in his mind. But he deliberately avoided it.

"I see." Zhu Jinzhao replied. Wu Fengao knew his thoughts, just as he hid in Yangzhou for the New Year this time. The "year" will pass soon, and everyone will eventually face reality, but the happiness of the "year" is real. Instead of hesitating on the future, it is better to enjoy the present, and I only hope that when the moment comes to face reality, he will have enough courage and determination.

The day of separation soon came, and the group stood on the canal wharf to bid farewell to Shi Muqing.

The passenger ship slowly left the shore, Shi Muqing's eyes were red and almost tearful, and he looked at the friends who saw him off until the boat was far away.

Gongsun Jianwu was also reluctant, and the sadness on his face never dissipated. The most painful parting was when Wu Fengao wanted to comfort him, but he couldn't say anything suitable.

After bidding farewell to Shi Muqing, Wu Fengao also set off to send Gongsun Jianwu and the Su family sisters to Lushan. Lu Yuanhong learned that Wu Fengao was going to send his daughters to Lushan, and he also asked him to introduce his daughter Lu Yingxue to the Lushan faction. Wu Fengao agreed. In the correspondence, he had been informed that the head of Lushan would come to visit him soon, and Su Xingxiu was very happy to learn that his nephew was visiting, and he had ordered someone to sort out a house for living.

Lushan is worthy of being the famous mountain in the Central Plains, and before entering the mountain, it has felt that the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the birds and insects are singing. At this time, although there is still a cold spring, the plants and trees along the way are full of sprouts and vitality, which is really refreshing.

After entering the mountain, it seems that there is a sudden change of world, surrounded by clouds and mist in the mountains, there are waterfalls hanging down according to the mountains everywhere, and occasionally there are three or two cranes flying through the clouds and mist in the mountains, making one or two cries, it is really a scene of fairyland on earth.

Although Lushan is beautiful, Wu Fengao still took out a cloak and put it on the women to prevent them from being injured by the cold in the mountains.

The Lushan faction is a sect, perhaps influenced by the immortal energy of the place, and does not participate too much in the disputes of the rivers and lakes, and retreats from the world to study Taoism and martial arts. The style of the sect is also very open-minded, there are several temples and temples in the mountains, never bully people to relocate, and often help people and be kind.

After driving in the mountains for a while, I met a boy with firewood.

"This Dao Leader, dare to ask the Lushan faction how to go." Wu Fengao asked.

"Childe is from the capital?" Dao Tong asked.

"Exactly."

"Please come with me, the head of my family has explained earlier, and a son from the capital has come to visit." After speaking, Xiaodao Tong led the way in front with firewood on his back. Wu Fengao wanted him to get in the car and sit together, but he refused, so he had to drive the carriage behind.

Not long to come to the gate of the Lushan faction, the gate is made of logs in the mountains, natural and simple. The plaque on the door is written with the three big characters of "Lushan School", which makes people feel elegant and atmospheric.

"Please wait a minute, the senior brother in the door has gone to inform the master." After speaking, he bowed and left.

"There is labor!" After Wu Feng soared into the mountain, he felt that the mountains and rivers here were simple and pure, and he couldn't help but sigh that it was really a treasure land of immortals.

"Wu Shinephew, I haven't seen you grow from a little doll to a handsome son for many years!" Su Xingxiu walked from afar and said loudly.

"I've seen Uncle Su!" Wu Fengao stood up and saluted, and Gongsun Jianwu, Lu Yingxue, and the Su family sisters got up and saluted slightly.

When Su Xingxiu saw the women around Wu Fengao, he smiled and said, "It's really young and romantic!" ”

"Where, where! Uncle Su misunderstood. Wu Fengao's memory of Su Xingxiu is only that he came to the house a few times when he was young, when he was young, he pestered him to perform light skills and fly against the wall, or pestered him to play with the sword around his waist. Seeing each other at this time, he was somewhat restrained, so he had to tell the story of Gongsun Jianwu and the Su family sisters, and explained that Lu Yingxue wanted to worship under the Lushan faction. Of course, the kidnapping of Gongsun Jianwu was changed to Lu Jian and rescued the girl.

"Oh, if that's the case, then don't worry, as long as you are in my Lushan faction, all the girls will definitely be fine. It is okay to travel in the mountains ordinarily, or to travel with the disciples of the sect. There are also female disciples in the door who are taught by my junior sister, so I don't have to worry about having no playmates, and if I am willing to practice martial arts, I can also do it together. Please rest assured! Su Xingxiu assured.

Wu Fengao was just about to thank him, when a voice came from outside the door: "What are you talking about me?" "The person who came was Su Xingxiu's younger sister and his wife Xie Qianning.

I saw a dignified beautiful woman walking with a smile, and the skirt swayed slightly with the pace.

"Hello Aunt Su!" Wu Fengao got up again and saluted, and the women also followed suit.

"Yo! Xiao Feng Ao! I haven't seen you grow into a guy for many years, and you have learned to abduct girls? I really can't see how I rode on your uncle's head and peed my pants on the wall! Xie Qianning said and rubbed Wu Fengao's face with her hand.

"Where is it, where is it..."When the childhood incident was said, Wu Fengao could only bow his head and smile awkwardly, and all the girls covered their mouths and snickered when they heard it.

"Look, look at these girls, it's really beautiful and moonlight, and it's as cheap as possible for these stinky men!" Xie Qianning said and glanced at Su Xingxiu. Su Xingxiu snorted and pretended not to see it.

Xie Qianning didn't have the frame of an elder at all, and her words were witty, which soon made the women feel kind. and thought that others called her "aunt" to show her old age, so the women called her "aunt". After a while, he took Gongsun Jianwu and the Su family sisters to take a walk in the door.

"Uncle Su, my nephew came in a hurry this time, and I didn't prepare any gifts. This is an accidental get, and it is all a gift to the door. Wu Fengao said and took out a bottle of Black Emperor Ning Yuan Dan given by Lu Yuanhong, and handed it to Su Xingxiu with both hands.

Su Xingxiu knew that this thing was precious when he heard it, and he couldn't refuse.

Wu Fengao said: "The younger generation is still shallow in martial arts, so it is useless to serve such a treasure, and the treasure can only find a suitable owner is a beautiful thing in the world." It would be a pity if it was wasted.

Under Wu Fengao's repeated persuasion, Su Xingxiu accepted it.

Wu Fengao stayed in the Lushan faction for a few days, and he felt refreshed, as if he was no longer in the world. I can't help but sigh that it is no wonder that the Lushan faction has rarely appeared in the rivers and lakes, with this cave and blessed land, who still admires the world to fight.

In the past few days, Lu Yingxue officially worshiped under Xie Qianning's sect as a registered disciple of the Lushan faction. Gongsun Jianwu and the Su sisters are just guest houses, but several people usually go in and out together, and they are all guided by Xie Qianning.

In the afternoon of this day, I was drinking tea in the small pavilion between the mountains and rivers, because Wu Fengao was going to leave tomorrow, and the girls were not as happy as before.

"Miss Lu, that day I got a sword in the secret vault of the Cao Gang with your father, why can't ordinary people use it, why don't you try it." As he spoke, he took out the Flowing Cloud Smoke and Rain Sword and handed it to Lu Yingxue.

Lu Yingxue had already learned some basic swordsmanship moves from Xie Qianning in a few days, and he tried it when he pulled out the Flowing Cloud and Rain Sword. Lu Yingxue had just started practicing martial arts, and she didn't have internal strength, so she didn't feel too light this sword. The ordinary basic sword moves seem to be a lot more agile and swift under this sword, and the smoke generated by the swing of the sword body is beautiful, revealing a sword power.

Xie Qianning passed by and saw everyone and walked over. Seeing that Lu Yingxue had finished practicing a set of swordsmanship, he wanted to check it through the flowing clouds, smoke and rain sword.

"It's really an interesting sword, and the wielder can't use it if he has a little internal force before using it. Only those who grow up with this sword can integrate with it and use it freely. After Xie Qianning finished speaking, he returned the sword to Lu Yingxue.

Lu Yingxue knew that this sword was precious, and wanted to refuse.

"This sword has been in my possession for a long time, and no one can use it. It's fate that you can use it, and besides, this sword was obtained by your father and me, so it's best to give it to you. Wu Feng said.

Lu Yingxue had to thank him and accept it.

In the evening, Su Xingxiu set up a banquet for Wu Fengao to practice, and after the banquet, Su Xingxiu pulled Wu Fengao again, and only said: "If you encounter a sword fairy leaf alone on this trip, you must be cautious." ”

Wu Fengao has heard of the name of Sword Immortal, maybe he can be called the first person in martial arts today. The land of Lingnan is far away from the Central Plains, and goes southwest to Cochin and Siam. That year, the king of Siam instigated the Baiyue rebellion, and the imperial army went far to quell the rebellion, and the battle was not able to be captured for a long time. Ye Lone Xing started an incident in the hinterland of Baiyue, echoing with the imperial army. In the end, the Baiyue war was quelled, and the land of Baiyue was all returned to the sword fairy Ye alone. The imperial court made an exception to canonize him as the king, took charge of the land of Baiyue, and rejected Siam.

Wu Fengao wanted to ask carefully, but Su Xingxiu said that he didn't know much, in short, it was better to be careful.

On the second day, Wu Feng bid farewell to Su Xingxiu, and rode on a horse to gallop out of the mountain in the farewell of the women.
