"For a hundred years, the tribe surnamed Di, who moved to the Central Plains from the northern grasslands, has been active in the Emei Mountains and has lived and worked in peace and contentment. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info until the end of the Tang Dynasty, warlords scuffle, feudal towns and towns, local festival envoys held military power, invaded each other, and naturally hurt the Di surname Zhubu. So more than 40 years ago, the tribes surnamed Di elected Di Shichong as the king of Khan, established the Zhongheng State, and operated around the Emei Mountains, only protecting the territory and the people, and never launching a war of aggression. In the process of its founding, our Emei faction has helped many times. Thanks to the friendship between Zhonghengguo and my Emei faction, in terms of faith, Zhonghengguo is all focused on Emei. Di Shichong, the queen and the prince's children often come to my Emei to worship the Buddha. In view of the exchange of courtesies, I also sent people to Zhonghengguo, mainly responsible for some swordsmanship of the guards of the Pope's palace and the prince's disciples, and the people sent to enter and leave the palace as freely as going home. Everything is very happy. ”

"But when the moon is full, it loses. In the winter of the twenty-fifth year of Di Shichong's reign, because the first master was in retreat, the third senior brother was protecting the Dharma, and the senior brother was having fun alone, so I was in charge of the trivial affairs of the mountain gate. One day, Gao Changjue came to Mount Emei. The so-called Gao Changjue, which is what you call Xiao Gao Laizi, came to Mount Emei and said that he had something important to do with Emei. After retiring from the left and right disciples, Gao Changjue said: "Nanping Kingdom has sent secret agents to Zhongheng Kingdom many times, and the informant newspaper said that there is a secret room in the palace of Zhongheng Kingdom, in which they have collected secret documents from the Central Plains for three hundred years, in order to report the shame of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty to destroy the family. Di Shichong had already intended to lead his troops to move north, return to the grassland, and prepare for an incident, saying that this was also the meaning of the tribal chiefs. The old man was puzzled, but his thoughts were undecided. After a while, Gao Changjue showed a book that recorded the world affairs of my Emei faction, and the outer packaging was also stamped with the seal of the Khan of Zhonghengguo. When I opened it, I saw that some of the things recorded in it were known to those I had sent to them, but they were also recorded. At that time, I believed a little more. Then, Gao Changjue showed the alliance leader's arrow, and said: "The alliance leader has an idea in this matter, and will unite with fellow martial artists to get rid of this bane together. Although I have a good relationship with Zhonghengguo, the two things are so consistent, and I immediately said: 'My Emei faction is willing to listen to the orders of the alliance leader. Then Gao Changjue once again affirmed: Next year's Lantern Festival in the first month, my Nanping Kingdom will discuss major matters with all heroes and heroes. ”

"After the first teacher left the customs, I told the matter. After hearing this, the first teacher only said: 'It is a matter of the righteousness of the famous people, and it cannot be abolished.' Cheng'er is so strong, everything should be done carefully. As a teacher, he has not asked about the world for many years. This matter is at the disposal of the two of you. Because I am the senior brother and the third junior brother is filial, the third junior brother is in charge of the mountain gate, and I went to meet Gao Changjue and others. ”

"Zhonghengguo has long been integrated into the Central Plains culture, and the Lantern Festival is very lively. In the capital, the roads crisscross each other, pedestrians shoulder to shoulder, or enjoy the lanterns, or eat glutinous rice balls, or set off firecrackers, or dance the dragon and lion. It was also at this time, when 'the lamps and trees shone a thousand times, and the bright moon came one by one,' that all of us dressed in plain clothes and entered the city with our entourage, waiting in every corner. Suddenly, a cannon rang out outside the city, and some people in the city immediately set fire to it, and soon all the houses were burned to the ground. We are considered decent people in martial arts, and we all looked stupid, thinking: Where is this what we have done, I really hate such cruel behavior. At first, I thought it was an order from the alliance leader, but later I learned that it was a coalition of feudal towns led by Gao Changjue, and all those who escaped from the city were shot by Gao Changjue. Because the more they kill, the more red they become, the people in the rivers and lakes can't extricate themselves, and they all have to cut down with a big sword. The entire capital soon became a sea of fire, and the pedestrians who were once happy and happy became the souls of the martyrs. People with a little conscience will shudder when they see such a scene. Song Qiaoxi lives in sin every day, and Xu Qingen can't sleep at night without drinking, which are all real examples. ”

"When the people outside the palace and inside the capital were basically killed, Gao Changjue led his troops into the city, leaving a force to continue the search or look for money everywhere. After that, everyone headed for the palace. I signaled to all the disciples of the Emei faction not to kill the people of Zhongheng again, and all the disciples I sent were not allowed to enter the palace, and only I followed the movement of the large army. The leader of the alliance also ordered: If it is not a last resort, no sword shall be used. Because the prince's younger brother learned more of my Emei swordsmanship, the most advanced people in the palace suffered relatively large casualties. Gao Changjue already had a very simple idea, leading the shield soldiers in front and the archers behind, and a burst of rockets went down, breaking through the defenses of the palace one by one and killing the main hall of the palace. The main hall of the palace is the meeting hall of Zhonghengguo, and the so-called secret room is behind the throne of the Khan. ”

At this time, there were only Di Shichong, the lord of Zhongheng Kingdom, the princess Qin, the captain of the guard, Luo Lao'er, the two-and-a-half-year-old princess, and a maidservant girl in the main hall. Di Shichong held a long lance, ten thousand enemies, and everyone did not dare to move forward half a step. At that time, Di Shichong asked Luo Lao'er to lead the princess, the little princess and the maidservant to the back of the palace, and cut off the queen himself. Gao Chang felt anxious and ordered the archers to prepare. In a series of fires, Di Shichong was hit by arrows in many places, and the arrows were highly poisonous. At this point, I rushed in from outside the main hall and rescued him. After ......"

"I'll add to the rest." When everyone looked at it, it was Yu Xingxiao's words. Yu Xingxiao walked forward, and then said: "At that time, the old man had just succeeded to the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, and I heard that Gao Changjue said that Zhonghengguo had the heart of not subordinating to the Central Plains, and sent people to Zhonghengguo and other places to investigate, how did you know that it was all Gao Changjue's tricks!" And I thought that I had the exact news, so I ordered the leader of the alliance to join the people of Wulin, and united with Gao Changjue and other armies to besiege Zhonghengguo. This is also the biggest guilt of the old man in this life. ”

After that, Gao Changjue did not order an immediate pursuit, but only ordered people to work hard to open the secret room. And I interrupted from it and said, "I think Lord Gao is not for the Central Plains Li people to eliminate harm, but for the treasure of Zhongheng Kingdom, right?" ’

Gao Changjue thought that the general trend had been decided, and he said with a smile: "Since the alliance leader has said it bluntly, then I will no longer hide it from everyone." Yes, there is a treasure in Zhonghengguo, which should be in this secret room. Don't you want to get a copy? ’

I was angry and said, 'What is the difference between such cruelty and the cruelty of a robber, and how different are we from beasts!' ’

Gao Changjue was calm and said: "In this world, the winner is the king, and the loser is the villain. The rest of the alliance leader can sit in the position of the alliance leader, it won't rely on the foaming stars. In that case, why bother? And now, even if you don't say it, it's already done. We can only work together, otherwise it will still be a hidden danger. As the saying goes: cutting grass does not remove roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows. For the sake of today's plan, it should be up to the Yu Alliance Master to act. ’”

"At that time, although I didn't want to be in the company of such shameless people, it would not be a good thing to let Lord Di and the others escape. And everyone present felt that since they were wrong, they had to be wrong to the end. Therefore, while I sent people to continue to chase behind the main hall, I asked people to blockade the capital of Zhonghengguo. And Gao Changjue and the others spent half a day of effort and finally opened the secret room. However, a funny thing happened, only in the secret room were some rotten production tools that Emperor Taizong gave them when they moved south, such as hoes, sickles, plowshares, etc., and nothing else. Everyone was dumbfounded. ”

Di Fan said very seriously: "That is to say, you martial arts heroes, united the official army, killed everyone in Zhongheng Kingdom, and worked so hard to get some rotten wood from the people of Zhongheng Kingdom in order to remember Li Shimin's kindness, right?" From Yu Xingxiao and Gao Baorong down, everyone lowered their heads, and no one dared to answer.

Then, Di Fan said kindly: "Therefore, the power of life and death, the ancient sages are still cautious in using it, not to mention these ordinary people of my generation!" For example, the Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty just mentioned, the county order felt that whoever was convicted of a felony should be killed, and he had to get the common letter of the criminal department and the servant, and sometimes Li Shimin had to nod his head finally before he could be executed. If you don't know how to do things, you can read more books and ask for everyone's opinions. The people promised. Everyone was quiet for a while, only Xiao Liuzi and Xu Qingen were still fighting, and the old man Xuanyuan had something to say to Di Fan alone, so everyone went to watch how the two of them performed their swordsmanship.

Di Fan said to the old man Xuanyuan: "What else does Mr. have to say, as long as Xiao Fan can do it, he will definitely do it." ”

Old Man Xuanyuan was very satisfied, smiled, and said, "Why don't I think it's you talking to me!" ”

"Sir said that I laughed, I will always be your 'Brother Di'."

"Brother, what about me, I still have something to say to you alone, let me explain it to you." The old man Xuanyuan was a little witty, and continued, "Back then, I helped Di Shichong escape from the palace, because he was seriously injured and covered with poisoned arrows, and he died soon after. The old man cremated it and buried it in the backyard of Xuanyuan Pavilion, and Wanwang brother put incense on the pillar for me during the New Year's Festival, which is one of them; Second, Di Shichong's lance is also in the backyard, which is where we learn, one of which is in the plum blossom pile; Third, it is the matter of the treasure of Zhongheng Kingdom, as far as I know, the treasure map is divided into four, one is in the rivers and lakes, one is in the queen, one is kept by Di Shichong, and one is in the hands of the patriarch of the Di tribe, and only the long lance marksmanship can open the door of the treasure place; Fourth, it is the queen's business. ”

Di Fan wanted to speak, but the old man Xuanyuan stopped and said, "Brother, you listen to me first." Once, Di Shichong, Princess Khan and some attendants came to Emei to listen to the Dharma of the ancestors. Di Shichong was so obsessed with Buddhism that he could even ignore the government. And the princess Khan is in her prime age, she is lively and beautiful, and she can't stand it for a while. The first master saw it in his eyes, and with the consent of Di Shichong, accompanied by me, he led the princess to the back mountain to enjoy the scenery of Emei. With this time, there are many times later. After a long time, and Di Shichong devoted himself to worshiping the Buddha, the princess and I did a foolish thing, and left a daughter in the twenty-fourth year of Zhonghengguo, thinking that the age should be the same as that little princess. Because I had an agreement with the princess at that time, I went out of Zhonghengguo and met in the thatched hut under the Seven Star Altar Mountain. Just because of dealing with Di Shichong's funeral, he went late, and he never saw the princess again, but I think she is still in the world. So the fourth thing is to hope that Brother Di can help find his whereabouts. ”

"How does the gentleman know that the princess is still alive, and what characteristics does she have, so that it is easy to find. It is better for the gentleman to tell the truth, and the more the merrier. ”

"Brother Di is Brother Di." Seeing that he couldn't hide anything, the old man Xuanyuan took out a pair of jade cups from his arms, and then said: "After committing a foolish thing back then, I used this pair of jade cups to drink a glass of wine. Before the so-called Gao's strange case happened, I received one of them. The princess has two distinct features: there is an obvious scar between Taiyuan and Yuji on her left hand, and there are three equidistant moles on her chin in the shape of triangles. ”

"I see."

"You know, I still don't understand. To be honest, what evidence does my brother have to suspect the old man? ”

"Actually, there is no evidence, it is all Mr. himself who wants to cover it up. Because I knew that there would be an image of a jackal on the wall of Mr.'s residence, and Mr. only said that he had saved the little princess, and did not talk about saving Di Shichong. So at the beginning, by the way, Wang Congrong made up a story in advance, so he ......"

"Okay, you stinky boy, you dare to calculate the old man."

Di Fan blushed for a while and said, "Actually, after listening to Mr.'s story, I don't think the mastermind can be found out for a while." ”

"Are you going to continue investigating?"

Di Fan smiled but didn't answer, so he called Bai Liang and asked him to call Qian Wanguan and invite Yuan Yang and the others over. At that time, Xiao Liuzi was nervous and shouted: "Boss, save me!" Boss, save me! Boss, save me! The old man Xuanyuan motioned to Di Fan to deal with it with Haotian double swords, Di Fan nodded, bowed, shouted "Master", and turned around and said, "After dealing with Xu Qingen's matter, I will kill three more rounds." After that, he held a long sword in his right hand and a short sword in his left hand, and went to relieve the siege of Xiao Liuzi.

Although the night before yesterday, Di Fan easily restrained Xu Qingen, but after all, it was a close combat, and Di Fan had a great advantage. When Di Fan left, the old man Xuanyuan was already dying, and a series of actions and words in front of Di Fan were hysterical and used his last bit of true strength. In the vague perspective, it can be vaguely seen that Di Fan has more than seventy percent of his skills from the combination of body shape footwork and swordsmanship: just as Xu Qingen slashed at Xiao Liuzi's head with a sword, at this time Xiao Liuzi's sword had been unloaded, Di Fan quickly took an arrow step, blocked the cloud sword in his right hand, and stabbed Xu Qingen's abdomen with a short sword in his left hand. Xu Qingen stepped back and used his scabbard to resist the Haotian short sword. Di Fan borrowed the short sword in his left hand to block Xu Qingen and rush over quickly, one took off, and then he rushed down, pointing directly at Xu Qingen's Heavenly Spirit Gai. This is a coherent march chasing the wind and riding a dragon. Because Xu Qingen's reaction was not fast enough and he was relatively close to the core, Di Fan's long sword tip hit the ground, and another one took off into the air, and the long sword slowly slashed towards Xu Qingen from the ground. Xu Qingen had to use his sword and scabbard to cross at the same time. However, when the Haotian long sword first touched Xu Qingen, the sword walked like a meteor, like a thousand pounds, and for a while Xu Qingen's sword and scabbard fell off one after another, and the clothes were split out of the middle. Xu Qingen was in a cold sweat and stopped moving. When Di Fan's long sword swept by, it stuck backwards on the ground, and his feet rose again, kicking Xu Qingen's chest. Naturally, Xu Qingen only has the share of sin. Suddenly, a bundle of pink silk silk tied Xu Qingen's waist and pulled him over. Xu Qingen was lucky and escaped the catastrophe.

When Di Fan was about to look up to see who saved Xu Qingen, the old man Xuanyuan only said to Yuan Yang, Di Rong and others who had just arrived: "In the future, you should listen to Brother Di Fan's teachings more, and don't act without authorization." After that, he died, and everyone burst into tears. And Yu Xingxiao also fainted due to physical exhaustion.

I don't know who saved Xu Qingen, I don't know how Yu Xingxiao's life was, and I don't know how Di Fan cleaned up the mess, and listened to the narration of Chapter 13 of "The Story of Troubled Stones".
