Chapter 42: The Four Heroes of the Past
It turned out that Hua Jiu was rescued by Lou Xiaoyue, and Ma Qian breathed a sigh of relief after knowing it, but seeing that she was still unconscious, he couldn't help but regret it a little.
Hey, I knew I wouldn't let her take care of this matter, and she wouldn't be poisoned.
"The poison on her body has dissipated, and she will be fine when she wakes up." Seeing his worried look, Lou Xiaoyue spoke at this time.
He nodded, then sighed, "Hey, I shouldn't have involved her in this." With that, he put his hands behind his back and walked towards the door.
"What's the matter?" Lou Xiaoyue asked.
He glanced at him, and then said, "Originally, I wanted to retire to the rivers and lakes and stop asking about the affairs of the rivers and lakes. Then he sighed and said: "Recently, there has been a lot of change in the rivers and lakes, and I am afraid that the scene ten years ago will be repeated, and then there will be no day of peace in the bloody storm, hey, it will be those innocent people who will suffer." ”
As he spoke, he couldn't help but think back to the past
Back then, Duan Jinkong, Ma Gan, Long Batian, and Qiu Yuan were also known as the Four Heroes of the Jianghu, and they often traveled the world together and acted chivalrous and righteous. Later, they met the Empty Ancestor, so they worshipped him as a teacher together.
After a few more years, the Void Ancestor suddenly forged a sharp sword, and I heard that it was extremely powerful, which was now the Tianzong Sword. At that time, among the four of their senior brothers, only Long Batian and Qiu Yuan were almost qualified, so the two of them saw that Ma Gan and Duan Jinkong's skills were increasing day by day, and they became jealous, and privately looked around for a way to achieve martial arts quickly, but to no avail.
So, the two gradually came up with the idea of the Tianzong Sword, and discussed together how to make the master hand it over, and finally succeeded after several tosses.
Ma Gan vaguely remembered that back then, when Qiu Yuan was about to steal the sword of Tianzong, the Empty Ancestor suddenly came, so he was furious, abolished his martial arts on the spot and expelled him from the division, and since then there has been no news of him.
Later, the Tianzong Sword inexplicably came into the hands of Long Batian, and he forced the Empty Ancestor to tell the secret of this sword cultivation, but he refused, so he killed him with a sword in a fit of anger.
Since then, only Ma Gan and Duan Jinkong have been left among the four heroes of the rivers and lakes. Long Batian has also become the devil of the rivers and lakes, and no one knows his crime of deceiving his teachers and destroying his ancestors. After that, he established the Heavenly Sect, which is also the Demon Sect as the Jianghu said.
Gradually, he practiced the sword of Tianzong, and he didn't know how many people he killed and how many sects he washed in blood...... At that time, the rivers and lakes were bloody and rainy, and there was no day of peace, and it was the ordinary people who suffered, and the innocent people were affected.
…………
At the end of the recollection, Ma Gan is worried about repeating the mistakes of the past at the moment, because recently, the forces of several parties in the rivers and lakes are ready to move, take the folding immortal fan as an example, Gu Biqiu is the victim of passive waves.
"Can you help me with something?" He suddenly turned around and said to Lou Xiaoyue.
And Lou Xiaoyue immediately nodded in agreement, "You say." ”
Then I saw Ma Gan glanced at Hua Jiu, who was still asleep, and said: "To protect her safety, although I have only known her for a few days, this girl is too simple, she doesn't understand the sinister nature of this river and lake, and she will suffer a big loss one day." ”
Hua Jiu was born with a simple personality, soft heart and kindness, she has very low requirements for her life, she just wants to have chickens to eat every day, and her goal is also very ordinary, that is, to be a great thief like her master and become famous all over the world.
After Lou Xiaoyue glanced at her, she immediately agreed, "Okay." ”
Hearing this answer, Ma Gan was relieved, so he began to deal with Gu Biqiu's matter with peace of mind.
He and Gu Biqiu rushed back to Gu Wang's Mansion along the road, presumably it should be a mess there now, and I don't know what those Wenchen would react to when they woke up, as well as Gu Biqiu's wife and daughter, I don't know what.
The folding immortal fan is a treasure to deal with the magic qin, and it came to Gu Biqiu's hands by mistake. Now Ma Gan must find out who is behind the scenes of the masked fox and nightingale, as well as Hua Yu, who are they doing things for, why do they want to get the Folding Immortal Fan so much, will it be Yucheng'an's enemy?
The more I think about it, the more complicated the relationship becomes, but the most important clue at the moment is the person who folded the immortal fan for Gu Biqiu.
"City Lord, do you know where that friend of yours lives?" On the way, Ma Gan asked about Gu Biqiulai.
Gu Biqiu thought for a while and then replied: "He is my only friend in the rivers and lakes, and he often helped me when he led troops to fight in the past. As for where he lives, I really don't know, those people in the rivers and lakes should not have a designated residence. ”
"Where's his name?" He asked again.
"Luo Shaoqiu." Gu Biqiu replied truthfully.
Luo Shaoqiu? Hearing this name, Ma Gan couldn't help but feel familiar, so he tried to recall it in his mind.
Could it be ...... The people of Lockeburg?
No matter how he thought about it, he thought it was likely, so he began to think about going to Locke's Fort to see what was going on. Luojiabao is located on the border of the Central Plains, and it will take seven or eight days to travel from here, so it is not too late to settle down in Gubiqiu first.
Finally, after a half-day journey, the two returned to the Lonely King's Mansion.
At this time, the gate of the Lone King's Mansion was open, and Gu Biqiu rushed in first, and saw some guards sitting on the ground rubbing their eyes, it should have just woken up not long ago. A few guards at the door of the main hall were startled when they saw Gu Biqiu, they didn't remember anything, they only remembered that they fainted inexplicably yesterday, and then when they woke up, they saw their own city lord, so they hurriedly greeted:
"City Lord."
Gu Biqiu waved his hand helplessly, and at a glance, he saw the civil servants and officials in the main hall, some were still sleeping on their stomachs, and some had just woken up, rubbing their heavy heads.
So, he instructed the guards, "Wake up the others quickly, and then let the adults inside go home." ”
"Yes." The guards said in unison, and then left one after another.
At this time, Gu Biqiu hurriedly led Ma Qian to the west wing, and the door was no longer guarded, but there was still a big golden lock tied to it.
"My wife and daughter are here." He turned his head and said to Ma Gan behind him.
Sure enough, there was a problem here, Ma Gan suddenly realized at this moment, yesterday he was curious about what was inside, he was guarded like this, it turned out to be Gu Luoling and Gu Biqiu who were imprisoned.
So without saying a word, he kicked the door open, and suddenly, the door panel loosened and fell to the ground and cracked in half.
The guards inside were obviously also in a state of fainting, and there were a few maids, but the movement was too loud just now, and several of them struggled to wake up.
Seeing Gu Biqiu, several people were also surprised: "City Lord?!" ”
"All out." Gu Biqiu said.
Because the poisonous fragrance of the tassel is notoriously powerful and can make people hallucinate, most of the people in the Lonely Wangfu are accused by her. For example, these people in the West Wing have no idea how they are here, and they don't know what they have done during the time they were accused.
However, the most pitiful thing is the main victim of this incident - Gu Luoling.
