Chapter 49: Apparitions
"Whoa!" Another basin of cold and biting well water poured on Wu Yuanming, but now it is the thirty-nine days that the water has been dripping into ice, Wu Yuanming, who was already so frightened that he foamed at the mouth and fainted, was excited by the ice water, and he couldn't faint if he wanted to, so he had to sober up, and kept begging for mercy in his mouth, "Heroes spare their lives, heroes spare their lives, you can spare as much silver as you want, just ask you to spare my life......." ”
Until this moment, Wu Yuanming could see the situation in the room clearly, and found that this was a room with a medium area, in addition to the spiritual platform in the room, there were only a few long red benches with vermilion paint, and the windows were all closed, so it was impossible to judge the location of the room, but Wu Yuanming was arrested when it was the first shift, and the nine gates had been closed and could not leave the city, and Wu Yuanming should still be in Beijing. Thinking about this, Wu Yuanming couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope, his father's intelligence network was all over Beijing, and the rescuers might have hope to find here.
Looking at the characters in the room again, there were about forty or fifty people standing in the small room, surrounding Wu Yuanming tightly, all wearing white filial piety clothes, and many of them were still wearing colors, it seemed that they were the assassins who participated in the assassination of Hui'er and Wu Yuanming just now, and the seven men, one woman and eight people standing next to the Lingtai seemed to be the leaders of these people, six of the eight people were relatively old, and there were two pairs of pairs that looked very similar and might be brothers. The other man and woman are very young, the man is in his early twenties, and his appearance is quite handsome, and the woman is only seventeen or eighteen years old. Although these people are men and women, old and young, they all burst into tears, and they all have to stare at Wu Yuanming, who is full of evil, with piercing resentment, and there is a tendency to devour Wu Yuanming alive, and the righteous gaze makes Wu Yuanming frightened, and he knows that great trouble is coming.
"Little traitor, there is a debtor who is wronged, you can hear clearly, so as not to be a wronged ghost from Lord Yama!" The female assassin's brother stepped forward, pointed at Wu Yuanming and said, "My name is Mu Shenbao, and I am the fourth son of Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Qianguo!" Mu Shenbao pointed to the girl assassin who was crying with pear blossoms and rain, and said: "She is my fifth sister Mu Meng, and she is also the queen of the Duke of Qianguo." There are also these six, namely Liu Tianyou, Bai Hansong, Bai Lingsong, Fang Yingjie, Su Bin and Su Youquan, all of whom are the descendants of the four generals of Mu Wangfu who were ruined by your Wu family! ”
"Wu Yingxiong has seen the little grandfather, the little county lord, the six heroes, and all the heroes and heroines." When Mu Shenbao introduced, Wu Yuanming kept nodding his head and patting his ass, trying to delay time, "All the heroes of Yibo Yuntian are really majestic, all of them are brave and mighty, and their chivalry is extraordinary, which makes people's hearts break." All the heroines are as beautiful as fairies, British, and women don't let their eyebrows go. Wu Yingxiong has admired you for a long time, and seeing you today is enough to comfort the three lives. On another day, please sit in Shihu Hutong, and Ying Xiong will definitely meet ....... ”
"Shut your dog's mouth!" Liu Tianyou, one of the four generals of Mu Wangfu, interrupted Wu Yuanming hatefully, and shouted angrily: "Don't make friends with us, we can't wait to eat your flesh and sleep on your skin, today you fell into our hands, it is your retribution!" ”
Liu Tianyou was burly, and his voice was very loud, and the righteous roar shook Wu Yuanming's ears and made Wu Yuanming's ears even more distracted. But in order to save his life, Wu Yuanming still protested: "General Liu, little prince, your ancestors and the Duke of Qianguo were killed by the king of Burma, although it was because of my father's coercion, but my father did not do it himself, I was also in Beijing at the time, and I had nothing to do with it." Since it's none of our Wu family's business, did you find the wrong person for revenge? ”
"Smack!" The girl called Mu Meng had a weak and charming appearance, as if a gust of wind could blow her down, but her hands were no lighter than the strong and spicy Li Yuliang, and a slap flashed Wu Yuanming's face bloomed, and nosebleeds and saliva flew everywhere. With tears in her eyes, Mu Meng pointed at Wu Yuanming's nose and scolded: "Wu Yingxiong, you said that you are not guilty, so what is the crime of my father and three elder brothers?" My father protected the Yongli Emperor and fled into Burma, and even the Manchu Tartars had already decided to give up, why did your father Wu Sangui still force the Burmese king to kill my father and three elder brothers? You dog thief, you are dying, and you still want to exonerate your Wu family, you are extremely shameless! ”
Wu Yuanming was scolded by Mu Meng and was speechless, although Mu Tianbo and his three sons were killed by the king of Burma, but the king of Burma was forced by Wu Sangui, and Emperor Yongli was personally hanged by Wu Sangui with a bowstring. At this time, Mu Shenbao shouted: "Wu Yingxiong, the debt of the father and the son are repaid, today our brothers and sisters want to use your heart and liver to pay tribute to the soul of our father in the sky, to pay tribute to the predecessors of our Mu Wangfu who died for the country, and to avenge the souls of countless unjustly killed!" ”
"Revenge! Avenge! Avenge! Avenge! Dozens of descendants of Mu Wangfu in the room shouted rhythmically together, and some people shouted, "Little grandfather, after you dig out the heart and liver of this Wu dog thief, please let us each cut him and chop him into meat sauce!" Mu Shenbao replied, "Of course." ”
"Spare your life! I don't want to die! In the overwhelming shouting and killing, Wu Yuanming screamed like a pig, the corners of his mouth foamed horizontally, and it seemed that he was about to faint again. But Mu Shenbao would ignore him, and with just a wave of his hand, the two brothers Bai Hansong and Bai Lingsong personally stepped forward and grabbed Wu Yuanming's shoulders one left and one right, and pressed Wu Yuanming to kneel in front of Mu Tianbo's spiritual seat. Mu Shenbao and Mu Meng each pulled out a Xueliang dagger, clenched their teeth and slowly approached Wu Yuanming.
"Little grandfather, little county lord, spare your life, spare your life." Wu Yuanming, who was greedy for life and afraid of death, was speechless in a panic, and screamed: "I don't dare anymore, I don't smash the headlights anymore, I don't have a father like Wu Sangui anymore, I don't dare to bury iron nails on the highway anymore......." ”
"Inexplicable!" Mu Meng clenched her silver teeth, slapped Wu Yuanming in the face again, grabbed Wu Yuanming's collar with her little hand and tore it hard, only to hear a "swish" sound, Wu Yuanming's shirt placket shattered in response, and the skin of the sinful chest was immediately exposed to the cold air, and the skin on the chest jumped slightly, obviously Wu Yuanming's beast heart, which was darker than ink, was beating nervously and violently in his chest......
"Ahh Probably because his innocent body was seen by the opposite sex and was shy, Wu Yuanming screamed and rolled his eyes, the corners of his mouth spewed out two strings of filthy and smelly white foam like a crab spitting bubbles, his whole body trembled, his arms grabbed by the Bai brothers shook violently, his head full of evil drooped, and the person passed out again......
"Useless stuff." Mu Shenbao snorted coldly and shouted: "Wake up with cold water again, I want him to watch his heart and liver being dug out with his own eyes!" ”
"Yes!" Liu Tianyou agreed, personally brought a basin of cold water, and held it high above Wu Yuanming's head......
…… Let's watch the History and Military Channel of Literature Network, more exciting content is waiting for you! ……
"Stop!" Just as Liu Tianyou lifted the basin of water to Wu Yuanming's head, a mighty voice sounded, and everyone listened attentively and found that the voice was actually made by Wu Yuanming, who was unconscious with his head down. Just when everyone was inexplicable, Wu Yuanming slowly raised his head, and the panic, flattery, and oily expression on his face just now were swept away, replaced by mighty and dignified, as if he had changed into a different person. Wu Yuanming's lips moved slightly, and he spit out a string of words that were completely in tune with just now, "Shenbao, Meng'er, you have worked hard all these years." ”
"Little traitor, what kind of tricks are you playing?" Mu Meng's little hand flipped over, and she wanted to slap Wu Yuanming in the face. Her brother Mu Shenbao found that something was wrong, so he quickly grabbed her arm and whispered, "Sister, wait a minute, let's take a look first." ”
"God bless, you've grown up." Wu Yuanming turned to Liu Tianyou, who was holding a basin of water, and said word by word: "When you were born, the old man promised your father to teach you the Meteor Hammer stunt (Note 1), but unfortunately the yin and yang are separated, and the old man can only break his promise, don't blame your Uncle Mu." ”
"Meteor Hammer stunt? Yin and yang separated? Uncle Mu? Everyone in the room repeatedly tasted Wu Yuanming's words, and suddenly, everyone understood something one after another, and turned their eyes to the spirit card in front of Wu Yuanming - it was Mu Tianbo's spirit card! Seeing the spirit card with Mu Tianbo's name written on it, almost no one felt a chill on the back of their necks, as if a hellish wind had blown into their back collars. Frightened, even the Bai brothers, who were holding Wu Yuanming kneeling, couldn't help but let go of their palms, letting Wu Yuanming, who had lost his restraints, stand up straight, stand in front of the spiritual platform with his hands behind his back, twist his body, and stand straight in front of everyone, with a solemn feeling on his face.
"You, who are you—who are you?" Mu Shenbao asked Wu Yuanming, whose temperament and tone had changed greatly. Wu Yuanming closed his eyes first, then opened them suddenly, and said word by word: "The old man is the Duke of Daming Qianguo, Mu Tianbo!" ”
"Grandpa Mu!" Mu Tianbo's answer confirmed everyone's guesses, and several people in Mu Wangfu, who were overly superstitious, even exclaimed: "Grandpa Mu has appeared!" Grandpa Mu manifests! The heroic spirit has possessed Wu Yingxiong! Hearing this shout, Mu Shenbao, Liu Bai Fangsu and other people in Mu Wangfu were even more panicked, and some of the timid and afraid of ghosts quietly retreated, for fear that ghosts would possess them. Only Mu Meng is a master who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and with a wave of the dagger, he pointed at Wu Yuanming's chest and shouted: "Little traitor, you don't pretend to be a ghost!" ”
"Meng'er, I didn't pretend to be a ghost for my father." Mu Tianbo looked at Mu Meng's eyes full of love, and said softly: "Meng'er, you have grown up, your father can see you and Bao'er grow up with his own eyes, and under Jiuquan, he will also have an explanation for your mother." ”
"You...... Are you really my father? Mu Tianbo's calm and gentle tone made Mu Meng's will waver, and Mu Meng, who was used to hearing ghost stories since childhood, couldn't help but tremble: "You are my father's ghost?" What evidence do you have? ”
"Evidence? Of course. Mu Tianbo smiled lovingly, pointed to Mu Tianbo's spiritual position behind him and said: "This is the evidence, your brothers and sisters have suffered countless hardships and hardships over the years in order to avenge their father and vent their anger for the Han people in the world. Today, you finally caught the son of the big traitor Wu Sangui and got your old wish fulfilled. Your filial piety touched heaven and earth, and also moved the Jade Emperor, so the Jade Emperor granted permission to appear to his father once, so that his father could meet you. ”
"Choke!" The dagger in Mu Meng's hand fell to the ground, and the small mouth was open enough to fit two duck eggs. And Mu Tianbo's eyes were already full of tears, and he turned to Mu Shenbao and said: "Shenbao, you are the elder brother, your father and your mother are no longer in the yang world, you have to take care of your sister for your father, don't let her be wronged, you work harder, don't let your mother worry about your sister." ”
"Father, the child must take care of his sister." His father, who had passed away for eight years, suddenly appeared, and Mu Shen, who lost his father at a young age and lacked father's love, couldn't help but feel tears in his eyes. Mu Tianbo nodded with tears, then turned to the rest of Mu Wang's Mansion and said: "And you, you are all very good, you loyally support the old man's young son and daughter, but the old man has nothing to repay." Please accept the old man's bow, in order to show the old man's gratitude, please continue to assist my two lonely children in the future, and work hard to complete the great cause of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible, and restore the Han family! With that, Mu Tianbo clasped his hands into fists and bowed deeply to everyone in Mu Wangfu.
"Grandpa Mu, we don't dare to be, we don't dare to be!" Liu Baifang, the six Su brothers and everyone in Mu Wangfu's mansion saw that Mu Tianbo's heroic spirit actually bowed to him, and they all fell to their knees in shock, kowtowed, and said: "The subordinates see the old man's heroic spirit, and the subordinates must assist the little grandfather and the county lord to restore the Han family, and they will not hesitate to break their bones!" ”
"Father!" "Father!" Mu Shenbao and Mu Meng, who were separated from their father when they were young, could no longer suppress the feelings in their hearts, and choked up and threw themselves into Mu Tianbo's arms and cried. Mu Tianbo opened his arms to hug the hard-working children, his face was also full of old tears, and he choked up: "Bao'er, Meng'er, I'm sorry for you for my father, you have worked hard, you have worked hard." And Mu Shenbao and Mu Meng replied with tears: "Father, we don't work hard, it's our ...... that we are not filial." ”
"Grandpa Mu......." Seeing the true feelings of Mu Tianbo, Mu Shenbao, and Mu Meng's father and daughter, everyone in Mu Wang's Mansion could not control their tears, and they knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. For a while, there was a cry in the small room, and almost everyone was crying from the heart. Only Wu Yuanming had tears on his face, but the corners of his eyes were looking at Mu Meng in his arms, choking and crying in his mouth, but he was saying in his heart: "The little girl has a good figure and face, and her chest is elastic." ”
Note 1: Mu Tianbo is good at using the meteor hammer stunt to protect the Yongli Emperor when he fled into Burma, the Burmese chieftain Mang Mengbai asked the officials who followed the Yongli Emperor to cross the river to plan affairs, and the Burmese captured one person with twenty people, and none of the Ming Dynasty officials escaped. From Ma Jixiang to below, there were a total of 42 civil and military officials, and only Mu Tianbo killed more than a dozen Burmese people with a meteor hammer, but he was finally killed because he was outnumbered.
