2. The old man

Ren Hao!

Martial Arts Alliance Leader!

This person's answer made Shen Qiu like a lightning strike.

Qingqing behind him widened his eyes even more, and his mouth was slightly open, as if he had seen an alien.

If it weren't for the same name, the one in front of him would be the number one in the world after Zhang Moxie.

Well, although some people say that the pure Yangzi of Taiyue Mountain, or the Peach Blossom Old Man of the Holy Fire Sect in the Western Regions, is the number one in the world.

But Jiangnan Wulin doesn't eat this set.

Everyone stubbornly believes that after the disappearance of the Big Dipper Emperor Zhang Moxie, the director of the Wulin League, who was born in Nantong and now lives in Jinling Wulong Villa, is a peerless martial artist from the south of the Yangtze River, that is the first in the world!

In ancient times, there were also regional disputes.

Just like the people of Qilu are fierce, although it is the hometown of the saint, there are also more heroes in the green forest.

When the green forest is the first in the world, right and wrong are uneven, that is the supreme martial arts of the land of Qilu.

And on the Xiaoxiang side, although there is the Xiaoxiang Sword Gate, the recognized number one martial arts there is still Taiyue Mountain, the pure Yangzi of the True Martial Pure Yang Sect.

The Northern Dynasty reveres the master of the Witch Sect, the national teacher of the Northern Dynasty, and the people of the Demon Sect, and the joy of coming out of Changbai is the first in martial arts.

The land of the two wides, which was previously recognized as the first in martial arts, was the Qingyang Demon Lord Ai Dacha.

But in recent years, it has been rumored that although Liu Zhuoran, a sword monarch born in Guangdong, is young, his martial arts have surpassed the Qingyang Demon Lord.

There is also a land of clouds and nobles, poor mountains and bad waters, and the Five Elements Gate is a local tyrant, so it is naturally the leader of the Red Lian Demon King.

And in the mysterious Xiangxi next to there, there is a witch Gu Dao witch, and Mrs. Tongtang, who is also one of the seven sect masters of the Demon Sect.

In the more remote snowy area, there is also one of the seven sects of the Demon Sect, the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, the Ten Thousand Poison Old Man.

In short, this kind of groundless thing will not have a result after discussion, and no one can convince anyone.

Just like the sand sculpture netizens in the previous life were facing each other upwards, arguing to the end, it was a personal attack.

Some hot-tempered martial arts people will go to an appointment when they get up.

Although he always talks about the point to the end, since the Yinlou system of the rivers and lakes list, there are many martial arts people who have been killed and injured because of this nonsensical battle of will.

But this is Ren Hao!

Even if Shen Qiu didn't know much about the secret affairs of the rivers and lakes, he knew the meaning of the person in front of him.

The leader of the righteous path, the person in the heavenly list, for ordinary people, it is really a figure in the clouds.

Rao is Shen Qiu's own experience in his previous life, and when he heard this name, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then the thought that his master was really hidden deeply.

How can you still have such a friend?

Ren Hao probably saw what Shen Qiu was thinking, he waved his hand and said softly:

"Today, I am not here as a martial artist, I was also a Tiance soldier, and Captain Lu was the leader of my army at that time.

I haven't heard from him in years. ”

Qingqing girl was placing incense, candles, and paper money, and when she heard the words, she turned her head to look at Ren Hao, she saw that the legendary martial arts alliance leader had a gentle face, so she boldly said:

"Alliance Leader, have you ever joined the army?"

"Yes, when I was young, I was in the army for three years, but others knew very little."

Ren Hao put his hands behind his back and smiled at Qingqing.

This alliance leader is not impressive, nor does he have much majesty, just like an ordinary person.

But when the square face of the national character laughed, there was still a kind of momentum of not being angry and arrogant, in addition to the blessing of identity and status, it was probably related to the heart of the alliance leader himself.

After all, the face is born from the heart.

He said to Qingqing:

"You are Lu Duwei's disciples and relatives, and you call me by my name. I'm tired of hearing others call me 'alliance leader' on weekdays. ”

Although Ren Hao himself said so, Qingqing and Shen Qiu certainly couldn't call him by his name.

In this era, there is still a lot of emphasis on etiquette.

Qingqing thought about it for a while, and then said:

"Uncle Ren, have you ever fought with Master?"

"Yes, there are more than a dozen of them, big and small."

A look of nostalgia appeared in Ren Hao's eyes, he looked at Qingqing, and Shen Qiu, who was speechless, and said:

"What? Didn't your master ever talk about the past? ”

"No, I don't."

Qingqing rushed to say:

"Master never talks about his past."

Shen Qiu still didn't speak.

When he learned about Qingqing's life experience from Yaoqin, he also knew about Lu Buru's glorious past experience, but he never told Qingqing.

"Okay, then, today, taking this opportunity to pay tribute to the deceased, I will talk to you two about the past of Captain Ludu."

Ren Hao pondered for a moment and said:

"Lest you think that your master is just an ordinary charlatan and look down on him."

Qing Qing looked expectant, while Shen Qiu half-knelt in front of the tombstone, lighting paper money and incense candles with flint.

When the firelight was lit, Ren Hao stood a few steps behind him, he looked at the tombstone in front of him, and said to the two:

"I joined the army at the age of fourteen, and with the help of my family connections, I went to the Tiance Army for training, and I am being assigned to the command of Captain Ludu.

When Lu Duwei was young, he was quite strict in governing the army, and I was young and frivolous at that time, and I also suffered under him fiercely, and I did not have a good impression of him at first.

But later, when the Great Chu Jiangshan died and the Northern Dynasty invaded, he also went to the battlefield with him. ”

Ren Hao told the story of more than 20 years ago.

His eyes seemed to be the Jin Ge Iron Horse of the year again, and even his voice became more sonorous after the years of conquest.

He said:

"That year, I was sixteen years old, and the thieves of the Northern Dynasty entered Tongguan from Luoyang, and occupied Chang'an, Hanzhong, and the soldiers were all fierce and fierce, and came towards the starry night of Dasanguan that we were guarding.

They didn't resist all the way, so they thought that my Southern Dynasty sons and daughters were all soft bones, wanton and arrogant, and didn't take our Tiance Army in their eyes. General Li Shouguo took advantage of their arrogance to lure those Northern Dynasty thieves into an ambush..."

Ren Hao paused, he looked at Qingqing, showed a smile, and said:

"That night was my first time on the battlefield, and it was also my first time fighting.

I'm not afraid of your two jokes, when I rode my horse and followed Captain Lu to the battlefield, my legs were shaking, and it was difficult to hold the spear in my hand.

Seeing the ferocity of the thieves of the Northern Dynasty and the defeat of the front army in only half an hour, I lost my courage at that time. ”

"Captain Lu Du whipped me in the face with a horsewhip..."

The leader of the martial arts alliance touched his cheek, as if he still remembered the taste of that whip.

He said:

Captain Lu immediately slashed his sword and loudly reprimanded us and other recruits.

He said that as a soldier, there is the honor of death, and there is no shame of life. He also said that although the world is big, if we retreat, the entire Jiangnan and Xiaoxiang will be ghosts among adults.

I asked me to wait, or not a good man? Don't you want women and children to block the swords and guns of the Northern Dynasties?

I was speechless, so I was pushed by the shame in my heart, and with a bloody bravery, I followed Captain Lu Du and 3,000 cavalry into that battlefield.

In that battle, we waited for it to win, and returned with a big victory. ”

Speaking of this, Ren Hao's mood was a little lower, and he said:

"In one night of death fighting, 40,000 people were defeated by the advance of the Northern Dynasty, and the Tiance army descended from seven captains, with 8,000 dead and wounded...

At the beginning of the defeat of the Northern Dynasties, the camp was shaken, and we did not hesitate, but just rested hastily for half a day, and then under the command of General Li Shouguo, the whole army went out together, leaving no preparations.

Seven battles and seven victories, and they drove the Northern Dynasty thieves out of Guanzhong.

They threw away their armor and fled to Chang'an, in a vain attempt to use the Xiongcheng City to block us.

Captain Lu Du made a military order, vowing to break Chang'an in three days, and we fought with him, fought for three days, and finally relied on fire attack that night to break the gate of Chang'an. ”

Ren Hao clenched his fists, and he said:

"Lu Duwei was covered in blood, like a god and demon, the first to ride into the city, shouting to the death, and my companion and I were armed with spears, and we were also proud, following him, and also entered Chang'an.

Looking back now, it was the happiest moment of my life, and it was the first time I saw Captain Lu drunk and drunk. ”

"It's a pity that Zhao Hu usurped the throne later, and the good situation went down the drain."

The leader of the martial arts alliance sighed, his tone full of regret.

In the burning of the paper money and incense candles, he said to Qingqing and Shen Qiu, who stood up:

"That year, we entered Yanjiao and could already see the Yanjing city wall, but because of Zhao Hu, we had to retreat and return to defense, and we had a great opportunity to lose it.

The Tiance Army had a chance to expel the Northern Dynasty thieves who had broken their courage in a battle, but we lost that opportunity.

Four months after returning to Chang'an, my heart was hard to get rid of, so I left the Tiance Army and wanted to go back to my hometown in Nantong, but I met another old man on the way, and I traveled with him to the famous mountains and rivers..."

"Of course, that's another thing."

Ren Hao watched the paper money in front of him being blown away by the wind, he flicked his fingers lightly, and the burning paper money that scattered out was like being pressed by an invisible hand, and was sent back to the stone steps in front of the tombstone.

Shen Qiu, who looked at it with this hand, was greatly surprised.

This technique reminded him of the methods of the mysterious person in the hidden building that day, this was not Shen Qiu's thoughts, that person was almost exactly the same as Ren Hao's actions in front of him.

Could it be that he teased him and Song beggar that day, it was Ren Hao?

"You and the other two, you must remember the life of your master."

Ren Hao looked at the tombstone and said in a deep voice:

"Lu Duwei is a hero in the world, but the situation is bumpy, and it is difficult to make a name. He is more worthy of your respect and remembrance than those brave and ruthless Jianghu guests on the rivers and lakes. ”

His tone became stern, and Qingqing nodded subconsciously.

Ren Hao was quite satisfied.

He bowed to the tombstone, then turned away.

Shen Qiu looked at Ren Hao's back as he slowly left, he glanced at Qingqing girl again, and said:

"Qingqing, you wait here for me for a moment."

After speaking, he chased after Ren Hao.

The alliance leader turned his head and glanced at Shen Qiu suspiciously, Shen Qiu glanced at him, and the two walked to the unruly tomb more than ten zhang away from the road.

Shen Qiu clenched his fists and leaned over and said to Ren Hao:

"Don't hide it, Uncle Ren, although today is the first time we met, I have something to ask for."

This made Ren Hao frown slightly.

As the leader of the martial arts alliance, he has seen a lot of people who are in a relationship and climb with the pole, and he has no good impression of this kind of person who fights the snake and follows the pole by virtue of the friendship of his elders.

But after all, he had a very good relationship with Captain Lu, so he still nodded and said:

"Say it."

"I don't know if Uncle Ren knows Qingqing's background."

Shen Qiu glanced at the direction of the tomb, and saw that Qingqing was kneeling there kowtowing to his master, so he lowered his voice and said to Ren Hao:

"Qingqing is my junior sister, and she is also the girl that my master regards as her own, but she... Her background is not simple, and she also has some connections with the Tiance Army. ”

"Oh?"

Ren Hao was a little interested now.

He felt just now that Qingqing's girl was quite aura, not like an ordinary girl.

Shen Qiu said to Ren Hao:

"My master once rescued the royal family of Great Chu, and before the fall of Lin'an, he took the last blood of the royal family out of Jiangnan and went to Chang'an, does Uncle Ren know about this?"

The Alliance Master shook his head.

He was traveling the world with his old friends, so naturally he didn't know about such things.

Shen Qiu didn't beat around the bush, and said to Ren Hao directly:

"Qingqing is the last bloodline of the Great Chu royal family!"

“???”

A hint of surprise flashed in Ren Hao's eyes.

This kind of thing really surprised him.

But thinking about it carefully, in his memory, it is not surprising that Lu Duwei's character who is loyal to Da Chu can adopt Qingqing and live in seclusion in Suzhou for so many years.

Ren Hao played with a jade pendant in his hand, and let Shen Qiu tell him about Qingqing's life experience.

After he listened, he remained silent for a long time.

He looked at Shen Qiu and said:

"Why do you want to tell me about such a secret thing, you don't have to worry, I am the eagle dog of the lord of the Southern Dynasty? Do you want to get a reward? ”

Uncle Ren laughed.

Shen Qiu's face was calm, and he said:

"I have also heard the rumors about you in the rivers and lakes, and what you said before is completely consistent with the life of the master I know.

I have also heard that the lord of the Southern Dynasty has repeatedly wanted to make you a national teacher, but you have politely refused.

A hero like you, and you were born in the Tiance Army, how can you be willing to become an eagle dog of the weak Southern Dynasty? ”

Ren Hao smiled.

This kind of flattery, he has long heard the callouse in his ears, so naturally he doesn't care.

He said to Shen Qiu:

"You are telling me this because you want me to protect your junior sister?"

"Yes!"

Shen Qiu no longer concealed his intentions, he said:

"I can still protect Qingqing now, but I'm worried that once the matter is revealed and the Southern Dynasty is chased and killed, I can't do anything, so I want to find a place for Qingqing in advance.

Uncle Ren and my master have a good relationship, and they have carried guns together, gone to the battlefield, and fought together, so they are very affectionate.

If there is something unbearable, I can entrust Qingqing to Uncle Ren, I am relieved. ”

Ren Hao nodded again and again, and he whispered:

"The lord of the Southern Dynasty has become more and more rebellious since Zhao Hu, they are not in the right position, and they are not popular with the people, so they can only be even more tyrannical, but they have retreated from the Northern Dynasty, which is really unsightly.

I also heard from a friend that the secret spies of the Southern Dynasty have indeed been searching for them among the people, and now that I think about it, they should be looking for Fan Qingqing.

If you can think of this layer, you can live up to your master's expectations. ”

The Alliance Leader stretched out his hand and handed Shen Qiu the jade pendant carved with the five dragons flying, and he said:

"I answered you."

"If there is really something ominous, I will go to Wulong Villa outside Jinling City with this jade pendant, even if it is for the sake of Lu Duwei, I will definitely protect your junior sister!"

With Ren Hao's promise, Shen Qiu's heart was settled.

He held the wrench in his hand and bowed to Ren Hao, who accepted it calmly.

Shen Qiu was about to say goodbye, but he heard Ren Hao ask softly:

"Shen Qiu, I look at you and your junior sister, and you are quite intimate with this Falling Moon Qintai, and it was okay before, but now, since I know Fan Qingqing's life experience, I want to remind you one or two."

"Do you know the bottom of this moon platform?"
