7 Bear the burden of humiliation and be a lonely servant
A sentence that must not chill the hearts of the people in the world, the scars kicked by the spirit of Wanzang made Tong Guan think that he should use Feng Lei Ye and omit his vigilance. But Tong Guan is suspicious by nature, and Feng Lei Ye has lost all his internal strength, so he only let Feng Lei Ye follow Gao Shen to obey orders.
Tonight, Feng Lei Ye was ordered to come to Lingjiang Garden with Gao Shen to deliver Ye Wuxian's new task. Stepping into Lingjiang Garden again, Feng Lei Ye remembered that when the famous sword event, he fought side by side with Dugu Jue and the four Dharma kings, making a big fuss at the venue, how high-spirited, and now the Mingjiao uprising was defeated, the sect leader was martyred, and the Dharma King also died third, and the rest did not know where to go, even Dugu Jue never saw each other again after saying goodbye to wine, and he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.
Ye Wuxian saw that Feng Lei Ye came with the high gentleman, and confirmed the news that the Ming Left had apostasy and defected to the imperial court, and said to Feng Lei Ye with a fist: "Feng Shaoxia abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and was accepted by Lord Mengtong, it is really a gratifying thing, the old man congratulated Feng Shaoxia!" ”
Feng Lei Ye also hugged his fists and saluted back: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, I have to work with Sword Spirit Ye Harmless Hero to serve Lord Tong, and Feng is also deeply honored!" ”
Ye Wuxian knew in his heart that he had been ordered to hold a famous sword event to encircle and suppress the failure of the Ming Sect General Altar, Tong Guan was quite dissatisfied, his loyalty to Tong Guan was not in doubt, but his ability to do things and the prestige of calling the Central Plains martial arts had gradually lost Tong Guan's trust, this time Tong Guan sent Gao Shen and Feng Lei Ye to deliver new tasks, which was also another test for him, so Ye Wuxian was extremely respectful to Gao Shen and Feng Lei Ye, and personally greeted and led him to the secret business in his room.
The tea ceremony was over, and the gentry said to Ye Wuxian: "Ye Daxia used the Famous Sword Festival last time to unite with the Central Plains Martial Arts to exterminate the Famous Sect Altar, but it was in vain, and Lord Tong was quite worried about whether Ye Daxia could really control the rivers and lakes on his behalf..."
Ye Wushu got up and hurriedly defended: "You can't blame the old man for that matter, Dugu Jue was born, and the swordsmanship won the championship, and the old man has already prepared a contingency plan; The people in the Demon Sect made trouble at the venue, and the old man had already planned something. It's that Huang Sheng and Shen Ran who didn't expect me, Huang Shang broke into the main altar of the Demon Sect, I don't distinguish between the enemy and me, and messed up the formation of the Central Plains Martial Arts to encircle and suppress the Demon Sect, and Shen Ran's organs and weapons are very powerful, these two people, one is the official of the court, and the other is the minister, how can they fall to the Demon Sect and oppose the court? ”
"Alright, alright!" Gao Shen waved his hand impatiently and motioned for Ye Wuxian to sit down: "These Tong adults know about it, if you can't trust Ye Daxia's loyalty, you won't send me and Brother Feng to come together." But you just said Shen Ran, what is the origin? Why do you get mixed with Dugu Jue? ”
"Don't you know?" Ye Wuxian sat down, took a sip of tea and said: "Shen Ran was originally the granddaughter of Lord Shen Kuo, the owner of Mengxi Garden, so she is very good at tricks, and she helps the Demon Sect, which is a great threat to the old man, and the old man is trying to get rid of her, but she seems to be in love with Dugu Jue, and she accompanied him, and did not return to Mengxi Garden, so she couldn't find her for a while." ”
Gao Shen thought for a moment and said: "When Shen Kuo was the first emperor, he once resisted the invasion of Western Xia, and presented the "map of the counties and counties of the world", although he was degraded, he was indeed a meritorious minister. Shen Ran is the queen of Shen Kuo, Ye Daxia should not take her life for the time being, it is best to turn enemies into friends and let her also serve as adults, which is the best policy. ”
"The saint is merciful, he still cares for the Shen family, the old man obeys his orders, does not move Shen Ran, and then tries to separate her from Dugu Jue, and tries to bring her under the command of Master Tong." Ye Wuxian continued to ask: "I don't know what the tall man and Feng Shaoxia have to tell the old man when they come together this time?" ”。
Gao Shen got up and said, "Spread the will of Lord Tong!" Ye Wuxian and Feng Lei Ye also got up. Gao Shen continued: "Master Tong has an order, Huang Shang colluded with the Demon Sect and deliberately defeated the Demon Sect, and now he has been dismissed by the imperial court. Sword Spirit Ye Wuxian should take advantage of this opportunity to hurt the grudges of the children of the various sects in the Central Plains through Huang Sheng at the main altar of the Demon Sect, and unite the people in the rivers and lakes to kill Huang Shang together, and he will take his life, and he must not miss again. If necessary, Gao Shen and Feng Lei Ye can wait for the opportunity to help. ”
After speaking, the gentry sat down, and Ye Wuxian and Feng Lei Ye sat down. Just to announce Tong Guan's order, everyone had to get up, such momentum is as straight as the emperor, but he didn't kneel to listen to the holy will, Feng Lei Ye finally saw Tong Guan's power leaning towards the government and the opposition, arrogant in the world.
Feng Lei Ambition thought to himself, although Tong Guan ordered Ye Wushu to unite with the Central Plains Martial Arts to kill Tong Guan, he also ordered him and Gao Shen to wait for an opportunity to help. He knew that Huang Sheng had mistakenly killed many Central Plains martial arts disciples in the main altar, and the major sects hated him to the core, just because he was afraid that he was an official of the imperial court, so he didn't do it for a long time. Now that Huang Shang has been dismissed, all the major factions have nothing to care about, and Huang Shang is in danger! Feng Lei Ye has no friendship with Huang Shang, and he is even more disgusted with him for breaking into the main altar to kill the Dharma Protector King, and he has no idea of maintaining sympathy for Huang Shang, but for Tong Guan's order to help him, he should deliberately take this opportunity to let him stand on the same front with the various sects of the Central Plains and create an opportunity for reconciliation, so it seems that Tong Guan does have some trust in himself.
After Ye Wuxian sat down, he confidently promised: "This matter is very easy!" No matter how high Huang Shang's martial arts are, it is difficult to defeat the siege of the major sects, the Central Plains Wulin has long wanted to take his life, as long as I release the news that Huang Shang has been dismissed on the rivers and lakes, and then take the initiative to contact several major leaders, then Huang Shang will definitely die! ”
Feng Lei Ye finally spoke: "In this way, there is no need for Gao Da and Feng to help for the time being?" ”
Ye Wuxian said proudly: "If you need help, please ask the two of you to help!" ”
"Very good!" Gao Shen got up: "There are still important things to be done in Beijing, so we will leave first." ”
Feng Lei Ye left with the gentry, and Ye Wuxian was sent directly outside the park to say goodbye.
On the way back to Kaifeng, Gao Shen suddenly asked Feng Leiye for the Xuantie Sword again, saying that he would borrow him to play with it, and he would return it in a few days: "Brother Feng won't even refuse to borrow Gao to play for a few days, right?" ”
"Where's the word!" Feng Lei Ye knew that the gentry borrowed it for money, and he really lent him the Xuantie Sword, so he couldn't get it back, thinking that it would be difficult to refuse anyway, so he simply promised to give him the Xuantie Sword first, and then make plans. Then he said: "The tall man knows that my internal strength has been lost, and the Xuantie sword is quite heavy, and I am difficult to use, and it is really useless to me. So I didn't carry it on this trip and hid it in Beijing. Since Lord Gao likes it, let alone borrow it, when I return to Kaifeng Mansion with Lord Gao, I will give away the Xuantie Sword! ”
Gao Shen said happily: "Is this true? ”
"How dare Feng tease Master Gao?"
Hearing that Feng Lei Ye was willing to give away the Xuantie Sword, Gao Shen was very pleased, and when he returned to Kaifeng to report to Tong Guan, he deliberately said that Feng Lei Ye was loyal and capable, and Tong Guan trusted Feng Lei Ye a little bit and gave him a small courtyard. But because of this, Feng Lei Ye had to give the Xuantie Sword to Gao Shen, and the two said that a few days later, Gao Shen went to Feng Lei Ye's new courtyard to get the Xuan Tie Sword.
The news of Huang Shang's dismissal was deliberately manipulated by Ye Wuxian, and sure enough, in just a few days, it had spread throughout the Central Plains martial arts. Dugu Jue and Shen Ran searched for wind and thunder, and remembered that Li Shishi was the most well-informed, so they came to Kaifeng Mansion, and heard the news of Huang Shang's dismissal along the way, and were deeply worried about Huang Shang, thinking that Li Shishi was quite favored by today's saints, and also wanted to ask Master Li if he could excuse Huang Shang's beautiful words.
The two came to Kaifeng Mansion, it was noon, in a restaurant to eat and rest, Dugu Jue's ears were extremely sensitive, and he heard that in a side room of the restaurant, it was rumored that the elders of the beggar gang were discussing with various sects, since Huang Shang had been dismissed by the imperial court, it was the best opportunity for the various sects to take revenge on Huang Shang. During the conversation, Dugu Jue was also mentioned, saying that he and Huang Shangjun colluded with the Demon Sect, and they were all scum of martial arts, but unfortunately they didn't know where Dugu Jue was, otherwise they would have been eliminated together. Hearing this, Dugu Jue was deeply worried about Huangshang's safety, but he didn't know where Huangshang's mansion was, so he hurriedly left the restaurant with Shen Ran and went to Li Shishi's residence in Jinxian Lane to inquire.
Li Shishi saw that there was an extra Shen Ran beside Dugu Jue, and after learning that Shen Ran was actually Shen Kuo, she heard Dugu Jue call Shen Ran a sister who dyed her, and Shen Ran called Dugu Jue as Jue's brother, thinking that the two of them were also very compatible, but there was still a Murong Jiaojiao who loved Dugu Jue deeply in Tumi Villa, but he was afraid that the vinegar sea would be born, and it would not be easy to be good. But Li Shishi did not express the doubts in her heart, and only answered Dugu Jue's urgent inquiry about Huang Shang. She sighed and said: "Lord Huang was defeated by the Ming Sect, and he trespassed on the Ming Sect's main altar without permission, and he was suspicious of the saints. I have already spoken for him in front of the Holy Lord, otherwise Lord Huang would not have only been dismissed, I am afraid that he would have to be imprisoned for questioning. I have done my best to do this, but there is no turning around. ”
Dugu Jue nodded: "It turns out that Sister Shishi has already managed to rescue her, and Brother Jue has thanked Sister Shishi on behalf of Lord Huang here."
"In addition to Lord Huang, there must be another person's whereabouts, and Shaoxia must be extremely concerned, right?" Li Shishi said with a smile: "The Ming Sect's Bright Left Envoy Feng Lei Ye is the righteous brother of the young man, and you must want to know where he goes." ”
Dugu Jue was overjoyed: "I want to ask Sister Shishi, where is my brother-in-law now?" Is he okay? ”
Li Shishi sighed: "It's very good!" He is now taking refuge in Tong Guan, and Tong Guan also gave him a small courtyard! ”
"What!" Dugu Jue suddenly got up: "Brother Yi actually took refuge in Tong Guan? Isn't that a betrayal of the Ming religion? I don't believe it! ”
"He not only took refuge in Tong Guan, but also helped Tong Guan capture Fang La on the battlefield, if you don't believe it, just go to him, a person like him who sells himself for glory, even though I am a Qinglou woman, I also look down on him!" Li Shishi's tone softened: "Feng Lei Ye is the righteous brother of Shaoxia, Shaoxia must be shocked and hurt when he hears this news, I said it heavily, it is like sprinkling salt on Shaoxia's heartache, please forgive Shaoxia!" ”
Dugu Jue was speechless and silent for a long time before he asked again, "Where does my brother-in-law live now?" Where is Lord Huang's mansion? I beg Sister Shi Shi to know. ”
"Feng Lei Ye lives in a small courtyard not far from Tong Guan's mansion, as for Lord Huang's heart, his mansion is not in the city, but outside the west gate." Li Shishi said that, she mentioned to Dugu Jue that she had recently co-produced a new song with Lord Zhou, and wanted to ask Dugu Jue to listen to the advice.
Although Dugu Jue was worried about the safety of Huang Yi, he was full of doubts and wanted to question Feng Lei Ye. But she and Li Shishi intersected with piano rhyme, and Li Shishi invited him to enjoy the new song, which must be a proud work. Dugu Jue thought that the Central Plains Martial Arts might not be able to immediately explore Huang Shang's residence, so he might as well listen to the music first, so as not to dismiss Li Shishi's kindness, so he and Shen Ran listened to the harmony of the piano in Li Shishi's room. Dugu Jue never expected that the news of the Central Plains Martial Arts was so well-informed, only the disciples of the Beggar Gang were all over the world, and it was really easy to find out where Huang Sheng lived, not to mention that when Ye Wuxian released the news, he also told the heads of the various sects where Huang Shang's mansion was.
In the evening, Dugu Jue and Shen Ran said goodbye to Li Shishi, left Jinxian Lane, and went out of the West Gate to find Huangshang first. But when they came to the Huangshang Mansion outside the West Gate, they could no longer see the Huangsheng, only the corpses in the mansion were all over the place. Dugu Jue was both angry and remorseful, and asked the neighbors around the Huangshang Mansion all over the place, only to have a large number of people from the rivers and lakes come into the Huangshang Mansion in the afternoon. Those neighbors didn't know what grudge Huang Sheng had with those people in the rivers and lakes, but they only knew that Huang Sheng seemed to have been injured and fled, so the people in the rivers and lakes vented their hatred for Huang Shang's family, and slaughtered his family, old and young, and even the old servants and young maids did not let go.
Dugu Jue and Shen Ran returned to Huangshang's mansion, and buried more than ten people from Huangshang's family all night, and then stood gloomily in front of the grave of Huangshang's family, grief-stricken.
Shen Ran comforted Dugu Jue: "Brother Jue, people can't be resurrected after death, don't blame yourself too much." Fortunately, Lord Huang has escaped, so we should find Lord Huang first and protect his safety. ”
Dugu Jue shook his head and said: "The whole family was slaughtered, is it just because Lord Huang killed those sect disciples by mistake?" I had heard in the restaurant that the major sects believed that I had colluded with Lord Huang to teach Mingjiao, hated me deeply, and couldn't find me, so they settled the accounts on Lord Huang together, and then made a move to destroy the sect. Lord Huang's family was victimized, and I really hurt them! ”
Shen Ran knew that what Dugu Jue said was also reasonable, and still tried to comfort: "Even so, grief is useless, Brother Jue, let's hurry up and find Lord Huang!" ”
Dugu Jue calmed down his grief, regained his senses, and said: "Lord Huang was injured and left, I don't know where to hide, it is difficult to find it for a while, I have to find someone first." ”
"The wind..."
Before Shen Ran finished speaking, Dugu Jue said coldly: "Exactly! ”
Dugu Jue returned to Kaifeng City and came to the small courtyard where Feng Lei Ye lived.
At dawn, Feng Lei Ye had just woken up, got up and pushed open the door to see Dugu Jue and Shen Ran, he was pleasantly surprised, and said, "Brother Xian, it's you?" "I want to hug Dugu Jue forward to tell my brother about the reunion. Unexpectedly, Dugu Jue pushed him away, pulled out the crape myrtle soft sword, and shouted: "Wait! You explain it first, why do you betray Mingjiao and sell yourself? ”
With just a slight push, Feng Lei Ye took a few steps back and fell to the ground. Dugu Jue saw that his steps were frivolous, and he seemed to have no internal strength, he was deeply puzzled, and knew that Feng Lei Ye must have hidden feelings, so he withdrew the Ziwei soft sword and asked, "Who hurt you?" Can you lose all your internal strength? ”
"It's Tong Guan!" Feng Lei Ye got up and said: "There are only a few people in the world today who can shock the meridians of my whole body with one finger and abolish my profound internal strength, except for Tong Guan, who else can it be?" ”
Shen Ran was puzzled and asked, "Since you have taken refuge in Tong Guan, why did he hurt your meridians and abolish your internal strength?" ”
Today is the day when the gentry is going to come to ask for the Xuantie Sword, and Fenglei Ambition thinks that Dugu Jue is the best person to entrust the Xuantie Sword. But the gentry was coming soon, and he didn't have time to explain to Dugu Jue well, so he said: "Miss Meng Shen asked, Feng should have told the truth. But please Miss Shen and Brother Xian believe that Feng Mou took refuge in Tong Guan, and there is indeed a hardship that cannot be explained, if you don't believe it, Brother Xian can draw his sword and kill me! ”
Dugu Jue was hesitating, Feng Lei Ye turned around and went back to the room, took out the Xuantie Sword, handed it to Dugu Jue and said: "This sword is the origin of our brothers' righteousness, and it is also a treasure of Mingjiao, I have lost my internal strength, and it is difficult to preserve this sword, give it to the virtuous brother, and I implore the virtuous brother to accept it!" ”
"The Xuanjian Heavy Sword is the treasure of the Ming Sect, and the Fang Sect Master gave it to the second brother, how can it be given to me? Don't! What are the difficulties of the second brother, the foolish brother may be able to help, and please ask the second brother to speak clearly. "Dugu Jue is called Feng Lei Ye as a righteous brother, obviously it is believed that Feng Lei Ye must have a secret to join Tong Guan, although Feng Lei Ye is reluctant to say it explicitly, but he has determined that Feng Lei Ye is definitely not a rebel against Mingjiao.
Feng Lei Ye hurriedly said: "Brother Xian not only wants to accept the Xuantie Sword, but also quickly stab me a few swords, because Tong Guan's cronies Gao Shen is about to come here to ask for this sword, Brother Xian don't hesitate anymore!" ”
Dugu Jue's mind was racing, and he already understood that it was the high gentleman who coveted the Xuantie Sword and wanted to take it from the Wind Thunder Field, but the internal strength of the Wind Thunder Wild had been lost, and he could not use the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Descending Divine Skill, and he knew that it was difficult to preserve the Xuantie Sword, so he gave him the Xuantie Sword. As for asking him to stab Feng Lei Ye, Dugu Jue's mind changed rapidly, since Feng Lei Ye wanted to create the illusion that the Xuantie Sword was taken away by him to deceive the high gentleman, so that it was a bitter trick!
"The second brother is reluctant to say his bitterness, and the foolish brother can't make it difficult. Xuantie Sword, I can keep it on behalf of the second brother first, but it is absolutely impossible to hurt the second brother with a foolish sword! Dugu Jue said, took out a sword book from his arms, and put it in Feng Leiye's hand: "The second brother's internal strength is completely lost, and it is difficult to use divine skills." The foolish brother has recently comprehended a little in the swordsmanship, which is the six-style swordsmanship of breaking the sword, breaking the knife, breaking the rope, breaking the whip, breaking the spear, and breaking the arrow, even if there is no internal strength, this six-style swordsmanship can be used to resist the enemy. If the second brother is willing not to give up and is willing to practice, he should be able to defend himself with this swordsmanship. ”
Feng Lei Ye put the sword book in his arms, and still said: "The virtuous brother is willing to teach the foolish brother swordsmanship, which shows that the brotherhood is strong." Since Sect Master Fang has personally given me this Xuantie Sword, it already belongs to me, I will transfer it to the virtuous brother, out of sincerity, there is nothing wrong, the virtuous brother has a great favor in the Ming Sect, and the Heavenly Heroic Spirit of the Sect Leader Fang will also approve, please don't shirk the virtuous brother. It's just that in the future, if there is something important in the Mingjiao that must use the Xuantie Sword, please ask the virtuous brother to borrow it. Now, ask Brother Xian to stab me with a few swords to conceal the gentry, otherwise Sect Master Fang's hard work will all be in vain! ”
Dugu Jue shook his head, resolutely unwilling to accept the Xuantie Sword, only willing to keep it for him, and did not want to draw the sword and stab his brother-in-law, the two were arguing, Dugu Jue suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps outside the door, and then heard the gentry push the door in, shouting: "Brother Feng, you should wake up!" I'll take a look at your one..."
Speaking of this, Gao Shen found Dugu Jue and shouted, "It's you?" What is it here? ”
Seeing the opportunity, Feng Lei Ye immediately threw the Xuantie Sword in his hand at Gao Shen and shouted, "Lord Gao, save me!" Dugu Jue wants to snatch my Xuantie Sword! ”
Gao Shen took the Xuantie Sword casually, Feng Lei Ye secretly glanced at Dugu Jue, and took care of each other, Dugu Jue immediately pulled out the Ziwei soft sword and stabbed Gao Shen, although Gao Shen has been with Tong Guan for many years, and his martial arts are not weak, but he is far inferior to Ye Wujue, and he is not Dugu Jue's opponent. If it weren't for the indestructible Xuantie Sword in Gao Shen's hand, Dugu Jue would have taken the Xuantie Sword a long time ago, even so, after dozens of moves, Dugu Jue still defeated Gao Shen, took away the Xuantie Sword, and turned around and flew away with Shen Ran.
After leaving the small courtyard where Feng Lei Ye lived, Dugu Jue picked up Shen Liang and exerted his light skills with all his might, and in a moment he was already outside the city, turned around to inspect, and had thrown off the high gentleman, so he stopped and rested.
"Brother Jue, I don't understand, what is the hardship of Brother Feng, he can't even say it to you." Shen Ran stroked the Xuantie Sword and asked in wonder.
Dugu Jue looked up to the sky and thought for a long time: "I also don't understand, since the second brother is disguised to take refuge in Tong Guan, why did Tong Guan abolish his internal strength?" Tong Guan abolished the second brother's internal strength, so why didn't he simply kill him? The second brother is in danger and his internal strength is lost, why don't you want me to help? Come to think of it, before the martyrdom of Sect Master Fang, there must be a heavy trust to the second brother, this matter can only be handled by the second brother, if I interfere, it will be a bad thing, so the second brother is unwilling to tell me the truth, and he bears the humiliation alone! ”
"So what to do?"
"I can only keep the Xuantie Sword on behalf of the second brother first!" When Dugu Jue said this, he thought of Huang Shang, and suddenly his killing intent rose sharply, but he said to Shen Ran softly: "Sister Dye, I would like to take you to Tumi Villa to meet Mrs. Murong... Now, Lord Huang's family has been destroyed, I must first avenge Lord Huang, and then return to Tumi Villa, can Sister Dyeing forgive me? ”
Shen Ran knew that Dugu Jue wanted to take her to Tumi Villa, so he told Mrs. Murong about the affection between the two and asked Mrs. Murong to agree to their marriage. His face turned red, and he said shyly: "Wherever Brother Jue goes, I will follow him, how can there be any forgiveness?" ”
"It's just..."
Shen Ran wanted to speak and stopped, and Dugu Jue asked: "What is the difficulty of dying sister, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
Shen Ran held Dugu Jue's hands and said softly: "Brother Jue, I know that your swordsmanship is unparalleled in the world, and I also know that you want to avenge the blood revenge of Lord Huang. But this injustice can be retributed, there is no end to the investigation, when will there be a peaceful day? This trip to the various major factions, can it only be compared to the victory and defeat, to destroy its prestige, but no longer hurt people, one is to export evil anger for Lord Huang, and the other is to know the ability of Brother Jue of the major sects, and he will not dare to come to find trouble easily in the future, do you say this is good? ”
Shen Ran's words were sincere, and Dugu Jue naturally understood that she was worried that if she offended the Central Plains Martial Arts again for the revenge of Huang Shang, there would be no peace in the future, and no matter how high her swordsmanship was, there would eventually be a time when she would be victimized, so she nodded and said: "According to the will of Sister Ran, destroy the prestige of the various sects, and export evil anger for Lord Huang and myself, but if it is not necessary, it will never hurt people!" ”
After Shen Ran heard this, he was very happy, and since then the two have traveled all over the rivers and lakes and traveled all over the major sects.
Within a year, Dugu Jue first defeated the Qingcheng faction's Tianyou Dao Chief, and took away the Qingcheng faction's Zhen faction's sword and sank it in the Min River. Then defeated Leng Wuyan, the head of the Kunlun faction, and his subordinates were not convinced, and formed a formation to besiege Dugu Jue, Shen Ran helped him with a skillful weapon, and Dugu Jue injured Leng Wuyan's first disciple Tie Wuyan, but his life was not hindered. Then he successively defeated Wei Du, the head of the Diancang faction, Xu Feiyu, the head of the Canghan faction, and Yun Ion, the head of the Kongtong faction, and came to the Shaolin Temple.
Shaolin Temple has heard that Dugu Jue has defeated all the major heads, and is ready to fight, the monks in the Dharma Academy are exhausted, Dugu Jue's swordsmanship is wonderful, and the enemy is expected to be the first, even in the face of the Shaolin monk Xuyun, Void, and the Void Three Monks' six palms are connected, and the mind is the same, but every move is to attack the enemy and not to save, move to attack, attack as defense, with the agility of the crape myrtle soft sword, sway freely, after hundreds of fierce fights, not only defeated the Shaolin monks, but also realized a new swordsmanship, on top of the original six-style swordsmanship, and created a new palm-breaking swordsmanship.
In the end, Dugu Jue found the beggar gang, and when the gang leader was not there, the two elders of the Gong Gong and the Palm Bowl joined forces to fight, and since they were not Dugu Jue's opponents, Dugu Jue broke the dragon head of the Elder Chuan Gong and smashed the rice bowl of the Elder of the Palm Bowl. These two elders were not as generous-minded as the Shaolin monks, and they admitted defeat, but instead summoned the beggars to help the disciples and formed a dog-fighting stick formation, intending to trap Dugu Jue and take him down. This beggar gang is like a Shaolin Arhat array, it is extremely difficult to deal with, once the encirclement is formed, although Dugu Jue's swordsmanship is high, it is not easy to get out. Therefore, Dugu Jue must break out of the formation before the formation is formed, but when the two elders of the Gong Gong and the Palm Bowl fight with Dugu Jue, it has been hinted that the disciples will surround the situation first, and when they miss, the dog stick formation immediately surrounds Dugu Jue, Dugu Jue thought to himself, if you want to break the formation, you must hurt people, this formation is composed of hundreds of beggars to help the disciples, it is difficult to break the formation without injuring dozens of people, but it has been promised to Shen Ran before that he will no longer hurt people, so he is quite embarrassed. Fortunately, Shen Ran saw the clue outside the formation, and used a clever weapon to help Dugu Jue break a hole in the rear and help him break out of the formation. What is rare is that Shen Ran secretly helped without a trace, except for Dugu Jue and Shen Ran himself, no one else could see it at all, Dugu was absolutely Shen Ran so intimate and even more moved.
In the year when Dugu Jue defeated all the major sects, Feng Lei Ye gradually gained Tong Guan's trust. Although he did not participate in the massacre of the Huang Shang family, because of his incisive analysis of affairs, he became a think tank that Tong Guan often consulted, so he gradually won Tong Guan's appreciation. He endured humiliation and burdens only for the sake of Zhongxing Mingjiao, and never dared to forget the entrustment attached to his ear before Fang La's death, and often woke up at night because of this. Tonight, he woke up in a dream again, the same scene he had dreamed of countless times. In the dream, it is still outside the city of Hangzhou, it is still the glow of the sun, Fang La is covered with blood, one man is the enemy of thousands of troops and horses, he transports the Qiankun to move the military vehicles one by one, the horses are overturned, the wind is long, the Song soldiers are like the tide of the sea is constantly coming, Fang La is not afraid, shouted, and rushed into the Song soldiers. Feng Lei Ye shouted at Fang La: "Sect Master, be careful! Soon, I saw that the Song soldiers dispersed like a low tide, and Fang La stood alone in the wilderness full of corpses, already headless, but he turned around and let out a puzzle from his broken neck where blood kept coming out: "Wind Left Envoy, where is my head?" The wind and thunder roared wildly and woke up.
Feng Lei Ye sat on the edge of the bed, thinking of the heavy responsibility that Fang La had entrusted him with before he died. He told Feng Lei Ye that he had secretly ordered the Seven Sages to hide the treasures of the sect in case the Ming Sect needed it in the future. Where the treasure is buried, he will tell the clouds that the law of taking the treasure depends on his Xuantie sword. He also mentioned that he wanted him to succeed him as the sect leader, but he had to let the Song court stop chasing and killing the Ming sect members first, so that the Ming Sect could only have hope of rejuvenation, and this heavy responsibility could only be entrusted to him. Feng Lei Ye remembered that the sect leader sighed in his ear, although the current emperor is mediocre, he also loves the people, and even issued an edict to recruit peace for the Mingjiao uprising. It's a pity that there are too many traitors around him, especially Tong Guan, so Feng Lei Ye must get rid of Tong Guan and try to make the Song court change his attitude and no longer hunt down the Ming sect. Now that the general trend has gone, if Feng Leiye wants to kill Tong Guan, he must first gain Tong Guan's trust. If you want to gain Tong Guan's trust, you must first take his head and surrender to Tong Guan!
Later, of course, Feng Lei Ye did not take off the head of the sect leader, but he obeyed the order to take advantage of the confrontation between the sect leader and Tong Guan to sneak attack the sect leader from behind, so that Tong Guan could successfully capture the sect leader alive. Feng Lei Ye looked out the window, the wind and rain were gloomy, and he thought to himself, more than a year has passed, and he has lost all his internal strength, although he has secretly practiced Dugu Jue's swordsmanship, but he never dares to show it, because the longer he has served Tong Guan, the more he feels that Tong Guan's martial arts are unfathomable, and even if he has not lost his internal strength, he may not be able to assassinate Tong Guan with his own strength. Although he also thought about poisoning, but Tong Guan was very suspicious, and the diet was controlled by a special person, he had no way to start, thinking about it, only by trying to make Tong Guan more trusting and reusing himself, could he have the opportunity to first instigate Tong Guan to suggest that the emperor stop pursuing the Mingjiao disciples, and then find a good opportunity to assassinate him.
While thinking about it, the sky has dawned, and the wind and rain have stopped for a while. At this moment, Tong Guan sent someone to summon Feng Lei Ye into the palace. It turned out that at that time, the Song and Jin alliances attacked Liao with one north and one south, and agreed that the two sides would jointly destroy Liao and share the land of Liao equally. Originally, the Song army was scheduled to attack Yanjing of Liao, and the Jin soldiers attacked Xijing of Liao, but because of the Mingjiao incident in the south, all the elite soldiers were transferred to the south, which was delayed for more than half a year. Even so, the Song court still hoped that the Jin State would return the land around Yanjing Mansion that had been occupied by the Liao State to the Great Song Dynasty in accordance with the previous agreement between the two sides, so he ordered Tong Guan to send an envoy to the Liao State, but the Song division came out later and was defeated, Tong Guan knew that the Jin State might not be willing to act according to the covenant anymore, so he sent a number of high-ranking gentry with a number of masters and envoys to accompany him, thinking that if the Jin State refused, he would simply kill the commander of the Jin State and seize the Yanjing Mansion while the chaos was over. Tong Guan summoned Feng Lei Ye to come, and it was for this reason that he asked Feng Lei Ye to walk with the high gentleman. He said to Feng Lei Ye: "Assassinating the commander of the Jin State is a dangerous move, and it will definitely attract the revenge of the Jin State. You are quite strategic, go with the gentry, and see if you can analyze the stakes with the commander of the Jin State and teach him back my Yanjing Mansion! ”
Feng Lei Ye knew that the Song army was defeated, and he still had to promise to Qiu Jin Guo Xinnuo that it was extremely difficult to return Yanjing Mansion to the Great Song Dynasty, but he thought that the more difficult it was, if he let him do it, in front of Tong Guan, his status would be even more improved, and his hope of completing the task assigned by the sect leader would also be greatly increased. So he promised Tong Guan: "Don't worry, Master Tong, I will try my best to say that the commander of the Jin Kingdom will return my Yanjing Mansion to live up to my mission!" ”
Feng Lei Ambition thought to himself, the Jin State had just destroyed Liao, and after the war, he should not want to be the enemy of the Great Song Dynasty again, if he analyzed the advantages of the Jin and Song reconciliation to the commander of the Jin State, even if he could not get back Yanjing Mansion, it was still possible to try to return to several nearby states and counties. So he immediately went back to pack up, and soon accompanied the envoy to the Jin Kingdom with the gentry.
To Feng Leiye's surprise, when he met Wan Yan Zongwang, the commander of the Jin Kingdom, he met Wan Yan Zhong, the eldest brother who had married Jin Lan outside Kaifeng City. It turned out that Wanyan Zhong was Wanyan Zongwang, and he was also the commander of the Jin army, known as the "Bodhisattva Prince".
Wanyan Zongwang was very happy to see Feng Lei Ye's arrival, and immediately abandoned the Great Song Dynasty envoy and all the people who came, and called his subordinates to prepare wine to entertain Feng Lei Ye.
Wanyan Zongwang held Feng Leiye's hand and said: "Since the farewell of Lingjiang Garden, I have never seen the second brother and the third brother again, the eldest brother is very worried, I am so happy to see the second brother today!" ”
Feng Lei Ye couldn't help but feel sad: "I don't want to say goodbye that day, and I'm already out of place at this moment." Unexpectedly, the eldest brother turned out to be the prince of the Jin Kingdom, why did he change his name to Wan Yanzhong? ”
Wanyan Zongwang remembered that he concealed his true identity when he worshiped Feng Leiye and Dugu Jue, and said with a smile: "I traveled to the Central Plains under the pseudonym Wanyan Zhong, just to facilitate my travel to the Central Plains, and when I made friends with you and the third brother, I couldn't confess my identity, and I didn't want you to be worried about it, and I asked the second brother to understand." ”
Then Wan Yan Zong looked at Feng Lei Ye and talked about the reason why he went to Lingjiang Garden with the gentry to see the famous sword event, and the two of them remembered Dugu Jue's heroic posture of competing with the masters of various factions and finally winning the championship on the high platform, as well as the heroic feat of Feng Lei Ye and the four great Dharma kings teasing the martial arts of the Central Plains, they both felt extremely nostalgic.
Wanyan Zongwang remembered that Feng Lei Ye was good at descending the dragon with eighteen palms, and said: "Second brother, although it was the third dragon that day, according to the eldest brother, your eighteen dragon descending palms are not inferior to the third brother's swordsmanship. Your eighteen dragon-descending palms are the mastery of Uncle Xiao that I saw when I was a child, I really want to see it again, can you make a few moves? ”
Wanyan Zong saw that Feng Lei Ye was silent, and even gloomy, remembering his identity on this trip, he asked: "Second brother, you were originally the left envoy of the Ming Sect, why did you become Tong Guan's subordinate?" What's going on? ”
Feng Lei Ye drank a bowl of spirits, sighed and said, "Don't hide it from my eldest brother, I have lost all my internal strength, and I can't make the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Descending anymore!" ”
"Huh?" Wanyan Zongwang was startled, stretched out his hand to hold Feng Lei Ye's wrist vein, and when he looked into it, he knew that what Feng Lei Ye said was not necessary, and he had indeed lost all his internal strength, so he said: "Second brother, who hurt you?" Tell the eldest brother, and the eldest brother will avenge you! ”
Feng Lei Ye waved his hand and said: "Thank you big brother for your care, this matter is not for big brother, the foolish brother will have to recover this blood debt sooner or later." The eldest brother just asked why the foolish brother became Tong Guan's subordinate, the foolish brother is really in trouble, it is difficult to explain it to the eldest brother, and I ask the eldest brother to forgive him! ”
Wanyan Zongwang was originally a thoughtful person, he had heard that the Ming Sect was defeated, and had sent someone to inquire about the whereabouts of Feng Lei Ye, and now he saw Feng Lei Ye as a subordinate of Tong Guan with the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, although Feng Lei Ye was reluctant to say it explicitly, but he guessed that it must be related to Ming Sect. So he didn't force each other, but said: "Since the second brother doesn't say it, the eldest brother won't ask." It's just that if the second brother wants to revitalize Mingjiao in the future, there is something that the eldest brother can help, just tell the eldest brother, the eldest brother is fully supporting! ”
Feng Lei Ye was very moved, and asked Yan Zongwang in this way: "Big brother, this time the Jin and Song alliances attacked the Liao State, and there was an agreement that after the Liao State was destroyed, Yanjing Mansion and nearby prefectures and counties would be owned by the Song Dynasty. Now, what does Big Brother think? ”
Wanyan Zongwang pondered for a moment and said, "The Jin and Song alliances should have acted according to the agreement. But the Song soldiers were too pustuated and didn't help at all, so there were many objections in the Dajin court to return Yanjing Mansion to the Song court. But my father is a man who keeps his promises, and in his early years, he had a very good friendship with Uncle Xiao from the Song Kingdom, and now the second brother comes to ask for it in person, how can the eldest brother not miss our deep brotherhood? Since I have the right to make decisions on the spot as the commander-in-chief, I will give Yanjing Mansion to the Song court, which can be regarded as a gift to the second brother. I'll send someone to inform my father right now!" ”
Feng Lei Ye was overjoyed, got up and thanked Wan Yan Zongwang, Wan Yan Zongwang hurriedly helped him up: "Second brother, don't do this big gift, you and my brother, why are you so restrained?" ”
Wanyan Zongwang immediately summoned his generals and ordered him to report his decision to return Yanjing Mansion to the Song court, and to report to his father as soon as possible. The general listened to the order and left, Wanyan Zongwang remembered one thing, and smiled at Feng Lei Ye: "The eldest brother wants to introduce a big beauty to the second brother, this person is not only beautiful but also has good martial arts and good strategies, I was going to send her south to the Song court, first introduce her to the second brother to know, follow the second brother to the south, maybe help the second brother in the future!" ”
After speaking, Wanyan Zongwang summoned Li Nuxia, and soon, he saw a beautiful woman in a gorgeous costume entering, Feng Lei Ye saw that the woman was very familiar, and then remembered that she was the woman in red who was chased by four middle-aged female swordsmen of Meilan Juzhu after swearing brothers with Wanyan Zongwang and Dugu Jue on the way back to the main altar of Mingjiao. He still remembers that she had said at the time that her surname was Li.
Wanyan Zongwang beckoned to the woman and said, "Come, come, Li Nuxia, I will introduce a big hero for you, this is my righteous brother Feng Lei Ye, he is..."
"He is the bright left envoy of the Ming Sect!" The woman turned to Feng Lei Ye and smiled, "Thank you Feng Zuo Envoy for helping me at that time and retrieving the Palm Ring for me!" Now I can tell you that I am the palace master of the Vulture Palace, Li Huanni. ”
Wanyan Zongwang was stunned and said, "It turns out that the two of you have known each other for a long time? ”
Feng Lei Ye got up, hugged his fist to Li Huanni as a salute, and then said to Wanyan Zongwang: "It's not about acquaintance, just after the foolish brother met the eldest brother, he met the Li Palace Master on the road. ”
Li Huanni saw that Feng Lei Ye was Wanyan Zongwang's righteous brother, and smiled at him: "Meeting is acquaintance, why is Feng Zuo's envoy so outside?" As he spoke, he pulled Feng Lei Ye and sat next to each other.
It turns out that this Li Huanni is a person with a strong temperament and extreme persistence, since she was caught by Feng Lei Ye at the fork in the road, but after returning her ring, she unconsciously fell in love with Feng Lei Ye, but Feng Lei Ye did not put her in the bottom of her eyes, she was arrogant, and only said that her surname was Li and left. Then every time I think of Feng Lei Ye's heroic expression, there is a little sweet and sour taste in my heart, and I want to go to Mingjiao to find Feng Lei Ye several times, but I have no excuse, and now I actually saw Feng Lei Ye in the place where I want to see Feng Lei Ye, and my heart can't help but overflow with the joy of reunion.
Feng Lei Ye was suspicious of Li Huanni's claim to be the lord of the Vulture Palace, but when he first arrived at the mansion of the commander of the Jin army, he first met his righteous brother Wan Yan Zhong, and learned that his righteous brother Wan Yan Zhong was actually the commander of the Jin army, Wan Yan Zongwang, and he was already overjoyed. Seeing Li Huanhong again, although she has no deep friendship, she is also an old acquaintance, and she also feels close to Li Huanni in her heart.
After the three of them drank a few cups, Wanyan Zongwang said to Feng Lei Ye: "Second brother, I will leave the Song envoy and his entourage behind, leaving you here alone, the Song envoy must be suspicious, you should go and see them first, and tell them the good news that I am willing to return Yanjing Mansion to Song Ting, and by the way, tell them that I am your eldest brother, presumably Song Ting not only no one dares to bully you, but also greatly rewards you!" ”
Feng Lei Ambition thought that it was okay for Song Envoy to be suspicious, after all, he was a messenger, and he would not dare to leave or act rashly without news. However, the gentry with several masters, if they are suspicious and plot to assassinate their righteous brothers, it will be a bad thing. So he got up and said to Wanyan Zongwang: "What the eldest brother said is very true, I will go and tell the Song envoy!" ”
Li Huanni looked up at Feng Lei Ye and said, "Feng Zuo should go back quickly, the palace master and Prince Bolong are waiting for you to come back here and continue to drink and talk!" ”
Feng Lei Ye nodded to Li Huanni and left.
After Yan Zong saw Feng Lei Ye leaving, he immediately restrained his smile and said to Li Huanni: "Lady Li, you are not the palace master of the Vulture Palace now, why do you want to deceive my second brother?" ”
Seeing that Yan Zongwang's tone was solemn, Li Huanni knew that he valued the brotherhood between him and Feng Lei Ye very much, and suspected that he had deceived Feng Lei Ye with malicious intentions, so he immediately explained to Wan Yan Zongwang: "Please rest assured that the Bodhisattva Prince, my Feng Zuo Envoy has no malice, and even..." It's just that the left envoy of the wind doesn't know that I secretly rejoice in him..."
As soon as these words came out, Li Huanni herself was also surprised, the affection that she had hidden in her heart for a long time had not yet confided in Feng Lei Ye, how could she say it in front of Wan Yan Zongwang, thinking that only by confiding her sincerity could Wan Yan Zongwang be willing to believe that she had no ill will towards Feng Lei Ye.
Wanyan Zongwang was surprised at first, and then said with a smile: "It is also very common for beauties to love heroes. But why lie to him? ”
Li Huanni said proudly: "Prince, you have already signed to help me, so sooner or later I will become the palace master of the Vulture Palace, but the Vulture Palace is far away in the west, and I have never had much contact with the Central Plains martial arts, I just don't want to explain too much to the Feng Zuo Envoy and make him suspicious." ”
"I see..."Wanyan Zongwang said in a deep voice: "As you said, I promise to help, if you become the Lord of the Vulture Palace in the future, if I have something to help in the Central Plains Martial Arts, you must not disobey, do you know?" ”
"Of course!"
Wanyan Zongwang said again: "But this is a matter for the future, and at the moment, there is still one thing I can ask you to help me with." If you really have affection for your second brother, after you go south with your second brother, please take care of your second brother on my behalf, okay? ”
Li Huanni said with a smile: "Feng Zuo makes martial arts strong, I'm afraid that he is the only one who takes care of me, why should I take care of him?" Isn't the prince joking with me? ”
Wanyan Zongwang shook his head and sighed: "Not to mention that you are a scheming person, you will definitely be able to help my second brother." Right now, my second brother doesn't know who hurt him, and his internal strength has been completely lost, so you will go south on behalf of me, and you will definitely protect my second brother! ”
Li Huanni exclaimed: "Huh? The left side of the wind has lost all its internal strength...", and then hung his head suddenly.
Wanyan Zongwang saw from her look that she was genuinely concerned about Feng Lei Ye, and believed that Li Nihong would definitely help Feng Lei Ye, so she put her heart at ease.
Feng Lei Ye lingered in the Yanjing Mansion for several days, on the one hand, he reunited with Wanyan Zongwang about his brother's reunion, and on the other hand, he waited for Wanyan Zongwang's father's decision. Sure enough, he soon received the will of Wanyan Zongwang's father, Wanyan Aguta, and agreed to send Yanjing Mansion and nearby prefectures and counties to the Song court. The envoy was overjoyed, and Feng Lei Ye said goodbye to Wanyan Zongwang and returned to Kaifeng with the envoy and the gentry. Wanyan Zongwang was sent out of the city. He also said to the envoy that Jin and Song Yong were friends, and Li Huanni went to Kaifeng on his behalf to pay tribute to the Emperor of the Song Dynasty.
The envoy and Gao Shen, Feng Lei Ye, Li Huanni went all the way to Kaifeng, along the way, the messenger and Gao Shen learned that Feng Lei Ye and Wan Yan Zongwang are sworn brothers, and Li Huanni this trip is on behalf of Wan Yan Zongwang to meet the current saint, for both of them are extremely respectful, Gao Shen remembered that he had bullied Feng Lei Ye in the past, but also deliberately flattered, Feng Lei Ye saw in his eyes, knew Gao Shen's intentions, but wanted to use him to further get close to Tong Guan, so he still respected Gao Shen very much, Gao Shen was overjoyed, and said that from now on he will treat Feng Lei Ye as a brother.
Along the way, Feng Lei Ye and Li Huanni talked a lot, admired each other very much, and were extremely happy with Li Huanni's cool air, and gradually developed a good impression of Li Huanni, and his affection was secretly born.
After the envoy returned to the Song court, Tong Guan led the report to the emperor that the Jin State was willing to return Yanjing Mansion, but he did not mention the wind and thunder field, and took all the credit on Tong Guan and the envoy. Emperor Song was very happy and rewarded Tong Guan and the messenger, but he didn't know that it was Feng Lei Ye who made a great contribution. Feng Lei Ye didn't care about this, he didn't want the emperor's reward, but the emperor didn't know, Tong Guan knew that this merit was set up by Feng Lei Ye, but he was not proud of his merits, and trusted him more, and heard the high gentleman say that Feng Lei Ye was the sworn brother of Wanyan Zongwang, so he also promoted Feng Lei Ye's official position, so that he could enter and leave the palace, serve by his side, and be more reused.
As for Li Huanni, she was supposed to see the emperor on behalf of Wanyan Zongwang, but Tong Guan was afraid that she would tell the truth in front of the emperor, so she deliberately made up some words such as the saint who had all the opportunities to meet on the day to prevaricate Li Huanni. On the way back to Kaifeng from Yanjing Mansion, Li Huanni had already fallen in love with Feng Lei Ye, and wanted to go straight to the palace in the name of Wan Yan Zongwang's representative, but after listening to Feng Lei Ye's persuasion, he endured it. Although Tong Guan did not let Li Huanni see the emperor, she was a representative sent by Wanyan Zongwang after all, and she was considered a personal envoy, so of course she would not neglect her, so she kept her in her own mansion and sent dozens of servants and maids to listen to her call and take good care of her.
