Chapter 21: The Road Knows No Bounds
Behind the cliff of Huashan, a pine and cypress tree is verdant, the wind is continuous, the kingfisher is crying, and the small flowers are gnawing on the pine and cypress branches.
"The place where the gentleman lives is really a good place, but is the gentleman living here alone? Why don't you see Mu seniors. ”
Although Ah Jiu, who has an innocent demeanor, has experienced the shattering of mountains and rivers, her original fate has already changed, and she is just a little more mature than she was in Mount Tai three years ago.
On weekdays, Ah Jiu is also very majestic when he sees outsiders, but when he sees Lu Fengqiu, he can't afford to put on a shelf.
Not to mention that Lu Fengqiu once passed on her a swordsmanship, it was because of Emperor Chongzhen's respect for Lu Fengqiu, she didn't dare to be presumptuous.
"It's just quiet, my master and Mu Sang Dao Chang have been traveling the world together since last year, and I usually live with my dumb uncle and Xiaohui on this mountain."
Lu Fengqiu smiled faintly and poured a cup of tea for Ah Jiu.
This cave is against the edge of the cliff, usually no one, he will summon the Yuquan Temple, but when there are people, he will meet guests in front of the cave.
"Is your father well?"
Lu Fengqiu still remembers that late night, the figure with half-white hair lying on the desk and wearing a recital.
Ah Jiu said gratefully: "It's all thanks to Mr. who taught my father that the turtle is still ten pieces of brocade, my father's body is quite healthy, but he often talks about Mr., so Ah Jiu took the initiative to come to find Mr. out of the mountain." ”
Lu Fengqiu smiled slightly, and said: "It turns out that you are a girl who makes her own opinion, although I live in the mountains, I also know that Your Majesty has set the capital of Nanjing, and now the government has changed greatly, as long as Your Majesty listens to my words, within ten years, you will be able to recover the mountains and rivers of Daming." ”
Ah Jiu arched his hand and said: "Mr. Dacai, why are you willing to practice in Huashan?" ”
Lu Fengqiu naturally couldn't tell her the real reason, but said: "People in my generation should naturally pursue the avenue, the avenue is endless, but life has an end, people in my generation, throughout their lives, don't know how far they can go, and it is naturally inappropriate to be distracted from mundane things." ”
When Ah Jiu heard this, he said respectfully: "Mr. is indifferent to fame and fortune, Ah Jiu understands." ”
Lu Fengqiu smiled and said, "No need to be polite, after drinking this tea, let's go down the mountain, Chengzhi has made such a big move, I'm afraid the Qing court has already set its sights on here, your identity is sensitive, it's better to leave early." ”
Ah Jiu listened and said gratefully: "If Mr. uses Ah Jiu's place in the future, Ah Jiu will definitely die." ”
Lu Fengqiu shook his head and smiled: "If I can't do something, you naturally can't do it, don't bother, live well, live happily, it's the best thing." ”
When Ah Jiu heard this, her eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but look at Lu Fengqiu, speechless for a long time.
Lu Fengqiu smiled: "What? Flowers on my face? ”
Ah Jiu shook his head and said: "I don't know if it's Ah Jiu's illusion, every time I see Mr., I will feel a kind of care in Mr., just like the kind of care that my brother has for my sister." ”
Lu Fengqiu smiled slightly and said, "In my eyes, you are just a little sister." ”
When Ah Jiu heard this, he couldn't help but get closer, but he saw a sika deer on the side digging the soil pit with its front hooves.
Ah Jiu couldn't help but be surprised: "Is this the deer raised by Mr.?" ”
Lu Fengqiu said leisurely: "His name is Xiaohua." ”
Ah Jiu got up and stepped forward to stroke it, Xiaohua's eyes rolled and turned, and it was very smart, which made Ah Jiu laugh.
At this moment, there was a long horn sound in the mountains and forests in the distance, Lu Fengqiu frowned, and muttered: "I really don't know whether to live or die, it seems that I have to move my muscles and bones again today." ”
The next moment, Lu Fengqiu was no longer in place, and his figure was fleeting, a few feet away.
"Huh? Where's the gentleman? ”
Ah Jiu turned around and found that there was no trace of Lu Fengqiu, and he couldn't help but wonder.
Xiaohua raised her little hoof in the direction of Lu Fengqiu's departure.
Seeing this, Ah Jiu couldn't help touching Xiaohua's body and said, "You still understand human language?" Mr. is extraordinary, and sure enough, the pets he raises are also very smart and clever. ”
After that, Ah Jiu didn't stop, and went in the direction that Xiaohua pointed to.
……
In the depths of the dense forest halfway up the Huashan Mountain, a large number of birds were startled from the forest, flapping their wings and flying, and a team of heavily armed Qing soldiers appeared at the edge of the forest.
"My lord, three thousand soldiers and horses are already waiting at the foot of the mountain, as long as you give an order, none of these thieves on the mountain can escape today!"
A Qing soldier in armor knelt in front of a middle-aged man riding a tall horse and bowed his hands.
The middle-aged man was also dressed in armor, dressed in pure yellow, and wearing a red tasseled hat on his head.
The middle-aged man's face was gloomy, and he said: "These traitors on the rivers and lakes are plotting in Huashan, they really don't know whether they are alive or dead, and Yuan Chengzhi is even more evil, the imperial court has already had a strict order, and those who can take the head of this person should be a great achievement, and today Lei taught them to know that the world is the Qing Dynasty." ”
"Anyone who prevents me from ruling the world in the Qing Dynasty is a great rebellion! This is where we all deserve to die today! ”
"My lord, the spies on the mountain just came to report, saying that Princess Changping, the daughter of Chongzhen Lao'er, has also arrived in Huashan, if she can be captured alive, it will be a great achievement."
The guard beside him arched his hand.
"This Huashan is a nest of thieves, and Lord Ben just caught them all today! The heart of these traitors and thieves is clearly revealed, and today Lord Ben will take you and others to set foot here! ”
With that, the middle-aged man raised his horsewhip and signaled the army to start.
……
"Kill! Boys! Make a contribution, right now! “
When Lu Fengqiu appeared, the shouting of killing had already spread throughout the top of Huashan Mountain.
More than half of the thousands of Jianghu guests have been lost.
There are corpses everywhere, most of them are characters on the rivers and lakes, a few are Qing soldiers, and there are broken arms and stumps everywhere.
Yuan Chengzhi and the rest of the brothers were constantly fighting with the Qing soldiers, obviously having killed the red eyes, and they didn't notice Lu Fengqiu at all.
"Shoot!"
In the distance, flags were unfurled, drums were beaten, and a group of Qing troops had already set up a formation, erected their shields, and pulled their bows and crossbows.
The leader of the Yellow Banner gave an order, and the shadow of the arrows in the sky shot towards the crowd.
In an instant, more than a few people were hit by arrows and fell to the ground.
The blood flowed like a river, staining Huashan into a patch of red.
Lu Fengqiu saw Xiaohui fighting in the battle array, full of danger, and couldn't help but be angry, immediately jumped up, slapped several palms in a row, and killed the Qing soldiers around Xiaohui, and the spear of the Qing soldiers was broken by him.
Lu Fengqiu's shot made Yuan Chengzhi and others on the other side see it, and they couldn't help but applaud loudly.
Taking Xiaohui aside, Xiaohui saw Lu Fengqiu, her eyes were red and she cried and said, "Brother Fengqiu, they killed grandpa, you have to avenge grandpa!" ”
When Lu Fengqiu heard this, his heart sank, but he didn't expect that he was only half a minute late, and the dumb uncle died in the hands of these Qing soldiers.
Place Xiaohui well, let her not run around, the bow and arrow have no eyes, and if Xiaohui's kung fu rushes into the battle array, it will inevitably be damaged.
Lu Fengqiu raised his eyes and saw that there were Qing soldiers in the distance who kept going up the mountain, like flying locusts and ants, and kept shouting: "Kill the enemy!" Slash the enemy! ”。
Lu Fengqiu knew that if he continued to fight like this, these people on the mountain would not be able to escape their doom today.
These Qing soldiers are all elite, and they are commanded, and they are quite disciplined.
It's not a one-man fight, how can the characters of all sects and factions on this mountain be the opponent of these warriors.
Fighting on the battlefield, the warriors who cooperate in place are definitely much more powerful than the charlatans with unique skills.
Lu Fengqiu raised his eyes and saw the generals of the Qing army who were heavily protected in that battle array.
The next moment, Lu Fengqiu's body had already risen from the ground, and he jumped a few feet, he used his internal force, and with one palm, several Qing soldiers fell.
Thanks to his light skills, even those crossbow arrows could not hurt him.
Lu Fengqiu was like a dragon going out to sea, rushing straight to the center of the enemy formation.
It was just a blink of an eye, Lu Fengqiu had already approached the enemy formation, Lu Fengqiu snatched a few spears from the Qing soldiers, and threw them hard, and the Qing soldiers were strung three or five like sugar gourds, and the Qing soldiers in the enemy formation immediately shouted: "Protect your lord!" Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! ”
Lu Fengqiu didn't spare his hand at all, kicked the ground violently, and passed by the rain of arrows.
Such a big movement shocked all the characters from all walks of life who were fighting with the Qing soldiers in that battle array, and the movements of his subordinates couldn't help but slow down by three points, and they all secretly sweated for Lu Fengqiu.
And the next moment, Lu Fengqiu was like a god descending into the world, and he had already fallen behind the general of the Qing army.
For a while, the Qing soldiers around him surrounded him, throwing rat traps and not daring to move.
And the characters from all walks of life laughed loudly and applauded loudly.
"Traitor! What do you want to do! ”
The Qing army general who was held by Lu Fengqiu with a sword around his neck shouted.
Lu Fengqiu sneered: "If you want to live, let these dog minions of your dog put down their weapons and roll me down Huashan, otherwise, today next year will be your death day." “
The general of the Qing army said: "I, Lei Xing, am the dignified leader of the Zhenghuang Banner and the governor of Shaanxi, how can I be frightened by you, a traitor!" ”
"Acquaintances, you can quickly tie up your hands, the people on this mountain can still leave some alive, otherwise, Huashan today is a chicken and a dog!"
When Lu Fengqiu heard this, he directly handed the long sword forward an inch, and Lei Xing's neck was suddenly cut and blood flowed out.
"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, you only have two choices, one is to live and the other is to die."
That Lei Xing glared at Lu Fengqiu angrily and kept silent.
Lu Fengqiu was about to turn his wrist, and at this moment, a young general of the Qing army on the side shouted.
"Don't hurt my father! Let's withdraw! ”
After that, the young general of the Qing army stepped out of his horse, gave an order, and shouted: "Listen to my orders!" The whole army threw down their weapons and immediately descended the mountain! Make no mistake! Violators! Chop! ”
When Na Lei Xing saw what the young general did, he couldn't help but reprimand angrily: "Rebel! ”
The young general dismounted, knelt on the ground and arched his hand, saying, "It's not too late for the father to punish his son in the coming day." ”
After that, quickly urge those Qing soldiers to throw away their armor and withdraw down the mountain.
Lu Fengqiu saw that the young general looked worried, and said, "Who are you?" ”
The young general said: "I am the son of Lei Xing, the commander of the Yellow Banner of the Han Army, Lei Tianci." ”
When Lu Fengqiu heard this, he snorted coldly and said, "It turned out to be a son of the Han people, but he was a Manchu lackey, and he should be punished!" ”
After that, Lu Fengqiu raised his sword and took the life of the young general.
Seeing this, Na Lei Xing shouted angrily: "Traitor! I swear to kill you! ”
Lu Fengqiu looked at him coldly and said, "Do you think you can still walk down Huashan alive?" “
The next moment, Lu Fengqiu's sword had already pierced Lei Xing's chest.
Those Qing troops who lost their armor had already collapsed, and when they saw that the lord was about to die, they had no intention of fighting.
Those Jianghu people took advantage of the victory to pursue, but they left the lives of many Qing soldiers, and for a time the corpses on Huashan were all over the field, and the blood stained the sky.
The sun was setting, stretching Lu Fengqiu's shadow for a long time.
……
Three days later, on the top of Huashan, the breeze hunted, Lu Fengqiu said goodbye to Yuan Chengzhi and Xiaohui, and floated away with Xiaohua, under the pretext of traveling the world.
Since then, Yuan Chengzhi has never seen this Fengqiu brother in his life, whom he regarded as his eldest brother.
It's just that the legend about the "white-clothed showman" Lu Fengqiu has been circulating on the rivers and lakes since then.
