The two of them were polite again, and finally Qiao Sanhuai began to ask about Xie Guhong's experience again.

Xie Guhong paused and said: "That year, I traveled all the way to the south, and unconsciously arrived in Dali, but I saw a few people fighting in front of me...... "He said all the things he had encountered over the years, the places he had visited, and the key points one by one, and when it came to Xie Guhong's abolition of Gao Ye's martial arts, a voice sounded outside, saying: "But is the senior brother back?" ”

As he spoke, a woman came in from outside, this woman was about forty years old, with a brocade handkerchief on her head, but she looked quick and capable in her movements, it was Qiao's family.

After Xie Guhong saw her, he pointed to the chair next to him and said with a smile: "Brother and sister, sit down." ”

Qiao's personality is by no means affectionate, so he sat directly on a chair and said: "When I entered the door, I heard Senior Brother say that Gao Ye's hands were gone, and my heart was very happy, and I asked Senior Brother to continue talking. ”

Xie Guhong nodded and said: "After that, I returned to Dali City with Duan Shouhui and Gao Zhisheng, but who knows, when I went to Duan Shouhui's mansion, there was a group of masked people in it, slashing and killing indiscriminately, even Duan Shouhui's son has been killed by these people, I saw that the other party was so cruel, so I immediately made a move......"

Xie Guhong told what he had encountered in Dali, Yunnan, and then told him about his experience over the years, when he was halfway through, Qiao's had already asked people to prepare a table of wine banquets, and then everyone talked to each other while eating wine, and often asked some specific details of Xie Guhong's experience.

This meal was eaten from noon to evening, or even to the evening. Wait for the banquet to be removed. Since I began to drink tea slowly, this tea is also a good tea sent by Dali. Qiao Sanhuai is usually reluctant to drink, but this time Xie Guhong came back. I just took it out.

Qiao Sanhuai took a sip of tea, put the cup down, and said, "I see, at first, your brother and sister-in-law and I thought something had happened to you, but then we received your letter, so we were relieved." ”

Gu Laodao also nodded when he heard this, and said: "Although Xie Daxia's deeds have been circulating on the rivers and lakes for a long time, but at this moment, when I heard Xie Daxia himself narrate, Lao Dao admired it even more. ”

Xie Guhong said: "Daoist Gu is serious. "Talking. He said, "How did Feng'er join the beggar gang again over the years?" ”

When Qiao Sanhuai heard this, his face couldn't help but show relief, and said: "Feng'er has been practicing martial arts since he was sensible, and when he was fifteen years old, I let him walk the rivers and lakes, and I was worried at first, but as long as the child is at home, he will never grow up, and later he actually broke into some fame in the rivers and lakes." And I heard that the beggars were chivalrous, protecting the family and the country, and loyalty first, so I joined them. After that, he sent letters from time to time, telling me that he and his mother were all right. I wrote some more things about the gang, and that's it. actually worshiped Wang Jiantong a year ago and became the only disciple of Wang Gang Master. This is something I never expected. ”

Xie Guhong said: "Oh? Did he worship Wang Jiantong's door? ”

Qiao Sanhuai nodded and said, "Yes, that was four years ago, when the senior brother was far away in the Western Regions, and he didn't know this news." ”

Gu Laodao also said: "Now that Qiao Xian's nephew has become the closed disciple of the Wang Gang Master, and he has a lot of prestige among the beggar gangs, and he has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, everyone calls him the Young Gang Master, and I think that in the future, the Wang Gang Master will definitely pass on the world-famous dog beating stick to Qiao Xian's nephew." ”

Xie Guhong smiled when he heard this: "Then my junior brother is the head of this faction, and my son is the leader of the beggar gang, and it is the tiger father who has no dog." ”

Qiao Sanhuai shook his hand again and again, and said: "Senior brother, don't make fun of the junior brother, in my heart, the head of the White Camel Mountain, will always be the senior brother, but the senior brother is affectionate, and the sect tokens left by the old man are looking for it all the year round. ”

Xie Guhong looked at Gu Lao Dao and said, "Can Daoist Gu help me testify today?" ”

Gu Laodao didn't know what he meant, but he still nodded to himself and said, "Xie Daxia is too polite, let me testify, you just say it." ”

After Xie Guhong thanked him, he turned to Qiao Sanhuai and said, "There are still a lot of things that I can't fake to others, so I will give full authority to my junior brother Qiao Sanhuai in this sect, and the position of the head of this sect is naturally his." ”

Gu Lao Daofang nodded, and without waiting to speak, Qiao Sanhuai waved his hand again on the side, and said, "Brother, I have only been doing what my senior brother suggested in the letter over the years, so what is the contribution?" I think it's great to continue to do so in the future. ”

Xie Guhong said solemnly: "No! Since ancient times, it has been said that the name is not right. As he spoke, he took out a mutton fat jade plaque from his bosom.

This jade plaque is a piece of ancient jade that Xie Guhong found from the border of Yunnan, and then he spent a lot of money to hire a famous craftsman, on which he carved the word "head" in the ancient Lishu, and carved a lifelike camel on the back, just to prepare at this time.

Xie Guhong held the jade card in his hand and said, "This jade talisman of the head will be passed to you today." As he spoke, he handed over the jade plaque.

Qiao Sanhuai refused to accept it, but he couldn't stand Xie Guhong's "earnest teaching" like in the sect, he really lacked skills, and the junior and younger brother's name was not right, and he didn't choose his words well, so he took over the order from the head of the sect at this time, what is the difference from before. In the end, Qiao Sanhuai was helpless, but he just said that he would keep it on his behalf, so he took the jade card.

Xie Guhong doesn't care about this, as long as he is willing to accept it, Gu Laodao testified from the side, although he didn't hold any major ceremonies, but it also conformed to the rules in the martial arts.

That night, Xie Guhong slept in the bedroom all night, and still got up early the next day, after breakfast, Gu Laodao resigned, Xie Guhong and Qiao Sanhuai sent him to the entrance of the village, looking at his departing back, Xie Guhong said: "Senior brother, there is one thing, I need to talk to you and my brother and sister alone." ”

Qiao Sanhuai saw that Xie Guhong's expression was very solemn, and he didn't dare to slack off, and when he returned to the faction, he called an apprentice and asked him to find his master's wife, and then entered a clean room with Xie Guhong, and said, "Senior brother, what's the matter?" ”

Xie Guhong shook his head and said, "Wait for my brother and sister, I have to talk about this matter with both of you at the same time." ”

Seeing this, Qiao Sanhuai didn't ask anymore. After waiting for a while, Qiao Shi walked in and sat down. He asked again, "Senior brother, has something happened to you?" ”

The two of them asked. But seeing that Xie Guhong was silent, staring out the window for a while, Qiao Sanhuai said to Qiao's heart: "Something big must have happened, maybe it is closely related to the sect." Therefore, he asked, "Senior brother, is it related to the sect?" ”

Xie Guhong glanced at them and said, "No." Then he paused again before he said slowly: "Before I talk about this matter, I will tell you two a story." ”

Qiao Sanhuai and Qiao Shi glanced at each other. Qiao Sanhuai nodded and said, "Senior brother, please speak." ”

Xie Guhong straightened out his thoughts and said: "It was more than 20 years ago, there was a person in the Liao State, named Xiao Yuanshan, who once worshiped a Han man to learn martial arts, learned a skill, and won the respect of the Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao State and the appreciation of the emperor, worshiped as the head of the three armies, because he once swore to his teacher. He did not kill a Han man in his lifetime because he did not want the two countries to fight each other, and often advised the emperor of Liao not to use swords and soldiers in vain, so as not to ruin his life. During the years between the Song and Liao countries, although there were occasional frictions on the border, there was no major war. In my opinion, such acts. Although he is a native of Liao, he is also a good man. ”

Qiao Sanhuai and his wife nodded in unison when they heard this. said: "Yes, there are such characters among the Khitans, and they can be regarded as heroes." ”

Xie Guhong first told Xiao Yuanshan's identity in the Liao State, and then turned to a person in the Central Plains martial arts, and said, "Do you know the Gusu Murong clan?" ”

Qiao Sanhuai nodded and said: "Gusu Murong Clan, is a martial arts family, and the name of the other way to return the other body, as long as it is a person in the martial arts, I am afraid it will know." "Although Qiao's family has rarely set foot in the rivers and lakes over the years, as Qiao Sanhuai's fame grows, how can the Murong family, who is very famous in the martial arts, not know? Therefore, he also nodded, indicating that he knew.

Xie Guhong continued: "But do you know what the identity of this Gusu Murong clan is? ”

Qiao Sanhuai and his wife knew that there must be a deep meaning in his words, and asked, "What is your identity?" ”

Xie Guhong said: "This Murong clan is a descendant of the Xianbei clan and the royal family of Yan in ancient times, and this Murong clan has been committed to the restoration of Yan for generations. One day he passed on a message to a big man in the martial arts in the Central Plains, this news is that the Liao State secretly sent a large number of masters to sneak into the Shaolin of the Central Plains, stealing the practice and cracking of seventy-two stunts, and then let the Liao soldiers all practice, and then counterattack the Great Song Dynasty, and the flowers and mountains will be like exploring the bag. ”

Although Qiao Sanhuai and his wife knew that more than 20 years had passed since they heard this, and the conspiracy of the Liao State must have not been completed, they were still anxious in their hearts, and said, "Then what's the matter?" Senior brother, hurry up. ”

Xie Guhong continued: "Then this big man naturally believed Murong Bo, and immediately summoned more than twenty well-known masters in the martial arts to go to Yanmen Pass to ambush. But when they arrived at Yanmen Pass, they ambushed for a morning, but they didn't see anyone coming, when they were anxious, they saw a team of Liao soldiers and horses coming, more than 20 people shouted, and rushed down at the same time, they were all strong in martial arts, how could these soldiers be their opponents, and in less than a moment, they would kill this team of soldiers and horses. ”

Qiao Sanhuai sighed and said, "I see, fortunately, these people intercepted and killed the people of Liao, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable." ”

Xie Guhong didn't say anything after hearing this, but continued to talk on his own, and said: "But these martial arts masters, when they were happy in their hearts, suddenly there were a few whips in the air, followed by a burst of singing, and these people hurriedly scattered around and hid their bodies under the signal of the leading brother. After a while, I saw a carriage coming from north to south, who are you driving the carriage at the front? ”

Qiao Sanhuai said: "Isn't it Xiao Yuanshan that Senior Brother said before?" ”

Xie Guhong said: "It was him, he had just given birth to a child at that time, so he took his wife across Yanmen Pass to go to the child's grandmother's house to save relatives, but after arriving at Yanmen Pass, he suddenly saw corpses all over the field, and they were all soldiers, Xiao Yuanshan, as the head of the three armies, couldn't help but check it." But it is precisely because of this that it has caused a great tragic incident. He followed, explained the things in detail one by one, and explained the cause and effect at all. When it was said that the child was given to a farmer at the foot of Shaomu Mountain by Wang Jiantong at that time, Qiao Sanhuai and his wife couldn't stop trembling, how could they not understand in their hearts?

Just listen to how Xie Guhong met Murong Bo again, and how the other party stole the martial arts of Shaolin Temple. Then they also talked about the story of their fight, and the other was when they turned around the day before. The process of leading Xiao Yuanshan into the woods was also explained one by one.

In the end, he said: "I made an agreement with Xiao Yuanshan that I would return here in a year no matter what. Let Qiao Feng recognize him. I really didn't inform you husband and wife of this in advance, and I did something wrong for my brother; It's just that you have to know that sooner or later, Feng'er will definitely know the truth, I think, if Feng'er knows the truth, he doesn't want to know it from the mouths of others. Can you tell Brother Wei first, what do you think? ”

Xie Guhong told the story, but in fact, he talked about the time of coming. Only then did they explain all the related things before and after clearly, Qiao Sanhuai and his wife were shocked and inexplicable after hearing it, especially Qiao's family, although he had a vigorous and resolute personality, but after all, he loved his son, and he only felt that once he told Qiao Feng about it, the child would leave him.

Although Qiao Sanhuai is much stronger than his wife in terms of mentality, after listening to it, his brain is also buzzing. I didn't know what to say for a moment. After being stunned for a long time, he said: "Senior brother's last words are indeed true, how can there be parents in the world who don't want to recognize their children." Yes. Feng'er will inevitably know the truth in the future. But Feng'er has been treated like a parent since we were young, but in fact we are closer than our own children, if we are separated......" he said. It was also what Qiao Shi wanted to say, to look at Xie Guhong with both eyes.

Xie Guhong said with relief: "I know the truth in the world. Often very cruel, but as a brother to the two of you. As long as I know, I must tell the truth with the two of you, otherwise what kind of good man would I be? ”

Qiao Sanhuai and Qiao's nodded, and said: "Senior brother treats me ten times closer than siblings, to tell the truth, our husband and wife are grateful, but at this time, I want to ask senior brother to help me think of a solution." ”

Xie Guhong said: "Although I haven't been in contact with Qiao Feng, you two know his character best, let me ask you, is he the kind of ungrateful person?" ”

Qiao Sanhuai and Qiao Shi shook their heads hurriedly at the same time, and said, "No! Feng'er is benevolent and righteous, and he is by no means this kind of person. ”

Xie Guhong said: "Great, Feng'er is not this kind of person, does he know that he is not your own child, so he will ignore you?" ”

Qiao Sanhuai and Qiao Shi said: "This ...... But it will never be. ”

Xie Guhong said: "That's good, even if you take 10,000 steps back and say the lesser of two evils, it should be you who tell him, instead of waiting for Xiao Yuanshan to find out the truth to him, yes, Feng'er will definitely know in the end no matter what, unless I go and kill everyone who knows about it, but Feng'er's biological father, how can I bear to do it?" ”

Qiao Sanhuai and his wife waved their hands again and again, and Qiao Sanhuai said hurriedly: "This is impossible, absolutely impossible." ”

Qiao Shi also opened his mouth and said: "If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have such a fate with Feng'er, no matter how bad the consequences are, I have no regrets." ”

Xie Guhong nodded and said: "Then it can only be like this, I intend to go to the border to help the beggars, Feng'er is also there, I will bring him back, when the two of you arrive, explain the matter to him, this is the best result." Speaking of this, he was relieved and said: "Feng'er is the most affectionate and righteous, and will never deny you, but I believe that after he knows about this, he will be more filial to the two of you." ”

When Qiao Sanhuai and his wife heard this, they pondered quietly for a long time, and Qiao Sanhuai said: "Then, it has to be like this." Looking at his wife with his eyes, the latter also nodded and said, "Senior brother, Feng'er will ...... then."

Xie Guhong said: "Brother and sister, don't worry, Feng'er doesn't recognize anyone, and it is impossible to deny the two of you." As I said just now, he is extremely affectionate, and if this matter is told to him by others, or Feng'er himself notices, it will not be beautiful. ”

Qiao nodded and said: "What Senior Brother said is reasonable, but the frontier is dangerous, although Senior Brother has martial arts in the world, he must be extremely careful." ”

Xie Guhong said with a smile: "Don't worry, there are not many people in this world who can hurt me, I'm afraid there are not many people, I found Feng'er, and he will be safe." ”

Another day passed, Xie Guhong washed up, changed into another white robe, still barely saluted, just rode a horse, the original one had died, Xie Guhong buried it, and the horse he was riding now belonged to the faction.

In fact, in the past few days since Xie Guhong came back, the disciples in the door heard that this master who has been in the rivers and lakes for decades is curious, but Xie Guhong has a lonely personality, in addition to practicing, it is to do things, and these disciples have seen him, but few people have said a few words to him, and they are leaving at this time.

Qiao Sanhuai and his wife sent Xie Guhong out of the mountain gate, cherished each other again, said goodbye to each other, Xie Guhong hit the horse and left, all the way to Hejian Mansion.

In Xie Guhong's view, this boundary is still prosperous, just because although the surrounding area of the Great Song Dynasty is restless at this time, its economic strength is unrivaled throughout the ages, so don't look at it as if it is almost to the border, but it is still not bad.

Vendors doing business, shops on both sides of the street, that's still quite a lot. Xie Guhong rode on a horse, secretly paying attention, and suddenly, he saw a small snake painted next to a courtyard, as if a child was playful, and then looked not far from the little snake, with the word "letter" written.

Note: "Oops! The shark brain is still buzzing, brothers, please continue to support it, thank you. (To be continued.) )
