Xiangxi Prefecture has a long history, and according to archaeological discoveries, there were human activities in the Paleolithic Age. At the time of Tang Yu, it was known as "barbarian land" and belonged to the scope of "three seedlings". For a long time, the various ethnic groups in Xiangxi have been in a state of large mixed and small settlements, where there are many ethnic groups, the folk customs are fierce, coupled with the dense mountains and forests, the environment is claustrophobic, and even the imperial court's control over here is very weak.
The main things that work here are the toasts, the heads and the major families.
The Peng family, which Ling Taixu let the joints of the operation, be a wealthy family.
Peng's ancestral home is Shanxi, three hundred years ago the ancestors moved to Xiangxi to avoid disaster, since then it has taken root here, multiplied and developed, and now it has gone through the twelfth generation, the disciples of the Peng family are mainly engaged in business, farming and martial arts, there are thousands of fertile fields at home, countless shops in the city, and the people in Xiangxi are broad, and they are real snakes.
However, after Xingzhi came to Xiangxi, he did not go directly to Peng's house to visit, nor did he alarm the investigation team left here by the Tongxin Alliance, in fact, the information he gave to the intelligence officers was that he could only arrive ten days later.
For this reason, I traveled day and night, non-stop, and came to Xiangxi a few days earlier than the normal itinerary.
No one knows, the conduct silently turned around Xiangxi, dwarf village, Mengdong River, red stone forest, Zalongxia, Liye City, Qifeng Lake and other places, have left his footprints, except for the Tujia Village, which is very hostile to the Han people, he has traveled almost everywhere in Xiangxi.
In concealment, the conduct did not alarm anyone, at least on the surface.
On the ninth day, Xingzhi went to Furong Town to officially visit the Peng family.
Peng's twin heroes Peng Yinan and Peng Yibei are the great predecessors in the rivers and lakes, and the ancestral Five Tigers Broken Door Knife is a very famous knife technique in the world, plus the two are bold and righteous, hospitable, and have a very high reputation in the martial arts.
Receiving the letter of worship from Xingzhi, the two heroes of the Peng family went out of the door to greet them, they had not seen them before, but as soon as they saw the two, they knew which was Peng Yinan and which was Peng Yibei.
Peng Yinan is a one-armed hero, with only one left arm, and his right arm is broken at the elbow, which is the price paid when he competed with Guan Shendao.
However, although he is disabled, Peng Yinan is very cheerful and enthusiastic, and laughed as soon as he walked out of the door: "Your guests are coming, your guests are coming, no wonder the old man was noisy by the birds on the branches all morning, it turned out that he knew that the hero was going to come to the door today, haha......"
Compared with the eldest brother, Peng Yibei's smile was more subtle, but it was also full of enthusiasm and joy, and he smiled: "I have heard the name of the hero for a long time, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its name, it was really heroic and enviable." ”
The two of them were also followed by a middle-aged man in Tsing Yi, who also bowed down and said, "Wu Guangfa, who is lowly and has seen the Cao Patrol." ”
This person knows his behavior, Wu Guangfa, a white-spotted tiger under Master Changmei, the elder in charge of intelligence affairs of the Tongxin Alliance, is born white because of a tuft of hair on his forehead, coupled with his martial arts, so he got this nickname.
Cao Xingzhi smiled indifferently, hugged his fists and said: "Cao Mou has seen Peng Daxia, Peng Erxia." It just so happens that Hall Master Wu is also there, let's go in and talk. ”
After speaking, when he went to the gate first, there was an anti-guest momentum.
Peng's two heroes are very well educated, and they are not angry, Wu Guangfa said embarrassedly: "The patrol envoy has always been unconventional, please forgive me." ”
Peng Yinan laughed: "This is the true temperament, the old man likes it very much." Let's go, let's go inside!"
After all, Cao Xingzhi was not familiar with Peng's mansion, and after entering the gate, Peng Yibei hurried two steps, walking side by side with Cao Xingzhi, talking and leading the way, and after a while, the three of them entered a quiet secret room in the backyard.
Wu Guangfa is the identity of the hall master of the Outer Alliance in the Tongxin Alliance, and his actual status is not much worse than the conduct, but he does not want to conflict with the conduct, so he puts his posture very low, and takes the initiative to report: "Cao Patrol Envoy, after the Gongsun Hall Master was killed, he has been leading people to investigate the matter, but the enemy is very cunning, not only did he not leave any clues, but this time seems to have disappeared, we have checked many suspicious areas in Xiangxi, and we have not found anything valuable. It's really a shame to say, but the general altar has now invited the Cao Patrol Envoy to deal with this matter, and I believe that with the ability of the Cao Patrol Envoy, he will definitely be able to find out the truth and avenge the Gongsun Hall Master. ”
Conduct Xingzhi doesn't have any revenge thoughts at all, not to mention that his current thinking is Ding Peng, even if he changes to the previous behavior, because he doesn't deal with Gongsun Pu, he won't go all the way here to avenge him, and the purpose of Conduct Xingzhi here is very clear: with Ling Taixu's expectations and entrustment, track down the remnants of the Demon Sect.
Conduct Xingzhi snorted and said, "Where is the body, I want to take a look." ”
Wu Guangfa suddenly showed an embarrassed expression, looked at the Peng brothers, and said helplessly: "The weather is hot, the corpse will rot and stink in a few days, and I have waited for five days. ”
Xingzhi frowned: "I said in my letter that you must protect the corpse, why can't you wait for me for a few more days!"
Wu Guangfa sighed and didn't speak, Peng Yibei said: "Xiangxi is very hot and humid, the appearance of the Gongsun Hall Master at that time really can't be delayed any longer, in order to make the deceased Jiuquan blind, this matter is what I suggested to the Wu Hall Master, if you want to blame the hero, blame me." ”
Xingzhi was silent for a moment, didn't dwell on it any longer, and continued to ask: "Gongsun Hall Master came here to investigate the matter of the Demon Sect that day, and it is said that he has discovered some circumstances, does Hall Master Wu know what the situation is?"
Wu Guangfa shook his head: "The master of Gongsun Hall didn't say anything about his humble position, maybe he found something, but he was suddenly poisoned halfway, even if he found something, no one knows about it now." ”
Peng Yibei next to him sighed: "Gongsun Hall Master's martial arts are world-beating, he is upright, I can't imagine that he was poisoned by gangsters, so far Peng remembered the scene of drinking with Gongsun Hall Master, and he couldn't help but burst into tears, hey, God is jealous of talents!"
Peng Yinan patted his big belly and said: "Second brother, don't mention those unhappy, today's Cao Daxia is the first to come, everything will be put in the future, let's have a good drink at noon, take out my treasured old sweet wine, everyone is not drunk!"
The conduct was silent, and Wu Guangfa also laughed and said: "What Peng Daxia said is that the patrol envoy sleeps in the open all the way, we should wash the dust for him, it's just too annoying to the master." ”
Peng Yibei said with a smile: "What to say, the Tongxin Alliance is a leader in martial arts, and the Demon Guardian has always been anxious and righteous, and we people are also leaning against the big tree to enjoy the shade, the two of them contribute, and my brothers and two of them are drinking, no one is welcome." ”
The behavior is still silent, his face is indifferent, not approachable, the atmosphere is a little embarrassing, Wu Guangfa coughed, and when he was about to speak, Peng Yinan preemptively said: "the hero, don't you like to drink? This is also easy to do, I will let the house prepare some good dishes, and the wine will be temporarily exempted, after all, business is important." ”
After speaking, the Peng family looked at the two of them together, the two of them have traveled extensively in the martial arts, and in recent years, with the rise of their status and identity, no one has sold their face, and today they want to see if the rumored indifferent sword and bloody conduct is really not on the road?
Wu Guangfa stood beside him, his expression was cramped, uncomfortable, he wanted to speak, but he was afraid that Conduct Xingzhi would directly give himself a bad look, and Conduct Xingzhi's mouth would damage people, which was more powerful than his Flowing Wind Sword.
In the embarrassing atmosphere, but after a lot of time, Conduct Xingzhi finally spoke: "Wine...... It's free, but I heard that Xiangxi Guzhang Maojian is the world's famous tea, I don't know if Peng's Shuangxia can have a treasure?"
As soon as this sentence was said, Wu Guangfa finally felt like a prisoner waiting for the verdict, and was greatly relieved to hear the good news of the probation, and the Peng family also laughed, Peng Yinan patted his big belly and said: "The wine pipe is enough, and there is naturally no shortage of tea. ”
Peng's two heroes feel that they have face, if they change to an easy-going person, Peng's will not feel like this, but if they change their always difficult behavior, he is willing to stay and drink a cup of tea, which makes them feel that they have a big face, and their mood is very excited.
People in the martial arts love face, which can be seen from the Peng brothers.
