The Nanxun River flows from north to south, flowing from the east side of the imperial city, and there is a waterway connected with the lake in the palace.

Although it is very close to the imperial city, Longxi Lane is not a rich place, and most of the old eunuchs and palace maids who have a low status in the palace and are homeless after retirement, and some secret guards who are disabled in the line of duty will also be placed here.

The bright moon is in the sky, the cold moonlight is sprinkled in the bluestone deep alley, the lights between the buildings are dotted, and in one of the houses, there is a crisp tune of three strings, and a hoarse hum:

"Oh~Wow~......"

"In June, the heat is unstoppable, the wheat is yellow all over the mountain, and the sun is drying in the sun when the wheat is harvested by the long-term workers~ The shopkeeper's cool house, who leaves the world's two ......"

The tune is "The Ballad of Liang Zhou", a very famous minor key, almost everyone on Liang Zhou's side knows it, and the night terror hall will hum a few words.

But because this song has the meaning of encouraging the poor people to rebel against injustice, and the old men in the capital can't see the poverty of the people, this tune is basically not heard in the capital.

In the small courtyard, Liu Qiansheng, with gray hair, dressed in coarse cloth clothes, leaned on a bamboo reclining chair and held a three-stringed piano in his arms.

Since Qiu Tianhe persuaded and let go of the breath in his heart, Liu Qiansheng's whole personality has been much better than before, and he has seen through the world and the wind is calm.

In the middle of the yard, there was a very sturdy child, who was walking shirtless.

The child's name is She Xiaohu, and if he can take such a rough name, he will know that he is a species of the iron-armed impermanent She Long.

Because Liu Qiansheng himself is a boxer, and he has also taught apprentices like Jiang Zhahun, after being recruited, the people who came to the capital to let their nephews apprentice can be said to have broken through the threshold.

But on the rivers and lakes, it is difficult to find famous teachers, and it is even more difficult to find good apprentices, even if it is an immortal, it is difficult to carve a piece of rotten wood into a future martial artist.

Liu Qiansheng had a secret injury, and the breath in his heart was also dispersed, and his lifespan was only three or five years at most, and he wanted to pick a closed disciple to inherit the mantle as soon as possible.

The masters who can gain a foothold in the capital basically have no shortage of family business, and they are never ambiguous in laying the foundation for their children and nephews, and there are top doctors like Wang Taiyi to escort them, and there are not many good seedlings piled up.

Liu Qiansheng searched for a long time, and finally picked She Long's son, not because of his talent and understanding, but because the word 'Xiaohu' is his greatest expectation for the disciples who close the door, She Xiaohu is called this name, which can be regarded as a kind of fate in the dark.

She Xiaohu is only seven years old, and he doesn't know how much chance he has inexplicably, but he only knows that his father is as happy as a monkey these days, and tells him to study hard with this teacher every day.

Seeing that Liu Qiansheng had been humming a tune, and he didn't need to beat him with a ruler, She Xiaohu was a little dazed, thought about it and asked:

"Grandpa Liu, what are you singing?"

The three strings in Liu Qiansheng's hand did not stop, and he said with half-squinted eyes:

"Liang Zhou's tune."

"Is Liang Zhou so bitter?"

"What is this. can be a long-term worker in the landlord's house, and the family can eat brown rice on an old snack, which is considered a stable life over there. ”

Liu Qiansheng staggered on the recliner and recounted:

"When the old man was as old as you, my father was killed by horse bandits, and my mother was robbed by horse bandits.

"There is a wolf over there, the sheep are taken away by the wolf is death, and the sheep must die if they are lost, and they have no choice but to be forced, so they think about it blindly, lie on the ground and listen to the movement, at first they can hear ten zhang, and then half a mile, the wind and grass in the last few miles, all of which are in full view......"

"Didn't you lose the sheep?"

"Heh~ By that time, the old man had stopped herding sheep, and skinned the horse bandit leader alive and hung it outside the bandit village as a flag."

She Xiaohu blinked, obviously shocked by these words:

"Doesn't the bandit officer care?"

"The court over there can't control it, so there are rivers and lakes. The old man is not a good person, he sells salt and iron to collect tribute, and the people of Liangzhou call the old man 'Hongshan bandit'. But they forgot what the scene was before the old man dominated the Liang Zhou side.

"Where there is no royal law and no rules of the rivers and lakes, people have no scruples, and their hearts are far more vicious than lions and tigers. And the old man collected the tribute, at least the horse bandits did not dare to set foot in the territory of the Hongshan Gang, and every year the crops were harvested, they would leave some rations......"

For~~

While Liu Qiansheng was talking, the three-stringed piano in his hand suddenly paused, making a long trill, and his eyes also opened, looking in the direction of the entrance of Longxi Lane.

She Xiaohu was still listening to the story, and when she saw that her master didn't say anything, she was a little puzzled.

"Go back through the back door, I won't have to learn boxing tomorrow."

Liu Qiansheng put down the three-stringed piano, sighed secretly, thought about it and said:

"The old man is to blame for the sin of looting the people in the past, but the root cause of this mistake has always been the inaction of the imperial court. He is in the house of the eunuch, and he will also be a member of the court in the future, and in the future, he must remember the old man's boxing skills, under what circumstances he was forced out, and strive to solve the source, don't let the next Liu Qiansheng appear in Liangzhou. ”

"Oh."

She Xiaohu obviously didn't understand, this was 'a man who is dying and his words are good', he just nodded as if he didn't understand, put away his horse and ran out of the back door quickly......

——

Wow~~

The stream in the canal flows from under the stone slab to the Nanxun River, making a slight and light sound.

On the small street outside Longxi Lane, Zheng Kun, dressed as a merchant, walked slowly, carrying two baskets on his shoulders, which contained half-sold goods, and his eyes looked among the surrounding buildings.

After arriving near the street entrance, Shi Yanfeng, who was dressed as an ordinary housekeeper, leaned forward quietly, made the appearance of looking at the goods, and said in a low voice:

"I have already touched the perimeter, and there are three black officials who are patrolling and scattering several entrances and exits of Longxi Lane, which seems to be used to prevent Liu Qiansheng from escaping and can't stop us and others."

"Are you sure Liu Qiansheng is inside?"

"The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, as long as I get close, Liu Qiansheng will definitely be able to detect it, and I didn't go in. However, judging from the route of the black ya's head-catching patrol, it should live in the middle of Longxi Lane. ”

Seeing this, Zheng Kun put down the basket and tidied up his robe:

"The longer it drags on, the easier it is to get out of the way, so why don't you do it directly."

Shi Yanfeng is a brother in the rivers and lakes that Jiang Zha Hu met after he was expelled from the school, because Jiang Zha Hu lived in a simple house and rarely showed up, and he managed the finances of the Hongshan Gang and belonged to his confidants.

And Zheng Kun is the leader of the forces who was subdued by Jiang Zahu, and his relationship with Jiang Zha Hu is not as iron as Shi Yanfeng, so all kinds of arrangements are based on Shi Yanfeng.

Shi Yanfeng's personality is more stable, not as irritable as Zheng Kun, and after glancing around, he frowned and said:

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the capital, I didn't know the details, and it was easy to be ambushed if I rushed in."

Zheng Kun shook his head and said, "If you want to ambush, you have to know who we are and what our purpose is." After I entered Beijing, I committed a murder a few days ago, and the court didn't find anything, if someone was ambushed here, unless there were ghosts in the gang and the court reported that we were sold. ”

Shi Yanfeng thought about it a little, and felt that it was so, so he didn't say anything more, took out three copper sticks from the bottom of the basket, avoided the sight of patrolling and catching, and quietly entered Longxi Lane from the shadows.

There is only moonlight in the deep bluestone alley, except for the soft sound of the three strings in the middle, there is no other wind and grass.

The two walked side by side, their footsteps did not make any sound, and when they heard the familiar Liang Zhou tune, they confirmed the target, Shi Yanfeng picked up the copper rod and spliced it together slowly.

Clang~

At this time, the sound of the three strings in the depths of the alley was paused, causing the old alley to be completely quiet.

Shi Yanfeng knew that he had been discovered, and raised his hand to wave lightly.

Zheng Kun didn't hide his voice anymore, twisted his neck and made two soft 'clicks', his figure jumped up, and hid on the wall of the alleyway, paying attention to the surrounding movements.

Shi Yanfeng held the copper stick obliquely, cautiously came to the outside of the house wall, listened attentively to the wind and grass inside, and then stood at the door, pointing the tip of the stick to the wooden door.

Squeak~~

The wooden door slowly opened, revealing a plain courtyard and a chaise longue on the steps of the main house.

The white-haired Liu Qiansheng sat on the recliner, his arms and elbows supported his knees, bowed like a tiger, and his eyes looked indifferently at the door.

Looking at each other, there was a dead silence inside and outside the house.

Shi Yanfeng stood at the door and did not enter directly, after all, he was not sure how Liu Qiansheng's injuries were and whether he was restricted by the imperial court.

Shi Yanfeng walked step by step, holding the copper stick horizontally on his chest, and slowly stepped into the courtyard gate.

Liu Qiansheng didn't make any moves, but this move was not arrogant, but the court locked him to death, and he couldn't beat him if he moved, so he just maintained the momentum of the old Wu Kui, and said:

"Fu family's wind and wave stick, I haven't seen it for many years, where did you learn the stick technique?"

"Jian Yuhua of Yunshui Jiantan, returned to Liangzhou's hometown, my grandfather was the general of the Fu family, and he was martyred with the old general Fu. He taught me the true stick method. ”

Shi Yanfeng walked into the courtyard, his feet slid away, and the copper rod was held on his waist and pointed at Liu Qiansheng:

"You have lived from the past to the present, and you are enough, how good it is to die a painful death. When he was young, he didn't give the court half of his face, but when he was old, he took refuge in the court like a lost dog, wouldn't it be a joke. ”

Liu Qiansheng's eyes were flat: "Why do you talk so much nonsense." When he was young, the old man and General Fu also dealt with each other, and it was a pity that the wind and wave stick was lost in the rivers and lakes. Since you know, show it to the old man and learn a few times. ”

“……”

Shi Yanfeng carefully observed Liu Qiansheng's weather, and felt that the possibility of bluffing was much higher than that of being hidden, and he didn't say more, and kicked the ground with his toes.

Boom~

The yellow mud floor was suddenly shoveled out by the tip of the shoe and a hole was removed, and the dirt splashed out and splashed on Liu Qiansheng, who was sitting on the chaise longue.

Boom~

Liu Qiansheng didn't move at all because he got up and showed his stuffing, let the dirt sprinkle on his body, and then patted his sleeve robe lightly:

"If you want to force the old man to make the first move, it's not so easy to ......"

Zheng Kun hid on the wall, was stunned when he saw this scene, flew into the courtyard, and scolded angrily:

"When death is coming, what kind of big-tailed wolf are you pretending?"

As he spoke, he kicked the mud again.

Boom~

Boom~

“……”

Liu Qiansheng frowned, and after a moment of silence, he leaned back on the recliner and picked up the three strings leaning next to him:

"The old man was hit by the soul separation needle, and he has no combat power, but if you want to kill the old man, you still have to go through the door first. You are all from Liangzhou, the old man played "The Ballad of Liangzhou" for you to cheer up, and dying in this tune is also a good death for Liangzhou people - no matter what the ending is, at least I have lived for myself once, and I didn't be the long-term worker who was obedient......"

Zheng Kun saw this scene and felt that something was wrong.

Shi Yanfeng turned his gaze away and looked beyond the courtyard wall.

And a steady footstep also sounded from the alley at this time.

Step ~ Step ......

The sound came from far and near, like Yama opening his eyes and knocking on the door impermanently......
