Chapter 15: The Murder of Duber
59
The next day, when everyone was having breakfast, one of Yin Jifu's subordinates came from outside and said something in Yin Jifu's ear.
Yin Jifu's face changed slightly, and he said to everyone:
"Everyone will go to the old man's room after dinner, and discuss something."
Seeing that there is a situation, how can everyone have the heart to eat slowly?
After eating hastily, they all went to Yin Jifu's room.
Yin Jifu waited for everyone to sit down, and said hurriedly:
The old man's men had already found out about the thief's whereabouts, and sure enough, he was going to secretly send the baby girl to Hojing. But what do you think? ”
Qin Yingjie said:
"Is the baby girl really with them?"
Yin Jifu said:
"Exactly. It's just that there is a section that I haven't understood yet, and they are also stationed at an inn not far in front, but they have no intention of entering Beijing immediately for the time being. ”
Qin Xiongjie to:
"Could it be that there is something unfinished or someone waiting for?"
Qin Shijie said:
"If you want me to see, what kind of bird it does, it's better to strike first, snatch the baby girl, who is impatient to entangle with him!"
Yin Jifu said:
"Third Brother Qin, don't worry, now is not the time to start, we have to see what other conspiracy they have."
Qin Yingjie said:
"This place is only more than 100 miles away from Hojing, and it will arrive in less than two hours, so you have to keep an eye on them, don't let them sneak into the city."
Yin Jifu nodded and said:
"Not bad. The old man has already sent more people to monitor them. As long as they have the slightest hint of wind and grass, we will know. ”
As he was talking, suddenly Xiao Er went upstairs and said:
"Someone downstairs is looking for a guest officer surnamed Long."
Everyone went downstairs and saw a strong man waiting downstairs.
When the man saw everyone going downstairs, he arched his hand to Longzixi and said:
"This little brother must be the dragon son Xilong Ye?"
Longzi West Road:
"It's down there. I don't know who you are driving and what is going on? ”
Hanzi said:
"The villain's name doesn't matter, it's just that he was entrusted to invite the young man to go."
Longzi West Road:
"But who is here?"
The human:
"Naturally, he is an old man that Shaoxia knows."
The man glanced at the others and continued:
"The villain can't name the man. Young heroes naturally recognize each other. ”
Long Zixi Yileng, the heart of the road, who will it be?
As he was groaning, Yin Jifu whispered:
"Do you want the Qin brothers to go with Shaoxia?"
Qin Shijie said in a low voice:
"Yes, simply, I'll go with my brother!"
The man, thinking that he had heard them, said:
"That old man only invites one young man, and I hope that all heroes will bear with me."
Longzi West Road:
"In this case, please lead the way, and go here."
Yin Jifu said:
"Virtuous nephew, be careful!"
Long Zixi nodded.
The man clasped his fist at everyone, said "farewell", and came to the door early.
Long Zixi went out of the door, got on his horse and followed the man.
60
The man did not speak, but went on his horse.
But he came straight to the back mountain, turned over the hillside, and saw the ancient temple of Gonggong early.
When he arrived at the temple, the man jumped off his horse and threw his hand into the temple:
"Young man, please."
Just listen to the humanity inside:
"Then invite the young man in."
The man pushed the temple door open, made a gesture of please, and Long Zixi stepped into the temple.
I saw one person standing with his back to the temple gate, and there were two people around him, but they were the four brothers of the Fang family.
Long Zixi was surprised to himself, but saw the man slowly turn around and said softly:
"Don't come unharmed?"
When Long Zixi saw it, he hugged his fists and said:
"It turned out to be Lord Du! The grass people have met Master Du, thank you for the last time.
"Today's appointment is here, isn't it coming for the promise of the past?"
Doberway:
"Exactly. We met here that day, and the old man admired Shaoxia and Chen Daxia very much.
Chen Daxia died generously, and the old man took his head and went back to pay for it.
Three days after Chen Daxia's head was displayed to the public, it was put away by the old man.
"Today is to return Chen Daxia's head to you, you can be buried with his body, and it is also your wish."
After speaking, the fourth brother nodded at the punch.
The fourth brother picked up a box from the table and handed it over.
Long Zixi took it, and saw that the box was wrapped in cloth, so he came to the table, put it down, and opened it, sure enough, it was Chen Du's head, exuding the smell of medicine, obviously in order to prevent decay.
Long Zixi rewrapped the box and said:
"Lord Du is true to his words, and he admires it very much! Thank you in advance. ”
Doberway:
"You're welcome. The old man was also moved by the pride of the young man and did his best. By the way, does Shaoxia have the whereabouts of Chen Du's orphan? ”
Longzi West Road:
"I'm ashamed to say that I haven't found out exactly where I am."
Duber sighed and said:
King Xuan ordered the old man to supervise this matter, but after the old man was unwilling to kill Zhongliang, he did not do his best.
However, as far as the old man knows, Na Qiu Shan contacted the martial arts people in the world to find the baby girl.
"Eighty percent of the baby girl has fallen into their hands."
When Long Zixi heard him mention Qiu Shan, he suddenly remembered something and asked:
"Master Du, do you know that Qiu Shan has a 'jade-faced hot hand' under him?"
Duber muttered:
"Jade-faced spicy hands? Well, the old man had heard of him, but he had never seen him. Their whereabouts are so mysterious that they are not known to ordinary people. What's the matter, he's out of the horse too? ”
Long Zixi nodded:
"Not bad. And, it was he who took his uncle's child away! ”
Duber's face was gloomy:
"So, things are getting a little tricky!"
Third Brother Fang suddenly remembered:
"Could it be that he is the masked boy who was in Camel Dongzhuang that day?"
Long Zixi nodded:
"The current situation suggests that it is him. By the way, there is a sentence below, I want to ask Third Brother Fang. ”
Fang Sange said:
"Is it because you don't understand what happened in Camel Dongzhuang that day?"
Longzi West Road:
"Exactly."
Duber answered:
"Third Brother Fang's participation in the martial arts conference is the old man's arrangement.
The old man thought that Third Brother Fang knew that there was a festival in this matter, and he knew the old man's attitude towards this matter, which would definitely help the young man.
"So, that day, he didn't reveal your truth."
The third brother of Longzi Xi Chong Fang hugged his fist and said:
"In this way, I have to thank Third Brother Fang."
After a while, Duber said:
"There is one more thing, which is very important, the old man wants to remind the young man."
Longzi West Road:
"How?"
Before Du Bo could answer, he suddenly heard a "whoosh" sound, and a hidden weapon flew straight towards Du Bo.
61
The incident started in a hurry, even though several people in the house were strong in martial arts, it was too late to rescue.
I saw Du Bo snort and fall to the ground on his back.
Big Brother Fang and Second Brother Fang rushed over to protect Du Bo, while Long Zixi and the other two brothers of the Fang family jumped out of the temple gate and window respectively.
I saw that the person who had led Long Zixi just now had fallen to the ground and died, and a figure flashed in the woods in front of him.
Long Zixi shouted loudly:
"Brother Fang protects Lord Du!"
Leap onto the horse and chase after the figure.
When he entered the woods, he was nowhere to be seen.
Long Zixi chased for another mile or two, but there was no trace, so he stopped his horse and looked around.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of horses' hooves, and several horses had already run to me.
At first glance, it was the three heroes of the Qin family.
Long Zixi was taken aback:
"Why are you here?"
Qin Yingjie said:
"It's Master Yin Zhuang who is afraid that the young man will lose, so he asked me to wait to come and answer. Master Yin will also arrive later. ”
Qin Shijie was a little impatient:
"Who the hell asked you out? Has it ever been bad for my brother? Why are you here alone? ”
Long Zixi didn't have time to answer, and heard the sound of horses' hooves, but Yin Jifu and a few of his subordinates hurriedly came.
When they met each other, they were all surprised.
Long Zixi simply told everyone what had just happened and asked:
"Do you see a man in black?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Yin Jifu said:
"Seeing that the opponent's martial arts are strong and easy to achieve, since he has made careful preparations in advance, there is no possibility of catching up easily.
"Let's see how Lord Du is doing."
The people hurried back to the temple.
I saw that the four brothers of the Fang family were surrounding Du Bo, shouting repeatedly:
"Lord Du! Lord Du! ”
When they approached, they saw that Nadhubi had a copper cone stuck in his throat, and black blood was bubbling from the wound, and it was evident that the cone was fed with poison.
When Duber saw the crowd coming, he raised his right hand with great difficulty and pointed ahead.
Yin Jifu squatted down, grabbed Du Bo's arm, and shouted:
"Lord Du! Lord Du! ”
Master Du's eyes were misty, and his lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to speak.
Yin Jifu pressed his ear to it and shouted:
"If there is anything unfinished about Lord Du, the old man must settle it for the adult!"
That Duber rattled in his throat, and made a "one, one" sound in his mouth, but he was already unable to speak, his head tilted, and he swallowed his breath.
The crowd was silent for a moment.
For a long time, Yin Jifu said:
"It seems that things are very complicated.
"For the sake of today's plan, I will ask the four brothers of the Fang family to send Master Du's body back, and I will discuss it later."
The four brothers of the Fang family lifted Du Bo's body and said goodbye to everyone with tears.
Seeing the Fang family brothers go away, Long Zixi was full of grief and indignation, and said:
"Just now, Lord Du said that he had something important to tell me, but he didn't expect to be poisoned before he said it. Seeing that it was the murderer, he was afraid of what Du Bo would expose. ”
Qin Yingjie said:
"This murderer has been behind the scenes, but he has a very good grasp of our situation, and it must be very bad for us."
Qin Xiongjie said:
"Could it be 'jade noodles and spicy hands' again?"
Qin Shijie said:
"If it's not him, who else can there be? This little thief is vicious! ”
Yin Jifu nodded:
"The old man seems to be eighty percent of him.
"This man is not only secretive, but also ruthless. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten the nickname of a hot guy!
"By the way, Lord Du seems to have told us who the murderer was before he died!"
Everyone was shocked and turned their eyes to Yin Jifu.
Yin Jifu said:
"What did you hear Master Du just now?"
Qin Shijie said:
"I listened carefully just now, and Master Du said the word 'one'."
Qin Xiongjie also said:
"Yes, he made the sound of 'one'.
"One, one...... what is 'one'?
"What the hell is he trying to say?"
Long Zixi thought about it, suddenly woke up, and said:
"Mo Fei, Mo Fei, Lord Du wants to say the word 'jade'?
"One? Jade? I think Master Du must want to tell us that the murderer is the 'jade-faced hot hand', but I can't say it completely! ”
Yin Jifu nodded:
"Yes, what the young man said is reasonable!"
Long Zixi was furious:
"'Jade Noodles Hot Hands'! If I, Long Zixi, let you go again, I will be in vain! ”
Yin Jifu said:
"Don't be bored. Now revenge is a small matter, but saving a baby is a big thing. A gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, that thief commits many injustices, sooner or later there will be retribution! ”
Long Zixi nodded, held back his grief and indignation, and said:
"Master Yin, Lord Du has sent his uncle's head, and the little nephew will go and bury it with his uncle's body first. This is a wish that the little nephew has never fulfilled. ”
Only then did the people realize that this was what he had in mind.
Yin Jifu said:
"Since it's Chen Daxia's business, let's go together. We have admired Chen Daxia for a long time, so we worshipped. ”
Long Zixi nodded and picked up the wooden box.
62
The group followed him to the hillside behind the ancient temple.
See a grave under a tree.
Long Zixi looked at it for a moment and said that it was here.
At that moment, the people took out their swords and dug up the grave.
Seeing that Chen Du's body was already rotten and indistinguishable, he thought that a generation of heroes was about to turn into white bones, and he was silent.
With tears in his eyes, Long Zixi endured his grief and carefully placed Chen Du's head on the position of his head.
The people helped to tidy up and refill the grave.
At that moment, everyone knelt down, made incense, and bowed a few times.
Long Zixi choked and said:
"Uncle, don't worry, now there is still a wish unfulfilled, and the little nephew will definitely find his sister!"
Yin Jifu also said:
"Chen Daxia rest in peace, the old man will help your nephew fulfill your wish!"
After the worship, Long Zixi wiped away the tears and said:
"Please go back to the seniors and the three brothers first, and the little nephew will accompany the uncle for a while."
When everyone saw that his expression was gloomy, they knew that he was uncomfortable, so they instructed him to "be careful" and said goodbye first.
After a while, Long Zixi knelt in front of the grave again and bowed a few more times.
Standing up and listening, and making sure that there was no one around, he dug up the grave again, untied his belt, wrapped it in a piece of linoleum, and gently lowered it into the grave. muttering:
"Uncle, my little nephew knows that you have been fond of martial arts all your life, so please keep this half of the sword book for the time being.
"If you can't find your sister, let this sword book accompany your brother-in-law for a long time.
"If you find your sister and the other half of the sword book, the little nephew will come and retrieve it, but at that time, it will disturb your soul again, uncle, don't blame!"
Then he filled in the grave again, bowed a few more times, and slowly stood up.
It turned out that the half of Long Zixi's sword book had been hidden in his belt and tied around his waist along with the belt that his uncle gave him before he died.
Now I only have my uncle's belt in my waist.
When I touched it, I felt that my uncle seemed to have never left him, and his heart was full of affection.
Suddenly, Long Zixi's heart moved:
Half of my sword is sewn into my belt, and my uncle's half is also in my belt?!
If this is not the case, why did my uncle give me the belt before he died, and told me to keep it?
I thought again, my aunt doesn't know martial arts, and the sword book must be kept by my uncle himself, so before my aunt was executed, how could my uncle have the opportunity to put the sword book in swaddling clothes?
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that I was too stupid, misled by others, and always thought that the sword book was with the baby girl, how did I think of this section!
At that moment, I didn't have time to regret it, and when I looked around and saw that there was nothing abnormal, I untied my belt and gently picked the stitches with my sword, and the half of the sword score was really hidden in the mezzanine!
Long Zixi was overjoyed and said softly:
"Uncle, I don't want to disturb you again!"
After confirming that it was the half of the sword book, he dug up the grave again, opened the oilcloth bag, put his uncle's belt in it, rewrapped it, and put it back in its place.
Subsequently, the grave was filled in again.
The two sword books turned out to be on me all along!
After ending this matter today, Long Zixi was in a good mood, ripped off the burden, tied it up as a belt, and walked down the ridge quickly.
When I came down to the ridge, I didn't walk more than a hundred steps, and suddenly I heard someone shouting behind me:
"Hey, wait!"
Long Zixi turned around.
When I saw someone coming, I couldn't help but be angry!
