Chapter 3: Hitting Manan Palace (5)

Zhu Wenyu saw that the girl didn't want to say more, so he didn't ask more, and only quietly looked at the dancing firelight, the girl didn't take off the veil from beginning to end, and the firelight was reflected on the veil, flashing a strange color. The sound of the wind, the fluttering of clothes, the subtle sound of trembling in the bushes, and the occasional crackling sound in the fire all blended together, and seemed to melt the woman's dark green figure into the melting night.

After a while, the girl spoke again: "Rest." After that, he didn't say anything more, stood up, walked to a big bluestone next to him, and lay on his back with his clothes.

Rao is Zhu Wenyu's casual temperament, at this time it is not good to laugh more, but also according to the words of the self-found a stone, two or three feet away from the girl, and lay down in the clothes, still in his heart to reminisce about the fight of the talent, carefully experienced, and benefited a lot from the other party's body tricks, and slowly fell asleep.

When Zhu Wenyu was awakened by the bird's song, the sky was already clear, Zhu Wenyu sat up, looked around, and saw that the girl was gone. With Zhu Wenyu's internal strength at this time, although he was asleep, and the wind was blowing in the valley, if he wanted to leave unconsciously, it could also be seen that the girl's light skills were extraordinary. It's just that he saw him in a hurry last night, and he said goodbye in the morning, which really made Zhu Wenyu a little strange, if it weren't for the pile of ash in front of him that had long been extinguished, he would almost suspect that last night was just a dream.

Zhu Wenyu turned over and walked around a few times, and suddenly saw that there seemed to be words written next to the ash heap, and hurriedly looked carefully, but it was the handwriting drawn on the ground with a tree branch: "I hope to take more care of the beggar gang, so that the small people will not damage the name of the beggar gang, and on the rivers and lakes, there is a fate to meet." History. "It was left by the girl surnamed Shi when she was leaving.

"Sure enough, it's a member of the beggar gang, no wonder it will descend the dragon eighteen palms." Zhu Wenyu smiled, raised his head and shouted: "Follow the girl's orders." This shout mobilized the internal force, the sound shook the mountains, echoed in bursts, and startled bursts of mountain birds to fly.

After all, Zhu Wenyu is only new to the rivers and lakes, although Nangong Lei has taught a lot of old things in the rivers and lakes, but he also does not understand that although the eighteen palms of the dragon descending are indeed the unique martial arts of the beggar gang, but it has always been only the leader of the gang, not everyone in the beggar gang can learn. It turned out that this girl surnamed Shi was the daughter of Shi Huolong, the former leader of the beggar gang "Golden and Silver Palm" Shi Huolong, Shi Huolong died in the palm of Cheng Kun, Shi Hongshi fled to Zhongnan Mountain with his mother, and got help, Shi Hongshi was pushed by the beggar gang as the leader, and later Cheng Kun was defeated by the "Golden Lion King" Xie Xun on the Shaolin Temple Shaolin Mountain Mountain, and the beggar gang also died a number of elders and good hands, after the incident, for the future of the beggar gang, after all, a ten-year-old girl can not be the leader, Shi Hongshi resigned from the position of the helper, let the leader of the stick, He returned to Zhongnan Mountain, followed Sister Yang's family to practice martial arts and live in seclusion, but the Yang family and the beggar gang had several generations of origin, and taught her the fragments of the eighteen palms of the dragon in Shi Hongshi's hands, and then passed on a lot of other martial arts, the jade girl swordsmanship is one of them, which made Shi Hongshi practice in the two sets of martial arts of the fierce and feminine, although they are only three or four points of cultivation, but after all, they are all rare exquisite martial arts, and it is not trivial to make it out, and it has entered the realm of first-class masters, and the light skills are even more unique, It is almost higher than all the sects in the world.

Shi Hongshi followed the Yang family to live in seclusion for twenty or thirty years, and in recent years, he has gone out of the mountains from time to time, firstly, because he had been the leader of the beggar gang, he did not want the old people to recognize, and secondly, his appearance was also quite ugly, so he has been covering his face with a scarf, not to show people, walking alone in the rivers and lakes, punishing the evildoers who do evil, if there are evil people in the beggar gang, they will be punished, and they will be regarded as cleaning the door for the beggar gang. The previous time in Yangzhou City, I wanted to teach Li Tiehu a lesson, but I happened to meet Li Tiehu who intended to rob Zhu Wenyu, but was defeated by Zhu Wenyu, and later moved out of my cousin "Meteor Tiger" Ye Fei, and was defeated by Zhu Wenyu, so he quietly tiptoed behind Zhu Wenyu, and happened to be in the barren mountains with the eighteen palms of the dragon and the jade girl swordsmanship and Zhu Wenyu's moves, so that he gained a lot in the way of martial arts, and it was also a return to Zhu Wenyu. Shi Hongshi has been in seclusion for a long time, his temperament has been extremely tranquil, he rarely talks on weekdays, and his purpose has been achieved, so he quietly left before dawn, leaving only a few lines to Zhu Wenyu, and he was really a little inexplicable.

Zhu Wenyu naturally didn't know a lot of the inside story, and he couldn't figure it out for a while, but last night's battle really benefited him a lot, and his comprehension of the way of martial arts was much deeper, so he was not in a hurry to hurry, taking the sky as the tent and the earth as the seat, just the mountain stream, and then eating some dry food and wild fruits, hiding in the mountains and repeatedly pondering and practicing for two days, and the dry food was about to be eaten, so he re-hit the horse and hurried north.

All the way to the north, after Gaoyou, Baoying, has arrived in Huaiyin in a day.

Huaiyin has been a county since the Qin Dynasty, which has lasted for more than 1,000 years, and is known as the "South Ship and North Horse" and "the thoroughfare of nine provinces". The twelve-year-old Ganluo of the Qin Dynasty, the Han Xin of the "Huaiyin Marquis" of the Han Dynasty, and the Sun Wu Ming of the Three Kingdoms were all born in Huaiyin, and Wen Tingyun also had a poem in the Tang Dynasty: "The rivers and seas meet and hate each other, the autumn wind leaves under the Dongting waves, the wine and the night do not leave Huaiyin City, and the moon shines on the high-rise buildings." "It is a famous town in Jiangsu.

Before he went to the official road, Zhu Wenyu felt that something was wrong, although the passers-by on the road couldn't say anything wrong, but the post horse officials who came and went had a white cloth tied to their heads. Zhu Wenyu knew that something big must have happened, and when he inquired, sure enough, it was the death of the current queen Ma Niangniang, and Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the whole country to be filial.

Zhu Wenyu was stunned for a while, this big-footed horse queen is Zhu Yuanzhang's wife, she has always been kind and sincere, and she is closer to Zhu Wenyu than Zhu Yuanzhang in the palace. Although it is a pair of heavenly feet, the queen is called "the queen of the big-footed horse", but it is knowledgeable and reasonable, always persuading Zhu Yuanzhang, quite respected by Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang over the years for some reason to depose the founding heroes, Huai'an Hou Hua Yunlong, Deqing Hou Liao Yongzhong and others were accused of violating the system to give death, the people in the court are unstable, but under the persuasion of Queen Ma, the heroes and generals because of her and save their lives countless, everyone is grateful for his grace, but the day is not a holiday, at the age of 51 unfortunately seriously ill and died.

Zhu Wenyu sighed deeply, and also found a piece of white linen cloth to wrap in his hair, even if he expressed a little sadness, his mood became very heavy, and he didn't want to look at the autumn scenery along the way, but he led the horse listlessly forward.

As he was walking, he suddenly heard screams from the crowd not far away, and then heard someone shouting: "Be careful, get out of the way!" The horse is frightened!"

Zhu Wenyu looked fixedly, sure enough, a horse pulled a car, and rushed along the official road quickly, a handlebar on the carriage pulled the reins, and he was trying his best to restrain the startled horse, but it was useless, the horse only cared about galloping forward, and the pedestrians in front of him avoided it, but the horse was running so wildly on the road, it was really dangerous, and the slightest carelessness would hurt pedestrians.

Zhu Wenyu didn't say a word, and shoved the reins in his hand into the hand of someone who didn't know who it was, and shouted, "Help take care of it!" The figure has jumped out in front of him, went straight to the startled horse, rushed to the galloping horse, let go, avoided the startled horse, flashed to the back of the car, grabbed the frame behind him, and sank down, and suddenly there was a thousand catties of strength under his feet, nailed to the ground, the front of the startled horse stood upright with his hooves, neighing, and the great momentum still dragged Zhu Wenyu and the carriage forward, and everyone was stunned.

"There are little dolls!" Suddenly, the crowd screamed. It turned out that when the pedestrians on the official road dodged one after another, a four- or five-year-old little doll two or three feet away was so frightened that he sat on the ground and cried, and there was a woman holding a child crying not far away, thinking that he was only holding the child in his arms to hide aside, but he didn't expect that the child who had been holding the placket and walking beside him would be so frightened that he didn't follow him to hide.

Just between the lightning and flint, a faint red shadow flashed in front of the horse, the child sitting in the road suddenly disappeared, and was already sitting beside the woman, and the startled horse ran three or four feet, suddenly bent its front hooves, knelt on the ground, and fell again, the whole horse fell to the ground, Zhu Wenyu sank on the plane, and a thousand catties fell, pulling the carriage stiffly.

All things happened in the blink of an eye, and when the crowd came to their senses, the horse was lying motionless on the ground, and the coachman was so frightened that he came to his senses in the middle of the hour, and got out of the carriage and hurried to see its owner. A man and a woman in the car were also so shocked that they couldn't speak, but a child's voice was crying at a loss.

The crowd sighed one after another, and the man in the car was stunned for a while, and he also got out of the car, it was an old man in his fifties, his thin face was shocked, a neat beard couldn't help trembling, holding his fists and couldn't help saluting, but he was trembling and couldn't speak for a while, which made Zhu Wenyu a little embarrassed, and only said: "Don't dare, don't dare, don't dare to do what you deserve, don't dare to be." Then he turned his head to look at the startled horse, but he saw that the horse was foaming at the mouth, and he was actually killed in the middle of the road, and the horse's head was slightly sunken, and a wisp of blood oozed from the two horses' eyes.

"Who is this master? Can you kill a horse with one palm? Zhu Wenyu was shocked, looked around, but saw that there was nothing special about the passers-by next to him.

"Thank you so much, thank you so much, thank you so much." The rescued old man finally spoke more smoothly, but he still rushed over and couldn't stop thanking him.

"Don't dare to be in the name of Engong, there are other masters who make the shot, and the kid really doesn't dare to be." Zhu Wenyu knew it in his heart and said busily.

"Engong said this, everyone saw that Engong's divine power pulled the startled horse and saved the old family, the old man Sun Changxu is really grateful and inexplicable, he will never dare to forget in this life, I don't know the name of Engong, and please tell Engong." The old man still couldn't help but give up.

Zhu Wenyu also knew that this matter must have been done by a martial arts master, and it was really difficult for these ordinary people to explain, so he had to admit it, and then be humble, and turn back to the merchant who led the horse for him.

The merchant was still standing in place, his face was obviously excited and excited and a little admiration, respectfully handed the reins back to him, Zhu Wenyu didn't dare to say more, led the horse and left, suddenly felt a little strange under his feet, looked down, the sole of the shoe had been worn out, revealing the gray cloth socks inside, thinking that it was dragged by the horse on the ground when he pulled the frame, although he had a lot of gold and silver in his coat, but he did not prepare a pair of cloth shoes, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

The old man saw it in his eyes, turned around and returned to the car, said a few words to the woman inside, and brought a pair of mille-feuille cloth shoes over: "Thank you for saving your life today, and please give your name and surname. Tired of Engong's shoes are damaged, this shoe is hand-sewn by the insider, I don't know if it is suitable for Engong's feet, if it is available, please do not shirk Engong. ”

"Don't dare, thank you sir." Zhu Wenyu heard that the old man seemed to be a well-educated person, so he called him Mr. More than ten years after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, most of the people like this kind of poetry and books were either officials in the dynasty or local wealthy gentry families, but for some reason only the four masters and servants were riding in a half-old carriage.

Although he felt a little strange in his heart, Zhu Wenyu was really not used to being called by others "Grace and Grace", not to mention that he still took the credit of others, and he was even more uncomfortable in his heart, and he couldn't wait to leave early, and then go to see what master he made a move, so he hugged his fists, although he was casual, but the old man in front of him was clearly a scholar, and he spoke a little crepe: "Don't dare, don't dare, students really don't dare to be, I just met an occasional helping hand, Mr. doesn't have to worry about it, the shoes students worship, the name and surname don't need to be said anymore, I really can't afford it." The word 'Engong'. The student said goodbye. After that, he bowed down and hurriedly put on the cloth shoes, which were just right, put them on and stepped on a few feet, smiled faintly at the old man, nodded, took the reins of the horse, turned over and hurried away, leaving the old man standing in place, and the crowd was still talking.

The horse ran forward two or three miles away, and the wrecked carriage could no longer be seen, so Zhu Wenyu got off the horse again, and continued to lead the horse forward, still watching the scenery at will, it seemed that nothing had happened, but the new linen shoes with a thousand layers of soles on his feet were firmly tied, and they were light and warm to wear, which was really comfortable.

was leading the horse forward slowly, and suddenly heard a lazy voice in his ears, clearly the voice of a half-old man: "The little rabbit is really a kind person, but he is not sensible, and he doesn't understand such a simple truth that wealth is not exposed. ”

Zhu Wenyu is at ease by nature, and he doesn't like the kind of talking with a straight face, but this kind of lazy and casual tone is very much to his appetite, and he can't help but look around to see who is talking. I saw that except for a few merchants who were hurrying away, there was only a beggar lying on the ground with his back to a beggar lying on the ground under the willow tree not far away, and no one seemed to speak. But the sound was clearly close to the ear.

"It seems that there is something wrong with this beggar, maybe he is from some kind of beggar gang." Zhu Wenyu didn't leave, staring at the back of the middle-aged beggar.

Sure enough, the beggar didn't look back, but he heard the same voice from there as just now: "The little rabbit himself has some ability, walking alone in the rivers and lakes with a sword on his back, don't you know that the rivers and lakes are sinister, people and snakes are mixed, wolves and tigers are in groups, where can the little rabbit stay?" It's better to go back early and stay in your own nest with peace of mind. ”

Zhu Wenyu naturally understood at this time that the beggar was indeed talking to him. And listening to this voice is like being in the ear, it is the kung fu of "thousands of miles of sound transmission", the martial arts are not weak, and it is not inferior to the first-level guards in the palace, but it seems to be a little worse than Nangong Lei, and he is about the same as the middle, if he uses the health trick to use the "thousands of miles of sound transmission" kung fu taught by Nangong Lei, maybe it is more soft and natural than this beggar's voice.
