Chapter Thirty-Eight: A Reed Sword and a Sea of Blood and Hatred

Just after the second watch, "Big Fat Dun" Li Bo diligently brought a big bowl of steaming white fungus soup......

Yutai Hongmou didn't even raise his head, and said lightly: "I have no appetite tonight, this soup is rewarding you!"

Fat Bo said in a trembling voice: "Yes! Thank you...... Then I'...... Bring it to the kitchen and eat it?"

"Eat right here! I love watching you eat!" said Hiromou Tandai without a beak.

"That ......" Fatty Bo was so anxious that he even changed the tone of his speech, and said incoherently: "I ......"

"Eat—go down!" Yutai Hongmou glared angrily and shouted rudely—— at this moment, his heart was already like a mirror: a spy, a hateful spy!

It turned out that when they broke up at the fork in the mountain road, what Li Shuzhou secretly handed him was a warning message that "Li's uncle and nephew are Baiqiang's spies"!

As a result, the so-called "Huaiyang Cuisine Famous Chef" Li Bo and the "personal servant" Li An, who was very careful, were arrested together, and they paid the due price for their shameful behavior!

......

So, where is Li Shuzhou going all the way to the east? No one can imagine that the destination of his trip is actually Xiazhou!

Xiazhou is located in the Hetao area, which is rich in water and grass, and has been entrenched by the Baiqiang people for more than 100 years. In order to entrap the unruly Baiqiang people, the court of Middle-earth has always adopted the practice of pushing boats along the river - nominally appointing the leader of the Baiqiang people as the local military and political governor.

Now serving as the envoy of Xiazhou is Helianchang of Baiqiang.

Helian Chang, who inherited the "foundation" of his father's generation, has long cherished different aspirations, and under his vigorous instigation over the years, with Xiazhou as the mainstay, together with the surrounding Yinzhou and Yanzhou, a total of three states, it seems to be an independent kingdom! Now the three states of Hetao have clearly shown a situation of separating one side!

With Li Shuzhou's identity at this time, he secretly rushed to Xiazhou City alone -- such a move would definitely not be accidental! Could it be that there would be any article hidden here? To solve this mystery, we have to start with a tragic incident that occurred more than 20 years ago......

This Li Shuzhou, who has the titles of "chivalrous man" and "martial arts master", was formerly known as Fang Yizhou, and his ancestral home is Jiangning Mansion.

Fang Yizhou's father, Fang Qingxuan, apprenticed to the Cangwu Sword School in Cangwu Mountain, Yongzhou, and after learning to become a teacher, he chose to return to his hometown and opened a dart game in Gusu City.

Because Fang Qingxuan was born in a famous and decent family in the martial arts, he is chivalrous and heroic, so his business has been very prosperous. Later, because of the competition for customers in business, there was often friction between the Fang Family Dart Bureau and Wugoumen, a Jianghu sect in Gusu City...... Fang and Wu have been fighting for a long time, so they have gradually become incompatible enemies!

Wu Goomen was originally a gang of gangsters formed by the entanglement of local ruffians and hooligans, how could they swallow this evil breath? Sure enough, not long after, Wu Dong, the head of Wu Goomen, colluded with the government and extremely viciously fabricated the trumped-up accusation that the Fang family was secretly in contact with the state and betrayed the country to seek glory.

Wu Tianfeng, who was the governor of Suzhou at the time, quickly ordered: Arrest the people of the Fang family! Wu Goumen, who had been prepared for a long time, worked very hard to cooperate with the official messenger to take action. Then, under the pretext that the other party was armed and resisted arrest, the villains slaughtered the Fang family in one fell swoop......

At that time, Fang Yizhou was still very young, but fortunately, his family hid him in the hidden grid of the wall in advance, and he escaped this catastrophe! However, the young Fang Yizhou saw through the peephole of the dark grid and witnessed the tragic death of all his closest family members - the seeds of bitter hatred were deeply planted in his heart from then on!

Under the protection of his father's master, the Cangwu Sword Sect, Fang Yizhou gradually grew up on Cangwu Mountain...... However, due to his narrow-minded and stubborn personality since childhood, all the elders in the sect were reluctant to teach him sincerely.

Fang Yizhou saw that it was not interesting to continue to stay in Cangwu Mountain, so he gradually had the idea of wandering the rivers and lakes outside. One day, he saw an opportunity -- he didn't say goodbye and sneaked down the mountain! After that, Fang Yizhou, who had changed his disguise and changed his name, was "Li Shuzhou", and since then he has been mixed in the vast rivers and lakes......

Later, out of admiration for Shaolin Kung Fu, Li Shuzhou inquired all the way and came to Shaolin Temple alone, becoming a lay disciple of Songshan Annex. At that time, Li Shuzhou was down-to-earth and low-key, cautious and diligent, which made all the senior monks in the temple have a good impression of him.

However, these are only superficial phenomena. In secret, the lay disciple Li Shuzhou often peeped at others learning arts, and once took the opportunity to help sort out the atlas to secretly copy the secret of "Mighty Vajra Finger" in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion!

Because Li Shuzhou has a high understanding of martial arts, and he can concentrate on hard training - that whole ten years of monk career has indeed made his kung fu very good!

In those 10 years, after hard work day and night, Li Shuzhou finally cultivated a remarkable Shaolin school martial arts! In addition, he also secretly learned the "Dharma Sword" and "Mighty Vajra Finger" among the 72 peerless schools of the Shaolin Temple, thus becoming a veritable kung fu master.

As soon as the cultivation period expired, Li Shuzhou reluctantly left the Shaolin Temple in Songshan and began to venture into the world alone...... Within a few years, he was in the domestic martial arts - mixed up with the resounding name of "One Reed Sword"!

So, Li Shuzhou, who has grown into a top master of martial arts, what will he want to do next?

Who was the real mastermind behind the sudden bloody storm in Gusu City more than 20 years ago? Shouldn't someone come to justice for the dozens of fresh lives of the men, women, and children of the Lao Fang family?
