Chapter 137: Songshan Deliberations Riots in the Eastern Capital
The knife in the wind swayed out of the mountain gate of the Shaolin Temple, with a grass stalk in his mouth and walked down the mountain, the grass and trees on the Song Mountain in November changed color and the petals withered, and the mountains and fields showed an abrupt earthy yellow, which seemed so desolate and lonely. Occasionally, a few birds skimmed through the trees on both sides of the steps, but their figures were so hasty.
The knife in the wind slowly climbed the stairs, thinking to himself Lord Yaksha, you must come, otherwise my face will be lost in the rivers and lakes in the future. Unconsciously, Fengli Dao came to the foot of the mountain, and roughly identified the direction where Chu Mofeng came, Fengli Dao found a big tree to sit down, and took a nap with his eyes slightly closed.
About half an hour later, there was a rapid and neat sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and the sleeping Fengli knife was instantly awakened, and a carp turned over and pulled out his weapon from behind.
Everyone in the Mobei area knows that the reason why the Fengli knife became famous is because his knife is fast, accurate and ruthless, and indestructible, but everyone knows that the knife in the hand of the Fengli knife was purchased from the Wa Kingdom in the east when he was young, and it was slightly shortened, making this knife more suitable for the Central Plains.
At that time, the forging knife craft of the Wa Kingdom was famous overseas, since the 20th year of the opening of the emperor, the envoys of the Wa Kingdom came to the Central Plains for the first time to meet Emperor Wen of Sui, and finally the Sui Dynasty sent envoys to the Sui Dynasty four times, which also greatly strengthened the cultural exchanges and dissemination between the two sides.
Since the beginning of the 20th year of the emperor's reign, there have been Japanese merchants who went to the Great Sui by boat to trade, and the wind knife at that time had not yet become famous, and the capital was still flourishing at that time.
Once, when the Kazuri Sword went with his family to visit relatives in Daxing City at that time, it happened that the Wa Kingdom sent an envoy to Sui for the first time, and there were merchants on the street who came with the ship to sell the goods of the Wa Kingdom, and in one of the stalls, a man dressed as a Japanese warrior was holding a dark and slender knife and was peddling it on the street.
In view of the fierce folk style in the northwest, there are not a few martial people, and suddenly everyone stopped to watch, and the wind knife is born to love knives, the first time I saw the long knife I liked it, and when I saw this, I hurriedly rushed into the crowd to watch.
I saw the samurai say in a stiff Chinese dialect: "Contemptible little island villager, I have long heard that there are many weapons in the Central Plains, and today I have brought a treasure sword, if anyone can cut off my treasure knife with his own weapon, then I will give this person a good treasure sword." ”
As soon as the words fell, everyone in the audience stepped forward to sign up, after all, it was people from foreign countries who came to challenge, and no one present wanted to fall into the name of the Central Plains. But who knew that five people went up one after another, and in the process of slashing with Kojima Murafu, their weapons were cut off by Kojima Murafu's knife one after another.
Looking at the treasure knife in the hand of the small island villager, there was not even a gap, and suddenly everyone on the field was silent, and the small island villager on the side laughed when he saw this, only to see him arrogantly said: "Isn't there a weapon in the Central Plains that can compete with my sword?"
Hearing Kojima's words, the eyes of everyone present were split, but the weapon in Kojima's hand was really weird, and no one dared to fight for a while, and Kojima Murafu laughed even more when he saw this scene.
At this moment, a deep voice came from the crowd and said: "Why don't you let me give it a try, everyone heard the words and looked at the source of the sound, only to see a burly man holding a halberd walking out of the crowd, and those who knew this person couldn't help but whisper: "It's General Shi Wanzai." When everyone heard that it was Shi Wansui, the invincible general of this dynasty, they applauded and applauded.
I saw Shi Wansui walk up to Kojima Murafu and say, "I heard that your knife is indestructible, so I'll try it with the halberd in my hand, I don't know if you dare to fight?"
When the villager saw that the other party was using a long weapon, he sneered in his heart, this person is really a reckless man, don't you know that the long weapon is the most vulnerable?
Thinking of this, the small island villager nodded, and made a gesture of invitation to Shi Wansui, and then the two stood in the center of the crowd, only to see the small island villager clenching the long knife in his hand with both hands, and the tip of the sword pointed outward at Shi Wansui and said: "Come on, let everyone see that our country's knife forging technology is the top." After saying that, he stood still and began to slowly accumulate energy.
On the other side, Shi Wansui suddenly turned the head of the gun, held the junction between the tip of the gun and the handle of the gun, and shook the entire handle back slightly, staring at the village of Kojima on the opposite side with his eyes.
Suddenly, the atmosphere on the field suddenly became solemn, and the onlookers prayed in their hearts, praying that after the two weapons intersected, the missing party would be the village of Kojima.
As if he couldn't stand such a solemn atmosphere, Kojima Muramura shouted, raised the knife above his head with both hands, and slashed it out in a semicircle on the top of his head, slashing out horizontally from right to left, while Shi Wansui, on the other side, shouted loudly when he saw this, grasped the connection between the tip of the gun and the handle of the gun, and threw the spear in his hand sideways from left to right.
The moment the weapons of the two sides intersected, only a deafening sound was heard, and the position of the two was caused by the violent impact of the force, and a gust of air flowed, and then a cloud of dust flew, and everyone present covered their ears and opened their eyes wide to know the result as soon as possible.
The moment the dust settled, there was already a sharp eye to find that the handle of the gun in Shi Wansui's hand was not damaged at all, and the long knife of Kojima Murafu had already been broken into two sections, and at this moment, Kojima Murato, who was standing in the center of the field, looked at Shi Wanzai with an incredible look, and only after a while did he spit out a sentence from the air: "Your Excellency can't help but have first-class martial arts, and your weapons are also extremely strong, Kojima loses, according to the agreement, Kojima will give you a new sword as a thank you." ”
I saw Shi Wansui wave his hand and said, "I don't want your new knife, you might as well give me this broken knife, isn't it Your Excellency's opinion?"
Kojima Murafu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but he didn't know Shi Wansui's intentions, so he lost to Shi Wansui, so he had to nod, handed the half-cut knife in his hand to Shi Wansui, and then left the scene in a gloomy manner.
Everyone present saw that Shi Wansui gave a bad breath for the Central Plains, and applauded Shi Wansui, and the Fengli knife in the crowd vowed to find a way to get one after seeing the power of the Wa Guo Knife.
Time passed, and when the wind knife grew up, the family was brutalized for resisting the Turks, and the wind knife gradually made some reputation in the rivers and lakes, but the wind knife always remembered the Japanese knife that he saw when he was young.
Later, due to some coincidences, Fengli Dao met a friend who was doing business between the Great Sui and the Wa Kingdom. Immediately, the Fengli knife entrusted this person to go to the Wa country to buy a custom Wa national knife with a lot of money, so far the reputation of the wind knife gradually spread in the Mobei area, and the people who fought with it were all defeated by the broken weapon.
At this time, Fengli Dao clenched the knife in his hand, looked forward with a solemn face, and saw a burst of smoke and dust billowing on the opposite side, as if a large group of people were coming, Fengli Dao thought to himself, could it be that Wang Renze and Wang Xingben led a large army to come? If so, then I have to hurry up the mountain to report the news.
Thinking of this, the knife in the wind hurriedly turned around and prepared to run towards the mountain, but he didn't run a few steps when he heard a familiar voice behind him say: "Ahead is the sword in the wind?"
Hearing this person's voice, Fengli Dao vaguely felt familiar, turned around and asked vigilantly: "It's Fengli Dao below, I don't know which friend is opposite, please report your name." ”
"Wind Hero, I haven't seen you for many days, and you can't even hear the voice below. As the smoke and dust drifted away, a group of seven people in front of him slowly rode over, and the first one looked at the wind knife and said with a smile: "Since I was invited by the wind hero, I will definitely come to the appointment." ”
At this time, Fengli Dao saw clearly that the seven people on the opposite side were wearing masks, and the person who spoke was Chu Mofeng, who he had been looking forward to for a long time, seeing this, Fengli Dao hurriedly put away his weapon and stepped forward quickly and said: "But I am looking forward to you, all the friends in the mountains and lakes are waiting for you, follow me up the mountain." ”
Chu Mofeng nodded when he heard this, signaled Shi Hanshuang and the others to turn over and dismount, and everyone led the horse to follow the wind knife step by step towards the Shaolin Temple located on the top of the mountain, and came to the mountain gate of the Shaolin Temple, only to see a monk step forward to stop everyone, put his hands together and said: "Amitabha, several donors, the Buddha Gate is a place of cultivation, and it is inconvenient to receive female guests." ”
I saw the wind knife step forward and said to the monk: "I don't know what this master is called, I was invited by Master Tanzong to come to Guibaosha to discuss things, and I hope to spread the word on my behalf, and I will say that the Yaksha has arrived." ”
When the monk heard the word 'Yaksha', he seemed to remember something, and hurriedly said to everyone with his hands folded: "Back to the donor, the little monk's name is Huiqing, since it is a distinguished visitor, please enter the temple quickly, Master Tanzong is waiting for you in the side hall." After speaking, he made a gesture of invitation to Chu Mofeng and the others.
Seeing this, everyone hurriedly returned the salute and followed the monk towards the temple. The moment he entered the temple gate, Chu Mofeng looked up at the three big characters of the vigorous and powerful Shaolin Temple above the door, and sighed sincerely: "It is said that the world's martial arts originate from Shaolin, and when I saw such a solemn place today, it is really a good place to practice martial arts in the Qing Dynasty." ”
Hui Qing, who was leading the way, said with a smile: "The difference between the donor's words, Shaolin Temple has only been a place for cultivation and study of Buddhism since ancient times, and the practice of martial arts is just to strengthen the body." ”
"Little monk, if someone else puts a knife on your neck, won't you resist?" Gu Zhen'er, who was walking behind, couldn't help but pout when she heard this, thinking that she was still in good health, when Wang Renze or something led troops to your Shaolin Temple, it is estimated that you would not say so.
"The difference between the benefactor's words, the Buddha said: The person who hurts you is the person who comes to save you, in the dark, the cycle of cause and effect, Amitabha. Hui Qing listened to Gu Zhen'er's words, but just smiled slightly and didn't care.
When everyone came to the door of the side hall, they saw Hui Qing saluting Chu Mofeng and the others and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, Master Tanzong is in the house, a few of them please take care of yourself, and the little monk will retire for the time being." After saying that, he turned around and hurriedly left the side hall.
Seeing this, Fengli Dao stretched out his hand to push the door open, only to see the previous Jianghu people in the house sitting in the house, and when he saw the door being pushed open, he looked towards the door in unison, and saw Fengli Dao leading seven people with masks and black clothes to walk in.
Those who knew the origin of these people couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat on their foreheads, thinking that the wind knife had really invited this group of killing gods, and it seemed that today's events were much more interesting;
Everyone who was thinking about it looked at Chu Mofeng and the others who walked in slowly and made no sound, and the scene was a little cold for a while, only to see Master Tanzong stand up and say to Chu Mofeng and the others: "Amitabha, I don't know if it is a distinguished guest, I miss the welcome, and I hope that a few people will forgive their sins." ”
Chu Mofeng knew that Tanzong had a lot of prestige in Shaolin Temple and even in the rivers and lakes, and he didn't dare to hold it up because he was a junior, so he hurriedly stepped forward and hugged his fist at Master Tanzong and said, "The master is polite, the kid is on the other side of the flower and Yasha leads all the members of the other side flower to greet the master." ”
As soon as the words fell, Shi Hanshuang and the others also stepped forward to salute Master Tanzong, and Tanzong said with a smile when he saw this: "Shaoxia is polite, please take a seat quickly." As he spoke, he made a gesture of invitation to Chu Mofeng and the others.
Seeing this, Chu Mofeng and the others said 'don't dare', and then found a row of seats and sat down, seeing that everyone had arrived, Tan Zong stood up and said to everyone: "Heroes, young heroes, Heroines, today we gathered in the Songshan Shaolin Temple, not to confirm martial arts, not to elect the leader of the alliance, but because of the ban on martial arts issued by Luoyang in recent days, Lao Wei knows that many of the donors present have suffered a catastrophe because of this, so I invite you here today to discuss how to deal with the current situation, and please speak freely. ”
As soon as Master Tanzong's voice fell, everyone present looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while, Chu Mofeng, who was sitting on the side, shook his head at Shi Hanshuang and the others, signaled a few people not to speak at will, and then carefully observed the people present.
At this time, Zhang Huang, who saw the iron gun gate, stood up, clasped his fists at everyone present and said: "Everyone, if you want me to say that we should gather everyone, find a way to infiltrate the eastern capital Luoyang, and find an opportunity to kill Wang Shichong, Wang Renze and Wang Xingben in one fell swoop, which can be regarded as avenging those who were killed." ”
As soon as Zhang Huang's words fell, he heard a man in the crowd snort coldly and said: "Zhang Gongzi's words are a little too hasty, not to mention the heavy guards in the palace, but those soldiers in Luoyang City are enough for us to deal with for a while, once they are surrounded, the end is a dead end, not only can they not take revenge at that time, but they also have to take their lives in vain, this move is not cost-effective, please forgive us for not blindly following the Silver Hook family." ”
And the Emei female disciple sitting at the head of the Tan Sect has been looking at a few people since Chu Mofeng and the others came in, and as soon as the voice of the people from the Silver Hook Family fell, the Emei female disciple got up and walked in front of Shi Hanshuang, and asked with a little surprise in her tone: "May I ask if Your Excellency is Shi Hanshuang?"
Shi Hanshuang, who was sipping tea, took off his mask when he heard this, looked at the female disciple of Emei and said, "Who is your master?
"Sure enough, it's Uncle Xiaoshi, Uncle Qiyu, and the family teacher is Mrs. Qingyan, I have been listening to the master talking about Uncle Shi, and today I finally saw you in real person. Hearing that the person in front of him was his little uncle, the Emei female disciple hurriedly said excitedly: "Uncle, I am Qingxin. ”
Shi Hanshuang nodded, motioned for Qingxin to sit down, and saw Qingxin say to Tanzong and everyone present: "Master Tanzong, heroes, Emei is subject to my uncle's opinion this time, and I hope you will forgive me." ”
At this time, Zhang Huang got up and said, "Since you are the latest to come to the other side, why don't you listen to your opinions first?"
Seeing that someone kicked the ball to the other side of the flower, everyone took out a look of watching the show and looked at Chu Mofeng and the others, Chu Mofeng knew that he couldn't hide from this, so he sighed helplessly and stood up and said: "Actually, the current situation is not without a solution, it depends on whether you are willing or not." ”
As soon as they heard Chu Mofeng say that there was a way, everyone said: "If there is a way, hurry up and say it, and only then will you know if it is feasible." And Tan Zong, who was sitting in the first seat, also said slowly to Chu Mofeng: "Since the Yaksha Young Man has a solution, you might as well say it, let's take a closer look." ”
Chu Mofeng nodded at Master Tanzong and said, "My suggestion is that you can move the remaining family members and disciples to the Chang'an area, after all, this time Datang is recruiting talents everywhere, even if you are not willing to serve the imperial court, Datang will not be difficult for you." ”
As soon as Chu Mofeng's voice fell, Zhang Huang first stood up and said, "How do you know that Datang will not be as difficult for us as Wang Shichong? What if we move to Chang'an and usher in another slaughter?"
"Of course, I can guarantee that I am the concubine of Princess Dingyang of the Tang Dynasty, and I can guarantee that you are safe and sound in Chang'an City on this basis. Finding that everyone didn't trust him, Chu Mofeng couldn't help but smile and clarify his identity.
As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere in the side hall suddenly changed, and I saw Zhang Huang pick up the spear next to him and point it at Chu Mofeng and said coldly: "It turns out that you are a member of the imperial court, and we don't talk to the eagle dogs of the imperial court." Immediately, many people present glared angrily at Chu Mofeng and the others.
Seeing this, Shi Hanshuang and the others also took out their weapons one after another, and faced everyone coldly, and for a while, the side hall suddenly became tense, and there was a situation where they wanted to face each other if they disagreed. Seeing this, Chu Mofeng hurriedly scolded Shi Hanshuang and the others: "Shuang'er put down his weapon, we are here to help, not to fight." Hearing this, Shi Hanshuang and the others hurriedly withdrew the weapons in their hands, but they still looked at everyone coldly through their masks.
At this moment, the man from the previous Silver Hook family stood up and pointed at Chu Mofeng and said, "May I ask Your Excellency Yaksha, are you the leader of the Tang Tiance Army?"
Hearing that someone recognized him, Chu Mofeng was not only a little surprised, but hurriedly nodded and said, "It's in Xia, I don't know how Your Excellency recognized Youxia?" I don't think we had anything to do with the Silver Hook Family before, right?"
Hearing this, the man smiled and said: "Chu Shaoxia misunderstood, because there are a few friends in the rivers and lakes below, and they have previously written that they have joined the Tiance Army in Chang'an, and they all say that their Shangguan Chu Mofeng is a heroic man who knows people and makes good use of his soldiers like sons, and this is true when I see it today." ”
"This is all the love of the brothers below, I am really ashamed. Chu Mofeng waved his hand and said with a smile, "Then I don't know what Your Excellency has to say about this proposal?"
"Don't dare to take the opinion, since you are Chu Shaoxia, then the remaining members of our Silver Hook Family are willing to follow you to Chang'an, after all, your name is the guarantee of credibility, we believe you. The man smiled sheepishly and said what he thought.
Qingxin on the side got up and said: "Everyone, Chu Shaoxia has a lot of connections with our Emei, although it is impossible for Wang Shichong to attack our Emei, but Chu Shaoxia's words Emei can vouch for him with credibility." ”
The woman at the Moon Gate sighed and said, "Anyway, our Moon Gate is a group of jugglers, since we can find a place to live in Chang'an, why not do it?" ”
As more and more people changed their views, the number of people present who were willing to go to Chang'an continued to increase, until finally Zhang Huang reluctantly put down the spear in his hand, clasped his fists at Chu Mofeng and said: "Chu Shaoxia, Fang is Zhang Mou's abruptness, and I hope you will forgive me." ”
Chu Mofeng stepped forward and shook Zhang Huang's hand and said: "Brother Zhang is polite, I can understand the mood of everyone present, after all, the sect has suffered from this great disaster, and no one will be in a good mood, so it can be seen that you are all people with true temperament, Chu admires." ”
At this time, Master Tanzong stood up and said slowly: "Chu Shaoxia, then all the heroes in the Luoyang area will entrust you." ”
"Master Tanzong, is there another sentence that I don't know if to say or not?" Chu Mofeng nodded, as if he wanted to say something.
"Shaoxia, but it doesn't hurt to say it. Hearing this, Master Tanzong motioned for Chu Mofeng to continue.
"Master, everyone in the world knows that the world's martial arts originate from Shaolin, which is an eternal truth for many years, and since Wang Shichong wants to implement the ban on martial arts, then he is bound to come back to harass Shaolin, if the Shaolin Temple is taken by Wang Shichong, then he has more capital to implement the ban on martial arts, so the following means that I hope that all the monks in the temple can go to Chang'an with us, I don't know what you want, master?" After getting the approval of Master Tanzong, Chu Mofeng hurriedly said what he thought in his heart, and then stared at Master Tanzong intently.
I saw Master Tanzong shook his head and said: "Please forgive Lao Wei for not accepting Chu Shaoxia's kindness, Shaoxia also said, the world's martial arts originate from Shaolin, even if Wang Shichong exterminated Shaolin, but as long as there are people in this Jianghu, then the spirit of Shaolin is there, we have to stick to it here, I think Wang Shichong will not dare to rashly go to Shaolin to stir up trouble." ”
Seeing that Master Tanzong insisted on this, Chu Mofeng didn't want to argue anymore, and then turned to everyone present and said, "Then before we leave, we should give Wang Shichong a big gift, so that he knows how wrong it is to provoke people in the rivers and lakes." ”
As soon as the words fell, everyone spoke one after another: "Everything is subject to Chu Shaoxia's arrangement." ”
Seeing this, Chu Mofeng nodded and said: "Then give priority to arranging for the old and young women and children to go to Chang'an first, Ruolan, Qinqing, Xiu'er, the three of you are responsible for this matter; ”
Immediately, each of the seven sects present elected a representative, and the rest of the people set off towards Chang'an with Xiao Ruolan, Chen Jingqing and Yu Wenxiu.
After the few people left behind went down the mountain to cover the safe evacuation of everyone, as Chu Mofeng was ready to go, he walked towards Luoyang City, and when he came to a place not far from Luoyang City, everyone dressed up in disguise and mixed into Luoyang City in batches.
According to Chu Mofeng's previous arrangement, everyone met at the Luoshui Inn in Luoyang City, and then Chu Mofeng opened a few guest rooms, and after everyone cleaned up, they gathered in Chu Mofeng and Shi Hanshuang's room, and listened to Chu Mofeng's assignment.
It was the light that had been lit in Chu Mofeng's room for a night, and it was not extinguished until the early morning of the next day. Beginning on the night of the second day, there were several assassinations in Luoyang City, first of all, a household member under Wang Shichong, Wailang, who was found hanging by his family in the early morning, in his study, and then Shang Shuyoucheng was found drowned in his own flower pond.
On the third day, the prison was robbed, and all the prisoners in the prison escaped; that night, the official Shangshu was killed in bed while a prostitute in the city; and his brother Wang Shishishi's son Wang Wang Wang was thrown on the street with his hands and feet broken, and when he was found, he only had one breath left to hang, so he was simply treated in time to save a small life, but since then he has also become a wasted person.
On the fourth day, Wang Shichong's two generals who had followed for a long time were killed on the street, and the murderer quickly fled and disappeared after a successful blow, so far the whole Luoyang City people were panicked, and all the officials under Wang Shichong's command hid at home and did not dare to go out, Wang Shichong, who learned the news, was angry, so he ordered Wang Renze and Wang Xingben to make a big call for the whole city, in order to be able to arrest the murderer.
As everyone knows, Wang Renze and Wang Xingben encountered an ambush on the way to pursue the murderer, and all the soldiers they carried were killed, while Wang Ren was seriously injured by a master, and it was thanks to Wang Xingben's desperate protection that the two escaped.
Just when Wang Shichong was furious, the perpetrators Chu Mofeng and others had already embarked on the road back to Chang'an......
There is a way to embark on the journey again after the New Year, and watch Li Shimin and Chu Mofeng brothers go to the battlefield again to make miraculous achievements, I want to know what will happen next, and listen to the next decomposition......
