Besides, the dust has settled on the mystery of the Jade Watermelon and the Stick King's Mansion, and some people feel unhappy. Who is not happy? Of course, it is Meng Desheng and Meng Pingnan of the Pingnan Chamber of Commerce. They came from the steppe, and the Great Khan wanted to dominate the world, and the establishment of this chamber of commerce was to fight the front, and he had to do everything possible to weaken the strength of the south. At this time, the two were in the secret room of the antique shop in Panyu, with sad faces.

"With so much force, I still missed. "Meng Desheng is very unwilling to the jade watermelon.

Meng Pingnan waved his hand and said, "That's not important, what matters is how to weaken the strength of the south." It's a great time to do it. ”

"Yes, I'm also anxious, the Jinghu branch has a beginning and no end to such a big thing, and I haven't done anything here. Meng Desheng sighed and sighed.

The so-called Jinghu branch is such a major event as the tragedy of the Stick King's Mansion. This matter has to be recounted.

However, it is said that the Great Song Dynasty is located in the south and wants to protect the country, but there is a lack of war horses, so the price of horses is extremely expensive. The government also has a horse market along the northern border, which is dedicated to tea and horses. However, there is always a big gap between the volume of trade and the actual demand. This gave Shanxi merchants the opportunity that tea was a good commodity and could be exported to the Western Regions and Tsarist Russia, and the price of horses in the Western Regions was not high. So the tea and horse business became big business. At first, Shanxi people only collected Jinghu tea, and gradually the business grew, and even the two Zhejiang and Lingnan tea were also shipped north. Those tea merchants formed a gang and organized a large amount of gold and silver to collect Lingnan tea. I was afraid that the road would not be smooth, so I discussed and discussed, and felt that the Pingnan Chamber of Commerce had a big family business, and no one dared to provoke it, so I entrusted the silver to the horse gang of the Jinghu Branch of the Pingnan Chamber of Commerce. The Jin merchants gathered 10,000 taels of silver and let them start from Fengling and send them to the Stick King's Mansion.

If a caravan or dart shop does not have more than ten years of hard work, how can it have an income of 10,000 taels of silver? The Jinghu Branch Horse Gang originally attached great importance to this transaction, but after learning about this business, they sent Meng Pingnan to Wuchang, where the branch was located. Meng Pingnan gave the Jinghu Branch two instructions: First, it must be a smooth dart, and the prestige of the Pingnan Chamber of Commerce must not fall. Second, they must get this gold and silver. So a vicious plan was conceived.

The Jinghu Horse Gang, headed by Chen Weiyue and Lei Yingtian, these two people are famous on Jinghu Road and are two good hands. A total of thirteen masters darts, with a few chariot riders, a few carriages through the state of Yuefu, from Fengling to Lingnan. After the darts, they secretly sprinkled intestines and bone erosion in the well of the Qiu family, and after two days, the Qiu Mansion was soft and weak. Qiu Kai felt that he had fallen into the tricks of others, and at this time, there was no one in the whole mansion who could block a blow, and an accident might happen, so he urgently asked for help from Feilai Gorge, the master of Feilai Temple. But it was said that Mu Lan was running errands in Feilai Gorge, and she had a relationship with Feilai Temple when she was the master of the Golden Needle Hall in Snow Mountain, and Master Lingzhi asked her to take care of her.

The people of the Pingnan Chamber of Commerce had already passed Jiuzhi Mountain, and they had gone far. Lei Yingtian and Chen Weiyue calculated that the Gu Erosion Powder in the well of Qiu Mansion should have a medicinal effect, so they arranged for the chariot and horse drivers to eat, drink and drink freely in Yongzhou City under the banner of the Jinghu Branch, so that everyone in the world would know that they were in Yongzhou at this time. The two of them suddenly returned south to the Stick King's Mansion with a group of masters. Arrived at Qiu's house, it was the fifth night after the dart, Mu Lan had not yet arrived, Qiu Kai and his people were enduring the torture of piercing the intestines and bones, a hero, almost no power to fight back, more than 80 people old and young, all died tragically under the sword.

But there was a teenage girl, hiding in the firewood and grass, and was discovered by a good hand named Zhan Honglie in the horse gang, he was about to follow the instructions to kill this little life, the girl's trembling appearance and those tearful eyes made him unable to do anything, but grabbed a few handfuls of firewood and grass to cover her tightly.

Lei Yingtian searched for it, thinking that they had killed all the people, but they left the girl with a glimmer of life. However, the batch of gold and silver of Shanxi merchants was nowhere to be found, and the Pingnan Chamber of Commerce exhausted its calculations, but committed this heinous crime without getting actual benefits, so he had to go away in a huff. also because of Zhan Honglie's benevolence, and later the Qiu family's orphans took revenge, and twelve of the thirteen people in this line died, and Zhan Honglie alone was safe and sound.

When Mu Lan arrived, Lei Yingtian and the others had gone far away, and the girl was standing alone in a pool of blood and weeping, the world was vast, and she didn't know where to live. Mu Lan inspected the scene and realized that it was through the intestines and bones that destroyed the Stick King's Mansion, although she didn't know who did it for a while, a wave of anger also rose to the sky, wanting to avenge the Qiu family.

She helped the girl wipe away her tears and said kindly, "Tell Auntie, what's your name?" The girl choked up and said, "My name is Lan Lan." "Lan Lan, hearing this name, Mu Lan suddenly felt kind, when she was a child, her parents also called her Lan Lan. Mu Lan asked again: "Do you remember the appearance of those murderers?" Qiu Lanlan nodded, it was an unforgettable scene, how could she not remember? Mu Lan leaned over and hugged Qiu Lanlan, and still said kindly: "Aunt will take you to a place, teach you to practice successful husbandry, and find those people to take revenge in the future, okay?" Qiu Lanlan nodded obediently, Mu Lan didn't care about the corpses all over the scene, and took Qiu Lanlan and went to Peach Blossom Valley.

Meng Pingnan had two vague points, he didn't know where the gold and silver were hidden, and he didn't know that the Qiu family still had a living mouth. What he was thinking about now was how to provoke thousands of martial arts masters to gather in Lingnan and Jinghu to fight each other in order to reduce the power of the southern martial arts. He pondered for a long time, and then suddenly asked, "Didn't your Lingnan branch get a treasure map?"

"It's a one, I don't know if it's true or not, and it's being checked. Meng Victorious replied nonchalantly. They were given a treasure map of the so-called Ecstasy Fairy, but they couldn't identify the authenticity and couldn't find out who the Ecstasy Fairy was.

"As long as there is. Meng Pingnan said, "What is the situation now?"

Meng Desheng said: "According to the picture, the treasure is in Xiling Gorge. However, our people searched in Xiling Gorge to no avail, but found a cave in Huangniu Mountain in Yizhou called the Ecstasy Blessed Land. ”

This is a treasure map of unknown origin, saying that it hides the secret book of the exercises of the Ecstasy Fairy, but who is the Ecstasy Fairy? What great exercises does she have? It seems that no one knows. Since the rivers and lakes are nameless, most of them will not have anything useful. However, the Pingnan Chamber of Commerce still organized a serious search, and the interrogation could find something useful.

Meng Pingnan pondered for a while, and instructed Meng Desheng: "First, we must continue to investigate, and we must also make another map, pointing to Huangniu Mountain, and let the martial arts fight." ”

In accordance with Meng Pingnan's intentions, the Lingnan Branch of the Pingnan Chamber of Commerce forged hundreds of new drawings overnight, made of one-color sheepskin, and dyed with needle and ink. After getting ready, I brewed a pot of strong Tieguanyin tea, smeared it with tea over and over again to dry, and then matched it after drying. By the next morning, the fake drawings were finished, and they looked very old, without any traces of new production. The map is divided into three links, disconnected from each other, the first stop points to Tanzhou, and it is necessary to find the next search target in Tanzhou. On the one hand, the Lingnan branch sent people to prepare in Tanzhou, and on the other hand, it informed the Jinghu branch to make corresponding preparations. The fake treasure map was first distributed among the gangsters, so why not distribute it to the masters? Because the masters have their own unique knowledge, and they may not be able to see anything like the ecstasy fairy. And when things are in the hands of the end of the martial arts, those who are low in the art industry want to get the cheats even more, and they will compete to find them, and they will inevitably drive the masters to go. Then take the opportunity to create some chaos, let them form some grudges, and in the future, they will be able to get into trouble.

The Pingnan Chamber of Commerce did more than that, they organized people to compile a so-called "Ecstasy Dafa", ready to give people a little bit of the last battle for the beak.

Rumors of the discovery of a treasure map in Lingnan suddenly spread all over the rivers and lakes. Those small martial arts halls, the last characters of the small meeting Daomen, many people have obtained treasure maps. I didn't know that this thing was a big road goods, and the people who got the pictures thought that they only had the pictures in their hands, and they began to look for them according to the pictures. There is no clear indication of the map, only some mountains, rivers and pavilions are drawn, and it is not clear to see, but there are a few lines of words that are very clear, and the people who get the treasure map study those lines.

The lines say:

The clouds are self-conscious,

The slightest dust is irrelevant.

Parking sits in love with the maple forest night,

Temporarily borrow the South Pavilion to look at the mountain.

What does this mean? Could it be that there is a hidden treasure in this word? The martial arts people pondered with great difficulty. Some people know that this is a poem of the predecessors, one is the Tang Dynasty Du Mu, two are the Tang people's folded lives, and one is the land tour of the current dynasty. What do these lines mean when they are put together? Some people think that the treasure map may be fake, but many more think that these lines must have something to do. There are also people who analyze the Tao and say that "the clouds have no heart and water are idle, and the slightest dust is irrelevant" must be that the ecstasy fairy is a master of the world, and he has not been involved in the rights and wrongs of the rivers and lakes. What does it mean to "stop and sit in love with the maple forest at night, and temporarily borrow the Nanting Pavilion to look at the mountain"? A well-informed person has also given a very good explanation, saying that there is a small barren mountain named Qingfengling on the south side of Yuelu Mountain in Tanzhou, and there is a pavilion on the ridge facing Yuelu Mountain, the famous mountain pavilion, and the ecstasy fairy once lived in Qingfengling for a period of time.

The commotion of the last martial arts scholars has driven the entire rivers and lakes, and those masters are not far behind. It is the children of the Nangong family, who are in Jiahe at this time, and they are also moving. Others are nothing, but they are cheaper Nangong Yunlong and Nangong Yunteng. The two brothers invited Ouyang Harrier to Feiyun Castle to invite them to go to Feiyun Castle, and they happened to go treasure hunting together, and they could also have a full meal all the way. Ma Yucheng and Yuan Yunni originally planned to return to Taihu Lake, but they were also attracted at this time, and they went all the way with the Nangong brothers. So six with murder weapons, plus three with corsets, went on the road lively.

Sima Xiangyun and Yuan Yunni accompanied Ouyang Harrier, three women in a play, chattering, giggling, very lively all the way. Yun Long and Yun Teng were afraid of missing the opportunity, so they stuck in the pile of women, and continued to be courteous to Ouyang Harrier all the way. The four brothers of Nangong Yunfei followed behind, and there was still some distance. On the contrary, Ma Yucheng finally had a grudge because of the grievances he had made a few days ago, and followed him reluctantly.

The Pingnan Chamber of Commerce forged the "Ecstasy Dafa" and selected a congregation with light merit to be sent to the Ecstasy Blessed Land of Huangniu Mountain to hide. Walking to the foot of Heng Mountain, it happened to cross with Nangong Yunfei and them. Ma Yucheng saw that this person was suspicious and suspicious, so he had an extra eye and paid attention to his movements. Seeing that he didn't take the big road, he stabbed into the path and wanted to beckon Nangong Yunfei to follow, but he was afraid of alarming the kid, so he followed alone. Nangong Yunfei saw that Ma Yucheng didn't follow, but he said that he walked slowly, and he didn't care, and the group arrived in Tanzhou while talking.

There were thousands of more high-rollers in Pingkong, and Tanzhou City suddenly became lively. This place has been regarded as a wild place by successive dynasties, and it has been a place of exile for emigrants and degraded officials. However, after Gaozong crossed to the south, it became an important western town of the Great Song Dynasty because of the connection between Lingnan and Bashu, and commerce and culture began to prosper.

They chose a larger inn to settle down, waited left and right, and couldn't wait for Ma Yucheng, so they just said that he had something to delay on the road, so they ordered a few dishes in the inn hall, and everyone waited while eating.

There are not many people in the rivers and lakes who usually come and go in this Tanzhou city, and there are three Hunan boats to help Tanzhou rudder set up on the edge of the Hunan water. The helmsman Wang Xiaoxi, will get a few Wu family fists, and he has never met an opponent in Tanzhou, and he is used to yelling five and six times. On this day, they happened to have a banquet in a private room of this inn, Hu Decai, the helmsman of Huashishu, and they didn't recognize Nangong Yunfei and his party. That Wang Xiaoxi occasionally probed to beckon Xiao Er to add wine, and when he saw Ouyang Harrier's amazing beauty, he had a bad heart and instructed a gang to threaten him.

The gang came to the hall with a high spirit, pointed at Ouyang Harrier and shouted: "Hey, that girl, our Wang Helmsman invites you to drink." ”

Nangong Yunlong knew that this guy was not a good thing as soon as he saw this guy, and he was ready to attack as soon as he grabbed the handle of the gun, but he was stopped by Ouyang Harrier. I saw her smile in the city, and the guests in the hall were almost drunk. She stood up, Ying Ying was blessed, and said like a swallow, "Who is your king and helmsman? ”

The gang didn't know that Ouyang Harrier was joking, and they thought they had a plan, and said with a smile: "It's okay, once you are born and twice cooked, you will know each other after drinking." ”

Ouyang Harrier walked up to the gang and said, "Where is your king's helm?"

The gang gladly led the way, saying, "Come with me." Then he walked to the private room. The diners in the hall were all worried about Ouyang Harrier, and some people shook their heads and sighed, saying, "It's a pity for this girl." The Nangong brothers knew that there was a good show, and Yuan Yunni was also interested, shouting: "We will also go to help the fun." Pull up Sima Xiangyun and rush up. When the gang looked at Yuan Yunni and Sima Xiangyun, their appearance was also very standard, and they liked it very much, so they waved their hands and said, "Then let's come together." Some of the diners had lowered their heads, as if they couldn't bear to look at these unlucky women, and some secretly blamed Yuan Yunni for not knowing whether to live or die.
