Chapter 19: The Three Heroes of the Central Plains (Part II)

A year has passed quickly, and Huaishan has changed from an ignorant mountain boy to a man who stands up to the sky.

After more than a year of life in the market, his skin has darkened and his body has become stronger.

He practiced his sword alone in the courtyard at night. Start with the simplest stabs, points, and slashes, until a sword is unsheathed and wielded wantonly. Yuan Zhan said that often the simplest moves are the deadliest. And his father's "Huifeng Sword Chronicles" also wrote: Except for the showmanship, no tricks and no trials are deadly moves.

During the day, while working as a running hall in an inn, he inquired about Yuan Zhan's news.

However, there seems to be no person Yuan Zhan on the rivers and lakes, and no one has heard of the title of Yuan Zhan of the flying sword. How so?

It wasn't until later that he knew that it was impossible for him to see Yuan Zhan again.

The people of Nanyang City are simple on the surface, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. In fact, the dark tide was surging, and various local forces colluded with the government to rob those merchants who traveled from south to north. Over the past few years, these forces have developed into a special organization, known as the Nanyang Gang.

The Nanyang Gang has three halls. One is called Flying Eagle Hall. Dedicated to collecting all kinds of valuable information and attracting all kinds of people.

One is called Fuhutang. The people in the Fuhu Hall are all assassins and killers with special skills. A year ago, Li Kangnian, the richest man in Jiangnan, had a batch of gold silk yarn to be sent to Jingqing Palace. In just one night, all twelve Jianghu masters under Li Kangnian were killed, and all five boxes of gold silk yarn were lost. Fortunately, Prince Qing and Li Kangnian were old friends at that time, and they did not blame him. However, the arresters of the whole Nanyang City were mobilized to investigate the matter, and in the end, it was not resolved. No one knows why.

The last hall is the main hall, which is called Wolong Hall. Legend has it in Wolong Hall that there is only one person, who is the leader of the Nanyang Gang, who is in charge of all the power of life and death.

Who exactly is the leader of the Nanyang Gang? Who are the other two hall masters? No one knows where their base camp is located in Nanyang City.

They are like a group of ghosts, high above, and devouring the entire Nanyang City step by step.

Huaishan can inquire about these things precisely because of Li Kangnian.

It is really a coincidence that an inn runner can meet the richest man in Jiangnan.

The inn where Huaishan is located is actually not large, and it usually entertains some ordinary passers-by.

On this day, two different people came to the inn. One man and one woman. It's just that they dress more elegantly and behave more elegantly than other customers. What Huaishan cares about is not the woman who is stunning in the city, but the man. Because of that man, Yuan Zhan was mentioned in his mouth.

Later, Huaishan knew that Yuan Zhan was one of the twelve masters under Li Kangnian back then. And Yuan Zhan's father-killing enemy is the leader of the Nanyang Gang.

Yuan Zhan's father had dealings with Lijiabuzhuang in Jiangnan, and Li Kangnian naturally knew him. After Yuan Zhan came to Nanyang City a year ago, he got the news from nowhere that the Nanyang Gang would attack Li Kangnian's golden silk yarn, so he found Li Kangnian and told him. Li Kangnian gathered twelve kung fu masters, including Yuan Zhan, to prepare to deposit silk yarn overnight to go out of the city, but the people of the Nanyang Gang were already ambushed outside the city.

Then there was a bloody battle. Li Kangnian's four good men died in the chaotic arrows, and the other eight were all fighting to the death, and there were corpses on the ground. But there are too many people on the other side, and they can't win even with one enemy and ten. And the kung fu path of a man and a woman led by him was strange, and for a while, only he and Yuan Zhan were left on Li Kangnian's side. And there are more than twenty on the other side.

Later, Yuan Zhan suffered more than 70 sword wounds all over his body, 12 of which were fatal. When he died, he never refused to fall, and he used his life to win the respect of his enemies and save Li Kangnian.

Hearing this, the corners of Huaishan's eyes unconsciously became wet. He didn't see that when Li Kangnian said these words, he always looked at the woman beside him, intentionally or unintentionally. And the woman listened with relish and did not interrupt. After Li Kangnian finished speaking, she smiled and said: "Little brother, is the person who fought to the end your friend, this is a coincidence, he was killed by me, how do you want to punish me?"

Her eyes are beautiful, her nose is beautiful, and her mouth is beautiful.

There's no denying that it's a pretty face. It's a face that any man will like and not hate. She also speaks in a nice voice. But when she said that, Huai Shan didn't have the heart to think about it at all. He suppressed the fire in his heart and asked, "Who the hell are you?"

The woman said: "I am the hall master of the Nanyang Gang Flying Eagle Hall, remember my name, my name is Zheng Ke." ”

Huaishan's fists were clenched tightly, but he knew that he couldn't mess around. He looked at Li Kangnian and said slowly: "My brother is desperate to save you, there must be a reason for him." If Boss Li is threatened today, he must pass the pass of my Lu Huaishan first. ”

Without waiting for Li Kangnian to speak, the woman named Zheng Ke smiled, she stood up and said, "Just a few words from hearsay, you can sacrifice your life for a person, you are a good man." Today, I am not threatening Boss Li, but asking for him. If the young man is willing to help me, she will be offered on the head. ”

Huaishan felt strange when he heard these words. In this place of Nanyang City, there is nothing that the Nanyang Gang can't do. And what kind of thing is it that makes Zheng Ke, the master of the Flying Eagle Hall, willing to vouch for his head. It's not easy.

It turned out that the spies of the Flying Eagle Hall got the news a few days ago that Dai Lin, a traitor to the Medicine King Valley and a hundred herbs, appeared in Nanyang City. And Hu Yingying, the valley master of the Medicine King Valley, has already sacrificed the world's killing order, and those who kill Dai Lin can get ten Soul Returning Pills and three opportunities for unconditional healing.

People in the rivers and lakes live a life on the tip of a knife. These conditions in the Medicine King Valley are exactly what the people in the rivers and lakes dream of. Of course, the leader of the Nanyang Gang will not let go of such an opportunity.

It's just that even the leader of the Nanyang Gang, who has great powers, has some omissions. That is, he didn't know that Zheng Ke was bitten by a king cobra when he was young, and the local lang was helpless, and it happened that Dai Lin passed by her hometown when he was walking in the rivers and lakes and rescued her. Life is impermanent, and Zheng Ke himself may not have thought that he would become the master of the Flying Eagle Hall. Dai Lin may have forgotten about it a long time ago, but Zheng Ke has always been grateful. A few days ago, she found Dai Lin, explained the situation, and wanted to help him escape to the Shaolin Temple. But on the other hand, he was subject to the leader of the Nanyang Gang, so he had to come to Li Kangnian, and unfortunately met Huaishan, so he had today's scene.

Huaishan thought that this woman was affectionate and righteous, and it turned out that she was not heinous. But seeing Li Kangnian's embarrassed expression, after all, Huaishan also knew that if he agreed to Zheng Ke, it would mean that he would not only be hunted down by the Nanyang Gang, but also be the enemy of the Medicine King Valley and even the heroes of the world.

So Huaishan said, "Why should we believe you?"

Zheng Ke picked up a box placed beside him and said, "That's it!"

There's a human head in the box!

This person Huaishan didn't recognize it, but Li Kangnian did. That night, this person killed several of his masters with the power of one person, and he was the one who finally killed Yuan Zhan!

Zheng Ke said lightly, "This person's name is Dong Zhen, he was originally the hall master of Fuhu Hall, but now he is not. ”

Li Kangnian couldn't believe his eyes, "How is it possible, how did you kill him?"

Zheng Ke sneered, "Although this person's martial arts are higher than mine, he is too lustful, and he has coveted me for a long time, and it is only a matter of time before he is killed." ”

Huaishan looked at Zheng Ke, he knew that this woman was also a person with a story.

The trio finally came to an agreement.

Three days later, because of the mysterious disappearance of Dong Chen, the master of Fuhu Hall, Zheng Ke, the master of Feiying Hall, received a secret order from the leader of the Nanyang Gang to temporarily become the head of the second hall. On this day, almost all the elites of the Flying Eagle Hall and the Fuhu Hall went out to encircle and suppress the inn where Dai Lin appeared under the leadership of Zheng Ke. In fact, Zheng Ke had already sent his cronies to ambush in the inn. Then the encirclement turned into a massacre.

Although the members of the Fuhu Hall are all equipped with unique skills, the Flying Eagle Hall is obviously not a vegetarian. This time, Zheng Ke did a great job, she knew that if she turned back, there would be no turning back.

As a result, in the case of heavy losses to the elites of the Flying Eagle Hall, all the Fuhu Hall was destroyed.

On the other side, with the help of Li Kangnian, Huaishan met Dai Lin and persuaded him to leave Nanyang City quickly. But Dalin couldn't leave yet.

Because Dalin said, "My daughter is still in their hands. ”
