On the seventh day of the lunar month, the Teng tribe in Xiangxi, on the shore of Baicui Lake.

At noon, Teng Sanshi, who was full of wine and food, sat by the lake and fished, and more than ten Teng disciples with swords and swords stood in a fan-shaped shape thirty meters away. One by one, they held their heads high, their eyes were like torches, and they silently guarded the thoughtfulness of Teng Sanshi.

Not far from Tengsanshi, it is a well-repaired tomb. Originally, there were two tombs on the shore of Baicui Lake. However, when Teng Sanshi learned that Xiao Zhirou was his baby daughter "Teng Rou", he immediately sent someone to tear down her "clothed mound" and raze it.

Therefore, there is only a lonely grave of "Mrs. Teng" on the shore of Baicui Lake today.

"Bobobo......"

"Poof!"

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a ripple appeared on the smooth surface of the mirror-like lake, and at the same time, the fishing rod was pressed down, and Teng Sanshi's eyes changed when he was deep in thought.

With a light lift of the wrist and a wave of the arm, the long fishing line hooked a lively osmanthus fish out of the water, and a sparkling wave crossed in the air, and was finally firmly grasped by Teng Sanshi in his hand.

"One more!"

Teng Sanshi took off the hook with great interest and muttered to himself in satisfaction.

However, when he threw the violently fluttering osmanthus into the fish basket, his eyes subconsciously looked towards the grave of his wife.

Suddenly, a pair of old eyes full of interest froze slightly, and the joy on his face gradually dissipated, replaced by an indescribable loss and longing.

"Madam, you loved to eat the 'pickled fresh cinnamon fish' I made the most when you were alive. Unfortunately, I was young and irritable at that time, and I couldn't always concentrate on fishing. I remember that at that time, you and Rou'er used to babble in my ear, and even coaxed me to catch fresh cinnamon fish for you. You lied to Rou'er and said, 'Only the osmanthus caught by Daddy himself is the best osmanthus fish in the world'. For this reason, Rou'er often holds my legs and keeps coquettish, making it difficult for me to move an inch. I have no choice but to accompany you here to fish...... At that time, I thought that you were the naïve ones, but when you are gone...... I just found out the really ridiculous people...... It's me. Actually, I don't know what you two really think. You don't like boring fishing, but ...... The family is relaxed and comfortable to talk and laugh together. However, every time, I take advantage of the fact that you two are not paying attention, and secretly hide the dead fish prepared in advance in the fish basket to fill up the number. I often do things hastily, and I spend the longest time fishing with you...... It's only half an hour......"

As for this, the corners of Teng Sanshi's eyes became a little moist, and he blamed himself: "Madam, I didn't cherish the days with you at the beginning...... Now, I want to spend the rest of my life in exchange for half an hour of reunion with you two mothers...... No, even if it's a reunion of incense sticks and a cup of tea, I can't ask for it. Madame, I have been fishing for this fresh cinnamon fish for twenty years. Now that the fish has been caught, you ...... But it's gone......"

With an endless melancholy sigh, Teng Sanshi wiped his sleeves and laughed at himself: "It's really old......! Will laugh at my sentimentality. Hehe......"

Before he finished speaking, Teng Sanshi threw the bait into the lake again, took a deep breath, and continued: "Fortunately, God took pity on me, and did not let you all leave me, nor did he make me a complete loner. Now, not only is our daughter back, but also a pair of children who are our own grandchildren...... The old man is happy! He is really happy! Just like ...... I was just as happy as you two laughing and playing here. Madame, believe that you have a spirit in heaven...... I must be as happy as I am. Although our grandson is in some trouble at the moment, the old man assures you...... As long as I am here, no one in the world will dare to bully him. I've seen a lot of 'old friends' and heard some strange things. Qingfeng father and daughter are as cunning as snakes and vicious as scorpions, they want my grandson to be a substitute for the dead, it is a fool's dream, I will definitely do everything possible to tear down their hypocritical masks and reveal the truth about Luo Tianjin's murder to the world......"

At the mention of Luo Tianjin, Teng Sanshi's eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of vague entanglement, and he muttered: "Luo Tianjin is certainly despicable and shameless, but he finally did the next good thing before he died, to help Rou'er and Ruthless Gu get rid of the stigma of the devil of the rivers and lakes and the martial arts cult, so that she can be an upright person in the future." Thinking about it this way, Luo Tianjin has already suffered the consequences of his own evil, and he can be regarded as a well-deserved death. Now, Rou'er has found her children, and the old man is very pleased. Madam, you can wait for me for a few more days, and when I solve all the troubles of Rou'er, Xunyi, and Ping'er, I will go to Jiuquan to reunite with you immediately. When the time comes, I will be patient and accompany you to do whatever you want......"

"Patriarch!"

Just when Teng Sanshi was feeling a thousand sorrows and thoughts, an old voice suddenly sounded from afar.

Teng Cang, who had gray hair, tiptoed forward, first glanced at the fish basket, then looked carefully at Teng Sanshi, and sneered in a low voice: "It seems that the patriarch has gained a lot today." ”

"What's the matter?" Teng Sanshi frowned, and said without looking back, "The old man fishing has always been the bait, you don't have to boo, there is something but it doesn't hurt to say." ”

"Yes. Teng Cang smiled, but his voice was still low, "Not long ago, the patriarch ordered me to secretly investigate the matter, and now I have received the news. ”

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Teng Sanshi's pair of tiger eyes suddenly flashed a terrifying light, and he said in a condensed voice: "What is the result?"

"Actually, Longxiang Mountain's life in Yunnan is not easy, and even ...... It can be described as 'living in secret'. Teng Cang replied respectfully, "As a last resort, Yun Chaiyue can only take Si Wudao, Tang Xuan, Shao Yuanqing, and the nameless four protectors with him. Not only that, but the disciples of Longxiang Mountain also left Yunnan one after another and entered the Central Plains one after another. Want...... The 'foundation' of Yun Chasing Moon and Longxiang Mountain in Yunnan is already crumbling and precarious. Therefore, he went to the Central Plains in order to make a comeback. ”

"Shhh

Teng Sanshi was shocked and seemed incredulous: "Why is this so?"

"The Mongolian general stationed in Dali, Wuliang Hetai, does not like the Jianghu people to dominate the territory under his jurisdiction. Teng Cang recalled, "Previously, Yun Chaiyue repeatedly sent people to show favor to Wuliang Hetai, but unfortunately, 'hot face sticks to cold ass', and people don't pay attention to him at all." ”

"It is not surprising that although Longxiang Mountain is famous in the rivers and lakes, it is in the eyes of the Mongolian generals who command thousands of troops...... It's just a bunch of rogues. Teng Sanshi groaned, "What's more, Yun Chasing the Moon betrayed the Mongols during the martial arts conference, and it is normal for them to hold a grudge. ”

"What the patriarch said is very true. ”

"How did the Dali Imperial Family react?" Teng Sanshi raised his eyebrows and said curiously, "I heard that the Duan family has a great relationship with Longxiang Mountain, and they have been helping each other for many years. Today, Longxiang Mountain is squeezed out by the Mongols, Duan Xingzhi ...... There should be no sitting idly by. ”

"The Mongols seem to be crowding out Longxiang Mountain, but their real intention is to suppress the Duan family's entrenched stubborn forces in Dali. Teng Cang replied secretly, "At the beginning of Dali's surrender, many tribes in Yunnan refused to give in, so the Mongols let Duan Xingzhi lead an army to quell the rebellion. At that time, Long Xiangshan saddled up and helped the Duan family solve a lot of troubles. Nowadays, the 'Diao people' in Dali are dying and fleeing, even if they are lucky to survive, it is difficult to form a climate. Therefore, the Mongols decided to hide all the birds and hide the bows, and the rabbits and dead dogs cooked, and turned the spearhead directly at the 'last' native force in Yunnan, that is, the Duan family in Dali. However, the Mongol Great Khan and Duan Xingzhi had a word in advance, and they could not be killed after surrendering, so they did not dare to attack the Duan family directly, so as not to be truthful. As a result, the Mongols decided to cut off his wings, frustrate his edge, and put Duan Xingzhi under house arrest in a cage of glory and wealth, and there was no chance to turn over in this life. However, the main force of the Duan family in Dali has long been exhausted, and the soldiers and horses are gone. Right now, the Duan family's biggest wings are undoubtedly the masterful Longxiang Mountain. Therefore......"

"I understand, Duan Xingzhi is also more than willing but not enough. Teng Sanshi suddenly opened, his face helpless, "In this way, Yun Chaiyue is 'dragging his family and leading the mouth' to die in the Central Plains this time?"

"Sort of!" Teng Cang said with a wry smile, "Although Ailao Mountain still has the banner of Longxiang Mountain, it ...... It has long been in name only. ”

"No wonder the Dragon Elephant Mountain poured out of the nest, so it is. Teng Sanshi stuck the fishing rod in his hand into the soil diagonally, and slowly got up with Teng Cang's support, a trace of guilt appeared between his eyebrows, "It seems that the old man is too worried! Xiang'er he ...... It was because of desperation that he appeared in the Central Plains, not as I imagined...... Misdeeds. ”

"The patriarch thought he was ......"

"I thought he was with Qingfeng father and daughter...... There is some secret collusion that cannot be heard. ”

"Yun Chaiyue concealed it first, and prevarication came later, no wonder the patriarch suspected him. Teng Cang patiently persuaded, and then changed his words, "That's right! The situation outside the customs has gradually stabilized in the past few days. Since the Wudang disciples entered the tiger's den and found nothing, many people have given up the idea of chasing and killing Liu Xunyi, and have withdrawn to the Central Plains one after another. ”

"What about Liu Xunyi?" Teng Sanshi was happy in his heart, but he remained silent on the surface, "Is there any news about him?"

"It's strange to say, Liu Xunyi seems to have evaporated from the world, and disappeared without a trace. Teng Cang puzzled, "Now there are many people who suspect that the news released by the Qingfeng Alliance Leader is wrong, and even suspect that Zhong Limu, the head of Kongtong, is eager to 'lie about the military situation', and the disciples of Kongtong have not seen Liu Xunyi in the Northeast at all." I've heard...... Many people plan to unite to ask the Qingfeng Alliance Lord for 'carriage and horse fees', after all, it is a lot of money to eat horses and chew them. Of course, it doesn't matter if they have a big business like Wudang and Kongtong, but they go all the way to join in the excitement outside the gate, but the small gangs who want to 'eat meat and drink soup' are complaining. ”

"Let them make trouble!" Teng Sanshi sneered, "The more chaos the better, and it's better not to end it." ”

"This ......"

"Patriarch!"

Before Teng Cang, who was puzzled, asked the reason, a crisp female voice abruptly interrupted the conversation between the two.

followed the sound, but saw Teng Qin'er, who looked hurried, walking quickly towards the lake.

"What's the fuss?"

"Back to the patriarch, there are two 'old friends' who came uninvited. ”

"Old friend?" Teng Sanshi and Teng Cang were stunned for a moment, the two looked at each other, and blurted out in unison, "Who?"

"Song Yu and Leng Yiyi of Jinjianwu. ”
