CHAPTER XXXVII

Lu Chuan has been staying on the Lenglong Ridge from the year to the new year, although the mountain is relatively monotonous every day, but it is also comfortable to be accompanied by a few brothers.

On this day, Yang Mu found Lu Chuan and seemed to want to say something, but his face was sad and he refused to say it.

Lu Chuan knew that something was wrong, so he asked, "Big brother, if our brother has something to say, you can just say it." ”

"It's not that the eldest brother is chasing you, but I'm afraid you can't stay in the mountains anymore. ”

Lu Chuan was stunned when he heard this.

Yang Mu hurriedly explained: "Sixth brother, don't get me wrong, it's the news from the bottom of the mountain that says that Yao is in poor health, and Yao Gong has left Beijing for Jinling. ”

"Ahh

When Lu Chuan heard that his grandfather was sick, he was anxious, and he almost lost his anger at that time.

Yang Mu hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold it.

Lu Chuan gritted his teeth, turned around and went back to the room, and in less than a cup of tea, he ran out with his sword and his bags on his back.

"Sixth brother, sixth brother, don't worry, it's a long way to Jinling, don't be in a hurry at this moment. ”

Lu Chuan ran forward for a while before he stopped, his chest rising and falling, and his face was very pale.

Yang Mu took out a golden token from his arms, stuffed it into Lu Chuan's hand, and instructed: "You put this token away carefully, with this token, you can mobilize everyone below Leng Longling." ”

The gold medal is three inches long and two inches wide, and the front is written "Leng Rui Dark Incense, Long Yin Bone Clear", and the back is the time, "August 15, 15th year of Hongzhi".

Lu Chuan is frowning, this is the "talisman" of Leng Longling.

"Big brother, I'll go home, and I'm not going to fight, why are you giving me the order?"

"Our Lenglongling is not only these brothers on the mountain, there are many people under the mountain, they are all over the world, they are our eyes and ears, our lifeblood, and our new force. You have to stay and eat when you go down the mountain, you need silver taels, you need news and intelligence, the rivers and lakes are sinister, and you can't do it without your own people. Take the last time, if you don't notice that there is medicine in the wine, won't it have caused a big disaster? You can take the token, and the eldest brother can let you go down the mountain. ”

"This ...... All right. ”

Lu Chuan put the token away closely, said goodbye to the eldest brother, and went to the stable to take out the night snow BMW.

This horse was won by Lu Chuan when he first arrived in Lenglongling and the third brother Qu Shili, it was a small foal, with a black body, only four hooves and a little white hair on the horse's back, Lu Chuan named it Yexue. I have never been willing to ride, but this time I was in a hurry to go back, so I pulled it out.

The night snow has been on the mountain for a long time, and when I got down the mountain, it was like a joy, and a gust of wind ran down to the east.

From Lenglongling to Jinling must pass through Kongtong Mountain, after arriving at the bottom of the mountain, Lu Chuan remembered the scene when he came last year, and his heart was full of emotion.

He has calmed down a lot along the way, even if he is in a hurry, it is impossible to get to Jinling in one day, the eldest brother is right, not for a while.

He found his brother in Lenglongling, sent his horse down, and walked up the mountain himself.

The door of Xiangshan Temple is locked, Lao Dao has not come back, it seems that he thinks well, and Lao Dao has been following him after he went down the mountain, secretly protecting. But who was the one-armed old man? Why did he kill himself? What is the relationship between Lao Dao and himself, where has Lao Dao gone now, and so on, and he still doesn't know.

Although I didn't see Lao Dao, the mystery in my heart was somewhat solved.

After leaving the Xiangshan Temple, he went to the Kongtong faction again and handed the master's letter to the Taoist boy who guarded the door.

Then he left without looking back, and he had read the letter many times, and there was no need to read it again. Whether Fei Hongzi is there or not, he doesn't care what reaction he will have and what his answer will be. Yu Wudang, Master Yu, his task was completed, the letter was delivered, and that was enough.

After going down the mountain, he didn't stay, and arrived at Jinling in a day.

After arriving in Jinling, he first went to his own house, and when he saw that there was no one at home, he went to his grandfather's house again.

When I went to the door, everything was as usual, and it didn't seem to be a big deal, so I was relieved.

As he walked inside, he shouted, "Grandpa, I'm back, grandpa......"

A person came out of the main room with a curtain, "Come in, wait for someone to welcome you?"

Lu Chuan saw that this person's legs and stomachs were turning, so he hurriedly walked up with a smiling face and said, "Mother, you are also here." ”

Yao Xian said in a low voice: "Don't think that I don't know what good things you did outside, wait until you get home and see how I clean you up." ”

Lu Chuan stuck out his tongue and hurriedly walked inside, he had already made up his mind not to go home, go back?

When I went to the house, I saw that there were many relatives and friends standing. Lu Chuan said hello and walked to the back room, and when he glanced at the collapse, Lu Chuan almost burst into tears.

Yao Wei Yao Chunjin, that is a burly man, when he was young, he could throw the horse out with one arm. Now, it's so thin, so thin that the whole person has changed.

"Grandpa......" Lu Chuan knelt down with a pout, and he couldn't say anything more.

Yao Qi, who was scrubbing Old Man Yao's body on the side, coughed and said, "Xiaochuan, come and wipe your grandfather's hands." ”

Lu Chuan wiped away his tears, forced a smile, and sat on the edge of the bed, "Grandpa, I'm back." ”

Although Old Man Yao is already sick, he is still sober, "Oh, it's Xiaochuan, you didn't come back for the New Year, and grandpa thought he couldn't see you anymore." ”

Lu Chuan's relationship with his grandfather is far from being the same as that of other grandfathers and grandsons, Lu Xiuyuan's father, that is, Lu Chuan's grandfather died early, their family has always lived in Yao Mansion, Lu Chuan was born in Yao Mansion, and he was accompanied by his grandfather day and night when he was a child, and later went to Wudang Mountain, and came back once or twice a year, and he also lived in Yao Mansion, and he didn't even know who his grandfather was.

Old Man Yao also likes this grandson very much, more than his own grandson.

Lu Chuan can also be regarded as filial piety, although he is in the northwest, he has finally caught up, and he has never left the sickbed half a step since today, and has accompanied the old man through the last period of time.

On the sixth day of the fifth month, the eighth wilderness of the town of Sensen, the third Wenhou Yao Wei Yao ended his ordinary but extraordinary life at the age of seventy-three.

On the seventh day of the fifth month, Emperor Xiaozong Zhu Youzhu died in the Qianqing Palace at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve.

Before the death of the old man Yao, Yao Qi was filial piety in front of the hall, and after the death of the old man Yao, after the funeral, Yao Qian went back to Beijing. Now is the time to change the dynasty, the most likely to cause trouble, he is not in Beijing, there are many things that are difficult for others to deal with. And I heard that in March, Li Xiang Li Dongyang reprimanded his relatives, but he was sent to prison by Xiaozong, and he was released only after Xie Qianlibao, a member of the Cabinet University. The young master is young, and the traitor has not been eliminated, so they must not be allowed to take advantage of it.

The dead are gone, and those who are left behind, no matter how much sorrow they have, can neither resurrect them nor go with them.

The life of grief has to go on.

After the death of Old Man Yao, the huge Yao Mansion was empty, and only Lu Chuan stayed in it alone, renewing incense in the morning and evening, offering to the spiritual seat, and refusing to go home for a long time.

It's not that he really doesn't dare to go home, Yao Xian said that, but with such a son, can he really be willing to break his leg?

He couldn't bear this place.

Yao Xian and Lu Xiuyuan also knew their son's thoughts, so they were not reluctant.

Lu Chuan has been staying in Yao Mansion like this, practicing swords in the morning and evening, and reading during the day, but he is also comfortable.

Although he stayed at home, Leng Longling's brothers often sent news in.

At first, he heard that Emperor Zhu Houzhao of Zhengde was very clever and knew that it was good to do it, and with the assistance of Li Dongyang, Liu Jian, and Xie Qian, the three ministers of Tuogu, he granted amnesty to the world, rectified the dynasty, and everything was in order, and he was very happy.

Later, the news gradually changed its taste, saying that Zhu Houzhao liked to be lustful and lazy, neglected the government, and pardoned a large number of eunuchs who had been degraded and punished by the previous emperor, and eight of them were the most favored, known as the Eight Tigers, and Liu Jin was the least of the eight tigers.

On 23 February, Liu Jianjuan, the first assistant to the cabinet, asked for diligence and ignored it.

On the eighth day of April, Ma Wensheng and Liu Jian, who were also the secretary of the military department and the leader of the 12th regiment battalion, were invited again, but they still ignored it, and Ma Wensheng resigned in a fit of anger.

On April 11, Wang Shi, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department and the secretary of the household department, sent a letter to Shi.

On the third day of the fifth month, the left waiter of the household department Wang Yan Zhishi.

On the fifth day of the fifth month of May, Li Mengyang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry in Nanjing, gave a letter.

On May 17, Liu Daxia, the secretary of the military department and the battalion of the 12th regiment.

On the fifth day of the first month of June, Min Jue, the secretary of the Criminal Department, asked Zhishi not to allow it.

On September 15, Liu Jin was promoted to the eunuch of the seal on behalf of Wang Yue, and set up an insider factory, Ma Yongcheng, Gu Dayong, Zhang Yong, etc., led the east and west factories and the military affairs in the palace, and the power leaned towards the government and the opposition.

On September 26, there was news in the palace that a chivalrous warrior entered the palace to assassinate the king, and Yao Qi, the director of the Supervision and Arrest Department of the Criminal Department, was implicated and sent to prison, and died in prison that night.

Lu Chuan was stunned for a moment when he heard the news, and then laughed.

He's not crazy, he's not crazy at all, he's laughing at Leng Longling's brother It's ridiculous, and he can still come to this kind of news, this news is obviously fake.

It may be a bit too much to say that it is the emperor of the rivers and lakes, but it is not much worse, and the Jinyi guards dare to take him to prison, unless they don't want it, unless they don't even want their heads.

As for suicide in fear of sin, it is even more impossible, Yao Qian is a person who has collapsed in front of Mount Tai and has not changed his color, what sin can make him afraid?

Thinking of this, Lu Chuan calmed down, closed the door of the house, and walked towards his home.

Before he walked to the door, he heard a woman's terrible cry from the courtyard, Lu Chuan's face suddenly changed, and he rushed in three steps and two steps, and when he entered the door, his mother Yao Xian couldn't cry anymore, and even his father frowned, only the breath came out, not the breath entered.

There was also a person standing in the house, who was also crying with a handful of snot and two lines of tears, Lu Chuan knew, he had seen him on the Falcon Ridge, this person's name was Jiang Shi, and he was the confidant of his uncle Yao Qi.

At this time, Lu Chuan couldn't care about the etiquette, went up and grabbed Jiang Shi's wrist, and asked sharply, "What happened?"

Jiang Shi said intermittently: "My uncle Yao Qian is dead. ”

Lu Chuan's face suddenly changed greatly, and he pointed at Jiang Shi's nose and scolded: "Dog, who gave you the courage to talk nonsense here? Ah? My uncle is the first person in the world of martial arts, how could he die?"

"Brother Lu Shi, it's me, I watched his old man come out of Zhao Prison with my own eyes. ”

"Lift it out, must it be a dead person, carry it out, ...... carry it out."

Lu Chuan couldn't say it anymore, the news from Leng Longling was like this, and Jiang Shi from the capital also said that it was like this, and he really couldn't find a reason to convince himself anymore.

As the saying goes, the golden wind knows before the cicada moves, and the impermanence of the secret plan does not know. When the tiger still has a nap, let alone a human being, a living person who wants to eat and sleep?

If you are besieged by dozens of top masters, or poisoned, or use the army, I am afraid that even if you have three heads and six arms......

"It's all to blame Zhu Houzhao, this senseless faint king!"

Lu Chuan rushed out with his sword upside down, and at this time he no longer had any reason to speak of.

"Brother Lu Shi, Brother Lu Shi......"

That night, taking advantage of the glimmer of the stars, four fast horses galloped north from the official road of Jinling.

Lu Chuan, Jiang Shi, Lu Xiuyuan, Yao Xian, when they heard such news, no one could sit still.

Yao Xian also carried Yao Wang in her arms, a hard-working child who was only five years old.
