Chapter I
When he came out of the Beining Palace, Feng Weiming was still thinking about the young man he had just seen, his bearing was by no means like an ordinary knight, although he wore a sword at his waist, he couldn't hide the bookish aura between his eyebrows. And what really makes Feng Weiming mind is the sword, although Feng Weiming has little contact with the king of Beining, but the king of Beining has little contact with the people of the rivers and lakes, but the world knows everything, but no matter what the identity of the other party is, even if it is a grandmaster, he must untie the sword when he enters the palace of the king of Beining.
Who is this young man?
"Yue ...... Xian?" Feng Wei thought to himself, he had never heard the name before. Feng Weiming lifted the sedan curtain and instructed Feng Zhong, the housekeeper who was following outside: "Go and find out, what is the origin of Yue Xian." ”
"Yes. ”
"Remember, inquire quietly, and don't let the king of Bac Ninh know. ”
The King of Beining smiled and said to Yue Xian, "Brother Xian, have you heard of this Lord Feng just now?"
Yue Xian said: "I heard that it is the deputy commander of Shiliangmen. ”
"That's good!" King of Beining put away his fan: "Feng Weiming is the beloved disciple of Yao Xiyan, the former commander of Shiliangmen, who entered Shiliangmen at the age of seventeen, and became the capital in less than a year. At that time, it was in the limelight, so everyone thought that he would be the commander in the future. At the beginning, no one expected that my imperial brother would find this left army as a commander from somewhere. ”
Yue Xian nodded: "I have also heard of the Zuo Army in the rivers and lakes, and it is said that the martial arts and abilities are first-class, but no one knows the origin. The martial arts routines are also the strengths of each family, and it is difficult to see which one comes from. ”
The king of Beining smiled: "Yes, the foolish brother has loved to interact with the rivers and lakes since he was a child, and he thinks that he has made friends with many heroes of the rivers and lakes, but this left army is really not clear to anyone." ”
Jiang Sihe was only three years old when he was named the king of Bac Ninh. His father died that year, and the then crown prince, that is, his eldest brother Jiang Yuelun, inherited the throne of Xiang Guo, and immediately named his four younger brothers king, and the youngest Jiang Sihe was named the king of Bac Ninh. It's just that the king of Bac Ninh never cared about the government of the court, but was willing to interact with people in the rivers and lakes, from the head of the sect to the peddler and pawn, but everyone who had the ability or insight was treated with courtesy. Therefore, although the king of Bac Ninh has no achievements in the court, he has won a bold name in the rivers and lakes. Emperor Xiang and the King of Beining were both born to the Queen Mother, so Emperor Xiang and the Queen Mother also told the King of Beining many times to concentrate on the government and share the worries of Emperor Xiang.
When Feng Zhong came in to report, Feng Weiming had just finished washing, and listened to Feng Zhong's report while having breakfast: "My subordinates found out that Yue Xian is the second son of Yue Qiuming, the owner of the three villas of Yuejian Villa in Lingzhou. Yuejian Villa did not have much contact with the Central Plains martial arts, and the three owners rarely set foot in the Central Plains, and had no contact with our dynasty and the Beishu court. So...... The subordinates were incompetent and could not find out more information. ”
Feng Weiming waved his hand: "Go down, call Tu Hai in." ”
Feng Zhong lowered his hand and retreated, and after a while, a burly black man walked in, saluted, and said in a voice like a bell: "My lord."
Feng Weiming wiped the corners of his mouth: "Tu Hai, have you heard of Yue Jian Villa?"
Tu Hai looked slightly stunned, but soon returned to normal: "I heard a little." ”
"Tell me about it. ”
"Yuejian Villa is located on the Yunji Mountain in Lingzhou, before the battle between Emperor Taizu and Wen Cheng in Hailongguan, he invited the world's martial arts heroes to help, and this Yuejian Villa was also invited. The process of Nawen has been entrenched in the three states of Ling, Lie, and Qiu for many years, and the people have a lot of resentment, and the martial arts factions also hate him bitterly, so they have sent people to help. This is the only Yue Jian Villa, and only one young swordsman was sent to him, who called himself 'Yue Xiaowu'. Emperor Taizu saw that they only sent one person, and he was a little unhappy at first, but in the end, it was this Yue Xiaowu who beheaded the head of the literary process, and Taizu was overjoyed, and he wanted to reward him, but he resigned. Since then, Yuejian Villa has no contact with the Central Plains, and the people in the rivers and lakes don't know much about them. ”
"Oh, yes" Feng Weiming nodded: "If you don't say it, I forgot that there is such a thing, counting it, Emperor Taizu has been founding the country for more than 80 years, and if Yue Xiaowu is still alive, I am afraid that he will be 100 years old." Do you know the current owner of Yue Jian Villa?"
Tu Hai thought for a while: "Originally, it was not clear, but last year, the head of the Xuanhu faction wanted to drink and go to Yunji Mountain to thank him, and even married his beloved woman Mengxian Xu to Yue Chong, the eldest son of Yue Qiuming, the owner of the three villas of Yue Jian Villa, which caused a shock in the rivers and lakes, and made the people of the rivers and lakes pay attention to Yue Jian Villa again." It is said that there are two owners, the big owner is called Yue Chuncheng, and the second owner is called Yue Xiaze. ”
"Xuanhu Sect?" Feng Weiming couldn't help but be stunned.
In Xiang Guo, even a three-year-old child knows that the Xuanhu faction is the first sect in the rivers and lakes, and it is as famous as a cloud in the more than 200 years since its establishment. In the first battle of Hailongguan, Xuanhu sent the most force, and was awarded the title of "No. 1 in the world" by Taizu. In all dynasties, the people of the rivers and lakes rarely interacted with the court, and those who served the court were denounced as "eagle dogs" and despised by fellow martial artists. Only the battle of Hailong Pass was an exception, and the process of Gainwen did a lot of evil, endangered the people, and caused the resentment of the martial arts, so they jointly helped Emperor Taizu. After the Battle of Hailong Pass, Taizu wanted to take the martial arts for his own use, and most of the martial arts people left and no longer had dealings with the imperial court. Although the Xuanhu faction did not stay in the court, it also helped the court many times in the following decades, but because every time it did it for the benefit of the people, it not only did not cause ridicule from fellow martial artists, but its prestige increased day by day. The head of the family, Zi Drink, has served as the leader of the martial arts alliance for 20 consecutive years.
Feng Weiming stood up and paced around the house twice: "Do you know why the son wants to drink and worship Xie Yue Sword Villa?"
"This ...... The subordinates don't know, although there are many speculations in the martial arts, but no one knows the original reason," Tu Hai shook his head and said.
"Okay, you go down, tell your people to secretly visit Yue Jian Villa, and tell me in time if you find anything. ”
"Subordinates obey!" Tu Hai bowed and retreated.
Feng Weiming couldn't figure out what it was that could make the son who responded to the call in the martial arts come to the door to thank him in person, and even married his beloved daughter to the other party. Yuejian Villa...... I'm afraid it's not that simple.
Tu Hai wondered why Feng Weiming would ask about Yue Jian Villa, it was a name he couldn't forget. Fifteen years ago, his father, Shen Chongbao, the leader of the Sword and Tiger Gang, took five disciples to Lingzhou, and when he came back, he was the only one, and he was seriously injured, so he only struggled to say "Yue...... Sword...... Mountain...... Zhuang ...... swallowed. After Shen Chongbao's death, the Sword and Tiger Gang was torn apart, several elders fought for the position of the gang leader, Tu Hai's uncle, Shen Chongwei, who was only four years older than him, fled to the capital with Tu Hai, six years ago, Shen Chongwei suddenly disappeared, and he was unaccompanied in Beijing and cast himself under the pseudonym Tu Hai to Shiliangmen. And the reason why Tu Hai is like this is also to use Shi Liangmen to investigate the whereabouts of Yue Jian Villa and Uncle Xiao, but there is really not much that can be discovered, only that there are currently three owners of Yue Jian Villa, and they are the three brothers of a fellow mother. Although the third Yue Qiuming is the youngest, his martial arts are not inferior to the two brothers, the big village owner and the second village owner have only two daughters, but Yue Qiuming has two sons and a daughter, so Yue Jian Villa has been in charge of Yue Qiuming over the years, and the others are completely unknown. Of course, his entanglement with Yue Jian Villa can't be told to Feng Weiming.
