Volume 3: The Red Furnace Gives Resentment Chapter 5: Faithfully Go North, Righteousness and Return South.
It's dusk, and the sun is setting.
The mist in the mountains and forests adds to the chill.
The masked swordsman looked at the original more than 100 heroes in the rivers and lakes, but now there are only more than 20 people left, and they are still injured one by one, and they can't help but have tears in their eyes. He tore off the scarf with his only left hand, and it was a wind chime knife chapter Tianpi.
"Your Excellency will help, and please accept Zhang Mou's worship!" Zhang Tianbi was about to kneel on the ground, but the man hurriedly supported him and said, "Lord Zhang, this is a poor way. The man seemed to be quite young to his voice, dressed in a blue robe and covered his face with a black cloth scarf.
He tore off the black cloth face towel and said, "Something happened on the way, delaying the time, I'm really sorry for Lord Zhang and you." β
"It's you. Zhang Tianbi never thought that it would be this person, just now he saw with his own eyes the sharpness of this person's swordsmanship. Suddenly thinking of what Daoist Quan Qingzi said, his disciple's swordsmanship was not under him, and he was ashamed in his heart. If he hadn't looked down on this person in the first place, why would he be like this!
This person was Bai Yujing, who was late, and when Bai Yujing arrived, Zhang Tianbi and the others had already exchanged hands with the officers and soldiers. He had no choice but to put his robe and hat on horseback to attract the attention of the officers and soldiers, while he hid aside with light skills.
Zhang Tianbi also seemed to see Bai Yujing's apology, shook his head, and said, "Bai Dao Chang can come in person, Zhang is already very grateful. As for the governor's business, it has to be considered in the long run. He thought of the Governor's words, alas, that he would not die as a fugitive!
"What is Master Zhang's next step?" Bai Yujing asked.
The others also looked at Zhang Tianpi, and now it seems that the Governor is not willing to flee at all, and if they go to hijack the prisoner's car again, there is no other way to repay them except to give their lives in vain.
Zhang Tianbi arched his hand towards everyone and said, "This time, the Governor of Zhang Mou thanked all the heroes, and Zhang Mou still has some property in the east of Huizhou Mansion, and you can take it and divide it." β
When everyone heard this, their expressions were different, and someone asked, "What about you, Lord Zhang?"
Zhang Tianbi sighed and said slowly: "Zhang plans to go to the capital. His eyes were a little misty, looking at the distant sky, a little remnant of the sun, as bright as blood.
"Master Zhang!" someone sighed.
"Okay, you all go, save the officers and soldiers from chasing. Zhang Tianbi said.
For a while, everyone looked at each other, "Master Zhang, farewell!"
Suddenly, they left one after another, except for Bai Yujing, there were only three young men left. And just now, except for Zhang Tianbi who took off his scarf in front of Bai Yujing, only the three of them did the same thing.
"Why haven't you three left?" Zhang Tianbi said.
"Uncle Zhang, you are missing an arm, and it is a long way to go to the capital, so why don't we let the three brothers take care of you!" said one of them, and the other two also echoed, looking at Zhang Tianbi eagerly.
Zhang Tianbi's face sank slightly, wanting to drive them away, but he was afraid of hurting their hearts, so he could only nod in the end.
"Bai Daochang, why didn't you leave?" Zhang Tianbi asked as he looked at Bai Yujing.
Bai Yujing shook his head embarrassedly and said, "Master Zhang, I was supposed to go to the capital with you, but I was entrusted by someone to have to go to Nanjing, don't blame me!"
Zhang Tianbi smiled and said: "Bai Daochang's loyalty to people is exactly what the heroes of the rivers and lakes do, how can Zhang Mou blame you, not to mention, Zhang Mou didn't want to rob the prison when he went to the capital, and there is no need for Bai Daochang to worry about it, you can go with confidence." β
Bai Yujing gave a salute and said: "When Nanjing is over, I will also go north to the capital, and when Lord Zhang has something, he will definitely go to Baiyun Temple to find me." β
"It must be ......" Zhang Tianbi only said that Bai Yujing was so enthusiastic because he was late, and hurriedly said that he would definitely look for him then.
Seeing this, Bai Yujing left with confidence.
......
Nanjing was originally the Ming Dynasty Kyoto, the name should be Tianfu, after the Emperor Taizong changed the capital to Beijing Shuntianfu, Nanjing became the capital. Throughout history, only the Ming Dynasty has two six departments, one in Beijing and one in Nanjing. Of course, because the emperor and the cabinet were in Beijing, the six ministries in Nanjing became furnishings. Despite this, Nanjing's prosperity is the best in the south of the Yangtze River, on both sides of the Qinhuai River, and how many literati and writers linger for it.
Just at this time, Bai Yujing was wearing a cyan robe and strolling along the banks of the Qinhuai River. I saw the brilliant lights on both sides of the river, countless light boats on the river, and faintly there were warblers singing and dancing. "Blue clouds, yellow flowers, the west wind is tight, the northern geese fly south, who is drunk with frost and forest, always away from people's tears" The tactful singing voice came from afar, and I don't know who was singing the story ......of the West Chamber.
"The man said that I can see the sword boy on the bank of the Qinhuai River, I have already come to this Qinhuai side, but how can I find this sword boy?" Bai Yujing frowned slightly.
"It's Miss Qingling who came out. β
At this time, there was a commotion ahead. On the river, I don't know when a painting boat has drifted in, and at the bow of the boat is a woman wearing a colorful Luo robe and a white jade belt around her waist, and she is sitting next to a guqin. Although the lights were dim and several feet away, Bai Yujing could still clearly see that beautiful face.
The eyebrows are like spring mountains, the eyes contain river water, the five fingers are like jade onions, and the strings are lightly buttoned.
"Zhengβ"
The sound of the piano sounded, at first like a woman whispering, and then gradually became lighter, as if someone was humming a fishing song, it turned out to be an ancient tune "Drunken Fishing Singing Night". The sound is intriguing, even if it is a noisy riverside, there is a kind of charm that makes people intoxicated and staying.
Although Bai Yujing didn't understand the piano music, he also felt that it was extremely beautiful, and he couldn't help but slow down his pace.
"Senior Brother Bai......" Suddenly, a slightly familiar voice sounded.
The person who came was a middle-aged Taoist priest who was not confused, wearing a red brocade silk robe, a purple gold Taoist crown, and a long sword. Even the gold silk bag on the waist, the best mutton fat jade pendant shows that this net worth is extraordinary. If other Taoist priests are dressed like this, I am afraid that it will make people feel a little out of place, but this person's face is like a full moon and his skin is like jade, revealing a noble body, but it is natural.
"Senior Brother Guan?" Bai Yujing was a little surprised, this person was Guan Tiansheng, the registered disciple of the Quanqingzi Daoist. Guan Tiansheng, as a registered disciple of the Quanqingzi Daoist, rarely stays in Gesoshan Mountain, so Bai Yujing has only seen this person a few times. However, after all, they are the same door, and there is no reason not to like meeting here.
Guan Tiansheng said with a smile: "I didn't expect to meet you in this place at this time, it's really ......" He didn't seem to be able to think of any words to describe it for a while.
But Bai Yujing obviously felt that Guan Tiansheng seemed to be too happy to meet him.
"Senior brother, you came just in time. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll have to lose my reputation this time. Guan Tiansheng said.
Guan Tiansheng, the Taoist priest of Wei Guogong, taught the prince to practice swordsmanship full-time.
When Taizong of this dynasty raised troops, Xu Da's youngest son Xu Zengshou reported the news, and was named the Duke of Guo after his death, and this vein moved to Beijing with Emperor Taizong. The eldest son Xu Huizu inherited the Duke of Wei and lived in Nanjing as the garrison of Nanjing.
And Bai Yujing also followed Guan Tiansheng into the Wei State Mansion, although this Wei State Mansion does not seem to be as big as the Chu Palace, but the courtyard layout is also extraordinary.
It occupies a vast area, Bai Yujing didn't know, Guan Tiansheng took him from the main gate to the small gate on the southwest side for a full quarter of an hour. There were guards inside and outside the small door, and when they saw Guan Tiansheng, they greeted each other. For Bai Yujing, who was following alongside, he didn't ask, which shows Guan Tiansheng's status in the mansion.
As soon as you enter the small door, there are many courtyards, rockeries and strange stones, ponds and pavilions, which make people dazzled. Among them, it is extremely eye-catching that the Song Dynasty flower stone gang "Xianren Peak" and "Yiyun Peak", as well as "Guanyin Stone" and "Tongzi Stone" and so on, its extravagant wind can be seen in general.
After Guan Tiansheng arranged for Bai Yujing to stay, he went to tell the prince.
On the way, Bai Yujing also knew how happy Guan Tiansheng was when he met him. It turned out that the reason why Guan Tiansheng was able to teach the swordsmanship of the prince of Wei was not because he was excellent in swordsmanship, but because his father was originally the personal guard of the Duke of Wei, and after learning swordsmanship with Quan Qingzi, he was arranged to teach the eldest son of the Duke of Wei, Xu Bangrui, swordsmanship.
Although Xu Bangrui is the eldest son, he is really a concubine, but fortunately, the wife of Wei Guogong, Zhang, died early, so according to the rule of establishing the eldest and not the young, Xu Bangrui is the son of the Duke of Wei. It's just that the Duke of Wei likes Xu Bangning, the second son of the concubine Zheng, and even bribed Yan Shifan, the second son of Yan Song, the first assistant of the cabinet at that time, to make Xu Bangning's mother Zheng the wife of Wei. Therefore, although Xu Bangrui is the eldest son, his actual status is not superior.
Xu Bangning also knew this, so he recruited his fifth brother Xu Bangqing to compete with Xu Bangrui everywhere. Although the two sides have not torn their faces on the surface, it is not uncommon for their respective subordinates and people around them to fight each other. No, Xu Bangning is said to have invited a top swordsman, so he held a sword tasting conference in the Lotus Garden in the west of the city, hoping that Xu Bangrui could participate.
As the eldest brother, Xu Bangrui naturally can't show his timidity, but Guan Tiansheng is a little more worried. When I sent someone to inquire, I was even more worried. It is said that Xu Bangning has been entertaining a man recently, the man is tall and personable, Guan Tiansheng instantly thought of a famous swordsman in the rivers and lakes.
The spring breeze turns into rain and willows.
In the past five years, he has been the most famous young swordsman in Jiangnan. And there is only the wrong name on the rivers and lakes, there is no wrong nickname, this person is known as the spring breeze and rain, which shows the speed of this person's swordsmanship.
Like a spring breeze without a trace, like a spring rain without a trace, as soon as the sword light unfolds, it will splash like wind and rain.
Don't say that the younger generation, even if it is the older generation of famous Jianghu masters, there are many failures in his hands, the Miaojue monk of Tiantai Temple, the five fingers of Guangxin Mansion through Tianhou Ruohai, the East China Sea Baibu Shenquan Jiang Tai Sui and so on. Guan Tiansheng thinks that he will not be worse than these famous people, but if he really wants to defeat these people, he is not 100% sure.
What's more, in the second list of heaven and earth compiled by the withered nest Taoist, Liu Wuya temporarily ranked thirty-seventh. Although Guan Tiansheng thinks that there are many untruths in the list of Dry Nest Daoists, many powerful people have failed to make the list. But being on the list shows how powerful it is.
Therefore, against Shangliu Wuya, Guan Tiansheng expected that there was no chance of winning. If it was something else, Guan Tiansheng could still postpone one one or two, but it was about Xu Bangrui's face, how could he be good at outside?
It was also pitiful that made him meet Bai Yujing. Others don't know Bai Yujing's swordsmanship, but he understands the power of his little junior brother. There were even times when he would think that now that the master was old, he was afraid that he was not as good as this little junior brother.
