Volume 1 Taking the Sword Chapter 15 The Past of Hongmen

"It's just that the internal injuries of the two of them are extremely serious, and I have no martial arts, so there is little hope of being cured by medicine alone, but fortunately, Su and Peng, the two helpers, know a Chinese divine doctor, and went to Anhui County in Yangzhou overnight to borrow this thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum. “

Fortunately, Hua Shen Healed his old man and the Bodhisattva's heart, and immediately handed over the precious thousand-year-old Lingzhi to the two brothers. After getting Ganoderma lucidum, they were supposed to rush back to Butterfly Valley overnight, but as soon as they entered Songyang County, they received an invitation post, and Tang Zhenxi, the 'Zhongzhou Hero', set up a seventieth birthday banquet and invited them warmly. The two brothers were not easy to push, so they went to Zhongyuezhuang first, who knew that this was actually a 'Hongmen banquet'! Poor Peng brothers died tragically, Su brothers were seriously injured, but fortunately the three young heroes came to the rescue. “

"I'm ashamed to say it, if it weren't for an old beggar to save the scene, even if the juniors themselves could not get out of Zhongyuezhuang, how could they have a chance to rescue the Su gang leader. ”

"He must be a master, he can contain the two masters of Tang Zhenwei and 'Hongmen' at the same time, and his martial arts must not be weak. ”

"Exactly, the younger generation looks at him very familiarly, but he can't remember where he has seen it!"

As he was talking, the two people on the stone bed behind him sat up almost at the same time, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood, and all of them were purple-black blood.

Brother Xiang looked back and said with a smile: "Very good, very good! The blood has also been vomited, you are fine, and your body is recovering well." Although you can't move or talk these days, you can eat and sleep, and your mind is awake, so you naturally know who I am!"

The two nodded, but did not speak, perhaps because they had been 'asleep' for too long, and they had just woken up, and their brains were still a little cloudy, so it would take time to get used to it.

Brother Xiang nodded, and said to Cao Hong and Li Ru: "I'm tired of the two young heroes, please help him and the two of them to bathe and change clothes first, turn left in the southeast and southeast, there is a back room, and there are clean clothes in it." ”

After hearing this, Cao and Li hurriedly stepped forward, and the two were ignorant and were helped to walk.

Cao Cao saw clearly that these two people were not very old, about the same age as Cao Hong. It's a little strange that one of them, Cao Cao, looks a little familiar, this face seems to have been seen somewhere, think about it carefully, and there are no friends of this age.

While pondering, he suddenly heard the sound of someone vomiting blood, Cao Cao subconsciously looked ahead, and he thought it was the two young men just now.

"Brother Su, how are you?"

Hearing Brother Xiang speak, Cao Cao realized that it was Su Huangying who vomited blood. This mouthful of blood spit out, Su Huangying's body was crooked, and she fell down from the stone bench, her eyes were wide open, and her face was full of smiles, but she was no longer breathing.

Su Huangying didn't have time to answer Brother Xiang's words, but his wish had come true and he didn't take away a trace of regret.

Hearing the sound, the two suddenly shook off the supporter, ran quickly to the stone table, fell to their knees, and kowtowed to Su Huangying's corpse three times in a row.

People who have been lying for nearly a month have recovered so quickly, and it seems that the medicinal power of this thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum is really powerful.

In fact, Brother Xiang gave the two of them homemade medicine every day, and the two of them were in good health, so they were able to stand up and walk around ten days ago, but the internal injuries were serious and they needed to lie down and recuperate. But it is undeniable that the effect of this thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum is enough to withstand the effect of two people recuperating for two or three months.

Of course, these two people knew that it was their savior lying on the ground.

Seeing the two of them crying like rain, Brother Xiang said: "There will always be a moonrise and a moonset, how can flowers bloom without flowers?" Brother Su had a smile on his face, indicating that he saw that the two of them had recovered, and there were no regrets in his heart, you don't have to be too sad, go take a bath and change clothes, I will have something to say later." ”

Cao Hong and Li Ru helped the two of them up, and walked to the backroom while persuading.

While speaking, Brother Xiang asked Cao Cao to put Su Huangying's body on the stone bed, and then blew the flute, attracting countless butterflies to fly around the corpse, and now the only thing he could do was to see off Brother Su like this.

Brother Xiang melted all his sorrows into the sound of the flute, blowing and blowing, and there were two more lines of tears on his face.

Cao Cao's mood is also very heavy, although he has never even heard the name Su Huangying before, but when he meets in Pingshui today, he knows that he is a real man, but unfortunately good people don't live long!

For a while, the two were silent, and silence is better than sound at this time.

After a while, the two of them had finished bathing and walked over in clean clothes. At this time, the two of them were already walking like flying, like ordinary people, and they didn't need anyone's support at all, which shows that Hua Shenyi's thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum is really extraordinary.

Everyone sat down, and Brother Xiang finally broke the silence and asked, "Do you two know the 'Overlord Sword'?"

The two shook their heads together: "I haven't heard of it." ”

Brother Xiang's face was solemn, and there was an extremely painful look in his eyes, obviously recalling a past that he didn't want to look back, he coughed lightly, and said in a low and hoarse voice: "I'll tell you about the past, and you will listen to it together."

"Four hundred years ago, there was a Surabaya Pavilion chief who was arrested and imprisoned in Pei County for releasing prisoners without permission. According to the laws of Great Qin, he committed a capital crime, and he was executed immediately after the official document from above was issued. “

"It is also his life that should not be extinguished, the cell head who took care of him is named Xiahou Ying, and after getting along for a long time, he found that this person's speech and demeanor are extraordinary, and he is not an idle person, and he will become a big thing in the future, so he gave up the cell boss errand, and the two escaped together. With this life-saving grace, the two swore to be brothers, and swore to heaven that they would be blessed and share hardships. “

"Of course, this person is the later Gaozu Emperor Liu Bang, many years later he defeated the Western Chu overlord Xiang Yu, the establishment of the Han Empire, this Xiahou Ying first had the grace of saving his life, and then followed Gaozu all the way to make meritorious contributions, after the establishment of the Han Dynasty, the great reward of meritorious heroes, at this time Xiahou Ying is naturally the Marquis of Wanhu, the scenery is infinite. “

And when the overlord of Western Chu was defeated and trapped, all thoughts were lost, and he entrusted his only young son to his confidant Ji Bu, and let them escape across the Wujiang River, so that one day he could make a comeback, and handed over his personal sword to Ji Bu, so that he could swear an oath to the sword. “

After the death of Xiang Yu and his wife, Gaozu ordered Xiahou Ying to secretly hunt down Ji Bu and Xiang Yu's young son, who was already the world of the Han Dynasty at that time, where could Ji Bu hide? After hiding in Tibet for two months, they were finally captured. At that time, Ji Bu knelt in front of Xiahou Ying and wept bitterly, swearing to the sky that he was willing to exchange his life for the life of the young master. “

"The name of that sword is 'Overlord Sword', and it has followed Xiang Yu to fight for many years. Emperor Gaozu thought that Xiahou Ying's task was completed and his heart disease had been removed, so when he was happy, he gave this sword to Xiahou Ying. Later, Gaozu built the Calvary, sealed the Sword of the Son of Heaven, and ordered the world's famous craftsmen to build five swords, which were given to the five meritorious families, so that they could protect the Sword of the Son of Heaven for generations. ”

"Everyone in the world thought that five famous swords were cast at that time, but in fact there were only four, and the 'Overlord Sword' was always intact, it was the personal sword used by Xiang Yu. Of course, the sword of the overlord of Western Chu can be regarded as having 'surrendered' to the sword of the Son of Heaven, and Emperor Gaozu is extremely proud of his face, how can he still account for this. ”

"Since then, the 'Overlord Sword' has always been circulated in the Xiahou family. And that Jibu did not forget the old master's trust, not only raised his young master to adulthood, but also founded the 'Hongmen', with the purpose of anti-Han Xingchu, hey, Hongmen, Hongmen, from this name it can be seen that Xiang Yu's 'Hongmen Banquet' put the tiger back to the mountain, did not get rid of Liu Bang, in the eyes of Xiang's cronies is always a big regret. “

"In order to thank Xiahou Ying for his life, 'Hongmen' also set up a rule, that is, Hongmen disciples must never harm Xiahou people, if they violate, they will be punished by all disciples. However, in the following years, the fortunes of the Han Dynasty prospered, and how could there be a good opportunity for the 'Hongmen' to turn over? As the years went by, the descendants of the Xiang family became more and more depressed, and the matter of opposing the Han Dynasty and Xingchu gradually faded. “

"After a few more years, not to mention the anti-Han Xingchu, the descendants of the Xiang family even 'lost' the position of the head of the 'Hongmen', although the Xiang family is 'high', he is still the master of the 'Hongmen', in fact, he has become a puppet. Just eighteen years ago, there was another civil strife in the 'Hongmen', and the occurrence of this incident finally led the 'Hongmen' to a dead end. “

"At that time, the 'Hongmen' was jointly managed by Elder Zhang, Elder Lu and Elder Mi, Elder Zhang was the oldest, had the highest prestige, and was very popular; Elder Mi had no interest in the position of head at all, and was devoted to having an affair with his wife Wu; while Elder Lu coveted the position of head of the house, but this person was narrow-minded, violent and wanton, and he was scheming and unscrupulous in order to become the head of the house. He originally wanted to unite with Elder Mi, but was refused, so he turned to find Elder Zhang's eldest son, who was also extremely ambitious, and the two sides hit it off. ”

"The opportunity finally came, it was the night of the full moon on August 15, Elder Mi was happy to have a daughter, it was a good day for double happiness, but unexpectedly, disaster fell from the sky. The eldest son of Elder Lu and Elder Zhang first killed the entire family of the Xiang family, and then blamed Elder Mi, and led the crowd to besiege him in an 'open-minded and upright manner', and Elder Mi was outnumbered, seriously injured and fled, and his whereabouts are unknown. “

"I will never forget the events of that night. The moon was so round that night, I went to Brother Mi's house to say goodbye, and hugged his female baby, I remember clearly, the girl has a crescent-shaped birthmark on her left arm, the little guy is very cute, and I am also very happy, because my wife is also pregnant, and I will be a father in two months. “

"Oh, I still gave the girl's name. Who would have thought that this would be the last meeting between me and Brother Mi. What is even more unexpected is that when I returned home, my parents and pregnant wife had been killed by those two dog thieves, and I was anxious and red-eyed, and I fought with them, but how could I fight them? ”

"Fortunately, Elder Zhang picked me up from the pile of dead people, he usually respects my father and mother, and is polite to me, when he learned that it was his son who colluded with Elder Lu to do such a hurtful thing, he felt sorry for the Xiang family, and died depressed in a fit of anger. ”

"My whole family is dead, and I only have half a life left, no one is a ghost. I want to take revenge, but I can't do anything, my martial arts have been abolished, and they have also slashed more than a dozen swords on my face, and I have been seriously injured, and I have to hide everywhere to prevent those dog thieves from killing them. I hid alone in the mountains, when I was hungry, I picked wild fruits to satisfy my hunger, when I was thirsty, I held mountain spring water to drink, picked herbs to heal myself, and became a good doctor after a long illness, I not only cured myself, but also became interested in medical skills, after a long time, I slowly stopped thinking about revenge, hid in a remote town, and treated the villagers every day, and saved many people, and my life was fulfilling. “

When Brother Xiang said this, he was already in tears.
