Sima Guyun ordered someone to help Wei Chongshan off the horse, and sat on a chair in the hall, his left arm was broken by the force of the yin wind and palm, and someone in the beggar gang knew how to connect bones, so he helped him straighten the broken bones and bandage them properly.

Zhu Xiangru said: "This Wei Chongshan Wei brother I met on the way back to the city. The beggars introduced the beggars to Wei Chongshan, and told how they met the Longmen Four Evils in the forest to chase and kill Wei Chongshan, and the beggars heard that Zhu Xiangru killed the Longmen Four Evils and avenged their parents' great revenge, and they came forward to congratulate them.

Wei Chongshan stared at Zhu Xiangru for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Dare to ask the name of the young man Lingzun?" Zhu Xiangru hesitated for a moment and said: "My father's surname is Li Mingshiyuan, and he was killed twelve years ago, and the four evils of Longmen are one of the murderers. ”

Wei Chongshan's heart thumped, and he said in a trembling voice: "How was Ling Zun killed by a traitor, can you please tell Shaoxia?" When the beggars heard him ask very carefully, they showed a very peculiar look on their faces, and they couldn't help but beat the drum in their hearts, thinking: "What does this person mean by asking the truth about the son's life experience?"

Zhu Xiangru's heart moved slightly, and he groaned slightly, and said: "The death of my father is a strange case through the ages. Why does Brother Wei care so much?" Wei Chongshan said: "I came out to find a son with a secret and noble identity on the orders of my father, and I heard that the son is also surnamed Li, and his age is similar to that of Shaoxia, so I asked a few more words, please don't care." Zhu Xiangru said: "Brother Wei came from Lancang, thousands of miles away, just to find someone, who is that person, who actually bothered you so much, and almost took your life?"

Wei Chongshan looked around at Zhu Xiangru and the beggars, and said, "This person has a special identity, and it is inconvenient for me to confide in his true background." Besides, I have never met him, but my father sent me out to find him to preside over the overall situation. I heard that the people in the beggar gang are all benevolent and righteous, and they are all heroes who advocate against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and the son is my savior, so I told the truth what I said. ”

Sima Guyun said: "Since everyone is like-minded, please Brother Wei speak up, and we will definitely keep our mouths shut and will not leak half a sentence." Wei Chongshan nodded and said, "Sima Duo's words are like a mountain, and he will be relieved to be in the future." Then he said: "My father's name is Wei Xinglong, and he was originally an old minister of the former Ming Dynasty. Zhu Xiangru jumped in his heart, and the group of beggars glanced at each other again.

Wei Chongshan said: "More than 20 years ago, my father was originally an important minister in front of the third prince who was the emperor in Guangxi, serving left and right. Later, due to the betrayal of traitors, the Ming family was surrounded and suppressed by the Qing soldiers, and my father was separated from the third prince in the process of protecting the third prince to break through. He was seriously wounded, and several guards were chased and killed by Qing soldiers, and then fled to the Lancang area to survive. After the matter calmed down, my father searched everywhere about the whereabouts of the third prince, but there was no news, and there were many rumors among the people, some said that the third prince had died in the war, some said that the third prince became a monk, and some said that he was incognito, willing to be a common man, and had no intention of restoring the Han people. My father was looking for the third prince and collecting the remnants in order to make a comeback. Seeing that the Lancang Mountain is high and steep, the terrain is dangerous, and the location is remote, and it is the most hidden place to hide the world and cultivate obscurity, so he preached the idea of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty in the Lancang area. ”

Twelve years ago, news suddenly came from the rivers and lakes that the third prince of Zhu was captured by Wu Sangui in Kunming and taken to the capital to be handed over to the Manchu emperor for disposal. When my father heard the news, the third prince had arrived in the capital, so under his planning, he sent more than 100 heroes in the rivers and lakes to the capital to rescue, I was only nineteen years old at the time, and under my desperate plea, my father finally agreed to let me participate. In this rescue, my father was supposed to lead everyone to participate, but due to the recurrence of old injuries, he really couldn't travel long distances, so he couldn't make the trip. After a group of us rushed to Beijing, we wanted to go into the prison to rescue, but the prison was too tightly defended and could not be attacked, so we changed to the rescue on the day of the beheading of the third prince. ”

Zhu Xiangru recalled the scene of that day, there were many masked and black-clothed people who came to rob the Dharma Field, which caused chaos in the audience, and Uncle Yushu rescued himself back to Wudang in the crowd, and couldn't help but feel excited, and couldn't help but say: "It turns out that you also participated in the robbery of the Dharma Field that day." ”

Wei Chongshan nodded and said, "I was very young at that time, a few years younger than Li Shaoxia, and my martial arts were not at home, so I had to respond to the arrangement in the periphery." ”

Speaking of this, Wei Chongshan sighed and said, "Although we tried our best and more than 20 brothers died, we still failed in the end and failed to rescue the third prince and his wife. Zhu Xiangru said: "You rushed to Beijing City to rescue you at the cost of your lives, which shows a pure heart." ”

Wei Chongshan said: "Having said that, but after all, the third prince was not rescued, we were all very sad, after we escaped the pursuit of the Qing soldiers, we gathered in the eastern suburbs of Beijing, and discussed that although the third prince could not be rescued, but he could not be exposed to the West City after his death, and no one claimed it." The most pitiful thing is that the mother of the third prince was pregnant with a child in her belly at that time and was about to give birth, which is the news that we only found out when we arrived in the capital. Zhu Xiangru listened to it and couldn't help but burst into tears.

Wei Chongshan added: "At night, we left the wounded brothers in the woods to rest, and the rest sneaked into the city. I saw that under the night, the bodies of the third prince and Niangniang were still in place, as if they had never moved. His head was far away from the body. Zhu Xiangru heard that after the death of his parents, no one cared about the corpses, his heart was like a knife, and tears flowed down his eyes. Wei Chongshan was so sad that he saw him, although he was surprised in his heart, he didn't stop: "We just rushed to the edge of the torture platform, but when we heard a shout, we were surrounded by hundreds of Qing soldiers all of a sudden. It turned out that the Tartars expected that we would snatch back the bodies of the third prince and his wife, so they used this as bait to hunt us all down. We fought hard, killed and wounded more than a dozen brothers, and finally snatched the bodies of the third prince and his wife out under the cover of night, and buried them together in the evergreen forest in the eastern suburbs. Hey, evergreen, a generation of emperors has finally been evergreen in that forest, just like ordinary people. Wei Chongshan was not very embarrassed when he said this.

Zhu Xiangru only knew about the burial place of his parents at this time, and finally couldn't help crying loudly, and the beggars also shed tears. Wei Chongshan saw Zhu Xiangru and the beggars crying one after another, thinking that they were thinking about the old Ming, but seeing Zhu Xiangru crying very sadly, and then thinking about Zhu Xiangru's age and demeanor, he couldn't help but ask: "Shaoxia is crying sadly, what is the relationship with the third prince?"

Sima Guyun wiped his tears with his sleeve and said, "Brother Wei, don't you know that Gongzi is the descendant of the third prince and the young master of the Ming family. Wei Chongshan was taken aback, and said in a trembling voice: "Really?" Sima Guyun said: "How can such a big thing be nonsense." Wei Chongshan hurriedly struggled out of the chair, prostrated on the ground, and kowtowed: "The subordinates see the young master, I don't know in advance, the crime deserves death, and I ask the young master to forgive the sin." ”

Zhu Xiangru hurriedly picked him up and said, "Brother Wei doesn't have to be polite, you are seriously injured, get up quickly." Help Wei Chongshan back to the chair and sit down. Wei Chongshan said with tears in his eyes: "My father has been looking for the young master for more than ten years, God has eyes, and today he finally found it." ”

Zhu Xiangru said: "Brother Wei, how did Ling Zun learn about me and send you out to find it?" Wei Chongshan said: "Young Master, you and I are different from each other, don't call me big brother again, I can't afford it." Zhu Xiangru said: "My life experience is zero, although I am an emperor, but I have also been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and I am used to the behavior in the rivers and lakes." Since he is a person in the rivers and lakes, he is not bound by those worldly rituals. Your father and son are loyal to my Ming family, and it is only natural for me to call you Brother Wei together. You are a bold person, don't dwell on such small things. ”

Wei Chongshan saw that he was serious, so he had no choice but to comply. continued: "More than a month ago, we got information from the rivers and lakes that the descendants of the third prince were still alive, and they had arrived in Kunming to gather the Han people to make a big move to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. When my father learned about it, he sent me to Kunming with more than a dozen people, one as an outpost to find out whether the news was real, and if so, I must take the lead; My father is about to be 70 years old, and he has many injuries. I am afraid that I will die soon, and I will not see the success of the great cause of regaining my sight, and I will regret it for life. ”
