Yufeng and the others all watched the whole process of opening his letter quietly, and they didn't even cough. Li Xiangru unfolded the letterhead, but saw that the handwriting on the letter was vigorous and upright, and the atmosphere was magnificent, and the handwriting on the cover was the same as the handwriting on the cover. I saw that the letter was extremely long, at least more than ten pages, and it was thick in my hand. The content reads like this:

"Like a child:

If God has mercy and there is hope for the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, you will be able to see this letter. Li Xiangru thought to himself: "What does Shigong mean by this?" and then looked down: "Thinking back to the old things, it's like a big dream." After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, I didn't want to be with the Tartars, so I came to Wudang to become a monk. Although people escaped into the Xuanmen, they could always think about recovering the Qing Dynasty, but the time had not yet come, and the conditions were not complete, so they had been postponed to this day, so that nothing was accomplished, which was a lifelong regret. But the sky does not die in the Ming, and twenty years ago, I actually found out that the third prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Sanzi, was still in the world, and established the Later Ming Dynasty in the south, so I pretended to travel in the name of Yunyou, all the way to Guangxi, found the third prince Zhu, and taught him Wudang kung fu, a few months. Although I and the third prince have the reality of master and apprentice, but there is no name of master and apprentice, he is the king of my Ming Dynasty, I am a courtier, and my status is different, so I cannot be called a master and apprentice. But the third prince is a benevolent and honest gentleman, and he respects me very much. Later, I had something to do with Wudang and said goodbye to the third prince temporarily. But soon after returning to Wudang, he heard that the third prince was betrayed and encircled and suppressed by the Qing soldiers, and his life and death were unknown. Although I made many secret visits, there was still no news, and after many years, I thought that the third prince was no longer alive. ”

Li Xiangru thought to himself: "What did my master tell me about this, what is the third prince of Zhu, I haven't even heard of it." At this time, the third prince of Zhu has been killed by Kangxi for more than ten years, and has been slowly forgotten by the world, and the Qing government in order to cover up the tongue, for fear of causing the Han people to miss the old dynasty, so the people are not allowed to talk about the personnel of the previous dynasty, once discovered, they will be punished for serious crimes, due to multiple reasons, so Li Xiangru has never heard anyone talk about it after he arrived in Wudang.

Li Xiangru read the letter again and wrote: "Unexpectedly, one day ten years ago, I went to the northwest to handle an extremely important matter of my own door, but I heard rumors in the rivers and lakes that the third prince of Zhu was still alive and was captured by Wu Sangui in Kunming, Yunnan, and was being escorted to the apprentices of the Beijing master, and wanted to be handed over to the Kangxi Emperor for disposal. I was surprised and delighted when I heard this, and I was glad that there had been no news for many years, and that the third prince was still alive in the world, and that the great cause of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty had the backbone; what was surprising was that he had been captured by the traitor Wu Sangui, and Wu was ruthless, and I am afraid that there would be more than one luck. Thinking of this section, I was so anxious that I hurried back to Wudang from the northwest, explained the matter of the faction, and went to the capital non-stop to rescue the third prince of Zhu. ”

"After arriving in the capital, I visited Mijia and learned that the third prince of Zhu was imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department, and he had already set a date to be beheaded, and his princess was also beheaded with him. So I sneaked into the prison, and finally met the third prince and his wife in the prison, at this time he had been tortured to the point that he was not human, and the tendons and veins of his limbs had already been broken by Wu Sangui and became a waste. His princess was pregnant with Liujia and was about to give birth. This was beyond my expectations, and it would not be difficult to rescue any of them in prison, but it was impossible for him to free both of them from the heavily guarded prison, one of them was disabled and one pregnant. Later, the third prince made a difficult choice and begged me to take his wife, who was about to give birth. Although they have a heavy relationship between husband and wife, in order to keep the blood of the Zhu family, they can only separate if they are reluctant. ”

"But the princess is really a fierce woman, when she and I walked out of the cell not far away, I looked back and saw the third prince alone lonely and miserable and reluctant to give up, but decided to live and die with him, a family of three lived and died together, and I tried to persuade him to no avail. At this moment, a large number of Qing soldiers guarding the prison had already rushed to arrest me, and the situation was very critical. When I was about to leave, the third prince asked me for one last thing. ”

When Li Xiangru saw this, he was already moved by the steadfastness of the third prince and his wife and the benevolence of the Yushu Taoist, and couldn't wait to know the following plot, and the content of the back wrote: "The third prince said that he fled to Kunming after the defeat in Guangxi, pretended to be a commoner, assumed the pseudonym Li Shiyuan, and married the daughter of a local old Xiucai, and the girl's name was Wu Qingluan. When Li Xiangru saw this, he "chuckled" in his heart, and felt that the names of these two people were so familiar, as if he had heard them somewhere. But after he arrived in Wudang, he lost his memory, and he couldn't remember anything from before, and somehow, when he read the names of these two people, he felt as if he had a great relationship with himself. At this point, the hand holding the letter couldn't help but tremble slightly.

I saw that the letter also wrote: "The third prince said that I had a son with Wu Qingluan, and the child's name was taken by her grandfather, named Li Xiangru. When Li Xiangru read this, his whole body couldn't help but be shocked, and he cried out with an "ouch". Xun Yuhe and the others saw that his face suddenly turned pale, but it was inconvenient to disturb him, so they were secretly strange in their hearts.

Li Xiangru only felt that his mouth was dry, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and looked at the line again: "That child is still ten years old, and he has disappeared long before my husband and wife caught Wu thief, and the child has a crescent-shaped birthmark on his waist, which is the most easily identified." If he is alive, I ask the Taoist to help me find him, raise him as an adult, and leave a vein of blood for my Zhu family. When Li Xiangru read this, he reached out and picked up his shirt, and saw the crescent-shaped birthmark on his waist, which was exactly the same as what was said in the letter, and thought: "Could it be that I am the son of the third prince Zhu mentioned in the letter, isn't this a dream?"

The letter added: "I made a promise at that time, and I also made an oath, the purpose of which was to reassure the third prince and his wife, and this was the only thing I could do for them." The third prince finally said, if the child is still in the world, I hope that I will not teach him martial arts, do not tell his true identity, and let him be an ordinary person for the rest of his life. The reason why the third prince said this is because once the child knows his life experience, he wants to avenge his parents and regain the past for the Ming Dynasty. I couldn't bear to say no, so I had to say yes. But how hard and painful it is to keep such a promise, I asked myself if I couldn't do it, so I left this letter anyway. ”

The more Li Xiangru looked down, the more shocked he became, and the letter said: "The third prince and his wife were beheaded in the capital to show the public, on the day of the execution, the crowd was crowded, and the people heard that the third prince would be executed, and they all came to watch, and learned that the princess who was about to give birth would be hanged, one corpse and two lives, and the viewers all wept, and all hated the cruelty and tyranny of the Qing court. At this time, I have found out that the orphan of the third prince is still alive like you. So rushed to the entrance of the vegetable market, about to be executed, at this time someone suddenly came to rob the law field, the scene was suddenly chaotic, in the chaos, the Qing soldiers in order to prevent the third prince and his wife from being robbed, they desperately shot arrows, and the people on the spot were killed or injured. In the midst of the chaos, I saw a little boy about ten years old in shabby clothes desperately squeezing towards the execution platform, looking at his figure and age, he visited the orphan Li Xiangru mentioned by the third prince, and rescued the boy from the crowd. At this time, the Qing soldiers took advantage of the situation to cut off the head of the third prince and hang the princess who was pregnant with Liujia. ”

When Li Xiangru read this, he couldn't help but tremble all over, and tears fell down his face. Although he had no memory of the situation described in the letter, it was too miserable, and he felt that there was no more tragedy in the world.

The letter also read: "After I rescued you, I picked up your clothes and saw the crescent-shaped birthmark on your waist, confirming that you are Li Xiangru, a descendant of the Ming family. At that time, you may have fainted because you witnessed the tragic death of your parents, and you were severely stimulated. I brought you back to Wudang, and when you came to your senses, you forgot everything before. ”

Li Xiangru thought to himself: "I don't remember what happened before, but what my master said is true." Wiping the tears in his eyes, he read again: "At that time, I thought, it's good that you forgot the past, the previous experience was too painful and bizarre, just imagine how you can withstand such a heavy blow as a child, and I no longer worry about whether to tell you about your life experience." If I don't tell the truth, I will feel uneasy, and if I do, I will break my promise to the third prince. I'm in a dilemma, it just so happens that you have amnesia, and I have been buried in my heart for this matter, and no one has said anything. Because your background is too special. Once the news is leaked, both you and Wudang will be destroyed. But there is one thing I still disobey the third prince's entrustment, that is, I ordered Yuhe to take you as an apprentice and teach you martial arts. Because you are a good seedling to practice martial arts, it is a pity to waste it, if you practice a good martial arts, maybe one day it will come in handy. ”

"Unexpectedly, there were unforeseen circumstances in the sky, but you fell off the cliff, I sent people to search desperately, but I still didn't find the slightest. Years have passed, and I think you are no longer alive. But I'm still not reconciled, and I still hold on to a little hope. Hope you can come back one day. Otherwise, when I go to Jiuquan in the future, what face will I have to see the third prince. For this reason, I feel guilty and self-blaming every day, and I am tormented by my soul. ”

Li Xiangru saw that the words on the letter were still stained with tears, and it should be that the chief of Yushu Dao was crying while writing, so that the letter paper was wet. Li Xiangru also burst into tears. Yufeng, Xun Yuhe and others were even more surprised when they saw this.

The letter concluded: "I will not be alive soon, and I cannot bear to take something of this magnitude underground, and if you do not come back, nothing will happen to you." If you can return to Wudang, you will see this letter, your life experience, determines your fate, and also determines your responsibility. It's up to you to decide how you want to go from here.

Writing this, my heart is comforted a little. Wudang Yushu worships. ”

The letter ended up with a year, a month, and a day.
