10. Jade Face Spring (10)

Sima Guyun said: "The identity of the young master is extremely secret, and only the five of me know it in the rudder. I don't know what arrangements and plans the young master has next?" Zhu Xiangru said: "I have just arrived, the situation is not familiar, everything is at a loss, I don't know what Master Sima Helm has?"

Sima Guyun hesitated to answer, and Zhu Xiangru said: "Sima Duo Master has something to say, don't worry too much. I am new to the rivers and lakes, and I don't understand many things, I hope you will give me more suggestions, and I will humbly adopt and accept them. ”

Only then did Sima Guyun say: "The young master has already said this, so I will say it directly." Zhu Xiangru said: "Please say that the helmsman is." Sima Guyun said: "In fact, the gang leader also said in the letter: 'The young master does not know much about the affairs in the rivers and lakes, and hopes to help the gang leader get to know more friends in the rivers and lakes, and contact the gang members who are determined to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. It's just that no matter what, only the young master must look forward. What does the young master command, we are a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, and we will not frown. ”

Zhu Xiangru said: "Dare to ask who is your helper's surname?" She Yuangang said: "Our helper's surname is Song Mingzi, and he was appointed more than three years ago. Zhu Xiangru said in a lost voice: "It turned out to be Brother Song." Sima Guyunqi said: "It turns out that the young master and our helper know each other. Li Xiangru thought to himself: "I was also your acting helper, but you don't know me." "In fact, more than ten years ago, when the acting gang leader was elected in the western suburbs of Beijing, Sima Guyun and the deputy helmsman Chen Yizhou were also on the spot, but it was night, there were a large number of people, and they couldn't see the situation on the stage, plus Zhu Xiangru was only ten years old at the time, and he disappeared inexplicably after only a few months as the acting gang leader, and after more than ten years, he no longer recognized him.

Zhu Xiang was inconvenient to explain when he was like this, so he only said: "I had a relationship with the Song Gang Leader many years ago, but I haven't seen each other for a long time. Sima Guyun said: "The young master and the Song gang leader will meet soon, and they will be able to talk freely at that time." Zhu Xiangru said happily: "Is Brother Song coming to Yunnan?" Sima Guyun said: "Young master, the meaning of the gang leader is to distribute the hero post in the name of the beggar gang, and it is scheduled to be held on the first day of October in eastern Yunnan half a year later, and the martial arts conference will be held in the portable shrine peak in eastern Yunnan. I don't know what to do?"

Zhu Xiangru groaned: "So very good, the beggar gang is the first big gang in the martial arts, the gang is all over the world, and the beggar gang is known for its chivalry. Sima Guyun said: "So the young master agreed?" Zhu Xiangru said: "Agreed, I can also secretly make friends with various sects and factions in Yunnan during this time, and make friends with heroes from all walks of life first, and then I can get twice the result with half the effort." ”

Cai Xiaofei said: "The young master has a plan, and we feel a lot more at ease." What he meant was that he was afraid that Zhu Xiangru was young and inexperienced, coupled with his noble birth, from a famous family, arrogant, and unwilling to hand it in, it would be difficult to achieve great things. He didn't know that Zhu Xiangru's experience was complicated, and he was not comparable to ordinary royal nobles.

Zhu Xiangru knew his intentions, smiled faintly, and said: "Master Sima Helm, elders, in order to avoid others from being suspicious and causing unnecessary trouble, please don't call me a young master in the future, just call me a son." Sima Guyun stood up, and several people said in unison: "Obey!"

A few people talked about some stories about the rivers and lakes, and Sima Guyun said: "Childe has lived in this small shop for a long time, it is very inconvenient, it is better to move to the beggar gang to live, we can serve Childe sooner or later." Zhu Xiangru shook his head and said, "It's not appropriate." Wouldn't it be even more suspicious that a stranger suddenly lived outside the gang in the rudder. You don't have to pay attention to my whereabouts, I have my own opinions. I will contact you if necessary. Sima Guyun said: "If we have something important to find the son, how should we find the law?" Zhu Xiangru said: "I remember that there is a bridge on the east side of the Green Lake called Caiyun Bridge, I wonder if the bridge is still there?" Cai Xiaofei and the others heard that he actually recognized Caiyun Bridge, glanced at each other, and showed a strange look on their faces.

Sima Guyun nodded and said: "It's a hundred-year-old bridge, everyone in the local area knows it, so it's naturally there." Zhu Xiangru said: "If you have something urgent to find me, you will draw a pattern with white chalk above the first culvert under the Caiyun Bridge, which is a double fish pattern, which is the symbol of Wudang Taiji, so that I will come to the rudder to find you." "The Wudang Tai Chi pattern is widely spread in the rivers and lakes, and people in the rivers and lakes know it. Chen Yizhou said: "But how does Childe know when we are going to look for you, when do you know that we have drawn a pattern on the bridge?"

Zhu Xiangru smiled slightly and said, "You don't have to worry, I have my own sense of proportion, and I promise that I won't make a mistake." Sima Guyun said: "Our rudder is in the area of Wangjiaying in the east of the city. Then he told Zhu Xiangru the details. Zhu Xiangru already remembered it after listening to it once.

Seeing that it was noon, the five beggars got up to say goodbye, Zhu Xiangru sent them to the door, returned to the room, and ordered the little two to bring food to eat. I went to bed and slept until it was dark, got up, finished my stay, took a long sword, and went straight to the palace of Pingxi in the north of the city.

He wanted to go to the Pingxi Palace, cut off Wu Sangui's head, and avenge his parents. He searched all the way according to his memory, and after about half an hour, he came to the outside of the Pingxi Palace.

He recalled that more than ten years ago, in order to rescue his father and mother, he had been outside the palace for many days, and then he climbed in from the big locust tree on the outside of the wall, but he was caught by the ruthless little county lord, and ordered the Tibetan mastiff to bite himself to a bloody and scarred body, and then ordered someone to throw himself in the woods outside the city and fend for himself; he recalled that his father and mother were locked in a prison by Wu Sangui, tortured, and finally sent to the capital in a prison car, and beheaded in the market; he recalled that he once trusted "Uncle Wang" Wang Shihao betrayed his father and mother for the sake of glory and wealth, and at the same time betrayed his conscience, causing himself to die. He thought, thought, tears welling up in his eyes.

I'm no longer the country boy I used to be bullied and slaughtered. Today, I am a dignified prince of the Ming Dynasty, a martial arts master, and I am a supreme martial artist. Today, I will cut off the heads of all my enemies as sacrifices to the spirits of my parents in heaven.

Zhu Xiangru gritted his teeth and thought. Then he stretched out his sleeve and wiped the tears from his eyes. Jumped easily from outside the wall into the wall.

When he entered the palace, he found that the whole palace was pitch black, without a trace of light, and was overgrown with weeds that were tall and human-like, like a cemetery where no one had touched it.

Zhu Xiangru felt strange in his heart, and thought: "From the outside, the atmosphere of this palace is still magnificent, but why is it so desolate and dilapidated inside?" walked all the way along the stone path, came to the front of a building, and saw the plaque at the door with the three big characters of "White Tiger Hall" written on it by the faint light, which was originally the place where Wu Sangui was discussing, and now the door is closed, and he can no longer see the solemn and glorious atmosphere of the past.

When Zhu Xiangru was wondering, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the east side. With a flicker, he flashed behind the pillars. I saw a man dressed in a guard costume walking over with a lantern, and muttered: "There is not even a ghost in this ghost place, but I still have to send Lao Tzu to guard here, it's really damn bad." As he spoke, he took the lantern and looked around the house, then turned and left.

Zhu Xiangru bent down and picked up a small stone, flicked it lightly, the small stone flew in, and extinguished the lantern in the guard's hand, the guard thought that the wind blew out the lantern, cursed in his mouth, put the lantern on the ground, squatted down and took out the fire from his arms, and wanted to light the lantern again. Suddenly, I felt a chill on my head, and the hat on my head disappeared.

The guard was so frightened that he thought he had run into a ghost, and a cold sweat ran down his back, and he could no longer care about the lantern on the ground and the hat that flew away, and got up and tried to escape. As soon as he took two steps, he felt a cold light flashing in front of him, and a cold sword had already been placed on his throat, and the blade was shining under the starlight.
