Chapter 52: The Death of the Messenger
Zong Hangyao saw that Fang Xiaodao didn't understand it, and he didn't break it, he just said a plausible word: "Grinding plate, you can't just turn around and stop." ”
When Fang Xiaodao heard this, he felt that something was wrong, because even if it wasn't like pushing and grinding, it could still exert force for a long time, and this was not the only way. If you can't figure it out, you don't want to think about it, and you can just think about it slowly in the future.
Zong Hangyao smiled: "If you figure it out, I won't ask this question today." ”
Fang Xiaodao saw that he was a little deliberately embarrassed, so he thought that it must be a reason that was not difficult to imagine, and he was taken into the ditch by Zong Hangyao.
Zong Hangyao said: "You don't have to think about it, you will know in the future." At the moment, you and I are not having enough time drinking, so it is better to have a good drink. ”
Fang Xiaodao has recently found that he has been drinking a lot, and he is becoming more and more greedy. So they readily agreed, and the two of them went to Zong Hangyao's place to drink.
Zong Hangyao does not discourage drinking alcohol, two people each have a bottle, drink if you want, and if you don't want to drink, you can use the wine in the mirror. This kind of demeanor of not forcing others is different from Qin Bugui; Qin Bugui is free and easy, but he is very domineering. If Qin Bugui drinks with others, he will definitely be so arrogant that he will get himself drunk, but before that, first get the people who drink together. Zong Hangyao has a kind of Taoist priest's quiet inaction, which is diametrically opposed to Qin Bugui. Qin Bugui was back then, but he fought wherever he went; he had his own standards for judging good and evil, and who should be killed and who should not be killed was measured by his own standards.
Fang Xiaodao likes the stories of heroes very much, but there are not many heroes in this world, so Zong Hangyao should tell the story of Qiu Yefeng. Fang Xiaodao presented a picture of the fierce and fierce three hundred years ago. Later, the two of them unconsciously praised four or five catties of wine in the hero's story.
At the time of parting, Zong Hangyao sent the punch again: "This time, do you see it?"
It seemed that his mind was more active after drinking, and Fang Xiaodao soon found that the power of his moves that was circling around never stopped. Moreover, his moves are not very fast, very rhythmic, but they can be said to be very slow.
Fang Xiaodao said: "It's like pushing and grinding is not just a push, this move is endless. Inexhaustible strength is the last defense, and only in this way can we seize the opportunity at all times. It seems that the strength is always insufficient, but the ability to dial thousands of pounds in four or two is originally skillful. And most importantly, if a person is always thinking about how to be opportunistic, he will definitely be a little slower when making a move. And this is like the continuous surrounding power of pushing and grinding, which just seizes the opportunity and makes up for the shortcomings of boxing. After finishing speaking, he paused and said: "This is just some superficial thoughts of the juniors, and it is not worth it." ”
Zong Hangyao smiled and nodded, "You are amazing, you are very powerful." Everyone in the world knows that the internal strength of your vein is the best in the world, but I didn't expect that the fist and foot kung fu is so unfathomable. I want to ask, do you have a name for your boxing?"
Fang Xiaodao thought for a while, his fists and feet were all created by Qin Bugui's own strengths. It includes the moves of almost all of the countless schools that exist, and while useful against the enemy, it is difficult to become an independent faction. As for the name, it is very difficult, and the stolen thing cannot give him a high-sounding name from the origin. So Fang Xiaodao smiled: "I can't think of this, do you have any good ideas for your predecessors?"
Zong Hangyao sighed slightly: "It's not easy to cut down the complicated and simplified boxing technique, not to mention that you and I are in the Qiu family dynasty at the moment, it's better to take the name of Qiu!
Fang Xiaodao said with a smile: "Pick up the new standard, delete the complicated and simplify, the predecessor really took a good name! If someone asks about the name of this boxing method in the future, I will definitely tell him this name." ”
Zong Hangyao said with emotion: "In a hundred years of life, I have passed most of it. When I was a teenager, I was just like you, a little high-spirited and not afraid of trouble. Now the will is gone, but only nostalgia remains. I always think about what kind of regret something left behind by a certain thing in the middle of the night, and this is the last thing I can do in old age. ”
Fang Xiaodao thought about it for a long time, he still didn't understand Zong Hangyao's parting words, could it be that old age really only left memories to live! Maybe it was just because he was different from others, thinking of this, Fang Xiaodao suddenly felt as if he had missed something again. After thinking about it, I suddenly regretted that I didn't ask about the tears of the lake.
Fang Xiaodao walked to the door of Ding Jianliang's house, and suddenly found that there were several more carriages at the door. The carriage of Daomachuan is different from the Central Plains, it is very spacious, and it doesn't care how well it is decorated, it must be strong and durable, a bit like a chariot.
Walking into the courtyard, there were more than a dozen people drinking, around a small table, eating a very simple meal. Ding was busy taking care of the guests, and after seeing Fang Xiaodao, he said, "Shaoxia, have you eaten?"
Fang Xiaodao not only ate, but also drank, so he nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry about me, I've already eaten and drunk enough." ”
Ding said with a smile: "These are all my own brothers, and they caught up with the sacrifice, so they came to sit at home." ”
Fang Xiaodao knew that these people were all from Shahe Buye, and they didn't seem to be very old, so they should be the same generation as the Ding family.
A man with a white face and a beard on his chin suddenly said, "Hey, this friend surnamed Fang, come and sit down and have a few drinks!"
Fang Xiaodao had already drunk a lot of wine, and said with a helpless smile: "Although I saw that you suddenly had a feeling of being drunk, I didn't want to have a drunken drink with you when I was about to get drunk." ”
Another guy who was about the same age as Fang Xiaodao suddenly laughed, "Oh, really?"
Fang Xiaodao had an ominous premonition, they might really want to get themselves drunk first.
So, Fang Xiaodao was surrounded by a group of people, so insensitive that he didn't know how much he drank, in short, before he got drunk, he remembered that his stomach was full.
Most drunken people will have a good dream, regardless of whether they wake up with a headache or not, that dream is the pursuit of a good drinker. Fang Xiaodao dreamed that he was living a happy life with two women, although this dream was a bit dirty, but I had to admit that it was a beautiful dream.
When he woke up, there were several people arguing outside the door. I only listened to a middle-aged man who was full of energy: "It's really promising, there are more than a dozen of you, and none of them were awake last night." Even one person can prove that who will believe you now. ”
A very disapproving voice said, "Dad, I look down on my sons too much." Although he got us all drunk, he was already talking gibberish, and he must have been drunk. Besides, he is lying in bed now, and he knows that he is drunk earlier than us!"
Fang Xiaodao seemed to have forgotten how he got drunk yesterday and how he came in to sleep. But I heard them say that I just thought that I put down a few people last night.
Fang Xiaodao stood up and walked out, his legs trembling a little, this time he had indeed drunk too much.
Outside is a very murderous middle-aged man, very familiar. After Ding Jianliang left yesterday, he came out to threaten Hu Envoy. Thinking about it carefully, this person is definitely the leader of the Shahe tribe, and it is natural for him to be angry for his son-in-law.
This person glanced at Fang Xiaodao and said helplessly: "It's all drunk and unsteady, you have to drink ten catties!"
Fang Xiaodao felt that there might really be ten catties before and after, and few people could not get drunk when they drank like this. So he nodded and said, "Yes, there are ten catties." ”
The man said, "My name is Anjingshan, have you heard of me?" ”
Ding said: "Father, Fang Shaoxia is not very familiar with Dao Ma Chuan when he first came. ”
An Jingshan said: "Don't talk, I didn't ask you." ”
Fang Xiaodao shook his head and said, "Offended, I really haven't heard of it." ”
An Jing patted the pillar under the eaves and said: "Something without conscience, I married my heart to him, but he didn't even think about me, and he didn't even mention it." ”
Fang Xiaodao has been living in Ding's house since he entered Daomachuan, and his understanding of Daomachuan also began with Ding Jianliang's dictation. So it is not difficult to guess that if he didn't know about An Jingshan, the feudal tycoon, it must be Ding Jianliang's intention to bypass it.
Fang Xiaodao was stunned for a moment and said: "It's Lao Ding, he's been too busy lately, so he didn't have time to tell me about it! But he said that his father-in-law is a kind old man, he treats people very well, and he is also kind to him." ”
An Jingshan didn't seem to believe it, but he seemed to be happy when he heard this, and said with a smile: "I still don't know about this guy who has no conscience, so don't excuse him." ”
Yesterday there were more than a dozen An family brothers, but today there are only two left, one is the white-skinned man with a beard, and the other is the one who is about the same age as Fang Xiaodao. It turned out that these two people were born to the same mother as Ding, and they were the sons of Anjing Mountain. An Jingshan has many wives and sons, but he only has one daughter. Therefore, this Miss An has been spoiled by everyone since she was a child. More than a dozen brothers like her, and if there are any good things on weekdays, give them to her first. Moreover, the wives and concubines of Anjing Mountain also regarded this only daughter as a treasure, because although the son is precious, too many are also annoying. On the contrary, there is only one daughter, and she is not afraid of spoiling her.
The bearded man came over and said, "In Xia An Junchang." Before Fang Xiaodao could respond, the young man said: "My name is An Juntong, you can call me Brother Jun." ”
Fang Xiaodao said with a smile: "It's an honor to be able to meet everyone in the An family. ”
An Jingshan said: "Don't be honored, if you don't know my dozen or so unsuccessful things, maybe you won't get into trouble." ”
Fang Xiaodao said, "Oh, what trouble did I get into again?"
An Jingshan said: "The envoy of the Central Plains was assassinated last night, and the murderer used a long sword, and I heard that the sword was as sharp as clay. ”
Fang Xiaodao was stunned for a moment and said, "No, there is no second person in the entire Dao Ma Chuan who has a good sword, right?"
An Jingshan said helplessly: "Young man, you really drank too much wine, why don't you take a look, your sword is still there?"
Fang Xiaodao was taken aback, but he didn't turn around to see if his sword was there, because the answer was already clear. A person like An Jingshan would never talk nonsense, so the sword must have been at the scene of the killing.
Fang Xiaodao had nothing to say, standing there, feeling the hostility of Dao Ma Chuan.
After the end, Ding said: "Don't worry, young man, I think that the son and wife in the future are also deliberately pressuring this matter, otherwise my father will not come at this time." ”
An Jingshan said: "Of course, the prince will not be ungrateful, but this matter is very important, so you have to set off with me immediately, and we will go to Shahe first." ”
Fang Xiaodao said: "Is there no other way?"
An Jingshan said: "Yes, that is, to find the real culprit immediately." It's not impossible, I saw Zong Hangyao when I came, he was very concerned about this matter, and he had already gone to check. ”
Fang Xiaodao said: "The ancestors of the sect are well-informed, but in the face of this kind of major matter related to the imperial court, I am afraid that there is no good way!"
An Jingshan said: "Not many people know about this matter now, and the prince of the world refuses to allow anyone to visit today. But this kind of thing spreads so fast that I guess you only have that one day. In any case, you can't be anywhere in the royal court tomorrow. ”
Fang Xiaodao felt that except for okrao, there was no one in Daomachuan who had a deep hatred for him, so the first thing he suspected was okokrao. Fang Xiaodao said to An Jingshan: "Then thank you Senior An, I still want to give it a try, before midnight today, if I can't find the reason, I will definitely not appear in the royal court." ”
An Jingshan said: "Tonight, my two sons will be waiting for you in the Black Wind Forest, you can't forget." ”
Fang Xiaodao nodded and said, "Thank you, senior." ”
Wherever you go, it may be a kind of ability, Fang Xiaodao is very depressed why would he become a murderer if he sleeps. And he is the murderer who provoked the contradiction between Daomachuan and the Central Plains, which is already regarded as the common sinner of Daomachuan and the Central Plains.
I made a big drape, and then wore a big brimmed felt hat that is common in Daomachuan. He covered almost all of his face, and no one could recognize him as long as he kept his head down. So, Fang Xiaodao went out like this and went to find okrao.
Just like the tiger of Daomachuan can't take a nap, people can't be considered easy to bully. Fang Xiaodao felt that he was being kind, so he would make Okra mistakenly think that he could handle it casually. So this time he didn't jump in from the hidden place, but when he reached the door, he flew the two guards into the door along with the gate. After defeating more than a dozen people along the way, I finally saw okrao.
Okra asked curiously: "Who are you, why did you come to my house to spread wild?"
Fang Xiaodao said coldly: "Your memory is really bad. ”
Okra was taken aback and said, "What are you going to do?"
Fang Xiaodao said: "I want to ask you, what do you want to do?"
Okra asked everyone to retreat, and then said after a while: "That's the way it is, I naturally won't let you go, but you don't have to be too polite to me, you can also kill me." ”
Fang Xiaodao said: "I can tolerate your plots, but if you still want to kill people with a knife like killing your husband, it will be too boring." ”
Okra said, "What the hell do you mean?"
Fang Xiaodao felt that this matter might not have been done by okrao, and he should not expose himself. So he said in an extremely rampant tone: "You must not think that if you steal my sword, you can easily kill me, you can try, although it is not very fast, it must be very painful." ”
Okra said: "It's a happy event that your sword was stolen, but it has nothing to do with me, I'm not interested in your sword." ”
Fang Xiaodao said: "Yes, but you should at least be interested in killing me, so you will definitely not let go of such an opportunity." ”
Okra sneered: "Yes, but I'm just a woman, and I'm still pregnant. I just want a way to kill you with less effort, but I will never go out of my way to steal a sword, and your sword is not easy to steal. ”
Fang Xiaodao suddenly felt that it was really unwise to come to find okrao, because the person who could steal the sword by his side could easily kill him. And if there is such an opportunity, Okra will definitely kill him without hesitation, and there is no need to engage in such a frame-up situation.
But it was not good to leave when he came to ask the master for sin, and the okra did pose a threat to his life yesterday. So, Fang Xiaodao thought about it again and again, and suddenly slapped his palm towards the okrao.
Although the Ping Chao Palm is only a fake of the Flowing Flower Divine Palm, the complexity of its moves does not belong to the Flowing Flower Palm. A slap is extremely difficult to identify and difficult to guard against. Okra couldn't tell the difference between the Flowing Flower Divine Palm and the Tide Palm, only knowing that this palm was already difficult to resist. Only then did she realize that she had seriously underestimated Fang Xiaodao's strength, and such an internal force had already surpassed ordinary people's decades of cultivation.
After expiration, the knife would not kill a woman who was pregnant with Rokka, this palm only taught her a lesson, and she fell down. Fang Xiaodao said: "As long as there is retribution between heaven and earth, people who do evil will die, as a mother, why should you kill yourself!" After speaking, he swaggered out.
Since it wasn't okra who did it, who could it be? He asked himself if he hadn't offended too many people, and it wasn't easy to think about who he could bring benefit by framing himself.
Fang Xiaodao probably wouldn't have thought that the most difficult person at this moment was Qiu Zhangyi. Because the envoy of the Central Plains was killed, if a reasonable answer cannot be given as soon as possible, it means that the three-hundred-year friendship with the Central Plains court will be broken. Moreover, his immorality also meant the beginning of the turmoil in Daomachuan.
At the end of the leaf-covered path, a large old house came into view. Suddenly, a man dressed in white blocked Qiu Zhangyi's way. The man's beard was white, with only a few black hairs. He blocked there like a wall, which made Qiu Zhangyi immediately sullen. It's been half a year, and every time I want to get closer, someone will stop me, can't I even get close to my father!
The man said in a deep voice: "Childe, please go back, the prince will definitely not see you if he doesn't go out of the customs for a day." ”
Qiu Zhangyi suddenly said loudly: "Do you know that Daomachuan is already in chaos, at this time, can't I ask my father?"
This man said: "Then after a hundred years, who are you going to ask?"
Qiu Zhangyi choked, he knew that this was true, but the burden of Dao Ma Chuan weighed him down.
Qiu Zhangyi said: "Then, I beg you, ask our venerable Dharma Protector Elder. You go outside to see how those unruly chiefs of the tribes and patriarchs despise me as a son, and see how those with ulterior motives unscrupulously destroy the peace of Daomachuan. ”
The man's voice was unwavering, even like a stone coming from the middle, and he said without emotion: "When the prince was young, they also made trouble, but there was no major incident. ”
Qiu Zhangyi felt like he was incompetent no matter what he said, and no matter how hard he spoke, he still waged his tail and begged for mercy. Dao Ma Chuan, the masters in the palace, never seemed to be kind to anyone other than the Dao Ma King. It's just like a ruthless sword, a stone that wanders outside things. Since childhood, Qiu Zhangyi has known that they never care about your difficulties, if you can't learn martial arts, they will beat and scold, and if you can't read books, they will make you waste time even harder.
Qiu Zhangyi could only leave silently, he had never asked for face in front of this group of people, and he had no face in the first place.
As soon as he walked out, someone immediately ran over and said, "Shizi, the body of the envoy of the Central Plains is gone." ”
Qiu Zhangyi was shocked: "What, take me to see it." ”
Qiu Zhangyi was already in a hurry, and at this time he didn't even have a corpse, which could be regarded as offending the Central Plains Imperial Court to death. Once the incident happens, there is no need to think about whether Fang Xiaodao can be guaranteed or not, and Dao Ma Chuan will usher in an unprecedented chaos.
