Volume 1 Wisdom Fighting the Capital Chapter 17, The Eight Monarchs of Shuifu

Hearing that the second brother was hungry, he hurriedly asked the man on the boat to prepare a meal, and the three of them set up a round table at the bow of the boat to eat while admiring the moon. Zhu Wuneng hurriedly shouted to add vegetables. Wu Zhi knew the appetite of the second brother, and instructed the attendant to just serve the food endlessly, only to see the chicken, duck and fish meat on the table like flowing water, and the empty plates and plates were down the table like flowing water. Everyone on the boat was not surprised to see Zhu Wuneng eating so much, and the more than ten young men and girls who played and sang before were even more astonished, and there was a girl who saw Zhu Wuneng's eating appearance was really ugly, and couldn't help it, and finally sneered.

There was an old man named "Huang Shui Xing" on the ship, everyone called him "Lao Huang", who was the steward of this big ship. Xu Wuxi inquired about him, and Lao Huang told the three of them that the ship was originally carrying the eldest son of the prefect of Suzhou, and several of them were the children of the official gentry in Suzhou City, and there was a son with the surname of the eldest grandson who heard that he came from the capital, and it seemed that the pomp was even greater, and even the son of the prefect had to salute him. Their sons wanted to go to Taihu Lake to admire the moon on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, but on the way to the canal, they collided head-on with a small boat, and jumped up from the boat, a man and two women, who were Kang Youren, the young master of the Kangmen, and his two personal maids. When these people first got on the boat, they said that they were borrowing a boat, but they just asked a few sons to go down to the boat. But how could the prefect be willing to let the boat go? The two sides immediately started to move when they disagreed, and as a result, they took pity on those princes and grandsons, who were all beaten by Kang Youren and thrown into the water one after another. The others had no choice but to obey Kang Youren's instructions and rowed to the shore of Taihu Lake, and later saw that Kang Youren was stabbed by Qin Gufeng's sword, and he was so frightened that he fled. Everyone was originally worried in their hearts, worried that Kang Youren's gang would kill innocents indiscriminately, but when Qin Gufeng rescued him with a sword, they were all grateful to him inexplicably, and they later obeyed the words of Gufeng, Wuqi and Incompetence.

Lao Huang repeatedly thanked the three of them for saving their lives, but Qin Gufeng just smiled in return and ordered him to present all the good wine in the boat. On this night, the three of them, who are disease-free and incompetent, and Lonely Wind, all drank happily until they were drunk.

At noon the next day, the autumn sun was shining, and I woke up on the table without illness, drunk and worried. I saw that Zhu Wuneng was lying on the deck with his back to the sky, the dazzling sunlight shining on his bulging belly, emitting golden oil paint, and a few flies buzzing in his ears, impotent and unaware, still snoring like thunder. Wuxian shouted a few times: "Third brother!" but there was no trace of Qin Gufeng.

At this time, Lao Huang, the steward on the ship, stepped forward and said: "This son-in-law, the son-in-law in white has already woken up and left the ship early this morning, and he has a letter for the little one to hand over to the son-in-law." With that, he presented a letter to Xu Wuxi. Wu Zhi took the letter and asked: "We are obviously in the Taihu Lake, he left the boat, how to go?" Lao Huang smiled and said: "Master Yu, our boat is a first-class painting in Suzhou Mansion, and it was windy last night, so the boat went fast, and it has already arrived on the ground of Suzhou Mansion this morning." I wanted to go back to the prefect's yamen, but I didn't dare to wake up when I saw that the two sons were sleeping soundly, and the boat had been parked here for three hours. Wu Zhi apologized and said: "In this case, then my brother will go ashore, thank you for sending you all the way!" Lao Huang hurriedly bowed and returned the salute, and said with his fists: "Don't break Xiao Ke, we are just some inferior minions, but fortunately we were rescued by the three sons, and we were saved from the poisonous hands of the villains." Thanks to a few princes, the villains should have followed all the way and were sent by him, but the prefect was a powerful official, and now his family suddenly lost the eldest young master, and the villains didn't dare not go back...... "Lao Huang thought of going to the prefect's yamen, and he really didn't know how to tell him. The eldest prince lost his body and fell into the river, most of which were already in danger of his life. Under the anger of the prefect, he will inevitably blame and punish, but if he escapes, he will be suspicious, and it will be even more difficult to tolerate the ends of the earth. The road ahead is so dangerous, but he has to go, he is like the life of an ant, and it is so difficult to live in the world! Lao Huang was stunned in his heart, and he couldn't help but tears in his eyes. Seeing this, he hurriedly helped him up, and Wen Yan comforted him.

Wu Sick woke up Zhu Wuneng, the two hurriedly got off the boat and came to the shore, only walked a few steps, suddenly heard someone shouting behind them, and when they turned around, they saw Lao Huang rushing over again. Lao Huang handed Wuxian a green cloth burden, and Wuxian took it in his hand and checked it, only to feel very heavy. Lao Huang bent over and gasped and said:

"Childe...... This burden is not ...... If it's not on board, it's about ...... It's those gangsters, I'm going to see the official here, this thing must be ...... It must be worth some silver taels, so the prince should use it on the road, so ...... It's time for the villains to repay the princess for saving his life......"

Wu Xi hurriedly excused himself, but saw that Lao Huang had just finished speaking, and he had already turned around and walked back. There was no illness and helplessness, so he had to hand over the burden to Zhu Wuneng to take, and the two of them walked slowly towards Suzhou City.

opened the envelope without illness, and saw Qin Gufeng's vigorous and powerful handwriting leaping into his eyes:

My brother is above:

Brother walked in the Central Plains in the year of the bundle of hair, and saw many clever disciples, like a brother who was a gentleman, how many people in the world were there?

I heard that my brother wanted to go to the capital to complain, and my brother should have been on the side for driving. However, the family has a life, the younger brother does not dare to disobey, the west of the Qianguo, there is a gate of the Tianshan Mountains, its swordsmanship is superb, the world is unmatched, and the younger brother should go to see it.

The younger brother is gifted, has the eye of yin and yang, can understand the auspicious and evil things, and looks at my brother's life, which is unspeakably expensive, but the world is cold, and the journey is ill-conceived, only hope that my brother is good and cherishes himself! On the occasion of parting, the five are like burning, and they do not say goodbye, and they are still begging for the future! On the day of his annual gathering, the three of my brothers should be floating and white!

Brother Lone Wind paused!

August 17, 70th year of Kang Yuan

After reading the letter without illness, my heart was full of sadness. Zhu Wuneng said on the side: "Big brother, let's find a place and sleep for a while." Wuxian smiled: "From last night until now, you haven't woken up?" Zhu Wuneng said: "The board on the ship is too hard, it makes my shoulder hurt, and I still have a sore back!"

Although he has only known Zhu Wuneng for three days, he has no heart and is dull and cute, and he suddenly feels pity in his heart. At that moment, the two of them found a "Lianjiang Inn" in Suzhou City, and asked for a big room without illness, and Zhu Wuneng did not wait to take off his clothes and lie on the bed, and he was already snoring loudly in a few days. Wuzhi smiled, and at this time he felt a faint headache, thinking that he had a hangover last night and did not wake up, so he also fell down and fell asleep after a while.

I only slept for about an hour, and suddenly saw the door open by itself, and came in a gray-shirted old man, the old man had white hair, wrinkled face, rickety, gait dragon clock, and I don't know how old he lived, he walked into the room, and bowed down when he saw Xu Wuxi, and said: "Is this Xu Gongzi?" Wuxian hurriedly sat up and returned the salute, and said: "Junior, Xu Wuxian, dare to ask this old man who is ?......" The white-haired old man said: "Xu Gongzi, the little old man has something to ask for, I hope Gongzi must agree!" But please instruct, if you are not sick, you will do your best to be dull!" The old man said: "Don't hide it from the son, the little old man is the land here, just because he unintentionally offended the canopy that day, and now Marshal Tianpeng is here, where the old man eats, I am afraid that he will suffer tomorrow?......!" Xu Gongzi, don't ask so much, you will rush north tomorrow, you are about to pass through the Suzhou City God Temple, and when you get there, please restrain your brother, so that he cannot enter the temple gate no matter what, the little old man please Gongzi, Gongzi must not forget!" After that, the old man bowed down for a long time, and hurriedly reached out to help without illness, but he helped an empty one, and the old man was gone. He jumped up without illness, and then realized that he had just had a dream.

When I woke up, I realized that I had slept for most of the day, and now it was late at night, and the room was dark. He lit the oil lamp without illness, and couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the bed, Zhu Wuneng, who was lying down, had long since disappeared, but the bed was empty at this time.

I hurriedly ran out of the house without illness and went to inquire about the shopkeeper. Xiao Er shook his head one after another, but he didn't know, but an old man who lived in the hotel said that he had just come out to get up at night, and when he saw a fat man, he picked up a hoe and ran to the west angrily.

Sick out of the inn, walk briskly to the west, walked through three long streets in succession, suddenly saw a small lake in front of you, the lake is lush and green, full of peach trees, plum trees, through the grove, and a sparse bamboo forest. Wuzhi heard the faint sound of blades intersecting in the bamboo forest, and hurriedly ran forward, but saw Zhu Wuneng holding an iron hoe and fighting with a group of strange-looking people.

Zhu Wucan't swing the iron hoe with his hand, which is exactly the "force pulling out the mountain" in the "Xiang Wang Three Styles", but seeing that his moves are scattered, the iron hoe only knows how to swing and fight indiscriminately, and he has no sharpness at the demon hunting conference the day before, but he stumbles and stumbles everywhere, like a drunk. There were a total of eight people fighting with him, and they were probably afraid of Zhu Wu's incompetence, and they all performed their own light body kung fu, jumping up and down, jumping up and down and maneuvering with Zhu Wucan. Suddenly, a person jumped out of the battle circle, this person had a small head and a big body, less than four feet tall, and his back was high and bulging, looking like a hunchback. I saw him twist his beard slightly, shook his head and said:

"I said Tianpeng! You have been poisoned by my 'Nine Shadows Prison Soul Soup', and you have to work hard to support it, not only will you not be able to win if you continue to fight, but it will be detrimental to your true yuan, what good is it for you to be so stubborn? You just need to put down the hoe and go with us to meet the third princess, then we will put down our weapons, and everyone will turn enemies into friends, what do you think?"

That Zhu was incompetent, but he didn't hear it, and he fought endlessly. One of the eight was extremely thin and had a pointed head, and he shouted as he beat him: "Return to the boss, I don't think he will be obedient if he doesn't knock the canopy down." ”

But the boss shook his head and said, "No, no, no! miss me." What a hero, but today to eight people to beat him one, it is not a hero's doing, this matter is not to make the world laugh, this is not appropriate; before the three princesses just told us to see the canopy, but did not let me wait with the blade, if I accidentally hurt the canopy, I am afraid it will greatly damage the elegance of the three princesses, this is two inappropriate; today this canopy is not open, but it is a vulgar mortal, like us to chase and fight is really inappropriate, this is three inappropriate, there are these three inappropriate, we should not be entangled with the canopy today!”

But the man with a very thin body and a sharp head shouted strangely: "Boss, don't care what is right or wrong! If we don't beat him down today, he won't listen to us, and if he doesn't listen to us, how can we bring him back? If we don't bring him back, how can we explain to the third princess?"

At this time, a middle-aged woman in bright clothes and carrying a huge package on her body also jumped out of the circle, the blade in her hand was a slender soft silver whip, she shook the whip lightly, swinged away the thin man's short knife, and said: "Xia Laoer, the third princess just ordered us to take the canopy with us, but it didn't let us hurt him, you even used such a ruthless move, isn't it a personal vendetta!"

Xia Lao Er said angrily: "He Wuniang, don't spew blood! What enmity will I have with this plague pig?"

He Wuniang sneered: "It's not that you were bullied by him that year, and now you want to take revenge?"

Xia Lao Er wanted to defend loudly, but at this time, Boss Gui waved his hand, made a silent gesture, and said: "That's it, today's matter is difficult to do!

He Wuniang was puzzled: "Big brother, is something wrong?"

Gui Boss shook his head and sighed as he walked: "There are living people here, even if we have great intentions, we can only get the right and give up, hey......" After speaking, the short and hunchbacked Gui Boss, the figure disappeared, and the other seven people also disappeared, and there was silence in the bamboo forest for a while, as if these eight people had never appeared here.

Xu Wuxi walked quickly in front of Zhu Wuineng, but saw that Wuneng had lost his iron hoe, squatted down, humming and chirping in his mouth, as if he was sobbing softly, and seemed to be whispering: "Three princesses, three princesses, ......"

Wu Xian shouted: "Second brother, you can't sleep late at night, what are you doing here?" After saying that, he was about to step forward to help Zhu Wuneng up, when he suddenly felt a pair of big hands stretched out from behind and tightly wrapped his shoulders. Wuxian hurriedly turned around, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Why are you?!"
