Chapter 202: Chengtian Temple
After Mu Nianci's injuries stabilized, Yue Ziran and others left Hengshan, traveled from the northwest, passed Changde, passed Taoyuan, and went to Yuanling, but they had arrived at Huxi in a few days.
Summer is gone, but the autumn tigers are still there, so all the way, both horses and people are scorched by the scorching sun and languishing.
As he passed by a liquor shop on an official road, Yue Ziran reined in his horse and looked up at the sun above him, which had moved to the southwest, and the annoying sun would turn crimson in another quarter of an hour. This was originally a good time to hurry, but Yue Ziran saw that everyone looked tired, so he said, "Let's rest here tonight, if we hurry again, we will miss the accommodation." β
Huxi is already in the sphere of influence of the Iron Palm Gang, and it won't take two days for everyone to rush to the Iron Palm Peak, Yue Ziran is not in a hurry. Naturally, the others would not object, and when they heard this, they dismounted one after another and walked towards the wine shop with wine flags and the smell of wine.
When I opened the curtain and entered the store, I was greeted with a burst of coolness, which made people feel refreshed.
Yue Ziran looked around and saw that there were already a lot of heroes in the store, obviously all of whom were here for the matter of Iron Palm Peak. There was also a group of disciples of the beggar gang, who wanted to stand up and salute when they saw Yue Ziran, but they were stopped by Yue Ziran shaking his head lightly.
Sun Fugui, who was walking behind Yue Ziran, entered the wine shop and couldn't wait to shout: "Shopkeeper, bring the wine quickly, Lao Sun's throat is smoking." β
The shopkeeper simply responded, and while ordering Xiao Er to hurry up and get the wine, he stepped forward to greet Yue Ziran and the others. Lead them to the vacant seats.
At this moment, a sound of surprise sounded. Someone shouted, "Sun Gongzi?"
Sun Fugui hadn't heard others call him like this for a long time, so he didn't react for a while, and after the other party called him a few more times, he turned his head and asked, "Who?"
When he saw a few people sitting in the corner of the wall greeting him, Sun Fugui's eyes lit up, he said hello to Yue Ziran, and stepped forward. Haha laughed and said: "Who is my Dao, it turns out to be Hall Master Li." β
Sun Fugui was greeted by a young man in Tsing Yi who was slightly older than Yue Ziran, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, gorgeous clothes, and the sword in his hand was also inlaid with red, red, green and green gemstones. He stood up and said politely: "Sun Gongzi is polite, you are no longer in Yipintang." Call me as I used to be. β
Sun Fugui didn't feel embarrassed at all, and said, "In that case, I'll still call you Brother Li." Fugui left Yipintang before, and he had time to greet Brother Li in the future, and he hoped to forgive his sins. But he didn't mention the fact that he exposed the crimes of the disciples of Yipintang and caused them to be castrated by Yue Ziran.
That Li Gongzi obviously didn't want to pursue it either. He said in the same tone: "You're welcome." Yipintang has had a lot of gentlemen over the years, and what happened at the beginning was really not right in Yipintang. If the commander is free, Li will apologize in person. β
Sun Fugui was stunned, but he didn't expect that this Hall Master Li, who had only met a few times, would be so generous. After reacting, he pointed to Yue Ziran, who was already sitting down over there, and said, "Now, that is my master." β
Hall Master Li followed Sun Fugui's finger and looked at it. couldn't help but be surprised, he just heard the Yipintang disciple who went back say that Sun Fugui worshipped an amazing figure as a master. But I didn't expect it to be a son who was younger than himself.
At that time, Yipintang had already fallen, and its reputation in the rivers and lakes was not as good as that of gangs like the Giant Whale Gang, so the two talked about Yipintang here for a long time, but they did not attract the slightest hatred. Even those who knew about Yipintang just turned their heads and looked at them curiously, looking at what the Tangut people looked like.
Even if the hall master Li who came back to his senses wanted to go over to apologize to Yue Ziran, Sun Fugui saw that his master was talking very happily with his master, and he was probably not happy after being disturbed, so he stretched out his hand to stop him, and said with a smile: "It's not too late to go over and disturb after my master has eaten, besides, our brothers haven't met for a long time, and I don't know what happened to Xixia, just take this opportunity to tell me about it." β
"Good. Hearing this, Hall Master Li sat down and asked his subordinates to make room for Sun Fugui, and the two began to drink and talk.
After a few cups of sweet wine, Sun Fugui asked, "Brother Li, what are you doing in Xiangnan this time?"
Hall Master Li put down his wine glass and said, "We heard that there is going to be an endless battle between the Beggar Gang and the Iron Palm Gang, and the masters of the major gangs in the rivers and lakes have rushed to the Iron Palm Peak to see it, so we naturally can't afford to lag behind." β
Sun Fugui pursed his lips and said unceremoniously: "I may believe in other gangs, but Brother Li, do you still care about these fights and killings in the rivers and lakes? β
Seeing that he didn't believe his previous words, Hall Master Li could only smile bitterly and whispered to Sun Fugui: "Actually, we are here for the beggar gang leader Yue this time. β
He obviously didn't know that Sun Fugui's master was Yue Ziran, who was now spreading in the rivers and lakes.
Sun Fugui also deliberately pretended to be stupid and asked, "What's the matter? What is Yipintang doing with the beggar gang leader?"
Hall Master Li's voice was even lower, and Sun Fugui could only prick up his ears to hear: "Actually, it's not me who is looking for Gang Master Yue, it's His Royal Highness the Prince." β
The expression on Sun Fugui's face finally became serious.
This Li Tangzhu's father was originally a member of the royal family, but after the palace coup d'Γ©tat of the Qi King Li Zun, deposing Xia Xiangzong and establishing himself as the emperor, and becoming the first emperor in history, the father of this Li Tangzhu stayed away from the center of power and became a dilapidated nobleman, who was bullied by other powers. However, this Li Tang Master has been fond of martial arts since he was a child, and he has cultivated a good ability, and after taking refuge in His Royal Highness Prince Li Dewang today, he has become the helmsman of Yipintang.
The reason why Hall Master Li and Sun Fugui said these things is actually because Sun Fugui is not an outsider, but the elder brother of Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess of Western Xia.
There is a story about Li Dewang's succession to the crown prince.
Although the current Western Xia Emperor Li Zunwei abolished Xia Xiangzong and established himself as emperor, he was an even more mediocre emperor than Xia Xiangzong, and he was especially afraid of the Mongolian iron horsemen. When the Mongols came to the door, he handed over the state affairs to the crown prince Li Dewang, and he ran away first.
Li Dewang is quite virtuous, but the national strength of Western Xia has been corrupted by the previous Mongolian bullying and Li Zunwei, so he can only choose to surrender with Mongolia and let him retreat.
Li Zunwei is the most afraid of Mongolian soldiers, which can be seen. He has always insisted on attaching Mongolia to resist Jin, the original prince, his eldest son Li Deren has already seen the Mongolian ambitions, so he opposed the attack on Jin, advocated that the United Jin reject Mongolia, refused to obey the Mongolian order to lead the army to attack the Jin State, and was deposed by Shenzong, Li Dewang succeeded to the crown prince.
Of course, these are all things that Sun Fugui didn't expect before marrying his sister.
"What is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doing with the beggar gang leader?" Sun Fugui became more and more confused.
"Against Chengtian Temple!" said Hall Master Li word by word.
"What?" Sun Fugui was taken aback, and stood up, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to ......"
Although his voice was so low that it could only be heard by the two of them, Hall Master Li still raised his middle finger and signaled him to silence.
Hall Master Li smiled bitterly: "Mongolia is obviously a sword now, and Western Xia is just fish and meat, if you don't jump a few times now, I'm afraid that Western Xia will not be able to escape the fate of losing the country." β
