Chapter 7: The Return to the Homeland

On this day, Ren Tianxing walked away in front of the Manchu Emperor and more than 1,000 Eight Banner warriors in his arms, not only showing his superb resourcefulness, extraordinary literary brilliance, and calm bearing, but also showing his peerless martial arts of "water is not knee-high" to the people of the world. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoEven though the boss above strictly ordered the matter to spread, the news still spread. In just a few days, it caused a sensation in martial arts, and the song "Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water" was recited by literati and artists. Many storytellers even added fuel and vinegar to the events of the day, telling them in a colorful way, from the dialogue between Ren Tianxing and Kangxi to the three brothers marrying Jinlan. From the four of them joining forces to fight the Eight Banners Warriors, to Ah Jiu's arm being cut off to save his lover. From Ren Tianxing's great power to fight his way out of the encirclement, to Kangxi's design to trap the two by the river. From Ren Tianxing reciting poems with emotion, to holding a beauty in his arms and stepping on the waves under the sunset. For a while, Ren Tianxing's name spread all over the world again, and even Fang Baiyu, Qiao Feng, and Ah Jiu were also praised and praised. The relationship between Ah Jiu and Ren Tianxing was secretly envied by many dusty women, girls in the pavilion, and martial arts women, and Ren Tianxing was like a star in later generations, satisfying all their reverie about the perfect man.

The sky gradually darkened, a northeast wind blew, and a soybean-like rain fell in the air. Ren Tianxing and Ah Jiu were resting in a temple at this time, saying that the temple actually had beautification elements, and this hut was like a drunkard, who was going to lie down and rest at any time. But it's always a place to shelter from the rain, and although it is dilapidated, it is better than nothing. The temple gate has long been rotten, and the temple is full of mildew. Ren Tianxing treated Ah Jiu's wound briefly, and seeing that although her face was pale, her eyebrows were full of joy, he couldn't help but feel pity, hugged her in his arms and said, "Ah Jiu, you have suffered, but I failed to protect you." ā€

Ah Jiu struggled slightly and raised his head, smiling from the bottom of his heart, "Tianxing, don't say that, I feel so happy at this moment." Not only did I not die, but I could still lie in your arms, cared for by you, and pitied by you...... You know, you're the most amazing man in the world, ahem......"

At this moment, there was a sudden click, and a few tiles fell overhead. This ruined temple has long been decayed, soaked in heavy rain, and when the north wind blows, it can no longer support it, and then the rafters and tiles and bricks and mud have fallen. Ren Tianxing hurriedly ran out of the temple with Ah Jiu in his arms, and as soon as he walked out, he heard a loud bang, and the roof of the temple collapsed, followed by half of the wall falling.

The rain poured down without pity, Ren Tianxing put his hand on Ah Jiu's forehead, frowned and thought hard, due to her excessive blood loss, her physique was weak, and she felt cold when she ran, and her forehead was hot at the moment, and the high fever did not go away. In normal times, such a cold is simply not worth mentioning, but now they are in a wasteland, and medicine, food, and even drinking hot water are extremely luxurious, and such a high fever is enough to kill if it is not good. Ah Jiu grabbed Ren Tianxing's hand on her forehead and held it, and smiled gently, "Tianxing, if I can't survive this level, you must take good care of yourself, cough cough, I want you to live happily......"

Ah Jiu was laughing, but Ren Tianxing wanted to cry, he forced himself to squeeze out a smile, "Girl, what are you talking nonsense? I can't even cure a small fever, am I still Ren Tianxing? You are tired and need a lot of rest...... Trust me, you'll be fine. He decisively clicked on Ah Jiu's faint hole, took off his clothes, and wrapped her firmly.

It was already dark at night, and the rain had created smoke that obstructed the view, and it was pitch black as far as the eye could see. There are no references, no pedestrians, only the sound of the rain, the mud underfoot, endless fear and loneliness. Ren Tianxing looked up at the sky, "Nan Wu Medicine Master Liuliguang is like a come, may you bless Ah Jiu to pass this pass and guide me out of the road of life." He closed his eyes and tossed the branch he picked up in the air, and it was only a short time before he opened his eyes, and the head of the branch pointed straight to the northwest.

Ren Tianxing didn't think about it, ran straight to the northwest along the mountain col, and after a cup of tea, he saw that there was a small waterfall rushing down in the white expanse in the woods. Walking uphill on the waterfall, Ren Tianxing became more and more familiar, as if he had been here, his heart moved, and suddenly he was surprised, "Ah Jiu...... You're saved, you're saved......"

Two hours later, Ren Tianxing and Mrs. Zhuang worshiped the spiritual seat of the loyal ministers and martyrs with respect, and the candles on the altar flickered and dimmed, illuminating the two like phantoms. Mrs. Zhuang is still the same, her whole body is plain, her eyebrows are clear, she is dignified and generous, but her face is much better than then, and she is more graceful. She bowed to Ren Tianxingying, "Gongzi has gone through hardships to kill Aobai, and now he has established the Qing Gang to be the enemy of the Manchu Dynasty." not only to avenge the concubine's family, but also to the hatred of thousands of Han people. The concubine is grateful, and she really doesn't know how to repay it. ā€

Ren Tianxing smiled faintly and helped her up, "Madam doesn't have to be like this, she has a low skill and succeeds by luck, thanks to the protection of the loyal soul of the righteous man." ā€

Mrs. Zhuang touched his skin and blushed, but she seemed to think of something quickly, and said with a gloomy expression: "The matter between Gongzi and Ah Jiu has long been talked about by the people of the rivers and lakes, and I don't want her to suffer so much at such a young age." ā€

Ren Tianxing sighed when he heard her mention Ah Jiu, "She is my beloved, but I failed to protect her." ā€

"Childe, don't be too sad, it's not easy for you to save her in the Qianjun, it's all Kangxi...... Childe, you must avenge Miss Ah Jiu. ā€

"Well, I have long been inseparable from the puppet emperor, but I didn't expect that Ah Jiu would be involved so far this time, I was a little anxious just now, thanks to Madame's help in taking care of it. ā€

"Childe, don't say that, just now you fainted at the door with a pale face, but you frightened Shuang'er's girl. With the martial arts of Gongzi who is proud of the world, it is enough to see the danger of the battle of Jinping Mountain, and I am afraid of Gongzi when I think about it now. ā€

Ren Tianxing couldn't help but think of Shuang'er's surprise and worry when he saw him, "Hehe, everything has rained and the sky is clear, and I haven't seen Shuang'er for a few years, but when I see me, I am more and more restrained." ā€

Mrs. Zhuang pursed her lips and smiled, "Shuang'er is not restrained or shy, in fact, she has always cared about her son." How many years...... From Aobai to being killed by Childe, that girl looks forward to Childe coming here every day. We procure things, that girl always rushes to go, every time she hears the news of the child, she has to happily chat with me for a long time......" Mrs. Zhuang saw that Ren Tianxing was silent, and quickly changed the topic, "Has the son heard the sound of Mu Jian?"

Ren Tianxing heard her say that Shuang'er was not sure how to answer, and couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the words, "Mu Jiansheng, why did Madame mention him?"

"Childe comes with me. Mrs. Zhuang led Ren Tianxing to another room, which was a little dim, only the oil lamp on the table next to the bed showed a glimmer of light. But this was enough for Ren Tianxing to see the entire room clearly, and there was a man lying on the bed, it was the little grandfather Mu Jiansheng. He walked over in three steps and two steps, and the maid who took care of Mu Jiansheng saw that it was Ren Tianxing and hurriedly got up and saluted, "I've seen Ren Gongzi." ā€

Ren Tianxing nodded, "Brother Mu, what's wrong?"

The woman's face turned slightly red when she saw Ren Tianxing asking herself, "He...... He ...... "stammered for a long time, and didn't say anything."

Mrs. Zhuang shook her head and let her go down, and the woman bowed to the two as if she had been pardoned, and flew away. "This Mu Gongzi is a descendant of Tianbo Gong, and he doesn't want to encounter misfortune in our place, and it's also because of you, Gongzi. ā€

"Because of me?"

"Gang Master, why are you here too?" but Mu Jiansheng heard the movement and came to his senses. Ren Tianxing saw that he was about to sit up, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help him upright and lean against the head of the bed, and took his pulse, "Well, Brother Mu only suffered a slight internal injury, and there is no major problem." It's just that the worry is too much, and the heart is anxious, which causes the heart to rise. What happened to Brother Mu?"

Mu Jiansheng saw that Mrs. Zhuang was also there, and clenched his fists and said: "Thank you Mrs. for saving me, if it weren't for you this time, alas, ......"

"Mu Gongzi doesn't have to be like this, since he is a fellow believer, he should draw his sword to help. ā€

Mu Jiansheng nodded, and said to Ren Tianxing: "Gang Master Ren, after we said goodbye to you, we wanted to go back to Yunnan directly, but unexpectedly, in the suburbs of the capital, we unexpectedly found a lot of Tartar soldiers. Changed directions several times, trying to dodge, but finally alarmed the group of dog thieves. They chased after us desperately, and my master and uncle went to lure away the Tartars in order to save us, and now they don't know whether they are alive or dead. I took my sister, Fang Yi, and Liu Yizhou with a lot of effort, and finally escaped. By this time it was already dark, and we searched for a long time, and finally found this place to stay. At that time, Mrs. Zhuang deliberately avoided us, so we walked around the courtyard for a long time without finding a single person. At this time, more than a dozen people from the martial arts came here to take refuge, and when they saw that my sister and Fang Yi were beautiful, they became angry. It's ridiculous that I usually think that my martial arts are acceptable, but I don't know that a few random croppers will catch us. Liu Yizhou, who was a dog, actually begged for mercy from that group of beasts, and those people ignored him and were about to behave badly when the other girl's misdeeds, my sister and her...... She lifted you. ā€

Ren Tianxing was wondering why Mu Jiansheng didn't speak, and Mrs. Zhuang saw that he looked a little embarrassed, and said: "At that time, the little county lord was also an expedient measure, and she told those people that she and Miss Fang were both sons of the woman. When those people heard this, they really let go of Mu Gongzi and Liu Yizhou, but they kidnapped Miss Fang and the little county lord, and asked Gongzi to exchange some scriptures. ā€

Ren Tianxing frowned and asked, "The scriptures ...... Do you know who they are and where they are going to be exchanged?"

Mu Jian said: "The strange place is here, these people neither said who they were, nor did they say where to exchange." ā€

"Is there anything unusual about them?"

"What is abnormal......" Mu Jiansheng's eyes lit up, "What did these people say before fighting us, Sect Master Hong will never be old, enjoy immortal blessings forever, and live with Tianqi, yes, it is Shou and Tianqi!"

Ren Tianxing waved his hand and said: "Don't doubt it anymore, they must be from the Shenlong Sect, these guys are good at learning what Maoshan Taoist priests, and reciting a bullshit spell." ā€

Mu Jiansheng immediately grabbed Ren Tianxing's arm tightly, and asked anxiously, "Divine Dragon Sect, where is the Divine Dragon Sect?" He was emotional, and his eyes were red.

Ren Tianxingxin said that what can you do if you know like this?" "This Shenlong Island is lonely overseas, and I only know the general direction, but Brother Mu rest assured, I will definitely bring Sister Ling and Miss Fang back safely." ā€

"Since my brother said so, why don't you go at once, and what scriptures do they want?"

Where would Ren Tianxing tell him about the forty-two chapters?" "Alas, don't hide it from Brother Mu, Ah Jiu and I were also ambushed by Tartars yesterday, and she was cut off an arm in order to save me. Now that I'm recuperating here, how can I abandon her?"

This shocked Mu Jiansheng, "What? Yiren's gang leader's martial arts would have been defeated so badly?"

Ren Tianxing shook his head and briefly said yesterday's events. Mu Jiansheng smiled bitterly: "I thought that the Tartars were going to deal with us, and I didn't want to ......."

Ren Tianxing knew that if he was asking him to continue, he would become a favor owed to him, and said, "By the way, I don't know where Liu Yizhou went?"

When Mu Jiansheng heard him, he immediately said angrily: "In order to save his life, he can even betray his own woman, how can Mu Wangfu keep such a spineless person? ā€

Ren Tianxing saw that his expression was gloomy, and he despised it in his heart, and said: "Such a person who is not strong-minded, greedy for life and afraid of death, even if he goes to tens of thousands of people, it will not cause the slightest damage to our great cause, but it will be more beneficial, Brother Mu doesn't have to mind it so much." ā€
