Entering September, the north gradually enters autumn, and the south is still sunny, the sky is blue without a trace of clouds, the fiery sun scorches the earth, the water in the river is hot, and the soil in the ground is smoking. Fang Baiyu, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" pavilion, rode a horse and galloped on the official road in Henan, sweating on his forehead, frowning, and ignoring the surprised people beside the road. Although the weather was so hot, it was nothing compared to his heart at this time. He patted the horse under his crotch and sighed in his heart, "This is already the fifth horse, and I finally arrived in Shangqiu, I hope it's still too late." ”

After running for another half an hour, when he arrived at a small town, Fang Baiyu turned over and dismounted, bought a coat and a hat in the mountain goods store at the entrance of the town alone, put them on, and covered most of his face. He shuttled a few times in the west laneway, came to a hut, knocked lightly, and only heard one person in the room say, "Which friend is it?" The voice was not very loud, and Fang Baiyu only felt masculine and mellow in his ears.

"Brother Yan is me. ”

"Bai Yu!" The door was quickly opened, and a man of twenty-seven or eighteen years old appeared, he was eight feet long, his eyebrows were straight, his eyes were thin and long, and his face was red and bearded.

"Come in, I'll be waiting for you. ”

Fang Baiyu walked in, and when he saw the man surnamed Yan closing the door, he hurriedly asked, "How is Miao Daxia?"

"Alas, the poisoning is deep, and Mr. Shang has tried his best, but it is only delaying. ”

The courtyard was not big, and the two of them walked very quickly, a few steps into the house, three men were standing in front of the door, and when they saw Fang Baiyu, they hurriedly bowed and saluted, "I've seen the chief helmsman!"

Fang Baiyu patted the three of them on the shoulder, "Zhaowen, Zhaoying, Zhaoneng, it's been a long time." You did a good job this time, you didn't disregard the righteousness because of personal enmity, and you deserve to be a good brother of our Bai Yu. These three people are collectively known as the "Three Heroes of the Northern Hubei Zhong Family" Zhong Zhaowen, the second Zhong Zhaoying, and the third Zhong Zhaoneng. I had been doing some black and white things near Wusheng Pass before, and I was subdued by Fang Baiyu a few years ago because I offended the Huaxing Society. Fang Baiyu saw that the three of them were strong in martial arts, so he took them under his command, making them change their ways.

The three of them were deeply moved when they heard this, and Zhong Zhaowen said: "This incident is indeed a little unexpected for us, but fortunately it was not a big mistake. The chief helmsman, Miao Daxia is there. ”

Fang Baiyu hurriedly walked to the side of the bed, and saw that there was a person lying on the bed, he was tall and thin, with a sallow face, a sickly face, and his palms were as big as a fan, and his roots were to the bones, it was Miao Renfeng. It's just that at this time, the sallow face is hidden in the golden color, which looks extremely weird. An old man in gray was doing acupuncture for him, looking extremely focused.

Fang Baiyu didn't dare to disturb in the slightest, and after a tea time, he saw the old man put away the last silver needle, and hurriedly asked, "How is Mr. Shang?"

Mr. Shang wiped the sweat from his forehead and shook his head and sighed: "At most, I won't live tomorrow, this Golden Snake King's venom is really powerful, and the old man has done his best." ”

Fang Baiyu's brows furrowed slightly, "Golden Snake King, but the Five Poisons Sect did it?"

Mr. Shang nodded, "This Golden Snake King is about a foot long, and his body is golden yellow, shining in the sun. After the Five Poisons Sect is obtained, it is carefully fed with poisons and poisons. If Miao Daxia hadn't had profound skills, he would have gone a long time ago. ”

At this time, Miao Renfeng slowly opened his eyes and gasped slightly: "Brother Fang, you...... You're here, and I'll be able to see you one last time before I die...... God has eyes!"

Fang Baiyu's eyes were red, and he hurriedly stepped forward to take Miao Renfeng's hand, "Brother Miao, don't say that, I'll go to the people of the Five Poisons Sect to settle accounts now, and I must ask them to hand over the antidote." ”

Miao Renfeng opened his mouth and wanted to laugh, but he didn't have the strength, he shook his head and said, "It's too late, Brother Fang, you have invited me to join the Huaxing Club several times, but I haven't agreed to you." Every time I say that there are important things that have not been resolved, I really shouldn't think about it now. The eldest husband lived his life in vain, but he did not do anything for the country and the nation. ”

"That's not the case, Brother Miao, you act above board, risk your life to your friends, and love and pity your daughter, you are the hero I respect the most. ”

Miao Renfeng said: "Bai Yu, I still remember the first time we met in Cangzhou that year, you were so high-spirited. We drank and competed, commented on heroes, and worshiped Hu Yidao together. There are only two heroes in my life, you and Hu Yidao. Now that I'm going to die, I want to entrust you with something alone......"

Mr. Shang stood up, "Give birth, Miao Daxia is running out of time, let the chief helmsman say goodbye to him for the last time!" The other four also understood, nodded, and walked out of the room with Mr. Shang and closed the door.

Fang Baiyu saw that everyone had retreated, and said solemnly: "Brother Miao has any wishes that have not been fulfilled, even if I tell my junior brother, I will do it even if I go up to Dao Mountain and go down to the sea of fire." ”

Miao Renfeng said: "I have four things to ask my brother, these things are very tricky, but I really have no one else to trust, only to trouble you." ”

"You and my brother have a relationship, why do you want to say it like this? Brother Miao, please say, the younger brother agrees. ”

Miao Renfeng showed a relieved expression, raised his hand slightly, and wanted to pat Fang Baiyu's shoulder, but finally he was unable to put it down, he gasped a few times, and said slowly: "First, about me and Hu Yidao, I have talked to you a lot in the past, and I have not found a clue about the cause of his death over the years. Brother Fang, I hope you will find the real murderer for me and avenge me. ”

Fang Baiyu said: "The battle between the eldest brother and Hu Daxia Cangzhou changed the color of the wind and clouds, and the world cried ghosts and gods. You are obviously enemies, but you see admiration for each other everywhere. For the sake of this friendship of purity, I agreed. ”

Miao Renfeng continued: "Second, Hu Daxia once entrusted me to raise his child, but the child was taken away, and I don't know his whereabouts until now. Brother Fang, if you can see that kid in the future, you must teach him well for me, so that he can become a man as affectionate and righteous as Hu Yidao. ”

Fang Baiyu thought for a moment, "Since this kid hasn't appeared until now, something may have happened to him. However, I promised my eldest brother that if I really met this child, I would take him as an apprentice and teach him carefully so that he would not fall into the evil ways. ”

Miao Renfeng was very happy when he heard it, if Fang Baiyu didn't want to agree, it was perfunctory. "If that kid can follow you, it can be regarded as his creation, and presumably Hu Daxia will definitely smile at Jiuquan when he knows it. As he spoke, he reached out and took out a booklet from his arms and handed it to Fang Baiyu.

Fang Baiyu stretched out his hand to take it, and casually flipped through the Miao family's family heirloom swordsmanship, slightly surprised, "Big brother, ...... you are"

Miao Renfeng coughed lightly twice, "My daughter Ruolan was kidnapped by those people, and I think it was the Five Poisons Sect." I thought about it for a long time in the past two days, and before Liu He sent a letter to assassinate him without success, he said that it was Tian Guinong's instructions. Maybe it really had something to do with him before, but how powerful the Five Poisons Sect was, how could he be instructed by the Heavenly Dragon Sect?"

"That's right, whether it's Sect Leader He Tieshou or the Holy Maiden Blue Phoenix, if they want to destroy the Heavenly Dragon Gate, it's just a gesture, and they will never serve him to return to farming. ”

"So, my third thing is to get my brother back my daughter Ruolan. She is still young, and I am not worried if it falls into the hands of Tian Guinong, because her mother will protect her. But the demon of the Five Poisons Sect has a bad heart, if she embarks on an evil path......"

Fang Baiyu said: "Big brother is right, Ruolan is innocent and cute, and she must not fall into the hands of the Five Poisons Sect demons." I'm going to get her back and take good care of her. ”

Miao Renfeng said: "Ruolan has begged me to teach her martial arts since she came back from Shangbao a few years ago, saying that she wants to become a hero like Ren Tianxing, but I can't resist her, so I taught her the family internal skills and body methods." Actually, I don't like Ren Tianxing......"

Fang Bai Yuqi said: "Oh, why is this?"

Miao Renfeng said: "In Shangbao, his words were as sharp as a knife, and he scolded my wife so much that she vomited blood and fainted. comforted Ruolan again, she wanted to kill Tian Guinong, I still remember Tian Guinong's embarrassed appearance, it's so fucking funny. I should have thanked him for this man who seemed to think of me everywhere and stood at the highest point of morality. Not only did Ruolan worship him, but even the excited expressions of everyone present at that time were still vividly in my mind. Ren Tianxing is a character, but I always feel that he lacks something, and it is precisely because he lacks this thing that he is not destined to be a hero. ”

Fang Baiyu sighed: "Big brother is right, Ren Tianxing may not be a hero, but he is a hero. I really want to think about what the world will be like if Ren Tianxing becomes a hero one day?" Fang Baiyu saw that Miao Renfeng was not interested in Ren Tianxing, so he naturally would not tell him about his marriage with the other party.

"So he is not a hero, but you Fang Baiyu are a hero, and I, Miao Renfeng, can only reassure me by handing over Ruolan to you. ”

Fang Baiyu smiled freely, "If others say that I am a hero, I will disdain it and feel uneasy." But Brother Miao said that I was a hero, and I accepted it calmly. ”

The corners of Miao Renfeng's mouth rose, "This is my good brother!" This Miao family's swordsmanship is my family's martial arts, Ruolan is young and can't comprehend the mystery yet. Brother, after you learn it, you will destroy this sword spectrum, and he will pass it on to Ruolan one day, and forget it, but I have a wish. "If Fang Baiyu can't even hear this, then it's not Fang Baiyu. Although Miao Renfeng didn't say it, he had already handed over his daughter and family swordsmanship to him, in other words, he recognized Fang Baiyu as his son-in-law.

"Big brother, I ......"

Miao Renfeng interrupted him, "Don't say it, this matter is indeed a bit presumptuous and a little ridiculous. But I only trust you alone, and I hope you don't make me unable to close my eyes. ”

Fang Baiyu looked at Miao Renfeng's eagerly expectant eyes, and sighed secretly, "Big brother...... I promise you!"

Miao Renfeng seemed to have let go of a big burden, and her whole body was extremely relaxed, "So I have no regrets...... cough cough ......" Fang Baiyu hurriedly got up, poured a glass of water, fed him a few sips, and secretly hid the blood-stained handkerchief.

"Big brother, you take a rest first, I asked Mr. Shang to come in and do acupuncture for you, and then we will talk in detail." ”

Miao Renfeng shook his head, "Don't waste time, my own body, I know it very well." And one last thing, I'm going to finish anyway. ”

"But, big brother, you ......"

"Listen to me, this fourth thing has to do with a big secret, and it has to do with the overthrow of the Tartars, and you must listen to me. Seeing that he said so solemnly, Fang Baiyu couldn't help but cheer up, he knew Miao Renfeng's personality very well, nodded, didn't say anything more, and listened attentively.

Miao Renfeng was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "After King Chuang broke through Beijing, the emperor's relatives and ministers of the Ming Dynasty all surrendered, and these people were all wealthy, and the generals under King Chuang forced them to sacrifice gold, silver and jewelry to redeem their lives. Later, Wu Sangui led the Qing troops into the customs, and King Chuang was forced to withdraw from Beijing, and sent his cronies and generals to hide the treasure in a very secluded place, so that it could be used as military pay when he made a comeback in the future. He drew a picture of the location of the hidden treasure, and the key to the treasure hunt was placed in a saber. Later, King Chuang was in Jiugong Mountain, Tongshan County, Wuchang Prefecture, and was besieged by Qing soldiers and Wu Sangui, and he could not be killed several times. At that time, King Chuang had four guards around him: Hu, Miao, Fan, and Tian, all of whom were strong in martial arts. Among the four, the surname Hu has the strongest martial arts and the most capable, and everyone calls him the 'Flying Fox'......"
