Chapter 3: The Situ Family (I)
In the third year of Xianping, May 18. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Into the city?"
After receiving the young man's solemn answer, the stout men in the small hall all looked solemn and frowned. Everyone's eyes converged on this young man, the young man was stared at by these big people, and he was at a loss, a pair of arms did not know where to go, and finally he could only hang straight down, looking like a wood carving from a distance, but as long as his eyes were focused on this young man's face, he could see the lifelike panic.
On the first seat, the middle-aged man, who was about forty years old, also frowned, staring at the young man, trying to find a clue from the slightly panicked expression, but after a moment, as if he remembered something, he waved his hand and motioned for the young man to stand back.
The young man's legs were weak, and he almost fell to his knees, and immediately realized what the occasion was here, and ran out of the door as if fleeing without saying goodbye, and everyone saw all this, and some people laughed a few times.
But these few chuckles could not lead to the awkward atmosphere in the small hall, the middle-aged man wanted to open his mouth to speak, but he felt a mouthful of phlegm stuck in his throat, so he cleared his throat and said, "What do you think?"
"The head of the family can't help but look down on us, this Sikong is extremely lonely and slippery, and now he has just entered Jiangning, where can we guess what he thinks?"
The scholar sitting on the right hand side of the middle-aged man, about thirty years old, wearing a square scarf on his head and two slight beards on his lips, shook his head and replied. He held an iron bone fan in his hand, the fan was tightly closed, and the four small characters "Zhuge Weisheng" were engraved on the fan bones. This person is the famous "Little Zhuge " Zhuge Hui on the rivers and lakes, and the word is Wei Sheng. It is said that he is a descendant of Prime Minister Zhuge of the Shu Han Dynasty, but he has always denied it, and has repeatedly denied that he is a descendant of Prime Minister Zhuge in front of everyone. This move was misunderstood by many people in the rivers and lakes as Zhuge Hui lying in order not to insult his ancestors, so this rumor was passed on to Yu Lie.
"Wei Sheng, the head of the family trusts us, if you have any good ideas, just say it, we all know that you have the most ghost ideas, when did we encounter difficulties that were not solved by you in the end? ”
The stout man with a gray beard, beardless under his chin, and a majestic face sitting on the left hand side of the middle-aged man said with a smile. This thick man is the first master of the Situ family, known as the "Hate Gun" Situ Lei, the reason why this person is nicknamed "Hate Gun" is rumored on the rivers and lakes, it is not that his marksmanship is superb, and the moves can make people feel "away from hatred", but when it comes to the Situ family's unique stunt "Thirty-three Hate Hands" makes it wonderful, the move is like a spear assault, once the ordinary master is hit, there will be an extra hole in the body, if there is no magic doctor elixir to save, it will not be long before he will hate Huangquan. Situ Lei ranks nineteenth in the Who's Who in the rivers and lakes, and has been deeply relied on by the Situ family over the years, with no less than 100 unjust souls under his hands, and he is also the number one person in Jiangning City.
"Old Lei, what Mr. Wei Sheng said is not unreasonable, we can't find out the bottom of that kid at all, no matter how those secret agents trace the clues, they can only find out the traces of this kid's activities near Phoenix Mountain over the years, and they can't find anything else at all. But if he is really Mr. Wu's disciple, his style of acting is incompatible with his master and brother, and he really doesn't look like a disciple of Phoenix Mountain......"
The middle-aged man's right thumb and index finger twisted his goatee, and the slender and long Danfeng eyes were also squinted, and the slightly majestic voice sank to the end, as if it had hit a roadblock.
"Door master, since we have already set our eyes on the inn where this kid lives, it is better to ...... at night"
"Nonsense. ”
"Fart. ”
A young man in the last seat stood up and arched his hand, his tone was quite sincere, but he could only be scolded by Zhuge Hui and Situ Lei at the same time. The young man's face instantly changed from sorrow to surprise, and then from surprise to anger, a pair of sword eyebrows raised, and the flames in his eyes were about to erupt like arrows on a string.
"Abai, stand down. ”
The middle-aged man's words were sharp, but the young man "snorted" and the proud back of the one who turned away.
The middle-aged man looked at the distant back, but sighed again and again in his heart, he originally wanted to let the two most outstanding heroes of the younger generation of the Situ family discuss important matters in this small hall to improve the status of the two families, but Situ Song categorically refused, and stroked the piano in the backyard pavilion alone. Assassinating Sikong Gu? He could imagine how beautiful Sikong Gu's trick of killing people with a knife in Yangzhou was? Although everyone saw it, they really couldn't find out what the Cao Gang was not.
After all, on the surface, it was Yangdaomen who colluded with businessmen to murder the Cao Gang online, and after Yangdaomen's conspiracy was discovered, his second son, Jin, sent a letter to escape from prison. Later, the Cao Gang and the imperial court went to Yangdaomen one after another to ask for explanations, and this Yangdaomen dared to kill officials and shield criminals, and that was a prison army! He was not those lowly people with a humble status in the rivers and lakes, but officials of the imperial court! The Cao Gang united with the imperial court to jointly exterminate the "bandits" of Yangdaomen, and which of the people in the rivers and lakes dared to say a good word for the "bandits"? Which people in the rivers and lakes could accuse the Cao Gang of not doing it at all?
Jianghu people only remember that the Cao Gang was attacked by the despicable means of Yangdaomen many times, first Jin Youde murdered Li Zhou, and then Jin Zhixin and Lu Song framed Nangong Jun, which was the first to use official weapons, but Yangdaomen, not the Cao Gang.
What role does this Sikong Gu play in this? Ordinary people in the rivers and lakes only know that he assisted the Cao Gang in killing Jin Youde and his wife with a sword in the Yangdao Gate, and a powerful young peerless master appeared on the rivers and lakes. But where are the Situ family in the rivers and lakes who listen to rumors and rumors? In the Situ family's intelligence network, Sikong Gu is the chief hero who single-handedly contributed to the Cao Gang's final victory over Yangdaomen.
When the middle-aged man thinks of the name Sikong Gu, he can't help but guess: Is it the Yang Daomen that has entered Sikong Gu's set, or is Sikong Gu planning to fight a counterattack? But in the end, seeing the result of the chaos in Yangzhou, the middle-aged man can only be sure: Sikong Gu won very beautifully.
Of course, if this middle-aged man knew that the chaos in Yangzhou was first caused by Sikong Gu uniting a certain force, and getting rid of Li Zhou with his own hands as the first move, he would definitely have a trace of fear of the forces behind Sikong Gu and this young man's ruthless scheming, right?
It's a pity that this truth has been submerged under Sikong Gu's fame, and no one would have thought that Li Zhou's death would be done by Sikong Gu, a great benefactor of the Cao Gang. The middle-aged man, Zhuge Hui and Situ Lei only knew: Sikong Gu is brave and strategic, especially good at seeing through conspiracies and tricks, and has peerless martial arts, the most important thing is that he has only been famous for more than a month, and he has only shot once, and everyone can't observe what this person's weaknesses are.
What did he do when he came to Jiangning?
Is it just to recapture what should belong to his Sikong family? Or is there another calculation? The middle-aged man has been guessing in his mind that this peerless master who suddenly appeared has a plan in his mind, but in the end, he can only sigh that he knows too little information, and there is no way to draw a definite conclusion.
The middle-aged man's ears were filled with the chaotic discussion of everyone in the hall, but he silently read the name Sikong Gu in his heart until this important discussion ended in vain.
"What are you playing?"
In the pond in the backyard of Situ Mansion, lotus leaves are spread all over the pond surface, and the lotus flowers are ready to bloom, among which there are also a few lotus flowers that can't bear the long flowering period, and have bloomed first, making the green bushes have a little more bright red.
In the small pavilion, Situ Bai is standing behind this handsome boy, if you talk about appearance, although Situ Bai also has red lips and white teeth, those eyes are extraordinary, and it seems that he can exchange for countless girls in Jiangning City Jinpa hydrangea in the blink of an eye. But this man who strokes the piano with both hands and closes his eyes and plays music is more handsome than Situ Bai, different from Situ Bai's delicate appearance, this man's eyes, nose, mouth and ears are all born just right, that is, the red card girl who welcomed guests in the green building saw it, I am afraid that he will also admire how there is such a gentleman in the world, and I can't wait to be good immediately and entrust the rest of my life to this peerless beautiful man.
The man's eyes slowly opened, his body turned slightly, and a hippie smiling guy appeared in his eyes, making him shake his head and sigh slightly: "Ah Bai, I said, don't interrupt me when you are practicing, and you forgot about it?"
"I'm sorry, brother," Situ Bai shrugged, but the smile on his face did not change, "It's just that the little brother sees that you play so ugly, and he is afraid of startling the fish in this pond, you see, there are birds and finches inhabiting this pavilion, and there should be a few white cranes in the pond, as soon as you play the piano, they will disappear, how bad is this." ”
"The birds are easily frightened, no matter how good the sound of the piano is, they will not stop to admire, and the white cranes will only be released into the pond by those little maids in the evening, and you will naturally not see ......"
"Yes, yes, brother, you always have something to say. ”
"Okay, weren't you supposed to be 'invited' to the council chamber by your father?
This handsome gentleman in plain clothes and white clothes with a cloak is Situ Song, Situ Bai's eldest brother. Situ Song and Situ Bai are ranked 30th and 61st in the Who's Who respectively, the two are young, and it is only a matter of time before their martial arts surpass Situ Lei, the first master of the Situ family, so the two brothers are highly anticipated in the Situ family, except for those old and important ministers in the council hall, everyone respects them and does not dare to offend them in the slightest.
The elder brother Situ Song is only twenty-nine years old, the same year as Nangong Jun, the current acting leader of the Cao Gang, but Nangong Jun has a rough face and is unkempt, and he looks twenty years older than this handsome man. His younger brother Situ Bai is five years younger than Situ Song, and his twenty-fourth birthday has just passed this year, and his martial arts talent is not inferior to his brother, but it is a pity that he is a little younger than his brother, but his martial arts improvement speed is much faster than Situ Song's -- after all, Situ Song has just entered the Who's Who Register at the age of 24, ranking more than 90.
It's just that these two dazzling new stars in the rivers and lakes have been overshadowed by one person's light this year.
That young man's name is Sikong Gu, this young man is only twenty years old this year, and he can kill Jin Youde, who is more than 20 in the Who's List, and Lu Niyu, who is between martial arts and Jin Youde.
If you say that you don't have half a bit of jealousy, you can't help but look down on the arrogance of this pair of Situ brothers, but if you say that you compete with him, you can't help but look down on the Situ brothers' minds too much.
How could a young man who had the "top ten" skills in his twentieth year be an ordinary genius? How could the Situ brothers' martial arts be so superb that they could think that they could be compared to Sikong Gu?
But among the rivers and lakes, is martial arts the most important?
"I proposed to infiltrate the inn where he was staying tonight, and then take advantage of his unpreparedness to attack him, but those old stubborns didn't even have the idea of listening to me finish the plan, what a bastard, a bunch of wine bags and rice bags, my Situ family relies on these things, and sooner or later they will be played to death by that Sikong Gu......"
"Ah Bai, Hugh is messing around!"
A chill rushed in, and in the face of that handsome face that was as cold as ice, this harsh but familiar scolding, Situ Bai spat out a sneer from the corner of his mouth.
