15. Coincidentally, Xu Yun listened to the secret matter, and the scholar refused to conspire
The next morning, after Xu Yun had breakfast, he saw snow outside the house, so he walked into the hospital. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info He looked at the fluttering snowflakes and suddenly remembered that there was a small river nearby. The river was not deep, and many children who lived nearby came to play there every day. Xu Yun and Hua Qian also often went there when they were young, playing water fights with other children, touching fish and shrimp, and often playing all afternoon. Especially in the cold winter, when a layer of ice forms on the river, it is even more fun, and the children do not want to go home until dark.
Xu Yun recalled the old events of his childhood, and on a whim, he walked out of the Washington Mansion and relied on his memory to find the small river.
Xu Yun remembered that the river was not close to the courtyard, but in fact, he didn't walk a few steps before he reached the river. There was not a single child playing near the creek, and it was much more deserted than it was more than 20 years ago. Xu Yun gently stepped on the frozen river, and said with a secret smile in his heart: "Although there are fewer noisy young children, this river is still the same. ”
Suddenly, Xu Yun saw a person passing by the river in a hurry, and the figure and appearance of that person were slightly familiar, and it seemed to be the appearance of the down-and-out scholar he saw in Yishui Pavilion yesterday. Thinking of Quan Chengkong's voice suppressing everyone in Yishui Pavilion yesterday, Xu Yun couldn't help but be vigilant in his heart: "How could this person suddenly appear here? Seeing that he was in such a hurry, there must be something important to do." This person's internal cultivation is extremely high, but he doesn't know whether it is right or wrong, and if he comes here to be detrimental to the Washington Palace, it is very bad. I followed him secretly to see what was going on with him. ”
Because he was in the suburbs and had a wide field of vision, Xu Yun was afraid of being discovered by Quan Chengkong, so he could only follow him from a distance. Fortunately, the whole empty seemed to be too anxious, and he rushed forward, without even looking back, and he didn't realize that he was being followed.
"I remember going further, it seems to be an abandoned ancestral hall, could it be that he is going there?" Xu Yun saw that Quan Chengkong had long been away from the Washington Palace, but he was still walking step by step, and said secretly in his heart.
Sure enough, Jeon Chengkong stopped in front of the abandoned ancestral hall. Xu Yun saw from a distance that it seemed to be facing the ancestral hall, and then he walked in, as if there were people in the ancestral hall.
Xu Yun raised his true qi slightly, strode forward, and after a few ups and downs, he went around to the back of the ancestral hall, and then jumped up and landed lightly on the roof of the ancestral hall. The roof had a thin layer of snow, but he stepped on it without making a sound.
Xu Yun cautiously bent down, looked around carefully, and saw that there was no one outside the ancestral hall, so he listened to the movement inside the ancestral hall.
"Quan Gongzi, you and my three brothers will meet at the sixteenth of the year, and the three of my brothers have agreed. But you suddenly changed your hexagram last night, and asked the three of my brothers out today, are you in such a hurry to send them to death?" Xu Yun didn't know the appearance of the person who spoke to Quan Chengkong, but it sounded like a middle-aged man with quite confidence.
"The juniors and the three seniors met at the sixteenth on the same day, because the juniors still had unfulfilled wishes, so they deliberately extended the time. Now that the younger generation's wish has been fulfilled, I want to comprehend the three-star bamboo stick formation of the three seniors as soon as possible. "It's all empty.
As soon as Xu Yun heard the "three-star array of bamboo sticks", he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart: "This 'three-star array of bamboo sticks' is the 'three beggars of Hebei', Li Da, Li Er, and Li San, the mastery of the three brothers. Judging from the dialogue between the two parties, eighty percent of the three beggars offered to compete in a duel with Quan Chengkong. Could it be that this Quanchengkong really did something evil and was targeted by the three beggars?"
While Xu Yun was thinking, Quan Chengkong had walked out of the ancestral hall with the three beggars of Hebei. When Xu Yun saw someone coming out, he lowered his body a little more, and leaned against the roof to look at the four people below.
I saw that Quan Chengkong was standing alone on the side, and the three Li brothers were each holding a bamboo stick and standing opposite Quan Chengkong.
Quan Chengkong hugged his fist and saluted the three beggars in Hebei and said: "The juniors of the late generation were drunk and lost the face of the three seniors, which is really too rude." But since the three seniors refused to accept the juniors' apologies and forgive the juniors, the juniors had no choice but to dare to do it with the three. The juniors know that they are not the opponents of the three seniors, and if they lose the competition, let the three fall, and the juniors have no complaints. "It turned out that after getting drunk in the restaurant a few days ago, Quan Cheng said something that mocked the three beggars in Hebei. It happened that the three beggars of Hebei were also there at that time, and after listening to Quan Chengkong's words, he was angry, and he proposed a duel in front of Quan Chengkong, so there was a scene that Xu Yun saw today.
"Since Quan Gongzi dares to come to the appointment, he is confident that he can defeat the three of my brothers, didn't Gongzi say that it is easy to win down the three of my brothers? Come on, come on, and fight with us, let's see how powerful you are in this offspring!" Li Dadao, the leader of the three Li brothers.
"Since the three seniors are so aggressive, the juniors can only offend!" As soon as Quan Chengkong's voice fell, the three beggars of Hebei had already taken the lead in standing in the center and surrounded Quan Chengkong in the center, and at the same time raised a stick to hit him. Facing the long bamboo stick, he fell into passivity at the beginning, unable to use his hand-to-hand kung fu to fight back, so he had to wave his palm frequently, tired of dealing with the bamboo sticks of the three beggars.
Xu Yun saw that the three beggars were so unruly, and he felt angry and funny in his heart: "These three beggars lost their words after all the empty drinks and disrespected them, so they want to compete with him in a duel, and they are obviously people with a good face." But if the three brothers have been fighting with people like this, and they don't pay any attention to the rules and reason, it will be even more difficult to make others respect them!"
After Xu Yun watched the fight of the four of them again, he secretly said in his heart: "The formation of these three beggars is in a certain way, and the cooperation is tacit, as if the three bamboo sticks are made by one person, it is really not easy to break this formation." That Quan Cheng did not have a long blade in his empty hand, and he could not hinder the footwork of the three of them, and he was passively beaten as if he was trapped in a cage, obviously he was going to lose. Although he had seen the victory or defeat, he did not help Quanchengkong, but just lay quietly on the roof of the ancestral hall, silent.
After Quan Chengkong held on hard for a while, he shouted, and suddenly grabbed the bamboo stick from Li Da with both hands, rubbed it hard, and snatched the bamboo stick from Li Da's hand. At the same time, Li Er and Li San's bamboo sticks had already arrived, and they all hit Quan Cheng's empty knee. He could not stand on his feet, so he fell to his knees on the snow. Seeing this, Li Da hurriedly stepped forward and stepped on the bamboo stick in Quan Chengkong's hand, while Li Er and Li San pressed their respective bamboo sticks on Quan Chengkong's body, not allowing him to get up and fight again.
"Quan Gongzi, how about our brother's three-star formation of bamboo sticks, can Gongzi defeat us easily?" Li Da said with a laugh standing in front of Quan Chengkong.
Quan Chengkong trembled and said: "Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated, what do you mean by asking? Since Quan someone was defeated by the three beggars of Hebei today, if he wants to kill him, he must listen to the respect! Humiliating people like you is not the work of a hero!"
When Li Da heard Quan Chengkong's words, he was slightly stunned, and then motioned to Li Er and Li San to move the bamboo sticks away, leaned over and helped Quan Chengkong up and said, "Quan Gongzi, you get up quickly." I'm really sorry, our brother is a coarse person, and he doesn't know what to kill or humiliate. I just think that if I win you, I have to be majestic, and if there is something inappropriate, please don't take it to heart. ”
Seeing that Li Da suddenly changed his face for no reason, he suddenly wondered: "What does this mean by senior?" Li Dahaha laughed and said: "Let's be honest with Quan Gongzi, if our martial arts day is sixteen, naturally we don't say anything, only fight." But Childe suddenly brought the day to today, so our competition can't just fight. Quan Chengkong still didn't understand what Li Da meant, and continued to ask: "The juniors still don't understand, what day is the day of this martial arts competition, and is there anything special about it?" Li Da plucked his ears and said: "Today's martial arts competition, first, is because Gongzi belittled my two brothers in front of everyone, and our brothers have to defeat you and vent their anger; ”
Quan Chengkong said solemnly: "Our agreement today, isn't it rare that it is not a life and death fight?" Li laughed and said: "What kind of life and death fight, it is just for them to outsiders, so that others will look down on our three brothers, think that we are too grassy, and we will not say anything on our faces when we are bullied." Speak and do not count. ”
Quan Chengkong shook his head and laughed: "It turned out that the three seniors came to entertain Quan Mou, but Quan Mou still regarded today's competition as the last battle and attached great importance to it, so the three seniors only regarded it as child's play." ”
Li Da smiled and said, "Childe, don't you want to know why we want to try your kung fu?"
Quan Chengkong flicked his sleeves and said, "I don't want to!" and turned around to leave.
Li Da dragged Quan Chengkong's left arm and said: "Quan Gongzi, I think your kung fu is good, and you are a good person, I want to invite you to do something big, you must promise me!"
Quan Chengkong said: "Senior, I'm sorry, Quan has no interest in what his predecessors are planning." ”
Li Dadao: "I haven't said what it is, why aren't you interested? What I invited you to do is a big thing for the benefit of the country and the people! The day after tomorrow, in Yishui Pavilion-"
"What, you just said 'Yishui Pavilion'?" Quan Chengkong turned to Li Da and asked in a loud voice.
"Ah, yes, the day after tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and Yishui Pavilion and the Daimyo's Mansion City have to hold lantern festivals. We got news from a friend on the road that Yelu Longqing, the younger brother of the Khitan Dog Emperor, would come to Yishui Pavilion to play in Weifu, so we united with some people to plan to kill that Yelu Longqing in Yishui Pavilion and turn the Lantern Festival into a Dog Killing Club. Li Da said to Quan Chengkong excitedly, "Do you think, that Yelu Longqing once led troops to kill thousands of soldiers and civilians of our Great Song Dynasty, if we can cut off his dog's head, it will be a great thing!
Quan Chengkong shook his head and said: "I'm really not very interested in this matter, senior, please be smart!"
Li Da dragged Quan Chengkong's arm and said, "No, you already know about this, I must not let you go!" As he spoke, Li Da had already signaled to Li Er and Li San with his eyes, asking the two of them to step forward and grab Quan Chengkong.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Quan Chengkong slapped Li Da on both shoulders with his right palm with all his might. Li Da felt as if his shoulder had been pricked by hundreds of silver needles, and he had to let go of his hands. Quan Chengkong took the opportunity to jump out quickly before the two brothers, Li Er and Li San, rushed out, faced the three beggars in Hebei, and left the ancestral hall backwards.
That Li Er and Li San would not work lightly, and when they saw that Quan Chengkong had fled far away, they did not chase after him, and squatted beside Li Da in frustration.
Li Er saw Li Da sitting on the ground, rubbing his shoulders constantly, so he asked eagerly: "Big brother, did this kid do you a cruel hand?" Li Da sighed and said: "Yes, we wanted to pull him to do big things, but I didn't expect him to not appreciate it and slapped me twice." Li Er scolded: "That ****, next time I see him, I must dismantle him!"
Li Da shook his head and said: "No, we have fought with so many people, when has the stick in my hand been taken away?" He can snatch the bamboo stick in my hand, it seems that his kung fu is much higher than ordinary people, if we fight alone, we may not be his opponents." If the three of us don't have a three-star array, it will be more difficult to catch him. The next time you see him, don't rush to do something with him, you have to tell me and the third child first, and then the three of us will compete with him to have a chance of winning. ”
When Li Er and Li San heard this, they both felt reasonable, so they nodded frequently in agreement.
Not long after Li Da finished speaking, he heard the overwhelming barking of dogs from a distance. Li Da reluctantly stood up and shouted loudly to the place where the dog barked: "Your grandmother's, the dog king, why did you arrive?"
I saw a bald man with delicate facial features leading a group of wild dogs to run towards the Li brothers, shouting as he ran: "Ah, Brother Li, I first found some food for the dog's sons, and then I rushed here!
"He doesn't want to come!" Li Daxin said unwillingly.
"Damn, this stinky boy! Then why don't you arrest him, if he leaks our plan, we won't be able to do a big deal!" He stopped with him a group of his "dog sons" -- a large herd of dogs, at least a hundred or so dogs.
Li Da said helplessly: "I can't catch him, we can't get home." If your dog son is here, we don't have to worry, you talk about you, and we won't come sooner. ”
"Don't I find food for them, I have to feed them, it's not easy for me, this snowy day ......"
Suddenly, the dog king saw that several dogs barked wildly at the top of the ancestral hall, so he stopped saying a word, and jumped up to the roof to see what was going on, but he didn't find anything unusual.
Just as the dog king was about to jump down, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a concave mark on the snow on the roof, as if someone had been lying there, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and shouted below: "Brother Li, there was a person lying on this roof just now!
