Just finished the funeral of Hua Taigong, Hua Qian is now going to talk about the funeral of his second uncle Hua Yongwei again.

Hua Yongwei's head had been sewn to his torso, and his entire body was lying peacefully in the mourning hall - the second leatherman found by the Hua family had good craftsmanship, and it was impossible to see that this head had been separated from his body from a distance. And his wide round eyes were also closed by Hua Qian.

Hua Qian looked at Hua Yongwei's face and said to Xu Yun beside him: "Growing so big, it's the first time I've seen my second uncle lying so calmly and not moving." I always have a feeling that my second uncle will suddenly get up and yell at me, pointing to my nose and saying that I am not doing right here and there, and scolding me so much that I am bloody and incomplete. It's really strange to see him so quiet now. ”

Having lost two relatives one after another, Xu Yun didn't know how to comfort Hua Qian, so he had to pat him on the shoulder and shake his head.

The Mao Mouse, who had returned from collecting accounts from a nearby village, looked at the smooth wound on Hua Yongwei's neck, and said suspiciously: "Master Hua, Second Master Hua's wound looks like it was done by a master with a knife, could it be that Second Master Hua still has enemies in the rivers and lakes?"

Hua Qian said: "The second uncle's temperament is upright, and there is no room for sand in his eyes, he has indeed offended many people, but if there are any enemies, I really can't think of it." What's more, the second uncle has been in the army for many years, and he doesn't get involved in the affairs of the rivers and lakes at all, so how can he have any grievances with the martial arts masters? Obviously, this murderer is not just for the second uncle, but to deal with our entire Hua family. ”

Xu Yun nodded, thoughtfully, and suddenly said to Mao Mouse: "Old Mao, do you know who Gongsun Liangbi is?"

Mao Zizi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said: "Gongsun Liangbi is the second hall master of Wanyingtang, and he is now in Hebei. Have you forgotten what I mentioned to you before?"

"I'm ashamed, at that time, I was only thinking about the beggars' gang trying to kill Yelu Longqing, and I didn't pay attention. Xu Yundao, "What kind of gang is this Wan Yingtang?"

"What kind of gang is it? If you want me to see it, it's similar to the Heavenly King Gang, they are all quite ambitious, and they want to dominate the martial arts. However, when Wan Yingtang does things, he doesn't pay attention to the rules of the rivers and lakes more than the Tianwang Gang. Because most of the disciples under the Wan Ying Hall were already famous villains in the rivers and lakes before they joined the gang. Mao Mouse touched the mustache on his lips and said, "The hall master of this Wanying Hall is named Gongsun Liangyu, and that Gongsun Liangbi is his own brother." In the past, Gongsun Liangyu only led Wanyingtang to run rampant in the Bashu area, but he didn't expect that in recent years, it has become bigger and bigger, and has become dominant in the Jingchu area and Shaanxi area, and now he has extended his hand to Hebei. That Gongsun Liangbi came to Hebei with many people, presumably with the intention of dominating Hebei's martial arts. ”

"Foreign gangs want to dominate Hebei, but they can't do it without the help of external forces, so they will go to the rescue of Yelu Longqing, and want to take this opportunity to get closer to this Khitan prince. After all, the city of Nanjing, which Yelu Longqing guarded, was next to Hebei, and he could secretly ask for help at a critical moment. And the famous Hua family, who has a lot of prestige in the rivers and lakes, is a stumbling block for him Wan Yingtang to dominate Hebei, so it is necessary to reduce its strength and get rid of it quickly. In this way, everything makes sense. Xu Yun nodded, then turned to Hua Qian and said, "Xiao Qian, that Gongsun Liangbi, you have also seen it." On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the scholar holding a folding fan in Yishui Pavilion was Gongsun Liangbi. ”

"What, do you suspect that the death of the second uncle is related to this Gongsun Liangbi?" Hua Qian tried to recall the appearance of Gongsun Liangbi and asked Xu Yundao.

Xu Yun nodded again: "Well, but it shouldn't be him who did it." At that time, there was a thin old man sitting next to him, do you remember?"

Hua Qian frowned and said: "I remember, that person was wearing a hat, and the look on his face was still gloomy, which didn't match the atmosphere of Yishui Pavilion at that time, such a special person, it was difficult to forget." Could this person be the murderer?"

"If I'm not mistaken, he should be the one who killed Second Uncle Hua. The two attendants were both cut off by the murderer. However, Second Uncle Hua's back obviously had a fatal wound, but the murderer still had to cut off his head, which shows that the murderer likes to cut off people's heads. Xu Yun looked at the scar on Hua Yongwei's neck and analyzed, "As far as I know, thirty or forty years ago, there was a knife master in the Bashu area who took pleasure in cutting people's heads, and if he lived until now, he would probably be the age of the old man." And the weapons used by the old man during the fight in Yishui Pavilion that day, I remember that they were two lancets. In addition, he is the entourage of Sun Liangbi, the second hall master of Bashu Wanyingtang, which shows that the old man with a hat is very likely to be the bloodthirsty killer who rampaged in Bashu decades ago. And this bloodthirsty killer is the real murderer who killed Second Uncle Hua. ”

When Hua Qian learned who the real murderer was, he couldn't help but feel depressed, and he wished that he could personally kill Gongsun Liangbi and his party who he saw in Yishui Pavilion on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Suddenly, he remembered that the third uncle Hua Yongfu and Gongsun Liangbi and the others had been acting together that day, and he couldn't help but be frightened: "Brother Yun, you said that the people of Wanyingtang wanted to kill my second uncle, does he know about my third uncle?"

Xu Yun naturally understood why Hua Qian said this, in fact, he had thought about this issue in his heart, but he felt that Hua Yongfu should not be involved: "I definitely don't know." Although Uncle Hua is a little eccentric, everything he does is still for the Hua family. If he knew that Second Uncle Hua was in danger, he would definitely help. ”

"According to what you say, will Wan Yingtang attack the third uncle next?" Hua Qian listened to Xu Yun's words, and his heart became more and more flustered.

"Wan Yingtang wants to overwhelm the Hua family, he doesn't necessarily have to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, I think Third Uncle Hua may be the target of Gongsun Liangbi's desire to win over. After all, on the issue of dealing with Yelu Longqing, the two of them had the same idea. Xu Yun shook his head and said, "Don't forget, in addition to the Hua family, there are also beggars who have prestige in Hebei Wulin." If Wan Yingtang wants to deal with the beggar gang, he still needs helpers, so they will win over your third uncle. ”

"Then what should we do, this Wan Yingtang seems to be very powerful, can we avenge the second uncle's revenge?" Hua Qian looked helpless.

Xu Yun clenched his fists with both hands and said: "Revenge, of course you have to revenge, but it's not right now." You don't know martial arts, you just go to die in vain. Your third uncle is probably vacillating now, and he can't count on him. The best way is to bring the beggars and the martial arts shopkeeper of Yishui Pavilion to your side and deal with Wan Yingtang together. But because I had fought with the Beggar Gang and the people of Yishui Pavilion before, I couldn't come forward, so as not to arouse their hostility. How to join forces with them is up to you to do it yourself. ”

Hua Qian heard Xu Yun mention Wu Chengfang, remembering the night spent together in the broken ancestral hall that day, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, but then he put away his heart and listened attentively. After Xu Yun finished speaking, Hua Qian shook his head and sighed: "Alas, Brother Yun, are your so-called rivers and lakes really so sinister? Now I know that this river and lake is full of conspiracy and intrigues, and you people in the martial arts are not easier than those people in the temple. ”

Xu Yun smiled and said: "What do you mean by 'you martial arts people', don't forget, you were born in the famous Hua family, and you are one of the 'Four Sons of Martial Arts', you have long been in the rivers and lakes." ”

Hua Qian sat on the chair as if deflated, and said impatiently: "Alas, I have already said it, I am not the 'Fourth Prince of Martial Arts', they didn't tell me when they commented, and now they want to impose this name on me, what is this? By the way, isn't there such a thing as washing hands in a golden basin? Can I quit martial arts?"

"What's the matter, it's troublesome again?" Xu Yun asked when he saw Hua Qian retreating.

"A little. Hua Qian's words were very disappointed.

Xu Yun stepped forward and pulled Hua Qian up, and said sharply: "Trouble, you have to be on top too! Don't forget that you are now the head of the Hua family, and you are a figure with a face in the rivers and lakes, not the idle son and brother in the past." What you carry on your shoulders is the life of everyone in the entire Hua family! Any one of your actions may harm these people!"

Hua Qian had never seen Xu Yun do this to himself, and he had never seen him do this to others, so he couldn't help but be surprised, hurriedly waved his hand away and pushed Xu Yun away, sat down directly and said, "Even if I'm in the rivers and lakes, now I can't quit this rivers and lakes in order to keep everyone safe?"

"It's easy to say, do you think that the rivers and lakes are where you can come and go when you want?" Xu Yun reprimanded.

"Why can't you? Don't you just come and leave if you want? If you want to quit the rivers and lakes, as soon as you disappear, it will be ten years!" Hua Qian said in a loud voice.

"Smack!" a slap hit Hua Qian hard in the face.

Hua Qian covered his face and looked at Xu Yun in surprise, he didn't expect Xu Yun to make a move, even the Mao Mouse and the Hua family on the side were all stunned.

"Xiaoqian, you are wrong, once you enter the rivers and lakes, you will be trapped in the rivers and lakes for the rest of your life. I thought I would never set foot in the world again, but I was wrong. God only gave me ten years, and then pushed me into the middle of the world. Xu Yun sat down dejectedly and said softly.

Hua Qian seemed to understand what Xu Yun meant: "Could it be that when you are in the rivers and lakes, you can't help yourself at all?"

Xu Yun regained his composure and said to Hua Qian: "Those talents in Wanyingtang don't care if you really quit the rivers and lakes. If you give him three points, he won't respect you for a point, he will only continue to be aggressive and aggressive. In their eyes, the Hua family is an obstacle to their hegemony, how can you reach the top if you don't get rid of the obstacles? If you want to live freely, no one can stop you, but you don't forget that the burden on your shoulders can't be thrown away. If the Hua family is defeated in your hands, how will you face Grandpa Hua and Second Uncle Hua under Jiuquan in the future? If you want to keep the Hua family, you can't blindly back down, and only by constantly maneuvering with your opponent and being invincible in the rivers and lakes can you keep the Hua family safe. ”

Hua Qian looked at Xu Yun and asked tentatively, "Brother Yun, do you mean to let me compete with that Gongsun Liangbi for hegemony?"

"If you want to, you can. As long as you can find a suitable road, you can gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes, but don't make soft persimmons. I believe that with your intellect, as long as you are willing to do it, there is nothing that you can't do. It's just that sometimes you're too lazy, and you don't want to pay attention to this trouble, or that trouble. Xu Yun said earnestly.

"I see. Hua Qian said thoughtfully.

Xu Yun looked at Hua Qian's slightly red and swollen cheeks, and said apologetically: "Xiao Qian, that slap just now, it was my fault, I shouldn't have done it." ”

"You know how to bully me. Hua Qian smiled, "Don't think I'm easy to mess with, I'm too lazy to do anything with you." ”

Xu Yun smiled, looking at the body of Zhonghua Yongwei in the mourning hall, he couldn't help but feel ashamed: "Alas, just now I and Xiao Qian quarreled in front of Second Uncle Hua, if he knows under the spring, he must be cold!"

There was silence in the mourning hall, and Xu Yun silently recalled all the things that happened on the fifteenth night, and secretly speculated: "That Lu Qi may also be from Wanyingtang." Also, Wu Renyi will appear in Hebei, probably like Gongsun Liangbi, who is also playing the idea of dominating Hebei. Therefore, Lu Qi secretly drugged that day, mainly to Wu Renyi, in order to weaken the strength of the Heavenly King Gang in Hebei, so he did not harm my life. In this way, Wu Renyi is probably more than lucky. ”

"Open the door, open the door, the people inside open the door!" Suddenly, someone outside the courtyard banged on the door and made a loud noise.

Hua Qian listened to the shouting and said, "Who is so rude that you dare to shout in front of the Hua family like this?" So he walked out of the mourning hall and motioned for his subordinates to open the door.

As soon as the latch was removed, I saw Li Da, one of the three beggars in Hebei, pushing the door in, holding a bamboo stick and shouting loudly: "Xu Yun, that brute!
