Chapter 11: The Bonfire Feast
The Xuan family has a big enemy, that is Zongjimen, who chased the Xuan family very badly, and there is a great benefactor, that is Mr. Lishan, who has secretly sheltered Qin Wei's father and son several times over the years. When Qin Zheng's father and son were cornered, it was also this senior of Xingyimen who supported his sick body, and when he was dying, he repaired books and asked them to switch to Qingyangzimen, which led to Qin Zheng's father and son's entry into Qin. Qin Zheng didn't know what the relationship between the Xuan family and Xingyimen had before, but he was present when Mr. Lishan was dying of repairing the book, and Qin Wei also told Qin Zheng again and again on the way to escape: "Over the years, we have been panicking like a lost dog, and we have seen through everything in the world, and we have even looked down on the friendship between the world, and even done many inappropriate things." But we must not forget the great kindness of Xingyimen!"
In fact, there is no need for his father's advice, Qin Zheng is both grateful and respectful to this old-timer who protected their father and son. Although Mr. Lishan is not among the five elders in the Xuanmen, he occupies an extremely important position in Qin Zheng's heart, he already has a good impression of Mrs. Zhu, and at this time he is a little more cordial, and thinks: "Listening to Mrs. Zhu's words, she knows a lot about the affairs of my Xuan family, well, most of them are made clear to her old man by Mr. Lishan's disciples." ”
Hearing Zhu Xu go out, Old Madam Zhu said to the tent: "Boy from the Yunji faction, wake up? Get up when you wake up! Your body is fine! The old woman knows!"
At this time, there was no one else in the tent, and Qin Zheng jumped up and came out of the curtain. Just now, through the bead curtain of the bed tent, I couldn't see Mrs. Zhu's face clearly, but then I saw that Mrs. Zhu was full of silver hair, a very wide forehead, bright eyes, but the corners of her eyes were like blades, and there were countless wrinkles hidden in the coldness, and she was expected to be an extremely spicy beauty when she was young. Qin Zheng didn't dare to look rudely directly, only glanced at it, then bowed down to the knees of Old Madam Zhu, and said, "Senior Qin Zheng, meet Old Madame." ”
Old Madam Zhu stepped aside and said, "What are you doing with me!" You have also been awake for a while, you should have heard some of the words just now, I saved you just to repay the favor of the Yunji faction, you don't have to take it to heart, the old woman is not afraid of being remembered by others, but she is afraid of being remembered. ”
I didn't want her to say these words, but Qin Zheng's eyes were hot, and he shed tears, and said: "Old lady, you are afraid of being remembered, but you and Mr. Lishan's great kindness to the juniors, how dare the juniors forget it? How can you forget it?"
Old Madam Zhu frowned slightly: "What is the relationship between you and my second senior brother?"
"Old lady, I'm ...... I am the junior of the Xuan family that Mr. Lishan sent to Qingniu Valley. ”
Old Madam Zhu was stunned at this time, looked at Qin Zheng and said, "You...... Are you from the Xuan family? The son of that kid from Xuan Liquan?" She is more than seventy years old, and her seniority is high, so she can call Qin Zheng's father a "boy".
Qin Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Lishan's great kindness, the younger generation can't repay it in this life and this life." But if you only teach the younger generation to have a breath, you won't dare to forget it in this life, as long as the Xuan family's bloodline still exists, you won't dare to forget the great kindness of Xingyimen. ”
Old Madam Zhu said: "In this way, Qingyangzi accepted you as an apprentice, what about your father?"
Qin Zheng choked up and said: "Father, my father has been killed by Sun Zongyi!" Perhaps because of Mr. Lishan, after Qin Zheng saw this old lady, it was like seeing his relatives, and the secrets and emotions that had been pressed in his heart for many years seemed to have been torn open, and they were all open all at once, and he cried bitterly when he said this.
Old Madam Zhu is knife mouth, tofu heart, her face is like iron, but her heart is soft, seeing Qin Zheng's crying appearance, she couldn't help but stretch out her hand to caress his hair, as if soothing her grandson, sighed: "Poor child, poor child." But I don't know if I was saying that Qin Wei was pitiful, or that Qin Zheng was pitiful, and said: "Then you didn't come here this time to help attack Taoyuan?"
Qin Zheng shook his head blankly: "I was just chasing a thief, and I came here by mistake, but I was involved in this right and wrong." ”
Mrs. Zhu bowed her head and said: "That's it, your Xuan family has a good relationship with Taoyuan, and you won't deliberately embarrass the Taoyuan family, if I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid that your little cub was also born in Taoyuan." ”
Qin Zheng was stunned when he heard this: "I...... I was born in a paradise?" he had no impression of this incident at all.
A few years ago, Qin Zheng had followed his father to find Taoyuan, which was the place where they had high hopes and hoped to escape from the pursuit of Zongjimen, and at this time, Old Madam Zhu actually said that she was born in Taoyuan, which could not help but surprise Qin Zheng.
"yes. The people who were taken in in Taoyuan were people who were not willing to belong to Beihu and were not tolerated by the Great Jin Dynasty for various reasons. Your Xuan family is in the south and has no support, but when you come to Taoyuan, the people there treat you as your own kind - because everyone in it is regarded as an alien by the people outside. Old Madam Zhu counted her fingers and said, "Alas, people are old, and they can't remember the years clearly, but I heard the second senior brother mention that your father took his big-bellied wife - most likely your mother hid in Taoyuan for a few years, and you should have been born there, and it would be right to come out after a few years." Why, you don't even remember?"
Qin Zheng tried hard to recall, but he didn't have the slightest impression.
Mrs. Zhu said: "That's probably because you're too young." ”
Qin Zheng has only listened to the matter of "killing Hu Ling" and Taoyuan since he heard about it, and he didn't feel that it had anything to do with him, and when he heard Mrs. Zhu say that he was born in Taoyuan, he suddenly had an urge to find out the details of Taoyuan.
Just as he was about to ask more about Taoyuan, someone outside the tent came to ask for peace, but it was Zhu Xu who sent someone to ask if "Xuanhezi" had woken up, and if so, General Zhu was invited. Mrs. Zhu said: "He probably wants to invite you to drink, your body is fine, just go for a while." If you have anything to say, let's talk about it later. ”
Qin Zheng came out with the attendant, secretly paying attention all the way, seeing that the army was lined up, and the formation was strict, he said in his heart: "Daddy once said that Xingyimen entered Xuanwu from the art of war, and it was roughly returned by the soldiers, although Zhu Xu is not a disciple of Xingyimen, but he has a family history, and in turn uses Xuanwu to enter the art of war, this formation is indeed exquisite!"
The guard did not take him to the main general's tent, but came to an open cliff, leaning on a lonely peak dozens of zhang high, facing a fierce deep stream, with a large bonfire in the middle, and more than 20 tables of wine and food around the bonfire, and one person sitting at each table, Qin Zhengxin said: "It turned out to be a bonfire night banquet." ”
The bonfire night banquet of the Hu people in the north is very common, but the Hu people usually sit on the ground, but Zhu Xu set up a wine table, which adds a bit of Han Swen.
Seeing him coming, one of them walked out quickly, and shouted, "Xuanhezi, why are you here?
Qin Zheng replied with a smile and said, "Thanks to Old Madam Zhu's treatment, there is no big problem. I fell from the sky at that time, but I didn't fall to my death, I think it must be Lord Wang who helped me pick up this little life. ”
Wang Pi smiled: "Don't call me an adult, if you don't dislike it, just call me a big brother." Brother, you are exhausted because of a misunderstanding, if I don't continue, let your brother bruise your hands and feet, and I don't know how to explain to Qingyang Zhenren when I return to Chang'an. ”
Qin Zheng was surprised and delighted, and said, "Chang'an?
"Yes, don't you know?" Wang Pi said, "Lingshi has accepted His Majesty's edict and become the head of the Daomen of the world, at that time, I didn't see Brother Xuanhe, you also asked, the real person said that your retreat is at a critical point, and you haven't followed for the time being, but Brother Yang Gou has already left a letter for you, Brother Xuanhe, haven't you seen it?"
Qin Zheng groaned slightly, understood the reason, and said, "Yes, it must have been stolen by that ugly monster!"
"Ugly?"
Qin Zheng said: "Lord Wang, you don't know, after the family teacher left, a thief came to Qingniu Valley, I didn't find the master's letter, it must be related to her!"
Wang Pi was surprised and surprised: "Which thief in the world is so bold, and he dares to go to Qingniu Valley to be presumptuous?"
Qin Zheng smiled: "That thief, her ability is not simple! But I haven't figured out her origin yet." ”
Just as he was about to speak, a majestic voice in the banquet said: "Wang Zhonglang, when do you want to talk to Xuanhe Dao Chief? There are dozens of masters here, but they are all waiting for Xuanhe Dao Chang to take a seat, so that they can have a glimpse of the demeanor of the Qingyang Sect people!"
Wang Pi slapped his forehead with his hand and blamed himself: "Ouch, what General Zhu said is, look at my temperament!" pulled Qin Zheng and said: "Come on, Brother Xuanhe, I'll introduce you to the heroes of the world!" and pulled Qin Zheng into the bonfire banquet.
As soon as Qin Zheng stepped in, he suddenly felt that the atmosphere around him had changed sharply, as if there were dozens of copper walls around him, and it was like he had accidentally strayed into the midst of thousands of troops.
It turned out that the more than 20 people at the banquet this time were all masters for a while, and everyone didn't know the prestige of Qingyangzi, and they had just heard that Qin Zheng was the only one of the four masters with the "Heavenly Thunder Movement". Although these more than 20 people did not make a move, the master was vigilant inside, and the momentum naturally came out of the outside, and the momentum of more than 20 people was intertwined, forming an extremely powerful coercion. If the people who were noticed by these more than 20 people at the same time were slightly weaker, they would tremble in their hearts and legs, and they would be killed, or they would rupture their liver and gallbladder and die on the spot. Qin Zheng's heart was cold, and the purple qi filled his whole body, and he was able to protect the Lingtai with the power of determination, but with a smile on his face, he slowly walked into the circle, as if nothing happened.
When the more than 20 people saw it, they all secretly praised him for his good concentration.
Qin Zheng saw that there were more than 20 people, and the costumes and appearances were divided into fourteen categories, each category was either two, or three, or only one person, and guessed that there were fourteen masters who participated in this bonfire night banquet. Zhu Xu sat at the top, a table on the left was empty, it was Wang Pi's seat, and an old man sat on the right, his eyes closed, as if he didn't see Qin Zheng come in at all.
Although the momentum of these more than 20 people is extremely strong, Qin Zheng's vision is high at this time, and his sensing ability is very strong, and he can vaguely distinguish that the momentum of these people is basically strong inside and weak outside-several people close to Zhu Xu's momentum is round, and their skills are unfathomable, since then a few people are second, Wang Pi's ability is afraid that he is the weakest in this group of people, he can sit on the left side of Zhu Xu, which is expected to be related to the fact that he is Wang Meng's son.
Qin Zheng found that Mao Yunzi, Tang Liusheng, and Liuyu Fairy, who had fought with him, were also among them, Tang Liusheng sat in the sixth column on the left, Mao Yunzi sat in the seventh column on the right, and the Fairy Liuyu sat in the ninth column on the right, but Yan Yiping and Naer Gongzi did not come. The table is divided into two columns, after the Wei and Jin dynasties, the etiquette is still left, remove the royal skin and do not count, the sixth on the left, the seventh on the right, and the ninth on the right, that is the tenth, thirteenth, and seventeenth in the total ranking.
Three days ago, although Qin Zheng fought with one enemy and five enemies, but it was desperate, if he really made a move, he thought that his skills might not be able to beat Tang Liusheng, compared to Mao Yunzi and Liuyu Fairy, he may not be much stronger, seeing that these four people can only rank in the middle or even the back of the more than 20 people, his heart was very shocked, and he suddenly remembered the words of Mr. Yan on the bank of the Danjiang River, and said in his heart: "That Mr. Yan said that there are dozens of masters gathered here, and I didn't think much of it at the time, but I didn't expect these dozens of masters to be of this level." When this group of people gathers like this, they are more powerful than thousands of troops!" It is usually difficult to meet a master like this, but at this time, he saw more than twenty at once, Qin Zheng couldn't help but think in his heart: "Could it be that the Xuanmen of the world have already been attached to Fu Qin?"
