Chapter 75 Chixiao talks

"It's really sad that your parents suffered this catastrophe. Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info After I sent you to Chenjia Village, I suddenly learned that several chivalrous warriors disappeared overnight in the rivers and lakes, but I thought that I was also implicated in the Shilang case, so I said that someone wanted to make trouble in the rivers and lakes. Worried, I postponed my return trip and investigated in the Lin'an area, and finally understood what happened to the whole thing, and these missing knights were killed because they participated in the Fang family's case. Fu Sansi said.

Yang Zhan nodded, these had been confirmed in the Netherworld Valley and Starlight Lake. But to Yang Zhan's surprise, Fu Sansi saw through the common background of these murdered knights at a glance: the first is that they became famous rangers, each with their own unique skills, the second is that they are far away from Lin'an, and they are by no means locals; and the third is that they have many bags before they die, although they are empty, they must have important items.

"These people persecuted the loyal and good for the sake of money, but in the end they also ended up with a field of lifeless spending. Yang Zhan said desolately.

This is the reward of good and the reward of evil. Fu Sansi said silently.

"According to the above clues, I searched for the inn in the city, and sure enough, some knights left with large and small burdens after being sacked in the Shilang Mansion. The north road of Lin'an City is not passable, and the east is near the sea, which is not the way for them to leave. After thinking about it, I chased two hundred miles towards the west gate of Lin'an City, and really met a ranger who was in a hurry with a large package. Fu Sansi recalled.

"Who is he?" Yang Zhan asked anxiously.

"He was very wary of outsiders, and when he saw me chasing him, he absconded with all his might. But at this time, another young knight flew after him, but the light skills he used were extremely clever. Fu Sansi said.

"Presumably he was killed to kill him, but I wonder if he died at the hands of that young knight in the end?" Yang Zhan asked.

"The martial arts cultivation of young chivalrous men is rare in the world, if the two fight, then the ranger naturally has only one way to die. But the funny thing is that after the boy chased him to the hillside, he was nowhere to be seen. Fu Sansi said slowly.

"Could it be that he will be able to escape the earth, or will he be able to play tricks?" Yang Zhan was puzzled.

"When the boy chased him to the mound, I noticed an old woman coming past me. When I got closer, I saw a little bead of sweat on the back of her ears, although she looked peaceful, but it couldn't hide her strong behavior. Fu Sansi said carefully.

"Is there a problem with this old woman?" Yang Zhan hesitated.

"Haha, yes, this old woman is the ranger in disguise. It's just that the boy who chased him lacked some experience in the rivers and lakes, so he missed it. Fu Sansi said.

"It's just that there is no shortage of people in the world who are good at disguise techniques, but how can we determine what the identity of this person is?" Yang Zhan said a little anxiously.

"Although that young man has less experience in the rivers and lakes, he is extremely cautious in his actions, and the one who can get through under his nose is by no means a simple disguise master. This ranger was able to disguise himself as an old woman, and in addition to the disguise technique, he also used the bone shrinking technique. The two complement each other in order to confuse the real with the false. Fu Sansi sighed.

"A big man can shrink into an old woman, how can there be such a strange martial arts in the world?" Yang Zhan asked in surprise.

"Bone shrinking is not a martial art, it is completely because some people's bones are born with strange bones, and after the bones of the whole body are softened, the skin can be controlled by internal force, and a different appearance can be formed. That's why the old woman was able to pretend to be so real. Fu Sansi said.

Yang Zhan nodded silently.

"Later, I learned about the people on the rivers and lakes who have both martial arts cultivation and bone shrinking skills. After much understanding, it was determined that the person who absconded in disguise as an old woman that day was Tao Yong, a guest in Huangshan. Fu Sansi said seriously.

"Huangshan is a guest - Tao Yong?" Yang Zhan said hesitantly. Such a figure was something he had never heard of.

Fu Sansi could hear his confusion from Yang Zhan's words, so he said slowly: "More than 20 years ago, Tao Yong was indeed the number one person, and the snake blade sword he made went sideways, and it was always unexpected. But he also disappeared from the world after the Shilang Mansion case, and was never seen again. ”

Yang Zhan had to sigh helplessly.

"If he is still alive in the world, I believe that he will definitely be in the Huangshan Mountains. Fu Sansi said after pondering for a moment.

"Why is that?" Yang Zhan asked puzzled.

"Tao Yong has a withdrawn temperament and is resourceful, and must understand the truth that the most dangerous place is the safest place. Fu Sansi said.

"Thank you Daoist Fu for your advice. I will definitely go to Huangshan to find out the truth of Tao Yong. Yang Zhan said firmly.

"Zhan'er, the murder of your parents and grandfather's family has a very complicated background, in addition to the power of the imperial court, there is also the figure of the Jin people. And the martial arts people involved in it are just low-class people who have been bought by money. Fu Sansi sighed.

"What the hell is going on?" Yang Zhan said confusedly.

"It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that on the day Fang Wanli was killed, a golden envoy quietly went to Shilang's mansion, and these people in the rivers and lakes decided that Fang Wanli was collaborating with the enemy, so they killed all the golden envoys and the Fang Mansion. Later, the imperial court paid a huge amount of money to apologize to the Jin State for this, and only then did it reluctantly resolve a dispute. Fu Sansi said regretfully.

"My grandfather was fair and honest, and when he was in office, he was bent on saving the country, how could he be a collaborator with the enemy? Yang Zhan said indignantly.

"Fang Shilang is iron-clad, I have also heard of it, and no one with a little mind will believe such words. Fang Shilang's murder did have partisan jealousy, but it was by no means the only one. Fu Sansi also said sadly.

"What does Daoist Fu mean?" Yang Zhan asked.

"At that time, Jin was strong and Song was weak, so I would like to ask which faction in the court had the ability to control the Jin envoys to go to Fangfu? Not to mention that at this time, the Jin soldiers lined up on the north bank of the Huai River, and there was a great tendency to level the Zhao and Song dynasties. And at this time, killing the golden envoy is not providing an excuse for them to invade the south?" Fu Sansi said anxiously.

Yang Zhan suddenly came to his senses, and said again and again: "The mastermind behind this is to provoke the Song and Jin wars, which is really too vicious. ”

"Yes, on the surface, they are accused of collaborating with the enemy, but in fact, they want to push Zhao Song into the abyss of war. But back then, the plan was an important case approved by the emperor, and the court officials knew all about it, but why didn't they even see such a reason clearly, and they took the risk of making this move?" Fu Sansi said regretfully.

"It seems that this mastermind behind the scenes is not only powerful, but also extremely calculating, but he can only carry out this vicious plan in secret. Yang Zhan said angrily.

Fu Sansi nodded, and also agreed with Yang Zhan's opinion.

"I once consulted a high-ranking person, and he said that the case of my grandfather was framed by traitors such as Wan Qiaowei and Tang Siwei. Could it be that these two people defected to the Jin Kingdom and wanted to use this matter to join forces with Jin Bing?" Yang Zhan said thoughtfully.

"I thought so at first, but the next 20 years were peaceful, which shows that they did not collude with the Jin Kingdom. But the two of them have been immersed in officialdom for decades, so it is impossible not to see through the risks?" Fu Sansi said confusedly.

Yang Zhan and Fu Sansi immediately fell into silence. After a long time, Yang Zhan finally spoke first: "In the tragedy of the grandfather back then, who could command the golden envoy?"

"The Jin envoy is appointed by the lord of the Jin country, which is equivalent to my minister of the Great Song Dynasty, if it is not ordered by the lord of the Jin country, no one can command them. At that time, the plan was in the confidential stage, and even if he intended to cause trouble, it would never have been arranged so quickly and on time. Fu Sansi said seriously.

"Daoist Fu, I have something to ask you?" Yang Zhan said with a frown.

"Zhan'er, please speak. Fu Sansi replied kindly.

"Did those golden envoys die in the Shilang Mansion?" Yang Zhan asked.

"Fang Shilang has taken the fight against Jin as his mission all his life, how could he meet with the envoys of the Jin State? Those Jin envoys naturally died outside the palace. Later, the imperial court disposed of some prisoners on the grounds that the rogues had committed crimes, which could be regarded as giving Jin Guo an irrefutable explanation. Fu Sansi replied.

"That's right, those golden envoys must have been deceived by design. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the imperial court to deal with the aftermath like this. Yang Zhan said categorically.

Fu Sansi pondered for a while, but also nodded frequently and said, "This is the only reasonable explanation." It can not only hide from the court, but also achieve the purpose of evil. ”

Yang Zhan also nodded, the key to the tragedy of his grandfather's family back then was actually why these golden envoys went to his grandfather's house? Who asked them to go? Now that they have figured out the first question, how should the second question be answered?

It's just that this question is too lingering, and Fu Sansi can't answer it. The two of them then fell into a deep dwelling again.

"Daoist Fu, have you heard of Zhao Siyan?" Yang Zhan suddenly remembered what Liu Gongdu had given him on the shore of Starlight Lake, and said it.

"When I was cultivating in this Cuiyan Peak, I heard some visiting Taoist friends talk about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and they seemed to have talked about such a rising star who has made a lot of achievements. But I don't know why Zhan'er mentioned him?" Fu Sansi was puzzled.

"I once met Liu Gongdu, who was involved in this matter at Xingguang Lake in Shuzhong, and I heard him say that it was Zhao Feiyan who contacted the Jianghu Ranger to kill his grandfather's family. Yang Zhan said sadly.

"Nanyang Liu Gongdu was also involved in this matter? No wonder he disappeared overnight twenty years ago. However, Zhao Siyan is just a rising star in the rivers and lakes, and he is afraid that he will not even be able to see the face of the golden envoy, but how can he deceive the golden envoy? Not to mention that his surname is Zhao, and he must be a citizen of the Great Song Dynasty, and provoking a war between the two countries will only make his family and compatriots suffer, but why do he do this?" Fu Sansi sighed.

Fu Sansi said that it did make sense, but Yang Zhan couldn't figure it out for a while, so he had to stop asking about it.

"But since you said that Zhao Siyan was the one who bought the rangers, I remembered that the boy I met when I pursued Tao Yong that day should be him. Fu Sansi said openly.

Yang Zhan immediately asked Fu Sansi about Zhao Siyan's appearance, but the reply he received was a handsome young man with a good demeanor, who looked roughly, but he was as delicate as a woman.

Yang Zhan said disdainfully: "Although Tao Yong and others killed my grandfather's family, they were also bought by Zhao Siyan, but unexpectedly, he turned his face and didn't recognize people as soon as the matter was over, and he was expected to be a vicious person." ”

Although Zhao Siyan became famous very early, she also disappeared from the world twenty years ago, like other people involved in this matter. That's fine, otherwise Wulin may have to add another ruthless character. Fu Sansi said with relief.

Yang Zhan then chatted with Fu Sansi for a long time, but he didn't say anything about his parents' enmity. Fu Sansi has not had such a heart-to-heart relationship with someone for many years, and this long talk is also very comfortable.

"By the way, how can Dao Fu's eyes ......," Yang Zhan suddenly asked uncomfortably.

"Haha, when people are old, they are difficult to be deaf and clear. Birth, old age, sickness and death, the cycle of reciprocation, is as natural as spring, summer, autumn and winter, but it is nothing. Looking back on the past 70 years, there is no misery in life. Fu Sansi said open-mindedly.

"But there is no misery in life?" Yang Zhan said confusedly.

"No matter how difficult things you encounter today, if you look at them tomorrow, you will feel that it is nothing more than that. Therefore, Zhan'er, the most important thing in life is to return to peace and nature in the heart, so that you can live your life well. Fu Sansi said earnestly.

"Daoist Fu's teachings, Yang Zhan remembered in his heart. Yang Zhan said with feeling.

Fu Sansi nodded with relief.

"Daoist Fu saved my life twenty-one years ago, but I was late, I am really ashamed. I want to spend more time with your old man in this Chixiao Temple. Yang Zhan said sincerely.

"Haha, seeing that Zhan'er is now humble and kind, I am also happy in my heart. But I've devoted my whole life to cultivating, and I'm already used to it, so you should do what you haven't done. Fu Sansi said in a harmonious voice.

Yang Zhan was reluctant to leave Fu Sansi, but Fu Sansi returned to the gauze tent and sat up quietly, ignoring Yang Zhan anymore.

Yang Zhan was sour in his heart, and only bowed three times to the old man in the gauze tent, and recited "take care" all the way before exiting the house.

Yang Zhan only felt that he owed too much to this veteran, but he couldn't think of any way to thank him, so he had to stand outside the door for a long time.

"But there is no misery in life. Take care, Daoist Fu. Yang Zhan said sincerely in his heart, and this is the Chixiao View.

Yang Zhan rode his horse and let it walk freely, because in his heart, he had been thinking about who would make the golden envoy leave the post house back then, and this was the last mystery veil covering the truth.

On the opposite side of the "Zhan'er ......" road, there was a sudden emotional call.

Yang Zhan suddenly moved in his heart, and looked up, but it wasn't Hua Linglong, who was it?

"Zhan'er!" Hua Linglong called again, and suddenly tears rolled down in unison.

"Sister Hua!" Yang Zhan shouted excitedly, and rode away.

But Hua Linglong was only stunned and immediately put in place, but she seemed to be weak and couldn't walk anymore. Yang Zhan approached, but saw that Hua Linglong's face was full of wind and frost at this time, her face was haggard, and her sad eyes with two lines of pink tears were indescribably ashamed and distressed.

"Sister Hua, I'm Yang Zhan. Yang Zhan saw that she looked aggrieved and tired, so he hurriedly jumped off the horse and said.

Hua Linglong looked at Yang Zhan with a vein, but her eyes turned from sadness to joy, but she continued to be sad again soon.

Yang Zhan looked at her back and forth, but thought that she must have suffered a lot when she came all the way here to find herself. With such a thought, Yang Zhan couldn't help but feel guilty and said, "That day, I blamed Sister Hua for driving you away in the vast grassland, which was really too much." Now I apologize to Sister Hua and hope you can forgive me. ”

Hua Linglong stared at Yang Zhan, and the sadness in her eyes was finally fixed into joy. Just as she was about to come down with joy, she couldn't help but feel a dullness in her chest, and then she vomited another mouthful of blood, and the person had fallen from the horse.

Yang Zhan was taken aback, and hurriedly flew forward to catch Hua Linglong, but at that time, she had blood in her mouth and passed out unconscious.
