Chapter 6: The King of the Golden Peng

On the official road near the border of Ming and Liao, three fast horses galloped wildly, and one of them said, "Brother Gu, you will arrive at Huo Xiu's mansion in one hour."

"Oh, I know, Brother Lu," another said. That's right, these three people are Gu Jianfei and Lu Xiaofeng, as well as Tian Boguang, the new head catcher in Hengyang.

Before coming to the door of Huofu, Tian Boguang went to call the door, and in less than a moment, a person dressed as a housekeeper came to the door and said, "May I ask what the three of you are doing when you come to Huofu."

Lu Xiaofeng stepped forward and said, "I am Lu Xiaofeng, and I am friends with your master Huo Xiunai, and now I have come to visit him."

"Oh, please wait a minute, let me go and report to the master," said the butler.

After a while, I saw a thin old man walking out with the housekeeper, "Hahaha, Lu Xiaofeng, you guy actually came back to see me, it really made the old man unexpected," Huo Xiu said.

This Huo Xiu is a legendary figure who has the most wealth and real estate in the world, the Jiangnan Hua family, and the Yan family in Guanzhong, who has the most jewelry, but the real richest person is only Huo Xiu.

Although this man was rich in the world, he lived a hermit-like life, so few people could see his true face, only that he was a very withdrawn and eccentric old man.

"Hehe, I haven't seen him for many years, and I'm still so radiant," Lu Xiaofeng snorted. "Haha, you guy, don't stand outside the door anymore, please come in," Huo Xiu invited the three of them into the mansion, sat down in the lobby, changed to Lu Xiaofeng, and asked, "Lu Xiaofeng, which two friends are these two good friends?"

"Huo Lao, these two friends are amazing," Lu Xiaofeng replied, pointing to the ancient sword and said, "This is the invincible county order Gu Jian Fei Gu who is rumored in the rivers and lakes."

"Hey, it turned out to be the invincible county order that captured Tian Boguang and Fei Bin, and at the moment, the old man is really out of reach," Huo Xiu stood up and said.

"Hehe, friends carry love," Gu Jianfei arched his hand.

"This is what you just said about Tian Boguang who was captured by the ancient brother," this is Lu Xiaofeng pointed at Tian Boguang and said to Huo Xiu.

"Eh, hahaha, Tian Daxia looks at the old man's broken mouth, is it not here to accompany Tian Daxia" Huo Xiu said with an embarrassed face.

"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay," Tian Boguang said unhappily

"By the way, Lu Xiaofeng, what is the matter with your visit this time," Huo Xiu asked.

"I knew that I couldn't hide it from Huo Lao," Lu Xiaofeng told Huo Xiu about the Great Golden Peng King.

"The old man has never heard of any Jinpeng Kingdom, let alone any Yan Liben, Ping Duhe, Shangguan Mu, and the old man is called Huo Xiu," Huo Xiu stared at Lu Xiaofeng and snorted coldly......

Tian Boguang was just about to stand up and distinguish with Huo Xiu, when he was pressed by Gu Jianfei and said to Huo Xiu, "Since Master Huo doesn't know about this, then I won't bother to say goodbye," After speaking, he pulled Lu Xiaofeng and Tian Boguang and walked out.

"Don't send it if you go slowly," Huo Xiu said coldly.

"My lord, this Huo Xiu is too uplifting, do you want to teach him a lesson" Tian Boguang flew towards the ancient sword.

"Brother Tian, you don't have to, you are not this Huo Xiu's opponent, just now I felt that this Huo Xiu is no longer under Lu," Lu Xiaofeng said.

It turned out that five days ago, Lu Xiaofeng took Gu Jianfei and Tian Boguang to find Princess Danfeng, "Princess Danfeng, this is the helper Lu Mou found," Lu Xiaofeng said to Shangguan Danfeng, "Oh, then you follow me to a place" Shangguan Danfeng took the three of them to walk out of the city, and after coming to a manor, Shangguan Danfeng said, "Follow me", the corridor was gloomy and dark, as if the sun could not be seen for many years. At the end of the corridor was a large door, but the gold ring on the door was shining.

When they opened the door, they saw the King of the Golden Peng.

The King of the Golden Wings is not a very tall man.

His man seemed to have shriveled and withered by the passage of time and the wear and tear of his ambitions, just as a great cockscomb had just withered in the annoying west wind.

He sat on a large chair covered with brocade cushions, making him look like a withered pine that had sunk into the clouds on a high mountain.

But Lu Xiaofeng and the others were not disappointed, because his eyes were still shining, and his demeanor still carried an indescribable dignity and nobility. Princess Danfeng had also walked over gently, bowing down at his feet, as if she was recounting the journey in a low voice.

King Jinpeng had a pair of shining eyes, but he was always staring at Lu Xiaofeng, and suddenly said, "Young man, come here." ”

His voice was deep and powerful, and his words seemed to be commands. Lu Xiaofeng didn't walk over.

Lu Xiaofeng was not a person who was used to receiving orders, but instead sat down and sat far away on a chair opposite the old man.

The light in the room was also very dim, but the eyes of the Great Golden Peng King were even brighter, and he said sharply: "You are Lu Xiaofeng?"

Lu Xiaofeng said lightly: "It's Lu Xiaofeng, not Shangguan Danfeng." ”

He now knew that his surname was Shangguanβ€”that in the old days everyone in their dynasty had the surname Shangguan, and everyone had been proud of their surname for generations.

King Jinpeng suddenly laughed and said, "Okay, Lu Xiaofeng really deserves to be Lu Xiaofeng, it seems that we are not looking for the wrong person." ”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "I also hope I didn't find the wrong person." ”

King Da Jinpeng said: "Are you looking for flowers all over the building?"

Lu Xiaofeng nodded.

King Dajinpeng said: "He is very good, as long as you promise me one thing, you can see him at any time." ”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "What are you talking about?"

The King of the Golden Wings did not directly answer this sentence.

He stared at a very strange form of the ring in his hand, and a strange light suddenly flashed on his old face. After a long time, he slowly said: "Our dynasty is a very ancient dynasty, and our dynasty has existed long before your dynasty has been established. ”

His voice became more powerful, clearly proud of his surname and lineage.

Lu Xiaofeng didn't want to destroy the dignity of a dying old man, so he only listened and didn't say anything.

King Dajinpeng said: "Although our dynasty has declined now, the blood we shed is still the blood of the royal family, as long as our people are still alive, our dynasty will never be wiped out!"

His voice was not only full of pride, but also full of confidence.

Lu Xiaofeng suddenly felt that this old man did have something worthy of his respect, at least he was not a person who could be easily knocked down.

Lu Xiaofeng has always respected this kind of people, respecting their courage and confidence.

King Dajinpeng said: "Although our dynasty was established in a far away place, it has been prosperous for generations, not only producing abundant harvests, but also countless golden sands and treasures in the deep mountains. ”

Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but ask, "Then why did you come to Middle-earth?" The brilliance on the face of the Great Golden Peng King dimmed, and his eyes also showed a deep hatred, and said: "It is because of our wealth that we have aroused the coveting of neighboring countries, and we have united with the Cossack iron cavalry to lead troops to attack. ”

He continued gloomily: "That was fifty years ago, when I was still young, the first king has always paid attention to civil governance, of course, he can't resist their kind of strong and barbaric cavalry, but he still decided to defend to the death and survive with the country." ”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Did he ask you to take refuge in Middle-earth?"

King Jinpeng nodded and said, "In order to preserve a part of his strength and seek prosperity in the future, he not only insisted that I go, but also divided the wealth of the treasury into four parts and handed them over to his four confidants, asking them to take me to Middle-earth. ”

With a look of gratitude on his face, he added: "One of them is my uncle Shangguan Jin, who brought me here and used the wealth he brought with him to buy a field and a house here, so that our family can live without worries until now, and his kindness to us is something I will never forget." ”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "What about the other three?"

The Great Golden Peng's gratitude turned to resentment, and he said, "I have not seen my father since the day I left him, but their names are also something I will never forget. ”

Lu Xiaofeng had just had a clue about this matter, so he immediately asked, "What are their names?"

The King of the Great Golden Peng clenched his fists and said hatefully: "Shangguan Mu, Ping Duhe, Yan Liben." ”

Lu Xiaofeng groaned and said, "I have never heard the names of these three people. ”

King Dajinpeng said: "But you must have seen their people." ”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Oh?"

King Dajinpeng said: "As soon as they arrived in Middle-earth, they changed their names and surnames, and it was not until a year ago that I found out their whereabouts. ”

He suddenly made a gesture to his daughter, and Princess Danfeng took out three scrolls from a sturdy and ancient cabinet behind him.

King Jinpeng said hatefully: "This is the three of them, I think you can recognize at least two of them." ”

On each scroll, there are two portraits, one young and the other oldβ€”the two portraits are originally drawn of the same person.

Princess Danfeng spread out the first scroll of paintings and said, "The image above is the shape of him when he left the palace, and the painting below is his current appearance when we visited him a year ago." ”

The man had a round face, a smile on his face, and seemed to be very kind, but he had a large hooked nose.

Lu Xiaofeng frowned and said, "This person looks very much like Yan Tieshan of the Yan family, the jewel of Guanzhong. ”

King Jinpeng gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, the current Yan Tieshan is Yan Liben back then, I am only grateful to God, and I haven't let him die yet." ”

The second picture of the man with high cheekbones and a pair of triangular eyes that shine majestically, you can tell at first glance that he is a very powerful person.

When Lu Xiaofeng saw this person, his face changed slightly.

King Dajinpeng said: "This person is Ping Duhe, his current name is Dugu Yihe, and the leader of Tsing Yi Building is also his ......."

Lu Xiaofeng was moved, stunned for a long time, and then said slowly: "I also know this person, but I don't know that he is the owner of the first floor of Tsing Yi Building." ”

He let out a long sigh and said, "I only know that he is the contemporary head of the Emei Sword Sect. ”

King Dajinpeng said hatefully: "His identity is well concealed, I am afraid that no one in the world will ever think that the head of the fair and strict Emei Sword Sect is actually a rebellious minister and thief who betrayed the old master of his old country!"

The third portrait depicts a thin old man, short, lonely, clean, and tough.

Lu Xiaofeng almost couldn't help but shout: "Huo Xiu!"

King Dajinpeng said: "Yes, Huo Xiu, the name Shangguan Mu is using now is Huo Xiu!"

He then said: "Others say that Huo Xiu is the most legendary person, fifty years ago, he came out of the world with his bare hands, and suddenly miraculously became the richest man in the world, until now, except for you, people in the rivers and lakes still don't know how his huge wealth came about!"

Lu Xiaofeng's face suddenly turned pale, and he slowly took a few steps back and sat down on the chair.

The Great Golden Peng King stared at him and said slowly, "You must be able to guess what we asked you to do by now. ”

Lu Xiaofeng was silent for a long time, sighed long, and said, "But I still don't know what you want?"

The King of the Golden Pengs clenched his fists, slammed the chair hard, and said sharply: "I don't want anything, all I want is justice!"

"If you want justice, why don't you go to the imperial court for help," Gu Jianfei said coldly

"Who are you?" the King of the Golden Pengs snorted coldly

"This is the imperial court official Gu Jian Fei Gu," Lu Xiaofeng introduced

"People of the imperial court, alas, this lord, if I go to think about you, the Ming Dynasty asks for help, can these treasures still return to my hands," the Great Golden Peng King sighed and said, this is Lu Xiaofeng, "You want me to bring the treasures back to you", "Yes, and I only have two requests," the Great Golden Peng King said sharply

The Great Golden Peng King said sharply again: "First, I want them to return the wealth they brought out from the Golden Peng Dynasty to the Golden Peng Dynasty and keep it as the basis for his future revival. ”

This is indeed a fair request.

King Da Jinpeng said: "Second. I want them to come to the spiritual seat of the former king and repent of their mistakes, so that the spirit of the former king in heaven can also be comforted to some extent. ”

Lu Xiaofeng pondered and sighed: "These two requirements are indeed very fair. ”

King Jinpeng said: "I know that you are an upright and fair young man, and you will never refuse this kind of request." ”

Lu Xiaofeng pondered for a long time, and said with a wry smile: "I'm just afraid that it will be difficult to do these two things." ”

King Jinpeng said: "If even you can't do it, who else can?"

Gu Jianfei said at this time, "Only the imperial court can do it"
