The words were divided into two ends, but it was said that after the Plum Blossom State repelled the enemies who coveted the sword, it fought a battle with the Lotus Society, and there were mutual victories and defeats, but the Lotus Society suddenly withdrew. Chen Chengming was puzzled.

Everyone returned to the hall and sat down, Zhuo Buyan said the original intention of mediation, Shen begging agreed, and the beggar said: "In my opinion, Bu Bulian seems to have no malice this time, and it seems that she doesn't want to win us! First, when she beat Ji Jing, she also joined hands, and she exchanged Xia Jiaozhi, who was very good at martial arts. On the second hand, Guan Juying was clearly merciful, and she said with a grin that she was tied with Chengming. Bu Bulian saw it in her eyes and didn't say anything. You say, don't you?''

Chen Chengming nodded in agreement and said: "The words of the previous one are very true, I think Xia Jiaozhi's skills are not weak, Guan Juying is really worthy of a thousand hands and a thousand knives, and her ability to take over the sword is even more powerful than Ling Xiangyun." ”

Shen Qi sighed and said, "Actually, Bai Yu's death and the loss of the sword don't have to be hidden. Why should we make enemies? Sooner or later, Bu Bu Lian will also know. ＂

Yichun said with an unhappy face: "It's not us who provoke her, it's her who comes to demonstrate, and Meihuabang also wants to be powerful!"

Chen Chengming was afraid that the two would talk back and hurt the harmony, so he hurriedly opened the topic and asked Liu Meihua: "Sister Liu, you are an expert, a flying knife with a thousand hands and a thousand knives, what do you think?" Liu Meihua was about to answer, and suddenly a messenger sent a letter, Chen Chengming opened it and took a look, it turned out to be He Peihuan's father He Juren sent it, the letter said that the Qingguang Sword has appeared at the junction of Fujian and Guangdong, and the sword owner Gao Dingjun has established the Qingguang Gang, hoping that the Meihua Gang will send someone to get in touch with them as soon as possible.

He Juren and Shenqi knew each other, and the two had a very good relationship, so they married their daughter to Zhou Jingsheng. He also knew Shenqi's senior brother Xiao Mingen and second senior brother Lin Yu, they were all introduced to each other by Shenqi, He Juren knew that Qingguang Sword was going to the north to start a business, and Qingguang Sword was going to the south to start a business, but for more than ten years, there was no news about Qingguang Sword, and Qingguang Sword had heard a little, and he did not become famous in the rivers and lakes.

He Juren also said in the letter that he was very happy after hearing the news of Qingguangjian's entrepreneurship, but he felt very strange, why did Qingguangjian not start a business in the north, but went to the south? What is the relationship between Gao Dingjun and Xiao Mingen, and why did Xiao Mingen not come to the south?

Zhuo Bufan thought about it and felt strange, could it be that Xiao Mingen was also dead, and the three brothers were all gone. He had no choice but to say: "Brother He's consideration is very reasonable, we should follow this line of thought to investigate." ”

Shen Qi said happily: "Anyway, this is good news, at least it shows that the Qingguang Gang has a certain strength before they dare to start a business." I think Chengming should immediately go to Fujian to find Brother He, and then go to the Qingguang Gang to find Gao Dingjun. ”

Chen Chengming took the opportunity to hurriedly say: "Okay, I'll go immediately, I still have to go to Fujian to find my wife!" Chen Chengming avoided the topic of discussion just now, looked very happy, and hugged his fist at Zhuo Bufan and said: "Senior Zhuo, you can chase down Di Di'er's matter, I will only invite Brother Cheng, Senior Sister and Zhou Jingsheng and his wife, and Zhou Xiaohu to go together this time." The elder and the second brother sat at the helm and responded to all parties. I think the people of the rivers and lakes will slowly know that if we don't have a sword, no one will come to challenge. He said to Liu Meihua again: "Sister Mei, I will ask you about the flying knife in the future." Liu Meihua nodded in understanding and said, "You're welcome!"

The next day, Chen Chengming and his party of six set off, and the happiest person was Zhou Xiaohu, because he could meet his maternal grandparents, and his grandmother would cook a lot of things he liked to eat for him, and he was happy!

Along the way, Chen Chengming and the others heard a lot of news on the rivers and lakes, some of them spread the Plum Blossom Gang, some passed on Bu Bu Lian, and some passed on Di Di'er, but they all added oil and vinegar, and there were too many inaccuracies, but if they could be peeled off from it, it would still be a little useful. Chen Chengming and Cheng Keng analyzed that Bu Bulian's strength when she went out of Sichuan this time was really not small, and there were already two vanguard troops, one of which had already fought with Zhuo Zhaolin. Bubulian is heading towards Hubei.

After Chen Chengming left, Shen Qi was a little reassured, because although Fujian is Cheng Keng's father-in-law's sphere of influence, but it is not everywhere powerful, the plum blossom gang into Fujian, will definitely attract people's attention, someone must respond, Shen Qi and the three sisters of the Liu family discussed, Liu Meihua immediately agreed, the three sisters were bored to stay in the rudder, and now they have this task, they are really happy. The three sisters then went to the policy and pressed the table.

The Gao Dingjun mentioned by He Juren is Xiao Mingen's apprentice.

After Xiao Mingen arrived in Saibei, the development was not smooth, the anti-Qing forces there had been purged by the Qing court, and the anti-Qing sentiment was low, although Xiao Mingen relied on the Qingguang Sword, but it was difficult to support it alone, and the Qing Court encircled and suppressed him, which made it difficult for him to gain a foothold, remembering the oath of their three brothers, he felt shameless to return to the Central Plains, so he became a monk in a barren mountain and wild temple, and his own legal name was "Yuanen", his real name was originally "Mingen", and now it has become "Yuanen", that is, everything is empty, he buried the Qingguang Sword under the Buddha altar, and swore never to take it again.

There is a small novice in the Buddhist temple, although the hair is cut, but not ordained, this little novice people call him Dingjun, no surname, he is very good to Yuanen, Yuanen sees that he has potential, is a good material for learning martial arts, do not feel that the heart rises again, then teach him martial arts, but the little novice learned quickly and seriously, Yuanen taught him the skills wholeheartedly, to the age of fifteen, he almost learned the skills of Yuanen, but all he learned are fists and feet, since the age of fifteen, he began to learn swordsmanship, did not expect him to make the sword more fast, a move as long as a point is broken, it can be integrated, so that Yuanen forgot the oath, took out the Qingguang sword from the Buddha altar, let Dingjun dance, Yuan En saw that he was dancing impermeable, and the blue light was shining, and he already had his skills, and his apprentice was also intoxicated with sword dancing, and he praised his apprentice non-stop.

Unexpectedly, the presiding old monk in the temple must be ordained, Dingjun has been delayed for many years with various excuses, can no longer be delayed, sixteen-year-old Dingjun is not used to the loneliness in the temple, he thinks that he himself has strong martial arts, if he is ordained, he will become a person like his master, his master has been in the rivers and lakes for half a life, he has not even a day, and most importantly, his master is not against him taking the ordination, so a rebellious atmosphere arises spontaneously, he stole the master's sword, and ran down the mountain. After leaving the mountain, he fled only in the direction of the south, wishing that he could escape to the south as soon as possible, because in the north, he believed that his master would find him, and he could bear the name of the traitor.

Along the way, he changed a lot of surnames, but he didn't dare to change the word Dingjun, because this was the only memory he left, he remembered, when the old monk picked him up, he would only say two words, that is, Dingjun, and the old monk took this as his legal name.

Finally came to Guangzhou, Guangzhou is a big city, Dingjun has no shortage of money to spend, because he often goes to the official treasury to steal silver, a steal is thousands of taels, so, he wears very generous during the day, one day, he passed by the antique shop, went in to see, was stunned by the antiques, he has never seen such a valuable thing, he originally thought that he had thousands of taels of silver, he was already very rich, he lived in the most exclusive inn, ate the most expensive dishes, spent money like running water, but compared with antiques, it was really a small thing, so he dressed in ordinary clothes the next day, to the antique store to apply, because there was a notice at the door of the antique store, saying that he wanted to hire a clerk, so he went to apply。 The boss was a man in his fifties, and when he saw that Dingjun was honest and not demanding, he hired him, and the boss provided room and board. Dingjun's purpose is to learn the skills and do the antique business himself in the future.

When recruiting, the boss asked him who his surname was, and it was also fateful, and Dingjun casually said that his surname was Dingjun. The boss said happily: "My surname is Gao, and it was really a family a hundred years ago." The boss asked his hometown again, Dingjun talked nonsense again, and the boss didn't ask deeply.

Because Gao Dingjun held the purpose of learning antiques, so the boss taught, he quickly remembered, and asked some antique knowledge, the boss taught him, gradually, the boss saw that he was honest and fast learner, so he taught Gao Dingjun the housekeeping skills, like how to identify the authenticity of antiques, ancient calligraphy and painting, have taught him. It should also be fateful, the boss has no son, and later regarded Gao Dingjun as a son, and it actually became a father-son relationship, and Gao Dingjun is more serious and responsible.

That day came a guest, into the door asked if there is a Mi Fu painting, Minan Palace is famous for the word, but the painting has been handed down very little, Gao Dingjun told the truth, the guest shook his head and said: "You are wrong!" After saying that, he turned around and left, Gao Dingjun suddenly had a whim, and asked the guest, do you want to collect it, or hang it on the wall to appreciate. The guest smiled slightly: "Of course it's a collection, who dares to hang it in the hall, once it hangs in the hall, it doesn't belong to the official master." Gao Dingjun asked again: "Do you specify that one or his paintings?" The guest knew that he was a layman, and smiled secretly in his heart, knowing that he must have made money, so he said: "As long as there are paintings!"

Gao Dingjun said: "Guest officer, you make a deposit first, and then come to pick up the goods within twenty days, but the price is high!" The guest said happily: "This needs to be said." So he put down the silver ticket with a deposit of 1,000 taels, took the deposit receipt, and turned and left.
