A knife in love

Chapter 30

Zhuang Hengyun looked a little embarrassed, and said: "Since we are brothers, there are some things that brothers don't hide from you two. It's just that brother Yu didn't tell me to tell the two brothers about this matter, and the two brothers have to be poisoned I swear, never let this matter out.”

Yan Dufei has lived in the northwest for a long time, and his underlings are vicious, he never takes any oath to heart, what kind of oath is he thinking about, how is it different from farting?Immediately he said loudly: "In the future, if my younger brother leaks what Second Brother Zhuang said, he will willingly suffer the pain of being bitten by ten thousand snakes. After death, he will fall into Abi Hell, and he will never be reborn forever!"

Li Qiufeng also made a poisonous oath.Zhuang Hengyun said: "It's not that I can't trust the two brothers, it's because this matter is of great importance, and it must not be sloppy."

Li Qiufeng and Yan Dufei nodded in agreement, Zhuang Hengyun said: "This incident happened about 12 years ago. At that time, there was no name Wuhu Mountain Villa in the world, and I was not called Zhuang Hengyun. At that time, I was everywhere in the world. Drifting around, doing business with no money from time to time."

Li Qiufeng knew that Zhuang Hengyun used to be a great thief in the world, but he was a little surprised to hear that he directly admitted it.

"At that time, Brother Yu and I already had friendship, but he was a well-known knight-errant in the Jianghu. If people knew that he was in a relationship with someone like me, it would be a great inconvenience, so we brothers would see each other once a year. Not many times. In the summer of that year, I remember it was around May, I tracked down a Beijing official who returned home from Beijing to Huguang. This Beijing official brought more than ten loads of horses, gold and silver There are a lot of treasures. This official was targeted by me as soon as he left Beijing, but he invited more than a dozen bodyguards from the Beijing City Shunyuan Escort Bureau to help him transport his property, and there were also several experts accompanying him. I have been following around, but I can't find a chance to start.

"That day when we arrived at the boundary of Anluzhou in Huguang, the Beijing official was also from Huguang, and he was very powerful in the local area. If he returned home, it would be very difficult to attack him. Seeing that I couldn't succeed, I was quite anxious. At that time, the capital The official stayed in the largest inn in Anlu Prefecture, called the Jiuzhou Inn. That night, I sneaked into the inn and hid on the roof of a wing room, secretly looking for opportunities to strike. Only I knew that the few masters accompanying the Beijing official Martial arts are very good, but they don't dare to get too close.

"That night the moon and stars were scarce. I leaned on the ridge and saw the moon rise to the mid-heaven little by little. The guards guarding the front of the main hall have changed. I think there will be no chance to attack this night. , was about to turn around and leave when suddenly someone patted me lightly on the shoulder.

"At that time, my heart trembled, I knew that I had been spotted by someone, so I drew out my dagger and wanted to fight the person with my life. Unexpectedly, the person said in a low voice: 'Brother Zhuang wait a minute, I am Yu Changyuan! 'I was afraid of being tricked by the enemy, so I didn't dare to answer, so I jumped out a foot away, and then I looked back. But I saw a person squatting on the ridge of the roof, it wasn't Yu Changyuan, who was Big Brother Yu?

"Brother Yu was living in Beijing at that time. How could he have thought that he would meet him in Huguang, thousands of miles away? He would not have thought that he would appear behind me in the middle of the night without knowing it. Could it be that he wanted to do it too? This deal?"

Having said this, Zhuang Hengyun took a look at Li Qiufeng and Yan Dufei, and said, "To be honest, although Big Brother Yu is a famous hero in the capital, it's just that he has always spent a lot of money, so sometimes he does some cheap business. It’s just that Brother Yu only picks out those corrupt officials, so it doesn’t hurt his reputation as a chivalrous man.”

Li Qiufeng and Yan Dufei both said: "That is that." But they thought in their hearts: this old thief is just a bandit leader who sits on the ground and divides the spoils, and he has nothing to do with chivalry.

"I saw that it was really Big Brother Yu, and was about to bow his hands to salute, but Big Brother Yu motioned me to keep quiet, and led me out of the Kyushu Inn, to a big house next to it. The house is so big, there are five courtyards in total. , Every time I entered the courtyard, the guards were heavily guarded. Until I entered the third courtyard and came to the main hall, Brother Yu asked me to wait at the door for a while. Not long after he entered the house, he came out and greeted me to enter.

"I entered the room, but saw that there were already many people inside. There were two people sitting on the grand teacher's chair in the middle. The man on the left was over 50 years old, with a fair complexion and no beard. In his thirties, his eyes were slender and seemed to be open or closed. The rest of the people stood respectfully on both sides.

"Brother Yu bowed to the two men and said: 'My lords, this brother is the best friend of the villain, and also a famous master in the world. I happened to meet in Anlu Prefecture today, and I specially introduced it to the two lords. .'

"I was taken aback when I heard Brother Yu say this. You must know that I am a thief, and I am most afraid of seeing officials in my life. Judging by the demeanor of those two people, the official position should be quite high. I turned around and wanted to run away, but I saw someone in the house. Everyone's martial arts are not weak, if they are afraid that they will be torn to pieces before they leave the room, they can only bow their heads in fear.

"The man on the left said: 'Are you Zhuang Yulou?' The voice was so shrill that it was extremely unhelpful to the ears. I whispered: 'I'm right here!' The man nodded and said: 'There are legends in the Jianghu that you The lightness skill is amazing, the bone shrinking skill is unparalleled in the world, I don’t know if it is true or not?” I was shocked, the secret book of the bone shrinking skill was stolen from an ancient tomb by chance, and no one in the world knew about it. People actually know? Brother Yu saw that I was hesitant to answer, so he pushed me aside, and I woke up, and said hastily, "It's such a small skill, I'll make you laugh." The man smiled, stopped asking, and picked up the Drinking tea from a teacup. I saw that the cup he was holding was carved from jadeite, it was crystal clear, and if it was placed on the market, even if there were 1 taels of silver, it would be impossible to buy it.

"The man on the right said: 'Mr. Yu's friend must be reliable, you can take him down.' Big Brother Yu responded and motioned for me to salute and leave. I gave a salute in a daze, and followed Big Brother Yu out of the main hall.

"Brother Yu took me to a side room, and then asked me what I was doing in Huguang. I had no choice but to tell him about the business. Brother Yu laughed and said, "There is a big deal right now. But I don't know if your brother is interested?" When I heard the word 'big deal', I immediately stood up and said, "But it's driven by Brother Yu!" Brother Yu said, "You must have never seen those two adults just now." Let me tell you, these two are big figures in the imperial court. The one on the left is Xu En, the eunuch of the East Factory, and the one on the right is Yun Feiyang, the Jinyiwei who punished Qianhu.'”

Li Qiufeng's heart trembled, and he said: "Unexpectedly, Second Brother Zhuang knew Yun Feiyang more than ten years ago. That Xu En was also very powerful back then, only under Zhang Yong, the governor of the East Factory. It's just that this person disappeared suddenly. No one dared to mention it, only that he was secretly executed by the emperor."

Yan Dufei said: "It turns out that the flying robber Zhuang Yulou who was famous all over the world in the past is the second brother Zhuang. It's amazing."

Zhuang Hengyun waved his hands and said: "You two are joking, Zhuang's reputation in the Jianghu was not very good back then, this Zhuang's heart is like a mirror. It's just that the brothers didn't know the names of Xu En and Yun Feiyang at that time. But Dongchang and I knew about Jin Yiwei, and his face was pale with fright. Seeing that I was scared, Big Brother Yu waved his hand at me and said, "Don't worry, brother. They don't care about your small case. I only need you to handle it." Be beautiful, and prosperity and wealth are just around the corner.'

"I heard him say it solemnly, and I was very happy. But after thinking about it, it must be a big thing that even the big men of Dongchang and Jinyiwei can't do. How can I do it? Brother Yu Seeing my hesitation, he said to me, "brother, if you want to be a master, you have to suffer all kinds of hardships. Brother, let me tell you the truth, as long as you do this for the two adults, Brother Zhuang's bottom line will be cleared, and he will get a lot of money!'

"I changed my mind. Since I am doing business for Dongchang and Jinyiwei, I am doing business for the imperial court. Xu En and Yun Feiyang will naturally take care of it if something happens. Besides, since I have already confronted them, if I don't agree, these people I'm afraid I'll kill someone. No matter how powerful I am, how can I escape the pursuit of Dongchang and Jinyiwei? Stretching out the head is a knife, and shrinking the head is also a knife. It's better to gamble and fight with one's life, maybe there is another life! Immediately I will I agreed to Brother Yu. Brother Yu was overjoyed and said, "It's good that my brother agrees, and we brothers will work together to be his big one!" Early the next morning, Brother Zhuang introduced three more people to me. The two brothers must be able to guess Can you figure out who they are?"

Yan Dufei said: "I think it's He Yi, Zhu Ming and Zhou Jingtian."

Zhuang Hengyun said: "That's right, but I didn't know the names of these three brothers at that time, and they didn't use the later names in Jianghu at that time."
