Fu Shifeng

Chapter 224
Mrs. He looked at the back of Chang Qing holding the sword and saw that he was still wearing a blood-stained robe. She was slightly startled for a moment. She recalled that when she was just starting out, she was besieged by bandits and strongmen. When dangers were everywhere, there was also a tall and strong figure. The figure protected himself behind him.

"Fortunately, I made it in time."

The voice of Liu Niang beside her brought Mrs. He back from her thoughts. She immediately turned around and asked, "Why is Mr. Changqing here?"

Liu Niang quickly explained in a low voice: "I saw that the situation was not good, so I had to ask him to help. I didn't expect that Mr. Changqing would be so powerful!"

Mrs. He looked at Liu Niang. Her eye circles were slightly red and swollen, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes. She must have been crying when she begged Changqing.

Chang Qing's appearance was completely beyond the expectations of everyone present, and the methods he displayed made everyone even more shocked. Captain Shen was good at martial arts, but he couldn't even take a single move, and was directly pierced through the chest by a flying sword. .

The method of flying swords is magical, especially for those who practice martial arts. It is not entirely a magical power that belongs only to Taoists. According to legend, if one has practiced swordsmanship to the highest level, one can control the sword with Qi and take it from a hundred steps away. The enemy's head.

Naturally, there are no such masters in the contemporary Jianghuai martial arts world, but Gu Lianshan, who swept Jiangnan invincible many years ago, also showed off his magical skills of flying swords away from his hands.

So when everyone saw Changqing, everyone had their own thoughts, and no one knew what to do for a while.

Zhang Jida reacted the fastest. When he came to his senses, he immediately stepped forward and handed over his hands: "Mr. Changqing, misunderstandings are all misunderstandings! Don't rush to take action yet..."

"Misunderstanding?" Changqing has no good impression of Zhang Jida and his group: "Do you really think I don't know anything? You are just using Lord Zhaoyang as your backer to try to bully and occupy the industries of Wuling Village and Huzhou Guan Family. So blatant If you want to rob and plunder, don’t blame others for resisting.”

Zhang Jida said with a grimace: "Mr. Changqing is not someone else, but one of our own."

"Who is one of your own?" Changqing raised his sword and shouted: "Do you really think that Lord Zhaoyang will let you control him and act recklessly? Retreat quickly, and you can still save your life. If you continue to be stubborn, don't blame me for being ruthless! "

After saying that, Chang Qing raised his sword and slashed, and the flowing rainbow swept out like a waning moon, leaving a ravine directly on the green brick floor of the vestibule.

Since Changqing received Master Wen's guidance, he has made great progress in both Taoism and swordsmanship, and the two are vaguely complementary to each other.In terms of martial arts alone, Chang Qing has not yet mastered Gang Qi, so he is not as good as Cheng Sanwu, but with the help of Taoism, he has profound abilities unmatched by ordinary martial artists.

Including the huge iron-backed dragon, Changqing is confident that he can deal with it, and he may not be much worse than Cheng Sanwu.

Seeing Changqing's mysterious and unique swordsmanship, Zhang Jida and others couldn't understand the depth for a while, and they couldn't figure out Cheng Sanwu's true intention at this moment. They looked at each other for a few times, hesitating, and they already had no intention of fighting.

"Mr. Changqing, do you know who you killed just now?" Mr. Zhou from Linggu Villa seemed to be as graceful as ever. He raised his hand and pointed at the corpse on the ground: "This is Captain Shen of Dongshan Mountain in Taihu Lake. He has seven water villages under his command. A hero, he is in charge of the boat traffic in Taihu Lake, and there are also his sworn brothers on the canals and canals. Mr. Changqing has never considered how to return north in the future?"

Of course Mrs. He would not tolerate random threats from others. Just as she was about to retort, Chang Qing said first, "Okay! I'm waiting for the so-called heroes of the Seven Villages and sworn brothers to come and seek revenge. I want to take a look, you guys." What kind of disturbance can these gangsters create?!"

It was rare for Chang Qing to be aroused by his true fire. This group of people was beyond control. If he didn't kill Captain Shen, he might not be able to restrain these stupid people.

In fact, Chang Qing could have pretended that he was the son of Prime Minister Lu, and even asked local state and county officials to send out personnel to boost his momentum, so that these martial arts heroes would obediently flatter him.

But he doesn't want to do this. If this group of people doesn't follow the principles and laws, and only acts by force, then he will use martial arts to teach them!

Chang Qing expressed his stance like this, and even if some people wanted to give up, those who were watching indifferently took the opportunity to echo: "How can we, a chivalrous person, act without any rules? Master Zhang, why don't you apologize quickly?"

Zhang Jida knew that this incident was a failure. Hearing this, he immediately cupped his fists and raised his hands: "Mrs. He, we are the ones who have offended this time. Now I'm leaving!"

After saying this, Zhang Jida and others took the body of Captain Shen and left quickly without saying any more nonsense, and Mrs. He did not stop them.

It was not only Zhang Jida who left, but also those members of the Guan clan who did not dare to speak out. They were afraid that Mrs. He would pursue him, so they also sneaked away.

After a while, there were no more guests in the vestibule, and everyone who was nervous and alert breathed a sigh of relief.

Mrs. He put away her long sword and led everyone to come forward and bow to him: "Thank you, Mr. Changqing, for stepping forward and rescuing us from this critical moment. The whole Wuling Village is grateful."

Changqing himself didn't care too much: "There is no reason to sit idly by when treacherous people are causing harm to others. If Madam Liu hadn't reminded me, I would have been a step late."

Liu Niang smiled happily when she heard this, but Mrs. He scolded her: "Liu Niang, Mr. Chang Qing is an honored guest. How can you trouble others with our affairs? I think you are getting more and more presumptuous."

"Yes, Liu Niang has realized her mistake and will never dare to do it again." Although Liu Niang was scolded, she was secretly happy in her heart. She knew very well that this was the old lady's consistent approach and she could not let outsiders think that Wulingzhuang's behavior was casual.

"Mr. Changqing, if you speak uprightly for Wulingzhuang now, I'm afraid you will incur retaliation." Mrs. He first waved for someone to clean up the blood on the ground, then led Changqing to sit down in the hall, and said seriously: "Just now that The words of Mr. Zhou are not an exaggeration, Captain Shen has a lot of power behind him, I'm afraid it will be very detrimental to your future career in the world."

"Thank you, Madam, for your concern." Chang Qing said confidently: "The words I just said were not blurted out on impulse. In terms of means of self-protection and fending off enemies, I may not be inferior to Lord Zhaoyang."

Mrs. He pondered for a moment and couldn't help but ask: "Forgive me for being brave, Mr. Changqing should not be a member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"Indeed not." Chang Qing replied bluntly: "I am just traveling with Lord Zhaoyang, ostensibly as his staff."

Mrs. He has extraordinary eyesight. She can see that Changqing's speech and behavior are not like ordinary people, especially compared with Cheng Sanwu, she is quite graceful and graceful.Although she didn't know much about the Songyue Fu Zang Palace, she thought that nowadays there are many children from aristocratic families who are studying Taoism, and Mr. Changqing may be one of them, and it is still rare to be successful in learning Taoism, and he is not the kind of vassal who pretends to be a vassal.

Such a person, coupled with such an age, must be rare not to mention in Jiangnan, even in Chang'an and Luoyang. He should be the guest of dignitaries, princes and generals. I don't know why he would travel with someone like Zhaoyang Jun.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs has always been regarded as the imperial eagle dog by people in the martial arts world. In addition to awe, there is also some hidden fear and disgust in their hearts.It's just that outsiders don't know the inside story, so it may not be a good thing for Chang Qing to openly confront Jianghuai Wulin.

"I know very well the methods of those bandits and bandits. They never take the court officials seriously. Mr. Changqing should be more careful." Mrs. He said.

"Thank you, old lady, for the warning. I will definitely pay attention."

……

It was getting late, and Mrs. He was sitting alone in the backyard garden. After a busy day, she finally had some free time.She dismissed the little girls who were serving her, looked at the moonlight reflection in the water, and sighed softly.

"Sigh, this doesn't sound like you." A voice came from the darkness.

"Who?" Mrs. He's expression changed, and she immediately stood up, looking at the sound to make out the figure.Inexplicably, the sleeves and robes are swaying, and the palms are thrust out. The inner energy is pure, and I want to find out.

But the visitor who was in the dark seemed to have expected it. He raised his hands and fiddled with it, and easily blocked his palms. Then there was a sound of breaking wind, and he and Mrs. He quickly broke up with each other.In the darkness, the two of them went back and forth to test each other based on their inner strength. Madam He was shocked to realize that the other party had the upper hand with only one arm from beginning to end, and was particularly familiar with her own moves.

Pushing out with a palm, the visitor blocked it with his arms. Mrs. He took advantage of the force and retreated, and immediately asked: "Who are you?"

I saw a tall and tall figure stepping out slowly, and the moonlight in the sky seemed to become brighter.The visitor was an old man. He was dressed simply, with a face with eyebrows flying into his temples and eyes as bright as stars. Although there were traces of time, he did not lose his heroic spirit at all.

"Gu..." Mrs. He couldn't hide her shock and took half a step back as if she had seen a ghost.

"Yu Qing, long time no see." Gu Lianshan smiled slightly.

When someone called out her maiden name, Mrs. He even felt a little strange, and she immediately confirmed that the person in front of her was definitely not in disguise.

When the old friends reunited, Mrs. He felt bitter and sad in her heart, and her expression was complicated: "You, what on earth are you..."

"You want to ask me why I have disappeared all these years?" Gu Lianshan guessed the other party's thoughts and said without any concealment: "Back then, I was seriously injured in the rebellion. I was chased all the way. I lost my footing and fell into the river. I originally thought it was destined to be He died, but was lucky enough to be rescued by the Donghai Immortal Family passing by."

Hearing this, Mrs. He didn't believe it at first, but looking at Gu Lianshan's sincere eyes as always, she couldn't help but not believe it either.

"Donghai Xianjia passing by...you are so lucky." Mrs. He really didn't know what to say.

Gu Lianshan said: "That Donghai Immortal came to the Central Plains to travel, and it was just a coincidence that he saved me. He saw that my bones were still good, and after he healed my injuries, he took me to the Donghai Immortal Mountain. When I failed to revolt, my family was implicated. , I have long given up all hope, and I originally wanted to end my life in the East China Sea."

"But you're still back...Looking at your appearance, your martial arts seem to have improved a lot." Mrs. He laughed. She found that Gu Lianshan's body and bones had not weakened. Perhaps he had taken some elixir or elixir, or he was Entered into some mysterious realm.

"After all, I am not a person in the immortal way. I have secular thoughts. I will not feel peaceful in a place like the East China Sea. Instead, I will feel lonely and depressed for a long time." Gu Lianshan said: "I was inspired by the immortal family, and I did have a breakthrough in the realm of martial arts, but Let’s go back to the Central Plains.”

Mrs. He was silent after hearing this, thinking about the past. When she was young, she traveled around the world and often acted impulsively. She would draw swords against fellow martial artists when they disagreed with her, causing a lot of unhappiness. If she hadn't met Gu Lianshan, she might not have been like that. Converge quickly.

In terms of age, Gu Lianshan was older than Mrs. He. When the two met, Gu Lianshan even had a wife.

But the children of Jianghu are not bound by etiquette and law. The two of them traveled in Jianghu and had a romantic relationship.

Now that I think about it, those ridiculous days were so childish that Mrs. He even felt that she was deceived by Gu Lianshan as a fledgling.

"Have you had a hard time these past few years?" Gu Lianshan looked around: "The Guan family in Huzhou suffered a great disaster, and it was all supported by you alone. Now there are even prostitutes coming to the door."

"It is difficult to gain a foothold in this world." Madam He did not reveal her weak female side, but treated her indifferently.

"I can help you." Gu Lianshan said.

Mrs. He asked: "Help? How do you plan to help? Kill all those guys?"

"I don't have to kill him with my own hands." Gu Lianshan thought for a while, and then said: "There may be big troubles in the Jianghuai area recently. It's best for you to stay in Wulingzhuang, strictly guard the door, and don't go anywhere else."

"A big event?" Mrs. He's eyes tightened, staring at Gu Lianshan, and then she understood: "Some time ago, there was a lot of news in the Jianghuai area. Was it your handiwork?"

"It's not entirely me." Gu Lianshan always seemed to only say half of what he said.

Mrs. He's face was as if nothing had happened, but she didn't dare to take it lightly. She found that the man in front of her was no longer the Gu Lianshan who used to ride with her with light swords and fast horses. There was a flame called revenge deep in his eyes. It is difficult for ordinary people to detect.

The two of them are no longer the youth they used to be, they have both changed.Mrs. He has a huge responsibility on her shoulders. She cannot accompany a man to risk his madness or make a desperate move.

She wants to stay away from this man.

"What are you going to do?" Mrs. He looked relaxed and spoke softly, as if she was missing an old friend.

Gu Lianshan was about to speak but stopped, Mrs. He said: "That's all, if you don't want to say it, forget it."

"I want to raise an army to support the heirs of the deposed Shang Emperor and continue the unfinished business." Gu Lianshan still chose to confide in his old friend.

"You——" How calm the old lady is, she still can't help but ask: "You want to rebel?"

"After the heroine's chaos in the past, it was orthodox to depose Emperor Shang. Today's saints are just..."

Before Gu Lianshan could finish speaking, Mrs. He interrupted: "Whether it is orthodox or not has nothing to do with me. I just didn't expect that after so many years, you are still so persistent."

"Do you think I did this to realize my ambition?" Gu Lianshan was slightly disappointed: "Yu Qing, have you ever thought that not everyone is like you and can live such a luxurious life."

"Are you standing up for the common people?" Mrs. He sighed: "Have you ever thought that doing this will only kill more innocent people?"

"I'm not going to sit idly by."

Gu Lianshan's words reminded Mrs. He of what Changqing said during the day, but she knew very well that the man in front of her was no longer her fellow traveler, so she immediately waved her hand and said: "You go away, I will pretend I have never seen you before." , I just pretended not to hear what you just said."

"Yuqing..."

"Don't call me that!" Mrs. He's eyes flashed, showing an unquestionable majesty: "You and I are strangers, why are we still entangled?"

Gu Lianshan was silent for a long time after hearing this. He understood that the other party had made up his mind, so he said: "You take good care of yourself."

After saying this, Gu Lianshan retreated into the darkness again and disappeared, leaving only Mrs. He alone under the moonlight.
