Zongwu: Our Rivers and Lakes

Chapter 151
"Um……"

Long Peng was slightly taken aback, looked sideways at the inn, saw a pale-faced scholar, couldn't help being a little surprised, and murmured, "Why did Duan Yu come here?"

"Look at his shabby appearance, did he sneak out again?"

As far as Long Peng knows.

Not long after he returned to the Central Plains that year, Meng Yuan led an army to start a national war with Dali.

Dali is weak,

Dayuan, on the other hand, was as ferocious as a wolf and a tiger, with an irresistible posture, all the way south. If the Southern Song Dynasty hadn't understood the truth of the death of lips and teeth, and sent troops to help, Dali might be flattened in less than three months.

It is a pity that the strength of the two countries is very different after all.

Just last year,
That is to say, from the day when Long Peng turned back from Beili, Dali Kingdom has fought all the way and lost all the way, and lost all the way.

until last winter.

The royal family of Dali announced their surrender in the name of not being able to bear the massacre of the people.

After surrendering.

The royal family of Dali was not liquidated and punished, but was reduced to a royal family just like Xixia, Tubo, and Xiliao.

Just like this.

The pressure in the Sichuan and Shu theaters of the Southern Song Dynasty suddenly increased. In the past, Dali Kingdom could serve as a barrier for assistance.

Now, it is completely exposed to Da Yuan's jaws.

The Southern Song Dynasty was already in jeopardy.

"Okay, stop hitting."

Long Peng said lightly, and with his fingers, he shot out two arrows of zhenqi, which knocked down the weapons in Mu Wanqing and Mu Wanqing's hands with great precision.

"This subordinate is incompetent, please punish him!"

Jin Feng lowered his head heavily, his towering chest rose and fell violently, and he was panting heavily, obviously exhausting a lot of energy just now.

"It's okay, just practice harder in the future.

"Yes!"

Long Peng nodded slightly, hesitated for a while, and said with sideways eyes, "Well, you go and call Ah Lang and the others, go ahead, remember to leave a mark along the way, I will deal with the matter here, and I will find them naturally."

"This... this subordinate obeys!"

Having lost such an adult just now, Jin Feng dared not ask questions at this moment, for fear of offending Long Peng, gritted his teeth and accepted the order, and quickly left with a few disciples of the God Sect, disappearing into the sea of ​​people on the street,
"Sister Wan, are you alright? Didn't you get hurt anywhere? Come on, let me see..." Duan Yu was talking long-windedly, with a very concerned expression on his face.

"I don't need you to take care of my affairs, and you talk too much, it's too noisy!" Mu Wanqing said coldly.

Duan Yu was stunned for a moment, feeling a little unhappy in his chest, thinking, "This Wanmei has a really bad temper, and I don't know who can cure her, alas..."

Mu Wanqing didn't like to talk to him, so she walked to Long Peng in two steps.

"How is it? I have improved a lot in martial arts, right?"

Long Peng nodded and said seriously. "It is indeed a great benefit, and there is no less hard work."

"That's natural. Now that I have the martial arts you taught me, I just feel like I can't exhaust my strength every day. I still have to thank you."

"If you want to thank you, you should also thank yourself. After all, your current martial arts are all practiced by you bit by bit."

"Sister Wan, this son is..."

See the acquaintance of the two chatting.

Duan Yu couldn't help feeling a burst of curiosity, couldn't help but stepped forward and asked.

"I haven't seen Mr. Duan for several years, so I don't know him anymore?" Long Peng smiled and blinked.

Duan Yu was stunned at first, then overjoyed.

"Yeah? You are Lin Qiye, Mr. Lin! No! People in the martial arts should call you Shaoxia!"

"Lin Shaoxia, we haven't seen each other for a long time, why do you still like to wear a mask! If I didn't hear your voice, I wouldn't even recognize it!!"

Duan Yu looked particularly excited, with sincere eyes.

"Heh...you don't dare to be a young hero..."

Long Peng looked dimly, shook his head with a smile, and said sternly, "Actually, my surname is Long, and my first name is Peng, but if Mr. Duan likes, he can still be called by the previous name. After all, my surname is also Lin."

"Then it's still called..."

Before Duan Yu finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something, his expression was startled and a little nervous.

"Lin Shaoxia, why do I feel that the name 'Long Peng' sounds familiar..."

"No... no... it won't be the person I thought it would be?"

Long Peng smiled slightly, his eyes were like stars, bright and moving, "It should be the one you think of."

"Can……"

Duan Yu opened his mouth and said loudly, "It's not like that at all, Lin Shaoxia, you are obviously a very good person, how could you be a big devil?"

"How can they spread it indiscriminately?!"

Seeing Duan Yu's righteous indignation.

Long Peng was a little surprised, but he didn't expect him to experience so many things, and he could still retain a pure heart, which is really rare, so he couldn't help but patted him on the shoulder to express his comfort.

"Mr. Duan, some things in this world are difficult to explain clearly. Whether they are black or white, they are just other people's opinions. I don't care. You don't have to be so angry."

Duan Yu felt a tight breath in his chest, and said in a slap in the face, "Then they can't say that about you..."

"Let others say it, don't be moved by external things, and don't be disturbed by internal desires, so that you can be happy and free."

"Besides, those rumors in Jianghu are not all fabricated. Long Peng is indeed a murderous executioner."

Long Peng said lightly, without any wave in his eyes.

"This……"

Duan Yu opened his mouth, sighed faintly, but did not speak.

"Mr. Duan, this person comes and goes, don't stand and chat, let's go in."

"oh oh……"

Duan Yu came back to his senses, answered several times, walked ahead and led the way, chattering endlessly.

"Lin Shaoxia, I heard from Wanmei that you went to Beili, how about it, the people there look completely different from us..."

Long Peng answered a few words from time to time, and soon followed him to the wing of the inn.

despair--

Duan Yu turned the teacup upside down on the table, poured a cup of steaming black tea,
"Come on, Lin Shaoxia, drink tea."

"Thank you."

Long Peng nodded slightly, took a sip of the sweet tea, and looked left and right, "Why, are you only young master Duan and Miss Mu on this trip? Where's Miss Zhong?"

Duan Yu rubbed his nose and smiled awkwardly, "This...cough cough...Sister Ling is indeed here together, maybe she hasn't woken up yet, let's not bother her."

"This…"

Long Peng glanced at the warm sun hanging high outside the window, and said with a light smile, "The sun is drying your ass, Miss Zhong hasn't woken up yet?"

Before Duan Yu opened his mouth to explain.

Mu Wanqing, who was posing as if she was watching a play, crossed her arms and said with a smile, "Since the little girl Pianzi knew that Duan Yu was his elder brother, she has been avoiding him everywhere, but she couldn't help but think about him in her heart. "

"No, even if we come out together, we still don't see each other several times a day."

"That's how it is..."

The corners of Long Peng's lips could not stop rising, and he said with a smirk, "Mr. Duan, I don't know what I calculated at the beginning, you are destined to have a sister, yes or no?"

Duan Yu was ashamed, shrank his neck, and felt a little restless.

"Lin Shaoxia, you said earlier that I have four younger sisters. Besides Zhong Mei and Wan Mei, which other two younger sisters are there?"

"This one……"

Long Peng pretended to pinch his hands. He had studied Taoist scriptures, and he also knew a little calculation technique, but he was quite decent. He slowly opened his eyes and said quietly, "Mr. Said, when the fate comes, we will meet each other naturally..."

"Puchi..."

Seeing Long Peng's appearance as a charlatan, Mu Wanqing frowned and laughed like a silver bell.

"It's okay, I understand the rules!"

Duan Yu patted his chest, flipped through his pockets, then raised his head in embarrassment, looked sideways and said, "That one is shy, sister Wan, why don't you lend me some first?"

"No loan."

Mu Wanqing turned her head, very arrogant.

"This……"

Duan Yu rubbed his thighs, looked at Long Peng and laughed, and Long Peng immediately smiled too.

"Okay, let's stop making trouble."

Long Peng waved his hand and took another sip of tea, "Mr. Duan, where are you planning to go on this trip?"

Duan Yu came back to his senses with a complicated expression on his face.

"We juniors originally came out with the Taihuangye to go to Mount Song. Later, the Taihuangye went up to Huashan, and left with Master Ci En after descending the mountain. Let us go to Songshan first."

"Songshan..."

Long Peng was slightly taken aback, and asked in confusion, "Why did you go to Songshan Mountain? Also for the 'Songshan Conference'?"

"The Great Emperor said that he was going to Songshan Shaolin to find a master for Master Ci En to dispel the anger in his heart.

For my Duan family, Master Ci'en went to the battlefield several times, and his murderous nature never stopped. Now he has no peace all day long, it is really painful. "Duan Yu said truthfully.

Long Peng nodded slightly, thinking in his heart whether the "Southern Emperor" Master Yideng went to Shaolin, did he want to meet that sweeping monk.

after all,

Apart from this one, Long Peng really couldn't think of anyone else in Shaolin whose Buddhist attainments could be higher than Master Yideng.

"Master Yideng is going to Mount Song, where are you guys? Could it be that Dali is bored and came out to play?"

"This... this..."

Duan Yu twitched, but Mu Wanqing said again, "I'm here to look for you. As for this silly boy, it's for some fairy sister."

"I don't see you for a day, thinking about it like crazy..." Mu Wanqing teased, "Sister Ling will be sad..."

Snapped--! !

"Sister Wan!!"

Duan Yuxu felt annoyed, he patted the table, and stood up, "Don't always speak for me, please, Lin Shaoxia is asking me, not you!"

"Yo! Still angry?"

Mu Wanqing's pretty eyebrows raised, her jade face was full of anger, and she said coldly, "I'm just born to talk, so you want to take care of it?"

"You and your father are both a heartbreaker!"

"How can you say that? My father is also your father!"

"Humph!"

Mu Wanqing snorted coquettishly, stood up pretty with her chest folded, her beautiful eyes were cold, "I, Mu Wanqing, am not such a volatile father!"

"Cough cough..."

Long Peng coughed twice, "Well, don't rush to argue, I have something to ask you."

"Whoosh..."

Duan Yuxu was really angry, he was out of breath, his face was flushed, he calmed down for a while, and then he sat down slowly.

"Lin Shaoxia, you can ask."

"I want to know, on the day Master Yideng went down the mountain, besides Master Yideng, did other people go down the mountain, and where did those people go?"

"Why are you asking this?" Mu Wanqing asked.

A chill flashed in Long Peng's eyes, and he said slowly, "To be honest, there was my enemy on the mountain that day."

Hearing his cold voice, Mu Wanqing asked in surprise, "What enemy?"

"It doesn't matter, you just need to know that that person is not a good person, and I really want to kill him."

"Lin Shaoxia, it's been too long, let me think about it..."

Duan Yu nodded, resting his chin on his palm, looking at the beams of the roof.

Long Peng said in a deep voice, "Okay, you guys think about it slowly, and if you think of it, you must tell me."

"correct."

Thinking of something, Long Peng reminded, "There should be two people, one is a white-haired old man dressed as a beggar, and the other is a handsome young man."

"Old man...youth..." Duan Yu pursed his lips, lowered his head thoughtfully.

"I have seen the two people you mentioned."

Hearing the sound of "squeak--", a cute little girl with a round face and big eyes opened the door and entered.

"Sister Ling..."

Seeing the person coming, Duan Yu couldn't help standing up.

"Brother."

Zhong Lingjiao called Didi, but the soft voice contained a bit of unspeakable bitterness. She lowered her head slightly towards Duan Yu, and then sat opposite Long Peng.

"I have seen the two people you mentioned."

Long Peng became excited in a rare mood.

"Tell me quickly!"

Zhong Ling turned her pretty eyes and said softly, "Why should I tell you? Are we familiar?"

Long Peng was stunned for a moment, his eyes were a little low, as if there was a purple awn flowing.

Mu Wanqing frowned slightly.

"Don't mess around, little girl, this matter is very important to him."

Zhong Ling stood up suddenly and said stubbornly, "Mu Wanqing, I'm not young anymore!"

"Sister Ling, this matter is really important to Lin Shaoxia, since you know it, don't hide it."

Duan Yu earnestly advised, "Have you forgotten who saved Zhong Guzhu's life back then?"

"I...I know..."

Hearing him mention this matter, Zhong Ling slowly recovered.

"Brother Lin, I'm sorry."

Long Peng regained his mind, and said with a light smile, "It's okay, just tell me what you know."

"Ah."

Zhong Ling nodded heavily and sat down slowly. She glanced at Duan Yu and suppressed her complicated emotions.

"I couldn't sleep that night, so I went to the mountain to relax, and I met the two you mentioned. At that time, the old man seemed to have been seriously injured, and his face was scary pale."

"And then?! Where did they go?!!"

Long Peng's expression was agitated, a little red light appeared in his eyes, and he hurriedly asked, even his voice became louder unconsciously, and the aura erupted from his whole body made the scalps of the three people in the room go numb.

"Lin... Brother Lin, don't look at me like this, I... I'm scared..." Zhong Ling was trembling, with cold sweat on his forehead, and stammered.

Long Peng was slightly startled, took off his mask, kneaded the center of his brows, and said slowly, "I'm sorry, I lost my composure, you continue to talk."

"I heard the boy say that he was going to some ancient tomb to find his aunt. The old man followed the boy after pestering him for a while, but he still followed him."

"Ancient tomb..."

The dragon and phoenix eyes are powerful, and the pupils in the pupils are like the cold stars of the nine heavens, and also like the nine ghosts. An unstoppable killing intent pervades, and the killing intent is countless times colder than the cold snow in the twelfth lunar month.
