Run into the world

Chapter 278 No one can persuade you to leave

"This is Brother Shaobai's pen..."

An old man in his sixties slowly picked up a pen from the ground. His body was still upright, but his whole body was weighed down by sadness. This weight almost made him breathless.

Xia Liuhong, who had just rescued her young brother from the fire, also turned her attention.

The old man staggered to a short fat man in a foreign military uniform with a pen in hand, "Shaobai, he is my friend and your friend! There are more than 30 lives here... It is only half a street away from your patrol house. !”

His voice became more and more aggressive, and the last sentence was even shouted.

There was a moment of sadness in the fat man's eyes, and then he said stiffly: "Don't worry about this matter. As a friend, I am here to help you."

"Help me? How many close friends do I still have at such an old age? If any one of you dies, it will break my heart. Do you want me to die? You still say you are my friend?"

The fat man pursed his lips, "This time the Qing court vowed to kill Sun Wen and even made a deal with foreigners. This is the place of foreigners. I can't do anything, and you don't want to participate!"

The old man's eyes widened with disbelief, "It doesn't mean that you are a foreigner if you change your name to a foreigner. You have to remember who you are and what kind of blood you bleed!"

He was clearly a wealthy man with no power, but at this moment he seemed to be the most powerful man on the street, with an aura that could echo Nalan Yuanshu's stick intentions.

This scene directly made Duan Muxiang numb. Why, military attachés can understand meaning, doctors can understand meaning, and now you, a rich official who has never practiced martial arts, must also understand meaning!
The fat man was obviously angry with embarrassment, maybe out of guilt or something else. He turned around and shouted in a hoarse voice: "There was a fire at the Shin Kong Grand Theater, with more than [-] people dead and injured. The bodies have been recovered by their families. The case is closed!"

Xia Liuhong, who was holding her younger brother, her eyes turned red instantly. Just as she was about to make a move, Duan Muxiang held her down, "It's pointless, don't argue."

Seeing the fat man mounting his horse and taking the people away, his back looked a little embarrassed.

"Haha, I don't think it's very safe to live across from the patrol house!" Nalan Yuanshu arrived at some unknown time. Looking at the fat man walking away, he only felt pity for the fat man. Wasn't he the same before...

The member's body seemed to be rickety for a moment, but he quickly adjusted himself. He turned around and came to Xia Liuhong, "Girl... I also have some friendship with your father. I will help you control these people. You can spend the money first." …”

"What's my father's name?"

The member was stunned for a moment, and Xia Liuhong asked again: "What's my father's name? Didn't you say we were friends? You couldn't even tell me what my father's name was!"

"This... your father is the head of the Shin Kong Grand Theatre, Boss Yu."

Xia Liuhong shook his head when he heard this, "You lied. Jade is just a stone. Boss Jade is just the stage name of my father Xia Fangshi. Only theater guests or strangers call him that. If we are friends, we call him Lao Xia and Lao Shitou." , I will never call you Boss Jade."

Yuan Wai stopped talking. Xia Liuhong looked at him with eyes that seemed to penetrate into his soul, "I want to know who killed my father."

"Child, this matter has to do with you..."

"Sun Wen has come to Hong Kong. If I tell you, you won't believe it. I even had dinner with Yixian!" Duan Muxiang saw that the pull was not over, so he immediately stepped forward to identify himself.

When the officer heard this, his attitude changed immediately. He immediately arranged for people to help collect the bodies, and then arranged for everyone to stay temporarily in his yard.

After everything settled down, he talked to Duan Muxiang and others about Sun Wen.

The member's nickname is Li Yutang. He is the boss of Jinliyuan Bank. He is very popular in Hong Kong and has been secretly supporting Sun Wen's uprising.

Just a few days ago, Sun Wen was scheduled to come to Hong Kong to discuss the uprising with the martyrs from all over the mainland. However, comrades in the capital sent information. The Qing government paid unprecedented attention to this matter and sent out the most elite killers. Arrive in Hong Kong and prepare to ambush Sun Wen.

So Li Yutang and Chen Shaobai planned to contact experts to protect Sun Wen. Li Yutang was limited by his status and could not run around, so Chen Shaobai had to contact the secret forces.

And Xia Liuhong's father, Lao Shitou, was the armed force contacted by Chen Shaobai. Who knew...

"What are Mr. Li's plans now?" Duan Muxiang asked after understanding the cause and effect.Li Yutang looked at Duan Muxiang strangely, "I haven't asked you yet, but you spoke first."However, since there is a specialization in the art industry, he really doesn't know how to proceed with this matter.

Seeing his hesitation, Duan Muxiang reminded: "Since Mr. Li is a well-known figure in Hong Kong, he should be angry if his friend is killed and slapped in the face with such an identity. I think it's time to let the executioners in the dark understand. The money’s ability is so powerful!”

Li Yutang was startled, "You mean..."

Duan Muxiang patted Li Yutang on the shoulder, "Old Li, it's rare to have such an opportunity in life, and you can actually go crazy reasonably!"

……

"You are such a terrible person. There seems to be a magic power in your words, and you can actually make those who speak fall into darkness!"

Monk Xiao Chengquan looked at Master Li's back as he quickly left home, and then looked at Duan Muxiang, his eyes changed.

Duan Muxiang spread her hands innocently, "Fell into darkness? Why do I feel that he has stepped into the light with one foot!"

Xia Liuhong sat down without saying a word, staring blankly at the sleeping baby in front of her. After a while, she said, "So my father-killing enemy is that Yan Xiaoguo?"

Upon seeing this, Duan Muxiang brought the brazier over and helped her burn the wads of paper money, "I just looked at the corpse. The brothers in your troupe were not weak in cultivation, but they hardly organized effective resistance when they died. , indicating that he was attacked by surprise. Your father showed signs of resistance when he arrived, but there was a strong sword intention in that sword. Your father has not yet entered the innate world, so he must not be an opponent. If Yan Xiaoguo used a sword, then your He should be the one who killed my father!"

Xia Liuhong was silent, the firelight flickering on her face. After a while, she narrated in a slightly hoarse voice, "My father used to be a soldier. He once led troops to resist the Eight-Power Allied Forces, but the Qing court said he was a traitor. ...So my father took us to escape, and we kept running. There were only about thirty people left in the original team of several hundred people. He always wanted to go back, and always told me that they would not be able to go home until the Qing Dynasty was destroyed. .”

Nalan Yuanshu knelt down as he listened, twisting a wad of paper money in his hand and putting it into the fire.

He is a soldier, and he has a deep impression of that period of humiliation. It is a confusing account. They, bloody soldiers, always feel that they lost unjustly. The heart of resistance, if...it's a pity that there is no if!

"Then you don't want to participate in this matter. You have accepted the teaching. Your brother is the only bloodline left in your family. You still have to pass on the ability of the godhead mask. The burden on your shoulders is too heavy. Take your brother with you. Go back to your hometown!" the old man said suddenly.

Xia Liuhong shook her head. She looked at the baby in her arms and placed it next to the brazier. Maybe it was the heat that woke the baby up.

Xia Liuhong stared at the baby's chubby face and said in a leisurely tone, "Xia Liuqing, you are the only man in the family now. I listen to you. If you cry now, my sister will avenge your father! If you don't cry, my sister will Take you back to your hometown."

"..."

The courtyard fell into dead silence, and the flickering light of the fire seemed to have some magic power in the baby's eyes. The child was so seduced that he neither cried nor made trouble.

I saw Xia Liuhong stretched out her hand and pinched the baby's face, wow wow wow. After crying vigorously, Xia Liuhong picked it up again and said with a smile: "He is my sister's good brother!"

When Duan Muxiang saw this, he picked up a wad of paper money and said, "Old Shitou, you must protect your son from growing up healthily!" Then he looked at Nalan Yuanshu, "You finally escaped to Hong Kong. , No need to get involved, if you follow Boss Li in the future, you may develop very well!"

Nalan Yuanshu was silent for a moment, "My stick will follow the general trend. Now the general trend lies with Sun Wen. If I know it but don't do it, then I won't have to practice martial arts in the future."

Duan Muxiang curled his lips and looked at the other two people, "You don't want to say that you want to participate, right?" In fact, he should bring in as many people as possible, but after all, they have fought together, and he really can't let it go.

Xiao Chengquan spread his legs and squatted next to the brazier, looking at the flames in the brazier and said blankly: "My master is the head of the Luohan Hall, and it is said that he will soon inherit the position of chairman. Buddhists are not supposed to care about mundane affairs, but The senior brother said that he would go down the mountain to fight against the foreigners and protect the country. The master was very proud after hearing this and taught him the Prajna Palm to encourage him to do the Vajra Angry Eyes act! But... no one thought that after the senior brother came down from the mountain, he actually joined the White Lotus Sect and committed evil... The master was so ashamed that he violated the temple rules by secretly teaching Prajna Palm. In the end, he couldn't bear the guilt in his heart and committed suicide. When the master drove me down the mountain, he said that if I couldn't clean up the family, I would never come back to the mountain. I begged in every possible way for him to be successful. It doesn’t help, it’s obviously senior brother’s fault, why do you care about me?”

Xiao Chengquan looked up at Xia Liuhong and said slowly: "Now that my senior brother is dead, I should go back to the temple, but... I think the master committed suicide in shame at the beginning. Just cleaning up the family would just make him worry-free and break up." After knowing the cause and effect, if I can do something that makes him proud, can I also have some face when meeting Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!"

It's over, Duanmuxiang has no words to say, everyone has moved Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva out, what else can he say?

"Old man, what about you?"

The old man's expression still didn't change much, he just said: "My story is simple. It's a lineage of puppets. The high end is to control human puppets, but this is a harmful thing. So I don't want to pass it on, but my traitor doesn't Agreeing, he stole my secret book and joined the White Lotus Sect. I will clean up the family. Well, I have nothing to do anyway. If I die, just send me back to my hometown to be buried with my old lady."
