Everything starts from Tian Long Ba Bu

Chapter 12 Trip to Jinling
  Now that we have arrived near Quzhou, it is naturally not too far from Jinling.

A few days later, a handsome man in a light yellow gown appeared outside Jinling City, and this man was Murong Fu.

After accepting all the inner strength of the five elders of the Wen family in Shiliang Town, Murong Fu made some adjustments. As the saying goes, the five elders of the Wen family can be so tyrannical in the local area, and naturally their disciples are indispensable as accomplices.

Therefore, after spending some time, Murong Fu personally took care of all the disciples of the Shiliang Sect.

All this seems a bit unnecessary, but it is naturally a lesson learned from the failure of Yuan Chongzhi and his colleagues to eliminate evil.

After finishing taking care of the Shiliang sect, Murong Fu slowly rushed towards Jinling City. After spending two days on the road, he arrived in Nanjing City.

The name of Jinling City is quite different from that in the Song Dynasty. In the Northern Song Dynasty, it was called Jiangning Prefecture, and in the Southern Song Dynasty, it was called Jiankang Prefecture, the capital of Jiangnan East Road.

But compared to the two Song Dynasties, the current Jinling City has experienced hundreds of years of peace, and its prosperity during this period is also better than the Jiangning Mansion where Murong Fu lived.

This Jinling Stone City is indeed the largest city in the world. It is the place where Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, founded the country and established the capital. It has thousands of households, radiating from all directions, with flutes and drums by the Suzaku Bridge, and colorful flowers at the entrance of Wuyi Lane. In troubled times, the extravagance of the past remains unchanged.

Now that he came to Jinling City, Murong Fu began to want to find the treasure of Emperor Jianwen.

It should be noted that he is not the only one who knows the secret of this treasure. Yuan Chongzhi, who inherited the Golden Snake Master, also knows the whereabouts of the treasure.

In order to prevent Yuan Chongzhi from taking the first step and transporting the treasure away as Li Zicheng's military pay, Murong Fu naturally had to find the whereabouts of the treasure faster.

It should be noted that during the Jingnan Incident, Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen hid a batch of treasures in the Duke of Wei's mansion before fleeing for a future comeback.

It's just that it's been a hundred years since the Jingnan incident, and the people in Jinling City no longer know the name of the Duke of Wei in the past. Fortunately, Murong Fu merged the memories of the two generations and knew that there was no inside information for future generations.

If others don't have the treasure map in hand, it will be difficult to find the treasure of Emperor Jianwen!

It turns out that when the Ming Dynasty was founded, General Xu Da was the first in meritorious service. He and Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang were commoner friends. After Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he still called him "Brother Xu".

Later, he personally gave a mansion to Xu Da and inscribed the word "Dagon" as the name of the village where the mansion is located. That is the origin of Nanjing's "Dakongfang" and "the title granted by Wei Guogong".

Later, after Zhu Di usurped the throne, Xu Da's eldest son Xu Huizu moved into his father's ancestral hall and refused to go to court.

Chengzu sent officials to interrogate him, and Xu Huizu wrote in ten characters in return, "My father is a hero in the founding of the country, and his descendants will be spared death." Chengzu was furious when he saw it, but since he had just ascended the throne, he wanted to calm people's hearts and spare him without killing him. Xu Huizu was loyal to Emperor Jianwen and always plotted restoration.

His descendants were hereditary Dukes of Wei and led the troops guarding Nanjing until the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

In the Ming Dynasty, Nanjing's garrison house held a high position and the people in Nanjing only knew "Garrison House Xu Gongye" but did not know about Wei Guogong, so Murong Fu could not find out.

Zhu Di, the ancestor of Cheng, was grateful that Xu Da's youngest son Xu Zengshou died for him, and named him Duke of Dingguo. Therefore, Xu Da's descendants include two dukes, Wei Guogong and Ding Guogong. The descendants of the two dukes live in Nanjing and BJ.

Xu Huizu offended Chengzu, and his descendants no longer dared to live in Cidi in Dakongfang and moved to another place. Dakongfang Cidi changed hands several times. After more than 240 years, descendants no longer know the origin of this old house. The process in between is naturally unknown to ordinary people.

But the only difficulty right now is to find the old residence of Wei Guogong in Jinling City!
  However, all this did not trouble Murong Fu. He just thought about it for a moment and soon had an idea in his mind.

……

This Jinling City can now be called the largest city in the south of the Yangtze River. It is naturally difficult for Murong Fu alone to find the whereabouts of Wei Guogong's old residence in a short period of time.

But in this Jinling City, there is someone who can do it!
  As the most prosperous city in the south of the Yangtze River, Jinling City naturally has the influence of Jianghu.

In Jinling City, there is a local gang called the "Golden Dragon Gang". According to legend, this Golden Dragon Gang has power all over Southern Zhili. It is said that there are more than 2,000 disciples in Nanjing City alone.

However, the Golden Dragon Gang is different from the Shiliang Sect, and its local reputation is obviously not bad. Murong Fu just made some inquiries, and some local people enthusiastically praised the reputation of the Golden Dragon Gang.

After finding out from the locals the residence of Jiao Gongli, the leader of the Golden Dragon Gang, Murong Fu did not delay immediately and walked through seven or eight streets in the city, and soon came to the door of a large mansion.

But today, the door of Jiao Mansion is open to the outside. There are a lot of guests in front of the door, and guests from north to south are coming in in an endless stream.

Seeing that Murong Fu had a face like a crown jade and an extraordinary demeanor, the disciple who was responsible for receiving guests outside the Jiao Mansion naturally did not dare to neglect him and immediately introduced Murong Fu into the mansion himself.

When Murong Fu came to the table, the banquet was immediately opened in the Jiao Mansion.

This sect is completely different from the Shiliang sect in Quzhou.

The Jinlong Gang has great wealth and power. This time they held a grand banquet. The tables and chairs were all embroidered with gold and red. The fine porcelain chopsticks were on the table. The dishes were extremely exquisite. The chef who prepared the dishes was a famous chef from Nanjing. Rouge-like aged Shaoxing wine.

After Murong Fu entered the table, he noticed that many people were looking at him secretly, but Murong Fu didn't pay attention at all. Instead, he could tell at a glance that many of the people attending the banquet today were not good-natured.

Seeing this, Murong Fu became somewhat interested.

It should be noted that there was still some time before the three-month appointment between He Hongyao and Taoist Huangmu. Naturally, he would not be impatient. He turned his eyes and looked at the people who were attending the banquet today.

These people are all different in height and thinness, and their martial arts cultivation levels are also very different.

Among the guests present at the banquet, there was only one person whose martial arts skills were worthy of Murong Fu taking a second look. This person had a mediocre appearance, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but his skin was dark and he was not tall. However, this dark-skinned young man's breathing was very long. It was obvious that he had quite a lot of accomplishments in his inner family.

Therefore, Murong Fu's eyes lingered on him for a moment, but compared to this dark-skinned young man, there was another figure beside him that made Murong Fu's eyes brighter.

This person only looks to be about eighteen or nineteen years old. He wears an azure satin shirt and a green scarf on his head with a piece of white jade. His clothes are elegant and he is obviously different from the simple-looking dark-skinned young man next to him.

This man's complexion was fair and his face was white and rosy. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was snow-white and pink. Even Murong Fu couldn't help but praise him when he saw this. He was such a beautiful young man with a handsome face.

However, Murong Fu was a man of two generations, and he soon realized that the beautiful young man in front of him was a Xibei. When his eyes fell on his extremely smooth neck, he couldn't help but smile in his heart.

At the same time, Murong Fu seemed to remember something, and he quickly guessed the identities of the two people. Perhaps they were Yuan Chengzhi and Wen Qingqing who were traveling together.

Thinking of this, Murong Fu couldn't help but feel something in his heart. It was obvious that he still understood what was happening here!
  And all of this starts with Jiao Gongli, the current leader of the Jinlong Gang. It turns out that Jiao Gongli was in the green forest in his early years, setting up a mountain in Shuanglonggang and robbing houses.

At the beginning, Min Ziye, a master of the Xiandu sect and the chief escort of the Huiyou Escort Bureau in Jinan Prefecture, Shandong Province, was greedy for sex and lust. When he saw that the second lady of Qiu Daotai, the escort master, was born beautiful, he took advantage of it and conspired with the master of Feihu Village, Zhang Zhai, to murder and rob her. When Jiao Gongli heard about such a shameless act, he was so indignant that he revealed the conspiracy and chopped off Min Ziye with a knife.

After Jiao Gongli killed Min Ziye, he knew that he had offended the Xiandu sect, so he took the Fu Bian from Zhang Zhai leader and the letter of thanks from Qiu Daotai to the Dragon and Tiger Temple in Xiandu Mountain to see Taoist Huangmu.

The disciples of the Xiandu Sect had already received the news and were in trouble with Jiao Gongli on the way. Fortunately, he was lucky enough to bump into Xia Xueyi, the "Golden Snake Man". Xia Xueyi personally escorted Jiao Gongli up the mountain and explained the matter clearly to Taoist Huangmu, and the two parties resolved Hatred.

Taoist priest Huang Mu was very knowledgeable and restricted his disciples to never seek revenge on Jiao Gongli; but for the sake of the reputation of the Xiandu sect, he asked Jiao Gongli not to publicize this matter outside.

Later, Min Ziye's brother Min Zihua sent Yicheng down the mountain in Xiandu with the intention of avenging his brother. However, most of the brothers in the sect knew the inside story of the matter, so they could only excuse themselves and wait until the master returned in the future.

However, Min Zihua failed to realize the deeper meaning, so he took his fellow disciple Dong Xuan and invited experts from various sects to come to Jinling City to seek revenge on Jiao Gongli.

Min Zihua had a wide range of friends and famous teachers, so he invited many good people, including Master Shili, the superintendent of Qingliang Temple in Nanyang, Henan, Zheng Qiyun, the general leader of the seventy-two overseas islands, and even Kunlun, Emei, and even Disciples from Huashan also traveled thousands of miles to help him.

After Jiao Gongli learned about this, he went to visit his old friend "Taibai Sanying", hoping to ask the three people to mediate and resolve the hatred.

But Jiao Gongli didn't know anything. Taibai Sanying had already secretly defected to the foreign country, became a traitor, and acted as an internal agent of the barbarians, trying to lure Jiao Gongli into trouble.
  After being sternly reprimanded and rejected by Jiao Gongli, Taibai Sanying naturally had evil thoughts in his heart. He wanted to take this opportunity to uproot the Golden Dragon Gang, seize the Jiangnan Gang's territory, sow discord among the martial arts people, and cause everyone to kill each other. To expand his power, when the Qing troops entered the pass, they started to respond internally. Later, there was a story about Min Zihua inviting people to Jinling to avenge his brother.

When Murong Fu saw this, it was not difficult to guess that Taoist Huangmu had never seen his disciple before, otherwise he would not have made such a fuss!

Min Zihua, Master Shili, Zheng Qiyun, famous Kunlun sect Zhang Xinyi, Huashan sect's Mei Jianhe, Sun Zhongjun, etc. were sitting at the head table. Jiao Gongzha personally accompanied him and encouraged him to drink. Mei Jianhe and others did not drink, they just looked at Min Zihua's face.

Min Zihua suddenly picked up the wine glass, threw it on the ground, smashed it into pieces with a bang, and shouted: "Jiao, all my good friends in the martial arts world are here today. How to end my revenge for killing my brother, you decide for yourself. Bar."

This Min Zihua looked to be only about thirty years old. He had bulging veins on his hands and a fierce look on his face. His behavior and walking showed that he was quite skilled in martial arts.

Seeing him mention it so straightforwardly, Jiao Gongli found it hard to answer.

Seeing Jiao Gongli in trouble, the girl standing behind him suddenly stepped forward and took the initiative to explain to him: "Master Min, there is another reason behind this matter. Let me explain it to my father."

It turned out that this girl was Jiao Gongli's eldest daughter, Jiao Wan'er. Now the Jiao family was facing a powerful enemy, but as a daughter, she did not want to hide behind her. After learning the whole story, she took the initiative to explain the original grudges.

When everyone heard the sound and looked around, they saw that the girl was about sixteen or seventeen years old, but she was very beautiful, with an oval face, a high nose, and quite a heroic spirit. Many people couldn't help but take a closer look.

But at this moment, a strong wind suddenly hit the door in front of her, and Jiao Wan'er hurriedly lowered her head, but she was only proficient in martial arts, how could she dodge such a blow?
  Fortunately, at this moment, Jiao Gongli suddenly took action and pulled his daughter back seemingly inadvertently. There was a bang and a five-inch long triangular steel nail was nailed to the table.

The disciple behind Jiao Gongli saw who made the steel nails and became furious. He immediately pulled out a single sword and shouted: "Okay, you plotted against my Junior Brother Luo. Cutting off his arm doesn't count. Now you, a bitch, want to harm me again." My junior sister!" After saying that, he was about to pounce on her and fight.

When Jiao Gongli saw this, he hurriedly stopped and scolded: "Don't be rude in front of distinguished guests."

At the same time, he turned to look at the tall and thin woman sitting at the table next to him. This woman was quite beautiful, with slightly frowning eyebrows, and a pair of almond-shaped eyes that seemed to contain evil spirits, making people shudder.

Jiao Gongli, who recognized the woman's identity, could only smile bitterly and said: "Miss Sun is a master of the Huashan sect, why should she be as knowledgeable as a little girl..."

This tall and thin woman, known as the "Flying Witch" Sun Zhongjun, is a disciple of the Huashan Sect's "Invincible Divine Fist" who has returned to Xin Shu's sect. She is arrogant, impatient, and ruthless in her actions.

Zeng Jin just wanted to be treated lightly. Not only did he kill the culprit, but he also implicated others. He even killed his seventy-year-old mother, his innocent wife, and all three young children.

His methods are so ruthless that even among the underworld, few people can escape him!
  Even not long ago, Jiao Gongli specially sent his disciples to deliver invitations, but Sun Zhongjun cut off one of his arms with his own hands.

Jiao Gongli knew this very well, but Sun Zhongjun was a famous teacher and now he had a formidable enemy, so he had to suppress his anger.

But Jiao Gongli asked himself that he had been polite enough, but in the face of Jiao Gongli's forbearance, Sun Zhongjun said coldly: "This matter is irrefutable, so what is there to say? If Mr. Jiao doesn't want the house to be filled with blood today, then he should commit suicide early." !”

As soon as these words came out, the huge Jiao Mansion naturally became silent.

Murong Fu's expression did not change, he had obviously understood this woman's character from his past memories, but the expression of the dark-skinned young man at the banquet changed drastically, and he obviously did not expect Sun Zhongjun's arrogance and domineering behavior.
