Everything starts from Tian Long Ba Bu

Chapter 138 Yuan Chengzhi, the prince-in-law of the Ming Dynasty, and Xia Qingqing, the direct successor of the Five Poisons Sect!

In just one day, Murong Fu and his two daughters arrived at Jinling City.

Since Chongzhen moved to Nanshou Jinling, this original companion capital has completely become the capital of the entire Ming Dynasty.

There were already institutions in Jinling City that were equivalent to the Six Ministries of the Imperial Court, but they did not have real power. However, with Chongzhen's southern expedition, the Six Ministries of Jinling, which originally served as a facade, began to function.

Perhaps because the intruders had marched south not long ago, the guards outside Jinling City were quite tight.

Of course, for Murong Fu and his party, this was of no avail.

However, after using a little light-weight technique, Murong Fu and his three men appeared in Jinling City in a swaggering manner. After entering the city, Murong Fu took his two girls and went straight to Jiao Mansion.

It was just funny to say that on the way, Murong Fu once heard passers-by mention that Jiao Gongli had a new nickname, and that he had completely changed from the "iron-backed golden turtle" to the "unparalleled benevolence and righteousness" Mr. Jiao.

In Jinling City, whenever anyone mentioned the name of Mr. Jiao Gongli, everyone would give a thumbs up and say, "Old hero!"
  This obvious change naturally surprised Murong Fu.

After a short time, Murong Fu and his entourage arrived outside Jiao Mansion.

"Master Murong!"

Before Murong could speak, a Jiao Mansion disciple standing outside the door recognized him from afar and said with surprise.

"Oh, you still remember me!"

Murong Fu saw a slightly familiar figure in front of him and smiled slightly.

"Mr. Murong is joking, no one in the entire Golden Dragon Gang dares to forget your grace in the house that day!"

After saying this, the Jiao Mansion disciple saluted Murong Fu with great respect.

Instigated by the "Taibai Three Heroes", Min Zihua from the Xiandu faction invited many heroes outside the city to come to Jinling to seek revenge. If Master Murong had not taken action to completely resolve the feud between the two families, I am afraid that he would not be as prosperous as he is now. The Golden Dragon Gang.

"My lady and Gang Leader He are both in the house today!"

As if he understood Murong Fu's intention, he added respectfully.

Murong Fu said: "That's good, it just saves me the effort of looking for her!"

After saying this, he and his two daughters stepped into the Jiao Mansion.

Outside the hall, Murong Fu could hear the sobbing of a woman from afar, and he could also hear Jiao Wan'er's comforting voice: "Miss Xia, don't worry too much, I will find a chance to talk to Mr. Yuan! "

Hearing this, Murong Fu frowned slightly, obviously guessing that the person was Xia Qingqing, the daughter of the Golden Snake Master.

"Sister Jiao, the young master and I are here to pick you up!"

But at this time, A'Zhu, who stepped into Jiao Mansion, suddenly said loudly.

"A'Zhu?"

As if he heard A'Zhu's voice, Jiao Wan'er in the hall seemed to be surprised. Not long after, she appeared in plain clothes in front of Murong Fu.

After not seeing each other for a long time, Jiao Wan'er seemed to have lost her temper, and her original heroic spirit suddenly gained a hint of cold temperament. Coupled with her already beautiful appearance, she would undoubtedly quickly attract the attention of men all over the world.

"Master Murong!"

As soon as Jiao Wan'er came out, she first saw Murong Fu standing elegantly in white clothes, and she was immediately surprised.

"Miss Jiao, I'm here to pick you up!"

Looking at the thinned woman in front of him, Murong Fu smiled slightly.

"Master..."

Hearing this, Jiao Wan'er's tone actually choked up.

"I told you that Master will definitely come to you, now you can rest assured!"

Along with a burst of familiar sweet and charming smile, he saw a beautiful woman next to Jiao Wan'er, and this woman was naturally He Tieshou.

"Iron hand..."

Hearing He Tieshou's joke, Jiao Wan'er quickly blushed and no longer looked like the capable woman she had been before.

"Disciple Iron Hand pays homage to Master!"

Seeing Jiao Wan'er's pretty face turn red, He Tieshou stopped joking, and at the same time he spoke respectfully and saluted Murong Fu who was standing aside.

"Since I promised you, I will naturally not break my promise!"

Murong Fu shook his head slightly as if he understood what Jiao Wan'er was thinking these days.

"I'll take you back now!"

Then looking at Jiao Wan'er in front of him, Murong Fu smiled slightly.

"I've met Mr. Murong!"

At this time, a beautiful girl with beautiful eyebrows, jade cheeks and cherry lips also took the initiative to salute Murong Fu.

"Sir, this is Miss Xia!"

Jiao Wan'er took the initiative to introduce the girl beside her.

"Are you the daughter of Mr. Golden Snake?"

Looking at the beautiful girl in front of him, Murong Fu couldn't help but sigh in his heart. No wonder Xia Xueyi made He Hongyao and Wen Yi miss him so much.

Xia Qingqing heard this, and then she nodded slowly with red eyes.

When they met in the Jiao Mansion, she and Yuan Chengzhi were in a pair, but now she was alone, while Murong Fu in front of her was accompanied by many girls, which invisibly increased the sadness in her heart. feel.

"Did you and Yuan Chengzhi have another dispute?"

Seeing that the corners of Xia Qingqing's eyes were slightly red, Murong Fu had already guessed something.

"Ok!"

Hearing this, Xia Qingqing nodded slightly, and her eye circles seemed to turn red again at this moment.

"What happened these days?"

Seeing the scene in front of him, Murong Fu was speechless and looked at the crowd.

"Master, you don't know something. Ever since Yuan Chengzhi rescued the Ming Emperor from the capital, he has been attracted by the emperor's daughter. A few days ago, he even wanted to make him his consort..."

He Tieshou chuckled and slowly told everything that had happened in the past few days.

It turns out that after Murong Fu scolded Yuan Chengzhi severely in the old Dagongfang mansion, he seemed to have woken up...

In the capital, Yuan Chengzhi not only put down the rebellion of Cao Huachun and King Hui for Chongzhen, but also personally escorted Chongzhen's family to Jinling City safely when the intruders broke through the capital.

Jiao Gongli led the Golden Dragon Gang to pick him up in advance, and was also appreciated by Chongzhen. Not only did he give them official positions, he also personally gave Jiao Gongli the four characters "unparalleled benevolence and righteousness".

And this is the origin of his reputation as "unparalleled benevolence and righteousness" among the people of Jinling!
  At present, Jiao Gongli is being brought to the court by Chongzhen to discuss good strategies to deal with the intruders.

It should be noted that Jiao Gongli was just a Jiangnan gang leader, but he was regarded by Chongzhen as his right-hand man who could be relied on. This shows the weakness of the Southern Ming court.

"So that's why the two of you had a dispute?"

After hearing this, Murong Fu finally understood what happened to this pair of happy enemies.

Jiao Wan'er said: "Master, Miss Xia is not entirely motivated by this matter, but when Master Yuan assassinated Wu Sangui at night not long ago, she was seriously injured by a sneak attack by a master who had ambushed in the tent in advance!"

"Master?"

Hearing this, Murong Fu frowned slightly.

In the world at the end of the Ming Dynasty, perhaps because of the impending troubled times, most of the famous and decent sects chose to close the mountains. Shaolin is an example. Only the Huashan sect chose to support the Ming Dynasty and blatantly entered the game.

In his eyes now, Yuan Chengzhi's martial arts is naturally not a formidable opponent!
  But in this world of martial arts at the end of the Ming Dynasty, his martial arts skills were enough to rank among the top ten in the martial arts world, and the only person who could rival him was the abandoned disciple Yu Zhenzi of the Iron Sword Sect.

But this man was killed by him long ago outside the customs, and he also killed all the five elders of the Wen family. Who in the world can hurt him now?
  Unless he is a fellow disciple of the Huashan Sect!
  Thinking of this, Murong Fu shook his head slightly. Mu Renqing’s reputation is not in vain. He has profound internal skills. It would not be unusual for him to live for several decades!
  With him in charge, the Huashan Sect cannot be in chaos!
  "Could he be a master of Shaolin and Wudang sects?"

As soon as Murong Fu thought about it, he quickly thought of something.

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from the young master!"

When Jiao Wan'er heard this, her eyes showed surprise.

"The master who ambushed Wu Sangui's tent was a master from the Shaolin Temple. However, Mr. Yuan's Qinggong and body skills were extremely high, so that man did not have time to take action during the assassination!"

Speaking of this, Jiao Wan'er shook his head slightly.

"So, Yuan Chengzhi was injured?"

Hearing this, Murong Fu seemed to have guessed what Xia Qingqing was thinking.

Jiao Wan'er's eyes showed regret as she said: "Yes, Mr. Yuan's injuries are unclear. Sister He and I also went to visit him, but he was injured internally and we couldn't help him!"

"What about the Huashan sect?"

Hearing this, Murong Fu suddenly felt strange.

"Since Brother Yuan changed his mind and wanted to help the Ming Emperor, those fellow sects of the Huashan Sect no longer interact with him!"

This time it was Xia Qingqing who shook her head.

Murong Fu asked: "Where is Mu Renqing?"

"Brother Yuan didn't want his mentor to misunderstand the rift in the family, so he never mentioned it to his mentor!"

Speaking of this, Xia Qingqing's tone was slightly helpless.

Jiao Wan'er said: "Some time ago, the intruders sent experts into the city to assassinate them, and even sneaked into the palace. Fortunately, they were noticed by Young Master Yuan, and they survived, and my father was also introduced to the court!"

"So you are worried about his safety!"

After hearing the explanations from Jiao Wan'er and others, Murong Fu understood Xia Qingqing's thoughts.

Being jealous is one thing, but she is more worried that Yuan Chengzhi alone will not be able to stop the big masters who have joined Li Zicheng!
  "Xia Qing is willing to be a slave, all he wants is that the young master can teach Qing Qing martial arts!"

Not knowing what she was thinking of, Xia Qingqing suddenly knelt down towards Murong Fu.

However, no matter how hard she exerted all her strength, she still found it difficult to kneel down, because there seemed to be a gentle strength under her knees that lifted her up in the air.

Seeing such a mysterious scene, Xia Qingqing's thoughts became even more intense, and she immediately took the initiative to hold her hands in front of her and said, "I beg you, Master, to teach Qingqing basic martial arts!"

"For Yuan Chengzhi, you are willing to..."

Looking at Xia Qingqing, who was originally suspicious, jealous, petty, and easy to speak harshly when angry, she actually took the initiative to restrain her temper for Yuan Chengzhi and bowed her head to him...

Murong Fu not only shook his head slightly.

"But I'm still young and don't want to accept any more disciples..."

As Murong Fu said this, the hope in Xia Qingqing's eyes gradually dimmed.

"But I think you are jealous and have a bit of a mean temperament, but you are a good candidate for the Five Poison Sect. Iron Hand, have you chosen the leader of the Five Poison Sect now?"

But suddenly, Murong Fu looked at He Tieshou again.

He Tieshou smiled sweetly and said: "Reporting to Master, my aunt He Hongyao will take over the Five Poison Sect for the time being. She has been living in Huashan for a long time, so naturally she has no intention of doing anything else!"

Murong Fu said: "Well, I wonder if you would like to join the Five Poison Sect. If you can lead the Five Poison Sect in the future, you can naturally provide another strong supporter for Yuan Chengzhi!"

"I am willing!"

When Xia Qingqing heard this, her eyes showed surprise.

She is no longer the willful and indulgent little girl she was back then, and she also understands that compared to the upright martial arts from famous families, the martial arts she learned from the Wen family are just the martial arts of a three-legged cat, and are simply not worth mentioning.

Moreover, she is already old. Even if she joins a big sect, her learning will be limited.

The Five Poison Sect is uniquely different. Although it is a local sect in Yunnan and Guangxi, when its name is mentioned in the world, everyone is afraid!
  If she could learn the poison-resisting methods of the Five Poison Sect, she would naturally be able to solve the current dilemma for Brother Yuan.

So of course she was overjoyed when she heard what Murong Fu said.

"Okay, Tie Shou, you will teach her the martial arts of the Five Poison Sect in the next few days!"

Seeing Xia Qingqing nod, Murong Fu made the decision for her.

"Miss Xia, my Five Poison Sect martial arts practice is very different from the Central Plains secret art. You must be mentally prepared these days!"

Seeing Xia Qingqing nod, He Tieshou put away his usual smile and said seriously.

"Sister He, I understand!"

When Xia Qingqing heard this, she seemed to see the colorful poisonous insects in front of her eyes at this moment, but she still suppressed her surprise.

"it is good!"

When He Tieshou heard this, he just smiled sweetly.

The stubborn girl in front of her seemed to let her see her young self.

"Mr. Murong, Brother Yuan was injured internally, and he took action forcefully a few days ago. I'm worried about him..."

Xia Qingqing finally looked at Murong Fu with pleading eyes.

Murong Fu said: "Don't worry, I will help him recover from his injuries!"

Jiao Wan'er had stayed with her in the world of Tianlong for a long time, spending less time with her parents and more separation. Now that Jiao Gongli had finally become rich, Murong Fu naturally wanted to help him.

Yuan Chengzhi was an exception. When he first came to the Ming Dynasty, he was pedantic and unbearable.

But now he suddenly woke up and picked up the unfinished business of Yuan Chonghuan back then. Surprisingly, Murong Fu didn't mind helping him!

However, this time of martial arts decline, Murong Fu, who holds the Void Stone Gate, is not very attractive at all, so he simply helps him, and let's see what surprises they can bring to Murong Fu in the future!
  ……

Jinling, inside the imperial city.

Yuan Chengzhi's face turned pale and he was closing his eyes to heal his injuries.

What he learned was the internal strength of Huashan True Tradition, so he was able to escape a lucky break when he received a sneak attack from the bald donkey a few days ago.

But even so, Ke was inevitably seriously injured. A few days ago, he was forced to take action to eliminate the thieves and assassins who had sneaked into the imperial city.

The injuries are now so severe that they are irreversible.

"Qingqing..."

As if he had a premonition that his end was coming, Yuan Chengzhi, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, couldn't help but whisper a name.

For his confidante, Yuan Chengzhi had inexplicable feelings in his heart, especially when he understood that he was implicated in Wen Yi's death and Qingmei lost her mother.

I wanted to take care of her all her life, but it seems I can’t do it now!

Thinking of this, Yuan Chengzhi's eyes showed bitterness.

But suddenly, there was a pure and inner family energy on his shoulder, and at the same time, there was an extremely familiar voice in his ear. He just heard him say: "Since you care about your young sister so much, why don't you hurt her?" After she gets better, how about going to see her in person?"

"Master Murong!"

Yuan Chengzhi said with surprise in his eyes as he glanced at the man in white who had appeared behind him at some point.

"You're seriously injured, so don't speak anymore. I'll help you heal first!"

Just by touching each other, Murong Fu noticed Yuan Chengzhi's current situation and frowned slightly.
