Dream about the world of martial arts

Chapter 21 Returning to the Clouds and Riding the Wind

() The three prefectures of Su, Chang, and Hu are in Taihu Lake's lapel, and all the water in the southeast flows here.The 72 peaks in the lake are verdant and stand tall among the [-] hectares of blue waves.Looking around, the eyes are full of green, which is refreshing.

Meng Xunzhen rented a small boat in the fishing village by the lake, and rowed into the lake.Gradually far away from the shore, looking around, the blue waves are like a mirror, vast and boundless. It is really impossible to know whether the world is in the lake or the sea, or the lake and the sea are in the sky.

More than ten miles offshore, there is a bamboo-shaped reef with a diameter of about three feet in the lake.A small boat was moored beside the reef, a fisherman in the bow was sitting and fishing, and a boy in the stern was watching the tea stove and fanning the fire to make tea.The misty waves are vast, and you are fishing alone with one pole. This scene looks like a landscape of ink and wash. <The wind leaves a boat, a cocoon thread and a light hook.The Zhu is full of flowers, the Ou is full of wine, and there is freedom in the waves of ten thousand hectares.Brother Lu, you are so comfortable! "

The fisherman raised his head when he heard the poem recited by Meng Xunzhen, showing a thin and thin face.After seeing clearly that it was Meng Xunzhen who came, his face showed joy, and he said with a smile: "I said that when I came out of Guiyun Village this morning, I heard the magpies chirping on the branches, and indeed a distinguished guest has arrived. Don't In the next few years, how has my virtuous brother been doing?"

"Brother Hong Fu, it's okay." Meng Xunzhen replied with a smile, rowed over, tied the two boats side by side, and stepped onto the other boat.

This fisherman is none other than Lu Chengfeng, the abandoned disciple of Peach Blossom Island and the owner of Guiyun Villa.A year ago, Lu Chengfeng's son, Lu Guanying, who became the head of the Taihu Pirates, led a group of people to rob and kill a corrupt official who was transferred to other places after scraping all the land.The corrupt official also knew that he had done a lot of unrighteousness, so he hired a few people from the rivers and lakes to accompany him as guards with a lot of money.Among these people, there were quite a few tough ones. Lu Guanying lost several of his subordinates, and he also suffered a little injury. Seeing that he could only return without success.

It happened that Meng Xunzhen, who was swimming in the world of swords, passed by Taihu Lake at that time, and heard about the notoriety of the corrupt official, so he helped him and restrained the masters among the guards.

Lu Guanying was overjoyed when he saw this, and led the crowd to charge again. First, he caught the corrupt official and killed him with a knife, but he didn't violate the family members of the corrupt official.Half of the plundered money is used to help the poor people, and the other half is distributed equally among the villages, which is quite a demeanor of robbers and righteousness.

Everything has been decided, Lu Guanying naturally wants to come to thank Meng Xunzhen for his help, and invite Meng Xunzhen to his home as a guest.Hearing that Jiang Yang's bandit, Fang Ruoguan, declared his name to be Lu Guanying, Meng Xunzhen didn't refuse, and followed him to Guiyun Villa to meet Lu Chengfeng.

Lu Chengfeng was also grateful to Meng Xunzhen for helping his son, so he treated him graciously and left him to live in the village for more than ten days.After more than ten days of getting along, Lu Chengfeng certainly admired Meng Xunzhen's shocking martial arts at a young age, and Meng Xunzhen also admired all the miscellaneous knowledge Lu Chengfeng learned on Peach Blossom Island. Forget the year.It's just that Lu Chengfeng has never revealed his identity as the heir of Taohua Island, and Meng Xunzhen just doesn't know.Instead, he taught Lu Guanying a lot of kung fu in the name of sparring, which made Lu Guanying admire this uncle who was not a few years older than himself.

There is a reason why Meng Xunzhen came to see Lu Chengfeng this time.That day after Hong Qigong left without saying goodbye, Meng Xunzhen discussed with Guo Jing and Huang Rong about where he would go in the future.Huang Rong ran away from home, Guo Jing "run away from marriage", and Meng Xunzhen is currently wandering the rivers and lakes, and the three of them have no clear destination.

Just as he was hesitating where to go, he suddenly heard a commotion outside the door.The three of them went out of the shop to have a look, but they saw a group of golden soldiers rushing across the market, surrounded by two large sedan chairs, and in front of them were the guard of honor and the banner of "Emperor of the Great Jin Kingdom".

Meng Xunzhen was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that the Jin Guo Mission would still be sent out after Yang Kang's death, and then he was stunned again.He remembered that the purpose of this mission in the original book was to destroy the Mongolian Union Song's plan to conquer gold. Naturally, such important military affairs would not be abolished because of the life and death of one person, even if that person was the son of a prince.

Now that the Jin Guo Mission has come, presumably Lu Guanying, who was a bandit in Taihu Lake, will still act as in the original book, and more importantly, Duan Tiande, Guo Jing's father-killing enemy and now the commanding envoy, will also appear.Thinking of this, Meng Xunzhen told Guo Huang that he was going to visit his old friend at Guiyun Villa by the shore of Taihu Lake, and invited them to go with him.

Of course, they went together but did not go together, Meng Xunzhen has no interest in spoiling the atmosphere between a pair of young lovers.Therefore, after he informed the two of them of their detailed addresses, he first rode the double eagles to Taihu Lake.

After seeing Meng Xunzhen, Lu Chengfeng was very happy, took away the fishing gear and invited Meng Xunzhen to talk at home.When the boat reaches the shore, there are people from Guiyunzhuang waiting on it.Lu Chengfeng first ordered one of them to return the leased boat on Meng Xunzhen's behalf, and then accused Meng Xunzhen of his crime, then sat on a soft chair carried by the two of them, and returned to Guiyun Village together.

Someone went back to the village to report the news, Lu Guanying was waiting at the gate, when she saw Meng Xunzhen, she rushed forward to pay respects as a junior.

Meng Xunzhen smiled and pulled him up from the ground, and at the same time tried his kung fu by using internal energy in his hands secretly, and found that his kung fu had improved a lot compared to a year ago, and his advice to him at the beginning was quite effective .

Everyone entered this magnificent manor with a vast area and numerous pavilions, walked through three courtyards, and sat down in the back hall.Not long after the banquet was held, the Lu family father and son chatted with Meng Xunzhen while eating and drinking, and each recounted their experiences in the past year.Lu Guanying also asked Meng Xunzhen some questions about martial arts, and Meng Xunzhen was not stingy, and gave detailed answers one by one.

That night, Meng Xunzhen stayed at Guiyun Manor for several days, or went boating and fishing with Lu Chengfeng, or wandered around nearby scenic spots. The days were very pleasant.On the fifth day, Guo Jing and Huang Rong also arrived at Taihu Lake.Because Meng Xunzhen had already said hello, Lu Guanying arranged for his servants to wait for them to welcome them back to Yunzhuang.

Huang Rong couldn't help but secretly wondered when she saw Guiyun Village's layout and style inherited from Peach Blossom Island.

Lu Chengfeng met the two in the study room. Huang Rong saw that the room was full of classics, calligraphy, paintings, treasures and antiques, the quality and quantity of which were not inferior to those collected by her father Huang Yaoshi on Peach Blossom Island. Watch carefully.Lu Chengfeng saw that she looked like an expert, so he asked Huang Rong for a taste.

Huang Rong is a playful child, deliberately showing off her talents and learning, and constantly conveyed all the knowledge she learned from her father since she was a child. Pros and cons.

Lu Chengfeng immediately introduced the little girl Huang Rong as his lifelong confidant, and ordered someone to bring out some of his treasures, and admire them with Huang Rong.

Meng Xunzhen, Guo Jing and Lu Guanying, the three "rough people", had no interest in these things, so they gathered together to discuss some martial arts principles.

Both sides were enjoying themselves, and just as they were talking, there was a family member outside the door leading a thin middle-aged man to see him.Although the man was dressed as a fisherman, his fierce aura was completely different from the bitter haha ​​who haunted the turmoil all day long for food and clothing.

"Brother Zhang, is there any news?" Seeing the man, Lu Guanying got up and let him in and asked.

That elder brother opened his mouth to answer, but when he saw a strange face in the study, he kept silent again, with a questioning look on his face.

Lu Guanying smiled and said, "All of you here are good friends, so it's okay for you to speak out."

Brother Zhang cupped his hands and said, "I'm reporting to Young Master, Jin Guoqin envoy is expected to cross the lake tonight, and the command envoy from Da Song's side, Mr. Duan, will go down to the lake an hour earlier."

Lu Guanying sneered and said, "I heard that Commander Duan collected a lot of people's fat along the way!"

"Isn't it?" Brother Zhang showed an indignant look on his face, "that dog officer, in the name of welcoming the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin, searched all the way in the states and counties along the road, and even allowed his soldiers to openly plunder in the countryside. .I saw with my own eyes that his entourage carried more than 20 boxes of belongings, and each box was extremely heavy!"

Lu Guanying asked: "How many soldiers and horses did Duan bring?"

Brother Zhang replied: "There are about [-] horse troops, but I don't think they have enough boats prepared by the lake. They can carry at most [-] soldiers on foot."

Lu Guanying slammed his right fist into his left palm, and shouted: "If you tell that dog official to take away these people from Taihu Lake, our brothers in the 36th village will have no face and be called heroes again! Brother Zhang, what do you brothers from other villages say? "

Brother Zhang stood upright and clasped his fists: "All of us are willing to listen to the young master's orders!"

Lu Guanying laughed loudly and said: "In this case, I would like to ask Brother Zhang to inform all brothers that we will have a reunion at the lakeside tonight at Xushi, and we will deal with that dog official first, and then we will go to capture the imperial envoy of the Great Jin Kingdom!"

Brother Zhang took the order to leave, and Lu Guanying got up and asked Lu Chengfeng who had been chatting with Huang Rong, but never looked this way: "Daddy, I..."

Lu Chengfeng waved his hands casually, and said indifferently: "Illegal wealth, taking it won't hurt integrity, you go!"

After Lu Guanying confessed to Meng Xunzhen and the other three, he hurried out. Meng Xunzhen thought that Yang Kang had caused him some trouble in the whole process of the original book. Now that Yang Kang is dead, Lu Guanying should have no difficulty going here, so he never He reminded him to be careful, just thinking about how to get Duan Tiande to reveal his identity after being arrested, so that Guo Jing would know that this is his father-killing enemy.

That night, Meng Xunzhen was awakened suddenly by a whining sound in his sleep. When he listened carefully, it seemed that someone was blowing conch shells in the distance.After a while, the whining sound came out again, far away from the previous sound, obviously not alone, but seemed to be greeting and answering.After a while, he heard rustling noises from the room next door. He knew it was Lu Guanying's group of robbers preparing to commit crimes at the Taihu Lake Convention, and Guo Jing and Huang Rong must have been unable to hold back their curiosity and went out to watch the fun, so they didn't take it seriously. , turned over and fell asleep again.

Early the next morning, Meng Xun really had breakfast with Lu Chengfeng.Suddenly hearing footsteps outside the door, Meng Xunzhen and Lu Chengfeng frowned slightly in unison.They all heard that one of them acted lightly, as if he was injured, but this person was actually Lu Guanying.Then Guo Jing, Huang Rong and Lu Guanying came in together. Lu Guanying's face was pale, and her right arm was wrapped in a white cloth and hung around her neck. She was indeed injured.

"What's going on?" Meng Xunzhen and Lu Chengfeng asked at the same time.

Lu Guanying showed embarrassment on his face, and said: "The Jin Guoqin's boat has a hard point, and it injured a dozen people on our side as soon as it came up. I stepped forward to fight him, and I was shocked by his punch after only three moves. Broken arm. If Uncle Guo hadn't rescued him in time, he would have almost lost his life."

Lu Chengfeng said in a deep voice, "Who hurt you?"

Lu Guanying replied, "It's a Tibetan monk."

"Tibetan monk?" Meng Xun's heart moved, and he asked Guo Jing, "Could it be the master of spiritual wisdom in Wanyan Honglie's residence?"

"It's not a master of spiritual wisdom. That Tibetan monk is about the same age as my younger brother, and looks very handsome." Guo Jing replied, with a strange look on his face, "And the kung fu he uses seems to be taught to me by you, elder brother." Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu'!"
