Struggle in the martial arts world

All Honghuatang of Tiandihui mobilized and almost turned the area around the north gate of Yangzhou upside down, and finally heard the exact news from an old foreman.After hearing the news, the three of Liu Meng went there immediately, and asked the old foreman to lead them to find the big pit where the corpses had been hastily buried in a wild forest.

Because of the long history, the Qing soldiers threw all the corpses that died in battle into the pit. Now, after more than [-] years, they have all rotted into bones, and it is difficult to distinguish who is who.

In desperation, why not ask Tiandihui to come forward to help find some funeral workers in the temple, and take out all the bones, and then invite monks to perform a ritual ceremony, incinerate all the bones into ashes, and fill the three jars full, I hired a carriage to pack it, and prepared to transport it back to Hengshan for burial.

It took a month in Yangzhou to complete the important event that the master told him. Why not be afraid that after Liu Meng and the three were tired, they felt very relaxed, and specially held a banquet in Mingyufang for Tiandihui Honghua Tang et al.Then bid farewell to everyone, three people and four horses escorted the carriage carrying the ashes of the predecessors back to Hengshan.

Stop and go, the road is not peaceful at this time, especially in the Anhui area, where there has been a severe drought for years, and the government never takes the Han people seriously, the taxes are extremely heavy, and many people who cannot survive become bandits.Coupled with the corruption of military discipline in the Qing army, they were soldiers during the day and bandits at night, and their momentum suddenly became tense.

Many eyeliners who were spying on the road, saw three knights in fine clothes and horses escorting a carriage with a curtain hanging down, and there were always people walking around every step of the way, thinking that some officials were carrying treasures home, so they couldn't help but make up their minds .

The Ma'anshan area, which is located at the junction of Anhui and Zhejiang, is a deserted and uninhabited place where bandits are rampant.There is an official road at the foot of the mountain. Most of the merchants usually walk in groups to avoid being robbed.

At the corner at the foot of the mountain, there is a relatively flat open space, on which a tea shop has been built with wood and stones. It has been in business for more than ten years. Most of the merchants who often walk this way choose to stop and have a meal here.

This day, the sky was clear and the weather was just right, and the early summer sunshine made people feel extremely sad.

Liu Meng was wearing a blue cloth robe, with a long sword tucked into the side of the saddle, and a bamboo hat to block the sun. His body swayed slightly with the ups and downs of the horse's back, and he was already in a drowsy state.

Escorting the ashes of the seniors of the faction back to the mountain, it is natural not to indulge in laughter, gallop on horses, let alone drink alcohol and meat on the way.Coupled with the slow speed of the carriage, it has been suffocating and uncomfortable for the past half month.Especially Liu Meng, who is very obsessed with this original ecological landscape, wanted to go and see those famous scenery many times, but was dismissed by the elder brother He Buwei, who focused on escorting.

After entering the border area between Anhui and Zhejiang, I have encountered people on the road many times stepping on plates. In the past two days, they have become so presumptuous that they approached the carriage to spy on them. Why don't you be afraid to stop him, saying, "Don't cause more trouble, if he doesn't know what's good and what's wrong, then he will be killed together."

So Liu Meng was full of hope that the other party would suddenly appear somewhere, and shouted, "I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, if you want to live from now on, leave money for the road." 'Then I have an excuse to go up and exercise my skills to relieve the depression of the past half month.

Unexpectedly, from this morning onwards, the spies who had been following behind disappeared without a trace. Until Xiangwu, nothing happened. Liu Meng, who was about to start killing, was so bored that he simply sat on the horse and made an appointment with Duke Zhou. .

But he didn't know that this group of bandits had the best eyes and ears, and they hid back to their lair long ago when they realized that someone who was not to be provoked was approaching from behind.

Fortunately, at this time, He Buwei, who was driving his horse ahead, saw the tea shop, turned around and shouted happily: "There is a tea shop ahead, let's go and rest first."

The three of them didn't have much energy in the lazy sunshine. When they saw a tea shop resting their feet, they immediately regained their spirits. They immediately led the carriage to the open space in front of the tea shop, asked the staff to carry water and drink the horses, and walked into the simple tea shop by themselves. A good thatched shed can be filled with cold tea.

The tea shop is relatively simple, and there is no refined food. After Liu Meng asked, he asked the waiter to cut a catty of boiled mutton and half a catty of brine lamb tripe. Chewing salted duck eggs with tea is quite delicious.

While eating and enjoying themselves, suddenly smoke and dust billowed in the distance, and hooves sounded, and a group of six riders galloped forward from the official road.

In front of him was a young knight with a green brocade cloak, and a very majestic yellow puma under his crotch. When he came to the open space of the tea shop, he reined in the horse fiercely, his hooves flying into the air and a long neigh, full of majesty.

Knowing that this is not someone to be messed with, the man rushed to meet him.Seeing that the young knight had a square face, fair and handsome, he spoke Yunnan-flavored Mandarin, and said to the waiter, "Shopkeeper, hurry up and pick some clean tables, put your best tea on them, and then prepare some wine and meat carefully." Eat, there are noble people behind us, we must be careful to serve them."

As he spoke, the young man stomped into the wooden shed, inspected around, and pointed out a few tables and chairs that were relatively neat and clean with his fingers, and asked the waiter to wipe them down again.Then he walked to the table where Liu Meng and the others were sitting, stared at the long sword leaning against the table, then clasped his fists, and said carelessly: "It looks like you are also walking in the rivers and lakes, please report your name, Everyone stay close."

Although the young man's words were sincere, he had a domineering appearance, which made people disgusted.Why not be afraid to tell him the truth, he didn't even bother to raise his hands, and replied impatiently: "We are decent and good people, the family members of the Zhang Mansion in Yangzhou, not some good men who walk in the rivers and lakes, so you can avoid it if you get close!"

The young man sized up the other party again when he was flatly rejected by the other party. Seeing that he was obviously skilled in martial arts, he only cared about sitting around eating and drinking with the famous coachman, and he didn't want to pay any attention to himself at all. My eyesight is dull, I thought you guys are good men in the world." After speaking, he turned around and left, urging the buddy to make tea quickly.

Everyone in Liu Meng understands the importance of escorting the ashes of the seniors, and they are unwilling to have conflicts with others.Therefore, even though he disliked this domineering young knight with harsh words, he endured it patiently, completely treating him as if he didn't exist.

After a while, the riders who rode the horses arrived one after another, four men and one woman came down, all of them were heroic.The five people went into the wooden shed and sat down, drinking tea to quench their thirst while complaining about the difficult road.A big bearded man noticed that Liu Meng was not afraid of them, and questioned the young man who came earlier suspiciously. After he didn't get an answer, he frowned and thought about it, then stood up and walked forward.

These few people are athletic, with swords and swords, they obviously belong to a certain power in the rivers and lakes.Although Liu Meng and the others didn't want to be troublesome, they secretly paid attention.Why don't you be afraid to see the big man with the beard who looks like the leader coming, so you can't be indifferent anymore, and immediately look up at the other party, showing a puzzled look.

The big man with curly beard clasped his fists as a gesture, and said in a loud voice: "My surname is Wu, and my name is Lishen. Today I can meet a few little brothers in this teahouse, which is also considered fate. I see that they are all heroes among men, and they have a heart to marry. Is there no good fortune to listen to a great name?"
