Xuanyuan Jue

Chapter 32
"Oh, my good young master! You can stop!" Hearing Feng Shen say this, Zha Wuzuo hurriedly grabbed him in a panic. "This is 'talk by the side of the road, listen in the barley'! How can these terrible words be said casually? If they reach the ears of people with ulterior motives, they will not be able to bear it and go around..."

Zha Wuzuo is telling the truth.Right now, the fortunes of the Qing Dynasty are declining. From the court to the common people, everyone is afraid of foreigners from the bottom of their hearts.Feng Shen was stunned for a moment, then stopped talking, and just clenched his fists into a loud "clack".

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Zha Wuzuo turned to Old Man Tian and said, "Old man, what are your plans for the future?"

"Alas..." Old Man Tian sighed, and said, "My grandfather and grandson are very grateful for being rescued by the two benefactors. This place is almost at the root of the imperial city... When I rest again, I will take the muskmelon with me. Going to the city to find someone, I dare not let the two benefactors be suspected of being implicated."

"Ouch, old man!" Zha Wuzuo listened and knew that the old man Tian had misunderstood, "The things I said just now were not aimed at you, they were all forced by this world, don't blame me."

"What's Mr. Zha En talking about?" Old man Tian said again slowly, "We came to Beijing this time to find someone to take refuge in, so why bother?"

"Old hero," Feng Shen interrupted Old Man Tian without waiting for him to finish, "Forgive me for speaking bluntly, that Shi Shengkun may not be so easy to find."

"What?!" Old Man Tian's mouth twitched, his face darkened immediately, "What do you mean? Could it be... Feng Engong also knew Shi Shengkun?"

"I don't know that Shi Shengkun well." Feng Shen shook his head and said, "But I know that the Tiger God Camp has long been abolished."

"That's true," Zha Wuzuo nodded, and said, "After the imperial court negotiated peace with the foreigners, the foreigners made a list, and Duanjun Wang and others who formed the Tiger God Camp were all listed on the list of culprits. The imperial court had no choice but to abolish the Hushenying. Duanjun Wang and others were expelled from the clan mansion, their titles were removed, and they were exiled to Yili, Xinjiang. It is a pity that the Hushenying only existed for more than a year, and then it ceased to exist. gone."

"Oh!" Old man Tian stomped his feet anxiously after hearing this, "Is this a good thing? Is this a good thing? Once I can't survive the winter, there will be no one to rely on..."

Seeing how pitiful they were, Feng Shen couldn't bear it.Moreover, he hated foreigners all his life, so he naturally respected this pair of Tian's grandparents who had fought against foreign captives.

"Old hero, don't panic," Feng Shen pondered for a while, then said to Old Man Tian, ​​"I have an idea."

Upon hearing this, Old Man Tian hurriedly asked, "Can Feng Engong find someone?"

"Otherwise," Feng Shen said, "although the next family is not rich, there are several big houses. If the old hero doesn't dislike it, he will temporarily settle down in the house. When he settles down, he will slowly visit and search for people. This is not as good as endless Is it much better to inquire?"

"Feng Engong is virtuous... the old man has no teeth to forget!" As he said, the old man Tian burst into tears, climbed off the chair and fell to his knees on the ground, "I am a bad old man who is guilty, I dare not burden Feng Engong, I just ask Feng Engong Take the melon back and be a servant girl, and give her enough food to eat, don't let her suffer from cold and starvation... I will be a cow and a horse in my next life... and then I will repay Feng Engong..."

"Old hero, please get up!" Feng Shen felt sore, and hurriedly helped the old man Tian with Zha Wuzuo, "The old hero is so righteous, I respect him from the bottom of my heart, it's nothing more than adding two pairs of chopsticks, so why? Will you abandon the old hero?"

"That's right," Zha Wuzuo also chimed in, "Our Young Master Feng just has a good heart, so you and your grandson just follow along."

"How do I ask my old man to repay this great kindness?" Old man Tian wiped away his dirty tears, and said to the side, "Mustmelon, why don't you hurry up and kowtow to your benefactor?"

But the old man Tian kept calling several times, but the muskmelon didn't agree.

When Feng Shen and the others looked back, they couldn't help laughing.It turned out that the melon was tired and tired, and was sleeping soundly on the table, how could he hear the old man Tian's call?
"Ms. Xianggua is probably tired," Feng Shen said, "Don't be too polite, old hero, just let her sleep for a while."

"Ah," the old man Tian sighed, and said, "The ancestors of the old Tian family were virtuous, allowing me and my father to meet such a bodhisattva-hearted benefactor..."

Feng Shen and Zha Wu laughed and said nothing.Seeing that it's getting late, the matter of interviewing Lai Qing has to be put on tomorrow.Feng Shen stood up and stretched, planning to rush back when the old woman who set up the tea shed came back.

Just as Old Man Tian was about to speak, he suddenly heard a movement.He was originally blind, and his hearing was naturally better than others.He shuddered, feeling something was wrong.

Old man Tian heard rightly, there was indeed a person lying on his stomach in the snow nest not far from the shed.Seeing Feng Shen standing in the tea shed with his back turned to the outside, the man untied a mechanism box from his waist, and quietly pointed at Feng Shen and buckled the mechanism box.

With a sound of "Boom", several black caltrops spewed out from the mechanism box, shooting towards Feng Shen's back.

"Be careful, benefactor!" Old man Tian yelled loudly, looking for the sound, he rushed towards Feng Shen's place.

"Puff puff puff" several muffled sounds, those few barbed thorns completely submerged into the old man Tian's flesh.

"Ah?" Zha Wuzuo was frightened, a barbed caltrop shot past the tip of his nose, and stuck on the wooden post of the tea shed.

"Old hero! Old hero!" Seeing the old man Tian lying behind him covered in blood, Feng Shen was shocked, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

"What are you arguing about..." Disturbed by the noise, Xianggua also woke up rubbing his eyes.But when she saw the scene in front of her clearly, she cried "Grandpa" and rushed towards Old Man Tian.

"Outside...someone outside..." Old Man Tian twitched the corner of his mouth twice, and raised his hand with difficulty.

Seeing that he missed Feng Shen, the man outside got up from the snow nest and ran.

"Stop!" Feng Shen rushed out of the tea shed, and immediately recognized the man who was running away desperately, it was Lai Qing who was playing monkey that day, "Damn thief, where are you running to?"

As soon as he roared, two silver lights shot out from behind him.It turned out that the muskmelon also rushed out, and fired two nail arrows with the crossbow in his sleeve.

Xianggua was worried about Old Man Tian's safety, so he lost his mind when he made a move.One shot missed, and although the other one hit Lai Qing's thigh, it didn't hurt any vital parts.

Feng Shen raised his foot and rushed forward.But that Lai Qing was really vicious, he didn't care about the blood running down his legs, while running wildly, he took the mechanism box and shot back fiercely.

There seemed to be countless barbed thorns hidden in the mechanism box, every time it was shot, it hit Feng Shen like a violent storm.

Seeing that the hidden weapon came dangerously, Feng Shen dared not be careless.He tried his best to avoid the barbed thorns.Even so, Feng Shen was sweating profusely from exhaustion, and when he waited to see again, Lai Qing had already limped away a long way away.

Feng Shen wanted to chase again, but heard a heart-piercing cry from the tea shed behind him.His heart tightened, knowing that the old man Tian might not be able to survive.If Old Man Tian hadn't blocked him, he would have been lying horizontally in the tea shed, most likely it would have been him.In terms of emotion and reason, Feng Shen wanted to go back and watch over Old Man Tian before he died.

"Ah!" Feng Shen stomped his feet, let out a sound of hatred, turned around and ran towards the tea shed.

After returning to the tea shed, Feng Shen was heartbroken.The barbed wire was quenched with poison, and now the poison had already flowed through the blood and traveled all over Old Man Tian's heart orifice.The old man Tian's mouth was drooling, and his face was bruised beyond recognition.Cantaloupe stood aside, crying into tears.

"Old hero! Old hero!" Feng Shen squatted down, his nose sore.

"En... Gongong..." Hearing Feng Shen's call, Old Man Tian exerted his last breath of strength and grabbed Feng Shen's hand tightly. "Scented...cantaloupe...cantaloupe is entrusted to..."

"Don't worry, old hero!" Feng Shen said each word, "This junior... will definitely treat her well!"

Old man Tian grinned with difficulty, his hands were trembling, and he wanted to touch the melon.But before it touched the melon, it suddenly fell from mid-air.

When he waited to see again, two streams of black blood flowed out of Old Man Tian's nose, he had already tilted his head, and died.

"Grandpa!" Xianggua wailed, throwing herself on Old Man Tian's body in agony.

"Master Zha," Feng Shen stood up slowly with a dark face, "That Lai Qing is injured, so he shouldn't be able to run far, you stay here first, I'll go and take that villain!"

"Impossible!" Zha Wuzuo pulled Feng Shen back, "It's getting dark now, you go there alone, and you don't know how deep it is, so don't fall into his tricks..."

"Then let's catch the murderer at night!" Feng Shen said coldly, "Even if I dig three feet into the ground, I will definitely bring him to justice!"
