Chapter 14, Old Du's History

"Although it's the first time I've heard of Wudang Mountain, I think it must be a well-known and upright Taoist resort." The owner of the villa complimented him.

"Master's words are a little too much. Wudang Mountain is just a small mountain, and it is not a holy place." Zhang Sanfeng waved his hands modestly, and then asked: "I don't know the name of the master's family."

Gongsun Xin listened to the conversation between the two, and suddenly realized that the owner of the villa must be the kind of person who talks about people and talks about people.

"My surname is Du, and my full name is Du Chengfeng." Du Chengfeng said.

"Looking at the sad expression on Master Du's face, I guess it's not just because of a new funeral at home." Zhang Sanfeng said.

Du Chengfeng didn't expect the old Taoist in front of him to be so powerful. He suddenly thought of Gongsun Xin conjuring a sword out of thin air, and he was instantly relieved.

He sighed, and swept Zhang Sanfeng and Gongsun Xin again and again, as if grasping at a straw.

He thought to himself, how about asking these two for help to solve the urgent need first, if he gave them all the cause and effect, the two of them would definitely not refuse.

Thinking about it in his heart, he made up his mind, took a long breath, stood up, knelt down to Zhang Sanfeng suddenly, and said: "The family is unlucky, there is a hostile person who wants to put my Du family to death, and I want the two Taoist priests to help. There will be many thanks in the future.”

Zhang Sanfeng was some distance away from him, but his lightness kung fu was extremely fast, and he stopped Du Chengfeng in one go.

Said: "There is no need for this great gift, you just need to tell the ins and outs of this matter to us, the master and the apprentice, and the two of us will judge whether it is right or wrong."

"Okay." Zhang Sanfeng did not agree to him immediately, and he was not disappointed, but his confidence increased a lot.

As long as I tell the ins and outs of the matter, the master and apprentice in front of me will definitely help the Du family.

Du Chengfeng took a deep breath, and said: "My Du family has been loyal and good for generations. My ancestors followed the emperor to open up territories and made great contributions. However, the family is unfortunate. Until now, the family fortune has fallen and is no longer what it used to be."

When Gongsun Xin heard that Du Chengfeng's family was an official, he immediately listened attentively.

Although they have only been here for three days, none of the bandits who have been mopped up can tell what era it is, and none of them can tell what kind of territory this is. Feel very puzzled.

At this moment, it seems that I can finally know some information about the court.

"I'm not talented. The official worships the governor of the state capital, and now I'm at home." Du Chengfeng said this, revealing incomparable pride, but soon his expression dimmed.

Gongsun Xin didn't expect this middle-aged man to have been a governor, and this made him even more puzzled.

Du Chengfeng is now middle-aged and at the peak of his life, why is he so idle at home?
Immediately, Du Chengfeng solved Gongsun Xin's doubts, and saw him saying: "In the current imperial court, the new emperor is only seven years old and has no power to govern. Eunuchs are in power, treacherous ministers are in power, the emperor has no real power, and the people are miserable. .”

"The eight prefectures are under the jurisdiction of eight princes. They have been disobedient to the imperial court for a long time, and now they are like fish in water, birds flying in the mountains and forests. They don't care whether the imperial court exists in name or not, they only care about their own rights and territories." Du Chengfeng gritted his teeth when he said this .

He continued: "I am the governor of this state. Above me, there is a state shepherd, Zhao Qianlong, who is one level more powerful than me. I have some gaps with that state shepherd. Because I don't want to get along with him, I sue the prince. The prince is right. He has much favor and trust, and because of my many political achievements over the years, he thought of my merits, dismissed me from office, and allowed me to return to my hometown."

"Zhao Qianlong is narrow-minded and sinister. He often puts people to death to avoid future troubles. He sent several swordsmen raised in the mansion to chase and kill me. My eldest son fought hard the day before yesterday and died with a thief. Let them throw a mouse trap and threaten to come back in a few days."

When Du Chengfeng said this, he was heartbroken.

Gongsun Xin said inwardly that it was terrible, because he was a beginner in martial arts three days ago, he was happy to see Lie Xin, he stopped and started, and practiced for three consecutive days before he came to Du's mansion.

If he had come three days ago, he might have saved Du Chengfeng's life. He was a little ashamed, but instantly relieved, this is life. .

Gongsun thought confidently, but he showed no expression on the surface.

"I didn't expect Master Du's experience to be quite twists and turns. My apprentice has practiced some martial arts, so I will bother you for a while longer. After killing those villains, it will not be too late to leave." Zhang Sanfeng said with some regret: " As for Young Master Ling, I would like to ask Donor Du to express my condolences, as a dead person cannot be resurrected."

"The Taoist leader is willing to stay and help, how can it be called disturbing, I really don't dare to do it, I don't dare to do it, Du Mou thanked the two Taoist priests here first." Du Chengfeng felt a little happy in his heart, feeling a little bit at ease.

Over the years, the family has also cultivated some swordsmen and rangers, but none of them are the opponents of those swordsmen. At this moment, Zhang Sanfeng offered to help, so he is naturally grateful.

After all, there is still a wife and a pair of children at home.

"Then we, master and apprentice, will not bother you for now." Zhang Sanfeng said before taking his leave and resting.

"Xiao Qi, hurry up and prepare a guest room for the two Taoist priests, and take the two Taoist priests to rest." Du Chengfeng hurriedly shouted to a servant.

"Thank you, Donor Du." Zhang Sanfeng said politely.

"We still have to rely on the Taoist priest for this matter." Du Chengfeng said solemnly.

At this moment, a servant hurried in, and Zhang Sanfeng and Gongsun Xin who were about to leave stopped in their tracks.

Not sure what happened.

The servant came to Du Chengfeng's side and whispered, "Mr. Feng who came yesterday brought dozens of soldiers and is waiting outside the door."

"Go and invite him in, and take his subordinates to the side courtyard." Du Chengfeng ordered.

Although the servant's voice was low, Gongsun Xin, who had practiced martial arts, could hear it clearly, and Zhang Sanfeng could hear it clearly too.

"Since it's not those evil thieves, my master and apprentice left first." Zhang Sanfeng said.

"I also ask the Taoist priest to rest well. When the evil guest comes, I will let the servants inform the two Taoist priests." Du Chengfeng saluted and said.

Zhang Sanfeng returned a salute, and Gongsun Xin left with Xiao Qi.

After entering the guest room, Xiao Qi left, leaving only the two of them.

Zhang Sanfeng said: "Disciple, what do you think of this matter? Do you think Du Chengfeng's words are credible?"

"It should be true after all." Gongsun Xin thought for a while and said.

"Well, I have seen countless people in my life, and this Lord Du is a good person." Zhang Sanfeng said.

Gongsun Xin was a little stunned. He didn't expect the old man to start using his facial recognition skills again. Gongsun Xin didn't refute, and he also felt that Du Chengfeng had no problem.

Gongsun Xin is no longer the kind of person who will easily believe in just a few words, but his seasoned art of reading people is still very reliable.
