Chapter 12 The twelfth round of sympathy

Meng Yuanchao was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "Why?" Yu Chijiong said: "Have you ever heard of the Fusang School?" Meng Yuanchao said: "I heard that it is a sword sect established overseas by the Tang Dynasty martial arts master Qiubeard, and the head of this sect, Mou Zongtao, has come to the Central Plains." Yu Chijiong nodded and said: "You are roughly correct, but before the Fusang Sect, there was no headmaster. After Mou Zongtao arrived in the Central Plains, Fang Shigong, a member of the Fusang Sect in the Central Plains, recommended him as the head of the Sect. The leader, inside and outside the sect, regards him as the head of the Fusang Sect, and he also regards himself as the head. But in fact, his position as the head is still not determined, that is to say, he has not yet There was no official support ceremony, and it was not recognized by the martial arts. Therefore, Mou Zongtao decided to establish a sect in the Central Plains, and on the day of Chongjiu, on Mount Tai, invite fellow martial artists to watch the ceremony."

Meng Yuanchao suddenly realized, and said, "Is Daxia Jin also going to Mount Tai to observe the ceremony?" Yu Chijiong said: "That's right. Not only Jin Zhuliu will go to Mount Tai to watch the ceremony, but all the people you are looking for will probably go. So I said, you don't have to go to Jin Zhuliu's house, you might as well go to Mount Tai and go Meet them." Meng Yuanchao was overjoyed, and thought to himself: "If this is the case, that would be the best." He said: "However, I have never met Mou Zongtao, and I have not received his invitation."

Yu Chijiong laughed loudly, and said: "You don't have to worry about this level, this Miss Lin is a disciple of the Fusang Sect, and she is also Mou Zongtao's cousin!" After finishing speaking, he turned around and said to Lin Wushuang: " You said just now that you were going to another place, so you must have gone to Mount Tai to participate in your faction’s reconstruction ceremony in the Central Plains, right?” Lin Wushuang didn't want to talk about her faction in front of Meng Yuanchao, but when Yu Chijiong asked, it was inconvenient for her to hide it, so she could only say, "That's right, my niece has this plan."

Yu Chijiong smiled and said: "Okay, then you will be traveling together. Mou Zongtao is your cousin, and you can be regarded as the master. Brother Meng is going with you, so do you still need an invitation?" It is obvious that Yu Chijiong's intentions are to match the two of them.His intentions are exactly the same as those of Jin Zhuliu and his wife, but Jin Zhuliu's wife, Shi Hongying, is a person who has been in love and understands girls' thoughts, so although she has such intentions, she is asking Lin Wushuang to give her a hand. When Meng Yuanchao reported the news, he didn't say anything explicitly, but spoke very implicitly, unlike Yu Chijiong who was so outspoken.

After all, Lin Wushuang had the reserve of a young girl, after hearing Yu Chijiong's words, she suddenly remembered those words of Shi Hongying; Meng Yuanchao was originally a man with a bold personality, but his boldness was different from Yu Chijiong's. He was bold and bold, but also had a steady side.It's fine for Yu Chijiong not to tell the truth, but once he did, he would inevitably feel a little embarrassed. Meng Yuanchao thought to himself: "Men and women in the Jianghu are not like ordinary people who pay attention to avoiding suspicion, but this Miss Lin and I have just met, and it is always inconvenient to travel long distances together. Even if I am open-minded, I am afraid that she will also be afraid of rumors."

Yu Chijiong said: "Hey, why are you two not talking?" Meng Yuanchao said, "I think, I think—" Yu Chijiong frowned and said, "What do you think?" Meng Yuanchao said: "I think, I'd better visit Jin Daxia first. He asked Miss Lin to come to me. Would it be rude if I didn't go to thank him? Since Jin Daxia is also going to Mount Tai to watch the ceremony, I can just go with him." Yu Chijiong said: "I'm afraid that when you arrive at his house, he has already left." Meng Yuanchao said: "Then I'll go to Mount Tai alone, I know the way anyway."

Yu Chijiong frowned, and said: "Brother Meng, I never thought that you are such a mother-in-law! Well, since you want to do this, I have no choice but to let you. However, I am afraid that you will not be able to catch up with the Taishan meeting if you make such a turn." Woolen cloth!" He frowned, and suddenly got an idea, slapped his thigh, and said: "Yes, yes!" Lin Wushuang heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "What's there?" Yu Chijiong said: "Brother Meng, I Although this horse is not a thousand-mile horse, it is still possible to run three to five hundred miles a day. If you don’t mind it, I will give you this horse!”

Meng Yuanchao was taken aback, and said, "How dare I accept such a generous gift?" Yu Chijiong said angrily: "What is a horse, no matter how precious something is, it is not more valuable than the friendship of a good friend? If you don't accept it, you will look down on me!" Meng Yuanchao hurriedly said: "It's not my mother-in-law, it's just that I want your horse, but what do you use instead?" Yu Chijiong said: "You don't have to worry about me, do you know that I was born as a horse thief? My best skill is stealing other people's good horses!"

Meng Yuanchao laughed when he told him, and said, "Okay, then I won't be polite." Yu Chijiong was very happy now, he laughed and said: "Actually, I don't need to bother to steal it. I can take a ready-made horse with me. He didn't have time to ride Shi Chaoji's yellow pussy horse just now, and it was still in the inn. In the stables. Although it is not as good as the red-maned horse I gave you, according to my opinion, the difference is not too far. You want mine, I want his, haha, this is just the best." Meng Yuanchao said, "Thank you, Brother Yuchi, then I will take my leave."

Yu Chijiong suddenly seemed to think of something, and said, "Brother Meng, there is one thing I forgot to tell you. Do you have a good friend nicknamed the Thief Happy Zhang?" Meng Yuanchao said: "That's right, where did the eldest brother know him?" Yu Chijiong mentioned "Happy Zhang", which aroused Meng Yuanchao's thoughts. Yu Chijiong said: "I met him in Beijing, he is a nice guy, he is very loyal, we even worked together on a case." Lin Wushuang smiled and said, "Uncle Yuchi, when did you change your career and become a thief? What did you steal?"

Yu Chijiong smiled and said: "I can't tell you now. But I can tell Brother Meng that Happy Zhang respects you very much. He said that you have helped him a lot, and he always wants to repay him. I just started from his mouth. know who you are." Meng Yuanchao said indifferently: "It's hard for him to always remember some small things." In fact, it was not a small matter. over him. Yu Chijiong said: "I met him in Beijing two months ago. He said he would rush back to Suzhou to see you. I don't know he is still in Suzhou now." Meng Yuanchao said: "I have already met him, but he went to Jizhou later, and he has not come back yet." Yu Chijiong said: "Will he come back to Suzhou in the short term?" Meng Yuanchao said: "I'm afraid not. He is a wild horse. If there is nothing worthy of his concern, he will not stay in one place for long." You must know that he asked Happy Zhang to bring a letter to Yang Mu and to inquire about Yun Ziluo's news, now that Yun Ziluo has come in person, there is no need for Happy Zhang to come back to report to him.Thinking of this, Meng Yuanchao couldn't help but feel sad again. Yu Chijiong sighed: "This is a memorable friend, but unfortunately he is no longer in Suzhou. Otherwise, this place is not far from Suzhou, so I want to find him." Seeing that Meng Yuanchao seemed to be despondent, he thought that Meng Yuanchao was hurrying on his way, and said, "If you see Happy Zhang, please give my regards. It's almost dawn, and I should go back to lead Shi Chaoji's horse. Okay, let's do that Let's break up." After Meng Yuanchao got on his red-maned horse and walked away, Yu Chijiong was thoughtful, and suddenly said to Lin Wushuang with a half-smile, "Wushuang, I want to ask you something!" Seeing Yu Chijiong's expression changed, Lin Wushuang was startled, and said, "Uncle, what do you want to ask? I won't allow you to make fun of me." Yu Chijiong said: "Hey, what do you think I'm asking you, of course what I'm talking about is serious!" Lin Wushuang said: "Okay, then please tell me!" Yu Chijiong said: "What do you think of Mou Zongtao?" This question was beyond Lin Wushuang's expectation, she thought Yu Chijiong was going to ask her if she liked Meng Yuanchao. Yu Chijiong continued: "You and Mou Zongtao are childhood friends, so you must know him better than me." Lin Wushuang thought of what Shi Hongying had said to her, felt a bit confused, and said for a while, "I only knew Cousin Mou when I was a child. How is he now? How can I know? To be honest, he I can't answer what kind of person I was before, when I broke up with him, I wasn't even ten years old!" Yu Chijiong sighed: "You're right, it's hard to paint a tiger's skin, you know the face but you don't know the heart!" Lin Wushuang was taken aback and said, "Uncle Yuchi, what do you mean by that?" Yu Chijiong said: "After you arrived in the Central Plains, you haven't seen Mou Zongtao, but I have seen him. Not only have I met him, but I have also shared a tribulation with him. I thought he was a hero, but now I have to. A little suspicious." Lin Wushuang was taken aback, and quickly asked, "What do you suspect, uncle?" Yu Chijiong said slowly: "I suspect that he is secretly colluding with the Qing court!" Lin Wushuang couldn't believe his ears, and it took him a while to calm down and say, "Uncle, what do you see so strangely?" Yu Chijiong said: "I haven't got the exact certificate yet, but it's not groundless. Let me tell you one thing. This thing starts with the horse I gave Meng Yuanchao just now." Lin Wushuang asked in surprise, "What is the relationship between Cousin Mou's matter and this horse?" Yu Chijiong said: "Guess what is the origin of that red-maned horse? It turned out to be the mount of the commander of the Imperial Forest Army!" Lin Wushuang was surprised and said: "You stole the mount of the commander of the Imperial Forest Army?" Then he suddenly realized: "No wonder Uncle Yuchi is unwilling to tell the truth in front of Meng Yuanchao. I am afraid that if he tells the truth, Meng Yuanchao will not want to take it." Yu Chijiong said: "I didn't do it alone. The person who joined me in this case is the thief I just mentioned, Happy Zhang." Lin Wushuang said: "I also heard Brother Jin say about Happy Zhang, and I heard that he is the number one kong master in the world today. A few decades ago, there was a well-known old thief Ji Xiaofeng, and Happy Zhang Nai He is Ji Xiaofeng's reincarnated disciple. Now his ability is as high as that of his ancestor!" Yu Chijiong said: "The commander of the Imperial Forest Army, Bei Gongwang, is a big celebrity in front of the old emperor. He is more favored than the chief executive Sa Fuding. I don't know what he did last year. The old emperor rewarded him with a pair of jade lions. , Needless to say, this pair of jade lions is a priceless treasure." Lin Wushuang said: "Great and happy Zhang just wants to steal this pair of jade lions?" Yu Chijiong nodded and said, "That's right, I want to steal the horse, and he wants to steal the treasure, so we agreed to do it together." "We split up that night. I went to the stables to steal the horses, and he went into the inner house to steal the treasure. Even if we find out, it will be difficult for the other party to take care of it." "I just succeeded, when I suddenly heard someone say: 'You don't need a bull's knife to cut chickens, I'll take this little thief for your lord!' The voice came from the inner courtyard, it turned out that Happy Zhang had already been discovered by them." "Happy Zhang ran out, chasing a man behind him, and this man stabbed him with a swishing sword, using exactly the sword technique of your Fusang sect!" Lin Wushuang was taken aback, and said, "It's from the Fusang sect, did you read it right?" Yu Chijiong was a little unhappy, and said: "How could I be wrong? Don't forget that I have fought against Zong Shenlong, and I have also seen Mou Zongtao's swordsmanship. The swordsmanship of your Fusang School is comparable to that of all schools and schools in the Central Plains. It's different, I'll know it when I see it!" Lin Wushuang asked, "What happened next?" Yu Chijiong smiled and said: "Of course I escaped danger. Otherwise, how could I talk to you here? How could Happy Zhang You go to Suzhou to see Meng Yuanchao?" Lin Wushuang said, "I'm asking about that person." Yu Chijiong laughed loudly and said: "That man, he suffered a little bit from me. I knocked him off the roof with a split palm, but unfortunately Bei Gongwang chased him out, and I had to get on the horse with Happy Zhang And run away, too late to take his life." Lin Wushuang said: "It's strange, how could there be a person who can teach Fusang School of swordsmanship to appear in the residence of the commander of the Imperial Forest Army?" Then he said: "But listen to what you said. This person's ability is ordinary, it must not be' He is a character among the Fusang Seven Sons." The "Fusang Seven Sons" are seven people headed by Zong Shenlong, who returned from overseas together five years ago.Later, the "Seven Sons of Fusang" were divided into two factions, three of whom followed Mou Zongtao as the leader, and the other three still followed Zong Shenlong. Yu Chijiong said: "The identity of this person has also been clarified." Lin Wushuang quickly asked, "Who is it?" Yu Chijiong said: "It's your cousin Mou Zongtao's emissary!" Lin Wushuang was shocked and said, "How do you know?" Yu Chijiong said: "When Happy Zhang steals the treasure, I just heard them talking in the secret room." Lin Wushuang said: "As the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, Bei Gongwang must be extremely skilled in martial arts. How could he not notice that someone was eavesdropping?" Yu Chijiong said: "Yes, so Happy Zhang only heard two words from him." Lin Wushuang said: "How about those two sentences?" Yu Chijiong said: "These two sentences were said by Beigong Wang with a smile. He said: Mr. Mou founded a sect in the Central Plains? Haha, great!" Lin Wushuang asked, "Is it just these two sentences?" Yu Chijiong said: "Aren't these two sentences enough? From this sentence, many things can already be judged." Lin Wushuang said: "I would like to listen to my uncle's opinion." Yu Chijiong said: "First, why did Mou Zongtao send an envoy to tell him? Of course, he wanted to gain his support. Second, this proves that they must have had contacts, otherwise how dare Mou Zongtao send an envoy? Third , Third..." He tried to think of three reasons, but he couldn't think of one. Lin Wushuang smiled and said, "I don't know that person didn't go there by himself, and he wasn't sent by my cousin. I heard that my cousin has taken in a lot of new students in recent years, so it's hard to guarantee that there are good and bad students." Yu Chijiong said: "No, if it's as you said, why did Bei Gongwang say it's great? This clearly agrees with your cousin's establishment of a sect! The imperial court is most jealous of martial arts figures. As the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, he is right. Your cousin expressed his appreciation, even if that person is not the envoy sent by your cousin, no matter what, it is suspicious!" Lin Wushuang pondered for a while, then said: "Although the matter is suspicious, I still can't believe it." Yu Chijiong said: "What did you see so strangely?" Lin Wushuang said: "I'm young and have little knowledge. I don't have great opinions. However, I can find a counter-evidence." Yu Chijiong said, "What counterargument?" Lin Wushuang said: "Cousin Mou and Zong Shenlong are like fire and water, they cannot be compatible. As far as I know, Zong Shenlong has surrendered to the imperial court and is looking for revenge for his cousin! How can my cousin follow him, and also follow him? To submit to the imperial court? Aren't you afraid that Zong Shenlong will harm him?" Yu Chijiong said: "Oh, have you seen Zong Shenlong recently?" Lin Wushuang said: "Exactly." Now he will tell Yu Chijiong about the confrontation between the Yun family and Zong Shenlong. Yu Chijiong said: "Ah, Zong Shenlong really recovered his martial arts!" Lin Wushuang was baffled by this sudden sentence. Yu Chijiong went on to say: "Mou Zongtao and Zong Shenlong have a grudge. I already knew this. I said that I have shared hardships with your cousin, and that is exactly what happened. Four years ago, I was the leader of the rebel army in Daliang Mountain. Zhu Shangfu went to Qinghai to contact an earth king, and Zong Shenlong happened to be there as the personal representative of the chief executive, Sa Fuding. As a result, a battle was introduced. At a critical moment, Mou Zongtao suddenly came and drew his sword to help. It broke Zong Shenlong's lute bone. Later, I heard that Zong Shenlong got the millennium continuum hidden in Ouchi, so he was saved from being disabled." Lin Wushuang said: "Well, since that's the case, why do you still conclude that my cousin is in collusion with the court?" Yu Chijiong said: "You only know one thing, but not the other. Yes, Zong Shenlong is Sa Fuding's lackey, but Sa Fuding is at odds with Beigong, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army. Behind their backs They are all supported by powerful princes, and they are secretly fighting for power. Safding once attacked them and lost the throne of the chief of the inner court, and then he was reinstated with great difficulty. But until now, his power is still not as good as that of Beigong see." Lin Wushuang said: "So what?" Yu Chijiong said: "Mou Zongtao's envoy was sent to Beigongwang. He happens to rely on Beigongwang's power. Not only does he not have to fear Zongshenlong's revenge, he can even get rid of Zongshenlong!" Lin Wushuang frowned slightly, and said, "Uncle Yuchi, I don't think Cousin Mou is like this, is he? After all, he is the one who helped you chivalrously! And he and brother Zhuliu are also friends." Yu Chijiong said: "I hope he won't be like this. But a person can change, how can he know that he is still Mou Zongtao four years ago? Since I found his emissary in the government office commanded by the Imperial Forest Army, how can I have no doubts?" , not to be held accountable?" "A person can change", Lin Wushuang heard this sentence, and unconsciously aroused something in his mind, his heart was at a loss, and he couldn't answer. Seeing her pale face, Yu Chijiong couldn't help sighing secretly: "This little girl still hasn't forgotten her cousin!" In order to comfort Lin Wushuang, he said with a sigh of relief: "So I said that I haven't found any conclusive evidence, but I hope the matter is over. One day when the truth comes out, it will prove that your cousin is innocent. But if it is true, I also hope that you will not be sad, just pretend that you don't have this cousin." Lin Wushuang said: "If it's true, he's not worth my sadness." Hearing what she said resolutely, Yu Chijiong let go of the stone in his heart, and said with a smile: "Yes, this is my good niece. That's right, you are going to Mount Tai to attend the ceremony of establishing a sect, just take this opportunity, Help me find out. Would you like to?" Lin Wushuang nodded, and said: "I also want to get the truth out, and I will definitely not favoritism. But, don't you want to go too?" Yu Chijiong said: "I will go later. Besides, you are from the same sect, so it will be easier for you to inquire from the same sect than me." Lin Wushuang asked, "Where are you going now? Why are you late?" Yu Chijiong said: "I'm looking for clues, looking for evidence!" Lin Wushuang said, "Can you tell me how to find it?" Yu Chijiong said: "The clue is on Shi Chaoji. He is the deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army. He must know about this matter. I suspect that he may have something to do with Mou Zongtao when he left Beijing this time. I took his mount. I must find him!" After saying that, he broke up with Lin Wushuang and rushed back to the inn to steal the horse. The truth about Mou Zongtao's incident is still unknown, but Yu Chijiong's guess about Shi Chaoji was completely wrong.It turned out that although Shi Chaoji was Bei Gongwang's deputy, he was a member of Safding.It was Safuding who did his best secretly for him, so he was placed in the Yulin Army as a pawn to monitor Bei Gongwang.It's not that Bei Gongwang doesn't know, but due to the forces behind Safding, he can't move his people for the time being.Moreover, he also has "pawns" placed beside Safding. Although the position is not that high, there are many people.This kind of intrigue in the officialdom is actually not uncommon.But Yu Chijiong is a reckless hero, a straightforward guy, such a thing is hard to imagine for him. Meng Yuanchao straddled the famous horse given by Captain Chi Jiong, let the horse gallop, and it was as fast as the wind, and arrived in Dongping County, Shandong Province on the third day. Jin Zhuliu lived on a mountain next to Dongping Lake. His house was built on the hill according to the terrain, with the mountain on its back and the lake facing.Meng Yuanchao came to the foot of the mountain, but he saw undulating mountains, clear lake water, willow trees lined up by the lake, and beautiful grass on the hills.Meng Yuanchao came to this beautiful place from the wasteland in Huaibei, feeling refreshed, and thought to himself: "Jin Zhuliu and Shi Hongying are a couple that everyone admires in the martial arts. They live in this beautiful place. The heaven and the blessed land can really be said to be the companions of the gods!" Suddenly remembering the scene of love, I can't help but have mixed feelings. In order to show his respect for Jin Zhuliu, Meng Yuanchao dared not ride a horse, but led his mount up the mountain on foot. The Jin family was built against the mountain, and there is a platform in front of the door, protruding from the shade of trees.When Meng Yuanchao went up to the middle of the mountain, he heard the voices of people, and when he looked up, he saw a person who had just stepped onto the platform.The gate opened, and two people from the Jin family came out; they clasped their fists and saluted each other.Afterwards, the man followed them in.The distance was quite far, and Meng Yuanchao couldn't hear what they said, but judging from the situation, that person must be the same as him, no doubt a guest who came to visit Jin Zhuliu. Meng Yuanchao thought to himself: "Hero Jin has a lot to cover, but the person who is worthy of being his guest must not be an ordinary person, but I don't know who it is?" On the tree, just about to ask for an audience by name, the people in the house heard the sound of horse neighing, and they came out to welcome the guests. The man who came out to greet him was a thick black man of medium build, with piercing eyes, and he could be seen to be an extraordinary master of martial arts. When this man saw Meng Yuanchao and his red-maned horse, he showed a slightly surprised expression on his face, clasped his fists and said, "Your Excellency—" "I'm Meng Yuanchao from Jinchuan, who came here specially to visit Jin Daxia." Meng Yuanchao returned the courtesy. The man seemed taken aback, then he laughed and said, "So it's Brother Meng, I've admired you for a long time! I'm Li Dun from the Liuhe Gang. When the Golden Warrior went out the day before yesterday, he gave me a special order to prepare to meet Brother Meng." , I didn’t expect Brother Meng to arrive today, so I’m really disappointed.” Jin Zhuliu's wife, Shi Hongying, is the head of the Liuhe Gang, and Li Dun is the deputy head of the gang after Shi Hongying. He has a very good personal relationship with Jin Zhuliu and his wife, and often lives in Jin's house. Meng Yuanchao said: "It turned out to be Master Li Xiang. It's a pleasure to meet you." After meeting Li Dun again, he said, "So I'm not lucky enough to come here." Li Dun said: "Although Jin Daxia is not at home, our leader has not gone out. Since Brother Meng is here, how about meeting our leader?" Meng Yuanchao said: "Madam Su Yangjin is a hero among women, so Meng should pay homage to her." Li Dun led the way in front, passed through two horizontal doors, and brought Meng Yuanchao to a very elegantly furnished small living room in the inner courtyard. Meng Yuanchao handed the prepared greeting card to Li Dun, and Li Dun said: "The boss just has a visitor, please sit down for a while, Brother Meng." Meng Yuanchao said: "You're welcome, I don't have any important matters." But he was thinking in his heart: "This guest must not want to meet outsiders, so Li Dun took me to the small living room inside to avoid talking to him." meet." Li Dun seemed to know what he was thinking, and said: "This guest is from afar, and we don't know each other. He will probably leave soon." After that, he called an old servant and handed over Meng Yuanchao's greeting card. Give it to him and tell him to go in and report. The meaning of Li Dun's words was to imply to Meng Yuanchao that because they were not familiar with this guest, and Meng Yuanchao was an "imperial criminal", it was inconvenient for him to meet with Meng Yuanchao.Meng Yuanchao thought to himself: "I heard that Li Dun is a mature and prudent man, and he really deserves his reputation. But why didn't he tell me the name of this guest?" There are many taboos in the rivers and lakes, and it is inconvenient for guests to inquire about things that the host is unwilling to say.But when Li Dun handed Meng Yuanchao's letter of greeting to the old servant, Meng Yuanchao paid attention secretly, but saw that Li Dun seemed to wink at the old servant, and the old servant nodded and said, "Yes. As soon as the guests leave, I will report immediately." The old servant retreated into the inner hall, and Meng Yuanchao suddenly heard someone say: "Who is this guest? Our deputy gang leader personally received him, so he must be a distinguished guest too? Hehe, no wonder I heard magpies screaming all morning. It's such a good day, the two honored guests are here today." Judging from this person's tone, it seems that he is also a servant. The old servant whispered: "Shhh, shut up! Guess who? This guest is Meng Yuanchao!" He whispered in the ear of his companion, but Meng Yuanchao had practiced "listening to the wind and distinguishing instruments", and his hearing was better than that of others. Ordinary people are much more sensitive, but they can hear every word. Meng Yuanchao couldn't help being very surprised, thinking: "Do we have to beware of spies in Daxia Jin's house? Why are they afraid that my name will be heard? Could it be that they are avoiding that guest?" Li Dun chatted with Meng Yuanchao and asked him about the situation of the rebel army in Xiaojinchuan. After about half a stick of incense, the old servant came out and said, "Master Li, the leader of the gang invites you in." But Meng Yuanchao was not invited. Meng Yuanchao felt a little uncomfortable, and thought to himself: "I wonder if that guest has left? Mrs. Su Wenjin is a daughter-in-law's husband, and both husband and wife are extremely hospitable. Why does she want to see Li Dun first before she is willing to see me?" ?” Li Dun also seemed a little embarrassed, and said: "Brother Meng, please sit down for a while." Then he waved to the old servant and said: "Hurry up and ask Lord Qin Xiang to come out to accompany my guests." Meng Yuanchao said: "You are welcome. We are all of the same kind, so there is no need to pay attention to worldly etiquette." Li Dun said with a smile: "It's good for you to get acquainted with my elder brother Qin." While speaking, the person surnamed Qin had arrived.It turned out to be Qin Chong, another deputy leader of the Liuhe Gang who took the third position. Meng Yuanchao had known for a long time that Qin Chong's nickname was "Thunderbolt", and he was an outspoken person.But after they shared their names, Qin Chong also had a strange look on his face, and he seemed a little scrupulous about speaking. Meng Yuanchao wondered secretly, and thought to himself: "A person with his personality must like to be praised." So he used the heroic deeds he had heard about Qin Chong as a topic, and led him to talk. Qin Chong was really very happy, and laughed. Said: "Brother, don't put gold on my face. I have already known about you protecting the teacher's door and bravely fighting five masters. You are the young hero who is really worthy of admiration. " The two chatted happily, and Qin Chong asked suddenly: "Brother Meng, you make friends with heroes in the world, do you know that there is a famous martial artist Yang Mu in Jizhou?" Meng Yuanchao was taken aback for a moment, and said, "I've been famous for a long time, but I haven't seen him before." Qin Chong's question was beyond his expectation, "Why did he suddenly mention Yang Mu to me? Could it be that he knew about me and Yun?" The secret between Ziluo?" Meng Yuanchao thought to himself.Then he secretly laughed at his suspicion, "Teng Xiao and I don't even know that we are so close, how can an outsider who has nothing to do with him know?" Qin Chong said: "A month ago, Yang Mu suddenly fell ill and died, you must have known about it?" Meng Yuanchao was taken aback, and cried out aloud: "What, Yang Mu is already dead?" One must know that Meng Yuanchao was an "imperial prisoner", and he kept his whereabouts secret all the way, so he would not easily come into contact with people in the world.Therefore, although this news caused a sensation in the world, it was the first time Meng Yuanchao heard it. Qin Chong said: "Oh, so you don't know yet. I heard that Yang Mu's wife is a peerless beauty. I wonder if it's true or not?" Meng Yuanchao was even more surprised, and said, "Brother Qin, why do you want to know this?" Qin Chong said with a smile: "My brother, don't laugh at me for being too boring. I didn't want to inquire about someone's boudoir, but I heard that Yang Mu was killed by his wife!" Meng Yuanchao was surprised and angry at the same time, and said loudly: "This must be a rumor made by shameless people!" Qin Chong glanced at Meng Yuanchao and said, "How do you know this is a rumor?" Under Meng Yuanchao's anger, he almost wanted to tell the story of his acquaintance with Yun Ziluo since he was a child, but then he thought: "Why should I tell an outsider who has nothing to do with it?" So he said lightly: "I also heard that Mrs. Yang is a A woman who is knowledgeable in books and etiquette, has talent and virtue, she will never murder her husband!" Qin Chong laughed, and said, "I don't know if Mrs. Yang is virtuous or not. But this matter, brother, you are right." Meng Yuanchao said: "Then who is the real culprit, has the truth been revealed?" Qin Chong smiled and said, "There is no murderer at all!" Meng Yuanchao couldn't help being startled again, and said, "Then Yang Mu really died of illness?" Only then did Qin Chong tell him the truth, and said, "Yang Mu didn't die, he faked his death, and now he's alive again." Meng Yuanchao was very surprised, and said: "What's going on, why did he want to fake death?" Qin Chong said: "Yes, this is the first time I've heard of such a strange thing. But although I don't know the reason behind it, I presume it has something to do with his wife?" Hearing this, Meng Yuanchao felt very uncomfortable in his belly, and he couldn't help saying coldly: "Master Qin Xiang, you have never met that Mrs. Yang, so where did you say this?" In his ears, he also felt a little out of control. Qin Chong smiled and said, "I'm just speculating. As the saying goes, a beauty is a disaster, but it can't be taken as a lie. Brother Meng, you and I hit it off right away. There is one sentence that I don't know if I should talk to you or not." Say?"
