Chapter 33 Chapter Thirty-Third: Investigate the Past, Be Suspicious, Desire to Test the Traitor

Jiang Haitian was afraid that Shangfu Zhu was overwhelmed, and said: "Senior Zhu, please go to the Yaowang Temple to rest. I was going to visit you, but I didn't know where the fairy house was. I didn't get what I wanted. It's rare to meet here today, please Senior Zhu stayed for two more days so that I would have the opportunity to ask for advice." Zhu Shangfu said: "No, I'm going back now. Thank you, Hero Jiang, for your kindness." Gu Zhonglian said: "Senior Zhu thinks we don't entertain well? Although we don't have enough space, we don't care about having one more senior. Why don't you tell your subordinates to go back first, and you stay to be our couple's guests?" Gu Zhonglian She spoke very well. She invited Zhu Shangfu to be the guest of their husband and wife instead of the guest of the conference. What's wrong.In fact, Yan Zhongren still can't be completely at ease with Zhu Shangfu.

Zhu Shangfu said: "You are welcome, Lady Gu. I'd better go back. Firstly, you just encountered a disaster, so I don't want to cause you any trouble; secondly, I do have some urgent matters to go back. But I am in Before I leave, I want to say a few words to Jiang Daxia." Gu Zhonglian didn't understand what he said, so she didn't want to keep him anymore, and immediately said: "Okay, if that's the case, Brother Hai, you can give Senior Zhu a ride." Jiang Haitian and Zhu Shangfu left together and went to a place where there was no one else. Zhu Shangfu said: "Hero Jiang, I want to apologize to you first. Your registered apprentice Li Guangxia is with me. I should have released him long ago. .”

Jiang Haitian said: "It is also his blessing that this child has the opportunity to get close to the seniors. Shangguantai has already told me that you think highly of this child and treat him like a nephew. I am also very grateful. As entrusted by his father, I am duty-bound to take care of him, so I have to ask the old man to let me take it back. If the old man doesn't think I'm too high-ranking, I want this child to worship you as a foster father. In this way, you can Best of both worlds." Zhu Shangfu said: "Okay, this is the best. When I go back this time, it will be a hundred days later, or two months at least, and I can bring this child."

Jiang Haitian said: "If Senior Zhu sees Senior Lingqin Shangguan, please also send my regards." Zhu Shangfu sighed and said: "Shangguantai has been imprisoned by me. To be honest, I want to go back this time just to release him and apologize to him." Zheng plotted, and after recovering from his injuries, he reported to Zhu Shangfu.Zhu Shangfu had Yang Zheng's preconceived words, refused to believe his words, and instead detained him.This fashion is imprisoned in his home. Jiang Haitian was a little worried, and asked, "Senior Zhu, who else is in your family? I'm afraid that Yang Zheng will catch up with you and go to harm them."

Zhu Shangfu said with a smile: "Although Yang Cheng is mad, forgive him for not having the courage to come to my house and make trouble." What is respectful and respectful is why he said it so confidently.Jiang Haitian felt that he underestimated the enemy too much, but the two were friends for the first time after all. Since Zhu Shangfu was so confident, Jiang Haitian couldn't say anything more. After Zhu Shangfu laughed, he sighed again: "I really didn't expect that Yang Zheng would act so mischievously behind my back! I regard good people as bad people, and bad people as good people. I don't distinguish between black and white. I really have no eyes. Hero Jiang, Don't worry, I will definitely find the apprentice you captured by him. I am very ashamed that this disaster happened because of me, and I also ask you to apologize for me before the heroes of the world."

Jiang Haitian said: "No one is at fault, a momentary misunderstanding is nothing, as long as we are walking the same path, we are good friends. Senior Zhu, please forgive me, I want to ask the senior one something. " Zhu Shangfu said: "Please tell me." Jiang Haitian said: "I heard Shangguan Tai said that seniors also intended to fight the Qing Dynasty. I don't know if the seniors came here just to find me? Or do they want to meet the heroes of the world and discuss the plan to fight the Qing Dynasty?" Because Zhu Shangfu has never To show his attitude, Jiang Haitian had to figure it out before he left.

Zhu Shangfu said: "I also know that because of my unknown origin, the heroes will inevitably feel suspicious. I asked Hero Jiang to come out and talk, and I wanted to reveal my heart to Hero Jiang." Jiang Haitian said: "Thank you senior for seeing the letter. The junior is not trying to find out the origin of the senior, if there is something difficult, just don't say it." Zhu Shangfu laughed and said: "The vast rivers and lakes are looking for chivalrous bones. Zhu has lived for decades in vain. Today, I just met a hero I admire. There is nothing more to say. The ancients said: the white head is like It's new, it's the same as before. If Jiang Daxia thinks that Zhu can make friends, how old is Zhu? How about you call me big brother? I don't dare to be the word "senior."

Seeing that Zhu Shangfu was so bold, Jiang Haitian said, "Okay, then please tell me, brother." Zhu Shangfu said with a smile: "Then I will tell the truth. It can be said that I walked the same road as you, or it can be said that it is not the same road." This answer was quite unexpected for Jiang Haitian, he was taken aback for a moment, and asked in surprise, "How do you say that?" Zhu Shangfu said: "I was originally the prince of a small country in the Western Regions. The name of the country was Kucha. It was destroyed by the Qing soldiers. It has been more than a hundred years since the country fell. The ancestor of Shangguantai was a minister of our country. After the country fell, the two families escaped together. As for Yang Cheng, he is a Han. The Manchus are my feud. Of course, I want to fight against the Qing, but my ambition is to restore the country, and your Han people’s righteousness has a different goal. So it is the same road, but it is not the same. Road."

Jiang Haitian initially suspected that he was not a Han, because there are very few Han people with the surname "Zhu". After the assimilation of the Han people, there are still some who still retain their original surnames. The "Zhu" surname is one of them.But although Jiang Haitian had doubts, he still didn't expect that he was the prince of a small country. Jiang Haitian said: "Although our goals are different, we all aim to drive out the Tartars. We can do things independently, but we hope to help each other." Zhu Shangfu said: "Of course. In the future when your rebel army rises, there will be some places where I need to do my best. Brother Jiang only needs to send someone to send a letter, and I will definitely help." I told Jiang Haitian where to get in touch.

Jiang Haitian suddenly remembered something, and said: "At the foot of the Altai Mountains, there is a small country called Masar Country, which is separated from your original territory by a prairie more than a thousand miles away, because it is located at the extreme edge, and there are The mountain barrier was able to prevent the Manchu annexation. I wonder if Brother Zhu knows about this country?" Zhu Shangfu said with a smile: "I was just about to talk to my brother. Not only have I been to Massa'er country, but I also heard my name for the first time in Massa'er country."

Jiang Haitian said happily: "Oh, so you have met the monarch of Masa'er Kingdom?" Jiang Haitian and Tang Nuzhumu had not met for more than ten years. The reason why he asked Zhu Shangfu was to know something about Tang Nuzhu. Mu news. Zhu Shangfu said: "Lingqin is well-known in the Western Regions. He has managed the Masar Kingdom very well. Although the country is small, it has no special paradise. It is because I heard that Tang Nuzhumu is a virtuous king and possesses peerless martial arts. , so I went to visit him." Jiang Haitian said: "Oh, he told you about me?" Zhu Shangfu said: "That's right. I went to visit him, he was very kind, he didn't have the pretensions of a king at all, he looked like a martial artist. I talked about martial arts with him, and when the conversation got interesting, I invited him to a competition. He also agreed. In the end, there was a competition of internal strength and swordsmanship, and there was no winner. This is the first time I have met an evenly matched opponent. I admire him very much. There is an idiom of the Han people: "Heroes in the world, only the emperor and Cao Er!" With the martial arts of the two of us, I am afraid that the major sects in the Central Plains are invincible. Unexpectedly, Tang Nuzhumu said, "Otherwise, otherwise, The world is so big, there are so many great people and different people. I don’t know about others, but my brother-in-law is Han, and he is far better than me!’ It was because I heard him praise Brother Jiang that I wanted to find an opportunity to meet him. Brother Jiang's idea of ​​a competition." Jiang Haitian was very happy when he heard the news about Tang Nuzhumu. After a few words of modesty, he asked again, "What else can my brother-in-law say?" Zhu Shangfu seemed to think of something suddenly, and said: "Your disciple in charge, I heard you call his name just now, is it Ye Lingfeng?" Jiang Haitian said: "Not bad. Ling Feng has not been a beginner for a long time, and his martial arts are still far behind. I hope that brother Zhu will take care of me when I travel in the rivers and lakes in the future." Zhu Shangfu said with a smile: "Of course. But you, the head disciple..." After speaking half a sentence, he suddenly stopped. Jiang Haitian said: "How is it? But what's wrong with him?" Zhu Shangfu said: "No, but I remembered what happened just now. It's a little funny and a little strange." Jiang Haitian was surprised: "What did Ling Feng do?" Zhu Shangfu said: "He is the first person to challenge me today." Jiang Haitian said: "This kid really doesn't know the heights of the heavens and the earth. However, maybe he wanted to protect the teachers at that time, so he was so bold out of a misunderstanding. Brother Zhu, don't be surprised." Zhu Shangfu said: "Of course I don't blame him. I'm not amused because he is overconfident." Jiang Haitian was puzzled and said, "Then what is it for?" Zhu Shangfu smiled and said: "It's not that you called his name just now, I still can't recognize him. His appearance is almost completely different from when he was a child. However, I am an adult, and I believe that the change in appearance in ten years will not be very big. Big, but he didn't recognize me and challenged me, so I found it a little strange and a little funny." Jiang Haitian wondered, "Brother Zhu, have you ever met a young disciple before?" Zhu Shangfu said: "Yes. He is your nephew, right?" Jiang Haitian felt even more strange, because although Zhu Shangfu had met Tang Nuzhumu, Tang Nuzhumu had never met Ye Lingfeng, and it was even impossible for him to know that he had a nephew named Ye Lingfeng.Because Ye Lingfeng was born after Tang Nuzhumu's older brother Ye Chongxiao abdicated and left the country, and Ye Chongxiao and his son had never returned to their home country.Jiang Haitian already knew these facts.Then Tang Nuzhumu obviously didn't tell Shangfu Zhu about his relationship with Ye Lingfeng. Jiang Haitian was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "Brother Zhu, how did you know?" Zhu Shangfu said: "It's like this. When I visited Tang Nuzhumu, I asked him for one thing, and he asked me for one thing. I asked him for something, but he didn't agree; he asked me for something, but I didn't." I did it unintentionally. It's a pity that I never had the opportunity to go to Massa'er country to tell him." Jiang Haitian asked: "He begged you, but he wanted you to inquire about his brother's whereabouts?" Jiang Haitian knew that Tang Nuzhumu's brotherly love was deep, and he always wanted to get his brother back and give way again, so it was easy to guess. Zhu Shangfu said: "That's right. I begged him to help me restore the country. He didn't want to have a conflict with the Qing court's frontier army. He said that the country was small and weak, so he rejected me. Of course, I can't force him. Difficult. He begged me to find out the whereabouts of his brother, and I didn't try my best to find him, but unexpectedly, I met him." Jiang Haitian was full of surprises and asked, "How did you meet?" Zhu Shangfu said: "It's just a coincidence. You have been looking for him for twenty years, and you have nowhere to find him. I found it without any effort. On the way back from Massa'er country, I passed by At the foot of the West Kunlun Mountains, I ran into their father, son, and husband and wife. I saw that this dusty man looked exactly like Tang Nuzhumu, so I stepped forward to block the way and invited him to compete in martial arts." Jiang Haitian said with a smile: "Why don't you explain the whole story, and you want to compete in martial arts first?" Zhu Shangfu said: "Tang Nuzhumu said that the two brothers look similar, but his elder brother has been avoiding him, and he must not admit his identity, so I want to try his martial arts." Jiang Haitian said: "Oh, that's right. Ye Chongxiao's housekeeping skill is Mahayana Prajna Palm. Tang Nuzhumu also told you about his characteristic." Zhu Shangfu said: "Exactly. After I tried it, I deliberately forced him to use his housekeeping skills with fierce martial arts. The Mahayana Prajna Palm specializes in injuring the eight meridians, and it is indeed very powerful. It is a pity that his skills are not pure. But he couldn’t hurt me. I solved his eight moves, and then he laughed, told his origin, and said his name. He had no choice but to admit that he was Ye Chongxiao. "We admired each other's martial arts, so we talked very speculatively. It's just that after he heard me express his brother's desire for him to return to the country, he just sighed and was noncommittal. "I accompanied them on a three-day swim in West Kunlun and picked up some precious medicines. Before leaving, he told me that after he came down from the mountain, he would go overseas. Maybe he would never go back to China again. Back home, there is no need to mention it.” When Ye Lingfeng came to Jiang's family to recognize his relatives, he brought a letter written by his mother Ouyang Wan. This letter was written in a tone of time and signed. The main content of the letter was to tell Jiang Haitian about his going overseas. .But at that time Ye Lingfeng said that the letter was written five years ago, which was inconsistent with what Zhu Shangfu said now. Jiang Haitian thought to himself: "Ye Chongxiao thought he knew his brother was still looking for him, so he decided to escape overseas." He asked immediately, "Do you remember the year you met Ye Chongxiao, is it really ten years ago?" Zhu Shangfu counted and said with a smile: "What I said just now was an approximate number. In fact, it is not only ten years, but eleven years." Jiang Haitian felt a little skeptical, and thought: "Could it be that after he told Father Zhu, he waited another five years before going to sea?" Ye Lingfeng brought a letter to his home last year. Before thinking about it, Zhu Shangfu went on to say: "Is your head disciple twenty-three years old this year? I remember that I met them in August of that year. Because I liked him very much, I asked him about it. Age. Ye Chongxiao told me that he had just turned twelve years old. My memory is probably not wrong." Jiang Haitian thought to himself: "I don't know when that letter was written? But Chong Xiao is a person who says what he says and does what he says. Judging from his temperament, it is unlikely that after he said that to Zhu Shangfu, he will write it again." Delayed for five years before going to sea? But why did Nephew Feng say that his father wrote this letter five years late?" How did Jiang Haitian know that this nephew who "goes to relatives" is a fake. At that time, he thought that the real Ye Lingfeng was dead, and there was no proof of his death, so there were some details that he didn't know. When Jiang Haitian asked, he had no choice but to talk nonsense.However, Jiang Haitian's deduction was not entirely correct. The time of writing this letter was neither ten years ago nor five years ago, but seven years ago.Where did Ye Chongxiao go in the middle three years, I will explain it later. Zhu Shangfu was also a little surprised, and thought: "I met Ye Chongxiao that year, what is the importance of this matter? Why did Jiang Haitian ask so carefully, he must know the exact age?" Jiang Haitian asked again: "You have been traveling together in West Kunlun for three days, is this kid familiar with you?" Zhu Shangfu said with a smile: "Although Lingtu was only twelve years old at the time, he was very smart. Not only did he play happily with me, he even pestered me to teach him martial arts." Jiang Haitian said: "What martial arts did Brother Zhu teach him?" Zhu Shangfu said: "Of course I can't teach much in three days. I only taught him a set of small grappling techniques for close combat, but it is also very complicated. There are twenty-six moves and eighty-one changes. It's hard for this child to really Clever, actually learned it in three days." Zhu Shangfu took a break, then smiled and said: "At that time, I saw that he was so smart, and I joked with him: 'You learn Kungfu so fast, you will be fine when you grow up, and after another ten years , I’m afraid you can challenge me now.” Unexpectedly, today, eleven years later, Lingtu really challenged me. It’s a pity that I didn’t recognize him just now, and he didn’t recognize me either. Isn’t this ridiculous? Ha ha!" Jiang Haitian didn't smile, he began to feel that something was wrong, and he was suspicious.However, he didn't dare to think that this head disciple was actually a fake nephew. Zhu Shangfu thought that Jiang Haitian wanted to blame his apprentice, so he quickly said: "Maybe he really doesn't recognize me; maybe because he challenged you when I came, he regarded me as an enemy in order to protect the teacher. I don't want to bring up the old things again. Anyway, this is just a trivial matter, you can't go back and blame the disciples." Jiang Haitian said: "I won't blame him, but I will ask him to understand." Zhu Shangfu said: "I have to go back in a hurry, I can't catch up with my disciples." When Jiang Haitian looked at the sky, the sun had already set to the west, and Qu Ran was startled, and said, "That's right, Brother Zhu, it's better to go home early and take a look. To avoid any surprises." The two shook hands and said goodbye, and Zhu Shangfu led his subordinates down the mountain to go home.Jiang Haitian was alone, still thinking quietly in the forest. Jiang Haitian thought to himself: "Why has nephew Feng never told me about this?" If it was an ordinary matter, Ye Lingfeng had forgotten it, but there is still something to say, but Zhu Shangfu is not an ordinary person. The meeting between him and Ye Lingfeng's parents was not an ordinary event. Ye Lingfeng never mentioned it, which made Jiang Haitian feel strange. For more than half a year, Jiang Haitian was only with Ye Lingfeng.During that time, they were on their way during the day, and whenever they had free time and at night, Jiang Haitian would teach him martial arts. "Did he forget to mention it because he focused on martial arts and had nothing else to do?" But this idea is also contradictory, because the father Zhu Shangfu Ye Lingfeng met was a man with unparalleled martial arts, and Ye Lingfeng also learned small captures from him. As for the technique, he should have mentioned it when his master taught him martial arts!Otherwise, how can the master teach according to his talents? The more Jiang Haitian thought about it, the more suspicious he became, and he thought: "The matter of Mount Hua is also a mystery. Could it be that Ling Feng's origin is really suspicious?" Jiang Haitian was contemplating himself when he suddenly heard footsteps approaching. Jiang Haitian looked up and saw that Gu Zhonglian had arrived beside him, and said with a smile, "Is Senior Zhu gone? You seem to be thinking about something." ?” It turned out that Gu Zhonglian saw that he had not returned for a long time, and that Zhu Shangfu and his group had left, so she came to look for him. Jiang Haitian said: "It's nothing. Have the heads of the various factions gone to the Yaowang Temple?" Gu Zhonglian said: "It's all been settled. Fortunately, you came in time this time and saved a catastrophe. Although Xuannv Temple was bombed with several houses and many people, it is now being restored. You Are you all right now? Do you want to talk to Ling Feng?" Jiang Haitian said: "I'll look for him later, let's talk about the family life first. The days go by so fast, we haven't seen each other for a year. Do you have time to talk to me more?" When Gu Zhonglian and his wife met again, they were both happy and sad, and said: "I have an appointment with the leaders of the various factions to have a meeting in the evening, and there is still some time before dinner. I was just about to ask you about Huashan, your righteousness Why did Father seek you?" Jiang Haitian's expression was gloomy, as if there was something sad and he didn't want to say it right away, but he said: "Tell me about the family first. Nephew Feng is here, and Fu'er is also here, but why can't Xiong'er be seen alone? It's him Is his illness still not healed or do you want him to stay at home with grandpa?" Jiang Haitian loves and cares for several apprentices in general and is not partial, although he has a lot of worries, he still hasn't forgotten to ask about Yu Wenxiong's illness . Gu Zhonglian sighed: "You have been away from home for a year, and something unfortunate happened at home..." Jiang Haitian was taken aback, and asked again and again: "What misfortune happened? But Xiong'er, he, he..." Gu Zhonglian said: "No, Xiong'er's illness has already been cured, but he was driven away by me!" Jiang Haitian was taken aback and said, "What's wrong with Xiong'er that you want to drive him out of the gate?" Gu Zhonglian told about Yu Wenxiong's suspected murder of Qi Sheng Yin, and Jiang Haitian was even more surprised, saying: "What? Yu Chijiong was arrested by Eagle Claw Sun and sent to the capital, and Qi Sheng Yin also ended up in an unexplained tragic death Is it? I must investigate this matter!" Gu Zhonglian said: "I heard that Yu Chijiong was imprisoned in the sky prison. The officials who presided over the case followed the idea of ​​Chief Ouchi, and wanted to recover from him the 'thieves' robbed over the years. According to the situation, execution will probably not be executed in the short term. Qisheng was seriously injured, but it has not been confirmed that she is dead. At that time, Yue Ting's wife took her to escape, and Yue Ting came to us The family came to report to me. Yue Ting said that Qi Shengyin had only one breath left, and it was difficult to live at nineteen, but after all, he had not died yet. Therefore, whether Qi Shengyin is dead or alive, I am afraid that Yue Ting and his wife will still be found , to know the real news.” Jiang Haitian pondered for a while, then said: "According to all the circumstances you mentioned, it is true that Qi Shengyin was plotted against, but I don't believe that Xiong'er did it!" Gu Zhonglian said: "I can't believe that he did it, but Qi Shengyin insisted on what he said to Yue Ting after he was seriously injured. He has many suspicions. For example, he and Yu Chijiong were originally There is a grudge, and the horse was his fodder that night, these facts are not good for him. Just to be on the safe side, I am also afraid that people will say that I have protected my apprentice, and the reward and punishment will not be known, so I have to drive him out of the gate." Jiang Haitian said: "I understand that you must do this, and I don't blame you. But have you ever suspected that there is someone else who plotted against the cause of prayer?" Gu Zhonglian was stunned for a moment, opened her eyes wide and said, "Who else is there? Besides my mother and daughter, there are two apprentices, Yu Wenxiong and Ye Lingfeng. Fuer has never left me, and she is determined not to murder Prayer for the holy cause. Don’t you still doubt that nephew Feng will succeed?” Jiang Haitian said: "Why can't you be suspicious of him?" Gu Zhonglian said: "He is very kind to Qi Shengyin, and he also took the medicine I prescribed for Qi Shengyin. He has no enmity with Qi Shengyin, why did he harm her for nothing? And the poisoned horse is Yu Wenxiong borrowed it from his hands, and it was the fodder he fed, Yu Wenxiong has already admitted that it has nothing to do with Nephew Feng. Why do you think of being suspicious of Ling Feng?" Jiang Haitian didn't explain the reason for the time being, but said: "Well, since there are still clues that can be traced, let's talk about it after I find out the truth. Yu Chijiong is a good guy who is good enough for friends, and I should save him. Afterwards, I went to the capital in person. Along the way, I wanted to inquire about the whereabouts of Yue Ting and his wife. Yang Zheng took Xuan'er, and he would probably send it to the capital. I went to the capital in person, and I could rescue both of them at the same time. It's just our husband and wife But we can only get together for a few days, and we will be separated again." Gu Zhonglian said: "This is what you should do. How can a wife complain? Brother Hai, I have already told you about the family affairs, and now it's your turn to talk about it. What is the important thing about your adoptive father?" matter, urging you to go see him?" Jiang Haitian said sadly: "The adoptive father asked me to say goodbye to him." Gu Zhonglian was taken aback and said: "What, your adoptive father, he, his old man has-" Jiang Haitian said: "He has passed away. He asked me to explain his funeral. He was over 80 years old, and he died without regret. It's just that his death left me with a doubt." Gu Zhonglian said: "Since he didn't die by accident, what doubts are there?" Jiang Haitian said: "I'm not suspicious of the cause of his death, but I feel that the few words he said before he left are a bit strange. Just listen to me carefully and refer to me for details." It turned out that Jiang Haitian's adoptive father, Hua Tianfeng, was a master of medicine. He felt unwell a month ago. After self-diagnosis, he knew that his death was imminent.Birth, old age, sickness, and death are inevitable processes in life, and natural death that has exhausted its vitality cannot be reversed by medicine.Hua Tianfeng is open-minded by nature, but his mood is very calm.It's just that since he has calculated his own death date, of course there are some funeral affairs that need to be explained in time. Hua Wufeng has only one relative, that is Hua Yunbi who is the Queen of Massar. Hua Tianfeng is an outsider who doesn't like prosperity, so he doesn't live with his son-in-law and daughter, but lives alone in Huashan.The country of Masar is far away, and the vulture that Hua Tianfeng used to raise had died two years ago, so he couldn't deliver letters to his daughter.And even if someone delivered the letter, his daughter would never make it in time to say goodbye to him. Apart from his daughter, the closest relative to Hua Tianfeng is his adoptive son Jiang Haitian.Therefore, Hua Tianfeng entrusted a member of the Beggar Clan to deliver the letter on his behalf, urging Jiang Haitian to come to see him quickly.The beggar gang has good eyes and ears, and there are flying pigeons passing on letters, so it is most convenient to find someone. Jiang Haitian said: "I received a letter from my adoptive father from the beggar gang, and hurried there, but unfortunately it was a bit late. When I went to Mount Hua, when I saw my adoptive father, he was already dying and could not talk to me. I have said too much. "The adoptive father has already made preparations. As soon as I arrived, he put his medical records over the years in a small box and handed them over to his daughter when he wanted me to. The greatest concern in his life is hope. His medicine can be passed on to others, so he repeatedly told me to tell Bimei that he must inherit the family education, and not just because he is a queen, he should only be greedy for pleasure." Gu Zhonglian said: "When the adoptive father is dying, it is reasonable to miss his daughter, what's so strange?" Jiang Haitian said: "In addition to his daughter, he also mentioned a name in the end, which I did not expect." Yan Zhongren asked, "Who is it?" Jiang Haitian said: "It's your nephew Ye Lingfeng." Gu Zhonglian was taken aback for a moment, and said, "How could your adoptive father mention his name for no reason?" Jiang Haitian said: "Yes, that's why I find it strange." Yan Zhongren said: "How did he mention it?" Jiang Haitian thought for a while and said: "The adoptive father was already dying at that time, and he seemed to have something on his mind, so he suddenly opened his eyes and said, 'Tell my son-in-law that he has a nephew named Ye Lingfeng. Well, his skills are not bad, and what’s more rare is that he is very ambitious. He is now facing off against the imperial eagle dog. Haier, I hope you can find him..." It was very difficult for the adoptive father to speak, so I hurriedly told him , I have already found Ling Feng and accepted him as an apprentice. The old man smiled and said only one sentence: 'Okay, I'm relieved now!' He passed away." Gu Zhonglian said: "Sure enough, it's a bit strange. The things he said about Nephew Feng are good, but how could he know these things?" Jiang Haitian said: "Yes. Didn't you ask Ling Feng the first day he came to our house? He made it very clear that he has never been to Mount Hua and met my adoptive father!" Gu Zhonglian said: "Nephew Feng already had a small reputation in Jianghu before joining relatives. Your adoptive father didn't say that he had met him, or he heard about it and then inquired about his origin ?” Jiang Haitian shook his head and said: "No. If the foster father hadn't seen it, he wouldn't know it so clearly. I know that the foster father doesn't praise others easily. He doesn't even care about Nephew Feng's character and ambition. Got it. I think not only have I met, but I have probably spent some days together." Gu Zhonglian was silent, Jiang Haitian took a break, and then said: "What's more, the mystery of Nephew Feng's life experience will not be revealed to others in the Jianghu?" Gu Zhonglian has a keen mind, and of course she has already thought of what Jiang Haitian wanted, but because Ye Lingfeng is very good at pleasing her, even though she has become suspicious now, she still refuses to believe that Ling Feng is a fake. Gu Zhonglian thought for a while, and said: "It's suspicious, but his letter cannot be faked. If there is another Ye Lingfeng, why hasn't he shown up now? Nephew Feng is definitely not so bold, dare to come to participate in the heroic event. General Assembly?" Jiang Haitian said: "I don't dare to conclude that he is a fake, so I want to try him." Yan Zhonglian said: "How do you test him?" Jiang Haitian said: "I learned some things about him from Shangfu Zhu. As long as this is the case, we can test his authenticity." He whispered the method of testing in Gu Zhonglian's ear. Gu Zhonglian said: "Okay, this is the best. Don't question him in a suspicious tone first, lest he feel sad." After discussing it, the couple went back to Yaowang Temple to look for Ye Lingfeng, but they didn't see him. Leaders of all factions were concerned about the talks between Jiang and Zhu. As soon as Jiang Haitian returned to the Yaowang Temple, Zen Master Dabei, Master Fahua, Zhong Zhan and his wife came to inquire about the news. These people were Jiang Haitian's elders. Jiang Haitian had no choice but to report to them the part of Zhu Shangfu's talk about the joint anti-Qing.Everyone was happy when they heard that Zhu Shangfu was willing to form an alliance with the heroes of the Central Plains and support each other. After talking for a while, it was already dinner time. In martial arts, the etiquette of seniority and inferiority is always respected. Jiang Haitian naturally invited Ye Lingfeng to sit with the heads of various factions, although he was eager to solve this mystery. , I had to endure it for the time being. During the dinner, we talked about it, and it was not easy for Jiang Hai to ask someone to find Ye Lingfeng until after the dinner. Bai Yingjie said, "Hero Jiang, is there anything urgent?" Jiang Haitian said: "It's nothing, I just want to have a few words with him. When is the meeting?" Bai Yingjie said: "There is still about an hour." Jiang Haitian thought to himself, one hour is enough to find out the truth. Unexpectedly, the person who went to look for Ye Lingfeng didn't come back for a long time. Jiang Haitian had something on his mind, and he seemed out of spirit when talking. Zhong Zhan said with a smile: "Jiang Daxia seems to love his head disciple more than his daughter. When he comes back, instead of looking for his daughter, he will first look for his apprentice." Jiang Haitian smiled wryly, "Where did this child go?" About half an hour later, Ye Lingfeng hurried over.The person looking for him smiled and said, "Ye Shaoxia and Senior Brother Meng are in a good mood. They were practicing martial arts on the mountain. I managed to find him." Ye Lingfeng greeted his master, and said: "I didn't know that Master wanted to find me. I forgot the time to practice martial arts with Senior Brother Meng, and I came back late." The "Senior Brother Meng" they said was a disciple of the Qingcheng School Meng Yongping was the spy who was ordered to contact Ye Lingfeng directly. Jiang Haitian had no time to ask who Meng Yongping was, so he said, "Lingfeng, come out and have a few words with me, so as not to disturb the conversation of the seniors here." Ye Lingfeng was uneasy, but his expression was as calm as usual, and he answered respectfully. A "yes" word. Jiang Haitian searched for the way ahead, took Ye Lingfeng to a secluded place, and said, "You are really concentrating on learning martial arts!" Just now, I happened to be talking about martial arts with a new friend of the Qingcheng School, so we watched each other. This friend is the nephew of Qingcheng Xin's head, and he is very enthusiastic about friends." Jiang Haixia patiently listened to his explanation, and said: "Okay, then I'll try your progress in martial arts?" He used a small grappling technique, and suddenly grabbed the pipa bone on Ye Lingfeng's shoulder. , Jiang Haitian has already grasped it, if the pipa bone is crushed, no matter how good the martial arts are, it will be invalidated! Jiang Haitian didn't ask clearly, so of course he wouldn't crush his lute bone right away, he grabbed it immediately and shouted: "Why don't you use small grabbing techniques to parry?" With a dazed look, Ye Lingfeng said, "Small grappling technique? Master, you have never taught me this!" Jiang Haitian loosened his five fingers and pushed Ye Lingfeng a step away, saying in a deep voice: "I have never taught it before, won't you use what you have learned before? Watch carefully, and take another move! This is not for use. A trick that cannot be dismantled by a small capture!" Ye Lingfeng was shocked and said: "Master, I, I..." Jiang Haitian didn't wait for him to answer, he drew a circular arc with his palm, grabbed him again, and shouted sharply: "This time I'm not playing with you, hurry up!" Take the trick quickly, or you will crush your pipa bone, and don't blame Master!" Jiang Haitian had indeed made up his mind, if Ye Lingfeng didn't know how to use small grappling techniques, it would prove that he was a fake. Jiang Haitian's grasp would crush his lute bone and ruin his martial arts! Jiang Haitian's five fingers were like hooks, and he was about to grab his shoulders. Ye Lingfeng suddenly lowered his shoulders and retracted his elbows.Of course Jiang Haitian would not be hit by him, but Ye Lingfeng's one move and four moves in one go is indeed a small capture technique. With a little force, Jiang Haitian pushed Ye Lingfeng away, feeling suspicious.It turns out that Ye Lingfeng's small capture technique is similar to the Qingcheng School's technique. Leaving aside the skill, in terms of tricks, in Jiang Haitian's eyes, it is very common.Therefore, Jiang Haitian was quite surprised, and thought in his heart: "Zhu Shangfu possesses peerless martial arts, and he can be called a contemporary martial arts master. I thought he must have his own unique small capture technique, but it's nothing more than that!" Ye Lingfeng was pushed by his master, and he couldn't help but make a few circles before he was able to stabilize his figure.I was extremely terrified in my heart, wondering if I could get away with it? Jiang Haitian waited for him to stand still, and asked, "Who taught you this little grappling technique?" Ye Lingfeng said: "It was the senior Zhu Shangfu who came here to make trouble today who taught me." Jiang Haitian said: "When did I teach you?" Ye Lingfeng said: "I traveled with him on the West Kunlun Mountains with my parents when I was young, and he taught me on the spur of the moment." As he spoke, he flexed and stretched his fingers, as if silently counting the number of years, and then said: "This is already ten years old. It was a year ago." What Ye Lingfeng said was consistent with Zhu Shangfu, Jiang Haitian was secretly surprised, and thought: "Could it be that I am suspicious? He is not a fake?" How did Jiang Haitian know that his temptation had already been expected by Ye Lingfeng.But how did Ye Lingfeng know these secrets?There is a reason for this.exactly: How about knowing the future?Please listen to the breakdown next time.
