Chapter 128: Don't Have Sorrow and Secret Hate (12)

Their minds are known only to their own. So late at night, if someone knocked on the door of the Yinchuan Post House, they would also scold their mother like this.

"The postman who opened the door seemed to be seen through, his face was slightly red, and he said to the other postmen in a loud voice: 'Brother Li of Yinchuan Post House is here, you haven't gotten up to greet him, a group of lazy pigs ......' When the other postmen heard the shout, they all rushed out in a hurry, and some didn't even have time to put on their shoes. I was still surprised that this bearded man had such prestige. The other post guards who only listened asked, "I don't know why Brother Li came here late at night?" Is there anything going on in the imperial court?' The post officer surnamed Li said in a low voice, "I heard that something big happened in the imperial court." Then a few of them surrounded the post man surnamed Li and walked into the house. ”

The ghost shadow continued: "I heard that postman surnamed Li say that 'something big happened to the imperial court,' and my curiosity rose sharply, and I disappeared on the roof of the house where they were gathering. I gently peeled back a tile and saw everything inside the house. Although Mrs. Jinglin had entered Emei, she was not ignorant of the major events of the imperial court, and asked, "What did they say? What happened in the imperial court?"

The ghost shadow continued, "I hid on the roof of the house and watched everything inside. The post man surnamed Li who I saw let go of the ring knife, untied the package behind him, and said to the other post guards: "All brothers also know that now there are people in Shaanxi who are in turmoil, and Gao Yingxiang led the crowd to rise up and proclaimed himself King Chuang. This Gao Yingxiang is by no means an idle person, and he doesn't know where to get a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, which can be regarded as a wealthy ......."

The ghost shadow continued: "The post man surnamed Li lowered his voice and said, 'Gao Yingxiang led his troops to fight in northern Shaanxi, and then entered the territory of Shanxi, and was the commander of the '36th Battalion'. He led his troops to cross the Yellow River and fought in Hubei, Shaanxi, Sichuan and other places through Henan. Gao Yingxiang led his men and horses to break through the official defense line and enter the southern part of Shaanxi, and now the imperial court has sent Sun Chuanting, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and what Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou and others have pursued him. When I went to Sichuan this time, I obeyed the orders of Governor Sun Chuanting, and asked Shi Yan Xuanfu to make Qin Liangyu and his subordinate 'white pole soldiers' send troops to intercept Gao Yingxiang, and several parties joined forces to strangle Gao Yingxiang's peasant army. The other post guards were also embarrassed when they heard this. ”

Shenlongzi listened to the words of the ghost shadow, and thought that he flew a pigeon to pass the book to the god, and stopped the gold, silver and jewelry that Tianqi Zhu Youxiao rewarded to Mrs. Hak, and transferred it to Gao Yingxiang. I thought that Gao Yingxiang could distribute it to the suffering people of Shaanxi. Who would have thought that he would use these gold, silver and jewelry as his own capital to launch a peasant uprising. He raised his arms, and the desperate people at the bottom joined his uprising. In just a few years, their footprints have set foot in most of the territory of the Ming Dynasty......

Thinking of this, Shenlongzi couldn't help but sigh, but then he was relieved. Today's imperial court is corrupt and incompetent, the eunuchs are autocratic, the people are not happy, and the common people are full of complaints. If Gao Yingxiang can really lead them to fight a country, so that the people can live a stable life, it will not be in vain to fund them with these gold and silver. After thinking about it, Gao Yingxiang unveiled the uprising, made enemies of the imperial court, and after one battle, the dead and wounded were all innocent people. It's come to this, but there's nothing I can do.

The imperial court sent a large number of officials and troops to encircle and suppress, which was an invisible internal friction. Outside the Shanhai Pass, the Manchurian Tartars have already sharpened their knives, if one day, they break through the Shanhaiguan, wouldn't it be easy to win the Central Plains?

The ghost shadow sighed when he saw Shenlongzi, and he didn't know if he sighed for the people of the world, or for the Daming Dynasty, or for Gao Yingxiang's uprising.

He continued: "That post man surnamed Li told a few people in the post house about a major matter in the court. He lowered his voice and said, "Do you know? I heard that some time ago, the current emperor was boating in the palace, and someone actually broke into the heavily guarded royal garden to assassinate him, and the emperor unfortunately fell into the lake, and his life was also in danger." Then the postmen asked him, 'Where did you hear about these things?' and the postman whispered, 'Of course I found out from the silver.' ’”

Shenlongzi once again thought of the fact that he and She Zhumo entered the Royal Forbidden Garden that day. He rescued Yang Shuixian who wanted to assassinate the emperor, but Zhu Youxiao, who was harmed, panicked and accidentally fell into the water. Now listening to the ghost shadow, I know that the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youxiao, is dying, but I don't feel good in my heart.

As a result, he is now a wanted criminal in the entire imperial court. 30

The so-called "I don't kill Beren, but Beren is killed because of me." "But if Zhu Youxiao drove the crane to the west like this, who would be able to inherit the great unification and become the next emperor?" He suddenly thought of Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, whom he had seen in Fayuan Temple......

The ghost shadow continued: "When I heard this, I was shocked in my heart, I don't know who is so bold and dares to assassinate the emperor. At this time, the postman who had opened the door in his clothes pushed the door in, he put the food in his hand on the table, and whispered to the postman surnamed Li: "Brother Li, there are two friends from the rivers and lakes living in our post house, and they want you to come over. The other post guards also looked at the post guards surnamed Li in confusion, but their faces changed. I knew that those post guards were worried about his safety, but the post guards surnamed Li didn't pay attention to it at all, and still ate calmly and calmly. ”

The ghost shadow smiled, but said again: "I was strange at the time, the friends in the rivers and lakes who lived in the post house? Isn't that me and the eldest sister? Could it be that the eldest sister wants to meet this postman surnamed Li? I withdrew at that time, I wanted to ask the eldest sister, what was the matter." In the middle of the night, there was a lot of inconvenience, so I went back to my room. When I returned to my room, my eldest sister was already waiting for me in the room. ”

Shenlongzi said: "Then it seems that the eldest sister wants to see this post pawn?" Jing Lin Shitai said: "We people in the rivers and lakes rarely have dealings with people in the court, but we don't know what the flower fairy is doing to find a post pawn?" Shenlongzi smiled and said: "No one can guess what the flower fairy is thinking in his heart." ”

The ghost shadow also showed a smile on her face, and said, "The eldest sister is worthy of being a heroine among women, and it is really unthinkable that she does things." As soon as I returned to the house, I saw my eldest sister waiting here, and I didn't know why she was doing this, but I told my eldest sister what I had heard. ”

"The eldest sister nodded, but said to me, 'Actually, I am just as worried as you about the people in the ghost town of Fengdu coming to seek revenge. I heard the sound of horses' hooves, and I was awake. Knowing that it was the Yinchuan Post House post keeper who came to deliver the letter, a big stone hanging in his heart fell to the ground. I saw you go after them, and I did not hinder you. ”

Shenlongzi opened his mouth and said, "Presumably the eldest sister also wants to know the purpose of this postman surnamed Li coming here late at night, right?" Ghost Shadow nodded and said, "Although we are from the rivers and lakes, we don't care much about the affairs of the court. But if you can borrow the power of the post station, it is also good to be able to leave Sichuan and Shu safely. ”

The ghost shadow continued: "The eldest sister said to me at the time, 'I went out and stopped the man who was clothed and opened the door, and stuffed him with a few taels of silver. From his mouth, I learned that the post man who came from afar was named Li Zicheng, the word Hongji, and lived in Shaanxi Mizhi Li Jiqian Village. He used to shepherd sheep for the landlord in his childhood, but he practiced a good martial arts, fought for righteousness, and is now a Yinchuan post officer. He often travels back and forth between Sichuan, Shaanxi, Jinning, and knows many friends in the rivers and lakes. ’”

Shenlongzi smiled and said, "The eldest sister is a person with a heart. ”

The ghost shadow continued: "When I heard the eldest sister's words, I was surprised, but I didn't expect that the eldest sister had already investigated the situation of this post guard. The eldest sister continued: "The post guards in the inns in several places adore him, and I want to know him. 'It's not often that I've seen my eldest sister behave in these strange ways, and I don't know what she's trying to do, but I don't want to ask too much. ”

Shenlongzi was also strange in his heart. He knew that the flower fairy had never liked to make friends with outsiders, not to mention that this person was just a little pawn.

The ghost shadow continued: "At this moment, the post man named Li Zicheng came to my room without a knife. When the eldest sister saw him, she first smiled and asked him, "You don't even bring a knife?" Li Zicheng was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but then laughed and said: "In terms of martial arts, if I can beat you, I don't need to bring a knife." If my martial arts skills are low, and I can't match the two, even if I am given thousands of divine weapons, it will be useless. Besides, if you want to see me, it's just to make friends or ask for something, and you have no intention of harming me, so what's the use of bringing a knife?'"

This man's voice was loud and arrogant. I listened to him and knew that he must be an open-minded and unruly man. Li Zicheng frowned, but he smiled again, and continued: "If you are looking for revenge, why should you be so verbose? Although Li is not talented, he rarely has a grudge against others, not to mention that I am a low-level pawn who belongs to the court. Li walked in Sichuan, Shaanxi, Jinning, and delivered urgent letters and newspapers from the imperial court, and did not have much contact with the rivers and lakes. The eldest sister who saw me stared at Li Zicheng like a fortune-teller, and then said: "You are full of heaven and ruddy face, you are the dragon and phoenix among people, and you will be a rich and noble person in the future." ’”

"I didn't expect my eldest sister to be so flattering to him. But when he heard this, he said, 'Little pawn, how can you talk about great wealth and wealth. Now it's just a mix of food. The eldest sister continued: "Mencius said: 'The heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skin, and empty their bodies. Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was a pavilion chief, Liu Xuande of the Shu Han Dynasty once sold straw sandals, and even Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was a monk. Li Zicheng heard the eldest sister's words, his face changed, and he began to stutter a little when he spoke, and said: "You can eat food indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense." If those villains heard about it and framed Li for having the intention of rebellion, Li couldn't afford it. ’”

"I only heard the eldest sister laugh and said: 'Li Zicheng, your name has already been written with the meaning of rebellion. The swallow bird knows the ambition of the bird, carries on the past and opens up the future, and establishes a career to ascend the throne, aren't these all rebellions. I don't know how the eldest sister could split so much slander from Li Zicheng's name. But Li Zicheng, who saw it, heard this, and his face turned pale. In any case, I don't want to be charged with rebellion and ruin. But the eldest sister said, "But don't worry, no fourth person will know this." Li Zicheng nodded, but said, "I don't know what you want to say to me? If Li can help, he will definitely go to the soup." ’”

Shenlongzi was also suspicious in his heart, and he didn't understand what the flower fairy wanted. But this Li Zicheng is also a smart person. In this way, Shenlongzi was quite interested in him.

The ghost shadow continued: "The eldest sister laughed when she heard this, and said, 'If you say so, I really have something to ask you to help with. Li Zicheng said: "Within the scope of Li's ability, he will definitely help." But the eldest sister left my room. After a stick of incense, she called the little ghost in. The little ghost I saw had red circles under his eyes, apparently crying. ”

"I don't know what's going on, and because Li Zicheng is in the room, it's inconvenient to ask too many questions. I only heard the eldest sister say to Li Zicheng: "My nephew wants to go out and have a look, but we have no way. I met Li Daying today, and I asked Li Daying to bring my nephew to see it. Hearing this, I realized that the eldest sister entrusted the little ghost to Li Zicheng in order to ensure the safety of the little ghost. Li Zicheng was also helpless, but thinking of the eldest sister's words, it was inconvenient to excuse himself, so he said: "You two can rest assured, as long as I Li Zicheng has a mouthful of food, I will never let this little brother go hungry." The eldest sister said: "Li Daying is the dragon and phoenix among people, and I can rest assured that my nephew will follow you." From this day on, he is your nephew, and now he will worship you as an uncle. ’”

After the eldest sister finished speaking, the little ghost fell to the ground and kowtowed three times, which can be regarded as officially recognizing Li Zicheng as an uncle. It wasn't until this time that I realized why the little ghost's head was red and swollen. I think it was the eldest sister who told him that she wanted to entrust him to someone else and let him stay away from this place for a while. He was reluctant to give up on his eldest sister, but he didn't want to disobey his eldest sister. ”

Shenlongzi nodded, looked at Yangcheng Lake, thought of the fact that he brought the little ghost head into the Butterfly Valley, and said, "The little ghost head is a sensible and good boy. He knew very well in his heart that following his eldest sister would definitely become a burden. Although I was reluctant, I didn't want to cause trouble to my eldest sister. ”

Mrs. Jinglin also said: "The flower fairy is worthy of being a strange woman. ”

The ghost shadow sighed and continued: "I know that the eldest sister is also reluctant in her heart, after all, the little ghost head has lived with the eldest sister for several years, and they have deep feelings for each other. But she didn't want the little ghost to follow us and be hunted down. We entrusted the little ghost head to Li Zicheng, and quietly left the post house in the middle of the night. ”

"During the two hours we were traveling, when the sun was just about to rise, we wanted to stop and rest for a while, but we never thought that the eight strange men in the robes appeared in front of us as if they had come out of the ground, carrying the sedan chair, and blocked our way. I was shocked at the time, thinking that they left the Wuhou Temple and didn't really go far, but deliberately played a play, that is, let me go to find the eldest sister. ”

The bearded man was very respectful to the eldest sister, and he seemed to be polite when he spoke, and he said, "Please get on the sedan chair for the eldest lady, the master has been waiting for you at home for a long time." Listening to his words, we realized that these people were actually sent by Hua Chengcheng. My eldest sister and I looked at each other, turned over and fled. We've never been so embarrassed. The eldest sister said to me, "Let's hurry to Mount Emei and ask Mrs. Jingyi for help." ’”

When Mrs. Jinglin heard this, Fang Zi understood, and said, "It turns out that you are in trouble, and when you come to our Emei?"

The ghost shadow said: "The Emei faction is one of the six major sects in the rivers and lakes, and the people in the Emei faction are dedicated to goodness. I have heard that the head of the Emei faction, Jing Yishi, is too happy and charitable. The eldest sister's mother, Ji Mingzhen, was friends with Mrs. Jingyi back then. The eldest sister thought of going to Emei to avoid the limelight. ”

Mrs. Jinglin said: "Ji Mingzhen once rescued Senior Sister Jingyi back then, and Senior Sister has never forgotten. ”

The ghost shadow said: "When my eldest sister and I rushed to the foot of Mount Emei, those eight strange people had already stopped on the mountain road. Their martial arts are unfathomable, and they have reached the foot of Mount Emei before we do. The bearded man stabbed me with his sword, and I drew my sword to separate us, and the two of us became entangled. But the other seven people also shot at the same time and hit the eldest sister directly. Although the eldest sister's martial arts skills are high, her two fists are invincible to her four hands, and where can she resist them alone, she was instantly caught by them and put into a sedan chair. ”

Mrs. Jinglin opened her mouth but said: "Hua Chengcheng has never cared about the flower fairy in his life, I don't know which tendon is wrong, and he actually sent someone to capture the flower fairy and take it back to the Four Seasons Villa?"

The ghost shadow spoke, "I am very anxious, but the bearded man I saw is getting faster and faster, and all the moves are separated from my sword. The seven people I saw lifted the sedan chair and ran into the distance, and I only heard the eldest sister shouting 'Four Seasons Villa'. I was shocked in my heart, thinking that the eldest sister was the daughter of Hua Chengcheng, the owner of Four Seasons Villa, and I knew that Aunt Ji took the eldest sister out of the Hua family and went to Butterfly Valley. But I can't think of why Hua Chengcheng would send someone to arrest the eldest sister back. At the moment when I was distracted, the bearded man swung a knife in front of my chest, and a long and deep bloody wound instantly appeared on my chest......"

After saying a word, the three of them seemed to feel a fishy stench wafting in front of them again.

Shenlongzi nodded, remembering the words of Master Huizhen, the abbot of Shaolin in Wanshan Temple, and said: "So, you were knocked off the cliff by that strange man?" The ghost shadow said: "Yes, I was knocked off the cliff by him, fortunately, the long sword was in my hand, and when I fell, I used my best strength to insert the long sword in my hand into a small crack in the mountain rock, and hung on the cliff." I waited for three days, and no one passed ......"
