But he said that after everyone entered the big tent, they had a few glasses of wine and started chatting. At the dinner, Ma Gui and Xiao Yunfan settled their differences. Although Li Rusong was arrogant, he had just had a contest, which made him look at Xiao Yunfan with admiration, and he also wanted to make friends.
Ye Mengxiong, the governor-general of the rebellion, saw that everyone was chatting happily, but he couldn't get a word in. He glanced at everyone, coughed and said: "Xiao Yishi, Ji Xin recommended you to investigate the haunting in the camp. I don't know what Xiao Yishi means." ?" Xiao Yunfan put down his wine glass and said, "Even if Brother Xiao doesn't recommend me, I will still investigate this matter."
Ye Mengxiong and Mei Guozhen looked at each other and asked doubtfully, "Oh? Could it be that Xiao Yishi knows the ins and outs of this matter?" Xiao Yunfan said slowly: "My lord, it is not convenient for me to tell you the whole story at this moment. After Xi is gone, I You should report it yourself.”
When everyone heard this, they all stood up and left. Before Li Rusong left, he said, "Brother Xiao, how about you and I compete again when you are free?" Xiao Yunfan smiled and said, "Okay, I will definitely visit General Li in my spare time."
After a while, Ye Xiao was the only two people left in the tent. Ye Mengxiong sat upright and said, "Now that they are gone, you can speak."
???????????????Xiao Yunfan said: "With your eyesight, you must also be able to see that this is not the work of ghosts, but the work of the enemy on the opposite side. And among the enemy there are The author of this article is a sworn enemy of Xiao. This person has great martial arts skills and many tricks. His identity is the remnant of the rebels of the dynasty. Now he and Kuaibai have joined forces, and their purpose is to bring trouble to the Ming Dynasty.
As far as the court was concerned, Xiao was a martial artist and should have stayed out of the matter. But as a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, how can we sit back and ignore it? If these traitors were allowed to start a war and harm the people, how could Xiao bear it? "
Ye Mengxiong's eyes flashed and he praised: "Yishi Xiao has taken responsibility and is a good man of our Ming Dynasty. As for who the rebel you mentioned is, please tell me."
Xiao Yunfan said: "This person is Zhang Sixiu, the second son of Zhang Juzheng, my former chief minister in the Ming Dynasty." Ye Mengxiong's face changed slightly when he heard this. He knew that in this dynasty, any mention of Zhang Juzheng was strictly taboo. The Zhang family case It was decreed by the emperor, and no one dares to refute it.
After the Zhang family was raided, the eldest son hanged himself, and the second son's relatives were all sent into exile. And that time I heard that he died on the way to Fujian Mansion. Now he has become the rebel in Xiao Yunfan's mouth and the initiator of the Ningxia Rebellion.
Although many things were unbelievable, Ye Mengxiong couldn't help but not believe it. He pondered for a long time and said: "I can't believe it, I really can't believe it. There is a person like him in this house. But Xiao Yishi, I would like to remind you, in the future, you should not mention this matter to others. Otherwise, depending on the Holy Spirit’s temper, I’m afraid innocent people will be implicated.”
Xiao Yunfan nodded. He was quick-thinking and knew that Ye Mengxiong wanted to take credit for it once someone knew the truth about this matter. Those who captured Zhang Sixiu would certainly be promoted and rich, but the people who lost the criminals back then were bound to be beheaded.
At that moment, Ye Mengxiong said again: "Well, Mr. Xiao, you said that the ghosts in the army are not man-made. I would like to hear your opinion?" Xiao Yunfan smiled and said: "Don't you see that this is disrupting the morale of the army?"
Ye Mengxiong's eyes moved slightly, and he stroked his beard and said: "Of course the governor of this level also wants to get it. The so-called attack on the heart, the enemy's move is to disturb our military morale and make us return without success. But now the enemy has come without a trace. It’s really a headache to go without a trace.”
Xiao Yunfan said: "What the enemy is using is a trick in the world, and naturally it must be solved in a trick in the world." Hearing the words "worldly tricks," Ye Mengxiong felt relieved and hurriedly said: "In this way, Xiao Yishi There are ways to deal with this."
Xiao Yunfan drank a glass of wine, took a breath and said leisurely: "Yes, first of all, I would like to trouble you to send someone to check the dead sergeant with me. Maybe Xiao can find something out from the dead soldier. In order to prevent this from happening, we also Please grant Xiao’s request, sir.”
Ye Mengxiong stretched out a hand and said: "Justice Xiao, it's okay to say it." Xiao Yunfan said: "Xiao wants to invite a few friends from the Jianghu to station in each camp and pretend to be sergeants. As long as the other party takes action, then we can do it in one fell swoop Take it.”
Ye Mengxiong thought for a while and said: "What Xiao Yishi said is not unreasonable, so I will follow what you said. However, this matter must be limited to a time limit. Now the court has repeatedly urged us to defeat the enemy as soon as possible. I hope Xiao Yishi will understand the difficulties involved."
Xiao Yunfan shook his head helplessly and said: "Then how many days do you want me to resolve this matter according to your wishes?" Ye Mengxiong raised three fingers and said: "How about three days?" Xiao Yunfan said: "Three days is three days."
Ye Mengxiong asked again: "Then what will happen to Xiao Yishi if he can't get the person after three days?" Mr. Ye will handle it."
After leaving the camp, Xiao Yunfan followed a sergeant on horseback to Li Rusong's camp to check. The two came to a camp. There were sharp horses outside the camp. There were more than ten large circular tents on a wide ground inside the tall wooden fence. A group of soldiers were training not far away.
After a soldier reported it, the people in Li Ying separated their horses and allowed the two men to come in. Xiao Yunfan looked around and saw that the Li Jiajun was different from the soldiers elsewhere. The faces of these people were fierce, and their clothes and armor were distinctive, but they were very different from the soldiers in other guard posts.
When Li Rusong saw Xiao Yunfan arriving, he and his brother Li Rubai greeted him. Li Rusong looked at him with piercing eyes and said, "Brother Xiao, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon."
Xiao Yunfan smiled and said: "General Li, please don't misunderstand. Xiao is not here to compete with the general, but is entrusted by Governor Ye to investigate the case." Li Rusong said: "In that case, please." He took Xiao Yunfan's hand and walked forward.
Four people came to a large tent. A white cloth covered Liu Damao's body on a wooden bed. A coarse porcelain sand bowl was placed on the ground above his head, with a lamp lit inside. Xiao Yunfan came closer and took a closer look. Liu Da Mao's hair was disheveled, his eyes were wide open, and he had a terrifying expression on his face. He had obviously seen something terrible before his death.
Xiao Yunfan covered his mouth and nose with a white handkerchief, first looked at the other person's mouth, then picked up his hand and inspected it, and found some black soil between his fingers. Then he pressed the bones of the opponent's body again, and the joints at the elbows and knees were broken.
He lifted up the white cloth covering the other party's body, and there was a hole as big as the mouth of a bowl on Liu Damao's chest, and the blood had condensed into black. And this hole is above the opponent's left chest.
Xiao Yunfan stood up, slowly walked out of the tent, and then said: "It's Yaksha's heart-picking hand. Only such domineering and vicious martial arts can pull out the opponent's heart at once."
Li Rusong frowned slightly and said: "Brother Xiao said that someone dug out Liu Damao's heart with his hands. Is there such a martial arts in the world?" Xiao Yunfan said: "General Li, it's not Xiao who is arrogant. It's the people in your army. Xi’s martial arts skills are different from those in Jianghu.”
Li Rubai was different from his brother. He had fair skin and looked more like a white-faced scholar. At this time, he asked: "What's the difference? Tell me." Xiao Yunfan said: "Martial arts in the military are mostly for physical fitness. In our opinion, It’s just superficial kung fu, but the martial arts practiced by people in the martial arts world are more advanced.”
Li Rubai said disapprovingly: "Brother Xiao is exaggerating." Xiao Yunfan smiled and said: "The martial arts in the military are all ordinary kung fu, and they practice external skills, while people in the martial arts practice Qi. Many qigong secret techniques are The predecessors of each sect created it uniquely, so it is not passed down. Those who have reached the peak of martial arts can even hurt people by picking leaves and flying flowers."
Li Rusong nodded slightly and said: "Brother Bai, this Brother Xiao is not lying. His mentor Wen Changgong mentioned this before. His swordsmanship is extraordinary, but the old man said that his swordsmanship is even worse than that of his friend Xie Wan. Not even one of them. I think there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky. That thief who comes and goes without a trace must have extremely good light skills."
When Li Rusong's mentor was mentioned, Xiao Yunfan was very interested and asked: "I would like to take the liberty of asking who is General Li's mentor?" Li Rusong said: "My master's surname is Xu, and his given name is Wei. He calls himself Old Man Qingteng."
Xiao Yunfan's eyes lit up and he said: "It turns out that General Li is the disciple of Old Man Qingteng. So you and I are quite related." Li Rusong said happily: "Oh "Brother Xiao, let's hear it." Xiao Yunfan said: "My master once served in Qi Shuai's camp in his early years, and he had some friendship with Wen Changgong at that time. To be honest, this is the old man named Xie that General Li mentioned 's apprentice."

When Li Rusong heard this, he respected him even more. Immediately he said: "No wonder Ma Laoxi fell into your hands. I dare you to be the disciple of old man Tianxing. A famous teacher and a disciple, you are indeed worthy. Brother Bai, I am old, I am afraid that I will not be able to learn any skills. You can You have to learn from Brother Xiao."
Li Rubai said reluctantly: "Eldest brother thinks that I am a generation shorter by taking Brother Xiao as my disciple. If I take Brother Xiao as my disciple, I will be a generation shorter when I meet eldest brother. I won't do this." Li Rusong shook his head and said: "That's true. Don’t know what’s good or bad.”
Xiao Yunfan said: "Two generals are stationed in Liaodong and fighting against the Tatars. Brother Ruxun also mentioned it to me, and the younger brother admired him very much. When it comes to martial arts, everyone can discuss it with their peers. There is no need to be a disciple."
Li Rubai glanced at Li Rusong and said: "Brother, you heard everything. Brother Xiao is so frank that he doesn't even have to ask for help. I must ask him for advice, little brother. His archery skills are really good, but it's a pity that the fifth brother is not here, maybe He is more anxious to become a disciple than me."
The three of them chatted. Sitting down in front of a stone table, Li Rusong held his hand and said, "Brother Xiao, you don't want to call me General Li. It's too awkward. If you don't mind, just call me Brother Li."
Xiao Yunfan said simply: "Okay, Brother Li." Li Rusong said: "This is it." Xiao Yunfan frowned slightly and said: "Brother Li, I have seen the wound of the old man just now. It was an evil sect. What he did. Although I have never fought with him, my martial arts brother knows it very well. Brother, don’t worry, I will definitely find this person and avenge the dead brother! "
Li Rusong said: "Well, with Brother Xiao taking action, of course the bandits will be captured without any effort. No wonder the old thief Kuaibai is so confident. It turns out that he has recruited these masters of the evil sect. It's just a fantasy for him to use these masters of the evil sect to stop our great Ming Yishi. .”
Li Rubai said: "Yes, they have masters, and we also have masters like the Xiao brothers. Masters versus masters, this is much better than a drama."
