Xiaoyu sailed a large boat on a ferry in the lower reaches of the Huaijiang River, planning to take the boat to the upper reaches and then circle back to Chunhua Valley to kill Wang Heng.
Spent the night on the boat, speechless.
Let’s talk about the second day of April.
Uncle Liu suffered from severe insomnia. As soon as the sky turned white, he walked out of the tavern in the rain.
Uncle Liu and Aunt Li were still sleeping soundly in the next room, and Uncle Liu did not disturb them.
There was silver left on the table, and Uncle Liu went to Huatan Temple carrying the fishing rod.
He had to lead the donkey to travel, and he also had to pick up other belongings left in Huatan Temple. He only had a fishing rod in his hand, and other baskets and other things were all still hanging on the donkey.
When the rooster crows, the sky will be bright.
Uncle Liu and Aunt Li woke up and found that Uncle Liu's house was also empty, and there were tables in the wine shed in the outer courtyard.
Five taels of silver were pressed against a piece of paper. The note was the one left by Xiao Yu that Uncle Liu had snatched from Uncle Six last night.
At this time, it was already a little wrinkled, and it was straightened by Uncle Liu and pressed under the silver.
Aunt Li picked up the silver and Uncle Six picked up the note.
There are still those crooked words on it: "Farewell, don't read it."
Uncle Liu frowned: "Uncle Liu has gone too?"
Aunt Li glanced at the empty yard, frowned and said, "This person is also strange. He doesn't even say hello when he leaves."
At this time, it had been about an hour since Uncle Liu left the tavern. Uncle Liu happened to lead the donkey with a tuft of white hair on his forehead from Huatan Temple and passed by the tavern.
"Lao Liu, are you up?" Uncle Liu shouted at the door of the courtyard.
Uncle Liu and Aunt Li were discussing when they heard the words and ran to the door.
"Uncle Liu, are you leaving too?" Uncle Liu asked with a frown.
Uncle Liu and Aunt Li were happy to have Uncle Liu and Xiao Yu with them during this period. Their arrival added a lot of excitement to the tavern.
There was some reluctance in Uncle Six's eyes.
Uncle Liu smiled kindly, looked at Uncle Six and said: "Old Six, I have to go to another place to catch big fish. The note left on the table is what I want to say. By coincidence, I am going to Huatan Temple. I took the donkey, passed here again, and said hello to you."
Aunt Li stood on the side and said: "When you leave, I don't know if this brat Xiaoyu will come back. Hey, thanks to your presence these past two months, it has been quite lively. Now that you are gone, we are really not at ease with each other." It’s a habit.”
Uncle Liu waved his hand and said to the two of them: "Let's go, Sixth, Aunt Li, see you later." After saying that, he patted the donkey's butt and swayed towards the direction of Yu'an Ancient Town.
Uncle Liu and Aunt Li stood under the old locust tree, holding oil-paper umbrellas and waving vigorously at Uncle Liu's back as he slowly walked away in the rain.
"Next time you come to Yangzhou, remember to come to the pub to play!" Uncle Liu said loudly.
Uncle Liu replied from a distance: "Go back, don't send it away."
"The same goes for Xiaoyu. I'm afraid he won't come back." Aunt Li muttered sadly.
Uncle Liu said: "When it clears up in two days, I will go to Chunhua Valley to inquire and see if this kid is really gone."
Aunt Li nodded, snuggled into Uncle Six's arms, frowned and said: "This child, the ruffian is a bit angry, but he is not bad-hearted and is a good child. It's a pity that he is not ours. I still want to wait for him to get it." When you go back, tell him that you will adopt him as your godson, hey..."
Uncle Liu comforted Aunt Li and said, "Let's go back."
...
at the same time.
Chunhua Valley.
In the rain, Ji Ruge was still dressed like that.
A coir raincoat, a bamboo hat, coarse cloth clothes, and a sword.
He stepped on the green grass beside the Huai River and headed towards Chunhua Town.
In the center of the town, at the entrance of a bodyguard agency converted into a martial arts gym.
The door plaque is engraved with three big characters in red lacquer: "Ba Daomen"!
Standing in front of the door was a swordsman wearing a hat and a hat. The swordsman was holding his sword.
If it's not Ji Ruge, who is it? !
Wang Heng should have died a long time ago. He ate the overlord meal at Liushu Tavern, and later heard the villagers in Chunhua Valley talk about this man. He was domineering, harming the people, colluding with the government, and taking plunder.
Taking into account the murder of the Tong family back then, this man had committed all sorts of evil deeds.
Mingyi Sword Sect, Luo Yue Sect, and Ba Dao Sect were all established because they plundered the Tong family, which was a very wealthy family at that time, and later established their sects with ill-gotten wealth.
In recent years, the reputations of Mingyi Sword Sect and Luoyue Sect have been pretty good, but the Ba Dao Sect has a terrible reputation.
In the morning, a gatekeeper from Ba Daomen opened the door, rubbed his eyes, and saw a swordsman standing in the rain not far from the door.
He held an umbrella and walked forward, "Who are you? You are standing at the door pretending to be a ghost so early in the morning?! Isn't it scary?" This disciple had a ruffian face, a ferocious look, and no nice words to say. He was the kind of leader like Wang Heng. , the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked.
Ji Ruge kicked him over and said in a deep voice: "Tell Wang Heng to come out and see me."
Seeing that he was a ruthless person, the man from that sect kicked him without saying a word, staggered up, didn't even need his umbrella, and ran towards the inner palace of Ba Dao Sect.
Not long after, Wang Heng came striding over with Wen San and other disciples. They were still wearing white coats and holding the big sword in their hands.
Wen San and Wang Heng held umbrellas, and other disciples followed behind with knives in the rain.
"What bastard! How dare you come to my Ba Dao Sect to cause trouble." Wang Heng scolded: "Yesterday, my brother died. A nice birthday banquet was turned into a funeral banquet. I am not in good spirits today! I came here to relieve my anger. ?”
Wang Heng had a stern look on his face, and the big knife in his hand was placed on the bluestone floor, holding the handle of the knife with both hands.
Wen San held the umbrella for him with a respectful look.
Ji Ruge sneered and thought to himself, this idiot's brothers were nothing more than Ge Changshou and the others. Did he really not know how they died? Who is looking for him at this time besides Ji Ruge, the 'murderer'? !
Wang Heng had conflicts with the Jiangnan factions at the beginning. In fact, he was worried that Ji Ruge would take action against him. However, even though so many masters died in Yangzhou, he was fine. This meant that the devil Ji Ruge despised him. I won't kill him, so I can live peacefully in Chunhua Valley during this period.
At this time, someone came to the door, and he went out to confront him without worrying at all.
Ji Ruge threw the last plum blossom seal jade in his hand with his left hand and held it in his right hand, revealing his true appearance with the sword in his arms.
Wang Heng took the Plum Blossom Seal Jade and was shocked. Before he could raise his head, Wen San patted him on the shoulder.
"Master, sword, his sword!"
Wang Heng frowned and said, "What happened to his sword?" Then he looked up at Ji Ru's sword in the singer's hands.
Green sheath, red handle.
He remembered that both Ruan Qingchou and Abbot Kongxing had said that Ji Ruge's sword, with its green scabbard and red handle, evoked annihilation.
"Ji, Ji, Ji...Ru...Ruge!" Wang Heng was much more surprised to see Ji Ruge than he was to see the plum blossom jade in his hand. He was so frightened that he trembled a little and started to stutter.
Because Ji Ruge's appearance was equivalent to announcing his death.
Among the people who bloodbathed the Tong family that year, except for Zhou Feng, the four of them, Ge Ming, Lu Wei, Lu Fang, and Ge Changshou, were all better in martial arts than me. These four people all died without exception. How could I beat him? The passing seasons are like singing.
When he returned to Chunhua Valley yesterday, he felt that something was wrong. Why did the dead people happen to be the ones who committed the crime back then? Only he knew that the dead people were related to the Tong family murder case.
When he arrived at Gejiazhuang, Ge Changshou had already collected the body and there was no plum blossom seal jade.
Wang Heng was a little worried. Just when he was preparing to pack his bags and leave Chunhua Valley to avoid the limelight today, Ji Ruge came to the door early in the morning!
When he saw the Plum Blossom Seal Jade, he became even more certain that the deaths of the other four people should be related to the murder of the Tong family that year, and the people who came must have come to avenge the Tong family.
But what he didn't expect was that the person who came to take revenge was Ji Ruge!
"Impossible, no, impossible. Everyone back then is dead. Who would hire killers for them to kill us? No...no...impossible!!" Wang Heng was a little confused and muttered tremblingly.
