Chapter 18: Siming Mountain obeys the promise, Sanxianzhuang kills people on a moonlit night
It is said that Chu Jianghan took the road south and headed straight for Siming Mountain. Xue was stalking him and insisted on following him. Chu Jianghan repeatedly said that he was going to Sanxian Village in Siming Mountain just to fulfill the marriage agreement, but Xueru said: "Slave is a person with a bad life, and he never dares to have any wrong thoughts. It's just that he has been in this life for a long time. I am the young master's person. I only want to accompany him and serve him morning and night. Being a maid is enough." He then said, "I have already set fire to Shuiyue Tower. Mr. Ren is determined not to get around me, so he can only follow me now." Young master, you can keep me safe!"
Chu Jianghan said: "Young Master Ren is my sworn brother. He is a rare man and a true hero. He will never embarrass a female prostitute!" Xueru just sneered when she heard this. If Chu Jianghan wanted to say more, Xueru just knelt on the ground. He kept kowtowing and crying. When Chu Jianghan saw her crying and begging, he immediately lost his mind. Seeing that she was a female prostitute, he decided to take her for a ride. When he got to Sanxian Manor, he would try to settle her down and then agreed to take her with him.
Along the way, the two of them traveled day and night, but nothing happened. Xueru served tea and water in the morning and evening. Except for going back to their rooms to rest in the evening, Chu Jianghan was not as uncomfortable as before when they were eating together. Seeing that Xue Ru was so beautiful and beautiful, and so gentle and considerate, I really couldn't find any reason to refuse.
It is normal for children in the world to work hard, and having such a lovely person by their side makes them feel indescribably better than before. But every time when Xueru raised her hand, Chu Jianghan couldn't help but think of Miss Shen: I already have Miss Shen in my heart, how can I pretend to be someone else?
Let's get back to the topic. Chu Jianghan went straight to Siming Mountain without any delay. He asked around along the way and found out that Sanxian Village is very famous in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The Ye family specializes in the salt tea business and has accumulated a lot of money. The Ye family was usually well-known for being charitable and charitable, but Chu Jianghan found out about it without any effort.
Chu Jianghan went to the mansion to explain his purpose, and was politely invited into the mansion. The housekeeper said: "Our master is out on business, please bear with me! I have informed you a long time ago, and my wife said that she did not dare to make the decision. She has to wait until she comes back in the evening, then hold a banquet to entertain and talk to her relatives." At that moment, Chu Chu Jiang Han drank tea and waited in Sanxian Manor without saying anything.
In the blink of an eye, the sun was setting in the west, and the housekeeper had already prepared a banquet and came to invite him. Chu Jianghan led Xueru forward and walked around until he entered the back hall.
Chu Jianghan didn't feel anything was wrong, but Xueru said to the housekeeper: "Your master is too rude. Since my uncle came to recognize his relatives, why would he hold a banquet in the back hall? Isn't it your master's intention? Neglect?" The housekeeper hurriedly explained: "Please forgive me, my master really lives in seclusion. This banquet in the back hall is really to get close to my uncle, it is not an intentional neglect!"
Chu Jianghan waved his hand and said it was okay, and then the butler led the way to the back hall.
At the housekeeper's announcement office, two carved doors opened, and an old man in rich clothes walked out. He was the first to clasp his fists and salute. Chu Jianghan glanced at the place where he returned the gift, only to feel that this old man was in good spirits and had a really good body. He has a temperament that is somewhat similar to his sixth brother Li Hong and Li Feiyun.
While they were talking, they entered the table. They first introduced each other with polite greetings. Ye Kai raised his glass and made a toast. He messed around with the wine before and after, causing so many troubles. How dare Chu Jianghan drink at this moment? He hurriedly said: "Thank you, Uncle! I like to drink. It's just that I once got into trouble after drinking, so I don't dare to drink anymore." As she spoke, Xueru's face changed, and she suddenly turned red, and she slowly lowered her head into her arms. .
Ye Yuanwai laughed loudly when he saw this, turned to Chu Jianghan and said: "My nephew is really upright and open-minded. It's really rare, it's really rare!" He turned to the left and right and said: "You guys go down first, I have a few words to say. Nephew, tell me!" Then he looked at Xueru again, Chu Jianghan understood in his heart, and said in his heart: I don't know whether this girl from the Yang family is dead or alive, and her whereabouts are unknown. If she finds out, I really don't know what I will do. So he turned around and said to Xueru: "You can go down too!" Xueru stood up, bowed, and followed closely.
There was no one around, so Chu Jianghan opened the bag from his back, took out the scroll, and slowly unfolded it. In the painting, there was a little girl playing the piano. As soon as Ye Kai saw the person in the painting, he burst into tears.
Chu Jianghan persuaded her for a while, but didn't know how to say it: There was an engagement before, but now that she learned that the Yang family girl was living in a prostitute, her mother asked him to come and break off the engagement. How could this be done by a man!
Seeing Mr. Ye crying so sadly, he was thinking about how to speak.
Ye Kai cried for a while, wiped his tears and said: "I think back then, I and Duke Wen Tai passed the examination together, and then for Jin Lan's benefit, I knew about your family's engagement. Alas! At the beginning, Duke Wen Tai was entangled with Yan Guanyu. In the history, Yan Song and his son were impeached, but they were beheaded instead, and the men were all exiled. For more than ten years, I have searched in many ways, but no one survived. As for the female family members, they were all used as singing studios and suffered all kinds of humiliation." After that, He burst into tears again.
Seeing how sad he was crying, Chu Jianghan said hurriedly: "I have heard my mother tell you about this. I wonder if any of the Yang family's female family members will survive?"
Ye Kai looked at the person in the painting again and remained silent for a long time. Then he picked up the wine bottle and took a few sips.
Seeing that he was silent, Chu Jianghan simply knelt on the ground, bowed three times, and then said: "I dare not deceive my uncle. This time I came here on my mother's order, but not to find my relatives, but... ....but here to break off the engagement! If Xiao Ruo in this painting is really alive, the younger generation would never dare to marry her into the family. Although my father was a commoner during his lifetime, he...but also... .....In short, the younger generation will never dare to be disrespectful to our late father!"
After Chu Jianghan finished speaking, he felt a big stone in his heart suddenly fall to the ground, and he felt extremely relaxed instantly.
But unexpectedly, Mr. Ye suddenly stopped crying, stepped forward, helped him up, and said, "You are indeed upright and open-minded. Okay! Okay! Okay!" Chu Jianghan originally thought that the other party would blame him for acting according to the prevailing situation. At worst, he would feel resentful, but unexpectedly, instead of being angry, the other person couldn't help praising him.
Ye Kaiyan said: "How can the predecessors decide the affairs of future generations? I have the final say in this marriage, let it go or let it go!" Chu Jianghan was overjoyed and was about to express his gratitude when he saw Mr. Ye's expression was solemn and he slowly said He said: "The orphan of the Yang family, Xiaoruo in this painting, is living in the world." When Chu Jianghan heard this, he couldn't help but feel regretful.
Ye Yuanwai added: "Since I resigned, I have been running a business while asking around. Xiaoruo, the daughter of the Yang family, is still alive. Let me ask you, if this woman is still alive and in dire straits. Are you willing to rescue me?"
Chu Jianghan said: "Now that we regret our marriage, our Chu family is naturally unjust. If there is a girl from the Yang family alive, even if she has not regretted her marriage, I should rescue her and it is my duty to do so." Mr. Ye was overjoyed and held Chu Jiang's hand. Han Shou sat down and said: "Okay! My nephew is indeed someone who can be entrusted with my trust. Please listen to me carefully!"
While speaking, he picked up the wine bottle again, took a few sips, and said slowly: "Not only did I find out about Xiao Ruo's whereabouts, but I also learned that she is now in the White Lotus Sect!" Chu Jianghan was surprised. He lost his voice and said: "White Lotus Sect?"
"Exactly! Xiaoruo joined the White Lotus Sect a few years ago. It's just that although the White Lotus Sect is secretive, it has many followers. It's not easy to find a girl who has not been seen for more than ten years!" Chu Jiang Han was also disheartened and sighed: "Don't say that the White Lotus Sect's whereabouts are strange. Even if it is found, how can it be confirmed?"
Ye Kai said again: "My dear nephew, please listen to me: Although the White Lotus Sect behaves strangely, it is only for the leader. The world is so big, but there are a bunch of desperate bastards who are preaching everywhere. A few years ago, I happened to come to At home, I agreed to join the church and donated a lot of money and food to me. However, this time there was a rebellion in Sichuan, I got a share of the money and food!" As he spoke, he covered his face with his hands, looking quite annoyed.
Mr. Ye said after a long time: "I did this just to find out about my old friend!"
Chu Jianghan thought in his heart that the White Lotus Sect caused chaos in Sichuan and caused harm to the country and the people. It turned out that Ye Yuanwai also had a share. But he did this for the sake of his old friend's daughter, and he didn't know how to answer the question.
Ye Yuanwai continued: "I provided money and food, and also traveled around for them. I actually got the position of deputy altar leader. I also learned that although there are many followers of the White Lotus Sect, people with a little status are all suppressed. Register them one by one and put them under the management of Suzaku Hall. Unfortunately, I don’t have enough status and I’m afraid I may not be able to get in touch with them in this life!”
Chu Jianghan's heart brightened, and he continued: "In that case, as long as you see the roster of Suzaku Hall, you will have a chance to find Sister Yang!"
Ye Kai sighed and said: "It's easier said than done!" Chu Jianghan also said: "Yes! It's easier said than done."
Suddenly, Ye Yuanwai said: "Although I failed to find my old friend's daughter, I found out the location of the White Lotus Sect's main altar. From the White Lotus Sect's leader on up, everyone has their own martial arts, which are passed down from generation to generation, and they also act secretly. Therefore, although there have been military campaigns in the past dynasties, most of the ordinary believers were wiped out, and the chief culprits were helpless, so they can survive to this day. I also heard that there have been many murders in the Beggar Gang, Shaolin, and Wudang recently, and I also heard that the world's heroes There is some kind of heroes conference to be held in Mount Tai, so I deliberately leaked the location of the White Lotus Sect's main altar to... to..." As he was speaking, his whole body suddenly twitched and collapsed.
Chu Jianghan hurriedly rushed forward, only to see that Mr. Ye's expression looked the same and he was no longer breathing. He hurriedly looked around and found no trace of injury. Chu Jianghan was frightened, hurriedly called his servants, and rushed out of the door.
After not seeing a reply for a long time, Chu Jianghan knew something was wrong. He gathered his energy in his Dantian and looked around intently. Suddenly he heard footsteps swishing on the roof of the house. It turned out to be someone!
This man's feet were so light when he stepped on the tiles. His martial arts skills were so solid that it was no wonder that he hadn't heard it before.
Soon enough, Chu Jianghan jumped onto the roof with his feet low, but the person who came was already three feet away. Chu Jianghan hurriedly opened the Xumi Sanyin and followed him. In an instant, he chased for three to five miles. Seeing Chu Jianghan following closely, the visitor suddenly turned around. When he heard the sound, three hidden weapons were fired at him. He came and hurriedly waved his sword to block it. Sparks flashed and three hidden weapons fell down.
When the visitor saw that the hidden weapon was shot down, he struck out with a splitting palm in the air. Although this splitting palm is a common martial art in the martial arts world, unexpectedly, this person used it in an unusual way. Chu Jianghan was very aware of it and hurriedly used his left palm. They met each other, trying to make contact with their palms, but only heard a "bang" sound, and the person who came was shaken ten feet away and fell to the ground. Chu Jianghan also swayed and fell to the ground.
The visitor opened his mouth and asked, "Who are you to have such means?"
Chu Jianghan saw that the visitor was dressed in black, but couldn't see his face clearly. He sneered and replied: "A man will not change his name in business and his surname in office, I am Chu Jianghan!" The visitor seemed to be surprised: "But recently. The 'Danyang Swordsman' who caused a stir in the world?" Chu Jianghan replied: "I don't dare! It's just a mere inferiority!"
The visitor asked urgently: "Let me ask you: Do you have this Yue-Zhen Yue Sword in your hand?" When Chu Jianghan heard that he came for the sword in my hand again, he couldn't help but feel a little angry and said angrily. He said: "Exactly!"
When he heard this, he became angry and gritted his teeth, and said viciously: "So, the people who came to our holy sect to find the sword were also killed in the hands of your Majesty." ?”
Chu Jianghan understood in his heart that the person who came was undoubtedly a demon from the White Lotus Sect. Now that I met him, he would also imitate Brother Zhang to eliminate demons. He held his sword in his hand and replied: "There are a bunch of ugly demons in front of me." Although I am not the one who killed you, I am still my sworn brother who died. If you want to take revenge, you have found the right person!"
The visitor laughed and said: "Although you are very famous, you must also know who I am. I, the White Lotus Sect, are all over the world, and my name is achieved by my brothers! Don't be so arrogant as a junior, today Just in time to take your life!" As he spoke, he pulled out a sword from his waist and said, "Look at the sword!" He saw the voice coming, and his sword skills were extremely fierce.
Chu Jianghan was not in a hurry, shook his sword flower, and blocked it with one sword from bottom to top. Where the two swords intersected, Chu Jianghan knew how powerful it was. It turned out that this man's sword skills were really good, even with this sword in his hand. The sword was anything but ordinary, it could cut repeatedly.
The visitor said: "It's so powerful!" Chu Jianghan followed up with another sword strike. Ever since he was able to beat the crazy beggar with no name, he had been studying hard, and now he had already mastered it. Although he did not dare to say that he could use his sword as he wished, It's easy to pick up.
It was only when the person came to take it that he realized the power of Yi Jian. He saw another sword stabbing him, and he hurriedly avoided it. However, the sword energy was so sharp that he couldn't dodge it, so he had to raise his energy and draw the sword to meet it.
After another sound, the person trembled on the spot first, and then there was a "ding" sound, and the sword in his hand was broken into two pieces. Then the clothes on his chest tore open, blood spurted out, and the person fell to the ground.
Chu Jianghan sheathed his sword and turned around and rushed towards Sanxian Manor without caring about the man's life or death.
Chu Jianghan used Qing Gong and went back to the village but found something was wrong. He heard women and children crying in the distance. Chu Jianghan looked for the sound and came to the backyard, only to see a group of maids, women, mothers-in-law and children, including Xueru. , were all locked in a room, with a big lock on the door.
Chu Jianghan hurriedly opened the lock and rushed in. A room full of ladies and children immediately started crying and making a mess.
Xueru had run up to her a long time ago, smiling through her tears. Chu Jianghan hurriedly asked what happened, and Xueru replied. Only then did a group of black-clothed strong men arrive and drive the woman and children into the backyard room. It was locked. Chu Jianghan gave a few instructions, then closed the door and went out. When he came to the front yard, he only saw a group of men, all dead in the front yard. There were dozens of them. When he hurriedly checked, there were no axes on them. Sword marks.
While I was wondering, I suddenly heard a person behind me say: "Don't look at it, they are all poisoned and died!"
Who is the person behind him? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
