Early the next morning, Feiyun and others left the inn, went out of the north gate of Ruzhou, and headed for Luoyang. Nothing unusual was found along the way, but Feiyun felt uneasy. He always felt that Pei Shouyi and Huang Yuxian's group would not give up just like that.
It was almost noon when Feiyun and his party arrived at the foot of Wan'an Mountain. They entered the valley and walked for a while, but still there was no movement.
Wang Hai said happily: "Young Master Lin, after passing Wan'an Mountain, Luoyang is not far away. It seems that there is no danger this time. You have successfully completed your mission!"
Feiyun said: "Brother Wang, don't be too happy. Only when you enter Luoyang can you truly feel at ease."
At this moment, Liangchen suddenly called out: "Brother, there is a restaurant on the roadside ahead. Let's go in and finish our meal before leaving, okay?"
Feiyun knew Liangchen's personality, and she wanted to taste the local flavor, so she nodded in agreement. After a while, Feiyun and others arrived at the door of the hotel. Upon seeing this, the waiter inside quickly invited Feiyun and others into the hotel.
Feiyun and others went in and saw that there were no customers inside. Seeing that Feiyun and others were very popular, the shopkeeper hurriedly arranged a private room for them. Liangchen asked the shopkeeper what special side dishes the restaurant had, and the shopkeeper immediately introduced them to everyone.
At this moment, a waiter came in to report that something happened in the lobby outside, and asked the shopkeeper to come over quickly. The shopkeeper quickly said sorry and hurried to the hall.
Feiyun and others were very curious after hearing this, and followed them to the hall. Feiyun looked up and saw that it was Wu Hong, Wu Qisi's son. Feiyun didn't expect to meet him here. It seemed that Wu Hong's injury had healed.
Opposite Wu Hong stood a boy and a young girl. Wu Hong waved his palm and was about to hit the boy.
Feiyun immediately shouted: "Wu Hong, stop! What happened?" Wu Hong turned his head and saw Feiyun and the others. He couldn't help but be startled. He knew that Feiyun was not someone to be trifled with.
Not long ago, Feiyun and his gang killed his younger brother and stabbed his mother. Uncle Wu Sansi actually didn't dare to avenge his family. Wu Sansi was afraid that Feiyun and others would cause trouble for Wu Qisi's family, so he brought their whole family to Luoyang
Wu Hong knew that Feiyun was highly skilled in martial arts and remembered the hatred between his brother and his mother. He immediately said viciously, "It's you! This is my son's business and theirs, it has nothing to do with you!"
Wu Sansi once warned Wu Hong that if he meets Lin Feiyun and others, he must not offend them. Although Wu Sansi did not explain Feiyun's identity as the emissary, he told Wu Hong that Feiyun and Wu Zetian had an extraordinary relationship.
When Wu Hong heard that Feiyun was actually related to Wu Zetian, he naturally did not dare to say more. When he met Feiyun unexpectedly today, Wu Hong could only suppress his anger.
Feiyun knew Wu Hong's personality and was sure that he was bullying others again. Since Feiyun encountered such a thing, he would naturally not sit idly by. Wu Hong was allowed to act recklessly and oppress the people.
Feiyun immediately said coldly: "I like to meddle in other people's business. You don't want me to, but I want to! If you don't tell them, I'll just ask them!" Liu Shui had already guessed that it was Zheng Hu who was bullying others. But the Zheng family is the founding fathers of the country after all, and he and the Zheng family have had grievances before, so he wants to settle the matter. Zheng Hu pointed his hand at the young man and said, "This unruly man actually dares to beat up someone in the palace!"
The young man was not afraid. He glanced at Liu Shui and said, "Brother, don't listen to his nonsense. He intends to belittle my sister, so I will naturally teach him a lesson!" Shopkeeper Zhou hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over and said to Zheng Hu He said: "Mr. Zheng, please don't be angry. The flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple. It's really a family that no longer recognizes each other. This boy and girl are both my friends. Please bear with me, sir."
Zheng Hu said: "Shopkeeper Zhou, are they your friends? Then it's okay. What's this girl's name? Where is she from?" Zheng Hu also knew the relationship between shopkeeper Zhou and Liu Shui, and saw Hongying standing there too. Behind Liu Shui, naturally he didn't dare to offend. Shopkeeper Zhou said: "Let's go to the back hall to talk together. I'll prepare a table of wine and food to make peace with the two of you. We'll introduce each other later. Okay?" Zheng Hu said: "No need, you don't want to talk, do you think this prince is still looking for you?" Aren't you here? This prince has important things to do, so I'll just say goodbye." After saying that, he saluted Liu Shui again, turned around and left, striding out of the restaurant.
When shopkeeper Zhou saw Zheng Hu leaving, he turned around and said to the boy and the young and beautiful girl: "Can you please come to the back hall to talk?" The girl said: "Thank you shopkeeper for coming to the rescue. Will that disturb you?" Zhou The shopkeeper said: "No, I want to introduce some friends to you two. Please follow me." Shopkeeper Zhou led the way, and everyone followed them into the back hall.
When they arrived at the back hall, shopkeeper Zhou invited the two of them to sit down and watch tea. Then he introduced Liu Shui, Hongying and Liangchen Meijing one by one to the girl, and also introduced the boy and girl to Liu Shui in detail. The boy's name is Chu Yu and the girl's name is Ma Qingxiang. They live outside the city and supply vegetables and firewood to Zuixianju. Shopkeeper Zhou said: "I didn't expect that the person who delivers food to us all year round is actually a martial arts master. I'm disrespectful."
Qingxiang said hurriedly: "Thank you very much, shopkeeper. We just practiced a few self-defense moves. We are not experts at all." Shopkeeper Zhou said: "You two are too modest. But please come to the back to remind you that today That person is the young prince Zheng Hu of the Runan Palace. His father is the Runan Prince. His grandmother Tao Sanchun is a powerful character. You must avoid him when you encounter him in the future to avoid getting into trouble."
Chu Yu immediately replied: "Thank you for the reminder, shopkeeper, we will be careful." Na Qingxiang said: "I didn't expect that the majestic Prince Zheng's mansion would teach such unworthy descendants. It is really embarrassing! Liu Shaoxia, your reputation has long been It's spread all over the capital, do you think I'm right?" After listening to what the two said, Liu Shui knew that the young man Chu Yu was probably new to the capital, so he was a little shy. But Qingxiang has obviously seen the world, so she naturally doesn't have stage fright.
Liu Shui's guess was correct, and Chu Yu's experience was quite legendary. Chu Yu was originally a hunter at the foot of Zhurong Peak in Hengshan Mountain. His parents died unexpectedly early, and he and his grandfather depended on each other. His grandfather also passed away a year ago, and he lives alone. Usually they hunt small game or chop some firewood and go down the mountain to exchange for daily necessities and silver. Life was just fine.
Who would have thought that something unforeseen might happen. That day Chu Yu went to set up a trap at the cliff of Zhurong Peak. He originally wanted to catch a fox or a pheasant or something. Unexpectedly, a wild wolf was caught in the trap. To ensure safety, Chu Yu shot an arrow at the wild wolf before walking over to check. But the wild wolf was not dead, and instead rushed towards him. Chu Yu started fighting with the wild wolf.
At the critical moment, a man fell from Zhurong Peak and fell on the wild wolf. The sword in his hand actually stabbed the wild wolf to death. But the man was also seriously injured and his legs were broken. Chu Yu saw that the man was over sixty years old and had many sword wounds on his body, so he found some herbs and applied them to him. He took the man back to his home and took good care of him. It was a pity that he had suffered a knife wound and a fall, and he refused to let Chu Fengyu go see a doctor outside, saying that he was afraid that his enemies would find out. As a result, the injury became worse day by day, and he saw that he could not last more than a few days.
One day, the man took advantage of Chu Yu not paying attention. For some reason, Chu Yu couldn't move and fainted in front of the man's bed. When Chu Yu woke up, the man told Chu Yu: "Young man, I have poisoned you. But it will not attack within three months. If you don't take the antidote after three months, you will die from the poison."
Chu Yu was shocked and said with a trembling voice: "Old man, we have no grievances, why do you want to kill me? I have taken good care of you for so many days! Don't say I am kind to you, I have never harmed you. of."
The man held on his strength and said: "I can't help you. But I have no choice but to do this. I know that I may die at any time. But there is something I need you to help me do, otherwise I will die in peace." ." Chu Yu smiled bitterly and said: "Whatever you want to do, just tell me, and I will naturally help you do it. Why poison it?"
The man said: "This matter is too important. I'm afraid that you may not do it after I die, so I have to poison you first. You can only detoxify the poison if you handle the matter well. This poison is passed down from our family. Others can’t see it and can’t understand it.”
Chu Yu had no choice but to say: "It seems I can't do it even if I don't want to. So what can you tell me?" The man said: "I have two things, you have to send them to my house. One is this jade pendant, and the other is that sword." After saying that, he took off a jade pendant from his neck, hung it on Chu Yu's neck, and then pointed at the sword he was holding when he fell down.
The man took a breath and said, "As long as you deliver these two things to my house within three months, my family will naturally detoxify you and reward you. If you greedily take it for yourself, you won't survive more than three months." Moon." Chu Yu just wanted to give something away. It was simple. He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Then where is your home?" Chu Yu thought that it might be farther away, but there was nothing he could do.
The man said: "In Majiazhuang on the outskirts of the capital, you can just ask Aunt Ma. There is only Aunt Ma in the village. After you meet her, give her the jade pendant and she will know." Chu Yu was surprised. Said: "What? Capital! I heard it's a long way away! Is your surname Ma?"
The man said: "It doesn't matter what my last name is. What's important is that you have to deliver the things. The capital is far away from here, but you can get there in three months, right?"
Chu Yu said: "You have planned everything. If I don't agree, it won't work. Then I will agree to you and send it to you." Seeing that Chu Yu agreed, the man said, "Thank you then. What's more? When I saw Aunt Ma, I told her that I was sorry for her, right..." His voice became lower and lower, and he finally closed his eyes and died without taking a breath.
After Chu Yu buried the man, he thought to himself that you saved my life. I took care of you for many days, and promised to help you deliver things and bury you, which was considered as repayment for your life-saving grace. Chu Yu packed up a little, not daring to waste time, and set out on the road alone the next day.
After walking for more than a month, the journey was uneventful. When he walked to the foot of Wudang Mountain, he heard voices in front of him. Chu Yu hurried over and saw more than ten men blocking a young girl on the road at the foot of Wudang Mountain in early spring. It turned out that a group of bandits shot the girl's horse to death with an arrow from behind, and then tried to kidnap the girl to the stronghold to be the wife of the stronghold.
The girl was dressed in red and looked stunning. She held a sword in her hand and was attentive, obviously a martial arts practitioner. A middle-aged strong man who looked like a leader said to the girl with a big knife on his shoulder: "Little beauty, you'd better put down your sword and follow me obediently. When you get to the village, you will be my wife, and you can enjoy all the food and drinks you want." Anyway, you can’t leave today. It’s getting late now, and not many people are leaving here.”
The girl let out a "poof" and said: "Shameless bandits, dream of your spring and autumn! Even if I die, I won't let you succeed." The other party is more than a dozen bandits who have been robbing homes all year round. Naturally, they are all Desperado. The girl in red thought she had no chance of defeating them, and her horse was killed by them, so she lacked confidence in speaking.
The middle-aged thieves said: "After talking for a long time, you still refuse to obey me, so don't blame me for being violent." After saying that, he waved his hand and struck the girl in red with the big knife on his shoulder. The sword is heavy and powerful, and the kung fu does not seem to be weak.
The girl didn't panic at all, and raised her sword to greet him. But there was a "clang" sound, and a stone flew over, knocking the big knife several feet away and falling to the ground.
This turned into a haste and everyone was shocked. The thief's expression changed even more. He relied on his great kung fu, but he didn't expect that a stone would knock his sword away from his hand, and his arm would go numb from the shock.
The thief hurriedly took a few steps back and shouted loudly: "Who is meddling in other people's business?" He then looked in the direction from which the stone flew, and saw a young man of about twenty years old slowly walking over. I saw him wearing a tiger skin coat, carrying a sword and a baggage on his back, and his face was slightly dark. He was naturally Chu Yu.
It turned out that when Chu Yu saw that the girl was in danger, he picked up a stone from the ground and threw it over. Then he walked closer and said: "I don't want to meddle in other people's business. You can see that you wanted to kill someone with a knife. In a moment of impatience, I had to smash the knife away. This girl is so delicate. If you take this big knife, she will be dead! Besides, Sorry, it's so shameful for you grown men to bully a girl. Bullying women is not a good man, so let them go."
The thief saw him talking eloquently and showed no fear, knowing that he had met a master. But he was extremely unwilling to let him go back like this. He had to take another gamble. The bandit leader then said, "If you want to mind your own business, you have to show your hands." Chu Yu said, "This is easy to handle." After saying that, he stretched out his hands. "Look, both hands are here. You can see as much as you want."
The bandit leader said angrily: "What a good boy, how dare you play tricks on me." As he said that, he punched him. He hit whenever he wanted, and his movements were swift. Seeing his disagreement, Chu Yu suddenly got angry. It was too late to dodge, so she had to use her hands to block, but the man's fist turned into a palm midway, and he hit Chu Yu's chest with a turn of his arm.
The thieves were overjoyed, thinking that Chu Yu could be killed in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, he slapped Chu Yu with all his strength, but it felt as if he had been hit on a steel plate, and his palms and arms suddenly hurt.
