Strange Tale of Qingluan

The maid opened her lips: "Master, the guest wants to see the master."

Shangyuan He Xiang glanced at Su Zhongming, and said, "It's not yet dusk, what are you looking for me for?"

Su Zhongming didn't want to go around the bush and said straight to the point: "I promise to cooperate with senior sister!"

Shangyuan Hexiang raised the corners of his lips, and chuckled: "It's not dusk yet, but you came to inform the decision in advance? But that's good, I don't have to wait any longer."

Su Zhongming hurriedly asked: "When will you give me the weaknesses of those masters in Mufeng Club, as well as the topographic map inside the main rudder?"

Shangyuan He Xiang replied: "If you stay at my house for a few more days, I will sort it out for you in a few days."

After thinking for a while, Li Xuan interrupted: "We can't stay for a few more days! We still have important things to do!"

Shangyuan Hexiang said: "I thought you just went to Dingjun Mountain to worship in a leisurely way. I didn't expect that there are important things to do. I don't know what the important things are?"

Su Zhongming felt that Shangyuan Hexiang could trust him at this moment, so he said calmly: "It is to trigger a civil war on the peninsula and assassinate Kou Xin."

Shangyuan He Xiang was stunned: "Are you guys going to fight?" He hurriedly asked, "How long will this fight be?"

Su Zhongming confessed: "Actually, I don't know. But! If it's half a year, I will definitely come to see you again in half a year! I hope my senior sister can wait for me for half a year."

Shangyuan Hexiang said without hesitation, "Okay! I'll wait for you for half a year! If you don't come back after half a year, I'll go to the peninsula to find you!"

Su Zhongming nodded and responded, "En!"

Shangyuan He Xiang hurriedly asked again: "When are you leaving?"

Su Zhongming replied: "I'm going to ask him about this." After finishing speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Li Xuan.

Shangyuan He Xiang said: "At least finish this dinner with my family, and leave early tomorrow morning!"

Li Xuan replied: "Since the hospitality is so warm, Zhongming and I will bid farewell tomorrow morning."

Shangyuan Hexiang raised the corners of his lips again, with a gentle smile, revealing a little satisfaction.

Su Zhongming glanced at the wooden figure behind her, saw that the sword was full of scars, and couldn't help saying: "No wonder the sister's double swords are getting more and more exquisite, so you are practicing every day."

Shangyuan He Xiang smiled, and replied: "It's you, you are lazy every day, you must have regressed a lot, right? Master has a spirit in the sky, I'm afraid you will be sad."

Unconvinced, Su Zhongming blurted out: "Huh! After I finish the big things, I will practice hard every day!"

Li Xuan listened, turned his face away, and looked away.

Su Zhongming noticed it, and lightly poked him with his elbow, and said dissatisfiedly, "Why?"

Li Xuan looked away, and replied: "Nothing, I just feel...someone seems to be talking empty words."

Su Zhongming lowered his face, becoming more and more dissatisfied. When he turned his head, he saw a Wushi knife descending. He immediately raised his hand and grabbed the handle of the knife. He looked at Bairen curiously, and Shangyuan Hexiang curiously. yes……?"

Shangyuan He Xiang replied: "Since this time has come, let's learn from each other!" After saying that, he clenched his single sword tightly, rushed forward first, and swung the white blade.

Seeing the sharp blade approaching mercilessly, Su Zhongming was shocked and turned pale, and immediately blocked it with his sword, but Shangyuan Hexiang's aura was overwhelming, and he lightly grabbed the knife, and then quickly dropped the second knife. Su Zhongming held the knife but He was not very quick, he swung the knife and moved slowly, and his moves were all in a hurry. He was about to hit Shangyuan Hexiang with great difficulty, but he was dodged.

As soon as he turned around, he was immediately cut with a knife, but fortunately Shangyuan Hexiang was merciful, only his sleeve was cut, and there was no harm to his body, hair or skin.

He glanced at the torn sleeve, heaved a sigh of relief, and returned the Wushi knife to Shangyuan Hexiang, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Shangyuan He Xiang withdrew the Wushi knife and opened his lips: "It really is a step backward, it seems that the master is only going to beat you at night."

Su Zhongming was dissatisfied and said, "I just need to find time to study hard!"

Shangyuan He Xiang snorted lightly, and replied: "You have never defeated me before, but now you have regressed. I am afraid it will be difficult to catch up with me."

Although he was ridiculed again, Su Zhongming was not even a bit discouraged, raised his chin slightly, and said proudly: "Senior sister, just wait and see."

Afterwards, the four of them returned to the mansion together, and the quiet night disappeared in a blink of an eye. In the early morning of the next day, after breakfast, they brought dry food, water...etc., Su Zhongming and Li Xuan set off again and turned back to the peninsula.

As soon as he reached the bank of the small river at the foot of Dingjun Mountain, Li Xuan was about to fill it with water, but he saw that there were already two people on the bank, they were the two Shaole men.The two men were also about to drink water, when they turned around by chance, they were surprised and delighted when they saw the two of them: "Benefactor?!"

Su Zhongming opened his lips and replied, "What a coincidence! You also come here to fetch water?"

The shorter man replied: "Yes! I was just thirsty! I thought no one else would come, and I didn't want to meet my benefactor! By the way, benefactor, didn't you say that you went to Wangling to collect some money for military pay? How did you come back now?"

Su Zhongming couldn't explain clearly, so he could only understate it: "It's hard to say a word, I'm afraid I can't finish it in a day." After he finished speaking, he seemed to think of something, turned around quickly, unloaded a burden from the horse, and threw it at the two men. .

After the shorter man took the burden, he glanced at it and wondered, "Grandfather, is this...?"

Su Zhongming replied: "Hurry up and wash your body and face, and then change into the clothes in the bag."

The two men looked at each other, and one of them wondered, "What is Engong asking us brothers to do?"

Li Xuan filled the water bag with water, straightened his waist, and said lightly: "Let's talk on the road." After saying that, he took his horse and left, Su Zhongming followed, and when he reached the foot of an old tree, he stood there for a while. rest.

After three cups of tea, the two men ran to catch up, and after taking a bath, they revealed their original colors.A shorter but fatter man with a slightly round face and thick eyebrows and big eyes is very joyful.The thinner but taller man turned out to have high cheekbones, thick lips, a straight waist, and a powerful appearance, a good material for a soldier.

Seeing these two people come back in a new look, Su Zhongming couldn't help looking them up a few times, which made the two brothers feel ashamed.The shorter man opened his lips: "Benefactor looks at our two brothers like this, really... I really don't want to be ashamed of the girl's family..."

Su Zhongming asked seriously: "You two, what's your name?"

The two men froze for a moment, and the thinner man opened his lips and replied, "I didn't call..."

Su Zhongming had no choice but to explain: "I mean the name!"

The two men came to their senses, and the shorter man said first: "That's what Engong said! My name is Zuo Dashu."

The thinner man followed behind and said, "My name is Peng Sandun."

Su Zhongming couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard the words, and said: "You guys, if you change your names, then you will match!"

Zuo Dashu said: "I think it's fate, that's why we call them brothers!"

Peng Sandun only thought for a while, then asked: "Engong, do you really want to save our brothers in Shaole when you come back this time? If you are serious, you should give up. With the strength of the two of you, you will not be able to save them! There are at least 500 officers and soldiers with whips!"

Li Xuan said firmly: "Even if there are five hundred enemies, I will rescue the Shaole people!"

Peng Sandun was very helpless: "Why should benefactor be so persistent? Shaole's royal family has long since perished, and Shaole is just like a perishing slave under that king's feet..."

Li Xuanmo removed Mo's front lapel, took out Tonghua Yundian, held it in his hand and said: "Because of this thing."

When Peng and the two men from the left saw Tonghua Yundian, they immediately froze.Peng Sandun blurted out: "This thing! I seem to have seen this pattern before?!" Zuo Dashu reminded: "It's a banner! It's the pattern of the king's flag used by the Shaole royal family!" Then he stretched out his index finger and pointed at Li Xuan, " Where did Engong get the treasures of the royal family?! Could it be...you are really tomb thieves?!"

Peng Sandun then said: "No wonder you have been away for so long, and you have only returned now, and you have not even seen the money used for military pay! Presumably the 'used for military pay' is fake, and the Taoist tomb is true! My brothers and I thought that the benefactor was the real one. Good man! I didn’t expect to be blind! That thing is not yours! Bring it back!” After saying that, he rushed straight to Li Xuan, wanting to snatch Tonghua Yundian.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Su Zhongming quickly blurted out: "No! You all calm down and listen..." Before he could finish speaking, he was pushed to the ground by Peng Sandun, unable to get up in pain.

Afterwards, the two Shaole men united again and waved at Li Xuan empty-handed. At the critical moment, Li Xuan could only hold the Tonghua Yundian tightly, and only used the other hand to attack and defend. Peng Sandun's arm pulled hard and pushed it straight to the left tree. Both Peng Zuo and Peng Zuo couldn't stand and fell to the ground.

While the two of them were struggling to get up, Li Xuan drew out his long sword and placed it in front of the two of them, making them dare not move an inch.

Su Zhongming managed to get up, rubbed the sore spot, and said helplessly: "I haven't finished my words, why are you being so rough?! If you get too rough, you will commit the next crime! It's a felony! It's going to be—behead—behead—— !"

Peng Sandun refused to accept: "You two are Taoist tomb thieves, why do you say that we two brothers are the next to commit crimes!"

Su Zhongming took it for granted: "You really don't know how to flatter! He is your king! You are so presumptuous, of course it is a felony!"

When Peng and Zuo heard this, they couldn't help being shocked, pointing at Li Xuan at the same time, blurting out: "He...he is the king of Shaole?! No! Impossible! The royal city fell back then! The royal family was all killed!" Zuo Dashu added: "It must be the big lie you spread to cover up the Taoist tomb!"

Su Zhongming raised Li Xuan's hand holding Tonghua Yundian, and asked: "Do you know the origin of this treasure? Without the jade seal by his side, it is like the jade seal, which is Tonghua Yundian! This treasure, Wang Wear it on your body all the time! It is an important token that symbolizes the identity of the king, do you understand!?"

Peng and Zuo were stunned immediately.

Zuo Dashu tremblingly asked: "Grandfather...you...are you really...our king?"

Li Xuan put his long sword back into its sheath, and said: "If you give me a helping hand, follow me to fight. After killing Kou Xin and rebuilding the royal family, you will be credited with first-class merit and given an official position!"

It was the first time they encountered such a promise, and Peng and Zuo couldn't help but rejoice. Thinking of the kindness of Mantou, they hurriedly kowtowed: "The grass people just came out to seek refuge, and don't want to meet the king, so they gave alms to the grass people! King! From now on, The grass people are willing to be your cattle and horses, and look forward to your horses!"

Su Zhongming answered for Li Xuan: "Get up quickly! We have to leave this place first, find an inn to rest, and then talk about business!"

Peng Sandun hesitated: "But our two brothers are fugitives, I'm afraid they will be wanted..."

Li Xuan stuffed Tonghua Yundian into his clothes, and opened his lips: "The two of you are from a mountain village, the officers and soldiers will definitely think that you will not hide in the bustling city, so let's go to the city." Turning around and walking, he urged Said, "Let's go!"
