Mysterious Martial Arts: The Record of the Swordsman

Chapter 114

Seeing that there were historical sites by the lake, Jiang Wen said nothing and refused to go any further. He dangled the wine gourd in his hand, and pulled Lin Zhennan to the escort agency.

Lin Zhennan was helpless, and only agreed to say that business is usually busy, and it is rare to come out today, at least to see the afterglow of the ancient battlements before leaving.

The two hesitated there for a few minutes.

At this time, the road out of the city was suddenly full of smoke and dust. Indeed, a group of people and horses galloped out of Fuzhou City on fast horses. get out of the way.

"Who are those people, why are they so arrogant?"

Jiang Wen squinted his eyes and looked into the distance. Normally, galloping around the city was for questioning, and this team didn't have a post post sign on them, obviously it wasn't urgent news.

This time it was Lin Zhennan who looked panic-stricken, and ordered Jiang Wen to dodge to the side of the road.

"Jiang Wen, turn your head and pretend you don't know me, and walk straight to the side."

It was too late and then fast, the galloping knights and a party of more than a dozen horses had already arrived in front of them, and they were leaping past at the same speed, but suddenly came back in a circle under the whistle of the leader.

"Chief Escort Lin! Why are you in the mood to come out today!"

The leader who came back from riding the horse looked very young, a few years younger than Jiang Wen. He was wearing a sky blue robe without a placket and holding the rein in his hand. Because of his long eyebrows and rolled his eyes, he unconsciously acted arrogantly and disrespectfully. group.

Lin Zhennan and his escort went to salute together, and unloaded the swords they carried with them.

"I didn't expect to see Shizi here, what a coincidence!"

The leader laughed loudly and pointed at the horsewhip in his hand.

"Since Chief Escort Lin is here, he can get Xiao Xu from the camp anyway. The urgently needed Gaoyao Baishi, Shexian Huangnan, Changyang Huangyang, and Haigong Wuli are all transported by the Laofuwei Escort Bureau. We must thank you in person!"

These words are polite, but they are not in the slightest to be rejected. With the appearance of the horse running suddenly, sweating and panting, it is almost impossible to see that it is thanks.

Lin Zhennan had no choice but to nod his head and said, "My son is so kind, so naturally I can't disobey it."

Immediately, he signaled his two bodyguards to open the way. Jiang Wen was also planning to sneak away and meet up at the bodyguard at a later date. With his identity, it was really inappropriate to have contact with officials.

But the leader had no intention of pulling the horse, and looked at Lin Zhennan with a smile: "Boss Lin, is it convenient for you to introduce your friends?"

Lin Zhennan knew that the other party had seen him a long time ago, but he just deliberately pretended to meet him by chance on the roadside, and then treated him solemnly.

Fortunately, he is mature and prudent, and he already had a countermeasure for the telegraphic transfer just now. He called Jiang Wen, who was unable to advance or retreat, and pointed to him in a Taoist robe and said honestly: "My son misunderstood, this is the one I invited to crown the dog." He is a Taoist priest who prays for blessings. He dare not talk about personal matters, so let him go first."

Lin Zhennan's mind is very fast, saying this is not only reasonable, but also shows that he respects the other party, and he said a hidden matter in a timely manner, no wonder the business can grow.

"The eyes are bright like lightning, the breath is long, and I think he is also a young real person with Taoism."

The leader glanced at Jiang Wen, who was dressed as a Taoist priest, and nodded without any doubt, but said abruptly.

"I also happen to need a Taoist priest to consult me ​​this time, so let's also call for a discussion!"

There are a few hastily built tents by the West Lake, and the people who follow the knights are divided into high and low positions. There is no seat on the north side, and the leader sits in the position facing the west. Sit east.

And because Jiang Wen was invited by a guest named Lin Zhennan, he could only sit in the company seat facing north, and beside him were two other young men who hadn't shaved their hair to do the work together.

This seat is very good, it happens to be able to quietly see the owner here——

Geng Jingzhong.

Jiang Wen had already guessed the identity of the other party, and it was really hard to believe that this domineering young man would have the heirs of Monk Zhixin and Zheng Jing to influence the future structure of the South and rule the political situation for nearly 20 years.

Thanks to the blessing of Mr. Jin Yong, Wu Yingxiong, Wu Sangui's son, was firmly remembered as a villain, but in actual history, Wu Yingxiong did nothing but "Princess Shang". Hanged on April 13th.

This matter was so unfair that after Wu Yingxiong was hanged, Emperor Kangxi often issued an edict to comfort Princess He Shuokechun, and Wu Yingxiong was "tired by the rebels".

But in the eyes of Kangxi, the little prince who jumped repeatedly in front of Jiang Wen belonged to someone who was not treated harshly by being shot for five minutes.

First of all, as early as the 12th year of Shunzhi (1655), Geng Jingzhong married Prince Su Haoge's daughter, and was granted the title of Heshuo.After succeeding to the throne, Geng Jingzhong, who was only 11 years old, created the rumor that Chenwei had "the emperor's clone and fire ear", and secretly deployed soldiers to wait for changes.

This matter, Jiang Wen may feel that there is an element of slander by the Qing court, but the second matter, there is no way to ignore it.

In the 12th year of Kangxi (1673), the Qing court issued an edict to withdraw the "San Francisco", which led to Wu Sangui's rebellion against the Qing Dynasty.Geng Jingzhong, who was the King of Jingnan at that time, immediately raised the flag to respond, using Fuming clothes as a slogan, and even joined forces with Zheng Jing of Taiwan to attack the city.

This act of seeing the wind and steering the rudder not only completely corrupted the southeast, but also moved the confidence of Shang Zhi, the prince of Zhennan who was hesitant to watch on the sidelines.

However, with the internal strife in San Francisco, the contradiction between Geng and Zheng, and the unfavorable war, Geng Jingzhong actually surrendered to Kangxi backhandedly, and defeated Zheng Jing and Shang Zhixin one after another as a vanguard, just like a loyal court official.

The repeated horizontal jumping of this hand was too disgusting, and Kangxi couldn't stand it at all.In the first month of the 21st year of Kangxi (1682), the chaos of the "San Francisco" was completely subsided. The scholar Mingzhu said: "Geng Jingzhong's crime of rebellion is greater than that of Shang Zhixin."

That is to say, according to the opinion of the court at that time, Shang Zhixin's serious crimes such as imprisoning his father for rebellion and repeated defection to the enemy were not as serious as Geng Jingzhong's "ruthless and domineering" Shang Zhixin. In the end, he was sentenced to death.

Combining his actions, he has the demeanor of "doing great things but cherishing life, seeing small profits and dying".Such a little prince who jumped repeatedly was not far away, Jiang Wen naturally imagined it, and couldn't help but take a second look.

"Master, you seem to be quite curious about Geng?"

Jiang Wen's sideways glance was so obvious that Geng Jingzhong noticed it, and he felt a little dissatisfied, but he pretended to ask the question naturally.

Although Jiang Wen was sitting with his sword undone, his martial arts skills were not in vain, so he turned a blind eye to the vigilance of the guards, and raised his glass and said sincerely.

"Your Excellency misunderstood, Xiaodao got to see His Majesty today, and he couldn't help but think of the heroes of the Three Kingdoms, so he lost his composure!"

Geng Jingzhong heard it vaguely, and wanted to ask which hero he resembled.

But he changed his mind and thought that the story of the Three Kingdoms is well known to everyone. If it is just a general counselor of a famous general, there is no need for such a vague answer.Considering his status as the heir of San Francisco, is it inconvenient to mention the characters that the other party does not mention...

It must be hinting at someone like Cao Liusun, so the other party dare not speak out!

Flattery is the best social lubricant, and the atmosphere eased after a few words.The other party's eyes were full of splendor. Seeing Jiang Wen's sincere praise, Geng Jingzhong poured his glass first, and said to Lin Zhennan with pride.

"Hahaha, Chief Escort Lin, your guest is also a wonderful person. Come, let me introduce to you some other distinguished guests today."

Geng Jingzhong raised his hand and said, "This is a master Taoist invited by Prince Jingnan's mansion, the head of the Qingcheng sect, Daoist Huilu, whose Taoist name is Changqingzi, who is known as 'the number one swordsmanship west of the Three Gorges', and who came with him The two master disciples."

It's no wonder that none of the people sitting at the same table had their hair shaved, and they were all Taoists.

Jiang Wen was shocked at this time.

Huilu Taoist humane name Changqingzi?I think Taoist Huilu hijacked Changqingzi!What a mashup of character settings!

Geng Jingzhong is really a little genius, to let Lin Zhennan be friends with people from the Qingcheng faction?
Originally, with the invasion of the Jin Yong Jianghu, many things were not quite right, and Changqingzi was Yu Canghai's master according to reason.The blessed Jiang Wen's eyes widened - could it be that one of the two young people around him is Yu Canghai?
"I haven't asked the two titles yet..."

Jiang Wen hurriedly raised his glass to ask, Geng Jingzhong regarded the astonished expression as an act of sincerity and fear, and he appreciated it a little more in his heart.

The two people present are very similar in appearance, and they also have the same gloomy complexion and gloomy expression. Although they are young, they are lifeless, and they reluctantly said politely.

"Chang Hezhi."

"Chang Bozhi."
