Chun Feng Du Jian

Besides, Fan Yang, since Wen Heng disappeared, he has been sending people to search everywhere, but found nothing.There are many rumors in the rivers and lakes, but none of them are reliable.Fan Yang knew the inside story well, and secretly suspected that Feng Baoyi had plotted against Wen Heng. Xue Qinglan either fell for it with him, or chased after him alone and waited for an opportunity to rescue him.

Fan Yang sat in the Luming Escort Bureau for a few days, and his heart was so tormented that he finally couldn't sit still, and planned to leave for the capital by himself to find out what was going on.Just the night before his departure, there was an urgent letter from Yueying Mountain, written by Liao Changxing, which said that the Chu Family Sword Sect had widely distributed hero posts, inviting all the sects to gather in Hengwu Mountain on August [-]th to hold a "Test At that time, a key person will come out to explain the truth about the attack on the disciples of the eight sects after the Sword Discussion Conference, and return the secrets that have been lost for many years to the Central Plains martial arts.

Although no names were named in the letter, anyone with a discerning eye can see who this "key person" is.When Wen Heng was in Beijing in the past, he once said that there were ghosts in the Chu family's sword sect, but now it seems that they really belonged to the imperial court.Feng Baoyi did not come forward himself, but borrowed the hands of the Chu family to murder Wen Heng.

The Chunjun faction was greatly shocked when they got this post. Liao Changxing remembered that the Luming Escort Bureau was Wen Heng's confidant, so he hastily wrote a letter to Fan Yang, telling him the details, and asking him to go to Hengwu Mountain to deal with it quickly. .When Fan Yang got the news, he immediately packed up his bags and rushed to Tuozhou with a few good players starry night.

On the first day of August [-]th, about a hundred people successively came to Duruo Peak in Hengwu Mountain. Someone had already set up a round platform on the peak, and each of the eight sects occupied one side. The gangsters and knight-errants.The crowd gathered together in a dense crowd, and there were many discussions, but they were all guessing the "truth", discussing secret books, and arranging Wen Heng with rumors from nowhere.Fan Yang listened here and there for a while, but none of them were Nian Wenheng. He was so angry that his blood rushed to his forehead, wishing he could kill them with a knife right now, scaring these people to cry and call their parents to kowtow for mercy. Only then can he relieve the bad breath in his chest.

He looked around, besides the Chunjun sect, there were a few familiar faces elsewhere, they should be people who were rescued by Wen Heng in Xingcheng, probably because of sect rules, they didn't follow the rumors and laugh, but no one was willing to stand up To defend Wen Heng.

It was written on the invitation that the knife test meeting would start at Xu time.Today is the night of the full moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival. Seeing that Xu time is approaching, the sky is dark, a round of bright moon hangs on the mountainside, the jade plate is clear and bright, and it shines on Duruo Peak like thin snow.This kind of scenery is only once a year, and everyone is amazed. They even forgot to speak for a while, and they all turned sideways to enjoy the mountain scenery and moonlight, thinking that it would be better if they had a few jugs of wine to match it.

The moon climbed higher and higher, and the sky turned from dim yellow to dark blue. With a sound of "huh", the heat wave spread, and the four corners of the round platform braziers were ignited at the same time. daytime.

The audience was silent for a moment, and saw four men in black carrying a huge box that was half a person high and covered with a black cloth, flying up to the stage, and placed the black box in the center of the round platform, followed by a man in the sword school of the Chu family, hanging from his waist. The middle-aged man with the long sword stepped forward, clasped his fists in all directions, and said loudly: "I am Chu Songzheng, and I am the fifth generation Patriarch of the Chu Family Sword Sect. Thank you all friends for coming."

Everyone in the audience returned the salute one after another, and he continued: "The purpose of inviting you here today is to clarify the unfortunate attack on the disciples of various sects in the Sword Discourse Conference. Our sect failed to take precautions, and the traitors took advantage of the opportunity to enter and kidnap all sects. Hundreds of disciples are really to blame, so over the past few months, the entire sect has made every effort to investigate, trying to find out the truth and give everyone an explanation."

As soon as this remark came out, someone in the audience immediately shouted: "Master Chu, isn't it because the imperial court is behind the scenes to deliberately take hostages and lure us to send people to rescue them, so that they can divert the tiger away from the mountain and attack all factions in one fell swoop? Is there anything else to clarify?"

Chu Songzheng nodded and said: "That's right, but you must have doubted why these disciples were not arrested on the return journey, but were drugged and taken away on Siyou Mountain. What's more, they falsely claimed that the Chu family's sword sect was secretly colluding with the court. , intending to subvert the Central Plains Wulin."

What he said was the truth. After the incident, all factions had such doubts to some extent, but firstly, according to the surviving disciples, the children of the Chu family were also kidnapped by one party. Therefore, they only talked about it in private, and never confronted the Chu family's sword party face to face.Seeing that Chu Song is upright and not shy about it now, all factions feel that since he is so open and honest, and dares to say this in front of the heroes of the world, there must be some hidden secrets in it.

The head of the Boshan faction asked loudly: "Then dare to ask the head of Chu, what is the truth?"

Chu Songzheng glanced at the place where the Chunjun faction was standing, and said indifferently: "This matter has a lot to do with a new elder of the Chunjun faction. What Chu said next refers only to that wolfish and ambitious person, and has nothing to do with it. The meaning of the Chunjun faction, and friends of the Chunjun faction, please don't be offended."

Han Nanfu said coldly, "Who is Master Chu talking about?"

Chu Song said rightly: "It is the new Elder Lin Qiufeng from your sect, the one whose pseudonym is Yue Chi and whose real name is Wenheng."

He hinted at Wen Heng both inside and out, and everyone knew it, but when the name came out of Chu Songzheng's mouth, the audience was still like cold water pouring into a hot oil pan, causing an uproar.

Liao Changxing said: "Master Chu, many people here have witnessed with their own eyes that it was Elder Wen of our sect who rescued them from the prison in Xingcheng that day, and there were many disciples of the Chu family's sword sect there, but you slandered him with empty words He is a wolf with ambition, I am afraid he will repay his kindness with revenge?"

But Chu Songzheng said: "Shaoxia Liao, I heard that Wen Heng used to be your fellow apprentice, and I borrowed your strength last time in Xingcheng. The relationship between your brothers and sisters has always been good, so you can't wait for me to tell the truth. Standing up for him, such actions are also biased."

"Abducting the disciples of various sects to Xingcheng, and diverting the tiger away from the mountain, this matter is a strategy of the court from the beginning to the end, and there is nothing in dispute, but Wen Heng, who has made a name for himself by saving people, is not completely innocent." Chu Song Zhengdao, "He knew the court's strategy for a long time, and even drugged a hundred disciples who were attending the banquet on the night of the Sword Discussion Conference, so that the court's inner guards could attack them; when they all fell into the hands of the inner guards, he would stand up again and fight against them." One person saves a hundred people, benevolent to the eight sects, and wins a chivalrous reputation for himself. This person is not an upright and kind person, but a scheming villain who deceives the world and steals his name!"

This nonsense made up quite reasonable at first glance, and many people were fooled by him.Liao Changxing asked incredulously: "If you dare to ask Master Chu, what is the boundary of Siyou Mountain? How many masters were there on the day of the Sword Discussion Conference? Did no one notice?"

"He was willing to take the risk of going to Xingcheng to save people, and he was even seriously injured. This is a real confrontation with the court. If Elder Wen is what you said, there are many ways to make a name for himself. Why should he take risks? To do such a thankless and loss-making business?"

Chu Songzheng said: "Liao Shaoxia don't need to rush to excuse him, I dare to say that, of course there is evidence. Wen Heng's background is not ordinary people, his parents died of treason, but he took shelter under the Chunjun sect Keeping his name incognito, keeping a low profile. With such experience, he naturally loathes the imperial court deeply, and always has the ambition of revenge, so he uses the opportunity of the disciples of various factions trapped in Xingcheng, which can not only buy people's hearts, but also provoke the martial arts in the Central Plains to oppose the imperial court. In order to avenge the imperial court in the future. Think about it, everyone, when the time comes, he will be well-known in the world, and if he wants to rise up, how can he not respond to everyone?"

"Everyone, please think about it again. I heard from the disciples of our school that in the prison of Xingcheng that day, everyone ate porridge with Huagong Powder, and Wen Heng was among them. Why was it that he was the only one who recovered his martial arts later on? But he was powerless to resist until he was rescued? Naturally, he prepared the antidote early on, but pretended to miss and was captured, and when the reinforcements arrived, he came out to claim merit."

Every word he spoke to his heart, he spoke eloquently, and the people in the audience were shaken by what he said, and they couldn't help thinking along with his words.Just at this time, someone suddenly said warmly: "Master Chu is right, there is only one thing wrong - the antidote for Hua Gong San is indeed available, but because the medicinal materials are rare, it is impossible to prepare hundreds of people's antidote in just half a day anyway. , although Mr. Wen has acted inappropriately, there is no need to be too harsh."

Everyone followed the prestige, and saw that the crowd in the southeast corner had dispersed slightly, revealing the embroidered clothes and jade crowns, the tall and tall young master Pian Pian, who was the eldest brother Long Jing of the Swaggering Villa.

Chu Songzheng's eyebrows jumped, but he still maintained a serious expression on his face, and said firmly: "For several months, although our faction has been wronged and wronged, we dare not wrong good people. Wen Heng fought on behalf of the Chunjun faction on the first day of the Sword Discourse Conference. He didn't show up on the second day, but that night, the disciples of our faction saw him appearing in Siyou Mountain with their own eyes. Since Long Shaoxia doubted it, then today I invite all the heroes present to be witnesses, so that this disciple can confront Wen Heng face-to-face , and see what the truth is!"

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in the audience, and someone wondered: "Wen Heng dared to come? Didn't it mean that he was hunted down by various killers, disappeared long ago, and can't be found anywhere?"

Chu Song couldn't help showing a little bit of color on the front, and replied: "Thanks to the help of Guardian Xue of Chui Xingzong, our faction has 'invited' Wen Heng to Mount Hengwu."

There were whispers from the audience: "Chui Xingzong? What does this have to do with Chui Xingzong?"

A tall and thin figure walked out slowly from the shadow of the fire, and walked silently to the center of the high platform. After seeing his face clearly, Fan Yang couldn't help but cursed in his heart.

It's really Xue Qinglan!

Xue Qinglan stood beside the box covered with black cloth, his face was as pale as frost and snow under the moonlight.He lowered his brows and eyes, and his expression was casual as if he was a little bored. If he didn't know the inside story, no one would have thought that the person who was caught by him and sent to Chu Songzheng was actually the person with whom he was most intimate in the world.

Chu Songzheng gestured behind him, indicating to bring a witness to come up, but after waiting for a while, there was still no movement from the audience. He couldn't help turning his head and looking back in doubt, and asked in a low voice, "Where's Li Zhi?"

"Are you looking for Li Zhi?"

Xue Qinglan's voice came from the side, and he lazily raised his long eyebrows, showing an expression as if he was watching a show, and suddenly raised his hand to "swish" the black cloth on the box, and smiled softly——

"He's here."
