[Comprehensive martial arts] The bright moon shines on you

Randomly ordered a few famous local dishes, and while waiting for the drinks to be served, the young man in white also looked at the little girl in red in the middle of the field, and there was a look of interest in his clear and bright eyes. eyes.

At this time, the girl in red was talking about the deeds of the "Plum Blossom Pirate" more than 60 years ago, "Senior Wu Wentian, the head of the Diancang Sword Sect and known as the number one swordsman in the Jianghu, could not see the rampantness of the Plum Blossom Pirate. I once said that I would meet him for a while. However, who would have thought that the day after he said this, he was found dead in the backyard of his residence. There were no wounds on his body when he died, only the blood-red blood on his chest The plum blossom-like mark shows that it is the poisonous hand of the plum blossom thief." Speaking of this, she slowly sighed, "Master Wu is a generation of heroes with a heart for the common people, even if he died at the hands of the plum blossom thief, I I still think he deserves our admiration."

When she said this, everyone present nodded their heads.

"After that, there are too many people who have ruined the plum blossom robbery, but everyone who saw him died. Whether the iconic plum blossom-like wound he landed on the opponent's chest was a hidden weapon or a unique weapon is unknown. No one knew about it. Later, the whole world was disturbed by his despotic power, and finally an old man who had friendship with Tie Zhongtang Tie Hero found the place where Tie Hero lived, and wanted to persuade him He came out of the mountain to rid the world of this villain."

"What's strange is that this rumor has just spread to the Jianghu, and the notorious Plum Blossom Bandit who ravaged the world has really disappeared. No one knows what happened to this person until now. Maybe he was afraid of the iron hero Because of his reputation, he dare not show his face in Jianghu again; it is also possible that the old man succeeded in inviting Iron Hero out of the mountain, and the Plum Blossom Bandit was finally killed in the hands of Iron Hero.”

Speaking of which, the guessing of the latter ending is obviously more in line with the appetites of people in the Jianghu.So as soon as her words came out, everyone clapped the table and applauded loudly.Some high-rollers who made big shots also waved their hands generously and offered money as rewards.

The young man in white sitting on the north side had already served his wine. Looking at the excited crowd in the restaurant, a smile appeared on his lips, and he also rewarded the storyteller girl with a penny.

The girl in red finished telling the story of the Plum Blossom Thief 60 years ago, and briefly mentioned the Plum Blossom Pirate now, then slapped the gavel and said a concluding remark.At this time, the rewards given to her by the people in the audience had already filled a basket full of gold and silver. She took the basket with a smile and did not forget to go to the table of the uncles who gave the money to express her gratitude.

When he came to the table of the young man in white, the girl in red was still a blessing, and said with a smile, "Thank you for the reward, sir."

"Miss, you're welcome." The young man in white nodded slightly, and put down the wine glass in his hand, "I heard the girl's storytelling just now, it seems that I know very well about what happened more than 60 years ago?"

The girl in red frowned, with dimples on her face, "My family has been a storyteller for generations, and sometimes many of the stories I have told are recorded in my family."

"So that's how it is." The young man in white raised his head slightly, staring at the eyes of the person in front of him with clear eyes, and said with a smile on his lips, "I don't know how much the girl knows about this Plum Blossom Thief? Can I ask the girl a few questions?"

His eyes are too bright and beautiful, like a clear and deep pool of water under the moonlight, one can drown in it if one is not careful.Therefore, although he was just looking up and staring politely, the person being looked at seemed to be able to detect such touching affection from those deep eyes.

Under his gaze, the girl in red blushed slightly, but she still sat down on the table and chair opposite him gracefully, and said with a smile, "What do you want to ask, my lord?"

The young man in white took the jug on the table, poured the clear liquid into the cup, and the aroma of the wine slowly spread in the air, "When did this plum blossom thief first appear in the rivers and lakes?"

"The Plum Blossom Pirate actually showed his face in the rivers and lakes in the first half of last year." The girl in red took the wine he handed over, thought for a moment and opened her lips, "The first time he committed crimes, he chose ordinary wealthy households. Therefore, it did not attract the attention of the people in the Jianghu. In addition, two major events that shocked the Jianghu happened in the first and second half of last year. One is that Chu Xiangshuai and his old man went to the desert to order Shi Guanyin, the female devil who disturbed the Jianghu more than 20 years ago. The second is the duel between Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng, two peerless swordsmen in the Jianghu, who met in the Forbidden Imperial City. It is said that the former Nanwang's rebellion was involved. Therefore, most people in the Jianghu are focusing on these two things. They didn't notice the appearance of the Plum Blossom Bandit. It wasn't until the beginning of this year that a direct female disciple of the Huashan Sword Sect was murdered by him. Only then did everyone realize that the Plum Blossom Bandit who appeared suddenly became more and more rampant. With the momentum of a plum blossom thief, it was only then that the attention was focused on him."

The young man in white nodded lightly, brushed the folding fan with his slender fingers, pushed aside a few pieces of the fan, and interjected seemingly casually, "I just passed by Xingyun Village and found it very lively inside."

"That's because the owner of Xingyun Village, Long Zhuang, took the lead and gathered a group of young heroes, claiming to capture the mysterious plum blossom thief and eliminate harm for the world. Those who are willing to do their part in this matter People, all rushed to Xingyun Village. All heroes gathered together, the momentum is naturally extraordinary." When she said this, the girl in red was still smiling, and her tone seemed very normal.But for some reason, the listeners inexplicably sensed a trace of disapproval at the bottom of her words.

The young man in white glanced at the bustling Xingyun Village in front of the door, and his eyes stopped for a moment on the plaque that had just been hung up.The corners of his lips hooked slightly, and he put away the folding fan in his hand with a "swish", took a sip of wine from his wine glass, and then smiled slightly, "Forgive me for speaking bluntly, even if the Plum Blossom Bandit is so powerful that it attracts crowds in the Jianghu Gong. Why is Xingyun Village the person who takes the lead?"

His question seemed polite and reserved, but those who really knew the inside story would naturally know what he was asking.And the girl in red sitting in front of him at this time is obviously a knowledgeable one.After listening to his question, she smiled without any surprise, and said meaningfully, "Because the master of Longzhuang is anxious and righteous, and has the world in his heart."

The Plum Blossom Pirates incident involved not only Jianghu people, but also many ordinary people whose good daughters were killed.Logically speaking, for the encirclement and suppression of the Plum Blossom Pirates, it is the Six Doors who should really be in charge.And the one that is really suitable for doing this is the Yinyuanhui, which keeps the bounties offered by the big families and rich households, and who has no relationship with all parties and at the same time is involved in both the government and the rivers and lakes.But in such a situation, neither of the two major organizations came forward, but let Xingyunzhuang jump out to be the person in charge. The situation in this is a bit delicate.

That's the meaning of the sentence that the young man in white asked just now.Because logically speaking, even if Liufanmen and Yinyuanhui were not successful, they would not be able to turn to Long Xiaoyun's Xingyunzhuang.

Long Xiaoyun, the owner of Xingyun Villa, has a reputation in the Jianghu, but in fact, he is not always a good name.At least in the eyes of the respected seniors and people with real integrity in the arena, Long Xiaoyun is not so much a man who is eager for justice, but rather too hypocritical.Although it has been more than ten years since the fortune of Xingyunzhuang, and the owner of Longzhuang has tried his best to cover it up in the Jianghu these years, there are still many people who know about those old things.

Why did Xiao Li Tanhua's fiancée finally marry his sworn brother Long Xiaoyun?But there is something to be said about the transfer of family property later.Although it is said that "the kindness of saving a life should be repaid by the spring", but in the past and present, I have never seen a person who saved someone's life really let the saved person repay his entire wealth to him.Yes, it is true that Li Xunhuan gave up his family property at the beginning, but you are ashamed to keep it when he gave it to you?Not only did you keep it, you have changed the plaques on people's doors over the years, and you have deliberately tried to make people forget about this incident.It seems that other people don't remember, and I am clean.

Such a person, in the eyes of truly decent people, is the representative of a hypocrite with ugly appearance and hypocrisy.And his Xingyun Village has only been established for more than ten years, and it can't even be compared with a small family. Why should he take the lead in such a big event?

The corners of the red girl's lips curled up, she raised her hand to take a sip of wine, and said in a manly voice, "The officials of the six doors are all officials after all, and it is really inappropriate for them to lead the Jianghu people. The masters of Yuanhui don't know why there is no movement. Although they have ranked in the chivalrous list and kept the bounty on their behalf, it is said that the star masters are not very interested in this plum blossom thief. But those grandpas have always It's mysterious, and no one knows what they're thinking."

The young man in white was drinking wine with his eyes downcast, when he heard her words, he thought of something, and there was a slight warmth in his eyes, then he smiled and nodded in agreement.

The girl in red opened her hands and said helplessly, "The elders on both sides have no thoughts, so this matter falls into the hands of the people below. Just at this time, the owner of Longzhuang is willing to take the lead, so everyone will let him go. Besides ..." The corners of the girl's lips twitched, and her voice lowered slightly, "The one who went outside the Great Wall has occasionally sent some news back over the years, and everyone wants to see it. Long Xiaoyun made this matter a big deal. After Bao Dalu is in his hands, he will return to the Central Plains to have a look."

The hand holding the wine glass paused for a moment, the young man in white's eyes moved slightly, and he glanced at Xingyun Manor outside the door, "Then he is back?"

"Of course I'm back." The girl in red breathed out lightly, with a smile in her eyes, as if she had finally let go of what she had worried about for many years. She said these words comfortably and reassuringly.

The young man in white also laughed, and raised his wine glass to salute the young girl opposite, "Just for this, it's worth a drink."

The girl in red also smiled and raised her glass to drink the wine in one gulp.

She tilted her head and took another look at Xingyun Village outside the gate. Looking at the young heroes walking to the door, she suddenly smiled mysteriously, "However, Xingyun Village has such a big momentum now. , there is another reason."

"Appreciate further details."

"It is rumored that the number one beauty in Jianghu is now living in this Xingyun Villa. She also threatened that whoever can catch the 'Plum Blossom Thief', she will marry him with gold. More than half of the people in this Xingyun Villa, actually It's all about her."

No matter what she said earlier, the handsome white-clothed man in front of her always had a faint smile, his whole body was elegant and unrestrained, with an indescribable calmness.As if no matter what happened before him, with a kind of indifference and ease that was almost out of the world, the collapse of Mount Tai was no match for the glass of wine in front of him.

However, when she mentioned "No. [-] beauty in Jianghu", his expression finally changed.There were waves in those eyes that were always calm from the beginning to the end, as if finally something belonging to the world broke the calmness and cast a shallow reflection on the water.

Almost as soon as she finished speaking, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Xingyun Village, which was tens of meters away, and for the first time there was some serious emotion in his deep eyes, "You mean Yue is here? "

"Who?" The girl in red was stunned for a moment, watching the man opposite him turn his head, and his eyes fell on her.Her eyes were as clear as a ray of light piercing through the clouds, and even the faint smile disappeared. There seemed to be weight in those eyes, which made her feel the pressure in front of this person for the first time.

"Your Majesty, you have lost your mind. What the little old man's granddaughter is talking about is not the real number one beauty in the world who passed on the six sects of Taoism on the top of the Forbidden City and was personally approved by His Majesty." At some point, a The seemingly ordinary little old man in gray cloth sat down next to the girl in red, and tapped the cigarette pouch on the table lightly to call her attention.

The girl in red finally came to her senses, waved her hands again and again and said with a smile, "Young master, why would you want to go there? Who is that girl Ming from Wanmei Villa? A beauty' is the foster sister of the owner's wife who lives in Xingyunzhuang, her boudoir name is Lin Xian'er. Because she is really beautiful and has such a great promise of benevolence, people who come here respectfully call her "No. [-] in the Jianghu" Beauty'. To be honest, there is no way to compare with the one bestowed by His Majesty."

Although she was sitting in the restaurant opposite Xingyunzhuang, the girl in red said these words quite calmly.Others, even if the servants of Xingyunzhuang came here and heard it, they can't say that she was wrong.After all, Xingyun Villa and Wanmei Villa are not on the same level.

The young man in white turned his gaze around the strange old man calmly, and said with a slight smile, "So that's the case, I'm thinking too much."

After he finished speaking, he poured two glasses of wine, put one in front of the commoner man, then picked up the glass of wine in front of him with one hand and put the other hand on the side of the glass.After the old man also picked up the wine glass, he made a gesture of toasting with a smile, and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

"Thank you for the information, Miss." The young man in white nodded slightly to the girl in red, then picked up the rosewood folding fan on the table, smiled and nodded at the old man in plain clothes, then turned and left.

Watching that slender figure stepping out of the gate of the restaurant, he walked all the way to the gate of Xingyunzhuang.The girl in red opened her eyes wide, "He still wants to go to Xingyun Village?"

The old man in civilian clothes sitting next to him took a puff of cigarette, and the smoke slowly floated up in the air of the restaurant, "He stole it for the plum blossoms in the first place."

The girl in red immediately frowned when she heard the words, "But now the porter in Xingyunzhuang looks very low. I saw a lot of people stopped today. Can he get in?"

The commoner man smiled, "As long as he thinks, there is no place in this world that he cannot go."

The girl in red froze for a moment, then turned her head, "Grandpa, do you know him?"

"Of course I do, and I'm afraid he has already recognized me." Facing his granddaughter's curious gaze, the commoner man knocked the cigarette pouch on the table and said with a smile, "You forgot, in Jinling City Fenglin Ge, you have seen him once."

The girl in red thought about it for a few seconds, and finally realized, "It turned out to be him."

"There are not many people with such a demeanor in Jianghu..." The old man in commoner glanced at his granddaughter and teased, "If you didn't pay attention to her face, you should have recognized her a long time ago. .”

"Grandpa!" The girl in red blushed and turned her head away.After a while, she finally turned her head to look at the gate of Xingyunzhuang. The young man in white was indeed not stopped, and had already entered the gate.

"But, why is he looking for the Plum Blossom Pirate?" The girl in red murmured softly as she looked at the vermilion porch of Xingyun Villa.

"Originally, the old man thought it was because of the rumor of the 'No. [-] beauty in the world'. Given his relationship with the real 'No. [-] beauty in the world', he would indeed come over to take a look after hearing the rumor. He obviously didn't know it at first, he just stole it for plum blossoms." The old man in commoner took a puff of his cigarette, his expression somewhat thoughtful.

The girl in red blinked her eyes, "It's not because he is afraid that the Plum Blossom Thief who specializes in harming girls from good families will turn his mind to that bright girl in Wanmei Villa, so he might as well get rid of him first."

The old man in commoner laughed immediately. He took a breath of smoke slowly, and sighed, "Impossible. Not to mention the current one, even the plum blossom thief 60 years ago would not have the guts."
