The dream of a lonely hero

The leader of the Golden Spear Society, "Cloudy Heavenly Lord" Wu Tianzhen, reprimanded the leader of the Seventh Branch and the Independent Guard, and the hall fell silent for a while. Wu Tianzhen said: "Military Advisor Lu Cheng has a point. Meng Yanchang is a disciple of my Taihe Sect, so I, as the master, should go to rescue him, and not move a single soldier from the Seventh Sect or the Independent Guard."

The leader of the Independent Guard, "Iron Leopard" Jiang Peng, said hurriedly: "Master! Lu Cheng is clearly making up his mind. The Seventh Sect is afraid of getting burned, but our Independent Guard will never stand idly by and is willing to rescue Meng Congshi with Master."

Wu Tianzhen felt relieved, but he would not ask the Independent Guard to take risks together, so he said: "Jiang Peng, are you the leader of the Independent Guard of the Golden Spear Society?"

Jiang Peng said: "Of course."

Wu Tianzhen said: "Am I the leader of the Golden Spear Society?"

Jiang Peng said: "Of course."

Wu Tianzhen said: "If you are, you must obey my orders. No need to say more."

Jiang Peng was pushed and didn't know what to say for a while.

After a while, the deputy guard leader "Two-Headed Wolf" Sun Ding said: "Kui Lord is right, but more than 70 disciples of my Independent Guard have followed Kui Lord for many years and have learned a lot of Taihe Sect martial arts from Kui Lord. We can also be regarded as lay disciples of Taihe Sect. Meng Yanchang is also my senior brother of Independent Guard. It is only natural for junior brothers to rescue senior brothers. I hope Kui Lord will help us!"

Jiang Peng hurriedly said: "Yes! Yes!"

Wu Tianzhen looked at Jiang Peng and Sun Ding with a sincere face. If he wanted to refuse again, he would fail their sincerity and delay the rescue of Meng Yanchang. He said: "In this case, let's go to Xijing together to rescue Meng Yanchang."

Jiang Peng and Sun Ding picked up their weapons and said: "Kui Lord! Let's go quickly."

At midnight, the back hall of Xijing Mansion was brightly lit. Zhao Guangyi sat behind the desk. The "Five Ghosts" Cui Yinpeng, the "Death-Calling Ghost" Gou Yinfang, the "Green-Faced Ghost" Qing Yinsha, the "Impermanence Ghost" Wu Yinzhong, and the "White-Faced Ghost" (one-armed ghost) Bai Yinluo smiled and escorted Wu Tianzhen, who was in chains, to the hall. Cui Yinpeng held the Caiyun Tai'a sword seized from Wu Tianzhen and said proudly: "Reporting to the lord! The culprit of the Golden Spear Society, Wu Tianzhen, has been captured. Please make your decision. Can you give me this sword of Wu Tianzhen as a souvenir of catching the thief?"

Zhao Guangyi said indifferently: "This sword is still useful to this mansion. You all should leave."

Cui Yinpeng put the sword on the desk. He wanted to get a praise and a huge reward from his master, but he didn't expect to come with high hopes and return with disappointment.

There were only Zhao Guangyi and Wu Tianzhen in the hall. Zhao Guangyi took the scabbard and pulled out half of the Tai'a sword. He looked at it for a moment, then put it back into the scabbard and sighed, "What a good sword! In my hands, it is just a decoration, a pearl thrown into the dark; if it is in the hands of Wu Zhenren, it will be extraordinary, haha! At the least, it can eliminate evil and evil, and do justice. At the most, it can lead the Golden Spear Society to enforce justice and eliminate violence and protect the good."

Wu Tianzhen frowned and said, "Bah! Zhao Guangyi evil villain! A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated. Today I fall into your hands. Kill or cut it quickly! Stop talking nonsense!"

Zhao Guangyi laughed "haha" and said, "Kill you——Do you need me, a third-rank official? Who are you, Wu Zhenren? You are a man of courage and courage, and you are a man of both civil and military talents. This government is eager to find talents, and I really can't bear to kill you. " Wu Tianzhen speculated, "You want to recruit me and make me your lackey? Haha! You are wasting your time and dreaming. I have a deep hatred for you and I can't reconcile with you. I wish I could eat your flesh and drink your blood. Is it necessary to waste your breath! Kill me quickly, and I will be a hero again in 20 years, and I will seek revenge on you!" Zhao Guangyi said, "Wu Zhenren, you are good in everything, but I can't praise your chivalrous temper. You always blow your beard and glare, slam the table, fight and kill, and you can eliminate evil and enforce justice with just one "beat" and one "kill"? You still want to die quickly, easy - easy, it's not difficult for this government to fulfill your wish. Do you think this is sacrificing your life for justice? Haha! Yang Linggong, the former leader of the Golden Spear Society, was smart all his life but was foolish for a moment. How could he entrust such a big Golden Spear Society to a traitor! "

Wu Tianzhen's eyes widened with anger, and he roared: "Zhao Guangyi, a traitor! I have always taken the word "righteousness" as the first priority to discipline myself and eliminate evil and evil. How could I be a traitor in the eyes of you, a traitor?"

Zhao Guangyi said slowly: "When you go to the underworld, Yang Linggong will explain it to you." He said to the outside of the hall, "Come on! Take the culprit Wu Tianzhen out and behead him for public display." Two yamen runners came in from outside the hall and dragged Wu Tianzhen out.

Wu Tianzhen shouted: "If Zhao Guangyi doesn't explain, I will die with my eyes open! ”

Zhao Guangyi waved to the yamen runner, who left Wu Tianzhen and left the hall.

Zhao Guangyi said: "Yang Linggong Yang Guangji has been very kind to you. He did not pass the position of the leader of the Golden Spear Society to his own son, but to you. However, you ruined the Golden Spear Society and kept talking about "death"! How can you face Yang Guangji in the underworld!"

Wu Tianzhen immediately beat his chest and stamped his feet, bursting into tears. He stopped crying for a long time, his eyes were full of bloodshot, and he looked up to the sky and said: "It's all Wu Tianzhen's fault that the Golden Spear Society collapsed and fell apart, Yang Kuizhu! Wu Tianzhen can only die to apologize! Come on, Zhao Guangyi, and see if I am afraid of swords and knives!"

Zhao Guangyi said: "Yang Guangji, Yang Guangji! "His horse trampled the six prefectures of Hebei and his spear picked up the thirteen states in front of the mountain. The reincarnation of Ran Min slaughtered 8,800 Hu in the blink of an eye." What a reputation, but in the end, he was blind and passed the Golden Spear to a "helpless Adou"! "

Wu Tianzhen wanted to die but couldn't. He was confused by his scolding. After a while, he said, "I am your prisoner. Have you had enough of your ridicule?" Zhao Guangyi glared and said, "Wu Tianzhen is at best a swordsman with the courage of a common man. A third-rank official of this government ridiculed a prisoner in his spare time and regarded this government as a gangster!" Wu Tianzhen was confused by his words and couldn't guess his true intention. Zhao Guangyi looked at him with a confused face and said, "Don't you advocate "righteousness"? This government will start with the word "righteousness". When this government sent troops to wipe out the Golden Spear Society's lair, Tianlang Mountain, you hated this government to the core. This government has no choice but to do this for the sake of the great cause of the Song Dynasty. In which dynasty or generation did we allow the existence of millions of civilian armed forces?How can I allow others to snore beside my couch? Are all the millions of disciples of your Golden Spear Society doing the acts of "protecting the country and the people, resisting foreign humiliation, eliminating violence and protecting the good, and doing chivalrous and righteous deeds"? How many disciples of the Golden Spear Society rely on the power of the Golden Spear Society to kill people, rob goods, and rob houses? As the leader, you must have heard of it. There are many gangs in the martial arts world, and which gang dares to help the weak and eliminate harm for the people, and be the enemy of the Golden Spear Society! Does the government's clearing of Tianlang Mountain count as eliminating harm for the people? Does it count as clearing the door for the Golden Spear Society? Extraordinary times must be used for extraordinary measures. When the two armies go to war, if this government identifies thousands of Golden Spear Society disciples one by one, whether they are good or evil, I am afraid that I would have been chopped into meat sauce by the Golden Spear Society disciples, and it is inevitable that some innocent Golden Spear Society disciples will be accidentally injured or killed. Is it wrong for this government to do the "righteousness" for the country? Besides, the "righteousness" you advocate is not wrong to help the weak and eliminate violence and protect the good, and to kill corrupt officials and bullies. This is exactly what the court wants to do. The "righteousness" of the two cannot but be said to be the same. In this case, why can't we join forces to make corrupt officials, bullies and gentry have nowhere to hide. " Wu Tianzhen said: "Since ancient times, the government and the green forest have been in different furnaces, and the sun and the moon are different. Besides, if you, a third-rank official, want to help the weak and eliminate violence and protect the good, you don't need the help of poor Taoists." Zhao Guangyi said: "It's pedantic. Everything must be flexible and adaptable. For example, this government is constrained by the complicated relationship and cannot bring a great evil to justice. This requires a brave and chivalrous man like Wu Zhenren to enforce justice on behalf of heaven and take the head of the evil in the dark night. ”

Wu Tianzhen pondered for a long time and said, “How can I be worthy of the dead brothers of the Golden Spear Society if I shake hands with the executioner who is stained with the blood of the brothers of the Golden Spear Society?”

Zhao Guangyi said, “This is wrong! You and this government have made peace with each other, and you have helped the weak and eliminated violence. You are not only worthy of the dead disciples of the Golden Spear Society, but also worthy of the former leader Yang Guangji who is in the nine springs. You are a big banner of the Golden Spear Society. If you die, this big banner will fall completely, and the Golden Spear Society will be completely annihilated. The century-old foundation of the Golden Spear Society will be destroyed in your hands! How can you face the spirits of the former leaders in heaven! As long as the green mountains are there, there will be no fear of lack of firewood, Master Wu, think twice!”

Wu Tianzhen thought for a while and said, “How to join forces? ”

Zhao Guangyi looked at him who had changed his mind and said, "It's very simple. You can't be an enemy of the government anymore. This government will not send people to hunt you down. You go and clean up the mess of the Golden Spear Society, be chivalrous and kill corrupt officials and bullies. If you and I need each other's help, you can send a message and we should help each other. Helping each other is of course a just thing. ”

Wu Tianzhen was in a heavy mood and thought: the conditions for joining forces have more advantages than disadvantages. It should be that Zhao Guangyi wants to let him go and let the Golden Spear Society go, but he is a prisoner. No matter how he thinks about it, it seems like a surrender. For the great cause of the Golden Spear Society and for the trust of the former leader Yang Guangji, he has to endure humiliation and compromise; he said: "I agree to join forces with you."

Zhao Guangyi said: "A gentleman's word."

Wu Tianzhen said: "It's hard to catch up. ”

Zhao Guangyi said: “Empty words are not enough.”

Wu Tianzhen said: “Clap your hands as an oath.”

Zhao Guangyi and Wu Tianzhen each stretched out their palms to strike each other.

Mingran, the "Iron Palm Zen Zeng" who was responsible for protecting Zhao Guangyi in the corridor outside the hall, and a dozen soldiers heard Zhao Guangyi shouting in the hall, "Come here! Come here! Capture Wu Tianzhen." They flew into the hall and saw that Wu Tianzhen had removed the shackles and foot locks, and was waving the Caiyun Tai'a sword to chase Zhao Guangyi. Mingran rushed up to stop Wu Tianzhen, and swung the bronze cymbals in his hands to fight with him. After fighting for seven or eight rounds, Wu Tianzhen was kicked in the abdomen by Wu Tianzhen's "Dragon Out of the Cave" kick, and fell to the ground and immediately lost his fighting power. Wu Tianzhen ignored him and rushed towards Zhao Guangyi with a sword. A dozen soldiers gathered around him. Wu Tianzhen did not dare to fight, and "Shua Shua" killed the soldiers with a few swords, making them dodge backwards, and took the opportunity to jump out of the hall. Cui Yinpeng, the "Death Ghost", intercepted him with a death umbrella and killed him in one place. Cui Yinpeng and the other "Five Ghosts" originally thought that they would get a big reward from Zhao Guangyi if they caught Wu Tianzhen, but they didn't expect to be rejected by Zhao Guangyi. The other "Four Ghosts" were unwilling to give up. "Soul-catching Ghost" Gou Yinfang, "Green-faced Ghost" Qing Yinsha, "Impermanence Ghost" Wu Yinzhong, "White-faced Ghost" (One-armed Ghost) Bai Yinluo, urged the boss "Death-urging Ghost" Cui Yinpeng to find out Zhao Guangyi's attitude again to see if there was still hope. Cui Yinpeng had no choice but to return to the back hall of the government office to find out his master's intentions, but he didn't expect to run into his old enemy Wu Tianzhen. More than a decade ago, in the locust tree forest outside Tuzheng County, Dingzhou, Wu Tianzhen was intercepted by the "Eight Ghosts" headed by "Death-urging Ghost" Cui Yinpeng, and almost lost his life. Tonight, the enemies met and were particularly jealous. After three or five rounds, Cui Yinpeng was left with three or five sword wounds, so he didn't dare to fight again and fled in panic. Wu Tianzhen was eager to save people, so he didn't chase after them. He climbed up the room and performed the light skill of flying over the land and over the eaves and walls. He jumped over the room and soon came to the back room. He saw three or five soldiers patrolling with lanterns. He jumped down lightly and hit the acupuncture points of the soldiers with lightning speed. The soldiers couldn't move or shout. He jumped to the door and split the door lock with the sword in his hand. He saw Meng Yanchang and the 72 independent guards "Golden Spear Disciples" who came with him were all tied up and imprisoned here. Time was urgent and he didn't say much. He quickly untied the ropes that tied several disciples. The disciples who were untied followed the other tied disciples. The 72 independent guards "Golden Spear Disciples" followed Wu Tianzhen out of the cell and came to the courtyard. Wang Xian, a military officer of Xijing Prefecture, led hundreds of soldiers with lanterns and torches and weapons in hand, blocking their way with killing sounds. Wu Tianzhen waved the Caiyun Tai'a sword with a cold light and killed into the enemy group. Wang Xian barely fought a few moves and nearly lost his life, so he ran away. The soldiers behind him fled in all directions. Wu Tianzhen led his disciples to rush out of the government office from the backyard.

In the early morning, the lights in the back hall of Xijing Mansion were dim. The red candlelight reflected Zhao Guangyi's sullen face. On both sides of the hall were Miao Yanjun, the right patrol envoy, Wang Xian, the military officer, Mingran, the Taoist priest Liangran, the Taoist priest "Zhanwen Daoke", Yanyun, the "Flying Swallow", Yuanda, the "Double Mace Taibao", Daguo, the "Iron Crutch Fanke", "Double Peng, Five Ghosts", Li Zhong, the "Golden-haired Kunpeng", Yang Jiong, the "Cloud-piercing Peng", Cui Yinpeng, the "Death-urging Ghost", Gou Yinfang, the "Soul-catching Ghost", Qingyinsha, the "Green-faced Ghost", Wu Yinzhong, the "Impermanence Ghost", Baiyinluo, the "White-faced Ghost" (one-armed ghost), all with their heads down.

Zhao Guangyi looked at them and sneeredHe said, "Haha! You all claim to be great martial artists, but how come you let the 'cooked duck' Wu Tianzhen fly! This government office almost became a ghost under his sword! What kind of place is this? This is the heavily guarded Xijing government office of the Song Dynasty. Wu Tianzhen is like a farmer in the market. Do you think you have the face to stand here in this government office!"
