Volume 4: Heroes Shed No Tears Chapter 110: The Hero Loves Beauty
Outskirts of Luoyang.
In front of the desolate forest, covered with snow, Zhu Meng was perched on a big rock.
He looked decadent and thin, completely lacking the vigor and vitality he had when he rode a horse into Chang'an!
How could such a mighty "lion" be beaten into such a state of distress and helplessness?
The lion had already lost all its courage and was weak, but when he saw Su Weiyun, his eyes suddenly lit up again!
The flames burning in the cold wind suddenly grew larger.
Spikes was so excited that he almost shed tears. He prostrated himself in front of the rock and said, "Master, your friend is here to see you!"
Zhu Meng suddenly jumped up and hugged Su Weiyun. He shook his shoulders with his two big hands, laughed and said, "Good brother, you will come! I knew you would come!"
The cold wind was howling.
The three of them gathered around the fire.
Zhu Meng held the last jar of wine and took three big gulps before he slowly finished narrating what had happened.
——Zhu Meng rode alone into Chang'an and took Yang Jian's head.
——Zhuo Donglai calculated that although he came alone, there would definitely be generals from the Lion Hall to meet him along the way, so at this time, the headquarters of the Lion Hall in Tongtuo Lane, Luoyang would definitely be left defenseless.
——So Zhuo Donglai bribed Cai Chong, cooperated inside and outside, secretly sent out a surprise attack, and destroyed the Lion Hall in one fell swoop!
Zhu Meng cursed, "Zhuo Donglai, this bastard is really a character. I figured it out later: he deliberately let me go at Honghuaji only because I stayed because I accompanied you to drink and swear brotherhood. If he killed me, it would only make me famous as a hero and make the Lion Hall united against the enemy. At that time, the Lion Hall would become more troublesome and more difficult to deal with."
Zhu Meng took another big gulp of wine and said, "Zhuo Donglai released Zhu Meng but destroyed the Lion Hall! I lost to him, but I still have to submit to him!"
Su Weiyun asked: "The one in Tongtuo Lane..."
Spikes hurriedly said, "That man is Cai Chong. He bribed the people of the Lion Hall to rebel. Now those people are hiding in the streets, alleys, and houses all the time."
"They dressed up as street folks and market vendors, and set up their stalls not far from Tongtuo Lane. When you passed by, you must have seen people selling cloth, flowers, buns, pancakes, and candied haws. There was everything, and it was very lively... There was also a short man with a long face, who was selling che gao. He was Cai Chong!"
Su Weiyun smiled bitterly and said, "Is it true that they were doing business just fine before, but as soon as someone came into Tongtuo Lane and said they were looking for Zhu Meng, they would immediately rush in from the streets outside and kill that friend of your Zhu Tangzhu?"
——It was his first time to Luoyang and he came in a hurry. He found Tongtuo Lane empty and felt it was very strange . He never imagined that the peddlers selling things on the street outside the lane and the people passing by were all traitors of the Lion Hall!
The nail shoes said: "Yes, the hero's guess is not wrong at all. Cai Chong has killed Zhu Tangzhu and seven friends who came from other places these days."
"I am incompetent with spikes. I only... I only have the ability to save you, Hero Su."
It’s not that the shoe spikes are incompetent, but the lightness skills of those seven friends are not as good as Su Weiyun’s.
Su Weiyun pondered, and suddenly looked at Zhu Meng, staring at him intently, as if he had seen this person for the first time, and the first time he saw him drinking.
"Why don't you go kill Cai Chong and rescue your friends?"
Zhu Meng suddenly clenched his sword tightly, his expression lonely, with a look of despair and sadness, he said: "I can't go now. If I go, she will die!"
"who is she?"
Su Weiyun asked, "You didn't kill Cai Chong because of her?"
Zhu Meng shook his head, shut up and drink.
Ding Xie hurriedly explained: "Cai Chong has been in charge of the money all these years. He took away all of Zhu Tangzhu's brothers! So it's useless to look for him now..."
Su Weiyun ignored it.
——Zhu Meng in his eyes was definitely not like this.
If Zhu Meng knew in the past that the person who betrayed him was still waiting in Tongtuo Lane to assassinate his friends, even if there were thousands of soldiers and horses protecting that person, he would still ride his horse and rush in with his sword to kill that person before the horse's hooves.
But now he could only drink here, swearing, and being frozen like an old dog by the wind and snow.
──Perhaps this is the main reason why his disciples betrayed him.
Su Weiyun suddenly asked: "I just want to know, who is she?"
Dingxie looked at Zhu Meng, hesitated for a long time, and then stammered: "She...she is the woman that the hall master loves the most, her name is Die..."
Bang!
The wine jar slipped from Zhu Meng's hand, fell to the ground and shattered!
Spikes didn't dare to say anything more.
Su Weiyun's eyes widened, and she asked in shock, "Is her name Diewu?"
Spikes finally nodded and said, "Yes, she is Diewu."
Butterfly dance!
The person Gao Jianfei fell in love with was also called Diewu.
Diewu is also Zhu Meng’s favorite person.
Could it be a coincidence that there happened to be two different, very beautiful women named Diewu in Chang'an and Luoyang?
I'm afraid not.
——I’m afraid that the two good brothers really fell in love with the same woman.
Gao Jianfei was so distracted by this woman that he lost all his energy.
Zhu Meng fled in a panic for this woman and didn't even have the courage to stand up again!
And this woman even came to see Su Weiyun!
Su Weiyun suddenly felt cold all over. Blown by the cold wind, his arms were almost trembling from the cold. He opened his mouth several times but couldn't say a word .
It took a long, long, long time.
The three of them sat around the fire like this.
The firewood was almost burned out and Zhu Meng had already fallen asleep. This was the first time he had slept soundly in all those days.
It was almost dawn, but Spikes didn't have the heart to wake him up.
Su Weiyun suddenly sighed: "Has Gao Jianfei never been here before?"
Spikes was stunned for a moment and said, "Mr. Gao has indeed not been here yet, but the hall master said he will definitely come."
Su Weiyun nodded silently and said "hmm".
Under Spikes' surprised gaze, Su Weiyun suddenly took out a human skin mask from his arms, covered his face completely, and then wiped it with a little dirt.
When he put on the mask, he seemed like a different person.
Spikes said: "Master Su, what are you doing..."
Su Weiyun had already left, leaving behind a message: "You stay with Master Zhu, I'm going to Tongtuo Lane. If Gao Jianfei comes, I'll warn him!"
…
February 6th.
Luoyang City, Tongtuo Lane.
Tongtuo Lane returned to its peace, without a single person or sound.
At the entrance of the alley, there is still only that bronze camel, watching the changes in the world coldly, unmoving, heartless and silent.
But outside Tongtuo Lane, the street not far away was extremely lively and bustling with people.
People were coming and going. Some were singing, some were playing music, some were pushing carts, some were doing acrobatics, some were selling oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, some were performing swordplay and gun dances, and there was even a man performing a stone-breaking performance with his chest...
Of course there was another person selling Qiegao.
Luoyang City is already prosperous and bustling, this is nothing.
However, Su Weiyun looked at these people carefully and found that many of them were familiar faces he had seen in Tongtuo Alley yesterday.
He even discovered the hidden places where some people hid their daggers and short knives.
But at this moment these people could no longer recognize him.
Just as Su Weiyun was about to take action, someone suddenly walked over.
It was Gao Jianfei, he came as expected.
But maybe he was not in a hurry, so he arrived one day later than Su Weiyun.
Before Su Weiyun had time to rush over to stop him, he had already found a man selling candied haws and started asking.
"Is this the way to enter Tongtuo Lane? Is Zhu Meng, the head of the Zhu Hall, in there?"
