The Proof of the Heavens Begins with The Legend of the Condor Heroes

Chapter 13: The Song Dynasty
Fang Hao suddenly took ruthless action and killed Lei Gun, the third in command of the Haisha Gang, in an instant.

Everyone on the field was stunned, as if they had not yet accepted this reality.

At this moment, the noble merchant was the first to react and said, "Lei Gun is dead. Let's kill these thieves together!"

"Kill!"

For a moment, shouts of killing were heard everywhere, but this time, the morale of the merchant ships was obviously higher.

As for the pirates, since their leader was killed, they had no intention of fighting anymore and they all retreated to their ships and quickly left the battlefield.

During this period, Fang Hao did not take any action, but instead started the "corpse touching" session that time travelers loved to see.

"After all, he is the third in command of the Haisha Gang. He must have some good stuff on him, right?" Fang Hao said with some anticipation.

Unfortunately, Lei Gun had nothing valuable on him except the sword that shone with a cold light and a few bottles and jars. As for martial arts secrets, there was nothing at all.

Apparently, these pirates didn't have the habit of bringing money or secret manuals with them when they went out to rob.

Fang Hao was greatly disappointed. The noble merchant took the opportunity to come forward and said, "My dear brother, you have great skills! We are able to survive today thanks to your help. What is your name?"

Fang Hao looked the other person up and down and said, "My last name is Fang."

"So it's Young Master Fang!" The noble merchant said with a smile, "It's a pity for a master like Young Master Fang to be wandering around in the underworld. Why not join the court and seek a rich and prosperous future?"

"Are you from the imperial court?" An inexplicable look flashed in Fang Hao's eyes.

In the world of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, the imperial court does not appear many times, but Fang Hao, who knows a little about the history of the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties, does not have a good feeling about the small Southern Song Dynasty court in a remote corner.

"I am Su Shidan, working for Minister Han."

Su Shidan, who was pretending to be a merchant, said, "Since Han Xiangjun took power, he has not only vindicated Prince Yue, but also initiated the Northern Expedition to recover the territory of the Song Dynasty. Now is the time to recruit people. If Young Master Fang can surrender, you will be able to ennoble your wife and children, and enjoy endless wealth and honor in the future!"

As a close confidant of Han Tuozhou, a powerful official in the Southern Song Dynasty, Su Shidan naturally has some vision.

Although Fang Hao had only struck once with the sword just now, the swordsmanship he displayed was unmatched by any of the martial arts doctors in the imperial palace.

More importantly, Fang Hao is young!

This kind of young man who is new to the cause and full of vigor is the easiest to be won over.

That's why Su Shidan is so enthusiastic towards Fang Hao.

"Han Tuozhou?" Fang Hao repeated the name in his mind, and he really remembered it.

As prime minister during the reign of Emperor Ningzong of the Southern Song Dynasty, this man did two major things. One was to praise Yue and disparage Qin. He advocated restoring Yue Fei's reputation and wrote a letter to confer the title of King of E on Yue Fei.

The second was to preside over the Northern Expedition. Unfortunately, due to a lack of generals, the Northern Expedition suffered a disastrous defeat and now he is probably not far from death.

"Although it's a broken ship that's about to sink, if used well, it might be able to become a help."

To be honest, when Fang Hao returned to the era of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, he was a little confused.

Because sometimes he doesn't know what he should do.

But there is one thing that he is similar to Guo Jing, and that is that he is unwilling to watch his country fall apart and his family ruined.

To this end, Fang Hao has made a lot of preparations, intentionally or unintentionally, over the years.

If he could get in touch with Han Tuozhou, it might be helpful for the future.

These thoughts only stayed in Fang Hao's mind for a moment.

Then he smiled and said, "I appreciate Lord Su's kindness, but I am used to the freedom of the rivers and lakes, and I am afraid I can't be an official." Seeing this, Su Shidan wanted to persuade him again, and Fang Hao continued, "However, I also admire Han Xianggong for rehabilitating Marshal Yue."

After saying this, Fang Hao slowly walked to the bow of the boat, leaned on the railing and looked into the distance. The pier of Lin'an Prefecture was right in front of him.

"Please warn Prime Minister Han to be careful of Shi Miyuan!" After saying this, Fang Hao suddenly slapped a piece of wood with his palm, making it fall near the shore.

Then he secretly used his internal strength, jumped up, and landed on the wooden board like a dragonfly skimming the water.

He then used the wooden board as leverage to leap to the riverside, and finally disappeared into the woods by the river.

"A true master!" Su Shidan sighed.

All the martial artists in the world who have not cultivated internal strength can be considered as inferior.

Most of those who have developed internal strength are second-rate or third-rate martial artists, and wanting to walk on water is simply a pipe dream.

Although Fang Hao is young, he can cross the river with the help of a small piece of wood. His martial arts skills are at least first-rate!
"This person asked me to remind Prime Minister Han to be careful of Shi Miyuan. Could it be that he really knows something?" Su Shidan said in surprise.

Fang Hao used the method of "crossing the river with a single log" naturally to intimidate Su Shidan.

He hoped that the other party would take his warning seriously and remind Han Tuozhou to pay attention to Shi Miyuan, his political enemy.

Historically, Han Tuozhou was suddenly attacked while attending court at the instigation of Shi Miyuan and was assassinated inside the wall of Yujing Garden.

After Han Tuozhou's death, the pro-war faction in the Southern Song court completely lost power. Until the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty, no one dared to talk about leading an army to the north to recover lost territory.

After Fang Hao got ashore, he soon arrived at the outskirts of Lin'an, but saw the dusk mist, the crows returning home, and the night had fallen.

Fang Hao had no choice but to find a dilapidated temple to spend the night. The next morning, following the guidance of the locals, he found the extremely dilapidated Niujia Village.

Afterwards, Fang Hao strolled around the village and soon saw a dilapidated restaurant at the east end of the village.

But on the tattered cloth door curtain were written the words "Qu Family Old Shop".

"This is it!" Looking at the dilapidated scene here, Fang Hao knew that something was wrong. He pushed the door open and saw that there was dust and cobwebs everywhere, as if no one had lived here for a long time.

There were no signs of Sha Gu's life in the house. She was probably too young and had not yet escaped from the foster family.

Fang Hao came to the back kitchen and fumbled on the kitchen board for a while. He soon found the iron bowl mechanism mentioned in the original book, and then he turned it hard to the right.

With a "click" sound, the kitchen wall opened to the sides, revealing a secret room inside.

Fang Hao looked inside, but smelled a foul odor. He used his internal energy to lightly flick his sleeves to speed up the air flow.

After a while, when the smell had dissipated, they walked into the secret room and found the skeletons of Qu Lingfeng and the palace guard Shi Yanming.

"Senior Brother, why bother?" Fang Hao sighed. In the end, he failed to change Qu Lingfeng's fate.

After being expelled from his master's sect, the disciple of Huang Yaoshi, the East Evil, longed to return to the island, so he entered the palace to steal antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and precious antiques in order to please Huang Yaoshi.

Finally, they were hunted down here by the masters of the Imperial Guards, and they both died together.

Fang Hao left the secret room and sealed it again. He then asked the villagers of Niujia Village about the whereabouts of Sha Gu. Finally, he found the young Sha Gu in a neighboring village.

Thinking that he still had to travel around the world, it would be inconvenient to take Shagu with him.

So Fang Hao gave the family some money and asked them to take good care of her. He would take Sha Gu with him when he returned to Peach Blossom Island.
