Chapter 31 Chapter Thirty
Ling Shan said: "Go, bring out the people in the house."
One of his men complied, rode his horse to the front of the house, jumped off his horse, and was about to push the door open.As soon as his hand touched the door, he suddenly heard a soft "嗖", the man felt a gust of wind blowing his face, followed by a pain in his hand, and a feathered arrow pierced his palm and nailed it to the door.
The man screamed wildly, but Sima Feng said angrily: "Shut up! Isn't it just an arrow? I'll cut off your tongue again!" The man's eyes turned black from the pain, but he knew that Sima Feng must do what he said, so he immediately Biting his lower lip tightly, he did not make a sound.
Ling Shan snorted, "Who is it? Dare to stand out in front of our Second Young Master Sima, are you getting impatient?" Although his voice was low, he poured his inner strength into it, and even people far away could hear him clearly.
Someone from behind a small hill not far away said in a drawn-out voice: "Hey, who dares to stand out in front of our Boss Zhong, his ass is itchy, do you want to get a kick?"
Another person said in a shrill voice: "Oh, my family doesn't want to find smokers, my family wants to find officials..."
A burst of laughter suddenly broke out from behind Xiaoqiu, mixed with all kinds of unsavory vulgar language and obscene words, it sounds like there are at least fifty or sixty people.Ling Shan and others didn't know when so many people came, but they were surprised.
There was also a burst of laughter in the reeds beside the river beach.Some people said: "Brother Zhang? It's a good arrow!" Some people said: "Brother Zhang, why don't you just shoot that kid's dick and kill him..." Then someone followed: "If you want to kill them together, That dead horse with yin and yang weirdness has to be the first to be crippled!"
With the sound of talking and laughing, dozens of people walked out from behind the hill, and more than 30 people walked out of the reeds one after another.The costumes of this group of people are really weird, some look like local ruffians, some are dressed as small workers, some are dressed in short clothes, some even wear robes and square scarves, merchants, and bookish people; A shoulder pole with a face full of alcohol; or a folding fan with an abacus in his hand, full of style; or a knife, sword, spear, or axe.There was a man who was five big and three thick, holding an iron tire bow, who seemed to be some kind of big brother Zhang who shot arrows just now, but there was a fishing net hanging on his bare shoulder, making people wonder whether he was a hunter or a fisherman.
The person walking in the front was in his thirties, with a beard on his face, but the place where he didn't have a beard was white, and he held a gilded fan in his hand.He was wearing a very expensive robe, but he opened his arms wide open, revealing the same white belly. He was grinning and full of viciousness. He carried a thing on his back that he didn't know whether it was a knife or a sword. Throw melon seeds.
Hearing cheers from someone in the room, a teenager kicked open the door and rushed out, jumped down the stairs in a few steps, and ran towards the person in front.The man who was nailed to the door by the arrow screamed, broke the body of the arrow and fell down the stairs, and quickly got up and ran in embarrassment.
Boss Zhong, who was at the front, pulled Xiao Jin and said, "Are you all right? Where's Xiaoyu girl?"
Xiao Jin shook his head desperately, then pointed to his mouth.Boss Zhong slapped him, untied his acupoints, and said, "What a useless guy, thanks to the fact that I have spent so much effort in cultivating you, you will embarrass me as soon as you come up." Xiao Jin swallowed a few saliva and barely resisted Said: "He... six or seven of them beat me!"
Boss Zhong shook his fan and scolded with a smile: "Damn, you dare to call me Lao Tzu in front of me, don't you want to live? Is that girl Xiao Yu okay? I'm going to expose your skin if something happens!" Xiao Jin repeated authentically : "It's all right, it's inside!"
Zhong Lao said: "You wait for a while, and we will talk about it when we meet this friend." Xiao Jin hurriedly said: "Be careful, this kid is very yin!" Zhong Lao said: "Yin? people..."
Sima Feng was very interested when he saw such a large number of messy people coming out, and said, "Hey? What kind of trick is this? Ling Shan, what are these things?"
Ling Shan frowned and said: "I don't know, young master, I don't know any of the younger ones. The arrow just now was very powerful, I'm afraid it's not for the idle people."
Sima Feng chuckled and said, "You fucking know how to joke. Such a large group of people get together, so you don't have to wait! Look, look, fisherman! Hahahaha...fucking..." Sitting up straight on the horse, he called out, "Hey! You piggies, untouchables! Which of you is the leader?"
Brother Zhang who was holding the bow's face darkened, he didn't see him move, an arrow whizzed towards Sima Feng's face.Ling Shan snorted angrily, took it backhanded, and shouted: "Bastard! You dare to shoot our Second Young Master Sima? Don't want...don't want...don't want to live...no..."
He wanted to say: "Don't you want to live anymore?" But the man shot at Sima Feng one after another, and the force became stronger each time.Ling Shan took it down with an arrow, but because he was riding beside Sima Feng, holding the arrow awkwardly, his wrist was hurt by the force of the arrow, so he couldn't speak well.But when Sima Feng saw him blocking him, he didn't stretch out his hand to block it, but said loudly: "Okay, it looks good! Shoot! Shoot them all, let's see how fast you shoot!"
Ling Shan was full of will-o'-the-wisps, and at first he grabbed with one hand, but later he used both hands. The speed of the man's shooting continued to increase, and several times he only caught the arrow's tail so dangerously that he almost let go.If he really shot one in Sima Feng's face, Ling Shan wouldn't even think about it.Ling Shan was sweating profusely for a while, and said angrily: "Damn it! Why are you looking at it, fuck me!"
A dozen or so of his subordinates shouted hurriedly and galloped forward.But the group of people stood in front of that big brother, and if they wanted to take him, they had to step over the heads of the crowd.Those people jumped wildly and shouted wildly: "I planted this tree, and I opened this road..." and other words.
The first person shouted: "Get out of the way! Don't blame the uncle if you kill him!" Seeing a person approaching him, he raised his knife and slashed down.The people below screamed "Oh", and ran away in fright.At first, the man spat in the mouth, only saying that these people are bullying and afraid of being tough, so they rushed in with confidence.
Unexpectedly, just as they all entered the crowd, the circle clattered and surrounded them again, blocking them in the middle.The dozen or so people raised their knives and slashed downwards, the crowd still ran around, but those on the left escaped, and immediately the ones on the right crowded up again, no matter what they couldn't cut anyone, they couldn't break through the circle no matter what.These people were not idle when they came around, some stretched out their hands to pull the reins, some pulled the saddles, some pulled knives to cut off the leather ropes of the saddles, and some threw hoes at people's legs... although their strength was a little weak There was no bleeding, but the shining knife was always scary, and the trousers of two people were cut and pulled straight to the thighs, almost revealing the heirlooms.
The dozen or so people looked at the people's heads moving below, and couldn't help sweating on their faces, yelling loudly, and their attacks became more vicious.The strange thing is that no matter how much force is applied, the speed of those people's advance and retreat also increases, and they can't always kill them.Everyone ran around in panic for a while, and then surrounded them laughing and joking, as if there were endless mice that could not be chased or killed.Sometimes with a single slash, an iron chain is put on the wrist with a "clang clang". In the meantime, some of the swords and knives among the dozen or so people were robbed, and they waved them empty-handedly, some of the saddles were dropped, and the reins were cut off, and they could only hold the horse's neck and spin around...
Seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, the man saw the right moment, stood up on his horse, and kicked one of the thin merchant-looking men, the merchant stumbled and fell to the ground with an ouch.Seeing that the horse's leg was about to step on him, the merchant suddenly stretched out his hands to support the horse's leg, twisted his hands, and everyone screamed in surprise, and overturned the tall Xianbei horse to the ground.
The man got up in a panic, but before he could recover, the crowd around him squeezed him to death.The man stretched out his hand to grab the knife, more than a dozen hands touched the handle before him, where could he grab it?Seeing all kinds of obscene, sloppy, and unsightly people clung to him with a smile on his face, he couldn't even stretch his hands and feet for a while, and felt that countless hands were grabbing at his hair, clothes, and someone else. Taking the opportunity to tickle and strangle the flesh... The man yelled in horror: "Help me! Save me! Oops... Who touches my bottom... Ah... Wow... Don't talk to me..."
The rest of the people desperately wanted to rush over to save them, but they were surrounded by the crowd, how could they survive?At this time, let alone chopping off people's heads with a knife, it is too late to chop off the hand that is stretched out to oneself.Amidst the screams, the man had been stripped naked. He saw hats, boots, and pieces of clothes flying all over the sky. The man's acupuncture points were sealed, and he was thrown into the air naked and rigid like an animal.The laughter around him grew louder, everyone scrambled to throw him, he fell down again and again screaming, was caught again and continued to throw, passed the crowd in a blink of an eye, and fell into the reeds with a bang. I can't hear the sound anymore, and I don't know if I am dead or alive.
The big brother Zhang also stopped shooting, swung his bow, squeezed in with all his might, and shouted with a smile: "I'll come too! Damn, I haven't played this kind of game of throwing people's sticks yet! "Everyone was overjoyed, and attacked the rest.Immediately, I heard several people screaming: "Oh, don't talk about your father..." "Fuck you, let go! Let go!... Ah... Damn, you are talking about me..."
After a while, the situation changed drastically. The people who were chasing other people everywhere just now were shouting and running for their lives, but it was too late. The dozen or so people disappeared in the crowd in an instant, and the horses that were not ridden were also led by others. gone.
Sima Feng was still watching the fun with a smile at first, but his face gradually turned pale, and he muttered: "Eh... Grandma's... Grandpa was teased."
Ling Shan had already seen something was wrong, so he didn't dare to take a step away from Sima Feng, and said nervously: "Young Master, what should we do? I think this group of people has a wrong background... The one with the abacus seems to be well-known in the Jiangnan area. 'The third king of divine fortune-telling', the 'iron abacus' with one hand was famous all over the world... Could it be that Brother Zhang who shoots arrows is the "Iron Hand Condor" Zhang Wuji who ran rampant in the south of the Five Ridges back then... the one who used a harpoon in one hand and played with a fishing net in the other..."
Sima Feng slapped him on the face with his backhand, and said angrily: "Grandpa! Whoever he is, if he rides on my head, he should be killed!" He rode his horse up a few steps and called Said: "Who is the head! Get out!"
Boss Zhong took two steps lazily, and said, "Who is calling me Grandpa?"
Sima Feng pointed at him with a whip in his hand and said, "Hmph, do you know who I am?"
Boss Zhong spat out the melon seed shells, turned around and said, "Does anyone know about this little bastard?" Someone responded, "I know! What kind of spring is his father, a dead horse in Qiansongyuan..." A person next to him answered. Said: "Black blind man, you don't know that you are going to die in Huangquan?" The man hurriedly apologized: "Yes, it is a dead horse in Huangquan."
Sima Feng said: "You are the local snake here, what kind of Boss Zhong?"
Boss Zhong laughed and said: "The ground snake dare not call it. I am very happy when you say that I am a ground tortoise. The tortoise king is 810,000 years old!" Everyone around giggled.
Sima Feng said coldly: "It turns out that you also want to share... Don't you know the name of our Wanyunfeng Qiansongyuan? Just you bastards and bitches, dare to fight with me?"
Boss Zhong spat out the melon seeds with a bang, his face was flushed, he couldn't say what he wanted to say, and he stumbled forward.The two people next to him rushed out and hugged him, shouting: "Boss! Boss, calm down! Boss! He's trying to provoke you!"
Boss Zhong struggled desperately and shouted: "Damn it! Let go of me, I'm going to fight him!" The people behind gathered around and said in a hurry: "Forget it, don't be as knowledgeable as him!" But relying on Lao Tzu's fame, what's the point of fighting against him?" "Yes, boss, forget it! Let's go, Cuiyue Tower, brother's village, if you don't get drunk today, you won't return!"
Seeing that Sima Feng had calmed down his roundness after a while, Xiao Jin also said, "Brother Zhong, this yin and yang guy is good at martial arts!"
"Huh? Not bad? Oh..." Boss Zhong listened, and slowly lost his energy, and walked back with everyone giggling.Sima Feng laughed and said: "It turns out that he is not only a bitch, but also an eunuch."
Boss Zhong turned his head, pointed at him with a finger, and said, "Yes."
Everyone around him giggled.
One of the servants hurried to the door of the study, and heard Madam Zhong laughing inside: "Master, you are really humble. You rescued Brother Shi Fu that night, and our family is full of praise for you." Xiao Ning said: "I'm ashamed. The situation is urgent, and I don't know Brother Zhong, so my words and actions offend me. I hope Mrs. Zhong will not be offended." Mrs. Zhong said: "There, the young master's martial arts is really admirable... What are you doing there? There are no rules at all!" The latter said to the servant at the door. The servant bowed and said, "Ma'am, there are two people outside the door, they say they are from Mr. Xiao's family, and they want to see Mrs. Master." Mrs. Zhong said: "Bastard, this is Mr. Xiao, how dare you be rude?" The servant found that Xiao Ning was sitting in front of Mrs. Zhong drinking tea in a big way, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes! The villain didn't see Xiao Ning The young master comes in, the villain deserves to die!" Mrs. Zhong was about to reprimand, but Xiao Ning said: "Don't blame Mrs. Zhong, she was being abrupt. She was lazy for a while and came in from the backyard. It's okay for the servants not to know." Mrs. Zhong laughed and said: "Mr. Xiao, what's the matter? Please hurry up They come in?" The servant hurriedly backed out, after a while, two people entered the door, bowed together and said: "Master!" They were the two brothers Xu Zhan and Xu Peng under Xiao Ning. Xiao Ning said with a stern face: "There are no rules, this is the Zhong Mansion, you should have met Mrs. Zhong first!" The two brothers of the Xu family were tall and rough, but they respected Xiao Ning and hurriedly apologized to Mrs. Zhong.Mrs. Zhong hadn't seen Xiao Ning's stern face before, she couldn't help laughing, and said: "Mr. Xiao's family education is really strict, what is it worth? Please sit down quickly." The two looked at each other, and Xiao Ning also felt that his expression was a little stiff, so he changed his position and said, "Aren't you two out there to inquire, why are you in such a hurry to find Brother Zhong and his wife?" Xu Zhan glanced at Mrs. Zhong, and said, "Master, you told us... Mrs. Zhong, in fact, this matter also has something to do with the Zhong family. Rumors are rampant in the Jianghu, and there are only three words: 'Lin Ai', 'Xiao Jin', 'Dongping Zhongfu'." Madam Zhong's face changed color, and she said, "It's really spread? So fast..." Xu Zhan said: "Yes, this news came from the White Horse Temple at first. Several sects that were destroyed by Lin Ai back then have already heard the news. We just received a letter from Feige sent by Xu Chi from Xuzhou, not only "Hailuo" Gang', 'Kun Shamen' and other gangs, even Sima Feng have come." Xiao Ning's eyes twitched twice, and said: "He's here too? Seems like a big trouble..." Mrs. Zhong said: "Sima Feng? Who is Sima Feng? I have only heard of Sima Linquan from 'Wanyunfeng Qiansongyuan' with the surname Sima." Xiao Ning said: "Sima Feng is the second son of Sima Linquan." Mrs. Zhong saw his solemn expression, and said: "I met Sima Linquan once, and his martial arts are really extraordinary, especially in lightness kung fu and concealed weapons. This second son's kung fu has been passed down to him?" "As far as I know, he is far inferior to his elder brother Sima Jie. I'm afraid he hasn't learned 50%, but he has the biggest temper." Xiao Ning stood up, turned his hands behind his back twice, and said: "This person is not yet Difficult to deal with. The trouble is that the Sima family behind him has a lot to do with the Jin royal family, and Sima Linquan and my second uncle are old friends. If he really comes out, I probably have to avoid it... and What's more worrying, if even he goes north, I'm afraid more people will follow..." Mrs. Zhong said: "Yes. The Sima family has a huge influence. If he makes a move, those who don't believe in Jianghu will also have to believe it. Such a flock of people, hey, it's incredible." Xiao Ning clapped his hands and said: "By the way, Mrs. Zhong, I still have an unfeeling request this time. I will go back to Jiangnan next time, but there is a batch of goods that have not yet been sold. They were supposed to be shipped to Changshan County. Mrs. Zhong also knows that there are frequent wars at the moment, and there are many princes from all walks of life. She is not familiar with the next point, and she is not sure about the official way, so she put it on hold...Brother Zhong is an expert in the underworld and the white way. It's not difficult to leave, if you don't mind, can I help you transport it to Changshan County? I think the commission will be good for June Fourth, we just want to keep our capital." Mrs. Zhong laughed and said, "Mr. Xiao, you really know how to joke. With the friendship between your Xiao family and Sun Jing, what goods can't be delivered? I want us husband and wife to go out for a while, and we have to give us the travel expenses. His temperament is really extraordinary, haha!" Xiao Ning blushed and said, "Madam Zhong..." Mrs. Zhong said: "Your kindness is appreciated by our husband and wife. However, you can rest assured. If you don't believe in others in Dongping, you don't believe in evil. Hehe, there are some things and some people that you don't know yet. In short, I also put a word here, I am in a hurry, and no one can try to please anyone here!" Xiao Ning cupped his hands and said: "I heard Madam Zhong's heroism earlier, and today I saw it! Since that's the case, I won't say much. It's just that this place has become a target of public criticism, and staying for a long time is not an option. Tonight, I will use a boat to send Master Dao Let's go, Mrs. Zhong is willing to take over for me for five days, and within five days, I have already gone to sea." Mrs. Zhong said: "That's natural, you just go, we will make arrangements here." Xiao Ning turned to Xu Peng and said, "Did you hear that? Why don't you hurry up and prepare the boat?" Xu Zhan and Xu Peng glanced at each other, and Xu Peng said hesitantly: "Master, people in the Jianghu have already spread rumors that our Xiao family has robbed Lin Ai's martial arts cheats, and also took away Xiao Jin..." Xiao Ning was startled for a moment, then sighed, and said: "This situation was actually doomed when we came out, and it's very lucky to delay it until now... However, I don't believe it, there are still people who dare It's my Xiao family's idea! Xu Peng, do as I say, prepare the boat, and we'll leave tonight." Just as Xu Peng was about to answer, he suddenly heard someone outside the hall laughing and saying, "Don't panic! You can't go by water if you want to go!" It was Boss Zhong's voice. Mrs. Zhong changed her face and said: "You stinky boss, where did you fool around just now?" Mrs. Zhong said anxiously: "Mrs., don't talk nonsense! I have guests here!" How dare you use your cronies to suppress me?" Just as he was talking, Boss Zhong strode in and shouted, "You friend? See for yourself who it is?" Three people followed in succession.Mrs. Zhong was startled when she saw her, she quickly stood up and said with a smile, "Ah, so it's Brother Zhang, Brother Wang, and Brother Ouyang! Why are you here? This is really a surprise!" Brother Zhang who shoots arrows and Wang San who uses abacus all greet Mrs. Zhong with smiles.Boss Zhong saw that Xiao Ning was also there, and hurriedly said: "Let me introduce, this is the well-known young master of the Xiao family in Jiangnan... Don't be modest, hehe, you are a master who is thicker than my waist even if you pull out a hair. The first is the "San Wang San", who fought all over Suzhou and Hangzhou with his "iron abacus". This "Iron Hand Condor" Zhang Wuji Zhang brother is proficient in all eighteen martial arts, especially the bow, knife, and stick. Absolutely, I am willing to bow down. This is Ouyang Daocheng, the 'thunderbolt hand'..." Then Ouyang Daocheng said: "Don't brag, I'm just a baker, I don't have anything to present." He is dark and short, with a goatee beard and a Sichuan accent. After he finished speaking, Xiao Ning cupped his hands solemnly and said: "I've heard about the fame of several old seniors since I was a child, but unfortunately I have never had the chance to meet them. It is really a blessing in this life to meet three of them at the same time today! Senior Ouyang's 'Iron Shirt Skill' It is unique from 'Broken Wind Palm', and forms a school of its own, which I have admired for a long time." Ouyang Daocheng snorted, and said slowly: "What do you know? My three-legged cat kung fu, a savage outside the mountain, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch Mr. Xiao's eyes. It's something unique, don't talk nonsense if you haven't seen it before." Qing Gao, who was discriminated against because of his poor birth, looked down on the sons of the big family the most. Seeing Xiao Ning's grandeur, he didn't want to get close to him, and immediately pushed back honestly. Boss Zhong said angrily: "You are so fucking old, you haven't seen each other for a few years, and you're just going to show me your face when you come here, right? I'll show you my face at the wine table later!" Ouyang Daocheng rolled his eyes , was about to quarrel with him, Xiao Ning smiled and said: "Senior Ouyang misunderstood, I have indeed seen the martial arts of Senior Ouyang, it's just that Senior Ouyang is a noble person who forgets things." Ouyang Daocheng was stunned and asked, "What place?" "White Horse Temple." Ouyang Daocheng frowned tightly, with a hesitant look on his face, and he said after a long while: "You are a lay disciple of the White Horse Temple? But it's not right, I consulted Master Lin Jin at the White Horse Temple back then, but... it was all because of him In the secret room, no other monks saw it." Xiao Ning said: "I am not a monk, nor a lay disciple of the White Horse Temple. I am the tea-pouring boy in front of Master Lin Jin, have you forgotten, senior?" Ouyang Daocheng slapped his forehead suddenly, and said in amazement: "You are the boy watching tea?" He looked Xiao Ning up and down for a long time, and murmured: "That's right... I remembered, you were... just then... Are you in your teens? No wonder no wonder... no wonder you know my family background. I didn't expect you, the son of the Xiao family, to be the person Master Lin Jin admired the most..." Xiao Ning smiled lightly, and said: "It's just Master Lin Jin's love that was wrong, I'm ashamed to take it." Ouyang Daocheng kept saying: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it... No, no, since Master Lin Jin said so, he would never be wrong... Could his words be wrong? I just offended the old man!" Boss Zhong chuckled and said, "Look, you old tortoise, my guests here are not ordinary people. You have a fucking bad temper and dare to... sit here, sit down! Hey, ma'am, Why are you still sitting here, go and get the good tea that Lao Tzu treasured!" Mrs. Zhong glanced at him, smiled at everyone, and said, "My husband can't speak, everyone knows that, please forgive me." She went outside to prepare tea. After everyone was seated, Mr. Zhong said, "Brother Xiao, what did you just say about Ma Feng, haha, their family has nothing to do with your family, right?" Xiao Ning said: "That's not true. Senior Sima Linquan currently has an idle job in the military and horse department of the court, and my second uncle can be regarded as a colleague." Boss Zhong frowned and said: "He is such a character, why does he go to serve as an official in the military department? The people in power in the Jin Kingdom are all bastards, except for chewing tongues and brothers killing each other, there is no bullshit! It hurts me! All the rivers and mountains are fucking lost! A dead horse can still be an official in the middle, which shows that the character is not very good. Since it has nothing to do with you, then I can breathe a sigh of relief, otherwise I don’t know how to explain it to you, haha ,Ha ha!" Wang San, Zhang Wuji and others all laughed along.Xiao Ning said curiously: "I don't understand, why is it related to me, Brother Zhong is hard to explain?" Zhong Lao said: "To tell you the truth, on the river beach just now, that kid, Si Ma Crazy, and that round bald donkey from White Horse Temple were robbing Xiao Jin dog by dog." Xiao Ning's eyes flashed brightly, and he murmured: "It's so fast..." Zhong Lao said: "That roundness is really useless. After a few encounters, he was chopped down by the dead horse, and the few people who came with him were all dead. Brother, you haven't seen it, that dead horse is crazy. Sure enough, he is as his name suggests, he is really a lunatic, killing people is like fighting a cock and a dog. That posture, looks angry, thinks, is cold-hearted, right?" Zhang Sandao: "Exactly. This kid doesn't know how arrogant he is in Jiangnan, and he doesn't take human life seriously. Brother Xiao didn't see it. His subordinates surrounded people to kill, and he actually helped the people who were killed inside to cheer and cheer, reminding them How to kill one's own people is actually just wanting to watch more killing scenes. It's really not something people can do. His father, Sima Linquan, is probably not much better." Xiao Ning said: "I have heard about Sima Feng's behavior in Jiangnan for a long time. It is not uncommon for his family to disregard human life. In Jiangnan, his father can still restrain him a little bit. This time going north, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it." I'm getting scrupled. After talking for a long time, I think, maybe Sima Feng has learned his lesson by now, right?" Boss Zhong said triumphantly: "Just kidding! On Lao Tzu's territory, he dares to be so tyrannical. If I don't teach him a lesson, how will Lao Tzu mess around in the world in the future? Just a few brothers arrived and helped me clean up his men , He, I can't give it to other people." At this point, Mrs. Zhong ordered someone to serve tea, and she was a little worried after hearing this: "You are talking big again. The Sima family is very skilled, how did you fight him?" Zhong Lao said: "Awesome? Hehe, the sword technique is powerful, but this kid has already been hollowed out by wine and sex, is there any use for it? I haven't made a real move yet, and after only thirty strokes, I broke his sword But his father is also considered a character, so he didn't bother him anymore. But the subordinate next to him seems to be from the Kongtong faction... I remember the nickname is Smiling Mountain Wolf, and he was ruthless and fast. I’m too lazy to bother, I had a good fight with him, unloaded his arms, and see how he will behave like a mountain wolf in the future, haha!” Xiao Ning hurriedly said: "Brother Zhong didn't kill him, did he?" Zhong Lao said: "No! Killing such a person is dirty with Lao Tzu's sword. I ordered people to use broken fishing nets to catch Sima Feng and his men, throw them into the boat, and float down the current. Let's see his own luck." Mrs. Zhong said angrily: "Why are you so casual? If so, we will have a deep hatred with the Sima family!" Boss Zhong widened his eyes and said, "Am I afraid of him?" Xiao Ning said: "Don't worry, Mrs. Zhong, the Sima family has no power in Jiangbei at all, and it is impossible to fight against Brother Zhong. Besides, the court struggles in the Jin Dynasty are intensifying, Xuzhou Inspector Huan Wenheng is gradually gaining the support of the major families, In the near future, it is possible to take control of the government. He and Lord Yin Hao, who are supported by the Sima family, are deadly enemies. Once he gains power, I am afraid that the life of the Sima family will be difficult." Zhong Lao said: "Hey, brother Xiao is worthy of being your son, and knows the inside story that we people will never know... Huan Wen is a character. If the Jin Kingdom is to be revived, it depends on him. Look at Mr. Xiao's posture... you guys Do you support the Evergrande people?" Xiao Ning picked up the teacup to drink tea, and said solemnly: "Brother Zhong is joking. My family has been in business for generations, not involved in politics. Regardless of which side or faction, as long as there is serious business to do, they are all guests of our Xiao family." "Hehe, you can really talk! This is good, this is amazing, just like me, I can be a tortoise with peace of mind, and I won't fall for ten thousand years, hahahaha!" Boss Zhong laughed for a while, seeing Mrs. Zhong staring at him with a sullen face, he hurriedly closed With a smile, he said seriously: "Stop joking, everyone is talking about business, ahem... I heard a few words just now, Brother Xiao said it well, this dead horse madness has come, and other messy people don't know how many people have left before." Come on. Although Lao Tzu is a coward, no one dares to overwhelm me. Besides, there are so many brothers who are here to help. But it is easy to hide a spear and it is difficult to guard against it. It seems that today, Xiao Jin and the two of them were killed as soon as they went out. Catch it right away, damn it, there are countless pairs of eyes staring at me around the mansion. Living here for a long time is not an option." Xiao Ning said: "Exactly. So I want to take them away as soon as possible. It's best to leave tonight." Wang Sandao: "How does Mr. Xiao want to go?" Xiao Ning said: "I have just discussed it with Mrs. Zhong, and it should be safer to go by sea. The merchant ship I am using will go east, pass through Zhu'a and Le'an counties, go to Gaomi County, and take a sea boat to Kuaiji." Wang San said with a smile: "Young Master Xiao has a good plan, but now Boss Zhong's house is surrounded by people, and Young Master Xiao's own fleet, isn't it the same? There are two theories about the whereabouts of Master Ai's martial arts. One is that it fell into the hands of Boss Zhong, and the other is the Xiao family. Mr. Xiao, you don't seem to believe it. I also know that with your power, no one can do it. Frankly monitor your mansion, but your fleet is different. Would you like to try to mobilize a few ships, Mr. Xiao, to see if they are really safe and sound?" Xiao Ning pondered for a while, then sighed: "That's right, what Senior said is very true. If I'm as inseparable as Boss Zhong, it's inevitable to monitor the fleet. It's just... staying here is not a solution after all." Wang Sandao: "I have a question, I don't know if I should ask it or not?" Xiao Ning cupped his hands and said: "Senior, please tell me, I will definitely answer if I can answer." Wang Sandao: "Boss Zhong and I have been friends for decades, and I know his temper. The reason why he is willing to take the risk of confronting so many martial artists and protect Xiao Jin and others is out of loyalty. But what Young Master Xiao did... …Excuse me, I really don’t understand why.” After saying this, he folded his arms and looked at Xiao Ning indifferently.The room fell silent for a moment, and everyone stared at Xiao Ning to see how he would answer. Xiao Ning smiled lightly, and said: "Senior, I understand what you mean. I'm not afraid of your jokes. If I really do this, not only will I face the pursuit of people in the Jianghu, but even my family's strictness may also kill me. Expelled from the house... Why should I, Xiao Ning, risk my life to help such a stranger?" He paused for a while, then stood up suddenly, looked around the crowd, and said proudly: "I can't give any reason, and I don't want to say it. What I want to do is neither in the interests of doing business, nor in line with the filial piety my father wants. It's really something that even I can't understand, so...it can't be explained by words. It doesn't matter whether you believe me or not, seniors, the matter is in front of you. I, Xiao Ning, have grown up so much, I don't know how to write escape words !" Zhang Wuji clapped his hands and laughed, "Okay! He really is a man! Although there are tens of thousands of people, I will go! Brother Xiao, don't be offended, we brothers have heard Boss Zhong talk about you on the way, if you have any other thoughts, You can do it a long time ago, so why wait until now? The youngest asked this question just to try how the Xiao Brothers would respond. I didn’t expect that it would be so seemingly simple, but in fact it was so heroic. Our brothers were convinced. !" Wang San also said: "That's right, brother Xiao, don't take offense. We old guys are just so annoying, haha, haha!" Boss Zhong jumped up and laughed and scolded: "Damn it, you old turtles, are you still doubting Lao Tzu's vision? I have already said that this brother Xiao is a master disciple taught by Master Lin Jin, and there are still mistakes. ?" Xiao Ning cupped his hands and said: "How dare you! I am really grateful for the trust of all seniors. Judging from the current situation, do you have any good strategies? I am all ears." Zhong Lao said: "Hey, Shanren has his own clever plan, it depends on whether Brother Xiao is willing to do it! Come on, sit down and drink tea and talk slowly!" He picked up a cup of tea, took a full sip, and said: "Hey, you old tortoises who haven't been out of the mountain for more than ten years, what are you doing here suddenly? Do you want to beat me up?" Wang Sandao: "How dare you hit your autumn wind, it's good if you don't get hit by you. We... have nothing to do. Seeing the recent excitement in the rivers and lakes, we also came here to meet a friend like Lin Ai. Master related to the brat." Boss Zhong said loudly: "Hey! You are also joining in the fun? The water here is very deep, be careful that you won't get up if you go down!" Zhang Wuji said: "Don't be afraid, just take a look, don't you guys want to do something? Hehe, it's to watch the fun, not join in." Zhong Lao said: "That's about the same. Anyway, take care of your old arms and legs, and you won't know if someone cuts them off. By the way, do you know him?" "Don't say we know each other, I've never met before." Wang San replied honestly. "Don't say I've met him once, I've never heard anyone say what he looks like!" Zhang Wuji added, spreading his hands. "Then there's no use for you running here!" Boss Zhong slapped the table, and said with a high air: "I haven't seen it before, I haven't heard of it, so I just followed others and ran around, huh? You old guys are Are you stupid?" Xiao Ning's heart skipped a beat suddenly. Wang San, Zhang Wuji, and Ouyang Daocheng shook their heads solemnly together. Wang San smiled and said, "Isn't it easy? As long as you keep an eye on your surname Zhong and Xiao, then Where else can the boy run?" Xiao Ning suddenly realized, and raised his forehead with his hands, he let out a long breath, and said, "I'm really a dreamer."
One of the servants hurried to the door of the study, and heard Madam Zhong laughing inside: "Master, you are really humble. You rescued Brother Shi Fu that night, and our family is full of praise for you." Xiao Ning said: "I'm ashamed. The situation is urgent, and I don't know Brother Zhong, so my words and actions offend me. I hope Mrs. Zhong will not be offended." Mrs. Zhong said: "There, the young master's martial arts is really admirable... What are you doing there? There are no rules at all!" The latter said to the servant at the door. The servant bowed and said, "Ma'am, there are two people outside the door, they say they are from Mr. Xiao's family, and they want to see Mrs. Master." Mrs. Zhong said: "Bastard, this is Mr. Xiao, how dare you be rude?" The servant found that Xiao Ning was sitting in front of Mrs. Zhong drinking tea in a big way, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes! The villain didn't see Xiao Ning The young master comes in, the villain deserves to die!" Mrs. Zhong was about to reprimand, but Xiao Ning said: "Don't blame Mrs. Zhong, she was being abrupt. She was lazy for a while and came in from the backyard. It's okay for the servants not to know." Mrs. Zhong laughed and said: "Mr. Xiao, what's the matter? Please hurry up They come in?" The servant hurriedly backed out, after a while, two people entered the door, bowed together and said: "Master!" They were the two brothers Xu Zhan and Xu Peng under Xiao Ning. Xiao Ning said with a stern face: "There are no rules, this is the Zhong Mansion, you should have met Mrs. Zhong first!" The two brothers of the Xu family were tall and rough, but they respected Xiao Ning and hurriedly apologized to Mrs. Zhong.Mrs. Zhong hadn't seen Xiao Ning's stern face before, she couldn't help laughing, and said: "Mr. Xiao's family education is really strict, what is it worth? Please sit down quickly." The two looked at each other, and Xiao Ning also felt that his expression was a little stiff, so he changed his position and said, "Aren't you two out there to inquire, why are you in such a hurry to find Brother Zhong and his wife?" Xu Zhan glanced at Mrs. Zhong, and said, "Master, you told us... Mrs. Zhong, in fact, this matter also has something to do with the Zhong family. Rumors are rampant in the Jianghu, and there are only three words: 'Lin Ai', 'Xiao Jin', 'Dongping Zhongfu'." Madam Zhong's face changed color, and she said, "It's really spread? So fast..." Xu Zhan said: "Yes, this news came from the White Horse Temple at first. Several sects that were destroyed by Lin Ai back then have already heard the news. We just received a letter from Feige sent by Xu Chi from Xuzhou, not only "Hailuo" Gang', 'Kun Shamen' and other gangs, even Sima Feng have come." Xiao Ning's eyes twitched twice, and said: "He's here too? Seems like a big trouble..." Mrs. Zhong said: "Sima Feng? Who is Sima Feng? I have only heard of Sima Linquan from 'Wanyunfeng Qiansongyuan' with the surname Sima." Xiao Ning said: "Sima Feng is the second son of Sima Linquan." Mrs. Zhong saw his solemn expression, and said: "I met Sima Linquan once, and his martial arts are really extraordinary, especially in lightness kung fu and concealed weapons. This second son's kung fu has been passed down to him?" "As far as I know, he is far inferior to his elder brother Sima Jie. I'm afraid he hasn't learned 50%, but he has the biggest temper." Xiao Ning stood up, turned his hands behind his back twice, and said: "This person is not yet Difficult to deal with. The trouble is that the Sima family behind him has a lot to do with the Jin royal family, and Sima Linquan and my second uncle are old friends. If he really comes out, I probably have to avoid it... and What's more worrying, if even he goes north, I'm afraid more people will follow..." Mrs. Zhong said: "Yes. The Sima family has a huge influence. If he makes a move, those who don't believe in Jianghu will also have to believe it. Such a flock of people, hey, it's incredible." Xiao Ning clapped his hands and said: "By the way, Mrs. Zhong, I still have an unfeeling request this time. I will go back to Jiangnan next time, but there is a batch of goods that have not yet been sold. They were supposed to be shipped to Changshan County. Mrs. Zhong also knows that there are frequent wars at the moment, and there are many princes from all walks of life. She is not familiar with the next point, and she is not sure about the official way, so she put it on hold...Brother Zhong is an expert in the underworld and the white way. It's not difficult to leave, if you don't mind, can I help you transport it to Changshan County? I think the commission will be good for June Fourth, we just want to keep our capital." Mrs. Zhong laughed and said, "Mr. Xiao, you really know how to joke. With the friendship between your Xiao family and Sun Jing, what goods can't be delivered? I want us husband and wife to go out for a while, and we have to give us the travel expenses. His temperament is really extraordinary, haha!" Xiao Ning blushed and said, "Madam Zhong..." Mrs. Zhong said: "Your kindness is appreciated by our husband and wife. However, you can rest assured. If you don't believe in others in Dongping, you don't believe in evil. Hehe, there are some things and some people that you don't know yet. In short, I also put a word here, I am in a hurry, and no one can try to please anyone here!" Xiao Ning cupped his hands and said: "I heard Madam Zhong's heroism earlier, and today I saw it! Since that's the case, I won't say much. It's just that this place has become a target of public criticism, and staying for a long time is not an option. Tonight, I will use a boat to send Master Dao Let's go, Mrs. Zhong is willing to take over for me for five days, and within five days, I have already gone to sea." Mrs. Zhong said: "That's natural, you just go, we will make arrangements here." Xiao Ning turned to Xu Peng and said, "Did you hear that? Why don't you hurry up and prepare the boat?" Xu Zhan and Xu Peng glanced at each other, and Xu Peng said hesitantly: "Master, people in the Jianghu have already spread rumors that our Xiao family has robbed Lin Ai's martial arts cheats, and also took away Xiao Jin..." Xiao Ning was startled for a moment, then sighed, and said: "This situation was actually doomed when we came out, and it's very lucky to delay it until now... However, I don't believe it, there are still people who dare It's my Xiao family's idea! Xu Peng, do as I say, prepare the boat, and we'll leave tonight." Just as Xu Peng was about to answer, he suddenly heard someone outside the hall laughing and saying, "Don't panic! You can't go by water if you want to go!" It was Boss Zhong's voice. Mrs. Zhong changed her face and said: "You stinky boss, where did you fool around just now?" Mrs. Zhong said anxiously: "Mrs., don't talk nonsense! I have guests here!" How dare you use your cronies to suppress me?" Just as he was talking, Boss Zhong strode in and shouted, "You friend? See for yourself who it is?" Three people followed in succession.Mrs. Zhong was startled when she saw her, she quickly stood up and said with a smile, "Ah, so it's Brother Zhang, Brother Wang, and Brother Ouyang! Why are you here? This is really a surprise!" Brother Zhang who shoots arrows and Wang San who uses abacus all greet Mrs. Zhong with smiles.Boss Zhong saw that Xiao Ning was also there, and hurriedly said: "Let me introduce, this is the well-known young master of the Xiao family in Jiangnan... Don't be modest, hehe, you are a master who is thicker than my waist even if you pull out a hair. The first is the "San Wang San", who fought all over Suzhou and Hangzhou with his "iron abacus". This "Iron Hand Condor" Zhang Wuji Zhang brother is proficient in all eighteen martial arts, especially the bow, knife, and stick. Absolutely, I am willing to bow down. This is Ouyang Daocheng, the 'thunderbolt hand'..." Then Ouyang Daocheng said: "Don't brag, I'm just a baker, I don't have anything to present." He is dark and short, with a goatee beard and a Sichuan accent. After he finished speaking, Xiao Ning cupped his hands solemnly and said: "I've heard about the fame of several old seniors since I was a child, but unfortunately I have never had the chance to meet them. It is really a blessing in this life to meet three of them at the same time today! Senior Ouyang's 'Iron Shirt Skill' It is unique from 'Broken Wind Palm', and forms a school of its own, which I have admired for a long time." Ouyang Daocheng snorted, and said slowly: "What do you know? My three-legged cat kung fu, a savage outside the mountain, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch Mr. Xiao's eyes. It's something unique, don't talk nonsense if you haven't seen it before." Qing Gao, who was discriminated against because of his poor birth, looked down on the sons of the big family the most. Seeing Xiao Ning's grandeur, he didn't want to get close to him, and immediately pushed back honestly. Boss Zhong said angrily: "You are so fucking old, you haven't seen each other for a few years, and you're just going to show me your face when you come here, right? I'll show you my face at the wine table later!" Ouyang Daocheng rolled his eyes , was about to quarrel with him, Xiao Ning smiled and said: "Senior Ouyang misunderstood, I have indeed seen the martial arts of Senior Ouyang, it's just that Senior Ouyang is a noble person who forgets things." Ouyang Daocheng was stunned and asked, "What place?" "White Horse Temple." Ouyang Daocheng frowned tightly, with a hesitant look on his face, and he said after a long while: "You are a lay disciple of the White Horse Temple? But it's not right, I consulted Master Lin Jin at the White Horse Temple back then, but... it was all because of him In the secret room, no other monks saw it." Xiao Ning said: "I am not a monk, nor a lay disciple of the White Horse Temple. I am the tea-pouring boy in front of Master Lin Jin, have you forgotten, senior?" Ouyang Daocheng slapped his forehead suddenly, and said in amazement: "You are the boy watching tea?" He looked Xiao Ning up and down for a long time, and murmured: "That's right... I remembered, you were... just then... Are you in your teens? No wonder no wonder... no wonder you know my family background. I didn't expect you, the son of the Xiao family, to be the person Master Lin Jin admired the most..." Xiao Ning smiled lightly, and said: "It's just Master Lin Jin's love that was wrong, I'm ashamed to take it." Ouyang Daocheng kept saying: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it... No, no, since Master Lin Jin said so, he would never be wrong... Could his words be wrong? I just offended the old man!" Boss Zhong chuckled and said, "Look, you old tortoise, my guests here are not ordinary people. You have a fucking bad temper and dare to... sit here, sit down! Hey, ma'am, Why are you still sitting here, go and get the good tea that Lao Tzu treasured!" Mrs. Zhong glanced at him, smiled at everyone, and said, "My husband can't speak, everyone knows that, please forgive me." She went outside to prepare tea. After everyone was seated, Mr. Zhong said, "Brother Xiao, what did you just say about Ma Feng, haha, their family has nothing to do with your family, right?" Xiao Ning said: "That's not true. Senior Sima Linquan currently has an idle job in the military and horse department of the court, and my second uncle can be regarded as a colleague." Boss Zhong frowned and said: "He is such a character, why does he go to serve as an official in the military department? The people in power in the Jin Kingdom are all bastards, except for chewing tongues and brothers killing each other, there is no bullshit! It hurts me! All the rivers and mountains are fucking lost! A dead horse can still be an official in the middle, which shows that the character is not very good. Since it has nothing to do with you, then I can breathe a sigh of relief, otherwise I don’t know how to explain it to you, haha ,Ha ha!" Wang San, Zhang Wuji and others all laughed along.Xiao Ning said curiously: "I don't understand, why is it related to me, Brother Zhong is hard to explain?" Zhong Lao said: "To tell you the truth, on the river beach just now, that kid, Si Ma Crazy, and that round bald donkey from White Horse Temple were robbing Xiao Jin dog by dog." Xiao Ning's eyes flashed brightly, and he murmured: "It's so fast..." Zhong Lao said: "That roundness is really useless. After a few encounters, he was chopped down by the dead horse, and the few people who came with him were all dead. Brother, you haven't seen it, that dead horse is crazy. Sure enough, he is as his name suggests, he is really a lunatic, killing people is like fighting a cock and a dog. That posture, looks angry, thinks, is cold-hearted, right?" Zhang Sandao: "Exactly. This kid doesn't know how arrogant he is in Jiangnan, and he doesn't take human life seriously. Brother Xiao didn't see it. His subordinates surrounded people to kill, and he actually helped the people who were killed inside to cheer and cheer, reminding them How to kill one's own people is actually just wanting to watch more killing scenes. It's really not something people can do. His father, Sima Linquan, is probably not much better." Xiao Ning said: "I have heard about Sima Feng's behavior in Jiangnan for a long time. It is not uncommon for his family to disregard human life. In Jiangnan, his father can still restrain him a little bit. This time going north, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it." I'm getting scrupled. After talking for a long time, I think, maybe Sima Feng has learned his lesson by now, right?" Boss Zhong said triumphantly: "Just kidding! On Lao Tzu's territory, he dares to be so tyrannical. If I don't teach him a lesson, how will Lao Tzu mess around in the world in the future? Just a few brothers arrived and helped me clean up his men , He, I can't give it to other people." At this point, Mrs. Zhong ordered someone to serve tea, and she was a little worried after hearing this: "You are talking big again. The Sima family is very skilled, how did you fight him?" Zhong Lao said: "Awesome? Hehe, the sword technique is powerful, but this kid has already been hollowed out by wine and sex, is there any use for it? I haven't made a real move yet, and after only thirty strokes, I broke his sword But his father is also considered a character, so he didn't bother him anymore. But the subordinate next to him seems to be from the Kongtong faction... I remember the nickname is Smiling Mountain Wolf, and he was ruthless and fast. I’m too lazy to bother, I had a good fight with him, unloaded his arms, and see how he will behave like a mountain wolf in the future, haha!” Xiao Ning hurriedly said: "Brother Zhong didn't kill him, did he?" Zhong Lao said: "No! Killing such a person is dirty with Lao Tzu's sword. I ordered people to use broken fishing nets to catch Sima Feng and his men, throw them into the boat, and float down the current. Let's see his own luck." Mrs. Zhong said angrily: "Why are you so casual? If so, we will have a deep hatred with the Sima family!" Boss Zhong widened his eyes and said, "Am I afraid of him?" Xiao Ning said: "Don't worry, Mrs. Zhong, the Sima family has no power in Jiangbei at all, and it is impossible to fight against Brother Zhong. Besides, the court struggles in the Jin Dynasty are intensifying, Xuzhou Inspector Huan Wenheng is gradually gaining the support of the major families, In the near future, it is possible to take control of the government. He and Lord Yin Hao, who are supported by the Sima family, are deadly enemies. Once he gains power, I am afraid that the life of the Sima family will be difficult." Zhong Lao said: "Hey, brother Xiao is worthy of being your son, and knows the inside story that we people will never know... Huan Wen is a character. If the Jin Kingdom is to be revived, it depends on him. Look at Mr. Xiao's posture... you guys Do you support the Evergrande people?" Xiao Ning picked up the teacup to drink tea, and said solemnly: "Brother Zhong is joking. My family has been in business for generations, not involved in politics. Regardless of which side or faction, as long as there is serious business to do, they are all guests of our Xiao family." "Hehe, you can really talk! This is good, this is amazing, just like me, I can be a tortoise with peace of mind, and I won't fall for ten thousand years, hahahaha!" Boss Zhong laughed for a while, seeing Mrs. Zhong staring at him with a sullen face, he hurriedly closed With a smile, he said seriously: "Stop joking, everyone is talking about business, ahem... I heard a few words just now, Brother Xiao said it well, this dead horse madness has come, and other messy people don't know how many people have left before." Come on. Although Lao Tzu is a coward, no one dares to overwhelm me. Besides, there are so many brothers who are here to help. But it is easy to hide a spear and it is difficult to guard against it. It seems that today, Xiao Jin and the two of them were killed as soon as they went out. Catch it right away, damn it, there are countless pairs of eyes staring at me around the mansion. Living here for a long time is not an option." Xiao Ning said: "Exactly. So I want to take them away as soon as possible. It's best to leave tonight." Wang Sandao: "How does Mr. Xiao want to go?" Xiao Ning said: "I have just discussed it with Mrs. Zhong, and it should be safer to go by sea. The merchant ship I am using will go east, pass through Zhu'a and Le'an counties, go to Gaomi County, and take a sea boat to Kuaiji." Wang San said with a smile: "Young Master Xiao has a good plan, but now Boss Zhong's house is surrounded by people, and Young Master Xiao's own fleet, isn't it the same? There are two theories about the whereabouts of Master Ai's martial arts. One is that it fell into the hands of Boss Zhong, and the other is the Xiao family. Mr. Xiao, you don't seem to believe it. I also know that with your power, no one can do it. Frankly monitor your mansion, but your fleet is different. Would you like to try to mobilize a few ships, Mr. Xiao, to see if they are really safe and sound?" Xiao Ning pondered for a while, then sighed: "That's right, what Senior said is very true. If I'm as inseparable as Boss Zhong, it's inevitable to monitor the fleet. It's just... staying here is not a solution after all." Wang Sandao: "I have a question, I don't know if I should ask it or not?" Xiao Ning cupped his hands and said: "Senior, please tell me, I will definitely answer if I can answer." Wang Sandao: "Boss Zhong and I have been friends for decades, and I know his temper. The reason why he is willing to take the risk of confronting so many martial artists and protect Xiao Jin and others is out of loyalty.

As long as you keep an eye on your surname Zhong and Xiao, then Where else can the boy run?" Xiao Ning suddenly realized, and raised his forehead with his hands, he let out a long breath, and said, "I'm really a dreamer."
