Chapter 20 The twentieth round of Hu Qi rampages in famous cities

Wei Yue was very surprised, Nan Jiyun was about to tell the story of this incident, but Wei Yue said first: "Nephew Nan Xian, you only know one thing and don't know the other, the iron rings were originally a pair, and it was me. It was given to Huangfusong. Thirty years ago, I got this pair of iron rings in Huijiang. It is said that they were objects in the palace of an earth king. Give it to me, and I'll pass it on to Huangfusong. So, you can't say that Kong Konger is playing tricks based on this. However, why Huangfusong is willing to take apart the pair of iron rings and give one to Duan Guizhang is a strange thing. You and Duan Guizhang have a very close relationship, so you must know the reason behind it?"

Nan Jiyun said: "I also know that there is another iron ring with the same style, but it seems that that ring should not be in Huangfusong's hands." Wei Yue said: "How do you say that?" Nan Jiyun generalized him and Duan Guizhang when they were hunted down by An Lushan warriors. Duan Guizhang was seriously injured and fell into a coma. Later, he met Huangfusong in the ancient temple. Talk about retreating.Then began to talk about the story of the ring, "At that time, Huangfusong knew that Duan Guizhang was not easy to be favored by others, so he removed an iron ring and put it on Duan Guizhang's finger. I said: Please plead with Duan Daxia, if he meets a person in the future, and that person has the same iron ring, please show him some sympathy for my sake."

After Nan Jiyun finished telling the story, he continued: "One of the pair of rings is in Duan Guizhang's hand; although I don't know the owner of the other, I can conclude that Huangfusong has given it to another person, so I just find it weird." At this moment, Wei Yue was greatly surprised, pondered for a moment, and said: "But I clearly recognize that this is the ring I gave Huangfusong back then, it is definitely not a fake! Where did Kong Konger steal this ring from?" Nan Jiyun said: "Kong Konger's ability to steal is unparalleled in the world, well, I'm afraid, I'm afraid it's..." Wei Yue said: "Are you worried that Duan Guizhang stole that iron ring from him? If you talk about Kong Konger's ability Who owns this iron ring? It is not difficult for him to steal it. However, only three people know about Huangfusong and I’s date tonight. Besides our two parties, there is another one I sent to The person who delivered the letter." Nan Jiyun quickly asked: "Who is that person?" Wei Yue said: "He is my most trusted disciple, and he will never reveal it to outsiders. Apart from what Huangfusong said, how would Kong Konger know? ?”

Both felt that there were many doubts about this matter, and they really couldn't figure it out.Wei Yue thought for a while, and said: "I'll go back and ask my apprentice first, if I can't find out why, I'll meet you in Jiuyuan and help you find the whereabouts of Leng Xuemei's mother and daughter." When Nan Jiyun encountered this kind of headless case, he had nothing to do. He thought: "The military situation is urgent, so we have to go back to Jiuyuan first." He thanked Wei Yue, and the two broke up at dawn. Nan Ji Yunma was fast, and at dusk on the second day, he returned to the Jiuyuan prefect's mansion.Because it was getting late, he didn't want to disturb Guo Ziyi, so he returned to his residence first.

When Tie Mole heard that his senior brother was coming back, he hurried out to greet him, and shouted from a distance: "What, where is my sister-in-law? Why didn't you come back with her?" When he raised his head, he realized that Nan Jiyun's expression was wrong.He was elated when he went, but now when he comes back, he is downcast and haggard, as if he had been ill. Tie Mole was taken aback, and asked: "Brother, what's going on?" Nan Jiyun said: "It's a long story, I'll talk to you slowly in the room." Tie Mole heard what happened, and said: "This matter must be related to the little thief of the Wang family, brother, let's go to Longmian Valley and make him turn upside down!"

Nan Jiyun smiled wryly and said: "This place is more than a thousand miles away from Longmian Valley, how can we go just as soon as we say it? The military situation is urgent now, we should all obey the general's order from Guo Taishou and not act rashly." That night, Nan Jiyun's thoughts were ups and downs, and he was sleepless all night. He thought that with the martial arts of Leng Xuemei's mother and daughter, they would not be easily captured by the Wang family; In his hands, he will never give in to him, so he feels a little relieved. Guo Ziyi knew that Nan Jiyun had returned, so he invited the two of them into the inner office to meet each other at dawn. Guo Ziyi was old and sophisticated, and when he heard that he came back listlessly last night, he already guessed that there must be a change in his marriage, so he decided not to Asking him how he came to Xia's house, he said with a gentle smile: "The country is so difficult, it's time for a man to serve the country, so the family affairs can be temporarily put aside. General Nan, you came back just in time!" Nan Jiyun asked quickly Said: "But what changes have taken place in the military situation?"

Guo Ziyi said: "The military situation is very tight. An Lushan sent troops to attack because his eldest son was killed by the court. Henan Jiedu made Zhang Jieran's entire army wiped out, and Feng Changqing's army was defeated without a fight. He was invincible now. Back into Tongguan." It turned out that An Lushan had two sons, the eldest son Qingzong and the second son Qingxu. Qingxu assisted his father in Fanyang;After the An Lushan rebellion, Yang Guozhong played a memorial, saying that their father and son often communicated secretly, and that if they stayed in the court, they might have troubles with their confidantes.

When An Lushan heard the news, he said angrily: "You killed one of my sons, and I will break through Chang'an and kill you all civil and military!" Keep. At that time, the imperial court sent three armies to hunt down the thieves. One was the new envoy of Fan Yang and Pinlu Jiedu, Feng Changqing. , commanded the border army mixed by Hu and Han, and guarded Tongguan as a barrier for Chang'an; on the other hand, Zhang Jieran, the Jiedu envoy of Henan, commanded Chenliu and other thirteen counties, and supported each other with Feng Changqing.An Lushan attacked Zhang Jieran first, and Guo Na, the prefect of Chenliu, surrendered in Kaicheng. Zhang Jieran's entire army was wiped out, and he was captured by An Lushan and executed immediately.That Feng Changqing was a man of great ambition and talent, and the strong men he recruited were all from the market and had no training. Anlu Mountain charged with iron cavalry.Feng Changqing led the remaining thousands of defeated troops and retreated into Tongguan, relying on Ge Shuhan for self-protection.Xuanzong was furious when he heard the report, and ordered his brother Shuhan to kill Feng Changqing in the army.

Hearing that the military situation was so urgent, Nan Jiyun's blood boiled immediately, and he put aside the love for his children, and asked Guo Ziyi: "Thieves are rampant, people are dying, how can we sit and watch? I don't know if the court ever ordered Xu Linggong to send troops?" Guo Ziyi said: "I just want to discuss with you. The imperial court sent an envoy to announce the edict yesterday. I was ordered to be Shuofang Jiedu envoy, and the edict asked me to 'guard the imperial book and attack with cameras'. In my opinion, The thieves are in full swing, if they only want to protect themselves, they will be destroyed by the enemy, but if they attack rashly, the enemy will be outnumbered, and the chances of victory will be difficult to control. It is a dilemma between attack and defense, what good strategy does General Nan have?"

Nan Jiyun said: "Prefect Zhang has already prepared in Suiyang, so you can join forces with him." Guo Ziyi said: "Prefect Zhang Xun of Suiyang, and Governor Yan Zhenqing of Pingyuan. I have already made appointments with them in these two places. , but the strength is not enough.” Tie Mole suddenly said: "I have a plan, but I don't know if I can make it?" Guo Ziyi said: "One person thinks about the short, and two people think about the long. What good plan does Brother Tie have, but it doesn't matter." Tie Mole said: "If there is one Surprise soldiers, suddenly inserting behind the enemy, can get twice the result with half the effort." Guo Ziyi said: "This plan is good, but where do the surprise soldiers come from? If they are sent from here, how can they pass through the defense zone of thousands of miles of bandit soldiers?"

Tie Mole said: "Master Guo does not know that there is a Jinji Ridge in the territory of Youzhou. The owner of the village, Xin Tianxiong, has a very close relationship with me. He is a loyal and courageous man. He is a reputable man. An Lushan colluded with Wang Botong, To snare the heroes of the green forest, it is all relying on Xin Tianxiong to come out to expose their treacherous schemes and hold a group of fellow green forests, so that they will not all be used by the security thieves. He knew that I came to join the Lord, and he once said to me, if necessary, He is willing to obey the orders of the adults. I just wonder if the adults are willing to recruit people from the underworld?" Guo Ziyi smiled and said: "As long as he has the heart to serve the country, what are the underworld and white ways? Ordinary people don't want to live and work in peace and contentment. Many people are forced to become bandits. So since I became an official, I have always been lenient towards bandits. , those who advocate the use of 'fu' instead of 'strike'. Since there is such a righteous man in the green forest, and he is willing to be used by me, it is my wish!" Tie Mole rejoiced and said: "If you dare to ask your lord to give me a piece of paper, give him a name, organize the Jinjiling troops into a rebel army, even if you can't win the battlefield, at least you can contain Anlushan's troops behind the enemy." Guo Ziyi pondered for a long time, and he was already thinking about it, and said: "When this rebel army was first built, someone had to plan it. Brother Nanxian, you are a general, so I ask you and Brother Tie to go for me. The main force of Naxinzhai, the power committee, recruits envoys from the enemy's rear. Except for Jinji Ridge, all the heroes of the green forest who are willing to be transformed into rebels will be taken in. I hope that under your plan, you can win a few beautiful victories." Nan Jiyun fulfilled his wish, stood up and said: "Young general, accept the order!" Guo Ziyi immediately wrote the document, and handed a command arrow to Nan Jiyun, and told him: "There are still many defeated troops of the imperial court behind the enemy, you You can also take them in. I will give you this command arrow, so that you can pass on the command from generation to generation and act cheaply." Nan Jiyun solemnly took the command arrow, and said: "I tell you, if I can organize a rebel army, I plan to attack Longmian Valley first, and directly attack Wang Botong's lair. There are two advantages to doing this. Lushan's wings can also take advantage of this to call on people from the Green Forest to correct evil and turn to righteousness, to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, Wang Botong is now known as the leader of the Green Forest Alliance, if he can be defeated in one fell swoop, nineteen people who belong to him can be recruited." Guo Ziyi said: "You have the full power to plan the battle, and you don't need to ask for instructions. Well, it's not too late, you two brothers, go today. I'm waiting for your victory!" He took Nan Jiyun's hand and personally Send them out of the living room and order the attendants to prepare their horses. Nan and Tie returned to their residence and straightened their luggage. Tie Mole smiled and said, "Brother Nan, you should really thank me for making it. You are afraid that you will not be able to go to Dragon's Sleeping Valley. Now I have invited you to order. Miss Xia If you were in Longmian Valley, you would be able to perform a good show of saving the beauty this time." Nan Jiyun smiled and said: "Don't talk about me, can't you take this opportunity to get closer to Miss Han? Don't worry, if you want to talk to her on the road, I will never eavesdrop on you. "It turned out that after Han Zhifen arrived in Jiuyuan, Guo Ziyi's wife liked her very much and invited her to stay with the officials and family members. The official's house was isolated from the inside and outside, so Tie Molei couldn't see her often.This time Guo Ziyi sent the two of them to Jinji Ridge, and agreed to let Han Zhifen go back with them. When Tie Mole came back from making fun of his senior brother, he couldn't help but blushed, and quickly said: "Senior brother, you can't take this joke carelessly. You and Miss Xia are engaged, and Miss Han and I are just siblings." Nan Jiyun He smiled and said, "I'm someone who has been here before, and I was also called Miss Xia's brother and sister back then." The two senior brothers were chatting and laughing, Han Zhifen had already arrived, and she smiled as soon as she came in: "Mo Le, you have a good idea, I am in the mansion with those wives as companions, and I am feeling very bored! Hey, I heard that you Are you going to fight Longmian Valley first, aren't you?" Nan Jiyun said: "That's right. Girl Han, what's your opinion?" Han Zhifen smiled and said: "Don't talk about your opinions, I don't have any. I'm just happy if I get to fight. Wang Botong's daughter still owes me a slap, and I'm going to get it back." Nan Jiyun said: "Okay, this time you have a chance to fight her again. The two brothers and sisters of the Wang family are not good people. The sword pierced her into a transparent hole." Han Zhifen glanced at Tie Mole, and said with a half-smile: "I don't dare to kill that girl Wang, how can I pay Mole? Brother Nan, you don't know, That Miss Wang is really kind to Mole!" Tie Mole was ashamed and anxious, and shouted: "Zhifen, didn't I tell you? No matter how she treats me, she always kills my adoptive father enemy!" Seeing that he recognized the truth, Han Zhifen smiled and said, "If you're not worried, why worry so much. Well, let's not talk about you. The horses are ready, we can set off now." The three of them rode out of the mansion together on horseback. The officer on duty was a little strange and asked, "General Nan, you just came back yesterday and you are leaving again today? What business is there, coming and going in such a hurry? Miss Han, are you leaving too?" Nan Jiyun didn't want to talk to him because it was a secret matter, so he just said a few perfunctory words and immediately rode off. Han Zhifen was still riding on Qin Xiang's yellow pussy horse, while Nan and Tie's mounts were horses chosen by Guo Ziyi for them. Although it was not as good as that yellow pussy horse, it was also very strong and powerful, but in one morning, they traveled more than a hundred miles. . Along the way, they inevitably used Longmian Valley as a topic, talking about the "celebration banquet" they made a big fuss about in the royal family seven years ago.Tie Mole suddenly seemed to remember something, and suddenly reined in the horse. Nan Jiyun asked: "What? Is your horse unable to run?" Tie Mole said: "No. I was thinking, should we go back to Jiuyuan?" Nan Jiyun said: "Why? Tie Mole said: "I remembered one thing." Han Zhifen smiled and said, "What's the fuss? I've walked so many ways, and I still want to go back? You can talk while you walk, and let Big Brother Nan take care of you Participate." Tie Mole asked: "Brother Nan, what's the name of the person who asked you at the gate of the government office just now?" Mo Le said again: "The day I first arrived in Jiuyuan, you were practicing in the inner school field, and this He Kun was also among them. I remember that he still hit the heart with all three arrows, right?" Nan Jiyun said: "That's right. Among the captains, his arrow skills are considered good. Do you recognize him?" Tie Mole said: "When I saw him in the school grounds that day, I felt a little familiar. Just now you mentioned that we made a big disturbance in Longmian Valley, and I suddenly remembered that I met this person in Longmian Valley. I did. Because there were too many people at that time, I couldn’t remember it for a while.” Nan Jiyun was taken aback, and asked: "Really? You remember clearly, and you didn't admit your mistake?" Tie Mole said: "It's definitely not wrong. Do you remember? That day I was a boy pretending to be the master of Xinzhai. I was having a banquet in the garden, but I was eating with the servants in the stable. He had eaten at the same table as me. The others were talking and laughing, but he was the only one who was silent, so I especially remembered him. Think about it, if he is Wang Botong's man, why don't you worry about letting him stay in the army?" Nan Jiyun asked: "At that time, the people who ate with you at the same table were all servants of Wang Botong?" Tie Mole said: "There are also followers of the village masters, people with the same status as me." Nan Jiyun pondered for a while, and said: "Ever since Guo Linggong knew that there were signs of rebellion in Anlu Mountain, he made a list to recruit warriors and recruit talents. As far as I know, this He Kun is the first batch of applicants. He is cautious and loyal to his duty. Now, we can't conclude that he is Wang Botong's person, and we haven't held him against him. If we rush back and report him, wouldn't it be a big deal?" Tie Mole said: "We just Tell Guo Linggong alone." Nan Jiyun said: "But if we go and come back, others won't be suspicious? If he is really a bad person, he will startle the snake instead. How about this, this is still the boundary of Jiuyuan County, I When you get to the guardhouse in front, write another secret letter and ask them to send it back immediately. Tell Guo Linggong and ask him to be more careful, that’s all. These guardhouses and government offices often have official documents, so no one will be suspicious.” Tie Mole felt that what the brother said was reasonable, so he didn't insist on going back.They hurried on, and within an hour, they arrived at the front guard. Nan Jiyun wrote a letter, sealed it with wax, and handed it to the officer in the guard. The man knew Nan Jiyun and promised to deliver it to him that day. arrive. After leaving the guardhouse, the group moved forward, and three days later, they entered the area under the jurisdiction of Anlu Mountain. From time to time on the road, I met a group of distressed people supporting the old and the young. They were really mournful and desolate;Fortunately, their mounts were all well-trained war horses. They climbed the mountain and ventured like walking on flat ground. Whenever they encountered the army, they made a detour to avoid it. It was reported in the village that the village owner Xin Tianxiong and others all came out to greet her. Han Zhifen suddenly saw her father in the crowd. The joy was no small matter. She hurriedly ran over and shouted, "Father, you're back?" Han Zhan pulled his daughter and said with a smile: "I knew your restless nature. You always like to find things to make others worry about. I came back the day before yesterday and heard Uncle Xin say that you ran away secretly, which almost scared me Jump." Han Zhifen pouted and said, "Uncle Xin, why did you say that to me? Didn't I tell you when I left the mountain last time?" Xin Tianxiong said with a smile, "I was joking with your father, you are in such a hurry What? Ha, that day you got on a yellow puma and told me that you were in a hurry to leave. I still find it funny when I think about it. Do you think I dare not promise you?" Han Zhan laughed and said, "Fortunately, you are walking with Nephew Tie Xian, otherwise I would be really worried!" Turning his head, after greeting Nan Jiyun, he pulled Tie Mole again and said, "Nephew Tie Xian , you have grown so tall, you are really a young hero, I am happy." He held his daughter with one hand and Tie Mole with the other, making Tie Mole feel very embarrassed, Nan Jiyun saw it, I thought in my heart: "Their good things are expected to be harmonious. I hope they won't be tortured like me." Nan Jiyun met with everyone, and found that besides Han Zhan, there were a few more people in the cottage. Du Baiying, the "golden sword and green bag", and Fu Lingxiao, a famous ranger in southern Shaanxi, were also included.Nan Jiyun had a very close relationship with them, they had not seen each other for many years, and now he saluted them again, asked about the general, and realized that Han Zhan went down the mountain last time, firstly, he came to visit friends from various places, and secondly, he also came to recruit heroes for Jinjiling.The distance between Jinji Ridge and Longmian Valley is not far. Han Zhan had already expected the change of Anlu Mountain, so he prepared for the cottage and prepared to deal with the provocation of Longmian Valley. Xin Tianxiong said: "The military situation is urgent now, why are you leaving Jiuyuan at this time, and Guo Linggong is willing to let you go?" Nan Jiyun said: "I just want to discuss a big plan with you, let's go in and talk slowly. " Qunhao was discussing in the Juyi hall that day. Nan Jiyun handed Guo Ziyi's letter of commission to Xin Tianxiong, and proposed to form Jinjiling's subordinates into a rebel army. He also mentioned his plan to attack Longmian Valley first. Xin Tianxiong He readily agreed, and said: "Senior Han is the most familiar with the terrain of Longmian Valley, and he is the best strategist if he wants to capture Longmian Valley." At that moment, after repeated discussions, a plan was made to attack Longmian Valley at night , After the preparations are made, it will be three days later. In order to fear the sneak attack of Longmian Valley, Jinji Ridge originally set up "sit-in detectives" near Longmian Valley.Longmian Valley is a gourd-shaped land, surrounded by high mountains on all sides. There is a hundred miles of land in the valley. There are some mountain people and hunters who collect herbs. There are also several villages outside the valley. After the Wang family occupied Longmian Valley, they started to build The construction of military equipment has turned Longmian Valley into a huge fortress, but the bandits have a rule not to eat "nest grass", and the Wang family regards themselves as the leader of the green forest, and of course they will not attack these villagers.Although the original medicine farmers and hunters in the valley were forced to join the group and wanted to work for them, they still kept their own jobs, but they had to hand over the herbs they collected and the wild animals they hunted to the cottage, and they received a monthly payment. It's like being hired by a cottage.As for the villagers outside the valley, they only have to obey their jurisdiction, and nothing else has changed. The "Zuo Tan" in Jinji Ridge is the owner of the tea pavilion where Tie Mole had had a drink.The tea pavilion is less than thirty miles away from Longmian Valley, and he has several relatives in the valley, so he is quite well informed about the news about Longmian Valley. Jinji Ridge also sends out "spies" from time to time, in the name of visiting relatives, to inquire about Longmian Gu's fiction and reality, every time, he will return to Jinji Ridge. On the second day, spies came back and reported that Wang Botong and his son were in the valley, and that the valley was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and all the cottages were decorated with new decorations. Xin Tianxiong didn't think this news was special, but when Nan Jiyun heard it, he couldn't help feeling suspicious, wondering if Xia Lingshuang's mother and daughter had really been captured by the Wang family, and Wang Longke wanted to force Xia Lingshuang to marry?He hoped that the two mother and son would fall in Longmian Valley and he could rescue them, but also worried that they would be in an accident. After hearing the news, he didn't have a good night's sleep for two nights. Nan Jiyun's suspicion was half right. Xia Lingshuang had indeed fallen into Wang Longke's hands, but her mother was not with her. Even Xia Lingshuang didn't know about her whereabouts. On the night when Jinji Ridge was about to attack Longmian Valley, in an elegantly furnished room of the Wang family, there was a young girl lying on the bed. She wanted to struggle, but her body was limp and she couldn't exert any strength. come out.This girl is Xia Lingshuang, and she has been placed in this house for several days. She gritted her teeth, her eyes darkened with anger, that horrible encounter reappeared in her mind again. That day, she was chatting with her mother, and she was always thinking about Nan Jiyun in her heart. She counted the days, Nan Jiyun should come within a day or two.While thinking about it, she suddenly heard a sound from outside, she was so happy that she almost jumped up, just when she was about to open the door, that group of people had already barged in, which was beyond her expectation. There were four people who broke into her room, the first one was Jing Jinger, the second one was Wang Longke, the third one was a slender Taoist priest with strange appearance, only this person she did not know; the fourth person, the last To her surprise, it was Huangfusong, the dragon of Huashan Mountain! She will never forget the scene at that moment, when Huangfusong appeared, her mother suddenly screamed, and her face changed completely, as if she had encountered a ghost or a wild beast!That cry was full of anger, full of fear, and it seemed like a desperate cry of a helpless person in danger!She and her mother depended on each other for life. After more than 20 years, she had never seen her mother's angry look like this, or heard such a terrifying cry! She remembered that she jumped up instinctively, drew her sword and stabbed at Huangfusong.Suddenly, she smelled a strange fragrance, and the sword strokes were made without strength at all, as if she had drunk too much wine, dizzy, dizzy, and her body was limp, she just wanted to fall off the bed and go to sleep.In a daze, she realized that Wang Longke had come to her. At this moment, she could vaguely hear her mother yelling, as if she was yelling at Huangfusong: "I don't allow you to say a word to Shuang'er!" Then, It seemed that she also heard the sound of a few swords colliding, after which she lost consciousness. After she regained consciousness, she was already in this room.She found that there was no abnormality in her body, so she was relieved a little, but her strength still had not recovered, so she could only lie on the bed, unable to do anything.She had been placed in this house for several days, and Wang Longke had visited several times, and each time he scolded her back. Xia Lingshuang was worrying, when she suddenly saw the door curtain opened, Wang Longke came in again. Xia Lingshuang clenched her silver teeth angrily, turned around and ignored him.But Wang Longke said with a soft smile: "It's been many days, are you still angry? It's all my fault, I brought you here without your permission first. But, this It's also because I like you so much, you should forgive me. Well, is your chest still feeling tight? I can't give you an antidote for now, but I brought you some ambergris today, which can refresh you Xinnao, smell this fragrance, does it feel better?" The dense fragrance diffused into the tent, and Xia Lingshuang really felt refreshed, only to hear Wang Longke say again: "Miss Xia, I can do whatever you want, as long as you say a word!" Xia Lingshuang was extremely annoyed, and shouted: "Don't pretend to be courteous, I'd rather you kill me!" Wang Longke said with a smile: "Why do you annoy me so much? Did I invite you here to kill you?" Don't worry, I'd rather die than hurt you. Everything I say to you is from the heart." Xia Lingshuang turned her face and said angrily, "Okay, why don't you let me speak so well? I see my mother?" Wang Longke shook his folding fan and said softly: "Your mother is not here, but after we get married, you will naturally see her." Xia Lingshuang said angrily, "You are so shameless, do you want to use this to threaten me?" Wang Longke Said: "Miss Xia, I propose to you sincerely, don't misunderstand. Your mother has another place to go, and she doesn't want to come to Longmian Valley for the time being. However, as soon as we get married, her old man will naturally rush Come to see your daughter and son-in-law." Xia Lingshuang was so angry that her face was flushed, her brows were bristling, and she said with a "hum": "You want to force me to marry, that's a toad who wants to eat swan meat, even if I, Xia Lingshuang, am smashed to pieces, I will never marry you!" In front of her, Wang Longke had always pretended to be a passionate young man, gentle and considerate, and attentive to his service, but now he heard this, his complexion changed drastically, and he waved his folding fan wildly. After a long while, he said coldly, "Miss Xia, you too Think about it, if I were really the toad you said, I would have already eaten this piece of swan meat. You have already fallen into my hands, and I can manipulate you in any way I want. Just because I respect you and love you, I want to I want to be a loving couple with you that you love and I want, so I don't need to use tyrannical means to treat you. Miss Xia, we finally had a friendship, why do you hate me so much?" Xia Lingshuang said: "I have already had a fiancé, and it's not like you don't know it. You clearly know that I have a marriage contract with Nan Jiyun, but you still brought me here captive. Isn't that intentional to bully me? If you want to talk about friendship, quickly Let me go, maybe I can hate you less." In order to win her heart, Wang Longke had made up his mind to use water to grind his kung fu, no matter how much she insulted him, he would not get angry.But now hearing her mentioning Nan Jiyun, Wang Longke couldn't bear it anymore. His face was ashen, and the folding fan fell to the ground, and he opened his mouth and shouted: "Is there anything that I am not as good as this Nan Jiyun?" He is just a small officer under Guo Ziyi's subordinates. What is his future? Before he met you, we also had a good friendship, how can I, Wang Longke, be willing to move on with you?" Wang Longke roared like thunder, but Xia Lingshuang fell silent instead, listening to him while remembering the past.Seven years ago, she first came out of the rivers and lakes. Once she met a group of officers on the road. The officer saw her beauty and wanted to tease her. She was about to do it, but a young man passing by stopped the officer and relieved her. Wai, this boy is Wang Longke.At that time, Xia Lingshuang didn't know his identity, and thought he was a son of a noble family who was helping people in need. Seeing that he was elegant, elegant in conversation, and talented in both literature and martial arts, she had indeed secretly fell in love with him. After that incident, the two established a friendship and walked together for a while.Xia Lingshuang just came out of the rivers and lakes and has no experience. Wang Longke gave her advice at any time, and helped her get rid of a corrupt official and two bullies. On marriage.Soon, Wang Longke was forced to leave Xia Lingshuang because of the hegemony between his family and Dou's family, and hurried back to Longmian Valley.Xia Lingshuang has never known his identity. Until Wang Longke intercepted Duan Guizhang at Luanshigang and was defeated by Nan Jiyun, and this incident happened to happen to Xia Lingshuang. From then on, Wang Longke's true face was gradually revealed.After all the heroes rioted in Longmian Valley and the conspiracy between the Wang family and An Lushan was exposed, Xia Lingshuang completely despaired of Wang Longke. Scenes of the past flashed through Xia Lingshuang's mind. At this moment, Wang Longke was still gesticulating in front of her bed, indignant and chattering endlessly; Xia Lingshuang suddenly raised her head and said coldly: "Yes, you can't get along with Nan Jiyun at all. Compare!" Wang Longke was taken aback for a moment, and asked loudly: "Why can't I compare with him? I am the young leader of the Green Forest. I am powerful and trying to dominate the world. What is he?" Xia Lingshuang said: "He is a hero, he is a good man who helps the country and the people! You collude with Hu'er and harm the common people. You are not a thing at all. How can you compare with him?" Wang Longke was furious, but he stared, and laughed instead: "This is really a woman's opinion. Have you ever read history books?" Xia Lingshuang said, "I'm comparing the actions of the two of you, which is different from history books. What's the matter?" Wang Longke picked up the fan, shook it, tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and said in a slow voice: "Don't you think it is a great crime for me to collude with Hu'er? Even if you have never read history books, you should know about the affairs of this dynasty. Back then, Li Yuan and his son fought against the kings from all walks of life in the Central Plains. Li Yuan once proclaimed himself a vassal to the Turks. He sent Liu Wenjing as an envoy. The Turkic Khan agreed that "all the income obtained from the conquest and the treasures of the children will be owned by the Khan." Therefore, with the help of the Turks, Li Yuan became the Emperor Gaozu of this dynasty. I am now connected with Anlu Mountain, but I am just following the example of Li Yuan I just rely on him for the time being. After the thing is done, I can also kill him and monopolize the Tang Dynasty. Haha, then I will be like Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, the king who created a generation. How do you know me? your ambition? You scold me for this, isn’t this a woman’s opinion?” Wang Longke was eloquent and eloquent, citing the past to prove the present, thinking that he could subdue Xia Lingshuang, but Xia Lingshuang smiled coldly, and said with contempt, "Oh, I'm so disrespectful, so you still have such ambitions! The little girl has never been familiar with it." I read history books, but I only know one truth: whoever harms the common people is a heinous villain, and whoever recognizes a thief as his father is a national traitor that everyone in the country says can be killed!" Wang Longke tried all kinds of means, both hard and soft, but unexpectedly not only failed to win Xia Lingshuang's heart, but caused a scolding on the contrary!Although he had been scolded several times before, he had never been scolded so harshly and so decisively, there was simply no room for change! Wang Longke's complexion was ashen, his eyes were red, and he became angry from embarrassment. He took a step forward suddenly and said with a grin, "Well, in your eyes, I am actually a heinous villain. What else can I say to you? I can only use the villain I have dealt with you! Ha, ha, Miss Xia, you are toasting and not eating fine wine!" He stood in front of the bed, bent down, stretched out his arms, and was about to embrace Xia Lingshuang! Xia Lingshuang couldn't move, and said coldly: "Okay, so majestic! Bah, you are a shameless bastard!" Wang Longke thought highly of himself, and when he was scolded by her like this, he was both angry and ashamed, and his eyes met, But Jue Xia Lingshuang's eyes were full of contempt, hatred, and cold arrogance, Wang Longke couldn't help but shudder.Originally Xia Lingshuang had no strength to resist, but for some reason, Wang Longke faced her awe-inspiring and inviolable expression, but suddenly felt guilty, his arms were hanging in the air, and he didn't dare to hug her! Wang Longke gritted his teeth, couldn't step down from the stage, and couldn't bear to leave. He was in the battle between man and nature, and he was hesitating, when he suddenly heard a sneer; the voice was very soft, but clear, as if someone was laughing at him in his ear.He looked at Xia Lingshuang, Xia Lingshuang was lying on the bed, eyes wide open, glaring at him, but his lips were tightly closed, obviously this was not Xia Lingshuang's laughter. Wang Longke shouted: "Who is outside?" No one answered, but there was another sneer, Wang Longke was already a little timid, but after hearing the sneer, he couldn't help letting go of Xia Lingshuang, and immediately opened the curtain and ran out . Xia Lingshuang breathed a sigh of relief, and said inwardly: "It's so dangerous!" She also heard the two sneers, and she was glad that the sneers came in time, but at the same time felt extremely strange. After a while, suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside again, Xia Lingshuang was shocked, she couldn't help being startled again, she thought it was Wang Longke who went and came back. A slender figure flashed in, and Xia Lingshuang took a closer look, but it was Wang Longke's younger sister, Wang Yanyu. Although it wasn't Wang Longke who came, Xia Lingshuang hated the Wang family to the core, and of course she didn't like Wang Yanyu at all.She looked at Wang Yanyu coldly, without saying a word, but she saw that Wang Yanyu had a smile on his face, and seemed to have no malice towards her. Seeing Xia Lingshuang's expression, Wang Yanyu was taken aback for a moment, but still with a smile on his face, he stepped forward and said to Xia Lingshuang: "Sister Xia, my brother is rude to you, no wonder you are angry. My little sister is here I apologize to you!" Xia Lingshuang sneered and said: "Your brother was scolded by me just now and ran away with his tail between his legs. What kind of tricks are you playing again? Hmph, hum, one of you two brothers and sisters is good and the other is bad, can you fool me?" 王燕羽道：“姐姐，请勿多疑，我是诚心诚意来给姐姐赔罪，非但如此，我还想为我的哥哥赎罪！” 夏凌霜道：“吓，你要为他赎罪，如何赎法？对啦，我早已听说你是个杀人不眨眼的小魔女，你就拿出你当年刺杀窦家五虎的本事，将我一剑杀了吧，省得我活着受你们的折磨，也省得我睁开眼睛就要对着你们这班讨厌的东西。” 王燕羽变了面色，忽地两颗泪珠滴了下来，低声说道：“当年我杀了窦家五位伯伯，乃是奉父命而为，现在想来，已是后悔不及。但是窦家五位伯伯也有可死之处，不过，不应由我来杀他们就是了。姐姐，这件事情你也不能原谅我么？” 夏凌霜对窦家五虎本来亦无好感，不过是信手拈来举例罢了，听她这么郑重的辩解，倒觉得有点奇怪，当下忍不住说道：“你不必猫哭老鼠假慈悲啦，你杀了他们，后悔也好，得意也好，与我毫无关系。你干脆说吧，你哥哥差遣你来，意欲如何？不过，我可以斩钉截铁地告诉你，软的硬的，我全都不受！不论你用的是刀剑毒药，或者甜言蜜语，想我依从，那只有白费心机！” 王燕羽道：“我是他的妹妹，你不相信我，那也难怪。但是，我并非我哥哥差遣来的，你问我意欲如何？我到此间，为的就是想助你逃走，这样，你可以相信我了吧？” 夏凌霜愕了一愕，道：“你要放我逃走？咦，这对你有什么好处？我与你也够不上这个交情！” 王燕羽道：“你一定要知道对我有什么好处，才能相信我的诚意吗？好吧，那我就告诉你。我知道你是南大侠的未婚妻子，我但求你们破镜重圆之后，你在南大侠跟前，能为我美言两句。” 夏凌霜道：“咦？这更奇怪了。你要我向他说些什么？”王燕羽脸上忽然泛起一片娇红，羞涩涩地说道：“只要你说出这件事的经过，让南大侠明白我也并非坏得难以救药之人，那就行了。” 饶是夏凌霜心窍玲珑，一时之间，却也难明其中缘故，心里只是想道：“为什么她要求得我南大哥的好感？为什么她又是这等神情？”要不是她对南霁云素来信任，又知道他们二人向无关联，几乎会疑心其中另有隐情。 夏凌霜正在猜疑，只见王燕羽已掏出一个银瓶，盛着半瓶淡红色的液体，低声道：“你是中了千日醉迷香散的毒，这是解药，我从哥哥那儿偷来的。” 夏凌霜半信半疑，道：“你偷了解药给我，不怕你父兄责怪么？”王燕羽道：“你不必管我，你快些吃了解药，早早逃跑吧。要是哥哥发觉我偷他的解药，你就逃不成了！” 夏凌霜见她神情焦急，似乎恨不得自己马上就把那解药服下，反而又多了两分猜疑，冷冷说道：“这么说来，你竟然为了一个不相干的外人，和你哥哥作对了。嘿嘿，想不到你心地竟是如此善良，老虎也会念大悲咒了！” 王燕羽急道：“你要怎样才相信我，唉，你不知道，我，我是——”夏凌霜睁圆双眼问道：“你，你是为了什么？” 就在此时，忽听得有个声音叫道：“小姐，小姐！”这是王燕羽贴身丫鬟在呼唤她，声音急促，似乎出了什么事情。 王燕羽吃了一惊，将那银瓶扔到夏凌霜身边，气道：“好，你不相信我，我也没法。服不服药由你！你不是要寻死觅活么？好，你就当它是一瓶毒药吧！” 王燕羽匆匆走了，夏凌霜目送她的背影，又瞧瞧那个银瓶，王燕羽临走时那股神气，那股又是焦急、又是愤激、又是受了无限委屈的神气，一个少女似乎不可能矫揉造作得来。夏凌霜暮地里心中想道：“她说得对，就算这是一瓶毒药，我最多也是一死而已，服了它决不会比现在半死不活的情形更坏。”她不能爬起身来，但双手还能缓缓移动，她挣扎着拿起银瓶，打开瓶塞，闻得一股芳香，登时精神一爽，终于把那半瓶药酒倒入口中。 羽出来见着了那个丫鬟，急忙问道：“你可有碰见我的哥哥？”那丫鬟道：“少寨主已经走出前厅去了。听说是来了客人。”连日间都有绿林人物来到，王燕羽也不放在心上，便问道：“你大呼小叫的找我，有什么事情？”那丫鬟道：“杨总管传下老寨主的命令，叫小姐也去会客。杨总管已经找过你一趟了。”王燕羽有点诧异，心中想道：“什么重要的客人？我爹爹亲自招待，又有我的哥哥，为什么还要我也出去？”当下说道：“好，我就出去。我到过此间，你不可说给别人知道。” 王燕羽走出前厅，先在屏风后面一瞧，这一瞧不由得心头一震！ 来的这两个人，可并非什么绿林人物，而是王燕羽所认识的人——名震江湖的段珪璋夫妇。 段珪璋是窦家的女婿，王家大破飞虎山，灭了窦家五虎之后，本来就准备他们夫妇要来寻仇。但是，经过了七年，他们夫妇的足迹始终未曾踏进过龙眠谷，王伯通父子，也以为他们不会来了，哪知他们却突然在今晚出现！ 王燕羽恍然大悟，心道：“怪不得爹爹催我出来会客，原来是这样的客人，糟糕，要是他们动起手来，我可怎么办呢？”段珪璋与铁摩勒的关系，王燕羽是知道的，要是段珪璋果然是为了报仇而来，王燕羽就难以避免要和他们对敌了。她心头大乱，躲在屏风背后，不知如何是好？ 这里，王伯通正在与段珪璋说话，他也以为段珪璋是为窦家报仇来的。王燕羽从屏风背后，偷瞧出去，只见她父亲面挟寒霜，冷冷说道：“请问段大侠，贤伉俪今晚大驾光临，是路过还是特到？”段珪璋道：“无事不登三宝殿，当然是有事才来！” 王伯通冷笑道：“君子一言，快马一鞭，请问段大侠当年在飞虎山上说过的话还记得么？”段珪璋道：“我说过些什么话了？”王伯通道：“当日我在飞虎山与窦老大评理，段大侠不是绿林中人，曾说过不管王、窦二家之事，后来贤伉俪与空空儿按武林规矩较技，段夫人也曾应允，或胜或败，只是与空空儿理论，不向王家寻仇，这后你们可是说过的么？” 段珪璋道：“一点不错，这些话都是有的。”王伯通松了口气，道：“好，既然如此，想来段大侠当是个重言诺、守信义的人，我也似乎不必再多说了！” 段珪璋沉声说道：“王寨主怎的未曾动问，便一口咬定我是为了给窦家报仇而来呢？难道除了这件事情，我段珪璋就不能来么？” 王伯通愕了一愕，随即打了一个哈哈说道：“对不住，这是老夫误会了。多承段大侠把老夫当作朋友，肯到寒舍，真是何幸如之！龙儿，端上茶来。” 段珪璋冷冷说道：“且慢，这碗茶吃不吃也罢。王寨主，你还是误会了。”王伯通道：“怎么？”段珪璋道：“愚夫妇今晚前来，一非寻仇，二非访友。我怎敢高攀作王寨主的朋友呢？” 王伯通连忙问道：“那么段大侠前来，端的是为了什么？”正是： If you want to know what happened next, please listen to the next chapter.
