After reading it, Shangguan Feifeng said: "It's not bad to write about Xu Da in the first couplet. It's even more talented to write about Mo Chou in the second couplet." Wei Tianyuan smiled and said: "I know why you like this couplet, the beauty is fat-free and powdery, isn't that also about you?" Shangguan Feifeng said angrily: "You are here again!" Wei Tianyuan said: "I'm telling the truth, beauty is not just based on appearance. Beauty is rare, but beauty without makeup is even more rare!" Shangguan Feifeng saw that there was no melancholy on his face, and then he knew that he was I really compliment myself.

Shangguan Feifeng smiled like a flower, and suddenly said: "Don't think too well of me, if one day you find out that I am a bad person, how about you?" Wei Tianyuan said: "How can you be a bad person?" Shangguan Feifeng said: "Thank you for trusting me. But you also know that I act willfully. Maybe one day I will really make a big mistake, which you also think is an unforgivable bad thing?" Wei Tianyuan smiled and said: "There is no need for forgiveness between you and me! My life was taken back by you. If you really committed a heinous crime and were punished to hell, I will also I will go to hell with you!" While speaking, he had arrived at the lakeside hotel before he knew it.It is a garden-style hotel with rockery ponds, pavilions and pavilions in the garden.The rooms where guests live are not lined up together like ordinary inns, but small buildings, located in various places in the garden, forming their own portals.When guests come to open a room, they rent a small building instead of a single room.In a building, there are at least two bedrooms. Wei Tianyuan asked for an elegant building with all the daily necessities in it. Except for meals, he didn't need a waiter to greet him, and he could close the door, just like a small family. Shangguan Feifeng said: "Heh, this kind of hostel is really nice, no wonder you dare to guarantee that I will like it. Not only do I like it, I am willing to live here for the rest of my life." Wei Tianyuan said: "There are still many good places in the south of the Yangtze River. You can travel all over the south of the Yangtze River and say this again." Shangguan Feifeng said: "Hey, why do you seem to be a little depressed, are you thinking about something?" Wei Tianyuan said: "No." Shangguan Feifeng said: "Don't lie to me, I can tell. Is it because I met those two eagle-clawed grandchildren?" Wei Tianyuan said: "I don't care about those two eagle-clawed grandchildren at all." Shangguan Feifeng said: "What is that for?" Wei Tianyuan didn't answer, and after a while he sighed and said, "I don't know why, I feel a little closer to my hometown and more timid." Such an answer is indeed a bit "nondescript". It is said that Wei Tianyuan's hometown is not in the south of the Yangtze River. Where does his "feeling" of "closer to his hometown and more timid" come from? But Shangguan Feifeng understood immediately.Closer to the hometown, I am more timid. What is "timid" is the fear of seeing personnel changes, not the fear of returning to my hometown. From Jinling to Yangzhou, it's only two days' journey.Yes, Yangzhou is not Wei Tianyuan's hometown, but in Yangzhou, there are his "relatives".Life and death, Jiang Xuejun is dead, and Qi Shuyu is alive. "Even though he was sure that Sister Xuejun was dead, Sister Xuejun still lived in his heart. They once swore to each other, and the depth of their friendship was probably higher than ordinary 'family affection'. What's more, there was another one who was really For example, Qi Shuyu, his relative who loves his brother and sister? The dead are dead, what is the living? When he arrives in Yangzhou, when he is mourning for Xue Jun's sister, he will inevitably feel sorry for his junior sister, right? He still doesn't know about me Arrangements, no wonder he is more timid to get closer to his hometown." After dinner, Shangguan Feifeng saw that he was still in a trance, and said: "The moonlight is very good tonight, so it's a pity to go to bed early, why don't we go to the lake together, enjoy the 'boating in the heart of the lake', and imagine that 'there is a beautiful woman' Xi, the feeling of 'ready to come out'." Wei Tianyuan smiled and said, "My 'Mochou' is beside me, and the 'beauty' has already appeared without waiting for 'call it'." He didn't want to spoil Shangguan Feifeng's happiness, so he went with her as he joked. The two hired a painting boat, and just after leaving the shore, they saw another couple of young men and women coming to the lake to rent a boat. The man said to a boat lady: "I can make a boat, just rent the boat to me, and you don't need to support it." The boat rent he gave was several times higher than what others gave. The boat lady took the vain money, smiled, and said repeatedly in her heart: "You are flirting on the boat and think I am in the way, and I am happy to be free." .” The young man helped his girlfriend onto the boat, and the bow of the boat shook twice.The girl said: "Hey, be careful, I don't trust your punting skills a bit?" The boy smiled and said, "Are you afraid that you will become a bastard if you fall into the water?" The girl said: "Hey, I've changed into a bastard, are you so glorious?" Shangguan Feifeng looked at the young man's posture, and then heard the sound of him falling down the bow. He could tell that the young man had practiced light kungfu, but he deliberately used heavy posture to make the boat shake when he stepped on the bow, so as to scare the boat. The girl jumped.I thought to myself: "It seems that they are a couple in love, but they don't want a boat lady, is it because they don't want to let the third party hear some private words?" Wei Tianyuan suddenly whispered, "I know these two people." Shangguan Feifeng said: "A friend or an enemy?" Wei Tianyuan said: "It's not a friend, but it probably isn't an enemy either. At least that's how I think about it." Shangguan Feifeng said: "So, you have formed a relationship with them for a while?" Wei Tianyuan said: "That's right, this man's name is Meng Zhongqiang, he is a disciple of the Kunlun School." Shangguan Feifeng said: "Meng Zhongqiang, this name seems familiar. Oh, by the way, he is a figure in the Kunlun Four Talents." The Kunlun Four Talents are the four most outstanding disciples of the second generation of the Kunlun School. Wei Tianyuan said: "You know him?" Shangguan Feifeng said: "I just heard his name mentioned. Kunlun Mountain stretches for thousands of miles, starting from Khotan (in Xinjiang) in the west and connecting with Qinling (in Shaanxi) in the east. We are in Xingxiu Sea at the top of West Kunlun. The mountains connecting East Kunlun and Qinling have never been in contact with each other, but he probably also knows that there is our family in West Kunlun." Wei Tianyuan continued: "The girl's name is Ling Yuyan, and she is a disciple of the Qingcheng Sect. In August of last year, I met them on the way to Luoyang, and I made a little bit of trouble with them." Shangguan Feifeng said: "Oh, in August last year, on the way to Luoyang?" He seemed to want to say something, but he didn't say it. It turned out that August the year before last was the month when Luoyang's "Zhongzhou Hero" Xu Zhongyue married Luoyang's number one beauty, Jiang Xuejun.The two of Meng Ling and You Yang, a famous member of the Kongtong School, went to the Xu family's wedding banquet that time, while Wei Tianyuan rushed to Luoyang because he wanted to break up Xu Jiang's marriage. Shangguan Feifeng didn't ask further, but when Wei Tianyuan thought of what happened that day, he couldn't help but touch the wound in his heart again. That day he rushed to prevent Jiang Xuejun from marrying Xu Zhongyue, but Qi Shuyu rushed to stop him.When they met on the road, Qi Shuyu snatched Ling Yuyan's mount, Wei Tianyuan knocked down Ling Yuyan's sword, and threw Meng Zhongqiang off the horse. Wei Tianyuan sighed in his heart and thought: "I was restless that day, and I was really angry. But now both Xu Zhongyue and Jiang Xuejun are dead. Even if they still remember this trivial matter, I will I'm not in the mood to bring up the old story again, so I'm going to apologize to them. If you want to bear grudges, let them bear grudges." Meng Zhongqiang wasn't bragging, but his ability to steer the boat was really good.At this time, it has been rowed to the front. Suddenly Meng Zhongqiang sighed faintly, Ling Yuyan said: "Brother Meng, you seem to be upset?" Meng Zhongqiang said: "I don't know if I should believe that kind of words?" Ling Yuyan said: "So, dare you not believe that Wei Tianyuan is a big villain?" Shangguan Feifeng smiled and said: "It's about you. After all, the girl is a bit narrow-minded. It seems that Miss Ling's old hatred for you has not disappeared yet." Wei Tianyuan said: "Let's listen to what Meng Zhongqiang has to say." But he didn't hear Meng Zhongqiang's answer. Shangguan Feifeng smiled and said: "Whether you are a big villain or not, he probably hasn't been able to make a judgment for a while." Wei Tianyuan stepped out of the bow and said to Zhouzi: "Please follow the small boat ahead, but don't get too close. Here is some money for you as tea money." Zhouzi smiled and said, "You and them are very close friends, right?" Wei Tianyuan smiled and said, "Yes, I want to see how they flirt, but I don't want to alarm them." Zhouzi thought to himself, "How can you see when they put down the beaded curtains on the painting boat?" But he got the "tea money", and of course he followed the boat in front of him as the guests ordered.He is a boatman who grew up in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, and his rowing skills are much better than Meng Zhongqiang's. The light boat passes by without sound.They were not the only two boats on the lake, Meng Ling and the others didn't even notice that such a boat was following them. When Wei Tianyuan returned to the cabin, he heard Meng Zhongqiang say: "I don't know. But I know that Shen Gongda is a well-known Baodiao in Jianghu, and someone deliberately pronounced his name as Shen Gongbao. A person who speaks ill of others, likes to provoke right and wrong, and is afraid that the world will not be chaotic." Wei Tianyuan thought to himself: "It turns out that Shen Gongda, the 'Shunfeng Er', spoke ill of me. Hmph, this man also likes to gossip about others. I have no grievances or complaints with him, but why does he want to get on with me?" While thinking about it, Ling Yuyan could only hear Ling Yuyan saying: "To say he is Shen Gongbao is an exaggeration. He is not so bad yet." Meng Zhongqiang said: "But what if 'this is actually' is given to him?" Ling Yuyan smiled and said: "This is in line with his position. But although he often has the problem of not telling the truth, we believe the 'bad things' he said about Wei Tianyuan this time." Meng Zhongqiang said, "Why?" Wei Tianyuan also wanted to know why, so he listened attentively. The voices of Meng Ling and the others became softer and weaker, but both Wei Tianyuan and Shangguan Feifeng were people who practiced superior internal skills, and their hearing was different from ordinary people. Although they spoke very softly, they had not yet reached the level of a whisper.Wei Tianyuan practiced the profound art silently, listened attentively, and could hear every word. I only heard Ling Yuyan say: "Although Shen Gongda's words cannot be trusted, Mei Qingfeng is someone who can be trusted. He is the leader of a faction, and he was also a person who was present at the battle of the secret magic cliff. The things Shen Gongda said are actually similar to him. I got it, he was afraid that Daxia Chu and his son would be fooled by Wei Tianyuan, that's why he asked me to go to Yangzhou and tell them." Meng Zhongqiang said: "So, you believed in Shen Gongda because Mei Qingfeng believed in it?" Ling Yuyan said: "The people who were present that day, as well as the disciples of Shaolin, Wudang, Emei, Huashan, and Songshan sects, they all believed it." Meng Zhongqiang said: "Do you know that Mei Qingfeng is Xu Zhongyue's old friend?" Ling Yuyan said: "I know. But Mei Qingfeng is also an upright person, he will not frame Wei Tianyuan just to favor Xu Zhongyue." Meng Zhongqiang said: "It's hard to say. Didn't many people think Xu Zhongyue was an upright gentleman before? Otherwise, how could he get the title of Zhongzhou hero? But now, you and I both know that he is a hypocrite and a real villain." gone." Ling Yuyan was displeased, and said: "How can Xu Zhongyue compare with Mei Qingfeng? And the reason why he wants to deal with Wei Tianyuan has nothing to do with the killing of Xu Zhongyue. Jiang Xuejun and Xu Zhongyue died together. He also said to Jiang Xuejun sympathy." Meng Zhongqiang said: "By the way, I was not present at the meeting of the Mei family that day. I just heard a little about what they said about Wei Tianyuan, but I don't know the details. Can you tell me again?" Ling Yuyan thought for a while and said: "Yes, I was just about to ask you about this matter. In the battle of the secret magic cliff that day, Wei Tianyuan was able to escape thanks to the help of a woman. You can tell me about this matter. Got it?" Meng Zhongqiang said: "I heard people say it." Ling Yuyan said: "Do you know who that woman is?" Meng Zhongqiang said, "I don't know." Ling Yuyan said: "The woman's surname is Shangguan again, and her name is Feifeng." Hearing this, Wei Tianyuan smiled and said to Shangguan Feifeng: "It's your head." Meng Zhongqiang said: "Shangguan Feifeng, I've never heard of that name." Ling Yuyan said: "On the Kunlun Mountain, there is an imaginary sword spirit flag. If you don't serve the spirit flag, you will be punished by the imaginary sword. You are a disciple of the Kunlun School, you must have heard these four sentences, right?" Meng Zhongqiang looked at Qu Ran and said, "These four sentences are about Shangguan Yunlong. Oh, could it be that Shangguan Feifeng is Shangguan Yunlong's daughter?" Ling Yuyan said: "Yes, it is Shangguan Yunlong's daughter." Meng Zhongqiang said, "So what?" Ling Yuyan said: "So what? May I ask what kind of person Shangguan Yunlong is?" The implication seemed to be that Meng Zhongqiang knew why. Meng Zhongqiang thought for a while and said, "Probably someone between good and evil?" Ling Yuyan said: "Is there more righteousness, or more evil?" Meng Zhongqiang said: "It's very hard to say. He lives at the top of West Kunlun, more than a thousand miles away from us. I really don't know much about him." Ling Yuyan said: "Then why don't you just say 'don't know'? How do you explain the four words 'hard to say'?" Meng Zhongqiang said: "I know a little about him, all from the mouths of the elders in our school. What they say is not the same, some say that there is good in him, some say that he is good and evil, and some say that he is good. Or say he's an ambitious monster." Ling Yuyan said: "Therefore, you adopt one of the three theories. You probably think this is the more honest one, right?" Meng Zhongqiang acquiesced. Ling Yuyan said: "Does anyone say that he is a gentleman?" Meng Zhongqiang said, "Not really." Ling Yuyan said: "I seem to have heard you say that some of your Kunlun sect disciples have suffered from him, and your Kunlun sect has never dared to relax its guard against him?" Meng Zhongqiang said: "That's right, because no matter what, he can't be regarded as a member of the decent school. We must follow the motto of 'preparation and safety' towards him. But those fellow students were rejected by the members of the evil sect under him. Hurt. There are thirteen sects in the Western Regions who have embraced him as suzerain, but he is just taking pictures from a distance. His subordinates are mixed with dragons and snakes, and it is inevitable to do bad things. I am afraid he may not know that he hurt the Kunlun disciples." Ling Yuyan said: "You are very loyal. But you should be responsible for conniving your subordinates to do evil, right?" Hearing that she was right, Meng Zhongqiang nodded and said, "You're right. He has more evil spirits." Ling Yuyan said: "It's not just more evil. Do you want to know the fourth theory?" Meng Zhongqiang said, "Is that what Shen Gongda said?" Ling Yuyan said: "Mei Qingfeng and Taoist Tianji, one of the five elders of the Huashan School, also said the same." Meng Zhongqiang said: "What do they say?" Ling Yuyan said: "They say that Shangguan Yunlong is the biggest devil in the world!" Meng Zhongqiang said: "He is the biggest devil in the world, what about the White Camel Mountain Lord?" Ling Yuyan said: "Do you think that only the White Camel Mountain Lord can be called the number one devil in the world?" Meng Zhongqiang said: "Maybe White Camel Mountain Lord's martial arts is not as good as Shangguan Yunlong's, but in terms of the level of crimes, in my opinion, Shangguan Yunlong is far inferior to him. Just take the White Camel Mountain Master's Shenxian Pill as an example, I don't know how many people were killed." Ling Yuyan said: "You also only know one thing, not the other." Meng Zhongqiang said, "What's the second?" Ling Yuyan said: "The White Camel Mountain Lord is just a boy under Shangguan Yunlong's subordinates. The White Camel Mountain Lord came forward to preside over the drug trafficking, but the mastermind behind the production of drugs is Shangguan Yunlong!" Meng Zhongqiang said, "Who said that?" Ling Yuyan said: "It was said by Daoist Tianji. Daoist Wuji is one of the elders of Huashan. You should trust his words." Meng Zhongqiang fell silent. Shangguan Feifeng shook Wei Tianyuan's hand and said, "Brother Wei, do you trust me?" Wei Tianyuan nodded, and said: "I know these rumors are fabricated by people who have enemies with your family to slander your father." His answer like this was like expressing to Shangguan Feifeng that he didn't need her to say it, he already knew what she wanted to say.Shangguan Feifeng didn't need to argue, he already believed it. Shangguan Feifeng sighed: "Although my father's actions are sometimes unreasonable, he absolutely did not manufacture and sell drugs. However, as far as I know, that Taoist Tianji has nothing to do with my father, let alone talk about it." It’s not an enemy. I don’t know why this stinky Taoist priest wants to slander my father so viciously.” Wei Tianyuan said: "Don't be angry, you can always find out the truth in the future. Let's pay attention to what they say now." Meng Zhongqiang said: "Well, even if it is as you said, Shangguan Yunlong is the world's number one devil, it has nothing to do with his daughter. Wei Tianyuan has friendship with his daughter, so how can we say that Wei Tianyuan is also a bad guy?" Ling Yuyan said: "Do you know that Jiang Xuejun committed suicide?" Meng Zhongqiang said: "I've heard it said. I heard that she committed suicide after avenging her parents." Ling Yuyan said: "And she died in Wei Tianyuan's arms!" Then she said: "Why did she commit suicide after taking revenge? You are a smart person, can't you think of the reason?" Meng Zhongqiang said with a smile: "Thank you for your praise, but I still have this self-knowledge. If I'm considered a smart person, you should be Zhuge Zhuge. You should say it, I'm too lazy to guess." Ling Yuyan said: "Actually, the truth is not difficult to guess at all. Of course, Jiang Xuejun committed suicide because the person he liked had moved on." Meng Zhongqiang said: "You mean that Wei Tianyuan fell in love with Shangguan Feifeng?" Ling Yuyan said: "They have been together since they arrived in the capital, and they are very intimate. Many people have seen this with their own eyes. Can there be a fake?" Meng Zhongqiang said: "I also heard that they fought side by side at the Secret Demon Cliff, but—" Ling Yuyan sneered and said: "What else is there? I also heard a reliable news that after the incident at the Secret Demon Cliff, they have already lived together!" Shangguan Feifeng was so angry that his teeth were chattering, Wei Tianyuan said softly: "Tianjizi and Shen Gongda are the same breed, dogs don't grow ivory in their mouths, why should we pay attention to these rumors they fabricated!" Shangguan Feifeng said: "The decent disciples in your mind also believe it." Wei Tianyuan smiled and said: "Ling Yuyan, this girl has suffered from me. It was indeed my fault that I knocked down her sword that time. No wonder she wants to hold grudges against me. However, she spread this to hate me. The rumors have hurt you. But as long as we are open and aboveboard, it doesn't matter how many people believe the rumors." Shangguan Feifeng calmed down a bit, and said: "Okay, for the sake of an old debt you owe, I will let this girl go." Meng Zhongqiang sighed: "If it's as you said, I really feel worthless for Jiang Xuejun. Do you still remember that when we met Wei Tianyuan on the road, he was going to Luoyang to prevent Jiang Xuejun from getting married. " Ling Yuyan said: "Perhaps he was tempted by that demon girl, so maybe Fang Shi changed his mind. But a man who is easy to change his mind can't be regarded as a good person no matter what!" Meng Zhongqiang said: "You are right. However, he is not a good person, nor is he necessarily a big villain. From what you said, it seems that Taoist Priest Tianji and Mei Qingfeng should inform their fellow martial artists and attack them Woolen cloth." Ling Yuyan said: "That's right, Daoist Tianji and the others want to deal with these two shameless men and women, but it's not because of their shameless behavior in personal relationships." Meng Zhongqiang said: "What is that for?" Ling Yuyan said: "Because he has become the most powerful assistant of the world's biggest devil." Meng Zhongqiang laughed and said, "Did someone in the Xingxiu Sea in West Kunlun hear Shangguan Yunlong's public announcement? Otherwise, how would outsiders know about his manpower arrangement?" Ling Yuyan said with a straight face: "Your wisecracking words are too incomprehensible." Meng Zhongqiang said: "Okay, then I will ask Gao Ming for advice." Ling Yuyan said angrily: "Of course I'm not smart, but why should I be wise to advise such an obvious thing. Shangguan Yunlong only has one daughter, and Wei Tianyuan married his daughter, and she will be his half son. The most important person in him If it's not a son-in-law, could it be someone else? I heard that Shangguan Feifeng used her father's banner to save Wei Tianyuan from danger, and his family's Illusory Sword Spirit Banner will probably be passed on to Wei Tianyuan in the future." Meng Zhongqiang didn't have any special affection for Wei Tianyuan, but he still doubted what others said.Hearing what Ling Yuyan said, he fell silent.The spiritual flag of the Shangguan family once appeared on the Mystic Demon Cliff, and he already knew about it. Ling Yuyan continued: "Wei Tianyuan is the successor of Qi Yanran, the number one master in martial arts. Shangguan Yunlong is even more powerful after acquiring him. Of course, he is eager to have this son-in-law. Hmph, maybe their father and daughter planned this matter long ago! " Meng Zhongqiang said: "This matter—" Ling Yuyan said: "Of course it refers to that demon girl seducing Wei Tianyuan. The demon girl knew what father wanted, so she tried every means to kill Jiang Xuejun and snatch Wei Tianyuan over!" When Shangguan Feifeng heard this, his face paled, and he said in Wei Tianyuan's ear: "This time I've got you in trouble, it seems we'd better break up." Wei Tianyuan held her hand tightly and said, "Feifeng, I beg you to agree to one thing." Shangguan Feifeng said: "Say it." Wei Tianyuan seemed to be resting while he was about to talk, and said for a while, "Let's talk about it when we return to the shore after swimming in the lake." Shangguan Feifeng didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd, and said with a smile: "What is it, it's so mysterious. If it's a confidential matter, it's better to go back to the shore and talk about it, so as not to be eavesdropped." Wei Tianyuan said: "I'm not afraid of that. I'm sorry that Meng Zhongqiang and Ling Yuyan don't have such advanced internal strength, so they can hear us." It turned out that they used high-quality internal strength to condense their voices into a thread and send them to each other's ears, which is better than "whispering" "The sound is still low, and the boatman at the bow can't hear it. Shangguan Feifeng said: "Since you're not afraid, why don't you tell me?" Wei Tianyuan smiled and said, "Let's listen to others first." I could only hear Meng Zhongqiang sighing: "Whether Wei Tianyuan is good or bad, let alone, it is probably the biggest mistake in his life for him to date Shangguan Yunlong's daughter. Well, the successor of the Qi family and the number one person in the world The devil has become an in-law, so it's no wonder Chivalry wants to be wary of him. However, as far as I know, even though Yangzhou Chu Daxia has fought against him, I heard that he still has a good impression of him." Ling Yuyan said: "It is for this reason that Daoist Tianji and Mei Qingfeng want me to rush to Yangzhou. Don't let Daxia Chu and his son be fooled by him." Meng Zhongqiang said: "Didn't the witch go home with Wei Tianyuan? Why are you in such a hurry to report to Yangzhou?" Ling Yuyan said: "They have received definite news that the demon girl and Wei Tianyuan have changed their schedule and come to Jiangnan." Shangguan Feifeng was taken aback, forced a smile and said, "Their news is very well-informed." Wei Tianyuan wondered secretly, and thought to himself: "Both Feifeng and I have changed our appearance, why should we let others know." Who would have thought that even this matter was known to other people, only to hear Meng Zhongqiang say: "They have come to Jiangnan?" Ling Yuyan said: "I heard that the witch is quite good at transfiguration, Taoist Master Tianji estimates that they sneaked to Jiangnan , must not dare to show his true colors. Maybe he lives in the same inn as us." Meng Zhongqiang laughed and said, "No wonder you wanted to talk to me. So you were afraid that the walls have ears, so you eavesdropped on them. But, even if they are in Jinling at the moment, I'm afraid they wouldn't know to come to this inn, would they?" Ling Yuyan said: "It's hard to say that such a coincidence won't happen. It's always better to be prepared. It doesn't matter if someone eavesdrops, but it won't be worth it if they are murdered by them." Hearing this, Wei Tianyuan smiled and said, "There is only one inn beside Mochou Lake. It seems that they are also the distinguished guests of this inn. However, this girl probably never dreamed that she wanted to avoid us, but she still gave us an inn. We heard it." Shangguan Feifeng said: "Others imagine you so badly, you are still funny." "Do you think Wei Tianyuan is not so bad?" Ling Yuyan asked Meng Zhongqiang the same way on that boat. Meng Zhongqiang said: "I don't think he will kill us just because we want to report to Yangzhou. Even though it is not good for him." Ling Yuyan said: "Jiang Xuejun was killed by them, you still don't believe that Wei Tianyuan is a big villain?" Meng Zhongqiang said: "I didn't say that he is a good person. But sometimes it is difficult to distinguish between good and bad. For some people, he may do a bad thing today and a good thing tomorrow." Ling Yuyan said: "Whether it's more good or more bad, it can still be compared, right?" Meng Zhongqiang said: "That's right. But big right and wrong are easy to compare, and small right and wrong are hard to put on the scale." Ling Yuyan said: "I don't want to listen to the truth, why don't you just tell me what you think of Wei Tianyuan?" Meng Zhongqiang said: "I don't know much about him, so I dare not draw conclusions. I can only say another story about Wei Tianyuan. You can trust You Yang of the Kongtong School, right?" You Yang was with them that year People who went to Luoyang to drink Xu Zhongyue's wedding wine together. Ling Yuyan said: "Of course I can trust Uncle You. Did he say that Wei Tianyuan is a good person?" Meng Zhongqiang said: "He only told me one thing." Ling Yuyan said: "What is it?" Meng Zhongqiang said: "Wei Tianyuan's father was Wei Chenggang, one of the leaders of the rebel army. More than ten years ago, Wei Chenggang was indeed killed by Xu Zhongyue. Wei Tianyuan avenged his father, not as others said. He wants to rob Xu Zhongyue's wife. Wei Tianyuan has not yet joined the rebel army, but at least he is on the same path. Our Kunlun faction and Qingcheng faction, although they did not openly oppose the Qing Dynasty, they also secretly helped the rebel army ?" Ling Yuyan said: "There may not be no bad people in the rebel army. Wei Tianyuan's ruthlessness and lack of righteousness should be criticized no matter what." Meng Zhongqiang said: "You Yang didn't want to help him, but he had to help Yangzhou hero Chu Jinsong." Ling Yuyan said: "Oh, it turns out that he was also afraid that Hero Chu would be implicated by Wei Tianyuan." Meng Zhongqiang said: "Not bad. But his starting point is different from that of Taoist Priest Tianji." Ling Yuyan said: "How is it different?" Meng Zhongqiang said: "Chu Jinsong's avoidance of the battle at the secret magic cliff this time has already aroused Mu Zhiyao's suspicion. I heard that Mu Zhiyao has secretly sent experts to the south, using these experts to monitor Chu Jinsong to see if he is with Wei Wei. Tianyuan has contacts." Ling Yuyan said: "In this way, if Wei Tianyuan went to find Chu Jinsong, wouldn't he be throwing himself into a trap?" Meng Zhongqiang said: "Yes. That's why Senior You Yang asked me to go to Yangzhou to report the news, so that Hero Chu can be prepared. This method also has the intention of secretly protecting Wei Tianyuan." Ling Yuyan said: "I don't understand this. If the Great Xia Chu didn't come out in person, how could he protect Wei Tianyuan secretly?" Meng Zhongqiang said: "I just want him to come forward in person." Ling Yuyan said: "Won't that make him suffer instead? Isn't it contrary to Senior You's original intention?" Meng Zhongqiang said: "Senior You didn't want Hero Chu to help Wei Tianyuan fight, but he can do whatever he can." Ling Yuyan said: "How can I follow the plan?" Meng Zhongqiang said: "Isn't Daoist Tianji and his group just informing their fellow martial artists that they want to deal with Wei Tianyuan? Hero Chu can use his plan to preside over the matter in Yangzhou. When the news spread, Wei Tianyuan would not dare to go to him home." Ling Yuyan said: "But if Wei Tianyuan has really helped the evildoers and let him go, wouldn't it be a disaster for the martial arts? Do you know that the plan of Daoist Tianji and Mei Qingfeng is exactly the opposite of the plan you said. They want to Hero Chu tried to trap Wei Tianyuan." Meng Zhongqiang said: "Hero Chu acted aboveboard all his life, he refused to do so." Ling Yuyan said: "But in order to eliminate troubles in the martial arts, it is not impossible for the heroes of Chu to use their power to make changes. There is also a saying that calls etiquette to Yao and Shun, and uses swords and soldiers to Jie and Zhou. If Wei Tianyuan is really a big villain, he must be treated. Is it aboveboard?" Meng Zhongqiang said, "What do you mean?" Ling Yuyan said: "It depends on what you mean. If you hold the same opinion as I do, Hero Chu will not let Wei Tianyuan go." She didn't answer directly, but it was like saying that she agreed with Taoist Tianji. claim. 孟仲强道：“那我怎样向游老前辈交代，游老前辈是想保护卫天元的。” 凌玉燕道：“梅家之会，游老前辈并不在场。要是他知道了卫天元和上官云龙的关系，他的主意也会改变的！” 孟仲强本来想说：“这不过是你的揣测而已”，但一来他不愿拂逆凌玉燕的意思，二来他也确实不敢断定卫天元是好是坏。心中举棋不定，只好不说话了。 凌玉燕道：“怎么样？你还拿不定主意吗？” 孟仲强委决不下，说道：“我不欲楚大侠为难，他在京师已经避开秘魔崖之战，显然是想置身事外的。咱们又何必将他卷入漩涡？” 凌玉燕道：“只可惜事到如今，已是不容他置身事外了。你想想卫天元和那妖女是业已改容易貌了的，他们到了扬州，只怕也没人认得他们，除了等待他们自投罗网，还有什么更好的办法？” 孟仲强道：“你怎拿得准他们一定会到楚家？” 凌玉燕道：“我不是对你说过了吗，天玑道长早已打听到他们潜来江南的消息，这消息是十分可靠的。” 孟仲强道：“那也不见得卫天元一定会去拜访楚大侠呀。” 凌玉燕道：“有一件事情也许你尚未知道，卫天元的师妹齐漱玉如今正是在扬州楚家。他不去找楚大侠也要去见见他的师妹的。何况凡事总是有备方能无患，任何一种机会都不能放过。这句话也是天玑道长说的。” 孟仲强道：“好，那咱们就把天玑道长和游老前辈这两方面的意思，都转达给楚大侠就是。他怎样做由他自己决定。” 凌玉燕道：“但他若不出手对付卫天元，穆志遥只怕就要对付他了。” 孟仲强道：“我也知道有这一重危险，但事情的两面，依我想都是不该瞒骗楚大侠的。否则岂不是陷楚大侠于不义？” 凌玉燕道：“卫天元迷恋妖女，投靠魔头，那已是属于妖邪一流了。楚大侠对付他，怎能说是不义？” 孟仲强道：“这是你的想法，楚大侠怎样想，咱们不知道，还是由他自行决定的好。” 凌玉燕知道孟仲强的脾气，虽然一百件事情有九十九件他会依从她，但若他执拗一件事情，那也是很难说得服他的。当下只好同意，说道：“好吧，咱们只管把口信带到，以后就是楚大侠的事了。依我想，他是该会赞同天玑道长这一派的主张的。正经事已经说完，咱们可以放松心情游湖了。” 孟仲强苦笑道：“我可还没心情游湖。” 凌玉燕嗔道：“你这人真煞风景，好，你要回去，那就回去吧。” 卫天元道：“咱们怎样？”上官飞凤道：“让他们先回去，我倒是还想游湖呢。” 她口里是这样说，心中却另有所思：“天元不知要我答应什么事情，一定要到岸上才和我说？” 小船在湖中兜了一个圈子，卫天元估计孟凌二人早已回转客店，他见上官飞凤好象有点心神不属的样子，便道：“月亮已过天中，咱们也该回去了。” 回到岸上，卫天元默默前行，并没为她解开那个疑团。上官飞凤不便催他，只好与他并肩漫步。 画船都已靠岸，游人早已散了。只有他们二人在翠堤踏月。 上官飞凤低声吟诵一副对联：“才经过禅关，却怜桃叶飘零。六代湖山谁作主？” 这是上联，下联尚未背诵出来，卫天元忽地回过头来说道：“湖山或许咱们不能作主，咱们自身的命运却是可以由得咱们作主！” 上官飞凤心中一动，说道：“天元，你心里在想什么？” 卫天元道：“你先告诉我，你是在想什么？” 上官飞凤道：“我想、我想……我们还是分手的好！” 卫天元道：“你怕了那些恶毒的谣言？” 上官飞凤道：“不是我怕，我只是不想你受牵累。那些侠义道口口声声骂我是妖女，你和我在一起，不怕身败名裂么？” 卫天元道：“天玑道人、申公达、梅清风那些人也不见得就是侠义道。” 上官飞凤道：“但他们的话却是有许多人相信的。人言可畏——” 卫天元哈哈大笑起来。 上官飞凤道：“你笑什么？” 卫天元道：“我以为你是独往独来的女中豪杰，什么都不怕的。谁知你却害怕人言，嘿嘿，这不是很可笑么？” 上官飞凤道：“我不觉得可笑。因为这不是我一个人的事情，是牵连了你的！” 卫天元道：“你知道我怎样想吗？” 上官飞凤道：“这正是我要问你的呀！” 卫天元道：“其实我已对你说过了，咱们自身的命运该由咱们自己作主。” 上官飞凤道：“我还是不懂你的意思。” 卫天元忽地柔声道：“飞凤，你愿不愿意做我的妻子？” 上官飞凤又惊又喜，说道：“你向我求婚？” 卫天元道：“本来我是应该向你爹爹说的，但我等不及去见你的爹爹了，你答应了我，我才能够安心。” 上官飞凤摇了摇头。 卫天元急道：“求求你答应我吧。你不答应我，我不死也要变成疯狂。” 上官飞凤道：“我是人们痛骂的妖女，你也要娶我为妻？” 卫天元道：“就因为那些人骂你，我非娶你为妻不可！” 上官飞凤道：“你娶了我，岂不正是应了那些恶毒的谣言？那时，本来不信谣言的人也会信以为真了！” 卫天元道：“我不怕那些恶毒谣言，我只怕那些谣言损了你女儿家的清白。我以为只有我们结成夫妻，才是对付那些谣言最好的法子。” 上官飞凤说道：“我明白了，你是因为别人造我的谣，说我犯贱来勾引你，你要给我面子，才向我求婚？” 卫天元的确是曾有过这种想法，但此时此际，他又怎能直认不讳？当下说道：“飞凤，请你别这样想。当今之世，你是对我最好的人，即使没有那些恶毒的谣言，我也希望得到象你这样的好妻子。”虽然他向上官飞凤求婚，主要的原因不是只因她“好”，但这几句话倒也是出自内心的。 上官飞凤道：“你忘得了雪君姐姐吗？” 卫天元叹道：“我不能对你说谎，我当然不能忘记雪君的。但正如你劝过我的那句话：人死不能复生，活人总不能为了死人什么事情都不去做。有一件事情，也许你未知道——” 上官飞凤道：“什么事情？” 卫天元道：“她是死在我的怀里的，临死的时候，她也是希望你能够替代她的。” 上官飞凤道：“你就是因为她这句话才要——” 卫天元道：“唉，你要我怎样说才好呢？” 上官飞凤道：“我要你说真话！” 卫天元道：“好，我剖开心腹和你说吧！以前我心里只有一个姜雪君，没有别的人，我甘愿为她身败名裂，现在我心里只有你，没有别的人，我也甘愿为你身败名裂。我爱你就象以前爱雪君一样！” 上官飞凤笑靥如花，玉指在他额头一戳，说道：“你真是个傻瓜！” 卫天元道：“你肯答应我这傻瓜的求婚吗？” 上官飞凤叹道：“唉，谁叫我也是傻瓜呢！” 卫天元大喜说道：“多谢你甘愿跟我做对傻瓜夫妻，我也不求白头偕老，只盼与你生死同衾。” 上官飞凤笑道：“你倒有自知之明，你是小魔头，我是小妖女，魔头与妖女合在一起，咱们这一生的确是难以指望平安度过了。”笑声未了，忽地又叹口气。 卫天元道：“怎么又叹气了。俗语说得好：今朝有酒今朝醉，明日愁来明日当……” 上官飞凤道：“我不是担心未来的事。我是为你叹息。” 卫天元道：“为我叹息什么？” 上官飞凤道：“你是齐家的衣钵传人，齐家的前车之鉴，你却好象一点也不在乎。唉，你现在不在乎，只怕你将来会后悔的。” 卫天元道：“前车之鉴？哦，你是说我的师叔齐勒铭吗？” 上官飞凤道：“你知不知道，齐勒铭是我爹爹最看重的人。爹爹常说，齐燕然早称天下武功第一，恐怕未必能够作为定论，但齐勒铭青出于蓝，却是最有希望成为名副其实的天下第一高手的。可惜，他和银狐那段孽缘把他毁了。”卫天元道：“你可知道我这师叔的下落么？” 上官飞凤道：“听说他已经自废武功，跟银狐走了。”说至此处，又再问道：“你不怕重蹈你这位师叔的覆辙？” 卫天元道：“你可知道我最佩服的人是谁？” 上官飞凤故意说道：“是你爷爷？” 卫天元道：“爷爷疼爱我有如孙儿，我敬爱他，但他还不是我最佩服的人。”卫天元在齐家长大，他是和齐漱玉一样，把齐燕然称呼“爷爷”的。 上官飞凤道：“那么是扬州大侠楚劲松吧？” 卫天元道：“楚大侠的确是侠义可风，而且也是性情中人。但我自问不是做侠义道的材料，他也还不是我最佩服的人。” 上官飞凤道：“那我可猜不着了，是谁呢？” 卫天元说道：“就是我的这位师叔。我佩服他敢于独往独来，不理人家毁誉。在别人眼中，他或许有许多缺点，但这些缺点，在我眼中都是可爱的！” 上官飞凤轻轻说道：“你敢做齐勒铭，我也不怕做穆娟娟。” 两人不觉拥抱在一起，两颗心也合在一起了。 半晌，上官飞凤推开了他，说道：“月已西斜，再不回去，客店的人会起疑了。” 卫天元笑道：“这间客店的规矩是听凭贵客自便，他们的客人也是名副其实的贵客，只要你付得起房钱，几时回去，他们才不理会你呢。”话虽如此，还是回去了。 两人携手同行，彼此都听得见对方心跳的声音。经过一座凉亭，卫天元忽道：“你瞧，这副对联也不错吧？” 月光明亮，上官飞凤低声念道：
