Chapter 8 The Eighth Chapter: Dreams, Destiny, Three Lives, Injustices, Floating, Puffy, Two Generations of Love and Enmity

She called softly: "Sister Shu, sister Shu." Qi Shuyu thought to himself: If she knew that I was still asleep, she might be embarrassed to go out alone to accompany her Senior Brother Chu, so she also pretended to be asleep and did nothing. Voice.Unexpectedly, Jiang Xuejun had already seen through her disguise, and was secretly amused.It turned out that the two of them were fighting each other, Jiang Xuejun just wanted her to know, but deliberately pretended to hide it from her, and went out to meet Chu Tianshu privately. Chu Tianshu was leaning on the sideboard looking at the moon, thinking about it, when he suddenly saw Jiang Xuejun walking in front of him, he was startled.

Jiang Xuejun's white clothes are like snow, standing on the bow of the boat, the river breeze blows gently, and her clothes flutter. Under the hazy moonlight, she looks even more elegant and elegant, and has a somewhat "mysterious" beauty.It gave Chu Tianshu the feeling that she was the Goddess of Luoshui, who would not eat fireworks in the world, coming with small steps on Lingbo. Chu Tianshu was stunned for a moment, and said, "Junior Sister, why are you still awake?" Jiang Xuejun said: "I've already slept through it. Brother, I heard someone recite poems, what are you thinking about?"

Chu Tianshu said: "I'm sorry, I woke you up." When Jiang Xuejun asked him what was on his mind, he avoided answering. Jiang Xuejun said: "I have already woken up, I heard the poem you read, it seems that there are sentences that miss Yangzhou, are you homesick?" Chu Tianshu smiled and said: "I don't know how to make poetry. I read the word 'Congratulations to the Bridegroom' written by Song Dynasty poet Zhang Yuanqian. It’s about Yangzhou Dream’. However, Du Mu’s poetry and Zhang Yuanqian’s words are very different, one is about the love of children, and the other is about the thoughts of the homeland.”

Jiang Xuejun smiled and said: "I don't understand poetry. If you explain it to me, I still don't understand it. Brother, don't laugh at me for misunderstanding, because I often hear people say that Yangzhou is a place with very beautiful scenery, so when I heard There is the word Yangzhou in the lyrics, so I thought you were homesick." Chu Tianshu said: "You guessed right, I am indeed a little homesick. Junior sister! I was able to find you this time, and I can comfort my father when I go back." Jiang Xuejun said: "You have only been away from home for more than a month! Are you going back so soon?"

Chu Tianshu said: "I came out this time on the order of my father to inquire about Jiang Shishu. Unfortunately, Jiang Shishu has passed away. I should have taken you back to Yangzhou, but Shimei, you already have a place to live and work, so, so... ..." Jiang Xuejun frowned, and said, "So you thought I already had a place to live, so you ignored me?" Chu Tianshu's heart skipped a beat, and he said: "Junior Sister, I am serious. I am not ignoring you, but because I already know that there is someone who is ten times as capable as me, and he will definitely help you. I am not needed."

Jiang Xuejun smiled and said: "I know you are talking about Wei Tianyuan, why, are you still angry?" Chu Tianshu said lightly: "His martial arts are better than mine, and his friendship with you is deeper than mine. How dare I be angry with him?" Jiang Xuejun chuckled and said, "Aren't you saying you're not angry? You're not only angry with him, but I'm afraid you're also angry with me. Sigh, senior brother, I didn't blame you, you are really a little confused!" Chu Tianshu was stunned for a while and said, "Why am I confused? Ask me!"

Jiang Xuejun said: "Yes, that night, he misunderstood you for no reason, he was wrong. But why should you worry about such a trivial matter? You can't just ignore me just because he helped me!" Chu Tianshu said in a low voice: "It's not that I don't want to help you, I'm just afraid that he won't like me!" Jiang Xuejun smiled and said, "You don't intend to live in Qi's family, do you?" Chu Tianshu was taken aback for a moment, and said, "What do you mean by that?" Jiang Xuejun said: "You answer my question first."

Chu Tianshu said: "I've already said that I'm going home. I'm going to send you to Qi's house for a maximum of three or two days, and I'm about to break up with you." Jiang Xuejun said: "In this way, we may not be able to see Wei Tianyuan in Qi's house. And even if he has returned to Qi's house now, we can only get along with him for three or two days at most, right?" She said "we" twice in a row, and Chu Tianshu couldn't help being a little suspicious, and said, "For me, it's true. But for you..." Jiang Xuejun immediately went on to say: "It's the same for me."

Chu Tianshu was surprised: "Are you planning to leave even if you can't see Wei Tianyuan?" Jiang Xuejun said: "Yes, I hope to meet him, and I hope he can help me, but this is because my enemy is also his enemy. But when it comes to closeness, he can't compare with you. I can't rely on him forever. If he is willing to help me, it is because I have the same enemy as him; if he refuses to help me, I will not blame him, but it is different with you. I can justifiably ask you for help, no other reason is needed." Chu Tianshu said: "Wait a minute, wait a moment. We are brothers and sisters of the same family. Of course your enemy is also my enemy. In this regard, Wei Tianyuan and I are the same. We should both help you. But you Another sentence, I don't quite understand."

Jiang Xuejun said: "Which sentence is it?" Chu Tianshu said: "You talk about closeness, he can't compare with me. Don't tell me, in your mind, do you think you are closer to me than you are to him?" Jiang Xuejun said slowly: "Yes, Wei Tianyuan was my neighbor when I was young. We can be said to be childhood sweethearts. However, you probably have many childhood friends like this? But you are my senior brother, don't you think so?" Do you think siblings are not as close as neighbors?" Her answer was beyond Chu Tianshu's expectation, but Chu Tianshu couldn't refute her words, so he had no choice but to remain silent for a while.

Jiang Xuejun continued: "Therefore, no matter whether I can see Wei Tianyuan in Qi's family or not, I will leave. You don't want your fellow apprentices to always depend on others, do you?" Chu Tianshu said: "I'm afraid you can't say that you are living under the fence?" Jiang Xuejun said: "I am not related to the Qi family, and it is true that Miss Qi and I hit it off right away, but compared to you, she can only be regarded as an outsider." Chu Tianshu said: "I'm not talking about the Qi family, I'm talking about Wei Tianyuan. Wei Tianyuan and you can't be called 'outsiders', right? Yes, he is currently living in the Qi family, which is equal to a member of the Qi family, but always One day, he's going to stand on his own." Jiang Xuejun said: "I have already said that even if Wei Tianyuan is not an outsider, he is just my childhood friend. Do you think I should always rely on him?" Chutian Shu said slowly: "I, I thought..." Jiang Xuejun said: "What do you think?" Chu Tianshu thought to himself: "Why don't you open the skylight and talk brightly to her?" Raising his eyebrows, he said: "Junior Sister, I have a few words from my heart, I wonder if you would like to listen to them?" Jiang Xuejun said: "Say it!" Chu Tianshu said: "Wei Tianyuan really loves you, I know that. Although you are married into the Xu family, you and Xu Zhongyue have not yet formally married, and the names of the husband and wife have not yet been determined, not to mention that Xu Zhongyue has confirmed It's your father-killer and enemy. Of course you don't have to keep the chastity for him. It's reasonable for you to marry Wei Tianyuan, so you don't need to pay attention to other people's gossip! What's more, things will always come to light. When the true face of Xing is known to everyone in the world, no one will criticize you!" Jiang Xuejun sighed and said: "There is no reason for what you said. Of course I will not still regard myself as Xu Zhongyue's wife, but you are completely wrong about one thing!" Chu Tianshu said: "Where is the mistake?" Jiang Xuejun said: "I'm just Wei Tianyuan's childhood friend, not his old lover!" Chu Tianshu said: "I thought he liked you, but you also like him?" Jiang Xuejun said: "Wrong! Do you think that when I broke up with him, I was just a little girl under ten years old, what kind of love do I know? I like him just like I like a big brother!" Chu Tianshu was heartbroken, and said in a low voice: "But Wei Tianyuan, he, he really loves you." Jiang Xuejun said: "Perhaps he doesn't know whether it is love or liking?" Chu Tianshu said: "You mean, in fact, there is only a brother-sister relationship between you? But since your two families were in trouble, and looking back at the cause of the trouble, maybe he will think that the reason why you ruined your family is completely He was implicated by his family. Therefore, he has a feeling of self-blame towards you, and when we meet again after a long absence, he loves you even more." Jiang Xuejun stayed for a while, then sighed quietly, and said: "Senior Brother, I have seen a pair of couplets. The first couplet is: insight into world affairs is knowledge; You can also be so discerning about the world and people." She made use of the topic, and it goes without saying that she agreed with Chu Tianshu's opinion. But when she said this, she felt a dull pain in her heart, and she thought to herself: "Brother Yuan's feelings for me, is it really as he said?" Chu Tianshu looked into her eyes, and said slowly: "However, from shame to pity, from pity to love, after a long time, it will become true love." Jiang Xuejun avoided his gaze, and said: "I have already said, whether I see Wei Tianyuan in Qi's house or not, I will leave." At this point, he chuckled: "So you don't have to worry about him looking at you. Lah! When you left, I have already left too!" Having said so far, there is no need to explain, since they are not with Wei Tianyuan, and they may even leave Qi's house when they see Wei Tianyuan, then why would Wei What about Tian Yuan's "dislike"? Chu Tian shook his heart, he could almost hear his own heartbeat, quickly calmed down, and said in a joking tone: "Aren't you being too cruel? No matter whether Wei Tianyuan 'loves' you or likes you, he I still can't bear to let you go, right?" Jiang Xuejun said: "You are wrong again. Don't you know that there is someone who truly loves him? He is even more reluctant to leave this person. He can't find me. He may feel a little sad at first, but after a long time, it will be fine. He If you get a true lover, you will gradually forget about me." Chu Tianshu said: "Who is this person?" Jiang Xuejun: "It's far away in the sky, but it's close in front of you." Chu Tianshu said: "No, it's close in the cabin, right?" Jiang Xuejun smiled and said: "Yes, so you are asking the question knowingly!" Chu Tianshu said: "But has he already fallen in love with this person?" Jiang Xuejun said: "I think so. During the two days I spent with him, he often mentioned his junior sister. And because he knew that his junior sister had not left Luoyang, he was very worried. This is not love, but what is it? But he didn't tell me clearly .” Qi Shuyu's heart felt sweet when he heard it, and thought to himself: "So Yuan brother still misses me, he didn't lie to me!" She remembered what Wei Tianyuan had said to her again. That night, Wei Tianyuan was going back to Luoyang to find Jiang Xuejun and told her to go home alone.She was unwilling, and blamed him for being infatuated with a heartless woman.At that time, Wei Tianyuan smiled wryly and said: "Little sister, you don't understand. She was my best friend when I was young. I just don't want her to marry Xu Zhongyue, whom I hate." At that time, he hadn't found enough evidence to prove that Xu Zhongyue He is also one of his father-killing enemies, but he already knows that Xu Zhongyue is a hypocrite with hypocrisy.He didn't answer her question directly, but he explained that the reason why he had to meet Jiang Xuejun was to find out whether Xu Zhongyue was related to the murder of his father. Now she has eavesdropped on the conversation between Jiang Xuejun and Chu Tianshu, what Jiang Xuejun said coincides with what Wei Tianyuan said, a girl who is just in love always likes to think about the benefits, and she also believes in the person her Brother Yuan really loves It's her. However, she was still a little worried about gains and losses, and thought to herself: "It seems that Sister Jiang is already in love with her senior brother. It would be the best if Chu Tianshu also loves her." Thoughts were still on, I only heard Chu Tianshu say: "I only said that I will break up with you in two days, but I don't know that you don't plan to live in Qi's family, so maybe we won't break up so quickly I'm here." It turned out that he originally wanted to invite Jiang Xuejun to go home with him, but he was afraid of being too abrupt and worried about gains and losses, so he used a tentative tone first. Jiang Xuejun said with a half-smile: "That depends on whether you are afraid of being dragged by me?" Chu Tianshu said: "What are you talking about? You said that we are brothers and sisters from the same family, not outsiders!" Jiang Xuejun said: "The encumbrance I'm talking about doesn't just refer to the disaster that Xu Zhongyue will embarrass you, but refers to your reputation. Are you not afraid of gossip?" Chu Tianshu said: "Oh, so you are afraid that Xu Zhongyue will accuse me of abducting his wife?" Jiang Xuejun said: "That night, he already said so." Chu Tianshu said: "I'm not afraid. That night, you were finally rescued by Wei Tianyuan." Jiang Xuejun said: "I know they will also suspect that I have an affair with Wei Tianyuan, but I don't have to be afraid of hurting Wei Tianyuan's reputation. Because the facts are not true, when he and his junior sister get married, there will be rumors about him It will calm down naturally." Chu Tianshu said: "I'm not afraid either!" Jiang Xuejun asked softly, "Who is in your family?" Chu Tianshu said: "Besides my parents, I only have a half-sister." Jiang Xuejun said: "Oh, isn't your current mother your own mother?" Chu Tianshu said: "My mother has passed away long ago. However, my stepmother treats me as if she were her own." Jiang Xuejun sighed: "Then your luck is much better than mine. Well, is there anyone else?" Chu Tianshu said: "It's just a family of four." Jiang Xuejun said: "So, you are not married yet?" Chu Tianshu's heart warmed up, and he said, "Don't laugh at me for being too high on myself. Although there are many people who say goodbye to me, but before I came to Luoyang, I haven't met a woman I like!" The implication is that after he came to Luoyang this time, he has already met a woman who is enough to make him fall in love. Jiang Xuejun deliberately asked: "Is it Miss Qi?" Chu Tianshu smiled and said: "You must not say that, it will be terrible for Wei Tianyuan to hear. How dare I rob his sweetheart." Jiang Xuejun said: "Since you are not married yet, how can you not be afraid of gossip? Brother, it doesn't matter if I'm with you, but it will damage your reputation. When you meet someone you like in the future, the young lady will not dare to marry you That would be bad!" Chu Tianshu's face was red and her ears were hot, her heart was beating wildly. She almost wanted to propose to Jiang Xuejun, but she didn't dare. After a while, she said in a trembling voice: "As long as you are not afraid, I am not afraid either!" His voice was trembling, and his fingers were trembling. When he was speaking, he wanted to reach out to hold Jiang Xuejun's hand, but for some reason, his fingers didn't listen to him, so he could only wait for his junior sister's reaction. Jiang Xuejun saw it in his eyes, secretly amused in his heart.I thought to myself: "If this continues, I'm afraid it will be a fake show. I can't let him misunderstand that I really want to recommend myself!" It was inconvenient for her to say it clearly, but suddenly she got an idea, when Chu Tianshu approached her unknowingly, she suddenly stretched out her hand to hold him. Chu Tianshu was overjoyed, and just about to confess his love, he suddenly felt her fingers writing on his palm. Chu Tianshu settled down and tried to figure out her "strokes". Jiang Xuejun rewrote it, so that he could be sure what word she wrote. What Jiang Xuejun wrote on his palm was: In front of Miss Qi, please pretend to be intimate with me! Chu Tianshu is not a fool, he immediately understood! The enthusiasm that was already on the verge of burning suddenly cooled down. Coincidentally, a dark cloud floated in the sky, making the hazy moonlight even more hazy.As dark as his mood. Although the enthusiasm in his heart had cooled down, he still had to force his face and said: "Junior Sister, you are not afraid of people's words, then, that's fine. I, I think..." Simple words are not spoken fluently.Jiang Xuejun had a strange feeling that his voice seemed a little sour. Jiang Xuejun gently withdrew her hand, and said softly: "Brother, what are you thinking?" Chu Tianshu could feel the soreness in her heart, her tenderness was actually a fake. But he already understood the painstaking efforts of his junior sister: "I still have to help her sing this play." He thought. "Father will be very happy if he finds out that the old man has a daughter. Would you like to go back to Yangzhou with me to meet him?" Jiang Xuejun said: "Your father is my uncle, I should have gone to visit his old man." Chu Tianshu said: "If you don't dislike it, you can treat my home as your home." Jiang Xuejun said: "I have no relatives and no reason, and I have nowhere to go to at this time. Brother, thank you for taking me in." Feeling for my life experience, these few words touched my heart, and I choked up slightly. Chu Tianshu didn't know what was going on in his heart, so he could only say: "Junior Sister, don't say that, we should be like a family, right?" Before they knew it, the two held hands again.This time, it seemed that it was a genuine feeling from the heart, not a fake show. Neither of them spoke, and the dark clouds in the sky did not disperse. Qi Shuyu pretended to be asleep and pricked up his ears to listen.The excitement of the mood is the same as theirs. However, her excitement did not contain any element of sadness. Yes, she was like Jiang Xuejun, with tears in her eyes, but those were the tears shed from the shock of unexpected joy. She was imagining their feelings. Chu Tianshu's trembling and intermittent words gave Jiang Xuejun the feeling of a "sour" voice, but she felt the excitement of love. "Sister Jiang is the most beautiful woman in Luoyang. Chu Tianshu knew that his junior sister loved him. No wonder he was so happy that he could barely speak." She thought. "Why don't they talk anymore? Ah, yes, they are irresistible at this moment, and of course there is no need to talk." She was rejoicing for them and herself, and when she was thinking about it, she suddenly felt as if There is a person beside me. She closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, but she could still feel the man's breath without opening her eyes. She thought it must be Jiang Xuejun who came back. She was afraid that she would find out that he was pretending to be asleep, so she dared not open her eyes and continued to pretend to be asleep. But I felt something was wrong, that person didn't fall asleep, if Jiang Xuejun came back, she shouldn't be standing by the bed all the time. That person's fingers lightly touched her hair, very light, very light, as light as a spring breeze blowing, but Qi Shuyu could feel that it was not the breeze blowing in from the river through the bead curtain, what touched her hair was There was something substantial, and she could even feel the man's fingertips trembling. Surprised, she opened her eyes quickly, pretending to wake up suddenly, and stretched out her hand to grab it. Although the shot was quick, it was still empty. She is a person who practices hidden weapons, as long as it is not too dark, at least she can see a vague figure.But she didn't see anything, only felt that there was a breeze, and that person had suddenly "disappeared". This time, she was really scared! "Sister Jiang, Sister Jiang!" She couldn't help calling out. Jiang Xuejun responded outside: "Sister Shu, are you awake?" She couldn't help being surprised when she heard Qi Shuyu's surprised call. "Didn't she pretend to be asleep just now, did she really fall asleep? She woke up and suddenly found that I was not by her side, so she screamed." "Sister Jiang, where are you? Was it you who was in this room just now?" Qi Shuyu asked her hastily with a trembling voice. Jiang Xuejun was taken aback for a moment, and said: "Don't be afraid, I was talking to Brother Chu just now, so I came back to accompany you!" She only thought that Qi Shuyu was having a nightmare again. Qi Shuyu shivered, and screamed: "No, there seemed to be someone beside my bed just now!" "What? There is a person, this, how could this..." Before the words were finished, Chu Tianshu suddenly said: "Hey, it's strange, I also feel that there is someone..." The dark clouds had dispersed, Chu Tianshu stared at the shore, and vaguely saw a figure, but it disappeared in a blink of an eye.It turned out that he had already noticed that the boat seemed to sway slightly. Based on his experience, he could judge that it was not due to the propulsion of the current. Chu Tianshu said: "Hurry up and accompany Miss Qi, I'll go ashore and have a look." Jiang Xuejun was dubious, walked into the cabin, Qi Shuyu had already lit the oil lamp, his face was still full of panic. Jiang Xuejun said: "Are you dreaming?" Qi Shuyu said: "I've already woken up, it's really not a dream. Didn't Chu Tianshu say the same?" In desperation, she could only tell the truth, but she didn't expect to cover up that she was just pretending to sleep. Jiang Xuejun had no choice but to believe it. But who can have such a skill, unexpectedly hide it from Chu Tianshu and her eyes, not only stepping on this small boat, but also entering the cabin, they didn't realize it at all?Until he left, Chu Tianshu Fang became suspicious? Although she and Chu Tianshu had their own concerns just now, and there happened to be dark clouds covering the moon in the sky, such a brilliant ability was enough to shock her endlessly. "Obviously this person has no malicious intentions. Who is he? Who is he?" Jiang Xuejun couldn't help being confused. Suddenly a figure jumped out of her mind, and she answered herself in her heart: "It must be Brother Yuan, it must be Brother Yuan! He heard my conversation with Senior Brother Chu and thought I really fell in love with him. Brother, he didn't want to show up, he left sadly!" "Sister Shu, calm down, stay for a while, I'll come as soon as I go. I don't know who that person is, I'm afraid Brother Chu will make a mistake." Jiang Xuejun took this excuse and left the boat to go ashore. She didn't want to explain to Wei Tianyuan, but she wished that Wei Tianyuan would misunderstand her; wasn't that because Wei Tianyuan and Chu Tianshu would fight?Nor is it.She knew Wei Tianyuan well, even though they had been separated for many years.She knew that with Wei Tianyuan's haughty personality, if he heard what she said to his senior brother just now, he would only be sad for himself, and would never play hooligan tricks and beat Chu Tianshu to vent his anger. Even she didn't want to see Wei Tianyuan again, but she couldn't wait to run ashore.What for?I'm afraid she doesn't know it herself.This can only be attributed to her mood of "continuously cutting, making things messy"? What Jiang Xuejun thought of, Qi Shuyu also thought of. She watched Jiang Xuejun fly ashore, was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said in her heart: "It must be Brother Yuan! It must be my Brother Yuan! He secretly saw me coming. Hey, Brother Yuan, why don't you dare to show up in an open and aboveboard manner? Afraid to let Sister Jiang know, are you embarrassed? Or is it because you and Brother Chu still have a grudge, and you don't want to meet me in front of him?" She was also looking for "reasons" for Wei Tianyuan's reluctance to show up, and she only hoped that his Brother Yuan would come back after both Chu and Jiang had landed. "If Brother Yuan finds out that Sister Jiang has fallen in love with Brother Chu, he will return to me sooner or later. But I still hope that he will come back immediately!" A girl caught in love always likes to look out for the best, but unfortunately this time she was disappointed, her Brother Yuan did not come back. Not only Jiang Xuejun and Qi Shuyu thought this way, but Chu Tianshu also thought this way, thinking that this ghostly night walker must be Wei Tianyuan. He had the same thought as Jiang Xuejun. Wei Tianyuan left quietly because he heard their conversation and misunderstood that Jiang Xuejun had fallen in love with him. How should I do it?Chu Tianshu, who has always been quite decisive, encountered such a sudden and embarrassing incident, and felt distraught. He chased to the shore, only a few waterfowl living in the reeds were startled by the sound, and the empty sandy beach was unobstructed, where could there be half a person? There is a hill behind the beach, Chu Tianshu knew that he was determined not to catch up with Wei Tianyuan. He can only give it a try. "Brother Wei, please wait, you have something to tell you!" Chu Tianshu spoke with his internal strength of sound transmission.Although he is not as good as Wei Tianyuan in this skill, if Wei Tianyuan is hiding in the forest, he should be able to hear him. He hoped that Wei Tianyuan hadn't gone far.He knew that Wei Tianyuan loved his junior sister deeply, "Maybe he is pulling the wound in his heart right now in the forest?" Chu Tianshu thought so. He hoped to see Wei Tianyuan and explain clearly to him face to face. But what to say?Jiang Xuejun "sacrificed himself" in order to fulfill Qi Shuyu's wish. If he and Wei Tianyuan explained it clearly, wouldn't it destroy Jiang Xuejun's plan? But if he doesn't explain clearly, won't he continue to misunderstand Wei Tianyuan?It doesn't matter if I misunderstand myself, Jiang Xuejun's "self-sacrifice" is a foregone conclusion. "Her fate is already so pitiful, do I want her to be sad forever?" Should Qi Shuyu and Wei Tianyuan be matched, or should Jiang Xuejun and Wei Tianyuan be reunited?Is it worthwhile for him to get himself involved in this whirlpool?These are difficult questions to answer. Concerned about gains and losses, he could only wait for Wei Tianyuan's answer. "We'll wait until we meet him." But the empty mountain was silent, only his echo could be heard. "Brother Wei, if you don't want to see me, you should also see Mr. Xue?" He shouted again. Suddenly there seemed to be a long sigh faintly, Chu Tianshu was both happy and surprised, and hurried to the hill. But it was not Wei Tianyuan who greeted him, but two stones. With the sharp sound of piercing the sky between the flying stones, one could tell that the force was abnormally strong.People who learn martial arts defend themselves out of instinct. Without thinking, Chu Tianshu instinctively took out the judge's pen to strike a hidden weapon in this flash of light. With a sound of "dang", a stone was knocked flying by him, but the other stone had already hit his temple on the forehead, and he couldn't dodge it. The temple is one of the fatal acupoints of the human body, Chu Tianshu couldn't help feeling a chill in his heart for a moment, and only Daowei Tianyuan wanted to take his life.It's really not worth it to be regarded as a "rival in love" by Wei Tianyuan in such a muddleheaded way, and to die under Wei Tianyuan's hands. Before thinking about it, just in the midst of this flash, the stone suddenly turned a corner, and it moved from the upper plate to the lower plate, flying low and turning. With a "Bu", it hit the Huantiao acupoint on his knee. The force of the stone flying was extremely strong, but it was not heavy when it hit him.But there was no one in sight, and the call from such a far away place was so ingenious, which was enough to surprise Chu Tianshu. "Unexpectedly, Wei Tianyuan's martial arts are more advanced than I imagined. I have never seen Qi Yanran's martial arts. As far as I have seen people, I am afraid that only Baodugang secretly helped Ding Bo beat the Hebei double demon that night. The Mysterio from here is nothing compared to that," he thought. He didn't know that this person was the "mysterious guest" that night. Ding Bo also hit the Huantiao acupoint on the knee for that person in the same way, but this happened between Chu Tianshu, Jiang and Qi Er. After the woman had left, he didn't know that's all. He didn't know who this person was, and still regarded it as Wei Tianyuan. One reason is that the man was merciful, and the other reason is that his internal skills are not weak, although the Huantiao point was hit, he just felt sore, the point was not sealed, but even so, he couldn't help but sit down and rest for a while. . "Wei Tianyuan hit these two stones with obvious intentions. He didn't want to see me, so he used this deterrent method. Alas, his martial arts are much better than mine. In fact, even if I don't use this method, I can't catch up with him. Yes." he thought. He was doing self-exercise exercises to relax his muscles and muscles, when Jiang Xuejun screamed and ran towards him. "Brother, what's the matter with you? Are you injured?" Chu Tianshu smiled and said: "Thank you for his mercy, I was lucky not to be injured." Jiang Xuejun breathed a sigh of relief, and asked in a low voice, "Is that him?" When Jiang Xuejun said "he", Chu Tianshu naturally understood who she was talking about.His heart suddenly moved, and he said, "I don't know if it's him!" It turned out that because of Jiang Xuejun's question, he suddenly remembered: "That night at Xu's house, when I met Wei Tianyuan for the first time, he didn't know who I was at first. Attack me fiercely, I have already fought fiercely with Mr. Jianda, but I can still resist a few moves, and then I was touched by his acupuncture points. At that time, he will not be merciful, right? If so, this person is him tonight , his martial arts progress is too fast!" "I don't know if it's him." Chu Tianshu's answer was indeed because he had doubts in his heart. Jiang Xuejun sighed, "According to what you said, it must be him. But since he won't show up tonight, I'm afraid he won't go back to Qi's house to meet us." Chu Tianshu said lightly: "Why don't I go home first, he knows that I am no longer with you, so he will meet you naturally." Jiang Xuejun was taken aback for a moment, and said softly: "Brother, are you angry with me?" Chu Tianshu said: "No, but..." "But" what, before he could say it, Jiang Xuejun cut off his words and said: "Since you didn't, then you promised to advance and retreat with me, why did you leave alone?" Chu Tianshu said: "Didn't I already say it, I just hope that you can reunite, but if I'm by your side, I'm afraid he won't meet you." Jiang Xuejun said: "I've already said it. It's good to see him at Qi's house. It doesn't matter if I don't see him. You are a smart person when I told you on the boat. Don't you understand my words?" What's on your mind? Right now I want to get rid of him, so I beg you to help me. Brother, if you still refuse to forgive me, then let me leave alone. I will go to Beijing to find my enemy, and you will send Miss Qi back Home." She spoke very sincerely, with a somewhat excited expression, Chu Tianshu sighed and said, "Why are you doing this?" Jiang Xuejun said: "You don't want to help me, what else can I do if I don't? Senior brother, you promised Miss Qi to be her guest. To be polite, you should also send her home." Chu Tianshu was not interested at first, but because of the soft words of his junior sister, and because he wanted to know the relationship between his stepmother and the Qi family, he had kept this mystery in his heart for many years.Everyone has curiosity, not to mention that this is a matter that has a great relationship with his family. He finally gave up his intention of leaving alone and said, "Okay! Then let's take her home together." Jiang Xuejun said: "Okay, then I also promise you a three-day period. We will only stay in Qi's house for three days. You don't really have to go home with me. After leaving Qi's house, we will break up immediately. I say we will stay with you." Go home, that's just for Miss Qi." Chu Tianshu said with a smile: "Junior Sister, you seem to be angry with me?" Jiang Xuejun said: "I speak from my heart, I can't implicate you, and I really want to find an enemy." Chu Tianshu smiled and said: "I have already said that I am not afraid of being troubled by you. This is also what I say in my heart, but the difference is that I didn't say it to Miss Qi." Unconsciously, Jiang Xuejun was moved by him, grabbed his hand and said: "Senior brother, you are tired and wronged." Chu Tianshu smiled bitterly: "Compared to the grievances you have suffered, what is my grievance?" These two words made Jiang Xuejun shed tears, remembering that she was almost deceived by her enemy into being his wife, and the humiliation she suffered in the Xu family was beyond words "wronged", but Chu Tianshu said it for her When she came out, she suddenly felt a sense of confidant.Tears welled up in her eyes, and she thought to herself: "It's a pity we met too late, my heart has already been promised to Brother Yuan. Senior brother, I can only live up to your affection." Chu Tianshu's heart was also pounding, and he said: "Junior Sister, did I say something wrong? I provoke you..." Jiang Xuejun choked up and said, "You're right, I'm suffering. Brother, I'm sorry. However, the Qi family girl is also very pitiful. If she doesn't get Brother Yuan, I don't know how sad she will be. She is so Young and so pure, I would rather suffer for myself than for her to be sad. Senior brother, I beg you, not only for me, but also for her, just endure a little grievance." Chu Tianshu forced a smile and said: "You say she is pitiful, but I envy her luck! How can she be sad when she has such a good sister like you? Hehe, let the lucky people be more blessed, we are Doomed to be bitter!" Before I knew it, I was a little angry. They didn't say anything from the bottom of their hearts, but they both understood each other's thoughts. Chu Tianshu already knew that Jiang Xuejun loved Wei Tianyuan, and Jiang Xuejun also understood Chu Tianshu's love for her on a deeper level. "He knows that I don't love him, but he is still willing to sing a fake show with me, so that the sister of the Qi family can rest assured. He is a very arrogant person, and he does not hesitate to do this for me. Isn't this just a grievance? Can you describe it?" Feeling mixed with guilt and gratitude, she gripped Chu Tianshu's hand even tighter. "Senior brother, you have a good heart, you won't suffer. In the future, there will be..." What she wanted to say was: "In the future, there will be girls who love you better than me." But it was inconvenient for her to say that Come on, and Chu Tianshu has already stopped her from speaking. "Stop talking!" Chu Tianshu said, "It's time for us to go back and see that lucky girl Qi." Suddenly it began to rain lightly. Although Chu Tianshu’s sealed knee Huantiao acupoint had been untied, his qi and blood hadn’t flowed smoothly, and the riverside road was slippery. He let go of Jiang Xuejun’s hand. Just as he took a step, he almost fell down. Jiang Xuejun laughed Said: "Brother, don't be brave, let me help you go back." As long as Chu Tianshu calmed down, he could have walked back, but he still let Jiang Xuejun hold his hand.He thought to himself: "That's fine, anyway, you are going to show it to Qi Shuyu, so I'll accompany you to make a real show." Qi Shuyu also saw this "drama". 看见他们携着手回来，齐漱玉虽然有点失望——他的元哥并没一起回来，但更多的却是欢喜，她暗自想道：“我没猜错，他们果然是爱上了，元哥可能是一时气愤，不愿与他们相见，但他迟早必定回到我的身边。为了避免他们害羞，我可不能让他们知道我在偷看。”她心情转佳，人也变得善于体贴他人了，于是赶忙回到舱中，放下珠帘。 在岸边那座山岗上，另一个人也看到他们演这出戏。 这个人是齐漱玉的父亲，他本来是要来杀楚天舒的，如今却是满怀欢喜的看他们演的这出戏。 当然他不知道这是“假戏真做”，因为楚天舒和姜雪君并非用传音入密的内功谈话，他在山上是只能看见，不能听见的。 丝丝细雨就像他的心情，虽然未曾明朗，却也不会像狂风暴雨那样带给别人灾难了。 他目送他们回船，心里想道：“算这小子运气不错，要是一个时辰之前我看见他们这个样子，我不但要杀这小子，连这女娃儿我也一并杀了！” 为什么他的心情有这样大的转变，因为在这一个时辰之中，他已经知道了女儿的心事。 他像小孩子一样吮自己的指头，这两根指头是抚摸过女儿的头发的。 他看见熟睡中的女儿，也听见了女儿的梦话。他的女儿在梦中也在叫道：“元哥。” 姜雪君和楚天舒在船头说的那些话，那些话姜雪君本来是要说给他的女儿听的，他也听见了。 如今他已经知道的有三件事：一、他的女儿爱上了卫天元；二、卫天元爱的则可能是姜雪君，她的女儿对这个可能有极大的顾虑；三、但姜雪君爱的则是她的师兄楚天舒。 他却不知，他所“知道”的这三件事情其实仍是有真有假，或者真假掺杂，真假难分。 他所想的只是如何才能维护女儿的幸福。 “卫天元，卫天元，这名字好熟！”很快他就想了起来，这是他的师兄卫承纲的儿子。 他离家之前，卫承纲还没有死，他的爹爹是常常提起他这个师兄，也曾提及他师兄这个儿子的。 蓦地他又想了起来：“卫天元”这个名字他好像还曾听见别的人说过。 “卫天元”在江湖上是个陌生的名字，但“飞天神龙”的名头却很响亮。 “对了，卫天元就是飞天神龙，飞天神龙就是卫天元！”他终于想起来了。 告诉他“卫天元就是飞天神龙”的那个人名叫汤怀义，是他这次重入江湖之后方始结交的新朋友。 虽然是新相识，但汤怀义这个人他则是早就知道了的。 汤怀义并不是什么了不起的人物，但他的胞兄和义兄在江湖上却是大名鼎鼎。 他的胞兄汤怀远是京师第一镖局震远镖局的总镖头。他的义兄名气更大，是川西大侠贺敬金。 汤怀远和齐勒铭的父亲颇有交情，贺敬金与齐家虽没来往，也是彼此闻名的。齐勒铭就是在未出道之前便从父亲口中知道有这两个人，连带也知道汤怀远有个弟弟叫汤怀义的。 不过他知道汤怀义的身份，汤怀义却不知道他的来历。 齐勒铭对父亲的感情甚为复杂，尽管他害怕见到父亲，却又思念父亲。因此和父亲有着关系的人，他都愿意结交，但必须是他以前没见过的人，他也决不吐露自己就是武功天下第一的齐燕然的儿子。 他多希望从汤怀义的口中知道一些父亲的消息，可惜汤怀义虽然在一次谈话中提及他的父亲，但对他父亲的近况却全无所知。 那次的谈话就是从“飞天神龙”引起的。 汤怀义不知道他是谁，但知道他武功很高，有一次问他：“这两年来，江湖上出现了一个无恶不作的大魔头，绰号飞天神龙，你知道么？” 他答：“似曾听人说过，我也不怎样在意，他武功如何，真的无恶不作么？”他从身受的例子，总觉得江湖上的传言多半失之夸张。 汤怀义道：“不错，江湖上的传言多半夸张，但飞天神龙的确是无恶不作的魔头，我知道得非常清楚的。” 齐勒铭道：“好，那你把他的恶行，说几件我听听。”汤怀义道：“风雷堡的雷堡主和饮马川的李寨主你知道吧？” 齐勒铭淡淡说道：“听过他们的名字，飞天神龙与他们有何关系？” 汤怀义道：“风雷堡的雷堡主给他割去脑袋，饮马川的李寨主给他刺瞎了一双眼睛。” 齐勒铭暗自想道：“这两个人可并不是什么正人君子，在江湖上虽然也混了个侠义道名声，但只怕他们做的坏事比他们做的好事更多。飞天神龙割掉一个人的脑袋，刺瞎一个人的眼睛，倒也不算得是什么太大的恶行。”他不愿与汤怀义辩论，当下只是淡淡说道：“这两个人的武功虽然算不上是第一流，在江湖上也可算得是有数的人物了，如此说来，飞天神龙的本领确是不错。” 汤怀义说道：“他伤害这两个人还不要紧，川西大侠也吃了他的大亏，那可更是令人愤恨！” 齐勒铭吃了一惊，说道：“你说的可是川西大侠贺敬金？” 汤怀义道：“不错，贺大侠也正是我的义兄，所以我非帮他报仇不可！” 齐勒铭心里想道：“你义兄的为人，恐怕你也未必清楚。比起雷堡主和李寨主，他更加是个善于沽名钓誉的伪君子。飞天神龙是否魔头我不知道，你那义兄可是个真正的魔头。”原来早在二十年前，齐勒铭和一些黑道上的人物混在一起的时候，就已经知道贺敬金是暗地分赃的头子之一了。不过贺敬金是两副面孔，侠义道人物也常常得他的帮忙，因此也把他捧为川西武林的领袖的。 “哦，你的义兄怎样吃了他的大亏？”齐勒铭问道。 “飞天神龙割了他的一双耳朵！”汤怀义道。 齐勒铭说道：“贺大侠的六十四路乱披风拐法算得是武林一绝，竟会给飞天神龙割去耳朵，如此说来，他这'神龙'的外号，倒也不是浪得虚名了。他是何人弟子？” 汤怀义道：“他的来历我们尚未打听到，不过他真名实姓，我已经打听到了。他叫卫天元，你可曾听过这个名字？” 齐勒铭隐隐觉得这名字似曾听过，但当时的他，刚刚重入江湖，所想的只是与自己恩怨有关的人和事，对与自己无关的事情，可没有多大兴趣，因此虽然觉得名字好熟，却是无心搜索自己的记忆。 “卫天元，他有多大的年纪？”齐勒铭只是随口问道。 “大约二十多岁。”汤怀义道。 齐勒铭摇了摇头，说道：“那一定是我不认识的人了。我不在江湖行走也差不多有二十年了，相识的人最小也是四十岁以上的。”接着说道：“他这么年轻，居然能割掉贺大侠的耳朵，这可更是出乎我的意料之外了。要是碰得上的话，我倒想会会他。” 汤怀义喜道：“齐兄，我正是想请你相助一臂之力。不知你可否帮忙我们去对付飞天神龙？” 齐勒铭道：“你已经知道他的下落？” 汤怀义道：“已经有几帮人打探他的行踪，要是你有此心，咱们可以一同去喝中州大侠徐中岳的续弦喜酒。日期是在下个月十五，一定赶得上的。徐大侠的名头近年来已是比我的义兄还更响亮，想必你也知道吧。” 齐勒铭道：“这样一位大名人我岂能不知，不过我却不知喝他的喜酒和飞天神龙有何关系？” 汤怀义道：“徐大侠和飞天神龙也是结有很深的梁子的。那几帮人已经约定了在他的家中交换消息。” 齐勒铭道：“如此如来，目前你们是尚未知道飞天神龙的下落的了。到了那天，那些人是否已经打听到他的行踪，亦还是未知之数？” 汤怀义道：“徐大侠交游广阔，我想总有七八成把握可以打探得到吧。而且纵然尚未打探出来，咱们去喝徐大侠的喜酒，借此和他结交，那也是有益无损的呀！” 齐勒铭笑道：“他名气太大，我有一个怪脾气，不喜欢结交名气太大的人，小有名气，那还可以。而且我闲散惯了，以闲云野鹤之身，也不喜欢被什么事情羁绊。我说，我想会一会飞天神龙，那只不过是盼偶然相遇而已，并非我想特地去找他比试武功。”弦外之音，他可不愿为了汤怀义的义兄结仇树敌。 汤怀义大为失望，心里想道：“这也怪不了他，以我和他的交情，这个要求是有点过份的。”当下以退为进，叹口气道：“我知这是不情之请，但你老兄不肯出手，要找一个可以对付飞天神龙的人可就难了。” 齐勒铭道：“你不是说中州大侠交游广阔，令兄是京师第一大镖局的总镖头，武林的高手料想和令兄有交情的更是不少！” 汤怀义道：“实不相瞒，当今的天下第一高手和家兄也是颇有交情的。但可惜……” 齐勒铭打断他的话，问道：“你说的天下第一高手是谁？”心想：“总算把他的话引出来了。”心头卜卜地跳，等待着从汤怀义的口中听到有关他父亲的消息。 汤怀义道：“你还不知道天下第一高手是谁吗？我还以为你和他是本家呢。天下第一高手除了齐燕然还能是谁？” 齐勒铭强抑内心的激动，淡淡说道：“我虽然姓齐，但和天下第一高手的齐燕然可是沾不上半点关系。” 汤怀义笑道：“齐兄，你的武功如此高明！要不是我已经确实知道齐燕然的徒弟和儿子都已死掉，我真怀疑你和他有点关系。” 齐勒铭摸一摸脸上的伤疤，心头苦笑道：“齐燕然的儿子确实是已经死掉了。”当下说道：“汤兄别开玩笑，咱们还是言归正传吧，刚才你说到可惜齐燕然什么？” 汤怀义道：“齐燕然在死了儿子之后，便即销声匿迹，谢绝与江湖上的朋友往来。” 齐勒铭道：“令兄也未见过他吗？他是不是已经……” 汤怀义摇了摇头，道：“据家兄说，他还活在人间。不过他的脾气甚为怪僻，他既然声明了谢绝与江湖上的朋友往来，莫说没人知道他隐居何处，即使有人知道也不敢去找他了。家兄也不例外。” 细雨如丝，齐勒铭的心情也像雨丝纷乱。 整理一下纷乱的回忆，如今他已经知道“飞天神龙”卫天元是他的师兄之子，而卫天元的为人他亦已略知一二了。 他禁不住哈哈大笑，心里想道：“这小子倒不赖，年纪轻轻，就闯出了这么大的名头。听汤怀义所言，他的行径倒很对我的脾胃。” 别人说卫天元是“魔头”，他非但没有因女儿爱上“魔头”而气恼，反而感到高兴了。 “倘若卫天元是个规行矩步的正人君子，我倒有点担忧。”他想：“这样的人一定不会认我做岳父的，但他是个别人口中的魔头，那么他就或许不会害怕有我这个岳父了。只不知他因何与那许多所谓的侠义道结下仇冤，他对付得了么？” 他的女儿和楚天舒、姜雪君乘坐的那条小船已经开行了，他目送小舟远去，喃喃自语：“我没有尽过一天做父亲的责任，如今我已知道玉儿爱的是谁，我一定要完成她的心愿。” 他不觉又在心底自嘲：“师兄不知是怎么死的，但不管如何，他总是比我有福气得多。小时候，我常常因为父亲太过夸他宠他而心怀妒忌，想不到我的女儿也爱上他的儿子，我也非得为他的儿子尽心尽力不可了。但这小子若不是真心爱我的女儿那怎么办？” 他的女儿害怕卫天元爱上姜雪君，这是他已经知道的了。而卫天元爱他的女儿，这只是从姜雪君口中说出来的，是真是假，他可尚未知道。 他正是为了这个缘故，才肯放过楚天舒的。 那只小船已经在江面上消失了，他女儿的影子却还留在他的心中。 心中一阵甜丝丝的爱意，齐勒铭暗自想道：“玉儿真像她的母亲，不，比她的母亲和我成婚的当年更美！不过……” 脑海里浮起另一个少女的影子，是姜雪君。 尽管他把女儿当作宝贝，但他还是不能不承认姜雪君似乎比他的女儿更美。 “要是我年轻二十年，碰上这样一位绝色佳人，恐怕我也非得为她着迷不可，幸亏她爱上了楚天舒，不是卫天元。”他想。 想起自己本来是要来杀楚天舒，他不觉心头苦笑。幸亏我没有鲁莽从事，要是把楚天舒杀掉，姜雪君失掉心爱的人，她必须另选佳偶，那时我的女儿恐怕就嫁不成卫天元了。 雨收云散，不知不觉之间黑夜已经悄悄过去，齐勒铭亦已迎着曙光，走下山了。 正好像朝阳赶走了乌云，他的心情也开朗了许多。 因为他已经有了新的寄托，重新感到做人是有意义的了。 不错，他的心里也还有着仇恨，对楚劲松的仇恨，对一些曾经逼得他走投无路的“侠义道”的仇恨。但如今他已经知道自己有个女儿，是这么可爱的女儿！他对女儿的爱意已经超过他对楚劲松的仇恨了。 本来他要去找楚劲松报仇的，如今亦已改变主意了。 “我从未尽过做父亲的责任，我必须帮玉儿达成她的心愿。” 爱屋及乌，他不能不为卫天元担心了。 卫天元在洛阳徐家的事轰动江湖，他虽然知而不详，但在道听途说之中亦已知道了。 可惜我没有应汤怀义之约去喝徐中岳的喜酒，否则早就见得着卫天元和我的玉儿了，如今可又得多费许多心力去找他了。这小子也真胆大，听说他和剪大先生、一瓢道长等人都结了仇，他年纪这么轻，武功再好恐怕也对付不了这许多高手！ 他知道女儿回到家中，自有他的父亲保护，用不着他操心。但卫天元的处境却是令他担心不已。 到哪里去找卫天元呢？ 正自惘惘前行，忽听得有人“咦”了一声，急步向他跑来，一面跑一面叫：“齐兄！齐兄！”齐勒铭定睛一看，正是不久之前约他一起去洛阳与徐中岳相会，共谋对付卫天元的那个汤怀义。 汤怀义跑到他的跟前，说道：“我还只道是我眼花呢，原来果然是你！” 齐勒铭笑道：“这可真是应了一句老话，人生无处不相逢了。但你不是去洛阳喝徐中岳的喜酒的吗，怎么却又跑来了这里？” 汤怀义道：“我就是为了徐家那桩事情来的，卫天元大闹徐家，打伤徐大侠不算，还把他的新婚妻子也劫走了。这些事情，想必你也知道了吧？江湖上在为这个惊人的新闻闹得沸沸扬扬呢！” 齐勒铭道：“徐大侠的新婚妻子听说是洛阳有名的美人儿，是一个姓姜的武师的女儿，芳名叫做，叫做……” 汤怀义道：“这位美人儿名叫姜雪君。嗯，如此说来，你是早已听得别人说过徐家的事了？” 齐勒铭道：“道听途说，也不知是真是假，卫天元真的那么胡作非为，连徐大侠的新婚妻子都抢走吗？”想道：“那些造谣的人可真是活见鬼了。我刚刚还亲眼看见姜雪君。” 汤怀义道：“怎么不真？我在场的！” 齐勒铭道：“哦，你亲眼看见卫天元把姜雪君劫走？” 汤怀义道：“这我倒没有亲眼看见，不过是徐中岳的弟子说的，料想决不会假。那日卫天元大闹礼堂、打伤徐大侠的事，则的确是我亲见亲闻。”觉得有点奇怪，说道：“齐兄，你倒好像关心那位新娘子比关心徐大侠更多。” 齐勒铭笑道：“她是有名的美人嘛，我自是免不了好奇多问两句。对啦，你既然亲自在场，所知自必详实，实情究竟如何，你说来听听。” 汤怀义细述当日经过，听得齐勒铭暗暗欢喜，想道：“卫天元的武功比我想象的还要高得多，他配我的女儿，倒是配得起了。”问道：“你跑来这里和徐家那桩事情有何关系？” 汤怀义叹口气道：“我就是因为卫天元武功太过厉害，所以才想跑来这里找帮手。唉，说来惭愧，我本来是要找卫天元为义兄报仇的，那日一见他的本领，吓得我都不敢露面。” 齐勒铭打断他的话头，问道：“如此说来，你找的这位帮手，必定是武功非常高强，绝对有把握胜得过飞天神龙的了？” 汤怀义苦笑道：“要是这个人肯出头相助，根本就用不着出手。飞天神龙一见着他，就非得磕头不可！” 齐勒铭已经猜到几分，佯作惊诧，说道：“这个人如此厉害！究竟是谁？” 汤怀义欲言又止，看了看齐勒铭，忽地移转话题，反问他道：“对啦，齐兄，我还没有问你，你怎么也来到了这儿？” 齐勒铭说道：“我是从孟津访友回来的，这位朋友说起来或许你也认识，他是'黄河三鬼'中的老大孟彪。” 汤怀义去了心上的疑团，暗自想道：“他早已说过，他虽然姓齐，和武功天下第一的齐家可是沾不上边的。黄河三鬼在江湖上的名声很坏，他不怕对我直言，料想不是说谎。”当下说道：“齐兄，你大概有许多年没见过黄河三鬼吧？” 齐勒铭说道：“不错，算起来差不多有二十年未见过他们了，其实我和他们也没多大交情，不过曾经见过一次面而已。实不相瞒，我近来穷得要命，想向他们借点银子。我虽不是黑道中人，黑道上的规矩我是懂的。只须略有交情，就不怕打不到秋风。可惜这黄河三鬼，竟然一个都找不到。” 汤怀义笑道：“原来你和他们已有二十年没见过面，怪不得你不知道了，黄河三鬼中的孟老大早就被人打成残废，这也差不多是二十年前的事情了。” 齐勒铭故意问道：“孟老大武功也不错呀，什么人把他打成残废的？” 汤怀义道：“武功天下第一的齐家的媳妇，这件事也是过了多年我才知道。听说孟老大瞎了眼睛，当时不知那个女人的身份，竟然想调戏她，后来知道了她是谁，吓得黄河三鬼都销声匿迹了。我知道有'黄河三鬼'，与他们却不相识。你若要找他们，我是帮不上忙；不过，你若只是要点银子的话，那就不用找他们了，朋友有通财之义，你要多少，尽管开口，可别用一个借字。” 齐勒铭是明知汤怀义与黄河三鬼不会相识方敢信口开河的，听罢笑道：“好，那我先多谢你，不过你无须急于把银子给我，先说正经事吧，你找的是谁，你还没有告诉我呢！” 汤怀义哈哈一笑，学他的口吻说道：“实不相瞒，我所要找的人就是天下第一高手齐燕然！”不过笑得却是不大自然，近乎苦笑的味道。 齐勒铭故作惊诧，说道：“哦，齐燕然就是家住此地的么？但不久之前，你好像说过无人知道他的下落，包括令兄在内？” 汤怀义道：“你记错了，我是说齐燕然死了儿子之后，便即销声匿迹，谢绝与江湖上的朋友往来。因他声明在先，莫说没人知道他隐居何处，即使有人知道也不敢去找他了。家兄也不例外。我所说的'也不例外'是指'不敢去找他'的例外。” 齐勒铭笑道：“你这样说我就完全明白了，令兄其实是知道他的住处的。不过你不愿意说给我知道。” 汤怀义道：“这老头儿脾气怪僻得很，我恐防你去找他，犯了他的禁令。” 齐勒铭道：“那怎的现在你又敢去找他了？” 汤怀义道：“一来是我无法找到一个可以制服飞天神龙的人，只好冒险一试。二来则是由于剪大先生的关系，飞天神龙这次伤了徐大侠，和剪大先生也交了手，据我所知，他们的梁子还结得不小呢。齐燕然与剪大先生是多年老友，论交情，还在家兄和他的交情之上。
