Chapter 13 Chapter Thirteen
Tang Huaiyuan said: "This is not a place for conversation, please come with me." There is a tunnel in the artificial cave, leading to a secret room, Tang Huaiyuan led Chu Jinsong into the secret room, and then told him: "The flying dragon may have come Arrived in the capital!"
He thought that Chu Jinsong's face would change even if he was not shocked when he heard the news, but Chu Jinsong's expression was still normal and he didn't respond.
Tang Huaiyuan was taken aback for a moment, and continued: "Mr. Jianda sent someone to secretly inform me of this news. It is said that the Flying Dragon appeared in Xishan yesterday. Although I still can't confirm it is him, the possibility of him is very high! "
Chu Jinsong still didn't speak, but said lightly, "So what if it's him?"
Tang Huaiyuan said: "If it's him, of course I want my brother to take action."
Chu Jinsong said: "The new Great Sage Qi is ten times better than me in martial arts."
Tang Huaiyuan said: "Although this Mr. Qi's martial arts is strong, he is a new friend after all. He had a conversation with his younger brother before. This time he just came here to see the martial arts of the flying dragon. Whether he makes a move is up to him. He said that if he saw that the flying dragon's martial arts were too far behind his, he would not be interested in making a move; but if he was much higher than him, he would not dare to make a move."
Chu Jinsong said with a smile: "It will be difficult to find someone whose martial arts are just as good as his."
Tang Huaiyuan said: "Yes. And the purpose of the attack is different from ours. In his words, he just wanted to see the martial arts of the flying dragon, and he didn't want to get involved in the whirlpool. But you know, Mr. Jian Da and Xu Daxia hoped that we Those who can eliminate harm for martial arts and kill the flying dragon!"
Chu Jinsong said: "Everyone has his own ambitions, we can't force him to do his best for us!"
Tang Huaiyuan said: "There is another layer. He is an outsider with unknown background. I'm afraid I can't tell him some things. For example, I don't dare to tell him the news about the Flying Dragon hiding in Xishan."
Chu Jinsong said: "Do you suspect that he came undercover for the Flying Dragon?"
Tang Huaiyuan said: "It is not expected to be so. But it is necessary to guard against others. Besides, if he just leaked out, it will cause trouble. All in all, he is just a chess piece that cannot be used when it is absolutely necessary!"
Chu Jinsong said: "Then there is no need to talk about him anymore. You just said what you want me to do?"
Tang Huaiyuan said: "Mr. Jianda, I invite you and me to discuss with Commander Mu's mansion tomorrow. In my opinion, he might want you to be the first to make a move!"
Chu Jinsong said: "I have a date with Qi Dasheng tomorrow."
Tang Huaiyuan said: "I know. But the date is just a visit, so it won't take much of your time."
Chu Jinsong said: "That's right, that's what he said. But judging by his air, I'm afraid there are other things."
Tang Huaiyuan said: "How to deal with the Flying Dragon is the most important thing right now! Nothing is more important than this. How about it, I will accompany him to visit you tomorrow morning, even if he has other things to discuss, The conversation can be finished before noon. Mr. Jianda's appointment is at noon, and I guess he will probably ask you to go to Xishan in the afternoon to find out the truth. You have to make preparations first!"
Chu Jinsong said: "What are you preparing for?"
Tang Huaiyuan said in a low voice: "Brother Chu, we are old friends. I know that you and Mr. Jianda are close friends, but I won't tell you this secret. I feel that I can't live with old friends!"
Chu Jinsong was taken aback for a moment, and said, "What secret?"
Tang Huaiyuan's voice became softer: "This secret is about the identity of the Flying Dragon. You don't have to ask where I got it from. I won't lie to you anyway!" They were talking privately in a secret room, but when Tang Huaiyuan said " The identity of the Flying Dragon" said, as if he was still afraid that the walls have ears.
Chu Jinsong smiled and said: "You and I have known each other for many years, and I almost never believed what you said. But you haven't revealed his identity yet, why are you so nervous?"
Tang Huaiyuan said: "Don't laugh at me for being nervous, his background is truly extraordinary!" After a pause, he took a breath, and then continued: "Guess who the Flying Dragon is, he, he is the number one martial artist in the world. One of Qi Yanran's apprentices!"
Chu Jinsong smiled and said, "Are you intimidated by Qi Yanran's name? However, your news may not be true."
Tang Huaiyuan asked, "Why do you say that?"
Chu Jinsong said: "As far as I know, Qi Yanran has only one son and one apprentice. Both the son and the apprentice are dead."
Tang Huaiyuan said: "You only know one thing, not the other. The Flying Dragon is the son of his dead apprentice named Wei, who grew up in Qi's family. In name, Qi Yanran is his master, but in reality he is An apprentice taught by Qi Yanran himself! Just because his son and apprentice are dead, he loves this grandson the most! I dare not advise you to back down, but I also dare not encourage you to take the lead."
Chu Jinsong smiled and said, "I know that if I take the lead, Qi Yanran will never let me go, no matter whether he kills the flying dragon or not. He even wants to kill me to pay for his grandson's life, but also to bring disaster to my family." Woolen cloth."
Tang Huaiyuan said: "Yes, so I have to tell you, please decide for yourself."
Chu Jinsong was noncommittal, and only asked with a smile, "Then what are your plans?"
Tang Huaiyuan frowned deeply, and said in a low voice: "To tell you the truth, I also feel embarrassed! I would go out of my way for my friends, but, but, but..."
Chu Jinsong said: "Brother Tang has something to hide, if it is inconvenient to say..."
Tang Huaiyuan gritted his teeth, and finally said it: "Brother Chu, I and you are like brothers and sisters. Let me tell you another secret. Although I am not as high as Qi Yanran, I am still a friend with a little friendship! At least, he considered me a friend."
Chu Jinsong said: "So that's the case. We are friends on both sides, no wonder you are in trouble!"
Tang Huaiyuan continued: "His apprentice named Wei had a deeper friendship with me during his lifetime. Do you know how his apprentice died?"
Chu Jinsong said: "I don't know."
Tang Huaiyuan almost whispered into Chu Jinsong's ear: "His apprentice is named Wei Chenggang, an important figure in the anti-Qing gang, he was besieged by eight big inner guards, after he killed all the enemies, he was also seriously injured. He died a few days later."
Chu Jinsong said: "In this way, the Flying Dragon is the descendant of the anti-Qing righteous man, how could it become a big devil who does all kinds of evil?"
Tang Huaiyuan didn't answer this question, but said: "You know that in the business of our bodyguard agency, you must have a lot of contacts, black and white people have to sell friendship. What's more, my bodyguard agency is located in the capital, so of course I can't avoid contacts with the government. But Speaking from the bottom of my heart, I still have more sympathy for the anti-Qing righteous men."
Chu Jinsong said: "I am the same as you in this regard. So, you don't want to get involved in this matter, do you?"
Tang Huaiyuan sighed and said: "This is the difficulty. In terms of friendship, I have a much deeper friendship with Mr. Jianda than with the Qi family. This time I invite friends from all walks of life to help deal with the hero of the Flying Dragon. The post was signed by myself, Mr. Jian Da and Xu Zhongyue, how can you say I quit halfway?"
Chu Jinsong said: "When you and them jointly issued the hero post, you didn't know the identity of the flying dragon. It is said that you quit halfway, and it can't be regarded as a breach of trust!"
Tang Huaiyuan smiled wryly and said: "Brother Chu, you are a sophisticated veteran, how can you say such a thing? Xu Zhongyue wants to avenge the flying dragon! This matter is supported by Commander Mu. Even if I can cut it big Sir, but if Commander Mu asks me why I quit, how can I answer?"
Chu Jinsong said: "This is really embarrassing! This matter is now under pressure, you must have an idea!"
Tang Huaiyuan frowned and thought for a while, then still smiled bitterly and said, "I really can't think of anything to do, I can only ask you for advice."
Chu Jinsong said: "In a hurry, I can't think of a good idea. But..."
Tang Huaiyuan said, "But what?"
Chu Jinsong said: "I want to ask you another thing."
Tang Huaiyuan said: "Excuse me. I know everything, and I can say everything."
Chu Jinsong said: "Does Mr. Jianda know that you and Qi Yanran know each other?" Tang Huaiyuan said: "I don't know."
Chu Jinsong asked again: "In your opinion, is the martial arts of the great sage Qi the Qi family's martial arts?" Needless to say, the "Qi family" he mentioned refers to Qi Yanran's family, which is known as "the first family in the martial arts".
Tang Huaiyuan suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "Do you dare to suspect that Qi Dasheng is related to Qi Yanran's family?"
Chu Jinsong said: "I know his son is dead, but Qi Dasheng's martial arts are so unfathomable, I really have to have a little doubt. Even if he is not Qi Yanran's family, he may have been taught by Qi Yanran."
Tang Huaiyuan smiled and said, "I probably know less about Qi's family's martial arts than you!"
Chu Jinsong was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Then why? You and him are friends..."
Tang Huaiyuan said: "He regards me as a friend. But as far as I am concerned, I can only say that I have met him. And only met once." Then he told how he met Qi Yanran . "It was the year when his apprentice Wei Chenggang had an accident. He once came to the Escort Bureau to inquire about his apprentice. I had never met him before, yet he was able to trust me and ask me for information. Based on this alone, I have I can't help but be grateful to him.
"I was of no help to him that time. I didn't know the news of his apprentice's tragic death until later. But when I found out, I guess he already knew about it. There is an unconfirmed news that Wei Chenggang was seriously injured. After that, I still went to see Master, he died in Master's house."
Chu Jinsong said: "In this way, the Flying Dragon must have been brought to the Qi family by his father that time."
Tang Huaiyuan said: "I don't know the details. But I know that the Flying Dragon was indeed raised in Qi's family." At this point, he sighed and continued: "I really hope that the Flying Dragon is really like what Xu Zhongyue and the others said. That way, he is a big devil who does all kinds of evil. Otherwise, I will deal with him for Xu Zhongyue, and I will be even more sorry to Qi Yanran."
Chu Jinsong remained silent.Tang Huaiyuan said, "What do you think?"
Chu Jinsong said: "It's nothing, I just thought of the four words people's words are awesome."
Tang Huaiyuan was taken aback for a moment, and said, "You mean that the Flying Dragon is not as bad as people say? I don't know how you saw it."
Chu Jinsong said: "I just had a random feeling. This feeling was caused by the story you told about Qi Yanran just now. Isn't Qi Yanran described by many people as an old monster with perverted behavior and inhumanity? But in the story you told, he seems to have a warm-hearted side. From this example, how do you know that the flying dragon trained by him himself has a good side?"
Tang Huaiyuan was silent for a while, then said: "It's a pity that this 'human speech' is not the common 'human speech', but what Mr. Jianda said."
Chu Jinsong said suddenly: "Do you feel that Mr. Jian Da seems to be a little different from before?"
Tang Huaiyuan opened his eyes wide, and said, "I, I haven't thought about it. Hey, after hearing what you said, I also feel that he really seems to be a little different from before. But how different, I can't say."
Chu Jinsong said: "I just can't figure it out. I can't figure out why he is so close to Xu Zhongyue. Yes, Xu Zhongyue is a well-known Zhongzhou hero, and his means are more praised than his martial arts. But I feel that he is a little Suspected of seeking fame. This is just what I told you in private, I don't think you will think that I slandered Xu Zhongyue out of jealousy."
Tang Huaiyuan smiled and said, "Of course you are not such a person. If you were such a person, I wouldn't tell you what's on my mind."
Chu Jinsong said: "Then don't you think it's a bit strange that Mr. Jianda seems to be the same person as him now? According to Mr. Jianda's past behavior, it's okay for him to drink Xu Zhongyue's wedding wine and witness the marriage for him. It is said that it is an ordinary entertainment that does not violate his nature, but to avenge him so hard, even at the expense of being a servant of Commander Mu for him, isn't it a little bit different from how he used to be?"
Tang Huaiyuan could only smile wryly, and could not argue for Mr. Jianda.He was thinking in his heart: "That's right. Mr. Jianda is different from me. When I run an escort business, sometimes I even have to curry favor with the government; Mr. Jianda is like a wild crane, so he doesn't need to flatter Mu Zhiyao."
After being silent for a while, Tang Huaiyuan began to say: "Brother Chu, you accepted the hero post for the sake of Mr. Jianda, and you don't have much friendship with Xu Zhongyue. If you think it's worthless to work for Xu Zhongyue, you can go away." .I can explain it to Mr. Jianda for you."
Chu Jinsong said, "What about you?"
Tang Huaiyuan said: "They won't ask me to take the lead, it won't be too late if you think about it slowly. But if you don't go, it is very likely that tomorrow afternoon, you will go to Xishan to meet the flying dragon at their invitation."
Chu Jinsong said: "I won't go!"
Tang Huaiyuan was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Are you determined to stab your friend?"
Chu Jinsong said: "Mr. Jianda and I have friendship, but Xu Zhongyue can't be regarded as my friend!" The implication is obviously that he doesn't think it's worth working for Xu Zhongyue.
Tang Huaiyuan smiled wryly and said: "You confuse me. You want to take care of the friendship between Quan and Mr. Jianda, but you don't want to work for Xu Zhongyue. How can you have both? Unless their news is false, in Xishan The suspicious person found on the Internet is not a flying dragon!"
Chu Jinsong said slowly: "The news is not fake, but I don't need to learn the flying dragon!"
Tang Huaiyuan had no time to ask him how he knew the news was true, and said, "You won't leave, and you won't go to meet the flying dragon, then, how can you explain to them?"
Chu Jinsong said: "It's not that I don't want to go, it's that I don't have to go!"
Tang Huaiyuan couldn't help being startled again, and said, "I don't understand what you mean."
Chu Jinsong said: "They want me to take the lead, but they want me to test the strength of the flying dragon. I have already tried it!"
Tang Huaiyuan was taken aback, and said, "What, you have already mastered the flying dragon?"
Chu Jinsong said: "That's right, I just came back from West Mountain. Not only did I see the flying dragon there, but I also slapped him!"
Tang Huaiyuan suddenly realized, and said: "It turns out that it was because you had exchanged a trick with him that you were seriously injured!"
Chu Jinsong smiled wryly: "That's right, the martial arts of the Flying Dragon is indeed higher than the legends!"
Tang Huaiyuan asked, "Taller than you?"
Chu Jinsong said: "Even if I'm not above me, I'm definitely not below me. I'm older than him, and if I fight for a long time, I'm afraid I'll lose most of the time. I've already lost a lot of strength by trying a move. You say it's still worth it Do you want to try again?"
Tang Huaiyuan was too shocked to speak.
Chu Tianhong is telling her mother how she met the flying dragon.
She was only sixteen years old, and the past days were peaceful and uneventful. In a sense, the experience of this day exceeded the sum of the things worth remembering in the past sixteen years.
Although she returned to her mother's side now, she still couldn't calm down.
She collected herself, hoping to speak in a more orderly manner.What happened in the past half a day, scene by scene, reappeared in front of my eyes.
The scene of the first act is a horse test in the autumn suburbs.In the memory, the first thing that appeared in front of her was Mu Lianghua's disgusting face.
Originally, the two brothers of the Mu family were quite handsome even though they were not considered beautiful young men.Of course, she didn't hate Mu Lianghua from the beginning, otherwise she wouldn't have hung out with their brothers.
She was originally a person with a good impression, why did she hate him?The most appropriate explanation is: the language is tasteless, and the face is hateful. Because the language is tasteless, she unconsciously feels that the face of the other party is also hateful.
She remembered what Xu Jinyao said about her brother yesterday, and it seemed that she hadn't finished talking yesterday.After leaving the city, she always wanted to find a chance to talk to Xu Jinyao, but she didn't have the chance to be alone with Xu Jinyao.There is not even a chance for the four of them to be together.
Because the eldest son of the Mu family, Mu Liangju, was pestering Xu Jinyao, while the second son, Mu Lianghua, was pestering her.
Mu Liangju and Xu Jinyao ran ahead.The four horses seemed to have been carefully selected, and the two horses, Mu Liangju and Xu Jinyao, ran faster.Her mount ran as fast as Mu Lianghua's.
Mu Lianghua was taciturn in front of her father, but chattered non-stop in front of her.
It's not that he can't speak, on the contrary, he is too good at talking.
It's not that he doesn't want to please her, but it's a pity that the words he thought he would please her have had the opposite result.
Because he didn't understand Chu Tianhong at all.
Chu Tianhong is a little beauty, but even though she is sixteen years old, she is not as easy to be deceived by sweet words as ordinary girls.
It's true that she is young and inexperienced, but she is Chu Jinsong's daughter, and she has the proud temperament of her father.Usually, she is playful like a child who is generally spoiled by her parents, and she also likes to be flattered by others.But if someone else is thinking about her, or if they think they have spotted her weakness to seduce her, the temperament inherited from her father will naturally make her feel disgusted with that person.
Mu Lianghua kept talking, all he said was to show off his father's power and his wealth and splendor that he could take as a "gift" at any time to Chu Tianhong.
"Inside and outside the capital, there are many interesting things. You can enjoy yourself with me, and you don't have to worry about someone bullying you." Then he introduced "fun" places and "fun" things to Chu Tianhong like a treasure.
"There are many good places in the capital! There is no girl who doesn't like jewelry. Do you want to open your eyes? If you want to, I will go to the Fire God Temple with you tomorrow.
"Ha, you asked what is the relationship between the Temple of Fire and jewelry and antiques. You are not old Beijing. However, the temple is a jewelry market. The god of fire and Bodhisattva are offered in the temple, and jewelry is sold outside the temple gate. It is said that there are fifty or sixty jewelry and jade stalls. Many ornaments are exquisitely made. So shopping Huoshen Temple means to visit jewelry stalls.
"However, these jewelry and jade stalls are for ordinary people to visit. Although there are also many fancy ornaments made by old artists, which can be used as small gadgets, you can't buy really valuable things at these stalls. There are also two large jewelry stalls. One is in Huoshen, and the other is in East Chang'an Avenue in Battlefield. Only there can we find good things worthy of our identities. For example, cat's eye gemstones, jasper watermelons, yushu corals, and Han Yuxi. Lah, Ye Mingzhu, there are jewels that cost tens of thousands of taels of silver. But these rare treasures must be taken with you, and the shopkeeper will show them to you.
"Speaking of jewelry, I also have a lot of jewelry in my home. There are not as many kinds of jewelry as there are in jewelry stores, but according to people who know the goods, there are a few items that are so expensive that you can't find them in jewelry stores. 'Invaluable' The four words may be exaggerated, it is not uncommon for a piece of jewelry to be worth one hundred and eighty thousand taels of silver, do you want to hear the name..."
Chu Tianhong heard him talking about a lot of jewels, and she was already impatient. She frowned and said, "I'm sorry, maybe all the girls you know like jewels, but I'm an exception. You have value Liancheng's jewelry is your business, I don't want to hear it."
Mu Lianghua interrupted her and was very disappointed. After a moment of stunned, he forced a smile and said: "Yes, yes. I heard that your father is talented in both civil and martial arts, and his favorite is famous calligraphy and painting. Your family has a long history. You must also like these elegant things. Then, let me take you to Liulichang, Liulichang is the most famous calligraphy and painting market in the capital, and there are famous calligraphy and paintings from Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and this dynasty."
Chu Tianhong smiled and said: "You have found the wrong person. It would be appropriate for you to accompany my father to visit Liulichang. Although I am his daughter, I don't know anything about appreciating calligraphy and painting."
Mu Lianghua said: "You like to visit places of interest, that's fine too. Tomorrow I will go to the Great Wall with you, and the day after tomorrow to Lugou Bridge. There are 473 lions on Lugou Bridge..."
Chu Tianhong said: "My father is not free tomorrow."
Mu Lianghua smiled and said, "I'm going with you, who said I want to go with your father?"
Chu Tianhong said: "I want to be with him."
Mu Lianghua said: "My father has been to the capital before, I know he has visited all these places. He may not be interested in going again, why bother him?"
Chu Tianhong said: "You are not him, how do you know that he is not interested in going again. Let me tell you, these places you mentioned are exactly the places where Dad is going to play with me. We will go as a family. I don't need you to accompany me."
Mu Lianghua was so bored, he was silent for a while, then smiled suddenly: "Your father can take you to play in other places. But there is one place that he can't go to. Only I can take you in."
Chu Tianhong said: "Where?"
Mu Lianghua proudly said: "The place where the emperor lives! My father is the commander of the imperial forest army, and the guards in the palace have to give me face. As long as you are willing to be wronged and pretend to be my book boy, I can take you to the imperial garden , maybe you can still meet the emperor!"
Chu Tianhong curled her lips, and said with a sneer, "Is it so rare? I don't want to be the emperor's servant, and if I see him, I may live a long life. It doesn't matter whether you want to visit the Imperial Garden or not."
Mu Lianghua's complexion changed, and he said, "How can you talk nonsense, fortunately no one else can hear you here."
Chu Tianhong said: "What did I say wrong? Isn't your father the emperor's servant?"
Mu Lianghua smiled wryly and said: "Are you really so ignorant, or are you trying to anger me on purpose. The emperor is the emperor of ninety-five years, and the princes and generals are all the emperor's slaves. To be the emperor's slave is someone else's request." Can't ask for it!"
Chu Tianhong said: "You are used to being slaves, of course you are proud of it. I don't want to wrong myself. I don't even bother to be the emperor's slaves. Let alone being slaves' slaves."
Mu Lianghua smiled wryly and shook his head: "I really can't do anything about you, well, if you don't like going to the palace to play, then don't go. Don't say it so harshly."
While speaking, he had already arrived at Xishan before he knew it.
Xishan in Beijing is the general name of the three peaks.The three peaks are: Cuiwei Mountain, Lushi Mountain and Pingpo Mountain.They arrived at Cuiwei Mountain first. As the name suggests, Cuiwei Mountain is extremely beautiful.At this time, it is the time when the maple leaves are covered with frost and the mountains are full of red. When you look at it at a glance, you can see the layers of forests like dyes, which makes people dazzled.Chu Tianhong exhaled the turbid air in his chest, Fang Shi felt that this trip was worthwhile.
Firstly, the mountain road is rugged, so riding a horse is not as comfortable as walking; secondly, since their purpose is to enjoy red maples and yellow chrysanthemums, it is not suitable for them to ride horses to see flowers, so they got off their horses and walked as soon as they reached Cuiwei Mountain.Their mounts are all well-trained war horses, and they don't need a groom to look after them. Let them go to the forest to find forage by themselves, and they are not afraid of getting lost.
After going up Cuiwei Mountain, Chu Tianhong only saw Xu Jinyao's horse, but couldn't see her and that Young Master Mu.
Chu Tianhong quickened his pace and walked for a while, only then could he faintly hear someone's voice in the high place ahead.
She has practiced listening to the wind and distinguishing instruments since she was a child, and her hearing is particularly keen.Listening intently, I heard Xu Jinyao's voice.
Xu Jinyao seemed to be arguing with that Young Master Mu.
The voice floated intermittently: "Nonsense, who will match you?"
"Hee, hee, your father wants you to marry me, don't you know?" This is Mu Liangju's voice.
Then hearing the sound of chasing footsteps, Xu Jinyao seemed to be panting and shouted: "What are you stopping me from doing, I'm going to find a girl from the Chu family!"
Mu Liangju smiled and said, "She is accompanied by her second child, why are you looking for her?"
Xu Jinyao snorted and said, "It turns out that your brothers are uneasy and kind, and want to bully us! Humph, hum, it doesn't matter if you bully me, but does the sister of the Chu family allow you to bully? Do you know that her father——"
Mu Liangju smiled and said, "I know her father is Yangzhou hero Chu Jinsong, but our brother's father is the commander of the Imperial Forest Army!"
Xu Jinyao sneered and said, "The official title of Commander of the Imperial Forest Army may be able to scare my father, but it may not scare Daxia Chu! If he knows that his daughter is being bullied, I'm afraid you brothers will suffer a lot!"
Mu Liangju said, "I'm not afraid! Do you want to know a secret?"
Xu Jinyao said: "What secret?"
They were going in the wrong direction, Chu Tianhong couldn't hear clearly when he heard this.Chu Tianhong hurriedly quickened her pace and ran towards where the sound came from.
Mu Lianghua caught up panting, and shouted: "Just now you said that running a horse to see flowers is a bad thing, why are you running so fast?"
Chu Tianhong said: "You don't need to worry about it!" When he interrupted, the voice above became even more unclear.
Mu Lianghua smiled and said: "Others are flirting with each other, do you want to do something worse than horse racing and looking at flowers?"
Chu Tianhong said: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Mu Lianghua said: "I'm serious! Do you want to know a secret?" It happened to be the same as what his brother said to Xu Jinyao.
Chu Tianhong's heart moved, and he said, "Oh, is there any secret? Let's hear it."
Mu Lianghua said: "Xu Zhongyue wants to promise his daughter to his eldest brother, so he asks Mr. Jianda to test my father's tone."
Chu Tianhong thought to himself: "No wonder Daddy looks down on Xu Zhongyue. It turns out that he is indeed a man of influence and has no reputation as a hero." He sneered and said, "What kind of secret is this? Xu Zhongyue wants to marry you. It's not surprising at all!"
Mu Lianghua said: "There is more. Guess what my father said?"
Chu Tianhong said: "I'm too lazy to guess."
Mu Lianghua said: "Okay, let me tell you. The person my father likes is you!"
Chu Tianhong said angrily: "Master Mu, you shouldn't have said such things to make fun of us poor girl! Aren't you afraid of insulting your own father?"
Mu Lianghua was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "You misunderstood. My father likes you because he wants you to be my daughter-in-law!"
Chu Tianhong said: "Nonsense, who will be your wife?"
Mu Lianghua said: "Don't you want to know this secret? Now I'm just relaying what they said. Whether you want to be the daughter-in-law of the Mu family is another matter, but I'm not talking nonsense. Do you want to listen to it?" ?”
Chu Tianhong remained silent.Mu Lianghua continued: "Daddy said that even if he and Xu Zhongyue are not in-laws, he is not afraid that Xu Zhongyue will not be used for him. What he hopes most is to form an in-law with Yangzhou Chu Daxia. Mr. Jian Da said, do you want to marry Chu Daxia?" I'm afraid I need the help of Xu Zhong's father and daughter to get married. How about this? Anyway, you have two sons, one married to the Xu family's daughter, and the other to the Chu family's daughter. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? Hehe, the secret has already been told You, now see if you agree or not?"
Chu Tianhong covered her ears and hurried away, saying: "I don't agree, I don't agree! I don't want to listen to your nonsense anymore."
Mu Lianghua's face turned red, and he quickly chased after him, saying, "I've already taken a fancy to you, you have to agree if you don't agree!"
Chu Tianhong said: "What do you want to do?"
Mu Lianghua smiled softly: "It's nothing, I just want you to be my little wife. Hee hee, what kind of spices do you use? It's so fragrant, so fragrant. Let me smell it, okay?" He caught up and stretched out his hand I just want to hug Chu Tianhong.
Chu Tianhong shouted: "Go away!" Mu Lianghua smiled and said: "Do you want to try my martial arts?" Using the cloud-creeping footwork passed down by the Mu family, he flashed behind Chu Tianhong, pointing her out. A soft numb hole.
Unexpectedly, although Chu Tianhong is young, his father taught him kung fu since childhood.The Chu family's acupoint acupuncture skills are unparalleled in the world, and Mu Lianghua's acupoint acupuncture can be said to be like a master's axe.Chu Tianhong waved his backhand, the posture was extremely beautiful, using the technique of Lanhua hand, the little finger first touched the Quchi point on the tip of Mu Lianghua's elbow.
At this moment, there was a faint scream from the mountain, which could be heard as a woman's cry.
From this example to that, Chu Tianhong already knew what was going on without much doubt.I thought to myself: "Sister Xu is a very good person, I can't let her be bullied by Mu Liangju."
Chu Tianhong sneered and said: "You have to practice for another three years if you want to bully me!" As soon as she got rid of Mu Lianghua's entanglement, she immediately ran forward.
Mu Lianghua lit the "Quchi acupoint" for her, one arm was numb, but her legs could still move.He became angry from embarrassment, and chased after him again, shouting: "You ignorant girl, you dare to get rough with me. I let you because I like you. Do you think my martial arts are really not as good as yours? Hmph, you won't eat it!" Toast, then eat a fine bar!"
Chu Tianhong had no time to entangle with him, and only said coldly: "Okay, you want to compete with me, and then you can compete on the top of this mountain."
Her lightness kung fu was originally slightly better than Mu Lianghua's. The acupuncture points on Mu Lianghua's hands were touched, and her lightness kung fu was affected. Liang Hua was far behind.But Mu Lianghua's inner strength is deeper than Chu Tianhong's, and at this time he has cleared the customs and solved the acupoints by himself.Turning from embarrassment into anger, he chased after him yelling and drinking.
Chu Tianhong ran for a distance, and the voice above could be heard clearly again.
"Silly girl, that little girl from the Chu family is flirting with my second child right now, what are you going to do to scare away the mandarin ducks? Be obedient and make out with me. They're a couple, we're a couple, each has its own fun." , wouldn't it be great!" It was Mu Liangju's voice.
Chu Tianhong was angry in his heart, but he was also a little relieved. Hearing this tone, Xu Jinyao had not yet fallen into the clutches of the devil.
Xu Jinyao sneered and said, "Chu's sister will fall in love with your second child? Huh, I'm not good at learning and I was bullied by you; the Chu family's sister is much more capable than me, and your second child may not be able to bully her."
Mu Liangju smiled and said, "Don't use the word bullying, okay? Your father would like me to bully you like this."
Xu Jinyao reprimanded: "Nonsense, you are shameless, and dare to falsely accuse my father!"
Mu Liangju laughed and said, "What false accusation? Well, let me tell you the truth, it was your father who came up with the idea. He asked our brother to accompany you on a mountain tour, and especially told the second child not to be scrupled, no matter what method he uses. , I want to get this little girl Chu Tianhong. If you can't be soft, you can come to be tough. He said that as long as the raw rice is cooked, there is no fear that Chu Jinsong will not agree to this marriage."
Xu Jinyao blushed and shouted: "Nonsense, nonsense! My father will never be such a shameless villain!"
Although he said he didn't believe it, his voice trembled.Chu Tianhong heard it in his ears, while sighing for her, and at the same time rejoicing for himself.One must know that the fathers of both of them are known as "Heroes". In terms of fame, they are probably Xu Jinyao's father. "Zhongzhou Heroes" is bigger, but their character is not the same.At this moment, Chu Tianhong thought exactly the same way: "Fortunately, my father is not the same as hers."
There was another scream from above, and then Mu Liangju laughed loudly: "See, you can still escape my palm!" Xu Jinyao was able to escape the last scream, but this time it seemed that she was really caught up.
Hearing Xu Jinyao's anxious cry, Chu Tianhong didn't care so much anymore. He quickened his pace and called, "Sister Xu, sister Xu!"
As expected, Xu Jinyao was already in Mu Liangju's arms, struggling, when she heard Chu Tianhong calling her, she was overjoyed, and immediately called: "Sister Tianhong, you..."
Mu Liangju whispered in her ear: "You tell her to come up, I'll tear your clothes right away, and make you make a fool of yourself in front of her, let's see what she dares to do to me!"
Mu Lianghua was also chasing after Chu Tianhong, and almost at the same time he shouted: "I told you to mind your own business. Do you listen? Come back, come back! Otherwise, I will really be rude to you."
Xu Jinyao didn't know that Mu Liangju couldn't beat Chu Tianhong, let alone run against Chu Tianhong, thinking that even if Chu Tianhong wanted to save her, he would be powerless, and his heart sank again unconsciously.Thinking: "Sister Tianhong cannot protect herself. If I am insulted, Daddy will probably not stand up for me. A hero does not suffer immediate losses."
She was afraid that Mu Liangju would tear her clothes, so she quickly changed her words: "Sister Tianhong, don't come up, the mountain road is steep and difficult to walk, we will go down later!"
Chu Tianhong wondered whether what she said was true or not.Suddenly recalled: "No! Sister Xu knows that my lightness kung fu is better than hers. If she can go up, why should I not go up?" Although she is young, her intelligence is not weak. Thinking of why Xu Jinyao would lie She said nothing, and quickened her pace again.
Xu Jinyao's martial arts is not as good as Mu Liangju's, but even though she is struggling, Mu Liangju can't make her submit in a hurry.Mu Liangju smiled and said, "Anyway, you're mine now, so what's the point of kissing me? As long as you're sensible, be gentle with me, and kiss me, I'll let you go."
Xu Jinyao said angrily: "Nonsense, who belongs to you!" Get up anxiously and hit him with an elbow hammer.It's a pity that the two people's martial arts are far from each other. This elbow hammer hit Mu Liangju's left flank. Although it made Mu Liangju feel pain, it couldn't make him let go.Mu Liangju used a small grappling technique and twisted her arms, Xu Jinyao couldn't move.
After some struggle, Mu Liangju subdued her by force, but after doing so, Mu Liangju felt that life was boring.One must know that he has always admired himself, thinking that as long as his uncle likes it, any beauty in the world will flatter him, how many times has he been ridiculed like this?
He was hit by an elbow hammer, the pain was still there, and he was a little annoyed. He thought to himself: "You have to use force to get it, and that's not very interesting. I want this little girl to be willing. When she is really moved, you have to give me a hand."缠上我的时候，我才抛弃她，这才出了我的心头之气！”
他哼了一声，说道：“你爹爹将你许给我，你却不肯依从，莫非你是另有心上人么？”
徐锦瑶道：“不错，我是有心上人，那又怎样？”
穆良驹道：“那人是谁？”徐锦瑶道：“我为什么要告诉你？总之他比你好得多！”
穆良驹本来想用“软功”的，但他毕竟还是不脱大少爷脾气，一听此言，不觉又恼怒起来了，说道：“哦，他比我好得多？他的家世比我好么？他的武功比我强么？他的文才比我好么？他的相貌比我俊么？……”
徐锦瑶道：“你说的这些，也许他都比不上你，但我佩服他，他就比你好！”她想起的是她的师兄郭元宰，郭元宰的确不能算是出色的人物，但在她父亲门下的众弟子中，却是唯一有“铁骨”的人。
穆良驹道：“哦，我就没有你值得佩服的地方么？”
徐锦瑶道：“待我想想看。对不住，我可还没有想到，你放了我再说吧。”
穆良驹此时已是意兴萧索，但大少爷的脾气，又不甘心就这样放她，说道：“好吧，你对我笑一笑，叫我一声亲哥哥我就放你。”
徐锦瑶叫不出口，也笑不出来。
不料她没有笑，另一个人却在笑了。
这个人也不知是在什么地方突然钻出来，此时正倚着一棵离他们不到十步之遥的松树，面对他们冷笑！
冷笑声刺耳之极，穆良驹听得尤其难受，他一惊之下，不觉就放开了徐锦瑶，猛地跳起来。
一瞧，只见这个肆无忌惮发声冷笑的人是个年纪似乎比他还轻的少年。
穆良驹喝道：“你是什么人，你笑什么？”
那少年人道：“我是什么人，待会儿自然有人会告诉你。至于你问我笑什么，我倒是现在就可以告诉你。我看见一头癞蛤蟆，这头癞蛤蟆想吃天鹅肉，我禁不住笑了！”
穆良驹大怒喝道：“你敢笑我是癞蛤蟆！”
说话之间，楚天虹与穆良骅，一前一后，都已来到。楚天虹避过一旁，不与穆良骅站在一起。
那少年哈哈一笑，说道：“我说错了，原来不只一头癞蛤蟆，是两头癞蛤蟆！”
穆良驹哪曾受过如此辱骂，唰的就拔出剑来！
穆良骅虽是弟弟，却比哥哥较为慎重，心里也较细密，见这少年一副有恃无恐的样子，心里想道：“这小子胆敢如此猖狂，定必有几分本领，我们和他打架，纵然可以打赢，伤了皮肉也是不值。”于是连忙叫道：“哥哥且慢！”
穆良驹道：“什么，你怕这小子吗？用不着你帮手！”
穆良骅道：“不是这个意思。他刚才的口气，似乎咱们这里有人认得他，不如问清楚再作区处。”说罢把眼睛望向楚天虹。
楚天虹对这少年倒是颇有好感，问道：“喂，你敢情是和我的爹相识的吧？”她只道这少年早已知道她的来历，故此特地骂穆家兄弟做癞蛤蟆，替她出口气的。
那少年道：“令尊是谁？”
楚天虹道：“扬州楚劲松。”
那少年啊呀一声，说道：“原来姑娘是扬州楚大侠的千金，失敬，失敬。令尊我是钦仰已久的了。”
楚天虹回过头来，瞪了穆良骅一眼，说道：“你还盯着我看做什么，我只可惜爹爹未曾交上这样一位敢骂你们做癞蛤蟆的朋友。”
那少年微微一笑，说道：“多谢姑娘看得起我。”
穆良驹惊疑不定，心道：“莫非这小子就是她的意中人？”哼了一声，径自向徐锦瑶问道：“你认识他吧？”
自从那少年出现，徐锦瑶立即面色大变，竟然好像呆了一样。
此时穆良驹向她一问，她方才如梦初醒的叫了出来：“他，他烧变了灰我也认识！”
少年微笑道：“徐姑娘，我也想不到会在这里碰上你。你还恨我吗？”
徐锦瑶咬牙道：“我恨不得一剑杀了你！”
少年笑道：“对不住，要我舍弃别的还可以，要我舍了性命给你解恨这就做不到了。”
穆家兄弟大吃一惊，齐声问道：“他是谁？”
徐锦瑶道：“他就是我家的大仇人飞天神龙！”
飞天神龙摇了摇头，说道：“徐姑娘，你错了。我和令尊虽然结有梁子，和你却并无冤仇！”
徐锦瑶怒道：“你伤了我的爹爹，抢了我的继母。令我徐家蒙受奇耻大辱，你还能说不是我的仇人？”
飞天神龙笑道：“那天你不是赶走姜雪君的么，怎的现在又认她作继母了。你给我定的这两条罪名，我只能接受一半。姜雪君不是我抢走的。至于伤你爹爹，过错也不在我！”
徐锦瑶怒道：“是你跑到我的家中伤人，难道反而是我爹爹错了不成？”
飞天神龙道：“你是徐中岳的女儿，我不愿意在你的面前辱骂你的爹爹。我只能说，要是你的爹爹的人品能及你一半，我也不至于和他结怨了！”
这话虽然没有明说，其实已是等于骂她的父亲人品卑劣。徐锦瑶气得咬牙切齿，只因自知本身的武功和飞天神龙差得太远，动手就是送死，这才不敢鲁莽从事。
穆家兄弟面面相觑，一时之间也不知该当如何才好。
飞天神龙笑道：“两位贵少爷，你们现在知我是谁了，你们打算怎样？我在这里恭候你们区处！”
穆良驹胆子较大，喝道：“你知道我们是谁，还敢这样大胆！”
飞天神龙哈哈一笑，说道：“我不但知道令尊是谁，还知道令尊正要捉我呢！嘿嘿，我既然敢来京师，那是准备令尊和我为难的了。我不大胆也不行啊！”
徐锦瑶心念一动，说道：“穆大哥，你不是夸说你爹爹的蹑云剑法是天下无双的么，你又说你已得了令尊的衣钵真传，那么即使你比不上令尊，也可以进入当世高手之列了，为何你害怕飞天神龙呢？”
穆良驹满面通红，说道：“谁说我害怕他，只不过，只不过……”
徐锦瑶道：“不过什么？”
穆良驹道：“我与他无怨无仇，何必和他动手。”
飞天神龙哈哈大笑：“两位穆少爷，我倒是佩服你们呢。”
穆良驹怔了一怔，说道：“你佩服我什么？”
飞天神龙说道：“佩服你们的涵养功夫。你是穆统领大人的公子，我骂你们是癞蛤蟆，难得你们竟不动气。嘿嘿，不过话说回来，你们虽然与我无怨无仇，令尊却是把我当作眼中钉的，你们不肯盲从令尊！这就更难得了！”
飞天神龙说的当然乃是反话，但在“反话”之中，实也含有指点是非的深意。不过这对活宝贝却（漏否定词）能领略他的深意，听在耳中，难受之极！
徐锦瑶火上加油，冷冷说道：“穆大少爷，你听见了没有，原来飞天神龙之所以对你佩服，是佩服你不肯与你的爹爹同流合污！不过这倒令我糊涂了，令尊是御林军统领，你不是一向以有这样一个父亲为荣的吗？怎的现在又鄙弃令尊了。”
穆良驹本是唯我独尊的大少爷脾气，只因惮忌飞天神龙了得，这才不敢发作。此时被徐锦瑶一激，忍无可忍，大怒喝道：“这小子胡说八道，你也跟他胡说八道。”
徐锦瑶道：“哦，你不要他佩服你吗？”
穆良驹道：“谁要他佩服？我只要你佩服！”
徐锦瑶笑道：“你要我佩服你，这也容易得很，你给我把这小子拿下来吧！”
穆良驹无可退缩，唰的拔出剑来，喝道：“好小子，你胆敢侮辱我爹爹，是可忍孰不可忍！”口里这样说，但却并没立即出招。口中说话，眼睛则是望着弟弟。
飞天神龙好似知道他的心思，哈哈一笑，说道：“素闻穆家的蹑云剑法，以轻灵飘忽见长，两人合使，尤其厉害……”
穆良驹哼了一声，说道：“你知道就好！嘿嘿，要是你不敢和我比剑的话，那也……”
飞天神龙哈哈笑道：“你错了，我的话尚未说完呢。我是想请你们兄弟俩并肩子上！一来可省我功夫；二来我不愿以大欺小；三来我也想看看穆家的蹑云剑法是否真的厉害，还是浪得虚名。”
穆良驹正是想要与他弟弟联剑攻敌，闻言便道：“飞天神龙，你欺我太甚。好，这话可是你自己说的，不是我们要以多为胜。弟弟，并肩子上吧！”
穆良骅比较谨慎，但此时亦已万难退避，心想：“我们双剑合璧，纵不能胜，料想亦可保持不败。不过我们兄弟上去拼命，这两个丫头却站在一旁袖手旁观，未免有点不值！”
心念未已，只听得飞天神龙又在说道：“我不能占小辈便宜，这样吧，我先让你们十招我才出手，我一出手，三招之内，要是不能将你们击败，我愿束手就擒，任由你们处置！”
他的年纪其实比穆良驹还小，却以长辈自居，令得楚天虹都忍俊不禁，笑了起来。
但穆家兄弟虽然生气，却也放下了心上一块石头。要知他们家的蹑云剑法以轻灵迅捷见长，蹑云剑法本来就是克制轻功高强的圣手的，两人俱是想道：“你若不还手，十招之内，我们伤不了你，除非我们是瞎了眼睛，又即使伤不了你，也决无在三招之内，就被你击败之理！”
穆良驹喝道：“此话当真？”
飞天神龙道：“这两位姑娘可作证人。我若是言而无信，岂不怕给她们耻笑！”
穆良驹一抖长剑，喝道：“好，这是你自作自受，死了可别怨我！”
穆良骅忽道：“哥哥，且慢。”
穆良驹怔了一怔，说道：“还不动手，更待何时？”这话本应是飞天神龙说的，他怕弟弟临阵退缩，抢先说了出来。
穆良骅暗笑哥哥草包，不知道乘机勒索，说道：“哥哥，这小子是徐家的大仇人，你替徐姑娘报父仇，也该向她讨个彩啊！”
穆良驹瞿然一省，说道：“对，我给你报仇，不能只博得你一声称赞，总得有点实惠才行。你说，你准备怎样报答我？”
徐锦瑶踌躇未答，飞天神龙笑道：“徐姑娘，你尽管答应他，我不会令你失望的！”
穆良驹怒道：“小子，你别挑拨离间，难道她还能希望我们打败不成！”
徐锦瑶一咬牙根，说道：“好，你们若是能替我报得家仇，不管是杀掉了这小子也好，活捉这小子也好，你要我怎样，我都可以依从！”
穆良骅说道：“哥哥，你的彩物已经有了，我也得讨个彩物啊！”说罢，眼睛望着楚天虹。
楚天虹撇撇小嘴，说道：“你们打你们的，与我何干？”
穆良骅道：“你怎能说不相干呢？令尊此次来到京师，不就是为了要对付飞天神龙这小贼的么？”
飞天神龙道：“楚姑娘，我也听说令尊是接了剪大先生和徐中岳联名所发的英雄帖，只不知是真是假？”
楚天虹低声道：“是真的。不过……”她本来想向飞天神龙解释她的父亲已有悔意，而她和她的父亲也并非完全一样的。但一想岂能如此“交浅言深”？何况，严格说来，“交浅言深”这四个字都不能用，因为她和飞天神龙根本就没有交情！
飞天神龙好像知道她的心思，说道：“多谢姑娘没有把我当作敌人。”穆良骅怪叫道：“哦，原来你们两个已是一见如故么？但我好像并未听见楚姑娘这样说过。楚姑娘，他以你的朋友自居，你承不承认？”
楚天虹面上一红，冷冷说道：“不是敌人，未必是朋友，这里的人，只有徐姐姐是我朋友！”
穆良骅变了面色，冷冷说道：“如此说来，你竟是把我们同这小子一视同仁了？”
楚天虹板起面孔不作声，心道：“如果要我说出真话，恐怕更要气得你们暴跳如雷！”要知她虽然尚未把穆家兄弟当作敌人，但讨厌他们之情，已是溢乎辞色。
穆良骅不知趣，又冷笑道：“楚姑娘，你想置身事外，但可惜此事却是与令尊有关！”
飞天神龙哈哈笑道：“光明磊落的敌人往往胜过口蜜腹剑的朋友。楚姑娘，我不知令尊是否把我当作敌人，但你若是为了令尊的原故，站在他们那一边，我也不会怪你的。”
楚天虹已经得了一个主意，说道：“我谁也不帮。不过，穆二少爷要我凑这个热闹，我倒不妨和他下个赌注！”
穆良骅一愕，瞪眼说道：“什么赌注？”
楚天虹道：“你不是要和我比武的么？”
穆良骅气往上冲，说道：“你要我先比一场？这还不是帮这小子？”
楚天虹道：“我说过谁也不帮。我只想问你，比武之约，你不想取消吧？”
穆良骅道：“不想取消又怎么样？”
楚天虹道：“那么你和飞天神龙比个高下就行了。只要你们兄弟二人联手，能够胜得了他，我就当作是我输了给你！”
穆良骅道：“哦，原来你是把赌注落在他的身上。好，我和你赌。但你可不能只承认输了就算！”
楚天虹道：“按江湖规矩，比武输了，任由对方处置。只要你胜得飞天神龙，你拿我去为奴作婢也都可以。”
穆良骅笑道：“小美人儿，我可舍不得拿你作奴婢呢。”
楚天虹喝道：“住口。我还没有说完呢，你们输了，那又如何？”
穆良骅道：“你意欲如何？”
楚天虹道：“不许你再来与我纠缠！我不想要你这样的朋友！”
穆良骅几曾受过如此轻蔑，心中自是恼怒万分。但他自以为已是稳操胜券，是以心中虽然生气，却反而大笑起来，说道：“丫头，你自抬身价，我也不屑与你计较。待会儿胜负一决，看你来不来求我？”
飞天神龙冷笑：“两位穆少爷，你们只是光会耍嘴皮子的么？”
穆良驹一抖长剑，朗声道：“徐姑娘！麻烦你替我们记一记招数，免得他抵赖！小子，瞧着，第一招来了！”
经过许多“做作”，方始出招。楚天虹几乎要笑出来。
但出乎她的意料的是，穆家兄弟虽然诸多作态，倒不是虚张声势。
只见两道剑光，疾如电闪，登时就把飞天神龙笼罩在剑光下。他们自小就练家传剑法，果然是配合得恰到好处。这一招名为“十字穿梭剑”，正是蹑云剑法的绝招之一。
楚天虹年纪虽小，见识却是不浅。一见他们使出此招，便知他们的剑势是要织成十字穿梭，飞天神龙的身形若然不能摆脱“十”字的笼罩，身上就非添了两个透明的窟隆不可。但而今飞天神龙的身形刚好是在“十”字交叉之点！
楚天虹大吃一惊，心里想道：“难道飞天神龙竟是浪得虚名？”她本来想笑的也笑不出来了。
但心念未已，只觉眼睛一花，耳中已是听得徐锦瑶说道：“第二招！”这第一招飞天神龙是怎样避开的，楚天虹看也看不清楚。
蹑云剑法越展越快，也越来越见凶狠。好几招在徐、楚二女看来，剑尖似乎已经刺到飞天神龙的身上，但不知怎的，一转眼又见飞天神龙似笑非笑的脱出剑光圈外。有时他甚至迎着剑势跑过去，但穆家兄弟仍是刺不着他。
徐锦瑶看得惊心动魄，不知不觉，已是忘记了数第几招。她自己也不知道，究竟是希望穆家兄弟得胜还是希望飞天神龙能够脱险。
忽听得飞天神龙说道：“穆家的蹑云剑法本来是可以列为上乘剑法之一的，可惜你这两个草包还未学得一成，莫说十招，一百招也不能伤我。”在他说话之间，穆家兄弟又已连出三招。这三招楚天虹则是看得较为清楚了，两兄弟的剑尖，连飞天神龙的衣角都没沾着。
飞天神龙接着哈哈一笑，说道：“已经是第十二招了，该轮到我出手啦！”
就在此时，忽听得有人叫道：“是谁在上面打架？”隔着一段山腰，声音还是好像在耳边吆喝一般。楚天虹吃了一惊，心里想道：“这人内功倒是不弱，虽然比不上我的爹爹，相差恐怕也不太远。不知他是来帮谁的？”
穆家兄弟喜出望外，不约而同，齐声应道：“是我，彭总管，你快来！”楚天虹这才知道，原来来的就是以前当过大内一等侍卫，如今是在御林军统领穆志遥军中做“总护院”的彭大遒。
穆家兄弟口中呼唤，脚底一个移形易位，已是并肩而立，剑法也突然变了。从急攻变为固守，双剑交叉挥舞，互相弥补破绽。楚天虹的剑法造诣较深，看出厉害，心里想道：“飞天神龙只凭一双肉掌，若要击败对方，非用空手入白刃的功夫不可，空手入白刃必须有空门可乘，他们兄弟的剑法配合得天衣无缝，只怕水也泼不进去。飞天神龙却又如何能够在三招之内击败他们？”
飞天神龙明知对方强援将到，却是丝毫不以为意，哈哈一笑，道：“狗腿子来得正好，待我打了主人，再打恶狗。”
穆良驹冷笑道：“看你如何能在三招之内打败我们？”他生怕飞天神龙食言，特地又再出言提醒。
飞天神龙朗声说道：“我说过三招当然就是三招！你瞧着吧，第一招来了！”
这第一招“出手”其实还不是“出手”，而是“出袖”。只见他笼手袖中，挥袖向穆良驹的长剑卷去。
穆良驹不敢轻敌，用了一招“横云断峰”，他拿的是把宝剑，心里想道：“我这把剑吹毛立断，你以为可以柔克刚，那是做梦！”只待他的衣袖卷来，登时就可削去他半截衣袖。打着如意算盘，要是飞天神龙缩手不快，说不定还可削断他的手臂。
袖风剑影之中，只听得“铮”的一声响，穆良驹的宝剑没削断飞天神龙的手臂，却和他弟弟穆良骅的宝剑碰个正着。
原来飞天神龙是用“借力打力”的手法，衣袖只是轻轻在穆良驹的剑脊上一挥，便将他的剑势引过一边，恰好和他弟弟的宝剑碰上。
两兄弟剑法相若，功力相当。飞天神龙这一从中牵拨又恰到好处。只听得“铮”的一声响，双剑同时脱手。
飞天神龙出手如电，立即左右开弓噼噼啪啪，打了穆家兄弟两记耳光。
飞天神龙喝道：“这是第二招，还有一招，怕你们禁受不起，权且记下，以后再讨。你们给我滚！”大喝声中，穆家兄弟滚出数丈开外。他们各自受了两记耳光，脸上都好似开了颜料铺一般，皮绽肉裂，满是血污。
一个转身，飞天神龙到了楚天虹面前。楚天虹虽然料想他不会将自己难为，也不禁吃了一惊。
只听得
