Chapter 3 The 3rd Round
Surprised and delighted, Yang Mu said, "Mr. Yang is late, please forgive me, my lord."
Wu Sutai smiled and said: "It's not that you came late, it's that I came a little earlier. I was concerned about your business, so I had to fight to be blamed by the emperor and leave the palace half an hour earlier. However, I guess the emperor will not know .”
Yang Mu made a grateful expression and said, "The Chief Manager loves you so much, it's hard for Yang to be smashed to pieces."
Wu Sutai said: "Our old brother, there is no need to say polite words. Do you know why I am so eager to see you?"
Yang Mu said, "My lord, please clarify."
Wu Sutai said: "You find this imperial edict for the emperor, the emperor is very happy. But there is one more thing, if you can complete it together, the emperor will be even happier. At that time, not only will I give you a share of the benefits You will not be missing, and I am going to recommend you as the deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army, you are already in the emperor's heart, and the emperor will approve it."
Yang Mu felt itchy, and said: "Please tell the manager, Yang will go through fire and water, and dare not refuse."
Wu Sutai said: "This matter is difficult to say, easy to say, I want you to arrest a person."
Hearing what he said, Yang Mu felt a little uneasy, and thought to himself: "Could it be that he was talking about Yan'er?" He asked, "I don't know who this person is?"
Wu Sutai said: "I heard that your son went to Beijing with a woman, and the edict originally belonged to that woman's family?"
Yang Mu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's right. Is it her that the Master Manager wants to arrest?"
Wu Sutai didn't answer immediately, but said, "Do you know who she is?"
Yang Mu said: "I only know that her surname is Long, and people in the world call her Little Demon Girl."
Wu Sutai smiled and said: "In this way, you don't know as much as I do. You are only half right. Yes, she is the little demon girl who has caused trouble everywhere in the world in recent years. But her surname is not Long, she It is Nian, a descendant of Nian Gengyao!"
Yang Mu was taken aback, and said, "Nian Gengyao's descendants?" At this moment, he suddenly realized, and said, "No wonder she has this imperial edict hidden!"
Wu Sutai said slowly: "Nian Gengyao offended Emperor Sejong (Yongzheng). The imperial decree issued is still valid today. That is to say, all descendants of Nian Gengyao, the current emperor must also use him to behead him!"
Hearing this, Yang Yan squeezed a cold sweat in his hands, thinking: "So they want to harm Miss Zhu! It's been seventy years, and they still want to kill the grass! It's so vicious! I don't know if Daddy will agree to him? "
I only heard Yang Mu say: "I heard that the Lord Yuwen of White Camel Mountain and this little demon girl also have Liangzi."
Wu Sutai laughed and said: "Your news is also well-informed. Yes, I intend to avenge my good friend this time. You have helped me by doing your best for the emperor! If you don't like the reward of the deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army Not enough, I can give you a little more benefit!"
Yang Mu said with a smile: "How dare I bargain with the general manager. It is already my honor that the general manager is willing to send me. What's more, I still work for the emperor?"
Wu Sutai said: "It's easy to say, easy to say, so you agree?"
Yang Mu said with a smile, "I've already done this. Didn't Vice President Wei tell you yet?" Wu Sutai said, "Oh, what did you do?" Yang Mu said, "I've already heard about it from my son. The whereabouts of that little demon girl has already been known to Vice President Wei, who sent someone to capture her. I think that little demon girl will be sent here after dawn."
Wu Sutai suddenly raised his face, and said coldly: "The little demon girl will not be sent here. Not only will she not come, but the three people you sent will never come back!"
Yang Mu was taken aback, and said: "They were all beaten to death by that little demon girl?" Wu Sutai said: "I don't know who killed them, anyway, they are all dead!"
Yang Mu tremblingly said: "My lord, have you sent people there? Have you seen their bodies?"
Wu Sutai sneered and said, "Aren't you still a little bit unconvinced? Hmph, it's fine if Deputy Director Wei doesn't know that little demon girl's abilities. That little demon girl is your son's good friend, so you can't help but feel sorry for her." Details?"
Yang Mu couldn't express his pain, and thought, "Yan'er hasn't even told me her name, how can I know how deep she is in martial arts?"
Wu Sutai said coldly: "From this point of view, I am afraid that your son and you are not of the same mind? It seems that he still has many things to hide from you!"
Yang Mu panicked and said: "My lord, please be clear. My son has been separated from me since he was a child. I can't guarantee that he has never handed over to the gangsters by mistake. I just want to persuade him slowly after this incident is completed."
Wu Sutai didn't wait for him to finish speaking, suddenly changed his face again, and said with a smile: "You don't have to explain to me, I probably know more about your son than you. Of course, I also know that you are sincerely loyal to the emperor. To trick your son into being used by the court."
Yang Mu turned from worry to joy, and quickly thanked: "Thank you for your insight."
Yang Yan was eavesdropping outside, trembling with anger.
I only heard Wu Sutai continue to say: "But you shouldn't startle the snake and send people to arrest that little witch!
"That's right. As soon as I got the report from Deputy Chief Wei, I immediately sent more people to that location. As expected, the people I sent only found three corpses, and the little demon girl had long since disappeared. !"
Wusu used both grace and power, and Yang Mu couldn't help but his heart pounding again when he told him.
Wu Sutai snorted, and then said: "Brother Yang, you originally made a lot of contributions this time, but it's a pity that you left the court and committed crimes. If the little demon girl can't be caught, your contributions will probably be wiped out! No! It doesn't matter if you get the credit, I'm most afraid that the emperor will pursue it, alas, alas, whether you can make up for your mistakes, I'm afraid, I'm afraid it's hard to say!"
Yang Mu seemed to have fallen from the golden platform into an ice cave, and said in a trembling voice, "The villain still has a remedy."
Wu Sutai said: "How to remedy it?"
Yang Mu said: "I agreed with Xiao'er to go into seclusion with him, so we might as well make a fake show. As soon as I get a chance, I will capture that little demon girl with crisp bones."
Wu Sutai said coldly: "Will your son let you do this?"
Yang Mu gritted his teeth, and said ruthlessly: "If necessary, I will also make that little beast unconscious. But please be lenient in the punishment, Mr. Xu will take the dog back to discipline him."
Wu Sutai said: "For your sake, I can of course be lenient to your son. However, how to deal with him is still out of the question. From my point of view, your method may be difficult to use."
He paused, then continued: "The fault is that you have already startled the snake. That little demon girl is not stupid. How could she not have thought that someone would come to arrest her because her son told you her address! Now she If you meet with your son, and she reveals the matter by then, I'm afraid your son won't believe you anymore!"
Yang Mu also knew that there was a loophole, but he was prevaricated for a while, so he could only say: "Let the villain think carefully, or you can make up a story to make them believe it."
Wu Sutai said coldly: "Don't think that they are young and easy to be fooled, I don't want to do things that I am not sure about!"
Under his staring eyes, Yang Mu trembled with fright, and said, "Then please give me some advice, the younger ones should do what the adults want them to do."
Wu Sutai said: "Okay!" He said a good word, and suddenly Yang Mu yelled "Ouch!"
Yang Mu's sudden exclamation surprised Qi Shijie and Yang Yan who were eavesdropping outside.
Yang Yan was especially surprised, only thought that his father had already been murdered by Wu Sutai.
Although he was already ashamed to recognize a thief as his father, the love between father and son is natural after all. At this moment, he could hardly bear to rush in to save people.
Qi Shijie grabbed him and whispered in his ear: "Don't be impulsive, he won't kill your father, there must be another conspiracy."
Sure enough, Qi Shijie guessed it right.
Qi Shijie hadn't finished talking yet, only to hear Yang Mu yelling: "My lord, I am completely loyal to you. Even if you want to punish my son, I am willing to sacrifice him. Please spare me!"
Wu Sutai laughed and said, "I know you are loyal to me, and I didn't mean to offend you. Although your son has misbehaved, for your sake, I will let him go. Don't guess."
Yang Mu was puzzled, and said, "My lord, why did you tap the small acupuncture point?"
It turned out that Wu Sutai had just ordered a numb point on him, and he couldn't move.There is no fear of life, and the speech is normal.But he suddenly tapped the acupoints, of course he was greatly surprised.
Wu Sutai smiled and said: "Brother Yang, I'm sorry to make you feel wronged. I have no intention of tapping your acupuncture points, but I just want to relieve your pain."
Yang Mu was puzzled, and thought: "I didn't suffer any pain. Could it be that he had good intentions when he clicked on my numb points?" But he didn't dare to ask his immediate superior directly.
Wusutai took down a python whip hanging on the wall and said: "I'm so sorry, but the fake show must be done for real. Brother Yang, please bear with me, I may beat you to the point of bruises all over your body. However, you have given I clicked on the numb points, and it didn't feel too painful."
Only then did Yang Mu understand the meaning of what he just said.
It is no trivial matter for a python to whip a person, it will hurt the bones.This injury is very difficult to heal, even if there is Ouchi's secret gold medicine, which can prevent the disability, it may take a year or so to recover.What's more, Wu Sutai had already declared that he was going to be beaten to the ground with bruises all over his body!
Yang Mu tremblingly said: "My lord, you are so considerate of the villain, the villain is very grateful. But I don't know what crime the villain has committed, and the adults want to beat the villain severely?"
Wu Sutai frowned and said: "You are a smart person, why are you confused? I have already told you that I didn't beat you because you committed a crime, it was just a fake show. You still don't understand ?"
Yang Mu had already guessed a few points, and his heart became more and more frightened, and he said in a low voice: "Please forgive the ignorance of the villain, and I hope the adults will give advice."
Wu Sutai said slowly: "If you really don't understand, I'll tell you, I want to exchange you for that little witch!"
Yang Mu said: "This, this... my lord, do you want the dog to bring that little demon girl? This, I'm afraid, I'm afraid..." He was so frightened that he could hardly speak.
Wu Sutai said: "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I will beat you into a cripple, or that your son will ignore the relationship between father and son?"
Yang Mu said: "To be loyal to the emperor, to do my best for the adults, the little ones are willing to give up their lives. But the little one is already fascinated by that little demon girl, I'm afraid he may not be willing to make this deal!"
Wu Sutai said coldly: "It's better than the method you just thought of. In any case, he is also your own son. Therefore, I have to make a fake show and let him see you being beaten all over. Appearance. As the saying goes, the Yellow River will never die, and he will not shed tears when he sees the coffin. As long as he has a little affection for father and son, I believe he will not have the heart to let his father suffer. Besides, there are many beauties in the world. This deal, the son may not be willing to do it ! Since you are willing to give up your life, even if it doesn’t work, you should try this method!”
Yang Mu had the acupuncture points tapped, but he couldn't move. Seeing the python whipping him, he yelled loudly: "Master, wait a minute, wait for the younger ones to think of another better way."
Wu Sutai smiled and said: "Don't think about it, I've already asked Vice President Wei to find your son. Ye Chang has many dreams, and when you think of a way, I'm afraid that little demon girl will also escape from the capital. Brother Yang, don't be afraid , I have a sense of proportion in my actions, and I will not beat you into a cripple!"
With a snap, his python whip had already lashed Yang Mu's body hard.
Even though Yang Mu had the acupuncture points pressed, he still felt a burning pain.And the psychological fear was worse than the physical pain, he knew the consequences of being injured by the python whip, so he howled immediately.
Yang Yan couldn't bear to listen any longer, turned around and left.
He had thought about rushing in to stop Wusutai from committing crimes, but then he thought that he would not break the mechanism upstairs, and since his father was willing to be the eagle dog of the Qing court, let him suffer from his own people. That is what you deserve.
At this moment, he only had one thought, to go back quickly to find the Dragon Lingzhu, the father of this life can only be regarded as he is already dead.
It's a pity that he didn't know that Long Lingzhu had already arrived at his father's house.
Yang Mu's residence is on the same street as Wusutai's residence, with only a few families in between.
They walked out of that alley, Qi Shijie said: "Brother Yan, do you want to go back?"
Yang Yan said in a shy voice, "Go back, where are you going?"
Qi Shijie said: "My uncle's house." He didn't mention your father, but said "my uncle" because he understood Yang Yan's current mood and avoided provoking Yang Yan.
Yang Yan frowned, and said: "The matter is over, what should I go back to? The place you mentioned is the place I hate the most, and I will never go there again."
Qi Shijie said: "I'm afraid the matter is not completely over yet. Although you hate that place, there may be a person in that place that you want to meet."
Yang Yan was distracted, for a while he couldn't understand what Qi Shijie meant, only that he was talking about Min Chenglong.
"I don't need to untie Min Chenglong's acupoints for him. What I said to him was just to scare him. The pill was just the old mud I rubbed out on my body, and it was used as an antidote to deceive him. Yes. He won't die at all." Yang Yan said.
Qi Shijie laughed unknowingly, and said, "It's wonderful that you use this method to punish him! He won't get your other half of the 'antidote', and he will be worried and restless for at least three months. But... ..."
Yang Yan said: "But what?"
Qi Shijie said: "But I'm not talking about him."
Yang Yan was about to ask who he was, when he suddenly saw Qi Shijie hastened his pace, ran to the door of his father's house in one breath, waved to him, then raised a finger to signal him to be silent, and then went over the wall and entered.
It turned out that Qi Shijie had already faintly heard the sound of smashing inside, it was the sound of fighting.But because Yang Yan was distracted, he didn't hear it when he got to the door.
Min Chenglong was frightened by Yang Yan, he only said that one of his acupoints had really been restricted by Yang Yan's superior internal strength, and he only solved half of it.Yang Yan had told him not to use force, so he was so frightened that he could only sit cross-legged in the pavilion, not daring to move.
Suddenly someone said "Hey" and said, "Min Chenglong, what are you doing? You don't have to practice here to practice internal skills?"
Min Chenglong opened his eyes and took a look, both surprised and delighted.The person who came was Wei Changqing, the deputy head of the Ouchi guards.
Min Chenglong quickly stood up, saluted, and said: "Your Excellency is here, please forgive me, the teacher has already arrived at the residence."
Wei Changqing said: "I didn't come to look for your master, I came to look for his son!"
Min Chenglong was taken aback, and said: "Master Wei, you, you want to arrest Yang Yan?" He thought: Could it be that this kid has caused trouble in his home, but he was not caught on the spot, so Wei Changqing chased him here.
Wei Changqing said: "That's right. Hey, how did you know I was going to arrest him? What I just said was the word 'find', not the word 'catch'."
Min Chenglong heaved a sigh of relief, and thought: "It seems that he hasn't met Yang Yan yet." He quickly justified himself: "My junior has lost his family education and behaved badly, so I have been worried that he will make trouble sooner or later. I misheard the words of the adults."
Wei Changqing smiled and said: "You heard it wrong, but you are not mistaken. I want to arrest him! Hehe, don't panic, although your junior brother has misbehaved, I am not arresting him to punish him. It is the manager My lord wants to ask him to play a play."
He said "find" for a while, and "catch" for a while, which confused Min Chenglong. He was stunned for a while, and said: "Please forgive me for being unpredictable, what do you call acting?"
Wei Changqing knew that he was reliable, so he didn't hide it from him. He told him Wusutai's plan, and then said: "This is a fake show, do you understand it? Of course, Yang Yan can't let Yang Yan know about the play, and it doesn't have to be. To catch him. Well, I've told you the most confidential thing, you and I will find him right away. I may have a fight with him half-truth, and then you and I will fight Singing oboe."
Min Chenglong couldn't help but tell the truth: "My lord, it's a pity you came a step late, Yang Yan..."
Wei Changqing shouted: "How is he?"
Min Chenglong said: "He, he has already escaped."
Wei Changqing was taken aback and said, "Why did he run away? Ordinarily he shouldn't suspect that his father would be against him too!"
Min Chenglong said: "I don't know why he escaped. But I have tried my best to stop him, I, I have blocked an acupoint for him." Of course he didn't dare to tell the truth, he took the opportunity to come meritorious service.But my heart is worrying about gains and losses.
Wei Changqing said: "Oh, so that's the case. No wonder you are sitting here and dare not move. That acupuncture point of yours is restrained?"
Min Chenglong said: "The villain's martial arts are low, he only knows that one acupoint is controlled by him, within three months, he will have an attack at any time, and his life will be in danger if an attack occurs!"
Wei Changqing said: "Oh, is it so powerful? Let me see!" Immediately, he took Min Chenglong's pulse and examined it carefully.After the examination, Wei Changqing had a half-smile on his face.
Min Chenglong was heartbroken, and asked: "Master Wei, in your opinion, the little one's life is, can..." His heart trembled, and he didn't have the courage to ask the sentence "life may be saved".
Wei Changqing lightly pressed his shoulder and said, "Sit down, don't be irritable, just try your luck and take a look."
Min Chenglong tried it according to the words, only felt the "Qihai point" in the lower abdomen as if being pricked by a needle, and in a short while, the upper body felt numb.
Min Chenglong's surprise was no small matter, and he said: "The little thief controlled my acupoints and told me to try my luck. The feeling is exactly the same as now. But the acupoints are different. Just now I felt that the acupuncture point was Xuanji acupoint, now It’s the sea of air cave.”
He didn't dare to say a few words, he thought to himself: "Could it be that the half of the antidote that boy Yang Yan gave me is also fake, otherwise why did it happen so quickly?"
Wei Changqing was secretly amused in his heart, laughing that Min Chenglong didn't know that he had fallen for Yang Yan's trap.
It turns out that Wei Changqing's martial arts attainments are very profound, if only talking about martial arts cultivation, he is still above Wusutai, the head of the palace, because he is a Han, he has to be Wusutai's deputy.
There is internal energy to control one acupoint of the opponent, this kind of acupoint manipulation is indeed different from ordinary acupoint acupuncture as Yang Yan said, but it will never happen and die after three months.
He tried to find out that Min Chenglong had been used to make acupuncture points with superior internal strength, but he had already solved it.Since the acupoints had not been unlocked for a long time, he was able to diagnose them from the pulse, but he didn't know that Yang Yan had made the acupoints corresponding to the Xuanji acupoint.He also knows this kind of kung fu of making acupuncture points, but it is different from Yang Yan's technique.
He originally wanted to tell Min Chenglong the truth, but on second thought, it would be better for him not to tell him.So he pretended to ponder, with a dignified expression.
Min Chenglong's heartbeat became even more violent, and he said slowly: "What's the matter, Mr. Wei, please tell the truth."
Only then did Wei Changqing say: "Oh, that little thief is really good at making acupuncture points. Within three months, your life is indeed in danger! But..."
Min Chenglong hurriedly asked: "But what?"
Wei Changqing said slowly: "Don't panic, I can cure you. But it will take a little bit of my skill, don't worry, it won't happen again in a few days. After this big event, I'll treat it for you."
Min Chenglong was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed down: "Thank you for your kindness, sir."
Wei Changqing secretly laughed in his heart: "Yang Yan can lie to him, why can't I lie to him. Hehe, I have become his savior, and I am not afraid that he will not be used by me."
He laughed and said: "You are welcome, I am helping you, and I want you to help me."
Min Chenglong was flattered and said, "Your Excellency, just give orders."
Wei Changqing lowered his voice and said, "Now you have a chance to make meritorious service."
Min Chenglong was both happy and worried, not knowing what Wei Changqing wanted him to do.I thought that although meritorious service is good, it is not worthwhile to work hard.He was worried about gains and losses, so he had to pretend to be extremely respectful and said: "Please advise me, my lord."
Wei Changqing said: "Yang Yan ran away, but that little witch..." At this point, he stopped suddenly, with a strange expression on his face.
Min Chenglong was about to ask him, but Wei Changqing shook his hand, motioning for him to silence.Then he pointed to the stone table with the chess board in the middle of the gazebo, and made a gesture.This gesture is to tell him to activate the mechanism to lure the enemy into ambush.
Min Chenglong could understand his gesture, but he couldn't hear a sound. He didn't understand why Wei Changqing was busy designing for him so nervously, "Could he be sure that this kid Yang Yan will come back?"
Before thinking about it, Wei Changqing had already hid behind the gazebo.
Just as Wei Changqing hid his figure, a person suddenly appeared in front of Min Chenglong.
She was a young girl who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old.
Long Lingzhu broke into Yang's house, thinking there would be a fight, but unexpectedly it was strangely peaceful.
No one stopped her along the way, and she found out that the servant of the Yang family had his acupoints tapped.She didn't know that it was Qi Shijie's doing, she only thought it was Yang Yan's doing, and she was suspicious.
It wasn't until she arrived at this gazebo that she found a person who could move.
Min Chenglong hadn't seen her, and she hadn't seen Min Chenglong either.
But after this meeting, both of them knew who the other was.
Long Lingzhu shouted: "I know that you are Min Chenglong, Yang Mu's big disciple, and I also know that you are the worst person, but I am not afraid that you dare to play tricks in front of me. If I have something to ask you, you must be honest. Answer!" Ae Chenglong is a big bastard, she already knew it from Yang Yan.
Of course, Min Chenglong guessed that she was the "little demon girl".However, seeing that Long Lingzhu was so young, he couldn't help feeling a little contemptuous.
Wei Changqing had already agreed to heal him, he thought: "This little demon is still young, I just need to knock him down with one palm, a little bit of strength, forgive me." The decision was made, he sneered, and suddenly challenged: " With you, a little demon girl, you dare to... Ouch, yo!"
Before the words were finished, his palm didn't even touch the hem of Long Lingzhu's clothes, and Long Lingzhu grabbed it.Long Lingzhu only used two points of internal strength, and it already made him howl like a pig.
Long Lingzhu shouted: "Did you create an acupuncture point for Yang Yan not long ago?"
Min Chenglong didn't expect that she would grab him and ask this matter as soon as he opened his mouth. "Girl, you, how do you know?" He panicked.
Long Lingzhu didn't answer his question, but sneered: "With your little kung fu, you still want to kill me? Hmph, even if you don't control his acupoints, if you practice for ten years, you won't succeed!"
Min Chenglong said: "Girl, I have no intention of killing you..."
Long Lingzhu said: "Then you want to make meritorious service with me?"
Min Chenglong was in unbearable pain, and moaned: "The villain made a mistake, please forgive me, girl!"
Long Lingzhu said: "Because Yang Yan doesn't bother to kill you, I can spare you once. But there are only three things, you must answer my questions honestly, otherwise don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless." Only then did Min Chenglong let go.
Min Chenglong recovered his life, and said quickly: "The villain dare not, what do you want to ask, girl, the villain will never hide what he knows."
Long Lingzhu sneered and said: "Yang Yan is willing to forgive you because he hoped you would change your mind, right? If you don't know how to repent, you will have to die yourself. Hmph, I am not afraid that you will lie to me. Where is Yang Yan now, tell me quickly!"
Long Lingzhu once exchanged internal skills with Yang Yan, and Yang Yan's acupoint-making skills are great, so Long Lingzhu is familiar with it.Therefore, although Min Chenglong only had one trick with her, she already knew that Min Chenglong restrained Yang Yan's acupuncture point and then untied it, but she couldn't judge the exact time, she can only estimate that it was not more than half an hour "not long ago".
Her remarks were just because she wanted to ask about Yang Yan, so she said it casually to condemn Min Chenglong.
But the speaker has no intentions, but the listener has intentions, Min Chenglong couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.At first he didn't dare to believe that Wei Changqing could cure him, but now he couldn't help thinking: "Since this little demon girl can see that my acupoints have been restrained by Yang Yan, she must also see that I have been in three months. Life is in danger." He only thought that what Long Lingzhu said must mean this, and he couldn't believe Wei Changqing's promise even more.
But Wei Changqing was lying in ambush, so he didn't dare to confess to Long Lingzhu without any concealment.
He hesitated, Long Lingzhu got impatient and shouted: "Min Chenglong, are you going to say it or not?"
Min Chenglong thought to himself: "If I don't obey Wei Changqing's order, he will kill me as soon as this little demon girl leaves. But if I help him capture this little demon girl, how can Yang Yan give me the antidote? Oh, yes gone."
In a hurry to make a living, Min Chenglong winked at Long Lingzhu and said, "Junior Brother Yang, he, he..."
Long Lingzhu was very surprised: "He winked at me, what does that mean?"
"What about him?" Long Lingzhu shouted.
"He tapped my acupuncture points and went down." Min Chenglong said.
"Go down, what does this mean?"
"It means that he is under the gazebo." Min Chenglong said while pressing the mechanism, and the stone table moved away, revealing the entrance of the tunnel.
Long Lingzhu said: "The following is..."
Min Chenglong said: "There is a tunnel below, and my master is in a secret room in the tunnel. Junior brother Yang has already become suspicious of his father, so he tapped my acupoints and forced me to tell the secret. He wants to face him. Ask his father."
Long Lingzhu was secretly surprised, and thought: "Brother Yang still wants to persuade his father one last time, this is really wishful thinking. I hope Yang Mu has a little bit of kinship, so that he won't be killed immediately." Min Chenglong said If it's reasonable, she can't help but believe it a little bit.
"What mechanism is down here?" she asked.
"No, no. Really not!" Min Chenglong said.
In fact, although there are no traps or traps below, there are still traps.Long Lingzhu doesn't know how to open it, so it can only go in, not come out.There was no food in it, so Wei Changqing's idea was to starve her for a few days, and then he would be able to grab her without much effort.
However, when Min Chenglong said this, he deliberately emphasized his tone to arouse her suspicion.
"Are you serious?"
Min Chenglong was afraid that she still didn't understand, so he said: "How dare a villain lie to you, don't worry, you can find Yang Yan as soon as you go." As he spoke, he wrote the word "go" in the air with his finger.I thought, Wei Changqing was hiding behind the gazebo, even if he saw his gestures, he would not know that he was writing the word "go".Most of them thought he was pointing the entrance to the tunnel.
He was worried about gain and loss, uneasy, wondering if Long Lingzhu Ming understood what he meant.I saw that Long Lingzhu didn't walk away, but walked towards the entrance of the tunnel.
She made a gesture to jump down, but stopped again, looking down, as if she was still hesitating.
Min Chenglong was worried about gains and losses, and his heart was beating "bubu".Can't help shouting: "Please believe in my advice, I won't lie to you." The word "advice" is emphasized, hoping that Long Lingzhu understands what he means.
Before the words were finished, there was only a whoosh, and a figure, as swift as a falcon, rushed into the gazebo.Before the person arrives, the palm strikes first, and an extremely fierce splitting palm force sweeps towards Long Lingzhu standing at the entrance of the cave.
The person who suddenly attacked Long Lingzhu was none other than Wei Changqing, the deputy head of the Ouchi guards.He saw that Long Lingzhu was about to jump at the entrance of the cave, and he seemed to be bowing his head in meditation. He was afraid of missing a good opportunity, so he immediately came in to sneak attack.
Unexpectedly, Long Lingzhu was already on guard, and was trying to lure him out.
It turned out that although Long Lingzhu didn't know that there was a master like him ambushing, but from Min Chenglong's gestures and words, she also vaguely guessed that there must be a creek in it, so she deliberately pretended to be hesitant, stood at the entrance of the cave, and watched quietly. It changes.
Although the change came suddenly, it was within her expectation.As soon as she felt the breeze, she raised her backhand, and the three bone-penetrating nails that had been held in her palm were shot out with lightning.
With two ding-ding sounds, the two bone-penetrating nails were swept away by the palm wind, and the third bone-penetrating nail turned a corner and hit Wei Changqing's back shoulder.Wei Changqing has practiced the superior internal strength of the iron cloth shirt, but he also feels the burning pain.But the bone penetrating nail was still blown away by his internal force after all.
Although Wei Changqing was taken aback, but he let go of a stone in his heart, he thought to himself: "This little demon girl is indeed very good, but she is not as powerful as the rumors in the world. If I had known she was not as good as Me, I really don't need to go to such trouble."
It was too late to say, but soon, Long Lingzhu turned around, with a soft whip in his hand, and shouted: "What did you do to Yang Yan, if you don't hand him over, I will take your life!"
Wei Changqing laughed loudly and said, "Come with me, I don't want to take your life!" He jumped up, and with the move of "Eagle Striking the Sky", he grabbed it with both hands.
With a "click", Long Lingzhu's soft whip was pinched by his two fingers and broke off.His calf was also whipped. Although he was not injured, the pain was unbearable.
Wei Changqing yelled angrily: "I want to see how much you weigh, little demon girl!" He took out a pair of judge pens that he carried with him, and fought with Long Lingzhu.
Min Chenglong didn't expect such a result, he panicked in fright, and shouted: "Master Wei, you are pestering this little demon girl, I will call someone for you!" He wanted to avoid it for the time being.
It's a pity he was a step late.
Wei Changqing flew to chase Long Lingzhu, just passing by him.Shouted abruptly: "Min Chenglong, don't make trouble in front of me!" Huwei kicked Min Chenglong into the air.It turned out that although he didn't see clearly the gesture Min Chenglong made to Long Lingzhu just now, he had already seen through Min Chenglong's intentions.
Long Lingzhu doesn't like Min Chenglong, but at this moment, she can't bear to see him die for herself.
Almost at the same time as Wei Changqing flew, Long Lingzhu whipped backhand.
Originally her qinggong was slightly better than Wei Changqing, she had a chance to escape, but this time she turned around to block the enemy, but in turn blocked herself.
This time she used the trick of "twisting the roots of a dead tree". She originally wanted to wrap around his right foot, but ended up wrapping around his judge's pen.
Wei Changqing shouted: "Come back!" Long Lingzhu's strength was far inferior to his, so he took two steps closer to him. With a sound of "Bu", the silver thread soft whip suddenly stopped.
But fortunately, with her whip, Min Chenglong's life was saved.
The strength of Wei Changqing's kick with his right leg decreased a bit, and Min Chenglong was thrown up like a ball, and just fell into the hole. Turned over, but saved his life.
With a bang, the stone table returned to its original position, blocking the entrance of the cave.
Wei Changqing didn't care about Min Chenglong's life and death any more, so he withdrew his right hand judge pen, switched to splitting the air palm, and turned to the left hand judge pen to trap Long Lingzhu immediately.
His attainments in martial arts are not trivial, although he has only done a few moves, he already knows himself and the enemy.Changing tactics this time, holding the palm in the pen, is the best way to restrain Long Lingzhu.
The force of the palm spewed out in all directions, and the Dragon Lingzhu was like a light boat, swaying in the violent wind and waves. The judge pen in his left hand could find gaps, and the pen pointed to her vital acupuncture points.
Long Lingzhu drew his sword to fight, but without a soft whip to assist, he was even more unable to resist the enemy.
In the battle, Long Lingzhu made a dangerous move, flying forward, Wei Changqing was secretly happy, thinking: "If you don't fight so hard, maybe you can hold on for a little longer." , Wei Changqing caught the air, and the Dragon Lingzhu was thrown out by a foot.Her body shape changed from pounced forward to leaping backward, the transformation was quick, and the lightness kung fu and body skills were wonderful, which was beyond Wei Changqing's expectation.
However, it's a pity that she used this trick a little too late.
If she had used this trick earlier, she still had the strength to escape.Now, she is at the end of her strength, and her lightness kung fu is no match for Wei Changqing.
Wei Changqing shouted: "Little demon girl, do you still want to escape?" He flew after a rockery, after a few ups and downs, he was already behind Long Lingzhu.
Seeing that the Dragon Lingzhu was about to be caught.
At this moment, someone suddenly heard shouting: "Little demon girl, where are you going!"
Hearing this, Long Lingzhu was stunned.
What a surprise to her!You know who this person is, it's Yang Yan!
Of course, Long Lingzhu would never believe that Yang Yan would also be an enemy of her, but the words "little demon girl" were indeed cursed out of Yang Yan's mouth.Therefore, even though she absolutely believed in Yang Yan, she couldn't help being stunned.
It was too late to say, and soon Wei Changqing grabbed her.
Yang Yan quickly ran over and shouted: "Who are you, quickly give me this little witch!"
Wei Changqing said: "Why should I give it to you?"
Yang Yan said angrily: "I want to use her to save my father's life! You caught her at my father's house, she must be my father's friend. Please give her to me!"
Wei Changqing heaved a sigh of relief, and thought to himself: "It turns out that this kid has already fallen into the scheme of the chief manager. He must have just returned from my home, and his father was tortured with a python whip, and he also saw it." Wusutai Plan Using Yang Mu to threaten Yang Yan to hand over the "little demon girl", this strategy was originally thought up with Wei Changqing.
Wei Changqing laughed and said: "Nephew, you don't need to do it for me. I am Wei Changqing, the deputy head of the Ouchi guards. I will hand over this little demon girl to the head of the house!"
Yang Yan shook his head and said: "No matter who you are, this little demon girl must be sent by me to exchange with the chief manager, so I can rest assured!"
Wei Changqing said: "Nephew, I appreciate your filial kindness, but..." Before he could finish speaking, Yang Yan rushed towards him.
“废话少说，你不放人，我就和你拼命！”杨炎喝道。
卫长青喝道：“别乱来，你不要小妖女的性命么？”
杨炎喝道：“活的要不成，死的我也要！总管大人并没指定我非交出活的不可！”
龙灵珠乃是皇帝所要审问的钦犯，卫长青想立大功，当然是活的好。他倒是不能不有点害怕杨炎伤了这“小妖女”了。
卫长青喝道：“你别胡来！”一手抱着龙灵珠，单臂迎敌。
他的武功与杨炎在伯仲之间，此时他要“保护”龙灵珠，如何再是杨炎的对手。
龙灵珠叫道：“对，炎哥，我宁愿死在你的掌下，也不愿落在敌人手中。但求你父子团圆，我死也甘心了！”这几句话其实是她的气苦之言。
卫长青给杨炎攻得透不过气来，听得龙灵珠呼叫，忽地心中一动：“我且试他一试。”当下将龙灵珠当作盾牌，往前一挡。
不料杨炎真的一掌就打在龙灵珠身上。
卫长青虎口一震，心头也是一震，不由自己的把龙灵珠抛了出去。
杨炎哈哈笑道：“你中计啦！”一个转身，疾如鹰隼的追上龙灵珠，刚好将她接下，立即解开她的穴道。
龙灵珠毫发无伤，喜出望外的偎着杨炎说道：“炎哥，这手功夫你可得教我。”
原来杨炎用的是一门上乘武学，名为“隔物传功”。
隔物传功可以通过隔在中间的物体，把功力传到对手身上。这种功夫练到深时，即使隔着的是人体亦可无妨。因此杨炎那一掌虽然是打在龙灵珠身上，却等于是打着了卫长青。
要知处在刚才的形势，龙灵珠已是决计难以逃脱卫长青的魔掌，杨炎刚刚来到，和他们还有一段距离，要救也来不及。因此他只能将计就计，假装是要把龙灵珠拿去交换他的父亲甚至声言不惜取龙灵珠的性命了。
假如他不是这样说，卫长青一定会把龙灵珠当作人质来要胁他。他的“隔物传功”虽然可以不伤及龙灵珠，但却无法阻止卫长青取龙灵珠的性命。
卫长青不敢伤害龙灵珠，他才有机会施展隔物传功。
卫长青此时方始知道中计，气得七窍生烟，喝道：“小贼，我与你拼了！你想和小妖女逃跑，那是做梦！”
此时杨炎刚刚替龙灵珠解开穴道，龙灵珠的功力还是未曾恢复的。卫长青自忖足可与杨炎打成平手，在杨家附近，都是他的人，只要他发出讯号，定会有人来援。
那知他的援兵未到，杨炎的援兵先来。
齐世杰早已进了花园，此时方始现身。
卫长青正在向杨炎那边跑去，齐世杰倏的从花木丛中跃出，也是一声喝道：“你还想害人，那是做梦！”
卫长青大怒道：“何方小子，胆敢猖狂！”斜身上步，左掌横挡，右掌一挥，同时使出了大摔碑手和绵掌的功夫。大摔碑手用的力道极为刚猛，招数一发，掌风呼呼；绵掌用的却是一股阴柔的力道，无声无息。但内功更胜外功，他的绵掌已是练到击石成粉的境界，威力实是在大摔碑手之上。他同时使出两种不同的掌力，以绵掌为主，以大摔碑手为辅，武功见识稍差的人一定会受他迷惑，着重于抵御他右掌所发的大摔碑功夫，那就必将受到他的绵掌所伤，而且是严重内伤，又即使武学深湛之士，能够分清主次，要同时抵御他刚柔兼济的掌力，也是极难做到的事。
卫长青的心目只把杨炎当作劲敌，对齐世杰可不怎样放在心上。要不是为了急于追赶杨炎，他绝不会对一个“无名小卒”，一见面就使出杀手绝招。
不料这个“无名小卒”一出手就把他震慑了。
齐世杰小臂划了一道圆弧，双掌缓缓推出，看似轻描淡写，内力之强，竟是沛然莫之能御，而且招里藏招，式中套式，这掌势划成的弧形，竟然蕴藏着六种不同的变化！
双掌相交，声现郁雷。齐世杰只是身形一幌，卫长青却给他震得退了两步。而且齐世杰那一式变化，掌锋斜削而过，把他的衣襟也削去一幅。
卫长青认得他这一招是杨家六阳手，不禁大吃一惊，喝道：“杨大姑是你的什么人？”
齐世杰见他已然认出，也不瞒他，说道：“正是家母！”
卫长青更是吃惊，说道：“原来你这小子就是齐世杰！”心想：“原来他就是那个曾和尉迟炯打成平手的齐世杰，怪不得如此厉害。他的六阳手比杨牧高明得多，那是不必说了，以功力而论，似乎甚至比杨炎还胜几分。”其实齐世杰与杨炎的功力乃是在伯仲之间，只因卫长青与杨炎先斗了一场，以强弩之末来对新锐，自是觉得齐世杰更难对付。
齐世杰道：“不错，我就是齐世杰，怎么样？”
卫长青喝道：“杨牧是你的舅舅，你的舅舅被这小妖女连累，要是捉不到小妖女，你的舅舅就丧命，你到底是帮你的舅舅还是帮这小妖女？”
齐世杰冷笑道：“我不管你说的是真是假，我只知道我绝不会帮你这种鹰爪孙！”冷笑声中，又是一掌，这一掌使出了第八重的龙象功！
这一掌双方都是全力施为，登时见了高下。
只听得“蓬”的一声，卫长青退出了七八步，方始稳得住身形。齐世杰也觉胸中气血翻涌，运气三转方能呼吸如常。不过比较起来，还是卫长青吃的亏更大。
卫长青心头一凛，暗自想道：“齐世杰似乎比杨炎更强，单是一个杨炎，我都未必对付得了，岂能对付他们联手？再不走只怕要变成八十岁老娘倒绷孩儿了。”
他一声长啸，夺路便逃。
杨炎替龙灵珠推血过宫，此时龙灵珠已是血脉畅通，恢复了几分功力。
龙灵珠不忿刚才所受之辱，叫道：“炎哥，这鹰爪孙要逃，你替我出一口气！”
杨炎笑道：“好，我绊住他，你喜欢拿他怎样出气随你的便。”
声到人到，卫长青使出绵掌功夫，杨炎凌空抓下，用的是龙灵珠的爷爷传给他的龙爪手功夫。
这两样功夫都是武林绝学，两人功力本来亦是难分高下的，但卫长青由于刚刚硬接了齐世杰第八重的龙象功，这次三度交手，吃亏可更大了。
杨炎一抓之下，不但破解了他的绵掌，而且硬生生的将他拉了回来。杨炎的指头还没碰着他的身体，只是凌空一抓所发的无形气功，已是令他举步维艰。
卫长青心头一凉，又惊又怒，喝道：“小子，我与你拼了！”强弩之末，全力施为，居然也还能够勉强抵挡。但他连发三掌，却是仍然冲不出去。
龙灵珠拾起了银丝软鞭，跑上来冷笑道：“看你这厮还敢欺侮我么？”劈头照面，唰唰唰狠狠的抽了他三鞭。
但卫长青捱这三鞭，倒也值得，因为杨炎要让龙灵珠亲手报复，龙抓手只能网开一面，卫长青忍着疼痛，一个鹞子翻身，就冲了出去。
龙灵珠道：“炎哥，你还有未了的事么？”
杨炎心里一酸，道：“没有了。灵珠，我和你回去伴你爷爷吧，这个地方我是不会再来了。”
他们无意追赶卫长青，不过卫长青听到了背后的脚步声，却是给吓得魂飞魄散了。一面拼命奔逃，一面大呼小叫。杨家左邻右舍都是和杨牧差不多身分的人，有两个人出来了。一个是御林军的军官，名叫鲁弘，一个是大内侍卫，名叫周霸。他们见卫长青似是被人追赶，逃得如此狼狈，不禁都是一惊。
周霸是尉迟鞭的传人，天生神力，使的铁鞭有三十多斤，本来是个带兵的军官，曾经屡立军功，后来给皇帝看中，亲自挑选他做大内侍卫的。
由于他有这样辉煌的资历，一向甚为自负，除了佩服御林军的统领萨天横和大内总管乌苏台这两个人之外，其他同僚，他都不放在眼内。卫长青的武功其实高过他许多，但由于未曾经过较量，在他的心目之中，也只道是和自己差不多而已。
他一惊之后，定睛一瞧，见“追来”的两男一女，年纪都不过二十岁左右，登时起了轻敌之心，一声大喝，立即挥铁鞭，上去拦截。
齐世杰不想滥杀，喝道：“滚开！”周霸不知好歹，铁鞭已是当头扫出。齐世杰只使第六重的龙象功，肉掌击他铁鞭。
周霸虽然是天生神力，却怎挡得住他的龙象功，鞭掌相交，周霸虎口震裂，三十多斤重的铁鞭，脱手飞上半空。
鲁弘是练过内功的高手，为人却比较谨慎，连忙停止脚步。
杨炎不愿和他们纠缠，见他意似踌躇，陡地喝道：“你回去吧！”大喝声中，龙爪功亦已使出来了。不过他改抓为推，一股无形的劲力把鲁弘抛了起来，刚好跌落到自己的家门。
此时卫长青也刚好跑到鲁家的门口，他受了第八重龙象功的内伤，此时已是熬不住了，哇的一口鲜血喷了出来。鲁弘倒是没有受伤，一爬起来，连忙扶起卫长青跑回家里。
还有几户人家本来已经打开大门的，一见周霸和鲁弘吃了大亏，连忙又再关上大门。
杨炎哈哈大笑，说道：“对啦，你们最好做缩头乌龟。我是：人不犯我，我不犯人；人若犯我，我必犯人。”
笑声未已，忽听得有人喝道：“好狂的口气，叫你知道我的厉害！”一条人影，倏的出现在杨炎的面前，杨炎使出龙爪功，竟然拦阻不住，那人欺身直进，同样的也是凌空一抓。
杨炎身形一晃，还不怎样吃亏，在他身边的龙灵珠却是不禁脚步踉跄，斜跃数步，方能稳住身形。
此时杨炎方始看得清楚，来的这个人不是别个，原来正是大内总管乌苏台。
杨炎知道他是劲敌，冷笑说道：“好，这是你先犯我，我说过的话一定算数！”
说时迟，那时快，杨炎一声叱咤，已是拔剑出鞘，连人带剑，化作一道银虹，向着乌苏台疾刺。
乌苏台哼道：“不知死活的小子！”双掌齐出，左掌画圈，右掌五指弯曲如钩，竟来硬抢杨炎的宝剑。
小天星掌力使出大擒拿手的功夫，意欲生擒杨炎。他已经试出杨炎虽然不弱，功力仍是在他之下。这一招空手入白刃是他最得意的武功，自信已经到了炉火纯青境界，只道此招一出，纵然不能立即把杨炎生擒，最少也可以将他的兵刃夺出手去。
哪知并不如他想像的这样容易。
他本来已经算好了杨炎的各种后着，不论如何变化，他都可以得手的。不料杨炎的剑势中途一变，偏偏就是从他意想不到的方位刺来！
掌风剑影之中，只听“铮”的一声，随即人影翻腾，剑光流散，两个人倏的由合而分。杨炎虎口酸麻，乌苏台则感到头皮一片沁凉。
这危机瞬息之间，双方都使出了平生绝学。乌苏台应变得宜，以弹指神通的上乘内功，刚好弹中了杨炎的剑脊。但致命的一剑虽然给他弹开，剑气仍然削去了他头上一络头发。
如此结果，双方都是始料之所不及。
杨炎使出天山剑法的追风剑式，结果只能削掉对方几条头发，自己却连宝剑都几乎掌握不牢，不由得暗暗叫了一声惭愧！
乌苏台吃惊更甚，心里想道：“怪不得白驼山主对这小子也忌惮几分，这小子的武功比他父亲高明了不知多少倍！卫长青已经受了伤，我失了最得力的帮手，只怕是奈何不了这小子了。如今只能寄望于杨牧的苦肉计能否生效了。”他险些给削去了头皮。不但心中惭愧，颜面也觉无光。
他心念未已，齐世杰亦已冲了上来。
乌苏台喝道：“好呀，你这小子也敢来欺我！”双掌一交，乌苏台用个“卸”字诀，意欲借力打力，那知齐世杰第八重的龙象功实是非同小可，他只能化解齐世杰的一半掌力，借力打力那更是谈不到了。他给齐世杰这一半掌力冲得倒退两步，齐世杰身体失去平稳，也是不由自己的在原地打了几个盘旋，方才稳得住身形。
乌苏台趁他们未来得及反击之际，倒跃出数丈开外，喝道：“杨炎，你要不要你爹爹的性命？留下这小妖女与我，我可以放你走，你的爹爹我也不会将他为难！”
就在此时，只见有两名武士，押着杨牧，已是走出街头。
杨牧嘶声叫道：“炎儿，你救救我！炎儿，你救救我！”他衣裳破裂，背上现出一条条鞭打的血痕！
杨炎咬紧牙根，转过头去，不看父亲。
乌苏台冷笑道：“人非禽兽，杨炎，你连父亲都不要了么？”
杨炎怒火中烧，喝道：“你才是禽兽！”
乌苏台面色一沉，喝道：“打！”押解杨牧的一名武士，又狠狠的打了他几鞭，杨牧给打得像受伤的野兽的嚎叫：“炎儿，你忍心见爹爹受苦吗？炎儿，你救救我，你救救我！”
龙灵珠于心不忍，说道：“炎哥，都是我不好，累你的爹爹……”杨炎道：“不关你的事！”龙灵珠道：“咱们拼了一死救他吧！”
他们说话声音虽小，乌苏台已听见了，冷笑道：“想从我的手里抢人，别做你们的梦！你们敢动一动，我就杀了杨牧！不过，你们要我放人，那也不难，留下小妖女与我交换！”
龙灵珠道：“炎哥，你打算怎样？”
杨炎喝道：“乌苏台，你听着！我不会救人，只会杀人！你要打死你的手下，那是你的事。但倘若你这样做了，我一定杀你替他报仇！”
这番话他是说给乌苏台听的，也是说给杨牧听的。他已经不愿意叫杨牧做爹爹了，只用一个“他”字替代。但这番话说得沉痛之极，显然还有几分父子之情。杨牧心头一凉，暗自想道：“总算他还愿意替我报仇。只可惜他所说的报仇，和我所要的报仇，是两回事。”
杨炎说罢，立即拉着龙灵珠的手，咬着牙沉声只说了一个字：“走！”
他们曾练过一招名叫“比翼双飞”的轻功，两人手牵着手，合力施展，可以跳得更高，跑得更快。杨炎是由于顾虑龙灵珠的功力尚未完全恢复，故此要和她“比翼双飞”的。
他们跳上民居的屋顶，眨一眨眼，已是越过几重瓦面。齐世杰当然也是跟着他们走了。
乌苏台一来是轻功比不上他们，二来是没有得力的助手，孤掌难鸣，纵然能够追得上，亦是无济于事，只好眼睁睁的看着他们逃跑。
不知不觉，他们已是逃到没人的地方，天色尚未大亮。
龙灵珠松了口气，放缓脚步，笑靥如花的对杨炎说道：“炎哥，我真高兴，你对我这样好！”她心无渣滓，想到什么就说什么。
杨炎怔了一怔，说道：“我对你有什么好？你这样帮我的忙，我却几乎连累了你，我正自惭愧呢！”
龙灵珠道：“你不肯拿我去交换父亲，你说，我还能不感激你么？”
杨炎苦笑道：“请你别提今日之事了，是我对你不起，天下没有任何一件东西是值得令我将你拿去交换的。”他的悲痛还没过去，说着说着，不觉有点哽咽了。
龙灵珠说道：“你说得对，咱们都是苦命人，过去的苦痛也太多了。过去的就让他过去吧。”
杨炎心灰意冷，说道：“我答应过你的，不会更改，你答应过我的，也盼你守诺言。爷爷正等待咱们回去，咱们这就回去伴他老人家吧？”
龙灵珠笑道：“不是现在就要马上回去吧？”
杨炎道：“你还有什么事？”
龙灵珠道：“你不要去见见你的姑姑么？齐大哥恐怕也不能说走就走吧？”
杨炎瞿然一省，心想：“冷姊姊说过我的这个毛病始终未改，我总是想着自己的事情，想到别人的时候很少。”
齐世杰低声说道：“你要是不愿意见我的母亲，你和龙姑娘先走一步。”
龙灵珠笑道：“他愿不愿意回去震远镖局我不知道，我倒是想去镖局拜见伯母的。”
齐世杰是知道母亲和龙灵珠之间的过节的，听得她这样说倒是不禁一愕，说道：“龙姑娘，家母这几年的脾气不大好，你不记前嫌，愿去见她，我代家母多谢了。”
龙灵珠格格笑道：“你大概还没见着你的母亲吧？”
齐世杰道：“你怎么知道？”
龙灵珠道：“我是全靠你的母亲指点，才找得到炎哥的所在的。说老实话，以往我对你的母亲殊无好感，现在我才知道她并没有我想像的那样、那样不好。过去的误会，其实我也有不是之处的。”
杨炎道：“好，趁乌苏台未有空暇到镖局追查，咱们这就赶快去吧。刚才发生的事情，是也应该通知韩总镖头的。”
此时他稍稍冷静下来，才想起要问齐世杰：“听说你到过柴达木？你是不是从柴达木来的？”齐世杰道：“不错。”杨炎禁不住再问：“你见到了冷姊妹没有？”
齐世杰道：“见过了。”
前尘如梦，杨炎一片迷茫。他渴望知道更多有关冷冰儿的事情，却不知怎样把话头说下去。
眼光一瞥，发觉龙灵珠似乎也正在注视着他。杨炎脸上发热，心里叹了口气，继续问齐世杰道：“冷姊姊，她，她好吗？”
齐世杰淡淡说道：“好，很好！”
杨炎说道：“表哥，你应该留在柴达木陪她的，怎的你也跑来京师？”
齐世杰道：“我此来京师，正是为了她的缘故。”
杨炎怔了一怔道：“此话怎说？”
齐世杰道：“今日之事，早已在她意料之中，她非常担心你在京师受骗，可是她又不能前来京师。”
杨炎默然不语，龙灵珠噗嗤笑道：“傻大哥，你还不懂吗？齐大哥是替冷姊姊来照顾你的。”其实用不着龙灵珠画蛇添足，杨炎早已懂得。
不过，由于她这一“画蛇添足”，有一些话杨炎和齐世杰都是不方便说了。齐
