Chapter 4 The fourth episode of true love, false struggle for power, Li Daitao's stiff escape
I saw a rock protruding out of nowhere from the top of the mountain, and there was a flat ground below it, like an open lion's mouth.Qi Shijie was wondering, there is no building, where is the sub-helm of the beggar gang?While thinking about it, I heard Huangfusong let out a long whistle, and then said: "A guest from afar has arrived!"
While the howling sound was still circling from the valley, the huge rock suddenly opened a door close to the ground, and an old beggar came out.
Qi Shijie once heard Meng Yuanchao talk about the appearance of Zhi Jianfeng, the leader of the sub-rudder of the Northern Beggars' Clan, and at the first sight he knew that this old beggar was Zhi Jianfeng.
Seeing a stranger, Zhi Jianfeng waved his sleeves to prevent Qi Shijie from saluting him, and asked, "Where is the distinguished guest from?"
Suddenly someone shouted: "Junior Brother Qi, you are here!" It was Fan Kui who came out behind Zhi Jianfeng.Fang Liang and Xie Hong also appeared next.
Zhi Jianfeng laughed loudly: "It turns out that Shaoxia Qi, who is famous all over the world, is here recently. This is really a distinguished guest. Shaoxia Qi must be from Qaidam."
Huangfu Song said with a smile: "These two are young heroes who have done something recently and are famous all over the world, and they are also from Qaidam."
Xie Hong looked Yang Yan up and down, and suddenly said: "Aren't you the hero who rescued me from the Baoding government office that night? Gonggong, you really want to kill me!" So that night, Yang Yan robbed him from the prison and never spoke a word to him.
Yang Yan said with a smile: "You and my two senior brothers are of the same generation, how can you call me benefactor, won't the seniority be messed up?"
Fan Kui was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Are you Junior Brother Yang Yan?"
Yang Yan said: "Yes, I am Yang Yan. You don't need to be polite to me." Fan Kui was also rescued from Fang Hao's house that night. He was afraid that Fan Kui would be too polite, so he stopped him first.
Zhi Jianfeng was well-informed, he already knew about the incident in Qilian Mountain, he became more and more happy, he laughed and said: "Brother Yang, you defeated many famous people from various factions of good and evil in Qilian Mountain. Cursed. Hehe, regardless of whether you are good or evil, the old beggar admires you for daring to do such an earth-shattering thing. This must be Miss Long, right?"
Long Lingzhu thought in his heart: "This old beggar's temper is quite right for me." He was very happy, and then smiled and said: "Yes, I am the Long Lingzhu who was called a little demon girl by those people."
Zhi Jianfeng said: "Okay, okay, please come in and talk."
After sitting down, Qi Shijie explained his purpose.Xie Hong said: "Thank you for your concern. With the help of the rudder master, I have already purchased all the medicinal materials that the rebel army needs to prepare. It's just that they can't be shipped out."
Zhi Jianfeng said: "Eagle Claw already knew about the fact that the Rebel Army sent people to the capital to purchase medicinal materials. Fortunately, I used my personnel connections to buy them already. But it will be difficult to transport them to Qaidam thousands of miles away. .Recently, the investigation is intense. I heard that buying a few more packs of medicinal materials will also be interrogated. How can a large amount of medicinal materials avoid the eyes and ears of eagles? Even if they are transported out of the city, accidents will happen at any time on the road. "
Qi Shijie said: "Where are the medicinal materials hidden?"
Zhi Jianfeng said: "Fortunately, I have already been transported out of the capital, and now I am hiding in the secret magic cliff. However, the foot of the mountain is still the outskirts of Beijing, and there must be eagle claws patrolling it. There needs to be a bodyguard." Up to this point, he smiled unconsciously: "I am afraid that no one will dare to protect this bodyguard. Well, when I have to, I am the only one who will do it myself. However, it is a pity that I can't get out yet, I have to wait Master Sima Xiang is back."
Xie Hong said: "No, no! We dare not trouble the Beggars' Gang with this matter. Your Gang has already given us too much help, so we can only stop here."
Fang Liang was afraid that Yang Yan would not understand the reason, so he explained: "Although the beggar gang communicated secretly with the rebels, they did not openly oppose the Qing court. Although this matter is not a trivial matter, but for this matter, we have taken The whole gang of beggars is involved in the vortex, it is not worth the loss!"
Qi Shijie suddenly said: "How about letting me recommend myself to protect this bodyguard?"
Zhi Jianfeng said: "Brother, although your ability is high, but you alone..."
He pondered for a moment, Yang Yan understood that he didn't want to continue, but he didn't respond.
Zhi Jianfeng seemed a little disappointed, and said, "Let's talk about this matter slowly. By the way, speaking of bodyguards, I think of the Zhenyuan Security Bureau. Qi Shaoxia, I heard that Lingtang is now in the Zhenyuan Security Bureau?"
Qi Shijie said: "That's right. I've already met my mother. To be honest, we only thought of staying here for two days because it is inconvenient to live in the Escort Bureau."
Zhi Jianfeng said: "What happened to the Escort?"
Qi Shijie sighed and looked at Yang Yan.
Yang Yan said: "Just say it, I'm not afraid of my family's ugliness being exposed!"
Zhi Jianfeng understood as soon as he heard it, and said: "Young Xia Qi, you don't need to say anything, I think it's to make uncle feel awkward with Zhenyuan Escort."
Qi Shijie nodded, and said, "The day after tomorrow is the day when Mr. Han's bodyguard will close the door, so I have to wait for the day after tomorrow before I can do other things."
Zhi Jianfeng said: "I have already received an invitation from the old security guard Han, I can go with you the day after tomorrow."
Qi Shijie was overjoyed and said, "That's great."
Zhi Jianfeng suddenly turned to Long Lingzhu, and said: "Twenty years ago, there was a Zhan Daxia nicknamed Prince Yulong. I don't know if he has a relationship with the girl?"
Long Lingzhu was stunned for a moment, and thought: "How does he know my origin?" She didn't hide anything at the moment, and said: "It's my father. I have the same surname as my mother. But I don't know why the captain asked this question?"
Zhi Jianfeng said: "I met him once before my father was alive. I also know a little about the enmity between the White Camel Mountain Lord and him. Only recently did I know that what happened to the girl in Qilian Mountain was actually the White Camel Mountain Lord. behind the scenes."
Only then did Long Lingzhu know that he guessed his own life experience from this incident.Can't help asking: "Did my father tell you about the matter between my father and Baituo Mountain?" I thought: "My father's best friend Xiao Yike didn't know about it until later. The name of Zhijianfeng, her Parents never mentioned it before they were alive, it seems that even if they have a little friendship, they are not among friends, why did he know?" Zhi Jianfeng said: "No. I heard it from other places." Then asked: " It is not surprising that White Camel Mountain mainly hunts down girls. But there is another thing that confuses me. I heard that the disciples of the Tianshan School also participated in the hunt for girls. Why did the Tianshan School join forces with White Camel Mountain? ?”
Long Lingzhu said: "The Tianshan faction is in trouble with me, it's because of another matter, which has nothing to do with Baituo Mountain." She saw that Zhi Jianfeng didn't tell why he learned the secret, and she didn't want to have a close relationship with Zhi Jianfeng either. said.
At three o'clock that night, Yang Yan was still tossing and turning due to his preoccupation, and had not fallen asleep, when he suddenly heard a long howling, which seemed to be faintly coming from a distance.
Yang Yan was taken aback, and thought to himself: "This person's sound transmission skills are not weak!"
He put on his clothes and stood up, only to see that Zhi Jianfeng had already opened the secret door.
The whistling sound came from afar and spread into the grotto, the sound was just like the wind blowing the fallen leaves, Yang Yan could hear it because of his deep inner strength and his particularly sensitive hearing.Long Lingzhu didn't wake up.Qi Shijie just woke up.
Yang Yan whispered, "Master, I'll go out with you."
Zhi Jianfeng nodded, but said to Qi Shijie: "Young Xia Qi, please guard my hometown for me."
After leaving the Mimo Cliff, Zhi Jianfeng took a big stride. Although Yang Yan's lightness kung fu was not inferior to him, it took a lot of effort to keep up.Seeing that he can walk very fast without any vertical jump, and looks effortless, I secretly admire him.
Yang Yan caught up with him and asked, "Who is this enemy?"
Zhi Jianfeng said: "It's my own." Hearing this, Yang Yan was quite surprised.
Yang Yan asked: "Who is this person?" He wondered if this person was the same as me, he only knew that the sub-helm of the Beggar Clan was located in Xishan, but he didn't know it was in the secret magic cliff, so he used the whistle to announce.
Zhi Jianfeng said: "He is Sima Xuan, the leader of the incense gang." This answer was again beyond Yang Yan's expectation.
Why do you need to use howls to announce the return of the incense master of the gang?Zhi Jianfeng heard the whistle, so why did he look so nervous as if he was facing a formidable enemy?What's more, these days the wind has been raging and howling in the middle of the night, isn't it afraid that there will be eagle claws watching by, revealing the secret of the Beggar Clan's division?
Just as he was getting suspicious, he heard howling again, this time it was heard more clearly.
Zhi Jianfeng seemed taken aback, and said, "Not good!"
Yang Yan was puzzled and said, "What's wrong!"
Zhi Jianfeng said: "Sima Xuan met a strong enemy and was injured!"
Yang Yan couldn't help being taken aback, and said, "How do you know?"
Zhi Jianfeng said: "The first time he howled, I could already hear that he lacked energy, this time the howling is weaker, I'm afraid he was injured!"
Yang Yan couldn't hear anything unusual about the whistling sound, so he was dubious in his heart.He had learned the ability to distinguish the direction of the sound, and he could tell where the sound was coming from, even if it was less than a mile away.Zhi Jianfeng could actually hear the whistling sound coming from such a distance, and he also knew the extent of his injury, which is really inconceivable.
"Sima Xuan is as famous as Huangfusong, and they are already considered first-class masters in the martial arts. Unless Wu Sutai, Wei Changqing and others come, which one of the eagle claws can hurt him?" Yang Yan thought to himself.As for Wutai and Wei Changqing, who are the principal and deputy chief executives of Da Nei, and are currently busy with the capital, of course they will not come to Xishan in the middle of the night.
Zhi Jianfeng had no time to talk to Yang Yan, so he quickened his pace and followed the sound to find the trace.Sure enough, after running for a while, they heard the sound of yelling, and it could be heard that two people were fighting.
The distance was already within half a mile, and Zhi Jianfeng suddenly let out a long howl!Yang Yan thought to himself: "Master Zhi's whistling skill is profound, isn't he afraid of scaring away the enemy?" According to his thinking, he should come out of nowhere and capture the enemy alive.
Before thinking about it, I saw a black shadow appearing on the hillside over there, fleeing down the hill.
At the same time, another person was heard shouting: "Clan leader, ignore me, capture the enemy first!" His voice was hoarse, and Yang Yan could tell that this person was seriously injured.At this time, Fang Shi suddenly realized that Zhi Jianfeng's howling sound was intended to scare away the enemy.The reason is of course because he already knew that Sima Xuan was seriously injured, and he was afraid that it would be too late to rescue him.
It was too late, but soon, Zhi Jianfeng had already met that person.
Zhi Jianfeng shouted, "Where is Eagle Claw Sun going!" A slap on the iron pipa slapped the man's face as quickly as lightning.
The man Huo nodded, but dodged away, but his face felt a little hot from the palm wind.The man shouted angrily: "Old beggar, do you dare to believe that it is Zhi Jianfeng?" Zhi Jianfeng said in a deep voice: "So what?" Then he slapped the second palm.
The man sneered and said: "Okay, then I'll see how much skill you have, if you have the guts to fight with me!" As he spoke, his figure walked away, and he had entered the empty door on the left wing of Zhijian Peak to fight back.
Zhi Jianfeng turned his palm along with him, as if the opponent's counterattack had already been expected by him, the palm quickly moved to the empty door, just in time to meet him.
The man draws an arc with his right palm, lightly stretches the area, and his left fist protrudes, turning into a time-bottomed hammer.The left is firm and the right is soft, the coordination is just right, and when there is no time to spare, Zhi Jianfeng's offensive is resolved.
The palm wind stirred, and Zhi Jianfeng suddenly felt a ray of sweet fragrance, which entered his nostrils.Even with his profound skills, at this moment, he also felt a little lazy.Zhi Jianfeng's heart trembled, and he shouted: "So you are a demon from White Camel Mountain!" With a wave of the back of his hand, he used eighty-nine percent of his true strength in this iron pipa hand!
The two palms intersected, and there was only a sound of "Peng", and the man retreated six or seven steps in succession.
But Zhi Jianfeng did not pursue the victory, he snorted and shouted: "Remember this account for now, and I will settle it with you later!"
It turned out that he had tried three tricks with that man.I thought to myself that if I only rely on my own skills and fight alone, I am afraid that I have to use a hundred moves to win, but that man obviously has a poisonous palm. After a long battle, Zhi Jianfeng must use his skills to resist poison at the same time, then I am afraid that three hundred moves may not be able to defeat the opponent.At first he underestimated the enemy, he thought that this man had already fought Sima Xuan and he could capture him alive with a single strike, but now he realized that his estimation was completely wrong, of course the most important thing was to save his friend, he dared not delay.
After learning the three tricks, the man was a little apprehensive, he laughed and said, "Zhi Jianfeng, do you only dare to fight me with three tricks? Well, then follow the path you drew, and the remaining two One hundred and ninety-six tricks, I will ask you again in the future!" Throwing down a few superficial words, he walked away.
Yang Yan shouted: "I will fight with you two hundred and ninety-seven moves!" The man only felt the breeze, and Yang Yan had stopped in front of him.
The man was taken aback: "This young man is so fast!" But seeing Yang Yan is so young, he didn't take it too seriously.
"You baby is coming to die, I'll make it happen for you!" The man made a move with both fists and palms, which was exactly the move he used to attack Zhi Jianfeng just now.
Yang Yan circled with both palms, the circle changed from big to small, and the power of counterattack became stronger and stronger.
The man used this move just now, and he could almost draw with Zhi Jianfeng. Seeing that Yang Yan is so young, he only thought that if he used this move, he would be able to catch him easily, but he didn't know that the result was beyond his expectation.
It turned out that Yang Yan's move was to transform the Great Sumeru Sword Style from the Tianshan Sword Art into the palm technique. The Great Sumeru Sword Style is infinitely mysterious, the stronger the enemy is, the better it is for self-defense.That man's skill is obviously higher than Yang Yan's, but for some reason, he still can't break into Yang Yan's defense circle.
The man failed to attack by force, so he changed his move quickly, stretched out his left hand, five fingers like a hook, and made a move of "Swiveling in the Sky and Exploring Claws", grabbing the pipa bone on Yang Yan's shoulder.At the same time, the right palm increased the pressure, intending to force Yang Yan to focus on one thing and lose another.
Yang Yan laughed, and shouted: "Okay, let's see the truth!" The one who painted the gourd also grabbed it with one claw, but his move was the "Dragon Claw Hand" taught by Long Zeling, which was better than that man's. "Swiveling in the air and probing the claws" is much more powerful.As soon as the man felt the strong wind blowing, he knew something was wrong, he hastily turned his grasp into a palm, and confronted Yang Yan head-on.Yang Yan took two steps forward, and he couldn't help but retreat two steps.From the surface, it seems that Yang Yan took advantage of it a little.But to be honest, Yang Yan's move had already gained the advantage of overpowering the enemy, but in the end it was still a tie. In terms of skill, he was still inferior to the opponent.
But this man was quite surprised.The surprise was not only because Yang Yan's skill was higher than he estimated, but also for two other reasons: first, he was originally a great expert in martial arts, but Yang Yan couldn't see the way when he used these two moves. ;Secondly, what surprised him the most was that his palm was originally coated with a kind of drug that can soften the bones and bones, although this drug is not as effective as it is not swallowed directly.But when he uses the palm of his hand to release the power of the medicine, if the opponent absorbs too much, the resistance will also disappear.Now that Yang Yan has tried two tricks with him, it doesn't seem to be affected at all.And the second move was a reckless fight with him, showing stronger skills than the first move.How could this guy not be surprised.
Yang Yan stepped back and shouted: "It's not rude to come and go, you also take my trick." He drew a big circle with his palms, and there were many small circles in the big circle, and there were circles in the circle. It made the man dazzled.All of a sudden, he felt as if he was in a vortex, and all directions were under the palm force of the opponent's oscillating vortex.
But this man recognized this move, he was startled, and shouted: "Is Xiao Yike your master?" It turned out that this move Yang Yan used was Xiao Yike's new "sweeping palm method".And this guy is Yu Wenlei who fought against Xiao Yike on Qilian Mountain last year, but Yu Wenlei doesn't know him.
Yang Yan said: "Senior Xiao refuses to be my master, there are conditions for him to teach me this set of palm techniques, do you want to know?"
Yu Wenlei snorted and said, "What conditions?"
Yang Yan said with a smile: "You used tricks to hurt him that day, so he asked me to kill you with the kung fu he taught!"
Yu Wenlei said: "Hmph, you can kill me!" Although he said this, the soles of his feet were oiled, and he turned and ran away.
Yang Yan shouted: "You said I couldn't kill you, why didn't you dare to fight again?"
Yu Wenlei ran fast, and the voice came from a hundred steps away: "You are a junior, I don't bother to fight with you. You go back and tell Xiao Yike that he wants revenge, and he can come to White Camel Mountain to find me at any time!"
Of course, this is just a cover-up talk, knowing that Yang Yan couldn't be helped by his poisonous palm, he felt a little timid in his heart. With real martial arts, he thought to himself that he was not sure of winning. Zhi Jianfeng at this time Sima Xuan was treating Sima Xuan who was injured by him. If Zhi Jianfeng would be able to free his hand after a long time, he would be unable to run even if he wanted to. How could he dare to fight?
Yang Yan laughed and said: "It turns out that you only have the ability to fight with me, but you dare to say such big words! The thickest-skinned person in the world is probably none other than you!"
He teased Yu Wenlei to save face for Zhi Jianfeng, so he stopped chasing Yu Wenlei.
At this time, Zhi Jianfeng had already healed Sima Xuan's wound, but Sima Xuan was still in a daze, and suddenly started dancing.
"The rudder master, the rudder master, please ignore me. Oh, I'm so uncomfortable. No, no, I'm so comfortable. Floating, floating, floating, the white clouds in the sky are floating, I seem to be floating in the clouds..." The first two sentences Sima Xuan said were reasonable, but the more he said, the more inexplicable he seemed to be suffering from madness.
Zhi Jianfeng was helpless, and said: "Brother Yang, thanks to you for driving away the monster from Baituo Mountain for me. But I don't know which kind of poisonous palm this monster is practicing. Brother, you don't seem to be afraid of him when you fight against him." His poisonous palm?" It turns out that Zhi Jianfeng's skill is profound, even though he is treating Sima Xuan's wounds, he can still see all directions and hear all directions.
He guessed right, Yang Yan really said: "Don't worry, Rudder Master, I have the antidote."
Zhi Jianfeng was both surprised and happy, and said: "Brother, your supernatural powers are really not small, how did the unique antidote of White Camel Mountain come into your hands?"
Yang Yan said: "Baituoshan has a secret pill called Shenxian Pill, which is as powerful as opium and can cause pain. Yunzhong Shuangsha is the person who sells Shenxian Pill for Baituoshan. Shuangsha Ma Ben, the boss among them, was once subdued by me, and I obtained this antidote from Ma Ben." While speaking, he gave Sima Xuan an antidote.
The antidote really worked, but after a while, Sima Xuan came to his senses.
Sima Xuan heaved a sigh of relief, and said: "What a powerful demon, the helmsman, thank you for arriving in time and saving my life."
Zhi Jianfeng said: "It was Yang Shaoxia who saved your life." Sima Xuan hurriedly thanked Yang Yan.Yang Yan stopped him from saluting, and said: "We are all from our own family, thank you for what." Sima Xuan said: "This Yang Shaoxia is..." Zhi Jianfeng said: "This time I didn't have time to go to Qaidam. , I feel sorry for myself. Unexpectedly, the envoy from Qaidam has come to us first. I have been away for several months, has anything happened at home?"
Yang Yan replied that he was "one of his own people" because he didn't want to accept his big gift, and he couldn't think of a better wording in a hurry, so he said it casually.He was a guest in the Beggars' Gang and accompanied Zhi Jianfeng out, so it was reasonable to call him "one of our own".Unexpectedly, Sima Xuan misunderstood him as the envoy of the Qaidam Rebel Army.But if you want to explain clearly, you have to say a few words, and it seems that there is no need for it, so Yang Yan had to let him misunderstand.
Zhi Jianfeng said: "In the past few months, nothing major has happened. But now we have encountered a difficult matter, which is related to the Qaidam rebel army. Several friends from the rebel army are here. Now It's a long story, after you get home and meet those friends, let's talk slowly."
Sima Xuan regards Yang Yan as "one of his own", so there is no need to avoid talking. He first reported the process of encountering the enemy: "This subordinate is incompetent. I am ashamed to say that I only found out after being followed by the monster to the top of the mountain, but his origin is The subordinates are still unknown."
Zhi Jianfeng said: "His poisonous palm is coated with the medicinal liquid of Shenxian Pill."
Sima Xuan said: "Oh, so it's the demon from White Camel Mountain."
Zhi Jianfeng said: "That's right, but I don't know what his identity is in White Camel Mountain."
Yang Yan said: "I have fought against this person once. It is Yu Wenlei, the nephew of the Lord of White Camel Mountain!"
Sima Xuan was taken aback, and said: "This monster doesn't use poisonous palms, and his martial arts are not inferior to mine. I didn't expect that the nephew of the white camel mountain master's nephew is so powerful. No wonder Dan Qiusheng wants to join us to deal with the white camel mountain master. gone."
Dan Qiusheng is Meng Hua's master, Yang Yan heard him mention Dan Qiusheng, but he didn't feel particularly careful.
Sima Xuan seemed to have noticed his attention, and said: "Brother Yang, you are one of your own, so it's okay for me to tell you. I was ordered by the captain, and this time I was at Dan Qiusheng's request to discuss with him how to deal with Bai. In Tuoshan, Dan Qiusheng has discovered the secret of poisoning chivalrous figures with Shenxian Pills. The most powerful thing is that the poisoned people become addicted to taking it, and their minds are controlled by him. Several disciples of the Kongtong Sect have been discovered It is controlled by the monster of White Camel Mountain."
Yang Yan already knew about this, and thought to himself: "The Brothers of the Lao family have colluded with Baituoshan, they thought they could hide it from the head of the family, Dan Qiusheng, but it turned out that Dan Qiusheng had already discovered it."
Sima Xuan continued: "This time I unexpectedly met a famous person in Kongtong Mountain."
Zhi Jianfeng said: "Who is this celebrity?"
Sima Xuan said: "Dan Qiusheng's disciple Meng Hua." You must know that although Meng Hua is Dan Qiusheng's disciple, his other identity is also a registered disciple of the Tianshan School. few.And in recent years, he has made great achievements in the arena, and some people even think that he is the "first sword in the martial arts" after Jin Zhuliu.Therefore, even though he is Dan Qiusheng's disciple, his reputation is so great that he is no less than a teacher.
Zhi Jianfeng said: "It's not unusual for Meng Hua to return to Kongtong Mountain to greet Master."
Sima Xuan said: "No, he came to report to the head of the Kongtong Sect as a registered disciple of the Tianshan Sect because of a strange incident of the Tianshan Sect."
Yang Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he already knew that it must be about himself.
Sure enough, Sima Xuan continued: "According to Meng Hua, they sent a rebel from Tianshan, named Yang Yan. Twenty years old, yet he has such courage and ability to hurt an elder of our sect. The Tianshan faction has decided to expel him from the sect, so we must notify the heads of all sects, and don't recognize him as Tianshan in the future. Send disciples. Meng Hua originally wanted to inform the gang, but when he saw me, he asked me to pass it on."
Yang Yan asked: "Does the Tianshan sect want the heads of each sect to help them catch the rebels?"
Sima Xuandao: "That's not true. The Tianshan faction is full of masters. They don't need others to clean up the sect. The Tianshan faction is just afraid that this traitor will tarnish their Tianshan faction's reputation, so they send a notice to the heads of each faction according to the usual practice. That's all."
Shi Tianxing will not let him go, this is already expected by Yang Yan.But now the head of the Tianshan School has listened to Shi Tianxing's one-sided words, and has solemnly notified the other schools.Yang Yan didn't care about being a disciple of Tianshan School, but when he heard about it, his excitement was still indescribable.
Sima Xuan said again: "Meng Hua didn't explain the identity of this traitor, but later I learned from Dan Qiusheng that this traitor from the Tianshan School named Yang Yan was actually Meng Hua's half-brother. Isn't this a bit unexpected. Meng Huaxia is famous all over the world, but his younger brother..."
Zhi Jianfeng coughed again and again, this time Sima Xuan felt it.
Sima Xuan came to his senses suddenly, quickly changed the subject, and said, "That's right, brother Yang, I haven't asked you for your name yet." He thought: Could it be such a coincidence?
Yang Yan bit his lip and said slowly: "I am the traitor Yang Yan who was expelled from the gate by the Tianshan faction! I should have told you a long time ago: you treat me as your own, you are wrong!"
Sima Xuan was extremely embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "Brother Yang, I really don't know..."
Yang Yan said: "It's not too late for you to know now, so leave!"
Zhi Jianfeng laughed loudly, pulled Yang Yan, and said, "Brother Yang, the Tianshan faction is the Tianshan faction, and the beggar gang is the beggar gang! You violated the Tianshan sect's rules. What is the reason behind it? I am inconvenient." Ask, and don’t want to intervene. But for our beggar gang, you are the benefactor who saved our brother. Yang Shaoxia, if you don’t look down on me, then we are still our own people!”
Sima Xuan then said: "Brother Yang, don't misunderstand me. I just blamed myself for being reckless. I didn't know that Yang Yan was you. I just paraphrased someone else's words. If there is something that offends you, don't be offended. You He is my savior, and I will not believe the one-sided words of the Tianshan sect."
Yang Yan said: "The people from the Tianshan faction are not wrong, I have indeed committed the crime they said!"
Sima Xuan patted his chest, and said: "Brother Yang, even if you really did something wrong, you are still my savior. A man has clear grievances and grievances. If you are useful to me, I will go through fire and water. I just ask you Don't see outside!"
Zhi Jianfeng said: "Brother Yang, with such an open mind like yours, I don't believe in the crimes that the Tianshan faction imposed on you. I think you have something to hide, so you don't want to argue!"
They spoke very sincerely, Yang Yan sighed and said: "Okay, thank you for trusting me! There is no need to mention this matter!"
Zhi Jianfeng only said that he had given up on leaving, and originally wanted to persuade him not to leave, thinking that since he didn't want to mention it again, there was no need to mention it.
Back at the Mimo Cliff, Qi Shijie, Long Lingzhu, Huangfusong and the others had already woken up and knew that something had happened outside.They were anxiously waiting for Zhi Jianfeng to come back.
Seeing them coming back, Huangfusong and Long Lingzhu were startled, one asked Sima Xuan and the other asked Yang Yan, "What's the matter, are you injured?" Huangfusong is a great expert in martial arts, he Seeing the fact that Sima Xuan was injured, Long Lingzhu saw Yang Yan's haggard face, his expression was very different from usual, and misunderstood that he was injured.
Yang Yan said: "I'm not injured." He simply answered four words.Sima Xuan smiled and said, "I owe it to Brother Yang, otherwise I would not have survived. Now this little injury is nothing."
Only then did Sima Xuan tell everyone what happened.
Long Lingzhu said bitterly: "It's Yu Wenlei again!"
She was almost captured by Yu Wenlei on Qilian Mountain. Qi Shijie knew about it.Qi Shijie said: "Although Yu Wenlei is not weak, Yang Yan and I believe we can still deal with him. Don't worry, Miss Long, if we meet him again, we will definitely help you out."
Huangfusong said: "Master Rudder, Yu Wenlei has discovered our tracks, do you want to make preparations?"
Zhi Jianfeng said: "The batch of medicinal materials are hidden in the grottoes of the back cave, and it is difficult to move them in a hurry, so we have to take a gamble. Even if they search here, the grottoes of the back cave will not be easy to find. However, There are a few people who had better leave the Mysterious Demon Cliff first."
He thought for a while, then continued: "The Beggar Gang didn't openly oppose the Qing court. What I'm afraid of now is to find the medicinal materials and their so-called imperial criminals for the Eagle Claw. How about this? You can reconcile Hong, Fang Liang, and Fan Kui tomorrow." Hide in Pingpo Mountain. I will send another person to inform the brothers of the gang not to come to the sub-helm for the next two days."
Things happened in a hurry, so it could only be arranged like this.
That night, Yang Yan's heart was in such a mess, he tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
You must know that he is an extremely excitable person. After learning that the Tianshan faction had officially announced the expulsion of him from the gate wall, the waves in his heart were naturally hard to calm down. As expected.
He didn't worry about himself either. He had such a personality. He was willing to bear the burden of things that had already been done and the sky fell.
But he couldn't help worrying about his sister Leng.
Leng Bing'er was rushing back to Tianshan to defend him because of his affairs.
He could imagine that Shi Tianxing and others must force her to speak ill of him, and even force her to admit that she was insulted by him.Now Leng Bing'er is defending him instead, the result is conceivable, even if she is not charged with the same crime, she will be implicated by him, and may even be greatly humiliated!
Leng Bing'er is his "relative" who he loves and respects, and thinking of the humiliation she may suffer, he can't help but feel excited!
He didn't close his eyes that night. Early in the morning, he got up and pulled the Dragon Lingzhu outside.
Long Lingzhu walked with him to the deserted place in the back mountain, saw that he had not spoken, seemed to be preoccupied, and said with a smile: "You dragged me out early in the morning, do you have something you can only talk to me about?"
Yang Yan said: "Yes, I ask you two things."
Long Lingzhu smiled and said, "Why are you so polite all of a sudden? Tell me."
Yang Yan said: "The first thing, I beg you to go back and accompany your grandfather. Go back after the closed-door and knife-sealed ceremony of the old security guard Han."
Long Lingzhu was startled and said: "Didn't I promise you this matter long ago?"
Yang Yan said: "No matter what, you can't change your mind!"
Long Lingzhu imitated his tone and demeanor, raised his eyes, and said loudly: "If a gentleman says something, he will whip the horse quickly. Although I am not a gentleman, I will never change what I say."
Yang Yan said: "Okay, then forgive me for not going back with you. Your grandfather lived in the Vulture Peak in Darjeeling. The peak is shaped like a giant eagle ready to fly, so it is easy to recognize. You will find it."
Long Lingzhu was taken aback and said, "Why don't you go back with me?"
Yang Yan said: "I have one thing to do, and I will go back after finishing this matter."
Long Lingzhu said: "What is it?" Yang Yan said: "Forgive me for not being able to tell you yet."
Long Lingzhu pursed her lips and said, "If you don't tell me, I won't go back."
Yang Yan said: "Hey, if you say something from a gentleman, you will be whipped! You just said it!"
Long Lingzhu sighed: "I have fallen into your trap. But I just want you to tell me, is it a big risk to do this? You must tell the truth!"
Yang Yan smiled bitterly: "I don't know. But please believe me, as long as I live in this world, I will definitely go to Vulture Peak to be with you, and we will never be apart!"
Long Lingzhu felt sweet and bitter in her heart, and sighed: "Actually, I don't need to ask you. If this matter wasn't dangerous, you wouldn't refuse me to walk with you. I know you are afraid of hurting me."
Yang Yan said: "Second thing, please apologize to the rudder master on my behalf, and ask him to forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye. If you see my aunt the day after tomorrow, please also apologize to her on my behalf."
Long Lingzhu grasped the topic and said: "That's right, the day after tomorrow is the day when Old Escort Han shuts his doors and seals his knives. This matter has a lot to do with your aunt. Don't you care about your aunt? Why don't you wait You will only leave when she can leave the capital safely?"
Yang Yan was in a turbulent mood. Although he tried his best to suppress it, the pain in his heart still showed on his face. "With Han Weiwu, Zhi Jianfeng, and Cousin Shijie helping her, what's the point of missing me? Sigh, if my aunt is really in danger, I won't be able to help her by her side. Others don't know my difficulties, don't you?" Don't know?"
Long Lingzhu remained silent, she already understood what Yang Yan was thinking.
You must know that the person who wants to seize the power of the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau is none other than Yang Yan's father. Aunt Yang came to help the old Escort Head Han this time, which means she was secretly against her younger brother.Yes, the dispute at the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau was just the cause, and something more important was involved behind it—in the confrontation between the Qaidam Rebel Army and the Qing court, Yang Mu was just a tool of the chief executive.But the person who came forward was always Yang Yan's father, Yang Mu.
Although Yang Yan's martial arts are superb, he is not yet a man of great wisdom and courage, and he cannot withstand the blow of this kind of emotional storm.He wanted to escape, to avoid seeing his father again, and to avoid being involved in the vortex of conflict between his aunt and father.
Long Lingzhu sighed secretly, and thought: "Brother Yan, I only know that you are much stronger than me, who knows that you are also weaker, and now you are going to be a deserter!" Unfortunately, she was afraid of hurting Yang Yan's self-esteem, He dared not speak out to Yang Yan what was on his mind.If she dared to speak out, Yang Yan might change her mind after being greatly stimulated.
Yang Yan continued emotionally, "I originally thought about helping Xie Hong to send the batch of medicinal materials to Qaidam, alas, but now I can only give up this idea. Friends leave without saying goodbye.”
Long Lingzhu said: "Why do you want to give up this idea?"
Yang Yan sighed: "Qi Shijie can do the escorting of medicinal materials, and others can do it too. I can't be replaced by anyone else!"
Long Lingzhu said: "I know what you are going to do, you have to think twice, you..."
Yang Yan suddenly tapped her acupoints, and then let out a long cry, and said, "I don't care if you guessed right or not, you promised me that you must go back to accompany your grandfather, and I won't allow you to come to me!"
He was afraid that after Long Lingzhu tapped the acupoints, he might encounter enemies, so he summoned the people in the secret magic cliff with a long cry.
When Zhi Jianfeng and Qi Shijie arrived, Yang Yan had already left without a trace.Qi Shijie was shocked vigorously, he unlocked the acupuncture point of Long Lingzhu, and asked, "What's going on here?"
While talking, Huangfusong and Sima Xuan also arrived.司马玄心中明白，顿足叹道：“都是我不好！”
齐世杰连忙将他拉过一旁，悄悄问道：“昨晚你和他说了什么？”
司马玄道：“我不知他是杨炎，我把天山派将他逐出门墙之事告诉他了。”
齐世杰吃了一惊，道：“怪不得他要走了。以他的性格，是绝不能让人代他受过的！”
司马玄不明白他的意思，问道：“谁要代他受过？”
齐世杰叹了口气道：“是一个和他最要好的朋友，也是最爱护他的人。”司马玄仍然不懂，但已是不便再问下去。
“齐少侠，依你看，他是去哪？”司马玄道。
齐世杰叹了口气，说道：“我猜他多半是回天山去！”
这次是司马玄大惊了：“那不是自投罗网吗？”
齐世杰小声道：“别让龙姑娘听见。待这儿的事情了结，我再去找孟大侠和尉迟大侠想办法吧。”
龙灵珠假装闭目疗伤，对他们的说话也没有全部听见，但已经听见一些。
其实即使完全没有听见，齐世杰猜想到的，她亦已想得到了。
冷冰儿愿意代他受过，难道我反而可以置身事外？龙灵珠不由得心乱如麻了。
但她已经答应了杨炎，最少也得过了后天，待得知姑姑的确实消息之后才能离开京师。不过她已打定了主意，暂时不去灵鹫峰陪她的外祖父了。
韩威武闭门封刀的仪式如期举行。
京师各个镖行的镖师，武术界的朋友，甚至外地的成名人物也有许多来了。
支剑峰也以丐帮北京分舵舵主的身分，在这个盛会中公然露面。
齐世杰与龙灵珠则改容易貌，当作是支剑峰的朋友，和他一起进入镖局。
支剑峰是贵宾身分，和主人同坐一席，齐龙二人则混在人丛之中。
杨大姑没有露面，杨牧也未见来。
韩威武举行了金盆洗手的仪式，跟着就要宣布继任的总镖头人选了。
就在此时，知客报道：“卫大人和杨大人到！”
卫长青挽着杨牧的手，一同进门，跟在他们后面的还有一个人，这人韩威武却不认识。
但这个人却一点也不客气，也用不着韩威武招呼他，就跟着卫杨二人坐在贵宾席上。
支剑峰见了这个人，却是不禁面色一变了。
原来这个人不是别个，正是前天晚上和他交过手的那个宇文雷。
韩威武见这个陌生客人毫不客气，不禁有点纳罕，便朝他拱了拱手，道：“这位朋友是……”
卫长青代答道：“他是我和杨大人的好朋友，复姓宇文，单名一个雷字。”
韩威武见闻广博，白驼山山主复姓宇文，他是知道的。但宇文雷的名字，他却没有听说过，一时之间也未联想到这个复姓宇文的陌生客人可能就是白驼山的人。他必须给卫长青面子，便循例客套一番，对宇文雷说了一声：“久仰。”接着把支剑峰介绍给他认识：“这位是北京丐帮的支舵主。”宇文雷也学他的模样，对支剑峰拱了拱手，冷冷淡淡的说了一声：“久仰。”装作从前并不相识。支剑峰当然不愿惹事，乐得心照不宣，彼此都不揭穿了。
寒喧已毕，韩威武说道：“杨大人，令徒怎样不来？”
杨牧说道：“说来真是不幸，小徒成龙患了重病，他是木能来了。”
韩威武心头一松，知道齐世杰说的不假，闵成龙果然是给“自己人”打得重伤了。假意惋惜，说道：“令徒本来是我们镖局的旧人，他不能来，真是遗憾。杨大人近来安好？”
杨牧苦笑说道：“我上了年纪，近来也患了风湿，有点不良于行。”其实他是给蟒鞭打伤，只能用患风湿来作为掩饰的。
韩威武暗暗好笑，却一本正经的道：“杨大人，你是镖局的股东，难得你扶病前来，咱们就先谈正事如何？”
杨牧道：“我也是为了镖局的事来的，请你说吧。”
韩威武道：“我年纪老迈，今日决定金盆洗手，从此闭门封刀。镖局的总镖头一职，记得杨大人以前曾经说过，好像是有意思叫令徒闵成龙继任，但闵兄不幸患了重病，不知他什么时候复原，这个、这个……”
杨牧说道：“总镖头的职务是不能虚悬太久的，闵成龙纵然病好恐怕也难胜任，不必考虑他了。”
韩威武暗暗欢喜，只道他已经知难而退，便道：“杨大人，本来你若是肯回到镖局做总镖头，那是最好不过。只不过大人你是皇上身边的人，我们纵有此心，也不敢以区区总镖头一职，委屈大人。”
杨牧说道：“我当然不会回来做镖头，再说我这点本领也不配做京师第一大镖局的总镖头。”
若然单纯只论本人的武功以及在武林中的地位，杨牧身为杨家六阳手的嫡系传人，他的武功比起韩威武虽略有不如，做震远镖局的总镖头还是够资格的。他说的这两句话，不但是“虚伪的客气”，而且是自相矛盾。要知他曾有意扶植他的徒弟闵成龙接任总镖头，岂有徒弟做得，师父反而做不得之理？因此众人一听，就知他说的是赌气话。但是想道：“他的徒弟做不成总镖头，他自己可舍不得不做大内侍卫来做总镖头，眼看这间京师第一大镖局仍是落在韩威武这一派人的手上，难怪他心里不舒服了。”
韩威武但求他不来生事，自是不会挑剔他话中的毛病，抓住他的话柄，便即陪笑说道：“杨大人说笑了。大人是不屑屈就，我们也不敢强人所难。不过，继任人选如何定，还请大人出个主意。”
杨牧说道：“我是不在其位不谋其政。不过震远镖局也和我总算有一段渊源，趁韩老镖头今日闭门封刀，我也要来办点交代，这才来的，继任的总镖头怎样选出来，我不便插口，只能听韩老镖头主意。”
韩威武觉得他说的这番话有点古怪，但仍然当作他说的是负气话。便道：“杨大人客气了。不过杨大人既然不想保荐继任人选，就按镖行的老规矩如何？”
杨牧说道：“各行各业，都有它的规矩，按规矩办事，正是理该如此。好、好，好得很呀！”
韩威武想不到他竟然毫无异议，一口应承，大喜说道：“那我就说一说镖行的规矩吧，要是股东没有异议，老镖头退休，十九是在镖局旧人之中选一位武功最佳和声望最高的人继位。”
卫长青说道：“我是外人，但请恕我插嘴，多问一句，所谓镖局旧人，股东包不包括在内？”
韩威武道：“当然包括在内，例如我就是以股东身分兼任总镖头的。”
卫长青道：“要是那个股东从未在这间镖局做过镖师的呢？”
韩威武道：“即使是股东保荐的人，只要他的条件足够，也可优先考虑，何况是股东本人？”心想震远镖局的股东只有他和杨牧二人，杨牧师徒已经退出竞逐，那是不愁节外生枝的了。卫长青的问题，等于无的放矢。
卫长青道：“韩老镖头刚才说的条件似乎是着重于声望与武功这两方面，对不对？”韩威武道：“不错。”
卫长青说道：“声望高低很难评定，你说你的声望高，我说我的声望高，用什么来做定准？依我说，倒不如干脆只论武功，武功强弱倒是一比就可以比出来的！”
一来因为卫长青的身分是大内副总管，二来他的说法也是未尝没有理由。韩威武心里想道：“只要他们不插手，根据什么条件来选都是一样。”乐得奉承卫长青一句：“大人说得是。”要知继任的总镖头人选，局中是早已内定的了。
资深的老镖师胡中源便即说道：“我推举沐镖师，论武功他是除了老镖头之外，镖局里的第一把好手，我们所有的镖师都佩服他的。这几年来他保了许多大镖，从没失过手！黑道白道他也吃得开，论声望亦是足够的了。”
卫长青道：“这位沐镖头想必就是令婿天澜兄吧？”
韩威武亦已料到有此一问，便即说道：“正是。不过这只是他们的意思。其实小婿年轻识浅，我倒是不放心他担当重任的。”
扬威镖局总镖头崔立诚以镖行老前辈的身分说道：“韩老镖头此言差矣，成语说得好：内举不避亲，只要令婿有此才能，镖局上下又都服他，老镖头又何须避忌？”
震远镖局的另一个老镖头崔明伦也道：“是呀，沐老弟在镖局的年资虽然不是最深，但他年少老成，屡当重任从未失事，我们这些老镖头都是无不对他心悦诚服的！”他是着重在“资望”二字立论，亦是不著痕迹的替韩威武说沐天澜“年轻识浅”来作分辩。
杨牧打了一个哈哈，说道：“令婿众望所归，难得，难得。不过，我却想说两句话。”
韩威武打了个突，忙道：“天澜其实是不够资望的，要是杨大人心目中有更适当的人选……”
杨牧截断他的话道：“韩老镖头，你会错意了。我并非不赞成令婿做总镖头。我生平也最反对做事情要讲什么年资，试想，若然只讲年资，那么挑一个行将就木的老头子做总镖头岂不最好？韩老镖头又何须退休？”
说话虽然略带讥刺，对韩威武倒是有利。韩威武道：“大人说得好，像我这样的老朽是早该让位给年轻人的了。不过天澜是否老朽'让贤'的适当人选，那又另当别论。请杨大人抒发高见。”
杨牧又打了一个哈哈，说道：“韩老镖头，你错了。贵镖局该由何人当总镖头，这种事情是不该问我的！”“贵镖局”这三个字从他口中说出来，众人不禁一愕！
杨威镖局的崔总镖头知道韩威武不方便说话，便代他说道：“杨大人，你是震远镖局的股东，镖局里重要的人事安排本来应该得到你的同意的，你这样说，似乎客气过份了吧？”他和震远镖局的一众镖师同一心思，猜想杨牧说的乃是“反话”，是以绕着弯儿试探杨牧的口风。
哪知杨牧说的并非“反话”。
只见杨牧拉着宇文雷站了起来，哈哈一笑，说道：“我早已不是震远镖局的股东了，我手上所有的股份，都已经让给这位宇文先生啦。”
这一下来得太过突然，震远镖局的人全都变色。
崔立诚与韩威武交情极深，着急之下，无暇琢磨言辞，便即说道：“一间镖局的股份出让是件大事，杨大人怎的到现在才说？”
杨牧冷冷说道：“股份出让，是私人的事。朝廷法例，似乎没有特别规定镖局的股份就不能出让的吧？要是那位怀疑我作弊的话，我可以请卫大人作个证明。”
卫长青接着说道：“他们的这宗交易，是由我见证，大家都在买卖契约上划了押的。按规矩本来应该由我会同双方来通知镖局其他股东，适值这两天我比较忙，没有立即办理。不过趁着今天大家在场交代此事，却是正好。韩老镖头大概不会怪我来得太迟吧！”
他是大内副总管的身分，韩威武虽然心内气愤，却也只好苦笑道：“卫大人贵人事忙，今天能够抽空驾临，韩某已是感激不尽。”
杨牧说道：“我一踏进贵镖局，本来就要交代这件事的。只因为大家正在兴致勃勃的推选新任总镖头，我不便打断大家商量的大事。好了，现在我要交代的已经交代过了，请恕我置身事外了。韩老镖头、宇文兄，你们两位以后多多亲近。”
韩威武只好转而请问宇文雷的意见。
宇文雷淡淡说道：“我是外行，当然一切唯韩老镖头马首是瞻。实不相瞒，我就是因为佩服韩老镖头是镖行罕见的人材，才放心买下震远镖局的半数股份的。唉，但却想不到韩老镖头这样早就要闭门封刀！”
这最后一句话已经是话里有话了。
崔立诚双盾一轩，说道：“如今韩老镖头已经决意退休，宇文先生要是放心不下，你名下的股份，我可以找几位朋友承受，不过恐怕一时凑不足现钱，请你宽限几日！”
宇文雷哈哈一笑，说道：“做生意总是要冒点风险的，何况是做镖局的生意？固然镖局的生意我不在行，但别的生意我更不在行。实不相瞒，我有一半是冲着韩老镖头的威望才买下震远镖局的股份，但另一半也冲着震远镖局这面金漆招牌。”
卫长青还怕别人听不懂宇文雷的意思，跟着说道：“不错，有震远镖局这金漆招牌，继任的总镖头纵然比不上前任的韩老镖头，但只要他本领不是太差，这面金漆招牌也就可以维持不坠了。”
话语已是说得十分明显，问题的焦点还是在于新任总镖头的人选上。
韩威武道：“宇文先生，你心目中是不是另有更适合的总镖头人选，不妨明言。”
宇文雷忙道：“没有，没有。韩老镖头，请你别误会我是不满意令婿继任，不过，不过……”
韩威武道：“不过什么？”
宇文雷道：“镖局上下，都称赞令婿武功了得，我也相信令婿的武功一定不差。不过，我尚未亲眼见过……”说到这里，突然又不说了，只把眼睛打量着沐天澜。
林天澜少年气盛，不觉气往上冲，亢声说道：“宇文先生是否想考较在下的武功？”
宇文雷微笑道：“别说得这样严重，不过，要是阁下愿意让我见识见识……”
沐天澜正要发话，韩威武将他止住，说道：“宇文先生到底意欲如何，还是请你打开天窗说个亮话吧。”
卫长青说道：“宇文先生不便说，让我替他说吧。他花了几十万两银子，买下震远镖局一半股份，当然希望有个武功高强、值得他信赖的人做总镖头。大家或者会问，怎样才是值得他信赖的呢！这个他也对我说过了。”
韩威武道：“那就请卫大人代他说出来吧。”
卫长青说道：“他的意思是，只要这个人能够接得下他三十招，就是值得他信赖的了。这条件不算苛吧？”
沐天澜跳了出来，说道：“我不是想做总镖头，但我倒想见识见识这位宇文先生的高明武功，也不必以三十招为限！”
卫长青笑道：“别忙，别忙，我还没有说完呢。宇文兄对谁做总镖头。确实是没有成见的。但倘若镖局里的人，没有谁接得下他三十招，他就恐怕不放心让别人做了！”
沐天澜心头火起，说道：“我但求见识见识宇文先生高明的武功，宇文先生虽然看不起在下，在下可不想占宇文先生的便宜。”
宇文雷微笑道：“沐镖师言重了，我岂敢看不起阁下。这三十招的限定，不过是我心目中的标准而已。假如阁下能够在十招之内将我击败，那我只有更加欢喜，更加深庆得人！”
沐天澜说道：“好，那就不必以三十招为限，我若然输了给你，我们大伙儿奉你为总镖头！”
卫长青立即抓住他的话柄，道：“你这句话，不知韩老镖头与贵镖局的其他镖师可都同意？”
韩威武不知宇文雷的来历，他见宇文雷不过三十左右年纪，比沐天澜大不了多少，心里想道：“天澜家学渊源，这几年来，又得我的七成功夫，三十招料想他是无论如何接得下来的。”于是便即说道：“要是宇文先生能够在三十招之内击败小婿，老夫亦是为后任深庆得人，可以放心卸下这副担子了。”
镖局里两个年资最深的老镖头胡中源与崔明伦齐声说道：“沐镖师是我们镖局公认武功最好的一位镖师，要是宇文先生胜得过他，我们当然愿意拥护他做总镖头！”
宇文雷走出场心，说道：“好，沐兄请来指教，沐兄可以不必限招，小弟仍以三十招为限，要是过了三十招，小弟立即认输！”
支剑峰情知沐天澜不是宇文雷对手，心里暗暗担虑。他想揭穿宇文雷是白驼山的邪派妖人，但一来碍着他有卫长青撑腰；二来他因解洪目前尚在丐帮藏身之事，亦是有所顾忌；三来侠义道虽然把白驼山当作邪派，但镖局和侠义道却不能划上等号。宇文雷是以震远镖局大股东的身分来争总镖头，他的出身如何，那是谁也管不了的。卫长青发觉他神情有异，已知他在想些什么，立即先发制人，故意问道：“支舵主你好像是有话说，是吗？”
支剑峰道：“没什么，我只想请问卫大人，这位宇文先生不知是何门派？”
卫长青笑道：“丐帮的朋友很多，支舵主料想也不会尽知贵帮朋友的来历吧？”话中有话，弦外之音，不答自答。那是暗示他已经知道“有来历不明”的人藏在丐帮了。只要支剑峰不揭穿宇文雷底细，他也可以不追究丐帮包庇钦犯之事。
支剑峰心中恼怒，但权衡轻重，却是不能不受他的威胁。他低下了头，寻思对策。
卫长青只道他已屈服，得意洋洋的问道：“支舵主还有什么话要说吗？要是没有话说，咱们可以看他们过招了。”此时沐天澜早已摆好架式，与宇文雷相向而立，准备发招了。
支剑峰忽道：“且慢，我还有话说！”
宇文雷道：“支舵主有何指教？”心中暗暗吃惊，“这老叫化难道竟然不顾一切，要揭我的底细？”
支剑峰缓缓道：“指教不敢。我只是想在两位过招之前，提个意见。接纳与否，悉听尊便。”
宇文雷、沐天澜齐道：“愿聆支舵主高见。”
支剑峰继续道：“宇文先生，你与沐镖师这场比武，用意只是在于试试他的武功如何，对吗？”
宇文雷傲然说道：“不错。”支剑峰继续道：“你们一个是震远镖局的股东，一个是震远镖局的镖师，既然是自己人在比试武功，那么依我之见，这场比试只须分强弱就行，无须拼个你死我活。两位同意吗？”
宇文雷道：“我是希望点到为止的，但只怕万一失手……”沐天澜也道：“我岂敢存心伤害镖局的大股东，但只怕拳头上不长眼睛……”
支剑峰摆一摆手，道：“两位既然都是但求点到即止，那么纵有误伤，谁也怪不了谁。拳脚上的误伤也不会太严重的。不过暗器和使毒这两门功夫，在这场比武之中，最好不要使用，两位可同意这一条限制？”
宇文雷松了口气，心
