Chapter 13 Chapter Thirteen

The beautiful boy said: "My surname is very vulgar, it is the gold of gold and silver." Yang Hua said with a smile: "The name is just a sign. Jin Zhuliu, the number one swordsman in the world today, is surnamed Jin. His father, Jin Shiyi, is a master of martial arts. It is said that he is still alive, but he has fled overseas. That is even more important. You are a master of the world." The beautiful boy said: "It sounds like you admire their father and son very much." Yang Hua said: "Who doesn't admire martial arts learners in the world? If I have the opportunity to meet the hero Jin Zhuliu, I will be satisfied for the rest of my life."

The beautiful boy chuckled and said, "At such a young age, 'half life' still has decades to live, so you say 'one life' so quickly? How do you know that you won't have even bigger adventures in the future?" Yang Hua said: "Senior Jin Shiyi, I don't dare to hope to see him. In today's world, Jin Zhuliu is the person I admire the most. As long as I see him, I don't dare to expect any more adventures." .” The beautiful boy said: "I see that your swordsmanship is extremely superb, I'm afraid it may not be inferior to this golden hero."

Yang Hua thought suddenly, and thought: "He seems very happy to hear that I admire Jin Daxia so much, could it be that he is the younger generation of Jin Daxia?" Then he said: "Jin Daxia is the number one swordsman in the world, how can I compare with him? But if you say that, have you seen the swordsmanship of Jin Daxia?" The beautiful young man smiled and said, "It would be great if Jin Daxia is willing to teach me swordsmanship. But although I am a layman at swordsmanship, I can still tell whether other people's swordsmanship is good or not. The few days when you forced Ma Kun to roll down the hillside just now It's hard for me to imagine any swordsmanship that is more brilliant, and Jin Daxia's attainment is probably no more than this."

What he said was ambiguous, he neither said he had seen Jin Zhuliu, nor did he say he hadn't seen Jin Zhuliu, Yang Hua was afraid that he would hate his rambling, so he couldn't press on.He thought to himself: "That's right, he is a soft whip. If he is a junior of Jin Daxia, the number one swordsman in the world, how can he not learn the sword but learn the whip?" The beautiful boy said: "Okay, let's not talk about Jin Daxia, let's talk about your business. What are you going to do now? After you hit these two eagle claws, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to go with Han Weiwu and the others again."

Yang Hua said: "I'm about to discuss with you, but you haven't told me your name yet." The beautiful boy smiled and said: "You already know my surname, so you can call me Big Brother Jin? Hey, hey, this is my blunt way of saying it. It seems that you may be a little older than me, or I will call you Yang Big brother, you can call me brother." At first he was a little cold towards Yang Hua, but now he was chatting and laughing, much more affectionate. Yang Hua said: "It's better to let me know the name, otherwise when I mention you to others, don't I just say 'my brother Jin' or 'my brother Jin'? What a nonsense!"

The beautiful boy smiled and said: "I'm afraid of your nagging, okay, let me tell you, my name is Biyi." While talking, he used a branch to draw the word "Biyi" on the ground. Yang Hua smiled and said: "Your name is very delicate." He thought: "His behavior and temper are a bit like a girl's, but his name is also a bit like a girl's name." Jin Biyi seemed to have guessed that he was Thinking about something, but didn't dare to say it, couldn't help blushing again, and said: "It's getting late, I should go." Yang Hua hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, you haven't discussed it with me yet!"

"What are you discussing?" "Did you forget to ask me what I'm going to do now?" Jin Biyi said: "Ah, this is what you want to discuss with me, not I want to discuss with you. I see, you have already made up your mind, let's simply say, what do you want?" Yang Hua said: "You guessed right , I, I just want to go with you." This is the second time he has made this request, and Jin Biyi looked embarrassed, and after a while, Fang Shi said with a half-smile: "You said those two eagle claws are like Wronged souls have been haunting Han Weiwu endlessly, why are you also haunting me like innocent ghosts now?"

Yang Huasheng was afraid that he would not agree, so he continued: "I lost my parents since I was a child, and I have no brothers, and I don't even have a friend. You are the first friend I made. I really don't want to be like last time. Immediately." I'm about to break up with you." Hearing his sincerity, Jin Biyi couldn't help being a little moved, thinking: "His temper is just like my father's, he is very capable and warm-hearted. He is a kind-hearted person. Well, my mother liked it because of my father's temper. His." Thinking up to this point, not only his heart became hot, but also his face became hot.

Yang Hua said: "I'm telling the truth, don't you believe it?" Jin Biyi said: "How do you know where I'm going?" Yang Hua said: "I will follow you wherever you go." Jin Biyi said: "What if I abduct you and sell it to your enemy?" She purposely put on a straight face, speaking as if she was very serious. Yang Hua's heart trembled, and he thought: "Meng Yuanchao is someone he respects, maybe he will take it seriously?" But then he thought: "How can I be so suspicious, not to mention that he is an upright young man, even if Meng Yuanchao, Even if you speak so badly to your father, you won't be colluding with others to plot against your enemies." So he said with a smile, "Then I am willing to die at your hands."

Jin Biyi said angrily: "What kind of talk is this? It's really nonsense, who wants you to die for me?" Although her face was sullen, she finally nodded slowly. Yang Huaxi said: "Brother Jin, you agreed?" Jin Biyi said: "Do you know where I am going?" Yang Hua said: "I have already said, wherever you go, I will go." Jin Biyi glared at him and said, "You clearly know that I'm going to Qaidam, so you're happy to make sarcastic remarks." Yang Hua said, "Since we're going to the same place, wouldn't it be better to go together?"

Jin Biyi said: "But after arriving in Qaidam, the places I go are not accessible to just anyone." Yang Hua said: "I know. There is no banquet that never ends. Whenever you want to break up with me, we will break up. I just hope that I can spend a few more days with you on the road." Jin Biyi felt sweet in her heart, her face blushed again, and she said, "Ah, you really value my friendship with you so much?" Yang Hua said: "I never tell lies!" Jin Biyi smiled sweetly and said, "Okay, I can go with you, but you have to listen to me, no matter what it is!" Yang Hua was taken aback for a moment, and thought to himself: "If he wants me to promise not to take revenge on Meng Yuanchao, what should I do?" Jin Biyi seemed to know his intentions, and then said: "There is no big or small thing along the way, you have to obey me whatever I say. When you arrive in Qaidam, I will ignore you." Yang Hua relieved, and said quickly: "I am a newcomer. For the young children of the Tao, it is the best thing to have brother Jin pointing out on the way." Jin Biyi laughed and said: "Don't agree easily, you might risk your life! You know that I secretly protect this dart for Zhenyuan Escort Bureau." Yang Hua said: "Although I am an outsider, but Chief Han treats me as a friend, and I am willing to accept it." Only then did Jin Biyi tell him: "Do you know who the chief thief who uses the iron lute is?" Yang Hua said: "I heard from Han Weiwu that this man's name is Shang Tiehong, he was introduced from the iron pipa sect, and he is probably a gang leader or something." Jin Biyi said: "That's right, but he has another identity, I'm afraid Han Weiwu didn't know about it either. He is the sworn brother of Hai Lanting, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, and he secretly served the Tartars. Hai Lanting has long been suspicious of Han Weiwu, because he didn't get it The evidence of his liaison with the rebel army is why he and Min Chenglong are responsible for the investigation. This time they came to rob Han Weiwu's darts, probably because of Hai Lanting's instruction." Yang Hua suddenly realized, and said: "No wonder the attitude of the two Imperial Forest Army officers is obviously protecting them." Jin Biyi said: "Shang Tiehong has suffered from you. Although he didn't realize it on the spot, he already knew that someone was secretly helping Han Weiwu. In his capacity, he suffered this setback. Unless he has the certainty of defeating you, he would not have expected it." He will not come again. But there is no guarantee that no one else will rob the bodyguard of Zhenyuan Escort Bureau." Yang Hua said: "Okay, then let's open the way for Han Weiwu. If you encounter any suspicious people, please remind me." Jin Biyi said: "There is another layer. I am a bit different. Only others accommodate me, and I don't accommodate others. Maybe you will hate me after walking with me for a few days." Yang Hua thought in his heart: "This person is younger than me, but why does he speak like a mother-in-law? I can promise you all the important things that matter to your life, let alone other things?" So he laughed: "The ancients have said: When talking about friendship, pay attention to morality and justice, and the small details Sufficient theory. Whatever you like, I will follow your meaning." Seeing that he was full of promises, Jin Biyi smiled and said: "Actually, when we arrived in Qinghai area, someone from the rebel army had already been secretly taking care of Han Weiwu's dart. Just now I deliberately said that it was dangerous, but to try you. I What I worry about is that you can't obey me in small things." It was already the morning of the next day, Yang Hua said: "Okay, then I have promised you, can we go?" Jin Biyi stepped on the horse and said with a smile: "The horses of the two Eagle Claw grandsons are purebred Dawan horses. We can arrive at Qaidam a few days earlier. Get on the horses!" Yang Hua suddenly remembered something and said, "Not good!" Jin Biyi said: "What's wrong?" Yang Hua said: "Yesterday there was an avalanche. I have no experience with avalanches, but according to the guards, it might cause snow to roll down and seal the mountain pass. Whether they can start their journey depends on whether it is sunny today." Jin Biyi said: "Don't panic, follow me." Then he explained to Yang Hua: "Yesterday was just a small avalanche. It's true that the mountain pass has been blocked by snow, but there is another path to get out of the mountain." Yang Hua asked: "Does monk Tiehong Han Weiwu know about this way out?" Jin Biyi said: "This is the secret path that the natives told me, I'm afraid they won't know it. However, Master Shama, who has lived here for a long time, thinks he should know it." Yang Hua let go of his worries and said: "Of course Master Shama will tell Han Weiwu, as long as Shang Tiehong doesn't know. Even if he is unwilling, Han Weiwu will come out after he finds a helper. "You must know that as soon as you leave this mountain, you have entered the Qinghai area, and there will be volunteers along the way to secretly protect this dart. At that moment, the two walked side by side, leaving Yushu Mountain, galloping fast. In the evening, they discovered a relatively densely populated town. The two found an inn in the town and went in to stay.The owner of the store said: "You came at a good time. We have three upper rooms facing south vacant. You can choose which one you want." It turns out that winter in the Northland comes early, and there are very few merchants in the early winter.It was the first time that this inn had a guest in half a month. Jin Biyi said: "We want two upper rooms." The shop owner was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Aren't you together?" Jin Biyi said: "We are together, but I like to have two rooms, can't I?" The owner of the store thought: "I'm kind enough to ask you, I wish you could have ten rooms." He smiled and said, "Of course, how about these two rooms next to each other?" Yang Hua originally wanted to persuade him to save some money, the two of them shared a room, and they could have a long talk, so what's wrong?But remembering his promise, everything must be obeyed by him, and seeing that he had already told the shopkeeper, he remained silent.On the other hand, Jin Biyi was afraid that he might be suspicious, so during dinner, she whispered to him, "I was used to sleeping alone when I was young, and if I slept with someone else, I couldn't sleep all night." Yang Hua said: "Everyone has some special habits, that's not unusual." He was secretly amused: "Could it be that you will marry a wife in the future and not have sex with her? If you don't change this habit, you won't be able to sleep every night. I feel, that's a pain." After Jin Biyi had dinner, she hid in her room, closed the door, and slept alone, ignoring Yang Hua.Yang Hua wanted to chat with him, but he didn't dare to go.I thought to myself: "Maybe he is too tired, but his martial arts is so high, and he doesn't seem to be very tired. Why did he have to fall asleep so early? Hmm! This person is really special. However, such small things, It doesn't matter if I accommodate him." The two continued their trip the next day, Jin Biyi seemed a little embarrassed about what happened last night, and deliberately found some gossip to chat with Yang Hua in order to change the subject. Although Jin Biyi is young, she knows a lot about the world.Speaking of many famous figures in martial arts, he seems to be quite familiar with them.But he never mentioned his parents and family, nor did he ask who Yang Hua's parents were. Yang Hua listened to him talking about the strange people and strange things in the martial arts, the taboos in the Jianghu, and the cuts. He listened with great interest and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be a great expert in the Jianghu. Listening to what you say is better than reading ten years of books." Jin Biyi said: "These are just common sense, didn't your master teach you?" Yang Hua said: "Although I have three masters, since I was eight years old, I have only been with my third master. He lives in seclusion in the stone forest and doesn't care about outside affairs at all." He moved, as if he wanted to ask Yang Hua something, but he didn't. After a while, Jin Biyi couldn't bear it anymore, and Fang Shi said: "It is said that the stone forest is the place where Zhang Danfeng, the great master of martial arts in the Ming Dynasty, lived in seclusion in his later years. I wonder if there are still his relics there?" Yang Hua said: "There is a sword peak in the stone forest, and there is a sword pool under the sword peak. The scenery is very beautiful. It is said that the word 'Jianfeng' is Zhang Danfeng's book. He practices swords at Jianfeng and washes swords in the sword pool every day. .” Jin Biyi said: "Li Nanxing, the chief rudder of the Hongying Society, had a sword discussion with my father one day, counting all the famous swordsmen in the world, and finally they all sighed in unison: 'It's a pity that we were born three hundred years late, so we can't face Zhang Danfeng. Listen to the teachings.' Their admiration for Zhang Danfeng is just like your admiration for Jin Daxia. But one is an ancient person, and the other is a modern person. Your wish can still be realized one day, and their wish is a pity." Stopped After a pause, he laughed and said: "The legends in the martial arts state that Zhang Danfeng's swordsmanship is extremely miraculous, but no one has ever seen it. How miraculous it is, I can't say. I don't know if it is as good as the rumors?" Yang Hua secretly smiled and said, "What you saw the day before yesterday was Zhang Danfeng's nameless swordsmanship?" He almost wanted to tell him that he was Zhang Danfeng's disciple passed on from generation to generation.But after thinking about it, if this secret is leaked out, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble.Moreover, he once swore that he would return the "nameless swordsmanship" to the Tianshan sect founded by Zhang Danfeng's big disciple Huo Tiandu in the future.After Huo Tiandu founded the sect, there have been twelve generations of disciples. The current head of Tianshan is Tang Jingtian. Yang Hua once heard this name from Miao Changfeng. Miao Changfeng prayed in front of his mother's tomb that day, saying that he had lived up to his trust and brought her child to Tianshan Mountain, and Tang Jingtian agreed to accept him as a disciple.It was only then that Yang Hua knew that he had a younger brother, but there were still a lot of ambiguities about this matter, and he had to meet Tang Jingtian to know clearly.So he decided to settle his grievances in Qaidam, and went to Tianshan to look for his brother who had never met.By the way, return the "nameless swordsmanship" that should belong to the Tianshan School to Tang Jingtian. Although he was not subject to any restrictions, according to common sense, since he decided to return Zhang Danfeng's sword manual to the Tianshan School, it seems inappropriate to disclose it to people who have nothing to do with it before doing this.Jin Biyi didn't directly ask him about the secret, and after thinking twice, Yang Hua decided not to tell him the secret for the time being. But in Jin Biyi's speech, he found out that Jin Biyi's background was not simple, and thought to himself: "Li Nanxing is a well-known swordsman in the world, his father can discuss swords with Li Nanxing, and he should be enough with Li Nanxing Someone who is comparable?" So he couldn't help asking: "Who is your father, I haven't asked for advice yet." Jin Biyi said: "We go our separate ways, who do you care about my father? Could it be that my family background is not good, so you won't make friends with me?" Yang Hua said slowly: "I, I didn't mean that..." Seeing his embarrassment, Jin Biyi chuckled, interrupted him, and said with a smile: "Since you don't mean it, then don't ask me any more. You are friends with me, not with my father. I didn't ask you either." family!" Yang Hua's heart trembled, and he thought to himself: "That's right, if he asks who my parents are, I don't want to tell him either." He knew that Jin Biyi was the same as himself, and his background was unspeakable, so he quickly changed the subject, coaxing He rejoices. Young people are always easy to talk to. A little bit of grievance, like a cloud that appears by chance on a sunny day, quickly disappears.Before they knew it, the two talked about martial arts again. Yang Hua is a simple and straightforward person. When Jin Biyi asked him for martial arts advice, he knew everything, talked endlessly, and was straightforward about his shortcomings.After talking happily, Jin Biyi suddenly smiled and said: "My ability is far inferior to yours, but I have seen quite a few famous swordsmanship. Your swordsmanship is enough to compete with any famous master in the world, but it is a pity that the three masters of the best swordsmanship One key point, your fire seems to have not been perfected. If you meet Li Nanxing or Miao Changfeng, you will still lose to them." Yang Huaxi said: "I was just about to ask you for advice, what are the three key points, you can tell me quickly." Suddenly, he thought: "Why did he omit Jin Zhuliu, the number one swordsman in the world? Oh, yes , Li Nanxing and Miao Changfeng are far better than me, and Jin Zhuliu is needless to say." Jin Biyi smiled and said: "I am not worthy to teach you, I am just picking up people's teeth. I heard people say that the three key points in superior swordsmanship are 'heaviness, clumsiness, and greatness'. Ordinary swordsmanship emphasizes lightness, quickness and dexterity. 'Light' can beat 'heavy', 'clever' can beat 'clumsy', and 'small' can win against 'big'. The so-called 'small' wins 'big', which means that 'odd' wins 'right'. But if you practice to the level of proficiency, you can return to the basics, lift weights like light, act clumsily and skillfully, seem big but small." "Heavy, clumsy, and big" sword theory, Yang Hua also heard him say that night when he fought against Miao Changfeng at his mother's grave.But it is not as clear and detailed as Jin Biyi said at this time. It is not that Yang Hua does not understand these principles, but because Zhang Danfeng's "Unknown Sword Art" has no pictures and no text, although the principles of "Xuan Gong Keys" are similar to swordsmanship, they are not specific enough. .Therefore, Yang Hua's swordsmanship attainments can be said to be comprehended only by himself, and his understanding is not thorough enough.After listening to Jin Biyi's explanation, I really benefited a lot. Yang Hua thought to himself: "His father must be a great expert in swordsmanship. But it's strange, why didn't he learn swordsmanship?" Because he had encountered a setback and was full of doubts, he didn't dare to ask more questions.Before you know it, it's time for the sunset again. Jin Biyi looked at the sky and said: "Not good, we missed Sutou, and it is difficult to find a family in this barren mountain and wild place." Yang Hua said: "Looking at the weather, it probably won't snow tonight. There is a pine forest in front of us. It's okay if we spend the night in the pine forest." In the barren hills, things are very common, Yang Hua thought to himself: In the past few months, I have slept in the open for almost eight out of ten nights, has he never slept in the open?Why do you take it so seriously. Jin Biyi thought for a while and said, "It's not that I can't sleep in the open, but I'm not used to it, but since I don't have a place to live, that's the only way I can do it." The two led their mounts and walked into the pine forest, but they saw towering ancient trees, strange rocks and rocks everywhere.Yang Hua said with a smile: "In this dense forest, even if there is a wind and snow, it can still be sheltered. Who said there is no shelter." They had dry food, but the big leather bag of wine hadn't been finished yet, so Yang Hua gave dry food after drinking, and said, "Brother Jin, you only chew dry food, aren't you thirsty, let's drink some." Jin Biyi quickly waved his hands and said, "I can just drink water, the clear spring in the mountains is better than wine." Yang Hua said with a smile: "Not necessarily. Drinking alcohol can dispel the cold, but drinking water is okay?" Jin Biyi said: "I don't feel cold." Yang Hua said: "It's okay to drink a little. Didn't you say that you should improve your drinking capacity?" Yang Hua persuaded him to drink because he drank alone, but Jin Biyi raised his face suddenly and said: "Before I go to bed, I will never drink. You drink if you like!" Yang Hua hit a snag again, stepped back in embarrassment, and thought: "This person has so many different habits!" Jin Biyi lost her temper for "no reason", but then laughed again and said, "I know that my bad temper is easy to be annoying, so I said it in my head early in the morning, and I have to let you accommodate me. Brother Yang, You are a very good person, you have really accommodated me in everything these two days." Yang Hua smiled wryly: "You don't hate me, I'm already very grateful to you." Jin Biyi said: "I want to go to bed early tonight." After saying that, she took out a ball of folded gauze and opened it to form a tent.Jin Biyi said: "It's made of wild silkworm silk from the Tianshan Mountains. When folded, it's not enough to hold, but when unfolded, it can cover a room without the wind and snow intruding. It's warm in winter and cool in summer. The benefits are inexhaustible." Yang Hua thought to himself: "You have such a complete set of utensils, why are you afraid of sleeping in the open?" But afraid of arousing his "strange temper", he dared not speak of him. Jin Biyi chose a place and said, "This is the best place, you help me hang up the tent." In front of the place is a huge standing stone, just like a screen.There happened to be a pine tree on both sides, with wild vines coiled on the tree, and the branches of the vines drooped and fluttered in the wind, shaped like tassels.In the middle there was a round stone, as smooth as a mirror, which was just right for a bed. Yang Hua helped him hang the gauze on the tree, just enough to cover the boulder.Jin Biyi was overjoyed and said, "I chose this place, right?" Yang Hua said: "It's good, but it's a pity that it's too good!" Jin Biyi was taken aback for a moment and said, "What do you mean by that?" Yang Hua said: "This place is too hidden. Sleeping in it is like living in a deep place, and you don't know what's going on outside." Jin Biyi said: "There are two of us. Brother Yang, please go in and sleep." Yang Hua said, "What about you?" Jin Biyi said with a half-smile, "Have you forgotten my habit again? I'll watch over there for you." The place he was referring to was the entrance of a spiral-shaped mountain depression a hundred paces away. Only then did Yang Hua suddenly realize: "It turns out that he is not afraid of sleeping in the open, but he is afraid of sleeping with me." Then he smiled and said: "Let me go over there to sleep. Well, don't be polite to me, I know you like to sleep well." Comfortable, and I can sleep anywhere." Jin Biyi said: "Brother Yang, you are so kind. Well, then I won't be polite to you. See you tomorrow morning." When he said the word "good", he smiled like a flower. Yang Hua walked away from a distance, and at the corner of the mountain depression, he chose a place where he could look around and sleep on a rock.He was not used to going to bed early, so he thought to himself: "Brother Jin's temper is really strange. Sometimes he is very bold and heroic, like when Xiao Jinchuan slapped me in the face. But sometimes he is squeamish Showing off, wanting to be accommodated, in many ways, she behaves like a woman. Well, I heard that some sons of rich and noble families, because their parents dote on them too much, grow up with a little bit of makeup unknowingly. Could it be this brother Jin Is that the same?" He thought wildly for a while, and then he couldn't help but laugh secretly: "I don't care whether he looks like a man or a woman, in short, he is a good friend!" Like a crescent moon, hang on the tip.Before I knew it, it was time to enter the second watch, and suddenly I heard someone's voice in the distance. Yang Hua has practiced the inner strength method left by Zhang Danfeng for a year, and his hearing and eyesight are very clear, and he can listen to the sound even further.Listening intently, there were three people who could hear the words, one of them, with a very familiar voice, said: "Actually, this place is better to rob the darts, Shang Tiehong chose to rob the darts in front of the Baijiao Lama Temple in Yushu Mountain, it was really a miscalculation !" After he said these few words, Yang Hua could already hear that this person was none other than Deng Zhongai, the leader of the "Five Senses" who had fought against him in Xiaojinchuan.Yang Hua's heart trembled, and he thought: "Judging from his tone, maybe they are also here to rob Han Weiwu's dart. Hmph, hum, it's unexpected that he is an official and a robber. Fortunately, I met him. How can I allow them to succeed?" Immediately he made up his mind to dismiss these officials and robbers for Han Weiwu.But after another thought: "I don't need to be too anxious, just listen to what they have to say." Only another person's voice could be heard saying: "That's right, Lao Deng, I just wanted to ask you, Shang Tiehong robbed the dart this time, we all thought he would succeed immediately, but how did he miss it?" Deng Zhongai said: "I ran into them at the foot of Yushu Mountain. According to Shang Tiehong, Han Weiwu was not his opponent at first, but for some reason, he was tricked by others in a daze." Another person asked: "Does Shang Tiehong know who the person who plotted against him is?" Deng Zhongai said: "He couldn't find out who it was on the spot, so he had doubts in his heart." The two asked at the same time, "Who does he suspect?" Deng Zhongai said: "The first suspicious person was Master Shama, the abbot of the Baijiao Lama Temple. But after thinking about it carefully, he didn't think he looked like it. Brother Liu, you have no doubts about the martial arts of the Baijiao Lama. Zhizhi Sumin, what do you think?" That "Brother Liu" said: "Dharma King Baijiao can be regarded as a first-class master. If he and Venerable Tiehong fought alone, he would be slightly better. But Master Shama is just a disciple of his school." The implication is, This mage Sharma has no ability to assassinate Shang Tiehong. Deng Zhongai said: "That's right, so Shang Tiehong thought it over and over again, although he has some doubts about Master Shama, he still doesn't believe that he has this ability." Then "Brother Liu" said: "Who is the second one?" Deng Zhongai said: "It's a boy who is only seventeen or eighteen years old. It is said that he is a poor boy in a mountain valley who leads the Zhenyuan Escort." Another person said: "A boy, isn't that even more strange. Tell me, why does Shang Tiehong doubt him?" Deng Zhongai told what Shang Tiehong told him about the situation at that time, and that "Brother Liu" pondered for a while, then said: "Although this boy is suspicious, but if he is capable of plotting against Shang Tiehong, But it's still unbelievable! Brother Ye, what do you think?" The man surnamed Ye thought for a while and said, "I kind of believe it!" Deng Zhongai followed suit and said, "I also suspect that this little guy did it! At least he is more suspicious than Master Shama!" The "Brother Liu" suddenly remembered something after hearing what they said, and said, "Old Deng, I heard that you five sense organs, four Taoists, and four monks suffered from a small thief in Xiaojinchuan. From Jinchuan. He pretended to be a middle-aged officer, but he was only seventeen or eighteen years old. Is this true?" Deng Zhongai blushed, and said: "This little thief's swordsmanship is really elusive, and it is hard to guard against. I have never seen such a good swordsman in my life. But he had an assistant at that time, a soft whip The young man seems to be slightly inferior to him in ability, and he is also very powerful. I am ashamed that the thirteen of us were defeated by these two little thieves." "Brother Liu" said: "When I first heard the news, I thought it was an exaggeration, but who knew it was true. I heard that Commander Hai has sent Ma Kun and Zhou Can to Xiaojinchuan to investigate the matter. What clue?" Deng Zhongai said: "There is nothing, they have already left Xiaojinchuan." "Brother Liu" said: "They are going to Lhasa to give gifts to the Dalai Lama, in the name of giving gifts, but in fact they are going to investigate the whereabouts of the bandits in Xiaojinchuan, and contact the powerful local kings in Qinghai and Tibet to discuss the siege It's a big plan. I heard that this group of bandits has fled to Qinghai and hid in the Qaidam Mountains. If they are not cut off, there will be serious troubles." Deng Zhongai said: "So that's the case. No wonder when they left Xiaojinchuan, Ma Kun once asked me if I was interested in going to Tibet. He could recommend me to be promoted to two ranks and become a military officer in the Minister's Yamen in Tibet. It turned out that he wanted me to go to Tibet. I went to help him. Soon I received a letter from the Yamen of the Ministry of War to transfer me." "Brother Liu" smiled and said, "It's because Ma Kun knows your ability, and Lord Hai thinks highly of you, so the Yamen of the Ministry of War transferred you to Tibet. Hehe, it seems that Lord Hai still wants to take you in as his confidant." Deng Zhongai hurriedly said: "We still have to rely on Mr. Sa and the two elder brothers for promotion." "Brother Liu" said with a dry laugh: "You have Mr. Hai as your backer, isn't that enough?" Deng Zhongai said: "Where the hell is it, my backing is still not stable. And although Lord Hai is the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, when it comes to gaining the emperor's favor, Lord Hai is probably not as good as Lord Sa." "Brother Liu" laughed and said, "You are far away in Xiaojinchuan, so you know everything about the imperial court like the back of your hand. To be honest, our Master Sa is a little angry about this matter." Deng Zhongai was taken aback and said, "Did Master Monsa pay attention to this trivial matter of mine? Master Sa, he, what is he dissatisfied with me..." "Brother Liu" smiled: "Don't worry, Lord Sa is angry, not because of you." Deng Zhongai breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Yes, yes, I was too confused. Mr. Sa has many important matters, how can he be angry for me, a small official." The "Brother Liu" said: "To tell you the truth, he is angry with Commander Hai. Commander Hai did not discuss such a big matter with him, so he proceeded alone. However, although the matter was carried out in secret, it could not be hidden from us Sa My lord. But his old man is magnanimous, instead of destroying Lord Hai's plan in front of the emperor, he is willing to help him succeed." The one surnamed Ye followed with a smile and said, "Old Deng, you and I have a good relationship, and I don't need to hide it from you. Lao Liu and I were ordered by Mrs. Sa to catch up with Ma and Zhou Zhou, and open the skylight with them to speak frankly. If there is food, everyone eats, and if there is credit, everyone shares. Everyone works together to contribute to the imperial court, and don't divide it among each other." Yang Hua bent down to listen, and upon hearing this, he already understood the identities of these two people.He thought to himself: "Their Lord Sa must be the head of the Ouchi guards, Sa Fuding. It turned out that he and the commander of the Imperial Forest Army were also fighting openly and secretly in the court of the Tartars." "Brother Liu" went on to say: "We came to Yushu Mountain, and only then did we know that there was an avalanche a few days ago. Fortunately, we met you who know the way, otherwise we might still be trapped in the mountain. But there is one thing I feel Strange." Deng Zhongai asked: "What's the matter?" "Brother Liu" said: "I heard that Shang Tiehong robbed the darts that night, and Ma Kun and Zhou Can were also in that lama temple?" Deng Zhongai said: "That's right. Ma and the people on Tuesday stood by and stood by, and they actually helped Shang Tiehong. Because..." "Brother Liu" interrupted him and said, "I know why they helped Shang Tiehong What I don’t understand is that since they know the secret of Han Weiwu’s dart, they will definitely follow Han Weiwu. Why do I only see Han Weiwu’s mule team, but not the horses and Zhou Zhou’s men.” Deng Zhongai said: "I don't know about that. Shang Tiehong was going to Yinmachuan to find their friends and then come to rob the darts. On the way we just talked for a while, and he didn't mention whether there were any other people on Ma and Zhoutu matter." "Brother Liu" shook his head and said: "No. They went to Lhasa to give gifts as a cover. Now that they have found the clue of Han Weiwu, how can there be any reason not to follow him? Is it possible to let him give the medicinal materials to the little girl?" Is that bandit in Jinchuan?" The person surnamed Ye said: "Fortunately, Han Weiwu doesn't know us, and he doesn't know that besides Shang Tiehong and Min Chenglong, there are us who know his secrets. Although Ma and Zhou Zhou disappeared inexplicably, we don't have to rush Look for it. If we have a way to deal with Han Weiwu, wouldn't it be better?" "Brother Liu" said: "That's right, let's get down to business. Where did we just say?" The person surnamed Ye said: "When it comes to Mr. Zeng Ling The little thief that Deng suffered from." "Brother Liu" smiled and said: "This circle has gone a long way. Okay, let's get back to business. Old Deng, do you doubt that the boy who plotted against Shang Tiehong is the little thief you met in Xiaojinchuan?" Deng Zhong Ai Dao: "That's right. I was just about to tell the two elder brothers that I once asked Shang Tiehong that the appearance of the boy he described was indeed very similar to that thief." "Brother Liu" was stunned for a while, and muttered to himself: "It's unbelievable that a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old can plot against Shang Tiehong who is good at using hidden weapons, unless, unless..." The person surnamed Ye said: "The five sense organs, four Taoists, and four monks have all suffered from this kid, so it's not surprising that he can plot against Shang Tiehong." Deng Zhongai's heart moved, and he asked quickly: "Brother Liu, what do you mean?" "Brother Liu" said: "You don't know the origin of that little thief, but you should know his name, right?" Deng Zhongai said: "On the day he entered Xiaojinchuan, he told the sentry that his surname was Yang, but he didn't mention his name. Because he had the badge of the Imperial Forest Army, the sentry didn't dare to ask more questions." "Brother Liu" said: "The surname is Yang? I'm afraid it's not quite right!" The one surnamed Ye said: "Of course he won't tell his real name, but Brother Liu, if you say that, do you already know his real name?" "Brother Liu" said: "That's right. I suspect that his surname is not Yang, but his surname..." At this point, Deng Zhongai and he called out at the same time: "His surname is Jin!" "Brother Liu" laughed: "Old Deng, so you have already thought of this person?" 那姓叶的道：“你们说的是……” “刘大哥”和邓中艾又是不约而同的一起答道：“金逐流的儿子！” 杨华听到这里，又是好笑，又是好气，心想道：“我分明姓杨，他们却把金大侠硬派作我的父亲。唉，我哪里有这样的福气？” 邓中艾道：“金逐流是天下第一剑客，听说他与他的师兄江海天易子而教，江海天剑术稍逊师弟，内功则是更高。那小贼不但剑术神奇，内功也甚了得。除了金逐流的儿子之外，还能是谁？” “刘大哥”沉吟半晌，道：“你的推论是不错的，不过是否正确无诈，其中涉及一个关键？” 邓中艾道：“什么关键？” “刘大哥”道：“金逐流只有一个儿子！” 邓中艾道：“何以这是关键？” “刘大哥”道：“你是什么时候在小金川碰上那个小贼的？” 邓中艾道：“大约两个多月之前。” 刘大哥道：“我要确实的日期。”邓中艾算了一算，说道：“是八月初六。” “刘大哥”摇了摇头，说道：“这就不对了。” 邓中艾道：“什么不对？” “刘大哥”道：“七月十三那天，金逐流的儿子曾在川北广元出现，他是奉了江海天之命，去会他的师兄叶慕华。和我有关系的人，在叶家曾见过他，密报给海统领知道。这消息绝对可靠。” 邓中艾这才恍然大悟，说道：“从广元到小金川，最少也得走一个月。金逐流的儿子即使不在广元逗留，七月十三日就走，也不可能在八月初六到达小金川。” “刘大哥”道：“他在叶家住了五天，有一天还曾在宾客面前，和师兄合演一套剑法。据见过的人说，当真是精彩之极。” 邓中艾道：“小金川的那个小贼，决不会是金逐流的儿子了，但和暗算尚铁宏的那个小厮恐怕还是同一个人。” “刘大哥”道：“要是另外还有一个少年，剑法可以比得上金逐流的儿子，那么对咱们就更加不妙了。” 那姓叶的忽道：“这就奇了？” 邓中艾道：“什么奇了？” 那姓叶的道：“我离京之前，黄河铁扇帮的帮主来到，他告诉我一个消息，说是金逐流的儿子在潼关出现，他们铁扇帮的帮主和黄河三霸都伤在他的软鞭之下。” 邓中艾诧道：“金逐流的儿子使软鞭？” 那姓叶的道：“不错，是使软鞭。铁扇帮周帮主赖以成名的铁扇，交手不过三招，就给他的软鞭夺去。” 邓中艾道：“金逐流是天下第一剑客，他的儿子何以要使软鞭，那恐怕是冒充的吧？” 那姓叶的道：“江海天的第三个徒弟李光夏是天地会的副舵主，当时正在潼关分舵。他得知消息，曾亲自去找他的这个师弟。有没有找着我不知道，不过他既然知道这少年是用软鞭打败铁扇帮帮主和黄河三霸，仍然那样着急找他，并声言是他师弟。料想也不应是冒充的了。” “刘大哥”问道：“是哪一天？” 那姓叶的道：“那天正好是中秋节。” 那“刘大哥”皱起眉头道：“这可真是奇了。从广元到潼关，道路崎岖，路程比到小金川还远。他们决不会是同一个人！老邓碰上的那个小贼倒还有可能在十天之内，从小金川赶到潼关。” 那姓叶的道：“那个小贼暂且不管，两个金逐流的儿子，各自在不同的地方出现，究竟哪一个才是真的呢？” 邓中艾说道：“按理说应该是使剑的那一个。” 那姓叶的道：“但是铁扇帮的副帮主言之凿凿，我相信他绝不会故意骗我。” “刘大哥”忽地想起来，说道：“老邓，你好像说过，那小贼曾和一个使软鞭的少年联手，打败你们五官、四道、四僧？” 邓中艾瞿然一省，说道：“不错，那小子的本领也是非同凡响，仅仅比那使剑的小贼稍逊一筹。刘大哥，你莫非是在疑心……” “刘大哥”说道：“正是。我疑心这个少年，就是在潼关出现的，那个用软鞭打败铁扇帮主的金逐流的儿子！不过我却不相信他真的是金逐流的儿子。” 杨华听到这里，却是不由得暗自想道：“你不相信，我可相信！”他把这几天来金碧漪所表现的可疑之点加以整理：第一，他说最佩服的人是金逐流，金碧漪非常高兴；第二，金碧漪的口气相当肯定，“推测”他将来很有机会可以见着金逐流；第三，金碧漪是个剑术的大行家，虽然他用的兵器是软鞭；第四，“今天是十月十二日，金逐流使软鞭的那个儿子八月十五在潼关出现，那么有足够的时间可以让他来到这里，从小金川到潼关，只要他那快马疾驰，抄川西水道，十天之内，勉强也可以赶到。嗯，对了，他很可能是八月初六那天，在小金川为我解围之后便往潼关，过了中秋节，再从潼关来到玉树山的。”杨华心想。 但是还有一个难题未能解决，那就是金逐流只有一个儿子。如果在广元出现的那个是真的，金碧漪就不可能也是。杨华想道：“从种种迹象来看，金碧漪似乎更像真的。虽然我没有见过在广元出现的那个少年。” 心念未已，只听得“刘大哥”笑道：“哪个是真，哪个是假，咱们暂且不必多用脑筋。说不定那使软鞭的少年和那个使剑的小贼，今天晚上，咱们都可以见着！”杨华吃了一惊：“听他口气，他竟好像已经知道我在这里！”
