Chapter 9 Chapter 9: If there is love in heaven

On the surface, Yun Zhongshan is a martial arts hero, but secretly he is an anti-Qing figure who secretly joined.Outsiders don't know, but Yang Mu knows. Yang Mu didn't want to join the rebel army, but he wanted to have a relationship with the anti-Qing heroes.This will not only make him more "eatable" in the arena, but also when the rebel army gains power in the future, he will still be respected by others. Like a father, like a daughter, Yun Ziluo failed to inherit her father's will after marriage, but the heroes she respected most were the anti-Qing heroes. She also persuaded her husband to help these people more.

"Zi Luo Ruoran knows that her husband is an anti-Qing hero, how happy she will be! Maybe she will really fall in love with me." A gust of cold wind blew, and Yang Mu shivered unknowingly, and thought again: "But if she finds out that I am a fake anti-Qing hero, but in fact I am the eagle claw of the Qing court, how will she, how will she deal with me? "Yang Mu thought of Yun Ziluo talking to him on weekdays, and whenever he talked about a martial arts figure who betrayed and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and hate.Thinking of this, Yang Mu shuddered, "How will she deal with me?" Yang Mu didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"Do you have any problems? You seem to be thinking about something?" Shi Chaoji asked him with a sneer when he saw him in a daze. "No, it's nothing. I was just thinking about how to make up lies so as to deceive the dragons of the world." Shi Chaoji said with a smirk: "There is a lot of time, you can think about it slowly. With your intelligence, you will never fail to think about it. Well, now that the sky is clear, there will be pedestrians on the road, you It's time for me to break up too. Go home early!" "Yes, yes!" Yang Mu hastily agreed, but he smiled wryly in his heart: "The deal between me and him was originally shady!" He was afraid of running into Song Tengxiao on the road, so he immediately put on his mask and hurried along the small road. gone.

Song Tengxiao was also thinking about Yun Ziluo along the way, and when he was about to arrive in Suzhou, his heart skipped a beat. He couldn't help laughing, and thought: "Being close to the country is more timid. This poem is really good. Well, I think Yun Ziluo has already given up her mind, why don't I have the guts to meet her? And my good friend Meng Yuanchao?" "Uncle, why didn't you leave? What are you thinking?" Of course Yang Hua didn't know what Song Tengxiao was thinking, but he found that Song Tengxiao was walking more and more slowly, and finally stopped, but he couldn't help feeling strange!

Song Tengxiao was dazed in a daze, wondering if he heard Yang Hua's words, after a long while, he murmured as if talking to himself: "Hurry up, hurry up!" Yang Hua said in surprise: "Uncle, what are you talking about? We are walking more and more slowly now, why do you say it is fast?" Seeing Song Tengxiao's expression, he felt a little flustered, and held him tightly with his little hands. Song Tengxiao looked at Qu Ran, laughed dumbfounded, gathered himself together, and said, "There are still fifty or sixty miles to go to your grandma's house. If we walk fast, we can see your mother tonight." .”

Yang Hua blinked, and said with a half-belief, "My grandma, uncle, you lied to me, right? I don't have a grandma!" Song Tengxiao smiled and said, "Without grandma, how could you have your mother?" Yang Hua said: "Mom said that grandma lived far away, and she didn't know that place. I asked daddy, but daddy said that grandma might have died long ago, and told me not to ask mom again." Children don't understand "missing" and "missing". There is a difference in literal meaning between "death" and "no". He has never seen his grandmother, and his parents said that, so he thought he did not have a grandmother.

Song Tengxiao said: "That's right, your grandma has gone away. But her home is in this place. Your grandma's home is also your mother's home, do you understand?" Yang Hua nodded and said, "I understand this." Song Tengxiao said: "I don't know if your grandma has come home. But I know your mother must be at home." Yang Huaxi said: "Really? Then I can see my mother?" Song Tengxiao said: "That's right. Are you happy? Mom doesn't know how happy she is to see you!" He thought to himself, "Not only can you see your mother, but you can also see your father!"

In Song Tengxiao's imagination, Meng Yuanchao and Yun Ziluo must have already met and reunited after a broken mirror. "They have gone through many vicissitudes and suffered a lot, and now they are reunited. I should be happy for them. Alas, this child should be regarded as a congratulatory gift from me. After handing over the child, I have nothing to do. I should go away too." Thinking of the two best friends in his life who had finally fulfilled their wishes after all the disasters, Song Tengxiao couldn't help but feel happy again, and feel a little sad at the same time. Don't say that Yang Hua doesn't understand Song Tengxiao's complicated thoughts, even if Yun Ziluo is by his side at this moment, he probably wouldn't have guessed it.

When Yang Hua heard that he could see his mother tonight, he was overjoyed. He held Song Tengxiao's hand and shouted, "Uncle, take me away quickly!" Song Tengxiao was at a loss, and thought to himself: "Yes, yes, I should have the courage to congratulate them." Then he said: "Okay, okay! Go, go! Go, go!" Just when Song Tengxiao was in a state of confusion and was walking in a daze, he suddenly heard someone shouting from behind: "Song Tengxiao, Song Daxia, Song Tengxiao!" Song Tengxiao heard someone calling his name, and turned his head instinctively.

Taking a closer look, I saw that this man was a handsome scholar in his thirties, holding a folding fan in his hand.Song Tengxiao was a little surprised when he saw a strange person, and thought to himself: "Who is this person, I don't think I've seen him before? Why does he seem to be looking for me in a hurry?" Duan Choushi saw that when he turned around, his appearance matched what Yang Mu said, so he knew he had found the right person.Immediately catch up to the front.Said: "Song Daxia, you don't recognize me, but I recognize you. There is something I must tell you—"

Song Tengxiao asked in amazement: "Who is your Excellency? We have never met before, so why should we discuss it?" Duan Choushi pointed to Yang Hua and said, "Don't worry about who I am, is this child's father Meng Yuanchao?" Yang Hua shouted: "Nonsense, my father is Yang Mu of Jizhou, who doesn't know, who doesn't know?" Song Tengxiao couldn't help being taken aback, and cried out: "You, how do you know?" Yang Hua said anxiously: "Uncle, this man must be a liar, don't you believe his words! Uncle, didn't you tell me to kowtow to say goodbye in front of my father's grave? Don't you know my father's surname is Yang?" Although Yang Hua was only seven years old, he was very smart. He could hear Song Tengxiao's tone as if he was acknowledging what the man said, and his little heart couldn't help being very confused. Duan Choushi smiled slightly and said, "So you haven't told this child the truth yet." Song Tengxiao said: "You ask this child, what do you want?" Duan Choushi said: "To be honest, I was entrusted by Hero Meng to pick up his child. Please give this child to me!" Yang Hua shouted repeatedly: "Uncle, don't trust him, don't trust him! He is a liar, he is a liar!" Duan Choushi didn't care about Song Tengxiao's ability, but he didn't want to use force with him, so he fabricated a lie, trying to defraud Meng Yuanchao's child from him.But it's a pity that Duan Choushi didn't know some facts, so his lies couldn't fool Song Tengxiao. Song Tengxiao is a very witty person. After being surprised, he immediately saw the flaw, and thought to himself: "Yun Ziluo didn't see the thief, Happy Zhang, and Happy Zhang didn't return to Suzhou. How could she and Meng Yuanchao know that I took them away?" What’s more, with the friendship between Meng Yuanchao and me, even if he knew about it, he would feel at ease and wait for me to bring the child at home. How could he tell this secret to outsiders, instead wanting what I have What about a stranger he doesn't know come to pick up his child?" Duan Choushi put on a smile and coaxed Yang Hua: "My good boy, I didn't lie to you. If you don't believe me, you can ask your Uncle Song." Suddenly, Song Tengxiao's tiger eyes opened wide, his sword eyebrows stood upright, and he shouted suddenly: "Yes, he is a liar!" Song Tengxiao intended to capture the other party alive and to press for a confession, so he only resorted to acupuncture and did not use the killer. How did he know that Duan Choushi's internal energy attainments are only above him, never below him, he is especially good at closing acupuncture points.If he used heavy techniques to acupressure, it might be able to make Duan Choushi feel a little numb, and if he fights immediately, he can gain a slight advantage.Now he is using ordinary acupoint acupuncture, how can he win the opponent? Song Tengxiao poked with his finger, only to feel that his body was like cotton, and his finger seemed to be wrapped in a ball of cotton wool, but he couldn't exert any force.Fortunately, Song Tengxiao is also a great expert in martial arts. When he felt something was wrong, he immediately changed his moves, using the kung fu of "shifting shape and changing position", withdrawing his body and withdrawing his hand. Duan Choushi originally wanted to outwit him, but he couldn't deceive him, so he had no choice but to resort to force.Both sides moved quickly, and just as Song Tengxiao changed his moves, Duan Choushi was able to beat the wind with his palm. Fortunately, during those few years in Xiaojinchuan, Song Tengxiao often accompanied Lu Simi to practice the light kung fu of "crossing flowers and circling trees". palm. Song Tengxiao smelled a faint smell of blood, and couldn't help being startled again, and took another three steps back.It was too late, but soon, Duan Choushi turned around, grabbed Yang Hua, laughed and said: "What a clever boy, but you are wrong, I didn't lie to you. You don't have to Scared, come with me!" How could Song Tengxiao allow him to snatch Yang Hua away?Duan Choushi's grab hadn't caught Yang Hua, when he suddenly felt the sound of the golden blade chopping the wind behind him, and Song Tengxiao's "shua" sword had already pointed at his back. Song Tengxiao knew that he practiced poisonous palms, so he used the sword against him.The Song family's swordsmanship is known for its lightness, agility and swiftness. When this move is mastered, it is not bad, and it is the one that must be saved when attacking the enemy! Duan Choushi was very knowledgeable, he didn't care about grabbing Yang Hua again, and slapped him back.His palm is as closed as closed, defending the middle and attacking, it can be said that he is evenly matched, and his skill is familiar to the enemy. Song Tengxiao also has some scruples about his poisonous palm. Duan Choushi said: "Song Daxia, yes, I lied to you just now, but I have no malice towards the child!" Song Tengxiao said: "No matter what you say, if you want to snatch this child away, you just can't!" Duan Choushi laughed loudly and said: "I'm afraid that today's affairs cannot be decided by you!" The sound came to people, whistling three palms in a row, and the palms carried strong wind, like the Yangtze River, rolling up.His internal palm strength is indeed extraordinary, and Song Tengxiao couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. Song Tengxiao swung his sword to parry, but refused to give an inch.Shouted: "Nephew Hua, hide behind me, stay far away!" Duan Choushi suddenly laughed and said, "You can't protect him!" Before he finished speaking, Yang Hua suddenly heard a scream and shouted: " Uncle, save me!" Song Tengxiao turned his head to look, and saw a strange man with a sharp mouth and cheeks, who had already held Yang Hua under his arms! It turned out that Duan Choushi had already made an agreement with his senior brother, he asked Bu Tiandiao to lie in ambush, if he failed to deceive, Bu Tiandiao would immediately attack, snatch the child and escape. Bu Tiandiao lived with apes in the deep mountains since he was a child, his lightness kung fu was born out of talent, he snatched away Yang Hua, and disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye. Song Tengxiao's shock was no small matter. He knew that he might not be able to catch up with Bu Tiandiao, but he still wanted to catch up.Duan Choushi was afraid that his senior brother would lose his strength after being injured, and Song Tengxiao might catch up to him after a long time.At that moment, he stalked up like a shadow, and laughed loudly: "Song Daxia, didn't you want to fight with me? Why did you run away?" His lightness skill is on par with Song Tengxiao. get rid of. Song Tengxiao yelled angrily: "Okay, I will fight with you!" Turning around suddenly, the long sword spat out a green light, and with a move of "White Rainbow Piercing the Sun", the tip of the sword pierced Duan Choushi's throat, Duan Choushi said with a smile "Why are you so angry?" She leaned sideways, spread her arms like a crane spreading its wings, rested his elbows with one palm, and chopped off his lute bone with the other palm!The lute bone is the vital part of the human body, if it is broken, no matter how good at martial arts, it will become useless.What's more, Duan Choushi has the skill of poisonous palm, how dare Song Tengxiao let him hit him? Song Tengxiao's heart trembled, and he thought: "When my father was alive, he often taught me not to be impatient when facing the enemy. How could I have forgotten it?" With a thought in his mind, he used the "Huang Hu soaring to the sky" movement technique , Pulled up on the ground, Duan Chou Shihu's palm cut through the sole of his foot.If it wasn't for Song Tengxiao's fast jump, even if the lute bone wouldn't be broken by him, he would inevitably break his feet. Duan Choushi praised: "Good body skills!" Song Tengxiao is not a weak person, before he landed, the long sword was stabbed in the air, Duan Choushi "bent over, and inserted the willow obliquely", leaning back, he could only feel the light of the sword Dazzling, Song Tengxiao's sword also happened to slash right in front of him, if he hadn't dodged well, the consequences would have been disastrous! Duan Choushi praised the word "good" again, and slapped Song Tengxiao's temples on both sides with his bow left and right, "Yin and Yang clashing palms".Song Tengxiao's sword eyebrows were upside down, his stature was short, and he returned a move of "sweeping thousands of troops", and the long sword "slashed" Duan Choushi's next three moves.Duan Choushi turned around and slashed the "Blood Sea Point" in Song Tengxiao's lower abdomen. Using offense as defense, he dispelled Song Tengxiao's sword move. The two palms moved back and forth, the wind and shadow of the sword, each with its own merits.Song Tengxiao's robe fluttered, and his swordsmanship was so light and agile!Duan Choushi thought to himself: "No wonder this man named Song is as famous as Meng Yuanchao in Xiaojinchuan. Although his swordsmanship is not as fierce as that of Meng Yuanchao's Shen Xiong, but his changes are strange and unpredictable. This is Meng Yuanchao again. His sword skills are unmatched." Song Tengxiao also secretly yelled "Ashamed"!I thought to myself: "I have a sword in my hand, but I can't beat his fleshy palms!" When the fight reached about half a stick of incense, Duan Choushi estimated that Song Tengxiao would not be able to overwhelm his senior brother no matter what, so he laughed and said: "Song Daxia, you want to fight me hard, I have no plan to fight you hard!" I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Speaking of the word "excuse me", Duan Choushi turned around and walked like the wind. He ran in the opposite direction to Bu Tiandiao's escape just now. oo. Song Tengxiao's lightness skill is not weaker than Duan Choushi's, but under such circumstances, if he ran to chase Duan Choushi, it would be running in the opposite direction of Bu Tiandiao and Yang Hua's direction, and the further he went, the further away he would be.For Song Tengxiao, my return to Yang Hua is the most important thing.What's more, "Even if I catch up with this guy, what's the point of me being even with him?" Song Tengxiao thought. Just when Song Tengxiao was undecided and still hesitating, in the blink of an eye, Duan Choushi had gone too far. Duan Choushi ran for a while, but Song Tengxiao didn't come after him, he thought to himself: "Brother Bu was born with a strange phase, don't let him frighten this child." He and Bu Tiandiao made an appointment to meet at a certain place, So I made a circle on the road and rushed to that place in a hurry. Bu Tiandiao ran away with Yang Hua on his arms, and Yang Hua shouted: "Ugly, let me go, let me go!" Bu Tiandiao said angrily, "You call me ugly, but I won't let you go!" Yang Hua said: "Okay, then I Don't scold me. You are a good person, let me go." Bu Tiandiao said: "You won't let me go unless you scold me. I am not a good person." Yang Hua started to be ruthless and shouted: "Okay, you bad guy, Let's see if you let it go." Suddenly he took a bite on Bu Tiandiao's furry arm.Bu Tiandiao couldn't prevent him from doing this, and was bitten bloody by him. He yelled "Ouch", and Yang Hua laughed out loud. Bu Tiandiao said angrily: "You nasty child, you still laughed after biting me, to show you how powerful I am!" Just as he was about to spank his butt, suddenly Duan Chou Shiru flew over and shouted: "Don't be frightened! child!" Although Bu Tiandiao is a senior brother, but because his knowledge of martial arts is not as good as his senior brother, he has always obeyed his junior brother's orders.He gave Duan Choushi a drink, and couldn't help but stop, but his anger still remained, and he said: "This kid is very nasty, how can we not teach him a lesson?" Duan Choushi smiled and said, "Senior Brother Bu, why bother with the child? This child is so stubborn, I like him!" Yang Hua said: "I don't want your joy, I want to go back and find Uncle Song." Duan Choushi patted the top of his head and said, "You can't find Uncle Song anymore, good boy, you are tired, don't be afraid, just sleep well." Before the words were finished, Yang Hua closed his eyes as expected, He fell asleep, and it turned out that Duan Choushi tapped his sleeping point when he didn't know it. Duan Choushi took Yang Hua from his senior brother, and said with a smile, "It's a good thing you didn't hit the child." Bu Tiandiao thought about it, and said: "That's right, we are going to take this child to seek revenge on Meng Yuanchao, of course we must not hurt him. Well, let's go back to find Meng Yuanchao right now, haha, tell him to report to each of us." Knock three times!" Duan Choushi suddenly said coldly: "No, let's go back to Cangshan Mountain!" Bu Tiandiao was taken aback for a moment, and said, "What, let's go back to Diancang Mountain now? Then don't you want to seek revenge from Meng Yuanchao?" Duan Choushi said slowly: "I want to take this kid as an apprentice. By the way, can you be his master too? Let's teach him together." Bu Tiandiao was annoyed in his heart, and said: "This child is very difficult to deal with. I only hugged him for a while, and I suffered from him, and I still want to accept him as an apprentice? Huh, I don't want to cause such trouble! But , please don’t blame me for my nonsense, I still want to ask you, I really don’t understand, why do you want to do this, is it really just to like this child?” Duan Choushi said: "First, I came here to like this child, and second, I came here for revenge." Bu Tiandiao scratched his head and said, "I'm getting more and more confused. How can you call it revenge when you raise the child for Meng Yuanchao?" "Don't worry, I'll tell you slowly." Duan Choushi said slowly: "Meng Yuanchao was imprisoned by the imperial court, and the four tigers in southern Yunnan who came to Meng Yuanchao's house that night before us were ordered by the imperial court , is coming to arrest him. You must know this too." Bu Tiandiao said: "The four tigers in southern Yunnan were defeated by Meng Yuanchao's junior sister and fled. I saw it with my own eyes. I also heard what they said. But what does it have to do with our affairs?" Duan Choushi said: "Later when we escaped from that garden, I found another person. You probably didn't pay attention, did you?" Bu Tiandiao escaped in a panic at that time, how could he be in the mood to pay attention to the movement around him, he couldn't help blushing when he heard what his junior brother said, and said, "I'm ashamed, I didn't feel it. Is that person following us?" Duan Choushi said: "No. He also escaped. The direction of escape is different from ours." Bu Tiandiao said: "Who is that person?" Duan Qiushi said: "It's Shi Chaoji, the deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army." Bu Tiandiao asked in surprise, "Is that the famous one-legged thief Shi Chaoji who used to be quite famous in Jianghu?" Duan Choushi said: "That's right, it is this person. He is also the boss of the Four Tigers in Southern Yunnan." Bu Tiandiao said: "It's strange. I heard that Shi Chaoji's ability is very good. Why does he stand by and watch? Oh, I understand. He must have seen us lose the battle. He was so frightened that he didn't dare to show up. Hmph, From this point of view, this person has earned his reputation, but is actually as timid as a mouse." Duan Choushi smiled and said: "That's not necessarily the case. However, we don't have to worry about what Shi Chaoji is planning. Meng Yuanchao is a prisoner of the imperial court, and he will never be at peace. Even if Shi Chaoji dare not provoke him, he will There will definitely be masters from Ouchi who will continue to come.” Bu Tiandiao laughed and said, "You've been talking for a long time, but I still don't understand. Why do you seem to be worried about Meng Yuanchao?" Duan Choushi said: "That's right, I'm really worried for him! It's better for him to be alone, but it would be bad if he brought this child with him." Bu Tiandiao said: "Oh, so you want to put a 'burden' on Meng Yuanchao's back, so that he won't be dragged down by the child." Duan Choushi smiled and said: "Brother, you are very smart this time, and your guess is not bad. But this child is really pleasing." Bu Tiandiao couldn't help scratching his head again, and said: "It's okay if you don't say it, but I'm even more confused if you say it. Don't you want to take revenge on Meng Yuanchao? But if you do this, Meng Yuanchao will be grateful for your kindness." Woolen cloth!" Duan Choushi smiled and said, "That's right, I just want my enemy to be grateful." Bu Tiandiao asked in surprise, "Why?" Duan Choushi said: "To make the enemy grateful, this is the best way to take revenge. You think, he originally regarded us as an enemy, but suddenly on such a day, we raised his child and taught him everything. Stunt skills, I brought him back to meet him. How embarrassing do you think he should be? Haha, and he can’t repay the favor he has received from us. Isn’t this kind of revenge enough?” Bu Tiandiao smiled and said: "Junior brother, your thinking is really weird. But since you want to do this, I have no choice but to follow you." Duan Choushi said: "We teach this child everything we have learned in our life, such as your spirit ape gait, when no one in the world can compare with you, this child learns your skills, that is also to make a name for you! " Bu Tiandiao's mind was very simple at first, after hearing what his junior brother said, he felt happy, and thought to himself: "That's right, my full martial arts, if I want to recover, I'm afraid it's hopeless in this life. An outstanding apprentice, I can also be rewarded." Suddenly got an idea, Bu Tiandiao burst out laughing.This smile made Duan Choushi a little baffled, and said: "Brother, what are you laughing at?" "I have an idea. Doesn't this kid know who his father is?" Bu Tiandiao said, "We don't need to tell him the truth. After he learns all our skills, let's ask him to go talk to Meng Yuanchao." Martial arts competition. Junior brother, in your opinion, this kid has the true inheritance of the two of us, so he will probably be able to beat his father, right?" Duan Choushi smiled and said: "Good! Good! I never thought you would come up with such a wonderful idea! This kid has learned all our skills, and he will definitely beat his father. At that time, Meng Yuanchao not only wanted to be grateful to us, He still admires us. Haha, his loss to our apprentice is even more glorious than our personal revenge and victory." Bu Tiandiao said: "But I'm worried that this kid's temper is too stubborn, I wonder if he will be our apprentice?" Duan Choushi said: "I don't think a child will hold grudges. As long as we treat him sincerely, he will definitely listen to us after a long time." Yang Hua was sleeping soundly, Bu Tiandiao touched his apple-like cheeks, feeling pity spontaneously, and said with a smile: "It's strange, I also think this little thing is a bit cute now, not so much I hate him. Junior brother, don’t rush to relieve his acupuncture points, let him sleep more, let’s take him back right now.” Whether Yang Hua is willing to be Cang Shuangsha's apprentice is something for another time, let's not show it for the time being, and let's talk about Song Tengxiao's experience first. When Diancang Shuangsha took Yang Hua away happily, it was the time when Song Tengxiao wanted to cry but was upset. Song Tengxiao dragged his heavy steps, step by step, on the road that Yun Ziluo walked the night before.This mountain village trail has also been walked countless times by him. "I lost their children, how can I go to see them? But the ugly daughter-in-law has to see Weng Gu!" Song Tengxiao let out a wry smile, and then thought: "I don't know the origin of those two weirdos, why? Want to snatch Yuan Chao's child? Yuan Chao is more familiar with martial arts characters than I am, so maybe he knows. But anyway, the matter is what it is, and I can only tell them clearly. Three people search separately, it is better than me alone It's much better for people to be helpless here." A dark cloud covered the moonlight, which was not so bright at first, and there was drizzle in the sky. Song Tengxiao quietly walked into the abandoned garden of Yun's family. After a while of rain and wind, this scene is just like the night when Song Tengxiao bid farewell to Yun Ziluo when he went to Xiaojinchuan. The scene of that night was as it is now, they stood side by side under the tea stand, Yun Ziluo listened to him quietly.The wind lamp at the corner of the eaves was swaying in the wind, while Yun Ziluo was listening to him, she unconsciously plucked off the roses and kneaded them gently in her palms.After finishing speaking, I saw petals on the ground. Song Tengxiao remembered that he came to Yun Ziluo with such enthusiasm that day. When Yun Ziluo refused the request to go to Xiaojinchuan with him, he just felt so cold in his heart! That night was a farewell, tonight is a return, but it is the same rainy night, the same mood! "The red building looks cold across the rain, and the beaded foil lanterns return alone." Song Tengxiao walked through the collapsed tea flower stand, feeling a sense of melancholy in his heart, and suddenly remembered these two lines of Li Yishan's (Shang Yin) poem.when he was young.Li Yishan's poems are what I like to read the most, and these two lines of poems fit the current situation and his state of mind so well! The abandoned garden was barren, and there were no swinging lanterns hanging from the corners of the eaves, but there was still a bright light in the corner of the small building.Outside the window, the rain was intertwined, making the color of the lamp strangely hazy. "Zi Luo should be in this small building with Yuan Chao." Song Tengxiao thought to himself. On the same rainy night, in the same mood, Song Tengxiao stood beside the collapsed cane trellis, staring at the lights of the small building in the drizzle, and suddenly shivered, his heart was icy cold. Is it the same mood?No, it should be said: his mood tonight is even more sad and sad than the night he broke up with Yun Ziluo.When he broke up with Yun Ziluo, although he was sad, he still had a hope.Today, hope has been disillusioned, and more shame and anxiety.Because he lost her and Yuan Chao's child. "Ugly Xifu always wants to see Weng Gu." Song Tengxiao smiled bitterly in his heart again, and finally approached the red building step by step. "Yuan Chao, Yuan Chao!" He coughed and called softly.He was afraid that Yun Ziluo was also in this small building, so he didn't dare to take the liberty of going up and entering the room. An unexpected thing happened, the window opened, revealing a girl's face.This woman is not Yun Ziluo.Looking at it from the side, it looks a bit like Lu Simi, but it's not Lu Simi! The only women who are acquainted with Meng Yuanchao are Yun and Lu, and Song Tengxiao knows this well.So who is this woman?Why did she hide in Meng Yuanchao's study? Song Tengxiao was astonished, the girl was like a "swallow through the curtain", jumped out of the window like a bird, skimmed over the railing, jumped down the stairs, and came to him. Song Tengxiao took a closer look, and it was indeed a strange woman he had never met before!This woman also showed a surprised expression just like him. "Who are you?" The two asked each other at the same time. "My surname is Song. I'm Meng Yuanchao's friend, and I came here specially to find him." "I'm also here to look for Meng Yuanchao. Oh, your surname is Song? Then you must be the Song hero Song Tengxiao who was with Meng Yuanchao in the Little Jinchuan Rebel Army?" Song Tengxiao was even more surprised, and said: "I don't seem to have seen you, girl, did you come from Jinchuan when you were young?" He thought: "Could it be that she is the female leader who joined the rebel army after I left, and served Leng Tieqiao?" Or did Xiao Zhiyuan come to find Yuanchao?" The woman smiled slightly and said: "I have never been to Xiaojinchuan, of course you will never see me." Song Tengxiao said: "Then please forgive me, I don't know if the girl can give her a name, and when did she meet Meng Yuanchao." The woman said: "My surname is Lin, and my name is Wushuang. I don't know Meng Yuanchao either." Song Tengxiao opened his eyes wide and said, "Then, you, you—" Lin Wushuang said: "You are wondering why I came to find Meng Yuanchao, right? I sent a letter for a friend." Song Tengxiao said: "Who is that person?" Lin Wushuang said: "This friend is also unknown to you, but you probably have heard of his name." This is really an unreasonable thing. A person who does not know Meng Yuanchao asks another woman who has never met Meng Yuanchao to deliver a letter! Song Tengxiao was extremely surprised, and said: "From Miss Lin's words, this person must be a well-established figure in the martial arts world. I wonder who it is?" Lin Wushuang said: "You are right, this man is the world-famous Jin Daxia, Jin Zhuliu!" Song Tengxiao couldn't help being surprised. It turns out that Jin Zhuliu is the son of Jin Shiyi, a great master of martial arts. His brother Jiang Haitian is recognized as the number one martial artist in the world. However, in recent years, some people say that Jin Zhuliu's martial arts has surpassed his senior brother. .In short, both Jiang Haitian and Jin Zhuliu were characters whom Song Tengxiao had admired for a long time. This girl turned out to be Jin Zhuliu's friend, Song Tengxiao couldn't help but look at her with admiration. However, Song Tengxiao still had a doubt in his heart. Jin Zhuliu and his senior brothers knew each other all over the world. Why did he ask a young woman to deliver a letter for him?Although the sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes do not avoid the suspicion of men and women, wouldn't it be more appropriate to entrust a man who had a slight relationship with Xiao Jinchuan's rebel army to deliver the letter? Of course it's inconvenient to ask her again, Song Tengxiao thought for a while and said, "It must be a very important thing for Daxia Jin to ask the girl to deliver a letter?" Lin Wushuang said: "Jin Zhuliu's wife is Shi Hongying, the leader of the Liuhe Gang. I am close friends with their husband and wife. Before coming here, I lived in their home for the past few months. "Song Daxia must know that the Liuhe Gang is the largest gang in Jianghu, with many eyes and ears, and well-informed. They got a reliable news, knowing that the masters sent by the Qing court will be harmful to your friend Meng Yuanchao. "The news said that the Qing government sent not one, but two groups of masters. One of them might be difficult for Daxia Meng to deal with. I live in their house and have nothing to do, so Mrs. Jin told me, anyway, you have nothing to do. , I’ll trouble you to go this way. If you run into that person, you can also deal with it for Hero Meng.” Lin Wushuang is an innocent girl like Lu Simi. Even though she is older than Lu Simi, she is even more unsophisticated than Lu Simi.It was what Jin Zhuliu and his wife had said to her.She said it without hesitation.These words sounded a little harsh to Song Tengxiao's ears. Song Tengxiao thought to himself: "Brother Meng can't deal with people, if you don't believe me, you can deal with them?" Song Tengxiao knew Meng Yuanchao's high-strength skills well, and Lin Wushuang seemed to be a girl of twenty-two or three-year-old at most, so of course he couldn't believe it. Lin Wushuang's ability will be higher than Meng Yuanchao. Song Tengxiao was a little unconvinced, so he immediately asked: "Who are the two groups of masters sent by the Qing court, and who is the most powerful among them? Liuhe Gang must have checked it out, can Miss Lin tell me?" Lin Wushuang said: "The first batch is Shi Chaoji, the deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army, and his Southern Yunnan Four Tigers." Song Tengxiao laughed, and said: "The four tigers in southern Yunnan, known as the 'Four Tigers', are just four sick cats in our eyes. I heard that Shi Chaoji's skills are good, but it doesn't mean that Brother Meng is difficult to deal with." Song Tengxiao was a somewhat arrogant person, and his words showed sharp edges and corners, but Lin Wushuang never thought that the sharp edges and corners in his words were aimed at her.She is a girl with no intentions. After listening to Song Tengxiao's words, she nodded in admiration, and said: "The heroic deeds of you two in Xiaojinchuan, Jin Daxia and his wife once told me that in your eyes, the four tigers in southern Yunnan Of course it can only be four sick cats." Song Tengxiao could see that she really admired him, but felt a little embarrassed, and quickly said: "We are like the sun and the moon compared with the golden hero, and the golden hero's admiration really makes me feel ashamed. But I don't know who the Qing court sent Who are the second batch of masters?" Lin Wushuang smiled and said: "There is only one person in the second batch. Actually, it cannot be called a 'batch'. I said it casually and used the wrong word." Song Tengxiao said: "Oh, there is only one person?" Lin Wushuang said: " Not bad. But this person is a very powerful person, much stronger than Shi Chaoji." Song Tengxiao said: "Who is that person?" Lin Wushuang hesitated for a while, then thought to himself: "According to Shi Hongying's tone, that person seems to be Biao Mou's teacher, but I can't tell for sure. Cousin and cousin don't want to let outsiders know about our family. If I say It’s not good to be wrong.” Song Tengxiao said: "Don't miss Lin know?" Lin Wushuang said: "I just heard what sister Shi Hongying said. She didn't tell me the name of that person." Song Tengxiao felt a little more surprised, and thought to himself: "I don't know what is the origin of this Miss Lin, but she is actually commensurate with Jin Daxia's wife, the leader and sister of the Liuhe Gang? Seeing that she is really an innocent girl, could it be her own?" He's worth a lot, right?" So he said, "Miss Lin, please forgive me for being so abrupt, since that man is so powerful, can Mrs. Jin feel relieved to let you deal with him?" With the shyness of a girl, Lin Wushuang smiled and said: "I know I'm not good at it, but sister Hongying encouraged me and told me not to be afraid, saying that I 'should' be able to deal with that person. I don't know what she said It’s true or not, but I lived with her for a few months, and when I saw the heroes in her gang, which one didn’t go through life and death to fight for justice? I think that since Sister Hongying entrusted me with such an important matter, I would cringe , how dare you be a guest of the Liuhe Gang. So I came here boldly." Lin Wushuang didn't know that Jin Zhuliu and his wife tried their best to encourage her to come, not only because she could deal with that person, but also for another reason.They wanted Lin Wushuang to take this opportunity to get acquainted with Meng Yuanchao.内里因由，以后再表。 宋腾霄听了她的这番说话，不禁也是暗暗佩服，心里想道：“她看来像是个不大懂事的年轻姑娘，却原来也是个外柔内刚的女中英杰呢！” 林无双接着说道，“而且我只是来通风报信，并不一定就会碰上那人。”言下之意，金夫人虽然说她可以对付得了那个高手，她自己却是并无把握。 宋腾霄此时已经知道她并非狂妄，只是不通世故而已，对她印象逐渐好转，便问她道：“你来了多久了？” 林无双道：“不到半个时辰。”宋腾霄问道：“没有见着孟元超么？”林无双道：“没有，不知他是业已离开还是偶然外出，我正想留一封信给他，你就来了。” 宋腾霄心想：“元超要等快活张给他带回来的消息，除非他已经见着了云紫萝，否则绝不会离家。”问道：“那么你可有碰见一个女子么？” 林无双道：“什么样的女子？” 宋腾霄道：“这女子名叫云紫萝，约莫二十七八岁年纪，穿着孝服的。” 林无双道：“我踏进这条山村的时候，倒是曾经碰见两个晚归的采茶姑娘，但你所说的那个女子，我可没有见过。” 宋腾霄好生失望，但紧张的心情却也因此暂时松了下来，因为他无须马上面临尴尬的局面了。宋腾霄暗自想道：“莫非他们已是远走高飞？” 林无双好似猜到了他的心意，说道：“我此来的目的，就是要告诉他将有灾祸临头，劝他远走高飞的。若是他已经走了，我倒是可以放下心了。就怕他只是偶然外出，尚未得到风声，还会回家。” 宋腾霄哈哈大笑道：“孟元超是天不怕地不怕的好汉子，他决不会畏惧有什么'灾祸临头'的。不过我也相信他是已经离开此地了。” 林无双诧然问道：“那又是为了什么？” 宋腾霄心想：“这个原因，我可是不便告诉你了。”正要砌辞搪塞，忽地隐隐听得远处有啸声传来，林无双面色倏变，说道：“不好，那人来了！宋大侠，你、你快躲起来吧！” 宋腾霄眉头一皱，道：“林姑娘，你为了一个不相识的朋友，尚且见义勇为，我与孟元超是生死之交，焉能置身事外？元超在这里的话，他一定不会躲起来的，我不能损了他的声名，纵然敌不过那人，也非得替元超接下不可。林姑娘，你的好意我心领了，我若是不成，你再上吧！” 林无双怔了一怔，心里想道：“我若然定要争先，他只当我是轻视他了。听这啸声，似乎来的当真是宗神龙？我且看看再说。” 啸声宛若龙吟，由远而近，初起时似在几里之外，转眼间，一个三绺长须的汉子已是出现在园子之中。长啸的声音，尚自震得耳鼓嗡嗡作响，当真是声到人到，声势吓人！ 林无双躲在假山石后面，定睛一看，看得分明，不由得暗暗吃惊，心道：“果然是宗神龙！”原来她与宗神龙同派而不同支，论辈份宗神龙是她表嫂的师公，也正是她的师叔。 宗神龙身形一现，便即喝道：“孟元超，有胆的出来与我比剑！” 宋腾霄飞身迎上，喝道：“你是什么人，胆敢来找孟大侠比剑？” 宗神龙冷笑道：“自称大侠，未免太过厚颜了吧？嘿，嘿，听说你到过大凉山，那么你没有见过我，也是应当知道我的了！老夫是扶桑派的宗神龙，竺尚父这老儿总应该和你说过吧？哼，我找你比剑，乃是抬举了你！” 宋腾霄是先离开小金川的，他离开小金川的时候，正是孟元超奉命到大凉山去联络一支义军之时。是以宗神龙所说的事情他根本就不知道。 原来竺尚父乃是大凉山的义军首领，以武学深湛，驰名天下，一向是被武林中人列名在十大高手之内的。但宗神龙与他比剑，却曾赢了他的一招。其时正是孟元超来到大凉山的不久之前。 不过宋腾霄虽然不知道宗神龙是何许人，却也听人说过扶桑派的剑术。但他只知道扶桑派有个掌门人名叫牟宗涛，和金逐流是好朋友。而且听说牟宗涛的剑术之精，也是不在当世数一数二的高手金逐流之下。 宋腾霄听了“扶桑派”三字，倒是不觉心头微凛，暗自想道：“牟宗涛的年纪据说不过三十多岁，这人的年纪比牟宗涛大得多，难道是他的本门前辈？听说扶桑派剑术奇诡莫测，倒是不可小觑了！” 宋腾霄是个心高气傲的人，尽管已是暗中戒备，把对方视同大敌，面上却是一副冷傲的神气，淡淡说道：“我只知道江湖上有个四海神龙齐建业，你是什么东西，冒用他老人家的名号？哼，我可从来没有听人说过有你这号人物！一条烂泥鳅，居然也敢兴风作浪！” “四海神龙”的“神龙”乃是齐建业的“浑号”，宗神龙的“神龙”则是正名，如今宋腾霄故意把这两者缠夹一起，说他根本不配与齐建业相提并论，这番说话，登时把宗神龙气得七窍生烟！ 宗神龙怒道：“好，叫你这无知的小子知道我厉害！”正要拔剑，忽然“咦”了一声，喝道：“你是谁？哼，原来你这小子才是冒牌的孟元超！” 原来宗神龙虽然没有见过孟元超，但却见过他的图像。只因月色朦胧，此时方始看出这个向他挑战的少年与图像并不相符。 宋腾霄纵声笑道：“我几时说过我是孟元超？大丈夫行不更名，坐不改姓，宋腾霄便是我，我便是宋腾霄！” “卡”的一声响，宗神龙把拔出了一半的宝剑，重又纳入剑鞘，冷笑说道：“一瓶醋不摇，半瓶醋才摇。原来你不是孟元超，这就怪不得你是如此不知天高地厚了。好，你既然不是孟元超，我就空手让你三招！” 孟、宋二人在小金川一向是齐名，宗神龙故意抬高孟元超，贬低宋腾霄，这正是以其人之道还治其人之身。 宋腾霄淡淡说道：“割鸡焉用牛刀，要对付你，本来就用不着孟元超。”话是这样说，心里已是老大的不舒服了。 宗神龙喝道：“废话少说，动手吧！” 宋腾霄喝道：“拔出剑来，谁要你让？” 宗神龙侧目斜睨，忽地挥袖朝宋腾霄面门一指，冷笑说道：“姓宋的小子，你不动手，我可不和你客气了！” 这一拂隐隐含有刀剑的招数，袖风拂面，竟似刀锋刮过一般，宋腾霄吃了一惊，沉不住气，唰的一剑便刺过去！一剑刺出，这才喝道：“好，我倒要看你如何空手让我三招？” 宋腾霄给宗神龙迫得用剑应付，面子上自是觉得有点难堪而已，宗神龙却是心中暗暗叫苦了。 宋腾霄的剑术以轻灵翔动见长，这一剑快如闪电，但却又是招里藏招，式中套式，在这电光石火的一瞬之间，宗神龙的七处大穴，都在他的剑尖袭击之下！ 宗神龙长袖一挥，劲风疾迫，宋腾霄剑尖稍稍一歪，宗神龙就在这间不容发之际，从他的剑光笼罩下，倏然窜出，宋腾霄亦是不敢轻敌冒进，当下止步不追，喝道：“亮剑吧！” 宗神龙险些给他刺中，吓出了一身冷汗，心里想道：“想不到这小子的剑术竟也这般了得，幸亏我说的只是让他三招。”但是否可以空手再应付宋腾霄两招凌厉的剑招，他在试了一招之后，亦是殊无把握。不过他以武林前辈的身份，既然夸下海口，当然也只好硬着头皮挺下去，当下沉声喝道：“还有两招，赶快动手！” 说到“动手”二字，宗神龙蓦然跃起，一招“游龙探爪”，以“龙爪手”，使出似掌非掌，似剑非剑的招数，疾抓如风，向着宋腾霄的脑门抓下！他本来是催宋腾霄动手的，结果却是他先行出手，这是以攻为守的战术，虽然严格说来，乃是有失前辈身份，也顾不得这许多了。 宋腾霄大喝道：“来得好！”一招“横云断峰”，迎着他的手臂斜削上去。 这一招因为是宗神龙先行抢攻，占了便宜，宋腾霄横剑斜削上去，他立即顺着剑势，一个搂膝绕步，反身以肘锤撞出，撞击宋腾霄的小腹。 宋腾霄使出穿花绕树身法，脚踏五行八卦方位，斜身一闪，长剑圈转，反刺他的右肩。 宗神龙喝道：“让你开开眼界！”双袖挥舞，忽地似两条长蛇般的窜啮宋腾霄面门，这一招“毒蛇吐信”，竟是双股剑的招数！袖风剑影之中，只听到“嗤”的一声，声如裂帛，两人倏的由合而分，各退三步！ 宗神龙的长袖被削去了一幅，面色发青。 宋腾霄低头一看，只见衣服上胸前的钮扣已给对方抓了一颗，亦是吓得心头卜卜乱跳！ 这霎那间，两人都是不出一声，过了半晌，忽地不约而同地发出了几声冷笑！ 宗神龙暗暗叫了一声“侥幸”，冷笑说道：“如何，我不是空手让你的三招了？” 宋腾霄心里道了一声“惭愧”，口里却也冷笑说道：“你的空手入白刃的功夫我已见识过了，每一招都是让你先行发招，也不见得你占得了我的便宜。” 武学之道，本来是各有所长，不拘一格，有的人擅用刀剑，有的人长于拳脚，“空手入白刃”在高手搏斗之中亦是司空见惯之事，值不得夸耀的。宋腾霄心里已知对方的本领在己之上，但他的脾气乃是七分倔强带着三分傲气，叫他向敌人认输，他是无论如何也不肯的，是以他心里虽然暗暗叫了一声惭愧，嘴里却故意这样说法。 他也并没有说错，刚才这三招以掌换剑，宗神龙的确是没有占到他的便宜。但宗神龙本来就不是以“空手人白刃”的功夫见长，虽然他是当今之世有数的剑术名家。 不过宗神龙以武林前辈自居，夸口要让对方三招，却给对方削去了他的衣袖，却是自觉无颜的了。 宗神龙恼羞成怒，冷笑说道，“我不与你斗嘴，空手三招，我已经让过你了，现在就让你见识见识我的剑法吧！”宋腾霄道：“我本来早就叫你亮剑的！” 宗神龙哼了一声，长剑一抖，剑尖震动，嗡嗡作响，喝道：“进招吧！” 宋腾霄不敢托大，说了一个“好”字，剑锋斜掠，使出了一招变化奇繁的招数。 宗神龙冷笑道：“米粒之珠，也放光华！”陡然间只见银光匝地，紫电飞空，他的一柄长剑，竟然幻出重重叠叠的剑影，饶是宋腾霄也是剑术高手，但在这一瞬之间，竟然无法判断他这一剑是从哪个方位刺来！ 幸亏宋腾霄练过穿花绕树的身法，而且他的剑术造诣，也确实不凡，虽然不识对方的路数，却也不至于轻易就给对方所算。 腾挪闪展，移位换招，几个动作，一气呵成，宋腾霄的变招也真说得上是“机警灵活”四字，从变化奇繁的攻敌招数，霎然间就变成了单纯防守的招数，这一招虽然看似简单，但在防守上却是无懈可击！ 躲在假山石后偷看的林无双，看到这里，也不由得暗暗赞了一个“好”字，心里想道：“记得红英姐姐和我说过，金大哥在第一次碰见我的表哥之时，也险些吃了亏，结果是打成平手。这位宋大哥从未见过我们扶桑派的剑法，居然能够抵挡这许多招，虽说宗神龙比不上我的表哥，但宋大哥的剑术，也可算是十分难得的了！” 想起了表哥，林无双不觉一阵迷茫，想道：“表哥成婚也已有三四年了，我可从来没有见过他们。不知他们也知道了我已经到了中原吗？有关表哥的讯息都是金大哥告诉我的，金大哥会不会把我的讯息也告诉表哥呢？但愿他不要在表哥面前提起我才好。” 林无双突然想起自己的心事，不知不觉对园中的剧战就没有这样留神了。 宋腾霄只守不攻，气力耗损较少，但虽然如此，过了三十招之后，亦是渐渐觉得有点力不从心了。 原来扶桑派的剑术，乃是唐代的武学大宗师虬髯客传至海外的，中原早已失传。是以和中原各家各派的剑术都不相同，但有若干剑式，它又与中原流行的剑式似是而实非。宋腾霄从未见过扶桑派的剑法，只觉它奇诡绝伦，瞬息百变，尤其那些与中原所传的剑术似是而非的招式，更是令宋腾霄大受迷惑！ 宗神龙屡攻不下，忽地一剑平胸直刺，宋腾霄正是应付得有些手忙脚乱的时候，见这一剑平胸刺来，似乎是天山派“大漠孤烟”的招数，一时无暇思索，长剑立即划了一道圆弧，还了一招“长河落日”。 “大漠孤烟直，长河落日圆。”本来以“长河落日”的“圆”，来化解“大漠孤烟”的“直”，在剑术中乃是最恰当不过的应招，不料宗神龙剑到中途，突然由直化圆，双方所划的剑圈互套，宗神龙的功力较高，大占便宜。 宗神龙大喝一声“撤剑！”瞬息之间，双剑轮绞，已是碰击了十七八下，宋腾霄受不住对方的力道，只觉长剑就要脱手飞去，慌忙一个“鹞子翻身”，倒纵出三丈开外，这霎那间只觉肩上一片沁凉，也不知是受了伤没有？ 宗神龙喝道：“哪里跑？”说时迟，那时快，已是如影随形地追上来了！
