Chapter 67 Chapter Sixty-Seven

Jiao Yun sighed and said, "I hope my suspicion is wrong, otherwise I'm afraid not only will we not have the chance to take revenge, but we will even lose our lives here?" The Taoist frowned and said, "It doesn't matter whether General Han wants to receive the merit alone, or he is willing to share it with Huang Zongbing. If the court transfers him from Dali, he must attack Xiaojinchuan. Even if Huang Zongbing loses The first battle was just a minor setback. I don't believe that the mob in Xiaojinchuan could resist the two armies of the imperial court! After breaking Xiaojinchuan, are you afraid that Meng Yuanchao will go to the sky? At that time, we will kill Meng Yuanchao first, and then we will join forces to deal with Duan Chou Shi, I will definitely avenge you for killing your brother! Hehe, just now I said that I have the ambition of the enemy, but now I see that you have destroyed your own prestige."

Yun Ziluo eavesdropped behind the ruined temple, and upon hearing this, she already knew a general outline.I thought to myself: "It turns out that Duan Choushi has already killed three of the 'Four Tigers in Southern Yunnan', and these two guys were sent to contact a 'General Han' from Dali to prepare for cooperation between the two armies. , who attacked Xiao Jinchuan. Strange, isn’t the ‘General Han’ they’re talking about the same ‘General Han’ that Cheng Xinyan killed? I’ve come here all the way from Dali, and I’ve never found any traces of the officers and soldiers. Where did the army come from?"

Of course Yun Ziluo would not know that this "General Han" was impersonated by Li Mazi.And Jiao Yun's suspicion was indeed completely wrong. One must know that although Li Mazi is good at changing his appearance.I will also imitate other people's accents, but this matter is related to the success or failure of the rebel army, after all, we must be cautious.How dare he get too close to Jiao Yun, who had met the genuine general before, and talk too much? But Yun Ziluo, who was eavesdropping outside the wall, was not most concerned about the authenticity of the "general", but the whereabouts of her son.Duan Choushi has already killed the three tigers of the Jiao family, has he snatched his apprentice back?

The heavy rain was still pouring down, Yun Ziluo continued to eavesdrop, and soon, the mystery was revealed. Jiao Yun smiled wryly and said: "Do you know that Duan Choushi and Bu Tiandiao's apprentice surnamed Yang is actually not Yang Mu's son, but Meng Yuanchao's own flesh and blood?" The Taoist said: "I knew it earlier, how about it?" Jiao Yun said: "If you can save this child and bring it here, we can use it to threaten Meng Yuanchao. Even if we can't avenge him, we don't need to worry about him doing harm." The Taoist said angrily: "Do you know that because of this child, I can no longer gain a foothold in the Kongtong Sect?"

Jiao Yun said: "What is the relationship between this child and your Kongtong faction?" The Taoist said: "Of course this little baby has nothing to do with our Kongtong sect, but Duan Choushi is a good friend of my senior brother Dan Qiusheng!" Jiao Yun was taken aback, and said, "I heard that Dan Qiusheng is the number one master of your Kongtong sect?" The Taoist said with a bitter face: "That's right, so even though he is not the head of the sect, the head of the sect has to listen to him. That day I snatched the child and ran away first. I originally wanted to send it to Kunming for Shi Chaoji, but unexpectedly, I stopped at Hongyapo on the way. When I ran into Dan Qiusheng, for some reason, he was so well-informed, he scolded me for stealing his friend's apprentice as soon as he saw me, if he didn't beg for mercy, his martial arts would almost be destroyed by him."

Jiao Yun said: "Ah, Dan Qiusheng snatched that child again?" The Taoist said: "Do I still dare to resist him? Of course he wants to go back. Not only that, but he also took the initiative to execute the precepts for the head of the sect, and expelled me from the Kongtong sect. Knowing that he will tell Duan Choushi, that's why I have no other way to go, so I had to follow Shi Chaoji to Xiaojinchuan. I didn't expect to meet you in the army, and I didn't expect Shi Chaoji to disappear again." Jiao Yun said: "I heard that Shi Chaoji went to investigate the military situation with Chu Tianxiong a few days ago, and he didn't come back. Given the high martial arts skills of the two of them, probably nothing will happen. It's too early to talk about disappearance."

The Taoist said: "There is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond people. Not to mention the leaders of the other party, Leng Tieqiao and Xiao Zhiyuan. In my opinion, Meng Yuanchao's martial arts will not be inferior to those two. What's so special about them having an accident?" Jiao Yundao: "If something happens to Shi Chaoji, we will lose our backer. I think staying here may be more dangerous than good. We'd better run away and find another backer." The Taoist said: "Meng Yuanchao is in Xiaojinchuan, don't you want to kill him for revenge?"

Jiao Yun said: "If Xiao Jinchuan is captured by the official army, the official army will kill him. In my opinion, we don't need to take back General Han's letter." The Taoist said: "This is not good, it hinders the important affairs of the court, didn't we help Xiao Jinchuan?" Jiao Yun said: "I can think of another way." But after much deliberation, he still couldn't think of a good way. Yun Ziluo already knew the whereabouts of her son, but she was impatient to listen to what they said.At that moment, they flew over the wall together, and said with a sneer, "You met me, do you still want to leave?"

Jiao Yun's shock was no small matter, he jumped up hastily, it was too late to speak, and soon, Yun Ziluo's sword pointed to his throat.With a "phoenix nod" from Jiao Yunhuo, the judge pen made a move of "jumping people to set fire to the sky", and parried upwards. With a sound of "dang", a gap was damaged in the judge pen in Jiao Yun's left hand, and he felt a chill on his scalp It turned out that it was Yun Ziluo's sword that sliced ​​across the top of his head, cutting off half of his hair. The Taoist sent by Kongtong yelled: "Where did the shrew come from, dare to do violence?" He drew his sword out of its sheath, and before he could make a move, he kicked a burning dry stick with his feet, Yun Ziluo turned sideways, a ball of flames Flying past her, it happened to land on Jiao Yun.

Yun Ziluo didn't bother to answer, she took the sword formula, spit out a green light, and immediately stabbed at the Taoist's chest.There is a saying in martial arts: "The sword is white, and the sword is black." It means that the sword should be used in a masculine way, which is suitable for direct confrontation, and the sword is bright; Don't step on the middle of the palace, and stab forward.Yun Ziluo used this style of play as soon as they met each other, which is simply a kind of contempt in the martial arts rules.The Taoist couldn't help being furious, and knocked down his long sword violently.Unexpectedly, Yun Ziluo's swordsmanship is amazing and unfathomable, this move was actually a false move, the Taoist stumbled, Yun Ziluo already made a "bending knee and hugging step", and went around to the right side of the enemy, her sword move suddenly changed, As fast as lightning, the green steel sword flicked upwards, and pointed at the enemy's right arm.There was only a sound of "嗤", the sleeve of the Taoist priest was cut by the sword, and a bloodstain was drawn on his arm.Fortunately, he dodged it properly, otherwise this arm would have been separated from his body.

Shocked and angry, the Taoist shouted: "What a cruel woman, who are you?" Jiao Yun "rolled a lazy donkey" on the ground, put out the fire, and just stood up at this time.Said: "This stinky bitch is Yun Ziluo." Yun Ziluo sneered and said: "You are about to die, you will be scolding!" The green steel sword stabs forward, the sound is loud, and with a move of "Baihong Piercing the Sun", the blade of the sword is actually stabbing at his open mouth. Going in, Jiao Yun's double pens blocked it, but Wu couldn't block it.Fortunately, the Taoist came to help quickly, and stabbed her long sword at the "Fengfu Point" on her back. , rushing away in a hurry, this is the only way to get out of the dangerous situation.But before he could return the move, Yun Ziluo forced the Taoist back with one move, and pointed at his chest with the second move.He really followed him like a shadow, he didn't even stand firm on his heels! The Taoist priest's long sword was draped horizontally, and the two swords struck together, resisting together, Fang Shi barely withstood Yun Ziluo's offensive.Jiao Yun shouted loudly: "What a stinky bitch, I will fight with you!" Yun Ziluo's lightness kung fu is much higher than his, which he has learned before.He knew that it was impossible to escape, so he decided to bite the bullet and fight Yun Ziluo with all his might.The Taoist priest also had the same thought, although Yun Ziluo would not be defeated by the desperate efforts of the two of them, it would be difficult for them to win due to their eagerness. One must know that Yun Ziluo traveled a long distance after giving birth, just one month old.She came from Sanhe County in the north to Xiaojinchuan in the south. She traveled thousands of miles and worked hard all the way. Her body has not been well nursed after giving birth. No matter how good her martial arts are, her health will inevitably be affected to some extent.Jiao Yun and the Taoist joined forces to defend. Before thirty moves, they could only parry. After thirty moves, they stabilized. After fifty moves, they gradually lost the power to fight back.Yun Ziluo's swordsmanship gradually became sluggish, and she seemed to be quite powerless! The Taoist exclaimed with great joy: "This stinking woman is exhausted, let's work harder and kill her!" Yun Ziluo gritted her teeth, and thought: "It seems that I have to fight them desperately!" During the fight, Judge Jiao Yun's pen was divided into left and right, "Two winds piercing ears", and the left pen was empty on Yun Ziluo's face. , the right pen pointed directly at her Huagai acupoint.Yun Ziluo's body flickered, and the opponent's pens were empty, she seized the opportunity, and stabbed with a sword.This move was originally extremely subtle, but it was a pity that her strength was a little short, and the point of the sword missed the opponent's vitals by three inches.Experts fight for only a hair's breadth, it's too late, and then it's too late, Jiao Yun's judge's pen has already pointed towards her "Yuntai acupoint", and the Taoist priest of the Kongtong sect draws a circular arc with his long sword, and quickly draws her Her figure circled.This move has a name, it is called "jade belt apron", and it is the secret of Kongtong School's unique swordsmanship. The Taoist only said that she was determined to escape, and exclaimed overjoyed: "Abolish her martial arts, save her life!" He wanted to capture her alive and use it to threaten Meng Yuanchao.Unexpectedly, at this instant, Yun Ziluo let out a clear whistle, she pulled her body up on the ground, and her bow shoe stepped on Jiao Yun's judge's pen, which was pushed in by Jiao Yun, and her whole body tumbling Arise, swift as birds! It was too late, but soon, Yun Ziluo flew over Jiao Yun's head, and before her feet landed, she used the unique move of "White Rainbow Piercing the Sun", stabbing down in the air.Jiao Yun quickly retracted his head, and crossed the judge's pen to protect the top door.Unexpectedly, Yun Ziluo's sword used all her strength, and it came down from above, the sword was extremely fierce.Jiao Yun's pens were knocked and shaken by the green steel sword. Although Yun Ziluo's sword tip did not pierce his head, his judge's pen was shaken backwards and stuck into his own head. The Taoist priest heard Jiao Yun's heart-piercing screams before he died, and was so frightened that his soul flew away. How could he have fighting spirit?Turn around and run away. Yun Ziluo sneered and said: "Aren't you going to abolish my martial arts?" Flying forward, she stabbed him in the back with a move of "Jade Girl Throwing a Shuttle". The Taoist priest felt the sound of the golden blade chopping the wind behind him, knowing that he was invincible, he instinctively blocked it with a backhand sword, with a sound of "Dang", the Taoist priest's long sword broke in two, was hit on the back, and ran wildly injured. Yun Ziluo chased out of the temple gate, wounded the Taoist priest with a sword, and was about to use the lightness kung fu of "Swallows copying water three times" to chase after her, when she staggered suddenly and nearly fell down. It turned out that she killed Jiao Yun just now, her strength was exhausted, she was at the end of her strength, and it was hard to continue. Yun Ziluo took a deep breath, and thought to herself: "This evil way has already been injured, and if I fight against each other, I can kill him even if I don't have enough strength. He is a rescuer for the Qing army, I can tolerate it." He can't." So he chased after him. At this time, the rain has lightened a lot, but it has not stopped.The sky is as dark as ink, and I can't distinguish my fingers when I stretch out my hand.But after the Taoist was injured, his steps were heavy.Yun Ziluo followed his footsteps and ran to chase him. The mountain road is already rugged, and after the heavy rain, the road is even more slippery and difficult to walk.The Taoist stepped into the air and rolled down the hillside.Yun Ziluo shouted: "Where are you going?" She was about to quicken her pace and go over to end his life.Suddenly a black figure jumped out from the pile of rocks next to her, and slashed at her with a knife. Yun Ziluo was used to battles, she would not be chaotic in the face of danger, she quickly returned a move of "Xuanniao slashing sand", the man praised: "Good swordsmanship!" Block Yun Ziluo's way.Yun Ziluo's mouth shook, and the Qingsteel sword could hardly be grasped firmly! The man shouted: "Come on!" Not only shouted, but also fired a snake flame arrow. The snake flame arrow was used as an alarm at night. A stream of blue flames rose into the air. All can see. Yun Ziluo attacked seventeen or eight swords in a row like a storm, and the man could also distinguish the weapon by listening to the sound, and parrying her sharp sword moves in the dark night was not chaotic at all, and he resolved them one by one. Yun Ziluo was startled and amazed at the same time, she thought to herself: "Even if my strength is not exhausted, I'm afraid I may not be able to defeat him. I never imagined that there is such a master in the Qing army. But why does he seem to be let I scored three points, did I not try my best?" At this time, Yun Ziluo moved his sword like the wind, and had already attacked him with forty or fifty strokes. The man only defended but did not attack. Solve the formula, keep it tight.But Yun Ziluo wanted to jump out from beside him, but he always stopped her. In the first few moves, the man probably didn't know how strong Yun Ziluo was, and he had no choice but to deal with it seriously because he was intimidated by her exquisite swordsmanship.After several moves, he had already noticed that Yun Ziluo's strength was not increasing, so the strength he used also weakened accordingly. Not long after the man's Snake Flame Arrow was shot, there was indeed a small group of Qing cavalry galloping towards them. Looking down from the mountain, one could see criss-crossing lights, which were lanterns in their hands. In the dark forest on a rainy night, the mountain road is slippery, they don't know how many enemies are ambushing up there, but they dare not go up the mountain, only dare to shout at the bottom of the mountain. Kongtong sent the Taoist priest Gululu to roll down the hillside, shouting, "I'm here, come and save me!" Yun Ziluo's opponent saw the officers and soldiers coming to the foot of the mountain, and the Taoist priest was not dead yet, so he breathed a sigh of relief, made a false move, and said in a low voice, "Nv Xia Yun, please follow me!" Turned around and ran away.The strange thing is that he didn't run to the place where there was a fire below the mountain, but ran into the dark woods.While running, she shouted: "Oh, what a powerful thief, help, help!" She hoarse as much as she could, pretending to be injured. Yun Ziluo became suspicious, and thought to herself: "This manpower is more than me, he wants to harm me, so there is no need to lay a trap. Okay, let's see what kind of mystery he is doing?" Listening carefully to the sound of the horses trampling the ground gradually Going to Jianyuan, it is expected that the Qing army has rescued the Taoist priest, but they dare not go up the mountain, so they withdraw the team and return to the camp. When he got to the depths of the dense forest, the man said: "Okay, let's stay here." He rubbed the flint to let Yun Ziluo see his face clearly, and the rain had stopped at this time. I saw that this man was about thirty years old, and he was wearing Qing army uniforms. Yun Ziluo didn't dare to relax her guard, she pressed her sword and asked, "Who are you?" The man said: "My name is Liu Kang, and I am a good friend of Meng Yuanchao. Miao Changfeng and I also know each other. I heard that he is with Xia Xia Yun, but why can't I see him?" Yun Ziluo was taken aback, half-believing in her heart, and said coldly: "I heard that Liu Kang is a good man, why did you work for the Tartars?" The implication was, of course, she didn't believe that he was the real Liu Kang. . The man said: "No wonder Yunvxia is suspicious. This matter is a long story. Let me tell Yunvxia a piece of news first." Yun Ziluo said: "What news?" The man said: "Brother and sister Wuduan have come to Xiaojinchuan. Wuzhuang told me that she is in Dali to be taken care of by Yunvxia. I am also very grateful to get such care from Yunvxia. Wu Zhuang only said that you and Miao Daxia will not come to Xiaojinchuan, so although she is happy to see me, she still feels that there is a fly in the ointment!" These remarks sounded like "gossip", but they were actually used by Liu Kang to prove his identity.He regarded himself as Wu Zhuang's fiancé, and he could tell what Yun Ziluo said when he broke up with the Wu brothers and sisters. According to common sense, Wu Zhuang would never say anything to anyone except his fiancé. Only then did Yun Ziluo believe it, and said: "The Taoist priest and Jiao Yun, one of the four tigers in southern Yunnan, went to fetch the rescuers. I killed Jiao Yun, and the Taoist priest couldn't escape. I don't know why Hero Liu To save him." Liu Kang smiled and said: "To be honest, I was ordered by the two leaders, Xiao and Leng, to protect them. Fortunately, you only killed Jiao Yun. If you also kill this Taoist priest, then Oops." Yun Ziluo was puzzled and said, "Why?" Liu Kang said: "He has an official letter from Dali's 'General Dingbian' on his body. This official letter is to invite that Huang Zongbing to join the army. We must let this official letter be delivered to the enemy commander." Yun Ziluo asked in surprise: "Didn't the 'General Dingbian' surnamed Han in Dali be killed by Cheng Xinyan? Cheng Xinyan and his daughter came to Xiaojinchuan with the Wu brothers and sisters, don't you see their father and daughter?" Is it?" I thought that even if I didn't see him, Wuzhuang should have told him about it. Liu Kang smiled and said, "That's right, the real 'General' was killed, and our fake 'General Han' was impersonated by Li Mazi." Only then did Yun Ziluo suddenly realize, and said: "Oh, so you are trying to lure the enemy into being fooled." Liu Kang said: "This secret is not known to all our brothers, especially the brothers who are far away from Dazhai. And recently, there are often chivalrous friends who defect to Xiao Jinchuan. I am afraid there will be accidents. That's why I was ordered to 'protect' them secretly to ensure that the official letter reaches the enemy's hands safely, so that everyone can rest assured." After Yun Ziluo understood the ins and outs, she said with a smile: "I see, I almost ruined your important business." Liu Kang asked again: "Has Hero Miao come?" Yun Ziluo has not answered his question yet. Yun Ziluo suppressed the grief in her heart, and said, "Changfeng is not coming, and I don't plan to stay in Xiaojinchuan for a long time. After your victory, I will leave after seeing Meng Yuanchao." Liu Kang felt a little strange, but he and Yun Ziluo had just met, so it was inconvenient to exchange words, so he said immediately: "Yuan Chao is not in Dazhai, and he is probably fighting with the Qing army these two days. Are you eager to see me?" him?" Yun Ziluo said: "I already know that he is not in Xiaojinchuan. I just heard some news about him. It was Jiao Yun and the Taoist who told him about it." Liu Kang said, "What happened to him?" Yun Ziluo said: "I heard that he won a battle, but he was also injured." Liu Kang was taken aback and said, "Really?" Yun Ziluo said: "They said this, they didn't see it with their own eyes, and I don't know if it's true or not." Liu Kangdao: "If brother Meng is injured, I should go to see him. But I have official duties, so I must rush back to the original defense line, and prepare to wipe out the Qing soldiers who came to 'join forces'. Li Mazi can only As a fake general, you can't command military affairs. Xia Yun, I have to trouble you to go this way for me and take care of him." Yun Ziluo said: "Is Lin Wushuang, the head of Fusang Sect, here?" Liu Kang said: "He has already come, but now she is with Lu Simi, staying in Xiaojinchuan to train female soldiers, not by Yuan Chao's side." Yun Ziluo said: "Okay, please tell me how Yuan Chao's battle site should be moved." Liu Kang said: "Go west from here, turn over a mountain in front, about sixty or seventy miles away, there is a valley called Calabash Valley, where Yuan Chao is lying in ambush." ​​He was afraid that Yun Ziluo was not clear enough, While talking, he broke a branch and drew her a map on the wet soil. There was light in the dark woods, and before I knew it, it was the next morning.After the rain, the sky cleared and the sun in the east began to rise. After Yun Ziluo and Liu Kang broke up, they set off alone again. The rain was over and the sky was sunny, but her mood was still cloudy. "I already know that Hua'er is fine, so I went to see him, isn't it superfluous?" "But what if he is really injured, if Lin Wushuang is not by his side, who will take care of him?" Finally, she put aside the worries in her heart, faced the rising sun, and quickened her pace. After walking sixty or seventy miles on the mountain road, I didn't meet the Qing soldiers, I didn't meet the rebels, and I didn't see anyone. The valley was surprisingly quiet, and Yun Ziluo felt an ominous omen. Calabash Valley finally arrived, and in front of her, there was a tragic scene on the battlefield after the fight. Countless corpses fell on the ground in disorder, and the blood stained the yellow sand and green grass red. It hadn't condensed yet, and slowly flowed forward on the ground. The smell of blood made her want to vomit.There are groups of crows hovering above their heads, as if they are going to a feast. "Yuan Chao, Yuan Chao!" Yun Ziluo yelled loudly. No one answered, and she did not find Meng Yuanchao among the corpses. Did he go back after the ambush was successful, or was he seriously injured and hid in a corner of the battlefield that she hadn't seen, or—oh, what she didn't even dare to think about, had already killed himself? She went deep into the investigation from the mouth of the valley, and some horses fell dead by the roadside, some knives and guns were scattered all over the ground, some flags were abandoned in the mud, and some blood stains stretched intermittently like a line towards the mountain... Gradually, the corpses were not found, and the blood line was still moving forward. stretch.She still hasn't found her Meng Yuanchao. Deep in the dense forest, Meng Yuanchao gradually became conscious and woke up like a dream but not a dream. The wild grass taller than a man's head and the branches piercing the sky caught his eyes, like countless spears and swords; in the dark jungle, it seemed that thousands of troops and horses were galloping.Of course, this was just his hallucination, but in fact it was just the noise of crows. Like a dream but not a dream, the sounds of weapons colliding, the wailing of war horses, and the shouts of fighting, are in a trance, faint and far away, and seem to be undulating between the mountains and fields. "Am I still alive? What is this place?" He remembered that he was the commander who was chasing and killing the enemy army, and he was hit by the enemy's bow and arrow. "That Huang Zongbing is very capable of fighting, but he was finally defeated by us." Meng Yuanchao laughed from his heart, but he couldn't move.He didn't know how long he had been unconscious. "Where are my brothers, why is there no one? Are they continuing to hunt down the enemy?" He didn't know that the sniper battle was already over. His army had defeated five times more enemy soldiers, and the casualties were not small. In order to prevent the main force of the enemy from coming to help, they had already retreated.On that pitch-black battlefield, it was impossible to find every wounded comrade in arms. His comrades thought that he was highly skilled in martial arts and had already broken through.They retreated back to Xiaojinchuan from different directions according to the original plan. "Water, water!" Meng Yuanchao felt smoke coming from his throat.A wounded person does not feel hunger, but thirst is very painful.He groaned weakly, hoping only for a drop of nectar to moisten his throat. Thirst is really uncomfortable, this is a torture worse than death.Meng Yuanchao had been injured many times before, and one injury might even be worse than this time.He was in a coma for three days and two nights before waking up, but as soon as he woke up, his junior sister Lu Simi was by his side to serve him, and he had already applied the painkiller Jinchuang medicine for him.You don't need him to speak, just give him water to drink.But now he was lying alone in a pool of blood, not to mention people around him, not even the shadow of wild animals.Because they were already scared away by the fighting of the army two days ago.The barren hills are silent, except for the occasional crows that fly overhead.Fortunately, he hadn't turned into a corpse yet, and he was the only one injured here, and there were no other corpses.Otherwise those crows would come down and peck him too. "Water, water, I want water!" His throat gurgled, but he couldn't cry out.But what's the use of screaming, no one will hear him at all. "It would be great if Wushuang was by my side!" Meng Yuanchao thought to himself.Lin Wushuang was supposed to join him in this battle, but he forced her to stay in Xiaojinchuan.Because the danger of this battle had already been expected, he didn't want Lin Wushuang and him to take the risk.But now he couldn't help thinking of her. "Wrapping a corpse in horse leather, that's what a soldier should do!" Meng Yuanchao thought to himself, "As long as I can defeat the enemy, what regrets do I have?" Do you really have no regrets?In an instant, all the experiences of his life flooded into his mind. "I don't know where Ziluo is now, but I hope she and Brother Miao can die together. She has suffered a lot in her life, and it's all because of me. If she gets happiness, I can die without regret. " The wound is hurting, the throat is smoking, and the mind is thinking wildly.Meng Yuanchao felt more and more uncomfortable, and finally couldn't bear the torment of pain, and his mind gradually became confused again. "Water, water, I want water!" After being in a daze for an unknown amount of time, a miracle happened, and Meng Yuanchao felt cool all over his body, as if a sweet spring had flowed into his mouth. It was indescribably comfortable! Meng Yuanchao opened his eyes vigorously, but his sanity had not yet recovered, and he could only see a blurry figure in front of him.The man gently stroked his face and whispered in his ear: "Brother, brother, wake up!" The voice is so familiar, who is it?But he could already feel that it was a woman's gentle hand that was touching him. Is it Lu Simi?Is it Lin Wushuang?He opened his eyes vigorously again, and finally recognized that it was not Lu Simi, not Lin Wushuang, but Yun Ziluo who was completely unexpected!Yun Ziluo was still missing him when he thought he was going to die! How is this possible?Meng Yuanchao was skeptical and thought he was dreaming.Yun Ziluo waited for a long time before he woke up.But seeing his eyes seemed to be confused, as if he couldn't even recognize himself.Yun Ziluo was both happy and heartbroken, put down the kettle, and said, "Okay, you're awake. Look who I am, I'm Ziluo!" It really wasn't a dream anymore, Meng Yuanchao's heart skipped a beat, and he shouted with all his strength: "Ah, Ziluo, it really is you!" Unfortunately, even though he exhausted all his strength, he still couldn't make a sound, Yun Ziluo could only hear his throat cooing. Yun Ziluo said softly: "Brother, don't talk, I will heal your wounds." She had already washed the wounds, and immediately pulled out the two sharp arrows stuck in Meng Yuanchao's body with skillful techniques, and covered them with gold. innovative medicine.There was a smile on the corner of Meng Yuanchao's mouth, and he didn't even hum.But Yun Ziluo couldn't help being frightened, she thought to herself: "Brother Meng is really a good man, if this arrow is shot a little bit wrong, I'm afraid it will penetrate into his heart." Yun Ziluo chewed up a bag of fried rice found from the dead body and fed him, and gave him a few sips of water.Meng Yuanchao regained a little bit of strength, and said, "Ziluo, thank you for saving my life, where is Miao, brother Miao?" The voice was as thin as a mosquito, but Yun Ziluo could vaguely hear it. Yun Ziluo said: "Brother, don't be so busy talking, listen to me." Covering Meng Yuanchao with a military blanket, he said: "Our Hua'er is with Dan Qiusheng, a Taoist priest of the Kongtong School. Chou Shi's good friend, Duan Chou Shi has already gone to him. They all love Hua'er, Hua'er will definitely grow up to be a great man. Brother, you don't need to worry." Meng Yuanchao already knew that Duan Choushi robbed his son as his apprentice, but he didn't know who Dan Qiusheng was.Hearing Yun Ziluo's words, he only thought that Duan Choushi temporarily entrusted his apprentice to his friend to take care of him, he felt a little strange, and thought to himself: "Ziluo should know that I can safely entrust the child to Duan Choushi. " But he was really exhausted, unable to think with God.What he wants to know now is where is Miao Changfeng, is he already here with Yun Ziluo?Yun Ziluo didn't tell him. "Is she afraid that I will be jealous, so she didn't tell me about them? Or did she not hear me asking her at all? In fact, if she really fell in love with Brother Miao, I would only be happy for them." Meng Yuanchao thought think. Yun Ziluo said: "Brother, you are too tired. You should have a good rest and don't think about anything. Listen to me, close your eyes and go to sleep." Meng Yuanchao only hoped to see her more, his sleepy eyes were still opening. Yun Ziluo smiled and said: "You said you listened to me, why don't you listen again? I'll sing you a tune, you go to sleep obediently, go to sleep." Yun Ziluo sang softly: "After Qunfang passed, the West Lake is good. The mess is red, flying catkins are misty, and the weeping willows are exhausted by the sun's wind. After all the tourists are gone, I feel the spring sky, and the curtains hang down. The two swallows return in the drizzle." This is one of the ten small orders chanting the West Lake written by Ouyang Xiu (the name of the Ci tablet is "Picking Mulberry"). It was also sung by Yun Ziluo on the boat when they were boating in the West Lake. Meng Yuanchao was in a trance, as if he had returned to the old days.He and Yun Ziluo and Song Tengxiao went to the lake after the rain, Yun Ziluo sang softly, Song Tengxiao played the flute to accompany him, only he didn't say a word, but he was in love with Yun Ziluo. "There is no wind and the glass is slippery on the surface of the water, and the boat does not feel the movement, and there are slight ripples."How wonderful this state is! "But why did she choose this song alone to sing? After all the fragrances are gone, it will be ruined and red. Although the West Lake is good, the good times will never stay. Could it be that she wants to tell me: there are no flowers in the world that will never thank you, and there is no meaning for a feast that will never end. ?” Yun Ziluo continued to sing, it was Huang Tingjian's little order "Qing Ping Le": "Where does spring return, and there is no way to travel in loneliness. If someone knows where spring is going, call him back to live with him. If there is no trace of spring, no one will know, unless you ask the oriole. No one can understand the hundred songs, because the wind flies past the roses." The song really sounded like an oriole out of the valley, Meng Yuanchao was so enthralled by it that he didn't think about the meaning in the words.Unknowingly close your eyes. Yun Ziluo smiled and said: "You told me before that the spring in Xiaojinchuan is not inferior to Jiangnan, and now I believe it. If I were born a few hundred years earlier, I would tell Huang Tingjian that it is not that no one knows where spring goes. Spring comes from Jiangnan Little Jinchuan is here." Suddenly realizing that Meng Yuanchao had fallen asleep, she lost her mind for a while, and crystal clear tears welled up from the corners of her eyes.This scene and this situation are vaguely past.But at this moment, whether she felt happiness or bitterness, even she herself didn't know.It's just that Meng Yuanchao is already asleep, so she doesn't have to force a smile on him. The sky was getting darker, and although the setting sun was almost dusk, her mood also darkened along with the sky. Like a stone statue, she had been sitting beside Meng Yuanchao in a daze. Suddenly there was the footsteps of Konggu breaking through the silence of the barren mountain, waking her up from her confusion. Are the enemy soldiers here, or Xiao Jinchuan's brothers?Yun Ziluo thought for a while, and jumped up quickly.If it was the enemy who came, she couldn't let Meng Yuanchao find out for them.But it was too late, those two people came so fast, when she was startled, they had already reached the top of the mountain. The two sides met face to face, and they were both surprised.It turned out that it was Lian Ganpei and Master Yan Yan who came, both of them are first-class masters under Bei Gongwang's subordinates! Lian Ganpei once suffered from Yun Ziluo on the West Dongting Mountain, and when he thought of her fierce sword moves afterwards, he still had lingering fears.I couldn't help but be surprised when I met him suddenly at this time.It was too late to say, but soon, Yun Ziluo stabbed at him with a sword. This sword was fast and ruthless, and there was only a proper sound, and even the judge pen in Gan Pei's right hand was tilted to one side. Face to face.Although Lian Ganpei is not her opponent, and his martial arts are not ordinary, in his busy schedule, he used a "big bend, slanting willow" body technique, avoiding the move and advancing the move, and returned a move of "horizontal golden beam", violently Hit her sword. Yun Ziluo knew that she was weak, so she had to make a quick decision to defeat the enemies one by one, so as to protect Meng Yuanchao's safety.The last time she was in West Dongting Mountain, she was able to defeat Lian Ganpei only after fifty moves, so of course he couldn't be allowed to make another fifty moves at this time.In order to be eager to win, Yun Ziluo took the risk to highlight a strange move, pulling her body up flat, and with a move of "Peng Fight Nine Heavens", stabbing down in the air! Monk Yanyan walked behind, a little further away from Yun Ziluo. Just as Yun Ziluo was attacking Lian Ganpei, he happened to find Meng Yuanchao lying on the ground.He and Lian Ganpei were ordered by General Huang to search for Meng Yuanchao.Huang Zongbing was injured and fled that day, and was almost captured alive by Meng Yuanchao.But he also saw that Meng Yuanchao had been shot by an arrow, and he expected that Meng Yuanchao would also be seriously injured, but he was afraid that Meng Yuanchao was too skilled to die, so he sent two experts to search the battlefield again. Monk Yanyan suddenly found Meng Yuanchao. The joy was no small matter. He didn't care that his companions were fighting fiercely with the enemy, so he ran over immediately and laughed: "I found it, I found it! Haha, haha! That's right, it really is! This boy Meng Yuanchao!" Yun Ziluo stabbed down with a sword in the air, which could have stabbed Lian Ganpei's head, causing him to be seriously injured if he didn't die. Suddenly, he heard Monk Yan Yan's wild laughter, and his heart was shocked, and the sword was cut crooked. Even though it was shaved crookedly, Jian Feng almost shaved Lian Ganpei's scalp, cutting off half of his hair. Lian Ganpei rolled on the ground and jumped up, feeling a chill on his scalp, scared out of his wits, fearing that Yun Ziluo would take advantage of the victory and pursue him, he hurriedly shouted: "Master Yanyan, hurry, come and save me!" Only then did Monk Yanyan forget about the importance of rescuing his companions, and thought to himself: "I'm confused. Judging by Meng Yuanchao's appearance, I'm afraid he's dead. Even if he doesn't die, he's still seriously injured. Are you afraid that he can escape?" With a thought, he turned around to rescue Lian Ganpei. Yun Ziluo was even more afraid that Monk Yanyan had hurt Meng Yuanchao, so how could she have time to take Lian Ganpei's life?She ran towards Meng Yuanchao, while Monk Yan Yan ran towards her, and they bumped into each other. Monk Yan Yan practiced the Fire Dragon Kung Fu, with one palm, the hot wind howled, and Yun Ziluo was almost suffocated by it, but she still rushed to attack. 剑走轻灵，云紫萝脚踏穿花绕树的步法，使出变化莫测的剑术，虚虚实实的一口气攻了炎炎和尚十多招，突然由虚化实，一招“白鹤剔翎”，剑挟寒风，刺他胸口的“璇玑穴”，炎炎和尚收掌护胸，云紫萝倏的变招，剑锋斜指，刺向他的掌心。这一招的变化十分奇妙，是从炎炎和尚意想不到的方位刺来的。 只听得“嗤”的一声，炎炎和尚的袈裟穿了一洞。这还幸亏是他躲闪得快，否则只怕掌心也要给利剑刺穿。炎炎和尚练的独门功夫，掌心的“劳宫穴”正是他真气积聚之处，“劳宫穴”倘给刺穿，真气渲泄，他的火龙功就要废掉了。 炎炎和尚吓出一身冷汗，骂道：“好狠的婆娘！” 连甘沛忽地叫道：“大师不用担忧，这臭婆娘虽然凶狠，气力却是快要用完啦！最多不过五十招，咱们一定可以擒她！”原来连甘沛在惊魂稍定之后，这才省起云紫萝和他两次交手的不同之处。这次的招数虽然比上次更为狠辣，但仍然伤不了他。连甘沛本来是个武学行家，把先后两次的交手一加比较，立即发现了云紫萝的气力已是远远不及从前。于是他也大着胆子退而复上，与炎炎和尚联手夹攻云紫萝了。 炎炎和尚试了几招，哈哈笑道：“连老弟，你说得不错，这臭婆娘不行啦！不过这臭婆娘虽然凶狠，长得倒是标致。俺出家人慈悲为怀，倒是舍不得伤一个如花似玉的娘儿呢。” 连甘沛跟着笑道：“出家人也有怜香惜玉之心，连某岂能没有？嘿嘿，云紫萝，我劝你还是投降了吧，这次可不比是在西洞庭山，没有缪长风来给你做帮手了。” 炎炎和尚笑道：“她倒是还有一个姘头在这里，可惜她这个姘头孟元超却是半死不活，帮不了她的忙啦！”两人一唱一和，想把云紫萝气得急怒交加，他们就更容易取胜。 云紫萝咬牙苦斗，炎炎和尚看出有机可乘，一个“游空探爪”，向她抓下，便想把她活擒。不料云紫萝忽地喝道：“着！”剑光疾闪，迎着他的手臂便削。原来这是云紫萝故意卖的一个破绽。 可惜她毕竟吃了气力不济的亏，这一剑只是把炎炎和尚小指的一节指头削掉，长剑就给连甘沛的判官笔架开了。不过虽然只是削掉一节指头，那阵剧痛也够炎炎和尚受了。 炎炎和尚本来想把她活擒，不料反而给她伤了一指，大怒之下，运足了火龙功，呼的一掌，猛劈过去！云紫萝已是心力交疲，哪里还能禁受这样猛烈的掌力？她一个“风刮落花”的身法闪开，脚步未曾站稳，一股排山倒海似的力道涌来，登时把她抛出数丈开外。虽然不是打个正着，但那股力道已是震得她爬不起来了。 云紫萝心头一凉，不是自己怕死，而是害怕孟元超落在敌人手里。“我可不能眼看孟大哥受敌人的侮辱！”当下就想自断经脉而亡。 忽听得炎炎和尚的狂笑之声突然停止，喝道：“来者是谁？” 这个人来得非常之快，当真说得是声到人到，炎炎和尚刚说到一个“谁”字，谜底立即揭开。 云紫萝躺在地上，看不见来的是什么人，但却已听到了这个人熟悉的声音了。 来的不是别人，正是林无双。 林无双给眼前的景象吓得慌了。大惊之下，失声叫道：“云姐姐，你怎么啦？孟大哥，他、他、他——” 云紫萝精神一振，挣扎着就想起来，叫道：“孟大哥还活着！” 林无双放下了心上的一块石头，说道：“云姐姐，你别动，我给你打发这两个贼人。” 炎炎和尚和连甘沛不知林无双的厉害，见她是一个比云紫萝还更年轻的女子，不约而同的都笑起来。 炎炎和尚说道：“你这小丫头也敢口出大言，难道你比这臭婆娘还更狠么？” 话犹未了，陡然间只见寒光疾闪，耀眼生缬。林无双喝道：“好，你们笑吧！”剑招连发，剑气如虹，左刺连甘沛，右刺炎炎和尚。出手快到极点，这两个人都觉得林无双的剑招好像全是向他刺来一样，饶是他们联手抵挡，还是给杀得个手忙脚乱！ 炎炎和尚这才知道林无双果然是比云紫萝更“狠”忙把袈裟脱下，袈裟一抖，俨似飞起一片红云，护着身体。 连甘沛没有这样功力，百忙中使出连家“双笔点四脉”的绝技，左笔一拖，右笔一带，一招之间，遍袭林无双的太阳、少阳、厥阴、阳矫四大脉络的八处穴道。 他这一招不知曾经伤过多少成名人物，哪知连林无双的衣角都没沾着，林无双冷笑道：“来而不往非礼也，你以为就只你会点穴么？” 林无双身与剑合，剑如飞凤，翩若惊鸿。对方的剑势指向何方连甘沛都还未看得清楚，四脉八穴便都中剑，正是他刚才要刺林无双的那些穴道。 炎炎和尚见她剑术如此精妙，吓得心胆俱寒，想道：“我只道女流之辈容易对付，谁知竟是一个比一个厉害！三十六着，走为上着，否则待到那臭婆娘气力恢复，只怕我可是性命难保了。” 不料就只林无双一个人，他想跑也跑不了。 林无双的轻功与云紫萝不相伯仲，比他高明得多。他转了几个方向，林无双都是拦在他的前头。转眼间林无双的剑光霍霍展开，使出了虬髯客真传的一个“大须弥剑式”，炎炎和尚全身受剑光笼罩，哪里还能冲出光圈之外。 炎炎和尚冲不出去，唯有硬着头皮和林无双拼斗。袈裟抖开，旋风忽舞，全身好似包在红云之内。而红云之外，则是裹着白光。说也奇怪，他和连甘沛联手之时，给林无双攻得险象环生，如今他单打独斗，反而似乎好转一些。虽然仍是未能突围而出，但林无双却也攻不进去。 其实林无双的本领并非比云紫萝高明很多，她之所以能在数招之内刺伤连甘沛，一来是因为连甘沛业已恶斗一场，正如刚才的云紫萝一样，气力不加了。二来林无双的那路剑法，得自虬髯客的真传，她以剑尖刺穴，正是连甘沛使的判官笔的克星。三来炎炎和尚震惊于她精妙的剑法，只顾保护自身，连甘沛得不到他的助力，名为联手，实际还是单打独斗。不过若是只论剑法，她的剑法变化奥妙精微，倒是确实在云紫萝之上的。这也就是为什么炎炎和尚一见她出手，便即为她所慑的原因。 到了炎炎和尚情知逃跑不了，拼死力斗之时，形势又不同了。武功是各有所长的，轻功和剑术，炎炎和尚当然远不及她。但炎炎和尚有数十年的功力，这却又是林无双比不上他的了。 炎炎和尚的袈裟越舞越急，反弹之力相应加强，被林无双剑光造成的包围圈子也渐渐扩大了。他是个武学的大行家，怯意一消，登时看出对方弱点，心里想道：“原来这丫头的功力并不如我，我为什么还要怕她！”此时云紫萝气力尚未恢复，背靠一棵大树歇息。炎炎和尚阵脚已经稳住，冀图侥幸之念不觉又是油然而起。 炎炎和尚把袈裟当作盾牌，舞得泼风也似，护住全身，右掌在袈裟掩护之下伸出来，呼呼呼连发三掌。他这火龙功蓄势已久，全力施为，就似从鼓风炉中喷出来似的，热浪迫人，林无双料不到他突然反攻，不觉退了三步。 炎炎和尚心头大喜，想道：“只要能够打败这个丫头，孟元超就是我的囊中之物了，不过我必须速战速决，否则那泼妇的气力一旦恢复，只怕又是夜长梦多。” 正当炎炎和尚在打如意算盘之际，云紫萝忽地叫道：“走乾门，奔坎位，刺他的'劳宫穴'。” 原来云紫萝由于曾与炎炎和尚剧斗多时，对他的掌法步法早已了然于胸，而林无双的上乘轻功和她的穿花绕树身法也是颇有相通之处，一样脚踏五行八卦方位的。旁观者清，是以她能够指点林无双的制敌诀窍。 林无双也正是要诱使敌人出手攻她。不过尚未知道炎炎和尚的命门要穴是在何处罢了，一得云紫萝提点，立即如法施为，走乾门，奔坎位，一招“玉女投梭”就刺过去。 炎炎和尚倘若只守不攻，纵然终须落败，但林无双想要刺中他掌心的“劳宫穴”，却也并不容易。炎炎和尚意图侥幸，想不到一念之差，便遭杀身之祸。 只听得嗤的一声，炎炎和尚的袈裟脱手飞出，掌心的劳宫穴已是给林无双锋利的剑尖刺了一个透明窟窿。林无双废了他的武功，斥道：“饶你不死，还不快快给我滚开！” 只见炎炎和尚拔足狂奔，但不过跑了几步，却又忽地停了下来。林无双道：“咦！饶你不死，你为什么不走？” 炎炎和尚喉头咕咕作响，口吐白沫，就似受伤的野兽临死之前在作挣扎狂嗥，忽地手舞足蹈起来，状如疯汉。 原来他练的“火龙功”是邪派功夫，劳宫穴一被刺穿，还不仅仅是武功被废这么简单。真气渲泄，热毒攻心，他自己也无法克制，终于自食其果，毒发身亡了。 林无双见他毒发身亡的惨状，亦是不禁触目惊心，当下就不忍再杀那连甘沛了。 连甘沛已经被她挑断四条经脉，武功亦已废掉。林无双点了他的昏睡穴，将他一脚踢下山坡，说道：“明天醒来，要是你不给野兽吃掉，那就是你的造化了。” 血雨腥风过后，荒山又复归于静寂，黄昏的夜幕笼罩大地，如眉的新月已经开始出现天边了。 云紫萝想起刚才的恶斗还是不禁有点心惊，只有孟元超还在梦中，对刚才的一切，好似全无知觉。 林无双走近他的身旁，不觉又是担忧起来，说道：“刚才打得那样激烈，怎的他还是没给吵醒？” 云紫萝说道：“他恐怕已经昏迷了两天两夜了，刚才醒了一会儿，神智似乎还未清醒过来，又睡着了。不过，你可以放心，他的呼吸比我发现他的时候已经舒畅许多，脉息也调和了。依我的经验，他的危险时期已经过了。你瞧，他不是睡得很好吗？” 林无双定下心神，这才发现孟元超的脸上依稀绽着笑容，身上的伤口也全都包扎好了，说道：“你说得不错，他真的像是正在做着一个好梦。” 云紫萝笑道：“我猜他是正在梦中梦见了你。” 林无双面上一红，道：“云姐姐，多亏你救了他。我很抱歉，却是来迟了一步了。”有两句话她本来要说，忽地瞿然一省，恐怕说者无心听者有意，因而不便说出来的话是：“他要是作梦，也该是梦见你。” 云紫萝道：“你不是来得正合时吗？你不但救他，也救了我啊。” 林无双道：“我本来可以早一点来的，我不知道他受了这样严重的伤，昨天我在小金川整整等了他一天。”原来林无双是等待战场上的伤兵差不多都回来之后，还没发现孟元超的踪迹，这才着急赶来，连夜动身的。 云紫萝道：“就只你一个人来么？” 林无双道：“冷、萧两位首领率领全军出动，今日一早，赶往东路和早已在那里埋伏的一支义军会师，准备全歼进犯小金川的清兵，倘若不是为了找寻孟大哥，我本来也要跟他们出发的。云姐姐，你怎么知道来这里找孟大哥呢？” 云紫萝道：“在东路埋伏的那支义军，是不是李麻子和刘抗他们？” 林无双道：“正是，原来你都已知道了。” 云紫萝道：“昨晚我碰见刘抗，还和他打了一场呢。我是今早才和他分手的。”当下把昨天晚上，在那古庙之中的遭遇，说给林无双知道。 林无双忽道：“缪大侠呢？我知道他已经来了，怎的又不是和你一起？” 云紫萝怔了一怔，说道：“你怎么知道他已经来了？” 林无双说道：“我们有一小队受了轻伤的弟兄，在退回小金川的途中，遭遇敌兵包围，幸亏缪大侠恰好路过，拔刀相助，助他们杀出重围。其中两个受伤较重的，缪大侠还给他们敷上了金创药呢。” 云紫萝呆了一会，好像还不敢十分相信似他说道：“他当真已经来了？” 林无双道：“怎么不真，我就是刚才在路上碰上那两个受伤最重的弟兄，他们亲口和我说的。他们虽然没有见过缪大侠，但从他们描绘的那个人的样貌和武功来看，绝对是缪大侠无疑。我还以为你们是一起来的呢。”林无双不觉也有点诧异了。 云紫萝道：“他没说过要来，但我知道他会来的。” 林无双道：“缪大侠现在可能已经到了小金川了。不过或许他到东面战场去帮刘抗也说不定。因为他已从伤兵口中得知战场情况，而他的师侄武端兄妹也正在刘抗那边。” 云紫萝心乱如麻，转了好几个念头，忽地说道：“双妹，照料孟大哥的事情，我想偏劳你了。你一个人送他回去，怕不怕会有危险？” 林无双道：“双方的兵力都已集中东面战场，这一带已经没有敌兵，百姓又是帮忙我们义军的，我想大概不至于有甚危险。但云姐姐，你——” 云紫萝心里叹了口气，幽幽说道：“我想，我现在也该走了。” 林无双只道她是急于和缪长风相会，于是笑道：“好的，你放心去吧。我瞧缪大侠恐怕还是在刘抗那边的可能大些，但愿你们早日相见。待打了胜仗，过几天咱们在小金川的庆功宴中再会。” 云紫萝心中苦笑：“你们摆庆功宴之时，我已不知在什么地方了。”
