Chapter 10 The Tenth Murder of a Love Rival
Lightning said with his hand: "We have a living mouth. It's not too late for us to question his confession slowly. Brother Ling, let me have a look. It's important to heal your wound first."
Hong Tianlei said: "My injury is an old injury, and it has already healed by seven or eight points. The new injury added is just a little bit of flesh and blood, it's fine, don't delay for me, catch one or two more lives. "
Lightning Hand smiled and said: "Old wounds and new wounds should be healed. It is enough to have one alive." Without letting Hong Tianlei argue, he immediately pushed the blood across the palace for him.Lu Yuyao also came over and applied Jinchuang medicine on him.
The Lightning Hand pushed blood across the palace for him, and Hong Tianlei had to use his own true energy to cooperate.Hong Tianlei didn't want to live up to his good intentions, and secondly, he really hurt his vitality. If he didn't have an inner family expert to relax his tendons, it would be difficult for him to stand up, so he had to obey the Lightning Hand's words and calm down for the time being. He recuperated.
After about half a stick of incense, Hong Tianlei's complexion gradually turned rosy, and Lightning praised: "Brother Ling has profound internal energy, which is rare in my life."
Hong Tianlei jumped up and said, "It may be too late to chase after him now. I'm afraid that the living confession is an insignificant person, and we can't ask for any confession. We'd better catch Dugu Xiong."
Qu Ran, the Lightning Hand, thought to himself: "That's right, Dugu Xiong seems to be the leader of those people, and it would be best to catch him." However, because Hong Tianlei's spirit just improved, he was still worried .
Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly heard an old woman's panicked voice shouting: "Yu'er, Yu'er!"
Lu Yuyao shouted: "Ah, mother is here! Mother, I am here!"
I saw Mrs. Lu running towards them like flying, she paused on crutches, and said: "Oh, why didn't you listen to your father and bring Brother Ling Shi out! Just now I heard the sound of fighting, yes, yes— —”
Lu Yuyao said: "Mother, don't panic, a group of robbers have come, and this, this benefactor has already driven them away." She only knew that this man's nickname was "Lightning Hand", but she didn't know his name yet.
Although Mrs. Lu should thank Lightning Hand, but at this time she has other interests, she didn't even have time to ask Lightning Hand's name, she wandered around, and suddenly called out: "Where's your cousin, why don't you see him!"
Lu Yuyao had been busy tending to Hong Tianlei's wounds, and now she just realized it, and said in a low voice: "My cousin gave the thief's hidden weapon a hole in the acupuncture point, and it's in the thatch over there."
Mrs. Lu was shocked and scolded: "Why did you go down to treat him? Brother Ling's injury is of course serious, but your cousin should be taken care of! Can't you concentrate on taking care of him?"
Lu Yuyao blushed and said: "I, I saw that my cousin didn't suffer any other injuries. It probably doesn't matter if the acupoints are opened later."
Lu Yuyao gave her mother a meal, of course she felt very uncomfortable, and Hong Tianlei also felt embarrassed, so she forced a smile and said: "My injury is not a problem, let's go to Brother Qiu as soon as possible!" He had already run in the direction he pointed.
Lightning Hand suddenly asked Lu Yuyao in a low voice: "Your cousin's surname is Qiu?" Lu Yuyao said: "Yes, his name is Qiu Dacheng." Lightning Hand said: "Oh, Qiu Dacheng!" There was a look of surprise, and the figure flew over immediately.
Mrs. Lu felt the breeze rustling, and the lightning hand had already passed her side.Mrs. Lu murmured to herself: "This kid is too impolite, isn't he trying to compete with me?" She started in front, and was overtaken by the Lightning Hand, but she was a little unhappy in her heart.
Mrs. Lu's lightness skill is not weak, but it is still a bit inferior to Lightning Hand.Mrs. Lu ran to that place, and the Lightning Hand had already helped Qiu Dacheng up.
"Brother Qiu is not injured, and the acupuncture point that was hit must be acupointed. Please let my nephew do it for you." Lightning Hand said while helping to relieve Qiu Dacheng's acupuncture point.
He is a great expert in martial arts, Qiu Dacheng's closed acupoints were easily solved by him in an understatement, and he immediately knew that the person who punched Qiu Dacheng used the lightest technique to hit Qiu Dacheng's acupoints, and he suddenly became suspicious. I thought to myself: "I'm afraid that incident is not groundless?"
Seeing that it was a stranger who relieved his acupoints, Qiu Dacheng was taken aback for a moment, and was about to speak, when he asked his name, the Lightning Hand said first, "Brother Qiu, it's a pleasure to meet you."
At this time Lu Yuyao had also arrived, and seeing that Lightning Hand was speaking in a strange manner, she asked with a smile, "Do you know my cousin?"
Lightning Hand said indifferently: "Brother Qiu's name I have admired for a long time."
Lu Yuyao was rather strange, and thought, "Although Cousin Qiu has traveled all over the rivers and lakes, it's only been once or twice, and he hasn't made his official debut yet, how can his reputation be spread? Could it be that this person intends to please me?" Mother's favor? Seeing Mom's look just now, of course he knows that she loves her nephew the most."
Qiu Dacheng gave him a handful, but he felt a little flustered, and said, "I'm just an unknown person, and your Excellency has given me too much credit. Thank you for your kindness in explaining the acupoints. I haven't asked you about Gao's name yet."
Mrs. Lu then said: "The little girl was rescued, please accept my respect."
Lightning hurriedly said: "I dare not take it. When it comes to repaying kindness, I am even more grateful to you!"
Mrs. Lu said: "Oh, you, you are—"
Lightning said: "I am the Geng Dian who was the bodyguard of the old hero Lu ten years ago. I came here specially to visit my benefactor."
Lu Yuyao was both surprised and happy, and said: "So you are that Mr. Geng! Daddy said you don't know martial arts, but he didn't know that your martial arts are so good!"
Mrs. Lu laughed and said, "You're talking stupid again. Mr. Geng's father is a Jiangnan hero who is well-known in the martial arts world. Mr. Geng has acquired a unique skill from his family. How can he not be good at martial arts?"
Geng Dian said: "Ten years ago I really didn't know martial arts at all, and now I just learned a few tricks."
Mrs. Lu said: "It's a pity that Yuyao's father is not at home, otherwise he would be so happy to see you!"
She said "Happy", but the expression on her face was frowning, as if she was worried.
Lu Yuyao said: "Although Daddy is not at home, we will still entertain guests. Brother Geng, you can stay at our house and wait for my Daddy to come back, okay? Mom, call the guests home!"
Madam Lu smiled wryly: "You still have to wait for your father to come back, I'm afraid we have to move."
Lu Yuyao said, "Why?"
Mrs. Lu said: "Who were the people who fought against you just now?"
Lu Yuyao said: "They are here to arrest Brother Ling. It seems that some female robber is subordinate to me. I can't hear you clearly. You can ask Brother Ling."
Hong Tianlei said: "Their master's name is Yun Zhongyan, she is a woman, but she is not a female bandit. As far as I know, she is probably some kind of 'Ge Ge' (prince master) of the Kingdom of Jin."
Mrs. Lu frowned even more, and said: "You don't know the identity of Brother Ling, and now they have found out that he lives in our house. They failed once, are they willing to give up and never come again? I'm afraid that from now on , it is rare for everyone to be peaceful, how can we not move to avoid disaster?"
Lu Yuyao said, "Where are you going to move? What if Daddy comes back?"
Mrs. Lu said: "You don't have to worry about daddy coming back. When I move, I will naturally leave a message to my neighbors. Where to move is indeed a problem. Although your dad has many relatives and friends, he knows about it. , This is something that may lead to the destruction of the family, do they dare to take us in? Do our relatives and friends dare to take us in, but do we have the heart to implicate them?"
Hong Tianlei was extremely sad when he heard that, he gritted his teeth, and said: "Auntie, don't worry, I can hear the tone of those people, they have a bit of respect for uncle, they claim that they are only for me. I leave here, you It's all right now. My nephew left because of my aunt's kindness for saving me for several months."
Lu Yuyao was both surprised and anxious, and said: "You are not fully recovered from your illness, and you are leaving us, how can this happen?"
Mrs. Lu also said hypocritically: "Nephew, I can't let you do this. If I let you go and her father comes back, I must blame me."
On the surface, these words sounded like he was not allowed to leave Hong Tianlei, but in fact he was afraid that Hong Tianlei would not leave.No matter how stupid Hong Tianlei was, he could tell, and of course he insisted on leaving.
Lu Yuyao pulled him bitterly, while her mother was hypocritically holding him back, entangled, Geng Dian suddenly said: "Miss Lu, you don't have to worry, just leave your big brother Ling to me!"
Lu Yuyao said, "Are you going with him?"
Geng Dian smiled and said: "I am also a prisoner of the Kingdom of Jin, and we are not afraid of getting involved with each other."
Mrs. Lu blushed, and said: "Mr. Geng's martial arts skills are outstanding, nephew Tie Wei Xian has you as a companion, I can rest assured."
Lu Yuyao stamped her feet and said, "Mom, you—"
Mrs. Lu said: "Oh, why am I willing to let your brother Ling go? But it's hard to have both. To be honest, we may not keep him safe when he is in our house. It's better to let him stay with Mr. Geng. Mr. Geng His skills are far superior to ours, but it seems to be better."
After her mother had reached this point, Hong Tianlei insisted on leaving again, and Lu Yuyao had no other choice.At the moment, I had no choice but to say: "Brother Ling, you have to take care of yourself on the way! When you get home, remember to report your safety to us."
Hong Tianlei said: "Don't worry, I will. Maybe when I get home, your father hasn't left yet."
Qiu Dacheng sneered in his heart: "You are a silly girl, a bastard, but you are a son and daughter. Hmph, once this kid leaves, can you see him again? I, Qiu Dacheng, am not so stupid, I am willing to let the cooked duck fly away "He said immediately: "It's getting late, since brother Ling has to leave, let's not delay him. Cousin, send brother Ling to wait for me at the mountain pass over there, and I'll go home and help brother Ling pack his bags."
Hong Tianlei picked up his bags and walked for a while. Looking back, he saw Lu Yuyao still standing at the intersection, staring at him bewilderedly.Qiu Dacheng stood beside her and spoke in a low voice, as if to persuade her to go back.Hong Tianlei suddenly felt sad, bit his lips tightly, and hurriedly took big steps, never daring to look back.
After walking out of this mountain village, it has been more than ten miles away from Lu's house.Hong Tianlei was still silent, just walking with his head down.
Geng Dian suddenly said: "Brother Ling, are you and Miss Lu very close?"
Hong Tianlei blushed, and said: "My illness is almost dead, and it is their mother and daughter who are taking care of me. But, but there is no—"
Geng Dian smiled and said: "I don't want to inquire about your personal affairs, but please forgive me, there is one thing I want to understand. Is there any rift between you and Qiu Dacheng? We don't get along with each other ?”
Hong Tianlei was stunned for a moment and said: "No, Qiu Dacheng is also very good to me. What do you mean by asking this?"
Geng Dian slowly said: "Know people, know faces, but don't know your heart. The sudden attack on you this time may have something to do with this kid Qiu Dacheng!"
Hong Tianlei was taken aback and said: "No way! Brother Geng, what do you see so strangely?"
Geng Dian said: "I have seen the gangsters who attacked you before. I even overheard one of their secrets."
Hong Tianlei said: "What secret?"
Geng Dian said: "It's the secret that they colluded with Qiu Dacheng to murder you!"
Hong Tianlei was shocked and said, "Is this really the case?"
Geng Dian smiled and said, "Otherwise, how could I come by such a coincidence?"
Hong Tianlei took a breath, and sighed: "No wonder you said you know people, face but not heart. You never thought that Qiu Dacheng would do such a thing. But how could you eavesdrop on their secrets?"
Geng Dian said: "When I walked to Sanshigang yesterday, this group of people was also walking to that intersection. I was behind them, and I knew they were a group of people from the rivers and lakes at a glance. They didn't pay attention to me. Sanshigang Do you know this place?"
Hong Tianlei said: "That place is at the intersection of the three forks. Originally there were three steles guiding the way, but due to the passage of time, the place names engraved on the steles have peeled off and are blurred, making it difficult to see clearly."
Geng Dian said: "That's right. When I walked to that place, I was looking for someone to ask for directions. The gangsters had already asked a farmer for directions at that intersection. What they asked was: Do you know which village Mr. Lu Dongyan lives in? Which way should I go?
"As soon as I heard the name of benefactor, of course I pricked up my ears."
Hong Tianlei said: "But they probably won't tell that farmer what they came to find Lu Dongyan for?"
Geng Dian smiled and said: "Of course not. But I can't help but be suspicious. Lu Dongyan is my benefactor, what are these people in the world looking for him for? If Lu Dongyan's friend is okay, if it is an enemy, I can't ignore it. Therefore I secretly followed this group of people. Fortunately, I was walking a mountain road through the woods, and I followed them from a distance. The mountains were deep and the forests were dense, but they didn’t notice them.”
Hong Tianlei had seen his superb lightness skills before, and said with a smile, "Even if it's not in the woods, it would be difficult for them to find you."
Geng Dian went on to say: "Followed for a while, probably because they looked around because there was no one around, so they were relieved to talk about him.
"One said: 'I don't know if Qiu Dacheng's words are reliable?'
"One said: 'Why should he lie to deceive us? Besides, this is a rare opportunity, and it doesn't matter if you miss it.'
"The man at the front said: 'I'm not afraid of being caught in the air, I'm afraid that this kid Qiu Dacheng is acting for his own benefit. That surname is Ling——'
"This person hadn't finished talking, another person immediately said: 'Shut up, even though there are no outsiders here, we must beware of ears in the forest.'
"The man smiled and said, 'Unless it is the ear of the wind. Well, since you are afraid of being eavesdropped, let's not say the man's name.'
"Hey, hey, although I'm not good at listening to the wind, I have practiced listening to the ground. This is beyond their expectation."
Hong Tianlei laughed and said, "They said that the person surnamed Ling must be me. What did they say about me?"
Geng Dian said: "The one said: 'This kid surnamed Ling once did Lu Dongyan a big favor, defeated his strong enemy Nian Zhenshan for him, and saved Lu Dongyan's face.'
"Another person said with a smile: 'This matter has already been rumored in Jianghu, Second Brother Shi, are you still afraid that we don't know about it?'
"The man surnamed Shi said: 'Because of this matter, I can't help but feel a little worried.'
"'Concerned about what?'
"'I once asked the guests at Lu's house that day, and I heard that Lu Dongyan's daughter was very kind to this kid surnamed Ling.'
"His companion laughed loudly and said, 'Second Brother Shi, are you still afraid of a little girl? So what if she takes a fancy to him?'
"The other followed up and said: 'Yes, the identity of this kid... (The voice is very quiet, the middle sentences can't be heard clearly.)...How can we let him go? Even though he is already Lu Dongyan's beloved son-in-law , we are going to do it too.'
"The one surnamed Shi said: 'I'm only afraid that Qiu Dacheng falsely reported the identity of the surname Ling, in order to prevent this kid from robbing his cousin.'
"At this point, his companion seemed to be enlightened and said: 'Oh, I understand. Brother Shi, you just said that Qiu Dacheng used public affairs to benefit his own interests, so that's what you meant. If you are in our line of business, it's fine if you wrong one or two people. Nothing.'
"The man surnamed Shi said: "Of course it's nothing for other people to wrong one or two. But Lu Dongyan has a lot of friends, and he didn't offend the court. If this boy surnamed Ling is not the one we want to arrest, we won't be able to make peace." Lu Dongyan has a feud. Our identities must be concealed. If Lu Dongyan seeks revenge on us, he can only do so according to the rules of the Jianghu. We can't rely on our power to suppress him.'
"His companions seemed to have some concerns after hearing what he said, and they all said: 'Brother Dugu, what do you think should be done?' The 'Brother Dugu' they called was Dugu Xiong.
"Dugu Xiong pondered for a while, then said: 'Don't worry, I'll know if it's the Ling family member we want to arrest, just by raising my hand.'
"'Ah! How do you know?'
"'As far as I know, that person practiced thunderbolt palm. Although I don't know how to do thunderbolt palm, I have seen it before.'
"Those people heard that Duguxiong was able to tell the truth from the falsehood, and they all said: 'Don't worry. If it's true, we caught this kid. Lu Dongyan knows it. He knows it well. Forgive him for not daring to stand out!'"
After Geng Dian told Hong Tianlei in detail about the conversation he overheard that day, he said: "They didn't reveal your identity that day, but I was already a little suspicious. People from the Ling family will know how to be a hero in Liangshanpo again. The Thunderbolt Palm passed down by Qin Ming must be the descendant of Thunderbolt Lingzhen. I guessed it." Then he said: "Now you should believe that it was Qiu Dacheng who framed you? Hmph, if not For Madam Lu's sake, I won't let him go!"
Hong Tianlei was stunned for a moment, then suddenly let out a long sigh.
Geng Dian said: "Brother Ling, why are you sighing?"
Hong Tianlei said: "It doesn't matter if Qiu Dacheng hurts me, I'm just afraid, I'm afraid—"
Geng Dian laughed and said, "Are you afraid that Miss Lu will fall for him?"
Hong Tianlei said: "Yes. They are cousins. Miss Lu never thought that her cousin is such a person. With such a person by her side, accompanying her every day, how can I not be a little worried."
Geng Dian said: "Okay, do you want me to go back and tell their mother and daughter?"
Hong Tianlei shook his head and said, "How could Mrs. Lu believe what you said? I'm afraid she would think that I colluded with you to frame her nephew. Yuyao may not believe it, or not well said."
Geng Dian smiled and said: "I see that Miss Lu has a lot of heart for you, even though you are not by her side, forgive Qiu Dacheng for not snatching her away."
Hong Tianlei blushed, and said: "Brother Geng, don't be joking." But he thought in his heart: "I hope so."
Geng Dian smiled and said, "Okay, then let's talk about serious things. Well, what are you thinking about?"
Hong Tianlei said: "Duguxiong said that they are subordinates of Yun Zhongyan. I was thinking, how could Qiu Dacheng know them? According to Duguxiong, they came here at Yun Zhongyan's order." !" I thought, if what Duguxiong said is true, then it has nothing to do with Qiu Dacheng.
Geng Dian laughed and said: "Brother Ling, you are an honest man, can you believe Duguxiong's words? But I just want to ask you, who is Yun Zhongyan?"
Hong Tianlei thought in his heart: "It's okay for Wu Yong to tell him the secret of the Art of War." So he told Geng Dian exactly what he had met Yun Zhongyan and Hei Xuanfeng in Liangshan.
Geng Dian seemed a bit perplexed, and said, "According to what you said, Yun Zhongyan is a member of the Kingdom of Jin?"
Hong Tianlei said: "I heard that Wanyan Changzhi, the Imperial Forest Army of the Kingdom of Jin, has a son and a daughter, this Yun Zhongyan might be Wanyan Changzhi's daughter."
Geng Dian suddenly said: "What is Yun Zhongyan's identity, I don't know. But as far as I know, Yun Zhongyan doesn't seem to be as bad as you said!"
Hong Tianlei asked in surprise, "How do you know?"
Geng Dian said: "Although I am far away in the south of the Yangtze River, my father's friends often come from the north. According to them, Yun Zhongyan seems to be a chivalrous woman."
Hong Tianlei said: "Whether Hei Xuanfeng is good or bad to her is a bit unpredictable, but if she is really a chivalrous woman, why did she snatch Wu Yong's Art of War and refuse to return Hei Xuanfeng?"
Geng Dian said: "I'm just a little skeptical. Of course, I can't fully believe what I heard. Well, let's not talk about Yun Zhongyan, but I really want to get acquainted with the black whirlwind you mentioned."
Hong Tianlei said: "Hei Xuanfeng said he was going to Dadu to visit the leader of the Beggar Clan, Lu. It has been more than three months now, and he may have left Dadu to go elsewhere. His whereabouts are uncertain. If we see him, I'm afraid it will be serious." It's not easy."
The two talked and talked all the way, but they were not lonely.Hong Tianlei's injury has not yet healed, and he can only walk about a hundred miles a day.In order to avoid being discovered by the enemy, they abandoned the official road and took the mountain road exclusively, often missing the destination.Fortunately, Hong Tianlei has a strong physique and is accustomed to eating and sleeping in the open.There are friends traveling together, although the injury is not healed, they don't feel the pain.
On this day they missed Sutou again, it was almost dusk, they went into the woods to find a more suitable place to rest, Hong Tianlei raised his eyes and found something, he said: "Today is lucky, there is a family over there. "
Geng Dian took a closer look and said with a smile, "It's a stone temple, and the temple gate has collapsed. Look, the Maitreya Buddha on the temple is still faintly visible."
Hong Tianlei laughed and said: "As long as there is a place to live, it's better to live in an ancient temple, it's better than sleeping in the open."
Entering that ancient temple, I saw cobwebs all over, dust piled up, and the temple was dilapidated.Hong Tianlei cleaned it up, stretched his waist, and said with a smile: "I really want to sleep comfortably, but I feel a little hungry again, let's go find food."
Geng Dian said: "Brother Ling, your body has not recovered yet, and you have suffered enough these days. When I come back from hunting two hares, you can sleep."
Hong Tianlei said: "Do you think I am a spoiled young master? How can I let you work alone?"
Geng Dian smiled and said: "Okay, since you have to do something, please stay here and make a fire. To be honest, although I am not spoiled, I rarely do housework. I often make a fire. The smoke has smoked the eyes, and it took a long time to fix it."
Hong Tianlei knew that Geng Dian loved him, but it was also true that Geng Dian didn't know how to make fire.Hong Tianlei was grateful for his friend's kindness, so he stopped arguing with him.Said: "Well, good luck to you, catch the hare, and come back quickly. Ah, yes, our water bladders are gone, and you have to find water."
Geng Dian said: "This is easy. When I went up the mountain just now, I noticed a mountain stream over there."
After Geng Dian left, Hong Tianlei picked up dead branches and lit a wildfire in front of Maitreya Buddha's seat, which made his body warm and uncomfortable. Before Geng Dian came back, he fell asleep in a daze up.
He didn't know how long he had slept, but suddenly he felt as if someone came to his side and smiled.
People who have practiced high-quality martial arts will wake up at the slightest sound.Before Hong Tianlei opened his eyes, he jumped up and shouted: "Brother Geng, you are back!"
As soon as this remark came out, only silver bell-like laughter could be heard!
Hong Tianlei was taken aback, and opened his eyes, only to see a girl with bright eyes and bright teeth standing in front of him, who is Geng Dian.
This time, Hong Tianlei's drowsiness disappeared, and he was stunned for a while, then jumped up suddenly and shouted: "Okay, I'm going to settle accounts with you, a witch!"
It turns out that this girl is none other than Yun Zhongyan who snatched Wu Yong's Art of War in Liangshan!
Hong Tianlei grabbed it, Yun Zhongyan grinned, dodged away, and said with a smile: "Hong Tianlei, I didn't come to fight with you!"
Hong Tianlei thought: "How did she know my nickname? Oh, yes, Duguxiong is her subordinate. Of course, Qiu Dacheng told Duguxiong, and Duguxiong will tell her again."
Old and new grudges were all on his mind, Hong Tianlei couldn't help but shouted loudly like a thunderbolt, and struck with both palms, shouting: "You don't fight with me, but I will settle accounts with you!"
Yun Zhongyan had learned how powerful he was, and knew that he couldn't compare to him in hand-to-hand combat, so she had no choice but to draw her sword out of its sheath and use offense as defense to defuse his offensive.
Hong Tianlei couldn't jump, Yun Zhongyan stabbed with his sword, although he was still able to sway away from his palm, but the tip of the sword cut off a piece of Hong Tianlei's sleeve.
Yun Zhongyan was taken aback for a moment, and thought: "People say that he was seriously injured by Nian Zhenshan, it's really good. No wonder his skill is not as good as before."
Yun Zhongyan undid his move, put the sword back into its sheath, and said with a smile: "Hong Tianlei, your injury hasn't healed yet, if you want to fight today, you won't be able to beat me, why don't you calm down and listen to me? "
Hong Tianlei said angrily: "If you have the guts to fight three hundred moves with me, don't run away! How dare you say that I can't beat you. Hmph, even if I really can't beat you, I will fight!"
Yun Zhongyan shook her head, and said, "You are really aggressive, and you don't discriminate between indiscriminate and indiscriminate!"
Hong Tianlei shouted: "Hmph, I've known you as a witch for a long time, what kind of good person do you want to pretend to be in front of me!"
Hong Tianlei's Thunderbolt Palm was extremely fierce, although his skills had not yet recovered, Yun Zhongyan still had to be careful in handling the first twenty or thirty moves.
Yun Zhongyan used up some of Hong Tianlei's strength with his ingenious kung fu, and said, "Hey, if you continue to fight, only you will suffer. I won't kill you, I just slap you twice and run away , may I ask what you can do to me?"
Hong Tianlei was not afraid of getting hurt, but it was a great shame to slap a "demon girl" twice, so he couldn't help feeling a little flustered, for fear that Yun Zhongyan would do what he said, and would instinctively take a step back in an instant, making him One palm "Iron Lock Hengjiang", two palms to protect the chest.
Yun Zhongyan breathed a sigh of relief, giggled and said, "Don't panic, don't panic, as long as you answer my words, I don't necessarily have to slap you. I want to know where your friend Hei Xuanfeng is?"
Hong Tianlei sneered and said: "What are you asking him for? Hei Xuanfeng is a reputable man, and he won't be fooled by a witch like you. I advise you to stop thinking about it!"
Yun Zhongyan had been ridiculed like this before, so she couldn't help getting really angry, raised her brows, and scolded: "You, you, you bastard, you really don't have ivory in your mouth!" Hong Tianlei said: "You It’s because dogs don’t have ivory in their mouths! How dare you scold me!” Yun Zhongyan jumped up and scolded, “Not only will I scold you, but I will also beat you. Hit your mouth to see if you dare to talk nonsense! "
Hong Tianlei was really a little scared to slap her in the face, and now he only defends but not attacks, using a set of self-defense palms to make the wind and rain impenetrable.He thought to himself: "When Big Brother Geng comes back, I don't have to be afraid of this little witch. Hmph, if I catch this little witch, I have to slap her first!"
Yun Zhongyan pointed to the east and west, and the guide to the north, but she threw herself in front of him several times, and was knocked back by his palm force, so she couldn't help being a little scrupulous, thinking to herself: "This kid is so strong! If I don't draw my sword and hurt him, I'm afraid I won't be able to deal with him within an hour or two. But if I hurt him, Hei Xuanfeng will regard me as an enemy. What's more, this kid hasn't been hurt yet. Yu, if I hurt him with a sword, he won't win with martial arts."
After fighting for a while, Yun Zhongyan held back his breath and asked, "Hong Tianlei, why do you hate me so much?" Hong Tianlei thought in his heart, "Why hasn't Brother Geng come back? Well, it's been a while. For a while, I am happy to talk nonsense with this witch."
"You understand what you do yourself. Hmph, shouldn't I hate you?" Hong Tianlei said with a sneer.
Yun Zhongyan frowned, and said: "You snatched it from me because of that Art of War, didn't you? I have already brought this Art of War, as long as you tell me where the Black Whirlwind is, I will take it and return it to you." His. You can even give it to you, as long as you swear an oath, promise me to send this art of war to Black Whirlwind."
Hong Tianlei would not believe what she said, and sneered: "Good witch, who can you deceive with your sweet talk? Hmph, you have such kindness, why do you keep hurting me again and again?"
Yun Zhongyan was taken aback for a moment, and said, "When did I hurt you again?"
Hong Tianlei said angrily: "What are you pretending to be, isn't Dugu Xiong sent by you?"
Yun Zhongyan was surprised: "What Dugu Xiong? I know the name of this person, but you said I sent him to harm you, where did you start?"
Hong Tianlei sneered and said: "You little demon girl still want to deny it, isn't Dugu Xiong your subordinate?"
Yun Zhongyan said with a smile: "If you continue to scold the witches and witches, I will not be polite to you! Tell me about this matter, I think there must be something strange in it!"
Hearing what she said, Hong Tianlei couldn't help being a little suspicious, and said in his heart: "Yes, if she intends to harm me, she can harm me when I'm still asleep when she comes in. Could it be that there is something strange about it? ?”
Hong Tianlei became suspicious, but he is a person who prefers softness to toughness. At this time, he was given the upper hand by Yun Zhongyan. In a calm tone, I originally wanted to tell her about Duguxiong, but changed my mind, and thought to myself: "I can't show weakness to her, I told her well, she just thinks that I am afraid of her. Hmph, Dugu Of course you can’t believe what Xiong said, but how can you believe her words? Maybe she has some tricks, but don’t fall for her tricks. If I tell you about that matter, she will push it clean.”
Yun Zhongyan said: "Have you thought about it, or do you still have to fight hard with me?"
Hong Tianlei said: "That's right, I just want to learn how powerful you are, what's so great about you, show it!"
Yun Zhongyan was so angry with him, she said: "You really don't know what to do, you kid. Well, since you don't drink the toast, you must eat the fine wine, so it's up to you!"
At this moment, Geng Dian's voice was suddenly heard saying from afar: "Brother Ling, who is talking to you?" It seems that it is right next to the ear, and every word can be heard clearly.
Yun Zhongyan was taken aback, and thought: "This person is not Hei Xuanfeng, who has such power?"
Hong Tianlei exulted and shouted: "Brother Geng, come quickly, it was that witch who fought with me. Come quickly, don't let her run away!"
Taking advantage of his great joy, Yun Zhongyan rushed in front of him like lightning, and pointed at his acupoints.
It was too late to say it, but Geng Dian shouted: "Come!" The echo of the valley "Come! Come!" Before it stopped, his figure appeared at the temple gate.
Hong Tianlei rolled over with a carp, and shouted: "Where are you going, you witch? See if you slapped me on the mouth or I slapped you on the mouth?"
It turned out that although Yun Zhongyan used heavy techniques to acupressure acupuncture points, Hong Tianlei had a strong physique trained since childhood, with thick skin and thick flesh, and his internal strength was higher than that of Yun Zhongyan, so even though he was numb Give her a positive point, but it's only a moment of numbness.
Yun Zhongyan originally wanted to take him as a hostage, but at this moment the acupoints didn't work, so she couldn't help feeling a little flustered, thinking: "This bastard hates me so much, his friend, it seems that his martial arts are only superior to mine, so he decided If you are not under me, a good man will not suffer from immediate disadvantages, so don’t insult him seriously, then it won’t be worth it. Thirty-six strategies, the best strategy is to walk away, first avoid this kid!” After making up his mind, a swallow pierced through the curtain , flew out from the other window of the temple.
Seeing Yun Zhongyan's agility, Geng Dian couldn't help being surprised. He immediately put down the water bag and two hares, and said, "Brother Ling, is this girl Yun Zhongyan?" Hong Tianlei said anxiously: "Yeah, go after her!" Geng Dian said, "Don't worry, she won't be able to escape!" Turning around, she chased after her like a shadow.
Yun Zhongyan was always proud of his lightness kung fu, after hearing Geng Dian's words, he felt angry and said, "Okay, I'll compare your lightness kung fu with you!"
Geng Dian chased after putting down his prey and water bag. At this time, Yun Zhongyan had already entered the depths of the dense forest, and Geng Dian could no longer be seen.
Yun Zhongyan didn't dare to relax, and ran for a while, but Geng Dian was not chasing him, thinking to himself: "I'm afraid this kid doesn't even know where I am at the moment, but I came here for something this time, and now But it’s meaningless to defeat them without success.”
While thinking about it, she suddenly heard Geng Dian's voice as if whispering in her ear: "It's so light, it really deserves the nickname Yun Zhongyan!"
Yun Zhongyan was taken aback, and when she turned her head, she saw Geng Dian had already emerged from the woods.
It was too late to say it, but it was so fast at that time. In the wind and lightning, Yun Zhongyan only felt the breeze, and a group of white shadows passed by.When she saw it clearly, Geng Dian had already turned around and stopped in front of her.
Yun Zhongyan gritted her silver teeth and said, "Okay, I'll compete with you in swordsmanship again!"
She didn't stop walking, and suddenly drew her sword and made a move. The swordsmanship was so swift and pure that it could be said that she had reached the state of being able to send and receive freely.Geng Dian couldn't help but praised the word "good" again, folded the fan, and said with a smile: "I am a layman in swordsmanship, but I can't compare with the girl. I have no choice but to use this fan to ask the girl for some advice."
If he flipped the fan casually, he would have sealed Yun Zhongyan's green steel sword out of the outer door, and the second strike came first, which was three points faster than Yun Zhongyan's strike.
Yun Zhongyan groaned secretly: "Unexpectedly, I met another formidable opponent. This person's lightness kung fu is superior to mine. I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape this time."
Geng Dian was interested in watching her swordsmanship, and disassembled thirty or fifty moves, and saw that her swordsmanship was full of strangeness, which was different from all the schools in China, but occasionally there were a few moves, but they seemed familiar, and he couldn't help being surprised. A person came, and thought: "Let me try her."
After fighting for more than ten moves, Geng Dian suddenly asked: "Who is Master Dinghui in Langya Mountain?"
Paying attention to her expression, I saw that Yun Zhongyan seemed to be taken aback for a moment, but she did not slow down in her moves, and said, "What master and elder sister? I have never been in a monk's temple or a nun's nunnery in my life. !"
Geng Dian was elusive, and became more and more suspicious, so he let Yun Zhongyan stab at him with the "Jade Girl Shuttle" move, and cut off one of his sleeves.
Yun Zhongyan was very proud and said: "You have already lost one move, do you want to compete with me again?" General martial arts rules, martial arts competitions of the same generation, if there is no deep hatred, if you lose a move, you should admit defeat.Yun Zhongyan was afraid that if he continued to fight, he would not be able to beat the opponent, so he used the rules of the world to force the opponent to admit defeat.
Geng Dian laughed, and said: "Young lady's swordsmanship is superb, Xiao Ke admires it very much, of course there is no need to compare. This hosta is returned to the young lady!"
It turned out that when Yun Zhongyan cut off one of his sleeves, he pulled out a hosta from Yun Zhongyan's head.Yun Zhongyan could not help but blush when she took the jade hairpin.
Geng Dian smiled and said: "We can say that we don't know each other, can you tell me your reason for coming?"
Yun Zhongyan said: "Are you a good friend of Hong Tianlei?"
耿电说道：“我和凌铁威相识未久，但也称得上是意气相投。”
云中燕道：“你们既然是好朋友，想必他曾经和你说过我是什么样的人了？”
耿电说道：“不错，他曾经提及，数月之前，曾在梁山泊与姑娘幸会。不过姑娘是什么样的人嘛，我看，直到如今，只怕他也还是未曾知道的。”
云中燕冷笑说道：“幸会？那次他差点把我迫得跳下水泊呢。不过，我倒是有点弄不懂了，轰天雷口口声声骂我妖女，怎的你却想要和我套起交情来了？你们不是意气相投的朋友吗？”
耿电说道：“凌大哥为人耿直，或者不免对姑娘有点误会。”
云中燕道：“你就相信得过我是好人？”
耿电说道：“我与姑娘虽是刚刚相识，姑娘的大名我是久仰的了。”
云中燕“噗哧”一笑，说道：“什么久仰不久仰的，你知不知道，你这话可露出破绽来了。”
耿电道：“什么破绽？”
云中燕道：“我的'大名'，你还不是从轰天雷口中听来的吗？你刚刚说过，你和轰天雷相识未久，怎的对我就'久仰'了？”
耿电说道：“你猜错了。你的大名，我是在江南的时候就听人说过了。”
云中燕道：“哦，我的'大名'居然传到了江南？”
耿电说道：“要不，我怎么知道姑娘是个侠女？”
云中燕冷笑说道：“侠女？这可未免太抬举我了。不骂我作'妖女'，我已是感激不尽啦！”
耿电说道：“如果不是深知姑娘的人，姑娘也不用为他生气。”
云中燕道：“听你的口气，你倒好像知道我是怎么样的人？”
耿电道：“江南的武林人士或者没有谁认识姑娘，不过有一个人，姑娘你纵不相识，料也曾听过他的名字！如果我猜得不错的话，姑娘是什么样的人，我就敢说是略有所知了！”
云中燕大为诧异，双眼盯着耿电问道：“什么人？”
耿电缓缓说道：“江南的武林盟主李思南！”
云中燕吃了一惊，不觉冲口而出，说道：“你和李思南大侠相识？”她这么一说，不啻是承认她对李思南颇有所知，身份也就登时泄漏了。
耿电心里想道：“我的所料，果然不差，原来她既不是汉人，也不是金人，却是蒙古的女中豪杰。”
耿电探出了云中燕的来历，笑道：“我不仅和李思南大侠相识，我还知道他在蒙古交有三位好朋友呢！”
云中燕道：“哦，是哪三位？”
耿电缓缓说道：“头两位是蒙古著名的武士阿盖夫妻。第三位的身份更其高贵，她是成吉思汗最小的女儿明慧公主。”
云中燕见他说得确实，自己的身份料想已是瞒不过他，于是微微一笑，说道：“你说的这位公主，正是我的姑姑。”
原来云中燕是成吉思汉的孙女，成吉思汗次子察合台的女儿。她的蒙古名字叫贝尔卜丽姬，封号是“贝丽”公主。
成吉思汗死后，察合台和兄弟窝阔台争夺汗位失败，几年之后，在西征的一次战役中阵亡。他没有儿子，只留下贝丽公主一个孤女。
窝阔台对她的父亲怀有宿怨，是以对她颇为冷落。不过这样一来，却令她能够得到较大的自由，不必受宫廷的拘束，到蒙古各处地方行走。
明慧公主本来是许配给蒙古一个部落的王子的，但她心里喜欢的却是李思南。成吉思汗几个儿子，在争夺大汗宝座时，四子拖雷帮窝阔台，明慧公主的未婚夫镇国王子帮察合台。拖雷是兵马大元帅，镇国王子是拥有兵力最强的一路元帅。拖雷久已想夺他的兵权，于是趁这机会，将他诱杀！（上述故事详见拙著。）
明慧公主失意情场，回国之后，跟阿盖夫妻一起，在草原放羊，说什么也不肯回蒙古的行都和林居住。兄弟之中，拖雷和她最为友好，劝她不听，也就只好由她去了。窝阔台看在拖雷的份上，对这个不肯听话的妹妹，也只好宽容了。
云中燕和明慧公主同命相怜，姑侄二人倒是十分相得。云中燕每次溜出和林，都是到她姑母那里去住。
明慧公主本来懂得一些武功，少年时候，她曾经逃到中原找寻李思南，又得琅玡山的定慧神尼收为寄名弟子，传授了她的上乘武功，经过了将近二十年，她的一身本领就更加了得了。
明慧公主把武功传给云中燕，是以云中燕虽然从未见过定慧神尼，却是她的再传弟子。耿电就是因为在她的剑法中看到定慧神尼的家数，才猜到她的来历的。
云中燕跟明慧公主学了一身武功，又常听得明慧公主和她谈及中原的山川人物，心中不胜向往，于是到了十九岁那年，便请求叔叔拖雷的准许，准许她到中原游玩。
其时拖雷方自欧洲西征回来，声威显赫，颇有吞金灭宋，实现成吉思汗“把世界当作蒙古人的牧场”的雄心。只因计划尚未成熟，是以未曾进兵。
在对待云中燕的态度上，拖雷和他的哥哥大汗窝阔台有很大的不同，窝阔台对她歧视、冷淡，拖雷对她倒是相当疼爱、亲近。
拖雷深知这个侄女聪明机智，武功又很高强，云中燕提出这个要求，他一口便答应了。不过却要云中燕为他的进犯中原计划，做一些工作。
他说：“我不但准许你到中原游玩，而且可以让你随心所欲，喜欢什么时候回来就什么时候回来。但是你可不能只顾着游玩，你要随处留心，看看金国有什么动静；有机会的话，也可以结识一些江湖人物，打听汉人之中，有哪些人是有威望的抗金义士，说不定将来可以为咱们所用。每隔一年半载，我自会派人和你联络。”原来拖雷深谋远虑，早已在金国、宋国布置了许多耳目。当然并不是只依靠云中燕一人的。
云中燕一来是向往中原的山川人物，难得拖雷答应她可以随心所欲，玩得痛快；二来她自小丧父，已经习惯了把拖雷当作父亲一样，对他的吩咐，自是不敢违背；三来她还是年轻识浅，自小又是有点喜欢冒险的，觉得这件事情也很“好玩”，于是也就一口答应了。
到了中原，她和老百姓多谈几次之后，方始知道汉人固然是痛恨统治他们的金人，但对准备入侵的蒙古人也是深为戒惧、同样痛恨。老百姓如此，汉人中的义士自是更不用说了。
她一直隐瞒着自己的身份，两年来在中原倒是闯出了不小的名头。但真正说得上是“结识”了的江湖人物，却还没有一个。而令得她佩服的江湖人物，迄今为止，也还是只有一个黑旋风。
那次她抢到了吴用的兵法，本来认为是自己最得意的杰作的，但过后仔细思量，想起了黑旋风恐怕业已是把她当作仇人，她又不禁有一份说不出的悲哀了。
这就是她为什么要向轰天雷打探黑旋风下落的原因。
想不到在轰天雷之外，又碰上了这个耿电，这个耿电竟然知道她的来历。
