Chapter 32 Chapter 32
Yang Huanqing used what Ximen Zhushi had said to "repay" him. This was exactly how he treated his own body, which made Ximen Zhushi extremely embarrassing.Luo Haowei laughed and thought to himself: "No wonder people call her a little witch."
How could Ximen Zhushi be willing to drink this bowl of poisoned wine? He shrank from embarrassment, reached out to grab the bowl, and shouted: "Little witch, I will fight with you!"
He wanted to grab the bowl of poisoned wine and throw it at Yang Huanqing.Unexpectedly, before his fingers touched the edge of the bowl, there was a sudden breeze, and Yang Huanqing's fingers touched the back of his head like a halberd.
The "Fengfu acupoint" on the back of the head is one of the fatal acupoints of the human body, how dare Ximen Zhushi light it for her?Fortunately, his martial arts are not weak, and when he felt the wind blowing in the back of his head, he immediately leaned forward and jumped, which was barely enough to avoid it.
Yang Huanqing said: "Where are you running?" Followed like a shadow, followed and caught up, Ximen Zhushi circled around, his heel did not turn around, and his backhand was a palm.The palm is as black as ink!
Luo Haowei shouted: "Be careful of the poisonous palm!" Yang Huanqing smiled and said: "Don't worry, how could his poisonous palm hurt me?" The blood, it turned out that Yang Huanqing was caught in the sleeve of his hand and slapped him with his sleeve.Although the sleeves are made of soft cloth, the force with which Yang Huanqing hits them is extraordinary!
Ximen Zhushi exerted great energy, and rushed forward, bent his left palm, hooked his five fingers, to tear Yang Huanqing's sleeve, pushed flat with his right palm, raised the edges and corners of his finger bones, counterattacked from bottom to top, and combined a move of "baking" The cloud supports the moon".Ready to hit the air with a palm, he immediately hit her chest acupuncture point with his finger bones.This is totally desperate play.
Yang Huanqing thought: "If you don't fight hard, maybe you can fight for a long time." You must know that in a master's fight, the most important thing is to avoid impatience, and the skills of both sides are similar.That's all, now Yang Huanqing's skills are much better than him, so of course he can only promote his own defeat with this desperate fighting style.
Yang Huanqing flicked her sleeves unhurriedly, Ximen Zhushi failed to tear her sleeves, but her wrists were bound by her sleeves, and only heard a "click", Yang Huanqing cut the "dragon hand" with one move, and slashed Going down, the wrist joint of his left hand was smashed, and a left arm was dislocated, hanging limply.
Yang Huanqing tied his left arm and led him to the table like a sheep, and pushed his chin, Ximen Zhushi couldn't help opening his mouth, Yang Huanqing said: "Drink it!" into his mouth.Then he waved his sleeves and untied him.
Ximen Zhushi's face was pale, he quickly dug his fingers into his throat, and vomited profusely.Yang Huanqing reprimanded: "Smelly thief, you make the place smell so bad, do you want me to kill you!" The pillar of the west gate, Qu Ran, realized that Yang Huanqing had no intention of killing him, and quickly ran away from the door.He has an antidote himself, but he drank too much poisoned wine, and it will take at least a year and a half to recover.
Luo Haowei laughed so hard that he fell down, and said: "Miss Yang, this move of yours is really amazing!"
Yang Huanqing smiled and said, "Be careful, don't step on the filth that the stinky thief vomited out. Alas, that stinky thief has dirty people's place, so I have to admit the bad luck. Shopkeeper, please come here."
The shop owner walked over tremblingly, and Yang Huanqing said, "I'm sorry for messing up your place and breaking your things. I'll give you this ingot as compensation."
The shop owner didn't dare to take it, Yang Huanqing forced him to accept it, and said with a smile: "I'm not a robber, how can I not pay you for breaking your things?" People from the government?" Yang Huanqing smiled and said, "Don't worry, if I didn't beat him to death, I wouldn't implicate you." It turned out that Yang Huanqing spared Ximen Zhushi's life precisely because he didn't want to implicate the owner of the shop.
Yang Huanqing and Luo Haowei walked to a place where no one was around, and Fang asked him, "Where are you going?"
Luo Haowei said: "I was ordered by the Clan Master to go to Liangzhou to help you and Brother Yang save Mr. Geng. Have you met with Mr. Yang? Any news about Mr. Geng?"
Yang Huanqing answered the second question first, and said, "Geng Dian was out of danger three days ago."
Luo Haowei said happily: "Really. But I came down from the mountain, and I didn't meet them all the way."
Yang Huanqing said: "Maybe they didn't go to Qilian Mountain at all?"
Luo Haowei asked in surprise: "They? Who is with Mr. Geng?"
Yang Huanqing said: "It's Miss Qianjin, the governor of Liangzhou."
Luo Haowei suddenly remembered something, and exclaimed: "So they are a man and a woman, that's right."
Yang Huanqing said: "What's right?"
Luo Haowei said: "In a mountain depression on the opposite side of the Sancha Road, there is a family of hunters, who belong to us. Early this morning, they saw a man and a woman running on a mountain road that few people knew could lead to the back mountain. He disappeared in a blink of an eye. He may be an enemy spy who wants to sneak into the back mountain. It must be them."
Yang Huanqing said: "How can you be so accurate? Are you sure it's them?"
Luo Haowei said: "Although Brother Geng and I have not been together for a short time, we know each other very well. Since he escaped danger, he must go to Qilian Mountain. Only Miss Li refused to go up the mountain with him. He would not go with that The young lady went away to make everyone worry about him."
Yang Huanqing's face flushed, and he thought to himself: "Luo Haowei can trust him like this, I'm too suspicious." He smiled and said: "Listen to you, that Miss Li has already gone up the mountain with him. That one I don't know the way, can you show me the way to find them?"
Luo Haowei felt that what she said was a bit strange, and said with a smile: "I came to Liangzhou just for Geng Dian, of course I wanted to find him." The implication is, why do you need to ask more questions.
Yang Huanqing said: "There is one other thing that is very important, so I just want you to lead me the way. After walking on that road, it would be great if you can find them quickly; if you can't find them, you don't have to delay It's time, when I know how to go, I can go to them alone."
Luo Haowei said: "What is that other thing you said?"
Yang Huanqing said: "Didn't you just ask about your brother Yang? I'm talking about Yang Shouyi and Bai Jianwu."
Luo Haowei said: "Yes, I was going to ask you, how are they doing?"
Yang Huanqing told him Bai Jianwu's bad deeds and all suspicious points, Luo Haowei was dumbfounded, and said for a while, "Second brother will surrender to the enemy, right?"
Yang Huanqing said: "Your elder brother Yang ran back to Liangzhou again because he didn't believe my words. I'm worried about him."
Luo Haowei recalled what happened that night, and thought to himself: "That night, the Northern Hebei Shuangxiong and the Shaanxi Shuangsha came to seek revenge on Second Brother Bai. Afterwards, the eldest brother asked him what happened. He looked very disturbed. I only said that he It was because he was injured and angry in his heart. Looking at it now, I'm afraid he really did something wrong for the sake of his conscience. What's more suspicious is that everyone cared about his injury, only Geng Dian was obviously indifferent to him, and when Geng Dian talked to me that night, he also faintly revealed that he had to be on guard against Second Brother Bai. Geng Dian is a person who attaches great importance to friendship, and he would never treat Second Brother Bai like this for no reason."
Yang Huanqing smiled and said, "Are you still not willing to believe my words?"
Luo Haowei said: "If someone else said it, I definitely wouldn't believe it. If you said it, I wouldn't dare not believe it. What do you want me to do?"
Yang Huanqing said: "I want you to go to Liangzhou to persuade your brother Yang."
Luo Haowei thought for a while and said: "Brother Yang values brotherhood very much, but he is also a mature and prudent person. Since he said he would go back and find out the truth, he would never do it recklessly. I'll still look for Geng Young Master, let’s go to Liangzhou later. Otherwise, I won’t worry about it.”
Yang Huanqing said: "Yes, now it's time for you to talk about the situation on the mountain. Did you fight with the officers and soldiers?"
Luo Haowei said: "Not yet. But the officers and soldiers have already entered the front mountain. I came here because I was familiar with the terrain and avoided the officers and soldiers all the way. I don't know if there are their people ambushing in the back mountain. So it must be I can't rest assured that I found Mr. Geng."
Yang Huanqing said: "Okay, since that's the case, let's talk about it after seeing Geng Dian."
The two turned into the secluded road in the back mountain, only to see dense greenery everywhere, and the road was full of thorns.Yang Huanqing said: "I'm afraid no one has walked this road for a long time. If you hadn't led the way, I really don't know how to find it."
Luo Haowei said: "This road was originally opened by the Orion in the mountains. Since Yelu Yuanyi and our Qinglong Gang went to Qilian Mountain successively, the officers and soldiers often came to harass the Orion. They couldn't live in peace and moved to other places. But the officers and soldiers also It seems that this path has never been found."
Yang Huanqing shook his head and sighed: "The ancients said that tyranny is fiercer than a tiger. This is really true."
Before he knew it, it was dusk, Luo Haowei looked up at the sky, and said: "The clouds are densely covered, it seems that there will be a heavy rain tonight."
Yang Huanqing said: "That Miss Li is Miss Qianjin, she must find a place to shelter from the rain, we can take this opportunity to catch up with them."
Luo Haowei smiled and said: "I am a rough and rough child of the poor. I am used to the wind and rain. You are not afraid of the rain, and I am even less afraid."
After walking for a while, it really started to rain, and the woods were pitch black.Yang Huanqing remembered that night when he and Geng Dian took refuge in the barren mountain from the rain.I thought to myself: "It's the same situation tonight, but I'm no longer the one who took shelter from the rain with him." Concerned, I stepped on a moss-covered stone and almost fell down.
Luo Haowei quickly gave her a hand and said, "Be careful, the road is very slippery. I'll drag you along."
Yang Huanqing collected himself and said, "No need, I just need to be more careful."
Luo Haowei blushed, let go of her hand, and thought to himself: "She is extremely good at lightness kung fu, she shouldn't have fallen this way, could it be that she was thinking about something?"
Yang Huanqing said: "Hey, why don't you speak? Are you thinking about something?"
Luo Haowei said: "No. I thought you were thinking about something on your mind, so I didn't dare to disturb you."
Both of them suspected that the other had something on their minds, Yang Huanqing laughed unknowingly, and said: "So, I guessed wrong, but you guessed right."
She confessed it bluntly, Luo Haowei's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "Miss Yang, what are you thinking, can you tell me?"
Yang Huanqing said: "It's nothing. I want to ask you something."
Luo Haowei said: "Please tell me."
Yang Huanqing said: "Geng Dian has a very good friendship with you. You have traveled together all the way. Has he ever mentioned me to you?"
Luo Haowei said: "One night, it was also raining like this. Brother Geng and we were sheltering from the rain in a ruined temple. It was the first time he talked about you, and I didn't know the relationship between your two families."
"Ah, what did he say?" Yang Huanqing's heart was pounding, and she thought to herself: "I have a marriage contract with him, I wonder if he knows? Has he already told Luo Haowei?"
Luo Haowei said: "He is in love with the scene, thinking of those rainy nights he spent in your house when he was a child. He still remembers living in a dilapidated house, and he was very embarrassed when it rained heavily! Everyone was busy making up for the omissions. Miss Yang, I don't know if you were young. It’s the same as me.” He unknowingly mentioned it to himself again.
Yang Huanqing smiled and said: "I don't like to talk about me, but I would like to know what else he said about me?"
Luo Haowei hesitated, and said: "Yes, let's go back to the original topic. He remembered what happened when he was a child, and he was very grateful to your parents. Later, he found out that your father had passed away, and it was even more sad." Having said this, continue He laughed and said, "At that time, he didn't know that there was a you. I told him when he asked about your family members. Now I know, it turned out that it was that night, not long after I said this to him, you I got to know him."
Yang Huanqing smiled and said, "He left my house. I haven't been born yet, so of course he won't know me. What else did he say?"
Luo Haowei felt a little strange: "Why did she inquire about what Brother Geng said so carefully?" After thinking for a while, he said: "Yes, he also said that there are two most important things when he comes to the north this time. One is They are looking for the leader of the Dragon Sect of our Qinglong Sect, and the other is to look for you at the order of their parents!"
Yang Huanqing was surprised and happy, but also shy, blushing and said: "Didn't you say that he didn't know I was there at all? Why did he come to me at the order of his parents? His parents' orders were, yes- ——" She only said that this time she must have mentioned the marriage contract. When it came to this point, she was too embarrassed to ask too much, and said two "yes" and there was no further text.Fortunately, the sky was as dark as ink, and Luo Haowei couldn't see her blushing.
Luo Haowei smiled and said: "He said that he had received great favor from your family, so he was ordered by his parents to find someone from your family. Although he didn't know you, wasn't it you who he was looking for? I think these words He should have told you already."
Yang Huanqing was disappointed and said, "Is there any more?"
When Luo Haowei remembered that Geng Dian wanted to match him with Huanqing, his face also burned.After a while, he said slowly: "It's nothing. But there is one thing, I have to apologize to you, please forgive me."
Yang Huanqing was taken aback for a moment, and said, "What's the matter?"
Luo Haowei said: "I told him about the sword technique you taught me. Because he asked how I knew you, I can't fabricate the facts and lie to him."
Yang Huanqing said lightly: "Although Master told us not to tell outsiders, I think it's okay to tell Geng Dian."
In the darkness, Luo Haowei couldn't see her expression, but from her flat tone, he could hear that she seemed to be somewhat disappointed, and he was taken aback: "What exactly does she want to know? "
Although he was a bit suspicious, Luo Haowei was still excited, and immediately said: "Yes, the leader of the Long clan founded this gang, and it was originally ordered by Brother Geng's father. The leader of the Dragon clan is also planning to give him the position of leader. Well, of course he is not an outsider. Miss Yang, I, I—"
Yang Huanqing said: "Hey, what's the matter with you, just say something."
Luo Haowei probed her with anxiety, and said, "Did Brother Geng ever talk about me with you?"
Yang Huanqing said: "He said you are his best friend."
Of course, Luo Haowei couldn't be satisfied with just such a simple sentence, but Yang Huanqing's interest was already low, and Luo Haowei was too embarrassed to chatter.
The two walked silently for a while in the wind and rain, and Yang Huanqing said suddenly: "Haowei, look, there seems to be a little fire there."
Luo Haowei looked intently and saw a glimmer of light in the dark pine forest. He said happily, "They must be hiding there to avoid the rain. It was raining heavily and there were lights of fire. They might be hiding in a cave."
Yang Huanqing thought for a while and said, "Let's be more cautious. Let me go over and have a look first, and you are here to watch out for me. If it is an enemy, we can take care of it."
Luo Haowei said: "Yes. After all, you are more thoughtful and considerate." He didn't know that Yang Huanqing had other thoughts, and he didn't want to have him by his side.
Yang Huanqing performed super-miao lightness kung fu, approached the cave quietly, and thought to himself: "Listen to what they say? Well, he has such a beautiful young lady as his companion, so he probably won't think of me anymore?"
To her surprise, Geng Dian and Li Zhifang were talking about her in the cave.
Only then did Yang Huanqing suddenly realize: "So it's not that he didn't know about the marriage contract, he just misunderstood me and Luo Haowei. Hmph, he really didn't have any reason for this, how could he be so narrow-minded, he didn't say anything when he had something in his stomach! However, this Miss Li has a deep affection for him, so it's not good for me to break in at this time!" At this moment, Yang Huanqing was angry and sad at the same time, turned her head and ran away without thinking.
Geng Dian saw her shadow passing by the entrance of the cave. Although he couldn't see clearly, he had guessed that it must be her, so he immediately chased her out without thinking.
The rain had gradually subsided, but the cloud had not dissipated, and the scenery ten steps away was still blurred. Fortunately, Geng Dian's lightness skills were superb, and as soon as he spotted a figure passing by the entrance of the cave, he immediately chased him in that direction.After chasing for a while, a black shadow ahead was already faintly visible.Geng Dian called out, "Is it Miss Yang?"
Yang Huanqing was at a loss, and after running for a while, he realized that he was going in the wrong direction.Luo Haowei was waiting for her in the east, but she ran to the west.
The lightness skills of the two were originally between brothers, but Yang Huanqing was finally gradually caught up by Geng Dian because of his restlessness.
Hearing Geng Dian calling her, Yang Huanqing was stunned for a moment: "Am I seeing him, or not?"
It was too late to say it, but it was soon, she hesitated for a while, Geng Dian had already come in front of her, and exclaimed with great joy: "Qingmei, it really is you!"
Yang Huanqing was still angry, pushed hard unconsciously, and said coldly: "Why are you running after me?"
Geng Dian was caught off guard and was almost pushed down by her. He is a person with excellent martial arts, and instinctively grabbed Yang Huanqing's wrist when he was leaning sideways.At this moment, Yang Huanqing suddenly thought about it: "How can I treat him like this?" He also unconsciously grabbed him and pulled him up.
The two grabbed each other at the same time, and they made do with each other, their bodies were already very close, their ears rubbed against each other, and their breath could be smelled.
Yang Huanqing's face flushed, she quickly shook off Geng Dian's hand, and took a step back.
Geng Dian said: "Sister Qing, what did I do wrong that you are so angry with me?"
Yang Huanqing blurted out and said: "You, you got it all wrong!" After the words came out, he regretted: "I shouldn't have spoken so bluntly!"
Geng Dian was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "What did I do wrong?"
Yang Huanqing had already spoken, and thought in her heart: "I'll just tell him clearly." Gritting her teeth, she said in a low voice: "You, I heard everything you said!" She wanted to explain in her heart, But the result can only go so far.
Geng Dian was surprised, happy, and embarrassed, and said: "You heard everything I said, so, you, you also know—" He wanted to talk about the marriage contract, but he couldn't come out in a hurry. in the mouth.At the same time, he still couldn't understand the meaning of Yang Huanqing's words for a while, and he thought to himself: "She said I got it all wrong, is she referring to the marriage contract? Or is it referring to her and Luo Haowei? What about the matter?"
Yang Huanqing turned her face and said, "Luo Haowei is here too, he's over there. You, you can ask him, is my friendship with him as you imagined?" The last two sentences , she spoke like mosquitoes, amidst the wind and rain, Geng Dian listened intently, but still couldn't hear clearly.
Geng Dian listened intently. He wanted to hear what Yang Huanqing had to say, but suddenly he could faintly hear the sound of metal and iron clanging, coming from the east.
Geng Dian was taken aback, and quickly asked, "Which side is Brother Luo on?"
Yang Huanqing said: "That's right, it's the direction you pointed at. Oh, it's not good!" At this time, she had heard the sound of gold and iron, and said quickly: "He must have encountered an enemy, let's hurry up!" Go and have a look."
Li Zhifang's lightness kung fu was far inferior to the two of them, when she got out of the cave, she was one step too late, and she went outside without knowing where Geng and Yang were going.
It was as dark as ink, and Li Zhifang was alone in the dense forest, feeling a little scared, thinking: "If that person is really a little witch, will Big Brother Geng come back? Sigh, he still misses that little witch in his heart! "
Li Zhifang felt uneasy, so she could only listen intently, hoping to hear their voices.She heard the sound of gold and iron clanging from the east, and immediately ran in that direction.The place she was in was closer to Luo Haowei, so although her lightness kung fu was weaker, she was the first to arrive.
Those two people were using sharp knives, Li Zhifang walked closer and saw the knives were as bright as snow, and the two black shadows were fighting fiercely, but for a while, they couldn't see clearly who they were.
Li Zhifang was surprised and delighted, and thought: "These two people seem to be men, and the little witch is not among them. Huh, but they don't look like Big Brother Geng."
Before thinking about it, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed in the sky, and one of them shouted "Ahhhh", "Miss, come quickly!"
Li Zhifang was stunned for a moment, only then did she realize that her guess was completely wrong.
It turned out that this man was named Li Pinghua, and he was her family general, and he was the family general whom his brother relied on as his confidant.
"Li Pinghua and his brother went to attack Qilian Mountain, why are they here? Could it be that something happened to my brother?" In that flash of light, Li Zhifang had already seen that Li Pinghua was being killed by that man in a hurry. Draw your sword to help.
Luo Haowei saw that the other party came to help, and thought: "I don't know how many people there are, they have to cut the mess quickly." Li Zhifang didn't know that he was Geng Dian's friend, and he didn't know who Li Zhifang was, the lightning flashed away , the two held hands in the dark.
Both sides used strange saber techniques, after more than ten strokes like lightning, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, Li Zhifang thought: "No wonder Li Pinghua is not his opponent, this man's saber skills are faster than mine!" Luo Haowei When I first saw that she was a woman, I didn't pay much attention to it, but now I was secretly surprised, thinking: "This woman's saber skills should not be underestimated!"
Both of them have their own advantages and disadvantages in their sword skills, Li Zhifang's body skills are relatively light and agile, but Luo Haowei has more experience in night battles than her.
Li Zhifang stabbed Luo Haowei twice, swiping twice, but Luo Haowei couldn't turn around, so he swooped forward with the horizontal knife.Li Zhifang knew that the other party bullied her and felt annoyed, but there was nothing she could do, so she took a step back and quickly walked up to his side, pointing the blade at the "Fengfu Point" behind his ear, Luo Haowei He had expected her to do this earlier, he bent his shoulders and shrunk his elbows, and slashed her shoulder back with the knife.The two sides rushed to attack each other, and exchanged dozens of moves in one breath. In the dark woods, there were only lights of knives flickering, and figures shuttled back and forth.
In the dramatic battle, Luo Haowei drew a circular arc with a sharp knife like lightning. This move has a famous name, it is called "Night Fighting Eight Directions". It was originally a defensive move against the enemy's siege. However, it turned into a pure offensive move to block the enemy's retreat from the front, rear, left, and right.
Luo Haowei yelled fiercely: "Throw the knife!" Only a "Dang" sound was heard, the two swords collided, sparks flew everywhere, Li Zhifang's strength was far inferior to his, and the weapon really dropped.
Luo Haowei freed his left hand and was about to catch her.Unexpectedly, Li Zhifang also shouted suddenly: "Throw the knife!" Luo Haowei's right hand holding the knife numb, and his long knife fell to the ground in response.
It turned out that what Li Zhifang used was a dangerous move to seek victory in defeat, her strength was not as strong as the opponent's, but her skill was more flexible than Luo Haowei's. As soon as she let go of the knife, she immediately deceived herself into the move, taking advantage of Luo Haowei's triumph, she pointed at Luo Haowei the pulse gate.
Luo Haowei roared, bent his left arm, and hugged Li Zhifang.With a backhand grab with his right hand, he immediately grabbed her left wrist as well.However, one arm of his was quite numb, and he was very strong, he could only use seven points of his strength, but he couldn't take Li Zhifang down despite his urgency.
When Li Pinghua saw that the young lady was being captured, he was shocked, so he raised his crescent scimitar and wanted to strike at her.Luo Haowei turned his heels, his left arm was still holding Li Zhifang, this slight turn immediately turned Li Zhifang's body around, facing Li Pinghua's blade, shouted: "You cut!"
Li Zhifang had never been so close to a man in her life, she couldn't help feeling ashamed and angry, and shouted: "Will you let go!"
Luo Haowei thought for a moment, thinking that the other party was a woman, he couldn't help but blushed.But at this moment, both sides lost their weapons, Luo Haowei had seen her ability, let go of her, he was afraid that she might not be her opponent, not to mention she had a general with a crescent scimitar watching over her.
At this moment, Luo Haowei didn't know whether to let her go, or capture her when he was gaining the upper hand.At this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "Third Brother, let go, she is one of my own!" Then a woman's voice shouted: "Brother Luo, this is Miss Li, don't be rude to her!"
Needless to say, it was Geng Dian and Yang Huanqing who came.
Luo Haowei was taken aback, and hurriedly let Li Zhifang go.Geng Dian rubbed the flint, picked up the two knives that fell on the ground, and handed them to them respectively.
Li Zhifang was still angry, took the knife and glared at Luo Haowei.
Geng Dian said: "This Miss Li is the daughter of the governor of Liangzhou. She and her brother are helping us in secret. This time, I am able to escape with my life thanks to her. Miss Li, he is me. I'm talking about the brother Luo Haoweiluo you mentioned, he is one of my best friends."
When Luo Haowei heard that she was Geng Dian's benefactor, he hurriedly cupped his fists to apologize, and said, "I didn't know it was Ms. Li, I offended you just now, please forgive me, Ms. Li."
When Li Zhifang saw that he had apologized, and then she knew that he was Geng Dian's good friend, the anger in her heart gradually disappeared.Said: "Just now I didn't check clearly, so I fought with you, there is something wrong with it."
Li Pinghua came up to meet Li again with Luo Haowei, and said: "I thought you were Wan Yanhao's subordinate, and you came secretly to check my whereabouts, this is really reckless of me."
Luo Haowei smiled and said, "I also thought you were the Eagle Claw who ambushed me secretly."
Geng Dian laughed loudly and said, "If you don't fight, you won't get to know each other. It's just a misunderstanding, so let's forget about it. But I have something unclear, and I want to ask Brother Li for advice."
Li Pinghua had met Geng Dian before, and immediately bowed and said, "I don't dare to do it. I don't know what Mr. Geng wants to know?"
Geng Dian said: "Didn't you set out with the army? Why are you here alone?"
Li Pinghua said: "I followed the young master's secret order to sneak back to Liangzhou."
Geng Dian said: "Did your young master fall out with Wan Yanhao and Jian Changchun?"
Li Pinghua said: "Not really."
Geng Dian said: "But why are you afraid that Wan Yanhao's people will follow you?"
Li Pinghua said: "Although we didn't fall out, our young master's situation is quite dangerous. If I sneak back to Liangzhou this time, if their people find out, I'm afraid it will also hurt young master."
Li Zhifang was taken aback, and quickly asked, "What happened to brother?"
Li Pinghua sighed: "This, it's a long story—"
At this time, the rain has lightened, but it is still gradually dripping.Geng Dian laughed and said: "Since it's a long story, let's go back to that cave and warm up by the fire." Everyone ran in the heavy rain just now, and their clothes were completely wet.
Li Zhifang and Yang Huanqing walked side by side, they couldn't help but feel confused, they didn't know what to say to her.
Yang Huanqing said: "Miss Li, I went to your house that night, but it was inconvenient to meet you at that time. Fortunately, we still met."
Recalling the situation that night, Li Zhifang was very embarrassed, and said: "Miss Yang, your qinggong is really admirable. At that time, Geng Dian said that someone outside was eavesdropping, but I still didn't believe it."
Yang Huanqing said: "I am also very grateful to you for treating Brother Geng so well."
Li Zhifang blushed, and couldn't help feeling a little sour in her heart, thinking: "What does she mean by saying that, isn't she clearly implying to me that her relationship with Geng Dian is closer than mine?"
The rain had stopped, Li Zhifang shook off the water drops on her clothes, and said with a smile: "Sister Yang, you are so polite, Brother Luo has already thanked me just now." It was because Luo Haowei and Geng Dian were good friends that he thanked her.She hoped so too.
Yang Huanqing smiled slightly and said: "Brother Luo's father is my master's best friend, and my father and Brother Geng's father are also best friends, but we didn't know it before. Well, there are often many unexpected things in the world, which cannot be predicted in advance. It’s like this when I met Brother Geng. Brother Geng and the Qinglong Gang have a deep connection, of course Brother Luo should thank you, but I should also thank you!"
These words are very implicit, but there is something in the words, but it is not difficult to understand.She separated herself from Luo Haowei. Luo Haowei was grateful to Li Zhifang for saving Geng Dian because of the origin of the Qinglong Gang, and she was grateful to her for the friendship between the two generations of Geng Dian. Although she did not mention the marriage contract, it was very obvious. It shows that the friendship between her and Geng Dian is really unusual.
Although she said these words for Li Zhifang, she also said them for Geng Dian on purpose.Geng Dian was walking and talking with Luo Haowei at the front, and he didn't know whether he was shocked by hearing her words or accidentally lost his footing, his body trembled suddenly, he stepped on a stone, and his right foot fell into the mud, covered by the mud his instep.
However, Luo Haowei did not pay attention to Yang Huanqing's words. Seeing Geng Dian's sudden stumble, he was taken aback, and was about to go to pull him, but Geng Dian pulled out his muddy foot and said with a wry smile: "The road in the dark is really difficult. Well, it’s almost dawn now.”
Luo Haowei was stunned, and thought to himself: "It's strange, why does he look like Huanqing just now, he seemed to be out of control and almost fell over. Their lightness skills are much better than mine, even if they are not used to walking in such mud Ordinarily, it shouldn’t be so embarrassing.”
The firelight at the entrance of the cave was already visible, Geng Dian said with a smile: "Don't worry, Brother Luo, I won't stumble again." He walked very quickly, and in a short while, he arrived at the cave.
Dongfang vomited white belly, and the rain had already stopped.The cave was narrow, and Geng Dian moved the fire out, and five people sat on the ground around the fire at the entrance of the cave. Li Pinghua began to tell about Li Xuesong's situation on Qilian Mountain.
"Young master is in a very dangerous situation. He is a vanguard in name, but he has no authority at all. It is difficult for him to give orders to his subordinates!" Li Pinghua said.
Li Zhifang said: "Why?"
Li Pinghua said: "My lord appointed Third Uncle Yanshou to be his military supervisor. He said that he was afraid that he would be too young to do anything, so he issued a warrant to obey his orders in everything in the army."
Geng Dian said: "What kind of person is your 'Third Uncle'?"
Li Zhifang pursed her lips and said: "What third uncle, I hate him when I mention him. He and my father are distant cousins who have only shared the same ancestor for five generations. He is the favorite to curry favor with the powerful. For us brothers and sisters, we dare not call them nephews and nieces, but young masters and misses, hmph, now he has no control over my elder brother."
Geng Dian said: "My father is shrewd and capable. Since he is such a villain, why does my father reuse him?"
Li Zhifang said: "The Kingdom of Jin destroyed our Liao Kingdom. He was the first person in the royal family to go and curry favor with Wan Yan Changzhi. Dad accepted the official position of the Kingdom of Jin, and he was the one who went through it. So once Dad did Manager of Liangzhou, he started shaking too."
Li Pinghua said: "I hate him too. But he is always the elder of the young master, and he has the warrant of the boss to be the supervisor of the army. The young master must obey his control."
Li Zhifang said: "Even if he is domineering, he would never dare to harm my brother, right? Why do you say my brother is in a very dangerous situation?"
Li Pinghua said: "There is another person who follows your elder brother. Wherever your elder brother goes, he does not leave his side. This person is your elder brother's entourage in name, but in fact he is of course ordered to monitor your elder brother."
Li Zhifang said: "Oh, there is such a person? Who is he ordered by?"
Li Pinghua said: "This person is one of the two attendants Wan Yanhao brought to Liangzhou, his name is Zheng Youbao."
Luo Haowei said: "No wonder we only met Ximen Zhushi that day. It turns out that Zheng Youbao has taken on a more important task."
Yang Huanqing said: "Zheng Youbao and Ximen Zhushi are Wan Yanhao's right and left hands. I heard that his martial arts are better than Ximen Zhushi."
Li Pinghua said: "That's right. Uncle Yanshou did not dare to harm the young master, but he has no scruples. The young master originally planned to secretly communicate with the Qinglong gang, but he followed the young master inseparably. How could the young master dare to act rashly?" Do you think this situation is quite dangerous?"
Li Zhifang said: "Then how is brother going to deal with him now?"
Li Pinghua said: "The young master is in a difficult situation. He can neither follow the original plan, nor is he willing to fight against the Qinglong Gang. Therefore, he can only pretend that he is not acclimatized, recuperate in the army, and avoid confrontation for the time being."
Geng Dian said: "Is Zheng Youbao willing to let Mr. Li stand still?"
Li Pinghua said: "He once took people up the mountain to search, but he didn't find an 'enemy'. The deeper he went into the mountain, the more dangerous the terrain was, so he didn't dare to go deep."
Luo Haowei said: "Brother Geng, don't worry, our main rudder has already moved to a hidden place. If the officers and soldiers want to sneak attack, they will never succeed. They can only rush to nothing and let us wait for the opportunity to annihilate."
Li Pinghua said: "Li Yanshou doesn't understand the art of war at all, Zheng Youbao is good at martial arts, but he is not a general, so now they can only station troops on the top of the front mountain, and wait for the commander Jian Changchun to come before they will attack."
Li Zhifang said: "Brother is pretending to be sick now, this is just a temporary tactic to delay the attack, he must find a way to get out of the predicament."
Li Pinghua said: "Yes, that's why he asked me to sneak back to Liangzhou."
Li Zhifang said: "What did he tell you to do?"
Li Pinghua said: "I will tell the master and madam that the young master is sick. Even if the old man is hard-hearted, the old lady will definitely need him to transfer the young master back."
李芷芳道：“一去一来，最少也得六七天工夫，倘若山上双方开始接触，我的哥哥可就为难了。他如今在郑友宝监视之下，处境甚危，我可不能不为他担心。嗯，我有一条计策，你们看好不好？我独自跑去见我哥哥。”
耿电说道：“你怎么可以让他们知道你偷上了祁连山？他们问你原因，你如何解释？”
李芷芳说道：“我冒充是爹爹派来叫哥哥回去的，谅李延寿不敢不信，他不信也不敢阻拦。”
李平化道：“不行！”李芷芳道：“何以不行？”李平化道：“有老大一个破绽，老大人怎肯让你孤身冒险，没有家将护从，就独自上山了？”
罗浩威接着说道：“咱们现在是在后山，从后山到前山，重峦叠嶂，地形复杂，不是十分熟悉道路的人，只怕会在荒山野林之中迷路，兜了许多圈子也走不出来。还有，倘若碰上我们的人，他们不知你的来历，只怕也不会让你过去。”
耿电忽地说道：“李姑娘这条计策是行得通的，我有一个法子。”
李芷芳道：“你有法子，赶快说呀！”
耿电笑道：“我这个法子要稍为委屈一下罗大哥。罗大哥，你和他们是没有朝过相的，你可以冒充她的家将，给她带路！”
李芷芳冷冷说道：“我可不敢委屈名列四大金刚中的青龙帮好汉。”显然对罗浩威仍是心中有气。
耿电笑道：“这可不是讲客气的时候，你帮了我们的忙，罗大哥当然也应该帮你的忙，对不对？我刚才说的不过是句笑话，其实怎能算是委屈呢，大家都是自己人嘛！”
李芷芳仍是冷冰冰的口气说道：“这可是你替他说的。”不过，口气虽然冰冷，大家却都可以听得出来，李芷芳已是唯恐罗浩威不给她带路了。虽然她下面那句话“怎知他答不答应？”没说出来。
杨浣青笑道：“罗大哥，你说话呀！江湖好汉，为朋友不辞两肋插刀，何况李公子还是青龙帮的恩人呢。你再不开口，我都要骂你了。”
罗浩威道：“杨姑娘，王吉豆腐店隔壁的那个张大叔，人可靠吗？”
杨浣青怔了一怔，说道：“你问这个干吗，我不是早已对你说过了，杨大哥和王吉那次得以脱险，那位张大叔着实帮了他们不少的忙，当然可靠。”
耿电已明白了他的意思，说道：“罗兄，你是要给杨大哥捎个信是不是？”罗浩威道：“不错，我应当先交代这桩事情。”当下回过头来，向李平化道：“李大哥可不可以帮我一个忙。”
李平化道：“你是帮忙小姐去救我的小主人的，有事但管吩咐，何须客气。”
罗浩威道：“请你给我捎个口信，给王吉那间豆腐店隔邻的那个卖菜的张老头，请他转告王吉，我不久要来凉州，在我未到之前，请他们暂停买卖。这事请你保守秘密，千万不可让你们总管府里面的人知道。”杨浣青接着把那间豆腐店的地址告诉他。
李平化道：“小人理会得。好，我先走啦。”此时天已亮了。
罗浩威说道：“杨姑娘，咱们总舵搬移到什么地方，你是知道的了？”杨浣青道：“知道，我自会带领耿大哥上山的，你放心吧。”罗浩威这才缓缓说道：“李姑娘，那么咱们也可以走了。”
耿电和杨浣青并肩同行，转过山坳，低声道：“罗大哥似乎不大愿意陪伴那位李姑娘，不知是不是因为，因为——”说至此处，停顿下来，眼睛望着杨浣青，原来他想说的是“不知是不是因为你的缘故？”但可是不便出之于口。
杨浣青何等聪明，一看他的神气，早已知道他下面要说的话了。
杨浣青哼了一声，说道：“你这人真是多疑！”
耿电心头一跳，说道：“哦，你以为这只是我的多疑？”
杨浣青说道：“为什么不是？我要说你看错了人啦？”
耿电说道：“我看错了人，你指的是——”
杨浣青说道：“罗浩威这个人我是知道的，去年我替师父传授他刀法，你猜他对我怎么样？”接着自问自答道：“他一直把我当作师父一样尊敬，一般朋友间开开玩笑的说话，他都没有和我说过半句。他的年纪比我大，这么样的尊重我，弄得我都不好意思。他是一个有恩必报的老实人，那位李姑娘于你有恩，也即是于他有恩了。他怎会像你所想的小心眼，为了别的什么缘故，就心里不愿意陪伴那位李姑娘。小心眼的人是有的，但绝不是他，只怕还是那位李姑娘吧。哼，哼，也许还有别人！”
杨浣青把郁积在心里的说话，一口气滔滔不绝地说了出来，表面上是在说罗浩威和李芷芳这次的事情，骨子里却是说自己和耿电的事情；表面上是反驳耿电对罗浩威的误解，骨子里则是为自己给耿电解释误会。妙就妙在她每一句话都可以移作两方面的解释。
耿电又是欢喜又是惭愧，心想：“我这误会可真是闹得大了，幸好还不至于闹到不可收拾的地步。”呆了半晌，笑道：“你说得不错，是我失言了。”
杨浣青“噗哧”一笑，说道：“当然不错，我要说的不是罗浩威不愿陪伴她，是她不喜欢罗浩威作伴，她喜欢的恐怕是另一个人。”
耿电大为尴尬，勉强笑道：“李姑娘是有点小姐脾气，心地还是好的。她虽然刚才和罗大哥闹得不大愉快，但罗大哥帮了她这次大忙，她一定会感激罗大哥的。经过了这次事情之后，我想他们也会变成好朋友的。嘿嘿，事情果然不出我的所料，这倒是应了一句俗语！”
杨浣青笑道：“你先别说，让我猜猜。啊，这句俗语一定是：不是冤家不聚头！”
耿电笑道：“一点不错，正是：不是冤家不聚头！”
初升的太阳把他们两人的影子拉在一起。他们并肩走路，本来也还有一点距离的，但地上的影子却是两个头并在一起了。
当他们说到“不是冤家不聚头”这句俗语之时，蓦地发现地上并着头的影子，这刹那间两人不觉脸同时红了。
