Chapter 17 Chapter 17 Wanting to Seek a Confidant
The man was blowing to the last syllable, and he seemed to be intoxicated by the music. He was attacked by the Penglai Witch like lightning and retreated to the edge of the cliff unconsciously. The Penglai Witch thought: "You If you don't play the flute to parry, then you are looking for your own death!" After the song ended, the lingering sound lingered, and the man's flute was still on his lips.How quick the Penglai Witch's attack was, just when the man was about to move Dongxiao away to parry, she stabbed again with a "shua" sword.Facing a strong enemy, she instinctively used the most powerful killer as soon as she had a chance to win. The sword was like a rainbow, with the faint sound of wind and thunder. It stabbed him in the chest.
The man stepped into the air, and suddenly, like a kite with a broken string, he fluttered and fell off the cliff!When the Penglai Witch was fighting him just now, all she could think of was how to kill him, but she never thought that the victory would come so easily. At this moment, she couldn't help being surprised, and felt a loss in her heart, with a bit of regret , shouted out dangerously: "Ah, he died just like that?"
Fortunately, she didn't make a sound, at this moment, she saw that person turned over like a kite in mid-air, stepped on the instep of his left foot with his right foot, and landed smoothly on the ground.He could only hear him chanting loudly: "I'm drifting away from the lake and the sea, what do you want to say goodbye to, Your Majesty? Farewell!" With a loud roar, he unfolded his super lightness kung fu. Under the bewilderment, it has turned into a blurred black spot, and after a while, even the blurry shadow is gone.But the whistling sound still came from afar, like a dragon flying out of the sky!
The Penglai Witch was at a loss, and after a long, long time, she finally came to her senses and thought to herself: "This man's martial arts are superior to mine, it seems that he intends to let me down, but he doesn't know what his intention is? Hey, Wan Yanliang has this I will never go to assassinate him again. Well, it is really hard to guess what kind of person this person is!"
The Penglai Witch groaned alone, and was about to leave, when she suddenly heard a faint sound, and she knew that a night walker with a good lightness kung fu had arrived.Qu Ran, the witch of Penglai, was startled, and pondered: "Could it be that this strange man has come back again? Why is it the sound of two people's footsteps?" Without thinking about it, she jumped onto a tree to observe the movement carefully.
Sure enough, under the moonlight, I saw two officers coming side by side, but the man just now was not there.Of these two people, one was Tan Daoqing, the commander of the Royal Forest Army of the Kingdom of Jin, and the other Penglai Witch could not be named, but he only recognized one of the warriors of the Kingdom of Jin who had fought against her just now.The strength of martial arts is only inferior to Master Jiuluo, Tan Daoqing and Bei Gongzui.Among Wan Yanliang's group of warriors, he was considered outstanding.
The two came to the place where the Penglai Witch fought fiercely with that person just now, and inspected the traces of the fight left on the ground, Tan Daoqing said in a clear voice: "Long live, please allow us to see you, sir." The desolate forest was silent, only Tan Daoqing himself echo.
Tan Daoqing sighed, and said: "Ah, it seems that he still refuses to obey the edict!" The warrior suddenly screamed!
Tan Daoqing asked: "What's the fuss?" The warrior said: "General Tan, look here, there is only half a footprint on the edge of the cliff, and half of this clod is missing, it just fell. Oh, I don't see it well. Could it be that the man has already been poisoned by the Penglai Witch!" It turned out that he was looking at the traces of the fight just now on the edge of the cliff, there was only half a footprint on the edge of the cliff, and it could be seen that it was not a woman's footprint, so he guessed that the man had died. Forced to fall off a cliff by the Penglai Witch.
This deduction was good at first, but Tan Daoqing snorted, didn't go to check at all, and said coldly: "Nonsense, how can our Wulin Tianjiao lose to others?" Only then did the Penglai Witch know that the man was called "Wulin Tianjiao" ", I thought: "This title is very fresh, but the tone is too big."
The warrior was very unconvinced, but Tan Daoqing was his immediate superior, but he didn't dare to refute, he asked for a while: "General Tan, have you seen this martial arts talent?" Tan Daoqing said: "I have met once." The warrior said: "I've only heard about his deeds, General Tan, is his martial arts really as powerful as other people say? In your opinion, how is Master Jiu Luo compared to him?" Tan Daoqing said: "That's like a stream is compared to the sea, Fireflies are not comparable to moonlight at all. Don’t think that the witch is invincible when she wins Master Jiuluo, our martial artist can definitely subdue her.” The warrior was still puzzled, and couldn’t help but said again "But look at the footprints on the edge of the cliff..." Tan Daoqing interrupted him and said: "The footprints can be used to infer that the martial arts of Wulin Tianjiao are unfathomable, and he always does things unexpectedly, how can you know it's not him?" Kill that witch, or capture that witch."
The samurai said: "So, he has gone to report to the emperor to receive the reward, what are we still waiting for?" Tan Daoqing sneered: "If Wulin Tianjiao wants to receive the reward from the emperor, he will not be punished." It's called 'Tianjiao'! You don't know—" In the middle of speaking, he stopped suddenly, and the samurai said: "I don't know what?" Tan Daoqing said: "Needless to say, it's not good for you to know these things." Then Bushido: "I also have some rumors. I heard that the emperor wants to use him but is afraid of him. This..." Tan Daoqing shouted: "We can't talk about royal affairs." Show up, then we have to go back."
The Penglai Witch was trying to find out the origin of the martial arts genius from these two people, now seeing these two people and going back, how could she let them go?With a sneer at the moment, he jumped down from the tree and said, "Who do you think I am? I'm not dead yet! Who is Wulin Tianjiao, tell me quickly?" The warrior turned pale with fright, and said in his heart: "It really is her Kill Wulin Tianjiao."
As the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, Tan Daoqing's martial arts courage is of course far higher than that of the warrior. Although the Penglai Witch came out of nowhere and was beyond his expectation, he did not panic. Penglai Witch stabbed, Penglai Witch twisted the fly, Tan Daoqing's long sword was able to change in time, avoiding Penglai Witch's flying fly to grab the sword, and then launched a quick confrontation with Penglai Witch.
That samurai drew out the crescent scimitar and came up to help in the battle. He knew he was going to die, but he forgot to be afraid, shouted and fought fiercely, unexpectedly every cut was a life-saving sword technique.The Penglai Witch made an opening and let him hack in with a single knife. When he came to the front, she suddenly held the whisk upside down and used it as a judge's pen. With a touch of the dust stick, it hit the "Huantiao Point" on the warrior's knee, the crescent moon of the warrior. The scimitar stopped in mid-air, unable to move immediately.
Tan Daoqing blocked the stabbing with a long sword, and he fought endlessly. In a blink of an eye, he fought with the Penglai Witch for more than 20 moves.When the fight got to a tight spot, Penglai Witch's sword formula was used, and he rushed towards the empty door. Tan Daoqing backhanded the sword, only to feel the breeze, Penglai Witch had changed her position, the tip of the sword was shaking on the left side, pointing at the vital point on his left rib , Tan Daoqing turned his sword back, and the Penglai Witch came to his right again, with a ray of blue light, and the tip of the sword pointed to his right rib point again.Tan Daoqing used several body techniques and several sword techniques, but he still couldn't get rid of them. The Penglai Witch always took a quick step, pointing the tip of her sword at his vital acupuncture points.
It turns out that the purpose of the Penglai Witch is to save a life, otherwise, how can Tan Dao be demolished beyond thirty moves?At this time, Tan Daoqing was completely restrained by her, as long as she sent the tip of her sword forward, Tan Daoqing's life could be killed. Tan Daoqing shouted: "If you want to kill, you will kill, but you don't do it. What is your intention?" The Penglai Witch laughed. : "General Tan, are you convinced? You are also a man. I don't want to kill you. Who is the martial arts genius? If you tell his origin, I will let you go back." Tan Daoqing said angrily: " A man would rather die than be humiliated, how can I beg for mercy under your sword? It is easy to kill me, but it is difficult for me to confide a word!" Suddenly, she wanted to return her sword to her dantian, and the Penglai witch snatched his long sword away with a whisk. He shot it, but the point of his sword had cut through his lower abdomen, and blood was dripping down.
Seeing that he was so strong, the Penglai Witch had some respect for him. She wanted to let him escape, so she turned around and ignored him. With a flick of the dust, she unlocked the warrior's acupoints, pointed at him with the tip of her sword and said: "Although you have never met Wulin Tianjiao, you have heard many things about him. As long as you tell me what you know, I will spare your life." The warrior had a glimmer of life, his heart was shaken, hesitating for a moment, He mumbled: "I, I said..." Just as he uttered these two words, he suddenly heard two hisses, and the Penglai Witch waved one of the sleeve arrows, but the other sleeve arrow shot at him from a different direction. That warrior, Penglai Witch, didn't have time to pounce, only heard the warrior scream, the sleeve arrow had passed through his throat, and he couldn't survive.
The Penglai witch scolded: "It's unreasonable. I let you escape, but you came to ruin my business! Do you think I really dare not kill you?" When I looked around, I saw Tan Daoqing shaking like a candle in the wind , intermittently said: "Dajin Kingdom can't keep such boneless people, I want you to know that Dajin Kingdom also has heroes!" Suddenly a mouthful of blood spewed out, "plop" fell down, it turned out that he was shooting and killing that warrior Afterwards, he also broke his meridians and died from the shock!
After the bloody storm, the desolate forest returned to silence, leaving only two corpses on the ground.The origin of the Wulin Tianjiao that the Penglai Witch wants to know is still an unsolved mystery!
The Penglai witch climbed Mount Tai this time, originally to track down the "Smiling Proud Universe" maniac Hua Guhan, but unexpectedly ran into a "martial arts hero", and a fierce fight temporarily left Hua Guhan behind .At this moment, the fierce fight was over, and the shadow of Hua Guhan came to mind again. The Penglai Witch unconsciously reminded the two of them: "Wulin Tianjiao knows the name of Xiaoao Qiankun Hua Guhan, I don't know if they know each other." I don't know which of the two of them is superior in martial arts? Even if the Wulin Tianjiao is not the eagle dog of the Jin Dynasty, he is also the one who wants to protect Wan Yanliang. From Tan Daoqing's conversation with the warrior just now, this 'Wulin Tianjiao' is probably a nobleman of the Jin Dynasty Well, Xiaoao Qiankun Hua Guhan is a man of the Song Dynasty, a hero of the Jianghu, the two of them are definitely not on the same side." But then he thought: "Although the two of them are not on the same side, Hua Guhan must also know this The origin of Wulin Tianjiao, but unfortunately Hua Guhan does not know where?"
Thinking of this point, the Penglai Witch couldn't help but feel melancholy. The mystery of her own life experience, the mystery of the survival of her parents, and the mystery of the origin of the Wulin Tianjiao, all these mysteries are waiting for Hua Guhan to solve for her, but they have no chance to meet each other. .The Penglai Witch thought: "Tan Daoqing also knows how to search for sounds and traces. If Hua Guhan is in this mountain and he hears the whistling of Wulin Tianjiao, wouldn't it arouse his curiosity? How could he not come out?" Li? Presumably he is not in Mount Tai anymore."
The Penglai Witch was bewildered, and it was already dawn before she knew it.She was standing on the top of Mount Tai at this time, and she saw groups of white clouds gathering together, with white light shining in the clouds, the sky in the east gradually turned red from hazy, and in a blink of an eye, a shining silver line appeared in the sky, which was hundreds of thousands of people. In the East China Sea inside and outside, the dazzling half-round red sun suddenly emerged from the clouds and mists, reflecting the red glow for a long time, and the earth was a golden color.It is one of the rare wonders in the world to watch the sun bathing in the East China Sea from the top of Mount Tai.The end point is: the glow on the water surface is brilliant; the sun wheel suddenly appears, and the sky is clear.It is suddenly enlightened and broad-minded!
The clouds and mist dispersed, and dawn appeared. Looking down from the top of the mountain, we also saw banners flying, and an army of ants moving on the hillside.The Penglai Witch thought to herself: "It turns out that Wan Yanliang was escorted by the Imperial Forest Army. He must have been frightened last night and wanted to mobilize the Imperial Forest Army to search the mountain. The assassination failed last night, and it will be even more difficult to assassinate him in the future. It's going to be difficult."
The Penglai witch was not afraid of the search by the Imperial Forest Army, but she couldn't help but be surprised when she saw Wanyan Liang's military appearance.At this time, she was bathed in the golden morning sun, staring at the East China Sea, the vast mountains and rivers of the motherland, rushing to her eyes, and the personal troubles in her heart dissipated under the sun like clouds and mist.She was startled, and suddenly thought: "The Kingdom of Jin is going to invade the Song Dynasty. What an important matter! How can I just think about my own affairs? Well, I have to find a way to report this important event to the Southern Song Dynasty." It would be good for the imperial court." Her original plan was that if Hua Guhan could not be found in Mount Tai, she would go out to the East China Sea to visit the East Garden and inquire about Hua Guhan's news. At this time, she was thinking: "The trip to the East China Sea Let’s wait. Geng Zhao and Shan Shan are heading to Jiangnan, I have to catch up with them first. If I can’t see them, I’ll go to Jiangnan by myself!”
The witch of Penglai has made up her mind, and her troubles are gone. She put aside all the arrogant and martial arts talents, and immediately performed her superb lightness kung fu, climbed over the highest peak of Mount Tai, "Yuhuangding", and descended from the south.Those ant-like Yulin soldiers have not climbed to Ertianmen yet.
Taking advantage of the early morning hours, when there were few pedestrians, the Penglai Witch ran for tens of miles at a stretch. After passing Tai'an County, it was close to Cuiyang. Before she knew it, it was almost noon, and the Penglai Witch gradually felt a little hungry in her belly. Slowed down.
Arriving at a three-way intersection, I suddenly saw colorful flags fluttering, suonas roaring, a group of drummers followed a sedan chair, and the noise of "the beating and beating" was in full swing, but the cries from the sedan chair were extremely bleak, whistling, blowing, beating, beating, etc. The music can't cover up, forming a very discordant ensemble.
The Penglai Witch thought to herself: "It turned out to be a marriage. Why is the bride crying all the time? Well, how dare she not be happy about this marriage?" You must know that according to folk customs, when the bride gets married, in order to express her reluctance to leave Parents, you always have to cry a lot, but after you get on the sedan chair, you have to stop crying, otherwise you will violate the taboo of the man's family.The bride wailed loudly in the sedan chair, crying so miserably.It definitely doesn't seem to be pretending on purpose; therefore, the Penglai Witch can't help but find it surprising.There are also a few strange things. According to local customs, the groom should ride a horse to greet the bride, and the relatives of the bride's family should also be escorted, but only drummers and people holding colorful flags escorted the sedan chair.In front of the bridal sedan chair, neither the bridegroom in red and colorful and leading on horseback, nor the bridegroom behind the bridal sedan chair were found.And those drummers and banner holders were all strong and strong men, even the four bearers walked like flying.When the Penglai witch saw them, she knew that they were people who had practiced a little kung fu.There have always been many "thieves" (robbers) in Shandong, and the folk customs are martial arts, and it is a year of chaos in the world. It is not surprising that the country people have practiced a little kung fu.But people like drummers and bearers were always regarded as "untouchables" among the people at that time, especially drummers, most of them were weak or weak people who were willing to take on the job, but this team of drummers, everyone They are all strong men, which is a bit surprising.
According to Penglai Witch's temper, she would have to ask for clarification in normal times.But at the moment she has something on her mind.Although he felt a little strange, he immediately thought: "80% of them are kidnappers, right? It's a common practice in the countryside that the man's family can't afford the bride price, or the woman's family delays in marrying the daughter, and the groom sends someone to snatch the bride back. As for whether the bride is willing or not, that is another matter. Ah, the fate of a girl’s family is always in the hands of others. It is difficult to find a satisfactory groom in the first place. How can you control so much? Is she willing? Happy, it's just a pool of spring water, what's your business?" The Penglai witch thought about it, and hurried on her own way, and the procession of welcoming the bride also passed by.
The Penglai Witch took a different path from them. After walking for a while, they passed a hut by the side of the road, and suddenly heard crying in the house, an old woman's voice crying: "Old man, our daughter has been snatched away. We can't survive. Ah, we might as well die!"
Immediately there were two sounds of "dong dong", the sound of fists beating against the board wall, and an old man gasped and said, "Hateful! Hateful! I hate that I am sick, and I just watched my daughter being snatched away. Now I can't survive." I can’t beg for death. Wife, I don’t have the strength to hang myself, you can find a rope and strangle me to death!” The old woman screamed, “Xi’er’s father!” and cried loudly while hugging the old man.
The thatched hut was riddled with leaks, and there was a fist-sized hole in the wall.The Penglai witch passed by the side of the road, not only could hear the crying in the house, but also could see the situation in the house.The Penglai Witch couldn't hold back anymore, she pushed open the door with a "bang" and broke into the house.
The old woman was startled, and shouted: "Your Majesty, you have gone to the wrong house." She only thought it was a robber, but when she took a closer look, she realized that she was a beautiful woman, but she also had a sword, so she couldn't help being suspicious. Indefinitely, the crying stopped unconsciously.
The old man lying on the kang said: "Queen, you came just in time. I don't want to live for a long time. I'm not afraid of your jokes. I'm too poor to afford arsenic, and I can't even find a rope in the house. Please help me." Show mercy and kill me with one sword!"
The Penglai Witch smiled and said, "I didn't go to the wrong place, but you guys misunderstood the wrong person. I came to save you, not to kill you." The old man was stunned for a while, and said for a while: "You came to save me Yes? Thank you for your kindness. But no one can save me! My daughter was snatched away, how can I survive?"
The Penglai Witch said: "Don't worry, tell me first, who robbed your daughter, I will get it back for you right away!" The old woman said: "There is no such easy thing, she was snatched by Huo Yanluo , or come back!"
The Penglai witch said: "Who is the living Yan Luo?" The old woman said: "He is a man who has been a high-ranking official and has many thugs. Girl, I don't want to implicate you. You, you don't have to worry about it. The old woman is dead. Thank you." The Penglai witch said: "Don't be afraid, if the living Yama meets me, I will also peel him a layer of skin! Please explain clearly, who is his name, where does he live, and how did he rob your daughter? I'm going to settle accounts with him!"
The old woman was so frightened when she heard the Penglai Witch's tone of voice, she stuttered and couldn't speak.Still, the old man had some knowledge and saw that the Penglai Witch was not an ordinary person, so he thought: "It doesn't matter if she has a way or not, let's try it, that's okay. I'm going to die anyway, so it's okay to express my grievances." So he said: "This life Yan Luo's surname is Yan, his name is Fo'an, and he used to be the magistrate of Laizhou. There is a word "Buddha" in his name, and he is extremely cruel to the common people, so everyone calls him Huo Yanluo." He said out of breath. These words, coughing non-stop.The old lady poured a bowl of water for him to drink, and the Penglai witch said: "You rest and talk." The old man said: "No, you let me talk about it. I have endured this for a long time. This is the work of Yan Luo's family." There are thousands of acres of land, no longer an official, and he is still domineering when he returns to the countryside. My family planted a few acres of land for him, but the harvest was lost due to severe drought, and he could not pay the rent. I want to snatch my daughter to be his concubine. I got sick again and can’t work. Alas, alas, how do you think you can still live?”
The Penglai witch's heart moved, and she said: "I just met a sedan chair at the intersection of the three forks, and the bride in the sedan chair was crying and crying. She must be your daughter?" They sent thugs to snatch it just now. Oh, poor daughter!" The couple hugged their heads and cried again.
The Penglai witch said: "Don't cry, don't cry, where does this living Yan Luo live?" The old man said: "I live in Baisha Village, which is the road on the left of the Sancha Road, about seven or eight miles away, the biggest blue tower in the village A brick house with a wall.” The Penglai Witch said: “Okay, I see. I’m going to kill the living Yan Luo and bring your daughter back.” The old woman cried out in fright: “Girl, this is terrible. It's not a joke, this, this is going to cause a big disaster! We don't regret our death, don't implicate you, girl!"
The Penglai Witch was about to step out of the threshold. After hearing this, she came back and said, "By the way, I should make some arrangements for you." The witch didn't dare to go, and wanted to save him with money. Although she was grateful, she was also a little disappointed, and said, "Girl, thank you for pitying the poor and caring for the old, but it's meaningless for the old man to live for a few more years. I'd better ask you to give me money." Take back the money and let the old man die."
The Penglai witch said: "You are dead, who can you rely on when your daughter comes back? I can't keep her with me, do you have the heart to let her fall into the wrong hands again?" The old man was stunned, and said: "What, You, are you still going to kill Yan Luo and bring my daughter back?"
The Penglai Witch smiled and said: "Of course, when will I say I can't go? Here are three ingots and five taels of silver. Old woman, please hire a mule cart to wait for me. As soon as your daughter comes back, get on the mule cart and leave immediately. Let's go." The farther you go, the better. Keep the rest of the money for medical treatment, and you can do a little business, so you don’t have to plant the rich man’s field anymore, and you won’t be angry with the rich man.” After finishing speaking, he left the money and left.Seeing that the Penglai Witch seemed to be very confident in what she said, as if killing that living Yama could be done without any effort, the old man couldn't help being dubious.He murmured, "If that's the case, then we have met a living Bodhisattva. Wife, then follow the Bodhisattva's order and hire a mule cart."
The Penglai Witch found the big green brick house of the Yan family, and saw that there were lanterns hanging on the door. It really looked like a happy event, and there was a pair of red paper couplets on both sides of the door: "I am happy to have a little star to accompany the moon. I am ashamed that there is no purpose to drink." Welcome." This is the common wedding couplet for marrying a bride: "I am happy to have a fragrant car to welcome a lady, but I am ashamed to serve guests with wine without a purpose." Changing a few words, it became a "happy couplet" for concubines.The Penglai Witch thought to herself: "Hateful, hateful, forcibly robbing someone else's Huanghua girl to be a concubine, and yet being so happy, posting such stinky, nondescript couplets. Okay, let me see later whether you are happy or sad? "At the moment, without a name, without gifts, just rush in as soon as you try your best.The Yan family is a family of officials and eunuchs, with a lot of friends, the head of the family takes concubines, and the family is full of congratulatory guests.The Penglai witch's clothes are not bad, and she has a majestic and noble demeanor. The intellectuals who are welcoming guests outside the door find it strange to see a single woman with a whisk behind her back. She doesn't look like a Taoist nun or a rich lady. He said: "The master has friends with everyone, this woman is bold and straightforward, it seems that she has a lot of background..." Thinking about it, I didn't dare to stop it.
The Penglai witch rushed to the banquet, only to see that the hall was full of guests, men and women, very lively.At this time, the seats are just set, and the guests are roughly seated.The Penglai Witch glanced over, but saw that the heads were all officials in python robes and jade belts, and the one sitting in the head seat was an old man with grizzled hair who was nearly sixty years old, with a red silk flower stuck in his lapel, smiling from ear to ear, presumably It is the "Living Yama" Yanfo Temple who is full of joy and waiting to be the bridegroom.
The Penglai witch shot her eyes towards Yan Fo'an, and Yan Fo'an's eyes were also looking at her, he couldn't help being shocked, he had seen many women in his life, but how often had he seen such a beautiful woman?He thought to himself: "Whose woman is this? She is a hundred times better than the one I snatched! I just don't know what identity it is?"
In the customs of the Kingdom of Jin, the barriers between men and women are not very strict. It is not uncommon for male and female guests to mix together, but the seats are separated.Seeing the Penglai Witch walking towards him, Yan Fo'an felt joyful and a little strange at the same time, stood up quickly and said, "Excuse me for my bad memory, I can't remember where I saw it? Is your father coming with you? "
The Penglai Witch secretly laughed in her heart: "You are not living Yan Luo, you are living hell." Deliberately teasing, she said casually: "Master Yan, you are busy with your affairs, how do you remember me as a little girl? When you were in Laizhou, my father was there You are on an errand, ha, do you remember?" Yan Fo'an scratched his head, suddenly realized something, and said: "Oh, I remember, you are the daughter of General Yang?" The Penglai witch said: "Yes, My lord, your memory is not too bad." Yan Fo'an has only one general, Yang Shen, who has a young daughter who has been outstanding since she was a child. Said: "You were still a little girl with two braids at that time, but now, the longer you are, the more beautiful you are. If you hadn't reminded me, I really wouldn't dare to recognize you. Where is your father?" The Penglai witch said: " The weather has been bad recently, and his old injury has recurred, so he can't get out of bed. I heard that the boss is taking a concubine, so I had to ask me to come to congratulate him instead." She thought that a military officer would inevitably be injured, so she started talking nonsense.
At this time, the servant was already waiting to serve the food, Yan Foan said: "Oh, that's how it is. Please take a seat over there. It's rare for you to come, but you have to stay for two more days. Butler, take this girl to Mrs. That table. Ask Madam to entertain you."
The Penglai Witch thought to herself: "The bride hasn't come out yet, and I'm hungry. Anyway, he's an ant on my palm. I can pinch him to death at any time, and let's eat him."
Yan Fo'an was not completely unsuspecting, he could also see that the Penglai witch had a weapon hidden on her body, but he thought she was the daughter of a military officer, and she was not old enough, so it was not surprising that she had a weapon for self-defense, not to mention that she was a single woman , Even if it is an assassin, it will not help.Therefore, he was afraid that the Penglai witch would leave, and he was secretly planning in his heart, Zensheng also got this beautiful Jiao'e into his hands.
The female guests sit on the other side, and the main room of Yan Fo'an is the chief master, accompanied by many officials' wives.The housekeeper arranged the Penglai Witch's seat next to the main seat. Mrs. Yan was a little surprised and was very upset, but the Penglai Witch didn't care about it, and Da Ma Jindao sat down.
Mrs. Yan pursed her lips, and said coldly: "My father likes to bring some flirty hoofs to the door. He just asked for one last year, and this year he asked for this again. Now I don't know which one he likes. How wicked!" The wife persuaded: "Your master is both rich and honorable. He has become such a big official. If you don't ask for a few lesser ones, he is not worthy of his status. Ma'am, just look at it. My master, the official is not yet It’s so big, I’ve asked for seven small ones.” Another lady of the official said: “As the saying goes: ‘An old fashioned style is a sign of longevity’, but if your master lives a long life, let him ask for a few more. My little one, it is your blessing to serve and serve you!" These officials and wives wanted to flatter Yan Fo'an and Mrs. Yan, and all they said were disgusting words.The Penglai Witch got impatient, picked up the glass and said, "Mrs. Yan, what you said is good, you are really wicked! I offer you a toast." Mrs. Yan's sarcastic remarks were originally referring to Sang and Huai, secretly satirizing the Penglai Witch. She was indeed afraid that her "Master" would fall in love with the Penglai Witch, but unexpectedly, the Penglai Witch grabbed her word and toasted her, saying "It's really wicked", which scolded Yan Fo'an and seemed to scold her at the same time.Mrs. Yan was full of anger, but she wanted to maintain her status as an official wife, but it was inconvenient for her to have a fit, so she had to hold back her anger and have a drink with the Penglai Witch.
The male guests were also booing. It turned out that they were urging the "bridal wife" to come out to toast. Yan Fo'an smiled and said: "My concubine is the daughter of a small family. She doesn't know etiquette. She will come out later. If there is any lack of manners, Please forgive me, my lords." Those officials laughed loudly and said: "Master Yan really loves his wife, and he helped her speak before she came out." Yan Foan waved his hand with a smile, and said to the housekeeper: "Since All the adults appreciate the face like this, you should urge the new aunt to come out and kowtow to all the adults quickly."
Mrs. Yan was so angry that she couldn't eat anything at the banquet, she rubbed her heart and said her heart hurts.The Penglai Witch thought to herself: "After the 'Bride' comes out, I'm going to do something. I should eat more now." No matter how polite she is, she picked up the cup and chopsticks, as if there was no one else around, just like that. Eat and drink.The officials and wives at the same table were stunned and thought to themselves: "Such a beautiful girl, but she looks like a female robber!" How did they know that the Penglai Witch was originally a robber.
After a while, the housekeeper came out and murmured something in Yan Fo'an's ear, Yan Fo'an's face changed color, it turned out that the "new concubine" was crying in the new room and refused to come out even to death.Yan Fo'an held back his breath and said in a deep voice: "You go to pass on my order again, and if you don't obey, pull her out."
Yan Fo'an was angry when he heard someone report: "Yang Shen is coming." Yan Fo'an was taken aback for a moment and said, "Please come in!" The Penglai witch was startled, and then thought: "That's fine! Wait for him to uncover it." If I told my lie, I will do it in advance." After drinking a few drinks in a hurry, he ate another chicken leg.
Then General Yang Shen came to Yan Fo'an, performed an official ceremony, and said, "I heard that my lord is taking a concubine, so I came here specially from the city. I am late, please forgive me, my lord." Yan Fo'an asked, "Aren't you Has the old injury recurred? I heard that I can’t get out of bed, how did it heal so quickly?”
General Yang Shen was stunned for a while, and said in a low voice: "Who did you listen to, my lord?" Yan Fo'an knew that something was wrong, and asked in a low voice: "Where is your lady?" , I will bring her to visit the old lady and the new concubine some other day."
Yan Fo'an was taken aback, and thought: "What a bold female thief, dare to pretend to be General Yang's daughter. Could it be that she intends to harm me?" She, on top of this wedding feast, if she moves her hands, it will kill the scenery." At this moment, someone heard a loud report: "General Geng sent Mr. Xin to send a congratulatory gift!"
Yan Fo'an's joy was no small matter, and he quickly said: "Open the middle door to welcome!" He thought: "This female thief is alone, what should I worry about? I still want to accept her as my new favorite, so I can't embarrass her too much. Besides General Geng's people are here, if a joke is made at this moment, it will be even worse. Anyway, she is a steamed bun, and I will swallow her slowly, and I am afraid that she will fly?" General Yang Shen said: "I can't remember who I heard it from, I think it was a misinformation. Okay, okay, since you are safe and sound, then congratulations, just stay here to accompany my guests! This Mr. Xin You are also familiar."
The housekeeper came to report again: "The new aunt still refuses to come out to toast." Yan Fo'an's complexion sank, and the housekeeper said in a low voice: "She is crying and pulling it out, I'm afraid it won't look good." Yan Fo'an said: "Tell her , if she is still stubborn and refuses to toast, I will send someone to kill her parents immediately to see if she dares to resist!" The housekeeper answered "Yes", and Yan Fo'an said: "Wait a minute, there is one more thing , you do it first." Said a few words in the ear of the housekeeper.
At this time, the drum music was playing outside to welcome the guests. When the guests heard that "General Geng" had sent congratulatory gifts, they all became agitated and said, "Master Yan is so honorable!" No one heard what the general said except their guests at the same table.
The Penglai Witch was preparing for something to happen, but she saw that General Yang was sitting next to Yan Fo'an, and he didn't even look at her. Obviously, Yan Fo'an hadn't told him the truth.The Penglai Witch was bold and bold, and she thought to herself: "I don't know what kind of plan Yan Luo is planning? Well, let's leave him alone. I don't know who this General Geng is. He just sent his subordinates to give gifts, and it caused such a sensation. What if he came in person?"
An official lady at the banquet said: "Mrs. Yan, your master is really proud of himself. He married a young wife, and he surprised General Geng to give gifts, and even sent his most trusted secretary (secretary), Mrs. Xin, to congratulate him. " Another official wife said: "Who is this Mr. Xin?" The official wife said: "You don't know this Mr. Xin, he is the famous Xin Qiji. I heard from my master that he is versatile in both civil and military affairs. I don’t know what words and poems are filled in very well, but they are all praised by men, so it must be amazing. I also heard that he is young and has not yet engaged, but I don’t know whose family Miss, are you so lucky?" Mrs. Yan said with a smile, "It's a pity that I don't have a daughter, Mrs. Wang, you have several daughters, don't miss this person." Surprised.
It turns out that Xin Qiji (style name You'an, nickname Jiaxuan) was indeed the most talented poet in the Northern Kingdom at that time. People compared him with Su Xueshi Dongpo, a generation of writers in the Northern Song Dynasty, and they were collectively called "Su Xin".The Penglai Witch has not only heard his name for a long time, but also likes to read his ci, thinking: "His ci is bold and unrestrained, and always has nostalgia for the homeland. Clear river water, how many pedestrians cry in the middle. Looking at Chang'an from the northwest, I feel sorry for the countless mountains. The green mountains can't cover them, after all, they flow eastward. The river is full of sorrow at night, and the mountains are deep to hear partridges.' An air of loyalty and anger is vivid on the paper. The words, such a person, how could he come here for General Geng and give gifts to this living Yan Luo? Isn't this incredible?"
Before he could finish his thoughts, he saw that Xin Qiji had already walked in. He was indeed very young, about twenty years old, with sword eyebrows and tiger eyes, full of heroism, followed by a warrior, even younger than him.Behind is a group of soldiers carrying congratulatory gifts.那些官太太们啧啧称赏，“这位辛大人果然仪表非凡！”“难得他有潘安之貌，又有子建之才！”有的官太太甚至连带称赞他的从人，说道：“你们瞧，他这个随从武士也长得挺俊，真是有其主必有其仆！”
人人都注目辛弃疾，蓬莱魔女却更注意他那个随从武士。辛弃疾在这样一个场合出现，蓬莱魔女已是大大诧异，而那个青年武士随着他来，更是令蓬莱魔女惊奇不已！
你道这武士是谁？原来正是耿照！蓬莱魔女几乎不敢相信自己的眼睛，暗自寻思：“这事定有蹊跷！耿照怀着父亲的遗书，投奔南宋，他几次险死还生，报国之心，始终不改。他怎肯也来向一个伪官献媚？哎，看来他们定然是有所为而来了。”又想：“我那珊瑚妹子是和耿照一道的，可不知她现在如何，等下倒要问问耿照。嗯，他来得正好，可以省得我多跑一趟江南了。”那严佛庵眉开眼笑的连忙站出来迎接，同席的一个现任知府凑趣说道：“幼安兄来得好极了，严大人今日纳宠，新娘子迟迟未肯出来，请幼安兄写首新词代为催妆，那岂不妙哉！”那严佛庵连忙摇手说道：“张大人说笑了，岂敢，岂敢劳动幼安兄的大笔。”
辛弃疾道：“耿将军听说严大人纳宠，有点薄礼送来，这是张礼单，先请严大人过目。至于催妆词么，那不是别人好越俎代庖的，请恕我不能从命了。”那些官员掩着嘴笑，笑那知府附庸风雅，不懂避忌。但因他是现任大官，却也不敢笑得大声。
耿照将那张礼单捧过头顶，依着官场礼节，屈了半膝，献给严佛庵。严佛庵忙道：“承耿将军厚赐，真是太不敢当了！惶恐，惶恐！”正要接过礼单，耿照忽地大叫一声，礼单撕破，化为片片蝴蝶，空中飞舞，说时迟，那时快，就在这大喝声中，他已揪着严佛庵，一举手就将他擒了！
辛弃疾喝道：“都不许动！哪个跑的，就把他一刀斫了！”他带来的那队兵丁，早已放下“贺礼”，掣出兵器，守着门口，监视全场。这“石破天惊”的意外事变突如其来，满堂宾客都吓得呆了！
那位“知府大人”抖抖索索地说道：“辛、辛大人，这，这是什么意思？”另一个胆子较大的武官试探道：“可是严大人有什么事得罪了耿将军了？但我们只是贺客，不该牵连我们吧？”辛弃疾冷笑说道：“耿将军说，你们平日鱼肉百姓，和这严佛庵一样，都是一丘之貉，你们还想走么？”那军官大叫道：“怎么，我们也被捕了？”辛弃疾道：“不错，从此刻起，你们不再是什么大人，是犯人了！来人，将他们都绑起来！”立刻有四名健卒应声而出，两个持刀，两个持索，分头去绑那些官员。
席上有个金国大官，官居“兵备道”之职，大怒说道：“耿京虽然是节度使，但也总得守点王法吧？他未有圣旨，岂能擅捕朝廷的地方大员？这样胡作非为，敢情是想造反么？”
辛弃疾哈哈大笑道：“不错，正是造反，我们汉人的地方，岂能任你们金狗来蹂躏？耿将军今日起义啦！”那个“兵备道”又惊又怒，手按剑柄，尚未拔出，辛弃疾已是“唰”的一剑刺出，喝道：“先把你这金狗祭旗！”这一剑从前心穿入，后心穿出，登时将那个“兵备道”刺了个透明窟窿！
这时宾客们才明白是这么一回事，人人吓得一佛出世，二佛涅槃。原来耿京以前本是金人在中原所立的傀儡刘裕手下的一个中级军官，刘裕后来失宠，被金国四太子兀术所废，耿京收容了刘裕手下一部份军队，又招集了许多草莽豪杰，自成一军，自封“天平节度使”，金国为了笼络他，承认他这“官衔”，但要他奉金朝正朔。耿京其时势力未大，也只好对金人虚与委蛇，做名义上的金国大官。这次是辛弃疾极力劝他归宋，他最后才下了决定，高举义旗的。
严佛庵家中的武士不少，但见主人已落在对方之手，投鼠忌器，都是不敢轻举妄动。至于那些来喝喜酒的文武官员，更是面面相觑，做声不得，只好任从捆缚。
但就在此时，却忽地有个军官把桌子一掀，一个酒盅飞出，朝耿照面上一泼，辛弃疾一剑刺去，“喀嚓”一声，剑尖嵌入桌子。说时迟，那时快，那军官早已拔出腰刀，唰的一刀就向耿照斩下！
耿照霍的一个“凤点头”，避开了那被当作暗器的酒盅，但已泼了一脸酒，眼睛睁不开来。这军官出手如电，那一刀倏地就斫了到来。他竟然丝毫不把严佛庵的性命放在心上，根本就不理会严佛庵尚在耿照手中。
这一剑来得凶狠之极，耿照听那金刃劈风之声，心头也不禁微微一凛：“想不到在此处竟也碰着一流高手！”在那人不顾一切的狠劈猛斫之下，耿照倘若把严佛庵当作盾牌，严佛庵自是难保性命，但那一剑劈下，余力未尽，耿照也难免受伤。在这瞬息之间，耿照无暇思索，只好先行避开。
那军官出手快极，竟是如影随形，跟踪追到，唰唰唰，连环三剑，狂风暴雨般的猛攻过来，有一剑几乎贴着严佛庵的颈项刺到耿照的手腕，耿照连退三步，这才腾得出一只手来拔出宝剑，迎御敌招。
耿照是用右手抓紧严佛庵的，就在他腾出左手拔剑，缩回右手避招的那一刹那，右手的腕力稍松，严佛庵猛地挣扎，对面那军官的剑招又到，耿照一时之间难以兼顾，竟给严佛庵挣脱了他的掌握。
说时迟，那时快，那军官抖起一朵剑花，一招“白虹贯日”，剑锋迳刺耿照胸膛，耿照横剑一封，同时举足猛蹴严佛庵的脑袋。不料那军官的剑法虚虚实实，变幻莫测，忽地中途变招，剑锋一转，倏然间改削耿照的双足，耿照急忙一个“游身滑步”，避招还招，脚尖踢那人的手肘，左手剑也横削那人的腰肋，好不容易才化解了那人的攻势，但严佛庵在地下一滚，早已钻入了人丛之中。
耿照左手使剑不便，被那军官迫得连退几步。耿照大怒，也学对方的办法，掀翻了一张桌子，挡了那军官一挡，立即剑交右手，一声大喝，便和那军官以攻对攻。
只听得“当”的一声，火花飞溅，那军官的剑刃损了一个缺口，可是却也未曾脱手。那军官喝道：“好一把宝剑！”剑法丝毫不松，唰唰唰又是连环三剑，剑剑指向耿照的要害穴道，竟是以强攻抑制强攻，他的剑法轻灵翔动，耿照再想用宝剑来削他的兵刃，已是不能。
这一来双方都是暗暗吃惊，也都知道了彼此的优劣。耿照自练了桑家的“大衍八式”之后，内功已到一流境界，功力要比对方高出一筹；但那军官的剑法却是比他更为精妙。那军官顾忌他的宝剑，不敢和他硬碰；耿照被他轻灵迅捷的剑法所制，要仗着宝剑护身，也不敢全力和对方抢攻，如此一来，一方是仗着宝剑之利和功力深厚，一方是仗着剑法精妙和经验宏丰，恰恰是八两半斤，旗鼓相当，打得难分难解。
耿照和那军官固然是各自暗惊，但还有一个暗暗吃惊的则是蓬莱魔女。这倒不是因为那军官的本领令得蓬莱魔女吃惊，而是由于他那一手精妙的剑法，蓬莱魔女蓦地想起了一个人来！exactly:
