Chapter 2 Chapter two

The girl was sitting in a small guest room in the Fen'an inn in Ganting Town. On the table was a small wine jug, which contained the world-renowned Fen wine.This Ganting town is between Linfen County and Hongdong County in the south of Shanxi Province, and it is the place where Fen Liquor is produced.But she only took a sip, and her mouth felt hot, numb and painful. The wine was really not good.Why did Daddy like it so much?Daddy often said: "Girls are not allowed to drink alcohol." You have to listen to Daddy at home, but this time you sneak out alone, so you must drink a pot of Fenjiu.But it is really not easy to drink up this pot.She took another big sip, and felt that her face was a little hot, and when she reached out to touch it, it turned out to be a little hot.

The escorts in the next room kept toasting you and me. Aren't they afraid of spicy food?A thick voice yelled: "Dude, three catties more!" The girl shook her head.Another voice said: "Brother Zhang, it's better to drink thinner and drink less! There is a saying in the Jianghu: 'Hold your hands and mouth, you can hide everywhere.' When we arrive in Beijing, let's have a good time." Get drunk." The person before said with a smile: "Chief Escort, I think you are too steady. Those four ideas are blowing up a round of Taiyue Four Heroes, which scares you... Hehe , hey... dude, grab a drink."

The girl couldn't help laughing out loud when she heard the title of "Four Heroes of Taiyue", presumably this group of bodyguards had also fought against the Four Heroes of Taiyue.I just heard the head of the escort say: "What am I afraid of? You don't know the heavy burden on me. The hundred thousand taels of salt darts are not on my mind, surnamed Zhou. Hmph, it's inconvenient to follow me at this time." Tell me in detail, when you arrive in Beijing, you will know." The escort Zhang said with a smile: "Not bad, not bad! I don't know, I don't know. Hehe, Yuanyang Saber, Yuanyang Saber!"

As soon as the girl heard the word "Yuanyang Saber", her heart skipped a beat, she put her ear to the wall, trying to listen more carefully, but there was no sound in the next room.The girl's heart moved, she slipped out of the door, and quietly walked to the window of the guards.Chief Security Chief Zhou said: "How do you know? Who leaked the news? Brother Zhang, this matter is not a joke." He lowered his voice, but his tone was extremely solemn.The bodyguard Zhang said lightly: "Which of the brothers here doesn't know, who doesn't? You alone think it's a big secret." Chief Zhou's voice was trembling, and he hurriedly asked: "Who is it? What did you say?" Zhang Escort said: "Haha, who else can it be? It's you." Chief Escort Zhou became even more anxious, and said, "When did I say that? Brother Zhang, if you don't make it clear today, We buddies can’t finish the count. My surname Zhou treats you well..." Only another person said: "Chief Escort, don't worry. Brother Zhang is right. You said it yourself." Mr. Zhou The head of the escort said: "Me? Me? How could I?" The man said: "As soon as our escort car leaves Xi'an, every night when you fall asleep, you talk in your sleep, turning over and over and always saying: 'Mandarin duck sword, mandarin duck sword! This Send it to Beijing once, but there can be no accidents, and you will be invincible in the world...'"

Zhou Weixin was shocked and ashamed, how could he speak?How can I get the big secret I keep firmly, just because I think about it during the day, and I don’t have other thoughts in my mind except "Mandarin Duck Sword". I think about it every day and dream about it at night. out.He bowed to all the guards, and said in a low voice: "Everyone, please don't mention the word 'Yuanyang Dao' again. From tonight, I will sleep with a cloth wrapped around my mouth." The girl listened to these words outside the window, she was very happy, and she thought to herself: "There is no place to find if you break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them. This pair of mandarin duck knives is actually on this bodyguard. I stole it back. , see what daddy said?"

It turned out that the girl's surname was Xiao and her name was Zhonghui, and her father was Xiao Banhe, a hero of Jinyang. Xiao Banhe's reputation is far-reaching, and he communicates with heroes from all walks of life. Last month, he received news that a pair of mandarin duck knives that had been lost in the martial arts for many years had reappeared in the world, and they were actually obtained by Liu Yuyi, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi.This pair of knives has a lot to do with Xiao Banhe, he decided to get them, he made a plan, guessing that Liu Yuyi would send the treasured knives to the capital to present to the emperor, instead of going to the heavily guarded Xi'an mansion to snatch them, it would be better to block the way and rob them.Little did he know that Liu Yuyi was cunning and wise, as soon as he got the treasured swords, he would spread suspicions, dispatching fake officials and tribute teams time and time again, making the powerful people who coveted the pair of treasured swords be fooled one after another, and lost a lot of people instead.Xiao Banhe remembered that his fiftieth birthday was about to come, so he spread out hero posts, inviting heroes from Qin, Jin, Hebei and Shandong provinces to have a cup of birthday wine. The pair of treasured swords were robbed.Of course, if it wasn't for his bloody friend who he knew well, there would be no postscript in the invitation, otherwise the news would leak out and startle the snake, not to mention that the treasured sword couldn't be grabbed, I'm afraid it would tire the lives of good friends.

As soon as Xiao Zhonghui heard her father talk about this pair of precious swords, she was eager to try them immediately.Xiao Banhe sent disciples to spread heroic posters everywhere, so she also wanted to go, and Xiao Banhe sent people to ambush on the Shaanxi Road, so she went even more.But Xiao Banhe always shook his head and said, "No way!" She was in a hurry, so Xiao Banhe said, "Ask your aunt, ask your mother." Xiao Banhe has two wives, the eldest lady is surnamed Yuan, The second wife's surname is Yang.Zhonghui was born to Mrs. Yang, but Mrs. Yuan loved her very much, just like her own daughter.When Mrs. Yang said she couldn't go, Zhonghui could act coquettishly and say she had to go all day long, but once Mrs. Yuan said she couldn't go, Zhonghui didn't dare to argue.This Mrs. Yuan was very kind to her, but there was a sense of majesty in her expression. Since she was a child, she did not dare to disobey her aunt's words in the slightest.

However, snatching the precious sword is both dangerous and wonderful, how interesting it is.When Xiao Zhonghui thought about it, she couldn't hold back no matter what, and finally left a note to her father, aunt and mother in the middle of the night, secretly led a horse, and left Jinyang.She met the Four Heroes of Taiyue who were going to pay homage to her father's birthday, and she felt that the heroes in the world were no more than that in martial arts; she heard what the bodyguards said, and felt that it would not be difficult to rob the Mandarin Duck Saber. She turned around and wanted to wait until she returned to the room, and then slowly figured out how to attack the escort team. She only took two steps, and suddenly, there was a loud noise from the room opposite the courtyard. I have been used to the sound of the clash of weapons since I was a child.She was startled in her heart: "Oh, it's not good! People have seen me!" But one person scolded: "Are you really doing it?" A woman's voice shouted: "Then I'm being polite to you?" The sound was endless, the beating was very fierce, and there was a baby crying loudly.On the pane of the opposite room, two black shadows appeared, a man and a woman, each holding a single sword, squandering all over the place, slashing and killing with all their might.

With such a dozen, there was chaos in the inn.I only heard Chief Zhou yelling: "Everyone, don't go out, everyone is on guard, guard the escort car, and be careful of the villain's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain." Xiao Zhonghui thought to herself: "If you don't want to fight with your life, how can it be a fake way to divert the tiger away from the mountain?" Hit? It's a pity that he doesn't come out to take a look, otherwise it would be a good opportunity to steal the knife." When she looked at the two shadows again, the woman was exhausted and couldn't stop backing away, but the man was pressing forward step by step without letting go. .Her chivalrous heart arose, and she thought: "This villain is so rude. Kui Ye broke into the woman's room and raped her. How can she not fight her injustice?" She was about to rush in to help the woman, but then she thought: "No. Good! Once I make a move, I will inevitably reveal Xingzang. If the bodyguards see it, it will not be easy to steal the knife again." Holding back his anger, the sound of sword clashes gradually subsided, and the two men and women began to yell at each other. , speaking in Lunan dialect, Xiao Zhonghui couldn't understand more than half of it.

She listened for a while, then became irritable, and was about to go back to her room, when suddenly there was a thud, the door of a guest room to the east was pushed open, and a young scholar came out.He only heard him say loudly: "Why are you two arguing? If you have something to tell the truth, why do you use swords and guns?" As he said, he walked under the window of the two men and women, as if he wanted to persuade them.Xiao Zhonghui thought to himself: "That villain is so brutal, who is going to reason with you?" Only the sound of weapons clashing in the room could be heard again, the cry of a child became louder and louder, suddenly a bullet shot through the window It flew out of the grid, and with a snap, it happened to knock the scholar's hat to the ground.The scholar exclaimed: "Ah, that's not good!" Then he murmured to himself: "The city gate catches fire, and the fish in the pond will suffer. A gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall. It is important to be wise and safe." After speaking, he slowly retreated into the room .

Xiao Zhonghui felt it was funny, but at the same time worried for that woman, thinking that the villain is unscrupulous, and this woman must suffer a great loss.But at this moment, the sound of fighting in the room had died down, and the inn suddenly fell silent.Xiao Zhonghui thought to herself: "Father always said that things should be prioritized, stealing the knife is the most important thing, so we have to let that murderer be lawless." Then he went back to the room, closed the door, lay down on the kang, thinking about how to rob the precious knife: " There are so many people in this bodyguard team, how can I deal with it alone? I should have rushed back to Jinyang overnight, told my father about it, and asked him to dispatch troops. But if I used tricks to steal the knife, my hands Wouldn't it be better to give it to daddy?" Thinking of the pride, the dimple on the left cheek sank deeply.But what is the plan?She has been trained by her father since she was a child, and her martial arts are not weak.But when it comes to tricks, our Miss Xiao is not very good at it, she doesn't have many tricks in her belly, it can be said that she is not very good at it. She lay on the kang, her head hurt from thinking about it, although she thought of five or six methods, but after careful consideration, none of them worked.In the dimness, the eyelids became heavy, and in the quiet night, I suddenly heard the sound of duk, duk, duk... sounding from far and near, someone knocked on the stone slabs on the street with an iron rod. blind. The knocking sound came to the front of the inn and stopped abruptly, then the iron rod slammed on the door of the inn, followed by the sound of opening the door and yelling at the waiter, an old voice begged for a shop room.The shop waiter asked him to give the money first, but the old blind man gave the money, but there was still two hangs left.So the voices of refusal, begging, and the obscene words of the waiter swearing at people, came to Xiao Zhonghui's ears one by one. The more she heard, the more she felt that the blind man was pitiful, so she turned over and sat up, took a small ingot of silver in her bag, opened the door and went out, only to see that the scholar was already gesticulating, arguing with the shop boy, it seemed that although he wanted to be wise and safe , I still can't help but like to meddle in my own business.I just heard him say: "Little brother, respecting the old and caring for the poor is a virtue. If you are short of two dime, you will pay him, and it will be over." If you are kind, then you will give it to him." The scholar said: "You are wrong again. I think I am a traveler, I don't have a lot of money, and the price of the treasure store is scary. If I sell it casually, In a blink of an eye, it's like the misfortune of my wife to Chen Cai. Therefore, so, it's better for the second brother to charge less money." Xiao Zhonghui chuckled, and shouted: "Hey, little brother, I've paid for the money, let's go!" The shop waiter raised his head, saw a flash of white light, and a piece of broken silver flew over, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to pick it up.His hands are used to handling silver, and it can be said that nothing will be lost. This is the first time in his life to encounter such silver flying in the air, so he needs practice, and with a pop, the piece of silver has been smashed It hit his chest, even though it was silver, after all, it hurt a little when it hit him, and he couldn't help but yelled out "Ah yo". The scholar said: "Look, a young lady is so kind. Little brother, you are a man in vain, that's a long way off." Xiao Zhonghui glanced at him and saw him With a long face and handsome eyes, sword eyebrows slanted, and a heroic look on his face, his heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly lowered his head.I just heard the old blind man say: "Thank you for your kindness, my husband. You paid the old blind man's room and board. Thank you very much, but I don't know the name of my benefactor Gao. I will remember it in my heart, and I will be grateful for my kindness in the future." He said: "Xiaoke's surname is Yuan and his name is Guannan. What's the point of trivial matters? What's your name, old man?" The old blind man said, "My humble name is Zhuo Tianxiong." Xiao Zhonghui was amused in her heart: "This old blind man is really blind and blind. He obviously gave me the money, but he went to thank others." Suddenly hearing the word "Zhuo Tianxiong", his heart was shocked: "This I seem to have heard the name before. That day my father and my aunt seemed to have whispered this name. At that time, I happened to pass by the door of my aunt’s room. When my father and aunt saw me, they immediately stopped talking. But maybe they have the same name and surname, Maybe it's the same pronunciation and different characters. How could my father recognize this old blind man?" Yuan Guannan accompanied Zhuo Tianxiong, followed the waiter to the inner courtyard.When passing by Xiao Zhonghui's side, Yuan Guannan suddenly bowed and said, "Miss, did you bring a lot of silver?" Xiao Zhonghui didn't expect him to talk to her, her face flushed, and she squatted down as if paying back the courtesy. Squatting down, he said: "What?" Yuan Guannan said: "It can be seen that the girl is so rich, she wants to borrow a few pennies!" Xiao Zhonghui didn't expect that he would go straight to the point of borrowing money, and she became even more embarrassed and blushed , I don't know how to answer, I was stunned for a while, and turned my face away.The scholar said: "Okay, if you don't want to borrow it, that's okay. Wait for Xiao Ke to get someone else's advice!" He bowed again, turned and went back into the room. Xiao Zhonghui's heart was pounding and he couldn't gather his composure for a moment. Suddenly, the sound of weapons and shouts resounded again in the room over there. With a loud bang, the window pane flew open, and a strong man held a single knife, He jumped out of the window, but held a baby in his left hand.Then a young woman chased out from the window, her hair was disheveled, she wielded a knife and shouted: "Give me back my child, where are you taking him?" The two rushed out of the shop one after the other.Xiao Zhonghui saw the panic on the young woman's face, she couldn't restrain her anger anymore, she thought to herself: "This murderer has robbed her child, it's so outrageous, I must take care of it!" Hastily went back to the room and took a pair of knives, hurriedly go out.
From a distance, the young woman could not stop yelling: "Put the child down quickly, you scared him in the middle of the night! You frightened the child, you slashed into pieces, I... I..." Xiao Zhonghui hurriedly chased after her voice. Unexpectedly, both the murderer and the young woman are not weak in their light-handed skills, they chased straight to Lixu, and saw the two swords crossing, fighting viciously.The murderer held the child in his arms, the situation was unfavorable, he immediately put the child on a bluestone, and swung his knife to kill him.Xiao Zhonghui stopped and stood still, first took a look at the kung fu of that murderer, but saw that his physical strength was strong and his saber skills were fierce, the young woman was fighting while retreating, it seemed that she was going to be injured by his saber in a blink of an eye.Xiao Zhonghui jumped out with the saber in hand, and shouted: "Evil thief, don't stop yet?" The short saber in her right hand made a false move, and the long saber in her left hand pierced the murderer's chest. Seeing Xiao Zhonghui rushing out, the young woman was stunned for a moment, feeling sorry for the child, she rushed over to pick it up.The murderer raised his knife, and asked: "Who are you?" Xiao Zhonghui sneered slightly, and said: "The girl who fights the injustice." Swinging the knife and slashing, apart from fighting with her father and senior brothers, she is really the first to fight with others The first time was to deal with the Four Heroes of Taiyue, and the second time was to fight this murderer.This murderer's martial arts are much stronger than the Four Heroes of Taiyue, his moves are changing, a single sword is hovering and flying, and his left hand counterattacks Shen Xiong's palm from time to time.Xiao Zhonghui shouted: "What a villain, so savage!" With the saber in his left hand attacking, he suddenly made a "split flowers and brushes the willow style", the long saber spun sharply.The murderer was taken aback and dodged sideways.Xiao Zhonghui yelled: "Lie down!" The dagger was cut obliquely, and the murderer's left leg was cut early.With a loud roar, he fell to his knees and raised his saber to fight back.Xiao Zhonghui slashed with both knives at the same time, causing him to block with the knife horizontally, and swept him away with one leg, kicking him to the ground, followed by stabbing his right leg with the short knife. Suddenly there was a howling wind, and a knife struck from behind. Xiao Zhonghui was taken aback. He didn't care to hurt the murderer, so he hurriedly returned the knife to parry. Medium sparks splash.When she saw it, she was even more stunned. It turned out that the one who sneaked up from behind was actually the young woman with the child in her arms.The young woman was blocked by her with one knife, followed by another knife.Xiao Zhonghui knew that this move "Yasha Tanhai" aimed at hurting the enemy, but it was a desperate attack regardless of her own safety, she immediately swung her short knife to block it, and shouted: "Aren't you crazy, woman?" The young woman said: "You That's crazy!" The single knife flashed obliquely, slid towards the disc of Xiao Zhonghui's long knife, pushed it, and slid close to her finger.Xiao Zhonghui was startled, seeing that the young woman's strength was not as strong as that murderer's, but her saber technique was far more cunning. At this time, the murderer had already bandaged the wound on his leg, and stepped forward with a knife in his hand to attack.Xiao Zhonghui groaned secretly: "It turns out that these two people set up a trap to lure me into it on purpose." Although she is proficient in swordsmanship, she lacks the experience of facing the enemy. The enemy couldn't help feeling cowardly in his heart, and while beating, he scolded: "I have no grievances with you, why did you set up such a poisonous plan to kill me?" The murderer scolded: "Who knows you? Little bitch , came to chop me for no reason." The young woman also shouted: "What kind of way are you, you shoot and hurt people without asking indiscriminately." Asking the murderer, "Brother Long, how is your leg injured?" Meaning Between, extremely concerned.The murderer said: "Damn it, it hurts so much." Xiao Zhonghui said strangely: "Don't you mean to harm me?" The young woman said: "What are you doing? You are so fierce and domineering, do you think you are good at martial arts? Let me see Not necessarily, but you are really shameless." Xiao Zhonghui said angrily: "I saw you being bullied by this murderer, and I kindly rescued you, but who knew that you were pretending to fight." The young woman said: "Who said pretending to fight? Our husband and wife are quarreling , usually tight, what are you busy with?" Xiao Zhonghui was taken aback when she heard the words "husband and wife quarrel", and stammered: "You...are you husband and wife?" Immediately, she jumped back, her mind was in confusion.The brawny man said: "What's the matter? We are a man and a woman living in the same room, and we have a child, aren't we husband and wife?" Xiao Zhonghui wondered, "Is this child your son?" The young woman said: "He is Father of the child, I am the mother of the child, what is bothering you? His name is Lin Yulong, and my name is Ren Feiyan, what more do you want to ask?" He raised his knife mid-air angrily, and wanted to grab and chop it down again. Xiao Zhonghui said: "Since you are a husband and wife, why are you beating, scolding, and using knives?" Ren Feiyan sneered and said: "Haha, girl, when you marry a man, you will understand. If a husband and wife don't fight, what are they called a husband and wife There is a saying that fights at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed. Have you ever seen a couple who don't quarrel or fight?" Xiao Zhonghui blurted out and said, "My parents never quarrel or fight." Lin Yulong stroked his injured leg and cursed: " Damn, what kind of couple are these? It must be on the wrong path! Ah, ah..." Ren Feiyan heard her husband cry out in pain, and hurriedly put down the child to look at his wounds, her expression was not fake at all, they were really a loving couple .Lin Yulong murmured and scolded: "Damn it, if you don't quarrel and don't move the knife, what kind of couple are these?" Xiao Zhonghui was stunned, and thought: "Hey, you're not scolding my parents!" Her chest was filled with anger, and she wanted to go up to teach him a lesson, but with one against two, she expected to be defeated, but she saw the baby lying on the stone , crying, turned around and picked up the baby, and ran quickly. Ren Feiyan wrapped up her husband's wound, but when she turned her head she didn't see her son, she exclaimed: "Where's your son?" Lin Yulong jumped up with an "Ah yo", and said, "I'll be taken away by that bitch." Ren Feiyan said: "What are you doing?" Why don't you tell me earlier?" Lin Yulong said: "You held it yourself, who taught you to put it on the ground?" Ren Feiyan was furious, and flew up to him, slapped him on the mouth, and shouted: "I'll wrap your wound Ah! Dead man!" Lin Yulong punched back and scolded: "I can't control my son, who wants you to please me?" Ren Feiyan said: "You bastard, go and get your son back, and I will settle the score with you later." Fast forward.Lin Yulong said: "That's right, it's important to get my son back. Damn, you can't control your own son, what's the use of it?" He chased after him. Xiao Zhonghui hid behind a big tree, pinned the child's mouth to prevent him from crying, saw Lin Ren and his wife scolding and chasing, chasing farther and farther, secretly amused, suddenly felt hot all over her body, bowed her head in surprise, I saw that the clothes were wet a lot, it turned out that the child had urinated.She was so annoyed, she patted the child lightly, and scolded: "You don't talk when you want to pee?" The child is not yet one year old, how can he talk?Give her such a slap, and burst into tears.Xiao Zhonghui couldn't bear it, so she could only coax him slowly with "good boy, good baby".After coaxing for a while, the child closed his eyes and fell asleep.Xiao Zhonghui saw that he was fat and fat-eared, with a rosy face, and he was very cute when he was foolish, so she couldn't help liking him a lot, and thought: "Go and pay back to his parents, it's enough to scare them." Seeing the couple's love North, don't go back to the inn now, but chase north. After traveling for more than ten miles, it was already dawn, and the couple never saw each other. When the sky was bright, they arrived in a forest with dense trees.Seeing the quiet scenery in the forest, Xiao Zhonghui was really tired after not sleeping all night, so she picked a soft grass, leaned against a tree to refresh her mind, looked down and saw the child in her arms sleeping soundly, and after a while, she fell asleep herself too.
