Chapter 4 Chapter Four
On the tenth day of March, this day is the fiftieth birthday of Jinyang hero Xiao Banhe.
There are many congratulatory guests in Xiao's mansion, and there are a lot of heroes.Xiao Banhe, in robes and mandarin jacket, received heroes from all walks of life in the hall, knights on the white road, high-ranking men on the underworld, famous seniors, young recruits... There are many people who don't know Xiao Banhe at all, but are Strangers who come here to show their admiration.
In the back hall, Mrs. Yuan, Mrs. Yang, and Xiao Zhonghui were also beaming and dressed in new clothes.The two ladies were sorting out all kinds of birthday presents that kept coming in from outside.Xiao Zhonghui was facing the mirror with hairpin flowers, suddenly, her face in the mirror was flushed with blush, she whispered: "The cool breeze leads down the Yaotai, and the bright moon shines into a golden house."
Mrs. Yuan and Mrs. Yang glanced at each other, both thinking: "Since this little lady snatched the mandarin duck knife and came home, she is sometimes happy, sometimes sad, full of thoughts. She is eighteen years old this year, she must be outside I met a young man who suits her heart." Mrs. Yang saw that her hairpin was always unsatisfactory, and suddenly realized that something was missing from her head, and asked, "Hui'er, where is the gold hairpin that aunt gave you?" ?" Zhonghui giggled and said, "I gave it to someone." Mrs. Yuan and Mrs. Yang looked at each other again, thinking: "As expected, this little girl even gave someone her token of love. Mrs. Yang asked, "Who did you give it to?" Zhong Hui laughed like a flower branch, and said, "He...he? Most likely I will come to pay my birthday greetings to my father today. He is a famous person, so it is no small matter."
Mrs. Yang was still waiting to ask again, when she saw the maid Zhang Ma came in holding a brocade box and said, "This birthday gift is really strange, why do you give a gold hairpin to the master?" The thing contained in the box is shining with pearls, and it is Zhonghui's golden hairpin.When Mrs. Yang turned her head, she saw her daughter's face was full of joy and she was smiling very happily. She hurriedly asked: "Where is the person who brought the gift?" Zhang Ma said: "He is talking with the master in the hall."
Mrs. Yuan and Yang were eager to see what kind of person it was that could make their daughter so fascinated. They nodded at each other and walked behind the screen in the hall together, only to hear one of them stuttering: "Little His name is Gai Yiming, nicknamed Babu Chachan, Sai Zhuanzhu, Taxue Wuhen, Flying on Water with one foot, Gai Qisheng with two thorns, and today he and his three brothers came here to pay respects to Old Hero Xiao on his birthday." Madam took a look quietly, and saw that the man was a skinny man who was described as trivial, and there were three eccentric figures sitting beside him.Xiao Banhe Fuxu smiled and said: "The four heroes of Taiyue came here and gave the old man a rich gift of golden hairpins. It is really appropriate." Gai Yiming said: "It's easy to say, easy to say!" Mrs. Yuan and Yang were full of doubts. The one who got hit was actually this dwarf?The two wives are well-informed and know that people should not be judged by their appearance. That person's nickname is very resounding. Presumably, his martial arts must be good. Since he can be called a "Xia", his character must also be good.
Amidst the sound of drum music, three more people came in from outside the door and bowed to Xiao Banhe together.A handsome scholar said in a loud voice: "Juniors Lin Yulong, Ren Feiyan, and Yuan Guannan, I wish Senior Xiao a blessing like the East China Sea and a longevity like Nanshan. A small gift, please accept it with a smile." He presented a long box with the lid open .Xiao Banhe thanked him, took a look, couldn't help being stunned, and blurted out three words: "Yuanyang Saber!"
In the back garden of the Xiao Mansion, Lin Yulong was teaching Yuan Guannan the sword technique, and Ren Feiyan was teaching Xiao Zhonghui the sword technique.After spending most of the day, Lin and Ren have already taught the remaining 60 husband and wife saber techniques to each other. Guannan and Zhonghui memorize with heart, but it is not easy for them to concentrate at this moment.Because after Xiao Banhe found out how he got the saber, he discussed with the two wives and immediately betrothed his daughter to Yuan Guannan, saying that he would be happy tonight, and betrothed the two of them during their birthdays.The two were very happy, if they didn't know the power of this saber technique, they really didn't want to learn martial arts at this time; besides, if it wasn't for martial arts masters who don't stick to common etiquette, married couples should also avoid suspicion, and shouldn't be together on this day. "The light of the knife hides the peacock's screen, and the knots are tied in the trees... The two phoenixes sing in the sound of the flute, and now there is a girl like Yan Ruyu..." After Lin Yulong and Ren Feiyan finished teaching, let them, an unmarried couple, practice knife setting by themselves.The two couples accepted such a pair of apprentices, and their selfishness was very gratifying. The Four Heroes of Taiyue had been watching them practice their knives, Xiaoyaozi and Gai Yiming kept pointing, saying that there was a flaw in this move and that there was a flaw in that move.Feeling angry, Lin Yulong wiped the sweat from his brow, and said, "Brother Gai, our husband and wife gave Brother Yuan and his wife a new wedding gift with a single sword technique. You Taiyue Four Heroes, what gift are you giving?" Taiyue When the Four Heroes heard this, their hearts trembled, and they were speechless for a moment.You must know that when it comes to giving gifts, it is really the most taboo thing for them. Ren Feiyan wanted to make fun of them, saying: "In the muddy river over there, there is a green-blooded golden toad. A martial arts student can take one of them, and it can be worth ten years of skill, but it is very difficult to catch. Brother Gai claims to catch up with eight steps." Toad, one-legged flying on the water, why not catch a few and give them to the new couple, wouldn't it be a great gift?" Gai Yiming was overjoyed and said, "Really?" Lin Yulong said, "How dare we deceive each other? It's a pity that our couple's lightness kung fu is not good, and we don't understand water skills, so we dare not go into the water to catch them." Gai Yiming said: "When it comes to lightness kung fu and water skills, that's Gai's forte. Big brother, second brother, third brother, let's catch them right away. " Ren Feiyan laughed and said: "Haha, brother Gai, you are an amateur again. The Jade Blood Golden Toad came out of the cave to absorb the essence of moonlight when it was late at night. Where can I catch it in broad daylight?" Gai Yiming said: "Yes, yes. I knew it, but I forgot it for a while. If I can catch it casually during the day, what's so special about it?"
Red candles were burning high in the hall, and on the brocade scroll in the middle of the hall, there was a big golden character "Shou" that was five feet square. At this time, the guests had finished paying their respects to the birthday party. Xiao Banhe, the birthday star, stroking his long beard, announced the good news with a smile on his face: his only daughter, Xiao Zhonghui, is engaged to the young knight-errant Yuan Guannan tonight. Please invite all guests to have a drink After birthday wine, drink another glass of wedding wine. Amidst the applause of all the guests and friends, Yuan Guannan knelt down on the red carpet to meet his father-in-law and mother-in-law.Xiao Banhe grinningly took out an agarwood fan, and Yuan Guannan accepted it as a gift.Madam Yuan also grinned and took out a jade finger, Yuan Guannan thanked her and stretched out her hand to take it... Suddenly, with a clang, the jade spot finger fell to the ground, Yuan Guannan's face changed drastically, and he looked at Mrs. Yuan's right hand.It turns out that there is a branch finger growing on the little finger of Mrs. Yuan's right hand.He grabbed Madam Yuan's left hand, and saw that there was also a branch finger on the little finger.Yuan Guannan said in a trembling voice: "Yue...mother-in-law, you...do you know this thing?" As he spoke, he reached into his neck and took out an emerald lion strung on a thin gold chain. Mrs. Yuan grabbed the lion, her whole body was like lightning, she shouted: "You...you are the lion official?" cry. Everyone in the birthday hall was silent, seeing the scene of his mother and son reuniting, everyone felt sad, liked, and a little bit surprised.Madam Yuan cried: "Lion officer, lion officer, where have you been for the past eighteen years? I am thinking of you all the time." Yuan Guannan said: "Mom, I have traveled all over the world. Basheng, everyone is asking about your whereabouts. I'm afraid, I'm afraid that I will never see my mother again in this life." When Xiao Zhonghui heard Yuan Guannan call out "Mom", she shook her body and nearly fell, only one voice rang in her mind: "So he is my brother, so he is my brother...he is my brother..." Lin Yulong asked his wife in a low voice: "What? Yuan Xianggong is Mrs. Xiao's son? I'm confused." Ren Feiyan said: "Didn't Yuan Xianggong come out to find his mother? He also entrusted us to help him find his mother. There is a finger on the little finger of each hand. Didn’t Mrs. Xiao recognize him too?” Lin Yulong scratched his head and said, “Why is his surname Yuan, and his father’s surname is Xiao?” Ren Feiyan said: “Stupid, Yuan Mr. Xianggong was separated from his mother when he was three years old. How could a three-year-old child know what his last name is? He randomly assigned a surname, so it’s all right." Lin Yulong said: "So Miss Xiao is his sister. Brother and sister How can we get married?" Ren Feiyan said: "Since we are brothers and sisters, how can we get married? Are you talking nonsense?" Lin Yulong said angrily, "Bah! What you are talking about is nonsense." He and his wife argued louder and louder.Xiao Zhonghui couldn't bear it anymore, she covered her face and ran out with an "ah".
Xiao Zhonghui was at a loss in her heart, she only felt that her eyes were dark and lifeless.She ran out of the gate and walked wildly, suddenly there was a bang, and she bumped into someone with her shoulder.She yelled "Ah yo" and thought to herself: "It's not good! I'm all martial arts, I'm afraid I'll hurt someone." She hurriedly stretched out her hand to help her, but suddenly her wrist tightened, her left arm was numb, and someone pinched the pulse door.Shocked, she raised her head and struck out with her right palm naturally.The man grabbed her wrist with his back, buckled one by one, and grabbed her right wrist vein.At this moment, she could see clearly that the person in front of her was Zhuo Tianxiong. Zhuo Tianxiong laughed loudly, and shouted: "Weixin, take one first!" Zhou Weixin responded, and untied the short-bladed Yangdao hanging from Xiao Zhonghui's waist.Zhuo Tianxiong said: "Xiao Banhe is famous all over the world, today is his fiftieth birthday, and there are many masters in the house. Weixin, do you have the courage to take that long-bladed mandarin knife?" Zhou Wei said: "The disciple has the support of his uncle Even if it is a dragon's pond or a tiger's lair, he dares to go there. There is a saying in the rivers and lakes: "The road is good for running horses, and the trees are big for shade." "Zhuo Tianxiong snorted and said with a smile: "I'm not promising, first I have to drag my uncle into !" He was conceited all his life and rarely met an opponent, but after being defeated by Yuan Guannan and Xiao Zhonghui's joint "husband and wife sword technique", he couldn't help but feel discouraged. At this time, he accidentally met Xiao Zhonghui, and thought to himself that the combination of two swords is formidable. But since I have captured one person, there is only Yuan Guannan left, so there is nothing to fear.What's more, Xiao Zhonghui fell into his hands, no matter how many people there are in Xiao's residence, he is not afraid of Xiao Banhe not obediently handing over the long-bladed mandarin knife. Now Zhuo Tianxiong escorted Xiao Zhonghui, informed the magistrate of the county yamen, together with Zhou Weixin and other bodyguards, they came straight to Xiao's residence. The famous "Zhuo Tianxiong" badge was about to go in, Xiao Banhe shivered and shouted: "Please!" After a while, Zhuo Tianxiong walked into the hall with his head held high.Xiao Banhe rushed forward to meet her, with a glance, he saw her daughter's hands cut behind her back, and a big man was holding a short-bladed Yang Saber against her vest. Although Xiao Banhe was puzzled in his heart, he did not change his expression at all, with a smile on his face, he said: "The villager is cheap, dare to trouble the guard's jade toe?" Zhuo Tianxiong had heard Xiao Banhe's name for a long time in the capital, but seeing his majestic body and bearded cheeks, he was indeed extremely mighty, so he stretched out his right hand and said: "Hero Xiao's thousand-year-old birthday, my brother is late to congratulate, I hope you will forgive me " Xiao Banhe said with a smile: "It's easy to say, easy to say." He reached out to shake hands with him.The two of them worked hard, their arms trembled, and both felt numb in half of their body.In this contest, the two of them actually knew each other's skills, neither of them lost to the other, and they entered the birthday hall together hand in hand. Among the two, Zhuo Tianxiong was the most surprised. He dominated the martial arts world with his "Thirty Palms Shaking the Sky" and "Eighteen Whips of Huyan". What Xiao Banhe used was the "Hunyuan Qi" kung fu.But "Hunyuan Qi" can only be practiced by a child, no matter male or female, it will disappear after marriage, because it is difficult to practice, but it is very easy to lose, so very few people practice it in the martial arts.Before he came to Xiao's residence, he had already inquired about it. He knew that Xiao Ban and his wife had one concubine, and their daughter was already at the age of 10. How could he still retain the "hunyuan qi" kung fu of this boy's skill? Isn't it a great miracle in martial arts? Seeing that Xiao Zhonghui was under the control of others, Yuan Guannan was anxious and concerned, he quietly walked around behind the bodyguards from the crowd, waiting for an opportunity to rescue them.But Zhuo Tianxiong's sharp eyesight has already seen it, he shouted: "Yuan, stop!" He said to Zhou Wei: "If anyone makes a move, you can poke a transparent hole in this girl's body with one knife! "Zhou Wei said: "Yes. There is a saying in the Jianghu: 'The strong are more powerful, the wicked have their own...'" Thinking that this sentence is not quite right, the following three words "the wicked grind" were swallowed belly.Yuan Guannan was deeply afraid that these people would really hurt Xiao Zhonghui, so how dare he take a step forward? Zhuo Tianxiong said: "Hero Xiao, let's open the skylight and speak honestly. The brother visited Zunfu today, one is to kowtow to Hero Xiao for birthday, and the other is to exchange a priceless treasure with Hero Xiao for a valuable treasure." Xiao Ban He said: "The villain is stupid, and he doesn't understand the meaning of Master Zhuo's words." Zhuo Tianxiong rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "The priceless treasure is your daughter's daughter, but the valuable treasure is the long-bladed mandarin knife. Brother Xiao has no grievances or enmity with Xiao Daxia, I just want to hand it over before the emperor. It's a bad job, I saved the wealth and lives of these many brothers, and I hope that Xiao Daxia will raise his hand and save the brothers." He said and cupped his hands.His words seemed to be humble, but his expression was extremely arrogant. Xiao Banhe stretched out his hand to press the back of the chair, and with a click, the back of the chair shattered immediately, he said with a smile: "Lord Zhuo respects the martial arts, why is he so foolish today? Not to mention the daughter of a villain. Could it be that a person who practices the boy's kungfu and the vitality can have children?" As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves, and a gust of wind shot out.Zhuo Tianxiong turned sideways to avoid it, and said in his heart: "It's true, this is really a child's skill of mixing vitality." When Xiao Zhonghui first heard that Yuan Guannan was her brother, she was heartbroken. Seeing that her father wanted to save her, she even insisted on refusing to recognize them as father and daughter. She couldn't help shouting: "Daddy!" At this moment, a chorus of shouts could be heard from outside: "Don't go away, Xiao Yi, the traitor!" People were noisy and horses neighed, and they didn't know how many soldiers and horses came outside the gate of the house.A few servants of the Xiao Mansion rushed in angrily, shouting: "Master...it's not good! Countless officers and soldiers...the officers and soldiers surrounded the gate of the house." Zhuo Tianxiong heard the words "Don't leave the anti-thief Xiao Yi", his mind was moved, he immediately realized, and shouted: "Okay! What Xiao Banhe? So you are the anti-thief Xiao Yi who the emperor has been hunting for for sixteen years. Righteousness." I saw a figure swaying at the gate, and four guards of the Qing palace rushed in, and the first one shouted: "Brother Zhuo, this is Xiao Yi, the rebel, why don't you do it?" Xiao Banhe laughed loudly, and said: "I have been disguised for sixteen years, and today I have returned to my original face, Xiao Yi." He stretched out his hand to wipe his face, and everyone was stunned when they saw it.The hall was already in chaos, but in an instant, when everyone looked at Xiao Banhe's face, there was no sound. It turned out that Xiao Ban and Jinger's appearance changed in an instant. Originally they had bushy beards, but there was only one smear on the palm of their hands. Their chins were completely bald. They didn't even have a single beard. Law. At this time, Yuan Guannan's bookboy came out from the inner hall with two book baskets, and said, "My lord, let's go!" Seeing the golden light, dozens of thin gold leaves floated out.All the bodyguards and officers and soldiers saw the dazzling gold, how could they not be tempted?What's more, the golden leaf floated to the front of the body, and everyone stretched out their hands to grab it.Yuan Guannan waved the torn book, and kept hitting Zhou Weixin, the hall was like a butterfly wearing flowers, and all the golden leaves were flying in the air.Zhou Weixin thought that the "Mandarin Duck Sword" must not be lost, and thought: "There is a saying in the Jianghu: 'A bachelor teaches a child, don't be greedy for cheap.'" Although he saw the golden leaf flying towards him, he didn't catch it.With a lot of luck, Yuan Guannan threw a torn book in gold that weighed several jins and hit him in the face. Zhou Weixin yelled: "Ah!" and shook his body.Yuan Guannan stepped on his feet and rushed over.Zhuo Tianxiong blocked with his horizontal palm, he only felt the wind rustling from his side, Xiao Banhe's Hunyuan Qi hit him.Zhuo Tianxiong knew how powerful it was, so he could only counterattack with his palms back, his true strength met his true strength, there was a bang, and the two of them each took two steps back.At this moment, Yuan Guannan used the saber with his left hand to kill Zhou Weixin until he was dizzy, while his right hand had unlocked Xiao Zhonghui's acupuncture points. Among the congratulatory guests, less than half of them were afraid of getting into trouble and avoided far away, but more than half of them were Xiao Banhe's close friends, or wielding weapons, or punching and kicking, fighting viciously with the attacking Qing palace guards and bodyguard officers and soldiers. Xiao Zhonghui held back for a long time, and bullied Zhou Weixin. She drew her left hand obliquely, and hooked her right hand back. Yang Dao snatched it.Yuan Guannan was overjoyed, and shouted: "Mei Hui! The breeze leads Pei down to Yaotai!" Xiao Zhonghui's eyes turned red, and he thought: "Can I still perform this troublesome couple's sword technique with you?" Looking around, he saw his father and Zhuo Tianxiong danced with all four palms, fighting indiscriminately, the rest of them also found their opponents to fight, but the two Qing palace guards forced Yuan Yang and his wife to keep retreating, and there was a lot of danger.Yuan Guannan yelled: "Mei Hui, save mom!" The two of them joined hands with two swords, one move "Shuangming Feng in the sound of bixiao", a guard was stabbed in the shoulder and fell to the ground with serious injuries, and another move "Now there is a girl named Yan Ruyu" ", another guard was hit on the cheekbone by the hilt of Xiao Zhonghui's knife, shouting and fainting. Mandarin ducks and two sabers join forces, and once they use the "husband and wife saber technique", it is really unstoppable. Wherever the two of them fight side by side, there will be guards or bodyguards injured. Enemies have fled through the door.It's just that there is something special about this saber technique, it's easy to injure someone, but extremely difficult to kill, the location of the saber on the enemy's body is not at all critical, I think the husband and wife who created this saber technique back then were kind-hearted. Willing to hurt people's lives, so in every extremely powerful sword technique, there is room for the enemy. At the end of the fight, Zhuo Tianxiong was the only one left to resist stubbornly.Yuan Guannan and Xiao Zhonghui's swords came forward, one attacked the left shoulder and the other cut the right leg.Zhuo Tianxiong pulled out a steel whip from his waist, and with a bang, knocked off the head of Xiao Zhonghui's short-bladed Yang Saber. The Husband and Wife Swordsmanship move "Happy Knot and Silky Flowers on the Trees" is so miraculous, Yuan Guannan swayed his long saber, and with a hissing sound, Zhuo Tianxiong's calf was hit by the saber, deep down to the shin bone, and blood flowed profusely. Zhuo Tianxiong's calf was seriously injured, he didn't dare to fight, he waved his palm at Xiao Zhonghui, and when she leaned to dodge, he got on his feet, he had already dodged into the courtyard, and followed him up to the roof.Originally, Yuan and Xiao combined two sabers, they could stop Zhuo Tianxiong with the stance of "Hero Wushuang Merry Son-in-law", but since Xiao Zhonghui broke off the blade, this tactic is useless. Xiao Banhe saw that the hall was full of beatings, fortunately only seven or eight people were injured on his side, no one was killed, he said loudly: "Good friends, although the officers and soldiers have temporarily retired, they will definitely come back when they are young, this place cannot be settled .Let's quickly retreat to Zhongtiao Mountain, and then make a plan." Everyone said yes with a loud bang. At that moment Xiao Banhe led his family, cleaned up the things and set fire to the mansion.Riding on the flames soaring into the sky, the city was in chaos, and everyone rushed out of the east gate and went straight to Zhongtiao Mountain.
In the back garden of the Xiao Mansion, Lin Yulong was teaching Yuan Guannan the sword technique, and Ren Feiyan was teaching Xiao Zhonghui the sword technique.After spending most of the day, Lin and Ren have already taught the remaining 60 husband and wife saber techniques to each other. Guannan and Zhonghui memorize with heart, but it is not easy for them to concentrate at this moment.Because after Xiao Banhe found out how he got the saber, he discussed with the two wives and immediately betrothed his daughter to Yuan Guannan, saying that he would be happy tonight, and betrothed the two of them during their birthdays.The two were very happy, if they didn't know the power of this saber technique, they really didn't want to learn martial arts at this time; besides, if it wasn't for martial arts masters who don't stick to common etiquette, married couples should also avoid suspicion, and shouldn't be together on this day. "The light of the knife hides the peacock's screen, and the knots are tied in the trees... The two phoenixes sing in the sound of the flute, and now there is a girl like Yan Ruyu..." After Lin Yulong and Ren Feiyan finished teaching, let them, an unmarried couple, practice knife setting by themselves.The two couples accepted such a pair of apprentices, and their selfishness was very gratifying. The Four Heroes of Taiyue had been watching them practice their knives, Xiaoyaozi and Gai Yiming kept pointing, saying that there was a flaw in this move and that there was a flaw in that move.Feeling angry, Lin Yulong wiped the sweat from his brow, and said, "Brother Gai, our husband and wife gave Brother Yuan and his wife a new wedding gift with a single sword technique. You Taiyue Four Heroes, what gift are you giving?" Taiyue When the Four Heroes heard this, their hearts trembled, and they were speechless for a moment.You must know that when it comes to giving gifts, it is really the most taboo thing for them. Ren Feiyan wanted to make fun of them, saying: "In the muddy river over there, there is a green-blooded golden toad.

Where can I catch it in broad daylight?" Gai Yiming said: "Yes, yes. I knew it, but I forgot it for a while. If I can catch it casually during the day, what's so special about it?"
Red candles were burning high in the hall, and on the brocade scroll in the middle of the hall, there was a big golden character "Shou" that was five feet square. At this time, the guests had finished paying their respects to the birthday party. Xiao Banhe, the birthday star, stroking his long beard, announced the good news with a smile on his face: his only daughter, Xiao Zhonghui, is engaged to the young knight-errant Yuan Guannan tonight. Please invite all guests to have a drink After birthday wine, drink another glass of wedding wine. Amidst the applause of all the guests and friends, Yuan Guannan knelt down on the red carpet to meet his father-in-law and mother-in-law.Xiao Banhe grinningly took out an agarwood fan, and Yuan Guannan accepted it as a gift.Madam Yuan also grinned and took out a jade finger, Yuan Guannan thanked her and stretched out her hand to take it...

When Xiao Zhonghui heard Yuan Guannan call out "Mom", she shook her body and nearly fell, only one voice rang in her mind: "So he is my brother, so he is my brother...he is my brother..." Lin Yulong asked his wife in a low voice: "What? Yuan Xianggong is Mrs. Xiao's son? I'm confused." Ren Feiyan said: "Didn't Yuan Xianggong come out to find his mother?

She hurriedly stretched out her hand to help her, but suddenly her wrist tightened, her left arm was numb, and someone pinched the pulse door.Shocked, she raised her head and struck out with her right palm naturally.The man grabbed her wrist with his back, buckled one by one, and grabbed her right wrist vein.At this moment, she could see clearly that the person in front of her was Zhuo Tianxiong.

Zhou Weixin responded, and untied the short-bladed Yangdao hanging from Xiao Zhonghui's waist.Zhuo Tianxiong said: "Xiao Banhe is famous all over the world, today is his fiftieth birthday, and there are many masters in the house.

After a while, Zhuo Tianxiong walked into the hall with his head held high.Xiao Banhe rushed forward to meet her, with a glance, he saw her daughter's hands cut behind her back, and a big man was holding a short-bladed Yang Saber against her vest. Although Xiao Banhe was puzzled in his heart, he did not change his expression at all, with a smile on his face, he said: "The villager is cheap, dare to trouble the guard's jade toe?" Zhuo Tianxiong had heard Xiao Banhe's name for a long time in the capital, but seeing his majestic body and bearded cheeks, he was indeed extremely mighty, so he stretched out his right hand and said: "Hero Xiao's thousand-year-old birthday, my brother is late to congratulate, I hope you will forgive me " Xiao Banhe said with a smile: "It's easy to say, easy to say." He reached out to shake hands with him.The two of them worked hard, their arms trembled, and both felt numb in half of their body.In this contest, the two of them actually knew each other's skills, neither of them lost to the other, and they entered the birthday hall together hand in hand. Among the two, Zhuo Tianxiong was the most surprised. He dominated the martial arts world with his "Thirty Palms Shaking the Sky" and "Eighteen Whips of Huyan". What Xiao Banhe used was the "Hunyuan Qi" kung fu.But "Hunyuan Qi" can only be practiced by a child, no matter male or female, it will disappear after marriage, because it is difficult to practice, but it is very easy to lose, so very few people practice it in the martial arts.Before he came to Xiao's residence, he had already inquired about it. He knew that Xiao Ban and his wife had one concubine, and their daughter was already at the age of 10. How could he still retain the "hunyuan qi" kung fu of this boy's skill? Isn't it a great miracle in martial arts? Seeing that Xiao Zhonghui was under the control of others, Yuan Guannan was anxious and concerned, he quietly walked around behind the bodyguards from the crowd, waiting for an opportunity to rescue them.But Zhuo Tianxiong's sharp eyesight has already seen it, he shouted: "Yuan, stop!" He said to Zhou Wei: "If anyone makes a move, you can poke a transparent hole in this girl's body with one knife! "Zhou Wei said: "Yes. There is a saying in the Jianghu: 'The strong are more powerful, the wicked have their own...'" Thinking that this sentence is not quite right, the following three words "the wicked grind" were swallowed belly.Yuan Guannan was deeply afraid that these people would really hurt Xiao Zhonghui, so how dare he take a step forward? Zhuo Tianxiong said: "Hero Xiao, let's open the skylight and speak honestly. The brother visited Zunfu today, one is to kowtow to Hero Xiao for birthday, and the other is to exchange a priceless treasure with Hero Xiao for a valuable treasure." Xiao Ban He said: "The villain is stupid, and he doesn't understand the meaning of Master Zhuo's words." Zhuo Tianxiong rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "The priceless treasure is your daughter's daughter, but the valuable treasure is the long-bladed mandarin knife. Brother Xiao has no grievances or enmity with Xiao Daxia, I just want to hand it over before the emperor. It's a bad job, I saved the wealth and lives of these many brothers, and I hope that Xiao Daxia will raise his hand and save the brothers." He said and cupped his hands.His words seemed to be humble, but his expression was extremely arrogant. Xiao Banhe stretched out his hand to press the back of the chair, and with a click, the back of the chair shattered immediately, he said with a smile: "Lord Zhuo respects the martial arts, why is he so foolish today? Not to mention the daughter of a villain. Could it be that a person who practices the boy's kungfu and the vitality can have children?" As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves, and a gust of wind shot out.Zhuo Tianxiong turned sideways to avoid it, and said in his heart: "It's true, this is really a child's skill of mixing vitality." When Xiao Zhonghui first heard that Yuan Guannan was her brother, she was heartbroken. Seeing that her father wanted to save her, she even insisted on refusing to recognize them as father and daughter. She couldn't help shouting: "Daddy!" At this moment, a chorus of shouts could be heard from outside: "Don't go away, Xiao Yi, the traitor!" People were noisy and horses neighed, and they didn't know how many soldiers and horses came outside the gate of the house.A few servants of the Xiao Mansion rushed in angrily, shouting: "Master...it's not good! Countless officers and soldiers...the officers and soldiers surrounded the gate of the house." Zhuo Tianxiong heard the words "Don't leave the anti-thief Xiao Yi", his mind was moved, he immediately realized, and shouted: "Okay! What Xiao Banhe? So you are the anti-thief Xiao Yi who the emperor has been hunting for for sixteen years. Righteousness." I saw a figure swaying at the gate, and four guards of the Qing palace rushed in, and the first one shouted: "Brother Zhuo, this is Xiao Yi, the rebel, why don't you do it?" Xiao Banhe laughed loudly, and said: "I have been disguised for sixteen years, and today I have returned to my original face, Xiao Yi." He stretched out his hand to wipe his face, and everyone was stunned when they saw it.The hall was already in chaos, but in an instant, when everyone looked at Xiao Banhe's face, there was no sound. It turned out that Xiao Ban and Jinger's appearance changed in an instant. Originally they had bushy beards, but there was only one smear on the palm of their hands. Their chins were completely bald. They didn't even have a single beard. Law. At this time, Yuan Guannan's bookboy came out from the inner hall with two book baskets, and said, "My lord, let's go!" Seeing the golden light, dozens of thin gold leaves floated out.All the bodyguards and officers and soldiers saw the dazzling gold, how could they not be tempted?What's more, the golden leaf floated to the front of the body, and everyone stretched out their hands to grab it.Yuan Guannan waved the torn book, and kept hitting Zhou Weixin, the hall was like a butterfly wearing flowers, and all the golden leaves were flying in the air.Zhou Weixin thought that the "Mandarin Duck Sword" must not be lost, and thought: "There is a saying in the Jianghu: 'A bachelor teaches a child, don't be greedy for cheap.'" Although he saw the golden leaf flying towards him, he didn't catch it.With a lot of luck, Yuan Guannan threw a torn book in gold that weighed several jins and hit him in the face. Zhou Weixin yelled: "Ah!" and shook his body.Yuan Guannan stepped on his feet and rushed over.Zhuo Tianxiong blocked with his horizontal palm, he only felt the wind rustling from his side, Xiao Banhe's Hunyuan Qi hit him.Zhuo Tianxiong knew how powerful it was, so he could only counterattack with his palms back, his true strength met his true strength, there was a bang, and the two of them each took two steps back.At this moment, Yuan Guannan used the saber with his left hand to kill Zhou Weixin until he was dizzy, while his right hand had unlocked Xiao Zhonghui's acupuncture points. Among the congratulatory guests, less than half of them were afraid of getting into trouble and avoided far away, but more than half of them were Xiao Banhe's close friends, or wielding weapons, or punching and kicking, fighting viciously with the attacking Qing palace guards and bodyguard officers and soldiers. Xiao Zhonghui held back for a long time, and bullied Zhou Weixin. She drew her left hand obliquely, and hooked her right hand back. Yang Dao snatched it.Yuan Guannan was overjoyed, and shouted: "Mei Hui! The breeze leads Pei down to Yaotai!" Xiao Zhonghui's eyes turned red, and he thought: "Can I still perform this troublesome couple's sword technique with you?" Looking around, he saw his father and Zhuo Tianxiong danced with all four palms, fighting indiscriminately, the rest of them also found their opponents to fight, but the two Qing palace guards forced Yuan Yang and his wife to keep retreating, and there was a lot of danger.Yuan Guannan yelled: "Mei Hui, save mom!" The two of them joined hands with two swords, one move "Shuangming Feng in the sound of bixiao", a guard was stabbed in the shoulder and fell to the ground with serious injuries, and another move "Now there is a girl named Yan Ruyu" ", another guard was hit on the cheekbone by the hilt of Xiao Zhonghui's knife, shouting and fainting. Mandarin ducks and two sabers join forces, and once they use the "husband and wife saber technique", it is really unstoppable. Wherever the two of them fight side by side, there will be guards or bodyguards injured. Enemies have fled through the door.It's just that there is something special about this saber technique, it's easy to injure someone, but extremely difficult to kill, the location of the saber on the enemy's body is not at all critical, I think the husband and wife who created this saber technique back then were kind-hearted. Willing to hurt people's lives, so in every extremely powerful sword technique, there is room for the enemy. At the end of the fight, Zhuo Tianxiong was the only one left to resist stubbornly.Yuan Guannan and Xiao Zhonghui's swords came forward, one attacked the left shoulder and the other cut the right leg.Zhuo Tianxiong pulled out a steel whip from his waist, and with a bang, knocked off the head of Xiao Zhonghui's short-bladed Yang Saber. The Husband and Wife Swordsmanship move "Happy Knot and Silky Flowers on the Trees" is so miraculous, Yuan Guannan swayed his long saber, and with a hissing sound, Zhuo Tianxiong's calf was hit by the saber, deep down to the shin bone, and blood flowed profusely. Zhuo Tianxiong's calf was seriously injured, he didn't dare to fight, he waved his palm at Xiao Zhonghui, and when she leaned to dodge, he got on his feet, he had already dodged into the courtyard, and followed him up to the roof.Originally, Yuan and Xiao combined two sabers, they could stop Zhuo Tianxiong with the stance of "Hero Wushuang Merry Son-in-law", but since Xiao Zhonghui broke off the blade, this tactic is useless. Xiao Banhe saw that the hall was full of beatings, fortunately only seven or eight people were injured on his side, no one was killed, he said loudly: "Good friends, although the officers and soldiers have temporarily retired, they will definitely come back when they are young, this place cannot be settled .Let's quickly retreat to Zhongtiao Mountain, and then make a plan." Everyone said yes with a loud bang. At that moment Xiao Banhe led his family, cleaned up the things and set fire to the mansion.Riding on the flames soaring into the sky, the city was in chaos, and everyone rushed out of the east gate and went straight to Zhongtiao Mountain.
