Chapter 12 Chapter Twelve
After Hu Fei cried a lot, he vented a lot of depression and grief in his chest. Seeing that it was dawn and the first light was emerging, he was about to go on his way, and just about to stand up after closing his tears, he suddenly called out "Ah yo!" Renfeng rushed out of the house, leaving behind his baggage, if he went back to get it, he really didn't want to meet Miao Renfeng again.
Cheng Lingsu untied Hu Fei's burden on his back and asked, "Do you want to go back and get the burden? I brought it for you." Hu Fei said happily: "Thank you very much." Cheng Lingsu said: "You have too many things in your burden, It hurt my back, I just opened it and tidied it up, put it flat and snug, don’t lose anything in a hurry, especially the jade phoenix.”
Hu Fei told her the central matter, blushed, and said, "It's fortunate that you brought the burden, otherwise you would lose money for dinner and accommodation tonight. The most important thing is the boxing scriptures handed down in my family, and I am determined not to lose it." " Cheng Lingsu opened the bag, took out his book of boxing scriptures and sabers, and said indifferently: "But this one? I'll keep it for you."
Hu Fei said: "You are so careful, you helped me take care of everything." Cheng Lingsu said: "It's a pity that I lost that jade phoenix on the road. I'm really sorry." In a hurry, he said: "I'll look back, maybe I can find it." Then he turned his head and left.Cheng Lingsu suddenly said: "Hey, what is that shining thing here?" Reaching out into the grass, he picked up something that was shining brightly, it was the jade phoenix.
Hu Fei was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "You are female Zhuge, Xiao Zhangliang, and Xiao Ke is willing to bow down." Cheng Lingsu said: "Seeing Yu Fenghuang, I see how happy you are. Give it back to you!" He returned the bag and baggage to him, and said, "Brother Hu, we will meet later."
Hu Fei was startled, and said softly: "Are you angry?" Cheng Lingsu said: "Why am I angry?" But his eyes were red, tears were about to drip, and he turned his head away.Hu Fei said: "You...where are you going?" Cheng Lingsu said: "I don't know." Hu Fei said: "Why don't you know?" Cheng Lingsu said: "I have no father or mother, and the master died again, and no one gave me anything Give me the jade phoenix and the jade unicorn, I... how do I know where to go." At this point, tears finally flowed down.
Since Hu Fei met her, he has seen that she is meticulous in her thoughts, has the upper hand in everything, and solves all difficulties when she encounters them. But at this time, seeing her standing pretty in the morning wind, the moon is shining, and her timid back is slightly shaking, she can't help feeling sorry for her. , Said: "I'll give you a ride." Cheng Lingsu turned his back, wiped his tears with the corner of his clothes, and said, "I'm not going anywhere. What are you sending me for? You want me to heal Miao Daxia's eyes. It has been cured."
Hu Fei wanted to make her happy, and said, "But there is still one thing I haven't done." Cheng Lingsu turned around and asked, "What?" Just one thing. What is it, you haven’t said anything yet.” Cheng Lingsu is a young girl who suddenly broke into a smile and said, “If you don’t mention it, I’ll forget it. You agree to whatever you want, don't you?" Hu Fei is indeed willing to do anything for her, and said proudly: "As long as I can do it, I will follow my orders."
Cheng Lingsu stretched out his hand and said, "Okay, give me that jade phoenix." Hu Fei was stunned, feeling very embarrassed, but in the end he kept what he said, and immediately handed over the jade phoenix.Cheng Lingsu refused to answer, and said, "What am I here for? I want you to smash it to pieces."
Hu Fei couldn't do anything about this matter, and he was stunned on the spot, looking at Cheng Lingsu, and then at the jade phoenix in his hand, not knowing what to do, Yuan Ziyi's pretty figure and face, flashed in his heart instantly Turned a few times.
Cheng Lingsu approached slowly, took Yufeng from his hand, put it in his arms, and said with a smile: "From now on, don't promise anything casually. There are many things in the world, even if you say yes, But it can't be done. Well, let's go!" Hu Fei felt lost and felt an indescribable feeling, holding the pot of seven-heart crabapple for her, and followed behind.
At noon, we came to a big town.Hu Fei said: "Let's find a restaurant to eat, and then go buy two animals." Before the words were finished, I saw a middle-aged man in a satin robe with the appearance of a businessman coming forward, clasped his fists and said: "This is Mr. Hu Hu Fei has never seen this person before, and said politely: "Don't dare, my surname is Hu. May I ask your surname, are you really looking for Xiaoke?" The man smiled and said: "Exactly! The villain is ordered by the master, I've been waiting here for a long time, please use a bit rougher here." He said respectfully and led the two of them to a restaurant. The shop assistants in the restaurant didn't wait for the man's orders, and immediately set out the wine and food. It was said to be crude, but it was a very rich and delicate banquet.Both Hu Fei and Cheng Lingsu were amazed.Seeing the businessman sitting next to the prime minister, his manner was respectful, and he didn't mention who invited him, so the two stopped asking and ate something casually. After dinner and dinner, the businessman said, "Please rest here, both of you." After getting down to the restaurant, someone brought three big horses over.The three of them got on their horses, and the businessman led the way. They traveled five or six miles out of the town and arrived in front of a large villa.Hanging willows surround the house, with white walls and black doors, which is quite grand.There were six or seven servants standing in front of the door. When they saw the businessman, they all stood with their hands down. The businessman invited Hu Fei and Cheng Lingsu to the hall for tea, and the table was filled with fruit and snacks.Hu Fei thought to himself: "If I ask him why he received him like this, he will definitely not say it when he is not in time, and let him make a fuss, I will just adapt to the situation." Talking about the scenery along the way with Cheng Lingsu casually, ignoring that person .The businessman only respectfully accompanied him, and didn't intervene in the conversation between the two of them. After eating the snacks, the businessman said: "Master Hu and this girl are exhausted from the journey, please take a bath and change clothes in the inner room." Hu Fei thought to himself: "Hearing from his tone, it seems that he doesn't know Miss Cheng's background. Yao Wang's disciple poisoned himself, just asking for trouble." Followed the servant into the inner hall.Another servant woman came to wait on Cheng Lingsu and went to the back building to take a bath. The two rested for a while, and went to the hall again, you looked at me, I looked at you, and saw that the clothes and shoes on each other's bodies were completely new.Cheng Lingsu laughed in a low voice: "Brother Hu, are you celebrating the New Year? You are so neatly dressed." Hu Fei saw that her face was lightly covered with makeup and powder, and her delicate beauty was slightly enhanced. Then the skin is yellow and thin, dull, and he smiled and said: "You really look like a bride." Cheng Lingsu blushed, turned his head and ignored her.Hu Fei secretly regretted her slip of the tongue, but when she peeked at her, there was no anger on her face, only a naughty and shy light in her eyes. At this time, there was already plenty of wine and food in the hall. The businessman toasted three glasses of wine to Hu Fei, turned around and entered, and when he came back, he held a tray in his hand. There was a red cloth bundle on the tray. On the cover of his notebook, there are nine characters "Gongshang Hu Uncle Yinfei Congratulations".He held the book in both hands and presented it to Hu Fei, saying: "The villain is ordered by the master to present this small gift to Uncle Hu." Hu Fei refused to answer, and asked: "Who is the master? Why do you give me a small gift? I'm afraid I have identified the wrong person." The businessman said: "It can't be wrong! My superiors ordered not to mention his name, and Uncle Hu will naturally know in the future. "Hu Fei was so surprised, took the brocade book, opened it, and saw that the first page read: "415 acres of high-quality paddy fields and seven points", and the four to and locations of the fields are indicated in detail below, and it is also indicated Who is the tenant, how many stones and buckets of grain are paid for rent every year, and so on. Hu Fei was amazed and thought to himself: "What do I want these more than 400 mu of land for?" Turning to the second page, he saw: "There is one Zhuangzi, five entrances, twelve buildings and seventy-three bungalows." The following is a detailed note of Zhuangzi's four places in the southeast, north and west, as well as the name of each house, gardens, halls, wing rooms, as well as stoves, firewood houses, stables, etc., all written clearly in small characters.Scrolling down, it is the names of servants and servants in Zhuangzi, daily gold and silver, grain, livestock, cars and sedan chairs, furniture, clothing, etc.Hu Fei flipped through it, feeling very confused, and handed the book to Cheng Lingsu, saying: "Look." Cheng Lingsu looked at it, but couldn't figure out what the intention was, and said with a smile: "Mr. Hu, Gong Xi Fa Cai!" The businessman said: "I said that I was in a hurry and didn't prepare well. It's really not a respect." Said: "What is your surname?" The businessman said: "The villain's surname is Zhang. The land and real estate here are temporarily managed by the villain for Uncle Hu. Uncle Hu sees that there is something inappropriate, so he only needs to order. The villain can do it." No, Uncle Hu, please change people at any time. The deeds of the fields and houses are all here, please take care of Uncle Hu." He said and presented many papers.Hu Fei said: "You put it away. As the saying goes: You don't get paid without merit. I may not be able to accept such a generous gift." The businessman said: "Uncle Hu is too modest. My boss only said that the courtesy is too thin, and I really feel sorry for it. " Hu Fei has traveled all over the world since he was a child, and he has seen a lot of strange things, but he has never heard of such a sudden receipt of such a generous gift, and the person who gave the gift avoided seeing each other.Judging by the behavior of this surnamed Zhang, he definitely doesn't know martial arts, and there is no aura of a martial arts figure in his conversation. It seems that he is only following the orders of others, and he doesn't necessarily know the inside story. After dinner and dinner, Hu Fei and Cheng Lingsu went to the study to rest.But seeing the books on the four walls of the study room, there are several rows of thumping books and Chen Yaoqin racks, which is very elegant.A book boy brought tea and then retreated, leaving only two people in the room. Cheng Lingsu smiled and said: "Mr. Hu, I didn't expect you to become a master here." Hu Fei couldn't help laughing when he thought about it, and then frowned, and said, "I think the gift giver may be uneasy and kind, but I really can't guess this Who is it? What is the purpose of doing this?" Cheng Lingsu said: "Could it be Miao Renfeng?" Hu Fei shook his head and said: "Although this person has a deep hatred with me, I think he is upright and generous I will never do such sneaky things." Cheng Lingsu said: "You help him defeat the enemy, and ask me to heal his eyes, and he will give you a generous gift. Enmity, I'm afraid it's a good intention." Hu Fei said: "How can the surname Hu look at the gold and silver fields and forget the great enmity of his parents? No! Miao Renfeng will not underestimate me like this." Cheng Lingsu extended Tongue, said: "I underestimated you." The two discussed it for a long time, but they couldn't see any clues, so they decided to stay here overnight, at least to find out some clues.At night, Hu Fei slept peacefully in the big room in the back hall, but Cheng Lingsu's boudoir was located upstairs next to the garden.Hu Fei has never lived in such a magnificent house in his life, and it is even more incredible that this house belongs to him. He slept until the first watch, he pushed the window lightly and jumped out to the roof, leaned down and looked around, saw that the lights in the backyard to the west were still on, so he started to lighten his body and ran over.The eaves of the foot hook, an "upside-down bead curtain", looked in from the window crack, and saw Didi, surnamed Zhang, doing his own calculations, and another old family member was by his side.The person surnamed Zhang wrote a few accounts, and then said a few words to the family, talking about trivial matters such as salary and rice. After listening for a long time, Hu Fei was clueless, and was about to turn around when he heard a soft sound on the east roof.He turned over and stood up straight, holding the handle of the knife, and it was Cheng Lingsu who came over.She made a gesture, and Hu Fei jumped over.Cheng Lingsu whispered: "I've looked at the front and back, and there's no trace of it. Did you see anything?" Hu Fei shook his head, then looked in through the crack of the window, and saw that the man surnamed Zhang took out a pile of gold ingots from a large box, with sixty or seventy ingots.He wrapped the gold ingots in batches, then sat down and wrote a piece of lacquered red paper, and pasted them on the gold packets respectively. Hu Fei and Cheng Lingsu looked from a distance, and saw that the red notes were written: "Festival ceremony respectful presentation system The words "Master Army", "Respectfully present to Master Futai", "Respectfully present to Master Futai" and so on.Hu Fei said softly: "The person who gave the gift made friends with a high-ranking official has a lot of background. Let's take a closer look tomorrow and don't rush to expose him." Cheng Lingsu said: "Yes, if you ask, you won't get anything out of it." The two went back to their rooms respectively, and they were on guard this night, thinking over and over again, but they didn't sleep soundly. When he got up the next morning, a boy servant brought ginseng soup and bird's nest, followed by noodle dumplings and snacks, but Hu Fei also had a pot of champion red wine.Hu Fei thought to himself: "With Miss Cheng as a companion, it's not lonely to talk about it. Living here can be said to be carefree and happy." Seeing Cheng Lingsu put on a little makeup, although her appearance is not beautiful , but she also felt quite pretty, and suddenly felt a move in her heart: "If I marry her as my wife and live a peaceful life here, it will be a blessing I have never enjoyed in my life. Although Miss Yuan is much cuter than her, she is constantly Opposing me is obviously the party of Feng Tiannan, a big bully. Besides, first, she may not be willing to marry me. Second, even if she marries me, she will fight and make noise all day long, but Miss Cheng is right. I'm so good, it's much more interesting to be together. It's just that the owner here is not a good person when he makes friends with the government. Could it be that I, Hu Fei, covet wealth and comfort, and join forces with such people?" Suddenly, he changed his mind: "That bully surnamed Feng killed Zhong Asi's family. If I don't avenge Zhong's family, how can I stand between heaven and earth?" Thinking of this, the blood in his chest boiled, and he said to Cheng Lingsu: "Let's start now?" Cheng Lingsu didn't ask him where he was going, but replied, "Okay, let's start now." The two went back to the bedroom and changed into old clothes.Hu Fei said to the businessman surnamed Zhang: "Let's go!" After saying this, he walked away.The man surnamed Zhang was stunned, and said: "This... this... how come so fast? Hu Da... Hu Da, my villain is going to pay for the journey, please wait for a while." Wait for him to go in and carry it A large plate of gold and silver ingots came out, and Hu Cheng and his wife had already left.
The two of them took big strides and headed north. At noon, they arrived at a market. After inquiring, they found out that the place where they stayed last night was called Yitang Town.Hu Fei took out the silver and bought two horses, and the two rode side by side, talking about yesterday's miracles all the way. Cheng Lingsu said: "We eat and drink for nothing, live and sleep for nothing, and nothing is lost at all. In this way, the master doesn't seem to be doing anything wrong." Hu Fei said: "I always feel that this matter is weird and very strange. It's a bit evil." Cheng Lingsu said with a smile: "I hope that there will be more such evil things, and the yin and yang are constantly connected along the way. Hey, Mr. Hu, where are you going?" Hu Fei said: " I want to go to Beijing. You also go to have fun, okay?" Cheng Lingsu said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm just afraid of some inconvenience." Hu Feiqi said: "What's the inconvenience?" Cheng Lingsu said with a smile: "Hu When the uncle goes to visit the girl who gave the jade phoenix, do you still have to bring a servant girl with you?" Hu Fei said seriously: "No, I'm going to hunt down an enemy. Although this man's martial arts is not very high, he has many eyes and ears, cunning and wisdom. I hope Miss Cheng will help me." Ah Si's family, how they met in the temple to avoid the rain, how they escaped for him again, and so on. When Cheng Lingsu heard him talk about the encounter in the ancient temple and Feng Tiannan Heiye Rabbit's passing, his words were somewhat inaccurate, and asked: "The girl who gave the jade phoenix is also in the ancient temple, isn't she?" Hu Fei was taken aback, thinking that she is extremely smart, anyway, I have done nothing wrong, so I don't need to hide it from her, so I simply asked how to know Yuan Ziyi, how she won the position of head of the three factions, how she helped Fengtian South and other feelings, also said from the beginning to the end. Cheng Lingsu asked: "This Miss Yuan is a beauty, isn't she?" Hu Fei was startled slightly, blushing, and said: "It's pretty." Cheng Lingsu said: "It's much prettier than my ugly girl, yes no?" Hu Fei didn't expect her to ask so straightforwardly, so he couldn't help being quite embarrassed, and said: "Who said you are an ugly girl? Miss Yuan is a few years older than you, so she is naturally taller." Cheng Lingsu smiled and said: " When I was eight years old, I used my mother's mirror to play with. My sister said: "It's ugly, don't take a picture! You can still look ugly when you look at it." Humph! I ignored her, and guess what happened?" Hu Fei felt cold, and thought to himself: "Don't poison your sister to death." He said, "I don't know." Cheng Lingsu heard his voice trembling slightly, his face had a strange look, guessed his thoughts, and said: "Are you afraid that I will poison my sister to death? I was only eight years old at that time. Well, but the next day, the mirror at home was open It's gone." Hu Fei said, "That's strange." Cheng Lingsu said: "It's not surprising at all, I threw them all into the well." After a pause, he said, "But after I finished throwing the mirror, I immediately understood. She was born as an ugly girl, even without the mirror, she is still ugly." The surface of the water in the well is a round mirror, which clearly reflects my appearance. At that time, I really wanted to jump into the well and die." At this point, he suddenly raised his whip Twitching the horse's hindquarters wildly, galloping forward. Hu Fei followed with his horse, and the two rode for more than ten miles at a stretch before Cheng Lingsu reined in the horse's head.Hu Fei saw that her eyes were red, and she was crying just now. He didn't dare to look at her more, thinking: "Although you are not as beautiful as Miss Yuan, you are by no means an ugly girl. Besides, a person's morality is the first, and intelligence is the first." Second, whether you are born with good looks or not, why should you be sad? You are smart in everything, why can’t you just ignore it?” Looking at her thin silhouette, she felt pity in her heart, and said, “I have something to ask for. , I don’t know if you are willing to agree, I don’t know if I can climb high?” Cheng Lingsu trembled, and said in a trembling voice: "You...what did you say?" Hu Fei looked from behind her, saw that her ears and half of her cheeks were all red, and said, "You and I have no parents, I want to talk to you." You sworn brother and sister, do you agree?" Cheng Lingsu's cheeks turned pale in an instant, and he laughed loudly: "Okay, what's wrong with that? I really wish I had such a brother!" Hearing the sarcasm in her tone, Hu Fei couldn't help being quite ruthless, and said: "I am sincere." Cheng Lingsu said: "Am I lying?" With one knee bent, he knelt on the ground.Seeing that she was so straightforward, Hu Fei also knelt on the ground and bowed to the sky a few times.The two kowtowed to each other. Cheng Lingsu said: "Everyone says that we have to kowtow eight heads, one, two, three, four...seven, eight... well, I'm a younger sister, so I kowtow two more." Sure enough, two more kowtows, Only then did I stand up. Seeing her words and actions, Hu Fei suddenly became slightly mad, and he became a little unnatural, and said: "From now on, I will call you the second sister." Cheng Lingsu said: "Yes, you are the eldest brother. Why don't we set up Make an oath of alliance, what do you mean to share blessings and share hardships?" Hu Fei said: "The value of friendship lies in the alliance of the heart, it is the same whether you say it or not." Cheng Lingsu said: "Ah, so it is." Said and jumped on the horseback, this From day to dusk, I never spoke to Hu Fei again.
The two of them arrived in Anlu in the evening, and as soon as they galloped into the entrance of the market, a waiter came up to hold the horse's head and said, "This is Uncle Hu, right? Please come to the shop to rest your horse." Hu Feiqi said, "Why do you Do you know my surname Hu?" The waiter in the shop smiled and said, "I have been waiting here for a long time." He led the way and let the two of them enter an inn with a spacious building.The housewife only kept one room, so she opened another room, and there was no need to order tea, wine and rice, and the price of the water would be sent up.Hu Fei asked the waiter in the shop who told him to wait like this.The waiter in the shop smiled and said: "Uncle Hu in Yitang Town, who doesn't know?" When he checked out the next morning, the shopkeeper bowed again and again, saying that he had already paid, and he was only willing to accept a few coins from Hu Fei to the shop partner as a reward. It was like this for several days.Although Hu Fei and Cheng Lingsu are both very clever, but limited by their age and experience, they can't see through what kind of quack trick this is. After leaving on the fourth day, Cheng Lingsu said: "Brother, I have been paying attention for the past few days. If no one follows us, someone must have told you about your appearance in the future and ordered someone to wait for you. Let's disguise yourself, and then come from the side. Take a look, maybe you can find out the truth." Hu Fei said happily: "This plan is great." The two bought two sets of clothes, shoes and hats in the market, went to the outskirts, and changed their clothes in a deserted forest.Cheng Lingsu cut his hair into a false beard, stuck it on Hu Fei's lips, and dressed him up as a middle-aged man in his forties. He put on a long gown and a small cap, and turned into a thin and small young man.The two looked at each other and laughed at each other.When they arrived at the front market, the two even exchanged their mounts for donkeys.Hu Fei put the burden on others, and bought a dry pipe, took a few puffs, and puffed out the smoke. With this look, no matter how good the eyesight is, no one else will recognize him. When I arrived in Guangshui this evening, I saw two store associates standing by the road, stretching their necks and looking around. Hu Fei knew that they were waiting for him, so he couldn't help laughing secretly, and went to the store. The shopkeeper saw that the two looked shabby, and greeted them lazily Yes, they were given two Anhui-style rooms.The two shop assistants waited until it was dark, and then returned to the shop listlessly.Hu Fei called a person in and chatted nonsense with him, trying to get some news from him.Just talking a few gossips, suddenly there was a sound of horseshoes on the road, and the sound was more than one time.The shop assistant said happily, "Uncle Hu is here." He rushed out of the shop. Hu Fei thought in his heart: "Uncle Hu is here early, I told you what happened, you don't know yet." He went to the lobby to watch the excitement.Only the noise of people was heard, and the innkeeper said loudly: "It's not Uncle Hu, it's the high-ranking official of the Escort Bureau." Then a man walked in, holding a dart flag in his hand, and stuck it in the bamboo tube outside the inn. When Hu Fei looked at the dart flag, he was stunned. The dart flag had a yellow background with black lines, embroidered with a horse with wings on its back. He had seen such a dart flag in the merchant fort back then, and recognized it as the flag of the Pegasus Escort Bureau. He thought to himself that the owner of the bodyguard, Baisheng Shenquan Ma Xingkong, had already been burned to death in Shangshangbao, so he didn't know who would be the head of the bodyguard right now.The escort flag was old and faded, it hadn't been changed for many years, the hand of that trip was also old and decrepit, it seems that the Pegasus Escort Bureau has not seen much prosperity in recent years. The head of the bodyguard who followed in was a man of high spirits with numerous small scars on his face. Hu Fei recognized him as Ma Xingkong's disciple Xu Zheng.Behind him is a young woman dressed up, holding a boy in each hand, it is Ma Chunhua, Ma Xingkong's daughter.Hu Fei and her have not seen each other for several years. Although she is still beautiful, she can't hide the weather and haggard on her face.The two boys are about four years old, but they are snow-white and cute. They look exactly the same, and they are obviously a pair of twin brothers.Only a boy said: "Mom, I'm hungry, I want some noodles." Ma Chunhua lowered his head and said, "Okay, let's eat together after Dad washes his face." Hu Fei thought to himself: "It turns out that his brothers and sisters are married and have two children." When he was in Shangshangbao, the young man first met men and women, and he couldn't help but feel proud when he saw Ma Chunhua's beautiful appearance and plump figure Infatuated with love, but this girl only appeared occasionally in the spring dream. Later, she was captured by the old lady Shang and beaten with a whip by Shang Baozhen. Ma Chunhua tried her best to plead for mercy. heart.We met in a foreign land today, if he didn't want to be recognized by others, he would have gone up to recognize Daogu. The hostess who opened the inn never dared to offend the Escort Bureau, although seeing that the Pegasus Escort Bureau has only one dart car, and everyone's clothes are old and worn, it is expected that there is not much money, the shopkeeper still stepped forward to receive him hospitablely. When Xu Zheng heard that there was no upper room, he frowned, and was about to speak, when the trainer turned his hand from the inside and said, "Aren't the two upper rooms facing south vacant? Why are they gone?" The innkeeper smiled and said, "Forgive me, Daguan. The two rooms were booked the day before yesterday, and the money has been paid, and they are agreed to be used tonight." Xu Zheng's luck has been bad in recent years, and he often misses when he walks the darts. He felt wronged, and after hearing this, he stretched out his hand and slapped the ledger hard, and he was about to explode.Ma Chunhua hurriedly tugged at his sleeves, and said, "Forget it, just stay here for a night, that's it." Xu Zheng really listened to his wife, gave the shopkeeper a hard look, and walked into the west-facing small room. house.Ma Chunhua pulled the two children, and said in a low voice: "The fee for this single dart is so meager, if you don't deal with it, you will lose money. If you don't live in a house, it's better to save some money." Xu Zheng said: "That's not bad, but I just look at these guys who look down on people and get angry." After Ma Xingkong's death, Xu Zheng and Ma Chunhua got married soon, and they took over the Pegasus Escort.Xu Zheng's martial arts prestige is certainly not as good as his master's, but he is reckless and straightforward by nature, and he can't make use of his friends in the arena. In three or four years, he ran into trouble several times, and it was only thanks to Ma Chunhua's efforts to make up for it every time. past.As a result, the Pegasus Escort's business plummeted, and big deals never came to the door.This time, there was a salt merchant who wanted to send a sum of money to Baoding Mansion in Zhili, Beizhili.Xu Zheng and his wife had always walked darts together, Ma Chunhua felt that she had no reliable relatives at home, so she couldn't worry about the child, so she took them out together, for the mere 9,000 taels of silver, there would be no risk on the road. Hu Fei glanced at the escort car, walked to Cheng Lingsu's room, and said, "Second sister, this escort couple is my old acquaintance." He briefly talked about how he met them in the merchant fort. Cheng Lingsu said: "Do you recognize them?" Hu Fei said: "When Ming'er becomes enlightened and goes to a remote and uninhabited place, then we will come forward to recognize each other." Cheng Lingsu said with a smile: "A remote and uninhabited place? Ah, That's amazing! They don't think you, a mustache, are a strong man in robbery." Hu Fei smiled and said: "This dart is not worth Hu Dazhai's initiative. Master Cheng Erzhai, what do you think?" Cheng Lingsu laughed : "Look at the head of the bodyguard who has no money on him, he is very poor. You and my brother are also thieves, so you can't help but pat the horse and give him a few keys of gold." Hu Fei laughed.He did have the intention of donating money, but he just wanted to figure out a proper way, and when donating money, he must not lose respect, so as not to hurt others' face. The two were blinded by the night, and Hu Fei went back to his room to go to bed. He slept until midnight, when he suddenly heard a light click on the roof.Although he was asleep, he was startled immediately, turned over and sat up, stepped down the kang, and heard that there were two people in the room.The two clapped their hands lightly and jumped down from the roof.Hu Fei stood at the window, thinking: "Where are these two people coming from, they are so bold, acting like no one else?" Stretching out his fingers to poke through the window paper, looking out, he saw that both of them were wearing long gowns, and they were not holding weapons in their hands. A door to the upper room, he walked in, followed the flash of the fire, and lit the lamp. Hu Fei thought to himself: "It turns out that these two people know the owner of the shop, and they are not evil people." Back on the kang, he suddenly heard the sound of kicking and tapping the slippers, and the waiter walked to the door of the upper room and shouted: "Who is it? Why? In the middle of the night, you didn't go through the door, just jumped down like this?" He yelled, walked into the upper room, and just stepped in, he yelled "Ah yo", followed by a bang, and "" My mother, I've killed someone" cried, and it turned out that someone threw him out and fell into the yard firmly. With such a noise, everyone in the store woke up.One of the two long-clothed men stood at the door of the upper room and said loudly: "We are ordered by the master of the Jigong Mountain King to step on the plate and rob the dart money tonight. We are looking for the head of the Pegasus Escort Bureau Xu. People, don't do your own business, go back to your room and sleep peacefully, so as not to accidentally injure someone's life." Xu Zheng and Ma Chunhua had woken up a long time ago, and they couldn't help being shocked and angry when they heard him screaming like this, thinking that no matter how powerful a robber he is, he must not bully him into the inn, this Guangshui is not a small place, such a Lawless, but I've never seen it.Xu Zheng said loudly: "The one surnamed Xu is here, and the two good friends will stay forever." The man laughed loudly and said: "You give the uncle nine thousand taels of silver, a dart flag, and both hands, that's all, ask the uncle what you want? Let's see you later." As they said that, they clapped their hands twice, and the two flew on their bodies. Room. Xu Zheng raised his right hand, and two steel darts shot upwards.The man behind Huifeng caught it, and then threw it downwards. With a bang, sparks splashed in all directions and landed a foot in front of Xu Zheng. Both darts were nailed into the bluestone slab in Wanzizhong. Xu Zheng absolutely cannot.All I could hear were the two laughing on the roof, followed by the sound of horseshoes, and headed north. The store clerk and the resident waited for the two thugs to go away, and then they talked about it, some said to report to the police quickly, some advised Xu Zheng to take a detour, some said it was better to go home, There is no need to protect this trip. Xu Zheng kept silent, pulled out two steel darts, and returned to the room.The couple discussed in low voices, seeing that these two people have extraordinary martial arts, they must be famous figures in the martial arts world, how could they take a fancy to this small cymbal?Although he knew that the future was not good, but when a dart went out, the rule was that there was no retreat, and he must not turn back, otherwise the escort agency would be considered as having smashed the signboard.Xu Zheng said angrily: "My friends in the underworld are bullying people more and more. Will we still be able to eat this meal in the future? Today I will risk my life to avoid it, and I can't back down. These two children..." Ma Chunhua said "We have no grievances or enmities with the underworld. At most, it's just a matter of money. It's not a matter of life. It doesn't matter if you bring children." But in her heart, she has long regretted it. These two young children accompanied him to take the risk of the rivers and lakes. Hu Fei and Cheng Lingsu saw everything clearly through the window, and secretly wondered, feeling that there were many unexplainable things along the way. After disguised, they avoided the reception for no reason, but encountered the Pegasus Escort again. miracle.
In the early morning of the next day, the escort cars of the Pegasus Escort set off together, and Hu Fei and Cheng Lingsu followed closely behind.Seeing that the two of them followed closely, Xu Zheng expected them to be gangsters, and would look back and glare at them from time to time.Hu Cheng and the two just pretended not to see each other.At noon, Hu Cheng and the Pegasus Escort also ate beef noodle cakes with Pegasus Escort. In the evening, about 30 miles away from Wushengguan, only the sound of horseshoes was heard, and two horses galloped towards each other.Immediately, the passengers wore gray cloth robes, passed by the escort car, and went straight to Hu Cheng and the two, and then drove along with the disturbance, laughing and hearing the voices were the two thugs from last night. Hu Fei said: "Wait until they catch up from behind, and within a few miles, they will start." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes in front, and two more horses passed by. Vigorous, obviously a figure in the world.Hu Fei said: "Strange, strange!" After less than a mile of travel, two more horses rushed towards him, followed by two more horses. When Xu Zheng saw this powerful faction, he was overwhelmed for a long time, instead of being angry, he smiled, and said: "Junior Sister, Master once said that the first-class big stronghold in the green forest is the first-class dart that mobilizes the army to rob everyone." I got six masters to look for the plate, and today I sent eight masters in a row, followed by two lingering ghosts. I'm afraid our bodyguards are not nine thousand taels of silver, but nine million, nine thousand taels. Ten thousand taels!" Ma Chunhua couldn't figure out why the other party came to deal with this insignificant dart with so much fanfare, the more he didn't understand, the more worried he became, and said to Xu Zheng and Qu Zi: "The situation is not right later, it's important that we take the children and escape The nine thousand taels of silver is not a big amount, and I can still afford it." Xu Zheng said boldly, "Master's first name, is it just given to me, a disciple who is not good enough?" Ma Chunhua said sadly. : "It's for the sake of the children. From now on, the two of us will plow the fields and work in agriculture, and eat a bitter meal, so we won't do such desperate activities with knives." Speaking of this, he suddenly heard the sound of hooves galloping behind him, and when he looked back, the dust was flying, and the eight horses rushed up from behind.With a long cry, a loud arrow flew over his head, followed by eight horsemen rushing towards him. Hu Fei said: "Look at the momentum, these people are probably coming for us." Cheng Lingsu nodded and said: "The field is back to the farmer!" Hu Fei said: "Our transformation will not work after all, but we were recognized." At this time, the front eight vehicles and the rear eight vehicles all reined in and did not move, sandwiching the Escort Bureau and his party and Hu Cheng in the middle. Xu Zheng got off his horse, flashed his single saber, clasped his fists and said, "I'm Xu..." After saying only three words, an old man in the eight vehicles in front leaped off his horse, leaped forward, holding a strange-shaped weapon, and without saying a word, he Throw it at Xu Zheng's face. Hu Fei and Cheng Lingsu reined in their horses, and it was strange to see the weapon in the old man's hand. There was a horizontal bar in front, curved like a snake, and behind the horizontal bar was a T-shaped handshake. The two ends of the horizontal bar were sharp, like a deformed crane. The appearance of a hoe.Hu Fei didn't know this thing, so he asked Cheng Lingyu, "What is that?" Before Cheng Lingsu could answer, a bandit behind him smiled and said, "Old boy, I'll teach you to be a good boy. This is called Lei Mian Biao." Cheng Lingsu interjected, "If you don't use Lei Zhen Biao with the Lightning Cone, your martial arts will be normal." The robber stayed silent for a moment, looked at Cheng Lingsu sideways, and couldn't help but be amazed that the skinny boy knew about lightning cones.It turned out that the old man was his senior brother, and the bandit himself used Lightning Wei.The masters of the two of them use the lightning awl with the right hand and the thunder block with the left hand, one attack and one defense, the changes are extremely wonderful.The two weapons, one long and the other short, complement each other when the two hands are used together. Although they are very powerful, they are also very difficult.His two senior brothers each acquired the skills of one hand of their master, but they still couldn't learn to use two weapons at the same time.The two of them have been outside the Great Wall since they were young, and they have not been in the Central Plains for a long time, and his lightning awl was hidden in his sleeve, and he did not take it out.He didn't know that Cheng Lingsu's master, Master Wang Wu'an, the poisonous hand medicine master, had a wide range of knowledge and knowledge. He usually told this favorite little disciple about various schools and schools of martial arts. Therefore, although she had never seen Lei Zhenbu, she knew him as soon as she heard his name. There is a lightning cone. 但见那老者将兵刃使得轰轰发发，果有雷震之威。徐铮单刀上的功夫虽也不弱，但让雷震挡裹住了，渐渐施展不开。 只听得前后十五名大盗你一言，我一语，出言讥嘲：“什么飞马镖局？当年马老镖头走镖，才称得上'飞马'二字，到了姓徐的手里，早该改称狗爬镖局啦！”“这小子学了两手三脚猫，不在家里抱娃娃，却到外面来丢人现世。”“喂，姓徐的，快跪下来磕三个响头，我们大哥便饶了你狗命。”“走镖走得这么寒蠢，连九千两银子也保，不如买块豆腐来自己撞死了吧！”“神拳无敌马老镖头当年赫赫威名，武林中无人不服，这脓包小子真对不住师父。”“我瞧他夫人比他强上十倍，真是武林中女侠的身份，当真是一朵鲜花插在牛粪上！好叫人瞧着生气。” 胡斐听了各人言语，心想这群大盗对徐铮的底细摸得甚为清楚，不但知道他一共保了多少镖银，还知他师承来历，说话之中对徐铮固极尽尖酸刻薄，对马春花和她过世的父亲却毫无得罪之处，甚至还显得颇为尊敬。胡斐虽不识雷震挡，但那老者功力不弱，出手既狠且准，却一眼便知，不禁暗自奇怪：“这老头儿虽不能说是江湖上的一流好手，但如此武功，必是个颇有身份的成名人物。瞧各人作为，决非冲着这区区九千两银子而来。若是田归农派人来跟我为难，却又何必费这么大的劲儿去对付徐铮？” 马春花双手抱着两个儿子，在旁瞧得焦急万分，她早知丈夫不是人家对手，然自己上前相助，只不过多引一个敌人下场，于事丝毫无补，两个儿子没人照料，势必落入盗众手里。眼睁睁地瞧着丈夫越来越不济，突见那老者将蛇形兵器往前疾送，快速异常地圈转回拉，徐铮单刀脱手，飞上半天，她“啊”的一声叫了出来。 那老者左足横扫，徐铮急跃避过。单刀从半空落将下来，盗众中一人举起长剑，往上一撩，一柄钢刀登时断为两截。那盗伙身手好快，长剑跟着右劈左削，又将尚未落地的两截断刀斩成四截。他手中所持的固是极锋利的宝剑，而出手之迅捷，更使人目为之眩。餐、群盗齐声喝彩。 瞧这情势，哪里是拦路劫镖，实是对徐铮存心戏弄！单是这手持长剑的大盗一人，打败徐铮夫妇便绰绰有余，何况同伙共有一十六人，看来个个都是好手，人人笑傲自若，便如十六头灵猫围住了一只小鼠，要戏耍个够，才分而吞噬。 徐铮红了双眼，双臂挥舞，招招是拼命的拳式，但那老者雷震挡的铁柄长逾四尺，徐铮如何欺得近身去？数招之间，只听得嗤的一声响，雷震挡的尖端划破了徐铮裤脚，大腿上鲜血长流，接着又是一声，徐铮左臀中挡。那老者抬起右腿，将他踢翻在地，左脚踏住，冷笑道：“我也不要你性命，只要废了你一对招子，罚你不生眼睛，太也糊涂。”徐铮又害怕，又愤怒，胸口气为之塞，说不出话来。 马春花叫道：“众位朋友，你们要镖银，拿去便是。我们跟各位往日无冤，近日无仇，何必赶尽杀绝？”那使剑的大盗笑道：“马姑娘，你是好人，不用多管闲事。” 马春花道：“什么多管闲事？他是我丈夫啊。”使雷震挡的老者道：“我们就是瞧着他太也不配，委曲了才貌双全的马姑娘，这才千里迢迢地赶来打这个抱不平。这件事非管不可！”胡斐和程灵素越听越奇怪，均想：“这批大盗居然来管人家夫妻的家务事，还说什么打抱不平，当真好笑。”两人对望一眼，目光中均含笑意。 便在此时，那老者举起雷震挡，挡尖对准徐铮右眼，戳了下去。马春花大叫一声，抢上相救，呼的一响，马上一个盗伙手中花枪从空刺下，将她拦住。两个小孩齐叫：“爸爸！”向徐铮身边奔表。 突然间灰影晃动，那老者手腕酸麻，急忙翻挡迎敌，手里骞然间轻了，原来手中兵刃竟已不知去向，惊怒中抬起头来，只见那灰影跃上马背，自己的独门兵刃雷震挡却已给他拿在手中舞弄，白光闪闪，转成一个圆圈。 如此倏来倏去，一瞬之间下马上马，空手夺了他雷震挡的，正是胡斐！ 众盗相顾骇然，顷刻间寂静无声，竟没一人说话，人人均为眼前之事惊得呆了。过了半晌，各人才纷纷呼喝，举刀挺杖，奔向胡斐。 胡斐大声叫道：“是线上的合字儿吗？风紧，扯呼，老窑里来了花门的，三刀兔儿爷换着走，咱们胡子上开洞，财神菩萨上山！”群盗又是一怔，听他说的黑话不像黑话，不知瞎扯些什么。 那雷震挡遭夺的老者怒道：“朋友，你是哪一路的，来搅这趟浑水干吗？”胡斐道：“兄弟专做没本钱买卖，好容易跟上了飞马镖局的九千两银子，没想到半路里杀出来十六位程咬金。各位要分一份，这不叫人心疼么？”那老者冷笑道：“哼，朋友别装蒜啦，趁早留下个万儿来是正经。” 徐铮于千钧一发之际逃得了性命，搂住了两个孩子。马春花站在他身旁，睁着一双大眼盯住胡斐，一时之间还不明白眼前到底发生了何事。她只道胡斐和程灵素也必都是盗伙一路，哪知他却和那老者争了起来。 只见胡斐伸手一抹上唇的小胡子，咬着烟袋，说道：“好，我跟老兄实说了吧。神拳无敌马行空是我师弟，师侄的事儿，老人家不能不管。” 胡斐此语一出，马春花吃了一惊，心想：“哪里出来了这样一个师伯？我从没听爹爹说过，而且这人年纪比爹爹轻得多，哪能是师伯？” 程灵素在一旁见他装腔作势，忍不住要笑出声来，但见他大敌当前，身在重围，仍能漫不在意地言笑自若，却也不禁佩服他胆色。 那老者将信将疑，“哼”的一声，说道：“尊驾是马老镖头的师兄？年岁不像啊，我们也没听说马老镖头有什么师兄。”胡斐道：“我门中只管入门先后，不管年纪大小。马行空是什么大人物了，还用得着冒充他师兄么？” 先入师门为尊的规矩，武林中许多门派原都是有的。那老者向马春花望了一眼，察看她脸色，转头又问胡斐道：“没请敎尊驾的万儿。”胡斐抬头向天，说道：“我师弟叫'神拳无敌马行空'，区区在下便叫'歪拳有敌牛耕田'。”群盗一听，尽皆大笑。 这一句话明显是欺人的假话，那老者只因他空手夺了自己兵刃，才跟他对答了这一阵子话，否则早就出手了。他性子本就躁急，听到“牛耕田”这三宇，再也忍耐不住，虎吼一声，便向胡斐扑来。胡斐勒马闪开，雷震挡晃动，那老者手中倏地多了一物，举手看时，却不是雷震挡是什么？物归原主，他本该欢喜，然而这兵刃并非自己夺回，却是对方塞入自己手中，瞧也没瞧明白，莫名其妙地便得回了兵刃。 众盗齐声喝彩，叫道：“褚大哥好本事！”都道是他以空手人白刃的功夫抢回。 这姓褚的老者却自知满不是那回事，当真哑子吃黄连，说不出的苦。他微微一怔，问道：“尊驾插手管这档子事，到底为了什么？”言语中多了三分礼敬。 胡斐道：“老兄倒先说说，我这两个师侄好好一对夫妻，各位干吗要来打抱不平？”那老者说道：“多管闲事，于尊驾无益。我好言相劝，还是各行各路吧！”众盗均感耗异：“褚大哥平日多么霹雳火爆的性儿，今日居然这般沉得住气。” 胡斐笑道：“老兄这话再对也没有了，多管闲事无益。咱们大伙儿各行各路。请啊，请啊！”那老者退后三步，喝道：“你既不听良言，咱一门虽无冤无仇，在下迫得要领教高招！”说着雷震挡一举，护住了胸口。 胡斐道：“单打独斗，有什么味道？可是人太多了，乱糟糟的也不大方便。这样吧，我牛耕田一人，斗斗你们三位。”说着提旱烟管向那使长剑的一指，又向那老者的师弟一指。 那使剑的相貌英挺，神情傲慢，仰天笑道：“老小子好狂妄！”那姓褚的老者却知一对一跟胡斐动手，也真没把握，说道：“聂贤弟，上官师弟，他自己找死，咱三个便一齐陪他玩玩。”那姓聂的却不愿，说道：“这老小子怎能是褚大哥对手？要不，你师兄弟出马，让大伙儿瞻仰塞外'雷电交作'的绝技！”群盗轰然叫好。 胡斐摇头道：“年纪轻轻，便这般胆小，见不得大阵仗，可惜啊，可笑。” 那姓轰的长眉一挑，跃下马来，低声道：“褚大哥请让一步，小弟独自来教训教训这狂徒。”胡斐道：“你要教训我歪拳有敌牛耕田，那也成。可是咱哥儿俩话说在先，倘若我牛耕田输了，你要宰要杀，自然任凭处置。不过要是小兄弟你有一个失闪，那便如何？”那姓聂的冷笑道：“那是你痴心妄想。”胡斐笑道：“说不定老天爷保佑，小兄弟你竟有个三长两短、七荤八素，那便如何？”那姓聂的喝道：“谁跟你胡说八道？如我输了，也任凭你老小子处置便是。” 胡斐道：“任凭我老小子处置，那可不敢当。常言道得好：官难断家务事。便请各位宽宏大量，各人自扫门前雪，这个抱不，咱们就都别打了吧！好不好？”那姓聂的好不耐烦，长剑一摆，闪起一道寒光，喝道：“便是这样！” 胡斐目光横扫众盗，说道：“这位聂家小兄弟的话，作不作准？倘若他输了，你们各位大爷还打不打抱不平？” 程灵素听到这里，再也忍耐不住，终于嗤的一声笑了出来，心想他自己小小年纪，居然口口声声叫人家“小兄弟”，别人为了“鲜花插在牛粪上”，因而兴师动众地来打抱不平，此事已十分好笑，而他横加插手，又不许人家打抱不平，更属匪夷所思。 盗众素知那姓聂的剑术精奇，手中那口宝剑更削铁如泥，出手斗这乡下土老儿小胡子，定是有胜无败。众人此行原本嘻嘻哈哈，当作一件有趣玩闹，途中多生事端，正求之不得，纷纷说道：“你小胡子倘若赢了一招半式，咱们大伙儿拍屁股便走，这个抱不平是准定不打的了！”胡斐道：“就是这么办，这抱不平打不打得成，得瞧我小胡子的玩艺儿行不行。看招！”猛地举起旱烟管，往自己颈后衣领中一插，跃下马来，一个踉跄，险些摔倒。 众人听他一声喝：“看招！”又见他举起烟管，姿式俨然，都道他要以烟管当作兵器，打向对手，哪知他呼的一声，竟将烟管插入自己颈后领口，又见他下马的身法如此笨拙狼狈，旁观的十五个大盗之中，倒有十二三人笑了出来。 那姓聂的喝道：“你用什么兵刃，亮出来吧！”胡斐道：“黄牛耕田，得用犁耙！褚大寨主，你手里这件家伙倒像个犁耙，借来使使！”说着伸手出去，向那姓褚的老者借那雷震挡。 那老者见了他也真大为忌惮，倒退两步，怒道：“不借！谅你也不会使！”胡斐右手手掌朝天，始终摆着个乞讨的手势，又道：“借一借何妨？”突然伸臂搭出，那老者举挡欲架，不知怎的，手中忽空，那雷震挡竟又已到了对方手中。 那老者一惊非小，倒窜出一丈开外，脸上肌肉抽搐，如见鬼魅。 胡斐这路空手夺人兵刃的功夫，是他远祖飞天狐狸潜心钻研出来的绝技。当年飞天狐狸辅佐闯王李自成起兵打天下，凭着这手本领，不知夺过多少英雄好汉手中的兵器，当真来无影，去无踪，神出鬼没，诡秘无比，“飞天狐狸”那四字外号，一半也是由此而来。 那姓聂壮汉见胡斐手中有了兵器，提剑便往他后心刺来。胡斐斜身闪开，回了一挡，跟着自左侧抢上，雷震挡回掠横刺。 姓褚的老者只瞧得张大了口，合不拢来，但见胡斐所使的招数，竟是他师父亲授的“六十四路轰天雷震挡法”，一模一样，全无二致。他那姓上官的师弟更加诧异，明明听得胡斐连雷震挡的名字也不识，使出来的挡法，却和师哥全然相同。他二人哪想得到胡斐武功根底既好，人又聪明，瞧了那姓褚老者与徐铮打斗，早将招数记在心中。何况他所使招数虽然形似，其中用劲和变化的诸般法门，却绝不相干。 那姓聂的这时再也不敢轻慢，剑走轻灵，身手便捷。胡斐所使兵刃全不顺手，兼之有意眩人耳目，招招依着那姓褚老者的武功法门而使，更加多了一层拘束，但见敌人长剑施展开来，寒光闪闪，剑法实非凡俗。他舞挡拆架，心下寻思：“这十六人看来都是硬手，若一拥而上，我和二妹纵能脱身，徐铮一家四口必定糟糕，只有打败了这人，挤兑得他们不能动手，方是上策。”突见对手长剑下沉，暗叫不妙，待想如何变招，当的一声，雷震挡的一端已让利剑削去。 盗众眼见胡斐举止邪门，本来心中均自嘀咕，忽见那姓聂的得利，齐声欢呼。姓聂的精神一振，步步进逼。胡棄从褚姓老者那里学得的几招挡法，堪堪已经用完，心想再打下去马脚便露，见雷震挡给削去一端，心念一动'回挡斜砸，敌人长剑圈转，当的一声响，另一端也削去了。 胡斐叫道：“好，你毁了褚大爷的成名兵刃，太不够朋友啦！” 姓聂的一怔，心想这话倒也有理。突然当的又是一响，胡斐竟将半截挡柄砸到他剑锋上去，手中只余下尺来长的一小截，又听他叫道：“会使雷震挡，不使闪电锥，武功不免稀松平常。”说着将一小截挡柄递出，便如破甲锥般使了出来。 姓上官的大盗先听他说闪电锥，不由得一惊，但瞧了他几路锥法，横戳直刺，全不是那一回事，这才放心，大声笑道：“这算哪一门子的闪电锥？”胡斐道：“你学的不对，我的才对。”说着连刺急戳。其实他除单刀之外，什么兵器都不会使，这闪电锥只装模作样，摆个门面，所用作攻守者全在一只左手，近身而搏，左手勾打锁拿，当真是“一寸短，一寸险”。 那姓聂的手中虽有利剑，竟给他攻得连连倒退，猛地里“啊”的一声大叫，两人同时向后跃开。只见胡斐身前晶光闪耀，那口宝剑已到了他手里。 胡斐左膝跪倒，从大道旁抓起一块二十来斤的大石，右手持剑，剑尖抵地，剑身横斜，左手高举大石，笑道：“这口宝剑锋利得紧，我来砸它几下，瞧是砸得断，砸不断？”说着作势便要将大石往剑身上砸去。纵是天下最锋利的利剑，用大石砸在它平板的剑身上，也非一砸即断不可。那姓聂的对这口宝剑爱如性命，见了这般惨状，登时吓得脸色苍白，颤声叫道：“老兄请住手……在下认输便是了。” 胡斐道：“我瞧这口好剑，未必一砸便断。”说着又将大石一举。那姓聂的叫道：“尊驾倘若喜欢，拿去便是，别损伤了宝物。” 胡斐心想此人倒真是个情种，宁可剑入敌手也不愿剑毁，不再嬉笑，双手横捧宝剑，送到他身前，躬身说道：“小弟无礼，多有得罪。这里赔礼了！”神态谦恭。 那人大出意外，只道胡斐纵不毁剑，也必取去，要知如此利刃，当世罕见，有此宝剑，平添了一倍功夫，武林中人有谁不爱？何况他如此有礼，忙伸双手接过，躬身道：“多谢，多谢！”惶恐之中，掩不住满脸喜出望外之情。 胡斐知夜长梦多，不能再耽，翻身上马，弯腰向群盗拱手道：“承蒙高抬贵手，兄弟这里谢过。”这句话说得甚是诚恳。他向徐铮和马春花叫道：“走吧！”徐铮夫妇惊魂未定，赶着镖车，纵马便走。胡斐和程灵素在后押队，没再向后多望一眼，以免又生事端，耳听得群盗低声议论，却不纵马来追。
四人一口气驰出七八里，始终不见有盗伙追来。 徐铮勒住马头，：“尊驾出手相救，在下甚是感激，却何以要冒充在下的师伯？”胡斐听他语气中甚有怪责之意，微笑道：“顺口说说而已，兄弟不要见怪。”徐铮道：“尊驾粘上这两撇胡子，逢人便叫兄弟，也未免把天下人都瞧小了。”胡斐一愣，没想到这个莽撞之人，竟会瞧得出来。程灵素低声道：“定是他妻子瞧出了破绽。”胡斐略一点头，凝视马春花，心想她瞧出我胡子是假装，却不知是否认出了我是谁。 徐铮见了他这副神情，只道自己妻子生得美丽，胡斐途中紧紧跟随，早便不怀好意。他遭盗党戏弄侮辱了个够，已存必死之意，心神失常，放眼但觉人人是敌，大声喝道：“阁下武艺高强，你要杀我，这便上吧！”说着一弯腰，从趟子手的腰间拔出单刀，立马横刀，向着胡斐凛然傲视。 胡斐不明他心意，欲待解释，背后马蹄声急，一骑快马急奔而至。这匹马虽无袁紫衣那白马的神骏，却也是罕见的快马，片刻间便从镖队旁掠过。胡斐一瞥之下，认得马上乘客便是十六盗伙之一，心想这批江湖人物言明已罢手不再打抱不平，这些人武功不弱，自当言而有信，当已作罢，见徐铮神气不善，不必跟他多有纠缠，便欲乘机离去。 程灵素道：“咱们走吧，犯不着多管闲事，打抱不平。”岂知“多管闲事，打抱不平”这八字，正触动徐铮的忌讳，他眼中如要喷出火来，便要纵马上前相拼。马春花急叫：“师哥，你又犯糊涂啦！”徐铮一呆。 程灵素一提马缰，跟着伸马鞭在胡斐的坐骑臀上抽了一鞭，两匹马向北急驰而去。胡斐回头叫道：“马姑娘，可记得商家堡么？”马春花陡然间满脸通红，喃喃道：“商家堡，商家堡！我怎能不记得？”她心摇神驰，思念往事，但脑海中半分也没出现胡斐的影子。她是在想着另外一个人，那个华贵温雅的公子爷…… 胡程二人纵马奔出三四里，程灵素道：“大哥，打抱不平的又追上来啦。”胡斐也早已听到来路上马蹄杂沓，共有十余骑之多，说道：“当真动手，咱们寡不敌众，又不知这批人是什么来头。”程灵素道：“我瞧这些人未必便真是强盗。”胡斐点头道：“这中间古怪很多，一时可想不明白。” 这时一阵西风吹来，来路上传来一阵金刃相交之声。胡斐惊道：“给追上了。”程灵素道：“瞧那些人的举动，那位马姑娘决计无碍，他们也不会伤那徐爷的性命，不过苦头是免不了要吃的了。”胡斐竭力思索，皱眉道：“我可真不明白。” 忽听得马蹄声响，斜刺往西北角驰去，走的却不是大道，同时隐隐又传来一个女子的呼喝之声。 胡斐纵马上了道旁一座小丘，纵目遥望，只见两名盗伙各乘快马，手臂中都抱着一个孩子。马春花徒步追赶，头发散乱，似乎在喊：“还我孩子，还我孩子！”隔得远了，听不清楚。那两个盗党兵刃一举，忽地分向左右驰开。马春花登时呆了，两
At noon, we came to a big town.Hu Fei said: "Let's find a restaurant to eat, and then go buy two animals." Before the words were finished, I saw a middle-aged man in a satin robe with the appearance of a businessman coming forward, clasped his fists and said: "This is Mr. Hu Hu Fei has never seen this person before, and said politely: "Don't dare, my surname is Hu. May I ask your surname, are you really looking for Xiaoke?" The man smiled and said: "Exactly! The villain is ordered by the master, I've been waiting here for a long time, please use a bit rougher here." He said respectfully and led the two of them to a restaurant. The shop assistants in the restaurant didn't wait for the man's orders, and immediately set out the wine and food. It was said to be crude, but it was a very rich and delicate banquet.Both Hu Fei and Cheng Lingsu were amazed.Seeing the businessman sitting next to the prime minister, his manner was respectful, and he didn't mention who invited him, so the two stopped asking and ate something casually. After dinner and dinner, the businessman said, "Please rest here, both of you." After getting down to the restaurant, someone brought three big horses over.The three of them got on their horses, and the businessman led the way. They traveled five or six miles out of the town and arrived in front of a large villa.Hanging willows surround the house, with white walls and black doors, which is quite grand.There were six or seven servants standing in front of the door. When they saw the businessman, they all stood with their hands down. The businessman invited Hu Fei and Cheng Lingsu to the hall for tea, and the table was filled with fruit and snacks.Hu Fei thought to himself: "If I ask him why he received him like this, he will definitely not say it when he is not in time, and let him make a fuss, I will just adapt to the situation." Talking about the scenery along the way with Cheng Lingsu casually, ignoring that person .The businessman only respectfully accompanied him, and didn't intervene in the conversation between the two of them. After eating the snacks, the businessman said: "Master Hu and this girl are exhausted from the journey, please take a bath and change clothes in the inner room." Hu Fei thought to himself: "Hearing from his tone, it seems that he doesn't know Miss Cheng's background. Yao Wang's disciple poisoned himself, just asking for trouble." Followed the servant into the inner hall.Another servant woman came to wait on Cheng Lingsu and went to the back building to take a bath. The two rested for a while, and went to the hall again, you looked at me, I looked at you, and saw that the clothes and shoes on each other's bodies were completely new.Cheng Lingsu laughed in a low voice: "Brother Hu, are you celebrating the New Year? You are so neatly dressed." Hu Fei saw that her face was lightly covered with makeup and powder, and her delicate beauty was slightly enhanced. Then the skin is yellow and thin, dull, and he smiled and said: "You really look like a bride." Cheng Lingsu blushed, turned his head and ignored her.Hu Fei secretly regretted her slip of the tongue, but when she peeked at her, there was no anger on her face, only a naughty and shy light in her eyes. At this time, there was already plenty of wine and food in the hall. The businessman toasted three glasses of wine to Hu Fei, turned around and entered, and when he came back, he held a tray in his hand. There was a red cloth bundle on the tray. On the cover of his notebook, there are nine characters "Gongshang Hu Uncle Yinfei Congratulations".He held the book in both hands and presented it to Hu Fei, saying: "The villain is ordered by the master to present this small gift to Uncle Hu." Hu Fei refused to answer, and asked: "Who is the master? Why do you give me a small gift? I'm afraid I have identified the wrong person." The businessman said: "It can't be wrong! My superiors ordered not to mention his name, and Uncle Hu will naturally know in the future. "Hu Fei was so surprised, took the brocade book, opened it, and saw that the first page read: "415 acres of high-quality paddy fields and seven points", and the four to and locations of the fields are indicated in detail below, and it is also indicated Who is the tenant, how many stones and buckets of grain are paid for rent every year, and so on. Hu Fei was amazed and thought to himself: "What do I want these more than 400 mu of land for?" Turning to the second page, he saw: "There is one Zhuangzi, five entrances, twelve buildings and seventy-three bungalows." The following is a detailed note of Zhuangzi's four places in the southeast, north and west, as well as the name of each house, gardens, halls, wing rooms, as well as stoves, firewood houses, stables, etc., all written clearly in small characters.Scrolling down, it is the names of servants and servants in Zhuangzi, daily gold and silver, grain, livestock, cars and sedan chairs, furniture, clothing, etc.Hu Fei flipped through it, feeling very confused, and handed the book to Cheng Lingsu, saying: "Look." Cheng Lingsu looked at it, but couldn't figure out what the intention was, and said with a smile: "Mr. Hu, Gong Xi Fa Cai!" The businessman said: "I said that I was in a hurry and didn't prepare well. It's really not a respect." Said: "What is your surname?" The businessman said: "The villain's surname is Zhang. The land and real estate here are temporarily managed by the villain for Uncle Hu. Uncle Hu sees that there is something inappropriate, so he only needs to order. The villain can do it." No, Uncle Hu, please change people at any time. The deeds of the fields and houses are all here, please take care of Uncle Hu." He said and presented many papers.Hu Fei said: "You put it away. As the saying goes: You don't get paid without merit. I may not be able to accept such a generous gift." The businessman said: "Uncle Hu is too modest. My boss only said that the courtesy is too thin, and I really feel sorry for it. " Hu Fei has traveled all over the world since he was a child, and he has seen a lot of strange things, but he has never heard of such a sudden receipt of such a generous gift, and the person who gave the gift avoided seeing each other.Judging by the behavior of this surnamed Zhang, he definitely doesn't know martial arts, and there is no aura of a martial arts figure in his conversation. It seems that he is only following the orders of others, and he doesn't necessarily know the inside story. After dinner and dinner, Hu Fei and Cheng Lingsu went to the study to rest.But seeing the books on the four walls of the study room, there are several rows of thumping books and Chen Yaoqin racks, which is very elegant.A book boy brought tea and then retreated, leaving only two people in the room. Cheng Lingsu smiled and said: "Mr. Hu, I didn't expect you to become a master here." Hu Fei couldn't help laughing when he thought about it, and then frowned, and said, "I think the gift giver may be uneasy and kind, but I really can't guess this Who is it? What is the purpose of doing this?" Cheng Lingsu said: "Could it be Miao Renfeng?" Hu Fei shook his head and said: "Although this person has a deep hatred with me, I think he is upright and generous I will never do such sneaky things." Cheng Lingsu said: "You help him defeat the enemy, and ask me to heal his eyes, and he will give you a generous gift. Enmity, I'm afraid it's a good intention." Hu Fei said: "How can the surname Hu look at the gold and silver fields and forget the great enmity of his parents? No! Miao Renfeng will not underestimate me like this." Cheng Lingsu extended Tongue, said: "I underestimated you." The two discussed it for a long time, but they couldn't see any clues, so they decided to stay here overnight, at least to find out some clues.At night, Hu Fei slept peacefully in the big room in the back hall, but Cheng Lingsu's boudoir was located upstairs next to the garden.Hu Fei has never lived in such a magnificent house in his life, and it is even more incredible that this house belongs to him. He slept until the first watch, he pushed the window lightly and jumped out to the roof, leaned down and looked around, saw that the lights in the backyard to the west were still on, so he started to lighten his body and ran over.The eaves of the foot hook, an "upside-down bead curtain", looked in from the window crack, and saw Didi, surnamed Zhang, doing his own calculations, and another old family member was by his side.The person surnamed Zhang wrote a few accounts, and then said a few words to the family, talking about trivial matters such as salary and rice. After listening for a long time, Hu Fei was clueless, and was about to turn around when he heard a soft sound on the east roof.He turned over and stood up straight, holding the handle of the knife, and it was Cheng Lingsu who came over.She made a gesture, and Hu Fei jumped over.Cheng Lingsu whispered: "I've looked at the front and back, and there's no trace of it. Did you see anything?" Hu Fei shook his head, then looked in through the crack of the window, and saw that the man surnamed Zhang took out a pile of gold ingots from a large box, with sixty or seventy ingots.He wrapped the gold ingots in batches, then sat down and wrote a piece of lacquered red paper, and pasted them on the gold packets respectively. Hu Fei and Cheng Lingsu looked from a distance, and saw that the red notes were written: "Festival ceremony respectful presentation system The words "Master Army", "Respectfully present to Master Futai", "Respectfully present to Master Futai" and so on.Hu Fei said softly: "The person who gave the gift made friends with a high-ranking official has a lot of background. Let's take a closer look tomorrow and don't rush to expose him." Cheng Lingsu said: "Yes, if you ask, you won't get anything out of it." The two went back to their rooms respectively, and they were on guard this night, thinking over and over again, but they didn't sleep soundly. When he got up the next morning, a boy servant brought ginseng soup and bird's nest, followed by noodle dumplings and snacks, but Hu Fei also had a pot of champion red wine.Hu Fei thought to himself: "With Miss Cheng as a companion, it's not lonely to talk about it. Living here can be said to be carefree and happy." Seeing Cheng Lingsu put on a little makeup, although her appearance is not beautiful , but she also felt quite pretty, and suddenly felt a move in her heart: "If I marry her as my wife and live a peaceful life here, it will be a blessing I have never enjoyed in my life. Although Miss Yuan is much cuter than her, she is constantly Opposing me is obviously the party of Feng Tiannan, a big bully. Besides, first, she may not be willing to marry me. Second, even if she marries me, she will fight and make noise all day long, but Miss Cheng is right. I'm so good, it's much more interesting to be together. It's just that the owner here is not a good person when he makes friends with the government. Could it be that I, Hu Fei, covet wealth and comfort, and join forces with such people?" Suddenly, he changed his mind: "That bully surnamed Feng killed Zhong Asi's family. If I don't avenge Zhong's family, how can I stand between heaven and earth?" Thinking of this, the blood in his chest boiled, and he said to Cheng Lingsu: "Let's start now?" Cheng Lingsu didn't ask him where he was going, but replied, "Okay, let's start now." The two went back to the bedroom and changed into old clothes.Hu Fei said to the businessman surnamed Zhang: "Let's go!" After saying this, he walked away.The man surnamed Zhang was stunned, and said: "This... this... how come so fast? Hu Da... Hu Da, my villain is going to pay for the journey, please wait for a while." Wait for him to go in and carry it A large plate of gold and silver ingots came out, and Hu Cheng and his wife had already left.
The two of them took big strides and headed north. At noon, they arrived at a market. After inquiring, they found out that the place where they stayed last night was called Yitang Town.Hu Fei took out the silver and bought two horses, and the two rode side by side, talking about yesterday's miracles all the way. Cheng Lingsu said: "We eat and drink for nothing, live and sleep for nothing, and nothing is lost at all. In this way, the master doesn't seem to be doing anything wrong." Hu Fei said: "I always feel that this matter is weird and very strange. It's a bit evil." Cheng Lingsu said with a smile: "I hope that there will be more such evil things, and the yin and yang are constantly connected along the way. Hey, Mr. Hu, where are you going?" Hu Fei said: " I want to go to Beijing. You also go to have fun, okay?" Cheng Lingsu said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm just afraid of some inconvenience." Hu Feiqi said: "What's the inconvenience?" Cheng Lingsu said with a smile: "Hu When the uncle goes to visit the girl who gave the jade phoenix, do you still have to bring a servant girl with you?" Hu Fei said seriously: "No, I'm going to hunt down an enemy. Although this man's martial arts is not very high, he has many eyes and ears, cunning and wisdom. I hope Miss Cheng will help me." Ah Si's family, how they met in the temple to avoid the rain, how they escaped for him again, and so on. When Cheng Lingsu heard him talk about the encounter in the ancient temple and Feng Tiannan Heiye Rabbit's passing, his words were somewhat inaccurate, and asked: "The girl who gave the jade phoenix is also in the ancient temple, isn't she?" Hu Fei was taken aback, thinking that she is extremely smart, anyway, I have done nothing wrong, so I don't need to hide it from her, so I simply asked how to know Yuan Ziyi, how she won the position of head of the three factions, how she helped Fengtian South and other feelings, also said from the beginning to the end. Cheng Lingsu asked: "This Miss Yuan is a beauty, isn't she?" Hu Fei was startled slightly, blushing, and said: "It's pretty." Cheng Lingsu said: "It's much prettier than my ugly girl, yes no?" Hu Fei didn't expect her to ask so straightforwardly, so he couldn't help being quite embarrassed, and said: "Who said you are an ugly girl? Miss Yuan is a few years older than you, so she is naturally taller." Cheng Lingsu smiled and said: " When I was eight years old, I used my mother's mirror to play with. My sister said: "It's ugly, don't take a picture! You can still look ugly when you look at it." Humph! I ignored her, and guess what happened?" Hu Fei felt cold, and thought to himself: "Don't poison your sister to death." He said, "I don't know." Cheng Lingsu heard his voice trembling slightly, his face had a strange look, guessed his thoughts, and said: "Are you afraid that I will poison my sister to death? I was only eight years old at that time. Well, but the next day, the mirror at home was open It's gone." Hu Fei said, "That's strange." Cheng Lingsu said: "It's not surprising at all, I threw them all into the well." After a pause, he said, "But after I finished throwing the mirror, I immediately understood. She was born as an ugly girl, even without the mirror, she is still ugly." The surface of the water in the well is a round mirror, which clearly reflects my appearance. At that time, I really wanted to jump into the well and die." At this point, he suddenly raised his whip Twitching the horse's hindquarters wildly, galloping forward. Hu Fei followed with his horse, and the two rode for more than ten miles at a stretch before Cheng Lingsu reined in the horse's head.Hu Fei saw that her eyes were red, and she was crying just now. He didn't dare to look at her more, thinking: "Although you are not as beautiful as Miss Yuan, you are by no means an ugly girl. Besides, a person's morality is the first, and intelligence is the first." Second, whether you are born with good looks or not, why should you be sad? You are smart in everything, why can’t you just ignore it?” Looking at her thin silhouette, she felt pity in her heart, and said, “I have something to ask for. , I don’t know if you are willing to agree, I don’t know if I can climb high?” Cheng Lingsu trembled, and said in a trembling voice: "You...what did you say?" Hu Fei looked from behind her, saw that her ears and half of her cheeks were all red, and said, "You and I have no parents, I want to talk to you." You sworn brother and sister, do you agree?" Cheng Lingsu's cheeks turned pale in an instant, and he laughed loudly: "Okay, what's wrong with that? I really wish I had such a brother!" Hearing the sarcasm in her tone, Hu Fei couldn't help being quite ruthless, and said: "I am sincere." Cheng Lingsu said: "Am I lying?" With one knee bent, he knelt on the ground.Seeing that she was so straightforward, Hu Fei also knelt on the ground and bowed to the sky a few times.The two kowtowed to each other. Cheng Lingsu said: "Everyone says that we have to kowtow eight heads, one, two, three, four...seven, eight... well, I'm a younger sister, so I kowtow two more." Sure enough, two more kowtows, Only then did I stand up. Seeing her words and actions, Hu Fei suddenly became slightly mad, and he became a little unnatural, and said: "From now on, I will call you the second sister." Cheng Lingsu said: "Yes, you are the eldest brother. Why don't we set up Make an oath of alliance, what do you mean to share blessings and share hardships?" Hu Fei said: "The value of friendship lies in the alliance of the heart, it is the same whether you say it or not." Cheng Lingsu said: "Ah, so it is." Said and jumped on the horseback, this From day to dusk, I never spoke to Hu Fei again.
The two of them arrived in Anlu in the evening, and as soon as they galloped into the entrance of the market, a waiter came up to hold the horse's head and said, "This is Uncle Hu, right? Please come to the shop to rest your horse." Hu Feiqi said, "Why do you Do you know my surname Hu?" The waiter in the shop smiled and said, "I have been waiting here for a long time." He led the way and let the two of them enter an inn with a spacious building.The housewife only kept one room, so she opened another room, and there was no need to order tea, wine and rice, and the price of the water would be sent up.Hu Fei asked the waiter in the shop who told him to wait like this.The waiter in the shop smiled and said: "Uncle Hu in Yitang Town, who doesn't know?" When he checked out the next morning, the shopkeeper bowed again and again, saying that he had already paid, and he was only willing to accept a few coins from Hu Fei to the shop partner as a reward. It was like this for several days.Although Hu Fei and Cheng Lingsu are both very clever, but limited by their age and experience, they can't see through what kind of quack trick this is. After leaving on the fourth day, Cheng Lingsu said: "Brother, I have been paying attention for the past few days. If no one follows us, someone must have told you about your appearance in the future and ordered someone to wait for you. Let's disguise yourself, and then come from the side. Take a look, maybe you can find out the truth." Hu Fei said happily: "This plan is great." The two bought two sets of clothes, shoes and hats in the market, went to the outskirts, and changed their clothes in a deserted forest.Cheng Lingsu cut his hair into a false beard, stuck it on Hu Fei's lips, and dressed him up as a middle-aged man in his forties. He put on a long gown and a small cap, and turned into a thin and small young man.The two looked at each other and laughed at each other.When they arrived at the front market, the two even exchanged their mounts for donkeys.Hu Fei put the burden on others, and bought a dry pipe, took a few puffs, and puffed out the smoke. With this look, no matter how good the eyesight is, no one else will recognize him. When I arrived in Guangshui this evening, I saw two store associates standing by the road, stretching their necks and looking around. Hu Fei knew that they were waiting for him, so he couldn't help laughing secretly, and went to the store. The shopkeeper saw that the two looked shabby, and greeted them lazily Yes, they were given two Anhui-style rooms.The two shop assistants waited until it was dark, and then returned to the shop listlessly.Hu Fei called a person in and chatted nonsense with him, trying to get some news from him.Just talking a few gossips, suddenly there was a sound of horseshoes on the road, and the sound was more than one time.The shop assistant said happily, "Uncle Hu is here." He rushed out of the shop. Hu Fei thought in his heart: "Uncle Hu is here early, I told you what happened, you don't know yet." He went to the lobby to watch the excitement.Only the noise of people was heard, and the innkeeper said loudly: "It's not Uncle Hu, it's the high-ranking official of the Escort Bureau." Then a man walked in, holding a dart flag in his hand, and stuck it in the bamboo tube outside the inn. When Hu Fei looked at the dart flag, he was stunned. The dart flag had a yellow background with black lines, embroidered with a horse with wings on its back. He had seen such a dart flag in the merchant fort back then, and recognized it as the flag of the Pegasus Escort Bureau. He thought to himself that the owner of the bodyguard, Baisheng Shenquan Ma Xingkong, had already been burned to death in Shangshangbao, so he didn't know who would be the head of the bodyguard right now.The escort flag was old and faded, it hadn't been changed for many years, the hand of that trip was also old and decrepit, it seems that the Pegasus Escort Bureau has not seen much prosperity in recent years. The head of the bodyguard who followed in was a man of high spirits with numerous small scars on his face. Hu Fei recognized him as Ma Xingkong's disciple Xu Zheng.Behind him is a young woman dressed up, holding a boy in each hand, it is Ma Chunhua, Ma Xingkong's daughter.Hu Fei and her have not seen each other for several years. Although she is still beautiful, she can't hide the weather and haggard on her face.The two boys are about four years old, but they are snow-white and cute. They look exactly the same, and they are obviously a pair of twin brothers.Only a boy said: "Mom, I'm hungry, I want some noodles." Ma Chunhua lowered his head and said, "Okay, let's eat together after Dad washes his face." Hu Fei thought to himself: "It turns out that his brothers and sisters are married and have two children." When he was in Shangshangbao, the young man first met men and women, and he couldn't help but feel proud when he saw Ma Chunhua's beautiful appearance and plump figure Infatuated with love, but this girl only appeared occasionally in the spring dream. Later, she was captured by the old lady Shang and beaten with a whip by Shang Baozhen. Ma Chunhua tried her best to plead for mercy. heart.We met in a foreign land today, if he didn't want to be recognized by others, he would have gone up to recognize Daogu. The hostess who opened the inn never dared to offend the Escort Bureau, although seeing that the Pegasus Escort Bureau has only one dart car, and everyone's clothes are old and worn, it is expected that there is not much money, the shopkeeper still stepped forward to receive him hospitablely. When Xu Zheng heard that there was no upper room, he frowned, and was about to speak, when the trainer turned his hand from the inside and said, "Aren't the two upper rooms facing south vacant? Why are they gone?" The innkeeper smiled and said, "Forgive me, Daguan. The two rooms were booked the day before yesterday, and the money has been paid, and they are agreed to be used tonight." Xu Zheng's luck has been bad in recent years, and he often misses when he walks the darts. He felt wronged, and after hearing this, he stretched out his hand and slapped the ledger hard, and he was about to explode.Ma Chunhua hurriedly tugged at his sleeves, and said, "Forget it, just stay here for a night, that's it." Xu Zheng really listened to his wife, gave the shopkeeper a hard look, and walked into the west-facing small room. house.Ma Chunhua pulled the two children, and said in a low voice: "The fee for this single dart is so meager, if you don't deal with it, you will lose money. If you don't live in a house, it's better to save some money." Xu Zheng said: "That's not bad, but I just look at these guys who look down on people and get angry." After Ma Xingkong's death, Xu Zheng and Ma Chunhua got married soon, and they took over the Pegasus Escort.Xu Zheng's martial arts prestige is certainly not as good as his master's, but he is reckless and straightforward by nature, and he can't make use of his friends in the arena. In three or four years, he ran into trouble several times, and it was only thanks to Ma Chunhua's efforts to make up for it every time. past.As a result, the Pegasus Escort's business plummeted, and big deals never came to the door.This time, there was a salt merchant who wanted to send a sum of money to Baoding Mansion in Zhili, Beizhili.Xu Zheng and his wife had always walked darts together, Ma Chunhua felt that she had no reliable relatives at home, so she couldn't worry about the child, so she took them out together, for the mere 9,000 taels of silver, there would be no risk on the road. Hu Fei glanced at the escort car, walked to Cheng Lingsu's room, and said, "Second sister, this escort couple is my old acquaintance." He briefly talked about how he met them in the merchant fort. Cheng Lingsu said: "Do you recognize them?" Hu Fei said: "When Ming'er becomes enlightened and goes to a remote and uninhabited place, then we will come forward to recognize each other." Cheng Lingsu said with a smile: "A remote and uninhabited place? Ah, That's amazing! They don't think you, a mustache, are a strong man in robbery." Hu Fei smiled and said: "This dart is not worth Hu Dazhai's initiative. Master Cheng Erzhai, what do you think?" Cheng Lingsu laughed : "Look at the head of the bodyguard who has no money on him, he is very poor. You and my brother are also thieves, so you can't help but pat the horse and give him a few keys of gold." Hu Fei laughed.He did have the intention of donating money, but he just wanted to figure out a proper way, and when donating money, he must not lose respect, so as not to hurt others' face. The two were blinded by the night, and Hu Fei went back to his room to go to bed. He slept until midnight, when he suddenly heard a light click on the roof.Although he was asleep, he was startled immediately, turned over and sat up, stepped down the kang, and heard that there were two people in the room.The two clapped their hands lightly and jumped down from the roof.Hu Fei stood at the window, thinking: "Where are these two people coming from, they are so bold, acting like no one else?" Stretching out his fingers to poke through the window paper, looking out, he saw that both of them were wearing long gowns, and they were not holding weapons in their hands. A door to the upper room, he walked in, followed the flash of the fire, and lit the lamp. Hu Fei thought to himself: "It turns out that these two people know the owner of the shop, and they are not evil people." Back on the kang, he suddenly heard the sound of kicking and tapping the slippers, and the waiter walked to the door of the upper room and shouted: "Who is it? Why? In the middle of the night, you didn't go through the door, just jumped down like this?" He yelled, walked into the upper room, and just stepped in, he yelled "Ah yo", followed by a bang, and "" My mother, I've killed someone" cried, and it turned out that someone threw him out and fell into the yard firmly. With such a noise, everyone in the store woke up.One of the two long-clothed men stood at the door of the upper room and said loudly: "We are ordered by the master of the Jigong Mountain King to step on the plate and rob the dart money tonight. We are looking for the head of the Pegasus Escort Bureau Xu. People, don't do your own business, go back to your room and sleep peacefully, so as not to accidentally injure someone's life." Xu Zheng and Ma Chunhua had woken up a long time ago, and they couldn't help being shocked and angry when they heard him screaming like this, thinking that no matter how powerful a robber he is, he must not bully him into the inn, this Guangshui is not a small place, such a Lawless, but I've never seen it.Xu Zheng said loudly: "The one surnamed Xu is here, and the two good friends will stay forever." The man laughed loudly and said: "You give the uncle nine thousand taels of silver, a dart flag, and both hands, that's all, ask the uncle what you want? Let's see you later." As they said that, they clapped their hands twice, and the two flew on their bodies. Room. Xu Zheng raised his right hand, and two steel darts shot upwards.The man behind Huifeng caught it, and then threw it downwards. With a bang, sparks splashed in all directions and landed a foot in front of Xu Zheng. Both darts were nailed into the bluestone slab in Wanzizhong. Xu Zheng absolutely cannot.All I could hear were the two laughing on the roof, followed by the sound of horseshoes, and headed north. The store clerk and the resident waited for the two thugs to go away, and then they talked about it, some said to report to the police quickly, some advised Xu Zheng to take a detour, some said it was better to go home, There is no need to protect this trip. Xu Zheng kept silent, pulled out two steel darts, and returned to the room.The couple discussed in low voices, seeing that these two people have extraordinary martial arts, they must be famous figures in the martial arts world, how could they take a fancy to this small cymbal?Although he knew that the future was not good, but when a dart went out, the rule was that there was no retreat, and he must not turn back, otherwise the escort agency would be considered as having smashed the signboard.Xu Zheng said angrily: "My friends in the underworld are bullying people more and more. Will we still be able to eat this meal in the future? Today I will risk my life to avoid it, and I can't back down. These two children..." Ma Chunhua said "We have no grievances or enmities with the underworld. At most, it's just a matter of money. It's not a matter of life. It doesn't matter if you bring children." But in her heart, she has long regretted it. These two young children accompanied him to take the risk of the rivers and lakes. Hu Fei and Cheng Lingsu saw everything clearly through the window, and secretly wondered, feeling that there were many unexplainable things along the way. After disguised, they avoided the reception for no reason, but encountered the Pegasus Escort again. miracle.
In the early morning of the next day, the escort cars of the Pegasus Escort set off together, and Hu Fei and Cheng Lingsu followed closely behind.Seeing that the two of them followed closely, Xu Zheng expected them to be gangsters, and would look back and glare at them from time to time.Hu Cheng and the two just pretended not to see each other.At noon, Hu Cheng and the Pegasus Escort also ate beef noodle cakes with Pegasus Escort. In the evening, about 30 miles away from Wushengguan, only the sound of horseshoes was heard, and two horses galloped towards each other.Immediately, the passengers wore gray cloth robes, passed by the escort car, and went straight to Hu Cheng and the two, and then drove along with the disturbance, laughing and hearing the voices were the two thugs from last night. Hu Fei said: "Wait until they catch up from behind, and within a few miles, they will start." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes in front, and two more horses passed by. Vigorous, obviously a figure in the world.Hu Fei said: "Strange, strange!" After less than a mile of travel, two more horses rushed towards him, followed by two more horses. When Xu Zheng saw this powerful faction, he was overwhelmed for a long time, instead of being angry, he smiled, and said: "Junior Sister, Master once said that the first-class big stronghold in the green forest is the first-class dart that mobilizes the army to rob everyone." I got six masters to look for the plate, and today I sent eight masters in a row, followed by two lingering ghosts. I'm afraid our bodyguards are not nine thousand taels of silver, but nine million, nine thousand taels. Ten thousand taels!" Ma Chunhua couldn't figure out why the other party came to deal with this insignificant dart with so much fanfare, the more he didn't understand, the more worried he became, and said to Xu Zheng and Qu Zi: "The situation is not right later, it's important that we take the children and escape The nine thousand taels of silver is not a big amount, and I can still afford it." Xu Zheng said boldly, "Master's first name, is it just given to me, a disciple who is not good enough?" Ma Chunhua said sadly. : "It's for the sake of the children. From now on, the two of us will plow the fields and work in agriculture, and eat a bitter meal, so we won't do such desperate activities with knives." Speaking of this, he suddenly heard the sound of hooves galloping behind him, and when he looked back, the dust was flying, and the eight horses rushed up from behind.With a long cry, a loud arrow flew over his head, followed by eight horsemen rushing towards him. Hu Fei said: "Look at the momentum, these people are probably coming for us." Cheng Lingsu nodded and said: "The field is back to the farmer!" Hu Fei said: "Our transformation will not work after all, but we were recognized." At this time, the front eight vehicles and the rear eight vehicles all reined in and did not move, sandwiching the Escort Bureau and his party and Hu Cheng in the middle. Xu Zheng got off his horse, flashed his single saber, clasped his fists and said, "I'm Xu..." After saying only three words, an old man in the eight vehicles in front leaped off his horse, leaped forward, holding a strange-shaped weapon, and without saying a word, he Throw it at Xu Zheng's face. Hu Fei and Cheng Lingsu reined in their horses, and it was strange to see the weapon in the old man's hand. There was a horizontal bar in front, curved like a snake, and behind the horizontal bar was a T-shaped handshake. The two ends of the horizontal bar were sharp, like a deformed crane. The appearance of a hoe.Hu Fei didn't know this thing, so he asked Cheng Lingyu, "What is that?" Before Cheng Lingsu could answer, a bandit behind him smiled and said, "Old boy, I'll teach you to be a good boy. This is called Lei Mian Biao." Cheng Lingsu interjected, "If you don't use Lei Zhen Biao with the Lightning Cone, your martial arts will be normal." The robber stayed silent for a moment, looked at Cheng Lingsu sideways, and couldn't help but be amazed that the skinny boy knew about lightning cones.It turned out that the old man was his senior brother, and the bandit himself used Lightning Wei.The masters of the two of them use the lightning awl with the right hand and the thunder block with the left hand, one attack and one defense, the changes are extremely wonderful.The two weapons, one long and the other short, complement each other when the two hands are used together. Although they are very powerful, they are also very difficult.His two senior brothers each acquired the skills of one hand of their master, but they still couldn't learn to use two weapons at the same time.The two of them have been outside the Great Wall since they were young, and they have not been in the Central Plains for a long time, and his lightning awl was hidden in his sleeve, and he did not take it out.He didn't know that Cheng Lingsu's master, Master Wang Wu'an, the poisonous hand medicine master, had a wide range of knowledge and knowledge. He usually told this favorite little disciple about various schools and schools of martial arts. Therefore, although she had never seen Lei Zhenbu, she knew him as soon as she heard his name. There is a lightning cone. 但见那老者将兵刃使得轰轰发发，果有雷震之威。徐铮单刀上的功夫虽也不弱，但让雷震挡裹住了，渐渐施展不开。 只听得前后十五名大盗你一言，我一语，出言讥嘲：“什么飞马镖局？当年马老镖头走镖，才称得上'飞马'二字，到了姓徐的手里，早该改称狗爬镖局啦！”“这小子学了两手三脚猫，不在家里抱娃娃，却到外面来丢人现世。”“喂，姓徐的，快跪下来磕三个响头，我们大哥便饶了你狗命。”“走镖走得这么寒蠢，连九千两银子也保，不如买块豆腐来自己撞死了吧！”“神拳无敌马老镖头当年赫赫威名，武林中无人不服，这脓包小子真对不住师父。”“我瞧他夫人比他强上十倍，真是武林中女侠的身份，当真是一朵鲜花插在牛粪上！好叫人瞧着生气。” 胡斐听了各人言语，心想这群大盗对徐铮的底细摸得甚为清楚，不但知道他一共保了多少镖银，还知他师承来历，说话之中对徐铮固极尽尖酸刻薄，对马春花和她过世的父亲却毫无得罪之处，甚至还显得颇为尊敬。胡斐虽不识雷震挡，但那老者功力不弱，出手既狠且准，却一眼便知，不禁暗自奇怪：“这老头儿虽不能说是江湖上的一流好手，但如此武功，必是个颇有身份的成名人物。瞧各人作为，决非冲着这区区九千两银子而来。若是田归农派人来跟我为难，却又何必费这么大的劲儿去对付徐铮？” 马春花双手抱着两个儿子，在旁瞧得焦急万分，她早知丈夫不是人家对手，然自己上前相助，只不过多引一个敌人下场，于事丝毫无补，两个儿子没人照料，势必落入盗众手里。眼睁睁地瞧着丈夫越来越不济，突见那老者将蛇形兵器往前疾送，快速异常地圈转回拉，徐铮单刀脱手，飞上半天，她“啊”的一声叫了出来。 那老者左足横扫，徐铮急跃避过。单刀从半空落将下来，盗众中一人举起长剑，往上一撩，一柄钢刀登时断为两截。那盗伙身手好快，长剑跟着右劈左削，又将尚未落地的两截断刀斩成四截。他手中所持的固是极锋利的宝剑，而出手之迅捷，更使人目为之眩。餐、群盗齐声喝彩。 瞧这情势，哪里是拦路劫镖，实是对徐铮存心戏弄！单是这手持长剑的大盗一人，打败徐铮夫妇便绰绰有余，何况同伙共有一十六人，看来个个都是好手，人人笑傲自若，便如十六头灵猫围住了一只小鼠，要戏耍个够，才分而吞噬。 徐铮红了双眼，双臂挥舞，招招是拼命的拳式，但那老者雷震挡的铁柄长逾四尺，徐铮如何欺得近身去？数招之间，只听得嗤的一声响，雷震挡的尖端划破了徐铮裤脚，大腿上鲜血长流，接着又是一声，徐铮左臀中挡。那老者抬起右腿，将他踢翻在地，左脚踏住，冷笑道：“我也不要你性命，只要废了你一对招子，罚你不生眼睛，太也糊涂。”徐铮又害怕，又愤怒，胸口气为之塞，说不出话来。 马春花叫道：“众位朋友，你们要镖银，拿去便是。我们跟各位往日无冤，近日无仇，何必赶尽杀绝？”那使剑的大盗笑道：“马姑娘，你是好人，不用多管闲事。” 马春花道：“什么多管闲事？他是我丈夫啊。”使雷震挡的老者道：“我们就是瞧着他太也不配，委曲了才貌双全的马姑娘，这才千里迢迢地赶来打这个抱不平。这件事非管不可！”胡斐和程灵素越听越奇怪，均想：“这批大盗居然来管人家夫妻的家务事，还说什么打抱不平，当真好笑。”两人对望一眼，目光中均含笑意。 便在此时，那老者举起雷震挡，挡尖对准徐铮右眼，戳了下去。马春花大叫一声，抢上相救，呼的一响，马上一个盗伙手中花枪从空刺下，将她拦住。两个小孩齐叫：“爸爸！”向徐铮身边奔表。 突然间灰影晃动，那老者手腕酸麻，急忙翻挡迎敌，手里骞然间轻了，原来手中兵刃竟已不知去向，惊怒中抬起头来，只见那灰影跃上马背，自己的独门兵刃雷震挡却已给他拿在手中舞弄，白光闪闪，转成一个圆圈。 如此倏来倏去，一瞬之间下马上马，空手夺了他雷震挡的，正是胡斐！ 众盗相顾骇然，顷刻间寂静无声，竟没一人说话，人人均为眼前之事惊得呆了。过了半晌，各人才纷纷呼喝，举刀挺杖，奔向胡斐。 胡斐大声叫道：“是线上的合字儿吗？风紧，扯呼，老窑里来了花门的，三刀兔儿爷换着走，咱们胡子上开洞，财神菩萨上山！”群盗又是一怔，听他说的黑话不像黑话，不知瞎扯些什么。 那雷震挡遭夺的老者怒道：“朋友，你是哪一路的，来搅这趟浑水干吗？”胡斐道：“兄弟专做没本钱买卖，好容易跟上了飞马镖局的九千两银子，没想到半路里杀出来十六位程咬金。各位要分一份，这不叫人心疼么？”那老者冷笑道：“哼，朋友别装蒜啦，趁早留下个万儿来是正经。” 徐铮于千钧一发之际逃得了性命，搂住了两个孩子。马春花站在他身旁，睁着一双大眼盯住胡斐，一时之间还不明白眼前到底发生了何事。她只道胡斐和程灵素也必都是盗伙一路，哪知他却和那老者争了起来。 只见胡斐伸手一抹上唇的小胡子，咬着烟袋，说道：“好，我跟老兄实说了吧。神拳无敌马行空是我师弟，师侄的事儿，老人家不能不管。” 胡斐此语一出，马春花吃了一惊，心想：“哪里出来了这样一个师伯？我从没听爹爹说过，而且这人年纪比爹爹轻得多，哪能是师伯？” 程灵素在一旁见他装腔作势，忍不住要笑出声来，但见他大敌当前，身在重围，仍能漫不在意地言笑自若，却也不禁佩服他胆色。 那老者将信将疑，“哼”的一声，说道：“尊驾是马老镖头的师兄？年岁不像啊，我们也没听说马老镖头有什么师兄。”胡斐道：“我门中只管入门先后，不管年纪大小。马行空是什么大人物了，还用得着冒充他师兄么？” 先入师门为尊的规矩，武林中许多门派原都是有的。那老者向马春花望了一眼，察看她脸色，转头又问胡斐道：“没请敎尊驾的万儿。”胡斐抬头向天，说道：“我师弟叫'神拳无敌马行空'，区区在下便叫'歪拳有敌牛耕田'。”群盗一听，尽皆大笑。 这一句话明显是欺人的假话，那老者只因他空手夺了自己兵刃，才跟他对答了这一阵子话，否则早就出手了。他性子本就躁急，听到“牛耕田”这三宇，再也忍耐不住，虎吼一声，便向胡斐扑来。胡斐勒马闪开，雷震挡晃动，那老者手中倏地多了一物，举手看时，却不是雷震挡是什么？物归原主，他本该欢喜，然而这兵刃并非自己夺回，却是对方塞入自己手中，瞧也没瞧明白，莫名其妙地便得回了兵刃。 众盗齐声喝彩，叫道：“褚大哥好本事！”都道是他以空手人白刃的功夫抢回。 这姓褚的老者却自知满不是那回事，当真哑子吃黄连，说不出的苦。他微微一怔，问道：“尊驾插手管这档子事，到底为了什么？”言语中多了三分礼敬。 胡斐道：“老兄倒先说说，我这两个师侄好好一对夫妻，各位干吗要来打抱不平？”那老者说道：“多管闲事，于尊驾无益。我好言相劝，还是各行各路吧！”众盗均感耗异：“褚大哥平日多么霹雳火爆的性儿，今日居然这般沉得住气。” 胡斐笑道：“老兄这话再对也没有了，多管闲事无益。咱们大伙儿各行各路。请啊，请啊！”那老者退后三步，喝道：“你既不听良言，咱一门虽无冤无仇，在下迫得要领教高招！”说着雷震挡一举，护住了胸口。 胡斐道：“单打独斗，有什么味道？可是人太多了，乱糟糟的也不大方便。这样吧，我牛耕田一人，斗斗你们三位。”说着提旱烟管向那使长剑的一指，又向那老者的师弟一指。 那使剑的相貌英挺，神情傲慢，仰天笑道：“老小子好狂妄！”那姓褚的老者却知一对一跟胡斐动手，也真没把握，说道：“聂贤弟，上官师弟，他自己找死，咱三个便一齐陪他玩玩。”那姓聂的却不愿，说道：“这老小子怎能是褚大哥对手？要不，你师兄弟出马，让大伙儿瞻仰塞外'雷电交作'的绝技！”群盗轰然叫好。 胡斐摇头道：“年纪轻轻，便这般胆小，见不得大阵仗，可惜啊，可笑。” 那姓轰的长眉一挑，跃下马来，低声道：“褚大哥请让一步，小弟独自来教训教训这狂徒。”胡斐道：“你要教训我歪拳有敌牛耕田，那也成。可是咱哥儿俩话说在先，倘若我牛耕田输了，你要宰要杀，自然任凭处置。不过要是小兄弟你有一个失闪，那便如何？”那姓聂的冷笑道：“那是你痴心妄想。”胡斐笑道：“说不定老天爷保佑，小兄弟你竟有个三长两短、七荤八素，那便如何？”那姓聂的喝道：“谁跟你胡说八道？如我输了，也任凭你老小子处置便是。” 胡斐道：“任凭我老小子处置，那可不敢当。常言道得好：官难断家务事。便请各位宽宏大量，各人自扫门前雪，这个抱不，咱们就都别打了吧！好不好？”那姓聂的好不耐烦，长剑一摆，闪起一道寒光，喝道：“便是这样！” 胡斐目光横扫众盗，说道：“这位聂家小兄弟的话，作不作准？倘若他输了，你们各位大爷还打不打抱不平？” 程灵素听到这里，再也忍耐不住，终于嗤的一声笑了出来，心想他自己小小年纪，居然口口声声叫人家“小兄弟”，别人为了“鲜花插在牛粪上”，因而兴师动众地来打抱不平，此事已十分好笑，而他横加插手，又不许人家打抱不平，更属匪夷所思。 盗众素知那姓聂的剑术精奇，手中那口宝剑更削铁如泥，出手斗这乡下土老儿小胡子，定是有胜无败。众人此行原本嘻嘻哈哈，当作一件有趣玩闹，途中多生事端，正求之不得，纷纷说道：“你小胡子倘若赢了一招半式，咱们大伙儿拍屁股便走，这个抱不平是准定不打的了！”胡斐道：“就是这么办，这抱不平打不打得成，得瞧我小胡子的玩艺儿行不行。看招！”猛地举起旱烟管，往自己颈后衣领中一插，跃下马来，一个踉跄，险些摔倒。 众人听他一声喝：“看招！”又见他举起烟管，姿式俨然，都道他要以烟管当作兵器，打向对手，哪知他呼的一声，竟将烟管插入自己颈后领口，又见他下马的身法如此笨拙狼狈，旁观的十五个大盗之中，倒有十二三人笑了出来。 那姓聂的喝道：“你用什么兵刃，亮出来吧！”胡斐道：“黄牛耕田，得用犁耙！褚大寨主，你手里这件家伙倒像个犁耙，借来使使！”说着伸手出去，向那姓褚的老者借那雷震挡。 那老者见了他也真大为忌惮，倒退两步，怒道：“不借！谅你也不会使！”胡斐右手手掌朝天，始终摆着个乞讨的手势，又道：“借一借何妨？”突然伸臂搭出，那老者举挡欲架，不知怎的，手中忽空，那雷震挡竟又已到了对方手中。 那老者一惊非小，倒窜出一丈开外，脸上肌肉抽搐，如见鬼魅。 胡斐这路空手夺人兵刃的功夫，是他远祖飞天狐狸潜心钻研出来的绝技。当年飞天狐狸辅佐闯王李自成起兵打天下，凭着这手本领，不知夺过多少英雄好汉手中的兵器，当真来无影，去无踪，神出鬼没，诡秘无比，“飞天狐狸”那四字外号，一半也是由此而来。 那姓聂壮汉见胡斐手中有了兵器，提剑便往他后心刺来。胡斐斜身闪开，回了一挡，跟着自左侧抢上，雷震挡回掠横刺。 姓褚的老者只瞧得张大了口，合不拢来，但见胡斐所使的招数，竟是他师父亲授的“六十四路轰天雷震挡法”，一模一样，全无二致。他那姓上官的师弟更加诧异，明明听得胡斐连雷震挡的名字也不识，使出来的挡法，却和师哥全然相同。他二人哪想得到胡斐武功根底既好，人又聪明，瞧了那姓褚老者与徐铮打斗，早将招数记在心中。何况他所使招数虽然形似，其中用劲和变化的诸般法门，却绝不相干。 那姓聂的这时再也不敢轻慢，剑走轻灵，身手便捷。胡斐所使兵刃全不顺手，兼之有意眩人耳目，招招依着那姓褚老者的武功法门而使，更加多了一层拘束，但见敌人长剑施展开来，寒光闪闪，剑法实非凡俗。他舞挡拆架，心下寻思：“这十六人看来都是硬手，若一拥而上，我和二妹纵能脱身，徐铮一家四口必定糟糕，只有打败了这人，挤兑得他们不能动手，方是上策。”突见对手长剑下沉，暗叫不妙，待想如何变招，当的一声，雷震挡的一端已让利剑削去。 盗众眼见胡斐举止邪门，本来心中均自嘀咕，忽见那姓聂的得利，齐声欢呼。姓聂的精神一振，步步进逼。胡棄从褚姓老者那里学得的几招挡法，堪堪已经用完，心想再打下去马脚便露，见雷震挡给削去一端，心念一动'回挡斜砸，敌人长剑圈转，当的一声响，另一端也削去了。 胡斐叫道：“好，你毁了褚大爷的成名兵刃，太不够朋友啦！” 姓聂的一怔，心想这话倒也有理。突然当的又是一响，胡斐竟将半截挡柄砸到他剑锋上去，手中只余下尺来长的一小截，又听他叫道：“会使雷震挡，不使闪电锥，武功不免稀松平常。”说着将一小截挡柄递出，便如破甲锥般使了出来。 姓上官的大盗先听他说闪电锥，不由得一惊，但瞧了他几路锥法，横戳直刺，全不是那一回事，这才放心，大声笑道：“这算哪一门子的闪电锥？”胡斐道：“你学的不对，我的才对。”说着连刺急戳。其实他除单刀之外，什么兵器都不会使，这闪电锥只装模作样，摆个门面，所用作攻守者全在一只左手，近身而搏，左手勾打锁拿，当真是“一寸短，一寸险”。 那姓聂的手中虽有利剑，竟给他攻得连连倒退，猛地里“啊”的一声大叫，两人同时向后跃开。只见胡斐身前晶光闪耀，那口宝剑已到了他手里。 胡斐左膝跪倒，从大道旁抓起一块二十来斤的大石，右手持剑，剑尖抵地，剑身横斜，左手高举大石，笑道：“这口宝剑锋利得紧，我来砸它几下，瞧是砸得断，砸不断？”说着作势便要将大石往剑身上砸去。纵是天下最锋利的利剑，用大石砸在它平板的剑身上，也非一砸即断不可。那姓聂的对这口宝剑爱如性命，见了这般惨状，登时吓得脸色苍白，颤声叫道：“老兄请住手……在下认输便是了。” 胡斐道：“我瞧这口好剑，未必一砸便断。”说着又将大石一举。那姓聂的叫道：“尊驾倘若喜欢，拿去便是，别损伤了宝物。” 胡斐心想此人倒真是个情种，宁可剑入敌手也不愿剑毁，不再嬉笑，双手横捧宝剑，送到他身前，躬身说道：“小弟无礼，多有得罪。这里赔礼了！”神态谦恭。 那人大出意外，只道胡斐纵不毁剑，也必取去，要知如此利刃，当世罕见，有此宝剑，平添了一倍功夫，武林中人有谁不爱？何况他如此有礼，忙伸双手接过，躬身道：“多谢，多谢！”惶恐之中，掩不住满脸喜出望外之情。 胡斐知夜长梦多，不能再耽，翻身上马，弯腰向群盗拱手道：“承蒙高抬贵手，兄弟这里谢过。”这句话说得甚是诚恳。他向徐铮和马春花叫道：“走吧！”徐铮夫妇惊魂未定，赶着镖车，纵马便走。胡斐和程灵素在后押队，没再向后多望一眼，以免又生事端，耳听得群盗低声议论，却不纵马来追。
四人一口气驰出七八里，始终不见有盗伙追来。 徐铮勒住马头，：“尊驾出手相救，在下甚是感激，却何以要冒充在下的师伯？”胡斐听他语气中甚有怪责之意，微笑道：“顺口说说而已，兄弟不要见怪。”徐铮道：“尊驾粘上这两撇胡子，逢人便叫兄弟，也未免把天下人都瞧小了。”胡斐一愣，没想到这个莽撞之人，竟会瞧得出来。程灵素低声道：“定是他妻子瞧出了破绽。”胡斐略一点头，凝视马春花，心想她瞧出我胡子是假装，却不知是否认出了我是谁。 徐铮见了他这副神情，只道自己妻子生得美丽，胡斐途中紧紧跟随，早便不怀好意。他遭盗党戏弄侮辱了个够，已存必死之意，心神失常，放眼但觉人人是敌，大声喝道：“阁下武艺高强，你要杀我，这便上吧！”说着一弯腰，从趟子手的腰间拔出单刀，立马横刀，向着胡斐凛然傲视。 胡斐不明他心意，欲待解释，背后马蹄声急，一骑快马急奔而至。这匹马虽无袁紫衣那白马的神骏，却也是罕见的快马，片刻间便从镖队旁掠过。胡斐一瞥之下，认得马上乘客便是十六盗伙之一，心想这批江湖人物言明已罢手不再打抱不平，这些人武功不弱，自当言而有信，当已作罢，见徐铮神气不善，不必跟他多有纠缠，便欲乘机离去。 程灵素道：“咱们走吧，犯不着多管闲事，打抱不平。”岂知“多管闲事，打抱不平”这八字，正触动徐铮的忌讳，他眼中如要喷出火来，便要纵马上前相拼。马春花急叫：“师哥，你又犯糊涂啦！”徐铮一呆。 程灵素一提马缰，跟着伸马鞭在胡斐的坐骑臀上抽了一鞭，两匹马向北急驰而去。胡斐回头叫道：“马姑娘，可记得商家堡么？”马春花陡然间满脸通红，喃喃道：“商家堡，商家堡！我怎能不记得？”她心摇神驰，思念往事，但脑海中半分也没出现胡斐的影子。她是在想着另外一个人，那个华贵温雅的公子爷…… 胡程二人纵马奔出三四里，程灵素道：“大哥，打抱不平的又追上来啦。”胡斐也早已听到来路上马蹄杂沓，共有十余骑之多，说道：“当真动手，咱们寡不敌众，又不知这批人是什么来头。”程灵素道：“我瞧这些人未必便真是强盗。”胡斐点头道：“这中间古怪很多，一时可想不明白。” 这时一阵西风吹来，来路上传来一阵金刃相交之声。胡斐惊道：“给追上了。”程灵素道：“瞧那些人的举动，那位马姑娘决计无碍，他们也不会伤那徐爷的性命，不过苦头是免不了要吃的了。”胡斐竭力思索，皱眉道：“我可真不明白。” 忽听得马蹄声响，斜刺往西北角驰去，走的却不是大道，同时隐隐又传来一个女子的呼喝之声。 胡斐纵马上了道旁一座小丘，纵目遥望，只见两名盗伙各乘快马，手臂中都抱着一个孩子。马春花徒步追赶，头发散乱，似乎在喊：“还我孩子，还我孩子！”隔得远了，听不清楚。那两个盗党兵刃一举，忽地分向左右驰开。马春花登时呆了，两
