Chapter 18 Chapter Eighteen

Yu Yutong and Li Yuanzhi came out together to look for Huo Qingtong, so he naturally understood the intention of Seventh Brother sending the two of them together.Li Yuanzhi was very affectionate and rescued her several times. He was grateful from the bottom of his heart, but the more infatuated she was, the more he couldn't help but want to avoid her, but he couldn't explain why.Along the way, Li Yuanzhi talked and laughed, but he was always cold.Li Yunzhi was annoyed, one morning, he secretly hid behind a sand dune to see if he was in a hurry.Unexpectedly, seeing that she was not there, he yelled a little and didn't hear her answer, so he went straight forward.Li Yuanzhi was extremely angry, cried behind the sand dunes, and then cheered up to catch up.Yu Yutong said indifferently: "Ah, you are behind, I thought you would go first!" Even though Li Yuanzhi was full of tricks, he was at a loss what to do with this man with a heart like wood and stone.She made up her mind: "When he really forced me to have nowhere to go, I wiped my neck with a sword."

At noon, I suddenly saw a skinny donkey limping in the desert facing me, and a person riding on the donkey seemed to be dozing off.When he got closer, he saw that the man was wearing Huiren's attire, carrying a large iron pot on his back, and holding a donkey's tail in his right hand. The little donkey had no tail on its buttocks, and there was a Qing soldier's cap on its head. The sapphire top of the officer's hat of the Xiaoqi Battalion was replaced by a pebble.The man was in his forties, with a big beard under his chin, and he smiled when he saw the two of them, he was amiable.

Yu Yutong thought that Huo Qingtong was well-known in the desert, and no one knew about it, so he reined in his horse and asked, "Excuse me, uncle, can you see the green feather yellow shirt?" But he was worried that he could not understand Chinese.Unexpectedly, the man smiled and asked in Chinese: "Why are you looking for her?" Comrade Yu Yu said: "There are some bad guys coming to harm her. We have to tell her to be careful. If you see her, send me a message." Can it work?" The man said: "Okay! What kind of bad guy?" Li Yuanzhi said: "One big man holds a one-legged bronze figure in his hand, the other holds a tiger fork, and the third is dressed as a Mongolian." The man He nodded and said: "These three people are really bad guys. They wanted to eat my donkey, so they snatched this hat for me instead." Yu and Li looked at each other.Comrade Yu Yu said: "Do they have any companions?" The man said: "This is the one wearing the official hat, are you sure?" Comrade Yu Yu said: "We are friends of the old hero Mu Zhuolun. These scoundrels are here Where? Don't let them bump into the Cuiyu yellow shirt." The man said: "I heard that Huo Qingtong is a pretty girl. If the four scoundrels can't eat my donkey, I'm hungry, so I'll roast this big girl to eat It's not good!"

Li Yuanzhi thought to himself that the Three Demons of the Kanto were brave and intrepid, adding one more officer of the Qing army, don't worry about it, it's better to go to them, the idea will end up with them, let this contemptuous Senior Brother Yu admire my tricks.So he asked, "Where are they? You take us there, and I'll give you a piece of silver." The man said, "I don't need silver, but I have to ask the donkey if he is willing to go." Putting his mouth next to the donkey's ear, he mumbled After talking for a while, he put his ears on the muzzle of the donkey, as if listening attentively, and nodded repeatedly.

The two couldn't help laughing when they saw him pretending to be crazy.The man listened for a while, then frowned and said, "This donkey thinks he's great after wearing the official hat. He looks down on your horses and doesn't want to go with you, for fear of losing face and losing his identity." Yu Yu agreed Surprised: "This person behaves strangely, speaks slyly, scolds all the outrageous villains in the world, is he actually a stranger?" Seeing that his donkey was lame and thin, covered in mud and still putting on airs, Li Yuanzhi couldn't help laughing.The man rolled his eyes and said: "Don't you believe it? Then I will compare my donkey with your horses." Both Yu and Li have horses gifted by Mu Zhuolun, and they have a similar relationship with this lame donkey. do not.Li Yunzhi said: "Okay, after we win, you have to take us to find those three villains." The man said: "It's four villains. What if you lose?" Li Yuanzhi said: "You can say it. "The man said: "Then you have to wash this donkey clean and let it show off." Li Yunzhi smiled and said: "Okay, that's it. How do we compare?"

The man said: "It's up to you how you like to compare." Li Yuanzhi saw that he was sure of what he said, and it seemed that he would win without a doubt, but he felt a little doubtful, thinking: "Could it be that this lame donkey really runs fast?" He moved and said, "What is that in your hand?" The man shook the donkey's tail and said, "The donkey's tail. It is wearing an official hat, and it thinks the mud on its tail is not beautiful, so I don't want it." Yu Yutong listened to his clever words, with far-reaching meanings, and dared not ignore them even more, and gave Li Yuanzhi a wink, telling her to pay attention.

Li Yuanzhi said: "Show me." The man threw the donkey's tail over, Li Yuanzhi reached out to catch it, played with it casually, pointed to a small sand dune in the distance, and said: "Let's run from here to that sand dune. Yours You win if the donkey arrives first, and I win if my horse arrives first." The man said: "Yes, I win if my donkey arrives first, and you win if your horse arrives first." Li Yuanzhi said to Comrade Yu Yu: "You Go over there first, and give us a notarization!" Yu Yu said, "Okay!" and went to flatter the horse.

Li Yuanzhi said: "Let's go!" At the end of the voice, he whipped his whip fiercely, and galloped the horse straight for tens of feet. Looking back, he saw the donkey limping and limping, far behind.She laughed loudly and stepped up to gallop. Suddenly, a black shadow passed by her side. When she looked closely, it was the man who put the donkey on his shoulders, let go of the pace, and galloped forward.She was so shocked that she almost lost her stability in the saddle, fell off the horse, and hurriedly urged the horse to give chase.But the man ran like the wind, always ahead of the horse's head.In less than a moment, the two rushed to the sand dunes, and finally the donkey riding on the man was more than ten feet ahead of the horse riding on the man, and went up the sand dune first.Li Yuanzhi threw the donkey's tail back in his hand, galloped up the sand dune, and shouted: "My horse is here first!"

The man and Yu Yutong looked at each other in astonishment, obviously the donkey arrived first, why did she say the horse arrived first?The man said: "Hey, big girl, let's agree: I win if the donkey arrives first, and you win when your horse arrives first, right?" Li Yuanzhi stretched out his hand to brush his hair fluttering in the wind, and said, "That's right." The man said: "We didn't say that someone must ride the donkey, did we?" Li Yunzhi said: "That's right." The man said: "Whether it's a man riding a donkey or a man riding a donkey, the donkey will arrive first. You have to know, It wears an official hat, and the stupid donkey is an official, but it crawls on people's heads."

Li Yunzhi said: "We agreed, you win if the donkey arrives first, and I win if the horse arrives first, right?" The man said: "That's right!" Li Yunzhi said: "We didn't say that when the donkey arrives, it will be counted. Isn’t it?” The man pulled his beard, looked confused, and said: “I’m so confused, what do you mean by ‘a little donkey’?” Li Yuanzhi pointed to the tail of the donkey that she threw far behind, and said: "My horse is all over here, but your donkey is only a little bit there, and his tail is not yet there!" The man was stunned, laughed loudly, and said, "That's right, that's right! You won, I'll lead you to find those four scoundrels." Going to pick up the donkey's tail, he said to the donkey, "Stupid donkey!" , don’t think that you don’t want your muddy tail if you wear an official hat! They haven’t forgotten it. If you want it, they don’t agree.” He jumped on the back of the donkey and said, “Stupid donkey, you are riding on the head of a human. It won't be long before you ride, and people will ride you again!"

Yu Yutong saw that although the donkey only weighed a few dozen catties, it was like a big dog, but to be able to carry it on its shoulders and run faster than a galloping horse, it must have profound martial arts skills.He quickly stepped forward and saluted, and said: "My junior sister is very naughty, senior, don't be as knowledgeable as her. Please point out the way, and wait for the juniors to find it. I dare not work hard for you, boss." The man smiled and said: "I've lost, how can I rely on it?" Turning the donkey's head, he shouted, "Come with me!" Seeing that he was willing to go with him, Yu Yutong was overjoyed.He knew that the martial arts of the Three Demons of the Guandong were astonishing, and he had formed a deep hatred with himself. If they ran into each other in the desert, it would be a disaster. With the help of this bearded man with strong martial arts, he would not be afraid. The three walked slowly side by side.Yu Yutong asked for his name, the man smiled and didn't answer, he couldn't stop cracking jokes, but his witty words were like pearls, and his humorous and humorous words, whether satirical or mocking, even Li Yuanzhi couldn't help admiring him secretly. The lame donkey walked very slowly. After walking for half a day, but only thirty miles away, he heard the ringing of the luan bell behind him, and Xu Tianhong and Zhou Qi caught up.Yu Yutong introduced them: "This is the Donkey Rider. He took us to the Three Demons of the East." Hearing what he said respectfully, Xu Tianhong got off his horse and saluted.The man didn't return the salute, and said with a smile: "Your wife should rest more, why is she still working so hard?" Xu Tianhong was stunned and puzzled.Zhou Qi blushed, raised her whip and urged the horse to gallop forward. The man was familiar with the roads in the desert and led them to a small town in the evening.When he was about to approach, he saw chickens flying and dogs flying, and the dust was rising. It turned out that a large group of Qing soldiers had just arrived, and all the Hui people fled in all directions, dragging their children and daughters.Xu Tianhong wondered: "Most of the Qing soldiers have been wiped out, and the few remnants have been besieged. Why are there Qing soldiers here?" While speaking, more than 20 Muslims rushed to face, and more than ten Qing soldiers shouted loudly behind them. Hold the knife and chase after him.Those Muslims suddenly saw the bearded man riding a donkey, they were overjoyed and shouted: "Nasr al-Din Afanti, save us quickly!" Ding! Avanti", presumably it was his name.Afanti shouted: "Everyone run away!" He picked up the donkey's rein and ran towards the desert, followed by all the Hui people and Qing soldiers. After running for a certain distance, the distance from the small town was getting farther and farther away. Several Hui women fell behind and were captured by Qing soldiers.Zhou Qi couldn't bear it any longer, she drew her saber and reined in her horse, turned around and chopped off, and chopped off half of a Qing soldier's head with two slashes.The rest of the Qing soldiers were furious and surrounded them.Xu Tianhong, Yu Yutong, and Li Yuanzhuo all turned around and attacked.Zhou Qi suddenly felt evil in her chest, and the golden stars danced in front of her eyes.Seeing her, a Qing soldier suddenly retracted his knife and stroked her chest, and rushed forward to capture her. Zhou Qi vomited with a "wow", and vomited on the Qing soldier's face without thinking.He stretched out his hands to wipe his face, and Zhou Qi hacked him to death with a knife, but his limbs felt sore and his body swayed a few times.Xu Tianhong rushed to grab hold of him, and asked in surprise, "What's the matter?" At this time, Yu Yutong and Li Yuanzhi had each killed two or three Qing soldiers.The rest uttered a cry, turned and fled.Afanti held the iron pot on his back in his hand, stretched out his hand, put it on the head of a Qing soldier, and shouted: "There is a stinky wax gourd at the bottom of the pot!" Li Yuanzhi stabbed with his sword, the Qing soldier was blindfolded, How to dodge it, it's time to account.Afanti raised the iron pot and covered the second Qing soldier, Li Yuanzhi followed with a sword.I don't know what method he used, under the cover of the iron pot, the Qing soldiers must not be able to avoid it.He covered the pot, and Li Yuanzhi followed with a sword. In a short while, the two of them killed more than ten Qing soldiers.Li Yuanzhi was very happy, and shouted: "Uncle Beard, your pot is really good." Avanti smiled and said: "Your kitchen knife is also very fast." Seeing that Li Yuanhua had killed many Qing soldiers, Yu Yutong thought to himself: "Her father is the admiral of the Manchu Qing, but she killed the Qing soldiers without any scruples. Then she is indeed determined to follow me." I was happy and worried at the same time. , can not help but sigh. At this time Xu Tianhong captured a Qing soldier and asked him where the officers and soldiers came from.The Qing soldier knelt down and begged for mercy, and he stammered for a long time before he could speak clearly.It turned out that they were reinforcements arriving from the east. Hearing that Zhaohui's army was defeated, they were sending reinforcements in batches and part-time.Xu Tianhong picked two strong men from among the Muslims, and asked them to report to Mu Zhuolun outside the city of Yarkand immediately so as to arrange for the enemy, and the two Huis agreed to go.Xu Tianhong kicked the Qing soldier on the buttocks, and shouted: "Go away!" The Qing soldier ran away desperately. Xu Tianhong looked back at his beloved wife and saw that her expression was normal. She didn't know why she suddenly became dizzy just now, and asked, "What's uncomfortable?" Zhou Qi's face flushed for a while, and she turned her head without answering.Afanti said with a smile: "The cow is about to give birth to a calf, and the grazing bull will be happy, but the eating bull is still asking here and there." "How do you know, old man?" Avanti laughed and said, "This is really strange. The bull doesn't know when a cow is going to give birth to a calf, but the donkey knows." Everyone laughed, and Yu Yutong asked them both. Congratulations, everyone got on their horses and walked around the town. In the evening, everyone set up a tent to rest.Xu Tianhong quietly asked his wife, "How many months has it been? Why don't I know?" Zhou Qi laughed and said, "How could you know that?" Zhou. Mom and Dad must be very happy. Don’t be so weird like you.” Xu Tianhong said: “Be careful in the future, don’t use knives or guns.” Zhou Qi nodded: “Well, just now After killing an officer and soldier, I couldn't help but vomit as soon as the bloody smell rushed, it's really a pain." The next morning, Avanti said to Xu Tianhong: "In the past thirty miles, you will come to my house. I have a beautiful wife there..." Li Yuanzhi interjected: "Really? Then I must go see her See. How could she like your bearded beard?" Afanti laughed and said, "Haha, that's a big secret." He said to Xu Tianhong, "Your wife ran around on a horse, punched and kicked her belly I'm afraid the calf here is not good. I'd better rest at my house and come back to pick her up after we find and kill those scoundrels." Xu Tianhong thanked repeatedly.Zhou Qi was unwilling at first, but thinking that her two older brothers and one younger brother were dead, and the child she was carrying would inherit the Zhou family's cigarettes in the future, she agreed.
When he arrived in the town, Avanti led everyone to his house. He picked up the pot and knocked on it.A woman in her thirties came out of the inner hall, she was really beautiful, her skin was fair and tender, she seemed to be overjoyed when she saw Avanti, but she kept cursing: "You bearded man, where are you going?" Are you going? I’m going home now, do you still remember me?” Afanti laughed and said, “Shut up, don’t I just come back? Get something to eat, your beard is starving " Afanti's wife laughed and said: "Aren't you full looking at such a pretty face?" Afanti said: "You are right, your beautiful face is a side dish, if you have some bread Yes, it would be even more beautiful to eat with this side dish.” She stretched out her hand and twisted his ear, and said, “I won’t allow you to go out again.” Turning around, she brought out a lot of bread, Watermelon, honey, mutton for guests.Although Li Yuanzhi didn't understand what the couple said, but seeing them flirting and being extremely affectionate, he felt a pang of pain in his heart. While eating, there was a lot of noise outside, a group of people came in, complained about various disputes to Afanti, and dragged him to the market to judge, Xu Tianhong and others followed to watch the excitement.Avanti talked and laughed to explain them away, quoting the Koran continuously, and everyone was satisfied.Yu Yutong could not help admiring him as he followed the door full of scriptures. Afanti said loudly: "As long as you do things according to the instructions of Allah and the Prophet, it will be good after all." Suddenly, a voice behind shouted: "Big beard, what are you doing stupid again?" Afanti looked back, Seeing that it was Tianchi strange man Yuan Shixiao, he was overjoyed.The two of them returned to the Han Dynasty and lived separately in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains. What they did was to help the poor and help the poor, and they were chivalrous and righteous. The two have always been friends.Afanti grabbed Yuan Shixiao's arm and said with a smile: "Haha, you old guy is here, come to my house and see my wife and eat pilaf." Yuan Shixiao said with a smile: "What's so great about your wife , like monkeys offering treasures all day long..." Before he finished speaking, Xu Tianhong and Yu Yutong rushed up to meet him.Yuan Shixiao said: "Forget it, forget it, I'm not your master, why do you kowtow? Where's Jialuo?" Xu Tianhong said: "The chief rudder is one step ahead of us... Ah, Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen are also here!" Turn around and salute the Tianshan Twin Eagles standing behind Yuan Shixiao.Seeing Guan Mingmei leading Chen Jialuo's white horse, he was startled and asked, "Is this horse? Where did the old man see it?" Guan Mingmei said: "I've seen your steward ride this horse, so I recognize it. We saw it running around in the desert just now, and the three of us had a lot of effort to hold it back." Xu Tianhong was shocked and said : "Could it be that the chief rudder is in danger? Let's go to the rescue." Everyone went to Avanti's house, and after a full meal, they said goodbye to Zhou Qi.Xu Tianhong and Zhou Qi were parting for the first time since they got married, and they were reluctant to part.Afanti's wife saw that her husband had only been home for a long time, and she wanted to go out again, so she grabbed his beard and cried loudly.Afanti comforted me with a smile, and said: "I found a wife to accompany you. She is as young and beautiful as you, and she is pregnant with a child again. That means there are two people accompanying you. Neither of them gave birth to you." A beard is better than my beard." She just cried and cried, "I love your beard! You are not allowed to leave with a beard!" Avanti laughed and said, "You want to keep my beard! Good!" Suddenly he reached out and pulled out his ten beards, stuffed them in his wife's hands, and rushed out the door. Avanti rode this big dog-like donkey, his feet could almost touch the ground. From a distance, the donkey seemed to have six legs.Yuan Shixiao said: "Big Beard, what are you riding? Is it a mouse or a cat?" Afanti said: "How can a mouse be so big?" Yuan Shixiao said: "It is probably a big mouse." Li Yuanzhi rode Luo Bing's white horse, let go of the reins, and let it lead the way.Afanti's donkey was really walking too slowly, everyone walked for a while, waited for a while, until evening, but only traveled more than 30 miles, everyone was in a hurry.Xu Tianhong said to Afan: "Senior, our chief helmsman may be in danger, we want to go first." Afan said: "Okay, okay. Go to the town ahead, I'll buy another one for middle use Some donkeys are like that. This stupid donkey is useless, but it still thinks it's great." Urging the donkey to catch up, they walked with Li Yuanzhi in the bridle. The white horse was half taller than the donkey, Afanti raised his head and asked Li Yunzhi: "Big girl, why are you unhappy all day long?" Ask him for advice on difficult matters, and immediately solve them, and then said: "Uncle Beard, what can you do to deal with people who don't know good and bad?" Afan said: "I put an iron pot on his head, Just one sword." Li Yuanzhi shook his head and said: "No, for example he...he is someone you are very...very close to. The better you treat him, the more he will lose his temper." Afanti pulled his beard , I knew it well, and said with a smile: "I ride a donkey every day, and I can deal with the stupid donkey's stubborn temper quite a few times. But I can't teach you this method casually." Li Yuanzhi said softly: "Uncle Beard, how can we teach?" Afan said: "We have to make a bet, I will teach you if you win." Li Yuanzhi smiled and said: "Okay, let's run the race again." Afanti said: "Bet on something else, you will lose the race." He took out the tail of the donkey and shook it, and said: "I will not be fooled by you again." Li Yuanzhi said: "If you don't believe it, try it." Afanti Said: "Okay, let's see what kind of ghosts you have." Pointing to a small town in front of him, he said: "Whoever gets to the first room wins!" Li Yunzhi said: "Okay, Uncle Beard, you lost again !" With a slight pinching of his legs and a lift of the rein, the white horse flew out of the string like an arrow. Afanti picked up the donkey and chased after it.This horse is a horse that has been seen for several generations. This gallop is as fast as thunder and lightning. How can he catch up?Before chasing halfway, the white horse has already rushed to the town.Afanti put down the donkey, laughed loudly and said, "I've been fooled by this little girl again. Although I know it's a good horse, how could I expect it to be so fast." Xu Tianhong and others were amazed when they saw his martial arts.It is not surprising that a donkey that weighs several tens of catties is carried on his back. What is surprising is that his feet are so fast. If it weren't for this BMW, he would have to catch up with an ordinary mount. After passing through the town, after a short time, the white horse suddenly neighed and galloped wildly.Li Yuanzhi was shocked and reined in, but he couldn't restrain himself.When everyone saw the white horse going crazy, they were all startled, and dispersed to chase and intercept it.I saw the white horse galloping straight into the desert, ran in front of several people, stopped suddenly, Li Yuanzhi got off the horse and talked to them.Looking from afar, it's hard to see who those are.Suddenly the white horse turned back and galloped back, halfway through, Xu Tianhong and Yu Yutong recognized that the rider on the horse had changed to Luo Bing, they were overjoyed and rushed to meet him.The two sides approached, and saw Wen Tailai, Wei Chunhua, Zhang Jin, and Xinyan behind them.The last one was white-haired, with a long sword on his back, he held Li Yunzhi's hand and kept asking, it turned out to be Lu Feiqing, a senior from the Wudang sect, who was pining on Lu Feiqing.It turns out that the white horse lover has a spirituality. When he saw Luo Bing from a distance, he ran for his life. Yu Yutong rushed to Lu Feiqing, knelt down on both knees, and called out: "Uncle Master!" He fell to the ground and cried loudly.Lu Feiqing stretched out his hand to help him up, and tears couldn't help streaming down his face, sobbing, "After I learned about your master's bad news, I rushed here all night, and met Fourth Master Wen and the others on the way, and they were also chasing this traitor... ...Don't worry, we father and son will definitely avenge your master!" The two sides met at that moment.Wen Tailai and others are concerned about Chen Jialuo's safety. Everyone went to the town to fight for the top.Afanti went to buy a donkey, and Li Yuanzhi quietly followed behind.Afanti ignored her, and chose a donkey with a tall head, which was almost twice as tall as the original donkey without a tail.Afanti gave the tailless donkey to the donkey dealer at a discounted price, and said with a smile: "The official hat killed this stupid donkey, we can't let this beast wear it anymore." He threw the official hat on the ground, trampling it to pieces.Li Yuanzhi waited for him to pay the silver taels, led the donkey for him, and walked side by side with him, smiling. Afanti said: "I used to raise a donkey, and its temper was really frighteningly stubborn. I asked it to go, but it just stood still. If I asked it to stand, this guy circled you again. One day, I want It pulled the cart and went to the mill. It was only a few dozen steps, but suddenly it refused to leave. The more it drove, the more it retreated. As for grandma, it doesn’t work, guess what I should do?” Li Yuanzhi knew that he was giving some hints, so he listened attentively, not daring to laugh, and said, “Your old man always has a way.” Avanti smiled and said, “Okay, big The girl wants a son-in-law, she is willing to do anything, she used to call me Uncle Beard, but now I can be called 'Your Old Man'!" Li Yuanzhi blushed and said, "I mean your donkey!" Afanti said: "Yes, yes. Then I thought, it's done! I turned the stupid donkey around. The mill was to the east. I directed the donkey to the west and drove it hard. It was still moving step by step. Back, back, back, this is the mill." Li Yuanzhi muttered to himself: "You want it to go east, but it goes west...then you want it to go west." Afanti gave a thumbs up and said : "That's right, that's the way to do it. Later, I came up with another method. I hung a carrot on the whip and stretched it out in front of the stupid donkey. The stupid donkey wanted to eat carrots, so he couldn't help walking forward and kept walking. Dozens of miles away, I gave it the carrot when I reached the place where I want it to go." Li Yunzhi immediately understood, and said with a smile, "Thank you for your guidance, old man." Avanti smiled and said, "Now go find your carrot. Bar!" Li Yuanzhi pondered: "What is what Senior Brother Yu wants most? Just now he saw my master and cried like this, so the most important thing for him is to kill Zhang Zhaozhong and avenge Master Ma. I thought about it and killed Zhang Zhaozhong." Then I thought: "Zhang Zhaozhong is very skilled in martial arts, how can I kill him? Even if I kill him, he is just grateful to me, and he will not be like a donkey chasing carrots, chasing carrots all the way." Thinking again : "When I was young, I saw the servant's son playing with clay dolls. He cried for it, but he refused to give it. I just wanted it, but he refused to give it to me. Uncle Beard is right, the better I treat him, the more he avoids it. Let me go. In the future, it's better to be cold and indifferent, and when he thinks I'm good, let him taste the taste of begging for help. To drive away the stubborn donkey, you have to use the method of the bearded uncle." The plan has been made. , really ignored Yu Yutong.Luo Bing and Xu Tianhong looked on coldly, feeling strange.Avanti just pulled his beard and smiled. Afanti changed the strength of his feet and walked several times faster. The group of people stepped on the yellow sand, followed the white horse, and came to the front of Baiyu Peak.The white horse still had a lingering fear of the wolves, and when it reached the crossroad into the ancient city, it stopped.Luo Bing drove him away again and again, but the white horse refused to move forward no matter what.Yuan Shixiao said: "The wolf group once gathered here, let's follow the wolf dung all the way to find it." When everyone saw a lot of wolf dung, they were anxious about Chen Jialuo's safety.Luo Bing got off the white horse and rode with Wen Tailai. After walking zigzagging for a long time, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps, four people turned out from the crossroad, the first one was Zhang Zhaozhong.Xu Tianhong whistled, and dispersed together with Wei Chunhua, Zhang Jin, and Xinyan, and went to the rear of the four of them.Zhang Zhaozhong was shocked when he saw the crowd of heroes, especially when he saw his brother Lu Feiqing, his face turned pale immediately, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.Yu Yutong waved the golden flute in both hands, so he wanted to rush forward and do his best.Yuan Shixiao grabbed his arm with his left hand and gently pulled it, Yu Yutong retreated involuntarily. Yuan Shixiao pointed at Zhang Zhaozhong and cursed: "I met you a few days ago, and I thought you were a master of the Wudang sect, but I didn't know that you were a gangster who did all kinds of crimes, and even my senior brother had the heart to kill you. Come on, give yourself Stop it." Zhang Zhao saw that there were at least five people on the other side with similar skills to his own, and some were even higher than his own, so it would be unreasonable to fight with each other.Immediately braced himself, and said: "I only have four people here, and you rely on the number to win. It is not a shame for Zhang to die here!" They are all hard hands, the four of them fight together, I can't deal with it alone, but with the help of a big beard, it will be done." With a "hum", he said: "If you want to kill you villain, you need to rely on it. How many wins? The four of you come up together, and I will only follow up with the bearded brother. As long as the four of you can draw with the two of us, I will let you walk." Zhang Zhaozhong looked at Afanti, and saw that he had a dark complexion, with a bushy beard covering half of his face, and his eyes were narrowed into two slits when he smiled. His martial arts are astonishing, far superior to mine. Could it be that this bearded man is also extremely powerful? If one of the three demons in the Kanto region helps, I might be able to draw with this man surnamed Yuan, and the remaining two can deal with this Huizi. That's enough." In this situation, he could no longer have any objections, so he said: "Then let's try, and ask Yuan... Yuan Daxia's subordinates to be merciful." Yuan Shixiao said sharply: "My subordinates are merciless " He said to Afan: "Big Beard, in front of so many new friends, we brothers should not make a fool of ourselves." Afan said: "I'm a country guy, I'm a little timid when I meet an official, I'm afraid I won't succeed." He swayed, but didn't see him lift his legs and move his feet, and he had already got off the donkey.When Zhang Zhao saw his posture again, he suddenly remembered that it was the weird person who snatched his hat in the cemetery that night, and he was startled. Yuan Shixiao shouted: "Come on, everyone. Fight hard, don't try to escape, you can't escape under my old man's hands." Ha Shitai took a step forward and said to Yuan Shixiao: "Hero Yuan has saved lives for my three brothers. We absolutely dare not accept your old man's brilliant trick. Besides, we have just met this person surnamed Zhang, and we have no friendship, so we can't do it. Help him." Seeing Zhang Zhaozhong's despicable behavior, he has long been looked down upon by his boss, but he has encountered many enemies at this moment, and if he wants to speak out against each other, it is suspected of pleasing the other party and trying to avoid disaster, so he only said stop here.The three demons stood side by side, clearly staying out of the matter. Yuan Shixiao frowned, and said: "They refused to do anything, and you are the only one left. What should I do? When I was thirty years old, I made a solemn oath to my patriarch. From then on, I will never fight alone. "Speaking, he glanced at Tianshan Shuangying.It turned out that he was afraid that he would beat Chen Zhengde to death due to jealousy and madness, so he made this solemn oath to restrain himself, and then said: "Bearded man, I have to trouble you." Afanti took off the pot on his back, said with a smile: "Okay, okay, okay." With a sound of hoo, the pot covered Zhang Zhao heavily.Zhang Zhaozhong leaped to the left, focused on what kind of weapon he was using, he saw that it was dark and round, one side advanced together, the other side protruded, there was a lot of soot on the protruding side, it looked like an iron pot.Afanti smiled and said: "You must be thinking: what is this? It looks like a pot. Let me tell you, this is exactly a pot. You Qing soldiers came to the Ministry for no reason and broke a lot The pot made us unable to eat. Well, now the pot is here to fight the Qing soldiers!" Before finishing speaking, he waved the pot under Zhang Zhaozhong's hood. Zhang Zhaozhong made a move of "Crane Spreading its Wings", he slashed diagonally, and hit the opponent's shoulder with his palm back.Afanti slumped slightly, wiped the bottom of the pot with his left hand, and wiped the soot on his face with one hand. Zhang Zhaozhong has experienced many battles since his debut, and has never encountered such a weird person.I saw him holding the pan with his right hand, wiping the cigarette with his left hand, and his steps were crooked and disorganized. However, he easily dodged the fierce moves he made every time, so he dared not neglect them.Immediately unfold the Wuji Xuangong Fist, embrace the origin and return to unity, guarding the vital points of the whole body without any loopholes.The road was extremely narrow, and the underground was full of jagged rocks. The two crowded together in this dangerous place, attacking and defending and resisting attack, fighting fiercely.Yuan Shixiao sighed: "Traitor, traitor, with your kung fu, it is extremely rare. If it weren't for such a vicious heart, my old man can't help but love talents." Yu Yutong said hurriedly: "No , old man, no way!" Xin Yan asked Wei Chunhua, "Ninth Brother, what trick is this bearded man using?" Wei Chunhua shook his head.Here Tianshan Shuangying, Lu Feiqing, Wen Tailai, etc. also don't know the number of Avanti's martial arts family, and they are secretly surprised.Suddenly Afanti kicked with his left leg, and the pot struck horizontally, Zhang Zhaozhong had nowhere to hide, he got out from the bottom of the pot in a hurry.Unexpectedly, Afanti opened his left palm and was waiting under the pot.Zhang Zhaozhong was so startled that he had no time to dodge, so he threw a "sky cannon" with his left fist and slammed towards the bottom of the pot.Afanti shouted: "You eater, you can't break it!" Lifting the pot up, he wiped it away, and Zhang Zhaozhong's face was already smeared with five soot streaks. Both of them jumped away.Afanti shouted: "Come, come, the outcome is still pending, let's compete again." Zhang Zhaozhong stared at the iron pot in his hand, staring blankly.Afanti said: "Ah, that's right, you didn't bring a weapon, and you won't be convinced even if you lose." Turning to Li Yuanzhi, he said, "Miss, lend me your kitchen knife for carrots." When the two were fighting, Li Yuanzhi was the closest, and when Zhang Zhaozhong was covered by the pot, he immediately grabbed a sword, but he didn't know that this strange man had spoken out his thoughts, and his face was blushing.Afanti always speaks insanely, and other people don't take it seriously when they hear him call Zhang Zhaozhong "carrot", but they don't know that there is a beautiful daughter's feelings hidden in it.Seeing that she was not moving, Afan put his mouth next to her ear and said in a low voice: "Give him the kitchen knife, and I can still catch him." Li Yunzhi nodded, threw the long sword, and shouted: "Sword Here we go, go on!" Zhang Zhaozhong caught the hilt of the sword with his right hand, turned around suddenly, raised his left hand sharply, and threw a lotus gold needle towards Xu Tianhong, Wei Chunhua and others who blocked the retreat.Xu Tianhong and others knew how powerful it was, so they hurriedly leaned over, only to feel the wind howling above their heads, and Zhang Zhaozhong had already rushed over.He rushed to Hahetai's side, stretched out his left hand to hold the pulse gate of his right hand, and shouted: "Go!" Hahetai was not in the body at the moment, and was dragged by him to rush into the lost city.Teng Yilei and Gu Jinbiao didn't have time to think carefully, and then followed.This became hasty, and when Xu Tianhong and the others stood up, the four of them had already turned the corner.Yuan Shixiao and Afanti were furious, they pulled up quickly and jumped over Xu Tianhong and the others like two big cranes.The Tianchi strange man was very fast, before he landed, he had already grabbed Teng Yilei by the back of the collar and threw his fat body up.Teng Yilei didn't know who was holding him, he just felt that his body was hanging in the air, he couldn't exert any strength, so he hurriedly swung the one-legged bronze figure back quickly, suddenly felt that his body was thrown out by a huge force, and he could only scream With a beep, he had already crashed into the middle of the mountain, his brain burst and he died. ... Yuan Shixiao threw Teng Yilei to death, did not stop, turned a corner, saw three divergent roads ahead, and did not know which way Zhang Zhaozhong escaped from.Pointing to the right, he shouted: "Big beard, you chase this way." Pointing to the left again, he said to Tianshan Shuangying: "You two chase this way." He chased down the middle road by himself.In a short while, the four of them turned back in vain, and they all said that they only turned a corner, and there were forks in the road ahead, and they couldn't follow them. Xu Tianhong inspected it carefully on the road, and said: "This pile of wolf dung has just been stepped on by someone, and they must have fled inward by following the wolf dung." Yuan Shixiao said: "That's right, hurry up." , went straight to Baiyu Peak, but Zhang Zhaozhong and the other three were still nowhere to be seen. Everyone searched separately in various houses, and Wei Chunhua soon discovered the cave in the waist of the peak.Yuan Shixiao and Chen Zhengde jumped up first, followed by Lu Feiqing, Wen Tailai, Guan Mingmei and others.其他轻功较差的，由陆菲青和文泰来一一用绳子吊上，最后剩下心砚。阿凡提笑道：“小兄弟，我试试你的胆子！”一把抓住他后心，喝道：“接着！”把他身子向洞口抛去，文泰来一把抱住，阿凡提随即跳上。 这时袁士霄刚推开了石门。那门向内而开，要是外面被人扣住，里面千军万马也冲突不出，但自外入内十分容易。原来当年那暴君开凿山腹玉宫，自恃迷城道路千岔万回，外敌决难侵入。担心的反是变生肘腋，内叛在山腹负隅顽抗，因此把宫门造成如此模样。 袁士霄当先急行，众人在甬道中鱼贯而入。徐天宏折下了桌脚椅脚，点成火炬，各人分着拿了。追到大殿上时，各人兵刃都被磁山吸去，不免大吃一惊。阿凡提身手敏捷，抢上将飞出的铁锅一把抓住，才没打破。众人追敌要紧，也不及细究原因，拾回兵刃，紧紧抓住，直入玉室，见床边又有一条地道。众人愈走愈奇，在这山腹之内谁都不敢做声，只是跟着袁士霄疾走。突然眼前大亮，只见碧绿的池边六人夹水而立。远远望去，池子那边是陈家洛、霍青桐和香香公主，这边就是张召重、顾金标和哈合台了。 众人大喜，心砚高声大叫：“少爷，少爷，我们都来啦！” 文泰来等快步迎上。关明梅大叫：“孩子，你怎样？”霍青桐叫道：“师父师公，我很好！你们快将这奸贼杀了。”说着向顾金标一指。陈正德上次空手出战三魔，险些吃亏，这时再不托大，拔出长剑，向顾金标左肩刺去。顾金标二次进来时已在大殿上拾回兵刃，当下抖动虎叉，和陈正德斗了起来。这边关明梅和哈合台也动上了手。 群雄各执兵刃，慢慢围拢，监视着张召重。李沅芷的剑借了给张召重，陆菲青把在杭州狮子峰上夺自张召重的凝碧剑给了她。 顾哈两人情急拼命，勉强支持了十余招，双鹰的三分剑术愈逼愈紧，两人只有招架的份儿。剑光飞舞中只听陈正德一声猛喝，顾金标胸口见血。陈正德接着又是一剑，指向对方下盘。顾金标向左急避，陈正德飞起一腿，扑通一声，水花四溅，顾金标跌入翡翠池中，一缕鲜血从池水中泛了上来。 那边哈合台也已被关明梅剑光罩住。余鱼同想起哈合台数次相救之德，知道师叔与双鹰交情甚好，忙对陆菲青道：“师叔，这个不是坏人，你救他一救。”陆菲青道：“好。”见关明梅上刺一剑，下刺一剑，左刺一剑，右刺一剑，哈合台满头大汗，脸无人色，不住倒退。陆菲青突然跃出，铮的一声，白龙剑架开了关明梅长剑，叫道：“陈大嫂，这人还不算坏，饶了他吧。”关明梅见陆菲青说情，总得给他面子，当即收剑。陆菲青转过头来，见哈合台不住喘息，因使劲过度，身子抖动，喝道：“快谢了关大侠不杀之恩。” 哈合台心想大丈夫要人饶了自己，活着又有何意味，叫道：“我何必要她饶命！”又要扑上厮杀。忽听水声一响，顾金标从水面下钻了出来，慢慢游近池边，哈合台抛去弯刀，抢过去拉起。顾金标受伤甚重，又喝了不少水，委顿不堪。哈合台不住给他胸口揉搓，毫不理会身边众人。霍青桐奔到临近，骂了声：“奸贼！”挺剑向顾金标胸口刺去。 哈合台情急之下，举臂挡格。霍青桐一剑直下，眼见就要将他手臂削断。袁士霄想起他引狼入阱时之功，捡起一块小石子掷出，当的一声，霍青桐手臂发麻，长剑震落在地，不禁一呆。袁士霄道：“料理了那姓张的恶贼再说，这两人逃不了。” 张召重被群雄围住，见顾哈两人恶战之后，束手待缚，文泰来、阿凡提、陈家洛、陆菲青等四下牢牢监视，哪里更有脱身之机。摇头长叹，正要抛剑就戮，忽然陆菲青身后一人闪出，正是李沅芷。她手执长剑，直冲过来，骂道：“你这奸贼！”众人一愣之间，李沅芷已扑到张召重身前，低声道：“我来救你。”刷刷刷数剑，疾刺而至。张召重不明她是何用意，连避数剑。李沅芷忽然脚下假意一滑，向前一扑，低声道：“快拿住我。”张召重大悟，乘她一剑削来，举剑挡格，左手已抓住她手腕，当的一声，自己长剑已被削断，一瞥之下，见她手中所持竟是自己的凝碧剑，真是喜上加喜。 这时文泰来、余鱼同、卫春华、陈正德同时抢上救人。张召重抢过凝碧剑挥了个圈子，金笛双钩一起断折。文泰来和陈正德急忙收招，兵刃才没受损。张召重将宝剑点在李沅芷后心，喝道：“让道！”这一下变出不意，众人眼见巨奸就缚，哪知李沅芷少不更事，勇猛贪功，反而变成他的护身符。 李沅芷假意软软地靠在张召重肩头，似乎被他点中穴道，动弹不得。张召重见众人面面相觑，不敢来攻，正要寻路出走，李沅芷在他耳边低声道：“回到山腹中去。”他一想不错，大踏步走向地道。 袁士霄和陈正德恼怒异常，一个捡起一粒石子，一个摸出三枚铁菩提，齐向张召重后心打去。张召重弓背俯身，让过暗器，脚下丝毫不停，奔入地道。只听得李沅芷大叫一声：“啊哟！”陆菲青一惊，叫道：“大家别蛮干，咱们另想别法。”他也真怕张召重不顾一切，伤害了他徒儿。 众人紧跟张召重身后，追入地道，只霍青桐手执长剑，怒目望着顾金标。哈合台忙着给盟兄包扎胸前伤口，对身旁一切犹如不闻不见。陈家洛怕霍青桐孤身有失，走到地道门前停了步，对香香公主道：“咱们在这里陪你姊姊。” 张召重拉着李沅芷向前急奔，众人不敢过分逼近，甬道中转弯又多，无法施放暗器。奔完甬道，眼见张召重就要越过石门，袁士霄一挫身，正要蹿上去攻他后心，黑暗中只听得一阵嗤嗤嗤之声，忙贴身石壁，叫道：“大胡子，铁锅！”阿凡提抢上两步，铁锅倒转，一阵轻轻的铮铮之声过去，铁锅中接住了数十枚芙蓉金针。 阿凡提叫道：“炒针儿吃啊，炒针儿吃呀！”就这样缓得一缓，张召重和李沅芷已奔出石门，两人合力将门拉上。袁士霄和陈正德抢上来拉门，但石门内面无可资施力之处。两人都是火气奇大，这时岂有不破口怒骂之理？ 张召重又将金斧斧柄插入铁环，喘了一门长气，对李沅芷道：“多谢李小姐相救！”李沅芷笑道：“我爸爸和张师叔都是朝廷命官，我自然要救你。”张召重道：“李军门近来安好，太夫人安好。”说着打千请安，竟是按着官场规矩行起礼来。 李沅芷道：“你是我师叔，我可不敢当。咱们快想法逃走。师父一定瞧得出是我救你，要是给他追上了，可没命啦。”张召重道：“他们人多，咱们快回内地，多约帮手，再来擒拿。”李沅芷道：“他们一定回去池边，绕道追过来。张师叔，得快想法子。在这大漠之上，可不容易逃脱啊！”张召重武功其高，人也奸猾，计谋却是平平，当下皱起了眉头，一时想不出法子。李沅芷似乎焦急异常，伏在石上哭泣起来。 张召重忙加劝慰：“李小姐，别怕，咱们一定逃得了。”李沅茁哭道：“就算逃出了迷城，不用一两天，又得给他们赶上。妈呀，呜呜……妈呀！”张召重给她哭得心烦意乱，不住搓手。李沅芷忽然破涕为笑，问道：“你小时候捉过迷藏吗？” 张召重自幼父母双亡，五岁时就由师父收养学艺，马真和陆菲青都比他年长得多，因此这些孩子的玩意都没玩过，当下脸现迷惘之色，摇了摇头。李沅芷道：“咱们在迷城中躲了起来。他们一定找不到，以为咱们逃出去啦，在外面拼命追赶。咱们过得三四天再慢慢出来。”张召重大拇指一翘，道：“李小姐真聪明！”随即道：“可是咱们没带粮食，三四天……”李沅芷道：“外面马背上又有干粮又有水。”张召重喜道：“好，咱们快躲起来。”两人缘着长索攀上峰腰洞口。这长索是张召重和三魔上次进出山腹时所留，哈合台是牧人，身上爱带长索。两人转身出洞，再沿山壁溜下，各自牵了一匹马，向外奔出。 走到分歧路口，李沅芷道：“你瞧地下这狼粪，本来出外是往左，咱们偏偏往右……”说到这里，见牵着的那匹马尾巴扬起，就要拉粪，忙取下马背上的粮袋水囊，把两匹马的马头牵过向左，猛力一鞭，两马负痛，放蹄疾奔而去。张召重愕然不解，问道：“什么？”李沅芷笑道：“他们寻到这里，见马蹄印和新鲜马粪都在左边正路上，自然向左边追出去。”张召重大喜，连赞：“妙计，妙计！” 两人从歧路向右。每走上一条岔路，李沅芷都用三块小石子在隐蔽处叠个记号。张召重道：“这里道路千叉万支，要是没了这记号，咱俩也真的没法子找路出去。”行了半日，两旁山壁愈逼愈紧，也不知已转了多少弯，走了多少岔路。李沅芷见天色渐暗，说道：“就在这里歇吧。”两人吃了干粮，喝了水，坐着休息。张召重道：“另一匹马上的粮袋水囊没来得及取下，真是可惜。”李沅芷道：“只好省着点儿用。”张召重道：“是。”李沅芷把粮袋和水囊放在张召重身边，说：“你好好看着，这是咱们的命根子。”张召重点头答应。李沅芷走开十多丈，找了个干净地方睡倒。 睡到半夜，张召重忽听李沅芷一声惊叫，急忙跳起身来，只见她指着来路，叫道：“一只大灰狼，快快！”张召重拔出凝碧剑，飞步追了出去，转了两个弯，不见狼踪，生怕迷路，不敢再追，退回来时，却不见了李沅芷的踪影，叫得一声：“李小姐！”只见地下湿了一片，水囊已然倾翻，忙抢上拾起，见旗中只剩点点滴滴。正自懊丧，李沅芷已从那边山道中转了出来，道：“那边又有一只狼，冲过来抢水喝。”张召重一举水囊，道：“想不到恶狼还没死干净，你瞧！”李沅芷坐在地下，双肩耸动，又哭了起来。张召重道：“既没了水，这里没法多待。再熬一天，就冒险出去吧。”李沅芷站起身来，道：“我出去探探，你在这里等我。”张召重道：“咱们一起去。”李沂芷道：“不，再遇上他们，你还有命么？我总好些。”张召重一想不错，道，“李小姐可要千万小心。”李沅芷道：“嗯，你的宝剑借给我吧。”张召重把凝碧剑递过。 李沅芷接剑回身，循着记号从原路出来，每到一处岔路，便照样摆上三块小石子，只是在真记号边上多撒一堆沙子。张召重如自行出来，见了这些记号，一定分不出真假，东转西转、无所适从之余，非仍回原地不可。她一路布置，心中暗暗好笑，自忖假造狼讯，倒翻水囊，那张召重居然丝毫不觉，这一来可逃不出自己的掌握了。 天色将明，已走上正路，只听得转弯角上有人在破口大骂：“瞧我抽不抽这恶贼的筋，剥不剥他的皮？”又有一人笑道：“要抽筋剥皮，也得先找到这恶贼才行。”李沅芷大叫一声：“啊哟！”倒在地下，假装昏了过去。 说话的正是袁士霄和阿凡提，他们拉不开石门，只得回到池边。霍青桐从地图中找到了秘道，从后山绕了出来，张召重和李沅芷早已不知去向。袁士筲正在大发脾气，忽然听得叫声，寻声过来，见李沅芷倒在地下，又惊又喜，一探尚有鼻息，身上又没伤痕，这才放心，急忙施救，李沅芷却只是不醒。袁士霄焦急起来，阿凡提笑骂：“这顽皮女孩，倘若是我女儿呀，不结结实实揍一顿才怪。”见她还在装腔作势，不肯醒转，说道：“要是真的晕了过去，那么我打十几鞭都不会动。”一抖驴鞭，刷的一鞭打在她肩上。 袁士霄正要出言怪他鲁莽，李沅芷却怕他再打，睁开了眼睛，“啊”的一声叫了出来。阿凡提得意非凡，笑道：“我的鞭子比你什么推宫过血高明多啦，一鞭她就醒了。”袁士霄心想：“大胡子倒真有两下子。”忙俯身问道：“没受伤么？那奸贼呢？”李沅芷道：“我给他拿住了，怕得要命，昨晚半夜里他睡得迷迷糊糊了，我才偷偷逃了出来。”袁士霄道：“他在哪里？快带我去找。”李沅芷道：“好。”站起身来，身子一晃一晃的，袁士霄伸手扶住。阿凡提道：“你们两人去吧，我在这里等着。”袁士霄怪目一翻，道：“大胡子想偷懒？好吧，就没有你，我也对付得了。” 两人离去不久，陆菲青、陈正德、陈家洛、文泰来等分头在各处搜索之后都陆续汇齐。阿凡提也不跟他们说起，听他们纷纷议论，只是微笑。章进与心砚押着顾金标与哈合台，远远坐在地下。又过一阵，袁士霄和李沅芷回来了。众人大喜，陆菲青和骆冰忙抢上去慰问。袁士霄向阿凡提道：“大胡子，你又占了便宜，省得白走一趟。她认不出道啦。我们两人转来转去，险些回不出来。” 众人一商量，都说如捉不到张召重决不回去。可是这迷城道路如此变幻，如何寻得着他？徐天宏和镔青桐虽都极富智计，却也想不出善法。徐天宏道：“要是有两头狼犬就好啦……”陈正德道：“我们家里倒有大狼犬，就可惜远水救不得近火。”说话之间，徐天宏见阿凡提嘴角边露着微笑，知他必有高见，走近身去，道：“我们实在不知怎么办，请老前辈指示一条明路。”阿凡提向余鱼同一指，笑道：“明路就在他身上，怎么不要他找去？”余鱼同愕然道：“我？”阿凡提点点头，仰天长笑，跨上驴子，飘然而去。 徐天宏起初还以为他开玩笑，细加琢磨，觉得李沅芷的言语行动之中破绽甚多，心想这事只怕得着落在她身上，于是悄悄去和骆冰说了。骆冰一想有理，倒了一碗水，拿了一块烧羊肉给李沅芷，说道：“李家妹妹，你真有本事，怎么能逃得脱那坏蛋的毒手？”李沅芷道：“那时我都吓糊涂啦，拼命奔跑，只怕给这恶贼追上了。乱闯乱冲，什么路也认不出，真是天保佑，居然瞎摸了出来。”料知骆冰定要查问途径，把她问话先给堵住了。 骆冰本来将信将疑，也不知她是否真的不知道张召重藏身之所，待听她推得一干二净，心里反倒雪亮了，暗笑：“小妮子好狡猾！”说道：“妹妹你细细想一想，定能认得出来去的途径。”李沅芷叹道：“要是我心境好一点，不这么失魂落魄似的，本来也不会这么糊涂，竟然忘记得没一点儿影子。”骆冰心道：“来啦，来啦。”低声悄语：“你的心事我都明白，只要你帮我们这个大忙，大伙儿一定也帮你完成心愿。”李沅芷脸上一阵飞红，随即眼圈儿也红了，低声道：“我是个没人疼的，逃出来干吗呀？还不如给那姓张的杀了干净。”骆冰听她语气一转，竟又撒起赖来，知道自己是劝她不转的了，说道：“妹妹你累啦，喝点水歇歇吧。”李沅芷点点头。 骆冰把余鱼同拉在一旁，跟他低声说了好一阵子。余鱼同神色先是颇见为难，后来又是咬牙切齿，终于下了决心，一拍大腿，道：“好，为了给恩师报仇，我什么都肯。” 李沅芷自管闭目养神，对他们毫不理会，过了一会，听得余鱼同走到身旁，说道：“师妹，你数次救我性命，我并非不知好歹，眼下要请你再帮我一个大忙。”说着施下礼去。 李沅芷道：“啊哟，余师哥，怎么行起礼来啦？咱们是同门，要我做什么，你吩咐着不就行了吗？”余鱼同听她语气显得极为生分，这时有求于她，只是说道：“张召重那奸贼害死我恩师，只要有谁能助我报仇，我就是一辈子给他做牛做马，也仍是感他大德。” 李沅芷一听大怒，心想：“要是你娶了我，竟是一辈子做牛做马这么苦恼？”转过头来，脸上登时便如罩了一层严霜，发作道：“眼前放着这许多大英雄大侠客，还有你的什么钟舵主、鼓舵主，你干吗不求他们帮去？你一路上避开人家，倒像一见了我，就害了你一生、累了你一一世似的。我有这份本事帮你么？你再不给我走开些，瞧我用不用好听的话骂你。” 众人正商议如何追寻张召重，也没留心骆冰、余鱼同、李沅芷三人，忽听李沅芷提高了嗓子，面红耳赤地发作，又见余鱼同低下了头讪汕地走开，都感愕然。 徐天宏和骆冰见余鱼同碰了一鼻子灰，只有相对苦笑，把陈家洛拉在一边，低语商量。陈家洛道：“咱们请陆老前辈去跟她说，她对师父的话总不能不听……”话未说完，猛听得心砚与章进一个惊叫，一个怒吼，急忙回头，只见顾金标正发狂般向霍青桐奔去。 陈家洛大惊，斜蹿出去，却相距远了，难以阻拦。卫春华抢上挡住，被顾金标用力一摔，退出两步。只见他和身向霍青桐扑去，叫道：“你杀了我吧！”霍青桐又惊又怒，举剑向他当胸刺去。他竟不闪避招架，反而胸膛向前一挺，波的一声，长剑人胸。 霍青桐回抽长剑，一股鲜血从他胸前直喷出来，溅满了她黄衫。众人围拢来时，顾金标已倒在地下。哈合台伏在他身边，手忙脚乱地想止血，但血如泉涌，哪里止得住？顾金标叹道：“冤孽，冤孽！”哈合台道：“老二，你有什么未了之事？”顾金标道：“我只要亲一亲她的手，死也瞑目。”憋住一口气，望着霍青桐。 哈合台道：“姑娘，他快死啦，你就可怜可……”霍青桐一言不发，转身走开，脸已气得惨白。顾金标长叹一声，垂首而死。 哈合台忍住眼泪，跳起身来，指着霍青桐的背影大骂：“你这女人也太狠心，你杀他，我不怪你，那是他自己不好。可是你的手给他亲一亲，让他安心死去，又害了你什么？”章进喝道：“别胡说八道，给我闭住了鸟嘴。”哈合台毫不理会，仍是怒骂。章进上前要打，给余鱼同拦住了。 陆菲青朗声说道：“你们那焦文期焦三爷是我杀的，跟别人毫不相干。此后许多纠纷，都因此而起。关东六兄弟现下只剩了你一人。我们都知你为人正派，不忍加害，你就去吧。日后如要报仇，只找我一人就是。”哈合台也不答腔，抱着顾金标的尸身大踏步走出。 余鱼同捡了一只水囊，一袋干粮，缚在马上，牵马追上去，说道：“哈大哥，我仰慕你是条好汉子，这匹马请你带了去。”哈合台点点头，把顾金标的尸身放上马背。余鱼同从水囊中倒了一碗水出来，自己喝了半碗，递给哈合台道：“以水代酒，从此相别。”哈合台仰脖子喝干。余鱼同抽出金笛，那笛子被张召重削去了一截，笛中短箭都已脱落，但仍可吹奏，当下按宫引商，吹了起来。 哈合台一听，曲调竟是蒙古草原之音，等他吹了一会儿，从怀中摸出号角，呜呜相和。原来当日哈合台在孟津黄河中吹奏号角，余鱼同暗记曲调，这时相别，便吹此曲以送。众人听二人吹得慷慨激昂，都不禁神往。一曲既终，余鱼同伸臂抱了抱他肩膀，哈合台收起号角，头也不回地上马而去。 骆冰向哈合台与余鱼同的背影一指，对李沅主道：“这两人都是好男儿。”李沅芷道：“是么？”骆冰道：“你干吗不帮他个大忙？”李沅芷叹道：“要是我能帮就好了。”骆冰笑道：“妹妹，咱们真人面前不说假话。你不肯说，等到陆伯父来逼你，就不好啦！”李沅芷道：“别说我认不出路，就算认得出，我不爱带领又怎样？自古道女子要三从四德，这三从之中可没'从师'那一条。” 骆冰笑道：“我爹只教我怎生使刀，怎样偷东西，孔夫子的话可一句也没教过。好妹子，你给我说说，什么叫做三从四德？”李沅芷道：“四德是德容言工，就是说做女子的，第一要紧是品德，然后是相貌、言语和治家之事了。”骆冰笑道：“别的倒也还罢了，容貌是天生的，爷娘生得我丑，我有什么法儿？那么三从呢？”李沅芷愠道：“你装傻，我不爱说啦。”掉过了头不理她。骆冰一笑走开，去对陆菲青说了。 陆菲青沉吟道：“三从之说，出于仪礼，乃是未嫁从父，既嫁从夫，夫死从子。这是他们做官人家、读书人的礼教，咱们江湖上的男女可从来不讲究这一套。”骆冰笑道：“本来嘛，未嫁从父是应该的。从不从夫，却也得瞧丈夫说得在不在理。夫死从子更是笑话啦。要是丈夫死时孩子只有三岁，他不听话还不是照揍？”陆菲青摇头叹道：“我这徒儿也真刁钻古怪，你想她干吗不肯带路？”骆冰道：“我想她意思是说，除非她爹叫她说，她才未嫁从父。可是李军门远在杭州，就算在这里，他也不会帮咱们。眼下只有从第二条上打主意啦。”陆菲青迟疑道：“第二条？她又没丈夫。”骆冰笑道：“那么咱们马上就给她找个丈夫。只消丈夫叫她领路，她便得既嫁从夫了。”
