Chapter 45 Chapter 45: Eagle Knife Reappearance

The horn of retreat resounded through the wilderness. The enemy comes like a tide, and recedes like a tide. Ling Zhantian, who was looking down from the mountain peak, was puzzled, the enemy had clearly grasped his whereabouts, why did he retreat suddenly?He was so tired that he spent the whole night setting all kinds of death traps on the slopes leading to the peak, but now it was useless at all. Looking at the direction of their retreat, it was not Changde Mansion, but they bypassed Changde and retreated towards the Yangtze River. Even if the reinforcements came, with the strength of the enemy, there was no need to avoid them, even he became confused for a while.

Gritting his teeth fiercely, he swept down the mountain and rushed at full speed to Shangguan Ying's hiding place. Han Bai passed Xu Yeyue's elegant and quiet small building Xianggui, walked along the gravel road, passed through the back garden of the small building, and passed a small stone pavilion with a square single eaves and sharp edges. There is a large-scale building inside the wall, with five entrances and three rooms, with thick beams and columns, and the four characters "Jinshishutang" engraved on the main entrance, simple and powerful, very imposing. There is no one around, and there is no feeling of being watched, which is very different from the scene of the Outer Mansion's sentries.

The middle door of the study hall was wide open, and Han Bai put aside Bai Hua's affairs, and stepped in boldly. First, there was a foyer, then there was a front patio, a hall full of calligraphy, painting and books, and then there was a back patio and another back hall with the door closed. There are side doors on both sides of the study room, and there is a library inside. For a while, I really don't know where the ghost king and his precious daughter are.He practiced profound arts silently, observed the movement, and suddenly felt something, and walked straight to the long-shaped back patio.

The rear courtyard is at least twice as large as the front courtyard. There are open corridors on both sides. The eaves and columns around the courtyard are all square stone pillars, covered with reliefs. The figures and animals are vividly shaped. One can tell at a glance that they describe the stories in the Buddhist scriptures. As for the content? , as far as he, Han Bai, knew. The Huatang with the empty back patio is like another Huatang, with a higher floor, and the stone steps in the corridors on both sides lead to the room. Before Han Bai stepped up the stone steps, the closed door was pushed open from the inside with a "Yiya". A peerless beauty who had been dressed up deliberately, smiled and saluted, "Han Bai! Come in!"

Of course it was Xu Yeyue, the beauty of Yanguan Jingshi. Han Bai had never seen her dress up so deliberately, and she was wearing a gorgeous women's dress again, with a long skirt sweeping the floor, a cloak that almost reached the hem of the skirt, and a bow button on her chest. The cloak is white on the outside and red on the inside, with a light yellow shirt embroidered with double butterflies, and the shiny hair accessories on the high bun, the charming charm that combines the charming style of girls and mature women's dress, as well as the exquisite embossed lines. Han Bai's eyes magnified due to his graceful figure, and he couldn't close his eyes.

It turns out that when Yue'er deliberately seduces a man, she can turn into such a graceful, elegant, and beautiful woman. Xu Yeyue gave him a coquettish look and said: "The Grand Scholar, hurry up and come in to see Father." Han Bai was stunned and said, "What is Yue'er talking about?" Xu Yeyue smiled and said: "What a fool, now everyone in the capital knows that Uncle Zhu has appointed you as Dongge University Bachelor, and you are a high-ranking official of the fifth rank. Only you don't know, and you still don't get involved." She Seeing Han Bai staring at her without turning his eyes, he felt joy in his heart. He deserved to dress up for him deliberately, even his smile was sweeter than usual.

Han Bai scratched his head, then followed her into the Huatang in a daze, but he didn't care what Zhu Yuanzhang did to him. There are tall bookcases all around, full of thread-bound books, bamboo books and silk books. At the end of the world of this scroll, there is a bed, on which the ghost king lays on his side in a nonchalant and natural way, next to a high pillow, and concentrates on reading the book. Han Bai stepped up to him, and Fuzhi knelt down in his heart, and shouted respectfully: "Master Yuezhang, please accept three respects from my son-in-law!" Xu Yeyue didn't expect him to do this, she was ashamed and happy, she turned around and raised her hands to cover her face, stomped her feet and said, "Damn Han Bai! You're dead."

The Ghost King laughed, put down his book, Da Ma Jin Dao sat up, and shouted: "Good boy! From today on, Yue'er will be your wife, marry and follow your husband, and she will be a member of the Han family from now on." Then proudly said: "Three books and six rituals, how can I say nothing." Han Bai was overjoyed, knocked his head nine times, and said solemnly: "God is above, if I, Han Bai, have a negative moon, teach me to die by piercing my heart with ten thousand arrows. I promise to love her for the rest of my life and teach her to be so happy forever." Happy! It's all... hey! It's all so fun."

Xu Yeyue turned around early after hearing half of it, and her pretty eyes shot out the sea-like affection, but when he said the last sentence, he couldn't help but "puchi" coquettishly, came to Han Bai's side in embarrassment, and turned to Xu Yeyue. Ruowu knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "Yue'er has surrendered, I won't dare to make you angry anymore." After bowing down, she suddenly stood up, desperately sat on the edge of the bed, threw herself into Xu Ruowu's arms, and let out a loud voice burst into tears. Xu Ruowu hugged her tightly, patted her fragrant shoulder, said: "My virtuous son-in-law, please get up." Pointing to the grand teacher's chair beside the bed, he said: "Sit!"

After Han Bai sat down, he sighed empty-handedly: "Everyone thinks that this child is a golden branch and jade leaf, enjoying all the wealth and glory, but in fact, her life is very hard. She lost her mother when she was born, and for the sake of breath, I have loved her since I was a child." She trained hard, but fortunately, all of this has become a thing of the past. Ever since she became sensible, I have never seen her so energetic and joyous as these days. After she came back this morning, she actually wore my caressing clothes for the first time. Yun Zao embroidered the women's dress for her, and she stayed with me to read books all morning, does my son-in-law understand my joy?"

Han Bai looked at Xu Yeyue, who was gradually calming down like a bird, and was so moved by their father-daughter relationship that he couldn't speak for a while, but if he said that life was hard, Xu Yeyue couldn't even beat him up. Mother's foundling. Xu Ruowu raised Xu Yeyue's pretty face, and said with a dumb smile: "Yue'er must not obey my father's advice, it will make my father lose a lot of fun." Xu Yeyue twisted her delicate body.Buyi said: "Father and Han Bai are not good people, they wept sadly, and forced him." Pushing the ghost king hard, he stood up angrily, sat down on the other chair, and gave Han Bai a blank look. Said: "Is it wrong to scold you? What's so interesting." Then a slight smile appeared on the pink face covered with tears, and he lowered his head. Even the ghost king was stunned by the touching scene. Han Bai and Xu Ruowu looked at each other, and then laughed. Xu Yeyue acted coquettishly again, but couldn't help but secretly laughed. The Ghost King stood up and said, "Come on! Come and see something interesting with me." The two looked at each other, but they didn't know what the ghost king was going to take them to see. The ghost king opened the back door and stepped into the large garden surrounded by high walls behind the Huatang. Deep in the courtyard, there was a small stone house. Xu Yeyue whispered: "That's Dad's bedroom, except for Qiniang and me, no one is allowed to enter, but Yue'er seldom goes there, what's so interesting about just such a stone bed?" Han Bai was astonished, he never thought that the residence of the majestic ghost king was so back to basics. When approaching the stone house, Han Bai suddenly stopped with a "huh" and his expression became very strange. Xu Yeyue hurriedly took his arm, and said with concern: "What's the matter? Could it be that you were frightened by those bastards from the Xining faction?" Han Bai shook his head to express that he was fine, thinking to himself that they already knew what happened this morning. The ghost king also stopped, and said calmly: "Did your son-in-law have a special feeling?" Han Bai nodded and said, "It's really strange. There seems to be something in the stone room that makes me feel familiar and kind." The ghost king pondered for a while, and said: "Maybe you are destined, come in!" Push the door and enter. The two of them followed him into the room, and the two zhang square area was spotless, except for a stone bed, there were no chairs to sit on.Their gazes were almost simultaneously on the only knife hanging on the empty wall. Xu Yeyue was just wondering why there were more knives protruding from the originally empty walls, but Han Bai was shocked, pointing to the simple thick-backed knife on the wall, he opened his mouth wide, but couldn't speak. Xu Ruowu watched the two of them for a while, turned around and said with a smile, "That's right! This is the Thick Back Saber, a personal weapon that was placed in the Han family's arsenal and passed on to Grandmaster Ying a hundred years ago." Qi Changzheng, Zhai Yushi, Gan Luo, Xie Yimen's "Hiding the Sword in a Smile", the three major protectors of Shang Liangwai, and the seven major dock masters all gathered on a hill outside Changde Mansion, monitoring Yingfei and the enemy army mainly composed of Semuren from afar Withdraw to the Yangtze River. The coalition forces of nearly Qiannujiao Gang and Xiehemen hid in several strategically slanted jungles to prevent the enemy's dishonesty from counterattacking. Liang Qiumo will lead the reconnaissance cavalry to track and monitor their retreat, and set a line of sight for this operation along the Yangtze River to keep an eye on their movements and the government's movements. Qian Luo is a master of the patriarch of the underworld. His status is respected. Everyone respects him deeply and treats him as a disciple.Now that his internal energy is fully restored, just standing there casually, he already has the air of a generation of suzerain. Liang Qiumo flew over from the back, saluted Qianluo first, and then greeted the masters of the Xieyi Sect. He said: "No one from Zhan Yu is missing. It seems that he has been informed and returned to Dongting to meet Hu Jie. meet." Everyone frowned, Hu Jie would be even more powerful if he was assisted by the "Jiao Jiao Team" which consisted of more than a dozen masters including the super character Zhan Yu, and nearly a hundred people in the martial arts world. The chief law of Xieyimen, the highly respected "Dingtian Stick" Zheng Guangyan said solemnly: "If Zheng is Hu Jie, he will strengthen the defense of Nujiao Island, and then let the Yellow River Gang who has collusion with him take over your gang's territory one by one. And business. As long as the economic lifeline of the Gui Gang is cut off, and the Gui Gang is now severely weakened and temporarily unable to counterattack Nujiao Island, within half a year, the entire Yangtze River will fall into the hands of Hu Jie. At that time, he wants to rebel. The money will be much higher.” Zhai Yushi smiled and said: "Thank you, Mr. Zheng, for your concern. Money is not a problem. Over the past ten years, we have bought and saved some money. If there is a problem with your family, please feel free to speak up. Don't be polite." If Zheng Guangyan pays special attention to economic issues, it may be because he has the same problems. The head of Wu Wang "Fire Thunderbolt" Luo Mashan smiled and said: "Master Fengmen ordered us to join the gang for the time being. We are our own family members. How can we be polite? Let's talk about this matter later!" Everyone laughed and felt relaxed. Gan Luo sighed suddenly: "Just looking at Zhan Yu's timely withdrawal, we know that the foreign coalition led by Fang Yeyu had an agreement with Hu Weiyong. Once Hu Jie gains an absolute advantage, they will temporarily withdraw from this battle. This shows that they have a detailed plan on how to carve up Daming." Qi Changzheng sneered and said: "The demon girl underestimated my Nujiao Gang too much. For more than ten years, my gang has taken root in Dongting. It has great potential. How can a newcomer like her understand it." Gan Luo scolded: "Don't be arrogant in the long march. With Fang Yeyu's shrewdness, how could he not inform the demon girl Nujiao Gang in detail? This time she suddenly withdrew with all her efforts. She must have recognized Hu Jie's disloyalty to the court. , so let's fight for both losers, and when the world is torn apart in the future, they can enjoy the benefits." Qi Changzheng said in embarrassment: "Father taught me a good lesson!" "boom!" A firework exploded in the distant sky. Zhai Yushi was overjoyed and said, "Good! We found the gang leader and second uncle." Han Bai was stunned and said, "Yue Zhang also said that Yang Feng didn't look for you." The ghost king smiled and said: "I'm ignorant, but I don't say anything. What I say is absolutely true. Of course, it is an exception to deal with my Yue'er. Sigh! Yang Feng was robbed of the eagle knife in Baijia Village outside the capital last night. The masters from all sides found their whereabouts. Although they broke through and escaped, they suffered fatal internal injuries. They managed to reach me and said a word, then fell dead immediately, and this knife also came into my hand." Xu Yeyue asked curiously: "What is it?" The ghost king said lightly: "I understand!" Han Bai asked in astonishment, "What did he understand?" The Ghost King smiled wryly and said, "Then you'll have to go to the underworld to ask him. My son-in-law! I'm interested in playing with this knife." Han Bai was taken aback, and kept waving his hands, saying, "What can you do, boy. I'm just worried that someone will come to snatch the Eagle Knife every day, so I don't have to sleep, and I still have time to serve Yue'er." The ghost king stretched the sky and said with a long smile: "Okay! Seeing that the treasure is not greedy, you are the real hero, so let it be placed here, let me release the news tomorrow, and let those who are brave enough to play. Solve the problem of Yue'er's life. After the big event, I felt nothing but relaxed, and I really wanted to find someone to exercise my muscles, but I was afraid that the mediocrity who waited too long would be vulnerable, but fortunately Brother Li is here, why don't you come in and enjoy the eagle sword together." Hearing the last two sentences, Han Bai and Xu Yeyue's expressions changed at the same time. Li Chimei's melodious and charming voice resounded in the garden outside the house: "Brother Xu's treasure whip is not old, Li is very pleased, at first he thought that after a small improvement in skill, he could hide it from Brother Xu's ears, but Li was wrong. " Han Bai was about to call his mother, but Li Chimei was like his nemesis, if not for the presence of the ghost king, he would have dragged Xu Yeyue away, and hurriedly moved to Xu Yeyue to stand up and protect him. The Ghost King turned around with his hands behind his back and looked at the Eagle Knife again, he said with a smile: "Brother Li Tianmei Ningyin has achieved great success, it can indeed catch anyone's eyes and ears, but it can't hide Xu's heart." Li Chimei laughed and said: "Well said!" Before the lingering sound was over, Li Chimei, who was pretty and seductive, walked into the room, stared at Xu Yeyue first, her eyes burst into surprise, she nodded and praised: "Miss Yeyue is naturally charming , this kid Han Bai is really blessed." Xu Yeyue looked him up and down with those seductive and evil eyes, and felt uncomfortable all over, as sad as if she had taken off her clothes because of the other party's eyes, she hid behind Han Bai, and said angrily: "Uncle Li, don't you?" You are allowed to look at people like that!" Li Chimei was startled and said: "Just for Uncle Li's words, no matter what happens in the future, Li Chimei will never hurt Miss Yeyue." Han Bai was overwhelmed, Li Chimei was worthy of being a top contemporary expert, his bearing was far beyond ordinary people, or he could only be described as a villainous hero. Xu Ruowu happily said: "Yue'er still thank Uncle Li for his love." Xu Yeyue moved out from behind Han Bai, turned her body slightly, and said softly, "Uncle Xie Li!" She then shrank back. Li Chimei sighed: "Such a beauty, I really feel sorry for him." Turning to Han Bai, he said: "Brother Han has made great progress in magic skills, I am gratified. It is not surprising that Xie Zhu fell in love with you that day, but even he is mean and witty. The gracious Zhu Yuanzhang also looks at you differently. If our strategy is difficult to develop, we cannot but surprise us." Then he smiled slightly and said: "But what really makes Li admire is to cut off the seven emotions and six desires and achieve the Cihang sword. Qin Mengyao, a fairy with a clear sword heart, also fell in love with you, Li Mou had nothing to say." With Xu Ruowu's cultivation level, when Li Chimei said that Qin Mengyao had fallen in love with Han Bai, she still couldn't help but look at Han Bai in amazement, and said, "What?" Xu Yeyue's eyes widened even more, and she couldn't believe it: "It really happened?" The love affair between Qin Mengyao and Han Bai was extremely secret, except for the few closest people, no one in the Jianghu knew about it. Li Chimei's words at this moment were naturally shocking. One must know that Qin Mengyao's identity is aloof. It's just that she broke the taboo and became the descendant of the two holy places to openly set foot in the rivers and lakes for the first time in three hundred years. To challenge the two Tibetans head-on, she has become the most outstanding master of the two holy places in the three hundred years. In addition to her appearance, she is as beautiful as a fairy, and she is so beautiful that she is an unattainable model of perfect women. How can anyone believe that such a fairy who has cultivated since she was a child and waited to be a monk, fell in love with the prodigal son who loves flirting, behaves and speaks recklessly, and sometimes is even reckless. Han Bai scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "Brother Li, it's not for my Han Bai's sake, but for Xie Yu's sake, to accumulate some morals, and don't just go on stage and expose people's privacy everywhere." Xu Ruowu laughed and said, "Good boy! I still underestimated you." Xu Yeyue said fiercely in his ear: "If you don't tell the truth about all your romantic history, Yue'er will never forgive you." Li Chimei smiled apologetically at Han Bai, leisurely came to Xu Ruowu's side, and stood side by side with him to look up at the eagle knife with sheath hanging on the wall. Xu Ruowu said indifferently: "Brother Li, what did you see?" Li Chimei's slender face like a woman smiled wryly: "Brother Xu is too flattering Li, if I can see through the Eagle Knife at a glance, I don't need to find the ghost king's mansion, see when Brother Xu is free, and calculate the relationship between us brothers It's an old problem, he will become a Buddha immediately with his natural nature, and Yingyuan can also roll up his clothes and retire in honor." Xu Ruowu looked at him in surprise and said, "When did Brother Li become so patient?" Li Chimei raised her hand slightly, and there was a roar of dragons and tigers, and the sword was full of aura. The most legendary and mysterious color in the world, the incomparable thick-backed sword immediately came out of its sheath and fell into his hand. When he just held the handle of the knife, his whole body trembled, he closed his eyes, let out a low whistle, gradually turned high-pitched, then stopped suddenly, opened his eyes again, a terrifying electric light shot out from the eyes, and threw it on the knife. Xu Ruowu smiled and said: "Brother Li, if you are interested, you can take it for fun, and it doesn't matter if you don't return it to me." Han Bai who was standing next to him was dumbfounded. The two people's exchange was unexpected. Even the eagle knife that everyone in the world wants to keep for themselves, which is said to contain the great secret of immortality and enlightenment, can be given as a gift at will. stuff. Li Chimei looked up to the sky with a long smile, and moved the hand holding the knife forward, but somehow, the eagle knife returned safely to the sheath hanging on the wall without making a sound. Han Bai felt a chill in his heart. Now that his magic power has advanced greatly, he can barely see Li Chimei's movements, but the speed is so fast, as if he hadn't moved at all. Xu Yeyue stiffened next to his delicate body, obviously shocked in her heart, couldn't help feeling pity, stretched her hands back, and hugged her small waist tightly, letting her lie on her back. Her soft and elastic breasts lifted his spirits and increased his courage. He shouted: "Brother Li, why didn't you take it back and give that old thief Hongri bald?" The king of Japan and France will fight for life and death, but if it is not for the red sun, Qin Mengyao would not be willing to commit himself to marry him. Li Chimei backed away quickly, came in front of Han Bai, and punched Han Bai's chest with her elbow. Xu Ruowu laughed, but didn't know what to do, so he slapped Chimei in with his backhand. Li Chimei had no choice but to retract the elbow bump on Han Bai, and moved sideways, avoiding the palm of the ghost king, and reached the center of the stone room.The four people are divided into three groups, and the finished word is in shape. Xu Ruowu withdrew his palm, turned around and said with a smile: "If Brother Li hurts Xu's son-in-law in front of me, Xu Ruowu will immediately admit defeat." Xu Yeyue flashed out from behind Han Bai, puffed up her chest to protect Han Bai, her pretty face turned pale with anger, and said angrily, "How can Uncle Li sneak attack casually, how can he be considered a hero." Li Chimei sighed: "A match between masters, there is no sneak attack at all. Although Yue'er and I hit it off, I hate that Li has to tell you cruelly that Han Bai is the fifth person on our must-kill list. , Yue'er blames Uncle Li, there is nothing he can do about it." Just as Han Bai was about to answer, Xu Yeyue turned his anger into a smile, and said leisurely: "Uncle Li, just try it, if Bai Lang is a short-lived person, father would not choose him as Yue'er's husband, is this also a trick of good fortune?" Woolen cloth?" Like a father, like a daughter, Xu Yeyue seems innocent and not deeply involved in the world, but in fact she smiles lightly, hides her sword, and uses the ghost king Wushuang's mysterious physiognomy to cause psychological pressure on Li Chimei. Planting a destiny is hard to break, but Han Bai's annoying thoughts can't be helped. He already had a chance to kill Han Bai, but this kid is still living happily, which is the proof. Li Chimei exclaimed inwardly, she spread her arms and said with a smile: "It's useless to talk about this matter, we just have to wait and see!" Han Bai moved Xu Yeyue behind him with his hand, and said with a smile: "Brother Li is really good at joking, I heard that Hero Lang is looking for you everywhere, so you'd better invite Pang Ban here as soon as possible so that he can protect you , so as not to be slaughtered before fighting Yue Zhang." Hearing Lang Fanyun's name, a terrifying look flashed across the Ghost King's eyes, and his expression was complicated. Li Chimei was not angry at all, and calmly revealed his charming smile with a strange charm, and said lightly: "Someone in this matter has no intention of arguing, if we insist that we don't care about the waves, no one will believe it. Yes, it ranks second to Lang Fanyun in the must-kill list." Xu Ruowu looked up to the sky with a long smile and said, "Well ranked! I just wonder if Zhu Yuanzhang ranks third?" Li Chimei said happily: "How can a mere heart be hidden from a close friend like Brother Xu?" Tie Qingyi's voice came from outside the garden and said: "Ghost King, please forgive Tsing Yi for not protecting her well and allowing someone to break into the forbidden area." Xu Ruowu shouted: "What's the crime, please take off the Tsing Yi, and don't be rude to the guests." Tie Qingyi was ordered to retreat. Xu Yeyue pressed Han Bai's shoulders with her slender hands, poked her head out and said, "Who is the fourth one, Yue'er wants to know!" Li Chimei is angry and funny, for some reason, he has been cold-blooded and ruthless all his life, but just now when he saw Xu Yeyue for the first time, there was a kind of love and pity that even he didn't understand, so he acted like that He promises nothing but harm.Just now, he didn't want to kill Han Bai, but to use him to break the deadlock where there was no room to attack after he came in. If the ghost king showed that his strength was slightly inferior to his, he would immediately kill the ghost king with all his strength. The seemingly unremarkable slap actually forced him to give up the attack on Han Bai and deal with it with all his strength, so he had to redefine his plan. Xu Ruowuxian also couldn't guess who Li Chimei's fourth person was going to kill, so she put her hands behind her back and said nothing. Li Chimei looked at Xu Yeyue's beautiful big eyes full of curiosity, and her heart softened. When she was about to say something, Han Bai's expression suddenly became mighty and murderous, and he sighed: "The first The four are Mengyao, right? Let's do it! Unless brother Li can kill me, I can't leave safely." For Qin Mengyao, Li Chimei is no longer afraid of him. Surprise flashed across Xu Ruowu's and Li Chi's charming eyes at the same time, for the powerful magic of the dark kind of demon. The ghost king shouted: "My son-in-law, wait a minute, let me handle this matter." Xu Yeyue also said jealously: "Han Bai! Calm down!" Han Bai touched her fragrant back with his backhand, patted her twice and said: "If I know someone wants to hurt Yue'er, I will do the same." Xu Yeyue immediately turned her anger into a sweet smile and kissed the back of his neck. The King of Ghosts and Li Chimei looked at each other with a smile when they saw her daughter's attitude, as if they had been friends for many years. Li Chimei said softly: "Li has waited for the chance to see brother Xu again, and it has been more than ten years, why wait a few more days, so that this game of fighting for world hegemony can be more interesting, what do you think, brother Xu?" Xu Ruowu looked up to the sky and laughed, full of lofty ambition and indescribable joy. After saying "yes" three times, he said coldly: "Brother Li just wants to wait until Zhu Yuanzhang's three-day birthday! Don't blame Xu Mowu Let’s talk first, maybe Xu will come up at a certain time. Let’s find a few people from your side to sacrifice the battle flag first.” Li Chimei laughed, and said happily: "It's really fun to fight Brother Xu. If Brother Xu still has time to find people and visit friends after dealing with the Red Sun Dharma King, you might as well have fun. Please!" Suddenly, he withdrew Outside the door, it disappeared like turning into gas, that speed was more terrifying than ghosts. Xu Ruowu looked up to the sky with a long smile, and sent his voice far away: "Brother Li! No more!" Turning to Han Bai and Xu Yeyue, he said happily: "Yue'er has settled down, and old friends are visiting from afar. What do you want?"
