Chapter 34 Chapter Thirty-Four

"Ding!" The sound of clinking wine glasses resounded in the cabin. Han Bai and Lan Zhiyuan drank the fine wine in their cups respectively. It was the first time for Han Bai to drink alcohol, and he couldn't bear it until it got into his throat. He tried not to spit out the wine, but he choked so much that even the water flowed out. Fan Liang, who was sitting beside him, laughed and said, "Special envoy! Before you came to the Central Plains, your subordinates told you that the wine in the North is much more pungent. Now you believe it!" Lan Zhiyuan said with a look of panic: "Envoy Pu, are you okay! Someone come! Get tea for the envoy to hangover."

Fang Yuan and guard Ma Li who were seated in the same seat also said with concern: "I entrust you to drink a cup of hot tea to warm your throat. It's all right now." Rou Rou, who was sitting beside Han Bai, said with concern: "I'm here to make sure you're all right!" Han Bai waved his hand and turned around, coughing, "No need for tea: good wine, all the wine in the Central Plains is good wine, our Goguryeo's... what..." Fan Liang smiled and said: "Special envoy! It's ginseng wine." Then he pointed to his head to Lan Zhiyuan and the other three, indicating that Han Bai's memory had not yet recovered.

Lan Zhiyuan and the three nodded in understanding. Han Baicai finally coughed, Fan Liangji filled another glass of wine for Han Bai, squinted his eyes and said with a sly smile: "My lord, you are famous all over the country for being good at drinking, otherwise the king would not have chosen you to come to heaven to make friends with all the dignitaries. Drink this cup quickly. Show your ability to drink." Lan Zhiyuan had just received a "Wannian Ginseng King" plant from Han Bai, and he was very grateful to Han Bai, but he couldn't bear it when he heard the words. The relationship between the boss and his subordinates might be like this, so he said, "Will Commissioner Park have a cup of tea first?"

Han Bai almost wanted to pinch Fan Liangji's old throat, but he had to put on a smile on his face, pretending to be arrogant and indifferent, but he could only let out a hoarse "proud smile", saying: "What's the use? Drinking tea, I, Han... Han... Pu Wen... Wen is the king of wine in our country, just now I am not used to the characteristics of this wine, so I capsized in the gutter, look at me!" He raised his glass and drank it all. The wine general's wind. Fan Liangji knew that he was sticking his inner strength into his throat, so he "poured" a glass of wine into his stomach, and said with a smile: "My lord! How does this wine taste compared to our ginseng wine?"

Han Bai was suppressing the taste of the wine in his stomach, and he was stunned when he heard the words: "The taste is extremely profound! Extremely profound!" Fan Liang knew that of course he couldn't explain why, so he deliberately teased him and said to Lan Zhiyuan: "Master Futai, we adults love to drink, the most important thing for you is to take care of your friends along the way, prepare wine to greet our adults." Lan Zhiyuan quickly responded: "Of course: of course!" Then he sighed: "It's a pity that Zuo Boyan, the 'god of wine' who was famous all over the capital in the past, is nowhere to be found. Your lord and guards will grow up and feast on you!"

Fang Wei reminded: "Old Xihua's official ship also has the 'Xianxiangpiao' brewed by a famous craftsman he invited..." Lan Zhiyuan slammed the table and said: "I almost forgot, I will arrive in Jiujiang later. The official ship that envoys you to transfer will have good wine to enjoy." Han Bai and Fan Liangji were stunned at the same time and said, "Official ship!" Lan Zhiyuan responded: "Your Majesty forgot to tell you two that the largest and safest official ship in Wuchang happened to be taken to Beijing by an elder from our residence who was rushing to take up his post, so I sent a letter to the official ship and left the official ship behind." In Jiujiang, and the lower officials are not allowed to leave the mansion without authorization, so I sent the adults and the head of the bodyguard to Jiujiang, and then I have to go back after transferring to the official ship. Along the way, there will be counselors to take care of everyone, and Ma Shoubei will be responsible for escorting them."

Ma Xiong touched the heavy gift that Fan Liangji gave him before entering the hall, and said respectfully: "If the special envoy and the head of the guards are not on our most comfortable and largest waiting boat, and the emperor becomes unhappy, we will be in trouble See through." Fang Yuan was also worried that these two bold "friends" would not be good enough to share the same boat with others, so he flattered and said, "Xihua loves to make friends the most, and with him greeting the three along the way, the Lan adults can rest assured." Fan Liangji asked in his heart, "Who is this Xihua's last name?"

Lan Zhiyuan said worriedly: "We all used to call him Xihua Lao. His surname is Chen Minglingfang. He is going to Beijing this time to take up an important position in the newly established six capitals. If he says a few nice words in front of the emperor, everything will be fine." It's much easier to handle." He has been an official for so long, so he knows how to wake up the interests of Fan Han and the two of them. Fan Liangji's eyes sparkled, he laughed and said, "There is no more wonderful arrangement than this." Overwhelmed with complacency, he patted Han Bai on the shoulder vigorously, gave him a strange smile and said, "We adults are also people who cherish flowers, so let them compare to see who knows the way of cherishing flowers best."

Lan Zhiyuan waited to be relieved, looked at the gorgeous Rourou with his eyes, and then at Han Bai, the "Xibei" special envoy, and laughed together with the laughter that men would understand, if Rourou was not here, They will laugh even harder. Han Bai endured the pain in his shoulder.Yixian's heart was beating incessantly.If Fan Liangji wanted to force him to openly seduce someone else's concubine, how should he deal with it? Under the heavy rain, thunder rumbled, and lightning flashed one after another outside the forest. Yi Yanmei was next to a big tree, letting the rain fall from the thick branches and leaves, dripping on her hair and body.

Although the world is big, she doesn't know where to go. Based on years of experience with Gan Luo, she vaguely guessed that Gan Luo would hide near Fanyang Lake, but she wasn't sure which city it was?which town?Or which village? Along the way, she kept leaving hints of the mountain city, but could this draw Gan Luo out?She wasn't sure at all.She didn't even know why she did it?With Ganluo's usual indifference, ruthlessness, and cruelty, is doing so a suicide act?But why did Qianluo let her go after being assassinated that night?It was this little hope that supported her to do this stupid thing.

"Long!" A thunderbolt exploded on the top of the forest, and Yi Yanmei was exhausted, and she slid helplessly on the tree root, leaning against the big tree, her chest heaving and falling, under the impact of various thoughts. Ever since she became one of the three masters in Qianluo Mountain City, Yi Yanmei, the "palm dancer" in the arena, has really been rampant, but at this moment, she only feels that she is a poor wretch. The lights from the houses in the distance symbolized a world completely different from hers. That other way of life, compared to the struggle and hatred in the rivers and lakes, made her feel bored from the bottom of her heart. "Chachacha!" The sound of footsteps from far to near woke her up from her melancholy. In the wind and rain, one tall and one short, with bamboo hats on their heads, two people in clothes approached from far away, and stopped when they came to the open space outside the forest. Just by looking at their steady and powerful steps, you can know that they are in the middle of the rivers and lakes. people. The shorter one looked down at a solid square stone next to him, and said, "Father! This is the Xiongjiajie, this is the place." With a sweet voice, it turned out to be a woman. Yi Yanmei's experience in the rivers and lakes told her that this letter from father and daughter had an unusual and secretive flavor, and her heart moved, she hid in a thick clump of leaves, under the cover of thunderstorms, and the petite Yi Yanmei always She is good at lightness kung fu, even if the opponent's kung fu is several times better than hers, it is difficult to detect her careful movements. The man called father said in a deep voice: "You stay here!" He walked into the forest and searched back and forth. Yi Yanmei watched the other party flitting in front of and behind her, feeling horrified, this person was considered cautious. The tall man searched around for a while before returning to the woman and said: "Just now, Dad felt like someone was spying on him, so it turned out that he was just suspicious." Yi Yanmei, who was hiding in the dark, was startled. This man outside the forest is undoubtedly a top-notch expert. Only a person of this level can be sensitive to other people's prying eyes. Who is the other party? The daughter sighed and said: "Since the news of the eagle knife came from the elder brother, our Ma family has changed into another world. Every step has to be considered excessive, and we are worried all day long. Is this worth it? Brother, he..." My father said affirmatively: "Anyone who has achieved great success will go through all kinds of disasters and make various sacrifices. If he can learn the secret of the eagle knife and pass on the eagle's legacy, then who in the world will not admire my Ma family? It is not impossible to sit on the throne of the traitor Zhu Yuanzhang, and when we succeed, we will know that all the sacrifices and sufferings now are worth it." Yi Yanmei in Linnei's heart was shocked, knowing who Linwai's father and daughter were, they were the well-known Majiabao owner Ma Renming and his beloved daughter Ma Xinying. Ma Xinying replied: "Father taught me the lesson. Instead of living an ordinary life, it's better to do something great. It's also worthy of the life bestowed on us by God, but the eldest brother..." Ma Renming became excited, and said: "Sheng'er sees that Yang Feng is taking care of him, and they have no evidence, so what can they do with Sheng'er. There is one thing that Dad never mentioned to you, that is, there was once a brilliant fortune teller." It is said that there are dragon patterns on my palms, which is the image of the emperor's ninety-five years. Now that the eagle sword, ghost, and god envoy have fallen into the hands of my father, do you think I am destined to be the emperor? Doesn't the world belong to my Ma family? Look, someone is coming." At this time, even Yi Yanmei in Linnei heard the news that someone was approaching quickly. Ma Renming said: "Is Brother Yang Feng here?" Yang Feng's laughter came and said: "Brother Ma has been waiting for a long time!" The figure flashed, and Yang Feng, who was soaked all over, stood beside the Ma family father and daughter, and his famous pair of bare feet stepped in the rain. Ma Renming said: "My little brother is just here too!" Yi Yanmei didn't dare to look outside, for fear of arousing Ma Renming's vigilance again. "Clang!" The angry cries of Ma Renming and Ma Xinying came at the same time. Yang Feng laughed loudly and said: "Brother Ma's skills are better than before, and he has not yet taught Yang to be sincere, but Brother Ma's defense against me has really taught Yang a big accident!" Ma Renming said angrily: "We are brothers, why did you attack me as soon as you arrived?" Yang Feng sneered and said, "I'm still talking about a brother. I don't know if Yang will say anything after I get the eagle knife. What kind of brother is this? It's useless for me to work hard for your precious son." Ma Xinying tremblingly said: "How do you know..." Ma Renming shouted, "Xinying!" Yang Feng laughed and said: "It doesn't matter if you say it or not, now everyone in the world knows that the eagle knife is in the hands of your father and daughter, and your precious son was also taken away by the number one expert in northern Tibet, the Red Sun Dharma King. Big, it seems that there is no hiding place for you, Ma Renming." "Clang clang!" There were dozens of sounds of weapons clashing outside the forest, Ma Xinying's exclamation and Ma Renming's panting sounds, it seems that the two father and daughter together are no match for Yang Feng. Yang Feng laughed loudly and said: "Brother Ma, you have been huddled in Majiabao for a long time, even if you practice hard day and night, you can't beat Yang, a vagabond who makes his home in the corners of the world and visits all the masters in the world as his way of practicing martial arts. , back then your martial arts were inferior to mine, and today the gap is even greater." Ma Renming said bitterly: "I misread you. As soon as I heard the eagle knife, I wanted to keep it for myself, and I didn't care about any friendship." Yang Feng sneered and said: "For the treasure that people in the world dream of, don't talk about the friendship between friends, even the love between husband and wife, the love between father and son, what is it worth to be named after you? As long as I kill you two, I will kill you." Bury it in a wasteland, Wulin thought you were hiding, then I, Yang Feng, can find out the secret of the Eagle Knife safely. Ha..." "Clang, clang, clang!" The sound of weapons clashing could not stop outside the forest. Ma Renming shouted, "Ying'er! Let's go!" Ma Xinying cried out sadly: "Father!" Ma Renming shouted angrily: "Don't leave yet! Do you want to die together?" Yi Yanmei in the Linnei was horrified, this Yang Feng's martial arts were so strong, even the well-known Master of Majiabao and his daughter could not match him, so she couldn't help but look out. Ma Xinying's bamboo hat fell off, and she ran towards the dense forest in a panic, while Ma Renming used his sword to block Yang Feng's fierce attack with all his might. Yi Yanmei thought to herself that Ma Renming was a good father after all. In a critical situation, she would rather sacrifice herself to save her daughter's life. Just thinking of this, Ma Renming yelled: "Ying'er, go, don't let the villain die." Get the treasured sword on your body." Ma Xinying, who had just rushed into the forest, was shocked all over, she was so shocked that she couldn't lift her breath, and fell to the ground. Yi Yanmei was stunned and knew the reason. Sure enough, Yang Feng shouted loudly, forced Ma Renming to leave with a few crutches in a row, and rushed towards the forest. Yang Fengyue entered the forest, Ma Renming outside fled in the opposite direction, and disappeared into the rain in an instant. Ma Xinying, who had disheveled hair and looks like a ghost, just got up from the mud when Yang Feng swept up from behind and swung at Ma Xinying. Ma Xinying seemed to have lost her soul, she did not block, but ran forward desperately. "Peng!" Ma Xinying fell on her crutches and fell into a pile of bushes. Yang Feng rushed over, ignoring the suspicion of men and women at all, took off her clothes, searched carefully, after a while his whole body shook, and said: "No! I fell into this traitor's trick!" Flying out of the forest, Chase Ma Renming in the direction where he fled. Yi Yanmei breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, and came to Ma Xinying's body. When Ma Xinying was searched by Yang Feng, she turned over, her eyes, ears, mouth and nose were all oozing with blood, her eyes were weakly opened, and her breath was like gossamer. Knowing that Da Luo Jinxian could not save her life, Yi Yanmei squatted beside her and said in a low voice, "Miss Ma, what do you want to say?" Tears kept falling on Ma Xinying's bloodless face, mixed with blood In the rain, it melted, and the mouth trembled slightly. Yi Yanmei leaned her ear closer, and heard Ma Xinying's weak voice: "Father! You are so cruel!" Feeling sad, Yi Yanmei wiped away the tears from the corners of Ma Xinying's eyes with her fingertips, and sighed: "Miss Ma, rest in peace! Everything in this world has nothing to do with you."
