Chapter 17 Chapter Sixteen Playing the Dragon and the Phoenix

When he arrived at Guolao Mansion, Longying reported his name and asked to see Duanmu Ling by name. This was the best way he could come up with to find her, and at worst he should ask the right place. The doorman was stunned by his name like thunder, and he didn't dare to be negligent, so he rushed to report, and soon a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper came to greet him, and said: "Miss Duanmu has not returned yet, I don't know if she will come back today. But The old man is at home right now, and the villain is here to invite Lord Ying into the central hall to have a little friendship with the landlord."

Longying didn't expect that the title of "Eagle Lord" would be spread so far, and he was disappointed by Duanmuling's unfathomable fairy trail. Mood, enter with the housekeeper of Difu. Entering the main gate of the mansion, facing the brick screen wall, there is an entrance on each side. The butler led Longying to turn left and go south to enter the middle courtyard. The courtyard is a layout commonly known as "three palaces and six courtyards". Each courtyard is not only self-contained, but also interconnected.Among them, the middle courtyard is the most exquisite, with wood carvings, brick carvings and colored paintings, creating a simple and vigorous artistic conception.

Di Renjie greeted the guests on the stone steps, and led him into the spacious main hall where the guests and the host sat down. The maid served the tea and left the hall, leaving the two of them alone. Di Renjie is at least 60 years old this year, but he looks like a man of about 40 years old. He has a clear appearance, a radiant spirit, flexible eyes, a dignified demeanor, five locks of beard, a strong character, and a radiant look. I adore you.It is rare that he has a kind and gentle attitude, but his sharp words are hard to resist. Although he is an understatement, it also makes Long Ying secretly startled.

After tea, Di Renjie said: "Ms. Duanmu knew that Mr. Long would visit today, but she didn't say anything. It's puzzling. Although the lady is as beautiful as a fairy, she never pretends to talk to the handsome man who admires her, but to Mr. Long But he was very careful, not only followed me to the Bafang Pavilion to watch the battle, but also took the initiative to help Mr. Long, which puzzled the old man, and Mr. Long taught me." Longying has nothing to say, did he tell him that his own demon seed was detected by her?He had no choice but to say: "The heart of a fairy is unpredictable. I'm afraid the old man will have to ask her personally to see if she is willing to open the mouth of the fairy."

Di Renjie laughed dumbly and said: "It's such a saying that the heart of a fairy is unpredictable, and it can be completely deduced. The old man once asked Princess Taiping about your origin, and the princess asked the old man to ask the Holy One, that is to teach the old man not to ask. It's just that I always Curious, I want to find out everything, so I had to ask Brother Long directly. Don’t blame me for being superficial, I only have good feelings for you, and I have no malice. What happened this morning proves that I am a member of my generation .” Longying was confused and said: "What happened this morning?"

Di Renjie smiled and said: "Last night, the princess came to the old man late at night and told Wu Chengsi that he wanted to frame the King of Luling. The old man knew that the situation was serious, so he quickly contacted someone who was qualified to speak, and planned to strike first in the morning. Didn't you know that the princess sent someone to know this morning?" The old man said that the matter had been resolved, and we waited and watched. Sure enough, Wu Chengsi did not say a word for the whole morning. Cheng Si withdraws this matter." Then he looked at him intently, and said word by word: "Little brother, why should you make him submit?"

Longying returned his sharp eyes and said, "Threat!" Di Renjie remained motionless, and said, "It's just a threat?" Long Ying couldn't help but smile from the corner of his mouth, and said: "There is still blackmail!" The two looked at each other for a short while, laughing at the same time, choking back tears. Di Renjie gasped and said, "Little brother is really wonderful. Oh! How did you get mixed up with Lai Junchen?" Long Ying said with a wry smile: "It's hard to explain this matter." Di Renjie stared at him for a moment, then shook his head and sighed: "I'm afraid I'll have to serve you with a severe punishment, my little brother may be willing to reveal a word or a half."

Long Ying took the opportunity to ask: "Is that fellow Lai Junchen dead?" Di Renjie said: "Brother, why do you care about him? Do you know how many people have lost their homes and lost their homes because of his beatings? The reversal of the case is of great importance, and nothing can be lost. As long as it is proved that the biggest case is an unjust case, even the Holy One will not Law suppressing hundreds of thousands of other cases is also the possibility of unjust cases. At that time, the dead can be buried, those who are dismissed can return to their original jobs, and those who have been displaced can return to their places of residence. This old man is obliged to seek justice for the wronged.”

Longying respectfully said, "It should be so." Di Renjie returned to the original topic, and said: "In the past dynasties, there has been a practice of recommending wise men. Today, the Holy Majesty has made it a routine, and countless people have become officials. But like a little brother, he entered the court as a hermit and was treated by the Holy Majesty." The ceremony of the state guest, but it makes people puzzled. Who recommends the little brother?" Long Ying leaned over and said in a low voice: "It's the Holy Majesty himself, the old man should not tell anyone, if you don't believe it, you can ask the Holy Majesty."

The two looked at each other and laughed wildly in unison, laughing harder this time. Di Renjie sighed: "My little brother is indeed a wonderful person. If I hadn't seen your upright face, I would not be able to sleep well in the future. Come! Let this old man send my little brother out of the house." Long Ying hurriedly said: "How dare you bother the old man, the boy knows the way." Di Renjie said: "You have to take another way out of the mansion." Longying wondered, "Why didn't you follow the same path?" Di Renjie smiled wryly and said: "Because only by going that way, the old man's savage woman can ambush you. Don't worry, brother, she only uses a bamboo sword, and it will be fine if you hit her neck."

※※※ Di Renjie led Long Ying to the South Garden, and deliberately raised his voice: "Go through the round gate, and turn left is the gate to the outer street." Long Ying hurriedly said: "Old man, please go back, I want to enjoy the scenery in the garden along the way." Di Renjie blinked and went back. Long Ying thought to himself that he said he was a wonderful person, but in fact their father and daughter were even more wonderful. He glanced at the round hole door and felt amused in his heart. The little witch knows how to find a place. Who would have thought that there was an ambush in Guolao's mansion? , then she can show it around.As for himself, he suddenly got naughty, and pretended to walk towards the cave door casually. When he reached the position where he felt something, he retreated, slapped his forehead and said to himself: "I really have no memory, I missed the top." hat." The little witch hiding behind the cave door immediately accelerated her breathing, showing that she was angry and nervous. In his childhood, he faced Du Ao's disciples who were much older than him. Under Du Ao's protection, no one bullied him, but if he wanted to find someone to play with, he didn't have to think about it. within.Now there is Qiao Renya, who is younger than him, although this delicate and delicate beauty should not be bad in singing and dancing, but playing with him must be difficult for her.Only the little witch is a natural playaholic, so you don't have to play with her if you don't want to. She goes around flirting and fighting, playing in a variety of ways, which just fills up his childhood regrets. After a while, he arrived in front of the cave door for the second time, then backed away, coughing and sighing: "How did I do it, I forgot the money bag this time." Turn around and walk ten steps, use the magic skills fiercely, return to the cave door without touching the ground, put your arms around and wait to see the little witch's good show. She is a witch, and Lao Tzu is an evil emperor, so of course it must be proven. From outside the cave door, there was a faintly audible, delicate and childish voice, saying: "It doesn't make sense, how could you forget the money bag?" Before the words were finished, the little witch's pretty and incomparably beautiful pink face poked out from the side of the cave, and everyone's faces were facing each other, less than half a foot apart. Without even thinking about it, Longying leaned over with his big mouth, touched her fragrant lips with a touch of water, stepped back and shouted: "Success!" The little witch froze, her beautiful eyes narrowed into lines at first, shining brilliantly, then she stared as big as she wanted, like a crazy tigress who just woke up from a dream and knew that the dragon eagle was taking advantage of her. Snatching it out, the bamboo sword in his hand slashed at Longying thoughtlessly. It is the first time for this proud girl to solve the problem of stealing chickens without losing money. The little witch is dressed in a snow-white warrior uniform with a hero bun tied with a thin ribbon, satin brocade around her waist, and yellow leather boots. , Sprinkle sword moves like performing more than fighting.That little waist twisted with great strength, driving the whole delicate body like a snake as soft as boneless, like a naughty little fairy who came down to the world to dance a sword dance, and at the same time coquettish and scolding, if you don't see the dazzled ones, it's not normal people.At this moment, she wished to tear the dragon eagle's corpse into thousands of pieces. If possible, she would definitely replace the bamboo sword with the sharpest blade. Longying applauded in his heart.The little witch is not "showy", she has indeed worked hard in swordsmanship and gave him a rare opportunity. Since being hit is no big deal, she can only dodge and unstoppable, showing her magic seeds in the shadow of the sword in the sky With super strange body skills, even the little witch slashed and slashed, but couldn't touch the corner of his shirt. Suddenly the little witch withdrew her sword and retreated. Even though it was freezing cold, she was so tired that she was sweating profusely. She couldn't help panting, stepped on her feet and said, "Stop fighting! You most hateful bastard!" Long Ying kissed her on the mouth, knowing that she was wrong, and making trouble with Di Renjie was even worse.He hurriedly said, "Let's go, little brother!" Turn around and go. The whistling brought by the bamboo sword resounded behind him. Longying measured the coming direction and jumped two feet high. "Snapped!" The bamboo sword slammed hard on his buttocks. Longying screamed "Wow" and turned around in pain, protesting: "Bringing people's lives?" The little witch looked strange, as if she had forgotten to be kissed, she looked happy, and said: "I won the battle. If it is a real sword, wouldn't it cut you in two? I still think you are some kind of amazing person, you are so vulnerable, including Guarantee that everyone in the entire God City will know that I have dealt with you." Seeing that she was taking advantage of her without mentioning a word, Long Ying came back with a smile, and said with a smile: "It should be said that everyone in Shendu knows that Miss Di has a special liking for Master Ying and my ass, and she only picks my ass to spank. What? Cutting it into two pieces is called a stock cut." The little witch threw away the bamboo sword, if she had no more strength, she would have rushed over desperately, with her hands on her hips, she stared at Longying with beautiful eyes and cursed: "You rascal." Long Ying made an exaggerated surprised expression and said in astonishment: "It's impossible, how does the little beauty know that my real name is Li Rogue." At this moment, the little witch was still glaring at him fiercely with beautiful eyes, but at the next moment she couldn't help laughing, she smiled coquettishly, and even cursed "shameless", her demeanor could fascinate anyone. Then he stretched out his slender hand and pointed with the halberd: "When I think of a way to concoct you, I will definitely come to you for revenge." After that, he bounced back to the courtyard. Longying felt that the trip was worthwhile, as he couldn't find the fairies, it was pretty good to find the witch. ※※※ "Brother Long!" Long Ying looked back, Wan Renyu chased up from behind, and stood beside him, and said with a smile: "Brother Long, did you get beaten up just now?" Long Ying suddenly said: "Brother Wan must have seen me coming out of Guolao Mansion, why didn't I see Brother Wan at that time?" The two were about the same height and walked side by side.On the riverside avenue that turned into Luoshui, there were a lot of people and cars, and the noise was overwhelming. Wan Renyu suggested, "Sit down on the bank and we'll talk." The two of them sat down on the green slope among the willow trees beside the river. Although they were still in the busy city, they felt quite far away from the hustle and bustle.Long Ying simply lay on his back, looked at the clouds in the sky, and said: "It will snow soon!" Wan Renyu looked at the sky, nodded and said, "I also feel this way. Luoyang has not been really cold this year. Before I came, there were two heavy snowfalls in Chang'an." Long Ying remembered that Junchen pointed out that he arrested his brother, so of course he didn't dare to ask about it.Said: "Brother Wan, has he experienced the ambush of the little witch?" Wan Renyu laughed dumbly and said: "People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. I have a poor reputation, how can I escape? To deliberately lose to her so that she can engrave my name on the list of losers is ridiculous. Di The lotus root fairy is indeed well-deserved, as beautiful as a fairy." Long Ying finally knew the name of the little witch, and after reading it twice, he smiled and said: "Brother Wan wants to find her." Wan Renyu showed a dazed look, shook his head and said, "I wanted to visit Miss Duanmu, but I was hesitating. When I saw Brother Long coming out of the side door, I chased him to talk to him. In the battle last night, Brother Long's tactics were amazing. Its skills, if Brother Long is interested, it will be very enjoyable for everyone to play like brothers." Long Ying thought of urging the demon, and said happily: "My little brother will definitely accompany me, even now." Wan Renyu looked down at him, and said happily: "Brother Long seems to be more martial than me. What kind of weapon does Brother Long like to use? Wouldn't it be empty-handed to catch my saber move?" Long Ying said embarrassingly: "I have very little combat experience. I have never really used weapons to fight against people. I don't know how to answer you." Wan Renyu said: "Brother Long is astonishing, but Brother Long's behavior last night was not like an inexperienced beginner at all, but like a seasoned veteran, and the most terrifying veteran." Then he showed a look of admiration, and said: "Brother Long's future achievements may be comparable to Xu Ziling, the great master of martial arts who has gathered the strengths of both Buddhism and Taoism. Sigh! My hands are itchy to hear." Longying sat up and said: "Why don't you just sit down and find a place to compete?" Wan Renyu said helplessly: "It won't work today, I have an appointment. How about tomorrow?" Remembering the appointment with the princess, Long Ying said with a wry smile: "I can't make it tomorrow, the day after tomorrow I have invited Brother Ban Yuwei to Fanghua Pavilion, Brother Wan, are you interested in joining in the fun?" Wan Renyu shook his head and said, "If I hang out with you all for one night, I will cause trouble for your brother, Brother Long is very flirtatious." Longying was surprised and asked why. Wan Renyu sighed, and said, "Now our Guanzhong Sword Sect has become a thorn in Wu Zhao's side, and I'm her main target. I really don't want to talk about this." After pondering for a moment, he said: "Forgive me for talking too much, I hope Brother Long doesn't mind, because I have asked everyone and there is no answer." Long Ying secretly sighed and fell into the question of identity crisis again, and let him make it up, but still couldn't provide a satisfactory answer to the other party, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Wan, it's best not to ask, I don't want to lie to you." Wan Renyu said calmly: "Brother Long is very frank." Suddenly, his eyes turned to the upper reaches of Luoshui, his eyes flickered, his eyes were burning, and he seemed to feel something, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Long is like a mystery that no one can solve, which makes me worry that one day we may Becoming an enemy is something Wan never wants to see. Those three boats act suspiciously, Brother Long noticed?" Long Ying said calmly: "The moment the three boats came down the river in front of us, the Qiqi riding along the Luo River carriageway just arrived behind us. At such a distance, the most lethal force should be things like crossbow arrows. Brother In charge of the front, how about Brother Wan protecting the rear?" As he spoke, he untied the tie of his winter cloak. Wan Renyu smiled and said, "It's a joy to be able to fight side by side with Brother Long." Long Ying said happily: "Didn't we fight the enemy together last night?" Wan Renyu laughed dumbly and said, "Yes! Yes! This time we are working together for the second time." The three boats lined up like a long snake formation, less than a hundred feet away from the river in front of them. Each boat had three to four people, wearing bamboo hats, and surfed along the current. The sound of hooves approaching from behind was full of murderous intent. In an instant, the two were caught in the front and back of the enemy. The enemy on the boat and the knight behind pulled out the loaded crossbow from the hiding place as Long Ying expected. Wan Renyu sneered, but instead of jumping up, he turned around and drew his saber, and struck out with lightning, at an unbelievably high speed, he slashed three times in a row, and none of the seven arrows that hit him was spared by the inner strength he implied Knocking flying, among which three arrows were fixed by him with one blow, his eyesight is astonishing, and the angle is so precise, it is amazing. Dragon Eagle is relaxed and easy, and the cloak becomes a demon-subduing bag that can contain all mountain spirits and ghosts. With a wave in the wind, all nine crossbow arrows are wrapped in it. The futile enemy disappeared in a flash, and the river bank returned to its previous peace and tranquility.
