Li Yuanzhi saw Qian Zhenglun and others helped Tong Zhaohe out, and returned to the shop, thinking that the acupressure technique is really good, this annoying bodyguard can't do anything after acupointing someone, the master obviously knows it, but he refuses to teach it, It seems that he still has some good skills left, how can he change his skills and ask him to teach him?Back in the room, he went out for a long time with his cheeks on his hands.After eating, she wentssiping with her mother, Mrs. Li nagged and blamed her for making troubles on the way, and said that she was not allowed to wear men's clothes anymore.Li Yuanzhi smiled and said: "Mom, you always said you don't have a son, are you not happy now that you have a son?" Mrs. Li couldn't help her, she went to sleep on the kang.

Li Yuanzhi was about to undress and go to bed, when he heard a sound in the courtyard, someone flicked his finger on the window pane a few times, and said in a crisp voice: "Boy, come out, I have something to ask you." Li Yuanzhi was startled, raised his sword He opened the door and walked into the courtyard, only to see a figure standing there, saying: "You bastard, come with me if you have the guts." Then he climbed out of the wall.Li Yuanzhi is a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and he doesn't care if there are people ambush outside, he jumped out of the wall, and as soon as his feet hit the ground, he was stabbed head-on.

Li Yuanzhi raised his sword to block it, and shouted: "Who is it?" The man took two steps back and said, "I'm Huibu Huo Qingtong. Hey, let me ask you, our rivers don't interfere with wells, why are you insisting on supporting the escort?" , spoil our business?" Li Yuanzhi saw that person standing pretty, with the tip of his sword on the ground, and asked with his left hand. It was the girl in the yellow shirt who had fought fiercely with her during the day, and she was speechless when she asked her such a question. There is really no reason for me to intervene out of thin air, so I had to force my words: "Everything in the world is under the control of the world, and your young master likes to make troubles. Are you not convinced? I will come to teach you your swordsmanship..." Before he finished speaking, he brushed It was just a sword, Huo Qingtong was even more annoyed, and raised his sword to meet him.

Li Yuanzhi knew that he couldn't fight her with swordsmanship, so he had an idea in mind, he retreated as he fought, he saw his position, he retreated to the back of Lu Feiqing's shop, and suddenly shouted: "Master, master, they want to kill me! Huo Qingtong chuckled, and said: "Hmph, useless things, there's no need to kill you! I'm here to teach you a lesson, if you don't have the skills, just mind your own business." Then he turned around and left.Unexpectedly, Li Yuanzhi would not let her go, "Spring Clouds Appear", he stabbed her in the back with his sword, Huo Qingtong turned around and performed "three-point swordsmanship", Li Yuanzhi was forced to panic again.She heard someone behind her, and knew that her master had come out. Seeing Huo Qingtong's long sword piercing her chest, she hid behind Lu Feiqing.

Lu Feiqing raised the White Dragon Sword to block Huo Qingtong's sword move.When Huo Qingtong saw that Li Yuanzhi had come to help, he didn't say a word, his sword moves were like the wind, and he recorded more than ten moves in a row.After several rounds of fighting, he found that his opponent's sword moves were exactly the same as Li Yuanzhi's, but he couldn't get any advantage.The faster her sword moves, the slower the opponent is, and after several rounds of fighting, her offensive has been completely suppressed, and she is completely at a disadvantage. Li Yuanzhi was engrossed in watching the two swordfights. She deliberately lured her master out, trying to steal a few tricks that her master refused to teach, but she saw that the "soft cloud swordsmanship" used by her master was exactly the same as the one passed down to her. However, in every move and every move, it is obvious that there is a lot of inner strength.

The main point of Huo Qingtong's "three-point swordsmanship" is to use fast to fight slow, so as to change and harass the enemy, but Lu Feiqing did not follow her swift swordsmanship to respond to changes.Huo Qingtong made repeated moves in danger, knowing that the opponent was a senior expert, he felt timid, and used two moves of "Lonely Smoke in the Desert" and "Luoyan on the Flat Sand" to attack fiercely, and when the opponent raised his sword to block, he turned around and wanted to retreat.Unexpectedly, the other party's sword moves are continuous, and if they stick to each other, they will never leave, Huo Qingtong secretly complained, so he had to cheer up and fight.

At this time, Li Yuanzhi saw the advantages, returned the sword to the sheath, and performed Wuji Xuan Gongquan to join the battle group.Huo Qingtong is no match for Lu Feiqing alone, how can Li Yuanzhi come to help again?Li Yuanzhi was very cunning, he touched east and west, he did not attack the opponent's vital points, but he deliberately made a joke in order to avenge the horse mane being dragged the day before yesterday.Muslims have very strict boundaries between men and women, and women often wear veils when they go out. Huo Qingtong has important matters to attend to, and he knows that there will be many fights, so he doesn't wear a veil, so as not to be inconvenient when fighting with others.She has always been strict, how could she allow Li Yuanzhi to be so frivolous and mischievous, anxious, the door was not sealed tightly, Lu Feiqing sword entered the middle palace and pointed at the front door.Huo Qingtong raised his sword to block it.Li Yuanzhi took the opportunity to run behind her, and shouted: "Look at the fist!" A blow of "Fighting chicken seizes millet" hit her left shoulder.Huo Qingtong flipped his left wrist and used the grappling technique to defuse it.When Li Yuanzhi took advantage of her right hand to block the sword and her left hand to form a fist, he pressed his palm on her chest. If the palm was real, he must have been seriously injured.Huo Qingtong was startled, his hands could not be drawn out to parry, so he had to lean back to reduce the opponent's palm strength.

Unexpectedly, Li Yuanzhi didn't use much force, he touched Huo Qingtong's chest with his palm, touched it heavily, smiled, and jumped back.Huo Qingtong was so angry that he turned around and stabbed with his sword.When Li Yuanzhi dodged, she made another sword strike.She was desperately trying to fight Lu Feiqing's sword, and attacked Li Yuanzhi with all her might. Lu Feiqing saw Huo Qingtong's swordsmanship during the day, so he had already paid attention to it. He only wanted to test it out, and he had no intention of hurting her. Seeing that she ignored his sword moves, he stopped when he stabbed her. Can't make a move.At this time, Huo Qingtong's attack was fierce, and Li Yuanzhi could not draw his sword slowly.Forced to back up again and again, she was still angry at her: "I've touched it, it's useless for you to kill me." Huo Qingtong stabbed straight with the sword with a "sacred camel foot", and when the tip of the sword was about to reach, Turning around suddenly, he used the unique secret "Mirage" of the "Tianshan School" swordsmanship. The sword was blazing, and Li Yuanzhi was dazzled and at a loss. Seeing that he was about to die under the sword.

Lu Feiqing couldn't ignore it at this moment, and took over Huo Qingtong's attack again with her straight sword.Li Yuanzhi breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Forget it, don't be angry, you'll be fine if you marry me." To parry, he threw the long sword in his hand at Li Yuanzhi vigorously, it was actually a way of killing both of them. Lu Feiqing was taken aback, and threw the long sword. The two swords collided in mid-air, and landed at the same time with a clang sound. With a palm of his left hand, he pressed Huo Qingtong's left shoulder lightly, pushing her forward five or six steps, and jumped forward. Going forward, she said: "Young lady, don't be offended." Huo Qingtong was anxious and angry, burst into two lines of tears, sobbed and ran away.Lu Feiqing caught up to block her, and said: "Miss, go slowly, I have something to say." Huo Qingtong said angrily, "What do you do?" Lu Feiqing turned to Li Yuanzhi and said, "Why don't you pay this sister?"

Li Yuanzhi came over with a smile and gave Huo Qingtong a punch.Li Yuanzhi smiled and said: "Ah, I missed it!" Dodging away, he pulled off his hat casually, revealing his beautiful hair, and said with a smile: "Do you think I am a man or a woman?" Huo Qingtong saw Li Yuanzhi showing his true face under the moon, I couldn't help being stunned, and my anger and shame disappeared immediately, but the remaining anger did not subside, and I fell silent for a while. Lu Feiqing said: "This is my female disciple. She has always been mischievous and mischievous, and I can't care about her. I am also very wrong about the matter of talent, please don't take offense." After saying that, he bowed.Huo Qingtong turned sideways, not accepting his gift, without making a sound, his chest heaving continuously.Lu Feiqing said: "Who are the Tianshan Shuangying from you?" Huo Qingtong raised her eyebrows, her lips moved, but she refrained from saying anything.Lu Feiqing said again: "I have friendship with Brother Chen, the vulture of the Tianshan Mountains, and Mrs. Chen, the Xuediao. We are not outsiders." Huo Qingtong said: "The Xuediao is my master. I will tell Master and Master that your elders bullied the younger ones and instructed you The apprentice came to beat him, and he even did it himself." She glared at the two of them bitterly, then turned and left.

Lu Feiqing waited for her to walk a few steps, and shouted: "Hey, go and tell Master, who bullied you?" : "Then who are you!" Lu Feiqing stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "Both of them have childish temper. Forget it, forget it, this is my apprentice Li Yunzhi, you go and tell your master and master that I am 'mianlizhen'..." He suddenly stopped talking, his heart Thinking that Li Yuanzhi never knew his real name, "...just say that Wudang sect'Mianlizhen' whose surname is Lu, congratulations to the two of them for accepting a good apprentice." Huo Qingtong said: "Also say that he is a good apprentice, to others like this Bully, lose face of master and master." Lu Feiqing said sternly: "Girl, don't think it's embarrassing to be defeated by me. There are not many people in the martial arts world who can defeat me with dozens of tricks like you. I know that Tianshan Shuangying never accepts apprentices, but the Japanese Seeing that your sword skills are all inherited from Shuangying, I have doubts in my heart, so I will try you again. Just now I saw you use the unique move of 'Mirage', and I realized that you have indeed obtained the true inheritance of Shuangying. Your master is still here Are you arguing with your master over jealousy?" He said with a laugh. It turns out that Chen Zhengde, the vulture, is very jealous. The couple are both over sixty years old, but they still suspect that his wife, Guan Mingmei, is empathizing with each other. For decades, there has been quarrel and dispute, and there is no peace.Huo Qingtong saw that he even knew the private affairs of master and master, and believed that he was indeed a senior, but he was still not convinced, and said: "Since you are my master's friend, why did you ask your apprentice to fight against us? Why can't we get back the bible? I don't believe you are a good person." She turned her back as she spoke, she refused to give up, and she did not want to meet as a junior. Lu Feiqing said: "Your swordsmanship has long surpassed my apprentice. Besides, it is not shameful to compete with swords, but it is shameful if you can't get the Bible back. What does it matter if one person wins or loses? The whole family is bullied by others. That’s what you have to work hard for.” Huo Qingtong was startled, and felt that this was indeed a wise and famous saying, and all his arrogance disappeared. He turned around and saluted Lu Fei Qingyingying, and said: "My little niece is not sensible, so I ask the old man to teach me how to get back the Bible. If the old man is willing to help, the whole family of my niece will never die Thank you so much." After saying that, she was about to kneel down, but Lu Feiqing hurriedly supported her. Li Yunzhi said: "I messed up your big business in a foolish way. I have been scolded by the master for a long time. Sister, don't worry, I will help you get it back. That red cloth bag is your Bible?" Huo Qingtong nodded.Li Yuanzhi said: "Let's go now." Lu Feiqing said: "Explore first." The three discussed in a low voice.Lu Feiqing was watching outside, while Huo Qingtong and Li Yuanzhi climbed over the wall and entered the store to check for the guards.
When Li Yuanzhi saw Tong Zhaohe walking by just now, she was still carrying the red cloth bag on her back, she waved to Huo Qingtong, walked shortly outside the house of a group of bodyguards, saw that the lights in the room were still on, she didn't dare to grow up Look, the two squatted by the wall.Tong Zhaohe could only hear strange screams in the room, and the sound stopped after a while.A bodyguard said: "Master Zhang is really clever, he cured our Brother Tong in one go." Tong Zhaohe said: "I would rather not be able to move for the rest of my life than let that boy from Honghuahui cure me." A bodyguard said: "I knew that Mr. Zhang would come, so I didn't have to apologize to that kid just now. Thinking about it, it's really bad luck." A voice full of energy said: "Look at this couple, wait for the old man tomorrow. As soon as Wu and the others come, let's do it. These few are really pussies, and four people can't win against a woman. It's just that they are handling this case, so I can't take the lead." Tong Zhaohe said: "You As soon as Master Zhang arrives, isn't it easy to catch? After you catch him, I will kick this kid hard on the head a few times." Li Yuanzhi grew up slowly, found a hole in the window paper and looked in, saw five or six people sitting in the room, a forty-year-old, imposing stranger sitting in the middle, he must be the Master Zhang they were talking about, Seeing that person's eyes like lightning and his temples protruding high, he thought to himself: "I heard from the master that such a person has profound inner strength and extraordinary martial arts. How can there be such a person in the officialdom?" Only Yan Shizhang said: "Old boy, what are you doing?" Leave the burden to me, and those who are unwilling to give up may have trouble on the way." Tong Zhaohe untied the burden hesitantly, and handed it over without hesitation.Yan Shizhang said: "Don't worry, I'm not competing with you for merit. We can't hide who is stronger or weaker in our games. It will be beneficial for everyone to send this burden to Beijing peacefully." Li Yuanzhi thought to himself, once Yan Shizhang gets the burden, he is strong in martial arts, and it will not be easy to snatch it back. With an idea, he said a few words in Huo Qingtong's ear, then took off his hat, put his long hair in front of him, and took out a handkerchief Covering the lower half of his face, he picked up two bricks from the ground and threw them hard at the window, smashing the pane and hitting them into the room. The lights in the room went out suddenly, and when the door opened, five or six people rushed out.The first one shouted: "What? You are quite courageous." Huo Qingtong whistled, turned over the wall, and all the bodyguards chased after him. Li Yuanzhi waited for all the bodyguards and that lord to chase him out of the wall, and went straight into the room.Tong Zhaohe's acupoints were tapped for a long time. He had just been treated, and his hands and feet were not flexible. He was lying on the kang, and when he saw a disheveled, ghost-like, and human-like thing breaking into the door, his feet burst out. Jumping, squeaking in the mouth, suddenly paralyzed from fright.The ghost jumped over, snatched the red bundle from him, and jumped out of the room with a creaking sound. All the bodyguards chased after a few steps, and the lord Zhang stopped suddenly and said, "Oh no, this is a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain. Go back!" I went up and stayed for a long time before I talked about the ghost robbing the burden.Mr. Zhang said angrily: "What the hell? Our boat capsized in the gutter, and the decades-old rivers and lakes have been ruined." Li Yuanzhi snatched the baggage and hid by the wall, waited for all the bodyguards to enter the room before climbing over the wall and going out.She whistled lightly, and someone under the shade of the opposite tree responded, and two figures came up to meet her, it was Lu Feiqing and Huo Qingtong.Li Yuanzhi was extremely proud, and said with a smile: "I have snatched the burden back, so don't blame me..." Before finishing a sentence, Lu Feiqing shouted: "Be careful behind." Li Yuanzhi was about to turn around when someone patted her on the shoulder. She snapped her backhand but missed the enemy's wrist. She was startled, knowing that a strong enemy was coming. Before he knew it, he hurriedly turned around, and saw a burly man standing in front of him under the moonlight.She never expected that the enemy was standing so close, she took two steps back in shock, raised her hand to throw the burden at Huo Qingtong, and shouted: "Go on." With a wrong hand, she shielded herself from the enemy. Unexpectedly, the enemy's movement is extremely fast, as soon as she threw the burden, the enemy has already followed him, stretched out his hand, and cut off the burden on the way.Surprised and angry, Li Yuanzhi punched him in the face, and at the same time Huo Qingtong also attacked from behind.The man held the bundle with his left hand, and with a split of his hands, the momentum he used was actually "Gao Siping" in Wudang's long fist, with great strength, Li Yuanzhi and Huo Qingtong were shocked back a few steps at the same time.At this time, Li Yuanzhi saw the enemy clearly, it was Mr. Zhang.Wudang Changquan is the introductory kung fu of the Wudang School. She learned the art from Lu Feiqing. After learning Shiduanjin for practicing Qi, she first learned this set of boxing skills. Unexpectedly, she often used a "high Siping" move and used it under the hands of the enemy. It was so powerful when it came out, I couldn't help gasping, and looked back, but the master had disappeared. Seeing that the burden was snatched away again, Huo Qingtong knew that he was no enemy, but he was unwilling to retreat, so he drew his sword and went up again.Li Yuanzhi took a step forward with his right foot, "Seven Star Fist" changed into "Dragon Riding Backwards", and he also used Wudang long boxing to hit the enemy. When Master Zhang saw her punching, he let out a "hey", and when she "riding the dragon backwards" counterattacked, he did not dodge or dodge, and swung the "riding the dragon backwards" sideways with a punch.The same boxing technique, but there are differences in skill, when Li Yunzhi and the enemy fist-to-fist, he felt a numbness in his arms, unbearable pain, staggered on his feet, jumped to the left, almost fell.Huo Qingtong saw her in danger, regardless of hurting the enemy, he rescued his companion first, jumped to Li Yuanzhi's side, stretched out his left hand to hold her, and pointed his sword at Master Zhang with his right hand to prevent him from attacking. Master Zhang said loudly: "Hey, you child, let me ask you, is your master's surname Ma or Lu?" Li Yunzhi thought to himself: "Master's surname is Lu, so I want to lie to him." Said: "My master's surname is Ma, How do you know?" Mr. Zhang said: "Don't you kowtow when you see Master Uncle?" After saying that, he laughed.Huo Qingtong saw that they talked about the friendship between teachers, and he had no friendship with Li Yuanzhi, seeing that the Bible could not be brought back, he left quickly. Li Yuanzhi hurriedly chased after him, ran out dozens of steps, happened to be covered by clouds and the moon was covered by clouds, and there was darkness in front of him, several thunderstorms struck in the sky, he was frightened, he didn't dare to chase again, Master Zhang was gone when he came back.By the time I jumped over the wall and entered, there were already a few drops of rain on my body, and when I first entered the room, the heavy rain had already poured down.
The torrential rain lasted all night and never stopped until dawn.After Li Yuanzhi washed and washed, he saw that the rain was getting heavier outside the window.The maid serving Mrs. Li came in and said: "General Zeng said that it is raining too much, so we can't leave today." Li Yuanzhi hurriedly went to the master's room, told what happened last night, and asked what happened.Lu Feiqing frowned, seeming to be preoccupied, and said: "You don't say you are my apprentice, that's fine." Seeing her master's serious face, she didn't dare to ask more questions, and went back to her room. Autumn wind and rain, sometimes tight and sometimes slow, gusts of cold wind blowing into the room through the broken window.Li Yuanzhi was bored with being trapped in a remote wild shop, so he walked outside the shop of the fourth head of the Red Flower Society to have a look, only to see that the door was closed tightly and there was no sound at all.The escort cars of the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau did not leave either, and several escorts crossed their legs and sat chatting in the hall, but Master Zhang who claimed to be her uncle last night was not there.A gust of westerly wind was blowing, and she felt quite chilly. She was about to go back to her room, when suddenly she heard a bell ringing outside the door, and a horse came galloping out of the rain. The horse stopped outside the inn, and a young scholar dismounted and entered the inn.The store clerk led the horse to load the materials, and asked the scholar if he was staying in the store.The scholar took off his raincoat and said, "You have to go on your way after you beat the tip." The shop assistant told him to sit down and make some tea. The book is tall and tall, with delicate features.In the barren land outside the Great Wall, it is rare to see such a romantic and handsome person, so Li Yunzhi couldn't help but take a second look.The scholar also saw her, and smiled slightly, Li Yuanzhi's face became hot, and he turned his head away. There was a sound of horseshoes outside the store, and a few more people broke in. Li Yuanzhi recognized the four people who besieged the young woman yesterday, and hurriedly retreated into Lu Feiqing's room to ask for advice.Lu Feiqing said: "Let's see first." The master and apprentice peeped out from the window. Among the four of them, the sword wielder called the shop assistant to ask a few words in a low voice, and said, "Bring wine and rice." The shop assistant agreed to go down.The man said: "The idea of ​​the Red Flower Society is not gone, we will do it after we are full." The scholar's expression changed slightly, and he kept looking at the four of them sideways. Li Yuanzhi said: "Do you want to help that woman again?" Lu Feiqing said: "Don't move around, listen to my orders." He didn't pay any attention to the four tolerances, but only looked at the scholar carefully.Seeing that he had eaten, he moved the bench to the passageway in the yard, took out a flute from the package behind him, and played it melodiously.Li Yuanzhi roughly interpreted the rhythm, heard that he was playing the brand "Tianjingsha", playing the flute is not unusual, but the flute is so golden, it is actually made of pure gold.The road in this area is very uneven. He is a frail scholar alone, showing off with a golden flute. Wouldn't it attract thugs to covet him?I thought to myself, I have to remind him later. The four tolerances were also a little surprised when they saw the scholar's behavior.After the meal, the sword wielder jumped onto the table and said loudly: "We are missions from Jingli and Lanzhou Prefectures. We will arrest the red flowers here and we will commit criminals. Don't disturb the good people. Let's use our swords and guns in a while. No eyes, everyone stand far away." After saying that, he jumped off the table and led the three of them to rush in. The scholar didn't seem to hear it, he was sitting in the middle of the road, still playing his flute.The sword wielder approached and said: "Hey, excuse me, don't hinder our business." He saw that the scholar and scribe were dressed up, maybe he was a scholar, so he was more polite to him. If he was an ordinary person, he would have pushed him away a long time ago. up.The scholar put down his flute slowly and asked, "Everyone wants to catch the criminal. What crime did he commit? As the saying goes, it's good to be convenient for others. It's convenient for yourself. The Master said: 'Do not do to others what you don't want yourself to do to yourself. 'I think it's just so-so, so why do you have to catch it?' Tolerance, who was holding a stick, took a step forward and shouted: "Don't talk about it here, can you? Go away!" The scholar laughed and said, "Please be safe How about being a friend, my brother is the host, come over for a drink, and make friends?" How could the tolerance allow him to be so entangled, and he stretched out his hand to push it away, cursing: "Damn it, it's so sour!" The scholar swayed and shouted: "Ah, don't be rough, a gentleman uses his mouth but doesn't move his hands!" He suddenly rushed forward, as if he couldn't hold back his momentum, he stretched out his golden flute and pressed it forward. It was no coincidence that it just arrived. On the left leg acupuncture point of Tolerance.As soon as the tolerance's legs gave way, he knelt down.The scholar shouted: "Oh, don't dare to take it, don't be a big gift!" He bowed again and again. As a result, the experts all knew that he possessed unique skills, and they deliberately made things difficult for these gentlemen.Li Yuanzhi was worried about the scholar at first, fearing that he would be bullied by his official business, but when he saw that he could do acupuncture and was still putting on airs, he could only see his eyebrows beaming, very happy. Tolerance, who made the soft whip, exclaimed: "Uncle Shi, I'm afraid that Honghua will have this idea!" The sword and ghost swordsmen retreated a few steps again and again.Tolerance, who was carrying the stick, fell limply to the ground, unable to move, and the whip pulled him aside.Shi Jian's tolerance said to the scholar: "Are you from the Red Flower Society?" There was a sense of fear in his words. The scholar laughed, and said: "The eyes and ears of the tolerance are really good. This bowl of rice is not for free. I know that there are people like me in the Red Flower Society. As the saying goes: Bachelor eyes, match clips. It really is a bit The truth. Don’t change your surname when walking down, and don’t change your name when sitting. The surname is the same as the fish. The rest is not the same as others. The fisherman is a fish in troubled waters. Also. I am a small player in the Red Flower Society, and I am sitting in the fourteenth position." He raised his flute and said, "Don't you know this guy?" The sword wielder said, "Ah, You are a golden flute talent!" The scholar said: "Don't dare, it's just mere mere. Your Excellency is holding a sword, shining blue light, with a deer head and mouse eyes, and an extraordinary appearance. It must be Wu Guodong, a famous headhunter in Beijing. I heard that you have already retired from the mountain, why are you making such a joke again?" Is your son coming?" The sword wielder snorted and said, "You have a good eye too! You belong to the Red Flower Society, so fight this lawsuit with me!" With the words raised, the sword moved lightly and stabbed Out, firm but soft, full of strength. Wu Guodong is a well-known head catcher in Beijing. His men have solved major cases and killed countless robbers. He knows that he has accumulated too many enemies, and he died a few years ago.It was his nephew Feng Hui who made the soft whip. This time he was ordered to cooperate with Ouchi's bodyguards to arrest the key criminals of the Red Flower Society.The one who wields the ghost sword is called Jiang Tianshou, and the one who wields the wand is called Han Chunlin. They are both arresters from Lanzhou.Although the arrester's martial arts are not high, his ability to track down criminals is better than that of the imperial guards. When Yu Yutong played the golden flute, he fought with three Tolerances.Sometimes his golden flute was used as an iron whip, sometimes as a judge's pen, and sometimes swordsmanship was mixed with his moves, Wu Guodong and the three of them were in a panic.Lu Feiqing and Li Yuanzhi couldn't help but look at each other after seeing only a few moves.Li Yuanzhi said: "It's the soft cloud swordsmanship." Lu Feiqing nodded, thinking to himself: "The soft cloud sword is the unique secret of our sect. Since he is a member of the Red Flower Society, he is the apprentice of the elder brother." Lu Feiqing has three brothers, he is the second in the middle, senior brother Ma Zhen, and junior Zhang Zhaozhong is the "Master Zhang" who Li Yuanzhi fought with last night.Zhang Zhaozhong is very talented, hardworking and diligent, he is the strongest in martial arts among his brothers, but he is keen on fame and fortune, and joins the imperial court.Lu Feiqing broke up with him long ago, and saw his moves last night. After more than ten years, this person has made great achievements and made further progress, which is really not trivial.This night, thinking back on the past of the teacher's apprenticeship in the past, I was filled with emotion, but today I met another underachiever who was able to pass the skills at the same time. He guessed that Yu Yutong was a disciple of senior brother Ma Zhen, and he guessed right.Yu Yutong is a child of a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River, and he has been selected as a scholar.Because his father competed with a wealthy family for a cemetery, his family lost his fortune in a lawsuit, and was framed by the wealthy family for an excuse, and died in prison.Yu Yutong runs away in a fit of rage, meets a chance, worships Ma Zhen as his teacher, abandons literature and martial arts, and stabs Shihao to death when he returns.He is quick-witted and dexterous, and knows a lot about the countrymen in various places. He is in charge of contacting the Quartet and spying on information during the meeting.This time when I was ordered to go to Luoyang to do business, I didn't know that Wen Tailai and his wife met the enemy on the way and were recuperating in this shop. They planned to eat some snacks and then go eastward in the rain, but they heard Wu Guodong and others kept saying that they wanted to arrest members of the Honghua Society, so they stepped forward. out.Luo Bing heard the flute through the window, but knew that it was the fourteenth brother who had arrived. Yu Yutong used one against three, and the fight was inextricable.People in the escort company heard the sound and stood aside to watch the excitement.Tong Zhaohe said loudly: "If it were me, I would leave two hail boys and hit the other with a marble." Seeing Feng Hui carrying a slingshot, he reminded him.When Feng Hui heard it was right, he withdrew from the battle group, jumped onto the table, pulled up the slingshot, and hit Yu Yutong with a burst of bullets. Yu Yutong dodged repeatedly, but also had to parry the sword, and was at a disadvantage. After counting, Wu Guodong's long sword and Jiang Tianshou's ghost head knife attacked at the same time. There was a hole in the gown.Yu Yu was stunned, he was shot on the cheek, and under the pain, his hands and feet were even slower.Wu Guodong and Jiang Tianshou attacked more tightly.Jiang Tianshou's martial arts are mediocre, but Wu Guodong's swordsmanship is sophisticated, he can be regarded as a master in the Gongmen.Yu Yutong could only parry the golden flute in his hand, but he couldn't move it.Tong Zhaohe was proud at the side: "You are right to listen to Uncle Tong's words. Hey, you kid, stop beating, throw down the flute, kowtow for mercy, take off your pants and hit the board!" Yu Yutong's skill was obtained from a famous school, although he was in danger, in the midst of a fierce fight, suddenly he paralleled two fingers of his left hand and pointed towards Wu Guodong's nipple acupoint.Wu Guodong quickly took two steps back.Yu Yutong changed his palms with two fingers, swayed in front of Jiang Tianshou's face, and retracted his palms deliberately when the opponent raised his knife to block.Jiang Tianshou saw that there was an advantage to take advantage of, so Guitou Dao changed from defense to offense and slashed straight at it.Yu Yutong lured the enemy's weapon past with his left palm, and the golden flute struck horizontally, hitting the enemy's waist.Jiang Tianshou let out a loud snort, and squatted down in pain.Yu Yutong is about to fight, but Wu Guodong holds his sword.Feng Hui blocked him again with a burst of marbles. Jiang Tianshou heaved a sigh of relief, endured the pain, gritted his teeth, stood up and slipped behind Yu Yutong, while he was looking forward to the long sword and avoiding the bullets, he exhausted all his life's strength, and the ghost head knife "slashed Huashan alone." ", chopped off at the back of his head, this move attacked the unprepared, it was really hard to dodge.Unexpectedly, the blade barely hit the enemy's top, and suddenly there was a sharp pain in his wrist, he couldn't hold the weapon, he fell to the ground, he was stunned, another flying knife was hit in his chest, and he died on the spot. Yu Yutong turned around and saw Luo Bing standing behind with his left hand on the table, holding a throwing knife in his right hand, holding a white blade with his slender fingers, like holding a flower branch, with handsome eyes and a smile on his lips, he raised his hand to kill the enemy , as if nothing had happened, indescribably charming and gratifying.When he saw it, his chest felt hot, his spirits lifted, the golden flute danced a ball of yellow light, and shouted: "Sister-in-law Si, break up the eagle claws for the slingshot." Luo Bing smiled slightly, and shot with a flying knife.Hearing the cry, Feng Hui hurriedly turned around to face the enemy, only to see a bright willow-leaf sharp knife flying towards his chest, the wind was strong, he hurriedly raised his slingshot to block it, and with a slap, the spine of the bow snapped instantly, and the knife was thrown away. The momentum did not fade, and he cut the back of his hand again.Feng Hui was terrified, and screamed: "Uncle Master, the wind is blowing!" Turning around and leaving, Wu Guodong swiped two swords, forced Yu Yutong to take two steps back, picked up Han Chunlin who had fallen to the ground, and Feng Hui waved his sword. After the whip was broken, he rushed to the store door. Seeing Tolerance running away, Yu Yutong didn't chase after him, and raised the flute to his lips.Li Yuanzhi thought to himself that this person really has a lot of leisure time, and he is still playing the flute at this moment.Unexpectedly, this time he didn't play horizontally, but straightly like playing a flute. When he blows air, a small arrow flies out from the golden flute.Feng Hui lowered his head, and the small arrow nailed Han Chunlin's buttocks, causing him to scream in pain. Yu Yutong turned around and said, "Where is fourth brother?" Luo Bing said, "Come with me." Her leg was injured, and she used a door latch as a crutch to lead the way into the room.Yu Yutong picked up a throwing knife from the ground and handed it back to Luo Bing, and asked, "Why is Fourth Sister-in-law injured, is it okay?" Over there, Wu Guodong ran out with Han Chunlin on his back, fearing that the enemy would come after him, he ran towards the store door with all his strength, and just as he left the door, a person came in from outside, and he bumped into him immediately.Wu Guodong worked hard for decades, and his lower body was extremely solid, but he couldn't stop his feet when he was lightly touched by the person who came in, and he backed away a few steps, throwing Han Chunlin on the ground, so he didn't fall down.This time Han Chunlin was miserable, the small arrow hit the ground, and even the feathers of the arrow sank into the flesh. As soon as Wu Guodong raised his head, he saw Zhang Zhaozhong, the leader of the Xiaoqi battalion, who came in. He turned his anger into joy, retracted the rude words that had come to his lips, greeted him hurriedly, and said: "Master Zhang, the little one is useless. One brother made the idea useless, and this one has acupuncture points." Zhang Zhaozhong said "huh", lifted Han Chunlin with his left hand, pinched his waist with his right hand, and patted his leg, releasing his blocked blood vessels. He opened it and asked: "The idea has gone?" Wu Guodong said: "It's still in the store." Zhang Zhaozhong snorted and said: "I'm not a coward, I killed officials and resisted arrest, and I live in the store in a big way." While talking into the courtyard.Feng Hui pointed to Wen Tailai's shop, and said: "Master Zhang, there is the idea." Holding a soft whip, he opened the way first. A group of people were about to break in, when suddenly a young man jumped out from the left wing, holding a red cloth bundle, raised it to Zhang Zhaozhong, and said with a smile: "Hey, I snatched it again!" He ran to the door while speaking.Zhang Zhaozhong was stunned, and thought: "These escort boys are really pussy, I snatched them back, and they snatched them away again. Don't pay attention to them, I have to do my own business!" He didn't chase after him, turned around and wanted to enter the room again.Seeing that he didn't chase after him, the young man stopped and shouted: "I don't know where I learned how to use a three-legged cat, and pretend to be someone else's uncle. Is it shameful?" This young man is Li Yuanzhi who disguised himself as a man. Zhang Zhao's name shocked the world, and he was nicknamed "Judge of the Fire Hand".There is a saying in the green forest: "It is better to see the king of hell than to see the old king; it is better to be shot than to meet one." Fire Hand Judge" Zhang Zhaozhong said.Even though he has been in the officialdom these years, martial arts figures are still in awe when they see him. How often has he been ridiculed like this?At that time, the anger rose, and he raised his hand to grab Li Yuanzhi, intending to catch her, give her a good lesson, and then hand it over to his senior brother Ma Zhen.He decided that she was Ma Zhen's apprentice. Seeing him chasing him, Li Yuanzhi ran away.Zhang Zhaozhong said: "My boy, where are you going to run?" After a few steps, seeing her fleeing very fast, he didn't want to tangle with her, so he turned to get down to business.Unexpectedly, when Li Yuanzhi saw that he didn't chase after him, he stopped to ridicule him, saying that he had gained a false name and disgraced the Wudang faction, but he didn't dare to stop under his feet when he spoke. Zhang Zhao was furious and chased him for two or three miles. Without stopping, the two of them were completely wet. Zhang Zhaozhong gave a relentless effort, and said in his heart: "You bastard, let's do it after we catch you." He used his lightness kung fu and chased him with all his strength.Since he was determined to chase, it was difficult for Li Yuanzhi to escape. Seeing the opponent getting closer and closer, knowing his excellent martial arts skills, he couldn't help panicking, and ran towards the hillside in a slanting stab. Behind Li Yuanzhi's back, he reached out and grabbed her vest clothes.Li Yuanzhi was shocked, he struggled hard, and with a "chi" sound, a piece of clothes on his back was torn off, his heart skipped a beat.He casually threw the red cloth bundle into the mountain stream and said, "Here I am." Zhang Zhaozhong knew that the scriptures in the bag were very important, General Zhaohui took them very seriously, he was washed by the stream, and he didn't know where it went, even if he found it, it would be damaged, so he didn't care about chasing people, he jumped down the mountain to pick up the bag.Li Yuanzhi laughed, turned around and left. Zhang Shi picked up the bundle again, and seeing that it was wet, he hurriedly opened it to see if the scriptures were soaked. As soon as he untied it, he couldn't help yelling, "Where is there any Koran in the bag?"It turned out to be two account books on the counter of the inn. When I opened it, I saw how much money was paid for the room of a certain number of guests, and how much money was paid by the shop assistant.He sighed that he was unlucky, he had seen all the big battles in the rivers and lakes, but he was tricked twice by this kid, and he threw the account books into the mountain stream. Can't get down. Feeling irritable, he hurried back to the inn, and as soon as he stepped through the door, he met Yan Shizhang of the bodyguard firm. Seeing that he was carrying the red cloth bag on his back, he felt ashamed and asked, "Has anyone touched this bag?" Yan Shizhang said: "No." He was careful and knew that there must be a reason for Zhang Zhaozhong's questioning, so he invited him into the shop with him, opened the package, and included the scriptures.Zhang Zhaozhong asked: "Where did Wu Guodong and the others go?" Yan Shizhang said: "I saw you here just now." Zhang Zhao said angrily: "It's useless for the emperor to raise such a person! I only took a few steps away and hid far away. Brother Yan, come with me, you see I single-handedly grasped this idea." Said Then he walked to the shop where Wen Tailai lived.Yan Shizhang was in a dilemma, he was shocked by the prestige of the Red Flower Society, he knew that there were many people in this society, and there were many masters, and he could not afford to offend them, but he did not dare to disobey Zhang Zhaozhong's words. Participating, fortunately, Zhang Zhaozhong's martial arts are outstanding, two of the opponent's three were injured, and he was bound to catch them. He said that he wanted to fight alone, so let him fight alone. Zhang Zhaozhong went outside the door and yelled: "Safflower Society gangsters, get out!" After a while, there was no sound in the room.他大声骂道:“他妈的,没种!”抬腿踢门,房门虚掩,并未上闩,竟然不见有人。他一惊,叫道:“点子跑啦!”冲进房去,房里空空如也,炕上棉被隆起,似乎被内有人,拔剑挑开棉被,果有两人相向而卧,他以剑尖在朝里那人背上轻刺一下,那人动也不动,扳过来看时,那人脸上毫无血色,两眼突出,竟是兰州府捕快韩春霖,脸朝外的人则是北京捕头冯辉,伸手一探鼻息,两人均已气绝。这两人身上并无血迹,也无刀剑伤口,再加细查,见两人后脑骨都碎成细片,乃内家高手掌力所击,不禁对文泰来暗暗佩服,心想他重伤之余,还能使出如此厉害内力,“奔雷手”三字果然名不虚传。可是吴国栋去了何处?文泰来夫妇又逃往何方?把店伙叫来细问,竟无半点头绪。 张召重这一下可没猜对,韩春霖与冯辉并不是文泰来打死的。
原来当时陆菲青与李沅芷隔窗观战,见余鱼同遇险,陆菲青暗发芙蓉金针,打中蒋天寿手腕,鬼头刀落地,骆冰赶来送上一把飞刀把他打死。吴国栋背起韩春霖逃走。陆菲青放下了心,以为余骆二人难关已过,哪知张召重却闯了进来。 李沅芷道:“昨晚抢我包袱的就是他,师父认得他吗?”陆菲青“唔”了一声,心下计算已定,低声道:“快去把他引开,越远越好。回来如不见我,明天你们自管上路,我随后赶来。”李沅芷还待要问,陆菲青道:“快去,迟了怕来不及,可得千万小心。”他知这徒儿诡计多端,师弟武艺虽强,但论聪明机变,却远远不及,料想她不会吃亏。而且她父亲是现任提督,万一被张召重捉到,也不敢难为于她。又知张召重心高气傲,不屑和妇女动手,要紧关头之时,李沅芷如露出女子面目,张召重必一笑而走。不出所算,张召重果然上当,但其实张召重如发暗器,或施杀手,李沅芷也早受伤,只因以为她是大师兄马真之徒,手下留了情,这倒非陆菲青始料之所及。 陆菲青见张召重追出店门,微一凝思,提笔匆匆写了封信,放在怀内,走到文泰来店房门外,在门上轻敲两下。房里一个女人声音问道:“谁呀?”陆菲青道:“我是骆元通骆五爷的好朋友,有要事奉告。”里面并不答话,也不开门,当是在商量如何应付。这时吴国栋三人却慢慢走近,远远站着监视,见陆菲青站在门外,很是诧异。 房门忽地打开,余鱼同站在门口,斯斯文文的道:“是哪一位前辈?”陆菲青低声道:“我是你师叔绵里针陆菲青。”余鱼同脸现迟疑,他确知有这一位师叔,为人侠义,可是从来没见过面,不知眼前老者是真是假,这时文泰来身受重伤,让陌生人进房安知他不存歹意。陆菲青低声道:“别做声,我教你相信,让开吧。”余鱼同疑心更甚,腿上踩桩拿劲,防他闯门,一面上上下下的打量。陆菲青突伸左手,向他肩上拍去。余鱼同一闪,陆菲青右掌翻处,已搁到他腋下,一个“懒扎衣”,轻轻把他推在一边。“懒扎衣”是武当长拳中起手第一式,左手撩起自己长衫,右手单鞭攻敌,出手锋锐而潇洒自如,原意是不必脱去长袍即可随手击敌,凡是本门中人,那是一定学过的入门第一课。余鱼同只觉得一股大力将他一推,身不由主的退了几步,心中又惊又喜:“真是师叔到了。” 余鱼同这一退,骆冰提起双刀便要上前。余鱼同向她做个手势,道:“且慢!”陆菲青双手向他们挥了几挥,示意退开,随即奔出房去,向吴国栋等叫道:“喂,喂,屋里的人都逃光啦,快来看!” 吴国栋大吃一惊,冲进房去,韩春霖和冯辉紧跟在后。陆菲青最后进房,将三人出路堵死,随手关上了门。吴国栋见余鱼同等好端端都在房里,一惊更甚,忙叫:“快退!”韩春霖和冯辉待要转身,陆菲青双掌发劲,在两人后脑击落。两人脑骨破裂,登时毙命。 吴国栋机警异常,见房门被堵,立即顿足飞身上炕,双手护住脑门,直向窗格撞去。文泰来睡在炕上,见他在自己头顶窜过,坐起身来,左掌挥出,喀喇一响,吴国栋右臂立断。吴国栋身形一晃,左足在墙上一撑,还是穿窗破格,逃了出去。脑后风生,骆冰飞刀出手,吴国栋跳出去时早防敌人暗器追袭,双脚只在地上一点,随即跃向左边,饶是如此,飞刀还是插入了他右肩,当下顾不得疼痛,拚命逃出客店。 这一来,骆冰和余鱼同再无怀疑,一齐下拜。文泰来道:“老前辈,恕在下不能下来见礼。”陆菲青道:“好说,好说。这位和骆元通骆五爷是怎生称呼?”说时眼望骆冰。骆冰道:“那是先父。”陆菲青道:“元通老弟是我至交好友,想不到竟先我谢世。”言下不禁凄然。骆冰眼眶一红,忍住了眼泪。陆菲青问余鱼同道:“你是马师兄的徒弟了?师兄近来可好?”余鱼同道:“托师叔的福,师父身子安健。他老人家常常惦记师叔,说有十多年不见,不知师叔在何处贵干,总是放心不下。”陆菲青怃然道:“我也很想念你师父。你可知另一个师叔也找你来了。”余鱼同矍然一惊,道:“张召重张师叔?”陆菲青点点头。文泰来听得张召重的名字,微微一震,“呀”了一声。骆冰忙过去相扶,爱怜之情,见于颜色。余鱼同看得出神,痴想:“要是我有这样一个妻子,纵然身受重伤,那也是胜于登仙。” 陆菲青道:“我这师弟自甘下流,真是我师门之耻,但他武功精纯,而且千里迢迢从北京西来,一定还有后援。现下文老弟身受重伤,我看眼前只有避他一避,然后我们再约好手,跟他一决雌雄。老夫如不能为师门清除败类,这几根老骨头也就不打算再留下来了。”话声虽低,却难掩心中愤慨之意。骆冰道:“我们一切听陆老伯吩咐。”说罢看了一下丈夫的脸色,文泰来点点头。 陆菲青从怀中掏出一封信来,交给骆冰。骆冰接过一看,封皮上写着:“敬烦面陈铁胆庄周仲英老英雄”。骆冰喜道:“陆老伯,你跟周老英雄有交情?”陆菲青还没回答,文泰来先问:“哪一位周老英雄?”骆冰道:“周仲英!”文泰来道:“铁胆庄周老英雄在这里?”陆菲青道:“他世居铁胆庄,离此不过二三十里。我和周老英雄从没会过面,但神交已久,素知他肝胆照人,是个铁铮铮的好男子。我想请文老弟到他庄上去暂避一时,咱们分一个人去给贵会朋友报信,来接文老弟去养伤。”他见文泰来脸色有点迟疑,便问:“文老弟你意思怎样?” 文泰来道:“前辈这个安排,本来再好不过,只是不瞒前辈说,小侄身上担着血海的干系。乾隆老儿不亲眼见到小侄丧命,他是食不甘味,睡不安枕。铁胆庄周老英雄我们久仰大名,是西北武林的领袖人物,交朋友再热心不过,那真是响当当的脚色。他与我们虽然非亲非故,小侄前去投奔,他碍于老前辈的面子,那是非收留不可,然而这一收留,只怕后患无穷。他在此安家立业,万一给官面上知道了,叫他受累,小侄心中可万分不安。” 陆菲青道:“文老弟快别这么说,咱们江湖上讲的是'义气'两字,为朋友两肋插刀,卖命尚且不惜,何况区区身家产业?咱们在这里遇到为难之事,不去找他,周老英雄将来要是知道了,反要怪咱们瞧他不起,眼中没他这一号人物。”文泰来道:“小侄这条命是甩出去了。鹰爪子再找来,我拚得一个是一个。前辈你不知道,小侄犯的事实在太大,愈是好朋友,愈是不能连累于他。” 陆菲青道:“我说一个人,你一定知道,太极门的赵半山跟你怎样称呼?”文泰来道:“赵三哥,那是我们会里的三当家。”陆菲青道:“照呀!你们红花会干的是甚么事,我全不知情。可是赵半山赵贤弟跟我是过命的交情,当年我们在屠龙帮时出生入死,真比亲兄弟还亲。他既是贵会中人,那么你们的事一定光明正大,我是信得过的。你犯了大事却又怎么了?最大不过杀官造反。嘿嘿?刚才我就杀了两个官府的走狗哪!”说着伸足在冯辉的尸体上踢了一脚。 文泰来道:“小侄的事说来话长,过后只要小侄留得一口气在,再详详细细的禀告老前辈。这次乾隆老儿派了八名大内侍卫来兜捕我们夫妻。酒泉一战,小侄身负重伤,亏得你侄女两把飞刀多废了两个鹰爪,好容易才逃到这里,哪知御林军的张召重又跟着来啦。小侄终是一死,但乾隆老儿那见不得人的事,总要给他抖了出来,才死得甘心。” 陆菲青琢磨这番说话,似乎他获知了皇帝的重大阴私,是以乾隆接二连三派出高手要杀他灭口。他虽在大难之中,却不愿去连累别人,正是一人做事一人当的英雄本色,心想如不激上一激,他一定不肯投铁胆庄去,便道:“文老弟,你不愿连累别人,那原是光明磊落的好汉子行径,只不过我想想有点可惜。” 文泰来忙问:“可惜甚么?”陆菲青道:“你不愿去,我们三人能不能离开你?你身上有伤,动不得手,待会鹰爪子再来,我不是长他人志气,灭自己威风,只要有我师弟在内,咱们有谁是他敌手?这里一位是你夫人,一个是你兄弟,老朽虽然不才,也还知道朋友义气比自己性命要紧。咱们一落败,谁能弃你而逃?老朽活了六十年,这条命算是捡来的,陪你老弟和他们拚了,并没甚么可惜,可惜是我这个师侄方当有为,你这位夫人青春年少,只因你要逞英雄好汉,唉,累得全都丧命于此。” 文泰来听到这里,不由得满头大汗,陆菲青的话虽然有点偏激,可全入情入理。骆冰叫了一声“大哥”,拿出手帕,把他额上汗珠拭去,握住他那只没受伤的手。文泰来号称“奔雷手”,十五岁起浪荡江湖,手掌下不知击毙过多少神奸巨憝、凶徒恶霸,但这双杀人无算的巨掌被骆冰又温又软的手轻轻一握,正所谓英雄气短,儿女情长,再也不能坚执己见了,向陆菲青道:“前辈教训的是,刚才小侄是想岔了,前辈指点,唯命是从。” 陆菲青将写给周仲英的信抽了出来。文泰来见信上先写了一些仰慕之言,再说有几位红花会的朋友遇到危难,请他照拂,信上没写文余等人的姓名。文泰来看后,叹了一口气道:“我们这一到铁胆庄,红花会又多了一位恩人了。” 须知红花会有恩必酬,有仇必报。任何人对他们有恩,总要千方百计答谢才罢,若是结下了怨仇,也必大仇大报,小仇小报,决不放过。镇远镖局的人听到红花会的名头心存畏惧,就因知道他们人多势众,恩怨分明,实是得罪不得。 陆菲青再问余鱼同,该到何处去报信求援,红花会后援何时可到。余鱼同道:“红花会十二位香主,除了这里的文四当家和骆十一当家,都已会集安西。大伙请少舵主总领会务,少舵主却一定不肯,说他年轻识浅,资望能力差得太远,非要二当家无尘道长当总舵主不可。无尘道长又哪里肯?现下僵在那里,只等四当家与十一当家一到,就开香堂推举总舵主。谁知他们两位竟在这里被困。大家正眼巴巴在等他们呢。” 陆菲青喜道:“安西离此也不远,贵会好手大集。张召重再强,又怕他何来?”余鱼同向文泰来道:“少舵主派我去洛阳见韩家的掌门人,分说一件误会,那也不是十万火急之事。小弟先赶回安西报信,四哥你瞧怎么样?”他在会中位分远比文泰来为低,遇到疑难时按规矩要听上头的人吩咐。文泰来沉吟未答。陆菲青道:“我瞧这样,你们三人马上动身去铁胆庄,安顿好后,余贤侄就径赴洛阳。到安西报信的事就交给我去办。” 文泰来不再多说,彼此是成名英雄,这样的事不必言谢,也非一声道谢所能报答,从怀中拿出一朵大红绒花,交给陆菲青道:“前辈到了安西,请把这朵花插在衣襟上,敝会自有人来接引。”骆冰将文泰来扶起。余鱼同把地下两具尸体提到炕上,用棉被蒙住。陆菲青打开门,大模大样的踱出来,上马向西疾驰而去。 过了片刻,余鱼同手执金笛开路,骆冰一手撑了一根门闩,一手扶着文泰来走出房来。掌柜的和店伙连日见他们恶战杀人,胆都寒了,站得远远的哪敢走近。余鱼同将三两银子抛在柜上,说道:“这是房饭钱!我们房里有两件贵重物事存着,谁敢进房去,少了东西回来跟你算帐。”掌柜的连声答应,大气也不敢出。店伙把三人的马牵来,双手不住发抖。文泰来两足不能踏镫,左手在马鞍上一按,一借力,轻轻飞身上马。余鱼同赞道:“四哥好俊功夫!”骆冰嫣然一笑,上马提缰,三骑连辔往东。 余鱼同在镇头问明了去铁胆庄的途径,三人放马向东南方奔去,一口气走出十五六里地,一问行人,知道过去不远就到。骆冰暗暗欣慰,心知只要一到铁胆庄,丈夫就是救下来了。铁胆庄周仲英威名远震,在西北黑白两道无人不敬,天大的事也担当得起,只消缓得一口气,红花会大援便到,鹰爪子便来千军万马,也总有法子对付。 一路上乱石长草,颇为荒凉。忽听马蹄声急,迎面奔来三乘马。马上两个是精壮汉子,另一人身材甚是魁伟,白须如银,脸色红润,左手呛啷啷的弄着两个大铁胆。交错而过之时,三人向文泰来等看了一眼,脸现诧异之色,六骑马奔驰均疾,霎时之间已相离十余丈。余鱼同道:“四哥四嫂,那位恐怕就是铁胆周仲英。”骆冰道:“我也正想说。似他这等神情,决非寻常人物,手里又拿着两个铁胆。”文泰来道:“多半是他。但他走得这么快,怕有急事,半路上拦住了问名问姓,总是不妥。到铁胆庄再说吧。” 又行数里,来到铁胆庄前,其实天色向晚,风劲云低,夕照昏黄,一眼望去,平野莽莽,无边无际的衰草黄沙之间,唯有一座孤零零的庄子。三人日暮投庄,求庇于人,心情郁郁,俱有凄怆之意。缓缓纵马而前,见庄外小河环绕,河岸遍植杨柳,柳树上却光秃秃地一张叶子也没有了,疾风之下,柳枝都向东飘舞。庄外设有碉堡,还有望楼吊桥,气派甚大。 庄丁请三人进庄,在大厅坐下献茶。一位管家模样的中年汉子出来接待,自称姓宋,名叫善朋,随即请教文泰来等三人姓名。三人据实说了。 宋善朋听得是红花会中人物,心头一惊,道:“久仰久仰,听说贵会在江南开山立柜,一向很少到塞外来呀。不知三位找我们老庄主有何见教?真是失敬得很,我们老庄主刚出了门”一面细细打量来人,红花会这帮会是素闻其名,只是他知红花会与老庄主从无交往,这次突然过访,来意善恶,难以捉摸,言辞之间,不免显得迟疑冷淡。 文泰来听得周仲英果不在家,陆菲青那封信也就不拿出来了,见宋善朋虽然礼貌恭谨,但一副拒人于千里之外的神情,心下有气,便道:“既然周老英雄不在家,就此告退。我们前来拜庄,也没甚么要紧事,只是久慕周老英雄威名,顺道瞻仰。这可来得不巧了。”说着扶了椅子站起。宋善朋道:“不忙不忙,请用了饭再走吧。”转头向一名庄丁轻轻说了几句话,那庄丁点头而去。文泰来坚说要走。宋善朋道:“那么请稍待片刻,否则老庄主回来,可要怪小人怠慢贵客。”说话之间,一名庄丁捧出一只盘子,盘里放着两只元宝,三十两一只,共是六十两银子。宋善朋接过盘子,对文泰来道:“文爷,这点不成敬意。三位远道来到敝庄,我们没好好招待,这点点盘费请赏脸收下。” 文泰来一听,勃然大怒,心想我危急来投,你把我当成江湖上打抽丰的来啦。他一身傲骨,这次到铁胆庄来本已万分委曲,岂知竟受辱于伧徒。骆冰见丈夫脸上变色,轻轻在他手上一捏,要他别发脾气。文泰来按捺怒气,左手拿起元宝,说道:“我们来到宝庄,可不是为打抽丰,宋朋友把人看小啦。”宋善朋连说“不敢”,心里说:“你不是打抽丰,怎么银子又要拿?”他知道红花会声名大,所以送的盘费特别从丰。 文泰来“嘿嘿”一声冷笑,把银子放回盘中,说道:“告辞了。”宋善朋一看之下,大吃一惊。两只好端端的元宝,已被他单手潜运掌力,捏成一个扁扁的银饼,他又是羞惭,又是着急,心想:“这人本领不小,怕是来寻仇找晦气的。”忙向庄丁轻声嘱咐了几句,叫他快到后堂报知大奶奶,自己直送出庄,连声道歉。文泰来不再理他。三名庄丁把客人的马匹牵来,文泰来与余鱼同向宋善朋一抱拳,说声“叨扰”,随即上马。 骆冰从怀里摸出一锭金子,重约十两,递给牵着她坐骑的庄丁,说道:“辛苦你啦,一点点小意思,三位喝杯酒吧。”说着向另外两名庄丁一摆手。这十两金子所值,超出宋善朋所送的两只银元宝岂止数倍,那庄丁一世辛苦也未必积得起,手中几时拿到过这般沉甸甸的一块金子,一时还不敢信是真事,欢喜得连“谢”字也忘了说。骆冰一笑上马。 原来骆冰出生不久,母亲即行谢世。神刀骆元通是个独行大盗,一人一骑,专劫豪门巨室,曾在一夜之间,连盗金陵八家富户,长刀短刀飞刀,将八家守宅护院的武师打得
