Chapter 12 Chapter 12 The Weird Bandit
After crying a lot, he vented a lot of depression in his chest. Seeing that it was already dawn and he was about to go on his way, he was about to stand up when he suddenly called out "Ah yo!"
It turned out that he was agitated and rushed out of Miao Renfeng's house, leaving behind his baggage, if he went back to get it, he really didn't want to meet Miao Renfeng at this time.
Cheng Lingsu said quietly: "There's nothing else, except that the jade phoenix can't be lost." Hu Fei told her the main thing, blushed, and said, "Wait here for a while, I'll rush back to get the burden, otherwise I won't be here today." There is no money for dinner and hotel." Cheng Lingsu said: "I have silver, even gold." He took out two small ingots of gold from his bosom.Hu Fei said: "The most important thing is the book of boxing scriptures handed down by my family. I am determined not to lose it." Cheng Lingsu reached into his arms, took out his book of boxing scriptures and swords, and said lightly: "But this one?"
Hu Fei was surprised and happy, and said: "You are so careful, you have taken care of everything for me." Cheng Lingsu said: "It's a pity that I lost that jade phoenix on the road. I'm really sorry." As if joking, he felt anxious, and said: "I'll look back, maybe I can find it." Then he turned his head and left.Cheng Lingsu suddenly said: "Hey, what is that shining here?" Reaching out into the grass, he picked up an ornament, which shone brightly, and it was the jade phoenix.
Hu Fei was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "You are a female Zhuge, Xiao Zhangliang, and Xiao Ke is willing to worship the phoenix." Cheng Lingsu said: "Seeing this jade phoenix, it looks like you like it. Give it back to you!" Daopu and Yufeng were returned to him, and said: "Brother Hu, we will meet later."
Hu Fei was startled, and said: "Are you angry?" Cheng Lingsu said: "Why am I angry?" But his eyes turned red, tears were about to drip, and he turned his head away.Hu Fei said: "You... where are you going?" Cheng Lingsu said, "I don't know." Give me a jade phoenix or a jade unicorn, I... how do I know where to go." At this point, tears finally flowed down.
Since Hu Fei met her, he has seen that she is thoughtful and has the upper hand in every way, and any difficulty comes to his hands, all of which are easily solved, but at this time, seeing her standing quietly in the dawn wind, the waning moon slanting, and her timid back trembling slightly, he couldn't help it. Dasheng felt pity and said, "Miss Ling, I will give you a ride."
Cheng Lingsu turned his back on his back, wiped away his tears with the corner of his clothes, and said, "I'm not going anywhere, what are you sending me for? You want me to heal Miao Renfeng's eyes, and I have already cured them."
Hu Fei wanted to make her happy, and said, "But there is still one thing I haven't done." Cheng Lingsu turned around and asked, "What?" Hu Fei said: "I beg you to heal Miao Renfeng, and you also ask me for one thing It's something. What's the matter, you haven't said it yet."
Cheng Lingsu was a young girl, and she burst into laughter suddenly, and said, "If you don't mention it, I forgot. This is called self-inflicted crime, and you can't live. Well, you have to agree to whatever I want you to do, don't you?" Hu Fei is indeed No matter what she does for her willingly, she said proudly: "As long as I do what I can, I will follow my orders."
Cheng Lingsu stretched out his hand and said, "Okay, give me that jade phoenix." Hu Fei was stunned, feeling very embarrassed, but after all he was a man who kept his word, and immediately handed over the jade phoenix.Cheng Lingsu refused to answer, and said, "What am I here for? I want you to smash it to pieces."
Hu Fei couldn't do anything about this matter, and he was stunned on the spot, looking at Cheng Lingsu, and then at the jade phoenix in his hand, not knowing what to do, Yuan Ziyi's pretty figure and face, flashed in his heart instantly Turned a few times.
Cheng Lingsu approached slowly, took Yufeng from his hand, put it in his arms, and said with a smile: "From now on, don't agree to others too easily. There are many things in the world, even though you promise, you can't." It's done. Well, let's go!" Hu Fei felt lost and felt an indescribable feeling, holding the pot of seven-heart crabapple for her, and followed behind.
At noon, we came to a big town.Hu Fei said: "Let's find a restaurant to eat, and then go buy two animals." Before the words were finished, I saw a middle-aged man in a satin robe with the appearance of a businessman coming forward, clasped his fists and said: "This is Mr. Hu Hu Fei has never seen this person before, and said politely: "Don't dare, it's Xiaoke. May I ask your surname, how can I know Xiaoke?" The man smiled and said: "The villain is waiting here for the order of the master." For a long time, please use some roughness here." He said respectfully and led the two of them to a restaurant. The shop assistant in the restaurant didn't wait for the man's order, and immediately served wine and food.It is rough, but it is a very rich and delicate banquet.Both Hu Fei and Cheng Lingsu were surprised.But seeing the businessman sitting next to the prime minister and not saying a word about who invited them, the two of them didn't ask, and ate some casually. After the dinner and dinner, the businessman said: "Please rest here, both of you." When I got out of the restaurant, I had already brought three big horses over.The three of them got on their horses, and the businessman led the way. They galloped out of the town for five or six miles, and arrived in front of a large villa.But seeing weeping willows surrounding the house, white walls and black doors, it is very grand. There were six or seven servants standing in front of the gate of the manor, and when they saw the businessman coming, they all stood with their hands down.The businessman invited Hu Fei and Cheng Lingsu to the hall for tea, and the table was full of fruit and snacks.Hu Fei thought to himself: "If I ask him why he received him like this, he will definitely not say it when he is not ready, and let him make a fuss. I will just adapt to the situation." people.The businessman just accompanied them respectfully, and didn't interrupt the conversation between the two of them. After eating the snacks, the businessman said: "Master Hu and this girl are exhausted from the journey, please take a bath and change clothes in the inner room." Hu Fei thought to himself: "Hearing from his tone, it seems that he doesn't know Miss Cheng's background. Yao Wang's disciple poisoned himself, just asking for trouble." Then he followed the servant into the inner hall.Another servant woman came to wait on Cheng Lingsu and went to the back building to take a bath. The two rested for a while, and went to the hall again, you looked at me, I looked at you, but the clothes and shoes on each other's bodies were completely new.Cheng Lingsu laughed in a low voice: "Brother Hu, are you celebrating the New Year? You are so neatly dressed." Hu Fei saw that her face was lightly covered with makeup and powder, which slightly increased her beauty, and said with a smile: "You are like a bride. "Cheng Lingsu blushed and turned his head away.Hu Fei secretly regretted her slip of the tongue, but when she peeked at her, there was no anger on her face, only a mischievous and shy look in her eyes. At this time, there was already plenty of wine and food in the hall. The businessman toasted three glasses of wine to Hu Fei, turned around and entered, and when he returned, he held a tray in his hand. There was a red cloth bundle on the tray. On the cover of his notebook, there are nine words "Respectfully presented to Uncle Hu Yinfei and Na".He held the book in both hands, presented it to Hu Fei, and said, "The villain is ordered by the master to present this small gift to Uncle Hu." Hu Fei didn't accept the book, and asked, "Who is your master? Why did you give me a small gift?" The businessman said: "I ordered you not to mention his name. Uncle Hu will naturally know in the future." Hu Fei was so surprised that he took the brocade book , Turned it over, and saw that the first page read: "415 acres of high-quality paddy fields and 70 cents". A few and so on. Hu Fei was amazed and thought: "What do I want these more than 400 acres of paddy fields for?" Turning to the second page, he saw: "There is one Zhuangzi, five entrances, twelve buildings and seventy-three bungalows." Below is also a detailed note of Zhuangzi's four places in the southeast, north and west, as well as the name of each house, gardens, halls, wing rooms, as well as stoves, firewood houses, stables, etc., all written clearly in small characters.Turning it down further, it is the name of the servants and servants in Zhuangzi, who have all the daily gold and silver, grain, livestock, cars, furniture, clothes, etc. Hu Fei flipped through it and was very confused. He handed the book to Cheng Lingsu and said, "Look." Cheng Lingsu read it again, but couldn't figure out what the intention was, and said with a smile: "Gong Xi Fa Cai, Gong Xi Fa Cai!" The businessman said: "I said that I was in a hurry and didn't prepare well. It's really not respectful." Hu Fei asked: "What is your surname?" The businessman said: "The villain's surname is Zhang. The land and real estate here will be temporarily managed by the villain for Uncle Hu. Uncle Hu sees that there is something wrong, so he only needs to order. The deeds are all here, please take care of Mr. Hu." He said and presented a lot of papers.Hu Fei said: "You put it away. As the saying goes: You don't get rewarded without merit. I may not be able to accept such a generous gift." The businessman said: "Uncle Hu is too modest. My boss only said that the courtesy is too thin, and I really feel sorry for him." .” Hu Fei has traveled all over the world since he was a child, and he has seen a lot of strange things, but he has never heard of such a sudden receipt of such a generous gift, and the person who gave the gift avoided seeing each other.Judging by the behavior of this surnamed Zhang, he definitely doesn't know martial arts, and there is no aura of a martial arts figure in his conversation. It seems that he is only following the orders of others, and he doesn't necessarily know the inside story. After dinner and dinner, Hu Fei and Cheng Lingsu went to the study to rest.But seeing the books on the four walls in the study, several rows of catalpas, and Chen Yaoqin, it is very elegant.A book boy brought tea and then retreated, leaving only Hu Cheng and two in the room. Cheng Lingsu smiled and said: "Mr. Hu, I didn't expect you to become a master here." Hu Fei couldn't help laughing when he thought about it, but then frowned and said: "I think the person who gave the gift must have malicious intentions, but I really can't guess this person." Who is it? What is the purpose of doing this?" Cheng Lingsu said: "Could it be Miao Renfeng?" Hu Fei shook his head and said: "Although this person has a deep hatred with me, I think he is upright, and he is really a A good man, don't do such sneaky things." Cheng Lingsu said: "If you help him defeat the enemy, he will give you a generous gift. First, he wants to thank you, and second, he hopes to resolve the grudge. I'm afraid it's kindness." Hu Fei Said: "How can the surname Hu look at the gold and silver fields and forget the great hatred of his parents? No, no! Miao Renfeng will not underestimate me like this." Cheng Lingsu stuck out his tongue and said: "That's true I underestimated you." The two discussed it for a long time, but they couldn't see any clues, so they decided to stay here overnight, at least to search for some clues.At night, Hu Fei slept peacefully in the big room in the back hall, but Cheng Lingsu's boudoir was located upstairs next to the garden.Hu Fei has never lived in such a magnificent house in his life, and it is even more incredible that this house belongs to him. He slept until the second watch, gently pushed the window and jumped out, ran to the roof, bent down and looked, and saw that the lights in the backyard to the west were still on, so he started to lighten his body and ran over.The eaves are hooked with feet, and there is an "upside-down bead curtain". Looking in from the crack of the window, I saw Didi, surnamed Zhang, doing his own calculations, and another old family member was by his side.The man surnamed Zhang wrote a few accounts, and then talked to the family, talking about trivial matters such as salary and rice. After listening for a long time, Hu Fei was clueless, and was about to turn around when he heard a soft sound on the east roof.He turned over and stood up straight, holding the handle of the knife, only to see that it was Cheng Lingsu who came.She made a gesture, and Hu Fei jumped over.Cheng Lingsu whispered: "I've looked at it before and after, and there's nothing strange about it. Did you see anything?" Hu Fei shook his head.The two went back to their rooms respectively, and they were on guard this night, thinking over and over again, but they didn't sleep soundly. When I got up the next morning, a boy servant had already brought bird's nest with ginseng soup, followed by noodle dumplings and snacks, but Hu Fei had another pot of champion red wine.Hu Fei thought to himself: "With a spiritual girl as a companion, it's not lonely to talk about it. Living here can be said to be carefree and happy." Suddenly, he changed his mind: "That bully surnamed Feng killed Zhong Ahsi's family. If I don't avenge this wrong, what face do I have to stand between heaven and earth?" Thinking of this, his blood boiled in his chest, and he said to Cheng Lingsu: "Let's leave now. Right?" Cheng Lingsu didn't ask him where he was going, and replied: "Okay, it's time to go." The two went back to the bedroom and changed into old clothes.Hu Fei said to the businessman surnamed Zhang: "Let's go!" After saying this, he walked away.The man surnamed Zhang was stunned, and said: "This...this...how can you walk so fast? Hu Da... Hu Da, the villain is going to prepare the travel expenses. Please wait for a while." Wait for him to go in and serve A large plate of gold and silver ingots came out, and Hu Cheng and his wife had already left.
The two of them took big strides and headed north. At noon, they arrived at a market. After inquiring, they found out that the place where they stayed last night was called Yitang Town.Hu Fei took out the silver and bought two horses, and they rode side by side, talking about yesterday's miracle. Cheng Lingsu said: "We eat and drink for nothing, live and sleep for nothing, and it doesn't hurt anything at all. In this way, the master doesn't seem to have any evil intentions." Hu Fei said: "I always feel that this matter is yin and yang, very strange. It's a bit evil." Cheng Lingsu said with a smile: "I hope that there will be more such evil things, and the yin and yang will be weird along the way. Hey, Mr. Hu, where are you going?" Hu Fei said: "I want Go to Beijing. You also go to have fun, okay?" Cheng Lingsu said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm just afraid it will be inconvenient." Hu Feiqi said: "What's the inconvenience?" Cheng Lingsu said with a smile: "Mr. Hu, go To visit the girl who gave the jade phoenix, do I have to bring a maid with me?" Hu Fei said seriously: "No, I'm going to hunt down an enemy. Although this man's martial arts is not very high, he has many eyes and ears, cunning and wisdom. I hope Miss Ling will help me." Zhong Ahsi's family, how they met in the temple to avoid the rain, how they escaped again, and so on. When Cheng Lingsu heard him talk about the encounter in the ancient temple and Fengtiannan Heiye Rabbit's passage, there were some inaccuracies in his words, and he said: "The girl who gave the jade phoenix is also in the ancient temple, isn't she?" Hu Fei I was taken aback, thinking that she is extremely smart, anyway, I didn't do anything wrong, so I don't need to hide it from her, so I simply talked about how I met Yuan Ziyi, how she won the position of head of the three sects, and how she rescued Feng Tiannan Waiting for love, I also said it from beginning to end. Cheng Lingsu asked: "This Miss Yuan is a beauty, isn't she?" Hu Fei was startled slightly, blushing, and said: "It's pretty." Cheng Lingsu said: "It's much prettier than my ugly girl, yes no?" Hu Fei didn't expect her to ask such a straight-forward question, so he couldn't help being quite embarrassed, and said: "Who said you are an ugly girl? Miss Yuan is a few years older than you, so she is naturally taller." Cheng Lingsu smiled and said: "I When I was eight years old, I used my mother's mirror to play with. My sister said: "It's ugly, don't take a picture! It's still ugly when you look at it." Humph! I ignored her, and guess what happened?" Hu Fei felt a chill in his heart, and thought to himself: "You shouldn't poison your sister to death." He said, "I don't know." Cheng Lingsu heard his voice trembling slightly, his face had a strange look, guessed his thoughts, and said: "Are you afraid that I will poison my sister to death? I was only eight years old at that time. Well, the next day, the mirror at home turned on It's gone." Hu Fei said: "That's strange." Cheng Lingsu said: "It's not surprising at all, I threw them all into the well." She paused and said, "But after I threw the mirror, I immediately threw it into the well." I understand. I was born an ugly girl, even if there is no mirror, she is still ugly. The water surface in the well is a round mirror, which can clearly reflect my appearance. At that time, I really wanted to jump Go to the well and die." When she said this, she suddenly raised her whip and lashed the horse's buttocks, and rushed forward. Hu Fei followed with his horse, and the two rode for more than ten miles at a stretch before Cheng Lingsu reined in the horse's head.Hu Fei saw that her eyes were red, and she was crying just now. He didn't dare to look at her more, thinking: "Although you are not as beautiful as Miss Yuan, you are by no means an ugly girl. Besides, a person's morality is the first, and intelligence is the first." Second, whether you are born with good looks or not, why should you be sad? You are smart in everything, why can’t you just ignore it?” Looking at her thin silhouette, she felt pity in her heart, and said, “I have something to ask for. , I don’t know if you are willing to agree, I don’t know if I can climb high?” Cheng Lingsu trembled, and said in a trembling voice: "You... what did you say?" Hu Fei looked from behind her, saw that her ears and half of her cheeks were all red, and said, "You and I have no parents or relatives. You sworn brothers and sisters, do you agree?" Cheng Lingsu's cheeks turned pale in an instant, and he laughed loudly: "Okay, what's wrong with that? I have such an elder brother, I really wish for it?" Hu Fei couldn't help feeling embarrassed when she heard the sarcasm in her tone, and said: "I am sincere." Cheng Lingsu said: "Am I lying?" Once bent, he knelt on the ground.Seeing that she was so straightforward, Hu Fei also knelt on the ground, bowed to the sky a few times, and kowtowed to each other. Cheng Lingsu said: "Everyone says that we have to kowtow eight times... one, two, three, four... seven, eight... Well, I'm a younger sister, so I kowtow two more." , and then stood up. Seeing her words and actions, Hu Fei suddenly became slightly mad, and he became a little unnatural, and said: "From now on, I will call you the second sister." Cheng Lingsu said: "Yes, you are the eldest brother. Why don't we Make an oath of alliance, what do you say that you share blessings and difficulties together?" Hu Fei said: "The value of friendship lies in the alliance of the heart, it is the same whether you say it or not." Cheng Lingsu said: "Ah, so it is." Said, he jumped on the horseback, This day until dusk, I never spoke to Hu Fei again.
The two of them arrived in Anlu in the evening, and as soon as they galloped into the entrance of the market, a waiter came up to hold the horse's head and said, "This is Uncle Hu, right? Please come to the shop to rest your horse." Hu Feiqi said, "Why do you Do you know?" The waiter in the shop said with a smile: "I have been waiting here for a long time." So he led the way and let the two of them enter an inn with a spacious building.But only one room was left in the upper house, so another room was opened, and there was no need to order tea, wine and rice, and the price of the water would be sent up.Hu Fei asked the waiter in the shop who told him to wait like this.The waiter in the shop smiled and said, "Uncle Hu in Yitang Town, who doesn't know?" When he checked out the next morning, the shopkeeper bowed again and again, saying that he had already paid, and he was only willing to accept the few coins that Hu Fei gave to the shop partner as a reward. . It was like this for several days.Although Hu Fei and Cheng Lingsu are very wise and scheming people, but limited by their age and experience, they can't see through this quack trick. After leaving on the fourth day, Cheng Lingsu said: "Brother, I have been paying attention for the past few days. If there is no one following us, then someone must have told you about your appearance in the future and ordered someone to wait for you. Let's disguise yourself, and then come from the side Take a look, maybe you can find out the truth." Hu Fei said happily: "This plan is great." The two bought two sets of clothes, shoes and hats in the market, went to the outskirts, and changed their clothes in a deserted forest.Cheng Lingsu cut his hair into a false beard and stuck it on Hu Fei's lips, pretending him to be a middle-aged man in his forties, but he himself put on a long gown and a small cap, turning into a thin and small young man.The two looked at each other and laughed at each other.When they arrived at the front market, the two even exchanged their mounts for donkeys.Hu Fei wrapped the single sword in his baggage, bought a dry pipe, took a few puffs, and puffed out the smoke. With this look, no matter how good his eyesight is, no one else would recognize him. When I arrived in Guangshui that evening, I saw two store associates standing beside the avenue, stretching their necks and looking around. Hu Fei knew that they were waiting for him, so he couldn't help laughing secretly, and went to the store. Seeing that the two looked shabby, the shopkeeper was lazy to greet Complacently, they were given two side courtyards.The two shop assistants waited until it was dark before returning to the shop listlessly.Hu Fei called a person in, chatted nonsense with him, and wanted to hear some news from him.Just talking a few gossips, suddenly there was a sound of horseshoes on the road, and the sound was more than one time.The shop assistant said happily, "Uncle Hu is here." He rushed out of the shop. Hu Fei thought in his heart: "Uncle Hu is here early, I told you what happened, you don't know yet." He went to the lobby to watch the excitement.Only the noise of people was heard, and the innkeeper said loudly: "It's not Uncle Hu, it's the high-ranking official of the Escort Bureau." Then a man walked in, holding a dart flag in his hand, and stuck it in the bamboo tube outside the inn.
When Hu Fei looked at the dart flag, he was stunned. He saw that the dart flag had a yellow background and black lines, embroidered with a horse with wings on its back. He had seen this dart flag before in the merchant fort, and recognized it as the Pegasus Escort Bureau. He thought that the owner of the bodyguard bureau, Baisheng Shenquan Ma Xingkong, had already been burned to death in Shangshangbao, and he didn't know who would be the head of the bodyguard right now.Seeing that the dart flag is broken and faded, it hasn't been changed for many years, and the executioner on that trip is also old and decrepit, it seems that the current situation of Pegasus Escort Bureau is not so prosperous. He came in with the head of the escort, but he was a man of high spirits, but seeing the countless small scars on his face, Hu Fei recognized him as Ma Xingkong's disciple Xu Zheng.Behind him is a young woman in a strong dress, holding a boy in each hand, it is Ma Chunhua, Ma Xingkong's daughter. Hu Fei had been separated from her for several years. At this time, although she was still beautiful, she couldn't hide the weathered and haggard face.The two boys are only about four years old, but they are snow-white and cute, especially the two have exactly the same appearance, obviously they are a pair of twin brothers.Only a boy said: "Mom, I'm hungry, I want some noodles." Ma Chunhua lowered his head and said, "Okay, let's eat together after Dad washes his face." Hu Fei thought to himself: "It turns out that his brothers and sisters are married and have two children." That year he was captured by the old lady Shang in Shangshangbao, and was whipped by Shang Baozhen. Things are always on my mind.We met in a foreign land today, if he didn't want to be recognized by others, he would have gone up to recognize Daogu. The owner of the inn never dared to offend the Escort Bureau, although seeing that the Pegasus Escort Bureau was only a single escort vehicle, and everyone's clothes were old and worn, it was expected that there was not much money to be made, but the shopkeeper still came forward to receive him hospitablely. When Xu Zheng heard that there was no upper room, he frowned, and was about to speak, when the trainer turned his hand from the inside and said, "Aren't the two upper rooms facing south vacant? Why are they gone?" The innkeeper smiled and said: "Forgive me, the high official. The two rooms were booked the day before yesterday, and the money has been paid, and it is agreed to be used tonight." Wronged, after hearing this, I stretched out my hand and slapped hard on the ledger, and I was about to explode.Ma Chunhua hurriedly tugged on his sleeves, and said, "Forget it, just stay here for a night, that's all." Xu Zheng really listened to his wife, gave the shopkeeper a hard look, and walked into the small room facing west.Ma Chunhua took the two children and said in a low voice: "The fee for this single escort is so meager, if you don't deal with it, you will still lose money. If you don't live in a house, it would be good to save some money." Xu Zheng said: "That's not bad. But I just look at these low-spirited guys and get angry." It turned out that after Ma Xingkong's death, Xu Zhenghe and Chunhua got married soon, and they took over the Pegasus Escort.Xu Zheng's martial arts prestige is certainly not as good as his master's, but he was born with a straightforward mind, and he couldn't make good use of his friends in the world. In three or four years, he ran into obstacles several times, but each time he was defeated by Ma Chunhua's various methods. Only then did I make up for it and sew it up.But in this way, the Pegasus Escort's business plummeted, and the big business would never come to the door.This time, a salt merchant wanted to send a sum of money to Baoding Mansion in Zhili, Beizhili. The amount was only 9,000 taels.Xu Zheng and his wife had always walked darts together, Ma Chunhua felt that there were no reliable relatives at home, and she was worried about the child, so she took them with her out, thinking that there would be no risk on the way here for a mere nine thousand taels of silver.
Hu Fei glanced at the escort car, walked to Cheng Lingsu's room, and said, "Second sister, this escort couple is my old acquaintance." So he briefly talked about how he met them in the merchant fort. Cheng Lingsu said: "Do you recognize them?" Hu Fei said: "When Ming'er becomes enlightened and goes to a remote and uninhabited place, then we will come forward to recognize each other." Cheng Lingsu said with a smile: "A remote and uninhabited place? Ah, That's amazing! They don't think you mustache is a strong person who robs darts." Hu Fei smiled and said: "This dart is not worth Hu Dazhai's initiative. Master Cheng Erzhai, what do you think?" Cheng Lingsu laughed. : "Look at that escort who has no money on him, he is very poor. You and my brothers are also good at robbers, so you can't help but go forward and give him a few ingots of gold." Hu Fei laughed.He really had the intention of donating money, but he just wanted to figure out a proper way, and he had to be respectful when donating money. After the two had dinner, Hu Fei went back to his room and went to bed. He slept until midnight, when he suddenly heard a light click on the roof.Although he was asleep, he was startled immediately, turned over and sat up, stepped down the kang, and heard that there were two people in the room.The two clapped their hands lightly and jumped down from the roof.Hu Fei stood at the window and thought to himself: "Where are these two people coming from, they are so bold and act like no one else?" Stretching out his fingers to poke through the window paper, he looked out, and saw that both of them were wearing long gowns, without weapons in their hands, and pushed them away. Facing the door of the upper room facing south, he walked in, followed the flash of the fire, and lit the lamp. Hu Fei thought to himself: "It turns out that these two people know the owner of the shop, and they are not bad people." Back on the kang, he suddenly heard the sound of slippers being tapped and tapped, and the waiter walked to the door of the upper room and shouted: "Who is it? Why? In the middle of the night, you didn't go through the door, just jumped down like this?" He shouted, walked into the upper room, and just stepped in, he yelled "Ah yo", followed by a bang, and " My mother, you've killed me!" I cried, and it turned out that someone threw me out, and I fell solidly into the yard. With such a noise, everyone in the store woke up.One of the two long-clothed guests stood at the door of the upper room and said loudly: "We are ordered by the master of the Jigong Mountain King to step on the plate and rob the dart money tonight. We are looking for the head of the Pegasus Escort Bureau. Wait, don't do your own business, go back to your room and sleep peacefully, so as not to accidentally injure someone's life." Xu Zheng and Ma Chunhua woke up a long time ago, they couldn't help being startled and angry when they heard him screaming like this, thinking that such a powerful thief like him, he must not bully him into the inn, this Guangshui is not a small place, such a Lawless, but I've never seen it before.Xu Zheng said in a loud voice: "The one surnamed Xu is here, and the two good friends will keep their children." The man laughed and said, "You give nine thousand taels of silver and a dart flag to the uncle with both hands, that's all. , what do you want to ask the uncle? Let's see you later." As they said, they clapped their hands twice, and the two flew into the room. Xu Zheng raised his right hand, and two steel darts shot upwards.The man in the back copied it back, caught it with the other hand, and then threw it downward. With a bang, sparks splashed in all directions, and they all landed one foot in front of Xu Zheng. Both darts were nailed into the bluestone slabs in the courtyard. , Xu Zheng absolutely couldn't do it with such strength.I only heard the two laughing on the house, followed the sound of horseshoes, and headed north. The shopkeepers and residents waited for the two thugs to go away, and now there was a lot of discussion, some said to report to the police quickly, and some persuaded Xu Zheng to take a detour. Xu Zheng kept silent, pulled out two steel darts, and returned to the room.The husband and wife discussed in low voices, seeing that these two people's martial arts are quite extraordinary, they must be famous figures in the martial arts world, how could they take a fancy to this little dart?Although he knew that the future was not good, but a dart went out, the rule was that there was no retreat, and he must not turn back, otherwise the escort agency would be considered as smashing the signboard.Xu Zheng said angrily: "Friends in the underworld are becoming more and more bullying. Will we still be able to eat like this in the future? I will risk my life if I don't want it, so I have to fuck them. These two children... ..." Ma Chunhua said: "We have no grievances or enmities with those in the underworld. At most, it's just a matter of money, and it doesn't kill anyone. It doesn't matter if you take the children with you." These two young children should be allowed to accompany their parents to take risks in the world. Hu Fei and Cheng Lingsu saw everything clearly through the window, and they were also secretly surprised. They felt that there were many unexplainable things along the way. Encountered the strange thing of Pegasus Escort.
In the early morning of the next day, the escort cars of the Pegasus Escort Bureau went together, and Hu Fei and Cheng Lingsu followed closely behind.Xu Zheng saw that the two of them were following closely, and the more he looked at the road, the more wrong it became. He guessed that the two of them must be thieves, and they looked back and glared at each other from time to time.Hu Cheng and the two pretended not to see each other. At noon, Hu Cheng and the Pegasus Escort also ate beef noodle cakes with Pegasus Escort.In the evening, about forty miles away from Wushengguan, only the sound of horseshoes was heard, and two horses galloped towards each other.Immediately, the passengers, wearing gray cloth robes, passed by the escort car and went straight to the side of Hu Cheng and the two of them. Then they drove close together, laughing and hearing the voices were the two thugs from last night. Hu Fei said: "Wait until they catch up from behind, and within a few miles, they will start." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes in front, and two more horses passed by. Vigorous, obviously a figure in the world.Hu Fei said: "Strange, strange!" After less than a mile of travel, two more horses rushed towards him, followed by two more horses. Seeing this powerful faction, Xu Zheng had already lost his mind, instead of being angry, he smiled, and said, "Junior Sister, Master once said, the first-class big village in the green forest, the first-class big dart that mobilizes the crowd to rob, then the first-class big dart is the only one." Six masters were sent to scout the plate, and today we even sent eight masters, followed by two lingering ghosts. I'm afraid our bodyguards here are not nine thousand taels of silver, but nine million, nine thousand taels. Ten thousand taels!" Ma Chunhua couldn't figure out why the enemy came to deal with this insignificant dart with such great fanfare, but the more he didn't understand, the more worried he became, and he said to Xu Zheng and Qu Zishou: "The situation is not right later, let's bring It is important for the child to escape for his life. The nine thousand taels of silver is not a big amount, and he can still afford it." Xu Zheng said boldly, "Master's first name, is it just given to us, a disciple who is not good enough?" Chunhua said sadly: "It's for the sake of the children. From now on, my husband and I will plow the fields and work in agriculture, and eat a hard meal, so we won't do such desperate activities with knives." Speaking of this, he suddenly heard the sound of hooves galloping behind him, and when he looked back, the dust was flying, and the eight horses rushed up from behind.With a long cry, a loud arrow flew over his head, followed by eight horses galloping towards him. Hu Fei said: "Look at the momentum, these people are probably coming for us." Cheng Lingsu nodded and said: "The field is back to the farmer!" Hu Fei said: "Our transformation will not work after all, but we were recognized." At this time, the eight horses in the front and the eight horses in the back all reined in and did not move, and they had sandwiched the escort and Hu Cheng in the middle. Xu Zheng got off his horse, flashed his single saber, clasped his fists and said, "I'm Xu..." After only three words, an old man among the eight horses in front suddenly jumped off his horse, leaped forward, holding a strange-shaped weapon in his hand, and said a word Without saying anything, he threw it at Xu Zheng's face. Hu Fei and Cheng Lingsu reined in their horses, and it was strange to see the weapon in the old man's hand. There was a horizontal bar in front, curved like a snake, and behind the horizontal bar was a T-shaped handshake. The two ends of the horizontal bar were sharp, like a deformed crane. The appearance of a hoe.Hu Fei didn't know this thing, and asked Cheng Lingsu, "What is that?" Before Cheng Lingsu could answer, a bandit behind him smiled and said, "Old boy, I'll teach you to be a good boy. This is called Thunderbolt." Cheng Lingsu said, "Thunderbolt doesn't work with Lightning Cone, and martial arts are normal." The robber froze for a moment, stopped making a sound, looked sideways at Cheng Lingsu, thinking that this skinny boy also knew about lightning cones.It turned out that the old man was his senior brother, and the bandit himself used the lightning awl.The masters of the two of them use the lightning awl with the right hand and the thunder block with the left hand, one attack and one defense, the changes are extremely wonderful.But these two weapons are one long and the other short, and when used with both hands, they complement each other. Although they are very powerful, they are also very difficult. His two brothers each have the skills of their master's hand, and they still can't learn to use two weapons at the same time. .The two of them have been outside the Great Wall since they were young, and they have not been in the Central Plains for a long time, and his lightning awl was hidden in his sleeve, and he did not take it out.His master, Master Wang Wu'an, who knows Cheng Lingsu, has a wide range of knowledge and knowledge, and usually tells this favorite little disciple about various martial arts. Therefore, although she has never seen Lei Zhenbu, she knows him when she hears his name. There is a lightning cone. But seeing the old man unleash his weapon, it was indeed thunderous.Although Xu Zheng's single-handed kung fu was not weak, he was gradually unable to use it because he was blocked by the thunder. I only heard the 15 thieves before and after you say something, and I say something, ridiculing: "What Pegasus Escort Agency? Back then, Ma Lao Escort was called the word "Pegasus" when he was in the darts, and it was in the hands of Xu. It's time to change the name to the Dog Climbing Escort!" "This kid learned how to use two hands and three legs. He doesn't hold a baby at home, but comes outside to shame the world." "Hey, Xu, quickly kneel down and kowtow three times, our elder brother will forgive you Your dog's life." "The escort is so stupid, even 9,000 taels of silver are guaranteed, why not buy a piece of tofu and kill yourself!" This pussy boy is really sorry for Master." "I see his wife is ten times stronger than him, it's really a flower stuck in cow dung! It makes people look angry." After listening to everyone's words, Hu Fei thought that these thieves knew Xu Zheng's details very well. Not only did they know his background as a teacher, but they also knew how much money he had insured in total. She was mean, but she did not offend Ma Chunhua and her deceased father at all, and even seemed quite respectful.胡斐虽然不识雷震挡，但那老者功力不弱，出手既狠且准，却是一眼便知，不由得暗自奇怪：“这老头儿虽不能说是江湖上的第一流好手，但如此武功，必是个颇有身分的成名人物。瞧各人的作为，决非冲着这区区九千两银子而来。但若是田归农派来跟我为难，却又何必费这么大的劲儿去对付徐铮？” 马春花在旁瞧得焦急万分，她早知丈夫不是人家对手，然而自己上前相助，只不过多引一个敌人下场，于事丝毫无补，两个儿子无人照料，却势必落入盗众手中。眼睁睁的瞧着丈夫越来越是不济，突见那老者将蛇形兵器往前疾送，圈转回拉，徐铮单刀脱手，飞上半天，她“啊”的一声叫了出来。 那老者左足横扫，徐铮急跃避过。那单刀从半空落将下来，盗众中一人举起长剑，往上一撩，一柄钢刀登时断为两截。那盗伙身手好快，长剑跟着一劈一削，又将尚未落地的两截断刀斩成四截。他手中所持的固是极锋利的宝剑，而出手之迅捷，更是使人目为之眩。群盗齐声喝彩。 瞧这情势，哪里是拦路劫镖，实是对徐铮存心戏弄！单是这手持长剑的大盗一人，打败徐铮夫妇便已绰绰有余，何况同伙共有一十六人，看来个个都是好手，个个笑傲自若，便如十六头灵猫围住了一只小鼠，要戏耍个够，才分而吞噬。 徐铮红了双眼，双臂挥舞，招招都是拚命的拳式，但那老者雷震挡的铁柄长逾四尺，徐铮如何欺得近身去？数招之间，只听得嗤的一声响，雷震挡的尖端划破了徐铮裤脚，大腿上鲜血长流，接着又是一响，徐铮左臀中挡。那老者抬起一腿，将他踢翻在地，一脚踏住，冷笑道：“我也不要你性命，只要废了你的一对招子，罚你不生眼睛，太也胡涂。”徐铮又是害怕，又是愤怒，胸口气为之塞，说不出话来。 马春花叫道：“众位朋友，你们要镖银，拿去便是。我们跟各位往日无冤，近日无仇，何必赶尽杀绝？”那使剑的大盗笑道：“马姑娘，你是好人，不用多管闲事。” 马春花道：“什么多管闲事？他是我丈夫啊。”使雷震挡的老者道：“我们就是瞧着他太也不配，委曲了才貌双全的马姑娘，这才千里迢迢的赶来。这个抱不平非打不可！” 胡斐和程灵素越听越是奇怪，均想：“这批大盗居然来管人家夫妻的家务事，还说什么打抱不平，当真好笑。”两人对望一眼，目光中均含笑意。 便在此时，那老者举起雷震挡，挡尖对准徐铮右眼，戳了下去。马春花大叫一声，抢上相救，呼的一响，马上一个盗伙手中花枪从空刺下，将她拦住。两个小孩齐叫：“爸爸！”向徐铮身边奔去。
突然间一个灰影一晃，那老者手腕上一麻，急忙翻挡迎敌，手里蓦然间轻了，原来手中兵刃竟已不知去向，惊怒中抬起头来，只见那灰影跃上马背，自己的独门兵刃雷震挡却已给他拿在手中舞弄，白光闪闪，转成一个圆圈。 如此倏来倏去，一瞬之间下马上马，空手夺了他雷震挡的，正是胡斐！ 众盗相顾骇然，顷刻间寂静无声，竟无一人说话，人人均为眼前之事惊得呆了。过了半晌，各人才纷纷呼喝，举刀挺杖，奔向胡斐。 胡斐大叫道：“是线上的合字儿吗？风紧，扯呼，老窑里来了花门的，三刀兔儿爷换着走，咱们胡子上开洞，财神菩萨上山！”群盗又是一怔，听他说的黑话不像黑话，不知瞎扯些什么。 那雷震挡被夺的老者怒道：“朋友，你是哪一路的，来搅这淌浑水干么？” 胡斐道：“兄弟专做没本钱买卖，好容易跟上了飞马镖局的九千两银子，没想到半路里杀出来十六个程咬金。各位要分一份，这不叫人心疼么？”那老者冷笑道：“哼，朋友别装蒜啦，趁早留下个万儿来是正经。” 徐铮于千钧一发之际逃得了性命，搂住了两个儿子。马春花站在他的身旁，睁着一双大眼望住胡斐，一时之间还不明白眼前到底发生了何事。她只道胡斐和程灵素也必都是盗伙一路，那知他却和那老者争了起来。 只见胡斐伸手一抹上唇的小胡子，咬着烟袋，说道：“好，我跟你实说了罢。神拳无敌马行空是我师弟，师侄的事儿，老人家不能不管。” 胡斐此语一出，马春花吃了一惊，心想：“哪里出来了这样一个师伯？我从没听爹爹说过，而且这人年纪比爹爹轻得多，哪能是师伯？” 程灵素在一旁见他装腔作势，忍不住要笑出声来，但见他大敌当前，身在重围，仍能漫不在意的言笑自若，却也不禁佩服他的胆色。 那老者将信将疑，哼的一声，说道：“尊驾是马老镖头的师兄？年岁不像啊，我们也没听说马老镖头有什么师兄。”胡斐道：“我门中只管入门先后，不管年纪大小。马行空是什么大人物了，还用得着冒充他师兄么？” 先入师门为尊的规矩，武林中许多门派原都是有的。那老者向马春花望了一眼，察看她的脸色，转头又问胡斐道：“没请教尊驾的万儿。”胡斐抬头向天，说道：“我师弟叫神拳无敌马行空，区区在下便叫歪拳有敌牛耕田。”群盗一听，尽皆大笑。 这一句话明显是欺人的假话，那老者只因他空手夺了自己的兵刃，才跟他对答了这一阵子话，否则早就出手了。他性子本便躁急，听到“牛耕田”这三字，再也忍耐不住，虎吼一声，便向胡斐扑来。 胡斐勒马一闪，雷震挡一晃，那老者手中倏地多了一物，举手一看，却不是雷震挡是什么？物归原主，他本该喜欢，然而这兵刃并非自己夺回，却是对方塞入自己手中，瞧也没瞧清，莫名其妙的便得回了兵刃。 众盗齐声喝彩，叫道：“褚大哥好本事！”都道是他以空手入白刃的功夫抢回。这姓褚的老者却自知满不是那回事，当真是哑子吃黄连，说不出的苦。他微微一怔，说道：“尊驾插手管这档子事，到底为了什么？” 胡斐道：“老兄倒请先说说，我这两个师侄好好一对夫妻，何以要各位来打抱不平？”那老者说道：“多管闲事，于尊驾无益。我好言相劝，还是各行各路罢！”众盗均感诧异：“褚大哥平日多么霹雳火爆的性儿，今日居然这般沉得住气。” 胡斐笑道：“你这话再对也没有了，多管闲事无益。咱们大伙儿各行各路。请啊，请啊！”那老者退后三步，喝道：“你既不听良言，在下迫得要领教高招。”说着雷震挡一举，护住了胸口。 胡斐道：“单打独斗，有什么味道？可是人太多了，乱糟糟的也不大方便。这样吧，我牛耕田一人，斗斗你们三位。”说着提旱烟管向那使长剑的一指，又向那老者的师弟一指。 那使剑的相貌英挺，神情傲慢，仰天笑道：“好狂妄的老小子！”那姓褚的老者却早知胡斐决非易与之辈，一对一的跟他动手，也真没把握，他既自愿向三人挑战，正是求之不得，说道：“聂贤弟，上官师弟，他是自取其死，怨不得旁人，咱三个便一齐陪他玩玩。” 那姓聂的兀自不愿，说道：“谅这老小子怎是褚大哥的对手？要不，你师兄弟一齐出马，让大伙儿瞻仰瞻仰塞外'雷电交作'的绝技！”群盗轰然叫好。
胡斐摇头道：“年纪轻轻，便这般胆小，见不得大阵仗，可惜啊可惜。” 那姓聂的长眉一挑，跃下马来，低声道：“褚大哥请让一步，小弟独自来教训教训这狂徒。”胡斐道：“你要教训我歪拳有敌牛耕田，那也成。可是咱哥儿两话说在先，倘若我牛耕田输了，你要宰要杀，任凭处置。不过要是小兄弟你有一个失闪，那便如何？”那姓聂的冷笑道：“那是你痴心妄想。”胡斐笑道：“说不定老天爷保佑，小兄弟你竟有个三长两短，七荤八素，那便如何？”那姓聂的喝道：“谁跟你胡说八道？若我输了，也任凭你老小子处置便是。” 胡斐道：“任凭我老小子处置，那可不敢当，只是请各位宽宏大量，别再来管我师侄小夫妻俩的家务，这个抱不平，咱们就别打了吧！”那姓聂的好不耐烦，长剑一摆，闪起一道寒光，喝道：“便是这样！” 胡斐目光横扫众盗，说道：“这位聂家小兄弟的话，作不作准？倘若他输了，你们各位大爷还打不打抱不平？” 程灵素听到这里，再也忍耐不住，终于嗤的一声，笑了出来，心想他自己小小年纪，居然口口声声叫人家“小兄弟”，别人为了“鲜花插在牛粪上”，因而兴师动众的来打抱不平，此事已十分好笑，而他横加插手，又不许人家打抱不平，更是匪夷所思。 盗众素知那姓聂的剑术精奇，手中那口宝剑更是削铁如泥的利刃，出手斗这乡下土老儿小胡子，定是有胜无败。众人此行原本嘻嘻哈哈，当作一件极有趣的玩闹，途中多生事端，正是求之不得，于是纷纷说道：“你小胡子若是赢了一招半式，咱们大伙儿拍屁股便走，这个抱不平是准定不打的了！”胡斐道：“诸位说的是人话，就是这么办，这抱不平打不打得成，得瞧我小胡子的玩艺儿行不行。看招！”猛地举起旱烟管，往自己衣领中一插，跃下马来，一个踉跄，险些摔倒。 众人听他一声喝：“看招！”又见他举起烟管，都道他要以烟管当作兵器，那知他竟将烟管插在衣领之中，又见他下马的身法如此笨拙狼狈，旁观的十五个大盗之中，倒有十二三人笑了出来。 那姓聂的喝道：“你用什么兵刃，亮出来吧！”胡斐道：“黄牛耕田，得用犁耙！褚大寨主，你手里这件家伙倒像个犁耙，借来使使！”说着伸手出去，向那姓褚的老者借那雷震挡。 那老者见了他也真有些忌惮，倒退两步，怒道：“不借！谅你也不会使！”胡斐右手手掌朝天，始终摆着个乞讨的姿势，又道：“借一借何妨？”突然手臂一长一搭，那老者举挡欲架，不知怎的，手中忽空，那雷震挡竟又已到了胡斐手中。 那老者一惊非小，倒窜出一丈开外，脸上肌肉抽搐，如见鬼魅。 要知胡斐这路空手夺人兵刃的功夫，乃是他远祖飞天狐狸潜心钻研出来的绝技。当年飞天狐狸辅佐闯王李自成起兵打天下，凭着这手本领，不知夺过多少英雄好汉手中的兵器，当真是来无影，去无踪，神出鬼没，诡秘无比，“飞天狐狸”那四字外号，一半也是由此而来。 那姓聂壮汉见胡斐手中有了兵器，提剑便往他后心刺来。胡斐斜身闪开，回了一挡，跟着自左侧抢上，雷震挡回掠横刺。 姓褚的老者只瞧得张大了口，合不拢来，原来胡斐所使的招数，竟是他师父亲授的“六十四路轰天雷震挡法”，一模一样，全无二致。他那姓上官的师弟更是诧异，明明听得胡斐连雷震挡的名字也不识，使出来的挡法，却和师哥全然相同。他二人那想得到胡斐武功根底既好，人又聪明无比，瞧了那姓褚老者与徐铮打斗，早将招数记在心中。何况他所使招数虽然形似，其中用劲和变化的诸般法门，却绝不相干。 那姓聂的这时再也不敢轻慢，剑走轻灵，身手甚是便捷。胡斐所用兵刃全不顺手，兼之有意眩人耳目，招招依着那姓褚老者的武功法门而使，更加多了一层拘束，但见敌人长剑施展开来，寒光闪闪，剑法实非凡俗。他一面招架，心下寻思：“这十六人看来都是硬手，倘若一拥而上，我和二妹纵能脱身，徐铮一家四口一定糟糕，只有打败了这人，挤兑得他们不能动手，方是上策。”突见对手长剑一沉，知道不妙，待想如何变招，当的一声，雷震挡的一端已被利剑削去。 盗众眼见胡斐举止邪门，本来心中均自嘀咕，忽见那姓聂的得利，齐声欢呼。姓聂的精神一振，步步进逼。胡斐从褚姓老者那里学得的几招挡法，堪堪已经用完，心想再打下去马脚便露，眼见雷震挡被削去一端，心念一动，回挡斜砸，敌人长剑圈转，当的一声响，另一端也削去了。 胡斐叫道：“好，你这般不给褚大爷面子，毁了他成名的兵刃，未免太也不够朋友！” 姓聂的一怔，心想这话倒也有理。突然当的又是一响，胡斐竟将半截挡柄砸到他剑锋上去，手中只余下尺来长的一小截，又听他叫道：“会使雷震挡，不使闪电锥，武功也是稀松平常。”说着将一小截挡柄递出，便如破甲锥般使了出来。 姓上官的大盗先听他说闪电锥，不由得一惊，但瞧了他几路锥法，横戳直刺，全不是那一回事，这才放心，大声笑道：“这算那一门子的闪电锥？”胡斐道：“你学的不对，我的才对。”说着连刺急戳。其实他除单刀之外，什么兵器都不会使，这闪电锥只是装模作样，所厉害者全在一只左手，近身而搏，左手勾打锁拿，当真是“一寸短，一寸险”。 那姓聂的手中虽有利剑，竟是阻挡不住，被他攻得连连倒退，猛地里“啊”的一声大叫，两人同时向后跃开。只见胡斐身前晶光闪耀，那口宝剑已到了他的手里。 胡斐左膝一跪，从大道旁抓起一块二十来斤的大石，右手持剑，剑尖抵地，剑身横斜，左手高举大石，笑道：“这口宝剑锋利得紧，我来砸它几下，瞧是砸得断，砸不断？”说着作势便要将大石往剑身上砸去。 纵是天下最锋利的利剑，用大石砸在它平板的剑身上，也非一砸即断不可。那姓聂的对这口宝剑爱如性命，见了这般惨状，登时吓得脸色苍白，叫道：“在下认输便是。” 胡斐道：“我瞧这口好剑，未必一砸便断。”说着又将大石一举。 那姓聂的叫道：“尊驾若是喜欢，拿去便是，别损伤了宝物。” 胡斐心想此人倒是个情种，宁可剑入敌手也不愿剑毁，于是不再嬉笑，双手横捧宝剑，送到他身前，说道：“小弟无礼，多有得罪。” 那人大出意外，只道胡斐纵不毁剑，也必取去，要知如此利刃，当世罕见，有此一剑，平添了一倍功夫，武林中人有谁不爱？当下也伸双手接过，说道：“多谢，多谢！”惶恐之中，掩不住满脸的喜出望外之情。 胡斐知道夜长梦多，不能再耽，翻身上马，向群盗拱手道：“承蒙高抬贵手，兄弟这里谢过。”这句话却说得甚是诚恳。向徐铮和马春花叫道：“走吧！”徐铮夫妇惊魂未定，赶着镖车，纵马便走。胡斐和程灵素在后押队，没再向后多望一眼，以免又生事端，耳听得群盗低声议论，却不纵马来追。
四人一口气驰出十余里，始终不见有盗伙追来。 徐铮勒住马头，说道：“尊驾出手相救，在下甚是感激，却何以要冒充在下的师伯？”胡斐听他语气中甚有怪责之意，微笑道：“顺口说说而已，兄弟不要见怪。”徐铮道：“尊驾贴上这两撇胡子，逢人便叫兄弟，也未免把天下人都瞧小了。”胡斐一愕，没想到这个莽撞之人，竟会瞧得出来。程灵素低声道：“定是他妻子瞧出了破绽。” 胡斐略一点头，凝视马春花，心想她瞧出我胡子是假装，却不知是否认出了我是谁。 徐铮见了他这副神情，只道自己妻子生得美丽，胡斐途中紧紧跟随，早便不怀好意。他被盗党戏弄侮辱了个够，已存必死之意，心神失常，放眼但觉人人是敌，大声喝道：“阁下武艺高强，你要杀我，这便上吧！”说着一弯腰，就从趟子手的腰间拔出单刀，立马横刀，向着胡斐凛然傲视。 胡斐不明他的心意，欲待解释，忽觉背后马蹄声急，一骑快马狂奔而至。这匹马虽无袁紫衣那白马的神骏，却也是少有的名驹，片刻间便从镖队旁掠过。胡斐一瞥之下，认得马上乘客便是十六盗伙之一。 程灵素道：“咱们走吧，犯不着多管闲事，打抱不平。”岂知“多管闲事，打抱不平”这八个字，正触动徐铮的忌讳，他眼中如要喷出火来，便要纵马上前相拚。马春花急叫：“师哥，你又犯胡涂啦！”徐铮一呆。 程灵素一提马缰，跟着伸马鞭在胡斐的坐骑臀上抽了一鞭，两匹马向北急驰而去。胡斐回头叫道：“马姑娘，可记得商家堡么？” 马春花斗然间满脸通红，喃喃道：“商家堡，商家堡！我怎能不记得？”她心摇神驰，思念往事，但脑海中半分也没出现胡斐的影子。她是在想着另外一个人，那个华贵温雅的公子爷…… 胡程二人纵马奔出三四里，程灵素道：“大哥，打抱不平的又追上来啦。”胡斐也早已听到来路上马蹄杂沓，共有十余骑之多，说道：“当真动手，咱们寡不敌众，又不知这批人是什么来头。”程灵素道：“我瞧这些人未必便真是强盗。”胡斐点头道：“这中间古怪很多，一时可想不明白。” 这时一阵西风吹来，来路上传来一阵金刃相交之声。胡斐惊道：“给追上了。”程灵素道：“我瞧那些人的心意，那位马姑娘决计无碍，他们也不会伤那徐爷的性命，不过苦头是免不了要吃的了。”胡斐竭力思索，皱眉道：“我可真是不明白。” 忽听得马蹄声响，斜刺往西北角驰去，走的却不是大道，同时隐隐又传来一个女子的呼喝之声。 胡斐驰马上了道旁一座小丘，纵目遥望，只见两名盗伙各乘快马，手臂中都抱着一个孩子。马春花徒步追赶，头发散乱，似乎在喊：“还我孩子，还我孩子！”隔得远了，听不清楚。那两个盗党兵刃一举，忽地分向左右驰开。马春花一呆，两个孩子都是一般的心头之肉，不知该向哪一个追赶才是。 胡斐瞧得大怒，心想：“这些盗贼真是无恶不作。”叫道：“二妹，快来！”明知寡不敌众，若是插手，此事实极凶险，但眼见这种不平之事，总不能置之不理，于是纵马追了上去。但相隔既远，坐骑又没盗伙的马快，待追到马春花身边，两个大盗早已抱着孩子不知去向。只见马春花呆呆站着，却不哭泣。 胡斐叫道：“马姑娘别着急，我定当助你夺回孩子。”其实这时“马姑娘”早已成了“徐夫人”，但在胡斐心中，一直便是“马姑娘”，脱口而出，全没想到改口。 马春花听了此言，精神一振，便要跪将下去。胡斐忙道：“请勿多礼，徐兄呢？”马春花道：“我追赶孩子，他却给人缠住了。” 程灵素驰马奔到胡斐身边，说道：“北面又有敌人。”胡斐向北望去，果见尘土飞扬，又有八九骑奔来。胡斐道：“敌人骑的都是好马，咱们逃不远，得找个地方躲一躲。”游目四顾，一片空旷，并无藏身之处，只西北角上有一丛小树林。 程灵素马鞭一指，道：“去那边。”向马春花道：“上马呀！”马春花道：“多谢姑娘！”跃上马背，坐在她的身后。程灵素笑道：“你眼光真好，危急中还能瞧出我是女扮男装。”三人两骑，向树林奔去。 只奔出里许，盗党便已发觉，只听得声声唿哨，南边十余骑，北边八九骑，两头围了上来。 胡斐一马当先，抢入树林，见林后共有六七间小屋，心想再向前逃，非给追上不
At noon, we came to a big town.Hu Fei said: "Let's find a restaurant to eat, and then go buy two animals." Before the words were finished, I saw a middle-aged man in a satin robe with the appearance of a businessman coming forward, clasped his fists and said: "This is Mr. Hu Hu Fei has never seen this person before, and said politely: "Don't dare, it's Xiaoke. May I ask your surname, how can I know Xiaoke?" The man smiled and said: "The villain is waiting here for the order of the master." For a long time, please use some roughness here." He said respectfully and led the two of them to a restaurant. The shop assistant in the restaurant didn't wait for the man's order, and immediately served wine and food.It is rough, but it is a very rich and delicate banquet.Both Hu Fei and Cheng Lingsu were surprised.But seeing the businessman sitting next to the prime minister and not saying a word about who invited them, the two of them didn't ask, and ate some casually. After the dinner and dinner, the businessman said: "Please rest here, both of you." When I got out of the restaurant, I had already brought three big horses over.The three of them got on their horses, and the businessman led the way. They galloped out of the town for five or six miles, and arrived in front of a large villa.But seeing weeping willows surrounding the house, white walls and black doors, it is very grand. There were six or seven servants standing in front of the gate of the manor, and when they saw the businessman coming, they all stood with their hands down.The businessman invited Hu Fei and Cheng Lingsu to the hall for tea, and the table was full of fruit and snacks.Hu Fei thought to himself: "If I ask him why he received him like this, he will definitely not say it when he is not ready, and let him make a fuss. I will just adapt to the situation." people.The businessman just accompanied them respectfully, and didn't interrupt the conversation between the two of them. After eating the snacks, the businessman said: "Master Hu and this girl are exhausted from the journey, please take a bath and change clothes in the inner room." Hu Fei thought to himself: "Hearing from his tone, it seems that he doesn't know Miss Cheng's background. Yao Wang's disciple poisoned himself, just asking for trouble." Then he followed the servant into the inner hall.Another servant woman came to wait on Cheng Lingsu and went to the back building to take a bath. The two rested for a while, and went to the hall again, you looked at me, I looked at you, but the clothes and shoes on each other's bodies were completely new.Cheng Lingsu laughed in a low voice: "Brother Hu, are you celebrating the New Year? You are so neatly dressed." Hu Fei saw that her face was lightly covered with makeup and powder, which slightly increased her beauty, and said with a smile: "You are like a bride. "Cheng Lingsu blushed and turned his head away.Hu Fei secretly regretted her slip of the tongue, but when she peeked at her, there was no anger on her face, only a mischievous and shy look in her eyes. At this time, there was already plenty of wine and food in the hall. The businessman toasted three glasses of wine to Hu Fei, turned around and entered, and when he returned, he held a tray in his hand. There was a red cloth bundle on the tray. On the cover of his notebook, there are nine words "Respectfully presented to Uncle Hu Yinfei and Na".He held the book in both hands, presented it to Hu Fei, and said, "The villain is ordered by the master to present this small gift to Uncle Hu." Hu Fei didn't accept the book, and asked, "Who is your master? Why did you give me a small gift?" The businessman said: "I ordered you not to mention his name. Uncle Hu will naturally know in the future." Hu Fei was so surprised that he took the brocade book , Turned it over, and saw that the first page read: "415 acres of high-quality paddy fields and 70 cents". A few and so on. Hu Fei was amazed and thought: "What do I want these more than 400 acres of paddy fields for?" Turning to the second page, he saw: "There is one Zhuangzi, five entrances, twelve buildings and seventy-three bungalows." Below is also a detailed note of Zhuangzi's four places in the southeast, north and west, as well as the name of each house, gardens, halls, wing rooms, as well as stoves, firewood houses, stables, etc., all written clearly in small characters.Turning it down further, it is the name of the servants and servants in Zhuangzi, who have all the daily gold and silver, grain, livestock, cars, furniture, clothes, etc. Hu Fei flipped through it and was very confused. He handed the book to Cheng Lingsu and said, "Look." Cheng Lingsu read it again, but couldn't figure out what the intention was, and said with a smile: "Gong Xi Fa Cai, Gong Xi Fa Cai!" The businessman said: "I said that I was in a hurry and didn't prepare well. It's really not respectful." Hu Fei asked: "What is your surname?" The businessman said: "The villain's surname is Zhang. The land and real estate here will be temporarily managed by the villain for Uncle Hu. Uncle Hu sees that there is something wrong, so he only needs to order. The deeds are all here, please take care of Mr. Hu." He said and presented a lot of papers.Hu Fei said: "You put it away. As the saying goes: You don't get rewarded without merit. I may not be able to accept such a generous gift." The businessman said: "Uncle Hu is too modest. My boss only said that the courtesy is too thin, and I really feel sorry for him." .” Hu Fei has traveled all over the world since he was a child, and he has seen a lot of strange things, but he has never heard of such a sudden receipt of such a generous gift, and the person who gave the gift avoided seeing each other.Judging by the behavior of this surnamed Zhang, he definitely doesn't know martial arts, and there is no aura of a martial arts figure in his conversation. It seems that he is only following the orders of others, and he doesn't necessarily know the inside story. After dinner and dinner, Hu Fei and Cheng Lingsu went to the study to rest.But seeing the books on the four walls in the study, several rows of catalpas, and Chen Yaoqin, it is very elegant.A book boy brought tea and then retreated, leaving only Hu Cheng and two in the room. Cheng Lingsu smiled and said: "Mr. Hu, I didn't expect you to become a master here." Hu Fei couldn't help laughing when he thought about it, but then frowned and said: "I think the person who gave the gift must have malicious intentions, but I really can't guess this person." Who is it? What is the purpose of doing this?" Cheng Lingsu said: "Could it be Miao Renfeng?" Hu Fei shook his head and said: "Although this person has a deep hatred with me, I think he is upright, and he is really a A good man, don't do such sneaky things." Cheng Lingsu said: "If you help him defeat the enemy, he will give you a generous gift. First, he wants to thank you, and second, he hopes to resolve the grudge. I'm afraid it's kindness." Hu Fei Said: "How can the surname Hu look at the gold and silver fields and forget the great hatred of his parents? No, no! Miao Renfeng will not underestimate me like this." Cheng Lingsu stuck out his tongue and said: "That's true I underestimated you." The two discussed it for a long time, but they couldn't see any clues, so they decided to stay here overnight, at least to search for some clues.At night, Hu Fei slept peacefully in the big room in the back hall, but Cheng Lingsu's boudoir was located upstairs next to the garden.Hu Fei has never lived in such a magnificent house in his life, and it is even more incredible that this house belongs to him. He slept until the second watch, gently pushed the window and jumped out, ran to the roof, bent down and looked, and saw that the lights in the backyard to the west were still on, so he started to lighten his body and ran over.The eaves are hooked with feet, and there is an "upside-down bead curtain". Looking in from the crack of the window, I saw Didi, surnamed Zhang, doing his own calculations, and another old family member was by his side.The man surnamed Zhang wrote a few accounts, and then talked to the family, talking about trivial matters such as salary and rice. After listening for a long time, Hu Fei was clueless, and was about to turn around when he heard a soft sound on the east roof.He turned over and stood up straight, holding the handle of the knife, only to see that it was Cheng Lingsu who came.She made a gesture, and Hu Fei jumped over.Cheng Lingsu whispered: "I've looked at it before and after, and there's nothing strange about it. Did you see anything?" Hu Fei shook his head.The two went back to their rooms respectively, and they were on guard this night, thinking over and over again, but they didn't sleep soundly. When I got up the next morning, a boy servant had already brought bird's nest with ginseng soup, followed by noodle dumplings and snacks, but Hu Fei had another pot of champion red wine.Hu Fei thought to himself: "With a spiritual girl as a companion, it's not lonely to talk about it. Living here can be said to be carefree and happy." Suddenly, he changed his mind: "That bully surnamed Feng killed Zhong Ahsi's family. If I don't avenge this wrong, what face do I have to stand between heaven and earth?" Thinking of this, his blood boiled in his chest, and he said to Cheng Lingsu: "Let's leave now. Right?" Cheng Lingsu didn't ask him where he was going, and replied: "Okay, it's time to go." The two went back to the bedroom and changed into old clothes.Hu Fei said to the businessman surnamed Zhang: "Let's go!" After saying this, he walked away.The man surnamed Zhang was stunned, and said: "This...this...how can you walk so fast? Hu Da... Hu Da, the villain is going to prepare the travel expenses. Please wait for a while." Wait for him to go in and serve A large plate of gold and silver ingots came out, and Hu Cheng and his wife had already left.
The two of them took big strides and headed north. At noon, they arrived at a market. After inquiring, they found out that the place where they stayed last night was called Yitang Town.Hu Fei took out the silver and bought two horses, and they rode side by side, talking about yesterday's miracle. Cheng Lingsu said: "We eat and drink for nothing, live and sleep for nothing, and it doesn't hurt anything at all. In this way, the master doesn't seem to have any evil intentions." Hu Fei said: "I always feel that this matter is yin and yang, very strange. It's a bit evil." Cheng Lingsu said with a smile: "I hope that there will be more such evil things, and the yin and yang will be weird along the way. Hey, Mr. Hu, where are you going?" Hu Fei said: "I want Go to Beijing. You also go to have fun, okay?" Cheng Lingsu said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm just afraid it will be inconvenient." Hu Feiqi said: "What's the inconvenience?" Cheng Lingsu said with a smile: "Mr. Hu, go To visit the girl who gave the jade phoenix, do I have to bring a maid with me?" Hu Fei said seriously: "No, I'm going to hunt down an enemy. Although this man's martial arts is not very high, he has many eyes and ears, cunning and wisdom. I hope Miss Ling will help me." Zhong Ahsi's family, how they met in the temple to avoid the rain, how they escaped again, and so on. When Cheng Lingsu heard him talk about the encounter in the ancient temple and Fengtiannan Heiye Rabbit's passage, there were some inaccuracies in his words, and he said: "The girl who gave the jade phoenix is also in the ancient temple, isn't she?" Hu Fei I was taken aback, thinking that she is extremely smart, anyway, I didn't do anything wrong, so I don't need to hide it from her, so I simply talked about how I met Yuan Ziyi, how she won the position of head of the three sects, and how she rescued Feng Tiannan Waiting for love, I also said it from beginning to end. Cheng Lingsu asked: "This Miss Yuan is a beauty, isn't she?" Hu Fei was startled slightly, blushing, and said: "It's pretty." Cheng Lingsu said: "It's much prettier than my ugly girl, yes no?" Hu Fei didn't expect her to ask such a straight-forward question, so he couldn't help being quite embarrassed, and said: "Who said you are an ugly girl? Miss Yuan is a few years older than you, so she is naturally taller." Cheng Lingsu smiled and said: "I When I was eight years old, I used my mother's mirror to play with. My sister said: "It's ugly, don't take a picture! It's still ugly when you look at it." Humph! I ignored her, and guess what happened?" Hu Fei felt a chill in his heart, and thought to himself: "You shouldn't poison your sister to death." He said, "I don't know." Cheng Lingsu heard his voice trembling slightly, his face had a strange look, guessed his thoughts, and said: "Are you afraid that I will poison my sister to death? I was only eight years old at that time. Well, the next day, the mirror at home turned on It's gone." Hu Fei said: "That's strange." Cheng Lingsu said: "It's not surprising at all, I threw them all into the well." She paused and said, "But after I threw the mirror, I immediately threw it into the well." I understand. I was born an ugly girl, even if there is no mirror, she is still ugly. The water surface in the well is a round mirror, which can clearly reflect my appearance. At that time, I really wanted to jump Go to the well and die." When she said this, she suddenly raised her whip and lashed the horse's buttocks, and rushed forward. Hu Fei followed with his horse, and the two rode for more than ten miles at a stretch before Cheng Lingsu reined in the horse's head.Hu Fei saw that her eyes were red, and she was crying just now. He didn't dare to look at her more, thinking: "Although you are not as beautiful as Miss Yuan, you are by no means an ugly girl. Besides, a person's morality is the first, and intelligence is the first." Second, whether you are born with good looks or not, why should you be sad? You are smart in everything, why can’t you just ignore it?” Looking at her thin silhouette, she felt pity in her heart, and said, “I have something to ask for. , I don’t know if you are willing to agree, I don’t know if I can climb high?” Cheng Lingsu trembled, and said in a trembling voice: "You... what did you say?" Hu Fei looked from behind her, saw that her ears and half of her cheeks were all red, and said, "You and I have no parents or relatives. You sworn brothers and sisters, do you agree?" Cheng Lingsu's cheeks turned pale in an instant, and he laughed loudly: "Okay, what's wrong with that? I have such an elder brother, I really wish for it?" Hu Fei couldn't help feeling embarrassed when she heard the sarcasm in her tone, and said: "I am sincere." Cheng Lingsu said: "Am I lying?" Once bent, he knelt on the ground.Seeing that she was so straightforward, Hu Fei also knelt on the ground, bowed to the sky a few times, and kowtowed to each other. Cheng Lingsu said: "Everyone says that we have to kowtow eight times... one, two, three, four... seven, eight... Well, I'm a younger sister, so I kowtow two more." , and then stood up. Seeing her words and actions, Hu Fei suddenly became slightly mad, and he became a little unnatural, and said: "From now on, I will call you the second sister." Cheng Lingsu said: "Yes, you are the eldest brother. Why don't we Make an oath of alliance, what do you say that you share blessings and difficulties together?" Hu Fei said: "The value of friendship lies in the alliance of the heart, it is the same whether you say it or not." Cheng Lingsu said: "Ah, so it is." Said, he jumped on the horseback, This day until dusk, I never spoke to Hu Fei again.
The two of them arrived in Anlu in the evening, and as soon as they galloped into the entrance of the market, a waiter came up to hold the horse's head and said, "This is Uncle Hu, right? Please come to the shop to rest your horse." Hu Feiqi said, "Why do you Do you know?" The waiter in the shop said with a smile: "I have been waiting here for a long time." So he led the way and let the two of them enter an inn with a spacious building.But only one room was left in the upper house, so another room was opened, and there was no need to order tea, wine and rice, and the price of the water would be sent up.Hu Fei asked the waiter in the shop who told him to wait like this.The waiter in the shop smiled and said, "Uncle Hu in Yitang Town, who doesn't know?" When he checked out the next morning, the shopkeeper bowed again and again, saying that he had already paid, and he was only willing to accept the few coins that Hu Fei gave to the shop partner as a reward. . It was like this for several days.Although Hu Fei and Cheng Lingsu are very wise and scheming people, but limited by their age and experience, they can't see through this quack trick. After leaving on the fourth day, Cheng Lingsu said: "Brother, I have been paying attention for the past few days. If there is no one following us, then someone must have told you about your appearance in the future and ordered someone to wait for you. Let's disguise yourself, and then come from the side Take a look, maybe you can find out the truth." Hu Fei said happily: "This plan is great." The two bought two sets of clothes, shoes and hats in the market, went to the outskirts, and changed their clothes in a deserted forest.Cheng Lingsu cut his hair into a false beard and stuck it on Hu Fei's lips, pretending him to be a middle-aged man in his forties, but he himself put on a long gown and a small cap, turning into a thin and small young man.The two looked at each other and laughed at each other.When they arrived at the front market, the two even exchanged their mounts for donkeys.Hu Fei wrapped the single sword in his baggage, bought a dry pipe, took a few puffs, and puffed out the smoke. With this look, no matter how good his eyesight is, no one else would recognize him. When I arrived in Guangshui that evening, I saw two store associates standing beside the avenue, stretching their necks and looking around. Hu Fei knew that they were waiting for him, so he couldn't help laughing secretly, and went to the store. Seeing that the two looked shabby, the shopkeeper was lazy to greet Complacently, they were given two side courtyards.The two shop assistants waited until it was dark before returning to the shop listlessly.Hu Fei called a person in, chatted nonsense with him, and wanted to hear some news from him.Just talking a few gossips, suddenly there was a sound of horseshoes on the road, and the sound was more than one time.The shop assistant said happily, "Uncle Hu is here." He rushed out of the shop. Hu Fei thought in his heart: "Uncle Hu is here early, I told you what happened, you don't know yet." He went to the lobby to watch the excitement.Only the noise of people was heard, and the innkeeper said loudly: "It's not Uncle Hu, it's the high-ranking official of the Escort Bureau." Then a man walked in, holding a dart flag in his hand, and stuck it in the bamboo tube outside the inn.
When Hu Fei looked at the dart flag, he was stunned. He saw that the dart flag had a yellow background and black lines, embroidered with a horse with wings on its back. He had seen this dart flag before in the merchant fort, and recognized it as the Pegasus Escort Bureau. He thought that the owner of the bodyguard bureau, Baisheng Shenquan Ma Xingkong, had already been burned to death in Shangshangbao, and he didn't know who would be the head of the bodyguard right now.Seeing that the dart flag is broken and faded, it hasn't been changed for many years, and the executioner on that trip is also old and decrepit, it seems that the current situation of Pegasus Escort Bureau is not so prosperous. He came in with the head of the escort, but he was a man of high spirits, but seeing the countless small scars on his face, Hu Fei recognized him as Ma Xingkong's disciple Xu Zheng.Behind him is a young woman in a strong dress, holding a boy in each hand, it is Ma Chunhua, Ma Xingkong's daughter. Hu Fei had been separated from her for several years. At this time, although she was still beautiful, she couldn't hide the weathered and haggard face.The two boys are only about four years old, but they are snow-white and cute, especially the two have exactly the same appearance, obviously they are a pair of twin brothers.Only a boy said: "Mom, I'm hungry, I want some noodles." Ma Chunhua lowered his head and said, "Okay, let's eat together after Dad washes his face." Hu Fei thought to himself: "It turns out that his brothers and sisters are married and have two children." That year he was captured by the old lady Shang in Shangshangbao, and was whipped by Shang Baozhen. Things are always on my mind.We met in a foreign land today, if he didn't want to be recognized by others, he would have gone up to recognize Daogu. The owner of the inn never dared to offend the Escort Bureau, although seeing that the Pegasus Escort Bureau was only a single escort vehicle, and everyone's clothes were old and worn, it was expected that there was not much money to be made, but the shopkeeper still came forward to receive him hospitablely. When Xu Zheng heard that there was no upper room, he frowned, and was about to speak, when the trainer turned his hand from the inside and said, "Aren't the two upper rooms facing south vacant? Why are they gone?" The innkeeper smiled and said: "Forgive me, the high official. The two rooms were booked the day before yesterday, and the money has been paid, and it is agreed to be used tonight." Wronged, after hearing this, I stretched out my hand and slapped hard on the ledger, and I was about to explode.Ma Chunhua hurriedly tugged on his sleeves, and said, "Forget it, just stay here for a night, that's all." Xu Zheng really listened to his wife, gave the shopkeeper a hard look, and walked into the small room facing west.Ma Chunhua took the two children and said in a low voice: "The fee for this single escort is so meager, if you don't deal with it, you will still lose money. If you don't live in a house, it would be good to save some money." Xu Zheng said: "That's not bad. But I just look at these low-spirited guys and get angry." It turned out that after Ma Xingkong's death, Xu Zhenghe and Chunhua got married soon, and they took over the Pegasus Escort.Xu Zheng's martial arts prestige is certainly not as good as his master's, but he was born with a straightforward mind, and he couldn't make good use of his friends in the world. In three or four years, he ran into obstacles several times, but each time he was defeated by Ma Chunhua's various methods. Only then did I make up for it and sew it up.But in this way, the Pegasus Escort's business plummeted, and the big business would never come to the door.This time, a salt merchant wanted to send a sum of money to Baoding Mansion in Zhili, Beizhili. The amount was only 9,000 taels.Xu Zheng and his wife had always walked darts together, Ma Chunhua felt that there were no reliable relatives at home, and she was worried about the child, so she took them with her out, thinking that there would be no risk on the way here for a mere nine thousand taels of silver.
Hu Fei glanced at the escort car, walked to Cheng Lingsu's room, and said, "Second sister, this escort couple is my old acquaintance." So he briefly talked about how he met them in the merchant fort. Cheng Lingsu said: "Do you recognize them?" Hu Fei said: "When Ming'er becomes enlightened and goes to a remote and uninhabited place, then we will come forward to recognize each other." Cheng Lingsu said with a smile: "A remote and uninhabited place? Ah, That's amazing! They don't think you mustache is a strong person who robs darts." Hu Fei smiled and said: "This dart is not worth Hu Dazhai's initiative. Master Cheng Erzhai, what do you think?" Cheng Lingsu laughed. : "Look at that escort who has no money on him, he is very poor. You and my brothers are also good at robbers, so you can't help but go forward and give him a few ingots of gold." Hu Fei laughed.He really had the intention of donating money, but he just wanted to figure out a proper way, and he had to be respectful when donating money. After the two had dinner, Hu Fei went back to his room and went to bed. He slept until midnight, when he suddenly heard a light click on the roof.Although he was asleep, he was startled immediately, turned over and sat up, stepped down the kang, and heard that there were two people in the room.The two clapped their hands lightly and jumped down from the roof.Hu Fei stood at the window and thought to himself: "Where are these two people coming from, they are so bold and act like no one else?" Stretching out his fingers to poke through the window paper, he looked out, and saw that both of them were wearing long gowns, without weapons in their hands, and pushed them away. Facing the door of the upper room facing south, he walked in, followed the flash of the fire, and lit the lamp. Hu Fei thought to himself: "It turns out that these two people know the owner of the shop, and they are not bad people." Back on the kang, he suddenly heard the sound of slippers being tapped and tapped, and the waiter walked to the door of the upper room and shouted: "Who is it? Why? In the middle of the night, you didn't go through the door, just jumped down like this?" He shouted, walked into the upper room, and just stepped in, he yelled "Ah yo", followed by a bang, and " My mother, you've killed me!" I cried, and it turned out that someone threw me out, and I fell solidly into the yard. With such a noise, everyone in the store woke up.One of the two long-clothed guests stood at the door of the upper room and said loudly: "We are ordered by the master of the Jigong Mountain King to step on the plate and rob the dart money tonight. We are looking for the head of the Pegasus Escort Bureau. Wait, don't do your own business, go back to your room and sleep peacefully, so as not to accidentally injure someone's life." Xu Zheng and Ma Chunhua woke up a long time ago, they couldn't help being startled and angry when they heard him screaming like this, thinking that such a powerful thief like him, he must not bully him into the inn, this Guangshui is not a small place, such a Lawless, but I've never seen it before.Xu Zheng said in a loud voice: "The one surnamed Xu is here, and the two good friends will keep their children." The man laughed and said, "You give nine thousand taels of silver and a dart flag to the uncle with both hands, that's all. , what do you want to ask the uncle? Let's see you later." As they said, they clapped their hands twice, and the two flew into the room. Xu Zheng raised his right hand, and two steel darts shot upwards.The man in the back copied it back, caught it with the other hand, and then threw it downward. With a bang, sparks splashed in all directions, and they all landed one foot in front of Xu Zheng. Both darts were nailed into the bluestone slabs in the courtyard. , Xu Zheng absolutely couldn't do it with such strength.I only heard the two laughing on the house, followed the sound of horseshoes, and headed north. The shopkeepers and residents waited for the two thugs to go away, and now there was a lot of discussion, some said to report to the police quickly, and some persuaded Xu Zheng to take a detour. Xu Zheng kept silent, pulled out two steel darts, and returned to the room.The husband and wife discussed in low voices, seeing that these two people's martial arts are quite extraordinary, they must be famous figures in the martial arts world, how could they take a fancy to this little dart?Although he knew that the future was not good, but a dart went out, the rule was that there was no retreat, and he must not turn back, otherwise the escort agency would be considered as smashing the signboard.Xu Zheng said angrily: "Friends in the underworld are becoming more and more bullying. Will we still be able to eat like this in the future? I will risk my life if I don't want it, so I have to fuck them. These two children... ..." Ma Chunhua said: "We have no grievances or enmities with those in the underworld. At most, it's just a matter of money, and it doesn't kill anyone. It doesn't matter if you take the children with you." These two young children should be allowed to accompany their parents to take risks in the world. Hu Fei and Cheng Lingsu saw everything clearly through the window, and they were also secretly surprised. They felt that there were many unexplainable things along the way. Encountered the strange thing of Pegasus Escort.
In the early morning of the next day, the escort cars of the Pegasus Escort Bureau went together, and Hu Fei and Cheng Lingsu followed closely behind.Xu Zheng saw that the two of them were following closely, and the more he looked at the road, the more wrong it became. He guessed that the two of them must be thieves, and they looked back and glared at each other from time to time.Hu Cheng and the two pretended not to see each other. At noon, Hu Cheng and the Pegasus Escort also ate beef noodle cakes with Pegasus Escort.In the evening, about forty miles away from Wushengguan, only the sound of horseshoes was heard, and two horses galloped towards each other.Immediately, the passengers, wearing gray cloth robes, passed by the escort car and went straight to the side of Hu Cheng and the two of them. Then they drove close together, laughing and hearing the voices were the two thugs from last night. Hu Fei said: "Wait until they catch up from behind, and within a few miles, they will start." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes in front, and two more horses passed by. Vigorous, obviously a figure in the world.Hu Fei said: "Strange, strange!" After less than a mile of travel, two more horses rushed towards him, followed by two more horses. Seeing this powerful faction, Xu Zheng had already lost his mind, instead of being angry, he smiled, and said, "Junior Sister, Master once said, the first-class big village in the green forest, the first-class big dart that mobilizes the crowd to rob, then the first-class big dart is the only one." Six masters were sent to scout the plate, and today we even sent eight masters, followed by two lingering ghosts. I'm afraid our bodyguards here are not nine thousand taels of silver, but nine million, nine thousand taels. Ten thousand taels!" Ma Chunhua couldn't figure out why the enemy came to deal with this insignificant dart with such great fanfare, but the more he didn't understand, the more worried he became, and he said to Xu Zheng and Qu Zishou: "The situation is not right later, let's bring It is important for the child to escape for his life. The nine thousand taels of silver is not a big amount, and he can still afford it." Xu Zheng said boldly, "Master's first name, is it just given to us, a disciple who is not good enough?" Chunhua said sadly: "It's for the sake of the children. From now on, my husband and I will plow the fields and work in agriculture, and eat a hard meal, so we won't do such desperate activities with knives." Speaking of this, he suddenly heard the sound of hooves galloping behind him, and when he looked back, the dust was flying, and the eight horses rushed up from behind.With a long cry, a loud arrow flew over his head, followed by eight horses galloping towards him. Hu Fei said: "Look at the momentum, these people are probably coming for us." Cheng Lingsu nodded and said: "The field is back to the farmer!" Hu Fei said: "Our transformation will not work after all, but we were recognized." At this time, the eight horses in the front and the eight horses in the back all reined in and did not move, and they had sandwiched the escort and Hu Cheng in the middle. Xu Zheng got off his horse, flashed his single saber, clasped his fists and said, "I'm Xu..." After only three words, an old man among the eight horses in front suddenly jumped off his horse, leaped forward, holding a strange-shaped weapon in his hand, and said a word Without saying anything, he threw it at Xu Zheng's face. Hu Fei and Cheng Lingsu reined in their horses, and it was strange to see the weapon in the old man's hand. There was a horizontal bar in front, curved like a snake, and behind the horizontal bar was a T-shaped handshake. The two ends of the horizontal bar were sharp, like a deformed crane. The appearance of a hoe.Hu Fei didn't know this thing, and asked Cheng Lingsu, "What is that?" Before Cheng Lingsu could answer, a bandit behind him smiled and said, "Old boy, I'll teach you to be a good boy. This is called Thunderbolt." Cheng Lingsu said, "Thunderbolt doesn't work with Lightning Cone, and martial arts are normal." The robber froze for a moment, stopped making a sound, looked sideways at Cheng Lingsu, thinking that this skinny boy also knew about lightning cones.It turned out that the old man was his senior brother, and the bandit himself used the lightning awl.The masters of the two of them use the lightning awl with the right hand and the thunder block with the left hand, one attack and one defense, the changes are extremely wonderful.But these two weapons are one long and the other short, and when used with both hands, they complement each other. Although they are very powerful, they are also very difficult. His two brothers each have the skills of their master's hand, and they still can't learn to use two weapons at the same time. .The two of them have been outside the Great Wall since they were young, and they have not been in the Central Plains for a long time, and his lightning awl was hidden in his sleeve, and he did not take it out.His master, Master Wang Wu'an, who knows Cheng Lingsu, has a wide range of knowledge and knowledge, and usually tells this favorite little disciple about various martial arts. Therefore, although she has never seen Lei Zhenbu, she knows him when she hears his name. There is a lightning cone. But seeing the old man unleash his weapon, it was indeed thunderous.Although Xu Zheng's single-handed kung fu was not weak, he was gradually unable to use it because he was blocked by the thunder. I only heard the 15 thieves before and after you say something, and I say something, ridiculing: "What Pegasus Escort Agency? Back then, Ma Lao Escort was called the word "Pegasus" when he was in the darts, and it was in the hands of Xu. It's time to change the name to the Dog Climbing Escort!" "This kid learned how to use two hands and three legs. He doesn't hold a baby at home, but comes outside to shame the world." "Hey, Xu, quickly kneel down and kowtow three times, our elder brother will forgive you Your dog's life." "The escort is so stupid, even 9,000 taels of silver are guaranteed, why not buy a piece of tofu and kill yourself!" This pussy boy is really sorry for Master." "I see his wife is ten times stronger than him, it's really a flower stuck in cow dung! It makes people look angry." After listening to everyone's words, Hu Fei thought that these thieves knew Xu Zheng's details very well. Not only did they know his background as a teacher, but they also knew how much money he had insured in total. She was mean, but she did not offend Ma Chunhua and her deceased father at all, and even seemed quite respectful.胡斐虽然不识雷震挡，但那老者功力不弱，出手既狠且准，却是一眼便知，不由得暗自奇怪：“这老头儿虽不能说是江湖上的第一流好手，但如此武功，必是个颇有身分的成名人物。瞧各人的作为，决非冲着这区区九千两银子而来。但若是田归农派来跟我为难，却又何必费这么大的劲儿去对付徐铮？” 马春花在旁瞧得焦急万分，她早知丈夫不是人家对手，然而自己上前相助，只不过多引一个敌人下场，于事丝毫无补，两个儿子无人照料，却势必落入盗众手中。眼睁睁的瞧着丈夫越来越是不济，突见那老者将蛇形兵器往前疾送，圈转回拉，徐铮单刀脱手，飞上半天，她“啊”的一声叫了出来。 那老者左足横扫，徐铮急跃避过。那单刀从半空落将下来，盗众中一人举起长剑，往上一撩，一柄钢刀登时断为两截。那盗伙身手好快，长剑跟着一劈一削，又将尚未落地的两截断刀斩成四截。他手中所持的固是极锋利的宝剑，而出手之迅捷，更是使人目为之眩。群盗齐声喝彩。 瞧这情势，哪里是拦路劫镖，实是对徐铮存心戏弄！单是这手持长剑的大盗一人，打败徐铮夫妇便已绰绰有余，何况同伙共有一十六人，看来个个都是好手，个个笑傲自若，便如十六头灵猫围住了一只小鼠，要戏耍个够，才分而吞噬。 徐铮红了双眼，双臂挥舞，招招都是拚命的拳式，但那老者雷震挡的铁柄长逾四尺，徐铮如何欺得近身去？数招之间，只听得嗤的一声响，雷震挡的尖端划破了徐铮裤脚，大腿上鲜血长流，接着又是一响，徐铮左臀中挡。那老者抬起一腿，将他踢翻在地，一脚踏住，冷笑道：“我也不要你性命，只要废了你的一对招子，罚你不生眼睛，太也胡涂。”徐铮又是害怕，又是愤怒，胸口气为之塞，说不出话来。 马春花叫道：“众位朋友，你们要镖银，拿去便是。我们跟各位往日无冤，近日无仇，何必赶尽杀绝？”那使剑的大盗笑道：“马姑娘，你是好人，不用多管闲事。” 马春花道：“什么多管闲事？他是我丈夫啊。”使雷震挡的老者道：“我们就是瞧着他太也不配，委曲了才貌双全的马姑娘，这才千里迢迢的赶来。这个抱不平非打不可！” 胡斐和程灵素越听越是奇怪，均想：“这批大盗居然来管人家夫妻的家务事，还说什么打抱不平，当真好笑。”两人对望一眼，目光中均含笑意。 便在此时，那老者举起雷震挡，挡尖对准徐铮右眼，戳了下去。马春花大叫一声，抢上相救，呼的一响，马上一个盗伙手中花枪从空刺下，将她拦住。两个小孩齐叫：“爸爸！”向徐铮身边奔去。
突然间一个灰影一晃，那老者手腕上一麻，急忙翻挡迎敌，手里蓦然间轻了，原来手中兵刃竟已不知去向，惊怒中抬起头来，只见那灰影跃上马背，自己的独门兵刃雷震挡却已给他拿在手中舞弄，白光闪闪，转成一个圆圈。 如此倏来倏去，一瞬之间下马上马，空手夺了他雷震挡的，正是胡斐！ 众盗相顾骇然，顷刻间寂静无声，竟无一人说话，人人均为眼前之事惊得呆了。过了半晌，各人才纷纷呼喝，举刀挺杖，奔向胡斐。 胡斐大叫道：“是线上的合字儿吗？风紧，扯呼，老窑里来了花门的，三刀兔儿爷换着走，咱们胡子上开洞，财神菩萨上山！”群盗又是一怔，听他说的黑话不像黑话，不知瞎扯些什么。 那雷震挡被夺的老者怒道：“朋友，你是哪一路的，来搅这淌浑水干么？” 胡斐道：“兄弟专做没本钱买卖，好容易跟上了飞马镖局的九千两银子，没想到半路里杀出来十六个程咬金。各位要分一份，这不叫人心疼么？”那老者冷笑道：“哼，朋友别装蒜啦，趁早留下个万儿来是正经。” 徐铮于千钧一发之际逃得了性命，搂住了两个儿子。马春花站在他的身旁，睁着一双大眼望住胡斐，一时之间还不明白眼前到底发生了何事。她只道胡斐和程灵素也必都是盗伙一路，那知他却和那老者争了起来。 只见胡斐伸手一抹上唇的小胡子，咬着烟袋，说道：“好，我跟你实说了罢。神拳无敌马行空是我师弟，师侄的事儿，老人家不能不管。” 胡斐此语一出，马春花吃了一惊，心想：“哪里出来了这样一个师伯？我从没听爹爹说过，而且这人年纪比爹爹轻得多，哪能是师伯？” 程灵素在一旁见他装腔作势，忍不住要笑出声来，但见他大敌当前，身在重围，仍能漫不在意的言笑自若，却也不禁佩服他的胆色。 那老者将信将疑，哼的一声，说道：“尊驾是马老镖头的师兄？年岁不像啊，我们也没听说马老镖头有什么师兄。”胡斐道：“我门中只管入门先后，不管年纪大小。马行空是什么大人物了，还用得着冒充他师兄么？” 先入师门为尊的规矩，武林中许多门派原都是有的。那老者向马春花望了一眼，察看她的脸色，转头又问胡斐道：“没请教尊驾的万儿。”胡斐抬头向天，说道：“我师弟叫神拳无敌马行空，区区在下便叫歪拳有敌牛耕田。”群盗一听，尽皆大笑。 这一句话明显是欺人的假话，那老者只因他空手夺了自己的兵刃，才跟他对答了这一阵子话，否则早就出手了。他性子本便躁急，听到“牛耕田”这三字，再也忍耐不住，虎吼一声，便向胡斐扑来。 胡斐勒马一闪，雷震挡一晃，那老者手中倏地多了一物，举手一看，却不是雷震挡是什么？物归原主，他本该喜欢，然而这兵刃并非自己夺回，却是对方塞入自己手中，瞧也没瞧清，莫名其妙的便得回了兵刃。 众盗齐声喝彩，叫道：“褚大哥好本事！”都道是他以空手入白刃的功夫抢回。这姓褚的老者却自知满不是那回事，当真是哑子吃黄连，说不出的苦。他微微一怔，说道：“尊驾插手管这档子事，到底为了什么？” 胡斐道：“老兄倒请先说说，我这两个师侄好好一对夫妻，何以要各位来打抱不平？”那老者说道：“多管闲事，于尊驾无益。我好言相劝，还是各行各路罢！”众盗均感诧异：“褚大哥平日多么霹雳火爆的性儿，今日居然这般沉得住气。” 胡斐笑道：“你这话再对也没有了，多管闲事无益。咱们大伙儿各行各路。请啊，请啊！”那老者退后三步，喝道：“你既不听良言，在下迫得要领教高招。”说着雷震挡一举，护住了胸口。 胡斐道：“单打独斗，有什么味道？可是人太多了，乱糟糟的也不大方便。这样吧，我牛耕田一人，斗斗你们三位。”说着提旱烟管向那使长剑的一指，又向那老者的师弟一指。 那使剑的相貌英挺，神情傲慢，仰天笑道：“好狂妄的老小子！”那姓褚的老者却早知胡斐决非易与之辈，一对一的跟他动手，也真没把握，他既自愿向三人挑战，正是求之不得，说道：“聂贤弟，上官师弟，他是自取其死，怨不得旁人，咱三个便一齐陪他玩玩。” 那姓聂的兀自不愿，说道：“谅这老小子怎是褚大哥的对手？要不，你师兄弟一齐出马，让大伙儿瞻仰瞻仰塞外'雷电交作'的绝技！”群盗轰然叫好。
胡斐摇头道：“年纪轻轻，便这般胆小，见不得大阵仗，可惜啊可惜。” 那姓聂的长眉一挑，跃下马来，低声道：“褚大哥请让一步，小弟独自来教训教训这狂徒。”胡斐道：“你要教训我歪拳有敌牛耕田，那也成。可是咱哥儿两话说在先，倘若我牛耕田输了，你要宰要杀，任凭处置。不过要是小兄弟你有一个失闪，那便如何？”那姓聂的冷笑道：“那是你痴心妄想。”胡斐笑道：“说不定老天爷保佑，小兄弟你竟有个三长两短，七荤八素，那便如何？”那姓聂的喝道：“谁跟你胡说八道？若我输了，也任凭你老小子处置便是。” 胡斐道：“任凭我老小子处置，那可不敢当，只是请各位宽宏大量，别再来管我师侄小夫妻俩的家务，这个抱不平，咱们就别打了吧！”那姓聂的好不耐烦，长剑一摆，闪起一道寒光，喝道：“便是这样！” 胡斐目光横扫众盗，说道：“这位聂家小兄弟的话，作不作准？倘若他输了，你们各位大爷还打不打抱不平？” 程灵素听到这里，再也忍耐不住，终于嗤的一声，笑了出来，心想他自己小小年纪，居然口口声声叫人家“小兄弟”，别人为了“鲜花插在牛粪上”，因而兴师动众的来打抱不平，此事已十分好笑，而他横加插手，又不许人家打抱不平，更是匪夷所思。 盗众素知那姓聂的剑术精奇，手中那口宝剑更是削铁如泥的利刃，出手斗这乡下土老儿小胡子，定是有胜无败。众人此行原本嘻嘻哈哈，当作一件极有趣的玩闹，途中多生事端，正是求之不得，于是纷纷说道：“你小胡子若是赢了一招半式，咱们大伙儿拍屁股便走，这个抱不平是准定不打的了！”胡斐道：“诸位说的是人话，就是这么办，这抱不平打不打得成，得瞧我小胡子的玩艺儿行不行。看招！”猛地举起旱烟管，往自己衣领中一插，跃下马来，一个踉跄，险些摔倒。 众人听他一声喝：“看招！”又见他举起烟管，都道他要以烟管当作兵器，那知他竟将烟管插在衣领之中，又见他下马的身法如此笨拙狼狈，旁观的十五个大盗之中，倒有十二三人笑了出来。 那姓聂的喝道：“你用什么兵刃，亮出来吧！”胡斐道：“黄牛耕田，得用犁耙！褚大寨主，你手里这件家伙倒像个犁耙，借来使使！”说着伸手出去，向那姓褚的老者借那雷震挡。 那老者见了他也真有些忌惮，倒退两步，怒道：“不借！谅你也不会使！”胡斐右手手掌朝天，始终摆着个乞讨的姿势，又道：“借一借何妨？”突然手臂一长一搭，那老者举挡欲架，不知怎的，手中忽空，那雷震挡竟又已到了胡斐手中。 那老者一惊非小，倒窜出一丈开外，脸上肌肉抽搐，如见鬼魅。 要知胡斐这路空手夺人兵刃的功夫，乃是他远祖飞天狐狸潜心钻研出来的绝技。当年飞天狐狸辅佐闯王李自成起兵打天下，凭着这手本领，不知夺过多少英雄好汉手中的兵器，当真是来无影，去无踪，神出鬼没，诡秘无比，“飞天狐狸”那四字外号，一半也是由此而来。 那姓聂壮汉见胡斐手中有了兵器，提剑便往他后心刺来。胡斐斜身闪开，回了一挡，跟着自左侧抢上，雷震挡回掠横刺。 姓褚的老者只瞧得张大了口，合不拢来，原来胡斐所使的招数，竟是他师父亲授的“六十四路轰天雷震挡法”，一模一样，全无二致。他那姓上官的师弟更是诧异，明明听得胡斐连雷震挡的名字也不识，使出来的挡法，却和师哥全然相同。他二人那想得到胡斐武功根底既好，人又聪明无比，瞧了那姓褚老者与徐铮打斗，早将招数记在心中。何况他所使招数虽然形似，其中用劲和变化的诸般法门，却绝不相干。 那姓聂的这时再也不敢轻慢，剑走轻灵，身手甚是便捷。胡斐所用兵刃全不顺手，兼之有意眩人耳目，招招依着那姓褚老者的武功法门而使，更加多了一层拘束，但见敌人长剑施展开来，寒光闪闪，剑法实非凡俗。他一面招架，心下寻思：“这十六人看来都是硬手，倘若一拥而上，我和二妹纵能脱身，徐铮一家四口一定糟糕，只有打败了这人，挤兑得他们不能动手，方是上策。”突见对手长剑一沉，知道不妙，待想如何变招，当的一声，雷震挡的一端已被利剑削去。 盗众眼见胡斐举止邪门，本来心中均自嘀咕，忽见那姓聂的得利，齐声欢呼。姓聂的精神一振，步步进逼。胡斐从褚姓老者那里学得的几招挡法，堪堪已经用完，心想再打下去马脚便露，眼见雷震挡被削去一端，心念一动，回挡斜砸，敌人长剑圈转，当的一声响，另一端也削去了。 胡斐叫道：“好，你这般不给褚大爷面子，毁了他成名的兵刃，未免太也不够朋友！” 姓聂的一怔，心想这话倒也有理。突然当的又是一响，胡斐竟将半截挡柄砸到他剑锋上去，手中只余下尺来长的一小截，又听他叫道：“会使雷震挡，不使闪电锥，武功也是稀松平常。”说着将一小截挡柄递出，便如破甲锥般使了出来。 姓上官的大盗先听他说闪电锥，不由得一惊，但瞧了他几路锥法，横戳直刺，全不是那一回事，这才放心，大声笑道：“这算那一门子的闪电锥？”胡斐道：“你学的不对，我的才对。”说着连刺急戳。其实他除单刀之外，什么兵器都不会使，这闪电锥只是装模作样，所厉害者全在一只左手，近身而搏，左手勾打锁拿，当真是“一寸短，一寸险”。 那姓聂的手中虽有利剑，竟是阻挡不住，被他攻得连连倒退，猛地里“啊”的一声大叫，两人同时向后跃开。只见胡斐身前晶光闪耀，那口宝剑已到了他的手里。 胡斐左膝一跪，从大道旁抓起一块二十来斤的大石，右手持剑，剑尖抵地，剑身横斜，左手高举大石，笑道：“这口宝剑锋利得紧，我来砸它几下，瞧是砸得断，砸不断？”说着作势便要将大石往剑身上砸去。 纵是天下最锋利的利剑，用大石砸在它平板的剑身上，也非一砸即断不可。那姓聂的对这口宝剑爱如性命，见了这般惨状，登时吓得脸色苍白，叫道：“在下认输便是。” 胡斐道：“我瞧这口好剑，未必一砸便断。”说着又将大石一举。 那姓聂的叫道：“尊驾若是喜欢，拿去便是，别损伤了宝物。” 胡斐心想此人倒是个情种，宁可剑入敌手也不愿剑毁，于是不再嬉笑，双手横捧宝剑，送到他身前，说道：“小弟无礼，多有得罪。” 那人大出意外，只道胡斐纵不毁剑，也必取去，要知如此利刃，当世罕见，有此一剑，平添了一倍功夫，武林中人有谁不爱？当下也伸双手接过，说道：“多谢，多谢！”惶恐之中，掩不住满脸的喜出望外之情。 胡斐知道夜长梦多，不能再耽，翻身上马，向群盗拱手道：“承蒙高抬贵手，兄弟这里谢过。”这句话却说得甚是诚恳。向徐铮和马春花叫道：“走吧！”徐铮夫妇惊魂未定，赶着镖车，纵马便走。胡斐和程灵素在后押队，没再向后多望一眼，以免又生事端，耳听得群盗低声议论，却不纵马来追。
四人一口气驰出十余里，始终不见有盗伙追来。 徐铮勒住马头，说道：“尊驾出手相救，在下甚是感激，却何以要冒充在下的师伯？”胡斐听他语气中甚有怪责之意，微笑道：“顺口说说而已，兄弟不要见怪。”徐铮道：“尊驾贴上这两撇胡子，逢人便叫兄弟，也未免把天下人都瞧小了。”胡斐一愕，没想到这个莽撞之人，竟会瞧得出来。程灵素低声道：“定是他妻子瞧出了破绽。” 胡斐略一点头，凝视马春花，心想她瞧出我胡子是假装，却不知是否认出了我是谁。 徐铮见了他这副神情，只道自己妻子生得美丽，胡斐途中紧紧跟随，早便不怀好意。他被盗党戏弄侮辱了个够，已存必死之意，心神失常，放眼但觉人人是敌，大声喝道：“阁下武艺高强，你要杀我，这便上吧！”说着一弯腰，就从趟子手的腰间拔出单刀，立马横刀，向着胡斐凛然傲视。 胡斐不明他的心意，欲待解释，忽觉背后马蹄声急，一骑快马狂奔而至。这匹马虽无袁紫衣那白马的神骏，却也是少有的名驹，片刻间便从镖队旁掠过。胡斐一瞥之下，认得马上乘客便是十六盗伙之一。 程灵素道：“咱们走吧，犯不着多管闲事，打抱不平。”岂知“多管闲事，打抱不平”这八个字，正触动徐铮的忌讳，他眼中如要喷出火来，便要纵马上前相拚。马春花急叫：“师哥，你又犯胡涂啦！”徐铮一呆。 程灵素一提马缰，跟着伸马鞭在胡斐的坐骑臀上抽了一鞭，两匹马向北急驰而去。胡斐回头叫道：“马姑娘，可记得商家堡么？” 马春花斗然间满脸通红，喃喃道：“商家堡，商家堡！我怎能不记得？”她心摇神驰，思念往事，但脑海中半分也没出现胡斐的影子。她是在想着另外一个人，那个华贵温雅的公子爷…… 胡程二人纵马奔出三四里，程灵素道：“大哥，打抱不平的又追上来啦。”胡斐也早已听到来路上马蹄杂沓，共有十余骑之多，说道：“当真动手，咱们寡不敌众，又不知这批人是什么来头。”程灵素道：“我瞧这些人未必便真是强盗。”胡斐点头道：“这中间古怪很多，一时可想不明白。” 这时一阵西风吹来，来路上传来一阵金刃相交之声。胡斐惊道：“给追上了。”程灵素道：“我瞧那些人的心意，那位马姑娘决计无碍，他们也不会伤那徐爷的性命，不过苦头是免不了要吃的了。”胡斐竭力思索，皱眉道：“我可真是不明白。” 忽听得马蹄声响，斜刺往西北角驰去，走的却不是大道，同时隐隐又传来一个女子的呼喝之声。 胡斐驰马上了道旁一座小丘，纵目遥望，只见两名盗伙各乘快马，手臂中都抱着一个孩子。马春花徒步追赶，头发散乱，似乎在喊：“还我孩子，还我孩子！”隔得远了，听不清楚。那两个盗党兵刃一举，忽地分向左右驰开。马春花一呆，两个孩子都是一般的心头之肉，不知该向哪一个追赶才是。 胡斐瞧得大怒，心想：“这些盗贼真是无恶不作。”叫道：“二妹，快来！”明知寡不敌众，若是插手，此事实极凶险，但眼见这种不平之事，总不能置之不理，于是纵马追了上去。但相隔既远，坐骑又没盗伙的马快，待追到马春花身边，两个大盗早已抱着孩子不知去向。只见马春花呆呆站着，却不哭泣。 胡斐叫道：“马姑娘别着急，我定当助你夺回孩子。”其实这时“马姑娘”早已成了“徐夫人”，但在胡斐心中，一直便是“马姑娘”，脱口而出，全没想到改口。 马春花听了此言，精神一振，便要跪将下去。胡斐忙道：“请勿多礼，徐兄呢？”马春花道：“我追赶孩子，他却给人缠住了。” 程灵素驰马奔到胡斐身边，说道：“北面又有敌人。”胡斐向北望去，果见尘土飞扬，又有八九骑奔来。胡斐道：“敌人骑的都是好马，咱们逃不远，得找个地方躲一躲。”游目四顾，一片空旷，并无藏身之处，只西北角上有一丛小树林。 程灵素马鞭一指，道：“去那边。”向马春花道：“上马呀！”马春花道：“多谢姑娘！”跃上马背，坐在她的身后。程灵素笑道：“你眼光真好，危急中还能瞧出我是女扮男装。”三人两骑，向树林奔去。 只奔出里许，盗党便已发觉，只听得声声唿哨，南边十余骑，北边八九骑，两头围了上来。 胡斐一马当先，抢入树林，见林后共有六七间小屋，心想再向前逃，非给追上不
