Chapter 27 Chapter 27: Someone in the Dianhai Sea heard ghosts crying

The white-clothed nun was in a daze for a while, seeing Wei Xiaobao approaching with a smile, knowing that he had put poison on the scriptures, she sighed: "If you weren't smart and alert, today I would inevitably die in the hands of the opponent, so that's all, I'm afraid I will have to be humiliated. It's just killing people There is no need to be so happy." Wei Xiaobao put away his smiling face, and replied: "Yes." The nun in white said again: "Such insidious and ruthless methods are not what a decent disciple of a famous school should do, and they are used to deal with them in times of crisis. Traitor, you have no choice but to use it indiscriminately from now on." Wei Xiaobao agreed again, and said: "This is the first time I have used these methods today. In fact, my martial arts are too bad, so I can't fight them openly. Otherwise, if a man is a man, if he wins he must be beautiful, how can he use such nonsense?"

The nun in white stared at him for a while, and asked: "You have been in Shaolin Temple and Qingliang Temple for a long time, didn't the eminent monks in the temple teach you martial arts?" Wei Xiaobao said: "I have learned some kung fu, but it's a pity that the younger generation can't learn it. I only learned some superficial moves, but I didn't practice my internal skills." The nun in white glanced at A Ke and asked, "Then why?" Wei Xiaobao said, "It's too late to practice." The nun in white said, "Why is it too late?" Wei Xiaobao Said: "Miss A Ke wanted to kill me because my disciple offended her. Time was running out, so I had to learn a few random tricks to defend myself and save my life."

The white-clothed nun nodded and said: "Just now you were talking to those lamas and kept calling me Master, what does that mean?" Wei Xiaobao blushed.A Ke hurriedly said: "Master, he has a bad idea in his heart and wants to worship you as a teacher." The nun in white smiled slightly and said, "It's not a bad idea to want to worship me as a teacher." A Ke said anxiously "No." She knew that Wei Xiaobao wanted to worship the nun in white as his teacher, but he really wanted to pester her all day long, but she couldn't say it. The nun in white said to Wei Xiaobao: "You call me Master, and you can't let you call me in vain." Wei Xiaobao was overjoyed, immediately knelt down, kowtowed eight times respectfully, and shouted: "Master." The nun in white smiled slightly , said: "After you enter our sect, you must abide by the rules and not mess around." Wei Xiaobao said: "Yes. My disciples only mess around with bad people, and always behave well with good people."

A Ke made a grimace at him, stuck out her tongue, and felt an indescribable annoyance in her heart: "This little villain has worshiped Master as his teacher, and he will never be able to kill him again. If you don't go, I really have a terrible headache." The nun in white was besieged by six lamas earlier, if Wei Xiaobao hadn't rescued her, she would have been unlucky. Afterwards, Sangjie and other seven lamas chased her, and she had nothing to do but wait to be captured, and the situation was even more dangerous.Although she is over 40 years old, she is still extremely beautiful. If she falls into the hands of these evil lamas, she will definitely suffer great humiliation. Fortunately, this child is cunning and cunning, and has eliminated the enemies one by one, preserving her innocence. The gratitude in my heart is real It is indescribable, seeing Wei Xiaobao's eagerness to be a teacher, he agreed to him immediately, thinking that the child's family is naughty and mischievous, there is nothing wrong with it, and after being nurtured and trained by him, he will definitely be famous in the world in the future.

According to the martial arts rules, since Wei Xiaobao has joined Chen Jinnan's sect, he must not learn another teacher without his master's permission, but he doesn't know these sect rules at all, even if he knew, he would ignore them at this time.Since the nun in white is willing to accept him as an apprentice, he can meet Ake from time to time. Even if Kangxi sends him an emperor to do it, he won't do it.He is very lazy in learning martial arts, thinking of learning martial arts from a nun in white, most likely he will have to work hard, and he will inevitably have a headache, but as long as he can be with A Ke, no matter how hard things are, he can enjoy it. It's normal to get off the baby.

The nun in white was delighted to see him, and said that he wanted to meet an enlightened master, so that he could master martial arts from now on. If he knew his intentions, he would probably kick him eight somersaults. A Ke pursed her lips and said: "Master, you can see that he is so happy, he really got a family." Wei Xiaobao said: "A master of martial arts in the world accepts me as an apprentice, I am naturally very happy Already." The nun in white smiled and said, "I am not the number one in martial arts in the world, so don't talk nonsense. Since you have entered my school, you must know the name of your teacher. My name is Jiu Nan, and our school is called Iron Sword Gate. Your teacher My ancestor is a Taoist, his Taoist name is Shangmuxiasang, he has passed away. Although I am a nun, my martial arts belong to Taoism." Wei Xiaobao said: "Yes, disciple remember."

The white-clothed nun Jiu Nan asked again: "A Ke, who is older between you and him?" A Ke said: "Of course I am the older." Wei Xiaobao said: "I am the older." Jiu Could it be: "Okay, don't argue , the first teacher is the big one, from now on the two don't shout 'A Ke girl' and 'little villain', one is Senior Sister Chen, and the other is Junior Brother Wei." Wei Xiaobao shouted loudly: "Senior Sister Chen." A Ke snorted He let out a sound, hindering his master, and did not dare to scold him, but gave him a hard look.

Nine: "Ah Ke, don't always worry about some small things in the past. This time Xiaobao has done something to save you and me. Even if he offended you, it is more than enough to make up for it." Speaking of this, lightly Sighing lightly, he thought to himself: "This kid is smart, but it's a pity that he was an eunuch because of his misfortune." Then he said: "Xiaobao was bullied and forced to become a eunuch in the past. As a senior sister, you should pity him for his loneliness. , take care of him more. This is also good, there is no distinction between men and women, so we don't have to worry about being together in the future, it will be much more convenient. But we must not tell anyone about this. "

A Ke agreed, thinking that the little villain was an eunuch, it didn't matter if he was rude to him in the past, she calmed down a little annoyed, turned her head and shouted: "Mr. Zheng, are you injured?" Zheng Keshuang approached with a limp, and said, "Fortunately, I only sprained a tendon in my leg." Thinking of what he had said before, he claimed that he was more than enough to deal with a few lamas. The enemy couldn't help being ashamed. Ake said: "Master, what should we do? Are we still going to Hejian Mansion?" Jiu Nan pondered: "It's fine to go to Hejian Mansion to have a look, but just in case Lama Sangjie leaves and comes back, now I'm going to act again Inconvenient." Wei Xiaobao said: "Master, you rest here, I'll go find a cart."

Wei Xiaobao couldn't find the big cart, but he bought an ox cart from the farmer, and asked Jiu Nan and the other three to sit on it, and drove the cart slowly, fortunately, Xi Sangjie didn't show up again.When I got to a small market in front, I abandoned the ox cart and hired two carts instead.
On the way, Wei Xiaobao must ask Master to take a few more "Xueshen Yuchan Pills".The Nine Difficulties has profound internal strength, and with the help of elixir, internal injuries heal very quickly.Two days later, at noon, we arrived at Hejian Mansion. After investing in the store, Zheng Keshuang went out to inquire about the news, and after more than an hour, he came back dejectedly, and said that he had inquired about the "Turtle Killing Conference" everywhere in the city, but no one knew about it.

Nine: "Where did you get the original information about the 'Turtle Killing Conference'?" Zheng Kesong said: "Feng Bupo, the hero of Lianghe, Brother Feng Buji, please send a letter to Taiwan from the Tiandihui, and ask my father to send someone to preside over it." 'Turtle Killing Conference', said that the conference is scheduled to be held in Hejian Mansion on the 15th of this month, and today is the 11th, so it is only four days away." Jiu Nan nodded and said slowly: "Brothers Feng? That is Mount Hua Sent." Looking up out of the window, he remembered what happened in the past. Zheng Keshun said: "Father ordered me to come and preside over the meeting. I expected that the Feng brothers would definitely send someone here to welcome them, but who would have thought... Huh..." His expression was very annoyed.Nine could it be: "Maybe the Tatars got the news, there was some change, so that the Feng brothers changed their living places." Zheng Keshun said bitterly: "Even so, you should inform me." While talking, the shop waiter came to the door and said: "Guest Zheng, there is someone outside asking to see you." Zheng Keshun was overjoyed and hurried out. They really apologize to me. They said they knew that I had brought more than 20 people here, and they had been waiting outside the city to welcome them for the past few days. Let's clean up the dust, please go together." Jiu Nan shook his head and said, "Young Master Zheng, you can go alone, and don't mention that I am here." Zheng Keshun was a little disappointed, and said: "Master doesn't like to be disturbed, so please Chen The girl and Brother Wei will go together." Jiu said: "They don't need to go, on the day of the meeting, everyone should go to the meeting together." That night Zheng Keshun came back drunk.In the middle of the night, more than 20 of his companions also found the inn, but everyone had wooden bandages on their hands and feet, which seemed very indecent. In the early morning of the next day, Zheng Keshuang told Jiu Nan, A Ke, and Wei Xiaobao about the situation at the banquet. He said that the Feng brothers respected him very much and asked him to sit at the head of the banquet. clear. Jiu Nan asked who came to the meeting.Zheng Keshun said: "There are already a lot of people who have come, and there are still more coming these days. We have scheduled a meeting at Huaishuping, 18 miles west of the city, at midnight on the 15th. The meeting at midnight is the eyes and ears of the Qing court. In fact, the Feng brothers Too careful, there are so many heroes here, even if there is a large group of Qing soldiers coming, they will be killed." Jiu Nan asked the names of the heroes present at the meeting, but Zheng Keshuang couldn't tell, he just said: "Who are there to drink together? Hundreds of people, dozens of people at the head came to toast my father one by one, and they reported the name of the sect themselves, but they couldn't remember that many." Jiu Nan stopped talking, thinking: " This Mr. Zheng has a good-looking appearance, but he has no talents." After resting in the inn for a few more days, Jiu Nan's injuries have recovered.She restrained A Ke and Wei Xiaobao from wandering outside, so as not to encounter martial arts figures and cause troubles.But Zheng Keshuang went out early in the morning and didn't return until midnight. He was invited by heroes of the rivers and lakes to invite him to a banquet every day. On the evening of the fifteenth day, Jiu Nan put on the clothes Wei Xiaobao had bought and dressed herself as a middle-aged woman, with a black handkerchief on her head, yellow powder on her face, and drooping eyebrows, and she never recognized her again. Show your true colors.Wei Xiaobao and A Ke were dressed as ordinary teenagers and girls.Zheng Keshun, however, was wearing a brocade robe, with the false braids removed, he was actually wearing the crown of a prince of the Ming Dynasty, looking radiant.Jiu Nan has not seen the clothes of his home country for a long time, but when he saw his clothes, he was both happy and emotional.Looking at his handsome appearance, A Ke was even more intoxicated.Only Wei Xiaobao was ashamed of himself, and secretly cursed seventeen or eight times, "Embroidered pillow bastard".
At one o'clock, the attendants of Yanping Palace drove the cart and took the four of them to Huaishuping for the meeting.Huaishuping is surrounded by mountains, and there is a large flat land in the middle. It used to be the place where the villagers went to fairs, games, and social dramas.The flat ground was already packed with people. As soon as Zheng Keshun arrived, there was thunderous cheers from all around, dozens of people came up to welcome him and surrounded him.Jiu Nan sat far away with A Ke and Wei Xiaobao under a big pagoda tree.At this time, people came one after another from the east, west, north, south, and more and more people gathered on the lawn.Wei Xiaobao thought to himself: "Wu Sangui, a traitor, has many enemies. Our world will make a bet with Mu Wangfu to see who will kill him first. This bastard has thousands of enemies. If someone strikes first, heaven and earth will kill him." Hui and Mu Palace will inevitably lose." Seeing a bright moon gradually moving overhead, a burly old man with a white beard fluttering in the lawn stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Everyone is a hero, I'm going to be polite to Feng." Good old hero." Jiu Nan said in a low voice: "He is the father of the Feng brothers." Recalling that on the top of Huashan Mountain, she once met him once, when she met the heroes of the rivers and lakes under the name of "Ajiu", she was still a teenager girl.At that time, Feng Nan's enemy was in his prime, but today he is very old.His master Mu Renqing and master Tongbi Abacus Huang Zhenlai are both dead. As for his master uncle Yuan Chengzhi?She missed this man dearly back then, but for more than twenty years, she had never heard from him.All these years, her heart has been calm, and when she first saw her old friend tonight, she couldn't help thinking about it, and all of them came to her heart suddenly. Seeing the tears in her eyes, Wei Xiaobao thought to himself: "Master saw this old man Feng, why did he want to cry all of a sudden, could it be that this old man is her old lover? I might as well help her to make some kind of reunion with her old lover. But Master is so young, he won't fall in love with this old man." I could only hear Feng Nandi's resounding voice, and he said loudly: "My friends, we gather here today, and everyone knows that it is for a big event. Our Ming Dynasty was occupied by the Tartars, and the culprit is that heinous, He deserves death..." The group of heroes from all directions shouted together: "Wu Sangui!" Everyone shouted in unison, it was really like thunder, the sound shook the mountains.Then some shouted: "Big traitor!" Some shouted: "Turtle son!" Some shouted: "Bastard!" Some shouted: "I fucked his eighteen generations of ancestors!" Everyone scolded for a while, and the voice gradually died down. Suddenly, a child's voice shouted loudly: "I fucked his nineteenth generation ancestor's grandma!" laughing out loud. This scolding came from Wei Xiaobao.A Ke said angrily: "How do you say such ugly words?" Wei Xiaobao said: "Everyone scolds, why can't I?" When I stopped talking, I thought to myself: "There are still a lot more words that are ten times worse." Feng Nandi said: "The villain's crime is extremely heinous, everyone hates it. Even though that little brother is young, he knows that he wants to eat his flesh raw and sleep his skin dead. Everyone gathered here tonight to discuss a good policy. How to kill this traitor." At the moment, the heroes are offering their ideas one after another.Some said that everyone went to Yunnan together, attacked the Pingxi Palace, and killed Wu Sangui's family; It would be too cheap for him, it would be better to gouge out his eyes, cut off his hands, and make him suffer unbearably; some said that it is better to use some powerful poison, which made his whole body rot. A middle-aged woman in black said: It is best to kill Wu Sangui's whole family, old and young, and leave him alone, so that he will suffer from loneliness and desolation.Another middle-aged man said: He surrendered to the Qing Dynasty because his concubine Chen Yuanyuan was captured by Li Chuang, why not go and capture Chen Yuanyuan and make him feel heartbroken.Another human said: Although Wu thief is lustful, what he loves most is power and wealth after all. It is best to let him be famous and rich, his wife and children have nothing, and he will be reduced to the world, but he will not die.Hundreds of heroes cheered loudly, and they all said: "If you are punished like this, you will be punished." A man said: "The Manchu Tartars are very fond of him. This thief was officially named King Pingxi, and his power spread to the sky. He killed his wife. Having children is not easy, but getting rid of his fame and wealth is even more difficult." A man from Yunnan stood up and told how Wu Sangui oppressed the people in Yunnan and killed people like hemp, all the heroes were filled with righteous indignation and blood boiled.Several people said that if Wu Sangui had one more day of power in Yunnan, he would kill a few more innocent people.But no one has a really good idea on how to eliminate rape and harm. At this time, Feng Nandi and his son prepared the beef, noodle cakes, and wine, and the running water price was sent up, and the crowd burst into cheers, eating and drinking.Once these high-end wines were in their stomachs, their speech became even more unscrupulous and whimsical. Some people said: After capturing Chen Yuanyuan, they will open a brothel and make Wu Sangui really a big turtle. When Wei Xiaobao heard this, he strongly agreed, and shouted: "This brothel must be opened in Yangzhou." A wealthy man said with a smile: "Little brother, this is a good idea. Are you going to go shopping at that time?" Wei Xiaobao Just about to say "Of course I'm going", when I saw A Ke's face full of anger, I didn't dare to say these words.Nine: "Xiaobao, don't talk about these dirty words in the market." Wei Xiaobao replied: "Yes." But he thought in his heart: "If we want to open a brothel, I'm afraid there are thousands of people here, and none of them can be as good as I am." After everyone ate and drank for a while, Feng Nandi stood up again and said: "We are all rude warriors. It is our duty to kill the enemy with one knife and one gun, but we have little knowledge about major events in the world. Now I ask Mr. Gu Tinglin to advise. Mr. Gu He is a great Confucianist in the world, after the country was broken, he traveled all over the country, contacted the virtuous, and devoted himself to planning for the restoration, everyone admired him very much." Many of the heroes knew Gu Tinglin, and his name was even more famous. Everyone knows it, and there was thunderous applause from all around. Standing up in the crowd was an old man with a clear appearance, it was Gu Tinglin.He cupped his hands and said: "Brother Feng Daxia praised you so much, I am really ashamed of you. I just listened to everyone's words, and everyone was loyal and determined to punish this traitor. I admire you very much. The ancients said: 'United will makes a city', and there is another saying: 'With all sincerity, gold and stones will open'. We all work together and are determined to deal with the culprit, let him have great abilities, and we will eventually succeed." The heroes shouted loudly: "Yes, yes! It will definitely succeed." Gu Tinglin said: "Every one of the strategies mentioned by you has great opinions, but to deal with this traitor, you have to adapt to the situation and it is difficult to draw up a definite strategy. According to the humble opinion of the brothers, everyone will split up and act according to the situation. The first Of course, you must not leak the news, so that the traitor should step up his precautions; second, you must not be reckless, and you must plan everything before you act, so as not to kill yourself in vain; Fighting hurts morale." All the heroes said: "Yes, yes, Mr. Gu is right." Gu Tinglin said: "Today, heroes from all sects and guilds gather together. Afterwards, if each of them goes his own way, and the forces are too scattered, forming a big gang, the number of people is too large, and it is very easy for the tartars and Wu thieves to perceive it. What's your plan?" Qunhao was silent for a while.One person said, "I don't know what Mr. Gu's opinion is?" Gu Tinglin said: "From my brother's point of view, there are heroes from 18 provinces in the world. Our province forms an alliance, and there are 18 turtle-killing alliances in total. Well, the 'turtle-killing alliance' sounds indecent. How about calling it the 'Elimination of Traitors'?" All the heroes applauded and said, "What the scholars say is very different from us rough people after all." Before Gu Tinglin came to participate in the "Turtle Killing Conference" in Hejian Mansion, he had thought it over carefully, and felt that all the heroes wanted to kill Wu Sangui, and they all went forward bravely, and it would not be difficult to kill him.But the real big thing is not to kill this traitor, but to drive out the Manchus and restore the Han family.If killing one person results in heavy casualties and loss of vitality, it will be harmful to the great cause of recovery.People who study martial arts have very deep sectarian views, it is very difficult for these thousands of heroes to be under one person.In order to compete for the position of "Leader", everyone will inevitably fight openly and secretly, and there will be many rifts.If the losers are narrow-minded, they might even inform the Qing court or Wu Sangui.However, if it is divided into 18 provinces and each elects a leader, it will not be a mess and have no jurisdiction, and it is much easier for each province to elect a leader.The "anti-traitor alliance" in these eighteen provinces can gradually expand in the future and become the backbone of the uprising against the Qing Dynasty.When he advocated this proposal, he was very pleased to hear that the group of heroes expressed their support. Feng Nandi said: "Mr. Gu's intention is very clever. Since there is no objection from everyone, we will divide into 18 provinces, and each group will elect a leader. The method of dividing the provinces does not follow each One’s native place depends on which province the sect’s roots are in. For example, monks and lay disciples of Shaolin Temple, whether they are from Liaodong or Yunnan, all belong to Henan Province. Huashan sect’s disciples all belong to Shaanxi Province. How do you feel?" Qunhao said: "It should be like this. Otherwise, in every sect and gang, there are people from every province, and they belong to every province. It would be a mess." One person stood up and said: "Our Tian Di Hui has branches in several provinces, but the location of the head office has not been fixed. May I ask how should it belong?" Seeing that the person who spoke was Qian Laoben, Wei Xiaobao thought to himself: "It turns out that he is here too. I don't know how many of my brothers from Qingmu Hall are here." Feng Nandi said loudly: "Mr. Gu said: The heroes of the Guangdong branch of the Tiandihui belong to Guangdong, and the Zhili branch belongs to Zhili. We are just forming an alliance to achieve great things, not dismantling the original sect and gang." The responsibility of the leader of the league is to contact the heroes of the province in order to work together. As for the affairs of the various sects, gangs and associations, it is natural that the affairs of the various sects and factions remain the same, and the leader has no right to intervene. The leaders of the provinces are not superior to the sects The leader of the gang, the leader of the various gangs." Among the group of heroes, some people had concerns, fearing that the election of the leaders of the provinces would inevitably lower themselves, and it was even more worrying to hear that Feng Nandi made such a clear distinction.At present, the provinces gather separately and elect themselves. Wei Xiaobao said: "Master, which province do we count?" Nine Doubts: "It doesn't count in any province. I come and go alone, so I don't need to join." Wei Xiaobao said: "As an old man with martial arts, you should be the world's leader The leader of the alliance is the one." Jiu Nan said "Hey" and said, "You can't say these words again, if people hear them, they won't be ridiculed." In her heart, among the heroes present, there was no one who was more respected than her.This great Ming country originally belonged to her Zhu family.Speaking of martial arts cultivation, in addition to learning the Iron Sword Gate martial arts taught by Taoist Mu Sang, she had an adventure more than ten years ago, and she has made great progress. Compared with Taoist Mu Sang back then, she is far behind. Green out of blue, looking around the world, except for the missing Yuan Chengzhi, I'm afraid there is no one to fight against. On the lawn, the heroes gathered in eighteen piles.In addition, there were seventy or eighty people standing sparsely.Those are all strange people and Yishi who are similar to Jiu Nan, they neither want to be the leader of the alliance, nor do they want to obey the orders of others.Gu Tinglin and Feng Nandi understood the temperament and habits of these martial arts masters, so they didn't force them, thinking that since they came to the meeting, they would secretly extend their hands to help when they encountered problems. Not long after, the leaders of several provinces were elected first.Henan Province is the abbot of Shaolin Temple Huicong Zen Master, Hubei Province is the head of the Wudang School Taoist Yunyan, Shaanxi Province is the head of the Huashan School "Eight-faced Prestige" Feng Nandi, and Yunnan Province is the Master Mu Jiansheng of Mu Wangfu. Fujian Province is Zheng Keshuang, the second son of the King of Yanping County, who is expected by everyone, and he was launched without any objection at once.The other provinces had some disputes for a while, and some disputes were unresolved. Gu Tinglin was asked to mediate impartially in the past, and finally pushed them out one by one.Among them, three provinces are headed by the Xiangzhu branch of the Tiandihui, and the Tiandihui can be regarded as very respectable. At present, the leaders of all the provinces are gathered together, but there are only thirteen people. It turns out that Zen Master Hui Cong and Taoist Yun Yan did not attend the meeting, and their disciples participated on their behalf.Feng Nandi said in a loud voice: "Now the next 18 provincial leaders have been announced, brothers do not announce the names of the leaders in public, so as not to leak the secrets." The leaders discussed for a while, Feng Nandi said again: "We respectfully invite Gu Ting Mr. Lin and Chief Chen of the Tiandihui are the chief military advisers of the Eighteen Provinces' Anti-Craft League." The crowd roared with joy.Wei Xiaobao was very proud to hear that his master was so respected by all the heroes, and became the chief military officer of the "Alliance to Eliminate Traitors". At present, heroes from various provinces are discussing how to kill Wu Sangui, one group in the east and another group in the west, and they are talking very vigorously.
Jiu Nan took Wei Xiaobao and A Ke back to the inn, and the next morning they hired a car and headed east.Nine difficulties know that the heroes are scattered all over the place, and they will definitely meet acquaintances along the way, so they don't get rid of disguises. Seeing that Zheng Keshun no longer followed, Wei Xiaobao was overjoyed, and couldn't stop talking about last night's "Turtle Killing Conference".A Ke listened to him for a while, rolled his eyes at him, and said: "I know why you are so happy." Wei Xiaobao said: "You are so smart, you guessed right. There are so many people who are going to kill Wu Sangui, how can there be no The reason for success? I am naturally very happy." A Ke said: "Hmph, you are not happy about this. Is your heart so good?" Wei Xiaobao said: "This is strange, so why am I happy?" A Ke said: "Just because Mr. Zheng... Mr. Zheng..." Seeing her annoyed expression, Wei Xiaobao provoked her on purpose, and said: "Ah, yes. Mr. Zheng is indeed a good person. I went out to hire a car just now and saw him with four beautiful girls, talking and laughing. After me, I want me to greet Master and you." A Ke's heart jumped, and said: "You...why didn't you say it earlier? What did he say?" Wei Xiaobao said: "He said, these chivalrous women want to When he went to Taiwan for fun, he took them with him, saying that he wanted to do something for the landlord..." A Ke gritted his teeth and said, "The friendship of the landlord." Wei Xiaobao said: "That's right, that's right! It turns out that the senior sister You followed me just now, and you heard it all." A Ke said angrily, "I didn't hear it." At this point, her voice was a little choked up. After traveling for more than ten miles, there was a sound of horseshoes behind him, dozens of horses chased after him, and A Ke's face lit up with joy.But these dozens of riders passed the cart and galloped eastward without stopping, and Ake's face darkened again.Wei Xiaobao said: "It's a pity, it's a pity, no!" A Ke said, "What a pity?" Maybe he also invites you to Taiwan." A Ke cried out with a "wow". Jiu Nan knew what the female disciple was thinking, and reprimanded: "Xiaobao, don't always play tricks and provoke your senior sister." Wei Xiaobao was overjoyed, and agreed: "Yes, yes." Then he said: "The king and grandson of the world, three wives Four concubines, eight wives and nine concubines, are the most unconscionable. When those four beautiful women arrive in Taiwan, I think it will be very difficult to get back. This Mr. Zheng will have to bring a few more beauties when he arrives in Zhejiang and Fujian. ..." Jiu Nan shouted: "Xiaobao!" Wei Xiaobao said: "Yes, yes." The three of them walked until noon, and they were fighting in a small noodle shop by the road. Suddenly, they heard the sound of horseshoes, and dozens of riders came from the west. A group of people came to the door of the noodle shop, got off their horses and entered the shop, someone shouted: "Kill the chicken, cut the beef, make noodles, hurry up, hurry up!" They all sat down.Wei Xiaobao saw that they were all acquaintances, Xu Tianchuan, Qian Laoben, Guan Anji, Li Lishi, Feng Jizhong, Gao Yanchao, Taoist Xuanzhen, Fan Gang, all the masters of the Qingmu Hall of the Tiandihui were among them.He thought: "Although I said a few words and scolded some people in the meeting last night, there were so many people, noisy, and they were far away from me. I must not have recognized them in the dark. Otherwise, how could they be at that time?" Why don't you come to say hello? At this moment, I recognize each other as before, talking about all kinds of things, and seeing that I have worshiped another master, I am probably unhappy, and it is better to pretend not to be there." At that moment, he turned sideways inward, his eyes were fixed. against them. After a while, the food and wine that Xu Tianchuan and the others wanted were brought up one after another.Everyone picked up their chopsticks and was about to eat and drink, when suddenly the sound of horseshoes sounded, and another group of people came to the shop.Someone shouted: "Kill the chicken, cut the beef, make noodles, hurry, hurry!" A Ke exclaimed with great joy: "Ah, Mr. Zheng... Mr. Zheng is here." It turned out that this group of people was accompanied by Zheng Keshuang. He heard A Ke calling, turned around and saw her, overjoyed in his heart, hurriedly approached, and said: "Miss Chen, Mrs. Madam, you are here, I have searched everywhere but you are missing." The noodle shop was very narrow, and the heroes of the Heaven and Earth Society sat at six tables, plus A Ke and the other three sat at one table, and there were no empty tables.One of Zheng's companions said to Xu Tianchuan: "Hey, old man, squeeze some of you and let some tables come out." During the "Turtle Killing Conference" last night, Zheng Keshun was wearing Ming Dynasty costumes, everyone was paying attention, Xu Tianchuan and others all recognized him, Tiandihui was a subordinate of Yanping County King, originally intended to give up his seat, but this companion was very speechless Li, when everyone heard it, they were all angry.Taoist Xuanzhen scolded: "Fuck, what?" Li Lishi winked and said in a low voice: "Everyone, don't be as knowledgeable as him, it's okay to give up your seat." At the moment Xu Tianchuan, Guan Anji, Gao Yanchao, Fan Gang The four stood up, sat down at a table in Feng Ji, and let a table come out. At this time, Zheng Keshun had already sat down at Jiu Nan's table.A Ke glared at Wei Xiaobao, and said, "Lying to your face! He also said that Mr. Zheng brought four heroines..." Wei Xiaobao said: "Once Mr. Zheng arrives, it doesn't matter if you don't like sitting with me, and if you see me, you won't be able to eat." He walked to Xu Tianchuan and sat down, and said in a low voice: "Everyone, please don't eat. Recognize me." When Xu Tianchuan and the others saw it, they were both surprised and delighted.These people are all old Jiang Hu, extremely alert, once they heard what he said, they immediately understood, and no one made any changes.Wei Xiaobao said again in a low voice: "Let's just pretend that we have never met before, Brother Xu, go and tell everyone." Xu Tianchuan stood up, walked to Li Lishi's seat, and said in a low voice: "Master Wei Xiang is here. I want everyone to pretend that they don't know each other." Li Lishi and the others didn't look back, they just drank and ate food, and they were all happy, and in a short while, every table was notified. On the table over there, Zheng Keshuang was elated and said loudly: "Master, at the meeting last night, all the heroes elected me to be the leader of Fujian Province. Everyone discussed important matters until dawn. I went to the inn to look for it, but you have already left Fortunately, I have been chasing you all the way, and I am lucky to meet you here." Jiu Poor: "Congratulations, Mr. Zheng. But such a confidential matter, don't mention it among the public." Zheng Keshuang said: "Yes. Fortunately, there is no one else here. Those in the countryside You idiots don’t understand.” It turned out that all the heroes of the Tiandihui were dressed as peasants, each of them was barefooted, and some were carrying hoes and rakes.There were many people in the meeting last night, but Zheng Keshuang didn't recognize them. Wei Xiaobao lowered his head to eat the noodles, and said in a low voice: "This guy is very arrogant. He has been bragging all over the Hejian Mansion these days, saying that our Tiandihui is a subordinate of his Taiwan Yanping Palace, and that the chief rudder has met him, and even respectfully He didn't dare to take a breath. He also said that our incense master Cai, who used to be his grandfather's groom, and the incense master Li, who poured the potty for his grandfather..." Guan Anji was furious Said: "How can there be such a thing! Although Cai Xiangzhu and Li Xiangzhu were under Guo Xingye's subordinates, they were all officers who fought in battle..." Xu Tianchuan said in a low voice: "Master Guan, keep your voice down." Guan Anji nodded.Wei Xiaobao said again: "He also said a lot of bad things about Yin Xiangzhu of our Qingmutang. Others said that Yin Xiangzhu had already passed away. This boy said: "Yes, this Yin's martial arts is low, and he is a leader again. I knew it would be short-lived. Ghost...'" Guan Anji was furious, raised his palm and slapped the table heavily, Xu Tianchuan quickly grabbed his wrist. Wei Xiaobao knew that the heroes would not offend the people of the Yanping Palace, not to mention that this kid is the prince's son, if he hadn't provoked them wantonly, it would be difficult to provoke them to do something. Seeing that everyone was angry, he secretly liked him, but his face was deeply worried, and he said: " This kid is talking nonsense, it doesn't matter at all. It's just that he swaggered along the way, talking about many confidential and important matters in our meeting, and he said something when he met everyone, such as "the ground vibrates the high hills, and the streams and mountains are beautiful through the ages." On the top of the red flower pavilion, the chief rudder burned six sticks of incense, and he himself burned seven sticks of incense. Those who listened did not understand, so he explained in detail..." All the heroes shook their heads at the same time. If such secrets in the meeting were leaked out like this, if they fell into the ears of the imperial court eagle claws, everyone in the Tiandihui would be in danger of their lives. Seeing Zheng Keshuang's frivolous expression, the companions he brought should be domineering. How can there be any fakes?What's more, just now I heard him talking to a woman about what happened in the "Turtle Killing Conference" last night, and he proudly claimed to be the leader of Fujian Province. Wei Xiaobao said: "I think we have to kill him, otherwise something bad will happen." All the heroes nodded slowly, Wei Xiaobao said: "Brother Feng, please beat him up, but don't beat him too hard, just Teach him a lesson. I will come out to fight the injustice later, please Brother Feng pretend to lose to me." Feng Jizhong nodded slightly.Wei Xiaobao said again: "Qian Laoben, you talked in the meeting last night, I'm afraid this kid recognizes you." Qian Laoben said in a low voice: "Yes, I'll avoid it first." Among the companions in Zheng's residence, many of them didn't have any seats, one of them saw that there was still room for the heroes of the Heaven and Earth Association, he pushed Xu Tianchuan lightly on the back, and said: "Hey, there is still space over there, you can let another table come out .” Xu Tianchuan jumped up and scolded: "Isn't it enough to give up a table? I don't like the sons of rich people the most, bullying others." With a cough, he spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm, and spat it at Zheng Keshuang. Zheng Keshun was talking to A Ke, so he didn't pay attention at all, he felt the wind, thick phlegm had reached his cheeks, and after a quick flash, it still fell on his head and neck, it was greasy and disgusting.He hurriedly took out his handkerchief to wipe it off, and cursed angrily: "You country bastards are so lawless, hit me!" A companion punched Xu Tianchuan. Xu Tianchuan yelled "Ah yo", and before his fist hit his face, he fell backwards, pretending to fall into a panic, and shouted: "I'm killing you! I'm killing you!" Zheng Keshuang and A Ke laughed loudly. laugh. Feng Jizhong stood up, pointed at Zheng Keshun and shouted, "What's so funny?" Zheng Keshun said angrily, "I'm going to laugh, can you control me?" Feng Jizhong stretched out his hand, and slapped him hard. slap.Zheng Keshun was startled and angry, he rushed forward and punched him twice.Feng Ji dodged left and right, turned around and fled out the door. Zheng Keshuang chased after him, and punched Feng Jizhong head-on, Feng Jizhong leaned to avoid it.Feng Jizhong understood Wei Xiaobao's intentions, he wanted to make Mr. Zheng look ugly, lower his arrogance, and fight him with punches here and there. Xu Tianchuan shouted: "The prestige of our Funiu Mountain heroes in Henan cannot be lost in the hands of this little guy." The words are also very measured, and not a word insults his family.李力世喝道：“咱们伏牛山这次出来做案，还没发市，正好撞上这穿金戴银的小子，把他抓了去，叫他老子拿一百万两银子来赎票。” 郑府众伴当见公子一时战不下这乡下人，听得众人呼喝，原来是伏牛山的盗匪，当即取出兵刃，杀将过去。徐天川、樊纲、玄贞道人、高彦超、关安基、李力世等一齐出手，登时乒乒乓乓的打得十分热闹。郑府那些伴当虽然都是延平王府精选的卫士，又怎及得上天地会群雄，兼之数日前被众喇嘛折断了手足，个个身上负伤，不数合间便被一一制服。天地会群雄手下留情，只是夺去他们兵刃，将之围成一圈，执刀监视，并不损伤他们身子。 那边郑克塽斗得十余合，眼见风际中手脚笨拙，跌跌撞撞，似乎下盘极为不稳，当下抖擞精神，将生平绝技尽数施展出来。他有心要在阿珂之前炫耀，以博美人青睐，挥拳生风，踢腿有声，着着进逼。风际中似乎只有招架之功，往往在千钧一发之际避过。 阿珂瞧得心焦，不住低叫：“啊哟，可惜，又差了一点儿。”韦小宝走近前去，说道：“师父，你老人家身子未曾痊愈，这些大盗凶悍得紧，待会郑公子如果落败，你老人家别出手罢。”阿珂怒道：“你瞧他全然占了上风，怎会打输？真是瞎三话四。” 九难微笑道：“这些人似乎对郑公子并无恶意，只是跟他开开玩笑。这一位对手，武功可比郑公子强得太多了。”阿珂不信，问道：“师父，你说那强盗的武功高过郑公子？”九难微笑道：“那还用说？这人武功着实了得，只怕也未必是什么伏牛山的强盗。倘若他们真是强盗，嘴里就不会乱叫乱嚷，说什么要绑票做案。” 韦小宝心想：“毕竟师父眼光高明。”说道：“那么弟子去劝他们别打了罢？”阿珂白了他一眼，道：“你有什么面子，什么本事？能劝得他们动？”韦小宝道：“这强盗武功虽高，拳脚中却有老大破绽。郑公子斗他不下，我在十招之内，定可打得他落荒而逃。” 九难知他武功低微，但说不定又有什么希奇古怪的法子，足以制胜，说道：“这伙人看来不是坏人，不可伤了他们性命。”顿了一顿，又道：“那些下三滥的下蒙汗药、放毒之类手段，若不是面临生死关头，决不可使。你已是我铁剑门的门下，可不能坏了本派名头。”韦小宝道：“是，是。我听师父的话，决不损伤他们便是。” 九难轻轻叹了口气，忽然想起当年华山之巅，铁剑门掌门人玉真子来向木桑道人寻衅之事。玉真子奸淫掳掠，无恶不作。说到铁剑门的名头，一来门下人丁寥落，名声不响，二来由于玉真子之故，实在也没什么光彩。这小弟子轻浮跳脱，如不走上正途，只怕将来成了玉真子的嫡系传人，那可大大不妥了。 韦小宝见她忽有忧色，自然不明白其中的道理，只道她瞧出天地会群雄武功不弱，她武功未复，深感难以应付，便道：“师父你尽管放心，我有法子救郑公子的性命。” 阿珂啐道：“又来胡说了。郑公子转眼便赢，要你救什么性命？” 刚说到这里，只听得嗤的一声响，郑克塽的长袍已被拉下了一片。郑克塽大怒，出手更加快了，却听得嗤嗤嗤之声不绝，风际中十根手指便如鹰爪一般，将他长袍、内衣、裤子一片片的撕将下来，但用劲恰到好处，丝毫不伤到他肌肉。郑克塽眼见再撕得几下，身子便会全裸，惊惶之下，转身欲逃。风际中双臂一曲，两手手肘已抵到他胸前。 郑克塽急忙后退，双拳击出，只觉手腕一紧，风际中左手已握住他右手，右手握住他左手，顺势一挥，将他身子掷出，叫道：“接住了！”这一掷竟有七八丈远。 玄贞道人展开轻功追去，抬头叫道：“高兄弟，你来接班！”高彦超立即跃出。樊纲、徐天川、关安基等觉得有趣，纷纷大呼奔去。玄贞道人接住了郑克塽，便又掷出，落下时刚好高彦超赶到，接住后再掷给数丈外的徐天川。 这些人的膂力有强弱，轻功有高低，掷人时或远或近，奔跃时或快或慢，但郑克塽在半空中飞出数十丈以外，始终没有落地。天地会群雄各展所长，这时方显出真功夫来。关安基膂力奇大，先将郑克塽向天掷上四五丈，待他落下时，双掌在他背心一推，两股力道并在一起，郑克塽犹似腾云驾雾一般，这一下飞得更远。 韦小宝看得高兴之极，拍手大笑，突然后脑秃的一声响，给阿珂用手指节重重打了个爆栗。他一惊回头。阿珂惊怒交集，急道：“他们绑了他去啦，你……你快去救人。”韦小宝道：“他们跟郑公子又没冤仇，师父说不过是开开玩笑，你何必着急？”阿珂道：“不，不是的，他们绑了他去，要勒索一百万两银子。”韦小宝道：“郑公子家里银子多得很，三百万、四百万也出得起，一百万两银子打什么紧？” 阿珂右足在地下重重一顿，说道：“唉，你不生眼睛么？他……他给这些强盗整得死去活来。”韦小宝在她耳边轻声道：“你要我救他，这也不难，你得答应做我老婆。”阿珂怒道：“胡说。”远远望去，见郑克塽给人接住后不再抛掷，听得有人叫道：“喂，你们快回去拿银子，到伏牛山来赎人。我们不会伤害这小子性命，每天只打他三百大板。银子早到一天，他就少挨三百下，迟到十天，多吃三千板。”阿珂拉住韦小宝的手，急道：“你听，你听，他们每天要打他三百板，这里去台湾路途遥远，一个月也不能来回。” 韦小宝道：“每天三百板，就算两个月罢，两个月六十天，三六一十八，也不过一千八百板……”阿珂道：“唉，不是的，是一万八千板，你这人真是……”韦小宝笑道：“我算数不行。这一万八千板打下来，他的'屁股功'可练得登峰造极了。”阿珂怒极，将他手掌一摔，道：“我再也不睬你了。”又气又急，哭了出来。 韦小宝道：“好，好，别哭，我来想法子。不过我刚才提的条款，你可不能赖。”阿珂道：“你快救了他再说。”韦小宝知道她只是随口敷衍，真要她答应嫁给自己，那是无论如何不肯的，说道：“我为你赴汤蹈火，在所不辞，以后你可不得再欺侮我。” 阿珂道：“是，是！快去，快去！”说这话时，眼光没向他带上一眼，只是瞧着远处的郑克塽，但见他双手已被反绑，给人抱上了马背，转眼便给带走了，情急之下，伸手在韦小宝背上推了推。韦小宝心中骂道：“他奶奶的，老子遇到的美貌妞儿，总是求我去救她的心上人。老子这冤大头可做得熟手之极，只怕'冤大头功'也练得登峰造极了。” 他快步奔出，叫道：“喂，喂，伏牛山的大王，在下有话说。” 群雄早就在等他挺身而出，当下都转过身来。高彦超道：“小兄弟，你有什么话说？”韦小宝道：“你们干么要抓他？”高彦超道：“我们山寨里兄弟众多，缺了粮食，今日将他暂行扣押，要向他爹爹借一百万两银子。”韦小宝道：“一百万两银子，那是小事一件，我借给你们便是。” 高彦超哈哈大笑，说道：“小兄弟尊姓大名？凭什么说这等大话？”韦小宝道：“我名叫韦小宝。”高彦超“啊哟”一声，抱拳行礼，躬身说道：“原来是小白龙韦英雄，你杀死满洲第一勇士鳌拜，天下扬名，我们好生仰慕，今日拜见尊范，实是三生有幸。”樊纲等一齐恭谨行礼。韦小宝抱拳还礼，道：“不敢当。”高彦超道：“冲着韦英雄大大的面子，这小子我们放了。那一百万两银子，也不敢要了。”徐天川从身边取出两只大元宝来，双手恭恭敬敬的呈上，说道：“韦英雄，你路上倘若使费不足，这里一百两银子，请先收用。” 韦小宝道：“多谢！”收下元宝，转身交给阿珂。阿珂万万想不到这个小恶人名头竟如此响亮，这些凶神恶煞的大强盗一听他自报姓名，竟如下属见到了顶头上司一般。她哪知这个“小恶人”，其实正是这些“大强盗”的顶头上司，这些“大强盗”为了凑趣，故意的加倍巴结，演出一出好戏。她又惊又喜，心想郑公子终于脱却了危难。 却见风际中踏上一步，说道：“且慢。韦英雄，你杀死鳌拜，我们是万分佩服的。只不过大家素不相识，怎知你是真的韦英雄，还是冒充他老人家的大名，出来招摇撞骗？”韦小宝道：“这话倒也有理，阁下要怎样才能相信？”风际中道：“在下斗胆，想请韦英雄指点三招。满洲第一勇士都死在你手下，尊驾武功自然非同小可，是真是假，一试就知。” 韦小宝道：“好，咱们只试招式，点到即止。”风际中道：“正是，还请韦英雄手下留情，以免打得在下身受重伤。”韦小宝暗暗好笑，心想：“风大哥向来不爱说话，哪知做起戏来，竟然似模似样。”便道：“老兄不必客气，说不定我不是你对手。”左手一指，右手轻飘飘拍了出去，只拍出半尺，手掌转了一圈，斜拍反捺，正是澄观试演过的“般若掌”中的一招“无色无相”。 风际中见闻甚博，叫道：“妙极，这'般若掌'的高招，叫做'无色……'什么的。”伸手一接，向后一仰，险些摔倒。 韦小宝掌上原无半分内功，笑道：“阁下说得是，这是一招'无色无相'。”跟着左手斜举，自右上角挥向左下角，突然五指成抓，晃几下。风际中大叫：“了不起，又是'般若掌'神功，这是'灵鹫听经'。”摆起马步，双掌缓缓前推，掌心和韦小宝手指尖微微一触，立刻“啊”的一声大叫，向后急翻三个筋斗。他翻筋斗之时，潜运内力，待得站定，满脸已涨得血红，便如喝了十七八碗烈酒一般，身子晃了几晃，一交坐倒，摇手道：“不……不成……不比了，佩服之至！韦英雄，多谢你饶我性命。” 韦小宝拱手道：“老兄承让。”说话之时，连连向他霎眼。风际中却做得甚像，脸上神色又是沮丧，又是感激，还带着几分衷心钦佩之意。 徐天川迈步而前，说道：“韦英雄武功惊人，果然名不虚传，在下来领教几招。”韦小宝道：“好！”欺身而上，双手交叉，一手扭他左胸，一手拿他右胁，乃是少林派上乘武功“拈花擒拿手”中的一招。徐天川见他这一招擒拿手十分高明，不禁暗暗佩服：“韦香主聪明之极，一学武功便进步神速。”他却不知韦小宝出手招式似模似样，其实没丝毫内力，纵然给他拿住了，也是一无所损。徐天川身材矮小，最擅长的武功是巧打擒拿，当即施展看家本领，与韦小宝拆将起来。 数招之后，两人双手扭住，徐天川“啊”的一声，右手软软下垂，假装被扭脱了关节，说道：“佩服之至！”退开两步，左手托住了自己右手，一送一挺，装上了关节。这一项自上关节的手法，原是擒拿手中的上乘武功，他照做之时，一丝不苟，上得干净利落。 跟着樊纲、玄贞道人、李力世三人一一上前讨战。韦小宝所使的尽是澄观所授的上乘招式，樊纲等三人都是或三四招、或七八招便败了下去。高彦超朗声道：“今日得见韦英雄高招，当真令人大开眼界，小人等佩服之至！他日韦英雄路过伏牛山，还请不弃，上山来盘桓数日。”韦小宝道：“那自然是要叨扰的。” 群雄躬身行礼，牵马行开，一直走到镇尾，这才上马而去。他们竟然不敢在韦小宝面前上马，实是恭敬之极。 阿珂终于服了：“这小恶人原来武功高强，每次假装打我不过，都是故意让我的。” 到此地步，郑克塽只得过来向韦小宝道谢。韦小宝笑道：“郑公子不必客气，我不过运气好，误打误撞，胜了他们，讲到真实武功，那是远远不及阁下了。”他这几句话其实倒是真话，但郑克塽听来，却觉得是极辛辣的讥刺，不由得满脸通红。 当晚一行人南到献县，投了客店。九难遣开阿珂，问韦小宝道：“白天跟你做戏的那些人，都是你的朋友，是不是？”九难眼光何等厉害，风际中、徐天川那些人的做作，瞒得过郑克塽和阿珂，却怎瞒得过这位武学高人？韦小宝知道西洋镜已经拆穿，笑道：“也不算是什么朋友。”九难道：“这些人武功个个颇为了得，怎肯陪着你如此闹着玩？”韦小宝笑道：“他们多半看不惯郑公子的骄傲模样，想是借着弟子，挫折一下他的骄气。”九难心想此言倒也有理，说道：“你那几招般若掌、拈花擒拿手法，使得可也不错啊。”韦小宝笑道：“那是装腔作势唬人的，管不了用。”
说话之间，只听得人喧马嘶，有一大帮人来投店。一人大声道：“一间上房，定要最好的，其余的将就些也就罢了。”韦小宝一听，心中一喜，认得是沐王府摇头狮子吴立身。 韦小宝问：“师父，咱们是不是去杀吴三桂？”九难道：“我这次所受内伤着实不轻，虽然伤势好了，内力未复，须得找个清静所在将养些时日，再定行止。否则倘再遇上敌人，我不能出手，老是由你去胡混瞎搞，咱们铁剑门太不成话。”说着也不由得好笑。 韦小宝道：“是，是。师父身子要紧。”从行囊中取出极品旗枪龙井茶叶，泡了一盖碗茶，说道：“弟子日后学会了师父的武功，遇上敌人，就可正大光明的动手了。师父，我去街上瞧瞧，看看有什么新鲜的蔬菜。”走出房来，只见阿珂与郑克塽正并肩走向店外，神情十分亲热，登时心底一股醋意直涌上来，便跟在二人身后。 阿珂回头道：“跟着我干么？”韦小宝道：“我又不是跟着你。我去给师父买菜。”阿珂道：“好！郑公子，咱们向这边走。”伸手向着城西的一座小山一指。韦小宝妒火更炽，说道：“小心些，别碰上了山大王，我可不能来救你们。”阿珂白了他一眼，道：“谁要你救了？”郑克塽知他是重提自己丑事，甚是恼怒，哼了一声，快步而行。 韦小宝眼见二人渐渐走远，忽听得阿珂格格一声笑，激怒之下伸手拔出匕首，便欲追上去将郑克塽杀了，跨出两步，心想：“当真要打，我可不是他二人对手。” 当下强忍怒气，到街上去买了些口蘑、冬菇、木耳、粉丝，提着回到店中，见阿珂和郑克塽尚未回来，想像他二人在僻静之处谈情说爱，只气得不住大骂。 突然有人在他肩头轻轻一拍，一把抱住，笑道：“韦兄弟，你在这里？”韦小宝转头一看，原来是御前侍卫总管多隆，不由得大喜，笑道：“你怎么来了？”只见他身后跟着十余人，都是御前侍卫，穿的却是寻常小兵装束。众侍卫见了他，个个眉花眼笑，却不上前参见招呼。多隆低声道：“这里人杂，到我房里说话。”原来他们一干人便也住在这客房里。 到得房中，众侍卫才一一上前参见，韦小宝笑道：“罢了，罢了！”取出一千两银票，笑道：“众位兄弟们去喝酒花用罢。”众侍卫早知这位副总管出手豪阔，只要遇上了他，必有好处，当下欢然道谢。 多隆低声道：“韦兄弟，自从你在五台山遇险之后，皇上日常记挂在心，派我们出来寻找你的下落。” 韦小宝心下感激，站起身来，说道：“多谢皇上恩德。却怎敢劳动多大哥的大驾？”多隆笑道：“皇上本来也没派我，只派了十五名侍卫兄弟，是我自告奋勇。一来做哥哥的也真牵记着你；二来也好乘机出京来玩玩，这是托了你兄弟的洪福。”众人都笑了起来。多隆道：“这一下，我们几个算是立了大功，回京之后，皇上得知韦兄弟脱险，定是十分欢喜。我们一路上打听，韦兄弟的讯息没听到，却查到有一伙叛贼密谋造反，在河间府大举议事，我们就过来瞧瞧。”韦小宝道：“我也正为此事而来，听说这次他们聚会，叫作什么'杀龟大会'。”多隆大拇指一翘，说道：“厉害，厉害，什么事都逃不过韦兄弟的眼去。”韦小宝道：“你们探到了什么消息？”多隆道：“这里两个兄弟混入了大会之中，得知他们是要对付吴三桂，各省都推举了盟主。好几个盟主的名字也都查到了。” 韦小宝心念一动，问道：“是哪几个？”多隆道：“云南是沐剑声，福建是台逆郑经的次子，叫做郑克塽。”跟着又说了好几个盟主的名字。韦小宝道：“那沐剑声、郑克塽等人的相貌，可认得出么？”多隆道：“黑夜之中，这两个兄弟看不清楚，也不敢走近细看。” 韦小宝道：“多大哥，你回京之后，请你禀告皇上，便说奴才韦小宝也在查访这件事，一等有了眉目，就回京面奏。”多隆道：“是，是。韦兄弟如此忠心办事，这次立了大功，皇上必定又有封赏。”韦小宝道：“如有功劳，还不是咱们御前侍卫大伙儿的面子？眼前有一件事，要请各位辛苦一趟。”众侍卫都道：“韦副总管差遣，自当效劳。” 韦小宝道：“这件事说起来可气人得紧。我有个相好的姑娘，此刻正在跟一个浮滑小子勾勾搭搭……” 他刚说到这里，众侍卫已是气愤填膺，个个破口大骂：“他奶奶的，哪一个小子如此大胆，敢来动韦副总管的人？咱们立刻去把这小子杀了。” 韦小宝道：“杀倒不必。你们只须去打他一顿，给我出这一口恶气，不过这小子是我朋友，却也不可打得太过重了，尤其不可碰那位姑娘。”众侍卫笑道：“这个自然理会得，韦副总管的相好姑娘，谁敢得罪了？”韦小宝道：“这二人向西去了。你们一动手，我假装上来相救，将你们打跑。各位可得大大相让，使得兄弟在心上人面前出出风头。” 众侍卫齐声大笑，都道：“韦副总管分派的这桩差事，最有趣不过。” 多隆笑道：“大伙儿这就去干，喂，个个须得小心在意，要是露出了马脚，韦副总管可不拿你们当好兄弟啦。”众侍卫都笑道：“韦副总管的大事，大伙儿赴汤蹈火，岂敢退后？”一名侍卫道：“他妈的，这小子调戏韦副总管的相好，好比调戏我的亲娘，老子还不跟他拚命？”众人一齐大笑。韦小宝笑道：“轻声些，别让旁人听到了。”众侍卫磨拳擦掌，嘻嘻哈哈的一拥而出。
韦小宝提了蔬菜，交给厨房，赏了他五钱银子，吩咐整治精致素菜，这才慢慢的向西城行去。走出一里多地，只听叱喝叫骂之声大作，远远望见数十人手执兵刃，打得甚是热闹，心想：“这小子倒也了得，居然以寡敌众，抵挡得住。” 缓缓走近，不禁吃了一惊，只见众侍卫围住了七八人狠斗。对方背靠城墙，负隅而战，却是沐剑声、吴立身一干人。沐剑声身旁有个年轻姑娘，手握双刀，已打得头发散乱，城头上却有人携手观战，正是阿珂和郑克塽。韦小宝又是好气，又是好笑，心道：“他妈的，打错了人。定是他们先看到了沐公子，见他带着个姑娘，不分青红皂白，便即上前动手。”见多隆手握一柄鬼头刀，站在后面督战，当即走到他身边，低声道：“打错了，是城头上那两个。”说了
