Chapter 35 Chapter Thirty-fifth: Once along the East-West-South-North Roads alone, frost, rain and snow
After more than an hour, it was getting dark, and the soldiers came to report that several small boats took the prisoners and were coming to Tongchi Island.Wei Xiaobao was overjoyed, he jumped up and ran to the seashore, he saw five small boats approaching the island.Wei Xiaobao ordered his soldiers to shout, "Who did you get?"
A voice came from the boat: "This batch is all women, the men are behind."
Wei Xiaobao was overjoyed: "Shi Lang is indeed doing things well." He stared at him, hoping to see Fang Yi's beautiful figure.Of course, it would be best if the old bitch could be captured alive. It would be even more wonderful if we could get the charming Mrs. Hong and see her a few times a day on the boat.
After waiting for a long time, the five boats docked. The officers and soldiers of the Xiaoqi Battalion yelled loudly and escorted more than 200 women.Wei Xiaobao looked at them one by one, and saw that they were all young girls from the Chilongmen, everyone was downcast, some were in tattered clothes, some were wounded, until the end, Fang Yi was never seen, Wei Xiaobao was very disappointed, and asked: "What else is there?" Is there a woman?" One of the assistants said: "Report to Lord Dutong: There are still three teams searching the island, but there are too many poisonous snakes, so the search will be slower." Wei Xiaobao said: "The Shenlong Sect Has the leader of the sect been caught? How was this battle fought?"
Nazuo leader said: "I would like to report to Lord Dutong: early this morning, thirty warships approached the shore and fired their cannons together. Everyone obeyed your lord's order, fired three cannons, stopped once, and only hit the open space on the island." When someone on the island came out to resist the enemy, they fired them out with a platoon of cannons. Master Dutong knew things well, and he only bombed them three times with this method, and killed more than four or five hundred religious bandits. Later, there was a large group of teenagers who were not afraid of death. He charged forward, shouting something like 'Hunger Master Hong is victorious in all battles, and his life is longer than Nanshan'..." Wei Xiaobao shook his head and said, "It's wrong. Hong Jiaozhu will enjoy immortal blessings forever, and his life will be as long as the sky." Nazuo said: "Yes, yes .Master Du Tong has known about the bandits for a long time. No wonder the army is so powerful when they come out. What the bandits call is indeed 'Shou and Tian Qi', the humble official said it wrong."
Wei Xiaobao smiled and said: "What happened next?" Na Zuo led: "These young men are like madmen. They rushed to the seashore and boarded the small boat, intending to board our big boat to grab the cannon. We ignored it and waited for dozens of small boats to sail into the sea together. , Then the cannon was fired, bang bang bang bang, more than 30 small boats sank in the sea one by one, and more than 3,000 child bandits were buried in the sea. When these little bandits were dying, they were still yelling, The leader's life is as long as the sky."
Wei Xiaobao thought to himself: "You've come to lie about the military situation too. Shenlong's young disciples are only eight or nine hundred at most, how could there be more than three thousand? Fortunately, the more enemies you kill, the greater the credit. Even if you report him four thousand , Five thousand, what's the problem?"
Nazuo leader said: "After the boy taught the bandits to clear up, a large group of people rushed to the west of the island and boarded the boat to escape. Our warships followed the strategy of Master Dutong, and then chased after them. The humble officer led the team to the island to search, the man Women, a total of three to four hundred people have been arrested. Lord Shi ordered that these female religious bandits be sent to Tongchi Island first, so that Lord Dutong can interrogate them."
Wei Xiaobao nodded, although he won this battle, he was always very worried that he would not see Fang Yi, wondering if the bombardment would kill her, so he turned around and went to look at those women again.
Suddenly, when I saw a girl with a round face, I suddenly remembered that that day when the leader gathered the crowd, the girl once said that she was the illegitimate son of Fat Toutuo, pinched her cheek and kicked her butt. He kicked, and when he thought of this, his mischievous heart rose, he walked to her side, and stretched out his hand to squeeze her face hard.The girl screamed and scolded: "You son of a bitch, you...you..." Wei Xiaobao smiled and said: "Mom, don't you remember your son?" The girl was surprised, staring at him, vaguely feeling He has a kind face, but he can't think of this high-ranking official of the Qing army, who is the White Dragon Envoy of our sect.Wei Xiaobao asked: "What's your name?" The girl said: "Kill me quickly. I won't answer any questions you want to ask."
Wei Xiaobao said: "Okay, if you don't answer, come here!" Dozens of soldiers agreed together: "Cha!" Wei Xiaobao said: "Take this little girl down, strip her clothes and trousers clean, beat her Baiban ass." All the soldiers responded in unison again: "Zha!" They were about to drag up.
The girl turned pale with fright, and hurriedly said: "No, don't! I said." Wei Xiaobao waved his hand to stop the soldiers, and smiled, "Then what's your name?" The girl was terrified, and she shed tears Tears came and she said: "I...my name is Yun Sumei." Wei Xiaobao said: "You are from Chilongmen, aren't you?" Yun Sumei nodded and said in a low voice: "Yes." Wei Xiaobao said: "You In the Red Dragon Gate, there is a girl Fang Yifang who was later transferred to the White Dragon Gate, do you recognize her?" Yun Sumei said: "Yes. After she arrived at the White Dragon Gate, she has been promoted to be a team leader." Wei Xiaobao said: "Okay Ah, I've been promoted. Where is she?" Yun Sumei said: "This morning, when you...you fired the cannon, I saw Sister Fang, but...after the chaos, I didn't see her again. .”
Hearing that Fang Yi was still on the island today, Wei Xiaobao felt a little relieved, thinking that you kicked my ass that day, this kick, your illegitimate son will kick it back today, so he walked behind her and raised his foot , was about to kick her buttocks, when the guards outside the tent reported: "I report to Lord Dutong: Another batch of prisoners has been captured."
Wei Xiaobao was overjoyed, he stopped kicking and ran to the beach, only to see a small warship sailing towards him.Order the soldiers to call out: "Is the prisoner a woman or a man?"
At the beginning, they were still far away, and the other party could not hear them.After a while, the warship approached.An officer at the bow called out, "There are men and there are women."
After a while, Wei Xiaobao clearly saw three or four women standing on the bow of the boat, one of them was Fang Yi.He was overjoyed and went straight down to the beach, the sea was soaked up to his knees, he stared at it, the warship approached several zhang, and it turned out that the woman was Fang Yi.He was overjoyed at this moment, it was really a big deal, and he shouted: "Quick, quick, come here quickly."
Suddenly, the warship swayed a few times and even made a circle. Several sailors on the ship shouted: "Ah, it hit the shallows and ran aground."
Suddenly Fang Yi's voice was heard calling: "Xiaobao, Xiaobao, is that you?"
At this moment, Wei Xiaobao couldn't care less about his status as an adult, and shouted: "My good sister, it's me, and Xiaobao is here." Fang Yi shouted: "Xiaobao, come and save me quickly. They tied me up , Xiaobao, Xiaobao, come quickly!" Wei Xiaobao said: "Don't worry, I'll save you." He jumped into a small boat conveying military information, and told the sailors: "Row quickly, row over quickly."
The four sailors on the small boat raised their oars and started paddling.
Suddenly a person on the bank jumped into the small boat, it was Shuang'er, and said: "Master, I'll go with you and have a look." Wei Xiaobao was elated, and said: "Shuang'er, who do you know that person is?" Shuang'er smiled Said: "I know. You said it was your young mistress, and I called you 'young mistress' that day. But... but this young mistress refused to agree." Wei Xiaobao laughed: "She was shy at the time. This time you Call, she must agree."
The warship was still spinning slowly, and the small boat quickly approached.Fang Yi called out: "Xiao Bao, it really is you." The voice was full of joy.Wei Xiaobao shouted: "It's me." He shouted to the officer beside her: "Quickly untie this girl." The officer said: "Yes." He leaned over and untied Fang Yi's hands.Fang Yi opened her arms, waiting for Wei Xiaobao to pass.The two ships approached, and the officer on the warship said: "Your Excellency, be careful." Wei Xiaobao jumped up, and the officer stretched out his hand and pulled him.
As soon as Wei Xiaobao got on the bow of the boat, he threw himself into Fang Yi's arms and said, "Good sister, you miss me to death." The two hugged each other tightly.
Wei Xiaobao embraced Fang Yi's soft body, smelling the fragrant breath on her body, he no longer knew where he was.The last time he came to Shenlong Island with Fang Yi, he was in love at the time, and he didn't really understand the relationship between men and women. Later, on the road to Yunnan, he met Jianning Princess Hu Tian and Hu Di, and this time he hugged Fang Yi in his arms, and couldn't help but blush .
All of a sudden, the ship shook suddenly, Wei Xiaobao didn't have time to think about it, he just hugged Fang Yi and wanted to kiss her lips, but suddenly he felt the back of his neck tighten and was grabbed by someone.A charming and unusual voice said: "Bai Longshi, hello, this time you led people to break through Shenlong Island, the credit is really not small."
As soon as Wei Xiaobao heard Madam Hong's voice, he couldn't help but be out of his wits, knowing that something was wrong, he struggled hard, but Fang Yi hugged him and couldn't move, followed by a pain in his waist, his acupoints had already been tapped.
This accident happened suddenly, Wei Xiaobao was in a dream for a moment, and there was only one thought in his mind: "Oops, no, this little bitch Fang Yi lied to me again." He opened his mouth and shouted: "Who is here, come here, hurry Come and save me!" Fang Yi gently let go of him and stepped aside.Wei Xiaobao's acupoints were tapped, he couldn't stand upright, and sat down slumped.But seeing that the boat was setting sail and heading north, the small boat he was sitting in was already more than ten zhang away, and the officers and soldiers on the shore could be heard shouting and asking questions.
He secretly prayed: "Thank God, Shi Lang and Huang Zongbing quickly sent boats to intercept, but they must not fire." But the shouts of the officers and soldiers on Tongchi Island gradually faded away, and finally they could not be heard anymore.Looking around, the sea is vast, but there is not a single ship.Although there were many warships under his command, they were all sent out to attack Shenlong Island, and some were intercepted between Tongchi Island and Shenlong Island. Don't say that he didn't know that the commander had been captured at this time. Ten miles away, how can we catch up?
Sitting on the deck, he slowly raised his head, only to see several officers of the Xiaoqi Battalion sneering at him.He felt dizzy for a while, and when he collected himself, he saw clearly one by one, the ugly fat round face was Thin Toutuo, the thin and thin face was Lu Gaoxuan, and the extremely elongated horse face was Fat Toutuo .He was confused: "Short Donggua was tied behind the tent of the Chinese army, and must have been rescued by Lu Gaoxuan and Fat Toutuo, but these two people are obviously in Beijing, how did they get here?" Turning his head again, a beautiful With a pretty face, that is Mrs. Hong.
She looked at Wei Xiaobao with a smile, stretched out her hand to pinch his cheek, and said with a smile: "Master Dutong, you are so young, but you are very powerful."
Wei Xiaobao said: "The leader and his wife will enjoy immortal blessings forever, and live as long as heaven. This subordinate did not do things properly this time, so there is no credit for it."
Mrs. Hong smiled and said: "It's very appropriate, there is nothing wrong with it. The old master praised you greatly, saying that you led the Qing soldiers and bombarded Shenlong Island, and the trees and houses on the island were completely reduced to ashes. His old man You have always predicted things like a god, but this time you made a mistake, he admires you very much."
Wei Xiaobao has come to this point, knowing that his life is in the hands of others, begging is useless, there is only nonsense in front of him, and then adapting to the situation, he said with a smile: "Master, his old man is in good health, I really miss him very much. These days, my subordinates always think of Madam, every day I pray that you will become younger and more beautiful, so that when the leader and his old man are with you, you will enjoy immortal blessings forever!"
Mrs. Hong chuckled, and said: "You little monkey, you still don't know what to do at this time, and you are still talking to me. Do you think I am getting younger and more beautiful?" Wei Xiaobao sighed, and said: "Madam, It's hard for you to lie to me." Madam Hong smiled and asked: "What did I lie to you?" Wei Xiaobao said: "Just now the Qing soldiers captured a group of sisters from the island, all young girls from Chilongmen, and later they said A boat of sisters arrived. I stood by the sea and looked around. When I saw Mrs., I couldn’t recognize her for a while, and I just said in my heart: “Oh, when did such a young and beautiful girl come to Chilongmen? It’s the little sister of the leader’s wife.” Such a beauty, you have to hurry over and have a look.' Ma'am, I was so flustered that I rushed to board the boat to see this beautiful little girl, but I didn't know it was Madam yourself."
Madam Hong laughed when she heard this, her body trembled wildly.Even though she was wearing the uniform of an officer in the Xiaoqi Battalion, she still couldn't hide her graceful figure.
Thin Toutuo became impatient, and shouted: "You lecherous brat, you dare to talk such nonsense before Madam, look at me not to cram your tendons, but to peel your skin!"
Wei Xiaobao said: "You are a complete fool, and I don't want to talk nonsense with you."
Thin Toutuo said angrily: "Why am I so stupid? You are the only one who is so stupid. You can't see that I am floating in the sea pretending to be a floating corpse, but you actually rescued me and inquired about Shenlong Island. I follow the instructions of the leader and follow you It’s nonsense, but you believe it is true.”
Wei Xiaobao cursed inwardly: "Stupid, stupid! Wei Xiaobao, you bastard, you should be damned. How could you not have thought that Thin Toutuo's inner strength is so deep that it would be so easy to pretend to be a floating corpse? I actually believed his words so firmly that I thought that Shenlong Island If there is internal strife, I can no longer guard against it." Said: "I fell into the trap of the leader and his wife, it's not because I was confused."
Thin Toutuo said: "Hmph, you are not confused, are you still smart?"
Wei Xiaobao said: "Of course I'm very smart. But let me tell you, even the most intelligent person in the world, as long as he is under the leadership of the leader and his wife, he can't please anyone. The momentum is like a broken bamboo, you're done..." As soon as he said the words "you're done", he couldn't help but glanced at Mrs. Hong's little mouth that was as red as a cherry and trembling slightly.
Madam Hong smiled again, revealing a row of fine white teeth, and said: "Bai Longshi, you are much smarter than Thin Toutuo after all, he can't speak against you. How do you say he is confused?"
Wei Xiaobao said: "Madam, this Thin Toutuo has already seen a little girl like a fairy like Madam. In fact, no matter who sees Madam once, how can anyone go to see another woman? I said he is stupid, Because I know that he never forgets the second woman in his heart. Thin Toutuo, who is this woman, do you want me to tell you?"
Thin Toutuo roared loudly and shouted: "You can't say it!" Wei Xiaobao smiled and said: "If you don't say it, you don't say it. Your junior brother is much smarter than you. Ever since he met his wife, he said that from now on, he will never be interested again." Look at the second woman."
Fat Toutuo blushed, and said in a low voice: "Nonsense, how can this happen?" Wei Xiaobao wondered: "No? After you see your wife, do you want to see another woman?" Fat Toutuo lowered his head , said: "I am a monk, the six sense organs are pure, the four elements are all empty, and there is no such thing as a man and a woman in my heart." Wei Xiaobao said: "Tsk tsk tsk! The old monk recites scriptures, but he has no intentions. Your senior brother is just like you. He is also a Tutuo, so why do you think about him every day? Is your date good?" I couldn't help but think in my heart: "I clearly told him and Mr. Lu to stay in Beijing and wait for me, how could the two of them be together with Madam, it's really strange."
Fat Toutuo said: "Senior brother is senior brother, I am me, the two cannot be treated as the same."
Wei Xiaobao said: "I think the two of you are similar. Although your senior brother is a fool, he is more honest than you. But both of your senior brother have spoiled the important affairs of the leader and his wife, and the crime is heinous."
The fat and thin Ertutuo said in unison: "Nonsense! How did we ruin the important matter of the leader and his wife?"
Wei Xiaobao sneered and didn't answer.For a while, he couldn't say anything to slander the two, but first lay down a reason, wait until he understands how Fat Lu and the two came to Shenlong Island from Beijing, and then fabricate some words, so that Mrs. Hong suspicious.He turned his head and looked towards the sea, the sea was vast, but there was not a single ship chasing him, occasionally he heard a few distant gunshots, he thought it was Shi Lang and Huang Zongbing who were leading the warships to encircle the fleeing ships of the Dragon Sect.
Lu Gaoxuan saw his eyes flickering, and said: "Madam, this person is a major sinner of our sect, let's report to the sect master, throw him into the sea, and feed him to Hai Long." Wei Xiaobao was shocked, and thought: "My little white dragon is Xibei Good thing, if the fake white dragon enters the sea, it will be fatal." Mrs. Hong said: "The leader has something to ask him." Lu Gaoxuan replied: "Yes." Pushing Wei Xiaobao on the back, he said: "See the leader!"
Wei Xiaobao groaned secretly: "In front of Madam, you can talk sweet words and coax her to like it. It turns out that the leader is also in the boat. If Xiao Bailong doesn't enter the Dragon Palace today, it will really hurt heaven and reason." He turned his head and glanced at Fang Yi at her, only Seeing that her expression was dull, without any expression of joy or anger, she cursed in her heart: "Stinky bitch, little motherfucker!" Said: "Miss Fang, congratulations." Fang Yi said: "Congratulations to me?" Wei Xiaobao smiled and said: " You have made great contributions to the sect, why hasn't the sect master promoted you?" Fang Yi snorted and didn't answer.
Mrs. Hong said: "Everyone come in." Lu Gaoxuan grabbed Wei Xiaobao by the collar and lifted him into the cabin.
I saw Master Hong sitting in the cabin impressively.Wei Xiaobao was in mid-air, so he rushed to say: "The leader and his wife will enjoy immortal blessings forever, and their lifespan will be as long as heaven. The white dragon envoy under him will visit the leader and his wife." Lu Gaoxuan put him down, Fang Yi and others bowed together, and said: "The leader will enjoy immortal blessings forever, and his life will be as long as the heavens." Although they also wanted to please Mrs. Hong, this sentence has always been used to them. Add the word "He Madam". Seeing Hierarch Hong's eyes looking at the sea outside the cabin, Wei Xiaobao didn't seem to hear him, and saw four people standing beside him, they were Taoist Wugen from the red dragon, Yin Jin from the yellow dragon, Xu Xueting from the green dragon, and Zhang Danyue from the black dragon. With a thought in his mind, Wei Xiaobao turned his head and shouted to Thin Toutuo: "You bastard is making up rumors that the leader and his wife are in danger. I desperately rushed to rescue them, but who knows that the leader and his wife are fine, and the heads of the sect There's a rebellion there?" Master Hong said coldly: "What did you say?" Wei Xiaobao said: "Under the order of the Master and his wife, my subordinates sneaked into the palace and obtained two scriptures, and later went to the Mansion of Prince Pingxi in Wu Sangui, Yunnan Province, and obtained three more scriptures. Master Hong raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked: "You got five? Where are the scriptures?" Wei Xiaobao said: "The two books you got in the palace, the subordinates have already sent Lu Gaoxuan to present to the master and wife. I'll handle things in a safe manner and ask Lu Gaoxuan to give you the elixir." Leader Hong nodded.Wei Xiaobao said: "The three ministries obtained in Yunnan, the subordinates put them in a very safe place in Beijing, and ordered Fat Toutuo and Lu Gaoxuan to guard them..." Fat Toutuo and Lu Gaoxuan's expressions changed drastically immediately, and they hurriedly said, "No...no, how can this matter? Master, you old man, don't listen to this kid's nonsense." Wei Xiaobao said: "There are eight scriptures in total. This subordinate has obtained clues, and most of the other three can be obtained. I plan to present them to Shenlong Island together after I get them. I have already obtained those three scriptures, so my subordinates are afraid Someone stole it, so it was built in the wall. I told Lu Gaoxuan and Fat Toutuo to stay close at every step. Lu Gaoxuan and Fat Toutuo, I told you to guard the house and not go out. Why are you two here? What if you lost the precious scriptures? , Missing the important matter of the leader and his wife, who will take care of it?" Fat Lu and the two looked at each other, speechless.After a while, Lu Gaoxuan said: "You didn't say that there are precious scriptures in the wall, how do we know?" Wei Xiaobao said: "The more confidential the things ordered by the leader and madam, the better. If one more person knows, the risk of leakage will increase. To be honest, I don't trust you two very much. When I get up every morning, I must You must recite it aloud: 'The leader and his wife will enjoy immortal blessings forever, and their longevity will be equal to the heavens.' Every time you eat and sleep, you must recite it again. But after you two left Shenlong Island, you have never praised the leader for his supernatural powers. Bird raw fish soup." He didn't know that "Yao, Shun and Yu soup" was only used to praise the emperor, and when he said it, everyone didn't know what "bird raw fish soup" meant. Lu Gaoxuan and Fat Toutuo's faces turned green and white for a while, and they were secretly surprised. After leaving Shenlong Island, the two of them had indeed never read the words "The leader's immortal blessings will last forever, and his life will be as long as the sky", so he did not expect to be caught by this kid I got the handle, but when did this kid read it again?Lu Gaoxuan said: "You have committed a heinous crime yourself. At this time, you are talking sweetly, trying to please the leader and his wife, and spare your life. Hmph, our brothers and sisters on the island suffered heavy casualties this time. The foundation that the leader has worked hard for decades has been completely destroyed. In your hands, if you want to survive, you really can't even think about it." Wei Xiaobao said: "What you said is very wrong. We voted under the leader and wife, this life is not our own for a long time. Whatever the leader and wife send us to do, everyone should be loyal and die. No resignation. If the leader and his wife want us to die, everyone will die; if they want us to live, everyone will live. If you want to be your own master, that is not enough to give up your heart to the leader and his wife, and not to be loyal enough to serve the country.” Hearing what he said, Master Hong stretched out his hand to stroke his beard, nodded slowly, and said to Fat Lu and the two: "You said that the White Dragon Envoy commanding the navy will be harmful to our religion. What is going on?" Lu Gaoxuan was a little displeased with the words of the leader, and hurriedly said: "I want to report to the leader: I two were ordered to monitor the White Dragon Envoy, and pay attention to his every move, not daring to be negligent for a moment. Today the emperor promoted him to an official position. Admiral Shi Lang of the navy came to visit, and the two subordinates listened carefully to what they said, and informed the leader. After a few days, the White Dragon Envoy took Shi Lang on a business trip, but asked him to pretend to be a member of Xiaoqi Battalion Little official, you don't allow your subordinates to accompany Fat Toutuo, so your subordinates are extremely suspicious." Wei Xiaobao thought to himself: "Okay, so the leader sent you two to watch me." Then he heard Lu Gaoxuan report: "A few days earlier, my subordinates searched the wastebasket in the Bailong envoy's room and found Many scraps of paper, once pieced together, turned out to be place names in Liaodong written in Manchu and Chinese characters. The Bailong envoy was illiterate, and even more illiterate in Manchu. Naturally, these place names were written to him by the emperor. Later, he found out that he During this trip, I brought many cannons with me. The two subordinates discussed and thought that the White Dragon Envoy was ordered by the emperor to come to the Liaodong area. He had both navy generals and cannons. Naturally, he did not intend to benefit our religion. Therefore, as soon as the White Dragon Envoy left the capital, the two subordinates rode fast horses and rushed back to Shenlong Island day and night to report. Madam also said that the White Dragon Envoy is loyal and will never do this. Heart, this white dragon has a heart and a dog's lungs, and has failed the trust of the leader." Wei Xiaobao sighed, shook his head, and said: "Mr. Lu, you think you are smart and capable, but how can you catch up with the leader and wife? Let me tell you, you are wrong, only the leader and wife are always right. " Lu Gaoxuan said angrily: "You nonsense..." As soon as these two words came out, he immediately knew that something was wrong, although he stopped the following words immediately, but everyone knew that under the word "you nonsense", he must be talking to someone who "said" "Character. Wei Xiaobao said: "You call me nonsense? I say you are wrong, only the leader and wife are always right, you are not convinced? Could it be that the leader and wife are always wrong, only you, Mr. Lu, are always right?" Lu Gaoxuan blushed and said, "That's not what I meant. That's what you said, I never said it." Wei Xiaobao said: "The Master and Madam said that I, the White Dragon Envoy, is loyal and will never rebel. He two old men are good at predicting things, how can there be any mistakes? Let me tell you, the emperor sent me to bring the navy cannons and go to In Liaodong, they are talking about going to Changbai Mountain to worship the heavens, but in fact...it is...huh, what do you know?" Thoughts were running wild in my heart: "What should the emperor send me to do?" Master Hong said: "Tell me what the emperor sent you to do." Wei Xiaobao said: "This matter is extremely confidential, no matter what, I can't talk about it. If there is a leak, the emperor will definitely kill me. But since the leader asked, in the hearts of the subordinates, the leader and his wife are a hundred times higher than the emperor. He is long live, you are million years old. He is long live, you are million years old. The leader wants me to say, so naturally I can’t hide it." Thinking: "How to say it, so that the leader and his wife can be deceived?" Master Hong listened to Wei Xiaobao's flood of flattery, and he didn't think it too much at all. He smiled and nodded slowly, contentedly. Wei Xiaobao said: "Qi reported to the leader and his wife that there are two red-haired foreigners by the emperor's side. One of them is Tang Ruowang and the other is Nan Huairen, and they have been appointed as supervisors of the Qintian Supervisor." Hong leader said "I've heard the name of Tang Ruowang before. I heard that he knows astronomy, geography, and the yin and yang calendar." Wei Xiaobao praised: "Tsk, tsk, tsk! The leader can know the world's affairs without going out. This Tang Ruowang counts Counting back and forth, if there is a Raksha country in the north, it will be detrimental to the Qing Dynasty." Master Hong frowned, and asked, "Then what?" Wei Xiaobao once heard the bearded Mongolian Han Tiemo say that Wu Sangui colluded with the Raksha Kingdom and the Dragon Sect.Wu Sangui was far away in Yunnan, so he couldn't get involved, but the Raksha Kingdom was on the side of Liaodong. Sure enough, when the word "Raksha Kingdom" was mentioned, Master Hong immediately had a different expression.Wei Xiaobao knew that the topic was on the right track, he was overjoyed, and said: "When the little emperor heard it, he became narrow-minded and worried, so he asked Tang Ruowang for a plan and offered it quickly. Tang Ruowang said: "When I go back to watch at night Astronomy, daily calculation of yin and yang, careful calculation.' A few days later, he played to the emperor, the dragon vein of the Raksha Kingdom is in Liaodong, there is a mountain called what is the mother, and there is a river called what is the mother? .” Hong Antong has been in Liaodong for a long time, and he is very familiar with the local mountains and rivers. Hearing what Wei Xiaobao said, he smiled at Mrs. Hong: "Madam, isn't it ridiculous to hear what this child said? He called Humarwoji Mountain as a fucking Mountain, call the Amur River Grandmother's River again, haha, haha!" Madam Hong also giggled coquettishly. Wei Xiaobao said: "Yes, yes, the leader is omniscient, and his subordinates really admire him. The foreign red-haired ghost said it several times, but his subordinates couldn't remember it, so the little emperor used Manchu and Chinese characters." I wrote it down and handed it over to me. But my subordinates can’t read, so I can’t remember what kind of mountain this is, what kind of river is Grandma’s.” Master Hong laughed loudly, turned his head, and cast a sidelong glance at Lu Gaoxuan, his gaze was extremely severe. Lu Gaoxuan and Fat Toutuo couldn't help crying in their hearts. Wei Xiaobao said: "Then Tang Ruowang said that ten red-haired cannons must be built in a hurry, transported from the sea to Liaodong, aimed at these mountains and rivers for two hundred cannons, and destroyed the dragon veins of the Raksha Kingdom. In the year of the Qing Dynasty, there was no incident, and it was called one cannon to ensure a year of peace. The little emperor said: "Then bombarding a thousand cannons will keep a thousand years of peace?" Tang Ruowang said. What kind of secrets should not be leaked, zodiac and black ways, babbled for a long time, but the subordinates didn't understand half a sentence, and they were so angry and bored." Master Hong nodded and said, "This Tang Ruowang compiled a "Great Qing Dynasty Constitutional Calendar", which is indeed only two hundred years old. It seems that the luck of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is only two hundred years old at most." Wei Xiaobao has a knack for telling lies. He never tires of detailing all the details, and all of them are true and correct.Talking nonsense only when it matters is what he learned in the brothel.It just so happened that Hong Antong was very knowledgeable and knew the contents of Tang Ruowang's "Great Qing Dynasty Constitutional Calendar", Wei Xiaobao's lies were completely stitched together. Mrs. Hong said: "In this way, did the little emperor send you to open cannons in Liaodong?" Wei Xiaobao pretended to be surprised and said, "Eh, madam, how do you know?" Mrs. Hong laughed and said, "I see what you said. It's still not true. The little emperor sent you to Liaodong, why did you come to Shenlong Island again?" Wei Xiaobao said: "The foreigner said: The dragon vein of the Luocha people is a sea dragon, so these ten cannons have to be launched from the sea. When the dragon was transported, it aimed at the mouth of the dragon, calculated the time, and when it was about to fetch water from the sea, immediately bombarded it. The dragon was seriously injured and could not move. If it was fired from land, This dragon got a shot, and flew away immediately. One shot can only keep it safe for one year, and it will come again next year, which is really troublesome. He said, our cannons are transported by sea, and we have to Go around in circles so as not to disturb the dragon veins." According to geomantic omens, "dragon veins" are very important, but they only say that the terrain looks like a dragon, not that there is a real dragon. What kind of dragon veins will be disturbed and escape, it is Wei Xiaobao's nonsense.Hong Antong heard it in his ears, and couldn't help being a little skeptical. Wei Xiaobao judged by appearance, and knew that he didn't believe it, so he hurriedly said: "The foreign devil can speak Chinese, he drew several pictures for the little emperor to look at, and used a few rulers to measure them, here are the pictures Make a circle and draw a line there to explain why this dragon vein escaped. The subordinates are too stupid to understand at all, but the little emperor listened with great interest." Hong Antong nodded, thinking that foreigners must have another set of skills when looking at Fengshui, which is better than Chinese Fengshui. Wei Xiaobao saw that he approved of this festival, he felt relieved, and thought: "Once this test is passed, the snails in the future will be toot toot, and will not break!" He said: "That day the little emperor asked Qin Tianjian to choose a zodiac. On an auspicious day, the imperial decree sent me to Changbai Mountain to worship the heavens. There was an admiral of the Fujian navy, Shi Lang, who surrendered from Taiwan. He said that Zheng Chenggong had also suffered defeat under his command. This man was good at firing cannons on ships. Let’s go together. Be sure to strictly keep the secrets. If it leaks out, this big event will be ruined. Maybe the Rakshasa Congress will send a ship to stop it. We will go to Tianjin to go out to sea, go around in circles, and go quietly to Liaodong. Yesterday afternoon, I saw many floating corpses in the sea. Some of them were real and some were fake. Someone killed Qinglong envoy Xu Xueting." Thin Toutuo yelled: "Fake! I didn't say that the leader killed the Azure Dragon Envoy!" Mrs. Hong glared at him with wonderful eyes, and said, "Thin Toutuo, don't shout loudly in front of the leader." Thin Toutuo said: "yes." Wei Xiaobao said: "You said that the Azure Dragon Envoy was killed by someone, didn't you?" Thin Toutuo said: "Yes, the leader ordered me to lie to you like this." Wei Xiaobao said: "The leader asked you to play a joke on me, that's right Yes. But you said that the leader killed Qinglong envoys and red dragon envoys for revenge. The leader is selfless, benevolent and righteous, and will never hold grudges against his subordinates!" He said something, and Thin Toutuo called "Fake!" Wei Xiaobao said "You said that the leader killed the Qinglong envoy and the red dragon envoy for revenge!" Shoutuo said, "It's false, I didn't say that." Wei Xiaobao said: "The leader is selfless." Thin Toutuo said: "Fake!" Wei Xiaobao Said: "Benevolence and righteousness!" Thin Toutuo shouted: "Fake!" Wei Xiaobao said: "I will never hold grudges against my subordinates." Thin Toutuo said: "Fake!" Lu Gaoxuan knew that Thin Toutuo was irritable and honest, he had already stepped into Wei Xiaobao's trap, he kept yelling "fake", every time he yelled, the face of the leader became more ugly.Lu Gaoxuan was afraid that Thin Toutuo would continue to shout, and if the leader lost his temper, it would be uncontrollable, so he tugged on Thoututuo's sleeve, and said: "Listen to him to tell the leader, don't interrupt him." Thin Toutuo said: " This kid is full of nonsense, can he let him talk endlessly?" Lu Gaoxuan said: "The teacher is smart and wise, knows everything, knows everything. Don't worry, the teacher will naturally understand." Thin Toutuo said: "Hmph! I'm afraid it might not be..." With this exit, he suddenly opened his mouth wide, even more silently, with a look of panic on his face. Wei Xiaobao stared at him with both eyes, and suddenly made a grimace.Both of them were short in stature, Thin Toutuo was even shorter, Wei Xiaobao lowered his head to make a grimace, others couldn't see it, but Thin Toutuo could see it clearly, at that moment he was about to get angry, but he was afraid of angering the leader, so he could only restrain himself, with an embarrassed look on his face .For a while, there was silence in the cabin, except for Thin Toutuo panting. After a while, Master Hong asked Wei Xiaobao, "What did he say again?" Wei Xiaobao said: "Report to the leader: He also said that the leader is broadcasting gossip, instigating Chilongmen to attack Qinglongmen..." Thin Toutuo shouted, "I didn't say anything." Master Hong glared at him, and shouted, "Close your bird's beak, and if you scream again, I'll split your short winter melon into two fucking pieces." Thin Toutuo's face was purple and swollen, Lu Gaoxuan and Fat Toutuo were also shocked.Everyone knows that Hongjiao is very powerful, and usually hides his emotions and anger, and rarely speaks so rudely and loses his temper. He must be extremely angry when he scolds Thin Toutuo like this. Wei Xiaobao was overjoyed, thinking that since Thin Toutuo couldn't speak, no matter how nonsense he said, he would always find it difficult to refute, so he said: "Please calm down, Master. This Thin Toutuo didn't say anything insulting to the Master, but said that the Master is stingy. Go up The next time everyone failed to rebel, and a child under him broke a big event. Everyone was angry, but the leader wanted to take the opportunity to take revenge. He said that the leader sent a man named He Sheng to work. My disciples don't know if there is such a person in our sect." Mrs. Hong said: "He Sheng has some, so what?" Wei Xiaobao had a thought: "This He Sheng is a disciple of Taoist Wugen, he must be a young man." Said: "Shou Toutuo said, this He Sheng has seen Madam's beauty, how he has been with Madam these past few years, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, and what, what about this He Sheng has been with Madam for the past few years when he saw Madam's beauty. He said a lot of unpleasant words. The disciple was furious, annoyed that he was disrespectful to his wife behind his back, and ordered someone to slap him on the mouth. At that time, he was tied with a cowhide rope, and he couldn't resist. After more than a dozen beatings, he dared not speak gone." Mrs. Hong's face was livid with anger, and said bitterly: "Why did you drag me?" Thin Toutuo said: "I... I didn't say anything." Wei Xiaobao said: "The leader forbids you to speak, so you don't speak. I asked You, have you mentioned that there is a person named He Sheng? If yes, nod, if not, shake your head." Thin Toutuo nodded. 韦小宝道：“是啊，你说何盛跟许雪亭争风喝醋，争着要讨好夫人，于是这何盛就把许雪亭杀了，夫人很是喜欢，又说教主给蒙在鼓里，甚么也不知道。你说青龙使给何盛杀了，房里地下有一把刀，那把刀是何盛的，是不是？你说过没有？”瘦头陀点了点头，道：“不过前面……”韦小宝道：“你既已说过，也就是了。”其实瘦头陀说过的，只是后半截，前半截却是韦小宝加上去的。瘦头陀这一点头，倒似整篇话都是他说的了。 韦小宝道：“你说青龙门、赤龙门、黄龙门、黑龙门，还有我的白龙门，大家打得一塌胡涂，教主已然失了权柄，毫无办法镇压，是不是？”瘦头陀点点头。 韦小宝道：“你说神龙岛上众人造反，教主和夫人给捉了起来，夫人全身衣服给脱得精光，在岛上游行示众。教主的胡子给人拔光了，给倒吊着挂在树上，已有三天三夜没喝水，没吃饭。这些说话，你现今当然不肯认了，是不是？” 对这句问话，点头也不是，摇头也不是，瘦头陀满脸通红，皮肤中如要渗出血来。韦小宝道：“现下你当然要赖，不肯承认说过这些话，是不是？”瘦头陀怒道：“我没说过。”韦小宝道：“你说你跟教主动上了手，你踢了教主两脚，打了教主三下耳光，不过教主武功比你高，你打不过，于是给教主绑起来投入大海，是不是？你说本教已闹得天翻地覆，一塌胡涂。一大半人都已给教主绑了投入大海。余下的你杀我，我杀你。教主和夫人已经糟糕之极，就算眼下还没死，那也活不长久了，是不是？” 瘦头陀道：“我……我……我……”他给韦小宝弄得头晕脑胀，不知如何回答才是。他确是说过他打不过教主，给教主绑起来投入大海，也说过神龙岛上五龙门自相残杀，一塌胡涂，但跟韦小宝的话却又颇不相同。 韦小宝道：“启禀教主：属下本要率领水师船只，前赴辽东，去轰罗刹国的龙脉，不过船只驶到这里，属下记挂着教主和夫人，还有那个方姑娘，属下本想……本想娶她为妻的，也想瞧瞧她，最好能求得教主和夫人准我将她带了去。于是吩咐海船缓缓驶近，就算远远向岛上望上几眼，也是好的。要是能见到教主和夫人一眼……”洪夫人微笑道：“还有那个方姑娘。”韦小宝道：“是，这是属下存了自私之心，没有一心一意对教主和夫人尽忠，实在该死。”洪教主点了点头，道：“你再说下去。” 韦小宝道：“哪知道在海中救起了瘦头陀，不知他存了甚么心眼，竟满口咒诅教主和夫人。属下也是胡涂得紧，一听之下，登时慌了手脚，恨不得插翅飞上神龙岛来，站在教主和夫人身畔，和众叛徒一决死战。属下当时破口大骂，说道当日教主郑重吩咐过的，过去的事不能再算倒帐，连提也不能再提，怎可怀恨在心，又来反叛教主？属下只记挂着教主和夫人的危险，心想教主给叛徒倒吊了起来，夫人给他们脱光了衣衫，那是一刻也挨不得的。我真胡涂该死，全没想教主神通广大，若是有人犯上作乱，教主伸出几根手指，就把他们像蚂蚁一般捏死了，哪有会给叛徒欺辱之理？不过属下心中焦急，立即命所有战船一起出海，攻打神龙岛。我吩咐他们说：岛上的好人都已给坏人拿住了，如果有人出来抵抗，你们开炮轰击便是。一上了岸，快快查看，有没有一位威风凛凛、相貌堂堂、又像玉皇大帝、又像神仙菩萨的一位老人家，那就是神龙教洪教主，大家要听他指挥。属下又说，岛上所有女子，一概不可得罪，尤其那位如花似玉、相貌美丽、好像天仙下凡的年轻姑娘，那是洪夫人，大家更须恭恭敬敬。” 洪夫人格格一笑，说道：“照你说来，你派兵攻打神龙岛，倒全是对教主的一番忠心？你不但无过，反而有功？” 韦小宝道：“属下功劳是一点也没有的，只不过见到教主和夫人平平安安的，几个掌门使仍是忠心耿耿，好好的服侍教主和夫人，心中就高兴得很。属下第一盼望的，是教主和夫人仙福永享，寿与天齐。第二件事是要本教人人尽忠报国，教主说甚么，大家就去干甚么。第三件……第三件……”洪夫人笑道：“第三件是要方姑娘给你做老婆。” 韦小宝道：“这是一件小事，属下心中早就打定了主意，只要尽力办事，讨得教主和夫人的欢心，教主和夫人自然也不会亏待部下。” 洪安通点点头，说道：“你这张嘴确是能说会道，可是你说挂念我和夫人，为甚么自己却不带兵上神龙岛来？为甚么只派人开炮乱轰，自己却远远的躲在后面？” 这一句话却问中了要害，韦小宝张口结舌，一时无话回答，知道这句话只要答得不尽不实，洪教主一起疑心，先前的大篇谎话固然全部拆穿，连小命也必不保，情急之下，只得说道：“属下罪该万死，实在是对教主和夫人不够忠心。我听瘦头陀说起岛上众人如何凶狠，连教主和夫人也捉了，属下害怕得很。上次……上次他们背叛教主，都是属下坏了他们的大事，倘若给他们再拿到，非抽我的筋，剥我的皮不可。属下怕死，因此远远躲在后面，只是差了手下的兵将来救教主和夫人，这个……这个……实在是该死之至。” 洪教主和夫人对望了一眼，缓缓点头，均想这孩子自承怕死，可见说话非虚。洪教主道：“你这番话是真是假，我要慢慢查问。倘若得知你是说谎，哼哼，你自己明白。” 韦小宝道：“是！教主和夫人要如何处罚，属下心甘情愿，可是千万不能将属下交在胖头陀、瘦头陀、陆高轩他们手里。这一次……这一次他们安排巧计，骗得清兵炮轰神龙岛，害死了不少兄弟姊妹，定有重大阴谋。属下看来，这陆高轩定是想做陆教主。他在云南时说：我也不要甚么仙福永享，寿与天齐，只要享他五十年福，也就够得很了……” 陆高轩怒叫：“你，你……”挥掌便向韦小宝后心拍来。 无根道人抢上一步，伸掌拍出，砰的一声，陆高轩被震得退后两步。无根道人却只身子一晃，喝道：“陆高轩，你在教主座前，怎敢行凶伤人？”陆高轩脸色惨白，躬身道：“教主恕罪，属下听这小子捏造谎言，按捺不住，多有失礼。” 洪教主哼了一声，对韦小宝道：“你且下去。”对无根道人道：“你亲自看管他，不许旁人伤害，可也不能让他到处乱走。你别跟他说话。这小孩儿鬼计多端，须得加意留神。”无根道人躬身答应。
此后数日，韦小宝日夜都和无根道人住在一间舱房，眼见每天早晨太阳从右舷伸起，晚间在左舷落下，坐船迳向北行。起初一两天，他还盼望施琅和黄甫的水师能赶了上来，搭救自己，到得后来，也不存这指望了，心想：“我一番胡说八道，教主和夫人已信了九成，只不过我带兵把神龙岛轰得一塌胡涂，就算出于好心，总也不免有罪。幸亏那矮冬瓜扮了浮尸来骗我，是教主自己想出来的计策，否则他一怒之下，多半会将矮冬瓜和我两个一起杀了，煮他一锅小宝冬瓜汤。”又想：“这船向北驶去，难道是往辽东么？” 向无根道人问了几次，无根道人总是答道：“不知道。”韦小宝逗他说话，无根道人道：“教主吩咐，不可跟你说话。”又不许他走出舱房一步。 韦小宝好生无聊，又想：“方怡这死妞明明在这船里，却又不来陪伴老子散心解闷。”想起这次被神龙教擒获，又是为方怡所诱，心道：“老子这次若能脱险，以后再向方怡这小娘皮瞧上一眼，老子就不姓韦。上过两次当，怎么再上第三次当？”但想到方怡容颜娇艳，神态柔媚，心头不禁怦然而动，转念便想：“不姓韦就不姓韦，老子的爹爹是谁也不知道，又知道我姓甚么？” 战船不停北驶，天气越来越冷。无根道人内力深厚，倒不觉得怎样，韦小宝却冷得不住发抖，牙齿相击，格格作响。又行几日，北风怒号，天空阴沉沉地，忽然下起大雪来。 韦小宝叫道：“这一下可冻死我也。”心想：“索额图大哥送了我一件貂皮袍子，可惜留在大营，没带出来。唉，早知方怡这小娘皮要骗我上当，我就该着了貂皮袍子去抱她，也免得冻死在船中。冰冻白龙使，乖乖不得了。” 船行到半夜，忽听得叮咚声不绝，韦小宝仔细听去，才知是海中碎冰相撞，大吃一惊，叫道：“啊哟，不好！这只船要是冻在大海之中，岂不糟糕？”无根道人道：“大海里海水不会结冰，咱们这就要靠岸了。”韦小宝道：“到了辽东么？”无根道人哼了一声，不再答话。 次日清晨，推开船舱窗子向外张望，只见白茫茫地，满海都是浮冰，冰上积了白雪，远远已可望到陆地。这天晚上，战船驶到了岸边抛锚，看来第二日一早便要乘小艇登陆。 这一晚韦小宝思潮起伏，洪教主到底要如何处置自己，实在不易猜想，他似乎信了自己的说话，似乎又是不信，来到这冰天雪地，又不知甚么用意。想了一会，也就睡着了。 睡梦中忽见方怡坐在自己身边，他伸出手去，一把搂住，迷迷糊糊间只听得她说：“别胡闹！”韦小宝道：“死老婆，我偏要胡闹。”只觉方怡在怀中扭了几扭，他似睡似醒，听得怀中那人低声道：“相公，咱们快走！”似乎是双儿的声音。 韦小宝吃了一惊，登时清醒，觉得怀中确是抱着一个柔软的身子，黑暗之中，却瞧不见是谁，心想：“是方怡？是洪夫人？”这战船之上，便只两个女子，心想：“管他是方怡还是洪夫人，亲个嘴再说，先落得便宜！”将怀中人儿扳过身来，往她嘴上吻去。 那人轻轻一笑，转头避开。这一下笑声虽轻，却听得明明白白，正是双儿。 韦小宝又惊又喜，在她耳边低声问道：“双儿，你怎么来了？”双儿道：“咱们快走，慢慢再跟你说。”韦小宝笑道：“我冻得要死，你快钻进我被窝来，热呼热呼。”双儿道：“唉，好相公，你就是爱闹，也不想想这是甚么时候。” 韦小宝紧紧搂住了她，问道：“逃到哪里去？”双儿道：“咱们溜到船尾，划了小艇上岸，他们就算发觉了，也追不上。”韦小宝大喜，低声叫道：“妙计，妙计！啊哟，那个道士呢？”双儿道：“我偷偷摸进船舱，已点了他穴道。” 两人悄悄溜出船舱。一阵冷风扑面，韦小宝全身几要冻僵，忙转身入舱，剥下无根道人身上道袍，裹在自己身上。其时铅云满天，星月无光，大雪仍下个不止。两人溜到后梢，耳听得四下无声，船已下锚，连掌舵的舵手也都入舱睡了。 双儿拉着韦小宝的手，一步步走到船尾，低声道：“我先跳下去，你再下来！”提一口气，轻轻跃入系在船尾的小艇。韦小宝向下一望，黑沉沉地有些害怕，当即闭住眼睛，涌身跳下。双儿提起双掌，托住他背心后臀，在艇中转了个圈子，卸去了落下的力道，这才将他放下。 忽听得船舱中有人喝问：“甚么人？”正是洪教主的声音。韦小宝和双儿都大吃一惊，伏在艇底，不敢作声。忽听得嗒的一声，舱房窗子中透出了火光，双儿知道洪教主已听见声息，点火来查，忙提起艇中木桨，入水扳动。只扳得两下，洪教主已在大声呼喝：“是谁？不许动！”跟着小艇一晃，却不前进，原来心慌意乱之下，竟忘了解开系艇的绳索。 韦小宝急忙伸手去解，触手冰冷，却是一条铁链系着小艇，只听大船中好几人都叫了起来：“白龙使不见了！”“这小子逃走了！”“逃到哪里去了？快追，快追！”韦小宝从靴筒中拔出匕首，用力挥去，刷的一声，斩断铁链，小艇登时冲了出去。 这一声响过，洪教主、洪夫人、胖瘦二头陀、陆高轩等先后奔向船尾。冰雪光芒反映之下，见到小艇离大船已有数丈。 洪教主一伸手，在船边上抓下一块木头，使劲向小艇掷去。他内力虽强，但木头终究太轻，飞到离小艇两尺之处，拍的一声，掉入了海中。初时陆高轩、胖头陀等不知教主用意，不敢擅发暗器，只怕伤了白龙使，反而受责，待见教主随手抓下船舷上的木块掷击，才明白他心思，身边带有暗器的便即取出发射。只是这么缓得片刻，小艇又向前划了两丈，寻常细小暗器都难以及远，遍生弓箭、钢镖、飞蝗石等物又不就手，众人发出的袖箭、毒针等物，纷纷都跌入了海中。 瘦头陀说道：“这小子狡猾得紧，我早知他不是好人，早就该一刀杀了。留着他自找麻烦。”洪教主本已怒极，瘦头陀这几句风凉话，显是讥刺自己见事不明，左手伸出，抓住他后颈，叫道：“快去给我捉他回来。”左手一举，将瘦头陀提在空中，右手抓住了他后臀，喝道：“快去！”双臂一缩，全身内力都运到了臂上，往前送出。 瘦头陀一个肉球般的身子飞了出去，直向小艇冲来。 双儿拚力划桨。韦小宝大叫：“啊哟，不好！人肉炮弹打来了！”叫声未毕，扑通一声，瘦头陀已掉入海中。 他落海之处与小艇只相差数尺，瘦头陀一涌身，左手已抓住了艇边。双儿举起木桨，用力击下，正中他脑袋。瘦头陀忍痛，哼了一声，右手又已抓住艇边。双儿大急，用力再击了下去，拍的一声大响，木桨断为两截，小艇登时在海中打横。瘦头陀头脑一阵昏晕，摇了摇头。韦小宝匕首划出，瘦头陀右手四根手指齐断，剧痛之下，再也支持不住，右手松开，身子在海中一探一沉，大叫大骂。 双儿拿起剩下的一柄桨，用力扳动，小艇又向岸边驶去。驶得一会，离大船已远，眼见是追不上了。大船上只有一艘小艇，洪教主等人武功再高，在这寒冷彻骨的天时，却也不敢跳入水中游水追来，何况人在水中游泳，再快也追不上船艇。 韦小宝拿起艇底一块木板帮着划水，隐隐听得大船上众人怒声叫骂，又过一会，北风终于掩没了众人的声息。韦小宝吁了口气，说道：“谢天谢地，终于逃出来了。” 两人划了小半个时辰，这才靠岸。
双儿跳入水中，海水只浸到膝盖，拉住艇头的半截铁链，将小艇扯到岸旁，说道：“行了！”韦小宝涌身一跳，便上了岸，叫道：“大功告成！”双儿嘻嘻一笑，退开几步，笑道：“相公，你别胡闹。咱们可得快走，别让洪教主他们追了上来。” 韦小宝吃了一惊，皱起眉头，问道：“这是甚么鬼地方？”四下张望，但见白雪皑皑的平原无边无际，黑夜之中，也瞧不见别的东西。 双儿道：“真不知这是甚么地方，相公。你说咱们逃去哪里才好？”韦小宝冷得只索索发抖，脑子似乎也冻僵了，竟想不出半条计策，骂道：“他奶奶的，都是方怡这死小娘皮不好，害得我们冻死在这雪地里。”双儿道：“咱们走罢，走动一会，身子便暖和些。” 两人携着手，便向雪地中走去。雪已积了一尺来厚，一步踏下去，整条小腿都淹没了，拔脚跨步，甚是艰难。 韦小宝走得虽然辛苦，但想洪教主神通广大，定有法子追上岸来。这雪地中脚印如此之深，又逃得到哪里去？就算逃出了几天，多半还是会给追到，因此上片刻也不敢停留，不住赶路，随即问起双儿怎么会在船里。 原来那日韦小宝一见到方怡，便失魂落魄的赶过去叙话，双儿跟随在艇中。待得他失手遭擒，人人都注目于他，双儿十分机警，立即在后梢躲了起来。这艘战船是洪教主等从清兵手里夺过来的，舵师水手都是清兵，她穿的本是骁骑营官兵服色，混在官兵之中，谁也没发觉。直到战船驶到岸边，她才半夜里出来相救。 韦小宝大赞她聪明机灵，说道：“方怡这死妞老是骗我、害我，双儿这乖宝贝总是救我的命。我不要她做老婆了，要你做老婆。”双儿忙放开了手，躲开几步，说道：“我是你的小丫头，自然一心一意服侍你。”韦小宝道：“我有了你这个小丫头，定是前世敲穿了四七二十八个大木鱼，翻烂了三七二十一部四十二章经，今生才有这样好福气。”双儿格格娇笑，说道：“相公总是有话说的。” 走到天明，离海边已远，回头一望，雪地里两排清清楚楚的脚印，远远伸展出去。再向前望，平原似乎无穷无尽。洪教主等人虽没追来，看来也不过是迟早之间而已。 韦小宝心中发愁，说道：“咱们就算再走十天十晚，还是会给他们追上了。”双儿指着右侧，说道：“那边好像有些树林，咱们走进了林中，洪教主他们就不易找了。”韦小宝道：“如果是树林就好了，不过看起来不大像。” 两人对准了那一团高起的雪丘，奋力快步走去，走了一个时辰，已经看得清楚，只不过是大平原上高起的一座小丘，并非树林。韦小宝道：“到了小丘之后瞧瞧，或许有地方可以躲藏。”他走到这时，已气喘吁吁，十分吃力。 又走了半个时辰，来到小丘之后，只见仍是白茫茫的一片，就如是白雪铺成的大海，更无可以躲藏之处。韦小宝又疲又饿，在雪地上躺倒，说道：“好双儿，你如不给我抱抱，亲个嘴儿，我再也没力气走路了。”双儿红了脸，欲待答应，又觉此事十分不妥，正迟疑间，忽听得身后忽喇一响。 两人回过头来，见七八只大鹿从小丘后面转将出来。韦小宝喜道：“肚子饿死啦！你有没法子捉只鹿来，杀了烤鹿肉吃？”双儿道：“我试试看。”突然飞身扑出，向几头大鹿冲去。那知梅花鹿四腿极长，奔跃如飞，一转身便奔出了数十丈，再也追赶不上。双儿摇了摇头，说道：“追不上的。” 这些梅花鹿却并不畏人，见双儿止步，又回过头来。韦小宝道：“咱们躺在地下装死，瞧鹿儿过不过来。”双儿笑道：“好，我就试试看。”说着便横身躺在雪地里。韦小宝道：“我已经死了，我的老婆好双儿也已经死了。我们两个都已经埋在坟里，再也动不了啦。我跟好双儿生了八个儿子，九个女儿。他们都在坟前大哭，大叫我的爹啊，我的妈啊……”双儿噗哧一笑，一张小脸羞得飞红，说道：“谁跟你生这么多儿子女儿！”韦小宝道：“好！八个儿子、九个女儿太多，那么各生三个罢！”双儿笑道：“不……” 几头梅花鹿慢慢走到两人身边，似乎十分好奇。动物之中，鹿的智慧甚低，远不及犬马狐狸，因此成语中有“蠢如鹿豕”的话。几头梅花鹿低下头来，到韦小宝和双儿的脸上擦擦嗅嗅，叫了几声。韦小宝叫道：“翻身上马，
I saw Master Hong sitting in the cabin impressively.Wei Xiaobao was in mid-air, so he rushed to say: "The leader and his wife will enjoy immortal blessings forever, and their lifespan will be as long as heaven. The white dragon envoy under him will visit the leader and his wife." Lu Gaoxuan put him down, Fang Yi and others bowed together, and said: "The leader will enjoy immortal blessings forever, and his life will be as long as the heavens." Although they also wanted to please Mrs. Hong, this sentence has always been used to them. Add the word "He Madam". Seeing Hierarch Hong's eyes looking at the sea outside the cabin, Wei Xiaobao didn't seem to hear him, and saw four people standing beside him, they were Taoist Wugen from the red dragon, Yin Jin from the yellow dragon, Xu Xueting from the green dragon, and Zhang Danyue from the black dragon. With a thought in his mind, Wei Xiaobao turned his head and shouted to Thin Toutuo: "You bastard is making up rumors that the leader and his wife are in danger. I desperately rushed to rescue them, but who knows that the leader and his wife are fine, and the heads of the sect There's a rebellion there?" Master Hong said coldly: "What did you say?" Wei Xiaobao said: "Under the order of the Master and his wife, my subordinates sneaked into the palace and obtained two scriptures, and later went to the Mansion of Prince Pingxi in Wu Sangui, Yunnan Province, and obtained three more scriptures. Master Hong raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked: "You got five? Where are the scriptures?" Wei Xiaobao said: "The two books you got in the palace, the subordinates have already sent Lu Gaoxuan to present to the master and wife. I'll handle things in a safe manner and ask Lu Gaoxuan to give you the elixir." Leader Hong nodded.Wei Xiaobao said: "The three ministries obtained in Yunnan, the subordinates put them in a very safe place in Beijing, and ordered Fat Toutuo and Lu Gaoxuan to guard them..." Fat Toutuo and Lu Gaoxuan's expressions changed drastically immediately, and they hurriedly said, "No...no, how can this matter? Master, you old man, don't listen to this kid's nonsense." Wei Xiaobao said: "There are eight scriptures in total. This subordinate has obtained clues, and most of the other three can be obtained. I plan to present them to Shenlong Island together after I get them. I have already obtained those three scriptures, so my subordinates are afraid Someone stole it, so it was built in the wall. I told Lu Gaoxuan and Fat Toutuo to stay close at every step. Lu Gaoxuan and Fat Toutuo, I told you to guard the house and not go out. Why are you two here? What if you lost the precious scriptures? , Missing the important matter of the leader and his wife, who will take care of it?" Fat Lu and the two looked at each other, speechless.After a while, Lu Gaoxuan said: "You didn't say that there are precious scriptures in the wall, how do we know?" Wei Xiaobao said: "The more confidential the things ordered by the leader and madam, the better. If one more person knows, the risk of leakage will increase. To be honest, I don't trust you two very much. When I get up every morning, I must You must recite it aloud: 'The leader and his wife will enjoy immortal blessings forever, and their longevity will be equal to the heavens.' Every time you eat and sleep, you must recite it again. But after you two left Shenlong Island, you have never praised the leader for his supernatural powers. Bird raw fish soup." He didn't know that "Yao, Shun and Yu soup" was only used to praise the emperor, and when he said it, everyone didn't know what "bird raw fish soup" meant. Lu Gaoxuan and Fat Toutuo's faces turned green and white for a while, and they were secretly surprised. After leaving Shenlong Island, the two of them had indeed never read the words "The leader's immortal blessings will last forever, and his life will be as long as the sky", so he did not expect to be caught by this kid I got the handle, but when did this kid read it again?Lu Gaoxuan said: "You have committed a heinous crime yourself. At this time, you are talking sweetly, trying to please the leader and his wife, and spare your life. Hmph, our brothers and sisters on the island suffered heavy casualties this time. The foundation that the leader has worked hard for decades has been completely destroyed. In your hands, if you want to survive, you really can't even think about it." Wei Xiaobao said: "What you said is very wrong. We voted under the leader and wife, this life is not our own for a long time. Whatever the leader and wife send us to do, everyone should be loyal and die. No resignation. If the leader and his wife want us to die, everyone will die; if they want us to live, everyone will live. If you want to be your own master, that is not enough to give up your heart to the leader and his wife, and not to be loyal enough to serve the country.” Hearing what he said, Master Hong stretched out his hand to stroke his beard, nodded slowly, and said to Fat Lu and the two: "You said that the White Dragon Envoy commanding the navy will be harmful to our religion. What is going on?" Lu Gaoxuan was a little displeased with the words of the leader, and hurriedly said: "I want to report to the leader: I two were ordered to monitor the White Dragon Envoy, and pay attention to his every move, not daring to be negligent for a moment. Today the emperor promoted him to an official position. Admiral Shi Lang of the navy came to visit, and the two subordinates listened carefully to what they said, and informed the leader. After a few days, the White Dragon Envoy took Shi Lang on a business trip, but asked him to pretend to be a member of Xiaoqi Battalion Little official, you don't allow your subordinates to accompany Fat Toutuo, so your subordinates are extremely suspicious." Wei Xiaobao thought to himself: "Okay, so the leader sent you two to watch me." Then he heard Lu Gaoxuan report: "A few days earlier, my subordinates searched the wastebasket in the Bailong envoy's room and found Many scraps of paper, once pieced together, turned out to be place names in Liaodong written in Manchu and Chinese characters. The Bailong envoy was illiterate, and even more illiterate in Manchu. Naturally, these place names were written to him by the emperor. Later, he found out that he During this trip, I brought many cannons with me. The two subordinates discussed and thought that the White Dragon Envoy was ordered by the emperor to come to the Liaodong area. He had both navy generals and cannons. Naturally, he did not intend to benefit our religion. Therefore, as soon as the White Dragon Envoy left the capital, the two subordinates rode fast horses and rushed back to Shenlong Island day and night to report. Madam also said that the White Dragon Envoy is loyal and will never do this. Heart, this white dragon has a heart and a dog's lungs, and has failed the trust of the leader." Wei Xiaobao sighed, shook his head, and said: "Mr. Lu, you think you are smart and capable, but how can you catch up with the leader and wife? Let me tell you, you are wrong, only the leader and wife are always right. " Lu Gaoxuan said angrily: "You nonsense..." As soon as these two words came out, he immediately knew that something was wrong, although he stopped the following words immediately, but everyone knew that under the word "you nonsense", he must be talking to someone who "said" "Character. Wei Xiaobao said: "You call me nonsense? I say you are wrong, only the leader and wife are always right, you are not convinced? Could it be that the leader and wife are always wrong, only you, Mr. Lu, are always right?" Lu Gaoxuan blushed and said, "That's not what I meant. That's what you said, I never said it." Wei Xiaobao said: "The Master and Madam said that I, the White Dragon Envoy, is loyal and will never rebel. He two old men are good at predicting things, how can there be any mistakes? Let me tell you, the emperor sent me to bring the navy cannons and go to In Liaodong, they are talking about going to Changbai Mountain to worship the heavens, but in fact...it is...huh, what do you know?" Thoughts were running wild in my heart: "What should the emperor send me to do?" Master Hong said: "Tell me what the emperor sent you to do." Wei Xiaobao said: "This matter is extremely confidential, no matter what, I can't talk about it. If there is a leak, the emperor will definitely kill me. But since the leader asked, in the hearts of the subordinates, the leader and his wife are a hundred times higher than the emperor. He is long live, you are million years old. He is long live, you are million years old. The leader wants me to say, so naturally I can’t hide it." Thinking: "How to say it, so that the leader and his wife can be deceived?" Master Hong listened to Wei Xiaobao's flood of flattery, and he didn't think it too much at all. He smiled and nodded slowly, contentedly. Wei Xiaobao said: "Qi reported to the leader and his wife that there are two red-haired foreigners by the emperor's side. One of them is Tang Ruowang and the other is Nan Huairen, and they have been appointed as supervisors of the Qintian Supervisor." Hong leader said "I've heard the name of Tang Ruowang before. I heard that he knows astronomy, geography, and the yin and yang calendar." Wei Xiaobao praised: "Tsk, tsk, tsk! The leader can know the world's affairs without going out. This Tang Ruowang counts Counting back and forth, if there is a Raksha country in the north, it will be detrimental to the Qing Dynasty." Master Hong frowned, and asked, "Then what?" Wei Xiaobao once heard the bearded Mongolian Han Tiemo say that Wu Sangui colluded with the Raksha Kingdom and the Dragon Sect.Wu Sangui was far away in Yunnan, so he couldn't get involved, but the Raksha Kingdom was on the side of Liaodong. Sure enough, when the word "Raksha Kingdom" was mentioned, Master Hong immediately had a different expression.Wei Xiaobao knew that the topic was on the right track, he was overjoyed, and said: "When the little emperor heard it, he became narrow-minded and worried, so he asked Tang Ruowang for a plan and offered it quickly. Tang Ruowang said: "When I go back to watch at night Astronomy, daily calculation of yin and yang, careful calculation.' A few days later, he played to the emperor, the dragon vein of the Raksha Kingdom is in Liaodong, there is a mountain called what is the mother, and there is a river called what is the mother? .” Hong Antong has been in Liaodong for a long time, and he is very familiar with the local mountains and rivers. Hearing what Wei Xiaobao said, he smiled at Mrs. Hong: "Madam, isn't it ridiculous to hear what this child said? He called Humarwoji Mountain as a fucking Mountain, call the Amur River Grandmother's River again, haha, haha!" Madam Hong also giggled coquettishly. Wei Xiaobao said: "Yes, yes, the leader is omniscient, and his subordinates really admire him. The foreign red-haired ghost said it several times, but his subordinates couldn't remember it, so the little emperor used Manchu and Chinese characters." I wrote it down and handed it over to me. But my subordinates can’t read, so I can’t remember what kind of mountain this is, what kind of river is Grandma’s.” Master Hong laughed loudly, turned his head, and cast a sidelong glance at Lu Gaoxuan, his gaze was extremely severe. Lu Gaoxuan and Fat Toutuo couldn't help crying in their hearts. Wei Xiaobao said: "Then Tang Ruowang said that ten red-haired cannons must be built in a hurry, transported from the sea to Liaodong, aimed at these mountains and rivers for two hundred cannons, and destroyed the dragon veins of the Raksha Kingdom. In the year of the Qing Dynasty, there was no incident, and it was called one cannon to ensure a year of peace. The little emperor said: "Then bombarding a thousand cannons will keep a thousand years of peace?" Tang Ruowang said. What kind of secrets should not be leaked, zodiac and black ways, babbled for a long time, but the subordinates didn't understand half a sentence, and they were so angry and bored." Master Hong nodded and said, "This Tang Ruowang compiled a "Great Qing Dynasty Constitutional Calendar", which is indeed only two hundred years old. It seems that the luck of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is only two hundred years old at most." Wei Xiaobao has a knack for telling lies. He never tires of detailing all the details, and all of them are true and correct.Talking nonsense only when it matters is what he learned in the brothel.It just so happened that Hong Antong was very knowledgeable and knew the contents of Tang Ruowang's "Great Qing Dynasty Constitutional Calendar", Wei Xiaobao's lies were completely stitched together. Mrs. Hong said: "In this way, did the little emperor send you to open cannons in Liaodong?" Wei Xiaobao pretended to be surprised and said, "Eh, madam, how do you know?" Mrs. Hong laughed and said, "I see what you said. It's still not true. The little emperor sent you to Liaodong, why did you come to Shenlong Island again?" Wei Xiaobao said: "The foreigner said: The dragon vein of the Luocha people is a sea dragon, so these ten cannons have to be launched from the sea. When the dragon was transported, it aimed at the mouth of the dragon, calculated the time, and when it was about to fetch water from the sea, immediately bombarded it. The dragon was seriously injured and could not move. If it was fired from land, This dragon got a shot, and flew away immediately. One shot can only keep it safe for one year, and it will come again next year, which is really troublesome. He said, our cannons are transported by sea, and we have to Go around in circles so as not to disturb the dragon veins." According to geomantic omens, "dragon veins" are very important, but they only say that the terrain looks like a dragon, not that there is a real dragon. What kind of dragon veins will be disturbed and escape, it is Wei Xiaobao's nonsense.Hong Antong heard it in his ears, and couldn't help being a little skeptical. Wei Xiaobao judged by appearance, and knew that he didn't believe it, so he hurriedly said: "The foreign devil can speak Chinese, he drew several pictures for the little emperor to look at, and used a few rulers to measure them, here are the pictures Make a circle and draw a line there to explain why this dragon vein escaped. The subordinates are too stupid to understand at all, but the little emperor listened with great interest." Hong Antong nodded, thinking that foreigners must have another set of skills when looking at Fengshui, which is better than Chinese Fengshui. Wei Xiaobao saw that he approved of this festival, he felt relieved, and thought: "Once this test is passed, the snails in the future will be toot toot, and will not break!" He said: "That day the little emperor asked Qin Tianjian to choose a zodiac. On an auspicious day, the imperial decree sent me to Changbai Mountain to worship the heavens. There was an admiral of the Fujian navy, Shi Lang, who surrendered from Taiwan. He said that Zheng Chenggong had also suffered defeat under his command. This man was good at firing cannons on ships. Let’s go together. Be sure to strictly keep the secrets. If it leaks out, this big event will be ruined. Maybe the Rakshasa Congress will send a ship to stop it. We will go to Tianjin to go out to sea, go around in circles, and go quietly to Liaodong. Yesterday afternoon, I saw many floating corpses in the sea. Some of them were real and some were fake. Someone killed Qinglong envoy Xu Xueting." Thin Toutuo yelled: "Fake! I didn't say that the leader killed the Azure Dragon Envoy!" Mrs. Hong glared at him with wonderful eyes, and said, "Thin Toutuo, don't shout loudly in front of the leader." Thin Toutuo said: "yes." Wei Xiaobao said: "You said that the Azure Dragon Envoy was killed by someone, didn't you?" Thin Toutuo said: "Yes, the leader ordered me to lie to you like this." Wei Xiaobao said: "The leader asked you to play a joke on me, that's right Yes. But you said that the leader killed Qinglong envoys and red dragon envoys for revenge. The leader is selfless, benevolent and righteous, and will never hold grudges against his subordinates!" He said something, and Thin Toutuo called "Fake!" Wei Xiaobao said "You said that the leader killed the Qinglong envoy and the red dragon envoy for revenge!" Shoutuo said, "It's false, I didn't say that." Wei Xiaobao said: "The leader is selfless." Thin Toutuo said: "Fake!" Wei Xiaobao Said: "Benevolence and righteousness!" Thin Toutuo shouted: "Fake!" Wei Xiaobao said: "I will never hold grudges against my subordinates." Thin Toutuo said: "Fake!" Lu Gaoxuan knew that Thin Toutuo was irritable and honest, he had already stepped into Wei Xiaobao's trap, he kept yelling "fake", every time he yelled, the face of the leader became more ugly.Lu Gaoxuan was afraid that Thin Toutuo would continue to shout, and if the leader lost his temper, it would be uncontrollable, so he tugged on Thoututuo's sleeve, and said: "Listen to him to tell the leader, don't interrupt him." Thin Toutuo said: " This kid is full of nonsense, can he let him talk endlessly?" Lu Gaoxuan said: "The teacher is smart and wise, knows everything, knows everything. Don't worry, the teacher will naturally understand." Thin Toutuo said: "Hmph! I'm afraid it might not be..." With this exit, he suddenly opened his mouth wide, even more silently, with a look of panic on his face. Wei Xiaobao stared at him with both eyes, and suddenly made a grimace.Both of them were short in stature, Thin Toutuo was even shorter, Wei Xiaobao lowered his head to make a grimace, others couldn't see it, but Thin Toutuo could see it clearly, at that moment he was about to get angry, but he was afraid of angering the leader, so he could only restrain himself, with an embarrassed look on his face .For a while, there was silence in the cabin, except for Thin Toutuo panting. After a while, Master Hong asked Wei Xiaobao, "What did he say again?" Wei Xiaobao said: "Report to the leader: He also said that the leader is broadcasting gossip, instigating Chilongmen to attack Qinglongmen..." Thin Toutuo shouted, "I didn't say anything." Master Hong glared at him, and shouted, "Close your bird's beak, and if you scream again, I'll split your short winter melon into two fucking pieces." Thin Toutuo's face was purple and swollen, Lu Gaoxuan and Fat Toutuo were also shocked.Everyone knows that Hongjiao is very powerful, and usually hides his emotions and anger, and rarely speaks so rudely and loses his temper. He must be extremely angry when he scolds Thin Toutuo like this. Wei Xiaobao was overjoyed, thinking that since Thin Toutuo couldn't speak, no matter how nonsense he said, he would always find it difficult to refute, so he said: "Please calm down, Master. This Thin Toutuo didn't say anything insulting to the Master, but said that the Master is stingy. Go up The next time everyone failed to rebel, and a child under him broke a big event. Everyone was angry, but the leader wanted to take the opportunity to take revenge. He said that the leader sent a man named He Sheng to work. My disciples don't know if there is such a person in our sect." Mrs. Hong said: "He Sheng has some, so what?" Wei Xiaobao had a thought: "This He Sheng is a disciple of Taoist Wugen, he must be a young man." Said: "Shou Toutuo said, this He Sheng has seen Madam's beauty, how he has been with Madam these past few years, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, and what, what about this He Sheng has been with Madam for the past few years when he saw Madam's beauty. He said a lot of unpleasant words. The disciple was furious, annoyed that he was disrespectful to his wife behind his back, and ordered someone to slap him on the mouth. At that time, he was tied with a cowhide rope, and he couldn't resist. After more than a dozen beatings, he dared not speak gone." Mrs. Hong's face was livid with anger, and said bitterly: "Why did you drag me?" Thin Toutuo said: "I... I didn't say anything." Wei Xiaobao said: "The leader forbids you to speak, so you don't speak. I asked You, have you mentioned that there is a person named He Sheng? If yes, nod, if not, shake your head." Thin Toutuo nodded. 韦小宝道：“是啊，你说何盛跟许雪亭争风喝醋，争着要讨好夫人，于是这何盛就把许雪亭杀了，夫人很是喜欢，又说教主给蒙在鼓里，甚么也不知道。你说青龙使给何盛杀了，房里地下有一把刀，那把刀是何盛的，是不是？你说过没有？”瘦头陀点了点头，道：“不过前面……”韦小宝道：“你既已说过，也就是了。”其实瘦头陀说过的，只是后半截，前半截却是韦小宝加上去的。瘦头陀这一点头，倒似整篇话都是他说的了。 韦小宝道：“你说青龙门、赤龙门、黄龙门、黑龙门，还有我的白龙门，大家打得一塌胡涂，教主已然失了权柄，毫无办法镇压，是不是？”瘦头陀点点头。 韦小宝道：“你说神龙岛上众人造反，教主和夫人给捉了起来，夫人全身衣服给脱得精光，在岛上游行示众。教主的胡子给人拔光了，给倒吊着挂在树上，已有三天三夜没喝水，没吃饭。这些说话，你现今当然不肯认了，是不是？” 对这句问话，点头也不是，摇头也不是，瘦头陀满脸通红，皮肤中如要渗出血来。韦小宝道：“现下你当然要赖，不肯承认说过这些话，是不是？”瘦头陀怒道：“我没说过。”韦小宝道：“你说你跟教主动上了手，你踢了教主两脚，打了教主三下耳光，不过教主武功比你高，你打不过，于是给教主绑起来投入大海，是不是？你说本教已闹得天翻地覆，一塌胡涂。一大半人都已给教主绑了投入大海。余下的你杀我，我杀你。教主和夫人已经糟糕之极，就算眼下还没死，那也活不长久了，是不是？” 瘦头陀道：“我……我……我……”他给韦小宝弄得头晕脑胀，不知如何回答才是。他确是说过他打不过教主，给教主绑起来投入大海，也说过神龙岛上五龙门自相残杀，一塌胡涂，但跟韦小宝的话却又颇不相同。 韦小宝道：“启禀教主：属下本要率领水师船只，前赴辽东，去轰罗刹国的龙脉，不过船只驶到这里，属下记挂着教主和夫人，还有那个方姑娘，属下本想……本想娶她为妻的，也想瞧瞧她，最好能求得教主和夫人准我将她带了去。于是吩咐海船缓缓驶近，就算远远向岛上望上几眼，也是好的。要是能见到教主和夫人一眼……”洪夫人微笑道：“还有那个方姑娘。”韦小宝道：“是，这是属下存了自私之心，没有一心一意对教主和夫人尽忠，实在该死。”洪教主点了点头，道：“你再说下去。” 韦小宝道：“哪知道在海中救起了瘦头陀，不知他存了甚么心眼，竟满口咒诅教主和夫人。属下也是胡涂得紧，一听之下，登时慌了手脚，恨不得插翅飞上神龙岛来，站在教主和夫人身畔，和众叛徒一决死战。属下当时破口大骂，说道当日教主郑重吩咐过的，过去的事不能再算倒帐，连提也不能再提，怎可怀恨在心，又来反叛教主？属下只记挂着教主和夫人的危险，心想教主给叛徒倒吊了起来，夫人给他们脱光了衣衫，那是一刻也挨不得的。我真胡涂该死，全没想教主神通广大，若是有人犯上作乱，教主伸出几根手指，就把他们像蚂蚁一般捏死了，哪有会给叛徒欺辱之理？不过属下心中焦急，立即命所有战船一起出海，攻打神龙岛。我吩咐他们说：岛上的好人都已给坏人拿住了，如果有人出来抵抗，你们开炮轰击便是。一上了岸，快快查看，有没有一位威风凛凛、相貌堂堂、又像玉皇大帝、又像神仙菩萨的一位老人家，那就是神龙教洪教主，大家要听他指挥。属下又说，岛上所有女子，一概不可得罪，尤其那位如花似玉、相貌美丽、好像天仙下凡的年轻姑娘，那是洪夫人，大家更须恭恭敬敬。” 洪夫人格格一笑，说道：“照你说来，你派兵攻打神龙岛，倒全是对教主的一番忠心？你不但无过，反而有功？” 韦小宝道：“属下功劳是一点也没有的，只不过见到教主和夫人平平安安的，几个掌门使仍是忠心耿耿，好好的服侍教主和夫人，心中就高兴得很。属下第一盼望的，是教主和夫人仙福永享，寿与天齐。第二件事是要本教人人尽忠报国，教主说甚么，大家就去干甚么。第三件……第三件……”洪夫人笑道：“第三件是要方姑娘给你做老婆。” 韦小宝道：“这是一件小事，属下心中早就打定了主意，只要尽力办事，讨得教主和夫人的欢心，教主和夫人自然也不会亏待部下。” 洪安通点点头，说道：“你这张嘴确是能说会道，可是你说挂念我和夫人，为甚么自己却不带兵上神龙岛来？为甚么只派人开炮乱轰，自己却远远的躲在后面？” 这一句话却问中了要害，韦小宝张口结舌，一时无话回答，知道这句话只要答得不尽不实，洪教主一起疑心，先前的大篇谎话固然全部拆穿，连小命也必不保，情急之下，只得说道：“属下罪该万死，实在是对教主和夫人不够忠心。我听瘦头陀说起岛上众人如何凶狠，连教主和夫人也捉了，属下害怕得很。上次……上次他们背叛教主，都是属下坏了他们的大事，倘若给他们再拿到，非抽我的筋，剥我的皮不可。属下怕死，因此远远躲在后面，只是差了手下的兵将来救教主和夫人，这个……这个……实在是该死之至。” 洪教主和夫人对望了一眼，缓缓点头，均想这孩子自承怕死，可见说话非虚。洪教主道：“你这番话是真是假，我要慢慢查问。倘若得知你是说谎，哼哼，你自己明白。” 韦小宝道：“是！教主和夫人要如何处罚，属下心甘情愿，可是千万不能将属下交在胖头陀、瘦头陀、陆高轩他们手里。这一次……这一次他们安排巧计，骗得清兵炮轰神龙岛，害死了不少兄弟姊妹，定有重大阴谋。属下看来，这陆高轩定是想做陆教主。他在云南时说：我也不要甚么仙福永享，寿与天齐，只要享他五十年福，也就够得很了……” 陆高轩怒叫：“你，你……”挥掌便向韦小宝后心拍来。 无根道人抢上一步，伸掌拍出，砰的一声，陆高轩被震得退后两步。无根道人却只身子一晃，喝道：“陆高轩，你在教主座前，怎敢行凶伤人？”陆高轩脸色惨白，躬身道：“教主恕罪，属下听这小子捏造谎言，按捺不住，多有失礼。” 洪教主哼了一声，对韦小宝道：“你且下去。”对无根道人道：“你亲自看管他，不许旁人伤害，可也不能让他到处乱走。你别跟他说话。这小孩儿鬼计多端，须得加意留神。”无根道人躬身答应。
此后数日，韦小宝日夜都和无根道人住在一间舱房，眼见每天早晨太阳从右舷伸起，晚间在左舷落下，坐船迳向北行。起初一两天，他还盼望施琅和黄甫的水师能赶了上来，搭救自己，到得后来，也不存这指望了，心想：“我一番胡说八道，教主和夫人已信了九成，只不过我带兵把神龙岛轰得一塌胡涂，就算出于好心，总也不免有罪。幸亏那矮冬瓜扮了浮尸来骗我，是教主自己想出来的计策，否则他一怒之下，多半会将矮冬瓜和我两个一起杀了，煮他一锅小宝冬瓜汤。”又想：“这船向北驶去，难道是往辽东么？” 向无根道人问了几次，无根道人总是答道：“不知道。”韦小宝逗他说话，无根道人道：“教主吩咐，不可跟你说话。”又不许他走出舱房一步。 韦小宝好生无聊，又想：“方怡这死妞明明在这船里，却又不来陪伴老子散心解闷。”想起这次被神龙教擒获，又是为方怡所诱，心道：“老子这次若能脱险，以后再向方怡这小娘皮瞧上一眼，老子就不姓韦。上过两次当，怎么再上第三次当？”但想到方怡容颜娇艳，神态柔媚，心头不禁怦然而动，转念便想：“不姓韦就不姓韦，老子的爹爹是谁也不知道，又知道我姓甚么？” 战船不停北驶，天气越来越冷。无根道人内力深厚，倒不觉得怎样，韦小宝却冷得不住发抖，牙齿相击，格格作响。又行几日，北风怒号，天空阴沉沉地，忽然下起大雪来。 韦小宝叫道：“这一下可冻死我也。”心想：“索额图大哥送了我一件貂皮袍子，可惜留在大营，没带出来。唉，早知方怡这小娘皮要骗我上当，我就该着了貂皮袍子去抱她，也免得冻死在船中。冰冻白龙使，乖乖不得了。” 船行到半夜，忽听得叮咚声不绝，韦小宝仔细听去，才知是海中碎冰相撞，大吃一惊，叫道：“啊哟，不好！这只船要是冻在大海之中，岂不糟糕？”无根道人道：“大海里海水不会结冰，咱们这就要靠岸了。”韦小宝道：“到了辽东么？”无根道人哼了一声，不再答话。 次日清晨，推开船舱窗子向外张望，只见白茫茫地，满海都是浮冰，冰上积了白雪，远远已可望到陆地。这天晚上，战船驶到了岸边抛锚，看来第二日一早便要乘小艇登陆。 这一晚韦小宝思潮起伏，洪教主到底要如何处置自己，实在不易猜想，他似乎信了自己的说话，似乎又是不信，来到这冰天雪地，又不知甚么用意。想了一会，也就睡着了。 睡梦中忽见方怡坐在自己身边，他伸出手去，一把搂住，迷迷糊糊间只听得她说：“别胡闹！”韦小宝道：“死老婆，我偏要胡闹。”只觉方怡在怀中扭了几扭，他似睡似醒，听得怀中那人低声道：“相公，咱们快走！”似乎是双儿的声音。 韦小宝吃了一惊，登时清醒，觉得怀中确是抱着一个柔软的身子，黑暗之中，却瞧不见是谁，心想：“是方怡？是洪夫人？”这战船之上，便只两个女子，心想：“管他是方怡还是洪夫人，亲个嘴再说，先落得便宜！”将怀中人儿扳过身来，往她嘴上吻去。 那人轻轻一笑，转头避开。这一下笑声虽轻，却听得明明白白，正是双儿。 韦小宝又惊又喜，在她耳边低声问道：“双儿，你怎么来了？”双儿道：“咱们快走，慢慢再跟你说。”韦小宝笑道：“我冻得要死，你快钻进我被窝来，热呼热呼。”双儿道：“唉，好相公，你就是爱闹，也不想想这是甚么时候。” 韦小宝紧紧搂住了她，问道：“逃到哪里去？”双儿道：“咱们溜到船尾，划了小艇上岸，他们就算发觉了，也追不上。”韦小宝大喜，低声叫道：“妙计，妙计！啊哟，那个道士呢？”双儿道：“我偷偷摸进船舱，已点了他穴道。” 两人悄悄溜出船舱。一阵冷风扑面，韦小宝全身几要冻僵，忙转身入舱，剥下无根道人身上道袍，裹在自己身上。其时铅云满天，星月无光，大雪仍下个不止。两人溜到后梢，耳听得四下无声，船已下锚，连掌舵的舵手也都入舱睡了。 双儿拉着韦小宝的手，一步步走到船尾，低声道：“我先跳下去，你再下来！”提一口气，轻轻跃入系在船尾的小艇。韦小宝向下一望，黑沉沉地有些害怕，当即闭住眼睛，涌身跳下。双儿提起双掌，托住他背心后臀，在艇中转了个圈子，卸去了落下的力道，这才将他放下。 忽听得船舱中有人喝问：“甚么人？”正是洪教主的声音。韦小宝和双儿都大吃一惊，伏在艇底，不敢作声。忽听得嗒的一声，舱房窗子中透出了火光，双儿知道洪教主已听见声息，点火来查，忙提起艇中木桨，入水扳动。只扳得两下，洪教主已在大声呼喝：“是谁？不许动！”跟着小艇一晃，却不前进，原来心慌意乱之下，竟忘了解开系艇的绳索。 韦小宝急忙伸手去解，触手冰冷，却是一条铁链系着小艇，只听大船中好几人都叫了起来：“白龙使不见了！”“这小子逃走了！”“逃到哪里去了？快追，快追！”韦小宝从靴筒中拔出匕首，用力挥去，刷的一声，斩断铁链，小艇登时冲了出去。 这一声响过，洪教主、洪夫人、胖瘦二头陀、陆高轩等先后奔向船尾。冰雪光芒反映之下，见到小艇离大船已有数丈。 洪教主一伸手，在船边上抓下一块木头，使劲向小艇掷去。他内力虽强，但木头终究太轻，飞到离小艇两尺之处，拍的一声，掉入了海中。初时陆高轩、胖头陀等不知教主用意，不敢擅发暗器，只怕伤了白龙使，反而受责，待见教主随手抓下船舷上的木块掷击，才明白他心思，身边带有暗器的便即取出发射。只是这么缓得片刻，小艇又向前划了两丈，寻常细小暗器都难以及远，遍生弓箭、钢镖、飞蝗石等物又不就手，众人发出的袖箭、毒针等物，纷纷都跌入了海中。 瘦头陀说道：“这小子狡猾得紧，我早知他不是好人，早就该一刀杀了。留着他自找麻烦。”洪教主本已怒极，瘦头陀这几句风凉话，显是讥刺自己见事不明，左手伸出，抓住他后颈，叫道：“快去给我捉他回来。”左手一举，将瘦头陀提在空中，右手抓住了他后臀，喝道：“快去！”双臂一缩，全身内力都运到了臂上，往前送出。 瘦头陀一个肉球般的身子飞了出去，直向小艇冲来。 双儿拚力划桨。韦小宝大叫：“啊哟，不好！人肉炮弹打来了！”叫声未毕，扑通一声，瘦头陀已掉入海中。 他落海之处与小艇只相差数尺，瘦头陀一涌身，左手已抓住了艇边。双儿举起木桨，用力击下，正中他脑袋。瘦头陀忍痛，哼了一声，右手又已抓住艇边。双儿大急，用力再击了下去，拍的一声大响，木桨断为两截，小艇登时在海中打横。瘦头陀头脑一阵昏晕，摇了摇头。韦小宝匕首划出，瘦头陀右手四根手指齐断，剧痛之下，再也支持不住，右手松开，身子在海中一探一沉，大叫大骂。 双儿拿起剩下的一柄桨，用力扳动，小艇又向岸边驶去。驶得一会，离大船已远，眼见是追不上了。大船上只有一艘小艇，洪教主等人武功再高，在这寒冷彻骨的天时，却也不敢跳入水中游水追来，何况人在水中游泳，再快也追不上船艇。 韦小宝拿起艇底一块木板帮着划水，隐隐听得大船上众人怒声叫骂，又过一会，北风终于掩没了众人的声息。韦小宝吁了口气，说道：“谢天谢地，终于逃出来了。” 两人划了小半个时辰，这才靠岸。
双儿跳入水中，海水只浸到膝盖，拉住艇头的半截铁链，将小艇扯到岸旁，说道：“行了！”韦小宝涌身一跳，便上了岸，叫道：“大功告成！”双儿嘻嘻一笑，退开几步，笑道：“相公，你别胡闹。咱们可得快走，别让洪教主他们追了上来。” 韦小宝吃了一惊，皱起眉头，问道：“这是甚么鬼地方？”四下张望，但见白雪皑皑的平原无边无际，黑夜之中，也瞧不见别的东西。 双儿道：“真不知这是甚么地方，相公。你说咱们逃去哪里才好？”韦小宝冷得只索索发抖，脑子似乎也冻僵了，竟想不出半条计策，骂道：“他奶奶的，都是方怡这死小娘皮不好，害得我们冻死在这雪地里。”双儿道：“咱们走罢，走动一会，身子便暖和些。” 两人携着手，便向雪地中走去。雪已积了一尺来厚，一步踏下去，整条小腿都淹没了，拔脚跨步，甚是艰难。 韦小宝走得虽然辛苦，但想洪教主神通广大，定有法子追上岸来。这雪地中脚印如此之深，又逃得到哪里去？就算逃出了几天，多半还是会给追到，因此上片刻也不敢停留，不住赶路，随即问起双儿怎么会在船里。 原来那日韦小宝一见到方怡，便失魂落魄的赶过去叙话，双儿跟随在艇中。待得他失手遭擒，人人都注目于他，双儿十分机警，立即在后梢躲了起来。这艘战船是洪教主等从清兵手里夺过来的，舵师水手都是清兵，她穿的本是骁骑营官兵服色，混在官兵之中，谁也没发觉。直到战船驶到岸边，她才半夜里出来相救。 韦小宝大赞她聪明机灵，说道：“方怡这死妞老是骗我、害我，双儿这乖宝贝总是救我的命。我不要她做老婆了，要你做老婆。”双儿忙放开了手，躲开几步，说道：“我是你的小丫头，自然一心一意服侍你。”韦小宝道：“我有了你这个小丫头，定是前世敲穿了四七二十八个大木鱼，翻烂了三七二十一部四十二章经，今生才有这样好福气。”双儿格格娇笑，说道：“相公总是有话说的。” 走到天明，离海边已远，回头一望，雪地里两排清清楚楚的脚印，远远伸展出去。再向前望，平原似乎无穷无尽。洪教主等人虽没追来，看来也不过是迟早之间而已。 韦小宝心中发愁，说道：“咱们就算再走十天十晚，还是会给他们追上了。”双儿指着右侧，说道：“那边好像有些树林，咱们走进了林中，洪教主他们就不易找了。”韦小宝道：“如果是树林就好了，不过看起来不大像。” 两人对准了那一团高起的雪丘，奋力快步走去，走了一个时辰，已经看得清楚，只不过是大平原上高起的一座小丘，并非树林。韦小宝道：“到了小丘之后瞧瞧，或许有地方可以躲藏。”他走到这时，已气喘吁吁，十分吃力。 又走了半个时辰，来到小丘之后，只见仍是白茫茫的一片，就如是白雪铺成的大海，更无可以躲藏之处。韦小宝又疲又饿，在雪地上躺倒，说道：“好双儿，你如不给我抱抱，亲个嘴儿，我再也没力气走路了。”双儿红了脸，欲待答应，又觉此事十分不妥，正迟疑间，忽听得身后忽喇一响。 两人回过头来，见七八只大鹿从小丘后面转将出来。韦小宝喜道：“肚子饿死啦！你有没法子捉只鹿来，杀了烤鹿肉吃？”双儿道：“我试试看。”突然飞身扑出，向几头大鹿冲去。那知梅花鹿四腿极长，奔跃如飞，一转身便奔出了数十丈，再也追赶不上。双儿摇了摇头，说道：“追不上的。” 这些梅花鹿却并不畏人，见双儿止步，又回过头来。韦小宝道：“咱们躺在地下装死，瞧鹿儿过不过来。”双儿笑道：“好，我就试试看。”说着便横身躺在雪地里。韦小宝道：“我已经死了，我的老婆好双儿也已经死了。我们两个都已经埋在坟里，再也动不了啦。我跟好双儿生了八个儿子，九个女儿。他们都在坟前大哭，大叫我的爹啊，我的妈啊……”双儿噗哧一笑，一张小脸羞得飞红，说道：“谁跟你生这么多儿子女儿！”韦小宝道：“好！八个儿子、九个女儿太多，那么各生三个罢！”双儿笑道：“不……” 几头梅花鹿慢慢走到两人身边，似乎十分好奇。动物之中，鹿的智慧甚低，远不及犬马狐狸，因此成语中有“蠢如鹿豕”的话。几头梅花鹿低下头来，到韦小宝和双儿的脸上擦擦嗅嗅，叫了几声。韦小宝叫道：“翻身上马，
