Chapter 22 Chapter 22

This night, she didn't go out, she didn't even leave the room, because she was in conflict and pain all night, her heart was almost torn in two. "Go, he will wait for you, and he will forgive you everything!" "Why go, what do you want him to forgive, you suffered so much for him, but he asked about others when he saw you for the first time." It was daylight again. After two nights of sleepless nights, she looked like a drunk who had just woken up after drinking. Her whole body was so tired and weak. She lay down on the bed, and she didn't even want to move her fingertips.

During lunch, she was a little drowsy, and suddenly heard a gentle voice asking her: "Qi'er, you are sick." Opening her eyes, she saw two tall and thin figures standing side by side in front of her bed. She couldn't help crying, and finally, two crystal clear teardrops slipped down from her eyes. Leng Kumu frowned slightly. Although he didn't understand the girl's mood, he also knew that she was not really sick, it was just a "heart disease". He glanced sideways at Leng Hanzhu, and both of them knew why she was crying. These two people have been ruthless all their lives, and neither of them knows how to say a word of comfort to a sad girl.

Tan Wenqi closed her eyelids quietly, she wanted to hide all the tears in her eyes, but the tears slipped out disobediently. She could only sigh sadly, and said in a low voice: "I'm not sick, Uncle Leng, Uncle Leng, I..." Before she finished speaking, her waist suddenly went numb, and the sweet sleepiness immediately spread from this numb place to her whole body. she fell asleep. The dead wood Hanzhu standing in front of her bed also sighed in unison, quietly closed the door, and walked out, but they didn't even lift their eyelids to the "Baguazhang" Liu Hui who was walking towards them with a smile. Half a minute later, he walked into his room, and closed the door with a "bang", and Liu Hui was still standing outside the door with a dry smile on his face.

It's just that although he was not angry in his heart, he was helpless, looked at the closed door and cursed secretly, walked away resentfully, Fang Zi walked to the shop door, suddenly several horses galloped towards him, the knight on the horse , jumped off the horse like a chicken, Liu Hui took a closer look, and couldn't help saying: "It turns out that the 'Five Heroes of the East' are here. Why didn't I notify the younger brothers first, so that the younger brothers can greet them as soon as possible." He rushed to the door, bowed to the ground, and said again and again: "I didn't greet you far away, forgive me. Forgive me."

While speaking, all the knights on the horse jumped off, and they turned out to be five young men with kite shoulders and waists, handsome faces, all wearing light purple shirts. Some of the masters of martial arts who rested in this inn last night were standing idly in the front yard, now seeing Liu Hui, the famous head of the "Flying Dragon Escort Bureau" "Baguazhang" Liu Hui, he was so respectful to these five young men, he couldn't help but Surprised, they rushed to the door together, took a closer look, no matter whether they knew it or not, seeing the style of the five young men's attire, they suddenly realized in their hearts:

"So it's the Five Heroes of the East from Huqiu Feiling Castle!" After arranging their clothes, the five young men rushed to Liu Hui, shook hands and exchanged greetings. They looked like lightning, and between glances, they greeted the acquaintance behind Liu Hui with smiles. The martial arts hero who was greeted by five people immediately had a smug smile on his face, as if he felt that he was very honored to be able to greet them. "Quick Horse Sword" Gong Qingyang heard the commotion in the courtyard, and quickly stepped out to meet him, exclaiming with great joy:

"I didn't expect, I didn't expect that the five Dongfang brothers came together." He rushed to one of the tall and handsome young men, and said with great joy: "What is especially unexpected is that Brother Tie, who is thousands of miles away, also came back to Jiangnan today. As soon as I entered Jiangnan, I thought of Huqiu to visit the brothers, but I was afraid that all the brothers were not at home, and I didn't dare to disturb the old man. , so—haha, but I never expected to see you here today.” There were five young people at the door of the store, all of them had smiles on their faces. At this moment, when they glanced at Gong Qingyang's severed hand, they couldn't help saying:

"Brother Gong, what's the matter?" Gong Qingyang sighed and said: "It's a long story, I feel ashamed, alas—I'll tell you brothers later." His eyes turned, and he smiled again: "Brothers are here because of the 'Langmang Villa' Is it the meeting of the lords in China?" The young man in Chinese clothes who stood in the lead, who was called "Brother Iron" by Gong Qingyang, said with a smile: "Exactly, the five of my brothers rarely go home. This time it happened to be during the Duanyang Festival when my brothers went home to visit their relatives. I heard rumors on the Jiangnan Road that the grand event of the 'God Hand' Zhan Fei, my brother I couldn't help but want to go sightseeing, my family Yan didn't allow it at first, but later I heard that my elder brother came back from Xihe, and he mentioned that he had seen the "Dragon Shaped Eight Palms" in Jinan Mansion. It seems that he also passed by Jiangnan. That's why my father ordered my brother to come here, to greet Uncle Tan by the way, and to greet my brother when he came again, saying that since Uncle Tan visited the humble house last time, Jia Yan has been unwell, so he can't go to the capital I'll pay my respects, please don't be offended by Mr. Tan."

When this young man spoke, not only his voice was clear and bright, but he was not in a hurry, and his tone was calm. It was obvious at a glance that he was a chivalrous man from a family. He turned his eyes and smiled to himself again: "When my brother arrived at Jingkou, I didn't know that the brothers stopped here, but I didn't know that Uncle Tan was here?" Gong Qingyang wondered: "The Chief Escort is here too? Even my younger brother doesn't know about it!" An old man, a young man, and two martial arts masters stood far outside the gate of the west chamber. Hearing their words, the boy couldn't help asking:

"Master, who are these five people? Why do you even have to visit his house with the 'Dragon Shaped Eight Palms'?" The old man smiled slightly and said: "These five brothers were all born to the same mother. They lived in Feiling Castle, Huqiu, south of the Yangtze River. They are famous and shake the world. If you think about it again, did your teacher tell you?" The young man pondered for a while, then suddenly said: "Could it be that these five people are the five sons of Dongfang Qi, Dongfang Tie, Jian, Zhen, Jiang and Hu, who used an iron sword and three sword galls to shock the demons in the past?"

The old man said with a smile: "That's right, the one who talked to the 'Kuaima Shendao' just now is the eldest son of Dongfang, Dongfang Tie who studied under Kunlun's sect; the one standing on his right side, who is shorter and has a face like the full moon, is worshiping him. Dongfang Jian, the second son of Emei's "Master Shuangxue"; standing on his left side, the tall, phoenix-eyed and long-browed man is the third son Dongfang Zhen. The only lay disciple of the current head master." He took a breath and continued: "The one standing side by side behind them, with the same face and figure, is a pair of twin brothers who worshiped under the Wudang sect together. They are Dongfang Jiang and Dongfang Lake, the youngest of the five brothers." He sighed admiringly, And said: "These five brothers came from a family of martial arts, and their family background is indeed extremely prominent, and their master's school was even more famous at that time, but they are all so humble and polite in their behavior. They are really outstanding people, really outstanding people—Wan'er, you can learn from them in the future ,That's good!" The young man raised his sword eyebrows, as if he wanted to say something, then suddenly stopped, and said again: "Their father is a generation of heroes, but why don't they learn martial arts under their father's school? Could it be that he—do they look down on their father?" The old man smiled and said: "It's because the 'Iron Sword' Dongfang old knight, because he was afraid that he would not be strict in discipline and was unwilling to teach them martial arts, so he asked them to worship under other people's sect. However, the Dongfang old knight himself also accepted a disciple, that is Lei Zhen, the 'Iron Faced Zhuan Zhu' you met in Shandong last year." Amidst the gossip between the master and the apprentice, the "Five Dongfang Brothers" had been ushered into the main hall, and the "Fast Horse Sword" Gong Qingyang immediately set up a welcome banquet. The elder brother Dongfang Tie thanked him modestly and said: "My brother couldn't help but want to come to 'Langmang Mountain Villa' this time, mainly to see what kind of character that 'Chief Executive' is." He stopped speaking, and two big men in black clothes with blades strode into the courtyard, raised his hands, and held up a gold and red post in his hand, and said loudly: "The owner of our villa specially ordered the younger ones to come to greet the heroes of the 'Five Heroes of the East', and send a letter of worship, respectfully inviting the 'Five Heroes of the East' to visit our village at noon the next day!" Dongfang Zhen smiled coldly and said: "The movement of God of War's hand is very fast!" "Haha, it's not that the old man is boasting. The 'Five Eastern Brothers' arrived less than half an hour ago, and the old man's invitation letter has already been sent. This kind of action, haha——Brother Mo, do you think it's fast?" "Shen Hand" Zhan Fei laughed loudly, and laughed to "Seven Fiends" Mo Xing who was standing beside him. "Seven evil spirits" Mo Xing turned around and glanced at the group of heroes who were still eating and drinking in the hall, then threw away the toothpick in his hand, and said with a smile: "It's really fast, it's really fast, it's just—" He frowned, and said again: "My little brother has a few things to worry about, and I want to talk to Brother Zhan." The magic hand Zhan Fei immediately said: "You and my own brother, is it inconvenient to talk? Brother Mo, please speak out quickly—" He waved the folding fan in his hand, raised his beard and smiled, and said again: "The old man is listening attentively!" Mo Xing turned his eyes and said in a low voice: "The first thing I'm worried about is Brother Zhan's move. It can be said that Jiangnan has been shaken at this moment. Even the Dongfang brothers from 'Huqiu Feilingbao' have been attracted. His brother's family education has always been extremely strict, and he can easily Never set foot in the rivers and lakes, it can be seen that there are still many martial arts masters who want to come to Brother Zhan's 'Langmang Villa'!" "Mage Hand" Zhan Fei laughed and said: "The more the better, Brother Mo, are you worried that the old man won't be able to afford it?" Mo Xing frowned, and said: "Brother Zhan, in this way, the little brother has become an idiot. What I'm worried about is that the man surnamed Pei, who is always sad and stupid, can neither martial arts nor speak. If you make a joke in front of the heroes of the world, then... that is not you and my brother, you will also lose face!" The "magic hand" Zhan Fei put away the folding fan in his hand with a "swipe", and his two thick eyebrows were tightly knit together. But Mo Xing said again: "My second worry is that the 'golden rooster' crows to Yi. Since I have fallen out with Brother Zhan, I'm afraid they will come to harass me on that day. Brother Zhan won't be afraid of him, but he won't be afraid of him." It's always annoying, but from what my little brother has seen, we should take precautions early." The "magic hand" Zhan Fei turned his eyes and thought to himself: "Don't tell me I don't know this yet, and I still need you to tell me." But he said in his mouth: "Exactly, exactly." Mo Xing raised the corner of his mouth and said again: "One more thing, my little brother sees that 'Qiqiao Chasing Soul' eyes are not right, this person is full of cunning, maybe he is secretly plotting against brother Zhan, brother Zhan should also be careful." The "magic hand" Zhan Fei nodded slowly, and laughed suddenly: "Brother Mo is talking about that brother, unexpectedly he has come." Mo Xing's complexion changed, and he looked around, only to see that "Qiqiao Chasing Soul" had already walked slowly, and Zhan Fei smiled again: "Brother Mo is talking about the 'Qiqiao' in your pocket. Although it has been known for a long time, it has never been seen before. When will it open your eyes?" "Qiqiao Chasing Soul" Feihong's eyes turned, and Mo Xing exchanged a glance, and said with a sinister smile: "Brother Mo wants to see, there will always be a chance in the future, hehe, Brother Zhan, do you think so?" "Seven evil spirits" Mo Xing's complexion changed again, but then he smiled "hehe" and said: "That's right, that's right, my little brother is also looking forward to it!" "Hey! Haha!" The three looked at each other, and they all looked up to the sky and laughed. "Haha! Hehe!" Golden Rooster Xiang Yicrowed triumphantly to a short man in ragged clothes who described him as obscene, and laughed maniacally: "When that day comes, you just go up to the person who is going to be the 'chief executive', spit thick phlegm on his face, and see how he will deal with you, haha—Zhan Fei, Zhan Fei! I see you How long will the wishful thinking last?" He laughed wildly triumphantly, looking at the sunset in the west. Beside him, the disciples of the "Golden Rooster Gang" gathered together. Seeing the smile of their leader, they couldn't help laughing. Another starry spring night. The spring breeze, warm as usual; the stars, bright as usual; the water, flowing as usual; the earth, silent as usual—— Tan Wenqi woke up from the silence, the night outside the window was as cold as water, she rubbed her eyes in confusion, and then remembered that she fell asleep just now when the Leng brothers tapped the "sleeping point" on her waist, but at this moment the point has been unlocked up. She didn't know what time it was, she stood up and straightened her messy clothes. In the silent night, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes. She frowned slightly and thought to herself: "Who is driving so fast in the middle of the night?" Then he laughed to himself: "Why am I so troublesome?" He stretched out his hand to brush his temples, and felt the soles of his feet were cold, so he hadn't put on his shoes yet. When she remembered her melancholy thoughts before going to sleep, the sound of horseshoes in the distance had stopped abruptly. She didn't pay attention to where the sound of horseshoes stopped, but she was still thinking about the sound that had troubled her both. Day question, she was secretly asking herself: "Should I go or not?" Finally, "going to see Pei Jue" became an irresistible impulse. She brushed her temple hair with her left hand, put on shoes on her feet, opened the door with her right hand, and looked out—— Tudi—— In the courtyard outside the door, a figure floated down like a fallen leaf. She was startled, and immediately scolded in a low voice: "who is it?" The figure turned around and caught a glimpse of Tan Wenqi's face, and Tan Wenqi also caught a glimpse of his face under the starlight. The two looked at each other, and they couldn't help blurting out: "It's you!" The two were stunned for a while, and a heavy voice sounded from outside the guest door, saying: "Feng Laowu, open the door soon." Tan Wenqi was startled, and said, "Feng Wushu, is daddy coming outside?" The figure nodded and said in surprise: "Here we come..." With a light step, he has already arrived at the door. His lightness kung fu is superb and refined. It turns out that this person is one of the best light kung fu in Lianghe martial arts, and the powerful head of the "Flying Dragon Escort Bureau", " Plug the flying smoke" Feng Qifeng! Tan Wenqi hesitated for a moment, and walked to the door. As soon as the door opened, a tall and mighty old man in a long gown walked in first. Tan Wenqi drooped her pink neck and whispered: "Father!" This old man is none other than Tan Ming, who is well-known all over the world, powerful and famous "Eight Palms in the Shape of a Dragon"! He turned his eyes, and let out a cold "hum" in his nostrils, as if he didn't see Tan Wenqi, and said in a deep voice: "Gong Laosan, Liu Laodan, why are things getting worse and worse, they don't even know what's going on outside, hum—" After a cold snort, the man walked into the courtyard, and then turned to look at Tan Wenqi With two eyes, he said again: "Qi'er, come with me." He strode up the steps, and with a "bang", he slammed open the door of a guest room, and shouted, "Who lives inside?" Tan Wenqi's complexion changed drastically. She saw that the room her father shook open was actually lived in by her two uncles Leng. She was both shocked and anxious. She lightened her lotus feet and fled past. Under the reflection, the room was empty, and Uncle Leng and Second Uncle Leng walked out without knowing when. This "bang" sounded like an applause, and only then did Gong Qingyang, the "Quick Horse Sword" and Liu Hui, the "Baguazhang" who lived in Dongkuayuan, startled. Shocked, Fang Zi hastily adjusted the bundle and pulled it out, but he had already heard Tan Ming's deep voice of "eight palms in the shape of a dragon" saying coldly: "Drunk again, aren't you?" The lights in the inn were all turned on in an instant, and the sleepy-eyed waiter was busy making tea. Apart from Dongfang Brothers from Huqiu Feilingbao, who had gone to Jingkou, there were more than 20 people living in the inn. All martial arts masters are getting up in full clothes at this moment. They all know that the "Eight Palms of the Dragon" who have not left the capital for many years, has arrived in this small city in the south of the Yangtze River at this moment! "The eight palms in the shape of a dragon are here too, heh heh, this is a strange thing!" Fang De called the police, and the magic hand that immediately stood up Zhanfei, his eyes were on the hidden card that "Langmang Villa" lay outside the mountain city, and hurried away at this moment. The big man who came to report swept his body, and said in a deep voice: "Can you see clearly?" The big man in black bowed his head and said: "If the little one didn't get the confirmation, he wouldn't dare to disturb the owner!" The "magic hand" Zhan Fei gave a "hmm", and kept tapping his fingers on the table, making a series of "duk-duk" sounds, whispering to himself: "Why did he rush here? With his status, it seems that he shouldn't be so nervous about this matter?" His eyes followed his fingers, his thick eyebrows frowned, and he began to think. "Why did I rush here?" Dragon-shaped Eight Palm Tan Ming looked at his beloved daughter awe-inspiringly: "It's not for you, I ask you, why did you sneak out? Where have you been these days? How did it get together with the 'Lenggu Shuangmu' dead wood Hanzhu?" Tan Wenqi stood in front of her father with her head down, not knowing how to answer her father's words.Although the lights in the inn are all on, there are only her father and daughter in this room, she just feels her father's eyes shoot straight into her heart like an arrow, she dare not lie, but she has to lie, She mumbled and said: "I wanted to take a look at Jiangnan, and I was afraid that my father would not allow me, so I sneaked out. I didn't encounter anything, but one day, I was on the busiest street in Jinan Prefecture, and suddenly I saw two people dressed very well. Gorgeous people, standing by the side of the road begging for alms, but what they ask for is strange." Tan Ming said in a deep voice: "What's so strange? There are people asking for alms everywhere in the rivers and lakes. Why are you meddling in your own business?" Tan Wenqi lowered her head, and continued softly: "I saw a lot of people around there, whispering in secret, calling these two men crazy. I felt strange and couldn't help but ran over to look. I saw a young man took half a bunch of money from his pocket and gave them to them, but they Without looking at it, he threw it back to the boy, and said, "If you want to give me money, give me all the money you have on your body." Open, these two people heard people scolding them, there was no expression on their faces, after a while, one of them suddenly said to the other: "Is it time?" When I was about to leave, I heard those people scolding them very badly, and I felt a little bit aggrieved. Seeing that they were about to leave, I couldn't help but say, "I'll give you all my money." At this time, everyone else Look at me like you think I'm crazy too." Tan Ming gave a cold "hum" and said: "These two are probably the dead wood and cold bamboo." Tan Wenqi nodded, and said: "At that time, I thought to myself, even if I give them all the money I have on my body, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I know Uncle Li from Jinan Mansion. Next time, I see that they have suffered too much, but I don't know these two people. It turned out to be the 'Lenggu Shuangmu' that my father told me about." Tan Ming frowned slightly, and said: "What are these two monsters doing?" Tan Wenqi smiled lightly and said: "I found out later that the brothers were making a bet. One said: 'Even if we stand on the busiest street for an hour, no one will give me all the money on us.' The other disagreed, in fact— —" She couldn't help but smiled again: "In fact, if they ask for money like this, no one will give it to them except me. When they saw that I gave them all the dozens of taels of silver in the bag, they didn't thank them. They just took it and left. I didn't take it to heart. I just thought it was very interesting, and later—” She took a breath, and glanced at her father secretly, only to see that there was no anger on her father's face, before continuing: "At night, I didn't want to go to Uncle Li to get the money anymore. After thinking about it, I found the biggest house, thinking... I wanted to go in and borrow some money..." On the stern face of "Dragon Shaped Eight Palms", he couldn't help showing a little smile, and said: "But you don't know that this family is also a martial arts figure, and they were almost caught by someone, right?" Tan Wenqi showed her eyes and asked strangely: "Daddy, how did your old man know?" Tan Ming hummed and said: "Do you know that the house you want to steal from is the place where the most famous hero in Shandong 'Thunderbolt Sword' Qin Tianhao lives? This time I passed by Jinan and stayed at his house for a day. There was a thief, I wondered in my heart, who dared to go to the house of 'Thunderbolt Sword', but I didn't expect it to be you girl..." "I didn't expect it to be the place where his old man lived. I just wonder why this family is so vigilant. As soon as I entered the yard, someone came out. I wasn't afraid at first, but the people who came out were all experts, and more and more More and more, more than a dozen swords forced me out of breath, and I was terrified in my heart. I didn't know that at this time, two figures suddenly appeared like lightning, and they grabbed them with both hands. In an instant, they were killed by them After taking away the three long swords, those people were shocked and said: "The thief stabbed his hand, please get the old man out!" Unexpectedly, when they said these two sentences, these two people took my hand and flew away. They ran away, and although they were chasing after us, they couldn't even catch our shadow." "Eight palms shaped like a dragon" Tan Ming raised his eyebrows and said: "These two must be the dead wood and cold bamboo." Tan Wenqi nodded lightly and said: "They rescued me. When I saw it was them, I couldn't help laughing. They looked at me blankly, and suddenly said to me, within a year, no matter what difficulties I have, I can find them." I said: 'Where can I find you? Why don't you stay with me for a year!' I was joking, but they thought about it and agreed."
