Chapter 48 The forty-eighth round

Before the laughter fell, another healthy horse galloped up the road suddenly. The horse's hair was disheveled and his expression was flustered. In such a cold night, he was still dripping with sweat. Before he could rein in the rein, he turned over and slid off the horse. "Dragon-shaped eight palms" Tan Ming suddenly stopped laughing, frowning with thick eyebrows, said in a deep voice: "Yu Qi, what are you doing in such a panic? Wipe off the sweat on your head and talk to me again." "Yu Qi" who came galloping wildly reached out his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, but before the sweat was dry, he bowed in panic and said, "Report to the Chief Escort that there has been an accident on the side of Funiu Mountain. Hurry up!" The horse is coming, I don't know what's going on with the situation over there at this moment?"

"Dragon shaped eight palms" Tan Ming said in a deep voice, "What happened?" "Yu Qi" gasped for breath, and said: "As soon as the God of War came, he slandered the head of the head of the bodyguard with wild words, and the people down the mountain cheered for Mr. Pei Da. The brother of the head of the head of war who was lying on the other side felt dissatisfied and did not cheer, but was beaten by the "god's hand" Fei's ambushed people were dragged out, the head of the escort Jiang saw that the situation was not right, and he was about to get away, but he was captured by two of Zhan Fei's men!"

"Dragon Shaped Eight Palms" raised his thick eyebrows, and said in a deep voice: "It's strange that someone under Zhan Fei can capture Jiang Dashi." Luo Yi and Bian Shaoyan glanced at each other, with surprise on their faces, one must know that Jiang Dashi, the "poisonous hand Jiang Wei", was originally a first-class expert in the Escort Bureau, so Tan Ming entrusted him with the matter. "Yu Qi" took a breath and said: "The little one saw that the situation was not going well, so he cheered desperately. When they rushed out, the little one ran desperately. At this moment—"

"Dragon-shaped eight palms" Tan Ming said coldly: "Besides Jiang Dashi, how many other people have they discovered?" "Yu Qi" pondered for a while, bowed and said, "There are always fifteen people up and down..." Before he finished speaking, the "Dragon Shaped Eight Palms" looked up to the sky and laughed loudly again. The laughter was clear and high-pitched, still full of pride. Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but they were all stunned, only to hear "eight palms in the shape of a dragon" Tan Ming laughed wildly:

"Zhan Fei, Zhan Fei, you really are a character, you deserve to be the opponent of this old man, but you made a big mistake in choosing this old man as your opponent, you will regret it forever." He laughed wildly, and then said: "Liu Xiandi, do you know how much the old man has set up a spy over there? Even if he finds fifteen more people, his every move will still not be able to escape the old man's eyes and ears." "Ba Guazhang" Liu Hui smiled apologetically, "The Chief Escort is an outstanding man among men, and no one can match him, so what is the one with the surname Zhan?"

"Dragon shaped eight palms" Tan Ming laughed and said: "Jiang Dashi was smart all his life, and he was confused for a while. In fact, he has no need to escape. As long as he pretends, who can find him? It's just—haha, even if he is caught, he is still in my plan. How could he be my enemy?" "Ba Guazhang" Liu Hui said: "That's right, then Pei Jue respects the Chief Escort like a father and brother, how could he be rude to the Chief Escort?" "Dragon shaped eight palms" Tan Ming said with a smile: "It's ridiculous that Zhan Fei has worked so hard to create Pei Jue's reputation, but he didn't understand the relationship between Pei Jue and me. This way, he has become a cocoon and killed himself. One day I will make Pei Jue treat him Turned against each other, at that time, the 'Jiangnan Alliance' he worked so hard to create was tantamount to adding a bit more power to me, haha—"

He turned his head to Liu Hui and said: "Brother, it's for this reason that I have been slow to take action against the 'Jiangnan Alliance'; but who can guess my scheming?" "Baguazhang" Liu Hui expressed admiration all over his face, and sighed: "The Chief Escort's clever calculations, how can people be able to measure them? Pei Jue has made great progress in martial arts recently, and maybe he will be a powerful arm of the Chief Escort in the future." "Dragon shaped eight palms" Tan Ming nodded and said: "As long as I use my wrist a little, why don't he follow me wholeheartedly." He laughed suddenly, but at this moment, a deep and proud smile appeared on his face.

"Baguazhang" Liu Hui couldn't help sighing: "However, I still can't believe that in just one or two years, not only did he practice such amazing martial arts, but also his words and demeanor seemed to have changed into another person. I have never heard of such a thing; I've seen it with my own eyes, and I'll never believe it again." "Dragon-shaped eight palms" Tan Ming smiled and said slowly: "The boy is a very clever man, I saw it early on, so--" He paused slightly, looked around, rode his horse and walked a few steps, Fang Zi lowered his voice, and whispered to "Ba Gua Zhang" Liu Hui who followed him:

"I have tortured him since he was a child, hurt his self-esteem, undermined his self-confidence, and made him a cowardly and useless person. Who knows that he is not a thing in the pool after all. Although his mind and ability are tightly controlled by me Suppressed, but as long as you let it go a little bit, it will all surge out, so he can achieve this in a short period of time." He sighed and continued: "It's just like blocking the water with a dike. Once the dike is breached, the water will become stronger. This is an unchangeable principle. It's just that I never thought of it—"

His voice was full of regret and exclamation. "Baguazhang" Liu Hui smiled and said: "Even so, the Chief Escort still has the power to control him even today. Although it takes more effort, this person is still in the Chief Escort's pocket?" "Dragon Shaped Eight Palms" stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder, laughed and said, "Liu Xiandi, you are really my right hand!" "Baguazhang" Liu Hui is not high in martial arts, nor is his mind outstanding, but in the "Flying Dragon Escort", he is the most trusted figure of "Dragon Shaped Eight Palms".

So everyone was surprised, how could the always shrewd "eight palms in the shape of a dragon" be mistaken and attract a mediocre person as a trusted confidant?But he didn't know that Liu Hui, the "Baguazhang" is incompetent in everything, but his skills of flattery and sycophancy are superhuman, and all living beings in the world, no matter whether they are wise or foolish, are all against this skill of flattery and sycophancy. Is the most useful. "Dragon Shaped Eight Palms" Tan Ming laughed, then suddenly turned back to the horse's head, and said in a deep voice: "God of War will do something like this. Yu Qi, hurry to Nanyang, find the Juxian Inn there, find Xu Ming, Xiang Feiqi, and Gongsun Dalu, and tell them to come back before dawn. Go to Funiu Mountain and tell me that I need help in an emergency." "Yu Qi" the sweat stains were dry, at this moment, with a promise, he flew back on his horse and galloped away. "Dragon-shaped eight palms" Tan Ming said again in a deep voice: "You and I rush over there immediately, the old man wants to see what amazing tricks that 'magic hand' Zhan Fei can do." Before he finished speaking, he lifted the rein and galloped forward first. Luo Yi frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "War God must have come prepared, but I don't know what kind of master he has added?" Bian Shaoyan pondered for a while, looking at the back of the "dragon shaped eight palms", slowly said: "As long as the head of the bodyguard personally takes action, in the world of martial arts today, I'm afraid there is no one who can go through fifty moves under his command." Luo Yi frowned and said, "I'm afraid—" Bian Shaoyan smiled slightly, and interrupted: "What I said is absolutely correct. One day I saw the head of the security guard practicing kung fu in the early morning. His kung fu is so high that even with the strength of the two of us, I haven't seen thirty moves that can stop him." Luo Yi's complexion changed slightly, and he rode away without saying a word. Although he had to believe Bian Shaoyan's words, he couldn't fully believe them. "Dragon Shaped Eight Palms" Tan Ming sat upright on the horse like a mountain, no one could see that the old man had been galloping on the horse for a day and a night without taking a rest. His demeanor was still so calm and calm, the horse rode for a while, and in the night, dust suddenly rose up in front of him, "Dragon-shaped Eight Palms" sneered, and said: "Come, come, the 'God Hand' Zhan Fei really There are tricks again." His voice was full of confidence and pride, "Baguazhang" Liu Hui said with a smile: "No matter what the tricks are, I'm afraid they can't be used by the chief escort!" "Dragon shaped eight palms" Tan Ming smiled sideways and said: "I've already told you that there is nothing in the world that is really hard to get through. I remember a few years ago, I once met a carriage driver. His name was 'Impossible'..." While he was speaking, a healthy horse galloped in front of him. Hearing the voice of "eight palms in the shape of a dragon" blowing in the wind, his complexion changed drastically. Already know!" "Dragon Shaped Eight Palms" complexion darkened, and shouted: "Know what?" The knight who immediately came down, not only looked flustered, but was even better than the former. He was sweating profusely, and his whole clothes were soaked. He was startled when he heard the words, and said in a dull voice, "I can't get through..." "Dragon shaped eight palms" Tan Ming frowned and said: "What's wrong with you! Wang Lie, why are you looking more and more alive, you can't even speak clearly!" "Wang Lie", who looked flustered and sweated profusely, was terrified and did not dare to look up, and told all the things that happened at the foot of Funiu Mountain. When it comes to "Poisonous Hand Jiang Wei" pretending to be greedy for life and begging for life, he slapped Pei Jue and fell to the ground. "Dragon-shaped Eight Palms" raised his thick eyebrows, smiled slightly, and said: "I knew Jiang Xiandi was definitely not that ignorant. It turned out that his actions had a deep meaning. He is a rare person." "Baguazhang" Liu Hui said yes with a smile on his face, but he was secretly jealous; but Wang Lie immediately said that Pei Jue jumped up and Jiang Dashi committed suicide by drinking medicine. The expression of "Dragon Shaped Eight Palms" suddenly changed, and he sighed again and again, "Eight Diagrams Palm" Liu Hui also expressed regret on his face, but he couldn't help but secretly rejoiced. When Wang Lie said that someone had rebelled and spit out the details of "Poisonous Hand Jiang Wei", "Dragon Shaped Eight Palms" immediately became furious, and sternly said: "Where did this person go, was he killed by Zhan Fei?" Wang Lie shook his head and said: "No, but the younger one slipped out together with Zhao Qi and Zhang Sheng, and the two of them immediately followed them secretly, and the younger one came to report." "Dragon Shaped Eight Palms" sneered a few times and said: "Zhan Fei knows that I won't let him go, so he's naturally happy to pretend to be generous. Liu Xiandi, if you don't get rid of this 'magic hand' Zhan Fei, you and I will never have peace." Although his complexion changed, his demeanor was still not flustered. It was not until Wang Lie said "I can't make it through" and told the secret of the martial arts that the martial arts tycoon who ruled the roost for the first time really became flustered. He also trembled slightly, and after a long silence, Fang Zi said in a deep voice: "Just based on the words of that coachman, do other people believe it?" Wang Lie didn't dare to answer, but nodded slightly.Luo Yi, Bian Shaoyan, and "Baguazhang" Liu Hui also changed their expressions at this moment. The real twists and turns in this martial arts secret, even "Baguazhang" Liu Hui, had never heard of it for the first time until today. I saw "Dragon-Shaped Eight Palms" stroking his beard with one hand, sitting upright on the horse, except for his beard and hair being blown by the wind, his whole body remained motionless, as if an old monk was standing still. "Baguazhang" Liu Hui muttered, "Chief Escort..." "Dragon Shaped Eight Palms" waved his palm, cut off his words, let the horse take two steps forward slowly, then turned the horse's head around suddenly, without saying a word, patted the horse away—— Luo Yi, Bian Shaoyan, and "Baguazhang" Liu Hui stepped aside from their horses to let others gallop past. The three of them looked at each other, turned their horses and followed. I saw other people's horses running faster and faster, their gray beard and hair flying up with the wind, and they ran non-stop for half an hour. Although they couldn't see the change of expression on his face, they could guess that his mood was in a state of confusion at the moment, so their expressions were solemn, and no one dared to speak out. He stopped running suddenly, the horse neighed, and he stood up, and the nine horses behind him immediately stopped running. The horse neighed again and again, the sound of hooves stopped, "Dragon Shaped Eight Palms" turned around and said in a deep voice: "Liu Xiandi, how many people are available in the Beijing General Administration?" Not only did he not gasp from the wild running, but his expression regained his composure. This martial arts tycoon dominating the rivers and lakes has indeed excelled in his actions. "Ba Gua Zhang" Liu Hui pondered for a while, and said: "There are about forty people." "Dragon-Shaped Eight Palms" nodded and said, "How many heroes can the bodyguard bureaus call immediately within three days?" "Baguazhang" Liu Hui's heart was pounding, knowing that he was ready to fight "God Hand" with all his strength, Luo Yi and Bian Shaoyan were also full of enthusiasm. Just listen to Liu Hui muttering: "If you use flying pigeons to pass the letter, within three days, you can mobilize twenty-nine bodyguards, about a hundred people in the hands of Qu Zi, and the rest—" "Dragon shaped eight palms" Tan Ming said in a deep voice: "Okay! Shaoyan, you rush to Shiqi Town immediately, and send letters with flying pigeons, so that those who can do it in the bodyguard bureaus in various places will immediately set off for the south of the Yangtze River. Those who have bodyguards will load them with stones if they have no business. Pretending to be escort vehicles, they gathered in Wuhan to cross the river." Bian Shaoyan lifted his spirits, and said loudly: "Obey!" "Dragon Shaped Eight Palms" frowned, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "Whether there are darts or not, they should be loaded with stones." Bian Shaoyan clasped his fists and saluted on the horse, whipped his whip, and galloped away. "Eight palms in the shape of a dragon" Tan Ming's eyes froze, and he said again in a deep voice: "Brother Luo Xian, you rush to Nanyang immediately, intercept Xu Ming, Xiang Feiqi, and Gongsun Dalu, and rush to the ferry without stopping, cross the south of the Yangtze River, and when you arrive in the south of the Yangtze River, gather the twenty brothers who stayed in Qimen to wait for orders overnight. When we arrived at the 'Langmang Villa', except for the old and weak women, we met the man Zhuang Ding, and we arrested them together, it is best to capture him alive, or kill him, and then burn the 'Langmang Villa' to the ground!" Luo Yi's heart trembled slightly, and he said in a loud voice: "Obey!" The eyes of the "dragon-shaped eight palms" were full of murderous intent, and the interface said again: "If this matter is not completed, don't come to see me first. After this matter is completed, you can rest in Fuliang for a day and wait for my letter from Feige." Luo Yi didn't dare to say too much. He raised his whip and galloped away. "Dragon-shaped eight palms" Tan Ming said without thinking, in a deep voice: "Wang Lie, you sneak back to Mount Funiu, and no matter what happens to Zhan Fei, the 'God Hand', try to tell me immediately; if you miss a piece of news, don't even see me." Wang Lie wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his backhand, got on his horse, and said in his mouth, "I obey!" "Dragon shaped eight palms" Tan Ming said again: "When you see Zhao Qi and Zhang Sheng, if they have captured the traitor, you will order Zhao Qi to escort the traitor back to the capital immediately." Wang Lieying claimed it was, and he was about to ride away when Tan Ming raised his thick eyebrows and said suddenly: "If the two of them can't catch the traitor, you can kill the two of them with a knife. It's very worthwhile. I, the 'Flying Dragon Escort', don't need such a fool." Wang Lie felt a chill in his heart, he turned the reins and galloped away. Up to this moment, "Dragon Shaped Eight Palms" Fang Zi let out a long breath, and said slowly: "Liu Xiandi, you follow me back to the capital, you are also tired these days." "Ba Guazhang" Liu Hui hurriedly said: "If the Chief Escort has anything to do, just tell me, I—" Tan Ming smiled slightly, and interrupted: "There is only one thing for you and me to do along the way..." He paused slightly, and slowly said: "That's the rumor of martial arts all over the world. It is said that Wen Qi has married Dongfang Zhen from the Dongfang brothers 'Iron Sword Zhenjianghu' of Jiangsu Huqiu." "Baguazhang" Liu Hui was slightly taken aback, and said in a nonchalant manner: "Knot...have you married?" "Dragon Shaped Eight Palms" eyes flickered, and said: "Exactly, to form a family." He smiled coldly and said: "Half a year ago, Dongfang Tie had signaled to me that I would marry Wen Qi to his third younger brother. At that time, I was still a little hesitant. First, I was afraid that Wen Qi would change, and second, I didn't want to provoke Pei Jue. , so I was just pretending and pretending at the time, and never really agreed." "Baguazhang" Liu Hui was taken aback for a moment, then pondered: "Then... maybe at this moment..." "Dragon Shaped Eight Palms" suddenly laughed and said: "My virtuous brother, after all, you are still not good enough. Once this news is spread, it will definitely shake the world. Brother Dongfang will be surprised and suspicious when he hears it. Even if they don't come to ask for marriage, they must come to me to inquire about it. Then I will be there." Bring up the old things again, and the marriage will naturally follow." "Baguazhang" Liu Hui thought for a while before realizing it, and said: "The Chief Escort's ingenious calculations are really not inferior to Zhuge, so..." "Dragon Shaped Eight Palms" laughed and said: "In this way, not only the Dongfang family has become my helper, but even the masters of the five Dongfang brothers have become my backing. With all this assistance, what should I be afraid of? What a mere coachman said , even if you can impress such ignorant fools, how can you convince the Dongfang family, Wudang, Kunlun and other decent families? Haha, ten years is not short after all, it is enough to wear down people's memories and hatred Haha, Zhan Fei, Zhan Fei, you chose the wrong opponent after all!" "Baguazhang" Liu Hui also laughed out loud, and suddenly said: "It's just that once this happens, we won't be able to do anything to Pei Jue anymore." "Eight palms in the shape of a dragon" Tan Ming still laughed maniacally and said: "With these backings, even if ten more puny characters like Pei Jue come to fight against me, it's nothing." His laughter was even more smug and high-pitched. It's just that the martial arts tycoon who was good at knowing people all his life once again underestimated Pei Jue's ability and made a mistake!It was a mistake, as he said, that he would regret in the days of eternal life.
