Chapter 10 Chapter 10: The Secret Under the Seat
But in the shadow of the dead wood, there was still no sound, Shen Sanniang raised her eyebrows, her eyes were suddenly full of evil spirit, Guan Ning's heart shivered.
"Looking at her charming smile on weekdays, who would know that she is so terrifying when she is angry."
I saw her body move slightly, and two people slowly walked out from the shadow of the dead wood, but it was the benevolent and wise elder.
Guan Ning and Ling Ying glanced at each other, both ashamed and admired in their hearts, and heard Shen Sanniang say coldly: "Who am I? Will also..."
There was a pause in the voice, the figure fluttered up suddenly, turned around in the air, flew across the sky for more than ten feet, and flew in the other direction, shouting in his mouth: "You also stop for me!"
With a sudden ups and downs, the figure has gone away, the lightness kung fu is wonderful and amazing.
Ren Zhi and the elders looked at each other, as if they were secretly glad that they didn't escape.Guan Ning was also amazed in his heart, this desperate lady looks so weak, but she has such skills, but secretly wondered: "There is one more person, who could it be?"
It is not surprising that the elders of benevolence and wisdom are lying in the dark.
He knew that the two of them wanted to take them to find the boy "Wu Buyun", so they chased them for a long time, but they turned back when they failed to catch up, but they saw that they were with Mrs. Despair, so they didn't dare to show up. body, had to hide in the dark.But there was actually another person in the dark, which made him unpredictable.
"Could it be that big man in black?" He thought to himself, "If it's them, that's great. As long as I can see the true colors of these two people, then..."
He changed his mind, only to hear the old man Le Shui sneer: "Does what you said just now count?"
Guan Ning raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "Xiao Ke will never break his promise, you two just rest assured. Before tomorrow afternoon, I will definitely take you two to meet the face of 'Wu Buyun'."
There was a faint scolding sound in the distance, as if Mrs. Despair had already made a move.Ling Ying frowned slightly, and said, "I'll go and have a look." Swiping up, she suddenly rose and fell, and then swept away.
The elders Ren and Zhi looked at each other, and the old man Le Shui suddenly moved, and rushed to the front of the carriage, looked up, and blurted out: "It really is him, he was really injured." The old man Leshan raised his eyebrows, Also swept past.Guan Ning was startled, but saw a scolding sound from inside the carriage, saying: "Get out."
Dozens of points of light and rain shot out, and the elders of Renzhi and Zhi were shocked, and with a flick of their sleeves, they retreated a few feet like lightning.The old man Le Shui shouted: "You girl, why are you so vicious!"
There was a sneer in the carriage, and he scolded himself: "What's wrong with being vicious?"
The figure disappeared, and the girl with long hair in red, "Hong'er", had come down, put her hips on her hips and said with a sneer, "So what if it's him? What if you're injured? Don't you dare to do anything? "
Ren Zhishuang's face changed again and again, looking down, in the night, he saw that his sleeves were full of silver stars, he couldn't help but feel a chill, knowing that if he hadn't just flicked the sleeves of this robe, no matter how fast he retreated, I'm afraid I will have to suffer a few times.
They were hidden in the dark just now, heard a few words faintly, and guessed that the person in the car might be the injured Ximen Yibai, seeing them now, it was really good.You must know that most people in the martial arts world regard Ximen Yibai as an enemy, and this old man of benevolence and wisdom is no exception.The old man Le Shui turned his eyes a few times, and suddenly said slowly: "Then, can you definitely bring me to see him tomorrow?"
At this moment, he suddenly said this sentence again, and it was completely inappropriate.Guan Ningfang was taken aback for a moment, but seeing that he hadn't finished speaking, he sneered suddenly, turned around, raised his palm, and hit Hong'er, and his body rushed over like lightning.
One must know that this Ximen Yibai's status in the martial arts world is unparalleled, if anyone can kill him, even though this person borrows from an unknown person, he will immediately become famous all over the world.
When the old man Leshui saw that Ximen Yibaiguo was seriously injured and lying unconscious in the car, he felt murderous in his heart, thinking: "Then Shen Sanniang is not here at the moment, if I kill him with lightning speed This Ximen whitened, and then snatched the boy away. Although this little girl's hidden weapon is vicious, her martial arts skills can't stop me from attacking with all her strength. When Shen Sanniang comes back, I'm already gone. Besides, even if she chases after me, my brother The two of them fight her with all their strength, and they may not be afraid of her."
This thought flashed through his mind, and he made up his mind. He casually said a few words to Guan Ning as a cover, but secretly he had already gathered his strength and was ready to kill him.
At this moment, his figure swept away like lightning, and the palm wind hit him like an avalanche, Hong'er was shocked, and swung her palm horizontally, ready to desperately catch his palm.Guan Ning's heart trembled, and he wanted to stop it, but it was too late.Although the old man of Leshan has a kind heart, he still has a heart of hatred towards Ximen Yibai, and he will not stop his brother from doing things, just in this unbearable moment...
Guan Ning swung his long sleeves abruptly, and swung his back palm like lightning, hitting the healthy horse that was harnessed to the carriage.Although his concealed weapon skills are not very good, he is not enough to hit people, but more than enough to hit horses.
With a "bang", the "hidden weapon" that hit the horse's back also fell to the ground, and it turned out to be the jasper box that contained the "life-sustaining ointment".
With a sound of "bang", the horse was hit on its back, and only heard a cry of alarm, the horse raised its hooves and ran forward.
It turned out that the two men in black came out suddenly just now, he was startled and hid the jade box in his sleeve, when he started to do it just now, the jade box was small, but it moved around in his sleeve, which was very inconvenient , and nearly fell out. Fortunately, he didn't have much time to do it, but he was already complaining about its obstruction in his heart, but he didn't expect that this obstructive thing would come in handy at this moment.
Le Shui old man slapped away with his palm, only to see Hong'er waving his palm to block, he cursed secretly in his heart: "You want to die!" The palm shook, Hong'er screamed coquettishly, she sat on the ground with a "poof", Fortunately, the old man Leshui saw that she was just a little girl, and he didn't really do any harm.
But when she fell to the ground, she also felt that her wrist was broken and her buttocks were hurting. She was shocked in her heart and thought to herself: There is clearly a carriage behind me, why did I fall to the ground?Looking back, I realized that the carriage had run away.
Le Shui old man knocked Hong'er back with a palm, and was about to take a step forward, and killed Ximen Yibai in the carriage, but when his eyes moved, the carriage ran away frantically.Surprise and anger mixed in his heart, he tiptoed, and his body suddenly rose and fell several times.The carriage crossed the road and ran to the other side of the road.Although the horse in the harness was frightened, it raised its hooves and galloped away, but it started from the bottom, so in the blink of an eye, the old man Leshui overtook him.
The old man Le Shui sneered: "Ximen Yibai, you are going to die at my hands."
Together, he was about to pull the carriage, but a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, and a person stood in front of him, and said coldly: "What are you going to do?"
He stopped in shock, looked up, and saw that at some point, Mrs. Despair was standing in front of him.He chuckled a few times, and Fang Zi said nonchalantly: "The horse suddenly went berserk, I want to stop the carriage."
Mrs. Despair sneered, and said, "Don't bother Your Excellency."
With a twist of his body, he flew several zhang like lightning, stretched out his jade palm, and lightly got on the carriage. The horse raised its hooves and neighed, but couldn't take another step.
The old man Le Shui was startled when he saw the dark, he didn't stand up, he didn't retreat, but he heard the old man Leshan suddenly shouted from the other side of the road: "Second brother, Yonger is here..."
Old man Le Shui's heart was shaken, and he fled back, only to see Hong'er got up, standing pale beside the other carriage, holding the horse with one hand, thinking that this horse also ran out in fright, and the other With one hand constantly swinging, the green-clothed woman who had followed Mrs. Despair just now had also swept back, with a sneer on her face, her hands on her hips, standing beside Guan Ning.At this moment, Guan Ning was massaging the joints of a person who was lying on the ground. Elder Leshan was also standing beside this person. Seeing Elder Leshui approaching, he said joyfully, "Second brother, don't you think this is a mediocre man?"
Elder Le Shui looked intently, and saw that the person on the ground was indeed the only son of "Taihang Purple Boots" Gongsun Zun, who sneaked down the mountain and changed his name to "Wu Buyun" Gongsun Yong.
Mrs. Desperate led the carriage, walked over slowly, turned her gaze, and said coldly: "So the three of you are on the same road."
Just now she saw a figure who was hiding in the dark, and when she saw that she had uncovered the behavior of the elders of benevolence and wisdom, she was about to run away. She chased after him like lightning, and saw that the figure was not weak in lightness kung fu. Going up, just about to ask questions, who would have thought that this figure turned around without saying a word, and punched him in the face.
The position of this punch is extremely good, the fist is fierce, but Shen Sanniang's martial arts are extremely high, how could he be hit by him?Gently dodge, three or two meet each other, and they hit this person's pockmarked acupoints.At this time Ling Ying had also chased after him, and when he saw this person, he blurted out: "Isn't this person with Xiao Guan?"
The two of them brought him back.In the middle of the walk, Shen Sanniang suddenly saw the carriage running wildly, knowing that things had changed, she left Ling Ying and the young man behind, and flew over, just in time to block Old Le Shui's killer.
At this moment, Fang Zi sneered, and after saying that, Guan Ning immediately raised his head and said, "This man is on the same side as me. Madam Desperate looked at my thin face and opened his acupuncture points."
You must know that Mrs. Desperate's martial arts are extremely high, and the acupuncture techniques used are also taught by her own school.
Just now the old man Leshan couldn't untie it, so he was slightly startled at this moment.
"Obviously this person is with Ren Zhi and the elders, why does he say that he is with him?" But she finally went to unlock the acupuncture point of "Wu Buyun" - Gongsun Yong.Suddenly, the willow waist folded, and the palm of the hand took advantage of the momentum, and with a "pop", the old man Leshui beside him was squeezed tightly.
Old man Le Shui saw her relieve Gongsunyong's acupoint, never thought that she would strike at him, and this palm came like lightning, and it was too late for him to avoid it, so he got a palm on his face.He has a very high status in the martial arts, when has he suffered such insults?At the moment, the anger rushed up, and Fang waited to turn his eyes and make a move.
Unexpectedly, Madam Desperate said angrily: "It's unreasonable, why did your head hit my hand!"
The old man Le Shui was taken aback for a moment, he had never heard such words in his life, he only heard Ling Ying and Hong'er laughing out loud, he thought for a while, then Fang Zi yelled angrily: "How dare you! How dare you tease me like this..."
Before the words were finished, Shen Sanniang suddenly said coldly: "If you were going to pull that carriage just now, then my hand would have been hit by your head right now."
The old man Le Shui was stunned for another moment, his heart was full of anger, but he couldn't let it out, he thought: "This woman is really hard to deal with, she already knew that I was going to kill Ximen Yibai, so this hit is not bad. You're being polite, if that little girl goes to provoke you later, won't she try to find me desperately?"
He considers himself a wise man, and he refuses to do anything that will make him lose in his life. He knows that Mrs. Despair is a strong martial artist, and he is absolutely no match for him.I am so old, if I die here, it will be wronged.As soon as I thought about it, I took a deep breath.Seeing that Gongsun Yong's acupoints were unlocked, he spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm, stood up, and said: "Brother, Yonger, let's go."
Seeing his brother being beaten, the old man Leshan felt uncomfortable, and shouted: "Yong'er, your father is waiting for you, if you have anything to say, you can talk about it when you go back, let's go now!"
Shen Sanniang looked around and suddenly thought: "It turns out that they didn't go all the way, which is strange. Listening to their tone, this young man is actually the son of Taihang Purple Boots, why did he sneak out and dress up like this?"
I saw that Gongsun Yong stood up, kept his head down, and didn't even look at Ren Zhishuang; they told him to go, but he didn't seem to hear them.
Shen Sanniang sneered, and said: "If people don't want to leave, no one can force them."
Guan Ning was wondering, this boy "Wu Buyun" - Gongsun Yongming had made an appointment with him at the Mao's old shop at the foot of Miaofeng Mountain, why did he come here again at this moment?Hearing Shen Sanniang's words, she hurriedly said, "That's right, that's right, Brother Wu doesn't want to go... Cough cough, if Brother Gongsun doesn't want to go, no one can force him to go."
The old man Le Shui was full of anger and had nowhere to vent. Hearing Guan Ning's words, he shouted, "What do you know about the old man's housework? Hmph, what are the children talking about!"
Ling Ying raised her eyebrows, and she was waiting to shout angrily, but she heard Shen Sanniang yelling to herself: "You better speak clearly. Who is a child? What if you are old?"
Ling Ying quickly interjected: "Exactly, exactly, what's the matter with getting old? Some people don't die when they are old, just... just..."
She thought about it, but couldn't think of how to say this sentence.That Hong'er had just been slapped by him, although she was not injured, but her anger was still there, she immediately continued: "To grow old and not die is to be a thief, haha...to be old and not die is to be a thief!"
At this moment, she had someone to support her, knowing that these two old men would never dare to do anything to her again, so she clapped her hands and laughed loudly.
One by one, the three women scolded the old man Leshui so bloody that they couldn't laugh or cry. When Guan Ning saw it, he laughed secretly in his heart and thought to himself: "The three women of human nature are just a play. How can this old fox be so smart all his life?" When a woman fights, isn't she just looking for a nail to touch her?"
Gongsun Yong, who was standing with his head bowed, sighed suddenly at this moment, and said slowly: "If you dare to ask the two uncles to go back and tell my father, just say that I... well, I will never go back, unless..."
Although the old man in Leshan hadn't been beaten or scolded, he still felt very uncomfortable. Hearing this, he coughed dryly and said, "Yonger, are you really so confused? Even if you have something to say, this is not the place to talk." , why not follow..."
Before he finished speaking, Shen Sanniang said coldly: "Is it the same if you say something here? Are your words shameful?" Turning to Gongsunyong, she said, "Young man, just say what you have to say, I'm afraid what?"
But Gongsun Yong stood there, but he couldn't say a word anymore.The old man of Leshan saw him and said again: "Yonger, after you go down the mountain this time, not only our two old men went out to look for you, but almost all the people on Taihang Mountain were mobilized. Those who went to the capital alone, two of them, There were several dials. If you don’t go back, wouldn’t it be a disappointment to everyone’s kindness?”
Guan Ning's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly remembered the six brocade-dressed, bearded warriors on horseback that he and Gongsun Yong had seen last night.Only now did he realize that these people were all looking for Gongsun Yong.He couldn't help wondering: "Looking at the situation, this person really has no ill intentions towards him, so why is he so hard and refused to go back?"
I saw that Gongsun Yong didn't move, no matter what anyone said, he didn't seem to hear it.Although the old man Le Shui was unlucky the first time he opened his mouth, he still couldn't help saying: "It's really unfilial, like your father..."
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Gongsun Yong suddenly raised his head, his face full of determination, and said in a deep voice: "I have always respected the two uncles, but if the uncles force me like this again, then don't blame me..."
The old man Le Shui changed his face and said: "What do you want? I didn't expect that you would not only dare to be unfilial and disobey your relatives, but also dare to commit crimes. I don't believe that there will be chivalrous people in the martial arts who would dare to defend you, a scum."
She glanced out of the corner of her eye, but she glanced at Shen Sanniang, implying, "If you defend him, you are not a chivalrous person."
Shen Sanniang is extremely clever, how can she not hear the truth?But at this moment, she also felt that Gongsun Yong was really unreasonable. She glanced at Guan Ning out of the corner of her eye, as if asking, "What's the matter with your friend?"
But Guan Ning also had a dazed look on his face, but he didn't know.
Shen Sanniang turned her eyes a few times, and said to herself: "If this young man is really making trouble, why should I bother?"
When the heart moved, there was an intention to withdraw, only to hear someone shouting in the distance: "It's on fire, put out the fire...it's on fire..."
The shouts are getting closer and the voices are getting noisier.It turned out that the ancestral hall was on fire and the fire was out of control. Although this is a desolate suburb, no one would come here in the middle of the night, but now it was almost dawn, and the villagers who got up early had already woken up.
Shen Sanniang looked around and said: "Someone put out the fire, if we stay here, we won't be blamed for setting the fire. Big sister, you and... you and Xiaoguan take the same car, and Hong'er and I take the same car." car, let's go."
She assigned people to take the car, but she just didn't mention Gongsun Yong, so she was naturally planning to stop taking care of this matter.
Guan Ning sighed secretly, walked to Gongsun Yong's side and said in a deep voice, "Wu—Brother Gongsun, my little brother is leaving, can you..."
Gongsun Yong stood in a daze, and said again and again: "Okay, you go, the people in the car will be handed over to you, and the people will be handed over to you."
Seeing his incoherent speech, Guan Ning felt sad for a while, and sighed: "Well, don't worry about it."
"I also gave you that car." Tudi whispered very quickly: "Under the seat..."
Loudly said again: "The green mountains will not change, and the green water will flow forever. You and I will meet later."
Turning to Elder Renzhi, he said, "I'll go back to the mountain with you."
The elders Ren and Zhi looked at each other and smiled: "This is a good boy."
Before the words were finished, the voices of people were getting closer and closer, and there were also sounds of shouting and running.Shen Sanniang jumped into the car and shouted: "Let's go!"
Ling Ying also went to get into the car, but seeing Guan Ning was still staring blankly at Gongsun Yong, she said softly, "Little Guan, get in the car too!"
Gongsun Yong waved his hands again and again and said: "Brother Guan, just go on your own." His eyelids drooped suddenly: "I...I'm leaving too." He strode towards the elder Ren Zhi.
The elder Renzhi smiled slightly and left with him.
Shen Sanniang snorted coldly, and said: "These two are immortal, if I didn't want to be troublesome, it would be strange for them to leave so easily today."
Jade Palm raised lightly, pulled the reins, and left with a whip.
Guan Ning watched Gongsun Yong's back disappear, and Fang Zi looted into the carriage, feeling depressed in his heart, as if he felt that he was very sorry for him, and he didn't know that the car had moved on, and he only thought, this Gongsun Yong It would never be someone who committed unfilial piety, but he couldn't guess what was going on in it.
Ling Ying was holding the rein and waving the horsewhip, with good friends and lovers by his side, naturally very happy, and said with a coquettish smile: "Although I was angry and left, but later I realized that I was wrong, so I secretly hid behind you In the garden of my family, I hid in a small room full of trash during the day, but secretly came out to watch the night for your family at night. Fortunately, your house is so big, I was hungry, and no one knew when I went to the kitchen to steal food. Later I Seeing you go, I also hired a big cart to follow you. Seeing you dressed up as a coachman, I was really funny, I didn't expect...haha, I didn't expect that I would also be a coachman now."
The carriage turned and turned to the side of the road. She held the rein with one hand, looked at the road, and said with a smile: "However, after all, you rarely go out and are too careless. There are still people in the carriage, so you just walk away. not me……"
She paused, then turned her head abruptly and said, "Little Guan, why don't you speak?"
Seeing Guan Ning's face, he couldn't help but coquettishly said: "Okay, so you didn't listen to what I said. Let me ask you, what are you thinking?"
Guan Ning calmed down, and quickly smiled, "I was thinking, who is the owner of that ear, and how could you chop it off." In fact, he heard Ling Ying's words, but he didn't hear them very well. clear.
So what he said casually at the moment, but what he said was not outrageous.Ling Ying raised her eyebrows and became happy again, and said, "Tell you, those two long swords and one sharp knife belong to the very famous 'Luoyang Sanxiong' in Lianghe Wulin. Little, I only know one of them called 'Wind Chaser', and I don't know the other one either."
Guan Ning was shocked when he heard this. Although the name "Wind Chaser" is unfamiliar to him, the name "Three Heroes of Luoyang" is often mentioned by his master Situ Wen, and he knows that they are extremely good fighters in the northern martial arts.He was startled, and blurted out: "I heard that the martial arts of the 'Three Heroes of Luoyang' are extremely high. I never thought that you are even better than them, but—do they have any hatred with Ximen Yibai?"
Ling Ying glanced around, and said in a low voice: "To tell you the truth, this Ximen Yibai has a very bad reputation in the martial arts world, even my master said he is not good. But after listening to you, I know that this incident He must be wronged."
She paused, smiled, and suddenly said happily: "The martial arts of the 'Luoyang Three Heroes' are really good, but the martial arts of the 'Wind Chaser' are even higher. They have all suffered from Ximen Yibai before, I don't know How could they find out that Ximen Yibai was recuperating at your home, so they came here to take revenge, luckily..."
She smiled again: "Fortunately I'm there."
Guan Ning smiled slightly and said, "I already knew that you must have done these things."
Ling Ying raised her eyebrows: "Really?"
Guan Ning said with a smile: "Aside from you, who else is willing to help me like that?"
Ling Ying's cheeks flushed, and she scolded coquettishly, "You bastard."
His heart was sweet, and he said again: "Fortunately, the characters who came in those days were second- and third-rate characters. I can't bear to replace the 'Kunlun Huangguan' people... Hey, do you know that I am here?" At your door, I saw a few Taoists sent by them from Kunlun, I was afraid they would go there at night, but I didn't know that they didn't, did you send them away with some words?"
Guan Ning nodded in agreement, but secretly admired in his heart: "These Kunlun disciples are indeed worthy of being members of a famous and decent school, and their actions are really upright."
But he didn't know that Taoist Huang Guan, the current head of the Kunlun sect, is the head of the Kunlun sect, and he has a severe personality, disciplines himself and others, and is extremely strict. He never condones those who break the rules.Therefore, Taoist Xiaotian and others had some doubts in their hearts, but they did not dare to violate the rules of the house and enter the houses at night.
There was a rumbling sound of the carriage, and the carriage was moving very fast. In just a few words, he had already traveled a long way.Guan Ning looked back, but could not see any flames, but saw the dawn in the eastern sky, but it was the severe winter, the weather was gloomy, and there was no sunshine all day long, so the sky was still extremely gloomy.He secretly sighed, and whispered: "The nights in winter are really long!"
Looking up, I saw the car in front suddenly turned to the right, they were heading west, and turning right meant heading north, so Guan Ning knew that they were heading for Miaofeng Mountain.
Xiaohan is heavier.
Ling Ying put the reins and whip in his hands into Guan Ning's hands, shook his hands, and said with a smile: "It's dawn, I don't want to be a coachman anymore, you can drive." Smiling, he said: "The weather is so bad. It's so cold that my hands are almost numb."
Jiaoqu gently leaned towards Guan Ning.
Guan Ning smiled and said, "I'm really lucky to have such a good coachman like you."
With a twitch in his heart, he suddenly asked again: "I'm curious, how did you meet that Shen Sanniang, and how did you bring her back?"
Ling Yingjiao smiled and said: "You don't have to be surprised at all, as long as you thank me. Do you know that you and that young man left the carriage and walked in, and I kept watch for you with the northwest wind blowing. Later, two The guy came to steal things and saw people in the car. Both of them were surprised. One said: "Whoever he is, I'll do it first." I was surprised when I heard it. I picked up a dagger and wanted to stab down, I jumped over from behind, and each of them gave them a sword."
Guan Ning frowned slightly, and said, "You are very aggressive."
Ling Ying said "Ouch", raised her head, and said, "Unexpectedly, you are a benevolent and righteous gentleman. If you don't kill people, people will kill you, what should you do? Hmph, I really don't know what to do."
She pouted her cherry lips, and smiled coquettishly again.Guan Ning smiled, stretched out a hand, and put his arms around her shoulders.
So the anger at the corner of her mouth turned into a smile again, she leaned on her body and leaned even tighter, and said: "I killed them, and wrote two words of insulting you on the ground with the tip of the sword, did you see that?"
Guan Ning nodded and smiled, and reached out to hit her on the shoulder.Ling Ying's heart warmed, and she felt that although the morning cold was heavy, she no longer cared about her, and said with a smile: "I just finished writing, and suddenly I heard someone coming out of the yard, and they still use it. I was startled, and hid outside the wall. When I looked up, it turned out to be your friend who I didn't know. He ran to the carriage, looked at the dead body on the ground, and the expression on his face was the same. He seemed to be very surprised, and then looked around. I was afraid that he would see me, so I quickly lowered my head. After a while, I saw no movement, so I quietly stretched out my head again, but he was gone."
Guan Ning's heart skipped a beat, and he blurted out, "Missing?"
Ling Ying said: "Yeah, it's gone, there's no sign of him around, as if he had suddenly used an invisibility method. I was still thinking, why is this person's lightness skill so high?"
Guan Ning frowned and thought, "Why did he suddenly disappear? Could it be that he was hiding nearby and didn't go far away?"
"At that time, I was afraid that he would hide nearby and not go far, so I never dared to come out..."
Guan Ning interrupted suddenly: "Did you pick up the dagger that the robber used to kill people?"
Ling Ying was startled and said, "No, didn't you see it?"
Guan Ning nodded and said: "I didn't see it, this dagger must have been picked up by Wu—Gongsun Yong!"
Ling Ying said strangely: "At that time, my head shrank to the outside of the wall, but after a while, he picked up the dagger, and then swept away without a shadow...Shen Sanniang's martial arts are really high." She didn't know It is said that Gongsun Yong's martial arts are high, but Shen Sanniang's martial arts are high. Naturally, Shen Sanniang once captured Gongsun Yong. Gongsunyong's martial arts are so good, so Shen Sanniang is unbelievably higher!
"Unexpectedly, there is such a woman with such strong martial arts in the martial arts world, but she is not very old!" She said again: "Then I saw you come out, and I will not come out..."
She lowered her head and smiled: "I really didn't want to see you at that time, because... because you were too bad."
Guan Ning's heart moved, and he wanted to ask her if she saw Miss Du, but he held back, and only listened to her answer: "I saw you standing there blankly, and it was really funny in my heart, and then I saw you pulling out the carriage, Unexpectedly, the carriage was snatched away again. I saw you yelling and chased after it, and thought to myself: Although you have treated me badly, I want to please you. So I chased it for you and took a shortcut to the intersection. The carriage just ran over, I tried my best and grabbed the shaft, I thought I was very light, so I didn't make any sound..."
She smiled lightly and continued: "I didn't know that just as my hand touched the shaft of the car, there was an incomparably beautiful voice from the car, saying: 'Who is it? What are you doing?' I said: 'It's a business trip, come here. Grabbing the bandit who snatched the carriage.” Before I could finish my sentence, the driver suddenly swung my whip back. I saw that the driver was a little girl, and I thought that the whip would never be too heavy, so I gently reached out and took it. Unexpectedly, that little girl is young but her martial arts skills are not small, I almost fell into her trap when I underestimated the enemy."
While listening intently, Guan Ning frowned slightly, but seemed to be thinking about something in secret.You must know that he is originally a talent for understanding Yuan, so he only cares about listening, so how can he have time to think about other things?
Ling Ying said again: "I stretched out my hand to catch it, but I felt a shock in my wrist, and I was almost taken out of the car. I quickly took a breath of true energy, and stretched my hand, but the girl couldn't stand it anymore, and her body shook. I see her I couldn't bear to fall under the car, so I hurried over and stretched out her hand to grab her. The little girl probably saw that I was also a woman, so she smiled at me, alas... Her smile is so sweet, even I can see it stunned."
She paused, as if recalling that sweet smile.
Guan Ning said with a smile: "You said that other people smile sweetly, are you?"
Ling Ying covered her cherry lips with her hand, and said coquettishly, "You are bad, I smile so ugly, I won't let you see it."
Even though he said so, he still raised his head, and quietly lowered the jade palm covering his cherry lips.
Guan Ning only felt his heart flutter, but he heard her continue: "Who knew that when I was stunned for a moment in my heart, I just felt a blur in front of my eyes, and there was a stunning beauty beside that girl, who was also smiling." Looking at me, I said: "Little girl, what are you going to do?" I wanted to fight with them, but when I saw them, I had nothing in my heart, so I heard her say again: "I'm in a hurry Let’s go to the capital, can you lend me this carriage, okay?’”
She snorted softly, and continued: "Her voice is so nice, and every move is so cute, I was stunned again, and then said: 'I can lend you the carriage, but the person in the carriage is sick. It was very heavy, and it was a friend of mine who was rescued from Siming Mountain Villa after a lot of hard work. Alas... this man is really pitiful, he doesn't even remember who he is, and he was poisoned again. I know him, but I can see that he is definitely not an ordinary person, and the white clothes he is wearing are not like ordinary people.'—”
"At that time, I didn't know that the person in this car was Ximen Yibai, that's why I said these words, and I already had a good impression of them, so I didn't lie to them."
Guan Ning smiled approvingly, as if satisfied with her honesty and innocence.
She said again: "When I was talking, she kept smiling and listening. When I got to this point, her face suddenly changed, and she blurted out: 'What did you say?' I saw her appearance, it was very strange, But for some reason, I actually had a good impression of her, so I told her everything in a simple way, and I hoped to send the car back to you immediately, lest you be anxious—”
"Unexpectedly, when I finished speaking, tears flowed from her big eyes. As she immediately brought the horse's head back and ran towards the way she came, she told me softly that she was Shen Sanniang, the 'Madame of Despair', and she was going to the city of Beijing. Just to find Ximen Yibai—"
"This time, I was taken aback, because until then, I didn't know that the scholar in white was Ximen Yibai. So we took a carriage together and drove through the town. When we passed the inn, I knew you had left Fortunately, there are still ruts left by you on the ground, because it snowed heavily at night and no one else walked, so your rut marks can be seen very clearly on the glistening white snow."
Guan Ning sighed secretly, and said, "You girls are really careful."
Ling Ying said with a smile: "What kind of carefulness is this? As long as you run around in the rivers and lakes more, you will naturally know."
Guan Ning smiled and said, "So you found me along the rut? Well, fortunately, it snowed. If it was summer, it would be miserable."
Ling Ying said: "It's not miserable in Xia Tian, we can find you too, it's just that it will be later."
Guan Ning laughed at himself: "If it is later, you will never find it."
Ling Ying's heart trembled, and she murmured: "I'll never see you again... I'll never see you again, oh, I really don't know what to do. I saw Shen Sanniang's appearance when she found Ximen Yibai, it was really shocking I felt sad and happy at the same time. In fact... well, if I saw you then, if someone else saw you, wouldn't it be exactly the same!"
Guan Ning felt that his heart was full of tenderness and sweetness, as if his throat was choked up, he couldn't say anything, he just hugged her shoulder tightly, as if to prove that she was by his side.
Ling Ying closed her eyes, silently bearing the warm affection.
Although the wind was strong and the car was so bumpy, she felt that this was the happiest place in the world.
A long time, a long time!
She sighed contentedly, and said, "You know everything about the future. But I have one more strange thing, and it's very strange."
Guan Ning said, "What's the matter?"
Ling Ying said slowly: "That shorter man in black is so familiar with my swordsmanship, he seems to know the next move after I make a move, I... I'm not bragging, although the swordsmanship I use is not extremely brilliant, but few people in the martial arts know it."
Guan Ning's heart moved, and he blurted out, "Who knows?"
Ling Ying closed his eyes and thought for a while, then stretched out his green hand like a spring onion, gently stretched his fingers and said: "As far as I know, there are only two or three people, but besides me and Master, there is also me. One of Master’s fellow disciples, however, her old man has gone to live in seclusion on an isolated island overseas, and there are two better friends of Master, but I don’t know much about it..."
Guan Ning interjected again: "Who is it?"
Ling Ying said: "One is 'Yu Ruyi', the wife of the Gushan King, and the other is 'Si Ming Hong Pao', the wife who I secretly ran to find her for a sword competition, but she is already dead!"
Guan Ning let out a long "oh", then bowed his head and fell into deep thought again.
His mind is very clear, but sometimes very confused.
Seeing his expression, Ling Ying lowered her head lightly on his firm shoulders, but she didn't think about anything.
Day, finally fully bright.
In the deserted sky, there is still no sunshine, and it seems that the snow will start to fall again.
Why is that dagger missing?Was it really Gongsun Yong who took it?
Why did he suddenly disappear, and then reappear outside the ancestral hall?
What was the meaning of that vague sentence he said to me?
"Then 'Yu Ruyi'? 'Red Robe Lady'? Who would that black-clothed man be?"
Guan Ning thought over these few closest questions over and over again, and was actually lost in thought.Ling Ying lay on his chest, but fell asleep in the warmth and sweetness.The fast-moving carriage bumped suddenly.There is a ditch on both sides of this road. Although there is no water in the ditch, when the carriage rushed into it, there was a big "bang" earthquake.
Guan Ning was shocked, and suddenly felt under the seat cushion, as if being hit by a heavy object.
他心中猛然一动，那健马一声嘶，马车便一齐停住。
凌影茫然睁开眼来，心里还留着一丝甜蜜的美梦。
但是她目光转处，却见管宁突地像大腿根中了一箭似的从车座上跳了起来，满面俱是狂喜之色，又生像是他坐着的地方，突然发现了金矿一样。
刹那之间，管宁心念一动，闪电般掠过公孙庸方才对他说过的那句极为简单的语句：“车座下……”
一路上，他一直在思索着这三个字中的意义。
直到此刻，他方才发现，这极其简单的三个字里，竟藏着不简单的秘密。
凌影秀眉微皱，诧声问道：“小管，你怎么了？”
但管宁却似根本未曾听到她的话，双足方自站稳，突地伸出左掌，将凌影从车座拉了下来，右掌却搭上车座边缘，全力一托……
车座竟然应掌而起，管宁喜呼一声：“果真是了。”
凌影秀目圆睁，满心惊诧，微嗔道：“你这是干什么？什么是了？”
忍不住微伸螓首，探目望去。晨雾渐消，朝阳已起，日光斜映中，车座下竟有一方足以容身的空处，而就在这方空隙里，又有一物微闪精光，定睛一看，竟是一柄双锋匕首。
她只觉心头一震，忍不住脱口娇唤一声：“果真是了！”
管宁微微一笑，反口问道：“什么是了？”
凌影秋波一转，想到自己方才问他的话，口中“嘤咛”一声：“你坏死了！”
管宁方自伸手取那柄匕首，听到这句温柔的娇嗔，心中觉有一股温暖的潮汐，自重重疑窦中升起。
两人目光直对，他只觉她双眸中的光采，似乎比匕首上的锋刃更为明亮。一时之间，不觉忘情地捉住她皓腕，俯首轻问：“我坏什么？”
她轻轻伸出另一只手，轻轻扳动着自己的手指，轻声道：“你呀，你坏的地方真多了，数也数不清。第一件，你……第二件你……第三件……”
噗哧一声，掩住自己的樱唇，咯咯地笑了起来。你若有千百件错事，但在你相爱着的人们眼里，也会变得都可以原谅，何况，管宁毕竟真的很难让别人说出他的恶劣之处哩。
方才管宁在马车的前座上，所反复思忖着的四个问题：“那柄匕首怎的不见了，难道真的是公孙庸取去的么？”
“他为什么突然不见踪迹，然后却又在那祠堂外面出现？”
“他对我说的那句含糊不清的话，车座下——究竟代表着什么意思？”
“'玉如意'？'红袍夫人'？那黑衣汉子究竟是谁？”
此刻已有三个有了答案。他一手轻握着凌影的玉腕，一面仰天缓缓道：“在那客栈的前院里，你缩到墙外的那一刹那里，公孙庸他已拾起地上的匕首，躲进了车座下面。我们到处寻他不着，只当他早已去远，哪知他却一直没有离开这辆马车，所以，在祠堂外面，他才会突又现身，对我说出了车下的秘密。”
凌影幽幽一叹，道：“你这位朋友，当真聪明得很。如果不是他亲口对你说出了秘密的关键，而又被你凑巧发现，谁会想到他会躲在这里？我常听师父说，越容易的事越难被人发现，越简单的道理就越发令人想不通。有些聪明的贼子做了坏事，被人追赶，就会利用人类的这个弱点，就近躲在最明显，却又是最不会注意的地方，让别人花了无数气力，转了许多圈子，甚至追到数里之外，却想不到贼人只是躲在自己家里的大门背后！”
她软言细语，却听得管宁心头一震，皱眉自语：“最容易的事最难被人发现……”
突地抬起头来：“你想，那两个奇怪的黑衣汉子会是谁呢？在四明山庄中下毒手的是谁呢？难道这本也是件很简单的事，我们却在大兜圈子，所以没有猜到？”
凌影沉吟半晌，嫣然一笑，道：“我说的只是个可以成立的道理而已，世界上的事，怎能以此一概而论！”
管宁口中“嗯”了一声，却又垂下头去，落入沉思里……
半晌，他突又抬头，四顾一眼，才发现自己和前面的马车相距甚远了。
于是他再次掠上马车，掌中仍拿着那柄双锋匕首，背厚锋薄，在日光下精光闪烁，有许多疑云，似乎已在这锋刃下，迎刃而解。
鞭梢一扬，马车又行。
凌影柳眉微微一皱，突地缓缓问道：“还有一件看似非常简单的事，我却想了半日，也想不透。”
管宁侧目问道：“什么事？”
凌影缓缓接道：“你那朋友公孙庸，在那种匆忙的情况中，为什么还要拾起地上的匕首，才躲进车座下的秘密藏身之处？”展眉一笑：“这件事实是无关紧要，我不过是问问罢了。”
管宁沉吟半晌，缓缓道：“在车座下这么小的地方里，匕首是最好的防身之物，他是怕自己的行藏被人发现，是以才拾起这柄匕首，以为防身……”
凌影接口道：“这点我已想过了，但是这理由虽然在千千万万人身上都可以讲得通，用在一个身怀武功，而且武功不弱的人身上，却又有些讲不通。这种普通匕首在一个武林高手的手中，有和没有的分别，实在差得太少了。在那情况下，如果没有其他的理由，他实在犯不着拾起它的，除非……”
管宁剑眉微剔，缓缓道：“匕首除了防身之外，又能做些什么呢？”
凌影沉思半晌道：“除了防身之外，也可自杀！”
管宁摇首道：“像他这种性格的人，纵然到了山穷水尽之处，也会奋斗求生，绝对不会生出自杀这个念头的。”
凌影轻轻一笑，道：“我不是说他要自杀，只是说匕首可以用做自杀而已。”语声微顿，又道：“除了自杀、杀人之外，匕首还可以用来杀鸡、宰羊、切菜、切肉、削苹果、裁信笺、削木头……可是他却一样也用不着呀，难道车座下有个大苹果，他要削来吃？”
说到这里，噗哧一声，忍不住又笑出声来。秋波一转，却见管宁呆呆地望着前方，不住地低声自语：“削木头……”突又喜呼一声：“一定是了！”
凌影忍不住又问：“什么是了？”
管宁又像方才一样，仿佛大腿中了一根箭似的，猛然从车座上跳了起来，一掠下车，又一把将凌影拉下，一手搭上车座边缘，全力一搭，车座也立即又应掌而起。
一时之间，凌影心中不觉又为之惊诧交集：“车座明明已是空的，他这样却又是为什么呢？”
车前之马，不住长嘶，似乎也在对管宁突顿突行的举止，发出抗议。
管宁却动也不动地俯首向车座下凝视，对身旁的一切都似不闻不见，半晌——突地长长叹了口气道：“果然是的。”
直到此刻为止，凌影仍无法测知他这番举动究竟在弄何玄虚，听得他一声长叹，一声言语，忍不住凑首过去，秋波随着他的目光向座下凝视，半晌——竟突地惊叹一声道：“他拾起那匕首，原来是为了要在里面刻字！”
管宁手提缰绳，将马首转了个方向，从东方射来的阳光，便可以清楚地射在车座下床板上的字迹。
字迹甚是零乱歪斜，若不经心留意，便不容易看得清楚。管宁、凌影并肩而立，屏息望去，只见上面写的竟是：“此话不可对人言，留此仅为自解郁积，若有人无意见之……”下面四字，刻出后又用刀锋划去，隐约望之，似乎“非我卜者”，又似“亦我卜者”四字。
管宁、凌影对望一眼，谁也猜不出这四字的含意，往下看去：“家父生性激动，常做激动之事。激动之事，善善恶恶，极难分清，近日一事，我不欲见，是以亡去。若有人罪我，骂我，我亦无法，但求心安而已……”
下面又有一段数十字，写出后又划了去，但划得像是十分大意，是以亦可隐约看出，而且看得比方才四字尤为明显。
凌影秋波凝注，低低念道：“数十年前家父与四明红袍，本是忘年之交，成名后虽疏行迹，但来往仍甚密，只是江湖中人，甚少有人知道……”念到这里，她语声一顿，皱眉道：“四明红袍与太行紫靴，声名相若，地位相当，两人相交，本应是极为自然的事，但他言下之意，却似极为隐秘，为什么呢？”
管宁剑眉一皱，俯首沉思半晌，缓缓苦叹一声，却听凌影又道：“是了，他两人年轻时，一定一起做了些不可告人的事，到后来各自成名，生怕这些事被人知道，是以——”
管宁伸手一拦，拦住了她的话头，长叹摇首不语。其实他自己心中何尝没有想到此处，只是他心存忠厚，又与公孙庸相交为友，是以不愿说出而已，凌影口直心快，却说了出来。
下面的字迹，似因心情紊乱，又似乎因车行颠簸，是以更见潦草，只见上面又自写道：“四明红袍天纵奇才，不但擅于武功，尤善于暗器、施毒、易容等旁门巧术，极工心计，更重恩怨！”
凌影侧目诧道：“原来四明红袍这些手段，非但江湖中极少有人知道，就连我也丝毫不知，这倒又是件奇怪的事了。”
管宁皱眉不语，再往下看，下面的字迹，笔画刻得较前为深，字形也较前为大，似乎是公孙庸经过一番考虑才刻出来的，刻的是：“君山双残、终南乌衫，是其刻骨深仇，少林、武当、罗浮等派，亦与其不睦——”语句忽地中断，变为：“四明红袍最近做出一事，自念必死——”语句竟又中断，下面的字句，更是断断续续，但却无刀划之痕：“天下第一计——渔翁得利——高极、妙极——歹极——毒极——孝——不孝？——自古艰难惟一死——”
下面再无一字。
管宁与凌影一起看完，不禁又面面相觑，作声不得。他们都知道在这些零乱断续的字迹里，一定包含着一些重大的意义。
但究竟是什么含义，他们虽然极为仔细，却仍猜测不透。
凌影长叹一声，皱眉道：“你那朋友真有些古怪，他既然想说出一些秘密，却又偏偏不说清楚，让人去猜，人家怎么猜得到？”
管宁出神地愣了半晌，缓缓道：“子不言父过，但正义道德所在，却又令他不得不说，唉——若是你换到了他的处境，你又该怎么样呢？”
凌影呆了一呆，樱唇微启，像是想说什么，却又说不出来。
良久，良久，她方自幽幽叹道：“难道他的父亲'太行紫靴'，也和'四明山庄'的那件惨案有什么干系么？”
管宁皱眉沉声道：“看似如此。”长叹一声：“你我都将他这些字句，仔细想想，以你我两人智慧之和，也许能猜出他的心意亦未可知。”
凌影微一颔首，轻拧纤腰，掠上车座，秋波一转，突地娇唤道：“哎呀，沈三娘的马车，连影子都看不见了，怎生是好？”
于是马车加急驶去。
绝望夫人沈三娘心悬爱侣的伤势，快马加鞭，赶到妙峰山口，回首一望，后面的那一辆马车，却踪迹未见，面上虽未见任何焦急之色，心中却是已充满焦急之情，皱眉低语：“难道他们又出了什么事么？”
伫身道旁，候了半晌，匆匆进了些饮食，越想越觉心焦，抬头一望，却见日色竟又偏西了。
她忍不住拨转马头，向来路驰去，只望在半路遇着管宁、凌影二人。哪知她快马急驰，几乎又驰了半个时辰，仍是不见他俩马车之影，她不禁暗中气恼。
“难道他们当真如此荒唐，不知利害轻重，此时此刻，仍在路上谈情说爱，是以耽误了时刻？”
转念一想，却又觉他两人不致如此，于是她心里不禁更加焦急。
“难道他们在中途出了事情？”极目望去，笔直的路上，一无车尘扬起，但黄土的道路上，却有新印的车辙马蹄，只是她一时之间，未曾看到而已。
黄土路上，被急行的马车，带起一串黄色的车尘。
马车的前座，并肩坐着一对俯首沉思的少年男女——管宁、凌影。
零乱的字句，零乱的意义，却在他们零乱的思潮里，结成一个毫不零乱的死结，也不知过了多久，管宁长叹一声，抬起头来，皱眉道：“怎的我们还未追及沈三娘的车子？莫非是走错了道路么？”
凌影垂首道：“大概不会吧？”
管宁怔了一怔，回首道：“难道你也不认得道路？”
凌影轻轻颔首。管宁急问：“如此说来，那位神医的居处，你也不知道？”
凌影又自轻轻颔首。
管宁长叹一声道：“但是，那神医的居处，却也是你告诉我的。”
凌影轻轻一笑，垂首道：“我只知道他住在妙峰山附近，却不知道他究竟住在哪里。”
语声一顿，抬起头来，道：“我可没有说过我知道他住在哪里，是吗？”
秋波似水，吐气如兰。
管宁呆呆地愣了半晌，心中纵有忿怒责怪之意，却又怎能在她的面前发作？车行渐缓，突见前头尘土飞扬，一匹健马，急驰而来，管宁心中暗道：“何不寻此人打听一下路途？”
他心中一犹豫，这匹健马，已有如风驰电掣般自车旁急驰而过，只得暗叹一声：“罢了。”却又奇怪地忖道：“难道此人又是来寻我的么？”
只见此人一身浅蓝衣衫，身躯瘦小，行动却极矫健，马上身手不弱，只是面色蜡黄，似乎久病初愈，打马来到管宁车旁，扬臂高呼道：“阁下可是与夫人一路？”
语气沙哑，虽是高声喊话，却仍十分低黯。
管宁心念一转，抱拳道：“正是。”
马上人嘴角一牵动，似笑非笑地，抱拳又道：“幸好在这里遇到阁下，否则又不知道要走多少冤枉路了。”
扬手一提缰绳，轻挥马鞭，举止甚为潇洒，口中牙齿，更是莹白如玉。
管宁剑眉微皱，朗声道：“朋友可是沈三娘遣下来寻访在下的么？”
马上人方自似笑非笑地嘴角一动，道：“正是，沈夫人生怕两位不识路途，是以特命在下迎两位于途中。”
管宁展颜一笑，抱拳道：“如此说来，兄台敢情便是在下等远道来访的……”
马上人接口含笑说道：“在下张平，家师在武林中，薄有医名。”马鞭一扬，又说道：“舍间便在那里，沈夫人候两位大驾，已有多时了。”
车行数十丈，管宁才知道要往那神医隐居之处，并非直沿大道。“张平”一甩缰绳，当先向左边一条岔路转去，再行数十丈，路势竟又一转，曲曲折折，嶙峋崎岖。“张平”回首歉然一笑，道：“山路甚难行，两位若觉颠簸，可将马车放缓。”
管宁微笑道：“无妨。”
凌影秋波一转，嫣然道：“武林中人都知道令师的居处极为隐秘，所以在我想像中，到府上去的路比这还要难行些哩。”
