Chapter 7 The Seventh Concubine Allure

In the ancient city of Xi'an, it is rare to see rain, but the ancient city in the rain is not embarrassingly gloomy, but presents a kind of vigorous half-qi. But no matter what, this ancient city is gradually declining after all. The Han palace is romantic and long-lived.Only the twin pagodas of the big goose and the little goose still retain their magnificence in the past, standing upright in the unbroken wind and sand in the northwest, accompanied by the light waves of the Qujiang River, showing off the romantic relics of this ancient city to wanderers in the distance. Half a mile away from the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, there is a stretch of pines and cypresses like clouds, which is the courtyard of Mr. Wei Qi, the "Dragon of the Northwest". The gate leading to the east.

In the misty rain, a carriage came galloping outside the city, five healthy horses, the curtains on the carriage were drooping, but the horseman was a Taoist in a gray robe with big sleeves and a black hairpin in a high bun. The four riders who were watching the carriage all had pale faces, piercing eyes, and long swords at their waists, like middle-aged Taoists who did not see the sun in the middle of the day, and they all had very heavy expressions on their brows. He rode at the head, but he was gray-browed and white-haired, skinny, with empty waist, fluttering clothes, and the palm holding the rein was as white as jade, like a woman.

These five riders and one bike, as soon as they entered the city, they rushed towards "Flying Ring" Wei Qi's "Mulong Manor" without stopping, all expressions seemed to be urgent. In the "Mulong Village" with pines and cypresses, under the promenade on the four sides outside the martial arts hall, there are forty-four tables on each side and one hundred and seventy-two tables on each side, a row of large tables connected end to end. A whole lamb, on the second table is a whole roast pig, on the third table is half a red bull, then twelve roast chickens, twelve smoked ducks, twelve fat geese, four bottles of old Fenhe "Zhuyeqing" wine from 2010, and then a whole sheep... After the cycle, there is only a piece of wine and meat aroma, which is scattered by the wind, almost reaching the outside of Xi'an.

The edge of the square table was filled with hundreds of polished wrist knives with red silk handles, and in the remaining space, there were stacks of flowered porcelain sea bowls and giant celadon toasts. In the Martial Arts Hall, under the pine and cypress trees, in the hexagonal pavilion... There was a lot of laughter and people gathered. Grandpa Wei Qi, the "Dragon of the Northwest", strode out of the long corridor, shouted suddenly, and jumped onto the dripping cornice on the hall. The martial arts heroes who were laughing and laughing, couldn't help being surprised. I don't know what happened. , who would have thought that this hale and hearty old man, with his feet slightly apart, stood his pen on the edge of the eaves, raised his arms and shouted loudly: "Thanks to my friends and brothers, I came to this 'Mulong Village' today. I, Wei Qi, don't have any hospitality. Some are just rough vegetables and light wine, and the true colors of warriors!"

The group of heroes laughed suddenly, followed by a wave of applause like a hundred thunderbolts. "Pseudo-dragon" Wei Qi's eyes flickered, his spirit was high, and he suddenly shouted: "Friends who wear swords draw their swords, friends who wear swords draw their swords, friends who don't use swords, there are sharp knives on the table for slaughtering wolves and tigers... ...the right ideas are on the table, shoulder to shoulder!" This loud shout really resounded through the sky, and there was another burst of cheers, cheers and laughter, like a torrent, followed by a series of "choking" sounds, swords came out of their boxes, knives out of their sheaths, and the group of heroes laughed and crowded towards the square table, "Pseudo" "Dragon" Wei Qi swooped down the eaves, reached out to wipe the raindrops on his beard and hair, and grabbed a sharp wrist-removing knife. With a flash of light, he picked up a big piece of meat dripping with juice on the tip of the knife!

Outside the promenade, beside the rockery, in a hexagonal pavilion with green tiles and vermilion railings, the laughter continued. He smiled and said: "Senior Wei is really a hero. I never expected that I, Ren Fengping, would meet such a person when I first came out of Yuguan. Today's banquet, even if I don't drink, this heroism is enough to make people drunk! " Guo Yuxia smiled sweetly, and said: "Today's banquet is really unique, it has never happened before, but it's a pity..." She suddenly sighed quietly, turned her head and said: "It's a pity that your elder brother is not here, third brother, you say yes Is it?"

Shi Chen nodded woodenly and said: "Yes!" A light flashed in Ren Fengping's eyes, and she said with a smile: "It's the pole, the foot is the pole. If Brother Long, the 'Iron Man', is here, I'm afraid the pride in the 'Mulong Manor' will be increased a little bit more." With fixed eyes, It seems to want to see through what Guo Yuxia said, is it true? The words stopped, and I saw Wei Qi, the "Flying Ring", striding forward with a sharp knife in his own hand, and said with a loud smile: "Hero Ren, although you are afraid of the enemy, but the first piece of meat, I always respect you You are a stranger."

Ren Fengping smiled slightly, leaned over and said, "How dare you do that." Wei Qinong raised his eyebrows slightly, his laughter stopped suddenly, he focused on the piece of meat on the tip of the knife, and said in a deep voice: "The martial arts in the Central Plains are old and withered, and Xing Daxia will come out of Yumen this time, and he will definitely be a hero in the Central Plains." Not to mention a mere piece of meat, even a herd of cattle and sheep can afford it." Qian Fengping's eyes flashed, and she also said solemnly: "Although Ren is not talented, he can't be loved by the old seniors. But for the righteousness of the world's martial arts, Ren should go all out!" Putting away the folding fan, both hands The tip of the knife took out the piece of meat, and regardless of the dripping meat juice, it was torn into two pieces, and they were put into the mouth to chew.

Wei Qi stared blankly for a while, then suddenly looked up to the sky and smiled, "What a hero, what a hero, what a man!" Huo Ran turned around and ran out. Guo Yuxia said: "I just thought you were going to take the opportunity to show off your martial arts, but you just took it and ate it!" Yan Ran smiled, and said: "But this is better than showing off no matter how high your martial arts are, what do you say? Is it?" Ren Fengping said: "I am a villager in Huawai, what martial arts do you have to show off? Madame made fun of it." Standing with his head bowed, Shi Chen heard his words clearly, he didn't find it strange, looked up and saw that he had eaten up that big piece of beef in an instant, couldn't help feeling a little shivering, and thought to himself: "This man doesn't show his sharpness, but intentionally or unconsciously, where others don't pay much attention, he shows his superb martial arts. It's just that people can't say he's showing off." Thinking of this, I secretly feel admiration.

Turning his gaze, he saw "Flying Ring" Wei Qi galloping towards him again, holding a jar of fine wine in both hands, still whispering in his mouth: "Good man... good man..." Swipe up to the little girl Ting, laughed and said: "I, Wei Qi, met a man like you today, and I must have a drink with you!" He raised the wine jar with both hands, looked up to the sky and took a few sips before handing over to Ren Fengping. Seeing that Ren Fengping's eyebrows were slightly frowned, as if contemplating and listening, Wei Qi said: "Hero Ren, what are you waiting for, don't you bother drinking with this old man?"

"How dare you!" Ren Fengping smiled slightly, and said, "It's just that there is another martial arts expert coming, so Ren has to wait." Wei Qinong frowned slightly, wondering: "Who? Who's here?" Seeing Ren Fengping's figure flashed, Fang Zi retreated to the side of the fence, outside the pavilion there was a gentle breeze, and a white-haired Taoist with gray robes, long sleeves, black hairpins and high buns came down. "Flying ring..." Wei Qi's eyes moved, and he exclaimed, "Fourth senior brother, why are you here!" The white-haired Taoist stared at Ren Fengping with sharp eyes, and said coldly, "This friend has great eyes and ears!" Wei Qi laughed to himself and said: "It's wonderful, it's amazing that the fourth senior brother is here, and today's meeting is even more icing on the cake. Fourth senior brother, you still don't know who this friend with sharp eyes and ears is?" Guo Yuxia's heart skipped a beat: "Master Zhongnan is here." His face was cold, and he said coldly, "It's very rare." Wei Qi smiled and said, "This is Ren Fengping, the legendary hero 'Wanli Liuxiang'." The white-haired Taoist raised his eyebrows and said: "So it's Hero Ren!" His tone was still icy cold. Ren Fengping smiled and bowed, and said: "This person must be Senior Lu who is called 'Jade Hand Chunyang, Zhongnan Swordsman' by people in the Jianghu. Unexpectedly, Ren Fengping was lucky enough to meet the top swordsman in the martial arts world, the master of the 'Zhongnan' sect. Door hero!" The white-haired Taoist questioned with one palm, and said, "The poor Taoist is Lu Tianming." It turns out that since the "Zhongnan Sanyan" died in the battle of Huangshan, the fourth disciple of the seventh generation of the Zhongnan School has been promoted as the head. Wulin Chinese are known as "Wei Qi Tai Ye". "Jade Hand Chunyang" Daoist Tianming has not been to Zhongnan for many years. Now that Wei Qi saw his senior brother in charge, he couldn't stop laughing, "Fourth senior brother, I will introduce you to two heroes later." !" He laughed loudly and said: "This Miss Guo and Shaoxia Shi are the direct disciples of a generation of warriors 'Immortal Dragon'." Guo Yuxia and Shi Chen bowed in unison, but "Jade Hand Chunyang" was still asking questions with one palm. Guo Yuxia stared at his shiny white palm and thought to herself, "No wonder he is called Jade Hand Chunyang." Shi Chen thought to himself, "This Taoist is so arrogant." On Lu Tianming's skinny face, he squeezed out a dry smile and said, "How is Master Ling?" Guo Yuxia was waiting to answer, but "Jade Hand Chunyang" suddenly turned around, grabbed "Flying Ring" Wei Qi who was walking out of the small pavilion, and said, "Where are you going?" "Flying ring" Wei Qi said with a smile: "I want to announce to my martial arts friends that my senior brother who is in charge has arrived." Taoist Tianming said coldly: "Wait a moment to announce." Wei Qidao: "Why?" Tian Ming said humanely: "Do you know why I rushed down to Zhongnan, came all the way here, and jumped over the wall without being notified?" Although Wei Qi's heart was moved, he still had a smile on his face, and said: "I only care about seeing my senior brother happy, and I didn't think of any of these things." "Jade Hand Chunyang" Lu Tianming sighed, "You're getting older, but your temper still doesn't change, you know—" His voice suddenly became very slow and heavy, and he said word by word in a deep voice: " The cold-blooded concubine is still in the world, I'm afraid she has already arrived in Xi'an city!" "Flying Ring" Wei Qi's heart shuddered, his face changed suddenly, the wine jar in his hand fell to the ground with a "pop", the fragments scattered, and the wine beads splashed, all splashing on his purple satin brocade robe. Shi Chen and Guo Yuxia's heart trembled, but seeing "Jade Hand Chunyang" with a blank face, "Flying Ring" Wei Qi's white hair trembling, Ren Fengping remained calm, but there was surprise in his eyes, "Flying Ring" Wei Qi trembled: "Where did this news come from? Is it true?" "Jade Hand Chunyang" turned his eyes and pointed out of the pavilion wordlessly, and everyone looked at him together, only to see four gray-robed Taoist priests supporting a man with a distressed look and a haggard face, who seemed to be seriously ill. With two servants leading the way, they came slowly. "Flying Ring" Wei Qi frowned and said in a deep voice, "Who is this person?" Shi Chen and Guo Yuxia were startled and exchanged glances with each other. It turned out that the injured person was the mysterious Taoist who suddenly took away the red sandalwood coffin at the top of Mount Hua. "Jade Hand Chunyang" Lu Tianming said coldly, "Who is this person, don't you recognize him?" Wei Qi's eyes widened, until all five of them came close, he suddenly shouted!Trembling: "Ye Liuge... Ye Liuge..." The green-robed Taoist "Master Swordsman" Ye Liuge looked up, staggered into the pavilion, threw himself into "Flying Ring" Wei Qi's arms, and hissed, "Seventh Brother, Seventh Brother... I can see you today On the one hand, it is true that I have been human for two lifetimes..." Before she finished speaking, she fainted! In an instant, all the people in the pavilion looked at each other, all of them were too shocked to speak. The heroes of the martial arts group standing relatively close have gradually gathered in front of the pavilion, looking at the people inside the pavilion with astonished eyes. "Flying Ring" Wei Qinong frowned, opened his eyes wide, and couldn't stop pausing and said, "What...what is this? Liu Ge, brother, you...you...how did you become like this after so many years? What do you look like? Old brother almost doesn't recognize you anymore." Lu Tianming sighed, and said: "I haven't seen Liuge for ten years, until yesterday afternoon, when he ran up the mountain covered in blood, we knew that he actually saw Mei Lengxue with his own eyes, and was even..." He was cold Glancing coldly at Shi Chen and Guo Yuxia, he continued: "The disciple of the Immortal Dragon stabbed his sword. If he hadn't been rescued by a strange person, he would have died at the foot of the Canglong Ridge in Huashan. No one knows." "Flying Ring" Wei Qinong raised his eyebrows, his face was even more astonished, his gaze turned to Guo Yuxia and Shi Chen like sharp blades, and he said in a surprised voice: "Son of Shenlong, how could you stab Liuge with a sword?" Guo Yuxia looked at her with a look of confusion on purpose, frowning and thinking for a long time, Fang Bai sighed, "Could it be the fifth younger brother? Ah - it must be the fifth younger brother, alas! It's only been a day since he separated from us. Why have you done so many ridiculous things?" Lu Tianming said coldly: "Who is your fifth younger brother, and where is he at the moment?" "Nangong Ping!" Wei Qi said with hatred: "It must be this person, Mrs. Long, Brother Shi Shi, you..." Guo Yuxia sighed deeply, and interrupted: "Senior Wei, you don't need to say it, we also know that fifth brother——ah! Since he has done something that is sorry for his fellow martial arts, and the master is not here, we can't act on behalf of the master. I am ashamed to uphold justice for the martial arts, no matter what you do, Senior Wei, we will always stand by your side." "Flying Ring" Wei Qi sighed, and said: "It is true that the sons of dragons are all different, with uneven fingers, each with their own length... I never thought that you, Mrs. Long, are so aware of righteousness." Guo Yuxia lowered her head with a long sigh, and said: "This junior really has no choice but to see our fifth younger brother with a woman named Mei just now, and that woman was also with the 'Minshan Twin Heroes'..." Wei Qi stopped him and asked, "Is that the woman in the car?" He couldn't help but pause, "Why didn't I see clearly..." Guo Yuxia said: "Based on what this junior sees, I'm afraid she has learned the art of retaining beauty!" "Flying Ring" Wei Qi's heart was shocked, he was stunned for a while, and murmured: "Could it be that her martial arts has improved again..." Suddenly he looked around and shouted: "Where is the eldest grandson brother!... Ren Daxia, where are the eldest grandson Shuangxia?" Ren Fengping kept bowing her head in meditation, but now she raised her head, her face full of bewilderment, and said: "I saw them just now, why are they not here now?" There seemed to be something hidden in his expression, but at this moment, no one noticed it. "Flying Ring" Wei Qichang sighed: "It would be great if the Immortal Dragon was here, alas——how come the world is in chaos once the Dragon is gone?" Lu Tianming sneered suddenly, and said: "I hope Shenlong is not dead..." Wei Qi didn't understand the hatred and poison in his words, and helped the "Master Swordsman" on the ground.Ye Liuge, facing the martial arts heroes outside the pavilion, suddenly shouted again: "My friends and brothers, don't leave after drinking, and I, Wei Qi, go together to search for a traitor in the martial arts world, and that cold-blooded female middle devil." Cold-blooded concubine'!" The group of heroes immediately panicked and responded. Ren Fengping frowned slightly, and sighed secretly in her heart: "This Wei Qi has unleashed his all-powerful power to deal with the two of them alone." Then he thought: "If I want to make him return to me, this is a great opportunity!" Just listening to the deafening cry, it went away with the wind.Shi Chen still hangs his head in a dumbfounded manner, without saying a word, while Guo Yuxia's eyes are flowing, but she doesn't know whether it is sorrow or joy? "Master Swordsman" Ye Liuge slowly opened his eyes, moaned and said, "Seeing that poisonous woman...don't...let her talk...words...you don't hurt her...she will hurt you gone." "Flying Ring" Wei Qi looked at the group of heroes outside the pavilion, and said to himself: "She can't hurt me!" ※※※ The rain is misty, still lingering, the sky is gloomy, getting darker... The faces of the two friends from Minshan were as dark as the sky. They followed Nangongping secretly until his funeral was over, they entered Xi'an City, and drove into the side door of a large-scale grain and rice farm. Under the eaves opposite, he said in a low voice: "Since that woman is not Mei Yinxue, why did he call my brothers to follow?" Changsun Dan pondered for a while, and said: "This man is a dragon among men, and all his words and deeds have deep meaning. I don't know it at the moment, but I will definitely know it after a long time. Second brother, you and I have nothing but martial arts, but we have lost our lives." What's the use of living in a secluded corner with a little fame in vain on Hexi Road? If you and I really want to make a name for ourselves in the martial arts in the Central Plains and Jiangnan, we all have to rely on this person!" The eldest grandson Kong sighed, and suddenly saw a person striding towards the opposite door, handed an invitation card in his hand, bowed and handed it to the eldest grandson's single hand, and then stood by the side with his hands down, but remained silent. The "Second Minshan Friends" were taken aback for a moment, and unfolded the invitation, only to find that it read: "At the end of the martial arts school, Nan Gongping, the fifth disciple of 'Zhijiao Villa', respectfully prepares Feizhuo, and respectfully invites the elder grandson of 'Second Friends of Minshan' to share a story." The eldest grandson brothers' hearts were shocked, and they all looked at each other, but saw Nangong Ping had changed into a light robe, standing at the opposite door with a smile on his face, cupping his hands away. Although the two brothers had been traveling for a long time, they were at a loss at this moment. They were stunned for a while, and then the eldest grandson clasped his fists and said in a loud voice: "Yayi understands, come to bother me again in the future!" They turned around and walked at the same time, walking faster and faster , never looked back. Nangong Ping watched their figures go away, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, he let out a long sigh, and walked into the door heavily, the sky was getting dark, copper lamps had been lit in the back hall, but the light was still pale yellow, he Although he is full of martial arts and has hundreds of millions of wealth, but at this moment, there is a worry in his heart that neither martial arts nor wealth can solve. He murmured to himself: "If I can be divided into three parts, nothing will happen, but... alas!" But he didn't know that even if he could be divided into three parts at this moment, his troubles and misfortunes would not be resolved. Mei Yinxue leaned coquettishly under the delicate copper lamp, the soft light shone on her like a dream, on the marble and red sandalwood table in front of her, there was a blue and purple bamboo basket with a green silk belt for good fruits, light yellow They are bananas, the bright red ones are lychees, the tender green ones are lemons, and the bright purple ones are grapes... These exotic fruits from the South China Sea, which are extremely rare even in rich families, did not attract her eyes at all. She just looked lazily at the wall. The copper lamp in the room, what are you thinking? Nangong Ping's heavy steps did not interrupt her smoky thoughts, she didn't even turn her eyes to look at him, her pale face was like cold jade in the dreamy light. In the silence, even the sound of quicksand in the dripping glass of the copper pot on the corner table seems to become very clear. The ruthless time, with this merciless sound of quicksand, passes away quietly, gently, faintly, as if Without a trace, they don't know that it is quietly stealing people's lives. After a long, long time, Mei Yinxue finally sighed softly and said, "Have you left?" Nangong Ping said: "Let's go - what are these two people secretly following you for? Could it be that they still saw you after all!" Mei Yinxue smiled lightly and said, "Are you worried?" Nangong Ping said: "What am I worried about?" Mei Yinxue said leisurely: "You are thinking that if others recognize me, it will be bad for you. At that time...you are afraid that you will no longer ignore me, because I am a person who is spurned by the martial arts. If you help me , then you will also become a traitor to the martial arts... The upright disciples of Shenlong are unwilling and dare not be traitors to the martial arts, not even the immortal dragon, what do you think?" Nangong Ping's expression was dull, gloomy without any hint of expression. Mei Yinxue said again: "The morality in martial arts is only for a few people. If ten martial arts heroes think you are a villain, then you are doomed to be a villain, because no matter what you do , you are all wrong, even the upright disciples of Shenlong dare not say a fair word under the big hat of "martial arts morality", because others may not believe it... Hey, what do you think! " Nangong Ping's eyes flashed, but he remained silent. Mei Yinxue chuckled suddenly, and said: "But don't worry, in the martial arts at this moment, except for you and me, no one can tell that I am..." Huo Ran's face sank, and there was a burst of laughter outside the window , said: "Concubine Peacock, you are wrong this time!" Nangong's face suddenly changed, and he said in a low voice: "Who?" He took a step to the window, only to see the window frame slightly lifted up, and a person slipped in like a fish from outside the window, bowed to the ground, and said with a smile: " The situation is very serious, in order to avoid people's eyes and ears, I came through the window, please forgive me!" With a clear voice and a chic demeanor, it turned out to be Ren Fengping, the ranger outside the customs "Scent of Thousands of Miles"! Nangong Ping's heart shook, and he took three steps back. On Mei Yinxue's pale face, there was a strange expression, Yingying stood up, and said: "What are you talking about? Could you please say it again?" Her voice was soft and peaceful, as if a kind It seems that the teacher is asking his students to repeat the usual words. Ren Fengping was slightly taken aback, wondering whether this woman was calm or indifferent, but the strangeness in his heart did not show on his face at all, "The Nangong family is indeed the richest in the world!" He avoided this annoying topic first. , smiled and said to Nan Gongping: "I never imagined that Xiongtai would have such a gorgeous and comfortable villa in Xi'an." Nangong Ping thanked with a smile, and bowed his hands to the guests. He also recovered his composure at this moment. The three people in this room seemed to have steel-like nerves. Even though there were thousands of surprises in their hearts, they still had calm expressions on their faces. Until Ren Fengping sat down, Mei Yinxue smiled again and said, "Have you heard what I just said?" Ren Fengping smiled slightly and said, "Concubine Peacock is famous all over the world, Miss Mei, how dare I make a mistake in what you said..." Mei Yinxue's face darkened suddenly, and she said coldly: "Maybe you've heard a little too much..." Lianbu lifted lightly, her body flickered, and a slender hand was already in front of Ren Fengping. Ren Fengping's figure remained motionless, she stared at Mei Yinxue's palm with a smile, as if she didn't know that Mei Yinxue's palm would kill him immediately. Nangong Ping's eyes were slightly cold, and he walked to Mei Yinxue's side with one step, but seeing that Mei Yinxue had gently put down his palm, he couldn't help but secretly took a breath, and thought to himself: "This person either has superb martial arts, or has Extreme wisdom..." While thinking about it, Ren Fengping suddenly laughed loudly, saying: "I admire! I admire! Concubine Peacock, she really is the phoenix among men..." He paused for a moment of laughter, and then said seriously: "Miss Mei, if you slap your palm just now, then you won't be able to take these four characters." Mei Yinxue said coldly: "You didn't explain what you said, so naturally I won't hurt you..." Ren Fengping suddenly laughed loudly and said: "If I explain what I said, the girl will not mean to hurt me." Mei Yinxue said coldly: "People who know too much will inevitably be killed at any time." Ren Fengping said, "Do I know too much?" Mei Yinxue said: "Exactly!" She kept her eyes on Ren Fengping, because although she still couldn't detect Ren Fengping's intentions at this moment, she really didn't dare to despise this person, and she could treat someone who could kill someone in an instant. Doom's palm turned a blind eye, and his actions and words were absolutely not to be underestimated. Ren Fengping stopped laughing, and said slowly: "If I know too much, then there are at least a thousand people in Xi'an City who know too much." Mei Yinxue's expression changed, and she interrupted: "How do you say that?" Ren Fengping pondered for a while, walked slowly to the window, and said slowly: "Miss Mei has a good face, and her youth does not change. There is no one in the world who can conclude that Miss Mei, who seems to be in her twenties, is from the past." Concubine Peacock', but... I never thought there would be a wandering soul under Brother Nangong's sword, and it went to 'Flying Ring' Wei Qi's place..." He paused, pointed at the night under the starry sky outside the window, loudly Said: "Brother Nangong, Miss Mei, have you ever seen the sky above Xi'an City, and at this moment there is a chilling sword aura! A murderous aura!" Before he finished speaking, Nangong Ping and Mei Yinxue's hearts trembled, and they couldn't help but follow his fingers to look at them. Although the night outside the window was still the same as before, there seemed to be a chill in their hearts. . Nangong Ping murmured: "The wandering soul at the bottom of the sword..." Mei Yinxue said in a deep voice: "Could it be... Could it be that Ye Liuge is not dead?" Ren Fengping sighed, nodded slightly, and said, "Although he was seriously injured, he is still alive..." Nangong Ping was speechless for a while, then slowly said: "Isn't he still dead!" In his tone, although he was surprised, there was also some relief. Ren Fengping looked at him in surprise, as if she felt that this young man's thoughts were indeed somewhat different from ordinary people. "Although Ye Liuge is not dead from his injuries, Lu Tianming has already gone to Zhongnan." He turned his eyes and said loudly: "At this moment, 'Feihuan' Wei Qi has mobilized all the strength of Xi'an City to search for the two Brother, although I am powerless to help, I can't bear to sit and watch, so I came here specially... Mr. Nangong, you are weak and outnumbered, not to mention your senior brother and sister-in-law are also unforgiving towards you, according to me See you..." He pondered for a while, and saw Mei Yinxue's two ice-like eyes staring at him for a moment, but Nangong Ping said slowly: "Brother, I advise you to avoid it for now? " Ren Fengping turned her eyes, but before she could answer, Mei Yinxue suddenly cut her mouth and said: "Wrong!" An elusive smile flashed across her face. Ren Fengping said: "This is exactly what I mean, how can the girl say it wrong!" Mei Yinxue said: "If I were you, I should persuade him not to cause such disputes, because anyone who is stained with cold-blooded Mei Yinxue will have no good results." She sneered and sneered: "Do you want to say these things to him in your heart?" Without waiting for Ren Fengping to open her mouth, she turned to Nangong Ping and said, "If I were you, I would have walked far away immediately, and even ran to that 'Flying Ring' Wei Qi, and told him that you and Mei Yinxue have nothing to do with each other. No relationship……" There was a sudden pause in her voice, and she looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, "Mei Yinxue, Mei Yinxue..." She laughed wildly and said, "You are such an unfortunate and stupid person, you clearly know that people in the martial arts , will not let you go, because you are not 'chivalrous', because of your pitiful and hateful temper... But you should also be proud and satisfied, for you, a lonely woman, those chivalrous ways have actually dispatched alluring forces force!" Nangong Ping's lips were tightly closed, his face was dull, and Ren Fengping's eyes flashed with a strange light. Looking at this abnormally stunning woman, she saw her wild laughter, which suddenly stopped, and she sat heavily on the chair. She became surprisingly indifferent and resolute, as if all her emotions had been vented in that burst of wild laughter, and her blood seemed to have really become as cold as running water. The moment after the wild laughter is always the quietest and coldest moment in the world... Ren Fengping frowned slightly, and thought to herself: "This pair of men and women are neither like lovers nor like friends, but I don't know what is the relationship?" Turning to look at Nangongping, she muttered: "It's not too late, I don't know brother What are Taiwan's plans?" Nangong Ping smiled slightly, and said: "Brother's kindness, I appreciate it..." Ren Fengping said: "There is a huge disparity between the widow and the widow, brother, you might as well avoid the sharp edge for now." "There is a huge disparity between the widows..." Nangong Ping said in a deep voice, "But the Zhongnan faction is known as a famous family, so it won't be possible to bully the widows without waiting for others to argue and explain!" Ren Fengping sighed secretly, and thought: "The cold-blooded concubine has been notorious for a long time, what else can I explain..." But he murmured: "This..." Mei Yinxue sneered suddenly, and said: "I never thought that you look smart, but you are actually so stupid. That kind of character who pretends to be a righteous person has already hated me to the bone, will you give me a chance to explain?" Ren Fengping thought to herself: "She is quite self-aware..." Turning her gaze, Nangong Ping's expression did not change, and she couldn't help but secretly wondered: "This person seems to be gentle on the outside but tough on the inside, but somehow he is so patient with her? " While thinking about it, he suddenly heard a slight cough from outside the door, and Wei Chengen had already walked in. Seeing that there was suddenly another person in the room, he seemed a little strange, but his years of sophistication and experience made him look surprised. The color flashed by, and he just bowed his head and said: "I didn't dare to bother you, young master, but—" he showed a humble smile on his face, and continued: "Young fellows, and Xi'an Some merchants in the city heard that the young master is coming, and they all came to see him, and they held a banquet at the 'Tianchang Tower' on the street to invite the young master and this girl, I wonder if the young master can honor you?" Nangong Ping pondered for a while, then glanced at Mei Yinxue, Mei Yinxue raised her eyebrows, although she didn't say anything, the meaning behind her words was self-evident, but Nangong Ping said in a deep voice: " Do you want to go now?" Wei Chengen said: "If it's convenient for you..." Nangong Ping said: "Let's go!" Wei Chengen was overjoyed and said: "Lead the way, little one!" He stepped back with his head bowed, and walked out backwards, his expression was overjoyed, because his young master gave him such a big face. Ren Fengping's heart trembled. At this moment, all the martial arts masters in the city are searching for Nangong Ping and the "cold-blooded concubine". He really didn't expect that Nangong Ping would agree to this invitation, so he couldn't help sighing secretly, thinking: "This person It's not that they have extraordinary courage, I'm afraid they are hopelessly pedantic..." Nangong Ping smiled slightly, as if he had read his mind, and said: "Is Ren Daxia interested in going to have a drink together?" Ren Fengping hurriedly cupped her hands and said: "Brother, please go ahead." She couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and continued: "My little brother really can't understand what Xiongtai wants..." Nan Gongping said: "My teacher often teaches my younger brother that when things are imminent, it is better to go forward instead of shrinking back." He smiled: "Shenlong's disciples, since childhood and growing up, have never known that there is an 'escape' in the world. Two words!" Ren Fengping bowed her head in silence for a while, then sighed slightly: "Brother may be right." Nangong Ping said: "But brother's kindness, my younger brother has five inner feelings, if we meet again in the future, we should seek a quick reunion with brother." Ren Fengping said: "Since my younger brother entered the customs, the only biggest achievement is to recognize a young knight like Xiongtai. If you don't give up on Xiongtai, there will be many things to borrow in the future—" There is a sudden sigh in the voice , Said: "Brother today, please take care of yourself." Wei Wei clasped his fists, turned around, and flew out of the window! Nangong Ping watched his figure disappear, sighed slightly: "This man is really a man!" Mei Yinxue sneered, and said leisurely: "Is that so?" Stepping up to the door, she suddenly looked back and said with a smile: "I'm so strange, why did you send it to..." Nangong Ping twitched his eyebrows slightly, and said: "If you don't go..." Mei Yinxue said: "Since you are like this, why should I take matters of life and death to heart? Alas!... To be honest, I am already very tired of life." She raised her hand and brushed her temples, and walked away slowly go out. Nangong Ping was stunned for a moment, only to hear a soft sigh, and came from outside the door: "If I were them, I would not have given you a chance to speak." However, with this pessimistic sigh, Nangong Ping walked out of the door, but his steps were surprisingly firm! ※※※ The rain has stopped. The night market in Xi'an City is surprisingly prosperous, but the leisurely crowd walking in the night market on weekdays has changed into groups of martial arts masters with long swords hanging from their waists and dignified faces today. The scabbard slapped the boots, making a dull, shocking sound. The light reflected the bronze mouth of the sword hilt, shining on the eyes of people on both sides. The colorful sword tassels fluttered with the wind, occasionally there was a wild laugh or two, breaking through the whispers all around. Strange walks, stepping on strange streets. The icy palm, holding the icy hilt tightly... Suddenly, there was a commotion everywhere, because in their eyes, suddenly appeared a majestic young man in brocade robes, and a peerless woman in light clothes. "Nangong Ping!" "Cold-blooded concubine!" In the eyes of martial arts masters all over the street, these two amazing names were exchanged like lightning. Nangong Pingping smiled, and walked slowly with Wei Chengen, his surprisingly calm and calm, shocked the hearts of all martial arts heroes! Hundreds of astonished eyes followed his firm steps silently. With a sudden "choke", a slender swordsman suddenly pulled out his sword, the sword light was lingering, and the sword energy was cold, but Nangong Ping didn't even look sideways at him, and the group of heroes around him didn't respond either. The young swordsman looked left and right, and his steps were frozen. Mei Yinxue looked around, her temples fluttered, with a sweet smile on her face, she walked lightly beside Nangongping, and she didn't know how many eyes she attracted.Wherever she glanced at, there must be many martial arts masters, with their heads down, arranging their clothes. The pessimist thought to himself: "Could it be that I'm disheveled? Could it be that I look ridiculous? Why is she smiling at me?" The optimist thought to himself: "Ah, she is smiling at me. Could it be that she has taken a fancy to me?" The martial arts masters all over the street thought that Mei Yinxue's smile was for herself. Seeing their expressions, the charming smile on Mei Yinxue's face became even sweeter! The decoration of the Tianchang Building is splendid, and the smile on the east side of the shop standing at the entrance is also brilliant, because the young master of the "Nangong Family" unexpectedly came here today. Nan Gongping and Mei Yinxue walked slowly side by side and walked up to the restaurant. Although the humble owner of the restaurant restrained himself in his heart, he still couldn't help but look at Mei Yinxue. The banquet in the restaurant has already been held, and the people sitting at the tables are all wealthy businessmen in Xi'an city. On weekdays, their demeanors are all arrogant, but today, they are all waiting humbly, because the coming The person who is here is the chaebol among the chaebols, the prince of the Golden Kingdom! There was a soft sound on the stairs, and all the rich merchants on the floor stood up, but they all lowered their heads, as if the prince of this merchant country would have a golden brilliance on his body, and it would dazzle their eyes! 南宫平微微一笑，抱拳四揖，他们抬头一看，不觉又惊得呆了，但这次使他们惊慑的，却是南宫平飒爽的神姿，以及梅吟雪绝代的风华。 此刻酒楼下的街道上，静止着的人群，却突然动乱了起来，“南宫平与梅冷血上了天长楼。”这语声一句接着一句，在街道上传播了起来，霎眼间便传入了“天冥道人”以及“飞环”韦七的耳里。 片刻之后，一队沉肃的队伍，便步入了这条笔直的大街，沉重的脚步，沙沙地踏着冰冷的街道，每个人的面目上，俱都似笼罩着一层寒霜，便自四散在街上的武林群豪，立刻俱都加入了这队行列，庄严、肃穆而又紧张地朝着“天长酒楼”走去！ 酒楼上的寒暄声、欢笑声、杯箸声……一声声随风传下。 酒楼下，挺胸而行的“终南”掌门“天冥道长”，却向身旁的“飞环”韦七道：“这南宫平闻道乃是大富人家之子……” 韦七道：“正是！” 吕天冥冷笑一声，道：“他若想以财富来动人心，那么他死期必已不远了，武林之中，岂容这般纨绔子弟混迹？” “飞环”韦七道：“此人年纪轻轻，不但富可敌国，而且又求得'不死神龙'这般的师傅，正是财势兼备，他正该好好的做人，想不到他看来虽然英俊，其实却有豺狼之心，真正叫人叹息。” 吕天冥冷笑道：“这南宫平白作孽不可活，就连他的同门手足，也都看他不起！羞于与他为伍。” “飞环”韦七长叹一声，道：“但无论如何，今日我们行事，当以'梅冷血'为主要对象，南宫平么，多少也要顾及一下'不死神龙'的面子。” 吕天冥道：“这也得先问问他与梅冷雪是何关系！” 他们的脚步虽是沉重而缓慢，但他们的语声，却是轻微而迅快的。 霎眼之间，这肃穆的行列，便已到了“天长楼”下，吕天冥微一挥手，群豪身形闪动，便将这座辉煌的酒楼围了起来，显见是要杜绝南宫平与梅吟雪的退路，这举动惊动了整个西安城，无数人头，都拥挤到这笔直的大街上，使闻讯而来的官府差役，竟无法前行一步。 这变乱是空前的…… 手里拈着针线的少女，放下了手中的针线，惶声问道：“什么事？” 怀里抱着婴儿的妇人，掩起了慈母的衣襟，惶声问道：“什么事？” 早已上床的迟暮老人，揉一揉惺忪的睡眼，惊起问道：“什么事？” 做工的放下工作，读书的放下书卷，饮食中的人们放下了杯盏，赌博中的人们放下赌具，匆匆跑到街上，互相暗问：“什么事？” 有的以为是集体的抢劫，因为大家都知道，今夜西安城中的富商巨贾都在天长楼上，于是西安城里的大富人家，惊乱比别家更胜三分。 有的以为是武林豪强的寻仇血斗，因为他们知道领头的人是“西安大豪”韦七太爷，于是西安城里的谨慎人家，俱都掩起了门户。 焦急的公差，在人丛外呼喊着，挥动着掌中的铁尺！ 惊惶的妇人在人丛中呼喝着，找寻他们失散的子女…… 古老的西安城，竟然发生了这空前的动乱，而动乱中的人却谁也想不到，这一切的发生，仅不过只是为了一个女子，一个美丽的女子——“冷血妃子”！ 但是，酒楼上，辉煌的灯光下，梅吟雪却是安静而端庄的。 她甚至微带着羞涩与微笑，静静地坐在神色自若地南宫平身侧。 酒楼下街道上的动乱，已使得这富商们的脸上俱都变了颜色，心中都在惊惶而诧异地暗问自己：“这是怎么回事？”只是在这安详的南宫公子面前不敢失礼，是以直到此刻还没有人走到窗口去望一下。 突地，下面传来一声大喝，接着四下风声飒然，这酒楼四面的窗户，窗台上便突地涌现出无数条人影，像是鬼魅般无声地自夜色中现身，数十道冰冷的目光，穿过四下惊慌的人群，笔直地望在梅吟雪与南宫平的身上。 "who?" "What's up?" 一声声惊惶而杂乱的喝声，一声声接连响起，然后，所有的喝问俱都被这些冰冷的目光冻结，于是一阵死一般的静寂，便沉重地落了下来。 南宫平轻叹一声，缓缓长身而起，缓缓走到梯口前，像是一个殷勤的主人，在等候着他迟到的客人似的。 楼梯上终于响起一阵沉重的脚步声，吕天冥、韦七目光凝重，面如青铁，缓步登楼，灯光将他们的人影，投落在楼梯上，使得它们看来扭曲得有如那酒楼主人的脸！又有如韦七握着的手掌上的筋结。 南宫平微微一笑，长揖到地，道：“两位前辈驾到，在下有失远迎。” “玉手纯阳”吕天冥目光一凛，便再也不看他一眼，缓缓走到梅吟雪犹自含笑端坐着的圆桌前，缓缓坐了下来，缓缓取起面前的酒杯，浅浅啜了一口，四下众人的目光不由自主地随着他的动作而转动，但觉这清新的晚风，突地变得无比地沉重，沉重得令人透不过气来。 只见吕天冥又自浅浅啜了口杯中的酒，目光既不回顾，也没有望向端坐在他对面的梅吟雪，只是凝注着自己雪白的手掌，沉声道：“此刻夜已颇深，各位施主如已酒足饭饱，不妨归去了！” 一阵动乱，一群人杂乱地奔向梯口，像是一群乍逢大赦的死囚，早已忘了平日的谦虚与多礼，争先地奔下楼去，另一群人的目光，却惊诧地望着南宫平。 一个胆子稍大的银楼主人，干咳一声，道：“你们这是怎么回事，无故前来闯席，难道……难道没有王法了么？”他语气虽甚壮，其实语声中已起了颤抖。 吕天冥冷笑一声，头也不回，道：“你若不愿下去，尽管留在这里！” 那臃肿的银楼主人四望一眼，在这刹那之间，满楼的人俱已走得干干净净，他再望了望四下冰冷的目光，突地觉得有一阵寒意，自脚底升起，匆匆向南宫平抱了抱拳，匆匆奔下楼去。 于是这拥挤的酒楼，刹那间便变得异样地冷清，因为四下窗台上的人们，根本就像是石塑的神像。 “飞环”韦七冷笑一声，凛然望了望孤单地立在自己面前的南宫平，突地大步走到吕天冥身旁，重重坐了下来，劈手一把，取来了一只锡制酒壶，仰首痛饮了几口，目光一抬，梅吟雪却已轻轻笑道：“十年不见，你酒量似乎又进步了些。” 她笑声仍是那么娇柔而镇定，“飞环”韦七呆了一呆，“啪”地一声，将酒壶重重掷在圆桌上，桌上的杯盘碗盏，都被震得四下跌落出去。 南宫平神色不变，缓步走来，突地手腕一沉，接住了一壶热酒，脚步不停，走到梅吟雪身侧，缓缓坐下道：“酒仍温，菜尚热，两位前辈，可要再喝一杯？” “飞环”韦七大喝一声，双手掀起桌面，但吕天冥却轻轻一伸手，压了下来，只听“咯、咯”两响，榆木的桌面，竟被“飞环”韦七的一双铁掌，硬生生捏下两块来。 南宫平面色微变，沉声道：“两位前辈如想饮酒，在下奉陪，两位前辈如无饮酒之意，在下便要告辞了。” “飞环”韦七浓眉一扬，还未答话，吕天冥突地冷冷道：“阁下如要下楼，但请自便。” 梅吟雪轻轻一笑，盈盈站起，道：“那么我们就走吧。” 韦七大喝一声：“你走不得！” 梅吟雪眉梢一挑，诧声道：“我为什么走不得，难道韦七爷要留我陪酒么？” 吕天冥面色阴沉，冷冷道：“姑娘你纵横江湖近三十年，伤了不知多少人命，至今也该活得够了。” 梅吟雪娇声道：“道长须发皆白，难道还没活够，再活下去……哈，人家只怕要叫你老不死了。” “飞环”韦七双目一张，吕天冥却仍然神色不变，微一摆手，止住了韦七的暴怒，自管冷冷说道：“姑娘你今日死后，贫道必定为你设坛作醮，超度你的亡魂，免得那些被你无辜害死的孤魂怨鬼，在鬼门关前向你迫魂索命。”他语声冰冷，最后一段话更是说得鬼气森森。 梅吟雪轻声道：“哦！原来你们今夜是同来杀死我的？” 吕天冥冷冷道：“不敢，只望姑娘你能饮剑自决！” 梅吟雪道：“我饮剑自决！”她满面作出惊奇之色：“为什么？” 吕天冥道：“本座本已不想与你多言，但出家人慈悲为怀，只是你若再如此胡乱言语，本座便只得开一开杀戒了！” 梅吟雪道：“那么你还是快些动手吧，免得我等会说出你的秘密！”她面上还是微微含笑，“天冥道人”阴沉的面色，却突地为之一变。 “飞环”韦七道：“我早说不该与她多话的。”双手一错，只听“当”地一声清响，他掌中已多了一双金光闪闪，海碗般大小的“龙风双环”。 面色凝重的南宫平突地低叱一声，“且慢！” 韦七道：“你也想陪着她一齐死么？”双环一震，面前的酒桌，整张飞了起来。 南宫平袍袖一拂，桌面向外飞去，“砰”地一声击在他身后的墙上，他头也不回，沉声道：“两位匆匆而来，便要制人死命，这算做什么？” 四周的武林群豪，似乎想不到这两人在此刻犹能如此镇定，不禁发出了一阵惊喟之声，楼下的武林豪士见到直到此刻，楼上还没有动静，也不禁起了一阵动乱。 南宫平四眼一望，突地提高声调，朗声道：“今日两位如是仗着人多，以强凌弱，将我等乱剑杀死，日后江湖中难道无人要向两位要一个公道？两位今日若是来要我二人的性命，至少也该向天下武林中人交待明白，我等到底有什么致死的因由！” 他语声清朗，字句锵然，压下了四下杂乱的语声，随风传送到四方。 “天冥道人”冷笑一声，道：“你这番言语，可是要说给四下的武林朋友听的？” 南宫平道：“正是，除非今日武林中已无道义可言，否则你便是天下武林道的盟主，也不能将人命看得如此轻贱！” 四下的武林群豪，方才本是一时热血激动，蜂拥而来，此刻听到南宫平这一番充满正气的言语，俱都不禁暗中心动，立在窗台上的人，也有的轻轻跃了下来。 吕天冥四顾一眼，面上渐渐变了颜色。 梅吟雪娇笑道：“你现在心里是否在后悔，不该与我多说，早就该将我先杀了！”她话声虽尖细，但字字句句，却传得更远。 “飞环”韦七目光闪动，突地仰天大笑起来，道：“你若换了别人，这番话只怕要说得朋友们对我兄弟疑心起来，但你这冷血的女子，再说一千句也是一样，纵然说得天花乱坠，我韦七也不能再为武林留下你这个祸害。” 他目光转向南宫平，“你既已知道她便是'冷血妃子'，还要为她说话，单凭此点，已是该杀，但老夫看在你师傅面上……去去，快些下楼去吧。” 吕天冥道：“你如此护卫于她，难道你与她有着什么不可告人的关系不成？” 南宫平剑眉微剔，怒火上涌，他原以为这“终南”掌教与“飞环”韦七俱是侠义中人，此刻见了这般情况，心中突觉此中大有蹊跷。 四下的武林群豪，听了他两人这般言语，心中又不觉释然，暗道：“是呀，别人还有可说，这'冷血妃子'恶名久著，早已该死，这少年还要如此护着她，想必也不是什么好人了。”其实这些人里根本没有一人真的见过梅吟雪，但人云亦云，却都以为自己观念不错，方自对南宫平生出的一点同情之心，此刻便又为之尽敛，要知群众之心理，自古以来，便是如此，便是十分明理之人，置身群众之中，也往往会身不由主，做出莫名其妙之事。 南宫平暗叹一声，知道今日之事，已不能如自己先前所料想般解决，转目望了梅吟雪一眼，只见她竟仍然面带微笑，竟真的未将生死之事放在心上。 笔下写来虽慢，但当时却绝无容人喘息的机会，南宫平方一沉吟，四下群豪已乱喝道：“多说什么，将他两人一齐做了。” 吕天冥冷冷笑道：“你要的是武林公道，此刻本座只有凭公意处理了！” “飞环”韦七大喝道：“你还不让开么？”双臂一振，右上左下，他神态本极威猛，这一招“顶天立地”摆将出来，更显得神威赫赫，四下群豪哄然喝起彩来。 梅吟雪不动神色，缓缓道：“你一个人上来么？” 韦七心头一凛，突地想起了“冷血妃子”那惊人的武功，呆呆地站在当地，脚步间竟无法移动半步！ 南宫平哈哈笑道：“江湖人物，原来多的是盲从之辈……”言犹未了，四下已响起一片怒喝之声，他这句话实是动了众怒。 梅吟雪娇躯微拧，轻轻道：“随我冲出去。”她神色不变，实是早已成竹在胸，知道对方人数虽多，但反而易乱，凭着自己的武功，必定可以冲出一条血路。 哪知南宫平却傲然立在当地，动也不动一下，朗声大喝道：“住口！”这一声大喝，当真是穿金裂石，四下群豪俱都一震，不由自主地静了下来，只见南宫平目光凛然望向吕天冥，大声道：“不论事情如何，我南宫平都先要请教你这位武林前辈，梅吟雪到底有什么昭彰的劣迹，落在你眼里，她何年何日，在何处犯了不可宽恕的死罪？” 吕天冥想不到直到此刻，他还会有此一问，不觉呆了一呆。 南宫平胸膛起伏，又自喝道：“你若是回答不出，那么你又有什么权力，来代表全体武林？凭着什么来说武林公道？你若是与她有着深仇大恨，以你一派掌门的身份，也只能与她单独了断，便是将她千刀万剐，我南宫平也一无怨言，但你若假公济私，妄言武林公道，借着几句不着边际的言语，一些全无根据的传言，来激动了百十个酒后的武林朋友，便奢言替天行道，作出一副替武林除害之态，我南宫平俱都无法忍受，你便有千百句藉口，千百人的后盾，我南宫平也要先领教领教。” 他滔滔而言，正气沛然，当真是字字掷地，俱可成声。 “飞环”韦七固是闻言色变，四下的武林群豪更是心中怦然，只有“玉手纯阳”吕天冥，面上却仍阴沉得有如窗外的天色，直到南宫平话已说完许久，他才冷冷道：“如此说来，你是在向我挑战的了？” 南宫平朗声道：“正是！” 一个初出师门的少年，竟敢向武林中一大剑派的掌门挑战，这实是足以震动武林之事，四下群豪，不禁又为之骚动起来。 原本拥立在楼下的群豪，此刻竟忍不住一跃而上，有的甚至攀着酒楼的飞檐，探身向内观望，西安城的百姓更是惊慌，官府中的差役也不知城里怎会突地来了这许多武林高手，他们虽与韦七太爷有交，却也担当不起，只得悄悄去转报上峰。 吕天冥目光一扫，见到自己的帮手，此刻竟都成了观众，心中也不觉有些后悔，他却不知道人多误事，乃是必然，又何况这般武林豪土来自四方，宛如一盘散沙，又岂是他能控制得来？当下冷笑一声，缓缓挽起衣袖，一面道：“你既如此猖狂，本座也顾不得以大压小了。” 南宫平冷笑一声，他穿着的虽是大袖袍，但此刻竟未除下。 “飞环”韦七怔了一怔，缓步退了开去。 梅吟雪道：“有趣有趣，这地方若不够大，我再将那边的桌子拉开些。”言语之间，竟似此事乃是别人比武，根本与她毫无关系。 南宫平知她生性如此，心中便也不以为奇，但别人却不禁暗暗惊诧，有的便在心中暗道：“此人当真是无愧为'冷血妃子'！” 有些好事之徒，便真地将四面桌椅拉开，于是十分空阔的酒楼，便显得更加空阔起来。 南宫平、吕天冥身形木立，对面相望，吕天冥自是心安理得，拿定了这少年不是自己的敌手，南宫平心中却不禁有些忐忑，要知他虽有铁胆，但初次面逢强敌，自亦不能免俗，当下暗暗立定心意，开始几招，先得以谨慎为先，暂且要以守为攻。 吕天冥身经百战，见了他目光中的神色，便已测知了他的心意，心中更是稳定，沉声道：“七弟，莫要放走了那妖妇。” 韦七答应一声，梅吟雪笑道：“如此好看的事，我还会舍得走么？” 南宫平不闻不问，吕天冥冷“哼”一声道：“请！” 他毕竟自持身份，还是不愿抢先出手，哪知南宫平已决定以静制动，以守为攻，亦是动也不动。 “飞环”韦七低喝道：“四哥，与这般武林败类，还讲什么客气？” 吕天冥道：“正是！” 纵身一掌，向南宫平肩头拍下！ 他这一招人未着地，手掌便已拍下，左手紧贴胸胁，全未防备自身，全身上下，处处俱是空门，右掌所拍之处，亦非南宫平之要害，名是先攻了一招，其实却等于先让了一着，四下的观众俱是武林好手，怎会看不出来，不禁轰然喝彩。 南宫平微微一惊，想不到这终南掌门竟会击出如此一招。 他到底交手经验不够，心中又早有了不求有功、但求无过的打算，眼看吕天冥这一只白生生的手掌拍来，竟没有乘隙反击，抢得机先，反而身形一缩，闪电般后退了
