Chapter 37 Thirty-seventh round of accidents

When I was young, the wine and food were brought, but the dozens of big men on horseback still stayed on the opposite side of the road, some of them dismounted, but their eyes were still looking at this side for a moment. But Zhan Mengbai already acted like no one else was around, he started eating and drinking, as if he treated these dozens of alive men as if they were dead. Huang Hu murmured: "Brother, younger brother is not afraid, but with dozens of pairs of eyes staring at me and asked me to drink, younger brother really can't take it." Zhan Mengbai smiled and said: "If you treat them as cats and dogs, you can eat them."

Huang Hu was stunned for a while, then suddenly laughed loudly and said: "Not bad..." He raised his glass and drank it down, but then whispered: "Brother is such a hero, younger brother really can't be ashamed." Zhan Meng Bai laughed loudly: "Good brother." Huang Hu said: "With my current skills, it's not a problem to deal with a dozen of such men, but their masterminds are not comparable to these men." Zhan Mengbai smiled and said: "If you lose, then what's the point of using this head as a reward for brother's loyalty, why are you still drinking now, frowning?"

Huang Hu laughed and said: "Not bad..." He raised his glass and drank another cup. The shopkeeper had seen such a chattering and laughing person several times before, and he was already stupefied with shock, and then looked at the dozens of fierce and burly men opposite him, he felt his knees go weak, and he sat down on the chair with a puff, unable to stand up again. It's midsummer at this moment, after two glasses of wine, Zhan Mengbai felt the smell of alcohol rising, and walked outside the store with his lapel on, staring straight at the opposite side. The dozens of big men on the opposite side turned their heads in unison.

Zhanmeng laughed loudly and said: "Such a role is not worth Zhanmou's hands, brother, let's go, there is a good show ahead, what are you and I doing here?" Amidst the loud laughter, Zhan Mengbai and Huang Hu got on their horses, swung their whips with their palms turned, and rode forward. Sure enough, the twenty or so big men jumped onto the saddle in a hurry, whistled lightly in their mouths, swung their whips in their palms, beat their horses and rushed after them. I saw Zhanmeng's white horse running like a dragon, running faster and faster, half an hour later, there were more than 20 riders behind, who were already sweating profusely from exhaustion, and white foam was spraying from the horse's mouth.

Zhan Mengbai still had a calm demeanor, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, until the knights behind him were too close to catch up, but he slowly reined in the reins. The horse walked slowly, but saw the surging river in front of him, and he had reached the east bank of the Qianjiang River. On the shore, a river boat was moored, and several big men were sitting on the bow of the boat. Hearing the clear golden bell, their expressions changed, they turned over and jumped up, looking eastward. At this time, Zhan Mengbai and Huang Hu had already arrived at the shore, and the big man at the bow shouted loudly: "Both of you, please get on board, brothers have been waiting here for a long time."

Huang Hu said in a deep voice: "There must be some tricks on this boat, brother, be careful." Zhanmeng laughed loudly and said, "What are you afraid of? Even if it's a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire, you have to go through it. Could it be that this mere Qianjiang River can drown you and me?" He got off his horse and led the horse to the bow. Those big guys stared at this person and horse, Zhan Mengbai's face darkened, and he said sharply: "What are you looking at? Why don't you hurry up and start the boat?" The big men seemed to be taken aback, and walked away. Huang Hufang got on the boat by himself, the river boat had slowly left the shore, and the twenty or so riders behind also arrived at the shore.

Only the leading knight shouted: "Boys on the ship, we will send the distinguished guests here, and the next thing is yours." A big black-bearded man on the boat raised his hands and shouted: "Guys, just don't worry, nothing will go wrong. There are still people on the opposite bank waiting to receive distinguished guests!" The leading knight nodded and smiled, and suddenly took out a large tube from his arms, unscrewed the lid, and a carrier pigeon flew out of the tube, flapping its wings and flying to the opposite bank. Huang Hu changed his face and said angrily: "What a rampant thief, he didn't avoid your eyes and ears, and yelled loudly in front of us."

Zhan Mengbai had a sneer on his face, holding the sword in his right hand and the saddle in his left hand, the big guys on the boat kept sneaking eyes at this man and horse, quietly talking about something? Huang Hu grew up in the northern country, so he doesn't know water at all. Looking at the surging river and hearing these whispers, he felt dizzy and nervous. He couldn't help comforting himself, and murmured: "Fortunately, brother can swim, otherwise..." Zhan Mengbai smiled slightly and said, "How do you know I know how to swim?" Huang Huqiang smiled and said, "If elder brother can't swim, how can he be so calm?"

Zhan Mengbai smiled and said, "You guessed wrong." Huang Hu was stunned for a moment, and secretly he was even more surprised. He couldn't help sweating secretly, and muttered secretly: "Brother, you are so courageous. If I had known this, I would not have dared to board the boat. If you and I were People are pushed into the middle of the river, isn't there even a person who collects the corpse and reports the news?" Zhan Mengbai smiled slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Look at these big guys, who is so bold to fight in front of you and me?" Huang Hu still couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive, looking around, he saw that this river boat had actually crossed the middle of the river and approached the opposite bank.

I saw red silk fluttering on the opposite bank, and sure enough there were more than twenty knights armed with swords, their eyes were shining, waiting on the bank. The river boat was moored, and two big men on the boat walked over, as if they were going to lead the horse for the exhibition dream. Zhan Mengbai's eyes froze, and he yelled: "You can move this horse too? Get back." The two looked at each other, and they retreated obediently. Huang Hu laughed triumphantly and said, "Have you just seen my elder brother's majesty?" He slapped the man on the shoulder with his back, laughed and stepped on the river bank, keeping his feet on the ground, he immediately felt more at ease.

When the knights on the shore saw the river boat berthed, they released a white dove. A big man rushed to Zhan Mengbai's body, bowed and said: "Your honored guest, please get on your horse. I will wait here and lead the way for you two." Zhan Mengbai sneered, "Your master is very polite." The big man lowered his head and didn't dare to open his mouth, Huang Hu wondered secretly: "I didn't expect these people to be so respectful to me, and I don't know what tricks are hidden in it?" Zhan Mengbai yelled in a low voice: "Let's go!" and jumped onto the saddle. The wind in the river was strong, and these twenty or so riders surrounded Zhan and Huang all the while without moving forward or backward. After walking for a while, Huang Hu couldn't help waving his whip and shouted angrily: "Go away, maybe you will escape?" The big man had a whip on his shoulder, but he only grinned wryly, pulled away the rein, and walked a little farther, at this time there was a rider galloping along the road. Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, I saw that the horse was completely black without the slightest variegation, and the man on the horse was also covered in black, his eyes moved, he reached out and pressed the saddle suddenly, flew up, and shouted sharply: "What is it?" How dare you be so rude to my brothers?" With arms outstretched, he threw himself straight at Huang Hu. Huang Hu laughed wildly and said, "Did you come here now? You guys have been waiting for you for a long time!" With his legs shrunk, he stood on the saddle and swung his palms at the man in black. The palms intersected, and both of them fell to the ground. Huang Huxuan raised his eyebrows and said, "What a boy, you have strong hands." The black-clothed man glared at Huang Hu with his beard and thick eyebrows, and said sharply: "Try this palm again." He stretched out his palm and hit Huang Hu's chest directly. At this moment dozens of riders had stopped, Zhan Mengbai's complexion had changed. The big man with a whip on his shoulder opened his arms and shouted wildly: "Master, don't do anything, these two are the distinguished guests of the second son and the third girl." The man in black froze for a moment, abruptly withdrew his palms, stepped back, glanced up and down at Zhan and Huang, and said in a low voice, "Are those two people?" The big man nodded, before he could speak, the man in black had already "hummed", jumped up again, and said coldly: "For the sake of my sister, please forgive me this time." Huang Hu scolded angrily: "What are you talking about? Who knows your sister?" Although he was about to fight back, the man in black had already caught up to the black-braided horse, shouted loudly, hit the horse's butt with his palms, and left in a hurry. Huang Hu cursed: "What is this? Who is your master?" The big man said: "Could it be that you two don't know that my master is..." All of a sudden, only to hear Qiantu's hoofbeats loudly, and dust heads rose. The big man smiled and said, "I'm afraid this is my master." Zhan Mengbai and Huang Hu couldn't help shaking their hearts, they held the handle of the knife with their backhands, and the twenty or so riders immediately stepped aside to make way for a path in the middle. Looking around, I saw red silk with knife handles flying on both sides of the road, dust billowing in front, and dozens of horses galloping behind. Zhan Mengbai and Huang Huzheng were caught between these hundred riders, Zhan Mengbai felt his blood rushing up, he was about to draw out his iron sword and fight to the death with the enemy who killed the He family brothers. In the smoke and dust in front of him, a loud and high-pitched voice shouted: "The second son is here..." Dozens of knights in front, back, left, and right immediately turned over and slid off their saddles. Among the loud and clear voices, there was only one rider, who came straight towards him. The man on horseback was covered in brocade clothes and his riding skills were excellent. He stood on the saddle from a distance, opened his arms and shouted loudly, "Is Brother Zhan coming? I have to wait so hard for my little brother." Zhan Mengbai couldn't help being stunned, Huang Hu asked in surprise, "Why is he a friend of the elder brother?" The brocade-clothed knight flew over and landed in front of Zhan Mengbai's horse with a smile on his face. Zhan Mengbai's eyes moved, and he couldn't help blurting out: "So it's Brother Tang." This knight in brocade is actually the black swallow of the "Tang Sect in Central Shu"!It was really beyond Zhan Mengbai's expectation, and he was speechless for a while. Hei Yanzi opened her arms and said with a loud laugh, "It's been three or two months since we left the grassland. Brother Zhan, you are indeed too late." Before Zhan Mengbai could speak, Huang Hu had strode up to Hei Yanzi, and shouted, "Don't make friends with my elder brother, 'Laoshan Sanyan' was hurt by your subordinate?" Hei Yanzi said: "Not bad, but..." Huang Hu yelled, punched it directly, and said sharply: "My boy, even if you are my elder brother's friend, I won't spare you this time." Hei Yanzi dodged the punch, waved his hands and shouted: "Brother, take your time, the three brothers of the He family are living in a humble house and dying..." Huang Hu stopped suddenly, and shouted: "What? You said they are not dead?" Hei Yanzi laughed and said, "Since Brother Zhan knew that this 'Purple Qilin' was acquired by Brother Zhan, he treated Brother He and Brother Jin as honored guests, how dare you be so rude." Huang Hu was stunned, and said: "My eldest brother, this horse originally belonged to your family?" Hei Yanzi smiled and said, "If I had known earlier that it was brother Zhan who took it, then nothing would happen." Huang Hu said in a loud voice: "The horse belongs to your family. It is an upright matter for your family to come and return it. Why are you waiting so sneakily, hiding your head and showing your tail?" Hei Yanzi smiled wryly and said: "This horse has some secrets that cannot be known to outsiders, so the people in this sect cover their faces, presumably to offend brother?" Huang Hu sneered and said: "No wonder those people's martial arts moves are self-contained. They are all members of the famous 'Tang Sect'. If they don't escape quickly, I'm afraid I..." Zhan Mengbai also got off the horse, he didn't want him to continue talking, he laughed and said: "Young brother was in a hurry, and accidentally snatched the horse from brother Tang's family, you really deserve to die." He handed over the reins with a smile, and said with a smile: "At this moment, the property will be returned to the original owner, but I hope brother Tang can forgive the crime of ignorance..." Hei Yanzi laughed and said, "My own brother, do you still have to distinguish so clearly? There are as many good horses in the stables as possible that are better than this 'Purple Kylin'. Brother Zhan just rides them." Suddenly he stopped laughing, and whispered: "But brother Zhan did come a bit too late, not only the brothers of the He family were anxious to wait, but the little brother was also eager to wait." Zhan Mengbai said: "Brother Tang, do you have something to tell my younger brother?" Hei Yanzi turned his eyes and said: "It's inconvenient to talk here. When I get to the humble house, I will tell you." Consciously or unintentionally, he stretched out his hand to take the rein from Zhan Mengbai's palm, and said with a smile: "My little brother's horse, I don't know what to do. Seeing that it is under this 'Purple Qilin', Brother Zhan doesn't need to dislike it, so please accept it." He waved his hand, and a big man led his mount, but he himself jumped on the "Purple Qilin" saddle that Zhan Mengbai rode. Zhan Mengbai's thoughts turned, and he thought to himself: "If there is no great secret on this horse, Black Swallow will never take it back in such a hurry..." After thinking about it, he thought again: "He and I were acquaintances by chance, but judging by his expression at the moment, it seems that he has something important to entrust to me. Isn't this another strange thing?" While thinking about it, I heard Huang Hu urging: "Hurry up, hurry up, if something happens to my three Brother He, you don't want to be safe." Hei Yanzi smiled slightly, and said: "The humble house is not far ahead, you can see the He family brothers right away." Huang Hu had already swung his whip and rushed forward. Dozens of big men in strong attire also got on their horses and walked forward. These dozens of riders fell off their horses at the same time and got on their horses at the same time, but they didn't hear the slightest commotion. Hei Yanzi galloped side by side beside Zhan Mengbai, with a smile on his face all the time, although Huang Hu provoked him repeatedly, he didn't seem to take it to heart at all. Zhan Mengbai was secretly surprised: "This Black Swallow was so arrogant in the past, but he has become so polite today, but he doesn't know why he wants to ask me for it?" The horses moved forward, the smoke and dust billowed, the hooves sounded like rain, Zhan Mengbai's heart was full of doubts, but it was inconvenient to ask for a while. After running for about an hour, he saw that there were suddenly more people on the road, and everyone was full of vigor, as if they were heroes of the martial arts world. When these people saw Hei Yanzi, they greeted Hei Yanzi with smiles and clasped fists from a distance, and some people kept looking sideways at Zhan Mengbai and whispering to each other. They have different accents, they come in groups of three or four, obviously they came from all over the world, Zhan Mengbai couldn't help but muttered: "My little brother came here for the first time, I didn't expect that the road in the middle of Sichuan is so lively." Hei Yanzi said: "These friends are here for congratulations." Zhan Mengbai looked sideways and said, "Whose happy event?" Hei Yanzi let out a long sigh and said, "My little brother is going to get married soon." Zhan Mengbai clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Congratulations, brother." After a long while, he couldn't help but said again: "Brother's great joy is coming, and he should be happy, why is he sighing so long?" Hei Yanzi let out another long sigh, leaned over suddenly, and whispered in Zhan Mengbai's ear: "My little brother only hopes that brother Zhan can help me." Zhan Mengbai said: "What's the matter?" Hei Yanzi said: "Little brother made an appointment for this marriage. It's hard to say. In fact, I have someone else in mind. If brother Zhan sympathizes with me, he should give me a good word." Zhan Mengbai Daqi said: "Brother's family affairs, how can I talk too much?" Hei Yanzi showed a smile and said: "Brother Zhan may have forgotten, in half a month, brother Zhan will also..." Suddenly there was a sudden sound of horseshoes, and they rushed towards him. A loud accent shouted far away: "The old ancestor was anxious to see Mr. Zhan, and asked the second son why he didn't take Mr. Zhan back." Hei Yanzi changed his color and shouted: "Reporting to the ancestors, Mr. Zhan will be here soon." He smiled sideways and said: "You and I, let's go, if it is late, my younger brother can't afford it." Zhan Mengbai frowned slightly, and was even more astonished in his heart, he saw the horses galloping all around, all speeding up, under the clouds in front of him, the shadow of the green mountain was faintly visible. After running for another half an hour, a colorful archway suddenly appeared on the road, resplendent in gold and jade, hung with red and colored festoons, more than three feet high. At this moment, it was already dusk, and the red lights on all sides of the archway were tall and bright, reflecting the four large Chinese characters written in gold powder on the archway: "Tang and Qin marriage". After passing the archway, you can see wooden tables with tea and face towels on both sides of the road from time to time, as well as some men in long clothes who receive guests. When these people saw Hei Yanzi and Zhan Meng Bai Fei riding past, they couldn't help whispering, and at the same time, a mysterious smile appeared on the corners of their mouths. Zhan Mengbai knew that the world-famous Tang Sect in the middle of Sichuan was already in front of him. Although he has heard all kinds of legends about the "Tang Sect in the middle of Shu" for a long time, he has never heard anyone in the Jianghu refer to what this family of hidden weapons that has been famous for a hundred years looks like. When he got here, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous. I saw a stream meandering from the hillside, and at the end there was a cross flow, the color of the water was muddy yellow, and there were bursts of heat faintly emitting from the flow. Zhanmeng Bai Fang was surprised, but Black Swallow pointed and smiled: "This is the rumored hot spring water, Brother Zhan must have seen it for the first time, right?" He pointed to a huge mountain cave in the distance, and continued: "Over there is the place where our sect refines hidden weapons. Using hot spring water to temper hidden weapons is the secret of our sect." Zhan Mengbai heard that the well-known and feared "Tangmen" poison hidden weapon was tempered here, and he couldn't help being terrified by it. Hei Yanzi went on to say: "Except for the direct disciples of our sect, and those who swear a heavy oath, no one can enter the place of refining hidden weapons. Brother Zhan, you might as well go and watch it when you have time." Zhan Mengbai was stunned for a moment, and thought to himself: "He keeps saying that the place where hidden weapons are made is hard for outsiders to see, why does he want to take me there to see it?" Huang Hu looked around, but couldn't help urging: "Where are the He family brothers? Why can't we see them until now?" Hei Yanzi waved his whip and pointed to the front, and said with a smile: "When you get there, you can see not only the 'Three Geese on Laoshan', but also many heroes who have been famous for a long time." Zhan Mengbai and Huang Hu followed where his whip pointed. I saw a huge stone house standing in the setting sun of the western sky, surrounded by trees on all sides, and the atmosphere was really grand and open. The forest was also full of red lights, a woman in red was standing in front of the forest, staring at it, saw Zhan Mengbai Sanqi approaching, but turned around and left. Hei Yanzi smiled slightly, got off the horse, and repeatedly warned a man in a long coat beside him, and the man led the "purple unicorn" out of the forest. At this time, the sound of laughter in the stone house could be faintly heard. Hei Yanzi stretched out his hand and pulled Zhan Mengbai's wrist, and said with a slight smile: "At this moment, the hall of the humble house is full of guests, all waiting to see Brother Zhan's demeanor." While speaking, Zhan Mengbai was already pulling Zhan Mengbai towards the stone house. Huang Hu snorted and said, "If you don't let me, I will go too." I saw that the stone house has no courtyard walls, only a long corridor, surrounded by huge stone pillars, supporting the eaves, making the stone house even more ancient and solemn. At this time, not only are there lights and festoons in front of the corridor, but the lights in the house are even more brilliant. The eight long-clothed men stood side by side at the door, welcoming the guests with smiles, and when they saw the black swallow striding forward, they all shouted in unison: "The second son is here." The commotion in the hall immediately weakened. Zhan Mengbai couldn't help himself, and was pulled in by the black swallow, but felt that thousands of eyes were looking at him, he couldn't help feeling panic, and lowered his head. Under one's feet is a strangely long red felt, leading straight to the end of this unusually wide hall, crowded with people on both sides, it is unknown how many martial arts heroes there are. Hei Yanzi dragged Zhan Mengbai across the red felt, just now the man in black with swallow's chin and ring around his neck was already striding towards him accompanied by an old man in his fifties in long gown. The old man in long gown had burning eyes, he glanced at Zhan Mengbai like lightning, nodded slowly, stood with his hands behind his back, and didn't speak. Although his demeanor is gentle and refined, there is an unattainable arrogance in his expression, and his eyes are sharp as a knife. Zhan Mengbai puffed up his chest, looked straight into his eyes without flinching, but secretly thought in his heart: "This person must be the contemporary head of this family of hidden weapons?" Hei Yanzi tugged on his clothes quietly, and said with a smile: "This is my father." Zhan Mengbai clasped his fists slightly, and said in a loud voice: "My lord, Zhan Mengbai, came here with his younger brother Huang Hu. One is to accuse the crime of stealing a horse, and the other is to inquire about the 'Laoshan Sanyan' He brothers." The face of the old man in the long coat sank slightly, and he turned around with a flick of his sleeves, the eyes of the ring-eyed boy in black stared, and a look of shock and anger appeared on his face. Hei Yanzi panicked and said, "Brother Zhan, why don't you kneel down and beg my father?" Zhan Mengbai turned pale and said angrily: "Kneel begging? What are you begging for?" Hei Yanzi paused and said, "Oh, Brother Zhan, you... Could it be that you..." Suddenly Huang Hu laughed loudly and said: "Brother He, Brother Jin, you are really not dead, you are really here, I want to die little brother." Zhan Mengbai suddenly turned around, only to see that "Three Geese on Laoshan" and Golden Eagle had squeezed out from the crowd, and Huang Hu had already laughed and rushed to hug him. Although these four people were full of surprises, their expressions were very haggard, obviously recovering from serious injuries, especially "Silver Goose" He Junxia, ​​whose complexion was sallow. As soon as Zhan Mengbai grasped He Junxia's palm, he didn't know whether it was surprise, joy, or gratitude, but he felt a lump in his throat and couldn't speak. Instead, He Junxia laughed and said: "Brother Zhan, don't worry, my brother has enjoyed the honor of Brother Zhan, and he ate well and slept well here, and lived a comfortable life." Zhan Mengbai said sadly: "But...but..." He Junxia patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhan, don't say anything, but I have something surprising, I want to tell Brother Zhan." He didn't wait for Zhan Mengbai to speak, then smiled quietly again: "Brother Zhan, do you know whose daughter this brother Tang is newly married to?" Zhan Mengbai shook his head, and said, "Brother Tang's marriage, my younger brother only found out today." He Junxia smiled and said: "Brother Zhan never imagined that the bride of the Tang Mansion is Qin Qi, the only daughter of that 'miracle doctor' Qin Slender Man." Zhan Mengbai couldn't help being startled again, but the black swallow came over and tugged on his clothes, and said in a low voice: "My father is already angry, Brother Zhan, what's wrong with you..." Zhan Mengbai said in embarrassment: "If your father wants to get angry, what can I do?" Hei Yanzi was stunned, staring and changing color: "Brother Zhan, have you really forgotten?" Zhan Mengbai said: "What did you forget? Next..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard low voices coming from behind the stone house, saying: "The old ancestor is here... The old ancestor is here..." One sound after another, from far to near. The hall was immediately silent, Hei Yanzi, father, son and brothers all lowered their heads. Only an old voice said sharply: "Where, where..." Then, the fire phoenix covered in red clothes quietly came out from the back of the hall, pushing an extremely delicate cart. There was a pile of brocade mattresses on the wheelbarrow, and a white-haired old man dressed in brocade clothes sat obliquely. His thin palms were like bird claws, and he kept slapping the handrail of the wheelbarrow. Halfway down, the old man still asked sharply: "Where...where..." Huo Fenghuang leaned down, whispered a few words in the old man's ear, raised his head, looked at Zhan Mengbai and smiled, then lowered his head again. The long-clothed old man bowed his head and smiled apologetically, "Why did the old ancestor come out?" The white-haired old man didn't even look at him, he picked up a piece of fudge and chewed it in his mouth, but his eyes had already fixed on Zhan Mengbai. Although his whole body was lifeless, his eyes were unstoppable. Although Zhan Mengbai was blushing, he still refused to lower his head. The white-haired old man suddenly said sharply: "Did you take the purple unicorn?" Zhan Meng Bai said loudly: "Not bad." The white-haired old man said: "You stole my horse, what are you going to do?" Zhan Mengbai pondered for a while, and Hei Yanzi fell to the ground and said: "Old ancestor, those who don't know are not guilty, he..." The white-haired old man patted the handrail and said angrily, "Get out, get out, don't talk too much, the farther you get out, the better." Hei Yanzi's face was ashen, and he walked backwards as expected. Zhan Mengbai puffed up his chest and said loudly: "Zhan is fully responsible for the crime of seizing the horse, but it has nothing to do with He's Kunzhong, so what if your family hurt them?" The white-haired old man stared at him for a long while, then suddenly burst out laughing, took another piece of fudge, put it in his mouth, nodded and said, "Okay...okay..." Suddenly he yelled softly: "Go!" He didn't see any movement in his palm, but there were five winds, hitting Zhan Mengbai's upper and lower five big acupoints directly. The sound of the wind was sharp and swift, almost blinding. Shocked, Zhan Mengbai swung his shoulders and turned around, avoided two points, and kicked the point below, with both palms full of strength, he caught the last two hidden weapons. The urgency of the figure and the quick reaction are also difficult for the eyes to see. Everyone felt a blur in front of their eyes, two winds, had already brushed past Zhan Mengbai's side, going straight through the hall, falling far outside the door. Zhan Mengbai's palm was filled with the strength of the six yangs, he squeezed it harder, but his palm felt sticky and wet, sweet and greasy, and the hidden weapon was actually five pieces of jelly candy. He couldn't help but tremble slightly: "This old man has such a powerful hidden weapon technique." The people in the hall were even more terrified, and thought to themselves: If Zhan Mengbai were replaced by me, I'm afraid it would be difficult to avoid these five pieces of gummies again. The white-haired old man chuckled and said: "Okay, yes, with martial arts like yours, my granddaughter won't be a widow...Okay, okay!" Zhan Mengbai was stunned for a moment, and said in shock: "Senior, this... this..." Only then did he think about Huo Fenghuang asking him to propose marriage, but he didn't know how to argue. The long-clothed old man leaned over and smiled apologetically, "Although this young man is good, his temper is too wild and rude. Our ancestors shouldn't make a decision too quickly." The white-haired old man's complexion suddenly sank, he couldn't help slapping the handrail, and said angrily: "When did you change the Tang family's affairs?" The old man in the long coat bowed his head and said, "I dare not..." The white-haired old man said sharply: "I say it's good, and whoever wants you to say more, as long as I don't die, I will be the master of the Tang family's affairs. You are the master, and you can only curse me to die soon." The old man in long gown stepped back again and again, bowed his head and said: "My child dare not..." Although he is so old, in front of this old man, he is still like a naughty boy seeing his strict father. The white-haired old man turned his head, looked at Zhan Mengbai and giggled, and suddenly waved: "Young man, you are fine, come and eat a piece of candy." Zhan Mengbai stayed on the ground in a daze. The white-haired old man beckoned, "Come, come..." Before Zhan Mengbai could answer, Hei Yanzi had already quietly pushed behind him, and Zhan Meng couldn't help but rushed to the front, so he had to take the crispy candy and put it in his mouth. The white-haired old man chuckled and said, "Girl Feng, it's better for your ancestor to love you. He ate this piece of crispy candy, so you don't have to worry anymore." Huo Fenghuang smiled coquettishly: "Old ancestor, you old man..." Suddenly he smiled at Zhan Mengbai again, and said: "Look at you, don't hesitate to kowtow to your ancestor." She seemed to want to look coy and shy, but she was so happy in her heart that she really didn't know how to do it. Zhan Meng's face was red, his ears were red, he was anxious and angry, and said in a low voice: "This... this..." The more anxious and angry he became in his heart, the more speechless he became. All the guests in the hall burst into laughter and applauded, Huang Hu couldn't figure out what was going on, so he naturally came over and said with a smile: "Congratulations, brother..." Zhan Mengbai was full of resentment, at this moment he just said loudly: "Go away." Huang Hu rubbed his head, really confused, and thought to himself: "Is it wrong for me to congratulate you?" The white-haired old man chuckled and said: "The child is afraid of shame, why kowtow?" He waved his hands around, and said with a sharp smile: "Everyone has my grandson's wedding wine in two days, don't forget to wait for my granddaughter's wedding wine before leaving." He took a piece of crispy candy in his mouth, and said with a smile: "Young girl Feng, don't leave, just stay here, aren't you afraid of embarrassment?" Huo Fenghuang let out a "sigh", pushed the wheeled cart, and ran in in small steps. All the guests in the hall got up and saw them off, and they all said loudly: "Congratulations, ancestor." Zhan Mengbai just woke up like a dream, and shouted anxiously: "Senior, please stop for a while." His shoulders shook slightly, and he waited to catch up with big strides. Unexpectedly, there was a blur in front of him, the old man in long gown had already blocked his way, he said coldly: "The marriage is settled, why do you still have to catch up?" Zhan Mengbai was so anxious that sweat dripped down his face, and he said in a low voice, "I... I haven't even proposed marriage yet, when did we decide on marriage?" The long-clothed old man sneered and said, "Fortunately, your ancestors have taken a fancy to you. Now that you've got a bargain, do you still want to act good?" Zhan Mengbai said angrily, "What are you talking about?" The old man in the long coat darkened, and said: "Don't forget, Tang Feng is the daughter of an old man, how dare you speak like that in front of Yue Zhang?" Zhan Mengbai was stunned again, all the guests surrounded him, and they all laughed and shouted: "Young guest, why don't you hurry up and kowtow to Master Taishan..." Someone shouted loudly: "Who is going to invite Mrs. Tang out quickly, so that the mother-in-law can see how handsome and beautiful this son-in-law who has never been married is?" Zhan Mengbai was neither anxious nor angry, he really couldn't laugh or cry, the hall was full of laughter, and he was not given a chance to speak at all. The black-clothed boy with eyes and swallows stretched out his hand to pat him on the shoulder, and suddenly laughed loudly: "I am Tang Bao, the iron leopard, and we will be relatives from now on." The guests burst into laughter again, but Hei Yanzi quietly walked to his father's side and said, "Why don't you postpone the wedding date for a few days and come with your sister?" The old man in long clothes said angrily: "Your elder brother went to Hangzhou to welcome his relatives and returned. The bride is already on the way. Can the wedding date be changed at will? Hmph, how confused!" Hei Yanzi sighed and lowered his head, his face was full of melancholy and pain. Suddenly, I saw a man in a long gown, holding a full red letter of greeting, rushed over, bowed and said: "Outside, old hero Du sent a congratulatory instrument, come here to congratulate." The old man in long gown took a look at the greeting card, his indifferent face immediately showed surprise, and said, "He's here too? Please hurry up." Before the words were finished, there was a loud voice at the entrance of the hall, shouting loudly: "Wulin's 'Seven Celebrities', 'Leaving the String Arrow' Old Hero Du has arrived—" Everyone's hearts couldn't help being shocked: "Du Yuntian is here too!" The long-clothed old man flew out to greet him, smiled and clasped his fists and said: "I don't know if Senior Du is coming, I am far away to welcome you, forgive me for my sin." I saw a slender and pale old man, wearing a long blue cloth gown, who was sent in by the crowd like stars. Although there was a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, his expression looked sad and melancholy, and he was much thinner and older than before. Zhan Mengbai saw him alone, and his beloved daughter Du Juan did not accompany him, he felt a little strange, strode to greet him, bowed and said: "Old man." When Du Yuntian saw him, a gleam of joy appeared on his gloomy face, he hurried up to meet him, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhan, you are here, is Juan'er with you?" Zhan Mengbai was stunned for a while, and said: "I have never seen Miss Du before." The smile on Du Yuntian's face suddenly disappeared, he said "Oh" in a daze, and followed the old man in the long gown to the past, and never looked at Zhan Mengbai again. Zhan Mengbai was even more surprised when he saw his distraught appearance, and suddenly heard a light "cough" from behind, and the black swallow had quietly walked over. As soon as Du Yuntian arrived, Hei Yanzi immediately became nervous and panicked. At this moment, he quietly pulled Zhan Meng's white sleeve and whispered: "Brother Zhan, please follow me." Zhan Mengbai was about to talk to him, so he followed him out immediately. All the guests in the hall were moved by the reputation of "Leaving the String Arrow", no one noticed them, only Huang Hu smiled wryly and said, "Brother, why did you seem to be stupefied all of a sudden?" He Junjie smiled and said: "When people are overjoyed, they naturally have different expressions. Let's drink, don't pay attention to him, and let the two uncles talk privately." At this time, there was already a banquet in the hall. "Three Geese on Laoshan Mountain" and the Golden Eagle and Yellow Tiger had been traveling for a long time, and had many old friends, so they had already been dragged to drink. Du Yuntian was allowed to sit at the table, his expression was still dazed and desolate, his eyes kept moving around, as if he was looking for something. Zhan Mengbai was dragged into the backyard by the black swallow, the night was coming, and the sky was full of stars, but seeing the backyard of the Tang Mansion, it was indeed covered by trees, and the courtyard was deep. Hei Yanzi kept pulling Zhan Mengbai into the shadow of a rockery, and said in panic, "Little brother is at the stake right now, but Brother Wang Zhan will save me." Zhanmeng Baiqi said: "How can I save you, little brother?" Hei Yanzi sighed and said: "My little brother absolutely cannot marry Qin Qi..." Zhan Mengbai's heart skipped a beat, and he blurted out, "Your two families are separated by thousands of miles, and you seem to have no contact at all, how could you suddenly have such a marriage now?" Hei Yanzi sighed: "The skinny old man Qin seems to have something to ask from my family, so he repeatedly asked people to come to ask for relatives. My father knew that he was the only person in the world who could save the poison of the 'lover's arrow', and wanted to use him, so he agreed. Marriage, but teach the younger brother to be unbecoming." Zhan Mengbai smiled wryly and said: "Younger brother is not a good person at the moment. The younger sister asked me to come to propose marriage that day. The younger brother should have said it as a joke, but who knows..." Hei Yanzi panicked and said: "Brother's marriage is a foregone conclusion, what the ancestors said has never been changed. Just rest assured, brother!" Zhan Mengbai was stunned for a while, and secretly smiled bitterly: "This person can't even hear my words clearly, but wants me to rest assured, isn't this going to make you mad?" Thinking about it, I suddenly thought: "This marriage is just their wishful thinking anyway, and it hasn't really been settled. If things don't work out, I'll leave at most and explain later." As soon as I thought of this, I couldn't help letting go of some thoughts. Hei Yanzi answered in panic: "But my little brother already has another sweetheart, and he has already...well, he has already made a private decision for life..." Zhan Mengbai said: "Who is this girl? Does your father know?" Hei Yanzi sighed: "This girl met my younger brother by chance, and it was love at first sight. No one in my family knows about it..." Zhan Mengbai said: "Since this is the case, how can I help my brother?" Hei Yanzi said: "Brother Zhan knew this girl?" Zhan Mengbai was startled, and blurted out, "Who?" Hei Yanzi sighed, "She is the daughter of 'Li Xian Jian'..." Zhan Mengbai was startled and said, "Dujuan?" Black Swallow sighed and nodded, hanging his head and being speechless. Zhan Mengbai paused and said, "This... Zensheng is good? Where is she at the moment?" 他想到杜鹃对他之情，又为他变得神智痴迷，此刻当真是又惊又急，立时下了决心，无论如何，这件事是定必要管到底的。 黑燕子哭丧着脸道：“小弟惟恐他人知道此事，一直将她藏在书房的密室之中，至今已将三个月了。” 展梦白顿足道：“快！快带我去。” 黑燕子道：“后日已是婚期，新娘子已在途中，展兄，你……你无论如何要想个办法才是。” 说话之间，他已领着展梦白悄悄转过假山。 展梦白口中连连答应，心中却也是紊乱如麻，遇着这样的事，又叫他有什么解决的办法？ 深沉的夜院中，四下点缀着红灯。 端菜上酒的仆人，奔行在花间小路上，川流不息。 展梦白随着黑燕子，借着花木阴影，隐藏身影，屏息狂奔，只觉这依山而建的庭院，确是辽阔无边，也不知究竟有多大？ 黑燕子悄悄叹道：“幸好前面正在热闹，否则你我此刻在庭院中行走，便无这般如意了。” 展梦白暗惊忖道：“想不到蜀中唐门竟有这般基业，这般声势，他能享名百余年，当真非是侥幸。” 思忖之间，两人已奔行了两三盏茶时分。 只见前面一片池塘，塘边柳林掩映中，现出三五精舍，点缀着塘中绿荷白鹅，当真是美如图画。 黑燕子道：“这就是了。”当先飞掠而去。 精舍中无灯无火，只有两盏红灯，悬在门外，迎风摇曳，黑燕子推房门，解下灯笼，提灯而入。 房中陈设，果然十分精致，左面一间书房，更是小巧精致，黑燕子燃起灯火，展梦白已侧身而入。 但见房中翰墨充陈，却缈无人迹。 展梦白惶然道：“她在哪里？” 黑燕子微微一笑，道：“此房还有间密室……”伸手推开墙边一排书架，里面便豁然现出一重门户。 门里灯光柔和，柔和的灯光，映照着密室中的锦帐翠衾，弥漫着阵阵香气，宛如女子绣阁一般。 忽然间，只听黑燕子一声惊呼，身形跄踉后退。 展梦白大惊失色，惶然道：“她……她怎样了？” 黑燕子回过头来，面容已无一丝血色，颤声道：“今……今晨小弟出去时，她还在这里，怎的此刻却不见了？” 展梦白探头望去，只见房中被褥零乱，四面凌乱地堆放着糖果吃食，哪里有杜鹃的影子。 他目光动处，更是大惊，回手抓住了黑燕子肩头，失色道：“她……会不会是因太过气闷，出去走动了？” 黑燕子道：“她在这里两个多月，从未出去一步，每日只是在房中……”语声顿处，目中已流下泪来。 展梦白见他如此神情，不禁叹着松了手掌。 只听黑燕子怆然接道：“小弟只怕她已被家父发现，那……那么，只……只怕她……她……” 展梦白变色道：“她若被令尊发觉，又会如何？” 黑燕子流泪道：“小弟成婚在即，家父若是发现了她，自不会容她来阻碍小弟的婚事……” 展梦白大惊道：“不错，令尊心狠手辣，天下闻名，你……你此刻只有快去求求你爹爹，只怕还来得及。” 黑燕子垂首道：“家父的性情，展兄还不知道，小弟不去求他还好，若去求他，只怕他手段更辣了。” 展梦白大声道：“你不敢去，我去问他。” 黑燕子道：“家父若是板起脸来，不加承认，展兄又当如何？” 展梦白满心惊惶，连连顿足，仰天长叹道：“她若是有了三长两短，我展梦白何以面对杜云天？” 黑燕子流泪道：“她……她此刻神智还是痴迷……” 展梦白听她神智犹未清醒，心中更是其痛如绞，反掌抓住黑燕子肩头，厉声道：“你难道毫无办法么？” 黑燕子忽然在他面前跪了下来，道：“小弟在这家族中，管束重重，实是身不由主，行动更不能自由。” 他抹了抹面上泪痕，接道：“此刻离婚期还有两日，但求展兄在这两日间能设法寻找到她。” 展梦白顿足道：“要我到何处找去？” 黑燕子道：“以展兄此刻在我家的地位，又被老祖宗所喜，行动想必不致受到束缚，若是苍天相佑，或者能将她寻到亦未可知。” 展梦白长长叹息一声，心中更是紊乱如麻。 他本想早些脱离这令人哭笑不得的婚事，但此刻黑燕子却要他以“娇客”的身份来寻找杜鹃。 他虽然有心拒绝，但想到杜鹃神智痴迷，本是为他，杜鹃若是清清醒醒，又怎会发生这般情事？ 一时之间，他心中当真是左右为难，但事已至此，却已令他别无选择，他只有暂时承认这令人哭笑不得的婚事，继续维持“娇客”的身份，否则他又怎能在这其深如海的夜院中随意行动，寻找杜鹃？
