Chapter 12 The twelfth chapter is confusing

Guo Pianxian saw that Red Lotus could no longer prove that he used the "mind-stimulating magic technique", so he couldn't help but sneered and said, "Red Lotus, as long as there is one person who can prove that I used the "mind-stimulating technique", I will bow my head and plead guilty, otherwise you are fabricating the facts and insulting your elders." , I, as the old leader and guardian of the Dharma, must not sit idly by, maybe today I will clean up the sect for the gang." This person's scheming is deep, cunning and sinister, and he is far beyond the imagination of the red lotus. Cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the red lotus. I haven't even been able to prove his treacherous conspiracy, so why should I think that I can expose him all at once..."

Suddenly a person shouted: "What kind of place is this...how could I be here..." Red Lotus turned her head and saw Jin Yanzi, and immediately exclaimed with joy: "Guo Pianxian, do you really think that there is really no one in the world who can prove that you have used the mind control technique?" The black pearl shattered with one blow, and Jin Yanzi felt a shock in his head, as if he had been hit hard with a hammer, and his whole body was shaking. But this heavy blow shattered her spiritual shackles. The black pearl was the symbol of her spiritual shackles. Once the black pearl was shattered, her spirit was freed from the shackles and she was completely free.

But she was still unconscious for a long time before she cried out. Seeing that the red lotus had rushed in front of her, she said loudly: "Miss Jin, do you really not know how you got here?" Jin Yanzi turned his eyes around, saw Guo Pianxian, and immediately shouted: "It's him, it's him, the devil, he is the one who enchanted me with sorcery, he wants me to be his lover, apprentice, and he wants me to be his lover." His wife, daughter." At this moment, the roar of the beggar gang disciples finally broke out. Mei Simong roared wildly: "Your surname is Guo, you can't make up your mind by now, right?"

Guo Pianxian's gaze turned, and he saw that the disciples of the Beggar Clan were rushing over like a tide, all of them were full of anger and hatred. Guo Pianxian also yelled suddenly, "Stop! What do you want to do?" Mei Si Mang said: "Punish the traitor, clean up the family." Guo Pianxian sneered and said, "You are not worthy." He suddenly took out something from his bosom, held it high above his head, and shouted: "Look at what it is first." I saw a roll of old yellow silk layered up in his hand, with dragons flying and wind dancing on it, and eight large characters written in cinnabar: "When the guardian arrives, it will be as if I came in person."

Mei Si Mang's complexion changed violently, and he said in a trembling voice, "This... how could this fall into your hands." Guo Pianxian ignored him, turned to stare at Red Lotus, and said sharply: "Whose Shouze is this, you should know." The red lotus bowed its head and said: "This is the hand-rolled alchemy book written by the elders of our gang three hundred years ago..." Guo Pianxian shouted: "Since you know it, you won't kneel down when you see it!" Red Lotus sighed miserably, and knelt down slowly. Now that the leader of the sect had already knelt down, who would dare to stand up among the disciples of the beggar sect? In the blink of an eye, hundreds of thousands of disciples knelt down in darkness.

Guo Pianxian looked up to the sky and laughed wildly: "Even if I am guilty, who would dare to punish me except for the resurrection of the old predecessors after death." The laughter suddenly stopped, and his complexion changed tragically. One person shouted: "I'm not a disciple of the beggar gang, I don't need to care about the hand scrolls of alchemy you have." Holding a dagger, Jin Yanzi rushed over from behind Guo Pianxian. She stabbed out with the dagger before she let out a cry, Guo Pianxian was overjoyed and realized it was too late, the sharp dagger had already pierced his back.

The disciples of the Beggar Clan were surprised and happy again, seeing Guo Pianxian shaking her body, and said with a sad smile: "Okay, Guo did not expect to be plotted against by a little girl today..." Suddenly he swung his palm back like lightning. go out. This palm was the concentration of his whole life's kung fu, Jin Yanzi couldn't dodge it, but his body was thrown into the air and fell several feet away. She didn't even utter a scream, and she passed out. The dagger was still on Guo Pianxian's back. He staggered back, holding the hand-rolled alchemy book tightly in his hand, and said with a grinning hiss: "The old alchemy books are still in my hands, who of you dares to come here?"

Although Hong Lianhua knew that she could restrain him by raising her hand and asking, she couldn't make a move, watching him step by step out of the crowd. Suddenly there was a flash of a figure, and the two of them blocked Guo Pianxian's way, one at a time and the other at the back. A middle-aged Taoist nun with black hair and a yellow shirt, as elegant as a fairy, had a long sword with a black sheath slung across her back, an apricot-yellow sword The spike fluttering on her pale cheeks was Xu Shuzhen, the head of the Huashan Sword Sect, "Fairy Furong". A tall and beautiful girl followed closely behind her, her brows were full of heroism, she was naturally Zhong Jing, the head disciple of the Huashan School.

Seeing these two people coming, Hong Lianhua breathed a sigh of relief. Only Xu Shuzhen said coldly: "The sky net is extensive, sparse but not leaky, Guo Pianxian, I finally found you today." Guo Pianxian roared wildly, twisted around and wanted to rush out. But Xu Shuzhen's slender fingers touched seven of his acupoints like lightning. After all, he was seriously injured, with 100% of his martial arts skills and even 100% of them could not be used. Red Lotus said pleasantly: "Could it be that the fairy also has some grudges with this person." Xu Shuzhen let out a long sigh, and said: "After the Huangchi meeting, the poor Taoist has been following him, and my Huashan faction and this person can be said to be irreconcilable."

She waved her hand, and Zhong Jing held the alchemy book in both hands and sent it back. Xu Shuzhen went on to say: "Bring back the alchemy book, how about this person ask the leader to hand it over to the poor Taoist?" The red lotus took the alchemy book respectfully, pondered for a while, and said slowly: "If the fairy did not come here by chance today, it is inevitable that this person will escape." Xu Shuzhen smiled and said: "What's more, more than ten years ago, the old leader of your gang expelled him from the sect. If the poor Taoist took him away today, it must be no harm to the sect of your sect."

Red Lotus said: "Exactly." Xu Shuzhen clasped his hands together and said, "Thank you, Master." She glanced at the stunned Jin Yanzi from a distance, and suddenly smiled again: "If it weren't for this girl, it would be far from easy to capture Guo, but please tell this girl, if there is anything wrong with her in the future. There must be something to pay back.” The red lotus smiled and said: "It's a blessing for the golden girl to be favored by the fairy." He watched Xu Shuzhen take Guo Pianxian away, and his mood was really relieved. He was about to go to visit Jin Yanzi's injury, and suddenly saw another figure flying past. Although this person's qinggong is not very high, but his posture is graceful, the bright red gauze flutters in the flickering fire, like a fairy hanging down from the clouds. Red Lotus frowned and said, "Could it be the envoy of Hundred Flowers." A stunning young girl in a light gauze dress prostrated herself in front of him, and said: "Disciple Hua Xun, kowtow to the leader." Hong Lianhua smiled and said: "Don't dare... the girl is here, could it be that Mrs. Haitang has something to order?" Hua Xun said: "Madam ordered the disciples to come, firstly to thank the leader for sending Senior Sister Lin back, and secondly to ask the leader for something." Red Lotus smiled and said, "Mrs. Haitang has something to do, so I will serve you." Huaxun blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "The former Guardian Guo of your clan disappeared for 15 years, and now he has come back. The senior sister of the flower matchmaker in our sect has also seen him. Madam, after thinking about it, since the gang leader Summoning the disciples of the noble clan here must be related to Guo Hufa's trip, so the disciples who hold the order come to ask the clan master..." Red Lotus finally couldn't bear it and said: "Madam, don't you have some old grudges?" Huaxun sighed softly and said: "That's exactly the case, so Madam wants to ask the Lord, when Guo Hufa arrives here, immediately notify Madam with the news of your gang's flag flowers, Madam is nearby, and can come right away of." Hong Lianhua was silent for a while, then said with a wry smile: "Madam ordered, the gang should follow orders, but it's a pity that the girl has come a step late." Huaxun lost his voice and said: "Could it be that the leader of the gang has already corrected the rules of Guo Hufa?" Hong Lianhua sighed: "But please ask the lady to go to Fu Furen, and say that Guo Pianxian has already been expelled from the gang, and at this moment——at this moment, he has been taken away by Xu Xianzi, the head of Huashan." ※※※ Almost half an hour later, Jin Yanzi woke up leisurely. The red lotus seemed to have no time to wait for her to fully regain consciousness, so she bowed and said: "The help of Miss Cheng was the only way to get rid of the catastrophe, but it caused the girl to be injured. I really don't know how to express my gratitude to the girl. .” Jin Yanzi smiled faintly, and said, "The leader's words are serious..." She smiled for the first time, then disappeared again, and said in a trembling voice: "Then... is the devil dead?" Red Lotus said: "After he was wounded, Fairy Xu from the Huashan School came and took him away. The Huashan School also had a grudge with him, and Fairy Xu is even more jealous. He probably won't live long." Jin Yanzi was silent for a while, then sighed softly: "To tell the truth from the sect leader, I'm always a little worried that I couldn't see his dead body with my own eyes." Red Lotus smiled and said: "This man has enemies all over the world, even if Fairy Xu doesn't kill him, Madam Haitang won't let him go." Jin Yanzi frowned and said, "Madam Haitang?" The red lotus said: "Mrs. Haitang, I just sent an envoy to inquire about him." Jin Yanzi suddenly changed color and said, "Did you tell her?" Red Lotus said: "Of course I told her, why is the girl so surprised?" Jin Yanzi sighed: "If the sect master tells Mrs. Haitang, there will be troubles between the Huashan and Baihua sects from now on." Red Lotus asked in surprise, "Why?" Jin Yanzi said: "Do you know the relationship between Guo Pianxian and Mrs. Haitang?" Red Lotus frowned and said, "I don't know." Jin Yanzi said in a deep voice: "Could it be that no one in the Jianghu knows that he and Mrs. Haitang are originally husband and wife." The red lotus jumped in shock, and said: "Husband and wife!" Jin Yanzi sighed: "Even if Mrs. Haitang has some resentment towards him, she still won't let him die at the hands of others. In this way, she and Huashan Fairy Xu will become enemies." The red lotus was silent for a long time, and she couldn't help sighing: "No wonder that girl Huaxun went back to report to Mrs. Haitang immediately after she heard me tell the whereabouts of Guo Pianxian, even if she didn't even have time to say a word——ah, these two people are so beautiful. It is said that she is the most difficult woman to provoke in the arena today, if they fight, the situation will be out of hand." Jin Yanzi struggled to sit up, and suddenly said: "This is the end of the matter, it's useless to talk about it, I came here to ask the leader about another matter." Red Lotus smiled and said: "If the girl has something to ask, I will tell you everything." Jin Yanzi lowered her head, and said slowly: "That night, in the inn in that small town, what happened to Miss Lin Dai Yulin and Young Master Yu Peiyu, I wonder if the leader can tell me in detail." The face of the red lotus changed color slightly, and after pondering for a long time, she sighed and said, "I don't know what the girl has to do with this matter?" Jin Yanzi smiled wryly: "If the leader is willing to tell me, why bother to ask me about my relationship with them?" Red Lotus pondered for a while, and finally sighed: "I also settled down in that small town that day, and happened to see them entering the town. Miss Lin and I are familiar with each other, although we don't know who the boy next to her is, But I couldn’t avoid going over to say hello.” Jin Yanzi said: "The leader and the dead Mr. Yu were good friends. Seeing Miss Lin walking with other men, I'm afraid I'm a little annoyed." Hong Lianhua was stunned, and suddenly laughed and said: "Young lady, if you think so, you are very wrong. I am naturally lazy, and I don't care about the worldly etiquette. Don't tell me that Miss Lin is not married to Peiyu, even if she is married to Peiyu. I have no reason to force her to be a widow, if she makes another friend, I can only be happy for her." Although he smiled boldly, there was a hint of desolation in it. Naturally, Jin Yanzi couldn't hear it, and said with a smile: "The leader is unique and different from the common world. If I say something wrong, the leader won't be offended, okay?" Hong Lianhua smiled, but frowned again and said: "But when I went to greet him, the young man seemed to be very moved, but Miss Lin just ignored me, as if she didn't see me, she has a moral relationship with me, it shouldn't be like this .” Jin Yanzi said: "Perhaps—maybe she is in a bad mood." Red Lotus smiled bitterly and said: "Although this statement is also reasonable, but it suddenly occurred to me that more than a month ago, she also once regarded me as a stranger, and I only found out later that she was already in danger at that time. pains." Jin Yanzi said: "That's why the leader suspects that Miss Lin has some unavoidable difficulties this time." Red Lotus sighed: "Exactly." Jin Yanzi said: "So the leader of the gang must go to see what happened. I just want to ask, what did the leader of the gang see that night?" Mei Simang, who had been standing beside the red lotus with her hands down all the time, suddenly interjected: "Young lady's words are good. If it were someone else who encountered some strange things during the day, he would inevitably use his body of flying over the eaves and walls at night." Let’s find out, even if it’s the boudoir where other girls live, he can completely ignore it..." He stared at Jin Yanzi, smiled slightly, and continued: "But girl, don't forget that if a person becomes the leader of the beggar gang, his identity is somewhat different from others, and he can't act so casually." Jin Yanzi blushed, and said: "I made a slip of the tongue, but the lord... Has the lord never gone to investigate?" Mei Si Mang said: "The head of my family has always been cautious in his actions. Although he is unwilling to do things that are demeaning, he can't let this kind of matter that is related to the safety of his friends go lightly." Jin Yanzi laughed and said: "The prudence of Honglian's gang leader and the chivalry towards his friends are well known in the world. You don't need to say anything about it, I already know it." This time Mei Simang's face couldn't help turning red, coughed dryly, and said: "In order to find out the truth, the gang leader had to order a disciple of the gang to pretend to be the clerk of the inn and go to Miss Lin Dai Yulin's room Look at the movement." Jin Yanzi said: "When was that?" Mei Siyong glanced at the red lotus, and the red lotus nodded, and then Mei Siyong continued: "It was already after dusk..." Jin Yanzi suddenly laughed and said: "If it's convenient for the leader, why don't you ask the leader to speak for himself? Otherwise, every time you say a word, senior, you have to ask for instructions. Wouldn't it be too much trouble?" Mei Simong laughed loudly and said: "The heroine Jin Yanzi, as expected, no one can offend me. The old man just inadvertently bumped into the girl, so the girl can't spare me?" He laughed and bowed before retreating, Jin Yanzi sighed: "It's really enviable for the leader to have such a loyal helper." Without waiting for Red Lotus to speak, she immediately turned to the topic, and said: "After that disciple from your gang entered Miss Lin's room, what unusual things did she see?" Hong Lianhua said: "There is indeed something unusual. He saw that Miss Lin's complexion seemed to be very heavy. She kept her face ashen and ignored him from the beginning to the end." Jin Yanzi blinked and said: "Since he has already pretended to be a shopkeeper, how can Miss Lin pay attention to him, what's so strange about that?" Hong Lianhua said in a deep voice, "It's just because Miss Lin knew him." Jin Yanzi said: "Oh!..." The red lotus said: "A month ago near Shangqiu, when Miss Lin was in a dangerous situation, it was Song Si who disguised herself as a shop assistant and went to see Miss Lin. Although Miss Lin was in a dangerous situation at that time, she still found a chance. , secretly passed a message to him, but this time he still ignored him, isn't it strange?" Jin Yanzi frowned and said: "So the leader of the gang..." Hong Lianhua sighed: "So I can't help but think that Miss Lin is in a much more dangerous situation than last time, and she doesn't even have a chance to pass on the news." Jin Yanzi murmured: "Couldn't the leader have thought that maybe it's just because Miss Lin is not in any danger at all, so there's no need to secretly spread the news." Red Lotus said: "Of course it's also possible, but—if Miss Lin is not in danger, she will at least say hello to me." Jin Yanzi said: "Maybe she suddenly doesn't want to say hello to the leader." Red Lotus said: "This is absolutely impossible." Jin Yanzi stared at him and said: "The leader is so confident." Red Lotus said: "Yes." Jin Yanzi smiled again and said: "In this way, the friendship between the leader and Miss Lin must be pretty good, so it's no wonder the leader is so concerned about Miss Lin's affairs." Hong Lianhua's complexion seemed to have changed, but she also smiled immediately: "The girl is so concerned about this matter, and she seems to want to speak for that Mr. Yu everywhere, so she must have a good relationship with Mr. Yu." Jin Yanzi was stunned, and laughed loudly: "Sect Master Honglian, indeed, no one can mess with him." The two smiled at each other, but their smiles were unavoidably forced. Although these two were originally bright people, they both had serious concerns at the moment. After a long while, Red Lotus continued: "Song Lao Si went to Miss Lin's room twice in a row for the reason of adding tea and water. When she went the second time, Miss Lin was crying softly, waiting for him After entering the room, Miss Lin covered her head with a quilt, and Mr. Yu immediately faced the wall, as if he didn't want others to see his face." Jin Yanzi said: "The gang leader finds it even more strange." Red Lotus said: "When Song Laosi came back to report to me, it was already late at night. At that time, although my doubts were heavier, I was still hesitant. I didn't know whether I should go and see." Jin Yanzi said: "I don't know what made the leader make up his mind later." Red Lotus said: "At that moment, I suddenly noticed a few night walkers with high lightness kung fu flying towards the inn. At this moment, I didn't hesitate and followed suit." Before he finished speaking, Jin Yanzi lost his voice: "There are other people who followed them, who are they, did the leader see it?" Hong Lianhua said: "These people's whereabouts are really sneaky. They covered their faces with black scarves. I couldn't tell who they were, but when I arrived at the inn, I saw one of them shrank, and actually shrank into it." The transom on the roof, the transom is very narrow, and ordinary people will never be able to get in, unless they have extraordinary soft skills, and the girl naturally knows that there are not many people in the world who are good at soft skills." Jin Yanzi moved, "Could it be that the leader thinks that person is Ximen Wugu?" Red Lotus said: "I think there will be no one else." Jin Yanzi said: "Why is Ximen Wugu staring at them all this time?" Hong Lianhua raised her head and sighed, and said: "It's a long story, I can only tell the girl, this is only because Miss Lin is the future wife of my deceased Yu Xiandi, and they will not know anything related to Yu Xiandi. Let it go." Jin Yanzi remained silent for a while, then frowned and said, "This matter is indeed getting more and more complicated..." Hong Lianhua sighed: "There are indeed many secrets in this matter. If it weren't for the girl's great kindness to the gang, I would absolutely refuse to reveal it." Jin Yanzi said word by word: "But the leader can also rest assured that as long as it is about Yu Peiyu, whether it is Yu Peiyu alive or dead, I can keep a secret for him." Red Lotus smiled and continued: "That night Wuxing Wuyue, everyone in the inn was asleep, and the yard was pitch black. The five night walkers in black, except for Ximen Wugu hiding in the transom, the other four Surrounded Miss Lin's house." Jin Yanzi said: "They just wanted to spy on Miss Lin's whereabouts in the dark, so why did they surround Miss Lin's house? Could it be that they have other malicious intentions?" The red lotus said: "It's because there are other malicious intentions." Jin Yanzi said: "He... what do they want to do?" The red lotus stared at her and did not speak for a long time. Jin Yanzi said again loudly: "No matter what happens, for that Yu Peiyu, I would rather die than reveal a word of secret." Red Lotus let out a long breath, and said slowly: "They obviously want to tie Miss Lin back. If they can't be tied back alive, it doesn't matter if they die." Jin Yanzi shrugged: "Why?" Red Lotus smiled wryly: "This has nothing to do with what the girl wants to know, does it?" Jin Yanzi thought for a while, and couldn't help but said again: "Ximen Wugu is originally a close friend of Lin Shoujuan' Linghuajian, and Lin Daiyu is Lin Shoujuan's only daughter, how could Ximen Wugu want to kill her? He is not afraid of 'Linghuajian' 'to avenge the girl." Hong Lianhua sighed: "There are many things in the world that people can't figure out. I can only tell the girl that these people have long wanted to seal Lin Daiyu's mouth, but Lin Daiyu was taken away by Mrs. Haitang. Although they don't Dare to provoke Mrs. Haitang, but when she sees that Lin Daiyu is alone, she will never let her go." Jin Yanzi said: "Then...then why don't they do anything?" Red Lotus pondered and said: "Maybe it's because they are also a little afraid of this Mr. Yu, maybe it's because they still want to see what kind of relationship Lin Daiyu has with this Mr. Yu." He sighed and said: "They have too much suspicion and fear of my younger brother Yu, and they always suspect that he is not really dead. Seeing Lin Daiyu walking with another Yu Peiyu, I'm afraid that this Yu Peiyu is my younger brother Yu in disguise. Otherwise, with Lin Daiyu's temper, how could she share a room with a stranger." Jin Yanzi said: "I'm afraid the sect leader is also suspicious." Hong Lianhua smiled bitterly and said: "But I know that my younger brother Yu Xian is really dead, if this Mr. Yu is my younger brother Yu, how can he ignore me when he sees it." Jin Yanzi was silent for a long while, then sighed leisurely: "The boss is right, no matter who Yu Peiyu is, she will not be such a heartless and unjust person." Hong Lianhua said: "I know that the martial arts of these three people are all first-class masters in the world. Naturally, I am very worried about Miss Lin, but before these five people make a move, I can't make a move, and I can't go to alarm them. , So, I can only hide behind the opposite roof and spy on the movement from a distance." Jin Yanzi said: "At this moment, Miss Lin's room is making noise?" Red Lotus said: "At this time, there was no sound in her room, but the lights were on. I thought they had... gone to sleep, but at this moment, Miss Lin suddenly kicked open the door, and everyone screamed and rushed out." Jin Zhengzi suddenly slapped his hands and said, "I understand." Red Lotus asked in surprise, "What did the girl understand?" Jin Yanzi said: "Miss Lin probably sensed that someone was spying on her, so she deliberately rushed out, yelled loudly in the yard, pretending to be arguing with Yu Peiyu, just to startle everyone else. , once there are too many people, it will be inconvenient for Ximen Wugu and the others to attack." Red Lotus pondered and said: "This Miss Lin has always been vigilant and deep. Based on her past behavior, it is indeed possible, but even if the quarrel between her and Mr. Yu was fake, the stabbing swords will definitely not be true. is fake." Jin Yanzi said: "But she didn't really hurt Yu Peiyu seriously,..." Red Lotus said: "Even if it's not too heavy, it's not too light, not to mention... Even if you guessed right, Miss, Lin Daiyu is very wrong in doing so." Jin Yanzi said: "Wrong? Why?" Hong Lianhua said: "Ximen Wugu and the others obviously had some scruples about this young master Yu, so they didn't dare to make a move. Now that she and young master Yu have turned their faces, they don't have to think about anything else." Jin Yanzi said: "But the people in the yard..." Red Lotus sighed: "Those people in the yard, how could they care about them? When Lin Daiyu stabbed with the second sword, the night walker on the roof had already stood up." Jin Yanzi said: "So the leader rushed over immediately." Red Lotus said: "At that time, I knew that I couldn't wait any longer. I had to catch Lin Daiyu and rescue Lin Daiyu, catching them by surprise." Jin Yanzi smiled wryly: "At that time, others thought that the leader of the gang was going to save Yu Peiyu, but it was Miss Lin who was saved by the leader of the gang. From this we can see that even if it is something I saw with my own eyes, it may not be true." She sighed, and said again: "And I was wrong just now." Red Lotus couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?" Jin Yanzi said: "Miss Lin really wanted to kill Mr. Yu, she didn't pretend to be on purpose. It's just because if she really knew that someone was secretly trying to kill her, she would naturally need Mr. Yu as her helper. How could she be with Mr. Yu?" Master Yu turned his face?" The red lotus murmured, "That's not necessarily the case." Jin Yanzi said: "Oh?..." Red Lotus said: "Maybe it's because she has already seen me and knows that I will be waiting in the dark to save her." Jin Yanzi said: "Then, what's the benefit of her pretending like this?" Red Lotus said slowly: "Maybe it's because she was afraid that Ximen Wugu and others would mistake Mr. Yu for my younger brother Yu Xian. After she made a move on Mr. Yu, others would never doubt him again—" Speaking of this, the muscles at the corners of his mouth seemed to be trembling slightly. Jin Yanzi said solemnly: "So, she did this not for herself, but for Young Master Yu. She shot at Young Master Yu not to hurt him, but to save him." Red Lotus sighed: "Of course this is just my guess." Jin Yanzi said: "After you rescued her, didn't you ask her?" The red lotus stared into the distance, and said leisurely: "What right do I have to ask her about her mind?" Jin Yanzi was staring at him, suddenly smiled, and said: "Just don't worry, she will never really be so passionate about this young master, she really hates him, maybe she really wants to kill him .” Red Lotus was startled, and forced a smile: "I don't worry, why should I worry?" Jin Yanzi said quietly: "You can't hide it from me, I know what's on your mind, but... Miss Lin, does she know? I hope she knows too..." There was pain in Red Lotus's eyes, but she laughed loudly and said: "No matter what you think, you are wrong, Yu Peiyu and I are brothers and sisters." Jin Yanzi said: "But Yu Peiyu is dead, isn't she?" The red lotus said: "Although he is dead, he will always live in my heart." Jin Yanzi said: "Are you going to hide your emotions for the rest of your life because of him? If he is really your good friend, under the nine springs, he must hope that you will comfort Miss Lin for him." Red Lotus said loudly: "Miss Lin doesn't need anyone to comfort her." Jin Yanzi said: "You are wrong, I know Miss Lin is in pain now, the only person who can comfort him is you." Red Lotus stared at her without blinking, and suddenly sneered: "You want me to comfort Miss Lin, are you afraid that she will snatch your Young Master Yu? You want her to hate him, and even want her to kill him , and don't want them to be together?" Jin Yanzi trembled, lowered her head slowly, and said in a trembling voice: "Yes, you are right, I am a selfish person..." Before she finished speaking, tears were already dripping down her hands. Red Lotus couldn't help showing guilt in her eyes, and said softly: "For the sake of love, who in the world is not selfish?" Jin Yanzi suddenly raised her head and said: "Only you, your love is to sacrifice yourself... Although you sacrificed yourself, you don't let others know, why can't I learn from you? Why can't I?" Red Lotus didn't want to talk any further, this topic was like a needle that would always pierce his heart, he lightly changed the subject, smiled and said: "Young lady asked me, I also have a few things I want to ask young lady. " Jin Yanzi said: "You... you can ask." Red Lotus said: "I don't know how the girl knew about this?" Jin Yanzi wiped away her tears and said, "Did you see Sima Bin that night?" Red Lotus lost her voice and said, "Was Master Shendao also there that night?" Jin Yanzi sighed: "I heard him tell me this matter, I thought it was very simple, but after hearing what the leader said, I found it to be more complicated than I expected, although the leader explained every detail in detail. He told me in detail, but I still can't figure out the truth of this matter." Hong Lianhua sighed: "Not only the girl can't figure it out, but how can I figure it out? In fact, I might have missed a lot of things that night, I just paid attention to Ximen Wugu's movements, even Mr. Shendao I didn't even see it there, and if there were other people in the dark, I wouldn't have seen it." Jin Yanzi said: "There is indeed at least one other person in the dark." The red lotus suddenly said: "Who?" Jin Yanzi said slowly: "A mysterious and beautiful girl. It is said that after Mr. Yu saw her, he ran away as if he was seeing a ghost." Red Lotus Daqi asked: "Who is this girl? Why is Mr. Yu so afraid of her?" Jin Yanzi sighed: "I'm afraid no one knows this secret except Yu Peiyu herself." Red Lotus looked up to the sky and sighed, "Yu Peiyu, Yu Peiyu...why is the name Yu Peiyu always related to so many secrets." Jin Yanzi said: "You...why don't you ask me what secrets there are between Miss Lin and Mr. Yu? Maybe I know their secrets." Red Lotus smiled bitterly: "The more secrets a person knows, the more painful they are. I already know a lot of secrets. There are some things that I would rather not know." ※※※ Although Jin Yanzi talked a lot, her injuries were not serious. Fortunately, the Beggar Clan's wound medicine was effective, but even so, it was still difficult for her to move and unable to move. Red Lotus originally advised her to recover from her injuries before leaving, but she was in a hurry to leave. Jin Yanzi was quick-tempered and impatient, telling her to lie on the bed seemed to kill her. So Honglianhua had no choice but to ask Mei Simong to see her off, and even hired a mule cart for her as an exception, the disciples of the Beggar Clan are known as iron-footed boards, and they never use any carts or horses to travel. Mei Simang happened to be a quick-tempered person too, so he didn't need Jin Yanzi to urge him, and he wished he could drive the mule cart to Lidu Town with a whip. But when we arrived at Lidu Town, it was still late at night the next day. Mei Siyong reined in the reins, turned her head and said: "I don't know where Lingmei is waiting for the girl in this town." Jin Yanzi said: "I stayed in this town for one night two years ago. That day I lived in Li's Inn, so I asked her to wait there." Mei Simang smiled and said: "This is the first time we have come to this place, I don't know which street the Li Family Inn is on." Jin Yanzi poked her head out from the hood and said with a smile, "There is only one main street in this small town, and the Li Family Inn is right there..." Suddenly, in the darkness in the east, there was a short, sharp, and shrill sound, just like the bamboo whistle of a black panther coming out of the forest. Then there were two low and strange beatings of drums from the south, three gongs of gongs from the west, and four brass trumpets from the north. Most of the other drums are short, but this one is deep and slow, like the low roar of a tiger; most of the other gongs are very clear, but this one is hoarse and short, like the sound of a hungry tiger. The struggle of the wolf before dying; the long, sharp, trembling brass horn sounds more like a rattlesnake. This strange sound suddenly sounded in the dead of night, even Jin Yanzi couldn't help shivering, and frowned: "What kind of sound is this? shout." Mei Si Python's complexion changed drastically, and he said in a deep voice: "Quickly hide in the carriage, don't make a sound." While speaking, he had already got off the mule cart. The mule pulling the cart was already so frightened by the mysterious and terrifying sound that it almost collapsed on the ground while foaming at its mouth. Mei Sipyg pulled it under the tree with all his strength. At this moment, there was the sound of the wind on the sleeves of the clothes, and a few figures flew over from the north like arrows, and their faces could no longer be seen in the darkness. Looking from a distance, from the east, south, and west, there were also a few figures approaching the town. They were all wearing dark tight-fitting clothes, and their movements were very vigorous. Although Jin Yanzi was full of curiosity, but upon hearing such a mysterious voice and seeing the paralyzed mule, cold sweat broke out from his palms, and he lay down in the car, not daring to make a sound. Mei Si Python pulled the reins and stood in the darkness under the tree, not even daring to move, as if afraid of being discovered by these secretive night walkers. But the Night Walker saw him after all. One of them paused slightly, and shouted: "This car is very eye-catching, let him be destroyed." Another person said: "The boss is already urging, why should we bother." The man sneered and said, "Since that's the case, let's spare the old man's life." After these words were finished, several people were already several feet away. Jin Yanzi couldn't help poking her head out and said, "Senior, why are you afraid of trouble tonight?" Mei Si Mang sighed, and said with a wry smile: "Since he didn't provoke us, why should we bother to provoke him?" Jin Yanzi said: "Are these people difficult to provoke?" Mei Si Mang opened his eyes wide and said: "Don't you know who they are, Miss?" Jin Yanzi asked, "Who?" Mei Si Mang said in a deep voice: "Miss, haven't you heard of the 'Four Evil Beasts' that roam across the borders of Sichuan, Hubei, Shaanxi, and Gansu provinces?" Jin Yanzi lost his voice: "Are they the 'Four Evil Beasts'?" Mei Simang sighed: "There are quite a few of the four evil beasts, all of them are here." Jin Yanzi was moved and said: "I heard that although the four evil beasts are equally famous, they gather together in one place, and they don't come and go frequently on weekdays. How could they gather in one place today?" Mei Si Mang frowned and said, "This is indeed a bit strange. If it wasn't for a huge deal, the four evil beasts would never make a move together, but how could there be any big deal in this small Lidu Town?" Jin Yanzi's face suddenly changed color, looking around, he saw that the long street was clean, and the town was quiet again, and many nocturnal people were gone. She took a breath and said, "You...can you see where they all went?" Mei Si Mang said: "They seem to have all gone to the bungalow at the end of the street." Before he finished speaking, Jin Yanzi lost his voice and said: "No, that's Li's House." Mei Simang's eyes turned, and she couldn't help but change color: "Is there any treasure with Lingmei?" Jin Yanzi said: "Not only are you carrying treasures, but there are also quite a few." While speaking, he was already struggling to jump out of the carriage. Mei Simang grabbed her tightly, and said in a deep voice: "Young lady's injuries are still intact, so don't move rashly." Jin Yanzi said anxiously: "The Four Evil Beasts are notorious, so their martial arts must not be weak. My sister is definitely not their opponent. Do you want me to watch her get killed?" 梅四蟒面色沉重，缓缓道：“但姑娘此刻纵然出手，岂非也是去送死么？” 金燕子呆了呆，颤声道：“那……那怎么办呢。” 梅四蟒勉强笑丁笑，道：“姑娘请放心，只要有老朽在这里，总不能让他们容易得手的。”他嘴里虽如此说，心里却也毫无把握。 金燕子道：“你要想法子，就得赶快呀，否则只怕就来不及了。” 梅四蟒沉吟道：“他们不会太快动手的，四恶兽出手之前，素来谨慎，否则又怎会这许多年来都未失手。” 他嘴里说着话，目光已不停往四下打量，只见李家栈那一片平房后，有个小楼，高出别家屋脊之上。 他忽然一笑，道：“老朽今年已六十八了，姑娘若不嫌老朽身上脏，就请伏在老朽背上，咱们先躲在那小楼屋顶上瞧瞧动静再说。” 金燕子长叹道：“除此之外，我难道还有别的法子么。” 梅四蟒背着金燕子，往后面绕到那小楼旁，自身畔取出条长索，搭上楼檐，才缓缓攀了上去。 他虽然性急心焦，但究竟久走江湖，大敌当先，自然分外谨慎，生怕身上背着个人身法不便，跳跃时有丁声响，所以竟不敢一跃而上。 自小楼上瞧下去，见这李家栈除了前面大门外还点着两盏灯笼，账房里也隐隐有灯光露出来，其余几栋平房，俱都在黑暗中，院子里几株树被风吹得沙沙作响，却更令这黑暗的死寂平添许多悚然之意。 树下，墙角，屋脊后，每一处星光照不到的地方，都隐隐有人影闪动，但却听不见丝毫声音。 金燕子更是着急，暗道：“二妹怎地睡得这么死，强盗已到了她门口，她还在做她的好梦。” 突听黑暗中有人弹了弹指甲，“嗖”的一声，四条大汉拔出了刀，矮着腰向对面一排屋子蹿了过去。 这四人两个奔门，两个奔窗，但还未蹿到门窗前，那屋子里竟突然亮起了明亮的灯光。 四条大汉一惊，却步，把刀而立，虎视眈眈，谁知道屋子里竟突然有一阵银铃般的娇笑声传了出来。 在这充满杀机的静夜中，突然响起了如此娇媚，如此动人的笑声，令人听在耳里，既觉销魂，又觉可怖。 娇媚的笑声中，屋子的门，霍然大开。 一个柔发如云，明眸如星的绝色少女，左手挽着头发，右手举着盏铜灯，俏生生走了出来。 她穿着件浅紫轻纱的长袍，那玲珑剔透，美丽诱人的胴体，在灯光掩照下，若隐若现。 梅四蟒远远瞧着，也不觉吃了一惊，暗道：“金燕子的妹妹，怎会是如此娇媚的人间尤物？” 那四条大汉更是眼睛都瞧直了，几乎连大气都透不过来，就是躲在黑暗中的人，都不觉也伸长了脖子，伸出了头。 银花娘眼波流动，媚笑道：“各位大哥，可是来找我的么？” 那四条大汉道：“是……” 他们也想说些凶狠的话，怎奈嘴巴发干，心里直跳，非但装不出凶狠之态，简直连一个字也说不出来。 银花娘柔声道：“各位既是来找我的，为何站在门外，夜寒如冰，小心着了凉……” 她腰肢轻轻一扭，笑得更媚，道：“各位难道不愿进来喝杯茶？” 她竟像是个多礼的主人，在殷勤地招待着远方的来客，像是根本就不知道这些人本是要来杀她的。 那四条大汉手足失措，目瞪口呆。 这四人也算是见过大风大浪的狠角色，但此刻面对着这手无寸铁的少女，竟都不知如何才好了。 突听一人怪笑道：“有如此美丽的女主人请喝茶，俺兄弟怎能辜负她；一番好意，俺'黑豹'秦彪，先来拜饮一杯。” 凄厉的笑声中，一个身材颀长，行动矫健的黑衣人，已迈开大步，走了过来，脚步重重踏在地上，却听不见丝毫声音。 他远远看来，像是十分英俊，但灯光照上他脸，却不觉要令人骇一跳，睡着了都要被骇醒。 只见他漆黑的脸上，颧骨高耸，满是刀疤，笑将起来，一张大嘴却血也，似的红，仿佛一口就能将你的头颅嚼碎。 银花娘瞧着他，却嫣然笑道：“这样的英雄人物，怎能喝茶，幸好贱妾屋里，还备有几樽上好的大曲，英雄烈酒，这才是相得益彰。” 秦彪哈哈大笑，还未说话，另一人已笑道：“格老子，这女人有劲，老子也少不得要喝她一杯。” 笑声中，又有三个人走了过来。 第一人又高又胖，满脸横肉。第二人瘦骨嶙峋，一张脸死气沉沉，鼻子少了半个，耳朵也缺了半边。 第三人看来虽然没什么特别古怪，但走起路来，闪闪缩缩，一双手不停地在抖，竟然说不出的令人恶心。 金燕子远远瞧着，几乎忍不住要吐出来——这三人从头到脚，简直没有什么像人的地方。 但银花娘却仍是甜甜在笑，眼波一转，已向每个人都抛了个媚眼，而且还令每个人都以为这媚眼只是向自己。 那满脸横肉的红衣大汉哈哈笑道：“好个骚货，老子'红虎'赵刚走南闯北，还他妈的没有见过这么够劲的女子，老子简直恨不得把你一口吞下去。” 走在最后的白衣人咯咯笑道：“姑娘莫要见怪，虎老二虽然满嘴粗话，但良心却是不错的……”他一说起话来，全身都抖个不停，活脱脱像是条响尾蛇。 “红虎”赵刚狂笑道：“不错，老子这张脸，确没有这'白蛇郎君'标致，良心却比他好得多，像你这样娇滴滴的小美人，若是被他耍过一天，起码也得有三天爬不起床……” 几个人大说大笑，竟旁若无人地走了进去，像是根本不怕这“娇滴滴的美人”会对他们使什么诡计。 只有那鼻子少了半个的灰衣人，一张脸始终阴阳怪气，连瞧都未瞧银花娘一眼，像是对她全不感兴趣。 但等到他走过银花娘身旁时，却冷不防伸出手，在银花娘屁股上捏了一把，痛得银花娘眼泪都几乎流了出来。 银花娘却在他耳旁媚笑道：“我只当你是好人，谁知真咬人的狗才是不叫的。” 灰衣人头也不回，冷冷道：“吃人的狼，也是不叫的。” 银花娘瞪着他笑道：“你是狼？” 灰衣人道：“灰狼！” 四个人一进屋子，“红虎”赵刚就四脚八叉地往床上一倒，抓过棉被闻了闻，大笑道：“格老子，这女人身上好香，连被都被她染香了，老子简直全身都在发痒，恨不得把她压死才过瘾。” 灰狼冷笑道：“老二只怕已忘了咱们是为什么来的？” 银花娘媚笑道：“各位无论是为什么来的，先喝杯酒没关系吧？” 她已倒了四杯酒，用盘子托着，盈盈走了过来。 白蛇郎君咯咯笑道：“姑娘玉手纤纤，却不知倒出来的酒，是否有毒的。” 红虎跳了起来，在银花娘手上摸了一把，大笑道：“这只又白又嫩的小手倾出来的酒，就算有毒，老子也喝了。”果然抢过杯酒，仰着脖子喝了下去。 “黑豹”秦彪瞪着他，过了半晌，他全没有丝毫中毒的模样子，倒反而更得意了，秦彪道：“在俺们面前下毒么……嘿嘿，这位姑娘像是这么蠢的人么？” 说话间，他也端起杯酒，喝了下去。 这时远在对面屋脊上的梅四蟒忍不住悄声问道：“你想这酒中可有毒么？” 金燕子道：“大概没有吧，唉！她原该下毒的。” 梅四蟒微笑道：“姑娘若如此想，就错了，酒中下毒，太容易被人发现，也太冒险，令妹绝不会用这么蠢的法子。” 金燕子叹道：“她难道还有别的法子？” 梅四蟒道：“以老朽看来，令妹的手段，只怕要比姑娘高得多，比老朽高得多，今天的事，只怕已用不着咱们费心了。” 只见银花娘将酒捧到白蛇郎君面前，道：“公子难道就不赏贱妾一个薄面么？” 白蛇郎君咯咯笑道：“却不知姑娘要给在下什么东西下酒？” 银花娘媚眼一抛，道：“公子要什么下酒？” 白蛇郎君诡笑道：“我兄弟一路跟着姑娘到这里，为的是什么，姑娘还会不知道？” 银花娘咬着嘴唇，笑道：“那些东西既不甜，也不咸，怎么能下酒？” 白蛇郎君道：“那些东西虽然不甜不咸，但在下只要瞧一眼，至少也能喝他个三大杯，但是不知道姑娘肯不肯拿出来就是了。” 银花娘媚笑道：“公子既然吩咐，贱妾怎么敢不从命呢。” 她忽然将屋角里一张白布床单掀了起来。 众人只觉眼睛一亮，满室珠光宝气，将灯光都压了下去，这床单下盖着的，竟然是四恶兽梦想不到的珍宝。 四个人眼睛又直了，白蛇郎君身子更是抖个不停。 红虎忍不住蹿过去，抓起一把珠宝，大笑道：“老子真也没有想到这一票竟有如此肥，做过这一票后，我兄弟只怕都可以太太平平享几年福了。” 白蛇郎君咯咯笑道：“只可惜这些珠宝还是这位姑娘的，人家肯不肯送给咱们，还是问题呢。” 红虎大吼道：“老子们搬走就是了，还问她肯不肯。” 白蛇郎君笑嘻嘻道：“问总是要问问的。” 红虎吼道：“好，老子就问问。小宝贝，你肯不肯呀，哈哈，老子们还要问她肯不肯，哈……” 他似乎越想越觉好笑，竟笑得弯下腰去。 银花娘声色不动，嫣然道：“贱妾知道四位要来，早已将这些东西都准备在这里了。” 红虎大笑道：“老子早已瞧出你这女人是聪明人。” 银花娘道：“贱妾不但要将这些珠宝送给四位，还有件更珍贵的东西，贱妾也愿意送给四位，却不知四位肯不肯要。” 红虎瞪大了眼睛，叫道：“还有更珍贵的东西？在哪里？快拿来给老子看看。” 银花娘眼波流动，嫣然笑道：“在贱妾自己说来，最珍贵之物是什么，四位难道还猜不出？” 红虎急得直抓脑袋，大叫道：“老子猜不出，你快说，那究竟是什么？” 银花娘媚笑道：“各位就算猜不出，也总该瞧得见吧。” 她纤手轻轻一拉，浅红色的纱衣，已飘然落在地上，只剩下一层薄如蝉羽的白纱，裹着她丰满而又窈窕的胴体，坚挺的胸膛，修长的双腿…… 灯光映着珠光，光辉流动，窗外有微风吹入，吹得轻纱飘飞，看来就仿佛是雾，她晶莹的肌肤，也在雾里发着光。 四恶兽的眼珠子都似乎要凸出来，喘息也越来越粗，他们本来还有三分像人，此刻也完全变成饥饿的恶兽。 红虎喉结上下滚动，连咽了七八口口水，嘎声道：“宝贝，这果然是天下第一的宝贝，那个龟儿子若说这不是宝贝，老子就把他两只眼珠子挖出来。” 白蛇郎君抖得几乎连腰都快抖断了，吃吃道：“姑……姑娘真的要将这宝贝送给咱们？” 银花娘从鼻子“嗯”了一声，咬着嘴唇笑道：“谁家的少年不多情，那个少女不怀春，一个女人长大了，她要的就不再是珠宝，而是男人。” 她指着胸膛的手，缓缓往下滑，腻声道：“各位总能瞧得出，我已不再是小孩子了吧。” 红虎怪笑道：“那个龟儿子若说你还是孩子，老子就把他塞回娘肚子里去。” “黑豹”秦彪忽然厉声道：“像你这样千娇百媚的女子，要找男人也可以找上一箩，又怎偏偏会找着俺，你究竟在打什么鬼主意？” 银花娘浅笑道：“四位虽然说不上怎么英俊，但却都是堂堂皇皇的男子汉，顶天立地的英雄，只有那些不懂事的女孩子，才会喜欢绣花枕头，我……” 她仿佛不胜娇羞，垂下了头，吃吃笑道：“我喜欢的却是男人，真正的男人。” 红虎一拍巴掌，怪叫道：“格老子，你真说对了，你果然有眼光，那些油头粉脸的小伙子，哪里有老子管用，只要你两条腿一夹，只怕就把他们的蛋黄都夹出来了。” 银花娘忽然叹了口气，道：“只不过，贱妾也有件为难的事。” 红虎瞪眼道：“你为难什么？” 银花娘眼波在这四人身上打了个转，叹道：“这些珠宝虽可分成四份，但是却只有一个人……” 红虎狂吼道：“这四个人里，只有老子还没得婆娘，你这宝贝自然是老子的。” 银花娘垂首道：“赵公子雄姿英发，豪气如云，可算是真正的男子汉，贱妾能嫁得如此夫婿，还有什么话说，只不过……” 她嘴里说着话，眼睛却在偷偷瞧着“黑豹”秦彪。 秦彪果然等不及她的话说完，已厉声道：“赵老二，别的东西俺都可让你，但这宝贝却是俺秦老大的。” 红虎狂笑道：“老大？嘿嘿，若不是老子让你，你能当得了老大？” 黑豹怒道：“你不服气？” 红虎道：“老子服你，老子凭什么服你？” 银花娘眼睛里发着光，口中却道：“两位千万莫要争吵，贤昆仲若是为贱妾伤了和气，贱妾就不知道该如何才能赎罪了。” 白蛇郎君咯咯笑道：“这位姑娘说的不错，我兄弟若为此伤了和气，岂非令人笑掉大牙，依小弟之见，这宝贝属谁，还是该问问她自己。” 他自命风流潇洒，在这四人中又长得最俊，这“宝贝”自然不会瞧上别人，但黑豹、红虎、灰狼，却也都以为银花娘的心上人是自己，否则那双勾魂夺魄的媚眼，又怎会老是往自己这边飞过来。 白蛇话未说完，黑豹、红虎、灰狼已齐声道：“这法子最好。” 红虎大笑接着道：“小宝贝，你是彩楼上的王宝钏，老子就是薛平贵，你不选我选谁？” 银花娘垂着头，咬着嘴唇，像是为难得很，那双水汪汪的眼睛，却还是不停在四人身上瞟来瞟去。 黑豹挺胸道：“你心里喜欢的是谁，只管说出来，莫要害怕。” 红虎立刻道：“不错，你要选老子，说出来就是，那个龟儿子敢动你一根毫毛，老子不砸扁他脑袋才怪？” 他们每个人都以为银花娘选的必是自己，再无别人——一个女人能让每个男人都自我陶醉，这可不是容易事。 梅四蟒远远瞧得不住叹气，他们做梦也想不到金燕子会有这样个妹妹，他心里苦笑暗道：“幸亏我已六十八了，否则说不定我也要跳下去……”
