Chapter 33 Chapter Thirty-Third

After hearing Yu Peiyu's words, Zhu Lei'er was stunned again, and suddenly covered her face and burst into tears, stomping her feet again and said, "Do you think I deserve to say that? Don't you only have Lin Daiyu in your heart? Am I wrong? ? Is it wrong to blame you?" Yu Peiyu said nothing. After crying for a while, Zhu Lei'er seemed to feel that crying was enough, and murmured: "Maybe I'm wrong, I talk too much, I cry a lot, and I often say wrong things to make you angry, why don't you leave me alone?" people go?" Yu Peiyu still didn't say anything, just took her hand lightly, and Zhu Lei'er obediently followed him out.

Isn't silence the best way to deal with women. ※※※ Yu Peiyu knew that walking out of the tunnel was the desolate temple. Yu Fanghe's subordinates kidnapped Tang Wushuang and killed Tang Jue. It was in that temple that Yu Peiyu met Guo Pianxian for the first time, and he couldn't help but think of that Zhong Jinglai, a girl suffering from love. Where are they now?Is it life or death? He thought of Yinhuaniang again, and thought of her tragic ending, so the faces of Jinhuaniang, Tiehuaniang, and Jinyanzi seemed to have appeared before his eyes again. Of course, he couldn't forget Lin Daiyu even more.

Yu Peiyu sighed for a long time, and thought sadly: "Their experiences are so unfortunate. Is it really because I hurt them..." None of the girls he met seemed to be happy or lucky. What is this for? Peerless beauties are often considered "disasters", so what should such a peerless beauty be like Yu Peiyu? Scourge? Yu Peiyu herself didn't know whether to cry or laugh three times. The exit of the tunnel is a rotatable stone cover, so there will never be any sound when it moves. Besides, there are barren mountains and wild temples outside, and there are no people in the apricot, so it doesn't matter if there is a sound.

But Yu Peiyu was still very cautious. He moved the stone cover away first. It was darker outside, and he could hardly see his fingers. Even if there were stars and moonlight, they couldn't shine here. And darkness and silence are always the best companions, except for the sound of her own heartbeat, Yu Peiyu can't hear anything, and the wind has stopped. Only then did Yu Peiyu pull Zhu Lei'er up. At this moment, there was a burst of laughter in the darkness. One person smiled leisurely and said, "Are you two here now? I have been waiting for you for a long time." Yu Peiyu was startled and backed away, but the lights were bright.

Zhu Lei'er lost her voice and said: "Yang Zijiang, you are really haunted, why are you here again?" Yang Zijiang smiled and said, "Maybe it's because I have a special relationship with the two of you." I saw him sitting cross-legged on the ground, in front of him was a large jar of wine, several packages of greasy vegetables, a lamp, and a torch. He smiled and continued: "I brought the food and wine from the Tang family. Although the food and wine are already cold, since I didn't spend any money, I had no choice but to make do with it. Come, come, let's have a drink together."

Yu Peiyu looked at him quietly for a while, then smiled and said, "Thank you." He actually walked over and sat down, raised his glass and drank it, Zhu Lei'er wanted to snatch it and take a sip first, but it was too late. Yang Zijiang laughed and said: "Brother Yu, your martial arts are not very good, and you may not be much handsomer than me, but you are really calmer than me. Even I can't help but admire you for this. Come on, I respect you." You drink." He suddenly smiled at Zhu Lei'er again, and said: "Miss Zhu, please rest assured, there is no poison in the wine, I have many ways to kill people, there is no need to poison."

Zhu Lei'er rolled her eyeballs, and said calmly: "But I have only one way to kill people, that is, to poison. I can poison anytime, anywhere. I don't know how many people have been poisoned to death, but no one has ever known who they are. How did you die?" She suddenly smiled at Yang Zijiang and said, "Maybe I have poisoned the glass of wine in your hand, do you believe it?" If someone else said this, Yang Zijiang might have laughed and drank the glass of wine in his hand immediately, but since the words were spoken by the daughter of the "Ecstasy Palace Master", the weight would be quite different.

Yang Zijiang looked at the glass of wine in his hand, still smiled and said: "If you really poisoned this glass of wine, you wouldn't tell me, would you?" Zhu Lei'er said sweetly, "Why don't you try it?" Yang Zijiang was startled, even though he knew that there was no poison in this glass of wine, he couldn't drink it anymore. Zhu Lei'er said: "Aren't you always very courageous?" Yang Zijiang said: "I'm really very courageous, but when I'm provoked, I will become less courageous." Zhu Lei'er took the wine glass in his hand with two fingers, poured the wine into Yu Peiyu's glass, and said with a smile: "It's a pity that the wine is ruined. Since he doesn't drink it, you can drink it."

Yu Peiyu smiled and drank it down. Zhu Lei'er smiled and said: "Look, there is no poison in the wine, why don't you dare to drink it? You don't even have the guts to do so, I'm ashamed for you." Yang Zijiang didn't change his expression, he still smiled and said: "It's better to be more careful, besides, if you have wine, you must respect the guests first." He poured another glass of wine into the jar and said, "I can drink this glass of wine with confidence." Zhu Lei'er blinked her eyes and said, "That's right, there is no poison in this glass of wine, drink it quickly."

Yang Zijiang stared at the glass of wine in a daze for a while, then smiled and said, "I'll go crazy if I drink too much wine, I'd better drink a couple of glasses less." Zhu Lei'er smiled coquettishly: "Look, you dare not drink the wine if I say it is poisonous, and you dare not drink it if I say it is not poisonous, what should I say to make you dare to drink this glass of wine?" Yang Zijiang smiled and said, "No matter what you say, I won't drink anymore." He put down his wine glass and murmured: "I saved her life, but she wouldn't even let me drink a glass of wine. It seems that people really cannot be saved."

Zhu Lei'er suddenly lowered her face and said, "Who told you to save us? You killed Tang Jue, Jin Hua Niang, and Tie Hua Niang, why didn't you kill us? Instead, you came to save us?" Yang Zijiang smiled and said, "Don't you want me to kill you to be happy?" Zhu Lei'er sneered and said, "You didn't plan on us, you are smart, otherwise you will be in big trouble." Yang Zijiang said: "When I kill someone, I don't ask if there is any trouble. I just ask whether the person should be killed or not?" He suddenly lowered his face, and said: "Let me ask you, if a person wants to marry a wife, he refuses to recognize his relatives, and even sells his brothers and sisters. Should such a person be killed or not?" Zhu Lei'er said: "This...you forced him to do this, how can you blame him?" Yang Zijiang said: "If I force you to kill Yu Peiyu, will you be willing?" Zhu Lei'er said loudly: "Of course I don't want to." Yang Zijiang said: "That's right. Whether I force you or not is one thing, but whether you are willing to do it is another matter. If Tang Jue is as loyal to his family as you are to Yu Peiyu, we will force you to What use is he?" Zhu Lei'er was startled, and said: "But what about Jinhua Niang? Why do you..." Yang Zijiang interrupted and said, "Jinhua Niang? When did I hurt a single hair of her? What does it have to do with me if she wants to commit suicide? There are many stupid women like her in the world, and I don't know how many people die every day. Could it be that Do you blame me too?" Zhu Lei'er sneered and said, "You push it all the way, so you are a good person?" Yang Zijiang said with a smile: "I don't dare to take it, but even if I beg me to kill someone who shouldn't be killed, I won't bother to do it." Zhu Lei'er narrowed her eyes and said sharply: "Then what about Tie Hua Niang? What's wrong with her?" Yang Zijiang said: "Tie Hua Niang? Who said I killed her?" Zhu Lei'er said, "I said so." Yang Zijiang said: "Did you see that I killed her? Did you see her body? How do you know she's dead?" Zhu Lei'er sneered and said, "I don't need to see it with my own eyes, I also know that she died at your hands." Yang Zijiang said: "What if she is not dead?" Zhu Lei'er said: "If she is not dead, I will... just swallow this wine jar." Yang Zijiang smiled and said: "You must never swallow a wine jar, otherwise people will be surprised when they see your big belly, how can an unmarried girl be pregnant with twins." Zhu Lei'er blushed and said angrily: "Who said my belly is big?" Yang Zijiang said: "If there are two jars in the stomach, how can it be small?" Zhu Lei'er was stunned again, and said, "Two jars? Where did you get the two jars?" Yang Zijiang said with a leisurely smile: "The girl already has a vinegar jar, and she will swallow a wine jar, not two jars, but how many?" If a girl can't speak up to others, instead of crying and screaming, she has to pretend to be a fool, and tell eighteen stories about the wrong reason, until the other person's head is as big as a fight, and she surrenders and admits defeat. It's a pity that Zhu Lei'er also knows that it's useless to deal with people like Yang Zijiang.She stared for a long time, she could only smile, and said: "Okay, I can't say no to you, if you are a woman, you must be a standard gossip, no matter who encounters a gossip, they will have to admit that they are unlucky." Yu Peiyu suddenly smiled and said: "Brother Yang has been here for a long time, is it just to quarrel with her?" This time Yang Zijiang was also stunned. Zhu Lei'er tried all means, but there was nothing he could do about it, but Yu Peiyu's understatement made him speechless. Yang Zijiang was stunned for a while, then suddenly burst out laughing, and said: "A dog that bites does not bark. This is indeed true. It seems that from now on, I will really look at Brother Yu with new eyes." Yu Peiyu smiled and didn't speak, and didn't answer at all. Yang Zijiang could only hold back his laughter, and said sternly, "I'm here to meet you, just to know that Brother Yu is an honest gentleman." Yu Peiyu said: "Don't dare." Yang Zijiang said: "I hate hypocrites the most in my life, but I have always admired a true gentleman like Brother Yu." Yu Peiyu said: "Don't dare." Yang Zijiang said: "Especially a young and old man like Brother Yu who endures humiliation..." Zhu Lei'er couldn't help shouting: "Speak quickly if you have something to say, and let go of fart if you have to, it's useless to flatter you. Anyway, he still has the same two words: 'Don't dare'." Yang Zijiang laughed dryly, and said: "I just want to ask Brother Yu one thing. An honest gentleman like Brother Yu will not be able to deceive each other with empty words." Sure enough, Yu Peiyu still smiled and said, "Don't dare." Yang Zijiang said: "I just want to ask Brother Yu, who killed Tang Wushuang? Did Miss Tang kill him? Why did she kill him? Did she know that he was a fake? But how did she know?" ?” Yu Peiyu pondered for a while, then laughed again: "This is not one thing, it's five things." Yang Zijiang stared at Yu Peiyu with burning eyes and said, "Then let me ask Brother Yu five things." Yu Peiyu said slowly: "Since brother Yang is not ashamed to ask, I naturally dare not deceive each other with false words, but..." Yang Zijiang said: "Just what?" Yu Peiyu suddenly shut her mouth and stopped talking. Zhu Lei'er clapped her hands and laughed, "Don't you understand what he means? He doesn't have to lie to you, but he can also keep his mouth shut. I just realized now that this is really a good way to deal with gossips." Yang Zijiang suddenly stood up and said sharply, "Don't tell me." Zhu Lei'er also jumped up, staring and said: "So what if you don't say anything?" Yang Zijiang's face gradually turned blue, Zhu Lei'er only thought that he was going to make a move after all, and couldn't help feeling nervous, because she also knew that if he made a move, it would be a big deal. Unexpectedly, Yang Zijiang suddenly laughed again, and said: "Since brother Yu refuses to tell, let's say I didn't ask." Zhu Lei'er was startled again, and said, "Why are you suddenly so polite?" Yang Zijiang said: "It's just because I really want to make friends with Brother Yu. If Brother Yu is willing to move to the humble house to have a drink or two, it will be enough for me to comfort myself for the rest of my life." Zhu Lei'er was surprised: "To your house? You also have a home?" Yang Zijiang said with a smile: "Everyone has a family, how can I be an exception." Zhu Lei'er said: "That's right, even a mouse has a hole, let alone you, but where is your hole?" Yang Zijiang said: "The humble house is not far in front, and the two side dishes cooked by my wife are quite good for drinking." Zhu Lei'er was taken aback again, and lost her voice: "Your wife? You also have a wife?" Yang Zijiang said with a smile: "If there are male mice, there will naturally be female mice. Otherwise, where would the little mice come from?" Zhu Lei'er sighed, and said: "What the hell are you doing? Even I was confused by you, but I couldn't help but want to see what kind of person your wife is. You are actually willing to marry a monster like you." Yang Zijiang said: "I don't know if brother Yu is willing to reward him?" Yu Peiyu smiled, before she could speak, Zhu Lei'er rushed to say: "I think he can't help but go and have a look, can't he?" Yang Zijiang clapped his hands and said: "Since the girl said so, even if Brother Yu doesn't want to go." ※※※ In fact, Yu Peiyu also wanted to see him very much. He found that Yang Zijiang was not only mysterious, but also weird, not only scary, but also very interesting. No one can refuse this kind of invitation. Sure enough, Yang Zijiang's home was not far away. When they got there, it was still before dawn, and there were three or five thatched huts at the foot of the mountain, and there was still smoke curling from the roof.Zhu Lei'er blinked and said: "It seems that your wife is really hardworking, she got up so early to cook." Yang Zijiang said: "It's just because she also knows that there will be a distinguished guest coming, so naturally she has to make preparations early." Zhu Lei'er was surprised: "Did she know we were coming?" Yang Zijiang smiled and said: "I will tell you two, if I don't bring you back today, she will never let me in." Zhu Lei'er became even more confused, and said: "Why does she insist on you bringing us home, does she still recognize us?" Yang Zijiang smiled but didn't answer, as if he was getting more and more mysterious. Zhu Lei'er said: "Hey, I'm asking you, why don't you speak?" Yang Zijiang said with a smile: "I learned this method from Brother Yu. This is what you learn and sell now." Zhu Lei'er said angrily: "Okay, it's fine if you don't tell me, anyway, I'll know soon." The bamboo fence outside the thatched hut is covered with ivy, the firewood gate is half-hidden, and the chrysanthemums in the small garden are in full bloom, which looks quite charming in the night. Yang Zijiang greeted the guest with a smile, it seemed that he really seemed like a warm host, but what the hell was going on in his heart?Then only God knows. At the front door of the small hall, there is a divine table for the statues of "Taoyuan Sanjieyi" and Guanyin, and a table of eight immortals is placed in front of it. This is exactly the layout of a standard farm cottage, Zhu Lei'er looked horizontally and vertically, but she couldn't see any abnormalities, and because there were no abnormalities, she felt even more strange. Yang Zijiang didn't seem like a person who would live in this kind of place. I saw that the table was indeed filled with large and small bowls of dishes, some of which were still steaming, and there was a large pot of porridge and a large pot of wine beside them. Zhu Lei'er was not too polite, she just sat down and ate. After tossing around for most of the night, she was really hungry, and she smiled while eating: "Well, your wife is really good at cooking. If you marry a wife who can cook, You are really lucky." Yang Zijiang smiled and said, "I'm afraid these rough vegetables are not to your liking." Yu Peiyu said: "Where is Mrs. Sister-in-law? Why don't you come out and let me see you later." Yang Zijiang said: "I'm afraid she is still busy in the kitchen." I only heard the sound of knives and ladles coming out of the inner hall. Yu Peiyu said: "There are already so many dishes, if my sister-in-law is still busy, how can we live in peace." Yang Zijiang said: "There is a distinguished guest, so naturally she has to work hard." Yu Peiyu smiled and said: "Does the Xian couple have to burst our stomachs? Let's ask my wife to come out." Yang Zijiang also smiled and said: "Okay, okay, since that's the case, it's better to be respectful than obey orders." If anyone else saw this situation and heard what they said, they must think that this was a country couple receiving rich relatives from the city. Others probably wouldn't even dream of it, but what these three people said was very commonplace, but what they were thinking about was the most complicated and mysterious things. Of course, no one would have thought that the three people sitting in this place eating and chatting, one is a son of a martial arts family who bears a strange injustice, bears the burden of humiliation, and has caused countless troubles in the arena; A mysterious quack who possesses unique skills, and the other is the daughter of the "Ecstasy Palace Master". If someone was really watching from the side, after knowing the real identities of these three people, they would probably turn around in horror and flee, even if they killed him, they would not dare to come back. Only Yang Zijiang said with a smile: "Sooner or later, the ugly daughter-in-law will inevitably see her in-laws, you should come out." Sure enough, there was a delicate voice in the kitchen and said with a smile: "I'll come out after frying this plate of shrimp." Zhu Lei'er's eyes were straightened, and she said: "Whose voice is this, it sounds very familiar." Yang Zijiang smiled and said, "Since we are very familiar, why can't you hear it?" Zhu Lei'er said: "Speaking next to the oil pan, her voice will naturally be changed, otherwise I will definitely hear it." Yu Peiyu also showed surprise on her face, at this moment, the door curtain was lifted, and a woman in Tsing Yi came out with a plate of steaming fried shrimp. Seeing her, Yu Peiyu and Zhu Lei'er were really stunned. ※※※ Yang Zijiang's wife is actually Tie Hua Niang. This is really unimaginable, even if a three-headed and six-armed dominatrix suddenly walked out of the kitchen, it would not surprise them even more. Zhu Lei'er opened her mouth wide, her jaw seemed to be about to drop - although her jaw didn't drop, the piece of sweet and sour pork ribs she had just put into her mouth did. Tie Hua Niang blushed and smiled sweetly, bowed her head and said, "Don't make fun of poorly fried vegetables." Yu Peiyu said: "Sister-in-law... Madam sister-in-law, don't be polite." Although he was very calm, he couldn't help being tongue-tied at this moment. He didn't know how much effort he had to use to say the word "sister-in-law". Tie Huaniang's face turned even redder, and she said, "Eat the shrimp while it's hot, and Mr. Yu, don't be too polite." Yu Peiyu said: "Yes, yes, yes, I'm not welcome." He really didn't know what to say, so he just stuffed his mouth with shrimp. No matter what, Yu Peiyu was finally able to hold her breath, but Zhu Lei'er couldn't hold back anymore, she jumped up suddenly and said loudly: "Are you really married to him?" Tie Hua Niang raised her head, looked at her with a smile, and said slowly: "Sooner or later, a woman must get married." Zhu Lei'er sat down on the chair again, shook her head and sighed: "I really don't understand, how could you marry this monster." Yang Zijiang smiled and said: "You see me as a monster, but she doesn't feel weird about me at all. This is called radish and green vegetables. Everyone has their own love. Otherwise, if all the women in the world are like you, Miss Zhu, they will only be pleasing to the eye when they look at Brother Yu." , wouldn’t that be bad.” He suddenly picked up the jar of wine and murmured: "I don't know how the wine jar tastes? I don't know who has the good fortune to taste it." Zhu Lei'er took a long breath and said: "You don't need to provoke me. Since I lost, I will naturally swallow the wine jar. What's so great about swallowing a small wine jar? In my opinion, it's better than eating Cabbage is easy." Yang Zijiang laughed and said: "If you really have this ability, we really admire you." Zhu Lei'er said: "Okay, just watch." She actually brought the wine jar over, Yang Zijiang's eyes couldn't help but straighten, because he also knew that this girl could do anything, maybe she would swallow the wine jar, he couldn't help it I can't wait to see what method she uses. Seeing Zhu Lei'er holding the wine jar and looking left and right, she suddenly shook her head and said, "No, no." Yang Zijiang said: "What's wrong?" Zhu Lei'er said: "What I was talking about just now was the wine jar, not this one. Go to the Earth Temple and get that wine jar." Yang Zijiang finally couldn't help laughing. Zhu Lei'er stared and said: "What are you laughing at? Get it quickly, I have long wanted to taste the taste of that wine jar, and now I can't wait." Yang Zijiang said slowly: "Young lady said so, presumably because I must be too lazy to get it. In fact, the Earth Temple is not too far from here, so it doesn't matter if I just go there." While talking, he actually stood up. Zhu Lei'er rolled her eyes and said with a sneer, "If you want to go, go quickly, I don't have time to wait for you here." Tie Hua Niang smiled and said, "If he really goes to fetch it, I'll eat half of it for you." Zhu Lei'er said: "Hmph, if I want to eat, I will eat one, half of it is too little for me." Yang Zijiang said: "It seems that girl, you will never admit defeat." Zhu Lei'er raised her head and said, "Why should I admit defeat?" Yang Zijiang laughed and said: "But you just have to rest assured, if I really went to bring that wine jar, it would be too spoiled. How dare I be rude and insist on you eating the wine jar?" Zhu Lei'er said: "It's because you don't take it yourself, it's not that I dare not eat it." Yang Zijiang smiled and said: "Yes, yes, not to mention a wine jar, even if it is more than two hundred, the girl can still eat it." Zhu Lei'er couldn't help laughing "Puchi" and said: "That's not bad at all, you've learned to be good at last." Suddenly, there was a faint neighing sound from a distance. Although the sound was far away, it was very clear in the deep mountains before dawn. Zhu Lei'er frowned and said, "Could it be that you still have guests?" Yang Zijiang said: "It seems so." Zhu Lei'er said: "The one who came on horseback must be from afar." Yang Zijiang said: "It seems to be good." Zhu Lei'er was moved and said, "Who is here?" Yang Zijiang smiled slightly and said, "Miss, who do you want to come?" Zhu Lei'er sneered and said, "It's just your gangsters." Yang Zijiang suddenly slapped the table and said with a big laugh, "That's not bad at all, this time you've finally learned your lesson." Hearing the sound of hooves getting closer and closer, he really came straight to the thatched hut, and the sound of hooves was suddenly dense, and there seemed to be quite a few people coming. Zhu Lei'er's face turned pale, and she winked at Yu Peiyu, but Yu Peiyu kept smiling, as if she didn't hear anything. Yang Zijiang suddenly patted the table again, and said, "Yu Peiyu, Yu Peiyu, you are really full of courage, even I admire you." Yu Peiyu smiled and said, "I dare not be that." Yang Zijiang said: "If you weren't so bold, how dare you follow me here?" Yu Peiyu said: "The scenery here is excellent, and my wife cooks such good dishes, there is no reason not to come here." Yang Zijiang stared at him with burning eyes and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will lead you into the tiger's mouth?" Yu Peiyu smiled and said, "I know Xiongtai is not like that." Yang Zijiang said: "You know people, you don't know your face, you don't know your heart, brother Yu, don't take me as a good person." Yu Peiyu said lightly: "If your Excellency really intends to do harm, you don't have to wait until now, let alone go through so much trouble." Yang Zijiang stared at him for a while, then looked up and laughed loudly: "Brother Yu used the heart of a gentleman to save the belly of a villain, I'm afraid you will regret it." He scolded himself desperately, but Yu Peiyu explained for him again and again, Zhu Lei'er really couldn't laugh or cry, and didn't know why Yu Peiyu trusted him so much. She always felt that this person was unreliable, but it was too late to leave at this time, only to hear Yang Zijiang's sudden laughter, and the sound of horseshoes had stopped in front of the thatched cottage. A person outside the bamboo fence said in a deep voice, "Is anyone there?" Yang Zijiang said: "You obviously know someone, why do you ask?" The man apologized and said with a smile: "When we arrive at Mr. Yang's mansion, how dare I rush in here at will." Yang Zijiang frowned and said, "You are already very polite, come in quickly." Just hearing the sound of footsteps, three people have already walked in. Two of them were holding a suitcase in their hands. The suitcase was very big and seemed to be quite heavy, but the two held it with their hands lightly, as if it was not strenuous at all. The face of the other person, Bai Shengsheng, is not ugly, he is always smiling, the clothes on his body fit well, and the knife hanging by his waist looks very expensive, and there is nothing unsightly about his whole body. A place that is pleasing to the eye, but somehow, he is just not pleasing to the eye. Zhu Lei'er only felt that this person looked very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before, but Yu Peiyu had already seen that he was also one of those people who watched Yu Fanghe play chess with "Tang Wushuang" in Lidu Town that day, And when Yu Fanghe went to Mr. Feng San's small building later, he also followed. As soon as this person walked in, his eyes were fixed on the faces of Yu Peiyu and Zhu Lei'er, and after a couple of glances, the expressions on their faces changed a bit. Yu Peiyu remained calm, as if she didn't recognize him. Yang Zijiang said: "Have you brought what I want?" The two people carrying the box said, "It's in this box." Yang Zijiang said: "It can't be wrong." The two laughed and said, "Young master's entrustment, how could it be wrong." The eyes of these two people also rolled on Yu Peiyu's face, obviously harboring some malicious intentions. Yang Zijiang suddenly said loudly: "So did you recognize each other?" The white-faced man with the sword was taken aback, and smiled apologetically, "No... I don't recognize it." Yang Zijiang smiled and said, "Since I don't recognize him, I'll introduce you for you." He pointed to the two men carrying the box and said, "These two are called 'Shanshandao' Song Gang, and the other is called 'Dahuquan' Zhao Qiang. It is said that they are still famous figures in the northern Jiangsu area." Zhao Qiang and Song Gang both apologized and said with a smile: "Don't dare." Yang Zijiang continued coldly: "Actually, this 'mountain splitting knife' can only chop firewood at best. Then the 'Tiger Fist', hehe, not only can't kill a tiger, it can't even beat a cat." Zhao Qiang and Song Gang's faces were green and pale, they didn't dare to turn their faces, they couldn't laugh even if they wanted to, even Zhu Lei'er felt that they were a little pitiful. Yang Zijiang pointed to the white-faced man again and said: "This one's martial arts are better than those two, he is called 'Jade Face Sword' Cao Ziying, although the knife hanging by his waist can't cut gold and jade, it can't It can also be worth a few taels of silver, and if you play a few knives and tricks, it will be enough for people to watch for a long time." Cao Ziying couldn't help showing a look of complacency on his face, and said with a smile: "Young master, I'm overwhelmed." Yang Zijiang ignored him, and continued: "It's just that this man hides a knife in his smile, and his stomach is full of bad water. He is a hypocrite who 'calls his brother in his mouth, but pays for his money'. He is similar to his eighty-eight generation ancestor Cao Cao." Cao Ziying was actually still laughing, but it was a bit forced. Yu Peiyu clasped her fists together and said, "Jiu Yang." Yang Zijiang said: "You don't need to be polite to them. These three are Yu Fanghe's best friends. If there is a chance to kill you, they will never be polite to you." Zhu Lei'er suddenly said: "The three of you have come from afar, don't they just want our lives?" Cao Ziying chuckled, and said, "It depends on Mr. Yang's intentions. I'm also Mr. Yang's best friend." Zhu Lei'er suddenly stood up and stared at Yang Zijiang. Yang Zijiang said leisurely: "I don't care which one of you wants the life of the other, I only care about which one of you has the ability." He suddenly smiled at Cao Ziying and said, "I have put the food on the table, do you still want me to feed it into your mouths?" Cao Ziying was refreshed, and Zhao Qiang and Song Gang's eyes lit up. Zhu Lei'er said angrily: "It turns out that you tricked us here just to treat us as delicacies." Yang Zijiang sighed, and said: "I said long ago that I am a villain. Who told him to use the heart of a gentleman to save me from a villain? If he is fooled himself, he can't blame others." Yu Peiyu smiled lightly and said, "I am not blaming others." Cao Ziying winked at Zhao Qiang and Song Gang, and said, "Since that's the case, I'll have to..." Tie Huaniang suddenly said loudly: "I don't care what you want, but I can't spoil this table of food that I worked so hard to make. Even if you want to work hard, you have to wait until you finish eating my food." Cao Ziying said coldly, "Who is this girl?" Yang Zijiang said: "This is not a girl, but my wife." Cao Ziying was startled, and immediately apologized with a smile: "No wonder these dishes are delicious in color and fragrance, so they are Madam's masterpieces." Tie Hua Niang said: "You haven't eaten yet, how do you know how this dish tastes?" Cao Ziying smiled apologetically, "I've done business later, and it won't be too late to slowly enjoy Madam's delicious food." Tie Hua Niang said: "It will be too late by then, these dishes have to be eaten while they are still hot, besides, if one or two of you five die, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat all these dishes, it would be a pity to waste them." Yang Zijiang sighed again, and said: "If a woman cooks well and no one eats it, it's like slapping her in the face. I think you should eat first and then talk about it." Tie Hua Niang said with a smile: "Yes, you will have strength when you are full, and you will not be a starving ghost if you die." She hastily brought three pairs of chopsticks and distributed them to Cao Ziying and the three of them—now that she has chopsticks in her hand, how can she draw a knife? Zhao Qiang and Song Gang ran all the way, but they were already hungry. Although they were a bit reluctant to eat the first two chopsticks, they became more and more vigorous, and in the end it was like eating chopsticks like wind. Yang Zijiang laughed and said, "If the two of you are as quick as picking vegetables, I'm afraid brother Yu will really suffer today." Tie Hua Niang lightly slapped him on the ear, and laughed and cursed: "Look at you, you don't even look like a host at all, you should persuade the guests to eat more." Yang Zijiang also slapped her lightly on the ear, and said with a smile, "My dear wife, don't worry, if they don't eat all the dishes you cooked, no one is allowed to do anything." In front of five or six people, the two actually started flirting. Zhu Lei'er saw that their husband and wife were so affectionate as honey, she couldn't help being surprised and annoyed at the same time. She originally thought that Tie Huaniang was going to force Cao Ziying and others to eat the food first, so she must have other intentions, maybe she was trying to help her and Yu Peiyu in the dark, or even poisoned the food and wine, trying to kill Cao Ziying and the others. People are poisoned to death, but looking at it now, it is not the case at all. Tie Hua Niang really looked like a bride who was in the kitchen for the first time, eager to show off her skills, and there was not even a bit of poison in the dishes. It seems that Yang Zijiang has already made up his mind to sell Yu Peiyu to Yu Fanghe, but he is too lazy to do it. Although she is not afraid of people like Cao Ziying, if they can't deal with Yu Peiyu, Yang Zijiang will do it sooner or later. I am afraid that it is inevitable that I will be murdered. The more Zhu Lei'er thought about it, the more worried she was, how would she be able to eat this meal, she wanted to kick over the table, run away if she could, and act first if she couldn't. But Yu Peiyu seemed to be eating with relish, and even carefully seasoned the green beans and shrimp with chili sauce and vinegar, and slowly put it into his mouth after seasoning. Zhu Lei'er held back her anger and couldn't help but said, "Have you never eaten fried shrimp in your life?" Yu Peiyu swallowed all the shrimps in her mouth, took another sip of wine, then let out a long breath with her eyes closed, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to eat such good shrimps in the future, this is the last chance. How can I miss it." Zhu Lei'er almost cried out, but thinking of Yu Peiyu's hard work so far, it was inevitable that she would fall into Yu Fanghe's hands, and she felt sore in her heart. Yu Peiyu put a piece of duck in her bowl, and said: "This camphor tea duck is a famous dish in central Sichuan. Although it is not as fat and crisp as Peking duck, it has a special taste. You should try it too." Zhu Lei'er glanced at him and silently put the duck into her mouth. The camphor tea duck was indeed very fragrant, but Zhu Lei'er was fragrant in her mouth and bitter in her heart, even if the dish was ten times more fragrant than the camphor tea duck, she still tasted the same at this moment. Yang Zijiang said with a smile: "If you can marry a wife who can cook, that man is really lucky. Miss Zhu, in fact, you should also learn how to cook." Zhu Lei'er said bitterly: "I think you still married the wrong person." Yang Zijiang smiled and said, "Should I marry a girl?" Zhu Lei'er gritted her teeth and said: "You are so delicious, you should have married a cook, I only know how to cook cockroaches and burn scorpions." Yang Zijiang laughed and said: "It is said that the skinned centipede is the most crispy and fragrant delicacy in the world. I really want to try the girl's handicraft sometime." Zhu Lei'er sneered, "You must have a chance..." With an idea, she suddenly had an idea: "Tie Hua Niang didn't poison the vegetables, so can't I poison the vegetables too?" But she also knew that it was not an easy task to put poison in front of the eyes of these veterans, so she had to try to divert their attention first. Dim sum on the table had a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs with the most left over. Zhu Lei'er saw the target first, then suddenly smiled and said, "There is only one thing I don't understand, and I want to ask you guys for advice." Yang Zijiang smiled and said: "I never thought that you would have something you don't understand, girl. It's so rare." Zhu Lei'er said: "Yu Peiyu and your ally leader not only have no grievances or close grievances, but can also be said to be of the same clan, why do you have to struggle with him?" Yang Zijiang said: "Doesn't the girl even understand this?" Zhu Lei'er said, "Yes." Yang Zijiang said: "The leader went to Lidu Town to find something, but he still couldn't find it, and you were not burned to death. He suspected that the thing must have fallen into your hands. Things are important, and he always can't get them, of course he has trouble sleeping and eating." Yu Peiyu secretly wondered, he could no longer figure out what was so important about that all-white account book, why was Yu Fanghe so eager to get it? Hearing that Cao Ziying couldn't stop coughing, of course he wanted to interrupt Yang Zijiang's words and asked him not to continue, but Yang Zijiang ignored him at all, and continued: "Besides, the leader has put in a lot of effort, but he can't find out the master of Brother Yu. Origin and life experience, could it be that he, like Monkey King, came in and out of the stone suddenly? And he was born with a talent that is not very good, but it is by no means too bad?" Yu Peiyu smiled and said: "Brother Yang's master and origin, isn't it also very mysterious?" Yang Zijiang smiled and said, "Although you don't know my origin, the leader does." Yu Peiyu said: "Oh?" Yang Zijiang said: "You have such a mysterious background, your martial arts are not bad, and you always secretly oppose the leader, so he thinks that if you don't get rid of you first, it will be a big disaster sooner or later." 俞佩玉笑了笑，道：“盟主也未免将在下估计得太高了。” 曹子英等三人脸色发白，都在瞪着俞佩玉和杨子江，铁花娘只是含情脉脉地瞧着她的丈夫。 这种机会朱泪儿怎会错过，她早已在那盘糖醋排骨里下过了毒，莫说五六个人，就算要毒死五六十匹马，这毒的分量也已足够。 怎奈这些人却偏偏像是对这盘糖醋排骨一点兴趣也没有，十七块排骨还是十七块，根本没有人下过筷子。 朱泪儿越等越着急，终于沉不住气了，自己先夹了一块咀嚼起来，一面嚼，一面喃喃自语道：“这排骨倒比虾仁好吃多了，不甜不咸，恰到好处。” 她以为自己这番话也说得恰到好处，谁知那些人却偏偏像是没有听见，筷子还是不伸到那边去。 俞佩玉却偏偏夹起了一筷，笑道：“这么好吃的排骨，我倒要尝尝。” 该吃的不吃，不该吃的却来吃了。 朱泪儿简直气破肚子，又急得要命，只有伸出筷子在俞佩玉筷子一敲，将排骨敲丁下来，娇嗔道：“这么肥的排骨你也敢吃？难道不怕发胖么，大肚的男人我却最讨厌了。” 杨子江笑道：“一个男人是否讨厌，和肚子大小并没有关系的，你看这位曹兄，肚子一点也不大，却讨厌得要命。” 朱泪儿眼珠子一转，笑道：“你既然不怕肚子大，为什么不敢吃呢？” 杨子江摇着头笑道：“我是回回，不吃猪肉的。” 朱泪儿眼睛瞟着铁花娘，道：“这么好吃的排骨居然没有动，各位也未免太不给杨夫人面子了。” 铁花娘笑道：“不吃也好，我正好留着喂狗。” 曹子英刚伸出筷子，又缩了回去，干笑道：“在下孤家寡人一个，也不怕老婆说我胖，本来想尝尝的，但夫人这么一说，在下倒不好意思跟狗抢肉吃了。” 朱泪儿气得牙痒痒的，但是也只有望着他们干瞪眼，无论如何，她也不能硬将排骨塞进别人的嘴里呀。 曹子英摸了摸肚子，打了两个饱嗝，笑道：“其实在下等早已酒足饭咆，再吃只怕连肚子都要胀破了。” 杨子江悠然道：“既已酒足饭饱，就该办正事了。” 曹子英放下筷子，笑道：“在下还是先替嫂夫人将碗收了吧。” 铁花娘笑道：“用不着，我从小就喜欢听摔碎碗时的声音，何况这些也并不是什么好的瓷器。” 曹子英道：“既是如此，在下等就要放肆了。” 他先向赵强和宋刚两人打了个眼色，才瞪着俞佩玉阴恻恻笑道：“依在下良言相劝，俞公子还是老老实实地跟在下等去走一趟的好，免得大家伤了和气。” 赵强、宋刚两人一个已堵住了门，一个堵住了窗子，一个紧握着双拳，一个已抄起了钢刀。 杨子江拉着铁花娘退到一旁，笑道：“我们还是躲开些的好，你这件衣裳是新做的，莫要沾上了酱油。” 俞佩玉缓缓站了起来，向朱泪儿一笑，道：“这不关你的事，你也走开吧。” 朱泪儿脸色发白，咬着牙道：“我这件衣服不是新做的，莫说沾上酱油，就算沾上血也没关系。” 她嘴里说着话，忽然反手一掌向曹子英拍了过去。 她年纪虽小，出手却是又狠又快，怎奈曹子英也是个久经大敌的老狐狸，早已提防到这一着了。 他身形一转，刀已在手，大笑道：“两位既然不识……” “抬举”两字还未说出，他的嘴就像是忽然抽了筋，眼睛、鼻子、嘴，竟忽然间就收缩到一起，那模样显得又可怕，又滑稽。 朱泪儿亦不知这人为何忽然扮起鬼脸来了，也不禁怔了怔，第二掌还未拍出，曹子英身子忽也缩成一团。 再看宋刚、赵强两人，也早已滚倒在地上，身子已缩成个肉球，还在不停地抽搐着。 杨子江失笑道：“三位好生生的，怎地忽然变起把戏来了？” 铁花娘笑道：“他们喝了我的酒，吃了我的菜，不变场把戏给我看怎么行？我这酒菜难道是可以白吃白喝的么？” 只见曹子英、宋刚、赵强三人已一路抽搐，一路滚了出去，三人嘴里都在伊伊呀呀地乱喊乱叫，但一滚出门，叫声就忽然停顿，朱泪儿赶到门口一看，三个人已一动也不能动了。 杨子江叹了口气道：“服了'牵机药'果然似牵机，古人之言，诚不我欺……” 朱泪儿耸然回首，失声道：“牵机药？” 杨子江声道：“不错，牵机药，其药固然灵效如神，其名更是妙不可言，就连姑娘只怕也配不出这样的药，起不出这样的名字来。” 这“牵机药”乃是古来帝王要将近臣和妃子赐死时所用的毒药，与“钩吻”、“鹤顶红”，三毒并列，可称是历史上最有名的三种毒药。 俞佩玉纵不使毒，这“牵机药”的名字却也听说过，动容道：“两位在酒中下了牵机药？” 铁花娘笑道：“公子请放心，酒里是一点毒药也没有的。” 杨子江道：“菜里也没有。” 俞佩玉道：“那么……他们中的毒是从何而来的呢？” 杨子江拿起双筷子，铁花娘拿起了酒杯。 他们还未说话，朱泪儿已拍手笑道：“妙极妙极，看来你们真是天设的一对，地造的一双，夫妻俩一搭一档，竟连我都被骗过了。” 她笑着向俞佩玉道：“还是你有眼光，早就看出了他不会害你。” 杨子江道：“那倒也未必。” 朱泪儿道：“你若害他就不会帮他将那三人毒死了，我倒一向错怪了你。” 杨子江淡淡道：“我害死他们，只不过看他们不顺眼而已，等我看你们不顺眼时，照样也会毒死你们的。” 朱泪儿笑道：“你这人真奇怪，别人都拼命喜欢人家说自己好，只有你，却偏偏喜欢人家说你是坏蛋，而且越骂你，你越开心。” 杨子江道：“我本来就是坏蛋，人人都说我好，我也不会变做好蛋的。” 铁花娘笑道：“他从小挨骂挨惯了，三天不挨骂骨头都会发痒的，我嫁给他就是为了这缘故，因为我就喜欢骂人。” 朱泪儿笑道：“看来你可真嫁对人了，能够天天骂老公，而且老公绝不还嘴，能嫁到这种人，实在是你的福气。” 杨子江笑道：“姑娘若是羡慕，为何不也嫁给我呢？” 朱泪儿眨着眼，笑道：“可惜你已经有了老婆，否则……” 杨子江道：“老婆不怕多，多多益善。” 铁花娘吃吃笑道：“我们两人一齐骂他，他更要乐不可支了。” 朱泪儿抿嘴道：“只可惜我不喜欢骂人。” 杨子江道：“原来姑娘也和我一样，是喜欢挨骂的？” 朱泪儿啐道：“刚说你是君子，你的毛病就来了。” 杨子江忽然正色道：“我本来就非君子，我如是君子，现在食俞放鹤之禄，便该忠俞放鹤之事，但我却吃里扒外，这岂是君子的行径？” 朱泪儿道：“这么样说来，你杀了我们才能算是君子了。” 杨子江道：“那倒也不必，只不过至少也该点住你们的穴道，将你们装在箱子里，送到俞放鹤那里去才是。” 他说起“箱子”两个字，朱泪儿的目光就不由自主望到那两口箱子上去了，箱子很大，果然可以装得下一个人。 朱泪儿忍不住问道，“这两口箱子里是什么？” 杨子江道：“这两口箱子是俞放鹤要我去送给百花帮主君夫人的礼物。” 朱泪儿道：“礼物？什么礼物？” 杨子江笑了笑，道：“姑娘为何不猜上一猜？” 朱泪儿道：“我又不是诸葛亮，怎么猜得到你葫芦里卖的是什么药？” 杨子江道：“箱子里的东西是姑娘早已见过的……” 俞佩玉忽然一笑，道：“在下也来猜上一猜如何？” 杨子江笑道：“请便。” 俞佩玉道：“箱子里是人？” 杨子江道：“嗯。” 俞佩玉道：“是一男一女？” 杨子江道：“嗯。” 俞佩玉道：“是郭翩仙和钟静？” 杨子江目光闪动，凝注着俞佩玉，过了半晌，忽然长长叹息了一声，道：“这就难怪俞放鹤定要将你除去才安心，像你这样的聪明人，若是和我作对，只怕我也要寝食难安。” 朱泪儿动容道：“箱子里真是那姓郭的么？” 杨子江道：“一点也不错。” 朱泪儿道：“他怎会被曹子英他们装在箱子里的？” 杨子江道：“那日在李渡镇，他已被火烤晕了，就像烤猪般被人装在箱子里……” 他一面说着话，朱泪儿已赶过去要开箱子，谁知眼前一花，杨子江已坐在箱子上，悠然道：“这箱子姑娘动不得，除了君海棠外，任何人都动不得。” 朱泪儿瞪眼道：“谁说动不得？” 杨子江笑道：“姑娘用不着冲我瞪眼睛，这话可不是我说的。” 朱泪儿道：“不是你说的是谁说的？” 杨子江道：“当今的武林盟主俞老先生说的。” 朱泪儿道：“哈——你现在忽然又听起他的话来了吗？” 杨子江道：“嗯。” 朱泪儿跳了起来，大声道：“杨子江，我问你，你到底是我们的朋友，还是俞放鹤的走狗？” 杨子江悠然道：“做你们的朋友，可有什么好处？” 朱泪儿道：“当然有。” 杨子江道：“姑娘且说一两样来听听。” 朱泪儿怔了怔，道：“好处多得很，一时间也说不完。” 杨子江笑道：“姑娘若说不出，不如让我来替你说吧。” 他扳着手指头道：“第一样好处，你们可以帮我喝酒吃菜；第二样好处，我若闲得没事做时，可以去救你们；第三样好处……哈哈，好处实在太多了，一时间倒真说不完，只不过这种好处我还是宁可一样都没有的好。” 朱泪儿道：“那么你承认你是俞放鹤的走狗了？” 杨子江笑道：“我好好的一个人，为什么要做走狗？” 朱泪儿道：“那么你究竟是什么意思？” 杨子江道：“我就是我，既不是任何人的朋友，也不是任何人的走狗，我行我素，我高兴做什么就做什么。” 朱泪儿道：“什么事对你有好处，你就做什么，是不是？” 杨子江抚掌道：“一点也不错，姑娘之言，实是深得我心。” 朱泪儿已被气得说不出话来了，就在这时，突听一阵车轮滚动之声，远远传了过来。 杨子江笑道：“我虽没有朋友，客人却不少。” 他嘴里说着话，忽然蹿了出去，身形一转，已将院子里的三具尸身踢出院外，这句话没说完，他的人又已坐回原来的椅子上了，好像根本没有动过。 朱泪儿冷笑道：“这难道又是来送礼的吗？”她又接道：“只可惜你也是奶妈抱孩子，到头来还是人家的。” 她一直站在门口，这时已看到一人推着辆独轮车，人自崎岖的山道走了过来，车上果然绑着两只箱子，推车的人已只剩下一条独臂，但却将这辆独轮车推得四平八稳，而且走得很快。
