Chapter 39 Chapter Thirty-ninth: Hypocrisy

Jiang Biehe smiled and said: "What I want Mr. Xuanyuan to do, haven't you already done it just now? Since Mr. Xuanyuan's bet has been paid off, why do you still say such things?" Xuanyuan Sanguang was stunned again, and said in a low voice, "You...what did you say?" Jiang Biehe laughed and said: "The loser, since he will let the winner handle it, I will punish Mr. Xuanyuan with a glass of wine. Now that Mr. Xuanyuan has drunk the wine, it is money and goods, and there is no credit." Xuanyuan Sanguang stood on the ground and murmured: "If you can kill me, no one in the world will admire you. If you want me to do something, no matter rare treasures, famous horses, spirit dogs, I can do it for you." Come, but... but..."

He sighed and said with a wry smile, "But you just want me to drink a glass of wine." Jiang Biehe laughed and said, "If it wasn't for the small amount, I would have to offer a few more toasts." Xuanyuan Sanguang suddenly raised the wine gourd, drank more than ten sips in one breath, wiped his lips with his hand, looked up to the sky and laughed, and said, "Okay! You really deserve to be a 'Jiangnan Hero'! I, Xuanyuan Sanguang, have never convinced anyone in my life. Today, I really convinced you, Jiang Biehe!" He strode over, patted Xiao Yu'er on the shoulder, and said: "Little brother, I can't take care of your affairs anymore, but with the 'Jiangnan Hero' here, you don't have to be afraid of those rats bullying you anymore, and I will Let's go... goodbye!"

Speaking of the word "goodbye", the person has already gone out of the window and disappeared into the night in an instant.There is a cool breeze outside the window, and a crescent moon is in the middle of the sky. Jiang Biehe watched him go, and murmured, "This man is indeed a hero!" "Jade Face God's Judgment." Xiao Zichun smiled apologetically, "This person is called the 'Ten Evil Men'. Wouldn't it be a pity that Brother Jiang didn't take the opportunity to get rid of him?" Although he referred to him as a brother, his expression was more respectful than a disciple treats a teacher.

Jiang Biehe said sternly: "How many such heroes are there in the world? Brother Xiao, how could he say the word 'remove' lightly, besides, this person has no other evil deeds other than gambling." Xiao Zichun lowered his head and smiled, "Yes, my brother is wrong." Jiang Biehe laughed and said: "What's more, as long as he loses a bet, he will never deny it. Even if he loses his head, he won't frown. How many people in the world can there be such a gambler?" Xiao Yu'er suddenly sighed, and said: "It's a pity that Xuanyuan Sanguang didn't hear what you said, otherwise he would be so grateful that he would burst into tears."

Jiang Biehe glanced at him up and down, and said with a smile: "Could this little brother also be a dog friend?" Xiao Yu'er said: "I really don't dare to take the word 'friend'." With a flash of his eyes, Jiang Biehe had already seen the "love lock" on their hands, and said with a slight smile, "I'm confident that I can untie this mere heresy thing, brother, just follow me back..." Xiao Yu'er smiled and said: "I really want to go back with you, but there are still people waiting to kill me, what should I do?" Jiang Biehe frowned and said, "Who?"

Xiao Yu'er said: "Naturally, they are all famous heroes. Seven or eight famous heroes are waiting to kill me alone. Isn't that an honor." Jiang Biehe turned his gaze, and everyone in the room lowered their heads, Xiao Zichun, Li Di and the others blushed even more, Jiang Biehe said slowly: "I can guarantee that this kind of thing will never happen in the future. " I suddenly heard someone singing in the darkness outside the window.The singing came along with the wind, and what they sang was: "Heroes in the south of the Yangtze River are very skilled, honey comes to wrap the poison, eats it as sweet as honey, swallows it like fire, bad! bad! bad! There are all heroes in the world Got it..."

Jiang Biehe's expression didn't change, he smiled slightly and said: "Those who get a name will be slandered. Since I got a name unfortunately, I deserve some scolding. If you go after this villain, wouldn't it be against him? proud?" Xiao Yu'er looked at him with a smile, and said: "I, Xiao Yu'er, seldom convince others, but today I am a little bit convinced by you..." No one would believe that the "Jiangnan Hero" lived in such a house if he hadn't seen it himself.It was just three or five dilapidated rooms. Although they were clean and spotless, the furnishings were extremely simple, and there were no concubines and servants, only a deaf and dumb old man hobbled to do some chores for him.

Xiao Yuer followed him for two days before arriving here. In the past two days, Xiao Yu'er feels that this "Jiangnan Hero" is really very human, a person with such a great reputation in the martial arts world can be so polite to others, probably no one else can do it except Jiang Biehe.Walking with him is like bathing in the spring breeze. No matter who it is, they will feel very comfortable and happy. After entering this room, Xiao Yu'er was even more surprised. Jiang Biehe smiled and said: "This manor house used to be owned by my good friend Zhuge Yun. He moved his family to East Shandong and gave the manor house to me. It's a pity that I couldn't maintain its old style. I am ashamed of my old friend.”

Xiao Yu'er sighed: "The world-renowned 'Jiangnan Hero' lived such a simple life. For thousands of years, there may not be another one in the martial arts world." Jiang Biehe said solemnly: "The ancients said: It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. I have never forgotten this sentence." Xiao Yu'er sighed: "You are really a gentleman." When I was young, the dishes and rice were served, but there were only three or four kinds of very light vegetables, and the serving of vegetables and rice to set the table was all done by the leader of Jiangnan Wulin himself.This kind of life is really not commensurate with his dazzling reputation.

Xiao Yu'er murmured: "No wonder everyone in the world respects you so much. If a person can endure what others can't, naturally it should be a big deal." Jiang Biehe's shining eyes turned to him, and suddenly said: "I looked around, and the more I looked, the more I felt that you looked like my old dear brother." Xiao Yu'er said: "Oh, who is that?" Jiang Biehe sighed: "If he is not a typical example of gentleness and elegance among people in the Jianghu in the past, he is also the most famous handsome man in the Jianghu for thousands of years. I named him 'Yulang' just to commemorate him. .”

Xiao Yuer smiled and said, "Do you think I look like a handsome man? If I can also be called 'gentle and elegant', then there is no man in the world who is not gentle and elegant." Jiang Biehe smiled and said: "You may not be very gentle and elegant, but you do have his indescribable charm. Especially when you smile, I don't believe that there is any girl in the world who can resist the way you look at her when you smile. Eye." Xiao Yu'er laughed loudly and said, "I wish I could be as good as you said, and I wish I could be the son of the man you said. It's a pity that my father is also like me. Even though he is a smart man, he is by no means nothing. A handsome man, and he is living well now, maybe smoking a pipe in his easy chair." He laughed and stood up and walked out.Jiang Yulang had no choice but to follow him. Xiao Yu'er smiled again: "I really want to chat with you more, but I can't help but go to sleep... I hope you can find some useful locksmiths tomorrow, who can lock this damn love 'Open." Jiang Biehe sighed: "I have found almost all the famous skillful locksmiths in central Hubei along the way. I really didn't expect the spring of this 'Love Lock' to be so ingeniously made." He smiled and said: "But you just need to rest assured, in just these two days I will definitely find a sword that cuts iron like clay... When you come to me, you don't have to worry about anything anymore." Xiao Yu'er smiled and said, "So now as soon as I touch the pillow, I will immediately fall asleep like a dead person." Jiang Yulang seemed to have suddenly turned into the most obedient and honest child in the world, and he followed him out obediently. Jiang Biehe watched their backs disappear tenderly, and slowly groped through his sleeves until he found a dagger that was no more than one foot long. The scabbard of the dagger was black, it looked inconspicuous, but when Jiang Biehe pulled out the sword, there was a flash of lightning in the room.The cold sword energy immediately made the candlelight lose its luster. The deaf and dumb old man stood far away at the door, and couldn't help shivering at this moment, his eyes widened, as if to say: "The sword in your hand is clearly a sword that cuts iron like mud, but And why don't you cut off that damn 'love chain' for them?" Jiang Biehe raised his head, saw his suspicious eyes, seemed to have seen through his intentions, smiled slightly, and said slowly: "Of course I can't cut off that 'emotional lock' right now, that child is full of belly." What a ghost, no one can guess what he is going to do, I have to ask Yulang to watch him all the time...with that 'love lock', even if he wants to run away, he won't be able to." It's a pity that the person he was talking to was just an old man who was deaf and dumb. No matter what he said, the old man couldn't hear him. In the corridor, there is a small lantern.The dim light illuminated the desolate garden, a black cat crouched in the darkness, only its eyes were shining green. Xiao Yu'er and Jiang Yulang walked on this curved corridor, the floor under their feet creaked, and the wind was blowing leaves in the distance, Xiao Yu'er shrank his neck and said with a wry smile: "If anyone lives in this kind of place Ten years, it will be strange not to become a lunatic." Jiang Yulang said: "Don't worry, you don't need to live for ten years." Xiao Yu'er smiled and said: "You finally spoke... just now in front of your father, I thought you became dumb." Jiang Yulang said: "There are not many people in the world who dare to speak like you in front of my father." Xiao Yu'er looked at the dark back garden, smiled and said, "Have you ever been to this back garden?" Jiang Yulang said, "I've been there once." Xiao Yu'er said: "You have lived here for a long time, only visited once?" Jiang Yulang said: "He who has been there once, if you beat him with a whip, he won't go there a second time." Xiao Yu'er smiled and said, "Is there a ghost in there?" Jiang Yulang said, "No ghost would dare to go to that kind of place." He opened a door, hung a lamp, and in the small room, there were some swords, a lot of books, and of course, a bed. Xiao Yuer rolled his eyes and said, "Is this your bedroom?" Jiang Yulang sighed deeply, and said, "I haven't been back for more than a year, seeing this bed now, I don't think it's very intimate." Xiao Yu'er smiled and said: "After seeing those precious friends of yours, I wouldn't believe that you would sleep on this bed honestly before. Could you really hold back?" Jiang Yulang suddenly smiled and said, "Won't I sneak out in the middle of the night?" Xiao Yu'er said: "Of course I know that the children of rich families have the habit of sneaking out in the middle of the night, but your father is different from others, how can you escape his eyes and ears?" Jiang Yulang blinked and said, "Do you know why I live in this house?" Xiao Yuer said: "I don't know." Jiang Yulang said: "Because this room is the farthest from my father's bedroom, and has the most windows... This is supposed to be where the servants live, but I rushed to sleep." Xiao Yu'er smiled and said, "As far as I know, this is probably the smartest choice you have made!" After returning to his bedroom, Jiang Yulang finally let go of his heart and fell asleep on the bed. Not long after, he really fell asleep, and slept deeply.He didn't need to be wary of Xiao Yu'er any more, he was really tired too.Xiao Yu'er also seemed to be in a deep sleep. I don't know how long it took, there was a sound of light footsteps coming over, walked outside the door, paused, and knocked lightly on the door.There was no answer from the door, the man pushed the door open, took a look, and then the footsteps went back, as if he had entered the desolate and terrifying back garden. This is a place where even ghosts dare not go, what is he doing in the middle of the night? Xiao Yu'er suddenly opened his eyes, found a very thin copper wire from his hair, and stabbed the copper wire into a small hole on the "love lock".He put his ears on the "Love Lock" and gently moved the copper wire - he squinted his eyes and concentrated on it, as if he was listening to some moving music. Suddenly, with a slight "click", he used a thin copper wire to break the "love lock" that all the craftsmen in Hubei could not break. He couldn't help showing a smug smile on his face, waving his long-lost hand, and casually touched Jiang Yulang's "sleeping point". Jiang Yulang couldn't wake up from his sleep. Xiao Yu'er looked at him and smiled triumphantly: "You think you are smart, but you are actually an idiot, and you always think that I really can't get rid of this damn 'love lock', don't even think about it, where did I grow up?" big." Since there are the most outstanding robbers in the "Valley of the Wicked", there are naturally the most outstanding thieves. Under the hands of the most outstanding thieves, is there any lock in the world that cannot be opened? But why did he always prefer to be locked with Jiang Yulang?Would rather suffer all kinds of anger?What exactly is he thinking in his mind?Could it be that he had already guessed that Jiang Yulang's father must be a mysterious figure?Could it be that he already guessed that there must be some amazing secrets in this place? He wants to be locked up with Jiang Yulang, could it be that he just wants to come here!And it can also make others stop guarding against him because of this?No one thought that he could never get rid of Jiang Yulang. With Jiang Yulang following him all the time, every step of the way, others would feel at ease. But at this time, Xiao Yu'er has already swept out of the window.He actually flitted towards the back garden where even ghosts dare not go.At this time, the footsteps had been entering the garden for a long time. When Xiao Yu'er entered the moon-shaped door, he saw lights flickering in the distance, and then, it was dark, and the lights seemed to go out. In the darkness, the trees danced in the wind, as if there were many unknown monsters waiting to choose someone to devour.Although there are dim starlight in the sky, the starlight adds to the mystery and horror of this garden.The wind was very cold, but Xiao Yu'er's palms were wet and he was already sweating coldly. If it was someone else, they would have retreated by now.But Xiao Yuer is not "others", Xiao Yuer is Xiao Yuer, a unique little Yuer in the world, if he wants to move forward, nothing in the world can make him retreat. He had already identified the place where the lights were flickering just now, and he flew straight there.But in the garden there are only withered trees, crumbling hills and small pavilions, and the little light just now has gone nowhere. As he was walking, Xiao Yuer suddenly lost his way.A gust of wind blew by, and he couldn't help shivering cleverly. He suddenly realized that he didn't know where to go?What to look for? At this moment, a black figure jumped out from the darkness!Xiao Yu'er's soul was almost terrified, and the black shadow jumped over, it was a black cat!But how did this black cat enter this backyard?How could it suddenly pop out? Xiao Yu'er changed his mind, never guessing again, and immediately fell to the ground, in front of him was a pile of gravel and rubble, and a piece of withered chrysanthemum. As soon as he lay down, a window was suddenly lit up more than ten feet away.Then, a figure walked out slowly.This person held a lamp in his hand, and the light shone on his face, it was Jiang Biehe! Hearing a sound of "meow", the black cat jumped towards him and jumped into his arms. He knocked the door behind his back and walked back with the black cat in his arms. Xiao Yu'er fell on the ground, not even daring to breathe.The lights have just gone away, and the garden seems to be darker and colder.Xiao Yu'er waited for a long time, then quietly crawled out, walked over quietly, and walked to the front, only to see that there was a small flower house there. The door is locked. So Xiao Yu'er had another chance to use his ability to pick locks. He gently opened the door, and lit the torch he had just stolen from the table.The flower room was covered with cobwebs, and there were some tattered flowerpots and dead leaves piled up in the corners, and nothing else—what was Jiang Biehe doing in this empty house in the middle of the night? The wind blew the window, creaking, and the wind blew in through the broken window paper, like a cold ghost claw, touching the back of a little fish.Xiao Yu'er really wanted to run away, back to the bed, and covered his head with a quilt, even ghosts would not want to come to this kind of place. But where even ghosts don’t come, wouldn’t it be best to keep secrets! He turned his eyes around and looked around for a while, but he couldn't see anything suspicious in the room. There was dust everywhere in the house, it looked like no one had been there in ages!But Jiang Biehe had clearly been here just now, how could there not be his footprints on the dust?Little Yu'er's heart moved, and he leaned over to touch it, and found that the dust was actually stuck to the ground, unless you rub it hard, there would be no trace left. Xiao Yu'er almost jumped up, he knew that there must be a tunnel in this house, but he searched every corner, but still couldn't find any mechanism news. Almost desperate, he looked up and let out a long sigh.The cobwebs are fluttering in the wind, some of the cobwebs have been broken by the wind, and the spiders are busy reconnecting.But there is a spider web, let the wind blow.But he didn't move. No one would pay attention to this kind of thing, but there is nothing in the world that can escape Xiao Yu'er's eyes, so he jumped over immediately! Just listening to the sound of "click", and then a series of "click" sounds, a pile of dry wood under the spider web suddenly moved slowly, revealing a hole!Xiao Yu'er has also seen many cleverly designed secret organs, but he has never seen any more ingenious and secret than this one. Except that there is no window, this most standard study room is exactly the same as the place where most scholars study in the world. On the left and right walls of the study are bookcases and shelves full of books, and in the middle is an elegant marble desk on which the four treasures of the study are neatly arranged. In addition, of course there was a copper lamp, Xiao Yuer lit it, and then, sitting on that comfortable big chair, he began to think quietly: "If I were Jiang Biehe, I would tell the secret Where is it hidden?" In any study, there are many places to store secrets, but if the secrets are some papers, where is the best place to hide them? It is best to hide it in a book, of course!But there are thousands and hundreds of books here, which book will he hide in? Naturally, it should be hidden in a book that others will least read-although no one will come here to look through his books, but he will be used to doing so. Xiao Yu'er stood up and looked carefully at the bookshelf.He looked at them one by one. There were stone carvings of "Historical Records" and "Han Shu" on the bookshelves, and there were also some hand-copied rare books and miscellaneous notes. Dust had already accumulated on each book. Naturally, Jiang Biehe didn't come here to read books. These books have accumulated dust, but here... right here, there is a book that is very clean. This book is not too thin, Xiao Yuer took it out, and on the cover was written: "Materia Medica". Xiao Yu'er smiled, he knew this must be the book he was looking for. When he opened it, he found that a piece had been dug out in the middle of the book, but the sides were glued together, like a box. In the place where the book was dug up, there were several exquisite human skin masks and three or two small bottles, which were obviously tools for disguise. But Xiao Yu'er was not interested in these things at all, so he searched again and found the same "book box", which also contained a few small wooden bottles.The bottle contained a very precious poison! Xiao Yu'er sighed, and searched again, and found another stack of banknotes with a shockingly large amount. And there's a long list.He didn't bother to look at those names, he only saw that there was a bracket under each name, some said "Shaolin", some said "Wudang", each of them was written from a famous school, perhaps, these Although they were all amazing secrets, they were not what Xiao Yuer was looking for, and he sat down on the chair in disappointment. Suddenly, he saw some low tables beside the desk, and the short tables were full of papers, all kinds of papers. His eyes seemed to light up, and he grabbed a stack of papers. The paper is very light and thin, but it has toughness. This kind of paper was very special at that time, and Xiao Yuer only saw it once.But he knows the smell of this paper!Just because he swallowed the same piece of paper once. This stack of paper is exactly the same as the "Yannantian Treasure Map" that he got from Tie Xinlan, and he will never forget it. He carefully scraped a handful of dust, and gently wiped it on the top sheet of paper, and patterns appeared on the paper, which was exactly the pattern of the treasure map. You must know that the treasure map is drawn with charcoal strips in order to require realism. If the map is drawn on the upper piece of paper, it will inevitably leave traces on the lower paper. At this moment, Xiao Yuer wiped it with dust, and these traces appeared naturally, and after Jiang Biehe drew the last picture, it happened that he didn't touch the stack of paper again. Xiao Yu'er heaved a long sigh, and murmured: "The one who forged the treasure map is indeed him! The one who will make the heroes of the world kill each other is indeed him!" He sneered and said: "What a benevolent and righteous 'Jiangnan hero'! I knew you had ulterior ambitions, otherwise how could you be so pretentious and contrived?...You not only want to hide all the heroes in the world In the dark, you actually want to use tricks to get rid of all those who are not easy to conquer, so that you can dominate the world!" He carefully put everything back in place, and murmured: "If you don't mess with me, I wouldn't bother to take care of your affairs, but whoever told you to make me fall into a big trap, if I don't teach you a lesson If I teach you a lesson, I can't help myself." He blew out the lights and backed out!Return the organs to their original state. Just because he knew that even if Jiang Biehe's conspiracy were to be exposed at this moment, others would not believe it. Jiang Biehe really pretended too well.So he had to wait, anyway, Jiang Biehe couldn't escape! Jiang Yulang was still in a deep sleep, not even changing his posture, his head was buried in the pillow, and the opened "love lock" was still hanging on his hands. Xiao Yu'er went to bed calmly, put his gloves into the "love lock" and locked the "grid", at this moment he didn't think about anything anymore. He wants to sleep comfortably and get enough energy to deal with tomorrow's affairs.But before he closed his eyes, a fire suddenly lit up in the room. Xiao Yu'er was startled, opened his eyes, and saw a smiling person standing by the bed.The flickering firelight shone on his pale face and his secretive smile... This person is unexpectedly Jiang Yulang!But didn't Jiang Yulang obviously sleep next to him?How could he stand at the head of the bed?Xiao Yu'er jumped up, and then looked at the person beside him. The person next to him also looked up and smiled at him, but it was the deaf and dumb disabled old man... Xiao Yu'er was stunned for a while, then suddenly laughed and said: "I know Jiang Biehe is a powerful person, why am I still an underestimator?" him?" Jiang Yulang said coldly: "Is this funny too? From my point of view, you should have cried bitterly." I saw Jiang Biehe walking in slowly, looking at him with a smile, and said softly: "You should have escaped quickly after you discovered such an important secret, but you still came back calmly, you really have Amazing guts." Xiao Yu'er said: "You clearly know that I have discovered your secret, yet you still calmly wait for me to come back and lock yourself up again... Sigh, you are really amazing." Jiang Biehe said: "At such a young age, you were able to deceive me and find out my secret. This is really something I never thought of. It is really admirable." Xiao Yu'er said: "You can make everyone in the world believe that you are a benevolent hero, you can make everyone respect you so much, you really deserve to be called a generation of heroes." The two talked to each other, and they actually praised each other. If there were people who had nothing to do with them listening, no one would guess what was going on in their hearts. Jiang Biehe sighed: "I really cherish your intelligence, but why did you come to oppose me? Since you know those secrets, even if I cherish you, I have no choice but to bear the pain and give up." Xiao Yu'er sighed: "I really cherish your intelligence, and I'd like to see you succeed, but why did you make those bloody treasure maps? It made me fall for it." Jiang Biehe's face suddenly changed slightly, and he lost his voice: "How do you know that the treasure map is related to me?" Xiao Yu'er said: "If it wasn't for the treasure map, how would I have come here? How could I have worked so hard to discover your secret? As long as you don't mess with me, your secret is none of my business? " Jiang Biehe glanced at Jiang Yulang and said, "When did you know?" Xiao Yu'er smiled and said: "I saw that you 'dog' had a treasure map on him, so I asked him where he got it, and he said he stole it from your study. At that time, I thought, it's so important How could you put it in your study casually? At that time, I was already a little suspicious." Jiang Biehe said: "You are very suspicious." Xiao Yu'er said: "I heard people say that the father of this 'gouzi' is a generation of heroes, I thought again, as the saying goes: dragons beget dragons, phoenix beget winds, how could a generation of heroes raise such despicable and shameless son." Jiang Biehe smiled and said, "You scolded very well, too." Xiao Yu'er said: "Then I saw you living in this kind of place, moving tables and serving dishes by yourself, with only a deaf and dumb old man beside you, I thought again, if this person is not a sage, he must be The most villainous people I have ever seen, because there are only two kinds of people in the world who can do such things." Jiang Biehe smiled and said, "Of course I don't look like a sage." Xiao Yu'er said: "So I'm going to find out your secret wholeheartedly." Jiang Biehe sighed: "You are so smart, this is really your misfortune..." Xiao Yu'er said: "If I get older, I'm afraid I can learn to play dumb." Jiang Biehe said: "It's a pity that you will never learn it. Do you know that you are not the only one who wants to harm me tonight?" Xiao Yu'er said: "Who else wants to harm you?" Jiang Biehe said: "Someone went to my bedroom last night. He first blew in the mist and then pried open the window. He obviously wanted to kill me. It's a pity that I didn't sleep here last night." Xiao Yu'er said: "That's right, you slept with me in the inn at Xintankou last night...but how do you know that someone has entered your room?" Jiang Biehe smiled and said: "When I came back today, there was still a residual scent of the fragrance in the room, and there was still a shallow footprint on the window sill. The person who wanted to kill me last night was not a veteran." Xiao Yu'er sighed: "If he was a veteran, he wouldn't be here tonight." Jiang Bie He clapped his hands and said, "That's right, but because he is not a veteran, he will come again tonight." Xiao Yu'er smiled wryly and said: "So you want me to sleep in your room and be killed instead of you. Not only can you kill me with this, but you can also use this to catch that person. Then, when you kill him, It can also be said that it is revenge for me, if other people know about it, they will have to praise your benevolence." Jiang Biehe laughed loudly and said, "It's really interesting to talk to a smart kid like you... I don't even need to say it, you already know what I mean."
