Chapter 7 Seventh trip to Tiger Mountain

April 11, sunny. April in the Central Plains is just like March in the south of the Yangtze River, when the warblers fly and the grass grows. It is the time when the spring is the brightest and the spring color is the strongest, but it is a pity that spring has already passed at this time. When the sunset is the most beautiful, it is always near dusk. There are many things like this in the world, especially some particularly brilliant and beautiful things. So you don't have to be sad, and you don't have to regret it. Even if you go to the rivers and lakes to catch up with the spring, you don't have to keep it.

Because this is life, some things you can't keep. You must learn to endure its ruthlessness before you can enjoy its tenderness. The car windows were open, and the spring breeze blew in through the curtains, bringing the fragrance of the distant mountains into the car. Tang Yu leaned in the carriage, and the spring breeze just hit his face. He was in a good mood, radiant, and really looked more womanly than most. The wind blew down the curtains, and one could just see Zhao Wuji riding a horse and following beside the car. They were already on their way, and if he was happy, Zhao Wuji would be dead by now.

In the past four or five days, he has had at least ten chances to strike, and even now is a very good chance. Looking from the car window, Zhao Wuji is simply a live target. From the back of the head, to the back of the waist, from the large blood vessels at the back of the neck to the joints under the spine, every place is within the power of his hidden weapon. He can hit wherever he wants to hit. He didn't make a move, just because he wasn't quite sure yet. Zhao Wuji is not only high in martial arts, quick in response, but also not stupid. To deal with this kind of person, he must not be negligent, let alone make a mistake.

Because, this kind of person will never give you a second chance. So you must wait until you are absolutely sure that you can hit with one blow before you make a move. Tang Yu was in no hurry. He believed that this kind of opportunity would appear at any time, and he also believed that he would never miss it. He did not underestimate Zhao Wuji. After passing through the lion forest and Hua Yuexuan, of course he could see what kind of character Zhao Wuji was. Of course he will not underestimate himself. This time his plan went so smoothly, it seemed that it was because of his good luck that there was such a coincidence that Zhao Wuji would throw himself into the trap.

But he doesn't think he's done it by luck. He believes that "good luck" means nothing more than "being able to seize opportunities". A person who can grasp the opportunity must be a person with good luck. He really didn't miss a chance. Hua Yuexuan's operation had already failed, and it failed miserably. But he immediately seized the opportunity and betrayed Hu Laizi, so he had the opportunity to make friends with Zhao Wuji, so that Zhao Wuji trusted him and was willing to make friends with him. For him, betraying a person is simply easier than eating a piece of tofu. Whether he can grasp that opportunity is the most important thing.

As long as he could seize that opportunity, he would even betray his father. Because that really is the difference between success and failure. He believed that no one would suspect that he was with Hu Liezi that day, and no one would think that he was Tang Yu. If anyone insists on thinking it's luck, it's luck of his own making. He is very happy with himself. The horse Wuji rode was, of course, a good one out of a thousand. The meaning of choosing one out of a thousand means that you can only choose such a horse from a thousand horses. The stables in Dafengtang are the same as brothels in most cities, divided into three classes: "upper, middle, and lower".

Women in high-end brothels are definitely not something ordinary people can "ride". The same goes for the horses in the fine stables. If the disciples of Dafengtang didn't have extremely important and dangerous missions, they would never have been able to ride the horses in the "upper stable". Mowgli is no ordinary person. Wuji is the only son of Zhao Jian and Zhao Erye, the founder and pillar of Dafengtang. If there was no Second Master Zhao, the Dafengtang might have collapsed long ago, and if there was no Second Master Zhao, there might not be a Dafengtang at all.

Wuji may not know how to choose friends, but he has always studied horses and has a good eye. He is even more selective in choosing a horse than a shrewd client in choosing a whore. He had chosen this horse from one in a thousand horses out of thirty-two. Tang Yu could also tell that this was a good horse, but he was not interested in this horse. He seemed interested in the horse's leather saddle. It is made of high-quality calfskin, and the handwork is also exquisite and exquisite. The stitches are so dense that if you don't look carefully, it is difficult to see that there are needle holes on it.

But no matter what kind of saddle it is, it must be hemmed with leather thread, and then waxed on the stitches, smoothed and polished so that no one can see the stitches and needle holes on it. Tang Yu looked at Zhao Wuji riding on the saddle, and suddenly thought of a very interesting thing. —if the cobbler who made this saddle ever accidentally broke a needle while hemming it. ——If he was careless and didn't take the broken needle point out of the stitch, he started to wax and polish, and drove the half of the needle point into the eye of the needle, so he couldn't see it. ——If the half of the needle point suddenly emerges from the stitch one day.

—if someone happens to be sitting in this saddle at this moment. ——If it happens to be late spring at this time, the clothes and pants will not be too thick. ——Then when the tip of this half of the needle came out, it would pierce his pants and pierce his flesh. ——Being pricked by the tip of a needle is not a serious matter. He may not even feel the pain, and even if he feels a little pain, he will never care. ——However, if the tip of this half of the needle happens to be poisonous, and it happens to be the unique poison of the Tang family, then the person riding on the saddle will feel itchy where the needle pricked after walking for a while. Can't help but grab it.

——If he grabs it, then after walking two or three hundred steps, the unlucky man will fall off his horse inexplicably and die on the road for no apparent reason. ——If, this unlucky person is Zhao Wuji... Tang Yu smiled. These "ifs" are not impossible. Even if the cobbler's needle is not broken, Tang Yu can break one for him. It is by no means too difficult. Tang Yu couldn't help laughing, because he thought the idea was really interesting. Wuji suddenly turned around, looked at him, and said, "What are you laughing at?" Tang Yu said: "I remembered a joke." Wuji said, "What joke?" Tang Yu said: "A fool's joke." Wuji said: "Can you tell me?" Tang Yu said: "No!" Wuji said, "Why?" Tang Yudao: "Because this joke is so funny, when I told it to a person last time, that person laughed so hard that a big hole broke in his stomach, a big, big hole." Wuji also laughed: "Is there really someone who would burst their stomachs laughing?" Tang Yudao: "Only people like him can do it." Wuji asked, "What kind of person is he?" Tang Yu said: "He is also an idiot." He added: "Only idiots like to hear idiot's jokes, and only idiots like to tell idiot's jokes." Tang Yu was still laughing, but Wuji couldn't laugh. A nerd, listening to another nerd tell "a nerd's joke". This incident was meant to be a joke. But when you think about it, the joke isn't so funny.Because this joke is not only full of irony, but also full of sadness. A common human tragedy. A helpless sadness. If you think about it carefully, not only can you not laugh, you may not even be able to cry. Wuji said: "This is not a joke." Tang Yu said: "It wasn't originally." Wuji said, "I still want to hear that joke of yours." Tang Yu said: "Okay, I will say." He thought for a while before speaking. "Once upon a time there was an idiot who brought a beautifully dressed young girl to the street. Suddenly, the big girl fell and fell on all fours." Wuji said, "What about the next one?" Tang Yu said: "There is nothing below." Wuji said, "Is this your joke?" Tang Yu said: "Yes." Wuji said: "This joke is not funny." Tang Yudao: "If you really saw a well-dressed girl walking coyly on the street with an idiot, and the idiot didn't fall, but the older girl fell, wouldn't you think it was funny?" Wuji said: "If I really saw it, I would also find it funny." Tang Yudao: "My jokes are always like this. Although it sounds nothing funny, if someone really makes this joke, it will be very funny." He had already started to laugh, and laughed happily: "At that time, there might be a hole in your stomach, maybe it's just a small hole." Wuji said, "Whether it's a big hole or a small hole, it's always a hole." Tang Yu said: "It's absolutely correct." night. On the road this afternoon, the conversation with Zhao Wuji about "a joke" still makes Tang Yu very happy. After a cat catches a mouse, it will not swallow it immediately. Tang Yu resembles a cat in many ways, and Zhao Wuji has fallen into his grasp like a mouse, so he might as well make fun of the mouse before swallowing it. This is his greatest pleasure. This is a very good inn. The doors and windows of each room are tightly sealed, and there are absolutely no holes in the window paper. Zhao Wuji in the next room had not made a sound for a long time, as if he had fallen asleep. Tang Yu sat down, pulled out a gold hairpin from her head, and took out an embroidered purse from her small pocket. Now he is still wearing a red dress and pretending to be a woman. These two things are what every big girl will always wear, and no one can see anything suspicious. But every night, in the dead of night, he would take out these two things and check them carefully, even more carefully than a miser when he settles accounts. Every time he has to close the doors and windows, wash his hands with warm water, and then dry his hands with a clean white cloth. Then he would sit under the lamp, pull out the gold hairpin, pinch the head of the hairpin with two long and nimble fingers, and turn it slightly.It turned out that the gold hairpin was hollow, and it was filled with fine sand like gold powder. It was the Tang family's famous Shattering Soul Sand, which was as small as powder but very heavy. The smaller the hidden weapon is, the harder it is to dodge, and the heavier it is, the farther it can hit. What he used was undoubtedly the best of the hidden weapons of the Tang Sect. The head of the hairpin is also empty, and inside is a colorless and transparent oily wax that dries when exposed to the wind. He only needs to crush the hairpin head, and the oily wax will flow to his hands to protect his hands. He never liked to put hidden weapons in the leather pouch like a living sign like his brothers, and hang them on his body flauntingly, as if he was afraid that others would not know that they were children of the Tang family. He also doesn't like to use those thick and stupid deerskin gloves. He thinks that wearing gloves to conceal a weapon is like wearing gloves to touch a woman. Not only is it not sensitive, but it is extremely boring.He would never do such a thing. There is a ball of thread and a bag of needles in the purse, two "auspicious and wishful" gold lockets and a transparent and shiny stone. The thread is made of Siamese black gold. It is extremely thin and tough. It can not only strangle a person's neck at any time, but also can hang a person. If he is trapped on a cliff, he can use this If the thread is hung down, the thread will never break.The transparent stone is a precious gem called "diamond". It is said that it is more precious than the purest Hanyu, and even the least greedy people can buy it. Money can make ghosts turn the millstone, and when necessary, maybe only this stone can save his life. It's a pity that there are not many people negotiating the price. Not everyone can see how expensive this kind of thing is. So he decided to take two golden scorpions with him for emergency. He thought of everything, every situation, every detail. The purse was made of satin, with a peony flower embroidered on the front and back with shiny gold thread and sequins. The flower heart is actually active and can be picked off at any time. A mysterious and proud smile suddenly appeared on Tang Yu's face. The flower hearts of these two peonies are his most secret and proud hidden weapon. Not only has no one in the Jianghu seen the power of this hidden weapon with their own eyes, they have never even imagined it in their dreams. Even if Zhao Wuji can expose his identity, with these two hidden weapons, he can still make Zhao Wuji die without a place to bury him. However, he would never use these two hidden weapons unless absolutely necessary. Because until now, they have not fully grasped the secret of making this hidden weapon. The amount of capital they invested in this kind of hidden weapon was already astonishing, and they even sacrificed the lives of seven or eight experts. Even the first master of the Tang family who was in charge of making hidden weapons almost died tragically because of this. But until he left Tangjiabao, a total of thirty-eight such hidden weapons had been manufactured, and after inspection, less than twenty of them were guaranteed to be usable. According to their own calculations, the value of each piece is definitely more than a thousand gold. Fortunately, they have gradually grasped the performance of this hidden weapon and can control it, and the manufacturing technology is gradually improving. When they are able to manufacture such hidden weapons in large quantities, the Gale Hall will be completely destroyed. He is absolutely confident of that. Now Tang Yu has checked everything, everything is still intact and good. When he was satisfied, he applied the melted wax from the candlestick to the tips of the thumb, forefinger, and middle finger of his right hand, and with these three fingers drew a needle from the bag of embroidery needles. The needle looked no different from an ordinary embroidery needle, but even he dared not touch it. He must first seal the pores of the skin with wax, otherwise even if the skin is not broken, the poisonous gas will seep through the pores, and the three fingers must be chopped off. Since the cobbler who made the saddle didn't leave a needle in the stitches, Tang Yu was determined to help him. Although this plan is not very ingenious, and it may not be absolutely sure of success, but this plan has one advantage - even if it fails this time, Zhao Wuji will never doubt him. Because everybody can sneak into that stable in the middle of the night and stick a poisoned needle in the eye of the saddle and seal the eye with wax. Every enemy of Zhao Wuji can do these things.He has many enemies, how could he doubt his friend?What's more, this "friend" also helped him by catching an enemy who was about to escape for him. Tang Yu even made the worst plan. Even if Zhao Wuji doubted him, he still has good reasons to refute! "We are together every day. If I want to harm you, I can find opportunities anytime and anywhere. Why should I use this method? This method is not very good." This reason is good enough for anyone, Tang Yu is really thoughtful. Every thing, every situation, every detail, he had thought about carefully, there was only one thing that he didn't think of. He didn't expect that there was another sheep that must come and be fed into his tiger's mouth. With a careful plan, it is not difficult to do it. You travel all over the world, and all the stables in the inn will never be a well-guarded place. Zhao Wuji's saddle, like other people's saddles, was casually placed in a corner. For a person like Tang Yu, doing this kind of thing is easier than eating cabbage. It was late at night. "Go to bed before it's too late, and watch the sky early when the cock crows." Of course, the travelers on the road have already fallen asleep. When Tang Yu came back from the stables, he still had time to enjoy the late spring night in April. The moon was almost full, the sky was full of stars, and the night was so beautiful that he seemed to have a bit of poetry in his heart. A kind of poetry that is completely incompatible with his murderous plan. But when he walked back to the yard outside his guest room, this bit of poetry turned into murderous intent again! There are lights in the room. When he came out, he had obviously blown out the candles, and he would never neglect such a thing. Who lit the lamp in his room? Who would go to his room in the middle of the night? If this man is his enemy, why light the lamp and put him on his guard? Could this man be his friend? He has only one "friend" here, and only this friend knows where he is. In the middle of the night, why did Zhao Wuji go to his room?Are you already a little suspicious of him? His footsteps did not stop, and he deliberately let the people in the room hear his footsteps. So he also immediately heard someone in the room say: "It's midnight, where did you go?" This is not Zhao Wuji's voice. Tang Yu immediately recognized whose voice it was, but he never expected that this person would come. No one would have thought that Lian Yilian would come here, let alone that instead of looking for Zhao Wuji, she would come looking for Tang Yu. But she happened to come, and she happened to be in Tang Yu's room. Seeing the girl in the red dress walk in, she shook her head, sighed, and said, "In the middle of the night, a big girl wants to run around outside, isn't she afraid that someone will rape you?" After saying the word "rape", her face didn't turn red, she was really proud of herself. Her skin is really thicker and older. It's a pity that she is still very tender in other places, not only does she still think that others can't see that she is a woman disguised as a man, nor can she tell whether others are a man or a woman? She still believed that the big girl in the red dress was a big girl. Tang Yu smiled. He laughed like a tiger saw a sheep automatically fed into his tiger's mouth. Tang Yu's smile was gentle and charming, with a hint of shyness. No matter what he was thinking in his heart, he always smiled like this. I don't know how many people have been killed by this smile. Lian Yilian sighed again, and said: "Fortunately, you finally came back peacefully, otherwise you would really die of anxiety." Tang Yu said: "Who will die in a hurry?" Lian Yilian pointed to her nose and said, "Of course it's me." Tang Yuyan asked, "What are you in a hurry for?" Lian Yilian said: "Why am I not in a hurry? Don't you really not see how much I care about you?" Tang Yu's face seemed to be a little red, but in fact, he was about to burst out laughing. ——This girl actually wants to seduce me, a woman from a good family, with a beauty trick. Tang Yu held back her laughter, lowered her head and asked, "Did you see my senior brother?" Lian Yilian immediately shook her head and said, "I didn't look for him at all, I came here to see you." Tang Yu lowered her head and said, "Look at me? What's so good about me?" Lian Yilian said: "I don't know what's so good about you, I just can't help but want to see you, I really want to die." The more shy Tang Yu became, the more explicit her words became, and the more courageous she became. She actually took Tang Yu's hand. ——Since everyone is a woman, what does holding hands matter? Of course she doesn't care. Of course Tang Yu didn't care. Although he still doesn't know what this girl is thinking, but no matter what she wants to do, he doesn't care. Anyway, it is definitely not him who suffers. Even if she just wanted to tease the girl in the red dress, it would be bad luck this time. Seeing Tang Yu's "shy" look, even Yi Lian almost burst out laughing. ——This big girl must already be very interested in me, otherwise, why would you let me hold "her" hand? Lian Yilian held back her laughter and said, "Shall we go for a walk?" Tang Yudao: "It's midnight, why do you have to go out?" Lian Yilian said: "Your senior brother lives next door, I don't want him to know that I'm here!" Tang Yu said: "Why?" Lian Yilian said: "I'm afraid he will be jealous." Tang Yu has begun to understand. ——It turned out that this girl fell in love with Zhao Wuji, and she was afraid that I would hook up with Zhao Wuji, so she came to the bottom of the pot to seduce me. If I really fell in love with her, of course I would throw Zhao Wuji away, and she just went to pick up a bargain . Although Tang Yu was amused in his heart, he put on a very angry look on his face and said, "I'm just his junior sister. He doesn't care about me at all. Why should he be jealous?" Lian Yilian smiled happily, and said, "Actually, I also know that you won't fall in love with him." Tang Yudao: "How do you know?" Lian Yilian said with a smile: "What am I not better than him? How could you fall in love with him?" Tang Yu's face turned even redder. Lian Yilian said: "Are you going out with me?" Tang Yu blushed and shook her head, "I'm afraid." Lian Yilian said: "What are you afraid of?" Tang Yu said, "I'm afraid others will rape me." Lian Yilian said: "With me by your side, what are you afraid of?" Tang Yu said, "I'm just afraid of you." Lian Yilian laughed again. She suddenly "discovered" that this shy-looking big girl was really a vixen. She is a woman. But now even she seems to be a little moved, even a woman will be moved when she sees it, let alone a man? If there is a man who is with "her" every day, it would be strange not to be fascinated by her. Zhao Wuji is a man. Zhao Wuji was with "her" every day. Lian Yilian made up her mind not to let any vixen charm Zhao Wuji. If someone said that she fell in love with Zhao Wuji, she would never admit it. She did this only because Zhao Wuji treated her pretty well and let her go. She didn't want to owe him this favor, and happened to have nothing else to do, so she stopped by to investigate for Zhao Wuji, whether this big girl is a vixen. This big girl who can kill without making a show is not only scary, but also a bit suspicious. This is her own statement. So even if someone is suspicious of what she said "coincidentally", "just in time", and "by the way", she doesn't care. Because this was originally for her to hear, as long as she felt satisfied was enough. In the soft April and the soft wind, Tang Yu leaned softly on her body, as if she had no strength at all. Lian Yilian simply hugged the big girl, hugging her so tightly that she could even feel the big girl's heartbeat. Her own heart seemed to be beating too. The older girl seemed to be pushing her, but she didn't really push hard. "Where are you taking me?" "Go somewhere nice." "I know it must not be a good place." "why?" "Because you are not a good person." Even Yilian herself has to admit that she really can't be considered a good person. She acts like a villain. But this place is really a good place-the kind of place only villains would take girls. The green grass on the ground is like a bed, surrounded by thick leaves and flowers, which can just block the view from the outside, and the air is full of intoxicating fragrance of flowers. If a girl is willing to come to such a place with a man, it usually means that she is ready to give up resistance. Even Yilian herself was very proud: "You can tell in good conscience, how is this place like?" Tang Yu blushed and said, "Only a villain like you can find this kind of place." Lian Yilian said with a smile: "Even I have been looking for a long time to find someone like me." Tang Yu said: "Did you plan to bring me here?" Lian Yilian did not deny it. This time she did have a plan already, and she had already planned what to do next. She suddenly pulled Tang Yu over, and kissed the corner of the fake girl's mouth. Tang Yu's whole body softened. She fell into the arms of the fake villain, and they both fell down together, on the grass like a bed. If it is said that even Yilian is not nervous at all, that is also false. Not only has she never hugged a man, she hasn't even hugged a woman. Her breathing was also a little short, and her face started to feel hot. This fake big girl fell into her arms with a giggle, and pressed against her chest, making her heart almost jump out. This fake big girl is the real villain. Given this kind of good opportunity, of course he would not miss it. This fake villain is actually a real big girl, and her whole body is really limp. It is by no means difficult for a villain to make a big girl weak. Of course he knew that there was something "wrong" in a big girl. Even Yilian knew that she had to take action now. The hands of this "big girl" were moving wildly, very irregularly. Although she is not afraid that "she" will touch her vitals, she does not want "her" to find out that she is a fake man. She made a sudden move, and with the last bit of her strength, she pinched the acupoints on Tang Yu's arm joints. Although the techniques she uses are not as powerful as the "separate tendons and bones", their nature is very similar. Tang Yu really couldn't move this time, looked at her in surprise, and said, "What are you doing?" Lian Yilian's heart was still beating and she was still panting. Tang Yu said: "Do you really want to rape me?" Lian Yilian finally calmed down, shook her head and said with a smile: "I'm already very happy that you didn't rape me, how could I rape you?" Tang Yu said: "Then why do you use this method to deal with me, I... didn't push you!" Lian Yilian sighed, and said: "I also know that you won't push me, I just want you to be more honest, because I don't want to die in your hands like that master chef. " Tang Yudao: "Why would I treat you like that? Can't you see what I mean to you...to you?" He seemed to be really wronged, as if he was going to cry at any moment. Lian Yilian's heart softened again, and she said softly, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you." Tang Yu said: "What exactly do you want?" Lian Yilian said: "Zhao Wuji's martial arts are passed down in his family, I have never heard that he has a junior sister, how could he suddenly become a junior sister like you?" Tang Yu suddenly sighed, and said, "You don't look stupid, how can you not even understand this kind of thing!" Lian Yilian said: "What is this kind of thing?" Tang Yudao: "There are also many kinds of junior sisters. You don't have to practice martial arts with your master to be considered a junior sister." Lian Yilian said: "Which kind of junior sister are you?" Tang Yu said, "Why don't you ask him?" He seemed a little angry: "As long as he admits that I am his kind of junior sister, no matter what kind of junior sister I am, no one else will care." What he said was really reasonable, and Lian Yilian couldn't refute it. Tang Yu sighed again, and said, "Actually, you can rest assured that there is absolutely nothing between me and him. He never even touched my hand." Lian Yilian said: "You think I'm jealous?" Tang Yu said: "Don't you?" Even Yilian was a little angry. When a person's thoughts are exposed, he will always be a little angry. She said with a straight face: "No matter what, I always feel that your origin is a bit suspicious, so I want to..." Tang Yu said: "What do you want?" Lian Yilian said: "I want to search for you." Tang Yu said: "Okay, you can search, I will let you search all over my body." He blushed and bit his lip, looking as if he had been greatly wronged. If Lian Yilian was really a man, if she had the courage to search him "all over", she would find out that this big girl is a fake. It's a pity that Lian Yilian is neither courageous enough, nor does she intend to take advantage of it. She didn't even dare to touch the "vital points" on Tang Yu's body. So she only found the embroidered purse, and of course she couldn't see anything wrong with it. This purse is Tang Yu's meticulous and proud masterpiece, even a veteran who is ten times more experienced than Lian Yilian, will definitely not be able to see the ingenuity in it. Tang Yu bit her lip, stared at her fiercely, and said, "Have you finished searching?" Lian Yilian said: "Yes." Tang Yu said, "Well, what do you mean?" In fact, he also knew that the meaning of "um" was to feel a little sorry. Because she really couldn't find anything suspicious. Tang Yu sneered and said, "I know you don't really want to search for me at all, you just... just want to take the opportunity to bully me and find an excuse to take advantage of me." As he spoke, his tears seemed to be about to flow out. Lian Yilian suddenly smiled. Tang Yudao: "Laugh when you take advantage of others, but thanks to you, you still have the nerve to laugh." Lian Yilian said: "You really think I took advantage of you?" Tang Yu said: "Don't you have one?" Lian Yilian said: "Okay, I'll tell you." She seemed to have made a lot of determination before she decided to tell this secret: "I am also a woman, how can I take advantage of you?" Tang Yu looked at her in surprise, as if this "secret" really surprised him. Lian Yilian said with a smile: "I often like to pretend to be a man, no wonder you can't see it." Tang Yu suddenly shook her head vigorously and said, "I don't believe it, even if you beat me to death, I don't believe it either." Lian Yilian smiled more happily and proudly. It wasn't until now that she "discovered" that her disguise skills are really good. She asked with a smile: "How do you believe it?" Tang Yu said: "I want to touch it." Although Lian Yilian was a little embarrassed, it didn't matter too much to let a woman touch her. So after thinking about it, I agreed: "You can only touch it lightly." She even grabbed Tang Yu's hand and touched it, because she was afraid that Tang Yu's hand would move randomly. Tang Yu smiled. Lian Yilian blushed, let go of his hand, and said, "Are you still angry now?" Tang Yu smiled and said, "Don't be angry anymore." He stretched out his hand again, and Lian Yilian lost his voice: "What else do you want to do?" Tang Yu said, "I still want to touch it." Lian Yilian said: "Could it be that you still don't believe that I'm a woman?" Tang Yu smiled and said, "I still want to touch you just because I believe you are a woman." Lian Yilian finally realized something was wrong. The look in the eyes of this "big girl" suddenly became very strange, but it was a pity that she realized it a little later. Tang Yu has made a lightning strike, pinched the acupuncture points on her arm joints, and said with a smile: "Because although you are a fake man, I happen to be a fake woman too!" Lian Yilian cried out, "Could it be that you are a man?" Tang Yu smiled and said, "If you don't believe it, you can feel it." Lian Yilian almost fainted. This big girl is actually a man! Just now she actually grabbed this man's hand to touch herself, even hugged him and kissed his mouth. Thinking of these things, Lian Yilian wished she could hit her head to death. Tang Yu was still laughing, like a weasel who just ate three hundred hens. Lian Yilian couldn't even cry. Tang Yu said: "You can't blame me, it was you who wanted to seduce me and bring me here." He smiled happily: "This is really a good place, no one will find it here." Lian Yilian said: "You...what do you want to do?" Tang Yu said: "I don't want to do anything, I just want to do what you did just now." Lian Yilian was ashamed, anxious, angry, and afraid. The most damning thing was that she felt an indescribable strange feeling in her heart. She really wanted to die. It's a pity that she couldn't die again. Tang Yu's hand had already reached into her clothes. She searched for him, and of course he would search for her, but of course he would not be as polite as her when he searched for her. Lian Yilian said loudly: "You kill me!" In fact, she herself knew that this sentence was very boring. Of course, Tang Yu would never take advantage of her so cheaply. Even if Tang Yu wanted to kill her, he would have to do many other things first. Those "other things" are really fatal. Lian Yilian burst into tears. She didn't want to cry at first, but it's a pity that her tears have completely disobeyed her command. Tang Yu's hand was moving, very softly and slowly. Really moving. He smiled and said, "I know what you are afraid of, because you must still be a virgin." Hearing the word "virgin", Lian Yilian cried even more sadly. Tang Yudao: "But you should also be able to see that a man like me is not very interested in women, so as long as you are obedient, I might let you go." These words didn't seem to be said intentionally to coax her. He is a man who looks too much like a woman, maybe he really has no interest in women. Lian Yilian finally had another ray of hope, and couldn't help asking: "How do you want me to be obedient?" Tang Yudao: "I also have something to ask you. If I ask a question, you have to answer it. As soon as I hear that you have told a lie, I will..." He smiled: "You know what I'm going to do then, even if I don't tell you." Of course Lian Yilian knew. Just because she knew it, she was afraid. Tang Yudao: "Let me ask you, who are you and what is your relationship with Zhao Wuji? How do you know if he has a junior sister? How do you know so much about him? Why do you want to investigate my background?" Lian Yilian said: "If I tell all these things, you will let me go?" Tang Yu said: "I will definitely let you go." Lian Yilian said: "Then you let me go first, then I will speak out, I must speak out." Tang Yu smiled. Just when he started to laugh, he had already lifted off her clothes and said with a smile: "I never like to bargain with others. If you don't say anything, I will take off your clothes first." Lian Yilian stopped crying. Tang Yu said: "Are you going to tell me?" Lian Yilian suddenly said loudly: "Don't say it." Tang Yu felt a little surprised instead, and said, "Aren't you afraid?" Lian Yilian said: "I'm afraid, I'm terribly afraid, but I will never say it." Tang Yu was even more surprised: "Why?" Lian Yilian bit her lip hard, and said: "Because I already know that you are a man, and that you want to harm Zhao Wuji, no matter if I say it or not, you will never let me go." She had already figured this out. Tang Yu suddenly realized that although this girl was very timid, she was extremely smart. Lian Yilian said: "Whether I say it or not, you will...will rape me anyway." She actually said these two words by herself. 因为她的心已横了，人已豁了出去，大声说道：“你动手吧，我不怕，我就当作被疯狗咬了一口，可是我死也不会放过你！” 唐玉实在想不到她怎会忽然变成这样子，如果别的男人看见她这样子，也许就会放过她了。 可惜唐玉不是别的男人。 他简直不能算是个人。 连一莲终于晕了过去。 就在唐玉伸手去拉她腰带时，她已晕了过去。 连一莲醒来的时候，已经是两天之后的事了。 她居然还没有死，居然还能再张开眼睛，已经是怪事。 ——有些事比死更可怕，更要命，也许她不如还是死了的好。 可是那些事并没有发生。 ——她还是个处女，那种事是不是发生过，当然，她知道得很清楚。 那个不是人的人为什么会放过她？ 她真的想不通了。 她醒来的时候，是在一辆马车里，全身仍然软绵绵的，全无力气，连坐都坐不起来。 是谁把她送上这辆马车的？现在准备要送她到什么地方去？ 她正想找个人问，车窗外已经有个人伸进头来，微笑道：“大小姐你好。” 这个人不是那冒牌的大姑娘，也不是赵无忌，她虽然不认得这个人，这个人却认得她。 连一莲道：“你是谁？” 这人道：“是个朋友。” 连一莲道：“是谁的朋友？” 这人道：“是大小姐的朋友，也是老太爷的朋友。” 连一莲道：“哪个老太爷？” 这人说道：“当然是大小姐的老太爷呀！” 连一莲的脸色变了。 这个人不但认得她，好像连她的底细都知道。 她的身世并不悲惨，却是个秘密，她不愿让任何人知道这秘密，更不愿让赵无忌知道。 她立刻又问道：“你也是赵无忌的朋友？” 这人微笑，摇头。 连一莲道：“我怎会到这里来的？” 这人道：“是个朋友送来的，他叫我把大小姐送回家去。” 连一莲道：“这个朋友是谁？” 这人道：“他姓唐，叫唐玉。” 听见“唐玉”这名字，连一莲又晕了过去。 四月十二，晴。 唐玉起来的时候太阳早已照上窗户。 平常到了这种时候，他们早已起程动身了，今天却直到现在还没有人来催他，难道无忌也像他一样，今天起床也迟了些？ 其实他睡得并不多，他回来得很迟，上床时已经快天亮了。 他最多只睡了一个多时辰，可是看起来精神却显得特别好。 一个人心情愉快的时候，总是会显得容光焕发，精神抖擞。 他的心情当然很愉快，因为昨天晚上他又做了件很得意的事。 想到连一莲发现他是男人时，脸上那种表情，直到现在他还是觉得很好笑。 他相信连一莲醒来时一定会觉得很奇怪，一定想不通他为什么会放过她。 本来他也不想放过她的。 可是就在他拉下她腰带时，忽然有样东西从连一莲身上掉了出来。 看到这样东西，他立刻就猜出了连一莲的真实身份。 他不但知道这个女孩子的来历，而且还知道她和赵无忌之间的关系。 但是他不能杀她，也不想杀她。 因为这个女孩子活着远比死了对他有用。但是他也不能把她放走，因为他绝不能让她和赵无忌见面。 这本来是个难题，幸好他正好在这里，所以这难题也很快就解决了。 这里虽然还是大风堂的地盘，却已近边界——大风堂当年和霹雳堂划定的地区边境。 霹雳堂和唐家结盟之后，第一件要做的事，就是彻底毁灭大风堂。 现在他们的行动虽然还没有开始，可是在各地都已有埋伏布置。 尤其是在这里。 这里是大风堂最后的一个据点，却是他们发动进击时的第一站。 他们暂时虽然还不能像大风堂一样，在这里正式开舵，暗地早已有了布置，甚至连大风堂分舵里都已有人被他们收买。 ——大风堂绝对想不到这个“奸细”是谁的。 ——因为这个人不但一向老实可靠，而且还是大风堂在这里最高负责人之一。 他们收买了这个人，就好像已经在大风堂心脏里种下了一株毒草。 唐玉微笑着，穿上了他的红裙。 现在连一莲当然已经被唐家埋伏在这暗卡中的人送走了。 他们做事一向迅速可靠。 昨天晚上，他把她送去的时候，心里也并不是完全没有一点惋惜。 她还是个处女。 她年轻，美丽，健康，结实。 她的胸脯饱满坚挺，皮肤光滑如丝缎，一双修长雪白的腿，在夜色中看来更迷人。 如果说他不心动，那是骗人的。 他虽然不能杀她，可是先把她用一用，对他也许反而有好处。 一个处女，对她第一个男人，总是会有种特别奇妙的感情。 到了生米已经成熟饭时，女人通常都认命的。 只可惜他已经不能算是个真正的男人了。 自从练了阴劲后，他身上某一部分男人的特征，就开始退化。 他的欲望渐渐已只能用别的法子来发泄，一些邪恶而残酷的法子。 唐玉走到外面的大院里来时，大车已套好，马也上了鞍。 看到马上的鞍，想到鞍里的针，他的心情当然更愉快，几乎忍不住要笑出来。 赵无忌知道他就是唐玉时，脸上的表情一定更有趣。 奇怪的是，一向起得很早的赵无忌，今天居然还没有露面。他正想问赶车的马夫，赵无忌已经来了，却不是从房里走出来的，而是从外面走进来的。 原来他今天起得比平常还早，只不过一起来就出去了。 ——一清早他就到哪里去了？去干什么？ 唐玉没有问。 他从来不过问赵无忌的私事，他不能让赵无忌对他有一点怀疑。 他始终遵守一个原则。 ——尽量多听多看，尽量少说少问。 反正马已上好了鞍，赵无忌也已经快上马了，这次行动，很快就将结束。 想不到赵无忌走进来之后，第一件事就是吩咐那个马夫：“把马鞍卸下来。” 唐玉在呼吸，轻轻的，慢慢的，深深的呼吸，他紧张时就会这样子。 他不能不紧张。 因为赵无忌看起来像也很紧张，脸色，神情，态度，都跟平时不一样。 ——难道他已发现了秘密？ 唐玉微笑着走过去。 他的呼吸已恢复正常，他的笑容还是那么可亲，但是他心里已经作了最坏的准备。 只要赵无忌的神色有一点不对，他立刻就要先发制人。 他随时都可以发出那最后的一击。 那一击绝对致命。 无忌的脸色的确很沉重，显然有点心事。 但是他对他这个朋友，并没有一点防范的意思，只不过长长叹了口气，道：“这是匹好马。” 唐玉道：“确实是匹好马。” 无忌道：“到了连朋友都不能救你的时候，一匹好马却说不定能救你的命。” 唐玉道：“我相信。” 无忌道：“好马都有人性，你对它好，它也会对你好的，所以只要能够让它舒服一点，我就会让它舒服一点。” 他忽又笑了笑：“如果我是一匹马，要我在没事的时候也背个马鞍，我也一定会觉得很不舒服很不高兴。” 唐玉也笑了。 无忌又解释：“今天我们既然不走，就正好让它舒服一天。” 其实他不必解释，唐玉也听出来了。 他并没有怀疑他的朋友，只不过怜惜这匹好马而已。 可是今天他为什么不走呢？ 无忌道：“我们一定要在这里多留一天，因为有个人今天晚上要到这里来。” 他的表情又变得有点紧张：“我一定非要见到这个人不可。” 这个人当然是很重要的人，他们这次见面，当然有很重要的事要商议。 ——这个人是谁？ ——这件事是什么事？ 唐玉也没有问。 无忌却忽然问他：“你不想知道我要见的这个人是谁？” 唐玉道：“我想知道。” 无忌道：“你为什么不问？” 唐玉道：“因为这是你的私事，跟我完全没有关系。” 他笑了笑又道：“何况，如果你想告诉我，我不问你也一样会告诉我的。” Wuji also laughed.对这个朋友的明理和懂事，他不但欣赏，而且觉得很满意。 他忽然又问：“你早上喝不喝酒？” 唐玉道：“平常我是不喝的，可是如果有朋友喝，我一天十二时辰都可以奉陪。” 无忌看着他，长长叹息，道：“能够交到你这样的朋友，真是我的运气。” 唐玉又笑了。因为他实在忍不住要笑，几乎真的要笑破肚子。 幸好他常常在笑，而且总是笑得那么温柔亲切，所以谁也没法子看出他心里在想什么。 有酒，有人，却没有人喝酒，他们甚至连一点喝酒的意思都没有。 无忌道：“我并不是真的想找你来喝酒。” 唐玉微笑道：“我看得出。”他的笑容中充满了了解和友谊。“我也看得出你一定有什么事要跟我说。” 无忌手里拿着酒杯，虽然连一滴酒都没有喝，却一直忘记放下。 唐玉道：“无论你心里有什么烦恼，都可以告诉我。” 无忌又沉默了很久，才缓缓道：“我想你一定知道我跟大风堂的关系。” 唐玉并不否认，道：“令尊大人的侠名，我小时候就听说过。” 无忌道：“你当然也听人说过，大风堂是个什么样的组织。” 唐玉道：“我知道大风堂的总堂主是云飞扬云老爷子，另外还有三位堂主，令尊大人也是其中之一。” 这些都是江湖中人都知道的事，他尽力不让赵无忌发现他对大风堂知道的远比别人多。 说不定他还可以从赵无忌嘴里听到一些他本来不知道的事。 无忌道：“其实大风堂的组织远比别人想像中更庞大，更复杂，只凭他们四个人，是绝对没法子照顾得了的。” 他果然没有让唐玉失望，接着道：“譬如说，大风堂虽然也有收入，可是开支更大，云老爷、司空晓风、上官刃，先父却都不是善于理财的人，如果不是另外还有个人在暗中主理财务，帮补亏空，大风堂根本就没法子支持下去。” 这正是唐玉最感兴趣的事。 无论做什么事都需要钱，大风堂既然不愿像别的帮派那样，沾上娼与赌这两样最容易赚钱的事，当然就得另找财源。 赚钱并不容易，理财更不容易。 视钱如粪土的江湖豪杰们，当然不会是这一行的专家。 他们也早已猜到，暗中一定另外有个人在主持大风堂的财务。 无忌道：“江湖中绝对没有任何人知道他的身份姓名，连大风堂里知道的人都不多，因为他答应做这些事的时候，就已经和云老爷子约法三章——” 任何人都不能干涉他的事务和账目。 任何人都不能透支亏空。 他的身份绝对保密。 无忌道：“云老爷子答应了他这三件事后，他才肯接下这个烫手的热山芋。” 唐玉静静的听着，表面上绝对没有露出一点很感兴趣的样子。 无忌道：“因为他本来并不是武林中人，如果别人知道他和大风堂的关系，就一定会有麻烦找上他的。” 唐玉叹了口气，道：“也许还不仅麻烦而已，如果我是大风堂的对头，我一定会不惜一切，先把这个人置之于死地！” 这句话真是说得恰到好处。 能够说出这种话来的人，就表示他心中坦荡，绝不会做出这种事。 无忌叹道：“如果他有什么意外，对大风堂实在是很大的损失，所以……” 他的表情更紧张，声音压得更低：“所以我今天不能不特别小心。” 唐玉道：“今天要到这里来的人，就是他？” 无忌道：“今天晚上子时之前，他一定会到。” 唐玉虽然一向都很沉得住气，可是现在却连他自己都已感到他的心跳加快了。 ——如果能除掉这个人，简直就等于砍掉大风堂的一条腿。 ——这个人今天晚上就要来。 对唐玉来说，这实在是很大的诱惑。 可是他一直在警告自己，表面上绝不能露出一点声色来。 无忌道：“他虽然不是武林中人，却是个名人，关中一带的票号钱庄，最少有一半都跟他有来往，所以别人都叫他财神。” 财神。 这两个字一入唐玉的耳朵，就好像已经用刀子刻在他心里了。 只要有了这条线索，找到这个人已不难。 唐玉立刻作出很严肃的样子，道：“这是你们大风堂的秘密，你不应该告诉我的。” 无忌道：“我一定要告诉你。” 唐玉道：“为什么？” 无忌道：“因为你是我的朋友，我信任你，而且……” 他凝视着唐玉，慢慢的接着道：“有件事我非要你帮忙不可。” 唐玉立刻道：“只要我能做到的，我一定替你做。” 无忌道：“这件事你一定能做得到，也只有你能做得到。” 唐玉没有说什么。他已隐隐感觉到，又有一只羊要自动送入他的虎口。 酒杯还在手里，还没有放下去。 无忌终于喝了一口，又香又辣的大曲，沿着他舌头，慢慢流入他的咽喉。 他总算觉得比较振奋了些，总算说出了他的烦恼—— 大风堂在这里也有个分舵。 因为这里是大风堂最后一站，也是对敌的前哨，所以这里的分舵不但组织较大，属员也较多。 One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. 可是这两位舵主却相处得很好，因为他们都只知道为大风堂做事，并没有争权夺利的私心。 在大风堂最机密的档案里，对他们的记录是—— 姓名：樊云山。 绰号：玉面金刀客，半山道人。 年龄：五十六。 武器：紫金刀，三十六枚紫金镖。 师承：五虎断门刀。 妻：彭淑贞。（殁） 子：无。 嗜好：少年颇近声色，中年学道。 司空晓风对他的评语是： 聪明仔细，守法负责，才堪大用。 另一位是—— 姓名：丁北。 绰号：独臂神鹰。 年龄：二十九。 武器：剑。（断剑） 师承：无。 妻：无。 子：无。 嗜好：好赌，好酒。 司空晓风有知人之明，也有知人之名，大风堂档案里每一个人的纪录后面，都有他的评语。 只有丁北是例外。谁也不知道是司空晓风不愿评论这个人，还是这个人根本无法评论。 唐玉道：“我知道这个人。” 无忌道：“你也知道？” 唐玉道：“近几年来，独臂神鹰在江湖中的名气很大，而且做了几件令人侧目的事。” 他笑了笑：“想不到他也投入了大风堂。” 唐玉的笑容一向温柔可亲，可是这次却仿佛带着点讥诮之意。 因为丁北的名气虽然不小，可惜他的名气并不是那种值得别人羡慕尊敬的。 他的家世本来很好。 他的父亲是武当门下的俗家弟子，丁家是江南的世家，有名望、有财产。 但是他十五岁的时候，就被他父亲赶出了家门。 武当四大剑客中，最负盛名的金鸡道人，是他父亲的同胞师兄，看在他父亲的面上，收他为弟子。 想不到他在武林中人人视为圣地武当玄真观里，居然还是一样我行我素，酗酒滋事。 有一次他居然喝得大醉，竟逼着他的师父的一个好朋友下山去决斗。 他的右臂就是在这次决斗中被砍断的，他也被逐出了武当，连他的剑都被折断。 从此之后，他就失去了下落。 想不到七八年后他又出现了，带着他那柄断剑出现了。 他独臂，断剑，练成了一种辛辣而诡秘的剑法，单身上武当，击败了他以前的师父金鸡道人。 所以他自称神鹰。 他仍然我行我素，独来独往，这几年来，的确做了几件令人侧目的事。 ——可惜他做的这些事，就像他的为人一样，也不能让别人佩服尊敬。 幸好他自己一点都不在乎。 无忌明白唐玉的意思，也看出他笑容中的讥诮之意。 但是无忌自己的看法却不一样：“不管他以前是什么样的人，自从入了大风堂之后，他的确是全心全力在为大风堂做事。” 唐玉微笑，道：“也许他已经变了，已经放下屠刀，立地成佛。” 无忌道：“他是的。” 唐玉道：“玉面金刀客为什么又叫做半山道人？这两个名字应该是两个完全不同的人。” 无忌道：“樊云山中年丧妻之后，就开始学道，所以玉面金刀就
