Today, the drizzle has stopped, but the clouds are still dense. On the other side of the Gaowang Waterfall, the white-robed man walked forward with heavy steps, and the Venerable Chaotian and Hong Jiang under his arms were still poisoned and comatose, unconscious. After walking out for a while, relying on a natural and keen detection instinct, he subconsciously felt as if someone was following him—— The white-robed man fixed his body and listened attentively, there was no other sound except the eerie silence. He walked again, thinking in his heart: "It's strange, I didn't hear anything, how could I feel that someone is following behind? Besides, the surrounding area is empty, and there is no one there. Could it be that this is just my suspicion? That's all?"

After pondering for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out. He shook his head and continued on. After walking for a while, that weird fantasy suddenly grew up in his mind. The white-robed man was thinking, and the contemplation just now returned to his mind: "Since my intuition tells me that there is a mysterious figure behind my back, I can never be wrong again. Over the past ten years, I have lived a tense life with fear all the time, and I have already developed a vigilance that is different from ordinary people. Instinct, what wind and grass kinetic energy can hide it from me?"

At this moment, the sun came out from behind the dense clouds, and the golden light sprinkled on a corner of the wilderness—— The white-robed man glanced back, and suddenly found a shadow that disappeared in a flash. He settled down and looked again, but there was only the projection of the high mountain forest on the ground, and there was no difference. He silently said to himself: "Although I don't know who this follower is, but judging from this fleeting shadow, he must have excellent lightness kung fu." After crossing the wilderness and passing a mountain corner, the terrain gradually became steeper. The white-robed man saw a big tree in front of him, and quickly dodged behind the tree.

Suddenly a figure approached. The white-robed man placed Venerable Chaotian and Hong Jiang under his arms next to the tree, swayed and jumped out, just blocking the way of that person—— As far as I could see, I could see this man's complexion was sallow, his face was full of sickness, he was about thirty years old, his eyes were like a falcon, staring at him coldly. The white-robed man said: "My friend has followed the old man from Gaowang Waterfall all the way to this place, what can I learn from you?" The man with a sick face said coldly: "The eyes and ears are very sensitive."

The man in white pointed at Hong Jiang and Venerable Chaotian, who were still unconscious, and said, "My friend, are you here for these two, or are you specifically looking for trouble with a certain family?" The sick-looking man glanced at the two people lying beside the tree, and said, "The one I'm looking for is Xie Jinyin." The white-robed man said in a deep voice: "But the friend is here for a certain family?" The man with a sick face said: "If you are Xie Jinyin, I have found the wrong person, but you keep calling yourself Sima Daoyuan in Gaowang Waterfall, I am not sure of your real identity..."

In the middle of the conversation, he suddenly raised his right hand and slapped him with a palm. Xie Jinyin has so much experience, the opponent's palm seems to be lightly described, without any strength, but there is a strong and dignified momentum in his bones, and he is the first to strike, it is even more important, if Xie Jinyin wants to break the opponent's momentum , it seems that there is only one way to fight back with the sword. An opponent who forced Xie Jinyin to fight with his sword in just a short time, so far, is obviously still rare—— However, Xie Jinyin still had no intention of using a sword.

Seeing the opponent's palm hit, Xie Jinyin quickly withdrew and took half a step backwards, his hands fluttered, changing hardness and softness, and immediately sealed the sick man's palm.The sick-looking man waved his palm and attacked again, the opponent blocked seven or eight moves, all of which were reciprocal, suddenly the sick-looking man slammed, stopped his hands and said: "Why don't you use a sword yet?" Xie Jinyin said lightly: "Unless it is absolutely necessary , The sword of a certain family is never thrown lightly." The sickly man said: "The good ones don't come, and the bad ones come, do you think I will be a fuel-efficient lamp?"

Xie Jinyin said: "It is true that your master's palm strength is strong for a while, but a certain family still doesn't need to use weapons to deal with your bare hands." The sickly man said angrily, "Do you think I'm not qualified enough to make you use a sword?" Xie Jinyin said coldly, "I didn't mean that either." The sickly man was stunned for a moment, raised his head in thought, then snorted, swung his palms up again, and struck out with both hands in a chain, following the changes in the moves, two waves of invincible force gushed out. The purpose of the sickly man's aggressive attack was nothing more than to force the opponent to draw his sword. Xie Jinyin didn't know his intention, and secretly felt suspicious in his heart, but he was calm and determined by nature, put aside his doubts, and stabilized the situation in a short while. The two sides played against each other for more than 20 moves, and it was actually evenly matched.

The sick-looking man swung his palms with unceasing strength, which shows that his skills are quite profound. In addition, his cunning moves prevented Xie Jinyin from gaining the slightest advantage. This was the first time he had encountered a formidable opponent in the past twenty years. Conquering the enemy and winning, he had no room for consideration, and decided to attack with the sword. But when he saw his right wrist tremble, there was a crisp "choke", and in an instant, lightning shot out from all over the sky, and the sword had already reached his hand—— As the long sword came out of the box, an invisible murderous aura rushed out.

When the cold light shot, the sickly man was actually a little faster. With a wrong hand, he struck out first. He turned around and waved his palms to attack, and they were completed almost at the same time. The sickly man made this series of quick movements, Undoubtedly, it was to offset the fierce and sinister aura that the opponent carried when he drew his sword. Even so, an invisible murderous aura still filled the surroundings, and the sick man's palm was suffocated, and he couldn't pass it out any more.Xie Jinyin smiled coldly, and said: "Your Excellency has repeatedly forced you, forgive me for offending a certain family."

With a movement of his right hand, the blade of the sword made a sound of fierce wind and thunder, and directly took the enemy above the waist. At the same time, a fierce murderous aura also enveloped the enemy's figure. The sickly man said coldly: "It's a good move 'Xiajin Fenghan'——" In an instant, sweat stains appeared on his forehead, and he also urged all his strength to send out a palm to reject it. But after hearing the strange sounds of "Woo" and "Woo", the figures suddenly separated, and the two stood facing each other five steps apart. Finally, the sickly man leaned his upper body slightly and kicked the ground back half a step. Xie Jinyin held the long sword in his hand, and said in a low voice: "Your Excellency was able to pick up Master Xiang, who has lived here for nearly twenty years, and I also feel that something is wrong. But for a while, he couldn't tell what was wrong. He is the owner of a village, so he is very familiar with the facilities in this villa. He understood that from here to the inner house, along the way, there were at least eight ambushes to intercept the enemy. Therefore, he did not raise any questions about Chu Xiaofeng accompanying him. But things went beyond his expectation, all the way to the back house, no one came to stop him. Until the main hall of the inner house, no one was intercepted. Master Xiang couldn't help looking back, only to see Chu Xiaofeng coming with two servants. Stepping into the hall, I saw a glass of wine and a knife on the Eight Immortals table in the hall. There is also a white note on the table, which reads: If you want to die comfortably, you can drink the glass of wine. The wine is poisonous, and you can die immediately without pain. If you want to die heroically, you can use a knife. The knife is very sharp and can stab Entering the front chest, cutting off the heart vein, it can also cut off the throat, and die vigorously. Signed wife stay below. A wife who leaves such a letter to her husband, think about it, what kind of couple that is. Master Xiang was stunned. Chu Xiaofeng stepped in. Followed by Chengfang and Huayuan. Owner Xiang turned around slowly, "You knew they had already left?" Chu Xiaofeng said: "I don't know! However, I feel that your Master Xiang is just a puppet being used by others..." Owner Xiang continued: "You..." Chu Xiaofeng continued: "We just have this kind of idea, let Your Excellency prove it yourself." Master Xiang said: "Now, I have confirmed it." Chu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Master Xiang, are you going to change your mind?" Master Xiang said: "What to change? They have already arranged everything for me." Chu Xiaofeng said: "Arrange what?" Master Xiang said: "This." He reached out to take the poisoned wine on the table and drank it down. The toxicity is quite strong, and the breath will die immediately after ingestion. Seeing that Villa Master Xiang's face turned blue, Chu Xiaofeng realized that something was wrong, grabbed Master Xiang, and realized that he died of exhaustion. Slowly letting go of his right hand, Chu Xiaofeng let out a sigh of relief, and said, "It's a step too late." Cheng Fang whispered: "Young master! I think they are not far away, let's chase after them!" Chu Xiaofeng said: "I can't catch up, go call Wang Ping and the others! Remember, protect that Shi Qi and don't let him die." Cheng Fang bowed and turned away. After a while, Wang Ping and his party came over. Chu Xiaofeng ordered a comprehensive search. The evacuation was very clean, except for a batch of gold and silver belongings that were not taken away, all clues and evidence were not left. Wang Ping sighed and said, "My lord, we found nothing but a fortune." Chu Xiaofeng let out a sigh of relief, and said, "Although they walked quickly, at least we have gained a lot." Wang Ping said: "What harvest?" Chu Xiaofeng said: "Flower! We know that this combination is related to the word Hua, in the future. There will be clues to follow." He acted very relaxed, as if he didn't care about this group of evacuated people at all. Wang Ping frowned secretly, and thought: It's so easy to see the Duke, could it be that he has already made preparations. Chu Xiaofeng glanced back at Shi Qi and said with a smile, "Brother Shi, you have seen all of this." Shi Qi, who was called Brother Shi, was a little flattered, and hurriedly said: "The little ones have seen it." Chu Xiaofeng said: "There are a lot of gold and silver belongings left here, you can take some at will." Shi Qi was taken aback for a moment, and said, "My lord, is this true?" Chu Xiaofeng said with a smile: "When is this time, what is this feeling, why should I lie to you?" Shi Qidao: "My lord, I...I..." Chu Xiaofeng continued: "Originally, you can follow us, but we will meet with them in the future, and when we see you again, I believe that they will never let you go, so why not take some gold and silver and find a stable Here, hide your name and live a comfortable life for the rest of your life!" Shi Qidao: "Young master is benevolent and virtuous, and the youngest is never forgetting, but I believe that they will still not let me go." Chu Xiaofeng said: "Of course not, but you are not a very important person among them. They will not let you go, but they will not use a lot of effort to find you. There are great opportunities for the rest of my life.” Shi Qi suddenly knelt on the ground, kowtowed respectfully to Chu Xiaofeng, and said, "I just discovered the difference between good people, bad people, gentlemen, and villains now." Chu Xiaofeng said: "Get some gold and silver! Now, they don't have time to look for you, so take this opportunity to go away!" Shi Qi took a sum of gold and silver, turned around and left. Looking at Shi Qi's back, Wang Ping let out a sigh of relief, and said, "My lord, are you really letting him go like this?" Chu Xiaofeng said: "He has done a lot of bad things, right?" Wang Ping said: "That's right, this person is the worst of the group of killers." Chu Xiaofeng said: "Wang Ping, in the dark, there will be a power of heaven, he can't go." Wang Ping said in a low voice: "My lord, what should we do now?" Chu Xiaofeng said: "Now, find a way to take away the gold and silver. Don't take these ill-gotten gains for nothing. After taking the gold and silver, immediately withdraw from Baihuazhuang." Wang Ping responded, turned around and left. Looking at Cheng Fang and Hua Yuan beside him, Chu Xiaofeng said slowly: "Look around, where do they keep pigeons?" Cheng Fang and Hua Yuan responded, then turned and left. After sending away Cheng Fang and Hua Yuan, Chu Xiaofeng walked slowly to the bedroom. It was a luxuriously furnished bedroom, with duck curtains and golden hooks, satin quilts with mandarin duck pillows, white silk covering the walls, and yellow felt on the floor. Chu Xiaofeng looked around, and walked slowly to a wooden cabinet. He opened the wooden cabinet casually. The wooden cabinet is full of clothes. Chu Xiaofeng fiddled with his clothes, and sure enough he found a portal. Under the wooden cabinet, there is a turned-up wooden board that leads straight down. It was a hole big enough for a person to pass through. After a while, Wang Ping and others walked back with them. Cheng Fang and Hua Yuan each brought a pigeon and went into the room. Chu Xiaofeng smiled, pointed to the underground hole, and said, "They escaped from this place." Wang Ping said: "How many people can walk in this place? This Baihuazhuang seems to have a lot of people." Chu Xiaofeng said: "The thing is obvious, they have already prepared their withdrawal route, as long as they give an order or a secret signal, they can withdraw immediately." Wang Ping said: "My lord, could it be that they were planning to leave a long time ago?" Chu Xiaofeng sighed, and said: "That's where the benefits and disadvantages come in. We always thought we were very smart, but in fact, he had already figured it out. The ambush by Manager Qiu and the appearance of Master Xiang were all just his actions. Part of buying time, it turns out, they still got the news early." Wang Ping said: "My lord, let's chase after them quickly, depending on the situation, they won't go too far." Chu Xiaofeng smiled slightly, and said, "It's too late to chase after him." Wang Ping said: "My lord, is it already in your mind?" Chu Xiaofeng answered inappropriately, and said, "Now, can we go?" Wang Ping said: "That's enough." Turned around and walked forward. Chu Xiaofeng followed closely behind and walked out of Baihuazhuang. Once out of the village gate.Chu Xiaofeng immediately rushed to the front to lead the way, and led them into a forest. Chu Xiaofeng looked around, then suddenly walked to a patch of grass, took out a few sets of very old clothes, and said with a smile, "Everyone put on old clothes." Chu Xiaofeng seemed to have been prepared, and quickly disguised the accompanying people as various identities. Chu Xiaofeng still took Cheng Fang and Hua Yuan to lead the way. Wang Ping was divided into three groups, each wearing different clothes.Pretending to be different identities, there are several secrets, which maintain the connection with each other. Chu Xiaofeng pretended to be a middle-aged scholar, and Cheng Fang and Hua Yuan pretended to be two village boys. Chu Xiaofeng seemed to have his own heart, Kui walked for a while, and stopped to have a look. In this breath, I walked more than ten miles. The itinerary is very strange, it has been turning around Dushan. Most of them are walking in the weeds and piles of rocks. At this time, he was walking to the mouth of a valley. Dushan is not too big, and the situation is not dangerous. It is famous for producing jade, and there are many jade workers in the mountain. In this valley, it is one of the important places for industrial production. Therefore, at Taniguchi, there are many houses built by workers. But at the moment, it is clear that all workers are working in the valley. Chu Xiaofeng noticed the mark and pointed straight at Gu Zhong. At the mouth of the valley, the sound of breaking mountains and hitting rocks can be faintly heard in the valley. Cheng Fang and Hua Yuan quickly followed.A low one: "Young master, is there anything suspicious?" Chu Xiaofeng said: "According to the instructions of the sign, they seem to have entered this valley." Cheng Fang said, "My lord, why don't you go in and have a look?" Chu Xiaofeng said: "In this valley is the Dushan Jade Farm, and it seems to be working right now. People from Baihuazhuang should not withdraw into this valley." Cheng Fang said: "I've seen the terrain, and it is said that Baihuazhuang is not far from here, but they made a long detour before arriving at this place. Maybe this is their early arrangement." Chu Xiaofeng nodded, and said: "Yes, on the surface, this place is not secret at all. In fact, this valley is very safe. No one can escape the surveillance of the workers on both sides. This is a trap. Let's go in and see Look." Cheng Fang said: "I will go in with the young master, Hua Yuan will wait for them at the mouth of the valley." Chu Xiaofeng said: "Since we can't keep it secret, let's go in like this!" Not long after the two entered, the door of a bamboo house two feet away suddenly opened wide. A person shot out like an angry arrow, with a cold light like lightning, directly hitting Huayuan's back shoulder. Hua Yuan jumped up suddenly, and swung a sword. With a bang.A sharp knife with bull ears was blocked by Hua Yuan's sword. The one who held the knife was also a young man, but he looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, and he was wearing a gray suit. The clothes are the same color as the rocks, so once you lie down in the rocks, it's hard to see. The gray-clothed boy missed a single blow, and immediately took out a short sword from his pocket. The knives and swords staggered, and a fast attack was launched. He seemed to be worried about Hua Yuan screaming, so he wanted to kill Hua Yuan with a quick attack. Unexpectedly, Huayuan didn't call out, a sword was guarding the door tightly, more defending than attacking. In fact, Hua Yuan knew in her heart that there were many bamboo huts around here, probably hiding a lot of people. If he kills the boy in gray with a single sword.It will inevitably lead to the siege of more people. So, he's in no rush to win What's more, Wang Pingping and his party will arrive soon. The two sides fought for more than 30 sets, and still maintained an unbeatable situation. It was still the gray-clothed boy who couldn't help but opened his mouth and said, "My boy, can you hold your breath?" Hua Yuan smiled and said: "That's because your skills are too bad, you don't need to ask for help." The boy in gray said, "Hmph! Now, even if you call them, they won't be able to come back." Hua Yuan said: "You don't need them to come back, it's just a matter of me taking care of you." The sword tightened and launched a counterattack. This time, Hua Yuan counterattacked with all his strength, the sword was as fast as lightning, and the attack was extremely sharp. The gray-clothed boy was originally very fierce, but suddenly he faltered, barely received five swords, the sixth sword was stabbed in the throat by Hua Yuan, and fell to the ground die. After stabbing the gray-clothed boy to death with a single sword, Hua Yuan flattened his sword across his chest and treated the enemy suspiciously. He himself had already estimated that after killing this gray-clothed boy, he would be immediately besieged in that bamboo hut and thatched hut.Suddenly a lot of people came. But in fact, it was beyond his expectation, there was no movement in the bamboo house or thatched hut. After waiting for a while, Hua Yuan suddenly said in a loud voice: "Listen, everyone, since everyone has already seen their faces, there is no need to hide their heads and show their tails." Called several times in a row, but there was no answer. He is not very old, but he has quite a lot of experience in the world and ridicule. He did not search for bamboo houses or huts, but chose a dead corner on the mountain wall. Even if there are strong enemies to attack, he can reduce his worries. . Although he is young, he is bold, cautious, calm and cautious in dealing with things. Besides, Chu Xiaofeng led Cheng Fang into the valley, about ten feet deep, and turned a bend, the scenery suddenly changed. I saw forty or fifty workers on the cliffs on both sides, sticking to hammers and steel chisels, and kept hitting rocks to dig mountains. The gold and iron collided with the rocks, making an ear-splitting clang. He saw Chu Xiaofeng and Cheng Fang.Half of the workers put down the tools in their hands and focused their attention on the two. Chu Xiaofeng whispered: "Be careful, these workers are very suspicious." Cheng Fang nodded, Luck was alert. Suddenly, two workers pressed forward with a hammer and said, "The two are..." Chu Xiaofeng continued: "Traveling in the mountains and rivers, wandering here, disturbing everyone's work." The worker smiled and said: "You two are very interested, but we will stop here." Cheng Fang said: "Why, this doesn't seem to be a forbidden place?" The worker said: "It's not a forbidden place, but if you go further, it's the place where we store jade. It's inconvenient for outsiders to go there, so please bear with me." Cheng Fang smiled and said, "My friend is..." The worker said: "My servant, Li Yuan, is the foreman here." Cheng Fang said: "It turned out to be Foreman Li, no respect, no respect." Li Yuan said: "You're welcome. There are only a few thatched huts behind where the jade is stored. Apart from the jade production, this place is a poor mountain, and there is no scenery to speak of. Do you two want to see it? We just have to look at it. Ok that worked out. Looking back at Qing Chu Xiaofeng, he didn't intend to stop him, Cheng Fang became more courageous and said: "Foreman Li, in broad daylight, even if our hands and feet are not clean, we will not take your heavy stones, but since we Go into the valley and look behind, it's always the right thing to do." Li Yuandao: "Little brother, this is difficult to accommodate, the two of you should give up your mind." Cheng Fang asked, "Is there any king's law in this place?" Li Yuandao: "Yes! We are good citizens of Anshan, so naturally we must abide by the king's law." Cheng Fang said: "That's good, since this place has the king's law, we can probably go in." Li Yuan said coldly: "Little brother. You are not very old, but you have a very stubborn temper!" Cheng Fang said: "It's easy to say, easy to say." Li Yuandao: "You can't go in." Cheng Fang said: "Then you are not a person who abides by the king's law." Li Yuan sneered, and said, "Forget it! You two can give up." Cheng Fang laughed and said, "We've traveled a lot and seen some things in the world. Could this small valley really scare us?" Li Yuandao: "If you two must go in, there is only one way." Cheng Fang said: "Please give me some pointers, what can I do?" Li Yuandao: "Kill us." Cheng Fang said: "Killed, what is that? I am not the murderer." Li Yuandao: "If you want to go in and steal our work stone, it will be worse than killing us." Cheng Fang laughed and said: "Foreman Li, this is cheating. I have seen too much. If you want to block our door like this, I'm afraid you will be disappointed." Li Yuan's face changed, his eyes shot a fierce light, and he said coldly: "This method won't work, but we have to use the last method." Cheng Fang said: "Oh! What is the last solution?" Li Yuandao: "The last way is to kill you guys." Cheng Fang said: "This is the wishful thinking in everyone's mind. However, there is an important condition in the middle, that is, you have a way to kill us." Li Yuandao: "Killing people doesn't seem to be a difficult task. Although we haven't killed anyone before, we will still do it if we raise the hammer." Cheng Fang smiled and said, "I'm afraid that if I hit the hammer badly, I will lose my old life." Li Yuan sneered, and said, "We are just rock-breaking workers, and our lives are not very valuable. I'm afraid that if we hurt the two gentlemen, it won't be worth it..." Chu Xiaofeng said coldly: "Everyone's play, is it over?" Li Yuan said coldly: "Not yet. As long as the two of you don't want to leave the valley, we will continue acting like this." At this time, all the stone workers.They all quit their jobs.Slowly surrounded. Chu Xiaofeng looked cold and serious, and said: "Cheng Fang, kill me." Cheng Fang responded with his sword. Cold light flashed, blood splashed, and there was an instant sound.The two fell down. Cheng Fang's sword was too fast, and the two workers who were too fast had no time to raise their hammers to block it. But these two swords also produced a trick, I saw that they immediately moved around, forming a phalanx to resist the enemy. The formation is methodical, apparently after rigorous training. Cheng Fang sneered and said, "The fox finally showed its tail." Lifting his right hand, he thrust out another sword. The two hammers flew up at the same time. With a bang, the long sword was sealed. At the same time, the phalanx also began to rotate. Cheng Fang smiled and said, "So you are all veterans." With a wave of the long sword, he attacked forward. But seeing the cold light flowing, there was a sound of metal and iron clanging. Cheng Fang's sword moves quickly, and within a short while, he has already struck out forty or fifty swords. But he is still where he was. Although the martial arts skills of these workers are not very high, their movements are very fast, one person after another, hammer after hammer. Therefore, even after dozens of sword strikes, Cheng Fang was still unable to take a step forward, nor could he injure anyone. one person. Chu Xiaofeng frowned, and said, "Cheng Fang, back away." Cheng Fang retracted his sword and retreated. Chu Xiaofeng slowly pulled out his long sword, went up to meet him, and said coldly: "Listen. Your formation is good, but your martial arts level is low-level. I don't want to kill you. It's better for you." Get out of the way." At this moment, Li Yuanzhi stood in the center of the phalanx, and said sharply, "There are too many ants and they will kill the elephant. Even if you have three heads and six arms, you two may not be able to break through the phalanx." Chu Xiaofeng said: "Okay! Killing without teaching is called cruelty. Now, I have made it clear and refused to give way. Don't blame me for being ruthless." Lifting the lower right, he slashed through with a sword. Two hammers flew across, and with a bang, the sword was shaken away. Chu Xiaofeng said coldly: "It seems that Zhu Fang stopped crying when he saw the coffin." While speaking, the long sword has been retracted and attacked, and it has been attacked twelve times in a row.The twelve swords were struck almost in a row. Looking from afar.I saw light and shadow flickering. Four workers fell down, all of them broke their right wrists The orderly advance and retreat of the phalanx was also hindered by the injuries of these four people. Cheng Fang took the opportunity to swing his sword and attacked. The sword stroke stretched and stretched, stabbing five more people in a moment. The entire phalanx of blocking the enemy suddenly collapsed. Cheng Fang's sword was even more fierce, and in a short while, he injured more than ten people. About forty people were injured, about half of them were injured. This burst of fierce assassination not only killed the opponent's people, but also killed the courage of those people. the rest.All stopped, stepped aside, Chu Xiaofeng injured four of them, and after blocking the change of the opponent's formation, he didn't make any more moves. It's Cheng Fang's sword alone.Those workers who were killed were turned on their backs. Chu Xiaofeng said in a low voice: "Cheng Fang stop." Cheng Fang stopped his hands, held his sword flat on his chest, and moved forward first. Chu Xiaofeng had already sheathed his sword. Dozens of workers.Although he was still clinging to the weapon, no one dared to stop him. Chu Xiaofeng quickly entered the valley. There are only a dozen huts built in one place. The two sides of the mountain face each other.Behind is a forest. There are four or five huts in the corner, the doors and windows are half closed, and you can see a lot of stones piled up in the huts. Cheng Fang said in a low voice: "Young master, there seem to be stones in there." Chu Xiaofeng hummed, and walked straight to a hut. There seemed to be nothing in the room except piled stones. Cheng Fang took a closer look and said, "My lord, they are all stones." Chu Xiaofeng said: "Cheng Fang, if there are really stones in this hut, will they not hesitate to bleed to prevent us from coming in?" Cheng Fang said: "Yes, it seems that there are indeed some problems." Chu Xiaofeng said: "Look at each room." The two looked at six or seven rooms in a row, and they were all piled up with stones. Chu Xiaofeng secretly counted, there are a total of twelve rooms in this hut, and each room has unique doors and windows. If you just store stones, there is really no need to build it like this. Cheng Fang could feel it too. So, he didn't ask any more questions. The door of the eighth hut.It was tightly closed, and when Cheng Fang pushed it, he realized that the door was bolted from the inside. He couldn't help but cheer up. He didn't push the door again, but pushed open a window next to it. That window could easily be pushed open. Cheng Fang stretched his waist and jumped into the hut. There is a bed in the hut, and a person is sleeping on the bed. The man seemed to be fast asleep.Cheng Fang opened the window and jumped into the room.This person doesn't know yet. Cheng Fang ignored the man, but opened the wooden door first to guard against his sneak attack. Chu Xiaofeng walked in slowly. The person who sleeps in the bed.Still sound asleep. Chu Xiaofeng looked around.I found that in this place, besides a bed, there is also a table and two bamboo chairs. Taking a deep breath, Chu Xiaofeng said slowly, "Friend, you can get up now." The man remained silent. Chu Xiaofeng sneered, and said, "Cheng Fang, find a bowl of water and splash him awake." Water is right next to it. Cheng Fang picked up the ladle and poured a full ladle of water over it. The one who fell asleep.Still didn't move. This person's composure has really reached the state where Mount Tai collapses in front of him without being dazzled. There are only two kinds of such calm people: those who cannot move by themselves, or those who are dead. The person on the bed is already dead. Cheng Fang pulled Na's body, only to see that his face was pale and his body was stiff, as if he had been dead for many days. Cheng Fang said: "Young master, he is a dead man!" Chu Xiaofeng said: "He knew that he must die, so he ran back, and my husband came to lie on the bed." Cheng Fang said, "This situation doesn't make sense," Chu Xiaofeng sneered, and said, "Go to the next room and have a look." The ninth hut is also closed. Cheng Fang didn't hesitate any longer, and kicked the wooden door with a flying kick. The wooden door was knocked open. There was also a bed inside, and a person was also lying there. Half of the body is covered with a quilt, facing inwards, the same as in the first hut, even the sleeping posture is the same. Cheng Fang said, "Hmph! Another dead man." Reach out and grab someone. Chu Xiaofeng said in a low voice: "Cheng Fang is careful," Cheng Fang withdrew his hand, unsheathed his long sword, and turned over the man. It was Shi Qi, who was indeed dead. On his chest, there is a white note that says the traitor dies. Chu Xiaofeng's heart shook, and he thought: "There are still three thatched huts. Could it be that the green lotus, yellow plum, and red peony have also been murdered?" He hurriedly said: "Cheng Fang, hurry up! Go to the room below and have a look." The tenth hut also has a bed.But no one was lying down, and a person sat cross-legged on the bed. And it's a woman. Wearing a bright red auspicious suit, full of pearls and emeralds, jade flowers, dressed like a bride. But there was a white cloth covering his head, and the white cloth hung down his face. The bright red auspicious clothes, paired with a piece of white cloth, are not harmonious no matter how you look at them. Chu Xiaofeng's heart shook, and he said, "Cheng Fang, take off the white cloth on her face." Cheng Fang: Responding to the sound, he unleashed his sword and picked off the white cloth on the woman's face. But her head, hanging too low to see her face clearly, looks like a dead person too. Chu Xiaofeng was taken aback, and said: "Cheng Fang, take a closer look, is she dead or alive?" Cheng Fang was very careful. He stretched out the long sword in his right hand until it touched the woman's chin. With force on the sword, he raised her head. Pale face, closed eyes. Putting down the sword, he let out a sigh of relief, and said, "My lord, this person is probably already dead." Chu Xiaofeng said: "Cheng Fang, do you think she looks like Lu He?" Cheng Fang was stunned when he heard this, and said, "Miss Luhe?" Chu Xiaofeng said: "I mean, any one of them." Cheng Fang said: "Just now, the little one didn't see clearly, I'll take a closer look now." He stretched out his hand towards the chin of the woman in red. The woman in red raised her hands silently. There were two slight sounds of machine springs, Cheng Fang and Chu Xiaofeng cried out at the same time. The woman in red made a sudden move, sending out tiny poisonous needles like lightning, Chu Xiaofeng crouched down hugging her belly in response. Cheng Fang was so close that he couldn't avoid it. The woman in red touched Cheng Fang's acupuncture points with one hand, and Chu Xiaofeng's acupuncture points with the other. She jumped up and flew off the wooden couch, giggled and said: "You two are as wicked as ghosts, you also want to drink my mother's footwashing water." They raised their hands and clapped each other, saying, "Come out!" The hay piled up on the bed parted, and two maidservants rushed out. The woman in red had already taken off her scarlet auspicious clothes, revealing a light green dress, she smiled and said, "Chunhua and Qiuyue, tie them up for me." The two maids had already prepared ropes and tied them tightly. The well-dressed woman wiped off the white powder on her face with a damp cloth, revealing a pretty face. Looking at Chu Xiaofeng, he smiled and said, "Young man, are you the owner of Yingyue Villa?" Chu Xiaofeng said: "That's right, it's just a mere thing, the girl is..." The woman in Tsing Yi said: "Me, you can call me Mrs. Xiang or Ba Gu, you can call me whatever you want!" Chu Xiaofeng said: "Madam Xiang? Is that the wife of the owner of Baihua Village?" Mrs. Xiang smiled and said, "I heard that you killed the idiot?" Chu Xiaofeng said: "We didn't kill him, but Madam left behind the poison." Mrs. Xiang said, "Did he die of poison?" Chu Xiaofeng said: "Probably Madam's order is very strict, he seems to dare not die." Mrs. Xiang smiled and said, "It's not too shameful, and I've been with him for a few years." Chu Xiaofeng said: "Actually, he is only a puppet, and Madam is the real person in charge?" Mrs. Xiang said: "That's right, but it's a pity that you understand later." Chu Xiaofeng said: "Madam set up suspicious formations in the two thatched huts in front, making us careless and being taken advantage of, this point is very clever." Mrs. Xiang said: "Praise, praise, my little design isn't too bad, is it?" Chu Xiaofeng said: "Madam, there are still a few points that I don't understand, please guide me." Mrs. Xiang said: "It's easy to say, because of your handsome taste, please tell me?" Chu Xiaofeng said: "Madam has been in charge of Baihuazhuang for many years?" Mrs. Xiang said: "Not too much, about five years!" Chu Xiaofeng said: "I don't think this Baihuazhuang is a very independent organization." Mrs. Xiang smiled and said: "My handsome and unrestrained Mr. Chu, even if I have a heart of pity and pity, I can't make the decision. I will not take you away alive. I will kill you and take your body with me." The corpse left here, you are dying, why do you still need to know so many things?" Chu Xiaofeng said: "It is precisely because I am going to die that I hope to die in peace." Mrs. Xiang smiled and said, "Young Master Chu, won't you make some other requests?" Chu Xiaofeng said: "Others?" Mrs. Xiang said: "Yes! For example, do you want to eat something, or do you want to try something?" Chu Xiaofeng said: "Are you here!..." His eyes were fixed on Mrs. Xiang's face. There is an indescribable feeling in his eyes. Mrs. Xiang waved her hand suddenly and said, "Chunhua, Qiuyue, carry that person out for me." Chunhua leaned over, picked up Chengfang and walked out. Qiuyue walked behind and closed the door behind her. After straightening out the hair on her temples, Mrs. Xiang tried her best to make a seductive pose.Said: "Chu Gongyu, there are only two of us in the room, what are you thinking? But the mansion said it categorically." Chu Xiaofeng said: "Say it, so what?" Mrs. Xiang stretched out a pair of white jade hands, and hugged Chu Xiaofeng very gently.放在木榻上，笑一笑，道：“毒针伤在哪里，要不要我替你起出来？” 楚小枫道：“针上既然有毒，就算你起出了毒针，我也是难免要毒发而死。” 项夫人微微一笑，道：“天下的毒药，都有解药。” 楚小枫道：“夫人有解毒之药，那就快给我吃一粒。” 项夫人道：“你的功力相当深厚，中了毒针，还能说这样多话。” 楚小枫道：“我如不说话，可以运气把毒性逼住，但我说了这样多的话，只怕毒性早已散开。” 项夫人道：“幸好，我有解毒的药物。” 楚小枫道：“可惜的是，解了毒，还得死。” 项夫人垂下头去，在楚小枫脸上亲了两下，道：“冤家，我心中有些害怕，我如解去了你身上的绳索，给了你解毒药物，会是一个什么样子的后果？” 楚小枫道：“最后，你还不是要杀了我，带着我的尸体离去。” 项夫人道：“放了你，我就很难再有捆起你的机会了。” 她脸上泛起的情欲之火，渐渐的退了下去。 毕竟性命，还是比情欲重。 楚小枫突然一振双臂，身上的绳索断裂，右手一探，扣住了项夫人的脉门。 项夫人呆了一呆，道：“你，没有中毒针？” 楚小枫道：“我如中了毒针，怎么还能和你谈这么多的话？” 项夫人道：“也没有被点中穴道？” 楚小枫道：“可惜，你给了很多的时间。使我已自行运气冲开了穴道。” 项夫人道：“唉！我刚才就该一刀杀化了你。” 楚小枫道：“很可惜的是，你错过了这个机会。” 项夫人道：“你这个骗人感情的下流坯……” 楚小枫冷冷接道：“夫人，别太忘形，我也会杀人。” 一面五指加力，项夫人顿然感觉到右手骨疼如裂，只好住口。 楚小枫道：“夫人，答复在下几句活，我会饶你不死。” 项夫人道：“我知道的不多，你问的，只怕我未必能够回答。” 楚小枫道：“你知道多少，就说多少。” 项夫人道：“我说出来了，对我有什么好处？” 楚小枫道：“可以饶你不死，只要你说的是实话，我就饶你不死，我放了石七，可以证实我说的话，一定负责。” 项夫人道：“我相信你说的话，不过，我想要一点保障。” 楚小枫道：“什么样的保障？” 项夫人道：“说说看，你对我如何安排？” 楚小枫道：“放了你，随便你海阔天空。”项夫人道：“不！我提一个条件，不知你肯不肯答应？” 楚小枫道：“答应……” 项夫人接道：“别答应得太快，要知道，我这个条件，很难完成？” 楚小枫道：“怎么说？” 项夫人道：“我要你陪陪我，然后，我会告诉你，我所知道的隐秘，至于你如何处置我，我就不计较了。” 楚小枫心中明白了，但却呆在当地，说不出一句话来，沉吟了一阵。道：“在下不是在陪夫人么？” 项夫人道：“不是这种陪法。” 楚小枫明知故问，道：“那要怎么样一个陪法？” 项夫人道：“看你这样聪明的人，难道还真的不明白么？不过是明知故问，想窘我罢了。其实，我既敢开口了，为什么不敢说清楚呢？” 楚小枫道：“在下实在是不太清楚。” 项夫人道：“肌肤相亲，这四个字，你该懂吧？” 楚小枫道：“我懂。” 项夫人道：“懂了就好。” 楚小枫缓缓站起身子，笑道：“夫人，这要求太过分了。” 项夫人道：“你想不想知道我们这个组合的秘密？” 楚小枫道：“你知道的很多？” 项夫人笑一笑，道：“我的年纪不算太大，但我在这个组合中的资历，却是不浅，不妨告诉你我过去的身份，你心中就会有个数了。” 楚小枫道：“夫人指教。” 项夫人道：“我们这个组合的真正首脑，有两位夫人，我是二夫人身边的丫头，你想想看，我知道了多少隐秘。” 楚小枫哦了一声，道：“原来如此。” 项夫人道：“我从丫头，升到了主持一方的首脑人物，你说说看，我是不是很受宠爱。” 楚小枫道：“这么说来，你是真的知道很多隐秘了。” 项夫人道：“不大多，十之五六总是有的。” 楚小枫道：“夫人，不是骗我吧？” 项夫人道：“我为什么要骗你，其实，男女之间的事，还不是我们女人吃亏。” 楚小枫笑一笑，接道：“那要看什么样的女人了。” 项夫人道：“楚小枫，别把我看成个太坏、太浮的女人，我虽然不是什么贞烈妇人，可也不是很随便的人。” 楚小枫道：“至少，夫人不是从一而终的女人。” 项夫人忽然间流下泪来，缓缓说道：“我不是，我十六岁那一年，被主人夺去了清白，然后，主持百花庄，刚才，你已见过了，那位项庄主，就是我的丈夫，不论如何，他是我的丈夫，名义上我总陪着，那就是我经历的第二个男人。” 楚小枫道：“这个男人，是你自己选的吧？” 项夫人摇摇头，道：“不是。第一个强暴了我，第二个，也是主人指定的，就这样，我活了这么多年，楚小枫，我从来没有得到过一个自己喜欢的男人。” 楚小枫道：“贵门中人很多，夫人既是一方主脑，为什么不找几个自己喜爱的人？” 项夫人苦笑一下，道：“也许是我眼光太高了，也许是我对男人有着一种莫名的憎恨，所以，我一直没有看上一个人，很奇怪的，见了你，我……” 楚小枫接道：“夫人，咱们之间，能不能换个条件谈谈。” 项夫人道：“不能。” 楚小枫道：“为什么？” 项夫人道：“不论我告诉你多少事，就算是只说一句，我也无法活下去。” 楚小枫道：“不说内情，我也一样要杀你。” 项夫人道：“所以，我是死定了，临死之前，我要找一个自己喜欢的男人陪陪我，不算是太过分吧！” 楚小枫呆住了。 这实在不算是很过分，一个人用生命作代价，换得了春宵一夜，这代价是不是很高呢？ 楚小枫沉吟不语。 项夫人道：“楚公子，你可以杀了我，我也可以随时自绝而死，所以，你如想用恶毒手法，逼我说些什么？只怕是一件很为难的事。” 楚小枫道：“夫人，我想知道一点纲领，在你而言，是一种要求，但在我而言，是一种牺牲，所以，我想知道代价。” 项夫人沉吟了一阵。道：“万知子，春秋笔，这是武林中两大隐秘，这代价够大吧？” 楚小枫心头震动一下，道：“你们这个组合，和这两位绝代奇人何关？” 项夫人道：“关系很大，而且当今之世，知道这稳秘的人也不多。” 楚小枫道：“你知道？” 项夫人道：“知道一些，虽然不是全部，但对你而言，那已经很够了。” 楚小枫道：“看来，在下被你说服了。” 项夫人道：“告诉你一点隐秘，天下就没有我立足之地了，我只是在死亡之前，尝试一下和一个自己喜爱的男人，在一起有多快乐罢了。” 楚小枫顿时陷入了一片迷乱、傍徨之境。 他不知道应该如何处理自己，不知道是否答应她的要求。 项夫人不再催促，只是静静的望着楚小枫，双目中情欲闪动，脸上是一片企求之色。 楚小枫轻轻吁一口气，道：“夫人，如若在下答应了，我又怎知能确定听到这些隐秘，” 项夫人道：“肌肤相亲，枕边细语，我会告诉全部内情。” 楚小枫道：“就在这里么？” 项夫人道：“你害怕？” 楚小枫道：“室外有两个丫头，和我一个受了伤的从人，而外面，还有你不少的属下，在下实是提不起这股劲头。” 伸手拍活了项夫人身上穴道，接道：“夫人，我看咱们这笔交易缓一缓……” 项夫人坐了起来，接道：“缓一缓，怎么一个缓法？” 楚小枫道：“夫人不妨先和在下走在一起，贵组合中人，如是一定要杀你，必须先对付了在下和我的从属。” 项夫人道：“哦！你要找一个环境清幽的地方，再……” 楚小枫接道：“这种事，岂可草草，必得在心神两畅的地方，促膝谈心，由情生爱。” 项夫人眨动了一下双目，道：“这要多久时间？” 楚小枫道：“这个很难说了，也许三五日，也许十天半月……” 项夫人接道：“咱们就以半个月为期，如何？” 楚小枫道：“好，一言为定。” 项夫人微微一笑，道：“楚公子，话可要先说明白，咱们一天没有肌肤之亲，我就不会说出内情来的。” 楚小枫点点头。 项夫人道：“在这十五天中，你可要好好保护我，他们会想到我知道的隐秘不少，必将千方百计的杀死我，一旦我死了，你就永远找不到像我知晓这样多隐密的人。” 楚小枫道：“我明白。” 项夫人放低了声音，道：“你真的很信任我了？” 楚小枫道：“在下相信夫人说的俱是实言。” 项夫人叹息一声，道：“我作丫头时的名字，叫小红，以后别再叫我项夫人。” 楚小枫道：“小红姑娘。” 小红微微一笑，道：“我先表现出对你的信任。” 楚小枫道：“好！在下拭目以待。” 理一理头上乱发，小红提高了声音，说道：“春花、秋月何在？” 两个女婢应声而入。 小红道：“那小子伤势如何？” 春花道：“奇毒发作，人已经昏了过去。” 小红道：“抱他进来。” 秋月应了一声，抱着成方而入。 小红道：“把人放在床上，过来，我有话告诉你们。” 春花、秋月相互望了一眼，满脸疑惑之色，行近小红身侧。 小红低声道：“那位楚公子不好对付……” 愈说声音愈低，两个女婢不得不伸出头，附耳去听。 小红突然双掌并出，拍在二女的背心之上。 她早有准备，二女却是骤不及防，立时被震断心脉，吐血而死。 楚小枫暗暗叹息上声，忖道：“这丫头好恶毒的手段，二女都是她贴身之婢，竟然下得如此毒手。” 只见小红苦笑一下道：“这两个丫头，名虽女婢，事实上，却有监视我的用心，不得不除了她们。” 楚小枫点点头。 小红取出一片磁铁，吸出成方身上毒针，然后，又让成方服下一粒丹丸，才拍活成方穴道。 对症之药，见效神速，成方一挺身坐了起来。 小红笑一笑，道：“这位小兄弟，你觉着怎么样？” 成方双目盯注在小红的脸上，冷冷的说道：“你为什么要救我？” 小红一指楚小枫，道：“为了他。” 成方望望春花、秋月的尸体，又望望楚小枫。 楚小枫点点头。 成方缓缓行下木榻，深深吸一口气。 小红笑一笑，道：“毒针已经起出，毒性已解，只要好好的坐息一下，很快就复原了。” 楚小枫道：“小红姑娘，你好像不至只带这两位女婢吧？” 小红道：“我带了很多的人手，其余的人，都在后面山壁间一个石洞中。” 楚小枫道：“那里有多少人？” 小红道：“十九个。”
