Chapter 14 Chapter Fourteen

Zhang Yu didn't sleep all this time, his heart was full of resentment. In front of Di Qing, although he was laughing and joking as usual, he was not happy living in the frontier.He will only share his happiness with his friends, and will not mention his displeasure to his friends. Di Qing looks much better, Zhang Yu is very happy for Di Qing, but when will his useless days come to an end? Jinming Village, a fortress of copper and iron!But to Zhang Yu, Jin Mingzhai was like an iron cage, and he was really depressed in it. "Bang bang!" Someone knocked on the door. Zhang Yu was a little surprised, wondering who would come to him so late?But for some reason, Zhang Yu felt uneasy in his heart, touched the saber, walked slowly to the door, and opened the door.

Under the dim light, Li Yuheng's pale face was illuminated. "Yu Heng, is that you?" Zhang Yu was surprised, but also pleased. He and Li Yuheng were friends after all.It's nice to have a friend to chat with on this cold snowy night.Ever since he came back from seeing Di Qing, he has been thinking about talking to Li Yuheng. They are friends, shouldn't friends be more tolerant? Li Yuheng just said "um", with complex meanings in his eyes. Zhang Yu didn't pay attention to Li Yuheng's strange behavior, and waited for him to enter the room, when he suddenly found two people behind Li Yuheng.One of those two was Hu Chai, the deputy commander of Anfeng Village, and the other was Li Huaibao's subordinate, Shangguan Yan.

Zhang Yu took a step back, Li Yuheng, Hu Xie and Shangguan Yan had squeezed in.Zhang Yu frowned, and couldn't help but took another step back. For some reason, his heart felt a little chilly. He had this feeling when he was in danger in the Cao Mansion. But at that time, Di Qing was standing side by side with him, and now... Li Yuheng was facing him face to face. Zhang Yu could still maintain his composure and asked, "Yu Heng, what's the matter?" He saw that Li Yuheng was holding a leather pouch in his hand, and he didn't know what was inside. "Li Huaibao humiliated you today." Li Yuheng said expressionlessly.

Zhang Yu frowned, and said after a while, "So what?" Li Yuheng's mood suddenly became a little irritable, and he shouted: "You are my brother, he humiliated you, he just didn't give our brothers face." Excitement suddenly surged in Zhang Yu's heart, he really couldn't believe that Li Yuheng could still say this kind of words.But then Li Yuheng's words shocked Zhang Yu on the spot. "I killed Li Huaibao!" Zhang Yu's complexion changed slightly, and he couldn't help but glance at Hu Xie and Shangguan Yan.The two were indifferent as if they were watching a play.Zhang Yu felt that something was wrong, but for a while he didn't know where the problem was.

How could these three be together? "You don't believe it?" Li Yuheng saw that Zhang Yu was silent, and the corner of his mouth was somewhat mocking. Zhang Yu thought about it, and said after a while, "Do you know the consequences of killing him?" Li Yuheng's voice trembled slightly, and he suddenly said excitedly: "I don't care what the consequences are! I know you don't believe me, but I'll just kill him!" He stretched out his hand and threw the skin bag on the ground. A human head rolled out of the skin, bloody and bloody.Zhang Yu couldn't help but look down, and vaguely recognized that it was Li Huaibao's head, he was startled and nauseated.

Although he hated Li Huaibao, he never thought that Mr. Li, who was still domineering during the day, would die like this. Feeling slightly at a loss, Zhang Yu didn't believe that Li Yuheng would have the courage to kill Li Huaibao, let alone that Li Yuheng killed Li Huaibao for Zhang Yu. But Li Huaibao is indeed dead, why? At this moment, Zhang Yu heard the sound of "choking", and his vigilance rose sharply, and he rolled over while screaming.Although he dodged quickly, the saber strike was still too sudden. Blood splatter! Before Zhang Yu had time to look at the slashed left arm, he drew the saber with his backhand, lay it across his chest, and said in a low voice, "Li Yuheng, are you crazy?"

The person who cut out the knife was Li Yuheng! After Zhang Yu was injured, the shock was more terrifying, and the sadness was more than anger.Although he knew that Li Yuheng was cowardly, he never dreamed that one day, this brother from back then would strike him with a knife! Blood dripped down the blade to the ground, making a very slight sound.The oil lamps in the house are bright and dark, and the dim light is full of coldness.Li Yuheng looked like he was going to make a knife, but being captured by Zhang Yu's power, his face showed timidity, and he hesitated. There was only a moment of silence in the room, then Shangguan Yan suddenly smiled and said: "He's not crazy, he's just smart."

Looking at the three people opposite, Zhang Yu's heart sank. Although he didn't know the reason, he knew that the three people in front of him were going to take his life. He has no way out. "Why?" Zhang Yu burst out a few words between his teeth. Although he vaguely guessed something in his heart, the idea was so shocking that he couldn't even imagine it. Shangguan Yan sighed softly, and said relaxedly: "Don't you know? You are not the only one who will be killed this time. Most of the commanders of the thirty-sixth branch of Jinming Village will die."

Zhang Yu was startled and said, "If you want to take Jinming Village, how many of you are the only ones?" Shangguan Yan smiled faintly, "If you are smart, you shouldn't have asked such a question. In the past year, thanks to your generous release from Mr. Fan, Jinmingzhai has mixed thousands of our warriors and more than ten thousand Qiang people with different intentions. What's more, there will be outside the village soon..." He suddenly stopped talking, and said slowly: "Zhang Yu, if the three of us make a move, you will have no chance of survival. Do you know why I haven't made a move yet?"

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Shangguan Yan wants to say that there will be an army of party members outside the village soon? How is this possible? What is the origin of this Shangguan Yan? I only knew that this person took refuge in Li Huaibao not long ago, and he got it Li Huaibao's trust. Seeing him so cold today, he is definitely not an ordinary person." Unwilling to let go, he frowned, shook his head and said, "Why haven't you made a move yet?" "People who are useful don't need to die." Shangguan Yan said lightly: "Li Yuheng is useful, so we won't kill him. We know that you and Di Qing have a good relationship, and we wanted to keep you, but Li Yuheng said, you are tough , won’t surrender, it’s best to kill you.”

Zhang Yu stared at Li Yuheng, and said with a cold smile: "Li Yuheng, you know me so well, you really deserve to be my good brother!" Li Yuheng was ashamed, and when he heard the words, he suddenly said angrily: "Yes, I wanted to kill you, so what? I know you look down on me. After the Cao Mansion incident, you have always looked down on me. I have endured you for a long time Yes. They said, I can only live by killing you, and I have one life, and your death is better than mine." Zhang Yu's eyes were piercing, and he said sharply: "Li Yuheng, are you a human being? Can you say such things? You are afraid of death. I do look down on you, but I can forgive you. But today you are doing it for yourself. Want to kill me? Kill your brother?" Zhang Yu suddenly smiled, his smile was full of misery, "I was wrong, maybe you didn't treat me and Di Qing as brothers from the beginning to the end!" Li Yuheng held the single saber tightly, trembling all over, and there was deep sorrow in his eyes. Shangguan Yan mocked: "It doesn't matter if you are a brother or not, the most important thing is to survive." "The price of my life is to rely on you, like Li Yuheng, to murder Di Qing?" Zhang Yu already understood Shangguan Yan's intention. Shangguan Yan smiled, "You finally said something wise. I think you are a smart person, and you should know how to choose." He hesitated confidently, looking at Zhang Yu like a cat playing with a mouse. Shangguan Yan has been hiding his secrets, confident that even if he fights alone, Zhang Yu is far from his opponent.So he gave Zhang Yu a choice, he likes to control the fate of others from above. He has already made a choice for Zhang Yu. Zhang Yu also smiled, his smile was like a bright moon, "You're wrong, I'm a fool." As soon as he finished speaking, he straightened his body and slashed towards Li Yuheng. Rebellion and surrender between life and death. Zhang Yu chose to use the knife without hesitation. Knowing that death is inevitable, Zhang Yu has this temper.He can bear death, but he can't bear betrayal, so he stabbed Li Yuheng. Li Yuheng must be killed! The pain of life and death is nothing compared to betrayal. There was pain in Zhang Yu's eyes, but there was no mercy when the knife was used. "Swipe, swipe, swipe" three times in a row, the knife is fierce.Li Yuheng dodged sharply, and in a flash he came to Shangguan Yan's side, hissing: "Save me! You have to save me!" Li Yuheng was timid, no matter how good a cowardly person's martial arts are, when he encountered desperate situations, his aura would weaken a bit.What's more, Li Yuheng's martial arts skills are inferior to Zhang Yu's. Hu Xie was ready to make a move. He has always been dissatisfied that he is only a second-in-command, and he hopes to take this opportunity to stand up.Of course, after this time, he is going to serve with party members.He knew that Shangguan Yan was a master among the party members, so he always had Shangguan Yan as his leader. Zhang Yu drew his saber, but Shangguan Yan didn't move, so Hu Chi hesitated a bit. In an instant, Li Yuheng was in a panic.Hu Xie was about to draw his sword, but with a sound of "choke", Shangguan Yan had already drawn his sword. A sword of light and cold pierced Li Yuheng's side, and pierced Zhang Yu's left shoulder. Shangguan Yan had a very good chance of using his sword. It was already seen that Zhang Yu chased and killed Li Yuheng out of grief and anger, but his sword technique was flawed.Shangguan Yan aimed at this opening and struck with a single strike. Hu Xie immediately guarded the door to prevent Zhang Yu from being injured and fleeing for his life. He saw that the battle was settled and Zhang Yu was definitely not Shangguan Yan's opponent. Shangguan Yan was about to draw his sword back. After two "chi" and "cha", Hu Xie's face changed drastically. One knife pierced Shangguan Yan's lower abdomen, and the other cut Li Yuheng's shoulder blade. While Shangguan Yan yelled, an unbelievable expression appeared on his face, and while he roared, he hit Li Yuheng's chest with an elbow, and with a "crack", Li Yuheng's breastbone was broken.Shangguan Yan's long sword turned sharply, and stabbed Li Yuheng's right chest with a backhand. Shangguan Yan never expected that Li Yuheng, who was always cowardly, would actually stab him.Is this Li Yuheng really crazy? Shangguan Yan was furious and fought back desperately. Li Yuheng's chest collapsed, and with a muffled groan, blood spewed out, but the moment the sword entered his chest, he didn't dodge, he fit him and rushed over, hugged Shangguan Yan, and bit him on the throat. Zhang Yu was already stunned, he succeeded in cutting Li Yuheng's shoulder blade, and he could even feel the soreness and pleasure of the blade sharpening the bone. But all the feelings were immediately replaced by pain in the heart. Li Yuheng severely injured Shangguan Yan, but he was stabbed by Zhang Yu?Is Li Yuheng a false surrender?He, Zhang Yu, wrongly blamed his brother? Thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning, and Zhang Yu's hands were trembling. At this moment, amidst Shangguan Yan's explosive roar, Li Yuheng's five sense organs were bleeding, and he fell down on his back.There was blood in Shangguan Yan's throat and his lower abdomen was pierced. After using all his strength to break free from Li Yuheng, his mind felt dizzy and his eyes turned black. Before he could wake up, Shangguan Yan's neck became cold, and Shangguan Yan's expression suddenly became very strange, his body swayed, and he was already limp to the ground. Before he died, he still didn't believe that he was defeated by Zhang Yu and Li Yuheng. Zhang Yu slashed at Shangguan Yan's neck, and shouted: "Yu Heng." He stretched out his hand to support Li Yu Heng's body that was about to fall, his heart felt like a needle prick, and his voice was howling like a wolf. Hu Chi turned around and ran away, and disappeared after a while.He was terrified, and he really didn't dare to fight with such a person again. Zhang Yu didn't pay attention to Hu Xie at all, but hugged Li Yuheng tightly, his eyes were red, and hissed: "Why, why did you do this?" He felt that his hands were still stained with Li Yuheng's blood, and remembered that he was the one who cut the blood from Li Yuheng's shoulder blade.Zhang Yu was so regretful that he swung his knife and chopped off his arm. Li Yuheng said weakly, "Don't..." Although the voice was weak, it rang in Zhang Yu's ears like thunder. Li Yuheng is not dead yet. Zhang Yu said urgently: "Yu Heng, hold on, I'll find someone...to save you." Seeing Li Yuheng coughing suddenly, with mouthfuls of blood pouring out, he couldn't help the tears welling up in his eyes, he had already seen that Li Yuheng couldn't do it up. Li Yuheng smiled shyly, and said softly: "No... use... Zhang Yu, Shangguan Yan... yes... yes... Yasha." Zhang Yu didn't care about being startled, seeing that Li Yuheng was bleeding uncontrollably, he said sadly, "I've already killed him." There was a faint smile on the corner of Li Yuheng's mouth, "He... is amazing..." Lightning flashed in Zhang Yu's mind, and he hissed: "You know my temper, you know that I will definitely go all out, and you know that I can't beat him, so you swindled his trust by swindling him, and then killed him for me? I'm so stupid, You put all your heart into me, and I cut you down." At that moment, he wished he could die. He always felt that Li Yuheng was not loyal enough, and he always misunderstood Li Yuheng.His heart felt like a knife was twisted, he regretted it too much, and also hated himself, if he really regarded Li Yuheng as a brother, he would never cut such a knife! "I don't blame...you." Li Yuheng's eyes gradually faded, and he murmured, "I don't even believe...that I... still have courage, let alone you? The Jinming Village is over..." He suddenly squeezed Zhang Yu's hand Holding his hand, he cheered up and said, "Zhang Yu, promise... me!" "You tell me what you want me to do." Zhang Yu wept. "Go to Yanzhou...to report the letter. Find Di Qing...to avenge me!" Li Yuheng said to himself: "You have to do it." Zhang Yu has come to understand, Li Yuheng really knows him too well.Li Yuheng was afraid that he would feel ashamed and even die, so he asked him to do something. Seeing Li Yuheng's breathing getting weaker and weaker, Zhang Yuheng burst into tears, and just said: "Yuheng, I will do it, you believe me! You... hold on..." He suddenly realized that he was hypocritical, but at this moment, What else can I say? Li Yuheng moved his lips, and said in a low voice: "We...we..." His voice was too low, Zhang Yu put his ear to it and shouted: "What else do you want to say?" Zhang Yu only thought that Li Yuheng had something else on his mind It's over, I've made up my mind to do it for him. Li Yuheng said in a low voice: "We... have always been... brothers... right?" "Yes, yes!" Zhang Yu replied incessantly, completely oblivious to the raging fire, which had rolled around him.Zhang Yu suddenly felt his arms sinking, and Zhang Yu's heart went cold. Li Yuheng's head drooped feebly, but there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth. Brother, we have always been brothers! He died laughing, did he think that before he died, he would have no regrets and no complaints after receiving this acknowledgment? Zhang Yu wept like rain. He wanted to scream, to repent, to say sorry to Li Yuheng, but he had no chance. The tears fell on the blood-stained face, mixed together, sad like snow, full of silence. Suddenly, the roof collapsed, and a ball of fire fell down, surrounding Zhang Yutuan.At some point, Jinming Village was engulfed in flames. The fire became brighter and brighter, burning the snow in the sky.The snow is burning, weeping with the wind, pouring sad tears all over the place. The fiery snake danced wildly, melting tears and swallowing blood. The sound of fighting in Jinming Village was loud, but Zhang Yu had already rushed out of Jinming Village. He was wounded in dozens of places, but he was not dead yet. There was noise and slaughter everywhere. The Jinming Village, which was originally like a fortress of copper and iron, has become riddled with holes. Li Huaibao died, but Li Shibin never appeared. Xia Shouyun and Xia Sui also didn't come out to command, Jinming village was divided into thirty-six villages, the dragons had no leader, and they were in a mess. Jinming Village is over. After this thought flashed through Zhang Yu's mind, he grabbed a horse and rushed all the way to the south.He didn't know how he arrived in Yanzhou, and he didn't know how he met Fan Yong. The moment he saw Fan Yong, Zhang Yu said sadly: "Fan Zhizhou, Jinmingzhai has fallen, and Yanzhou is in danger." Fan Yong was shocked and lost his sense of control for a while.The party members attacked the northwest again, which really surprised Old Master Fan.But last year when the northwest was attacked, under Xia Shouyun's defense, the Dangxiang army finally retreated.This year, when he learned that the Dangxiang Army was dispatching troops, Fan Yong immediately approached Xia Shouyun. Xia Shouyun made another arrangement, and ordered Liu Ping and Shi Yuansun to lead troops to rush to Tumen for rescue to prevent the party members from invading from there. line.Xia Shouyun was afraid that something would happen to Jinming Village, so he went to Jinming Village with Xia Sui to guard the northern border of Yanzhou. Seeing Xia Shouyun working so hard, Fan Yong was moved.I thought it was safe this time, and I was enjoying the singing and dancing in the Zhizhou Prefecture with peace of mind, but I didn't want Jinming Village to be breached? Once Jinming Village is lost, the northern gate of Yanzhou is wide open. In the city of Yanzhou, there are less than a thousand defenders. If the Dangxiang army attacks, how can Yanzhou be defended? What exactly are Xia Shouyun and Li Shibin doing?Where did so many party troops come from? Fan Yong didn't think too much about it, and immediately sent an order, "Urgently summon Liu Ping, Shi Yuansun and other departments to return to rescue Yanzhou." Fan Yong didn't deploy all of them, but Xia Shouyun was absent, so he could only reluctantly do all the deployments. He no longer cared about the Tumen and the Security Army, and now protecting Yanzhou to death is the most important thing in the Northwest! Zhang Yu listened to Fan Yong dispatching troops, his expression was dull, and he just thought, "Yu Heng asked me to report to Yanzhou, and then find Di Qing. But where is Di Qing now...?" Di Qing is in Pingyuan Village. Just after Zhang Yu was sent away, Di Qing received the news that the party members sent troops out of Helanyuan again, marched on Hengshan Mountain, and invaded the Song Dynasty. The Security Army is in a hurry, and the Tumen is in a hurry!The Northwest is fighting again, and the military situation is urgent! The flowers are similar every year, but different every year. Di Qing did not go to the security forces to support this time, but received the task of supporting the forts around Tumen.Because Qingjian City is closer to Tumen. Of course, this closeness is relative.It is three hundred miles from Qingjian City to Tumen.However, Qingjian City is only 300 li away from the Security Army. On the day when Fan Yong's military order was received, Di Qing had already left Liao Feng, Lu Dahai and Zhong Shiheng to guard Qingjian City, and he took Ge Zhenyuan, Sima Buqun, and hundreds of soldiers to Pingyuan Village for rescue. Pingyuan Village stands on the mountain, and together with Saimen Village, they serve as the barrier of Tumen, blocking the main way for the party members to enter the Song Dynasty. When Di Qing arrived in Pingyuan, it was already dark.The crowd marched all the way, without any danger, and even arrived at Pingyuan Zhaidong without a fight. Di Qing was surprised, thinking to himself that according to the military situation, the party members came out from Hengshan, trying to rush in through the Tumen.It goes without saying that Pingyuan and Saimen, the heavy villages to which Tumen belonged, must have been severely attacked.But right now, Pingyuan Village is as calm as death, and there is no sign of an army coming to attack. Could it be that the attack by the Dangxiang army is just a bluff? The gate of the village was closed tightly, and the snowy night was full of murderous aura.Di Qing was confused, and shouted in front of the stronghold: "Di Qing, the commander of Qingjian City, was ordered to come to support, please see Wang Dujian." The guard of Pingyuan Village is called Wang Jiyuan, who was originally the military and horse commander of Yanzhou. In terms of official position, he is still above Di Qing. After Di Qing shouted, the village fell silent. For some reason, Di Qing felt uneasy.Ge Zhenyuan shouted again loudly, this time on the high platform inside the gate of the village, someone shouted loudly: "Can you trust me?" Di Qing immediately said: "Fan Zhizhou's military order is the proof!" Seeing that the other party was cautious, he took it for granted.Right now the bandits are invading the country, so it's always good to be careful. A bamboo basket was lowered with a rope from the high platform, and the man shouted: "Please put the military order into the basket, and after verifying the authenticity, let you enter the village." General Di Qing put it into the bamboo basket, and Ge Zhenyuan was a little dissatisfied: "We have worked so hard to get here, and they are guarding us like thieves!" Di Qing frowned slightly, and said: "Pingyuan is an important place, it's always good for them to be more cautious." After a while, the people in the village checked the military order and raised their voices: "As expected, it is Commander Di, quickly open the gate of the village and welcome the commander to come in." The gate of the village opened "creakingly", and five or six soldiers came out to welcome them.The leader clasped his fists and said: "Commander Di, in Xia Zuoqiu, I have admired Commander Di's name for a long time, but I never expected to be lucky enough to meet you today. I am also a commander, but my commander is far inferior to Commander Di. "After that, he laughed loudly, with a very friendly expression on his face. Di Qing smiled and said, "Commander Zuo is too modest. I don't know where Wang Dujian is now?" Zuoqiu smiled and said: "The military situation is urgent, and Wang Dujian has been patrolling the west of the Zhai. The east of the Zhai is finally relatively peaceful, so I will leave it to my incompetent commander to guard it." Turning to the soldiers beside him, he said: "Everyone is stunned. What are you going to do, come over and see Commander Di." The attitudes of those people have always been a little cold, and they all said after hearing the words: "Commander Di..." Di Qing smiled and said, "They're all my brothers, so why be polite? By the way, what's the situation with the enemy recently?" But he thought in his heart, "The security here is not as strict as I thought." Zuoqiu frowned and said: "His grandma, the thieves from Dangxiang fought fiercely a few days ago, but we fought even more fiercely and repelled their attacks several times. These days... the Dangxiang people have not moved, and most of them have died. I was terrified of being beaten, so I didn’t dare to come again.” Di Qing's eyes flickered, and he said suddenly: "Before I came here, I sent a subordinate to report to Lord Wang. If there is an urgent military report, please see Wang Dujian immediately. I wonder if Wang Dujian told the left commander?" Zuoqiu was slightly stunned, rolled his eyes, and immediately said: "Yes, of course. Wang Dujian also said that as soon as Commander Di comes, tell him immediately, and he will come to see you. But it's dark and cold at night. Commander Di, please rest for a while, I will send someone to find Wang Dujian." "It's time to work." Di Qing thanked. "They're all my brothers, why are you being polite?" Zuo Qiu laughed again, and then ordered one of his men to go to the Wangdu Supervisor, and arranged for Di Qing's men to rest for a while. Di Qing said to Sima Buqun: "You and Zhenyuan take the brothers to obey Commander Zuo's orders. I will look for you soon after I see the Wangdu Prison." Sima Buqun was silent all the time. He was about to say something when he saw the situation. He suddenly looked at the snow, nodded and said, "I know." Di Qing stomped his feet and said with a sigh, "It's really cold this winter. In Shanxi, I have never encountered such a cold day." Zuoqiu responded, "Yes, it's getting colder here. Commander Di, please." He should go first, and brought Di Qing to a large room with a few of his subordinates. Most of the Yanbian fortresses are simple and rudimentary. Although the rooms are large, they are only made of wooden boards, which are unbearably crude.Fortunately, there was a stove lit in the room, which brought some warmth to the cold night.Zuoqiu ordered his subordinates to wait outside the room, sat down opposite Di Qing, and ordered: "Hurry up and bring some good tea." Di Qing was only polite, the tea was served long ago, Zuo Qiu personally filled two cups of tea, Di Qing suddenly stretched his eyebrows, and said: "Huh, but the Royal Supervisor is here?" Zuoqiu was slightly startled, turned his head and looked over, only to see the desolate winter night, the fire in the house pierced through, unable to break through the frozen darkness.The snowflakes drifted slowly and fell on the ground silently, giving people a kind of cold stillness. No one came. Zuoqiu turned his head slowly, and said with a smile: "It is said that Commander Di is extremely vigilant, but it seems that no one came?" Di Qing also seemed a little embarrassed by his misjudgment, and said, "Then... maybe a wild cat walked by outside?" Zuoqiu laughed loudly and said: "Commander Di can even hear the sound of cats walking, it's really not easy." He didn't go out to check, as if he had believed Di Qing's words, he raised the teacup in front of him and said: "Commander Di, please Tea. Lord Wang will be here soon." Di Qing picked up the teacup, sniffed it, and said, "This is the early spring tea from the Jinghu area. Although the taste is light, it has a long aftertaste, like a warm tree in early spring, and has a lot of charm." His knowledge of tea ceremony was learned from Yang Nian'en, and when he said it casually, he couldn't help but think of Yang Yushang again, feeling a little sad in his heart. Zuoqiu's eyes were filled with surprise, "I don't think Commander Di has such an understanding of the tea ceremony. I'm an old man, I don't understand these things. Come... do it first as a respect." Di Qing drank the tea after finishing speaking, and Di Qing smiled Taking a sip of tea, he swallowed slowly and said, "This tea...you have to savor it carefully." Zuoqiu put down his teacup, and suddenly said: "Commander Di, I wonder what you want to discuss with Supervisor Wang?" Of course, the matter discussed by the Dujian and Commander Di is of great importance, how can I, an outsider, be able to go into details?" Di Qing smiled and said, "Actually, I didn't send anyone here before, and I don't have any military information to tell Wang Dujian." Zuoqiu's face changed slightly, "Then what did you mean just now?" A cold light flashed across Di Qing's eyes, and he asked back: "Actually, I should have asked Commander Zuo about this sentence. Since what I said was not true, then Commander Zuo just pretended that Wang Dujian already knew about it. , how to explain it?" Zuoqiu suddenly stood up and took two steps back.Di Qing still sat there as if nothing had happened, looking at him with a smile on his face. Seeing that Di Qing was very calm, Zuoqiu rolled his eyes and laughed loudly: "Others say Commander Di is a little clever, seeing him today really opened my eyes. Since when did you start to doubt me?" Di Qing said: "It stands to reason...the military situation is urgent. Since reinforcements have arrived, you should take me to see Wangdujian immediately. Besides, Wangdujian is so busy, there is no need to come to see a commander in person. You are too polite ... being polite always makes me feel a little uneasy." Zuoqiu let out a sigh, and said coldly: "You are really careful. But no matter how cautious you are, your men are not prepared. The hundreds of men you left outside may have been wiped out long ago." Di Qing said calmly: "Since I'm already on guard, how can I not let them be on guard?" Zuoqiu sneered and said, "Don't bully others, I've been watching you, and you never gave orders to your subordinates." Di Qing stomped lightly, "You didn't notice my feet. I wrote the word 'Caution' on the snow, and then erased those two words when I complained about the cold weather. You didn't see it, But my men saw it." Zuoqiu was startled, recalling the original situation, only to realize that it was indeed the case.He originally wanted to mess up Di Qing's state of mind, but he didn't want Di Qing to remain as stable as Mount Tai.His mind was spinning, he suddenly let out a long laugh, and threw the cup on the ground, making a crisp sound. Several people outside the house suddenly rushed in and stood guard in front of the door.Zuoqiu sighed pretendingly: "Di Qing, you are indeed smart. But no matter how smart you are, I'm afraid you can't think of one thing. This tea is poisonous." Di Qing's face changed slightly, "I only took a sip." "One sip of tea is enough." Zuo Qiu was very proud. Di Qing suddenly laughed, mockingly, "Wouldn't that cup of tea be more fatal?" Zuo Qiu was originally complacent, but suddenly his face changed drastically, he stretched out his hand to strangle his throat, and said in a low voice: "You...you?" Poisoned. Di Qing slowly drew his sword and said: "You are very surprised why you were the one who was poisoned, right? Then let me tell you, just now I deliberately said that the Wangdu prison came, and when you turned back, I had already changed the teacup. If the tea is not poisonous, it will It's okay, but if the tea is poisonous, then I can only blame you for your misfortune." The long knife wins the snow, shining Di Qing's eyes, Di Qing said word by word: "Now... what else do you want to ask?" Di Qing drew his saber in his hand, and although he was in control of the situation, he felt very uneasy. The waves in Pingyuan Village are dark and dark, it is by no means as quiet as it looks on the surface. How is Wang Dujian doing now?How much power does this Zuoqiu control in Pingyuan Village?If Pingyuan Village was infiltrated by spies long ago, why is it still so quiet now? What is the purpose of the party members not to take Pingyuan? Zuoqiu's forehead was already sweating, so he was about to reach out his hands to fumble for something in his arms, but he didn't want Di Qing to rush over and grab his wrist.When Zuo Qiu's subordinates saw the leader captured, they all wanted to come forward to rescue him. Di Qing single-handedly laid his sword on Zuoqiu's neck, and shouted: "If you want to live, first let them be obedient." One person shouted, "Who do you think you are..." Before he finished speaking, a light flashed, and the person had been stabbed in the chest, blood spurted out, and he fell on his back. Those talents were about to go up side by side, but when they saw Di Qing's sword coming out like lightning, they couldn't help but took a step back in shock. Di Qing sneered, "You should know who I am now, right?" His hands were like iron hoops, controlling Zuoqiu.Zuoqiu's face turned dark, and he said in a low voice, "Give me the antidote!" Di Qing sneered and remained silent, Zuo Qiu finally couldn't resist, and shouted: "We... used drugs to control Wang Jiyuan, and we didn't kill him... Now it is said that he is sick in bed." Di Qing asked, "Where is he?" Zuoqiu shouted: "It's near Zuoqiu, let go of my hand..." Seeing that Zuoqiu's face had turned purple, Di Qing didn't want to just poison him to death, so he let go of his hand before taking out the medicine bottle from his arms. Suddenly alerted, he stepped aside. A gust of wind suddenly flashed by, and Di Qing counterattacked without hesitation, cutting off the head of the sneak attacker.But the man kept castrating, and even stabbed Zuoqiu in the chest with a knife.Zuoqiu let out a scream, and rolled to the ground with that person. Di Qing squinted over, knowing that the man was Zuoqiu's subordinate.Presumably that person failed to sneak attack him, but killed Zuoqiu instead.Seeing the rest of the crowd ready to move, there are still six of them.Di Qing made a quick decision, and single-handedly moved, slashed, slashed and stabbed, killing four people in an instant. The remaining two were so frightened that they turned their heads and ran away. Di Qingfei stepped forward and knocked one of them unconscious with the handle of the knife in order to survive. The last one was a fat man. Seeing Di Qing's bravery, he was so terrified that his sword fell to the ground, his fat body trembling, he knelt down suddenly and begged, "Don't kill me, I know where Wang Jiyuan is." Di Qing was slightly happy, and said in a low voice, "Okay, if you lead me to find Wang Jiyuan, I will spare you. Don't try to play tricks, don't forget, there is still someone here who can lead the way." The man said tremblingly: "The villain dare not play tricks. In fact...the villain is coerced by them..." "Stop talking nonsense." Di Qing said: "Lead the way ahead, remember that my knife is behind you." The two were about to take their steps, when footsteps sounded outside the door, and someone shouted: "Commander Di... the brothers are here." Di Qing recognized Sima Buqun's voice, and said happily, "Are you all alright?" Sima Buqun and Ge Zhenyuan walked in side by side, and they were shocked to see dead people everywhere.Seeing that Di Qing was fine, Ge Zhenyuan said happily: "Those bitch sons wanted to plot against us and poured tea for us. Unexpectedly, we were more enthusiastic and forced the tea into them. After drinking the tea, they all died. Sima and I are worried about Commander Di, so come over and have a look first." Sima Buqun was even more careful, and said: "Commander Di, I think Zuoqiu is just a small group of rioters and has not yet controlled Pingyuan Village, otherwise he wouldn't have sent just a few people to deal with us." Di Qing nodded and said: "I think so too. Just now Zuoqiu said that they controlled the Wangdu prison with drugs, and most of them haven't activated it yet. Let's rescue the Wangdu prison first." Turning to the fat man, he asked: "Can you Is someone guarding Wang Dujian?" The fat man hurriedly said: "There are two guards outside the room. There is no one else." Without waiting for Di Qing to order, the fat man took the initiative to say: "Master Di, I will take you to rescue the Wangdu prison, please spare my dog's life Bar?" Seeing that the fat man was pitiful, Di Qing was afraid that things might change later, so he immediately said, "No problem." The fat man was overjoyed, so he should go first.Pingyuan Village is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the terrain is rugged. The fat man took Di Qing up to a mound, where there are a few wooden houses, which are quite simple.Seeing that the surroundings were very quiet, Di Qing asked puzzledly, "Where are the guards here?" The fat man apologized and said with a smile: "Master Di, Zuoqiu was bribed by the gangsters, and he also recruited a few buddies to follow... The villain is not his buddies, he just did it out of necessity." Di Qing said impatiently, "Keep your story short." The fat man said embarrassingly: "Right now, Wang Dujian has been drugged, and he is groggy all day long, unable to move. Zuoqiu was afraid that others would find out about this, so he removed all the guards around him, saying that Wang Dujian asked everyone to leave him alone. Guard the stronghold with all your strength, so apart from Zuoqiu's two subordinates, there is no one else here." While whispering, two people walked out of the wooden house, one of them shouted: "Fatty Pu, what are you doing here? Who is following you?" The fat man seemed to want to curry favor with Di Qing, but he took the initiative to cover it up for Di Qing: "Master Zuo has recruited him again, and this time... is to take away Wang Jiyuan." The man scolded: "If Commander Zuo doesn't come, no one can take Wang Jiyuan away." Di Qing took a step forward and said with a smile: "Then you are wrong. If Commander Zuo can't come, I can take away Wang Dujian." Blood has been spattered.Seeing the situation, the other person turned around and was about to run back to the room, but Di Qing flew out single-handedly and stabbed the person in the vest.The man fell in front of the door, struggled twice, and did not move again. Fatty Pu couldn't help trembling, looked at Di Qing in shock and awe, pointed to the room, and said in a trembling voice: "Wang Dujian is inside." Di Qing pulled back the single saber from the corpse, put the saber back into its sheath, and strode into the wooden house.All I saw was the shabby interior of the house, with a spear hanging on the wall. On the wooden table next to the bed, there is a bowl of fried herbal medicine, which has a strong taste and is still steaming, and most of it has been drunk. There was a person lying on the bed, covered with a heavy quilt, with his back to the wall. Di Qing stepped forward quickly, and said in a low voice: "Wang Dujian, I am Di Qing from Xinzhai! How are you doing now?" Wang Jiyuan seemed to be still conscious, so he turned around reluctantly, and said in a low voice: "I... urgent..." He spoke intermittently, and Di Qing couldn't understand, so he leaned over to ask, "You..." Before he could lower his head, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He drank more than half a bowl of medicine, but Wang Jiyuan's mouth and quilt did not smell of medicine at all. If Fatty Pu and Zuoqiu were telling the truth, Wang Jiyuan's quilt and body should not have been so clean in the past few days. When Di Qing noticed the abnormality, he was shocked! Wang Jiyuan, who was originally sick, suddenly became violent and was thrown at him.The candles in the room were dimmed, and immediately after the sound of "Chi", before the quilt arrived, a knife came out of the quilt, stabbing Di Qing's chest hard. The elbow and armpit changed, and Di Qing retreated suddenly.He has experienced countless thrills in his life, but this time is the most important.The speed of the man's sword, the urgency of the change, and the cunning of the sneak attack, even made it too late for Di Qing to draw the sword. This is a trap? The other party was so weird and deep that he even thought that Di Qing would come to rescue Wang Jiyuan, so he laid an ambush early. Di Qing's thoughts flashed, but he was able to escape the fatal knife.He had already drawn his saber before he was about to slash out, when suddenly a gust of wind exploded behind him, Di Qing couldn't dodge in time, and was hit hard in the back by a punch! Is there a master behind you?Who attacked? 那一拳如铁锤巨斧，击在了狄青的身上，只打的狄青心脏几乎爆裂。可生死关头，狄青还能倒卷一刀。 刀光一闪即逝，如流星经天，横行天涯。天涯有残阳，残阳如血！ 偷袭之人挡不住横行一刀，倏然而退。 可后方偷袭才去，前方单刀又至，堪堪砍在狄青的胸口。 狄青浑身乏力，只来得及扭动下身躯，刀如毒蛇，噬中狄青的手臂。狄青身后偷袭那人身形一闪，已到了墙壁旁，伸手一招，挂在墙壁上的长枪已握在手上，再次向狄青刺去。 一枪劲刺，快若寒星，却如烟如幻。 那人身法奇快，一来一回，竟然不输于王继元的快刀。 狄青避无可避，突然手腕一翻，那被子蓦然倒卷，竟将床榻扑来那王继元裹在其中。 王继元大惊，不想那被子竟然也会反噬。厉喝声中，单刀翻飞，棉花四起，有如柳絮蒙蒙。 破被刹那，王继元只觉得腰间一凉，不由惊天的发出一声吼。 狄青一刀深深刺入了王继元的腰间，顺势一旋，已倚在王继元的身后。他已耗尽了全身的气力，他只希望能拖住片刻，再喘一口气。 那一拳太过凶悍威猛，打得狄青几乎丧失了活动的能力，狄青从未想到过，还有人一拳能打出千斤铁锤的力道。 长枪惊艳，毫不停留地刺入了王继元的胸口。“波”的一声响，几无阻碍的又钻入了狄青的胸膛！ 狄青吸气，用尽全身的气力退后，那长枪潋滟，“嗖”的一声，又从狄青的胸口拔出，带出泉喷一样的血。 狄青脸色惨白，手捂胸口，已摇摇欲坠。 变生肘腋，让司马不群和葛振远甚至来不及反应。等到他们醒悟过来的时候，王继元已死，狄青被重创，而出枪那人正立在灯旁，飘逸出尘。 他肩头有血，枪尖滴血。 他嘴角终于浮出了一丝笑意，他虽被狄青一刀伤了手臂，还折损了个同伴，但毕竟重创了狄青。 只要能杀了狄青，所有付出的代价，当然都值得。 颤巍巍的灯光下，那胖胖的身躯不再臃肿，反倒有种脱俗出尘之意。谁都想不到，这人能刺出如此惊艳的一枪！ 蒲胖子拎着滴血的长枪，浑身上下再没有什么卑微之意，望着狄青微笑道：“狄青，你完了！” 狄青脸色惨白，根本说不出话来。他也想不到蒲胖子竟有这种身手！ 司马不群和葛振远这才惊醒，奔过去叫道：“狄指挥！”司马不群撕下衣襟，想要为狄青包扎伤口…… 可那血哪里止得住？ 蒲胖子并没有阻拦，嘴角甚至带着分讥诮的笑。伤口可以包扎，但伤势只能更重，他已掌控大局，更不把司马和葛振远放在眼中。 “你……是……谁？”狄青低声问，又一次的感觉死亡离得如此之近。 蒲胖子微微一笑道：“我是菩提！”见狄青满是不解，蒲胖子又补充道：“菩提本无树，明镜亦非台；本来无一物，何处惹尘埃？这偈语你想必听过，我用的是无尘枪，我就是菩提，西北八部中的龙部菩提王！” There are nine kings of the Dragon Department and eight Xeons.菩提无树，无尘之枪。 都说九王中菩提王的无尘一枪，已不带半分人间烟火，一枪刺出来，神鬼难挡。狄青也知晓，却没有想到过，有朝一日他会与菩提王在这种情形下遇到。 无尘枪没有尘埃，却有血。狄青的血滴滴嗒嗒的落地，虽是轻微，但惊心动魄。 菩提王看出了狄青随时要倒下去的样子，微笑道：“我来这里，就是要杀你。因为帝释天已觉得你是个威胁，如不除去，只怕后患无穷。” 狄青一颗心已越跳越慢，但听到“帝释天”三字的时候，眼中寒光又现。他想不到元昊竟然知道他，而且要杀他！ “只要有人威胁到我们的扩张，就一定要死！”菩提王还是不紧不慢道，他已胜券在握，不再急于出手，“狄青，你这一年多，很出风头。帝释天说你若有机会，就是另外一个曹玮，他不想看到这种事情发生。这平远寨早在我们的算计之中，迟迟不取，就是在等你来。” 狄青已有些恍然，“是夏……守贇？”他身受重伤，心思反倒出奇的清醒。 夏守贇将他狄青调到平远，就是要借菩提王的手将他除去。 除了夏守贇，还有谁会对他狄青的行踪了若指掌？ 菩提王点头道：“你很聪明，猜到是夏守贇给我们的消息！夏守贇派你过来，我就在这里等你。左丘自大，死有余辜，我算定了他不能成事，而你会救王继元，所以派了夜叉埋伏在床榻上，然后刻意带你前来，杀了你。你现在……都明白了吧？”见狄青无语，菩提王惋惜道：“你这么一个聪明的人，我本不想你死。” 葛振远怒吼道：“你是个什么东西？你以为可以定别人生死吗？” 菩提王微微一笑道：“我不是东西，是菩提。”话未毕，已出手，一枪劲刺狄青。他是菩提王，根本就没有将葛振远二人放在眼中，在他心目中，大敌仍是狄青。 长枪刺出，葛振远、司马不群倏然窜出，一左一右攻向菩提王，他们虽知不敌，但没有半分畏惧之意。 他们若逃，不见得就死，可他们不想逃，若能给狄青争取一分生机，他们虽死无憾。 菩提王嘴带冷笑，长枪一抖，已化梅花两点，分刺二人的胸膛。他这招变化，简直是妙绝天成，不带半分尘埃，他故意放慢了速度，算准了二人必躲，他甚至已凝聚全身的气力，准备必杀的一刺。 A centipede is dead but not stiff.他可以小瞧旁人，但绝不能小瞧狄青。 可他蓦地发现，他本不应该小瞧任何人。 葛振远见那枪刺来，下意识的躲闪。司马不群一直沉默无言，甚至好像还有些胆怯，可见那枪刺来，遽然加快速度，竟迎枪口扑了过去！ “嗤”的轻响，长枪入胸。司马不群闷哼声中，已一把抱住了菩提王。 司马不群心思阴沉，知道眼下的情况，就算躲避亦是无用。他舍了性命，只求困住菩提王。 菩提王大惊，从未想到还有人会用这种不要命的招式，他被锁住了枪，锁住了手脚，怪叫声中，再没有了脱俗之意。他全力一挣，司马不群五官已经溢血，菩提王一甩，才挣开司马不群，又被另外一个人牢牢抱住。 那人的怀抱，有如大海山川，力道无穷无尽。 菩提王甚至听到自己筋骨寸断的声音，然后他就看到一双野兽般凶恶的眼眸。狄青道：“我答应过羽裳，我不会死！”他话未说完，长嚎声中，全身的力道尽数泄在菩提王的身上。 司马不群为狄青争取了一个机会。 狄青也抓住了这个机会。 这时候的狄青，无力再战，只能用野兽般的本能，熊抱住菩提王，有如他扼死增长天王般。 菩提王惊天般的一声吼，全身用力，但就是无法挣脱狄青束缚。陡然间背心一凉，“刷”的一声响，菩提王感觉全身的气力都泻了出去，眼珠子死鱼一样的凸出，四肢已软了下来。 葛振远出刀，一刀刺进了菩提王的背心，结束了这场生死之战！ 狄青和菩提王一起倒了下去，紧紧相拥，如情人般的缠绵。 葛振远大叫道：“狄指挥？司马？” 没有人回应，司马不群仰天倒地，早已毙命。狄青双眸已闭，已晕了过去。 葛振远一屁股坐到地上，立即又爬到狄青的身边，叫道：“狄指挥，你醒醒！”狄青紧闭双眸，呼吸竟已停了，葛振远一颗心也要停了，又望向了司马不群，悲声道：“司马……你不能死呀。”他爬过去，搂住了司马不群，不想这平日看似阴沉的汉子，就这么沉默的死了。 泪水点点滴滴，葛振远悲从中来，又爬到狄青身边，试试狄青的鼻息，竟感觉不到呼吸，一颗心已沉了下去。 狄指挥就这么死了？葛振远一阵茫然，目光空洞。 不知许久，他陡然一震，才发现床榻下竟然还有一人瞪着他，床底怎么还会藏着人？ 葛振远持刀在手，定睛望过去，才见那人四肢被捆得牢固，嘴上塞着破布，双目圆睁，满是焦急之意。 葛振远拖那人出来，拿开他嘴上的破布，问道：“你是谁？” 那人立即道：“我是王继元，平远寨的都监，中他们暗算，被他们捆在这里。你快给我解绑，狄青没有死。” 葛振远忙扭头望过去，见狄青一动不动，根本不信，但还是将王继元的绳索松开。王继元翻身而起，抱起狄青就往外跑去，葛振远急叫：“你去哪里？”他虽悲伤，可不舍狄青的尸体，急抢出去。 王继元跑得极快，对寨中的路径也异常熟悉，很快下了山丘，转过山脚，前方已有兵士喝问，“谁？”等见到王继元，都惊诧道：“王都监，你这么快就好了？”原来这几天，左丘一直说王继元卧病在床，这些兵士都是信以为真。 王继元来不及解释，喝道：“快去找军医来，把寨中的军医都找来，要快！” 那兵士从未见过王继元如此暴躁，慌忙去找军医，王继元又进了个屋子，翻箱倒柜，很快找来一种白色的药粉，撒在狄青的胸口之上。那药粉止血奇佳，狄青伤口很快不再流血，王继元摸摸狄青的脉搏，只感觉到似有似无，焦急地走来走去道：“怎么军医还不来？” 葛振远这才奔到，嗄声道：“狄指挥有救吗？” 王继元骂道：“你就知道叫，早点救他，说不定更有希望。”他遭左丘暗算，被塞到床下，本来昏昏沉沉，可方才药性已过，目睹了房中发生的一切，对狄青极为感激。刚才葛振远没有注意，王继元却看到狄青的眼皮还在轻微的跳，知道狄青未死。 葛振远心中不安，盼能有奇迹出现，哀求道：“王都监，你一定要救活他。” “废话。”王继元又骂了一声，突然神色一动，冲出房去，片刻后拖着一个军医进来道：“程大夫，你快救救这人。” 那大夫见王都监急迫，伸手在狄青手腕上搭了下，摇头道：“死了。” 王继元急道：“没死，他脉搏还在跳呢。” 那大夫又认真的号脉半晌，苦笑道：“他虽还没死，但受创极深，在下……真的治不了这伤。”这会的功夫，房间中又来了几个大夫，见狄青的伤势后，都是摇头。王继元知道这些人已是平远寨最好的大夫，可所有人都说无救，不由狂躁道：“那怎么办？你们都出去。” 那些大夫讪讪离去，王继元望着狄青，见他脸若淡金，全无生机的样子，咬牙道：“你救了我的命，我却救不了你的。”他久闻狄青之名，但素来不服，今日一见，不想竟承他的恩情。 葛振远一颗心又沉了下去，可已下定了决心，说道：“王都监，这里大夫不行，但青涧城可能会有好大夫。你给我辆马车，我带狄指挥回青涧城求医。” 王继元心道，“以狄青这么重的伤势，本不宜长途奔波，但这里既没有医治之法，总不能在这里等死。”有些无奈道：“我本来应该和你一起去的，可是……” 葛振远道：“可是你还要守这里！我只希望，你这次能守得住平远寨！”他心绪不佳，难免不择言语。 王继元并不责怪，心中却想，“元昊处心积虑的在平远寨埋伏下人手，可并不夺寨，难道仅仅是要杀狄青那么简单吗？”这时候来不及多想，吩咐兵士准备一辆马车，四匹健马。葛振远亲自赶车，将青涧城来的兵士都留在平远守寨，又请王继元帮忙将司马不群的尸体埋了。 临行前，葛振远突然道：“王都监，我知道说了，你也可能不信，但这件事我还是要说。夏守贇父子……大有问题！他们可能已投靠了元昊。” 王继元在床底的时候，已听菩提王说及此事，但总有些不信，不解夏家父子本受朝廷重用，为何这么做。犹豫片刻道：“我会小心，你也当心！” 葛振远点点头，出了平远，向青涧城的方向催马狂奔，只希望早些回转青涧城。可到了青涧城，就能救得了狄青的性命吗？葛振远心中没底。 才出了平远寨数十里，对面突然行来一辆马车，那马车只有匹老马拉着，雪地中孤零零的行走。 这时已清晨，天未明。 葛振远十分奇怪，这种要命的天气，这种时候，怎么会有人和他一样的赶路，可见到赶马车的人是个年迈的长者，终于还是稍缓了速度。那道路并不算宽，他不想为救狄青，把那老者撞死。 那老头见葛振远让路，谢了声，才待策马，不想又停了下来。车中有一冰冷如泉的声音道：“狄青受伤了？” 那声音虽冷，但明显是女人发出。葛振远听在耳中，直如五雷轰顶，忍不住握紧了马缰。他不知道对方如何猜出车中就是狄青，更不知道那人如何判断狄青受伤了，难道说这人本来是和菩提王一伙的？ 可菩提王才死，这马车又是从东方赶来，葛振远自信催马如飞，这车里的人绝不会知道平远寨的事情。可若是如此，那车中的女子，如何猜出狄青受伤了？ 葛振远想不明白，所以才惊疑不定。 那女子幽幽一叹，突然道：“狄青伤得很重，就算赶回青涧城，只怕也没有人能医治好了。” 葛振远讶声道：“姑娘……你……怎么知道？” 车中那女子漠然道：“我就知道。”车内沉寂若雪，车外雪落无声。天地间，似乎充斥着一股诡异之意，让葛振远心中惴惴。 不知过了多久，葛振远脑海中灵光闪现，吃吃道：“姑娘……那你能救指挥使吗？”葛振远虽未见女子的容颜，但直觉中，倒更信女子有种神通。 那女子轻淡道：“能。” 葛振远突然跃了下来，跪地叩首道：“请姑娘救狄指挥一命，葛振远永记姑娘的大恩大德。” 那女子道：“我要你记住做什么？”葛振远一愣，感觉这女子有拒人千里之外的意思，一时间不知道如何是好。他眼看狄青重伤，随时都会毙命，恨不得以身代替，病急乱投医，眼下狄青能不能熬回青涧城都说不定，他又如何肯放弃眼前的这个机会？葛振远还待再求，那女子道：“我可以救狄青，但你要答应我一个条件。” 葛振远大喜，“你说，千个万个条件我都答应你。” 那女子淡淡道：“你要让我救活狄青，就让我先带他走，去哪里，你不能问。你可能答应我的条件吗？” 葛振远怔住，不想那女子竟提出这种怪异的条件，一时间难以抉择…… 车厢中突然伸出只玉手，那手简直比飘雪还要白。葛振远望着那只手，满是戒备。不想那只手只是轻轻的摊开，露出掌心中的一块石头。 那石头莹白中放着绿光，有如夏日郊外飞动的萤火，在雪夜中，凄清又带着诡异。 那女子轻声道：“葛振远，你不记得我了吗？” 葛振远见到那块石头，脸色巨变，嗄声道：“是你？”他眼中满是难以置信和惊骇，身躯都忍不住颤抖起来。 那石头虽不寻常，但终究不过是块石头，葛振远见到它，为何会如此的惊怖？
