Wrapped around a hundred thousand guan, ride a crane down to Yangzhou. Yangzhou has almost become the representative of the colorful world.As long as you have read the Record of Yangzhou Paintings written by Li Aitang, a literati in the Qing Dynasty, you will know what the world of flowers is. Yangzhou Painted Boat Records, written in the middle of Qianlong, the salt merchants in Yangzhou who became rich from salt, and the realistic record of the extravagant and debauched era; that is, the heyday of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties when Emperor Qianlong went to the south of the Yangtze River (six southern tours) to play, demonstrate, and suppress ; It was also the period when the Literary Inquisition killed the most people and was the most tragic.

and now Now, it is the winter of the thirty-seventh year of Kangxi. Now, it has been fifty-two years since Prince Dorgon ordered the massacre of the city, and Yangzhou killed millions of people in ten days. In fifty-two years, Yangzhou had a population of over one million. Fifty-two years ago, there was not a single complete house in the whole city, and except for the Manchu soldiers and Wu Sangui's traitor soldiers, there was not a single complete living person left. More than 800,000 people were killed, not counting those who were thrown into rivers and wells and burned to ashes, there were more than 800,000 corpses alone.

Now, Yangzhou has become a bustling city with millions of people. Walking on the street, you can no longer see the historical relics of the country's subjugation and genocide.The Jinchun Garden, Yihong Garden, Jingxiang Garden, Fun Garden, and Jiufeng Garden in Guazhou Town are even more beautiful; Sui Garden, Linjiang Palace, Jiangdu Palace, Ten Palaces, and Zhennan Palace have been restored more brilliantly than ever.People can be killed, but Yangzhou is still Yangzhou, it will always stand on the north bank of the Yangtze River, mocking those who want to destroy it. The wind and snow are all over the sky, and the breath turns into ice.

The medium-sized passenger ship from Huai'an Mansion slowly berthed at the Dongmen Wharf. The Lianhe River dries up in winter, water transportation stops, and there are not many boats coming and going. There are only thirty or forty boats of various sizes moored on the pier, and there are very few people moving around. A few policemen came out from the gate to arrest Ding Yong. They first boarded the ship to inspect the passengers and cargo on board, chattering like wolves and tigers, and seemed to treat all the passengers as slaves of gangsters, and their attitude was extremely bad. After delaying for a long time, no tax-evading private goods were found, and half of the criminal fugitives who had been arrested were not caught. Then they disembarked proudly and allowed the passengers to disembark.

Zhang Qiushan took the long entourage hired from Huai'an, and boarded the pier among the crowd. The long follower, Li Si, was a sturdy and stupefied big man. He followed him closely with a big rucksack on his back, as if he was afraid of losing people. There is another passenger ship from unknown origin on the right side, and the passengers who arrived at the port are also disembarking. Generally speaking, the passenger ships lowered from the north end at Jiangning, and there are other passenger ships from Huai'an to Yangzhou.Seeing that there are many passengers disembarking from the neighboring ship, it is probably a passenger ship that ends in Yangzhou.

The crowd converged at the gate of the gate, and three passengers rushed forward from the right. Well!Such a handsome woman disguised as a man and a beautiful lady.He applauded secretly in his heart. Brother, please.He stepped aside with a smile and gave in. The leather hood was raised to cover the ears, revealing a smooth and rosy face with a pair of bright eyes and sideburns, and the big braids were hidden inside the hood. Even though this beautiful lady was wearing a man's robe, a water lake green cape, and a pair of buckskin half boots underneath, he could still tell at a glance that she was a girl disguised as a man.

In fact, it is not difficult to identify. It is absolutely impossible for a man to have sideburns. The Manchu Qing Dynasty required the Han people to surrender by wearing braids, keeping the hair but not the hair, and keeping the hair but not the head. The forehead must be shaved, and the root of the hair must be shaved around, so there must be no sideburns, and you can tell it at a glance. Having sideburns means that the forehead and the root of the hair are not shaved, who dares?Unless you plan to keep your head down. The most embarrassing people with this kind of braided hairstyle are those so-called bearded men who were born with big beards, and turned into two-haired monsters.Therefore, the trend of growing beards in the previous dynasty gradually weakened, and they simply shaved their beards to avoid trouble.

Behind Meijiaowa, followed by a young man dressed as a servant, also disguised as a man; the other was a servant woman in her mid-mature, both of them were carrying parcels and had large baskets in their hands. Mei Jiaowa glanced at him, and walked ahead proudly. When he reached the gate, he turned his head and glared at him. He is already a man of twenty-five or sixteen years old, tall and burly, with long hands and feet, and a not ugly face. His sword eyebrows and tiger eyes are quite heroic, and he is a person who makes people fall in love with him at first sight. He was not poorly dressed, with a navy blue satin jacket, a mandarin jacket with a large placket, and a black Liuhe hat. He really had a gentle temperament.But looking at his figure, and his shining star eyes, that gentle temperament was virtually offset.

He felt a little funny, this young beautiful girl, probably out of her wits, actually put on an expression of a dandy or a wicked young man to demonstrate to him! However, he did have a deep impression on those big flexible eyes. Most girls who are proud of themselves and somewhat talented have such big flexible eyes on the top of their heads. Following behind, he smelled a faint, high-quality, rather rare intoxicating fragrance. Is a troublemaker.He murmured to himself: She has such a ghostly appearance and such virtues, she will make mistakes wherever she goes, and even cause riots. There are a lot of prostitutes in Yangzhou, with all kinds of pink heads, unconventional and unconventional, embellishing this famous city full of nouveau riche Huadu.

It would be a disaster if one daredevil teased her as a fan. The middle-aged servant woman had at least two swords hidden in her long cloth pouch under her side.Based on his experience of wandering the world for ten years, it is difficult for hidden weapons to escape his eyes. A successful wanderer must have a keen sense of danger. He is not only a successful wanderer in the rivers and lakes, but also one of the top ten mysterious monsters in the rivers and lakes who are famously frightened to death and hated by evildoers with evil intentions. Of course, there is nothing scary about the three characters Zhang Qiushan. This is a very common surname and a very common name. I am afraid there are not a thousand people named Zhang Qiushan in the world. You can definitely find five hundred. indivual.

Among the top ten mysterious geeks in Jianghu, the world only knows their nicknames. I am afraid that everyone has more than a dozen pseudonyms and twenty or thirty incarnations, so they can remain mysterious. Only when they think they need to show their true colors, they will reveal their true colors . Now, his identity is Youmu's boring scholar. Youmu, that is, to eat with officials, or to visit rich families as diners.Serving as an undercover dog-headed military adviser for an official was one of the best ways out for the scholars at that time who were frustrated in the examination field. This beautiful girl who thinks she is masculine must have a good foundation in martial arts.How can one value a boring scribe living behind the scenes? In fact, some Youmu scribes were not really poor, but had other ambitions. They didn't want to be slave officials and secretly carried out anti-Qing and Ming-ming work. But since the old people died of old age one after another at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were no successors, and the young people who wanted to use Youmu to develop their ambitions were almost rare. In short, quite a few people hated these soft-boned literati, and those who were determined to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty held strong hostility towards those soft-boned literati. In particular, the surging secret gang organization almost regards intellectuals as enemies, and believes that these literati are extremely unreliable and may turn into slaves of the Manchus at any time.Even if it doesn't turn into a traitor slave, it won't play much role. If a scholar rebels, it won't work in three years. Between people, the first impression is very important when you meet. If you don't like the other person at first glance, it will be difficult to develop a good impression afterwards. He knew in his heart that this beautiful lady had a very bad first impression of him, and it was best for him to stay as far away as possible. Entering the city gate, there were not many pedestrians on the street, the wind and snow were blowing, and the streets were sparsely populated, but the three of them, Mei Jiao Niang and her servants, had long since disappeared. It was dusk in the Huaiyang old store of the famous inn squeezed into the second side street, and the busy scene of the hotel drove away the wild thoughts in his mind. At the beginning of the third watch, a dark shadow like a grimace quietly boarded the Zhenhuai Tower in Nancheng.Flying up the eaves of the three-foot-high building, explored for a while from behind the building sign, and took out a small bamboo tube.It floated down lightly and disappeared in an alley at the root of the city. It is a night walker wearing a white night clothes, wearing a white hood painted with ghost faces, only showing his facial features, and his feet are silent when he walks.It seems to be like a tangible and intangible ghost, coming and going in a hurry like ghosts and phantoms. Under a dim door lamp, he took out the roll of paper in the tube and opened it. Two lines of words were written on it: from Wuchen to Gengwu Fourth Correction, important matters must be reported in person.Yi Chou, Bai Lu. He threw away the bamboo tube, folded the paper and put it in the treasure bag. From the Bell and Drum Tower in the center of the city, there was the sound of bells and drums at three o'clock in the middle of the night. In his eyes, there was a light like a hunting beast, and he snorted softly. it is tomorrow.He said to himself: I hope it's not too late.But this hope was dim, and he fell into the hands of a dreadful foe. The black shadow flickered, as if it disappeared out of nowhere, so fast. At dawn, more than a dozen strong men gathered in the backyard secret room of a pharmacy in Nanguan. This is a medicine room, with a strong smell of medicine flowing in the space, and it also exudes a chilling murderous aura. A middle-aged man with bruises all over his body was leaning against the base of the wall.The old sheepskin jacket was stained with purple and black blood, his frail body couldn't help shaking from the cold, his red and purple swollen face had many scabs, but his red and swollen eyes still radiated a firm cold light. More than a dozen big men wore swords, sitting or standing with very happy expressions. Two big men with fleshy faces squatted on both sides of the injured. In one big hand was an eight-inch sharp-edged knife used as a throwing knife. Grinning like a hungry wolf. The book left in a bamboo tube behind the garden of Zhenhuai Building was taken away last night.The big man smiled and said: "The fish has swallowed the bait, not now, tomorrow night, you can take the bait."Therefore, it is time to send you to the west, and you are no longer needed! Hehehe, the abnormal and nervous laughter of the wounded filled the room, which made people feel uncomfortable and creepy. This abnormal and strange laughter really made people feel uncomfortable. Can you still laugh?The tip of the big man's knife stayed under the wounded's throat, and he was about to get angry: why are you laughing? If you think that my godly thief Li Bailu is a stupid donkey, then you must be a stupid donkey even more stupid than a stupid donkey.The wounded can speak clearly, and he doesn't mind death, let alone the threat of a knife in his throat: Even if you want to send me to hell, it's not your turn to send me. snort!you My godly thief, Li Bailu, has been fooling around for most of my life. What kind of ghosts have I never seen?Even if I am an idiot, I am not so idiotic after watching too much. You haven't caught my friend yet, but if you catch him, you have to testify, right?What's more, you are not a master at all. No matter how pusty your master is, he won't order you to silence him without coming forward to ask for a clear confession, right? Another big man hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop his companion from getting angry. Brother Sun, you can't do anything to this old ghost.The big man pushed away his companion's knife, with a sinister smile on his face: Brother Li, the thief, you are a celebrity who steals all over the country, a hero who specializes in stealing big families, but you are not really desperate. Stop flattering yourself, man.The thief smiled indifferently, with a strange smile: Everyone knows that I, the thief Li Bailu, is not a good guy, let alone a hero, so as soon as I fall into your hands, everything is at your mercy. This is a clearer thing than the blue sky. But you have kept secret about your friend. I'll tell you again and again that I really don't know his details, and I'm powerless to reveal them. I can't tell you more information except for you to catch him and question him, and it's useless to force me to death. You investigated the roots of the ten celebrities and rich men in Yangzhou for him, but you didn't know his details, do you want me to believe it? If you don't believe it, there is nothing you can do about it.People like me have complicated personalities, so how can I spare time to check the root cause one by one? To be honest, whether this friend's name is real or not, I'm afraid there is a big problem. There are not a hundred thousand or eighty thousand people named Zhang San in the world. He gave me three hundred taels of silver as a reward, am I worthy to check his background?This kind of thing is very common, some people will do it for three taels of silver, and I am not crazy, so why would I ask more questions and cut off my money? You are not someone who is willing to go crazy for three hundred taels of silver You are wrong, man.The thief smiled wryly: Although I say that I steal all over the country, the days when I can really steal a lot of property are very limited. There are a lot of bodyguards in the rich family, but who in the mid-level family puts three hundred taels of silver by the bed and waits for someone to steal it?Not to mention three hundred taels of silver, even three taels of silver are not easy to get!You think it's easy to be a thief, don't you?Are you going to take a peek? snort!Don't be a bachelor You just can't listen to the truth.The thief said with emotion: "What should I do? You can see that it's done. Anyway, I stole the luck of the Haitian. I was picked up by you group of masters with unknown origins and unpredictable intentions. Sooner or later, I will go to hell and be an unjust ghost. You can blame me for Li Bailu's fate.You just chop me up! As long as you tell Zhang San's plan, we will never break our promise and let you go. The difficulty is that I don't know, so I can't talk nonsense.When you catch Zhang San and ask him about his real plot, it's no wonder you don't chop me up and feed them to the dogs. snort!You don't mess around, do you? That's why I was punished by you until half my life was left!Dude, where did you come from?Instead, the thief sniffed. snort Anyway, I'm doomed, and I'm really not reconciled to being a fool.You are not afraid that I, who is about to be slaughtered by you, will reveal my words to the outside world, right? When the time comes, my superior will let you die clearly. Your superior is the head of the Yangzhou bodyguards, right? Do you agree? not like.The thief said affirmatively. why? The so-called patron saint of Yangzhou is Jia Qiye Jia Yongxing, a disciple of Shangwumen. and what? You dear friends, any one of you is better than Master Jia in martial arts, and Master Jia is probably not worthy to lift the shoes for your elder, so You are worthy of being called a fine veteran. Praise, praise!Your Excellency is We came out of the ground.The big man grinned: Do you think that your friend Zhang San will meet you at Zhenhuai Tower within three days at your request to leave a note? To tell you the truth, I don't know.The thief couldn't help shaking his head: The two parties had already agreed in advance, I will write the investigation results and put them in the bamboo slips, it has nothing to do with me when he picks them up, and we will never see each other again in the future. In fact, I have only seen his face in disguise. Even if we meet in the future, it is impossible to recognize him as Zhang San, and it is impossible for him to still appear in the face of Zhang San that I have seen.No need to ask, that's all I know. I am oblivious.The big man changed his face and said fiercely: In this way, you are no longer of any use value to us. I'm afraid so.The thief said calmly and in a heroic tone. You know the result. Of course, those who have been in the rivers and lakes for a few days will know the result, and your tone is clear enough. Your Excellency can see it. What if you can't see it?Even if I can make up some plots and reasons that you want to hear, and linger for a while, the result is still the same in the end, but I will suffer more than necessary, because Zhang San will definitely be captured by many of you, I Lies and nonsense will be exchanged for cruel humiliation, right? Quite right, luckily you didn't confess with a lie.Dashuang's coveted companion with a knife raised his hand and waved: "Brother Sun, you can send him on his way."Thinking that he is a hero, give him a good time. good.Brother Sun grinned grimly and raised his knife to approach: he will be as happy as he can be without any pain, and he will be clean and tidy. The sharp blade was drawn towards the thief's throat. The thief smiled coldly and closed his eyes. The icy saber air passed by his throat, it was extremely cold to the bone. The thief's smile stopped, and he opened his eyes. You are not soft-handed, are you?The thief's voice was stiff. Not yet.Big Han Sun brother put the knife into the flying knife and stepped aside: You can't die now, I have to leave you and Zhang San to testify, and when it's time to send you on the road, I guarantee that my funeral flying knife will kill you Also rest in peace. The thief's eyes moved, but he immediately closed his eyes and fell asleep with a snort. Just when the cold wind picked up, someone rushed into the room. What's wrong?The big man who was interrogating earlier asked another big man who barged in with an abnormal expression. He didn't pay attention to what Brother Sun said, let alone the change in the thief's eyes. Subordinates are incompetent.The big man who entered the room said in panic: "I didn't find any traces or footprints."The subordinate carefully inspected all the streets and alleys in the direction where the figure disappeared. You bastards!big eater!The big man cursed angrily: Four so-called masters of the rivers and lakes who only know how to brag, were waiting in ambush less than a hundred paces around Zhenhuai Tower, and let one person take away the guards and move freely. Any trail footprints, you want me to believe?Asshole plus three. Subordinate Didn't you say it was taken away by ghosts?snort! That person came and went as fast as ghosts and apparitions. He disappeared in the blink of an eye as soon as he saw the blurred figure. No one expected that he would not stay for a moment.The superior repeatedly explained that he was only allowed to follow but not to be arrested on the spot If you can't keep up, you should do it!Are you dead? It is difficult to distinguish even the shape and shadow, how to track?Subordinate Forget it, Manager Luo.A middle-aged man sitting under the window smoothed things over, and his status seemed to be higher than that of the cursing man: We don't expect success in the first move, but the second move is the key.Gu Zizhong. The small one is here.The big man who was scolded bowed respectfully and answered. The snow on the tile surface is thin, and it is difficult to hide the traces. Could it be that there are no traces left?It is absolutely impossible for Taxue Wuhen to support a hundred steps, right? Back to fifth master's words.The big man said with a mournful face: "That figure really comes and goes like the wind. It is impossible to estimate whether it is possible to use Treading Snow Wuhen's extreme lightness kung fu. There are indeed no traces and footprints on the nearby tiled surfaces and streets." Well!This man named Zhang San seems to be quite difficult to deal with. We may have to use twice as many people to succeed in the second round of encirclement.You go to rest!I have to ask the superior for instructions, let's go!Fifth Master waved to the big men on the left and right, and led the two big men out of the room in a hurry. The thief was asleep with his eyes closed, but he was clearly aware of the movement in the room. The Huaiyang Old Store is a time-honored shop with well-equipped equipment and elegant style, but the tourists who settle down are not so neat. Although there are high-ranking officials and nobles staying there, there are also ghosts and monsters with complicated personalities. Anyway, as long as you have the money to afford the expensive board and lodging, and you can dress decently, you can live in like a grandpa. It doesn't matter who you are in the bottom of your heart, which side is the sacred dragon and snake. Of course Zhang Qiushan is dignified and generous, even the hired entourages are given a separate room to live in. It is really grandeur, the shop assistants are very fond of him, and he rewards him with a tael of silver, so the shop assistants regard him as a God of Wealth. In those days, a bucket of rice cost only two hundred Wen.One tael of silver, the market value is about 1,200 Wen, and the price is very stable and cheap. It really has a scene of prosperity in peace and prosperity. Every Wen Kangxi Tongbao can be used. If you have a hundred and ten Wen coins on your body, you are quite rich. up. Therefore, the thief said that three hundred taels of silver is not easy to steal, but three hundred taels of silver is a great wealth!You can really buy dozens of acres of fertile land, so there are many people who are willing to sacrifice their lives for three hundred taels of silver. In the early morning of the next day, when the wind and snow had not stopped, he sent the hired entourage back to Huai'an, intending to hire entourage from the south tour here, and he still had some time to stay in Yangzhou, so it was not appropriate for anyone to follow him. Returning to the upper room of the third entrance courtyard, suddenly at the corridor leading to the east courtyard to the second courtyard, a shop guy rushing out from the corridor of the east courtyard quickly bumped into him head-on, with quite ferocious force. Terrible!He instinctively took root and hit hard. Since he is pretending to be a boring scholar, how can he not suffer from a confrontation with a reckless man? There was a loud bang, the shoulders touched, and the clerk also instinctively slammed with such force that his right forearm mercilessly kicked back against his right rib. Only then did he suddenly realize that this shop guy was no ordinary reckless man, but a Wu friend who had practiced his internal strength. oops!He screamed, flew to the left, hit the pillar with a bang, and then rebounded and fell to the ground. The shopkeeper jumped forward, fleeing like flying. Before he got up, the figure in the east courtyard fell down, and the fragrant wind entered his nostrils. When he raised his head suddenly, he saw a figure passing by quickly. It was the servant of the fake dandy, who was shockingly fast and didn't make any noise. ah!He exclaimed in surprise. Then the figure reappeared, and the dude stood beside him with his hands behind his back, with a forced smile on his face, as if he thought his embarrassment was unbearable, and that he deserved the bump. Is Xingying just now a human or a ghost?He asked foolishly, stood up and brushed the dust off his body. Did you see a ghost?The counterfeit's voice was soft and sweet, very pleasing to the ear, with a Beijing accent full of sarcasm, and his bright eyes were full of expressions. The sky is bright and the sun is shining It's windy and snowy, the sky is full of clouds, you can't see the blue sky, let alone daylight, have you used the wrong allusion?The counterfeit pouted and said: You blocked the attack for me, the assassin might not be able to escape, I have to thank you.oh!Are you okay? I can bear this bit of pain.Huh!What kind of assassin did you say that shop guy was?Stab what?He was quite surprised, this fake young man just stayed in the hotel yesterday, how could an assassin come to him? He knew in his heart that this fake son must be someone with a lot of background. That servant woman is even a master of stunts.Based on the speed of the pursuit, it is not easy for the person pretending to be the shop boy to get away, unless there are other wise people. Don't ask what you don't understand, oh!What is your last name? Surnamed Zhang.He answered casually, and walked away. He doesn't want to get involved in this kind of murder dispute, it's better to get out of the right and wrong as soon as possible. I come with you on a passenger ship from Huai'an.The fake boy moved intentionally or unintentionally, blocking his way. I know.He had to stop: you live in the upper cabin of the official cabin, and I'm in the back cabin. My surname is Zhang, the chapter of the article.I still have some things to do, Brother Zhang, I will visit the guest room later and ask Brother Zhang for some advice. Ask something?He was startled: You and I have never met before You may have heard about some things that happened in Huai'an in Huai'an.See you later.The fake son's tone was quite domineering, and he turned around with a smile and returned to the east courtyard. Watching the back of the fake son disappear, his heart moved slightly. Based on his experience and insight, he knew that the fake young man's impression of him was gradually changing, from contempt to favor, which should be regarded as a good sign. In fact, his first impression of this fake young man surnamed Zhang was not bad. He was beautiful, generous and refined, but Why mention something that happened in Huai'an?What is involved in these matters?He suddenly became wary, which is the instinct of people in the Jianghu. He was walking along the corridor, and at the moment when he started, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a corner door of the second entrance courtyard in front, and someone quietly pushed a crack from inside; there was no doubt that someone was secretly peeping inside. He raised his vigilance and instinctively felt that this matter was getting more and more complicated. What is going on? At the moment, he doesn't intend to cause unnecessary complications for unnecessary matters. After returning to his room, he made some precautionary preparations. The fake son has never come to Sanjinyuan to look for him. The atmosphere in the store is a bit wrong. The nervous expressions of the shop assistants indicate that an uncontrollable accident happened in the shop. Passengers raised questions, and the magic weapon of the shop assistants was to ask three questions and never reveal the slightest word of mouth. The three fake sons who lived in the east courtyard went out after discovering the assassin, and still did not return to the shop at dusk. Zhang Qiushan knew that the assassin escaped. The fake son will not return to the store, which means that he is unwilling and has gone out to track him down. It also means that the fake son has friends or companions in Yangzhou who can be used as a search. These people may be fellow experts who understand the threshold of the rivers and lakes. That's none of his business, there's no need to ask. When lighting the lamp, he had dinner in his room, the light outside was bright, he ate alone according to the table, a few appetizers and two jugs of wine, drinking and drinking by himself was very comfortable.This courtyard is full of noble travelers, and there are not many tourists tonight, and the rooms on the left and right are empty. It was windy and snowy outside, and the room was still chilly. It seemed that the whole yard was quiet, and every passenger was hiding in the airtight guest room. Even the shop assistants who walked around waiting to be called and greeted were silent like cats. The strong wind blows across the yard, and listening to the wind in the room feels desolate. Seeing that the new year is approaching, it is time for wanderers to miss home The rogues also have homes.He also has a home. But here and now, he asks himself not to be homesick. After drinking three glasses of wine, my stomach feels warm. This kind of Erguotou produced by Xu Pei is the best sorghum burnt. When you take a sip of wine, you are guaranteed to have a hot burning feeling that goes straight down to the dantian. He can drink, but tonight is not the time to drink too much. As soon as he raised his fourth glass of wine, he froze suddenly. A gust of cold wind entered the room, and immediately there was another person behind him. Not only people, but also a sharp knife, with a piercing cold blade, resting on his right neck. As long as the knife holder drags the knife lightly, the blood vessels on the side of his neck will be severed, his muscles will be ruptured and his bones may be broken, and his head may be separated. It is extremely dangerous. This is no joke. The half-hidden door and the heavy curtain to prevent the wind were opened by an expert, and when it was opened and closed, it would not make the slightest sound. A total of three people came in, three uninvited guests with gray cloth masks, only showing a pair of strange eyes, one arrived behind him with incredible quick agility, and restrained him with a knife. The other two stood side by side across the table, staring at him with wolf-like eerie eyes. can i sitThe masked man with a taller figure and a sword in his belt asked in a piercing fake voice. Regardless of whether he agrees or not, the masked man who spoke has dragged out of the bench and sat down, and reached out to take the wine glass in his hand. He couldn't help shaking.How can a boring scribe not tremble when he meets a swordsman? So he trembled almost as if he had seen a ghost. You and his voice trembled even more, and it was almost difficult to distinguish the words. Don't ask us, ask you.The masked man put down his cup, and his tone softened: I hope you cooperate. I Your name is Zhang Qiushan, we found it from the passenger's journal, and you are from Huai'an Prefecture, right? Yes, it is.He could finally say these two words clearly. During the day, you deliberately blocked our friends from withdrawing. Why withdraw?heroes, i What is your relationship with Zhang Gongzi Zhang Da of the East Courtyard?From the looks of it, you don't look like his bodyguard at all. Zhang Da?Then that playboy is called Zhang Da?God!I didn't know his name was Zhang Da We checked your background, maybe you really are not from that kid, but you came from Huai'an on the same boat with him, so you know some details about him, right?The masked man's tone became more and more friendly. I swear, I swear eagerly: I don't know anything about him.lord you My surname is Zhu, and people call me Master Zhu San.If you agree to cooperate, I will not treat you badly I see!He looked up and said, suddenly no longer trembling. what do you understand In the area of ​​Xu, Huai, Su, and Chang, there are ten ruthless bandits with superb martial arts, killing people and stealing money, and possessing many minions.There was a smile on his face, and he didn't care about the sharp steel knife on the side of his neck: Your Excellency is called Master Zhu San, and he must be Zhu Wu, the third evil dragon of the Four Golden Dragon Kings. cough!Your third master Zhu changed color and pushed the stool up. You are counting Mr. Zhang Da. Master Zhou Jian and Zhu San shouted urgently at the masked man who restrained him. Don't count on your minion, he can't move his knife.He said calmly, raised his right hand to hold the knife on his neck and brought it forward. Zhou Jian, the masked man behind him, backed away suddenly, as if he had seen a ghost, or as if he had been punched back. Huh!Your third master Zhu exclaimed in amazement, stretched out his hand and drew his sword. If I were you, don't draw the sword, it would be a big loss.He stood up slowly, grasped the handle of the knife and flicked it lightly, but his calm expression had a terrifying magic power. The hand of your third master Zhu who drew his sword froze. You bastard!He scolded with a smile: You evil dragon raised a flood and came to my Dragon King Temple, is it plausible? His words are no longer literary, but rough and full of quackery. Who are you Don't ask me why, let alone try to get to the bottom of it.Mr. Zhang is my friend, you should stay away from him and make friends, okay?you go!thanks! damn thing!You put it so easily.Master Zhu San yelled: So you are pretending to be a fucking pig and eating a tiger Eat dragon, don't get me wrong.He corrected the other party's speech. Nielong let out a roar, and quickly drew his sword out. The attack across the table was like a flash of lightning, and the sudden attack was so deep that the inner strength of Yujian was amazing. The gangster behind who lost his knife for no reason also fell down at the same time, with his arms spread out, trying to hug his legs and push him down to capture him. He jumped back with his right leg and swiped the knife in his hand at the same time. Flying back from the bench, the force of hitting the bandit was extremely fierce. The bandit screamed wildly, fell to the ground and struggled. Zheng!The knife shook the sword, and sparks flew everywhere. The attack collapsed in an instant, and the utensils on the table suffered greatly. Immediately, the dining table flew up and smashed into the second bandit, blocking the attack and effectively isolating the evil dragon Zhu Wu. The sword light is like electricity, the sword net shrinks under the weight of the dazzling sword mountain, unable to hand out any moves, can only minimize the defensive net circle to protect itself, precarious under the wild sword light, exit the door, retreat into the snow yard. The last sound of contact came out, followed by Nielong's exclamation, the sword's light suddenly retracted, and the sword's light retreated violently. boom!Nielong fell more than ten feet and then slid out, and there were traces of heavy objects sliding on the snow. A strong dragon does not overwhelm a local snake. I don't want to show off in your territory, but I don't want to be humiliated. You'd better be more acquainted.He threw the knife at Nielong's side: You three tigers, three giants, golden dragons and four kings are all thugs who have aroused public indignation with bloody cases. If you openly commit murder in such a big hotel that everyone is looking at, the consequences will be quite serious. Get out?snort! He can't get out.Voices came from the shadows in the corner of the courtyard, and the gray shadow suddenly appeared: there are hundreds of strange cases waiting for him to solve The evil dragon leaped up, pounced on the rushing gray shadow. With a sound of golden clang, Hui Ying dragged his knife and fled back ten feet away. What is your catcher Xue?One of the lackeys.The evil dragon rushed forward cursing, and his sword came out like a wild dragon raging in the sea. Xue Butou couldn't take back the knife that was swinging out of the side door, the sword came too fast, there was no other way but to wait for death, even if he wanted to dodge back, he was powerless. Zhang Qiushan arrived in a flash, blindingly fast, and kicked Nielong's right forearm holding the sword, the sword swung outwards sharply, and the tip swung away from Xue Toutou's left chest within a fraction of a centimeter. With two crackling sounds, Nielong received two quick slaps. roll!Zhang Qiushan scolded heavily and kicked quickly. Nielong was kicked two feet away, and fell back to the base of the courtyard wall. He was so frightened that his heart was terrified, and he flipped back and flew over the courtyard wall to escape. The two gangsters were very vigilant and quietly withdrew one step earlier than Nielong. Quickly leave Xue Butou, who was in shock, and yelled at Zhang Qiushan. fuck you!Zhang Qiushan yelled: You are called Hun, aren't you?Who did you ask to keep him? You don't help the public to handle the case Are you going to kill me?Um?Zhang Qiushan said mockingly: That evil dragon is really going to fight for his life, maybe he will cut me seventeen or eight swords in one breath, but you want me to help you handle the case, are you out of your mind? you move!Lord Gongren, there are many followers of the evil dragon, maybe these people are coming to meet him, if you don't leave, I'm afraid you will lose your life here.If you don't leave, I will leave. I can't afford to prevent disasters for you. It's your business to catch bandits. Xue Butou shivered and staggered away. Zhang Qiushan suddenly shivered. He felt the hairs all over his body stand on end. At the same time, a raging fire burst from his chest, like a beast about to unleash its might, about to open its teeth and claws to pounce on its prey. The sudden arousal of fear and rage is an extremely dangerous thing, the reaction will be extremely violent, and it is very likely to inspire a terrifying force to destroy everything. In the space, apart from the rustling wind and falling snowflakes, there is also the rustling sound of the autumn wind passing through the bamboo forest. Three palm-sized foreign objects are fluttering in the snowflakes, very much like three butterflies flying among the flowers , a trembling and strange atmosphere filled the entire courtyard. The anger that was about to explode suddenly dissipated. These extreme changes in his various emotions occurred in a very short moment, and it is inevitable to reveal them on the outside. Fortunately, it is dark night, these changes are only known to him, and it is absolutely difficult for people standing beside him to notice His mood swings and subtle changes in expression. He let out a strange cry, like a clay figurine soaked in water, fell down loosely, and immediately became a corpse-like living dead, or a drunkard who fell to the ground. Three flying butterflies leisurely disappeared in the corridor of another guest room at the west end of the courtyard. The weird and mysterious sounds also quietly disappeared. Two black shadows appeared at the entrance of the corridor, wearing long skirts that reached the floor, combed a palace bun, and added a strange thin silk cape that was black on the left and white on the right. Under the snowy light, one could tell that they were two women . take him away.The taller woman at the head gave an order to her companions who were dressed in the same clothes behind: "The person who can completely lose the power to fight back the fierce and brave Nielong in one breath must be very good, and it may be of great use. Let's feed it first." He is a pill to protect the heart and soul. Yes, big sister, this person is really useful.As the companion said, he stepped into the snow-covered yard and walked towards Zhang Qiushan: "The real man doesn't show his face. During the day, he looks gentle and gentle, like a scholar who is not very down-and-out. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be an expert as brave as a lion." A black shadow suddenly appeared beside Zhang Qiushan, arriving at the same time as the woman in the strange cloak, with Zhang Qiushan lying down in the middle, facing each other face to face, as if they were afraid to strike first, and there were scruples about each other in the dark night. At the courtyard entrance on the other side, there were also three graceful figures of women. Heiying was also a woman, but she was wearing a leather back coat, trousers and half-length fast boots, and a double bun, revealing a wild look all over her body, and she wore a gorgeously decorated dagger at her waist. She is young, lively, and masculine, and she is a wild girl who knows nothing about the heights of the sky and the earth, and is fearless. You feed him the Heart and Soul Pill first.野丫頭神氣十足地說：人不能讓你帶走，知道嗎？ damn it!穿怪披風的女人憤怒大罵：小潑婦，你知道你在向誰大呼小叫嗎？ Yo!你神氣什麼？野丫頭的嗓音又悅耳又俏皮：難道你是甚麼天地不容的惡靈妖魔，冤鬼邪煞，想活生生嚇死我嗎？ you wanna die!怪女人厲叫，怪披風一抖，右手拂出，猛地吐出一道帶有腥味的罡風勁流，盪開飄落的雪花，向野丫頭一湧而至。 你才找死！野丫頭的叫聲更高，挫馬步一掌拍出硬接，撲面而至的罡風勁流突然回頭返奔。 平空響起一聲刺耳的震爆，挾有微熱的掌勁如山洪倒瀉，勁道不算太威猛，但渾雄無匹，足以將帶有腥味的罡風功流逼得回頭返奔。 女性具有這種陽罡奇勁的人，確是罕見。 穿怪被風的女人大出意外，駭然變色，被震退出丈外，幾乎失足摔倒。 Huh!另一位怪女人驚呼，一閃即至。 二妹，怎麼了？女人扶住同伴急問。 手臂被震傷，這小賤婦可惡，大姐，斃了她！受傷的怪女人尖叫。 野丫頭身後，多了三個穿翠綠衣裙，外加輕狐裘的盛裝的女郎。 小佩，不可撒野。為首的披狐裘女郎似笑非笑地說：怎麼一出手就用絕學示威？ 娘，你沒看這女煞出其不意使用七煞陰風掌打我嗎？野丫頭大聲抗議。 怪女人大姐本來已接近至出手部位，正打算用可怕的絕學行雷霆一擊，卻被野丫頭的話嚇了一跳，原來對方已經知道己方的身分，二妹吃了虧顯然不是意外，知己不知彼，失敗自在意中。 你們是有意沖我陰陽雙煞來的。大姐色厲內荏厲聲問。 You are less smug!憑你兩個煞星女妖，還不配本姑娘找你們的晦氣。野丫頭小佩大聲說：但碰上你們行兇，就不能不管。這裏是旅店公眾活動的地方，你們竟然使用可發魔音亂人神智的暗器散魄消魂掌害人，為免傷害無辜，本姑娘有權出面干預，不服氣是嗎？ snort!你與這個冒充斯文姓張的人有何關連？ 本姑娘不認識他。 and you 本姑娘是後院的旅客。如果換了普通的人經過，即使不被魔音所震呆，也將被暗器所洩的散魄毒所毒害。把解藥護心保魄丹留下，你們走。 好大的口氣，你貴姓？little girl. 你可以到櫃檯上的流水簿去查。 原來是不敢亮名號的膽小鬼怪女人用上了激將法。 本姑娘姓葛，你記住就是，我叫葛佩如，你可以在江湖上找我，近期內本姑娘仍在江湖闖蕩。 你用什麼奇功絕學，震散了我二妹的七煞陰風掌？怪女人進一步探口風。 你去猜呀！要不，你可以出手試探。葛姑娘不上當，反而激對方出手：陰陽雙煞兇名賊著，威震江湖，從來就不饒人，今晚不至於兇性驟改，面對我一個野丫頭就改情變性吧？ 陰陽雙煞兩個狠女人，確是令江湖朋友喪膽的女煞星。 白天，她們的穿著打扮與常人無異；晚上出動，則穿上她們那半黑半白的怪衣裙，令人一見便心膽俱寒。 她們的為人，也令黑白正邪人士側目，任性而為，睚眥必報，出手狠毒，殺人如屠狗，下手不留情。 江湖朋友恨之入骨，加之心如蛇蠍，碰上了寧可忍氣吞聲，避道而走，是眾所公認的魔道高手。在江湖橫行十餘年，據說從沒碰上比她們更高明的敵手。 其實，江湖上高手名宿甚多，比她們高明的人她們避免招惹，當然不會碰敵手，她們都是非常聰明的人，所以一直都很幸運。 今晚，她們碰上了不怕她們的人。而且老二（二妹）被人一掌震退，封死了她的絕學七煞陰風掌。 以她們的經驗估計，一個小女孩已經夠她們頭疼，在旁的三個雍容華貴的女人，又是小女孩的長輩，彼此實力顯然太過懸殊，聰明人應該明時勢知利害有所取捨才是。 老娘今晚有事待辦，暫且不與你計較。怪女人聰明地打退堂鼓，語氣兇狠：我記住你了，日後，我們會和你姓葛的了斷今晚的過節，不死不休。 snort!you 小佩！rewind!貴婦突然急叫。 三個貴婦幾乎同時揮舞雙袖，無儔的罡風像狂飆乍起，形成強勁的風網，也像在身外圍颳起一陣驚人的龍捲風，她們在風中心向後不徐不疾撤退，退向三丈外的黑暗廊門。 小佩已退入三人的中心，退的身法快得驚人。 陰陽雙煞發出一聲刺耳的憤怒咒罵，兩人的披風也急劇旋舞，勁急的陰風激起陣陣強勁的氣旋，護住全身，也向客房的廊上退走。罡風呼嘯，雪花狂舞。 十餘個黑影跳牆而入，院牆上還有幾個，十餘個人同時以暗器行雷霆萬鈞的急襲，飛刀、袖箭、透風鏢、鐵蒺藜、追魂毒彈 各式各樣暗器齊飛，有些是專破內家氣功的霸道玩意，勢如狂風暴雨，向所有女人集中攢射，意圖將她們一舉盡殲。 張秋山躺倒在雪中，像是死人，不是暗器的目標，可能入侵的人並沒有發現他，即使發現，也不會有人向死人發射暗器。 他躺在那兒，本來就像一個死人。 十餘個黑影揮刀舞劍，一面發射暗器一面潮水似的快速衝進。 勁道足的暗器，一接近三個女人佈下的罡風勁網，紛紛斜飛或反彈，偶或有三兩道特別猛烈的暗器透網而入，近身也被葛小佩姑娘劈出的神奇掌力所擊落，入網後的勁道已滅弱了七八成，掌力一擊便墮。 退入廓門，四女的身影立即消失了。 陰陽雙煞的披風擊落了不少暗器，也消失在廊上的暗影裏。 十餘個黑影一陣大亂，但不敢衝入黑暗的房舍，急襲無功，怎敢再冒險深入？ 蘆哨急響，暴亂的人影紛紛由原路退走。 雪地裏，張秋山的身影不知何時消失了。
