Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Mid-Autumn Festival Feast Out of the Valley
Zhu Siniang snorted, ignored her, but glanced at the rest of the people, and said in a solemn voice: At present, our preparations have not been completed, and the secret of Tianxin Valley cannot be known to anyone, so , For those who are coming, no matter which side they belong to, or whether they are good or bad, they will be killed without mercy.
The voice was cold and majestic, which made people shudder.
After Liu Ziqi and others saluted in unison, Zhu Siniang looked at Tian Bin again, and said in a deep voice: Tian Bin, if you really want to work in Tianxin Valley, you can work harder later on!
This is equivalent to showing that Tian Bin can be allowed to stay in Tianxin Valley.
This situation made Zhu Shengnan secretly happy, and Tian Bin clasped his fists and bowed happily and said: Xiao Ke obeys orders.
Zhu Siniang said with a groan: "The action has already been taken over there. Now, everyone enters the valley road and obeys my orders."
They had just entered the valley road and hid their bodies, when the edge of the dense forest in the distance, a black shadow of a creeping figure appeared, moving forward slowly like a ghost in the dark night.
The distance was getting closer and closer, and Zhu Siniang and the others who were spying secretly could already vaguely see who was coming.
There were indeed ten people, and among the ten people, eight were strong men in black clothes and holding single knives.The other two are a half-century-old man in a short blue cloth jacket and a bronze long gown.
This ghostly procession stopped about three feet away from the valley crossing.
Walking in front of him, the old man in short clothes glanced all around, and exclaimed in amazement: Why is there no movement at all?
The old man in the long gown smiled and said, "Your brother still thinks it's a mountain spirit and sea monster?"
The old man in the short shirt smiled wryly, "Brother Jiang, although I seem to have heard someone talking, it is really unbelievable that it is already dark in this barren mountain and valley.
The old man in the long gown sneered slightly and said: So, your brother always thinks it's the mountain spirit and the sea monster who are causing the trouble?
The old man in short clothes smiled bitterly and said authentically: Even if it is not a mountain spirit or a sea monster, it is very likely that our ears have an illusion.
The old man in the long gown sneered and said: Then, people from both sides of us have disappeared in this Xuefeng mountain, how can we explain it?
Zhu Siniang, who was eavesdropping secretly, thought to herself: Good!It turns out that there are people from Invincible Castle
The old man in short clothes still smiled wryly and said: This
The old man in the long coat continued with a sneer: Also, I want to remind you, bro, the hunter at the foot of the mountain said that the two groups of people, in terms of time and number, coincided with the missing people of both you and me.
The short-clothed old man nodded and said: I know this.
Then, the old man in the long coat continued with a smile: Your brother must think that the voices of those people you heard just now are the ghosts of those we disappeared.
The old man in the short shirt smiled wryly, "Brother Jiang, I don't believe in the theory of ghosts. In fact, we have reached the end of the land, but we haven't seen anything."
It turns out that the entrance of Tianxin Valley is a small stream under a cloud-dispelling cliff. As for the only passage, it is covered by some miscellaneous trees and vines.
To put it bluntly, it is still night, and even in broad daylight, you can only see a deep and narrow ditch, which is eerie and daunting.
In this situation, who would have thought that there is a hidden hole in it, and would go in and take a look at it at the risk of the unknown!
It was also because of this that the old man in the short shirt had such a saying.
At this time, someone among the eight well-dressed men exclaimed in surprise: Blood!There is blood in the ground.
It turned out that Lu Zhengying and the others had just stood here for a while, and they noticed the blood dripping from the hunted birds and animals.
After inspection by the two half-centenarians, it was confirmed that it was blood, and it was also noticed that someone had fought here not long ago.
After pondering for a while, the old man in long clothes smiled at the old man in short clothes and said: Brother Xiang, what do you say now?
The old man in short clothes smiled and said: This matter is really a bit evil.
The old man in the long gown said: "Come on, let's take a look into the mountain pond."
The old man in the short shirt said hesitantly: Brother Jiang, what I mean is that it would be more appropriate to search after the people behind us arrive.
The old man in the long gown smiled and said: "Where did brother Xiang's pride in the past go?"
The old man in short clothes said solemnly: That's not the case, brother Jiang, since we have learned from the past, why don't we be more cautious!
A cold voice suddenly continued: If you want to be cautious, you shouldn't have come to Xuefeng Mountain!
Following these words, Tian Bin had already floated in front of them like a ghost. The old man in short clothes was first startled and said: Who are you?
Tian Bin smiled coldly and said, "Damn it!"
The short-clothed old man laughed angrily and said, "You mean, you want to take our lives?"
Tian Bin nodded and said: Not bad.
The old man in the long gown continued with deep eyes: We have never met before, let alone enmity, why did you want my life?
Because, Tian Bin shrugged his shoulders and said: I want to borrow your heads as a stepping stone for me to rise to the top.
After the short-clothed old man got very angry, he laughed and said: Good!Our head is ready-made, as long as you have the ability, just take it away.
Tian Bin continued with a smile: Then I thank you in advance!
The old man in the long robe also asked with a smile: Who are you going to dedicate our heads to?
Tian Bin smiled apologetically: I'm sorry, I don't know this question myself.
The short-clothed old man snapped angrily, "You bastard, you're so delusional, and you don't even ask, who are we?"
Tian Bin quickly continued: "By the way, thank you for reminding me. I haven't asked you for advice. What is the origin? Now, I respectfully ask for advice?"
The old man in short clothes sneered and said: You deserve it!
The old man who didn't have a long coat quickly continued: Brother Xiang, please be patient, let me ask him a few words first.
Then, he focused on Tian Bin, and said in a deep voice: "You are young, don't be too crazy, you must have a teacher's background?"
Tian Bin smiled and said: If I say that you are not worthy to ask, it would be too contemptuous of you.However, you'd better not ask.
The old man in Changshan smiled and said: Your madness is quite to my liking, but if you don't want to tell us your master's background, don't even want to know where we come from.
Tian Bin smiled lightly and said: Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't tell me, I already know where you are from, but I just don't know your professional titles and surnames.
The old man in long gown frowned and said: Is there such a thing?
The old man in short clothes paid attention and said: Tell me?
Tian Bin smiled coldly and said, "You two, one is the dog leg of Invincible Fort, and the other is the little bandit under the bandit leader Xi Menrui of the Southern Seven Provinces, isn't it?"
Tian Bin's guess was of course correct, which made the two old men dumbfounded and stunned on the spot.
In this situation, it is not difficult to imagine that Tian Bin's outspoken account of their background certainly surprised them, but made them even more horrified, but it was Tian Bin's defiant demeanor.Just imagine, anyone who runs around in the rivers and lakes, who doesn't know that the bandit leaders in Invincible Fort and Southern Seven Provinces are too difficult to provoke, and Tian Bin clearly knows that he is difficult to provoke, so he deliberately broke ground on Tai Sui's head. If Tian Bin went crazy, he must have something to rely on.
Thinking of those people who disappeared for no reason before, it will naturally make the two old men secretly terrified!
The old man in short clothes was shocked and forced, and had no time to understand the meaning of the other's ugly words, so he asked attentively: How did you know?
The old man in the long gown also asked at the same time: Since you know our origin, why do you still ask?
Tian Bin smiled lightly and said: Because, I don't know your positions yet.
The old man in long gown then asked: What does our position have to do with you?
Tian Bin smiled and said, "It's a big deal!"
After a pause, he continued with a smile: Didn't I just say that I want to use your talents as a foothold for me to rise to the top? Therefore, the higher the positions of the two of you, the greater the help you will give me. .
The self-cultivation skills of the old man in the long gown are really good. In this situation, he actually asked with a smile: What position do you want us to have?
Tian Bin seemed to be listening to something, and after pondering for a while, he responded casually: I hope you, preferably the first-level protector of Invincible Fortress, as for this one
He raised his hand and pointed to the old man in short clothes: I hope he is the sole helmsman.
Obviously, Tian Bin was accepting Zhu Siniang's voice transmission instruction, otherwise, he wouldn't be so clear about the other party's job title.
The old man in the long gown smiled and said: "Your luck is very good, but I don't know if your skills can match your good luck."
Tian Bin asked with a smile: "Could it be that the two of you are really the kind of positions I imagined?"
The old man in the long gown said: Although the old man is not a first-level protector, he is almost the same as a first-level protector.
Tian Bin continued with a smile: Is that a second-level protector?
The old man in long gown nodded and said: Not bad.
Finally, it is not satisfactory.After Tian Bin laughed mockingly at himself, he asked the old man in short clothes: So, what about this one?
The old man in short clothes sneered and said: The old man will not disappoint you, he is also a sub-ruler, and he is the new sub-ruler of Sanxiang area.
Tian Bin laughed loudly and said: My luck is not bad. As for whether kung fu can match this good luck, please wait and see!
After saying that, with a shua sound, a trembling soft knife shaped like a willow leaf and about three feet long was pulled out from his waist.
His soft knife is obviously made of high-quality Burmese iron, but judging from its appearance as clear as autumn water and its trembling condition, its sharpness may not be inferior to a famous ancient sword.
Because of this, as soon as the knife was out of its sheath, the old man in the long gown immediately praised: "Good knife!"I hope you're not here to give gifts.
He said it easily, but the horror in his heart was even more serious.
Because he is an expert himself, and to use this kind of soft, trembling soft knife, he must have superb internal skills. The current Tian Bin, judging from his appearance, is no more than twenty years old at most, and he actually uses a soft knife. It's not hard to imagine his brilliance.
Although the two old men were shocked in secret, Zhu Siniang and the others who were peeping in the dark couldn't help but frowned because although Zhu Siniang had already seen Tian Bin's prowess, he didn't expect him to. It's so high that it can make a soft knife.
Therefore, as soon as Tian Bin's soft knife was out of its sheath, everyone's attention was focused on him, both in the open and in the dark, especially Zhu Shengnan, but seeing her beautiful eyes shining in the dark night, Even his breathing became short of breath.
Tian Bin smiled lightly and said: "Old man, don't be joking, let's use your weapons!"
The old man in the long gown smiled coldly, and took out a steel fine dry pipe from his waist, but the old man in the short gown said first: Brother Jiang, the stupid bird flies first, let me do it first.
Then, he turned his head and shouted in a deep voice: the knife comes.With a flash of coldness, a machete weighing more than fifty catties flew into his hand.
This situation does not mean that the sub-rudder master is arrogant, and his own weapons need to be carried by his subordinates, but in fact, it is really inconvenient to carry such a heavy weapon by himself.
He took the machete, weighed it and said: "Boy, make a move!"
Tian Bin still said casually: "I think, let's go together!"
The old man in short clothes yelled angrily: "Little bastard, you are too crazy."
call!With a sound, a knife swept over.
Don't look at Tian Bin's indifferent demeanor, but when things came to an end, he didn't dare to strike lightly at this thunderous knife.
I saw his body fluttering, and he was out of the power circle of the opponent's blade, and he laughed and said: "It seems to be a few catties of brute force."
Before he finished speaking, the old man in short clothes roared fiercely, followed the saber forward, slanted his shoulders to the ground, and slashed down with force.
However, the knife was far away, but with a bang, it had already been chopped firmly on the rock, sparks splashed everywhere, but Tian Bin's clear voice came from behind: "Old man, what are you doing with the stone, little boy?" Lord is here!
The short-clothed old man is not only amazing in brute strength, but also excellent in his body skills and quick changes in moves. Therefore, before Tian Bin finished speaking, he swept over with a whirring sound from his body and arms, and thus, he quickly attacked with a knife. , and also showed a series of fierce attacks one after another.
This time, Tian Bin didn't say a word or joke, amidst the howling wind and the blazing blades, he was seen drifting around the ground, moving and flashing within a radius of more than ten feet, appearing light and graceful.
Maybe he deliberately showed off his extraordinary skills in front of his future master and sweetheart. In the first ten moves, he never fought back. After the ten moves passed, he laughed and said: As a bandit leader who is at the helm, You can do it, old man, if you have any skills at the bottom of the box, hurry up and use them!
The old man in the long gown at the side seemed to have seen that the situation in front of him was not good, he tightened the steel pipe in his hand, and turned his head and said something to the big man pretending to be vigorous, and saw the strong Pretending to be a big man, he nodded respectfully, turned around and ran away.
But before he ran two feet away, a dog barked from the shadows, and a gray shadow shot towards him.
Instinctively, he swung the single saber in his hand, and slashed head-on at the gray shadow. Half way through the saber, he let out a scream, fell to the ground with his head in his arms, and rolled wildly.
It turned out that the gray shadow was a giant dog as big as a calf.
Although this kind of giant dog is called a dog, its temperament is cruel, its strength is great, and its agility is not inferior to an ordinary leopard, especially after Zhu Siniang's special training, it is even more ferocious.Therefore, when the big man in hard clothes slashed at it head-on, he not only swiped his sharp claws and sent the steel knife flying, but also grabbed the face of the man in hard clothes so that he was out of shape, and it hurt so much Rolling all over the floor.
However, the giant dog was unreasonable, and with a tiger pounce, it bit the big man's Adam's apple, making the big man only uttered half a miserable howl before he was punished.
These were originally just what happened in an instant when the well-dressed man was ordered to leave.
When the half-scream of the well-dressed man made the hairs of his companions stand on end, Zhu Siniang's cold words came out from the shadows: "You guys, why didn't you run away?"run!Whoever can run more than five feet away, I will spare his life.
It's really evil to say it, although those big men in strong clothes were terrified and wanted to escape, but those two legs seemed to have taken root, and they couldn't move an inch.
At the same time, Tian Bin also smiled lightly and said: "Old thief!"Since your skills stop here, I don't bother to talk to you anymore!
Immediately afterwards, a voice shouted: Let go!
The old man in short clothes was really obedient, his words flew away, and the machete weighing fifty catties flew ten feet away with a whistling sound.
The old man in the long gown shouted loudly: Brother Xiang, don’t be surprised, I’ll help you!
Tian Bin sneered and said: You won't live much longer!
As soon as the words were spoken, the head of the old man in short clothes had rolled off by Zhang Xu, and at the same time, he kicked the headless corpse and flew towards the old man in long clothes who was rushing towards him.
The old man in the long gown didn't care about the blood splashing all over his body, he turned the headless dead body aside on the left, and launched a series of rushing attacks with the steel fine dry tobacco rod in his right hand like a storm.
Clang, clang, clang!
Amid the deafening sound of gold and iron, Tian Bin laughed and said: The masters from Invincible Fort are extraordinary after all, much better than that bandit leader just now!
It seems that this is not an exaggeration, because once the old man in the long gown made a move, he let go of the attack with both hands quickly, and the two sides were as lively as dragons and tigers, and it was difficult to distinguish between them.
While beating, the old man in long gown said in a deep voice: That expert who spoke in secret just now, please show up and answer.
But his words, apart from the echo of thousands of valleys and peaks, did not have any other reaction.
The old man in the long gown shouted angrily: Hiding in the turtle's nest and venturing out, what kind of hero is he?
Tian Bin laughed loudly and said: "Old man, you'd better not say a few words!"It won't do you any good to annoy her old man.
The old man in the long gown asked: Judging from her tone, it seems that she is not very old, but you actually call her an old man?
Tian Bin said: Not bad!Her old man is not very old. The reason why I call her an old man is to express my heartfelt admiration.
The old man in long gown then asked: Who is that?
Tian Bin smiled and said: In my opinion, you are still the same as your companions, go and ask Lord Yan for advice.
The old man in the long gown sneered, "Little bastard, it's not certain who we want to kill!"
Tian Bin smiled and said: But I conclude that you are dead.
Following the words, the soft knife in his hand followed the opponent's sweeping move, borrowing the knife to make a sudden touch of the knife, making the steel fine dry tobacco rod in the old man's hand almost fly away.
But the skill of the old man in the long gown is indeed extraordinary, he actually took advantage of the momentum of the weapon in his hand to fly away, shot a few feet away, touched the ground with his toes, turned upside down again, and flew towards him.
Because, in the eyes of onlookers, only two figures can be seen, separated by touch, separated and reunited, and immediately they are fighting together again, and Tian Bin's clear voice comes out: I really can't see it. , you are much stronger than the one just now!
In the shadows, Zhu Siniang's voice came out again: Tian Bin, are you sure to complete the mission?
Tian Bin nodded resolutely and said: Yes
Zhu Siniang's voice followed up and asked: How many tricks are needed?
Tian Bin said: "From now on, within fifty strokes, you will definitely get the head of this old man."
The old man in the long gown shouted angrily: "Dream!"
Tian Bin laughed and said: Old man, you have no chance to dream!
Shua, Shua, Shua.With three stabs in a row, the old man in the long gown was forced to back again and again, and he sneered and said: "The tiger doesn't show its power, you really treat him as a sick cat. To tell you the truth, you can live until now, because I am teasing you for fun. Now, you You should know what I said is true.
In the voice, the old man in the long gown has already lost the power to fight back, and can only retreat again and again.
At this moment, Tian Bin really showed his color, a soft knife made him appear and disappear, not only changed the face of the old man in long gown, but also made Zhu Siniang, who was peeping secretly, frown, and asked Lin Zhong through voice transmission : Lin Zhong, have you seen Tian Bin's martial arts skills?
Lin Zhong smiled wryly and replied via voice transmission: To be honest, my lord, my brothers usually have a lot of responsibility to distinguish the ways of different sects and sects, but for Tian Bin's martial arts, they can't see any connections.
At this time, the old man was forced to back up, and said in secret language to the seven big Hans in the field: I must divide life and death today, you guys leave quickly.
This is really a word to remind the person in the dream that the remaining seven strong-dressed men rushed away with a whistling sound.
However, it is really hard to believe that since the giant gray dog culled the big men pretending to be big, it sat aside, except for a pair of green eyes, scanning the seven big men pretending to be from time to time. Besides, there seemed to be no trace of hostility.
But when the seven burly men in strong suits roared and rushed away, it made a barking sound, and rushed towards the frontmost burly man in strong suits as if it was flying off the string.
Immediately afterwards, gray shadows flew vertically and horizontally, and five giant dogs rushed from the shadows. Amidst a burst of barking and howling, in a short while, none of the seven well-dressed men died tragically on the spot.
This situation made the old man in the long gown, who was already at a disadvantage, feel cold in his heart, but the moves in his hands, because of his desperate efforts, seemed to be crazy, instead of sluggish, they became more fierce.
Although it sounds like a long story, in fact, it only took a moment from the time the old man in long gown ordered the seven big men in strong clothes to escape until the seven big men in strong clothes were all wiped out by the giant dog.
Tian Bin looked at the other party's crazy state, and couldn't help but sneered and said: "Old man, the previous tricks don't count. The fifty tricks have already passed thirty tricks. You are already full of face. Now
After a pause, he shouted in a deep voice: It's time for you to donate your head.
As soon as the words fell, there was a crackling sound, and half of the steel fine tobacco rod in the hands of the old man in the long gown was cut off.
The old man in the long gown knew that he would not be spared, so in anger, he shot Tian Bin's chest with the half-section of the fine steel pipe in his hand.
This move can be regarded as unexpected, the distance is short, and his skill is very good. Under normal circumstances, his surprise attack can be succeeded.But the opponent he met was really clever, Tian Bin sneered, the half of the fine steel dry tobacco rod was in his left hand, and at the same time, the soft knife in his right hand also flew down.
Just when there was no room for death, Zhu Siniang suddenly shouted loudly: "Keep people under the sword!"
After all, the old man in long gown has a long life, and Tian Bin's kung fu is close to the state of sending and receiving freely. His flying knife, the moment the blade's edge touched the old man's neck, actually only hurt a little skin, and he was forced to stop. Living.
The fragrant wind blew in front of them, and the figure flashed. Zhu Siniang was already standing eight feet in front of them. Immediately afterwards, Zhu Shengnan, Zhu Yanan, Lu Zhengying, Liu Ziqi, Lin Zhong and others also appeared one after another.
The old man in the long gown seemed to be a little bit unconvinced that he was still alive, and subconsciously raised his hand to touch his head.
In this situation, Tian Bin couldn't help grinning and said: Don't touch it, the head is still yours.
Then, he turned around and clasped his fists to Zhu Siniang, saying: "My lord, have you passed the exam?"
Zhu Siniang grunted and said: You have already been admitted.
Tian Bin couldn't help beaming with joy, bowed deeply and said: Thank you, Lord.
This scene, this conversation, made the old man in long gown understand who is the owner of this place. He gathered his mind, glanced around, and then focused on Zhu Siniang's serious face and asked: This lady, must be the owner of this place?
Zhu Siniang nodded and said: That's right.
The old man in long gown then asked: Why didn't you kill me?
Zhu Siniang continued coldly: I think I should be of use to you.
The old man in the long gown was puzzled and frowned, Zhu Siniang then asked, "What's your name?"
Zhu Siniang's tone was not sharp, but she was not angry and arrogant, which made the old man in long gown irresistible and respectful: My surname is Jiang, and my name is Ziyu.
Lin Zhong on the side then asked: Jiang Ziyu?Could it be Jiang Ziyu, the Changbai Bear outside Megatron Pass?
Jiang Ziyu nodded and smiled wryly: Now, he has become a veritable bear.After a pause, he continued with attention: "Who is your honor?"
Zhu Siniang answered coldly: We will talk about your words later.
yes.Both Lin Zhong and Jiang Ziyu couldn't help but respectfully responded, but Zhu Siniang paid attention and asked: Jiang Ziyu, is he really the second-level guardian of the Invincible Castle?
Jiang Ziyu nodded and said: Yes.
Zhu Siniang then asked: How long have you been in Invincible Fort?
Jiang Ziyu respectfully replied: It has been seven years.
Zhu Siniang whispered to herself: It's only been seven years, no wonder you don't know me.
Jiang Ziyu's heart moved, and he asked in a low voice: Is Madam also
Zhu Siniang interrupted and said, "I won't ask many questions for the time being."
After a pause, he asked attentively again: Jiang Ziyu, do you want to live?
Jiang Ziyu smiled wryly: Madam, ants are greedy for life
Zhu Siniang answered in a deep voice: "Stop talking!Quickly answer my question.
Jiang Ziyu nodded and said: Of course I want to live.
Zhu Siniang said: If you want to survive, you should listen to my arrangement.
Jiang Ziyu repeatedly promised: Yes, yes
Now, I ask you.Zhu Siniang said with deep eyes: You, who are still not catching up?
Jiang Ziyu replied solemnly: There are also third-level protectors, one fourth-level protector, twelve warriors in black clothes, and one guide.
Zhu Siniang then asked: Is this guide the Orion who gave you information?
Jiang Ziyu shook his head and said: No, this guide was hired separately.
Zhu Siniang said: "How far is that hunter's house from here?"
Jiang Ziyu replied thoughtfully: It's about thirty miles or more.
Zhu Siniang turned her head and said to Zhu Shengnan: Shengnan, you lead the two guards and four giant dogs, Jiang Ziyu leads the way, catch up and kill those fifteen people together.
Zhu Shengnan responded coquettishly: Yes!
Zhu Siniang continued in a deep voice: Don't let go of the guide's family and the hunter's family.
yes!
Also, pay attention to clean up the scene, and don't leave a trace!
yes!
Zhu Siniang waved her hand and said, "Okay, let's go right away!"
Jiang Ziyu was startled and said: Madam also tap my acupuncture points?
Zhu Siniang said with a smile: "Jiang Ziyu, you have seen and experienced the situation just now. Here, letting out a dog here is much smarter than you. I'm still afraid that you will run away!"
After a pause, he smiled lightly and said: If you don't believe me, you might as well try running around to see.
Jiang Ziyu hastily continued: I dare not!
Zhu Siniang frowned and said: This is the next word, I don't feel comfortable hearing it, so let's follow them and call yourself a subordinate for the time being!
Jiang Ziyu respectfully promised again and again: "Yes, yes, my subordinates obey."
Zhu Siniang waved her hands and said: You should go.
Walk!
Watching Zhu Shengnan leading the two guards, Jiang Ziyu, and the four giant dogs quickly disappear into the dark night, Zhu Siniang gave Liu Ziqi instructions: Liu Ziqi, you are the chief and deputy directors, supervise Da Huang and Xiao Huang, and clean up the scene here Well, don't leave a trace.
Liu Ziqi respectfully replied: "Your subordinates obey!"
Zhu Siniang waved to Lu Zhengying and Zhu Yanan and said: Let's go back first.
Lu Zhengying muttered, "My lord, my subordinates also want to stay and help them clean up the scene."
Zhu Siniang nodded indifferently and said: That's fine.
After finishing speaking, he held his beloved daughter's shoulders and walked slowly towards the valley.
At present, besides the two golden baboons, Da Huang and Xiao Huang, there were only three people left, including Lu Zhengying, Liu Ziqi, and Wang Renjie.
Since entering Tianxin Valley, it is very rare for the three of them to get along without the fourth person beside them. Therefore, when they watched the figures of Zhu Siniang's mother and daughter disappear into the dark night, Lu Zhengying first let out a long sigh and said: In the past few months, we have been living as if in a dream.
Wang Renjie smiled wryly: I hope this is a sweet dream.
Lu Zhengying sighed lightly and said: Looking at the situation, it is hard to say whether it is a good dream or a bad dream.
Liu Ziqi smiled bitterly and said: Don't forget to work, let's talk while doing it.
Therefore, the three men and two beasts immediately began to clean up the scene, and Liu Ziqi said meaningfully: "I think the environment is not bad. At present, we don't need to talk about anyone, and we don't need to think about it. We will do our best to practice martial arts well. It is imperative.
Wang Renjie said with a smile: Let's talk about something else.Brother Liu, what do you think of the new Tian Bin?
Liu Ziqi smiled and said: This person's martial arts are superb, compared to the two young ladies, I'm afraid he is not much inferior.
Wang Renjie continued with a smile: Brother Liu, what I mean is his personality!
Liu Ziqi's expression was complete and he said: "Brother Taiwan, sit quietly and think about it, let's gossip and talk about people's mistakes. At this moment, we'd better do more and talk less."
Wang Renjie smiled embarrassedly and said: "My little brother wrote it down."
Since Tian Bin entered Tianxin Valley, the relationship between Zhu Shengnan and Lu Zhengying seemed to be even more disharmonious, but Lu Zhengying didn't care about this. All his energy was pinned on practicing martial arts, even for that Zhu Yanan, who has always been affectionate to him, has no illusions in his mind.
About a month after the Dragon Boat Festival, Zhu Siniang suddenly announced that, except for the martial arts of the two generals and the chief and deputy chief, who would continue to be taught by Zhu Shengnan, Lu Zhengying would be trained by herself in order to achieve the goal of quick success.
This is great news for Lu Zhengying.
Because although Lu Zhengying felt that his skills were constantly improving, he didn't know to what extent he had improved because he didn't have the opportunity to test it.
Now that Zhu Siniang has been trained by herself, thinking on the bright side, it means that everything about Zhu Shengnan has been passed on to him, and he must go to a higher level of education.
Taking a step back, even if there is a deviation in this conception, I will be much more relaxed mentally if I don't have to look at Zhu Shengnan's cold evening face and strange eyes every day.
Therefore, no matter from which angle you look at it, this news is worthy of Lu Zhengying's excitement.That night, after Zhu Siniang inspected Lu Zhengying's homework, she nodded approvingly and said, "In just four months, it's a miracle to have achieved such an achievement, but there are still some problems."
She paused, and then asked with deep eyes: Do you yourself understand the origin of this miracle?
Lu Zhengying continued with a smile: "This is because the young lady taught me well."
Zhu Siniang interrupted: No, this is only one of the reasons, there are three other main reasons, can you think of them?
Lu Zhengying was stunned and said: "This subordinate is so stupid that he still wants the Lord to show it clearly!"
Zhu Siniang groaned and said: First, it's your excellent aptitude and endowment; second, it's because you have a deep hatred in your heart, and you work hard without sleep; third, and the most important reason is that you have been taking medicine. A thousand-year-old stone fungus, an elixir produced in this valley.In addition, Wannian Wenyu is often used as a bed, which is also one of the reasons.
Lu Zhengying was startled again and said, "My lord, what is a thousand-year-old stone fungus?"
Zhu Siniang said: "It's the slippery thing that Second Miss gave you."
Lu Zhengying couldn't help but Jun blushed and said: So the Lord Ling knew about it a long time ago.
Zhu Siniang snorted and said: If I don't even know the actions of you little brats, what kind of martial arts dominance do I deserve?
Lu Zhengying smiled sheepishly, Zhu Siniang snorted again and said: I solemnly warn you, I have the power to make you a martial arts master with few opponents in the shortest time, and I also have the power to kill you with a single move. You ruin it!
Lu Zhengying didn't understand the meaning of the other party's words, so he could only claim to be right in a daze.
Zhu Siniang continued in a deep voice: "The second lady's love for you is as high as the mountain and as deep as the sea. If one day, if you fail her, you have to be careful that I will kill you alive."
Lu Zhengying could only answer this question blankly.
Zhu Siniang continued with her beautiful eyes intently: Now, I will start to teach you the second stage of martial arts, you have to listen carefully
It is not too slow to live the tense days. With the flick of a finger, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival and August with the refreshing golden breeze and the fragrance of laurel.
Perhaps it was Zhu Siniang's extermination method that had the expected effect. In the three months from the Dragon Boat Festival to the Mid-Autumn Festival, Tianxin Valley did not receive any disturbance from outside.
On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, an unprecedented grand banquet was held in Tianxin Valley. This grand banquet did not mean a large number of people and a big scene, but a fusion and relaxation of the atmosphere.
Because, in this banquet, Zhu Siniang broke the boundary between master and servant for the first time, sitting at the same table regardless of position, and for the first time there was a cheerful smile on her indifferent pretty face.
As for the number of people in this grand banquet, counting from Zhu Siniang's mother and daughter who are the lords, followed by the two escorts, the chief and deputy chiefs, as well as Lu Zhengying and Tian Bin who have not yet been assigned, and Jiang Ziyu who is still a prisoner , a total of ten.
When the wine was half drunk, Zhu Siniang raised her glass with a smile and said: "Everyone, please cheers, I have something important to announce."
After everyone drank a toast, Zhu Siniang said with a serious face: Everyone, starting tomorrow, Tianxin Valley will be temporarily closed for a period of time.
Zhu Yanan first asked with a smile: Mother, are we going to venture into the rivers and lakes?
Zhu Siniang nodded and said: The correct way to say it is that I, the lord, should officially perform my duties.
Zhu Yanan patted his jade palm and laughed: Ah!That's great!Very good!
Zhu Siniang looked at Liu Ziqi and said, "You are chief and deputy managers, after the banquet is over."Immediately set off, go to nearby villages and towns, hire hundreds of peasants, and charter a river boat in advance, and put it straight to Xiakou.
Liu Ziqi was stunned and said, "My lord, do you want to take those giant dogs away too?"
Zhu Siniang said: Of course I have to take it away.
Liu Ziqi said: Then we must hire big boats, but big boats have to be found in Baoqing Mansion.
Zhu Siniang pondered and said, "If you go to Baoqing by land, you will be amazed by bringing these animals. In terms of management, it is really inconvenient. In my opinion, it is better to hire a few more boats in Longtan. It is more appropriate to change to a larger ship.
Liu Ziqi nodded his head and said: What the Lord sees is very true.
Zhu Shengnan then asked: Mother, I heard that Xiakou is a very prosperous place?
Zhu Siniang nodded her head and said: Yes, Xiakou is not only a very prosperous place, but also has a moderate location with convenient water and land transportation, making it the most suitable place for a martial arts overlord to reside in.
Liu Ziqi frowned and said: After we giant dogs and golden baboons arrived at Xiakou, it was not easy to find a place to settle down in a short time.
Zhu Siniang smiled mysteriously: I have already made arrangements for this, so you don't need to worry about it.
Zhu Shengnan frowned and said: Mom, I have a question, I don't know if I should say it or not?
Zhu Siniang said with a smile: "In front of my mother, there is nothing else I can't say."
Zhu Siniang said with deep eyes, "Mother, what I mean is that our manpower seems to be too small.
Zhu Siniang smiled and said: "It's impossible to rule the entire martial arts world with the dozen or so of us, but I have made arrangements for this issue three years ago, when I arrived in Xiakou.There are enough people, just give us control.
Zhu Yanan smiled and said: Mother, you are really too mysterious.
Zhu Siniang replied casually: "Really, I don't think so at all."
After a short pause, he continued with a serious face: This is the decision, starting from here, until Xiakou, all matters big and small will be handled by General Manager Liu under the order of the young lady.
Liu Ziqi respectfully replied: "Your subordinate obeys orders."
Zhu Shengnan asked in surprise: Mom, don't you care about things?
Zhu Siniang smiled and said: I'm going by land alone.
Zhu Yanan asked with a smile: Mother, why do you want to travel by land alone?
Zhu Siniang said with a complete expression: "Don't ask too many questions, just help your sister escort the boat together."
Then, focusing on Lu Zhengying, he asked: Do you know where Ximenrui's main rudder is located?
Liu Ziqi took the lead to answer: "Lingzhu, Ximenrui's chief rudder is in Ehugou about a hundred miles away from here."
Zhu Siniang answered coldly: I didn't ask you.
Liu Ziqi hurriedly got up and apologized with a smile: "Return to the Lord, because Zhengying didn't know where it was, so his subordinates answered on his behalf."
sit down.Zhu Siniang stared at Lu Zhengying, and then asked: Now, you already know?
Lu Zhengying replied loudly: Yes, I already know.
Zhu Siniang continued in a deep voice: Then, I order you to go to the main helm of Ximenrui now.
Lu Zhengying couldn't help the strange light flashing in his eyes and said: Do you want me to kill that Ximen Rui?
No!朱四娘連忙接道：我知道西門銳是你的殺父仇人，我也主張有恩報恩，有仇報仇，但目前，我還要利用西門銳，可不許你殺他。
呂正英殊感失望地，接問道：令主，要到何時才能殺那老賊呢？
朱四娘道：等他利用完了之後，我自然會告訴你。
呂正英無可奈何地點點頭道：屬下遵命。
朱四娘忍不住笑道：遵什麼命？我的話還沒說完呢。
接著，才神色一整道：你傳我的七殺令命令西門銳，以他南七省綠林盟主的身份，散發武林貼，分別通知天下武林各門各派，和無門無派的黑白兩道群豪，於明年元旦，齊赴夏口本令主行宮，聽候差遣！
呂正英正容答道：屬下記下了。
朱四娘道：關於七殺令權杖，出發之前，我再交給你。
呂正英又恭應了一聲，朱四娘正容接道：記著，除了不能殺西門銳之外，你可以盡一切手段，迫使西門銳就範。
這幾句話，總算使殊感失望的呂正英，精神為之一振，連忙答道：是！yes!
劉子奇向著朱四娘囁嚅地說道：令主，屬下有有個請求，尚尚望令主格外成全。
朱四娘冷然說道：有話就痛痛快快地說。
yes!劉子奇滿懷希望地接道：令主，關於西門銳就那總舵之行，請令主由屬下與王人傑二人當中，派出一人，隨同呂正英前往。
朱四娘漠然地問道：為什麼？
劉子奇恭應道：回令主，因為呂正英武功雖已大成，卻毫無江湖經驗
朱四娘冷然截口道：江湖經驗，是必須自己闖出來的才稱得珍貴，此事應毋庸再議！
呂正英也正容說道：劉伯伯請放心，我自己會小心的。
朱亞男嬌笑道：娘，讓我陪他去吧。
朱四娘笑道：你根本不曾出過門，難道你的江湖經驗，還會多過呂正英不成！
朱亞男嬌笑如故地接道：娘，有兩個在一起，也好互相照應呀！
朱四娘臉色一沉道：不行，你還是乖乖地幫你姐姐押船。
朱亞男嘟著小嘴不依地唔了一聲，半空中忽然傳出一聲刺耳雕鳴。
為了便於賞月，他們的酒席，是擺在谷中的中央，這時時近子夜，萬里無雲，星稀月朗，視線至為清晰遼闊。
當他們聽到這聲刺耳雕鳴之後，不約而同地一齊循聲仰視，只見百十丈的高空，一隻碩大無比的青雕，正在盤旋飛翔著。
這情形，使得朱亞男脫口歡呼道：啊！好大的鳥兒！
呂正英卻咦了一聲道：那上面還有人哩！
朱四娘唔了一聲道：不錯，那是一個身著青衣的男人。
她的話聲未落，那雕背上的人，發出一聲清朗敵笑道：想不到這雪峰中，還有這等洞天福地，今宵倒真是大開眼界了呢。
朱四娘冷然仰首凝視，沒有接腔。
那雕背上的人又朗聲笑道：地靈人傑，信不我欺，能住在這等世外桃源中的人，必然是絕代高人啦！
朱四娘這才嬌笑一聲道：閣下乘飛禽，御長風，出入青冥，瞬息千里，塵世之中，縱有高人，也高不過你閣下呀！
雕背上人哈哈大笑道：夫人過獎了！在下是道地的俗人，不過，中秋佳節，遇此世外桃源的絕代高人，也想附庸風雅一番，不知夫人能否賞我一杯美酒？
朱四娘冷冷地一笑道：這兒是世外桃源，也是龍潭虎穴，只要你有膽量，盡量下來就是。
雕背上人哈哈大笑道：夫人毋須激將，在下既入寶山，豈能空手而回，所以，縱然這兒是龍潭虎穴，在下也得闖上一闖！
話落，那隻青雕，斂翼俯衝而下，在離地十來丈處，一道人影飄落地面，而青雕卻同時展翅沖霄而上飛，仍然在谷頂上空，環繞飛翔。
那由雕背上飄落的人，是一位面相清臞，有著三絡長鬚的青衫文士。看情形，年紀最多不過四旬。
青衫文士剛剛飄落地面，朱四娘首先冷笑一聲道：閣下勇氣可嘉林忠，賞他一杯美酒！
yes!林忠隨手一揮，面前那有著半杯剩酒的酒杯，立即向著青衫文士冉冉地飛去，並淡淡地一笑道：半杯剩酒，不成敬意，閣下多包涵。
話聲一落，酒杯也到了青衫文士面前。
青衫文士冷笑一聲道：多謝厚賜！
話聲中，徐伸右手，向那酒杯接去。
但酒杯才入手中，卻是臉色突然一變，踉蹌地連退五大步，才勉強拿穩站穩，杯中剩酒，也幾乎發散殆盡。
林忠與那青衫文士的距離，至少在三丈以上，姑且算那青衫文士是一個不懂得武功的普通人，在如此距離之下，有借一雙冉冉徐飛的酒杯，將其震退，則目前林忠身手的高明，已不難想見了。
青衫文士的臉色還沒恢復過來，朱四娘已目注冷然問道：你是否來自無敵堡？
青衫文士一怔道：夫人怎會知道的？
朱四娘哼了一聲道：想當然耳！
一頓話鋒，又目注問道：你在無敵堡身任何職？
青衫文士像一隻鬥敗的公雞似的，無精打采地苦笑道：不瞞夫人說
朱四娘冷然接口道：叫令主！
這位青衫文士，算得上識時務，可能是方才林忠敬酒的手法，嚇破了他的苦膽，此時，他竟然是無比馴順地，連忙改口道：是，是不瞞令主說，在下才進入無敵堡還沒分派職務。
朱四娘注目問道：你此行是否有所為而來？
青衫文士點首接道：是的，在下是因探查無敵堡在這地區失蹤的人而來，能查出端倪來，才能正式量才錄用。
朱四娘已由對方的神情語氣中，斷定所言不虛，於是，神色略為緩和地說道：你的運氣不壞，此行任務算是完成了，也是第一個能生離天心谷的外人。
青衫文士訝問道：難道那些失蹤的人，都與令主有關。
朱四娘點首接道：不錯。
青衫文士接道：那些人去哪兒了呢？
朱四娘冷然接道：都殺光了！所以，我說你是第一個能生離天心谷的外人。
聽到自己無生命危險，青衫文士的神態，已安詳得多了，他一蹙眉峰道：令主格外開恩，饒我不死，想必另有作用吧？
朱四娘沉思接道：是的，兩件事要你幫忙，第一，將你所乘青雕，奉獻給我，作為代步之用。
青衫文士連連點首道：沒問題，青雕業已通靈，只要在下交代它幾句就行了。
那我先謝了。朱四娘含笑接道：我也不會白要你的東西。
接著，目注劉子奇說道：劉總管，待會兒賞他明珠兩顆，白璧一雙。
劉子奇點首恭喏道：屬下記下了。
也許是因為獲靈禽代步，可以出入青冥，瞬息千里，朱四娘的心情，顯得頗為開朗，目注青衫文士笑問道：你，願意替我效勞嗎？
青衫文士連忙諂笑道：令主如有所差遣，在下赴湯蹈火，在所不辭。
朱四娘正容接道：那麼，我要你重回無敵堡，替我暗中監視堡中的一切活動。
青衫文士一怔道：令主，這事情有點不妥當，在下生命不足惜，如果貽誤令主大事
朱四娘截口問道：此話怎講？
青衫文士苦笑道：令主試想，在下行此是查出端倪來了，但以往的人，無一生還，唯獨在不能活著回去，何況所乘雲禽又被扣留，無敵堡堡主，又怎會相信我的話呢。
朱四娘笑了笑道：你說的固然有道理，但我自有安排，不過。此處安排，你可得吃點苦頭。
青衫文士諂笑道：只要能完成令主所交待的任務，在下吃點苦頭，自然算不了什麼！
朱四娘笑道：說是說得夠好聽的，但不知有幾分誠意？
青衫文士正容說道：在下完全是一片至誠。
那麼，朱四娘向他含笑招手道：你站到我面前來。
青衫文士懷著一顆忐忑的心，走向朱四娘身前，含笑問道：令主有何吩咐？
朱四娘淡然一笑道：就是我方才所說，要你幫忙的第二件事情。
話落手起，一聲慘號過處，青衫文士的一條左臂，已被她活生生地扯了下來。
她若無其事地，將手中斷臂向旁邊一扔，目注劉子奇笑了笑道：劉總管，替他止血上藥。
劉子奇暗中直喊作孽，但口中卻連連恭應道：是，是
這青衫文士的武功，顯然不在原先的青城雙矮現為護駕雙將的林氏兄弟之下，僅管目前情況是變出意外，也儘管他身體痛得顫抖，牙床也捉對兒廝打著，但他除了最初發出一聲慘號之外，以後，卻是哼都不曾哼出一聲，並且自行運氣閉穴，止住了幾乎是狂噴著的血液。
朱四娘讚許地點點頭道：唔！不愧是一條漢子。
接著，才注目問道：你知道王佐斷臂的故事嗎？
青衫文士點頭答道：知道，也明白了令主的意思。
朱四娘笑了笑道：那就好，你好好聽著：當無敵堡堡主淳于坤問你為何沒死時，你就說是斷臂代首，帶罪傳令，才暫貸一死的。
青衫文士接問道：令主要在下代傳什麼命令呢？
傳的是七殺令。朱四娘一挫銀牙道：同時，你帶給那老賊兩句話：十六年前，挹翠樓中的血債，到了償還的時候了。
青衫文士怔了怔道：在下記下了。
朱四娘冷然接道：從現在起，改稱屬下。
青衫文士連忙道：屬下遵命。
朱四娘目注對方那剛剛被劉子奇包紮好的斷臂，微微一笑道：你雖已斷去一臂，但我保證你的武功，能在三個月之內，至少增強一倍。
青衫文士躬身施禮道：多謝令主。
朱四娘目光移注朱勝男說道：勝男，取出七殺令牌，將七殺律令朗讀一遍。
yes!朱勝男探懷取出一塊長約四寸，寬約三指，下面刻著七殺令三個血紅大字，背面有著七行紅小字，形如飛鏢的銀牌，嬌聲宣誦著：忤逆不孝，逆倫犯上者，殺！二、蒙上欺下，魚肉良民者，殺！三、貪污瀆職，尸位素餐者，殺！四、作好犯科，為害江湖者，殺！五、巧言令色，過河拆橋者，殺！六、始亂終棄，忘情負心者，殺！七、不服節制，看不順眼者，殺！
呂正英一面聽，一面心頭暗忖著：前面六條，都殺得有理，最後一條，未免太那個一點
朱勝男宣讀完畢之後，朱四娘冷然接道：將權杖交給他！
青衫文士由朱勝男手中接過權杖之後，朱四娘又沉聲接道：此權杖，交給淳于坤那老賊，現在你將青雕招下來，明天，咱們一道起程。
yes!
青衫文士恭應聲中，朱勝男卻笑了笑道：娘！你還沒問人家姓名甚誰呢！
朱四娘不由啞然失笑道：哦！對了，你姓甚名誰？
青衫文士恭應道：回令主，屬下戈永平，干戈的戈
朱四娘截口自語道：戈永平？莫非是有大漠神雕之稱的戈永平大俠？
一聽朱四娘竟然能知道自己的名號，戈永平不由面有得色地，連連點首道：正是，正是不敢當令主大俠之稱。
朱四娘笑道：看來，我是老糊塗了，其實，方才我看到那青雕時，就應該聯想到你是誰的，因為，當代武林中，以靈禽代步的，可並不多見
朱四娘這幾句話，倒委實是實事，大漠神雕戈永平的名號，比起青城雙煞林氏兄弟來，可更要響亮得多！
戈永平似乎連斷臂的痛苦也忘去了，滿臉堆笑地說道：令主過獎，屬下深感汗顏。
朱四娘神色一整道：我這個人，可能不太好伺候，但只要你能聽話，能完成我所交的任務，我不會虧待你的。
戈永平又連聲諂笑道：是，是，屬下記下了。
朱四娘目光轉向正副總管和呂正英等三人，沉聲說道：你們三個，立即出發，盤纏方面，特別從豐，七殺令主的手下，出手絕對不能小家子氣。
劉子奇、王人傑等三人喏喏連聲中，朱四娘又正容接道：還有，該殺的固然要殺，可莫忘了咱們是俠義道中人，隨時注意濟困扶危，行俠仗義。
呂正英禁不住暗中長嘆一聲，忖念著：只要你也承認是俠義道中人，以後的事情，就好辦了許多。
惡虎溝，位於雪峰山之西，會同縣境之內。
顧名思義，那是一個非常險峻，易守難攻的山溝。
也由於它的險峻，那位身為南七省綠林總舵主的西門銳，才選中它作為總舵所在的發號施令之地的。
惡虎溝外，約莫兩里路程，是一個有著百來戶人家的小鎮甸。
由於這小鎮甸地當交通要道，又與強盜窩緊鄰著，因而顯得畸形的繁榮。
這當然有其特殊的原因，第一、即所謂盜亦有道，強盜們不吃窩邊草，這些人雖然在強盜窩邊，卻安全得很。
第二，強盜們過的是刀尖舐血，劍底驚魂的生活，銀錢又來得容易，因而花得也快。
有著這些原因，這小鎮甸就成了這些強盜們的銷金窩，溫柔鄉了。
這是中秋節後，第三天的薄暮時分。
一位滿面風塵，穿著寒酸而又有點土裏土氣的年青人，緩步進入了惡虎溝小鎮。
他背上背著一個破包袱，肩頭卻插著一枝長劍，一進入街口，即以好奇的目光，向兩邊打量著。
這位年輕人，就是有著重大使命，前往西門銳的總舵找麻煩的呂正英。
至於他目前的這一身打扮，倒並非故意裝成，因為，事實上。當他於八個多月之前，由鬼門關上逃出來時，根本就什麼都不曾帶，而天心谷中，又根本沒有男人的服裝，因而這幾個月的衣衫都是就他們原有的那套冬裝，自己因陋就簡地，加以修改而成。
惡虎溝這小鎮甸，地方雖小，卻是道地的臥虎藏龍之處，三教九流，形形色色的人，應有盡有，因此，像呂正英目前這種不倫不類的打扮的人，走在大街上，是根本沒有人感到奇怪的。
呂正英進入大街，略一端詳之後，隨即向街道旁的一位青衣漢子抱拳一拱道：這位大叔請教一下！
青衣漢子愣了一下道：這位老弟，有何見教？
呂正英含笑接道：請問大叔，這鎮甸上，是否有衣著舖子？
青衣漢子連連點首道：有，有。
呂正英笑問道：也有賣馬的？
have!青衣漢子哈哈一笑道：只要你老弟口袋中有銀子，即使要買黃花閨女，馬上可以買到的。
呂正英訕然一笑道：多謝大叔！小可還有一點事情請教？
青衣漢子笑了笑道：不要緊，反正我現在沒事，有什麼要問的，請儘管問就是。
呂正英壓低話聲問道：請問大叔，這兒距離西門總寨主的總舵，還有多遠？
青衣漢子這才一蹙眉峰，重行向呂正英打量了一下之後，才反問道：老弟台要去總寨？
呂正英點點頭道：正是。
青衣漢子接問道：不知有何貴幹？
呂正英臨時扯了一個大慌：小可與西門銳總當家的，有點親戚關係，特地前來投奔。
青衣漢子哦了一聲，再度向他打量了一下之後，才含笑接道：原來是西門銳寨主的貴親，在下失敬了。
緊接著，又神色一整道：總寨離這兒不足兩里，但在下奉勸你老弟，還是明天去比較合適。
呂正英不由脫口問道：為什麼？
青衣漢子道：這原因很多。
接著，他抬手向不遠處的一家群英酒樓一指，含笑接道：這群英酒樓是本鎮最豪華的酒樓兼客棧，也是總寨的賓館，今宵你老弟最好是在那邊歇一宵，明天再去，到了酒樓中，你說明來意和身份，他們必然會妥為招待，同時，你也可以獲知為何今宵不便去總寨的原因。
呂正英含笑一躬道：多謝大叔指點，小可告辭了。
也許因為群英酒樓是西門銳的招待所，呂正英到達酒樓前時，他已經有了新的打算，那位站在門口的店小二，向著他滿臉堆笑地問道：客官是要住店，還是喝酒？
呂正英冷然接道：天都黑了，我不住店，跑來幹嗎？
店小二哈腰賠笑道：是是小的失言，客官請。
呂正英邊走邊問道：有沒有上房？
店小二連忙接道：有，有。
我要最好的。
本店的客房，每一間都是最好的。
呂正英笑了笑道：你要是所言不實，當心我在西門銳寨主面前，告你一狀。
這語氣，已表示他知道這家酒樓，就是西門銳總寨的賓館，明知是西門銳的賓館，竟在他的手下人面前，直呼西門銳的名字。
因此，呂正英話聲一落，使得店小二向他深深地打量了一下之後，才蹙眉問道：尊駕是
呂正英截口漫應道：我不會
