Chapter 7 Chapter 7: The Night at the Yirong Inn

At this time, the situation of Lu Zhengying, Lu Qingping and the others can be roughly described as precarious, but they are all silent, gritting their teeth and struggling. Shui Xiangyun froze her silver teeth and floated towards the arena. Judging by the situation, she was desperate and ready to go all out. Just when the situation was about to undergo a major change, the old man in the blue shirt suddenly burst into thunder, and shouted loudly: "Stop!" Immediately afterwards, he twirled his beard and smiled again: "Whoever dares not listen to my old man, my old man will reward him with a board first!"

In fact, he didn't need to add anything, the two sides in the fierce fight had already stopped automatically amidst his shouts like spring thunder.Of course, for Lu Zhengying, Lu Qingping and the others, this was something they could not have wished for, because, no matter whether the old man in blue was an enemy or a friend, it was always good to be able to stop first and have a chance to breathe. Once the fighting stopped, Shen Wenbing first exclaimed: "It's you?" Shui Xiangyun asked Shen Wenbing at the same time: Third senior brother, who is this? Shen Wenbing smiled wryly and said: It's that old man from Huangshan who broke the plaque at our gate.

This answer naturally made Shui Xiangyun secretly relieved, and let out a long sigh.Because Huangshan Yisou and Invincible Fort are in a hostile position, no matter whether he knows Lu Zhengying or not, but because his apprentice Tian Bin works with Lu Zhengying under the command of the Seven Killing Commander, so he stands on Lu Zhengying's side. That is beyond doubt. In Shui Xiangyun's heart, although she felt relieved, on the surface, she frowned on purpose and said: So, is Lu Zhengying's reinforcements here? Shen Wenbing snorted and said: Take advantage of this opportunity and fight him first.

At this time, Huangshan Yisou asked Lu Zhengying with a smile: You are the Lu Zhengying who once made a big splash in the past few days, right? Lu Zhengying nodded solemnly and replied: "Xiao Ke is Lu Zhengying, senior. Have you met brother Lingtu Tian?" Huangshan Yisou was startled and said: No!Didn't he work with you for the Lord of the Seven Kills? Lu Zhengying said: "However, brother Tian has already gone to Xiakou with the Lord Ling." Shen Wenbing focused on Huangshan Yisou, snorted and said: Are you going to support this Lu? Huangshan Yisou said: "He and the young disciple can be regarded as fellow ministers. Since my old man has met, I am ashamed not to help him!"

Shen Wenbing sneered and said: "It's better to settle the matter between us as soon as possible." Immediately afterwards, the trembling voice shouted: "Set up the sword array, peel off this old man!" Huangshan Yisou smiled and said, "Young man, you must force me to do it. It is not an honorable thing for you and me." During this time of speaking, eighteen big men in heavy clothes and four old men in gray shirts ran out of the shadows. The eighteen well-dressed men immediately formed a strange formation of swords and surrounded Huangshan Yisou, while the four gray-clothed old men stood quietly aside.

Shen Wenbing snorted and said, "How do you say that?" Huangshan Yisou responded casually: Aren't you the one who claims to be the most accomplished among Chunyukun's five disciples?If you are defeated by such an unknown bad old man like me, what glory is there for you?As for myself, it needs no explanation! Shen Wenbing sneered and said: Stop talking nonsense, tonight, between you and me, we have to see the truth anyway. Huangshan Yisou smiled wryly and said: In this case, my old man has no choice but to feel wronged a little, and let your heart be fulfilled. In the night sky, there was a loud and clear chirping sound suddenly.

Lu Zhengying raised her head and searched excitedly when she heard the sound, while Shen Wenbing couldn't help but blurted out cheers: "It's Senior Ge!" A dark cloud, carrying a gust of wind, swept past from a height of seven to eight feet, stirring up sand and stones on the river beach, making it hard for the heroes to keep their eyes open. After a while, when they opened their eyes, there was already a beautiful woman in Tsing Yi who looked about 30 years old, but was as cold as peaches and plums. Under Lu Zhengying's attention, he hurried forward, bowed and said: "Lv Zhengying sees the Lord."

It turned out that Zhu Siniang, the leader of the Seven Killing Orders, came here in person. Since Zhu Siniang came here on a green eagle, Shen Wenbing may not know what happened to the desert god Ge Yongping in Tianxin Valley, so he thought it was Ge Yongping who rushed over, so he cheered. Also because of the situation in front of him, Shen Wenbing was surprised, so he froze there for a moment, unable to speak. After Zhu Siniang looked around the scene, she focused on Lu Zhengying, and asked in a deep voice: Are these people from Invincible Fort? Lu Zhengying replied respectfully: "Return to the Lord, some of them are not."

Zhu Siniang cut off and said: Good!Report the current situation and the course of the trip to Ehugou in detail. yes!After Lu Zhengying responded respectfully, he then explained in detail everything that had happened so far during his trip to Ehugou. Moreover, he then told him about Shui Xiangyun's secret warning to him, in order to Infuriating sound transmission, to be supplemented. After Zhu Siniang listened quietly, those two cold eyes swept across the faces of Shen Wenbing, Wen Renyu, and Shui Xiangyun, especially at Shui Xiangyun, and then, Let out a stern hum. Shen Wenbing sneered and said, "What's the air!"Judging from the poor situation of your subordinates, forgive me, you are not very clever.

As soon as the words fell, there were two crackling sounds, and ten clear finger marks immediately appeared on Shen Wenbing's handsome face. Zhu Siniang's skill was really so good that before this moment, Shen Wenbing, who was still defiant and arrogant, received two hot slaps on the face, but felt that the figure in front of him flickered. This situation made Huangshan Yisou couldn't help laughing and said: meeting is better than being famous, and the Lord of the Seven Kills is indeed a peerless master! Then, he clasped his fists to Zhu Siniang and arched from a distance: Zhu Lingzhu, I'm being polite to Ouyang Tai.

Only then did Wu Xiuyun, Lu Qingping, Shangguan Suwen and others salute Zhu Siniang one after another, and each of them reported their surnames.Zhu Siniang smiled and said, "Don't dare to be that!"Everyone, please stay calm and don't be impatient, and let's talk about it after I send away these experts from Invincible Fortress. After a pause, he focused his eyes on Shen Wenbing who had been stunned by her two slaps for a while, and just came back to his senses, showing a murderous expression on his face, and said with a cold snort: "Shen Wenbing, according to the situation where you contradicted me just now , I should have slapped you with one palm, but do you know why I only slapped you twice instead of killing you? Shen Wenbing was trembling with anger, and his steel teeth were gritting. If Wen Renyu and Shui Xiangyun hadn't been holding him back and forth to prevent him from going all out, he might have rushed forward desperately! Shui Xiangyun's actions are very mysterious, and he is also very well-behaved. After hearing the words, he hurriedly laughed first: The Lord is a senior, so I don't want to make trouble with the younger generations! Zhu Siniang smiled wryly in her heart: If it wasn't for you girl, I wouldn't let them go back alive. At present, there are reasons for Zhu Siniang's thinking.According to her extreme and almost perverted personality, tonight, these people in Invincible Fort may all be doomed, but since Lu Zhengying once gave her a voice transmission instruction of true energy, she must keep Shui Xiangyun as her own. But if Shui Xiangyun was left alone, it would definitely arouse Chun Yukun's suspicion, so he had no choice but to let the three senior brothers and sisters go. She smiled wryly in her heart, but said with a sneer in her mouth: I don't care about seniors and juniors. Now, I tell you the truth, I spare the lives of the three of you junior sisters, and I want you to send me a message to Chunyu Kunna. Old thief, tell him to prepare well for his funeral! After a pause, he sneered again and said: You look down on me as a subordinate, so I might as well tell you honestly that Lu Zhengying is not my official subordinate, nor is he considered my apprentice. He is still under my test, so , you can beat him, it doesn't mean you are smart, I admire you only if you can beat my own daughter. Shen Wenbing snorted and said, "Okay, call your daughter!" After Zhu Siniang smiled coldly, she sighed, "Shengnan, you're not here yet." coming!With this delicate response, a red shadow flashed in front of his eyes, and the fragrant wind blew gently. The fiery red Zhu Shengnan stood in front of Zhu Siniang, smiled at Naimu and said: Mother!There are a total of fifteen hidden cards in this periphery. Zhu Siniang groaned and said, "Have you cooked everything?" Zhu Shengnan nodded and said: Yes. A dozen of his subordinates were silently executed. To Shen Wenbing, this situation was no more relaxed than when he was slapped twice by Zhu Siniang just now. Shen Wenbing knows exactly how skilled Zhu Shengnan is in dealing with the fifteen hidden cards, although he is currently attracting his attention because of the successive appearances of Huangshan old man Ouyang Tai and Zhu Siniang. , but it is not difficult to imagine that Zhu Shengnan can have such a clean performance, and his skill is superb. Because of these reasons, when Zhu Shengnan casually said the word "yes", Shen Wenbing's handsome face, which had already been slapped twice by Zhu Siniang, became even uglier in an instant! Zhu Siniang stared at Shen Wenbing and said with a sneer: Don't be afraid, I have already said that I will not kill you three brothers and sisters tonight, and I can give you a bargain, as long as you can defeat my daughter, the rest of the twenty-two A man, I can spare them from dying! Hearing this tone, she didn't even intend to let go of the eighteen well-dressed men who had already formed a sword formation, and the four gray-clothed old men standing beside them. While Shen Wenbing's face was cloudy and uneasy, Zhu Shengnan smiled slightly at him and said: What are you waiting for?In this situation, Shen Wenbing had no choice but to risk his life regardless of the consequences. He gritted his steel teeth and said in a deep voice: Good!You move in! Zhu Shengnan smiled coquettishly: "Being obedient is worse than being respectful. Forgive me for being presumptuous." As soon as the words fell, he slammed his sword and stabbed Shen Wenbing straight in the chest. She may have underestimated the enemy, but this time she used the most ordinary move of Bianzhuang stabbing the tiger. Even though this ordinary move is used by a master like her, it has the effect of turning decay into magic. But the opponent she met was not weak, so not only did she easily dodge it, but she also took the initiative to counter the enemy, and immediately returned the color, whoop, whoop, whoop three times in a row, unexpectedly forced Zhu Shengnan to take a big step back, It was only then that the opponent's three consecutive moves were resolved. After Zhu Shengnan's move was frustrated, he put away his underestimation of the enemy, and immediately counterattacked with Tianxin Valley's superb skills, and said with a sneer: Shen Wenbing, bring more decent things, you must know that this battle of yours will connect the other twenty Two lives! Shen Wenbing also sneered: "Thank you for reminding me, I will be careful." He said it easily, but in action, he was forced to take a defensive position by the opponent's pungent and magical sword move. Originally, Shen Wenbing's swordsmanship and palm technique were the same as Zhu Shengnan's swordsmanship, pungent and miraculous at the same time, but compared with the two, Shen Wenbing's moves were slightly inferior, and in terms of real strength, he was also inferior. Obviously it was a bit worse, so once Zhu Shengnan changed his sword technique, Shen Wenbing immediately fell into the disadvantage. But even so, Zhu Siniang beside her was frowning.Of course, Zhu Siniang's intention may be that Shen Wenbing's skill is much better than she imagined. At the same time, she is also a little worried. Is the current Shen Wenbing hiding his secrets? Because, if what she was worried about turned out to be a reality, the momentary victory or defeat is of course nothing, but the impact on her prestige as the Lord of the Seven Kills would be too great. Finally, what he was worried about did not happen. After the fierce battle between the two sides exceeded a hundred moves, Shen Wenbing was forced to retreat again and again. Zhu Shengnan continued to sneer and said with a sneer: Shen, you still don't give up the knife and admit defeat! Shen Wenbing suddenly shouted and stopped. Zhu Shengnan jumped out of the battle circle, and asked coldly: Have you conceded defeat? Shen Wenbing let out a long sigh and said: "Wulin is all about strength. I can't admit defeat in the face of Gao Ming, but the humiliation I suffered tonight!"One day, I will get back twice as much! Zhu Shengnan sneered: You are very ambitious, okay, I will wait for you to ask for it back, but I will say the bad things first, the next time we meet, my mother just said that the promise not to kill you will not apply up. Shen Wenbing also sneered: "Don't talk too much about the future. In the future, it's hard to say who won't forgive!" Zhu Siniang scolded in a deep voice: Stop talking nonsense!You brothers and sisters, and Zhu Zhigang who has lost his arm, you can go back now! After a short conversation, with cold eyes, he glanced at the 18-year-old burly man and the four old men in gray shirts and said: "I have already given you a chance of survival. It is your master who does not live up to expectations. You can't blame anyone. Now, you twenty-two One, line up immediately to lead to death, and at the same time, I will give you another advantage, as long as after ten moves, whoever is still alive, I will not kill him again. This tone, if you think about it carefully, is enough to make people angry. But Shui Xiangyun is more courageous. When the rest of the people were silent after hearing Zhu Siniang's words, she looked at Zhu Siniang and asked with a sweet smile: "This lady?" Zhu Siniang cut off her mouth coldly: "Call the Lord!" yes!Shui Xiangyun quickly changed his words: Since the Lord let the four of us go, why did he still want to kill our subordinates? Zhu Siniang snorted and said: I'm not letting you go, I just want you to carry the letter for me so that you can live a few more days. Shui Xiangyun frowned and asked: Why is the Lord so bloodthirsty? Zhu Siniang sneered and said: You are quite courageous, you dare to ask me these questions. Shui Xiangyun smiled and said: Lord, if a person has put life and death aside, there is nothing to be afraid of. After Zhu Siniang stared intently for a while, she smiled lightly and said: For your courage, I can talk to you a few more words.It's not that I like to kill people, but you people should be killed, damn it! Shui Xiangyun asked with a smile: Why should we all kill the damned? Zhu Siniang frowned and said: Because, you are all from Invincible Castle! Shui Xiangyun continued with a serious face: "Lingzhu has enmity with Invincible Fort?" Zhu Siniang snorted and said: Hatred is as deep as the sea, and hatred is higher than the sky? Shui Xiangyun continued with a straight face: "The people who make the Lord Invincible Fortress, absolutely not everyone will have hatred against you as deep as the sea, hate as high as the sky, right?" This question made Zhu Siniang unable to answer for a while.But Shui Xiangyun continued unrelentingly: Lord, since not everyone in the Invincible Fort has a grudge against you, then, junior, please be bold, please let the Lord hold your hand high and let them go. ? As she spoke, she raised her hand and pointed to her twenty-two subordinates. Zhu Siniang couldn't help but coquettishly laughed and said: You, the mud bodhisattva crossing the river, can't protect yourself, and you still want to plead for mercy for your subordinates so that you don't die? Shui Xiangyun hit the snake with the stick and she smiled coquettishly: "The Lord has already agreed?" Zhu Siniang murmured noncommittally, but Shui Xiangyun quickly turned her head and shouted to those underlings, "Go back!" Shui Xiangyun Bingxue is smart, good at creating opportunities, and can also seize opportunities in due course. And her subordinates are not stupid. Moreover, they have rich experience in the world, and they can see the situation in front of them very clearly. Even their master's most proud apprentice is in the hands of the other's daughter. How can he compete with the opponent's master! Therefore, as soon as Shui Xiangyun's words fell, those people roared together and rushed away with their heads in their arms. Zhu Siniang was obviously very appreciative of Shui Xiangyun's superhuman wit, so instead of getting angry at the other party's self-assertive action, she smiled slightly: "Little girl, I hope you won't run into me again next time." Shui Xiangyun smiled coquettishly and said: Lord didn't kill me tonight, I think next time we meet, he won't have the heart to do harm to me. Zhu Siniang snorted and said: Next time you meet me, you will definitely die!Then, his face and tone sank at the same time and said: Don't get out of here yet. yes!Shui Xiangyun responded tenderly, turned her head to Shen Wenbing and the other three who were standing blankly aside, and said: Third senior brother, let's go. A group of four people turned around silently and rushed away. But Zhu Siniang raised her voice and said, "I'll say it again, and send a message to that old thief Chunyukun to prepare for his funeral!" Seeing the backs of those people disappearing into the dark night, Lu Zhengying completely let go of his worries, and couldn't help letting out a long, secret sigh of relief. At this time, Zhu Siniang focused on Ouyang Tai, the old man in Huangshan, and asked with a smile: "Hero Ouyang is traveling to Yujing?"Or is there another reason? Ouyang Tai replied with a smile: This old man's trip was originally to go to Xuefeng to visit the lord and see the apprentice. Zhu Siniang said with a smile: I don't dare to take the word "calling on a meeting". Your Excellency, the head of the Huangshan School, has the preparations for your school been fully prepared? Ouyang Tai said solemnly: "The preparations have already been completed, but the experience of the villains is not enough, so the old man is going to let them follow the commanding master, after a lot of practice, and then regularly announce to the comrades." Zhu Siniang groaned and said: Hero Ouyang is indeed a mature and prudent person. Where, where!Ouyang Tai humbly laughed repeatedly and said: The Lord is overwhelmed! Zhu Siniang said with a smile: What I said was from the bottom of my heart. Then, he asked attentively, "Does Hero Ouyang still want to see Lingtu?" Ouyang Tai nodded and said: Yes. Zhu Siniang said: "Your disciple has gone to Xiakou for the first time with my daughter and others, so I have to ask Mr. Ouyang to go to Xiakou!" Ouyang Tai smiled and said: "I'm fine anyway, it's good to run more." Zhu Siniang asked thoughtfully: Just now, the hero Ouyang has seen all the scene of Shen Wenbing fighting the little girl. Ouyang Tai nodded and said: Yes, I have seen it all. Zhu Siniang paid close attention and asked, "I don't know how the hero Ouyang feels about Shen Wenbing's saber and palm techniques." Ouyang Tai was slightly taken aback and said: "It's weird and spicy, but compared with Ling Ai's martial arts, it's obviously still far behind. Zhu Siniang then asked, "Will Hero Ouyang see Shen Wenbing's martial arts skills?" Ouyang Tai smiled wryly and said: I am so ashamed that I can't see where that kid's martial arts come from, but what can be asserted is that it is by no means the original martial arts of Invincible Fort. Zhu Siniang grunted and said: I also feel the same about this point. Ouyang Tai smiled and said: I think, if you pay back this point, the Lord will definitely feel the same way. Zhu Siniang asked with a smile: "Which point is it?" Ouyang Tai didn't answer and asked instead: "Has the Master seen the saber-throwing technique used by the disciple?" Seen.Zhu Siniang suddenly remembered something and said: "Your Excellency, you think that the saber technique used by Shen Wenbing is somewhat similar to the saber technique used by Lingtu?" Ouyang Tai nodded and said: Exactly, exactly, not only somewhat similar, but also similar. Zhu Siniang nodded in agreement, but Ouyang Tai asked: Does the Lord know the reason? Zhu Siniang smiled and said: "Your Excellency's question, it can be regarded as asking someone who shuts the door and doesn't hear anything outside the window!" But she sneered in her heart: I know the reason, but I may not tell you! . Ouyang Tai sighed lightly and said: "There are many things in the martial arts that cannot be measured by common sense. Let's not talk about these things!" After a pause, he continued to pay attention and asked: If the Lord has no other advice, I will leave here. Your Excellency is too kind!Zhu Siniang smiled and said: "Then, see you in Xiakou!" Okay, goodbye Xiakou!After Ouyang Tai finished speaking, he cupped his fists towards Zhu Siniang, Wu Xiuyun, Lu Qingping and others, made a circle and flew down the river, still galloping away on the waves. Only then did Zhu Siniang focus on Lu Qingping, smiled and said: Miss Lu, the prestige of her teacher and her martial arts are not inferior to that old thief Chun Yukun. It is said that a famous teacher produces a high-level apprentice, and Miss Lu's martial arts attainments must have been very high. achieved? Lu Qingping smiled wryly and said: Lord, please don't laugh, the junior's aptitude is dull, and his achievements are very limited. Zhu Siniang looked at Lu Qingping and Shangguan Suwen with her eyes up and down, her lips twitched, and she hesitated to speak. Lu Qingping continued with a smile: The Lord seems to have some instructions. Zhu Siniang smiled and said: "Let's talk about it in detail when we see Ling Shi!" Then he continued with a smile: When you see Master Ling, please give my greetings and welcome to Xiakou for a visit. This is already tantamount to issuing an order to chase away guests. Lu Qingping Bingxue is smart, so she can naturally understand the other party's implication, and immediately responded respectfully: "Junior, write it down!" Then, he nodded to Wu Xiuyun and Shangguan Suwen and said: "Mother-in-law, Ah Wen, let's go back to the inn first!" After the three of them saluted Zhu Siniang at the same time, they turned and rushed towards the inn. Zhu Siniang stared at Lu Zhengying, pondered for a while, and then said with a serious face: Lu Zhengying, I will go first with the eldest lady on the green eagle, and you will go east alone according to the scheduled plan. Remember: you are not allowed to go with Lu Qingping and others. , to modify the disguise, to avoid conflicts with the people of Invincible Fort, understand? Lu Zhengying nodded again and again and said: This subordinate understands. Zhu Shengnan asked coldly: Do you understand?Tell me, why doesn't my mother let you have a conflict with the people in Invincible Fort? Lu Zhengying said solemnly: "That's the subordinate's martial arts has just started, and he is not yet his opponent, so he can't embarrass the master anymore." Zhu Siniang nodded approvingly and said: You have a very high comprehension ability, I hope you can take care of yourself. Without waiting for Lu Zhengying to answer, he immediately continued: Originally, your martial arts were passable, but the people in Invincible Fort were far more clever than I expected, so I heard on the way that they sent someone to intercept you , Immediately came to meet you with the eldest lady on a green eagle. Lu Zhengying responded respectfully: Thank you, Lord, for your kindness! Zhu Siniang smiled and said, "Your self-proclaimed soul-chaser is very suitable for me. From now on, you and Tian Bin both have official titles, that is, the soul-chaser of this order, and the soul-chaser." Deadly Messenger. Lu Zhengying can be regarded as doing as the Romans do, and these days, he has become much more tactful. After hearing the words, he quickly bowed to express his thanks: Thank you, Lord, for your cultivation! Zhu Shengnan continued in a deep and cold voice: But, you can no longer make this title conflict, if it cannot be avoided, you should kill yourself immediately as a thank you! Lu Zhengying replied indifferently: I have written it down. Zhu Siniang continued thoughtfully: At present, your skills are not comparable to Tian Bin's. Before returning to Xiakou this time, you still have to work hard. yes!After Lu Zhengying responded respectfully, his heart was moved again, and he asked with attention: "My lord, is Tian Bin's martial arts higher than that of Shen Wenbing just now?" Zhu Siniang groaned and said: "Looking at the situation, they should be between brothers." After a brief pause, he continued in a deep voice: Remember what I just said, on the way to the east, try to hide your whereabouts as much as possible to avoid conflicts with the personnel of Invincible Fort. Lu Zhengying nodded respectfully and said, "Your subordinate obeys orders." Zhu Shengnan raised his head and let out a clear whistle, the huge blue eagle swooped down, but Zhu Siniang, mother and daughter shot up at the same time, stepped on the back of the eagle at a height of more than five feet, and flew away into the sky.This riverside, which had been bustling for quite a while, became deserted again in an instant, leaving only Lu Zhengying alone.I don't know what was going on in his mind, but he was standing by the riverside in a daze, not moving, if it wasn't for the strong wind blowing his long gown and flapping it, he would really look like a statue! After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly let out a deep sigh. Suddenly, a cold word came from nowhere: "I'm really worthless!" The voice came from nowhere, just like the voices of Zhu Siniang's mother and daughter he heard in the Xuefeng Mountains on the way to escape eight months ago. But the current environment is very different from eight months ago. Because, in the past, it was convenient to hide one's body among the mountains of Xuefeng Mountain, and when it was snowing heavily, but now the sandy beach by the river is completely empty, and the fishing boats on the river, The distance between them and the inn behind them is at least as long as the arrow. However, the voice of the current voice is so clear, as if it is in his ear. Lu Zhengying was slightly startled, then snorted again in that cold voice: Why, you are still not convinced! Lu Zhengying couldn't help asking: Just now, are you scolding me? That cold voice said: You are the only one on this beach, if I don't scold you, who will I scold? Lu Zheng had no choice but to smile wryly and said: Your Excellency, let me explain clearly, what is it about me that I am worthless? That icy voice said: A woman with a majestic body of seven feet, but controlled by a woman, don't you feel very honored! Lu Zhengying couldn't help but sneered and sighed. The cold voice snorted again: Here we go again, a man, a real man, killing people is just a nod of the head, what's there to sigh about! Lu Zhengying smiled wryly and said: Your Excellency is an outsider, so naturally you can be happy to make sarcastic remarks. That cold voice said: I said you are worthless, but you are still not convinced. Lu Zhengying said solemnly: Your Excellency, I am not unconvinced, and I admit that your scolding is justified, but in the depths of everyone's heart, there may be more or less unspeakable secrets. The cold voice continued: As long as you are willing to be with my old man, any problem can be easily solved. Really?Lu Zhengying said vaguely: Then, who is your Excellency? That cold voice said: No matter who I am?First let me ask you a question. Lu Zhengying nodded and said: Good!go ahead. That cold voice said: Do you know the origin of the martial arts you practice? Lu Zhengying said: "I know, that's the true interpretation of the book from Jie Yusheng's senior. That icy voice said: You also know that there are two other sub-volumes of Wanbo Zhenzhang that focus on sword techniques and palm techniques respectively? Lu Zhengying hummed noncommittally. That cold voice said: You also know, did Jie Yusheng ever take in an apprentice? Lu Zhengying was startled and said: I don't know! That icy voice said: You are a smart person, after hearing my words, think back to the martial arts moves Shen Wenbing and his brothers and sisters used just now, do you have any associations in your mind? Lu Zhengying's heart moved, and he said with an oh: Could it be that the martial arts of Invincible Fort came from the apprentice who gave birth to the rest of his life? That icy voice said: If their martial arts didn't come from that apprentice who survived the robbery, how could they know those three kinds of miraculous martial arts at the same time? Lu Zhengying said: "How do you know these things?" That cold tone said: You are such a stupid cow. After talking for so long, you can't even think of who I am! Lu Zhengying frowned and said, "Could it be that Your Excellency is the apprentice of Senior Jie Yusheng?" That cold voice said with a smile: Now, you are finally smart! Lu Zhengying was startled and said: So, Your Excellency is also Chunyukun's master? That icy voice said: It's too much to ask. After he paused, he continued in a deep voice: Since you already know who I am, why don't you kneel down and kowtow! Lu Zhengying sneered and said: Why should I kowtow to you? That icy voice laughed and said: "Worship me as your master!" Lu Zhengying snorted and said: I worship you as my master, unless the sun starts from the west! The cold voice asked in surprise: You are so ignorant of flattery, why is that? Lu Zhengying frowned and said: Because you are Chun Yukun's master, and Chun Yukun is my father-killing enemy. The cold voice said: "What does that matter, after you have learned martial arts with me, you can kill Chun Yukun and get revenge, isn't it the same!" Lu Zhengying snorted and said: "Father's hatred is irreconcilable, how can I share the same master with that old thief." That cold voice said: You boy, you are really proud. After he paused for a while, he asked again in a deep voice: You boy, you treat my old man's good intentions as a donkey's liver and lungs, and just follow those two psychopathic women and follow their breath? Lu Zhengying said indifferently: This has nothing to do with you! That icy voice laughed loudly and said: My old man is flattering himself on the horse's leg, which can be regarded as asking for fun, but I have to remind you, if you give up this opportunity, you will regret it for the rest of your life! Lu Zhengying smiled and said: You don't feel tired when you speak with the best skills of Liuhe sound transmission? That cold voice scolded angrily: Damn, you think my old man is long-winded! After a pause, he snorted again and said: Good!My old man is too lazy to meddle in your business, so farewell! Lu Zhengying laughed and said: "Go slowly, go slowly, don't send it off, don't send it off." Due to the changes in the situation, Lu Zhengying and Lu Qingping and others planned to hire a boat from Baishui Town to send them directly to Hengzhou, so it had to be changed. I still hired a special boat, but only Lu Qingping and the other three went down the river eastward, while Lu Zhengying changed his appearance and rode alone by land. During this trip, he disguised himself as a middle-aged official, single-handed and single-handed, galloping on the official path, not only avoiding the attention of the world, but also appearing at ease. On the evening of the fourth day, Lu Zhengying entered Hengshan County with a dusty face. Hengshan is located on the left bank of the Xiangjiang River. It is named after Hengshan, the southern mountain in the county. Due to the convenient water and land transportation, the market is very prosperous. When Lu Zhengying entered a luxury inn named Xiaoxiang Bieguan, a man in military attire walked out of the inn, bowed to him and said: "My lord, your room is ready." Lv Zhengying snorted, and under the guidance of the brave soldier, entered a rather elegant upper room, and then said in a low voice: Thank you!Miss Lu. It turned out that this brave soldier was actually disguised by Lu Qingping. Of course, although their trip took different routes by land and water, the action plan between them was discussed in advance. Since Lu Qingping and the other three on the waterway had smooth sailing and fast travel, they opened a room here for Lu Zhengying first. Lu Qingping laughed softly and said: Mr. Lu, why are you being polite. Then, he changed to voice transmission with true energy and asked: Did anything happen on the road? No!Lu Zhengying then asked: What about here? Lu Qingping replied via voice transmission: There is nothing new here, but the ups and downs about your display of prowess in Ehugou and the Seven Killing Order have been exaggerated even more. , you have become the most talked about figure in the arena. Lu Zhengying couldn't help but smiled bitterly and said: I heard a lot of these along the way. Lu Qingping smiled and said: You have stole the limelight along the way. Lu Zhengying said with a wry smile: But, in Baishui Town, I also lost all face. Lu Qingping shook her head and continued: "It's not your fault, even your Lord God didn't blame you, so why are you sad?" Lu Zhengying said with a wry smile: But, this is an undeniable fact, I am still very poor. Lu Qingping smiled and said: According to what you said, if you are as skilled as me, you should hang yourself sooner! Lu Zhengying's expression was complete and he said: Seriously, have you seen Master Ling? These two people have always been talking through sound transmission with true energy. At this moment, Lu Qingping suddenly gave Lu Zhengying a knowing smile, and said in Mandarin: "Yes, yes, I really want it too." meet you A burst of heavy footsteps stopped at the door, and only a vigorous voice asked: Is this the room? The waiter said with an apologetic smile, "Master, I'm sorry!"A father-in-law has lived in this room. That vigorous voice said with a wry smile: I seem to be one step too late in doing anything. After a pause, he asked again: What about the room next door? The shop clerk said: This room is still vacant. The vigorous voice said: "Okay, then, I have to make up for it, this is the room!" Lu Qingping said via voice transmission: Mr. Lu, this old man may not be simple. Lu Zhengying asked in surprise, "Why do you see it?" Lu Qingping smiled and said: Believe it or not, just wait and see! Lu Zhengying frowned and asked through voice transmission: Miss Lu, looking at your mysterious situation, maybe you have already discovered something? Lu Qingping nodded and continued: You can say that. Lu Zhengying asked with concern: What kind of situation is that? Lu Qingping replied via voice transmission: The thing is like this, when my adoptive mother, Ah Wen and others abandoned the boat and landed here, I heard someone talking about you in slang on the pier. Lu Zhengying said: "What did they say?" Lu Qingping said: They said that you disappeared suddenly, but they seemed to be sure that no matter how you disguised yourself, there was a way to find you. Lu Zhengying then asked: What about the future? Lu Qingping said with a wry smile: From now on, the conversation between those two people was stopped by another person sharply. Lu Zhengying paid attention and asked: At that time, the three of you were also disguised? Lu Qingping nodded and said: Yes. At this point in the sound transmission, a vigorous voice suddenly came from the next room: "It's really young and nothing to do, the young couple, they chatted endlessly as soon as they met." These two sentences without beginning and end made Lu Zhengying and Lu Qingping feel flushed at the same time. Fortunately, their faces were covered with disguise medicine so that they would not be seen by the other party. Enough to see it! It was true to say that the vigorous voice next door, after saying those two sentences without beginning and end, stopped talking, which made Lu Zhengying and Lu Qingping nervous for a while. Lu Zhengying smiled bitterly, and then said in Mandarin: "Let's go!"Let's go to the restaurant for dinner. Lu Qingping hastily continued: No!I'm still waiting for the little one to go back and take his life! Lu Zhengying smiled and said: "Then, I won't be able to force you to stay. I will make a special trip to visit you tomorrow." Immediately afterwards, he said through sound transmission with true energy: "Tell me the address quickly." Lu Qingping smiled and said: Thank you!My Majesty once said that tomorrow morning, he will personally visit the inn. Then, she also said through sound transmission with her true energy: "Tomorrow will be at the gate of the south gate." After saying these few sentences, he said again in Mandarin: "Little one, I will take my leave." The vigorous voice next door answered at the right time: "Long go, go slowly, don't see you off, don't see you off." When Lu Zhengying and Lu Qingping glanced at each other with a wry smile again, the vigorous voice continued to laugh and said: It really looks like that! Lu Zhengying raised her eyebrows, but was stopped by Lu Qingping's wink. Lu Qingping walked and said via voice transmission: Be patient, I will come to see you later. After watching Lu Qingping leave, Lu Zhengying thought for a while, and immediately walked to the restaurant alone. Since it was dinner time, the business in the restaurant was particularly good. Under the arrangement of the waiter, Lu Zhengying quickly took an empty seat, and this seat was still shared by two people. 坐在他對面的，是一位商人裝束的中年人，前後左右的座位，卻是三教九流，各色人等都有，唯因這兒是衡山城中首屈一指的豪華客棧，到這兒來的顧客，都是衣冠楚楚，相當體面的人物。 在這種場合，尤其是經過一連串事故之後的呂正英，他也顯得特別老練起來。 他表面上裝得泰然自若，但暗地裏，他卻故意背著燈光，一雙精目，飛快地向四周掃了一下。 也就在這匆匆掃視之間，他發現兩雙銳利的目光，正在向他注視著。 公共場所中的顧客，注意一位新進來的客人，本來是很平常的事，但目前這兩位注視著他的客人卻顯然有點不尋常。 因為那兩位的目光，非常銳利，顯然是內家功夫頗有造詣的武林高手，而且，偌大一座餐廳之中偏偏只有這兩位特別注意他，而這兩位，又是坐在一起的。 就因為有著這些原因，呂正英心頭一動，故意將座位挪動了一下，以避過正面的燈光，斜對著那注意他的兩位而坐。 他故意收斂雙目中的神光，有意無意之間，向那兩位瞟了一眼。 這回，他看清楚了，那是兩位文士打扮的中年人，一著藍衫，一著灰衫。 著藍衫神態畏縮，著灰衫的卻是面相清臞，而且神采飛揚，當呂正英向那兩位正式掃過一眼時那兩位卻還是向著他，目不轉睛地注視著。 呂正英眉峰微蹙之間，店小二卻向他哈腰笑問道：這位公爺，您要吃點什麼啊？ 呂正英因為心不在焉，隨手向他對面那位的桌面上一指道：照樣！ 對面那位的桌面上，是一個併盤、一盤辣子雞丁，一盤紅燒甲魚，和一壺當地土產的黃酒。 店小二恭應著，連忙拉開嗓門，叫嚷了一遍。 此刻，呂正英從容地向四周打量。這餐廳，除了供應客棧本身的顧客之外，同時也對外營業，因而規模相當宏大，大概可同時供應兩百人進餐。 目前已賣了九成以上的座，算得上是座無虛席了。 當呂正英安詳地向四周打量時，那本來是特別注意他的那兩位，也不再向他注視，而淺酌低斟，並低聲交談起來。 呂正英正想凝神竊聽他們談些什麼，在離丈遠處，卻傳出一聲長嘆道：唉！剛剛平靜下來的江湖，可能又要掀起一場腥風血雨了。 呂正英循聲投注，見那說話的，是一位滿頭斑髮的短裝老者。 那一桌，一共是三位，除了那短裝老者之外，另一位是一位中年漢子，和一位十五六歲的少年人物。 那中年漢子點點頭道：是的，最近這位鬧得滿城風雨的七殺令主可委實夠厲害的了，不但沒將其他的武林人物看在眼中，而且連那儼然為武林霸主的無敵堡也好像不曾當一回事。 短裝老者拈鬚笑道：豈僅是沒將無敵堡當一回事而已，事實上七殺令主的目的，就是要取代無敵堡的地位呀！ 中年漢子點頭接道：爹說得對，要不然七殺令主的人員，也就不致於向夏口集中了。 那少年接問道：爹，無敵堡在夏口？ 中年漢子道：不！無敵堡在武昌的洛加山旁。 聽他們這稱謂，這三位還是祖孫三代呢！見到人家那種天倫團聚，再想到自己的滅門慘禍情形，呂正英禁不住心頭一陣酸楚，幾乎要掉下眼淚來。 但他畢竟是夠堅強的，尤其是目前，算得上是危機四伏，他絕對不能因感懷身世而分神。 因此，他立即暗中一挫鋼牙，將激動的情緒，強行壓制。 中年漢子一頓話鋒，目注短裝老者蹙眉說道：爹！你方才說，這次使得惡虎溝的西門銳寨主下不了台的，就是瀟湘劍客呂大俠的公子呂正英？ Yes.短裝老者點首接道：而且，呂公子也正是七殺令主手下的追魂使者。 中年漢子蹙眉接道：會不會是姓名相同呢？ 短裝老者訝然問道：你為何會有此種想法？ 中年漢子道：因為，據傳說，八個月之前，呂家莊遭到滅門慘禍時，並無活口逃出。 短裝老者截口說道：傳說事並不一定可靠的。 中年漢子接道：就算是那追魂使者果然是呂大俠的遺孤，也還有兩點沒法想通。 短裝老者道：你還有什麼問題想不通的？ 中年漢子道：第一、一個十七八歲的大男孩，在短短七八個月之間，就能練成那麼高大的武功，可實在難以使人相信。 短裝老者笑道：但事實上，呂公子委實已將西門總寨主弄得下不了台，而且，這傳說絕對是真實。 中年漢子蹙眉接道：如果這位追魂使者真是呂大俠的遺孤，又有那麼高的武功，則西門銳寨主就沒有理由，還能活著了。 短裝老者笑道：問得有理由，可是，方才我的消息還沒說完啊！ 那少年連忙接道：爺爺！你快點說吧！ 呂正英要的酒菜送了上來，對方的話題，也轉入他為何沒殺西門銳的原因上。 他一面自斟自吃著，一面傾聽對方的談話，那短裝老者的消息，雖然是根據傳說而來，卻也並不太離譜。 那短裝老者說完之後，目注那少年人，不勝感慨地說道：雲兒，那呂公子的年紀，比你大不了一兩歲，但人家卻已經 那少年人一挑劍眉，截口接道：爺爺，我要是能遇上像七殺令主那樣的絕代高人，我也一定會有呂公子那種成就的。 那短裝老者忽然幽幽一嘆，沒有接腔。 呂正英目前也算是半個大行家了，他已看出來那少年人資質、稟賦，可能並不比他差，這情形可使得他暫時忘去自己的處境，反而對那少年人生出濃厚的同情心來。 少年人一頓話鋒後，目注那短衫老者，蹙眉問：爺爺，不知那七殺令主會不會收徒弟？ 短裝老者苦笑道：我也不曾見過那七殺令主怎能知道他收不收徒弟。 那中年漢子輕輕一嘆道：別做白日夢了，快點吃東西！我們還得過江去呢了。 那三位的對話停止了。呂正英所叫的酒菜，已在不知不覺中吃去了一大半，當他的目光瞟向原先向他注目的兩位時，那兩位卻已正在向他注視著。 而且，那神態畏縮的藍衫文士，還向著他呲牙一笑道：年紀輕輕，膽子可真不小啊！ 那灰衫文士卻冷冷一笑道：冒充官差，查出來是要坐牢的。 這情形，已顯然是在說呂正英了，但呂正英卻還能沉得住氣，聽若未聞似的一派安詳。 那灰衫文士又冷笑一聲道：裝孫子，可解決不了問題啊！ 那藍衫文士附和著說道：是啊！如果縮在褲子裏，就能安全無事，天底下就不會有什麼橫禍了啦了。 那兩個人的話聲不算高，餐廳中顧客又多，因而他們的話，並沒引起什麼人的注意，但對呂正英而言，卻是一字字聽得清清楚楚。 當然，他內心的激動，是不難想見的，但他曾經忍受滅門慘禍那種痛苦，最近這半年多來，又在朱四娘與朱勝男二人的折辱之下，受夠了屈辱，因而對於忍的功夫，他已有很高的成就了。 他深知對方這種等於指名道姓的公然叫陣，尤其是在瞭解了自己的底細之後，還敢如此囂張，否則如非他們自己武功高強，必然是另有所恃。 也因為如此，如果他一時忍受不住，而與對方衝突起來，則自己遭受折辱，與犧牲性命，都算不了什麼，但使自己的滅門血恨冤枉沉海底，沒人湔雪，那就真是罪孽深重了。 因此，儘管他心中有著太多的憤恨，但同時卻也在不斷地提醒自己：忍、忍、忍不到最後關頭，決不出手，一出手，則必須先撈回本錢來。 那灰衫文士一見呂正英始終沒有反應，不由又冷笑一聲道：從今以後，追魂使者該改為縮頭烏龜才對啦！ 呂正英一挑雙眉，幾乎要跳了起來，但他又強行忍住。 那藍衫文士瞇著一雙老鼠眼，呲牙一笑道：王護法，莫非是我們的消息有了錯。 灰衫文士道：一切都很吻合，錯不了。 藍衫文士蹙眉說道：那麼，世間會有如此涵養功夫的人嗎？ 灰衫文士笑道：涵養功夫好，有什麼用，今宵，除非他會五行遁法，否則，嘿嘿 藍衫文士哈哈一笑道：可笑那位七殺令主還大言不慚地，企圖君臨武林，卻用上這些窩囊廢來打天下，真是活見他的大頭鬼！ 他的話聲才落，面前人影一閃，朱勝男與田斌，已雙雙出現在那兩位的座位前。 那兩位，微微一愣之間，朱勝男一手插腰，一手戟指那藍衫文士怒叱道：方才，你在說些什麼話？ 藍衫文士冷笑一聲道：你管不著！ 朱勝男扭頭向田斌喝道：奪命使者，給我掌嘴！ 田斌恭應一聲道：遵命！話聲中，兩聲噼啪脆響，也同時傳出。 那藍衫文士被揍得嘴角沁血，昏頭轉向，還來不及採取行動，一旁的灰衫文士已臉色一沉，虎地站起來，寒芒閃處，一枝青銅長劍，已電疾地刺向田斌的心窩。 田斌冷笑一聲，右手大袖一拂，捲住對方的長劍，左手並指如戟，逕行點向對方的將台重穴上，動作既狠且辣，又快速非常。 此情此景，除非那灰衫文士的功力高於田斌，否則，他除了棄劍後退之外，那就非死即傷了。 就當此危機一髮之間，那藍衫文士也回過神來，左掌右指分取田斌的右肩，和側門的章門要穴，口中並怒叱道：狂徒找死！ 同時，朱勝男卻沉聲喝問道：留活口！ yes! 田斌恭應聲中，身形微挫，微微一旋，口中沉喝一聲道：躺下！ 那兩位也真聽話，就在田斌身形一旋，右足順勢橫掃之間，兩人都已雙雙倒地，而灰衫文士手中的長劍，也到了田斌手中。 這當口，朱勝男卻向呂正英傳音說道：呂正英，你仍然要裝迷糊，不許洩漏身份！ 呂正英傳音恭應道：屬下知道了。 田斌已迅速地點了那兩位的穴道，仰首哈哈一笑道：原來你們兩個，只有一張嘴還能管用。 朱勝男戟指那灰衫文士，沉聲問道：你們是否來自無敵堡？ The gray-shirted scribe nodded and said: That's right. 朱勝男接問道：位居何職？ 灰衫文士道：咱們兩個，都是二級護法。 田斌淡然一笑道：一個二級護法，居然膽敢背後議論七殺令主和追魂使者真是壽星公上吊，有點嫌命長啦！ 灰衫文士注目笑道：你是誰？ 田斌一挑劍眉道：本人乃七殺令主座前的奪命使者田斌。 灰衫文士禁不住發出一聲驚啊道：你就是那自稱黃山派的掌門人的田斌？ 朱勝男搶先代答問道：不錯，他也就是你們主子的那位三徒申文炳所要找的人。 灰衫文士點點頭道：我知道。 朱勝男一蹙眉道：有一件事情我想不通，你如果能好好地給我解釋，待會，我給你一個全屍好了。 她說得那麼輕鬆地，沒當做一回事，就像是別人的命，不是人命似地。 灰衫文士臉色一變地道：那要看你問的事情，我是否知道了。 我想，你應該知道的。朱勝男慢應著，淡然一笑道：現在，我問你，據我所知，你們的二級護法與三級護法之間，功力相差還頗為合理，但二級護法與一級護法之間的功力，相差卻太遠了，你知道這是什麼原因嗎？ 灰衫文士哦了一聲道：這問題，我倒是可以答覆你，原因是：本堡的一級護法，本身功力強過我們，又能獲堡主親授絕藝，而我們這些人，卻無經殊榮。 朱勝男道：原來如此。 灰衫文士接道：自從你們在江湖上鬧事以來，聽說本堡堡主，已計劃採取新的行動。 田斌接問道：什麼行動？ 灰衫文士笑了笑道：沒有好處，我是不會說的。 朱勝男笑問道：你希望什麼好處？ 灰衫文士道：除非你能不殺我們。 朱勝男唔了一聲道：那要看你們所提供的消息，夠不夠份量了。 那灰衫文士道：一定夠份量的。 What do you think. 灰衫文士道：在沒獲得你們的承諾之前，我是不會說的。 朱勝男冷笑一聲道：那好辦得很！ 扭頭向田斌喝問道：奪命使者，這兩個是犯的七殺律令中的哪一條？ 田斌應聲答道：第四條。 朱勝男道：你唸給他們聽聽。 yes!田斌朗聲接道：七殺律令第四條，作奸犯科，為害江湖者。 朱勝男沉聲喝道：準備行刑！ 田斌恭應聲道：屬下已經準備好了 灰衫文士抗聲說道：你們怎能以莫須有之罪名殺人！ 朱勝男冷然說道：我認定你該死，你就得死！ 灰衫文士臉色一變道：這是鬧市之中，你們難道不怕王法？ 朱勝男格格地嬌笑道：王法？你們無敵堡平常殺人放火，幾曾顧慮過王法的？你們都可以不顧慮王法，那麼，七殺令主手下的人，就更不必顧慮這些啦！ 接著，臉色一沉道：我知道，你是在故意拖時間，以等待你的後台老闆，更可能你的後台老闆早就在這兒，因見到我來了，而嚇得不敢出面，所以，目前，你只有一條路可走，那就是：趕快說出你的消息來，我認為夠份量，可以貸你一死，否則，也還可以酌情給你一個全屍，可不要自誤。 灰衫文士臉色接連數變之後，才長嘆一聲道：好！I say, I say. 朱勝男冷然接道：我在聽著。 灰衫文士道：我的消息是：從現在開始，本堡所有各級護法人員，都將獲得堡主親傳絕藝。 田斌笑道：可惜為時已太晚了。 朱勝男冷笑道：縱然為時不晚，也挽救不了無敵堡的厄運。 田斌目注朱勝男笑道：大小姐，這兩位如何處置？ 朱勝男道：所提消息，份量不足以免死，但可以酌情給他們一個全屍。 田斌臉色一整道：屬下遵命。 話鋒中，他那枝奪自灰衫文士手中的青鋼長劍，像折甘蔗似的，一折為二，寒芒閃處，兩截斷劍已分別插入灰衫文士與藍衫文士的胸膛之中。 在一串慘號聲中，餐廳內引起一片驚呼與騷動，紛紛奪門而洮，就這當口，朱勝男卻向呂正英傳音說道：快回房間中去，等待後命。 呂正英聞言之後，自然是毫不考慮地，混在人潮中，擠出餐廳，向他自己的房間內走去。 這邊，田斌卻向朱勝男低聲說道：大小姐，這兒出了人命案，店家可吃不消。 朱勝男笑問道：依你之見呢？ 田斌正容說道：沾血留言表示咱們敢作敢當，再則加以替店家免除刑責，算得上一舉兩得。 朱勝男點首答道：好！Just do it. 田斌恭應著，以指沾著灰衫文士屍體上的鮮血，在牆壁上寫著：殺人者，乃七殺令主座前的奪命使者，與店家及旁人均不相干。 朱勝男點點頭道：還有對店家損失，從優估值，加倍賠償。 方才這一陣大亂，除損失一大批酒菜不曾收得之外，還打破不少杯盤碗盞，兼出了兩條人命，使得這客棧的主人，正惶急得如喪考妣之際，不料情況急轉直下，不但人命問題不致吃官司，連所受損失，也變成對本暴利，這一喜可真是非同小可，使他們向著朱勝男與田斌兩人，連連打躬作揖道謝不休。 這時，餐廳中，除了兩具屍體之外，就只有朱勝男與田斌、店主人等三位活人了。 另外，還有兩個小二站在門口直打哆嗦。 田斌目光一掃之後，蹙眉說道：大小姐，目前情況，大有蹊蹺。 朱勝男問道：此話怎講？ 田斌道：按方才那情形，他們顯然是有高級人員在這兒的，為什麼卻眼看自己的手下被殺，而不出面呢？ 朱勝男笑道：可能我們來了，而被嚇得不敢出面了吧！ No!田斌正容接道：以方才那藍衫文士與灰衫文士二人的功力，決非呂正英的對手，他們之所以膽敢對呂正英如此戲侮，必然有功力奇高的人在一旁撐腰。 門口傳來一人冰冷的話聲道：小子，你說對了！ 隨著話聲，餐廳門口已出現兩位年輕人，和一位中年婦人。 那中年婦人，年紀三十七八，一張鴨蛋臉，兩道柳葉眉，五官配合得恰到好處，身體不瘦也不肥襯托上那一身青色衫裙，顯得清麗脫俗，有如一枝空谷幽蘭。 那年輕的兩位，則赫然是申文炳與水湘雲，至於方才那句冰冷的話聲，則是出自申文炳口中。 田斌還不曾與申文炳打過交道，自然不認識，因而聞言之下不由怒叱一道：你是什麼東西？ 申文炳目注朱勝男，淡淡地一笑道：朱姑娘，是否可以給我們引見一下？ 朱勝男冷然接道：奪命使者田斌，也就是你所要找的黃山派的掌門人。 申文炳截口笑道：這真是踏破鐵鞋無覓處，得來全不費功夫了。 朱勝男卻向田斌說道：田斌，這就是無敵堡堡主最得意的高徒申文炳。 說著，並抬手向申文炳一指，申文炳卻是冷笑著，話鋒一轉道：有了追魂使者的經驗，對你這個奪命使者我已提不起興趣來，不過，衝著你這塊黃山派掌門人的招牌，我還要同你較量一番，以了宿願。 田斌卻是好整以暇待，注目問道：那另兩位是什麼人？
