Chapter 9 Chapter 9 Crossing the Dangerous Pass and Masquerading as Mother and Child
When they made a circle on the river, the four speedboats that surrounded them again were also approaching. One of them rammed towards Lu Zhengying's boat with a sharp arrow off the string, and rammed into it. There was a sneer: go down and drink water!
Lu Zhengying's boat suddenly made a sharp 90-degree spin, avoiding the other side's mid-bump by a hair, and at the same time, with a split palm with his right hand, he hit the surface of the river, sparking a stream of water arrows and shooting towards the river. The well-dressed man at the bow.
The well-dressed man was afraid of being plotted under the obstruction of his sight, before the water arrow could hit him, he had already lay down on the deck, and his small boat swung past in time.
The reaction of this well-dressed man was not slow, but it was still a bit slow. On his left shoulder, he was still hit by some sawdust from the beautiful woman in Tsing Yi. The pain caused him to let out a wail before he raised his voice and shouted. : The idea sticks with each other, shoulder to shoulder!
This is Jianghu slang, which means that the enemy is too strong, everyone should join together.
But in fact, without waiting for him to greet, the other three small boats rushed up in three directions.
The beautiful woman in Tsing Yi raised her silk scarf on her face, and said with a low voice: "Sword coming!"
Lu Zhengying responded respectfully, and quickly handed over his green steel long sword.With a sword in hand, the beautiful woman in Tsing Yi can be regarded as like a tiger with wings added.
She didn't wait for the three small boats to encircle her, and she flew up, a blue rainbow circled around the space, and the six well-dressed men on the three small boats, amidst the screams, turned into twelve paragraphs. , and the beautiful woman in Tsing Yi floated down on her boat lightly and gracefully.At the same time, Lu Zhengying nimbly dodged the three rushing boats, and the three out-of-control boats collided with each other amidst a loud bang. It's a mess.
Those who blocked the river faced several tough nails one after another, and although four or five shuttle-shaped speedboats surrounded them, they did not dare to approach any further, and just circled in circles from a distance.Under Lu Zhengying's eyes, he laughed loudly and said: "If you are not afraid of death, come up quickly!"
The beautiful woman in Tsing Yi said in a low voice: Ask their leader to answer.
Lu Zhengying raised his voice and shouted: Hi!Stop running around in circles, call your bosses, I have something to say.
From the small boat on the right, a sneer came and said: Don't be arrogant, our village master will be here soon.
Yes, on the blockade line, there is already a large building ship sailing up against the current.
Lu Zhengying asked in surprise, "Master of the village?"Aren't you from Invincible Fort?
The person on the small boat said: We are the Xiangjiang water village, but we are controlled by the Invincible Fort.
Lu Zhengying grumbled and said, "So I'm a friend of the Xiangshui Water Village. My Lu's Village and the Xiangjiang Water Village are not on holiday!"But why do you want to make such a detrimental act?
The man on the small boat smiled bitterly and said: Mr. Lu, it is useless to tell me about this matter!
The beautiful woman in Tsing Yi whispered: Don't talk nonsense with them, save some energy and prepare to fight.
Lu Zhengying laughed softly: "Senior, if it's for the people in the Xiangjiang Water Village, I think this fight can be avoided, but I don't know if the owner of the Water Village has changed?"
The beautiful woman in Tsing Yi asked in surprise: What?Do you have friendship with the owner of the Xiangjiang water village?
Lu Zhengying said: "It's not that Xiao Ke has friendship with him, but one of Xiao Ke's uncles, who is the chief steward of Zhu Siniang, the commander of the Seven Killing Commander, who judged Liu Ziqi and Uncle Liu with his hands. Same brother.
The beautiful woman in Tsing Yi sighed and said: "It would be great to have a peaceful settlement. I'm afraid that your hope will come to nothing."
Lu Zhengying was startled and said: Why?
The beautiful woman in Tsing Yi said: "What can a small water village master be under the Invincible Fort?"Can he be the master?
Lu Zhengying frowned slightly, but didn't answer.
The building boat that was going upstream from the blockade line was getting closer and closer.In the bright lights, the flag flying on the flagpole can already be clearly seen.The topmost side is a black triangular flag representing Invincible Fort, embroidered with two big gold characters of Chunyu, and a smaller flag with silver characters on a black background, which is a Xing character.
Under Lu Zhengying's eyes, he said as if talking to himself: "It's him, but the person hasn't changed."
The beautiful woman in Tsing Yi said: "What's the name of this water village master named Xing?"
Lu Zhengying said: "That Xing Wujiu is nicknamed Langli Baitiao."He paused, then smiled and asked suddenly: As one of the top figures in the Invincible Castle, senior, you don't even know who the owner of the water village is?
The beautiful woman in Tsing Yi said: Normally, I don't care about things at all, how can I know this?
The building boat was getting closer and closer, and the beautiful woman in Tsing Yi suddenly sighed faintly: Zhengying, in order to achieve your goal of establishing your own family, you must also pay attention to win over your father's old and old family friends in normal times.
Lu Zhengying said solemnly: "Thank you, senior, Xiao Ke wrote it down."
The large ship was ten feet away, but there were bright lights on the deck, and there were figures of people, and someone raised his voice and said, "Master Lu, please answer."
Lu Zhengying raised his voice and said: What advice do you have?
On the side of the building boat, a man pretending to be a big man appeared, bent down and said: "It's not convenient for us to talk like this. Mr. Lu is a general who has just established himself as a forward in the village. I wonder if he has the guts to come aboard our boat?"
Lu Zhengying laughed and said: Ximenrui's chief rudder in the green forests of the seven southern provinces, I can do it all!What is a mere building boat in the Xiangjiang water village!
The well-dressed man smiled and said: "Grand Lu, at this time and at that time, you can break into the main rudder of Ximen's chief village master, but you may not be able to break into this small building boat in this village."
Lu Zhengying sneered and said: Don't be aggressive, I will break in if necessary.
The beautiful woman in Tsing Yi said via voice transmission: Ask who is hosting and prepare to board the boat.
Lu Zhengying nodded and said, "Who are you?"
The man dressed up said, "I'm next to De Wei, the master of Xunjiang hall in the Xiangjiang water village."
Lu Zhengying said: "It turned out to be Master Du, Xiao Ke is disrespectful."Then, he asked in a deep voice: "Is Village Master Xing on board?"
Dewey replied: This is the Zhaizhu's ship, of course the Zhaizhu is on board.
Lu Zhengying said in a deep voice: Then, Xiao Ke is coming up.
Dewey smiled and said: Welcome, welcome!
In the sound of welcome, the escalator has been lowered from the side of the ship.
Lu Zhengying's boat approached the building boat, and after fastening the boat, he and the beautiful woman in Tsing Yi climbed up the stairs.
The beautiful woman in Tsing Yi returned the Qingsteel long sword in her hand to Lu Zhengying and said: "I will return this to you."
Lu Zhengying smiled and said: "Senior, maybe there is still time to use it."
The beautiful woman in Tsing Yi said: If necessary, I can borrow from them.
Lu Zhengying smiled and said: This is a good way.
While talking, the two had already boarded the deck, and as far as they could see, there were quite a lot of enemies on the deck.Near the front of the official cabin, there are two tiger-skin chairs side by side.
Sitting on the top chairs were a big man with a curly beard and a green-clothed scholar in his early thirties.
On both sides of the deck, there were more than twenty pine oil torches, shining on the well-dressed men standing on both sides, looking majestic and murderous.
Lu Zhengying stepped on the deck, and when he looked up, the beautiful woman in Tsing Yi sent him a voice transmission and said: Zhengying, I will take care of the scholars in Tsing Yi.
Lu Zhengying asked via voice transmission: Who is that?
The beautiful woman in Tsing Yi answered via voice transmission: It's Chun Yukun's second apprentice, Si Danian.
While the sound transmission was speaking, the two had already walked to the middle of the deck, and the beautiful woman in Tsing Yi said through the sound transmission: Zhengying, don't have any relationship with the Xing village master for the time being, and wait for my sound transmission notification.
Lu Zhengying naturally understood the intention of the beautiful woman in Tsing Yi.
Because, with Chun Yukun's second apprentice, Si Danian, even if Xing Wujiu wanted to save face, he couldn't do it on his own, so he had to play by ear.
At this time, on the deck, except for the whistling of the river wind and the screeching of those pine oil torches, there was no sound at all.
Lu Zhengying and the beautiful woman in Tsing Yi stood side by side ten feet away in front of Si Danian and Xing Wujiu's seats, Si Danian sneered and said: "You two, you two are so brave!"
Lu Zhengying knew who the other two were, but he deliberately asked with a smile: Is this the Xing village master?
Xing Wujiu at the side hastily continued: No!This is Mr. Si Danian, the proud disciple of the Master of Invincible Castle Chunyu.
The beautiful woman in Tsing Yi then asked: So, Your Excellency is the Lord of Xing Village?
The bearded man (i.e. Xing Wujiu) nodded and continued: Not bad!
Si Danian looked at the beautiful woman in Tsing Yi and asked: Who are you?
The beautiful woman in Tsing Yi continued coldly: You don't deserve to ask!
This tone made Si Danian startled and said: Are you the Commander of Seven Kills?
The beautiful woman in Tsing Yi smiled and said: If I were the Lord of the Seven Killing Orders, how could I still have your life!
Then, focusing on Xing Wujiu, he asked in a deep voice: Village Master Xing, who is in charge here?
Xing Wujiu said: "Naturally, it is Si Xianggong who decides.
The cold and stern eyes of the beautiful woman in Tsing Yi focused on Si Danian through the veiled veil, and asked sharply: "Si Danian, what do you say?"
Si Danian sneered and said: "What I mean is, you two, it's better to be more sensible, and keep your hands tied to avoid the pain of flesh and blood."
The beautiful woman in Tsing Yi took her leisurely time and asked with attention: Si Danian, how many assistants did you bring from the Invincible Fort?
Si Danian laughed loudly and said: What a joke!With our company's senior year, we still need to bring an assistant.
The purpose of the beautiful woman in Tsing Yi's questioning is to find out how many people from the Invincible Fort are there so as to find out the opponent's strength.
Now, with Si Danian's words, things are much easier to handle.
She turned her head to Lu Zhengying and said in a deep voice: Zhengying, as the saying goes, when you shoot a man, you shoot a horse first, and when you capture a thief, you capture the king first. Leave this surname to me, and you deal with that village master Xing.
Lu Zhengying responded respectfully, and with a clang, he had revealed his green steel long sword, pointing at Xing Wujiu with the halberd, and shouted in a deep voice: "Master Xing, please!"
Xing Wujiu picked up a machete beside the seat, stood up and sneered, "The puppy doesn't know how to live or die, so I will help you!"
With a slash on the ground, he slashed across the waist, but he said with a voice transmission of true energy: My nephew, Uncle Xing was forced by the situation to try to protect you. I know you are very good at swimming, so let's escape from the bottom of the water!
Lu Zhengying dodged the opponent's sharp edge, returned a sword, and said via voice transmission: "Thank you, Uncle Xing, my nephew has a way to escape, just wait for Si Danian to be restrained."
This pair of them is very realistic, in the eyes of others, the two sides are fighting like a raging fire, but in fact it is a false story, talking to each other through sound transmission.
Then Xing Wujiu said through voice transmission: "Who is that lady?"
Lu Zhengying said with a bitter smile: I don't know who she is, but she has helped me a lot.
At this moment, the beautiful woman in Tsing Yi also fought against Si Danian.
Naturally, Si Danian was no match for the beautiful woman in Tsing Yi, so he was forced to retreat every time he started.
Si Danian didn't expect the opponent to be so powerful, so after being forced to take three steps in succession, he couldn't help but asked in amazement: You know Benbao's swordsmanship, who are you?
The beautiful woman in Tsing Yi is one of Si Danian's mistresses, so she will naturally know the sword skills of Invincible Fort.
At this moment, although the beautiful woman in Tsing Yi is facing the long sword with her bare hands, she seems to be familiar with the opponent's swordsmanship, and she is familiar with the opponent's swordsmanship, making Si Danian feel so frightened under the pressure. asked in surprise.The beautiful woman in Tsing Yi was a little embarrassed at the moment.
Because she wanted to keep her identity a secret, and at the same time preserve the strength of the Xiangjiang water village for Lu Zhengying, it was really difficult to have both.
The facts are obvious, if she kills Si Danian, there is no reason for Xing Wujiu of Xiangjiang Water Village to be alive, but if Si Danian is left behind, Si Danian may figure out her own identity.
She couldn't make up her mind for a while, and the attack in her hand also invisibly relaxed, and she sneered in her mouth: "The people of the Seven Killing Commander know your martial arts like the back of the back of your hand, you little dog, you are so rare!"
Si Danian asked in a deep voice: I ask who are you?
The beautiful woman in Tsing Yi sneered and said: "You little dog, go to the King of Hades and ask!"
At this time, Lu Zhengying and Xing Wujiu's voice transmission conversation has roughly reached the same level.
Since Si Danian was under less pressure, he couldn't research the reason. Seeing that Xing Wujiu and Lu Zhengying were inseparable from each other, he couldn't help shouting: Village Master Xing, why did you sacrifice your strengths for your weaknesses? Hurry up and force that kid into the water!
Xing Wujiu raised his voice and replied: This old man also thinks so!
Si Danian's suggestion to force Lu Zhengying to go into the water made the beautiful woman in Tsing Yi's heart move, and she asked Xing Wujiu via voice transmission: Village Master Xing, how is Si Danian's water quality?
Xing Wujiu was slightly taken aback, only then did he realize that the mysterious beautiful woman in Tsing Yi was asking him, and immediately replied via voice transmission: "Mrs., it's a landlubber."
The beautiful woman in Tsing Yi continued: "I will force this guy into the water, you go down to rescue him yourself, but you must drown him half to death before you can rescue him."
Xing Wujiu replied via voice transmission: I know this old man.
Also, the beautiful woman in Tsing Yi said via voice transmission: Later, you will also pretend to be controlled by Lu Zhengying underwater, so that we can break through.
Xing Wujiu replied via voice transmission: Yes.
At this moment, the beautiful woman in Tsing Yi suddenly made a strange move, forcing Si Danian to the side of the boat, Si Danian hadn't finished turning his bad thoughts, the beautiful woman in Tsing Yi scolded: "Puppy get down!"
Si Danian let out an exclamation, flew up from the building boat, and fell straight into the middle of the river. With a loud noise, a column of water was stirred up on the river.
At this time, the rest of the minions shouted loudly: "It's not good, Mr. Si fell into the river!"
The beautiful woman in Tsing Yi shouted in a deep voice: Put down the weapon, you can avoid death!
There was a murmur in Jiang's heart, followed by Si Danian's exclamation: Help!
Xing Wujiu made a false move and jumped into the river, but Si Danian disappeared again.
As soon as the two leaders on the tall ship fell into the river, and the beautiful woman in Tsing Yi shouted loudly, those minions and little bosses were really intimidated, and the deck fell silent.
But before Xing Wujiu fell into the river, he had conveyed the meaning of the beautiful woman in Tsing Yi to Lu Zhengying through sound transmission with true energy, so as soon as Xing Wujiu jumped into the river, Lu Zhengying immediately jumped into the river and laughed: "Xing Wujiu, even if you escape to Crystal Palace, I want you back too!
The words fell to the ground, and with a plop, people also jumped into the heart of the river.
At this time, there was only the beautiful woman in Tsing Yi on the deck, confronting the minions from the Xiangjiang Water Village.
Seeing the beautiful woman in Tsing Yi, the people on the other side were quite obedient, and then she said in a deep voice again: Mr. Lu and I are just going to Xiakou from here, as long as you keep quiet, we will never hurt you.
With a bang, a big wet man appeared on the surface of the river, holding a half-dead man in his hands, and shouted loudly: "Hurry up and take Si Xianggong over!"
It turns out that these two are exactly Xing Wujiu and Si Danian.Xing Wujiu is really worthy of the nickname of Baitiao in the Waves, he is holding a Si Danian in his hand, but the river water has only reached his knees!
A shuttle-shaped speedboat flew forward and picked up Si Danian, who was half drowned.
There was another clap, Lu Zhengying emerged from the river a few feet away, laughed loudly and said: Xing Wujiu, I finally found you!Come, come, come, let's fight another hundred times.
Xing Wujiu sneered and said: "Puppy, who is afraid that you will fail, let's go!"Let's go up to the deck again.
Lu Zhengying smiled and said: "It's nothing to kill you on the deck. To deal with you, a pirate leader who is known as the white stripe in the waves, you must show your skills in the water."
Xing Wujiu scolded angrily: "Puppy wants to die, I will help you!"Before the words fell, the person stepped on the water and rushed towards Lu Zhengying.
A jet of water shot towards Xing Wujiu, and Lu Zhengying said with a smile: You should try this first.
Naturally, a jet of water arrows couldn't stop Xing Wujiu, so before Lu Zhengying could finish his words, Xing Wujiu had already rushed in front of him, and a water battle started again.Although these two are fake, but because their performances are realistic, especially in the middle of the river, they fight from the surface of the river to the bottom of the water, and from the bottom to the surface of the river, but seeing the waves rolling and splashing, it is impossible to see them It's just a play.
What's more, the bystanders are all from Xiangjiang Water Village, that is, Xing Wujiu's old subordinates, junior soldiers, no one suspects that their leader is just playing.But in fact, they can't help but have this affectation.
Because knowing people, knowing their faces, not knowing their hearts, in a situation where there are too many people, it is inevitable that some people will be secretly bought by Invincible Fort. explain.
Therefore, their performance of this water battle was so realistic and brilliant that the onlookers were stunned and their voices were unbelievable. I couldn't help but say through voice transmission: My nephew, recently there have been rumors about your powerful deeds in Hugou, I thought it was a bit exaggerated, but now, I completely believe it.
Lu Zhengying said via voice transmission: Uncle Xing won the award. In fact, considering the current martial arts situation, my nephew's achievements have not yet begun!
Xing Wujiu said: "That's not bad, in the future, you should learn a lot of kung fu under the command of your Lingzhu."
Lu Zhengying said: My nephew will.
Xing Wujiu said through voice transmission: By the way, when your Uncle Liu passed by here, we talked and talked about you.
At this time, a clear voice came from a shuttle-shaped speedboat: "Report to the village master, Si Xianggong has woken up."
Xing Wujiu raised his voice and replied: Quickly send him to the ship so that he can rest.
The man on the speedboat said: Village Master, no!There is also a very powerful enemy on the ship.
Xing Wujiu said: Then let him rest on the boat!This seat will come right away.
Lu Zhengying laughed loudly and said: Xing, don't dream about Spring and Autumn, you also lie down and rest for a while!
Xing Wujiu scolded angrily: "Fart!Immediately afterwards, he said with true energy: "There is no longer any delay, let's go to the bottom of the water."
Lu Zhengying shouted loudly: "Old man, come down!"
Following these words, the two sank into the water almost at the same time, leaving only a string of water bags on the water surface.
At this time, the beautiful woman in Tsing Yi said to the people on the shuttle boat: Hey, send Si Danian up!
The people on the speedboat sneered: Why should I listen to you!
The beautiful woman in Tsing Yi said in a deep voice: "Send it up obediently, I won't hurt him."
The person on the speedboat smiled and said: If you have the ability, you can get down by yourself!
The beautiful woman in Tsing Yi smiled and said: "Do you think this distance can make it hard for me?"
With a splash, Lu Zhengying emerged from the water, supported Xing Wujiu with both hands, laughed loudly and said: "The white stripes in the waves have turned into loaches."
The faces of all the people in the Xiangjiang water village changed, and Lu Zhengying said again in a vibrating voice: "Senior, please follow this fellow."
Following the words, he flung Xing Wujiu's huge body onto the boat.
After the beautiful woman in Tsing Yi caught Xing Wujiu, she immediately raised her voice and said: Zhengying, throw Si Danian up too.
Lu Zhengying raised his voice and asked, "Where is Si Danian?"
The beautiful woman in Tsing Yi raised her hand and pointed: "It's on the small boat five zhang away in front of you. Before she finished speaking, Lu Zhengying had rushed towards the small boat."
For the people on the Xiangjiang River, the change in this instant was too unexpected and too fast, so fast that they had no time to react.Just take the people on that boat as an example!It wasn't until Lu Zhengying rushed towards them that he turned the bow of the boat and prepared to sail downstream as if awakened from a dream.
But what skill is Lu Zhengying, the small boat just started, he has already jumped on the small boat, grabbed the well-dressed man with his arms around his chest, and shouted in a deep voice: "Friend, you need to be more sensible!"
The man hurriedly begged in a mournful voice: "Master Lu, please forgive me, there is still a 70-year-old mother at home."
Lu Zhengying laughed and said, "I won't kill you, just drive the boat to the upper boat for me!"
The man kept saying respectfully, "Yes, yes."
At this time, the leaders and minions of the Xiangjiang water village on the building boat saw that their village master had been controlled by the beautiful woman in green clothes, so they all yelled and surrounded them regardless of their own safety.
Under the gaze of the beautiful woman in Tsing Yi, she couldn't help but think to herself: It is true that there is a way for pirates, these pirates are quite loyal, and it also proves that this Xing Wujiu is loved by his subordinates, such a bloody Man, it is worth fighting for.
Her thoughts turned, but she shouted in a deep voice: Everyone stay where you are, your village master is just acupoints restricted, and Mr. Lu and I have no intention of hurting him.
Before he finished speaking, Lu Zhengying's voice came from the river: "Senior, continue with this."
It turned out that Si Danian was also thrown up by Lu Zhengying.The beautiful woman in Tsing Yi had no choice but to free up one hand, took Si Danian and laid it flat on the deck.
A figure flashed, and Lu Zhengying, who was all wet, also went on the deck, waved to the surrounding leaders and said, "Stand back, everyone, I want to have a few words with your village masters."
Those people from the Xiangjiang water village, although their hearts were full of surprises and doubts, had no choice but to retreat as they said, and one of them said in a deep voice: "Mr. Lu, I hope you will keep your promise and not hurt our village master and you." Si Xianggong, otherwise, we know that we are invincible, and we will have to fight to the death.
Lu Zhengying smiled and said: My friend, please don't worry, I will never hurt a single hair of your village master.
Then, Ling Kong raised his finger to untie the acupoints of Xing Wujiu and Si Danian, and asked with a smile: "It's really rude, you two get up!"
Xing Wujiu straightened up and sat up, Si Danian was drowned to death just now and hadn't adjusted his breath properly, and he struggled for a long time before he managed to sit up.
Lu Zhengying continued with a smile: "Master Xing, I can't take it too seriously, but the two of you have to please give me a convenience."
Xing Wujiu paid attention and asked: How to facilitate the method?
Lu Zhengying said: The matter is very simple, that is to borrow your ship and give me a ride.
The beautiful woman in Tsing Yi hurriedly said: No!As long as he breaks the blockade, we'll still be in our own dinghy.
Lu Zhengying echoed and said: Yes!That's how it works.
Xing Wujiu smiled wryly and said: Mr. Lu, I just said that at present, it is not the old man who decides.
Lu Zhengying shifted his gaze to Si Danian and asked: Si Danian, what do you say?
Si Danian sneered and remained silent.
The beautiful woman in Tsing Yi had already seen that Si Danian was using his true power silently, and was about to make a sudden attack. At that moment, she sneered and said: "You boy, don't worry about it!"
As soon as he said the words, he raised his finger in the air, and tapped Si Danian's two big acupoints, moreover, it can be regarded as non-stop, he followed the same pattern, and Xing Wujiu's acupoints were also repressed.
certainly!The action of the beautiful woman in Tsing Yi was not because she was afraid that Xing Wujiu would do something extraneous, but because she deliberately performed it for Si Danian.
Si Danian also sneered: "Then, let's just waste it like this!"
Lu Zhengying scolded angrily: Si Danian, you think I dare not kill you!
Si Danian smiled and said: Then why didn't you kill him?
Lu Zhengying said: I will fulfill you.Then, he said to the beautiful woman in Tsing Yi: "Senior, since they are looking for death, we will take them and break through the blockade, and then kill this fellow."
The beautiful woman in Tsing Yi nodded and said: Good!Just do it.
Xing Wujiu hurriedly begged Lu Zhengying: Mr. Lu, please wait a moment, let me persuade Si Xianggong.
Lu Zhengying continued coldly: "Then you have to hurry up, we don't have time to wait."
yes!yes!Xing Wujiu repeatedly said respectfully.Turning to Si Danian with a wry smile, "Si Xianggong, as the saying goes, people have to bow their heads under the eaves. Tonight, since we have stumbled, why not be more generous and let them go, so as to preserve our usefulness." body, as a revenge for revenge in the future.
A vigorous voice came from the boat above: Yes!Those who know the current affairs are heroes, and those who don't know the current affairs are stupid.
Si Danian shouted sharply: Who is it?
The voice on the upstairs boat said: "A bad old man passing by also wants to be honored by Mr. Lu, so go east together."
Si Danian let out a long sigh and said: "Time decay is tricking people, all right, Village Master Xing, let you figure it out."
Xing Wujiu said: In that case, the old man will open the blockade.
Si Danian sighed dejectedly and said: I have already said, let you figure it out.
Thank you Mr. Si!
Xing Wujiu turned his head to a leader standing beside him, and said in a deep voice: Lord Wang Xiang, send an order to let Mr. Lu and others pass through.
The Lord Xiang, surnamed Wang, responded respectfully and said: "Your subordinate obeys orders."
Lu Zhengying quickly continued: "Also, I don't want to be disturbed in the slightest. All the archers on the blockade will also be withdrawn."
Xing Wujiu smiled and said: Mr. Lu, the ships on the blockade have all been withdrawn, how can there be archers?
Lu Zhengying continued coldly: I hope you will keep your word.
Then, he said to the beautiful woman in Tsing Yi: "Senior, go back to our boat!"
OKThe beautiful woman in Tsing Yi glanced at Si Danian and Xing Wujiu and said: "Listen up, both of you, the acupoints you ordered will be cured within an hour, I hope you don't fall into my hands again."
After finishing speaking, he and Lu Zhengying floated down on the remaining small boat. Next to their small boat, there was another small boat tied to it, and there were two people sitting side by side on the small boat.Of those two, one was Yun'er among the three who sat at the same dining table in the Xiaoxiang Villa in Hengshan City, and who had talked about Lu Zhengying about him.
The other was an old man in yellow who claimed to be the Master of Invincible Fortress who repeatedly wanted to accept him as an apprentice.
When Lu Zhengying came into view, he was slightly taken aback, but the old man in the yellow shirt bared his teeth and said with a smile: My son is so majestic!
Lu Zhengying smiled modestly: The old man is wrong.
As he spoke, he started to untie the thick ropes that tied the boat to the big boat.
But the old man in yellow asked with a smile: Lu Zhengying, do you know this kid?
Lu Zhengying smiled and said: Yes, I know his name is Yun'er.
Then, he smiled heartily and said: Congratulations to the old man, you have accepted a good apprentice.
The old man in yellow twirled his beard and said with a smile: You don't need to be envious, and don't be jealous, my old man welcomes you to vote for me anytime and anywhere.
When the thick cable was untied, Lu Zhengying swung the big boat with a small boat and said with a smile: I don't envy, I don't envy, and I don't regret it, but I have to congratulate this little brother Yun.After a pause, Cai Lang continued with a smile: Brother Yun'er, congratulations?
Yun'er was a little shy and said with a smile: Mr. Lu, why didn't you come down from my master's door?My master's ability is very great.
Lu Zhengying's boat was already going down the river, but he raised his voice and said: "Little brother, I don't want to worship Master yet."
Then, he asked again: Where are you two going?
It turned out that the two boats had sailed to the left bank.
Yun'er laughed loudly and said: We are going to go by land.
The old man in yellow also raised his voice and said with a smile: "Son, my old man doesn't want to take advantage of you and break through this blockade. This trip is specially to send Yun'er here to let you get to know each other so that we don't want to meet in the future. know
In the voice, the small boat shot towards the left bank like an arrow from the string, and the eastern sky had a white maw.
The old man in yellow and Yun'er quickly disappeared from sight, and the boat that was blocking the water also evacuated from the river in that moment.
Lu Zhengying and the beautiful woman in Tsing Yi went down the river in the early morning light.
The beautiful woman in Tsing Yi sighed softly: In the martial arts world, there are truly superior people, and there is a sky beyond the sky.
Lu Zhengying asked with a smile: Why do seniors sigh like this?
The beautiful woman in Tsing Yi said: "I'm talking about the old man in yellow. If I didn't miss him, his achievements have reached an unfathomable and profound state."
Lu Zhengying couldn't help being startled and said: Strange?Don't seniors know him?
The beautiful woman in Tsing Yi asked in surprise: Why do I know him?
Lu Zhengying smiled wryly: Isn't he Chun Yukun's master?
The beautiful woman in Tsing Yi was startled and said: No!Although his appearance is 70% similar to Chun Yukun's master, I dare to conclude that he is not Chun Yukun's master.
Lu Zhengying said: Maybe he used the disguise technique?
The beautiful woman in Tsing Yi continued confidently: "Transfiguration, absolutely cannot escape my eyes."
She paused, and then immediately asked: From what he said just now, it seems that he intends to accept you as an apprentice?
Lu Zhengying nodded and said, "Yes, I have already told you several times.
The beautiful woman in Tsing Yi continued: Why didn't you agree to such a good opportunity?
Lu Zhengying smiled wryly and said: It is because he claimed to be Chun Yukun's master that I refused.
The beautiful woman in Tsing Yi said: "I'm absolutely sure that the old man in yellow is not Chun Yukun's master.
Lu Zhengying asked with a smile: What is the basis for seniors to dare to be so sure?
The beautiful woman in Tsing Yi said: "Chun Yukun's master is a hungry ghost. He will never let go of any attractive woman. Although I have a beautiful face, I am confident that my appearance will not be too ugly." , if this old man in yellow was Chun Yukun's master, he would never leave without paying attention to me.
Lu Zhengying frowned and continued: Senior's analysis is quite reasonable, but if he is not Chun Yukun's master, why pretend to be him?
The beautiful woman in Tsing Yi murmured and said: This matter is really puzzling.
After a pause, he continued with attention: Zhengying, when you meet him again in the future, I hope you don't miss this opportunity.
OKLu Zhengying smiled and said: "However, I have to ask him first, who is he, I can't worship someone of unknown origin as my master!"
The beautiful woman in Tsing Yi sighed faintly, but didn't answer.
Lu Zhengying continued expectantly: "Senior, why did Chun Yukun kill my whole family? I think you must know?"
The beautiful woman in Tsing Yi nodded and said: Yes, I know.
Lu Zhengying continued: Now, can you tell me?
A healthy pigeon skimmed low over the river and shot downstream.
The beautiful woman in Tsing Yi sighed softly: "Zhengying, we can't go by water anymore."
Lu Zhengying frowned and asked: Was that a carrier pigeon just now?
The beautiful woman in Tsing Yi nodded and said: Yes, if I encounter another interception, even if I try my best to reveal my identity, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you!
Lu Zhengying paid attention and asked: Then, the meaning of the senior is
The beautiful woman in Tsing Yi said resolutely: Before dawn, abandon the boat and go ashore, hurry up!
Good Lu Zhengying responded respectfully, swiped his oars vigorously, and the boat shot towards the left bank.
In the evening of that day, the location was next to a small village at the junction of Mount Heng and Xiangtan.
This small village is still in the border of Hengshan County, but once you pass this small village, you will be in the border of Xiangtan County.The boundary between the two counties is a dangerous road. This road is carved out of a cliff. It is only wide enough for two riders to ride abreast. It is more than half a mile long. Looking down at the rolling turbid waves tens of feet below, timid friends will really tremble with fright!
Now, on this dangerous road, there are more than a dozen well-dressed men holding single knives, talking and laughing loudly like no one else around.
These people are not like the checkpoints of the government, nor are they like robbers cutting trails, but in fact, they are checking the past travel, but the objects they check are from Hengshan to the north, as for the south from Xiangtan, they are not. Don't ask.The inspection operation is not too harsh, nor does it loot property, but it will never be a helper for tigers. Anyone who goes north must be inspected before they can be released.
Moreover, when meeting a young and slightly attractive female customer, it is inevitable to touch her up and down and be frivolous. Therefore, ordinary business travelers hate her in their hearts, but dare to be angry and dare not speak out.
When the night gradually fell, a bodyguard team composed of fifteen horsemen and horses also just rushed to this section of the dangerous road.
There was no bodyguard car accompanying this escort team, and there was not a single rider, and all of them, including the flag bearers, were dressed as bodyguards.
It can be seen from the escort flag that this is the most prestigious escort agency Wuyang escort agency in the seven southern provinces.
However, under the current circumstances, this well-established bodyguard agency was no exception and was blocked.
When they reached the temporary checkpoint set up by those well-dressed men, one of the leader-like people shouted in a deep voice: "Everyone get off their horses and undergo inspection!"
The front flag guard in the Wuyang Escort was slightly taken aback, and said with a smile: "My friend, the next class is from the Wuyang Escort."
The leader continued coldly: I have seen your dart flags.
The guard in charge of the flag frowned and asked: May I ask which line my friend belongs to?
The leader carried his hands on his back, raised his face and responded casually: Invincible Fort.
The guard in charge of the flag said: "Wuyang Security Bureau and Invincible Fort have always lived in peace, and they are considered good friends."
The leader raised his face and said, "I know this situation."
At this moment, the fourteen riders behind all stopped and got off their horses. A short man who was obviously the leader of the group lined up in front of the crowd and asked in a deep voice: "What's the matter?"
The guard in charge of the flag responded respectfully: "Go back to the chief escort, friends from Invincible Fort stopped the way for inspection."
The leader of the Invincible Fort saw that there was actually a Chief Escort in the other party's ranks, so he restrained his arrogance a little, and nodded slightly to the Chief Escort who was looking at him, "Hello Zhou Daxia?"
The chief bodyguard curled his lips and said: TOEFL, TOEFL.
Then, Cai Jing's eyes shone brightly and said in a deep voice: I'm sorry, Zhou Zi really doesn't know you!
It turned out that the Chief Escort was Zhou Zizhen, who enjoyed a high reputation in the Southern Seven Provinces.
In terms of his reputation, he is much more resounding than Lu Zhengying's father, Xiangxi swordsman Lu Weiping. However, this person's appointment as the chief bodyguard of the Wuyang Bodyguard Bureau is probably only in the last few days.
With this person's identity and status, it's no wonder that he has such arrogance when facing a little boss in Invincible Fort who wants to trouble them.
The leader smiled coldly and said: "I'm the little leader of the Invincible Fort. Of course I don't know such nobles as Zhou Daxia!"
Zhou Zizhen asked coldly: Do you still want to check?
The leader continued with a smile: Of course!Without waiting for the other party to open his mouth, he continued with a smirk: Zhou Daxia, please calm down the fury of thunder, although my status as a subordinate is not enough, but naturally there is enough
Another clear and bright voice snapped: Shut up!
The sound came to people, and in a blink of an eye, a young man in blue clothes appeared, pointed at Zhou Zizhen with a halberd and shouted in a low voice: Zhou Zizhen, don't be arrogant, the dogs from our Invincible Fort are all third-year high school students. level, not to mention a incense master
Zhou Zizhen asked with a faint smile, "Who are you?"
The leader replied first: "It's easy to teach Zhou Daxia to know that this is the first apprentice of our castle master, Jin Xianggong Jin Shiming."
Zhou Zizhen sneered and said: What a resounding name, but, I don't know if the kung fu under his hands can cooperate?
Jin Shiming sneered and said: I won't teach you to be disappointed.
Then, he shouted to the leader in a deep voice: "Master Jiang Xiang, there are more and more people behind us, we can't hinder the trip too much, now, start the inspection immediately, and if anyone dares to violate it, he will be killed!"
Zhou Zizhen smiled lightly and said: His tone is surprisingly loud, he really deserves to be a person from Invincible Fort.
金石鳴厲喝道：江香主，你還等什麼？
那位江香主身軀一顫道：是！屬下遵命
周子真冷笑接道：先從我檢查起來吧！
金石鳴沉聲說道：周大俠，無敵堡與武揚鏢局，一向和睦相處，今宵，本堡是為了要查緝一個重要人犯，才臨時在這兒設下檢查，我不希望周大俠上任伊始，立即引起雙方的衝突。
周子真唔了一聲道：這才有點像句人話。
金石鳴臉色一變道：閣下好像是存心找碴兒來的？
周子真笑了笑道：你說對了，這兒與武揚鏢局近在咫尺，咱們不容許有人在這兒撒野。
金石鳴臉都氣青了，半晌之後，才強抑心頭怒火，冷笑一聲道：話是你說的？
周子真傲然點首道：不錯！
金石鳴縱聲大笑道：武揚鏢局竟然用這種狂妄的匹夫來作總鏢頭，看來古大川是想自砸招牌了吧？
周子真冷然接道：不知道的事情，最好是少自作聰明！
金石鳴一怔道：我哪一點說錯了？
周子真道：武揚鏢局，不但總鏢頭換了老夫我，局主也已經挨了人，你卻還以為是古大川，豈不是孤陋寡聞，而又自作聰明！
金石鳴注目問道：目前，貴局的局主是誰？
周子真正容接道：辣手仙娘辛玉鳳。
金石鳴一怔道：這老婆子怎麼吃起鏢行飯來了？
周子真笑道：年輕人，別廢話了，我也不計較你方才對我的無禮，為免傷了兩家和氣，我勸你還是識相一點，自動撤走吧！
金石鳴哈哈大笑道：撤走？老虎不發威，被人家當做病貓了。
接著，又冷笑一聲道：周大鏢頭，你以為抬出辛老婆子的招牌來，就能嚇得倒人？
周子真哼了一聲道：老夫沒功夫同你廢話！
金石鳴沉聲說道：周大鏢頭，我再警告你一次，乖乖接受檢查，一切都好商量
周子真扭頭沉聲喝道：上馬，準備衝過去。
yes!
在他後面那十四位鏢師的同聲暴喏聲中，同時卻傳出金石鳴的怒喝道：江香主，先拿下這老匹夫！
obey!那位江香主話出招隨，單刀一順，奇幻而又快速地直取周子真的前胸，居然一起手就是無敵堡的鎮堡刀法伏魔刀法。
周子真朗笑一聲：好刀法！你小子心狠手辣，一出手就想要人家的命，老夫可饒你不得！
話聲中，兩人已飛快地交換了三招。周子真不愧是南七省中，叫得起字號的人物，雖然是以徒手對付江香主的單刀，卻是不但從容地沒當做一回事，而且還將那位江香主迫得向懸岩邊退去。
周子真揚聲笑道：來不及啦！
緊接著，怒叱一聲道：下去！
啪的一聲，一掌擊中那江香主的右肩，使得江香主的身軀，離地飛起，帶一聲慘號，向那數十丈下的湘江中飛墮下去。
這情形，使得金石鳴氣極之下，大喝一聲道：老賊！Take your life!
這位金石鳴使的卻是一支長劍，在他氣極之下，絕招連展中，居然使得周子真退了五尺。
這情形，自然使金石鳴心中暗喜，冷笑一聲道：匹夫，原來你也不過如此了。但他話一出口，卻又深悔自己這兩句話，說得太早了一點。
原來周子真於被迫退五尺之後，也立刻還以顏色，他那掌法，不但奇幻無比，而且也勢沉勁猛，接連三掌搶攻，又爭回了原來的位置，並冷笑著問道：小老弟，老夫這掌法的滋味如何？
肴隋形，周子真的身手，顯然還要高於金石鳴不止一二籌，但他於將對方迫回原位之後，卻並未續施壓力，只是使雙方維持平手，好像是不願過於讓對方難堪似的。
金石鳴不是傻瓜，對方手下留情，他自然心中有數，但他卻是答非所問地反問道：你在何處偷學本堡的掌法？
周子真哈哈大笑道：真是笑話，天下武學，萬流同源，你憑什麼斷定我偷學了你們的掌法？
不等對方開口，又沉聲接道：金石鳴，咱們這麼打下去的結果，你我都心中有數，依我之見，你還是接受我的勸告，就此撤退回去，末了事宜，由咱們雙方的上頭，自己去解決，不知尊意是如何呢？
金石鳴微一沉思道：閣下能否先答我一問？
周子真道：什麼事？
金石鳴道：呂正英是否在你這個行列中？
周子真接問道：你說的是呂維屏大俠的遺孤？
金石鳴點首接道：不錯。
周子真正容接道：那麼，我可以坦白告訴你，呂公子不是在我這個行列之中，而且，我也正在找他。
金石鳴虛晃一招，縱出戰圈，注目問道：你找他幹嗎？
周子真道：當然是為了維護他的安全。
金石鳴蹙眉問道：你為何要多管閒事？
周子真笑道：於公於私，我都必須要管，先說公的方面，我是奉局主之命
金石鳴截口問道：私字如何解釋？
周子真正容說道：私字方面，老夫與呂維屏大俠，雖然素昧平生，卻也是彼此心義已久的道義之交，如今，他的遺孤有了生命危險，我如果不知道，倒也罷了，既然知道了，就義不容辭地
金石鳴截口問道：如此說來，閣下是存心架樑而來？
周子真道：你要這麼說，我也不否認。
金石鳴冷然接道：你考慮到將與無敵堡為敵的後果嗎？
周子真正容說道：我不但已經考慮過了，而且還要寄語淳于堡主，湖南境內，屬於武揚鏢局的勢力範圍，絕對不容許任何人在這兒撒野。
金石鳴冷笑一聲道：好！話我給你帶到，咱們騎驢看唱本，且走著瞧吧！
接著，扭頭沉喝一聲道：咱們走！
像一陣風似的，那些兇神惡煞似的漢子們，剎那之間，就走了個乾乾淨淨。
這時，那些被阻的北上旅客，至少已有七八十人，這些人，本來都是準備趕到湘潭縣境的一個鎮甸上投宿的，因為，通過這一段險路之後，不過里多路程，就是一個頗為熱鬧的鎮甸。
當無敵堡的人撤走之後，這批已被耽擱了不少工夫，並且還飽受虛驚的旅客們，立即爭先恐後地繼續他們的行程。
那位武揚鏢局的總鏢師周子真，忽然揚聲問道：請問：呂正英呂公子，是否雜在旅客之中？
他的話，並沒什麼反應。
少頃之後，周子真又揚聲說道：咱們局主與路姑娘，有話轉告呂公子，如果呂公子雜在旅客群中，請現身答話。
他的話，還是沒得到任何反應，那些旅客們都已消失於沉沉夜色之中。
周子真沉思著向他的手下揮揮手道：我們也趕到前頭的小鎮上去。
呂正英去哪兒了呢？
事實上一點也不錯，他同那位青衣美婦，是分別以母子的姿態，雜在那批旅客之中。
一直到通過那一段險道之後，呂正英才以真氣傳音向青衣美婦道：前輩，方才，你為何不讓我同周總鏢師說話？
青衣美婦傳音長嘆道：孩子，你，太天真了。
呂正英一怔道：前輩此話怎講？
青衣美婦道：咱們這麼以真氣傳音交談，太不方便，且待會再說吧！
里多路程，自然不須多久，就已到達。這小鎮甸，名為劉家集鎮甸雖小，客棧卻有七八家，因為這八九十名旅客，倒是很輕易地容納下了。可是，呂正英與青衣美婦二人，卻並未投入客棧，在青衣美婦的前導下，兩人進入一條暗黑的小巷中。
小巷中雖然伸手難見五指，但此刻的呂正英，不論功力與視力，都算是超人一等，略一凝神之下的，他已看得出來，這小巷兩旁的房屋，都是較為高級的住宅。
當他們兩人在小巷中悄然行進時，除了招來兩旁住宅中的犬吠聲外，卻見不到一個人影。
青衣美婦在一幢朱漆大門的住宅前，停了下來，舉手在鐵環上輕叩了三下，少頃之後，裏面傳出一個蒼勁語聲道：誰呀？
青衣美婦低聲說道：老王，是我。
那蒼勁語聲道：你？ah!你是銀姑？
語氣中有著太多的驚喜。
青衣美婦連忙低聲說道：老王，小聲一點，快開門。
Yes Yes
呀然一聲，朱漆大門打開了，一位鬚髮如銀的灰衣老人，右手持著一根旱煙桿，左手舉著一個燈籠，那一張皺紋堆疊的臉上，滿是笑容地低聲說道：銀姑快進來！
青衣美婦與呂正英二人，悄然進入門內，青衣美婦並順手將大門關好並上了閂，灰衣老人卻咦了一聲道：銀姑怎麼這等裝束，這位小哥兒又是誰？
青衣美婦低聲道：到裏面，我再告訴你。
灰衣老人發出一聲深長的嘆息，沒接腔。這住宅是一幢縱深兩進的樓房，雖然年代已經很久了，但一切卻還完整無損，陳設相當豪華，也收拾得一塵不染，可是，除了目前這三位之外，卻是寂無人聲。
呂正英邊走邊心頭暗忖著道：難道這偌大一幢住宅，就只有這麼一位老蒼頭不成
當他們穿過第二進前面的天井時，灰衣老人忍不住問道：銀姑還是住你原來的房間？
青衣美婦搖搖頭道：不！暫時住在地下室。
這時，呂正英已大致明白，這兒十之八九是這位青衣美婦的娘家。
灰衣老人顯然被青衣美婦的話嚇了一大跳，他睜著一雙昏花老眼，訝然問道：為什麼？ah!我明白了，看你這打扮，這神情，準定是出了什麼紕漏？
青衣美婦苦笑了一下道：老王別瞎猜，快點帶路。
灰衣老人也苦笑道：銀姑，這幢房子，每一個房間，我都天天打掃，也都還保持原來的老樣子的，偏偏只有地下室，我沒掃過，多年不曾打掃了，怎麼能進去！
青衣美婦一蹙眉道：那麼，我們在這兒的小花廳坐一會，你快去打掃一下，然後，給我們弄點吃的。
灰衣老人連連點首道：好的，老奴馬上就辦。
接著，又在前頭帶路道：跟我來。
他，邊走邊說道：銀姑，你一年中難得回來一次，老奴也是行將人土的人了，萬一有個三長兩短，這幢房子，是否也該早點作個安排
青衣美女截口笑道：這房子已有了新主人啦！
灰衣老人推開小花廳的門，一面訝然問道：是誰啊？
青衣美婦抬手一指呂正英道：就是這位公子。
這句話，不但使灰衣老人一怔，連呂正英也為之愣住了。
青衣美婦卻拉著呂正英進入小花廳中，笑了笑道：先坐下來，有話慢慢說，橫直今宵咱們盡可作通宵之談。
灰衣老人目注呂正英，仔細地端詳了一陣之後，才哦了一聲道：呂正英？一定是玉姑娘的少爺。
青衣美婦點首接道：對了，老王，你先去辦事，有話我們待會再談，記著，萬一有什麼人前來查詢時，千萬別說我已回來。
灰衣老人似懂非懂地點點頭道：老奴知道了。
灰衣老人點燃了案頭燈火，才轉身離去。
青衣美婦關好窗門，並將窗簾放下，以免燈光外洩，然後坐回原位，輕輕地嘆了一聲。
她美目蕩漾著一片淒迷，向四周緩慢地掃視一遍之後，凝注呂正英淒然一笑道：孩子，我想，現在你應該有所聯想了？
呂正英點點頭道：是的，如果我的聯想不錯，這兒該是你的娘家？
青衣美婦唔了一聲道：不錯。她答得似乎很隨便，但一雙美目中，卻已孕育著晶瑩的淚珠了。
呂正英接問道：前輩同先慈，好像有點親戚關係？
青衣美婦苦笑道：豈僅是有點親戚關係，事實上，我同你母親還是同母異父的姐妹哩！
呂正英一怔道：這就奇了？
青衣美婦訝然問道：此話怎講？
呂正英道：我是說，先慈生前，為何不曾向我提過呢？
青衣美婦長嘆一聲道：這事情說起來可就話長啦。
呂正英輕輕一嘆，沒接腔。
青衣美婦目注那案頭搖曳著的燈光，淒涼地一笑道：現在，先介紹我自己，我姓水，叫銀姑，你已知道了，這小鎮甸名為劉家集，顧名思義，這兒的居民，十之八九都是姓劉，約莫是四十來年之前，我們這水家，是這劉家集中，少數外姓人士中的旺族。
呂正英忍不住問道：可是，怎麼現在卻只剩下一位老管家了呢？
水銀姑苦笑道：這也許是所謂盛極必衰的道理吧！想當年，只要提起湘潭水家，不但在本省境內，婦孺皆知，在南七省的武林同道中，也有很崇高的地位。
呂正英忍不住啊了一聲，卻是欲言又止。
水銀姑幽幽地一嘆道：孩子，也許你還沒聽說過，現在剛由辣手仙娘辛玉鳳接掌的武揚鏢局，就是我水家的基業。
呂正英注目問道：以後，又怎會盛極而衰的呢？
水銀姑苦笑道：詳情我也沒有完全弄清楚，一直到不久之前，你呂家全部遇難之後，我才由淳于坤口中，聽到全部經過情形。
她一頓話鋒，才沉思著接道：當我父親去世時，我還不足兩歲，所以，有關過去的一切，都是由老王口中聽來的。
呂正英接問道：就是方才那位老管家？
Yes.水銀姑點首接道：據老王說，我家人口，本來就很簡單，我父親雖有三位夫人，但卻只有我這麼一個獨生女兒，我母親，也就是你的外祖母，是最小的一位夫人，當我父親去世時，她老人家才不過二十出頭。
呂正英道：照時間推算，我外祖母應該還健在？
水銀姑道：可是，事實上，她老人家在生下你母親之後，就去世了，同我父親一樣，也是癆病呀。
癆病？呂正英問道：一位武林高手，怎會患上癆病的？
水銀姑苦笑道：是的，當時也有人這麼懷疑，但卻沒人深究，而事實上，我父親和三位夫人，都是先後以癆病去世的，有人說，這種病會傳染，所以，這麼一來，就算是有了合理的解釋了。
呂正英正容說道：我應該稱您為阿姨才對，據您這麼說，他們的癆病，顯然是中了別人的陰謀？
水銀姑點點頭道：是的，但這些且待會再說，現在，先說當年的。
呂正英點點頭，接問道：當時，我外祖母又怎會改嫁的呢？
水銀姑道：那是出於我父親遺命，因為，當時她老人家實在太年輕人，同時，改嫁的對象你那位外祖父，本來與她老人家，為青梅竹馬之交，是我父親硬行將他們拆散的，於是我父親去世之後，他們就很自然地結合了。
呂正英苦笑了一下，沒接腔。
水銀姑輕嘆一聲道：可是，當你母親出生不久，這一對重行結合的夫婦，也相繼去世
呂正英蹙眉問道：也是癆病？
水銀姑道：你外祖母是死於癆病，但你外祖父卻是死於鏢局中的一次意外事件中，因為，他也是鏢局中的一位鏢師。
她微頓話鋒才長嘆一聲道：由於你外祖父是一位異鄉人，他們夫婦相繼去世之後，你母親也就重行回到了水家，由水家僱用乳娘同我一同撫養，一直到七八歲之後，才由他們柴家派人來領回去，這也就是說，為什麼方才老王能一口道破你是玉姑娘的少爺的原因了，因為你現在的面孔，有七成像你母親的幼年。
呂正英蹙眉問道：為什麼我母親
