Chapter 13 Chapter Thirteen

As he instinctively rushed out of the cave, he kept thinking in his heart: Why did he send the green eagle to pick me up after only two months? Could it be that some major accident happened? Before he finished reading, Zhu Yanan's excited voice came from the entrance of the cave: Zhengying, Zhengying, I'm coming to see you! Before the words were finished, the person came to him, like a breast swallow that threw itself into its arms, it burrowed into Lu Zhengying's strong chest, raised its slightly childish pretty face, and said with a coquettish smile: Ah!I haven't seen you for two months. You look even more handsome. I'm so jealous.

Lu Zhengying lightly embraced her slender waist with one hand, stroked her hair with the other, and asked with a smile: "What are you jealous of?" Zhu Yanan twisted her delicate body and said: I am jealous that you are more beautiful than a girl Lu Zhengying couldn't help but burst out laughing and said: You!It's getting more and more nonsense. Zhu Yanan clung to Lu Zhengying like a twisted candy, but on the one hand he raised his face and said coquettishly: No!I want you to share some with me. Lu Zhengying was startled and said: I'll give you a little bit, what do you want to share?

Zhu Yanan smiled coquettishly: I want to share some of your beauty Lu Zhengying couldn't help but kissed her pretty face, and then said with a smile: "There's nothing you can do. Besides, you are already beautiful enough. If you want to be even more beautiful, that would be incredible!" Zhu Yanan asked with a smile: How could it be so serious? Lu Zhengying said solemnly: In that case, all the men in the world will be fascinated by you Before he finished speaking, Zhu Yanan said coquettishly: You are bad, you are bad, I will not come This pair of young lovers had known each other not for a short time, and they had many chances to be alone together, but it was the first time they were hugging and laughing at each other like this.

They acted so affectionately, and also acted so naturally, completely like childhood sweethearts. Although both of them had a sweet, unexamined feeling in their hearts, neither of them had any evil thoughts. Lu Zhengying rubbed her, and she continued with a smile: Yanan, I can't give you what you want, but I have something better, which I can share. Zhu Yanan interrupted: No!No!I don't want anything else. With that said, both palms were also pulled out from Zhengying's hands. Lu Zhengying smiled and said: Really don't want it? Zhu Yanan repeatedly nodded and said: Of course!certainly!

Lu Zhengying smiled mysteriously: No, you will regret it. Zhu Yanan said resolutely: Never regret Lu Zhengying smiled and said: You don't know me, what exactly do you want to share with you, so you just say so decisively? Zhu Yanan was stunned and said, "By the way, what I just said doesn't count for the time being. Tell me, what are you going to give me?" Lu Zhengying laughed loudly and said: "How can this be done? Once a man has said a word, it is hard to follow. How can you go back on what you have said!" Because, Zhu Yanan continued with a smile: I am not a man, but a little girl!

This charming demeanor made Lu Zhengying couldn't help but hugged her into his arms, kissed her and said, "I'll talk about this issue later. Now, tell me why you came early?" Zhu Yanan cast him a charming look: "Is it not possible?" Lu Zhengying smiled and said: "Why not, it's too late for me to welcome you!" Zhu Yanan rolled his eyes at him again and said: I just explained in the first sentence, this trip is to see you, not to pick you up Lu Zhengying hastily continued: How dare you come to see me on a special trip. Zhu Yanan twisted her delicate body and said: Don't interrupt, okay, I haven't finished talking yet!

Lu Zhengying smiled wryly: Good!I am listening. Only then did Zhu Yanan smile and said: But strictly speaking, he is here to pick you up. Lu Zhengying smiled wryly and said: What you said confuses me! Zhu Yanan pointed to his forehead and said: "Idiot, what's so difficult to understand, please listen carefully." Lu Zhengying salivated and said: Yes, yes, my subordinates are listening! Zhu Yanan put on a pretty face and said, "Stop being glib, let's be serious now, this time, I'm here with my elder sister Lu Zhengying couldn't help but said in a daze: Oh, so, where is Missy?

Zhu Yanan said: "Eldest sister didn't come down at all. When I floated down from the blue eagle, she flew away immediately. Lu Zhengying said with an oh: So that's what happened. Zhu Yanan continued: Eldest sister has another mission, so she brought me here by the way. What my mother meant was because the date of the New Year's Day meeting was getting closer and closer, and I was afraid that the green eagle would not be sent to pick you up by then, so I came here Tell us to come to see you in advance, if we can open the customs earlier, we ask us to rush back by land. Lu Zhengying fully agreed: "Okay, okay, after ten days at most, I can open the gate."

Zhu Yanan smiled and said, "That's great. Tomorrow, when the eldest sister comes back, I want her to bring a message back first." Then, he stretched out his slender palm and said with a smile: "Bring it." Lu Zhengying was startled and said: What are you taking? Zhu Yanan said: You promised to share with me. Lu Zhengying snorted and said: Let's not talk about this for now, just take my three tricks and try. Zhu Yanan smiled and said: If you can't bear to give it to me, then forget it! Then, he was stunned and said: "Why, I haven't tested your entry, but you challenged me instead?"

Lu Zhengying smiled mysteriously and said: Are you afraid to accept my challenge? joke?Zhu Yanan raised his eyebrows and said: You!It probably became what my mother said that once you have four taels of paint, you want to open a dyeing workshop. Lu Zhengying said with a smile: "Yanan, don't look at people through the crack of the door, look down on me, and take three tricks from me first, and then it won't be too late to ridicule me!" Zhu Yanan's beautiful eyes continued with deep attention: Good!Bright sword! No!Lu Zhengying continued: Let's refer to the sword.

Zhu Yanan was slightly startled and said: Good!Get in! Lu Zhengying laughed loudly: "Your subordinate is arrogant!" In the voice, referring to the sword, it flew out, and the fingertips pierced Jingda acupoint on the opponent's left shoulder. Zhu Yanan smiled coquettishly, well done! Slumping his shoulders and sinking his wrists, he avoided the opponent's attack. At the same time, his own spring onion-like fingers slanted across Lu Zhengying's chest. But Lu Zhengying had already fled back, and said with a smile: "Thank you for the concession!" Zhu Yanan was startled and said: Who ever let you go! Lu Zhengying stretched out her right palm and said: Look! In his palm, there was a gold earring. As soon as Zhu Yanan's eyes met, he quickly raised his hand to touch his left ear, and his pretty face couldn't help but change. It turned out that the earring in Lu Zhengying's hand was on her left ear. Zhu Yanan remembered very clearly that Lu Zhengying's sword just now attacked Jingda acupoint on her left shoulder, and she also remembered very clearly that he had already dodged it. But at this moment, the earring that was originally placed on his left earlobe is impressively in the opponent's palm. If he is fighting an enemy, how can the consequences be imagined! This situation could not help but make her gasp, and remained silent for a while. Lu Zhengying personally put the earring back on for her, and said with an apologetic smile: "It was an accident, and you treated me as the former Wuxia Amon, which is why this happened. Therefore, this trick doesn't count. Let's do it again." came No!Zhu Yanan shook his head and smiled wryly, "I know myself. With the miraculous way you snatched my earring just now, even if my mother did it herself, it might not be so clean. Lu Zhengying was very grateful, but he smiled modestly and said: Yanan, what you said is too flattering to me! Zhu Yanan said with a pretty face: I'm telling the truth, and you know that only my mother's martial arts are higher than mine, and I only admire my mother alone, but now, I Lu Zhengying laughed and said: Let's not talk about these for now, let's talk about what I want to give you first! Zhu Yanan asked with a smile, what do you mean, to share the magic sword technique you know with me? Lu Zhengying nodded and said: Exactly. Zhu Yanan smiled and said: This is indeed a great temptation for a martial arts practitioner.However, I need to know the details first, because After a pause, he continued with a serious face: The move you just used is clearly not from our own martial arts. Lu Zhengying laughed and said: "Second Miss's eyes are like lightning, the move just now is really not my martial art. Zhu Yanan paid attention and asked: Where did that come from? Lu Zhengying smiled mysteriously: It was passed down by a senior ghost. Zhu Yanan was startled and said, "Is there a person with the surname ghost in this world?" Not a ghost.Lu Zhengying smiled and said: That senior claimed to be a ghost Zhu Yanan cut off his mouth and said with a coquettish smile: The more you talk, the more mysterious it becomes! Then, his face darkened and he said: If you don't tell the truth, I will ignore you. Lu Zhengying smiled wryly: We can't just stand here forever, let's go!Go back inside and tell you slowly. Zhu Yanan nodded, and then walked towards Lidong together. After returning to Lidong, it took Lu Zhengying more than half an hour to briefly recount his relationship with that ghost senior. At the end, he said regretfully: "Yanan, if you had come a little earlier, you could still meet his old man!" Zhu Yanan smiled and said, "Would the old man be willing to see me?" Lu Zhengying said: Yes.However, if the eldest lady came, the old man might not see her. Zhu Yanan was slightly taken aback and said: How do you say that? Because, Lu Zhengying smiled embarrassingly: "The old man doesn't dare to learn from the young lady's temper." Zhu Yanan asked with a smile: My eldest sister has a bad temper, did you tell him? Lu Zhengying said: No, his old man is very clear about the affairs of the Jianghu, especially the affairs of his own sect. Zhu Yanan grunted and said: When I have a chance to see him, I will ask him well. Lu Zhengying smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid of ghosts?" Zhu Yanan said with a straight face: "Such spirit ghosts and kind ghosts are not easy to find among the living. Why should I be afraid of him!" Before her words fell, the senior ghost's voice came out from the shadows: Good!Courage to talk is enough to make a man ashamed, my old man finally made a worthwhile trip. Lu Zhengying couldn't help cheering, "Senior Ghost, you're back again?" The shadow said in a voice: I had already left, but I came back because I saw Zhu Yanan rushing over. Zhu Yanan couldn't help but interjected and asked: Is it because of me that the old man made the trip again? The shadow said displeasedly: Could it be that my old man is still lying to you! Zhu Yanan asked with a smile: What is that for? The shadow said in a voice: "Because, these seven days have too much to do with Lu Zhengying. I don't want him to interfere with his entry because he wants to distract you from teaching your martial arts, so I decided to do it." Zhu Yanan continued with a smile: "Just turned around again, and are you going to teach me martial arts in person?" The voice in the shadow laughed and said: You ghost spirit! Zhu Yanan was so happy that he almost rushed forward and said, "Senior Ghost, you are so kind. Then, he giggled and said with a coquettish smile: "Ghost elves have become a family when they meet senior ghost!" The voice in the shadow said: "Ghost girl, don't get carried away, my old man has a few words, you must abide by them." Zhu Yanan continued with a serious face: "The younger generation must abide by it, please tell the old man!" The voice in the shadow said: The matter is very simple. First, from now on, you must do everything possible to exert influence on Lingtang to correct her extreme personality. Zhu Yanan nodded repeatedly and said: Yes, this junior should go all out. Second, the shadow continued in a deep voice: Regarding the martial arts that my old man passed on to you two, you are not allowed to disclose to anyone for the time being, even Lingtang is no exception. Zhu Yanan nodded again and said, "Okay, this junior has made a note of it." The voice in the shadows continued: Seven days is too short, I can only choose what to teach, and the rest will be taught by Lu Wa'er in the future. Zhu Yanan hurriedly continued: "Can't the old man stay for a few more days?" The voice in the shadow said: These seven days have already been delayed because of you, and there will be no more delay. Zhu Yanan turned his beautiful eyes and said: Can the old man show his dharma body so that I can pay my respects? The bright shadow said with a smile: a ghost shadow, what's so interesting. Zhu Yanan acted coquettishly: I want it! The shadow said: "During these seven days, I will always make your wish come true. Now, it's time for Lu Wa'er to work hard. Get ready, little girl, and teach you the sword skills immediately." Unexpectedly, Zhu Yanan rushed towards the place where the sound came from, and said, "Senior Gui, it's very kind of you!" But when she pounced, she missed nothing, and what she got in return was a series of haha ​​and wild laughter from the senior ghost: "Ghost girl, you are still too far away!" The next day, Zhu Shengnan came.Of course, Zhu Yanan and Lu Zhengying did not tell her the real situation, they only said that the customs could be opened in ten days or so, and they decided to go to Xiakou by land. So, Zhu Shengnan came in a hurry, and left in a hurry. Before leaving, he only gave special instructions: to arrive at Xiakou before New Year's Day next year. At the same time, she also took away a large bag of thousand-year-old stone fungi.The thousand-year-old stone fungus that is a specialty in Tianxin Valley, so far, is very little left. Seven days passed with a snap of the fingers. In a blink of an eye, it was the morning of the tenth day of December. When Lu Zhengying and Zhu Yanan finished their morning class, the mysterious senior ghost showed his dharma body again, summoned the two of them to him and said in a deep voice: "Okay, so far, both of you are qualified to be beaten." up Zhu Yanan couldn't help but coquettishly smiled and said: "Old man, like us, are you only qualified to be beaten?" The strange shadow laughed loudly and said: "Ghost girl, do you think that the qualification to be beaten is so easy to get confused?" Lu Zhengying asked solemnly: The old man drove us to set off? The strange shadow said: Yes, from here to Xiakou, the distance is long, there may be unexpected delays on the way, it is always good for the young couple to go on the road early, right? Hearing the young couple's mouth, Lu Zhengying and Zhu Yanan actually had a red cloud on their faces at the same time. The strange shadow said with a smile: You two, you are a young couple, why are you embarrassed? Seven days ago, when you met again, you hugged so tightly and were so affectionate Zhu Yanan stomped his little boots and said: "The old man is not ashamed to peek at others." The strange shadow also laughed and said: My old man is a ghost, why should he be shy. Then, he laughed again and said: Don't worry, ghost girl, although my old man has become a ghost, he has not forgotten the principle of seeing no evil, so when I saw the intimacy between you two, I immediately panicked flustered to avoid Zhu Yanan smiled coquettishly: "God knows, we can't see you, so we have to let you brag about yourself!" good!good!The strange shadow smiled wryly and said: You girl is powerful enough, my old man can't afford to offend you, I can always escape After finishing speaking, the dark wind flashed, and the strange shadow disappeared. Zhu Yanan quickly raised his voice and called out: "Senior ghost, senior ghost!" However, apart from the echo of the cave, no other sound could be heard. Lu Zhengying smiled wryly and said: Stop barking, this time, the old man really left! Zhu Yanan frowned and continued: Strange?Are there really ghosts in the world? Lu Zhengying asked with a smile: Yanan, do you already believe that the old man is a ghost? Zhu Yanan said, "Is there any other explanation for this situation?" Lu Zhengying smiled bitterly and said: I have never believed in ghosts, but I couldn't explain what happened to me. Zhu Yanan said: "I've also heard that in the west of this province, there is an industry of exorcising corpses, and the mages in the exorcism are quite evil." Lu Zhengying said with an oh: By the way, mentioning expelling corpses reminded me of the past nearly a year ago. Zhu Yanan also said, "Yes!"Didn't you escape from Ximen Rui's poisonous hands by being in the ranks of the corpses? As soon as Lu Zhengying recalled the past, he couldn't help but make him grit his teeth and say: Yes. Zhu Yanan said: "Since you experienced it yourself, it is enough to prove that the legend about expelling corpses is true." Well From this, it can also be proved that there are ghosts and gods in the world. Well Lu Zhengying smiled wryly and said: What you said confuses me. Zhu Yanan smiled and said: The most sufficient support for my theory of ghosts is the ghost aura that comes with senior ghosts. Haunted?Lu Zhengying was startled and said, "Why haven't I smelled it?" Zhu Yanan asked with a smile: Fool, don't you feel the eerie, cold feeling when senior ghost is by our side? Lu Zhengying was stunned for a moment and said: Of course I feel this. Fool, that's ghost spirit! Lu Zhengying took her into his arms and smiled triumphantly: "Now I can't smell the ghost, which proves that Senior Ghost is really gone. Let us have a good kiss." Due to the boldness of Yigao people and the abundant time, Lu Zhengying, who went back to the pass and descended the mountain after training, had a very pleasant journey this time. He and Zhu Yanan, both of them in their true colors, walked according to the station with the posture of traveling in the mountains and rivers. Along the way, the shadows of the whips and the shadows of the couple attracted many envious and jealous eyes. Due to the slow schedule, it took four days to arrive at Baoqing Mansion, an important town upstream of Zishui. As Baoqing Mansion is an important town in the upper reaches of the Zijiang River, the water and land transportation is convenient, so there are many merchants, and the market is quite prosperous. When Lu Zhengying and Zhu Yanan arrived outside the city of Baoqing Mansion, it was already dusk when the sun was setting on the mountain. Lu Zhengying raised his whip and pointed at the towering city tower, and said with a hearty smile: "Baoqing is here, this is a big pier, Yanan, do we want to spend another day here?" Zhu Yanan smiled coquettishly and said: I am the only one who follows the lead. Lu Zhengying salivated and said with a smile: Is this considered to marry a chicken and follow a chicken? Zhu Yanan spat at him and said: Fuck you, who will marry you! Lu Zhengying laughed and said: If you don't marry me, I'll dive into the water! Zhu Yanan rolled his eyes at him and said: Don't be glib, let me ask you a serious question. Lu Zhengying answered solemnly: "My subordinates are listening respectfully." Seeing his serious state, Zhu Yanan couldn't help but let out a coquettish laugh and said: Look at your virtue! Then, she also said with a full expression: Are we going to go north along the Zishui River to Xinhua, or go east to Hengzhou, and then go north along the water? Lu Zhengying continued casually: I advocate the Xinhuaization of the Northern Jingjing, do you agree? Zhu Yanan smiled and said: You can say yes, how can I disagree? After entering the city, after inquiring, they found out that the most luxurious inn in Baoqing Mansion was the Xiaoxiang Guesthouse located on Fuqian Street, so the young couple rode their horses to Xiaoxiang Guesthouse.Located far away from the street in front of the arrow, the building is magnificent and magnificent. Just the row of rather exquisite horse-holding posts outside the gate is enough for ordinary poor boys to be intimidated and dare not care about it. When the two riders, Lu Zhengying and Zhu Yanan, arrived in front of the gate of the Xiaoxiang Guest House, the two waiters who were in charge of reception at the gate of the inn had already greeted them with smiles on their faces. One, and said with a flattering smile: You have worked hard, young master and young lady. Lu Zhengying and Zhu Yanan both floated off their horses, and Lu Zhengying looked at him and asked: Dude, is there still a room? The waiter in the shop kept saying respectfully, "Yes, yes." Zhu Yanan hastily continued: No!To a single house. Another shop waiter tied up the horse and hurriedly unpacked his luggage. After hearing this, he said first: "There is also a single courtyard, and it is the best single courtyard." Zhu Yanan nodded and said: Then, hurry up and lead the way. The waiter in the store responded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, young master, miss, please come with the little one." The detached courtyard in this inn is really good, because it is located in a corner of the back garden, not only the environment is quiet, with the prosperity of the garden, but also the interior decoration is luxurious without being tacky, and the hospitality is friendly, making people feel at home feel. The waiter in the shop was busy arranging tea, and asked with a smile: Young master, miss, is this private courtyard still suitable? Lu Zhengying grunted and said: Very good!very good! The waiter in the shop continued with a smile: I will prepare face washing water for the two of you immediately. As he spoke, he hurried out, but before he walked out, he turned back and asked with a smile: "What do you two want to eat, please tell them first, so that they can prepare it." Lu Zhengying waved his hand and said, "Choose the best food and drink from your place, and just bring it up." The waiter in the shop continued to say respectfully: "I know." This single courtyard has two bedrooms and one living room. The current Lu Zhengying and Zhu Yanan just happen to have a living room for each person. After the waiter left, Lu Zhengying smiled and asked Yanan, which one do you want? Zhu Yanan smiled and said: I will live in this room, you live next door, if a thief comes, I will take care of you first. Lu Zhengying continued with a smile: The thief really has eyes since he found this place! Zhu Yanan smiled and said: That's not necessarily the case, you, the soul chasing messenger, don't have any engraved words on your forehead. Lu Zhengying laughed and said: "Yanan, you may not believe it, although I, the soul chaser, do not have engravings on my forehead, but in fact, someone has already recognized it." Zhu Yanan was startled and said, "How do you say that?" Lu Zhengying smiled and said: If my observation is correct, someone will definitely come to say hello tonight. Zhu Yanan frowned and continued, "Why didn't I notice it at all?" Lu Zhengying said: This is because I have been in the world for a few days longer than you Zhu Yanan rolled his eyes at him and said: Fuck you!You have much more experience in the world than me! Lu Zhengying smiled and said: But in fact, I have noticed that someone is following you, but you don't know it. Zhu Yanan snorted and said: Good!Let's wait for tonight's proof. After washing and dinner, the lights of thousands of houses are already on. Lu Zhengying asked Zhu Yanan with a smile: This Baoqing Mansion is a famous water and land wharf in Hunan. Do you want to go to the night market? Zhu Yanan smiled sweetly and said: Since you are so elegant, I should accompany you. So, Lu Zhengying called the waiter over and said, "Man, where is the most lively night market in Baoqing Mansion?" The waiter bowed his waist and said with a flattering smile: If you want to visit the night market, you'd better go to the square in front of the Town God's Temple Lu Zhengying casually handed it to the waiter in the shop and said, "Thank you!" The night market at Chenghuang Temple in Baoqing City is equivalent to Beijing's Tianqiao and Kaifeng's Daxiangguo Temple, but it is only on a smaller scale. When Lu Zhengying and Zhu Yanan arrived at the square in front of the Town God's Temple, since it was still early, the night market had just started, and all kinds of jugglers were starting to attract customers. A place like this is originally a place for ordinary people to relax and unwind after a hard day. And like the current Lu Zhengying and Zhu Yanan, the male is radiant and the female is graceful and graceful. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are relegated to the world like a golden boy and a jade girl, because they have become the objects of ordinary tourists. These two, no matter where they go, are followed by a large group of audience who point and comment, and at the same time, make sounds of admiration. Lu Zhengying didn't take this situation seriously, but Zhu Yanan was a little impatient. When she couldn't bear it anymore, she turned her head to Lu Zhengying and said, "Brother Zhengying, let's go back!" Lu Zhengying asked in surprise: Go back?Why? Zhu Yanan frowned and continued: You didn't see, how annoying those people are! Lu Zhengying smiled and said, "Let's just ignore those people, it's just fine." Then, he said in a low voice: The night market has just started, and the good things are still to come! Zhu Yanan was slightly startled, and asked in a low voice: Have you discovered something? Lu Zhengying smiled mysteriously and said: You don't notice it just because you hate seeing those people. In fact, it doesn't matter if you let them see. Eyes are born to see people! No!Zhu Yanan continued: Eyes are not designed to see people, they are used to see everything in the world. Behind them, came a loud laugh and said: This girl is right, eyes are not made for looking at people, but such handsome people like these two are exceptions. Lu Zhengying and Zhu Yanan didn't look back, nor were they surprised by the sudden interruption. Zhu Yanan snorted angrily and said: Who are you? The clear voice behind laughed and said: I am me Zhu Yanan turned around abruptly, and flew towards the sound. Turning around and swooping should be two different actions. But when Zhu Yanan and other masters came out, it was as if they were done in one go, and they were as fast as lightning, and they caught the person who hadn't finished speaking all at once, so panicked that Lu Zhengying quickly shouted: "Yanan, don't be reckless!" The one caught by Zhu Yanan was a young man in a blue shirt in his early twenties, with a rather handsome face. Even though Zhu Yanan's veins on both wrists were pinched by Zhu Yanan, as if he was bound by two iron bands, and his heart was in pain, he gritted his teeth tightly and didn't say a word. Zhu Yanan frowned, let go of the other's hands, turned his head and asked: Do you know him? Lu Zhengying smiled and said: I don't know him, but I conclude that he is just a tentacle for the other party to test our strength. A vigorous voice laughed and said: The young man has such sharp eyes! Following the words, an old man in gray clothes who was bloated, with a scarf around his neck, and a felt hat pushed down very low, with almost only a pair of eyesight left, walked over slowly. Lu Zhengying asked with attention: Who is your Excellency? The gray-clothed old man smiled and said: Ouyang Tai, the old man in Huangshan. Lu Zhengying smiled lightly and said: Oh!It turned out to be the Supreme Leader of the Huangshan School, what a pleasure to meet, what a pleasure to meet! Ouyang Tai snorted and said: You kid, don't do this in front of my old man. Then, he smiled at the young man in the blue shirt: Now, you should know how high the sky is and how thick the ground is? Lu Zhengying asked with a smile: This one is also your high disciple? Ouyang Tai snorted again and said, "Your boy, don't be old and young. Since Tian Bin is a minister of the same palace as you, at least you should call me Senior Ouyang." Lu Zhengying smiled and said: Senior is a respectable elder, but your Excellency is not worthy of my respect. Ouyang Tai asked with a broken smile: What is not worthy of your respect, old man? Lu Zhengying said: "Your Excellency, hiding your head and showing your tail, and sending people to follow you along the way, is it considered as an action that an elder should do?" Ouyang Tai laughed and said: You kid is really smart. It's not my old man who sent people to follow you two along the way! Lu Zhengying asked in surprise: Who is that? Ouyang Tai said: "It's from the Wuyang Escort Bureau." Lu Zhengying was startled and said: Impossible! Ouyang Tai said: Mrs. Xin is waiting for you, if you don't believe me, you can ask her yourself. Lu Zhengying paid attention and asked, "Where is Senior Xin?" Ouyang Tai smiled and said: It's on the beach beside the Zijiang River. Then, he suddenly smiled and said: For the person who really sent someone to follow you, but you respect her as a senior, is it because she has a beautiful female apprentice? Lu Zhengying grunted and said: Don't talk about him, you should answer my question. Ouyang Tai asked him back with a smile: What are you asking? Lu Zhengying waved and pointed at the young man in blue shirt and said, "Is this your apprentice?" Ouyang Tai nodded and said: That's right, this is the youngest apprentice of the old man, who leads an art investment teacher. Lu Zhengying then asked: How many students are there in Your Excellency? eight.Ouyang Tai continued with a smile: Normally, I jokingly call them the eight handsome men of Huangshan Mountain, but compared with you, they are not so handsome. Lu Zhengying pursed her lips and said: Your Excellency, master and apprentice are waiting here, of course it is not accidental? Ouyang nodded and said: Yes, we know that you are about to open the customs, and we also judge that you will definitely go this way, so we made a special trip to wait here. Lu Zhengying asked with a smile: Are you going to catch the wind for me? good.Ouyang Tai smiled mysteriously and said: But the reception banquet is scheduled for tomorrow. Lu Zhengying smiled and said: Tonight, you want to stretch me for a while? Ouyang Tai said: You can also say that. After a pause, he continued with a serious face: I have too many readers!Talent and endowment like yours are truly rare! Lu Zhengying interrupted: These can be saved. Ouyang Tai snorted and said: The old man is telling the truth, but he didn't intend to flatter you. Lu Zhengying grunted and said: I am listening respectfully. Ouyang Tai said solemnly: "Based on your conditions, although Zhu Siniang would not train you well in the past, after these three months of retreat and study, you must have made great achievements." Lu Zhengying interrupted and asked: Tian Bin told you all this? Ouyang Tai smiled and said: Tian Bin is just one of the old man's sources of information, do you understand, boy? Lu Zhengying continued indifferently: Good!go on. Ouyang Tai continued with a smile: "Zhu Yanan is the number one expert below the Commander of the Seven Killing Orders. Now, with you, a marvelous martial arts wonder, isn't it worthy of the old man and Mrs. Xin to come and wait hand in hand!" Lu Zhengying sneered and said: Have you formed a united front? Ouyang Tai smiled and said: That's not true, it's just a coincidence in this matter. Zhu Yanan, who had been listening quietly, suddenly sneered and said: Is there such a coincidence in the world? Ouyang Tai smiled mysteriously and said: This is probably the so-called hero who sees the same thing! Zhu Yanan snorted and said: Don't be smug, I see you!It's just a pair of big bears. However, Lu Zhengying paid attention and asked: Your Excellency, how do you explain your similar words about heroes. Ouyang Tai said: That is to say, both the old man and Mrs. Xin agree that you and this little girl are our rivals. If Zhu Siniang loses you, it means losing his left and right hands. Lu Zhengying sneered and said: That's why you organized a temporary united front to get rid of us Ouyang Tai shook his head and continued: You kid, don't take it out of context. Maybe our current situation is a bit like a temporary united front, but we don't intend to kill you guys. Zhu Yanan interrupted and said: Even if you have such intentions, you have never thought of it, do you have such power? But Ouyang Tai didn't feel disobedient at all and continued with a smile: at least I, Ouyang Tai, didn't have the intention not to kill you. Lu Zhengying asked with a smile: If you don't kill us, how can you get rid of us? Ouyang Tai smiled mysteriously and said: This old man has his own reasons. Then, he asked with concern: "Do you two dare to go to the riverside?" Lu Zhengying raised his sword eyebrows and said: Your Excellency, don't say that there are only you and the hot fairy Xin Yufeng, even if you add an old thief Chunyu from Invincible Castle, I don't take him seriously. Ouyang Tai raised his thumb and said: Ugh!This is indeed a young hero! Lu Zhengying snorted and said: Then stop talking and lead the way! With a whoosh, a sharp arrow shot towards the back of Lu Zhengying's head with a piercing roar. The person who stabbed in the back was a pockmarked man standing about four feet away. The accident happened and the distance was so close. This situation made Ouyang Tai's expression change, and Zhu Yanan even blurted out: Lu Brother beware! When the onlookers were so shocked that their hearts were about to jump out of their mouths, Lu Zhengying calmly, when the dark arrow was about to hit the back of his head, turned around with a sneer, and bit the dark arrow. Immediately afterwards, he shook his head and flicked the long arrow he was biting, to shoot back with more force than when he shot it, nailing the pock-marked man to the ground, and sneered at Ouyang Tai: Hello aboveboard means! Ouyang Tai hastily continued: That's not mine. Lu Zhengying said: "It's not yours, but whose?" Ouyang Tai smiled wryly and said: "Catch him and ask him, it's all right!" The pockmarked man was obviously scared out of his wits by Lu Zhengying's miraculous counterattack. Because, although he was nailed to the ground by an arrow, he was not injured, only the clothes nailed to his shoulders. But he thought he was dead, and kept lying still. It was only when Ouyang Tai proposed to arrest him for questioning that he came back to his senses, subconsciously raised his hand to touch his forehead, and shouted out at the same time: My God! Lu Zhengying had already floated beside him, shouting angrily: Useless things! The pock-marked man just turned over and sat down, and then he knelt down again, kowtowing again and again: "Young master, please forgive me. At my little family, there is still an eighty-year-old mother who is unattended." Lu Zhengying snapped coldly: Shut up! yes!The pock-marked man climbed down, begged and continued: "My lord, please forgive me." Lu Zhengying murmured, "It's okay not to kill you, but you have to answer my questions honestly." Yes Yes.The pock-marked man repeatedly kowtowed and said: "The little one will answer every question." Lu Zhengying shouted in a deep voice: Look up! The pockmarked man shook his body and said: Yes! He raised his head, but that look of sincerity and fear made Lu Zhengying frown: Why did you assassinate me? The little ones do what they are told. On whose order? Our chief villager's order. Lu Zhengying stared brightly and asked: Is that the old thief Ximen Rui? The pockmarked man nodded and said: Yes. At this time, Ouyang Tai, who was standing by, gave Lu Zhengying a knowing smile, as if to say: This is none of my business. Lu Zhengying didn't pay attention to Ouyang Tai's expression, but focused on the pockmarked man, and asked sharply, "Where is the old Ximen thief?" The pock-marked man trembled, and said in a low voice: I don't know Between Lu Zhengying's sharp eyebrows, Zhu Yanan was the first to scold, "You bastard!Just now you said that it was Ximenrui's order, how could you not know? The pockmarked man smiled wryly and said, "Second miss, our chief village master refuses to tell me his whereabouts, can I ask him?" Zhu Yanan was slightly stunned and said: It makes sense Lu Zhengying paid attention and asked: Are there any accomplices of yours in this Baoqing Mansion? have.The pockmarked man continued with a serious face: Our chief village master has made up his mind to put you to death. Not only do we have comrades in the Baoqing mansion, but we also have people along the way, all the way to Xiakou. Therefore, in the future, you have to be especially careful of someone plotting against you anytime, anywhere. Lu Zhengying frowned and said, "Okay, I'll let you go back. Please send a message to the old thief Ximen. From now on, whenever and wherever I meet him, it will be his death." Then, he asked in a deep voice: Did you hear that? The pock-marked man respectfully said: I heard it, little one. Lu Zhengying shouted angrily: Get lost if you hear that! yes!The pockmarked man respectfully kowtowed again, then stood up, and ran away with his head in his arms. Only then did Lu Zhengying smile coldly at Ouyang Tai and said: Now, your side has changed from two to three, let's go! Ouyang Tai smiled wryly and said: Ximenrui is what kind of skill, he is also worthy of joining us. Lu Zhengying smiled and said: One more friend is better than one more enemy, not to mention that you all share the same hatred Ouyang Tai smiled bitterly and said authentically: The more you talk, the more outrageous it is. Just imagine: between you and me, where is the enmity? After a pause, he continued with a smile: Please come with me, both of you, let's talk while walking. Saying that, together with the young man in blue shirt, he rushed away first. Lu Zhengying and Zhu Yanan also followed up and asked: Not bad!Between you and me, there really is no enmity at all, but what is the reason for trying to get rid of us this time? Ouyang Tai turned his head and smiled and said: Brother, as I said just now, don't take my words out of context, your questions will be answered as soon as you reach the river From the Town God's Temple in the city to the riverside, it's only half a mile. In terms of the footsteps of these four, even though they are in the middle of the downtown area, it didn't take long for them to arrive. Yes, in the dark night, there is an old woman in Tsing Yi with white hair and wrinkled face, standing on the sandy beach by the river. 此人就是最近崛起武林的武揚鏢局局主、辣手仙娘辛玉鳳。 當歐陽泰替雙方引見過後，辛玉鳳立即向歐陽泰問道：歐陽大俠已經同呂公子說明白了？ 歐陽泰含笑接道：還沒有，我想還是由你辛局主說明較好。 辛玉鳳哼了一聲道：婆婆媽媽的，一點都不乾脆！ 接著，目光集注呂正英，正容說道：呂公子，我不知阿萍同你說過沒有，我這個人，說話做事都是乾脆得很，現在我也是乾脆地同你說，今宵請你們兩個到這兒來，只有兩條路任憑選擇。 呂正英笑道：這倒真算是快人快語，但不知是哪兩條路？ 辛玉鳳道：一條是死路，一條是生路。 呂正英漫應道：有這麼嚴重嗎？ 辛玉鳳道：我老婆子從不拖泥帶水，你也可得乾脆一點。 呂正英一整神色道：好！Say it!生路如何？死路又怎樣？ 辛玉鳳冷然接道：生路嘛！自現在起，脫離朱四娘，改投我武揚鏢局 歐陽泰截口笑道：辛局主，還有我哩！ 辛玉鳳哼了一聲道：你我之間，等這小子的事，說明白之後，再另作了斷。 歐陽泰笑道：難道我們之間，也得憑武力解決？ 辛玉鳳怒聲道：武林中事，不憑武力解決，能憑什麼？ 呂正英笑道：如果兩位爭執不休，小可可要告辭啦！ 辛玉鳳冷笑一聲道：我的話還沒說完，你急什麼！ 呂正英自我解嘲地一笑道：好！Xiao Ke is listening respectfully. 辛玉鳳接道：我這個人，最開明，也最公道，只要在改投到我門下來，不但武揚鏢局的基業，由你主持，阿萍、阿文兩個丫頭，我也可以做主許配給你，同時也不阻撓你同朱亞男的好事。 朱亞男截口嬌笑道：如此說來，你這個人，倒算得上是既開明、又公道。 辛玉鳳綻顏一笑道：丫頭你也同意了？ 朱亞男笑道：光是我同意沒有用，還得我這位呂大哥同意才行！ 辛玉鳳目注呂正英道：小夥子，你說？ 呂正英歉然一笑道：很抱歉！小可不願受人擺佈 辛玉鳳老臉一變道：你跟著朱四娘那個神經病的女人，有什麼好？ 朱亞男俏臉一沉道：你才是神經病的女人哩！ 呂正英卻同時說道：那是我自己的事 辛玉鳳冷笑道：好！我自己得不到的，也決不讓別人能夠得有！ 這時，歐陽泰才含笑接道：小夥子，現在該不須我再加說明了吧？ 呂正英淡然一笑道：是的，毋須另加解釋了。 頓住話鋒，精目在他方二人臉上一掃之後，才沉聲接道：兩位，劃下道來吧！ 歐陽泰笑問道：年輕人，你不多加考慮一下？ 呂正英冷然接道：我毋須考慮。 歐陽泰轉向辛玉鳳笑道：辛局主，這小夥子的態度堅決，看來是沒什麼可談的了。 辛玉鳳唔了一聲道：不錯。 So.歐陽泰含笑接道：你我之間，也該開始談一談了。 辛玉鳳冷笑一聲道：你我之間沒什麼可談的，亮兵刃吧！ 歐陽泰笑道：你那成名兵刃三絕銅琶並未帶來，我怎好先亮兵刃哩！ 辛玉鳳冷然接道：這場合，講究的是力量，你要是講客氣，可要後悔莫及的了。 歐陽泰笑了笑道：辛局主說得對，看來我只好恭敬不如從命了。 鏘地一聲，已拔出一個起手式，含笑接道：辛局主請！ 辛玉鳳面含冷笑，兩手空空地，緩步而前。 就當這兩大勢力的首腦，即將展開一場龍爭虎鬥之間，呂正英忽然沉聲喝道：且慢！ 辛玉鳳蹙眉問道：你還有什麼話說？ 呂正英笑道：兩位本來是為了要剷除我同朱小姐而來，此刻，聯合陣線未曾組成，卻先來一個自相殘殺，豈非是天大的笑話嘛！ 辛玉鳳冷哼一聲道：與你何干！ 呂正英淡然一笑道：站在我的立場上，我是希望你們打個兩敗俱傷，我才好輕輕鬆鬆地揚長而去！ 歐陽泰截口笑道：是啊！ 那你為何還要阻止我們搏鬥哩！ 因為，呂正英漫應道：我覺得那樣一來，不夠刺激。 辛玉鳳笑問道：你小子認為要怎樣才算夠刺激呢？ 歐陽泰笑道：辛局主一向是冷若冰霜，此刻，居然現出笑容來，你小子，可真不簡單啊！ 辛玉鳳冷然叱道：少廢話！接著，又目注呂正英沉聲說道：小子快答我所問。 呂正英淡淡地一笑道：夠刺激的辦法，自然是由我向你們的聯合陣線挑戰，或者是一個一個地上來也行。 歐陽泰一怔道：你小子，神經有點不正常吧？ 呂正英笑道：不！我自信比誰都要正常。 不等對方開口，又含笑反問道：兩位先行自相殘殺，是否為了要爭取對付我的優先權呢？ 歐陽泰、辛玉鳳，同時點頭道：不錯。 almost.呂正英含笑接道：這就是了，兩位試想，像那樣曠時費事的，多不划算啊！ 歐陽泰向辛玉鳳苦笑道：這小子說的倒委實有道理。 辛玉鳳卻向呂正英蹙眉問道：依你之見呢？ 呂正英正容接道：依我之見，就是由我向兩位挑戰，那就是簡單得多了。 歐陽泰笑道：好，且說說你的辦法看？ 呂正英接道：咱們以十招為限，誰能在十招之內將我制服，我同二小姐就投入誰的門下。 辛玉鳳冷笑一聲道：你忘了我剛才說的，這是一條死路？ 呂正英正容如故地道：如果我被殺死了，是我自己學藝不精，怨不得別人。 歐陽泰點點頭道：好！我同意你的辦法，只是，你先向誰挑戰呢？ 呂正英道：這個，可由你們自己決定，拈鬮也好，以猜拳的方式也好。 辛玉鳳道：還是拈鬮吧！ 呂正英道：這拈鬮之事，只好有勞朱二小姐來主持了。 朱亞男含笑接道：好的，我樂於為三位效力 拈鬮的結果，是辛玉鳳優先，但呂正英卻沉聲說道：有一點，我要事先說明，兩位也必須遵守才行。 辛玉鳳、歐陽泰點點頭道：你說吧？ 呂正英正容道：如果十招之內，兩位不會殺死我，也不會制服我時，以後可不能再向我歪纏啊！ 辛玉鳳、歐陽泰同時點首：那是當然！Of course! 呂正英接道：還有兩位必須承諾，替我做一件事。 辛玉鳳、歐陽泰同聲問道：做什麼事？ 呂正英笑道：做什麼事，我得暫時保密，不過，那絕對是兩位能力之內，能做到的事。 歐陽泰笑道：如果你要我們去做小偷、做強盜 呂正英截口笑道：那絕對是光明正大之事。 辛玉鳳蹙眉接道：這個 呂正英笑問道：難道辛局主對這十招之搏，已失去必勝的信心？ joke!辛玉鳳一展雙眉道：好！我全都答應了。 歐陽泰也含笑接道：我也是。 呂正英含笑抱拳一禮道：多謝兩位金諾！ 辛玉鳳、歐陽泰二人互相投過一絲苦笑之間，呂正英卻正容說道：辛局主請準備，小可要放肆了。 他是說幹就幹，話聲一落，鏘然震響，長劍已經出鞘緊接著寒芒閃處，一式笑指天南，逕行刺向辛玉鳳的左肩井大穴。 辛玉鳳哈哈大笑道：小子欺人太甚！居然用這最平凡的劍招來向我挑戰 她口中說著，人卻是不閃不避地，疾伸右手的食中二指，向對方的劍葉挾來。 呂正英這一招最平凡的笑指天南，所蘊涵的內家真力，也似乎平凡得很，以辛玉鳳的功力和身手而言，她目前這動作，也不能算是輕敵。 但她的兩指才出，不由發出一聲驚咦道：你小子 原來她兩指一出，呂正英的笑指天南已改為春雲乍展，也就是由原來的直刺之勢，陡地一沉，劍尖上幻出一片寒星，逕襲對方前胸的五大要穴，同時，右手還輕飄飄地擊出一掌。 雖然變了招式，卻還是平凡得很，不過，卻是平凡得恰到好處，大有化腐朽為神奇之妙。 尤其是那輕飄飄的一掌，使得辛玉鳳精目中神光連閃地，沉聲問道：小子，幾時學會本門的掌法的？ 呂正英笑道：這是我自創的掌法呀！ 辛玉鳳冷笑道：準是阿萍、阿文，兩個丫頭私自傳授的了？ 呂正英道：辛局主，怎麼連自己的愛徒也信不過了 就這對話之間，呂正英已接連攻出了六招。 這六招中，至少有三招是最平凡的招式。 當然，像這樣的招式，對辛玉鳳這樣的頂尖兒的高手，不會有什麼作用。 就當呂正英話聲一落之間，辛玉鳳已開始反擊，並冷笑道：現在，該我回敬你四招了。 辛玉鳳是準備在最後四招中，將呂正英制服的，以她的身手而言，這四招反擊，可真是非同小可了。 辛玉鳳本來是以三絕銅琶成名，但她目前憑藉來爭奪武林霸權的卻是一套神奇莫測的降魔掌法。 所以，她一開始反攻，就使出了看家本領，一時之間，但見重重疊疊的掌影，挾著呼呼勁風，有若長江大河似的，綿綿而出，使得呂正英被迫而連連後退，聯手中的青鋼長劍，也顯得那麼黯然失色。 不過，呂正英雖然有點捉襟見肘，而險象環生，但他卻總算接下了對方那雷霆萬鈞的四招搶攻。 當辛玉鳳的最後一招使完時，呂正英飛身飄退丈外，抱劍長揖，含笑說道：多謝辛局主手下留情！ 也不知是故意裝成，還是實情，呂正英的額頭上，居然有著一頭汗水。 辛玉鳳臉上的肌肉，連連抽搐著，此外，卻看不出任何表情。 只見她，向著呂正英深深地凝注著，半晌之後，才輕輕一嘆道：我手下可沒留情。 接著，才向一旁的歐陽泰淡然一笑道：現在就看你的啦！ 說完，立即轉身，向府城方向，緩緩地踱去，由背後看來，她的腳步顯得那麼沉重，好像突然之間，蒼老了十年似的。 歐陽泰含笑接道：辛局主，也不看看我這邊的結果，就走了？ 辛玉鳳頭也不回地答道：沒興趣。 歐陽泰笑道：那麼，在下不送了。 頓住話鋒，目光移注呂正英，似笑非笑地接道：小夥子，來吧！ 緊接著，又神色一整道：老夫使的是刀，有道是刀劍無眼，你可得小心一點。 呂正英含笑接道：多謝提醒！小可有僭了！
