Chapter 18 Chapter Eighteen

Zhu Yanan cut his mouth and sighed: That is to say, Mrs. Gongsun sold you to Chun Yukun? Yes.Zhu Siniang said with a wry smile: From then on, I became one of Chunyukun's concubines. The two sisters Zhu Shengnan and Zhu Yanan sighed at the same time. Zhu Siniang also let out a long sigh and said: My child, maybe you are all thinking in your heart, why didn't your mother die to protect her innocence at that time, but she had to be manipulated by others again and again? Zhu Shengnan and Zhu Yanan nodded at the same time and said: Yes, the boy really has this idea. Zhu Siniang sighed faintly: Speaking of it now, you two should also understand.

Zhu Shengnan and Zhu Yanan were slightly startled, but Zhu Siniang said solemnly: When a woman loves a man, there is no power to stop it. Then he said: At that time, I had the courage to live because of my obsession with Yun Zhonghe. I always hoped to find a chance to rescue Yun Zhonghe who was wrongly imprisoned. Zhu Yanan then asked: In the future, will Yun Zhonghe be rescued? Zhu Siniang said: "Afterwards, Yun Zhonghe came out, but I didn't rescue it. Zhu Yanan said: How did it come out? Zhu Siniang sighed softly: "I don't know, now, let's talk about the tragic change in Yicui Building sixteen years ago.

She paused, pondered for a while, and then continued with tears: I don't know how he got out of prison?I don't know how he found out about me and sneaked into Invincible Fort?He actually entered the Yicui Building where I lived in a certain night. To me, this situation was too unexpected. In the room, the old thief restrained Yun Zhonghe without saying a word. Then, she froze her silver teeth and said: That old thief insulted me in front of Yun Zhonghe, and then killed Yun Zhonghe in front of me. Thinking about that bloody scene, I still wish I could put Chunyu Kun in front of him. Frustrated.

Zhu Shengnan asked: Mother, there is a person, you forgot to tell him his whereabouts. Zhu Siniang was startled and said: Who? Zhu Shengnan continued indifferently: You are the one who forbids me to call him Mrs. Gongsun of my father. Zhu Siniang grunted and said, "I don't know the whereabouts of that person either." Zhu Shengnan frowned and said: If there is no accident, he should still be alive? Zhu Siniang murmured again: "It's very possible." Then, with another set of silver teeth, he said: If he is already dead, it is his luck, otherwise I will not let him go.

Zhu Shengnan said with a painful expression on his face: Mother, it happened many years ago, why do you bother? Zhu Siniang gnashed her teeth and said, "The sufferings I have suffered in the past, all the time, will no longer bite my heart. Even after a hundred years, in my impression, it will still be long-lasting and always new." Zhu Yanan changed the topic and said: Mother, how did you leave the Invincible Fort in the future? Zhu Siniang sighed and said: This paragraph is a long story to tell. (About Zhu Siniang's departure from Invincible Fort was briefly described by Aunt Shuiyin to Lu Zhengying earlier, so I won't repeat it here.)

After Zhu Siniang finished her story of leaving the Invincible Fort, Zhu Yanan sighed and said: No wonder you are so kind to that big yellow and little yellow, it turns out that our family's life was saved by big yellow. Zhu Siniang nodded and continued: "Yes, so, for the big yellow and the small yellow, you two should take special care of them from now on. Zhu Shengnan just murmured noncommittally, but Zhu Yanan nodded repeatedly and said: My boy, I wrote it down. Immediately afterwards, she asked attentively: "Mother, now, should we talk about my father?" Zhu Siniang continued indifferently: You have already met your father.

This statement not only made Zhu Yanan startled, but even Zhu Shengnan who was at the side asked in surprise: Who is it? Zhu Siniang looked at Zhu Yanan and asked: "Girl, do you still remember that old monk who helped you in Baoqing Mansion with a black mole next to his left nose?" Zhu Yanan was a little lost, and said to himself: The monk is my father? Zhu Siniang nodded and continued: According to the situation you described, it is absolutely correct. Zhu Yanan frowned and said, "Looking at the situation, he already recognized my origin?" Zhu Siniang said: That's right, otherwise, he won't help you.

Zhu Yanan then asked: How could he recognize me? Zhu Siniang said: This point is easy to explain. First, because you are my second daughter, Zhu Siniang, he can imagine it; Same, so, as long as you are caring, you can know your origin at the first sight. Zhu Yanan frowned and said to himself: Yes, his chin is also pointed and slightly upturned. Then, he asked attentively: Mother, isn't my father a bad person? Zhu Siniang sighed and said: If your mother met a half-human man, I wouldn't become so extreme today. Zhu Yanan said with a wry smile: But, the old man looks very kind now.

Zhu Siniang gritted her teeth: But at that time, he behaved like an animal. Zhu Yanan frowned and said: Mother, how did you know each other back then, and how did you break up? Zhu Siniang continued thinking: At that time, I took your sister and Dahuang, two people and one beast, to walk in remote mountainous areas. Zhu Yanan asked: Why is that? Zhu Siniang sighed and said: To avoid Chun Yukun's pursuit! Then, she said thoughtfully: One day, Rhubarb rescued a man from the jaws of a tiger. Zhu Yanan cut in and said, "The man who was rescued is my father?" Zhu Siniang nodded and said: Yes, Da Huang and I saved his life, and we waited on him to live in the cave for a month, until the wound was healed.

She stopped talking, glanced at the faces of the two beloved daughters, and asked with a wry smile: Guess, how did the thief repay me? Zhu Shengnan asked indifferently: "Is he repaying you by insulting you?" Yes.Zhu Siniang sighed and said: When his wound was about to heal and he was just able to move, he insulted me while I was asleep, and forcibly took away most of the gold, silver and jewelry I carried with me. damn thing!Zhu Shengnan continued in a voice of hatred: At that time, why didn't Da Huang kill him? Zhu Siniang smiled wryly and said: He only attacked me when he was going out in rhubarb.

Zhu Yanan sighed softly and said: You haven't met since then? Zhu Siniang gritted her teeth and said: If we met, he wouldn't be alive today. Zhu Yanan said in pain: Mother, are you going to kill him now? Zhu Siniang gritted her teeth and said: Why should I let him go?You wouldn't have imagined how much suffering I've suffered when I was pregnant with you and gave birth to you in that environment!The word "endure hardship" really can't express the situation at that time. It should be said that I have gone through life and death several times. If it wasn't for that mad dog, how could I have suffered so much. Zhu Yanan burst into tears, hesitant to speak. Zhu Siniang sighed again: During that time, thanks to Rhubarb taking good care of me, if it wasn't for Rhubarb's care, and finding the blessed place of Tianxin Valley in the future, the three of us, mother and daughter, would have been buried here long ago. Among the barren hills. Zhu Shengnan then asked: So it turns out that Tianxin Valley was also discovered by Rhubarb? Zhu Siniang smiled wryly and said: If Dahuang hadn't discovered it, how would a weak woman like me have discovered such natural dangers? Zhu Shengnan also sighed softly and said: Rhubarb can be regarded as a great benefactor of our family. Zhu Siniang continued with a serious face: You two sisters, do you think that I once treated Rhubarb's mother and child as different? Zhu Shengnan continued with a smile: Mother, my sister and I can also abide by your teachings, and we don't treat them as aliens. Then, he asked attentively: Mother, where did those mastiffs come from? Zhu Siniang said: "It was sold by some strangers from the frontier. At first, it was a male and female pair, and then they bred slowly. Paused slightly, his beautiful eyes swept across the pretty faces of the two house girls, and continued with a slight sigh: Now, you already know what happened to your mother in the past, so you won't be dissatisfied with your mother's extreme personality anymore, right? ? Zhu Shengnan smiled coquettishly, "Mom, I've never said that before!" Zhu Siniang looked at Zhu Yanan and asked: Yanan, how about you? Zhu Yanan said with a painful expression on his face: Mother, I think that what has happened, even if you take revenge, there is no way to undo it. Zhu Siniang sneered and said: But I can vent my resentment. mother!Zhu Yanan begged and continued: If you can forgive them, it will have a more warning effect than punishing or killing them. Zhu Siniang's beautiful eyes focused deeply, and after a long time, she snorted coldly: You are really my good daughter Due to the irreconcilable personality between mother and daughter, the result of this family meeting was very unpleasant. But almost at the same time, an unpleasant accident also occurred in the Invincible Fort. That was when Hu Yanqi, Chun Yukun and a few demon leaders held a high-level secret meeting, and the rest of them left one after another. After Huyanqi sat alone and meditated for a while, suddenly a strange smile flashed across his old face, he stared out of the window, and said with a calm smile: "My friend, your purpose of eavesdropping on secrets should be considered achieved. Why don't you be generous and come in and have a seat?" ! He spoke in earnest, but there was no sound outside the window. Huyanqi sneered and said: What?Have the courage to enter the Invincible Fort to explore the secrets, but dare not show up in public! Outside the window, there was still no response, only the strong northwest wind made the paper windows rustle. Hu Yanqi thought for a while, then suddenly raised his eyebrows, opened the paper window, and walked out through the window. Outside the window, there is a small flowerbed, a red plum plant is flying in the snowflakes, exhaling a refreshing fragrance. There was already four or five inches of snow on the ground, but after he leaned over and inspected it carefully, there was no trace of the snow to be found. This situation seemed to make Huyanqi stunned, and after a while, he whispered to himself: If it wasn't because of my nervousness or hearing problems, then this person's lightness kung fu is so high that it would be terrifying At this moment, a figure flew past from the other end of the flower garden, Hu Yanqi hurriedly asked: "Who?" I am Shui Xiangyun. Following the words, Shui Xiangyun, who was all dressed up, turned around and fell in front of him, and said with a slight blessing: "Hello, old man!" Hu Yanqi stroked his long beard with his hands, and continued with a smile: "Okay, okay, where are you going?" Shui Xiangyun respectfully replied, "Xiangyun is on duty tonight, so report to Shenji Hall now." At this moment, Hu Yanqi had already slowly approached her, with a pair of fine eyes, but bewitched, scanning her body up and down, and said with an evil smile: "The yellow-haired girl has changed eighteen times, and now she has become a familiar girl." Apple! This is not an exaggeration at all. Although Shui Xiangyun is only fifteen years old and only one month older than Zhu Yanan, she is slightly inferior to Zhu Yanan in terms of beauty, and far behind Zhu Yanan in terms of martial arts, but she has developed earlier than Zhu Yanan, and of course she is younger. for maturity. Especially tonight she is wearing a black dress, the wasp waist, fat buttocks, and the towering twin peaks that are about to come out, all set off particularly eye-catching, everything makes Hu Yanqi salivate. Perhaps Shui Xiangyun has seen his own crisis from the other party's eyes, and immediately flew up decisively: "Old man, Xiangyun is leaving!" But her delicate body was less than a foot away, and Huyanqi had already raised his hand and caught her back in the air with his great receiving and attracting magic skill. He pinched her pretty face lightly, and said with a lewd smile: "Little baby, don't I'm afraid, the old man is the most sympathetic. Shui Xiangyun turned pale, took a step back and said, "Master, I still have to go to the Divine Machine Hall Hu Yanqi laughed and said: It's important to accompany my old man first. As for the Shenji Hall, I will send someone to say hello and tell them to send another person to go. Shui Xiangyun said in a trembling voice: No, no. While speaking, she took another step back. But she took a step back, but Hu Yanqi took two steps forward, put his arms around her waist, and said with a wicked smile: "All right, what my old man said is an order, and no one dares to disobey it." Saying that, he lifted Shui Xiangyun's delicate body and walked into the room.In desperation, Shui Xiangyun kicked his legs wildly and struggled desperately with his hands, and purposely raised his voice and shouted: Help! Huyanqi led her into the room, closed the door, threw her delicate body on the bed and said: "Little girl, don't be so tricky, who dares to break my good deeds in this invincible castle." Shui Xiangyun couldn't escape, couldn't beat and beat, and at the same time, she knew that no one would come to rescue her. In desperation, she had no choice but to beg: "Old man, I am your granddaughter!" Huyanqi laughed evilly and said: "Baby, it's not like you don't know. In my concept, there are only men and women. I don't care what their status is. Now, I am a man and you are a woman. Do you understand?" Immediately afterwards, he continued with a lewd smile: "Baby, I hope you will behave better and don't let me touch your acupoints. That way, it won't do you any good." Shui Xiangyun was in a situation where she could not survive or die, and she was already planning to go all out. Her face was ashen, her silver teeth twitched, and she glared angrily and said: "Old slave, I really didn't expect that you are not as good as a beast!" Hu Yanqi laughed and said: "Girl, you are too young. There is no difference between human beings and beasts. However, human beings only have an extra set of clothes to hide their ugliness, and a set of lying skills that mean nothing. As he said that, he began to undress himself, and said in a deep voice: Girl, don't think of dying hehe, you are young, you haven't even tasted the taste of life, if you just die like this, wouldn't it be yes Before he finished speaking, he suddenly asked sharply, "Who?" Outside the window, a cold voice came: I am the Heavenly Cao on duty who investigates the good and evil in the world. Shui Xiangyun was planning to chew her tongue and kill herself, but the current change could not help giving her a glimmer of hope, and she temporarily waited and watched. Hu Yanqi was really calm, he calmly buttoned the unbuttoned clothes again, and then sneered and said: You were the one who eavesdropped on the secret outside the window just now? As he spoke, he turned around slowly, only to see a strange man in white clothes standing outside the window, whose whole body was wrapped in a white cloth, leaving only a pair of blind eyes. But just this pair of fine eyes also made Hu Yanqi shudder a little. Because, that pair of fine eyes not only shone with divine light when they opened and closed, but also had a slight green light, like a pair of cat's eyes. The white-clothed weirdo answered coldly: Not bad! Huyanqi snorted and said: Your courage is really not small. The strange man in white smiled and said: "It's nothing special. Maybe you think this is a den of dragons and tigers, but in my mind, it can only be regarded as a den of rats at best." Huyanqi smiled coldly and said: Let's not bicker, let's just compete! The strange man in white nodded and said: This statement is exactly what I want. Hu Yanqi followed with attention: Are you here to rescue this girl? The weird man in white nodded again and said: Not bad! Immediately afterwards, he smiled lightly and said: You should call more assistants as soon as possible! Hu Yanqi grunted and said: I will call when necessary, but there is no need for it yet. The weird man in white laughed and said: Then you will regret it too late. No, Hu Yanqi continued with a smile: I am never provoked, I just said that I will not call an assistant for the time being, do you understand? The weird man in white seemed to be taken aback for a moment and said: You really deserve to be an old fox! Hu Yanqi smiled and said: This sentence is not too exaggerated. The strange man in white said: Since you want to compete in action, why don't you come out? Hu Yanqi said: "What I mean is to wait for work with ease, and wait for you to do it first." Wait for me to do it first?The weird man in white smiled and said: Then you are at a disadvantage, aren't you? Huyan Qiman replied: "Anything, between the two, there is always one party who will suffer, but I don't care." Then, he focused his attention and asked with a smile: Didn't you come here to save the girl? The strange man in white snorted and said: Nonsense! Huyanqi smiled and said: This is not nonsense, what I mean is, since you came here to save this girl, then let's take this girl as the target of our competition. The weird man in white seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and then asked: Please tell me the details. Hu Yanqi continued with a smile: "The method is very simple. I just stand here and don't move. As long as you can rescue this girl, I will not ask my assistants to intercept me, but I will also respectfully send you out of the castle." The strange man in white smiled and said: You are really generous. Huyanqi laughed and said: Yes, I, Huyanqi, are famous for my generosity, as long as I have enough friends, even my wife can entertain guests. The weird man in white snorted and said, "That's why you two, master and apprentice, only share one wife." Hu Yanqi laughed and said: We, master and apprentice, share everything, regardless of each other. After he said that, he was slightly startled and said: You know a lot of things! The weird man in white responded casually: It's just that. Huyanqi asked with a smile: Why don't you make a move? What are you going to do? Help! The white-clothed eccentric said: "Just now, what did you mean when you said you stood there still?" Hu Yanqi replied with a smile: What I mean is: I don't leave this room, but I don't want to watch you rescue people without stopping them. The man in white groaned and said: This is indeed a difficult problem. Huyanqi sneered and said: There is no such cheap thing in the world. The strange man in white said: Okay, let me think about it. Hu Yanqi nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, that's the decision. If you have more time than a cup of tea and haven't taken any action, then I will call someone to serve you." Huyanqi, the old devil, is really treacherous, the enemy has already approached his window, and he even stretched out his hand to test the depth of the opponent. Of course, he concluded that the other party was the one who just eavesdropped on their secret meeting. He already knew from the opponent's actions and the fact that there were no footprints on the snow that the opponent must have superhuman attainments in martial arts. Otherwise, if one person and a horse broke into this invincible fort where the enemy is different from the dragon's pool and tiger's den, wouldn't it be too long for the birthday man to hang himself? Hu Yanqi adopted an attitude of remaining unchanged and responding to all changes, but the weird man in white also had his own plans. It turned out that there was more than one strange man in white clothes, and there was another partner who was dressed exactly the same, at the corner of the small flower garden, facing Aunt Shuiyin. Obviously, Shui Xiangyun's call of help just now has alarmed many people in Invincible Fortress, and Aunt Shuiyin was one of them who heard the sound. However, when the rest of the people recognized that the voice calling for help was a woman, and it came from the room of their supremely authoritative old man, they all smiled knowingly and dispersed one after another. The only exception is Aunt Shuiyin. But apart from standing there blankly, feeling anxious, she didn't dare to act rashly. Of course, she knew very well that with her martial arts, it would be a dream to save someone from Huyanqi's hands. Moreover, as long as she takes action, it is very likely that two lives will be ruined. But if she endured it for the time being, her adopted daughter would not be immune to humiliation, but she would be able to maintain a useful body and assist Lu Zhengying, and there is still hope for revenge in the future. Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, she endured it, but it is not difficult to imagine the pain in her heart for this kind of endurance. Just when she was so angry that she clenched her silver teeth and her delicate body trembled, she heard a faint but clear voice in her ears: Senior Shui, please calm down. When the words arrived, the figure flashed, and the other strange man in white had already arrived in front of her. Aunt Shuiyin was startled, and asked via voice transmission: Your Excellency is The white-clothed weirdo said something, but Shuiyingu opened her tongue in great excitement, her beautiful eyes sparkled, if it wasn't for the white-clothed weirdo who quickly stopped her with gestures, she might have screamed out. Then, the two immediately began to talk with each other through sound transmission. When the negotiation between the weird man in white at Huyanqi's window and Huyanqi came to an end, the two people here also left quietly. During this period of time, Shui Xiangyun was the most anxious. Although she has temporarily avoided the danger of being humiliated, no one can guarantee whether this savior who arrived in time can save her face. Moreover, she also has good martial arts, her acupoints are not restrained, and her movements are completely free, but in front of the current old man, she is like a mouse in front of a civet cat. Although she wants to escape in her heart, she just can't get up. Just when she was extremely anxious, but didn't know what to do, with a cry, a hole was pierced in the wall behind, and then, Gu Shuiyin's urgent voice came from outside: "Xiangyun, come out quickly!" ! Shui Xiangyun burst into surprise, and immediately pierced through the curtain in a skillful swallow, shooting out from the cave wall. It turned out that the house where Huyanqi lived was a small and independent abode. There are flower gardens in the front and back, so Shui Xiangyun flew into the flower garden immediately. Moreover, before she could stand still, Aunt Shuiyin took her hand and yelled softly: "Let's go!" Before the end of the word Zou fell, the two figures rose up again and disappeared into the wind and snow. The change in this split second was not only too unexpected, but also too fast, so fast that even a top expert like Naihu Yanqi couldn't stop it in time. When he was slightly stunned, then shouted angrily, and followed him out of the hole, he slapped his head with a slap in the face, and shouted: "Old thief, give me a slap!" Huyanqi could tell from the accent that it was definitely not Shuiyingu, and even with Shuiyingu's skill, she couldn't use this kind of vigorous air-splitting palm force. But at this moment, Huyanqi has no time to tell who the other party is. Under the condition of being anxious and angry, the figure of the forward spurt remains the same, but the two palms are hard-pressed with 80% true strength. Push forward suddenly. There was a loud whistling sound, and there was a white-clothed figure, shooting away as if an arrow had left the string, and a charming smile came from the night sky: Thank you for your kindness! In this situation, Huyanqi couldn't help being stunned and said: It turns out that she is also a woman. He heard another cold voice from behind him saying: Yes, that's the boy. Hu Yanqi turned around, only to see that the white-clothed strange man standing by the window had come a foot behind him. When Hu Yanqi saw it, he couldn't help being startled again: Is that really your apprentice? The strange man in white continued coldly: Believe it or not. Hu Yanqi sneered and said: Looking at today's martial arts, there should be only a handful of people who can receive the palm of the old man's 80% true power. I never believe that the person who received the palm of my 80% true power just now will be yours apprentice. The eccentric man in white smiled and said, "There is no evidence for what you say, why don't you give it a try?" Huyanqi snorted and said: I will try Maybe it was the loud noise just now, which alarmed the people who were on duty nearby, and saw two big men in strong clothes rushing over and said: "Old man, what happened?" Hu Yanqi waved his hand and said: It's none of your business, let's go! The two well-dressed men responded respectfully, looked at the strange man in white, and then at the gap in the wall, and hurried away with puzzled expressions on their faces. The strange man in white smiled and said: "I want to try my skills. There will be more opportunities in the future. Now, I want to remind you that you should send me out of the castle respectfully." Huyanqi said angrily: Why? Based on what you just said.The strange man in white smiled and said: Just now, didn't you say that as long as I can save the girl, then I will be sent out of the castle respectfully, and I am confident that I have not exceeded the time limit for tea. Huyanqi sneered and said: You are so embarrassed to mention it! The weird man in white laughed and said: Why can't I mention it? Huyanqi asked angrily: Just now, under our agreement, does it mean that you have someone as an assistant? The strange man in white said: No, but, he never said that assistants are not allowed! Then, he said to himself, "it doesn't matter if you don't send it off, I have the ability to come in, and I also have the ability to go out." Huyanqi sneered and said: I'm afraid it won't be that easy! The weird man in white smiled and said: You must show me my hands, that's fine too Huyanqi snapped angrily: I want to see you first, what changed! Before the words fell, the man rushed towards the white-clothed strange man like a sharp arrow leaving the string. On the surface, there is nothing surprising about his whole body flying around, except for his speed, but in the eyes of such a big expert as the strange man in white, he couldn't help but glisten with splendor, and he blurted out praise: : What a brilliant skill! In the voice, his figure was spinning like a top, flashing and disappearing, causing the opponent's thunderous blow to miss by a hair, and then he laughed loudly: "Now, you should have seen me Something changed? After three thunderclaps, Huyanqi actually stopped attacking, and said with an oh: I understand! Just now these three palms fought resolutely, in the soup with energy, snow and sand flew together, within a radius of ten feet, it was like an explosion, even a layer of ground was scraped off. As for the two parties who fought recklessly for the three palms, the distance between the original hand-to-hand combat has been extended to more than five feet. At the same time, more and more people came to the Invincible Fort upon hearing the news, more than a hundred people to say the least. However, those people were all watching from a distance, not even daring to make a sound. The strange man in white smiled and asked: What do you understand? Hu Yanqi continued with deep eyes: Are you Zhou Junyu's master? The weird man in white asked noncommittally: Is there any more? Also, Hu Yanqi continued with deep gaze: You are obviously the same as Zhu Siniang with your ghost body method and Taiyi Profound Handle. Suddenly, he automatically stopped talking, just staring at the other party's reaction with piercing eyes. The strange man in white snorted and said, "How about Zhu Siniang?" Huyanqi also snorted and said: You and I know that. The weird man in white suddenly changed the topic and said: Huyanqi, now, in front of your disciples and grandchildren, answer me a question, does what you say count? Huyanqi was slightly startled and said: What do you mean by that? The strange man in white said: I mean: You should fulfill your promise and send me out of the castle respectfully. The white-clothed eccentric who had already left suddenly appeared like a long rainbow pouring down on the spot, and asked with a smile: Master, why don't you leave? The weird man in white called Master laughed and said: I am waiting for this old man Huyan to send me off in person! Without waiting for the other party to answer, he immediately asked: What about the girls? Later, the weird man in white laughed and said: I have escorted them to a safe place. The weird man in white who came first waved his hand and said: Good!My boy, let's go first! Later, the weird man in white smiled and said: No!Master, let's go together. The weird man in white who came first laughed and said: What?Are you still afraid that they will keep the teacher? Later, the weird man in white nodded and said: Such a duplicity person will inevitably destroy his promise without relying on the strength of his numbers. The weird man in white who came first laughed and said: If that's the case, you won't be able to help me if you stay here, and you may have to distract me from taking care of you. Later, the weird man in white stomped his feet and said coquettishly: "Master, why do you think I'm so useless? Just now, I slapped that fellow, that old man is nothing more than that." Huyanqi suddenly shouted angrily: Shut up! Later, the weird man in white smiled and said: If you are not convinced, let's do it again, there is no need to blow your beard and stare. Hu Yanqi snorted and said: "What kind of status is this old man, how can I have the same knowledge as you, a junior like you." Later, the weird man in white also snorted and said: Don't look down on the younger generation, I really don't take you seriously for people like you! The white-clothed weirdo who came first smiled at the old Hu Yanqi who was livid with anger: Your Excellency is very forgetful, you just said that you don't have the same knowledge as the juniors, and you forgot right away! Huyanqi sneered and said: You are a good apprentice! Many compliments!The eccentric man in white who came first paid attention and continued: Your Excellency, are you fulfilling your promise?Or should we, master and apprentice, force ourselves to break through? Huyanqi pondered for a while, then sighed softly: You are amazing, tonight, I have to let you go. Then, he waved his hand and said: "Let's go, next time we meet, it won't be such a cheap thing." The weird man in white who came first laughed and said: This is exactly what I need to say, unexpectedly you said it first. After a quick meal, he turned his head and shouted to the white-clothed weirdo in a deep voice: My boy, let's go! The words fell away, and in the deep night, I saw two white figures, which disappeared in a flash like a fleeting shadow. Hu Yanqi hastily shouted in a deep voice: Pass down the order, don't stop it The two strange men in white clothes left, and so did the onlookers. Huyanqi was the only one present, standing upright in the wind and snow, like a clay sculpture. After a long time, after a long time, he raised his voice and shouted: Come on!Go ask the castle master. A clear voice came from the abode: "Go back to the old man, the owner of the castle is already waiting in the flower hall!" oh!With a light oh, Huyanqi hurried back to his abode. The next day, at dawn. Lu Zhengying was on the square in Yunmeng Beppu, gazing at the silvery white world alone. While thinking about it, the No. 12 female swordsman in purple clothes, who was on duty as a guard, suddenly rushed over from the gate and saluted him. Dao: Report to the messenger that there is a young man outside the gate who wants to see you. Lu Zhengying was startled and said, "What kind of person is it?" Ziyi No. 12 responded respectfully: It is a young man, he said his surname is Shui. Lu Zhengying said with an oh: "Go and invite him in." With that said, he himself went to the gate. Lu Zhengying intuitively thought that this young man surnamed Shui was Shui Xiangyun, but in fact, his conjecture was indeed correct. When he welcomed Shui Xiangyun, who was easy to be a hairpin, into the small living room of his dormitory, he already had a rough idea of ​​what happened in the Invincible Fort last night from Shui Xiangyun's mouth. After the two parties were seated, Lu Zhengying asked, "Why didn't my aunt come?" Shui Xiangyun replied: Her old man was worried about me being alone, and she wanted to escort me, but was stopped by her teacher, who personally escorted me secretly. Lu Zhengying asked in surprise: Is the teacher the weirdo in white you mentioned just now? Shui Xiangyun nodded and said: Exactly. Lu Zhengying then asked: Did you become a teacher last night? Shui Xiangyun nodded and smiled coquettishly: Yes. Although the answer was short, the expression on his face showed great excitement. Lu Zhengying said with a smile: I should congratulate you for obtaining such an extremely powerful master by accident. Shui Xiangyun smiled and said: "The one who should say congratulations is me, my little sister!" Lu Zhengying was startled and said, "How do you say that?" Shui Xiangyun asked back with a smile: Brother Zhengying, who do you think that other strange man in white clothes is? Due to the close relationship between Lu Zhengying and Aunt Shuiyin, although Shui Xiangyun had a formal conversation with Lu Zhengying for the first time, she called Brother Zhengying very naturally. Lu Zhengying smiled wryly and said: I don't have the ability to foretell, how could I know! Shui Xiangyun smiled and said: Let me tell you!That is sister Zhou Junyu. Lu Zhengying let out an exclamation, and Shui Xiangyun continued with a smile: We are all secretly protecting the future of you, the fifth tyrant. Lu Zhengying hastily stopped and said, "Shut up! Shui Xiangyun smiled apologetically, "Brother Zhengying, I was so happy that I slipped my tongue." Then, he added: But these are indeed worthy of congratulations to you! Lu Zhengying frowned and asked: Xiangyun, who is the commander? Shui Xiangyun smiled mysteriously and said: You will know in the future. Lu Zhengying suddenly remembered something and said: "Just now, did you say that the commander secretly escorted you here?" Yes. Then why didn't the old man come in? Shui Xiangyun also frowned and replied: I don't know about this either, the old man just said that he doesn't want to see you yet. After Lu Zhengying frowned and pondered for a while, he focused his attention and asked: Xiangyun, is the old man a man or a woman? It's a man!After Shui Xiangyun answered, he was startled and said: Why do you ask these? Lu Zhengying asked without answering: How old is the old man? I will not tell you. Why? Shui Xiangyun smiled and said: In order to make it easier for me to give you an unexpected surprise in the future. Lu Zhengying asked with a smile: Is this what you mean personally? Shui Xiangyun said: "It's also the meaning of my teacher and his old man." Lu Zhengying felt helpless, frowned and said to himself: Strange Zhu Yanan suddenly swept in with a gust of fragrant wind, and asked, "What's the matter?" Lu Zhengying continued with a smile: Yanan, you came just in time, let's see who this guest is? As he spoke, he pointed at Shui Xiangyun who had already stood up with a smile. While Zhu Yanan was slightly startled, Shui Xiangyun had already blessed her and said: "Little sister Shui Xiangyun, I have met sister Zhu." Dressed in men's clothes, but with a delicate voice, and the ceremony is feminine, Zhu Yanan couldn't help laughing, and then said: "So it's Sister Shui Lu Zhengying hurriedly continued: No, you both call each other sisters, who is the real sister? Zhu Yanan first answered: We'd better report our age automatically. I am fifteen years old this year. Shui Xiangyun smiled and said: I am also fifteen. Zhu Yanan said: I was born on August thirteenth. Shui Xiangyun was startled and said: I was born on July 12th, but I have been bothering you for a month. Zhu Yanan smiled coquettishly, "In this way, my calling sister was correct!" After a pause, he paid attention and asked: Sister Shui came here in disguise early in the morning, did something happen? Lu Zhengying was the first to say: Yes, it was a big mess Shui Xiangyun also nodded and said: "Furthermore, I was also ordered to make a statement to the Lingtang. Lu Zhengying was taken aback and said, "Why didn't you say this just now?" Shui Xiangyun smiled bitterly and said: I only have one mouth, how can I say two things at the same time? Zhu Yanan said with a smile: Brother Zhengying, don't interrupt, let Sister Shui Ru speak alone! Shui Xiangyun nodded and said: The thing is like this So, she said what she had just stated to Lu Zhengying, except for omitting the few sentences about working for Lu Zhengying, and said it again and again. After Zhu Yanan listened quietly, he couldn't help smiling and said: "Sister Shui got a blessing in disguise, I should congratulate you!" Then, he asked attentively: The master trained an apprentice who is as superb as Miss Zhou, he must be an extraordinary person, but I don't know how to call it? Shui Xiangyun smiled apologetically, "Sister Yanan, I'm sorry!"I am ordered to keep this secret. Lu Zhengying also smiled bitterly and said: I also hit a soft nail just now. Zhu Yanan continued with a serious face: "Since I was ordered to keep it secret, my younger sister can't force it." Shui Xiangyun smiled mysteriously: "Sister Yanan, don't worry, you will see my master soon, the old man appreciates you very much, and he still has a message to bring!" 朱亞男訝然問道：是帶口信給我？ 水湘雲點點頭道：正是。 朱亞男蹙眉問道：他老人家怎會認識我？又帶些什麼口信來？ 水湘雲嬌笑道：他老人家如何認識你，請恕我暫不答覆，至於那口信，卻很簡單，他老人家說請你在令堂面前多多發揮影響力，少造殺孽。 朱亞男正容點頭道：我會盡力而為的 她答得很爽快，但卻沒來由地，輕輕嘆了一聲。 呂正英自然懂得她這輕輕一嘆的用意，為免引起她更多的傷感，只好連忙岔開話題道：湘雲，是否該說明你要見令主的原因了？ 是的，水湘雲正容接道：這是最大機密，我必須見到令主時才說。 呂正英目光移注朱亞男問道：亞男，現在是否可以去見令主？ 朱亞男苦笑道：水姐姐是奉命來向我娘傳遞消息的，不是見客時間，也得見啊！ 水湘雲連忙接道：不！如果令主正在調息時，我等一會也不要緊。 朱亞男含笑接道：水姐姐不要客氣，兩位請跟我來 在朱亞男的前導下，越過作為內外之分的圍牆，向內府走去。 到達朱四娘所住的精舍前時，朱亞男回身低聲說道：兩位請稍等一下，我先向家母通報一聲。 她的話沒完，精舍的二樓上，已傳出朱四娘的語聲道：亞男，是誰來了？ 朱亞男揚聲答道：娘，是水湘雲姐姐和呂正英，水姐姐是奉命前來送消息的。 朱四娘沉聲接道：丫頭是少不更事，水姑娘遠來是客，怎可讓人家在外面久等。 朱亞男回頭向呂正英、水湘雲二人扮了一個鬼臉，才揚聲笑道：娘，您別生氣，我已請水姑娘進來了呀 進入精舍中，朱四娘已在她專用的小客廳中等待了。 呂正英、水湘雲二人分別行禮後，朱四娘卻目光炯炯地注視著易釵而弁的水湘雲，含笑說道：水姑娘這易容術，可的確高明呀！ 水湘雲嬌笑道：那是我義母替我改裝的。 朱四娘哦了一聲道：你是說水銀姑？ Exactly.水湘雲點首接道：令主，我義母要我代向您請安。 朱四娘笑道：哪敢當，你義母可好？ 水湘雲正容接道：托令主洪福，她老人家還很硬朗。 朱四娘注目接道：水姑娘此行 水湘雲含笑接道：令主，我同亞男妹妹已經是姐妹相稱了，您還是叫我名字吧！ 難得一見笑容的朱四娘又笑了，而且笑得很爽朗的：好，好，我就叫你名字了。 水湘雲嬌聲道：令主方才是準備問我此行來意？ 朱四娘點頭笑道：是啊！ 水湘雲正容接道：令主，我此行是奉向你報告機密消息而來，但在報告消息之前，必須先行說明一段經過。 朱四娘笑了笑道：你有權可以自由處理 於是，水湘雲又將昨宵在無敵堡中所發生的事故，從頭說起。 朱四娘聽得很仔細，當然，對於水湘雲的師父，也有與呂正英、朱亞男等人相同的問法。但卻都被水湘雲委婉地拒絕了。 朱四娘無可奈何地一笑之後，才注目問道：湘雲，你方才說，昨宵是由令師竊聽無敵堡的秘密會議開始的？ 水湘雲正容說道：是的，這就是我此行的任務了。 朱四娘道：你所傳遞的秘密消息，與他們的秘密會議有關？ Exactly.水湘雲點首接道：令主，昨宵參與無敵堡秘密會議的人，除呼延奇、淳于坤和少數的高級人員之外，還有一位必然是令主想不到的人物。 朱四娘一愣道：那是誰啊？ 水湘雲神秘地一笑道：就是那位黃山派的太上掌門人歐陽泰。 朱四娘禁不住嬌軀為之一震道：有這種事？ 水湘雲正容答道：這是家師親眼所見，絕對錯不了。 朱四娘美目深注地問道：他們說了些什麼？ 水湘雲道：因為家師去得太遲，他們開始時說過些什麼，沒法知道，只知道歐陽泰與令主聯盟是假，與無敵堡的聯盟才是真，至於以後如何發展，那就沒法預測了。 朱四娘一挫銀牙道：該殺的老賊！ 一頓話鋒，又注目問道：那麼，他們究竟有些什麼陰謀，令師也知道了？ 水湘雲苦笑了一下道：是的。 朱四娘扭頭向朱亞男問道：你姐姐呢？ 朱亞男恭應道：姐姐跟田斌一道出去了。 朱四娘怒聲道：快去將田斌那小畜牲找回來，我要親手斃了那小狗才甘心。 呂正英連忙接道：令主請息雷霆，靜聽屬下一言。 如果是在三個月之前，當朱四娘盛怒之下，呂正英要想插口，縱然不挨一記耳光，也得挨一頓臭罵。 但目前呂正英在朱四娘心目中的份量，與三個月以前，是不可同日而語了，因此，她聞言之後，只是哼了一聲道：有話就快點說！ yes!呂正英恭應一聲，才正容接道：令主，目前，最好是不要殺田斌。 Why?朱四娘注目接道：這小狗是歐陽泰的徒弟，我難道應該留一個奸細在身邊！ 呂正英笑道：令主，奸細之可怕，怕在不知道他的奸細身份，既然知道他的身份，我們也可以因勢利導地去運用他，如果現在殺了他，則等於打草驚蛇，反而使對方提高警覺。 朱四娘唔了一聲道：但事實上，昨宵湘雲令師行跡已洩，也就等於他們的秘密已經走漏，無所謂什麼打草驚蛇了。 呂正英微微一怔之後，才正容接道：令主說得不錯，但他們縱然知道消息已洩，卻未必會想到湘雲的師父，會向令主傳遞消息的。 水湘雲也連連點首道：令主，正英哥說得對，目前是五霸分立的局面，歐陽泰不會想到我們會暗通消息，這也就是恩師要我改裝易容前來的原因。 朱四娘點首笑道：好，好，這真是三個臭皮匠，勝過一個諸葛亮，我倒不能不暫時留下田斌的狗命了。 微頓話鋒，又向朱亞男沉聲接道：等會，勝男回來時，要她到這兒來。 好的，水湘雲起身告辭道：令主，湘雲任務已完了，就此告辭。 朱四娘含笑接道：不忙，且吃過早點再走 水湘雲截口接道：多謝令主，家師還在外頭等著哩！ 朱四娘只好笑了笑道：亞男、正英，代我送客。 yes. 目送三位年輕人離去之後，朱四娘美目一轉，立即著手匆匆地改扮起來。 朱四娘改扮成一位落拓文士，逕自由後院中越牆而出，以最快的速度，繞向前門。 她此行的目的，就是想看看水湘雲的那位神秘師父，究竟是什麼人。 清晨，又是下雪天，行人稀少，視界遼闊，要找人，那是最方便不過的了。 可是，當朱四娘繞到前門，精目一掃之下，卻不由地使她殊感失望。 因為，水湘雲她是看到了，人已在半里之外，正向江邊走去。可是，視界所及，卻不見第二個人影，那麼，水湘雲的師父，究竟是在什麼地方照顧他的徒弟呢？ 就當朱四娘心頭若的所失，怏怏不快之間，另外兩騎疾馳而來的快馬，更使她火上加油，禁不住長嘆了一聲。 因為那兩騎快馬的馬上人，赫然竟是她的愛女朱勝男和田斌。 這一對年輕人，儘管是冒著漫天風雪，卻是鞭絲鬢影，顯得意興飛揚，談笑甚歡。 由表面上看來，目前這雲夢別府附近，只有這四位人物。 水湘雲緩緩獨行，步向江邊。 朱四娘以一位落拓文士的姿態，和水湘雲保持約莫半里距離，遙遙地追躡著。 朱勝男、田斌那兩騎快馬，卻是沿著江濱大道，疾馳而來。 當水湘雲由小路走上大道時，朱勝男與田斌兩騎快馬，也剛好趕到。 朱勝男一馬當先，振聲怒喝道：混帳東西，明明看到快馬馳來，也不讓一讓。 話聲中，唰地一鞭，向水湘雲兜頭抽了下去。 水湘雲身形微閃，避了開去，她表現得很鎮靜，既沒還手，也沒責問對方為何動手打人，就像根本不曾發生過什麼事似的，越過沿江大道，向江邊走去。 朱勝男咦了一聲，在一串希聿聿的長嘶聲中，兩騎快馬一齊人立而起，在原處剎住。 同時，朱勝男、田斌人也不約而同地，射落水湘雲前面，將其截住。 朱勝男首先揚鞭戟指，連連冷笑道：怪不得膽敢目中無人，原來你的身手，頗為不錯。 水湘雲雖然與七殺令方面的人並非敵對，但對這位朱大小姐，卻是殊無好感。 對一個本來沒有好感的人，在幾乎挨了莫名其妙的一鞭之後，又碰上這種蠻不講理的態度，就是修養功夫再好的人，也會有點忍不住了。 因此，她聞言之後，立即冷冷地接道：多承誇獎！ 田斌插口接道：大小姐，這小子是由咱們雲夢別府而來，顯然是無敵堡方面的奸細。 朱勝男哼了一聲道：不管這廝是什麼東西，現行拿下再說！ yes!恭應聲中，寒芒一閃，圍在腰間的緬刀已經出鞘，戟指水湘雲沉聲喝道：小子，亮兵刃！ 水湘雲冷然一哂道：用不著！ 田斌一怔：你要徒手接我的緬刀？ 水湘雲不答反問道：田大掌門人，咱們算得上井水不犯河水，兩位為何要將我拿下，總該有個理由吧？ 田斌又是一怔道：你認識我？ 水湘雲笑道：堂堂黃山派的掌門人，還怕人家認出你來嗎！ 一頓話鋒，又注目問道：大掌門人，你還沒回答我的問話哩！ 田斌冷然接道：因為，我斷定你是無敵堡的奸細，所以我要拿下你。 水湘雲笑道：奸細二字由你口中說出，你不覺得慚愧嗎？ 田斌臉色一變道：你這話是什麼意思？ 一旁的朱勝男接道：她顯然是在拖時間，等她的幫手趕來。 朱勝男口中說的她的幫手，指的就是正在不疾不徐地趕過來的朱四娘。 朱四娘對於這三個年輕人的談話，可說聽得清清楚楚。 她儘管外表上表現得縱容暇豫地，一派安詳，但她內心卻是惱也不是，怒也不是，她正陷於哭笑不得的窘境之中。 田斌舉目向逐漸逼近的朱四娘瞟了一眼，接問道：那究竟是你的什麼人？ 朱四娘搶著冷笑一聲道：你為什麼不直接問我？ 為了探查水湘雲那位神秘的師父，朱四娘是匆匆改裝趕來，不但未服變音丸，連臉上也幾乎就是她的本來面目。 因此，他這麼一接腔，使得這三位年輕人，一齊大感意外地。循聲投注過去。 朱勝男並首先一聲歡呼道：娘！Oh it's you. 自然，田斌也連忙躬身行禮道：田斌參見令主！ 水湘雲卻向她歉笑了一下道：令主來了正好，湘雲就此告辭。 朱四娘苦笑了一下道：別忙，方才的事，我該向你著重道歉才對。 水湘雲連忙接道：那怎麼敢當，其實，方才湘雲也有不是之處。 朱四娘輕嘆一聲道：湘雲，你不必維護他們，方才的經過，我不但看得很清楚，也聽得很清楚的。 直到這時，朱勝男才向水湘雲說道：你就是水湘雲，為何不早說呢？ 水湘雲神色一整道：大小姐，方才你給過我機會嗎？再說，在方才那種情形之下，縱然我有機會解釋，也鼓不起勇氣來啦！ 這幾句話，可頓時使得朱勝男一張俏臉，窘成了豬肝色，僵在那裏，做聲不得。 朱四娘冷笑一聲道：丫頭，為何不答話！ 朱勝男有點老羞成怒了，她一跺小蠻靴道：娘，你也幫著外人欺負我 朱四娘沉聲喝道：你們兩個，立刻給我滾回去，聽候發落。 水湘雲微顯不安地接道：令主 朱四娘口說道：沒你的事，你還是走吧！ 朱勝男狠狠地瞪了水湘雲一眼，轉向田斌說道：田斌，我們走！ 飛身上馬，雙雙揚鞭疾馳而去。 朱四娘幽幽地嘆了一聲，水湘雲也是輕輕一嘆道：令主，湘雲有幾句很冒昧的話 朱四娘冷然截口道：既是冒昧的話，還是不說的好，你快點走吧！ 水湘雲方自蹙眉苦笑了一下，忽然由江邊傳來一陣蒼勁而又豪邁的歌聲：千山鳥飛絕，萬徑人蹤滅，孤舟蓑笠翁，獨釣寒江雪。 朱四娘循聲投注，歌聲發自箭遠外的江邊，一葉扁舟之上。 那一葉扁舟，停泊在一片枯萎的蘆草叢邊。 一位頭戴竹笠，身披蓑衣，背岸面外的漁翁，正在船頭垂釣。 由於大雪粉飛，地面一片銀白，連那漁翁的竹笠和蓑衣上都是一片白色，因而如非是那漁翁自己吟出那蒼勁而豪邁的歌聲來，可根本不會有人注意到，此刻的江邊，還居然有人在江邊垂釣。 朱四娘入目之下，忽然心中一動地，向水湘雲問道：湘雲，那位釣魚的老人，就是你師父？ 水湘雲正容接道：正是。 朱四娘沉思著接道：你去跟令師稟報一聲，我想同他談談。 水湘雲點點頭，匆匆地向那一葉小舟邊奔了過去。 也不知她向那位老人家說了些什麼，也不過是三兩句話的工夫，又匆匆趕了回來，向著朱四娘歉笑道：令主，很抱歉 朱四娘臉色微變地，截口問道：令師不願見我？ 水湘雲訕然一笑道：不是不願見你，而是時機尚未成熟。 朱四娘注目問道：那要到什麼時候，才算時機成熟呢？ 水湘雲道：這個，湘雲可不知道，但他老人家還說，他老人家要說的話，早就向你說過了。 朱四娘訝然問道：為什麼我自己會不知道呢？ 水湘雲道：令主，他老人家要說的話，也就是周君玉姐姐請二小姐轉告你的話啊！ 朱四娘禁不住苦笑道：哦！It turned out to be the case. 接著，又一整神色道：江山易改，本性難移，我也知道令師是一番好意，但這一番好意，我恐怕只能心領了。 水湘雲蹙眉接道：令主，您這是何苦來？ 朱四娘長嘆一聲道：湘雲，你太年輕了，對於一個歷盡滄桑，飽經憂患中年女人的心境，是沒法理解的。 水湘雲正容接道：可是，令主一意孤行的結果，是有害無益的。 朱四娘哼了一聲道：我不求有益，我所追求的，只是如何發洩我心頭的恨意。 水湘雲正容如故地道：令主，家師很同情您的不幸遭遇，但卻不同意您的這種偏激行為，他老人家也主張報復，也主張血債血還，但卻僅限於當事人。 朱四娘臉一沉道：湘雲，你是在向我說教？ dare not!水湘雲苦笑道：湘雲是轉達家師意旨。 朱四娘冷然接道：我已經說過，這一番好意，我心領了。 水湘雲接道：家師也說過，如果令主不肯接受他老人家的勸告，為了減少殺孽，他老人家將對令主採取釜底抽薪的辦法 朱四娘截口冷笑道：狐狸尾巴終於露出來了。 一頓話鋒，又冷哼一聲道：我倒要問問他，準備如何拆我的台？ 說著，大有立即向江邊撲去之勢。 水湘雲連忙攔在他的身前道：令主，請分清敵友 朱四娘道：你還以朋友自居？ 水湘雲沉聲答道：在我的立場，只要不是敵人，都是朋友。
