Chapter 45 Chapter Forty-fifth

After a slight pause, he shouted again in a deep voice: Hero Murong, please come down and give us a helping hand. Shao Youmei laughed loudly: "Okay." Amidst the words, Ji flew down, swiped his pens, stalked from the side, and hit the black-clothed monster's left shoulder. The weird man in black sneered, and said: Murong Jie, you are too overconfident. With a wave of the long sword, he fought in all directions at night with one move, forcing Shi Tiansong and his three brothers and sisters back three feet, and then recruited the jade belt around their waists, and swept towards Shao Youmei like lightning and thunder.

Although Shao Youmei knew that the opponent was one of his own, he could not show weakness in this first move. He pretended to shout with all his strength, and used the judge's double pen to cross the golden beam in one style and forcefully sealed the frame. Amidst the clatter of gold and iron clanging on the ground, Shao Youmei was so shocked that she took three steps back before standing firmly on the stake. The black-clothed weirdo laughed wildly and said, "We don't seem to be famous when we meet, Murong Jie, how can you teach me to be disappointed?" Amidst the words, the long sword waved in a favorable manner, and with repeated bangs, it forced Shi Tiansong and the other three who were attacking at the same time to take three steps back.

Shao Youmei yelled angrily, swiped his pen and flew forward, Shi Tiansong and the other three also joined forces to attack with their swords, and the five of them immediately started a quick attack. Although the black-clothed monster fought four powerful enemies alone, because Shao Youmei responded with only half of his true strength, although he was not as relaxed as before, he still played both offense and defense, appearing extremely calm. While beating, Shao Youmei asked through voice transmission with Huiguang's heart language: Who is your Excellency? The weird man in black actually replied with Huiguang's heart language: Don't ask me these things for now.

Under the current circumstances, if one uses ordinary zhenqi to communicate with voice, it will inevitably escape the observation of Shi Tiansong and others, but Huiguang Xinyu is one of the best skills in the jade boat martial arts, it is to force the dantian zhenqi out of the nostrils, without using the lips It spreads, and no one else can notice it at all. When Shao Youmei saw that the strange man in black was able to display his wisdom words, it naturally confirmed his conjecture just now on the roof of the Four Seas Hall. Immediately, he immediately answered via voice transmission: Oh!i see you are

The weird man in black hurriedly interrupted and said: Needless to say, you should go to Taohuawu as soon as possible, and it is serious to rescue Lin Zhiqiang. Where is Taohuawu? I don't know either, but you can try to find out. Shao Youmei smiled wryly through voice transmission: Master!You did me a disservice this time, and now, they must have sent a letter to Bailiyuan to change the location. It turned out that this strange man in black was Shao Youmei's master who had no face to see Jiang Dong's elders, that is, the mysterious strange man who rescued Zhou Youmei in the mountain temple of Chaoyun Peak.

Then the weird man in black said through voice transmission: By the way, I am getting more and more confused as I get older. Then, he said with a wry smile via voice transmission: Youmei, what do you think should be done? Shao Youmei said: For the current plan, I have to follow these three little beasts. At the same time, I ask Master to take the trouble to hide nearby and see if I can intercept the transmission, because I believe that their Flying Pigeon transmission is still alive. Not issued. The weird man in black said: Yes!Just do it. Shao Youmei said via voice transmission: Master, you must pretend that you are invincible and get out of the siege as soon as possible.

OK Before the weird man in black finished the sound transmission, Shi Tiansong shouted angrily: "Everyone, if the four of us work together, we still can't deal with this bastard, and the four of us don't have to mess around in the arena anymore." Shao Youmei first echoed: Yes!We can die together, and we can't lose this person. In the voice, the two pens of the judge in his hand, there is a series of rushing attacks like a torrential rain, moreover, they are all desperate moves of giving up defense and dying with the enemy. Shao Youmei's actions to match his bold words also aroused the fighting spirit of Shi Tiansong and the other three, and together they used twelve percent of their true strength to launch a vicious fight that would put them at risk.

Under such a crazy offensive, the black-clothed weirdo seemed to be in a state of exhaustion, but he laughed wildly and said: You four, you are so young, why are you dying? After a slight pause, he continued with a smile: But my old man looks up to heaven and loves the virtues of life, and I don't want to commit more crimes, so I will spare you! The implication is that he has already planned to rub the soles of his feet with oil and slip away! Lu Buwei, who was suffocated and unable to vent all the time, couldn't help shouting angrily after hearing the words: "Old man, can you still go!"

The weird man in black laughed loudly and said: My old man wants to leave. With the four of you, even if you add twice as much, you may not be able to stay. Lu Buwei sneered, and shouted: "Leave your dog's life first, and then let you go!" The weird man in black smiled and said, "Boy, my old man wants to come and see from your side, so you have to be careful!" Before the words fell, there was a clang of gold and iron, and the long sword in Lu Buwei's hand was shaken away. The black-clothed strange man had seized this fleeting opportunity, jumped up quickly, and headed out of the gate. Flying away, there was a series of ear-splitting laughs from his mouth, and he said: "Juniors, please stay with me less!"

Before the words fell, the person had already flown to the archway with the word Shou outside the gate. The underworld heroes headed by Shang Guanxuan leaped towards the gate one after another. But Shi Tiansong shouted loudly: Don't chase after the poor, that's all! At this moment, the black-clothed strange man flew up from the longevity archway, disappeared in the dark night with a flash. Focusing on the disappearing direction of the black-clothed strange figure, Shi Tiansong glanced at Lu Buwei and Guqin and said, "Third brother and fifth sister, do you see any clues?"

Lu Buwei asked blankly: "What's the clue?" This four-round scholar who possesses the four elements of wine, sex, wealth, and spirit, was obviously dazzled by anger, and he didn't even realize it. But Guqin asked back at the same time: "Brother, do you mean the agility displayed by that servant when he was about to leave?" Shi Tiansong nodded and said: "Yes, that's clearly the Tianlong Yufeng movement technique in our sect. Guqin then asked: Big brother thinks he is? Shi Tiansong continued with a solemn face: I think that ninety-nine percent of that guy is a master. Shao Youmei, who was on the side, pretended to be indifferent on the outside, but he was secretly smiling in his heart: Your uncle is standing here Lu Buwei sighed and said: If he is really a master, the somersault we fell is not wronged. Shi Tiansong waved his hand and said, "Let's go back first. We must report this situation to our two mentors immediately." Because of this joint fight against the enemy, Shi Tiansong and the other three had almost completely disappeared their doubts about Shao Youmei, and the distance between the two sides also shortened imperceptibly. What's more, Shi Tiansong specially wins over Shao Youmei, saying that he will try his best to recommend and reuse Shao Youmei in front of his teacher. At the same time, it also specifically explained that the three brothers and sisters will return to Naishi after tomorrow's birthday feast. They hope that Shao Youmei can temporarily stay in Yiyuan for the effect of sitting in town, but this request is politely declined by Shao Youmei. Yes, he said: I'm a hard worker, I can't stay anywhere, and I didn't know that the weird man in black was Shao Youmei, otherwise, he wouldn't have left so easily. Shi Tiansong couldn't help being taken aback and said: So you just hid your secrets? That's not the case.Shao Youmei continued with a wry smile: Lord, the purpose of facing the wall in the next ten years is to avenge the one palm Shao Youmei gave me. If I shake it all out beforehand, what will I use to avenge my shame in the future? Shi Tiansong also smiled bitterly and said: Reasonable, reasonable. Then, he looked around the group of heroes carefully, and said loudly: "Everyone has worked hard. Now, it is not long before dawn. Let's all go back and rest for a while." The next day, Shangguan Xuan's 60th anniversary was celebrated enthusiastically amidst the congratulations of nearly a thousand heroes. When the birthday banquet was in progress, no accidents occurred, and no unexpected news was announced. After the birthday banquet, Shao Youmei excused herself to track down Shao Youmei's whereabouts, first bid farewell to Shi Tiansong and others, and left alone in the dark night. But in fact, he didn't stay away. When he noticed that there was no suspicious person following him, he immediately made a detour to climb up to the Girl Mountain behind Yiyuan, hid himself on an ancient pine tree, and watched the Tianzihao residence condescendingly. Because the distance was too far to see clearly, he only guessed that after a group of evil spirits headed by Shi Tiansong held a secret meeting that lasted half an hour in Shi Tiansong's room, Shi Tiansong and his three brothers and sisters, It was only around the second watch that they left quietly together. Of course, Shao Youmei immediately chased after her from afar, but at this moment, Shao Youmei was no longer the identity of Murong Jie who was judged by the god of life and death, but the attitude of a scholar who studied abroad. The itinerary of Shi Tiansong and the other three was to go southwest, obliquely through the Yunmeng area, from Shishou at the junction of Hunan and Hubei to Huarong in Hunan Province, continue westward, pass Shimen, Cili, Yongshun, Yongsui, and arrive at Chadong . This section of the journey is not too short, and these people are all traveling at a normal speed, so they walked for seven days before arriving at the tea cave at dusk. Of course, during this long journey, no matter how clever Shao Youmei's tracking method is, it will inevitably be noticed by Shi Tiansong and others. But what is surprising is that although they have noticed that someone is secretly following them, they seem to have no fear and do not hide their whereabouts, and they still continue to move forward proudly. This situation, of course, made Shao Youmei slightly puzzled, but what puzzled him even more was that behind him, there were also two groups of mysterious figures following in secret, forming a complicated situation of praying mantis catching cicada, and oriole behind. Among the two groups of people who secretly followed Shao Youmei, the first group were two young beauties, one red and one green, and an old woman in Tsing Yi with white hair like silver. However, they couldn't see the origins of these three mysterious women at all. As for the other group of stalkers, one old and one young, those two have obviously been modified and disguised, and they don't know their origins, let alone the purpose of their stalking. Of course, with Shao Youmei's skills, no matter whether the two groups of people who were following secretly came for him or not, and no matter how advanced their martial arts were, he would not be afraid. But what makes him feel a little uneasy is that on the eve of his leaving Yiyuan, because the incident turned out to be too unexpected, he has never obtained the method of contacting Naishi who had appeared in a flash. Although he deeply understands Nai Shi's ambivalence, he is ashamed of his beloved disciple and hates Bailiyuan and his wife, so even if he wants to contact Nai Shi, Nai Shi will definitely not accept it, and can only do so in Assisting him secretly, but considering the current situation, facing a strong enemy, the two of us are going to risk alone, which not only reduces the strength of our own side, but also easily gives the enemy a chance to break through. This is a big deal Not cost-effective. In addition, before he left, he asked Liu Rumei to go to his wife's place, and asked his eighth junior brother Bai Wenshan to come to meet him later. Calculating the date, Bai Wenshan should also catch up, but in fact there was no news, could it be What happened to Liu Rumei on the way? As for asking Naishi to intercept the carrier pigeon sent by Yiyuan, it is even more related to the success or failure of the trip, but he has no way of knowing the result. These random questions have been lingering in his mind all the time, so although his itinerary to follow up on this trip can be considered quite smooth, his mood is not necessarily so relaxed. This mood became even more heavy when he entered Chadong Town. As we all know, although Chadong is a small mountainous town, the market is quite prosperous because it is located at the junction of Sichuan, Hunan, and Guizhou provinces, and because it is the junction of the three provinces, it has formed an area that the government does not care about. , generally criminals and the like, flock to it as a paradise in the world, thus increasing its prosperity and complexity. Shi Tiansong and the other three stayed in the No. 1 Gaosheng Inn in Chadong Town, but Shao Youmei went to the Yuelai Inn about five feet away across the street from the Gaosheng Inn. In a Xinglong restaurant next to the inn. Shao Youmei specially chose a room on the second floor, from the window you can see the gate of Gaosheng Inn from a distance. Everything was set up, and after dinner, he immediately turned off the lights and went to bed, but in fact he was sitting quietly in front of the window, monitoring the movement at the gate of the Gaosheng Inn, and at the same time, he was listening to the Kungfu with the sky and the earth, silently observing the situation in the Xinglong Pavilion next door. , the conversation of the other two groups of mysterious figures. Old man, how far do we have to go? This is the young people among the other two groups of mysterious people, one old and one young, asking questions. I only heard the old one, sighing softly: It won't be too far away, child, stop talking and rest early That young man was really obedient, and he didn't ask any more questions, but Shao Youmei was quite disappointed in this situation, because he heard part of the conversation, but this kind of far-fetched talk was not easy to hear. It's like I didn't hear it. Just when he stopped talking because of the other party, and his eyebrows furrowed, the conversation in another room was clearly transmitted: Second sister, eat less, okay, if you eat too much, you will get fat, too fat , I won't be able to get married in the future! Along the way, Shao Youmei has been able to distinguish who is speaking from the accent of the other party. The one who is talking now is the girl in red among the two girls, Shao Youmei's spirit is lifted up, only to hear the girl in green say unyieldingly: I won't come, the elder sister will only make fun of me. The old woman in Tsing Yi sighed and said: Shuangwen, don't make fun of her, eat more once in a while, she won't get fat. The girl in green said with a smile: Grandma still loves me the most. The old woman in Tsing Yi sighed faintly: In this world, is there anyone who loves you more than grandma? correct.The girl in red also sighed softly: Even Niang is so indifferent to us The voice of the girl in green continued: Mother only cares about that surname, and once she forced me to call him daddy! The girl in green obviously still had food in her mouth, and she spoke vaguely. The girl in red said with a smile: "Look at how you eat, second sister, can't you talk about it after eating?" The voice of the old woman in Tsing Yi then asked: Shuangcheng, did you call at that time? The girl in green snorted and said: I don't! The voice of the girl in red continued: I hate seeing his lustful death. The old woman in Tsing Yi sighed meaningfully, but didn't answer. The voice of the girl in green asked: "Grandma, these days, haven't you realized who is the person we are ordered to deal with?" The voice of the old woman in Tsing Yi said: I can see it, but I haven't taken any action yet. The voices of the two girls asked almost simultaneously: Who is that?Why? The voice of the old woman in Tsing Yi said: "Who is it, you don't have to ask for the time being. As for why, this question is really a long story." The voice of the girl in green continued: "Grandma, can you speak simply!" The old woman in Tsing Yi seemed to have pondered for a while, then sighed softly and said: Son, you two, tell me, the man named Baili, except for your mother who likes him very much, which one of us is right up and down the Changchun Valley? He had a crush? The girl in red sighed softly: If father was still alive, such a thing would not have happened. The voice of the old woman in Tsing Yi continued: "Although grandma has not been in the rivers and lakes for many years, I don't know who Bailiyuan is, but I am confident that I can tell at a glance that he is definitely not a good person. The girl in green asked in surprise, "Grandma, doesn't it mean that my mother doesn't know about this situation?" The voice of the old woman in Tsing Yi said: She knows. Now that I know.The girl in green then asked: Then why does her old man still like that fellow? The old woman in Tsing Yi let out a long sigh: Evil!This is evil, child, you are still young and don't understand these things, so don't say it! Hearing this, Shao Youmei couldn't help but let out a deep sigh! The voice of the girl in green then asked: Then, shall we do what mother said? The voice of the old woman in Tsing Yi said: It is necessary to do it, but how to implement it, grandma is still deliberating. The voice of the girl in green then asked: Why is that? The voice of the old woman in Tsing Yi said: "The emerald boat is the treasure of your Xu family, and it should be taken back by us, but Bailiyuan's one-sided words may not be reliable, so we have to think more about the technology of taking it back." Hearing this, Shao Youmei has learned that these three mysterious figures are from the Xu family in Changchun Valley. The two girls, the eldest sister is named Xu Shuangwen, and the second sister is Xu Shuangcheng. This character, the current attitude towards him is still between friend and foe. If he handles it properly, he may turn the enemy into a friend. In addition, as to where the Changchun Valley is, why the emerald boat belongs to the Xu family, and how Bailiyuan hooked up with the wife of the Xu family, etc., it is still a mystery. Just as he was thinking about it, he heard another respectful voice say: "Old Madam, there is a Mr. Lu asking to see you outside." The so-called Mr. Lu refers to Lu Buwei, a scholar of the Four Great Talents. When Lu Buwei left the Gaosheng Inn, Shao Youmei had already seen him. Now that he came here, Shao Youmei didn't think it was different. Just listen to Xu Shuangwen said: "You said that we are already asleep and we don't see any guests." Xu Shuangcheng also said almost at the same time: This person surnamed Lu is more annoying than his master. But the old woman in Tsing Yi stopped them and said: Miss, don't talk nonsense, you two, go to the room to avoid it. Then, the messenger outside the door, who was obviously the waiter in the shop, raised his voice and said: Tell me, I am sorry to invite you. Shao Youmei couldn't help thinking to herself: No wonder these three little beasts are so confident and not afraid of being followed, so they have such a powerful backer While thinking about it, Lu Buwei said with a flattering smile: Xiao Ke sees the old lady. Don't dare to be!The tone of the old woman in Tsing Yi was obviously a bit impolite: Lu Lingzhu came here at night, do you have any advice? Lu Buwei's voice was as flattering and authentic as ever: Xiao Ke came here to pay his respects to the old lady, and by the way, ask the old lady, when and where are we going to attack that guy? The old woman in Tsing Yi asked in amazement: Lu Lingzhu, who do you want to attack? Lu Buwei's voice said: "It's the person who followed us. At present, one lives in the Yuelai Inn, and the other two live in this inn. They The old woman in Tsing Yi continued: "Yangguan Avenue, you and I can walk, so can others, how can you conclude that they are following us?"Even if your judgment is good, how can my old lady take the liberty to do it if he doesn't take any action? This preemptive meal made Lu Buwei pick up the conversation after a while, and Shao Youmei, who was secretly eavesdropping, even said that he was very happy. After a few moments, Lu Buwei asked hesitantly: "Old madam, the two Xu girls?" The old woman in Tsing Yi quickly answered, "I'm already asleep." After a pause, he continued indifferently: Lord Lu should go back and rest early! The old woman in Tsing Yi has already issued the order to drive away, but Lu Buwei still refused to leave, and continued with a flattering smile: "Old lady, I am almost approaching the destination. If you lure the enemy away, it will be very difficult." The voice of the old woman in Tsing Yi continued coldly: I have my own arrangements, and I will make a decision after seeing the Lingshi. Lu Buwei seemed taken aback and said: "No, old lady, if the enemy is led to the destination, the master's plan will be in vain." The old woman in Tsing Yi then asked, "What important plan does your teacher have?" This Lu Buwei's voice continued hesitantly: Xiao Ke is not too clear. The old woman in Tsing Yi sneered and said: "We seem to be in harmony with each other, so why are we talking about sincere cooperation?" Then, he continued solemnly: To tell you the truth, I only know that I was ordered to take back the emerald ship, the treasure of the Zhenpai, and I don't care about other matters. Lu Buwei said: But the emerald boat is on that fellow! How do you see it?The old woman in Tsing Yi asked coldly: "Who are you referring to by that guy?" Lu Buwei murmured: "Old lady, the emerald boat is in their hands, it's what my teacher told me. As for who that guy is, Xiao Ke means, either the two who live in this inn, or the one who lives in the Yuelai inn." . In your imagination, is that your uncle? Yes, maybe my second uncle is also here. All three of those you suspect? Yes. The voice of the old woman in Tsing Yi snorted and said: Since we are from the same sect, why do brothers fight against each other? Lu Buwei said naively: "It's not convenient to talk about this little cocoa." The old woman in Tsing Yi sneered and said: I am too lazy to ask, let me think about it, please! Lu Buwei touched the ashes on the nose, and after leaving, Xu Shuangcheng's charming smile came from the room and said: Happy!Have fun!Grandma, I really want to slap him twice when I see that pair of lustful peach blossom eyes surnamed Lu. Xu Shuangwen sighed lightly: "Grandma, the inside story is not simple. I'm afraid our task will not be easy to complete." The old woman in Tsing Yi interrupted and said: Our principle is not to cause trouble, and we are not afraid of trouble, no matter how complicated it is, and no matter how difficult it is, as long as you two are willing to listen to me, don't act rashly. The two girls responded coquettishly, and said: We must listen to grandma. alright.The old woman in Tsing Yi continued: "Go back to your room and rest, and we will talk about everything when we arrive at the place." This conversation made Shao Youmei, who was eavesdropping secretly, joyful at one point and worried at the other, and couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion. The good news is that these three imaginary powerful enemies are obviously not members of the underworld, and their attitudes are between friends and enemies. What's worrying is that the emerald ship is really in his hands, and the original owner appears halfway in front of him, but it's really not easy to deal with. What moved him a lot was the origin of the emerald ship. Naishi only said that he got it by chance, but judging from the information he has obtained so far, the inside story is by no means so simple. , the problem is even more difficult! While he was meditating silently, four fast horses came galloping in front of the inn suddenly, and after a burst of neighing, a vigorous voice said: Let's stay at this one! Another hoarse voice continued: According to the schedule, our three young commanders should also arrive here.
