Four men in full costumes stood side by side, blocking the way! If there were strong men in the cottage on the underworld, there would not be only four. Could it be that in this dark pine forest, there are still a large number of people ambushing secretly?If you are a small thief who cuts the diameter, if you see such a huge bodyguard team, you will run away for fear of not being able to make it, how dare you block the way with such a pretentious appearance?Could it be that he is a martial arts master, coming for him? He looked at the four of them attentively: the one on the far left was short and sharp, with a sharp chin, holding a pair of Emei steel thorns in both hands.The second one is tall and fat, like an iron tower placed on the ground, and there is a big stone tablet in front of him. On the tablet, it is written that the tomb of King Chengben of the Huangfu was first tested. This is a tombstone. What is the purpose of the former?Huang Chengben?I never heard that there is such a senior master in Jianghu!The third one is of medium build, fair-skinned, if not for a pair of teeth protruding an inch and a nose sunken half an inch, he would be a handsome man. He is holding a pair of meteor hammers.The one on the far right is a middle-aged man with the appearance of a sick man, dressed in ragged clothes, biting a dry tobacco pipe, his eyes open and closed, and smoke is slowly puffing out from his mouth. See it.

That's all for the three of them, this sick man must be a formidable enemy with profound internal skills.In an instant, many anecdotes and stories in the Jianghu came to my mind: a white-haired mother-in-law killed five bodyguards empty-handed and robbed a bodyguard; level, suddenly disappeared; a beautiful girl defeated Zhang Daquan, who had been famous for more than 20 years in Datong Mansion in northern Shanxi Showing off, showing off is not real. Seeing this sick man with his eyes closed and smoking, the Chief Escort of Xi'an Prefectural Weixin Escort Bureau, Tiebian Town Bafang Zhou Weixin couldn't help hesitating deeply, and reached out his hand involuntarily to touch the burden on his back.

His dart has a total of one hundred thousand taels of silver, and it was entrusted by Wang Derong, a great salt merchant in Xi'an Prefecture.The amount of 100,000 taels of silver is indeed not small, but in the past, the bodyguards of the Prestige Escort Bureau had secured 200,000 taels of silver, and 400,000 taels of silver, so gold and silver property are nothing.Ever since he left Xi'an, all he cared about was the two knives hidden on his back, and what he heard that night in the Sichuan-Shanxi Governor's Mansion. It was Mr. Liu Yuyi, Governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi who was talking to him.Although Zhou Weixin is well-known in the Jianghu, the biggest government he has ever seen in his life is only the lord of the government. This time he was actually received by the governor in person, so he would be flattered, trembling and restless.

Mr. Liu's words have been replayed hundreds of times in his mind: Biaotou Zhou, this pair of knives are called Yuanyang knives, they are really important, you should take them seriously.When I was still in Baylor today, I had already sent my cronies to search everywhere.After taking over the throne, he issued a secret decree, ordering the governors of eighteen provinces in the world to investigate and visit.It was very easy to catch the owner of the Mandarin Duck Saber, but the pair of treasured swords were hidden by those two scoundrels. No matter how much we scouted, they never came to fruition. Fortunately, my ancestors had accumulated virtue and entrusted the emperor's blessing, so I finally got it for me.Hehe, your prestige bodyguards are fairly reliable, and now they are sending you to escort this pair of mandarin ducks and swords to Beijing, and you are not allowed to leak any news on the way.You delivered the treasured sword safely to Beijing, and you will naturally be rewarded a lot when you come back.

The name of the Mandarin Duck Saber, he had heard from his master a long time ago: the Mandarin Duck Saber is one short and the other long, the great secret of martial arts is hidden in the sword, and those who get it are invincible in the world.The five words "invincible in the world" are exactly the greatest wish that every martial arts student dreams of.Zhou Weixin heard it at the time, and thought that this was just talk. Is there any mandarin duck knife in the world that hides an invincible secret?Unexpectedly, Mr. Liu, Governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, actually got the Yuanyang Saber, and sent him to escort him to Beijing to present it to the emperor.The pair of knives were tightly wrapped in yellow cloth and sealed with the governor's seal of seal.Of course he really wants to see the appearance of the precious sword. If he is lucky enough to learn the secret of the sword, the town of iron whips will become iron whips covering the world. ?Escort Zhou counted back and forth, but his total number was only one head.

The governor sent four trusted guards to act as bodyguards to accompany him in his bodyguard team, which can be said to be assistance or surveillance.The day before the bodyguard team set off, the Governor's Mansion sent a few more Ghoshhas to invite his family of twelve to the barracks of the garrison, saying that after the head of the bodyguard Zhou went to Beijing, there was no one at home. The caretaker was afraid that he would be worried, so he took his family members to resettle him.Zhou Weixin has been walking in the rivers and lakes for a long time, how can he not know the festivals in it?It wasn't because Chief Zhou was worried about his family, but Mr. Liu was worried about this pair of precious swords, so he arrested his old mother, wife, concubine and children as hostages.If the pair of mandarin duck knives have any mishaps in the way, and your head is separated from your body, then you don't have to be polite, and the whole family doesn't have to live.He has experienced many storms in his life, he has been in the limelight, he has been in the nails, he has been a hero, he has been a bear, he has cut off other people's heads, and he has not had his own head cut off. He is considered a well-informed man. I'm old, but I've never been as surprised and happy as I was this time, and my mind is restless.If the treasured sword arrived in Beijing safely, Mr. Liu once promised a great reward. Naturally, it is a gentleman who said something, and he whipped the horse quickly. Maybe the emperor liked it and rewarded him with an official position. Grand Master Zhou.

The distance from Xi'an to Beijing is not far, and it is not close. There are at least thirty or forty large and small cottages along the way.Ordinary people in the underworld, he may not take it seriously if he suppresses Bafang with an iron whip. , How many martial arts masters will be jealous?So he revealed the salt bodyguard and concealed the treasured sword.Even if the darts and silver misses, as long as the sword arrives in Beijing, it will be fine.As soon as he became a Shangguan, Grandpa Zhou sat facing out in the courtroom, making money and making treasures, and he was afraid that he would not be able to pay back a hundred thousand taels of silver?Besides, the old man can only ask for money, how can he pay for it?

Zhou Weixin pressed the iron whip around his waist with his left hand, stared at the four men in front of him, finally coughed, clasped his fists and said: I'm in an expensive place, I didn't come to say hello to my friends, I'm a little rude, I have to ask my good friends to forgive me .I made up my mind: it would be best if I didn't use my hands, otherwise that consumptive ghost would be a bit difficult to fight!There is a saying on the rivers and lakes: Beware of the world, it is difficult to move an inch if you are reckless.All I could hear was the sick man pressing his chest with his left hand and coughing.

The short and thin man flicked his eyebrows, and said in a soft voice: "Kowtow for peace is unnecessary."What baby are you protecting, leave it to us!Zhou Weixin was startled, and thought: When the bodyguard car set off, even my most trusted bodyguard only knew that what I was protecting was silver, how could this person know that what I was protecting was treasure?There is a saying in Jianghu: "The good ones don't come, and the ones who come are not good."Really have to be careful.He clasped his fists and said again: Please forgive me for being unfamiliar, I want to ask Wan'er, my four good friends, for advice.

The thin man said: You go ahead.Zhou Weidao: My surname is Zhou and my name is Weixin. My friends in Jianghu gave me a nickname, Iron Whip Town Bafang.The sick man sneered and said: Hey, this nickname is all right, but the word town has to be changed to worship.The thin man was startled, and said: "Change it to worship?"Well, the surname is Zhou, my elder brother changed your gang name to you, and it's called Iron Whip Worshiping Eight Fangs!My elder brother knows things like a god, and his words are reasonable.After all, the four men laughed together. Zhou Wei thought confidently: There is a saying in Jianghu: If you endure for a while, you can avoid a hundred days of disaster.He suppressed his anger at the moment and said, "I made fun of you!"Are the four heroes along the way?Open a mountain and set up a cabinet in that treasure mountain?Who is the master at the helm?The skinny man pointed to the sick man and said, "Okay, it's okay to tell you, just be careful not to freak out."Our eldest brother is Yanxia Shenlong Xiaoyaozi, the second brother is Chang Changfeng who opened the stele with two palms, the third brother is shooting stars and chasing moonflowers and sword shadows, and the next ones are Babu Chasing Toads, Sai Zhuanzhu, Treading Snow Wuhen, Flying on Water with One Foot, Two The seven provinces of crappie cover Yiming!

Zhou Weixin became more and more amazed as he listened, thinking: Why is this person's nickname so long-winded!The thin man said again: "Our four brothers are loyal to Jinlan. They are chivalrous and righteous. They specialize in hoeing the strong and helping the weak, robbing the rich and helping the poor. People in the world call them the Four Heroes of Taiyue!"Zhou Wei thought confidently: Listening to the nicknames of these four people, I think that this skinny man has great lightness kung fu, that strong man has a strong palm, this white-faced man has a unique skill in meteor hammer, and that Yanxia Shenlong Xiaoyaozi is more like a martial arts senior. , The identity of an outsider.Although I have never heard of the names of the Four Heroes of Taiyue, I must be ignorant and ignorant of capable people.Since it can be called a chivalrous character, it must be no small matter.There is a saying in the rivers and lakes: It is better not to be illiterate than to be illiterate.He clasped his fists and said, "Long admiration, long admiration!"My Escort has never had a feud with the Four Heroes, so please make way, and I will pay my respects and thank you sincerely in the future. Gai Yiming struck with two thorns, jingling, and said: "It's not difficult to get out of the way, we don't want your dart money, we just need to borrow one or two treasures, that's fine."Zhou Wei said: What treasure?Gai Yiming said: Hehe, it's amazing that you asked me.You don't know it yourself, how can I know? Hearing this, Zhou Weixin knew that today's affairs would be difficult to deal with. The Four Heroes of Taiyue came here for the pair of mandarin duck knives on their backs, thinking: There is a saying in the Jianghu: If you don't do it with mercy, you will not do it with mercy. .The four of them would definitely kill if they made a move.Then he slowly pulled out his double whips, and said: "Since the four of you are determined to teach me, but you are not respectful, I will teach you the brilliant moves of the four heroes of Taiyue. Which one will go first?"He turned his head and waved, and the five bodyguards and the four guards of the governor's mansion approached together.Zhou Weixin said in a low voice: To deal with these green forest thieves, you don't need to talk about the rules of the rivers and lakes, let's all rush forward.There is a saying in the rivers and lakes: As long as there are many people, the archway can be carried across the river.But I have another idea in my heart: Let them fight the Four Heroes, but I will take the road, and escorting Yuanyangdao to Beijing is the best strategy.There is a saying in the rivers and lakes: If you fight each other, you will go to the east and west. Gai Yiming said: "Big Escort, I am Gai Qisheng with double thorns, Doudou worships all directions with your iron whip."Our brother beats two and one is up and down, all kinds of meat and eight vegetarians!As he said that, he shook his body and rushed forward.Zhou Weixin didn't get off his horse, he raised his iron whip to block him, and used a stance of "Taoyuan Seizes Lance", stabbing him at the outer door, clamping his legs, and galloping out on horseback.Gai Yiming yelled: Good fellow, the head of the bodyguard is going to piss off!Zhou Weixin turned his head and shouted: "I'll go outside the forest to see if there is still an ambush!"As he spoke, he galloped out on his horse.Hua Jianying's meteor hammer flew out, hitting his back directly.Zhou Weixin swung his left whip backwards, making a move to rush into the three strongholds at night, and with a bang, he swung the meteor hammer back. He and Hua Gai exchanged swords, and felt that their moves were not very subtle, and their internal strength seemed mediocre. When he turned his head, he saw that Xiaoyaozi was still leaning on the tree, holding a dry pipe, looking at the crowd. The bodyguards surrounded the three heroes of Taiyue in Gaixin, but they did not show any emotion.Zhou Wei was startled in confidence: Wait for that person to make a move, and I will be unable to escape after a while.There is a saying in the rivers and lakes: Don't leave on a sunny day, don't wait for the rain to drench your head.He returned and poked the iron whip on the horse's buttocks, and the horse ran wildly. There was a loud bang, someone let out a loud fart, and the fart was his own.There is a saying in Jianghu: Loud farts don't stink, and stinky farts don't sound loud.This is reasonable, the fart really doesn't stink, so it didn't make the enemy Xiaoyaozi run away. In a blink of an eye, Xiaoyaozi raised his right hand and shouted: "Look at the dart!"There was a sound of wind blowing beside him, and a dark hidden weapon hit him.Zhou Weixin raised his whip to block it, and with a snap, the hidden weapon actually stuck to the steel whip and did not fly away.He was even more surprised: this Xiaoyaozi is indeed a master, even the hidden weapons he uses are quite different.There is a saying in the rivers and lakes: when an expert stretches out his hand, he will know if there is one.At this time, the mount didn't stop at all, and ran out of the woods.Zhou Weixin saw that no one was chasing after him, so he gathered himself together, when he looked at the hidden weapon stuck on the steel whip, it turned out to be a broken shoe covered with mud, the mud was so wet and greasy, it stuck to the whip and did not fall off. He was even more surprised, and thought: Martial arts masters can hurt people by flying flowers and picking leaves. His broken shoe flew here and didn't hurt my life, so it was considered merciful.I couldn't make up my mind for a while, whether I should gallop the horse or wait for changes.Suddenly, someone in the forest yelled like a pig being slaughtered, and then there was silence, and the sound of weapons clashing stopped.Zhou Weixin was puzzled: Could it be that in this instant, all the bodyguards and the four guards were murdered by the four heroes of Taiyue? Suddenly a person shouted loudly: "The Chief Escort, the Chief Escort's accent is Zhang Escort."Zhou Weixin touched the bag with the Yuanyang Saber on his back, but he refused.Xindao: There is a saying in the rivers and lakes: If you want to be refined, listen to it; stand far away and see clearly.After a while, someone shouted again: "Come back quickly, Chief Escort!"The thief ran away, let us drive away. Zhou Weixin was startled, and thought: That's so easy.He pulled the rein of the horse and circled the horse's head, and saw a trooper running out of the forest, shouting joyfully: Chief Escort, the idea is gone, the pus is tight, it's useless.Zhou Weixin was full of surprises and said, "Really?Qu Zishou said: "Everyone swarms up to meet the enemy bravely."The tuberculosis ghost gave Zhang Escort a knife, chopped his shoulders and head with flowers, and the four of them ran away.Seeing the truth, Zhou Weixin was overjoyed, he rode his horse back into the forest, and said: There are a dozen or so people lying in ambush outside the forest, chase them down for a while, they all escaped!When telling this lie, he couldn't help but blushed a little on his face, and thought: There is a saying in Jianghu: A thief is guilty, and a fart blush.I have to calm down so that no one will see my flaws. Escort Zhang raised his single saber and said triumphantly: "The Four Heroes of Taiyue, it turns out they are bragging about it!"All the bodyguards and guards laughed loudly.Zhou Weixin looked at the tombstone erected on the ground, but he didn't know why.Suddenly, I heard a groaning sound from behind the forest.Zhou Wei said: It's the idea of ​​being injured!The crowd rushed over like a gust of wind.It was heard that the groaning sound came from a bush of thorns, and dozens of people scattered in all directions, surrounding the bush.Zhou Weixin shouted: "Little thief, come out quickly!"The groaning in the thorn bushes was even louder.Zhou Weixin raised his right hand, and with a snap, an arrow shot in.The man inside let out a scream, which indicated that he had been hit by an arrow. The two riders cheered in unison: hit!The head of the dart is good at arrows!He rushed in with a knife and dragged the man out.When everyone saw it, they looked at each other in blank dismay, silent. It turned out that the man was Wang Yanshang, the fat man who escorted the bodyguard, his clothes were torn to pieces by the thorns.There is a saying in Jianghu: out of ten fat people, nine are rich, I am afraid that the fat people have no buttocks.This big fat man, Wang Yanshang, does have a butt, but there is a throwing arrow sticking out of his butt! The Four Heroes of Taiyue hid in the dense forest, and they came out when they saw the prestige bodyguards walking far away.Hua Jianying tore off a piece of the skirt, and wrapped Xiaoyaozi around the knife wound on his shoulder.Chang Changfeng said: Brother, are you okay?Xiaoyaozi said: It's okay, it's okay!Our heroes are no match for many people, so it's nothing.Hua Jianying said: I said earlier that the enemy is powerful and not aggressive, but the second brother insisted on going out, so tired that the elder brother was injured.Gai Yiming said: "This group of muddleheaded people are so confused, they have heard that our Taiyue Four Heroes won't give up their famous names, so what can we do?"Xiaoyaozi said: "It's no wonder the second brother. If you want to rob the baby, you have to find the escort."Chang Changfeng said: What is the best way to live now?We are empty-handed, and we can never meet people. Gai Yiming said: "It's not too late according to what I said, suddenly I heard the sound of footsteps outside the forest, someone came rushing from south to north.Gai Yiming looked with his head, raised his drooping eyebrows, and said: There are two people here!This time, the two of us serve one, and discipline these two fat sheep so they can't go away!Chang Changfeng said: Yes!Anyway, I have to get him dozens of taels of silver!He picked up the tombstone and held it in his hands.It turned out that he was nicknamed Opening the Stele with Two Palms, so he used the tombstone as a weapon, relying on his strength, he picked up the big stone tablet and smashed it head-on, often scaring away the enemies.As for who owns the tombstone, it doesn't stick to one pattern, just hold the tombstone by hand, it seems that the dead person is unlucky, he didn't accumulate virtue after death, and bumped into his old man.At that moment, the four of them made gestures and hid behind the big tree respectively. The two ran into the woods, one behind the other.The man in front was a man of twenty-seven or eighteen years old, holding a single sword in his hand, and shouting loudly: "Thieves, mother-in-law, are you really going to kill someone if you are so tyrannical?"The four heroes of Taiyue were stunned, seeing that the person chasing after him was a young woman.The woman carried a baby on her back and held a slingshot in her hand. There was a sound, and the volleyball shot towards the strong man.The strong man swung his single saber left and right, but he didn't dare to turn around and slash. Seeing a man and a woman fighting each other, Xiaoyaozi shouted, "Who is it?"Why do it?Gai Yi blew the whistle, and the four of them rushed out from behind the big tree, shouting: "Quickly stop."The strong man rushed forward, turned around and cursed: "Brother-in-law, you are so vicious, I will attack you mercilessly!"The young woman scolded: "You dog thief!"If I don't beat you to death today, I, Ren Feiyan, swear not to be human. At this moment, the Four Heroes of Taiyue stopped in front of the strong man.The young woman Ren Feiyan shouted: Lin Yulong, why don't you stop for me?Lin Yulong shouted to Chang Changfeng who was standing in front of him: Get out of the way!He lowered his head and moved away from a projectile shot from behind, only to hear an ouch, and the projectile just hit Chang Changfeng's nose.Chang Changfeng was furious and scolded: "Stinky bitch!You hit me!Ren Feiyan said: So what if I hit you?With two clicks, two projectiles were aimed at him and fired.Chang Changfeng held up the tombstone and blocked the gap. Two projectiles hit his chest and his arm. his toes. Gai Yiming and Hua Jianying saw that the second brother was at a disadvantage, they all rushed towards Ren Feiyan.Ren Feiyan pulled the slingshot and fired a burst of bullets.Gai Yiming's eyebrows flicked, but Hua Jianying's front tooth was knocked out.Gai Yiming yelled: The wind is tight!The wind is tight!Do you want to talk about it! Ren Feiyan let the four of them stop him like this, seeing Lin Yulong running out of the woods without looking back, she was furious in her heart, and hurriedly rushed out, with the sound of "turning back" and a flick, knocking the pipe in Xiaoyaozi's hand to the ground land.This bullet is strong in hand and extremely accurate, it is the famous horse-returning bullet in slingshot.Ren Feiyan smiled slightly, turned her head and scolded: Lin Yulong, you stinky thief, don't stop for me.I could only hear Lin Yulong shouting from afar: If you have the guts, you can fight your uncle for 300 rounds with real swords and guns, and use a slingshot to drive people away, what kind of skill is that? Hearing the two scolding further and further away, they chased northward.Hua Jianying said: Brother, who are Lin Yulong and Ren Feiyan?Xiaoyaozi pondered and said: "Lin Yulong is good at using a single sword, and that woman Ren Feiyan must be a master at using a slingshot."Gai Yiming said: "Brother predicts things like a god, and what he said makes sense."Hua Jianying said: "This young woman is not bad in appearance, I think the Lin surname fell in love with her, intending to rape her."Xiaoyaozi said: "Exactly. I think we Taiyue Four Heroes are chivalrous and righteous. We love to fight against injustice. If we bump into Lin Yulong in the future, we must give him a hard time."Chang Changfeng said: "Maybe Lin and Ren have revenge for killing their father, and they don't know who is right.Damn, this pain in my foot.As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to caress his feet.Xiaoyaozi said sternly: "The man surnamed Lin has a fleshy face, and he can tell that he is not a good person at first sight."Although the woman surnamed Ren made a reckless attack, but judging by her martial arts, she must belong to a well-known family.Gai Yiming said: "Brother predicts things like a god, and what he said makes sense." Chang Changfeng was still waiting to refute, when he suddenly heard someone from Lin Wai chanting in a long voice: "The gold is exhausted, bankrupt yesterday and now poor, why is my husband so proud?"It's better to burn off the head scarf. With the sound of chanting, a young scholar waving a folding fan in his hand, slowly walked into the forest, followed by a school boy, carrying a load of luggage. Hua Jianying was holding a fallen front tooth between her fingers, she was not in a good mood, when she saw the scholar strolling to enjoy herself, she was still groaning, only heard him talking about gold and silver, and immediately asked Gai Yiming to send him With a wink, he jumped forward and shouted: "Scholar Wu, what are you talking about here?"The noisy uncles are dizzy, so pay them quickly. The scholar was taken aback when he saw the situation of the four people, and asked: "My dear brother, what do you want to pay for?"Gai Yiming said: Sorry for the dizziness of the four of us.One hundred taels of silver per person, a total of four hundred taels!The scholar stuck out his tongue and said: so expensive?Even if the current emperor has a headache, he doesn't need so much money to treat it.Gai Yiming said: "What kind of thing is the old emperor?"You compare us to the emperor, you are really bold, this time it will not work, the four hundred taels will have to be doubled, and the total is eight hundred taels.The scholar said: My dear brother is more honorable than the emperor, it is really admirable.May I ask my dear friend's name and name, what is the background.Gai Yiming said: Hehe, my surname is Gai Yiming, people in the world call him Babu Chachan, Sai Zhuanzhu, Treading Xue Wuhen, Flying on Water with One Foot, and Gai Qisheng with Double Spikes.Ranked fourth among the Taiyue Four Heroes.The scholar cupped his hands and said, "Long admiration, long admiration."He said to Hua Jianying: "Where is this dear friend?" Hua Jianying frowned, said: "Who has time to call you brothers and sisters?"Pushing away the bookboy, he picked up the basket he had picked up and weighed it. He felt heavy in his hands. He was overjoyed, and when he opened the basket to look, he couldn't help gasping for air. It turned out that the basket was full of old books.Chang Changfeng shouted: Bah!It's all rubbish.The scholar hurriedly said: "My dear brother, this is wrong!"How can a book of sages be said to be trash?There is a saying that there is a golden house in the book.Chang Changfeng said: Is there gold in the book?These broken books cost a penny and a catty, and no one wants them.At this time, Gai Yiming had already opened the luggage at the other end of the pole. Apart from the quilts and clothes, there were also a few old books, but nothing of value.The Four Heroes of Taiyue were very disappointed. The scholar said: "I was studying to find my mother in the lower reaches, and I met four dear brothers. How lucky is it?"The four so-called Taiyue Four Heroes must have helped the poor and the needy, and they were chivalrous and righteous, and they were well-known in the world.Xiaoyaozi said: "These few words of yours are pretty good."The scholar said: "To see Yingxia today is really a blessing for three lives."There happens to be an embarrassment in front of me, and I want to ask four heroes to draw their swords and give them a helping hand.Xiaoyaozi said: This is easy!As chivalrous men, if we don't reach out when we see others in trouble, then we will be called chivalrous men in vain.The scholar bowed again and again to thank him.Gai Yiming said: Who on earth bullied you?The scholar said, "I'm ashamed to say this. I'm afraid the four brothers will laugh at me."Hua Jianying suddenly realized, and said: Ah, it turns out that your sister was born beautiful and was snatched away by bullies.The scholar shook his head and said: No, I don't have a girl.Gai Yiming applauded and said: Well, it must be some local tyrant or corrupt official who forcibly took your wife.The scholar shook his head and said: "Not really."I'm not married yet, how can I have a wife?Chang Changfeng became anxious, and said loudly: "What's the matter?"Tell me quickly.The scholar said: "Just say it, don't be offended by the four heroes." Although the Four Heroes of Taiyue call themselves the Four Heroes, they have never been called so respectfully in the Jianghu and in the martial arts world. At this time, listening to the scholar's words show such respect for themselves, everyone is very excited. He straightened his chest and said in unison: "Say it quickly, if there is any embarrassment, the four heroes of Taiyue will definitely take care of it for you."The scholar bowed in circles and said: wandering in the rivers and lakes, traveling through expensive lands, shy and shy, with all the gold at the head of the bed, I can only beg the four heroes of Taiyue to help me with dozens of taels of silver.Four chivalrous Bo Yuntian, thank you in advance. When the four heroes heard this, they couldn't help but frowned together, speechless.They were going to rob the scholar, but they were so crowded that they couldn't get off the stage if they asked him to make some speeches.Opening the stele with both palms, Chang Changfeng stretched out his hand and slapped his chest, and said loudly: "A man will not hesitate to stick a knife in both sides for a friend, let alone dozens of taels of silver?"Brother, third brother, fourth brother, take the money out.Here I reached into my pocket to take it out, but I couldn't open it with one palm. It turned out that the pocket was empty, not even a penny. Fortunately, Hua Jianying and Gai Yiming still had a few taels of silver with them, so they took it out and handed it to the scholar.The scholar bowed and bowed, thanked again and again, and said: "I will never forget the kindness of helping you in my life. When we meet in the mountains and rivers in the future, I will repay the virtue."As he spoke, he took the bookboy with him and grew up out of the forest. He walked out of the woods, laughed loudly, and said to the bookboy, "I'll reward you for these taels of silver!"The bookboy tidied up the messed-up luggage and opened an old book. The sun was shining golden, and there were countless thin gold leaves sandwiched between the pages. Gold, they just don't believe it. Although the Four Heroes of Taiyue won't lose money by stealing chickens, they feel that they have done a heroic deed, and their hearts are indescribably comfortable.Gai Yiming said: "This scholar roams all over the world, and he will definitely be able to spread the name of our Taiyue Four Heroes. The word is still on, when suddenly he heard the ringing of Luan's bell and the sound of hooves, a horse came from the south."The Four Heroes have been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and they know a thing or two about listening to the wind and distinguishing sounds.Xiaoyaozi said: "Brothers, the sound of this horse's hooves is crisp and clear, but it is a fine horse."No matter what, if you take the horse down, there will be no other treasures, and this horse can also be used as a gift.Gai Yiming said: "Brother predicts things like a god, and what he said makes sense."He hurriedly untied his belt and said, "Quickly untie your belt and make a tripping rope."He quickly picked up the four belts, and was about to pull them apart between two big trees, when the horse galloped into the forest. Immediately, the passenger saw the four people squatting on the ground and pulling the rope, reined in their horses in a daze, and asked, "What are you doing?"Gai Yiming said: "As soon as An Tri Ma Suo'er said something, he knew something was wrong, when he looked back, he saw that the passenger was a beautiful young girl, after seeing it, he let go of his heart.The girl asked: "What is Antu Masuo doing?"Gai Yiming stood up straight, patted the dust off his hands, and said, "The horse that tripped you!"Well, since you already know, there is no need for this stumbling block.Get off your horse obediently, leave the horse behind, and go well.Although our Taiyue Four Heroes are in the underworld, we have always only robbed wealth, never robbed sex, guarded ourselves like jade, and have a great reputation.When the four heroes of Taiyue met a beautiful girl and a guest, they would pretend to be a gentleman, and they didn't even glance at them. The girl said: You have looked at me seven or eight times, and you said you don't look at me too much?Gai Yiming said: This doesn't count, I did it unintentionally, just take a look!We Taiyue Four Heroes must not bully a single woman and ruin our reputation.The girl smiled sweetly and said: You want to keep my horse, aren't you insulting me?Gai Yiming stammered and said: Well, it makes sense.Xiaoyaozi said: We don't bully you, we only bully your mount.What is an animal?He saw that the horse was tall, its hair was as smooth as oil, it was extremely handsome, and it also had golden le and silver bells. This pair of saddlery alone was worth a lot of money, so he couldn't help but love it more and more. Gai Yiming said: That's right, our Taiyue Four Heroes are hard-working heroes in the Jianghu, and we must not make things difficult for women and children.You only need to leave the mount, and we will not touch a single hair of you.The girl who wanted me to drive the toad, Sai Zhuanzhu, and Taxue Wuhen covered her ears with her hands, and hurriedly said: Don't say it, don't say it.You don't know who I am, and I don't know who you are, do you?Gai Yiming said in surprise: Yes!I don't know how?The girl smiled and said: "Since we don't know each other, if we offend, Dad can't blame me."Hey!What a bold thief, let the four of you go up together! The four people's eyes flickered, and saw that the girl had a pair of double knives in her hands, this time she made a move with the weapon, the momentum was like the wind, the horse rushed forward, bent over with her right hand and cut the bridle rope, and with her left hand, she slashed at Gai Yiming Head chopped off.Gai Yiming shouted: A good man doesn't fight a woman!Why bother to move, seeing the white light flashing, the long knife has already slashed towards the front door, he hastily raised the steel thorn.There was a clang sound, and the weapons intersected, but he felt that the girl's saber had a strong sticky force, she could not hold the weapon in her hand with every push, and immediately flew out of her hand, and shot straight to a height of several zhang, and was nailed into it. Branches of a big tree. Hua Jianying and Chang Changfeng both rushed up from the side, the girl was riding on the horse, condescending, slashing with both left and right knives, Hua Chang and the two were unable to stand up.Seeing the stone tablet in Chang Changfeng's hand, the young girl was very surprised, and asked, "Hey, big man, what are you holding?"Chang Changfeng said: This is Chang Erxia's strange weapon, it is not included in the eighteen weapons of the martial arts, its moves are wonderful, ah ouch!But it turned out that the girl turned the long knife around and hit his wrist with the back of the knife.Chang Changfeng was suffering from pain, and the Qimen weapon was released from his hand. It was no coincidence, strange and strange, and it hit his swollen toe again. Xiaoyaozi saw that the situation was not going well, so he lifted the dry pipe and stepped forward to attack. His pipe was made of refined iron, and he used the judge's brush tricks. He actually used acupuncture points to hit them, but the acupuncture points he recognized were not very accurate, so it was a bit of a mistake, absurd. Take size.The young girl was secretly amused, and let him hit her left leg with the pipe, she felt a slight pain, and shouted: "Consumption ghost, what point did you hit?"Xiaoyaozi said: "This is the Zhongdu acupoint. The point causes numbness in the legs and knees, and limbs are limp. Why don't you let me be tied up?"The girl smiled and said: "The Zhongdu acupoint is not here, it is two inches to the left."Xiaoyaozi was startled, and said: "It's to the left, isn't it?"Stretch out the pipe and wait for some more. The girl chopped off his pipe with one knife, then handed both sabers to her right hand, grabbed his collar with her left hand, tapped the horse's belly lightly with her toe, and the horse neighed and ran straight out of the forest.Xiaoyaozi held the back of his neck for him, his whole body was paralyzed, his limbs were limp and paralyzed, and he could only bind his hands.The remaining three of Taiyue's Four Heroes shouted: "The wind is tight, the wind is tight!"He chased after him desperately. The horse galloped out of Lixu in an instant.Xiaoyaozi carried it for her, dragging his feet on the ground, wiping blood dripping, and said: "You grab my Fengchi acupoint, it's the meeting of Zushaoyang and Yangweimai, I can't move naturally, that's also It is not surprising that it is not a crime of war, although defeat is an honor.The girl giggled, stopped her horse, threw him off, and said: Your own acupoints are right!Suddenly sneered, put the knife on his neck, and shouted: You are rude to the girl, you have to kill her! Xiaoyaozi sighed and said: This statement is wrong. The old man is over fifty years old, and he is still a boy. He will never be rude to girls and wives in his life. If you really want to kill, you'd better use the knife from my Tianzhu acupoint. Never, lest you suffer more!The girl couldn't help laughing, thinking that this tuberculosis ghost was still studying the acupoints when he was dying, I'll scare him again and see what happened, put the blade between the Tianzhu and Fengchi acupoints on his head and neck, and said: This is here .Xiaoyaozi yelled: No, no, the girl is wrong, she has to go up an inch and a half I could only hear three people rushing over in a panic on the road, shouting: "Miss, it is Chang Changfeng and other three heroes who killed the three of us together."The girl said: Why do you come to die by yourself?Gai Yiming said: "I, the Four Heroes of the Taiyue Mountain, have formed a friendship with Jinlan. I don't want to be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, but I hope to die in the same year, the same month, and the same day."The girl killed my elder brother, and my three brothers didn't want to be the only child, so they asked the girl to kill them together.Anyone who frowns is not considered a hero!As he spoke, he walked to Xiaoyaozi's side and stood upright, waiting to be killed. The girl raised the saber in mid-air, slashing down, Gai Yiming smiled and did not dodge.The girl said: Good!The four of you are ordinary in martial arts, but have a lot of loyalty, you can be considered good men, I will spare you.Said put the knife into the sheath.The four were overjoyed and very grateful.Gai Yiming said: "May I ask the lady's name, we Taiyue Four Heroes will definitely keep it in our hearts, and we will repay the grace of not killing you in the future."The young girl didn't feel ashamed when she heard that he was still calling himself the Four Heroes of Taiyue, she couldn't help but smiled again and said: You don't need to ask my name.I would like to ask, why do you want to grab my mount? Gai Yiming said: "The tenth day of March this year is the fiftieth birthday of Jinyang hero Xiao Banhe. When the girl heard Xiao Banhe's name, she was slightly startled, and said: Do you know the old hero Xiao?"Gai Yiming said: We don't know the old hero Xiao, but we have always admired his famous name, we can be regarded as a long time friend, we will go to pay respects to him on his fiftieth birthday.Ashamed to say, our four brothers lacked a congratulatory gift and couldn't get in, so this and that girl laughed and said: So you wanted to grab my mount to give a gift.Well, this one is easy.Then he pulled out a gold hairpin from his head, and said: "This gold hairpin is given to you. The pearl on the hairpin is very valuable. You can take it as a congratulatory gift. Old hero Xiao will definitely like it."As he spoke, he raised the rein, and the steed flew off into the distance. Gai Yiming held the hairpin in his hand, but he saw a big and round pearl on the hairpin, shining brightly, although the Four Heroes didn't know much about goods, they knew it was a rare treasure.The Four Heroes stared blankly at this pearl, all filled with joy.Xiaoyaozi said: "This girl is generous and forthright, but she is one of my generation."Chang Changfeng said: Sure enough, what a chivalrous heroine!Ouch!It turned out that the toe hit by the tombstone just happened to hurt.Gai Yiming said: Eldest brother and second elder brother are as good at predicting things as gods, what they say makes sense. The girl was sitting in a small guest room in the Fen'an inn in Guanshui Town. On the table was a small wine jug, which contained the world-renowned Fen wine.This Guanshui town is in the southwest of Jinzhou, where Fenjiu is produced.But she only took a sip, and her mouth felt hot, numb and painful. The wine was really not good.Why did Daddy like it so much?Daddy used to say: Girls are not allowed to drink.I have to listen to my father at home, but this time I sneak out alone, so I have to drink a pot of this Fenjiu.But it is not easy to drink up this pot.She took another big sip, and felt that her face was a little hot, and when she reached out to touch it, it turned out to be a little hot. The escorts in the next room kept toasting you and me. Aren't they afraid of spicy food?A thick voice yelled: Dude, three more catties!The girl shook her head listening.Another voice said: "Brother Zhang, it's better to be careful in this way, and drink less!"There is a saying in the rivers and lakes: You can hide everywhere with a steady hand and a steady mouth.When we arrive in Beijing, let's get drunk again.先前那人笑道：總鏢頭，我瞧你也是穩得太過了。那四個點子胡吹一輪甚麼太岳四俠，就把你嚇得嘿，嘿夥計，快打酒來。 那少女聽到太岳四俠的名頭，忍不住便要笑出聲來，想來這批鏢師也跟太岳四俠交過手。只聽那總鏢頭說道：我怕甚麼了？你那知道我身上挑的千斤重擔啊。這十萬兩鹽鏢，也沒放在我姓周的心上。哼，這時也不便跟你細說，到了北京，你自會知道。那張鏢師笑道：不錯，不錯！I do not know I do not know.嘿嘿，鴛鴦刀啊鴛鴦刀！ 那少女一聽到鴛鴦刀三字，心中怦的一跳，將耳朵湊到牆壁上去，想聽得仔細些，但隔房剎時之間聲息全無。那少女心中一動，從房門中溜了出去，悄步走到眾鏢師的窗下一站。 只聽得周總鏢師說道：你怎知道？是誰洩漏了風聲？張兄弟，這件事可不是鬧著玩的。他壓低了嗓門，但語調卻極是鄭重。那張鏢師輕描淡寫的說道：這裏的兄弟誰人不知，那個不曉？單就你自己，才當是個甚麼了不起的大秘密。周總鏢頭聲音發顫，忙問：是誰說的？張鏢師道：哈哈，還能有誰？是你自己。周總鏢頭更急了，忙道：我幾時說過了？張兄弟，今日你不說個明明白白，咱哥兒們可不能算完。我姓周的平素待你不薄啊只聽另一人道：總鏢頭，你別急。張大哥的話沒錯，是你自己說的。周總鏢頭道：我？I?我怎麼會？那人道：咱們鏢車一離西安，每天晚上你睡著了，便儘說夢話，翻來覆去總是說：鴛鴦刀，鴛鴦刀！這一次送去北京，可不能出半點岔子，得了鴛鴦刀，無敵於天下 周威信又驚又愧，那裏還說得出話來？怎想得到自己牢牢守住的大秘密，只因為白天裏儘想著，腦中除了鴛鴦刀之外再沒其他念頭，日有所思，夜有所夢，在睡夢中竟說了出來。他向眾鏢師團團一揖，低聲道：各位千位不可再提鴛鴦刀三字。從今晚起，我用布包著嘴巴睡覺。 那少女在窗外聽了這幾句話，心中大樂，暗想：踏破鐵鞋無覓處，得來全不費工夫。這一對鴛鴦刀，竟然在這鏢師身上。我盜了回去，瞧爹爹怎麼說？ 原來這少女姓蕭名中慧，她爹爹便是晉陽大俠蕭半和。 蕭半和威名遠震，與江湖上各路好漢廣通聲氣。上月間得到訊息，武林中失落有年的一對鴛鴦刀重現江湖，竟為川陝總督劉於義所得。這對刀和蕭半和大有淵源，他非奪到手不可，心下計議，料想劉於義定會將寶刀送往京師，呈獻皇帝，與其趕到重兵駐守的要地搶奪，不如半途中攔路截劫。豈知劉於義狡猾多智，一得到寶刀，便大布疑陣，假差官、假貢隊，派了一次又一次，使得覬覦這對寶刀的江湖豪士接連上當，反而折了不少人手。蕭半和想起自己五十生辰將屆，便撒下英雄帖，廣邀秦晉冀魯四路好漢來喝一杯壽酒，但有些英雄帖中卻另有附言，囑託各人務須將這對寶刀劫奪下來。當然，若不是他熟知其人性情來歷的血性朋友，請帖中自無附言，否則風聲洩漏，打草驚蛇，別說寶刀搶不到，只怕還累了好朋友們的性命。 蕭中慧一聽父親說起這對寶刀，當即躍躍欲試。蕭半和派出徒兒四處撒英雄帖，她便也要去，蕭半和派人在陝西道上埋伏，她更加要去。但蕭半和總是搖頭說道：不成！她求得急了，蕭半和便道：你問妳大媽去，問妳媽媽去。蕭半和有兩位夫人，大夫人姓袁，二夫人姓楊。中慧是楊夫人所生，可是袁夫人對她十分疼愛，和自己親生的女兒一般無異。楊夫人說不能去，中慧還可撒嬌，還可整天說非去不可，但袁夫人一說不能去，中慧便不敢辯駁。這位袁夫人對她很是慈和，但神色間自然有一股威嚴，她從小便不敢對大媽的話有半點違拗。 然而搶奪寶刀啊，又凶險，又奇妙，這可多麼有趣！蕭中慧一想到，無論如何按捺不住，終於在一天半夜裏，留了個字條給爹爹、大媽和媽媽，偷偷牽了一匹馬，便離了晉陽。她遇到了要去給爹爹拜壽的太岳四俠，只覺天下英雄好漢，武功也不過如此；她聽到了鏢師們的說話，覺得要劫奪鴛鴦刀，似乎也不是甚麼太大的難事。 她轉過身來，要待回房，再慢慢盤算如何向鏢隊動手，只跨出兩步，突然之間，隔著天井的對面房中傳出噹的一聲響，這是她從小就聽慣了的兵刃撞擊聲。她心中一驚：啊喲，不好！人家瞧見我啦！卻聽得一人罵道：當真動手麼？一個女子聲音叫道：那還跟你客氣？但聽得乒乒乓乓之聲不絕，打得甚是激烈，還夾雜一個嬰兒的大聲哭叫。對面房中窗格上顯出兩個黑影，一男一女，每人各執一柄單刀，縱橫揮霍，拚命砍殺。 這麼一打，客店中登時大亂。只聽得周總鏢頭喝道：大夥兒別出去，各人戒備，守住鏢車，小心歹人調虎離山之計。蕭中慧一聽，心想：這麼不要性命拚鬥，那裏是調虎離山的假打？只可惜他不出來瞧瞧，否則倒真是盜刀的良機。再瞧那兩個黑影時，女的顯已力乏，不住倒退，那男的卻步步進逼，毫不放鬆。她俠義之心登起，心想：這惡賊好生無禮，夤夜搶入女子房中，橫施強暴，這抱不平豈可不打？待要衝進去助那女子，但轉念一想：不好！我一出手，不免露了行藏，若讓教那些鏢師瞧見了，再下手盜刀便不容易。強忍怒氣，只聽得兵刃相擊之聲漸緩，男女兩人破口大罵起來，說得是魯南土語，蕭中慧倒有一大半不懂。 她聽了一會，煩躁起來，正要回房，忽聽得呀的一聲，東邊一間客房的板門推開，出來一位少年書生。只聽他朗聲說道：兩位何事爭吵？有話好好分辯道理，何以動刀動槍？他一面說，一面走到男女兩人的窗下，似要勸解。蕭中慧心道：那惡徒如此兇蠻，誰來跟你講理？只聽得那房中兵刃相交之聲又起，小兒啼哭之聲越來越響，驀地裏一粒彈丸從窗格中飛出，啪的一聲，正好將那書生的帽子打落在地。那書生叫道：啊喲，不好！接著喃喃自言自語：城門失火，殃及池魚。君子不立於危牆之下，這還是明哲保身要緊。說著慢慢踱回房去。 蕭中慧既覺好笑，又為那女子著急，心想那惡賊肆無忌憚，這女子非吃大虧不可。但這時那房中鬥毆之聲已息，客店中登時靜了下來。蕭中慧心下琢磨：爹爹常說，行事當分輕重緩急，眼前盜刀要緊，只好讓那兇徒無法無天。回到房中，關上了門，躺在炕上，尋思如何盜劫寶刀：這鏢隊的人可真不少，我一個人怎對付得了？本該連夜趕回晉陽，去跟爹爹說知，讓他來調兵遣將。可是若我用計將刀盜來，雙手捧給爹爹，豈不更妙？想到得意之處，左邊臉頰上那個酒窩兒深深陷了進去。可是用甚麼計呢？她自幼得爹爹調教，武功甚是不弱。但說到用計，咱們的蕭姑娘可不大在行，肚裏計策不算多，簡直可以說不大有。 她躺在炕上，想得頭也痛了，雖想出了五六個法兒，但仔細一琢磨，竟沒一條管用。朦朦朧朧間眼皮重了起來，靜夜之中，忽聽得篤、篤、篤一聲一聲自遠而近的響著，有人以鐵杖敲擊街上石板，一路行來，顯是個盲人。 敲擊聲響到客店之前，戛然而止，接著那鐵杖便在店門上突、突、突的敲響，跟著是店小二開門聲、呵斥聲，一個蒼老的聲音哀求著要一間店房。店小二要他先給錢，老瞎子給了錢，可是還差著兩吊。於是推拒聲、祈懇聲、店小二罵人的污言穢語，一句一句傳入蕭中慧耳裏。 她越聽越覺那盲人可憐，翻身坐起，在包袱中拿了一小錠銀子，開門出去，卻見那書生已在指手劃腳、之乎者也的跟店小二理論，看來他雖要明哲保身，仍不免喜歡多管閒事。只聽他說道：小二哥，敬老恤貧，乃是美德，差這兩吊錢，你就給他墊了，也就完啦。店小二怒道：相公的話倒說得好聽，你既好心，那你便給他墊了啊。那書生道：你這話又不對了。想我是行旅之人，盤纏帶得不多，寶店的價錢又大得嚇人，倘若隨便出手，轉眼間便如夫子之厄於陳蔡了。因此，所以，還是小二哥少收兩吊錢吧。 蕭中慧噗哧一笑，叫道：喂，小二哥，這錢我給墊了，接著！店小二一抬頭，只見白光一閃，一塊碎銀飛了過來，忙伸手去接。他這雙手銀子是接慣了的，可說百不失一，這般空中飛來的銀子，這次卻是生平破題兒頭一遭來接，不免少了習練，噗的一聲，那塊銀子已打中他的胸口，雖說是銀子，來者不拒，打在身上不免也有點兒疼痛，忍不住啊喲一聲叫了出來。 那書生道：你瞧，人家年紀輕輕的一位大姑娘，尚自如此好心。小二哥，你枉為男子漢，那可差得遠了。蕭中慧向他掃了一眼，只見他長臉俊目，劍眉橫飛，容顏間英氣逼人，心中一跳，忙低下頭去。只聽那老瞎子道：多謝相公好心，你給老瞎子付了房飯錢，真是多謝多謝，但不知恩公高姓大名，我瞎子記在心中，日後也好感恩報德。那書生道：小可姓袁名冠南，區區小事，何足掛齒？這房飯錢，其實不是我代惠的。老丈你尊姓大名啊？那老瞎子道：我瞎子的賤名，叫做卓天雄。 蕭中慧心中正自好笑：這老瞎子當真是眼盲心也盲，明明是我給的銀子，卻去多謝旁人。突然間聽到卓天雄三字，心頭一震：這名字好像聽見過的。那天爹爹和大媽似乎曾低聲說過這個名字，那時我剛好走過大媽門口，爹爹和大媽一見到我，便住了口。但說不定是同名同姓，更許是音同字不同。我爹爹怎能識得這老瞎子？ 袁冠南伴了卓天雄，隨著店小二走入內院。經過蕭中慧身旁時，袁冠南突然躬身長揖，說道：姑娘，你帶了很多銀子出來麼？蕭中慧沒料到他竟會跟自己說話，臉上一紅，似還禮不似還禮的蹲了一蹲，說道：怎麼？袁冠南道：小可見姑娘如此豪闊，意欲告貸幾兩盤纏之資！蕭中慧更沒料到他居然會單刀直入的開口借錢，越加發窘，滿臉通紅，不知如何回答才是，呆了一呆，轉過臉去。那書生道：好，既不肯借，那也不妨。待小可去打別人主意吧！說著又是一揖，轉身回房。 蕭中慧心頭怦怦而跳，一時定不下神，忽然之間，那邊房裏兵刃和喝罵聲又響了起來，砰的一聲大響，窗格飛開，一個壯漢手持單刀，從窗中躍出，左手中卻抱了個嬰兒。跟著一個少婦從窗裏追了出來，頭髮散亂，舞刀叫罵：快還我孩子，你抱他到那裏去？兩人一前一後，直衝出店房。蕭中慧見那少婦滿臉惶急之情，俠義之心再也難以抑制，心道：這兇徒搶了她的孩子，如此傷天害理，非伸手管一管不可！忙回房取了雙刀，趕將出去。 遠遠聽見那少婦不住口的叫罵：快放下孩子，半夜三更的，嚇壞他啦！你這千刀萬剮的殺胚，嚇壞了孩子，我我蕭中慧尋聲急追，不料這兇徒和少婦的輕身功夫均自不弱，直追出里許，來到一處荒涼的墓地，才見到二人雙刀相交，正自惡門。那兇徒懷抱孩子，形勢不利，砍了幾刀，逼開少婦，將孩子放在一塊青石之上，才迴刀砍殺。蕭中慧停步站住，先瞧一瞧那兇徒的武功，但見他膂力強猛，刀法兇悍，那少婦邊打邊退，看來轉眼間便要傷在他的刀下。蕭中慧提刀躍出，喝道：惡賊，還不住手？右手短刀使個虛式，左手長刀逕刺那兇徒胸膛。 那少婦見蕭中慧殺出，呆了一呆，心疼孩子，忙搶過去抱起。那兇徒舉刀一架，問道：你是誰？蕭中慧微微冷笑，道：打抱不平的姑娘。揮刀砍出，她除了跟爹爹及師兄們過招之外，當真與人動手第一次是獨鬥太岳四俠，第二次便是鬥這兇徒了。這兇徒的武功可比太岳四俠強得太多，招數變幻，一柄單刀盤旋飛舞，左手不時還擊出沉雄的掌力。蕭中慧叫道：好惡賊，這麼橫！左手刀著著進攻，驀地裏使個分花拂柳式，長刀急旋。那兇徒吃了一驚，側身閃避。蕭中慧叫道：躺下！短刀斜削，那兇徒左腿上早著。他大吼一聲，一足跪倒，兀自舉刀還招。蕭中慧雙刀齊劈，引得他橫刀擋架，一腿掃去，將他踢倒在地，跟著短刀又刺他右腿。 陡然間風聲颯然，一刀自後襲到，蕭中慧吃了一驚，顧不到傷那兇徒，急忙迴刀招架，這一招獅子回首分寸拿捏得恰到好處，噹的一聲，雙刀相交，黑暗中火星飛濺。她一看之下，更驚得呆了，原來在背後偷襲的，竟然是那懷抱孩子的少婦。這少婦一刀被她架開，跟著又是一刀。蕭中慧識得這一招夜叉探海志在傷敵，竟是不顧自身安危的拚命打法，當即揮短刀擋過，叫道：你這女人莫不是瘋了？那少婦道：你才瘋了？單刀斜閃，溜向蕭中慧長刀的刀盤，就勢推撥，滑近她的手指。蕭中慧一驚，見這少婦力氣不及那兇徒，但刀法之狡譎，卻遠有過之。 這時那兇徒已包紮了腿上傷口，提刀上前夾擊，兩人一攻一拒，招招狠辣。蕭中慧暗暗叫苦：原來這兩人設下圈套，故意引我上當。她刀法雖精，終究是少了臨敵的經歷，這時子夜荒墳，受人夾擊，不知四下裏還伏了多少敵人，不由得心中卻自怯了，一面打，一面罵道：我跟你們無怨無仇，幹麼設下這毒計害我？ 那兇徒罵道：誰跟你相識了？小賤人，無緣無故的來砍我一刀。那少婦也喝道：你到底是甚麼路道，不問青紅皂白便出手傷人。問那兇徒道：龍哥，你腿上傷得怎樣？語意之間，極是關切。那兇徒道：他媽的，痛得厲害。蕭中慧奇道：你們不是存心害我麼？那少婦道：你到底幹甚麼的？這麼強兇霸道，自以為武藝高強麼？我瞧也不見得，可真是不要臉哪。蕭中慧怒道：我見你給這兇徒欺侮，好心救你，誰知你們是假裝打架。那少婦道：誰說假裝打架？我們夫婦爭鬧，平常得緊，你多管甚麼閒事？ 蕭中慧聽得夫婦爭鬧四字，大吃了一驚，結結巴巴的道：你們你們是夫妻？當即向後躍開，腦中一陣混亂。那壯漢道：怎麼啦？我們一男一女住在一房，又生下孩子，難道不是夫妻麼？蕭中慧奇道：這孩子是你們的兒子？那少婦道：他是孩子爸爸，我是孩子媽媽，礙著你甚麼事了？他叫林玉龍，我叫任飛燕，你還要問甚麼？說著氣鼓鼓的舉刀半空，又要搶上砍落。 蕭中慧道：你們既是夫妻，又生下孩子，自然恩愛得緊。怎地又打又罵，又動刀子？這不奇嗎？任飛燕冷笑道：哈哈，大姑娘，等你嫁了男人，就明白啦。夫妻不打架，那還叫甚麼夫妻？有道是床頭打架床尾和，你見過不吵嘴不打架的夫妻沒有？蕭中慧脫口而出，說道：我爹爹媽媽就從來不吵嘴不打架。林玉龍撫著傷腿，罵道：他媽的，這算甚麼夫妻？定然路道不正！啊唷，啊唷任飛燕聽得丈夫呼痛，忙放下孩子，去瞧他傷口，這神情半點不假，當真是一對恩愛夫妻。林玉龍兀自喃喃叫罵：他媽的，不動刀子不拌嘴，算是甚麼夫妻？ 蕭中慧一怔，心道：嘿，這可不是罵我爹娘來著！怒氣上衝，又想上前教訓他，但以一敵二，料想打不過，眼見那嬰兒躺在石上，啼哭不止，一轉身抱起嬰兒，飛步便奔。 任飛燕替丈夫包好傷口，回頭卻不見了兒子，驚道：兒子呢？林玉龍啊喲一聲，跳了起來，說道：給那賤人抱走啦。任飛燕道：你怎不早說？林玉龍道：你自己抱著的，誰叫你放在地下？任飛燕大怒，飛身上前，吧的一聲，打了他一個嘴巴，喝道：我給你包傷口啊！死人！林玉龍回了一拳，罵道：兒子也管不住，誰要你討好？任飛燕道：畜生，快去搶回兒子，回頭在跟你算帳。說著拔步狂追。林玉龍道：不錯，搶回兒子要緊。臭婆娘，自己親生的兒子也管不住，有個屁用？跟著追了下去。 蕭中慧躲在一株大樹背後，按住小孩嘴巴，不讓他哭出聲來，見林任夫婦邊罵邊追，越追越遠，心中暗暗好笑，突然間身上一陣熱，一驚低頭，見衣衫濕了一大片，原來那孩子拉了尿。她好生煩惱，輕輕在孩子身上一拍，罵道：要拉尿也不說話？那孩子未滿週歲，如何會說話？給她這麼一拍，放聲大哭起來。蕭中慧心下不忍，只得乖孩子、好寶貝的慢慢哄他。哄了一會，那孩子合眼睡著了。蕭中慧見他肥頭胖耳，臉色紅潤，傻裏傻氣的甚是可愛，不由得頗為喜歡，心想：去還給她爹爹媽媽吧，嚇得他們也夠了。眼見這對夫婦雙雙向北，當下也不回客店，向北追去。 行了十餘里，天已黎明，那對夫妻始終不見，待得天色大明，到了一座樹木茂密的林中，鳥鳴聲此起彼和，野花香氣撲鼻而至。蕭中慧見林中景色清幽，一夜不睡，也真倦了，揀了一處柔軟的草地，倚樹養神，低頭見懷中孩子睡得香甜，過不多時，自己竟也睡著了。 陽光漸烈，樹林中濃蔭匝地，花香愈深，睡夢中忽聽得威武信義，威武信義一陣陣鏢局的趟子聲遠遠傳來，蕭中慧打個呵欠，雙眼尚未睜開，卻聽得那趟子聲漸漸近了。 來的正是威信鏢局的鏢隊。 鐵鞭鎮八方周威信率領的鏢局人眾，迤邐將近棗香林，只要過了這座林子，前面到晉州一直都是平陽大道，眼見紅日當空，真是個好天，本來今日說甚麼也不會出亂子，可是他心中卻不自禁的暗暗發毛。鏢隊後面那老瞎子的鐵杖在地下篤的一聲敲，他心中便是突的一跳。 一早起行，那老瞎子便跟在鏢隊後面，初時大夥兒也不在意，但坐騎和大車趕得快了，說也奇怪，那瞎子竟始終跟在後面。周威信覺得有些古怪，向張鏢師和詹鏢師使個眼色，鞭打牲口，急駛疾奔，剎時間將老瞎子拋得老遠。他心中一寬。但鏢車沉重，快跑難以持久，一會兒便慢了下來。過不多久，篤、篤、篤聲隱隱起自身後，這老瞎子居然又趕了上來。 這麼一霎功夫，鏢隊人眾無不相顧失色，老瞎子這門輕功，可當真不含糊。鏢隊慢了，那瞎子並不追趕上前，鐵杖擊地，總是篤、篤、篤的，與鏢隊相距十來丈遠。
