Chapter 3 Chapter Three: Hidden Dragon in the Mountain Village
The two put on soft armor, and Gongsun Menglong also brought a sword. He and Liu Yuanlin followed closely to the direction where Lu Dapeng and the other three were going, and chased them down.After chasing for three or four miles, two figures appeared behind a forest and greeted, "Is this Mr. Liu?"Please stay tuned!Seeing that it was the swordsman brought by Eunuch Hong, Liu Yuanlin hurriedly asked, "Two men and a woman came out of it, where did they go?"A swordsman said: They came from the west fork, and then went back the same way, and two brothers followed.Liu Yuanlin made a brief explanation, and then turned westward with Gongsun Menglong. After walking about two miles, another swordsman came out to point out. Road: Is it here?The swordsman nodded and said: Not bad!There were a dozen families, a small village and a mountain temple. All three of them went into the temple, and Ma Wu stared at them.Is there another way here?No!There are cliffs on three sides, and there is only one way!Has anyone else passed by?No, it's just that there are many people in the mountain temple.
Gongsun Menglong said: "The three evil spirits of Tiannan must be hiding in the temple. We don't have to scare the snakes. Fortunately, the distance is not far away. Wouldn't it be easy to tell Eunuch Hong to bring people over and give them a urn to catch turtles."Liu Yuanlin sneered and said: What if Tian Nan San Sha is not here?Why not?If they are not here, why is Lu Dapeng here?With such a careful arrangement of the Tiannan Sansha, it is natural to prevent someone from following them. Their coming to this temple is probably a temptation.In your opinion?Go down and have a look first, and if it is confirmed that it is Tiannan Sansha, it is not too late to make a move.Because Gongsun Menglong made a mistake once, he knew that people in the Jianghu are not aggressive, so he didn't dare to express more opinions. Liu Yuanlin told the swordsman: "I will go down with the doctor to have a look. If you don't look back in half an hour, you should go back quickly." Inform Eunuch Hong to bring someone over, otherwise keep silent and continue to monitor!I will call Ma Wu to inform you.
Gongsun Menglong said: "Why does it take half an hour?"Our purpose is to find the three evil spirits of the South China Sea and obtain the treasure map. If the three evil spirits of the South China Sea are not there, we will not be able to show up, so we will wait and see how they can contact the three evil spirits of the South China Sea, and then they will continue to nail them down.Gongsun Menglong said: "We have followed Lu Dapeng and the other three young ones, and we have been nailing them down. We are not afraid that we will not find the old ones, so why should they go after them?"Liu Yuanlin sneered and said, "Has the doctor ever done tracking work?"The old man lives deep in Beijing, how could he have done this kind of work?The biggest requirement for tracking is not to be out of touch, not to be perceived by the other party. Our two identities are too obvious to be suitable for tracking. We can only follow the route slowly.The footsteps of these swordsmen are not necessarily faster than others.The footsteps are a bit short, but there are many people, one group after another, and they are divided into shifts. When they catch up to a certain area, they will be handed over to the next group to pick them up. So as not to attract the attention of the other party!Gongsun Menglong sighed when he heard this: "It's really like a mountain. I think I'm familiar with military books and have a deep understanding of strategy, but I don't know that there is also a lot of knowledge in these details."Liu Yuanlin sneered and said: If the doctor is proficient in everything, Eunuch Wei doesn't have to secretly set up the West Factory and use our group of Jianghu people.
Because Gongsun Menglong lost his mouth, he had to be ridiculed by him, followed behind him silently, and quietly slid down the valley towards the place with lights.Liu Yuanlin was very careful when he walked, and tried to pick a sheltered place to pass through. Of course, it was not easy to walk. Sometimes he snaked like a hare, sometimes he flew with a kite and a fish leaped. It was extremely hard work, so I had to grit my teeth and hold back.When he was approaching the mountain temple, Liu Yuanlin hissed twice, as if making a secret signal. Sure enough, a figure turned up behind a boulder and made a gesture. Asked: how?But Ma Wu ignored him, gestured to Liu Yuanlin and said: There are nine people inside, but they are all strangers, not like friends on the road.Liu Yuanlin smiled and said: "The three demons of Tiannan have been in hiding for many years, and the disciples' children are not walking around in the rivers and lakes. Naturally, they are all new faces. Have they set up sentries around the periphery?"Why didn't I see anyone when I came?Ma Wudao: There are a few people around, all of whom were touched quietly by his subordinates.Touched?It's that simple.The subordinates used bone-penetrating needles, and they were the ones quenched with anesthetic, so it was easier, but those guys' alertness was too poor.
Liu Yuanlin pondered for a moment and said: Then there is a problem. If the Tiannan Sansha were really here, the guard posts outside would not be so lax.Gongsun Menglong said: "Don't worry about it, since it's here, you have to see what happened."As he spoke, he rushed forward, Liu Yuanlin quickly caught up with him and stopped him, saying: Doctor!This is not reckless, we retreat quickly, this is a trap.How can I see it?Because we came too easily, Tiannan Sansha is an old Jianghu, he would never be so careless, otherwise he would deliberately lure us into ambush!After finishing speaking, the temple door suddenly opened, and a person came out, laughed loudly and said: Your Excellency is right at all, Tiannan Sansha is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he will not dare to deal with Ouchi after a while.With the reflection of the snow, it can be seen that the man is about 60 years old, tall, thin and strong, and full of energy when speaking, Gongsun Menglong said in astonishment: "Lu Yishi, so you are here, the old man came here for a meeting with sincerity." of.The man smiled and said: Hasn't the child already talked about everything?The three-day period is less than three hours, Mr. Gongsun must be too impatient!This friend is very familiar, presumably it must be Liu Daxia, the left-handed sword.Liu Yuanlin had no choice but to say: "It's Liu Yuanlin later, and the elder is Gongsun Menglong." He hurriedly said: "This is the righteous man Lu Zhongyang."Liu Yuanlin cupped his hands and said: "It's a pleasure to meet you, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm a latecomer, and I often regret that I didn't know Jing. I don't know how Mr. Lu got such a humble name?"Lu Zhongyang laughed and said: Although the three of us don't spend much time in the Jianghu, we still pay attention to the influential figures in the martial arts world. Hero Liu is proud of his age and famous all over the world. The two following children came here, presumably because they felt that the deposit was too unfair, and they were going to take back the deposit and get the treasure map for free.
Gongsun Menglong hurriedly said: "The righteous man misunderstood, we have absolutely no intention of it."Lu Zhongyang laughed and said: Mr. Gongsun, why deny it?It doesn't matter if you have this intention. Since we dare to deal with the government, we naturally prepared this move. If you say that the two came with good intentions, Lu would not dare to receive them.Gongsun Menglong had no choice but to bite the bullet and deny: The righteous man is too thoughtful, if we have that intention, how could only two of us come here?Lu Zhongyang smiled and said: You two are just scouting the way, and there are still a few contacts behind, waiting for news. When they found out the ground, they immediately summoned a large number of people to besiege. That Mr. Hong is waiting for news from you.Gongsun Menglong saw that his plan and deployment were completely expected by the other party, and he lost his mind for a while, but Liu Yuanlin could hold his breath, smiled and said: "Old Master Lu is worthy of being a senior in the world, and he is ahead in everything."Lu Zhongyang smiled and said: This is like a saying. We are walking in the underworld. In the underworld, we are not afraid of the underworld, but we are afraid that we will not admit it. Now that Liu Daxia has admitted it, we are easy to talk, come on!come on in please talk
Gongsun Menglong was hesitant to make a decision, but Liu Yuanlin said very calmly: "It's okay to talk, anyway, I've come anyway, at least make it clear. Although the son and others have talked about it before, it's better to talk directly with the master!"Ma Wu, go and take care of the back, tell them to keep their positions, and don't act without their orders.Lu Zhongyang smiled and said: "Don't bother, there will be no one behind. There is no ban on Lu's road, but he is waiting for you. After you pass by, those people should rest, so Lu has done his best. entertained.Gongsun Menglong panicked and said: "They are big internal swordsmen, if Lu Yishi kills them, things will become serious."Lu Zhongyang said with a smile: Da Nei will use anesthesia to pierce the needle, and we will use it too. Don't worry, Mr. Gongsun, they will sleep at most. After twelve hours, the skin and flesh will not be hurt. There is absolutely nothing wrong. Lu also knows Qiu, they are all officials, and the common people dare to kill officials, isn't it just a joke with their own lives.
Gongsun Menglong was speechless, but Lu Zhongyang said with a smile: "Both of you, please come in. The other one is standing by the door. Don't run around. We are all waiting for you within five miles. The children don't know." Whether it is serious or not, if there is any offence, wouldn't it affect our deal?please!please!Seeing that everything was calculated by others, Liu Yuanlin could only say: Ma Wu!Just wait at the door!I really don't know how you learned from Qiu Kuang. You were pinned down by others, and you couldn't even touch the shadow.Ma Wu bowed his head and said nothing, Liu Yuanlin led Gongsun Menglong into the temple gate, but saw that the god statues on the dilapidated main hall had been moved aside, the god seat had been moved down as a stool, and a large group of people sat against the altar .In addition to the three young people I have seen, there are two old men, a middle-aged scribe and two young girls.Gongsun Menglong said: "The two righteous men, Wang Shi, are also here."Lu Zhongyang introduced Wang Bohu and Shi Zhongwei to Liu Yuanlin, and then specially introduced the middle-aged scribe, saying: This is Mr. Huang Youzhi Huang.Huang Youzhi bowed to Gongsun Menglong and said with a smile: Mr. Gongsun, we are family friends. I think our ancestors made the wrong choice back then, which made us unsuccessful as future generations. After getting up, I still have to rely on my husband to promote me a lot in the future!Yingying, Meimei, met Uncle Gongsun.The two strange girls yelled with a smile, Huang You said with a smile: These are two little girls, Mr. Gongsun wants to take care of them more because he is a family friend.
Gongsun Menglong was very embarrassed by the words, Huang Youzhi laughed again: "Although Jianwen's treasures are enough to support a group of descendants of our survivors who died with Emperor Hui in those years, but sitting on the mountain and eating nothing, after all, there is an end to it. Mr. Gongsun actually thought of using it." In exchange for a road to wealth and prosperity, it is indeed much smarter than us.Gongsun Menglong heard that the other party's meaning was sarcasm, and couldn't help but become angry from embarrassment: "What do you mean by this?"Huang Youzhi also lowered his face and said: "It doesn't mean anything, I just want to ask you, what will you do to meet your ancestors underground after you die?"Gongsun Menglong said angrily: "Yongle is also a descendant of Hongwu. We can't control the emperor's family affairs. I am loyal to Zhu Ming's emperor now."Huang Youzhi sneered and said: I'm afraid your wealth is not rewarded by the emperor, the Zhu family's world has already been transferred to Wei Zhongxian's hands, I don't care which emperor you are loyal to, but it would be embarrassing for scholars to cling to a stray dog.Gongsun Menglong was stunned by the words, blushing and said: You share Jianwen's treasures with some thieves in the rivers and lakes, how much better than me?Lu Zhongyang laughed loudly and said: Well scolded!Isn't it too late for Mr. Gongsun to realize that we are thieves?Long before he came to us, sir should have thought about it, Tiannan Sansha is notorious, when will he share the account with others and only take a small portion?
Gongsun Menglong was taken aback for a moment before he said: "Lu Yishi, so you didn't intend to hand over the treasure map at all?Lu Zhongyang smiled and said, "What are you talking about? We are thieves, and we will never regret what we promised. What's more, a few pieces of torn paper can be sold for hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. You can't find such a bargain anywhere in the world." If you say sell it, you will sell it.Gongsun Menglong couldn't figure out what his intentions were for a moment, or Liu Yuanlin was more experienced, so he could see through a little bit, and said with a cold smile: "Mr. Lu's plan is really good. The map of Tibetan treasures is probably planned to wait for the treasures to be obtained." Ken sells.Lu Zhongyang laughed loudly and said: Liu Daxia is absolutely right.Gongsun Menglong's face changed drastically and he said: You guys are too dishonest.Lu Zhongyang's face darkened and he said: "Mr. Gongsun, when you negotiated with us, you only specified that you had robbed a piece of escort goods, but did not say that it was a treasure map. We handed over the original goods. How can you say that it is not trustworthy?"But you already know that it is a treasure map.good!This part of the information was provided by Brother Huang. We have another deal with Brother Huang and have nothing to do with Mr. Huang.
Gongsun Menglong stared blankly, not knowing what to do, Lu Zhongyang sneered again: Mr. Gongsun is too shrewd, talking about the deal with you honestly is bound to suffer a loss, if Brother Huang hadn't reminded us, we would have almost entered the university when.Gongsun Menglong said: Didn't I pay half of the deposit as agreed?Lu Zhongyang sneered and said: "Mr. knew the situation at that time. You didn't even want to pay half of it. If we were not prepared, not only would we not get a penny, but we would not even be able to save our three lives."Gongsun Menglong was sweating profusely in anxiety, but Lu Zhongyang smiled teasingly: "What a clever plan, no one would have imagined that Mr. Gongsun was once a master insider. One can stand it. When Brother Huang made this guess earlier, we didn’t believe it, so we asked Xiao’er to wait a try, and he was appointed to have a joint with Mr. alone. As expected, Mr. Gongsun, your belly The agency is still a bit worse than Brother Huang.Huang Youzhi smiled slightly and said: "The few retainers who followed Jianwen back then all came here twice. Brothers are comparing themselves to others. It is speculated that Mr. Gongsun must have a family background, but I didn't expect that he would be so clever. He beat Dapeng as soon as he made a move." Brother Shi restrained it, this skill is really admirable.Lu Zhongyang laughed loudly and said: Yes, it's so respectable and admirable!Peng'er, come here, you should thank Mr. Gongsun for his mercy and not hurting you.Lu Dazhen smiled and said: "Thank you sir for your kindness, but next time you give me advice, sir, please lower your hand slightly, the palm on the shoulder didn't hurt any tendons, but this half of my body is still aching.
Gongsun Menglong was ridiculed by them and was so angry that he couldn't even speak. With a choke, he drew his sword out of its sheath and wanted to attack, but Tiannan Sansha smiled and turned a blind eye. Feeling a shock on the sword, he groaned slightly, looked down, and couldn't help being shocked, it turned out that a copper coin had been put on the tip of his sword at some time, it was Wang Bohu's soul-chasing money dart!Lu Zhongyang smiled and said, "Sir, don't be restless. Our hidden weapons are not like those of the younger generation. They have a limit of twenty feet. They are close at hand and far away as far as the eyes can see. Our aim and power are the same, because my life-threatening Zhu and Brother Shi's blood-transforming shuttle have been poisoned, and they will die if they touch it, so Brother Wang will give you a little warning, come on!Come!Put down the sword, let's have a good talk.Gongsun Menglong was surprised when he saw that the other party was too strong. He hung down his long sword involuntarily, and said angrily: "What else can we talk about?"Why didn't we talk about it? The deposit has been received and the goods have not been handed over. We must continue to negotiate the deal and decide on the delivery date.You took away the treasures, and the map of the treasures is still useless!Huang You said with a straight smile: It is worthless to others, but it is very useful to Mr. Otherwise, how can Mr. go back to Beijing for business?Gongsun Menglong said angrily: I still can't pay the job if I buy an empty drawing.Huang You said with a straight smile: "This is where we want to discuss. Naturally, we have a way to make Mr. work, and everyone will not suffer."What kind of cross method?
Huang You said with a straight smile: "My uncle is Jianwen's Shangyi Supervisor. There are still many Jianwen's own edicts in my brother's home. Brothers can copy a copy and put them in the treasure place. Sir, you can find the edict with the treasure map." , Wouldn't it be a business trip?What is written in the imperial edict?Just say that Jianwen has found a place to stay overseas, sent people to take the treasure away, and at the same time added fuel and jealousy, and said a few irrelevant nonsense, such as edicting the deceased ministers, seeking development overseas together, etc. It's more like that.Gongsun Menglong shook his head and said: "The theory of Jianwen leaving overseas has been widely circulated during Emperor Yongle's time. For this reason, Emperor Yongle even sent his Sanbao Lord Zheng He to go to the West seven times, but they didn't find Jianwen's whereabouts. This move can't be fooled."Huang You said with a straight smile: Zheng Sanbao went to the Western Ocean, we can change the direction and go to the Eastern Fusang Island, it will be seamless.What if the court believes it?Huang Youzhi laughed loudly and said: "I believe there is no use. Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng's rebellion is enough for the court to have a headache, and they dare to use troops in the East."
Gongsun Menglong said: "What are you planning for?"Huang You smiled and said: "For convenience, under my brother's estimation, the three-day period for taking out the treasures is too short, so it must be postponed to half a month. I hope the elders will not trouble us. This is the condition."Gongsun Menglong said: I don't have such great authority.Huang You said with a straight smile: "If my husband and Liu Daxia are willing to help each other and try our best to make it happen, it should be no problem to hide the truth from that eunuch surnamed Hong."Gongsun Menglong sneered and said: Why should I help?Lu Zhongyang laughed loudly and said: "It was sir's idea to ask us to rob the darts. If something goes wrong, sir can't afford it. Not only will the leader's fame and reputation be lost, but even the old and young in the house will not be at peace. Sir, can you?" thought about it.Huang Youzhi smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Gongsun, being with you is like being with a tiger. Although you are good at dancing, you can't make mistakes. It's better to get a piece of money and live in peace and security."Gongsun Menglong didn't know what to do, so he looked at Liu Yuanlin with his eyes and saw that he had no expression, so he couldn't help but said anxiously: "Master Liu, you should also express your opinion."Liu Yuanlin sneered and said: "This is the husband's business, and it has nothing to do with me. Liu is alone, and he is not afraid of dragging down his family. What opinions can we express?"Gongsun Menglong said: If you can't recover the treasure map, you are also responsible.Liu Yuanlin sneered and said: "Using my method, I will be responsible for the accident. This incident was caused by the master alone, and I will be reprimanded at most."
Huang Youzhi smiled and said: "Liu Daxia, this matter depends on you, so naturally I will not forget your benefits. Wei Zhongxian is going to buy the other half of the treasure map, even if it is your remuneration, it is 10% and 50%." In case two people get it alone, compared to us, it can't be considered less.Liu Yuanlin smiled and said: Five hundred thousand taels is naturally a lot, but how do I know that I can get it?Will you take care of others once you have treasures in your hands?Lu Zhongyang hurriedly said: We have always been faithful to our friends in the Jianghu.Liu Yuanlin said: "Xinyi is sometimes worth tens of thousands of gold in the Jianghu, and sometimes it is worthless. I am not so interested in talking about Xinyi with everyone."Lu Zhongyang checked his expression and said: "The hero is not willing to help. You should know that we are already polite enough to discuss with you. It is not difficult to ask you to come in straight and go out sideways."Liu Yuanlin laughed loudly and said: If killing Liu Xia would help you get the treasure, you would have done it a long time ago. Wouldn't it be easy to get a piece of the pie from Tiannan Sansha?Mr. Lu is the head of the family, this is not the first time Liu has entered the rivers and lakes today
Huang Youzhi hurriedly said: Brother Lu!Liu Daxia is right to worry, his interests are not guaranteed, so it is hard to believe that our Lu Zhongyang said angrily: "Zangzhen has not been obtained yet, how can I protect him?"Huang You said straightly: How about this, we can pay half of the 50,000 taels of deposit we just received to Liu Daxia as the protection he deserves, and the other half will be deducted by Liu Daxia when they buy the treasure map.Liu Yuanlin smiled and said: "The whole Zangzhen embankment is four million taels. After you get it, do you still care about the mere two hundred and fifty thousand taels? Come and let it go, Mr. Gongsun naturally can't get rid of it. If you bite me, my other Not to mention that half of it is ruined, and even half of it is not safe to enjoy. I don't do this kind of transaction.what do you wantIf you want to pay in full, anyway, the money is given by the officials, and you don't need to pay a penny, otherwise nothing will be discussed.Huang You said straightly: To tell the truth, although the location of the hidden treasure has been confirmed, a sum of money is required to dig out the hidden gold, so we use a fake map to get a ticket, otherwise we can come to an unavoidable Let's meet, we have to reserve the 250,000 taels of funds as a spare, please feel sorry for the heroes.
Lu Zhongyang said: "What's more, we only got the map of Tibetan treasures, and we still don't know whether there are really hidden treasures in it. You just got twenty-five yuliang first, so why are you not happy? If you miss nothing, we will be busy for nothing." , you are the only one who gets the benefits, it's up to you whether you like to do it or not.Liu Yuanlin pondered for a moment before saying: I have no choice but to accept it.But Gongsun Menglong said: Master Liu, if they can't dig out the treasure, wouldn't it be miserable for the old man? How will the old man explain it then?Liu Yuanlin smiled and said: If you can't dig out the treasures, they will make it easier for you to explain, because they can't do it for nothing, they have to use the map of the treasures to ask for the other half of the money, so Dr. Gongsun can rest assured that your responsibility has been settled confessed.Huang You said with a straight smile: After all, it is Liu Daxia who has thought carefully. At present, we are not sure about the Tibetan treasures.Gongsun Menglong said: "You are all well, it's just my work in vain."Liu Yuanlin smiled and said: "At least the doctor has learned the lesson. People in the Jianghu must not be bullied. In the future, you should keep your own place and be your doctor Yushi in Beijing."
Gongsun Menglong glanced at him sullenly, but did not dare to reply. Huang You asked Lu Dapeng to count out half of the bank notes he got and handed them over to Liu Yuanlin, and then Qiu: Let's just say that, the two of you should be the best Go back to Jinling and wait. We will inform you when the time comes. As for how to restrict the activities of Ouchi warriors, I hope you two will help me and try to find ways to distract them. Gongsun Menglong said: Master Liu!This matter can only be known to you and me, and there must be no third person to know about it. Fortunately, everyone along the way was solved by Lu Yishi and the others, and there was only one Ma Wu at the door. He didn't catch up with Lu Yishi and the others. Anyway, all the people brought by Hong Chengde died. There was no proof of death, and the clues were interrupted. He can't blame us.Liu Yuanlin smiled and said: "I know, but if we do it, there will always be traces on the corpse. I'd like to ask Mr. Lu to do it for me."Lu Zhongyang smiled and said: That's not easy, you call him in, and I'll give him a life-suicide bead, which can melt even bones.Gongsun Menglong hurriedly said: That's the best, Ma Wu!Come in.
A figure rushed in outside the door, Lu Zhongyang raised his arms violently, the man snorted, and fell backwards, Gongsun Menglong was waiting to examine, Lu Zhongyang said: "I can't go, the poison is quenched on my Suo Mingzhu, a cup of tea Within a short period of time, people can be reduced to nothing, and even the mist from the corpse is poisonous, and it can kill people if inhaled. We'd better wait for the poisonous gas to dissipate before going there. Sure enough, if the enemy is besieging, just kill one, and indirectly solve the others.Lu Zhongyang laughed triumphantly and said, "The three of us have traveled the rivers and lakes for many years and made countless enemies, but we have been able to live safely until today because of these two actions."Gongsun Menglong was horrified when he heard the words, but Liu Yuanlin remained calm. Everyone waited for a while, and saw that the corpse at the door was still in good condition and there was no movement.Lu Dapeng couldn't help doubting: Dad!Normally, the corpse should have gasified, but there is still no sign, not because you touched the wrong beads.Lu Zhongyang said: Nonsense, the non-poisonous beads are for practice. I haven't used them for many years, so there's a reason why I still keep them with me.Lu Dapeng said: Maybe it's because when Dad was teaching me, he kept one or two more by his side and forgot for a while, otherwise it wouldn't be invalid.Lu Zhongyang pondered for a moment before saying: Maybe it is possible.
While talking and waving his hands, everyone could only hear a faint sound piercing through the air, but could not see anything, Shi Zhongwei said in astonishment: "Brother!Why do you put three beads in a row? It takes a lot of time to make this thing, so why waste it?Lu Zhongyang said coldly: I think there is a problem!Maybe I took the first bead by mistake, but I punched out the last three beads with all my strength, even a dead person should be smashed, why is there still no movement at all?Gongsun Menglong also said: Master Liu, this person does not seem to be Ma Wu.Liu Yuanlin said indifferently: "Of course not. Everyone in Da Nei has special marks on them. You can tell who they are at a glance in the dark. You don't need to question them to know who they are."Lu Zhongyang asked in astonishment: Who is he if he is not a samurai?Liu Yuanlin said with a smile: "This is up to Mr. Lu. Only one of our people stays outside, and the rest are from your side."Lu Dapeng immediately said: "It's not our people, our people also have a secret mark of identification, and they never dare to break in without being called."All the three evil spirits in Tiannan showed stunned expressions, but no one dared to go closer to find out what happened, because this person had been hit with four life-sustaining beads in a row. If he was not dead, he must be a top martial arts master. It would be dangerous to rush over thing.
After a moment of silence, Ji Hongwei finally said: I don't believe in evil, but I want to see who is holy.Lu Dapeng hurriedly said: Big sister!You can't go.But Shi Zhongwei said: Hong'er!You go and take a look, we will watch for you, if the situation is different, you should get out of the way quickly, and our hidden weapons will be released immediately.Holding a long sword in her hand, Ji Hongwei walked slowly to the man, looked down, raised her head and said, "It's a young man!"She is really tall.Lu Zhongyang said anxiously: Whoever he is, is he alive or dead?have no idea!He closed his eyes and remained motionless, as if dead.Shi Zhongwei said: "Whether he is dead or not, you can cut off his head and talk about it later."Ji Hongwei raised the sword and dropped it, the man's head rolled aside, everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that nothing happened, Shi Zhongwei hurriedly said: "Pick the head over here."Ji Hongwei picked up the man's head with her sword and returned to the crowd. Lu Dapeng held the candlelight and looked closer. Gongsun Menglong said, "Isn't this Wu Jiu?"Lu Zhongyang asked: Who is Wu Jiu?Liu Yuanlin said indifferently: "Wu Jiu is one of the nine great warriors of Xichang. His real name is Wu Jiusong. He is a master of the Huashan School, and his nickname is Sancunding."Ji Hongwei immediately said: "Three inches?"He was lying on the ground a full nine feet!Liu Yuanlin said: "That's why it's strange. Miss Ji, take a look again. Does this head look like it was just chopped off?"Is the blood in the neck turning purple?
Everyone looked carefully, not only the residual blood on the neck turned purple, which proved that the person had been dead for two hours, but also a wooden stick was inserted into the throat.The three evil spirits of Tiannan are all old Jianghu, so they immediately knew what was going on. It was the blind trick of the five sects of the Jianghu. Install a puppet's head, such as the black and white impermanence in the Town God's Temple!The difference this time is that a real person's head bag was used, and a wooden stick was used to prop it up on the head. Ji Hongwei only cut off the wooden stick with a single sword!So when everyone went to look at the corpse underground, there was no trace of it. In the blink of an eye when everyone paid attention to the head, the corpse disappeared without a trace.After all, Huang Yingying and Huang Meimei were girls, they were timid, and they screamed in fright. Ji Hongwei was also a little timid, approaching her adoptive father Shi Zhongwei and said: "No!"Out of hell!Lu Zhongyang sneered and said, "It's obvious that someone is playing tricks. Just now you stabbed him in the heart and it's fine. Cutting his head off is just as good as fart."Ji Hongwei was reprimanded, she pursed her lips and said: Master told me to cut off my head, and you are blaming me again, why didn't you just go and see for yourself.Shi Zhongwei also felt that Lu Zhongyang scolded him for no reason, so he laughed and said, "Brother!It's no wonder she, after all, she is too inexperienced in the world, you should remind her, besides, she is brave enough to go over and have a look.Lu Zhongyang said: She didn't look at it, the idea was still in front of her eyes, but when she looked at it, something went wrong, and she didn't know where the idea went.Shi Zhongwei said embarrassingly: "Brother!It's only because the younger brother gave the wrong order.
Lu Zhongyang heard Shi Zhongwei's displeasure, and hurriedly said: "Third son!I don't mean to blame anyone, I just teach them an experience, don't be fooled when they encounter this kind of thing in the future, if you see the opponent is particularly tall or fat, you must choose the middle to attack, that place is not easy to disguise, you still Remember the example where we suffered in the hands of black and white double judges?Lu Dapeng hurriedly asked: Who is the double judgment in black and white?Wang Bohu said: "It's a pair of monsters in the Jianghu. One is two feet tall, the other has a waist of ten circumferences. Their martial arts are unfathomable. We just made our debut. In order to fight for a ticket, we met them. I hit them with a money dart." For Hei Pan's eyes, Brother Lu hit Bai Pan's shoulder with a life-saving pearl, thinking that they had been dealt with, but they were all camouflaged, Bai Pan was as thin as a bamboo pole, and Hei Pan was less than five feet tall. They all hid in the clothes racks and fought with others, but they were restrained instead, not to mention losing the deal, and even stumbled.Ji Hongwei laughed and said: "I always thought that you three old men were invincible and never lost the wind. It turns out that you have also stumbled."Lu Zhongyang said in embarrassment: "There are people who have stumbled in the rivers and lakes. They were fooled last time and behaved again. Besides, we are the only people who have seen the true colors of black and white judgments. This stumble is worth it."
Liu Yuanlin said: "The black and white judges never leave anyone alive. It is very rare for the three of them to survive under their hands."Wang Bohu said: "That time was also luck. I don't know why the black and white judgments didn't kill us. They just set a condition that they are not allowed to tell anyone the truth about them. Otherwise, Ji Hongwei hurriedly asked: Otherwise, what will happen?"Lu Zhongyang smiled and said: Otherwise, our heads will be cut off.Didn't Uncle Wang violate the agreement by speaking out?Wang Bohu smiled and said: "This happened thirty years ago. At that time they were sixty or seventy years old. They are already dead now. What are you afraid of?"Lu Zhongyang smiled and said: "Even if we don't die, we are not afraid of them making trouble. In order to make trouble, we also dealt with them and killed the family of Fang Xueping, the most respected Zhongzhou hero in the martial arts world." , left clues, and fell on their heads. Fang Xueping invited martial arts experts from all over the world to besiege them collectively, intercept them on the Zhangren Peak of Mount Tai, kill them to serious injuries, and force them to fall into a deep valley. Although no bodies were found, the injuries they suffered From the looks of it, there will be no recovery in this lifetime, so we never worry about them coming to make trouble.
Liu Yuanlin said: "The matter is still young in the next year. I only heard about it, but I don't know that it is the masterpiece of the three. The revenge methods of the three are very powerful."Lu Zhongyang laughed loudly and said: "The Three Demons of the South are not easy to bully, those who are against us, it's better to weigh their own weight!"Wang Bohu continued: "We used to have some regrets. Although our brains are flexible and our martial arts have reached the top level, it is just that we have missed a few years of study, and it is not enough to deal with the big situation. Now that Brother Huang joins the cooperation, we can look down on the world." , After we get that sum of treasures, and then use this wealth as a backing, we will be able to make a big difference in the arena.Huang You said with a straight smile: Brother Wang praised me too much.Lu Zhongyang smiled and said: "Brother Huang, you are welcome. We will never flatter people easily. Your design is indeed worthy of admiration. Mr. Gongsun is Wei Zhongxian's most proud think tank. In front of you, he has no choice but to bow down."Gongsun Menglong was embarrassed, so he could only laugh dryly and said: It turned out to be Mr. Huang's layout plan, which is brilliant.Huang Youzhi was slightly proud and said: "Gao Ming is not a word, but we all come from the same background, and we are quite familiar with the way officials do things. Although we care about single-mindedness in using it, we can't leave it at the same time. Brothers can roughly predict it." That's all.
But Liu Yuanlin sneered and said: Mr. Lu, I would like to ask a very presumptuous question, did you ever carry the treasure map with you?Lu Zhongyang was stunned and said: Why did Daxia Liu suddenly ask this?Now that we have a secret agreement, I naturally have to be concerned, because now there is a third party involved, I don't want something to go wrong again, if the treasure map is brought with the old master, it is best to be more cautious.Lu Zhongyang smiled and said, "Forgive me for not commenting on this."Then I don't care.Huang You said straightly: "What does Daxia Liu mean by saying no matter what?"Liu Yuanlin said: "Now at least one person has sneaked into this ancient temple. Although the intention of this person is not obvious, it is mostly related to the treasure map, and judging from his way of doing things, it seems that he is still the successor of black and white judgments. Lu Zhongyang looked slightly." Surprised: Impossible, black and white double judgment never accepts disciples.Liu Yuanlin smiled and said: "I hope not, I was born too late, but I heard that if the black and white judgments focus on one thing, they will never give up if they fail to achieve their goals. If their heirs intend to get their hands on the Tibetan treasure map, then the three of you can't be optimistic." .Lu Zhongyang said angrily: "It's a joke, let alone their descendants, even if these two old ghosts don't die, today's Tiannan Sansha will no longer be afraid of them."
After saying this, a sneer suddenly came from the hall, and it came from behind the statue not far from them, and the three girls exclaimed in an uproar.Lu Zhongyang shouted angrily: Who is it!Get out!There was no sound behind the statue, Huang Youzhi blew out the candle with two puffs, the three girls became even more frightened, but Huang Youzhi said: Don't be afraid!It's a man, not a ghost. When the fire is lit, we are in the light, and he is in the dark. Naturally, we suffer. Everyone, stand in your position and don't tell him to run away.The three evil spirits of Tiannan had already occupied their respective positions and surrounded the statue. Everyone waited in the dark for a while, gradually getting used to it, and could vaguely distinguish the general situation of the hall.Lu Zhongyang shouted in a deep voice: If you don't come out again, we will be impolite!There was no sound behind the statue, Lu Zhongyang said, "Everyone act together, destroying the statue together, let's see where he hides."Huang Youzhi hurriedly said, "No way, absolutely no way!"Why?Is Brother Huang still superstitious?It is not a superstition, insulting the gods will incur the wrath of the sky.Ji Hongwei couldn't help laughing and said: "Old man Huang, you were the one who ordered the statue to be moved down just now, so why weren't you afraid of incurring the wrath of the sky at that time?"Shi Zhongwei hurriedly shouted: Children, stop talking nonsense.Ji Hongwei said unconvinced: Is it the truth? Am I wrong?
Liu Yuanlin and Gongsun Menglong knew it well, and knew that the treasure map must be placed in the statue. Gongsun Menglong said: I am not afraid of the wrath of the sky.邊說邊過了過去。神像後冒出一條人影，舉劍反擊，兩人鬥了幾招，黃友直已晃亮了火摺子，照見了那是一個年輕人，一隻手裡還拿著一捲紙筒。劉元麟見那青年人與店中的啞婦面貌略有幾分酷似，心知必是許天威所說的怪劍手方衣，見他手中拿著紙卷，忙問道：那是不是藏珍圖？黃友直避重就輕地道：反正絕不能讓他跑了。劉元麟唯恐天南三煞的暗器出手，忙上前加入搏鬥，同時招呼陸大鵬等人道：大家一起上。三個年輕人不明就裡，恐怕藏珍圖會被劉元麟或公孫夢龍奪去，不約而同，各擺兵刃上前圍攻，連黃英英與黃美美也上去了，這兩個女孩子多點心計，一上前就把公孫夢龍隔開了，同時季紅薇也會意，把劉元麟替了下去，不讓他們接近方衣，公孫夢龍十分著急道：劉大人！你怎麼下去了，萬不能讓這小子把圖奪了去。劉元麟正中下懷道：公孫大夫未免太輕視陸老當家他們了，有天南三煞在場，那裡容得人猖狂，又那裡要我們插手幫忙呢？我們還是避避嫌疑的好。
公孫夢龍急了道：避什麼嫌疑，如果藏珍圖丟失了，你我都脫不了干係，這可不是開玩笑的。劉元麟哈哈大笑道：大夫過慮了，你付了定金，我也收了定金，藏珍圖的得失與我們都沒有什麼關係了。Why doesn't it matter?至少沒有我的關係，我用不著太緊張！公孫夢龍急得直挑腳，幾次想插進去，總是被黃英英姊妹擋了出去，而方衣一支劍，力戰五人，毫無怯意，天南三煞對戰局十分注意，看了一會，突然陸中揚喝道：大家都停手，鵬兒！你們退下站好位置陸大鵬等人動作很快，每個人都虛晃一劍，迅速分開站好，把方衣圍在中間，陸中揚才沉聲問道：閣下身手不錯，江湖道上，還沒見過如此年輕的高手，請教尊姓。方！方朋友台甫如何稱呼呢？衣！朋友真是金口難開，大號呢？without!沒什麼？劉元麟微笑道：沒就是沒有！不過人家倒是送了他一個雅號，叫做一字魔劍，是位新出道的少年高手。
陸中揚微異道：劉大人認識他？劉元麟笑道：不認識，是聽別人說的，這位方朋友曾經在金陵、丹陽、六合幾處，憑一支劍連殺了九名高手，那還不算轟動，最轟動的一件事是前兩天的，可能還沒有傳出去，大內西廒副總教練仇匡在江中被剜掉雙目，遺屍江上，連內相中第一高手洪承德也在他手下吃了虧。公孫夢龍驚叫道：他就是那個姓方的小子？劉元麟道：應該不會錯吧。江湖上姓方的年輕高手沒有幾個，姓方的尤少，幾下歸攏，不可能還有別人了。公孫夢龍道：他跟許天威是一路的。劉元麟笑道：這個很難說，以前可能是一路，現在他居然一個人前來奪取藏珍圖，很可能就不一路了。陸中揚嘿嘿一笑道：朋友的身手固然值得佩服，膽氣尤為豪壯，可是你到天南三煞嘴邊搶肉吃，未免打錯了主意，你初出江湖，也許不知道我們
話才說到這裡，門外有人接口道：你們這三個鼠輩，居然敢擾到老夫的門口，還敢吹大氣天南三煞臉色都是︱變，還沒有答話，門外已進來一堆人，許天威與路金花居首，後面則是兩老一小，兩個老人雖是普通村民裝束，卻是精神矍鑠，那個小的竟然是另一邊村店中的小夥計，此刻一改畏縮之態，手持一條蟋龍金絲軟棒笑嘻嘻地道：你們這批沒長眼的殺才，三柳莊豈是你們撒野的地方，還不乖乖的跪下認罪。陸中揚微微一怔道：我們真是有眼不識泰山了，沒想到小小一個山村，竟是臥虎藏龍之地，小朋友，三柳莊在什麼地方呀？就是這裡，此地原名翠雲嶺，我們移居此地後才改的名字，雖然外人不知道，你們卻該打聽清楚呀。陸中揚仍是不解地問道：三柳莊有什麼特別的？小夥計微微一笑道：你們真是白跑了多年的江湖，連行情都摸不清楚，武林中以三柳為名的能有幾家？劉元麟一驚道：敢莫是柳林四聖？劉元麟說柳林四聖之名，全殿皆驚！
柳林四聖名傳江湖，他們雖是四個人，卻只有三姓，那就是雲龍三現柳文佩、震天劍柳依娘兄妹，與穿雲柳卜上清，長青柳歐陽不凋，兩人以柳為姓，兩人以柳為號，合稱為柳林四聖，雖是異姓，卻情同手足，幾十年來始終在一起，幾年前，因為卜上清的關係，曾經在左良玉的軍府作幕，迭出奇謀，給了李自成等一般流寇很大的打擊，後來因為左良玉剛愎自用，對江湖人不太重視，他們才怫然而去，沒想到會寄隱在這裡！那小夥計指著自己的鼻子道：我叫歐陽樂平，這是柳爺爺與卜爺爺。我爺爺在店裡管帳，同時看死那個姓洪的太監，不讓他作怪，我柳姑婆則在外面料理你們那些狗腿子，現在你們可以乖乖地認罪了吧。天南三煞聽了那小夥計的話，臉色都變得很難看，卻沒有作聲，陸大鵬卻不知厲害擺劍逕刺道：你們算是什麼東西。歐陽樂平金絲軟棒一抖一撩，不但將劍磕開，還纏住了陸大鵬的踝處，輕輕一拖，把他摔了下去，跟著一腳踏住他的胸膛，彎腰將那把銀票掏了出來道：這是藏珍圖的價款，你們沒有了藏珍圖，自然也不夠資格收款，還是交給我吧，滾回去！一把抓起陸大鵬的衣服，硬生生地將他摔了出來，陸大鵬出手就受制，勉強站了起來，卻不敢再蠢動了。
陸中揚見自己的兒子經不起人家一招，未免臉上無光，狠狠的盯了他一眼，黃友直卻笑著道：原來是四位前輩駕到，真是失禮得很，這筆藏珍是準備用來接濟左良玉軍餉的，那個傢伙不學無術，跟四位鬧得很不愉快，四位難道沒有受夠悶氣，還要幫他插手不成？雲龍三現柳文佩冷笑一聲：我們與左良玉不和是一回事，跟今天扯不上關係怎麼扯不上關係呢？柳文佩道：今天我們是幫許老弟追回失鏢。歐陽樂平接著道：許爺爺是柳爺爺的好朋友，他的鏢局在我們附近出了事，我們怎麼能不管呢？黃友直忙道：我們劫鏢是在銅官山柳文佩道：不錯，可是許老弟登門求助，你們剛好又找上門來，我們只好順手為老友一盡道義。然後又回頭問方衣道：方大俠，藏珍圖得手了囉？方衣點點頭，從懷中取了出來，柳文佩道：你交給許老弟好了，許老弟，說句良心話，左良玉那個人絕非將才，再加上朝綱不振，權奸當道，這筆銀子去了也成不了什麼事，我們對國事灰心透了，這次完全是看你的面子。
許天威接過藏珍圖，異常感激地道：左帥雖非將才，到底是朝中唯一能為老百姓做點事的人，小弟一則是受人之託，再則也是略盡心力，謝謝幾位老哥哥了。柳文佩道：別謝我們，該謝這位方大俠才對，要不是他機智過人，把藏珍圇先弄到手，我們就算殺了這些人，也不一定能逼出藏珍圖的下落，他們都是要錢不要命的傢伙，而且鬼計多端，花樣百出。許天威忙道：是！對方大俠仗義援手，我當然更是萬分感激，他不但幫了我們的忙，還救了我們的命。方衣只笑了一笑，柳文佩道：東西既然到了手，我們就走吧，你要把藏珍送到地頭，還得費一番心血呢。許天威道：小弟正在耽心，能不能柳文佩連忙搖頭道：不能！我們已經發誓不理江湖上的事了，這次是例外，我們只能盡力到此。
許天威黯然無語，路金花卻道：柳前輩，天南三煞還殺死我們鏢局裡的許多人，連我哥哥在內。柳文佩笑著頭道：對不起，路姑娘，這一部分我們雲莫能助，妳要報仇我們不會攔阻，但也無法幫忙，江湖上怨仇相報，我們實在管不了許多。許天威忙道：金花！當鏢客就是拿性命拚生活的，闖得過賺銀子，闖不過認命，沒什麼好說的。路金花急了道：那就算了不成。許天威一嘆道：金花，我們能保全性命，得回失鏢是托天之幸了，目前我們還有任務在身，慢慢再說吧。路金花還要開口，許天威道：金花，現在只有我們兩個人了，能不能將鏢貨送到地頭還是問題，妳千萬不能任性，算是師父求妳好不好。路金花這才不開口了，柳文佩這才朝天南三煞道：今天的事我們攬下來了，三位有什麼意見？黃友直搶著道：那還有什麼話說，以四位在武林中的聲望，就是吩咐一句，也沒有誰敢不聽，但敝人久聞四位潔身自好，不理江湖糾紛柳文佩道：不錯，我們這個宗旨還是沒變，這次是你們自找麻煩，吵到我們的店裡不說，居然還鬧上門來了。黃友直笑道：我們早知道四位在此隱居，有天大的膽子也不敢前來打擾，不知不罪，敝人只想請示一下，四位對這件事是包攬到底，還是到此為止？
柳文佩沉吟片刻才道：包攬到底怎麼說，到此為止又是怎麼個說法呢？黃友直笑道：憑柳林四聖的招牌如果包攬到底，我們就人情做到底，趕緊通知江湖上的朋友，都別插手了，如果只是到此為止，我們自然就不必巴結了。柳文佩是何等人物，豈有聽不懂他話裡面的意思，哈哈一笑道：閣下何必說得那麼好聽，這件事除了你們之外，還會有誰知道？乾脆說你們捨不得放手就是了。黃友直乾笑道：柳老英雄這話可就太冤枉人了，建文藏珍早已不是個秘密，尤其是交給天威鏢局之後，差不多消息靈通一點的人都知道了，有道是財帛動人心，那個不眼紅？萬一許老鏢主又失了手，四位不明就裡，又歸到我們頭上了，豈不是太過冤枉，所以我們必須問問清楚。此人不愧詭計多端，能言善道，居然辯得頭頭是道，柳文佩倒是無言可駁，想了一下道：既承各位見情，柳某乾脆討份人情，但是柳某也跑過江湖，懂得光棍不擋財路的道理，許老弟的鏢保到襄陽，以後自有左良玉的幕下武士接管，在襄陽以前，希望各位高抬貴手
黃友直立刻道：這還有什麼話說，我們絕對遵從。天南三煞自然不依，但是他們以黃友直為智囊，聽黃友直答應了，想到他必然另有妙計，都沒有吭氣。歐陽樂平卻指著懷中的那批銀票笑道：這筆銀子雖然是我們截下來了，我爺爺他們絕不會落入私囊，現在黃河氾濫，天下大饑，哀鴻遍野，朝廷視若無睹，我們都不忍心，因此打算移作賑災之用，好在錢是官家的，用來賑災也是替當朝的盡一份責任，各位想必不會反對吧。黃友直連忙道：應該的！應該的！老實說，我們劫取建文藏珍，也是想將大部份移作賑災之用。柳文佩冷笑道：真的嗎？那倒是非常難得。黃友直笑道：陸王史三位仁兄早年在綠林中雖然名聲不太好，晚年卻頗為懺悔，很想做點善事，所以才有劫鏢之舉，否則以他們三位早年的蓄積，雖不說富甲一方，衣食絕對沒有問題了，何必還要出來淌混水呢？柳文佩明知他言不由衷，卻也不好意思一點穿，只有笑了一下，拱拱手道：那就多多承讓了，既是做善事，誰經手都一樣，只是許老弟受人之託，站在江湖道義上，也不能叫他為難，請各位手下留情，放他一馬吧。黃友直道：我們絕對沒問題，只是大內可能不肯放鬆，這一方面我們也無能為力，許老鏢頭還是要多多小心。
歐陽樂平傲然道：諒他也不敢，我爺爺已經出手懲治他了，除非他不要命，否則總有他好受的。黃友直笑道：有長青柳歐陽前輩出頭，那些閹監們想來也不敢違抗的，那就請許老鏢頭趕緊上路吧。柳文佩點點頭，遂率領眾人出了廟門，黃友直一直恭送出門，等他們走遠了，臉上露出了微笑，陸中揚忙問道：黃兄！那份藏珍圖到底是不是真的呢？黃友直笑道：貨真價實，老是用假貨騙人可不行。公孫夢龍急了道：那怎麼能給他們拿去呢？黃友直道：不給行嗎，柳林四聖武功俱入化境，誰也惹不起他們，倒不如送他們一個人情的好。王伯虎大急道：黃兄！我還以為你給出的是假圖呢，早說是真圖，我們拚了命也得幹他一下。黃友直微笑道：王兄把小弟也看得太沒用了，如果真到要拚命的時候，小弟豈會如此好說話，柳林四聖武功雖高，三位的追魂索命暗器，加上小弟的幾手破劍法縱不能必勝，至少也得給他們一點顏色瞧瞧陸中揚道：黃老弟，你別賣關子了，藏珍圖真本已失，你到底有什麼辦法可以追回來？
黃友直笑笑道：他們得去的雖然是真圖，但已經被我竄改過，現在真正知道藏珍地點的，只有我一個人。天南三煞都大笑起來，陸中揚道：高！真高！我說黃老弟計賽諸葛，一定會有高明的計策。黃友直道：真圖給他們最好，讓大家的注意力都集中在他們身上，我們卻可以利用這個空檔從容挖取藏珍，只是有一點，我們的經費被那小鬼撈了去，一時籌措不易，劉大俠，這恐怕要從你那兒先挪一挪了。劉元麟連忙道：那可不行，我總不能毫無保障。黃友直道：損失算我們的，只向閣下先行挪借而已，等取得藏珍後，我們仍然照原約交出圖樣，那時官方該付出的五十萬兩，由大俠一人獨佔好了。劉元麟冷笑道：劉某可不是小孩子，假如事後各位全無好處，劉某怎知各位一定肯履行諾言呢？
陸中揚差一點就要發作了，還是黃友直笑了一下道：這倒也是，千不該，萬不該，我們先玩了兩套花樣，弄得大俠對我們毫無信心，這樣吧，我們儘量縮節開支，約摸有個十萬兩也將就夠了，餘下的我們自行設法墊補，劉大俠從二十五萬兩裡面挪借出十萬兩總該可以了吧。劉元麟想了一下，覺得這十萬兩非付不可，雖然他全心全意不讓這批人得一點好處，但藏珍之秘目前僅黃友直一個人知道了，原圖經過竄改的事許天威他們還不知道，就是知道了也沒有用，現在只有盯牢這批人，才能找到藏珍，要得到藏珍，必須讓他們從速行事
黃友直已經猜透了他的心事，乾脆點了出來道：劉大俠，十萬兩銀子還難不倒我們，只是我們自己籌了出來，就不必再顧到先前的交易了，給不給在你。劉元麟只得取出銀票，數出十萬兩，還裝作地道：這十萬兩可得從餘數中扣除的，另外那半數，你們只有十五萬兩了，而且你們再交出的圖樣，可得像真的一樣。黃友直笑道：那還有問題嗎，現在連真圖都不真了，除了我姓黃的，天下再也沒有人能指出藏珍地點了。陸大鵬伸手要去接銀票，黃友直笑道：陸世兄，還是由我來保管吧，你們年輕人做事太衝動，身懷巨款，怎麼能任性行動呢，你如果不過去，有令尊等幾位守著，說什麼也不會讓人撈走那一票。陸大鵬臉上一紅，將手縮了回來，黃友直由劉元麟手裡接銀票，劉元麟卻十分警惕，將銀票放在桌子上，自己退了兩步，黃友直笑了一下，逕直拿起銀票點了一下道：劉大人！咱們這是挪借，可不是上當舖，那有先扣利息的，十萬兩該是兩百張，你怎麼只給了一百九十五張。劉元麟又退後了一步冷笑道：黃先生，你可別在我身上打主意，銀票是我點出的，一張都不少。
口中說著話，雙手已作了待敵的準備，黃友直道：劉大俠太多心了，我們的交易仰仗之處仍多，怎麼會對你有二心呢，這銀票確是少了五張，許是你點錯了。劉元麟道：要錯最多一兩張，絕不會少五張，就是這麼多，你們誰都不許靠近我身邊來。黃友直朝他一示眼色，口中道：英英！妳發瘋了，憑妳那點本事，也動得了劉大俠嗎，還不快退下。他的眼色好像是對劉元麟身後的人所發，劉元麟卻不上這個當，冷笑一聲道：黃先生，你別騙我回頭，令媛明明站在這邊，背後可沒有人。黃友直哈哈一笑道：劉大俠不愧是老江湖，什麼花樣都玩不過你，看來我們只好就這十萬兩銀子辦事了，英英！美美，妳們站著吧，劉大俠早已有了準備他的兩個女兒在黃友直作了眼色，擺出那套空城計後，果有溜到劉元麟身後的意思，可是被黃友直一聲喝止，她們就站住了，劉元麟冷笑道：黃先生，可見你沒安著好心，劉某不多奉陪了，公孫大夫，我們走！
公孫夢龍見天南三煞都有出手之意，嚇得呆立當場，不敢輕動。劉元麟道：你不走我可要走了。黃友直臉色一沉道：劉元麟，你要是能把銀票帶走，就算你本事，這不是我們言而無信，而是你自己有問題。劉元麟的身子直往後退，雙目緊盯著每一個人，快到門口時，天南三煞的手都舉了起來，準備發出暗器，劉元麟連忙舞起劍花，護住門面，他知道三煞的暗器厲害，身上有洪承德給的軟甲保護，頭臉之處，仍是大意不得。劍花舞開之後，他身子一矮，正想滾出門去，忽地腦後有一陣涼風，他還沒叫出一聲，一顆腦袋已滾落下來。出手的正是季紅薇，她的位置本就靠近廟門，黃友直在示眼色時，就是通知她準備移動，掩護她的行動，讓她能掩到門口。天南三煞自然都看見了，所以也配合行動，假意要發出暗器，實際在逼劉元麟不敢回頭，倒退出門而已。
季紅薇一劍劈下劉元麟的首級，彎腰在屍身上掏出銀票，朝黃友直一笑道：黃老伯，我還行吧。黃友直大笑道：行！而且棒極了，左手劍不是個簡單的人物，除了賢姪女這等機智，還真殺不了他。季紅薇笑道：那還是老伯指揮得妙，二位姐姐配合得也好，否則我也到不了他身後。陸中揚大笑道：都好！天南三煞加上黃老弟，可以湊成四煞了，紅薇與兩位賢姪女也好，不說一句話，不用一點暗號，居然配合得天衣無縫，輕而易舉就把一代名家左手劍給解決了，憑這一手還怕不能稱尊江湖嗎？黃友直笑道：今天是沒有準備，又剛巧撞到四個老厭物的家門口來了，才損失了一票，下次有機會，我非要鬥鬥柳林四聖，憑空叫他們撈了一票去，實在不甘心。陸中揚笑道：當然，我們三弟兄又豈是甘心受氣的，今天要不是你老弟搶先說了話，我們早就幹上了，柳林四聖武功雖高，但要勝過我們三種絕命利器還不容易。
黃友直從季紅薇手中取過另一疊銀票笑道：失之東榆，收之桑隅，算來我們並不吃虧，還賺了一倍，因為這一筆款子我倒是打算給劉元麟的，只怪他沒福氣。陸中揚道：黃老真準備給他？黃友直道：不錯，挖取藏珍並不費事，但大內的人一直盯著，我們還是很討厭，所以我打算分潤他一筆，叫他利用職權，給大家行個方便的，何況這是額外的收入，不用我們掏腰包，現在只有麻煩公孫先生多費點心了。公孫夢龍自從劉元麟被殺後，早已嚇得面無人色，吃吃地道：這個我可無能為力，西廠的武士不歸我統轄，都是仇匡與劉元麟負責，仇匡一死，大權都在劉元麟手中，你們要他合作，就不該殺死他。黃友直冷笑道：公孫兄真是幼稚，如果劉元麟肯誠心合作，我們怎會要他的命呢。他接受了銀票，不是有合作之意嗎？本來我是很相信他，可是許天威一到，我就認為他不可靠了，公孫兄可曾想到其中的緣故嗎？公孫夢龍恍然道：對了！許天威就是在店裡偽稱姓路的那個老頭兒，那個女的就是他的女兒。
許天威沒有女兒，那是他的弟子路金花，幸虧我們在客棧附近也佈有眼線，看見他們進店，既是受命截取藏珍圖，應該認識他們，他居然裝作不認識而有意包庇，顯見得與許天威是一伙的，我才非殺他不可！公孫夢龍道：你們既然知道他與許天威是一伙的，為什麼還要跟他談條件合作呢？黃友直笑道：陸兄他們身份太明顯，監視工作是由我擔任的，我看見許天威他們投店，卻並不認識他們，遠遠的看了一下，見他們與劉元麟有說有笑，就趕回到這裡來部署下一步了，直到柳林四聖伴同許天威現身，我知道劉元麟有了問題，還能放過他嗎？陸中揚笑道：我還以為黃老弟捨不得銀子才殺他的呢，想不到還有這層緣故，那真是太幸運了，不然藏珍圖被竄改的消息走漏，我們豈不又徒增許多麻煩。黃友直笑了一下，然後朝公孫夢龍道：建文的傳國玉璽在兄弟處保管，偽造一份詔書是絕對沒問題的，我們的交易照舊，而且公孫兄還可以發一筆小財，官方補支的五十萬兩購圖價款，公孫兄可以留下十萬兩，唯一的條件是將大內的注意力引入歧途，不要增加我們的麻煩。
這一部份我實在無能為力。現在可行了，公孫兄可以據實回報，就說藏珍圖已為柳林四聖出面強行取回，交還給許天威了，繼續在他身上著手，最好是慢一點，等他將藏珍圖交到襄陽，由左良玉的幕下高手接管後，大內再發動搶奪，這樣必須動用大批的人力，再也沒精神來注意我們了。可是劉元麟的死如何交代呢？算在柳林四聖頭上，公孫兄不妨誇大其詞，說柳林四聖出頭包攬此事，洪承德一定會從京中趕調大批人手西下，我估計那批人到達時，許天威也恰好交到了地頭，左良玉的幕客中不乏好手，勢將引起一場龍爭虎鬥，我們就在不知不覺間將藏珍取到手，然後再向你連絡，兜售那份雖非原物卻絕對正確的藏珍圖，豈不皆大歡喜。公孫夢龍沉吟片刻才道：我現在已別無選擇，只有走這條路了，但是希望各位一定要幫忙到底。
黃友直大笑道：絕對沒問題，幾張紙還能賣個四十萬，我們怎會放棄這筆大生意？只是有一點，公孫兄已經領略到我們的厲害了
