The moonlight is like water, reflecting a burst of silver waves on the river. In the moonlight, Jiaoshan looks particularly majestic and deep, with green trees. When the Yangtze River reaches Zhenjiang, it suddenly opens up. The river is wide and the water flows smoothly. In addition, the Jinshan and Jiaoshan mountains standing in the middle of the river make the situation of Zhenjiang city even more dangerous and extraordinary. In the first year of Song Deyou, Wen Tianxiang, the prime minister of the right, was sent to join the Yuan army to negotiate a peace. The Yuan army detained Prime Minister Wen and carried Wen Tianxiang to Zhenjiang. The world was shocked.

The river still looks so calm, but there is a turbulent undercurrent in the calm river. From the surface, it seems that nothing happened in Zhenjiang City, but there is also a turbulent undercurrent in the dark. In the bustling and bustling city of Zhenjiang, there is only one more person, but this person can cause an uproar. Prime Minister Wen has been arrested and has arrived in Zhenjiang. Everyone looks gloomy, especially the benevolent and righteous people in the rivers and lakes. At this time, under a cliff in Jiaoshan, the river beat against the rocks, making rhythmic sounds, stirring up waves of waves. Under a big rock protruding from the cliff, a small boat was moored. The body was shaking constantly, there was only one square table in the cabin, and an oil lamp was lit on the square table, the light was dim, reflecting a shadow on the faces of the three people beside the table.

The three of them were silent, and a piece of parchment was spread on the table, on which there were criss-cross streets. All three of them looked at the paper with solemn expressions! Of the three people, two were middle-aged, one was tall and thin, the other was short and fat, and the third was a young man with very high cheekbones and a heroic face. The short and fat middle-aged man moved his fingers slowly on the paper, and finally stopped at one place. He said: This street, three days ago, was guarded by Yuan soldiers at both ends. A carriage, airtight, drove into a huge house in the street. The door of the house was wide open. After the carriage drove in, the door of the house was immediately closed.

The young man raised his eyebrows and said, "In this way, Prime Minister Wen is imprisoned in this huge mansion?" The short fat man's appearance was very funny. When he frowned, his facial features were all crowded together.He said in a deep voice: "Maybe, but we have to wait for Hu Bing to come to be sure. He is a local ghost in Zhenjiang City, and he will definitely be able to find out the real news." The tall and thin middle-aged man said: Strange, he should be here! The three of them raised their heads together, and the young man opened the window of the cabin. At this moment, a sound of oars was heard. On the river full of silver waves, a boat swayed down the river. Very quickly, in the blink of an eye, he came to the front.The short, fat middle-aged man shouted: Is that brother Hu?

There seemed to be three or four people on the boat, but no one answered, but the incoming boat was approaching quickly, and someone at the stern dropped an anchor and fell into the river. The three people on the boat were stunned when they saw this situation, and each stretched out their hands to press their waists.The young man was impatient, and with a choking sound, he shook out a seventeen-section three-pronged copper whip around his waist. But just at this moment, someone on the boat said: "Wu, are the people on the boat waiting for Mr. Hu Binghu?" The three people on the boat looked at each other, and the short fat man said: Exactly, where is Hu Erye, why is he missing?

In the cabin of the incoming ship, a man emerged. Under the moonlight, one could see the handsome face of the man. On the left and right foreheads, there were red marks of the boss. It looked very frightening. He had a pair of His eyes rolled around, and he said, "Second Master Hu is injured and is in the cabin!"Please come and have a look! The three people on board were all taken aback, at this moment, there were bursts of groans coming from the cabin. The three could hear that it was Hu Bing's voice they were waiting to bring the news.The three of them immediately got out of the cabin, jumped over, and arrived on the boat.

When they came to the boat, the two people who were squatting at the stern also stood up at this moment.The three of them didn't care, and the person with the red face also retreated into the cabin at this time.The three of them walked in together, but the cabin was completely dark. In the darkness, only Hu Bing's groans could be heard, and it was obvious that he was seriously injured. The short fat man said anxiously: "My friend, please hold the lamp!" He had just said a word when his eyes suddenly lit up, and the two torches flickered at the same time and lit two lamps.

When the lights came on, everyone could see the situation in the cabin, and the three people who came in were shocked! In the cabin, besides the blue-faced man, there were four other people.Three of the four people were holding on to a blood man. One stood behind the blood man, grabbed the blood man's hair, and grabbed the blood man's head. The scars are no longer human. He was naked, and there were seventy or eighty dark purple welts on his body, at least seventy to eighty. Blood beads burst out one by one on the welts, making human hair stand on end. What shocked the three of them even more was that when the blood man's head was grabbed by force, they recognized that the dying blood man was none other than Hu Bing they were waiting for!

At this time, I saw Hu Bing's lips trembling, and an extremely weak voice came out of his mouth.His already scattered eyes stopped on the short and fat middle-aged man, and his voice really made people's heart palpitate.He said: "Daxia Zhao, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I had to confess your location. Don't blame me!"Seeing that Hu Bing had become a blood man, the three of them were already stunned. It wasn't until Hu Bing said these words that the three of them were shocked. The young man looked back immediately, and saw that three people had already blocked the escape route at the cabin door, and in front of them, including the one with the red face, there were as many as four people!

Hu Bing only said two sentences, but those two sentences were enough for the three of them to understand what happened. It was Hu Bing who lost his hand when he was inquiring about where Prime Minister Wen was imprisoned, and fell into the hands of the enemy. He couldn't bear to be tortured, so he confessed the location of the three of them! When the three of them thought of this, they were startled and angry in their hearts, and at the same time, they let out a sharp roar. At the same time, there were two clanging sounds, and the two long swords were also unsheathed, and the three of them stood back to back together.

The man with the red mark on his face sneered sinisterly.The person holding Hu Bing's hair loosened, Hu Bing's body fell straight down, with a bang, he fell on the deck, his eyes turned white, he was already dead. The man with the red mark on his forehead sneered and said, "You three, do you still want to do something?" The young man yelled angrily: You eat a whip first! With a sinking of his wrist, the seventeen-section steel whip in his hand was raised straight up, and the sharp clusters of the whip pierced the opponent's chest. The man sneered again, flipped his hands over, and with a clang, he grabbed the tip of the steel whip in his hand! The young man's seventeen-section steel whip, each two inches long, is triangular in shape and extremely sharp.The man reached out and grabbed the steel whip as if nothing had happened. The three of them were all startled, and when they looked closely, they saw that the man with the red face was wearing a pair of gloves made of extremely thin platinum thread. The gloves looked extremely soft, so his fingers could stretch. Free, but not afraid of being hurt by weapons!When they saw this pair of gloves, the three of them were shocked, and immediately thought of someone. The young man lost his voice first: You, you are the golden palm demon Louhun! The man with the red face smiled coldly, and said: Your Excellency is probably Du Rufeng Du Shaoxia who has been quite popular in recent years!These two must be Zhao Daxia and Zeng Erxia, who are known as Dajiang Shuangjie. I don't know if the three are going to fight, or go back with Lou? When the Golden Palm Heavenly Demon was speaking, he was still holding the tip of Du Rufeng's seventeen-section steel whip in one hand, and Du Rufeng had repeatedly used force in secret, but Lou Hun didn't move at all, and he would never take back the steel whip. Dajiang Shuangjie and Du Rufeng knew that among the seven opponents, one of them was Louhun, the Golden Palm Demon, and their hearts were already cold, because this Golden Palm Demon is the number one master in the underworld, and it has long been rumored that he voted for the Tartars. , but there is no reason to prove it, and now there is no doubt about it! However, the three of them still shouted in unison: "Naturally do it!" Lou Hun waited for the three of them to exit, and immediately let out a strange cry, and shook the back of his hand upwards. For a while, Du Rufeng was reluctant to withdraw his whip, so when Lou Hun shook his arm upwards, a strong force rushed towards him. The whole person was shaken upwards, flew up, and hit the cabin roof with a bang. Du Rufeng knew something was wrong when his body was shaken up, but he didn't wait for him to struggle any more, his body had already hit the cabin roof, but he saw the opportunity very quickly, as soon as he bumped into it, he knew that the whip was a snatch Not coming back, he let go of his right hand, stretched out both palms, and hit the roof of the cabin with both palms bang bang. There was a crashing sound, a big hole had been pierced through the roof of the cabin, he bowed his body, and pierced through the hole in the roof with a bang. As soon as Du Rufeng passed through the roof of the cabin, he shouted: "Hurry up!" He was telling Dajiang Shuangjie who was still in the cabin to try to escape quickly, because there were many people on the other side, and there was an expert like Jinzhang Tianmo, he was definitely not an opponent, and if he didn't go, Hu Bing's only way out! When he was about to leave the two words, he was still in mid-air, and at this moment, there were two chi-chi sounds, and under the moonlight, two crystal rainbows shone, one in front and one in the back, and there were two crescent-shaped throwing knives, shot at him. It turned out that there were two people on the bow and stern of the ship, and it was these two people who sent the throwing knife. Du Rufeng was in mid-air, and he had lost his weapon. When he saw the flying knife hit him, he could only twist his body in mid-air. But the two flying knives came very fast, Du Rufeng just twisted his body, and the two flying knives shot him together. Du Rufeng was on one side, fell on the roof of the cabin with a bang, and rolled to the side of the boat. When he rolled and fell from the cabin, in the cabin, the sound of swords clashing and shouting could be heard endlessly, it was clear that it was the two heroes of Dajiang who had already fought the enemy. Du Rufeng jumped up, his shoulders and abdomen were already bleeding profusely, and he was seriously injured! But at the bow and stern of the boat, the two people who were flying knives just now had already passed over. Du Rufeng panted, yelled, and shrugged, and jumped into the river, splashing water. When people rushed to the side of the boat, Du Rufeng's body had already sunk into the river. At this moment, only a few loud bangs were heard one after another, and with each loud bang, a large piece of the cabin collapsed. After several loud bangs, the entire cabin collapsed. Surrounding Dajiang Shuangjie were six people who were fighting. The Golden Palm Heavenly Demon just had his hands behind his back and watched from the sidelines leisurely. How big is the place on board?The eight martial arts masters fought on the boat, and the boat swayed endlessly. The two masters of the river are excellent in water. Everyone knows that, so they surrounded the six people who fought with them. Opportunity. There was always a cold sneer on Lou Hun's face.He said: "Forget it, you two, the army is in need of you, stay to serve the army, high-ranking officials, what's wrong with you?" Dajiang Shuangjie's two long swords, Chi Chi thrust forward, forcing one person away. As soon as they forced the person in front of them away, they both jumped up. Seeing that they could grab the bow of the boat and jump into the river, but the two Wu hook swords had already attacked from behind them, forcing them to withdraw their moves. Xiangge, and their way was also blocked by the other two. While fighting, Dajiang Shuangjie yelled: What kind of army, is it the Song army or the Yuan army? Lou Hun sneered and said: "The Song army is exhausted, how can it still be called a great army? Naturally, it is the Great Yuan." Before he finished speaking, Dajiang Shuangjie rushed towards him and shouted: A traitor who is not as good as an animal! The two of them didn't say a word, and the two long swords stabbed Louhun straight. They cared about attacking Louhun, but they couldn't care about the weapons attacking them. There were many people besieging them, although their swords were fast, but just after they struck out, Zhao Da's back was hit by a Xuanhua axe.Zeng Er's side was also stabbed in with a single knife.But the two swords of the two still stab forward! However, they were mortally wounded, the two swords stabbed out, but they were already powerless, when the tip of the sword was three or five inches away from Lou Hun's chest, the two of them fell straight forward. The two swords pierced the deck, and with two puffs, they pierced through the deck, and the man also fell on the deck. Lou Hun seemed to have already known that the two swords of Dajiang Shuangjie would definitely miss him. He stood with his hands behind his back and never even moved. It wasn't until the two were on the deck that he sneered and said: Turn them over! Immediately, two people turned Dajiang Shuangjie over. These two martial arts masters who are famous in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River have already released more energy and less energy. Seeing that they will not survive, Lou Hun said coldly: "There is another one!" ? The two throwing knives said in unison: If you get hit by our flying knives and jump into the water, you will die more than live! Lou Hun sneered, looked up at the rock protruding from the river, and said, "Put the two of them, including Hu Lao Er's body, on that rock together. There have been a lot of things going on in the past few days, so it's okay." Ask anyone who wants to come here to make trouble to see it, and those who are not afraid of death just come! The seven or eight people on the boat agreed in unison. Someone took the bodies of Dajiang Shuangjie and Hu Bing, jumped onto the rock, leaned the bodies of the three of them against the cliff, pulled the mountain vines, and tied them up. The bodies of the three of them were tied to the tree so that they would not fall. In the distance, the city of Zhenjiang can be seen, lit up with lights, but Dajiang Shuangjie and Hu Bing can no longer see anything, only others can see them.The boats passing by on the river could see three corpses on that rock, and most of the people who saw it were silent, although they all knew in their hearts why the three died. The sky was bright, and the boulders on the beach were washed very clean by the river water that washed up on the beach from time to time. A boat approached slowly and leaned against the shallows. A burly man on the bow lifted the iron anchor vigorously. With a shake of his arms, the iron anchor flew up with a whistling sound. into the water, splashing Lao Gao's water. The big man pulled hard again, then turned his head and shouted: "The boat is berthed, come out quickly, everyone!" The big man spoke with a very strong Shandong accent, he just finished calling, and then he heard a burst of laughter from the front cabin, the door curtain was lifted, and two girls came out. Of the two girls, one was tall and the other was a little shorter, both of them were only about eighteen or nineteen years old, and they were dressed in floral dresses, smiling while brushing the hair that fell down from their foreheads. The slender one shouted: Brother Dali, have you arrived in Zhenjiang yet? The big man smiled and said, "No, where is the old man?"Ask them if they are going to town immediately, or what? Suddenly there was another strange laugh from the middle cabin, saying: I'm afraid I can't enter the city! Following the weird voice, a thin man walked out of the cabin.The skinny man was really pitifully thin, but his clothes were surprisingly big, so it was as if a bamboo pole was supporting the clothes, he shook and walked out. The two girls pouted immediately, and said: Uncle Zhong is talking about spoiling the fun again, Zhenjiang City is a big place, if we don't go to the city immediately to perform art and find money, are we going to starve to death by the river? The skinny man called Uncle Zhong wasn't angry either, he just smiled and said: "Young girl is getting sharper and sharper. If you don't believe me, go ask your father if you are going to the city!" The two girls were stunned for a while and shouted in unison: Dad!father! The voices of the two of them were very clear and sweet. The big man had already pulled over the gangplank, stepped onto the shore, and said to himself: "Even if you don't go into the city, you have to go ashore for a walk. You were suffocated to death on the boat!" As he spoke, he walked up the diving board. He was a big and burly figure, probably weighing two hundred catties, and the diving board creaked and creaked under the pressure. At this time, the two young girls also came out from the rear cabin to welcome a hale and hearty old man with white hair. The old man came to the cabin, glanced at the big man who had already reached the shore, and shouted: Dali, don't go ashore! The big man replied on the shore: I just walked on the shore! As if he was afraid of being pulled into the boat, he hurried forward a few steps and came to a pile of rocks. Suddenly, he let out a strange cry! The big man's voice was already shockingly loud, but his loud yell was truly thrilling, it startled the few people on board, the short girl immediately stood up and said, "Brother Dali , You want to die, the noise and screams are scary! The big man had already turned around, the rising sun just happened to shine on his face, making his face very pale.He opened his mouth wide, pointed to a crack in the two piles of rocks, but couldn't say a word, the thin man raised his eyebrows and said, "What did Dali see?" The white-haired old man frowned, shook his head, and said: There is really no way, such a big man who can lift a stone load weighing three hundred catties is as timid as a mouse. When he spoke up to this point, he raised his voice and asked: Dali, you, what did you see? That big man has no name and no surname, because he was born with supernatural power, so everyone called him Dali. Although he is tall and powerful, he is as timid as a little girl. His face became more and more ugly, his hand was still pointing at the rock, until the old man asked, he said: "One, one dead man!"A dead man! He yelled loudly, both the old man and the thin man were taken aback.The two rushed off the boat together, and when they reached the shore, they covered their faces with their hands vigorously, not daring to look forward.The two girls on the boat also looked quite panicked. These five people, including the white-haired old man, are by no means heroes, heroes in the world. It's true, they also went to the rivers and lakes, but they were just troupes in the rivers and lakes. Speaking of the Song family troupe, they are well-known in the towns and villages north of the river. They have brought a lot of joy to adults and children, and won a lot of praise. The white-haired old man was surnamed Song, so he was naturally the class leader. His name was Song Jin, and the thin man was Song Jin's good friend, and his name was Zhong Dengtian. The two young girls were cousins, and the tall one was Song Jin's daughter, whose maiden name was Yu'er.The shorter one is Song Yuer's cousin, her parents died when she was young, and she followed her uncle through the rivers and lakes, her name is Bai Yueming.There are five people in a team, but it's fun. At this time, Song Jin and Zhong Dengtian rushed to the big rock, looked behind the big rock, and saw a person, half of his body was on the shore, his legs were not in the water.The man's hands and ten fingers stayed on the river beach together, as if he had struggled to get here and wanted to climb up the river beach, but he even used up his last bit of strength, so he had to pass out here. On that person's body, there was still traces of blood oozing out continuously, floating outward along the flow of the river.Song Jin and Zhong Dengtian are all veterans, when they saw this situation, they said in unison: This man is not dead yet, quickly help him up! As the two talked, they had already climbed up the big rock. Song Jin and Zhong Dengtian climbed over the boulder, jumped down the river bank, and helped the man up. I saw the man's face was like gold paper, there was a wound on the shoulder and abdomen, and blood was still oozing, Song Jin stretched out his hand to check the man's breath, and after taking a breath, Song Jin raised his head and shouted: Dali, come and help! It's okay if he didn't bark, but Dali just covered his face and stood still, when he barked, Dali gave a strange cry, backed up again and again, shaking his hands wildly, said: No, no, I'm afraid of death! Song Jin was angry and funny, and cursed: You bastard, he never died, but was seriously injured! Dali still hesitated, not daring to go forward. Song Jin and Zhong Dengtian had no choice but to support the man on either side, crossed the boulder, and walked forward. At this time, Song Yuer and Bai Yueming also came down from the boat. They looked at the man carried by Song Jin and Zhong Dengtian, and saw that he was dying. He was more dead than alive, but it could still be seen that, The man was young and handsome. Song Jin and Zhong Dengtian helped the man to the side of the gangplank. The gangplank was very narrow and it was difficult to help the man onto the boat. Song Jin turned around again and said: Dali, what are you still doing standing there, why don't you come over to help? Dali hesitated and said: Old man, is this person really alive? Song Jin could only smile wryly, and said: Why did I lie to you? Dali was still puzzled, but he finally hesitated and walked forward. Bai Yueming was the most mischievous, seeing Dali's appearance, she was already angry and funny, when Dali took a few steps forward, she whispered: Brother Dali, be careful, if he is dead, ghosts will haunt you! One sentence frightened Dali out of his wits, he put his head in his hands and avoided it far away.Bai Yueming laughed wildly with joy. Song Jin's face darkened, and he said: "Yue girl, human life is at stake, this person can't stand the delay, yet you still come to make such a joke!" After being scolded by Song Jin, Bai Yueming made a grimace, stuck out his tongue, and didn't dare to laugh anymore. Knowing that Dali was frightened, Song Jin didn't want to come to help anymore, so he had to shoulder the man, and with Zhong Dengtian's support, he slowly boarded the boat. As soon as he got on the boat, he helped the man into the cabin, and shouted out: "Yu girl, Yue girl, don't be idle, quickly find our medicine for knife wounds, and make a bowl of thick ginger soup!" The two agreed and boarded the boat lightly and cleverly. With a mournful face on his face, Dali also gradually approached the gangplank. He was really afraid in his heart, he hesitated to get on the boat, and just lingered on the shore. At this moment, I saw four horses galloping towards the shore.The four people on the horse were all in strange shapes. The four people galloped straight to the river, reined in their horses, and stared at Dali. Dali showed these four people very uncomfortable, and he was most afraid of causing trouble, so he retracted his head, as if he wanted to retract his head into his neck so that they would not see him. Dali's situation provoked the four people immediately to laugh together, one of them pointed to Chuanyi: Is this boat yours?Where are you from?What are you doing? Stammering vigorously, he said: We came from the Fairy Temple, the Song family troupe is a performer, who doesn't know? The four people looked at each other, shook the reins together, and galloped forward again. When the person at the back passed Dali's side, he waved his whip conveniently, and slammed it on Dali's arm. The force of that whip was really not light, the sleeve was torn so hard that there was a bloodstain on the arm. Dali didn't dare to say anything, he just stretched out his hand and sucked the whip marks in his mouth. And those four people have gradually moved away. Dali naturally couldn't hear what those four people said after they drove away. The four of them galloped out while chatting, one said: Last night, Senior Lou killed Dajiang Shuangjie and Hu Laoer. It was a good idea to hang the bodies of the three of them on the river bank, and a boat came from the north. Seeing that these three people are not good, you have to think about it yourself! The other said: "Of course, otherwise, how could there be such peace in the city last night? Of course, the news of the three of them's death has already spread!" Another said: I heard that a man named Du Rufeng left at the foot of Mount Jiao last night? The last one said with a smile: That guy was hit by two flying knives by Village Master Chen, and then fell into the river. Naturally, he died more than he lived.Let's follow Senior Lou's instructions and fly along the river bank. When we see suspicious people, we will immediately attack them, lest they go into the city and cause trouble! The other three agreed together, and the four riders had already galloped away. Dali was still standing by the river, slamming his hands in resentment, and said to himself: "What's the air? Fortunately, I have thick skin and thick flesh, so I'm not afraid of being whipped!" What happened on the shore, the people in the cabin don't know anything.They helped the dying man into the cabin. Zhong Dengtian pulled the man's clothes away, the wound of the man had been soaked by the river and turned to the side, Song Jin and Zhong Dengtian couldn't help shaking their heads when they saw it. Fortunately, they are a group of performers in the rivers and lakes, and what they sell is traumatized medicine.Zhong Dengtian sprinkled a large amount of tiger bone powder, Song Jin pinched the man's teeth, poured down a small bottle of bear bile, tied up the man's two wounds, stripped the man's clothes, and used a An old quilt wrapped the man's body. At this time, Bai Yueming and Song Yu'er also walked in with ginger soup.Zhong Dengtian poured the thick ginger soup into the man's mouth again. Bai Yueming and Song Yu'er were watching from the sidelines, Bai Yueming said quickly, "Uncle, who is this person?" Song Jin didn't turn his head, he found a pack of gold lockets in the man's skirt, which weighed thirty or fifty taels, and put it on a table. He found another letter, which had been soaked in water, and the writing on the letter had all melted away, making it impossible to see what was written on it.He took a breath, and then said slowly: I don't think he is an ordinary person, he must be an expert in the martial arts. Song Wang'er frowned and said: But he is still very young! Zhong Dengtian said: "What about being young? Not everyone is like us. They spend their whole lives just performing arts. There are many young knights. There is a knight named Du Rufeng who single-handedly killed forty Tartar officers and saved Yangzhou City." The creature on the street, I heard people say that he is only in his twenties! Zhong Dengtian was talking, only to hear the man wrapped in the quilt groan. As soon as the man groaned, everyone's eyes focused on the man's face. I saw the man's blue and white lips trembling and moaning intermittently, and after a while, he opened his eyes. However, although he opened his eyes, his eyes were scattered, and it was doubtful whether he could see what was in front of him.Shortly after he opened his eyes, he closed them again. Only then did he hear him say in a very weak voice: Where am I? Bai Yueming hurriedly said: You are on our boat! The man took a few more breaths before saying again: Who are you? Zhong Dengtian said: We are entertainers! Bai Yueming hurriedly said again: "Song's class is in the north of the river, but they are a little bit famous!" When Bai Yueming said that, it seemed that she was very conceited about the Song family class. And the man's quarrel actually revealed a slight smile, and said: Yes!Song Jiaban, I have seen, there is one who walks on stilts, it can be said that he is invincible in the world, and there is another one who is really strong When he said this, he was out of breath. Song Jin hurriedly pressed his chest and said, "Stop talking!" Song Yu'er curled her lips and said, "Father, why didn't he say that we walked the rope well?" Song Jin said: You also have to see if he can go on talking, Dali, get him on the boat quickly, he looks so eye-catching on the shore! Song Yu'er turned around, got out of the cabin, and yelled a few times. Only then did Dali get on the boat, but there were still welts on his arms.Everyone was surprised when they saw it, and hurriedly asked: What's the matter? Dali said with a full face of grievance: "A few people galloped by just now, and one of them whipped me for no reason. Is this person dead or alive? His face is so ugly!" The man rested for a while, but his spirit recovered quickly. He opened his eyes again, with a bleak smile on his face, and said: Do you think I am a dead person or a living person! The man suddenly opened his mouth, Dali was shocked again, and hurriedly backed away. Zhong Dengtian stepped forward and asked: "Who is your Excellency? Why was he injured and drifted in the river?" The man sighed, looked at the three people in the cabin for a while, and then said: "My name is Du, and my name is Rufeng." As soon as the word Du Rufeng uttered, Bai Yueming and Song Yu'er uttered a scream of surprise.Zhong Dengtian and Song Jin opened their mouths, unable to close. The two girls, Bai Yueming and Song Yu'er, quickly took a step forward, opened their eyes wide, and fixed on Du Rufeng, who looked haggard, full of curiosity. Du Rufeng is a young chivalrous man who has become famous in recent years. He is famous all over the world. He only fights against Tartar military officers. A few Tartar officers who managed to escape Du Rufeng's pursuit and saved their lives remembered his appearance and ordered painters to draw them, and hung them on passages and city gates everywhere, offering a reward of a thousand taels of gold to take Du Rufeng's head. . The Song family's troupe is a troupe that travels across the town to perform arts, how could it not know Du Rufeng's name?So when they knew that the person they had rescued was actually Du Rufeng, they were both horrified and joyful for a moment, and they didn't know what to say! After a while, Bai Yueming spoke first. She pointed to Du Rufeng's head and said, "You are you. This head is worth a thousand taels of gold?" Du Rufeng raised his eyebrows, tried his best to smile, and said, "The price may have increased now, it's more than one thousand taels of gold!" Although Song Jin was old in the world, it was only at this time that he was relieved, and he hurriedly shouted: "Children, don't talk nonsense!" After being scolded, Bai Yueming pouted and remained silent.Song Jin hurriedly turned around again, and said: Dali, who were the people who galloped past just now? Dali said: Who knows who they are? Song Jin's complexion became even more serious, and he said to Zhong Dengtian: "Go to the bow of the boat and guard it." Zhong Dengtian also looked nervous, he said: Shall we leave here? Song Jin shook his head and said: That would make people suspicious! While they were talking to each other in a hurry, Du Rufeng was already struggling and wanted to sit up on the bed, he said: Everyone, I am a felon who offered a reward for arrest. Du Rufeng just sat up halfway with his body bent, when there was a sharp pain at the wound, the pain had already caused beads of sweat to roll down his forehead. up. Song Jin hurriedly stretched out his hand, pressed his chest, made him lie down again, and said solemnly: Du Xiashi, we have never found you, so we have nothing to say, since we met, you must not leave until you recover from your injuries ! Du Rufeng smiled wryly, and said, "This is Mr. Song. I really appreciate Mr. Song's kindness, but yesterday, in the next battle at Jiaoshan, I was wounded and escaped. Now the Tartars must know that I was the one who survived, and they must be searching for me, but they will inevitably get hurt Everyone, that's not good! Zhong Dengtian's expression darkened, and he said, "Du Shaoxia, what are you talking about? Could it be that you look down on us as performers?" Dali was at the side, and suddenly answered without thinking, saying: Who dares to look down on us? Du Rufeng hurriedly said: "This person speaks seriously, and I really have very important things to do, so I must not stay here for long." Song Yu'er, who hadn't spoken until now, said slowly: Even if you have something important to do, you have to wait until your injury heals before you can do it! Zhong Dengtian said: Du Shaoxia, you have risked your life several times, killed Tartars, and saved the common people. Why don't we ordinary people save you once? Zhong Dengtian's voice was really full of sincerity, Du Rufeng's heart couldn't help rushing up when he heard it, and even a few traces of blood appeared on his pale face. But he immediately sighed and said: I can't save the people, what's the use of our blood and courage alone, there is only one person who can save the country! Dali asked again in a daze: Who is that person? Du Rufeng still let out a long sigh and did not answer, Song Jin and Zhong Dengtian said in unison: "Du Shaoxia refers to Prime Minister Wen?" Du Rufeng closed his eyes and looked at his expression, as if he was extremely tired, but he still nodded slowly. Song Jin lowered his voice, and said: I heard that Master Wen was sent to discuss peace, but he was detained by the Tartars, and he was even taken to see the Emperor of the Tartars, right? Du Rufeng nodded again slowly and said: He is in Zhenjiang now! Song Jin, Zhong Dengtian, Song Yu'er, and Bai Yueming were all taken aback. They more or less knew that Prime Minister Wen raised troops to serve the king, and the people in the world were excited. There was only Dali, but he didn't realize it, and asked: "What does Prime Minister Wen do?" As soon as he spoke, Bai Yueming gave him a hard look, and was so frightened that Dali quickly stopped, not daring to say any more, Song Jin then said: "That's why Du Shaoxia got hurt?" Du Rufeng still kept his eyes closed. This time, he neither nodded nor said anything. He must know that for the benevolent and righteous people in the world, rescuing Prime Minister Wen is a life-and-death struggle. Confidential exception. Although he knew that the few people in front of him would definitely not be the stalkers of the Tartars, but he didn't want to speak out their plans casually. When Song Jin and Zhong Dengtian saw Du Rufeng's situation, they naturally understood his intentions, so they stopped asking any more questions. Song Jin said: Du Shaoxia, you are seriously injured, no matter what, you have to rest for a few days, as long as you are with us, no one will suspect you. At this moment, Du Rufeng didn't even have the ability to move, so he sighed again and said: But I want to go to the city! Song Jin and Zhong Dengtian looked at each other, Zhong Dengtian said: Du Shaoxia, if you act now, the injury will get worse, I'm afraid Du Rufeng said in a deep voice: Then I will bother you with one thing. Song Jin hurriedly said: If Du Shaoxia has orders, he will obey them. Du Rufeng said: "When you go to the city to perform, there must be a lot of onlookers. Maybe there are my friends among the onlookers." Bai Yueming said anxiously: How can we recognize him? Du Rufeng looked at Bai Yueming, tried his best to smile, and said, "Please, girl, when stepping on the rope, put this When he was talking about this, he stretched out his hand to touch his body, only to find that the clothes on his body had already been stripped off, and he couldn't help being so embarrassed that he couldn't say a word. Zhong Dengtian hurriedly said: "What is Du Shaoxia looking for?"You have all your clothes. Du Rufeng said: "It's a piece of jade pei." Bai Yueming hurriedly rummaged through Du Rufeng's wet clothes, found a piece of jade pei on a belt, half of the jade pei was snow white, and the other half was red like blood. Bai Yueming said: This is it? 杜如風道：是，姑娘將這個繫在腰上，在高處踩繩，我的朋友見了，就知道那是我的東西，一定會和你們聯絡的。 白月明忙點頭道：好，姨丈，我們這就進城去！ 宋進點頭道：杜少俠吩咐了的事，不宜遲了，玉兒，你留在船上，服侍杜少俠，來，我們收拾傢伙，這就進城去！ 宋進一吩咐，鍾登天、大力、白月明三人，就忙了起來。 宋玉兒也忙著收拾東西，不一會，應用的物件，搬了出來，紮成了兩大綑，全由大力挑著。 宋進、鍾登天、白月明一起上了岸。臨上岸之際，宋進還著實吩咐了宋玉兒幾句，著她小心看顧杜如風。 當宋進吩咐宋玉兒留在船上，看顧杜如風之際，宋玉兒只覺得那是理所當然之事，一點也沒有想到別的。 可是等到眾人全走了之後，船上只剩下她和杜如風兩個人了，她的心中，就不免有些異樣的感覺。 杜如風是名聞天下的俠士，她只不過是一個江湖賣藝班之中的人，兩者之間相去實在太遠了！ 可是這時候看來，這天下聞名的大俠士，卻和普通人完全沒有甚麼不同，他非但和普通人沒有不同，而且還那麼虛弱，傷得那麼重，需要她的照顧。 一想到這一點，宋玉兒的心中，不禁起了一陣異樣的感覺，她只是怔怔地望定了杜如風，一動也不動。 杜如風閉著眼，他雖然閉著眼，但是也可以知道，宋玉兒正在望著自己。他感到十分窘迫，船上只剩下了他和宋玉兒兩個人，他想靜下來，可是要想的事情實在太多了，使他靜不下來。 過了半晌，他緩緩嘆了口氣，睜開眼來，宋玉兒明亮的眼睛，仍然注視著他，她一看到他睜開了眼，就垂下了眼皮。 杜如風緩緩地道：你們是甚麼時候到的？ 宋玉兒低下了頭，道：天濛濛亮泊的岸。 杜如風道：你們昨天晚上，經過焦山腳下，可曾看到了 杜如風的話還未曾講完，宋玉兒已急急地道：看到了，焦山腳下，一塊凸出的大石上，綁著三個死人，在他們的身旁，還押著老大的火把，真駭人！過往的船隻，全都快快駛過，不願停留。 杜如風痛苦得臉上的肌肉，在不由自主地抽搐著，他的聲音也像是在嗚咽一樣。 他道：那三個人，昨晚是和我在一起的，他們全死了！ 宋玉兒仍是怔怔地望著杜如風，她忽然道：杜少俠，像你們這樣一身武功的人，一定是不怕死的了？ 杜如風緩緩地搖著頭，道：人哪有不怕死的，但是一件該做的事，就算明知要死，也一定得去做，這才叫俠士！ 宋玉兒道：可是每個會武的人全是那樣？ 江如風苦澀地笑了起來，道：當然不，有很多人，一身武功，可是卻用來為非作歹，甚至認賊作父，有投靠了韃子的，唉！ 宋玉兒似乎也可以領會到杜如風那一下長嘆中所包含的沉痛心情，是以她不再言談，艙中也靜了下來。 陽光燦爛，銅鑼在陽光下，閃著黃燦燦的光芒，大力一手提著銅鑼，一手握著鎚，用力地敲著。 他站在一支竹竿旁邊，那竹竿上懸著一面錦旗，旗的邊緣已經有點破爛了，但旗上所繡的宋家班三個字，卻還是那麼鮮明。 大力起勁地敲著鑼，噹噹噹的鑼聲，很快地將人從四面八方吸引了過來，一大群孩童，擠著，擁著，早已圍成了一個圈兒。 那是在大街角處的一個空地，等到人愈圍愈多時，大力放下了銅鑼。 宋進向四周圍作了一個揖，大聲道：宋家班路過貴地，獻獻醜，討一點盤纏，賣幾帖膏藥，耍好了，多賞幾聲彩，耍得不好，眾位多多包涵！他一回頭大聲叫道：伙計！ 鍾登天當時一聲答應，連翻了三個空心筋斗，翻到了宋進的身邊。 大力已經拿過一綑竹子來，那一綑竹子，每一根都有五尺來長。大力將那綑竹子解開，一根插在一根之上，轉眼之間，便接成了一副足有三丈來高的高繞。 尋常踩高蹺的也見得多了，但是三丈來高的高蹺，卻也罕見，圍觀的人，都竊竊私議起來，有見過宋家班耍技的，更是口沫橫飛，介紹起來。 鍾登天等大力接好了高蹺，他走了過去，手扶住了兩根高蹺，大力在他的背後，用力一推，只見兩根高蹺，陡地直了起來，當高蹺直起來的時候，鍾登天人就變成向前衝出去，只聽得那邊的人一聲嘩呼，人人都當要倒向前了。 可是也就在高蹺向前，微微一傾之際，鍾登天的身子突然向上一挺，已經站直，他一站直，三丈來高的高蹺，又向後倒來，後面的人，又是一陣嘩叫。 可是儘管高蹺前後搖晃，鍾登天擺動著身子，卻始終未曾倒下來。 旁觀的人，這時又明白，那是鍾登天故意在玩弄著花巧，是以立時又一疊聲地喝起采來。 鍾登天滿面笑容，雙足踏在高蹺蹬上，竟然又雙手一鬆，向四周圍作了一個揖。 高蹺擺動，更是險象環生，直到鍾登天又扶住了高蹺，這才齊齊鬆了一口氣。 鍾登天扶住了高蹺，向前走著，忽進忽退，走了片刻，在采聲不絕中，他又叫道：拿來！ 大力一聲答應，呼地一聲，拋出了一股繩索。鍾登天一伸手接住，便向街角走去，他將手中的繩子，打一個活結，結在一幢樓房的屋角上。 這時候，不但廣場中圍滿了人，連兩面街道上，幾家大酒樓的窗口中，也擠滿了人，向外看著熱鬧。 鍾登天繫好了一端，又拉著繩子搖搖晃晃，走了過來，他用高蹺跨過了人叢，到了廣場的另一邊，又將繩子的另一端，結在另一幢房子的樓角上。 那根繩子，足有四五丈長，離地足有三丈，在半空之中，懸懸盪盪。 就在這時，宋進突然向白月明大喝一聲，道：還不上去！ 白月明裝出一副害怕之狀，道：老爺子，那麼高，我實在不敢上去！ 宋進也裝著大怒，道：那麼多人看著，你不上去怎麼行？小心我斬了你！ 他一面說，一面果然抄起一把明晃晃的鋼刀來，作勢欲砍。 白月明叫著，一面以雙手遮著臉，一面滿場子奔著叫道：我不敢上去，不敢上去！ 老於看江湖人賣藝的，自然知道，宋老兄絕不是真要砍白月明，白月明也不是真的不敢上那繩索去，可是也有初次看到的，不知就裏，不禁義形於色，有幾個人，甚至走了出來，大聲斥責、呼喝著，責備宋進不該硬逼白月明上繩索去。 這時候，宋進持刀呼喝，白月明奔逃，不明就裏的途人大聲斥責，場子之中，著實亂得可以，但是突然之間，所有的聲音，都一起靜了下來。 只見白月明滿場子奔著，突然向大力奔了過去，一面奔過去時，一面還在叫道：大力哥哥，宋老爹要殺我哩，快幫我一幫！ 她叫著，直撲到了大力的身前，只見大力兩條又粗又結實的膀子陡地一箍，已將白月明纖細的身子抱住，緊跟著大喝了一聲，道：上去吧！ 他雙臂向上一送，只見白月明整個人，都已被他拋得向上直飛了起來。 白月明也在那時發出了一下驚呼聲，就在那一下驚呼聲之後，所有的嘈雜聲響，全都停了下來，只見白月明足被拋高了二丈六七高下，眼看要跌下來了。 自那麼高的半空中跌下來，豈是鬧著玩的？ 是以人人都捏了一把冷汗。 白月明被拋高了兩丈六七之後，已開始停止了上升之勢，要向下跌來了。 但也就在此際，只見白月明一伸手，在高蹺上的鍾登天，伸手將懸在半空中的繩子，陡地壓下了尺許，白月明五指緊扣，已將繩子緊緊抓在手中，雙方配合得妙臻毫巔！ 這一下，立時贏得了如雷的掌聲，原先聲勢洶洶，在斥責宋老兄的人，也呆住了，這才知道，原來那是班子中預定好了的手腳！ 白月明一手抓住了繩，臉向下，還向所有的人，做了一個鬼臉，道：這一下，不走兩趟獻獻醜，也不行哩，各位多多包涵！ 她人雖然在半空之中，但是在一陣采聲過後，人人屏住了氣息，四周圍又靜得出奇，是以她清脆玲瓏的聲音，每一個人都可以聽得清清楚楚。 白月明話一說完，身子又翻了過來，雙手抓住了繩子，先連翻了十來個大風車，身子隨著繩，突上突下翻騰著，真是好看之極，在采聲如雷中，她身子一曲，雙腳已踏在繩子上。 那時，她還是雙手雙足，一起抵在繩上的，但等到她雙足一踏在繩上之後，她的身子，突然向上挺了一挺，整個人已站了起來，繩子晃動著，白月明的雙手，輕輕搖擺著，她人就在繩子之上。 然後，她慢慢地，試探地跨出了一步，又跨出了一步。 等到她接連跨出了三步之後，她的動作，突然快了起來，迅疾無比地走到了繩子的一端，一個急轉身，衣袂飄動，神采飛揚。 這一下，更是看得所有的人，如癡如醉，直著嗓子，只管叫好。 白月明站得高，走得快，不但圍在空地前的人們看得清楚，便是空地附近的幾條街道上，行人車馬，也都佇足而觀，擠了個水洩不通，附近的幾間茶樓門口，更是人人爭著，探出頭來觀看。 白月明在轉過身來之後，探手在腰際，輕輕一按，將杜如風給她繫在腰際的那塊玉珮，輕輕揚了一揚，在陽光之下，那塊玉珮，映著日光，更是質地晶瑩，映出一道道的光芒來。 也就在那一剎間，在街石的酒樓，二樓窗前的一副座頭上，有兩個中年人，神色陡地一變，互望了一眼，一個壓低了聲音，道：咦，這小妞兒的玉珮，是杜兄弟的家傳之寶！ 另一個的神色更是緊張，道：一點也不錯，杜兄弟在大江雙傑遇難後，音訊全無，這玉珮在小妞兒身上，只怕他已凶多吉少了！ 等到他講到凶多吉少四字時，聲音已大為哽咽，另一個忙道：不見得，看那小妞兒的樣子，像是故意要人看她腰際的玉珮！ 那一個一聽，立時大喜，道：若是這樣，那麼，在這班賣藝人身上，可得杜兄弟的下落！ 兩人又互望了一眼，一個自懷中摸出一錠碎銀，放在桌上，兩人一起站起來，擠開了站在窗前看熱鬧的許多人，急急走下酒樓來。 到了酒樓門口，站立著抬頭觀看的人更多，那兩人推開了十來人，好不容易出了門口，但在街上也全是人，根本沒有法子走近空地去。 兩人正在乾著急間，突然聽得街那頭，傳來了一陣急驟的馬蹄聲，接著，便有人發起喊來。 剎那之間，只聽得馬蹄聲，呼喝著，叫喊聲，大哭大叫，在街上的那些人，全都亂了起來，四下狼奔豕突，再夾雜著啪啪的鞭聲，原來在街上的那些人，全被趕得如潮水般，向兩旁退來。 人潮迫來的勢子實在太猛，將那兩個中年人，又迫回了酒樓之內。 這時，街上可以說是亂到了極點，有跌倒的，有被擠得叫爹叫娘的，小孩子前一刻還在興高采烈，這一刻卻是鬼哭神號。 在混亂中，只見十餘騎疾馳而來，就在廣場之前，勒住了馬，那十餘騎中，倒有八九個，全是蒙古兵的軍官，有兩三個是漢人。 那兩三個漢人，裝束古怪，樣子奇特，一望而知，是身懷絕技的武林高手。 這時候，白月明在繩上，也不再踩繩子了，只是怔怔地站著。 宋進，顯然也料不到突然之際，會有那樣的事發生，是以他也只好呆立著。 只聽得其中的一個韃子軍官，呼喝了兩聲，也沒有人聽得懂他在講些甚麼，一個漢人則策騎向前走了一步，喝道：誰是班主？ 宋進忙走向前來，拱手行禮，道：小老兒宋進，是宋家班班主 他一句話才說完，只聽得呼地一聲響，問話的那人，揚起馬鞭，劈頭劈腦，已向宋進鞭了下來，那一鞭的來勢極快，宋進如何避得開去！ 百忙之中，他只是側了側頭，叭地一聲響，那一鞭，還是斜斜地劈在他的左頰之上，頰上立時墳起了一道血痕。 大力在一旁，一見宋進無緣無故，挨了一鞭，心中大是不滿，立時大聲道：為甚麼打人？ 那漢子冷笑一聲，道：為甚麼打人？你們再在大街之上，聚眾喧囂，一個個斬了你們，快替我收拾傢伙，滾出城去！ 四周圍人聲漸靜了下來，人人皆是敢怒而不敢言。 宋進一看這等情形，知道自己不依是不行的了，他唯恐大力又吃眼前虧，是以連忙向大力使著眼色，打躬作揖，道：是，是！照老爺的吩咐就是！他一面說，一面抬頭向上叫道：丫頭，還不快下來，別耍了！ 白月明答應一聲，走到了繩子的一端，雙手抱住了鍾登天的一隻高蹺，滑了下來，鍾登天也忙著解繩結。 宋進道：我們立時就出城去，老爺多多包涵！ 那漢子回頭，向韃子軍官咕噥了幾句，韃子軍官一揚馬鞭，十餘騎又向前直衝了出去，散開的人，正在漸漸圍攏來，又是好一陣混亂。 等到蹄聲走過了，鍾登天已解著繩子下了地，收起了高蹺，不但宋家班的幾個人，只是默默地收拾著東西，一聲不出，連再次圍攏來的途人，也是一聲不出。 不知道是哪一個人先開始，將一塊碎銀，向前拋了出去，一時之間，銀子、銅錢，如雨而下。 宋進激動得含著淚，不住道謝，和白月明兩人，將銀子、銅錢，一起撿起，兜了一大兜，大力已挑起了傢伙，一行四人，走了開去。 他們走過了幾條街，跟在他們後面的人，已漸漸少了。宋進才嘆了一聲，道：看來，鎮江城中，不是我們找飯吃的地方！ 他正在感嘆著，只見兩個中年人，快步來到了他們的身前。 那兩個中年人，先不約而同，向白月明腰際的那塊玉珮，望了一眼，然後又向宋進拱了拱手，道：老爺子，向你打聽一件事。 宋進沉聲道：不敢，請說。 那兩個中年人中的一個，指著白月明的腰際，道：這塊玉珮，是我們一位要好兄弟的傳家之寶，不知如何會在這位姑娘身上？ 白月明忙道：原來你們認識她下面杜少俠三字，還未曾出口，宋進便陡地喝道：住口！ 宋進雖然不是甚麼武林高手，但是他一生浪跡江湖，人心險詐詭異，其深莫測的事，卻見得太多。 他知道，杜如風首級值千金，正不知有多少人想找他，眼前這兩個人，看來雖然誠懇，但是在未知底細之前，又豈可胡言亂語？ 白月明給宋進一喝，不敢再言語。 宋進道：兩位所指，卻是甚麼人？ 這時，他們恰在一條街口，在街口的一條木牌上，貼著一張老大的告示。 在那張告示之上，畫著一個人形，看來有七八分和杜如風相似，那兩個中年人一見間，呶了呶嘴，道：就是告示上的那人！ 那告示，正是元軍畫影圖形，捉拿叛賊杜如風的告示，各州各府，各鎮市皆有張貼。 宋進呆了一呆，道：兩位是他的甚麼人？ 那兩人道：是他的生死兄弟！ 宋進強打了一個哈哈，道：兩位這樣說法，若是叫韃子奸細聽到了，卻是殺身之禍！ 那兩人正色道：國已破，家已亡，個人生死，何足掛齒，我們和杜兄弟商議著，有極重要的事待辦，但是他忽然下落不明，請老大指點！ 對方的話已說到了這一地步，宋進實在是再也沒有甚麼可以推託的了。 何況，杜如風要他們帶著那塊玉佩出來，就是為了要引起他自己人的注意。 這時，白月明心急，已經好幾次想搶著講話，但是卻被鍾登天在一旁，使眼色阻了下去。 大力在一旁，卻是渾然不知發生了甚麼事，別看他天生神力，身形壯大，但是實際上，他卻是天真純樸得如同小孩子一樣。 宋進又猶豫了片刻，才道：好，兩位且跟我們來，但是兩位的裝束，和我們身份不合，最好隔遠些，以免招人起疑。 那兩個中年人大喜，道：好，不知杜少俠現在，情形怎樣，尚祈告知！ 宋進道：他身受重傷，但性命無虞！ 他說完了這一句話，立時轉身，向外走去。 大力、鍾登天、白月明跟在他的身後，等他們四人，走過了那告示牌，那兩個中年人才跟著向前走去。 看官，那兩個中年人一起步，看在會家的眼中，便可以知道他們是武功極高的高人。 那兩個中年人，一個叫柏長青，另一個姓焦，單名一個烈字，是武林中出了名的高手，江南四俠中的老大和老二，也正是和杜如風有聯絡，準備在韃子手中，救出文丞相的義士。 他們六個人，四前兩後走著，焦烈和柏長青兩人，心中十分緊張，自杜如風忽然音訊全無，大江雙傑慘死之後，他們一夥十多個人，急得團團亂轉，如今忽然有了消息，如何不緊張？ 也就是因為這一緊張，是以他們兩人，連後面跟著四個探頭探腦的人，也未曾覺察！ 那四個探頭探腦的人，是從街角跟過來的，他們和焦、柏兩人，保持著一兩丈距離，看來像是尋常的路人一樣。 四人中有一個，身形又矮又胖，神情詭異，一面走一面在說：不錯，這兩人是江南四傑中的人物，不知他們和賣藝漢子有甚麼交道？ 另一個道：現在怎麼知道，跟下去看看，就一定可以知道了！還有一個神色蒼白的，顯得十分小心，道：要不要先去報告婁天魔？前面兩人武功極高，若要動起手來，只怕不是他們的手腳。 那人幾句話才一出口，另一個就呸地一聲，道：你怎麼了？誰知道跟下去會發現甚麼？現在去報告了婁天魔，跟了一場空，就得挨罵。若有了發現，功勞又不會記在我們身上。升官發財的是他，你怎麼那麼蠢？ 那人挨了一頓責罵，不敢再說甚麼。 四個人仍然跟著宋進等六人。 不一會，便已然出了城，直向江邊走去。出了城之後，少了掩蔽，那四個人跟得也遠了些，不敢如此貼近，怕會被前面的人發現。而前面宋進等六人，急於趕路，仍然未曾發覺已有人跟了他們好半晌。 行了不到半個時辰，大江已然在望。江水浩蕩，離遠望去，更是氣象萬千。 在將到江岸時，那四個人，便找了一棵大樹，隱身在樹後。 眼看著宋進等六人，登上了那艘停在江邊的船。他們才走了出來，藉著樹木和江邊大石的掩蓋，向前接近去。 卻說宋進等一行六人，上了船隻，宋玉兒一聽得甲板上有人聲，就從船艙中走了出來。 宋進忙道：玉兒，杜少俠怎麼了？ 宋玉兒將手指放在嘴唇上，壓低了聲音，道：他才睡著了，看來傷勢是不礙了！ 一聽得杜如風睡著了，各人都不由自主，壓低了聲音。宋進沉聲道：請進艙來。 柏長青和焦烈兩人，首先彎著身，走了進去。 艙中的光線很黑暗，也益襯得杜如風面如白紙，神情十分憔悴。 兩人立時
