The third round: Yamagata still has a cold snap

On the cliffs, between the mountains, the cold snap of the mountain is still there.

Pick up all the stars in the world, cover thousands of rivers and months, but mourn, complain about hatred, and gradually stop.

Section 1: The Nangong family

Mo Junyan thought secretly: "It turns out that these people are all invited by Ruan Jin to help the Nangong family, but I don't know what they are for. He knew that the Nangong family was one of the three major martial arts families, and what he did must be the right thing.

Ruan Jin opened his throat and said loudly: "You all know that the eldest son of Nangong Feifeng's predecessor in the Nangong family, 'Gai Mengwei' Nangong Yuan, is a decent and chivalrous person, if it wasn't for his righteous help in the past, Ruan would have died at the hands of the masters of the Black Sect. He is the eldest son of the Nangong family, and it can be said that he succeeded to the position of head of the family. This was originally a family affair of his Nangong family, and it stands to reason that it was not the turn of the old man to put his beak, but his brother Nangong Jiu was aggressive, threatening and persuading, and insisted on snatching the position of heir, and the old man really couldn't stand it, so he invited friends all over the place to help the young master of Nangong. ”

Shi Bingchuan sighed: "I always love my son when I am old, and it is not false. Don't hide it from Brother Ruan, the old man also prefers the younger son. Ruan Jin said: "It is understandable that people have a preference, but the old owner of Nangong loves this Nangong Jiu, and he is too arrogant, so that the kid is lawless." As the saying goes: 'The palms and backs of the hands are all meat', and the owner of Nangong Village also needs to have a limit. "This Ruan Jin received Nangong Yuan's life-saving grace, and he was unceremonious to Nangong Feifeng in his words.

Someone asked: "I don't know what this Nangong Jiu did to make Ruan's seniors so angry?" Ruan Jin said hatefully: "That kid spread rumors everywhere, saying that the eldest young master of Nangong is misbehaving, he is a slippery boy, and he is looking for prostitutes to buy drunk, isn't this a joke? ”

A young man said: "That's right, I heard it when I was in Xingtai, and it was said that the eldest young master of Nangong saw that the road was uneven and rescued a young girl from the hands of a bully, which is a good thing, but I don't want the eldest young master of Nangong to have a bad heart, seeing the beauty of the girl's life, I want to take it for myself, but the girl doesn't obey, and the eldest young master of Nangong puts her under house arrest......" The young man was still about to say, Ruan Jin glared at him and was busy talking.

Shi Bingchuan said: "This must be a false rumor of Nangong Ershao, you don't have to care." If you want to come to 'Gai Mengwei' to save people, it is true, but the imprisonment of the girl must be fictional. It is between the virtual and the real, which makes it difficult for the owner of Nangong to distinguish. If you want to come to Brother Ruan to invite me and others to come, you must be looking for that girl and explaining this matter to Nangong Dashao?"

Ruan Jin said: "This is one of them, if it is only for explanation, it is enough to forgive the old man alone." He paused and said, "I invite you, but also to protect Nangong Yuangongzi." Everyone was amazed: "What can you say?"

Ruan Jin sighed: "This matter is a long story, don't be impatient, and listen to Ruan Mou slowly." Just last month, Ruan went from Julu to Xingtai to visit Nangong Gongzi, but saw four dead people on the road. The old man went up to check, and saw that one of them was the 'Five Hands' Shi Kaishan. ”

Everyone said "ah", Shi Kaishan was originally a good man on the green forest road, and was later accepted as a domestic servant by Nangong Feifeng, and he has always been loyal to Nangong Yuan.

Ruan saw a palm mark on his neck, like being burned by fire, and his body was still warm. Looking at the other three, they are all members of the Nangong family. Ruan knew that something was wrong, and chased all the way along the traces of the fight, and happened to bump into Nangong Gongzi in the field next to the road. ”

I saw him entangled with a person, who was dressed in a purple coat, tall and thin, with only a pair of fleshy palms, and forced Nangong Gongzi's long sword into danger. The old man hurriedly stepped forward to help with his sword, the purple-clothed man's tricks were very strange and ruthless, and the two of us joined forces to fight, and they only fought for an undefeated game. He saw that he couldn't get a bargain, so he snorted coldly and forced Ruan's long sword away, and retreated. ”

Xu Liulin exclaimed: "That person actually calmly retreated under the joint efforts of Brother Ruan and Nangong Gongzi?" You must know that Nangong Yuan's Nangong swordsmanship is unparalleled in the north of Hebei, and he is no longer inferior to his father in his prime, and with the help of the "Ten Directions Xuangang Sword", he can't stop the purple-clothed man.

"Not bad. Ruan Jin sighed: "The old man was also suspicious at the time, so he asked Nangong Yuan who that person was and why he wanted to assassinate the son." I only heard Gongzi say eloquently: 'I didn't expect that this killer of the Star Tower, his martial arts are so strong, I was negligent. When he said this, everyone's faces showed a look of horror, even Shi Bingchuan, Xu Liulin, etc., their expressions were solemn.

"It turned out that it was approaching the New Year, the son rushed back from the south, intending to meet the Nangong seniors before the first day of the new year, he and Shi Kaishan and others arrived here, and they were blocked by the purple-clothed man, the Nangong family was originally a family of thieves, and at first I thought that the robber had met the thief's grandfather, and they all laughed, who knew that the man was ruthless, lightning sneak attack, the three of them were caught off guard, and they were killed immediately. Shi Kaishan fought with it and lost his life. ”

Shi Bingchuan listened to his narration and didn't speak for a long time, and suddenly said at this moment: "The killer acts mostly at night. Although Xingxinglou is the leader of the killer organization, he actually committed murder in broad daylight, and he was dressed in purple and dazzling, and his arrogance was so arrogant!" He paused, as if he suddenly thought of something, and said in astonishment: "Wait, according to the rules of Xingxinglou to kill people, what kind of person, what kind of killer, according to the identity of Nangong Gongzi...... Could it be ...... Could it be that he is one of the 'Eight Heavens' of the Star Picking Tower!?"

Everyone was surprised, and Yu Meng was also curious, looking at Mo Junyan. Mo Junyan knew that this Star Picking Tower was a killer organization that arose during the Apocalypse, which had always bought his life with money, but he raised his own value, ordinary vendettas and murders were often not accepted, and the object had to be a person who had made a lot of fame in the rivers and lakes. In the past few years, it has become more and more popular, and it has become the number one killer organization in the rivers and lakes.

Mo Junyan wrote the six words "No. 1 Killer Organization" in the palm of Yu Meng's hand, and when he wanted to write what the Eight Heavens of Separation and Hatred was, he heard Ruan Jin already explain: "Senior brother's expectations are not bad. In addition to the great Brahma of the owner of the building, this star-picking building is still divided into three levels of killers of heaven, earth and man, of which there are eight days in the heavenly order, which are respectively called 'Qianwu Tian, Kun Si Tian, Shock and Anger Tian, Xun Shocking Heaven, Kan Wai Tian, Lihing Tian, Gen Sadness Tian, and Horror Tian', so it is called the Eight Heavenly Kings. There are a total of 28 places in the northeast, southwest, and southwest directions, and there are 60 people in the human ranks, which are said to be arranged according to the heavenly stems and the earthly branches. ”

"Although the Eight Heavenly Kings of this Heavenly Rank are all superb in martial arts, what is even more terrifying is that each of them has a unique art of killing, which is the best in the world, above the other seventy-eight killers. The strength of the 'Leaving the Hatred of the Sky' martial arts is certainly above my generation, but it is said that he is not the strongest martial arts among the eight. ”

Shi Bingchuan continued for him: "Li's best skill is firearms, and I heard that his skills are unparalleled in the world. ”

Everyone was busy asking about the future, and Ruan Jin said: "Alas, after I buried the bodies of Shi Kaishan and others on the spot, just in case, I walked with Nangong Gongzi and took care of each other." When he arrived at Nangong's house, he met Nangong Jiu head-on, and he seemed to be stunned for a moment when he saw the two of us, and then said coldly: "Big brother came back so late." The eldest young master of Nangong only nodded, and when he saw that Nangong Jiu was about to go out, he suddenly asked: "Can the second brother recognize the characters in the Star Picking Tower?" Nangong Jiu did not look back, and sneered: "The eldest brother said that he was laughing, the younger brother is not very travelling, how can he recognize the Star Picking Tower and the Moon Picking Building? The old man thought to himself, Nangong Dashao has always been close to people, if someone wants to get rid of him quickly, except for his brother, he can't think of anyone else. ”

Ruan Jin said: "The old man secretly pulled the sleeve of Young Master Nangong Yuan, indicating that it must be Nangong Jiu who harmed each other, but Young Master Nangong did not speak, and after seeing the owner and wife of Nangong Zhuang, he never mentioned this matter, only said that Shi Kaishan and others occasionally contracted old diseases on the way and died of illness. When the old man saw him say so, it was inconvenient to face him about this matter, and the owner of Nangong Zhuang did not doubt him, so he only exchanged a few words with the old man. Since then, the eldest young master of Nangong has stayed at home, and although the killer of the Star Picking Tower is arrogant and domineering, he misses a blow, but he does not come to the door to disturb him. ”

Ruan expected that if the killer of the Star Picking Tower was really sent by Nangong Jiu, there would be a follow-up. Sure enough, not long after the New Year, Nangong Jiu set up a banquet to invite the eldest young master, but it was a public gamble, Yunyun's father was very old, and who would take over the affairs of the Nangong family in the future was nothing more than to take the position of the head of the Nangong family. Young Master Nangong Yuan only said that his father's energy was still good, so there was no need to worry about it, and the inheritance of the head of the family was all his father's will, and he had nothing to do with himself, so he persuaded his younger brother not to be obsessed with it. Speaking of which, the old man also went to the meeting with Young Master Nangong that day, and Nangong Jiu was aggressive, which really made people angry. ”

"The eldest young master was forced to be helpless, so he had to say: 'Since the second brother insists on this, then it's okay. I promise you, our Nangong family has always regarded itself as a thief, and what we rely on is nothing more than the righteousness and kung fu of our colleagues in the rivers and lakes. There is no way to compare righteousness, but the effort in hand is clear. In my opinion, on the 15th of March, we will have a competition on the Qingfeng Tower, and the loser will not mention the matter of the head of the family for life, what does the ninth brother think?' Nangong Jiu saw that the elder brother agreed, so he immediately changed the normal state and was very polite to us. Nangong Gongzi is very calm, but the old man can't rest assured, I don't know what they are secretly doing. Ruan Jin shook his head as he spoke.

Xu Liulin said: "Nangong Jiu is limited to his age, and compared to his eldest brother, he is afraid that his martial arts are half inferior." In my opinion, this matter of seizing the family governor, the eldest prince of Nangong is sure to win, and Brother Ruan does not have to worry. Shi Bingchuan said: "Brother Xu's words are wrong. Nangong Er Shao has always been thoughtful, and he would never do such a thoughtless move. He kept saying that he wanted to make this bet, which was too unreasonable. Among them, there must be shady deeds. ”

Mo Junyan listened, and was suspicious in his heart: "According to Ruan Jin's talent, this martial arts competition should be proposed by Nangong Yuan, how can Shi Bingchuan say that it is established by Nangong Jiu?" In their opinion, Nangong Yuan proposed a gambling fight, and Nangong Jiu happily agreed, and Nangong Jiu proposed that Nangong Yuan promised to be essentially no different, anyway, it was all Nangong Jiu's conspiracy. Directly said that Nangong Jiu made a covenant, when others heard it, they would only feel that Nangong Jiu was more hateful, and who would think about the trivial matters like Mo Junyan?

"Zhao!" Ruan Jin slapped his palms and shouted, "It is worthy of being the senior brother!" In a word, the old man also thought so. Xu Liulin touched his nose and said goodbye. I only heard Ruan Jin say: "When I left Nangong Jiu's courtyard, I advised Young Master Nangong to be more careful, but the eldest young master cared about brotherly love and advised me not to be too careful." Hey, the more this is the case, the more worried the old man becomes. So that night, he sneaked into Nangong Jiu's courtyard!"

Everyone said "Ah!", and they couldn't help but admire the courage of this old man.

Ruan Jin said: "I'm ashamed to say that although Nangong Jiu's other courtyard is not the inner courtyard of the palace, it is also heavily guarded, and the old man sneaks into it to investigate, but he is also cautious, and he doesn't dare to ask boldly." Shi Bingchuan explained for him: "Yes, after all, if the identity is exposed, the two Nangong brothers will not look good." Ruan Jin arched his hand at him and said, "Senior brother is too right, if the old man's secret visit to the courtyard is discovered by the Nangong family, I am afraid that the old master of Nangong will see the crime, and it will hurt the feelings of Nangong Yuan and the nine brothers." ”

Everyone nodded and said, "What Ruan Daxia said is very true. However, with Ruan Daxia's decades of profound skills, he will be able to succeed immediately. Ruan Jin listened to the compliments, and couldn't help but smile slightly: "Everyone has an overreputation." But I'm ashamed to say that although the old man successfully sneaked into the Nangong Nine Courtyards, he was uneasy, and when he walked to the flower garden behind the courtyard, he was bumped into by a girl!"

Everyone was taken aback when they heard this, and they said, "This is terrible, if this girl screams, how can she get out." ”

"This girl seems to be Nangong Jiu's personal maid, because when she visited Nangong Jiu that day, she seemed to have seen it. She suddenly raised her head, the old man couldn't dodge, and saw her face, thinking that if she didn't do anything, if she revealed her identity, she was afraid that Nangong Jiu would not take a break. Immediately leaned over and tried to catch her. You must know that the Nangong family practices martial arts, although this little girl is young, she is afraid that her martial arts are not low, and if she shouts out, there are countless masters in the other courtyard, and Nangong Jiu is near the left, the old man is not an opponent, this rush can be said to be doing her best......"

His voice trembled slightly, which showed that the situation at that time was dangerous, which made him feel palpitations. Although everyone knew that he was here now, he would definitely get out safely at that time, but he didn't know if he caught the girl, if he didn't catch it, he was afraid that Nangong Jiu would already know about it, then the Nangong family was only afraid that it would stiffen up, and the relatives and friends of the Nangong family were naturally worried, but when the opponent heard about it, he was only afraid that he would be overjoyed, and he might not take advantage of the fire to rob him.

I only heard Ruan Jin continue: "This grasp is the 'seven-step hook' of my Taihang faction, and there are seven variations after one catch, I am afraid that she will avoid or block it backwards." The old man put his left hand on her shoulder, buckled her mouth, and held her wrist with his right hand, the girl did not resist, and her body fell down softly. The old man was overjoyed, it turned out that this girl didn't know martial arts, and all the worries before were to scare herself, haha. ”

When he said this, there was a burst of laughter from the crowd, and the tense atmosphere immediately eased.

Ruan Jin made a big move, and a person from the Taihang Sword Sect walked up with a yellow cloth sack, and then untied the rope at the mouth of the bag, pushed the mouth of the bag down, and then revealed a person.

Everyone saw that the man in the bag was petite, only about eleven or twelve years old, with a double beard, a beautiful appearance, wearing a light white fine silk shirt, and his hands were tied behind his back. Ruan Jin pointed out: "This girl was captured by Ruan from the Nangong Courtyard. ”

Mo Junyan was quite proud when he heard his tone, and he was very disapproving, shaking his head and sighing secretly: "Bullying the weak and bullying young girls, no wonder the Taihang Sword Sect has fallen here." ”

Ruan Jin said: "After all these twists and turns, the old man thought in his heart that Nangong Jiuju was unpredictable, and he had to guard against it. This is why I invite you to come to help the young master of Nangong, I and the others are obviously accompanying the young master of Nangong to Qingfeng Tower, but in fact, they are protecting him and maintaining the venue of the competition. ”

Everyone hurriedly said, "That's how it should be!"

Ruan Jin said again: "The old man thinks that Nangong Jiu is vicious, and he is definitely not a good person. This girl is his maid, and most of them know some vicious inside affairs, so they interrogated again and again. It's a pity that this little girl is very tight-mouthed and refuses to say anything. Most of the people he invited were people who had received Nangong Yuan's favor, or people who had been friends with him, and everyone hated Nangong Jiu's unkindness.

Someone said: "Brother Ruan, why bother talking about morality to the people of Nangong Jiu, the big punishment is to serve, don't worry about this little girl!" An interface said: "Brother Jiao is right, Lao Tzu will have thirteen kinds of strange punishments, if Brother Ruan doesn't mind, let the younger brother pry open this dead girl's mouth!"

When Yu Meng and Mo Junyan heard this, they were both angry: "These people are in vain to call themselves chivalrous!" Yu Meng's eyes were on fire, and although Mo Junyan was silent, he also clenched his fists. He looked at the group of people, and suddenly changed his mind: "Master often says that people's hearts are their own, and if they don't have the slightest benefit, they won't be too enthusiastic. These people disregard the chivalrous name in vain, and try their best to help Nangong win the heir, I am afraid that it is not just as simple as befriending Nangong Yuan, there should be other hidden secrets in this. ”

At this time, the moonlight was faint, and there was a little breeze, which made everyone feel a little cool.
