On this night, the stars and the moon are gone. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The hall of Tianyi Gang was brightly lit, Huo Fei took several big masters to greet the guests, the warblers sang and danced, and the excitement was extraordinary. The scholar sat in a slightly remote corner, quietly observing all this. The visitors are all bold men who eat meat and drink a lot of wine, and after three rounds of drinking, they can't care about any etiquette, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, wanton and noisy, and the scene is becoming more and more chaotic. Seeing that the timing was right, the scholar got up lightly, walked out of the main entrance, went to a quiet and uninhabited place, went over the wall, and went to the back wing. When I arrived at Huo Qinghong's residence, I saw two guards guarding the lane, and then hid in the flowers in front of the house. The two guards were complaining to each other, and one whispered: "I'm hungry, people are eating and drinking spicy food outside, let's drink the northwest wind here." The other whispered: Don't worry, you watch first, and wait for me to secretly order the wine and come out with some meat. The other said impatiently: Go, go, come back early. The man flashed out, and after a while, he came back with two large jars of wine and two roast chickens in his hands. Immediately, the two of them sat on the ground, smiling happily, and couldn't wait to eat and drink. In a short time, the two jars of wine had bottomed out, and the two of them were spread on the ground, drunk.
The scholar secretly rejoiced: God really helped me, let me slash the enemy today. Just as he was about to get up, a figure in black suddenly floated out from the side of the two people, with light footwork, jumped in front of Huo Qinghong's door, gently pushed the door open, and dodged in. The demeanor was so fast that the scholars didn't even react. There were two candles lit in Huo Qinghong's house, the figure was reflected in the window, and the movements inside could be seen vaguely, and the scholar was stunned by this mutation, holding his breath, and staring at the windowsill tightly. I saw that the man approached Huo Qinghong's bed, waved his palm, and only heard a muffled sound, like a blow to the chest, the scholar secretly thought: This person must have made up for Huo Qinghong's injury with another palm, it is really clever, blame the beard. I only heard Huo Qinghong cry hoarsely: You ...... And it was silent. The man withdrew the way he came. The scholar had just gritted his teeth with hatred, but now that he realized that the person he was going to kill was really dead, he suddenly became afraid, and quickly got up and ran out, knocking down the bonsai next to him in a panic, and he was even more panicked. The scholar didn't care about this, jumped on the wall with all his strength, and ran wildly; After walking for a moment, he suddenly felt that someone was following behind him, and he hurriedly turned around to take a look, and was startled, and it was the man in black ten feet away behind him. The scholar ran wildly for a long time, unable to get rid of it, thinking: Since this person has done such an unsightly thing, he must be afraid that people will know, so he turns to the place where the lights are bright and the people are noisy. The man followed for a moment, slowed down, and turned away.
The scholar was shocked, he couldn't imagine that there were really many enemies of the Huo family, and it was so smooth today, first a bearded man helped hurt Huo Qinghong, and then someone took his life. The grievances that have accumulated for more than ten years have been relieved one day, and my heart is so uncomfortable. After a moment's hesitation, after thinking about it, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time, once the matter is discovered, Gangneung Mansion will definitely explode. So he stole a horse from an inn in the city, and he did not distinguish anything, but he raised his whip and urged the horse to flee to the outskirts.
After running for about two hours and entering a mountain forest, the scholar gradually calmed down, turned over and dismounted, and led the horse to walk slowly up the hill. After walking for a while, I saw a fire in the mountain forest, with the sound of "huhu". When I got closer, it turned out to be the bearded man in the daytime, and I saw that the bearded man was holding a branch, chopping around in the open space, as if he was figuring out Huo Qinghong's "volley three slashes" and concentrating. The scholar felt as if he had met an old friend, and his heart was overjoyed. Then he walked out of the jungle and looked at Hu Fengyang with a smile. Hu Fengyang was still immersed in the knife technique and didn't pay attention to it. There was a hare roasting on the fire, one side of which was already burnt, so the scholar sat down by the fire and played with the game. After a while, the flavor of the game continues to waft out. At this time, an old man flashed out of the woods, the old man was thin, ragged, carrying a wine jug in his hand, walking staggering, it seemed that he had drunk a lot, and muttered in his mouth: "There is good wine but no good food, it is really a big regret in life, hehe......" After speaking, he smiled at the scholar. When the scholar saw that the old man had a good face, he said, "You have drunk too much, and there is roasted hare meat here." The old man muttered, not much, not much, but he tripped over a branch and rolled on the ground twice, and the scholar felt more and more ridiculous about this old man. The old man slowly got up and said, "There is wine and food, but it is not beautiful after all to have no wine company", looked at Hu Fengyang with a smile, raised his voice, and shouted: "Can the hero come and drink two glasses." Hu Fengyang has already understood the knife technique, his heart is happy, he took the old man's wine jug, his hand suddenly sank, he didn't expect this wine jug to be so heavy, he raised it to his mouth, took a sip, and then handed it to the old man. The old man easily took the flask and handed it to the scholar, who waved his hand again and again, signaling not to. The three of them sat around the fire, drinking wine and eating meat. Only then did the scholar realize that this old man was actually not old, he was estimated to be less than fifty years old, but he was dressed in shabby clothes, and his face was stained with a lot of ash and mud.
Hu Fengyang drank wine and said: "It's a great pleasure to be able to drink good wine with my eldest brother here, big brother, you have a big name."
The old man said: "Haha, the drunkenness is big, the sun and the moon are long in the pot, not for fame or profit, no desire and no desire just for a sip of good wine, people say that the history of the immortals in the wine does not change."
Hu Fengyang looked up to the sky and smiled, praising it: "Wonderful, wonderful." ”
At this time, there was a sudden commotion in Gangneung Mansion, and the people and horses were boiling, and the fire was blazing. The scholar came to his senses and thought that Huo Qinghong's death must have been discovered. Hurriedly stood up and said, "Two big brothers, it seems that there is chaos in the city, so let's go first, so as not to be implicated." Shi Buyi laughed and quipped: "What kind of mess can there be?" The little brother is too timid, like a little girl. The scholar blushed and didn't know how to answer. Hu Fengyang smiled heartily and said, "Little brother, don't panic. The scholar nodded slightly, and suddenly remembered that Hu Fengyang had an injury on his left arm, so he said: "The eldest brother was not lightly injured by the knife in the morning, and the younger brother has an anti-injury plaster that can alleviate it." After speaking, he put it on for Hu Fengyang. Hu Fengyang didn't care about the knife wound at first, but when he got out of the gang, it gradually hurt and went straight to the bone marrow, Huo Qinghong's knife was indeed extremely brave, if it weren't for Hu Fengyang's martial arts cultivation as a protection, that arm would have been scrapped long ago. As soon as the scholar's plaster was applied, Hu Fengyang suddenly felt no pain, it seemed that his muscles and bones were reconnected, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, this medicine was really magical. is also puzzled by tonight's encounter, Shi Buyi is obviously profound, but he is debauched; This scholar is weak, but he has such a miracle medicine.
The firelight kept approaching the three of them, and the sound of horses' hooves became clearer. Shi Buyi sat up, touched the sparse handful of beard on his chin, and muttered, "Is it coming for us...... I'll find out first. As soon as he finished speaking, the man rose into the air and crossed the trees lightly.
The scholar nervously paced around the fire. About a pillar of incense, Shi Buyi hurriedly came out of the bushes and shouted: "Brother is not good, Old Man Huo can't bear your palm, he has already returned to the west, and now the people of Tianyi are about to ask you for the crime, come here quickly, this time it is lively." ”
Hu Fengyang's figure shook and sighed: "It's not like this, it should be okay with the Huo Gang Master's martial arts cultivation." ”
The scholar was wondering whether to tell the two of them what he had seen, and he didn't know where to start, when he had already led the horse and said anxiously, "Let's go first." Hu Fengyang looked calm and said, "Little brother don't have to be afraid. Shi Bujie also leaked a contemptuous smile, and said without fear of things: "The soldiers are coming, the water is flooding, hehe......"
In a few moments, a troop of men and horses, about twenty or thirty men, galloped in, and the torches illuminated the trees. Led by Sima Kong, the hall master of Qinglong Hall, and Lu Feng, the hall master of Xuanwu Hall, Lu Feng opened his eyes angrily when he saw Hu Fengyang, and scolded: "You turtle grandson of the Western Regions, why do you have any grievances with you, you actually did this, **** grandma, I want you to accompany my eldest brother to the funeral." As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped up from his horse and came straight towards Hu Fengyang. Lu Feng's weapon is a plate axe, the famous skill "Wind and Fire Thirty-six Roads" axe method, Lu Feng took advantage of the situation to open the mountain and split, such as a hungry tiger pounced on food, Hu Fengyang was not afraid, and when the plate axe was close to the right flash, he jumped away and shouted: "Hu had no intention of hurting the Huo gang leader, but the sword has no eyes, the Huo gang leader is today's hero, and Hu is also very guilty." Where did Lu Feng listen, turned around and used another axe, and then unfolded the thirty-six axes, seeing that Lu Feng was extremely sad and angry, and the axes and tigers all attacked the vital places. Hu Fengyang has a long sword in his hand, blocking left and avoiding right, his moves are clean and neat, and he does not fall behind. Then, four or five bodyguards also jumped out and joined the dogfight. Sima Kong looked at everything calmly, and with a wave of his hand, he ordered his entourage to send a signal to inform the others. Hu Fengyang had no intention of hurting others, so he focused on defending.
At this time, Shi Buyi shouted: "There is always a death in life if you die early and die later, why should you be so serious, hehe." The crowd was furious, and several people bullied forward and surrounded Shi Buxian, shouting: "You accomplices will be arrested obediently." Shi Buyi threw the wine gourd right in front of the speaker's face, this wine gourd was tied with a chain, and it turned out to be a weapon during the fight, like a meteor hammer. The scholar stood beside the horse, clutching the reins tightly in his hand, and he didn't know what to do in such a scene.
At this time, there was a commotion outside the woods, and another team of people arrived. Led by Huo Fei and Shangguan Ying, the master of the White Tiger Hall. As soon as Huo Fei received a message saying that the murderer had been found, he rushed over regardless of the heart-rending pain. As soon as he saw Hu Fengyang, Huo Fei shouted: "The hatred of killing my father, I don't share the sky, and today I will slash this thief in the Western Regions." Seeing that there were more and more people, the scholar jumped out in a hurry and shouted, "He didn't kill the man." The murderer is someone else. As soon as the words fell, Shangguan Ying, the hall master of the White Tiger Hall, had already jumped out and slashed straight at the scholar with one palm. Hu Fengyang had no choice but to use his internal force to shake the two of them away, threw one of them into Shangguan Ying, and then protected him in front of the scholar. Shi Buyi saw that there were too many people, and if he continued to entangle, his energy would be exhausted, so he rolled on the spot and ran behind Hu Fengyang, and the three of them were surrounded by a bunch of people back to back. Shi Bugai sighed, "Since Brother Hu doesn't want to hurt people more, we can't get out of this enclosure." The scholar whispered, "I have a way, you just need to steal two horses and move quickly." Hu Fengyang took a big stride, rushed out of the circle with all his strength, and exchanged hands with Lu Feng and Shangguan Ying, the circle was suddenly empty, Shi Buyi and the scholar rushed directly to the two horses on the side, Shi Buyi was originally a light achievement, and he sent the scholar to the back of the horse with a light ride, and he also jumped on another horse. The scholar jumped on the back of the horse, took out a handful of things from his sleeve and threw them around, and the people on the side suddenly screamed miserably, and sprinkled several times, and everyone felt that their eyes were astringent and spicy, and their eyes were white. The scholar drove the horse past Hu Fengyang, took Hu Fengyang on horseback, and galloped away.
