Huang Wen walked a mountain road and arrived at the main road, feeling a little different from the path he had galloped over on horseback the day before yesterday. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info had no choice but to walk east along the road, walking and walking, it was dark. At this time, he saw the smoke curling in front of him, and knew that there must be someone, so he rushed over.

At the corner of the mountain road, I saw a family in the open area on the side of the road, three or four thatched houses, and the kitchen was lit with lights. Huang Wen approached the house, and suddenly, the door opened, and a woman came out. The woman was slightly surprised when she saw Huang Wen. Huang Wen said: "Auntie, I'm lost, can I stay overnight in the house?" The woman saw that Huang Wen was in rags, barefoot, with a little blood on his feet, and holding a sword in his hand, but she didn't answer immediately. Then another man came out of the house, about fifty years of age. The man asked, "Young man, where did you come from and where are you going?" Huang Wen pointed in the direction of the deep valley and said, "I fell into a valley and only came up now." I don't know how many years have passed. Now I want to go back to Budi Village. But he couldn't tell which direction the village was, and stood there in a daze. The man said, "Okay, come into the house." The two beckoned Huang Wen into the house, and found clothes for him to change, telling him to change after taking a bath.

When Huang Wen was taking a bath, he couldn't help but think about what these two people were, and they were not bad to themselves. But looking at their blazing eyes, they should also be regarded as martial arts people.

After Huang Wen took a bath and put on clean clothes, shoes and socks, he felt very comfortable and in a very happy mood. When he came out, he saw that the two elders were sitting at the dinner table and waiting for him to eat. When the woman saw Huang Wen's appearance, such a handsome young man standing in front of her, she couldn't help but be stunned. The man coughed twice, which woke the woman up, and the woman said, "Young man, what's your name?" and beckoned Huang Wen to come over for dinner. Huang Wen was not polite, so he sat down at the table and said his name. The man asked, "What is the place in Budi Village?" Huang Wen was stunned, but he couldn't answer. After thinking about it, he said, "The place where I lived when I was a child was in the mountains, and there was everything in the village, and it was very lively. As he spoke, he thought of Meng Xin again, and couldn't help but be silent.

The woman said, "You just call me Aunt Kang, old man Uncle Kang." Huang Wen happily called "Aunt Kang, Uncle Kang". Huang Wen hadn't eaten a cooked meal for a long time, and it tasted very fragrant. Uncle Kang asked, "What kind of sword is this sword of yours?" Huang Wen briefly talked about what happened in the valley, but he didn't say many details. After hearing this, the second elder was amazed and sighed that life was unpredictable.

Uncle Kang said: "I think when I first came out of the rivers and lakes, I heard that this Demon Ancestor was strong in martial arts, and then I didn't know why he disappeared. It turned out that he died in vain at the bottom of that nameless valley. Aunt Kang looked at Huang Wen carefully and said softly: "Alas, if my son is here, he would be so old." Huang Wen said strangely: "Aunt Kang, what's wrong with Ling Lang?" Aunt Kang and Uncle Kang both shook their heads together, and the three of them continued to eat silently.

After the meal, Aunt Kang cleaned up an empty room for Huang Wen to live in. The second elder also went to sleep on his own.

Huang Wen lay on the bed, but he couldn't sleep. He thought about what kind of person Uncle Kang and Aunt Kang were, and he thought about Meng Xin. Thinking of Meng Xin's charming smile, he couldn't sleep even more. But how could he go back to Budi Village? He himself couldn't remember his way back at all.

As soon as he fell asleep, Huang Wen was suddenly woken up by the sound of horses' hooves. He listened intently, but when he heard the sound of the horses' hooves approaching, he stopped in front of the house. I only heard the sound of the door opening gently, and listened to a voice that said: "Kang Zhaoqian, Luo Xin, you are doing a good job!" Huang Wen only then knew the real name of the second elder. Kang Zhaoqian said: "But if the sect leader has orders, the two of us will risk our lives to do it." What did the sect leader say?" The visitor laughed out loud and said, "Don't worry, the sect leader has a clue to Ling Lang, as long as you finish this last thing, you will definitely be able to meet Kang Longchang." Luo Xin hurriedly asked, "Then what is the last task?" The envoy said: "Sect leader: Kang Zhao Qianluo Xin and the two of them quickly went to Jiangnan to destroy the Ren Zheng clan, and no one should be allowed to live, otherwise they will never see Kang Longchang." Kang Zhaoqian said: "This task is very arduous, it is rumored that Ren Gang, the father of Ren Zheng, is one of the famous two ghosts in Jiangnan." If the old man completes the task of the sect leader, when will he see Wu'er?" The envoy said: "After completing the task, I will bring Ling Lang here!" After speaking, he laughed three times, and the sound of horses' hooves became farther and farther away.

Huang Wen was stunned: It turns out that Ren Gang, who was told by the Demon Patriarch to exterminate the clan, is still alive! And what are the 'two ghosts in Jiangnan', could it be that the other ghost is Jiao Pei? At this moment, the door opened, Luo Xin walked in, and said to Huang Wen: "Virtuous nephew, I think you have heard it just now. Get out of here at dawn. Huang Wen turned over and said, "Aunt Kang, take me to Jiangnan." Luo Xin asked strangely: "Aren't you going back to Budi Village?" Huang Wendao: "Aunt Kang, may I ask if the two ghosts in Jiangnan are the ghost crying god Ren Gang and the ghost axe magic Jiao Pei?" Luo Xin asked in surprise: "How do you know these two people?" Huang Wenming Bai just guessed correctly. So, he said: "Aunt Kang, the younger generation wants to destroy these two ghosts with you, how about it?" Luo Xin laughed and said: "These two ghosts are famous big names in the rivers and lakes, with the strength of the three of us, they may not even be able to fight their sons, how can I destroy these two ghosts!" Huang Wen felt the sadness and helplessness in her words. Huang Wendao: "Then how can you rescue Ling Lang?" Luo Xin sighed. Huang Wendao: "Ren Gang and Jiao Pei are the apprentices of the Demon Patriarch, but they haven't finished learning the last martial arts of the Demon Patriarch, that is the most powerful." Suddenly, Kangxi Qian rushed in and asked, "Have you learned?" Huang Wen nodded. Kang Zhaoqian took a step forward and struck out with a palm, but Huang Wendan heard the applause and hurriedly stretched out his hand to block it. Kang Zhaoqian continued to slap more than a dozen palms in a row, but was blocked by Huang Wen lightly one by one. Luo Xin let out a loud shout and slammed his palm on Huang Wen's shoulder. Huang Wenleng didn't expect Luo Xin to sneak attack him, but he didn't have time to avoid it, so he hit that palm hard. But Huang Wen didn't feel the slightest, but Luo Xin was shocked back three steps. In fact, Luo Xin and Kang Zhaoqian only wanted to test his martial arts, so they didn't use all their strength, otherwise Luo Xin might have been injured. The second elder was very happy, and Kang Zhaoqian said: "Little brother, your internal strength is really extraordinary, but you lack actual combat experience." Let's go outside and practice. Huang Wen was a little confused. Luo Xin said on the side: "Just now we were all testing your martial arts, not to hurt you. Huang Wen then understood. So, the three of them went outside together.

Although Kang Zhaoqian's martial arts are not as good as Huang Wen, he has rich experience, especially in recent years, because of his son's affairs, he has almost become someone else's killer. So, Kang Zhaoqian and Huang Wen practiced. Teach while fighting, and occasionally teach him the door of luck and exhalation.

In this way, until dawn, Kang Zhaoqian was already out of breath, and Huang Wen did not feel tired at all. Kang Zhaoqian couldn't help but sigh at the depth of Huang Wen's internal strength, and over time, it would be difficult to have an opponent in the world.

After dawn, the three of them set off for Jiangnan. Kang Zhaoqian's plan was to take the Han River, join the Yangtze River, and then go down the river to the south of the Yangtze River. Huang Wen didn't understand geography and direction, so he agreed.

The three of them had a total of two horses, Kang Zhaoqian and Luo Xin rode together, and Huang Wen rode alone. In the evening, we arrived at the edge of the Han River. This is Yicheng, a small town on the border of Xiangcheng, although it is not as good as Xiangcheng, but this time it is far away from the war, but it seems to be quiet as usual.

Cross a street and you'll come to the pier. Kang Zhaoqian looked at the large and small boats by the Han River, and was in a daze. Suddenly, a song came over: "The water of the waves is clear, you can wet my feet, and the water of the waves is turbid, you can wet my feet." Huang Wen listened and looked at the sound, but saw that a big ship in front of him was brightly lit, and the sound was the singing of a courtesan from the ship. The voice fell, and a loud voice was heard: "Okay! Sing well! Come, let the official hug." Then came the sound of ping-pong, the sound of dishes falling to the ground and shattering. Suddenly, a woman rushed out of the boat, followed by five or six big men. The woman fled to Huang Wen's side, and seeing that she was about to be overtaken, she hurriedly hid behind Huang Wen's two horses. The big man who was chasing after him was very surprised when he saw that two horses suddenly blocked the way, and there were three other people immediately. Suddenly, a voice came from the boat: "Kill those who stand in my way!" The five big men drew their waist knives and were about to rush up.

Huang Wen saw that Kang Zhaoqian and the two were indifferent, so he jumped off the horse first, pulled out the demon sword, and with five sounds, the sword cut off the knife in the hand of the big man and stabbed the body and died. Huang Wen was stunned, he didn't expect his sword to be so sharp. At this moment, another voice came from the boat: "Whoever eats the leopard's gall will dare to kill even the people of his own official!" Huang Wen was furious, and immediately jumped on the boat, brandished his sword, and when he saw someone rushing over with a knife, he killed him in the same way. killed a few in a row, and suddenly everyone didn't dare to step forward.

At this time, the previous voice trembled: "Who are you?" Huang Wen saw clearly, it turned out to be a short and fat old hair. He thought of this as the so-called "Benguan". Huang Wendao: "What kind of official are you?" The man was stunned for a moment before he said: "Zhou Guoxiang Town should make Wei Qing yes!" Huang Wenle said: "You dare to call yourself Wei Qing?" Hahahaha!" Wei Qing is a general in history, how can he be compared with such a sloppy person in front of him? Wei Qingtie said with a blushing face: "I am the Wei of Wei. Huang Wen said: "You are the Wei of the Wei State, so it is not the Zhou State?" Wei Qing said angrily: "Stinky boy, do you still want to live?" Huang Wen smiled: "Do you know who the current leader of Xiangcheng is?" Wei Qing said proudly: "It's my brother-in-law Wang Xianqi is also!" Hahahaha, Huang Wen laughed. Wei Qing continued to say proudly: "Stinky boy, you can still laugh when you hear the name of General Wang!" Huang Wen said: "Dead fat man, you are also comfortable with the fox and fake tiger! Do you know whose idea it was to break Xiangcheng in the first place?" Wei Qing said: "My brother-in-law's tenth brother of righteousness!" Hahahaha, Huang Wen couldn't help but be proud when he heard this. Back then, when he was twelve or thirteen years old, he used Zhuge tricks to help the army led by Zhao Kuangyin break through Xiangcheng. Now, Wang Xianqi has defended one side, but he still has to wander the rivers and lakes.

Huang Wendao: "I want this boat, you all get off the boat." When you go back to see my fifth brother, you will bring me a message to him: Zhuge planned back then, and parted in a blink of an eye. Nowadays, the Han water boat often recites the ten social righteousness. Seeing that the person who came was strong in martial arts, Wei Qing had been thinking of a way to get out, but now when he heard it, as long as he was on this ship, he immediately felt a lot easier. smiled happily: "It seems that this young man knows General Wang." Then we are a family, and we didn't ask for Gao's name?" Huang Wendao: "You don't have to be polite to me, I spared your life for the sake of the fifth brother's face." Get out of here!" Wei Qing repeated, "Zhuge planned back then, and parted in a blink of an eye. Now the Han water boat, often reciting the ten social righteousness, "the demon who escaped." And the people who followed Wei Qing carried away the corpses that had fallen on the boat.

Suddenly, the whole ship was empty, and even the few courtesans ran away. At this time, Kang Zhaoqian and Luo Xin got on the boat, and seeing that Huang Wen was not giving up, Kang Zhaoqian asked, "Virtuous nephew, what happened?" Although Kang Zhaoqian and Huang Wen got along for a short time, they gradually fell in love with this upright and strong martial arts child, so they all called him "virtuous nephew". Huang Wenru woke up from a dream, and at this time a woman happened to come in, who was the courtesan who was hiding behind the horse just now. She knelt on the ground and said: "Thank you Shaoxia for saving your life! The little woman has nothing to repay, she is willing to follow the young man as a slave and a maid all her life, and serve you all her life!" Huang Wen was stunned, and hurriedly shook his hand and said: "Or, no! I only have Sister Meng Xin in my heart, and I can't have any women." When the woman heard this, she burst into tears. Huang Wendao: "You go, now that you are free, Wei Qing has been driven away by me." The woman said, "Heaven and earth are so big, how can I have a place to stay." The little woman is like a rootless duckweed, since the young man is unwilling to take me in, it is useless to stay in this world. After speaking, he walked to the side of the boat and jumped into the Han water with a thud.

Huang Wen and the others were stunned, this woman actually had such a strong temperament. Huang Wen handed the sword into Kang Zhaoqian's hand and jumped down. In the blink of an eye, Huang Wen lifted the woman out of the water. Huang Wen swam to the side of the boat, grabbed the edge of the boat with his hand and pulled hard, and he and the woman had already floated out of the water and landed on the boat. Luo Xin and Kang Zhaoqian hurried over to help. Luo Xin slapped the woman's back twice, and the woman vomited the river water in her stomach and woke up. The woman said, "Since you won't let me follow you, why do you want to save me?" Huang Wen said: "I already have her in my heart, how can I let you follow me?" Besides, I can't watch you drown, right?" The woman cried again. Luo Xin said on the side: "Silly girl, since you just want to repay the favor and find someone to rely on, then you can follow Wen'er to be a maid, why are you crying?" The woman squinted at Huang Wen, and when she saw him nodding, she burst into tears and smiled, and said, "Thank you, Childe!" She saw that Huang Wen and herself were all wet, so she said, "Childe, you change your clothes first and I'll help you dry them." ”

Huang Wen found a sheltered corner and changed his clothes, and Luo Xin also changed his own clothes for the woman. By the time he was changing, Kang Zhaoqian had already loosened the ship's cable, and he was at the helm to let the big ship go down the river. When Huang Wen looked at the woman at this time, he saw that his eyes were affectionate, her skin was fair, her willow eyebrows were small, and although she was wearing Luo Xin's simple clothes, it was still difficult to hide her delicate appearance. The woman couldn't help but blush when she found that Huang Wen was looking at her. She walked over slowly and said, "The little woman Li Sufang pays a visit to her son." Huang Wen nodded and said, "Well, then you can go to Jiangnan with us." Li Sufang said: "I will go wherever the son goes." Huang Wen stopped talking. Li Sufang asked: "I don't know the name of Gongzi Gao? If someone asks which maid it is in the future, I will have an explanation." Huang Wen said his name. Li Sufang was very happy, looking at the occasional fires outside the boat, it seemed that she had never seen such a beautiful night scene.

At this time, Kang Zhaoqian and Luo Xin came down from the rudder position behind. Kang Zhaoqian said: "Wen'er, you and Miss Li will go to the helm first." The two of us cleaned up the cabin first. Huang Wen came up to take the helm. At the helm, see further. The evening breeze blew, listening to the slow sound of breaking water, and the mood was happy. At this time, I heard Li Sufang singing: "Xiangyang Xingle Place, singing and dancing white copper." Jiangcheng returns to Lushui, and the flower moon makes people fascinated. When Shangong was drunk, he was drunk in the sun. The head is white, and he rides a horse upside down. Da Hyeon Mountain is bordered by the Han River, and the water is like snow. There is a monument of fallen tears, and the moss has worn away for a long time. And drunk Xi Jia Chi, don't look at the fallen tear monument. Shangong wanted to get on the horse and kill Xiangyang'er with a smile. ”

Huang Wen couldn't help but be intoxicated when he heard this. I didn't expect Li Sufang to sing such a good song. On this moonlit night, standing so stern and looking around, it seems that he has completely forgotten what he had just killed. Huang Wen has been in the deep valley for a long time, and it has been a long time since he has enjoyed such an intoxicating night.

That night, Huang Wen took the initiative to keep vigil at the helm, and the other three slept on the table and chairs in the shipyard.

It's been a long time since I've been on such a night, the breeze is gentle, the river is slow, and I'm alone, looking at the starlight above my head, and the tranquility on both sides of the Han River, and my heart is surging. At this time, if Meng Xin is there, there is nothing else to ask for in life.

The morning sun is gradually rising in the east, the morning light is shining on the water, and the song of birds on both sides of the river can be faintly heard. The early autumn morning is still slightly cool. Huang Wen saw that the ever-changing scenery on both sides of the strait seemed to be more fascinating than the tranquility of the night.

Not long after, Li Sufang came to the wheelhouse to deliver breakfast. Although it was just a bowl of noodles, there were vegetables and meat in it, and there was a poached egg, Huang Wen couldn't help but thank Li Sufang. Li Sufang was unhappy: "You are a son, I am a maid, how can I say thank you? Huang Wen still didn't like this maid, and couldn't help blushing. Li Sufang asked Huang Wen to eat noodles quickly, but he was not polite, and finished it in a few bites. Li Sufang happily took the bowl and went down.

After a while, Kang Zhaoqian came up to change shifts with Huang Wen. Huang Wen went to the cabin to rest. Li Sufang had already laid out a simple bed made of a table for him, with a simple pillow and quilt, presumably left by the previous ship keeper. Huang Wen went to sleep.

Suddenly, the boat vibrated a few times, waking Huang Wen up. As soon as he woke up, he heard a commotion outside. The ship has stopped. Huang Wen came to the bow of the boat, but saw Luo Xin and Li Sufang arguing with a bearded man. Luo Xin said angrily: "It's such a Han water, and it's not your family, why do you want to collect money?" Li Sufang said: "Tell your head of the house to come out and see if he dares to accept his aunt's money?" Huang Wen noticed that the boat was stopped by another big boat, and this bearded man had jumped on the boat to collect the money.

At this time, a person came out of the bow of the other party's boat, dressed luxuriously, shaking a folding fan, looking amiable, and said with a smile: "Beauty, if you say you don't accept it, you won't accept it!" Li Sufang snorted: "Then you don't hurry up and tell these dogs to get out!" When the bearded man heard this, he was furious and wanted to call Li Sufang. But Huang Wen immediately moved over and blocked in front of Li Sufang. The boy who shook the folding fan jumped lightly, got to the boat, and said, "If the big and small beauties are left, the boat can drive away." Hahahaha, Kang Zhaoqian came to the bow of the boat laughing, and by the way, he brought out Huang Wen's Demon Sword and gave it to Huang Wen. Kang Zhaoqian said: "If you have the ability, stay it!"

The bearded man had long wanted to do it, but before Kang Zhaoqian's words fell, he slashed over with a tiger head knife. Who knows, as soon as Luo Xin stretched out his hand, he grabbed his wrist and twisted it hard, only to hear a click, as if his wrist had been broken. The bearded man shouted, he didn't expect this "big beauty" to have such a high level of martial arts. With a kick, Huang Wen kicked the bearded man out of the boat, plopped up, and fell into the water. The boy who shook the folding fan didn't expect that the other party would fold his general with only one move, and when he was at a loss, Kang Zhaoqian stepped forward and slapped it with one palm, only taking his chest. The boy put away the folding fan and blocked it hard, but Kang Zhaoqian's second palm had already been slapped. He hurriedly blocked the five palms, and the sixth slapped his right shoulder, he screamed, and was about to fall backwards, Kang Zhaoqian grabbed the placket of his shirt with his right hand and lifted him in the air. Suddenly, the people on the other boat's boat shouted: "Let our son-in-law go!" Kang Zhaoqian said: "Okay, you move the boat away!" The boy danced in the air: "Hero, please let go of this son!" Kang Zhaoqian ignored him and still held him in the air. It was only when the big ship moved away that he was put down. Huang Wen immediately went to the rear wheelhouse to take the helm and let the boat go down the river. Kang Zhaoqian said loudly: "You send a small boat to follow to pick up this stinky boy." So, the big boat at the helm of Huang Wen was in front and a small boat was behind, and they rushed down.

After turning a corner, the big boat that barred the river before was gone. After a while, Kang Zhaoqian released the boy and said, "Tell the boat to come and pick you up." The boy waved to the boat behind him tremblingly and shouted, "Hurry up and pick up this son." "The boat approached slowly, but the waves stirred up by the small boat and the big boat were so large that they couldn't get close at all. Kang Zhaoqian laughed, lifted him up with the collar of the son in one hand, shouted "continue", and threw it to the boat. Two people on the boat came up to pick it up, but they didn't expect Kang Zhaoqian to add internal force when he threw it, and the two of them were bounced off as soon as they touched Gongzi's body, and they fell into the water. When the four people on the big boat saw it, they burst out laughing. And the boy just took advantage of the power of the rebound to stand firmly. The boat walked a certain distance, but heard a faint voice from behind, "You even dare to provoke Qianjiang Zhongjiazhuang, wait for death!" At this time, the four of them were looking at the boat behind them in the wheelhouse, and when they heard the voice, Huang Wen couldn't help asking: "Uncle Kang, what is the origin of Qianjiang Zhongjiazhuang?" Kang Zhaoqian said: "Qianjiang Zhongjiazhuang is not famous in the rivers and lakes. The famous ones in the rivers and lakes are all martial arts masters. Look at that kid's fine skin and tender meat, what kind of character is on the rivers and lakes?" Luo Xin said: "Maybe it's the local rich man." We'll have to be careful in the future. Soon we will arrive in Hankou, and as soon as Hankou passes, we will enter the territory of the Southern Tang Dynasty, so everyone should be more careful. At the moment, Kang Zhaoqian was at the helm, Luo Xin and Li Sufang were cooking, and Huang Wen was discussing martial arts with Kang Zhaoqian.

As soon as it was dark, we entered Hankow. Hankou is an important town on the Yangtze River, where the Han River meets the Yangtze River. Soon after, it entered the territory of the Southern Tang Dynasty. There were a lot of boats at the Hankou wharf, so Huang Wen and the others found a more remote place to park the boats. Kang Zhaoqian and Huang Wen went ashore to buy food to eat on the road, leaving Luo Xin and Li Sufang on the boat.

After Huang Wen and Kang Zhaoqian went ashore, they walked towards the city. Although it was getting dark, people still had no intention of going home and closing their doors to rest in a town like Hankou, which was an important town for land and water transportation, and commerce was developed. Huang Wen looked at the stalls on both sides of the road, there were those selling aquatic products, and there were several water tanks for fish and shrimp. There are also those that sell fruits, pears, oranges, etc. There are also vegetable sellers, and there are all kinds of vegetables. Huang Wen didn't expect it to be so lively on the side of the road into the city, so he couldn't help but take a look at it. Kang Zhaoqian looked at the sky and said, "Wen'er, I see that there is everything on the side of the road, let's buy it quickly." Huang Wenwen thought that he could still go into the city for a walk, but when he heard it, he was immediately a little disappointed. Kang Zhaoqian said: "Haha, when you get to Jiangnan, it's more fun there." When the time comes, uncle and aunt will take you two little dolls to play around. After hearing this, Huang Wen was happy, after all, he was only a teenager in his twenties, and after being isolated in the deep valley for so many years, the outside world still had a great attraction to him.

Huang Wen turned his head and saw a stall selling chrysanthemums, and was very curious: "Is there more and better looking in the world than the chrysanthemums in our village!" The chrysanthemums in front of me are like gold, the petals are long and thick and flat, and each flower is almost bigger than a palm. There is a faint golden light in the afterglow, and when you get closer, the aroma is solemn. Kang Zhaoqian felt strange, why did he react to this chrysanthemum with such a solemn expression? So, he approached and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Wen'er, do you like this chrysanthemum?" Huang Wen took a chrysanthemum and showed it to Kang Zhaoqian, and said, "Uncle Kang, look, Jin Ju!" Kang Zhaoqian said disdainfully: "What's so strange about chrysanthemums?" Huang Wendao said: "This chrysanthemum is different, it's called golden chrysanthemum! Look, your petals, this color, is it the same color as gold? When you smell this fragrance, is it different from ordinary chrysanthemums?" Kang Zhaoqian looked at it, and the color was indeed special. When you smell it, the fragrance is stronger than that of ordinary chrysanthemums, but there is a different feeling, and it seems to be mixed with a metallic smell. But Kang Zhaoqian didn't pay attention to it, and said: "People are different, can flowers be the same?" Huang Wen continued: "Since childhood, people in our village have said that although there are thousands of chrysanthemums in the world, such golden chrysanthemums are only found in Budi Village. Kang Zhaoqian couldn't help but take a closer look at the chrysanthemum, and seemed to find something special, but he didn't care much about the flowers, so he didn't think so.

At this time, the two girls selling flowers said: "This son seems to know something about us, why don't you go to the house and enjoy chrysanthemums while drinking tea?" Huang Wen was very surprised when he heard her say yes. I heard that I was a little curious when I heard that I was appreciating chrysanthemums in the house. The girl pointed to the river not far from the pier and said, "The house is there, if the son has Yaxing, he can come tonight." After saying that, the two girls packed up the chrysanthemums and other things and went straight home. Huang Wen looked at their distant backs, and his heart was inexplicably yearning. Kang Zhaoqian looked at him inexplicably and said, "What is there to reward for chrysanthemums? Huang Wen agreed, but his vision was still in that direction. So, Huang Wen and Kang Zhaoqian bought some firewood, rice, oil and salt, and returned to the ship.

When they arrived at the boat, Luo Xin and Li Sufang went to cook. Huang Wen saw Kang Zhaoqian untie the boat cable and asked, "Uncle Kang, are we going to leave overnight?" Kang Zhaoqian said: "The task of going down to the south of the Yangtze River this time is arduous, and we must seize the time as soon as possible. Rest tonight, I'll take the helm, and you can get to Jinling in two or three days. Huang Wen thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Kang, I'll be back after two hours, will you wait for me?" Kang Zhaoqian saw his eager eyes and knew where he wanted to go, so he said: "Wen'er, what is the unknown danger of Mengfu, I'll accompany you, so I can take care of it." Huang Wen thought that Kang Zhaoqian had rich experience in the rivers and lakes, so he nodded and agreed. They left a note and rushed ashore, following the direction to the Meng Mansion by the faint moonlight and lights.

After running for a while, I saw a large mansion, standing by the river, two lanterns hung on the door of the house, red candlelight in the night, you can see the word "Mengfu" written on the lintel. Huang Wen and Kang Zhaoqian glanced at each other, and when they walked to the front of the house, Huang Wen knocked on the door a few times. After a while, the door slammed open. Huang Wen saw that it was the girl who called her this evening to open the door. When the girl saw that it was Huang Wen, she smiled: "It turned out to be Gongzi, but I didn't expect you to really come." Please come in!" Huang Wen and Kang Zhao entered the mansion. The girl said: "After the slave and maid returned to the house, tell Madame that there is a son who knows us, and Madame is also very surprised, and blame me for why I didn't bring you back to the house directly?" But after entering the house, the first thing is a patio, a rockery pool, and the sound of slow flowing water. Huang Wendao: "Girl and Mrs. don't blame us for disturbing at night. The young man waved his hand and said, "It's too late for us to be happy when we see you coming, how can it be strange?" he led them into the hall, but saw a woman sitting on the main seat. Huang Wen saw that the furnishings in this lobby were inexplicably familiar, but he couldn't say it.

Huang Wen saw the woman's face through the light, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Are you ...... You are...... What about Sister Xin?" The woman was also very surprised when she looked at Huang Wen carefully: "Are you ...... You are...... Wen'er!" Huang Wen was about to walk over, when suddenly a black shadow descended from the roof, and a bright sword stabbed at Huang Wen. Fortunately, Kang Zhaoqian reacted, picked up the chair next to him and threw it over, blocking the black shadow. This sudden change made Huang Wen suddenly wake up. When he looked closely, the woman was gone. When I looked back, the girl was gone. And Kang Zhaoqian, as soon as he pulled out his waist knife, fought with the black shadow. Huang Wen immediately searched in the lobby, but there was no one in sight, and then he went out of the lobby to the patio and side hall to look for it, but there was still no one. I found a few more rooms, but they were all empty. When he returned to the lobby, he saw that Kang Zhaoqian was constantly retreating, so he pulled out his demon sword and stabbed at the black shadow. The black shadow immediately dodged away, and Huang Wen made a move of "elusiveness", shaking the sword flower in eighteen parts and stabbing it. The black shadow had never seen such a strange sword move, and hurriedly stretched out his sword to block it, but who knew that Huang Wenjian was faster than the human, and stabbed the black shadow in the left shoulder with a bang. Kang Zhaoqian saw the opportunity to slash with a knife, but he heard a sound and was blocked by a sledgehammer. Kang Zhaoqian and Huang Wen were taken aback, and they didn't notice when there was one more. Make the sledgehammer and the big black shadow wield the sledgehammer, and listen to the whirring sound, which shows that this man is extremely powerful. Kang Zhaoqian and Huang Wen hurriedly took a few steps back to avoid the edge. But as soon as he retreated, the two black shadows rolled together and quickly rolled away from the ground. How could Huang Wen and Kang Zhaoqian let go so easily, and immediately jumped up and stabbed out, but they heard two knocks, both of them stabbed on the table, and the black shadow disappeared. The two drew their swords back, protected them on their chests, and stared at them for a long time by the faint light, but there was still no movement.

After a while, Kang Zhaoqian said: "Wen'er, what places have you been looking for just now?" Huang Wendao: "I have searched for everything except the backyard." So, the two fumbled open the door to the backyard, and were stunned again. But seeing that the backyard was full of golden chrysanthemums, shining with golden light, the backyard was so bright. Huang Wen was surprised: "Jin Ju! This is Jin Ju!" The two walked around the backyard, but there was still no movement. Huang Wen still wanted to stay, but Kang Zhaoqian dragged him away.

Back on the ship, Huang Wen and Kang Zhaoqian thought that the meal should be ready, so they went straight into the cabin. But seeing that it was empty, the note left was still on the table. Kang Zhaoqian secretly felt bad, and ran to the kitchen, which was also empty. Huang Wen also felt that it was not good, and shouted a few times "Aunt Kang, Fang'er", but there was no response. The two of them hurried to all corners of the ship, but they could not find them. Kang Zhaoqian and Huang Wen were busy at the bow of the boat, looking around, and couldn't see any clues. After a long time, Kang Zhaoqian sighed: "I fell for their plan to divert the tiger from the mountain. Huang Wen thought about it carefully, but still couldn't find any clue.

Suddenly, when I looked back, I saw a few torches not far from the shore, and a group of people were following the torches quickly. Kang Zhaoqian also found out and said, "Chase!" and flew off the boat and quickly chased after him. Huang Wen followed without thinking.

The group of people seemed to be moving faster, and after passing the city of Hankow, they turned into the mountain road and gradually approached. Huang Wen used his internal strength at this time, and in a few leaps, he had already jumped behind the group of people. Only then did I see clearly that the group of people, about ten people, and the four people in the middle carried two stretchers in twos and twos, each stretcher was covered with a blanket, and it seemed that a person was lying down. Huang Wen shouted, jumped over the crowd, and blocked the way. "Who are you?" and the group was surprised to see one of them blocking the way, and they all stopped. At this time, Kang Zhaoqian was already blocking the way from behind.

Walking in front was a half-white old man, clasping his fists and saying, "I don't know why the young man is blocking our way?" Kang Zhaoqian was eager to save people, rushed into the crowd, uncovered the blanket, and sure enough, Luo Xin and Li Sufang were lying on it, and the two seemed to be asleep. When the group saw that the matter was revealed, they all attacked with weapons. Seeing this, Huang Wen also pulled out the Demon Sword and fought with the old man led by him. Just a few moves, but listening to the swishing sound, Huang Wen couldn't be more familiar, and hurriedly looked up, but saw that the arrows were raining down, and he shot down the arrows that were shooting at him with his sword. Others, on the other hand, fell one after another. Kang Zhaoqian was also hit by an arrow in his left arm, but fortunately it was only grazed and did not hurt his muscles and bones. Immediately afterward, the rain of arrows struck again. This time, Huang Wen and Kang Zhaoqian were prepared, and hurriedly jumped back, and the arrows missed. As soon as their feet hit the ground, the rain of arrows followed, and the two jumped back and dodged again. But at this moment, four people jumped down from the mountain, carried a stretcher and fled. Huang Wen couldn't bear it anymore at this time, and jumped up with all his might, but just as he jumped, a rain of arrows swished and flew again. Huang Wen blocked the arrow in the air, but when he landed, he was still a step slower, and the four of them had already entered the mountain forest. Kang Zhaoqian said loudly: "Wen'er, you go and chase after me, don't wait for me!" Huang Wen listened, and also jumped into the mountain forest, saw the black shadow in front of him shaking, and quickly chased after him.

Huang Wen followed the black shadow over two mountains, that is, he came to a small stream. The black shadow stopped, and Huang Wen took a closer look, but there was only one person. Huang Wen saw that the black shadow seemed to be waiting for him, and he couldn't help but be terrified, but because of his strong martial arts, he slowly approached and asked, "Who are you?" The black shadow didn't look back, and chanted: "When autumn comes on September 8, I will kill a hundred flowers after the flowers bloom." The heavenly incense array penetrates Chang'an, and the city is full of golden armor. When Huang Wen heard this, he was shocked: "Isn't this a poem engraved on the big stone at the entrance of our village?" The black shadow said: "Huang Wen, if you want to save the lives of these two people, on the tenth day of the tenth month of October, in the south of Jinling City, Xiaomeng Villa, Li Jingsui will be raised to exchange the lives of these two people!" After speaking, the black shadow jumped over the stream and disappeared into the mountain forest.

Huang Wen was in a trance, and when he returned to the mountain road, he saw Kang Zhaoqian looking around. Kang Zhaoqian and Huang Wen were very disappointed when he came back alone, and wanted to ask but didn't speak. Huang Wendao: "Uncle Kang, have you found anything?" Kang Zhaoqian shook his head and looked at him. Huang Wendao: "I lost it." However, there is still a chance. Kang Zhaoqian asked: "What opportunity?" Huang Wendao: "Tell us to go to Xiaomeng Villa in the south of Jinling City to exchange for Aunt Kang and Fang'er on the tenth day of October." Kang Zhaoqian said: "Jinling is not difficult, but who is Li Jingsui?" Huang Wen shook his head and said: "I only said that I wanted his head, but I didn't say who it was." Kang Zhaoqian said: "Well, since I only said a name, presumably this person must have a certain reputation in Jinling, and we will naturally be able to find out when we arrive in Jinling." So, the two quickly returned to the ship, set sail overnight, and ran to Jinling.

Huang Wen took the initiative to take the helm, Kang Zhaoqian casually made something to eat, and after the two of them ate, he went to rest. Kang Zhaoqian has experienced countless sinister rivers and lakes, and he has become accustomed to it, and he quickly fell asleep. And Huang Wen couldn't calm down for a long time. Jin Ju, "Fu Ju" ...... These lingered in Huang Wen's heart. He knew in his heart that Jin Ju was only available in Budi Village, so why did it become here? That poem, that black shadow deliberately read it to him, what was the purpose? Did he want to identify himself? Or did he have another purpose? Who was that black shadow? Does he know himself? He thought about it again, was it related to Meng Xin? The woman in Meng Mansion seemed to be Meng Xin's mother? Why did it suddenly disappear again? Those arrows were shot in almost the same way as when Shi Shouxin was shot, and now in retrospect, it seems to be the same as the method of the teacher who taught everyone bows and arrows in the village?...... Too many questions appeared in Huang Wen's mind.

In this way, it was dawn, Kang Zhaoqian had already made breakfast and came up to change shifts, and Huang Wen went down to eat and rest in a trance.
