It was getting dark very quickly, and not long ago it was full of smoke, and in the blink of an eye the night was in all directions, and the dark river was lit up with fire, and the two boats were heading towards the shore one after the other. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Wu Wei looked at it, there were more than a dozen people standing on the boat closer, and between the swaying of the torches, a woman's hands were tied behind her back, it must be Sun.

"Deng Ming! You come down for me! Ma Zheng was already so angry that his face was red, and he drew his knife and pointed at the sturdy man on the bow of the ship and shouted.

"Horse leader, I'm sorry." The man replied, "If you want to save your mother-in-law, put down the knife and go back with us." Otherwise, we won't be patient. He glanced back. Holding Sun's subordinates without saying a word, he pulled out a dagger and stabbed her in the shoulder. Sun's mouth was gagged, he couldn't shout, he wanted to squat down in pain, but he was forced to pull up again, and his shoulders were red.

Ma Zheng gritted his teeth, his hand holding the knife trembled, and he said angrily: "Dog thief, to tell you the truth, who instructed you? ”

Deng Ming put his hand on his chest and said, "I have no comment." Are you coming or not coming? ”

At this time, the people in the stealth trench were also nervous. This time, Ma Zheng brought five people, plus Zhao Kun's twelve people, and Wuwei, the number of people on both sides was equal, and it seemed that the Flying Dragon Castle couldn't take advantage of the real fight, but seeing that they were merciless to the Sun family, they were arrogant, and the situation seemed to be not good. Wuwei also noticed that the boat behind was parked far from the shore, and there were no lights on the boat, so he didn't know what tricks were hidden.

I saw that the horse was throwing his knife on the river beach, and said to the boat, "Come, what do you want from me?" ”

Deng Ming said: "Okay." The leader of the horses is indeed a good man. To the four people behind him, he said, "Go and tie him up." The four men were commanded, jumped out of the boat, and when they had gone ashore, they tied their horses firmly and brought them to the boat.

Wuwei glanced at Zhao Kun. Zhao Kun said softly: "It's fast, it's fast." Wait for them to get to the edge of the boat...... Well, they're distracted. Right now! Shoot! "The crossbowmen on both sides had already loaded their crossbow arrows, and when they heard the order, they shot their crossbows straight at the people of Wyvern Castle at the bow. At the same time, Zhao Kun led the rest of the people to jump out of the trench with Wuwei and rushed straight to the boat on the shore.

Wuwei made great efforts and jumped to the side of the ship first. Fang Cai's arrow hit several people, and Deng Ming was also hit by an arrow in his arm, and the boat was already in chaos. Wuwei knocked the person holding Ma Zheng into the water with a few punches, and immediately helped him loosen his ties. Zhao Kun and his people also besieged it at this moment, and the people of Feilong Castle were in a hurry to parry, and the ship was suddenly in chaos. Just as Ma Zheng was pushing away several people and trying to save Sun's head, suddenly several black shadows swept by, and before he could blink, several cold lights broke through the air, and Ma Zheng shouted: "Be careful of hidden weapons!" Dodging and dodging, he was still slashed in the shoulder by a throwing knife. Listening to several calls behind him, he looked back and saw that several people had been hit, and two of them fell to the ground.

Looking closely, all the people who came were dressed in black and masked, a total of six people, holding the same steel knife, fast and accurate, and extraordinary body skills. Before he had time to come back to his senses, three of them had already swung their knives and slashed at Ma Zheng. The horse was gasping for air, but there was no blade in his hand at this time, and in a hurry, he pulled up the rope that was placed on the side of the ship, and responded to the enemy.

Wu Wei kicked away the thugs of Feilong Castle who were blocking in front of him, and shouted at Zhao Kun: "Go and help the horse leader, I'll come here!" Zhao Kun nodded, and then jumped away with a false move, Wuwei flew forward, and forced the black-clothed knife hand back to the side of the boat with a few palms. Wu Wei turned back, and the other two swordsmen attacked together. These people's skills are not weak, they dare not slack off, and they do have to work harder against the white blade empty-handed, although they frequently force the two to retreat, but in an instant, the two of them will turn back again, and they are very entangled. In the gap, Wuwei glanced at Ma Zheng's side, but one person who had just jumped into the river climbed onto the boat from the other side at some point, Ma Zheng and Zhao Kun were in danger of being two against four. Wuwei was anxious, gritted his teeth, changed his moves in vain, and used hurtful tactics head-on. Within a few rounds, a man in black was thrown out with a punch and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, the other person immediately pulled out his feet and withdrew, pulled up his accomplice from the ground, and pretended to jump into the river to escape. But at the moment when Wuwei relaxed, he raised his hand and shot a flying knife, not towards Wuwei, but flew straight to the Sun who was hiding by the mast, still being tied! Wuwei yelled that it was not good, but it was too late, and with a knife to seal his throat, Sun fell.

When Ma Zheng saw Sun's knife, he was horrified, his hand was loosened, and he was stabbed by the man in black. Zhao Kun was too busy to take care of himself, and he was in danger. Wuwei didn't have time to see Sun, so he immediately came to the rescue, opened his bow left and right, and the two black-clothed men were about to lose. At this time, Zhao Kun suddenly exclaimed: "Old horse, you hold on!" Wuwei was frightened, just saw a gap, kicked the man in black on the opposite side into the river, and looked at it in a blink of an eye, only to see the horse covering the left side of his body, blood gushing between his fingers, and the opponent was about to cut it with a knife. At this time, I really hated that I didn't give birth to three heads and six arms. He had to shake off his opponent first, and stepped forward to push Ma Zheng, who was inches away from the blade, and his forearm was cut by the tip of the knife. didn't have time to breathe, so he immediately put his fists together and took the head and abdomen of the man in black. The man in black had to take care of one of them, and was knocked unconscious by Wuwei's punch.

Wu Wei immediately turned around, thinking that there were still two people, his heart was anxious, and when he looked up, he saw that the black-clothed man who was the opponent of Fang Cai and Zhao Kun had already withdrawn at this time, and the other person also flashed his figure, picked up the fainting accomplice, gestured to the opposite boat, and immediately jumped away together. looked at Ma Zheng again, but he had fallen to the ground.

Zhao Kun rushed forward to help Ma Zheng up, looked at the wound, raised his head, and said to Wuwei with a sad face: "It's not good." The bleeding probably won't stop. "Wuwei has never seen so much blood shed. At this time, he couldn't bear the discomfort in his heart and looked carefully, and he stabbed into the main bloodline with a knife. The planks of the boat beneath the horse were covered with blood, his face was gray, and his mind seemed to be blurred. Wuwei was speechless for a while. Zhao Kun was also at a loss.

"Boss! Top dog! One of Ma Zheng's men ran over. Seeing that Ma was like this, he was stunned and said, "Steward Zhao, what ...... What should Deng Ming do? He pointed at it. Over there, Deng Ming and the remnants of Flying Dragon Castle were all captured. Zhao Kun didn't look at it, and said indignantly: "What else do you want to ask." All of them are cut! ”

Wuwei listened to the words, although he couldn't bear it in his heart, he couldn't say anything, he could only barely listen to the screams coming from behind him, and reached out to pinch Ma Zheng's people. After a moment, Ma Zheng came back to his senses, opened his eyes slightly, and asked, "My wife...... Wife, how's it going? Wuwei hesitated for a moment, shook his head and whispered, "I'm sorry." Failed to save. Ma Zheng closed his eyes, sighed, and opened his eyes again: "I won't do it." Shangguan Gongzi, if it weren't for you, we would all die at their hands today. I...... I'll ask you something. Wu Wei nodded and said, "Say it." ”

"My two little ones can't stay in my hometown anymore. I have a younger brother named Ma Lian, in Dengfeng, Henan, there is a cottage called ...... Tianfeng Village. Please ...... Send them ...... Go. After barely finishing a sentence, Ma Zheng lost his strength and passed out.

Zhao Kun said: "Shangguan Gongzi." Ma Lian I know, let's go back and discuss it. You can't stay here for long. ”

After the people hastily buried the body, they carried Ma Zheng and the bodies of the wounded, Sun and three of their own people back to the town. Ma Zheng lost too much blood and lacked the skills to return to heaven, and died that night. Zhao Kun recalled that he had killed all the people in Flying Dragon Castle in a fit of rage, but he missed the clue to track down the real murderer, and regretted it.

Two days later, the group returned to Chang'an City. Guan Shoutang never expected this to be the result, he was silent for a long time, summoned several leaders under him, and entered the room with Wuwei and Zhao Kun to discuss in detail. After Zhao Kun stated the whole story, the old man was full of sadness, leaning back in the chair and saying nothing. Several leaders also had no clue, and looked at each other, Guan Chihu suddenly got up and volunteered to say that he was willing to take on the task of tracking down the real murderer. Seeing this, Wuwei was puzzled, when he saw the corpse of Ma Zheng and his wife, only he was not shocked, at this time he was so active, it was difficult to say that he was inseparable from this matter, remembering the conversation between Ma Zheng and Zhao Kun a few days ago, the suspicion in his heart was even stronger, so he quietly looked at Zhao Kun, only to see him with his head down, without much expression. In the end, Guan Shoutang agreed to Guan Chihu's request with a tired face. The crowd dispersed.

When he went out, Wuwei saw Ma Teng and Ma Qian brothers and sisters crying in front of their parents' bodies. Ma Teng looked up and saw Wuwei coming over, grabbed his sleeve, and choked up: "Shangguan Gongzi, who killed my father?" I must take revenge! ”

Wuwei couldn't bear it in his heart, and pressed his hand lightly and said, "The person who killed your father and mother is dead." Your father, entrust me to take you and your sister to your uncle's. Although I knew that there were other people who killed Ma Zheng and his wife, for the children, knowing it would only add to the trouble.

That night, Zhao Kun began to arrange the funeral of Ma Zheng and his wife, and also told Wuwei about Ma Zheng's younger brother Ma Lian. In fact, when Yema was talking about "Tianfeng Village", Wuwei had an impression. Isn't that the Tianfeng Village that he visited with Dongfang Lin last year to track down the treasures stolen by the Thief Gate, inquire about the truth and truth from the local green forest leader? The owner of the village is called Ma Lian. It turned out that Ma was his brother. Knowing that Wuwei had seen Ma Lian, Zhao Kun was even more relieved, so he arranged two old servants of the Ma family to send the brothers and sisters to Henan with Wuwei.

After the planning was completed, everyone rested in peace, and they couldn't help it, so they quietly asked Zhao Kun: "Steward Zhao, do you also think that the matter of the horse leader may be an internal ghost?" I wanted to mention Guan Chihu, but when the words came to my mouth, I changed my words. Zhao Kun's eyes flickered, and he groaned for a while, and said, "I know what you mean." But the people in the government alone don't have such ability. Whoever is behind the help, I don't think it's someone we can afford to mess with. The old man is old, so don't be embarrassed for him. After a moment, he sighed to himself: "It seems that we old ones are useless." ”

Five days later, it was the first seven days after the death of Ma Zheng and his wife, and the whole government came out together to bury the two in the suburbs. After that, Wuwei took the Ma brothers and sisters to Henan.

Nothing to say all the way. In July, I went to Dengfeng County.

With Dongfang Lin's visit to Tianfeng Village is last year's thing, Wuwei can't remember the way to the cottage, only know that in the Qingniuling of Songshan, so a few people settled in the county first, and went out to inquire the next morning. Who knows, when I went to the bottom of the mountain to ask, I was told that in the spring of this year, Tianfeng Village was surrounded and suppressed by officers and soldiers, and the owner of the village had long since disappeared. Wuwei suddenly ran out of ideas, if he couldn't find Ma Lian, how to settle the Ma brothers and sisters?

Thinking about it, the only way is to ask the nearby Jianghu colleagues, maybe they have news. In addition to Tianfeng Village on this Song Mountain, there are only Shaolin Temple and the thief door. Although the thief door has been there, there is no one to guide him, and he must not find a place on his own. And how can a Zen sect like Shaolin Temple interact with green forest characters. At the moment, there is no clue, instead of being helpless, it is better to try your luck at Shaolin Temple first.

When we arrived at the Shaolin Temple, it was almost dusk. Because he visited the abbot last time, the monk still knows him. Wuwei asked him, and as expected, although Shaolin Temple heard that the cottage was surrounded and suppressed, it did not know Ma Lian's whereabouts. Seeing Wuwei's anxious face, the monk suggested that Qingniuling was in Taimur Mountain, and he could go to the temple there to inquire again. Wuwei remembered the Fawang Temple he had visited last year, and it was not far from the thief gate, so he spent the night in Shaolin Temple and returned to Taimur Mountain early the next morning.

But I still don't know. After autumn, the rain gradually increased, and soon after arriving at the Fawang Temple, a heavy rain will stop Wuwei in the temple, nothing has been settled, and I don't know what to do, Wuwei sits listlessly under the eaves of the back door of the Daxiong Treasure Hall. It was overcast, and it looked like it was going to rain into the evening.

When I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard the monk in front of the hall say: "The donor of the house, it's been a long time." Please go to the back hall and sit down, and the poor monk will go to inform the abbot elders. ”

Wuwei turned around, only to see the monk leading a talented person towards the back door. The man and Wuwei looked at each other, and their eyes lit up. That Xiucai exclaimed: "Shangguan Gongzi! "It's none other than the thief door master room Tongbao. Wuwei immediately got up and stepped forward. Fang Tongbao said: "I haven't seen you for a long time, what kind of wind blew the son here?" Fang was polite. Wuwei replied: "What a coincidence." I was entrusted to visit Ma Lian, the owner of Tianfeng Village, and yesterday I knew that the cottage was surrounded and suppressed, and I visited everywhere, but there was no news of the owner of the Ma Village. Alas, I wanted to ask my brother about it, but I didn't know the way. Fang Tongbao sighed: "This is really a coincidence." Let's go to the back hall and talk about it in detail. ”

The monk led the two to the meditation room in the backyard and served tea. Wuwei only knew that it turned out that Fang Tongbao was really the big donor who reshaped the golden body of the Buddha statue in Fawang Temple. This time I was going to Hangzhou, passing by the temple, and by the way to see the abbot. When he heard that Wuwei came to Ma Lian, he said with a regretful face: "Alas, the owner of Ma Zhai is a good man, and he offended the corrupt officials, which led to this disaster." I happened to be passing by that day, and I led him to my door. After the limelight, I learned that many brothers in the cottage were killed by the government. ”

"And where is he now?" Knowing that Ma Lian was not dead, a stone fell to the ground in Wuwei's heart.

The cottage was scattered, and he had no whereabouts, so he thought about abandoning the darkness and turning to the light, and went to Hangzhou to ask the Sword Pavilion, saying that he was going to go to the right path. Two months later, I was asked to bring a letter to me, asking the master of the Sword Pavilion if he was a good man, and gave him an errand to take care of the tea garden. Fang Tongbao said with a smile: "According to me, he has now put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot." ”

Wuwei didn't expect this to be the case, but when he thought about it, it was so good. The brother and sister are young and the rivers and lakes are sinister, if they can live under the protection of the Sword Pavilion from now on, it is reassuring.

Knowing that Wuwei was going to take the Ma family brothers and sisters to Hangzhou, Fang Tongbao immediately said: "If the son doesn't dislike it, I can go with you." This time, I was specifically looking for Sima Gongzi, so let's go see Ma Lian by the way. ”

"Sima Gongzi?" Wuwei was puzzled, "He's not in Luoyang?" ”

"I just came back from Luoyang. I heard Mrs. Li say that a few days ago he offended a lot of martial arts colleagues in the capital, and now he came to apologize, and secondly, he came to ask the old pavilion master of the Sword Pavilion who was seriously ill, they were relatives, so Mrs. took him to treat and recuperate for the old pavilion master, so he has been in Hangzhou recently. ”

"Oh." Wu Wei nodded.
