Ding Si rode his horse and galloped out of two or three miles in one breath, and when he saw that he had left the hotel far behind, he pulled the reins and slowed down the horse.

The woman dressed as a man followed closely behind and slowed her horse down.

After catching up with Ding Si, the man and woman asked, "Ding Gongzi, was there anything strange about that hotel just now?" "This woman is also smart, just now Ding Si provoked for no reason, she has felt abnormal, she has been chased by people again and again recently, and she has long been vigilant in her heart.

Ding Si then told the story of what had just happened.

After hearing this, the man and woman felt afraid, looked at Ding Si and said gratefully: "Ding Gongzi, you are really kind-hearted." ”

This woman's appearance is very beautiful, although she is dressed as a man, but she still sees one or two, Ding Si was seen by her, for some reason, her heart "boom" jumped, and her face turned a little red for no reason.

The woman in men's clothes said again: "The next surname is Bai Mingyi, it was ......" She hesitated for a while, as if she didn't know whether to say it, pondered for a while, and then said: "I was originally a Red Lotus Sect, the two people you saw yesterday, the younger surname is Ni Hongshang, and the older one is Bian Mama, we went from Guangxi to Beijing, and we had something important to see the Holy Aunt. I heard that the holy aunt haunted in Yesanpo today, but yesterday Mama Bian's old injury recurred, and Hongshang accompanied her in Beijing, so I had to go to Yesanpo alone. Thinking of the heavy responsibility of this trip, and not knowing whether the task can be successfully completed, I can't help frowning slightly.

Ding Si saw that this girl was alone, and his pride came spontaneously, and he said to her: "White girl, I see that you are alone, if you can trust it, I will simply run with you." ”

When Bai Yi heard this, he was overjoyed, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he hesitated: "Ding Gongzi is chivalrous, he helped us twice in a row, and he has not been thanked for such a great favor, how can he be embarrassed to trouble Gongzi again?" ”

Ding Si was also bold: "White girl, it's not worth worrying about." In the next single word a four, you and I are brothers along the way, now take advantage of the early days, let's set off in time. ”

After finishing speaking, he slapped the horse and ran straight in the direction of Yesanpo.

Yesanpo is located in the northwest of Laishui County, the mountain is majestic, the scenery is beautiful, but it is also a good place to play. It's just that there are a few uninvited guests in Ye Sanpo today, and the Red Lotus Sect and his party are here to meet with an important person. What is the purpose of this person's here, only the Holy Aunt and the Dharma Protector know the secret.

In a clean room on the mountainside of Yesanpo, Ma Qingxue, the holy aunt of the Red Lotus Sect, and the Dharma Protector Cheng Shi Long are talking in detail with a man, Ma Qingxue is forty years old, her face is slightly round, her phoenix eyes are slightly picked, she is full of heroism, and she is also a beauty when she looks young, but the years are not forgiving, and there is gradually white hair between the green silks, and crow's feet also quietly climb up the corners of her eyes. Jackie Shilong is also in his early forties, with a Chinese face, a pair of eyes full of brilliance, a high nose bridge, a tall figure, and a polite appearance, but in fact, he is both wise and brave. The person sitting opposite the two of them was the same age as Cheng Shilong, tall, with a cold face, a wide mouth and a wide nose, and a white beard, giving people a cold and incomparably cold feeling, coupled with a black dress, which made people feel more and more gloomy.

The matter discussed by the three of them was very confidential, and all the people who served with them waited outside, and about an hour later, Ma Jingxue and the man went out side by side, followed by Jackie Shilong.

As soon as he got out, the man waved his hand, and a group of men and horses stepped forward.

The man glanced at Ma Yanxue and said with a smile: "This matter can be described as mutually beneficial, and I hope that the Holy Aunt will think about it carefully." Although he said with a smile, the man's voice was sharp and cold, and he didn't even give people the slightest smile.

Ma Yingxue's face was full of smiles: "This matter is very important, and I am allowed to discuss it with the sect." ”

The man expected that Ma Qingxue would answer like this, and he was not angry, and left calmly with everyone, his face was calm, but he was quite annoyed in his heart, he hated Ma Qingxue and Cheng Shilong's ambiguous attitude, and did not give a clear answer, but thinking that he had been told by thousands of people before he came, he must do it, he couldn't help but sigh again, and secretly slandered, I don't know where that person heard about the Yellow Turban Army in the late Han Dynasty, he must cooperate with the Red Lotus Sect, otherwise, with the attitude of the Red Lotus Sect today, he was going to lose his temper at that time.

Ma Qingxue didn't know what the man was thinking, and when she saw the man's back disappear on the mountain road, she turned her head and said to Cheng Shilong: "Cheng Protector, what do you think of this matter?" ”

Cheng Shilong pondered for a while before saying: "Holy Aunt, this matter is undoubtedly a conspiracy with the tiger, and if you are not careful, it will lead to monstrous disasters in the sect." ”

Ma Qingxue bowed her head and said, "Then let's think about it in the long run." ”

During the discussion, I saw horses galloping on the mountain road, and four or five people were rushing to this side, the first one was the woman who appeared in the hotel, but at this time the corners of the mouth were also full of smiles, and there was a lot less anger.

Ma Qingxue saw the woman galloping over, and couldn't help but wonder: "I remember Li Zijian, the hall master of the Fengtang who was in charge of guarding today, why did Duan Qinglian rush over, could it be that something happened in the capital?" ”

It turns out that the Red Lotus Sect has four halls, named after wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, because today's matter is very important, so the highest martial arts Feng Tang Hall Master Li Zijian was sent to guard, and the woman who came was Duan Qingping, the Lei Hall Master.

As she spoke, the woman had dismounted and came to her, because she was acquainted, Li Zijian didn't ask, nodded and smiled, which was regarded as a hello.

Duan Qinglian stepped forward with a smile on her face: "Holy Aunt, Shang Protector, things are going well today, right?" Without waiting for the two to answer, they explained to themselves: "I just went to the neighborhood to deal with something, and I thought that the Holy Aunt and the Dharma Protector were here, so I came here to meet them. ”

Ma Qingxue was not suspicious, and said to Duan Qinglian: "Today's matter is too complicated, I will discuss it with you carefully when I return to the capital." Suddenly remembered something again, and said to Duan Qinglian: "Qinglian, during the period when I left Beijing with the monk protector, there was news of the Holy Maiden. ”

Duan Qinglian's heart couldn't help jumping, but there was nothing abnormal on her face, and she was still smiling: "No, I'm also wondering, saying that I will enter Beijing at the beginning of the month, why has it been so long, and there has been no news of the two of them." ”

The group chatted and returned the way they came. Just walked a while, suddenly a man came running from a distance, muttering a few words in Li Zijian's ear, Li Zijian couldn't help but "huh" after hearing a few words, and when his subordinates finished reporting, with a wave of his hand, the man stood aside with his hands down, listening to the instructions.

Only then did Li Zijian step forward and say: "Holy Aunt, Dharma Protector, there was a report just now, the suspension bridge on the way back was destroyed, and there is no way back." ”

It turned out that today's matter was too important, so the two sides chose a particularly remote place, there was a river channel on the way, the water was turbulent, and a suspension bridge was erected on the river, and the bridge deck was narrow, allowing only one person and one rider to pass.

When Cheng Shilong heard the report, his heart couldn't help but move, before today's negotiation, the other party obviously sent someone to guard the drawbridge, how could it be destroyed for no reason? In this way, it must be the man in black who crossed the bridge and asked him to destroy the bridge to warn the Red Lotus Sect.

He looked up at Ma Qingxue, Ma Qingxue also had a faint melancholy on her face, and felt more and more that the man in black was acting viciously, and it was really impossible to judge whether this secret conversation was a blessing or a curse.

As everyone knows, he wronged the man in black, and it was a coincidence that after the man in black crossed the bridge and evacuated the people, Duan Qinglian and his party rushed to the side of the bridge.

Seeing that no one expressed surprise, Duan Qinglian felt that she was lucky, if she followed Cheng Shilong's usual wit, it would be difficult to fool her at this time without a lot of effort. Thinking about it again, it is said that no one is perfect, and Cheng Shilong is not a god, how can he be counted in front of everything. Thinking about it like this, it lightens the heart of Cheng Shilong, who is usually afraid of Cheng Shilong.

Li Zijian saw that everyone was speechless, and said: "Holy aunt, so we have to go to the Juma River and return by boat." ”

The next group rushed to the Juma River.
