. "This is it?" Ding Yuluo looked at everything in front of him in amazement.

A low thatched house with a courtyard wall made of rubble bricks. Outside the wall is a stinking ditch, full of filth, dead cats, dead dogs, vegetable leaves, and yellow and white things, floating on the muddy and foul water, slowly flowing into the distance. Although the people living here are poor, the river is so smelly that the nearby shacks are dilapidated and uninhabited.

"That's right." The splashy smile: "I recently moved in to rent, I have a leg injury, and I look the same age, this one matches the one in Wuni Alley." I don't dare to say anything else, this kind of effort to find someone, a hundred catches are not as fast as me, even if it is a mouse that only gets into the hole, I can dig it out, as for whether it is the person that the son is looking for, I dare not guarantee it. ”

Ding Yu took a hand, and a string of heavy hanging money fell into the man's hand, and the man checked it, with a smile on his face: "If you don't guess wrong, the son should be seeking revenge, right?" I think that person looks like a practitioner, do you need to help in the next, the stumbling and beating the yin man behind the stuffy stick, the most good at the next, the son only needs to pay another penny, in the next ......"

Ding Yuluo waved his hand coldly, and the man stopped talking in amusement, smiled and arched his hand to her and quickly fled.

Ding Yuluo stood quietly for a while, then walked towards the courtyard, just stepped into the courtyard, the door creaked open, a cripple wearing oil-stained tattered robes was coming out of the room, the two collided, and the body froze there for a long time without moving.

Suddenly, the man turned around sharply and was about to flee into the room with a lame leg, Ding Yuluo scolded: "Where else can you escape?" ”

The cripple stopped, his body trembled sharply, and slowly turned around, Ding Yuluo approached step by step, clenched the hilt of his sword and sneered: "Sure enough, it's you, I still can't believe that you will hide in such a place, and now, can you still escape?" ”

Ding Chengye's cheeks twitched for a while, and he suddenly smiled sadly, stood up and said: "Sister, it's really difficult for you, chasing from Bazhou to Khitan, from Khitan to Tang, thousands of miles, now I'm hiding in this kind of place, you can find it, okay!" I don't want to run away, I don't want to run anymore, you can kill if you want to, live like this, it's better to live than to die, to die...... It's also ......."

Ding Yuluo slowly drew his sword out of the sheath, and said coldly: "You killed your father and brother, plotted to rob the head of the family, and ruined a good Ding family, and also ruined yourself." This is your own fault, and you can still live if you do evil in heaven. and thou shalt not live. Ding Chengye, how could the Ding family have such a son like you who killed his father and brother and lost his conscience? ”

The tip of the sword was already on Ding Chengye's chest, Ding Chengye couldn't avoid it, and said with a miserable smile: "I'm damned, I didn't expect that I would end up in this step." In fact...... I had no ambition to be the head of the family at all. The only wrong thing I did was just having a personal affair with my sister-in-law, and everything else was not forced by others? ”

Ding Yu was furious: "You still have to quibble now, killing your father and killing your brother, who will force you?" The sword in her hand tightened, and it was already three points into the flesh, and blood overflowed.

Ding Chengye said in a dumb voice: "I was willing to be a second young master who had no worries about food and clothing, and I never thought of usurping the position of the head of the family. But...... Later, the eldest brother had an accident, who was left in the Ding family besides me? I have to do it if I don't want to, I deserve it, and yet ......"

He sneered: "Big brother doesn't look down on me, and my father doesn't look down on me, they would rather go to great lengths to help a house slave up, who doesn't laugh at me behind my back?" My friends, even my family members, and even my sister-in-law, who doesn't despise me? ”

He suddenly hissed, "I don't want to be the head of the family that has worked so hard, but why should I give it up when it should have fallen on my head?" Why give what should be mine to a wild seed! The eldest brother wants to support a wild seed to press on his own brother's head, and if he is unkind, I will be unjust! ”

"Livestock! Leave the Ding family to you? Don't say that you will carry forward the Ding family, even if you keep your business, are you that material? Do you have a reason to hurt your eldest brother for this? The eldest brother never thought that before handing over the family business to the second brother, are you worthy of him? To this day, you still have to quibble, everything is someone else's fault, you will always be innocent, and you have no choice but to kill your father? ”

Ding Chengye's face changed several times, and he avoided talking about it, but said with a sad smile: "People, why do you want to grow up?" When I grow up, there are a lot of **, women, money, power, greed, jealousy, and hatred. When I grow up, many things that I thought were the most important when I was a child will be worthless. The character who used to be very despised, he will become him, and he will harm others, if he never grows up...... How nice it ......."

Ding Yuluo said coldly: "Are you finished?" After that, you can die, no matter how clever you talk now, don't want me to spare you, today, you must die! ”

Ding Chengye's eyes flickered, he looked straight out of the courtyard over Ding Yuluo's shoulder, and said with some surprise: "I said, how can you find me, did you find those catchers to help?" ”

"Huh?" Ding Yu subconsciously turned his head, his eyes only moved slightly, Ding Chengye suddenly turned to the side, and hit Ding Yuluo's shoulder with a punch. His punch was gaining momentum for a long time, Ding Yuluo was difficult to avoid, and was hit by his punch in the shoulder bone, and in the cry of pain, the short sword fell to the ground.

Ding Chengye grabbed the sword in his hand, and smiled with a vulture: "If you want to kill, you will kill, do you still have to count my sins?" ”

Ding Yuluo's body flashed, his eyes flashed, looking for something available in the courtyard, and said coldly: "If you take the sword, can you run for your life?" ”

Ding Chengye smiled cruelly: "Although I have a wound on my leg, you are barehanded. You and I are almost the same in martial arts, can you still kill me now? Your younger brother is insidious and cunning, incorruptible and shameless, and he is already full of evil, can't you stand it? If you can't stand it, then go to Jiuquan to accompany that old thing! ”

Ding Chengye endured the pain in his leg, leaned forward and slashed at Ding Yuluo, the sword in his hand only moved, and he heard a strange roar of "woo", Ding Chengye screamed miserably, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground, and at the same time, there was an extra crutch on the ground.

The two of them looked at the gate of the courtyard together, and saw an old man in a somewhat hunchbacked Ge robe slowly pacing into the courtyard, and said in a deep voice: "Although it is said that people are about to die, and his words are good, but is he still a person?" If you want to kill, you will kill, and you still expect him to repent when he dies, don't you play the harp to the cow? ”

Ding Yuluo looked at him suspiciously, and said sneeringly: "Thank you seniors for your help, I don't know ...... seniors Name? ”

Ding Chengye hurriedly hooked up his crutches, held the side of his injured leg, picked up the short sword again, and sneered: "Everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door, and doesn't care about the frost on the tiles of others." Old man, you are already half of the earth, do you think you have lived too long? ”

Yang Hao sneered, forced towards him step by step, and when he passed by Ding Yuluo's side, he suddenly reached out and touched her waist.

Although Ding Yuluo did not regard him as an enemy, the instinctive vigilance of a martial arts practitioner made her subconsciously step back, and slashed at the wrist of the white-bearded old man with one palm. I didn't want this old man to be very fast, and his palm was back as soon as he poked it out, Ding Yuluo only felt that the belt was light, and when he looked closely, the scabbard inserted in the belt had already fallen into the hands of the white-bearded old man.

The old man held the hilt of his sword and danced a few times, and suddenly stabbed Ding Chengye's throat with a sheath, and although the move was disorderly, it was as fast as lightning. Ding Chengye was taken aback, and hurriedly raised his sword to meet him, the two swords came and went, and they only fought for seven or eight rounds, only to hear a "bang" sound, and Ding Chengye's sword was inserted into the old man's scabbard.

Ding Chengye was stunned, before he could draw the sword, the old man had twisted the scabbard, a strong force came, Ding Chengye couldn't hold the hilt, the short sword was snatched away by the split, the old man will also enter the sheath, his fingers turned the sword in the air, whistling and turning twice, the short sword flew away, swished, and was inserted back into Ding Yuluo's waist.

This swordsmanship is really wonderful, Ding Chengye knew that the difference between each other's art was too far, and he couldn't help but change his face greatly, and hurriedly raised his left hand to fight, the old man had already bullied him when he was making a gesture, and took back the crutch with his hand, "Bang bang bang!" Shoulders, two ribs, two calves, jujube sticks hit several times, Ding Chengye screamed again and again, and fell to the ground with a bang, leaning over and holding his head and shouting: "I...... I have no grievances with you, why...... Why did you harm me? ”

"Are we innocent?" Yang Hao smiled coldly, ripped off his false eyebrows and beard under his chin, and regained his original tone.

Ding Chengye saw his appearance clearly, only stunned, and said in a trembling voice: "You...... You...... Are you a human or a ghost? ”

Ding Yuluo saw Yang Hao's appearance clearly, and shouted in surprise and joy: "Second brother, you ...... You're alive? As he spoke, tears of joy welled up in his eyes. Yang Hao stared at Ding Chengye, but he didn't turn his head to look at her, and Ding Yuluo's eyes couldn't help but darken.

"You...... You're not dead? Ding Chengye also understood at this time, and when he saw his murderous eyes, he couldn't help but be horrified, and he ran away with a rolling belt, shouting angrily: "You...... What do you want to do? You are now rising to the top, becoming a high-ranking official of the Song Kingdom, and even the lord of Jiangnan respects you for three points, but I have ended up in this step, isn't it miserable enough? Why won't you let me go? ”

Yang Hao said coldly: "You framed me, I can not take it to heart, but my mother's revenge, as a son of man, cannot be avenged." Dong'er's revenge, as a husband, can't help but revenge! ”

Ding Chengye screamed: "I just want to frame you, how can I think of harming others?" Your mother was already suffering from a deep illness, and her condition worsened under anger, so she died, she didn't kill her, she didn't kill her at all. ”

Yang Hao said in a deep voice: "Yes, your Second Young Master Ding kills people, do you still need to dye your own blood?" According to your reasoning, of course, Dong'er was not killed by you. ”

Ding Chengye shouted angrily: "Dong'er, I don't want to kill even more, obviously Liu Shiyi and Dong Li are afraid of leaking the ugly things between them, so they kill ......"

Speaking of this, his eyes flashed suddenly, and he said in a daze: "Dong'er...... Dong'er? A strange smile appeared on his face, he slowly sat up straight, and said calmly: "Ding Hao, you can't kill me." ”

"Oh?" The jujube stick was slowly raised, and Yang Hao sneered: "No one will save you today......"

"Who says no one can save me?" Ding Chengye laughed: "There is one person who can save me, she will definitely be able to save me, she is Luo Dong'er." ”

Yang Hao said noncommittally: "If you wish, with Dong'er's kindness, if she hadn't died......"

Before Yang Hao's words fell, the jujube stick in his hand had already whistled down to Ding Chengye's forehead with a fierce wind, and Ding Chengye opened his eyes and shouted: "Luo Dong'er is not dead!" ”

"Woo~~" The stick stopped three inches in front of his forehead, a bead of sweat slowly climbed down from Ding Chengye's head, and Yang Hao said solemnly: "What do you say?" ”

Ding Chengye swallowed his saliva and said hurriedly: "I said...... Luo Dong'er, no, yes, die! ”

Yang Hao glared at him for a long time, his heart was pounding, there was an indescribable nervousness, but he said: "I'm not your second sister, your rhetoric has no effect on me, even if you call a donkey, I will only treat you as a fart." Do you think I'm going to believe you? ”

Ding Chengye hurriedly said again: "There are also scimitar Xiaoliu and Tietou, they are all together." ”

"What?" Yang Hao's face finally changed color. The scimitar Xiaoliu and the iron head did not know about their relationship with him, Ding Chengye, who was in the countryside, did not know, even Dong'er had never seen the three sworn brothers, if Ding Chengye wanted to deceive himself, it would be impossible for him to connect the scimitar Xiaoliu and Dong'er in an instant, so what kind of imagination could connect them?

Yang Hao's heart was pounding, staring at Ding Chengye for a long time, and then he said slowly: "You want to lie to me?" ”

Ding Chengye looked at his face and knew that his life had been saved for the time being, and his demeanor became more calm: "I told me her whereabouts, how about you let me go?" ”

Yang Hao stared at him silently, and Ding Chengye grinned: "I, Ding Chengye, am just an honest and shameless villain, Luo Dong'er is your lady, and the scimitar Xiaoliu is your righteous brother, if you would rather not want them to live or die, then kill me." ”

There was a hint of cunning in his eyes: "Actually...... You know in your heart that I'm not lying, am I? On the side, Ding Yuluo's eyes widened and looked nervously, Yang Hao was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "Okay, you tell their whereabouts, I won't kill you!" ”

Ding Chengye looked at Ding Yuluo and asked, "What about her?" ”

"If she wants to kill you, I will stop it!"

Ding Chengye laughed very seriously: "Okay, I'm a villain, but I know that you are a gentleman." Villain...... I also like to deal with gentlemen, and I believe in your promise. ”

Ding Yuluo remembered the revenge of killing his father, and was about to say something to stop it, but when he remembered Yang Hao's suffering, he pressed back the words again. The Ding family, there are too many things to do with Yang Hao, the dead are gone, for the sake of the living, she can only bear her father's hatred for the time being, hoping to exchange for Luo Dong'er's news.

Yang Hao said in a deep voice: "Don't talk nonsense, you said that Dong'er is still alive, where is she?" ”

In order to win his trust, Ding Chengye didn't dare to hide it in the slightest, he sat up and said: "Originally, I thought she was dead, but when I was in Qiqingguo, I saw her with my own eyes. ”

Yang Hao's body was shocked: "Khitan, why is she in Khitan?" ”

Ding Chengye said: "I am a person next to Lord Yeluwen, I once followed Lord Yelu to the Jingwufeng Tower to see the driver, at that time she was standing next to Xiao Hou Niangniang, I thought I saw the wrong person, so I asked someone. It turned out that when the people of Lijiazhuang immersed Luo Dong'er in the pig cage in the river, your righteous brothers happened to come to Zhuangzi to find you, passing by Lijiazhuang, and learned that she was your wife, so they entered the water and waited. They have been looking for you for a few days, but they have no whereabouts of you, and they expected you to flee to Guangyuan, but at that time, there were patrol officers and soldiers everywhere, and there were people from the Liu family and the Li family looking for your whereabouts, so they had to look for you from the old road of the ancient river. ”

Yang Hao's body shook violently, and he had believed his words for eight points, and now that he thinks about it, it was indeed the time when he and the scimitar Xiaoliu met in Zhuangzhong, if they happened to bump into Dong'er at that time, it is indeed very possible, especially the scimitar Xiaoliu and the three did leave their hometown, just three days after they went to Guangyuan, this time corresponds, if Ding Chengye is talking nonsense, he must not make it up so satisfactorily.

He hurriedly took two steps forward and asked in a trembling voice, "Later...... What happened later, how did they get to the Khitan? ”

Ding Chengye said: "They took the old road of the ancient river, which is an extremely difficult road, there are often fugitives and smugglers from that road, there is no official card inspection, it is the most safe, who knows, when they walked on the ancient river, the rarely walked ancient river road on the Khitan people and horses, as a result, they were taken to the Khitan." ”

Yang Hao couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, it turned out that he was walking in front at the time, Dong'er was chasing after him, he couldn't think of a mistake, he hurriedly got rid of the Khitan pursuers all the way, but he got rid of her together, and made her kidnap by the Khitans.

Ding Chengye said: "When I saw her on the Wufeng Tower, she was dressed brightly, wearing Khitan women's clothes, standing beside the emperor, as if she was the concubine of the Khitan emperor, I was afraid that she would see me and find me trouble, so she hurriedly hid in the crowd, but she didn't find me." ”

Yang Hao's face turned pale, and he lost his voice: "What did you say, she ...... She was accepted as an imperial concubine by the Khitan Emperor? ”

Ding Chengye saw his face, for fear that he would regret breaking his head with a stick, and originally wanted to torture him viciously, but he didn't dare to sell Guan Zi anymore, and said busily: "I thought so at the time, but after inquiring, I found out that after she was taken to the Khitan, she was appreciated by Empress Xiao and became the first celebrity around Empress Xiao, ranking first among the female officials in the palace. The scimitar Xiaoliu and the others were with her, and I ...... I also found out when I inquired about her origins. ”

"Dong'er...... Dong'er ...... "Yang Hao couldn't help himself with agitation, he never thought that Dong'er was still alive, such a bizarre story can't be made up, he can see that what Ding Chengye said is indeed the truth, and then think about the Empress Dowager Xiao in history, the lover is looking for the Han, and the son-in-law also likes to find the Han, although there is no lack of jokes, but this Xiao Xuanniang is a bit of a Han plot probably can't be wrong, Dong'er is knowledgeable, well-behaved and smart, and it is reasonable to be appreciated and reused by her.

Dong'er is still alive, as soon as he thinks of this, Yang Hao's chest is about to explode, Dong'er will not lose him, as white as snow on the mountain, and his daughter is like a pine, he has no doubt about Dong'er's feelings for him. I pity myself and think that she has already died, and she is in Khitan Beijing, but I don't know how much I miss myself. "Shiro Visits His Mother" has a princess stealing arrows, but Dong'er wants to get out, but it is even more difficult.

Yang Hao's hands trembled slightly, and tears welled up in his eyes: "I...... I've got to get her back! Save her and Little Six and they come back. ”

Ding Chengye observed his expression and asked cautiously, "I...... Can I go? ”

Yang Hao waved his hand, Ding Chengye got up with joy, limped out a few steps, looked at Ding Yuluo with a wincing, Yang Hao said lightly: "I looked at her." ”

Ding Chengye was finally relieved, and dragged his injured leg to the outside of the hospital. Ding Yuluo heard his indifferent voice, and finally couldn't help but cry like rain, and cried: "Second brother, you ...... Will you not forgive your sister? ”

Yang Hao didn't answer, silently took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand, and Ding Yuluo stupidly took his jujube wood crutch, a little at a loss. Yang Hao stared at Ding Chengye's back and muttered to himself: "I promised not to kill you, and I also promised to stop that stupid girl from killing you, but if she stunned me with a stick, it wasn't me who broke my promise." ”

Ding Yuluo heard him call himself a stupid girl, this joy was really exciting, and then heard him say "beating the stuffy stick", he couldn't help but be stunned, Yang Hao sighed: "That animal is about to run away." ”

"Oh, good!" Ding Yuluo agreed in a panic, and slashed at Yang Hao's head with a stick......
