Chapter 377
Gu Shangqing listened to Su Jinyao's words, nodded as well, and said, "Indeed, it is not possible to indicate (shēn) right now." We're going to get to the bottom of it, and we're going to find out who is behind that traitor. ”
Feng Jihe immediately said: "Yes, Feng listens to the young master's orders. We are waiting for the young master to be adopted on this Pingba Mountain. ”
Su Jinyao said: "Okay, then it's decided." Feng Xianxianguan, I would like to thank you for your loyalty and benevolence over the years, and thank you for suffering so many years of grievances for my father. ”
Su Jinyao put the two holy decrees back into the box and said, "These two holy decrees, we are not convenient to take them away now, and please take them away from Feng Xianxian." I will secretly look for someone who can copy the decree, and as soon as I find it, I will send someone to fetch it. ”
Feng Jihe took the box again and said, "Young master, don't worry. This has been kept by my side for more than ten years, and I originally planned to keep it for the rest of my life, and I will definitely not let it happen. ”
After speaking, Feng Jihe took out a brass beast button from his arms, handed it to Su Jinyao, and said, "Young master, you should have seen this." This is equivalent to the arrow of our Pingba Mountain, and now I give it to you, you are the big boss of our Pingba Mountain. ”
Su Jinyao took it over, took out the other beast button from before, and put it together only to find that the two brass beast buttons that originally seemed to be separate turned out to be a pair. Two small beasts with their heads tilted were facing each other, and from another point of view, they turned into the heads of a lion.
After putting away the pair of tokens, Su Jinyao remembered the sand table in the hall again, and asked, "Feng Xianxianguan, you haven't explained yet, what's going on with that temple in Hetou Mountain?" Why would you want to be a target? ”
Feng Jihe heard Su Jinyao ask this, and said, "The young master should know that I am praised for having a pair of skillful hands, being able to make many traps, and I can also design hidden weapons. But in fact, my ability is not as good as that of other masters. I heard that on the rivers and lakes, there is another person who is known as the holy hand of the organ, that is, the dry ink Zen master who is currently a monk in Hetou Mountain. His common name is Mu, and the single word is present. I wanted to learn a few hands from him, but over the years, I went to Hetou Mountain several times to ask for help, but I couldn't see him. Later, I thought about building a temple between Hetou Mountain and Pingba Mountain, and invited the dry ink Zen master to come down as the host, so that I could learn art nearby. ”
dare (qíng) said that Feng Jihe is an idiot who wants to learn from artists but doesn't accept it, so he takes this as a goal. Even the sand table is probably made in order to be able to find a suitable location.
After listening to Feng Jihe's words, Su Jinyao originally wanted to go to the Jianghu people in the temple, but now she was a little surprised.
There is the Holy Hand Mu in the south, and the Iron Hand Cen in the north
Su Jinyao didn't want to go to the temple to be a nun, nor did she want to learn any tricks, of course, she didn't have any interest in that Hetou Mountain.
What's more, she originally thought that Feng Jihe had a purpose to ennet people in the rivers and lakes, but now it seems that it is not at all. So there was no need for her to encourage him to go.
After all, Feng Jihe and his Pingba Mountain's forces are still retaining the foundation of the genuine army, and it is best not to act rashly, so as not to be exposed.
Otherwise, it really attracted the attention of the imperial court, and it would not be easy for Su Jinyao to hide this piece of fat (ròu) again.
However, Su Jinyao understands very well the feeling of being addicted to people's (ài). She thought for a moment, took out a small pouch with drawstring from her pocket, untied the knot, and took out her two seals from it.
Feng Jihe didn't know what Su Jinyao was doing with the seal, so he looked at it seriously and didn't say anything.
Su Jinyao handed over the seal and said, "Officer Feng Xianxian, take a look at whether this seal can see if there is anything suspicious." ”
What else is there to doubt about seals? Feng Jihe's face was full of doubts, and then he took it and looked at it carefully, and then groped carefully with his hands.
And the seven apprentices after Feng Jihe (shēn) also came over with curiosity to see what this thing was.
But looking left and right, I feel that these are two seals.
Feng Jihe shook his head helplessly, handed the seal back to Su Jinyao, and said, "Young Master, I really can't see any difference in this seal. It seems that the pattern is a little more complicated, but as long as you work hard to create it, you should be able to create it with a skilled blacksmith. ”
Su Jinyao smiled, first gave Feng Ji a high hat, and said: "Feng Xianxianguan really has eyesight, and he can see the problem of complicated patterns at once. However, there is another mystery in it, which you haven't noticed? ”
Feng Jihe was a little stunned at this moment, shook his head and said, "I don't see any difference." ”
Su Jinyao said with a smile: "At the beginning, I didn't distinguish the problem. But I'll print it on paper, and you see. ”
After speaking, Su Jinyao came to the desk, printed the two seals on the paper, and then showed them to Feng Jihe.
This time, Feng Jihe and one of his (shēn) apprentices said almost immediately: "It's strange that there is a 'ya' character hidden in the middle of this pattern. I really don't know who has the magic hand to create such a seal? ”
Su Jinyao said lightly: "Tie Shou Cen, I don't know if Feng Xianxianguan has heard of this name." ”
"I've heard of it, and his kung fu in making hidden weapons is also top-notch. It's just that he later lived in seclusion, and no one was able to find him again. Speaking of this, Feng Jihe also sighed and said: "According to legend, there is a holy hand Mu in the south and an iron hand Cen in the north on the rivers and lakes. It's a pity that I don't have this opportunity. ”
Su Jinyao listened and persuaded: "The reason why I took out this seal is not to show you anything. I want to tell you that I can know the whereabouts of Iron Hand Cen. When the dust settles on these things (qíng), I will beg Tie Shou Cen to accept you, I don't know if it's okay? ”
"Okay, thank you young master for making it happen." Feng Jihe really didn't expect that Su Jinyao would still be able to find Tie Shou Cen, so he immediately became full of anticipation.
Su Jinyao said: "I saw him three years ago and begged him to make me this pair of seals. Later, a few months ago, my friend had asked him for a repeating crossbow. Therefore, this is enough to prove that Tie Shoucen is still fine, so don't be anxious. ”
Feng Jihe laughed when he heard Su Jinyao's words. said: "I understand that this kind of master of the rivers and lakes is something that can be met but not sought. If we don't have that master-apprentice relationship, he would have gone before I found him, and I can't do anything (qíng) to force it. ”
However, since there is hope, it is better than nothing. What's more, he can get a lot of Su Jinyao, waiting for the imperial court to be incorporated again, Feng Jihe's heart is really indescribably happy.
Therefore, he immediately instructed his apprentice on the side (shēn) to go and set up a banquet, saying that he would leave the young master on the mountain to plate a few (rì) before leaving.
Su Jinyao looked at Gu Shangqing again, wanting to see what he meant.
Gu Shangqing shook his head slightly, and said: "We are short of time, this way to the capital, it is far from enough to subdue Pingba Mountain." ”
Of course, Su Jinyao understands that even if there are four or five hundred people in this Pingba Mountain, they are well-trained. But these people are really not enough in the eyes of the imperial court.
Unless there are Su Jinyao's people ambushed in many cottages and official and business arteries along the way, the government will pay attention to it.
Therefore, Su Jinyao said: "Feng Xianxian, we are indeed pressed for time, and we can't stay longer." Fortunately, you are with us, so you don't have to waste too much time, I really don't know where to go, or it's not so easy. ”
Feng Jihe asked: "Then, do you need me to transfer some people to protect the young master all the way to Beijing?" ”
Su Jinyao thought about it for a while, and said, "If you have a master who can do light skills, call twenty people to me." If not, those who know martial arts and have internal strength can also do it. However, if it is only a soldier who can (shè) arrows, wield knives, and set up formations, there is no need for it. ”
Feng Jihe turned his head and called one of his apprentices and asked, "Are there two good hands among those original brothers in Pingbashan?" ”
The man replied, "It's the two brothers Ron and Luo Xiang, and they are honest people, not Kong Xiao and the like." ”
Feng Jihe said to Su Jinyao: "Although all of my people are brave and fearless, they are really ordinary soldiers who can only line up and wield knives. But Kong Xiao originally had a pair of brothers under him, and he was a master. It's just that they are idle, unwilling to learn from us to practice and practice, and they are not used to the style of Kong Xiaoping (rì), so they rarely show up. I called them here to see if they would like to follow you, young master. ”
Su Jinyao knew when she heard that the two brothers Ron and Luo Xiang should be the kind of thorns who are more difficult to manage, doing nothing on the mountain, but no one can restrain them.
Now Feng Jihe wants to let himself take them away, he should have good intentions, after all, these two people are real masters. There is another layer of meaning, which is to send the two brothers away.
Su Jinyao said, "Okay, then invite the two brothers to come over and talk." ”
Su Jinyao has never been afraid of any thorns, in her eyes, people with ability have tempers, this is common sense.
Of course, some people who are incapable also have tempers.
But that kind of person will definitely not live long, because pretending to be b will be struck by lightning, especially in a place where the mountains are full of green forest bandits, and those who don't have any real skills and just want to wander around are afraid that they will be killed a long time ago. Feng Jihe, who won't be provoked, has a headache.
The difficulties of the Roche brothers
Two brothers, Ron and Luo Xiang, came over. To Su Jinyao and Gu Shangqing's surprise, neither of them was the kind of fierce looking or born ruffian.
Ron should be the elder brother, not as tall as Luo Xiang, but he looks very stable. Although he was wearing a short cloth coat (shēn), his eyes were blazing and his bearing was not bad. At the age of about forty, he doesn't look old, but old.
Luo Xiang is a little younger, and it is estimated that he is thirty-five or six years old. He is tall and tall, and his appearance is still (tǐng) Zhou Zheng. Su Jinyao's first impression was that he was an uncle. If you pinch it out, there is still a little handsome.
If such two men are placed in the modern workplace, they will have the image of a good man who has a successful career.
Feng Jihe said to the two: "This girl is our young master, I called your brother over to let you follow her (shēn) side and serve (shēn)." In our Pingba Mountain, among the hundreds of people under the city, there are not many masters who can be picked out, but the two of you are first-class in martial arts and people, what do you mean? ”
Su Jinyao nodded, took a step forward, and said: "I am my father's widow, so my surname is Liu, my name is Su Jinyao, and I have not officially recognized my ancestors and returned to my ancestors." The reason why I found my father's old ministry was also to make some preparations for returning to the ancient family. If you can help, I don't dare to say that you can promise you a great future, glory and wealth in the future, but at least you don't have to stay in this Pingba Mountain, and your good skills can also be used. ”
"You? If you want to make a contribution to the two of us, you have to ask if you have such a ability? Luo Xiang spoke first, and his tone was not good.
But the tone of his voice was quite peaceful, albeit with disdain, but not yet to the point of contempt.
In other words, this is a distrust, the Luo brothers don't trust Su Jinyao, so they have this question.
Gu Shangqing couldn't tolerate others saying a word about Su Jinyao, so he stood up and said with a sneer: "She is a member of our Gu family, whether she has such a ability is also up to the Gu family, and it is not your turn to ask." ”
Ron stretched out his hand to stop his brother, and then stood up and said, "Yes, Childe is right. In fact, we don't care if this girl is from the Gu family or not. The reason why we stayed in this Pingba Mountain is also to find a master who is really capable. Before, although Kong Xiao subdued us with poison, we were not willing to be his subordinates, but in the past ten years, whether it is Kong Xiao or Lord Feng, we have been good to our brothers, so we have not left. ”
Su Jinyao nodded and asked directly: "Then how do you prove that I am strong?" Could it be that winning a fight only counts? ”
"We don't hit women." Luo Xiang said, pointed outside, and said, "We have a little pet on this mountain, if you can bring it back, we will go with you." ”
"Little pet?" Su Jinyao smiled and asked, "This is small, is it young or small?" Or is it with you, with little ability? ”
"It's young, only six years old." Luo Xiang said, laughed, and said, "But a six-year-old bear is really not small for a girl." ”
Hearing Luo Xiang say that it was a bear, Gu Shangqing's watch (qíng) was a rin and said, "You guys have to inch in, right?" ”
Feng Jihe also said: "Ron, Luo Xiang, after so many years in the mountains, I respect you as a man, never do anything wrong (qíng), and also help us (cāo) train soldiers, and teach them a lot of martial arts and stunts. But you must not be disrespectful to the young master. ”
Ron turned (shēn) and clasped his fists at Feng Jihe, and said, "Lord Feng, since you called us here today, let's change another master, our brother is no longer your man." And after so many years in the mountains, we ask ourselves that this sect leader has done his best, and it is more than enough to exchange one (rì) three meals of white rice for you. Today, if this girl has something extraordinary, we are willing to leave behind to help, if she is a yellow-haired girl, you will recognize her as the master in the past, and we will find another place. ”
"Okay." Su Jinyao clapped her hands and said, "That's a good point." A manly man, no matter if he bows his head, he can't be short, and he wants others to be tall when he looks up. You are willing to recognize the capable person as the master, and this ability is a kind of foresight. Only when a mountain is higher can it always stand in front of people. ”
After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she said, "Where are your little pets?" It's not going to be running all over the hills, let me track it, right? Then such a big Pingba Mountain, I have to find it for three or five days to walk. ”
The two brothers, Ron and Luo Xiang, didn't expect Su Jinyao to say such a thing, and her words were still very atmospheric, without relying on her own share (shēn) and relying on the blessings of her ancestors to elevate herself.
The two brothers glanced at each other, and Luo Xiang said: "On the top of Pingba Mountain, there is a natural stone cave, and we raised the bear there. Usually only the two brothers go to the top of the mountain, and the other brothers regard it as a (jìn) district. ”
"Jinyao, are you really going?" Gu Shangqing saw that Su Jinyao had already started to sort out her clothes, and hurriedly said, "A bear, my brother will help you catch it." ”
Su Jinyao shook her head with a smile and said, "I lived in the mountains with Master for more than two years, not to mention bears, tigers have killed several tigers, it's okay." Besides, the human heart is unpredictable, and animals are more pure. Maybe I talked to the bear, and he came down with me voluntarily. ”
"Hmph" Luo Xiang sneered when he heard this, and said, "Little girl, don't brag about it, that bear is not so easy to deal with." And you don't really want to get hurt. The life of the ancient family sounds like (tǐng) is noble, and we can't afford it. ”
After speaking, Luo Xiang took off a bracelet from his wrist, decorated it with a small bamboo whistle on his face, threw it to Su Jinyao, and said, "Next." Feel like you're going to be trampled to death by a bear, blow this, and it won't attack you anymore. ”
Su Jinyao stretched out her hand and took the bamboo whistle in her hand, and couldn't help but smile and asked, "Then if it knocks me down and wants to eat me, will I blow it or not?" ”
This is a joke at all, Luo Xiang sneered again when he heard it, and said, "Whatever." ”
Ron said with a straight face: "Miss Liu, you should do it yourself." If you don't look right, don't hold it hard. ”
Gu Shangqing glared at the Luo brothers fiercely, and then said, "Jin Yao, can it be regarded as my brother going to see you to make trouble?" If you have to keep me waiting here, I can't worry. ”
"No, you don't." Su Jinyao shook her head and said, "Brother, you (shēn) are still injured." Moreover, I'm hungry, didn't Feng Xianxianguan just say that he would prepare a banquet for us? You try the dishes for me first. ”
There will be a bear to face
Gu Shangqing didn't expect Su Jinyao to have the heart to joke at this time, took a few steps forward, and said, "Jinyao, let me go with you." ”
Su Jinyao's face sank and said, "Brother, in the years before I met you, I really survived it alone. Now we cherish each other, cherish this brother and sister (qíng), but let's not give each other too much restraint. Protecting is not a constraint, don't let the other party feel suffocated because of (ài) and protection, this is good for you and me. ”
