The water is moist and the soil is wet, the pillar base is sweaty, and the world is like a steamer, which makes people inevitably depressed.

On an ancient tea horse road in Wuling Country that has been abandoned for many years, the five horsemen walked slowly.

Suddenly encountered a shower, even if they put on a coat, the raindrops the size of soybeans still hit the cheeks painfully, everyone spurred their horses, looking for shelter from the rain, and finally saw a halfway up the mountainside to rest the pavilion, and dismounted.

As a result, I saw a young man in a green shirt sitting cross-legged on the bench of the pavilion, with a large bamboo box at his feet, a chessboard and two celadon small chess jars in front of him, and more than 20 black and white chess pieces were placed on the chessboard.

A strong man with a knife glanced at the other party's green shirt and the soles of his shoes, there were no water stains, he should have rested here early, escaped the rainstorm, and simply waited until the rain broke before he set off, so he made his own score here.

An old man with a good temperament stood at the door of the pavilion, and the rain would not stop for a while, so he turned his head and asked with a smile: "It's okay, don't you mind talking about a game?"

The young man in the green shirt thought about it, stretched out his palm and casually picked up the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard, but instead of putting them back into the chess jar, he stacked them between himself and the chessboard, nodded and smiled: "Okay." ”

A pair of teenagers and girls looked at each other and smiled.

Another woman with a fence sat on a bench opposite, with a handkerchief before taking her seat.

The old man grabbed a handful of white children and said with a smile: "Since the old man is a few years older, the son guesses first." ”

Chen Ping'an twisted out a black seed, the old man put the white seeds in his hand on the chessboard, seven, and the old man smiled: "Childe first." ”

Unconsciously, Chen Ping'an has changed his sitting posture, no longer cross-legged, no different from the old man, sitting sideways, holding his sleeve with one hand, and falling on the chessboard with the other hand.

The boy whispered in the girl's ear: "Look at the bearing, you look like a master of chess." ”

The girl smiled and said, "No matter how high your chess skills are, can you compare them to our grandfather?"

The boy likes to compete with the girl, "I think this person is not easy to deal with, grandpa personally said, chess masters, as long as they learn chess since childhood, except for the immortals on the mountain, the age of the weak crown is about the most capable of playing, and after the year of establishment, the older you are, the more it drags down." ”

The girl sneered: "The people that Grandpa said are only for those young geniuses who are destined to become chess masters, ordinary people, not among them. ”

The old man thought for a moment, even if he was so powerful in chess and well-known in a country, he still did not fall in a hurry, playing against strangers, afraid of new and strange things, the old man raised his head, looked at the two juniors, and frowned.

The young man smiled: "I know, I don't say anything about watching chess." ”

On the chessboard, after less than thirty moves, the boy and girl looked at each other.

It turned out to be a stinky chess basket with some pre-set moves.

Not to mention the grandfather, a big player, even if the two of them go into battle, and let two or three sons, they can also kill each other and abandon their armor.

The old man couldn't help but laugh.

The old man actually didn't care about the opponent's chess strength, and still patiently played against the young man in green shirts.

In the rainy season, it is a blessing to meet friends on the road in other places.

The young man looked up at the rain curtain outside the pavilion and threw in the towel.

The old man nodded, helping to review, this foreigner in green shirts who was on a study tour, in fact, the first move was still quite powerful, that is, the old man looked at it highly, and almost mistakenly thought that he had met a real master outside the world, but he quickly lost his strength and was defeated like a mountain, which was very regrettable. During the review, the two chatted, the young man claimed to be surnamed Chen, from the south, this trip to the north, is to go to the east of the sea mouth of the green warbler country, and then go to the upper reaches of the big desecration to see, the old man's surname is Sui, has resigned and returned to his hometown, this time to go to the Great Seal capital, because the Great Seal Zhou Emperor opened a ten-year grass and tree set, together with the Wuling Kingdom, In addition to taking out a set of priceless treasures embedded in the study room, a total of nine pieces, they were given to nine people, and there was also a chess game that chess players coveted, as a reward for the winner.

Chen Ping'an asked, "When will this grass and tree gathering be held and ended?"

The grandson of the old man surnamed Sui, the handsome young man preemptively said: "The beginning of autumn begins, and when the time comes, all countries will be edicted. The famous masters who enter the section, gathered in the capital, will be arranged by the Great Seal Wei Qisheng and the three disciples, screen out the seed chess players of various countries, the first three rounds are suspended, the rest of the chess players draw lots, catch and fight, screen out a hundred people, plus three rounds of hanging seeds of various countries 20 people, start the real master competition in the winter, the big seal capital city every year in the heavy snow season, will usher in the first snow, then there are only ten people left to play, Emperor Zhou took out a set of Baibao embedded and that chess book, is the bag of these people, but also need to divide the ranking, win five people, one person can play a game with Wei Qisheng, excellent luck, not only can have the honor to play against the chess saint, and even if you lose, all of which can advance to the next round. ”

Chen Ping'an asked: "This Wei Qisheng's chess strength is obviously much higher than everyone else?"

The young man nodded and said: "Of course, Wei Qisheng is the protector of the Great Seal Dynasty, and his chess strength is invincible, my grandfather had the honor to play a game with Wei Qisheng twenty years ago, but unfortunately he lost to a young disciple of Wei Qisheng and failed to rank among the top three." It's not that my grandfather's chess ability is not high, it's really that the young man's chess ability was too strong, and at the age of thirteen or fourteen, he had Wei Qisheng's seven-percent true biography. Ten years ago, the Great Seal Grass and Tree Collection, this high apprentice of the Great Seal National Teacher, if it was not a retreat, he could not participate, otherwise he would never let Lanfang Guo Chu Xuan win the first place, the grass and tree set ten years ago was the most boring one, many top chess edicts did not go, and my grandfather did not participate. ”

Chen Ping'an asked, "The cultivators on the mountain can also participate?"

Hand talk.

Up and down the mountain, there is a difference between heaven and earth.

The so-called national players of the secular dynasty, chess to be edicted, meet the real chess master on the mountain practitioner, almost never have a chance of winning, the most terrible place lies in some subtle formulas under the mountain, almost never recognized by the mountain monks, and the mountain monks' solution to the problem of life and death, often makes people feel inexplicable.

The old man surnamed Sui said with a smile: "The immortals on the mountain are all people in the clouds and mist, which is extremely rare for us ordinary masters, and it is even rarer to cultivate people who like to play chess. And the proud disciple of Wei Qisheng, although he is also a cultivator, but every time he plays chess, he falls very quickly, and he should be unwilling to take advantage of it, I once had the honor to play against it, almost as soon as I fall, the young man will follow him, very simply, even so, I am still convinced. ”

Chen Ping'an asked, "Has Mr. Sui heard that there has been something unusual in the Great Seal Capital recently?"

The old man looked puzzled, shook his head, and said with a smile: "I would like to hear about it." ”

Chen Ping'an said with a smile: "It's just some gossip heard on the rivers and lakes, saying that there is a big river outside the capital of the Great Seal, and there are constant floods. ”

The young man's face was full of disapproval, and said: "You mean the Yuxi River, right? What is there to worry about, with Wei Qisheng, the real person who protects the country, a little abnormal flooding, and can it flood the capital? ”

Chen Ping'an smiled, "You still have to be careful." Mr. Sui, are you going to go for that set of treasures embedded with a certain favorite confession?"

The old man shook his head, "This grass and tree gathering, the masters gathered, no better than the previous two sessions, although I am well-known in my country, but I know that I will not be able to enter the top ten." Therefore, this time I went to the capital of the Great Seal, just hoping to meet friends with chess, drink tea with a few old friends from other countries, and then buy more new chess games by the way, I am already satisfied. ”

The woman who had been silent said softly: "Dad, I think this son is right, the flood of the Yuxi River is strange, under the nose of the Great Seal Capital, if Wei Qisheng and the Valkyrie can really solve it easily, how can it be delayed until now, I am afraid that the Yuxi River will be in trouble, but the Emperor of the Zhou family is unwilling to revoke the grass and tree set because of the face problem, and there will be another accident when the time comes......"

The woman did not go on, and if the father insisted on going, her words would become unpleasant.

In fact, this time she set off to the Great Seal Dynasty to participate in the grass and wood set, she didn't agree at the beginning, the old man naturally didn't want to miss the event, in order to make the younger generations in the family feel relieved, took a step back, the old man invited a relationship with the Jianghu master to escort, and he was a year-old friend, a famous martial arts master in Wuling Kingdom, and there was indeed a lot of care along the way. The man with the saber is named Hu Xinfeng, and he plans to escort them to the capital of the Great Seal, and during the grass and wood gathering, he will go to Jinfei Kingdom to visit a few friends in the rivers and lakes.

The big seal capital held the grass and tree set, is a grand meeting once a decade, not only the national hand duel, fascinating, the city in the streets and alleys of the gambling chess wind, but also swept a city, will be the minister and dignitaries, like to bet on the grass and trees set shortlisted masters, the big seal rich but not expensive, then bet on the wild chess outside the grass and tree set, are also not small, it is rumored that every time the big seal of the capital plant and tree set, there will be tens of millions of silver in and out of the amazing in, the people of the capital, there are good, but also like a small gambling pleasure, throw a few taels of silver in the streets and alleys, the family is well-off in the middle of the family, it is not strange to bet on dozens of hundreds of taels of silver, the big seal of the capital of large and small Taoist temples, there are many vassal magnates and literati who have traveled from afar, and it is not good to spend money directly, so they bet on elegant objects and sell them when they turn around, which is a lot of money.

The girl said aggrievedly: "Auntie, if we don't go to the Great Seal Capital, wouldn't we have walked such a long way, more than a thousand miles." ”

The girl is selfish, she wants to meet the closed disciple of the Great Seal National Teacher who won her grandfather back then, the fairy who followed the national teacher to practice Taoism, is now only in her early twenties, and is also a woman, it is said that she was born to the country and the city, and the two Zhou princes are still jealous of her, and some boudoir friends who like to talk with their hands hope that she can see the young fairy with her own eyes, whether it is really as beautiful as rumored, and the fairy demeanor. She has already let out a big word, and when she arrives at the feast of plants and trees in the capital of the Great Seal, she must find an opportunity to say a few words with that fairy.

The man with the saber has been guarding the door of the pavilion, a master of the rivers and lakes is so hard-working, serving as a servant to an old man who has long lost his official body, and it takes half a year to go back and forth, not that ordinary people can't do it, Hu Xinfeng turned his head and smiled: "The Yuxi River outside the Great Seal Capital City, there are indeed some gods and gods and Taoist Zhiwei sayings, which have been circulating in the rivers and lakes in recent years, although it is not accurate, but Miss Sui is not bad, Brother Sui, we should really be careful on this trip." ”

The old man was a little embarrassed.

Even a hero like Hu Xinfeng said so, and the old man was inevitably worried. But if you want to go home, you are unwilling.

The woman who wore a fence on her head and tied her hair in a bun sighed softly, she was always a little uneasy, about this trip to the capital with her father and nephews and nieces, she had several divination in private, all of them were strange, and there were blessings and fates in the danger, in short, the blessings and misfortunes were uncertain, so that it was really difficult for her to guess the deep meaning. In fact, according to common sense, the Great Seal Dynasty has been peaceful for a long time, the national strength is at its peak, and the strength of the Daguan Dynasty in the south is between the two sides, and the royal families of the two sides have a marriage, and the Great Seal Zhou family has a female martial god and a real person who protects the country in the capital, and the strange rumors of the Yuxi River, even if it is true, should not be in big trouble. She believed that the Yuxi River, which had never sealed the water god and built a shrine, could indeed hide a black Jiao, but to say that a water Jiao could disturb the Great Seal Capital, she didn't believe it.

In the final analysis, she still regrets that she has been a little regretful for so many years, and she can only rely on a booklet left by a master, relying only on her own blind thinking, and practicing the immortal family magic indiscriminately, and she has never been able to truly become a spectrum immortal master with the guidance of the Master and the orderly inheritance, otherwise she should have known in her heart whether to go or not to go to the Great Seal Capital.

The boy grinned.

My aunt is a strange person, it is rumored that one day after my grandmother was pregnant for ten months, there was a god in my dream who walked into the ancestral hall with a baby, and handed it to my grandmother, and then gave birth to my aunt, but my aunt was hard, and she was good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child. After the master left, as the aunt became more and more slim, the fame in the Wuling country, especially in the literary world, was also increasing, but the aunt was too bumpy in the matter of marriage, and the grandfather successively helped her find two husbands, one is the right Wuling country Tanhualang, the spring breeze is proud, the name is full of Wuling capital, I never wanted to be involved in the imperial examination case soon, and then the grandfather did not dare to find the seeds of reading, and found a harder Jianghu Junyan, the aunt was still about to pass the door, the other party family had an accident, the young man of the rivers and lakes traveled far away, and it was rumored that he went to the Lanfang, Qingci Country, has become a hero, has not yet married a wife, and still misses his aunt.

My aunt is in her thirties, but she is still beautiful and moving, like a fairy coming out of a mural.

If it weren't for the fact that my aunt had lived in a simple house for so many years and never showed up, she would occasionally go to the temple to burn incense, and she would not have chosen the day when there were many pilgrims on the fifteenth day of the first month.

Qingxiu young man for the trip to the Great Seal Capital, also has a different vision than his sister, the Zhou Emperor held a grass and tree set, the Great Seal Dynasty will also take the lead in launching the top ten masters and four beauties, as long as the people in the list are in the Great Seal Beijing, they can be received by the Zhou Emperor and give a heavy gift. Maybe now in the Great Seal Capital, there have been many new young grandmasters on the list, and every ten years the Jianghu Commentary, which old man will be squeezed out, which new face can be on the list, and the Great Seal Capital also has huge bets.

Although this young man surnamed Sui of Wuling Kingdom was born in a scholarly family, he is destined to follow the path of his grandfather, father and brother, and become a civil official of Wuling Kingdom step by step, but deep in his heart, he is most yearning for the heroes of the rivers and lakes who are chivalrous and righteous. The young man admired Uncle Hu for a famous martial arts person, and he admired it very much, if it weren't for Hu Daxia's wife and daughter, the young man would have wanted to match him with his aunt.

Chen Ping'an saw the look of the old man surnamed Sui, and he should still want to go to the Great Seal Capital City, so he didn't say anything more.

At the end of the previous review, it was just the time for the rain to stop.

It's just that the road outside is muddy, except for Chen Ping'an, everyone in the pavilion has some worries, so they don't rush to the road.

Chen Ping'an had already put away the chessboard and chess jar in the bamboo box, held the hiking stick, put on the hat, and left.

Glancing at the rain curtain earlier, the cast conceded defeat, and the review ended, just as the heavy rain stopped and the sky cleared.

This is another silent reminder from Chen Ping'an, as for whether the woman can detect the clues, it is her own business.

The man with the saber is a martial artist of the Five Realms, and he should be regarded as a master of the martial arts side in the territory of the Wuling Kingdom.

As for the Mi Fence woman, she seems to be a half-hung qi practitioner, and her realm is not high, only about two or three realms.

Chen Ping'an just walked outside the pavilion and frowned.

Is it such a coincidence?

On the mountain road in this wilderness, why did a golden-bodied martial artist come on horseback? As an old man surnamed Sui, there should not be such a sworn enemy of temples and enemies of rivers and lakes.

This Great Seal Dynasty includes the vast territory of more than a dozen countries, similar to the small countries of Lanfang and Wuling, and there may not be a martial artist in the Golden Body Realm who sits in the martial arts, just like the Caiyi Country and the Combing Water Country in the middle of the Aquarius Continent, most of them are the peak martial artists of the Six Realms like the Song Dynasty, and the force can crown the rivers and lakes of a country. It's just that people under the mountain don't know when they see real people and immortals, and people on the mountain are more likely to see cultivators, and it is precisely because Chen Ping'an's cultivation is high, and his eyesight is hot, so he will see more cultivators, pure martial artists, mountain spirits, and market ghosts. Otherwise, just like Chen Ping'an, who was still an apprentice in Longyao in his hometown town, he only saw the difference between rich and unrich.

However, after so many years of traveling all over the world, except for places like inverted hanging mountains and ferries, after all, ordinary people have seen more, but there are fewer stories.

However, the warrior soon stopped his horse in the distance, as if waiting for someone.

There should be a rider beside him, a cultivator.

Then on the ancient tea horse road in the other direction of the pavilion, there was a chaotic sound of walking, about more than ten people, the footsteps were deep and shallow, and the cultivation was naturally high and low.

Chen Ping'an hesitated, stretched out a foot, stepped on the mud, then pulled out his boots from the mud, rubbed the soles of his shoes on the steps, sighed, walked back to the pavilion, and said helplessly: "Just sit for a while, let the sun bask on the road, otherwise it will be uncomfortable all the way." ”

The young man was unrestrained, optimistic and cheerful, and it was the first time he walked the rivers and lakes, his words were unscrupulous, and he smiled: "Wit!"

Chen Ping'an smiled.

Hu Xinfeng was a little helpless, and he had to talk about this kid in the rivers and lakes, he couldn't be so presumptuous.

I never thought that the woman had already opened her mouth to teach a lesson, "As a scholar, you must not be so rude, quickly apologize to Chen Gongzi!"

The young man hurriedly looked at his grandfather, and the old man smiled and said, "Is it difficult for a scholar to apologize to others? Is it that the sages and sages in the book are more expensive, or is your boy's face more valuable?"

The young man also had a big heart, so he really smiled brightly, and apologized to the man in the green shirt, and the man who traveled far away to study didn't say anything, but stood in place with a smile, and didn't say anything kind that didn't need to apologize.

The girl covered her mouth and smiled, and it was a happy thing to see her stubborn brother eat deflated.

The old man surnamed Sui smiled and said, "Childe, let's continue on our way." ”

Chen Ping'an smiled and nodded, "I'll meet again." ”

It's just that when they wanted to walk out of the pavilion and lead the horses, they saw a group of people from the rivers and lakes swarming over there, striding forward, muddy and splashing.

Hu Xinfeng stood by the knife, did not get on the horse, and at the same time quietly made a gesture, suggesting that the four people next to him should not hurry to step on the stirrup and get on the horse, so as not to be suspected of condescending and looking at others.

Half of the gang walked past the pavilion and continued to move forward, when suddenly a burly man with a wide open collar lit up, stopped and shouted, "Brothers, let's rest for a while." ”

The woman frowned.

Hu Xinfeng said softly: "Just make way for them, try not to cause trouble." ”

The old man surnamed Sui nodded, and the young man and the girl tried to get as close to the old man as possible.

The man in the hat and green shirt seemed to be the same, and he didn't dare to continue to stay in the pavilion, so he walked sideways at the other end of the steps, just like their thoughts, and gave the pavilion to this group of people who were not good men and women.

But even if the young man with the stinky chess basket was cautious enough, he was still the man who was deliberately four or five people walking into the pavilion at the same time, and one of them deliberately shook his body and rubbed his shoulder.

The young man in the green shirt staggered back and apologized, and the young man rubbed his shoulders and said angrily: "Such a wide road, let alone walking on two legs, you just have twenty, which is enough for us to go our own way, you kid doesn't have long eyes, do you have to hit me?" Or do you think that I am a bully, and think that there is a woman here, and want to show off your heroism?"

The bookbox behind the young man who was on a study tour, the chess jar and the chessboard collided, and there was a clang, and the young man's face was pale, and he still made amends, and moved again to give way to the door of the kiosk.

The young man with a meaty face also stepped forward, stretched out his hand and pushed it on the shoulder of the green-shirted scholar, causing the latter to sit in the mud outside the steps of the pavilion.

The young scholar looked frightened and glanced at the group of people gathered on the steps of the pavilion, but the old man surnamed Sui sighed and turned a blind eye. The young man and girl's face was even more snow-white and colorless, Hu Xinfeng just frowned, but the woman who wanted to speak stopped talking, but was signaled by the eyes of the old man surnamed Sui, not to do much. After all, Hu Xinfeng has worked hard all these years, and finally attached himself to an official family and started a wealthy white road business, if he is inexplicably involved in a murder, it will be very tricky. This group of arrogant people, listening to the accent, is not from Wuling, and Hu Xinfeng's original name in black and white in his country may not work.

Hu Xinfeng was actually in a heavy mood, far from being as calm as his face.

Because among this group of people, it seems that the commotion is all martial arts at the bottom of the rivers and lakes, but in fact, it is not, it is just a trick to fool ordinary children in the rivers and lakes, as long as they are provoked, they will lose a layer of skin. Only said that one of the old men with scars on his face, may not know him Hu Xinfeng, but Hu Xinfeng still remembers vividly, is an evil master who committed several major cases in the Golden Gate Country, named Yang Yuan, nicknamed Hunjiang Jiao, a horizontal practice of kung fu is superb, the boxing is extremely fierce, it was the first few leaders of the green forest of the Golden Gate Country, has been on the run for more than ten years, it is said that he hid in the border area of the Qingci Kingdom and the Lanfang Kingdom, and attracted a large group of extremely vicious people, from a single-handedly Jianghu devil, created a person with a large number of evil sects, Lin Shu, the master of the Zhengrong Sect among the four righteous masters of the Golden Gate Kingdom, in the early years, he took more than a dozen righteous people to besiege and kill this person, still escaped alive by his injuries.

Once it is really the old devil Yang Yuan, even if the other party was seriously injured and fell into sequelae, he has aged over the years, his qi and blood are aging, and his martial arts are not advancing but retreating, and now he may not be his opponent Hu Xinfeng, but the other party is many after all. But if the other party has been recuperating all these years, and his martial arts are still improving, Hu Xinfeng will have a numb scalp, this ancient tea horse road is usually inaccessible, Hu Xinfeng feels that his escort trip, which is the icing on the cake, has to fight for the Sui family.

Hu Xinfeng was originally worried that Brother Sui's scholarly business would be angry and he must intervene in this matter, but now it seems that he is too worried. Even if he didn't reveal that Yang Yuan's identity was powerful, Brother Sui still didn't mean to take care of things.

Sure enough, it was Yang Yuan, the Hunjiang Jiao!

The sturdy old man looked at Hu Xinfeng, Hu Xinfeng hesitated, hugged his fists and said: "Wuling Country Crossing Gang, gang leader Hu Xinfeng, I have seen all my friends in the rivers and lakes." ”

Yang Yuan thought about it and smiled hoarsely: "I haven't heard of it." ”

The rest of the crowd burst into laughter.

Yang Yuan glanced at the woman who was a fence, a pair of originally cloudy eyes bloomed, fleeting, turned his head to look at the other side, and said to the young man with a meaty face: "It's rare for us to walk the rivers and lakes, don't always fight and kill, some careless bumps, let the other party lose money." ”

The young man was stunned for a moment, and a young man with a sword on his back standing beside Yang Yuan, holding a folding fan, smiled and said: "Just pay fifty or sixty taels, don't open your mouth and embarrass a down-and-out scholar." ”

The young scholar who sat on the ground and didn't dare to get up said with a panicked expression: "Where do I have so much silver, there is only a pair of chessboard chess jars in the bamboo box, which is worth more than a dozen taels of silver." ”

The young swordsman shook the folding fan in his hand, "This is a little difficult. ”

The handsome young man wanted to speak, but the old man surnamed Sui grabbed the young man's arm and glared at him fiercely.

The boy was frightened by his grandfather's strange eyes and was silent.

The old man surnamed Sui quickly glanced at the poor scholar, fortunately, he didn't mean to ask for help and borrow money, otherwise the disaster would drain the water, so he had to scold a few words, and quickly clear up the involvement, it would be a bit insulting, and it would damage the image of kindness and kindness in the past on the side of several juniors.

I don't know why the old devil Yang Yuan, who has reappeared in the rivers and lakes, waved his hand, his voice was still hoarse like a sharpening knife, and said with a smile: "Forget it, it's almost enough to scare it, let the reader get out of here, this kid is also a bit of spirit, there is a little bit of style, it is much better than some readers who stand by and watch, don't say anything, I am afraid of getting angry, that is, there is no knife in my hand, and there are many outsiders, otherwise it is estimated that I will have to kill the young scholar with a knife before I am clean." ”

The man with a meaty face was a little disappointed, and he was about to kick, but the young scholar got up with a roll, bypassed the crowd, and ran out on the path, splashing mud everywhere.

The old man surnamed Sui looked calm.

The beautiful young man's face was flushed, and after hearing the meaning of the old guy's words, he was ashamed.

The woman saw the end of the path, the young man in the green shirt stopped, turned his head to look, and then showed a playful smile that I don't know if it was her delusion, and the man strode away.

At the door of the pavilion, Yang Yuan pointed to the young man beside him and looked at the woman who was on the fence, "This is my beloved apprentice, I haven't married a wife yet, although you cover your face and have a woman's hair bun, it doesn't matter, my disciple doesn't care about these, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, and our two families will become in-laws? This old gentleman can rest assured, although we are from the rivers and lakes, but our family background is not bad, and the dowry will only be more generous than the children and grandchildren of a country's generals and ministers." If you don't believe it, you can ask your saber servant, who is so good at it, he should recognize the identity of the old man. ”

The old man surnamed Sui turned pale.

Hu Xinfeng looked embarrassed, and after brewing the draft, he said to the old man: "Brother Sui, this Yang Yuan Yang senior, nicknamed Hunjiang Jiao, was a martial arts master on the Jinfeng National Highway in the early years. ”

The young man trembled, and said in a trembling voice: "Hunjiang Jiao Yang Yuan, hasn't he been killed by Lin Shu and Lin Daxia, the masters of the Zhengrong Sect?"

No matter how subtle the young man's voice is, he thinks that others can't hear it, but it can fall into the ears of masters of the rivers and lakes such as Hu Xinfeng and Yang Yuan, and it is naturally a clear and audible "heavy talk".

Hu Xinfeng turned his head and said angrily: "Sui grammar, don't talk nonsense! Quickly apologize to Senior Yang!"

The handsome boy apologized again.

This is the second time he has apologized.

Yang Yuan stretched out a hand and said with a smile: "Go inside and chat." This kind of face, I hope that the old servant of Wuling Country Sui will still give it. ”

The old man surnamed Sui breathed a sigh of relief slightly. It's good if you don't kill it right away. Scenes of blurred flesh and blood are often found in books, but the old man has really never seen them with his own eyes.

Since the other party recognized his identity and called himself the old waiter, maybe things would take a turn for the better.

The two sides sat on the bench under the wall of the pavilion, only the old man Yang Yuan and the disciple with the sword sat on the bench facing the door, the old man leaned forward, bent down and clenched his fists, and there was no trace of the fierce spirit of the devil of the rivers and lakes, and looked at the woman who had never said a word, and the girl beside her, the old man smiled: " If the old squire of Sui doesn't mind, you can kiss and kiss, I also have a good grandson in my family, who just turned sixteen this year, and didn't go with me to the rivers and lakes, but he is full of poetry and books, which is a real seed of reading, not a verbal deception, Lan Fangguo is the imperial examination this year, my grandson is a second-class jinshi, surnamed Yang Mingrui, and the old squire of Sui may have heard of my grandson's name. ”

Then the old man turned his head to his disciple and smiled: "I don't know which woman my Rui'er will take a fancy to, Fu Zhen, who do you think Rui'er will pick, will it conflict with you?"

The disciple with the sword on his back hurriedly said, "It's better to marry a wife for the older ones and take a concubine for the younger ones." ”

The old man frowned and said, "It's not in line with the courtesy." ”

The disciple said with a smile: "People in the rivers and lakes, you don't have to pay attention to it so much, it's really not good, if you want these two girls to be wronged, just change their names." Marrying Yang Rui, talented, good-looking and family background, if it weren't for the fact that there was no princess and county lord of the right age in Lanfangguo, he would have been a concubine a long time ago, and the two girls married our Yang Rui, what a blessing, and they should be content. ”

Hu Xinfeng endured his anger, "Senior Yang, don't forget, this is in our Wuling Kingdom!"

Yang Yuan said with a smile: "If Wang Blund, the first person in Wuling Kingdom, sits here, I won't enter this pavilion." Coincidentally, Wang Yu should be in the Great Seal Capital now. Of course, our big gang of people swaggered across the border, and there are really dead people, and those experienced people in Wuling Country will definitely be able to catch some clues, but it doesn't matter, when the time comes, the old squire of Sui will help clean up the mess, and the reputation of scholars is the most important, and the ugliness of the family cannot be spread. ”

Hu Xinfeng sighed and turned his head to look at the old man surnamed Sui, "Brother Sui, what do you say?"

The old man surnamed Sui looked at the sturdy old man and sneered: "I don't believe you Yang Yuan, you can really be lawless in our Wuling Kingdom." ”

Yang Yuan laughed at it and asked Hu Xinfeng: "What did Hu Daxia say? Do you fight for your own life, but also pay for a sect and a family, and also protect the two women to prevent our two families from getting married? Or is it more interesting, on the day of my family's marriage, you, as a first-class guest, came to the door to give a gift to congratulate you, and then let me return a big gift?"

The sword-carrying disciple said with a smile: "After the raw rice is cooked and cooked, the woman will be much more obedient." ”

Yang Yuan smiled and nodded: "The words are not rough. ”

The old man surnamed Sui pleaded: "Hu Daxia, when you are in danger, don't abandon us!"

Hu Xinfeng's expression was complicated, and heaven and man were at war.

Yang Yuan smiled and said: "It's a pity that the young scholar is not there, otherwise he would definitely scold your in-laws a few words in the words of your scholars, but it is also a loss that he is not there, otherwise I will never let the old in-laws lose this face, and if I kill it, I will kill it." My temper is much better than back then, especially since there is an extra Rui'er in the family, I have a lot of respect for you readers, no matter how many sage books you have read in your stomach. ”

The woman suddenly said: "I can stay, let them go, and then rush to Lanfang Country immediately, even if someone reports to the official, as long as we cross the border and enter Jinfei Country, it will be meaningless." ”

Yang Yuan shook his head and said: "The trouble is here, we came to your Wuling Kingdom this time, and it is convenient for my family Rui'er to find a daughter-in-law, and there are still some things that must be done." Therefore, Hu Daxia's decision is very important. ”

Hu Xinfeng suddenly asked, "Even if I nod and agree in this pavilion, will you really rest assured?"

Yang Yuan smiled: "Of course I don't worry. ”

Hu Xinfeng took a deep breath, twisted his waist, and punched the old man surnamed Sui on the head.

Mo said that he was a weak old man, even an ordinary master of the rivers and lakes, and he couldn't withstand Hu Xinfeng's punch.

But the next moment, Hu Xinfeng was blocked by a sword light, and Hu Xinfeng suddenly stopped.

It turned out that in front of the old man surnamed Sui, there was a sword lying horizontally.

The person who came out of the sword was the proud disciple of Yang Yuan of the Hunjiang Jiao, the young swordsman was behind the loss in one hand, holding the sword in the other, and smiling, "Sure enough, the so-called master of the Wuling Kingdom is very disappointing." Just one Wang Yu can be regarded as standing out from the crowd, among the latest ten people in the Great Seal Commentary, although Wang Yu can only be at the bottom, but he is definitely far better than other martial artists in Wuling Kingdom. ”

Yang Yuan frowned, "What nonsense." ”

The young man knew that he was speechless, a touch of anger flashed on his face, he took a step, the sword light flashed, and in the small pavilion, the heat had already cleared after the heavy rain, and when the young swordsman took out the sword, it was even more cool and refreshing.

Hu Xinfeng stepped back step by step and said angrily: "Senior Yang, why is this?!"

In the face of the fierce sword light that crisscrossed the Shining Pavilion, Hu Xinfeng could still open his mouth to ask, obviously superior to Yang Yuan's disciples.

The young swordsman lost a beautiful girl who had not seen her face but had a delicate posture in vain, just listening to her say a word, she felt that her bones were crispy, she must be a stunning beauty, even if her appearance was not as attractive as her figure and voice, she was not far behind, especially she was a lady from the scholarly family of Wuling Kingdom, she must have a unique charm, she never thought that it would be cheap for some reason Yang Rui's kid, the young swordsman had accumulated a belly of evil fire, and Hu Xinfeng dared to distract himself at this time, and the sword became more and more ruthless and fast.

The handsome young man Sui Wenfa hid beside the old man surnamed Sui, and the girl Sui Wenyi snuggled in her aunt's arms, trembling.

The woman comforted softly, "Don't be afraid. ”

Yang Yuan's body was like an ape, one bent over, a little on tiptoe, rushed out vigorously, grabbed the gap, and hit Hu Xinfeng on the chest with both fists that could dodge a sword, and hit Hu Xinfeng upside down on the spot, fell to the ground heavily, vomited blood, and struggled twice and couldn't get up.

Yang Yuan sneered in his heart, it was like this twenty years ago, and it is still the same twenty years later, his mother's gang of righteous heroes who sell their reputations and reputations, one is smarter than the other, and he was too stupid back then, so he had no ability to do anything, and he had no place to stand in the rivers and lakes of Jinmeng Country. But fortunately, because of the blessing of disguise, not only created a thriving new sect on the border between the two countries, but also mixed into the officialdom of Lanfang Country and the Qingci Country Mountain, and got to know two real masters.

The young swordsman was about to sweep out and add a few swords to the heart and head of the big man.

But Yang Yuan stretched out his hand to stop him, and when Hu Xinfeng wiped the blood with his head sideways, his lips moved slightly, and so did Yang Yuan.

At this moment, two horsemen came slowly on the trail, and when they encountered this "dispute in the rivers and lakes", they did not slow down the horse's hooves at all.

One rider is an old man in black with a sword, and the other rider is a man in his thirties.

But when the two horses passed by the pavilion, the old man did not look at the crowd, but rode by.

The old man surnamed Sui shouted: "Two chivalrous men help! I am Sui Xinyu, the former squire of the Ministry of Industry of Wuling Kingdom, these gangsters want to make money and kill their lives!"

The younger man suddenly turned his head and said in surprise, "But Uncle Sui?!"

Sui Xinyu, who was more famous than being an official in Wuling Kingdom's study and chess, was stunned for a moment, and then nodded vigorously.

Yang Yuan smiled: "Old in-law, you are really not afraid of killing innocent passers-by." I now regret these two marriages, and God knows if I will sell it to your in-laws one day. ”

The man turned over and dismounted, saluted, and said in a crying voice: "Junior Cao Fu, meet Uncle Sui! In order to take refuge, the junior was afraid of implicating Uncle Sui, so he had to say goodbye without saying goodbye. ”

Except for Yang Yuan and the disciple named Fu Zhen, the faces of the group changed greatly, and everyone was terrified.

Cao Fu is in the Lanfang Country and the Qingci Country, but the existence of a famous name has inexplicably changed from a lame martial artist who wandered to the Lanfang Country to a high-ranking disciple of the old gods on the mountain of the Qingci Country. Although it is said that on the territory of more than a dozen countries, the name of a cultivator is not very capable of scaring people, and the common people may not have heard of it, but some of the rivers and lakes of the family know that the cultivators who can stand tall in the territory of more than a dozen countries, especially those who have immortal mansions and ancestral halls, are not easy to deal with.

This Cao Fu in the past ten years, several times down the mountain to travel the rivers and lakes, surrounded by legendary protectors to follow, Cao Fu almost never shot, but Cao Fu's name, has long been spread throughout the Lanfang, Qingci two countries, it is said that the famous queen of Lanfang country, in the early years with him is still a senior sister and brother relationship.

So now the top ten grandmasters and the four beauties selected by the Great Seal Dynasty, two of them are related to Cao Fu, one is the senior sister of the "Youlan Beauty", one of the four beauties, and the other three, two of them are beautiful women who have been famous for a long time, the retreat disciples of the Great Seal National Teacher, the northernmost Qingliu Country was born in the market, and was hidden by a border general Jinwu Jiaojiao, for which the neighboring country also started a provocation on the border with the Qingliu State, and it is rumored that it is to kidnap this red face and trouble.

It is also a person who has a relationship with Cao Fu, the proud son of the heavens with excellent luck, who is still ranked before Wang Yu on the new list of the Great Seal, the swordsman Xiao Shuye, who is not only the legendary great master who has entered the realm of refining gods, but also learned from Master Cao Fu a superb thunder method that can kill demons and demons.

If there is no accident, the old man in black who followed Cao Fu to stop his horse and turn his head is Uncle Xiao.

The girl raised her head, grabbed her aunt's arm, and said in surprise: "Auntie, is it really the uncle Cao Fu who is often mentioned in grammar?"

The handsome young man Sui Wenfa was even more tearful, about the deeds of this Uncle Cao, he had been fascinated for a long time, but he was not sure if it was the man who married his aunt back then but fell into the middle of the family, but the young man dreamed that Cao Fu, the immortal on the side of Lanfangguo, was the young man who almost married his aunt in his early years.

After Cao Fu straightened his waist, he went to help that Hu Daxia up.

Hu Xinfeng smiled bitterly: "Gongzi Cao, blame me Hu Xinfeng, if you don't arrive, you will hand over this life, and you will not be able to protect Brother Sui, once it causes a catastrophe, it will be difficult to redeem a hundred deaths." ”

Cao Fu hurriedly took a step back and bowed again, "Hu Daxia is high-spirited and bright, and he is worshiped by the younger generation Cao Fu." ”

Sui Xinyu snorted coldly and waved his sleeves, "Cao Fu, I don't know my heart when I know people, I don't know my heart, when Hu Daxia was just talking to someone, he almost accidentally killed your Uncle Sui." ”

Cao Fu was stunned.

Sui Xinyu sighed, "Cao Fu, you are still too kind-hearted, you don't know that this river and lake are sinister, it doesn't matter, you see friendship in adversity, just when I was blind before Sui Xinyu, I met such a friend as Hu Daxia." Hu Xinfeng, let's go, in the future, my Sui family can't climb Hu Daxia, so don't have any more relationships. ”

Hu Xinfeng turned his head and spit out a mouthful of blood on the ground, clenched his fists and bowed his head: "In the future, Hu Xinfeng will definitely go to Brother Sui's mansion and come to the door to ask for guilt." ”

The man with the saber stroked his chest with one hand and pressed the knife with the other, staggering away step by step, his back desolate.

Yang Yuan stood at the door of the pavilion, his face was gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "Cao Fu, don't rely on the relationship between the master and the sect to think that it is okay, this is Wuling Country, not Lanfang Country, not Qingci Country." ”

Sui Xinyu stroked his beard and smiled: "How can the old man sound familiar with such words." ”

Hunjiang Jiao Yang Yuan's face was cold and hard, and he seemed to be holding back a breath of anger, but he didn't dare to make a move, which made the old waiter of Wuling Country feel even more happy in life, a good life is impermanent, and the willows and flowers are bright and bright.

The girl Sui Wenyi snuggled in her aunt's arms, covered her mouth and smiled, her eyes narrowed into crescent moons, looking at the man named Cao Fu, her heart swayed, and then the girl's face was a little gloomy.

Sui Wenfa's eyes widened, staring hard at Cao Fu, who could be regarded as half an uncle, and the young man felt that he must take a look at the heroes of the rivers and lakes who came out of a book, but it was a pity that this elegant Uncle Cao, who was as elegant as a literati, did not wear a sword and hang a sword, otherwise it would be perfect.

After Cao Fu took one hand, he stood on the road, clenched his fist in his abdomen with one hand, showing the grace of the celebrity, and saw that the old servant of Sui nodded secretly, worthy of being a good match for the daughter he chose that year, and sure enough, he was the dragon and phoenix among the people.

Cao Fu first glanced at the woman on the fence, his eyes were gentle like water, and he couldn't explain his thoughts and sorrows, and then turned his head to look at Yang Yuan, who was another chic and graceful tempered by the rivers and lakes, he stepped back, squatted slightly on both knees, handed out a palm forward, and said with a smile: "Yang Yuan, I haven't seen you for so many years, since I have met you, how many tricks will I learn?"

Yang Yuan sneered: "What about the difference in seniority, just let my disciple Fu Zhen have a few tricks with you, life and death are conceited, and they don't involve their respective masters and elders, how about it?"

The corners of Fu Zhen's mouth twitched.

Yang Yuan had already said in a deep voice: "Fu Zhen, no matter whether you win or lose, you will have three swords." ”

Fu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, the master finally didn't push himself to death.

Fu Zhen took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Then discuss the three tricks with Master Cao Daxian." ”

After Fu Zhen thought about it for a while, he handed out a sword directly, and his steps moved forward, like a dragonfly touching water, very light.

This sword seems to be imposing, but it actually has a lot of strength.

Thinking that it's a big deal to suffer a little under the hands of the other party and save a small life.

But Fu Zhen soon regretted his bowels.

The man stepped out, his head tilted, and just when Fu Zhen hesitated whether to symbolically wipe it, the man had already come to Fu Zhen in an instant, with one palm against Fu Zhen's face, and said with a smile: "Five thunder real seals, quickly get out of the palace." ”

Bang.

If there is a thunder law, it will explode on Fu Zhen's door.

Fu Zhen, who was bleeding and killed on the spot, flew out upside down and smashed open the wall facing the door of the pavilion, and disappeared in an instant.

The sword that let go of the fall to the ground was grabbed by Cao Fu with his hand, and with a wave of his hand, it was nailed into a big tree.

The handsome young man Sui Wenfa was so excited that he wiped his face and really cried. Don't be a half-uncle, it's the uncle in your mind! You must ask this uncle for advice on a trick and a half, and then you will study on your own...... At least it won't be as pitiful as the stinky chess basket boy before, isn't it? I have to apologize and apologize when I am hit, I dare not say a word when I am pushed down and fall in the mud, and I am not slow when I run, and I am carrying such a big green bamboo bookcase, how funny.

Hunjiang Jiao Yang Yuan led people to leave the pavilion quickly, and Cao Fu asked with a smile: "Uncle Sui, do you need to stop them?"

The face of the woman hidden behind the light veil did not change much.

The old man surnamed Sui thought about it, but he still didn't want to make a fuss, shook his head and smiled: "Forget it, I've already taught them a lesson." We hurried out of here, after all, there was a corpse behind the pavilion. ”

As for those murderers who leave when they see a bad opportunity, will they harm passers-by.

The two parties who almost became Weng's son-in-law in the early years may have a tacit understanding, but they may not have thought of it, so they will not care about it anyway.

After some talking, I learned that Cao Fu had just come all the way from Lanfang, Qingci, and Jinqi Kingdom this time, and had actually found a trip to the Sui family mansion in Wuling Kingdom. Cao Fu had palpitations, and only said that he was late, and the old waiter laughed, saying that it was better to come early than to come smartly, not too late, not too late. When he said these words, the elegant old man looked at his daughter, but unfortunately the woman just didn't say a word, and the old man smiled even more, most likely because his daughter was shy. Cao Fu is such a one-in-a-million dragon fast son-in-law, it is already a great pity to miss once, and now Cao Fu is obviously returning to his hometown, and he has not forgotten the marriage contract of the year, which is even rarer, and he must not miss it again.

The previous "Cao Daxian Master" of the fierce thief leader Yang Yuan's disciples.

Let Sui Xinyu remember it to death.

Cao Fu originally wanted to protect the old man to go to the Great Seal Capital, saying that he was willing to follow all the way, but as soon as he heard the old man say that he would return to his hometown, the grass and trees would be a grand event, and the road was far away, and his body and bones might not be able to withstand the bumps, so Cao Fu changed his mind, and also said that now there are water Jiao in the Great Seal Capital City, and it is better not to go.

The group walked out of the pavilion, each rode a horse, slowly descended the mountain along this ancient tea horse road, and returned to the county town where the Sui family of Wuling Country was located, and there was still a short journey, and they also had to pass through the land of Gyeonggi, which actually made Sui Xinyu very comfortable, thinking about a little detour, and it was not bad to go to the capital to meet those old friends.

When the woman turned over and got on the horse, she looked at the end of the path out of the corner of her eye, thoughtfully.

Yang Yuan's group of fierce gangsters in the rivers and lakes returned along the same road, either diverted from the path and fled, or ran wildly, otherwise once he continued to rush to the capital of the Great Seal, he would probably encounter it.

On the way down the mountain.

Previously, after Hu Xinfeng walked out of everyone's field of vision, he immediately began to stride forward, and saw the man in the green shirt, Hu Xinfeng was annoyed when he saw this waste, and always felt that he was so unlucky today, all thanks to this person, if it wasn't for him to die in the pavilion while playing chess, and playing a game of chess with the surname Sui, then leave the pavilion a little earlier, or leave the pavilion a little later, maybe it is not today's situation, he Hu Xinfeng not only has a good relationship with the Sui family, maybe he can also climb the high Cao Fu by the way。 As a result, now that Sui Xinyu is annoyed, not to mention, he doesn't even have the opportunity to make friends with Cao Fu and get acquainted with each other, maybe the girl who looks so good that he doesn't even dare to move crooked thoughts, and then with the half-married husband Cao Fu who has been separated for a long time, blow the pillow wind, Hu Xinfeng is afraid that he will be ruined one day!

How much of a loss is this coming and going?

When I think of this.

Hu Xinfeng swept over with one kick, and the whip leg hit the weak scholar's head, causing the latter to fall into the dense forest outside the mountain road, and disappeared in an instant.

Hu Xinfeng felt a little better at this time.

Hu Xinfeng was in a much smoother mood, and spit out a mouthful of blood-stained saliva, which was previously hammered in the chest by Yang Yuanshuang, but in fact, it looked seeping, but in fact, the injury was not serious.

But after Hu Xinfeng walked out of the half-mile road, his eyes suddenly widened, why was there the young scholar holding a walking stick in front of him?

Lao Tzu, is this the hell in the daytime?

Hu Xinfeng carefully picked up a stone and threw it gently.

Just hit the back of the man's head, the man reached out to cover his head, turned his head with an angry face, and scolded angrily: "Is it over?"

Hu Xinfeng wanted to laugh, but suddenly he didn't dare to laugh again.

Hu Xinfeng's heartstrings were tense, and he was about to sweep out of this ancient tea horse road that suddenly made him feel gloomy, but the person staggered directly towards him, this treacherous scene made Hu Xinfeng unable to move for a while.

Hu Xinfeng's face stiffened.

The man helped the hat and asked with a smile: "Why, don't you take the big road?"

Hu Xinfeng swallowed his saliva, nodded and said, "Take the big road, you have to take the big road." ”

The two walked slowly together.

Hu Xinfeng weighed it and found that the man seemed to be unsteady in his steps, his face was slightly pale, and there was sweat oozing from his forehead.

Bang.

The man flew out of the Ancient Tea Horse Road again.

Hu Xinfeng rubbed his fist with the palm of his hand, it hurt, and now he should be too dead to die anymore.

It's just that after walking another mile, the green-shirted man reappeared in sight.

At this moment, Hu Xinfeng was sweating, but his back was cold.

Fortunately, the man still walked towards him, and then walked side by side with him, but slowly walked down the mountain.

Hu Xinfeng has been sweating like rain.

Suddenly there was the sound of horses' hooves behind me.

Hu Xinfeng retreated violently and shouted loudly: "Brother Sui, Gongzi Cao, this person is Yang Yuan's accomplice!"

But the rider just passed by, and no one turned to look at him.

Hu Xinfeng was struck by lightning.

The young scholar smiled, "That's a little embarrassing. ”

But the young scholar suddenly frowned.

In the cavalry, the woman said anxiously with ripples in her heart: "Chen Gongzi save me!"

Chen Ping'an just turned a deaf ear and slowed down, as soon as he slowed down, Hu Xinfeng slowed down.

But the woman's ride was not dead, but she was crazy, and in an instant she turned her horse's head and rode alone, running against the rest of the people, and went straight to the green shirt and hat.

Rao is Chen Ping'an was a little dumbfounded, he had seen more shameless people, but he had never seen such a shameless person, the woman dismounted, floated beside him, and then hid behind him and the bookbox, and said softly: "Chen Gongzi, I know that you are a cultivator, save me." ”

Chen Ping'an turned his head and asked, "Am I your father or your grandfather?"

The woman suddenly took off the hat, revealing her face, and she said sadly: "As long as you can save me, you will be my benefactor of Sui Jingcheng, and you will ...... with your body."

I never thought that the man would slap her on the spot and flip her over a few times, and then fall to the ground, directly stunning her sitting on the ground.

The man said, "I've put up with you for a long time. ”

But the next moment, the man sighed, faced her and Hu Xinfeng's weak scholars, took out an extra jade bamboo folding fan out of thin air, and smiled: "Tang Tu Beauty, Tang Tu Beauty." ”
