In the spring of March of the twelfth year of Longwu in Southern Qi, Yi Tianhang, Liu Qingyuan and others, who had disappeared for half a year, went out of the rivers and lakes again, and these people traveled by car in high spirits, but as soon as the front foot left Jiangyang City, there were several carrier pigeons flying out of the city.

Half an hour ago, Yi Tianhang and Liu Qingyuan and others each chose their own outfits in the cloth shop, and they were ready to go to the carriage shop to hire a carriage, the four of them just got out of the cloth shop, but Tang Jifeng was recognized by a disciple of the Jiangyang branch of the Tang Gate, this disciple wanted to come forward to say hello, and saw that the three people next to Tang Jifeng had extraordinary temperaments, and they hid aside and looked carefully.

I saw the middle-aged man led by him with a scumbag on his face, a goose sword at his waist, swaggering, and an extraordinary spirit; The young man who followed was dressed in a navy blue suit, with a long sword on his back and a straight sword, and he was heroic; Look at the third person, with a wide blade and a straight knife on his back, although he is half a hundred years old, his eyes are like torches and his momentum is compelling.

This Tang Sect disciple was wondering, but suddenly reacted: "Alas? No, it's Liu Qingyuan! Carrying the sword is a thief who seriously injured the young master! Tang Jifeng betrayed his master! ”

This Tang Jifeng is also unlucky, originally he was a disciple of his own generation, and he was appointed as the manager of the Jiangyang Branch, although he is not considered to have a promising future in the Tang Sect, but he also has a slight status, and he has no worries about food and clothing, after all, the three generations of disciples of A, B and C have long been ancient, and there are not a few left in the T-shaped generation, and the self-character generation is also regarded as the old seniority of the Tang Sect.

Since he was kidnapped by Yi Tianhang and Xing Zongliang, he has been frightened every day, but now he doesn't have to be afraid, he just needs to flee for his life, he has been missing for more than half a year and suddenly appeared, and he is with Liu Qingyuan and Yi Tianhang, and he has been convicted of betrayal.

Between the two cities of Jiangyang and Zizhong is a fertile and open land, but there is no danger for the Tang Gate to ambush, and these four characters sit in the carriage and chat.

Xing Zongliang teased Tang Jifeng and said: "I said Old Tang, are you surnamed Tang now?" Or is it surnamed Xing? Now that you have betrayed the Tang Sect, it is not appropriate to continue to be surnamed Tang. ”

Tang Jifeng was leisurely brushing his two mustaches, and when he heard this, his face shook with fat, and he glanced at Xing Zongliang: "You still have the face to mention this matter, Old Tang, my life was originally extremely comfortable, and I was in charge of the cloth business of my own door in Jiangyang, and there were more than a dozen people under my hands, and I was also a slightly heady figure in Jiangyang, but I was captured by the two of you, and it was regarded as capsizing." Life, even if you are down, it doesn't matter, it's a big deal to start over, you said that the two of you are really harmful, if the Tang Sect knows that I am still alive and is still waiting with you, I will be confessed in this life. ”

"The dozen or so people who were with you at the time are now overgrown with grass on the grave." Yi Tianhang interjected coldly.

As soon as these words came out, Tang Jifeng trembled, hurriedly shut up, and muttered in his heart: "Hey, I forgot that there is this master, this is a ruthless character, young but ruthless, those brothers under the steward half a year ago, life, follow the trend." ”

The atmosphere was a little embarrassing in an instant, Xing Zongliang was waiting for a round, but he heard Liu Qingyuan say: "Tianhang, this coachman's driving skills are first-class." ”

Yi Tianhang knew that Liu Qingyuan had something to say when he heard it, and he was instantly alert, the level of this coachman's driving can only be said to be okay, but on this smooth and wide official road, he drove the car fast and slowly, obviously a novice, and this carriage is a few years old at a glance, and this coachman is not at all the old style of driving the car for more than ten years as the shopkeeper said.

Xing Zongliang and Tang Jifeng are also very shrewd, the two glanced at each other, meaning to let the other party go out to test and tempt, but these two people blinked there, but they didn't sit still, Xing Zongliang pouted again, and Tang Jifeng actually stroked his two mustaches again.

Yi Tianhang glanced at the two of them, but Tang Jifeng was startled, and hurriedly shouted: "Coachman~~~, stop for a while, Uncle Ben is in a hurry." ”

There was a sound outside the carriage, the carriage slowly stopped, and Tang Jifeng hurriedly got out, not much effort, only heard the sound of fighting outside.

After a while, Tang Jifeng came in with a black eye, and muttered in his mouth: "The person is from the Tang Sect, he has been knocked out and tied up by me, we have been exposed, and the Tang Sect disciples of Zizhong and Deyang will receive the news in a few days, but I am afraid that we will face the endless pursuit and killing of the Tang Sect." Alas, my Tang someone's life~~~"

"Tang someone, what's going on with your eye sockets?" Xing Zongliang was not worried about the Tang Sect at all, and ridiculed Tang Jifeng again.

"Hmph, Master Tang, I was going to drugged him and stun him, but I will talk about it after tying him up first, who knows that old boy pretended to be dizzy, and he punched me while I was not prepared, but fortunately I was agile." Tang Jifeng gestured and said, but the "agile" body was swaying with fat.

"In this way, Zizhong can't go, it's better to sneak back to Deyang directly." Liu Qingyuan ignored Xing Zongliang's run on Tang Jifeng, and went straight to the point.

"What the predecessors said is good, there must be many killings outside the city of Zizhong, and Deyang is afraid that there will also be killers in the Tang Gate, since it is mainly to return to the Absolute Sword Gate, instead of going to Zizhong to fight, it is better to leave the strength to go to Deyang and fight to the death." Yi Tianhang said.

The decision was made, and the four of them were about to leave, but they heard a burst of wild laughter outside the carriage: "Hahahaha, you can't go anywhere, Tang Jiqing, the steward of the Jiangyang Branch of Tangmen, is here, and the steward will send you on the road today!" ”

The four people in the car stared at each other when they heard this, I am afraid that the steward who spoke so wildly didn't he just come out of his mother's womb, didn't he know how many Tang Sect stewards and disciples had died in Jiangyang Realm?

"Brother Qing, I'm my own service, I haven't seen you for a year, have you been transferred to Jiangyang?" As soon as Tang Jifeng got out of the car, he was busy putting on a set.

"Tang Jifeng, you traitor who has turned away from the sect, I just killed you today to clean up the portal." Tang Jiqing was quite disdainful and didn't look at Tang Jifeng squarely.

Liu, Xing, and Yi also got out of the car one after another, only to see that Tang Jiqing led more than a dozen Tang disciples to intercept the way, arrogant.

Tang Jifeng still wanted to set up a trap, but was dragged aside by Xing Zongliang, and he snorted at Yi Tianhang, and said, "Dead fatty, you are tired of living, didn't you see that master drawing a knife?" He hasn't practiced his six-punch sword technique since he practiced it. ”

Hearing this, Tang Jifeng hurriedly glanced at Yi Tianhang, good guy, I saw that Yi Tianhang's expression was extremely excited, and he was drawing his knife, this is going to kill.

Tang Jifeng hurriedly shook his head and whispered to Xing Zongliang: "Thank you Xiao Xing for saving your life." ”

"Get out." Xing Zongliang kicked directly at Tang Jifeng.

There was no suspense in this battle, and Tianhang took the lead, Xing Zongliang and Liu Qingyuan joined the battle, and the difference in strength was huge, and the three of them slaughtered the Jiangyang branch of Tangmen without much effort.

Why is it again, the former steward Tang Jifeng is standing by the carriage trembling at the moment, watching Yi Tianhang finally give the fake coachman the result, and is wiping the blood on the knife with the placket of someone's clothes.

The four of them packed up and found that they hadn't gone far after going out of the city for half a day, and the Tang Sect disciple who was pretending to be a coachman had been driving around Jiangyang.

It was getting late, and Yitianhang said to Tang Jifeng: "Go back to Jiangyang, go to the Tangmen branch to rest, and by the way, collect some money, the hundreds of taels of silver I saved will make the two of you a disaster." ”

Xing Zongliang was quite embarrassed, scratched his head and went to the car, Tang Jifeng hurriedly followed, Liu Qingyuan nodded at Yi Tianhang, and the two also got into the carriage, but the carriage didn't move for a long time, this didn't drive!

After a while, I only heard the sound of "ah", and a fat man was kicked out, and he crawled and drove to Jiangyang.

The four of them rested for one night in the Jiangyang branch of Tangmen under the guidance of Tang Jifeng, and Tang Jifeng returned to his old nest after half a year.

Tang Jifeng was sad there alone, sighing about life, but was slapped on the back of the head by Xing Zongliang and staggered.

"Dead fatty, what's sad, hurry up and see how many silver tickets you can scavenge, you eat the most for most of the year, and most of the hundreds of taels of silver tickets for Brother Yi were spent by you." Xing Zongliang walked behind Tang Jifeng and said.

"Xiao Xing, you are too much, you are the one who even eats roast sheep for a few months, you eat all the sheep in Fengshi Castle, and you also trouble the Xuxu brothers to go to Jiangyang to purchase every day; You are also the one who makes the big knife, so you have to go to the forest to get a tree to practice the knife, and you can practice dozens of knives in a few months, and the knife alone costs nearly 100 taels. Tang Jifeng said quite dissatisfied, after all, the fat man went to the storeroom.

In the early morning of the second day, the four of them were full of spirits, their purses were more sufficient, they bought six horses, and instead of going to the capital, they took the Dianjiang River from Jiangyang to the northeast, and purchased what they needed on the road in the bazaar, after all, they walked from Jiangyang to Dianjiang on a forest path, and there was not even a post station and a village on the way.

Tang Jifeng looted more than 1,000 taels of silver tickets and scattered silver taels last night, and thousands of taels of silver tickets with the prefix of Tang were burned by Yi Tianhang, and the distressed Tang Jifeng did not fall asleep all night, and was taken away by Yi Tianhang The 1,000 taels of silver tickets were snatched away, and in the morning he got up listlessly with tears in his eyes.

Fortunately, Yitianhang is not rare for those hidden weapons and medicinal materials in the warehouse, this Tang Jifeng packed a few large bags as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and bought an extra horse for him to carry under Liu Qingyuan's intercession.

The four of them had nothing to do all the way, and finally arrived at Dianjiang City after three or four days of eating and sleeping, because of the fact that they were recognized in Jiangyang, Xing Zongliang suddenly remembered that a year ago in the ancient tomb, Yi Tianhang had pretended to be Jiang Wei, so he asked about this disguise technique, but Yi Tianhang completely broke off this idea.

Although the process of making the mask is not complicated, the materials used are relatively difficult to find, and the "dough" of Jiang Wei was made that time, and all the materials left by Master Yi Tianhang were used up.

The four of them led the horses into the city, and they found a place to settle down in the inn, so Xing Zongliang and Tang Jifeng went to the market to replenish supplies, leaving only Liu Qingyuan and Yi Tianhang in the guest room.

"Senior, this road is quite smooth, but with Tang Wanxiong's old strategy, it is impossible not to guess that we will take the Dianjiang back to Deyang, even if the main force of the Tang Sect is in the capital, this Dianjiang is unobstructed and it is too unusual." Yi Tianhang is now tied to Liu Qingyuan on a rope, so he naturally regards Liu Qingyuan's matter as his own business, so he says what he thinks in his heart.

After hearing this, Liu Qingyuan said: "What Tianhang said is true, the old man is ready to fight all the way, even if Tang Wanxiong realizes it later, this Tang Sect should also rush here to do it, or not, the one who should come will come sooner or later, and wait for a night of rest, and he will go on the road tomorrow." ”

Late at night, at the inn where the four of them stayed, Liu Qingyuan was meditating on luck and pranayama, practicing the Absolute Knife Luck Method, and vaguely heard the sound of small footsteps in the corridor outside the door, guessing that the Tang Gate was coming, but he didn't expect the Tang Gate to dare to ignore the laws of the Southern Qi Dynasty and want to do something in the city.

Liu Qingyuan was worried that Yi Tianhang in the next room would be tricked, so he hurriedly coughed lightly and said to the door: "I don't know which way a friend came late at night, Liu Mou missed the welcome, and the hospitality was not good!" ”

As soon as these words came out, there was no movement outside the door in an instant, and after a while, an old man spoke: "It is worthy of Liu Daxia, the old man Tang Men Qirong, I came to visit today, I don't want to forget the time, I'm really sorry, I'm waiting outside the city tomorrow, farewell." ”

After a burst of footsteps, Liu Qingyuan went out to investigate, but there was no more than half a figure, Yi Tianhang and others in the next room had already been stunned, and the people in the inn were also unconscious.

Liu Qingyuan didn't sleep all night.
