The county prison.

"Alas, I didn't expect to be in prison for half my life, alas, Lao Tzu's name."

"You have a reputation for, but I'm afraid it's notorious."

"Brother Xu's words are a little ugly. No, aren't you an Overseer? Why don't you take the token out? ”

"You were once a general in the army, how can this little thing reveal the identity of the Inspector?"

"I don't want to reveal my identity, can't I just run? Why do you want to be caught? ”

"Run? It's a trivial matter to be wanted for the crime of killing a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect, so you are not afraid of attracting the pursuit of the Heavenly Sword Sect? ”

Xu Yihang and Zhou Zhong were actually imprisoned.

The two whispered, but heard someone in the opposite cell ask: "Look at the two dressed like Jianghu people, I don't know what crime the two heroes have committed?" ”

Xu Yihang looked at the opposite side, and vaguely saw that there were more than a dozen people in the opposite cell, some curled up, some sitting with their legs crossed, and some resting against the wall.

Zhou Zhong walked to the fence of the cell and said, "Zhou Zhong under the golden axe, I don't know what to call the brother on the other side?" ”

A person on the opposite side got up and said, "Cheng Qi in Xiaqi County." ”

"Fortunately, fortunately." Zhou Zhong replied.

Xu Yihang looked at Zhou Zhong and said, "Are you heartless or rude and rude?" Lucky to meet someone in prison? ”

That Cheng Qi seemed to be amused by Xu Erren, and said with a smile: "I don't like a local with two accents." ”

"Yes, the two of us are from Shudi."

"Oh? Shudi? How did you end up in the prison of Huai County? ”

"Well, it's a long story..." Zhou Zhong was a little ashamed, and he couldn't tell anyone that he was caught in this prison by mistake because of greed.

At this time, Xu Yihang had already looked at the people on the other side clearly, and saw that the clothes should be ordinary people such as fishermen and farmers, so he wondered in his heart, so he asked, "I don't know what Brother Cheng has done?" ”

Cheng Qi said: "Alas, more than a dozen of my brothers in the township were wronged by the government. ”

Zhou Zhong became interested and asked, "Brother Cheng said to hear it?" ”

"We were originally fishermen who made a living by fishing along the Yangtze River, because the Cao Gang lowered the price of fish for no reason, and it was difficult for us to make a living, so we summoned hundreds of fishermen to the county government of this county, hoping that the county guard could uphold justice, but I didn't expect that the Lu county guard actually colluded with the Cao Gang, sent officials to drive me away, and arrested more than a dozen of me, and was charged with gathering a crowd to riot/riot."

"Yo, this Lu County Shou is not much better than Lao Zhou!" Zhou Zhong said casually.

Xu Yihang said disdainfully: "You still have the face to say." ”

"Huh?" Cheng Qi didn't know why.

Xu Yihang said: "It's okay, Brother Cheng doesn't have to listen to this old Zhou's nonsense." It is said that this gathering of riots/chaos is a serious crime, and it is punishable by stabbing at the light and beheading at the worst, and you are really wronged. ”

As soon as Xu Yihang's words fell, Cheng Qizheng sighed, but heard someone coming.

"Master Shang Shao, look at those two people?" A jailer led a few people over.

It was Shang Xiyun who came.

"Not bad." Shang Xiyun stepped forward and looked at Xu Erren and said.

"Yes, you can take it away, don't forget to stop by the arrest department to inform you and take the bags and weapons of these two people." The jailer said.

The jailer opened the cell door, Xu Erren stared wide-eyed, and then looked at Shang Xiyun, who would have thought that it would be this "little white face" who would come to the prison to fish for people.

Shang Xiyun said coldly: "Don't leave yet?" Want to live here? ”

"Haha, go, go." Zhou Zhong pretended to be a bold reply.

Xu Erren had just come out of the cell, but he heard Cheng Qi say: "The two heroes are slow, and they have something to ask for in the future." ”

Xu Yihang turned around and said: "If the two of me are rescued by you, then I can't do anything about you." ”

Xu Yihang didn't want to save people, but he didn't want to face the behemoth of the Shangcao Gang right now, and he couldn't guess why Shang Xiyun came to save him.

。。。

Outside the county of Xiangxian County.

"Who are you two? Why is it in that wine shop? Shang Xiyun surrounded Xu Erren with more than a dozen people.

"In Xia Xu Yihang, this is Zhou Zhong, a person from Shudi, who just arrived here today, and he was really hungry, so he had to deal with some food at the scene of the murder."

"This gold-inlaid fishtail axe is not a mortal thing, what is the purpose of the two of you coming here thousands of miles away?" Shang Xiyun asked again.

Zhou Zhong looked proud when he heard this, and said: "Even if you have some eyesight, Old Zhou and Brother Xu are tired of staying in Shudi, and we are here to meet the heroes from all walks of life in the Central Plains." ”

Shang Xiyun saw that Xu Zhouren was surrounded by more than a dozen people from his side, but his face did not change, and his expression was as usual, and he expected that these two people were not ordinary Jianghu guests, so he no longer asked the bottom of the matter, and asked again: "Senior Brother Hao of the Heavenly Sword Sect and others went to hunt down and kill the thief, and they all died in a dense forest outside the city, but the thief disappeared. ”

Zhou Zhong looked like he didn't care, and said, "What do the dead people of the Heavenly Sword Gate have to do with me? ”

Shang Xiyun frowned slightly, as if he was extremely disgusted by Zhou Zhong's words, and said patiently: "My disciples and I don't know the appearance of that thief, and I need the two of you to help me recognize people." ”

Zhou Zhong was about to reply, but Xu Yihang preemptively said: "Okay, thanks to Your Excellency's rescue, how can you not help this little thing?" But I don't know what the name of the thief is. What evil did you do? ”

Shang Xiyun looked at Xu Yihang and said coldly: "Hmph! I don't even know this, do you still want to meet the heroes of the Central Plains? That thief is the notorious 'Blood Shadow Crazy Knife' Huang Chao, what evil did he do? Murder, excess, rape/adultery, and plunder! ”

Zhou Zhong laughed and said, "Blood Shadow Crazy Knife? This name is loud enough, haha, are you waiting for people in the Central Plains to call the nickname so casually? ”

Shang Xiyun glanced at Zhou Zhong, and he didn't hide his disgust.

Xu Yihang looked at Zhou Zhong with some disgust, and said to Shang Xiyun: "The master of the Shang Shao Sect has made an appointment with the Heavenly Sword Sect to hunt down Huang Chao?" ”

"No, I was escorting the goods here, and I happened to meet Senior Brother Hao of the Heavenly Sword Gate, so I made an appointment to get together, and I made an appointment at the wine shop, but I didn't expect Huang Chao to be there, but unfortunately it was a step late!" Although Shang Xiyun had resentment in his words, his expression was extremely calm.

Shang Xiyun suddenly felt that he had talked too much to Xu Yihang, a stranger, and was stunned, and said, "Come with me, catch up with Huang Chao, and return the two of you to freedom." ”

Three days later, in a small ferry port in the south of the county, there were seven or eight wooden tables, only three or three tea guests, and more than ten black-clothed knights sat down.

"Young master, I've been searching for three days, and I haven't even looked at the yellow shadow, are these two people not aware of the appearance of the yellow mess at all?" A gossip sect disciple said.

Shang Xiyun took a sip of the coarse tea in the bowl and said: "Don't be impatient, look for another day, if you can't find it, you can only go back to Qidi first, and the shopkeeper Zhang is still anxious to wait for the goods here." By the way, the death of Senior Brother Hao and the others has been reported to the Heavenly Sword Gate? ”

"Don't worry, the young master has entrusted the Minyi to report to Luoyi, and the bodies of Senior Brother Hao and others will also be transported."

Shang Xiyun looked at Xu Yihang and Zhou Zhong at the next table, and didn't know what he was thinking, he should be guessing the origin and identity of these two.

"Shopkeeper, come to a pot of herbal tea, a snack." A man in black shouted and sat down at a wooden table in the corner.

Shang Xiyun only glanced at it when he heard it, but he didn't care.

Zhou Zhong felt that this voice was a little familiar, turned his head to look, didn't make a sound, turned around and squeezed his eyebrows with Xu Yihang, and said: "The prey was sent to the door by itself, but I don't know if this hunter can hold it." ”

Xu Yihang pinched a piece of dim sum on the table and threw it on Shang Xiyun's table.

The disciples of the Bagua Sect were frightened and got up to reason with Xu Yihang, but Shang Xiyun saw Xu Yihang giving him a look, and pointed his right hand at the man in black who had just arrived on his chest.

Shang Xiyun suddenly understood, slapped the table, got up and drew a knife and shouted: "Huang Chao!" ”

The man in black didn't panic, and said leisurely: "Where did the little white face come from, this is to scare the uncle?" ”

Only then did the disciples of the Bagua Sect react, hurriedly got up and drew their swords, and surrounded them.

Shang Xiyun took a few steps forward and said, "A few days ago, you killed fifteen lives in the Heavenly Sword Sect?" ”

"Yo? Is this here for revenge? Gossip knife? Gossip faction? When did your Bagua Sect have such a friendship with the Heavenly Sword Sect? Huang Yan looked at Shang Xiyun and said.

Shang Xiyun said coldly: "Punishing adultery and eliminating evil, it is a matter of my generation!" ”

Huang Chao was not annoyed, and said: "Uncle Ben has something important today, and I don't have time to play with you, what should you do, don't look for death by yourself." ”

Shang Xiyun was looked down upon, a little angry, and said, "Don't talk nonsense!" Today, my gossip faction will get rid of you, the thief! ”

While talking, Huang Chao saw Xu Yihang and Zhou Zhong.

Huang Chao said: "Didn't those two watch the excitement outside the wine shop a few days ago? How can it be so coincidental? Come and see the excitement today? Or are you two leading these stinky boys to block the uncle? ”

Huang Chao didn't take Shang Xiyun and the others seriously at all.

Shang Xiyun saw that Huang Chao had no intention of making a move, so he simply took the preemptive action, flew and waved his knife, and took Huang Chao's face door directly with one move.

"I don't know how to advance or retreat!" Huang Ran's foot hooked the wooden table, and he lay on his back, easily dodging Shang Xiyun's blade.

"Since you are waiting for death, then Uncle Ben will move his muscles and bones." After Huang Chao finished speaking, he took advantage of the situation to support the ground with one hand, and then spun sideways, and kicked the wooden table towards Shang Xiyun with one foot.

The two were close, Shang Xiyun couldn't dodge, and was smashed by the wooden table and flew out, the solid wooden table shattered and scattered to the ground, Shang Xiyun was smashed out five or six steps away, fell to the ground and spit blood, and then realized the gap between the two martial arts.

With this move, the guests of the tea shed ran away in an instant, and the store didn't know where to hide, leaving only Xu Yihang, Huang Chao and the gossip faction.

The disciples of the Bagua Sect saw that their young master was suffering, so they rushed up and slashed at Huang Chao with their knives.

At this time, Huang Chao had already drawn his knife in his hand, and strode into the crowd, only to see the sword flashing and the blood mist gushing, and the disciples of the Bagua Sect fell five or six people when they landed, and the remaining six or seven people did not dare to approach, so they had to retreat to Shang Xiyun and protect their young master.

"Have you ever heard of Lao Tzu's murderous name or have you not seen the list? The three-legged cat kung fu also dares to shout for Lao Tzu's head?! Huang Chao said arrogantly.

A Bagua sect disciple saw Huang Chao approaching step by step, and hurriedly shouted: "Huang Chao! This is the young master I sent, if the young master has a mistake, the master will not let you go! ”

Shang Xiyun got up with difficulty and said, "Bastard! What is the difference between such rhetoric and begging for mercy? Skills are not as good as people, there is just death! ”

To say that Shang Xiyun's martial arts will not be defeated in one move, but he is young and vigorous, too light on the enemy, and was easily defeated by Huang Chao.

Huang Chao learned of Shang Xiyun's identity, thought for a moment, and said, "I have killed these people from your faction, how can I let you go?" But before Lao Tzu kills you, he has to kill two people to get angry. ”

Huang Chao walked to Xu Yihang and Zhou Zhong as he spoke, and said gloomily: "Outside the door of the wine shop, Lao Tzu left two people alive, but the two of them did not hesitate to take their lives to chase and kill me, if I don't kill you two, is it too sorry for the two?" ”
