Let's say that Longzi came down to the west of the ridge, heard someone calling him, and when he looked back, he couldn't help but be angry.

What do you say?

That man was the masked boy!

When Long Zixi saw the masked young man, he was furious and shouted:

"'Jade Noodles Hot Hands', you are so vicious!"

The boy smiled:

"Jade-faced spicy hands? Who is that man? What offended the young man? ”

Long Zixi said angrily:

"Stop pretending to be confused! Why did you kill Duber? What else is the conspiracy? ”

The young man smiled coldly:

"Let's not say if I'm a 'jade-faced spicy hand'.

"Did you see with your own eyes that I killed Duber?

"I told you last time, it's not something I've seen with my own eyes, don't jump to conclusions, I can't imagine that you still haven't grown like this!"

I was very disappointed.

Longzi West Road:

"Okay, let's not talk about anything else for the time being, I must see your true face today!"

As he spoke, he slowly drew his sword.

The young man was unimpressed, and suddenly smiled:

"Haha! People say that Long Shaoxia rarely uses weapons. Today's bright sword shows that I attach great importance to it, but it is my honor! ”

Long Zixi "snorted" and said:

"I know that you are strong in martial arts, and even if you use weapons, you may not be able to defeat you.

"However, as I said, if you die today, you must see your true face!"

The young man was unimpressed, and said:

"Is it that serious?

"Why is it so difficult to see me for what I really am?

"It's just not the time yet.

"I have something I want to tell you, and it's not too late for us to do that. What do you think? ”

Long Zixi said angrily:

"Tell me what you have to say."

Young young voice:

"Do you know the monarch of Shen Kingdom?"

Long Zixi nodded.

The boy said again:

"This Shen Hou is a hero, not to mention, he also has a daughter, seventeen years old, I heard that she is as beautiful as a flower."

Long Zixi looked at the young man and did not speak.

Seeing that he was unmoved, a trace of dissatisfaction crossed his face, and he continued:

"Two months later, that is, on December 20, this candidate is going to hold a hero party, will you participate?"

Long Zixi snorted and said:

"I'm not a hero, participate in what!"

The boy laughed, shook his head, and said:

"No, no, no, if you're not a hero, who can deserve the word 'hero'?

"Then Shen Hou has another intention to hold a hero party, don't you want to know?"

Long Zi Xixian is already impatient:

"If you want to talk quickly, what are you talking about!"

The boy was furious:

"You are so hateful, why are you so unreasonable to me?"

Long Zixi sneered slightly:

"My dragon son Xi has clear grievances. There is a lot of respect for good people, but there is no reason to talk about the great evil. This is what you taught me. ”

The young man suddenly laughed and said:

"You've finally made some progress.

"Well, I'm not reasoning with you either.

"Let's talk about Shen Hou, but he wants to find a good husband for his daughter.

"It's not boasting, I think there is only you and me in the world."

Longzi West Road:

"So, you have to go?"

The boy smiled slyly:

"Exactly. Aren't you going?

"That's a big pity!

"In my opinion, we might as well wait for that time to have a good competition, the one who wins is not only famous, but also more likely to be favored by Shen Hou, wouldn't it be better to embrace that beauty?"

Long Zixi sneered:

"So you're going to tell me this. I'm afraid that only one of you and I can go. ”

Juvenile Road:

"Hmph, I know what you mean. You want to fight for your life with me today, you live or die, don't you? ”

Long Zixi gritted his teeth and said:

"Exactly. Either you die, or I die! ”

The boy laughed again and shook his head:

"You stinky boy is so stubborn, you just hate it! Well, do you think I'm really afraid of you? ”

As he spoke, he slowly held the long whip in his hand.

The two stared at each other, and suddenly jumped off their horses at the same time, and hit each other.

Long Zixi's martial arts are superb, and the young man is also very good, but seeing that the sword and sword are pointed directly at the vital point, the whip and whip are not far from the left and right, and in the blink of an eye, more than 50 moves have been dismantled, and the fight is quite equal.

In the middle of the fight, the young man suddenly raised his left hand and shouted:

"Look at the darts!"

Long Zixi lowered his head and flashed, and a puff of smoke came out in front of him.

Long Zixi remembered that Yin Jifu said that this young man had used a poisonous smoke, which was very powerful, so he quickly took a few steps back and held his breath.

But when he saw that the young man had already jumped on horseback, he smiled and said:

"I don't think we'll be able to tell the winner for a while, so we'll leave this fight until December 20."

With that, he turned and left.

Long Zixi sweated, but he got out of it and left, and he was annoyed.

I wanted to hit him with a dart, but my mind moved, but I finally didn't make a move.

Back at the inn, Long Zixi did not tell everyone about meeting the masked boy.

After lunch, Yin Jifu summoned everyone to the room to discuss.

Yin Jifu said:

"The old man has gotten the exact news. The masked boy will deliver the baby girl to the imperial court about tomorrow afternoon, and the location will be in Liujiabao, thirty miles outside the pickaxe capital, where there is an ancient military ground. ”

Qin Shijie said:

"Why are you so verbose, why don't they just go into the city?"

Yin Jifu shook his head:

"This is also what the old man still doesn't understand."

Qin Yingjie said:

"Could it be a trap? Lure me into the hub? ”

Yin Jifu said:

"This needs to be consulted with everyone. I wonder what Long Xian's nephew has in mind? ”

Long Zixi thought for a while and said:

"According to the little nephew, this must be a trap.

"However, even if it is a trap, the little nephew must break through.

"Are you sure they'll take baby girls with them?"

Yin Jifu muttered:

"It's hard to know for sure.

"But the old man thinks that since they want to lure us in, they must make us feel that the risk is worth taking.

"And the baby girl is the biggest allure."

Longzi West Road:

"Not bad! If this is the case, the little nephew will never go! ”

Qin Shijie said:

"yes, it doesn't matter if it's a trap or whatever.

"We're tracking all the way for this day.

"Since the baby girl may appear, I have to save her with my life!"

Yin Jifu nodded:

"Then it's decided, we'll finish our preparations in the afternoon, rest for a good life, set off tonight, ambush in advance, and act when the opportunity arises. Look. ”

Everyone gathered around a table, but saw Yin Jifu take out a yellow cloth, unfold it and spread it on the table, it turned out to be a topographic map.

Yin Jifu said:

"The old man has sent someone to describe the terrain of the ancient military ground in Liujiabao, I want to arrange it like this, what do you think?"

At that moment, he pointed out the topographical map, arranged such and such an ambush, and after the enemy arrived, he attacked so and so, and after he succeeded, he withdrew so and so.

There was also a division of labor, who was responsible for snatching the baby girl, and who was responsible for blocking the enemy, and the end was very thorough.

When everyone heard this, they all shouted hello.

Yin Jifu made proper arrangements, put away the map, and turned to Pei Zhen:

"Manager Pei has an injury that has not healed, so you don't have to participate in the rescue operation, so I will arrange for you to hide in the afternoon."

When Pei Zhen heard this, where was he willing to follow? Loud Talk:

"Since the subordinates followed the owner of the village and went to the enemy, they have never lagged behind. Although the subordinates are injured, they are fine, and the subordinates must participate in the operation, even if they give their lives, they will not hesitate! ”

Long Zixi persuaded:

"Mr. Pei is arrogant and admirable. However, we need to ambush in advance, and the chief manager has a wound in the leg, but it is inconvenient.

"The manager has been injured for the next thing, which has made it difficult for him to feel uneasy, how can he let you take the injury to danger again?"

Everyone said:

"The young man is reasonable, and Mr. Pei will obey the owner's arrangement. When the injury is healed, there is a chance. ”

Pei Zhen had no choice but to do it, but he showed regret on his face, and he didn't like it.

In the afternoon, the group packed up their own things.

Long Zixi packed up his baggage and suddenly saw the small cloth bag that Miss Tian gave him.

I can't help but think that tomorrow's battle, I don't know what the outcome will be, if I can get out of the way, I can naturally know the secret.

However, if there are three long and two short, you will never know the secret in it.

And I thought, if I really can't come back alive, I don't know what might be better, just let it be an eternal secret.

Seeing that martial arts method again, he was naturally sad for Hua Dining.

This big brother Hua is righteous, but who knows that he died.

Thinking of Brother Hua, the hatred for the "jade-faced hot hand" surged again, and he secretly made a determination to take revenge in his heart.

Just as I was thinking, there was a knock on the door.

When I opened the door, it turned out to be Yin Jifu.

Long Zixi let Yin Jifu into the house, and the two sat at the table.

Long Zixi poured a cup of tea for Yin Jifu and said:

"Senior Yin, I don't know what to order?"

Yin Jifu nodded and said:

"Tomorrow is inevitable a fierce battle, and the old man remembered an important detail that needs to be guarded against in advance.

"The 'jade-faced hot hand' doesn't matter anything else, but there is a poisonous smoke that is very powerful. Last time, we suffered from the poisonous smoke.

After that, the old man asked a master to develop a medicine, which might be able to resist the poisonous smoke.

"The old man has already sent it to everyone, take it before leaving tonight, this one is for the virtuous nephew."

As he spoke, he took out a pill from his arms and handed it to Long Zixi.

Long Zixi took it and held it in his arms, and couldn't help but admire Yin Jifu's thoughtfulness.

Yin Jifu sighed and said:

"Please forgive the old man for being blunt, the old man is still a little worried.

"The virtuous nephew has excellent martial arts, if you do it with all your might, there are few opponents in the world.

"But the virtuous nephew is kind, and I don't know how much I have suffered!

"Tomorrow's battle, life is at stake, and there must be no more women's kindness!"

Long Zixi knew that he was worried that he would be bewitched by the masked boy again and that he would not be able to kill the killer, so he couldn't help but be ashamed. Firmly said at the moment:

"Seniors rest assured. After these years of experience, the little nephew will no longer be easily fooled, and he understands right and wrong, and the little nephew will never be soft tomorrow! ”

Yin Jifu nodded with satisfaction:

"That's the best."

Suddenly, he smiled again:

"It's a pity that the old man doesn't have a daughter, otherwise, it must be you, the fast son-in-law who rides the dragon!"

Long Zixi smiled shyly, thought about it, and said:

"Senior Yin, it was the duty of the little nephew to save the baby girl. However, if ......"

Yin Jifu said:

"What? The virtuous nephew has something to say, but please speak up. ”

Longzi West Road:

"The little nephew is thinking, if you encounter a strong enemy tomorrow and the situation is dangerous, you can see the opportunity to retreat. You don't have to be in danger because of your nephew. ”

Yin Jifu shook his head again and again, looked up to the sky and sighed:

"The mind of the virtuous nephew is evident every day.

"But with all due respect to the old man's bluntness, the virtuous nephew's words are wrong.

"After we wait for the word 'righteousness' to be the head, after we are really loyal martyrs, how can we only be a virtuous nephew?

"We should work together and fight side by side!"

Long Zixi was greatly moved, looked at Yin Jifu, and said nothing more.

Sending Yin Jifu away, Long Zixi packed up his belongings.

The thought that I might see my sister tomorrow can't help but feel uneasy.

I secretly thought, I have to save my sister tomorrow no matter what!

After thinking about it, he forgot to take the pill that Yin Jifu gave him.

66

That night, several people in a group were dressed in tight clothes and went straight to Liujiabao.

Around the fifth watch, Yin Jifu's subordinates had already arrived here.

The group came to the ancient military field.

I saw that it was a large hollow valley, surrounded by dense forests, behind the woods were cliffs and steep faces, there were several tall trees on the north and south sides, and there was only one exit from the south.

If anyone refuses to do so, it will be very difficult for the people of the valley to get out.

Heart: The other party chose such a location, and he had a heart to set up an ambush.

Thanks to Yin's seniors, who are well-informed and take precautions, they can't help but admire Yin Jifu again.

There were more than sixty of them, including Yin Jifu's subordinates who had come here beforehand.

Everyone ate something briefly, sent two people to lead the horses to the back mountain to hide, and according to Yin Jifu's plan, they ran to the surrounding trees and ambushed them.

In a moment it will be dawn.

About the end of the morning, the sound of people and horses suddenly came.

The group looked at it carefully, and saw more than a dozen people hitting the mountain early.

But he saw the men walking around the hollow valley, peering out into the woods from time to time.

Finally, stop at the mouth of the valley and dismount to rest.

Long Zixi glanced at Yin Jifu, who was closest to him, and said in his heart:

The other party is not an idle person, and obviously sent someone to investigate in advance.

If you hadn't come to the ambush early, you really wouldn't have been able to enter the valley.

I can't help but admire Yin Jifu again.

Look at the day past noon, and it is westward, it is already early in the afternoon, and another group of people came to the valley.

Long Zixi had already seen that it was the masked young man, still covered in a black scarf, with seven or eight entourages, one of whom was holding a baby in his arms.

When Long Zixi saw someone holding a baby, he couldn't help but beat his heart faster.

When those who were resting saw the boy, they stood up and bowed their hands very respectfully.

Listen to the young man:

"But what's out of the ordinary?"

One of them replied:

"Don't worry, Childe, we have already investigated, and there is no abnormality!"

Long Zixi couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart, these people were only careless, but they had already investigated, so what if they didn't investigate?

Looking at the person holding the baby again, it looked like his martial arts were ordinary.

I thought that I would move my hand for a while, and go straight to that person, and maybe I could succeed smoothly.

was thinking about himself, but when he saw Yin Jifu squeezing his eyes at him, he looked down again.

Seeing the young man and his party walk into the valley.

After a while, the sound of horses' hooves was heard again.

I saw a man with a full beard and an official uniform leading a dozen horses to the valley.

The man had just dismounted, and the masked boy stepped forward and clenched his fists:

"Master, the apprentice has already brought the baby girl."

Only then did Long Zixi know that the man was Qiu Shan, the chief of the imperial guard.

Unexpectedly, the masked boy and Qiu Shan turned out to be a master-apprentice relationship.

I feel strange again, the other party doesn't have many people and horses, could it be that Qiu Shan's horse team is still behind?

But he heard that Qiu Shan's "um" and nodded with satisfaction. Asked:

"Why don't you just bring the baby straight into the city, but arrange it like that?"

The masked young man hesitated for a moment, then said:

"In vain...... It's in vain that they have something to ask for. ”

Na Qiu Shan looked at the young man:

"You can do a few subordinates for the teacher, and the teacher also listens to you the most, but what do you ask for?"

The masked boy sighed and said slowly:

"The apprentice is walking in the rivers and lakes these days, but he feels ...... This baby girl should not be exterminated. ”

Qiu Shanyileng:

"What do you mean by that?"

Juvenile Road:

"Master, that baby girl is a baby girl after all, what can she do? The words of the diviner cannot be trusted.

"I think that Chen Du has a good relationship with the master, only this bit of blood and bones, why don't we spare his life, the beauty of adults?"

When Qiu Shan heard this, he laughed:

"Since the teacher has entered the official gate, he has received the great favor of King Xuan, and he is loyal to serve the country, and he has no other thoughts.

Chen Du has a good relationship with the old man, and the old man admires him very much.

"But today is a matter for the state, how can the public be abolished for private reasons?

"You asked the teacher to let the baby girl go, but you can't do it!"

When Long Zixi heard this, he said in his heart:

This Qiu Shan is loyal to King Xuan, but he is not like a treacherous person.

I was puzzled by what the masked boy had just said.

But I heard the young man say:

"Why doesn't Master follow the example of Master Na Dubodu, why do you try so hard?"

Qiu Shan's face was displeased:

"The teacher also knew that Du Bo did not do his best to deal with the baby girl, and intended to protect her.

"But don't you know the character of a teacher?

"Loyal ministers don't matter to the two masters, you don't have to say more.

"Besides, the teacher has already reported that King Xuan has found the baby girl, and King Xuan ordered that the identity should be verified tonight and put him to death.

"Even if you think about what to do for the teacher, it's too late!"

The masked boy sighed:

"That's fine. Then, the disciple has another request, Master don't embarrass that one...... That young man surnamed Long is good. ”

Qiu Shan suddenly laughed and said:

"The teacher knows your thoughts! What kind of dragon Shaoxia is, King Xuan doesn't know very well, and he didn't have an order to arrest him, and let him go.

"However, for the sake of the teacher, we have to see how capable he is."

Long Zixi is in the west, King Xuan didn't order to take me?

Then why did Yin Jifu say that day that King Xuan ordered to get me, reward me with 100,000 yuan, and give him the throne as an uncle?

Could it be that Yin Jifu deliberately said so, hoping that under the heavy reward, there will be a brave man?

couldn't help but turn his face to look at Yin Jifu, but saw that Yin Jifu was concentrating on the enemy.

It's not good to ask questions at the moment, so I turned my head and continued to look down.

Suddenly, Qiu Shanlang said:

"Heroes, why don't you come down and meet you?"
