The reason why Taihao let the old man go to the inn where he stayed to rest was not only worried about disturbing the tranquility of the Cat Temple, but also worried that the "four little ghosts" would come to the old man again. In addition, there are two other reasons, that is, because Taihao wanted to have alone time with the old man's female disciple Nian Yu, when he first saw Nian Yu in the cat temple, he was attracted by his beauty, and he fell in love at first sight; Another point is that Taihao wants to wait for the old man to wake up, so he can take the opportunity to worship the old man as a teacher and learn martial arts from the old man.

Since all the rooms in the Lingxi Inn were full, Taihao asked the dumb man to carry the old man into his room. After Dumb Shan lay his master flat on the bed, Nian Yu took out a silver needle bag from her bosom and took out a slender silver needle and stabbed it on her master's forehead. After Nian Yu put away the silver needle bag, she walked to the bed and covered her master with a quilt.

At this time, Taihao pulled Nian Yu aside and asked, "Sister Nian Yu, I have something I want to ask you, was your master also injured before fighting with the 'Four Little Ghosts'?" ”

Nian Yu looked at Tai Hao and asked in surprise, "How do you know?" ”

Tai Hao was very aware of the scene when the knights fought with the "Four Little Ghosts" in the Cat Temple just now, so he said: "I saw that when your master was fighting with the 'Four Little Ghosts', he only used one hand, and the other hand kept covering his stomach, so I think your master should have been injured before this, and the injured place was on the stomach. ”

Nian Yu sighed softly and said, "That's true, my master met Tu Poison Ink three days ago, and in the battle with Tu Poison Ink, Master was slapped in the abdomen, so ......" Nian Yu paused, and then added: "But I didn't know what happened to Master at that time, and it was only after a whole day that Master's abdomen was in severe pain, and I knew how vicious Tu Poison Mo's palm was." Now as long as you recuperate, the master has deep internal strength, and the injury in the abdomen is no longer a major problem. ”

Tai Hao nodded and hurriedly asked, "Who is Tu Poison Mo?" ”

Nian Yu said: "I heard from the master, that Tu Poison Mo is a martial arts master from the north, and his internal strength is extremely profound. In the Central Plains martial arts, there are not many chivalrous people who are his opponents. ”

"Is his martial arts superior to your master?" Tai Hao pondered for a moment and continued to ask, "After fighting with your master, was that Tu Poison Mo injured?" ”

Nian Yu said: "My master and that Tu Poison Mo are equal in martial arts, and they are both injured. ”

Taihao thought to himself: This river and lake is really full of fighting and killing, and he can be regarded as having opened his eyes today, I don't know if this kind of scene is common in the rivers and lakes.

Tai Hao continued to ask Nian Yu: "You said that the 'four little ghosts' killed your master to get the martial arts cheats, so does this Tu Poison Mo also want to get your master's peerless martial arts cheats?" ”

Nian Yu nodded lightly and said, "My master said that he is indeed also trying to get the secret book of martial arts......

Tai Hao pondered: I all want this old man's martial arts cheats, it seems that this martial arts cheats are really powerful, what kind of martial arts is it?

Thinking of this, he asked Nian Yu: "Sister Nian Yu, what is your master's peerless martial arts cheats, is it particularly powerful when there are so many people on the rivers and lakes who want to get it?" ”

Nian Yu said sullenly: "Actually, I don't know, my master has never taught us peerless martial arts. ”

At this time, Onishi came to Taihao's room and saw a few more friends he didn't know, and Onishi asked, "Twelve, these are all ...... Your friend? You've never said there's your friends in Fengling City. ”

Taihao said: "Don't ask first, I'll tell you when I have time." ”

Onishi smiled: "Actually, I just heard what the officers and soldiers said, you don't have to tell me anymore...... Twelve, it's okay right now, why don't we go out for a drink? ”

Taihao was also a little addicted to alcohol, and wanted to invite Nianyu to go with him, so he said to Nianyu: "Sister Nianyu, your master will have to work for half a day to wake up, why don't you go out for a drink with us first!" ”

Nian Yu said thoughtfully: "My master used to wake up within three hours, and sometimes it only took one hour to wake up. I'm still guarding the master here with Senior Brother Dumb Shan, you guys go, I won't go. ”

Taihao knew that she would refuse, but she continued to invite: "Come with us, let your master lie here and rest, when he wakes up, there is still a dumb brother here." ”

Nian Yu said: "I don't know how to drink...... Go ahead. ”

Taihao saw that Nianyu really didn't want to go together, so he said: "Since Nianyu sister doesn't want to go, then guard your master here, let's go first and come back soon!" Just took two steps, and smiled at Nianyu: "I'll bring delicious ...... to Nianyu's sister later."

After Taihao said goodbye to Nianyu, he went out of the room with Daxi, and called Gu Sheng, Juyu, and Shaoling to go to the wine shop next door. When he arrived at the wine shop, Taihao asked the bartender for two pots of good wine and a table of good dishes. Taihao personally poured wine for them, and said: "First tell everyone about the problems to be corrected, in the next Taihao from today onwards, everyone will be treated as brothers and sisters, don't call me Taihao in the future, just call me Taihao brother or Taihao brother, Jiao Yu is younger than me, you can call me Taihao brother or call me Taihao directly, Shaoling is also younger than me, the same." Gu Sheng is older than me, I will be called Gu Sheng in the future, and Gu Sheng can call me Brother Taihao. ”

The three of them responded in unison: "Good! Then he raised his glass and drank it all.

Onishi suddenly laughed: "Then what do I call you?" ”

Tai Hao replied with a smile: "You, you still call me twelve......"

They laughed together, and Onishi continued to laugh: "Haha, okay, I'll call you twelve in the future!" ”

The reason why Taihao asked Onishi to call himself twelve is because Taihao really likes this title. A sound of "twelve" could make his thoughts immediately return to Shizhu City, thousands of miles away; A "twelve" can make him suddenly think of his mother Yueying; A "twelve" can allow him to find his purest self and recall the beauty of the past.

Taihao asked Ju Yu again: "Sister Ju Yu, today I asked you who you learned martial arts from, and you haven't told me yet?" ”

Jia Yu replied, "Brother Taihao, my master is ...... Nine mounds. ”

Gu Sheng listened and hurriedly said: "It turns out that Sister Xuanyu's master is the 'Sword God' Jiuqiu! ”

For the name Jiuqiu, Taihao is not the first time he has heard of it, just a few days ago, he heard Brother Canggu talk about this Jiuqiu in the wine shop, Canggu said that his third uncle Huang Yu's master is the "Sword God" Jiuqiu. Taihao actually didn't know what the meaning of the "Sword God" represented, but he knew the "Cat God" that the cat people believed. In Taihao's heart, he believes that those who can be called "gods" must be martial arts. He asked directly: "Is the martial arts of the 'Sword God' Jiuqiu very strong?" ”

Every time Gu Sheng heard the names of those famous heroes in the rivers and lakes, he would be in awe, and said to Tai Hao: "Of course, the number one swordsmanship in this river and lake is the 'Sword God' Jiuqiu......

Tai Hao groaned: "No wonder Sister Jiaoyu is excellent in martial arts, it turns out that her master's swordsmanship is the number one chivalrous warrior in the rivers and lakes." ”

Qi Yu showed a very modest look and said, "Actually, I haven't learned much swordsmanship, but my sister has been learning from the master, and I have only studied for a year, so ...... There are a lot of difficult swordsmanship that I haven't mastered yet. ”

Gu Sheng said: "Miss Juyu is so modest......

Tai Hao said: "It turns out that Sister Jiayu also has a younger sister, who must also be excellent in martial arts." ”

Ju Yu said: "My sister and I have been learning martial arts with Master Jiuqiu since we were children, but one day, at my master's place, I met the emperor, my master and the emperor were originally like-minded friends, my master let me follow the emperor into the palace and be the emperor's personal guard, but my sister has been learning martial arts with the master, and she has never left." ”

Taihao nodded and said, "I see." ”

At this time, Shaoling, who had not spoken at the table, suddenly stood up, saying that his stomach was uncomfortable and he wanted to go back to the inn, so Taihao asked him to go back first. After Shaoling left, Taihao, Daxi, Gu Sheng and Ju Yu continued to drink and talk.

Tai Hao asked Gu Sheng again: "I don't know which famous teacher on the rivers and lakes is Gu Sheng's eldest brother's master?" ”

Gu Sheng was immediately ashamed of himself, and said: "I'm ashamed to say that I don't have a master, I just practiced some martial arts routines on the training ground with the forbidden army in the palace. I have always wanted to learn art from a teacher since I was a child, but due to fate, I have never met a famous teacher. ”

At this time, a yamen official came into the wine shop, and the official walked to Taihao's side, bowed his hand and said: "Lord Taihao, the city lord has important matters to discuss, please go to Qufu for a trip." ”

Tai Hao thought to himself: "Now that the truth about the Cat Temple has been revealed, what is the matter with the Qu Quan City Lord looking for me?" I asked a government official to invite me over, but I didn't go to the yamen, why did I go to Qufu? "Don't think about it, I'm in Fengling City, and the city lord of Fengling City has something to ask you to go, but I can't refuse. So, Taihao asked Ju Yu to follow him to Qufu. Leaving Onishi and Furusheng, the two of them continued to drink in the liquor shop.

After a while, they came to Qu Mansion, and Tai Hao saw the city lord of Qu Quan, bowed his hand forward, and said, "Qu Quan city lord, I don't know what will happen to the next place?" ”

Qu Quandao: "This time, thanks to Lord Taihao, I found out the truth, I just want to ask Lord Taihao, according to Lord Taihao's meaning, how to deal with Wanhua?" ”

Tai Hao pondered: According to the laws of the Eastern Empire, General Wanhua killed ten people's lives, and it should be reopened with great delay, because this is an unpardonable sin. As the city lord of Fengling City, Lord Qu Quan certainly knows this truth, why do you want to ask me how to deal with it?

Just thinking about it, he only listened to Qu Quan and continued: "Just now, the prison guards came to report that Wanhua was shouting the name of Lord Taihao in the prison, saying that he wanted to see you and asked him what was the matter, but he didn't want to say, he had to wait until he met Lord Taihao to say, do you want to go to the prison to see him?" ”
